[00:00] <n00bzy> i need some asistance using snort-mysql + base + ossec on a server install
[00:01] <Titan8990> n00bzy: you probably want to see the snort IRC
[00:01] <Titan8990> n00bzy: snort is a very advanced topic
[00:01] <laeg-fail> pike_: you spoke to me about this earlier on
[00:01] <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 partition's mount point to /home and that doing so won't delete it or create a second home folder?
[00:01] <mrglinux> no solution ?
[00:01] <laeg-fail> i just need to be certain before i proceed with the installation because the data in /home part is so valuable
[00:01] <pike_>  laeg-fail yep
[00:01] <laeg-fail> pty :D
[00:01] <laeg-fail> ty
[00:01] <pike_> laeg-fail: wait
[00:01] <laeg-fail> LOL
[00:01] <laeg-fail> ok
[00:02] <pike_> laeg-fail: is /home on a seperate partition than / at the moment?
[00:02] <laeg-fail> yes
[00:02] <estudiante> fuxxy: Well, you were right, "wget --help|grep directory" would've done the trick, thanks anyway.
[00:02] <laeg-fail> well at the moment there is no /
[00:02] <laeg-fail> i deleted it by mistake
[00:02] <laeg-fail> but /home has always had its own partition
[00:02] <puff> pike_: Okay, plugging in that ubuntu drive now...
[00:03] <pike_> laeg-fail: ok in the ubuntu install choose 'manual' option and setup /home as mounted to /home before you write changes to disk make sure that the /home mount point is set to 'do not format' to be honest im normally so paranoid i setup home in fstab after the install but that should do it
[00:03] <pike_> laeg-fail: manually setup partition table i mean
[00:03] <messeup> is there a ubuntu eee channel ?
[00:03] <phorensic> !eee
[00:03] <puff> pike_: Gotta live boot CD. I'm a little unclear on steps 3, sudo grub,  and 4, root (sdb1) and 5, setup (sda)
[00:04] <laeg-fail> pike. yeah it's not set to format - any chance this will create two /home dirs there? laeg and laeg2 maybe?
[00:04] <messeup> phorensic hehe.. can people stop eee ing :P i asked if ther was a channel not a howto :p
[00:04] <laeg-fail> is it definitely necessary to tell the OS where the /home dir is or will it not just see it and see who has permission to it
[00:04] <laeg-fail> ?
[00:05] <pike_> laeg-fail: no ive used it before it mounts it and uses that for /home just like a /boot or whatever partition it should just work as long as you dont accidentally tell it to format the partition
[00:05] <pike_> laeg-fail: with ext3 all perms will be preserved as long as you create the same user name
[00:05] <per_bits> i need some asistance using snort-mysql + base + ossec on a server install.. does anyone have experience with this setup
[00:05] <DasBaum> jemand bock auf quiznight?
[00:06] <chronofire> my sound doesnt work it worked earlier what are possible reasons?
[00:06] <n2diy> what is the equiv. to fdisk in Ubuntu?
[00:06] <exodus_ms> messeup: check the link from 'eee ing' there is info on IRC channel there ;P
[00:06] <pike_> puff: you have more than one hard drive in the new case?
[00:06] <laeg-fail> ok pike_ thanks, lets roll it :)
[00:08] <pike_> laeg-fail: remember i am not responsible for any monetary damage that may result :)
[00:08] <laeg-fail> tell it to my lawyer :D
[00:09] <laeg-fail> tell me, for the next install, does it matter much which sda has /, /home, linux swap and other os?
[00:09] <laeg-fail> pike_
[00:10] <Blice> Hi, how do I go about manually installing a GTK theme in Ubuntu? Usually I would just drop the folder containing the gtk2.0 folder into my /usr/share/themes, however, when I did this in Ubuntu the theme doesn't show up under "Controls" in the customize dialog in appearance settings.
[00:10] <puff> pike_: As it turns out, no, only one sata cable availabe, so it's trying to boot off the installed hard drive.
[00:10] <pike_> laeg-fail: not really in the old days people used to say to make swap first on the disk but anymore.. it doesnt matter
[00:10] <Halai> I am experiencing a bug which is exactly the same as described in Bug 225975 in Launchpad. The issue has been confirmed resolved but I'm not sure how to resolve it on my end. Could someone help me out please
[00:11] <phorensic> messeup: #ubuntu-eeepc
[00:11] <pike_> puff: so it should be trying to boot from that hd and looking at that mbr.  it doesnt boot ubuntu though?  ubuntu is already on the hard drive?
[00:11] <per_bits> if i am in need of some assistance how do i go about getting help? do i just spam my question untill i get a response in here?
[00:11] <Alice22> hello i have a little problem my mouse left button has the setting changed how can i make it back like it was first time ? can eny whone help i can`t use my left, action button from my laptop ....
[00:11] <phorensic1> messeup: checking the links probably wouldn't hurt right?
[00:12] <pike_> per_bits: usually just ask and wait like 5 min before asking again
[00:12]  * phorensic1 agrees with pike
[00:12] <per_bits> thank pike
[00:12] <puff> It appears that it did indeed boot from the old installed ubuntu drive.
[00:12] <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?
[00:12] <powertool08> per_bits: Sometimes that works but not always, I'd ask google again and maybe in #snort, then check back here in ~30 min when new people have joined
[00:12] <puff> It also appears that this keyboard is nonfunctional, looking for a functional one.
[00:13] <Halai> I am experiencing a bug which is exactly the same as described in Bug 225975 in Launchpad. The issue has been confirmed resolved but I'm not sure how to resolve it on my end. Could someone help me out please
[00:13] <pike_> puff: yeah i mean if all you did is switch motherboard and stuff but kept hard drive order then only thing you may need to worry about is the video card driver if that has changed
[00:13] <Blice> Hi, how do I go about manually installing a GTK theme in Ubuntu? Usually I would just drop the folder containing the gtk2.0 folder into my /usr/share/themes, however, when I did this in Ubuntu the theme doesn't show up under "Controls" in the customize dialog in appearance settings.
[00:13] <Imaginativeone_> how do I fix my streaming videos from chopping?
[00:13] <phorensic1> Blice: I think there is an installer for those.. appearances maybe?
[00:14] <Blice> phorensic1: I know but I need to know how to do it manually, that was my question :x
[00:14] <pike_> Blice: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy  may have something
[00:14] <phorensic1> Blice: you mean through a commandline?
[00:14] <per_bits> powertools their is a #snort channle here
[00:14] <Blice> phorensic1: No I mean through copying files over.
[00:15] <phorensic1> Blice: ie. you dont have the original package?
[00:15] <Halai> How do I go about going from kernel linux-image-2.6.27-* to linux-image-2.6.26-*
[00:15] <powertool08> per_bits: On freenode yes, type "/join #snort"
[00:15] <mrglinux> my firefox open as offline always also i disable oofline
[00:15] <Blice> phorensic1: I have the folder with the gtk folder inside of it for installing. On my usual distrobution I just drop it into /usr/share/themes and it works fine, but not in Ubuntu.
[00:16] <phorensic1> Blice: hmm is it system preferences appearance.. then install? Is that the one you mean?
[00:16] <pike_> Halai: ls /boot and see if it is already installed as an old kernel if that is the case then you can just replace the kernel name and initrc in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[00:16] <pike_> Halai: by gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[00:17] <Halai> pike thanks.
[00:17] <woo> pike - I think I might have cracked it thanks to you. It seems to be copying. I guess this takes the permissons away from the copy?
[00:17] <ayfon> how do i change tab count of nano?

[00:21] <root> is mest up now
[00:21] <phorensic1> root you can also try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[00:21] <ryanakca> root: Tried restarting X (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) or try what phorensic1 says
[00:22] <root> phorensic1: thats it :) i tried reconfigure xserver, xserver-config, xorg
[00:22] <root> and other stuff
[00:22] <root> ryanakca: i already tried that lots :)
[00:22] <mrglinux> does any one read my problem ?
[00:22] <root> hmm
[00:22] <phorensic1> root remember to try tab autocomplete if you forget some commands
[00:22] <pike_> root: can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log?  or just the tail end of it?
[00:22] <root> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg only asked me about my keyboard
[00:23] <pike_> root: it autodetects most stuff but it is re-writting the config file
[00:23] <phorensic1> root nvidia card?
[00:23] <Titan8990> root: that is because you didn't sudo it
[00:23] <pike_> or that :)
[00:23] <spencercornyn> hello i use wubi to install ubuntu... where can is the location of windows in file manager?
[00:23] <Titan8990> root: it should ask you about everything except for video card, with current setting already highlighted
[00:23] <phorensic1> spencercornyn: hmmm try the places tab?
[00:24] <Alinon> any memtest guru's in the house?

[00:24] <phorensic1> try network places?
[00:24] <Perogies> I have suse installed on my computer in a dual boot with ubuntu. Can I run that suse install at the same time as ubuntu?
[00:24] <mrglinux> nobody don't pay attention to me?
[00:24] <Alinon> for some reason when i run memtest it shows different timings and mhz then the bios does
[00:24] <spencercornyn> phorensic1: there is no windows partition as wubi installed ubuntu inside windows...
[00:24] <n8tuser> Perogies -> only if one is running on a VM
[00:24] <root> alright :) http://ross.plan9.de/xorg
[00:25] <pike_> spencercornyn: i THINK wubi creates a ext2 or fat formatted file in windows and then boots that? if that is the case then you couldnt navigate to it in windows
[00:25] <root> no its an intel
[00:25] <root> and yes i ran it as root im not stupid :)
[00:25] <phorensic1> spencercornyn: true but i was thinking it would pick it up through the workgroup? I've never tried wubi and for good reasons :-p
[00:25] <bamboo> disappearedng
[00:25] <Titan8990> Perogies: yes, with special configuration and VM, I have "heard" it could be done
[00:25] <werdnum> There's a better method than Wubi.
[00:25] <Perogies> xen or virtual box
[00:26] <phorensic1> pike_: he wants to navigate to windows withiin linux not the otherway around from what i can tell
[00:26] <Perogies> or what?
[00:26] <pike_> phorensic1: oh :)
[00:26] <n8tuser> Perogies -> openvz too
[00:26] <puff> pike_: well, it's a web server, so it looks all cool.
[00:26] <root> anyoen make anything of that file?
[00:27] <disappearedng> what?
[00:27] <pike_> root: i got a 403 on that link
[00:27] <njs_> Can I have anyone's xorg.conf file? Nothing is working, and I can't bother to learn the syntax and read my laptop
[00:27] <njs_> 's specs.
[00:27] <phorensic1> root yes access denied
[00:27] <Alinon> for some reason when i run memtest it shows different timings and mhz then the bios does - like it should show ddr1066, but memtest is showing like 935 O.o
[00:27] <phorensic1> root use pastebin
[00:27] <Titan8990> njs_: what video card are you using?
[00:27] <spencercornyn> phorensic1: i am in linux and want to navigate to windows folders with nautilus... where is the folder... wubi was my installer and there is no partition
[00:27] <root> no pastebin, ill chmod it :)
[00:27] <unop> root, you'll have to populate xorg.conf yourself .. the new xorg is supposed to be autoconfiguring
[00:28] <njs_> It's from Nvidia.
[00:28] <phorensic1> spencercornyn: I understand this, i am not sure where this would be as i havent used wubi.. did you look in /media?
[00:28] <Titan8990> njs_: using proprietary or open source drivers?
[00:28] <root> alrighty
[00:28] <root> y'all can read the fiel now
[00:28] <njs_> I *think* their proprietary.
[00:28] <mrglinux> gnome-system-monitor doesn't run in user and crash before viewing the window
[00:29] <njs_> Woops, I mean they're
[00:29] <spencercornyn> phorensic1: yes i did...
[00:29] <brotherhand> I'm having some unexplained sound breakup from jack, can anybody cast some light on this? no xruns, dsp generally stays under 5%, no messages or system log to explain it...
[00:29] <n8tuser> njs_ -> try dexconf     man dexconf
[00:29] <root> i just did dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -a
[00:29] <root> @.@
[00:30] <njs_> It works, but the res is 800x600
[00:30] <kouya> spencercornyn: you can click Places > Computer > Filesystem > host (if you installed useing wubi)
[00:31] <pike_> root: were you trying to use another port on the vid card and then then happened?  its like it needs to be told to use vga or something

[00:31] <weatherkid> Hey can someone help me ? I am trying to convince my BOE to switch to Edubuntu LSTP. I need facts, figures, PowerPoint. Everything. Thanks a million!
[00:31] <mrglinux> gnome-system-monitor doesn't run in user and crash before viewing the window
[00:31] <Titan8990> njs_: be warned of the resolution.... you will probably want to change that
[00:31] <spencercornyn> kouya: is that the filesystem? i was able to access it sometime ago.. and it showed windows files... == in an actual folder
[00:32] <njs_> Wow, you must have a huge monitor...
[00:32] <njs_> Thanks.
[00:33] <kouya> spencercornyn: yes i pick up my windows files form /host ^^
[00:33] <Titan8990> njs_:its a 24 but I have seen that resolution on 17' laptop screens
[00:34] <spencercornyn> oh ok... kouya thanks... so how can i scan it with clamav... do i write just /host? or root/host? etc?
[00:34] <cyphase> if i want to access samba via ssh forwarding, what port do i have to forward? 138?
[00:34] <kouya> (sorry i installed ubuntu 3 days ago)  i dont know
[00:35] <Titan8990> njs_: if you want to change it to the open source drivers you just change: Driver "nvidia"     to:    Driver "nv"
[00:35] <spencercornyn> ok thanks...
[00:35] <cbwcjw> weatherkid: http://doc.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/edubuntu/handbook/C/intro-why.html
[00:35] <root> hmm idk
[00:35] <root> im jsut using my laptpo

[00:35] <n2diy> what is the equiv. to fdisk in Ubuntu?
[00:36] <kouya> antivirus is it nessesary?
[00:36] <rascal999> im trying to install webcam on ubuntu and it works on this machine but not another (same ubuntu distro) dmesg here http://pastebin.com/d554ed8cc
[00:36] <Titan8990> n2diy: ubuntu has the fdisk command
[00:36] <root> the problem arrised when i tried plugging a hdtv to my laptop
[00:36] <root> with hdmi port and used gnome-display settings
[00:36] <n2diy> Titan8990: thanks, will it run from a floppy?
[00:37] <padi> hi all
[00:37] <Titan8990> n2diy: no but you can use it from the live cd.... or from an install or liveCD of really any linux distro
[00:38] <pike_> rascal999: do you have access to the old computer?  can you plug in the webcam and do a lsmod to see what driver its loading?
[00:38] <padi> about procmail: how can I make it apply the rules to mails, that are in my INBOX rather than only for new incoming mails?
[00:38] <Xintruder> Does ubuntu come with more drivers installed, or windows xp?
[00:38] <Xintruder> where do i find this comparison information
[00:39] <padi> I meant: "... that are ALREADY in my inbox"
[00:39] <rascal999> pike_: the computer it works on or the other?
[00:39] <n2diy> Titan8990: ok, I'm trying to take a Windows drive to bare metal, and restore it.
[00:39] <cptr13> Xintruder...I cant say for sure but I'd have to guess Ubuntu.  Ubuntu detects most my stuff out of the box consistantly.  With Vista, I have to load them from the driver disc
[00:39] <pike_> rascal999: the computer that works.  im wondering if you need to maybe blacklist a module or modprobe a diff module
[00:39] <rascal999> videodev               43136  1 sn9c102
[00:39] <Titan8990> n2diy: do you have a linux install or livecd?
[00:40] <rascal999> on the one it doesn't work
[00:40] <rascal999> videodev               29440  2 gspca,sn9c102
[00:40] <root> bah
[00:40] <n2diy> Titan8990: yes I do.
[00:40] <root> @.@
[00:40] <rascal999> on the other
[00:40] <rascal999> gspca, i swear i installed that on the other machine
[00:40] <Titan8990> n2diy: you can use that, just do sudo fdisk from the terminal
[00:41] <n2diy> Titan8990: ok, thanks.
[00:42] <puff> Hm.
[00:42] <Titan8990> padi: procmail is a delivery agent, I am not sure it can be configured to modify mail already in your inbox
[00:43] <puff> pike_: Interesting.... so I'm tooling along fine, doing a mysqldump on the old ubuntu drive, actually at this point I'm gzipping up the mysqldump file, and the console prints "BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0!" and now the keyboard doesn't work.
[00:43] <padi> Titan8990: I agree, but it's 3000 mails that need to be sorted somehow...
[00:43] <kitche> padi: have to use your email client or something to sort it out
[00:43] <gbear14275> is this the correct way to restart apache? apachectl -k graceful
[00:43] <Titan8990> padi: mbox or maildir format?
[00:44] <gbear14275> and does that work on apache2?
[00:44] <padi> Titan mbox
[00:45] <padi> Titan8990: mbox

[00:53] <DoctaEntropy> Hello, I need some help. I tried to mount my external hard drive, and have had some difficulties. It's a western digital 500GB that I formatted to NTFS not too long ago and pretty much all it has is a lot movies. I just installed a dual boot with ubuntu, and wanted to mount it. I created the mount point /media/external1 and then modified /etc/fstab. However, when I try to mount it, it tells me I have to force it. So when I do
[00:53] <Bitfish> thehook_, its still very poorly written
[00:53] <Bitfish> thehook_, you don't even check if the user has root rights
[00:54] <thehook_> Bitfish: that's why im looking for feedback and help :) It is basically just ripped apart from some tutorials and inserted in a shell script
[00:55] <Brack10> Hi
[00:55] <Bitfish> thehook_, you have to completely rewrite the script, to make it useful
[00:55] <woo> would I be able to repair an installation just by clicking the instal link on the live disk desktop
[00:55] <Brack10> Ubuntu isn't detecting my LCD flat panel's max resolution, so I edited xorg.conf per the forums to make it force the setting and I've had no luck.  Can anyone help?
[00:56] <thehook_> Bitfish: any suggestions on what "features" the script should have? I'm not the worlds best shell scripter but I can always learn :P
[00:56] <Bitfish> Brack10, did you installed the newest drivers for your videocard?
[00:56] <Cpudan80> Brack10: you want to use xrandr
[00:57] <Cpudan80> !xrandr
[00:57] <Brack10> Bitfish: yep
[00:57] <Brack10> Cpudan80: okey dok, thanks
[00:57] <Bitfish> Brack10, okay, see the link above then
[00:57] <Cpudan80> Brack10: that assumes your drivers are OK
[00:57] <Cpudan80> Brack10: fyi LVDS is a laptop screen (the article talks about it)
[00:57] <thehook_> Bitfish: Any chance of you wanting to help me with it? If you think it may be interesting of course :)
[00:57] <Bitfish> thehook_, first of all, you have to do some checks, like if the user has root rights, etc
[00:57] <somethingtodo> anyone else have issues playing cnn video?  Hulu and youtube play okay, but CNN has like 1-2 second feezes every few seconds... makes it unwatchable.  Not sure if it's a bandwidth thing or something with flash...  anyone having that same issue?

[00:59] <redvamp128> somethingtodo:  could you provide a link to the video you are having isues to...

[01:02] <ayfon> hello i have written a program that checks if samba is stopped and if so starts it. the problem is, to test the program i stopped samba and run the program with sudo. everything was ok. then i tried to add the program to cron, i added the program to the crontab of root to run once in every 5 minutes, stopped samba, and waited for 5 minutes. after 5 minutes i've seen nothing is changed. i have checked the file /var/log/syslog
[01:02] <njs_> The new Xorg.conf didn't work; it can't find any screens...
[01:03] <dtolj> I have created a new umask in /etc/profiles, how to apply it?
[01:03] <usr13> ricardo: What do you need?
[01:03] <redvamp128> somethingtodo:  For me it is doing it-- 8.04.2 and flash 9
[01:03] <ricardo> the connection overwrite my dns in resolv.conf, using gnome ppp
[01:03] <_Vi_> corinth: because ubuntu doesnt focus on bleeding edge software
[01:03] <ricardo> any help
[01:03] <redvamp128> somethingtodo:  though I think it is not a Ubuntu Issue but a Flash issue.. You have version 9,0,152,0 installed
[01:03] <usr13> ricardo: Basically you need nameserver ###,###,##,#
[01:04] <ricardo> how usr13?
[01:04] <Titan8990> ricardo: dhcp will write your resolv.conf, are you using dhcp?
[01:04] <ricardo> yes
[01:04] <guest164827> what is the channel for NetworkManager?
[01:04] <ricardo> sure it overwrites it
[01:04] <MydNyteFlyte12> Hi everyone!  Need help with an external HDD using Super Ubuntu....formatted and external 1TB USB HDD in ext3 and having issues.  I can unmount and mount, and unable access file that was created and and have no persmission to write or read..............
[01:04] <ricardo> dns 11.12.13.14
[01:04] <U-b-u-n-t-u> what channel is used for vid help?
[01:04] <redvamp128> somethingtodo:  though I can see that pausing the video and waiting to play until whole bar turns red -- fully loaded it does not skip the sound as bad.
[01:05] <ricardo> how can i avoid overwriting?
[01:05] <Titan8990> ricardo: no, I didn't think it overwrote it....
[01:05] <usr13> ricardo: cat >> nameserver    hit enter and then a line:  nameserver ###.###.##.#   and then Ctrl-D
[01:05] <Kornhole> quick and stupid question: I just changed my resolution to something WAY too small, and can't get it back because the screen resolution window is cut off, can anyone tell the the keyboard shortcuts to get the resolution changed? (I'm on 8.10 btw)
[01:05] <cornwall> hi, I've been working towards getting a bug proposed and someone mentioned sending the bug upstream
[01:05] <somethingtodo> revamp128:  huh... according to about:plugins, 8.10 has flv set to be played by:  Totem Web Browser Plugin 2.24.3
[01:05] <cornwall> How would I go about that?
[01:05] <usr13> ricardo: In other words, you must need a valid domain name server address after the word "nameserver" on a line by itself
[01:05] <redvamp128> somethingtodo:  when I click on the player it says flash is playing
[01:06] <cornwall> all I can find at the moment are some wikis on what it is, not what to do
[01:06] <ricardo> yes usr13 i have one
[01:06] <ricardo> usr13 the problem is that it changes every time i reboot
[01:06] <ricardo> i configured gnome ppp with my dns and resolv.conf too
[01:06] <cellofellow> how do I re-enable a network printer that has been disabled because I tried to print while disconnected?
[01:06] <usr13> ricardo: Oh, well then your router is giving out wrong info. The problem is with the router.
[01:07] <ricardo> i dont have a router
[01:07] <ricardo> i checked resolv.conf and it changes every time
[01:07] <thehook_> Anyone know how to suppress the big blue screen asking for MySQL root password when installing mysql-server?
[01:07] <bukowski> i have a Thompson TG585v7 router. can someone help me find the configuration page?
[01:07] <usr13> ricardo: as long as  you have your system set to DHCP, then it's going to ask the router for IP info and enter it into the proper places, and that includes the nameserver IPs
[01:08] <bukowski> how can i see the ip of my router?
[01:08] <ricardo> usr13 how can i unset DHCP?
[01:08]  * cellofellow figured it out, have open system-config-printer.
[01:08] <usr13> ricardo: In other words, you have a DHCP server on your lan that is giving out a nameserver address, and if that nameserver address is wrong, you will have to change it.
[01:08] <ricardo> usr13 how?
[01:08] <usr13> ricardo: Set  to static
[01:09] <ricardo> i have static dns
[01:09] <CareBear\> hello all! is there anything I can do about the 8.10 install cd being incredibly slow when run in VMware ?
[01:09] <redvamp128> burkmat:  should be able to use network tools traceroute
[01:09] <Titan8990> ricardo: use the network manager or configure it in /etc/network/interfaces
[01:09] <usr13> ricardo: Use a static IP that is outside the pool that the DHCP server is using, set default route and add a valid nameserver IP to resolv.conf
[01:09] <redvamp128> bukowski:  I mean -- shoudl be able to use network tools and traceroute
[01:10] <Titan8990> CareBear\: I would use the alternate cd
[01:10] <usr13> ricardo: You can use the natwork manager to do all that if you like.
[01:10] <redvamp128> bukowski:  should be the second hop in that tool
[01:10] <CareBear\> Titan8990 : ok? why is that? (talk technical, I've been running Linux for a long time, just never ubuntu)
[01:10] <thehook_> bukowski: usually it is your IP address, except the last digit is .1 (ex your IP 192.168.1.103 then router probably is 192.168.1.1)
[01:11] <Titan8990> CareBear\: the alternate CD is just an installer, no LiveCD
[01:11] <Z_God> I'm trying to install jaunty, but it asks me for a mirror
[01:11] <redvamp128> bukowski:  goto system -- administration -- the network tools -- the traceroute and should be the second hop in the trace
[01:11] <Z_God> what can I fill in there?
[01:11] <CareBear\> Titan8990 : ok, text based install? that sounds good.
[01:11] <_Vi_> Z_God: join #ubuntu+1
[01:11] <Z_God> ok, thx
[01:11] <ricardo> ok thank you
[01:11] <_Vi_> np
[01:11] <Titan8990> CareBear\: it also helps to run the VM straight from an image if you are not already
[01:11] <ricardo> i'm gonna try
[01:11] <cornwall> There's a somewhat simple bug that's affecting the en_us locale that noone that it affects can sort out
[01:12] <cornwall> the compose key is backwards
[01:12] <ricardo> i'll be back
[01:12] <cornwall> https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296216
[01:12] <CareBear\> Titan8990 : the .iso you mean? sure, doing that already.
[01:12] <Titan8990> CareBear\: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate
[01:12] <CareBear\> Titan8990 : thanks!
[01:12] <usr13> ricardo: Default gateway IP would be the routers IP
[01:12] <Titan8990> CareBear\: np
[01:12] <cornwall> any ideas?

[01:16] <tsuna27> titan8990 nope just the wallpaper
[01:16] <somethingtodo> redvamp128:  it was compiz.   Disabling it fixed the issue...  doh.
[01:16] <Titan8990> bukowski: let me see if I can find a guide
[01:16] <adye> its a common problem... with LTS 8.04 ?   firefox surfing ...not reallly good..bug error, java bug, video bug.etc?and how i can resolve that
[01:16] <Titan8990> tsuna27: right click -> change desktop background
[01:16] <adye> ?
[01:16] <MydNyteFlyte12> bruenig: your reply was empty
[01:16] <bukowski> Titan8990, i'm goodgling for 1 hour :) i would really appreciate it if you could find me the right guide.

[01:17] <BCampbell> how does one make the "documents" folder in the home directory open the "my documents" folder on a windows ntfs partition?  is it a symlink I need?
[01:17] <Dr_willis> BCampbell,  yes  'ln -s oneplace  /path/to/otherplace
[01:17] <redvamp128> somethingtodo:  also compiz messes with wine too-- so glad to hear you fixed the issue... For me -- pausing the videos and letting the buffer build up makes videos play the best for me.. (Road Runner Light here)
[01:17] <BCampbell> Dr_willis, thanks
[01:17] <adye> 8-)
[01:17] <MydNyteFlyte12> bruenig: regardless are you able to assist with the external HDD issue?
[01:17] <adye> so nobody use LTS 8.04?
[01:18] <comicinker1> BCampbell: drag and drop while Alt pressed
[01:18] <kingbilly> bukowski: keep in mind that new LAN will have to be on a different subnet than any other network devices you have on those computers (wireless, additional nic card)
[01:18] <Titan8990> bukowski: look at the bottom of this article: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/426/5
[01:18] <redvamp128> adye:  yes I have 8.04.2 here
[01:18] <laeg> is there a guide on how to install up to date software that doesn't come from the repo, or than comes at a .tar.br2 file?
[01:18] <bukowski> lets see...
[01:18] <bruenig> MydNyteFlyte12: how are you mounting it
[01:18] <Titan8990> bukowski: you need configure your addresses to that, or something similar to that
[01:18] <bruenig> MydNyteFlyte12: are you trying to read and write as root
[01:18] <bukowski> ok
[01:18] <U-b-u-n-t-u> what is the help channel for compiz etc

[01:22] <laeg> bruenig: care to enlighten me?
[01:23] <comicinker1> MydNyteFlyte12: you said it's ext3. it could have errors. have a look at dmesg, it will tell you if it contains errors
[01:23] <bruenig> laeg: azureus is a garbage application, but what it wants you to do is extract and run a program in it

[01:33] <Titan8990> bukowski: get on the computer you gave the address 192.168.0.1 to, open a terminal, type: ping 192.168.0.2
[01:33] <bukowski> Titan8990, ehm... to do this i have to disconnect the internet cable :)
[01:34] <bukowski> i suppose that the network is... pingable, though :)
[01:34] <mortuis99> how do a clear the cache in synaptic?
[01:34] <Titan8990> bukowski: yes, you should be able to ping one computer from another
[01:34] <poutine> Is there anyway to completely disable pulseaudio and switch back to primarily using alsa?
[01:34] <Titan8990> bukowski: it will verify that the configuration is correct
[01:34] <bukowski> Titan8990, supposing that i am, how can i transfer files?
[01:34] <Mulder> i'm using the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver on an ati mobility radeon x300, ubuntu 8.10 and a thinkpad t43. the suspend to ram feature doesnt work at all. it makes my screen black and then the system becomes unresponsive.  is there any way to fix it? (fglrx driver works though)
[01:34] <comicinker1> mortuis99: apt-get clean
[01:35] <Titan8990> bukowski: what operating systems are the computers running?
[01:35] <totzillo> is there a way to ssh into a remote machine and have the whole desktop redirected to the original machine and use a DISPLAY :1 so u can do ctl alt f8 and seee one desktop and ctl alt f7 for the other ?
[01:35] <exodus_ms> poutine: I have a link to troubleshooting pulseaudio from the forums, do you want to take a look?
[01:35] <poutine> no
[01:35] <poutine> I want to disable it
[01:35] <poutine> not troubleshoot it
[01:35] <laeg> bruenig: cool, i have the dir now in my opt dir using the sudo cli, the read me says i just need to run the script azureus now and gives an example of ./azureus, but when i type that nothing happens?
[01:36] <poutine> linus should have gotten on the whole audio problem before OSS/ALSA matured
[01:36] <bruenig> laeg: cd into the extracted directory and run that command
[01:36] <axisys> how do I convert the audio in /dev/audio0 to audio file?
[01:36] <bruenig> it is not even a command it is a path to the executable that you are providing
[01:36] <poutine> I know there's got to be many others who hate pulseaudio as much as me
[01:36] <bruenig> . is the current directory, so there needs to be a file in the current directory called azureus which is executable
[01:36] <bukowski> Titan8990, ubuntu and xubuntu.
[01:36] <exodus_ms> poutine: I believe you can just select alsa everything
[01:36] <kitche> poutine: so don't use it alsa and pulseaudio are just work arounds for OSS really
[01:36] <poutine> exodus_ms, Where? In Ksolitaire?
[01:37] <laeg> bruenig: hold that though, sorry i thought i was in there but i'm only in opt. i think i have it from here, thanks for your help, and i'm only using azureus because last time i checked it's the only client capable of shuffling inactive seeding torrents for others in the queue to help with ratio
[01:37] <exodus_ms> poutine: sure try that, let me know how it goes
[01:37] <laeg> *thought
[01:37] <poutine> exodus_ms, you gave a poor answer
[01:37] <poutine> I was pointing that out
[01:37] <poutine> not that I don't appreciate any help given
[01:38] <poutine> just "Select <x>" when you don't specify _where_ is pretty useless
[01:38] <Peddy> How do I automatically install all dependencies for source code that I downloaded via apt?
[01:38] <nameless`> hi
[01:38] <nameless`> what is the common balise to reduce the size of the police ?
[01:38] <exodus_ms> poutine: you seem to know enough about how certain things get integrated into a release, surley you can figure out how to kill pulseaudio?
[01:38] <jbebel> Anyone else having network installs fail?  Looks like prat.canonical.com is being slow to respond and some package downloads are timing out.  Is it just my location?
[01:39] <nameless`> i tried \documentclass[twocolumn,9pt]{article}
[01:39] <Titan8990> bukowski: so you are sending multiple GBs?
[01:39] <nameless`> but it didn't works
[01:39] <nameless`> ops
[01:39] <poutine> exodus_ms, Yes, I'm more than aware of how to kill it, in fact, I'm even more aware that it's silently crashing/stopping. Unfortunately everything seems to want to still use pulseaudio
[01:39] <bukowski> Titan8990, i want to send 200-250 GBs.
[01:39] <poutine> I'm asking how to completely bypass pulseaudio
[01:39] <poutine> as just killing it doesn't magically make alsa work again
[01:40] <DoctaEntropy> So, who wants to help me?
[01:40] <Titan8990> bukowski: are they in the same directory?
[01:40] <bukowski> Titan8990, no.
[01:40] <poutine> I think I got it
[01:41] <poutine> thanks exodus_ms, and kitche
[01:41] <bukowski> Titan8990, i would also like to have a tool that except for the file transfering allows me to control the one PC over the other, to PXE boot the one from the other... etc
[01:41] <bgamari> has anyone seen a LiON battery go from 70% design capacity to 35% design capacity in a matter of two weeks after a year of use?
[01:41] <DoctaEntropy>  I tried to mount my external hard drive, and have had some difficulties. It's a western digital 500GB that I formatted to NTFS not too long ago and pretty much all it has is a lot of media files. I just installed a dual boot with ubuntu, and wanted to mount it. I created the mount point /media/external1 and then modified /etc/fstab. However, when I try to mount it, it tells me I have to force it. So when I do my drive sponta
[01:41] <exodus_ms> poutine: http://paste.ubuntu.com/110107/
[01:41] <BCampbell> DoctaEntropy, have you tried ntfs-config?
[01:42] <Titan8990> bukowski: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo
[01:42] <poutine> now that is wonderful, thanks a bunch exodus_ms
[01:42] <Titan8990> bukowski: there are other options that are easier, such as SCP, but the transfer speeds are slow
[01:43] <Peddy> What's the apt-get command that installs build dependencies for a certain program?
[01:43] <DoctaEntropy> BCampbell, I am literally a little baby and have no experience with Ubuntu beyond 24 hours ago. I have no clue what ntfs-config is, or how I should go about doing it.
[01:43] <Titan8990> bukowski: if you need something now, without that much configuration, you can use rsync
[01:43] <kitche> Peddy: build-depend I do believe
[01:43] <bukowski> rsync? let me see...
[01:43] <IntuitiveNipple> Peddy: sudo apt-get build-dep <package>
[01:44] <BCampbell> DoctaEntropy, welcome to the club... in a terminal type (without quotes) "sudo apt-get install ntfs-config"
[01:44] <kitche> ah yes dep
[01:44] <bukowski> Titan8990, is there any GUIs for controlling one PC over the other via ethernet?
[01:44] <IntuitiveNipple> When on doubt, "man <command>"
[01:44] <Titan8990> bukowski: I don't use GUIs for anything, so I wouldn't know
[01:44] <Titan8990> bukowski: most server apps do not, because linux servers don't have GUIs
[01:44] <DoctaEntropy> BCampbell, finished I think
[01:45] <comicinker1> bukowski: yes
[01:45] <bukowski> comicinker1, what?
[01:45] <Peddy> thanks IntuitiveNipple and kitche
[01:45] <kitche> Titan8990: most linux servers do have GUIs just that smart admins don't use the GUI
[01:45] <comicinker1> vino  uses VNC for controlling dektops
[01:45] <BCampbell> DoctaEntropy, look in the "applications menu" at the top of the screen, you should have a system tools item, in there you can configure read/write to external drives
[01:46] <multipass__> anyone else have a SB Audigy that doesn't work?  my device is detected but it looks like ubuntu is trying to use emu10k1 instead of emu10k2 as the ALSA site suggests for this card.  can anyone advise?
[01:46] <comicinker1> bukowski: the PC to be controlled needs vino-server to be installed, the client needs vino
[01:46] <phil> is there a problem with the madwifi.snapshots.org server? i haven't been able to connect to it to get my atheros wifi drivers for the last 2 days
[01:46] <bukowski> vino from synaptics?
[01:46] <comicinker1> yes
[01:47] <Dr_willis> multipass__,  i think it depends on the exact audigy card. as to what one to use.. I used to have those - but dont any more.
[01:47] <DoctaEntropy> BCampbell, now what
[01:47] <Shakedown> How do I set it so I can execute a program from anywhere?
[01:47] <bukowski> comicinker1, is there vino for xubuntu?
[01:47] <Shakedown> within the file system
[01:47] <BCampbell> DoctaEntropy, you may have to close the x-server (ctrl+alt+bkspace) and log back in..that's all it took for my external drive to work
[01:47] <multipass__> Dr_willis, it's true, and i've located my card, but the right driver is not installed.  do i have to mod the kernel or something to get the right one now?
[01:48] <comicinker1> bukowski: yes
[01:48] <Titan8990> Shakedown: you have to add the directory of the program to your PATH variable, or create sym link to the program to somewhere already in your PATH
[01:48] <comicinker1> !VNC | bukowski
[01:48] <Titan8990> bukowski: xubuntu and ubuntu use the repositories
[01:48] <Titan8990> comicinker1: he is looking for file transfer....
[01:48] <poutine> exodus_ms, on second thought, this isn't really removing it at all, simply doing sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio; apt-get install esound seemed to do the trick, oh and removing pulseaudio references from rc levels
[01:49] <Shakedown> I can do that with 'export PATH=PATH+/path' ? What's the syntax for that.
[01:49] <bukowski> Titan8990, its says: VINO, VNC server for GNOME.
[01:49] <bukowski> isnt it gnome-only?
[01:49] <Titan8990> bukowski: no, that just means it uses gtk libraries
[01:49] <comicinker1> Titan8990: bukowski: oh
[01:49] <Titan8990> bukowski: xubuntu also runs on gtk libraries
[01:50] <navarro> goodnight all
[01:50] <comicinker1> bukowski: the most simple method for exchanging files between linux machines is ssh
[01:50] <Titan8990> Shakedown: syntax is: export PATH='/new/path:$PATH'
[01:50] <Titan8990> Shakedown: you can add it to you .bash_profile
[01:50] <n00balien> hello everyone
[01:50] <bukowski> ooooooooooo...
[01:50] <navarro> hello
[01:50] <bukowski> so xubuntu runs all the gnome things?
[01:51] <Shakedown> Titan8990: Thank you
[01:51] <n00balien> I have a question but i can wait until ur done helping others ;)
[01:51] <Titan8990> comicinker1: yes, but he needs to transfer a very large amount of stuff
[01:51] <BCampbell> n00balien, ask or you'll be waiting for a long time
[01:51] <Titan8990> Shakedown: np
[01:52] <Titan8990> bukowski: it can, and usually without having to get additional libraries
[01:52] <redrebel> is there a command that allows to quickly check the listening ports based on the process name?
[01:52] <Titan8990> bukowski: kubuntu can also run gnome and xfce programs but typically, it will need to download a lot of new libs for them
[01:52] <Titan8990> bukowski: all the programs are interchangable
[01:53] <Shakedown> How do I find the location of some file somewhere in the filesystem?
[01:53] <bukowski> Titan8990, yes.. but why when i donload a kde programm in ubuntu or xubuntu, it doesnt appear in the programms menu?
[01:53] <redrebel> Shakedown: find
[01:53] <bukowski> for example, i donwloaded sensorsd.
[01:53] <yell0w> Shakedown: fine / -iname *somename*
[01:53] <DoctaEntropy> BCampbell, no luck
[01:53] <n00balien> Alright I have a WUSB100 Linksys Wireless USB Adapter, ubuntu, ported drives from windows with ndiswrapper and for some reason i cannot use network manager(wireless manager) or even see wlan0 without first going to terminal and switching to root even though i have given permissions to my regular user for wireless access
[01:53] <Titan8990> bukowski: you have to add it manually, or run it from the terminal
[01:54] <n00balien> sometimes it wont boot up until i do iwlist wlan0 s
[01:54] <Titan8990> bukowski: sometimes you don't, but its just how it was packaged
[01:54] <bukowski> how adding manually?
[01:54] <DoctaEntropy> BCampbell, still won't mount. and i tried to force it again, but it didn't work then either
[01:54] <Shakedown> yell0w: find / -iname filename?
[01:54] <nat2610> is there a way to do apt something to get the .deb file of a package?
[01:54] <BCampbell> DoctaEntropy, I may have missed a step, did you try to add the mount to your fstab?  if so remove the entries and reboot.  Sorry my bad
[01:54] <Titan8990> bukowski: gnome has a menu editor, not sure about xfce
[01:54] <Titan8990> bukowski: right click -> edit menus
[01:54] <yell0w> Shakedown: that works too if you know the filename
[01:54] <n00balien> is there anything i can do to fix this so wireless is available without these steps taken
[01:54] <DoctaEntropy> BCampbell
[01:54] <DoctaEntropy> okay let's try it
[01:55] <yell0w> Shakedown: man find and man locate
[01:55] <bukowski> Titan8990, ok, then?
[01:55] <Titan8990> Shakedown: also, if it is a program in your path you can find it with the "wich" command
[01:55] <phil> is there a problem with the madwifi.snapshots.org server? i haven't been able to connect to it to get my atheros wifi drivers for the last 2 days..anywhere else i can get them or any insight on whats up with the madwifi.org site?
[01:55] <Titan8990> bukowski: new item
[01:55] <bukowski> yes.?
[01:56] <bukowski> Titan8990, ok...
[01:56] <n00balien>  Alright I have a WUSB100 Linksys Wireless USB Adapter, ubuntu, ported drives from windows with ndiswrapper and for some reason i cannot use network manager(wireless manager) or even see wlan0 without first going to terminal and switching to root even though i have given permissions to my regular user for wireless access,sometimes it wont boot up until i do iwlist wlan0 s  .is there anything i can do to fix this so wireless is avail
[01:56] <Titan8990> bukowski: give the button the name and the command used to launch it
[01:56] <n00balien> ok there we go all together ;)
[01:56] <bukowski> oh...
[01:56] <kitche> phil: seems like snapshots.madwifi.org is no longer around sicne they switched to ath5*
[01:56] <n00balien> drivers*
[01:56] <Titan8990> bukowski: the program is usually put in your path
[01:57] <bukowski> thank you bery much
[01:57] <bukowski> gotta go now
[01:57] <bukowski> bb
[01:57] <Titan8990> bukowski: so for example if you got kdevelop you would launch it with: kdevelop
[01:57] <multipass__> figured it out, theres a mute switch turned on by default!
[01:57] <kitche> phil: considering the madwifi site works fine
[01:57] <salmon> hey so i was making the upgrade to 8.10 and well it has stoped doing it's thing, it's been at 13 mins for 2 hours now, got to preparing to configure libmono-sharpzip0.84-cil   and now it's doing nothing. anyone have any ideas on whats wrong here
[01:58] <walter> has anybody used a radeon 7000 with 8.10?
[01:58] <kitche> salmon: well anything mono is huge
[01:58] <laeg> walter: be the first
[01:58] <alcane> so, I got an older emac. The pure white one. Ubuntu 8.10 boots fine off the CD, but when it goes to auto-detect the CDROM, it can't find it. and I don't see a cdrom or dvd in the /dev
[01:58] <laeg> :P
[01:58] <alcane> any ideas?
[01:58] <multipass__> how can i get more info about the Xubuntu Mixer app?  i'd like to know what all these "switches" are.
[01:58] <n00balien>  Alright I have a WUSB100 Linksys Wireless USB Adapter, ubuntu, ported drives from windows with ndiswrapper and for some reason i cannot use network manager(wireless manager) or even see wlan0 without first going to terminal and switching to root even though i have given permissions to my regular user for wireless access,sometimes it wont boot up until i do iwlist wlan0 s  .is there anything i can do to fix this so wireless is avail
[01:58] <salmon> kitche: yeah but it's been at that file for two hours, is there any way i can tell if it's still working or not?
[01:58] <n00balien> drivers*
[01:59] <kitche> salmon: not sure about that really
[01:59] <salmon> kitche: ok thank you anyway
[01:59] <thomc> Hello. I've set my screen to power off after a certain time in the gnome power management settings, but it doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas?
[02:00] <alcane> I think I have a g3 emac. It's sorta old and pure white. Ubuntu 8.10 boots fine off the CD, but when it goes to auto-detect the CDROM, it can't find it. and I don't see a cdrom or dvd in the /dev.
[02:01] <n00balien>  Alright I have a WUSB100 Linksys Wireless USB Adapter, ubuntu, ported drivers from windows with ndiswrapper and for some reason i cannot use network manager(wireless manager) or even see wlan0 without first going to terminal and switching to root even though i have given permissions to my regular user for wireless access,sometimes it wont boot up until i do iwlist wlan0 s  .is there anything i can do to fix this so wireless is avai
[02:01] <laeg> is there a run command for ubuntu? i'm trying to create a launcher in the applications menu with a command like opt/vuze/./azureus
[02:01] <walter> has anybody used a radeon 7000 with 8.10?
[02:01] <ChemicalPipit> good morning
[02:01] <alcane> laeg: right click and make a launcher
[02:01] <Cpudan80> laeg: azures should already make its own icon
[02:01] <dreamy> walter: do u have 7000 ? do u have 3d accelaration?
[02:01] <hellslinger> anyone know how to install artwiz fonts in ubuntu? intrepid ibex doesn't have any xfonts-artwiz package in apt
[02:02] <laeg> alcane: the right click drop down menu doesn't give me that option
[02:02] <dreamy> walter: i got ubuntu .. i got the m6 ly (7000)
[02:02] <laeg> Cpudan80: the version in the ubuntu repo is very old so i installed it from binary into opt
[02:02] <alcane> Any ideas? eMac, trying to install 8.10, CDROM won't auto-detect, no cdrom or dvd found in /dev
[02:02] <alcane> laeg: place it on your desktop and then try to pull it over
[02:02] <dreamy> ubuntu 8.04

[02:03] <laeg> alcane: the shell script? won't moving it to the desktop mess things up?
[02:03] <ChemicalPipit> so im a n00b, want to talk to someone about switching from XP
[02:03] <nightrid3r> !patiance | alcane
[02:03] <salmon> ok so i am making the switch to 8.01 and nothing is really happening, it got to libmono-sharpzip0.84-cil and just stopped working, there is an icon in the corner that says "unable to get data" when i hover it, anyone know whats up?
[02:03] <alcane> laeg: are you just trying to create a shortcut?
[02:04] <laeg> yes, it's already installed
[02:04] <laeg> alcane: i want the launcher in applications > internet
[02:04] <BCampbell> been away from IRC for a long time where can I find info on setting up login scripts etc..that are multi-client usable?
[02:04] <laeg> alcane: but when i try the one i've made i get "Failed to execute child process "opt/vuze/./azureus" (No such file or directory"
[02:05] <alcane> nightrid3r: sorry, i'm at work and really just want to get ubuntu installed before I leave even if I can't use the cdrom, but it seems that the system can't find it =s
[02:05] <n00balien>  Alright I have a WUSB100 Linksys Wireless USB Adapter, ubuntu, ported drivers from windows with ndiswrapper and for some reason i cannot use network manager(wireless manager) or even see wlan0 without first going to terminal and switching to root even though i have given permissions to my regular user for wireless access,sometimes it wont boot up until i do iwlist wlan0 s  .is there anything i can do to fix this so wireless is avai
[02:05] <exodus_ms> BCampbell: irssi?
[02:05] <alcane> laeg: you made it on your desktop and it won't even work there? or was that after you tried to move it?
[02:05] <alcane> nightrid3r: so... do you have any ideas? =D
[02:05] <laeg> alcane: i didn't make anything on my desktop...
[02:06] <BCampbell> exodus_ms, that's an app?  i was thinking more of a website with how-tos.  google isn;t helping much
[02:06] <exodus_ms> BCampbell: sorry, I mis-read your question. I though you were looking for scripts to run on your chat client
[02:06] <laeg> alcane: azureus is installed and working in /opt/vuze but they only way i've so far been able to launch it is through terminal opt/vuze/./azureus which keeps the terminal window open
[02:07] <laeg> *the
[02:07] <BCampbell> exodus_ms, that may help, but is irssi an app?
[02:07] <exodus_ms> BCampbell: it is a console app for irc
[02:07] <alcane> BCampbell: yes, sudo apt-get install irssi
[02:07] <BCampbell> exodus_ms, thanks I'll look into it
[02:07] <spill> I know longer have a splash screen after the gui loads in 8.10 any thought\s?
[02:08] <alcane> laeg: create a launcher and make sure it works on your desktop
[02:08] <alcane> laeg: does that keep a terminal open?
[02:09] <spill> Ino longer have a splash screen after the gui loads in 8.10 any thought\s?
[02:09] <ryanprior> How do I tell a process which CPU core (s) to run on?
[02:09] <laeg> alcane: yes, this is how i know it keeps a terminal open :)
[02:09] <Shakedown> What if I don't have a .bash_profile file? Can I just create one?
[02:09] <laeg> how do you mean my desktop?
[02:10] <alcane> laeg: are you selecting the "Run in Terminal" option?
[02:10] <alcane> laeg: ok, you're creating a launcher, right?
[02:10] <alcane> laeg: where?
[02:10] <multipass> i somehow added this master volume control to my panel.  how do i remove it?  i can't seem to right-click it like i can with the other panel apps.  help?
[02:10] <n00balien>  Alright I have a WUSB100 Linksys Wireless USB Adapter, ubuntu, ported drivers from windows with ndiswrapper and for some reason i cannot use network manager(wireless manager) or even see wlan0 without first going to terminal and switching to root even though i have given permissions to my regular user for wireless access,sometimes it wont boot up until i do iwlist wlan0 s  .is there anything i can do to fix this so wireless is avai
[02:10] <alcane> multipass: click, hold, pull it off
[02:10] <laeg> alcane: the applications menu
[02:11] <laeg> nope, not selecting run in terminal because i don't want to see a terminal
[02:11] <multipass> alcane, it doesn't work, because it's a slider type of control.  anywhere i click registers as moving the slider.  do you think it's maybe a setting and not an app?
[02:11] <codeshah> hey guys, how can I use command line 'ftp' or other commands to download recursively directories from another host?
[02:12] <werdnum> wget -r
[02:12] <spill> I no longer have a splash screen after the gui loads in 8.10, I jure removed kde and went back to gnome, any thoughts?
[02:12] <alcane> multipass: possible I guess
[02:12] <mchelen> codeamuk1, try ncftpget -R
[02:12] <multipass> alcane, this is xubuntu, btw.
[02:12] <mchelen> codeamuk1, check man ftp and man ncftpget
[02:12] <alcane> multipass: ah, yea, not very well versed in KDE

[02:15] <simple> hi I'm hoping to change some interrupts to knock the bugs out of JACK and it occurs to me my /proc/interrupts is a blank doc. am I missing something?
[02:15] <simple> (pun)
[02:15] <alcane> simple: lol
[02:16] <laeg> alcane: np man, i appreciate the effort :) here's what i did, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=144546

[02:16] <cdenny> this ubuntu studio is pretty cool, but where can I find others?
[02:16] <cdenny> as far as themes
[02:17] <simple> msg: cdenny have you checked out gnome-art?
[02:17] <spill> I no longer have a splash screen after the gui loads in 8.10, I jure removed kde and went back to gnome, any thoughts?

[02:17] <n00balien>  Alright I have a WUSB100 Linksys Wireless USB Adapter, ubuntu, ported drivers from windows with ndiswrapper and for some reason i cannot use network manager(wireless manager) or even see wlan0 without first going to terminal and switching to root even though i have given permissions to my regular user for wireless access,sometimes it wont boot up until i do iwlist wlan0 s  .is there anything i can do to fix this so wireless is avai
[02:18] <laeg> alcane: it's crazy because the properties of the launcher i created using nano looks exactly like the one i created in the gui
[02:18] <Dr_willis> spill,  thers some gnome setting to show/not show that gnome-splash when the user logs in..  I find it useless. :) so i dont want it enabled.. an no i dont know where the settings at. :)
[02:18] <spill> Dr_willis: this is the ubuntu splash that use to load right after the gui.
[02:19] <exodus_ms> laeg: are you trying to install Azureus
[02:19] <Dr_willis> spill,  its a gnome-splas with a UBUNTU logo is all it is.. if i recall. if you mean 'right after the user logins with GDM'
[02:19] <S7UMPY> has anyone had any luck getting Synfig Studio working on ubuntu 8.10?
[02:19] <Phantomime> Hi there, I am trying to run ubuntu and win xp on a virtual machine. I am at a screen where VM is telling me to select a hard disk image to be used as the boot hard disk of the virtual machine. I have already installed win xp and ubuntu and I am wondering if I should use the installation disc that I downloaded Ubuntu from with VM. Can you help me with this?
[02:19]  * Dr_willis thinks the term 'SPlash' gets used way too much :)
[02:20] <spill> Dr_willis: no, I mean the orange ubuntu screen that loads right after I select the os to boot, my badn.
[02:20] <Cpudan80> Phantomime: What is the host OS?
[02:20] <Cpudan80> Phantomime: the one actually installed on the real machine
[02:20] <laeg> exodus_ms: it's done, just had some problems with the launcher - the launcher i created using the GUI was exactly the same as the one created by nano but only the nano one worked, the former gave the error "Failed to execute child process "opt/vuze/./azureus" (No such file or directory" - or maybe i was just missing a forwardslash at the start...
[02:20] <Phantomime> what do you mean by host Cpudan80?
[02:20] <axisys> how do I convert the audio in /dev/audio0 to audio file?
[02:20] <schristie> does anyone know what causes the error message: Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. Must be connected to a terminal.
[02:20] <Dr_willis> spill,  thats the Usplash/bootsplash - I also disable that usless thing. :) it hides imporntant error mesages.
[02:20] <Dr_willis> !bootsplash
[02:20] <Dr_willis> !splash
[02:20] <Cpudan80> Phantomime: the host os is the real OS installed on the real machine
[02:20] <Dr_willis> !usplash
[02:20] <Cpudan80> not any fancy virtual things
[02:20] <Phantomime> oh, the one that is actually installed is win xp, but Ubuntu is installed too...
[02:21] <Dr_willis> spill,  check that 'usplash' info site
[02:21] <Cpudan80> Phantomime: so you dual boot ubuntu and XP ?
[02:21] <Phantomime> I am on win xp right now though..sory if I am confusing :D
[02:21] <simple> is there a file somewhere that does what /proc/interrupts is supposed to do?
[02:21] <spill> Dr_willis: k, thanks.
[02:21] <Cpudan80> This is very confusing
[02:21] <Phantomime> yes I am dual booting
[02:21] <Phantomime> linux on top of XP.
[02:21] <Cpudan80> Phantomime: So right now you have an XP host and you put some vm software on there - and you are trying to run Ubuntu in the VM software
[02:22] <Cpudan80> Phantomime: ok - so whats the problem?
[02:22] <Phantomime> correct.. sry for the confusion
[02:22] <CareBear\> simple : /proc/interrupts lists which interrupts are used by which drivers
[02:22] <dmhardison> is there a simple way to find out if i am running the 32 bit or 64 bit version of ubuntu server?
[02:22] <Cpudan80> it wasn't too bad ;-)
[02:22] <n00balien>  Alright I have a WUSB100 Linksys Wireless USB Adapter, ubuntu, ported drivers from windows with ndiswrapper and for some reason i cannot use network manager(wireless manager) or even see wlan0 without first going to terminal and switching to root even though i have given permissions to my regular user for wireless access,sometimes it wont boot up until i do iwlist wlan0 s  .is there anything i can do to fix this so wireless is avai
[02:23] <Phantomime> should I boot up from the install disc that I installed ubuntu from, or should I get the .iso file to boot up from?
[02:23] <Dr_willis> dmhardison,  uname -a, and perhaps lsb_release -a
[02:23] <Cpudan80> Phantomime: oh it really doesnt matter
[02:23] <aragorn> hi all
[02:23] <Cpudan80> Phantomime: if you use the ISO, thats probably slightly faster
[02:23] <Phantomime> oh... well, in that case, I guess it should be really easy.
[02:23] <dmhardison> ah uname -a did it.
[02:23] <dmhardison> Dr_willis thank you.
[02:23] <Phantomime> thanks mate
[02:23] <multipass> i know it was something i did last night to turn on this stupid volume slider
[02:24] <Cpudan80> Phantomime: dont try to connect the VM into your dual booted Ubuntu install
[02:24] <Cpudan80> Phantomime: that will make things blow up
[02:24] <multipass> now what i have are 2 volume apps in the panel, one master slider, one normal one to bring up the mixer
[02:24] <Cpudan80> nobody wants that

[02:24] <schristie> where should I go for help on x forwarding over ssh?
[02:25] <Cpudan80> that'll be $99.99
[02:25] <blaherz> hmmm
[02:25] <Cpudan80>  :-)
[02:25] <blaherz> where did this came from
[02:25] <Phantomime> oh wait...
[02:25] <Cpudan80> schristie: ssh -X IP
[02:25] <blaherz> ???
[02:25] <blaherz> i found a cd of ubuntu on the table
[02:25] <Phantomime> what do you mean?
[02:25] <blaherz> lol
[02:25] <schristie> Cpudan80: I know, but I've been getting a weird error message of late
[02:25] <Cpudan80> Phantomime: lol
[02:25] <schristie> Cpudan80: Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. Must be connected to a terminal.
[02:25] <Phantomime> sry, first time doing this...
[02:25] <Cpudan80> is X running on the guest OS ?
[02:25] <Cpudan80> Phantomime: I was only kidding
[02:25] <blaherz> lol
[02:26] <ryanakca> Could somebody direct me to a framebuffer PDF viewer?
[02:26] <schristie> Cpudan80: I think so
[02:26] <Cpudan80> But if you want to send me $99.99 ... by all means!
[02:26] <Phantomime> wait... are you pulling my leg, or what?
[02:26] <schristie> Cpudan80: it should be running on both
[02:26] <Cpudan80> schristie: what is the guest OS running
[02:26] <schristie> Cpudan80: what do you mean?
[02:26] <Cpudan80> err like what OS on the guest side
[02:26] <Cpudan80> windows/linux/...
[02:26] <Cpudan80> Phantomime: yes - it was a joke
[02:26] <blaherz> schristie, you need X server running on the host to do ssh in -X mode
[02:26] <Phantomime> okay...
[02:26] <Phantomime> :D
[02:26] <schristie> Cpudan80: I'm using xming to connect to ubuntu server
[02:26] <adam> this is retarted
[02:26] <Phantomime> D:
[02:27] <schristie> Cpudan80: it's worked before
[02:27] <blaherz> oh
[02:27] <adam> this is sooooooooooo stupid
[02:27] <Cpudan80> schristie: xming on windows ?
[02:27] <schristie> Cpudan80:
[02:27] <n00balien> cpudan:  reguarding my question do you know why this might happen?
[02:27] <Cpudan80> schristie: then that goes to our friends in ##windows
[02:27] <schristie> Cpudan80: yes
[02:27] <blaherz> schristie, i never made xming work here lol
[02:27] <blaherz> no can do
[02:27] <blaherz> xD
[02:27] <Cpudan80> sure you can
[02:27] <schristie> blaherz: well, I installed andlinux, which did all of the setup
[02:28] <blaherz> u used a package
[02:28] <blaherz> its automatic
[02:28] <simple> so since it is blank there has to be a file somewhere that is doing what /proc/interrupts is supposed to be doing, right? or else I would think the system wouldn't work
[02:28] <blaherz> no setups needed
[02:28] <CareBear\> simple : /proc is mostly read-only
[02:29] <JA> Anyone know how to download google books?
[02:29] <CareBear\> simple : and not really essential for the system to run
[02:29] <CareBear\> simple : but several utilities do need it
[02:29] <CareBear\> simple : /proc is a special filesystem
[02:30] <JA> Anyone know how to download google books?
[02:30] <schristie> Cpudan80: do you know what might cause that error anyway? I don't think it has much to do with xming. Is it more likely to be the server or client?
[02:30] <Dr_willis> blaherz,  i use xming all the time. :) its handy
[02:30] <CareBear\> simple : called procfs, and it is mounted like any other filesystem, except all the files and directories are created on the fly by the kernel, it's not stored on any real disk
[02:30] <schristie> Dr_willis: ever had that error?
[02:30] <CareBear\> simple : so probably you just don't have it mounted right now
[02:30] <Cpudan80> schristie: has to be the client, nothing has to be done on the server that's special
[02:31] <schristie> Cpudan80: ok
[02:31] <CareBear\> simple : try running mount /proc
[02:31] <CareBear\> simple : note that you have to cd out of the dir first
[02:31] <schristie> Cpudan80: of course, I'm always confused by x over which is client and which is server
[02:31] <Dr_willis> schristie,  i dident see you rorigianl problem.
[02:31] <Cpudan80> schristie: the server is the thing you are connecting to
[02:31] <simple> careBear: hold on I think I got it. gedit shows a blank page, but nano sees the doc just fine
[02:31]  * Cpudan80 could make very bad analogy about this
[02:31]  * Cpudan80 will refrain for fear of being banned ;-)
[02:32] <schristie> Dr_willis: I'm attempting to forward x over ssh connecting to ubuntu server from andlinux on windows, which has worked before, but now I get the error "Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. Must be connected to a terminal."
[02:32] <CareBear\> simple : the reference test is always to use cat
[02:32] <Pe1o>  /join #freenode
[02:32] <schristie> Cpudan80: lol, I know that's how things normally work, but I keep reading things that make it sound like the "client" is the one you're connecting to, and the "server" is the one you're connecting from
[02:32] <simple> CareBear: so cat reads pretty much anything, huh?
[02:33] <Dr_willis> schristie,  I normally just use the xming wizard..  Not sure on that error. sorry.   You are sshing into the linux box beforhand? with putty? or what exctly?
[02:33] <CareBear\> simple : correct
[02:33] <Cpudan80> schristie: that guide you're reading is wrong
[02:33] <simple> CareBear: that's great thanks a lot
[02:33] <Cpudan80> The thing you plug into is the "server"
[02:33] <Cpudan80> the thing that does the plugging is the client
[02:33] <CareBear\> simple : some special things can need dd, but if you only remember one tool it should definately be cat :)
[02:34] <zerwas> I would like to create 30 seconds of a video file with simply a black screen. how can i do this?
[02:34] <Dr_willis> zerwas,  ffmpeg and mencoder - i think can both do that.
[02:34] <schristie> Cpudan80: wikipedia: "The X Window System is based on a client-server model: a single server controls the input/output hardware, such as the screen, the keyboard, and the mouse; all application programs act as clients, interacting with the user and with the other clients via the server."
[02:34] <zerwas> Dr_willis> the question is how
[02:34] <CareBear\> zerwas : which file format would you like it to be and which resolution do you want?
[02:34] <Dr_willis> zerwas,  or so i seem to recall a way in the FAQ for them
[02:34] <CareBear\> /frame size
[02:35] <zerwas> CareBear\> 352x288
[02:35] <simple> CareBear: the dd man is confusing to me, but I will look into it
[02:35] <kiosk> surabaya
[02:35] <Dr_willis> zerwas,  one can make a  black jpg. and use it as a signgle frame.. then tell memcoder to repeate that frame so many times..
[02:35] <zerwas> CareBear\> the format does not matter that much
[02:35] <Dr_willis> zerwas,  i tried making a slide show once of 300 screen shots.. :) it lasted like 3 sec.
[02:36] <Dr_willis> zerwas,  i forget if it was ffmpeg i used or mencoder..  Proberly mencoder
[02:36] <zerwas> Dr_willis> ah that's a good idea. i need these 30 seconds because i want to put them at the beginning of another video file and couldn't find a program that was able to handle this
[02:36] <ryanprior> How do I tell a process which CPU core (s) to run on?
[02:36] <Dr_willis> Linux gives you the tools to do the jobs :) like a 'wood shop'    Gotta find the right Hammer.
[02:37] <DoctaEntropy> BCampbell, no
[02:37] <DoctaEntropy> BCampbell, sorry for the wait, no luck
[02:37] <mrwes> Dr_willis: or saw :)
[02:37] <Dr_willis> mrwes,  hammers are more fun!
[02:37] <schristie> is there an x windows chatroom?
[02:37] <DoctaEntropy> BCampbell, I just get the same error
[02:37] <BCampbell> DoctaEntropy, man... is it listed in NTFS-Config tool?
[02:37] <zerwas> Dr_willis> yeah ... i tried kino, Jahshaka, PiTiVi etc. and most of them crashed ...
[02:38] <zerwas> linux is simply not the video editing system
[02:38] <CareBear\> Dr_willis : check out smilutils
[02:38] <Dr_willis> zerwas,  check out winff also. a front end to ff
[02:38] <zerwas> Dr_willis> thanks for the hint!
[02:38] <Dr_willis> zerwas,  you are used to  'do it all in one' programs.    not the 'hammer/saw/router' method
[02:39] <Dr_willis> 'mortising jig'  vs 'hammer and chissle and drill' :)
[02:39] <mrwes> zerwas: have you checked out kdenlive?
[02:39] <zerwas> Dr_willis> no, i know the "one program for one purpose" philosophy of *nix, but in video editing, every program has some capabilities, but none of them has all ;)
[02:39] <Cpudan80> schristie: That is correct
[02:39] <zerwas> mrwes> not yet
[02:39] <Cpudan80> schristie: if poorly worded
[02:39]  * jam3s2001 prefers the monkey wrench, blow torch, dynamite method
[02:40] <schristie> Cpudan80: is there a x windows chat room?
[02:40] <Cpudan80> I dunno
[02:40] <mrwes> zerwas: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/kdenlive
[02:40] <Dr_willis> I drive my friends at work CRAZY with my 'computers  are a Woodshop' analogies
[02:40] <Cpudan80> If you really having trouble with xming on windows you should join ##windows
[02:40] <Cpudan80> Think about if you go to a sit down restaurant
[02:40] <mrwes> Dr_willis: I can't imagine that!
[02:40] <Cpudan80> The server is the one that does all the work
[02:40] <zerwas> mrwes> thanks, i will have a look at this.
[02:40] <Cpudan80> the same is true with X tunneling
[02:41] <Cpudan80> most [if not all] the work is done on the server
[02:41] <Cpudan80> [the thing you connect to]
[02:41] <exodus_ms> This must be analogy night :P
[02:41] <Cpudan80> I was going to use a much worse analogy
[02:41] <Cpudan80> but I dont want to get a KLine
[02:41] <BCampbell> DoctaEntropy, just to refresh..you removed the entiry from fstab and rebooted, when you open the NTFS-Config tool is the extrenal drive there and can you click on the "allow write to external" option?
[02:41] <exodus_ms> na, it was good,
[02:42] <schristie> Cpudan80: I understand the wording, analogy, and usage. It's just that I can never tell whether someone is using "server" and "client" relative to xwindows definition, or the standard local/remote definition
[02:42] <hollenjf> i want to do video capturing to make home movies. whats the best card to use?
[02:42] <schristie> Cpudan80: in other wikipedia pages, they appear to use them in the opposite meaning
[02:42] <Cpudan80> schristie: the machine you are connecting to is always the server
[02:42] <Cpudan80> ignore Wikipedia
[02:42] <schristie> Cpudan80: except in xwindows
[02:42] <schristie> Cpudan80: most of the time
[02:42] <Cpudan80> no not except anything!
[02:42] <schristie> Cpudan80: depends on who's talking
[02:43] <Cpudan80> The thing you connect to is *ALWAYS* the server
[02:43] <Cpudan80> This is networking 101
[02:43] <schristie> Cpudan80: I know, that's why it's so annoying
[02:43] <Cpudan80> I dont see how its hard or annoying but ok
[02:43] <mrwes> hollenjf: hauppauge card
[02:43] <schristie> Cpudan80: but every time I've seen the terms defined for xwindows, client is remote, and server is local
[02:44] <BCampbell> hollenjf, what is your source? video camera, usb firewaire?
[02:44] <schristie> Cpudan80: another instance: [Footnote: We have tried to avoid paragraph-length footnotes in this book, but X has defeated us by switching the meaning of client and server. In all other client/server relationships, the server is the remote machine that runs the application (i.e., the server provides services, such as database service or computational service). For some perverse reason that's better left to the imagination, X insists on 
[02:44] <DoctaEntropy> BCampbell, yes i have
[02:44] <Cpudan80> schristie: that is wrong
[02:44] <Dr_willis> schristie,  X sort of uses the terms in a backwards ways at times..   :)
[02:44] <jedihome> how much of a hit in performance do you get when running ubuntu 'inside windows' (fat32) ?
[02:44] <hollenjf> mrwes: not all hauppage cards are supported, such as the wintv-PVR's.. my source is video camera (hi8) composite out
[02:44] <jedihome> also is there a way to install ubuntu without burning it to a physical cd ?
[02:44] <thiebaude> !x
[02:45] <Dr_willis> jedihome,  You mean via 'Wubi' ?
[02:45] <jedihome> Dr_willis whats wubi ?
[02:45] <BCampbell> DoctaEntropy, then I am at a los..you will need someone more experienced than I, sorry
[02:45] <schristie> Cpudan80: anyway, now you know why I would ask which you meant by server and client
[02:45] <Dr_willis> jedihome,  a way to install  Linux 'inside' windows
[02:45] <rdw200169> jedihome, i think he's wanting the USB install option
[02:45] <Dr_willis> jedihome,  vs. running ubuntu under windows in virtualbox/vmware
[02:45] <Dr_willis> jedihome,  and yes you can make bootable/installable thumbdrives
[02:46] <jedihome> Dr_willis when i pop in the ubuntu cd it gives me the option to 'install inside windows' which i asume just installs it in fat32
[02:46] <DoctaEntropy> BCampbell, thanks for tryin
[02:46] <mrwes> hollenjf: I believe the pvr-150 works
[02:46] <schristie> Cpudan80: but now I that think I know which you're using for what, do you know anything about xauth, or what might cause the error I mentioned?
[02:46] <Dr_willis> jedihome,  incorrect.. has nothing to do with 'in fat32;
[02:46] <blueshiftoverwat> is there a 16 character limit for names in Freenode? Just curious because my username "blueshiftoverwatch" shows up as "blueshiftoverwat"
[02:46] <BCampbell> DoctaEntropy, good luck...guess I got lucky
[02:46] <Dr_willis> jedihome,  it makes a large file.. and installs to 'that' and then sets the boot option  to boot from that file  via WUBI.
[02:46] <jedihome> Dr_willis: ok i just assumed that was the case since they make a point of saying that performance is going to take a hit
[02:46] <DoctaEntropy> Okay, someone else, Hello, I need some help. I tried to mount my external hard drive, and have had some difficulties. It's a western digital 500GB that I formatted to NTFS not too long ago and pretty much all it has is a lot movies. I just installed a dual boot with ubuntu, and wanted to mount it. I created the mount point /media/external1 and then modified /etc/fstab. However, when I try to mount it, it tells me I have to fo
[02:46] <jedihome> ah
[02:46] <Dr_willis> jedihome,  it does.. and i dont suggest using wubi at all
[02:47] <rdw200169> blueshiftoverwat, just use tek_jansen (hahaha)
[02:47] <Dr_willis> !wubi | jedihome
[02:47] <aragorn> can someone send me application for playing mp3 in ubuntu 7.04
[02:47] <Cpudan80> schristie: Im willing to bet that xming on windows is messed up
[02:47] <jedihome> yeah id rather not do it, can you point me in the direction as to how i can do it via usb?
[02:47] <Cpudan80> schristie: unless you disabled xforwarding on your ubuntu box
[02:47] <jedihome> thumbdrive that is
[02:47] <Chubbz> DotcaEntropy, you'll need to mount it via the terminal
[02:47] <Dr_willis> jedihome,  i use 'unetbootin' and a ubuntu.iso file to make a bootable thumbdrive
[02:47] <schristie> Cpudan80: no, x forwarding still works, it just complains first
[02:47] <blueshiftoverwat> oh well I guess people would know me from the forums even though the last 2 letters aren't in my name.
[02:47] <mrwes> aragorn: install VLC
[02:47] <Dr_willis> jedihome,  or boot the live cd. and use the ubuntu Usb-drive tool to make a bootablew thmbdrive with peristant HOME save space
[02:48] <schristie> Cpudan80: do you think that restarting would fix it?
[02:48] <Cpudan80> perhaps
[02:48] <DoctaEntropy> Chubbz, I've tried that
[02:48] <schristie> Cpudan80: oh well, I might as well try it. If it doesn't work, I'll be back in ten minutes ;)
[02:48] <jedihome> Dr_willis: problem is i cant burn the live cd to begin with; otherwise i'd just install it from there
[02:48] <exodus_ms> sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[02:48] <aragorn> mrwes : where i can found it
[02:49] <mrwes> aragorn: open up a terminal - Applications | Accessories | Terminal and type sudo apt-get install vlc
[02:49] <Dr_willis> jedihome,  ive done it via virtualbox. :) but its an annoyance.. dident need to burn either.. I would just use unetbootin. if you just want to Install from usb
[02:49] <DoctaEntropy> Chubbz, I created the /media/external1 directory then edited the /etc/fstab file through the terminal, but when i tried to mount it, it said i should force it, but when i did it failed
[02:49] <Chubbz> what was the error message from the terminal?
[02:50] <Dr_willis> DoctaEntropy,  if its a ntfs -- you may want to have a windows machine scan the disk for errors. and properly shut down
[02:50] <jedihome> yeah Dr_willis im setting up the thumbdrive right now with unetbootin, that was a great tip - thank you
[02:50] <zerwas> Dr_willis> it worked with ffmpeg -loop_input -r 1 -i in.jpg -t 33 -r 24 out.mpg
[02:50] <Szadek> hello all , i have my gstreamer bugged , with cheese i always get too brihgt photos / videos , even changing on gstramer-properties the brightness to a lower lovel , nothing changes in cheese =/ is this a bug ?? it also happens with webkam for example .
[02:51] <DoctaEntropy> Dr_Willis, How should I go about doing that?
[02:51] <Dr_willis> zerwas,  so you found the right hammer. :)
[02:51] <Dr_willis> DoctaEntropy,  plug drive into a windows machine.. use windows to scan the disk.. shut down widows. unplug drive
[02:51] <exodus_ms> DoctaEntropy: Have you tried FUSE or ntfs-3g
[02:52] <Dr_willis> DoctaEntropy,  do NOT use Hibernate/suspend when using shared ntfs filesytems with linux.
[02:52] <DoctaEntropy> Dr_Willis: Which app should i use to scan the disk?
[02:52] <Dr_willis> DoctaEntropy,  you may wish to clarify the  whole problem to the channel  - incase we are missunderstanding the problem
[02:52] <Dr_willis> DoctaEntropy,  windows has a scan disk feature.. somehere.
[02:52] <mrwes> doc: Unetbooin will download the iso file for you?
[02:52] <GodfatherofEire> Any ideas as to why my install is taking MUCH longer than usual? It seems to be slowing down considerably when trying to read the Multimedia controller device
[02:52] <Dr_willis> mrwes,  it can. :)
[02:53] <uriel_> i was just wondering how i could install beryl im runing ununtu 8.04
[02:53] <mrwes> Doc: hrmm...you're using the Linux version I take it?
[02:53] <pyro2927> Anyone know of a program that can log IM conversations on my network?
[02:53] <exodus_ms> DoctaEntropy: Do you want to share files located on a disk formated ntfs or do you also want to be able to read write to ntfs from linux
[02:53] <Dr_willis> mrwes,  i normally use the windows version :)  to make a few live thimb drives...
[02:53] <n2diy> will in an ipod work with Hardy?
[02:53] <DoctaEntropy> exodus_ms: both
[02:53] <mrwes> Doc: looks like a pretty neat app
[02:54] <Cpudan80> n2diy: more or less
[02:54] <jedihome> mrwes yeah im using it right now, really really handy
[02:54] <Chubbz> n2diy, yeah
[02:54] <Dr_willis> mrwes,  yea - it does some few tweaks to some disrots and can break at times.. but its handy
[02:54] <exodus_ms> DoctaEntropy: try FUSE or ntfs-3g
[02:54] <Cpudan80> n2diy: encrypted songs wont work
[02:54] <uriel_> i was just wondering how i could install beryl i'm running ubuntu 8.04?
[02:54] <Dr_willis> ntfs-3g uses fuse I thought.
[02:54] <Cpudan80> n2diy: ie. ones purchased from itunes store with DRM
[02:54] <Tewan> Erm, I keep getting "The Composite extension is not available" when I try to enable Visual Effects. It was working earlier but I enabled Xinerama. Does this break it, or is there some kind of work around I could use?
[02:54] <Cpudan80> !compiz | uriel_
[02:54] <DoctaEntropy> exodus_ms: I am literally a small child who knows nothing, what does that mean?
[02:54] <Dr_willis> uriel_,  beryl is dead. :) use 'compiz-fusion'
[02:54] <mrwes> Doc: even support for puppy 4.0
[02:54] <mrwes> heh
[02:54] <Dr_willis> mrwes,  yep
[02:55] <n2diy> Cpudan80: can I hack one from ebay?
 ok i thaught it was better
[02:55] <Cpudan80> huh?
[02:55] <exodus_ms> DoctaEntropy: ntfs-3g will allow you to mount a ntfs drive on you linux computer and have read write capabilities
[02:55] <Cpudan80> n2diy: why do you need to hack anything?
[02:55] <Dr_willis> uriel_,  aprenrly no one else did. :) it got merged into compiz
[02:55] <mrwes> Doc: so it only installs to a USB drive?
[02:55] <Cpudan80> Dr_willis: im not sure that was the real reason
[02:56] <mrwes> heh...sorry for all the questions
[02:56] <jedihome> mrwes no, any drive
[02:56] <mrwes> ahh.. ok ok
 are there any good programs i should have on this OS?
[02:56] <Cpudan80> Dr_willis: I think they had more manpower/resources as one unit
[02:56] <n2diy> Cpudan80: how can I avoid buying a DRM model?
[02:56] <Dr_willis> mrwes,  it installs to a thumb drive and sets up syslinux.
[02:56] <Cpudan80> n2diy: the songs are what matter - not the ipod itself
[02:56] <jedihome> mrwes though it doesnt install TO a usb drive, i lets you boot from the usb drive to install ubuntu
[02:56] <Dr_willis> Cpudan80,  :) thats always the case.. but it never stops forks  it seems
[02:56] <Dr_willis> uriel_,  deoeds on what you need.
[02:56] <n2diy> Cpudan80: ok, thanks, 73
[02:56] <Cpudan80> n2diy: if you have any non itunes+ music files, they wont play in ubuntu
[02:57] <Cpudan80> unless you remove the DRM
[02:57] <PPKuma> hi, my pc shotdown accidentally and now my USB thumb disk is mounting only in read mode
[02:57] <DoctaEntropy> exodus_ms: i have already set up an internal NTFS drive with read and write capabilities fine. I'm having problems with this specific external NTFS drive
[02:57] <jedihome> Dr_willis: one more quick question - how long does it normally take for this to copy to usb? its been stuck on file #7 for like 4-5 minutes now
[02:57] <mrwes> jedihome: Ok...so you can by pass downloading and burning a CD correct?
[02:57] <jedihome> mrwes correct
[02:57] <exodus_ms> DoctaEntropy: Do you have a dual boot setup
[02:58] <DoctaEntropy> exodus_ms: yes
 idk i know i definately need to know how to install wine and maby some other programs that make the computer look cool
[02:58] <exodus_ms> DoctaEntropy: ok, that internal ntfs drive is mounted and you can access the files
[02:59] <schristie> Cpudan80: well, I'm not so sure now that I didn't have that error message before
[02:59] <DoctaEntropy> exodus_ms: yes
[02:59] <marcel> how can i use dosemu // dos emulator ; ??
[02:59] <exodus_ms> DoctaEntropy: can you write to that disk?
[02:59] <DoctaEntropy> exodus_ms: yes
[02:59] <schristie> Cpudan80: anyway, thanks for listening
[02:59] <Dr_willis> jedihome,  it can take some time.  usb drives canbe slow
[02:59] <Cpudan80> is it fixed?
[03:00] <exodus_ms> DoctaEntropy: pastebin the results of this   sudo fdisk -l
[03:00] <jedihome> Dr_willis thanks so much for all the help
[03:01] <Dr_willis> work time for me. bye all
[03:01] <mrwes> doc: is the development on Unetbootin on going? that is, distro upgrades are added as they become available?
 so u do u know how i cn install wine?
[03:01] <DoctaEntropy> exodus_ms: http://rafb.net/p/mNYvm535.html
[03:02] <DoctaEntropy> exodus_ms: sdc is the drive i'm trying to mount
[03:02] <dreamy> does ubuntu  8.10 has improvements for the radeon 7000 ? (m6 ly)
[03:02] <aragorn> mrwes: i can not install vlc, it say "Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?"
[03:03] <crdlb> dreamy: the radeon M6 has had 3d acceleration in linux forever as it is an r100
[03:03] <crdlb> although that GPU doesn't have much to accelerate :)
[03:03] <mrwes> aragorn: is this a new/fresh install? If so, you need to activate the third party software sources?
[03:04] <dreamy> crdlb: but i get 300 fps ..no mather how i have my xorg.conf
[03:04] <Opiemsith1> I only have sound out of the left channel and it's really quiet. Can it be fixed?
[03:04] <aragorn> mrwes:new install
[03:04] <dreamy> crdlb: with dri .. with no dri  glx.. no glx  or radeon  "  or "ati" etc etc
[03:04] <mrwes> Aragorn: goto System | admin | software sources
[03:04] <aragorn> mrwes: how can i activate the third party software sources?
[03:04] <mrwes> ^^^^^
[03:05] <gloppie> what is udp 42652 ? I am getting hammered
[03:05] <mysticdarkhack> hello all
[03:05] <PPKuma> how can i know where can i mount my USB disk? mount /dev/sd??
[03:05] <mrwes> Aragon: goto the third party sources tab and put a check mark in the two boxes
[03:06] <danopia> quick question, how do i echo the current username in bash (like pwd but for username)
[03:06] <somethingtodo> gloppie:  probably a random port, use wireshark to examine the packets and see what they are.
[03:06] <DoctaEntropy> exodus_ms any luck?
[03:06] <mrwes> PPKuma: mount /dev/sd? /media/disk1 ??
[03:06] <Cpudan80> Anybody know why I can't see any folders on my thumb drive
[03:06] <aragorn> mrwes: after in tab software source...what next step???
[03:06] <gloppie> good idea...brb
[03:06] <mysticdarkhack> I have a sony vaio z, everytime when screensaver is active, it probably went sleep afterward or something, and later it froze. Anyone know a solution to the problem?
[03:06] <mrwes> Aragon: goto the third party sources tab and put a check mark in the two boxes
[03:07] <Cpudan80> Its 4GB FAT32, mounted ok -- ls -la says "32 items" -- but I cant see anything in nautilus ?
[03:07] <Chubbz> @mysticdarkhack reboot
[03:07] <Cpudan80> and it doesnt list the 32 things with the ls either
[03:07] <exodus_ms> DoctaEntropy: One thing I want you to try before we go any further. I assume you are dual booting with windoze and I need you to boot up into windoze for a moment. Turn your computer off, plug in your external hdd boot into windows and do Safely Remove Hardware, unplug and turn computer off. plug drive back in and boot into ubuntu
[03:07] <PPKuma> mrwes: i dont know, should i mount a /dev/ or a /media/
[03:07] <Cpudan80> even if I do the ls as root
[03:07] <mrwes> PPKuma: the /media/disk is the mount point -- that is where the data from the disk will be
[03:07] <DoctaEntropy> exodus_ms: okay, I"ll be back in a few minutes
[03:08] <ezerhoden> danopia: whoami
[03:08] <Cpudan80> It has the used/free space right - but I cant see the files ..
[03:08] <crdlb> dreamy: glxgears is not a benchmark
[03:08] <giacomo_carissim> i seemed to have messed up my grub, how can i see which parition is which?
[03:09] <mysticdarkhack> Chubbz, I tried to reboot but won't let me and since I have to remove power plug and battery.
[03:09] <danopia> ezerhoden, thanks
[03:09] <dreamy> crdlb: ok but the same goes for when playng fligth gear
[03:09] <dreamy> crdlb: americas army and danger deep
[03:09] <Opiemsith1> I only have sound out of the left channel and it's really quiet. help
[03:09] <dreamy> crdlb: (no mather how i have my xorg.conf i always get the same)
[03:10] <crdlb> dreamy: it's an r100
[03:10] <spartacus_> hi
[03:10] <Chubbz> @mysticdarkhack did you try and hold down the power button? That'll usually restart it.
[03:10] <giacomo_carissim> can anyone help me with a grub problem?
[03:10] <mrwes> giacomo_carissim: from a terminal type df
[03:10] <danopia> dreamy, i got a ton of FPS on glxgears :P
[03:10] <dreamy> crdlb: r100 m6 ly "7000"
[03:10] <dreamy> danopia: lol
[03:10] <danopia> dreamy, if you hae a good video card htat can handle millions of polsy, i can link you to a real stress test :P
[03:10] <danopia> polys*
[03:11] <dreamy> danopia: lol
[03:11] <danopia> more like a game engine demo that went wrong.
[03:11] <mysticdarkhack> Chubbz, yeah but the same resault. I wonder if it the battery or sony vaio doesn't like linux
[03:11] <crdlb> dreamy: I've got an M7 which is a rather faster version of the same chip, and I don't try anything more demanding than compiz, neverball, or a quake3 engine game at a low res
[03:11] <gloppie> somethingtodo, type is Unicast to us (0) with source <missing> ....doesn't look good
[03:11] <thehook_> is there a shell command to get x random characters?
[03:11] <giacomo_carissim> mrwes: im using a live cd
[03:11] <Chubbz> @mysticdarkhack Have you updated ACPI?
[03:12] <danopia> dreamy, fyi.... 34126 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6818.849 FPS
[03:12] <mysticdarkhack> Chubbz, update you mean with the ubuntu update manager?
[03:12] <Rustenguin> hello
[03:12] <Rustenguin> does somebody can handle this help?
[03:12] <Rustenguin> http://pastebin.com/m35b154ed
[03:12] <GodfatherofEire> Any ideas as to why my bootup is taking an abnormally long? It seems to be slowing down considerably when trying to read the Multimedia controller device
[03:12] <mysticdarkhack> Chubbz, I did all the update in ubuntu
[03:13] <dreamy> crdlb: what about the dri and glx not being making any difference?
[03:13] <crdlb> dreamy: with a real game or with glxgears?
[03:13] <dreamy> crdlb: or not having any driver at all ..mentioned in xorg.conf  ( no difference )
[03:13] <giacomo_carissim> nvm
[03:13] <dreamy> crdlb: both
[03:13] <crdlb> dreamy: that's autoconfigured now
[03:13] <crdlb> dreamy: are you trying 8.10 now?
[03:13] <albuntu> hi to all. ok for some reason that i dont know i get a license error using icedtea java plugin for firefox so i removed it and i am trying to use sun java plugin but i cant find it in the repos. i am using intrepid 64 bit. anyone that can help ? thank you
[03:14] <gloppie> Could anybody check their firewall for udp 42652 ? I am seeing a bunch of traffic on that one port right now. I need confirmation. Thx
[03:14] <dreamy> crdlb: no
[03:14] <poutine> gloppie, confirmation of what?
[03:14] <CompactDstrxion> albuntu: i dont think there is a 64-bit sun java  plugin
[03:14] <gloppie> Lots of UDP hits on just one port, from a bunch of IPs
[03:14] <gloppie> udp 42652
[03:14] <poutine> gloppie, ok... but you're asking a question
[03:14] <crdlb> dreamy: then run the live cd and run: glxinfo | grep -i "software rasterizer"
[03:15] <poutine> what are you trying to accomplish?
[03:15] <albuntu> CompactDstrxion: ok that solved my problem. i am going to stick with icedtea
[03:15] <CompactDstrxion> np albuntu
[03:15] <crdlb> dreamy: if that returns OpenGL Renderer String: Software Rasterizer, then your 3d acceleration is broken
[03:15] <dreamy> crdlb: to see if 8.10 is better?
[03:15] <dreamy> i quit about 8.10...
[03:15] <gloppie> I would like to know if anybody else sees the traffic I see. I am not trying to accomplish anything else.Thx
[03:15] <somethingtodo> gloppie:  Did you piss off a botnet?
[03:16] <gloppie> nope, I have not IRC since ages...
[03:16] <poutine> gloppie, What makes you think your traffic is indicative of our traffic?
[03:16] <gloppie> 10 years ago lol
[03:16] <gloppie> I want to see if it is global
[03:16] <dreamy> crdlb: its a good idea but my cd is broken.. thanksa
[03:17] <poutine> gloppie, That's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard
[03:17] <poutine> please never ask such a question again
[03:17] <gloppie> I guess I'll just renew DHCP then he
[03:17] <node357> gloppie, to answer your question, no, it is not a default behavior for Ubuntu to have a lot of traffic on that port
[03:18] <crdlb> dreamy: so what OS are you using on it now?
[03:18] <dreamy> crdlb: 8.04
[03:18] <gloppie> I'm in the wrong place. Sorry guys. Thanks
[03:18] <crdlb> dreamy: what does 'glxinfo | grep direct' say?
[03:18]  * gloppie quit
[03:19] <marcel> !info dosemu
[03:19] <dreamy> crdlb: direct rendering: Yes
[03:20] <crdlb> dreamy: so barring any future improvements to the driver's efficiency, it's working as well as it can
[03:20] <dreamy> crdlb: direct rendering .. is it the ultimate test ?
[03:21] <dreamy> crdlb: the "glxinfo"
[03:21] <crdlb> dreamy: in 8.04 and prior, it reliably indicates whether 3d acceleration is enabled (there can be false negatives, but never false positives afaik)
[03:22] <crdlb> in 8.10, it'll always say yes, which is why you have to check for software rasterizer
[03:22] <dreamy> crdlb: ok :S ..
[03:23] <dreamy> crdlb: :S no idea
[03:23] <dreamy> crdlb: can i try removing dri ? it whould give me some clues
[03:24] <dreamy> crdlb: afterwards with the glxgears
[03:25] <kitty_> any suggestion for a ppc box?
[03:25] <crdlb> dreamy: what would that accomplish? DRI is apparently working, but that is not a powerful GPU
[03:26] <dreamy> ok
[03:26] <DoctaEntropy> exodus_ms: I'm in windows right now, and I've encountered some problems 1) during start up, if my external hard drive was powered on, i would get error 17 before i reached the dual boot screen 2) Now that i'm in windows, and have turned my external hard drive back on, it's not being recognized at all by windows
[03:27] <kitty_> Docta, ext2fsd ?
[03:27] <neura> exodus, is your external hard drive recognized under ubuntu?
[03:27] <skydart> I have switched back to the Mac.
[03:28] <Droopsta915> I installed a deb.bin file. It stayed on the dektop, where should I place the file.
[03:28] <DoctaEntropy> neura, I suppose you mean me, yest it is recognized under ubuntu
[03:28] <exodus_ms> DoctaEntropy: the error 17 looks like a grub error...
[03:28] <kitty_> Docta did you format it forext2?
[03:29] <neura> well that's good
[03:29] <DoctaEntropy> exodus_ms: so what should I do?
[03:29] <neura> i am going to look up a thread in the forums
[03:29] <neura> someone had a similar problem
[03:29] <DoctaEntropy> neura, thank you
[03:30] <dreamy> crdlb: how ever i got the rv100 .. just correcting that. not to be mistaken
[03:30] <dreamy> its got plus a "v"
[03:30] <Cpudan80> Hey
[03:30] <thehook_> hi :) is there a shell command to get x random characters?
[03:30] <Cpudan80> I asked my question about a usb thumb drive a while ago - but since nobody said much - I'll ask again
[03:30] <exodus_ms> DoctaEntropy: well, I'm probably going to get in trouble for this, While you are in windoze check your external drive for errors from the command line chkdsk /F
[03:30] <Cpudan80> I have a thumb drive with stuff on it - I plug it in Ubuntu, it appears to mount OK, it says the correct info (ie. 33 files, 500 MB used ....) -- but I can't see anything.
[03:31] <neura> hmm exodus, i've never done that before
[03:31] <Cpudan80> It's a 4GB thumb drive formatted as FAT32
[03:31] <Cpudan80> all help is appreciated
[03:31] <neura> DoctaEntropy, if you decide to do the chkdksk,, make sure to let it run all the way through
[03:31] <galvanize> hi all
[03:31] <dreamy> whatever.. it may mean the same
[03:31] <Hentai> Cpudan80: stupid awnser try chkdsk in windows/
[03:31] <Hentai> ?
[03:32] <plcTowlie> I'm having trouble setting my local internal IP address to be a static value while maintaining the DHCP to set the DNS, is there an easy way to do this?
[03:32] <Cpudan80> Hentai: hrm...
[03:32] <Cpudan80> good idea
[03:32] <exodus_ms> DoctaEntropy: what drive lis your external hdd showing up as
[03:32] <neura> Cpudan, have you looked around your filesystem?
[03:32] <DoctaEntropy> exodus_ms: through DOS right? anyways, i get an error with chkdsk it says: Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts?
[03:32] <neura> specifically perhaps under /media
[03:32] <galvanize> any electrical engineers here?
[03:33] <neura> or /mnt
[03:33] <crdlb> dreamy: yeah, but r100 also describes the series: r100, r200, r300, etc. :)
[03:33] <Cpudan80> neura: oh yeah I mean I know its mounted and everything
[03:33] <dreamy> ok
[03:33] <Cpudan80> it shows up on the desktop
[03:33] <Cpudan80> It just has nothing in there
[03:33] <DoctaEntropy> exodus_ms: uh, the external hdd isn't showing up at all now under windows
[03:33] <neura> o it shows on the desktop
[03:33] <neura> hmm
[03:33] <Cpudan80> very odd
[03:33] <neura> what about if you gksudo nautilus
[03:33] <Cpudan80> well
[03:33] <Cpudan80> I ls'd it as root
[03:33] <Cpudan80> nothing
[03:33] <neura> mmmm
[03:33] <kitty_> thehook_ where do you want your random characters stored?
[03:33] <neura> hmmmmm
[03:34] <Cpudan80> ls -la (as root)
[03:34] <kitty_> doctaentropy www.google.com look for ext2fsd, its a win32 daemon for accessing ext2 partitions
[03:35] <neura> DoctaEntropy, perhaps it would work if you boot into ubuntu, mount the volume, look at a few files, and then unmount it
[03:36] <neura> then unplug it
[03:36] <neura> shut down
[03:36] <neura> boot windows
[03:36] <dreamy> crdlb: i was just reading in the wikipedia that the rv100 had rendering resources removed
[03:36] <neura> and reattach, see if it works
[03:36] <SamIam> Quick question, I had a transfer fail going to be external usb hd, now none of my systems will mount the drive, what to do?
[03:36] <neura> if'n you haven't done that yet
[03:36] <dreamy> crdlb: including pixel-pipeline, HyperZ, e T&L
[03:36] <exodus_ms> neura: have tried that already
[03:37] <neura> hmm
[03:37] <SamIam> is there a way to reset an external usb hd
[03:37] <SamIam> ?
[03:38] <kitty_> yes
[03:38] <SamIam> how?
[03:38] <kitty_> samiam is the "failure" still listed in your dmesg ?
[03:39] <exodus_ms> neura: other than connecting it back to windoze, removing it with sSafely Remove Harder and then doing a chkdsk D: /F /R, then try to mount it in Ubuntu
[03:39] <kitty_> i.e. plug it back in and see what dmesg |tail says after a few seconds
[03:39] <Cadman21> how can I move files with a name like "xxx 1-26" in the command line?
[03:39] <kitty_> cadman21 man mv
[03:39] <plcTowlie> is there a way to force a static ip while still using dhcp? (so the DNS and other settings are set via the dhcp)
[03:40] <itai_michaelson> can anyone help me with basic lamp set up?
[03:40] <Cadman21> Kitty: ok thanks
[03:40] <itai_michaelson> LAMP
[03:40] <Cpudan80> !lamp | itai_michaelson
[03:40] <SamIam> kitty, yes it's there
[03:40] <Mike_92> For some reason Firefox closes on me at random times without warning. I noticed this has been happening more frequently now and I also noticed that it tends to happen when I try to watch videos on YouTube. Can someone help me? I'm using Intrepid.
[03:40] <Talkradio> plcTowlie google dhcp reservations.. nothing more than adding the mac addy of the pc to get the address
[03:40] <kitty_> what is it saying, pastbin it
[03:40] <plcTowlie> Talkradio: my router does not support that
[03:41] <Talkradio> get a new router ;)
[03:41] <neura> Mike_92, any changes recently?
[03:41] <Sam_IRC> Mike_92: that happened to me a while back. I don't remember what fixed it. sorry :(
[03:41] <Hentai> exodus_ms: if you do /r then that implies /f as well, typeing chkdsk /f /r is more then needed
[03:41] <muxpux> hi i accidently deleted /sbin/reboot
[03:41] <plcTowlie> :) would certainly work
[03:41] <muxpux> anyways to get it back
[03:41] <somethingtodo> plcTowlie:  or upgrade the firmware - a lot of consumer routers have much better firmware you can download now.
[03:41] <kitty_> plcTowlie, you can always make a shell script, dhclient ifname, ifconfig ifname ip.address.here .... route ....
[03:41] <Talkradio> why not set statically/
[03:41] <Mike_92> neura: I haven't made any recent changes or downloaded any new plugins recently, however it has been happening for months now.
[03:42] <plcTowlie> somethingtodo: unfortuantely I'm on the latest firmware
[03:42] <muxpux> hi anyways to get reboot command back again?
[03:42] <exodus_ms> Hentai: fix repair, all this windoze talk is making me nauseas :P
[03:42] <jedilappy> hey, i just installed 8.10; but i cant seem to install any additional things; nvidia drivers cant be installed as well as any application i try to install via Add/Remove - i get the following error when adding an application: E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[03:42] <Wiseguy> hey guys, how can install ubuntu without a cd?
[03:42] <Mike_92> Wiseguy: Try wubi
[03:42] <SamIam> http://pastebin.ca/1319229
[03:42] <plcTowlie> Talkradio: I will attempt that again, my last attempt at that gave me intermittent internet access
[03:42] <itai_michaelson> Cpudan80, thanks, i read that, my question is in this command:mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('yourpassword'); do i need to set a special SQL user or my basic Ubuntu user will do?
[03:42] <somethingtodo> plcTowlie:  Will it take dd-wrt?
[03:42] <SamIam> kitty, just pasted
[03:42] <Hentai> exodus_ms: , I meant that putting /f and /r together is useless, if you are gonna do /r it implies /f as well
[03:43] <plcTowlie> its a befw11s4v4
[03:43] <plcTowlie> netgear
[03:43] <Cpudan80> itai_michaelson: umm no -- and you dont even have to do that set password anymore
[03:43] <Cpudan80> itai_michaelson: if you follow the steps -- it will prompt you in a friendly gui for the password
[03:43] <kitty_> ok samiam what happens when you mount it ?
[03:43] <Wiseguy> is wubi pretty good?
[03:43] <plcTowlie> looks like no :(
[03:43] <exodus_ms> Hentai: cool, I think I just spit up a little in my mouth
[03:44] <exodus_ms> Hector: all kidding aside, thanks for your help
[03:44] <somethingtodo> plcTowlie:  Then I'd say spend the $20 on ebay for a new one
[03:44] <Hector> huh?
[03:44] <SamIam> gives an error - Unable to mount the volume 'External'
[03:44] <plcTowlie> ok.  seemed a simple enough thing to do, its just a checkbox in windows :p
[03:44] <plcTowlie> oh well, thank you anyway
[03:44] <Hector> exodus_ms: not me, mate
[03:45] <zgmf-x20a> hey all, anyone using vlc here?  having a bit of an issue
[03:45] <kitty_> try "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /whereveryounormallymountit"
[03:45] <SamIam> DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply:
[03:45] <itai_michaelson> Cpudan80, you are right, it did ask me to set it up...but when i try to set phpbb it says access denied for user @ localhost to database
[03:45] <somethingtodo> plcTowlie?  Wait, what?  Windows would act the same as ubuntu here, perhaps I don't understand your issue.
[03:45] <kitty_> and then dmesg | tail and see if it gives you a better error
[03:45] <exodus_ms> Hector: as anyone told you thank you lately, there you go :P sorry
[03:45] <Jim_Raynor> hi
[03:45] <Cpudan80> itai_michaelson: oh right - you have to set up users for that directly
[03:45] <Jim_Raynor> My system is borked
[03:45] <Jim_Raynor> got error 16
[03:45] <dreamy> crdlb: u there ? .. do u know any stuff about the sis 687 ? dual bridged ... etc..  with 256 mermory
[03:45] <Hector> D:
[03:45] <Cpudan80> itai_michaelson: initially the only user is "root"
[03:45] <SamIam> this happend after a file transfer failed
[03:45] <plcTowlie> windows allows you to force an ip address, but allows the dns information and other settings come through via dhcp
[03:46] <itai_michaelson> Cpudan80, not sure I understand , i ned to set SQL user or Phpb user?
[03:46] <Jim_Raynor> and now, when booting from the live cd, i get disk error c8, ax = 0201 drive 80
[03:46] <dreamy> crdlb: theres something called mirage 3 graphic engine.. im not shure what it is or how its used
[03:46] <Jim_Raynor> when booting from the live and choosing boot first disk
[03:46] <plcTowlie> ubuntu requires you enter all of that information statically, or receive all from dhcp
[03:46] <SamIam> sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /whereveryounormallymountit
[03:46] <Jim_Raynor> regular boot just skips the hd
[03:46] <SamIam> $MFTMirr error: Invalid mft record for '$MFT'
[03:46] <itai_michaelson> Cpudan80, look : http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=98vr5y&s=5
[03:46] <Cpudan80> itai_michaelson: PHPBB is something entirely different. Initially the only user you have for mysql is root
[03:47] <SamIam> telling me to boot into windows twice
[03:47] <SamIam> run chkdsk etc etc
[03:47] <kitty_> yeah, have you tried doing that:
[03:47] <SamIam> I don't have a windows box
[03:47] <Cpudan80> itai_michaelson: if all you did was follow the LAMP instructions, you havent done enough to set up PHPBB
[03:47] <somethingtodo> plcTowlie:   Oh!   http://expert.mandriva.com/question/10073
[03:47] <Cpudan80> itai_michaelson: you have to 1) add a user to mySQL for PHPBB 2) Add a database for that user
[03:47] <kitty_> ok, makes me ask why you formated for ntfs then but anyways, lemme look a sec
[03:47] <kek> How do I make a .pem file for use with dovecot? I'm trying to make a self-signed certificate like in https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/certificates-and-security.html
[03:48] <kek> But I don't get any .pem file
[03:48] <Cpudan80> itai_michaelson: the easiest way to do this is "phpmyadmin" -- as described in the lamp doc I sent you
[03:48] <mlLK> What file do I need to edit for running startup scripts?
[03:48] <Cpudan80> for your account only?
[03:48] <zgmf-x20a> hey all, anyone using vlc here?  having a bit of an issue
[03:48] <mlLK> Yes.
[03:48] <Cpudan80> easiest thing to do would be to edit .bashrc
[03:48] <itai_michaelson> Cpudan80, ok, i will try phpadmin ,thanks
[03:48] <mlLK> ~/.bashrc?
[03:48] <SamIam> it was working until the tranfer failed somehow, and since then won't mount
[03:48] <kitty_> http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download
[03:48] <plcTowlie> somethingtodo: !! that looks promising
[03:49] <mlLK> Cpudan80, how about for something that needs sudo?
[03:49] <kitty_> you can try that application its what i ended up having to use on a hard disk last time i couldn't mount it from linux and windows was two much of a whore to work either
[03:50] <Enissay> My firefox taskbar  disappeared can't minimize nor maximize the window.... any idea?
[03:50] <Jim_Raynor> so... no suggestions or help?
[03:50] <Cpudan80> mlLK: yes and if it needs sudo then its easiest to add it to the system --> prefs --> sessions
[03:50] <zgmf-x20a> hey all, anyone using vlc here?  having an issue.  i tried to install a skin, worked fine, but after restart it always asks me for the skin file.  if i select it again, it just shuts down.  where is the installation folder for vlc??
[03:50] <SamIam> lol - thanks, will try that - it doesn't wipe anything does it?
[03:50] <Cpudan80> Enissay: press F11
[03:51] <kitty_> only if you tell it to
[03:51] <kitty_> :D
[03:51] <Newfie_rich> Hey all, just wondering if you know if there is a program like Matlab or Mable for linux
[03:51] <SamIam> kk - :) - thanks!
[03:51] <meoblast001> hi i'm gonna purposelyl ask a question no one can help me with
[03:51] <kitty_> my advice is to go slow through the menus cause you can hit enter too many times and skip a menu while the program reads from your disk
[03:51] <exodus_ms> neura: pm ?
[03:51] <SamIam> kk
[03:51] <plcTowlie> Newfie_rich:  try scilab, its very much like matlab
[03:51] <dreamy> crdlb: u there ?
[03:51] <meoblast001> my system finally booted after countless failed POST attempts... when it did, my kernel paniced.. i'm assuming it's nVidias fault
[03:52] <Enissay> Cpudan80: f11 ==>full screen mode+f11 ==>back to a window without taskbar xD
[03:52] <Newfie_rich> plcTowlie: Thank you very much
[03:52] <ezerhoden> mlLK: /etc/rc.local is that what you are looking for?
[03:52]  * FireFox is not an expert at firefox, i just use the name. (for anyone who noticed me) ;)
[03:53] <mlLK> ezerhoden, I need to simply chmod a driver each time before running this application.
[03:53] <mlLK> ezerhoden, just looking for the obvious way to automate this step.
[03:54] <RONALDO_gOAL> goooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOoooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooOOOOOOOooooOOOOOooooOOOOOOOOOOOOoooOOOOOOOOOOooooaL
[03:54] <FireFox> 0_o lol
[03:54] <calliope> ok im now in 7.10 and so it is time to upgrade to 8.04 and then 8.10
[03:55] <itai_michaelson> Cpudan80, erm..which user/psswd should i use for phpmyadmin?
[03:55] <Cpudan80> itai_michaelson: the initial login is root with the password you set before
[03:55] <galvanize> calliope: I would recommend that. Intrepid is great!
[03:55] <itai_michaelson> Cpudan80, thanks
[03:56] <zgmf-x20a> hey all, anyone using vlc here?  having an issue.  i tried to install a skin, worked fine, but after restart it always asks me for the skin file.  if i select it again, it just shuts down.  where is the installation folder for vlc??
[03:56] <jedimindlappy> hey guys, fresh install of 8.10 - i cant seem to enable nvidia drivers; it just says 'downloading and installing driver' and sits at 0% - any ideas?
[03:57] <calliope> can I upgrade direct from 7.10 to 8.10 or do i have to do two upgrades
[03:57] <itai_michaelson> Cpudan80, now i need to create a phpbb user + database, correct?
[03:58] <TheGrid> g'day all
[03:59] <Cpudan80> itai_michaelson: yes
[03:59] <cdenny> is there a ram usage monitor/logger available for linux?
[04:00] <qcjn> hi, how can i make application start at start up of ubuntu ? like gnome do & avant window manager
[04:00] <zgmf-x20a> hey all, anyone using vlc here?  having an issue.  i tried to install a skin, worked fine, but after restart it always asks me for the skin file.  if i select it again, it just shuts down.  where is the installation folder for vlc??
[04:00] <tj83> !realtek
[04:01] <brotherhand> what editor do I use to edit /proc/interrupts?
[04:01] <irvingpop> you cannot edit /proc/interrupts
[04:01]  * FireFox starts mesing around with ubuntu jaunty armel on his Nokia N800
[04:01] <Cpudan80> zgmf-x20a: vlc is kinda all over
[04:01] <brotherhand> oh
[04:01] <Cpudan80> zgmf-x20a: /usr/lib/vlc for one
[04:02] <irvingpop> brotherhand:  why would you want to?
[04:02] <KujiUn> I want Vuze to shut down fully before the system shuts down. Is there anyway to configure the system to do that?
[04:02] <itai_michaelson> Cpudan80, can i just name the user phpbb?
[04:02] <Cpudan80> zgmf-x20a: also /usr/share/vlc
[04:02] <Cpudan80> itai_michaelson: sure
[04:03] <irvingpop> '
[04:03] <Cpudan80> zgmf-x20a: the actual executable thing is in /usr/bin/vlc
[04:03] <irvingpop> that interrupts file is basically a statistical listing of which devices have generated how many interrupts
[04:04] <itai_michaelson> Cpudan80, it asked me to create a psswd for new user , but there is also a password "generate" part, what is that all about?
[04:04] <Cpudan80> itai_michaelson: if you want to set it yourself do it - if you want to get a random one from the computer, push generate
[04:04] <Cpudan80> I suggest setting it yourself :-)
[04:04] <irvingpop> I have a possibly silly deb/apt question regarding dependencies
[04:04] <Enissay> I installed a new theme and apply changes... it works xD..... thks for help
[04:04] <kek> too bad https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/certificates-and-security.html is not proofread. "Now simply configure any applications, with the ability to use public-key cryptography, to use the certificate and key files. For example, Apache can provide HTTPS, Dovecot can provide IMAPS and POP3S, etc." - not true.
[04:04] <itai_michaelson> Cpudan80, of course... thanks
[04:05] <Cpudan80> Unless you fancy 1D87FZZ8o3 as the password
[04:05] <Cpudan80> oh wait - thats my password!
[04:05]  * Cpudan80 hides
[04:05] <cdenny> I currently have 2gb for ubuntu, would 4gb make improvement?
[04:05] <cdenny> I use gimp
[04:05] <Cpudan80> not unless you switch to 64 bit
[04:05] <zgmf-x20a> Cpudan80: hey thanks for the help, i figured out  a nice work around just now, but will keep that in mind ^_^
[04:05] <zgmf-x20a> thanks for the help!
[04:05] <cdenny> i am 64-bit
[04:05] <Cpudan80> then possibly
[04:06] <mewshi> hi :)
[04:06] <itai_michaelson> Cpudan80, under Global privilages I should probably "check all" , right?
[04:06] <cdenny> problem is, with all the apps open it still only uses 600mb of ram (blender, cinlerra, etc)
[04:06] <Cpudan80> itai_michaelson: ummm no
[04:06] <Phantomime> I can't get internet with ubuntu. Help...
[04:06] <cdenny> why does ubuntu have to be so good?
[04:06] <Cpudan80> itai_michaelson: you only want it to have rights on the phpbb database
[04:06] <L|nuxPS2> sorry to bother, but i have a script that calls on truecrypt which has to be run as root, i added it to sudoers but the resulting file it creates does not give others read access, is there a way to change this without chmod'ing
[04:06] <Cpudan80> itai_michaelson: if you give it global privs, you effective make it root
[04:06] <Cpudan80> phpbb is not very secure
[04:06] <Cpudan80> I would not want to give it root
[04:07] <Cpudan80> But you might! Dont let me stop you!
[04:07] <TheGrid> im look for good linux shell use test my server how tell me one ?
[04:07] <Cpudan80> L|nuxPS2: without chmoding ?
[04:07] <Cpudan80> Why is chmoding a problem ?
[04:07] <Cpudan80> TheGrid: BASH is the standard shell
[04:07] <L|nuxPS2> its being called from a php script on my web server
[04:07] <Cpudan80> But real men use FISH!
[04:08] <Cpudan80> L|nuxPS2: so?
[04:08] <ANTRat> fish://
[04:08] <Cpudan80> L|nuxPS2: PHP can exec terminal level commands
[04:08] <L|nuxPS2> i would have to sudo chmod but the www-data user cant do that
[04:08] <L|nuxPS2> right, but not with sudo unless i specify the password
[04:08] <L|nuxPS2> which i don't want in my actual script
[04:08] <L|nuxPS2> for security
[04:08] <Cpudan80> so this PHP scripts creates a file ?
[04:09] <L|nuxPS2> yeah
[04:09] <Cpudan80> but it writes it as root instead of www-user or whatever?
[04:09] <L|nuxPS2> ya
[04:09] <itai_michaelson> Cpudan80, http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=1gkphv&s=5  , so "which options are best?
[04:09] <irvingpop> I forced the install of a package that depends on libapache2-mod-php5, which depends on apache2-mpm-prefork.   I run my webserver with apache2-mpm-worker and FastCGI, and don't want to switch back to prefork.    I forced install the package,  but now I keep getting errors that I need to run "apt-get install -f".    If I run that,  it says:   8:02pm.www ~# apt-get -f install
[04:09] <irvingpop> Reading package lists... Done
[04:09] <irvingpop> Building dependency tree
[04:09] <irvingpop> Reading state information... Done
[04:09] <FloodBot1> irvingpop: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:09] <Jim_Raynor> ok... Now, i believe in Demons
[04:10] <Cpudan80> itai_michaelson: hit uncheck all and leave the middle radio selected
[04:10] <Jim_Raynor> or fairies or gnomes... any tiny being that screws up with your crap
[04:10] <Cpudan80> L|nuxPS2: hrm
[04:10] <L|nuxPS2> could i possibly add to sudoers only the ability to chmod within a certain directory?
[04:11] <itai_michaelson> Cpudan80, middle radio?
[04:11] <Jim_Raynor> My hd was failing, wasn't booting and didn't even loaded with the Live CD
[04:11] <Cpudan80> itai_michaelson: "created DB with same name ..."
[04:11] <irvingpop> anyone?   what can I do to break the dependencies?
[04:11] <itai_michaelson> Cpudan80, thanks!
[04:11] <Phantomime> I am trying to get the internet working on ubuntu, but I can't do it. I have a wireless pci card (hardware) installed in my pc. Is there a way that I can set it up so that it recognizes the hardware and recognizes the wireless network?
[04:11] <L|nuxPS2> that way the script can call on sudo to chmod but it can only do it within the file directory - that way I don't have a massive security hole
[04:11] <Jim_Raynor> I disassembled the bloody laptop, rebuilt it and somehow, errors are gone and the system is snappier
[04:11] <Cpudan80> L|nuxPS2: maybe if you use a different method of writing out the file initially
[04:11] <Jim_Raynor> WTF!?
[04:11] <ein_> 6+
[04:11] <ein_> +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[04:12] <L|nuxPS2> don't think there is a way - the script calls on truecrypt to create a volume, mount it, then place the files the user has selected into the volume, unmounts it, then lets the user download the truecrypt file
[04:12] <Jim_Raynor> WHY ON EARTH WOULD MY LAPTOP BECOMES FASTER JUST BY EXTRACTING THE BLOODY HD AND MEMORY CHIPS AND PUTTING THEM BACK ON!!?
[04:12] <Jim_Raynor> Midgets, gnomes or fairies... only explanation
[04:12] <Phantomime> stim packs?
[04:12] <Cpudan80> !ohmy | Jim_Raynor
[04:13] <L|nuxPS2> unless i just made it a straight up bash script and put the chmod in there and then sudoer that bash script
[04:13] <L|nuxPS2> but i want a way within php... :(
[04:13] <icesword> hey
[04:13] <itai_michaelson> Cpudan80, i have heard that phpbb is insecure ,what can i do to make it more secure? i am planning to run a bbs on my pc for my friends ,no domain name juts http:ip.address/forum
[04:13] <Cpudan80> L|nuxPS2: you can set the UID of a PHP script
[04:13] <Jim_Raynor> seems like i kicked out some sort of windows dwarf from my laptop
[04:13] <icesword> can I upgrade from 7.04 to 8.04? how
[04:13] <L|nuxPS2> howso?... link?
[04:13] <icesword> Cpudan80, err. heh
[04:13] <Cpudan80> itai_michaelson: I dunno - I dont use phpbb much
[04:14] <Cpudan80> icesword: yes you can
[04:14] <Cpudan80> icesword: that is supported
[04:14] <Jim_Raynor> I SWEAR to Buddha, that I was having boot errors 15 minutes ago...
[04:14] <icesword> Cpudan80, a link
[04:14] <Jim_Raynor> and now, everything seems better than new...
[04:14] <Jim_Raynor> why???
[04:14] <Cpudan80> L|nuxPS2: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.posix-setuid.php
[04:14] <Cpudan80> L|nuxPS2: remember to set it back
[04:14] <L|nuxPS2> thx
[04:15] <Cpudan80> L|nuxPS2: #php might shed some more light on it
[04:16] <Cpudan80> They're on freenode too :-)

[04:17] <Peddy> Cpudan80, that's the only one, right? Just checking :)
[04:17] <Cpudan80> Flannel: I didnt want to hit the scary red button! I sware I didn't!
[04:17] <Cpudan80> Peddy: looks like it
[04:18] <Peddy> srx2002, /usr/bin, for amsn.
[04:18] <Jim_Raynor> Seriously guys, there should be a logical explanation...
[04:18] <Peddy> thenks Cpudan80
[04:18] <Peddy> thanks*
[04:18] <srx2002> different for each program?
[04:18] <Jim_Raynor> how can I go from boot errors and BIOS skipping HD to better performance than 2 days ago?
[04:18] <Peddy> srx2002, well, most programs installed from the ubuntu add/remove or synpatic or apt-get are stored in /usr/bin. If you compile your own programs, they're in /usr/local/bin.
[04:18] <PB_G3> Hey guys I need help with my ORiNOCO Silver 802.11b WiFi card in ubuntu 8.04 on a PB G3
[04:19] <Jim_Raynor> in 15 minutes? Only by disassembling and reassembling the laptop?
[04:19] <icesword> Flannel, hey? how do I upgrade  from 7.04 to 8.10? 7.04>7.10>8.04>8.10? do I have to do this? how long will that take? thanks
[04:19] <CareBear\> Jim_Raynor : sounds like a glitch in the hd connector
[04:19] <srx2002> peddy: ok...how would I know where each one is located for any program??  is there a command I can use to check?
[04:19] <Cpudan80> icesword: go from 7.04 --> 8.04 --> 8.10
[04:19] <Cpudan80> icesword: you can go directly from X --> 8.04
[04:19] <Flannel> icesword: You have to upgrade one at a time, yes
[04:20] <Flannel> Cpudan80: No, you can't
[04:20] <Cpudan80> you cant?
[04:20] <Flannel> Cpudan80: Only 6.06 to 8.04
[04:20] <Jim_Raynor> it was a fairy, dude
[04:20] <Cpudan80> oh
[04:20] <Cpudan80> pffft
[04:20] <Peddy> srx2002, /usr/local/sbin, /usr/local/bin, /usr/sbin, /usr/bin, /sbin, /bin, /usr/games are where they're stored.
[04:20] <Cpudan80> that sucks
[04:20] <FloodBot1> Cpudan80: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:20] <icesword> Flannel, hmm how long will it take
[04:20] <Jim_Raynor> she was eating all my performance...
[04:20] <Cpudan80> argh FloodBot1 !
[04:20] <icesword> Cpudan80, thanks, Flannel
[04:20] <Flannel> icesword: Depends on your connection.  You'll have to download ~600MB each upgrade
[04:21] <Peddy> srx2002, Sorry, there is definitely a command, but I've forgotten it. Does anyone else know how to determine where an executable in $PATH is located?
[04:21] <srx2002> is there a command to check...for example I wanna know where " firefox " is located?
[04:21] <Peddy> srx2002, firefox is /usr/bin by default.
[04:21] <icesword> holy.... hahaha, that sucks. guess I can downgrade to 6.06... lol
[04:22] <Peddy> srx2002, hang on, I'll have it for you in a sec
[04:22] <srx2002> Peddy: ok thanks
[04:22] <Guest56803> hello
[04:23] <Peddy> srx2002, the command is "type -p firefox"
[04:23] <linuxman410> guest56803 hello
[04:23] <Peddy> srx2002, replace firefox with any program you want.
[04:23] <srx2002> perfect thank you
[04:23] <Peddy> :)
[04:23] <PB_G3> mr_polite, hey MR_POLITE
[04:23] <mapez> net
[04:23] <zonyl> Does anyone have some general tips to save battery power on a laptop?  ( services that dont need to run , window manager that is better, etc)
[04:24] <Guest56803> could someone point me in a right direction. I am a new to Ubuntu. My wireless connection was working until i installed updates. Now each time i try to connect i get authentication screen asking me to re-enter password. Could someone point me in the right direction plz
[04:24] <mr_polite> zonyl: turn your screen brightness down, turn off wireless radios you aren't using.
[04:24] <Hilikus> hey guys
[04:24] <stephen> Hey Hilikus
[04:24] <PB_G3> Hey guys I need help with my ORiNOCO Silver 802.11b WiFi card in ubuntu 8.04 on a PB G3
[04:25] <Hilikus> what can i use to burn a dvd? something with a GUI please
[04:25] <PB_G3> K3B
[04:25] <jedimindlappy> msttcorefonts doesnt offer Tahoma and a couple of other fonts, i vaguely remember there being another package that does though - can anyone refresh my memory real quick?
[04:25] <Peddy> Hilikus, there is a tool included from 8.04 onwards called 'Brasero'
[04:25] <Hilikus> i mean, files to a dvd, not actually a movie
[04:25] <mr_polite> just dropping in to let everyone i was speaking to earlier know that ive successfully "downgraded" back to 8.04.
[04:25] <PB_G3> Hilikus, K3B!
[04:25] <Peddy> Hilikus, Brasero is the easiest to use IMO.
[04:25] <scunizi> Hilikus, k3b for all of the above
[04:25] <jedimindlappy> ]fonts
[04:26] <dport> I have a quick question, I just started using Ubuntu and i've got a slight grip on things so far. But i'm trying to get adobe to update
[04:26] <mr_polite> another vote for k3b
[04:26] <dport> How do I go about doing that?
[04:26] <dport> I already downloaded it
[04:26] <[Arch_Slax]Draco> K3B
[04:26] <scunizi> dport, adobe? what reader?
[04:26] <plcTowlie> dport, try the medibuntu repositry?
[04:26] <Hilikus> i guess i'll give k3b a try
[04:26] <srx2002> Peddy: If I wanted to prevent someone from using for example MSN while I'm away from my PC...is there a command for that?
[04:26]  * Peddy doesn't user brasero, anyway. :D
[04:26] <Hilikus> thanks guys
[04:26] <Guest56803> i do not think i have wireless radios - it is a linksys wireless card i put in PCMCI port
[04:26] <Peddy> use*
[04:26] <usser> dport: what adobe, flashplayer? what version of ubuntu you are using?
[04:27] <scunizi> Guest56803, that's a wireless radio
[04:27] <bullgard4> What is meant by 'raw Ethernet'?
[04:27] <Peddy> srx2002, as in block Pidgin from being used entirely?
[04:27] <Guest56803> *radios
[04:27] <vegombrei> Guest56803: why dont you go thru the properties and see if theres something you can do there in its options
[04:27] <Peddy> srx2002, block pidgin from being used at a certain time*
[04:28] <sleepy_cat> Hi.. I want to upgrade from 8.04 LTS to 8.10
[04:28] <sleepy_cat> how should i proceed
[04:28] <srx2002> no..say for example I only want myself to access a progam and nooone else
[04:28] <Guest56803> lol
[04:28] <Flannel> sleepy_cat: You need to go to software sources and select "Every release" (as opposed to just LTS) from one of the tabs
[04:28] <gerber> can i install ubuntu on dell Computer /
[04:28] <sleepy_cat> thts the problem i cant find software sources
[04:28] <gerber> can i install ubuntu on dell Computer /
[04:28] <sleepy_cat> in  SYstem>administration
[04:29] <srx2002> I used chmod 000 to block certain files ( as root ) and then when I want to view/read those files I go back and do chmod 775 filename.....is there another way?
[04:29] <scunizi> gerber, yes.. most .. I'm running it on a vostro 1400 laptop
[04:29] <scunizi> gerber, yes.. most .. I'm running it on a vostro 1400 laptop
[04:29] <Peddy> srx2002, do you mean programs or files?
[04:29] <gerber> ci have sc400
[04:29] <sleepy_cat> Flannel: the problem is that i cant find software sources in  System->administration
[04:30] <scunizi> gerber, if you can run the live cd then you should be able to install it.
[04:30] <Guest56803> would anyone plz point me in the right direction to fix wireless problem i have
[04:30] <srx2002> Programs and file would be the same?
[04:30] <ryanprior> How do I tell a process which CPU core (s) to run on?
[04:30] <scunizi> !wireless | Guest56803
[04:30] <gerber> live cd work good, but when i boot can't find it
[04:30] <Guest56803> they did not help
[04:31] <jedimindlappy> how do i stop ubuntu from dimming the display when i stop typing for 30 seconds lol
[04:31] <Guest56803> i already went through them
[04:31] <marryjane> wifi 5300 intel
[04:31] <sleepy_cat> nickrud: hi
[04:31] <jedimindlappy> nevermind found it
[04:31] <icesword> Flannel, it seems I have to bother with install from windows
[04:31] <Guest56803> my wireless was workingfing tine until i installed the updates
[04:31] <Peddy> srx2002, you could just make a seperate account for your kids/siblings/parents that doesn't have permission to access those files. Fast user switching is really fast, and you can stay logged in.
[04:31] <gerber> i install it on win xp
[04:31] <Guest56803> now i keep getting authentication request
[04:31] <marryjane> i'm ThinkPan x200 (intel wifi 5100) nice conncetion
[04:32] <Guest56803> each time i reenter password is comes back to ask again
[04:32] <sleepy_cat> nickrud: I found the solutio to the problem which i had earlier regarding the hanging of the system... it was tht the X86 board does not support the graphics
[04:32] <srx2002> Peddy: good idea...so chmod 000 and 775 won't work for programs i guess
[04:32] <sleepy_cat> there is a problem there
[04:32] <sleepy_cat> some bug
[04:32] <sleepy_cat> so we need to disable the graphocs options there
[04:32] <sleepy_cat> then it works perfectly
[04:32] <sleepy_cat> otherwise it would not load
[04:33] <Peddy> srx2002, yes, it would, you just chmod the /usr/bin... file
[04:33] <sleepy_cat> as far as the problem was.. First the screen loaded asked for username and password and then blank screen with the feasibility to hover around with the mouse
[04:33] <srx2002> ok
[04:33] <dawildtwig> question for you guys is it possible to run applications using ssh
[04:33] <scunizi> !enter | sleepy_cat
[04:33] <dawildtwig> like .exe applications?
[04:33] <srx2002> do I do chmod....or chmod 000
[04:33] <marryjane> no
[04:33] <sleepy_cat> now its working fine
[04:33] <sleepy_cat> ok ubottu
[04:34] <dawildtwig> marryjane: were you referring to my question or the one from srx?
[04:34] <marryjane> yes
[04:34] <Peddy> srx2002, I don't know the ids of your users, you can do 'sudo nautilus /usr/bin', then right-click on the programs, and set which users can access it. But you should make a new account first.
[04:34] <marryjane> sure
[04:34] <sleepy_cat> Hi.. I want to upgrade from 8.04 LTS to 8.10  the problem is that i cant find software sources in  System->administration
[04:34] <dawildtwig> is that a yes to me marryjane?
[04:34] <srx2002> ok. perfect
[04:34] <icesword> !upgrade
[04:34] <franki^> dawildtwig: yes, it is possible to run applications using ssh
[04:34] <marryjane> ok
[04:34] <biyinglei> hello
[04:34] <marryjane> hi
[04:35] <dawildtwig> franki, how do you do it?
[04:35] <franki^> dawildtwig: just like you usually would from the command line
[04:35] <franki^> dawildtwig: unless i'm misunderstanding the question?
[04:35] <dawildtwig> i'm in the windows envioronment now and i try just typing like program.exe in the command prompt and it doesn't work
[04:35] <biyinglei> how to  install scim in ubuntu
[04:35] <biyinglei> ?
[04:36] <biyinglei> thanks
[04:36] <franki^> dawildtwig: ah, i know nothing about windows.. are you sshing into an ubuntu machine?
[04:36] <biyinglei> hi
[04:36] <dawildtwig> franki, yes as well as a windows to
[04:36] <biyinglei> hi
[04:36] <scunizi> I've always wondered.. what exactly is scim and why would a person need/want to use it.??
[04:36] <redvamp128> !fr | adye
[04:37] <itai_michaelson> quick question - i have phpbb setup with LAMP, how come when someone acceses my phpbb board it doesn't register on apache2 log ? should i look for it somewhere else?
[04:37] <zgmf-x20a> hello again all.  does anyone know where the default skin file for VLC is located?
[04:37] <dawildtwig> franki, i know with the ubuntu you would use the -x bracket for the openssh session to pass the x to the current screen but does that work if the remote computer is windows and host is ubuntu
[04:37] <scunizi> zgmf-x20a, probably in ~/.vlc or something similar
[04:37] <jansen> biyinglei: sudo apt-get install scim
[04:37] <sleepy_cat> ubottu: the release notes do not offer much help
[04:38] <franki^> dawildtwig: i'm sorry, i have no experience with windows machines at all :(
[04:38] <sleepy_cat> Hi.. I want to upgrade from 8.04 LTS to 8.10  the problem is that i cant find software sources in  System->administration
[04:38] <biyinglei> thanks jansen
[04:38] <dawildtwig> frank, ok that you for your help though
[04:38] <Guest56803> i can anyone help me plz
[04:38] <Flannel> sleepy_cat: Try accessing it through Synaptic
[04:38] <scunizi> dawildtwig, probably not since windows doesn't run x
[04:39] <zgmf-x20a> scunizi: ok, how would i get there trhu a file browser.  i recently treid to change the vlc skin, NIGHTMARE... never again..
[04:39] <sleepy_cat> Flannel how?
[04:39] <dawildtwig> scunizi, so in a windows to windows using openssh would it work or do you think not?
[04:39] <scunizi> zgmf-x20a, let me check if that is the location .. what's the default skin called?
[04:39] <Flannel> sleepy_cat: Open up synaptic, and one of the items in the menu will get you to a repository/etc screen
[04:40] <zgmf-x20a> scunizi: i have no idea, im looking for it too....
[04:40] <dawildtwig> scunizi, i'm really trying to figure out the advantages of using ssh at all if everything is from command just turns it all into a pain in the ass if you know what i mean
[04:40] <scunizi> dawildtwig, I son't think that openssh actually runs on windows.. other programs do the ssh thing .
[04:40] <scunizi> dawildtwig, ssh is for privacy and protection
[04:41] <sleepy_cat> ?
[04:42] <sleepy_cat> Flannel: i didnt get u properly
[04:42] <scunizi> zgmf-x20a, /usr/share/vlc/skins2 looks to be the location of the skins.. command line was faster finding it.. (sudo updatedb  ... locate vlc)
[04:42] <zgmf-x20a> scunizi: i found it.... but it wont change to it.... this is a night mare... honestly... i hate the author who made this skin... HATE.  i have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, but its like perm messed up now
[04:43] <zgmf-x20a> scunizi: lol, same time
[04:43] <Flannel> sleepy_cat: Open up synaptic, in one of the menus theres an item to modify the repositories.  I believe that opens up software sources.
[04:43] <bukowski> hi.
[04:44] <bukowski> i'm trying to configure compiz through compiz manager but i cant get out what this super key means.
[04:44] <scunizi> zgmf-x20a, I've never messed with skins .. with vlc I'm either listening or watching not examining the boarder.. but I know what you mean about look and feel..
[04:44] <jansen> bukowski: super key usually refers to the "windows" key on your keyboard.
[04:44] <sleepy_cat> Flannel:  I found repository
[04:45] <sleepy_cat> in the menu
[04:45] <sleepy_cat> but it has only deb
[04:45] <sleepy_cat> dev-src
[04:45] <bukowski> oh thnx
[04:45] <zgmf-x20a> scunizi: dude... NEVER add a skin... this has become a night mare
[04:45] <sleepy_cat> and most of them are ticked the unticked ones cant be ticked .. they r frozen elements (cant access them)
[04:45] <tanath> anyone recently try to update clam virus defs via clamtk? doesn't work for me...
[04:45] <CareBear\> thanks for the help.
[04:46] <scunizi> zgmf-x20a, the location it goes is part of root. .you might need to change the permissions of the file.
[04:46] <zgmf-x20a> is there a way i can COMPLETELY uninstall vlc, like, EVERYTHING, so it has no memory it was ever installed, so when i install again it will be fine
[04:46] <phorensic3> zgmf-x20a: skin for what?
ISO_Prev_Group <- and what does this stand for?
[04:47] <tanath> zgmf-x20a, 'sudo aptitude purge vlc' and remove/rename ~/.vlc/
[04:47] <scunizi> phorensic3, zgmf-x20a is trying to change the skin for vlc
[04:47] <phorensic3> zgmf-x20a: ahh you got the ol vlc skin is stuck and ruins the play list deal?
[04:47] <Flannel> sleepy_cat: Alright, hit alt-f2, then type software-properties-gtk and hit enter, that should bring it up
[04:47] <sleepy_cat> Flannel: repository is there in the setting menu
[04:47] <phorensic3> scunizi: Yes I have the same issue
[04:47] <phorensic3> scunizi: I think it must be a certain skin that screws it up
[04:47] <jansen> zgmf-x20a: have you tried editing the file ~/vlc/vlcrc? look for a section called "skins2" and comment out every line in that section.
[04:47] <progC> how can you increase the stack space on visual studio?
[04:48] <Bitfish> progC, this is #ubuntu, not ##windows
[04:48] <Flannel> progC: this is #ubuntu, you may be looking for ##windows, or... some other channel (not the C or C++ channel, since thats IDE specfic)
[04:48] <tanath> anyone else find they can't update virus definitions in clamtk?
[04:48] <zgmf-x20a> phorensic3: YES!  its a nightmare... installled this very nice skin, but, features missing, try to get back, and night mare.  wont let me, and when i move the new skin file, always has an error and wont open the skin, but an x11 video player window opens and plays, with no actual playtime bar or anything
[04:49] <zgmf-x20a> its so wack.... im going to try one more thing before complete annhilation
[04:49] <phorensic3> zgmf-x20a: Is it a windows look alike skin?
[04:49] <zgmf-x20a> eww
[04:49] <zgmf-x20a> no.
[04:49] <zgmf-x20a> windoze..... ewww
[04:49] <zgmf-x20a> lol
[04:49] <tanath> phorensic3, it's doubtful you'll need to reinstall it. removing or renaming your ~/.vlc folder should do the trick
[04:50] <phorensic3> zgmf-x20a: ahh crap the problem is on my laptop not this pc
[04:50] <zgmf-x20a> it just went so nice with my blackish motif going on here.  just installed cairodock, liking it, and tried to have it go along with the environment
[04:50] <sleepy_cat> Flannel: nope tht too gives errir
[04:50] <zgmf-x20a> but alas.... night mare
[04:50] <Flannel> sleepy_cat: What error?
[04:50] <sleepy_cat> error.. maybe its not there
[04:50] <tanath> zgmf-x20a, , it's doubtful you'll need to reinstall it. removing or renaming your ~/.vlc folder should do the trick
[04:50] <tanath> phorensic3, sorry, not you
[04:50] <Flannel> sleepy_cat: Are you running Ubuntu? or Xubuntu? or Kubuntu or what?
[04:50] <sleepy_cat> could not open location
[04:50] <sleepy_cat> file://home/ something someting
[04:50] <phorensic3> tanath: I tried to reinstall and it returned to badness on reinstall, Im guessing thats cause the config files still existed on my laptop even though did a --purge
[04:51] <sleepy_cat> Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
[04:51] <phorensic3> tanath: Its cool, I have a similar issue with vlc
[04:51] <Flannel> sleepy_cat: Alright, something's messed up then.  You can try upgrading via some of the methods on this page
[04:51] <Flannel> !upgrade | sleepy_cat
[04:51] <tanath> phorensic3, ah. well, did you install the skin as a package?
[04:51] <sleepy_cat> !upgrade | dragon_flam
[04:51] <Xpistos> I need to change pwd for a user account, but I am not sure how to do it via command line. Can I get some help?
[04:51] <tanath> phorensic3, or was it something you added to a skins folder?
[04:52] <sleepy_cat> Flannel: nah tht didnt work
[04:52] <sleepy_cat> i already saw those
[04:52] <sleepy_cat> maybe i am stuck with LTS
[04:52] <Flannel> !doesntwork | sleepy_cat
[04:52] <sleepy_cat> !itsnotworking | Flannel
[04:52] <sleepy_cat> lol. i screwed up
[04:52] <rdw200169> and ubottu calls himself stupid; that was quite profound!
[04:52] <phorensic3> I believe I installed by browsing to the location of the file within vlc and choosing it as the skin. It worked for weeks and then it got stuck and the playlist wont work
[04:53] <sleepy_cat> shut up rdw
[04:53] <tanath> phorensic3, try just removing/renaming the skin file?
[04:54] <Flannel> sleepy_cat: Please remain polite
[04:54] <sleepy_cat> Flannel: hey y chucked me out
[04:54] <sleepy_cat> hmm ok
[04:54] <nabcore> Is it possible with 8.10 to use the install to USB device (i.e. boot from) to creat a bootable image on a CF card?
[04:54] <dn4> how do I know what version of ubuntu I have installed?
[04:54] <sleepy_cat> nabcore: yes its possible
[04:54] <Flannel> dn4: lsb_release -a
[04:54] <scunizi> nabcore, yea.. probably..
[04:54] <sleepy_cat> dn4: go to system monitor
[04:55] <sleepy_cat> nabcore:  first boot from the live cd
[04:55] <nabcore> sleep_cat; are there any guides, references, how tos?
[04:55] <nabcore> ok
[04:55] <sleepy_cat> then click on the first option

[04:56] <zgmf-x20a> also, i just did the purge, my last attemp = fail
[04:56] <shizumasa14> yes,  and MSN for that matter
[04:56] <sleepy_cat> dont click on tht
[04:56] <tanath> shizumasa14, xchat is an IRC client. yahoo messenger is a different protocol and requires a different app
[04:56] <david_> Does anyone know if I can get 3D acceleraton on my Chrome integrated graphics card? I've been searching the internet  for atleast a week trying to find a solution to no satisfaction
[04:56] <shizumasa14> okay, thanks.
[04:57] <sleepy_cat> i guess there is an option in the system to install onto pendrive or something.. try tht nabcore
[04:57] <tanath> shizumasa14, pidgin seems to be the best chat client. supports multiple protocols
[04:57] <shizumasa14> okay,  thanks.
[04:57] <phorensic3> tanath: Thats a good idea.. when I get back on my laptop Ill check it out
[04:57] <scunizi> shizumasa14, xchat is an irc client not a messaging client.. use pidgin.. it's already installed and under applications>Internet. It'll connect to most everything.. including here.
[04:57] <tanath> shizumasa14, best for linux anyway. there's also digsby for windows, which runs somewhat decently with wine
[04:58] <nabcore> sleepy_cat; ok, I've tried that, but it does not give me the option to install to the CF drive; it only seems to recogise that this drive exists
[04:58] <qcjn> hi, when i want to add an application at start up, in the command prompt, i get the app from /usr/bin/whateverapp  ??
[04:58] <tanath> scunizi, irc is a messaging protocol :P
[04:58] <jansen> Xpistos: sudo passwd <username>
[04:58] <scunizi> tanath, true.. but in "non-tech" speak it works
[04:59] <sleepy_cat> I didnt get you.. on which medium u trying to install
[04:59] <tanath> zgmf-x20a, find it in nautilus (the file manager). click places menu, or Computer icon on desktop
[04:59] <tanath> scunizi, actually, i thought it'd be confusing. using xchat, you're doing messaging...
[04:59] <sleepy_cat> is it a pendrive or a USB HDD
[05:00] <Brenty> I feel like such a noob.
[05:00] <zgmf-x20a> tanath: just did... not there... and after purge, and reinstall... the problem STILL persists.... i think i might have to reinstall ubuntu.... i cant believe this garbage... i hope the author of that skin isnt in this country...
[05:00] <zgmf-x20a> LOL
[05:00] <david_> Can anyone help me get 3d acceleration on my VIA Chrome9 IGP?
[05:00] <Brenty> I finally after so long just installed Ubuntu on one of my desktops =D
[05:00] <flyback> how do I change runlevel in ubuntu 8.10
[05:00] <jansen> Brenty: we all were noobs once.
[05:00] <Brenty> hehe
[05:00] <Brenty> I have SSH experience that's about it.
[05:00] <george> need help configuring wireless card.
[05:00] <Brenty> it doesn't seem bad but im more used to the terminal
[05:01] <nabcore> sleepy_cat: I have to go, but I will read up more. Thank you so much for the advice so far
[05:01] <george> I can't pick up internet, but I have a wireless card installed in ubuntu right now
[05:01] <tritium> flyback: sudo telinit <runleve>, but keep in mind that debian and ubuntu don't use runleves in the way that you may be expecting
[05:01] <flyback> yeah I know
[05:01] <scunizi> tanath, I'll give you that.. IM-ing is typically thought of though as yahoo, msn etc.. not an irc channel ..
[05:01] <tritium> !runlevels
[05:01] <flyback> i want it to boot to text mode from now on
[05:01] <zgmf-x20a> tanath: any idea WHY its remebering that i installed a skin?  is there some mega super command that will full kill everything VLC
[05:01] <zgmf-x20a> ?
[05:01] <tanath> zgmf-x20a, ok, do all of the following: purge vlc, and whatever depends on it. rename ~/.vlc & rename the skin file. if the problem still persists, it needs further inspection
[05:01] <flyback> how the hell do I do that then
[05:01] <Brenty> anyways i was going to ask help about untarring a .tar.bz2 file
[05:01] <tritium> flyback: easy on the language, please.
[05:02] <tanath> scunizi, but many don't really know the difference
[05:02] <balzac> hello
[05:02] <tanath> scunizi, just that it's "different programs" usually
[05:02] <tritium> flyback: you need to use update-rc.d on the gdm init script to prevent it from stopping
[05:02] <flyback> sorry I am viciously sick and I Just want t o get this running before I go to bed
[05:02] <balzac> I'm trying to free up some space on my computer
[05:02] <jansen> Brenty tar xjvf <filename.bz2>
[05:02] <Brenty> ill try it :S
[05:02] <flyback> so I can use my beside term
[05:02] <balzac> I noticed intrepid came with Sun Java JRE 6
[05:02] <jansen> Brenty: The "j" option is for bz2
[05:02] <flyback> I just setup xvnc
[05:02] <tritium> flyback: follow this (first method) http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tips.en.html#s-no-x-start
[05:02] <balzac> that's not free software is it?
[05:02] <tanath> zgmf-x20a, there's likely a setting somewhere being missed. i would expect it to be in ~/.vlc but if not, it may have its own file in ~
[05:02] <bukowski> i try to activate the cube in compiz but it doesnt, please help.
[05:02] <balzac> I got rid of mono and skype already
[05:03] <zgmf-x20a> tanath: ok, purge done, but i cant seem to find ~/.vlc
[05:03] <george> anyone know how to configure a wireless card in ubuntu? It's so easy in windows....
[05:03] <phorensic1> zgmf-x20a: Yah I was having trouble finding it too
[05:03] <tanath> zgmf-x20a, purging removes the application and system-wide config files. removing/renaming ~/.vlc gets rid of user configs for it
[05:03] <scunizi> zgmf-x20a, if you're using nautilus to look. .hit ctrl+h to reveal the hidden directory
[05:03] <jansen> zgmf-x20a: make sure you are showing hidden files and folders
[05:03] <dport> Hey, my sound still isn't working, I have Creative Labs SB Audigy (rev 03) and can't figure it out for the life of me
[05:03] <tritium> george: they typically "just work".  Which card do you have?
[05:03] <balzac> actually, this is "easy peasy", I don't want to accuse ubuntu of including skype and sunjre6
[05:03] <tanath> zgmf-x20a, ok, i'm presuming it's there. lemme check
[05:03] <david_> I installed the openchrome driver and installed VIA's driver and neither get me 3D acceleration, is there something else that I could do besides buy a new video cad?
[05:04] <balzac> though I'm not sure if they did...
[05:04] <george> I have a... hold on
[05:04] <Brenty> can i pm you janbanan
[05:04] <Brenty> jansen *
[05:04] <tanath> zgmf-x20a, yep, i have a ~/.vlc
[05:04] <tritium> flyback: did you see that above?
[05:04] <tanath> zgmf-x20a, do the hidden files thing
[05:04] <jansen> Brenty: yes
[05:04] <flyback> yeah I think I will just kill x manually for tonight
[05:04] <flyback> too sick to figure it out
[05:04] <flyback> but thx
[05:04] <tritium> flyback: no problem
[05:04] <tanath> zgmf-x20a, a . at the beginning makes something 'hidden'
[05:05] <balzac> can I remove gedit without removing "ubuntu-desktop"?
[05:05] <zgmf-x20a> tanath: scunizi, yup im in my home folder, did the hidden files thing, but nothing!  it should be inbetween .Virtualbox and .wine, but nothing!
[05:05] <balzac> I prefer leafpad
[05:05] <tanath> zgmf-x20a, just run this in terminal then: mv .vlc .vlc-bak
[05:05] <cdenny> i am having second thoughts about ubuntu
[05:06] <tanath> zgmf-x20a, that'll rename it. to get it back, do the reverse: mv .vlc-bak .vlc
[05:06] <grendal_prime> I have a question about openvpn.  And ya ive already asked in #openvpn..but its really quite there. So i figured id ask here.  Anyone learned enoug in openvpn to discuss possible key centralization for several servers?
[05:06] <tritium> balzac: ubuntu-desktop is simply a meta-package, which is safe to remove.
[05:06] <phorensic1> cdenny: No don't, ubuntu is the shiza
[05:06] <balzac> tritium: thanks
[05:06] <TheFunkbomb> Hey folks.  Quick question.  I tried to deny all traffic through UFW and it just says "bad port"
[05:06] <cdenny> phorensic1: thats the thing, i love it.
[05:06] <zgmf-x20a> tanath: mv: cannot stat `.vlc': No such file or directory
[05:06] <cdenny> phorensic1: it just doesnt seem all "there" on my vmware
[05:06] <flyback> freaking nausea
[05:06] <flyback> :/
[05:06] <tanath> zgmf-x20a, ok, it's been deleted then. maybe the purge removed it
[05:06] <cdenny> phorensic1: its just missing, something
[05:06] <tritium> balzac: if, however, you go to upgrade to a new release, you'll want to reinstall ubuntu-desktop simply to allow the upgrade to go smoothly.  Then, you can remove it again.
[05:07] <d0netsFN> wow could someone please help me, my ubuntu just locked up so i hard reset
[05:07] <d0netsFN> then i get error 21 in grub
[05:07] <balzac> tritium: maybe it's not worth it...
[05:07] <tanath> zgmf-x20a, seems sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't remove user config
[05:07] <balzac> gedit is kind of huge for a mere text editor though
[05:07] <tritium> balzac: it's simple, but it's up to you
[05:07] <TheFunkbomb> I'm also having an issue with firefox freezing up
[05:07] <zgmf-x20a> tanath: it never appears there, even when installed tho.  and when i reinstall, guarenteed, same error will be coming back
[05:07] <tanath> zgmf-x20a, move/rename the skin file, if you still have it. and do a search for duplicates
[05:07] <phorensic1> cdenny: its missing a full install is what
[05:08] <tanath> zgmf-x20a, oh? are you running regular ubuntu distro?
[05:08] <cdenny> phorensic1: thats the thing, i cant do a full install
[05:08] <tanath> zgmf-x20a, installing vlc from ubuntu repositories, or a third-party source?
[05:08] <ubuntu3877> hi
[05:08] <phorensic1> cdenny why not?
[05:08] <georgewhunter> need help with wifi 8.04
[05:09] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[05:09] <georgewhunter> wireless pci adapter
[05:09] <d0netsFN> hey seriously, im having major issues
[05:09] <cdenny> woah
[05:09] <tanath> TheFunkbomb, that's usually caused by addons/extensions. do you have any installed?
[05:09] <d0netsFN> i think maybe 2 of my drives just died
[05:09] <d0netsFN> one being a brand new 1 tb drive
[05:09] <TheFunkbomb> tanath, this just started today.  I haven't added any new add ons
[05:10] <cdenny> phorensic1: i have it set up so I can have two people on one computer at once
[05:10] <tanath> TheFunkbomb, well, an existing one may have updated and become buggy
[05:10] <zgmf-x20a> tanath: checked for vlc in share, its not there ne more, original place for skin files.  and im on ubuntu 8.10 normal, and installing from synaptic
[05:10] <markys> Hey, small question here: is it possible to do, for example, "echo '#!' && which python", but with the output on only one line?
[05:10] <balzac> ok, java jre6 is getting the axe on my system
[05:10] <dport> Anyone know of PeerGuardian 2 can be installed on Ubuntu?
[05:10] <TheFunkbomb> I think I'm just going to format.  I'm pretty sure I screwed something up in Terminal
[05:10] <werdnum> yay netsplit
[05:10] <phorensic1> yay!
[05:11] <phorensic1> hooray for netsplit!
[05:11] <zgmf-x20a> tanath: checked for vlc in share, its not there ne more, original place for skin files.  and im on ubuntu 8.10 normal, and installing from synaptic
[05:11] <tanath> TheFunkbomb, remember what you did? it may be more easily fixable
[05:11] <tanath> zgmf-x20a, share?
[05:11] <cdenny> am i the only one who is seeing hundreds of people leaving the room?
[05:11] <werdnum> wheee
[05:11] <zgmf-x20a> home -> usr -> share
[05:11] <cQ> ah..checkinga again...
[05:11] <ubuntu3877> l am  a new linux ubuntu user and l am trying to up date ubuntu 8.10 but java l can instal
[05:11] <tanath> cdenny, nope. netsplit
[05:12] <Flannel> !netsplit
[05:12] <cdenny> THIS IS CRAZY
[05:12] <ubuntu3877> can help me about it
[05:12] <phorensic1> cdenny: no its a net split
[05:12] <dport> wtf is up with this?
[05:12] <dport> gah
[05:12] <Flannel> Everyone just sit tight.  This should be over shortly.
[05:12] <cdenny> lol enjoy the show
[05:12] <tanath> dport, it's temporary
[05:12] <cdenny> its like a tornado
[05:12] <cdenny> wait and watch, lol
[05:12] <tanath> servers on same network are reconnecting
[05:13] <tanath> sweet chocolate jeebus... when will it end?
[05:13] <usser> man thats  a nasty one
[05:14] <tanath> damn... usually not this bad
[05:14] <theCzar> what the crap is up with all this netsplit!!
[05:14] <scunizi> happens
[05:14] <tritium> theCzar: easy on the language, please
[05:14] <tanath> theCzar, servers having connection troubles
[05:15] <theCzar> tritium: sorry, just a bit shocked I looked away for a while
[05:15] <stdin> there is nothing any of us can do, just wait for it to be over
[05:15] <tritium> theCzar: I understand
[05:15] <tapan_chugh> unable to get the maximum audio output from ubuntu
[05:16] <fxhp> netsplit?
[05:16] <cdenny> UBUNTU SUCKS
[05:16] <tanath> fxhp, big one
[05:16] <tritium> cdenny: this has *nothing* to do with ubuntu.
[05:16] <cwillu> that's what happens when 4000 people disconnect and reconnect at the same time :p
[05:16] <cdenny> great, right when it stops doing it
[05:17] <Flannel> Please just sit tight while the servers all freak out.  It should be over sometime soon.
[05:17] <tritium> This is a netsplit on freenode.
[05:17] <ArCHoNKoG> its a server split
[05:17] <theCzar> aight
[05:17] <werdnum> more than just a server split
[05:17] <Bossmanbeta> this is beyond a netsplit-
[05:17] <werdnum> probably a hub issue.
[05:17] <Bossmanbeta> this is server fail ....
[05:17] <Wicked> yea wow.
[05:17] <tanath> attack maybe?
[05:17] <Inc`> Or an attack
[05:18] <ArCHoNKoG> lol
[05:18] <ice_cream> well done
[05:18] <tapan_chugh> is it over now
[05:18] <Serge3> good morning
[05:18] <Serge3> :D
[05:18] <Flannel> tapan_chugh: not yet, no.
[05:18] <tanath> don't suppose someone can do me a favour while waiting? can anyone update virus definitions with clamtk?
[05:18] <TheFunkbomb> okay, I'm back
[05:19] <cryptw> WHATS WITH THE NETSPLITS
[05:19] <TheFunkbomb> that's weird, the chan just dropped out on me
[05:19] <Flannel> Once again, for those of you just joining us:  Just sit tight while the servers freak out.  It should be over soon enough.
[05:19] <Bossmanbeta> this is server fail, not a netsplit.
[05:19] <TheFunkbomb> so tanath, I ran sudo modprobe -L and it scrolls too fast
[05:19] <TheFunkbomb> is there anyway to slow it down?
[05:19] <Serge3> this is not only on ubuntu
[05:19] <osxdude|l> Test.
[05:20] <osxdude|l> WIN!
[05:20] <Serge3> on debian too
[05:20] <Serge3> gg
[05:20] <tanath> TheFunkbomb, pipe it to pg or more: command | pg
[05:20] <Wicked> TheFunkbomb, pipe it to more
[05:20] <cdenny> goodbye i am going back to vista
[05:20] <TheFunkbomb> okay, I'll try that
[05:20] <tapan_chugh> unable to get the maximum audio output
[05:20] <tanath> cdenny, this isn't exactly the best time to be trolling :P
[05:21] <cdenny> tanath lol, i apologize for being out of context
[05:21] <tanath> tapan_chugh, how do you figure?
[05:21] <cdenny> its just that im torn
[05:21] <dport> Stay with Ubuntu
[05:21] <tanath> cdenny, and... vista??
[05:21] <Zerro> Ello
[05:21] <Serge3> shit
[05:21] <Longlinux6> having trouble installing a ralink rt2600 pci wireless
[05:21] <cdenny> I love the support and some neat stuff in ubuntu, but vista works better in a virtual environment
[05:21] <Longlinux6> can someone help me with this issue
[05:21] <Flannel> Serge3: Please watch the language
[05:21] <tanath> cdenny, not xp? or win7 beta at least? :P
[05:21] <Serge3> flannel, i can't copy an nickname of this net split
[05:22] <Serge3> :D
[05:22] <cdenny> tanath if i get win7 beta it ends in june 08
[05:22] <tapan_chugh> i have a multiboot a win xp and ubuntu. I get less sound at the max volume in ubuntu than half its volume in windows
[05:22] <Knightrous> Win7 Beta is definately better then Vista already!
[05:22] <Flannel> Longlinux6: We're having network issues, you'll want to wait until theyre over.
[05:22] <Longlinux6> ok no prob
[05:22] <tanath> cdenny, mess with system clock?
[05:22] <Wicked> tapan_chugh, adjeust the sound with alasmixer
[05:22] <phorensic1> Knightrous: I took a crap earlier that looked better than vista
[05:22] <Serge3> will this net split sometime STOP? ?
[05:22] <cdenny> tanath that will work until june 2008
[05:22] <cdenny> ms designed the beta so It implodes itself in june
[05:22] <sexcopter> hi, i have a laptop with a 1024x768 display, and plugged in a 1280x1024 monitor. i can get a 1024x768 display through the gnome screen resolution utility, but is there a way i can crank it up to 1280?
[05:22] <Knightrous> phorensic1, lol. bloated and slow?
[05:23] <albuntu> people dont have a life and come here to flood. f*** you that did this. sorry guys
[05:23] <tanath> cdenny, could look around p2p. might be a cracked version that extends it
[05:23] <TheFunkbomb> I wish there was a way to search in terminal
[05:23] <Flannel> albuntu: No ones flooding, this is a netsplit.  And please watch your language.
[05:23] <tritium> TheFunkbomb: search what?
[05:23] <tanath> cdenny, meh. i'm happy with linux
[05:23] <cdenny> tanath will do
[05:23] <scunizi> sexcopter, if you have an nvidia card install nvidia-settings.. it will allow you to do just that.. if you have ati.. I have no idea
[05:23] <stdin> TheFunkbomb: search what?
[05:23] <cdenny> tanath my case is unique
[05:23] <tanath> cdenny, oh?
[05:23] <albuntu> Flannel: ok sorry. i just thought they were flooding
[05:23] <cdenny> tanath im running a virtual instance, not full install
[05:24] <scunizi> TheFunkbomb, sudo updatedb .. then locate <whatever> ..
[05:24] <TheFunkbomb> tritium and stdin like if I had a long list and I wanted to search for a keyword
[05:24] <tritium> TheFunkbomb: you can do that with grep
[05:24] <tanath> cdenny, windows prolly ought to be kept in a vm :P
[05:24] <Knightrous> cdenny: according to my beta emails, it will last through till August. Plenty of time to work out if you like it or not. I'm currently using it as for gaming on my non-linux computer
[05:24] <sexcopter> scunizi: ati... too bad
[05:24] <stdin> TheFunkbomb: you mean like grep?
[05:24] <tapan_chugh> no help. It is already at the max volume
[05:24] <sexcopter> scunizi: thanks, i'll keep looking
[05:24] <tritium> TheFunkbomb: cat list | grep <whatever>
[05:24] <Flannel> Once again:  We're in the middle of a rather large netsplit.  Your questions/discussions may not be visible for long as people disconnect and reconnect.  It's a good idea to just sit tight and wait for it to stabilize.
[05:24] <scunizi> sexcopter, there a way but I don't know how.
[05:24] <cdenny> Knightrous: thanks for the update, i guess I can just download it>
[05:24] <tanath> find?
[05:24] <TheFunkbomb> what I'm looking for is tifm_core in the modprobe section
[05:24] <stdin> tritium: or just "grep list <whatever>" ;)
[05:24] <cdenny> Knightrous: or do i buy a dvd
[05:25] <tritium> stdin: indeed
[05:25] <tanath> grep is used in parsing output. find will actually search
[05:25] <cdenny> the community is the best thing about ubuntu
[05:25] <Knightrous> cdenny: You can download it from the M$ site, link on the front page. I still prefer Ubuntu though, just Win7 satisfies my gaming needs ATM
[05:25] <Phantomime_> Okay, I am back.. did some searching on the web. I have a TEW 423P! H/W B1.R wireless PCI chip installed into my computer. I want to know how to get on the internet. I can't figure out how to get ubuntu to recognize my hardware and allow me internet access. I wish this was all as easy as windows.
[05:25] <tritium> tanath: he's wanting to search a text file list, not search for files themselves.
[05:26] <cdenny> Knightrous: i love ubuntu
[05:26] <tanath> tritium, ah, k
[05:26] <Phantomime_> 423PI
[05:26] <tritium> TheFunkbomb: man grep, and learn all about it.
[05:26] <phorensic1> cdenny: I would say that the software, response time to correct bugs, cost, versatility, and community are all somewhat high on the reasons why ubuntu is the bomb
[05:26] <cdenny> Knightrous: its vmware workstation 6.5 that doesnt like it
[05:26] <stdin> TheFunkbomb: you can search the output of any command with "<command> | grep <search term>"
[05:26] <tanath> so is anyone able to get signature upates in clamtk?
[05:26] <Phantomime_> I was under the name "george" before
[05:26] <cdenny> phorensic1: when I can afford my own workstation (digital art) i will try ubuntu again.  but for now, i miss my photoshop
[05:27] <Knightrous> cdenny, Try VirtualBox, I use it instead of VMware, it's faster from my experience.
[05:27] <Flannel> Once again:  We're in the middle of a rather large netsplit.  Your questions/discussions may not be visible for long as people disconnect and reconnect.  It's a good idea to just sit tight and wait for it to stabilize.
[05:27] <Serge3> colapse
[05:28] <feltis> ok this is driving me nuts and I've been banging my head against google, I have an AMD Turion 64 RM-70 chip. For the life of me I can't get ubuntu install cd's to work with the AMD64 iso's. Everything else works fine. I've tried other distro's with 64 bit and they work. Any ideas?
[05:28] <Flannel> Once again:  We're in the middle of a rather large netsplit.  Your questions/discussions may not be visible for long as people disconnect and reconnect.  It's a good idea to just sit tight and wait for it to stabilize before trying to ask questions.
[05:28] <werdnum> Flannel: Some hub, I suppose.
[05:28] <phixxor> !netsplit
[05:31] <Knightrous> Netsplit finished yet?
[05:31] <therealnanotube> Knightrous: ehrm... no? :)
[05:31] <kkathman> Knightrous,  its more than a split
[05:42] <scunizi> Merc, use the file manager to go to the mp3 player and once  you're looking at the empty file structure.. put ctrl+h and you'll see the hidden trash directory on it.. empty trash
[05:42] <cellofellow> adam7: is there a way to install from the .deb into ~?
[05:43] <Flannel> Once again:  The Freenode servers are experiencing a netsplit right now.  Just sit tight and enjoy the show.  It'll settle down soon enough.  It might not be worth your while to ask questions right now due to scrolling.
[05:43] <cellofellow> adam_:  is there a way to install from the .deb into ~?
[05:43] <davenull> cellofellow: Not unless the .deb is setup to do that already.
[05:43] <cellofellow> :(
[05:43] <Merc> thats right, thanks guys :)
[05:43] <cellofellow> can I do that from the source deb?
[05:44] <cellofellow> this tarball won't build
[05:44] <davenull> cellofellow: What is the program?
[05:44] <cellofellow> ...and the source deb won't build without builddeps.
[05:44] <cellofellow> python-mysqldb
[05:44] <Longlinux6> ralink 2600 pci wireless problems installing
[05:44] <cellofellow> I know it's in repos but I can't install it.
[05:44] <Flannel> cellofellow: You can extract the contents of the deb, yes.  Its just an archive format.
[05:44] <Merc> Oh.. ehh, I deleted the trash folder, but the player is still fucked up, still full but no files
[05:44] <Merc> defenetly no files
[05:44] <Flannel> Merc: Please watch your langauge
[05:44] <Pyles17> adam7: how do i know if it's a firmware problem?
[05:44] <Merc> oh, sorry
[05:46] <phixxor> is it all right to join freenode using port 8001?
[05:46] <Flannel> phixxor: Yes
[05:46] <scunizi> phixxor, yes.. use chat.freenode.net
[05:46] <scunizi> phixxor, instead of irc.freenode.net
[05:46] <biyinglei> my start bar have lost
[05:46] <phixxor> scunizi: what's the difference?
[05:47] <scunizi> phixxor, not sure.. both might work.. but at one point I read that the chat one with 8001 helped reduce dcc exploits
[05:48] <Merc> Hm, now the mp3 player is working, its now saying it got no songs. But my ubuntu says otherwise, atleast that it is full... :S
[05:48] <rww> phixxor: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit for more info on the exploit thing
[05:48] <jxander> i'm trying to make sudo and gksu to work without me entering a password. I've added the line "jxander ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL" to /etc/sudoers, but I still have to enter the password. user jxander is in group jxander. What am I missing?
[05:48] <rww> Merc: what brand of mp3 player?
[05:48] <Merc> apache
[05:49] <scunizi> jxander, if you continue you'll be missing all your security. might as well run win$
[05:49] <phixxor> rww thanks
[05:49] <Merc> im gonna try logging off and on
[05:49] <werdnum> scunizi: that's not at all true.
[05:50] <tanath> jxander, would recommend against doing that on a machine connected to the internet
[05:50] <ryanprior> How do I tell a process which CPU core (s) to run on?
[05:50] <jxander> scunizi: :)) yeah, funny... i know it's true too :P
[05:50] <scunizi> werdnum, if you engineer the sys so you don't have to use a password when using sudo?  that won't hurt your security?
[05:51] <rww> jxander: 1) That's not a great idea. 2) You should be using the visudo command, not editing the sudoers file directly. 3) Instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#Remove%20Password%20Prompt%20For%20sudo (maybe log out and log back in?)
[05:51] <tritium> scunizi: that's a poor use of the term "engineer"
[05:51] <werdnum> scunizi: It's certainly not true that it eliminates any security benefits from running Ubuntu.
[05:51] <jxander> tanath: but how could i make it at least for one session not to have to enter the password every 5 min?
[05:51] <Merc> Well, that didnt do anything good
[05:51] <bullgard4> The 'ifconfig' command outputs with my IBM laptop T42 after each of the 4 network interface names 'Link encap:'? What information follows then? (I know what encapsulation in protocols is.)
[05:51] <tanath> jxander, you could keep a root shell open
[05:51] <scunizi> tritium, you must be one.
[05:51] <Merc> mp3 player says its empty, ubuntu says its full
[05:52] <tritium> scunizi: yes
[05:52] <tanath> jxander, run 'su'
[05:52] <scunizi> tritium, :)  ..
[05:52] <Giraffe> hey, i'm having trouble getting WPA personal with TKIP working.  does anybody know why this is?
[05:52] <jxander> tanath: you mean, log in as root, right?
[05:52] <tanath> jxander, no
[05:52] <tritium> scunizi: :)
[05:52] <Giraffe> it seems that it's a known bug in 8.10 but nobody has fixed it yet, so...
[05:52] <lid> fuck
[05:52] <Flannel> Alright, sit seems that we've returned to normality.  If you asked a question in the last 10 minutes or so, you'll want to repeat it.  Thank you for flying #ubuntu
[05:52] <tritium> lid: no foul language, please
[05:52] <Giraffe> er, k
[05:52] <tanath> jxander, i said keep a root shell open, meaning a terminal with a shell that's logged in as root. not logging in yourself as root
[05:52] <Giraffe> hey, i'm having trouble getting WPA personal with TKIP working.  does anybody know why this is?
[05:53] <Giraffe> at Flannel's request
[05:53] <lid> What if my fucking internet isn'tworking... I can't very well tell youwhat's wrong without cursing
[05:53] <Giraffe> well, try harder
[05:53]  * ice_cream laughs
[05:53] <_Vi_> pwned
[05:54] <Merc> maybe I should format my player?
[05:54] <phiqtion> what is the best way to mount a .bin file in ubuntu?
[05:54] <mysticdarkhack> so is ubuntu irc working now?
[05:54] <mysticdarkhack> lol
[05:54] <mysticdarkhack> freenode that is
[05:54] <tanath> phiqtion, convert to iso & use gmount-iso?
[05:54] <Merc> I cant even format it in gparted...
[05:54] <Knightrous> phiqtion: Try Gmount-Iso, I'm sure it can hand mounting bin files as well as Iso's
[05:54] <ice_cream> tbd
[05:54] <_Vi_> been working all day mysticdarkhack
[05:55] <Merc> trying restart comp
[05:55] <tanath> (convert if necessary)
[05:55] <ice_cream> what is this restart comp stuff =P
[05:55] <Brian_S> O_!
[05:55] <ice_cream> this is linux
[05:55] <Knightrous> phiqtion: Or you could try the linux version of PowerISO
[05:55] <mysticdarkhack> so anyway, any knoww how I can get my sony vaio internal mic working
[05:55] <jxander> tanath: i see... thanks :D... so if I keep a gnome-terminal for example open it won't ask for password... i suppose a root login, on tty1 for example, won't do the trick...
[05:55] <tanath> this is spartaaa! (sorry)
[05:55] <mysticdarkhack> hoping to use it on skype
[05:56] <mysticdarkhack> the webcam work
[05:56] <mysticdarkhack> but the internal mic is being a pain
[05:56] <tanath> jxander, if you use a vt, and want to run a graphical app, you'll have to tell it to run on the x server specifically. i doubt you know how to do that
[05:56] <tanath> jxander, just run terminal, and get a root shell
[05:56] <mysticdarkhack> anyone can help me??
[05:57] <tanath> jxander, but yes, you can use a vt
[05:57] <jockey8788> hello all
[05:57] <Knightrous> jxander: If I'm doing any length terminal work, and don't want to have to enter my root pass everytime I need to run a command, I use "sudo su"
[05:58] <tanath> jxander, one way to do it is by running 'sudo -i'
[05:58] <jockey8788> can i ask some help ?
[05:58] <werdnum> Knightrous: sudo -s :)
[05:58] <tritium> werdnum: sudo -i
[05:58] <rww> !ask | jockey8788
[05:58] <Knightrous> werdnum: I use sudo su :P
[05:58] <tritium> Knightrous: you should reconsider that
[05:58] <tanath> jxander, that gives you an interactive sudo shell, basically
[05:59] <cwillu> Knightrous, sudo -s is a little more sane :p
[05:59] <jockey8788> i'm totally new to ubuntu.. just installed :) everything works more tha perfect
[05:59] <jockey8788> but i do want the fonts of windows
[05:59] <Merc> okey, system restart did nothing.. the mp3 player is still "full" and I realy need it.. :S
[05:59] <cwillu> jockey8788, install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[05:59] <d0netsFN> hey could someone help me get my grub back to normal
[05:59] <Knightrous> tritium: It's not that insane ;-)
[05:59] <cwillu> jockey8788, will install java, flash, windows fonts, mp3 support
[05:59] <d0netsFN> im having crazy problems when i add my new 1 tb drive
[05:59] <jockey8788> so i downloaded the fonts and installed them
[05:59] <jxander> tanath, Knightrous thanks for all the options... will try all the above right now :D...
[05:59] <scunizi> jockey8788, open System>Admin>Synaptic package manager and search for mstcorefonts..
[05:59] <tritium> cwillu: sudo su and sudo -s are equivalent
[05:59] <jockey8788> installed all these
[06:00] <jockey8788> also mstcorefonts
[06:00] <jockey8788> what i must do now to make them work and make ubuntu's fonts look like window's
[06:00] <jockey8788> ?
[06:00] <tritium> sudo -i and sudo su - are equivalent, and give you root's environment configuration, which is what you typically want when you use it as suck.
[06:00] <tritium> s/suck/such
[06:00] <tanath> jockey8788, have you logged out or rebooted since installing them?
[06:00] <ice_cream> n1
[06:00] <Miesco> My mic doesn't work :/
[06:00] <tritium> sudo -s and sudo su keep the current shell's env.
[06:01] <rdw200169> tritium, you vi too much.
[06:01] <jockey8788> yes
[06:01] <jockey8788> also restarted me laptop
[06:01] <tritium> rdw200169: vi?
[06:01] <rdw200169> tritium, s/something/something_else is a common search and replace for vi!
[06:01] <ice_cream> tritium, and  simply 'su'  reads root's .bashrc (e.g. bash) ?
[06:01] <tritium> rdw200169: yeo
[06:01] <stdin> 'sudo su -' is excessive, changes user to root to change user to root...
[06:02] <tritium> Just use "sudo -i"
[06:02] <tanath> 'sudo su - && sudo su -' !
[06:02] <jockey8788> shouldn't i change some settings to work ?
[06:02]  * ice_cream shrugs
[06:02] <ice_cream> i usually either sudo or su, not both
[06:03] <tritium> ice_cream: you've enabled the root account?
[06:03] <bullgard4> The 'ifconfig' command outputs with my IBM laptop T42 after each of the 4 network interface names 'Link encap:'? What information follows then? (I know what encapsulation in protocols is.)
[06:03] <ice_cream> naturally
[06:03] <tritium> naturally for you, perhaps
[06:04] <ice_cream> that's the general meaning of a 'naturally' response...
[06:04] <tritium> Not really.
[06:04] <tritium> But, let's stay on topic, please.
[06:04] <Tweak66> #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:05] <calc> bullgard4: on mine it says Ethernet
[06:05] <ice_cream> you deviated first
[06:05] <jockey8788> anyway.. thank you everyone!
[06:06] <bullgard4> calc: And I would like to know what information is conveyed to me by the statement "ath0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:05:4e:47:3e:86 ". Can you explain that to me?
[06:06] <tanath> bullgard4, tells you the type of interface. should say ethernet for most. some are loopback...
[06:07] <tanath> bullgard4, that's an ethernet network device. the HWaddr is the MAC address
[06:07] <tanath> bullgard4, ath0 is the name of the device
[06:08] <Tweak66> has anyone gotten the guitar hero guitar working with fretsonfire ubuntu 8.10?
[06:08] <bullgard4> tanath:  "Link encap:Ethernet" designates the type of interface? I am lost. Please elaborate.
[06:09] <tanath> bullgard4, you'll generally see two types: ethernet & loopback. loopback is the local loopback (127.0.0.1 is your machine)
[06:09] <d0netsFN> hey could someone help me get my grub situated? im in the live cd, and i have fdisk -l , blackid , menu.lst, and device map already in pastebin
[06:09] <d0netsFN> if you could pm me thatd be awsome
[06:09] <Tweak66> !grub
[06:10] <albech> i have some problems with my build-in usb camera in skype.. the picture is all distorted and in weird colors
[06:10] <thehook_> Hello everybody :) Is there any way at all to bypass the userinput during install and configure it later manually? Take mysql-server as an example, it stops up and waits for the user to type in the desired root password. While I would like to set it manually afterwards so I can script the install..
[06:10] <tanath> bullgard4, ethernet is a common network connection type, using ethernet cables.
[06:10] <bullgard4> tanath: I agree on: "you'll generally see two types: ethernet & loopback. loopback is the local loopback (127.0.0.1 is my  machine)."
[06:10] <tanath> bullgard4, cables look like phone connecters, but are bigger
[06:11] <albech> the camera show a correct image in other applications
[06:11] <uniquepotty> Hi - Is there a way to remember to connect to a shared folder on my other Ibex desktop - I guess like a mapped drive in windows ? ?
[06:11] <bullgard4> tanath: But all this is no "encapsulation".
[06:11] <tanath> bullgard4, generally an ethernet cable is used to connect your machine to router and/or modem
[06:11] <bullgard4> tanath: But all this is no "encapsulation".
[06:11] <w33d5> if i want to CREATE A FILE with the YEAR-MONTH-DAY-HOUR-MINUTE-SECOND   i.e. cat thisfile.foo >> datedfilename.log      how can i do that?
[06:12] <Andy__> HI, yesterday I downloaded and installed xubuntu 8.10 from a alt CD thinking that sound might work when I get the latest version, but unfortunately it turns out that the sound card is not supported..so I need to get alsa right? can anyone guide me as how to get and install the latest alsa or to cheack if its already there? BTW I use Toshiba L30 and there is some info here I found While I googled http://taufanlubis.wordpress.com/2007/11/26/fix-no-sound-for-ubu
[06:12] <Andy__> ntu-in-toshiba-satellite-a205-s4707/
[06:12] <tanath> bullgard4, encapsulation is about protocol/header info
[06:13] <tanath> bullgard4, an ethernet connection only exists on network cards, basically. and as part of the protocol, requires a mac address. there's no mac address though for loopback
[06:13] <bullgard4> tanath: Yes. That's what I think too. So what information does the entry "Link encap:Ethernet" convey?
[06:13] <tanath> bullgard4, so different protocols
[06:13] <n8tuser> link layer encapsulated
[06:13] <aftab> how do I find the exact word using find or locate command?
[06:13] <tanath> bullgard4, as i said, tells you the type of interface.
[06:13] <Andy__> I need to add one more thing, last time i.e. when I used xubuntu 8.04 LTS and clicked to increase the sound it increased (but the sound never came out), this time as soon as I increase the volume, it gets back to 0% Automatically
[06:14] <stdin> w33d5: cat thisfile.foo >> $(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S).log
[06:14] <w33d5> stdin thanks --- you should be stout
[06:14] <l337ingDisorder> stdout
[06:14] <stdin> that nick is already registered ;)
[06:14] <cellofellow> what environmental variable sets the python path?
[06:14] <w33d5> ha
[06:15] <prince_jammys> PYTHONPATH
[06:15] <bullgard4> tanath: Why did ifconfig choose the word 'Link encap' and not the word 'type of interface'?
[06:15] <ftab> cellofellow:PYTHON_PATH
[06:15] <tanath> bullgard4, if you want in-depth info, you'll have to study up on the OSI model
[06:15] <Andy__> HI, yesterday I downloaded and installed xubuntu 8.10 from a alt CD thinking that sound might work when I get the latest version, but unfortunately it turns out that the sound card is not supported..so I need to get alsa right? can anyone guide me as how to get and install the latest alsa or to cheack if its already there?

[06:15] <Andy__> eased (but the sound never came out), this time as soon as I increase the volume, it gets back to 0% Automatically
[06:15] <ftab> either one
[06:15] <ftab> :)
[06:15]  * cellofellow tried both but both are empty
[06:15] <bullgard4> tanath: I did study the OSI model.

[06:15] <bullgard4> tanath: Why did ifconfig choose the word 'Link encap' and not the word 'type of interface'?
[06:15] <ftab> you can also use export command to set the path manually using bash
[06:15] <Draggor> I'm having problems getting my SB Live! card to work.  No sound comes out, and I have onboard sound in bios disabled.  My lspci is here: http://pastebin.com/m7d16921a
[06:16] <Lacider> I have nforce chipset and I can't get my network card to work running off the cd... is there drivers I can get?
[06:16] <tanath> bullgard4, ask the authors :P
[06:16] <Andy__> Hello...anyone?
[06:16] <bullgard4> tanath: Thank you very much for your help.
[06:16] <Pyles17> Now that it's back to a normal-esque state, any ideas why an intel 3945 card wouldn't work with the default settings of ubuntu, which supposedly supports the 3945 card?
[06:16] <l337ingDisorder> I'm trying to copy a file to every thunderbird profile for every user in a samba share mounted to /mnt, but when I try    cp <file> /mnt/Documents\ and\ Settings/*/Application\ Data/Thunderbird/Profiles/*/     It just omits almost every single dir (though there doesn't seem to be any pattern to which ones it omits).. can anyone help with this?
[06:17] <l337ingDisorder> I can do the same thing with rm and it omits nothing - properly crawls through all the profiles deleting the given file from all the directories..
[06:17] <_Vi_> Andy__: just keep asking every 10 mins, someone will eventually answer if they know the answer...
[06:17] <l337ingDisorder> but cp seems to behave differently
[06:17] <Andy__> _Vi_, Okay Thank you
[06:17] <_Vi_> np
[06:17] <jtaji> l337ingDisorder: cp doesn't take multiple destinations, only multiple sources
[06:18] <Pyles17> from what I understand, intel 3945 is pretty awful in linux
[06:18] <l337ingDisorder> Andy__: type the following into a terminal window:     sudo apt-get install alsa
[06:19] <l337ingDisorder> Andy__: if you ahve it installed, it'll say 0 installed, 0 updated
[06:19] <l337ingDisorder> jtaji: can you recommend an easy way to accomplish that then?
[06:19] <Andy__> Yeah I have it
[06:19] <Pyles17> But I would really like to get it working

[06:20] <l337ingDisorder> prince_jammys: thanks, I was just looking into bash for each statements
[06:21] <l337ingDisorder> saves me some hunting. :0
[06:21] <l337ingDisorder> :)
[06:21] <prince_jammys> cool
[06:21] <n8tuser> l337ingDisorder-> add the -r option to cp  so it can do recursive copying

[06:22] <n8tuser> w33d5-> nope
[06:22] <w33d5> thanks all
[06:22] <w33d5> thought not
[06:22] <w33d5> but i wanted to check

[06:24] <patterson> how would do i get the wi-fi working in kbuntu on a toshiba a45 s121 ?
[06:24] <w33d5> i'm going to be running RSYNC over 802.11G between an Iphone and a Ubuntu box --- does anyone think compression (option -z) would make sense or would it be a bottleneck?
[06:24] <patterson> -would
[06:25] <w33d5> moving mostly compressed formats (mp3, mp4, m4a, etc...)
[06:25] <n8tuser> patterson-> what chip does your wifi nic has?
[06:26] <patterson> ok. its no big deal. the box is dyiing .guess what i really meant is should a minty fresh kubuntu auto detect it
[06:26] <tr3nd> Hi.  When I try to install Windows XP on a computer that Ubuntu have been installed on it says GRUB isn't loading, what should I do?
[06:27] <n8tuser> patterson-> sudo lshw -C network    should tell you
[06:27] <Pyles17> can anyone help with my intel 3945 wireless card? i would rather not use this usb card anymore
[06:27] <prince_jammys> !grub > tr3nd
[06:27] <DonL> tr3nd: Windows likes to go first.
[06:27] <tritium> prince_jammys: are you using the iwl3945 module?  It works rather well.  I believe that's what Dell puts in their Ubuntu pre-installed machines.
[06:28] <EwR> I get this message " wine: could not load L"C:\\windows\\system32\\setup.exe " when trying to run wine setup. Any idea how to fix it?
[06:28] <prince_jammys> tritium: wrong nick, i think
[06:28] <d0netsFN> ok look i went through the grub tutorial
[06:28] <d0netsFN> im still getting error 22
[06:28] <tritium> prince_jammys: oops, sorry!
[06:28] <d0netsFN> could someone thats familiar with grub pm me
[06:28] <d0netsFN> i have been trying to get my pc situated for 3 days
[06:28] <tritium> Pyles17: are you using the iwl3945 module?  It works rather well.  I believe that's what Dell puts in their Ubuntu pre-installed machines.
[06:29] <tr3nd> The thing is, I have removed UBuntu from the harddrive but it still complains about GRUB when i try put my windows XP CD in my computer
[06:29] <d0netsFN> i get error 22
[06:29] <D-vine18> ok so i have a GXT wirless N PCI card... how do i get it to run??
[06:31] <tr3nd> Can someone help? I have formatted the harddrive -- Why isGRUB still complaning?
[06:31] <omari> how do you still have grub when you formatted the hd
[06:32] <tr3nd> omari: i dont know
[06:32] <omari> well what did you use to format the drive
[06:32] <Knightrous> tr3nd: What do you mean by "Why is grub still complaining" ? What error message are you getting?
[06:32] <DonL> aitd: There is a windows command for re-installing the directory. I can't remember what it is right now. Maybe rmdir?
[06:33] <tr3nd> Knightrous, error 22 or something.. i formatted the harddrive, but when i put my windows xp cd in my computer GRUB says error
[06:33] <Zerro> When I am in the terminal and use a arrow key I get something like "^[[A " know of a fix?
[06:34] <Frosti> Does an 8.10 liveCD use LVM for partitioning during install?
[06:34] <omari> if grub is still there you didnt format the right partition
[06:34] <omari> use gparted to wipe the whole HD
[06:34] <Zerro> I think it used Gparted Frosti
[06:34] <Knightrous> tr3nd: do you only have one hardrive in the computer?
[06:34] <tr3nd> Knightrous, yes
[06:34] <Frosti> how would one use LVM then
[06:35] <Knightrous> tr3nd: How many partitions?
[06:35] <tr3nd> one , i think
[06:35] <omari> if you installed ubuntu you have at least 2
[06:35] <omari> one swap one /root
[06:36] <Pyles17> tritium: i am using it. for whatever reason, it doesn't work
[06:36] <omari> possibly one /home if your smart
[06:36] <tr3nd> when i put the hadrdrive in windows, it says ts formatted
[06:36] <w33d5> i'm going to be running RSYNC over 802.11G between an Iphone and a Ubuntu box --- does anyone think compression (option -z) would make sense or would it be a bottleneck?
[06:36] <Peddy> what ports do I need to forward to my server from my router for Apache to work?
[06:37] <holyguyver> Baughn, bash: mke3fs: command not found
[06:37] <_Vi_> 80
[06:37] <D-vine18> does anyone know of how to get this gxt wireless pci card to work??
[06:37] <Frosti> If an 8.10 install disk does not use LVM, how would one go about using it instead of GParted?
[06:37] <Knightrous> tr3nd: when your get the Grub: error 22, press e (IIRC) and you will be able to edit the grub menu. It's probably trying to boot "hdd 0,1" instead of "hdd 0.0"
[06:37] <holyguyver> how do I install mke3fs
[06:37] <_Vi_> Frosti: gparted isnt a filesystem
[06:38] <Flannel> Frosti: you need the alternate (or server) CD to install to on LVM
[06:38] <tr3nd> Knightrous, can i wipe the whole harddrive with Gpart?
[06:38] <Knightrous> tr3nd:  Yep
[06:38] <Knightrous> tr3nd: Will be the quickest way if you don't want anything that's on the drive.
[06:38] <sebsebseb> tr3nd:  yes Gparted can get rid of all partitions
[06:38] <holyguyver> Knightrous, what you just said to tr3nd is not what Baughn told me
[06:39] <Frosti> so 8.10 server instead of desktop and then what for LVM?
[06:39] <tr3nd> I dont want anything on my harddrive, i want to install xp on it
[06:39] <_Vi_> *gasp*
[06:39] <Flannel> Frosti: or alternate (which can install a desktop system)
[06:39] <Knightrous> holyguyver: What need's corrected?
[06:39] <holyguyver> tr3nd, install ubuntu on it instead, XP is Microsoft & MS is Evil.
[06:40] <tr3nd> holyguyver, i have ubuntu on my laptop instead
[06:40] <Frosti> Flannel: so what kind of process would i need to accomplish all of that....?
[06:40] <sebsebseb> tr3nd:  run XP inside Ubuntu and that will be fine for everything except 3D games
[06:40] <n8tuser> holyguyver-> type mk and press tab twice to see the commands
[06:40] <sebsebseb> tr3nd:  also you can get many Windows programs running a better way Wine
[06:40] <holyguyver> Knightrous, I don't know, I am still trying to make since of what Baughn told me.
[06:40] <holyguyver> n8tuser, thanks
[06:41] <prince_jammys> tr3nd: can't you just boot with a windows CD and have the windows installer reformat the drive?
[06:41] <tonyyarusso> My new mobile phone supports sending contacts information over bluetooth as vCards via the Object Push Profile.  What application would I use in Ubuntu to receive such information?
[06:41] <werdnum> Any suggestions for Ubuntu-compatible laptops?
[06:41] <BooVeMan> hi, I have a problem with masqmail - on connecting my ppp connection the ifup-script 1masqmail gets executed and the queue is trying to send any queued mails but fails as it reports that its offline - reason for this is that the online detection file /var/run/masqmail-route doesn't get created. A bit of investigation revealed that the mentioned 1masqmail script needs to determine a SCHEME to write to that file and fails to do so. Relevant line SC
[06:41] <D-vine18> RaLink Unknown device 0701 is what is said about my gxt pci card
[06:41] <Sorcererbob> eeepc, werdnum?
[06:41] <Flannel> Frosti: What do you mean process?  You download the alternate CD, burn it, boot to it, answer the same questions as are given during the desktop install, except when you're doing the partitioning, theres a few extra steps for LVM stuff (first you make the LVM physical volumes, then you group them into volume groups, then put logical volumes ontop of the volume groups)
[06:42] <tr3nd> prince_jammys: it complains about GRUB error :/
[06:42] <werdnum> Sorcererbob: something a bit more high-powered.
[06:42] <Knightrous> werdnum: ThinkPads seem to have good compatibility with linux
[06:42] <tonyyarusso> werdnum: http://www.system76.com/, http://www.zareason.com/, http://www.dell.com/ubuntu/
[06:42] <werdnum> Knightrous: That's what I've heard, yeah.
[06:42] <prince_jammys> tr3nd: that's pretty weird, since you should be booting with CD
[06:42] <tr3nd> prince_jammys, i know
[06:42] <holyguyver> n8tuser, Which of those commands will make an ext3 file system?
[06:43] <tonyyarusso> werdnum: Many Thinkpads are reasonably compatible (I'm on one now), but those three URLs will give you machines that are officially supported with Ubuntu pre-installed.
[06:43] <Knightrous> werdnum: I have an old X23 thinkpad, runs 8.10 fine, a tad slow with 256mb PC133, but it handles it faster then when WinXP & SP2 was on it
[06:43] <n8tuser> holyguyver-> the name does not give you a hint?  but mkfs  with the correct option as last resort if you cant find the hint
[06:43] <werdnum> tonyyarusso: I don't necessarily want something pre-installed.
[06:43] <werdnum> I'm a reasonably advanced user, I don't mind getting my hands dirty.
[06:43] <tonyyarusso> werdnum: Why not?
[06:44] <Frosti> ok so by that logic i would need to boot the server cd, do what i need with LVM, then boot a desktop cd and install overtop of the server install? or am i missing something here
[06:44] <werdnum> tonyyarusso: Better choice.
[06:44] <holyguyver> n8tuser, my hints are confusing.
[06:44] <tonyyarusso> werdnum: Oh, you can re-install and tweak to your preferences obviously, but those will *guarantee* hardware compatibility.
[06:45] <holyguyver> I wish Baughn was here to help me.
[06:45] <n8tuser> holyguyver-> come on, its there, read up
[06:45] <BooVeMan> hmm - I recon no masqmail guru here
[06:45] <_Vi_> !who | Frosti
[06:45] <holyguyver> n8tuser, it is actually not there
[06:45] <n8tuser> holyguyver-> type mk and press tab twice to see the commands
[06:46] <holyguyver> n8tuser, I did that
[06:46] <holyguyver> n8tuser, I did that the first time you told me to
[06:46] <n8tuser> holyguyver-> what commands do you see on the list?
[06:46] <holyguyver> n8 the command is not there mke2fs is there but mke3fs is not there
[06:46] <d0netsFN> blkid: http://pastebin.com/m25f9f88f | fdisk -l : http://pastebin.com/m17843f59 | device.map : http://pastebin.com/m1a1f9e40 | menu.lst : http://pastebin.com/mb8ea7d4
[06:47] <d0netsFN> with all that, could someone help me figure out why im getting error 22 when booting grub?
[06:47] <n8tuser> holyguyver-> why do you insist on mke3fs ?  read the list again please
[06:47] <D-vine18> so... does ubuntu 8.10 have more hardware options then 8.04 ...or how do i get a Restricted device to wrok?
[06:48] <holyguyver> n8tuser, I have read the list again & again & again mke3fs is not there. & I insist on mke3fs because that is what Baughn instructed me to use.
[06:48] <Frosti> By my understanding, if i wish to use LVM i have to use a server cd. while if i wish to use desktop ubuntu afterwards i can simply install it overtop the server install. or is there a better way (this is to whoever can help)
[06:48] <n8tuser> holyguyver-> then Baughn was wrong to give you that command
[06:48] <holyguyver> n8tuser, then can you please help me?
[06:49] <amh> im using ubuntu 8.10 and everytime i reboot i get a something that says "enter password for default kingring to unlock network manager applet".  im trying to run this machine remotely so it's a pain when this popsup without a monitor attached.  can anyone explain how to remove this dialog box?
[06:49] <n8tuser> holyguyver-> id like to help who help themselves, its on the list my friend, read the list of commands
[06:49] <holyguyver> n8tuser, but if he was wrong about that, he might have given me the wrong commons all the way down making mk anything useless.
[06:49] <n8tuser> holyguyver-> if you wish, you can do a man  of each of those commands to give you a clearer picture
[06:50] <Flannel> n8tuser: When helping, please be helpful.
[06:50] <n8tuser> Flannel-> i gave him the list of the commands, all he has to do is read them..
[06:50] <holyguyver> n8tuser, I am trying to say that now with him being wrong about that I am lost I do not know what to do at all & I have no commands to use at all nor any instructions, only a problem that you do not know about.
[06:50] <l337ingDisorder> prince_jammys: what was that for loop you gave me half an hour ago? I've been fiddling with my own for loop and it just isn't working...
[06:51] <n8tuser> holyguyver-> i would be able to give you a command if I dont know about the issues.. correct
[06:51] <holyguyver> So n8tuser may I tell you what I want to do, so that I can be instructed what I have to do?
[06:52] <starfruit> i have problem mounting file system, http://rafb.net/p/oWf5sD60.html
[06:52] <Longlinux6> need help setting up ralink 2600 ubuntu 8.04 pci wireles
[06:52] <n8tuser> holyguyver-> go ahead, but do not get frustrated okay? im giving you good hints too, not to confuse you
[06:52] <Flannel> n8tuser: That's not how this channel works.  Be helpful when you're helping.  "RTFM" is not welcome.
[06:53] <amh> is there anyway to access a machine remotely without having auto login?
[06:53] <holyguyver> n8I have a external harddrive that I a year & a half ago dropped onto the floor from 4 feet, I need to remap the harddrive around the disk errors.
[06:53] <sebsebseb> this is for someone else:   what's a good IRC client for Windows ME?  and what's the dutch Ubuntu suppourt channel?
[06:53] <holyguyver> n8tuser, I have a external harddrive that I a year & a half ago dropped onto the floor from 4 feet, I need to remap the harddrive around the disk errors.
[06:53] <ari_stress> amh: ssh? vnc?
[06:53] <Flannel> sebsebseb: #ubuntu-nl and maybe mIRC?
[06:53] <_Vi_> starfruit: can you use http://paste.ubuntu.com for pastes? People would trust the URL more if you did :)
[06:53] <sebsebseb> mirc ok
[06:54] <starfruit> _Vi_, ok
[06:54] <Frosti> [to whoever can help me] am i correct in thinking: boot server disk >> use LVM >> finish server install >> boot desktop disk >> overwrite server install >> conclusion = drive with LVM partitions and desktop install on it??????????
[06:54] <n8tuser> holyguyver-> disk recovery is not my expertise, ill be guessing what i would be telling you on how to repair that
[06:54] <sebsebseb> #ubuntu-nl
[06:54] <Flannel> Frosti: No.  Get alternate CD, boot to it, install using LVM, you're done.
[06:54] <amh> ari_stress: im having an issue with the machine not getting on the network automatically because it's wireless and keeps asking me to enter in the root password before it connects.  how do i get it online to use vnc if i can't get it to connect automatically via wireless?
[06:55] <holyguyver> n8tuser, So now you are saying that your hints are not good? :p
[06:55] <Tekumel> sebsebseb: /join #ubuntu-nl
[06:55] <Frosti> Flannel: what is this "alternate CD" you speak of
[06:55] <_Vi_> !alternative | Frosti
[06:55] <n8tuser> holyguyver-> no, when you asked about making a filesystem of ext3  the commands are listed from the hint i gave you
[06:56] <Flannel> Frosti: instead of the "desktop" cd, it's the "alternate" CD.  http://releases.ubuntu.com/  has them available alongside the desktop and server CDs
[06:56] <ari_stress> amh: it's the gnome-keyring thing, we can set it to use unencrypted data, so that it won't ask for password for wireless
[06:56] <holyguyver> n8tuser, but I do not want to make a ext3 filesystem
[06:56] <jpablo> Hi there ...I tried configure ubuntu 8.10 but when I need delete a folder said me "read-only file system"
[06:56] <gfdewq> honestly, why haven't we had sex yet?
[06:56] <amh> ari_stress:  where do i set that ?
[06:56] <jpablo> I tried whith several ways to delete but is impossible to delete
[06:56] <_Vi_> jpablo: what folder exactly?
[06:56] <n8tuser> holyguyver-> the way you post the question, thats how it came across -- you wanted to make a ext3 file system
[06:57] <jpablo> a folder that I create in /home
[06:57] <l337ingDisorder> has anyone been logging this channel for the past hour or so?
[06:57] <Flannel> holyguyver: Whats wrong with just using gparted?
[06:57] <Frosti> Flannel: so its just like the desktop cd except the GUI is all text instead. as in i don't need to treat it like a terminal just select options i need?
[06:57] <fabrizio> dd
[06:57] <ari_stress> amh: lol, i cannot find it anymore
[06:57] <Flannel> Frosti: Yes.  It asks you the exact same questions, and you use the arrow keys instead of the mouse to select things.
[06:57] <prince_jammys> l337ingDisorder: for dir in /mnt/Documents\ and\ Settings/*/Application\ Data/Thunderbird/Profiles/*/; do cp somefile "$dir"; done
[06:57] <holyguyver> n8tuser, Yes I know the commands are listed from that hint & as said I did it & read it the first time you gave it. But I do not want to make an ext3 filesystem. I was only asking about that because that is what Baughn told me to do. I actually want an ntfs filesystem, but he said I should not.
[06:57] <amh> hmmm.
[06:57] <Frosti> Flannel: perfect, thank you
[06:58] <l337ingDisorder> prince_jammys: awesome, thanks again :)
[06:58] <amh> so it's impossible to connect to a ubuntu machine remotely on wireless?
[06:58] <prince_jammys> l337ingDisorder: welcome
[06:58] <transporter> can somebody help me upgrade my alsa drivers?
[06:58] <holyguyver> Flannel, I asked Baughn if I could use gparted & he said that would not remap my harddrive.
[06:58] <l337ingDisorder> prince_jammys: that's much simpler than what I was trying ;)
[06:58] <jpablo> _Vi_: And I tried give permissions to the folder with chmod but said me "Read-only file system"
[06:58] <n8tuser> holyguyver-> im not going to be of help to you, as I told you disk recovery is not my expertise
[06:59] <transporter> can somebody help me to upgrade my alsa drivers
[07:00] <_Vi_> jpablo: did you add 'sudo' before chmod?
[07:00] <jpablo> _Vi_: Yes Sir
[07:00] <n8tuser> amh -> its very possible to connect remotely via wireless
[07:00] <_Vi_> !permissions | jpablo
[07:01] <amh> n8tuser : even if the ubuntu machine is on wireless?
[07:01] <n8tuser> amh-> absolutely
[07:01] <holyguyver> Flannel, as said I dropped my harddrive from 4 feet & I need to make it usable again even though it has thousands of bad sectors.
[07:01] <jpablo> I know give permission to folders and files
[07:01] <transporter> can somebody help me upgrade my alsa drivers
[07:01] <amh> n8tuser: everything i'm seeing says otherwise..  can you post a link?
[07:01] <Guest53378> i am having a problem getting a usb joystick to work. I have joystick installed, lsusb recognizes my device is there, but jscalibrator errors on open. any ideas how i tell it where my joystick is?
[07:02] <jpablo> but the systems dont leave me change the permissions
[07:02] <n8tuser> amh -> no need for a link, my host running ubuntu has wireless only connectivity and i can connect to it via another wireless
[07:02] <EwR> cd ~
[07:02] <l337ingDisorder> prince_jammys: Hmm your snippet still gives errors with directory names that have spaces in them..
[07:02] <DarkTerror> Hello ... I'm trying to install Ubuntu, but the install screen (first one, the black one with the logo) freezes everytime i execute any command (except 'boot from first hard disk') ... I had WinXP previously installed, i deleted the partition (from win setup cd), but didn't format it yet ... i'm running on a toshiba notebook .... any help ? :)
[07:03] <holyguyver> So Flannel are you able to help me?
[07:03] <tweak66> i am having a problem getting a usb joystick to work. I have joystick installed, lsusb recognizes my device is there, but jscalibrator errors on open. any ideas how i tell it where my joystick is? don't mean to repost but i changed my nick
[07:03] <n8tuser> amh-> what made you believe that wireless connectivity prevents you from connecting?
[07:03] <_Vi_> jpablo: hmm donno why it would do that exactly, there's not much you CANNOT do when you use 'sudo' before a command, :)
[07:03] <transporter> can somebody help me upgrade my alsa drivers
[07:03] <amh> n8tuser:  links like this. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/137247
[07:03] <tweak66> transporter: sudo apt-get update
[07:04] <Flannel> holyguyver: You'll use mke2fs and badblocks, not mke3fs
[07:04] <transporter> tweak66 tried that it doesn't upgrade my alsa drivers
[07:04] <n8tuser> amh that has nothing to do with using wireless eh? its the keyring being faulty
[07:04] <tweak66> !alsa
[07:04] <holyguyver> Alright Flannel can you PM me with the instructions?
[07:04] <darkham> hey people, why if i can install in my ubuntu other desktop environments with synaptic, i can install all the packages needed, but if i want uninstall, i can't uninstall all the packages?
[07:04] <Flannel> holyguyver: Also, the second paragraph mentions that you won't be calling badblocks directly, but you'll just specify the mke2fs flag.
[07:05] <amh> n8tuser: so i can access this server on wireless remotely if it's not set to auto login?
[07:05] <transporter> can somebody help me upgrade my alsa drivers
[07:05] <n8tuser> amh -> you seem to get the two confused, auto login and wireless are two different things
[07:05] <Tidus> darkham: use the package 'kubuntu-desktop' / 'xubuntu-desktop' to install all of them. aptitude will track the dep that way
[07:05] <Flannel> holyguyver: You'll use mke2fs with at least -c and -j (that tests for bad blocks and makes ext3, respectively)  as for the other options, you'll have to peruse the mke2fs man page yourself.  I'm not familiar with it.
[07:06] <amh> n8tuser: i know they are..  i was trying to use both together..  but it appears one cannot autologin and have it automaically connect to the wireless due to a keyring issue.
[07:06] <Knightrous> transporter: open a terminal, type "sudo apt get update" when it is done, type "sudo apt get upgrade" This will give you the latest updates.
[07:06] <holyguyver> Flannel, can you please PM me the instructions so that I can have them for as long as I need them?
[07:06] <darkham> Tidus, i try.
[07:06] <transporter> Knightrous: alright lemme try
[07:07] <Flannel> holyguyver: No, I don't know the instructions.  I just know you'll be using mke2fs with -c and -j
[07:07] <n8tuser> Flannel -> not to annoy you, but why are you telling the man to RTFM ? and yet when i advised him so you get furious?
[07:07] <Tidus> darkham: which desktop environment are you trying to remove?
[07:07] <amh> ok, now i've got a REAL problem..  i took off auto login and restarted...  now at the dekstop login i continuously get a "authentication failed" popup.. even though i havent typed in anything..  it looks like in the username it has "...".  how the heck to i get rid of this?
[07:07] <DarkTerror> Hello ... I'm trying to install Ubuntu, but the install screen (first one, the black one with the logo) freezes everytime i execute any command (except 'boot from first hard disk') ... I had WinXP previously installed, i deleted the partition (from win setup cd), but didn't format it yet ... i'm running on a toshiba notebook .... any help ? :) *sorry for repost
[07:07] <amh> nothing i do gets rid of the "authentication failed" popup. it just keeps... popoing up...
[07:07] <transporter> Knightrous: no it doesn't work
[07:07] <transporter> it does not upgrade my alsa
[07:07] <darkham> Tidus: xfce
[07:07] <holyguyver> Flannel, this was the command Baughn give me 'mke3fs -c /dev/sdg1'
[07:08] <Knightrous> transporter: Sorry, I typod.. Should be " type "sudo apt get update" when it is done, type "sudo apt get upgrade"
[07:08] <Flannel> n8tuser: The mannerism is entirely different.  You were offering no support at all besides "heres a list of commands, read their man pages"
[07:08] <holyguyver> Flannel, Baughn did not specify -j
[07:08] <Flannel> n8tuser: If you'd like to discuss it, you're welcome to come do so in #ubuntu-ops, but its offtopic for this channel.
[07:08] <jpablo> _Vi_: OK thanks...I have other err...When I tried reboot the system said me "An automatic file system check (fsck) of the root filesystem failed
[07:08] <Tidus> darkham: execute the command i am pming you
[07:08] <magikfingerz> DarkTerror, try passing parameter noapic, do you know how...? :)
[07:09] <Flannel> holyguyver: mke3fs doesn't exist.  mke2fs with -j makes an ext3 filesystem.
[07:09] <Knightrous> transporter: Sorry, i'm useless this afternoon. Type "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
[07:09] <transporter> huh
[07:09] <holyguyver> n8tuser, see read what flannel said, I was right :p
[07:09] <n8tuser> holyguyver-> you were wrong
[07:09] <amh> ugh...  can someone please assist with this authentication failed popup?  i have no way of getting around it :(
[07:10] <jpablo> _Vi_: "The root filesystem is currently mounted in read-only mode" and I cant began the system
[07:10] <holyguyver> n8tuser, how so? Flannel justr said that mke3fs does not exist.
[07:10] <chilli0> hello all
[07:10] <transporter> Knightrous: no it did not upgrade my alsa mixer
[07:10] <DarkTerror> @magukfingerz , i did pass noapic ... same thing happened.
[07:10] <Flannel> holyguyver: That's not really relevant at all.
[07:10] <n8tuser> holyguyver-> and you keep insisting to look for it
[07:10] <albuntu> ok an answer not related to ubuntu. can anyone tell me from their experience witch is better from the printers ? the laser or the inkjet ones. not from the price but for the colour they spend. less color , better printer for me. so thats the idea. thank you
[07:10] <Knightrous> transporter: That should update everything in your apt-source lists, you must already have the latest version of alsa :S
[07:10] <Flannel> albuntu: #ubuntu-offtopic, not ehere
[07:10] <chilli0> is there a program that wil make a restore disk of my courrent computer? as in ubuntu so i could reinstall ubuntu with all these programs and stuff
[07:11] <albuntu> Flannel: ok sorry
[07:11] <transporter> Knightrous: anywayz i need to go i need to have a bath
[07:11] <magikfingerz> DarkTerror, and you try:  noapic nolapic   too...? sometimes you require both... :)
[07:11] <holyguyver> n8tuser, No I did not insist on looking for it Flannel hust told me to use it.
[07:11] <n8tuser> !clone | chilli0
[07:11] <Tidus> n8tuser: mke3fs does NOT exist. the command to make an ext3 file system is mke2fs -j
[07:11] <holyguyver> n8tuser, I am only doing what Baughn  & Flannel  tells me to do.
[07:11] <n8tuser> Tidus-> i knew that, if you came in late, read back please
[07:12] <Flannel> holyguyver: Please drop it.  It's not important.
[07:12] <DarkTerror> @magikginerz, i actually selected noapic, nolapic, and acpi=off ... all 3 ... still didn't work.. should i try with just noapic and nolapic ?
[07:12] <holyguyver> Flannel, I am sorry but I disagree repairing this harddrive is important.
[07:12] <n8tuser> Tidus-> btw, thats not the only command to make an ext3 fs
[07:13] <amh> ok, so autologin screws a machine if it goes wrong.. f'ing great! ubuntu wins AGAIN! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6545833#post6545833
[07:13] <Hikeractive> chilli0, remastersys works well
[07:13] <MDARK> Bla bla
[07:13] <d0netsFN> hey how do i find what the hd#,# format of a partition is?
[07:13] <Flannel> amh: Please watch your language, and your tone.  You're welcome to get support here, but this is not a place for whining.
[07:13] <holyguyver> Flannel, & that is all that I am talking about, repairing my harddrive.
[07:13] <d0netsFN> im trying to fix my grub
[07:13] <n8tuser> Flannel-> he had drop it already by 4 feet last year..  <wink>
[07:13] <n8tuser> sorry off topic..
[07:14] <holyguyver> Flannel, n8tuser  is right I did drop it already by 4 feet a year & a half ago, that is what caused this problem
[07:14] <Gerdesas> holyguyver: what underlying file system is on that drive now?  Is it something you want to preserve or are you just wanting to make use of any non-damaged sectors on the device and do not care about what may be on that filesystem currently?
[07:14] <amh> Flannel: it seems there more arguing going on than helping :/
[07:14] <atom^x> holyguyver: go to HD mfg's website most have disk utilities for diagnostics/repairs
[07:15] <Hikeractive> this is a software support channel i believe
[07:15] <amh> can anyone assist with this autologin mishap?  it looks like im totally stuck. i disabled autologin now at the login screen i keep getting authentication failed without any chance of typing anytihng in.
[07:16] <n8tuser> amh-> what settings or configs you have changed?
[07:16] <holyguyver> Flannel I was not trying to belittle him, I was trying to let him know that I was fallowing his commands earlier, but they was dead ends, so I was trying to tell him that I was listening to him, but his instructions was faulty.
[07:16] <Knightrous> amh: Maybe you could boot from LIVECD and change the file back the way it was before you had this issue.
[07:16] <amh> n8tuser: i just removed the checkmark beside autologin to see what i could do remotely
[07:17] <amh> in gnome, i should add.
[07:17] <Boohbah> amh: can you login to the txt console as your user?
[07:17] <n8tuser> amh-> sorry am not a gui kind of tech,  which gui you been clicking?
[07:17] <amh> n8tuser: gnome.
[07:17] <amh> boohbah.  you mean from terminal?  command line?
[07:17] <uniquebox> Hi - What would be good choice for a PCI express Nvidia that would work well with a Wide screen LCD TV? Best I can set to and see whole desktop is 1024 X 768 @ 56Hz ? Currently using a Nvidia 7300GT .
[07:18] <n8tuser> amh-> try that, login via a console ctrl+alt+f1 to f6
[07:18] <uniquebox> If I try higher resolution - cuts off left side of picture.
[07:18] <amh> n8tuser: ok, that worked.
[07:18] <amh> im in command line.. logged in.
[07:19] <n8tuser> amh thats a good sign
[07:19] <amh> phew..
[07:19] <amh> what next :)
[07:19] <n8tuser> amh-> i dont know what a gnome icon does, i dont have one,, is that on the logon screen?
[07:20] <cbilljones> uniquebox, is your tv 1080P?
[07:20] <amh> n8tuser: not sure i understand the question?
[07:20] <uniquebox> Which is best for video display - Higher or lower Hz settin g ?
[07:20] <n8tuser> amh-> where do you see this gnome icon you speak of?
[07:20] <amh> n8tuser: no icon.  just a login sceen when i bootup.
[07:20] <uniquebox> cbilljones; Yes - It's a very nice LG.
[07:20] <amh> a gnome login screen that asks me to type in a user name..  it's all gUI.
[07:21] <n8tuser> amh then dont click on the autologin  leave it alone
[07:21] <uniquebox> Has HDMI input but had to use RGB standard moniter plug for input.
[07:21] <n8tuser> amh and then try to log on normally
[07:21] <j_> Hi.
[07:21] <cbilljones> uniquebox, are you using the restriced driver or the open source?
[07:21] <uniquebox> chilljones; Yes
[07:22] <amh> n8tuser: i dont get the chance anymore.  when i was logged into gnome i unchecked the autologin feature..  now i can't get anywhere when i reboot. it wont even let me login on the GUI,
[07:22] <uniquebox> cbilljones; It showed (3) different ones - Went with the one that said reccomended.
[07:22] <n8tuser> amh-> okay go back to loggin in via a console
[07:23] <cbilljones> uniquebox, are you using nvidia-settings to configure it?
[07:23] <Diehardy> Hello
[07:23] <j_> I am attempting to install Songbird, I've unzipped the tar.gz file, but I can't seem to use ./configure in the directory (It says no such file or directory).
[07:23] <amh> n8tuser: im at console, still logged in at console.
[07:23] <cbilljones> j_, is there an install file with directions?
[07:23] <n8tuser> amh hang a few, i have to check some
[07:24] <amh> n8tuser: ok
[07:24] <j_> There's a readme file, but it doesn't tell me anything...
[07:24] <uniquebox> cbilljones; Ah - think you have something there was using System/Preferences/Screen Resolution
[07:24] <atom^x> j_: try ./songbird
[07:24] <n8tuser> amh which ubuntu you have?
[07:24] <cbilljones> uniquebox, try nvidia-settings, see if you can do it with that
[07:25] <amh> n8tuser: 8.10
[07:25] <j_> AHA!
[07:25] <cbilljones> grr why cant everyone just use ./configure :(
[07:25] <uniquebox> cbilljones; Forgot where to look for that...
[07:26] <j_> I tried .songbird, but not ./songbird.
[07:26] <cbilljones> uniquebox, sys>admin>nvidia x sever settings
[07:26] <cbilljones> j_, there are .deb files for songbird!
[07:27] <uniquebox> cbilljones; yup found it right when you posted
[07:27] <cbilljones> uniquebox, sweet - hopefully that works for ya :), let me know
[07:27] <j_> Other than that, Ubuntu has made linux a dream to work with compared to three or four years ago...
[07:28] <cbilljones> j_, agreed
[07:28] <lucio12345> hello
[07:28] <n8tuser> amh  i dont see the autologin  with gconf-editor  hang fro a few more
[07:28] <atom^x> j_:cd to songbird dir ->type./songbird
[07:28] <sparr> I need an audio waveform/pattern generator for linux.  Suggestions?
[07:28] <lucio12345> how to set the cube faces?
[07:28] <uniquebox> cbilljones; ok reading different selections as of now. keep posted - thx
[07:28] <cbilljones> kk
[07:28] <lucio12345> i have compiz with the desktop cube but i have only 2 faces
[07:28] <lucio12345> how to add faces?
[07:28] <amh> n8tuseR:ok, im chilling waiting..  reading myself to see if i can see anytihng.
[07:28] <j_> atom, thanks, already did. It worked. :)
[07:28] <rsteckler> I'm getting odd advice in #linux and I'd like to double check, if no one minds.  I made a shell script that I want exectued at startup.  I threw it in init.d and did an rc-update, yadda yadda.  When I rebooted, I noticed that my script blocked all of the other startup scripts from running.  The advice is to throw a & at the end of my script to make it run background
[07:28] <rsteckler> but it seems odd that any script can just not exit, and the rest of the scripts are screwed and can't startup.
[07:29] <cbilljones> lucio, add more faces by setting pref in workplace switcher, you want 4 rows
[07:29] <atom^x> J_: ah, ok
[07:29] <emmy_> hey need some help
[07:29] <rsteckler> Why does it work that way?  And is & really the answer?
[07:29] <aegis> has anyone had any luck getting audio through HDMI?
[07:29] <Tidus> j_: http://www.getdeb.net/app/Songbird ... install that and you get a nice menu entry even :)
[07:30] <aegis> i've spent three days trying and only got as far as having aplay -l actually show the HDMI device...
[07:30] <Hikeractive> lucio12345, you have to add desktops in the general settings in ccsm i think
[07:30] <n8tuser> amh  i beleive you can remove  ~/.gconf   and then restart gdm
[07:30] <lucio12345> general settings ok let me see
[07:30] <lucio12345> thanks
[07:31] <emmy_> has anyone had trouble with like pinkish grain
[07:31] <emmy_> ???
[07:31] <amh> n8tuser: how does one remove it at command line?
[07:31] <cbilljones> lucio12345, all you need to do is rightclick workplace switcher on bottom right, pref, set it to 4 rows
[07:31] <lucio12345> i done it
[07:31] <Hikeractive> cbilljones, that doesnt work in compiz
[07:31] <lucio12345> i see 4 desktop panels but
[07:31] <cbilljones> do u have a cube now?
[07:31] <Wompa> can anyone help me troubleshoot refit on a macbook 4,1?
[07:31] <lucio12345> not the cuve
[07:31] <lucio12345> cube
[07:31] <Hikeractive> you must change it in general settings. done it many times.
[07:32] <n8tuser> amh -> hang a few
[07:32] <lucio12345> and only 2 desktops work
[07:32] <amh> apt-get remove xyz?
[07:32] <cbilljones> hikeractive, works for me :)
[07:32] <amh> ok.
[07:32] <lucio12345> i have 2x2 desktops
[07:32] <Hikeractive> cbilljones, could be certain cards
[07:32] <milk> hey
[07:32] <Hikeractive> lucio12345, are you in general and do you see desktops
[07:32] <milk> wassup?
[07:32] <Hikeractive> you need 4
[07:32] <milk> play cricket much?
[07:32] <Hikeractive> 4x1 works
[07:32] <cbilljones> hikeractive, i suppose it could be, but i've tested that on a lot of hardware
[07:32] <milk> wheres my fkn Jedi got to?
[07:33] <lucio12345> in the Workspace Switcher preferences i have columns=2 rows=2
[07:33] <n8tuser> amh-> that will not remove the autologin
[07:33] <industrialbs_> Quick question, if on boot i get the text disk sdb2 logical failure does that mean that the disk itself is fried, or did I just mess up the file system ?
[07:33] <cbilljones> lucio12345, you need 4 rows 1 colum
[07:33] <Hikeractive> lucio12345, i mean in compiz general settings
[07:33] <lucio12345> ah
[07:33] <lucio12345> oki
[07:33] <lucio12345> thanks
[07:33] <cbilljones> thatell fix ya :)
[07:33] <cbilljones> no problem
[07:33] <emmy_> : (
[07:33] <lucio12345> thanks a lot it works fine
[07:34] <cbilljones> :)
[07:34] <amh> n8tuser: i believe autologin is disabled..  but something is attempting to automate causing the login failure. not sure what it is...
[07:34] <cbilljones> lucio12345, im a compiz junkie :O
[07:34] <lucio12345> and to add desktop to the top of the cube is it possible?
[07:34] <amh> hell, is there a way to reenable autologin?  maybe i cant get back into gnome again.
[07:34] <gerber> why i can not see my other computer when i go to network ?
[07:34] <cbilljones> lucio12345, i dont think so, decoration only
[07:35] <lucio12345> ah
[07:35] <Hikeractive> amh you might be able to reinstall gdm
[07:35] <lucio12345> so a 2x2 is for what?
[07:35] <Hikeractive> reconfigure i mean
[07:35] <j_> This will almost replace my vista partition.
[07:35] <industrialbs_> alos how do I get the UUDI of a disk ?
[07:35] <industrialbs_> UUID *
[07:35] <gerber> why i can not see my other computer when i go to network ?
[07:35] <lucio12345> if i set 4x1 it works fine but for example 4x2 what does mean?
[07:35] <cbilljones> lucio12345, only really used if your not using cube, then you just have 4 desktops on a single plane
[07:35] <uniquebox> cbilljones; Looks like best res I can get is 1024 X 768 - It shows it is a LG 37LC2D-UE - Tried "Auto" but cut off top a little and could not see left side a little bit - Any idea's on settings?
[07:36] <Hikeractive> lucio12345, it doesn't play nice with compiz, thats all
[07:36] <lucio12345> ah oki
[07:36] <amh> do i need to be connected to the network to reinstall gdm? or are the files stored somewhere local?
[07:36] <cbilljones> uniquebox, what is the highest setting it offers?
[07:36] <uniquebox> cbilljones; hang a sec will see
[07:36] <lucio12345> bye
[07:36] <gerber> why i can not see my other computer when i go to network ?
[07:37] <cbilljones> cya lucio
[07:37] <Hikeractive> lucio12345, i like 2x2 as well on the panel, but compiz doesn't like me to have things the way i want them
[07:37] <xTheGoat121x> I have a question... I'm looking to set up the desktop switcher so it takes up less space on my panel... but everytime I try and switch it to a 2X2 display, I only get two desktops instead of 4
[07:37] <Hikeractive> ahm you could try sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm and see what happens
[07:37] <gerber> there is any body here who does well with NETWORK
[07:38] <emmy_> My video settings went back to factory default
[07:38] <emmy_> after a power failure. No my picture is horrible. Pink grain shows up in very bright areas of the picture. can anyone help me with this
[07:38] <Ademan> modprobe/rmmod can modify kernel modules while you're running, there's no need to restart, correct?  or is it common for some modules to leave cruft behind that may interfere with other modules? (especially in the case of device drivers)
[07:38] <gerber> there is any body here who does well with NETWORK
[07:38] <Ademan> !ask | gerber
[07:38] <tweak66> i am having a problem getting a usb joystick to work. I have joystick installed, lsusb recognizes my device is there, but jscalibrator errors on open. any ideas how i tell it where my joystick is?
[07:39] <cbilljones> gerber, whats the issue?
[07:39] <uniquebox> cbilljones; 1360X768 - Under " X Server Display Configuration "
[07:39] <gerber> why i can not see my other computer when i go to network ?
[07:39] <cbilljones> gerber, is samba installed?
[07:39] <gerber> YES
[07:39] <cbilljones> uniquebox, your connecting via component cable?
[07:40] <Ademan> tweak66: I'm not terribly knowlegable about such things, but are you running it via the command line to see any errors it dumps out?
[07:40] <cbilljones> gerber, is it a i=ubuntu bow or windowws your trying to access?
[07:40] <Stevethe1irate> Anyone got any ideas-- when booting ubuntu, after the scrolling orange bar, my system just chills and gives me the BusyBox/Ash CLI... what could be the problem?
[07:40] <j_> thanks for your help.
[07:40] <gerber> from ubuntu to win xp
[07:40] <tweak66> ademan : yes.. i'm not getting any errors is the strange part
[07:40] <Ademan> tweak66: /var/log/syslog ?
[07:40] <cbilljones> gerber, i think it may be XP firewall, is that on?
[07:41] <gerber> yes
[07:41]  * delcoyote buenos dias
[07:41] <Ademan> stuff from jscalibrator wouldn't be there, but maybe other relevant things would be
[07:41] <Tidus> gerber: it's because your workgroup settings in the 'connect to server' box isn't set to the same as your windows machine
[07:41] <cbilljones> gerber, turn off windows firewall and try
[07:41] <tweak66> lol it recognizes the joystick in the syslog and messages
[07:41] <Ademan> :-/
[07:41] <|GaiJin|> I am trying to install a PPA resipitory, but after editing the source.list file, i get an error telling me it cannot verify the code... how can i fix this?
[07:41] <uniquebox> cbilljones; Connecting with regular RGB casble - my video card has DVI & S-Video out - but looks like LG only has - RGB in and S-Video in - the S-Video would be better - Don't see a DVI input?
[07:42] <Ademan> |GaiJin|: if the PPA has a public key you can recognize it as a "trusted" source
[07:42] <Ademan> |GaiJin|: but i don't think most PPAs do...
[07:42] <Hikeractive> otherwise, you can ignore it
[07:42] <gerber> from xp i can see all my computer ,but no ubunto
[07:42] <Ademan> indeed
[07:42] <cbilljones> RGB should be fine, your sure its 1080P and not 720P?
[07:42] <|GaiJin|> W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 4874D3686E80C6B7
[07:42] <Ademan> |GaiJin|: yeah...
[07:42] <uniquebox> cbilljones; I meant to ask would s-video be better to use?
[07:42] <gerber> where you put mshome in ubuntu
[07:43] <|GaiJin|> is there a way i can work around it??
[07:43] <gerber> ?
[07:43] <cbilljones> uniquebox, no s-video is analog
[07:43] <Hikeractive> |GaiJin|, you can ignore it, but be mindful of what you're installing. Not unless they have a public key.
[07:43] <Ademan> |GaiJin|: that just means that the PPA isn't trusted, it's a warning not an error, so you can proceed
[07:43] <|GaiJin|> oki
[07:43] <uniquebox> cbilljones; That what I thought so just went to the reg. rgb
[07:43] <Vinceman> is there a fullproof way of avoiding important data loss when upgrading your OS or installing the updates?
[07:44] <Hikeractive> backup
[07:44] <cbilljones> uniquebox, RGB is high-def so it should detect it
[07:44] <Hikeractive> thats the only fullproof way
[07:44] <Vinceman> but what about e-mail-inboxes etc...
[07:44] <Hikeractive> email on your computer?
[07:44] <|GaiJin|> thanks
[07:44] <Vinceman> yes
[07:44] <gerber> from xp i can see all my computer ,but no ubunto
[07:44] <Hikeractive> you can back them up as well
[07:44] <Stevethe1irate> Anyone got any ideas-- when booting ubuntu, after the scrolling orange bar, my system just chills and gives me the BusyBox/Ash CLI... what could be the problem?
[07:44] <uniquebox> cbilljones; umm - maybe different nvidia - using 7300gt now?
[07:44] <Vinceman> it should all be on servers anno 2009?
[07:44] <cbilljones> uniquebox, some peeps think they have 1080P but they actually have 720P, whats the make/model of the tv?
[07:45] <gerber> where you put mshome in ubuntu
[07:45] <Snupt> hello. Can Evolution use NNTP News?
[07:45] <Stevethe1irate> lol
[07:45] <Stevethe1irate> you dont gerber
[07:45] <Vinceman> what's funny?
[07:45] <Vinceman> oh
[07:45] <Vinceman> ms and ubuntu are like fire and water, aren't they?
[07:45] <gerber> so what can i do ?
[07:45] <Ademan> Stevethe1irate: I don't remember the file, might be /var/log/syslog as well, but there should be an error report somewhere in that little filesystem
[07:46] <uniquebox> cbilljones; ah that rings a bell - now that you mentioned it that way - I believe I got this on sale and it is only 720..... bummers huh?
[07:46] <Ademan> Stevethe1irate: if you're comfortable with the command line you should be able to find it, if not, i can try and give you a little help
[07:46] <gerber> from xp i can see all my computer ,but no ubunto
[07:46] <cbilljones> uniquebox, ya were in the same boat, mine is 720P too, thats all we get :(
[07:47] <cbilljones> gerber, have you shared anything from ubuntu?
[07:47] <atom^x> gerber, you have the workgroup setup in samba?
[07:47] <amh> how do i connect to a wireless network at commandline?
[07:47] <Ademan> amh: i think iwconfig is what you want
[07:48] <lgc> How can I safely do away with all old kernel versions?
[07:48] <Hikeractive> but if you use wpa security, it's a pain
[07:48] <gerber> how can i setup in samba my workgroup?
[07:48] <cbilljones> gerber, share something on ubuntu and try to access manually from windows using \\box-name\share
[07:48] <bullgard4> Why does the ifconfig command in its output select the word 'Link encap' and not the word 'type of interface'?
[07:48] <gerber> how can i setup in samba my workgroup?

[07:54] <Flannel> amh: ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage, removing it doesn't do a whole lot
[07:54] <amh> flannel: can you assist me with my autologin problem?  i just got a new puppy and i'd much rather be spending time with her over this :(
[07:55] <gerber> cbilljones see private
[07:55] <Flannel> amh: I'm no good at very many GUI related issues, sorry.
[07:55] <koshari> lgc i suspect it will stay there until you edit menu.1st or run grub upfdate (if the removal process doesnt already)
[07:55] <amh> is there anyone that can please help me?
[07:56] <emmy_> anyone help
[07:56] <emmy_> !!!!!!!!!!
[07:56] <koshari> amh auto login, sys > admin . login > security
[07:57] <amh> flannel: maybe you can help me with this.  via commandline, how can i connect to my wireless network. it looks like the card is at wlan0
[07:57] <amh> koshari: i'm unable to log into gnome because autologin is screwed for some reason.
[07:57] <Peddy> hi, I wants to put something on my apache server that allows people to see a page with all of the files in it, so it says 'Index of...' and a list of all the files:  How would I do this? Thanks.
[07:58] <koshari> amh can you log in normally?
[07:58] <amh> koshari: unfortunately not. i unchecked auto login and now when i get to the gnome login screen it automatically says authentication failed.  i can't do anything.
[07:59] <theatrus> Peddy, you can either change the server config, or add an .htaccess file
[07:59] <koshari> Peddy just place a file called index.html with links to all the files, otherwise sometimes if you just have a subdir with files the browser may just render the filenames
[08:00] <Peddy> thanks koshari and theatrus
[08:00] <|GaiJin|> how do one get read/write permissions to VHBA character control device
[08:00] <Flannel> Peddy: Indexes should be turned on by default, so any directory you view (that doesn't have an index.* file) will display a listing
[08:00] <theatrus> Peddy, the .htaccess should contain "Options +Indexes"
[08:00] <cq> hello, I jst set up an LVM an d am testing it by mounting /tmp, but fsck fails to check the logical volume (ext3) ... any ideas what fsck wants/needs? tmp is specified with a UUID in /etc/fstab
[08:00] <Peddy> ok
[08:00] <Flannel> amh: Try switching to ctrl-alt-f1, logging in, then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop, then 'startx'
[08:01] <cq> the system then drops to a maintenance shell, and when I exit that boot is normal and /tmp is not mounted
[08:02] <amh> Flannel: tried that. that screen is all screwy... i see a mouse cursor and hear the harddrive going...
[08:02] <amh> oh, wait!
[08:02] <TimReichhart> could somebody tell me the channel for networking?
[08:02] <amh> i see desktop
[08:02] <amh> !!!
[08:03] <amh> *fingers crossed*
[08:04] <amh> flannel: im back in!

[08:05] <TimReichhart> well its not a problem I just got couple questions how to setup IPTV and linking my internet to my dads internet
[08:05] <werdnum> TimReichhart: you mean PTV? That only exists in Family Guy
[08:06] <didar> whoaa.. good gried
[08:06] <TimReichhart> no its IPTV
[08:06] <TimReichhart> internet over protol tv
[08:06] <TimReichhart> IPTV (Internet Protocol Television)
[08:06] <Ademan> can i prevent modules from being loaded in the livecd?
[08:07] <xjkx> ﻿i activated something here which i am not sure what it is, and i don't know how to leave. the scren is all big, like zoom, and pressing control alt - it zooms out, and control alt + it zooms in, but i wanna leave this kind of screen
[08:07] <hno> How do I fix this? W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY D702BF6B8C6C1EFDW: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
[08:08] <hno> on apt-get update..
[08:08] <hno> I guess it's related to launchpad bug #125103.
[08:08] <Ademan> hno: it's a warning not an error, it means that the repository isn't trusted by your system (in order to officially trust it you need to add their public key, which ppas don't usually have)
[08:09] <Ademan> hno: if you are confident that the ppa is safe you can ignore that warning
[08:09]  * Ethos part ubuntu
[08:10] <hno> Ademan: There is a gpg key-id in that warning...
[08:11] <TimReichhart> see this is what I want to do http://images.videolan.org/images/documentation/global-diagram.jpg but using IPTV set top box at my dads house
[08:11] <mathijs> Hi all, I'm trying to connect to another X11 server (so I want client applications on my machine to display on a screen attached on another machine). I don't want to enable tcp on the remote server, so I need to connect to the unix-socket over there. How can I do this?
[08:12] <werdnum> mathijs: just use X forwarding :)
[08:12] <werdnum> ssh -X my_host
[08:13] <mathijs> werdnum: read again
[08:13] <mathijs> that's the other way around
[08:13] <werdnum> Well you can't connect a unix socket between machines
[08:13] <werdnum> If it is possible, it would have to be over some other transport
[08:13] <mathijs> like socat?
[08:13] <mathijs> or ssh?
[08:13] <werdnum> socat would establish a tcp connection...
[08:14] <werdnum> ssh -X is the 'standard' way to do what you want to do
[08:14] <mathijs> yeah but then I need to connect to the server and ssh back to my machine
[08:14] <tobago> how to create a keyboard shortcut for gnome-do?
[08:14] <cbilljones> night all

[08:17] <Peddy> What do I need to do to ssh into my friend's machine? He's installed openssh-server, and I'm doing ssh <his_ip>. Is there anything else we need to do?
[08:17] <Peddy> He's also forwarded port 22 from his router.
[08:18] <amh> so i finally got into gnome by ctrl+alt+f1. i ran sudo etc/init.d/gdm stop  than startx   . this got me back to the desktop. when i try to check my login settings i see something that says "GDM is not running" blah blah blah.    what gives?
[08:18] <scizzo-> Peddy: you are not telling us what happens when you try to ssh to his machine
[08:18] <scizzo-> Peddy: hard to know exactly what to help you with without knowing what happens
[08:18] <Peddy> scizzo-, sorry, it just hangs and doesn't connect.

[08:43] <Flannel> hno: Which package?
[08:43] <hno> bzr
[08:43] <hno> "The following packages have been kept back: bzr"
[08:43] <Flannel> hno: Did you add a third party repo?  Which one?
[08:43] <magicsrv> Does anyone know how to install cyrillic keyboard layout WIHTOUT turning my ubuntu in Bulgarian? It happened when I tried it on ubuntu 8.04
[08:43] <hno> Flannel: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bzr/ubuntu hardy main
[08:44] <Flannel> hno: Ah, well, try installing bzr, (sudo apt-get bzr) see what error it gives you, if any.
[08:45] <hno> Flannel: Thanks. That got me on track. Conflict with bzrtools. Missing a apt source it seems..
[08:46] <hno> Or actually, the bzr people hasn't updated bzrtools in their ppa repository yet.. oh well.

[08:49] <MiladKhajavi> HELP: how can I create iso from a directory?
[08:50] <Slart_> MiladKhajavi: doesn't brasero have some kind of "burn to image"-option?
[08:50] <bsusa> hello all, is their a way of setting the priority of a program to run on boot?
[08:50] <Slart_> MiladKhajavi: also look at "mkisofs"
[08:51] <Slart_> bsusa: you can always use "renice" to change the priority later
[08:51] <MiladKhajavi> Slart_: mkisofs dosnt work for me
[08:51] <MiladKhajavi> Slart_: I: -input-charset not specified, using utf-8 (detected in locale settings)
[08:52] <Slart_> MiladKhajavi: that doesn't look like an error to me..
[08:52] <bsusa> i need it at startup though
[08:52] <bsusa> what i want to do is have my wireless card connected before it runs the MythTv Frontend
[08:52] <MiladKhajavi> Slart_ mkisofs -o /home/mydirectory myiso.iso
[08:53] <Tidus> bsusa: if it's a mythtv frontend that you're not moving around, it is possible to remove NetworkManager and use the old-style debian /etc/network/interfaces
[08:53] <MiladKhajavi> can any one say how to create iso from directory with mkisofs
[08:53] <MiladKhajavi> ?
[08:53] <Slart_> MiladKhajavi: that's all the output you get?
[08:54] <MiladKhajavi> slart_ ys
[08:54] <MiladKhajavi> yes
[08:54] <bsusa> is their a way to do it at startup
[08:55] <hno> MiladKhajavi: mkisofs -o image.iso -r -J -V "Title of ISO" /path/to/directory

[08:55] <bsusa> i looked in the Sessions section where you can change the order of the processes but every time i reboot it goes back to default
[08:56] <Tidus> bsusa: i would look into removing NetworkManager and using the old-style /etc/network/interfaces file
[08:56] <naddix> im not sure what lang this is
[08:56] <MiladKhajavi> hno: tanks a lot
[08:56] <naddix> so anyone

[09:00] <AprilHare> hello. I have a USB harddisk that I want to mount upon insertion; at the moment, it needs to be mounted through GNOME. Is there a way to force mount upon insertion?
[09:00] <ChrisBuchholz> I can't import my GPG key for Code of Conduct on launchpad. I have created on, then i do "gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --send-keys" and then gpg --fingerprint, copy and paste to launchpad but then i get the message that launchpad couldn't import the key. It also says it can be because the server haven't synkronized yet, but it's 11 hours since i send the key to the server
[09:01] <sinan> what package installs the header "X11/xlib.h" ?
[09:02] <madsj> AprilHare: That's odd, my usb key gets mounted automatically a few minutes after inserting it; try adding exec to the options-part in /etc/fstab
[09:02] <Slart_> sinan: use apt-file
[09:02] <naddix> not nice
[09:03] <bsusa> is it possible to write a script to delay a program from running on start up for like 5 seconds or so?
[09:03] <AprilHare> madsj, the harddisk is not referred to in /etc/fstab - FUSE is handling it?
[09:03] <AprilHare> usb harddisk
[09:04] <emmy_> my screen is all pink and grainy snyone know ow to fix it
[09:04] <Slart_> sinan: and it might be called Xlib.h , case sensitivity can mess things up
[09:04] <stdin> !xlibs
[09:04] <Slart_> bsusa: you could add a "sleep 5" in the beginning of the script
[09:04] <sinan> Slart_: thank you, installing apt-file :) seems to be very handy !
[09:04] <AprilHare> emmy_, what caused it to turn pink and grainy? has it always been like that?

[09:20] <NickEd> but there is an installl command on the LiveCDs
[09:20] <NickEd> that will to do the work
[09:20] <cbilljones> NickEd, try hitting ctrl+alt+backspace see if your desktop loads after that
[09:21] <fallore> NickEd: 300 was an illegal time value?
[09:21] <NickEd> I got a alow inet connection
[09:21] <pc03> emmy hallo
[09:21] <NickEd> fallore try shutdown --help
[09:21] <pc03> heeeeeeeeeeyyyyyy
[09:21] <Slart> fallore: you've read man shutdown info, right?
[09:21] <emmy_> Slart is an aspire acer
[09:21] <Slart> pc03: easy now.. easy on the sugar for a while
[09:21] <fallore> i'm doing that now, i think i've got it from here
[09:22] <NickEd> Yea
[09:22] <emmy_> pc03 hi
[09:22] <pc03> wuyyyyyyyy
[09:22] <Slart> fallore: you need to write the time as 13:15 or similar.. or use one of the other alternatives listed in the man page
[09:22] <ChrisBuchholz> I can't import my GPG key for Code of Conduct on launchpad. I have created on, then i do "gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --send-keys" and then gpg --fingerprint, copy and paste to launchpad but then i get the message that launchpad couldn't import the key. It also says it can be because the server haven't synkronized yet, but it's 11 hours since i send the key to the server. Have I done something wrong, and how do i fix it?
[09:22] <NickEd> ok cbil, will try that
[09:23] <stdin> ChrisBuchholz: did you add your key ID after --send-keys ?
[09:23] <Slart> emmy_: can you take a screenshot and see if the weird stuff you're seeing on the screen ends  up on the screenshot too?
[09:24] <NickEd> Hey cbil...can you please find some documentation on that command?
[09:24] <cbilljones> NickEd, it works for me sometimes
[09:24] <emmy_> Slart: and how do i send it to you
[09:24] <NickEd> O
[09:24] <emmy_> ???
[09:24] <ChrisBuchholz> stdin: nope
[09:24] <ChrisBuchholz> stdin: would i have to?
[09:24] <Slart> emmy_: just look at it yourself first.. see if it looks normal or not
[09:24] <stdin> ChrisBuchholz: yes
[09:24] <cbilljones> NickEd, its ctrl+alt+backspace, it just brings you back to login screen
[09:24] <ChrisBuchholz> stdin: oh, i fill silly:D
[09:25] <stdin> ChrisBuchholz: you can use the key ID or the fingerprint
[09:25] <NickEd> Yes I think Alt+F2 or F3 will do the same
[09:25] <emmy_> Slart it still has the grains
[09:25] <NickEd> thing
[09:25] <NickEd> I can reach CUI
[09:25] <cbilljones> Alt+f2 is brings up a run box
[09:25] <Slart> emmy_: good, can you can upload it to imageshack.us or something like that and give me the url?
[09:25] <ChrisBuchholz> stdin: it worked, thank you!
[09:26] <cbilljones> alt+f3 is nothing
[09:26] <stdin> :)
[09:26] <NickEd> It brings me to the CUI in my case
[09:26] <NickEd> Alt + f2
[09:26] <NickEd> not sure abt f3
[09:26] <NickEd> after that IO have only one option
[09:26] <NickEd> I
[09:26] <NickEd> install command
[09:26] <quibbler> !enter
[09:26] <NickEd> and the help scrolls
[09:27] <cbilljones> NickEd, ya i would go alternate then
[09:27] <NickEd> haha.....theres no other way????
[09:27] <NickEd> OK
[09:27] <NickEd> Thanks
[09:27] <cbilljones> there may be, but i dont know it :(
[09:27] <NickEd> OK ...thanks :)
[09:28] <RazlogNET> Hey, guys! My laptop battery got depleted and my PC shutdown instantly... and now my ubuntu 8.10 doesn't find any boot records... I got some error msg and "grub >" command line
[09:30] <cbilljones> RazlogNET, sounds like grub got fried, you can remap it from a live cd, see this thread: http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-restore-grub-in-ubuntu/2008/04/11
[09:31] <achilles> hello, I have a serious problem, when I halt my computer, it shuts down the services, and power off the leds, but it keep signaling the monitor saying "halt: unable to iterate IDE devices: No such file or directory 58.576030 Power Down." and the power led is off but the devices still running and also the screen
[09:32] <flea> achilles, u might have a virus
[09:33] <capiira> lol
[09:33] <cbilljones> wow is there a linux virus thats around?
[09:34] <Slart> flea: do you have any kind of reason to believe it's a virus? your use of "u" puts you in the "bored 9-year old" category so you've got to back up your claims a bit more to be believable
[09:34] <flea> im very bored and http://palincenter.com
[09:34] <Slart> !ops | flea
[09:35] <cbilljones> achilles, are you doing a proper shutdown?
[09:35] <flea> bye?
[09:35] <zaggynl> 180!
[09:35] <elkbuntu> that's all. move along now.
[09:35] <Slart> thanks, elkbuntu
[09:36] <Slart> achilles: searching google for that error message there seems to be a couple of bugs in pm-utils.. have you looked at those?
[09:37] <emmy_> Slart: file:///home/kezia/Desktop/%3B%20((
[09:38] <simion314> What would you do next if you do not have networking(dinamic IP), when i use dhclient i get this http://pastebin.com/d2c1711a8 ? i have no ideea what to try(i disabled the networkmanager but no luck
[09:38] <cbilljones> achilles, this thread may be the solution: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=699506
[09:38] <Slart> emmy_: ah.. that won't work.. I can't access your computer over the internet (and that's a good thing =).. use http://imageshack.us and upload the picture there
[09:38] <emmy_> i cant
[09:39] <Slart> emmy_: the page isn't working for you?
[09:39] <emmy_> Slart for some reason it wont let me
[09:39] <digitalgheko> can someone point me in the right direction to get to the kernel rebuild/update docs please...?
[09:39] <Slart> emmy_: try http://imgshare.us/ , see if it works better for you
[09:40] <simion314> digitalgheko: why you need that?
[09:41] <RazlogNET> Hey, guys! My laptop battery got depleted and my PC shutdown instantly... and now my ubuntu 8.10 doesn't find any boot records... I got some error msg and "grub >" command line
[09:41] <RazlogNET> P.S. I Don't have USB
[09:41] <cbilljones> RazlogNET, did you see my post above?
[09:42] <simion314> digitalgheko: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[09:42] <cbilljones> i said: RazlogNET, sounds like grub got fried, you can remap it from a live cd, see this thread: http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-restore-grub-in-ubuntu/2008/04/11
[09:42] <digitalgheko> thanks a lot simion314, =]
[09:42] <amh> can anyone tell me what i need to do in ubuntu to allow me to connect to my ubuntu machine via vnc at the login window?
[09:42] <simion314> digitalgheko: you do not said why you need it?
[09:43] <amh> i'm trying now.. but it looks like i need to be logged into ubuntu first before vnc can connect to it remotely.
[09:43] <cbilljones> amh, i would like to know as well
[09:43] <amh> someone here said earlier that it could be done.
[09:43] <Ademan> is there any way to blacklist modules for the ubuntu livecd? i need to prevent a few modules from being loaded
[09:44] <digitalgheko> simion314, just playing around / testing... learning stuff =]
[09:44] <APALAH_ARTINYA_N> grygyggy
[09:44] <gordonjcp> amh: I'm not sure that you can
[09:44] <RazlogNET> cbilljones I don't have grub problems, grub is all that starts
[09:44] <gordonjcp> amh: do you need to do it that way?
[09:44] <Slart> amh: what vnc server are you using?
[09:44] <amh> does anyone know of any remote app that i can?  i need to use this ubuntu machine on wireless without a monitor..
[09:44] <RazlogNET> cbilljones and I don't have usb flashdrive
[09:44] <amh> slart. i think it's vino or something?
[09:44] <simion314> digitalgheko: if you try to optimize it for your hardware, i tried that too
[09:45] <Ademan> amh: freeNX is incredibly fast and operates over ssh, you might check that out
[09:45] <digitalgheko> cool thanks mate
[09:45] <cbilljones> RazlogNET, does it give an error? and do you have a cd drive and live cd?
[09:45] <amh> ademan: does it work with vnc?
[09:45] <Slart> amh: let me try something.. if it works I'll get back to you
[09:45] <Ademan> amh: no it's totally separate from vnc
[09:45] <amh> ok, thanks slart
[09:45] <cbilljones> im waiting to slart :)
[09:45] <Ademan> why do you need to use vnc?
[09:45] <amh> ademan: i'd like to reduce the amount of remote clients i use :)
[09:45] <RazlogNET> cbilljones error is smthn like "Couldn't find boot blah-blah..." don't have rescue disk
[09:45] <Ademan> haha
[09:46] <cbilljones> RazlogNET, the blah blah blah part would help :)
[09:46] <simion314> digitalgheko: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/18/203 fot optimizing your kernel, builld modules in the kernel
[09:46] <Ademan> too bad, because like i said, FreeNX is amazingly fast.  My upload and download speed both suck, and I was able to connect to a home computer at a friends house, and the only real way I could tell it wasn't local (it was really that fast!) was because it was bounded inside another window
[09:47] <RazlogNET> cbilljones I have to reboot, write it down on a piece of paper, reboot and type it down in order to get the blah-blah to your screen...
[09:47] <RazlogNET> cbilljones I'll do it, so wait up! :)
[09:47] <digitalgheko> simion314, awesome stuff mate; thanks! =]

[09:56] <cbilljones> hello
[09:56] <Peddy> Hi, I can't boot anymore. Whenever I start my computer, GDM doesn't start, and I just go to a shell. Doing /etc/init.d/gdm restart doesn't do anything. Cam anyone please help me?
[09:56] <error404notfound> are there any good laconica clients for ubuntu?
[09:57] <Securitron> What is a laconia client?

[09:57] <FloodBot2> emmy_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:58] <RazlogNET> cbilljones http://fpaste.org/paste/2317 - the blah blah part
[09:58] <cbilljones> k looking
[09:58] <Securitron> Just a lot of joining and leaving in here.
[10:00] <emmy_> Slart img src="http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/3061/screenshotar0.th.p
[10:00] <Slart> emmy_: hmm.. nothing weird on that image.. so I guess it's only on your screen you get these pink things... it was an acer aspire? do you have a  model number?
[10:00] <RazlogNET> cbilljones - the more accurate ver: http://fpaste.org/paste/2318
[10:01] <calliope> ok so now im just  starting the update from 8.04 to 8.10
[10:01] <emmy_> Slart: yes an acer model# zl5
[10:02] <cbilljones> RazlogNet, im afraid im lost, can anyone else have a look?
[10:02] <Securitron> I'm liking 8.10 very much
[10:03] <cbilljones> RazlogNET from what i can tell the kernal is not initializing
[10:03] <cq> how can I mount LVMs under the live 8.10 boot? I apt-get installed lvm2, but it's complaining about device-mapper not being there...
[10:03] <RazlogNET> cbilljones considering my ubuntu is installed "Inside Windows" is a throuh-windows repair possible, or editing what must be eddited or... ?
[10:03] <puria> salam
[10:04] <cbilljones> RazlogNET, oh u used wubi eh, unfortunately ive never used it, so someone else should prob help
[10:05] <cbilljones> RazlogNET, i think it can prob be repaired form withen windows, does the wubi installer offer any repair options?
[10:06] <RazlogNET> cbilljones nope, just new installation... I wonder what will happen if I install it again, replacing the old installation...
[10:06] <RazlogNET> Couldn't get any worse, right? :D
[10:06] <sabrebutt> You could lose any data in ubuntu
[10:06] <cbilljones> RazlogNET, that will work, just dlete it and install to the same space
[10:07] <cbilljones> you will lose the data though
[10:07] <RazlogNET> cbilljones I will loose everything installed within, right? :D
[10:07] <cbilljones> ya...
[10:08] <cbilljones> RazlogNET anything important there?  may have a solution
[10:08] <RazlogNET> cbilljones couldn't say so... I installed it like... 10 days ago, but the updates take forever...
[10:09] <RazlogNET> And that's what I'm trying to avoid, besides - to know how to fix it may prevent loss of information in future ;)
[10:09] <cbilljones> well it updates faster than windows, look at the bright side :O
[10:09] <emmy__> Slart: yes an acer model#zl5
[10:09] <cbilljones> there may be a fix, keep spamming the problem a bit
[10:09] <enovativ> what do you all think of KVM
[10:11] <Slart> emmy__: are you sure it's called z15? I didn't find anything while googling
[10:11] <RazlogNET> cbilljones maybe I will... I'll try using help at my country's servers... hope theres s.o. whos got the problem
[10:11] <Slart> amh: ok.. I've been playing with my vm's now.. you can start vnc server without running X or even having a user logged on
[10:11] <cbilljones> RazlogNET, ok goodluck, im going to try to sleep again :)
[10:11] <emmy__> Slart maybe aspire 3000 series try that
[10:11] <RazlogNET> ;-)
[10:11] <RazlogNET> ty
[10:13] <Slart> emmy__: hmm.. according to most webpages ubuntu should work without any problems on that model..is it the same if you run the installer cd? does windows work on it?
[10:13] <cq> how cna I boot to init level 1 from GRUB?
[10:14] <Slart> amh: I haven't managed to make vncserver start at the boot.. I've only tried starting it from /etc/rc.local so far... there might be other ways that work better
[10:14] <archandrei> #join /ubuntu.ru
[10:15] <emmy__> Slart: it works perfect on windows. the thing that i dont get is that its grainy pinkish thing doesnt come up till it gets to the login page when its staring up it looks perfect but then login page comes and it gets screwed
[10:15] <Slart> amh: but so far I've managed to connect via ssh and then starting the vnc server from there.. then I can connect
[10:18] <emmy__> Slart: thanks for trying : )
[10:18] <Slart> emmy__: that might be that the first splash screen uses vesa or similar.. and then it switches to the intel graphics driver when it's time to login.. it might just be a bug in that driver
[10:19] <emmy__> BYE goodnite
[10:19] <Slart> emmy__: bye

[10:36] <patterson> well i thought it were named "term"
[10:37] <wxl> but many of them can not run well in my system,because i use chinese ubuntu
[10:37] <patterson> we are going to start over on wednesday anyway
[10:39] <tavi> hello
[10:39] <tavi> i have a problem
[10:39] <tavi> i try to watch something and asc for flash adobe
[10:39] <tavi> ask
[10:39] <Slart> wxl: why not ask in #ubuntu-cn if anyone there has found anything useful for chinese systems?
[10:39] <tavi> and i tried to install latest version
[10:39] <tavi> Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.15.3 and says that is already installed
[10:39] <tavi> so what's the problem?
[10:40] <wxl> is there anyone who is interest in chinese?
[10:40] <Wolv3> #kubuntu-es
[10:40] <Slart> tavi: well.. first of all you seem to have a tendency to press enter way too often..about the flash problem.. does youtube work?
[10:40] <wxl> i want to make some foregin friends .
[10:40] <tavi> youtube yes
[10:41] <tavi> but what i wach is froma site
[10:41] <Slart> tavi: remember.. keep that finger off the enter button until you are finished. There is a button with a dot on it.. use that instead
[10:42] <fixnum> Hello, is it possible to load the graphical file manager with its path set to the current directory of the command line shell?
[10:42] <tavi> well forget the finger
[10:42] <tavi> what's the problem?
[10:42] <tavi> and not only to that site other ask me that too
[10:42] <Slart> tavi: if youtube works then you probably have flash installed correctly. It might be the site that is broken.
[10:43] <tavi> no
[10:43] <tavi> is the top gear site
[10:43] <tavi> so hasn't to be broken
[10:43] <Slart> tavi: well.. I guess
[10:43] <Slart> tavi: even the top
[10:43] <wxl> Slart:okey
[10:43] <Slart> tavi: gear site can be broen
[10:43] <tavi> i doubt
[10:43] <tavi> they are a big firm
[10:44] <tavi> and says either you have not flash player either you have java disabled
[10:44] <tavi> Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player.
[10:44] <Slart> tavi: ok.. you'll have to find someone else to help you.. I'm not kidding about the <enter> stuff
[10:44] <tavi> this is the exact word
[10:45] <tavi> come on
[10:45] <phorensic> fixnum: yes there is
[10:45] <tavi> for that a small thing?
[10:45] <Slart> tavi: think about it.. you want help and you're not even willing to do that small thing.. then why should I give you my free time
[10:45] <phorensic> fixnum: you would do a gksudo nautilus /path/name
[10:45] <tavi> don't know
[10:46] <tavi> maibe i stop to use ubuntu
[10:46] <tavi> you don't wanna lose a user
[10:46] <Slart> tavi: oh no.. please don't threaten to stop using ubuntu.. however will I make it through the day?..
[10:46] <tavi> ?
[10:47] <tavi> i dpn't understand  however will i make it thougut the day?
[10:47] <phorensic> made sense to me
[10:47] <Slart> tavi: I'm going to stop talking to you while I'm still in a good mood.. please talk to someone else
[10:47] <phorensic> ie hes not going to lose any sleep if you don't use ubuntu
[10:48] <fixnum> phorensic, that worked but i had to manually type the path.
[10:48] <phorensic> fixnum: yes i know
[10:48] <elkbuntu> tavi, threatening to stop using ubuntu will not get you any sympathy, and is just a waste of time
[10:48] <fixnum> maybe i should use pwd.
[10:48] <tavi> well i agree ...morons i do not speak
[10:48] <nicola_> my ubuntu is very slow
[10:48] <tavi> elkbuntu: i do not search symphaty
[10:48] <nicola_> hi
[10:48] <phorensic> fixnum: maybe there is a way to pipe the output of pwd into the sudo nautilus XXX ?
[10:48] <Securitron> Quick question, I have to type sudo modprobe wacom every time I want to use the tablet feature of my laptop after every reboot. Is there a way to automate this on startup?
[10:48] <nicola_> pleae help me
[10:49] <tavi> he says he don't speak to me
[10:49] <Chantre> i want to ask something; i use ubuntu fo 3 months and today at startup it asks password for network manager applet
[10:49] <elkbuntu> tavi, it doesnt achieve anything else either.
[10:49] <patterson> the bit in iwconfig about ESSID: Nickname:"" means the wifi driver is working ?
[10:49] <tavi> and i gave hima reason
[10:49] <Chantre> but why
[10:49] <Chantre> ?
[10:49] <tavi> well achieve to me..i find another person to teach me
[10:49] <tavi> to another platform
[10:49] <Slart> Securitron: there is config files for modprobe in /etc/modprobe.d/.. perhaps you can do something with those?
[10:49] <kinja-sheep> Am I using metacity or compiz?  How do you tell?
[10:50] <h2co3> patterson: I just means that the driver can make the hardver scanning...
[10:50] <Securitron> Slart: I'll check that out, thanks.
[10:50] <phorensic> kinja-sheep: you could be using both
[10:50] <elkbuntu> tavi, no it wont
[10:50] <tavi> and why wouldn't achieve for me?
[10:50] <tavi> if i wanna change the os
[10:50] <Slart> kinja-sheep: you could try running "ps -A | grep -i compiz".. that wouldn't be failsafe though.. but it might give you a hint
[10:50] <kinja-sheep> phorensic:  Care to explain more?
[10:51] <tavi> maibe for windows they will answer
[10:51] <patterson> txs h2co3
[10:51] <silida1> i have 2 soundcards: audigy 4 [SB0610] and a ESS ES1938, this is my alsa_base file http://pastebin.com/m61137736, what do i need to write where to make sure the audigy 4 gets loaded as hw0 ?
[10:51] <phorensic> kinja-sheep: You are likely to be using metacity for the window decorator and compiz as a window manager
[10:51] <tavi> so achieve for me
[10:51] <phorensic> kinja-sheep: I think thats how to put it technically... anyway what are you looking to do??
[10:51] <kinja-sheep> Slart: I get compiz, compiz.real, compiz-decorato
[10:52] <Slart> kinja-sheep: I think that compiz.real is the thing you're looking for.. so you're running compiz
[10:52] <kinja-sheep> phorensic: To be able to put a name in workspace.  I think that's related to compiz?  <_<
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> more compi rubbish :(
[10:52] <elkbuntu> tavi, you might want to leave this channel now, as you do not seem interested in using it for it's intended use.
[10:52] <phorensic> kinja-sheep: Sounds about right
[10:52] <Slart> kinja-sheep: I helped someone with that before.. seems they haven't implemented that feature in compiz yet
[10:52] <srx2002> in teriminal what command shows what and your CDROM name is
[10:53] <tavi> why? i asked about help
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> srx2002: file /dev/cdrom
[10:53] <Slart> kinja-sheep: someone said that if you switched to metacity, renamed the desktops and then switched back to compiz the names would stick.. but I haven't tried it myself
[10:53] <fixnum> phorensic, i tried > pwd | nautilus , but that didn't work
[10:53] <srx2002> Action: do I have to open it it with gedit or something
[10:53] <srx2002> for example I think mine is scd0 or something
[10:54] <phorensic> fixnum: no there has got to be a format maybe ActionParsnip knows
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> phorensic: sup?
[10:54] <silida1> ﻿i have 2 soundcards: audigy 4 [SB0610] and a ESS ES1938, this is my alsa_base file http://pastebin.com/m61137736, what do i need to write where to make sure the audigy 4 gets loaded as hw0 ?
[10:54] <srx2002> I thought someone told me that you can view the contents of the fils
[10:54] <srx2002> but i forget what file
[10:54] <phorensic> ActionParsnip: can you pipe the output of pwd so that it becomes the parameters of gksudo nautilus??
[10:54] <tavi> well don't bother i will find the solution
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> phorensic: you could use nautilus 'pwd' &
[10:55] <phorensic> ActionParsnip: IE gksudo nautilus <directory obtained from pwd>
[10:55] <kinja-sheep> Slart:  oven/dev/bin -- Was the plan.  Got any useful packages I should be trying?  I'm killing time here.
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> phorensic: much like kernel-header-'uname -r'
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> phorensic: what will work is nautilus ./
[10:55] <Slart> kinja-sheep: huh?
[10:55] <phorensic> ActionParsnip: haven't really used that at all besides copy/paste days ago
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> fixnum: use nautilus ./
[10:56] <phorensic> ActionParsnip: ahhhh very good .. I would like to get used to piping things and stuff, still fairly new to the terminal but I'm slowly understanding the concepts and slowly starting to useit more and more
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> fixnum: works with: dolphin ./
[10:56] <fixnum> yeah, i just tried it. thanks ActionParsnip, phorensic
[10:57] <Slart> silida1: here's some info.. don't know if it will be enough though http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/FAQ#The_order_of_my_cards_changes_whenever_I_reboot_or_as_devices_are_plugged_and_unplugged._How_can_I_create_PCMs_that_refer_to_cards_by_name_instead_of_number.3F
[10:57] <silida1> will check
[10:57] <phorensic> ActionParsnip: so entering a command within ' ' will return the value of that command to use as the action? pretty cool. Was the & supposed to be at the end of that example you gave me?
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> fixnum: i dont use gui stuff much but makes sense
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> phorensic: as far as i'm aware
[10:58] <srx2002> I wanna use the command dd if= ........But i don't know where or what to check to see what device my cdrom is listed as...any suggestions?
[10:58] <srx2002> I thought it was scd0
[10:58] <srx2002> or something like that
[10:58] <fixnum> phorensic, the '&' means it will run in the background i think
[10:59] <srx2002> and someone told me there was a command or open a file and it will tell me what drives are where
[10:59] <phorensic> fixnum: oh i think i remember something about that.. there is a way to pull processes to the foreground to
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> phorensic: kernel-headers-`uname -a | cut -f 3 -d' '`
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> phorensic: just grabbed that off a site
[10:59] <phorensic> ActionParsnip: wtf does that do?
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> but uname -r relieves the need for all that cutting nonesense
[11:00] <phorensic> ActionParsnip: ahhh
[11:00] <srx2002> anyone?
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> kernel-headers-`uname -r`
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> srx2002: if you read fstab it will be in there
[11:01] <phorensic> ActionParsnip: yah its been so long since I messed with that, I usually just keep updated with the repos, plus never compiled my own kernel.. any time i dealt with headers I was following a tutorial
[11:01] <phorensic> !UUID
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> phorensic: true but yeah the command gets run first, its quite handy for scripts
[11:02] <muzanaka> Why was I baned in ubuntu-ru?
[11:02] <cq> hm, any idea why ubuntu has a much larger /lib than a debian install?
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> cq: just a quirk of the beast
[11:02] <Slart> muzanaka: ask in #ubuntu-ops
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> cq: im sure its smaller in other places
[11:02] <srx2002> how do i read fstab
[11:02] <Slart> srx2002: gedit /etc/fstab is one way
[11:02] <phorensic> ActionParsnip: is the uuid basically like a unique serial for a piece of hardware?
[11:02] <srx2002> that's it..I remember fstab...but where may I find that
[11:02] <cq> but does it put less in var/lib and usr/lib or something?
[11:03] <Slart> srx2002: or cat /etc/fstab
[11:03] <srx2002> thank you
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> cq: use du to check
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> srx2002: there will be an entry there for the cd drive
[11:03] <cq> does it make sense to put /lib on its own partition?
[11:04] <srx2002> ok. thanks again
[11:04] <innni1> Hi. I am trying to format a USB pendrive using  sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc1, but I get the message "mkfs.vfat: /dev/sdc1 contains a mounted file system."
[11:05] <innni1> if I unmount it i cannot use i either
[11:05] <innni1> :)
[11:05] <innni1> what does one do
[11:05] <marek__> hi, how can i manage problem with GPG in ppa repos?
[11:05] <hdogan> hey, couple week ago i was trying to install intrepid but after a while my caps lock and scroll lock led were blinking.  After some research on google, they said it is a kernel bug. I just wonder that does anybody know that does this problem solved or not?
[11:06] <phorensic> hdogan: Haven't heard of that one myself
[11:06] <oCean_> innni1: if you unmount it, you *should* be able to format the partition
[11:06] <Slart> hdogan: there are many bugs on various hardware.. we have no idea which bug you found when you tried installing
[11:06] <innni1> oCean
[11:06] <innni1> thanks
[11:06] <innni1> oCean: using what command
[11:06] <hdogan> Slart, it is about wifi
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> hdogan: try using a different kernel
[11:07] <Slart> hdogan: well.. wifi is evolving with every release.. why not try the latest live cd and see if it works now?
[11:07] <hdogan> ActionParsnip, sometimes i got this error while installation
[11:07] <ubundude> long story short, my install of 8.10 alternative won't boot correctly after the 200+ updates...
[11:07] <ubundude> It tries to boot as normal but as it gets to loading the main login screen it reverts to text and says "normal boot" and its just like the terminal
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> hdogan: try some kernel options
[11:07] <ubundude> (didn't know it would come out like that sry)
[11:07] <ZmAY> hello, can someone help me with linuxdc++ install, i get this error: scons: *** Source `linuxdcpp' not found, needed by target `/usr/local/bin/linuxdcpp'.  Stop.
[11:07] <oCean_> innni1: if you mount a device /dev/sdc1 (for example) at /mnt/pendrive, it is accessible by /mnt/pendrive. If it is not mounted, you should be able to run several tools using /dev/sdc1. Like fdisk and fsck and mkfs
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | hdogan
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> oCean_: very concise explanation
[11:08] <mcmoher59> wow
[11:08] <oCean_> ActionParsnip: I had a lot of coffee :)
[11:09] <mcmoher59> how can i install cedega for linux ubuntu 8.04
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> mcmoher59: go to the cedega site and download the evaluation, cedega is not free
[11:09] <mcmoher59> really?
[11:09] <adac> how can I force ubuntu to boot only commad line. No grafical
[11:09] <mcmoher59> i thought that it is free
[11:10] <ubundude> my install of 8.10 alternative won't boot correctly after the 200+ updates. It tries to boot like normal but as it gets to loading the main login screen it reverts to black and white text and says "normal boot" and its just like the terminal
[11:10] <phorensic> mcmoher59: cedega thats the virtualization right? I think vmware or vbox are good alternatives
[11:10] <mcmoher59> lol
[11:10] <sabrebutt> cedega is wine on steroids
[11:10] <phorensic> ubundude: can you try startx?
[11:10] <phorensic> sabrebutt: i see
[11:10] <ubundude> phorensic: i'm not sure what you mean by that
[11:11] <cq> how can you shrink an existing partition and not lose the data on it?
[11:11] <cq> qtparted?
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> cq: backup data first then gparted
[11:11] <phorensic> ubundude: can you run a command at the terminal 'startx
[11:11] <ubundude> phorensic: actually ya i should be able to, what should i do after that. or rather what does that do?
[11:12] <laeg> if i had two versions of ubuntu, or even ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu's root dirs installed on different partitions can they all use the same /home dir?
[11:12] <phorensic> ubundude: It loads the x window system (gui), perhaps you have a config set to where it doesn't load the gui on startup
[11:12] <w4> tooooooooooooooollloooooooooooooonngg....!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[11:12] <hdogan> the lates ubuntu was released 30 Oct. I think it still has this problem. Because of this bug, now im using fc10, honestly it isnt perfect as ubuntu
[11:13] <phorensic> ubundude: Can you try it and see if anything good happens?
[11:13] <ubundude> phorensic: fair enough i'll give that a shot
[11:13] <oak_> join #apache2
[11:14] <marek__> do you remember how was called this app to record desktop actions?
[11:14] <phorensic> marek__: gtkrecordmydesktop???
[11:14] <laeg> phorensic: are you recording my desktop right now?
[11:15] <laeg> :D
[11:15] <marek__> phorensic dont have it in repos...
[11:15] <phorensic> laeg: Yes, and I am very dissapointed at what i see
[11:15] <phorensic> marek__: yes it is hold on
[11:16] <mark> hallo
[11:16] <laeg> if i had two versions of ubuntu, or even ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu's root dirs installed on different partitions can they all use the same /home dir partition?
[11:16] <marek__> phorensic got it gtk-recordmydesktop
[11:16] <marek__> :)
[11:16] <phorensic> sudo apt-get install gtk-recordmydesktop
[11:16] <phorensic> marek__: yes eheh
[11:16] <marek__> i was first
[11:16] <phorensic> marek__: because my copy didn't take
[11:17] <phorensic> marek__: There are others but this one seemed to work pretty good, and I think the output is video instead of animated gif
[11:18] <ubundude> phorensic: it says its not detecting any devices and no screens
[11:18] <jimcooncat> laeg: don't see why not, but 1) I'd stick with same version number for your installs 2) keep good backups or version control
[11:18] <alaa> hi
[11:18] <laeg> jimcooncat: how would i do that? for the moment i just want to install 8.04 on another partition
[11:18] <alaa> i have webcam and cant make it work in ubuntu 8.10
[11:18] <alaa> or 8.04
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> !webcam | alaa
[11:19] <laeg> jimcooncat: do mean the same version number for o/s installs, or the same version number for installed software?
[11:19] <laeg> as in packages
[11:19] <jimcooncat> laeg: just do a simple backup first, play with 8.04, then diff your /home to see that nothing got monkeyed with
[11:19] <phorensic> ubundude: hmm hey ActionParsnip besides startx whats the alternative to start gdm?
[11:20] <laeg> jimcooncat: diff?
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> phorensic: gdm start
[11:20] <phorensic> ActionParsnip: there isn't like a sudo /etc/gdm.init start or something???
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> phorensic: or it might be just gdm, it needs to be run as user
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> phorensic: try both
[11:21] <phorensic> ubundude: try gdm start or gdm see what happens
[11:21] <jimcooncat> laeg, yes, get a tool that shows you differences between your /home and your backup to see if anything changed.
[11:21] <ubundude> phorensic: failed and not permitted
[11:21] <_Andy_> Hi can anyone help me with this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1051767
[11:22] <phorensic> ubundude: on the not permitted try sudo before the command
[11:22] <jimcooncat> laeg, or just restore your /home when you're done checking out the other os
[11:22] <ubundude> phorensic: same thing, not permitted
[11:22] <laeg> jimcooncat: i don't really have space to back up 279gb. i just want to use bluetooth under ubuntu to backup my phone with opensync/gnokkii - maybe i'll just make a 10gb partition and put the 8.04 / and /home on it>?
[11:23] <Grom> is new canonical notification system available now?
[11:23] <laeg> jimcooncat: also, i will have a new hdd in about a week so i could back up then and see if different versions and variants of ubuntu can use the same /home partition
[11:24] <alcohol> I put this in a file in if-up.d/ -- http://pastie.org/371987
[11:24] <alcohol> but it doesn't seem to work
[11:25] <jimcooncat> laeg: without a means to back up I can't suggest you mess with other os's. If you had /home on lvm, you could make a snapshot -- would require a good amount of research. Otherwise, I'd suggest a livecd and copy just what you need out of your hd's home to the livecd instance.
[11:25] <phorensic1> ubundude: So your user is not a member of the admin group? try gksudo instead of sudo just to see
[11:25] <alcohol> the only thing I could find in dmesg is
[11:25] <alcohol> [   34.226202] smbfs is deprecated and will be removed from the 2.6.27 kernel. Please migrate to cifs
[11:25] <alcohol> [   34.226209] smbfs: mount_data version 1919251317 is not supported

[11:27] <U-b-u-n-t-u> can I ask  firestarter questions here
[11:27] <phorensic1> ubundude: hmmm any ideas ActionParsnip?? ubundude did some updates and now he can't get a gui
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> phorensic1: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[11:28] <phorensic1> ActionParsnip: I don't believe there were any xorg errors, but i guess that is worth a shot
[11:28] <phorensic1> ubundude: Did you get that ^^
[11:29] <_Andy_> Hi can anyone help me with this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1051767
[11:29] <oCean_> _Andy_: what's the sound device in the laptop? (lspci |grep -i audio)
[11:29] <phorensic1> ubundude: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  <-- this is tall you through the setup process to configure your mouse/keyboard & monitor (should auto-detect)
[11:29] <_Andy_> oCean_: Give me a second
[11:30] <U-b-u-n-t-u> Firestarter is blocking a web site for no reason I turned off the fire wall and I can connect to the site fine I turn it back on and nothing anyone know where I can see about removing a blacklisted url?
[11:31] <bliZZardz> ﻿Am having some trouble with applets on my firefox(3.0.5)  on Ubuntu Hardy- am unable to run the java applets. It says the applet started - but i end up getting a grey screen. Help would be great
[11:31] <lukasz> yo
[11:31] <lukasz> its easy
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> U-b-u-n-t-u: can you telnet to port 80 on the address?
[11:31] <lukasz> pa
[11:31] <ubundude> phorensic: didn't do anything diff
[11:32] <bliZZardz> anyone experienced anything similar??
[11:32] <U-b-u-n-t-u> telnet to the url of the webpage?
[11:32] <phorensic1> ubundude: after you did that did you try startx?
[11:32] <ubundude> phorensic: does "fatal server error: no screens found" mean anything to you guys?
[11:32] <ubundude> phorensic: ya and i got that no screens thing
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> U-b-u-n-t-u: yes on port 80
[11:33] <phorensic1> ubundude: have you updated and upgraded since?
[11:33] <U-b-u-n-t-u> I will try now
[11:33] <ubundude> phorensic: fresh install hours old, fresh updates, hour ago at this point
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> U-b-u-n-t-u: if it succeeds you know the outgoing to the site is ok, then just permit the data incoming from the url
[11:34] <zamba> is it a way to force ubuntu to discover the restricted drivers?
[11:34] <U-b-u-n-t-u> nothing on the telnet port 80
[11:34] <bliZZardz> i reduced my Hardy boot time to 30sec(mainly changing /etc/rcx.d/...any other avenues of speed?
[11:34] <U-b-u-n-t-u> so its both out going and incoming
[11:34] <phorensic1> ubundude: funky ... take you paste the output of your xorg file? it is in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:34] <zamba> i've more than once experienced that it takes days before that applet actually discovers the restricted drivers in use
[11:34] <kinja-sheep> Bash script experts -- How do I get the path using pwd?    To be more specific, I'm trying to assign the pwd result to a variable,
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> U-b-u-n-t-u: check firestarter to check what its doing
[11:34] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok
[11:35] <bliZZardz> zamba: ???
[11:35] <ubundude> phorensic: how would i do that, also affected computer is one story below me
[11:35] <bliZZardz> zamba: how does that happen then
[11:36] <phorensic1> ubundude: are you remoting in currently or what?
[11:36] <ubundude> phorensic: running up and down a flight of stairs =X
[11:36] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ActionParsnip I couldnt find it under event or status
[11:36] <zamba> bliZZardz: have no idea.. the system runs for a while and then suddenly it pops up with a message that it has discovered that some restricted drivers can "do the job"
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> U-b-u-n-t-u: can you ping the site
[11:37] <bliZZardz> zamba: for firrefox problem??
[11:37] <U-b-u-n-t-u> trying now
[11:37] <phorensic1> ubundude: wow hehe this could prove to be difficult
[11:37] <zamba> bliZZardz: what?
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> U-b-u-n-t-u: can you traceroute to the ip
[11:37] <zamba> bliZZardz: drivers.. hardware drivers..
[11:37] <ubundude> phorensic: ya >_<
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> U-b-u-n-t-u: you'll need to apt-get install traceroute
[11:37] <Guest56544> hi all i have a problem with my home trash file in intrepid i have a file that has root permission but it wont show up under root to remove it
[11:37] <bliZZardz> ah! i was referring to firefox applet problems
[11:38] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ActionParsnip,  wont ping no traceroute
[11:38] <ubundude> phorensic: what about........outputing the file to a thumbdrive...?
[11:38] <phorensic1> ubundude: there you go
[11:38] <bliZZardz> anybody who can save this poor man!!??!! :(
[11:38] <ubundude> phorensic: k i haven't a clue how <_<
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> U-b-u-n-t-u: if you turn off your firewall is it ok? Can you ping / traceroute other sites ok
[11:39] <phorensic1> ubundude: so something like cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf > /media/thumbfoldername/file.txt  ActionParsnip would this be correct?
[11:39] <U-b-u-n-t-u> every site comes up fine except that one
[11:39] <U-b-u-n-t-u> with both opera and firefox
[11:39] <U-b-u-n-t-u> but either will open it unless firestarter is off
[11:39] <U-b-u-n-t-u> neither*
[11:40] <phorensic1> ubundude: I haven't used the command so lets make sure its correct
[11:40] <phorensic1> oCean_: can you say if this command is correct? cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf > /media/thumbfoldername/file.txt
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> phorensic1: you can just cp it, cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /media/thumbfoldername/file.txt
[11:41] <phorensic1> oCean_: purpose to output the xorg configinto a file on a usbthumb drive so he can paste it (this pc has no net connection)
[11:41] <ubundude> phorensic: k, i'd also need to find out how to find out the thumbfoldername
[11:41] <phorensic1> ActionParsnip: ah haha true.. but would cat work?
[11:41] <Guest56544> hi all i have a problem with my home trash file in intrepid i have a file that has root permission but it wont show up under root to remove it anyone any ideas
[11:42] <oCean_> phorensic1: yes, I missed the conversation, why not cp?
[11:42] <Darkcloud> sup all
[11:42] <phorensic1> ActionParsnip:  why didn't i think of cp haah trying to be too smart or too learning the shellish
[11:42] <phorensic1> oCean_: because I didn't think of it haha .. too much caffeine
[11:42] <oCean_> :)
[11:42] <phorensic1> Darkcloud: hey bud
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> phorensic1: both would work
[11:43] <phorensic1> ActionParsnip: Cool so > is to change standard output and | is to pipe a command into another yes?
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> phorensic1: yeah, cat will put the file to the screen but the > will spit it to the outputted file
[11:44] <phorensic1> ActionParsnip: learning stuff is cool
[11:44] <lomdav> ciao a tutti!
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> phorensic1: | is used between commands
[11:44] <oCean_> gotta love shell powertools :)
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> lots
[11:44] <lomdav> nessuno che ha un portegeM200?
[11:44] <Darkcloud> im trieing to convert to ubuntu, i love this OS much more stable and not as harsh on the processor as windows, however im trieing to get all my windows apps to work via wine, one of the only serious problems im having is ventrilo =X not much info on the web about it either
[11:45] <bbeebboopp> why don't you use the ubuntu counterparts Darkcloud ?
[11:45] <mfdavid> dude, if you are going to use everything via Wine, stay with windows...
[11:45] <phorensic1> Darkcloud: you have to use ventrillo? what about skype or another team caht app?
[11:45] <lomdav> have somebody portegeM200?
[11:45] <Hfuy> Hello.
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> lomdav: what of it, its a laptop..
[11:46] <andy12345> Hello, can anybody help me solve this problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1051767
[11:46] <ra21vi> how can I run logroate on my logs in home dir, I dont want to use the root credential for logrotate, everything in user space.. but currently it thorws problem, " error creating state file /var/lib/logrotate/status: Permission denied"
[11:46] <lomdav> yes...toshiba portege M200
[11:46] <oCean_> andy12345: what about the lspci output?
[11:46] <ra21vi> i am using a custom log file
[11:46] <andy12345> oCean_ Sorry I had Dc'ed can you give me the commands again?
[11:47] <Hfuy> Problem with wireless on an eee-pc running 8.04. Worked last night; fired it up this morning and set everything up as normal (it forgets passwords every time). Wireless router shows its MAC as an active client but no connectivity (can't ping, no web, etc)
[11:47] <andy12345> aplay -l ?
[11:47] <oCean_> andy12345: sure. If it's more than a single line, don't paste output here, but use paste.ubuntu.com, thx. "lspci | grep -i audio"
[11:47] <Darkcloud> i dont do everything via wine, just alot of the windows based programs because linux lacks the windows API's
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> lomdav: what about it?
[11:47] <Hfuy> Wireless network is a B+G access point using WPA2(AES) with a password. Usually works fine.
[11:48] <Hfuy> We've rebooted both the router and the eee.
[11:48] <oCean_> andy12345: also "aplay -l"
[11:48] <Hfuy> Tried re-inserting settings on both devices.
[11:48] <ubundude> phorensic: so..............................?
[11:48] <Hfuy> Still no joy - we're out of ideas. Any hints?
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> Hfuy: have you installed and configured the wpa supplicant?
[11:48] <Darkcloud> when you convert from another OS its more likely you have more windows programs than linux
[11:48] <Hfuy> I've absolutely no idea what that means, ActionParsnip - but it worked last night. It's been working for weeks.
[11:48] <CompactDstrxion> darkcloud many native linux programs offer the same functionality as their windows counterparts
[11:48] <Hfuy> Suddenly it won't.
[11:48] <lomdav> a problem with internal bluetooth, seem toshset give me a error thath kernel toshiba is not supported.
[11:49] <Poramet> Hay  Which unit of share memory kernal (shmmax)?  bit or byte?
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> Hfuy: try renaming /etc/network/interfaces and reboot
[11:49] <Hfuy> Rename it to what?
[11:49] <phorensic1> ubundude: oh yah so just copy the file (I thought you were gone) do sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /media/<usbnamehere>/xorg.conf
[11:49] <CompactDstrxion> you shouldnt need to run so many windows programs
[11:49] <yellowtape> Hi all. I've  got an app which requires java6 so I'm trying to install it. After performing "sudo aptitude install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-font
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> Hfuy: anything you want, just something different
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> Hfuy: when you reboot you can reconfigure the settings
[11:49] <Hfuy> Oh hm. Setting it to DHCP seems to solve the problem.
[11:49] <keks47> quit
[11:49] <yellowtape> " doing java -version still tells me 1.5
[11:49] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ActionParsnip it lets me connect to any site with either firefox or opera except that one I have outbound set to permissive.. but firefox and opera will only connect to it when firestarter is off... its odd
[11:49] <Hfuy> Not that we really wanted DHCP.
[11:49] <Poramet> Hay  Which unit of share memory kernal (shmmax)?  bit or byte?
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> Hfuy: i'd also check your wpa settings to make double sure they are  sound
[11:49] <andy12345> oCean_ : here you go http://paste.ubuntu.com/110244/
[11:49] <oCean_> Poramet: bytes i guess
[11:50] <ubundude> phorensic: and how do i figure out what the thumbdrive will be called
[11:50] <Poramet> oCean_: really?
[11:50] <Hfuy> ActionParsnip: We've reentered them a dozen times, since it forgets them every time.
[11:50] <Hfuy> At least it forgets the password.
[11:50] <Hfuy> Known bug, apparently.
[11:50] <Darkcloud> i never said that linux is lacking anything, i know they are great counterparts to windows infact i beleive they are better, however i only have windows based apps that ive purchased; and i didnt think i was going to switch but then i decided to because of the lack of trust and vunerability inside windows products
[11:51] <phorensic1> ubundude: you';; have to look around.. you can look in mount.. or i think fdisk will display a list of drives and their locations
[11:51] <oCean_> andy12345: for ati there is a pretty nice howto at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto But maybe you've been there
[11:51] <malmgren80> Hello
[11:51] <Darkcloud> ergo, i use wine alot for running programs that are windwos based =X
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> Hfuy: try renamng the file and rebooting, you will then have to reconnect the link
[11:51] <Hfuy> We'll leave it alone.
[11:51] <Hfuy> It works.
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> Hfuy: i dont use wpa, i think its a massive pain
[11:51] <Poramet> oCean_:thank you
[11:52] <Hfuy> ActionParsnip: I was looking for something with "AES" in it, as I understand AES is still secure.
[11:52] <phorensic1> ActionParsnip: whats the command to list all drives present?
[11:52] <yellowtape> So, I guess my question is, do I need to remove Java 5 first? Or update some java configs?
[11:53] <andy12345> oCean_ , thats video I am talking about sound pal, please read my post
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> Hfuy: its a strong encyption that wpa2 uses in a client / accesspoint situation
[11:53] <malmgren80> I need help getting my Sata-disc working in Ubuntu. Its connectec on a pci sil3512 card which is detected when i run lsmod but the disc is not in /dev. I tried ubuntu 7.10, 8.04 and 8.10.
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> phorensic1: sudo fdisk -l
[11:53] <Hfuy> ActionParsnip: Goodo.
[11:53] <andy12345> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6625164
[11:53] <quibbler> yellowtape, I would uninstall 5 and reinstall 6
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> Hfuy: wpa2 will use a different method if its peer to peer
[11:53] <phorensic1> ActionParsnip: ahh i wasn't doing sudo no wonder it wasn't displaying correctly
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> phorensic1: yeah all fdisk stuff needs sudo
[11:54] <phorensic1> ubundude: yah do a sudo fdisk -l to list the drives
[11:54] <Hfuy> ActionParsnip: It's an accesspoint.
[11:54] <phorensic1> ActionParsnip: I should have thought of that.. it makes sense
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> phorensic1: it also shows the partitions on the drives
[11:54] <Hfuy> It's a Sitecom WL-130 in accesspoint mode, anyway.
[11:54] <oCean_> andy12345: yes, i just saw that too... moment searching for another thread, that was useful to me
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> Hfuy: then if you are using wpa2 it will use aes
[11:54] <andy12345> oCean_: Oh I mean this one http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1051767
[11:54] <andy12345> oCean_: okay
[11:54] <Hfuy> ActionParsnip: And that's good, right?
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> Hfuy: sure
[11:55] <phorensic1> ActionParsnip: Do you know if they dev team will/has released a kernel for 8.10 that supports ext4?
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> phorensic1: ive not looked into ext4, you could always ompile a module to supprt ext4
[11:56] <pao> hi! is it a OS X "open" shell command for ubuntu?
[11:57] <phorensic1> ActionParsnip: I suppose but Im not advanced yet, I was just curious cause I have seen people asking about it
[11:57] <yellowtape> Ahh, in case anyone asks again, after installing Java 6 you need to "sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun"
[11:57] <yellowtape> quibbler: ta anyway :)
[11:57] <phorensic1> pao: Are you asking if there is a keyboard shortcut to open a shell?
[11:57] <pao> phorensic1: nope...
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> phorensic1: go do some websearching of advantages / disadvantages
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> yellowtape: I always use icedtea, for 64it ;)
[11:58] <pao> phorensic1: in mac os x term if I type "open file.pdf"
[11:58] <quibbler> yellowtape, nice to know thanks
[11:58] <lacie> hello guys
[11:58] <pao> phorensic1: the file.pdf is opened with the system default viewer for that document type
[11:58] <phorensic1> ActionParsnip: Well, it wasn't for me .. I did look at some of the new features though.
[11:58] <gordonjcp> pao: oh, and it guesses what to use to open the file?
[11:58] <pao> gordonjcp: exactly
[11:58] <gordonjcp> pao: I don't know offhand but I expect there *is* something
[11:59] <pao> gordonjcp: the same "default" app that is associated with the filetype (just if you clicked from nautilus)
[11:59] <gordonjcp> pao: I don't use nautilus
[12:00] <malmgren80> I need help getting my Sata-disc working in Ubuntu. Its connectec on a pci sil3512 card which is detected when i run lspci. But the disc is not in /dev (only my 2 pata discs). The disc isnt showed when i type fdisk -l. lsmod shows libata that supports sil_sata. Do i need to recompile the kernel, or is the module sil_sata loaded?
[12:00] <oCean_> andy12345: from the other thread I see that you also edited alsa-base config. But I'm not sure if the "6stack-digout" option is correct. See next link, there is an overview of options for the ALC861: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=616845
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> pao: try gnome-open <file>
[12:00] <pao> gordonjcp: yep... but still I guess you have a default app registered for your filetypes
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> pao: or kde-open
[12:00] <pao> ActionParsnip: it works! thanks!

[12:05] <ActionParsnip> pao: different search engine, different results
[12:05] <etayfur> saying "networkmanager applet neds default keyrings but it is locked"
[12:06] <etayfur> or something like that
[12:06] <etayfur> can anybody help me about this subject
[12:07] <pao> ActionParsnip: yep... I've just tested google with the same "query"... it works as well ;-) .... In this case the merit is yours ;-)
[12:07] <oCean_> andy12345: ok. Well, I'm not on ati, but I fiddled with the options to in the alsa-base file. Finally adding "irqpoll" to the kernel options (grub) fixed it for me
[12:08] <andy12345> oCean_, how do I do that?
[12:08] <pao> ActionParsnip: anyway .... just bookmarked ask.com ;-)
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> pao: just search like an idiot, keep it simple
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> pao: nice

[12:12] <andy12345> oCean_: # kopt=root=UUID=b10bfa48-53e7-4ddc-90c2-ca271523399d ro is that it iw ill add irqpoll to it?
[12:12] <Stroganoff> robotjox edit /etc/sudoers but it is not recommended
[12:13] <oCean_> andy12345: that's the line, you have to add "irqpoll" at the end
[12:13] <malmgren80> boohbah: lsmod shows libata 159600 5 ata_generic, pata_sis, sata_sil, pata_acpi
[12:14] <andy12345> oCean_: done now reboot?
[12:14] <oCean_> andy12345: "sudo update-grub" done?
[12:14] <malmgren80> ActionParsnip: How do i know a modules name? Where do i find the modules?
[12:14] <robotjox> Stroganoff: thanks, but what should I write for only disabling the password prompt for installing debs?
[12:14] <andy12345> oCean-: yeah
[12:14] <oCean_> andy12345: then reboot yes
[12:14] <andy12345> okay see you then in 3 mins
[12:14] <oCean_> andy12345: and keep fingers crossed
[12:14] <andy12345> and you pray fo rme :P
[12:14] <etayfur> :Stroganoff sorry in passwords Applications > Passwords and Encryption Keys are the same but
[12:15] <kinja-sheep> Question -- The command 'eject' do work in terminal -- but it wouldn't work in the script? <_<
[12:15] <ActionParsnip> malmgren80: you'll need to find what your card needs, then get the module for it
[12:15] <kiwi_uk> hey all, does anyone have extensive experience of Apache 2 under Ubuntu?
[12:16] <kiwi_uk> in fact, does anyone have Apache 2 running under Ubuntu now? I've got a really odd problem and I'd like to see if it exists on servers other than mine!
[12:16] <ziroday> kiwi_uk: if you ask us the actual question we'll be able to tell you
[12:16] <ubundude> phorensic: i just can't do it....................
[12:17] <kiwi_uk> fair nuff. the problem is that if you request a resource such as https://server/example/, apache will quite happily return example.php in its place, assuming the directory doesn't exist
[12:17] <kiwi_uk> it'll also return example.html if there is no example.php. If I create the example directory, apache returns an empty directory listing as you'd expect
[12:17] <ActionParsnip> malmgren80: you could also consult the HCL
[12:17] <ormecuro> hi,i installed a software from source,but now i wanna uninstall the software,how can i do this?
[12:17] <phorensic> ubundude: hmmmm... I dunno then bro
[12:18] <malmgren80> ActionParsnip: What is HCL?
[12:18] <ubundude> phorensic: either that doesn't exist or this doesn't exist and god i'm so lost
[12:18] <oCean_> kinja-sheep: maybe when you add device name? like /usr/bin/eject /dev/scd0 ? It seems a bit strange to me..
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | malmgren80
[12:18] <kinja-sheep> oCean_: Will try that command in the script.
[12:19] <ubundude> phorensic: LVM doesn't have anything to do with this right..........?
[12:19] <ziroday> kiwi_uk: do you have any redirects in .htaccess or your /etc/apache2 config's?
[12:19] <etayfur> Stroganoff sorry in passwords Applications > Passwords and Encryption Keys are the same but in system>preferences>Encryption and Keyrings it says Default Key: None. Prompt for a key.
[12:19] <ubundude> phorensic: thats what i was orignally -trying- to accomplish with an alternative cd
[12:19] <phorensic> ubundude: no shouldn't although I've never used it
[12:20] <Blacki> Is there no option in the GUI based Networkmanager to disable automatic connection to wlan networks anymore ?
[12:20] <kinja-sheep> oCean_: /usr/bin/eject /dev/dvdrw --- It worked.  I guess because my script is in ~/bin -- It's not same as /usr/bin -- Thanks. :>
[12:21] <phorensic> ubundude: no it just sounds like there is a problem getting screens asin a bad config perhaps, should be fixable somehow
[12:21] <Boohbah> kinja-sheep: yes, you would need to put ~/bin in your PATH to avoid calling the script by the full path
[12:21] <_Andy_> oCean_ : not working
[12:22] <oCean_> _Andy_: damn.
[12:22] <_Andy_> Yeah damn...........
[12:22] <_Andy_> Sometimes I really think that my computer is a human with a attitude its taking its revenge from me
[12:24] <oCean_> _Andy_: well, all those different chipsets are still a problem to linux, since producers only build for windows :(
[12:24] <kiwi_uk> ziroday, no. I have totally disabled mod_rewrite and it still happens.
[12:24] <oCean_> _Andy_: so, most of 'em work for linux, but we have to find out (again and again) which options to use etc
[12:24] <_Andy_> sigh but i have seen some posts where guys claimed that it worked =|
[12:25] <kiwi_uk> ziroday, it happens on all my Ubuntu servers from what i can tell, its very odd
[12:25] <oCean_> _Andy_: best shot is find people that have same config, and ask them indeed
[12:25] <ziroday> kiwi_uk: never had that problem here sorry
[12:26] <_Andy_> June 15th, 2008  thats the last seen of that guy
[12:26] <ubundude> phorensic: should i just reinstall or something............?
[12:26] <oCean_> _Andy_: doubleclicking on the volume control does open the alsa mixer, right? And Device selection is Alsa?
[12:26] <_Andy_> oCean_ yeah doubleclicking opens two windows
[12:27] <kiwi_uk> ziroday, do you have apache running anywhere now? it'd really help if someone could confirm its not just me
[12:27] <ziroday> kiwi_uk: its a debian server but sure
[12:27] <ziroday> kiwi_uk: you want me to create example.php in /var/www?
[12:28] <phorensic> ubundude: I think at this point it may be easier... for a fresh install to take a dive like that its kinda funky .. and since you have to run up and down the stairs all night long trying this and that, probbably much better to try that
[12:28] <kiwi_uk> ziroday, that'd be ace, thanks. yeah, create it with an echo line and then try http://server/example/
[12:28] <_Andy_> oCean_, yeah doubleclicking opens two windows
[12:30] <oCean_> _Andy_: and at the Device drop down list.. nothing changes when you try different options. I guess you've been there :/
[12:30] <Paddy_EIRE> oCean_, which device drop down list?
[12:30] <_Andy_> HOLD ON!!! HOLY COW THERE ARE SOME MORE DROP DOWN OPTIONS NOW!
[12:30] <O__o> hi, anyone knows a good software to edit mp3??
[12:30] <oCean_> _Andy_: :)
[12:31] <Paddy_EIRE> !caps | _Andy_
[12:31] <O__o> i wanna edit a song to ringtone
[12:31] <Paddy_EIRE> :P
[12:31] <_Andy_> sorry I was very excited
[12:31] <ziroday> kiwi_uk: ooh sorry, the servers been changed to lighty. Its not apache anymore. Sorry.
[12:31] <oCean_> _Andy_: one step closer to hard-rockin' on ubuntu?
[12:31] <Paddy_EIRE> O__o, audacity
[12:31] <oCean_> Paddy_EIRE: well, I have a Device dropdown list in my alsamixer window

[12:44] <_daemon_> hi i just installed 8.10 on my laptop, i am trying for codecs, but cannot find any good bad ugly things in synaptic, all repos are enabled
[12:44] <_daemon_> also no ffmpeg
[12:45] <kiwi_uk> oCean_, ziroday, found out whats doing it :|
[12:45] <kiwi_uk> if you're interested, check out the "Multiviews" option in mod_negotiation
[12:45] <Dr_willis> _daemon_,  use the medibuntu repos.
[12:45] <Dr_willis> !medibuntu | _daemon_
[12:45] <asd> phorensic: No, I just installed it fresh for the first time and now Ive fiddled around with it and got most my hardware working with the exception of my linksys usb pnp wifi card.
[12:45] <muetze_> test
[12:46] <_daemon_> Dr_willis, ubottu ok
[12:46] <Dr_willis> _daemon_,  ubottu  is a bot :)
[12:46] <phorensic> asd: yah the terminal commands are escaping me right now
[12:46] <robin0800> _daemon_: search for java and it will turn up unsuported codecs etc
[12:46] <Dr_willis> _daemon_,  also install the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package  it has a lot of stuff you will want
[12:46] <asd> phorensic: I tried lsfw - C
[12:46] <asd> to see my eth0 but ive never had wifi on a unix box b4.

[12:48]  * phorensic waves goodbye to his fellow ubuntuans
[12:49] <Dr_willis> _daemon_,  no idea. I got a script i always run on a new install that enabled medubuntu repos.. installs that restricted-extras and the w32codecs packs and other bits i always want. :) so i never see that dialog.
[12:49] <Dr_willis> _daemon_,  i also alwyas use vlc or mplayer instead of that default gnome player (whatever its called)
[12:50] <robin0800> you may need a file from the vlc site to plsy retail dvd's this ubuntu-restricted-extras tells you what you need

[12:51] <O__o> hi, in audacity.  Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate.
[12:51] <O__o> how to fix?
[12:51] <pvh_sa|wrk> is there a frontend for linux traffic shaping? configuring things with tc seems VERY complicated
[12:51] <DaHopi> Dr_willis: with PAE it should work..
[12:52] <kiwi_uk> pvh_sa|wrk, tc is complicated :) MasterShaper is an interested web UI but i'd recommend you locate a script called wondershaper.sh and start with that
[12:52] <kiwi_uk> pvh_sa|wrk, also http://lartc.org/
[12:53] <fpga> Hi all! #madwifi chatroom - DEAD
[12:53] <Dr_willis> DaHopi,  perhaps - perhaps not..  every time i research that topic.. it just gets more confusing.  Im not sure which kernels even include PAE.. and in any event.. some ofthe hardware you have will limit the access of the ram.  (from what ive read in the HUGE and complex forum threads on this topic)
[12:53] <kiwi_uk> pvh_sa|wrk, also you might consider dd-wrt if you have capable hardware. It has quite a nice UI for some tc functions.
[12:54] <kaankanat> hi guys!
[12:54] <fpga> hi
[12:54] <pvh_sa|wrk> kiwi_uk, thanks for the tips. the machine in question is a PC based firewall running ubuntu... it services our office network, do dd-wrt isn't an option
[12:55] <stale> Hi. Anyone one know to center conky on desktop? align top_center doesn't work..
[12:55] <pvh_sa|wrk> kiwi_uk, mostly i'm looking for the ability to shunt particular users' traffic to a limited bandwidth pipe when they're abusing the network
[12:55] <kiwi_uk> pvh_sa|wrk, dd-wrt hardware is really cheap, i wouldn't rule it out
[12:55] <_daemon_> oh good, i followed the guide on ubuntu and did apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras and its installing a whole bunch of things, good
[12:55] <kiwi_uk> pvh_sa|wrk, in that case the wondershaper script will guide you nicely
[12:56] <e3co> Hi everyone. Here is one... I deleted my Network manager Panel that has Connect to vpn and wireless networks on it. It doesn
[12:56] <e3co> Doesn't come up under "Add to Panel"
[12:57] <e3co> So when I get into a new wireless zone I don't know. Is there a way to do this in CLI or another way to return the panel applet
[12:57] <e3co> ?
[12:57] <Juhaz> it's not a real applet, it can't be deleted or added to panel. perhaps you removed the systray the icon appears in?
[12:57] <Juhaz> if so, in the add to panel, "notification area"

[12:57] <Pici> !ot | kinja-sheep
[12:57] <Pici> kinja-sheep: Sorry. mistab
[12:57] <DaHopi> Dr_willis: i got a solution on http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-4gb-ram-limitation-solution/#comments it says, in linux-image-server PAE is included. but i made a own kernel to with enabled PAE..
[12:58] <DaHopi> Dr_willis: but it wont work..
[12:58] <e3co> Juhaz:  I will check it out..
[12:58] <kinja-sheep> Pici: Right after I said something.  >_>
[12:58] <Pici> kinja-sheep: The ubuntu-restricted-extras package should grab everything you need.
[12:59] <Dr_willis> ubuntu-restricted-extras - is a #1 thing i install on a clean install :) vim-full is #2
[12:59] <Pici> kinja-sheep: I broke my arm, only typing wirh one hand at the moment, sorry :)
[12:59] <e3co> Juhaz:  Thanks it was in the Notification Area applet
[12:59] <kinja-sheep> Pici: I read somewhere that I should be avoiding ubuntu-restricted-extras.
[12:59] <stale> Hi. Anyone one know to center conky on desktop? align top_center doesn't work..

[13:01] <tecan> bungshoe
[13:02] <kinja-sheep> Pici: Full of dirty hacks, workarounds, and etc.  I can't find the link. <_<
[13:03] <Pici> kinja-sheep: Its just a metapackage.  Perhaps you're thinking of the 3rd party (evil) tools such as automatix.
[13:04] <e3co> ezerhoden:  Juhaz just helped me too
[13:04] <jean> where can  I find some info on configuring /etc/default/bluetooth  my mouse does not reconnect on boot and also when the laptop wakes up after a period of inactivity. I saw some posting on editing bluez-utils but I do not have such a file
[13:04] <Juhaz> ezerhoden, I'm not usually very active in here, I find it too big of a channel to really notice questions or concentrate... but that's OT.

[13:18] <throwt> my little brotheer has one of those cards
[13:18] <throwt> i think the fix had to do with madwifi
[13:18] <Boohbah> Ryder51: http://trac.metasploit.com/wiki/Metasploit3/InstallUbuntu
[13:19] <iPeter-> Hello.
[13:19] <Ryder51> thanks Boohbah
[13:19] <iPeter-> Does someone have an idea how do i get an compiz manager.
[13:19] <iPeter-> i got ubuntu 8.04.2
[13:20] <Dr_willis>  8.04 came with compiz.. but not the CSSM tool dident it?
[13:20] <Dr_willis> !ccsm
[13:21] <tim__> for some reason i can't ssh on my new ubuntu setup -- on my laptop ssh tim@xxx.xxx.xxx works just fine -- on my new 8.10, it just waits and times out
[13:22] <bobslaede> tim__: have you installed openssh-server?
[13:22] <tim__> i think -- let me check
[13:22] <tim__> yes
[13:23] <bobslaede> oh, then i don't know :)
[13:23] <allquixotic> Hi, how do File ACLs work on ext3? Does that mean I can allow a specific set of users to have r/w/x but not others, but without using groups? I need more fine-grained control than user/group/other.
[13:23] <tim__> any logs . . .
[13:23] <bukowski> throwt, i installed madwifi, it didnt work
[13:24] <tim__> or a verbose option to ssh that let's me know what is going on?
[13:25] <Orfeous> it seems that i cant access to /dev/ttyUSB0 with my irserver..
[13:25] <Orfeous> can i debug that device somehow?
[13:25] <Ryder51> boohbah, when i put # apt-get install libgtk2-ruby libglade2-ruby  into the terminal nothing happens, ive downloaded all the other stuff
[13:26] <tim__> bobslaede, so i had the wrong ip -- interestingly enough -- still interested on troubleshooting ssh . . .
[13:26] <bukowski> i have a laptop with an atheros AR5007 wifi card. how can i install it?
[13:26] <eremite> Hey guys, I've got a question about switching from Wubi install to a proper dual-boot.
[13:27] <TAVulator> hi all
[13:27] <DFade> hello
[13:27] <carpii> after a disastrous 8.10 upgrade, im now reinstalling 8.04.  The guided install let me split my drive in two, keeping the old kubuntu partition.  But the installer is stuck at '50% resizing partition' and has been for ages. What can I do?
[13:28] <eremite> I need to if I need to delete wubi before I can partition and add Ubuntu 8.10 again.
[13:28] <Ryder51> Yo Dfade
[13:28] <eremite> I need to know**
[13:28] <ayande> i got dynamic ip how can i use a host name to make that updates is there any software beside noip to use?
[13:28] <AmarokeN> Hello, i am new to ubuntu and i need to run my graphics card drivers...it's stored on the dekstop and is named: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.22-pkg1.run ...how do i start it?
[13:29] <carpii> ayande, check updateip.py
[13:29] <ayande> ok thanks carpii

[13:29] <iPeter-> How can i add more desktops? Like more desktop space?
[13:29] <AmarokeN> in terminal?
[13:30] <carpii> more desktop space, or more virtual desktops ?
[13:30] <eremite> iPeter: Systen>Compiz-Fusion Settings
[13:30] <ezerhoden> AmarokeN: does ubuntu not offer to install the nvidia driver for you?
[13:30] <carpii> iPeter, or I think you can just right click the existing desktop pager
[13:30] <AmarokeN> Well, no
[13:30] <iPeter-> Yeah, got it, thx.
[13:30] <ezerhoden> if you do it on your own, you will probably have to rerun the installer after every kernel upgrade
[13:30] <eremite> I have NVidia and Wubi detected ALL of my hardware perfectly.
[13:31] <AmarokeN> and Compiz isn't working correctly aswell
[13:31] <eremite> When I use ctrl+Del and Left click to use compiz, It boots me out of the OS and I have to log in again.
[13:31] <ezerhoden> AmarokeN: i am not familiar with nvidia,but the ati driver,fglrx, was offered and installed automatically
[13:32] <AmarokeN> it's started and all, but i can't configure it, and no tray icon, but some of the graphical upgrades from compiz works
[13:32] <throwt> bukowski: i did some googling for my brother and saw that there was a lot of information about it

[13:34] <TAVulator> тут кто-нить говорит по-русски???

[13:36] <pirx_> ah, i had to have 'set convert-meta on' instead of 'off' now in ubuntu
[13:37] <AmarokeN> anyone able to help me with my compiz?, i need to make a private chat in order to not flood the #ubuntu channel
[13:37] <motoko>  moi

[13:47] <sambagirl> i love it
[13:47] <Boohbah> !sudo | AmarokeN
[13:47] <iPeter-> sambagirl, Looks ugly

[13:48] <sambagirl> ipeter look on youtube and see what it really looks like they put up stupid images
[13:48] <sambagirl> search for salemradiolabs
[13:48] <sambagirl> or rivendell
[13:48] <sambagirl> i have used it
[13:48] <iPeter-> Ok
[13:48] <AmarokeN> Dfade Thanks :)

[13:51] <AmarokeN> Stupid question: How do i actually start up WIndows with Wine?
[13:51] <iPeter-> Ok
[13:51] <sambagirl> i made that as my project
[13:52] <iPeter-> Is it easy to install, lol?
[13:52] <Pici> Captain_Haddock: You can have it send you the changelogs.  I'm not sure why those are depends and not suggests/reccomends though.
[13:52] <Trunkz> Im not sure as to what else to try
[13:52] <sambagirl> it is a fabulous environment. it really really really does everything.
[13:52] <tecan> http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/4192/screeniems9.jpg
[13:52] <Trunkz> I've tried e2label /dev/ps3da1 "/"

[13:52] <sambagirl> sure ipeter-
[13:52] <iPeter-> Good.
[13:53] <Pici> tecan: Do you have a support question?
[13:53] <Captain_Haddock> Pici: yeah... I'm a bit wary of installing a mail server on this box just for this ...
[13:53] <tecan> no just a awesome desktop
[13:53] <ayande> i got dynamic ip how can i use a host name to make that updates is there any software beside noip to use?
[13:53] <tecan> i dont even like ubuntu much
[13:53] <Pici> !ot | tecan
[13:53] <tecan> i knew there was alot of action in here to test my xchat scripts
[13:54] <Trunkz> Anyone here familiar with rootfs problems? I've just installed a fresh copy of ubuntu, but it wont load past the rootfs error
[13:54] <Pici> tecan: Please do so elsewhere, this is a support channel.
[13:54] <benpicco_> Hi, is there some streamripper capable of recording wma/wax streams? (preferably comandline)
[13:54] <Captain_Haddock> benpicco_: vlc?
[13:55] <nvicf> hello there I'm having a problem with samba domain controller, I can access shares but I cannot join the domain via windows XP (I'm local admin and the firewall is down), the ldap users are created, the password is setup the machine is added but still keeps saying user unknown or password incorrect, any ideas?
[13:56] <cwillu> nvicf, #samba is probably more likely to have knowledgable guesses/answers
[13:56] <kikokos> hi
[13:56] <nvicf> cwillu> nobody answers in samba nor ldap
[13:56] <kikokos> could anybody tell me how to convert one cue+flac file to mp3/ogg
[13:56] <kikokos> ?
[13:56] <cwillu> nvicf, patience is a virtue
[13:56] <kikokos> but not to one ogg but with number of tracks
[13:56] <cwillu> nvicf, might also consider posting to their mailing list
[13:57] <Captain_Haddock> nvicf: trying to access via commandline might provide more info
[13:57] <Captain_Haddock> kikokos: I use an app called soundkonverter
[13:57] <cwillu> nvicf, if you need immediate emergency support, irc is really only a best-effort solution; typically an actual support contract is useful if you're not already comfortable digging for answers in the relevant documentation, etc
[13:57] <Trunkz> cwillu: Sorry to bug ya, but i've just installed ubuntu 8.10, but am getting rootfs errors when starting ubuntu
[13:57] <Captain_Haddock> might be KDE only, not sure.
[13:58] <cwillu> (not meaing to be off putting, I'm all for you getting help)
[13:58] <kikokos> Captain_Haddock, yea but soundconverter convert me one flac to one ogg
[13:58] <kikokos> what to do after? i want to have few ogg files (1song-1file)?  do you know?
[13:58] <Captain_Haddock> oh you want to split the flac file?
[13:59] <nvicf> Captain_Haddock, via commandline with net ads?
[13:59] <Boohbah> kikokos: http://he.fi/bchunk/
[14:00] <AmarokeN> i'd love to play wow on ubuntu, still, i can't cause my harddrives are bugged all because of Windows 7, so now i can't use em, and my Windows isn't on my "C:/" partition anymore
[14:00] <cwillu> Trunkz, no worries, but on the other hand, don't be surprised when I completely ignore you :p  I'm in and out right now, I'm just throwing out the one liner solutions as I see them, which unfortunately doesn't include your problem :(
[14:00] <Trunkz> no worries :P
[14:00] <Captain_Haddock> kikokos: search for cue in your package manager ... there's stuff like cuetools etc. that might help.
[14:00]  * Captain_Haddock still uses windows for all this :|
[14:00] <Trunkz> Atm, i've tried e2label but it says it cannot find the superblock
[14:00] <Boohbah> AmarokeN: why would you install a beta OS on your HD instead of just trying it out in a VM??
[14:00] <Trunkz> so I'm lost for words.
[14:01] <kikokos> Boohbah, ok thanks
[14:01] <error404notfound> is there a something like: http://www.susestudio.com/ for ubuntu as well? or should I go ahead and create it :P
[14:01] <kikokos> Captain_Haddock, thnax
[14:01] <AmarokeN> Cause i don't know what "VM" is? ;o
[14:01] <cwillu> AmarokeN, you should be able to install wow directly under ubuntu, there's a guide to do that that you should be able to find on google easily enough
[14:01] <Boohbah> error404notfound: http://ubuntustudio.org/
[14:01] <aleij> could someone help me get my 7.10 gusty to install kernel 2.6.18
[14:01] <error404notfound> Boohbah: that's hell different
[14:01] <aleij> i dont see it
[14:01] <cwillu> AmarokeN, searching for:  ubuntu world of warcraft  : should get you there
[14:01] <AmarokeN> i got WoW on: G:/, but Windows bugged it, can't use
[14:02] <AmarokeN> Unable to mount
[14:02] <AmarokeN> etc
[14:02] <Boohbah> error404notfound: oh yes you're right
[14:02] <cwillu> AmarokeN, well, windows support is in ##windows, but ya
[14:02] <Captain_Haddock> nvicf: not sure about DCs... but that's usually my first port of call for samba issues :)
[14:02] <AmarokeN> @ Ubuntu now, and no windows left
[14:02] <cwillu> can't expect us linux geeks to support beta releases of other os's :p
[14:02] <error404notfound> Boohbah: so is there something? or do I have to invent the wheel?
[14:02] <AmarokeN> ;)
[14:03] <AmarokeN> well, really, can't boot ANY of my 3 Windows Dvds / CD's, all are missing the bootfile, lol
[14:03] <AmarokeN> ( XP )
[14:03] <aleij> so is it possible i get my kernel to be 2.6.18
[14:03] <aleij> or ubuntu doesnt not allowed
[14:03] <Boohbah> error404notfound: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=688872
[14:03] <Captain_Haddock> error404notfound: no idea.. but wubi might have some more info, maybe
[14:03] <Trunkz> Okey, still no idea. Booting up into Ubuntu, rootfs errors are coming up. (i.e. no default root fs file was found etc..)
[14:03] <cwillu> AmarokeN, "man mount.ntfs" in a terminal should give you some clues (presuming you're somewhat familiar with how to mount somethign from the command line).  There's an option to ignore the 'needs chkdsk' flag and mount it anyway, although there's a chance it'll just end up doing more damage
[14:03] <Trunkz> What can I do?

[14:04] <melt01> i'm getting a strange constant beep from my speakers/headphones...if i adjust volume control slightly in ubuntu, the noise disappears..if i adjust it again, it makes a 'bubbling' beep  sound...driving me crazy, anyone know what it might be?
[14:04] <digital__> I had a issue with a external drive saying unclean shutdown couldnt mount so I went and tried a bunch of terminal commands to fix this with no luck, I think i must not be doing something right. But with that said I did get it fixed but was wondering why linux is so grrr when it comes to stuff like that. I fixed it by mounting it in windows and safley removing it and then mounting it in linux and all it well. the point to this rambling is well couldnt l
[14:04] <digital__> inux/ubuntu be this easy??
[14:04] <AmarokeN> Cwillu, pvt chat in order to help me correctly?
[14:04] <Pici> aleij: What version of Ubuntu are you running now?
[14:04] <AmarokeN> Completely*
[14:04] <AmarokeN> xD
[14:04] <aleij> 7.10
[14:04] <aleij> i need to downgrade
[14:04] <Boohbah> melt01: electrical interference from an unshielded sound cable?
[14:05] <Boohbah> aleij: you could download the source
[14:05] <aleij> AmarokeN: i just dont see how to change the sources to see that kernel
[14:05] <kitcat> hey
[14:05] <thrall_> irc://irc.torrentleech.org:7011/invites
[14:05] <error404notfound> so basically there is no site like http://www.susestudio.com/, I am going for it, will create a project on launchpad soon...
[14:05] <AmarokeN> Cwillu, i haven't even been using Ubuntu for over an hour, i'm NOT familiar with any of the geeky commands in linux, sorry (:
[14:05] <aleij> Boohbah: is not possible to get that via aptitude?
[14:06] <melt01> Boohbah: I haven't actually checked anything physically, it started only 10 or 20 mins ago...everything's been fine before that, I'll check now but it doesn't seem like that would be the case unless something popped off by a freak of nature
[14:06] <cwillu> AmarokeN, mount /dev/sd<something> /mnt -o force
[14:06] <cwillu> AmarokeN, ls /dev/sd* will list drives and partitions, which work about how you'd expect
[14:07] <AmarokeN> aha!
[14:07] <cwillu> AmarokeN, /dev/sda would be the first drive, /dev/sda1 would be the first partition on the first drive, etc
[14:07] <Musaafir> How can I allow a guest user to do network monitoring using wireshark? Currently the list of network interfaces does not come up ( ofcourse due to access rights)
[14:07] <Pici> !jeos | error404notfound
[14:07] <AmarokeN> then it'll be 3
[14:07] <cwillu> AmarokeN, the force option is completely unsupported though, it seriously may just break stuff
[14:07] <AmarokeN> so, Root?
[14:07] <cwillu> sudo
[14:07] <cwillu> sudo mount ...
[14:08] <gaber> re
[14:08] <AmarokeN> aha
[14:08] <error404notfound> Pici: yup, know about that... but even then this is different... :P
[14:08] <error404notfound> man its hot..
[14:08] <Boohbah> aleij: it looks like ubuntu only packages 2.6.15 for dapper and 2.6.20 for feisty so, no
[14:08] <gaber> where can I find fresh erlang packages for drapper?
[14:08] <Boohbah> aleij: why do you need a 2.6.18 kernel?
[14:08] <AmarokeN> Sudo: The command doesn't exist
[14:08] <AmarokeN> Bash: sudo*
[14:08] <Mooojk> has anyone experience with ATI HD4850 and crossfire working in Linux? I need support for 4 lcd screens.
[14:09] <aleij> Boohbah: cause the software i need to use, needs firewire modules that are diff on the newest kernel
[14:09] <melt01> Boohbah: everything looks fine on the sound cable interference front. it's really bizarre; im not getting much luck googling it, either
[14:10] <aleij> Boohbah: i think thats a good reason
[14:10] <Trunkz> How does one fix their root fs?
[14:10] <cwillu> !boot
[14:10] <Enfors> Anybody know if there's a package that contains Zork?
[14:10] <paul68> Jack_Sparrow:  hi thanks again for last night, just a question where do you get the info like the command for pastebinit you let me enter last night when you started? or is it something you created yourself?
[14:10] <cwillu> !grub
[14:10] <cwillu> Trunkz, check the links ^^^^
[14:10] <Trunkz> lookage
[14:10] <Pici> paul68: Its a package in the repositories
[14:10] <AmarokeN> Cwillu, that command just made me get alot of text here, lol
[14:11] <melt01> i can only hear the constant beep/and or the 'bubble' noise when the volume controls are set to max
[14:11] <ari_stress> hi guys, anyone has taken the ubuntu199 certified prof exam? is it written only or include labs?
[14:11] <melt01> if i adjust them slightly, the noise disappears
[14:11] <Enfors> digital: Yes, Zork the game. I want it, but can't find a package that has it.
[14:11] <cwillu> AmarokeN, which command?
[14:11] <jdangerous> i didnt lose grub i just lost he video
[14:11] <jdangerous> the*
[14:11] <AmarokeN> Cwillu:  sudo mount /dev sd2 mnt -o force
[14:11] <paul68> Pici: how do you know what jack let me excecute last night?
[14:11] <AmarokeN> *suggestions*
[14:11] <cwillu> AmarokeN, sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt -o force?
[14:11] <aleij> Boohbah: so, is theres a way to get ubuntu to use a not so old kernel?
[14:12] <cwillu> AmarokeN, slashes and such are quite important
[14:12] <aleij> withouth compiling it
[14:12] <aleij> manually
[14:12] <AmarokeN> that's what i wrote
[14:12] <AmarokeN> lol
[14:12] <Pici> paul68: Because I'm the one who told him about pastebinit in the first place.
[14:12] <Enfors> digital: Ok, I'll do that. Thanks. (not sure Zork works with Frotz though, but I could be wrong)
[14:13] <Boohbah> aleij: what kernel do you have now? 2.6.18 is between dapper and feisty, very old
[14:13] <paul68> Pici: ok but the complete commandline with all the info that he requested is that documented somewhere?
[14:13] <AmarokeN> Cwillu Mount: you need to tell what kind of file system it is ( ntfs ) , how? :P
[14:13] <aleij> Boohbah: i have 7.10 with 2.6.22 and i need 2.6.18
[14:13] <Boohbah> aleij: do a dist upgrade or a clean install http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading

[14:15] <Boohbah> aleij: then the best way would be to compile 2.6.18 from source
[14:15] <kikokos> Boohbah, ok :) this app convert it to .cdr file
[14:15] <AmarokeN> Cwillu, is there some other way than just talking over IRC to help ?
[14:16] <aleij> Boohbah: thanks, last question, where do i get the .config for that kernel?
[14:16] <kikokos> Boohbah, how to convert it to mp3? :P
[14:16] <cwillu> AmarokeN, if you're not going to answer my question, I can't help you
[14:16] <AmarokeN> remote desktop, like on windows, as an example
[14:16] <AmarokeN> i'm not sure it's the one
[14:16] <paul68> Pici: ?
[14:16] <cwillu> AmarokeN, you did the ls /dev/sd* thing?
[14:16] <AmarokeN> yes
[14:17] <bhargiii> I have problem with my Networkmanger every time I restart it does not launch I need to manually start it any help ?
[14:17] <cwillu> AmarokeN, do:  mount|grep /dev/sd
[14:17] <Boohbah> kikokos: lame can probably convert it
[14:17] <cwillu> AmarokeN, anything that shows up there won't be the window partition (unless it also says ntfs, but then we'd be done)
[14:17] <AmarokeN> Computer folder: First thing there: CD / dvd unit, 2nd, random ( Contains wow ), 3rd Tankat ( contains media ), 4th, File system
[14:18] <spx2> there was an online service providing VNC over WEB , what was it called?
[14:18] <cwillu> AmarokeN, terminal commands are more useful here

[14:19] <TakeABow> Can someone help me install an FTP server on hardy heron?
[14:19] <steffen_> Anyone have experience with ettercap and know some good howto/tutorials?
[14:19] <paul68> Pici: are you still available?
[14:19] <cwillu> AmarokeN, no, because other people may be watching what's going on as well.  If they can contribute something, they can jump right in, and it may even be helping somebody else with their problem
[14:19] <AmarokeN> oh

[14:19] <steffen_> TakeABow, Try look at vsftpd - http://www.wikihow.com/Setup-vsftpd-FTP-on-Ubuntu-Linux
[14:20] <cwillu> AmarokeN, yes
[14:20] <aleij> Boohbah: whats the name for the ubuntu that used 2.6.18?
[14:20] <cwillu> AmarokeN, and any /dev/sda entries you see will be partitions that are already mounted and accessible
[14:20] <kinja-sheep> Tex-Twil: Did you try it without sudo?
[14:20] <TakeABow> Cool, thanks steffen
[14:20] <cwillu> AmarokeN, if you see anything about ntfs there, then we might be done, otherwise, the /dev/sda that we need to use will be one that _isn't_ listed there

[14:22] <AmarokeN> after the mount| grip thingy?
[14:22] <Tex-Twil> kinja-sheep, if I run it without the sudo it says that I have to be root
[14:22] <cwillu> AmarokeN, no, just on its own line
[14:22] <AmarokeN> oh
[14:22] <cwillu> AmarokeN, (it'll show what partition is being used for swap)
[14:22] <ayande> is there any other app. beside noip that i can use to update my hostnames ip?
[14:22] <AmarokeN> sda5?
[14:22] <paul68> Jack_Sparrow: are you here?
[14:23] <Jack_Sparrow> YEa, but a bit busy, whats up
[14:23] <cwillu> AmarokeN, okay, and " ls /dev/sd* " says?
[14:23] <Vinceman> all movies I play on my machine halt after 0-2 seconds, why is that?
[14:23] <AmarokeN> jonny@jonny-desktop:~$ swapon -s

[14:23] <cwillu> AmarokeN, okay, and " ls /dev/sd* " says?
[14:23] <Kruxer> i wanna install libglib1.2 how?
[14:24] <AmarokeN> i wrote exactly that command you just said: Swapon -s
[14:24] <cwillu> carpii, sounds like a read error on the drive;
[14:24] <Jack_Sparrow> paul68 Whats up
[14:24] <cwillu> AmarokeN, okay, and " ls /dev/sd* " says?
[14:24] <kinja-sheep> Tex-Twil: Found an example -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers#Shutting%20Down%20From%20The%20Console%20Without%20A%20Password
[14:24] <carpii> hm
[14:24] <paul68> Jack_Sparrow: well wanted to know where you got all the info that you let me pasted yesterday when we started out
[14:24] <AmarokeN> i pasted it in the chat recently
[14:24] <carpii> ok i suppose ill just have to format :~((
[14:24] <paul68> Jack_Sparrow: sorry was on the phone
[14:24] <AmarokeN>  /dev/sda5 ?
[14:24] <cwillu> AmarokeN, the whole line
[14:25] <Jack_Sparrow> paul68 It wasnt from the web, just me and my notes.. Did everything work out
[14:25] <AmarokeN> jonny@jonny-desktop:~$ swapon -s

[14:25] <cwillu> AmarokeN, I need the output of:  ls /dev/sd*
[14:25] <cwillu> AmarokeN, for the 4th time...
[14:25] <AmarokeN> Hmm?
[14:25] <cwillu> type: ls /dev/sd*
[14:25] <paul68> Jack_Sparrow: yes it does thank you is there a way that you could share these with me or is it to personal?
[14:25] <Jack_Sparrow> paul68 cool came back to check on you, but you had gone
[14:25] <AmarokeN> oh
[14:25] <Tex-Twil> thanks kinja-sheep
[14:25] <paul68> Jack_Sparrow: was kinda late and had just 4 hours of sleep lol
[14:25] <Jack_Sparrow> paul68 Too jumbled to share and too long...
[14:26] <kinja-sheep> Tex-Twil: Well... Did it work?  I wanted to know.
[14:26] <AmarokeN>  /dev/sda  /dev/sda1  /dev/sda2  /dev/sda5  /dev/sdb  /dev/sdb1  /dev/sdc  /dev/sdc1
[14:26] <paul68> Jack_Sparrow: too bad but happy that you helped me oujt
[14:26] <qdb> hello. i have searching by content in main menu of gnome. i want this functionality when i work with gksudo nautilus or open that search program with gksudo. what command i should use ?
[14:26] <linuxman410> Kruxer sudo apt-get install libglib1.2-dev
[14:26] <Jack_Sparrow> paul68 I did rewrite a shorter fast-track for the sep home you were trying to create if you want to look at that
[14:26] <cwillu> AmarokeN, thanks
[14:26] <melt01> Boohbah: me again, beep noise problem guy...i restarted and went into windows, i dont have a prob there. when i restarted to go back into ubuntu, the noise started during the loading screen, right before the login screen...im not sure if something at startup is specifically causing this or if it just started when my sound devices actually loaded, but i know for sure it's not happening in windows
[14:27] <Tex-Twil> yes it worked kinja-sheep
[14:27] <paul68> Jack_Sparrow: since I want to learn it would have been very usefull , yes please
[14:27] <cwillu> AmarokeN, you have more than one drive?
[14:27] <AmarokeN> 3 actually
[14:27] <AmarokeN> 2 is bugged
[14:27] <cwillu> AmarokeN, okay.  Good things to know :)
[14:27] <cwillu> AmarokeN, sdb is the troublesome one?
[14:27] <kinja-sheep> Tex-Twil: Great. :)
[14:27] <cwillu> (a is the first drive, b is the second, etc)
[14:27] <Tex-Twil> kinja-sheep, the problem was the % in the beginning of the line + the "%admin ALL = (ALL) ALL" which was placed after
[14:27] <Kruxer> linuxman410, oh thanx :P
[14:27] <AmarokeN> "sdb" doesn't say a thing to me
[14:27] <AmarokeN> sorry :<
[14:28] <Vinceman> all movies I play on my machine halt after 0-2 seconds, why is that?
[14:28] <Vinceman> is my video card broken?
[14:28] <Jack_Sparrow> paul68 http://paste.ubuntu.com/110301/                  First draft.. let me know what it needs or where it went wrong if it did.  SOmetimes I gloss over things I think people should know
[14:28] <cwillu> AmarokeN, the a is the first drive, b is the second drive.  The numbers are which partition on a particular drive (so sda2 would be the second partition on the first drive, while sdb1 would be the first (and only) partition on the second drive
[14:28] <cwillu> AmarokeN, make sense?
[14:28] <AmarokeN> oh
[14:28] <ozzilee> Hi all. I'd like Ubuntu to change my chat presence to "Online" whenever the screen saver goes away, does anyone know if that is possible?
[14:28] <AmarokeN> sdc and sdb is struggling then
[14:28] <cwillu> AmarokeN, you'll be a guru in no time :p
[14:29] <h2co3> Vinceman: Which player do you use?
[14:29] <AmarokeN> ^
[14:29] <AmarokeN> ^^*
[14:29] <cwillu> AmarokeN, try:  sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt -o force
[14:29] <AmarokeN> $LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0)
[14:29] <AmarokeN> WARNING: Forced mount, reset $LogFile.
[14:29] <cwillu> AmarokeN, okay
[14:29] <qdb> i found
[14:30] <AmarokeN> is there any way to fix it?
[14:30] <cwillu> AmarokeN, now, type in:  nautilus /mnt
[14:30] <bukowski> i have a laptop with an atheros AR5007 wifi card. how can i install it?
[14:30] <paul68> Jack_Sparrow: thanks I will take a look at that
[14:30] <AmarokeN> ;O!
[14:30] <cwillu> AmarokeN, that'll open up a file browser, which will contain your files with any luck
[14:30] <AmarokeN> Yeah!
[14:30] <AmarokeN> Ty!
[14:30] <cwillu> AmarokeN, okay :)
[14:30] <Titan8990> bukowski: atheros support is built in to the kernel already, should be no need for installation
[14:31] <LuciferDarkWatch> Hi all
[14:31] <cwillu> AmarokeN, close the nautilus window now :p
[14:31] <AmarokeN> Done
[14:31] <melt01> i'm having a strange, constant beeping noise coming from my headphones/speakers... if i adjust the volume to a slightly lower level, it goes away or i can't hear it.. if i adjust it back to max, i get a bubbling beeping sounding...then if i put on some music, the constant, higher beeping noise comes back... i restarted into windows, this isn't happening there... any ideas?
[14:31] <cwillu> AmarokeN, and then run umount /mnt
[14:31] <cwillu> AmarokeN, and then try:  sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt -o force
[14:31] <cwillu> AmarokeN, to mount the third drive
[14:31] <cwillu> AmarokeN, will probably give the same error
[14:31] <AmarokeN> in terminal, unmount /mnt ?
[14:31] <bukowski> Titan8990, it doesnt recognise it. I remeber that the other time i unstalled ubuntu, i used a sudo apt get thing and then worked properly.
[14:31] <cwillu> AmarokeN, no
[14:31] <cwillu> AmarokeN, umount
[14:31] <bukowski> Titan8990, but i cannot remember what was the command :(
[14:32] <cwillu> AmarokeN, in the olden days, a single letter was considered precious, which is how we have silly command names like du, ls, df, and umount instead of unmount :p
[14:32] <AmarokeN> ah
[14:32] <AmarokeN> do i need to say which disk aswell?
[14:32] <cwillu> nope
[14:32] <AmarokeN> so, just umount /mtn
[14:32] <cwillu> AmarokeN, it knows which disk was mounted there
[14:32] <AmarokeN> mnt*
[14:32] <cwillu> umount /tmp
[14:32] <Titan8990> bukowski: pastebin your output of: ifconfig -a
[14:33] <cwillu> bah
[14:33] <cwillu> right
[14:33] <FloodBot2> cwillu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:33] <cwillu> umount /mnt :p
[14:33] <linuxman410> bukowski look here http://www.ubuntugeek.com/atheros-ar5007-wireless-with-madwifi-on-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron.html
[14:33] <d0netsFN> could someone help me fix my grub error 22

[14:33] <AmarokeN> i'm using a swedish version and it came up swe text
[14:33] <cwillu> AmarokeN, which?
[14:33] <cwillu> AmarokeN, you ran umount /mnt, right?
[14:33] <AmarokeN>  /mnt isnt in fstab and im not in root
[14:33] <AmarokeN> yea
[14:33] <melt01> no one's had this beeping noise ?
[14:33] <cwillu> oh
[14:34] <cwillu> AmarokeN, sorry, sudo umount /mnt :p
[14:34] <AmarokeN> nothing happened, just a new line
[14:34] <Slart> melt01: beeping noise? I didn't see the original question, could you repeat it?
[14:34] <cwillu> AmarokeN, good
[14:34] <cwillu> AmarokeN, you'll get this joke now: http://xkcd.com/149/
[14:34] <AmarokeN> how's it good that nothing happened?
[14:34] <cwillu> AmarokeN, silence generally means success
[14:34] <LuciferDarkWatch> I am looking for help! I am trying to install ubuntu on my laptop i got through all install steps and beginning but when it begins to format the partition pre-install my laptop just shuts down, i have tried a dozen times now and happens every time... Can anybody please tell me how i can stop this from happening... I have no experience with linux and am installing this so i can learn? Please Help
[14:34] <AmarokeN> indeed xD
[14:34] <melt01> Slart: i'm having a strange, constant beeping noise coming from my headphones/speakers... if i adjust the volume to a slightly lower level, it goes away or i can't hear it.. if i adjust it back to max, i get a bubbling beeping sounding...then if i put on some music, the constant, higher beeping noise comes back... i restarted into windows, this isn't happening there...
[14:35] <cwillu> AmarokeN, and then try:  sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt -o force
[14:35] <cwillu> AmarokeN, that'll mount the third drive
[14:35] <cwillu> AmarokeN, will probably give the same error
[14:35] <melt01> it's a very high pitched beep, long/constant not short/repeating
[14:35] <bukowski> Titan8990, http://pastebin.com/d3797f1a1
[14:35] <AmarokeN> yea
[14:35] <cwillu> AmarokeN, after that, run nautilus /mnt again, verify things look as expected
[14:35] <Slart> melt01: onboard soundcard? beeps change with processor load or graphics displayed on screen?
[14:35] <cwillu> AmarokeN, and then close nautilus, umount /mnt again
[14:36] <melt01> Slart: not at all, it only changes when i adjust the volume
[14:36] <akina> Hi! Is there a webcam recorder in linux which can remotely record captured images from different machine?
[14:36] <carpii> its onboard tho?
[14:36] <AmarokeN> nothing came up again ;D
[14:37] <Titan8990> bukowski: does this command return any results: lsmod | grep ath_pci
[14:37] <cwillu> AmarokeN, okay, now, from the places menu at the topleft of the screen, try clicking on one of the drives
[14:37] <cwillu> AmarokeN, it should just open normally
[14:37] <Slart> melt01: it might be some kind of hardware bug they have fixed in software.. I have the same thing but the other way around.. my onboard soundcard has a high pitched beep in windows but not in linux..
[14:37] <cwillu> AmarokeN, if it does, then we're done (as far as I know)
[14:37] <cwillu> AmarokeN, just make sure you always do a clean shutdown, etc
[14:37] <Slart> melt01: afaik it's not much you can do.. perhaps buy the sound card drivers some pizza and hope they fix it =)
[14:37] <bukowski> yes, Titan8990
[14:37] <Cr45h> hi all
[14:38] <AmarokeN> from now on, i will, i'd never expect it to get such major consequenses
[14:38] <AmarokeN> Thank you, Cwillu :)
[14:38] <melt01> Slart: I don't think it's CPU related. like I said, everything's fine and normal in windows, and anyway adjusting the volume makes the sound go away
[14:38] <AmarokeN> are you able to help me with Compiz while we're at it?
[14:38] <Titan8990> bukowski: alright, looks like things have changed slightly since I last did it but I found an article I think will help you get it going: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros
[14:38] <ozzilee> Does anyone know a way to run a script when the screensaver deactivates?
[14:38] <cwillu> AmarokeN, it's more of a safeguard than anything else, a native linux filesystem would just do a recovery and be done with it
[14:38] <alcohol> ubuntu is hating on my samba shares
[14:38] <alcohol> :(
[14:39] <alcohol> why?
[14:39] <cwillu> AmarokeN, what video card do you have?
[14:39] <AmarokeN> Nvidia Geforce 6800gt
[14:39] <Cr45h> alcohol, what happenz with samba shares?
[14:39] <melt01> or turns it into a 'bubbling' type repeating beep. i'm not really sure how to explain that particular beep... almost like the sound of a chopper taking off
[14:39] <cwillu> AmarokeN, installed the driver yet?  (there should have been a popup when you first installed)
[14:39] <AmarokeN> Yes
[14:39] <bukowski> Titan8990, thanks
[14:39] <alcohol> Cr45h: I open a file for editing, try to save it, I get no access :<
[14:39] <AmarokeN> but i think that one is outdated
[14:39] <cwillu> AmarokeN, okay, and what problem are you having?
[14:40] <AmarokeN> Api something?
[14:40] <Slart> melt01: well... drives can make a big difference.. it might just electronic interference you're hearing.. sometimes it's the cpu.. sometimes it's the graphics card.. I guess it could be general noise too
[14:40] <alcohol> Cr45h: or rather, now it says "Could not save the file /data/www/icob/new/icob/index.php. Unexpected error: Not a directory"
[14:40] <Cr45h> alcohol, check the permission of the folder and the file
[14:40] <cwillu> AmarokeN, sorry?  What problem are you having?
[14:40] <AmarokeN> i'll paste it when i try booting Compiz in Terminal in ur private chat tab, in order to not spam this chat
[14:40] <alcohol> Cr45h: I think everything is set to 777 or so :<
[14:40] <Cr45h> hmmm
[14:41] <melt01> Slart: you think it could still be electronic interference if it's not hitting it in windows?
[14:41] <Boohbah> AmarokeN: there is also the wonderful pastebin and its cousins, http://pastebin.com/ http://pastebin.ca/ http://rafb.net/paste/
[14:41] <bukowski> Titan8990, in synaptics there s no ath5k pagkage!
[14:41] <cwillu> AmarokeN, you installed the driver by going to nvidia.com and downloading it, didn't you
[14:42] <cwillu> AmarokeN, back over here :p
[14:42] <Vinceman> my brain is broken
[14:42] <cwillu> !pastebin AmarokeN
[14:42] <AmarokeN> sure
[14:42] <cwillu> !pastebin | AmarokeN
[14:42] <Slart> melt01: yes.. they could simply filter it out in the windows driver.. or do things differently
[14:42] <Twigathy> tjutju
[14:42] <melt01> Slart: sorry, I didn't catch everything you said a sec ago, I was lagged... alright, I'm going to start looking specifically at the drivers... thanks for the suggestions, take care
[14:42] <AmarokeN> Hmm?
[14:42] <Cr45h> alcohol, the samba share is on another machine or in your pc?
[14:42] <Slart> melt01: you're welcome.. hope you get it fixed
[14:42] <cwillu> AmarokeN, have you done anything... weird... with the nvidia driver?
[14:42] <Titan8990> bukowski: you have to enable to repository that contains it. Here is a guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[14:42] <melt01> me too =p
[14:42] <alcohol> Cr45h: local dev machine
[14:43] <Boohbah> AmarokeN: paste your error then, then link it here :)

[14:44] <cwillu> AmarokeN, paste it into that site, and then the address it gives you, paste _that_ here
[14:44] <cwillu> AmarokeN, you can talk now :p
[14:44] <AmarokeN> i did
[14:44] <cwillu> not here
[14:44] <Slart> Cadair: ok.. that should have made the bot tell you about irc clients.. but apparently it's sleeping or dead or something
[14:44] <AmarokeN> http://paste.ubuntu.com/110309/
[14:44] <cwillu> okay, thanks :)
[14:44] <Cadair> lol ok
[14:45] <cwillu> AmarokeN, go to system | administration | hardware drivers
[14:45] <h2co3> digital__: Try {Super/Windows} + {1}!
[14:45] <alcohol> guys, nautilus shows me the owner of a file, and says I am not the owner. but how can I see as which user nautilus detecs me? or rather, the remote system (since it's a samba share)?
[14:45] <burg> can anyone tell me if there are known issues with that model of notebook?
[14:45] <AmarokeN> Done
[14:45] <cwillu> AmarokeN, might be called driver setup
[14:45] <Slart> Cadair: I'll do it manually then... =) there's xchat and xchat-gnome.. both pretty mIRC like if you like that.. then there's irssi for command line.. and quassel.. there's probably a couple of others that people will yell at me for forgetting
[14:45] <JackWinter> just got a new keyboard and mouse. anyone use hidpoint ?  any opinions ?
[14:46] <AmarokeN> nvidia accelerated graphics driver (version 173)
[14:46] <cwillu> AmarokeN, does it show 180 as available?
[14:46] <AmarokeN> no, 177
[14:46] <digital__>  h2co3 nope
[14:46] <cwillu> AmarokeN, does it show 177 as enabled?
[14:46] <AmarokeN> i got 180 on my desktop
[14:46] <Cadair> cool thanks a lot
[14:46] <cwillu> AmarokeN, don't use that :p
[14:46] <AmarokeN> it does now :p
[14:46] <cwillu> AmarokeN, okay, disable 177
[14:46] <cwillu> don't reboot yet though
[14:46] <AmarokeN> hmm?
[14:47] <cwillu> just hit disable
[14:47] <AmarokeN> it says 177 is the recommended
[14:47] <cwillu> yes, I know :p
[14:47] <h2co3> digital__: Hm... What were your last moves, before this happened?
[14:47] <AmarokeN> Well, i thought you told me to activate the 177 version, but i cancelled it
[14:47] <cwillu> AmarokeN, no, disable
[14:48] <AmarokeN> it's not enabled not atleast
[14:48] <cwillu> AmarokeN, next, close that window, and open system | admin | synaptic package manager
[14:48] <AmarokeN> Done ;
[14:48] <cwillu> AmarokeN, look for a package called nvidia-glx-180
[14:49] <AmarokeN> cant find it ,S
[14:49] <digital__>  h2co3 none that I know of  I just need the zoom feature as I have vision issue and it helps

[14:49] <cwillu> AmarokeN, yes, don't use it though,
[14:50] <cwillu> AmarokeN, is your desktop background a bird or a buffalo?
[14:50] <AmarokeN> i can't remember which version my friend installed for me
[14:50] <bukowski> Titan8990 ?
[14:50] <AmarokeN> it's Jennifer love hewitt, lawl
[14:50] <bukowski> there is no deb command in this site for installing that repository in intrepid.

[14:51] <runpain2> Is there a way to use yahoo msnger games in ubuntu my wife and her daughter Who lives in wisconsin like to play litria with each other and talk they are both handicapped
[14:51] <Cr45h> AmarokeN, go under "System - About Ubuntu" and u'll see the version ;)
[14:51] <AmarokeN> intrepid?
[14:51] <cwillu> AmarokeN, k
[14:51] <cwillu> AmarokeN, in synaptic, open settings -> repositories
[14:51] <AmarokeN> 8:10 atleast
[14:51] <iPeter-> Hey, i'd would want to make shortcuts to enable and disable compiz, what was that command?
[14:52] <cwillu> AmarokeN, and under "ubuntu software", make sure main, universe, restricted and multiverse are all enabled
[14:52] <AmarokeN> wait
[14:52] <cwillu> (overkill, yes I know, no, I don't care :p)
[14:52] <AmarokeN> "repositories" hmm
[14:52] <AmarokeN> ;o
[14:52] <Slart> iPeter-: metacity --reload and compiz --reload?
[14:52] <Cr45h> alcohol, found the problem?
[14:52] <cwillu> AmarokeN, in synaptic, the settings menu, repositories
[14:52] <alcohol> Cr45h: no ):
[14:52] <iPeter-> thanks
[14:52] <AmarokeN> idk the translation for that word, lol xd
[14:52] <AmarokeN> bad english, my bad
[14:53] <cwillu> AmarokeN, second menu from the right, and the second item from the top
[14:53] <lkoekoek> Q) Im a noob, so please forgive me. When im using the command 'man' (as an example man mkdir) it will often say at the bottom of the page 'SEE ALSO mkdir(8) or something. How do I view the "(8)" part? does that make any sense?
[14:53] <Pici> lkoekoek: man 8 mkdir
[14:53] <alcohol> why does cr45h keep disconnecting? :<
[14:53] <cwillu> lkoekoek, if there's more than one mkdir manual, man 8 mkdir will take you to the specific one its referencing
[14:53] <lkoekoek> oh cool, thanks Pici
[14:53] <runpain2> i tried to install rh9.ymessenger-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm but the dependacys are not with ubuntu only red hat 9
[14:54] <cwillu> AmarokeN, find it?
[14:54] <AmarokeN> that just gets me to files > remove downloaded packages aftger install
[14:54] <AmarokeN> after'
[14:54] <cwillu> AmarokeN, okay, lets do this the command line way (see why? :p)
[14:54] <AmarokeN> yeah
[14:54] <cwillu> AmarokeN, actually
[14:54] <cwillu> bah
[14:54] <cwillu> AmarokeN, ya, close synaptic, and then in system | admin | software sources
[14:55] <tim__> i added a user via: useradd -r passenger
[14:55] <tim__> now -- how do i assign him a password
[14:55] <cwillu> AmarokeN, and sure main, universe, restricted and multiverse are all enabled in the window that opens
[14:55] <runpain2> Is there a way to use yahoo msnger games in ubuntu my wife and her daughter Who lives in wisconsin like to play litria with each other and talk they are both handicapped i tried to install rh9.ymessenger-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm but the dependacys are not with ubuntu only red hat 9
[14:55] <AmarokeN> hold on now, trying to find out which one is "software sources" ;o
[14:56] <cwillu> AmarokeN, the icon (picture) for it should be almost the same as for synaptic
[14:56] <AmarokeN> got it
[14:56] <cwillu> k
[14:56] <Titan8990> bukowski: sorry, had to go afk a min, you still around?
[14:56] <AmarokeN> and after i opened the program?
[14:57] <cwillu> AmarokeN, under ubuntu software, you should see five checkboxes?
[14:57] <bukowski> Titan8990, sure.
[14:57] <AmarokeN> yeah
[14:57] <cwillu> main, universe, restricted and multiverse, plus source code
[14:57] <cwillu> make sure they're all enabled
[14:57] <cwillu> tell me if any weren't
[14:57] <bukowski> Titan8990, is there any command to add the backport repository on synaptics?
[14:57] <AmarokeN> one weren't
[14:57] <cgegner> t
[14:57] <AmarokeN> Sourcecode
[14:57] <bukowski> Titan8990, i'm pretty confused about it.
[14:57] <AmarokeN> or w/e it's called
[14:57] <AmarokeN> the one at the bottom
[14:57] <cwillu> AmarokeN, restricted was enabled?
[14:57] <cwillu> hmm
[14:58] <cwillu> AmarokeN, okay, close that window
[14:58] <AmarokeN> sec
[14:58] <cwillu> AmarokeN, in the terminal, type: sudo aptitude update
[14:58] <Titan8990> bukowski: there was an alternate link for how to add it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[14:58] <AmarokeN> wait not
[14:58] <AmarokeN> nowÄ
[14:58] <AmarokeN> now*
[14:59] <AmarokeN> Sourcecode can't be enabled, no checkbox isn't working correct
[14:59] <Titan8990> bukowski: you either use the GUI described there or you add it to /etc/apt/sources.list
[14:59] <Veritas718> hey i am trying to do a super multi boot- windows xp vista windows 7 osx86 and ubuntu. but i want them all running virtually and at x64 i tried esx server and that royally sucked bacause i have one great computer with the video card and i want to play games within the main os I am thinking about using vista and vmware to get all the other o/ss at once any reccomendations
[14:59] <cwillu> AmarokeN, that's fine
[14:59] <digital__> Ok I have here a older computer and would like the zoom feature the one where super/mousewheel up to zoom in and mouse wheel back to well zoom out . But I cant enable desktop effects with this older somputer is there a way to get this done?
[14:59] <Veritas718> i want the best performace
[14:59] <AmarokeN> just changes colour, but no "v" in the box
[14:59] <Veritas718> i have a 9800gt and a xeon 3110 at 3.6 ghz
[14:59] <cwillu> digital_, you'd need to get a new video card for it
[15:00] <cwillu> digital_, I think there maybe some software that can give you a similar feature, but I don't know what it's called
[15:00] <hRedBeard1> Can anyone recommend a good Remote Desktop manager package?
[15:00] <Titan8990> bukowski: and I guess you could do with a command using echo and append: echo 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list
[15:00] <bcgrown> i am on ubuntu 8.10.  I have bluetooth working for file transfers etc.   Can anybody tell me why "sdptool search" or "sdptool browse"   just says "Searching..."  or "Browsing..."  and then nothing?
[15:00] <AmarokeN> it came up something about software not updated?
[15:00] <cwillu> AmarokeN, that's fine, just close that window, and run " sudo aptitude update " in a terminal
[15:00] <digital__> this pc isnt worth a graphics card
[15:01] <AmarokeN> Updating...
[15:01] <AmarokeN> Done
[15:01] <cwillu> digital_, doesn't have to be a good graphics card, it just needs to be something made in the last year or two
[15:01] <bukowski> Titan8990, i type this into command line and says permission denied
[15:01] <cwillu> digital_, cheapest one you can buy will work fine
[15:01] <cwillu> AmarokeN, after that's finished, type aptitude install nvidia-glx-180
[15:02] <Titan8990> bukowski: that was just an example, I'm not sure that syntax is correct. You have to use sudo to edit config files in the /etc directory
[15:02] <zinguango> hola
[15:02] <AmarokeN> 100 years to install it ;o
[15:02] <cwillu> bukowski, http://xkcd.com/149/
[15:02] <cwillu> :p
[15:02] <SURFkees> If something is started via inittab on a tty, is there a way when I login via SSH to get the console output to me? To take control of that tty?
[15:03] <bukowski> Titan8990, sudo kate does not work for me! how can i edit as root?
[15:03] <user12345> hello. i have following problem with vmware player (both player window and machine window).
[15:03] <user12345> window disappearing after opening the menu and clicking somewhere right in menu bar while menu is opened.
[15:03] <user12345> machine continue working, but there is no way to make it active. there is no icon in task bar and no in the alt+tab switcher.
[15:03] <cwillu> AmarokeN, it's basically the same thing as you have on your desktop, but set up to put things in the right places for ubuntu, and generally not muck things up
[15:03] <Titan8990> bukowski: try: gksu gate
[15:03] <Titan8990> bukowski: try: err kate
[15:03] <AmarokeN> wow, neat :)
[15:04] <bukowski> it works :)
[15:04] <AmarokeN> yay, done
[15:04] <cwillu> AmarokeN, once it's installed, I _think_ you just need to reboot, and then you can enable compiz
[15:04] <akina> hi! what could be the problem when I use ./configure and have this error: failed program confdefs.h. I'm installing zoneminder
[15:04] <bukowski> Titan8990, ah... it doesnt work.
[15:04] <AmarokeN> one last question: Chat program for msn?, Kopete?, Pidgin? ;S
[15:04] <Cr45h> pidgin
[15:04] <Cr45h> :P
[15:04] <citizen42alpha> Finch.
[15:04] <thiebaude> AmarokeN, xchat
[15:04] <Cr45h> lol
[15:04] <cwillu> AmarokeN, whichever you prefer
[15:04] <Titan8990> bukowski: use nano, every *buntu has it...
[15:04] <AmarokeN> haven't tried all of em, lol
[15:05] <cwillu> thiebaude, you fail at reading comprehension :p  (he specifically mentioned msn)
[15:05] <cwillu> thiebaude, I like pidgin myself
[15:05] <Titan8990> bukowski: nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[15:05] <cwillu> AmarokeN, I like pidgin myself
[15:05] <Titan8990> bukowski: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[15:05] <thiebaude> yea, pidgin is good too
[15:05] <Chantre> pidgin
[15:05] <Cr45h> i could merge the contacts between 2 msn ID and gmail's ones... :P all in one program..
[15:06] <bukowski> Titan8990, it works! now what deb i add?
[15:06] <Cr45h> btw, i've a question... what u can say about skype?
[15:06] <Slart> akina: you've installed the build-essential package?
[15:06] <[tggrBot]> does anyone have an reccommendations of a windows user switching to linux hoping to Use c?
[15:06] <Cr45h> i've installed it but, once i'm connected, i can't see the userlist...
[15:07] <Cr45h> and it seems to freeze
[15:07] <AmarokeN> in order to start wow via Wine, how? ^
[15:07] <o7> tggrBot: pm
[15:07] <cwillu> AmarokeN, search google
[15:07] <Slart> [tggrBot]: gcc is nice.. you'll have to find an editor you feel comfortable.. take a look at anjuta.. unless of course, you like vim/emacs or such
[15:07] <Pici> !appdb | AmarokeN
[15:07] <AmarokeN> sure bacon ;)
[15:07] <cwillu> AmarokeN, "ubuntu wow wine" should find a guide
[15:08] <Titan8990> bukowski: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports   the one for your distro on that page
[15:08] <carpii> can i use rsync to completely backup a ubuntu install?
[15:08] <tim__> from the command line -- i have created a user via useradd -r myuser -- is there an automated way to make the home directory, etc?
[15:08] <burg> !tell burg nvidia 8200
[15:08] <carpii> and then just reformat and copy all the files back later?
[15:08] <burg> !tell burg asus
[15:08] <tim__> with all the standard files .bash, etc
[15:08] <Cr45h> AmarokeN, remember... if u wanna start a 3D app such wow, u've to disable compiz ;)
[15:08] <TakeABow> Is apache installed on hardy heron by default?
[15:08] <Titan8990> bukowski: same syntax, i believe it goes on per line like: deb url: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu main
[15:08] <Giraffe> !wpa
[15:08] <carpii> tim, doesnt useradd have an option to create home dir?
[15:08] <bukowski> Titan8990, i am on 8.10 :) there is only until 8.04
[15:09] <Giraffe> !networkmanager
[15:09] <carpii> TakeABow, its in the repos, I dont know if its there by default
[15:09] <tim__> so the user is already created -- how do i build their home directory ?
[15:09] <cwillu> TakeABow, not by default, no
[15:09] <cwillu> TakeABow, it's in the repo, easy to install
[15:09] <cwillu> !apache
[15:09] <Titan8990> bukowski: 8.10 is on there
[15:10] <tim__> should i delete the user and start over?
[15:10] <carpii> sure why not
[15:10] <cwillu> Cr45h, wow coexists just fine with compiz
[15:10] <robindesbois05> allo
[15:10] <carpii> or just create the dir manually
[15:10] <carpii> im not really sure what it is you want to copy into the dir
[15:10] <cwillu> Cr45h, the whole idea of aiglx is that you can run nested glx apps
[15:10] <tim__> carpii, i take it you are talking to me?
[15:10] <bukowski> archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-backports main universe multiverse restricted :) i have it already enabled!
[15:10] <carpii> yes tim, sorry
[15:10] <Cr45h> cwillu, oh... dunno wow, but i tried to start Urban Terror and Warcraft 3 just to try and with compiz enabled i had problems...
[15:11] <bukowski> Titan8990,  archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-backports main universe multiverse restricted :) i have it already enabled!
[15:11] <carpii> im on windows now so I cant really advise you any better
[15:11] <cwillu> Cr45h, some drivers may have issues, but it's a driver issue, not a compiz issue
[15:11] <bukowski> Titan8990, but i have no this ath5k thing on my synaptics! :(
[15:11] <cwillu> Cr45h, nvidia's work fine generally, intel works fine too afaik
[15:11] <Cr45h> cwillu, yep it could be, i'm on a laptop with intel card so.. i can't expect it works as i wish :P
[15:12] <carpii> tim, pass -m when you create the user
[15:12] <Titan8990> bukowski: run: sudo apt-get update
[15:12] <cwillu> Cr45h, I've got a nv7300gt that runs wow fine, while running compiz in a 2560x1024 screen
[15:12] <cwillu> (dual 1280x1024's)
[15:12] <tim__> carpii, thanks
[15:12] <carpii> np
[15:12] <Cr45h> cwillu, great!!
[15:12] <cwillu> bukowski, you need to install linux-restricted-modules or something like that
[15:13] <bcgrown> is anybody here able to help me set up bluetooth sync for my phone?
[15:13] <bukowski> ehm... the other time i did it it was just one command in the prompt...
[15:13] <cwillu> bukowski, apt-get install linux-restricted-modules is one command in the prompt :p
[15:13] <bukowski> :D
[15:13] <Cr45h> bcgrown, can't... i've problems me too trying to detect bluetooth card on my laptop.. :/
[15:14] <bcgrown> cr45h: :(  my usb dongle was detected right away so i'm afraid i haven't got any clues for you
[15:14] <AmaroKeN> Guess who's back with more problems! :P
[15:14]  * cwillu hides
[15:14] <Titan8990> bukowski: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid
[15:14] <AmaroKeN> seriously, how do i configure Compiz? ;o
[15:15] <cwillu> what does it do when you start it?
[15:15] <cwillu> shouldn't need configuration really
[15:15] <Titan8990> AmaroKeN: ccsm
[15:15] <AmaroKeN> ccsm?
[15:15] <cwillu> Titan8990, lets establish that it's actually working first :p
[15:15] <cwillu> AmaroKeN, is it working at all?
[15:15] <Pici> !ccsm | AmaroKeN
[15:15] <e3co> AmaroKeN:  Add/remove Compiz settings manager
[15:15] <AmaroKeN> Wobbly wiiie
[15:15] <Titan8990> AmaroKeN: compizconfig settings manager
[15:15] <cwillu> AmaroKeN, is it working at all?  ccsm won't help you if compiz doesn't start in the first place
[15:15] <Titan8990> cwillu: the backport repository?
[15:15] <kouya> can someone explain how i install moblock?
[15:16] <e3co> what is moblock?
[15:16] <cwillu> Titan8990, no, AmaroKeN
[15:16] <AmaroKeN> Well, my windows are all wobbly, so yes?
[15:16] <cwillu> AmaroKeN, okay, good
[15:16] <cwillu> AmaroKeN, install ccsm, and play :p
[15:16] <cwillu> AmaroKeN, actually, kill compiz if you ran it from the terminal, and turn it on via system | preferences | appearances instead
[15:16] <AmaroKeN> sudo apt get ccsm?
[15:16] <cwillu> AmaroKeN, (appearances | effects | normal or extra)
[15:17] <Pici> AmaroKeN: see the message from ubottu above
[15:17] <cwillu> AmaroKeN, then it'll actually start when you log in, rather than you having to run compiz by hand each time
[15:17] <AmaroKeN> how do i kill compiz?
[15:17] <Titan8990> AmaroKeN: compizconfig-settings-manager
[15:17] <cwillu> AmaroKeN, did you run it from the terminal?
[15:17] <Jack_Sparrow> AmaroKeN You trying to setup cube etc?
[15:17] <AmaroKeN> yeah ;p
[15:17] <AmaroKeN> Jack, yes
[15:17] <cwillu> AmaroKeN, ctrl+c
[15:17] <Jack_Sparrow> AmaroKeN Install ccsm  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
[15:18] <e3co> I want to change my "extra" effects to say "are you out of your mind?" is that possible? are those kinds of things binaries?
[15:18] <linuxman410> kouya look at this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MoBlock
[15:18] <kouya> thanks!
[15:18] <e3co> or scripts?
[15:18] <Jack_Sparrow> AmaroKeN For Animations like Burning windows..Open CCSM  Under Effects.. Enable Animations and Animations add-ons... Close CCSM, Reopen CCSM, Double click Animations.. You will see tabs for Open, Close, Minimize etc... On the tab marked Open Select.. New.. Where it says open Effect Select... Burn.. Set Duration to 150.. For Window Match.. Type (type=Normal | Menu | PopupMenu | DropdownMenu | Dialog | ModalDialog)
[15:18] <cwillu> e3co, look at ubottu's comment to AmaroKeN above
[15:18] <Pici> e3co: Further compiz help is in #compiz, they can help with that
[15:18] <AmaroKeN> Well, installing the CCSM now
[15:19] <AmaroKeN> there!
[15:19] <AmaroKeN> ty
[15:19] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[15:19] <kouya> well first time i use key ring. (I like to know what happen when i do something in terminal)  what does keyring or "gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv 9072870B " do?
[15:20] <e3co> cwillu:  I don't see anything wrong with asking a general on topic question. A simple I don't know would have done fine.
[15:20] <neurobuntu> kouya, it uploads your key to the keyserver
[15:20] <cwillu> e3co, eh?  I told you the answer
[15:20] <cwillu> !ccsm | e3co
[15:21] <e3co> I can change what text is in Appearance Programs taps with ccsm?
[15:21] <Pici> e3co: taps?
[15:22] <kouya> what is "my key" and what is it used for?
[15:22] <cwillu> """If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties"""
[15:22] <e3co> Yeah you know how it says "Extra" effects. I want to change what it says from extra to "are you crazy?"
[15:23] <cwillu> e3co, could you read what ubottu just messaged you?  ccsm is exactly what you're asking for, I'm not going to say it again :p
[15:23] <cwillu> e3co, there's a further step beyond ccsm, but ccsm is the step after 'extra'
[15:23] <Pici> e3co: No, you can't do that.  That would involve modifying the source code which is beyond the scope of this channel
[15:23] <cwillu> the step after that is 'download the source, and modify stuff'
[15:24] <cwillu> e3co, ccsm allows extensive customization to the compiz settings
[15:24] <Pici> kouya: Its used for getting key 9072870B from that keyserver.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Privacy_Guard
[15:24] <Pici> !gpg > kouya
[15:25] <ubuntu_is_dabest> anyone got guide book how to install dazuko on ubuntu?

[15:32] <nero> say, if I have a directory, with a bunch of text files, and sub-directories also containing a bunch of text files, and I want to concatenate them all together (order doesn't matter).. can anyone think of a way to do this?  Unfortunately cat doesn't have a "recursive" option...
[15:32] <kouya> '/etc/apt/sources.list' what is this file used for?
[15:33] <Titan8990> kouya: it contains your repositories
[15:33] <Jimmymaniac> Hi. Quick question: On redhad-derived systems there's a file, /etc/redhat-release, which tells you the OS release you're running. Is there a similar file on ubuntu?
[15:33] <bukowski> Titan8990, i have added the repository, and still cant find ath5k package in there...
[15:33] <sarmisak> nero: you can write a one liner
[15:34] <trailbrain> How do I browse samba network shares in Xubuntu?
[15:34] <Guest82365> how can i open file.pak
[15:34] <cwillu> Jimmymaniac, lsb-release
[15:34] <nero> sarmisak, any tips on what that one line would be? ;)
[15:34] <Titan8990> bukowski: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid
[15:34] <Jack_Sparrow> cwillu lsb_release -a
[15:34] <sarmisak> nero: for i in `find | grep \.txt`; do cat $1 >> newfile.txt; done
[15:34] <cwillu> Jack_Sparrow, he wanted the file name, I gave him the file name :p
[15:34] <bukowski> Titan8990, i did it.
[15:34] <nero> sarmisak, thanks.. I'll give that a try.. :)
[15:34] <cwillu> /etc/lsb-release is the file in question Jimmymaniac
[15:34] <sarmisak> nero: no problem.

[15:37] <dgetsman> hello everyone.  I'm running ubuntu 8.10 server on a machine here and the periodic updates that are being installed (ie the vim security patches that were released in the past 48 hours, etc) are playing havoc with my IDS with constantly changing checksums for system binaries at random times.  does anybody know of a way to disable this and enable these updates only when i manually run something?  I'm not even sure what cronjob/script is invoking th
[15:37] <dgetsman> my experience with ubuntu is primarily with desktop, to this point, and different oses used for servers :P
[15:37]  * dgetsman is back. 
[15:38] <Haldaug> Hello, I have a problem with nautilus: When I start a new session, the "find-as-you-type" search doesn't work until I have used the ctrl+f first.
[15:38] <cwillu> dgetsman, there's /etc/cron.{daily/weekly/hourly} folders
[15:39] <shiMMer> how can i open file.pak
[15:39] <kouya> made it, installed it. Thanks! (but i really didn't understand what i did). do i need to delete the key if i remove the program again?
[15:40] <Haldaug> I'm on 8.10, btw
[15:40]  * dgetsman is gone. configuration changes
[15:41] <adam> is there a better way to clean up old/unused files/packages other than apt-get clean/autoclean/autoremove?
[15:41] <cwillu> adam, not terribly
[15:42] <cwillu> adam, both synaptic and aptitude will do such cleanup automatically though
[15:42] <fosco_> adam: gtkorphan
[15:42] <cq> who should own directories under /var/www? www-data:root?
[15:43] <Haldaug> Anyone got any thoughts about my problem?
[15:43] <neurobuntu> for some reason I can't unlock the Users Settings pannel, when I run it from the terminal I get the following error: ** (users-admin:2761): CRITICAL **: Unable to find session for cookie
[15:44] <achadwick> cq: doesn't matter really, provided it's all readable to world. But www-data:www-data g+rwx is traditional for any dir the webserver is expected to have read/write access to.
[15:45] <adam> fosco, that works, thanks
[15:47] <cq> achadwick: thanks, that did it...
[15:47] <TakeABow> What is and where do I find REPOs?
[15:47] <NeoMatrixJR> can anyone help...trying to load lirc_it87 and getting "i/o port 0x0310 already in use".  port not listed in /proc/ioports
[15:48] <Haldaug> TakeABow: REPOs are servers where you can download software via the apt-system

[15:48] <TakeABow> If not, how do I install apache?
[15:49] <Jack_Sparrow> !lamp
[15:50] <TakeABow> Can someone walk me through installing this LAMP thing?
[15:50] <Titan8990> TakeABow: package management is very easy in ubuntu, if it is not installed, it won't be a problem
[15:50] <TakeABow> I am a complete noob
[15:50] <Slart> what is the status on bluetooth and intrepid? is it still broken? will it get better in jaunty? is it worth the effort to hunt down patched source for bluez and whatnot?

[15:53] <holyguyver> Is Baughn here?
[15:54] <holyguyver> Flannel, it is still doing the badblock check, how long should it take?
[15:55] <cwillu> holyguyver, depending on the size of the drive, up to several hours
[15:55] <biouser> evince + mozplugger, acroread mosplugin is dead in jaunty for the moment
[15:55] <cwillu> holyguyver, possibly longer if you've actually got bad blocks
[15:55] <holyguyver> cwillu, it is 500GB & it has abeen about 10 hours.
[15:55] <filthpig> ﻿hey all. In Emesene, is there some way I can force incoming text to one specific color? I'm using a black theme in ubuntu/gnome now and since most people write with black text it gets a bit bothersome to read ;) (got no reply over at #emesene)
[15:56] <holyguyver> cwillu, Yes I have bad blocks
[15:56] <holyguyver> cwillu, A year & a half ago I dropped this hardrive from 4 feet.
[15:56] <cwillu> holyguyver, sounds like alot of bad blocks, indeed
[15:56] <TakeABow> Hello again
[15:56] <TakeABow> When I type in
[15:56] <TakeABow> "sudo tasksel install lamp-server"
[15:56] <TakeABow> It says
[15:56] <FloodBot2> TakeABow: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:56] <TakeABow> Aptitude failed?
[15:57] <cwillu> holyguyver, you're not hoping to be able to continue using the drive after this are you?
[15:57] <cwillu> holyguyver, aside from backing up whatever you can
[15:57] <holyguyver> cwillu, Yes I am hoping to continue using it.
[15:57] <cwillu> holyguyver, you shouldn't...
[15:57] <kantxx> hey all.. im having an issue w/ networkmanger and wifi.. wpa_supplicant doesnt appear to be running at all
[15:57] <cwillu> holyguyver, odds are you're going to have more and more corruption (i.e., new blocks going bad)
[15:57] <holyguyver> cwillu, there is no need to backup the stuff on this harddrive, it was fulled backed up a year & a half ago when it fell.
[15:57] <asdfavm01> #redhat

[15:58] <asdfavm01> damn
[15:58] <asdfavm01> ;)
[15:58] <cwillu> holyguyver, spending 50 bucks on a new 500gb drive is honestly the best option
[15:58] <cwillu> holyguyver, the more paranoid among us wouldn't consider using a drive with a single known bad block :p
[15:58] <TakeABow> Hello, in the terminal, I type in "sudo tasksel install lamp-server" and it says "aptitude failed". Any help?
[15:58] <holyguyver> cwillu, I do not have 5$ to my name, so the only way I can get another one is if you buy me one with your money. Are you willng to?
[15:58] <JackWinter> what would you guys reccomend for adding logitech kb/mouse support to 8.04 ?  tried hidpoint which seems to support my wave keyboard, but not mx revolution mouse.
[15:58] <cwillu> holyguyver, , (although I'm not sure that's practical in this day and age)
[15:59] <Titan8990> TakeABow: skip that and start at the Installing Apache2 section
[15:59] <cwillu> holyguyver, you have a problem then :/
[15:59] <cym> hello evrybody !
[15:59] <Haldaug> No help for me here, then?
[16:00] <cwillu> holyguyver, check what smartctl  -a /dev/<drive> says about it
[16:00] <holyguyver> cwillu, see that is why I need to use this drive, I need to use it for the next 3 months until I can save up the money to buy a new one.
[16:00] <cwillu> holyguyver, (apt-get install smartmontools if it's not installed)
[16:00] <holyguyver> cwillu, I did that over 5 days ago. What do you wish to know?
[16:00] <cwillu> holyguyver, do you have the output still?
[16:00] <holyguyver> I pastebined it 5 days ago to the people in this room
[16:00] <cym> how can I see the disks on my machine ? there are 2 ATA disks, one 80BG the other 160BG; the 160GB is bootable, there is a ubuntu/gnome on it but I cannot see the other disk
[16:00] <Brack10> mwas: it's exactly like the one on windows
[16:01] <Brack10> oops nm
[16:01] <cwillu> Holmen, smartctl -t short /dev/<drive>, and about 15 seconds later, the output oof smartctl -a /dev/<drive>
[16:01] <michaelfavia> i just installed kde-nightly to test out kde4.2 but i dont have network connectivity in kde and i cant find a network manager of any type. do i need to install one?
[16:01] <Titan8990> cym: use: sudo fdisk -l
[16:01] <holyguyver> cwillu, I pastebinned it 5 days ago to the people in this room, what about the output do you wish to know?
[16:01] <cym> ok Titan8990 thx
[16:01] <cwillu> holyguyver, the output of the test I just told you to run
[16:02] <cym> great !!! thank you Titan8990 !!
[16:02] <cwillu> holyguyver, which is more than just running smartctl -a would give you (the -t test starts the test, the -a will include the outcome of that test after it runs)
[16:02] <holyguyver> cwillu, I know, I am asking what about the output do you want to see, what information from it do you want to know?
[16:02] <Titan8990> cym: np
[16:02] <cwillu> holyguyver, I want to see the output of a short read test
[16:02] <Holmen> cwillu: highlight the right person next time =)
[16:02] <holyguyver> cwillu, I will tell you the resault, I have thousands of bad sectors.
[16:02] <cwillu> Holmen, sorry :p
[16:03] <holyguyver> cwillu, I just gave you the answer as best as I am going to give it to you.
[16:03] <cym> mmh... the command to mount the disk and see it in system file ??
[16:04] <cwillu> holyguyver, you don't seem very keen on helping me, I can't look up a pastebin from 5 days, and there's _lots_ of useful information in a smartctl about the expected lifetime of a drive, that isn't simply reducable to 'how many bad sectors'
[16:04] <holyguyver> cwillu, so if you wish to know something other then the number of bad sectors, then let me know what it is you wish to know?
[16:05] <Titan8990> cym: sudo mkdir /media/sdxx          mount /dev/sdxx /media/sdxx
[16:05] <kantxx> hey all.. im having an issue w/ networkmanger and wifi.. wpa_supplicant doesnt appear to be running at all
[16:05] <holyguyver> cwillu, I am sorry but I do not have the pastebin link from 5 days ago & I cannot run any tests on the drive at the minute as I am wiping & reformatting it as we speak
[16:05] <Titan8990> cym: sorry, that should be: sudo mount /dev/sdxx /media/sdxx
[16:06] <cwillu> holyguyver, smartctl -a can run without affecting any other activity (it's reading data from the controller, not the platter)
[16:06] <cym> OK Titan8990 I tried just mount (w.o. mkdir) and it did not work ! Thx again
[16:06] <Titan8990> cym: ah, np
[16:06] <cwillu> holyguyver, even a test run can run concurrently with other activity, the drive will simply suspend the test until there's a free moment
[16:06] <holyguyver> cwillu, then I shall indeed give you the output, give me a mminute to do so
[16:06] <^Cheeky> hi, does anyone know of any good media player, other than vlc. that supports , subtitiles ? i used vlc but the subtitles pack i has 2 files .. i think for cd1 or cd2 , vlc plays it.. but then when i load the second subtitles file, it not synced with the movie and i got to guess .. where i should forward to, i tried, bsplayer+zoomplayer, under wine, it installs but does not work correctly . is there a media player, that ubuntu could use
[16:06] <^Cheeky> .. to accomplish this? i also tired mplayer

[16:07] <Titan8990> !audio | ^Cheeky
[16:07] <Titan8990> !vlc | ^Cheeky
[16:08] <cwillu> jpcooper, moving .gconf and .gnome* elsewhere (so you can restore them if necessary) will do it
[16:08]  * dgetsman is back. 
[16:08] <jpcooper> thank you cwillu
[16:08] <Titan8990> ^Cheeky: took a couple tries but I got it
[16:08] <cwillu> jpcooper, you'll need to use sudo to do it though
[16:08] <jpcooper> sure
[16:08] <^Cheeky> Titan8990, umm.. my audio codecs work m8 ..
[16:09] <TakeABow> How do I install Apache?
[16:09] <TakeABow> Or how do I find out

[16:09] <Titan8990> ^Cheeky: yes, but there is a list of video players in that reply that you can check out
[16:09] <TakeABow> If it is already installed?

[16:09] <linduxed> if ive got a ton of files called "track x - TracknameThatWeWantToPreserve" and want to rename all the files to "Artist - TreacknameThatWeWantToPreserve"? could i do that with some awk command?
[16:09] <TakeABow> I can't install that lamp thing, I need help
[16:09] <Titan8990> TakeABow: that installs apache2
[16:09] <oCean_> !info Apache2
[16:09] <holyguyver> cwillu, so far all it has done is this ">"
[16:09] <oCean_> !info apache
[16:10] <Titan8990> !info apache2.2
[16:10] <cym> when mounting the device, I have an error : mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'
[16:10] <cwillu> holyguyver, that sounds like an unclosed quote
[16:10] <^Cheeky> Titan8990, thank you i have 1/2 of them but iam gonna try xine

[16:10] <TakeABow> How do I install MySQL?
[16:11] <Titan8990> TakeABow: you need to read that article
[16:11] <cwillu> holyguyver, it needs to be run against the actual device
[16:11] <cwillu> holyguyver, /dev/something
[16:11] <TakeABow> Could you just give me the line I need to type in?
[16:11] <cwillu> holyguyver, and /'s, not \'s
[16:11] <cwillu> holyguyver, backslashes are used for escaping on unix, not for paths
[16:11] <Titan8990> TakeABow: no because then you won't learn
[16:11] <cwillu> holyguyver, \n for a literal line break, for instance
[16:12] <TakeABow> I typed in "sudo tasksel install lamp-server" is that all I need to type in too install the whole thing?
[16:12] <jpcooper> sadly I'm still getting the same errors. Something about the power manager not being properly installed. This all started after an ubuntu upgrade
[16:12] <oCean_> TakeABow: learn howto install packages on ubuntu
[16:12] <Titan8990> TakeABow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware
[16:12] <cwillu> holyguyver, so, if it's the first drive in the system, smartctl -a /dev/sda would be the right line
[16:13] <Titan8990> TakeABow: skip that step.....
[16:13] <holyguyver> cwillu, Alright I have the resaults I will pastebin them
[16:13] <cwillu> holyguyver, /dev/sdb for the second physical drive if applicable, etc
[16:13] <cwillu> holyguyver, thanks

[16:16] <melt01> could someone help me uninstall/reinstall my sound driver? I'm not entirely sure how to find it on synaptic

[16:17] <cwillu> holyguyver, ... if you knew that was the outcome, you could have said that rather than dodging the question
[16:17] <cwillu> holyguyver, how is it wired to the system?  raid card?  external enclosure?
[16:17] <holyguyver> cwillu, I wasn;t trying to dodge the question, I was only trying to give you the answer you was looking for, but I am glad I could also give you your exact answer :)

[16:18] <cwillu> holyguyver, okay, ya.  Usb enclosures unfortunately don't usually support smart monitoring
[16:18] <L|nuxPS2> M4rotku you might want to use a DVD authoring program
[16:18] <anki1> Now i m not able to boot into ubuntu
[16:19] <anki1> Anyone plz help?
[16:19] <M4rotku> L|nuxPS2, do u know of any good ones?
[16:19] <cwillu> holyguyver, if it was plugged directly into the system, it would be possible to read alot of data directly from the drive re: internal parameters, error counters, etc
[16:19] <kqr> how can i access lvm partitions in ubuntu?
[16:19] <cwillu> holyguyver, the fact that it's on usb could also account for the badblock scan taking so long
[16:19] <oCean_> !grub | anki1
[16:19] <cwillu> holyguyver, is it a sata drive internally?
[16:19] <L|nuxPS2> m$rotku yeah, devede
[16:19] <anki1> No i did not lost grub
[16:19] <anki1> it is there
[16:19] <anki1> opensolaris is still there
[16:19] <holyguyver> cwillu, I do not know, but I take it you are going to give me a command to find out the answer.
[16:19] <cwillu> holyguyver, or rather, if it's sata, do you have a sata port on your motherboard, and if it's pata (ide), do you have one of those available?
[16:20] <gnat_x> hey folks. simple question, i'm helping someone get flash working on ubuntu, i'm a debian user so i don't have the standard sources.list line for including the multiverse. i want this person to check that they have it set up poroperly before i tell them install flashplugin-nonfree (or is there a better package?)

[16:21] <cwillu> holyguyver, what kind of enclosure is it?
[16:22] <cwillu> holyguyver, (brandname etc)

[16:22] <holyguyver> cwillu,  external harddrive that says if I remove it the warrenty is void. & it's brand name was given to you in the pastebin I gave you, it is a SimpleTech Simpledrive.
[16:22] <Titan8990> anki1: are they all on the same drive?
[16:23] <cwillu> ah, missed that
[16:23] <cwillu> holyguyver, I think you already voided the warranty when you dropped it :p
[16:23] <L|nuxPS2> M4rotku, did devede work for you?
[16:23] <anki1> @Titan8990--no
[16:23] <cwillu> holyguyver, pastebin me the output of hal-device
[16:23] <ciflos75> ••••••••• Mancava Solo  ciflos75  Su #ubuntu ! •••••••••
[16:24] <L|nuxPS2> brb peoples
[16:24] <holyguyver> cwillu, beyond that I voided the warrenty when I sent it to Ontrack a year & a half ago & for 2,600$ they recovered my data & put it onto a 1tb harddrive.
[16:24] <M4rotku> L|nuxPS2, i haven't tried it yet, i'm about to
[16:24] <ciflos75> ciao
[16:24] <ciflos75> hi
[16:24] <Titan8990> anki1: then there is a good chance you have installed grub on both drives. You should be able hit a key to bring up a boot menu and select the drive ubuntu is on.
[16:24] <MrEgg964> Hi. From Terminal, how can I download a package _without_ installing it?
[16:24] <ciflos75> there is italian people?
[16:24] <cwillu> holyguyver, ... ouch
[16:24] <Titan8990> anki1: is solaris and ubuntu on the same drive?
[16:24] <cwillu> holyguyver, presumably you learned that an extra drive with nightly backups is a much cheaper alternative? :p
[16:24] <gordonjcp> MrEgg964: apt-get install -d <thing>
[16:25] <ciflos75> there is someone that can help me with ubuntu?
[16:25] <anki1> @Titan8990---------all os r on different drives and i installed botloader on my hd0
[16:25] <holyguyver> cwillu, what do I do to get you that output of the hal?
[16:25] <cwillu> !ask | ciflos75
[16:25] <gordonjcp> MrEgg964: say "apt-get help" ;-)
[16:25] <Iraimbilanja> Hi
[16:25] <Iraimbilanja> In Ibex, Totem is unable to play a DVD
[16:25] <MrEgg964> thanks
[16:25] <cwillu> holyguyver, install pastebinit (apt-get install pastebinit), and then run hal-device | pastebinit
[16:25] <Iraimbilanja> It only shows the title menu, but nothing is clickable
[16:25] <usr13> ciflos75: You're in the right place.  Go with your questions.
[16:25] <Iraimbilanja> Any hints ?
[16:25] <ciflos75> I have istall ubuntu on my pc
[16:25] <ciflos75> and now
[16:25] <holyguyver> cwillu, the only extra drive I have is this broken one that I am working on now, my 1tbdrive has no backup.
[16:25] <doctormo> I dont suppose anyone has a wizzard pen tablet they'd like to test a new packaged driver?
[16:26] <SEJeff> Iraimbilanja, Try installing vlc
[16:26] <Pici> !enter | ciflos75
[16:26] <ciflos75> the ubuntu asll me...a username and a passw
[16:26] <holyguyver> cwillu, I installed pastebinit over 2 years ago.
[16:26] <gordonjcp> ciflos75: you would have set a username and password when you installed it
[16:26] <cwillu> holyguyver, okay, so, hal-device | pastebinit
[16:26] <ciflos75> yes
[16:26] <Medalgod> hey guys. Can you tell me, on the live disks what do i have to override the xorg.conf configuration with a hand written one (because you obvsly can't write to the optical disk). Is there a ramdisk that the OS mounts or something...?
[16:26] <ciflos75> I put the same words
[16:26] <usr13> ciflos75: That is ok.
[16:27] <cwillu> holyguyver, bah, pastebinit's docs lied
[16:27] <dual> How do I kill the sudo process
[16:27] <ciflos75> now...
[16:27] <SEJeff> Medalgod, yes it uses a squashfs union mount
[16:27] <dual> It uses 100% cpu
[16:27] <cwillu> holyguyver, okay, so, hal-device | pastebinit -i -
[16:27] <Pici> ciflos75: You
[16:27] <ciflos75> i put my user
[16:27] <usr13> ciflos75: You can change the password afterwords.
[16:27] <ciflos75> how?
[16:27] <SEJeff> Medalgod, You can write to /etc/X11/xorg.conf on the livecd. Save the file and hit CTRL ALT Backspace.
[16:27] <dual> A sudo process on my computer uses 100% CPU. How do I kill it?
[16:27] <gordonjcp> dual: that sounds a bit odd
[16:27] <Iraimbilanja> SEJeff, that works - thanks. I was hoping to get Totem working as I like it better but oh well.
[16:27] <gordonjcp> dual: it's probably something called through sudo
[16:28] <cwillu> dual, what process?  (after the sudo)
[16:28] <Medalgod> SEJeff, it gives me "error writing xorg.conf: Permission denied"
[16:28] <SEJeff> Iraimbilanja, You might try setting up the mediabuntu repositories and installing libdvdcss
[16:28] <holyguyver> cwillu,  hal-device | pastebinit -i Invalid arguments!
[16:28] <dual> gordonjcp: WHen I run "top", it says sudo
[16:28] <SEJeff> Medalgod, sudo ...
[16:28] <gordonjcp> dual: you could use "sudo kill <process id>"
[16:28] <cwillu> holyguyver, "hal-device | pastebinit -i -"
[16:28] <cwillu> need the extra dash (means to read from the pipe instead of a file)
[16:28] <dual> gordonjcp: Didnt work
[16:29] <Medalgod> sejeff: nvm problem solved u were rite, not root... not used to sudo... ges ill set up a root account later :p
[16:29] <gordonjcp> dual: what didn't?
[16:29] <dual> gordonjcp: killing sudo
[16:29] <dual> Still runs like hell
[16:29] <ciflos75> when i put first the username and after the pass....i see this message: incorret username or password..letter must be typed in the currect case
[16:29] <holyguyver> cwillu, the only extra drive I have is this broken one that I am working on now, my 1tbdrive has no backup.
[16:29] <anr78> I have a bunch of mp3 files and want to put the filename into id3. any apps to recommend for this?
[16:29] <cwillu> holyguyver, yes, I got that
[16:29] <ciflos75> i don't know what i can do
[16:29] <cwillu> holyguyver, "hal-device | pastebinit -i -"
[16:29] <melt01> how can i uninstall/reinstall the driver for my sound card? the card is sblive! value ct4780, chip tritech tr28602... i'm not really sure how to find it in synaptic, i just wanna uninstall it then reinstall to see if fixes a problem
[16:30] <cwillu> holyguyver, need the extra dash (means to read from the pipe instead of a file)
[16:30] <SEJeff> Medalgod, No need. It is a cool security trick. Just do "sudo -i" and you get a rootshell
[16:30] <Iraimbilanja> SEJeff, Did that but the dvd links are still not clickable. At any rate, it's unlikely that the title screen would be displayed at all, if the lack of libdvdcss was the culprit, isn't it ?
[16:30] <oCean_> ciflos75: you need to enter the username/password combination you specified in install process
[16:30] <gordonjcp> dual: what is the PID of the sudo process?
[16:30] <holyguyver> cwillu, I did that whenever you first corrected my argum,ent, but I am waitng for the output, I cannot give you the pastebin until it gives it to me
[16:30] <dual> 10737
[16:30] <ciflos75> how ocean'
[16:30] <melt01> in fact im not even sure if thats where i should be looking
[16:30] <cwillu> holyguyver, k
[16:30] <cwillu> holyguyver, it's biggish, might take a little time
[16:30] <SEJeff> Iraimbilanja, gstreamer0.10 still sucks with dvds. It is a longstanding regression over gstreamer0.8. That is why I suggested vlc...
[16:30] <oCean_> ciflos75: unix/linux is case sensitive. So remember what user you specified during install
[16:30] <dual> sudo kill 10737 doesn't work
[16:30] <dual> Hmm
[16:30] <SEJeff> The fluendo guys working on it are sceptical because of lawsuits
[16:30] <SEJeff> and fud
[16:31] <dual> I'm rebooting, gordon
[16:31] <gordonjcp> dual: okay, that's a bit odd, but not totally surprising
[16:31] <ciflos75> there is a way to bypass this passage?
[16:31] <gordonjcp> dual: hang on, can you see it in ps -ax?
[16:31] <oCean_> ciflos75: no
[16:31] <ciflos75> so
[16:31] <ciflos75> i must disinstall
[16:31] <holyguyver> cwillu, http://pastebin.com/f7c06a3ce
[16:31] <cwillu> thanks
[16:31] <n8tuser> dual  its sudo  kill -15  pid   you missed the kill signal #15
[16:31] <oCean_> ciflos75: you have to login, right.
[16:31] <gordonjcp> ciflos75: you can set it up to log you in automatically
[16:31] <oCean_> ciflos75: you forgot your username/password combi?
[16:32] <cwillu> holyguyver, allow me to share my frustration with finding information on smart support for a drive called 'smart drive' :(
[16:32] <ciflos75> sorry but..my inglish is no god
[16:32] <Iraimbilanja> SEJeff, Whoa, gstreamer sucking so bad with dvds, that's unexpected :) Got it. thanks.
[16:32] <whitedox> In avidemux, I have put marker A and B at the beginning and end of the clip I want. Now how do I get rid of the rest? Or how do I put my selected clip in a new video file?
[16:32] <gordonjcp> n8tuser: -15 is implicit
[16:32] <ex-user_> hello
[16:32] <ciflos75> ocean i put only the passw
[16:32] <holyguyver> cwillu, :p LoL
[16:32] <ciflos75> without username
[16:32] <gordonjcp> !it | ciflos75
[16:32] <gordonjcp> ciflos75: is that any good to you?
[16:32] <The_Joe_> Who's the person to contact about ShipIt?
[16:32] <oCean_> ciflos75: there is an ubuntu channel in italian, but not a lot of users I think #ubuntu-it
[16:32] <ciflos75> vado in quello italiano
[16:33] <oCean_> ciflos75: still, you have to remember the username and password you specified during your installation
[16:33] <gordonjcp> ciflos75: if you've forgotten the password you can reset it, but it's not easy to explain
[16:33] <whitedox> In avidemux, I have put marker A and B at the beginning and end of the clip I want. Now how do I get rid of the rest? Or how do I put my selected clip in a new video file?
[16:33] <The_Joe_> An answer would be good, excuse me for being impatient but I'm a bit frustrated about this
[16:34] <holyguyver> cwillu, though mine is called Simple Drive
[16:34] <cwillu> holyguyver, my bad.  It's their marketing (they use the phrase "a smart solution" a whole lot)
[16:34] <oCean_> gordonjcp: ciflos75, true, I guess a re-install is easier
[16:34] <melt01> The_Joe_: I'm sure there's contact info on the website
[16:35] <holyguyver> cwillu,  A smart salution without smart support? :p
[16:35] <The_Joe_> melt01, If there is, it's pretty well hidden
[16:35] <jarco> hello big problenm here: All my sound is suddely played as static. (like snow on the tv). Whatcould cause this?
[16:35] <melt01> The_Joe_: i'll check, one sec (im a little lagged)
[16:35] <cwillu> holyguyver, the drive will certainly support it (don't know of any manufacturers that don't these days), but getting at it over a usb connection is another matter entirely
[16:36] <cwillu> holyguyver, mostly hoping to find out if its likely to be sata or pata
[16:36] <The_Joe_> melt01, Thanks
[16:36] <O__o> hi how to add icon picture to the shortcut in the menu??
[16:36] <amh> hi everyone. can anyone tell me if there is an remote application that will allow me to connect to my ubuntu machine that's on wireless?  i dont know of one as wireless only seems to connect AFTER i log in.
[16:36] <O__o> how come i cant use png as shortcut icon anymore?
[16:36] <gordonjcp> oCean_: no, it's quicker to reset the password
[16:36] <holyguyver> cwillu, well as I said I will not attach it to my motherboard.
[16:36] <gordonjcp> oCean_: I just don't fancy trying to explain it in Italian
[16:36] <cwillu> holyguyver, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it :p
[16:37] <oCean_> gordonjcp: that's what I meant... for him it would be easier ..
[16:37] <M4rotku> L|nuxPS2, how long does it normally take to create the disk image?
[16:37] <holyguyver> cwillu, no we will not cross that brige, I am telling you you will only get that attached to my motherboard when you walk over my cold dead body.
[16:37] <jarco> hello big problenm here: All my sound is suddely played as static. (like snow on the tv). What could cause this?
[16:38] <anr78> Anyone know if easytag can be used to put filenames in the title field of id3?
[16:38] <melt01> The_Joe_: any particular reason? you may need a more general contact
[16:38] <shiMMer> how can i open file.pak on ubuntu 8.10??
[16:38] <The_Joe_> melt01, I'd like to find out why they keep denying my requests - whether it's stock or something else
[16:39] <MikyMouse> Hello again
[16:39] <me2resh_> how can i mount iscsi target from ubuntu ?
[16:39] <horstle> hi
[16:39] <whitedox> In avidemux, I have put marker A and B at the beginning and end of the clip I want. Now how do I get rid of the rest? Or how do I put my selected clip in a new video file?.
[16:39] <cwillu> holyguyver, nope, that controller won't report smart info over usb :(
[16:40] <melt01> The_Joe_: did you see any contact info when you logged in? i donthave a usr name so im not sure if it has anything there
[16:40] <holyguyver> cwillu, then we will just have to deal with dumb info :p
[16:40] <The_Joe_> melt01, None at all
[16:40] <TakeABow> Hello again, where do I find Apaches folder?
[16:40] <cwillu> holyguyver, I'm afraid that all I can do is to suggest you let it run the bad block test as long as it takes.  Each time it runs into a badblock, the controller is probably trying to reread the same sector over and over for some time before it finally reports an error, which means that although you're making progress, it'll take far longer than it should otherwise
[16:40] <MikyMouse> I installed a Apache server to my Ubuntu, everything is working pretty good, however I wonder what should I do in order to access the computer using a human name like "webserver" thatn writing 192.168.1.x ??
[16:41] <paintedeyez> #mp3
[16:41] <cwillu> holyguyver, you're wiping it, right?
[16:41] <melt01> The_Joe_: the only thing i can think of then is to email the webmaster
[16:41] <Titan8990> TakeABow: config files: /etc/apache2     executable: /etc/init.d/apache2        default rootdir: /var/www
[16:41] <cwillu> holyguyver, are you running the badblock test via windows or via ubuntu?
[16:41] <jarco> hello big problenm here: All my sound is suddely played as static. (like snow on the tv). What could cause this?
[16:41] <holyguyver> cwillu, yes it has been about 10 hours so far, I wish to tell you something that says
[16:41] <The_Joe_> melt01, Hmm I guess so...
[16:41] <TakeABow> Thank you!
[16:41] <melt01> The_Joe_: i really have no idea...i figured they would have a visible contact address for shipit
[16:42] <koba> Hi everyone. I've been searching the web but I couldn't find an answer. Is there a way to implement real time dynamic range compression to the audio output via pulseaudio, alsa or some other app?
[16:42] <holyguyver> cwillu, I do not own any Windows machines I have not used Windows since Win98.
[16:42] <cwillu> koba, -> #pulseaudio is probably a better bet
[16:42] <Titan8990> TakeABow: np, in general you can always expect to find config files in /etc/PROGRAMNAME
[16:42] <oCean_> MikyMouse: has your system a name already?
[16:42] <cwillu> holyguyver, I mention that because I thought I saw it say ntfs
[16:42] <oCean_> MikyMouse: the machine apache is running on, I mean
[16:42] <MikyMouse> oCean_, yes it does, the name is "LinuxServer"
[16:42] <cwillu> holyguyver, yes, it's reporting the fstype as ntfs
[16:43] <oCean_> MikyMouse: if you "ping LinuxServer" .. does that work?
[16:43] <holyguyver> cwillu, it does say ntfs, though that is simply the filesystem the manufactor put on it, though I am wiping it & reformatting it to ext3.
[16:43] <cwillu> holyguyver, what was the command you're running?
[16:43] <koba> cwillu, I've tried the pulseaudio channel but I didn't get an answer. I don't mind ditching PA if there is another way to do it
[16:43] <MikyMouse> oCean_, ping: unknown host LinuxServer
[16:43] <holyguyver> cwillu, mkfs.ext3 -c /dev/sdg1
[16:43] <oCean_> MikyMouse: ok, first of all you need to make an entry in your /etc/hosts file
[16:44] <dreamy> crdlb: hi
[16:44] <MikyMouse> oCean_, I have never done that, I beg your batience, can you help me on that?
[16:44] <cwillu> koba, http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/Modules might give some information
[16:44] <TakeABow> Back again, I can't find the file in Apache that says "It works!"?
[16:44] <cwillu> holyguyver, I think you're just going to have to wait :/
[16:44] <oCean_> MikyMouse: add a line like this like this: "192.168.1.33  LinuxServer", where the 33 should be your real ip part...
[16:44] <dreamy> crdlb: where are you from ?
[16:44] <Titan8990> TakeABow: that file is: /var/www/default.html
[16:45] <holyguyver> cwillu, I never said anything against the wait, but as said I wish to tell you what it says
[16:45] <cwillu> holyguyver, go ahead
[16:45] <MikyMouse> oCean_, ok, I am trying
[16:45] <oCean_> MikyMouse: sure, use "sudo gedit /etc/hosts" to open the file
[16:45] <cwillu> holyguyver, it might be possible to abuse lvm to put a 'raid' across the single drive, so that any single bad sector doesn't cause a complete break, but if you have any bad sectors that line up with where a raid would be putting each copy of a given sector, than it doesn't buy you anything at all
[16:45] <remo999> ciao a tutti
[16:46] <oCean_> !it | remo999
[16:46] <holyguyver> cwillu, checking for bad blocks (read0only test): 5943888/122095999
[16:46] <MikyMouse> oCean_, ok, done, so I guess I have to restart my networking right?
[16:46] <cwillu> holyguyver, so, you're making progress :p
[16:46] <oCean_> MikyMouse: nope, ping should work now
[16:46] <remo999> grazie ciao
[16:46] <cwillu> holyguyver, only two more weeks!
[16:46] <MikyMouse> oCean_, no it is not
[16:47] <holyguyver> cwillu, are you joking about that timeframe?
[16:47] <oCean_> MikyMouse. Ok. Can you ping 192.168.1.x address you said you use?
[16:47] <cwillu> holyguyver, you said 10 hours?
[16:47] <holyguyver> Yes, it has been 10 or more hours since I started this command.
[16:47] <MikyMouse> oCean_, yes I can, I installed a Apache server to my Ubuntu, everything is working pretty good, however I wonder what should I do in order to access the computer using a human name like "webserver" thatn writing 192.168.1.x ??
[16:48] <oCean_> MikyMouse: i know
[16:48] <MikyMouse> oCean_, sorry, something qrong with the copy/paste
[16:48] <holyguyver> cwillu, Yes, it has been 10 or more hours since I started this command.
[16:48] <MikyMouse> oCean_, cmrabet@CM-Laptop:~$ ping 10.10.10.210
[16:48] <MikyMouse> PING 10.10.10.210 (10.10.10.210) 56(84) bytes of data.
[16:48] <oCean_> MikyMouse: ok that works?
[16:48] <cwillu> holyguyver, at that rate (i.e., presuming the distribution of bad sectors is fairly consistent), I'd expect it to take 205.4 hours in total
[16:48] <cwillu> holyguyver, about 8.5 days
[16:48] <MikyMouse> oCean_, Iyes, when pinging to the numbered IP it works
[16:48] <cwillu> holyguyver, presuming the drive doesn't completely die before that
[16:49] <holyguyver> cwillu, I hope you are wrong.
[16:49] <oCean_> MikyMouse: ok then you need to put *that* 10.10.10.210 address in /etc/hosts
[16:49] <cwillu> holyguyver, maybe alot less, maybe alot more
[16:49] <MikyMouse> oCean_, http://pastebin.com/m6a153571 that's my hosts file
[16:49] <oCean_> MikyMouse: ok, moment
[16:49] <cwillu> holyguyver, you're less than 5 percent through the drive
[16:49] <cwillu> I'm just doing the straightforward extrapolation
[16:49] <holyguyver> cwillu, I have had the drive plugged in all week, & I have been moving files on & off of it perfectly fine without insadent.
[16:49] <oCean_> MikyMouse: ok. First of all, you have a double entry in the /etc/hosts for LinuxServer.
[16:50] <oCean_> MikyMouse: oh, 1 moment
[16:50] <cwillu> holyguyver, I can't account for what the controller is doing, I'm just saying, based on the progress so far, what I'd expect
[16:50] <cwillu> holyguyver, on the other hand, I told you a while ago that I wouldn't have bothered with it anyway :p
[16:50] <TakeABow> I want to copy something into the var\www folder but it gives me a permission error?
[16:50] <cwillu> holyguyver, you own the 1tb drive right?
[16:51] <cwillu> (i.e., they don't want it back?)
[16:51] <TakeABow> Is there a way around this?
[16:51] <holyguyver> cwillu, though as said I have no other option not unless you wish to buy me a harddrive.
[16:51] <Titan8990> TakeABow: you have to put yourself in the www-data group
[16:51] <TakeABow> Right
[16:51] <Titan8990> TakeABow: sudo adduser YOURNAME www-data
[16:51] <TakeABow> And how do I do that?
[16:51] <oCean_> MikyMouse: before you were not able to ping "linuxserver" ? Because before it was on your 127.0.1.1
[16:51] <holyguyver> cwillu, with the 1tb only 1gb is free.
[16:51] <O__o> anyone notice that the customized icon in menu dont work?
[16:52] <TakeABow> So like admin?
[16:52] <tr3nd> Hi, I have wiped my harddrive with Gpart and I put my Windows XP CD in the computer and it says "GRUB loading, please wait... Error 22" -- Anyone know what the problem is?
[16:52] <oCean_> MikyMouse: let's take one step back :) Edit /etc/hosts and put an "#" before your line starting with 10.10 ...
[16:52] <MikyMouse> oCean_, so shall I delete that line? mas.msft is our domain here
[16:52] <Titan8990> TakeABow: sudo is admin, www-data i just like the webserver group
[16:52] <Titan8990> !rootsudo
[16:52] <dreamy> !help
[16:53] <holyguyver> sudo apt-get remove ubottu
[16:53] <cwillu> holyguyver, check pm's
[16:53] <oCean_> MikyMouse: well, that one should work. So disable your 10.10.xxx first by inserting # before that line
[16:53] <MikyMouse> oCean_, I have done it, but still the same result, Don't you thinkg that I have to restart the netwroking in my server?
[16:53] <oCean_> MikyMouse: no, that's not necessary
[16:53] <TakeABow> The error it gives me is: "The folder 'trunk' cannot be copied because you do not have the permissions to create it in the destination.
[16:53] <oCean_> MikyMouse: type "ping 127.0.1.1"
[16:53] <tr3nd> Hi, I have wiped my harddrive with Gpart and I put my Windows XP CD in the computer and it says "GRUB loading, please wait... Error 22" -- Anyone know what the problem is?
[16:54] <dreamy> kmail gives alot  of errors with my kubuntu.. and i think konqueror doesnt works well too
[16:54] <Titan8990> TakeABow: after you added yourself to the group?
[16:54] <dreamy> anyone?
[16:54] <TakeABow> What do I put as YOURNAME?
[16:54] <MikyMouse> oCean_, from the server?
[16:54] <oCean_> MikyMouse: yes
[16:54] <Titan8990> TakeABow: your user name on the machine
[16:54] <TakeABow> Its a server I bought from OVH.
[16:54] <TakeABow> How do I find that out?
[16:54] <Titan8990> TakeABow: the one you log on with
[16:54] <Titan8990> TakeABow: type: whoami
[16:54] <TakeABow> It says admin
[16:55] <MikyMouse> oCean_, pinigint to 127.0.1.1 I get pong
[16:55] <oCean_> MikyMouse: are you talking about more than 1 machine?
[16:55] <cwillu> holyguyver, _if_ the bad sectors are coming from a head crash, then the bad sectors might be really localized, in which case, once you're through that patch of sectors, the rest _might_ be usable
[16:55] <Titan8990> TakeABow: so: sudo adduser admin www-data
[16:55] <MikyMouse> oCean_, yes, I am now in a desktop machine controling the server throught shh
[16:55] <TakeABow> I did. It still doesn't work
[16:55] <cwillu> holyguyver, but beyond that, I can't think of anything that could be helpful
[16:55] <Titan8990> TakeABow: is your server running a GUI?
[16:55] <oCean_> MikyMouse: ah.. that explains
[16:55] <tr3nd> Hi, I have wiped my harddrive with Gpart and I put my Windows XP CD in the computer and it says "GRUB loading, please wait... Error 22" -- Anyone know what the problem is?
[16:55] <TakeABow> Yes NX Machine
[16:55] <MikyMouse> oCean_, so from the desktop machin when I try to do this: ping LinuxServer it doesn't work
[16:56] <oCean_> MikyMouse: we're editing files on the wrong side of it ..
[16:56] <MikyMouse> oCean_, and when doing ping LinuxServer from the server it works
[16:56] <oCean_> MikyMouse: that's the expected behaviour :)
[16:56] <Titan8990> TakeABow: the GUI should be removed..... You can use sudo cp: sudo cp -a /path/to/trunk /var/www/
[16:56] <tr3nd> Hi, I have wiped my harddrive with Gpart and I put my Windows XP CD in the computer and it says "GRUB loading, please wait... Error 22" -- Anyone know what the problem is?
[16:56] <MikyMouse> oCean_, but..do you mean that we have to change "something" in each machine into my network?
[16:56] <TakeABow> You what?
[16:57] <Titan8990> TakeABow: well, it should be removed if you plan for it to be in production
[16:57] <cwillu> tr3nd, it's not booting off the cd.  That'd be a bios option you'd have to check
[16:57] <oCean_> MikyMouse: On the client side (is it windows, is it linux?) you have to specify the ip-address for LinuxServer, so that the client knows where to go
[16:57] <tr3nd> cwillu, how do I do that?
[16:57] <TakeABow> What to be in production?
[16:57] <chester_m>  Hi everyone
[16:57] <MikyMouse> oCean_, we have both, Linux and XP machines here
[16:57] <Titan8990> TakeABow: the server
[16:57] <oCean_> MikyMouse: after that, we have to let apache know on which server it is running
[16:57] <oCean_> MikyMouse: ok. Your client is... ?
[16:57] <cwillu> tr3nd, no idea, it depends totally on your bios (the screen that comes up at first when you turn on the computer)
[16:57] <TakeABow> I dont understand you
[16:58] <MikyMouse> oCean_, mine is Linux (Ubuntu)
[16:58] <|neon|> in order to get dual monitors working correctly configured as separate X screens i need to disbale compiz any ideas on a work around this? thx
[16:58] <Titan8990> TakeABow: there are different envirnments a server can be in, eg - production, development, testing
[16:58] <tr3nd> cwillu, im in BIOS now
[16:58] <Technoviking> my gnome disctionary is using UK spellings instead of US spelling, where do I switch it.
[16:58] <TakeABow> Right
[16:58] <Titan8990> TakeABow: if you plan to host you server on the internet for the world to see, that would be considered a production envirnment
[16:58] <oCean_> MikyMouse: great :) You need to edit *that* /etc/hosts file, adding the 10.xxx address
[16:58] <tr3nd> cwillu, what should i do?
[16:58] <bbeebboopp> tr3nd, now make sure CD will boot before hard-drive
[16:58] <TakeABow> So what do I type in?
[16:58] <cwillu> !bios
[16:59] <DarkKnight> to run Java EE applications what packages do i need to install?? can anyone say that
[16:59] <Titan8990> TakeABow: what directory is your trunk folder in?
[16:59] <tr3nd> bbeebboopp, i did
[16:59] <bbeebboopp> well, it should work then
[16:59] <TakeABow> On the desktop
[16:59] <TakeABow> In untitled folder
[16:59] <tr3nd> it says GRUB isnt loading, error 22 but i have wiped the harddrive, bbeebboopp
[16:59] <MikyMouse> oCean_, yeah..but is is not what I wanted...I can't do this in every machine, this is oging tobe a local network web tool, and anyone can access it...I saw this in another company, they where just puting the name of the machine in the browser
[16:59] <TakeABow> Wait
[16:59] <TakeABow> I mean its just on the desktop
[16:59] <bbeebboopp> that's what we said before, because it's booting on the HD before the CD
[16:59] <Titan8990> TakeABow: sudo cp -a /home/admin/Desktop/trunk /var/www/
[17:00] <bbeebboopp> tr3nd, are you sure your CD is bootable?
[17:00] <cwillu> tr3nd, then you didn't set it to boot off the cd, or the windows cd you have is a pirated copy that was poorly done, and so doesn't include the details needed to make a bootable cd
[17:00] <oCean_> MikyMouse: is your company using DNS? If it's a network of any size, it probably is
[17:00] <cwillu> tr3nd, and no, we will _not_ help you find a working pirated cd
[17:00] <MikyMouse> oCean_, yes it is
[17:00] <cwillu> (any real windows xp cd will be bootable)
[17:00] <oCean_> MikyMouse: ok, so aks the DNS / network guys to add 10.100.xxx address in the DNS
[17:01] <bbeebboopp> (may be damadged, or yeah, as you said, a fake CD)
[17:01] <DarkKnight> to run Java EE applications what packages do i need to install?? can anyone say that
[17:01] <TakeABow> Right
[17:01] <tr3nd> cwillu, my XP s real
[17:01] <TakeABow> Why can't I just copy and paste?
[17:01] <MikyMouse> oCean_, ah ok..
[17:01] <TakeABow> Why is it giving me all these errors?
, JRE
[17:01] <Titan8990> TakeABow: what kind of errors?
[17:01] <TakeABow> How do I delete a file from the www folder?
[17:01] <oCean_> MikyMouse: When that's done, you need to config apache, to let it know what the server is, it's running on
[17:01] <MikyMouse> oCean_, can be done that in the router DNS parameters?
[17:01] <TakeABow> The file is called index.html
[17:01] <TakeABow> When I try to delete it, it says permission denies
[17:01] <Steal`n`Kill> sudo rm index.html
[17:01] <Titan8990> TakeABow: sudo rm /var/www/index.html
[17:02] <cwillu> tr3nd, then the problem is in your bios, you need to go through the settings and figure it out.  my bios isn't going to be the same as yours, so I can't really walk you through it
[17:02] <DarkKnight> Steal 'n' Kill; some suggested glassfish...which packages under glassfish should i install
[17:02] <oCean_> MikyMouse: maybe, there are many, many DNS solutions
[17:02] <MikyMouse> oCean_, ok, thanks
[17:02] <|neon|> in order to get dual monitors working correctly configured as separate X screens i need to disbale compiz any ideas on a work around this? thx
[17:02] <oCean_> MikyMouse: when that's done, go to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and edit that file
[17:02] <cwillu> |neon|, what type of card?
[17:02] <tr3nd> cwillu, thanks. it works now
[17:03] <MikyMouse> oCean_, ok, got you, I really appreciate it, thanks!
[17:03] <|neon|> cwillu: nvidia 9600 go
[17:03] <TakeABow> Right
[17:03] <oCean_> MikyMouse: set the "ServerName" directive (there's a line for that) to "LinuxServer" and restart apache /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[17:03] <cwillu> |neon|, why do you need seperate screens?
[17:03] <TakeABow> How do I find out if PHP is installed?
[17:03] <|neon|> i am running the beta 1.80 drivers after trying 1.73 and 1.77
[17:03] <oCean_> MikyMouse: then it should work. Happy browsing :-)
[17:03] <cwillu> |neon|, nvidia works fine with mergedfb with compiz
[17:03] <TakeABow> If it's not, how do I install it?
[17:03] <MikyMouse> oCean_, ok I hope so XD
[17:04] <Titan8990> TakeABow: ......
[17:04] <TakeABow> ?
[17:04] <Titan8990> !lamp | TakeABow
[17:04] <|neon|> cwillu: the screen resolutions are different one is 1440x900 the other is 1920x1200 if i use twin view the smaller screen looks funky
[17:05] <TakeABow> I typed in what that told me
[17:05] <TakeABow> And it doesn't seem to have installed PHP
[17:05] <TakeABow> I click on a .php file and it opens it up in a text form
[17:05] <TakeABow> How can I see the page how it should be?
[17:05] <cwillu> |neon|, you can set the resolutions independently via nvidia-settings
[17:06] <|neon|> really? for twin view?
[17:06] <cwillu> yep
[17:06] <Titan8990> TakeABow: open it in a web browser
[17:06] <Titan8990> TakeABow: as in: localhost/path/to/file.php
[17:06] <|neon|> cwillu: ok let me try that, i tought i couldn't
[17:06] <cwillu> |neon|, if one of the monitors is a crt, I'd strongly recommend setting the vertical resolutions the same (horizontal doesn't really matter in this case)
[17:06] <TakeABow> Now when I load it in a browser
[17:06] <TakeABow> It trys to save the file
[17:06] <TakeABow> Does that mean PHP is not installed?
[17:06] <Den__> приветы
[17:07] <Titan8990> TakeABow: did you enable to the module in apache?
[17:07] <Den__> speek russian?
[17:07] <cwillu> !ru | Den__
[17:07] <TakeABow> What do you mean?
[17:07] <Den__> danke
[17:07] <gmathews> Damn this channel is hooked up :P
[17:07] <TakeABow> Probably not, I just installed that LAMP thing
[17:07] <TakeABow> Thats basically all I have done
[17:08] <TakeABow> On a different PC
[17:08] <TakeABow> Hang on
[17:08] <TakeABow> This is the ip
[17:08] <TakeABow> http://91.121.170.33/
[17:08] <TakeABow> I want it to display the index page
[17:08] <[tggrBot]> o7
[17:08] <Titan8990> TakeABow: did you read the article the we repeatly bring up?
[17:09] <TakeABow> Yes
[17:09] <TakeABow> I dont understand why
[17:09] <TakeABow> I cant copy and paste normally into folders...?
[17:09] <Titan8990> TakeABow: and you did: sudo a2enmod php5
[17:10] <TakeABow> It says that module is already enabled
[17:10] <Titan8990> TakeABow: restart apache
[17:10] <TakeABow> How do I do that?
[17:11] <L|nuxPS2> "/etc/init.d/apache2 restart"
[17:11] <doglino> what player plays .ape files??
[17:12] <TakeABow> It says "httpd (pid 29878?) not running"
[17:12] <la> olaa
[17:12] <bbeebboopp> I know vlc and audacity do doglino
[17:13] <Titan8990> TakeABow: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
[17:13] <[tggrBot]> im on ubuntu!!!!
[17:13] <[tggrBot]> XHCAT!!!!
[17:13] <[tggrBot]> w000t
[17:13] <doglino> you know if exists a plugin to rhythmbox?
[17:13] <FloodBot2> [tggrBot]: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:13] <Titan8990> TakeABow: also, your php file, doesn't even appear to have a .php extension
[17:13] <gordonjcp> PHP must die
[17:14]  * cwillu joins gordonjcp's quest
[17:14] <doglino> gordonjcp ahuauhahuaa
[17:14] <TakeABow> "httpd (pid 29878) already running"
[17:14] <TakeABow> The thing on that ip address
[17:14] <TakeABow> Is a folder
[17:14] <TakeABow> But I can't copy or paste or do shit
[17:14] <TakeABow> Because it gives me permision errors
[17:14] <Titan8990> TakeABow: gksu nautilus
[17:15] <Titan8990> TakeABow: I showed you how to do it....
[17:15] <TakeABow> ?
[17:15] <TakeABow> It didn't work
[17:15] <Titan8990> TakeABow: what didn't work?
[17:15] <TakeABow> I typed everything you told me
[17:15] <TakeABow> And its not working
[17:15] <homecable> anyone have a fast upload speed ?
[17:15] <Jack_Sparrow> !enter > TakeABow
[17:15] <bbeebboopp> I don't know doglino
[17:15] <Jack_Sparrow> !doesntwork
[17:16] <TakeABow> Right
[17:16] <TakeABow> I can't open .php files. I have installed LAMP. What do I have to do?
[17:17] <Titan8990> TakeABow: you should place you php file in your root dir for now with a .php extension
[17:17] <Jack_Sparrow> TakeABow there is the #apache channel or the server channel.. this is mostly Desktop
[17:17] <cwillu> TakeABow, you need to do some reading before you install server software and php scripts that you have no understanding of
[17:17] <cwillu> TakeABow, ... in all honesty
[17:17] <elops> its diffocult to update iptables rules in ubuntu.. why?
[17:17] <helder> Can someone help me with a particioning problem? Or there are a better channel?
[17:17] <cwillu> TakeABow, you're just begging to have a hacked server :(
[17:17] <la> kkk?
[17:17] <Jack_Sparrow> helder whats the question
[17:17] <bbeebboopp> go ahead helder
[17:18] <doglino> bbeebboopp do you use audacity?
[17:18] <TakeABow> Surely it doesn't matter where I place it, i'm still not going to be able to open the .php file?
[17:18] <Jack_Sparrow> la Who are you talking to..?
[17:18] <bbeebboopp> yes doglino
[17:18] <TakeABow> Whats the command for moving a file again
[17:18] <gordonjcp> mv
[17:18] <Jack_Sparrow> TakeABow mv
[17:18] <la> yo soy d spain
[17:18] <oCean_> TakeABow: see /etc/apache2/mods-enabled directory
[17:18] <doglino> I'm use rhythmbox
[17:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !es > la
[17:18] <Speeder> my NTFS partitions on GParted are showing with a warning sign and I can not do anything with them
[17:18] <elops> is it corect thats its difficult to update iptables in ubuntu?
[17:19] <oCean_> TakeABow: there should be files called php5.conf and php5.load
[17:19] <Speeder> What I do jack_Sparrow, bbeebboopp?
[17:19] <lstarnes> elops: what do you mean by that?
[17:19] <doglino> now I'm installing amarok
[17:19] <ikonia> elops: no, depends on your abilitiy and understanding of iptables
[17:19] <oCean_> TakeABow: do you have those files?
[17:19] <TakeABow> Where will those files be oCean_?
[17:19] <la> kkk?
[17:19] <gmathews> KDE 4.2 is out -> http://download.kde.org/stable/4.2.0/KDE-Four-Live/KDE-Four-Live.i686-1.2.0.iso
[17:19] <elops> I mean to update the iptables rules
[17:19] <oCean_> TakeABow: /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
[17:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Speeder boot into windows and properly exit, if no working windows install then you will need to forece moun then and fsck  them
[17:19] <elops> it's not as easy as other distros?
[17:19] <bbeebboopp> it's because they are mounted Speeder you need to unmount then
[17:19] <amy__> hi
[17:19] <ikonia> elops: it's exactly the same
[17:20] <Titan8990> TakeABow: config files are always located somewhere in the /etc/ directory
[17:20] <lstarnes> elops: they work the same way in ubuntu as with every other distro
[17:20] <Jack_Sparrow> elops iptables are the same as in most debian based releases
[17:20] <Speeder> well
[17:20] <bbeebboopp> warning sign means you can't touch it because it's mounted Speeder
[17:20] <TakeABow> Yes, those files are there
[17:20] <Speeder> I did logged with windows CD and done a chkdsk
[17:20] <cjae> is it possible to traffic shape OoS from within an OS no external computer or gateway? eg. modem & desktop PC
[17:21] <Speeder> also how I check if they are really mounted?
[17:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Speeder you need to unmount a partition before you can work on it
[17:21] <Speeder> because the dismount option on gparted are grayed on them
[17:21] <bbeebboopp> type mount in a terminal Speeder and see if it's mounted
[17:21] <Speeder> no
[17:22] <Speeder> they are not mounted
[17:22] <Speeder> :/
[17:22] <bbeebboopp> ok so it's another problem then
[17:22] <Speeder> >.<
[17:22] <Speeder> chkdsk on windows claim that nothing is wrong
[17:22] <Speeder> :/
[17:22] <Speeder> also I do not figured how to do a fsck on them
[17:22] <elops> Jack_Sparrow: ok sir, and is there a way to circumvent the fact that root account being disabled by default?
[17:22] <TakeABow> So anyone know why I can't open .php files?
[17:22] <bbeebboopp> what do you want to do with these partitions anyway Speeder ?
[17:22] <oCean_> TakeABow: did you answer me?
[17:23] <elops> Jack_Sparrow: I dont want to use use sudo for everything
[17:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Speeder Hold down on usung enter every couple words, it makes it hard to follow you
[17:23] <oCean_> TakeABow: I can help check things
[17:23] <Jack_Sparrow> elops Bad idea.  dont setup root accunt
[17:23] <oCean_> TakeABow: but I need to know if php is listed in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
[17:23] <Jack_Sparrow> elops You can setup sudo  for a session, but dont run as root user
[17:24] <samuelg> hi
[17:24] <AngryElf> how do I set a static IP address?  I've got 8.10 installed an updated
[17:24] <Speeder> bbeebboopp I want to copy them to another disk
[17:24] <nickrud> elops, sudo -i is useful for getting a root terminal temporarily.
[17:24] <Speeder> I want to copy a entire disk to another bigger one
[17:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Morning nickrud
[17:24] <nickrud> Morning Jack_Sparrow
[17:24] <bbeebboopp> why don't you do this from windows then Speeder ?
[17:25] <nickrud> AngryElf, you'd define a network connection in /etc/network/interfaces
[17:25] <oCean_> TakeABow: so, did you check that directory?
[17:25] <AngryElf> nickrud: how about through network manager, it seems to be broken
[17:26] <samuelg> alguien que entienda español?
[17:26] <nickrud> AngryElf, ah, network manager. I set up static connections outside of network manager myself.
[17:26] <TakeABow> Sorry for the late reply
[17:26] <TakeABow> Those files are there
[17:26] <jpds> !es > samuelg
[17:26] <nickrud> AngryElf, pm?
[17:26] <Titan8990> TakeABow: he was asking about the contents of the file.....
[17:26] <oCean_> TakeABow: ok
[17:26] <TakeABow> Oh
[17:26] <Speeder> bbeeppoopp because I do not have windows installed
[17:27] <AngryElf> sure
[17:27] <TakeABow> What should be in the contents?
[17:27] <TheFunkbomb> I see the servers are fixed :)
[17:27] <oCean_> TakeABow: now see if the module files are actually there, and nothing is broken
[17:27] <TakeABow> What are the module files?
[17:27] <bbeebboopp> oh I have another idea Speeder maybe because you don't have the ntfs package installed...
[17:27] <oCean_> TakeABow: see if /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so is there
[17:27] <TheFunkbomb> Here is my question from last night.  Every time I try to switch windows, my computer freezes up
[17:27] <elops> ty
[17:28] <TakeABow> Yes, that file is there.
[17:28] <bbeebboopp> Speeder, in menu GParted -> "Show features" should show you if you can work with NTFS
[17:28] <oCean_> TakeABow: ok. Just to make sure, because we might have misunderstood each other: In /etc/apache2 there are 2 directories modules-available and modules-enabled
[17:29] <ldiamond> is it safe to send the output of dmesg to someone?
[17:29] <ball> ldiamond: relatively, yes.
[17:29] <TakeABow> Yes
[17:29] <oCean_> TakeABow: the files in mods-enabled are links to mods-available. So, the php.load and php.conf *need* to be in /etc/apache/mods-enabled
[17:29] <TakeABow> There are two directories
[17:29] <Speeder> yeah, it is that, gparted here do not do anything with ntfs
[17:29] <Speeder> what I call on apt-get to fix that?
[17:29] <Dulak> ldiamond dmesg doesn't give out any sensitive info
[17:29] <TakeABow> Yes they are in mods-enabled
[17:30] <jeniboy> kann ich auch deutsch reden?
[17:30] <bbeebboopp> Speeder, the best thing is to run synaptic: System -> Administration -> Synaptic package manager
[17:30] <TheFunkbomb> what is the command to remove a modprobe
[17:30] <oCean_> TakeABow: ok, if you do "grep -i include /etc/apache2/apache2.conf | grep mods"
[17:30] <jeniboy> hi
[17:30] <bbeebboopp> Speeder, then in "quick search" type ntfs
[17:30] <TakeABow> What, type that into the terminal?
[17:31] <oCean_> TakeABow: that should return a line to include the /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.load and *.conf files
[17:31] <jeniboy> everybody speak german?
[17:31] <bbeebboopp> Speeder, then mark both ntfsprogs and ntfsdoc for installation and off you go
[17:31] <TakeABow> "Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.load
[17:31] <TakeABow> Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.conf
[17:31] <Speeder> thank you bbeebboopp!
[17:31] <bastidrazor> !de
[17:31] <Speeder> and jack!
[17:31] <bbeebboopp> yw Speeder ;)
[17:31] <oCean_> TakeABow: that's ok. So everything is setup for apache to load php5. Now stop: /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
[17:31] <oCean_> then start, "/etc/init.d/apache2 start"
[17:32] <ldiamond> Does anyone here know how I can use a remote controller to control my PC? I have a logitech remote thats all setup, I installed LIRC, but is there some kind of application to help configure?
[17:32] <TakeABow> Then what?
[17:32] <oCean_> TakeABow: clear your browser's cache
[17:32] <miik> if i play fullscreen game, does the screensaver start?
[17:32] <oCean_> TakeABow: and browse to any .php file. It should work
[17:32] <nickrud> miik, depends on whether or not the game turns off the screensaver
[17:33] <miik> oh
[17:33] <radvenspiit> exit
[17:33] <TakeABow> It said
[17:33] <TakeABow> Permission denies when I tried to start it back up
[17:33] <Titan8990> TakeABow: you have to use sudo
[17:33] <oCean_> TakeABow: use "sudo" before the command
[17:34] <TakeABow> Okay
[17:34] <oCean_> TakeABow: clear cache?
[17:34] <markus_> hallo
[17:34] <TakeABow> Cleared the cache. It still trys to save the file
[17:36] <oCean_> TakeABow: arg! That must be in your browser? Apache is ok now, definitely
[17:36] <TakeABow> :S
[17:36] <Titan8990> TakeABow: and you are navigating you: http://yourIP/file.php    or something similar?
[17:36] <TakeABow> Im just going to the file
[17:36] <TakeABow> Then opening in firefox
[17:37] <Titan8990> firefox can't open a php file alone, it needs a web browser such as apache to interpret and host it
[17:37] <Titan8990> you have to navigate to it from the webserver
[17:37] <TakeABow> Im confused
[17:37] <TakeABow> Please explain?
[17:37]  * oCean_ is *getting* confused
[17:38] <TakeABow> Right
[17:38] <Pici> !enter
[17:38] <TakeABow> So how should I be opening this .php files?
[17:38] <Titan8990> TakeABow: you should navigate to it on your webserver
[17:38] <Titan8990> TakeABow: name it file.php and place it in /var/www
[17:38] <TakeABow> Okay
[17:38] <chi_> jo hi, i have an access point on my desktop running... how can i check the mac-adresses of cennected devices? without useing wireshark or something
[17:38] <Titan8990> TakeABow: then go to: localhost/file.php
[17:38] <chi_> ?
[17:38] <elops> Jack_Sparrow: it doesn't have a default location for the rules, you have to create the startup script yourself and script the rules
[17:39] <oCean_> Titan8990: it's not on his webserver??
[17:39] <LogicHoleFlaw> what's the easiest way to determine what version of ubuntu is installed at the commandline? something like uname?
[17:39] <cwillu> chi_, arp might do something, or the access point's configuration page might tell you
[17:39] <engemec> hi everybody
[17:39] <rainmanp7> Is there a way to turn on dma on a harddrive ? becasue bios says it's at udma 4 thank you
[17:40] <rainmanp7> hello
[17:40] <cwillu> LogicHoleFlaw, lsb-release -a
[17:40] <engemec> Everybody know Remastersys?
[17:40] <Titan8990> oCean_: he was apparently clicking on the .php in nautilus and then opening with firefox
[17:40] <chi_> cwillu, thanks i ll read up arp!  there is no configuration page since its an software AC-link
[17:40] <Speeder> how I instal ntfsprogs? synatic and apt-get are both saying that this do not exist...
[17:40] <Titan8990> oCean_: so it is, but he wasn't viewing it that way
[17:40] <cwillu> rainmanp7,  sudo hdparm -i /dev/sda
[17:40] <oCean_> Titan8990: :/
[17:40] <rainmanp7> checking give sec
[17:41] <cwillu> rainmanp7, to check, type man hdparm to read how to set it (be careful though, if it's not running in dma mode, there may be a reason for it)
[17:41] <oCean_> Titan8990: ok, I really need something stronger than coffee now
[17:41] <engemec> I have a doubt about remastersys. I would like to add some wallpapers with my recoverydvd.
[17:41] <bbeebboopp> LogicHoleFlaw, cat /etc/issue
[17:41] <|HSO|SadiQ> can anyone help me bind a mouse button in Teamspeak in Push To Talk...mouse key is not recodnised :(
[17:42] <stdin> elops: you can use ufw to configure iptables
[17:42] <Speeder> bbeebboopp how I install ntfsprogs?
[17:42] <TakeABow> How do you make MySQL users and databases?
[17:42] <stdin> elops: that's already setup to start at boot
[17:42] <chi_> cwillu, thanks  arp does the trick, very fine... =)
[17:42] <bbeebboopp> I already told you Speeder use synaptic...
[17:42] <rainmanp7> /dev/sda1: ATA       WDC WD400BB-00CF  02.0
[17:43] <Speeder> bbeebboopp it is not showing there
[17:43] <rainmanp7> yes i used sdparm and it jsut gives me a report thingy ;)
[17:43] <Titan8990> TakeABow: I recommend installing phpmyadmin
[17:43] <TheFunkbomb> I wish I could figure out why different windows keep freezing on me
[17:43] <Titan8990> TakeABow: it is a GUI web interface for managing mysql and mysql users
[17:43] <bbeebboopp> Speeder, in synaptic, quick search type "ntfs"
[17:43] <Titan8990> TakeABow: or you can type: mysql -u root -p
[17:44] <TakeABow> i'm not sure, i installed mysql 5 earlier and set it all up
[17:44] <Titan8990> TakeABow: you can view mysql commands on the mysql documentation page
[17:44] <TakeABow> but i've only ever used mysql with pHpMyAdmin before
[17:44] <engemec> TakeABow: do you have some problem with php, mysql, phpmyadmin, apache?
[17:44] <Speeder> bbeebboopp results are: libntfs-3g23, libparted1.7-1, ntfs-3g, parted all them already installed
[17:44] <Titan8990> TakeABow: sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
[17:45] <Titan8990> TakeABow: then from webbrowser: localhost/phpmyadmin
[17:45] <Jack_Sparrow> elops In here if You dont mind
[17:45] <engemec> TakeABow a i have a good link.

[17:45] <Jack_Sparrow> elops did the answer from stdin handle your question
[17:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Speeder lsb_release  -a
[17:46] <bbeebboopp> wait Speeder ... you want to copy the whole partition ? sector by sector ? or file by file ?

[17:46] <rainmanp7> Version = System->About
[17:46] <engemec> TakeABow: see it! http://joeabiraad.com/linuxunix/installing-lamp-on-ubuntu-710-linuxapachemysqlphp/100
[17:46] <bbeebboopp> you can upgrade to 8.10 intrepid Speeder ...
[17:47] <Speeder> hummm :(
[17:47] <Speeder> imascrewed then :/
[17:47] <bbeebboopp> anyways Speeder, do you want to copy the partition sector by sector, or file by file ??
[17:47] <ldiamond> !kernel
[17:47] <engemec> Speeder! I advise that you continue with 8.04
[17:47] <bbeebboopp> and no, you're not screwed Speeder
[17:47] <Speeder> whatever bbeebboopp, but the result must be a ntfs partition with the same files and same size
[17:48] <ldiamond> Is there an easy way (apt-get ?) to upgrade my kernell from -9 to -11
[17:48] <rainmanp7> engemec can't he do the 8.4 thing and then move to 8.10 ?
[17:48] <Speeder> I am screwed if I need to upgrade to 8.10
[17:48] <tavi> someone help me?
[17:48] <alex^> hello, im wondering if anyone could shed any light on my iowait 100% issue - http://pastebin.com/m1e75b255 --- while running SQL and doing inserts into a table, often, (once every 10k inserts) i notice the system spike in iowait to 100% for a 5-6 seconds, WITHOUT any bi or bo being used .... im running ubuntu 8.10 with 2.6.27-7 .... anyone have any suggestions on what could be causing this?
[17:48] <bbeebboopp> then there's a better way Speeder you can use ntfsclone (or something like that)... wait I'm looking for some info
[17:48] <lesshaste> can anyone tell me how to get the links to work at http://www.seftonparkschools.bristol.sch.uk/ ?
[17:48] <Titan8990> Speeder: you can use dd
[17:48] <engemec> rainmanp7: yes
[17:48] <Speeder> what is dd?
[17:48] <melt01> could someone assist me in uninstalling and reinstalling my sound card driver?
[17:48] <bbeebboopp> Speeder, use ntfsclone it's wonderful
[17:49] <bbeebboopp> don't use dd Speeder ;) ;)
[17:49] <Titan8990> Speeder: it copies disks, partitions, or files, bit for bit
[17:49] <Titan8990> Speeder: it is slow but reliable
[17:49] <bbeebboopp> ntfsclone is better suited for his task
[17:49] <jatt> hi I want to use my laptop for a presentation with an external projector which package should I install so I can redirect the video from my laptop to the projector?
[17:49] <engemec> Ubuntu 8.10 have some upgrades, but 8.04 is a LTS version
[17:49] <Speeder> erm
[17:49] <ibmuser> I have a problem with poor performance of my wireless adapter in ubuntu . Though it works seemlessly in windows ...
[17:49] <Gnea> Speeder: it's a utility that passes any kind of data from one point to another - not good for large installations
[17:49] <ibmuser> Any pointers guys ?
[17:49] <Speeder> when I tried to use ntfs clone it asked mt to type apt-get install ntfsprogs
[17:49] <bbeebboopp> Speeder, type ntfsclone in a terminal to see if it's installed
[17:49] <Speeder> but when I do that apt-get says that ntfsprogs do not exist
[17:50] <Gnea> Speeder: so type it
[17:50] <Titan8990> !info metasploit
[17:50] <Titan8990> !info metasploit-framework
[17:50] <Gnea> Speeder: are you sure you typed it correctly?
[17:50] <bbeebboopp> ntfsprogs DO exist Speeder !!!!
[17:50] <Titan8990> !metasploit
[17:50] <engemec> When you change to release version......, i don't advise, but you can chose.
[17:50] <Speeder> I typed it correctly
[17:50] <Speeder> already checked 5 times
[17:51] <Speeder> and checked with synaptic
[17:51] <chi_> Speeder,  then u gotta check your sources.list
[17:51] <Speeder> both apt-get and synaptic says that ntfsprogs do not exist
[17:51] <melt01> could someone assist me in uninstalling and reinstalling my sound card driver? it's an sblive and im not really sure how to go about it
[17:51] <stdin> !info ntfsprogs
[17:51] <Speeder> :/

[17:51] <engemec> Guys, i'm using remastersys. I would like to add some wallpapers, but i don't know how.
[17:51] <bbeebboopp> it has to exist, I used ntfsclone on hardy some while ago
[17:52] <Speeder> bbeebboopp:  done it, result: ntfs is not avaible, another package references it, to it may exist.

[17:53] <bastidrazor> Speeder; you typed it wrong if it is empty.
[17:53] <Speeder> yeah

[17:54] <Gnea> bbeebboopp: he just did...
[17:54] <Speeder> I can open synaptic, and it lists the packages and all...

[17:56] <Gnea> tavi: please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks
[17:56] <Titan8990> laprice: you don't point it at a local directory, use the dpkg command to install .deb that are on your local machine

[17:56] <n00balien> looking for help with VLC/mplayer/xine/totem when in Full screen mode randomly (at first i thought it was the AVi clip but it freezes in diffrent places) my video freezes for 5 secs, audio continues and video catchs up in sync can someone help
[17:56] <tavi> Gnea: on the launchpad on section firefox says ask on #ubuntu
[17:56] <engemec> tavi: you (tavi) have a site? Isn't it?
[17:56] <razor2006> Good Afternoon.  I'm having some issues with my sound card.  Can anyone please lend some advice as to how to fully uninstall ALSA so that I can reinstall it to resolve my issue?  If you don't know, just say so, it's okay, I just need an answer.
[17:57] <tavi> no is not mine is on the internet
[17:57] <tavi> i visit him
[17:57] <engemec> hum.
[17:57] <bbeebboopp> Speeder, looks okay :| what do you think Gnea ?
[17:57] <melt01> razor2006: im in the same boat
[17:57] <negge> My server suddenly locked up and I wasn't able to do anything with it, the last line in /var/log/syslog was this: "kernel: [2386780.275626] hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21". What just happened?
[17:57] <Titan8990> Have you tried adjusting you sound configuration in System -> Preferences -> sound/volume control?
[17:57] <engemec> tavi: you can see with other web browser?
[17:58] <Titan8990> !audio | melt01
[17:58] <tavi> engemec: i do not have another web browser
[17:58] <chi_> bbeebboopp, he needs to do apt update after moving the sources.list... i guess
[17:58] <melt01> Titan8990: everything seems fine there
[17:58] <n00balien> looking for help with VLC/mplayer/xine/totem when in Full screen mode randomly (at first i thought it was the AVi clip but it freezes in diffrent places) my video freezes for 5 secs, audio continues and video catchs up in sync can someone help
[17:58] <razor2006> Titan8990: yeah, i'm having a strange issue
[17:58] <elops> stdin: still here?
[17:58] <Gnea> Speeder: any luck yet?
[17:58] <Titan8990> melt01: check that sound troubleshooting link
[17:58] <elops> stdin: I didnt didn't know about that
[17:58] <AmaroKeN> Oh noes, my harddrives bugged once again ><
[17:58] <elops> stdin: so i juts wrote my own stuff
[17:58] <engemec> hum..... try with other web browser first
[17:58] <razor2006> Titan8990: my audio output is a high pitched beep, not sure what may be causing it, It's quite strange.  I've gone through all troubleshooting steps I can possibly think of.
[17:59] <ldiamond> Can anyone tell me how I can get my kernel from -9 to -11? (Intrepid)
[17:59] <bbeebboopp> why is that chi_ ? I'm confused :|
[17:59] <engemec> Opera for example!
[17:59] <Gnea> ldiamond: enable proposed updates
[17:59] <razor2006> Titan8990: The only other thing at this point I can possibly think of is to remove and reinstall ALSA, however, I'm not sure how to go about it without causing detrimental damage.
[17:59] <chi_> bbeebboopp,  na because if his aptitude didnt have any sources list for some time, it might be horrobly out of date
[18:00] <melt01> Titan8990: right, right....i didnt found anything specific to my problem there earlier, so now im just trying to figure out how uninstall and reinstall the sound driver to see if that does anything
[18:00] <engemec> tavi: sometimes, when a i have a trouble with firefox, i prefer use Opera or Samonkey
[18:00] <stdin> elops: you can just add rules to it, look at "man ufw" for usage info
[18:00] <tavi> engemec: i do not have them
[18:00] <bbeebboopp> have you done your updates regularly Speeder ? when did you install Ubuntu?
[18:00] <ldiamond> Gnea, where do I enable that?
[18:00] <Speeder> I just did apt-get update
[18:00] <Titan8990> melt01: that was the 2nd step in that troubleshooting article that you didn't look at
[18:00] <n00balien> looking for help with VLC/mplayer/xine/totem when in Full screen mode randomly (at first i thought it was the AVi clip but it freezes in diffrent places) my video freezes for 5 secs, audio continues and video catchs up in sync can someone help
[18:00] <tavi> engemec: so how i resolve that?
[18:00] <Titan8990> melt01: sudo aptitude --purge reinstall linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils linux-image-`uname -r` linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` libasound2
[18:00] <Speeder> I do not know when this thing got installed
[18:00] <Gnea> ldiamond: System->Administration->Software Sources
[18:00] <engemec> tavi: you can make downlod, www.opera.com
[18:01] <melt01> Titan8990: thank you so much
[18:01] <bbeebboopp> Speeder, now try sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs
[18:01] <mmm4m5m> Question: .cab archives (cabinet files) won't open in Archive Manager. What to do? 'cabextract' package already installed.
[18:01] <tavi> eng no i do not like opera
[18:01] <Speeder> bbeebboopp: nothing :/
[18:01] <Gnea> !opera
[18:01] <Heliodor> Any rep yet for KDE 4.2?
[18:01] <Speeder> seemly my ubuntu dislike ntfsprogs
[18:01] <bastidrazor> Speeder is using a spin off of Ubuntu.. Muslim edition. many 3rd party repo's in the sources.list.
[18:01] <ldiamond> Gnea, it is enabled
[18:01] <razor2006> Titan8890: I will try the same thing you just advised melt01 to try, hopefully it will assist me as well.
[18:01] <Gnea> bastidrazor: ...
[18:02] <sky_> anyone know about program like Hyper CAM ?
[18:02] <bbeebboopp> sure bastidrazor ??? where did you get your installation CD Speeder ???

[18:44] <razor2006> Pici: How do i remove the web based repositories?
[18:45] <killerboy> ok, i'll try to do it, thanks
[18:45] <filmore> solet: what about `less /lib/libsepol.so.1' ?
[18:45] <Pici> Speeder: It should.  Are you running Ubuntu?
[18:45] <razor2006> Pici: From System>Administration>Software sources?
[18:45] <Speeder> Yea
[18:45] <filmore> solet: should give a bunch of garbly-gook binary stuff
[18:45] <Speeder> I am running ubuntu 8.04
[18:45] <wolfey> razor2006: well all repositories are under /etc/apt/source.list ? you comment it or remvoe there, and apt-get update
[18:45] <tom_eats_lives> homecable,  i do not know the "bug/error" therefore google is useless.
[18:45] <Speeder> but seemly his ap-get was edited
[18:45] <Solet> filmore: read error (press RETURN)
[18:45] <wolfey> sources.list?
[18:46] <jwm> ?
[18:46] <rk_> i dont know if this is a bug to report it, when i unninstall samba-common, it also want to unninstall ubuntu-desktop.... is that the way it should be?
[18:46] <Pici> Speeder: Filenames and paths are case sensitive, make sure it is all lowercase
[18:46] <nickrud> Speeder, /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
[18:46] <jwm> I have a question about managing user profiles
[18:46] <wolfey> rk no samba no desktop! ;) joking
[18:46] <crdlb> dreamy: ok, it's too bad it's a laptop, so you can't upgrade it
[18:46] <tom_eats_lives> xorg suddenly crashes here is  Xorg.failsafe.log http://pastebin.com/m2635b52f
[18:47] <rk_> wolfey, ubuntu-desktop isnt the meta-package for all the gnome stuff?
[18:47] <jwm> Is anyone adept at manging users and groups?
[18:47] <wolfey> rk_: i think it is:)
[18:47] <rk_> i mean, why is a dependecy... and why it want to unninstall it
[18:47] <nickrud> rk_, not just gnome, but all the stuff ubuntu figures should be in a useful desktop machine
[18:48] <filmore> solet: sounds like you're more sever problems than a bad install. :-/     if you haven't backed up your critical data recently, do so. (odds are it'll all be fine, but ALWAYS keep recent backups just in case)
[18:48] <Chris1980>  
[18:48] <rk_> nickrud,  so its a bug that it want to unninstall the package when i unninstall samba-common?
[18:48] <nickrud> rk_, don't worry about the package ubuntu-desktop being removed; it's just a list of packages. If you remove the list, you don't remove the packages themselves.
[18:48] <wolfey> how can i clean unfinished packages from apt-get?
[18:48] <Solet> filmore: it's a persistant SD boot from a live image, trying to get crap working before i install for real
[18:48] <Krissed> Does anyone know if intel 4965 AGN wifi card is supported native in kubuntu ?
[18:48] <Solet> i'll just remake the image
[18:48] <nickrud> rk_, I wouldn't think so
[18:48] <rk_> I know, but should i report that as a bug?
[18:49] <jwm> how can I make USB ports inaccessible to a given user?
[18:49] <killerboy> Rebootia, sorry, still getting same error
[18:49] <rk_> ok :)
[18:49] <pyro2927> has anyone had trouble with the arrow keys when using VMWare?
[18:49] <filmore> solet: ahhhh, ok. what does adding the `-l' flag to ls do? `ls -l /lib/libsepol.so.1'
[18:49] <wolfey> krissed new intel cards are supported only in newest release, need .27 kernel
[18:49] <wolfey> i had to use beta two months ago
[18:49] <rk_> and in the same line.... is there any metapackage for all the gnome stuff?
[18:49] <nickrud> rk_, just be aware, when you upgrade to the next release you'll probably want ubuntu-desktop installed to get the latest and greatest stuff ubuntu thinks should be in a desktop :)
[18:50] <Solet> filmore: sorry already booted down and jumping back into origional non persistant image
[18:50] <jwm> It's as if I'm writing in white on a white background
[18:50] <filmore> solet: ok :)
[18:50] <Krissed> wolfey i just installed kubuntu so its a .27 core.. and i can find the networks just not my own.. its quite odd..
[18:50] <rk_> :)
[18:50] <Magnusmagnus> (Wubi ubuntu installation) while in ubuntu, I accidentally deleted the windows' boot manager, and had to pop in the vista CD to repair it.. When it was done fixing, ubuntu was removed from the list, or was never put in it. Does anyone know how to recover ubuntu to the Windows' boot manager list? I installed ubuntu via the Wubi
[18:50] <wolfey> Krissed: hm :)
[18:50] <tom_eats_lives> can some one kick homecable he is trying to make me run "dangerous scripts"
[18:51] <Krissed> wolf2385 i suppose i should try with no encryption on the router to begin with a bit later..
[18:51] <codazoda> Pulse Audio is uninstalled.  My sound is working like a champ.  Woot!
[18:51] <kub^^> hi i have a small issue with intrepid, i cant seem to find where to rename my host. i've read that doing it in /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname messes sudo. gksudo network-admin just runs then disapears
[18:51] <wolfey> Magnusmagnus: somethign like http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24113.html
[18:51] <Titan8990> !info build-essential | [tggrBot]
[18:51] <Pici> !hostname | kub^^
[18:51] <Krissed> Magnusmagnus i did the same... well using wubi.. id guess you should try installing lilo
[18:51] <wolfey> Magnusmagnus: you boot ubuntu cd
[18:51] <wolfey> go to command line
[18:51] <wolfey> and reinstall grub
[18:52] <jwm> users and groups help anyone?
[18:52] <kub^^> ty pici
[18:52] <whitedox> In avidemux, I have put marker A and B at the beginning and end of the clip I want. Now how do I get rid of the rest? Or how do I put my selected clip in a new video file?.
[18:52] <Magnusmagnus> Alright, ill try it now
[18:52] <Magnusmagnus> Thanks alot!
[18:52] <filmore> jwm: I know a bit, what's up?
[18:52] <AmaroKeN> hello, how can i run .cue / .bin files on my ubuntu?
[18:52] <jwm> i'm trying to restrict a given user from network and USB ports
[18:53] <nickrud> Magnusmagnus, Add a line to boot.ini pointing to c:\wubildr.mbr should do it
[18:53] <Magnusmagnus> Oh
[18:53] <Magnusmagnus> Alright
[18:53] <Magnusmagnus> I'll do that right now
[18:53] <wolfey> btw that question i asked about cleaning apt-get... apt-get purge that_package :)
[18:53] <wolfey> i remembered old advice from here
[18:53] <AmaroKeN> no help?, kk
[18:53] <Magnusmagnus> Does vista also have a boot.ini?
[18:54] <wolfey> Magnusmagnus: well probably you still have valid grub config
[18:54] <wolfey> but you need to boot live cd now
[18:54] <wolfey> and try to get into your ubuntu system, just boot is from cd
[18:54] <Magnusmagnus> Grub is ubuntu's boot manager?
[18:55] <wolfey> Magnusmagnus: for all windows you just have grub continue with windows loader, which is both on MBR and on partition
[18:55] <Stekarn> Hi, is there anyone who knows how i can boot a .bin file?, or alternative .cue, i need to have XP aswell :)
[18:55] <lstarnes> Magnusmagnus: yes
[18:55] <Magnusmagnus> I've always used windows' boot manager, never grub.. does this matter?
[18:55] <wolfey> Stekarn: use 'k3b'(linux) or 'nero' in windows?
[18:55] <Stekarn> "k3b" ? ;o
[18:56] <grndslm_> anybody like xchat-gnome more than plain ol' xchat??
[18:56] <wolfey> Stekarn: but linux burners only do .iso, so you have bin2iso package
[18:56] <mmu_man> can someone tell me why ubuntu keeps old kernels and headers around ?
[18:56] <mmu_man> I had 3 of them here
[18:56] <wolfey> Stekarn: bin is cd image, cue is just some text info about it
[18:56] <mmu_man> removing the 2 older freed like 400MB :)
[18:56] <Stekarn> it's for my windows XP, so i can actually boot the install from here?
[18:56] <wolfey> no, you burn it on cd
[18:57] <Stekarn> oh
[18:57] <Dulak> mmu_man: when you update it's good to have the old kernel to fall back on if you have issue with the new one
[18:57] <wolfey> bin is probably size of cd, isnt it?
[18:57] <Stekarn> 500-600 ish
[18:57] <wolfey> it's precise bit image of cd
[18:57] <Dulak> mmu_man: but more than 1 old kernel is overkill
[18:57] <nickrud> mmu_man, I hope you used synaptic/apt-get to remove the kernels ;)
[18:57] <vigo> Backups ensure sanity.
[18:57] <mmu_man> nickrud: sure I did
[18:58] <Stekarn> wolfey, soo, sudo apt get k3b or what?
[18:58] <wolfey> vigo: just backup important data, you can reinstall the rest ;)
[18:58] <wolfey> Stekarn: sudo apt-get install k3b bin2iso
[18:58] <Stekarn> ah
[18:58] <wolfey> if you want to burn under linux
[18:58] <vigo> heh
[18:58] <mmu_man> of course it's useful to have a fallback, but 2...
[18:58] <wolfey> linux only does .iso
[18:58] <mmu_man> oh well
[18:58] <wolfey> nero in windows does everytzhing
[18:58] <mmu_man> I think Debian does it too anyway :^)
[18:59] <mmu_man> anyway, ++
[18:59] <jwm> anyone good at user permissions?
[18:59] <wolfey> hmm
[18:59] <werdnum> !ask
[18:59] <Stekarn> Couldn't find the package bin2iso
[18:59] <Stekarn> E: *
[18:59] <wolfey> Stekarn: http://techbycolin.com/?p=130 perhaps better folllow this
[18:59] <grndslm_> sudo make me a sandwich!
[18:59] <canesfan> Yes I am good at user permissions
[19:00] <wolfey> Stekarn: bin2iso looks like not here anymore, i used it long ago
[19:00] <wolfey> Stekarn: http://techbycolin.com/?p=130 perhaps better folllow this
[19:01] <Stekarn> i've never really gotten how the whole folder thing works in terminal, any1 able to help?
[19:01] <canesfan> ask a question and I will see what I can do Stekarn
[19:01] <wolfey> Stekarn: cd folder, cd .. to move up
[19:01] <bmeynell> firefox is covering up my ubuntu toolbar... how can I fix this?
[19:01] <wolfey> Stekarn: cd /et and pressing TAB key autocompletes
[19:01] <Stekarn> h
[19:01] <Stekarn> oh*
[19:02] <jwm> can anyone help to restrict a given user from using USB devices, CD's network, and system reconfiguration?
[19:02] <wolfey> Stekarn: ls   to list files
[19:02] <hatter243> bmeynell, hold alt, click and hold anywhere in the firefox window and drag it somewhere else
[19:02] <Stekarn> LS?, or is that an "i" ?
[19:02] <wolfey> ls = list files
[19:02] <bmeynell> hatter243: tried that. doesn't work :/
[19:02] <wolfey> ls *  (same as DOS dir *.*)
[19:02] <canesfan> that is easy jwm. Go to user permissions and uncheck the mount drives and removable media
[19:03] <Stekarn> what if...i want to get to my 3rd harddrive with only one partition, and then folder Downloads?
[19:03] <ardchoille> How do I download an entire site with wget?  "wget -m <url> isn't working: http://ardchoille.pastebin.com/m504d195b
[19:03] <hatter243> bmeynell, I'll bet you have Compiz's window snapping on and probably the wobbly windows too eh?
[19:04] <bmeynell> hatter243: indeed
[19:04] <Stekarn> or if i want to access a .bin file via binchunk @ my desktop?
[19:04] <iPeter-> Hello, i'am wondering how i can get my gnome menu to transparent
[19:04] <Stekarn> binchunkER
[19:04] <Stekarn> ;o
[19:04] <hatter243> bmeynell, if you turn those off for a second, the windows will stop strectching around and retain their shapes while you alt+drag them around
[19:05] <bmeynell> hatter243: k, thanks!
[19:05] <canesfan> Stekarn type mount in terminal you will see the mountpoint for that third hard drive and than just cd to that. so for example if you third hard drive has one partition and is not mounted which I can't imagine it would be something like this... /dev/hdc1
[19:06] <Brack10> I'm trying to activate a guest XP install on an Ubuntu host vbox with ver 2.1.2 non free.  Apparently my XP copy uses DMI information to activate (per Dell), so I tried setting the manufacturer to Dell Inc. with "VBoxManage setextradata" like it says when I run dmidecode -t1.  This did not work.  Can anyone help me with this? #vbox doesn't care
[19:06] <canesfan> Stekarn it may be /dev/sdc1 depending on the type of drive controller
[19:06] <Stekarn> NTFS harddrives?
[19:06] <nickrud> iPeter-, try asking in #compiz-fusion, they specialize in that
[19:06] <lea> hallo
[19:07] <canesfan> you can mount NTFS hard drives too
[19:07] <Stekarn> i know
[19:07] <canesfan> do a man on mount
[19:07] <canesfan> but you would create a directory and call it say winxp in your home folder
[19:07] <Stekarn> what was the name of that paste site again?
[19:08] <vigo> !pastebin
[19:08] <Stekarn> as in copy / paste
[19:08] <canesfan> than using the example above I gave you mount -t ntfs /dev/hdc1 /home/stekarn/winxp
[19:08] <Slart> Brack10: sounds like you're doing things with your OEM install you're not allowed to do..
[19:08] <wolter> the ubuntu brainstorm is down, right?
[19:08] <daedalus384> help. my hard drive crashed and i had to reinstall ubuntu, but the only version that would take was 7.04. i cant get 7.04 to upgrade at all.
[19:08] <Brack10> Slart: lame
[19:09] <Brack10> Slart:  This has to be possible though, right?
[19:09] <bullgard4> What does effect the switch a in the 'ip a' command? I tried to grep for a in 'man 8 ip' but could not find an explanation.
[19:09] <Stekarn> http://paste.ubuntu.com/110405/ so, Tankat, Dowloads, Win Xp > asd.Bin!
[19:09] <Stekarn> ( Example ) :P
[19:09] <Slart> Brack10: sure, but this isn't the place
[19:09] <Brack10> ok
[19:11] <Stekarn>  lol?
[19:11] <Slart> bullgard4: I would guess ip address
[19:12] <daedalus384> anybody know why i cant update or upgrade from 7.04?
[19:12] <Slart> bullgard4: I mean.. "ip a" is the same as "ip address".. perhaps you can find out what it means now
[19:13] <Slart> daedalus384: you've lost your keyboard? you can't see what you're doing? details will improve the answers.. perhaps even to some degree of usefulness =)
[19:13] <bullgard4> Slart: I am hurrying to find out.
[19:14] <Pici> daedalus384: 7.04 is no longer supported.  Please see this link for info on how to upgrade: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades#Fully%20updating%207.04
[19:15] <Stekarn> man!, i regret choosing ubuntu, it's waay to complicated for newbies ;p
[19:15] <daedalus384> thanks pici
[19:15] <gavi> i am using ubuntu for since 7.10 was out and i like it very much, but theres alot of things in it which windows was much better at. for example when i save a document, it doesnt direct me imediatly to /home/user/Documents but thats just one small things. windows has alot of these small things which ubuntu dont have. Regardless ubuntu cant get screewed with spyware like windows can.. anyone can give me their thought on the topic
[19:16] <Stekarn> Most games and filetypes are designed for windows aswell ;o
[19:16] <Slart> gavi: hmm.. are you sure about the documents thingy? I think at least open office does that.. anyways.. the question is perhaps more suited for #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:16] <whitedox> I have 53 images that I need to make into 1 gif. What is the easiest way to go about this?
[19:16] <VanessaE> gavi: well., on that particular note, it's because your *entire* home directory is available for your use
[19:16] <gavi> Stekarn, thats a big point, but for my computer purposes i never play games..
[19:17] <Slart> whitedox: check if imagemagick can't do it
[19:17] <gavi> Slart, i will take it there, excuese me
[19:17] <ZeroA4> Stekarn, that not an ubuntu problem...
[19:17] <Slart> gavi: no worries
[19:17] <VanessaE> For example, on my system, I use "Textfiles"
[19:17] <Dist-> is there any way to use XP or Vista drivers in ubuntu some how? im having an issue with audio output, its distorted in ubuntu, but fine if i run XP
[19:18] <VanessaE> dist: generally, no.
[19:18] <Slart> Dist-: there is ndiswrapper.. I'm not sure if it works for general stuff or only network cards..
[19:18] <bewst> Need help recovering.  My root partition is on LVM; the boot process says it doesn't exist, drops me into busybox, yet I can mount it.
[19:19] <Flannel> bewst: Is /boot on LVM?
[19:19] <whitedox> Slart, I have imagemagick, but I suck at command line stuff.
[19:19] <bewst> FLannel: no; I didn't think that was even possible
[19:19] <Slart> whitedox: perhaps there is a gui for imagemagick.. have you checked their site? or synaptic?
[19:19] <bastidrazor> whitedox; possibly gimp?
[19:19] <Dist-> its a shame, i thought intel hardware was usualy well supported on ubuntu, but its just this sound that doesn't seem to work right with whatever drivers come with ubuntu 8.10
[19:19] <bewst> Dist-: distortion is usually due to level settings somewhere in the arcane mixer pathways of Linux, not a driver issue
[19:19] <Flannel> bewst: It's not easy (you have to much around with temporary RAMDISKs and stuff) just wanted to make sure you had /boot off of LVM
[19:20] <bewst> Dist-: try double-clicking the speaker icon in your panel and fiddling
[19:20] <ZeroA4> whitedox, you should take a time to learn COS command line is great for batch processing
[19:20] <doglino> HOw I do to desintall a program in ubuntu?
[19:20] <NeoMatrixJR> is there anyway to tell what may be using a specific ioport?
[19:20] <Stekarn> how do i find my way to my desktop via terminal?
[19:20] <amorphous_> could anyone tell me if a dodgy network cable introduced to a network could shut down the whole network (slowly - slowing it to a stop until nothing remains...:(
[19:20] <Pici> Stekarn: cd ~/Desktop
[19:20] <Stekarn> cd?
[19:20] <bewst> Flannel: so I do.  Now what?  It sure seems to take a long time even to get there.  There's a long pause before GRUB menu comes up, for example
[19:20] <amorphous_> and...
[19:21] <ZeroA4> doglino, applications - add/remove
[19:21] <MikyMouse> ebox or wbemin? (and dont tell me that webmin is not longer supported), I am asking about featrues and ussability
[19:21] <ezerhoden> Stekarn: change directory
[19:21] <Slart> amorphous_: hard to say.. if it's placed in a very central/special location then perhaps.. if not.. I'd say unlikely
[19:21] <amorphous_> what is the best tools in the nettools package to test a network to see how efficient it is? is ping the best thing to use to check for lost packets?
[19:21] <doglino> ZeroA4 ok, it' true
[19:21] <doglino> ;)
[19:21] <Slart> MikyMouse: whatever the question is I don't think ebox is a good answer =)
[19:21] <Flannel> bewst: Before GRUB?  that's odd.  Does it POST within a normal time?  I'm not really sure what would cause that.  Since thats mostly just BIOS stuff and then stage1.
[19:21] <Dist-> what is PCM in the mixer panel?
[19:22] <Stekarn> i'll mainly wanna find my files easily, since i need to find em so i can burn a ISO from the .bin and .cue files i got
[19:22] <MikyMouse> Slart, got you ;=
[19:22] <amorphous_> Slart - it links to some Power over Ethernet... that give any clues?
[19:22] <bewst> Flannel: I have never been sure what POST is, but I think it is slow :-)
[19:22] <Joker_-_> hey there, can anyone help with that?: http://rafb.net/p/TGH6Pg43.html
[19:22] <Slart> Dist-: kind of like "wave" in some windows drivers
[19:23] <Dist-> that seems to be the problem
[19:23] <Trunks__> spanish?
[19:23] <bewst> Dist-: Don't start asking what those sliders mean; it's totally inscrutable.
[19:23] <shubbar> i have a WD external harddisk that is not shown when connected
[19:23] <Slart> amorphous_: nah... don't really know what could go wrong with poe.. but I suppose it shouldn't affect anything other than the computers at the ends of that cable
[19:23] <Dist-> if i lower PCM to much lower (it was at about 70%), and increase the master, the sound is much better
[19:23] <Trunks__> how can i mount a fat partition with total access to all users?
[19:24] <Slart> shubbar: run this in a terminal, "tail -f /var/log/syslog".. disconnect the drive, reconnect it... wait a couple of seconds.. pastebin whatever showed up in the terminal window (ctrl+c to close that command when you're done)
[19:24] <Dist-> im not sure how PCM differs from master, since PCM alters the volume just like master, not sure why it distorts it as it increases
[19:24] <Slart> !pastebin | shubbar
[19:24] <bewst> Dist-: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187848 :-)  Enjoy.
[19:24] <Joker_-_> Trunks__: moun tit in a directory to wich all users have access... thats pretty much it
[19:24] <filthpig> will the kde4.2 package be available in hardy repos, or will I have to upgrade (to jaunty?) to get it in a repo?
[19:24] <bewst> Flannel: yst?
[19:25] <MikyMouse> What about Catalyst?
[19:25] <amorphous_> Slart - that's what I would'v thought, but as soon as I connect it everything goes down. With only the POE cables/boxes there's no probs, but as soon as a pc/mac goes on the network crumbles. Is there anythign I could check for?
[19:25] <Trunks__> joker:chmod 777 <dir>
[19:25] <Pici> filthpig: Probably not.  There may be ppas available.  See #kubuntu
[19:25] <Joker_-_> Trunks__: yeah, should do the trick.
[19:26] <Trunks__> don't work
[19:26] <Stekarn> is it easier just using CDEmu to start my Windows XP install?, even if it's a .bin file?
[19:26] <Joker_-_> Trunks__: fat systems doesnt have any sort of ownership from what I know
[19:26] <Slart> amorphous_: hmm.. I'm not really good with networking on that level.. I would start capturing packages.. see if something weird pops up.. then I would go on irc and ask if someone had any better ideas =)
[19:27] <Joker_-_> Trunks__: you can always try to chmod -R a+xrw /your/directory/with/drive/mounted
[19:27] <Joker_-_> Trunks__: could take some time to execute if theres is a lot of files, and note that all file permission will be recursively resetted.
[19:27] <amorphous_> Slart, I'm a bit noob (sorry) - could you just give me a few pointers on the 'capture packages' bit - just need a start, i can fumble from there...
[19:27] <Joker_-_> Trunks__: altho I dont think fat systems have any
[19:29] <v0rt3_x86> I'm attempting to install Ubuntu 8.10 onto an HP OmniBook Pro XE2 DC. 4 GB HDD, 256 MB RAM, 400 or 450 MHz processor. After the splash screen with the progress bar loads, it goes to a console vs. actually installing. Anyone know of how to get past this?
[19:29] <Trunks__> 256 MB RAM, 400 or 450 MHz processor
[19:29] <bieb> just installed ubuntu8.10, what are the best players for listening to mp3s?
[19:29] <Slart> amorphous_: wireshark would be one tool.. see what kind of traffic flows through.. see what changes when you connect the weird cable.. I'm not really sure what to look for but perhaps something will stand out
[19:30] <hatter243> !mp3 | bieb
[19:30] <Trunks__> bieb that is personal
[19:30] <hatter243> =/ Sorry bieb, I thought that would have more information
[19:30] <bieb> thanks hatter
[19:30] <alanbshepard70> When I try to mute my laptop speakers by using the icon top right of my screen if a sound tries to play my speakers crackle. I've found that if I mute both the PCM and Master sound vol control this doesn't happen. What commands can be run to do this at a single click? i.e. I can make a script that a shortcut can call for quite and painless muting and unmuting.
[19:30] <v0rt3_x86> Trunks__  - So it can't run the GUI?
[19:30] <Stekarn> how do i get CDEmu??
[19:30] <Joker_-_> Trunks__: if it still doesnt work, I'm missing something. You can always have a look at squash or squas_fs... something like that. I know it works with network file systems, but never read on using that for local drive
[19:30] <Trunks__> v0rt3_x86: i gues
[19:30] <amorphous_> thanks Slart - very appreciated.
[19:30] <Trunks__> s
[19:30] <Trunks__>  Joker_-_: umask

[19:30] <bieb> hatter243: that was perfect, I appreciate it
[19:31] <v0rt3_x86> Trunks__ - Really?? It runs Windows2000 & Windows XP ... *tilts head*

[19:33] <crashflow> is there a GUI for wget?

[19:33] <Joker_-_> Trunks__: so, it worked or not?
[19:33] <v0rt3_x86> Trunks__: I can't wrap my head around it running XP but not even XFCE. Can you think of anything else it could be?
[19:33] <hatter243> alanbshepard70, that
[19:34] <Besogon> v0rt3_x86, just tipe Gentoo in browser
[19:34] <phorensic> Whats up foos
[19:34] <hatter243> alanbshepard70, that's a strange problem... If you've bent on the script solution, have you tried aumix -v <volume> ?
[19:34] <Trunks__>  Joker_-_: am trying, anyway thx :)
[19:34] <amorphous_> thx, slart
[19:34] <mst__> Hey, does anyone know how I can change the default bootloader to LILO from GRUB, i.e. when I install a new kernel ubuntu automatically updates lilo to the MBR rather than GRUB?
[19:34] <alanbshepard70> hatter243: No I haven't tried it but I will now.
[19:35] <hatter243> alanbshepard70, Here's the page for it: http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_aumix.htm
[19:35] <Joker_-_> v0rt3_x86: you tryed slackware? or gentoo of course but you'd have to compile for about a week to install, and maybe compile 2 days a week to update ;)
[19:35] <Haji_2> hello, how do i get gsynaptics to work? settings in xorg.conf are ignored i think
[19:35] <v0rt3_x86> I need a good, easy to use GUI though. It's a friends old laptop and her stupid kids keep download pron and making it crash.
[19:35] <alanbshepard70> hatter243: Thanks.
[19:36] <phorensic> pron makes ubuntu crash oh no! Im screwed!
[19:36] <mst__> Haji_2, I believe you just need the "SHMConfig" "on" addition to the Device "Pointer" section of xorg.conf
[19:36] <hatter243> phorensic, that has not been my experience
[19:36] <v0rt3_x86> phorensic - They were previously on Win2k
[19:36] <Joker_-_> v0rt3_x86: look for dsl or dsl-N or something like that... I think it can run on pretty small systems and is kinda usable.
[19:36] <phorensic> v0rt3_x86: Ok that makes sense
[19:37] <Haji_2> mst__, didn't work..
[19:37] <phorensic> hatter243: lol u perv! hahah
[19:37] <v0rt3_x86> All I need is some version of AIM to run, a web browser and that's it.
[19:37] <Joker_-_> v0rt3_x86: and since it can run from CD, you can crap it all you want, it always reboots fresh and ready
[19:37] <whitedox> Whenever I save a clip from a video using avidemux, every video player says the clip is unplayable. help?
[19:37] <phorensic> v0rt3_x86: you can connect to aim within pidgin (comes with ubuntu) and of course firefox
[19:38] <mst__> Haji_2, Is that what gsynatpics is complaining about not having? I don't use it anymore... I just remember having to do that
[19:38] <Joker_-_> can anyone HELP with that: http://rafb.net/p/TGH6Pg43.html
[19:38] <v0rt3_x86> phorensic - won't run ubuntu.
[19:38] <v0rt3_x86> just goes to console.
[19:38] <TakeABow> Could anyone help me with settuing up an FTP in ubuntu please? Preferably one with a GUI
[19:39] <v0rt3_x86> Oh, and I need to be able to use some kind of USB wireless network adapter.
[19:39] <Haji_2> mst__, i just like to set up my touchpad correctly ^^ everything i put into the xorg.conf concerning synaptics is just being ignored
[19:39] <phorensic> v0rt3_x86: why not?
[19:39] <Joker_-_> v0rt3_x86: check for DSL and DSL-N (Known as Damn Small Linux and Damn Small Linux Not)
[19:39] <phorensic> TakeABow: You need the client or help setting up the server as well?
[19:40] <TakeABow> phorensic, just the server, i'm just an utter noob with linux and need to get one setup on this server
[19:40] <Baughn> Haji_2: You're apparently supposed to use HAL, not xorg.conf. Well...
[19:40] <Xyc0> whoa, it's like a power rush... single user mode rocks
[19:40] <v0rt3_x86> Joker_-_: Think DSL-N will be able to handle the USB wireless adapter?
[19:40] <thomas___> Can anyone help me my bookmarks keep automaticly scrolling up when i'm trying to scroll down >.<
[19:40] <phorensic> TakeABow: is this for a local network?
[19:40] <Xyc0> real men login as root
[19:40] <TakeABow> no, internet
[19:40] <Joker_-_> v0rt3_x86: read on it, you'll see. I'm giving ideas, you're doing the work :P
[19:41] <v0rt3_x86> :P
[19:41] <rom1v> hi
[19:41] <rom1v> will firefox 3.1 in ubuntu 9.04?
[19:41] <Slart> shubbar: sorry.. I've been preparing to go out.. don't have time to help you.. but ask the channel again.. I'm sure someone has some idea
[19:41] <Joker_-_> rom1v: why not?
[19:41] <phorensic> TakeABow: ftp is not secure you should be using ssh for things like that
[19:41] <rom1v> if it's the 3.0 in 9.04, will it be upgraded to 3.1 before 9.10?
[19:41] <Baughn> Haji_2: http://brage.info/~svein/synaptics.fdi <-- Put this in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/, then customize it as you like. Should be fairly simple.
[19:41] <mst__> Haji_2, but does gsynaptics start? or will the program not even load?
[19:41] <rom1v> why not : I don't know when ff3.1 will be out
[19:41] <smo_PenguinStyle> hey all.  I was wondering how to vpn from my linux laptop into the network at work (windows)..
[19:41] <Haji_2> Baughn, kk thanks i'll try that
[19:41] <TakeABow> phorensic, i just want it to download files from the ubuntu box
[19:42] <Joker_-_> rom1v: then you got your answer: probably not!
[19:42] <Baughn> Haji_2: Oh, and you'll need to restart hal. /etc/init.d/hal restart before restarting X.
[19:42] <Joker_-_> rom1v: but it will be upgraded later when it's out and tested
[19:42] <Baughn> Haji_2: (Technically you don't need to also restart X, but you probably can't unplug your touchpad)
[19:42] <rom1v> Joker_-_, and it will upgraded BEFORE 9.10?
[19:42] <thomas___> please someone how do I stop firefox crashing and my bookmarks scrolling up when I'm trying to scroll down
[19:42] <rom1v> I mean, if ff3.1 is out on july
[19:42] <Haji_2> Baughn, kki
[19:42] <rom1v> or may
[19:42] <Haji_2> Baughn, kk*
[19:42] <rom1v> ubuntu won't stay with 3.0?
[19:42] <rom1v> like openoffice 2.4 in ubuntu 8.10?
[19:42] <paresh_> I am trying to install libxml2 from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/libxml2/2.6.32.dfsg-4ubuntu1. I have downloaded and extracted the contents. How do I install it/
[19:42] <Joker_-_> rom1v: if it's out and tested, I guess! Why exactly?
[19:42] <phorensic> TakeABow: right but even still you shouldn't use ftp for that specially if the ubuntu box is your own
[19:43] <smo_PenguinStyle> hey all.  I was wondering how to vpn from my linux laptop into the network at work (windows).... any thoughts?
[19:43] <DIFH-iceroot> paresh_: use apt-get
[19:43] <Thermal> rom1v: Discuss it in Ubuntu+1 =P
[19:43] <DIFH-iceroot> paresh_: always you the paketmanager instead of downloading the stuff
[19:43] <TakeABow> phorensic: how come? if i set up ssh or whatever you said, would i still be able to download files from a particular folder (it will only be 1 folder)
[19:43] <MTb_s> Hello !
[19:43] <MTb_s> I've crypt my home with LUKS, and I'm trying to auto login with my USB key have you some tutorial please?
[19:43] <MTb_s> THANKS
[19:44] <DIFH-iceroot> paresh_: sudo apt-get install libxml2
[19:44] <paresh_> DIFH-iceroot: alright, let me try
[19:45] <Baughn> Haji_2: Oh, and tell me if it works. ;)
[19:45] <thomas___> my online radio keeps cutting out on firefox as well is there anyway to fix this please
[19:45] <phorensic> TakeABow: yes, although Im not the one to help you with ssh, i haven't used it in forever....but basically ftp sends yor passwords in plaintext and therefore your pc is easily comprimised
[19:45] <Haji_2> brb
[19:45] <Baughn> smo_PenguinStyle: Networkmanager already has a VPN menu. Did you try that?
[19:45] <Bombenleger> hi
[19:45] <geoffrian> anyone here have a VIA chip?
[19:45] <bantu_> Hey peeps
[19:45] <thomas___> it doesn't happen when I use firefox on windows
[19:46] <AmaroKeN> how do i get my .bin / .cue files to run properly on linux? ( WinXP installer )
[19:46] <geoffrian> my 1.2 gigs only work at 599megahertz
[19:46] <Bombenleger> are here any germans
[19:46] <Bombenleger> ??????
[19:46] <Baughn> smo_PenguinStyle: You'll need to install the network-manager-pptp package before it'll work, though. You'd think it'd warn you.
[19:46] <Baughn> AmaroKeN: Install bin2cue to repack it into an iso
[19:46] <Baughn> AmaroKeN: Er. bin2iso.
[19:47] <AmaroKeN> how? ;p, new to linux
[19:48] <Baughn> AmaroKeN: Well, apparently ubuntu doesn't bundle it. Hmm.
[19:48] <Haji_2> Baughn, well i did everything you said but no difference ;)
[19:48] <Baughn> Haji_2: You /may/ need to also undo the xorg.conf changes you did before
[19:48] <Baughn> Haji_2: Er, which version of ubuntu are you on anyway?
[19:48] <Arrick> hey all, how do i create a symlink to phpmyadmin through termial, to my existing web directory?
[19:48] <AmaroKeN> so then what?
[19:48] <Baughn> Arrick: ln -s
[19:48] <Baughn> Arrick: (See the manpage for ln)
[19:49] <Haji_2> Baughn, not ubuntu, debian but should be the same (i think)
[19:49] <Baughn> Haji_2: No. It isn't the same at all.
[19:49] <Stormx2> Baughn, bchunk seems to convert between bin/cue
[19:49] <Baughn> Haji_2: Go ask in #debian.
[19:49] <Baughn> Stormx2: Oh yeah, that'Ll work too
[19:49] <Baughn> AmaroKeN: Install bchunk. ;)
[19:49] <paresh_> DIFH-iceroot: tks, now I want to install WSF/C (and then WSF/Ruby) to my Intrepid machine. Is there a way to do it without downloading the tar file?
[19:49] <coz_> so are they new style notifications avaiable to intrepid?
[19:49] <AmaroKeN> got it
[19:49] <Haji_2> Baughn, damn ^^
[19:49] <me`n`u> sind hier deutsche?
[19:50] <AmaroKeN> and my files at the desktop is named: klockren-xpsp2.bin, how do i use em?
[19:50] <v0rt3_x86> Another question about Ubuntu and DSL-N - which packages do I need to download when I find an application I like? Like the extension.
[19:50] <DIFH-iceroot> paresh_: look with "apt-cache search PROGRAMNAME" if the paket exists and then install with sudo apt-get install PAKETNAME
[19:50] <mst__> Anyone know how to change the default boot loader to lilo instead of grub post install?
[19:51] <bantu_> Whats a torrent and how do I use it?
[19:51] <Skaag> new install of ubuntu desktop... ftp and ping work fine, but http does not
[19:51] <Baughn> bantu_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_(protocol)
[19:51] <Skaag> can not load any site, and can not even telnet to port 80 of any site
[19:51] <AmaroKeN> Baughn, how do i use Bchunk?
[19:51] <bantu_> I want to compile mplayer in Ubuntu 8.04
[19:51] <Baughn> AmaroKeN: Just run it from the command line
[19:51] <AmaroKeN> Terminal?
[19:51] <Baughn> Yep
[19:51] <me`n`u> how much space takes ubuntu on my pc?
[19:52] <Baughn> bantu_: Which has nothing to do with any torrents
[19:52] <AmaroKeN> well, i'm not good @ Terminal, i do NOT know a SINGLE COMMAND! ;O
[19:52] <phorensic> mst__: http://www.bauer-power.net/2007/08/changing-from-grub-to-lilo-ubuntu-704.html
[19:52] <paresh_> DIFH-iceroot: checked, it doesnt exist over there
[19:52] <Baughn> me`n`u: Eh. Fifteen gigabytes is decent, but you can squeeze it into a lot less at need.
[19:52] <bantu_> I keep getting this error, missing header files
[19:52] <Baughn> me`n`u: More is of course better. :P
[19:52] <tag> Since upgrading to intrepid, my GDM splash screen shows up incredibly small (about 1/16th of my screen size) in the top left corner of my physical screen area [ thinkpad T60, ati mobility X1400 ].  When I log in, everything looks just fine...any ideas on how to fix that?
[19:52] <Haji_2> Baughn, well i think i found something - thanks anyway
[19:53] <tag> It's only annoying...but it's pretty massively annoying.
[19:53] <bantu_> Baughn I know, Ok. I'm not exactly a linux newbie...but..
[19:53] <gam3r111> can someone help with xsane
[19:53] <me`n`u> Baughn: thanks... how big is the install.exe?
[19:53] <AmaroKeN> Are you ignoring me?
[19:53] <bantu_> Coming from Kenya, internet connections are a luxury for home computer users
[19:53] <chazco> Hi... how can I control my Ubuntu netbook from my Ubuntu desktop, but making full use of the desktops resolution (1440x900 vs the 1024x600 of the netbook)?
[19:54] <mst__> phorensic, The instructions on that page are good, and I read them before I installed Lilo to the MBR of my computer... however, when something like a kernel update happens Ubuntu will still call update-grub after aptitude has done all its stuff... I want ubuntu to know about lilo during this process
[19:54] <ubuntuuser234234> hey guys, got a problem. Whenever I start up ubuntu I have to right click on the volume control open it up and move speaker volume from all the way down to an appropriate volume. As the volume control normally controls the master volume this is even more of a pain. Anyone know why this is happening/ how to fix it?
[19:54] <bantu_> So when I finally got my gsm phone to act like a modem using wvdial...
[19:54] <bantu_> I want to get as much info as possible on all the things I didn't know before
[19:54] <gam3r111> how can i login remotely from my windows computer?/
[19:55] <ubuntuuser234234> gam3r111, vnc
[19:55] <phorensic> mst__: Oh I see, yah you mentioned something about that huh... im not sure
[19:55] <gam3r111> thx
[19:55] <AmaroKeN> baughn, how do i use Bchunk via Terminal??, please answer me :<
[19:55] <mst__> phorensic, thanks though :-)
[19:56] <phorensic> mst__: I could see how that would be a pita
[19:56] <Baughn> AmaroKeN: Uh. Run it, look at the helpful help text?
[19:56] <AmaroKeN> Where?
[19:56] <Baughn> In a terminal.
[19:56] <Baughn> And no, I'm just not around playing l4d.
[19:56] <AmaroKeN> it doesn't say a thing in terminal ;o
[19:57] <mst__> phorensic, Yeah, it's more like I want everything to be Ubuntu-ified and just work, if I wanted to do a lot of work to *use* my computer rather than do a lot of work using my computer I'd use slackware or LFS or something
[19:57] <bantu_> Baughn anyway I could reach you on email?
[19:57] <bantu_> Got a bunch of questions
[19:58] <TakeABow> Urggh, can someone help me with setting up vsftpd please?
[19:58] <ubuntuuser234234> anyone know how to keep my speaker volume from resetting to 0 on restart?
[19:59] <chrism> Im using lamp on a wireless network iv portforwarded my router i think my isp is blocking port 80 i tried to change the port for apache, but then lamp doesnt work at all..when apache is on 80 though i can at least see it locally but not remote.
[20:00] <phorensic> mst__: haha.. true, what was wrong with grub that you wanted to use lilo?
[20:00] <bantu_> chris whats port 89 for?
[20:00] <chrism> port 80.
[20:00] <chrism> apache webserver.
[20:01] <nroot7> When my system recovers from sleep, I am not able to move mouse pointer
[20:01] <bantu_> Anyone proficient in Python?
[20:01] <chrism> its just weird, the router blocks everything even when i portforward the darn thing.
[20:01] <chrism> bantu_,  yeah u got a job for me?
[20:02] <AmaroKeN> if i want to use files on bchunk which are on the desktop, what shall i do, "sudo bchunk 'desktop' klockren-xpsp2.bin klockren-xpsp2.cue klockren-xpsp2" or wtf???
[20:02] <bantu_> chris you'd really like that wouldn't you? Hehehe
[20:02] <chrism> sure i love the $$
[20:02] <mst__> phorensic, This is strange... so hold on to your hat. My laptop's cdrom drive works fine for installing ubuntu, but then disappears after the installation is complete and I boot from the HDD using Grub. If I boot using Lilo, I have a cdrom drive... weired eh?
[20:02] <phorensic> chrism: Im sure this is a dumb question, but you port forwarded to the correct IP address? And is this IP static?
[20:03] <Baughn> AmaroKeN: No need for sudo
[20:03] <Baughn> AmaroKeN: But seriously, if you run just bchunk, you should get quite a lot of output
[20:03] <chrism> phorensic, im pretty sure, my router is on 192.168.1.1 and i forwarded it apache and mysql to 196.168.1.104
[20:04] <AmaroKeN> i did, it did NOT make any sense, since i've never found out how to figure out the directories in terminal
[20:04] <Baughn> phorensic: Check with netcat
[20:04] <chrism> so like where it says ip adress i put 192.168.1.104
[20:04] <slippyr4> hi all. what package do i want to install to be able to read .tex files ? ideally a gtk app.
[20:04] <Baughn> AmaroKeN: Ah. Well, in that case this is a good time to do so.
[20:04] <bantu_> Well chris any way I could get in touch with you?
[20:04] <AmaroKeN> well?, how?
[20:04] <Baughn> slippyr4: Those aren'T meant to be readable
[20:04] <chrism> phorensic,  should i put my real adress in there?
[20:04] <bantu_> On the side...
[20:04] <Baughn> slippyr4: ..well, not to normal people
[20:04] <Baughn> slippyr4: You use latex to turn them into pdf files, mostly
[20:04] <phorensic> mst__: whoah hella weird... no way possibly fix the cd-rom errors instead installing a different bootloader? Or is this one of grubs issues with loading certain hardware?
[20:05] <slippyr4> Baughn: oh. ok. thanks
[20:05] <chrism> bantu_, u can pm me if youd like.
[20:05] <Baughn> slippyr4: Er, unless it actually is a latex file, and not a tex files; both use .tex for an extension
[20:05] <mst__> phorensic, I can boot with grub w/ CDROM if i pass "acpi = off" to the kernel... but that sucks for a laptop
[20:05] <Baughn> slippyr4: In which case any text editor will open it, but.. it'll still look better after being compiled to a pdf; the .tex for is for editing, not reading.
[20:05] <phorensic> chrism: your real address?? i believe you have it forwarded correctly
[20:06] <Baughn> AmaroKeN: http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Training/Tutorials/Reference/unixprimer.html
[20:06] <chrism> phorensic,  maybe thats the problem, but on portforward.com it says to put in 192.168.1.104...
[20:06] <phorensic> mst__: wow funky
[20:06] <chrism> like whatever your local connection ip is..
[20:06] <what_if> I cannot run the Realplayer installer. Bash says "./RealPlayer11GOLD.bin: No such file or directory"
[20:06] <phorensic> mst__: you think its more of a grub issue or kernel funkyness?
[20:07] <phorensic> chrism: OH I see no you use your ip address of the pc
[20:07] <ldiamond> I am unable to upgrade to 2.6.27-11... all I can get is 2.6.27-9. Why?
[20:07] <mst__> phorensic, really funky... I think it's grub since Lilo boots the same kernel w/o problems, either that or some problem with the way grub and the kernel communicate, something not there with lilo's simplicity maybe
[20:07] <phorensic> chrism: I think they are using that address as an example as if that was your actual ip.. its not that then huh?
[20:07] <bullgard4> '~$ ip address; 100: wifi0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 199  link/ieee802.11 00:05:4e:47:3e:86 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff; 101: ath0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue  link/ether 00:05:4e:47:3e:86 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff'. How do the two network interfaces differ essentially?
[20:07] <Pici> ldiamond: -11 is only in the -proposed repositories
[20:08] <magnusmagnus> Someone helped me with a wubi related problem, where ubuntu wouldn't show up on vista's bootloader and provided me with a link.. I'm now in the LiveCD and forgot what to do, and what the link is T_T
[20:08] <magnusmagnus> Can someone help me?
[20:08] <Baughn> bullgard4: Well, the wifi0 one is a virtual interface used for.. stuff. It doesn't really make sense, basically you should just ignore it.
[20:08] <Baughn> bullgard4: The ath0 one is the real one.
[20:08] <phorensic> mst__: In there rare instances that grub has issues good ol trusty lilo steps in
[20:08] <ldiamond> Pici, ty
[20:08] <Baughn> bullgard4: Unless you actually have two wifi cards, I suppose.
[20:08] <chrism> phorensic, could be.. im not exactly sure..well i might as well try my real adress and see what happens.
[20:09] <phorensic> chrism: for sure you need to put in your real address
[20:09] <mst__> phorensic, I just find it funny, I haven't used lilo since the 2.4.x series of kernels, I think it was redhat 7.2 or something (the last time i used it)
[20:09] <phorensic> chrism: otherwise you are forwarding to an address that doesn't exist
[20:09] <bantu_> Aaaah FinallY!! I remember a question!! Anyone that can show me how to boot a Iso image of puppy
[20:10] <Baughn> bantu_: Burn it, then reboot your computer?
[20:10] <bantu_> from a flash disk
[20:10] <Baughn> Oh..
[20:10] <chrism> good call so like whatevewr cpe-65-189-217-171.neo.res.rr.com resolves to ill put that in
[20:10] <AmaroKeN> Baughn, can't you just help me out with remote desktop or something? :P
[20:10] <chrism> *crossin my fingers*
[20:10] <Baughn> bantu_: You may have some luck with unetbootin
[20:10] <bullgard4> Baughn: I have got one Wifi network card. As the command testifies, the two interfaces differ in their properties. Where do you know from that wifi0 is a virtual interface? What does 'virtuel' mean here?
[20:10] <Baughn> AmaroKeN: That wouldn't help you learn anything.
[20:10] <phorensic> mst__: I was doing a little read up. Redhat switched to grub after decades of using lilo, and put lilo in the possibly depreciate this software category. They really were pushing grub so the rest of the 'herd' followed suit.
[20:11] <AmaroKeN> yes, cause then i would see what you do, and then i would know, since i see it ;o
[20:11] <Baughn> bullgard4: The atheros driver exports two network interfaces, but it actually only has one physical interface
[20:11] <Baughn> bullgard4: That's why one of them is "virtual".
[20:11] <bantu_> unetbootin?
[20:11] <Baughn> bullgard4: For all practical purposes, you should ignore wifi-.
[20:11] <phorensic> chrism: it will work.. the problem is forwarding to non-existent address
[20:11] <mst__> phorensic, well, I remember when Grub was first becomming popular (i.e. pervasive) that lilo still couldn't boot if your system's root was located past sector 1024 on the hdd
[20:11] <mst__> phorensic, so that may have had something to do with it, the popularity of dual booting and all
[20:12] <Baughn> bullgard4: (There are technical reasons, but they don't matter when you just use it)
[20:12] <magnusmagnus> My ubuntu dualboot installation (wubi) won't show up in windows vista's bootloader.. Can someone help me fix this?
[20:12] <bullgard4> Baughn: Thank you very much for your answers.
[20:12] <phorensic> mst__: Yah thats true.. a nice little bit of infohttp://lwn.net/Articles/89772/  Im still fairly new to ubuntu
[20:12] <AmaroKeN> besides, i don't think i will use ubuntu too much longer after this, i am a traitor, yes, but i prefer xp ;S
[20:12] <molgamus> Hi, i'm having trouble with my wireless chip, it doesn't find any networks. (Dell Latitute D610)
[20:13] <Baughn> magnusmagnus: Did you reinstall windows?
[20:13] <tom_eats_lives> i can't seem to complie any c files always get errors. do i need to install something ?
[20:13] <phorensic> AmaroKeN: Hey man different strokes for different folks
[20:13] <magnusmagnus> Well, I accidentally deleted the bootloader, then used vista's DVD to repair the damages
[20:13] <outoftime> hey all - anyone got a recommendation for a small, cheap machine that could comfortably run Ubuntu?
[20:13] <Baughn> tom_eats_lives: Yes. apt-get install build-essential.
[20:13] <phorensic> tom_eats_lives: sudo apt-get install build-essential ?
[20:13] <tsairox> Anyone know of a good command line tutorial for outputting .mp4 file from dvd.iso file?  I have googled with now luck so far
[20:14] <Baughn> magnusmagnus: And since vista has no knowledge of linux, it won't link to linux's bootloader.
[20:14] <maco> outoftime: this comes with ubuntu on it: http://www.zareason.com/shop/product.php?productid=16176&cat=0&page=1
[20:14] <bullgard4> outoftime: 'Small' and 'comfortably' contradict each other.
[20:14] <dayo> !alsa
[20:14] <tsairox> Ooops no luck so far.
[20:14] <maco> outoftime: ive had good experience with that company
[20:14] <maco> outoftime: or did you mean laptop?
[20:14] <tom_eats_lives> Baughn,  already had installed , still get errors.
[20:14] <Baughn> magnusmagnus: It's possible to repair, but with wubi it'll be rather hard.. Do you have any important data on your wubi setup?
[20:14] <outoftime> maco: thanks! nope, looking for a mini desktop
[20:14] <outoftime> bullgard4: i mean, we're basically talking about running a single browser window here, and that's it. could disable many services, etc.
[20:14] <AmaroKeN> well, i cba to learn since i'm gonna change OS, so could anyone help me with remote desktop?
[20:14] <magnusmagnus> Baughn kinda
[20:15] <tom_eats_lives> Baughn,  to complie its gcc file.c ?
[20:15] <dayo> !pulseaudio > dayo
[20:15] <tom_eats_lives> !c
[20:15] <Baughn> tom_eats_lives: I would suggest asking about that in #gcc.
[20:15] <Rave1_> bantu_ go to #puppylinux  I will help you with your question
[20:15] <Baughn> tom_eats_lives: Or ##c, I guess
[20:15] <magnusmagnus> But if I pop in the CD, and try to uninstall, it asks if I want to do a backup first.. Can I just do the backup, and reinstall it using the backup?
[20:15] <phorensic> Baughn: I always thought it was funny that windows even though it has been around way less than linux/unix doesn't acknowledge linux.. Of  course there are programs to do this but are they really that scared that they can't have the system come with these tools?
[20:15] <bullgard4> outoftime: The screen is one thing. The keyboard is another.
[20:15] <mst__> phorensic, cool article... yeah, i'm newish to ubuntu, but i migrated over from three to four years of debian use, followed by a brief stint with LFS, my philosophy changed one day to: "Hey, someone already put all the work of figuring out what packages make a system usable... lets just use their solution"
[20:16] <elops> Can you get iptables to log to its own log file?
[20:16] <molgamus> Could someone help me? My wireless card doesn't detect any networks (or my computer doesn't detect the card). What should i do?
[20:16] <Baughn> magnusmagnus: Well, what card do you have?
[20:16] <outoftime> bullgard4: screen would be a TV. keyboard would be el cheapo laser wireless of the sort that i have sitting in a pile next to me : )
[20:16] <tom_eats_lives> Baughn,  ok , always feel embarrassed asking in #c #gcc for something so easy =(
[20:16] <Baughn> magnusmagnus: And does networkmanager show a "wireless networks" header at all?
[20:16] <phorensic> mst__: You preferred not to re-invent the wheel so to speak.. not a bad choice... although Im sure you gained a lot of linux knowledge which comes in handy im sure by running those types of OS's
[20:17] <magnusmagnus> I think you're talking to the wrong guy, bauhgn
[20:17] <dayo> tom_eats_lives: that's what it's for. asking questions
[20:17] <Baughn> tom_eats_lives: Although you'd think you'd remember it after one or two askings
[20:17] <dayo> tom_eats_lives: everyone in there started small
[20:17] <bullgard4> outoftime: I see. So your requirements are special. --  I cannot help you.
[20:17] <pike_> molgamus: can you pastebin the following commands?  sudo lshw; sudo ifconfig -a; iwconfig
[20:17] <molgamus> ok
[20:17] <outoftime> bullgard4: thanks for following up on my question!
[20:18] <phorensic> hey pikey
[20:18] <Baughn> tom_eats_lives: You shouldn't feel embarrassed, though. Chances are it'll be answered by someone who is otherwise mostly there to ask questions, who will therefore feel better about it.
[20:18] <mst__> phorensic, yeah... LFS was sort of like the capstone for an operating systems course... I learned a lot from running it, and suggest that people who really want to learn about linux install it with virtualbox or vmware or something, but Ubuntu rocks -- even people who have never used linux before have no trouble sitting down at my box to do work

[20:19] <xDCDx> hello, I have a problem with ubuntu 6.06.1 2.6.15-52-amd64-server; I am exporting a folder NFS, mounting it with NFS works fine, but working it with NFS4 gives a "ls: reading directory /home: Input/output error" error when I try ls, but writing and reading actual files on the nfs work fine. I've been googling to no avail. Any clues?
[20:19] <zeno___> HELP! pulse is taking up 100 percent CPU and its superhot!
[20:19] <Baughn> zeno___: Kill pulse?
[20:19] <phorensic> mst__: One day I want to LFS but the community doesn't have that much support and I have a hard time interacting with docs
[20:19] <Baughn> ..that wasn't pulse. Oh well.
[20:20] <molgamus> http://paste.ubuntu.com/110442/
[20:20] <s0101> does anybody know how to configure Geforce 6100 on ubuntu 8.10
[20:20] <s0101> ?
[20:20] <Baughn> xDCDx: It's not really an answer, but I eventually got sufficiently fed up to switch to sshfs. NEver looked back. :P
[20:20] <phorensic> mst__: What host OS did you use to make yours?
[20:20] <xDCDx> I mean, mounting it with NFSv3 works fine, but mounting it with NFSv4 gives the input/output error when doing ls
[20:20] <homecable> s0101 that card sucks
[20:20] <homecable> get a new one
[20:20] <phorensic> s0101: restricted driver manager?
[20:21] <homecable> i tryed it and it was low fps
[20:21] <homecable> :P
[20:21] <s0101> i did a fresh install and after i avtivated the driver in the hardware conf it installed the latest version and after restart my screen goes black
[20:21] <mst__> phorensic, the LFS book is pretty good, just follow the instructions exactly (an extra slash here or there can f*ck you in the end) -- I used a minimal install of debian testing
[20:21] <xDCDx> Baughn: that may be a solution, but I am afraid performance might by a problem with sshfs
[20:21] <molgamus> http://paste.ubuntu.com/110443/
[20:21] <Baughn> xDCDx: In my experience, it manages "wire" speeds at least up to 210Mbit/s, eg. the full 802.11n capacity
[20:21] <s0101> i chosed the recomended version 177
[20:21] <Baughn> xDCDx: It does increase cpu usage, but..
[20:21] <mst__> phorensic, but if you just want to play with LFS you can download their live CD and use it with virtualbox
[20:21] <tsairox> kao: what should i do?
[20:22] <s0101> now i turned it back to low graph
[20:22] <phorensic> mst__: I see .. I need a 3rd pc that I can crash and test it.. and maybe a friend that wants to go through the experience with me.. you think it was worth the time?
[20:22] <Baughn> xDCDx: Well, that's the encryption. NFSv4 is also encrypted (if you're doing it right), so there's no real difference.
[20:22] <phorensic> mst__: Thats true
[20:22] <Baughn> xDCDx: Or you could wait for my thesis product. Should be just a year or so. :P
[20:22] <xDCDx> lol
[20:22] <molgamus> http://paste.ubuntu.com/110444/
[20:22] <xDCDx> Baughn: what happens when a sshfs goes down, and then goes up back after a while? Is data lost? I need a behaviour like the 'hard' option in NFS
[20:23] <Baughn> xDCDx: With -o reconnect, you get that
[20:23] <whitedox> Does avidemux have its own irc support channel?
[20:23] <phorensic> mst__: I think I have an older lfs disk around but I remember they docs were saying they were in between releases and the current one was funky so better to wait, I waited and then forgot about it
[20:23] <xDCDx> so processes are kept waiting until NFS is up again with sshfs?
[20:23] <homecable> s0101 http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=SFPC85GT256U2P&cpc=SCH
[20:23] <Baughn> Yes
[20:23] <Baughn> Unless you ctrl-c them
[20:23] <mst__> phorensic, you'll get a lot of "low level" knowledge about how linux is put together, what comprises a distribution, and in general become kind of a pro at configuring the GNU/Linux part of linux, you'll know where things like "ls" come from that we usually take for granted
[20:23] <homecable> thats the card i got it alot better
[20:23] <xDCDx> ummm, i could consider that then
[20:23] <Baughn> xDCDx: Of course, with the caveat that true consistency is impossible when the host (server) doesn't know about sshfs
[20:24] <Baughn> xDCDx: But that's the same as with nfs
[20:24] <mst__> phorensic, it wont help you much in just knowing how a distro like ubuntu works, since there's a ton of software between an LFS system and an ubuntu system
[20:24] <derspankster> anyone know of where I can get an ubuntu dome case badge?
[20:24] <homecable> http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=NVIDIA-8300GS-CO&cpc=SCH
[20:24] <homecable> i ment
[20:24] <phorensic> mst__: I wish someone would put together a comprehensive dvd to describe all this stuff and also with bash.. usually once I can conceptualize things (and since im a visual learner the dvd would help greatly) I can kick ass and chew bubblegum
[20:24] <homecable> http://www.geeks.com/products_sc.asp?cat=946
[20:24] <bantu_> #python
[20:25] <Baughn> xDCDx: (Mine is, of course, handling that better. Distributed FSs usually do. ;)
[20:25] <Medalgod> Hi all! On a Ubuntu live! disk i get no graphical environment. It seems to be outputting something that cannot be displayed by my monitor. Can anybody help me get an x environment? If it helps i have an ATi HD 3850 gfx card... help would be appreciated :)
[20:25] <s0101> are you trying to tell me that my graph card is screwed
[20:25] <xDCDx> I was switching from NFSv3 to NFSv4 due to strange slow downs and hang ups with mounts: my setup is like 10 nodes with data disks, all of them are servers and all of them mount all the other data disks
[20:25] <mst__> phorensic, but you'r all out of gum?
[20:25] <Baughn> xDCDx: ...cool. Can I have a copy?
[20:25] <s0101> i have a integrated motherboard+graphcard
[20:25] <phorensic> mst__: But knowing the structure of the filesystem and learning to use the shell more would be a tremendous help
[20:25] <bantu_> Baughn how long have you been using Linux
[20:25] <Baughn> xDCDx: Er. I mean, sshfs has never shown any such issues for me.
[20:26] <phorensic> mst__: No Im using the new last for ever gum, I've had one piece for the last  5 years
[20:26] <s0101> why can i use 8.04 hardy heron with no problems at al?
[20:26] <Baughn> bantu_: Eh? Oh.. hmm, fourteen years now
[20:26] <xDCDx> it just pisses me off that i spent the whole afternoon migrating to NFSv4 for nothing :P
[20:26] <xDCDx> now I have to spend another afternoon learning and migrating to sshfs...
[20:26] <phorensic> s0101: There could possibly always be a problem somewhere
[20:26] <mst__> phorensic, watch out or a giant horned animal will attack you vis. the stride commercials -- nasty stuff
[20:26] <Baughn> xDCDx: Nah, more like half an hour
[20:26] <ubuntuuser234234> anyone know how to keep my speaker volume from resetting to 0 on restart?
[20:26] <phorensic> mst__: haaha I'll be on guard thanks for the warning!
[20:27] <s0101> iam getting headache
[20:27] <Baughn> xDCDx: If performance is critical, NFSv3 /is/ faster (unless you get mysterious slowdowns)
[20:27] <phorensic> s0101: did you try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[20:27] <MikyMouse> Is there anyway to disable compiz but keep the sadows..? with compiz I really get sometimes weir behaivours with the text in the windows (it get screwd up while scrolling)
[20:27] <Baughn> xDCDx: Though you might be able to set null encryption on ssh
[20:27] <s0101> yes thats how i could change back to low graph
[20:27] <ugliefrog> how do i fix my mouse going to sleep...my mouse goes to sleep after a few minutes ..have to clik it a bunch to get it going
[20:27] <Baughn> MikyMouse: Not really, no.
[20:27] <bantu_> Baughn I feel like a bug now!
[20:28] <phorensic> s0101: And you upgraded before you installed the new nvidia restricted drivers?
[20:28] <xDCDx> Baughn: thanks for the info, but the misterious slow downs were really annoying :-)
[20:28] <s0101> i did a full system upgrade
[20:28] <mst__> phorensic, best of luck... i got to run, but I'd say its worth installing LFS to in VirtualBox, espicially since there is a lot of time you wait while things compile -- you'll be able to get stuff done while you do LFS on the side
[20:28] <s0101> from a fresh install
[20:28] <MikyMouse> Baughn, so it is only possible to have shadows with compiz???
[20:28] <Baughn> MikyMouse: Shadows in the "darken the next window under" sense requires compositing, which is what compiz does.. it's not really compiz' fault, as the problems are due to DRI1 being over-extended
[20:28] <phorensic> mst__: Cool thanks bro ttyl
[20:28] <mst__> phorensic, adios
[20:29] <Baughn> MikyMouse: Lots of other window managers bake shadows into the window decorations, but those just look the same regardless of other windows
[20:29] <bantu_> I have tried reading the chroot man page, but I can't get what its used for...
[20:29] <Baughn> MikyMouse: One option is to wait. DRI2 will eventually fix this.
[20:29] <Baughn> MikyMouse: Another is to switch to an nvidia gpu, as they've hacked around the issues. Mostly.
[20:29] <s0101> i have options to activate driver 173. 96 or 177 (recomended)
[20:29] <MikyMouse> Baughn, well actually I have a NVIDIA GPU
[20:29] <phorensic> s0101: I would suggest removing the nvidia drivers and try reinstalling them.. if it still doesn't work after that, you should probably just use the open source "nv" driver
[20:30] <Baughn> s0101: On a 6000-series card?
[20:30] <clooluss> hi all. I'm having trouble with network manager. Are there are text files I can tweak to try to fix it?
[20:30] <phorensic> s0101: use the recommended driver
[20:30] <s0101> 6100
[20:30] <MikyMouse> Baughn, but I have to put the Visual Effects to NONE otherwise I get sometimes annoying efects on the text when scrolling
[20:30] <Baughn> s0101: Hang on, let me check
[20:30] <phorensic> s0101: but i do think that it could be time for a new card?
[20:30] <Baughn> MikyMouse: Unavoidable. Sorry.
[20:30] <MikyMouse> Baughn, ...mybe time to switch to KDE since I don't have problems there
[20:30] <Baughn> s0101: Yes, the newest driver should work for a 6100.
[20:30] <s0101> i found a thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1039450 but i am a bit ubuntu green
[20:31] <per> Hello "Ubuntu" folks! Why why doesnt "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh locales" give any questions??? (I cant recall giving any options while installing ubuntu, crap
[20:31] <per> Any ideer???
[20:31] <molgamus> could someone please walk me through how to set up my wireless card on my dell latitude?
[20:31] <phorensic> MikyMouse: nothing wrong with using kde
[20:31] <Baughn> MikyMouse: Er, yeah, because KDE ships with those effects off
[20:31] <s0101> but i tried with the newest and the screen went black after restart and i had to set it back to low graph from terminal
[20:31] <MikyMouse> Baughn, actually I tried KDE with shadows and no problem
[20:31] <MikyMouse> Baughn, but I like more GNOME
[20:31] <Baughn> s0101: But seriously, it's time to upgrade
[20:32] <Medalgod> per, do it without the -phigh options
[20:32] <Baughn> MikyMouse: Well, are they the sort of shadows where the shadow actually lets the windows below shine through?
[20:32] <clooluss> network manager keeps trying to connect to a AP that no longer exists! How can I purge this old reference?
[20:32] <per> Medalgod: Same thing
[20:32] <phorensic> s0101: I know, maybe something went wrong.. its happened to me before.. just give it a try make sure you update and upgrade again before you do it
[20:32] <Medalgod> no idea then :p
[20:32] <Baughn> clooluss: Right-click on it, pick edit
[20:32] <s0101> this is just my favorite crap computer i normaly use a laptop but i just want it to work nice and smooth like 8.04
[20:33] <Rezzie> Is it possible to log how much traffic is transferred through an SSH session?
[20:33] <s0101> you mean do a system update before?
[20:33] <Medalgod> anyone help on getting an x environment on the live disk?
[20:33] <clooluss> Baughn: There is no Edit option if I right click: "Enable networking" and "enable wireless", Connection info and about
[20:33] <per> I will install good old Debian (Ubuntu is too slick
[20:33] <phorensic> s0101: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[20:33] <Baughn> Rezzie: A particular connection, as in from the command line?
[20:33] <Medalgod> per: good man :p
[20:33] <Baughn> clooluss: Odd. 8.04?
[20:33] <MikyMouse> Baughn, and it is specialy annoying with PUTTY since half of the window doesn't redraw
[20:33] <s0101> those to options before i activate and install the driver
[20:33] <Baughn> clooluss: There is one in 8.10, at least
[20:34] <Baughn> clooluss: If you don't mind re-entering all the networks you want to use, you can just delete the config directory. That's.. let's see...
[20:34] <Rezzie> Baughn: Yes, I'm logging into an SSH session via the terminal and using it to tunnel web traffic, though I'd like to know how much data has been sent/received.
[20:34] <bantu_> whats the python channel?
[20:34] <clooluss> baughn: No, Gutsy I think. HOw do I check.
[20:34] <Pici> bantu_: #python surprisingly

[20:34] <Baughn> clooluss: "rm -r ~/.gconf/system/networking/connections" in a terminal will wipe it

[20:35] <bantu_> pici LOOOOL!!!
[20:35] <s0101> system is fully upgraded and updated
[20:35] <sweetgum> guys i have a major ubuntu problem, my login screen shows properly and when i log in all i see is a bunch of blurred patterns. ubuntu was working just fine up until this morning, anyone have any suggestions/ideas?
[20:35] <Medalgod> Jack_Sparrow:  i'm not asking how to make a disk with one... x
[20:35] <s0101> it was that before as well
[20:35] <Medalgod> dont detect my monitor correctly and sends a picture my monitor cant display
[20:35] <bantu_> thanks pici.
[20:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Medalgod what was your question again?
[20:35] <Baughn> Rezzie: Sorry, I don't know of anything accurate. It would be a neat little hack, though; you could hook the read/write syscalls to count bytes transferred over a network connection, even where to...
[20:36] <Baughn> Rezzie: Oh, but iptraf has a per-connection list. It just isn't as handy.
[20:36] <Medalgod> "(20:25:01) Medalgod: Hi all! On a Ubuntu live! disk i get no graphical environment. It seems to be outputting something that cannot be displayed by my monitor. Can anybody help me get an x environment? If it helps i have an ATi HD 3850 gfx card... help would be appreciated :)"
[20:36] <Rezzie> Baugn: Sound a bit too involved, but thanks for the hints :)
[20:36] <Baughn> sweetgum: Reboot, select failsafe from the grub menu
[20:36] <phorensic> s0101: Ok fine.. just try a reinstall, if that doesn't work, besides editing the config by hand to try and get it to work, I'd suggest using the "nv" driver
[20:36] <clooluss> baughN; Thanks, that's pointed me in the right direction. THe dir structure is slightly different, but I found a folder named after the offending AP. Delted it, will reboot and see what happens.
[20:36] <sweetgum> Baughn: alright ill try that, brb (ubuntu is on this computer)
[20:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Medalgod ctrl-alt F2
[20:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Medalgod ctrl-alt F7 to get out
[20:37] <MikyMouse> Well, so, IS THERE any alternative to Compiz to give to our Gnomes a look better than a plain and sady screen?
[20:37] <InTrUsIoN> • CiAo A TuTTi DeL ChAn  #ubuntu  By InTrUsIoN •
[20:37] <Medalgod> Jack_Sparrow: i know how to get a headless env... i want to fire up the x env
[20:37] <Baughn> MikyMouse: You can buy an nvidia card
[20:37] <Medalgod> the settings are wrong (by default)
[20:37] <phorensic> Baughn: ahahah
[20:38] <Baughn> MikyMouse: Or switch to a WM where shadows just aren't an issue, like xmonad ;)
[20:38] <MikyMouse> Baughn, I already told you that I am currently using an NVIDA card
[20:38] <Baughn> MikyMouse: Oh, you did? Hum.
[20:38]  * Baughn shrugs
[20:38] <MikyMouse> Baughn, with the latest drivers from the repositories
[20:38] <s0101> how do i install nv driver ? and what do i do if i need to put it back in low graph with that driver?
[20:40] <DrkShadow> I'm trying to install lzma, sudo apt-get install lzma, but I get: "Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?". I've done, apt-get update, and, apt-get update --fix-missing, but I still get the same error.
[20:40] <codeshah> weird, i am trying to install a deb package but says wrong architecture i386! how can I chekc what architecture is installed?
[20:40] <phorensic> s0101: the nv driver should already be there you just have to edit the config file and replace the word "nvidia" with "nv" under i think the screen section. To try to correct the issue if the driver install doesn't work the sudo dpgk-reconfigure xserver-xorg is that you did last time..
[20:40] <clooluss> THanks baughn, that is much better.
[20:40] <MikyMouse> Baughn, GeForce 8400M GS running on 177.82 drivers
[20:40] <codeshah> trying to install flash
[20:41] <s0101> just a supid question how do i open the config file?
[20:41] <Perogies> I resized my ubuntu partition, and now the grub wont show at boot up
[20:41] <Baughn> MikyMouse: Sorry, then, can't help. I don't go for eyecandy myself, and the nvidia drivers /do/ have problems with compiz.
[20:41] <Baughn> Just less than most others.
[20:41] <Jack_Sparrow> !uuid > Perogies
[20:41] <phorensic> s0101: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[20:42] <Perogies> uuid eh? I will check into that, thanks
[20:42] <sweetgum> Baughn: I dont have a failsafe option in grub theres only recovery and memtest, i tried running the recover x from recovery btu i still have the same problem. any other ideas?
[20:42] <MikyMouse> Baughn, ok, thanks, I like the balance; Functionallity + Style
[20:42] <maco> codeshah: youre probably on 64bit then
[20:42] <Medalgod> ive managed to fire it up... for future reference (and anyone on the live! team... the disk doesn't boot r5xx & r6xx gpu's... u need to do a sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd pain to figure out but meh
[20:42] <phorensic> s0101: you can use nano in the console, if you are in gui you can use gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf  or any other text alternative (vi, vim, etc,etc)
[20:42] <codeshah> maco, hmm, weird... any way to chck?
[20:42] <maco> codeshah: there's an alpha of flash 10 available for 64bit
[20:42] <maco> codeshah: uname -a
[20:43] <codeshah> maco, yeah u are right... dang, should I have to uninstall and install the 34 bit version? I used wubi
[20:43] <maco> codeshah: 32bit you mean? ;)
[20:43] <s0101> just have a quick look http://pastebin.com/m674b0a48
[20:43] <jcapinc> hello, is there a channel for apache/ubuntu server questions?  Im a developer and I need to run PHP in files with a .htm/.html extension type
[20:43] <codeshah> maco, lol, yeah 32bit of ubuntu
[20:43] <maco> codeshah: you should be able to install it with nspluginwrapper. if you just use the flash from the repositories instead of going to adobe's site itll do it automatically
[20:43] <phorensic> jcapinc: doesn't that happen automagically?
[20:43] <maco> codeshah: or you can use the alpha flash 10 on 64bit natively
[20:43] <clooluss> Oops... I just deleted my network manager and power icons from my panel in gutsy. How do I get them back?
[20:43] <homecable> can i dcc send someone i need to test my dcc
[20:44] <maco> clooluss: you just removed the notification area. just right click and go to add to panel
[20:44] <jcapinc> phorensic, unfortunatelly it doesnt, the filenames are required to be .php or .phtml
[20:44] <phorensic> clooluss: I think it is the add to panel (by right clicking) and then notification area
[20:44] <s0101> http://pastebin.com/m196e2744 this is all of it
[20:45] <sweetgum> ive just encountered a graphical problem in ubuntu, the login screen works fine but after i login the visual is something my monitor can not display / an invalid visual. can someone please help me to get this working i need to use Ubuntu ASAP
[20:45] <MikyMouse> exit
[20:45] <s0101> what does it mean by configured monitor?
[20:45] <phorensic> jcapinc: i thought you can just do like a <?php yadda yada .. .> and it will be paresed by php
[20:45] <MikyMouse> wvm??
[20:45] <s0101> i cant se nividia
[20:45] <phorensic> s0101: which monitor you have settings configured for
[20:45] <phorensic> s0101: lemme look
[20:45] <maco> phorensic: you need to tell apache which file types to execute
[20:45] <DrkShadow> Can someone help me install lzma? I'm getting "Unable to fetch some archives"
[20:46] <clooluss> phorensic: THanks, that got the power icon back. What about the NM one?
[20:46] <maco> DrkShadow: does it tell you which ones? and are you able to run "apt-get update" with no problems?
[20:46] <maco> clooluss: alt+f2 and run "nm-applet"
[20:46] <DrkShadow> apt-get update runs, but with errors (Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com feisty/main Packages -- 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.31 80] -- few more relating to feisty)
[20:46] <whitedox> How do you enable animation in gimp?
[20:47] <maco> DrkShadow: uh thatd be because feisty's gone
[20:47] <sheldonh_> been googling to try get my iwl3945-based wlan card to see my home network (sometimes i see a random neighbour, sometimes none). is there hope?
[20:47] <DrkShadow> maco: so what am I supposed to do?
[20:47] <clooluss> cool maco, thanks
[20:47] <maco> DrkShadow: all of the feisty repos have been emptied out. upgrade to something that's supported.
[20:47] <ezerhoden> sheldonh_: i have the same card, no problems here
[20:47] <DrkShadow> apparently it's still on my system.
[20:47] <DrkShadow> heh..
[20:47] <s0101> not sure i havent chanched anything the only thing i have done since install is trying ti install driver 177 and then put it back in low graph
[20:47] <molgamus> need help to configure dell latitude d610 to work in my wireless network, my mac's and pc's is very easy to set up but my ubuntu doesn't even find any networks
[20:47] <sheldonh_> ezerhoden: ubuntu 8.10 with 2.6.27-9-generic?
[20:48] <ezerhoden> yes
[20:48] <maco> DrkShadow: i recommend installing 8.04 because gutsy will reach end of life in 3 months.
[20:48] <sheldonh_> ezerhoden: 3945ABG?
[20:48] <DrkShadow> I'm gonna do a backup of this system before I do that..
[20:48] <phorensic> s0101: try gksudo nvidia-settings
[20:48] <ezerhoden> sheldonh_: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)
[20:48] <sheldonh_> ezerhoden: dang. you in the usa?
[20:49]  * DrkShadow suddenly feels that ubuntu should not be used in a business setting
[20:49] <maco> DrkShadow: in a business setting, id say just use the long term support releases
[20:49] <cp> using openssl from command line is there a way to get the output decrypting with wrong password?
[20:49] <ezerhoden> sheldonh_: yes, why?
[20:49] <DrkShadow> maco: I'd agree with that.. damn predecessors.
[20:49] <sweetgum> anyone that can help me available?
[20:49] <maco> DrkShadow: regular releases are supported for 18 months. the long term releases are supported for 3 years on desktop and 5 years on server
[20:49] <jcapinc> so does anyone know of an apache channel?
[20:49] <s0101> a pop up says You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file
[20:49] <sheldonh_> ezerhoden: might be a regional thing. i noticed it configured for us, whereas on debian sid (where it works), it was za
[20:49] <Pici> jcapinc: #apache
[20:49] <s0101> thats prob because i am using low graph
[20:49] <maco> DrkShadow: er, there was a LTS release before feisty. it's dapper. though its end of life is this june
[20:49] <sheldonh_> ezerhoden: so maybe i've just forgotten about something i tweaked somewhere
[20:49] <ljungk> hi, what is the standard file extension for man pages? and how do I tell man where to look for the man pages for a certain program?
[20:50] <foobrew> is there an easy way to restart compiz?
[20:50] <maco> ljungk: no file extension
[20:50] <maco> foobrew: compiz --replace
[20:50] <maco> foobrew: you can just do it in a alt+f2 runbox
[20:50] <DrkShadow> does EoL mean they remove the repositories and everything, or just no more updates?
[20:50] <phorensic> !paste
[20:50] <maco> DrkShadow: at first, no updates of any sort (including security updates). a few months later, the repos are emptied.
[20:50] <molgamus> i need my wireless network to work, help me please
[20:51] <s0101> only box that isnt ticked is "include x display names in the config file"
[20:51] <foobrew> thanks maco..worked great
[20:51] <phorensic> s0101: look at my config file then look at yours: http://paste.ubuntu.com/110456/
[20:51] <maco> DrkShadow: the updates repo stays up with a single package in it: the hints for update-manager to be able to upgrade you to the new version
[20:51] <DrkShadow> so I'd have to download the entire repository to feel safe ;-)
[20:51] <maco> DrkShadow: well i wouldnt want to run without security updates available...
[20:51] <DrkShadow> internal servers.. doesn't bother me at this point.
[20:52] <powerpan> hi i had installed amarok2 but now there is no sound
[20:52] <maco> DrkShadow: every 2 years, a new LTS release comes out. that gives you a year of transition time between release and end of life
[20:52] <jonstetler> what does wine-gecko do?
[20:52] <s0101> i see, when i look at resolution settings it says that my screen is unknown
[20:52] <maco> powerpan: in ubuntu or kubuntu?
[20:52] <powerpan> ubuntu
[20:52] <whitedox> how do you make the gnome image viewer play gif's? Mine only displays the first frame.
[20:53] <maco> whitedox: i think you have to just open the image in firefox....
[20:53] <ljungk> maco: ok, but what about my other question? I have a man page in the path /usr/local/man/ (which seems to be in my manpath), but it won't get found
[20:53] <Louis> I have transmission set to autostart when I log in (via Sessions) with the "transmission %F" command... is there a way to get it to start minimized to the tray?
[20:53] <maco> powerpan: play around and see if there's a way to make it speak alsa, because kde apps use phonon and if youre running ubuntu, not kubuntu, phonon's probably not running
[20:53] <s0101> what should i do in nvidia x server settings?
[20:53] <sheldonh_> ezerhoden: thanks, that's been helpful. means i should hack on. if you have a moment, i'd love to see your: dmesg | grep iwl3945.*Linux
[20:53] <phorensic> s0101: right... i think you should try reinstalling the nvidia driveers again.. if your screen goes black we will try to help fix that
[20:53] <powerpan> the timeline is standig
[20:54] <powerpan> i klick on play
[20:54] <powerpan> but the zimeline don't start
[20:54] <phorensic> s0101: right now you are not using nvidia to manage your screens so close out of it
[20:54] <maco> ljungk: er...man path? i dont have an environment variable for that...
[20:54] <ezerhoden> sheldonh_: sure, give a second
[20:54] <s0101> i give it a go then brb
[20:54] <iPeter-> Hey, where i can find the starters wiki tutorial, to get everything what i need, example.. windows fonts..
[20:55] <ljungk> well, the command 'manpath' returns, among others, /usr/local/man

[20:55] <sheldonh_> ezerhoden: okay, so it's gotta come down to a regional quirk
[20:55] <sheldonh_> ezerhoden: thanks, i'll see if i can remember how to zone the thing correctly
[20:55] <Rencx> how to delete folder from desktop?
[20:56] <whitedox> maco: Thanks. That will work for what I am needing to view GIF's for anyways.
[20:56] <ljungk> so basically, it should look at the right place.
[20:56] <maco> Rencx: right-click and send to trash?
[20:56] <ezerhoden> sheldonh_: if you get it sorted, let me know what the problem was
[20:56] <powerpan> i can't find a away ti change to alsa
[20:56] <Karti> Hi all......quick question - is Beagle still the recommended overall search system for Ubuntu?

[20:57] <Rencx> maco:  before i use shift+delete
[20:57] <maco> Rencx: wait is this a file owned by root rather than owned by you?
[20:57] <Karti> peleg: Many thanks ;)
[20:57] <perhamlinux> hi guys.
[20:57] <mcmoher59> hi all
[20:58] <perhamlinux> in ubuntu, how can I check if my wireless usb adaptor is recognized or not?
[20:58] <Rencx> its driver for windows for camera from drivers cd
[20:58] <maco> Rencx: if so, "sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/*" and do *not* add any extra spaces in there anywhere!
[20:59] <Thurin1> perhamlinux: dmeg
[20:59] <ezerhoden> perhamlinux: check dmesg after inserting
[20:59] <Thurin1> dmesg* even
[20:59] <maco> Rencx: that would empty your Trash of everything in it
[20:59] <maco> Rencx: but if you add any extra spaces in the middle of that, you could really hurt things, so copy that exactly
[20:59] <^Zew^> Does anyone know how I could get a shell script to run at boot?
[21:00] <perhamlinux> ezerhoden, Thurin1: what should I look for?
[21:00] <mcmoher59> i want to have 2 os in my computer xD
[21:00] <Rencx> maco: ok ty it worked ;)
[21:00] <maco> ^Zew^: at boot or at login?
[21:00] <mcmoher59> at boot
[21:00] <^Zew^> boot
[21:00] <mcmoher59> yep
[21:00] <sweetgum>  ive just encountered a graphical problem in ubuntu, the login screen works fine but after i login the visual is something my monitor can not display / an invalid visual. can someone please help me to get this working i need to use Ubuntu ASAP
[21:01] <mcmoher59> install driviers
[21:01] <maco> ^Zew^: put the script in /etc/init.d and then symlink to it from /etc/rcS.d/
[21:01] <guntbert> perhamlinux: try lspci | grep -i wireless
[21:01] <ubuntuuser234234> anyone know how to keep my speaker volume from resetting to 0 on restart?
[21:01] <ubuntuuser234234> I am using alsa

[21:02] <ubuntuuser234234> 8.10
[21:02] <^Zew^> maco is there a webpage I could goto?
[21:02] <sheldonh_> ezerhoden: looks like two separate problems. 2.6.27 breaks support in iwl3945 for channels >11 (i was using 13), and you need to specify regional settings with a cfg80211 bootparam

[21:02] <ezerhoden> sheldonh_: ahh
[21:02] <ubuntuuser234234> had to sudo it, is that usual?
[21:02] <sheldonh_> ezerhoden: brb, gonna test
[21:03] <perhamlinux> guntbert: btw, it's usb
[21:03] <s0101> hi guys i am back again
[21:03] <s0101> same problem
[21:03] <Rencx> i have problem to see long letters in some programs what i have to do?
[21:03] <maco> ^Zew^: you *could* just put the script in /etc/rcS.d/ but last time i said that someone pointed out that it's not really the "right" way
[21:03] <ubuntuuser234234> ezerhoden, had to sudo it, is that usual?
[21:03] <s0101> i installed the 177 driver and my screen went black after restart
[21:03] <maco> ubuntuuser234234: yes, thats normal
[21:03] <maco> ubuntuuser234234: also whats the output of "which alsactl"?

[21:04] <ubuntuuser234234> /sbin/alsactl
[21:04] <Rencx> maco: whad this "sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant" comand do?
[21:04] <guntbert> perhamlinux: those lines don't tell *me* anything, but you can try lsusb | grep -i wireless   too
[21:04] <maco> ubuntuuser234234: and the file /etc/init.d/alsa-utils exists, right?
[21:04] <ubuntuuser234234> yep
[21:04] <maco> Rencx: it installs a package called wpasupplicant...which i'm 99% sure is installed by default
[21:04] <^Zew^> maco Im trying to run a auto restore of a XP partion with not need for any input form the end user
[21:05] <sheldonh_> ezerhoden: confirmed. didn't have to play with the regdom, just changing channel was enough. how do i nominate this for inclusion in the release errata?
[21:05] <s0101> i am ack at square 1 again
[21:05] <Rencx> maco: and if it is instaled i have deleted it
[21:05] <phorensic> s0101: is it crashing or giving you text at all?
[21:05] <maco> Rencx: removing wpasupplicant would remove a LOT of other things...like network-manager...
[21:06] <Rencx> maco:  can i fix is it installed?

[21:09] <The_Joe_> mavsman4457, Yes - sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[21:09] <The_Joe_> DO NOT apt-grt
[21:09] <The_Joe_> * apt-get
[21:09] <s0101> http://pastebin.com/m133f600e
[21:09] <phorensic> s0101: maybe you can copy it to a thumb drive?
[21:09] <ubuntuuser234234> The_Joe_, why? Didn't realize there would be much of a difference.
[21:09] <ezerhoden> The_Joe_: this is a built-in mic? and you have it unmuted ?
[21:10] <s0101> which one?
[21:10] <The_Joe_> ezerhoden, No it's not built in, I'm on a desktop
[21:10] <maco> Rencx: what? you use wpasupplicant manually, and now the package has been mysteriously deleted
[21:10] <maco> Rencx: ?
[21:10] <The_Joe_> ezerhoden, I have Capture 1 and Capture unmuted as well as "Microphone" and "Front Mic"
[21:10] <Rencx> maco: i did this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/enable-wpa-wireless-access-point-in-ubuntu.html
[21:11] <phorensic> s0101: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:11] <ubuntuuser234234> Rencx, oh God that is old
[21:11] <s0101> why t a thumb drive?
[21:11] <maco> ubuntuuser234234: after you do "sudo alsactl store" can you do "echo $?"
[21:11] <ljungk> still no one that knows about how to get man to find its files??
[21:12] <maco> Rencx: holy crap those directions are ANCIENT
[21:12] <Rencx> ubuntuuser234234, maco: but now my wireles working
[21:13] <maco> Rencx: you dont need to work with the wpasupplicant file manually at all. i dont even know how to do that. just use the network manager icon at the top of the screen. pick the network you want, and itll ask in a nice little graphical box for the key
[21:13] <ubuntuuser234234> maco, what does that do?
[21:13] <maco> ubuntuuser234234: if it gives a 0, that means "it claims to have worked"
[21:13] <phorensic> s0101: well if you can paste it here thats fine too but i guess you already went back to low graphics mode then?
[21:13] <Rencx> ubuntuuser234234, maco: can i rool back somhow
[21:13] <chazco> Hi... how can I remote control my netbook from my desktop (both Ubuntu)... need to run Inkscape but the netbook resolution is too low
[21:13] <ubuntuuser234234> Rencx, that is after you undo why you did following a document from 3 years ago
[21:13] <guntbert> ljungk: my man never had any problems..., did you read man manpath?
[21:14] <s0101> yes iam back in low graph
[21:14] <ubuntuuser234234> maco, ok, it gave a 0.
[21:14] <grayhane> I just got a nvidia card for the system but cannot get it working,
[21:14] <sweetgum>  ive just encountered a graphical problem in ubuntu, the login screen works fine but after i login the visual is something my monitor can not display / an invalid visual. can someone please help me to get this working i need to use Ubuntu ASAP
[21:14] <ljungk> guntbert: yeah, and it seems to be correctly configured. /usr/local/man is in the path, which is the place where i put the file
[21:14] <s0101> if i activate the driver it says to restart the computer do you mean that i should activate and then check the file and copy before restart?
[21:15] <The_Joe_> Ehh anyone?
[21:15] <ubuntuuser234234> I think this is one of the biggest problems with ubuntu outdated how-to's leading people to screw up their system
[21:15] <maco> Rencx: wow that was written in edgy? that wasnt even necessary in dapper... anyway, you dont need /etc/default/wpasupplicant at all
[21:15] <Rencx> ubuntuuser234234: ?
[21:15] <guntbert> chazco: use ssh with the -X (that tunnels X through) ssh
[21:15] <Rencx> maco: i will delete wpasupplicant..?
[21:15] <maco> Rencx: just that file. keep the package.
[21:16] <chazco> guntbert - I've considered that... i take it the apps act exactly as if they were on the netbook (ie, filesystems available)
[21:16] <maco> ubuntuuser234234: ok so its saying it can write to the asound.state just fine... can you do "sudo alsa force-reload" and then pastebin the asound.state again?
[21:16] <X-Seti> Got little problem with ubuntu for anyone who has had the same issue, when I boot up and login I get ISD server error that seems to open the ica process, Every time I boot up now and login I have one more extra window to close, 21 error windows now?
[21:16] <phorensic> s0101: after you activate the driver restart and then paste the file
[21:16] <_aee_> hello, i got a CD from Ubuntu ship-it program and installed it. now i'm not able to use programs like PHP, mysql, GCC etc.
[21:16] <guntbert> ljungk: I didn't follow, so please tell me your problem again
[21:16] <Rencx> maco: sudo rm /etc/default/wpasupplicant
[21:17] <MTecknology> How can I make hidden directories not show up with <tab><tab> ?
[21:17] <ubuntuuser234234> ok, let me quit some stuff first
[21:17] <vigo> _aee_: are they installed yet?
[21:17] <guntbert> chazco: yes, at first try xeyes (just for fun and to it works)
[21:17] <maco> Rencx: yeah
[21:17]  * The_Joe_ is now frustrated
[21:17] <guntbert> *and to see it works
[21:17] <ljungk> guntbert: i have a manpage, spim.man, that i want man to find when i do 'man spim'. since /usr/local/man seems to be the place to put user man pages, I put it there.
[21:17] <chazco> guntbert - Are there any major security risks with using SSH? The netbook is often connected to public networks (i'll not be using SSH through them, but i asume it will still be running)
[21:17] <s0101> ok
[21:18] <Rencx> maco: ty :)
[21:18] <ubuntuuser234234> http://paste2.org/p/137014
[21:18] <yo_momma> Is there a good video card that I can get the just WORKS with 8.10?
[21:18] <maco> ljungk: um looking in /usr/man...
[21:18] <_aee_> vigo: i don't know. actually, are they included in std. distros of Ubuntu. (I got only one CD)
[21:19] <yo_momma> something i don't have to configure or anything?
[21:19] <ubuntuuser234234> yo_momma, depends on what you mean by "just works"
[21:19] <maco> ljungk: you need to add a directory for what man seciton it is (man1, man2, etc)
[21:19] <mneptok> chazco: there are always securioty risks in running daemons that accept non-local connections. but the risks with SSH are few, and you could always stop the daemon when you're not using it.
[21:19] <chazco> mneptok - Thanks :0
[21:19] <ubuntuuser234234> yo_momma, most will work fine, but there are no 3d drivers for them or they have very limited drivers etc
[21:19] <chazco> mneptok - Thanks :) even
[21:19] <phorensic> yo_momma: Im using the geforce 9800GT it works perfectly
[21:19] <_aee_> vigo: how can i see all installed programs in Ubuntu? (I'm new to both linux & Ubuntu)
[21:19] <ubuntuuser234234> yo_momma, so though they will work, they won't work as good as they could.
[21:19] <yo_momma> I have a via chrome9 intergrated graphics and i can't get the 3d acceleration  to work on it
[21:19] <maco> ljungk: and it appears the manpage should be gzipped
[21:19] <ljungk> guntbert: ok, and then just the file in there with the same name as the program? what about file extension?
[21:20] <Rencx> maco: do you have more time, to help me i have some questions?
[21:20] <vigo> _aee_: They may not be actually installed on the CD, I would check Synaptic to see if they are, and or if any dependencies  are needed.
[21:20] <yo_momma> I just want something that I can play graphic intense games
[21:20] <maco> ubuntuuser234234: and pastebin "amixer -c0"
[21:21] <guntbert> ljungk: I didn't do anything with manpages (except read them) yet :), but I seem to remember something like groff or so, and a cache...
[21:21] <gulderen> xxxx
[21:21] <maco> ubuntuuser234234: your asound.state looks like it didnt revert to a bunch of 0s...
[21:21] <yo_momma> I had a nvidia 5500 and could never get that one to work
[21:21] <gulderen> sgds
[21:21] <gulderen> hi
[21:21] <mneptok> yo_momma: graphic intense games in Linux? really?
[21:21] <vigo> _aee_ : I am returning to Ubuntu after a long sail, so I am a bit slow on it still myself.
[21:22] <The_Joe_> Thank you very much...
[21:22] <yo_momma> I installed the newest version of openchrome and went to the via website and got their driver and neither worked
[21:22] <yo_momma> well, i guess better than aisle riot or something
[21:22] <Rencx> maco: why my Keyring shows up when i start my pc and want Auto join wireless network?
[21:23] <yo_momma> like some fps games like alien arena or open arena
[21:23] <ubuntuuser234234> maco, can't decide if that is good or bad
[21:23] <ubuntuuser234234> maco, If it did I would at least have an idea of what is causing this
[21:23] <maco> Rencx: do you have it set to auto-login?
[21:23] <ljungk> guntbert, maco: making a .gz in a man1 solved it. thank you for your help!
[21:24] <chetnick> hi, does anybody know what is that web browser, it says mozilla but it is not firefox. I think i saw it on backtrack.
[21:24] <Rencx> maco:  yes
[21:24] <yo_momma> i can't get 3d acceleration to work with my via chrome9 cipset and would like to
[21:24] <maco> chetnick: seamonkey?
[21:24] <vigo> chetnick: SeaMonkey?
[21:24] <drumstyk1> would anyone be willing to help me with my fstab or permissions? It says I don't have privileges to mount one of my drives.
[21:24] <yo_momma> with only 2d, its very slow
[21:25] <maco> Rencx: you have to unlock the keyring somehow. if you use the login screen, it gets unlocked when you enter the login password. if you dont enter the password at the login screen, then you have to manually unlock the keyring
[21:25] <chetnick> maco: vigo: i found that one, but it says it is "all-in-one application formerly known as the "Mozilla Application Suite"
[21:25] <drumstyk1> this is my fstab entry: /dev/sda3 /media/disk vfat default 0 0
[21:25] <chetnick> i will try it
[21:25] <maco> chetnick: right. remember Mozilla was a browser and it had an html editor and a mail client built in?
[21:25] <maco> chetnick: that became Seamonkey
[21:25] <chetnick> ok, thanks guys :D
[21:26] <phorensic> drumstyk1: you don't have to use uuid ???
[21:26] <Rencx> maco: do you now how to unlock it
[21:26] <maco> Rencx: by entering your password when it asks
[21:26] <drumstyk1> phorensic: i'm sorry, not sure what uuid is...
[21:26] <mitchell> hello
[21:26] <vigo> chetchick: Thunderbird might be what you are looking for,,it is the e.mail by Mozilla,,,very good one also.
[21:26] <ljungk> guntbert, maco: FYI, actually it was NOT a .gz. it was supposed to have the '.1' ending.
[21:26] <s0101> hi again i installed driver 96 and my computer restarted but it is a bit slow
[21:26] <phorensic> drumstyk1: sort of like the serial number of your drive
[21:27] <regeya> !uuid
[21:27] <chetnick> vigo: Thunderbird is email clinet not browser?
[21:27] <maco> ljungk: in man1 it's .1.gz, in man3, it's .3.gz
[21:27] <maco> ljungk:  you know *which* man section its supposed to be in, right?
[21:27] <s0101> http://pastebin.com/m35936903
[21:28] <Fuzzy> hey guys tell me a similar program to FL Studio, like the windows on ubuntu
[21:28] <chetnick> vigo: it is definitely SeaMonkey :) Thanks again.
[21:28] <vigo> chetchick: Thunderbird is part of the SeaMonkey application/repository...it is the e,mail only, SeaMonkey Suite has Thunderbird included in it.
[21:28] <s0101> but if i right click on the desktop i cant se the text in the pop up menu
[21:28] <drumstyk1> phorensic: so if i find out what my uuid is would you be able to suggest changes to my fstab or do you think the problem lies within the chmod stuff?
[21:28] <mitchell> please help with firefox, when I rightclick on a link any of the options from the popup menu is executed without making the second click
[21:28] <ljungk> maco: yeah, but the .gz is not mandatory, only the digit. i guess it's '1', since it's a 'general command' rather than anything else
[21:28] <s0101> have a look at paste bin
[21:28] <s0101> http://pastebin.com/m35936903
[21:29] <phorensic> drumstyk1:  UUID="b55d4960-9dd7-4a40-8112-19a6bff7d785"	/media/teradrive	ext3	defaults	0	0    that is anexample of my entry to mount my additional hdd
[21:29] <maco> ljungk: thatd be 8 then
[21:29] <maco> ljungk: 1 is for system utilities
[21:29] <mneptok> !pastebin > phorensic
[21:29] <maco> ljungk: see man man for the list
[21:29] <maco> ljungk: er 7, not 8, sorry
[21:29] <phorensic> mneptok: thatwas only 1 line wth
[21:30] <mcmoher59> hi guys
[21:30] <s0101> this program is flimering after the install
[21:30] <mneptok> phorensic: please do not paste output ot the channel. it was one line, but filled with <tab> escape codes.
[21:30] <phorensic> mneptok: ok thanks pal
[21:30] <mitchell> need help with firefox
[21:30] <binspace> I'd like to make a script to select the "control is mapped to the win keys" keyboard option. Does anybody know where the configuration is located?
[21:30] <drumstyk1> phorensic: that is extremely helpful... does this give you read and write permissions by default or do you still have to go into sudo nautilus to make changes?
[21:31] <ljungk> maco: well according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_pages, 1 is general commands. but i guess 7, miscellaneous is pretty appropriate
[21:31] <phorensic> drumstyk1: everything has worked just fine for me mounting in this way.. remember you can sudo mount -a i believe once you make thi entry to test
[21:31] <mcmoher59> how can i install opera in linux ubuntu 8.04?
[21:32] <mcmoher59> jakis polak?
[21:32] <mcmoher59> hę?
[21:32] <ljungk> maco: executble programs and shell commands, sounds like what i have? (spim, mips simulator)
[21:32] <mcmoher59> any polish?
[21:32] <mitchell> please right click in firefox does weird things
[21:32] <mneptok> !pl > mcmoher59
[21:32] <maco> mcmoher59: english only here
[21:32] <Rencx> maco: but i think that Keyring make some problems with wireless network, and sometimes, i cant see or aces network even if network is available
[21:32] <ortsvorsteher> mcmoher59: try sudo apt-get install opera
[21:32] <mitchell> some help
[21:32] <mcmoher59> ok
[21:32] <mcmoher59> thx
[21:32] <drumstyk1> phorensic: i can't thank you enough for the help... I am trying it now
[21:32] <unix_remote> i can rest password from recovery mode right?
[21:32] <phorensic> s0101: So did that restart get the drivers to work correctly?
[21:32] <fearlessdawg> mitchell: whats wrong with your firefox?
[21:33] <mneptok> unix_remote: correct
[21:33] <drumstyk1> !uuid
[21:33] <mitchell> when I rightclick on a link any of the options from the popup menu is executed randomly without making the second click
[21:33] <rdw200169> unix_remote, yes; you just go into a shell and change it there
[21:33] <s0101> i chose driver 96 but it i will also try with 173
[21:33] <unix_remote> mneptok: link to tutorial/
[21:33] <s0101> brb
[21:33] <fearlessdawg> mitchell: i see what i can find out
[21:33] <phorensic> drumstyk1: no problem, someone mentioned that there was some requirement to use the uuid instead of thee device path in intrepid?
[21:33] <maco> mcmoher59: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser
[21:33] <mneptok> unix_remote: well, since you asked so nicely ...
[21:33] <unix_remote> mneptok: nevermind ;-)
[21:34] <mneptok> unix_remote: http://blogs.gnome.org/mneptok/2008/11/11/reset-your-password-with-recovery-mode-on-the-dell-mini-9-netbook/

[21:35] <flixporty> hello guys
[21:35] <flixporty> is there a safe way to stop madm mirroring raid
[21:35] <flixporty> do i have to change the partition type after removing the partitions from the raid
[21:35] <fearlessdawg> mitchell: i have looked and it is a report bug. see here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/206295
[21:35] <mrpinky> hi, is there a command to see what groups i am a member of (for permissions purposes)?
[21:36] <ortsvorsteher> mrpinky: id must give you an answer
[21:36] <mitchell> thanks, now im gonna check this
[21:36] <maco> Rencx: are they networks that have weak signals? or maybe theyre 802.11b? ive heard of issues with 802.11b on intel wireless card
[21:36] <mcmoher59> it didnt works
[21:36] <mrpinky> ortsvorsteher, great thanks :)
[21:36] <lasivian> is there any way to share desktop themes across multiple computers?
[21:36] <ortsvorsteher> :)
[21:37] <rdw200169> lasivian, what do you mean? it's *possible*
[21:37] <Rencx> maco: i have strong network how to see what of 802.11a/b/g i have?
[21:37] <swtaarrs_> is there a way to have apt-get downgrade all installed packages to the current available version?  I installed some updates from intrepid-backports and intrepid-proposed that I want to remove
[21:37] <rdw200169> lasivian, but you need to provide more information, what exaclty do you want to share?
[21:37] <maco> Rencx: check your router's settings
[21:37] <mcmoher59> die oper didnt work!
[21:37] <rdw200169> lasivian, are these newly installed systems, or are they already in place?
[21:37] <mcmoher59> xD
[21:38] <ortsvorsteher> !details | mcmoher59
[21:38] <mneptok> swtaarrs_: remove the packages, disable -backports and -proposed and then re-install the packages
[21:38] <swtaarrs_> mneptok: I thought of that, but a lot of them are essential things like gcc so that won't really work :(
[21:39] <Rencx> maco: it is ok if ubuntu dot have problems with wpa2
[21:39] <rdw200169> lasivian, b/c it may just be a matter of copying working configs into /etc/skel for new accounts on those computers... anything in /etc/skel gets copied to the home folder when it's created for new accounts (according to the default PAM rules)
[21:39] <mneptok> swtaarrs_: gcc is not essential.
[21:39] <maco> Rencx: networkmanager shouldnt have a problem with it, but again, it depends on your wireless card's driver what will and won't work
[21:39] <mneptok> swtaarrs_: gcc is an optional package, usually installed as part of build-essential
[21:39] <maco> Rencx: though that does remind me that i should switch my router to wpa2...
[21:40] <swtaarrs_> mneptok: apt-get wants to remove a huge list of packages including openoffice and other thing if I try to remove gcc, and there are probably other packages that really are essential
[21:40] <victorbrca> Hi all, would someone mind helping with a simple question on lauchpad?
[21:40] <rdw200169> lasivian, you could even go so far as to set up a new installation of Ubuntu, get everything working the way you want, then copy all the hidden folders and files to /etc/skel
[21:41] <rdw200169> lasivian, then, taking that same copy and putting in on the rest of the computers
[21:41] <mneptok> swtaarrs_: then your system is way out of spec. OO.org has no dependency on gcc
[21:41] <Spec> it's true, no dependency.
[21:41] <mneptok> swtaarrs_: OO.org is installed on every Ubuntu system. gcc is not.
[21:42] <swtaarrs_> mneptok: independent of those issues, is there any other way to do what I want?
[21:42] <maco> Spec: highlighted on that one, eh?
[21:42] <Spec> maco: not at all ;)
[21:43] <s0101> hi again forensic
[21:43] <s0101> wierd i checked again driver 96 is the only one i can get to work
[21:44] <s0101> the side menu in this program with all the user names are blinking but besides that it seams to be allright
[21:44] <s0101> maybe i should change in the config file to nv?
[21:45] <realmatt> Why is all the external sata drive docks that I see limited to 1TB hard drives?
[21:45] <phorensic1> s0101: man.. sorry i cant help u better
[21:45] <s0101> thanks anyway you helped me a lot
[21:46] <guntbert> swtaarrs_: not sure about the implications, but as far as I remember I disabled those repos and let the apps just "peter out"
[21:47] <the_dark_warrio> I have a windows vista on the LAN, and it requires a password to be accessed. But if I try to access it with Ubuntu, it shows 0 itens and don't request any pass. Any hints?
[21:47] <iPeter-> Is there any way to change volume % when scrolling from g15 volumecontrol?
[21:47] <Louis> I'm running xubuntu 8.10 and i'm trying to configure my screen saver to display photos in my photo folder.  However, I don't seem to have a photo directory ... is there a place I can define it/
[21:47] <Louis> ?
[21:47] <Mud|afk> iPeter- using windows :+ ?
[21:48] <Mud|afk> j/k
[21:48] <iPeter-> Mud|afk, Ubuntu 8.04.2
[21:48] <naki> what is better
[21:48] <naki> Ubtuntu or KUbuntu
[21:48] <maco> Louis: just create the directory in your home directory
[21:48] <iPeter-> i prefer for ubuntu.
[21:48] <Mud|afk> me too , ubuntu
[21:48] <maco> naki: personal preference...
[21:48] <rdw200169> naki, it doesn't matter; the difference is preference; look up KDE and Gnome, and pick which GUI you would like more
[21:49] <guntbert> !best | naki
[21:49] <maco> naki: i think gnome's simpler than kde, but some people like how many options kde gives you
[21:49] <Mud|afk> naki: download 2 live cd's
[21:49] <Mud|afk> and try out
[21:49] <naki> are they not just the same OS just different visuals?
[21:49] <rdw200169> naki, yes.
[21:49] <ruediix> does anyone know the website for metabuntu.  Google seems to be censoring it.
[21:49] <rdw200169> naki, you can have both if you want, for example, d/l ubuntu, then download kubuntu-desktop
[21:49] <Solet> how do you add eee-control to start up?
[21:49] <maco> ruediix: medibuntu, you mean?
[21:49] <naki> so i could just apt-get kde and well
[21:49] <rdw200169> naki, then, you will have both options at your disposal
[21:49] <naki> yeah
[21:49] <iPeter-> Is there any way to change volume % when scrolling from g15 volumecontrol, using ubuntu 8.04.2.
[21:49] <naki> hrm
[21:49] <ruediix> yeah.
[21:49] <naki> ok well thanks then
[21:50] <maco> naki: kubuntu-desktop is what to install to get all the default kubuntu apps
[21:50] <Louis> maco:  will ubuntu recongize it as *the* photos directory?
[21:50] <ruediix> Ah, I got it.  Never mind.
[21:50] <maco> Louis: yes, and capitalization counts
[21:50] <robertz> how do i make my webcam framerate faster? is it possible?
[21:50] <Louis> maco:  and besides, i'd like to have it be /var/lib/mythtv/pictures  ... or sync it with the one in my home directory
[21:50] <rdw200169> naki, maco yes, the desktop package also gets all the ubuntu specific configurations and integrability with the ubuntu-way so the desktop will look like the screenshot on the website, etc...
[21:51] <maco> Louis: it has to be ~/Photos, but you can make ~/Photos be a symlink to /var/lib/mythtv/pictures
[21:51] <user01> is there an opensource rar password recovery tool?
[21:52] <Louis> maco:  okay cool... and how would I make a sym link?
[21:52] <user01> i found old files i stored 5 years ago but i forgot the password
[21:52] <rdw200169> maco, ln -s /var/lib/mythtv/pictures /home/user/Photos
[21:53] <user01> unless the file is just corrupt after 5 years :)
[21:53] <guntbert> !cracking | user01
[21:53] <user01> they are my photos :p
[21:53] <maco> Louis: what rdw200169 just said
[21:53] <Louis> user01:  are they encyrpted?
[21:53] <Louis> maco: got it, thanks... and the screen saver app will automatically read that properly?
[21:53] <rdw200169> maco, Louis whoops ;)
[21:53] <user01> Louis, no i just created a rar a while back with a password
[21:54] <maco> Louis: should
[21:54] <Louis> rdw200169:  haha thanks anyway!
[21:54] <RaverWild> hello guys. a question - what could be the reason of a popular package existing in hardy, to not exist in interpid repos? i searched 'starfighter' and it is present in hardy and missing in interpid repos. ideas?
[21:54] <Louis> user01:  i believe that encrypts it...
[21:54] <Louis> in which case you're screwed
[21:54] <user01> Louis, ah ok
[21:54] <user01> darn
[21:54] <Louis> yeah...
[21:54] <Louis> unless you can get a CRAY supercomputer
[21:54] <Slart> RaverWild: might not have been updated properly.. or some other problem
[21:54] <petllama> i got like 4 of those
[21:54] <rdw200169> RaverWild, it probably fell into dis-repair, i.e. the original maintainer dis-appeared or something
[21:55] <Louis> lol
[21:55] <petllama> ooo you said cray supercomputer... i thought it was grey computer
[21:55] <petllama> ^_^
[21:55] <drumstyk1> phorensic1: i just rebooted to see that you solved my problem... i have spent countless hours googling and trying different configurations. Thank you so much! You completely made my day!
[21:55] <user01> Louis, i think that was my period where i was using randomly generated stuff to pass encode everything too
[21:55] <rdw200169> Slart, yeah, that too
[21:56] <RaverWild> Slart, rdw200169 - is there a site where people could take look at the progress of such packages?
[21:56] <rdw200169> RaverWild, most of that takes place on launchpad.net nowadays
[21:56] <RaverWild> rdw200169, thanks
[21:56] <Slart> RaverWild: apparently it contained non-free data according to this page https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/starfighter/1.1-7ubuntu1
[21:56] <totix801> Hey, what parameters do I need to let GNU patch find it's files to patch automatically?
[21:56] <user01> Louis, i was from a large family where everyone used the same computer :)
[21:57] <user01> and it was windows :(
[21:57] <RaverWild> Slart, thanks
[21:57] <Louis> user01:  aah yeah... been there
[21:57] <Ward1983> is there a version of the liveCD that will boot on systems with only 128MB memory?
[21:57] <Louis> user01:  i know there are tools that can brute force, but if your pass was more than like... 5 or 6 characters, i wouldn't bother
[21:58] <Slart> Ward1983: you could try xubuntu... I think it's the lightest of the versions.. not sure it will work on 128Mb though
[21:58] <phorensic1> drumstyk1: awesome glad i could return the favor
[21:58] <user01> Louis, eh i will keep it in my archive for when computers become like crays in the future :)
[21:58] <Ward1983> Slart, ah didnt know it had a livecd thanx
[21:58] <rdw200169> RaverWild, seems to have skipped intrepid, but look, it's gonna be in jaunty (wierd!) https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/starfighter
[21:58] <Louis> user01:  don't hold your breath... it still takes a few days to crack DES
[21:59] <Slart> rdw200169: yup.. or at least it's in development..
[21:59] <RaverWild> rdw200169, strange. are such stuff happen often?
[21:59] <rdw200169> Slart, RaverWild ah, seems as though it was deleted in intrepid due to 'non-free data' according to the publishing history
[21:59] <Louis> maco:  the symlink is there (double checked) but the screen saver doesn't seem to be working... at least not according to the preview
[22:00] <Louis> any thoughts?
[22:00] <rdw200169> RaverWild, it will when there's 'non-free' data!
[22:00] <user01> Louis, oh well it will be like a time capsule then in 20 years or so
[22:00] <maco> Louis: is the symlink the right direction?
[22:00] <phorensic1> Louis: just a thought but have you look at the permissions of the pics?
[22:00] <Louis> haha there you go =)
[22:00] <tag> Since upgrading to intrepid, my GDM splash screen shows up incredibly small (about 1/16th of my screen size) in the top left corner of my physical screen area [ thinkpad T60, ati mobility X1400 ].  When I log in, everything looks just fine...any ideas on how to fix that?
[22:00] <maco> uh battery
[22:00] <maco> im out
[22:00] <RaverWild> rdw200169, there are some links. i'll try follow and hope would lead to packages to download. or sources... looks like this is the only thing left
[22:01] <Louis> phorensic1:  let me check that now.
[22:01] <Louis> maco:  i typed in what i was suggested earlier verbatim (although i did replace "user" with my username)
[22:01] <Louis> but when i graphically double click on the symlink in Photos, it goes to the right directory
[22:01] <rdw200169> RaverWild, you could take a shot at the jaunty version, maybe the dependencies match up, i don't know (i'm still on hardy)
[22:03] <Peddy> when I'm installing a certain package, apt-get wants me to uninstall a bunch of others. Is there a way to force apt-get to only *install* the package, and uninstall nothing?
[22:03] <RaverWild> rdw200169, im curious - in general on ubuntu, if i install a package from source or manually downloaded package and this package is available on the repo, on newer version in the repo, will the package manager update my installation of this package? or it skips manually installed stuff? never tried this
[22:03] <phorensic1> Peddy: the other packages are dependencies
[22:03] <simion314> hi, i have a strange problem with networkinf and i can't get any solution , please some netwok guru look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6625115
[22:03] <Louis> phorensic1:  my user owns the photos, and the photo directory allows the group (of which my user is a member ) both read and write access... so that seems to be okay
[22:03] <Brack10> Ubuntu deteced my LCD's resolution incorrectly and I can't force it in xorg.conf.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[22:04] <Peddy> phoenixz, it's *uninstalling* packages
[22:04] <phoenixz> Peddy: excuse me?
[22:04] <Peddy> phorensic1, , it's *uninstalling* packages
[22:04] <rdw200169> RaverWild, well, that depends; when you install it from source, you can set it to install to /opt or usr/share/local instead of usr/share which is the ubuntu default
[22:04] <phoenixz> Peddy: I think you have to talk to phorensic1
[22:04] <Peddy> sorry phoenixz, wrong person :P
[22:04] <phorensic1> Peddy: ahhh
[22:05] <Goliard> irc.darksin.it
[22:05] <RaverWild> rdw200169, ok thanks man
[22:05] <rdw200169> RaverWild, but, if you have both installed at the same time, i'm not quite sure which binary it will pick, i.e. /usr/bin/starfighter or /usr/local/bin/starfighter
[22:05] <biouser> anyone got a favored way of normalizing audio in either a ogv or flv video file?
[22:06] <rdw200169> RaverWild, but, if you had source installed to /usr/share and tried to install a deb that put files in the same places, i'm pretty sure it overwrites them, i can't remember
[22:06] <Peddy> phorensic1, because installing the nvidia drivers uninstall xserver-xorg, which doesn't help :P. It's a bug. I'm asking here about the force-package thing, because it's not an exclusively Jaunty question.
[22:07] <gsdgsd> anyone have any experience with vsftpd?
[22:07] <phorensic1> Peddy: I see.. i couldn't find anything to force it to only uninstall the singular package and not its dependencies.. what a lame bug
[22:07] <Pi3rrot> hi all
[22:08] <phorensic1> Peddy: prolly could always just to that and then reinstall the needed packages =-p
[22:08] <Peddy> phorensic1, I don't want to uninstall a singular package, I meant I want to *install* one package, and that requires me to *uninstall* dozens of important system packages.
[22:08] <Pi3rrot> how can i bridge my wireless internet whith my wired ethernet interfcace eth0?
[22:08] <rdw200169> Pi3rrot, you want to share internet i take it?  does it *have* to be bridged (i.e. like a switch)?
[22:08] <phorensic1> Peddy: i see.. why the hell would it do that?
[22:09] <onThedesk> I need help with installing gyachi yahoo chat client on ubuntu linux
[22:09] <biouser> gsdgsd sounds familiar, what is it?
[22:09] <onThedesk> is this the right place to ask my question?
[22:09] <biouser> onThedesk you never know until you ask... I can't tell you anything about it but someone *may*
[22:10] <Peddy> phorensic1, I don't know... here's a pastebin if it makes things clearer: http://pastebin.com/m549450a6
[22:10] <phorensic1> Peddy: did you try the man page for apt-get ?
[22:10] <rdw200169> onThedesk, have you tried pidgin first? it does yahoo chat
[22:10] <onThedesk> rdw200169,  I am sorry but it does not have yahoo chat
[22:10] <onThedesk> rdw200169, it does not have 80% of yahoo's features
[22:11] <Peddy> phorensic1, I'm having a look through the man pages now.
[22:11] <onThedesk> rdw200169,  Perhaps it is the time when the community should stop refering pidgin as an alternate to yahoo
[22:11] <rdw200169> onThedesk, alright, good luck
[22:11] <biouser> Peddy looks like you would probably be okay, but don't necessarily take my word for it ;)
[22:11] <onThedesk> :)
[22:11] <biouser> nvidia-180-kernel-source nvidia-glx-180 xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core
[22:11] <biouser> might get you back
[22:11] <Dermot> ello
[22:12] <onThedesk> The problem is that 64bit package someone provided at ubuntu forum does not have voice chat
[22:12] <biouser> Peddy hmmm uninstalling xorg though, I see your dilemma
[22:12] <phorensic1> onThedesk: but you still get to im using the yahoo protocol and for most people thats enough
[22:12] <Peddy> biouser, it's uninstalling xserver-xorg :p
[22:12] <onThedesk> 32 bit has voice chat but i am unable to install it
[22:12] <Peddy> yep
[22:12] <Dermot> yeah i installed the 64bit version and voice chat doesn't even open
[22:12] <dartagnon1234> So, I'm new to ssh.  Is it possible for me to log onto my computer via my phone's ssh client, start a download/update/torrent session, log out of my ssh session and keep the download/etc going?
[22:13] <biouser> dartagnon1234 maybe if you run it in the background
[22:13] <biouser> dartagnon1234 I don't think so though
[22:13] <Dermot> The voice box doesn't even open
[22:13] <onThedesk> phorensic no actually most people also need webcam support and voice chat We are talking 2008 now even web based email programs such as gmail has voice and cam now
[22:13] <Peddy> phorensic1, it's OK uninstall 180, though, even when 180 isn't installed in the first place, it still wants to remove xserver-xorg and all that other stuff. So it's not removing xserver-xorg *because* it's removing nvidia180, it's removing xserver-xorg because it's install 173. Installing 180 does not force the  uninstallation of these packages.
[22:13] <Peddy> biouser, that comment to phorensic was meant for you as well :)
[22:13] <shakesbier> hello guys, i could need some help with xchat, because i dont find a way to make it use iso-8859 for western characters set, firefox does not use it automatically neither :(
[22:13] <jtaji> dartagnon1234: best way is to start it in a screen session... or you could use nohup
[22:13] <Dermot> The cam opens fine, just wont broadcast even though it says "broadcasting" it actually aint
[22:13] <jtaji> !screen | dartagnon1234
[22:14] <chupy> i have a problem with pulse audio ALSA lib pulse.c:272:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused
[22:14] <__kevin__> i have an issue with adobe flash plugin for firefox -- I installed the latest plugin and I still cannot view flash objects
[22:14] <chupy> can anyone help me?
[22:14] <onThedesk> Dermot,  so what you suggest that we should do now?
[22:14] <biouser> Peddy I see... have you tried to see what aptitude or synaptic want to do just for fun, probably the same, but you might get lucky...
[22:14] <chupy> join #ubuntu-es
[22:14] <sebsebseb> shakesbier: well plenty of other IRC clients and browsers that can be used that are good
[22:14] <biouser> chupy who doesn't lol
[22:14] <Ryuki> hey I have a question
[22:14] <Peddy> chupy, I had the same problem, try running 'pulseaudio' in the terminal, and show me the output.
[22:14] <dartagnon1234> thank you
[22:14] <phorensic1> Peddy: Yah I have no ideas on the matter sorry
[22:15] <Peddy> thanks phorensic1
[22:15] <phorensic1> Peddy: never even tried running a +1 .. not enough wizard skills yet
[22:15] <Peddy> yeah, biouser, I might try Synaptic, and I know aptitude doesn't work.
[22:15] <Dermot> onThedesk: i would suggest loell works on full 64bit support, i think he uses 32bit so hes not pushed on making it support 64bit, i guess waiting is the only option
[22:15] <MarySue> Question: Will Ubuntu handle 4GB of RAM?
[22:15] <Brack10> can you use xrandr to set a resolution HIGHER than detected by X server???
[22:15] <sebsebseb> MarySue: of course
[22:15] <Pi3rrot> rdw200169, i just want tu bridge wireless and ethernet connexion to others computers
[22:15] <MarySue> you sure?
[22:15] <Brack10> this man page confuses the hell out of me
[22:15]  * Dermot personally the chatscreen on it annoys me, too much colours
[22:15] <biouser> Peddy it like how back in the day you would try to make a change and end up with no desktop manager or something :|
[22:16] <sebsebseb> MarySue: and it will handle it better than Windows in fact
[22:16] <MarySue> alright
[22:16] <shakesbier> sebsebseb: you are right but, there gotta be a way to make those programs use that charset by default
[22:16] <chupy> Peddy:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/110481/
[22:16] <bbeebboopp> MarySue, yes !!! it does here
[22:16] <biouser> MarySue ubuntu will handle 16 gigs ++
[22:16] <MarySue> then it is possible for me to install VMware and install XP and install Adobe Creative Suite 4 in XP then.
[22:16] <dennda> MarySue: The 64 bit version will natively. 32bit only with PAE
[22:16] <sebsebseb> MarySue:   I guess your new to Ubuntu,  and maybe computers.  and don't know much about RAM?
[22:16] <biouser> MarySue sounds plausible
[22:17] <MarySue> I'm not new to Ubuntu, just making sure it can handle more RAM
[22:17] <__kevin__> i have an issue with adobe flash plugin for firefox -- I installed the latest plugin and I still cannot view flash objects -- any advice?
[22:17] <sebsebseb> MrySue:  do you understand there technical  talk?  64bit  32bit etc
[22:17] <MarySue> Yes
[22:17] <sebsebseb> MarySue: ok :)
[22:17] <rdw200169> Pi3rrot, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConnectionBridge
[22:17] <phorensic1> sebsebseb: She knows more thann you are giving her credit for
[22:17] <biouser> sebsebseb could you be a little more patronizing
[22:17] <Peddy> biouser, lol, the first time it happened, jockey (hardware drivers) remove those packages without telling me, and I spent an hour installing different video drivers, then when I tried 'startx' it said '/usr/bin/X/x not found' or something similar :P
[22:17] <sebsebseb> MarySue:  sorry being a bit patraonizing here or something.  didn't mean to, but  it came out
[22:18] <MarySue> Hm... ok. Then I will figure out which videocard Ubuntu will support and also, Windows.
[22:18] <chupy> Peddy http://paste.ubuntu.com/110481/ XD sorry for bothering
[22:18] <MarySue> It's alright.
[22:18] <onThedesk> So does any one know how to install Gyachi 32bit on 64bit architecture machine and get voice chat working?
[22:18] <Peddy> chupy, try sudo chown chupy .pulse-cookie
[22:18] <Dermot> better to ask then leave them there baffled if they didn't understand
[22:18] <phorensic1> MarySue: I suggest nvidia =-p
[22:18] <Orphis> Hello
[22:18] <MarySue> I know.
[22:18] <shakesbier> i still need help with that charset :(
[22:18] <MarySue> ok, which videocard, phorensic1?
[22:18] <biouser> chupy you could try $killall pulseaudio; pulseaudio -start
[22:18] <sebsebseb> phorensic1:  Nivida used to be great, but  later cards have issues with the new xorg in  Intrepid Ibex.  also they don't do open source drivers, like ATI do :)
[22:19] <biouser> MarySue I'm not a big fan of my ATI
[22:19] <sebsebseb> MarySue:  Nividia don't suppourt xorg properly anymore
[22:19] <MarySue> it's alright
[22:19] <Dermot> my nvidia card works fine on intrepid
[22:19] <Orphis> I'm using latest Ubuntu and I'm trying to make autofs work with my samba shares, I've followed the instructions of many tutorials and I think I've grasped the concept but nothing is working at all
[22:19] <sebsebseb> Dermost: as does mine, but not all will
[22:19] <Izinucs> MarySue: agp or pci.. the 6000 series of nvidia have been pretty bullet proof and should be a great value right now.
[22:19] <Starhero> Yeah and performace on even windows computers for Nvidia is degrading with later cards
[22:19] <MarySue> ok which one? I have liek 3 PCI and PCIExpress x16 and x1
[22:19] <Dermot> yeah can be picky
[22:19] <Starhero> ati is starting to come back (should say AMD)
[22:20] <phorensic1> I have the 8800GT and have had no issues MarySue, and sebsebseb isn't the nv driver opensource?? Poo on ATI ... I hope AMD is straightening them out
[22:20] <chupy> Peddy no proces eliminated... Falled to pares command line
[22:20] <Dermot> mine is pciexpress x16
[22:20] <sebsebseb> phorensic1:  well the more open source drivers the better?  regarldess of what they are actsaully for?
[22:20] <Starhero> I have an issue ither with the xserver or the 7700 go card
[22:20] <Dermot> geforce 9600
[22:20] <biouser> anyone got a favored way of normalizing audio in either a ogv or flv video file?
[22:20] <Orphis> I can use the script /etc/auto.smb myhostname to output the shares but it's still not really working...
[22:20] <Starhero> For some reason I have an really annoying flash that happens periodicly
[22:20] <Peddy> chupy, try 'sudo killall pulseaudio', then 'sudo alsa force-reload', then 'pulseaudio'.
[22:20] <Dermot> or was it 9500 , one of them
[22:21] <Starhero> it lasts milliseconds
[22:21] <Izinucs> MarySue: you pic.. depends on how the card is made..  8000 series cards are newer and good but depending on the chipset of your motherboard you might experience slow screen writes.. like me.. nvidia 8200 chipset and video card and it's much slower than my old p4 motherboard and an agp 6600gt card.
[22:21] <biouser> Peddy shouldn't need sudo? PA is per session or something?
[22:21] <Starhero> it is like a refresh of the xserver
[22:21] <MarySue> I only see geforce 9600 GT
[22:21] <Dermot> yes
[22:22] <MarySue> o then
[22:22] <Peddy> biouser, for which command? chown?
[22:22] <MarySue> I will get it
[22:22] <Dermot> intel core 2 quad q6600
[22:22] <MarySue> mine's only intel core duo
[22:22] <biouser> Peddy killall pulseaudio
[22:22] <biouser> no need for sudo
[22:22] <Dermot> sudo -s would be session is it now
[22:22] <Peddy> biouser, ok :P
[22:22] <Dermot> not*
[22:23] <dartagnon1234> jataji and ubottu: screen looks mighty powerful, thanks for the tips
[22:23] <shakesbier> well, i just repeat my question: "i could need some help with xchat, because i dont find a way to make it use iso-8859 for western characters set, firefox does not use it automatically neither :("
[22:23] <Peddy> chupy, still the same?
[22:23] <chupy> mmmmm its loading pulseaudio command
[22:23] <biouser> shakesbier can you right click and use SCIM or something
[22:24] <Peddy> chupy, could you pastebin /etc/pulse/default.pa please?
[22:24] <Steve132> I want to compile a stupidly simple c program using the unix posix standard
[22:24] <shakesbier> biouser: rightclick where
[22:24] <biouser> shakesbier in the input
[22:24] <chupy> Pedy ok....
[22:24] <Orphis> How can I make automount to be more verbose on the errors ? I only get a "failed to mount /smb/myhost" error
[22:24] <Steve132> but "gcc simple.c" returns the link error "-lunistd not found"
[22:24] <biouser> shakesbier not sure about what you are asking just something that came to mind
[22:24] <Steve132> and I'm kind of like...what?  the library for the posix standard cannot link?  wtf?
[22:25] <Steve132> anyone else have this problem?
[22:25] <Dermot> right click -> input methods?
[22:25] <Steve132> nvmd
[22:25] <Steve132> fixed it
[22:25] <Steve132> I'm a retard
[22:25] <shakesbier> biouser: the problem is that i see strange characters for german ä,ö,ü,ß
[22:25] <biouser> Dermot right, then you can write in Thai, you might need to get some plugins though
[22:26] <chupy> Peddy http://paste.ubuntu.com/110488/
[22:26] <swegner> Hi all.  I am trying to get nullmailer set up.  But when it tries to send mail in the queue, it prints the following error to mail.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/110489/  Anybody know why it might do that?

[22:29] <chupy> Peddy i remember that i modify something for skype
[22:29] <daplumpkin> can anyone help me with installing ubuntu?
[22:29] <Peddy> chupy, you need to restart PA with pulseaudio -k
[22:30] <daplumpkin> PM plz
[22:30] <Peddy> chupy, you can change it back if it fails.
[22:30] <chupy> do i change the lines?
[22:30] <[tiggrBot]> anyone here?
[22:30] <Peddy> chupy, how do you mean?
[22:30] <chupy> Peddy that before changing the lines o after
[22:31] <biouser> man pulseaudio |grep '\-k'
[22:31] <biouser>        -k  --kill
[22:31] <Peddy> chupy, after
[22:31] <linuxman410> daplumpkin what do you need
[22:31] <Peddy> chupy, make sure to set sound to autodetect, as well.
[22:32] <biouser> sound is voodoo right now but I have high hopes for jaunty
[22:32] <Dermot> anybody use monodevelop?
[22:32] <biouser> anyone got a favored way of normalizing audio in either a ogv or flv video file?
[22:32] <dartagnon1234> Now I have to ask about using screen.  It seems I can't open a screen session on my phone--(I can only do console work, no curses or anything)--is there a way to pass an argument to a detached screen? :P
[22:32] <DasBaum> do anyone of you know the piespy bot?
[22:32] <Eliad> hi
[22:32] <CyberGabber> I'm installing Cacti.  Commmand "mysqladmin --user=root create cacti" gives: "error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'", whats wrong?
[22:32] <chupy> Peddy W: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader.
[22:32]  * biouser is off to the ffmpeg docs
[22:33] <Peddy> chupy, try executing 'pulse-session'
[22:33] <chupy> Peddy , nothing happen
[22:34] <Peddy> biouser, this (http://www.itbroadcastanddigitalcinema.com/ffmpeg_howto.html) is a nice guide, I'm not sure if it'll help you
[22:34] <stones> Hello
[22:34] <Peddy> chupy, try running 'padevchoose', and clicking on the icon in your system tray, choose 'volume control'.
[22:34] <Peddy> chupy, padevchooser*
[22:34] <stones> What is a good program that can show me real time statistics from apache on a website using ajax?
[22:35] <Viking667> hey there. Where does Ubuntu store its hostname for later? I've done a grep through /etc with no results I can see.
[22:35] <j0sh-x1> Hi, does anybody know how to force multichannel sound card to act as separate sound cards? I mean playing two different sounds from two different outputs..
[22:35] <grkblood13> hey guys, i just want to make sure im understanding the whole point of virtual hosts since i think ive been interpretting it wrong. do virtual host allow you to host multiple  sites to the outside world or is it just a local thing?
[22:35] <biouser> thanks Peddy I really don't know anything about ffmpeg except for it does some stuff that I need to do :P
[22:35] <chupy> Peddy, ok...
[22:35] <grkblood13> worng chat
[22:35] <biouser> stones top is a good place to start if you don't already know
[22:36] <foormea> hi there. i have an external usb drive for which i use the 'noauto' option in fstab. i'd like to have the disk automatically mounted when plugged in. i know i can use a udev rule to do that, but would there be another way to do that? thanks
[22:36] <stones> biouser: What? htop is bether than top, but I want to see web page statistiks on a webpage.
[22:36] <biouser> grkblood13 yes
[22:36] <biouser> stones a single page?
[22:36] <stones> biouser: Like number of hits, ip, browser and such. Like google analytics
[22:37] <stones> Just that they are based on the apache logs
[22:37] <biouser> ip and browser are in the access log
[22:37] <biouser> right
[22:37] <biouser> so you could write a script to grep the logs
[22:38] <chupy> Peddy, now what do i have to do...
[22:38] <stones> biouser: I want to see it, I know there are good tools for this out there. I just dont know the names.
[22:38] <biouser> maybe a webapp framework like django/rails if you are using one might have a plug-in
[22:39] <Peddy> chupy, so do you see the volume controls?
[22:39] <alex^> stones: awstats, webilizer
[22:39] <chupy> yes
[22:39] <adam__> Question: anyone familiar with screenlets know how to stop them from hiding when clicking the show desktop button?
[22:40] <Peddy> chupy, when you play an application that crashes when playing sound, can you still access volume control?
[22:40]  * biouser grabs awstats from the package manager ...
[22:40] <chupy> yes...
[22:40] <blusound> ciao raga
[22:40] <biouser> alex^ do you need to install it on the server or it can just be on the local network?
[22:40] <Peddy> chupy, what are the apps that crash it?
[22:41] <blusound> !list
[22:41] <chupy> crash only a game  call  fretsonffire
[22:41] <alex^> bioshake: hmm?
[22:41] <chupy> but other programs... didnt have sound
[22:42] <Peddy> chupy, try running 'alsamixer' in the terminal, and make sure the volume is all the way up. Then, run the padevchooser Volume Control, and under the Output tab, make sure it's not muted or low volume.
[22:43] <Alice222> )
[22:43] <chupy> i see know the problem... i have to modify a line... thanks for all Peddy
[22:43] <tag> good lord
[22:44] <Peddy> chupy, what line?
[22:44] <Orphis> Can someone help me with autofs ? I can't get it to mount some smb shares
[22:44] <chupy> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype
[22:44] <chupy> i do this....
[22:44] <Peddy> ok, no problem chupy.
[22:44] <Orphis> I've got debug output from automount to show
[22:45] <chupy> and know i put it like it was and cashin XD
[22:45] <adam__> I found the answer, ccsm -> gen options -> uncheck Hide Skip Taskbar Windows
[22:45] <Peddy> chupy, in the file "/etc/pulse/default.pa" try changing the line "module-alsa-source device=hw:1,0" to just "module-alsa-source", and make sure sound is set to 'autodetect' in system>preferences>sound
[22:46] <Orphis> Here is the debug log : http://paste.ubuntu.com/110497/
[22:47] <gordonjcp> right here's a weird one
[22:47] <gordonjcp> when I plug in my Novation Xiosynth to the USB port, the Gnome startup sound plays
[22:47] <gordonjcp> what on *earth* could cause that?
[22:47] <gordonjcp> all system sounds are disabled
[22:48] <ubundude> is it even possible for an OS to remain stable?
[22:48] <luis__> XD
[22:48] <gordonjcp> ubundude: twas
[22:48] <gordonjcp> ubundude: yes, even
[22:48] <gordonjcp> more stable than my typing
[22:49] <ubundude> i tried switching to Ubuntu because i thought it would be more logic based
[22:49] <ubundude> yet i find that while doing even less than i normally would, stuff still happens that makes no sense to me
[22:49] <sebsebseb> ubundude: logic based as in harder to use?
[22:49] <ubundude> logical as in........making sense
[22:49] <gordonjcp> ubundude: do you often find that things make no sense to you?
[22:49] <ubundude> stuff happening because it makes sense
[22:50] <tag> I should have known better than to upgrade
[22:50] <ubundude> no i do not often find that
[22:50] <gordonjcp> ubundude: your problem there is that you expect computers to make sense
[22:50] <sebsebseb> ubundude:  yes it's not Windows, stuff in Ubuntu makes a lot of sense.
[22:50] <ubundude> why can't they?
[22:50] <sebsebseb> ubundude:  for a lot of  people Windows does not make sense
[22:50] <gordonjcp> ubundude: things don't tend to make sense until you understand them fully
[22:51] <gordonjcp> sebsebseb: windows makes no sense to me at all
[22:51] <tag> upgrading ubuntu is always a bad idea
[22:51] <gordonjcp> I tried it for the first time recently, and I can't figure it out
[22:51] <sebsebseb> we are  going off topic a dab with this  maybe, the mod will complain  and tell us to  go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:51] <gordonjcp> well s/first time/first time in years/
[22:51] <sebsebseb> I mean this isn't really suppourt
[22:51] <gordonjcp> sebsebseb: correct
[22:51] <ubundude> its not support...?
[22:51] <sebsebseb> nope
[22:51] <ubundude> oh
[22:51] <sebsebseb> it's talking about Ubuntu
[22:51] <sebsebseb> not getting specific help with it
[22:51] <gordonjcp> ubundude: you're not really looking for support, you're looking for a discussion about the nature of logic
[22:51] <ubundude> ah....
[22:51] <kushalsejwal> Greetings everybody!! I am on hardy, I am will be uprading to Intrepid, some one told me that it has some bug and each time static IP has to be written for those using static IP, Is it true?
[22:52] <ubundude> eh, it stems from support tbh
[22:52] <gordonjcp> ubundude: #ubuntu-offtopic would be a good place to discuss this
[22:52] <sebsebseb> well I am in #ubuntu-offtopic as well
[22:52] <sebsebseb> so if you want to continue there
[22:52] <skorek> a
[22:53] <biouser> b
[22:54] <biouser> anyone got a favored way of normalizing audio in either a ogv or flv video file?  HA
[22:54] <sebsebseb> !ogg
[22:54] <BiosElement> Anyone know of an IRC program for Linux more like mIRC which lets you have several windows instead of the sidebar/tabs used with XChat?
[22:54] <doni> a ka naj pidh
[22:55] <biouser> !english
[22:55] <kushalsejwal> sebsebseb: Is the issue with static IP still there in Intrepid?
[22:56] <wolter> hi... is running ubuntu in a virtual box from windows a bad idea?
[22:56] <sebsebseb> kushalsejwal: what issue?  I never talked to you about   some static IP issue
[22:56] <chi_> hey guys, 8.04 => 8.10 tried restricted driver manager => envy => "found, but none have a usable configuration"   ....   HLP pls -THX!
[22:56] <kantlivelong> can someone help me repair my DSDT?
[22:56] <sebsebseb> wolter:  a good idea to try it out for the first time, but best to put it on your hard disk for real later on
[22:57] <sebsebseb> wolter:  assuming your hardware works, and if not you have to find out about how to get stuff that does not just work working
[22:57] <sebsebseb> wolter: boot from the Live CD, and hopefully all hardware works there, if so great, because then it will in a real install as well
[22:57] <kushalsejwal> sebsebseb: yes you haven't I am just asking generally, I heard there is some bug in intrepid which hinders those using static IP
[22:57] <wolter> sebsebseb, hm.. i use ubuntu
[22:57] <sebsebseb> kushalsejwal: I use a static IP and no problems here
[22:57] <sebsebseb> wolter:  in Windows hummmmm
[22:58] <wolter> sebsebseb, i just hate having to boot to get in windows and play a non-supported-by-wine game...
[22:58] <sebsebseb> wolter:  well you can run Windows inside Ubuntu?
[22:58] <DasBaum> vmware
[22:58] <kushalsejwal> sebsebseb: Oh, thanks, and any rought idea how much MB would it take to upgrade fully to Intrepid from hardly?
[22:58] <wolter> sebsebseb, with 3d acceleration
[22:58] <wolter> ?
[22:58] <sebsebseb> kushalsejwal: depends on your connection speed, but  a  hardy to intrepid  upgrade,  shoud't take that long  with a good Internet connection
[22:59] <sebsebseb> DasBaum:  Virtualbox :)
[22:59] <kushalsejwal> kushalsejwal: With the normal Intrepid Live CD, one can only do a clean install? right? no upgrade is possible?
[23:00] <sebsebseb> kushalsejwal: you don't need the Live CD to upgrade
[23:00] <sebsebseb> !upgrade
[23:00] <Peddy> kushalsejwal, I don't think so, but with the Alternate CD you can upgrade.
[23:00] <franco> o
[23:00] <sebsebseb> kushalsejwal: you don't need the Intrepid Ibex CD for an upgrade, simple as that
[23:00] <kushalsejwal> Peddy: you are right!
[23:00] <rikardoubuntu> #ubuntu-co-meeting
[23:01] <kushalsejwal> sebsebseb: got it! thanks :)
[23:01] <sebsebseb> rikardoubuntu: what's that?
[23:01] <wolter> sebsebseb, can i use 3d acceleration (like to play a 3d game) from a virtual box?
[23:01] <Dermot> which does wubi fall under o_0
[23:01] <CapRiCoRN^80> my audio driver : Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller and not working on 7.10
[23:01] <sebsebseb> wolter:  two versions of virtualbox .  the OSE Open Source Edition lacks features such as USB support.  and then there's the cloused source PUEL one.  and yes that has some 3D suppourt now
[23:01] <sebsebseb> wolter: I haven't used it
[23:01] <sebsebseb> wolter:  the 3D suppourt
[23:02] <sebsebseb> wolter:  some 3D games you can actsaully get running nicely in Wine
[23:02] <CapRiCoRN^80> my audio driver : Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller and not working on 7.10 . how i can fix it ?
[23:02] <sebsebseb> wolter:  3D  suppourt is experimental in popular  virutal machine software such as  Virtualbox and VMware,  give it some time though and :d
[23:02] <Dermot> i was actually surprized how well the linux client of the sim second life worked
[23:03] <D-vine18> i need to konw how to get my Airlink AWLH3028 to work on Hardy 8.04
[23:03] <Starhero> I am having some weird periodic flashing on the whole desktop. I am running Nvidia's xserver (Well that was the options for my vidcard, don't know if it is really an xserver) the card is in a asus G1 and is a 7700 GO
[23:03] <sebsebseb> D-vine18: a wireless?
[23:03] <Albatross> hello there. Id like my windows machine and ubuntu machine to lan to transfer some files (my switch wont transfer over 1mbps)
[23:03] <sebsebseb> !samba
[23:03] <Albatross> and they dont want to cooperate
[23:03] <Starhero> it does not happen all the time, and is very fast but annoying none the lass
[23:04] <wolter> sebsebseb, well, that sounds promising..
[23:04] <wolter> sebsebseb, i have a windows vista installation.. could i boot from it with a virtual box?
[23:04] <sebsebseb> wolter: depends how much Pyiscal RAM you have
[23:04] <jarco> hello is it possible to look at and undo tyhe last updates on my ubuntu?
[23:05] <sebsebseb> wolter:  also only  Ultimate and Business are meant to be run in a VM according to Microsoft, but can still do other versions
[23:05] <wolter> sebsebseb, 4gb
[23:05] <sebsebseb> wolter:  yep you can do a Vista VM with that no problem
[23:06] <wolter> sebsebseb, which vbox do you recommend then?
[23:06] <Starhero> Anyone know the answer or can atemped at helping me with my problem?
[23:06] <Perogies> i editted my partition layout, and now my computer wont boot to grub. How can I fix this from a live cd?
[23:06] <sebsebseb> wolter:  Virtualbox should do the trick,  but maybe not for 3D games hummmmmm well try.   also there'es  some VMware product with experimetnal 3D suppuort as well,  and some other programs have as well I think
[23:07] <neura> Perogies: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[23:07] <sebsebseb> wolter:  you want the PUEL  from there site.  not the open source version.  http://www.virtualbox.org
[23:07] <tonsofpcs> kernel panic on boot :(
[23:07] <neura> maybe that can point you in the right direction
[23:07] <tonsofpcs> VFS consistency failure, can't mount
[23:07] <sebsebseb> wolter:  http://www.virtualbox.org open source edition lacks quite a few useful features
[23:07] <wolter> sebsebseb, ok, so you recommend me puel right?
[23:08] <sebsebseb> wolter:  also  VMware player and server aren't that great, but  VMware workstation that is meant to be paid for is the one that seems to have the 3D suppourt
[23:08] <sebsebseb> wolter:  yes PUEL
[23:08] <Tuxprobe> ello
[23:08] <wolter> sebsebseb, ok.
[23:08] <neura> teh great bodhi zazan
[23:08] <neura> lol
[23:08] <skchang> hi! i cannot resolve hostnames with ssh. resolveip and ping work correctly, but ssh gives me http://pastebin.com/m7b029bc2
[23:08] <sebsebseb> wolter:  then once you got the VM on there go in the settings for it
[23:09] <jarco> hello is it possible to look at and undo tyhe last updates on my ubuntu?
[23:09] <sebsebseb> wolter:  virtualbox is rather easy to use,  plus it has a great manual that you can get from there site
[23:09] <wolter> sebsebseb, nice... could you help me setup the booting of vista?
[23:09] <wolter> ah ok
[23:09] <Tuxprobe> can someone direct me to a patch of either HAL og NetworkManager, since my iwlagn wireless driver _refuses to go into ON state after switching it OFF, then ON via rfkill..
[23:09] <sebsebseb> wolter:   I can VNC  :D    and over my SSH :)  so it's encrypted.   you know what that means?
[23:10] <qcjn> hi, i was listening on a podcast that it's useful & helping to use midnight commander. So i'd like to try it. I don't see it in Ubuntu Synaptic
[23:10] <wolter> sebsebseb, not at all hahaha
[23:10] <Tuxprobe> i tried removing, then reinserting iwlagn no change - ive tried forcing a '0' into /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwlagn/0000\:03\:00.0/rfkill/rfkill0/state, no change..
[23:10] <sebsebseb> wolter:  remote connecting :)   then do stuff with people, when I have access to there computer, and use mouse and keyboard and do stuff with them.   great for total Linux noobs :)  to get them set up with it rather nicely
[23:11] <wolter> sebsebseb, well, don't call me a linux noob, i would appreciate it, for I am not one of those. But, yes, I think I can trust you hehe.
[23:11] <sebsebseb> wolter: oh you want me to VNC you?
[23:12] <wolter> sebsebseb, well, you could, if the thing gets complicated.
[23:12] <compengi> i want to set a crontab on every 1 minute to execute a php file, is this correct in this case "1 0 * * * /usr/bin/php /path/to/file.php"?
[23:12] <sebsebseb> wolter:  probably not for Virtualbox
[23:12] <wolter> sebsebseb, but i'd like to test it... what do i have to do?
[23:12] <jarco> as usual when you really really need it: No support for the difficult ones :p
[23:12] <sebsebseb> wolter: download from there site   http://www.virtualbox.org  and obvisouly you want for Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex,  that's the one your on yeah?
[23:13] <sebsebseb> wolter: make sure it's not the open source one as I already said
[23:13] <sebsebseb> wolter: hell you could get that from the repo, but it lacks features you would want
[23:13] <wolter> sebsebseb, dont worry, i took care of that, as I said before I am not a linux noob =D
[23:13] <jarco> hello is it possible to look at and undo the last updates on my ubuntu?
[23:13] <sebsebseb> wolter: and install the Deb and I am going to assume you know how
[23:14] <wolter> sebsebseb, ok, but what do i have to do so you can vnc me?
[23:14] <sebsebseb> wolter:   let's go private now I think
[23:15] <wolter> sebsebseb, hahah yes
[23:16] <ryanprior> I've got a computer which boots up and, after showing the POST screen, goes to a blank black screen with a cursor in the top left corner. I cannot boot from a recovery CD because it also refuses to go into the BIOS menu -- I can press F2 and it says "entering setup", then goes to the black screen with cursor. Does anyone have suggestions?
[23:16] <gordonjcp> ryanprior: it's knackered
[23:16] <Izinucs> How do I conditionally paint a cell in Oo's Sheet a specific color based on another cell reference?
[23:17] <gordonjcp> ryanprior: remove *everything* from the machine except the CPU and one stick of memory
[23:17] <Izinucs> oops.. wrong channel.. sorry
[23:17] <gordonjcp> ryanprior: then start adding stuff back in
[23:17] <gordonjcp> ryanprior: if that doesn't do it, try a different stick of memory
[23:17] <ryanprior> gordonjcp: Sounds like a fun afternoon. I'll invite my friends.
[23:18] <Dezine> I'm trying to upgrade from 8.04 but it won't let me. Checking the sources list it's all set to intrepid but checking the version with cat /etc/issue says 8.04? Dist-upgrade does not work.
[23:18] <jarco> hello is it possible to undo the last updates on my ubuntu?
[23:18] <gordonjcp> ryanprior: if you know a foreign language, you can try using some swear words you wouldn't normally use
[23:19] <Joker_-_> anyone here knows much about XFS problems? I'm watching ..................[...] go by for nearly an hour now.
[23:19] <Joker_-_> fsck.xfs Found candidate secondary superblock... unable to verify" time to time...
[23:20] <Joker_-_> fsck.xfs has nothing to do with that sentence btw, it's a wrong copy/paste.
[23:21] <skorasaurus> hi, i'm attempting to have my housemate, with 10.4 os x, access my shared files on intrepid, but he is unable to.
[23:21] <jarco> hello is it possible to undo the last updates on my ubuntu?
[23:21] <Schigh> Hey, does ssh/sshd keep a log of connections made? If so, where could I find it?
[23:21] <calliope> ok     so I finally completed the multi upgrades from 7.04 to 8.10. now I have a very strange and difficult visual display problem. When I move any window, most of the internals disappear or phase out and never refreshes. What am I supposed to do now?
[23:21] <erUSUL> jarco: generally not it is not possible. it is cousing problems ?
[23:21] <chi_> since upgrade to 8.10 messed up some stuff, i feel like installing it from scratch (or back to 8.04?)! _ my home partition is allready backed up... what should i also take care of????
[23:21] <jarco> yes erUSUL since i have updated last time i only get static sound (like on the radio)
[23:21] <O__o> #linux
[23:22] <calliope> damn I cant even clearly read what is showing in this channel

[23:35] <jarco> ah no
[23:36] <Drknezz> calliope: 8.10 introduced virtualization technologies
[23:36] <jarco> Drknezz, i know the one it is if you wanna know that
[23:36] <Drknezz> calliope: not all processors support it
[23:36] <yoyit2> erUSUL:  it says: 00:0f.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 20)
[23:37] <calliope> ok so how do I turn off virtualization then
[23:37] <Drknezz> jarco: im not sure, but try nvidia.com/drivers
[23:37] <thomas1978c> is there a code strand that will automatically detect and fix my audio issue?
[23:37] <Drknezz> calliope: it's kinda hard, you need to compile your own kernel ;)

[23:41] <calliope> fingers crossed of course ;^)
