[00:00] <stevencxr> i'm installing  adobeReader to my 8.10, the package offered on their offical website is rpm, so i use alien to convert it to deb, but after installation, i can't find the executable file?
[00:00] <TML> stevencxr: dpkg -L thepackagename
[00:00] <TML> it probably went somewhere under /opt or something
[00:00] <stevencxr> so i dpkg it?
[00:00] <stevencxr> and then?
[00:00] <stevencxr> reinstall it?
[00:01] <TML> "dpkg -L" lists all the files in a given package
[00:01] <Cpudan80> Why does everyone insist on using acrobat?
[00:01] <TML> Tells you where stuff got installed
[00:01] <stevencxr> coz...
[00:01] <Schuenemann> stevencxr,  why don't you use apt to install it?
[00:01] <Cpudan80> It's slow and not very good
[00:01] <stevencxr> i want to read chinese...
[00:01] <Cpudan80> evince is much better
[00:01] <redvamp128> TML i thought the alien (rmp to deb) would create the deb in the same folder where it was run.
[00:01] <Schuenemann> stevencxr,  and have you tried a different pdf reader? I prefer lighter ones
[00:01] <robf> apt is slow?
[00:01] <TML> redvamp128: It does
[00:01] <stevencxr> like ?
[00:01] <Cpudan80> Oh reading chinese ......
[00:01] <stevencxr> i just need one that supports chinese T_T
[00:02] <prince_jammys> TML: dpkg will work even on packages that weren't installed through apt?
[00:02] <stevencxr> the one come with ubuntu doesn't =(
[00:02] <Cpudan80> Schuenemann He wants to read chinese though ...
[00:02] <robf> prince_jammys: yes
[00:02] <TML> prince_jammys: Yes
[00:02] <prince_jammys> cool
[00:02] <jokkah> red linux
[00:02] <Schuenemann> Cpudan80,  ahh...
[00:02] <robf> dpkg can also pick up finer ladies than you or I at the cities top night spots.
[00:02] <Cpudan80> I think he might be stuck
[00:02] <MTecknology> makes sense
[00:02] <Schuenemann> well, better use apt anyway, right?
[00:03] <robf> Schuenemann: don't have to,  but doesn't hurt
[00:03] <robf> Schuenemann: or synaptic
[00:03] <ozl> How can I tell what xorg video driver I'm using (since x.org is practically empty)?
[00:03] <TML> Yeah, I'm not savvy enough on Ubuntu yet to know why his apt couldn't find it
[00:03] <robf> TML: whats he lookin for
[00:03] <prince_jammys> because he didn't install it through apt
[00:03] <ozl> xorg.conf*, rather
[00:03] <robf> TML: cos I was missin
[00:03] <Schuenemann> synaptic is apt
[00:03] <robf> oh
[00:04] <robf> ozl: xorg now runs confless so if its not there its doing xorg magic =\
[00:04] <robf> though .conf entries supercede confless generation I think
[00:04] <robf> it's mystical and shouldnt be done if you ask me,  but
[00:04] <robf> whatever
[00:04] <stevencxr> i tried dpkg -L adobereader-chs_8.1.3-1_i386.deb
[00:04] <ozl> robf, I'm trying to figure out what video driver it uses so I can take note if I install another distribution :)
[00:04] <stevencxr> but it says the package is not installed
[00:04] <robf> o
[00:05] <jokkah> anybody seen my dog ?
[00:05] <TML> Serge2: Not '.deb'
[00:05] <ozl> robf, it's an onboard ati card, and 3d works very well, so I'm just curious if there's a name for the driver or
[00:05] <TML> Try "dpkg -L adobereader-chs"
[00:05] <stevencxr> ok
[00:05] <robf> ah
[00:05] <robf> ozl: you using the restricted driver?
[00:05] <robf> it may be atis binary driver
[00:06] <ozl> robf, according to "Hardware drivers," it's not activated.
[00:06] <Schuenemann> it seems apt has only a few ocidental languages
[00:06] <robf> ozl: oh...
[00:06] <robf> ozl: hrm
[00:06] <stevencxr> it works, and then what should i do?
[00:06] <ozl> robf, which is amazing considering that if it's not restricted, must be open source? :)
[00:06] <robf> ozl: yep
[00:06] <robf> the OSS ati drivers aren't so bad
[00:07] <robf> the prop ati drivers are nicer imho though
[00:07] <Everton> Algum Brasileiro online ?
[00:07] <prince_jammys> !br | Everton
[00:07] <Everton> prince_jammys Obrigado. :)
[00:08] <prince_jammys> de nada
[00:08] <trent1> hi , i have a simply yes-no-answer question
[00:08] <ozl> robf, is the xorg conflessness a ubuntu-specific thing? or is this what xorg's switching to?
[00:09] <Wunderbar> kubuntu was okay but ubuntu is far less resource intensive
[00:09] <Wunderbar> a much better feel to it overall
[00:09] <mercutio22> I wonder why I get no desktop sounds?
[00:09] <binarymutant> mercutio22, do you get any sound?
[00:09] <trent1> is it possible to have two different wallpapers? like when you go from one workspace to another, can they independent background?
[00:09] <dalekleader> how do you get networkmanager to pickup a new interface
[00:10] <mercutio22> binarymutant> I do, yeah...
[00:10] <binarymutant> mercutio22, System->Preferences->Sound  might help
[00:10] <prince_jammys> trent1: i think they're implementing that in the next version of ubuntu. i don't know if it exists already (i don't have gnome)
[00:10] <binarymutant> trent1, not possible with gnome :/
[00:10] <trent1> bummer, ok. thank you
[00:11] <binarymutant> they should change that, I need different wallpapers
[00:11] <mercutio22> binarymutant> I checked. The checkboxes are all selected, yet I get no login sound and such
[00:11] <prince_jammys> i believe they are changing that
[00:11] <trent1> it would be nice to have a change of pace when swithing workspaces
[00:11] <Schuenemann> I would like gnome to confirm deletion of files
[00:11] <binarymutant> mercutio22, what's sound playback set to?
[00:11] <prince_jammys> !brainstorm | trent1 binarymutant : you can vote for it here
[00:12] <trent1> like "playspace" and "workspace"
[00:12] <trent1> i think i will
[00:12] <prince_jammys> there's already an entry for your idea. you can vote for it at that site
[00:12] <binarymutant> trent1, don't quote me on it but I think compiz might have a plugin that can do that
[00:12] <prince_jammys> trent1: check if it's in the 'to be implemented' list
[00:12] <trent1> ok
[00:12] <prince_jammys> i think it already is
[00:13] <mercutio22> binarymutant> Pulseaudio sound server. I do hear the sounds when I press the little play buttons, but they are not played otherwise
[00:13] <gmap> can I install and run ubuntu from a micro sd card?
[00:13] <binarymutant> mercutio22, maybe change to alsa
[00:13] <binarymutant> gmap, yes if your computer can boot from it
[00:14] <gmap> cool
[00:14] <ozl> does anyone know how to revert to how 8.04 handled a camera being plugged in? It takes forever on 8.10, but on 8.04, it would also instantly come up with something like "There are photos on the camera.. Import?"
[00:15] <mercutio22> binarymutant> If I do that, Its not possible to listen to sound from two apps simultaneously. I need that sometimes. Looks like I have to make a compromise...
[00:15] <Schuenemann> gmap,  www.pendrivelinux.com
[00:15] <ozl> now I see it mounts the camera and then unmounts it... and then freezes for like 2 minutes, and then f-spot finally loads (and freezes for a while as well), and THEN finally the pictures come up
[00:15] <binarymutant> mercutio22, you can't listen to 2 apps using alsa? that's kind of weird...
[00:15] <SirYoshua> Heey.
[00:16] <SirYoshua> Any one know how to set this damn ati mobility 9600 on 8.10
[00:16] <mercutio22> binarymutant> yep, if firefox has youtube on, then rhythmbox can't access the audio device.
[00:16] <brianwillis1984> hey need some help im installing ubuntu server in my server and well it wont autoconfig it..what should i do?
[00:16] <Cpudan80> set it to do what SirYoshua ?
[00:16] <Cpudan80> SirYoshua: just enable the restricted driver
[00:16] <binarymutant> mercutio22, that's weird I can
[00:16] <robf> ok upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10,   lets see if it works or not this time....
[00:16] <binarymutant> mercutio22, and I don't have pulseaudio
[00:16] <SirYoshua> I got prob with open Gl.
[00:17] <Schuenemann> is anybody here using the graphic card intel gma x3100? I would like your xorg.conf
[00:17] <SirYoshua> Iam using driver from ati website.
[00:17] <robf> if not I'm going to send a steamy pile of my dogs feces to the first ubuntu dev I can find's address
[00:17] <brianwillis1984> hey need some help im installing ubuntu server in my server and well it wont autoconfig it..what should i do?
[00:18] <binarymutant> robf, #ubuntu-motu :P
[00:18] <prince_jammys> brianwillis1984: try also the #ubuntu-server channel
[00:18] <brianwillis1984> the network'
[00:18] <robf> binarymutant: whats that
[00:18] <brianwillis1984> ok
[00:18] <mercutio22> binarymutant> Supposedly pulseaudio is implemented in order to solve these issues. Apparently in the process gnome system sounds are disabled
[00:18] <robf> binarymutant: mortuary?
[00:18] <prince_jammys> robf: masters of the universe
[00:18] <robf> oh
[00:18] <binarymutant> robf, where the devs hang out
[00:18] <robf> skeletor there?
[00:18] <redvamp128> robf:  or #ubuntu-dev
[00:19] <robf> I doubt they'd gimme their addys for a pack of poo
[00:19] <robf> I'll have to hunt it down on the net ;)
[00:19] <Schuenemann> prince_jammys,  that's he-man's cartoon
[00:19] <robf> it'll be all cakes if it works
[00:19] <binarymutant> robf, launchpad.net
[00:19] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: i know. it's also what motu stands for (no joke)
[00:19] <robf> by the power of greyskull... I upgrade my kernel
[00:20] <Joker_-_> ModeLine "768x576"     50.00  768  832  846 1000   576  590  595  630
[00:20] <SirYoshua> Go fck yourself.
[00:20] <robf> woah
[00:20] <Joker_-_> ModeLine "768x576"     50.00  768  832  846 1000   576  590  595  630
[00:20] <Joker_-_> DAMN
[00:20] <Joker_-_> (WW) RADEON(0): Option "TVOutput" is not used
[00:20] <robf> SirYoshua: such harsh language you otaku slag
[00:20] <Joker_-_> this is the line :P
[00:20] <dakira> hi.. can I temporarily disable a user? I'm not talking about setting the shell to /bin/false.. because in that case e.g. port forwarding with ssh would still be possible..
[00:21] <MoLoot> I'm contemplating a dedicated server for a webhosting co I'm starting... any reason why I wouldn't want to use Ubuntu 7.1?
[00:21] <robf> dakira: change his passwd
[00:21] <Joker_-_> I found a few answers from 3 years ago on howto make that tv-out work, but what about NOW?!
[00:21] <robf> dakira: or set to inactive
[00:21] <trent1> all i see are changeable background for the bootscreen and and a slide show wallpaper
[00:21] <prince_jammys> MoLoot: try at #ubuntu-server
[00:21] <robf> dakira: man usermod   (see -L option)
[00:21] <dixonionthedemon> so is anyone sure how to get a logitech quickcam messenger to work with ubuntu? i can get a video feed but its just static, which means that ubuntu is reading the camera, but not ... sumthing
[00:22] <trent1> but i may be wrong, if i dont find it can i post my idea?
[00:22] <trent1> I'm going to keep looking tho
[00:22] <Joker_-_> /var/logXorg.0.log: http://pastebin.com/f202cd9b8  -- pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/f392866b0
[00:22] <prince_jammys> trent1: yes. but i bet you anything it's already there. i saw it
[00:22] <trent1> http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/most_popular_this_month/2?keywords=background&tags=
[00:23] <trent1> 5th one done
[00:23] <trent1> down*
[00:23] <trent1> most similar one i can find at the moment
[00:24] <PocketIRC> anyone know if the logitech mx revolutions additional buttons work with stock ubuntu?
[00:24] <trent1> but i will definitely keep looking and wont post until i'm sure
[00:25] <oholiab> Hi, I'm trying to get dhcpd3 to serve up a bootable image using tftp
[00:25] <oholiab> but it's having none of it
[00:25] <Schuenemann> is anybody here using the graphic card intel gma x3100? I would like your xorg.conf
[00:25] <dakira> robf: thanks alot.. that was exactly what I was looking for.. passwd -l wouldn't do it because ssh key authentication would still be possible.. useradd -L and setting the expire does it!
[00:25] <Joker_-_> Please, I'm burnt: /var/logXorg.0.log: http://pastebin.com/f202cd9b8  --  /etc/X11/xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/f392866b0
[00:25] <robf> dakira: yeh
[00:25] <robf> np
[00:26] <zeeded> Yesterday night before I went to sleep I installed and setup a new GDM login screen. Now when I try to boot up it keeps me in the screen right before the login screen and will not load it. (The Beige colored screen). So my question is if there is any way to switch or disable the login screen from a terminal?
[00:26] <robf> dakira: also,  if you want to just lock his password
[00:26] <robf> dakira: go to his home dir and mv his keys
[00:26] <robf> dakira: I mean its not like you can't move the public keys out of there.
[00:27] <prince_jammys> trent1: you'll see it under "ideas in development". the title is "Different wallpapers on different monitors/workspace"
[00:27] <dakira> robf: ohh.. yeah.. didn't think of that.. stupid me ;)
[00:27] <robf> expiring his account works also
[00:27] <robf> or you could add a disallow in sshd conf for his user
[00:27] <Schuenemann> prince_jammys,  is there voting for implementing confirm-before-delete for nautilus?
[00:28] <robf> many routes to the same end
[00:28] <prince_jammys> Schuenemann: haven't seen that. there probably is
[00:28] <Mabus_> question: I want reinstall my OS, do I have to erase my hd first or will the ubuntu-setup do that?
[00:28] <weatherkid> Mabus_: it should do that
[00:28] <prince_jammys> Mabus_: the installer can do that
[00:28] <Mabus_> thx
[00:29] <dixon2008> so is anyone sure how to get a logitech quickcam messenger to work with ubuntu? i can get a video feed but its just static, which means that ubuntu is reading the camera, but not ... sumthing can anyone help me out with this, if so plz pm me
[00:29] <weatherkid> !botsnack
[00:30] <laughalots> Got an interesting question involving folder permissions if anyone has the time
[00:30] <xSlack_> can someone here give me a hand with mySQL
[00:30] <_C_Kode> Just ask!
[00:30] <prince_jammys> ask away
[00:30] <Schuenemann> spit it out
[00:30] <weatherkid> laughalots: go
[00:31] <laughalots> Well, I am unable to open my cd to install via wine (permission denied both in terminal and using GUI)
[00:31] <stevencxr> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15130 2008-10-07 22:59 acroread*   what does the * mean?
[00:31] <_C_Kode> xSlack, there is a MySQL channel, but I *might* be able to help you
[00:31] <laughalots> I can GKSudo to see the folder contents
[00:31] <laughalots> but I can't reset the folder permissions
[00:31] <Scunizi> If I configure/make/make install.. will the package be included in synaptic or apt to uninstall? or do I have to create a .deb to do that?
[00:31] <zeeded> stevencxr: * usually means "all"
[00:31] <_C_Kode> they are owned by root.  You must be root to change them
[00:31] <laughalots> I can install using GKsudo, but it installs to the wrong directories with WINE
[00:31] <zeeded> Yesterday night before I went to sleep I installed and setup a new GDM login screen. Now when I try to boot up it keeps me in the screen right before the login screen and will not load it. (The Beige colored screen). So my question is if there is any way to switch or disable the login screen from a terminal?
[00:32] <prince_jammys> stevencxr: it appears you have a file named 'acroread*' (literal asterisk)
[00:32] <laughalots> Like I said C-Kode--I can gksudo in, but when I can't change the folder permissions
[00:32] <Pici> Scunizi: You may be able to make uninstall, or make remove. But normally, no entry in apt/dpkg. You may want to look into !checkinstall
[00:32] <Schuenemann> Scunizi,  there is generally a target called uninstall. So, make uninstall
[00:32] <weatherkid> sudo {your app here} to run as sudo laughalots
[00:32] <laughalots> (I'm on my own home computer)
[00:32] <laughalots> when I sudo, it won't run
[00:32] <laughalots> gksudo is the only way I've been able to get it to work
[00:32] <trent1> wow i feel like my IQ dropped a few points back there, thanks for pointing this out, I will vote
[00:32] <weatherkid> kernel maybe then?
[00:32] <stevencxr> the acroread* is under bin, so it's this mean this is the one i should run the adobereader?
[00:32] <Y3K_ssh> hm, anyone know of some terminal based network manager?
[00:33] <laughalots> using a new install of ubuntu 8.10
[00:33] <laughalots> desktop
[00:33] <Scunizi> Thanks Pici & Schuenemann .. I think checkinstall might be the way .. I might just use this program for a while and when I want to dump it the original source won't be around..
[00:33] <Pici> laughalots: How are you trying to change the permissions?
[00:33] <prince_jammys> stevencxr: there's something wrong there. you must have run a command that named the file this way, or this is a weird hack
[00:33] <prince_jammys> stevencxr: i have never seen a literal '*' as part of an executable's file name
[00:33] <stevencxr> ..... so what should i do here? i just wanna run adobbereader 8 T_T
[00:33] <binarymutant> how long are LTS supported?
[00:34] <laughalots> Pici--its been a few days since I've looked at the issue specifically--don't remember the exact process. I was using the advice in Ubuntu pocket guide
[00:34] <mroc> simple question...what are files with a ~ at the end all about? i thought i deleted a file, but i see a file with the same name and a ~ at the end that i hadn't noticed before.
[00:34] <genii> binarydigit: 3 years on gui version, 5 years on server versiojn
[00:34] <genii> *version
[00:34] <Pici> laughalots: Oh, I see, you're trying to run an installer through Wine. You may want to ask in #winehq as we do not support the actuall process of running apps in Wine here. Also /msg ubottu appdb
[00:34] <binarymutant> genii, so is Dapper still being supported?
[00:34] <prince_jammys> mroc: they are often backup files created by text editors such as vim
[00:34] <stevencxr> xiaoran@xiaoran-laptop:/opt/Adobe/Reader8/bin$ ls -laF
[00:34] <stevencxr> total 24
[00:34] <stevencxr> drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 2009-02-03 16:03 ./
[00:34] <stevencxr> drwxr-xr-x 6 root root  4096 2009-02-03 16:03 ../
[00:34] <stevencxr> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15130 2008-10-07 22:59 acroread*
[00:34] <FloodBot1> stevencxr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:34] <laughalots> k
[00:35] <stevencxr> sorry , Mr. bot
[00:35] <genii> binarydigit: The desktop version for a couple more months. The server til 2011
[00:35] <laughalots> kind of, but the biggest problem is that I don't have permission to the folder
[00:35] <mroc> prince_jammys: so, certainly safe to delete, especially in the case of the regular file existing and saved?
[00:35] <prince_jammys> mroc: they are safe to delete once you're done editing, or if you don't want the file any more. they are created automatically by some editors
[00:35] <trent1> thank you for the help. made the jump like a week ago and am still getting used to it
[00:35] <trent1> and now i have to go, bye
[00:35] <prince_jammys> mroc: yes
[00:35] <mroc> prince_jammys: thanks.
[00:36] <Harigh> i have a question for anyone to answer. I completely formatted my second HDD to install ubuntu, if i want to use it again in windows do i need to reformat it into NTFS?
[00:36] <binarymutant> wow how does Gaim still get support?
[00:36] <weatherkid> Harigh: yup
[00:36] <binarymutant> err wow how does Gaim still get support in dapper?
[00:36] <Harigh> thank you
[00:36] <Pici> binarymutant: 'Support' only means security fixes generally.
[00:36] <prince_jammys> mroc: the editor should have an option to remove that behavior, if you don't like it
[00:36] <stevencxr> http://paste.ubuntu.com/113397/
[00:36] <stevencxr> here is the paste, how can i run this file?
[00:36] <Harigh> do i need to remount it in windows and if so how would i?
[00:37] <mroc> prince_jammys: good to know.  i'll look through some options/preferences.
[00:37] <prince_jammys> stevencxr: try to run your prog as 'acroread*'
[00:37] <Schuenemann> Harigh,  if you want windows to access it, you should use a suitable FS
[00:37] <dakira> robf: oh.. I just figured out "passwd -l" sets the EXPIRE_DATE to 1 und -u resets it.. so that is the way to go, I guess
[00:37] <prince_jammys> stevencxr: or acroread\*
[00:37] <thomc> Hey I'm trying to get lm-sensors setup but it only detects cpu temperatures, nothing else. Is there a way I can get it to show more info - fan speeds etc.?
[00:38] <Harigh> a suitable what?
[00:38] <Schuenemann> file system
[00:38] <Harigh> oh ok
[00:38] <stevencxr> could i have a full command of how to do this? please?
[00:39] <prince_jammys> stevencxr: simply type ./acroread\*  in that directory
[00:39] <Harigh> one last question... is there a way to make GRUB boot an OS by default rather than needing to pick one each time?
[00:39] <prince_jammys> stevencxr: the funny name is almost definitely the result of a flawed command.
[00:39] <_moro_bana_> any VHDL  environments  in ubuntu?
[00:39] <Halitech> Harigh, just edit grub
[00:40] <Harigh> how?
[00:40] <stevencxr> xiaoran@xiaoran-laptop:/opt/Adobe/Reader8/bin$ ./acroread\*
[00:40] <stevencxr> bash: ./acroread*: No such file or directory
[00:40] <prince_jammys> stevencxr: are you in the directory where that file is?
[00:40] <stevencxr> yeah
[00:40] <Halitech> Harigh, what OS do you want it to boot?
[00:40] <Pici> _moro_bana_: apt-cache search vhdl gives me a few results, ghdl for example
[00:40] <prince_jammys> stevencxr: don't they have proper directions for this in the adobe web site?
[00:40] <Harigh> Vista
[00:41] <dixon2008> so is anyone sure how to get a logitech quickcam messenger to work with ubuntu? i can get a video feed but its just static, which means that ubuntu is reading the camera, but not ... sumthing can anyone help me out with this, if so plz pm me
[00:41] <stevencxr> lets me check
[00:41] <stevencxr> thanks
[00:41] <Halitech> Harigh, then you would set vista as the default in grub
[00:41] <prince_jammys> stevencxr: ok, in that directory, type:  file acroread\*
[00:41] <Harigh> thats what i was asking how do i do that
[00:41] <mercutio22> i can't receive skype calls when Rhythmbox is on. Anyone here found a fix for that? I know the forums have a lot of info, but I never got it to work following those
[00:41] <vock> Just wondering about how to get a windows computer to see my samba share on ubuntu? I'm pretty sure the samba setup is correct, I can connect to it from my Xbox XBMC, but the windows computer can't see it
[00:42] <_moro_bana_> Pici: forgot my friend aptitude-search, thanks for reminding me :)
[00:43] <Halitech> Harigh, follow the directions here - http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm#osprefernc

[00:47] <_C_Kode> I can't for the life of me figure out how to add virtual desktops.  (not extend the current desktop)  Can someone point me in the right direction?
[00:47] <_C_Kode> This was never an issue before
[00:48] <Dmole> kbrosnan: was looking for something more permanent as I have to do this every time I turn on my laptop
[00:48] <_moro_bana_> i have problems with my audio, skype cant call and  bad movie-sound play, upgraded to ibex yesterday over the internet. advice?
[00:49] <Dmole> _C_Kode: workspaces?
[00:49] <vock> can anyone think of a reason why my linux computer can't ping my windows computer, but windows can ping linux?
[00:49] <_C_Kode> subnet not set right?
[00:49] <nDuff> vock, almost certainly firewall settings
[00:49] <n8tuser> vock-> same subnet?
[00:49] <petllama> firewall settings on the windows box blocking icmp?
[00:49] <laughalots> When I try to change folder permission using sudo chmod, I get a Read-only file system error
[00:49] <Neros> I have a problem.... when booting ubuntu if I dont hold down the enter key the whole time it hangs
[00:50] <petllama> yea.. what nDuff said
[00:50] <SirYoshua> Because if u wanna Ping windows u need to use "pong" instead.
[00:50] <_C_Kode> one of those two are probably right
[00:50] <vock> nDuff,n8tuser,_C_Kode; it's all automatic DHCP
[00:50] <zerko6> sup people
[00:50] <laughalots> yet unless i sudo, I'm unable to view any files in the folder
[00:50] <SirYoshua> Then U need to hold enter.
[00:50] <nDuff> vock, yar, but Windows has its built-in firewall
[00:50] <_C_Kode> I can't for the life of me figure out how to add virtual desktops.  (not extend the current desktop)  Can someone point me in the right direction?
[00:50] <petllama> if subnet wasnt set right, windows wouldnt be able tp ping the nix box
[00:50] <nDuff> vock, IIRC, it blocks ICMP out-of-the-box.
[00:50] <vock> nDuff:ah crap, forgot about that
[00:50] <n8tuser> vock -> you have xp sp2 and above? by default it will not respond to ping
[00:50] <Scunizi> I need gtk+ 2.10+ to compile something.. looking in synaptic there's lots of gtk references.. which one is it?
[00:50] <vock> n8tuser: also didn't know that
[00:51] <Pici> laughalots: You can't change the file permissions on a file on a read-only device, like a cd
[00:51] <_C_Kode> petllama: not exactly true in all cases.  You would be surprised what works with an incorrect subnet applied
[00:51] <laughyn1nj4> is there some way i can see what kind of hard-drive i have using the command line?
[00:51] <vock> In either case, if I can get pinged that's sufficient to say that the computers can see each other probably?
[00:51] <Scunizi> laughalots: yep.. sudo lshw
[00:51] <SirYoshua> Open pc, go look there.
[00:51] <Neros> I have a problem.... when booting ubuntu if I dont hold down the enter key the whole time it hangs
[00:51] <laughalots> K, what is lshw?
[00:51] <_C_Kode> smartd if it's installed
[00:51] <SirYoshua> THEN HOLD THIS ENTER.
[00:51] <genii> laughalots: sudo lshw | more
[00:51] <laughalots> k
[00:52] <zerko6> does anyone here rent dedicated servers?
[00:52] <mercutio22> laughyn1nj4>  "sudo fdisk -l" will list every driver and partition you have
[00:52] <lwhacker> trying to get xinerama running, fglrxinfo just outputs errors, is the ati driver not installed correctly? any ideas?: http://paste.ubuntu.com/113401/
[00:52] <Dmole> Neros: look in your log files for errors
[00:52] <Pici> laughalots: The lshw answer was for laughyn1nj4, not you.
[00:52] <petllama> _C_Kode, how would that be possible? wouldnt it be on a seperate network than the machine correctly configured... they wouldnt have a route to each other
[00:52] <genii> laughalots: It's: LiSt HardWare
[00:52] <laughalots> ah
[00:52] <Pici> genii: laughyn1nj4 not laughalots
[00:52] <laughalots> hahaha
[00:52] <Neros> Dmole there is no error.... it just dosent go
[00:52] <laughalots> fun times
[00:52] <genii> Pici: Apologies. Tab-complete, etc
[00:52] <Jeffed> Hey guys, I'm running a fujitsu T4010 tablet and ubuntu is making this high pitched noise either through the speakers or headphones, even if sound is muted. I've tried a few of the things i've been able to find on the site. Anyone have any ideas?
[00:52] <Neros> and its not with just ubuntu... any *nix does it
[00:53] <laughalots> well, is there any way to view a read only device, like a cd, when the folder permission does not allow me?
[00:53] <_C_Kode> petllana: poor programming.  I've seen it happen.
[00:53] <SirYoshua> Disconnect the speakers.
[00:53] <Dmole> Neros: you checked all 4 log files and there was nothing in them?!
[00:53] <vock> jeffed: Turn off the digital output
[00:53] <petllama> weird
[00:53] <laughyn1nj4> hmm .... fdisk -l gives a list of partitions ... but are they ata?  scsi?
[00:53] <Jeffed> but i want to use the audio
[00:53] <dixon2008> so is anyone sure how to get a logitech quickcam messenger to work with ubuntu? i can get a video feed but its just static, which means that ubuntu is reading the camera, but not ... sumthing can anyone help me out with this, if so plz pm me
[00:53] <Neros> Dmole No errors..... ifi  hold down enter everything starts normally.... other wise its just a hang
[00:53] <vock> Jeffed: It won't turn off the audio, just digital audio, which you probably don't have anyway
[00:53] <genii> laughyn1nj4: You have some scsi host adapter?
[00:53] <Jeffed> thanks vock, i'll try that
[00:53] <Pici> laughalots: sudo -i will give you an 'interactive' root session. Is that what you're looking for?
[00:53] <Dmole> Jeffed: try the mute option then look for new drivers
[00:54] <laughalots> that might work pici
[00:54] <laughalots> I'll try it
[00:54] <_C_Kode> how do you add virtual desktops to 8.10?  (not extended)
[00:54] <laughyn1nj4> genii: i dont' know .. i got this machine by sheer luck ... it was free
[00:54] <Dmole> Neros: and what is in the log files?
[00:54] <Neros> Dmole just the normal startup routine....
[00:54] <laughyn1nj4> so i put ubuntu on it ... so the OS is free to
[00:54] <Neros> Dmole no errors....
[00:54] <zerko6> no one here rents a dedicated linux server?
[00:54] <laughalots> pici, do you know if I use WINE to install a program if it will install to the root folder again if I use the sudo -i
[00:55] <MrGoodIdea> Zerko6 - NO ONE RENTS.
[00:55] <Dmole> Neros: I would paste the boot log then ask for help
[00:55] <centaur5> I like how easy Ubuntu has made windows file sharing through samba.  Although I don't see that it automatically adds any users to smbpasswd so I was wondering if there is a way to do that through the gui?
[00:55] <dark_and_sexyB81> Hey guys.  I've got a little catch 22 here.  I need to install restricted wireless drivers on a laptop, but I can't because I'm not connected to the internet.  What do I need besides the fwcutter package?
[00:56] <dumb_dumb> i`m new @ ubuntu
[00:56] <MrGoodIdea> dark_and_sexy U NEED ANOTHER PC WITH NET :)
[00:56] <dumb_dumb> i`m getting dificulties on installing nvidia on my laptop
[00:56] <dumb_dumb> any one could help
[00:56] <laughalots> D and Secy
[00:56] <laughalots> Sexy rather
[00:56] <mercutio22> dumb_dumb> try envy
[00:56] <laughyn1nj4> i'm having trouble getting my OTHER ubuntu box to see the samba shares on my main ubuntu box
[00:56] <laughalots> try this:
[00:56] <genii> laughyn1nj4: Because these days Ubuntu maps ATA and other drives to a SCSI driver layer. So they all seem like sdX  (SCSI Device A, B, C, etc). But if you have a real SCSI card they are really SCSI devices
[00:56] <laughalots> plug in with a wired network connection
[00:57] <laughyn1nj4> ahh... so there really is no way to tell if they're scsi or not ... k
[00:57] <dark_and_sexyB81> I am on a pc with net right now, I want to know what packages I need to download to my flash drive
[00:57] <vock> Okay, so got the Windows computer nad the Ubuntu computer pinging each other, samba server running, and the ubuntu computer has been connected to by XBMC before and still works, how do you get the windows computer to see the samba share? Tried just doing \\linuxboxip\sharedfolder, and it says it can't find it
[00:57] <genii> laughyn1nj4: lspci   should tell if you have a SCSI host adapter or no
[00:57] <laughyn1nj4> vock: you running xp or vista?
[00:57] <vock> laughyn1nj4, running xp
[00:58] <vock> laughyn1nj4, sp3
[00:58] <theczar> hey does anyone know how to get sshd to listen on another port, i edited /etc/ssh/sshd_config but no luck
[00:58] <storrgie1> does the bibliography database even work in OO 3.0?
[00:58] <vock> congratz
[00:58] <vock> err wrong window
[00:58] <Scunizi> I need gtk+ 2.10+ to compile something.. looking in synaptic there's lots of gtk references.. which one is it?
[00:59] <sancas> i need help
[00:59] <genii> theczar: Did you yet: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart                   ?
[00:59] <sancas> mi sound card not found
[00:59] <laughyn1nj4> ok .. i have SOME experience getting Vista to see samba, but windoz is always tricky in the networking dept.
[00:59] <austin666> Hello
[00:59] <theczar> genii yes of course
[00:59] <laughyn1nj4> Vock: what is the actual NAME  of your share ... could be different than the folder name
[00:59] <laughyn1nj4> actually...don't tell me, just keep it in mind
[00:59] <dumb_dumb> i already download nvidia driver
[00:59] <evol> hi room, could anyone tell me why my printer is printing ascii chars instead of the text in document heh?
[00:59] <dumb_dumb> and success
[00:59] <austin666> anyone know anything about ubuntu server eddition
[00:59] <vock> laughyn1nj4, the computer name is Ubuntu, workgroup is Abode and shared folder is the \media folder
[01:00] <laughyn1nj4> vock then try \\linuxbox\shareNAME
[01:00] <KenBW2> i have an error at login: "Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds..." Error: "mkdtemp: Private socket dir: permission denied". What's causing this and how can i fix it?
[01:00] <binarymutant> when's the last time Dapper had a security update?
[01:00] <genii> theczar: Changing the port there should be all you require. You are going pc-pc within a lan or entering from internet to a lan?
[01:00] <laughyn1nj4> vock: samba lets you name the share regardless of what the actual folder name is ... it's that name you need to look for in your nw resources on the windows box
[01:00] <laughyn1nj4> brb
[01:01] <dumb_dumb> but after i download update the kernel
[01:01] <dumb_dumb> my nvidia not working
[01:01] <dumb_dumb> any could help me?
[01:01] <theczar> genii well the computers are on my LAN but I'm issuing the command with the domain name so it should be going out and coming back in
[01:02] <binarymutant> dumb_dumb, what do you mean not working?
[01:02] <dumb_dumb> i can enable my nvidia driver on the hardware driver
[01:02] <dumb_dumb> i can`t sory
[01:02] <theczar> genii I keep getting:  ssh: connect to host siliconsoundninja.com port 442: Connection refused
[01:02] <laughyn1nj4> genii: thanks...
[01:02] <vock> laughyn1nj4, made the share name media to point to the media directory, still can't see it
[01:02] <evol> printer problem anyone? printing ascii chars instead of the text in doc?
[01:03] <laughyn1nj4> vock: have you opened "my network places"
[01:03] <genii> theczar: Check port-forwarding on router etc. Also test lan-lan by using IP specifically
[01:03] <vock> laughyn1nj4, yeah, it's empty
[01:03] <vbabiy> Doe any one else have problems with ubuntu 8.10 networking on an virtual box vm
[01:03] <theczar> genii: OF COURSE!!! port forwarding, thanks so much
[01:03] <genii> theczar: np\
[01:03] <dumb_dumb> when i try to install it again it say already in the newest version
[01:03] <laughyn1nj4> vock: it could be a firewall setting on the ubuntu machine ... are you useing 'firestarter' by chance?
[01:04] <dumb_dumb> i`m using 8.10
[01:04] <vock> laughyn1nj4, yeah, have firestarter
[01:04] <webbhawk_h4x0r15> hello, is "gnome do" a part of gnome?
[01:04] <laughyn1nj4> make sure your rules allow connections FROM your windows box's IP
[01:04] <dumb_dumb> binarymuttant could you help me?
[01:04] <binarymutant> dumb_dumb, open a terminal and type `gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf` and then pastebin it to paste.ubuntu.com so I can see please
[01:04] <vbabiy> webbhawk_h4x0r15: npe
[01:04] <dumb_dumb> ok
[01:05] <prince_jammys> !medibuntu > stevencxr1
[01:05] <_C_Kode> anyone have the compiz cube working on 8.10?
[01:05] <binarymutant> _C_Kode, use ccsm to do it
[01:05] <_C_Kode> Hmm. I can't get the virtual desktops to work at all.
[01:05] <webbhawk_h4x0r15> vbabiy: is gnome Do FLOSS ?
[01:06] <dumb_dumb> http://pastebin.com/m17a427d1
[01:06] <KenBW2> should "sudo rm -rf /tmp" cause any problems?
[01:06] <vbabiy> webbhawk_h4x0r15: yeap
[01:06] <_C_Kode> I have ccsm installed, but my VDs don't work
[01:06] <vock> laughyn1nj4, yeah, that IP is allowed, but it's not working still :(
[01:06] <_C_Kode> I cannot select them
[01:06] <laughyn1nj4> vock: what are you using to config the samba server?  are you just editing the file manually?
[01:06] <petllama> _C_Kode, i got compiz dube (and cylinder) runnign on 8.10
[01:06] <petllama> cube
[01:07] <vock> laughyn1nj4, yeah, manually configured it, and the windows IP is on the IP allowed list
[01:07] <_C_Kode> I don't even know what dube is or cylinder for that matter.
[01:07] <Jack_Sparrow> _C_Kode If your video card drivers are not working right you will not get effects
[01:07] <binarymutant> dumb_dumb, I don't see any problems with it, how do you know it's not working?
[01:07] <petllama> compiz cube... and it deforms it into a cylinder if you want
[01:07] <twistedghost_> what is the best file transfer program for me to transfer files from my linix to my friends windows computer?
[01:07] <_C_Kode> Jack_Sparrow: I have effects, just not virtual desktops
[01:08] <Jack_Sparrow> 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
[01:08] <_C_Kode> or I can't select them.  I can add them
[01:08] <laughyn1nj4> k...well you must allow guests also ... not sure what to tell you how to edit the file since I use the web-interface to configure my samba....you should try it...i t makes it much easier
[01:08] <twistedghost_> nick TwistedGhost
[01:08] <twistedghost_> opps
[01:08] <binarymutant> lols
[01:09] <vock> laughyn1nj4, I have guests ok on all the shared folders too,
[01:09] <rconan> hello there, is there a way I can make a script start a terminal in a particular place on the screen or at a particular size?
[01:09] <rconan> (gnome-terminal that is_
[01:09] <laughyn1nj4> is it marked as "available" ... i think default is NO ... must have that set to YES
[01:09] <dumb_dumb> binarymutant do you mind if i pm you?
[01:09] <rconan> s/_/)
[01:10] <vock> laughyn1nj4, what web-interface do you use? Maybe i can try that if it's a bit easier to configure and compare the files?
[01:10] <binarymutant> dumb_dumb, it's better to do it in #ubuntu so that other people with the same problems can hear the answers
[01:10] <_C_Kode> Jack_Sparrow: On Virtual Desktops it won't allow me to change it from 1.  I can set Virtual Size to whatever I want
[01:10] <rdw200169> rconan, see gnome-terminal --help
[01:10] <Jack_Sparrow> rconan Window placement. System... Pref...CompizConfig... Window Management... Place Windows... Placement Mode... "Centered".. to have applications open centered in the screen and not half hiding under the top menu
[01:10] <rdw200169> rconan, also, you can use the --geometry option for gnome related apps
[01:10] <Jack_Sparrow> _C_Kode Perhaps /join #Compiz
[01:10] <dumb_dumb> ok no prob, I keep get error after rebooting the ubuntu
[01:10] <laughyn1nj4> vock: i pm'd you
[01:10] <_C_Kode> ok
[01:11] <dumb_dumb> and it say error on x server configuration
[01:11] <marek_> hi, how can i compile latest blueman?
[01:11] <rconan> rdw200169: liking the look of --geometry
[01:11] <Jack_Sparrow> !compile
[01:11] <twistedghost_> whats the easyest way for me to send files with ubuntu
[01:11] <Schuenemann> has anybody sucessfully configured the intel gma x3100 graphic card? I can't get mine done
[01:11] <rconan> rdw200169: shame I can't do it for ff or tb
[01:11] <david> hello
[01:11] <twistedghost_> hi
[01:12] <marek_> Jack_Sparrow ups i forget to mention
[01:12] <dumb_dumb> is there a correlation on kernel version to?
[01:12] <twistedghost_> whats the easyest way for me to send files with ubuntu?\
[01:12] <marek_> there is no .configure script
[01:12] <dumb_dumb> since after rebooting i got 2 kernel
[01:12] <Guest86407> if i have manually installed the ati drivers from the ati webpage, do i need the package xserver-xorg-video-ati and xserver-xorg-video-intel?
[01:12] <Curseorange> Hello.
[01:12] <marek_> i downloaded source with svn
[01:12] <binarymutant> dumb_dumb, ok pastebin this /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:12] <ryanprior> Whenever I reboot my computer, my software audio resets to full volume, which is bad because then my speakers are very loud. How can I make it remember the volume between sessions?
[01:12] <Jack_Sparrow> twistedghost_ Please hold down the repeating, every few minutes is more than often enoough
[01:12] <dumb_dumb> with the old kernel it works fine
[01:12] <dumb_dumb> on the new kernel it error
[01:13] <Guest86407> if i have manually installed the ati drivers from the ati webpage, do i need the package xserver-xorg-video-ati and xserver-xorg-video-intel?
[01:13] <binarymutant> dumb_dumb, shouldn't matter
[01:13] <twistedghost_> Jack_Sparrow yes but noone is answering
[01:13] <rconan> rdw200169: do you know much about the --geometry option, it says to see the "X" manpage but I don't appear to have it
[01:13] <Jack_Sparrow> !patience
[01:13] <binarymutant> dumb_dumb, but paste /var/log/Xorg.0.log into paste.ubuntu.com for me to see
[01:14] <Guest86407> if i have manually installed the ati drivers from the ati webpage, do i need the package xserver-xorg-video-ati and xserver-xorg-video-intel?
[01:14] <Curseorange> So would someone please take the time to help me for a little bit?
[01:14] <binarymutant> !ask | Curseorange
[01:14] <Sylphid> ryanprior, just a sec... ran accross this a few days ago .. .looking for a link
[01:14] <Curseorange> :p lol bots
[01:14] <booge> does anyone use mythtv as a dvr? looking to build a dvr and want to know which software is the best
[01:14] <kernel> :)
[01:14] <ryanprior> Guest86407: Manually installing the drivers is not a great idea. I suggest you uninstall them and then use the restricted driver manager to install the needed driver.
[01:15] <Jack_Sparrow> booge /join #mythtv

[01:15] <Berserkur> I installed linux-crashdump today because I'm getting random kernel panics. I installed the package and rebooted and left the computer running. Now when I came back the kernel had paniced but did not boot into the "panic-kernel" to save the core. Do I need to do take additional steps to enable this?
[01:15] <Curseorange> ok so im wondering all about shells im new to the whole linux thing (obviously and im trying to open a wargame, link is posted, i want to know how to open this. http://www.intruded.net/leviathan.html
[01:15] <Guest86407> ryanprior, but they work flawlessy and i would like to keep them. is it safe to remove thoose 2 packages?
[01:16] <Sylphid> ryanprior, sudo alsactl store 0
[01:16] <binarymutant> dumb_dumb, where'd you get the new kernel? did you compile it yourself or what?
[01:17] <dumb_dumb> no after i install the restricted driver
[01:17] <ryanprior> Curseorange: I suggest reading Rute (http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz) to learn how Linux systems work, including how the shell works.
[01:17] <dumb_dumb> it`s there buy them self
[01:17] <rdw200169> rconan, try this: gnome-terminal --geometry 100x10-10-10
[01:17] <dumb_dumb> i don`t now how
[01:17] <Curseorange> Okay, i will give that a try thank you.
[01:17] <rdw200169> rconan, that makes  a 100x10 window 10 pixels from the lower right corner on ea. axis
[01:17] <binarymutant> dumb_dumb, did you update your system?
[01:17] <_C_Kode> Jack_Sparrow: It helps to ask in the right channel ;)
[01:18] <dumb_dumb> not yet
[01:18] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[01:18] <ryanprior> Guest86407: "It works" isn't a very good answer. It may work now, but at some point the system may make a decision based on the drivers it thinks you have, things will break, and we will have trouble helping you because you didn't install the drivers the "right" way.
[01:18] <Jack_Sparrow> # Free Ubuntu Book:    http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download.html
[01:18] <binarymutant> dumb_dumb, well update your system and then see if it works, if not tell me
[01:18] <dcider> going to install ubuntu, is there a way to have /home in its own partition?
[01:18] <dumb_dumb> ok
[01:18] <Jack_Sparrow> dcider yes, easy to do in the installer
[01:19] <ryanprior> Sylphid: That's neat. Do you know how I can make the sound controller applet do that automatically?
[01:19] <Jack_Sparrow> dcider If you premake your partitions you can assign them as needed in the installer
[01:19] <Berserkur> Does noone know anything about kernel panics around here?
[01:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Berserkur they are not common
[01:19] <Curseorange> Also, i have this being run on a live Cd, how do i save settings so when i pull up ubuntu on the live Cd again it stays?
[01:19] <vbabiy> what files says the eth0 belongs to this nic card
[01:19] <dcider> Jack_Sparrow: thx
[01:19] <rconan> rdw200169: doesn't seem to be able to make the y bigger than 52
[01:20] <rconan> is this a known bug
[01:20] <rconan> ?
[01:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Curseorange You need a recordable media.. persistence mode
[01:20] <Sylphid> ryanprior, looking for another link ... there was one that adjusts the volume immediatly after loading the sound module
[01:20] <redvamp128> ryanprior:  try this page-- for your sound issue though you have to set the volume where you want it first Volume Control does not save my settings after reboot - Ubuntu Forums <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=207107>
[01:20] <ryanprior> Berserkur: We usually don't have a whole lot of kernel hackers in here. If you're looking for expertise, mailing lists (or possibly ##linux) are better options.
[01:20] <KenBW2> I'm planning to sync my .purple folder across two computers (using Dropbox). Should this cause any problems if either/both are running simoultaneously?
[01:20] <Sylphid> ryanprior, just fyi thought this looks to be a known bug
[01:20] <Curseorange> Jack please be a little more in depth.
[01:21] <dumb_dumb> binarymutant  : but why on the old kernel it works fine?
[01:21] <Jack_Sparrow> !persistence
[01:21] <redvamp128> ryanprior:  set the sound where you want it then run this command if you are using alsa" sudo alsactl store 0"
[01:21] <dumb_dumb> i already try to remove the driver using apt-get remove
[01:21] <binarymutant> dumb_dumb, because a driver is actually just a modification for a kernel (short answer)
[01:21] <eidolon> hi folks - anyone had a problem (this is Ubuntu 8.10) where the system bell reverts to the hardware beep (which cannot be volume-downed or muted).  It's a HELLISHLY loud sound, and I don't know why it just started happening.
[01:21] <dcider> Jack_Sparrow: going to use a 640 gig hd, any recommendations to a % or size for the OS ?
[01:21] <ryanprior> redvamp128: That's neat. Do you know how I can make the sound controller applet do that automatically?
[01:21] <eidolon> my  next step is to try a reboot, but i'm in the middle of several things, would prefer not to.
[01:21] <dumb_dumb> then try to install it again on the new kernel
[01:22] <redvamp128> ryanprior:  if ussing oss or pulse (then substitute the proper sound)
[01:22] <dumb_dumb> but it`s still not working
[01:22] <ryanprior> Sylphid: Do you have a bug URL?
[01:22] <dumb_dumb> ok now i`ll update the system and let see the result
[01:22] <redvamp128> ryanprior: - not really but I just did a search and followed the link on the sound config (troubleshooting)
[01:22] <Sylphid> ryanprior, yea 1 sec
[01:22] <_C_Kode> Anyone use KDE 4.2 on 8.10 yet?  I heard there is a problem with libplasma2 vs libplasma3
[01:23] <rconan> rdw200169: oh... that's only with no position set
[01:23] <Sylphid> ryanprior, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-utils/+bug/204536
[01:23] <rconan> off
[01:23] <binarymutant> dumb_dumb, do this on a terminal `sudo modprobe nvidia` see if that works, if not I suggest reinstalling it
[01:23] <Berserkur> But I'm actually asking about ubuntu functionality. I've tried asking about the random panics and searched the databases. There seem to be identical problems with no solutions. What I'm asking now is how to enable the crashdump option. This was added to ubuntu in june or july
[01:23] <rconan> sorry odd
[01:23] <eidolon> KDE 4.x is not stable yet
[01:23] <ryanprior> Sylphid: Thanks much!
[01:23] <Sylphid> ryanprior, no prob
[01:23] <binarymutant> dumb_dumb, it meaning the driver not reinstalling the operating system :)
[01:23] <_C_Kode> eidolon: Then why is 4.2 in full release?
[01:23] <Jack_Sparrow> dcider three primary 50, 50 100, one huge extended cut into one 50 and the rest in 100 chunks plus swap
[01:23] <Berserkur> And the reason for doing that is that I want to provide a proper bug report
[01:23] <matt123> Hi, if I have a question about mdadm, which support group would I ask it in?
[01:23] <Schuenemann> has anybody sucessfully configured the intel gma x3100 graphic card? I can't get mine done
[01:24] <Jack_Sparrow> !raid
[01:24] <ryanprior> !ubuntu+1 | _C_Kode
[01:25] <yoyoned> !kde
[01:25] <JesperHansen> How do I figure out which video driver ubuntu is using if its not defined in xorg.conf?
[01:25] <binarymutant> JesperHansen, lsmod  (?)
[01:25] <xsg> HI
[01:25] <dcider> Jack_Sparrow: ok..back in a flash and a half I hope....
[01:25] <xsg> guys
[01:25] <xsg> can yall help me
[01:25] <Pici> !ask
[01:25] <JesperHansen> binarydigit: now thats a useless list
[01:26] <binarymutant> JesperHansen, your driver will be listed in it
[01:26] <Berserkur> JesperHansen: It has to be defined in xorg.conf. Otherwise it's not used
[01:26] <ryanprior> JesperHansen: Use grep to search the lsmod list for the various possible options.
[01:26] <xsg> I am looking for a video editing software for ubuntu 9.04 so i can edit my video files etc or a video editing suite
[01:26] <JesperHansen> binarydigit: but I see radeon pops up in my eyes when looking at it
[01:26] <ryanprior> Berserkur: I'm not sure that's true anymore. Lots of things have been moved out of xorg.conf and are being autodetected now.
[01:26] <Berserkur> JesperHansen: If it's not defined then you would be using the vesa driver I would suspect
[01:26] <binarymutant> JesperHansen, you use ati?
[01:26] <yoyoned> xsg: kine kdenlive pitivi blender
[01:27] <JesperHansen> Berserkur: 9.04 builds use autodetect in hal to find the best possible driver
[01:27] <xsg> thanks yoyoned
[01:27] <Curseorange> Ok, im looking for someone to directly help me with jus tone thing, how to open a shell.
[01:27] <matt123> is there a ubuntu server channel?
[01:27] <yoyoned> xsg: aptitude search video
[01:27] <Berserkur> ryanprior: The only thing I know is autodetected is resolution and stuff like that. Stuff that randr handles
[01:27] <redvamp128> matt123:  yes #ubuntu-server
[01:27] <JesperHansen> binarydigit: ati yes. Wanna use vesa
[01:27] <xsg> what is apitide search video ?
[01:27] <Harigh> is dial up supported in ubuntu?
[01:28] <Jack_Sparrow> !dialup
[01:28] <binarymutant> JesperHansen, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use vesa then, it's under the Device section
[01:28] <binarymutant> JesperHansen, oh ya and backup xorg.conf first, etc.
[01:28] <Berserkur> JesperHansen: Fair enough, you probably have better knowledge about that then me
[01:28] <Harigh> well im using gnome
[01:28] <Berserkur> JesperHansen: Since I've not used 9.04 at all
[01:28] <xsg> Peach i will be one later
[01:28] <xsg> thanks for help
[01:29] <JesperHansen> binarydigit: its completely blank (almost) in 9.04
[01:29] <Harigh> and theres something about it in the help files but it tells me to go to preferences admin network but it doesnt exist
[01:29] <yoyoned> xsg: type that into a terminal to see all the video applications, or search in synaptic
[01:29] <JesperHansen> whats that line for the driver?
[01:29] <binarymutant> JesperHansen, you can get an xorg.conf file by typing this in a terminal `sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg`
[01:29] <JesperHansen> Just: Driver "vesa"
[01:29] <Jack_Sparrow> JesperHansen cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T)
[01:29] <JesperHansen> ...
[01:29] <xsg> OK will do yoyoend
[01:30] <binarymutant> JesperHansen, and ya under the device section Driver "vesa"
[01:30] <Curseorange> What does this mean?    Access:
[01:30] <Curseorange> ssh:	leviathan.intruded.net
[01:30] <Curseorange> port:	10101
[01:30] <Curseorange> username:	level1
[01:30] <Curseorange> password:	leviathan
[01:30] <FloodBot1> Curseorange: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:30] <dumb_dumb> binarymutant: module nvidia not found
[01:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Curseorange That is NOT a ubuntu support question.
[01:30] <Curseorange> no jackim sure it is.
[01:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Curseorange it is a login and password to ssh in and start the game
[01:30] <Curseorange> Im wondering how to open it.
[01:30] <yoyoned> Curseorange: where did you find that
[01:30] <binarymutant> I think I just saw a username and password for a server
[01:31] <Jack_Sparrow> !ssh
[01:31] <Curseorange> all i want to know is how to open it.
[01:31] <Curseorange> :P
[01:31] <wolter> how will using mono instead of gtk improve the portability of my application?
[01:31] <ryanprior> Curseorange: We aren't interested in helping you with the game. Perhaps try #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:31] <kenalex> hello
[01:31] <wolter> I know this is not the right channel for that, but I won't get answers on ##mon
[01:31] <amikrop> Hello. How can I convert an MKV file to an AVI file, using "ffmpeg"?
[01:31] <wolter> o
[01:32] <yoyoned> Curseorange: type the following into a terminal ssh -p 10101 level1@leviathan.intruded.net
[01:32] <usser> wolter, it wont in the slightest, although mono devs claim that it supports .net 2.0 its nowhere near it.
[01:32] <binarymutant> dumb_dumb, hm... try removing the driver and reinstalling it
[01:32] <binarymutant> dumb_dumb, you can login to the GUI right?
[01:32] <Pici> wolter: Then don't ask here.  There are other channels for this. #ubuntu-offtopic ##programming, etc
[01:32] <wolter> usser, so, what does .net provide?
[01:32] <dumb_dumb> yup
[01:32] <Curseorange> So yoy all i have to do is copy and paste the info i pasted here into the terminal?
[01:32] <JesperHansen> http://pastebin.mozilla.org/615362 now this is how a xorg.conf file looks like in ubuntu 9.04
[01:32] <ryanprior> amikrop: man ffmpeg
[01:33] <binarymutant> dumb_dumb, kinda weird if you ask me, because if you had the wrong driver in /etc/X11/xorg.conf you shouldn't be able to log in at all
[01:33] <binarymutant> dumb_dumb, what version of Ubuntu?
[01:33] <kenalex> i am trying to build a  home server (file sever /developent database server) and wonder if the 2GB install on it would be sufficient for it . the processor installed is 64 bit (e2180)
[01:33] <usser> wolter, its a framework, supposedly crossplatform, that contains gui widgets network api, other apis for software development
[01:33] <yoyoned> Curseorange: yes, then you will be asked for the password
[01:33] <dumb_dumb> 8.10
[01:33] <amikrop> ryanprior: ok
[01:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Curseorange You are offtopic.. Please stop .. now
[01:33] <binarymutant> JesperHansen, http://pastebin.mozilla.org/615364
[01:33] <Sylphid> ryanprior, still looking for that link ....
[01:34] <yoyoned> Curseorange: and change you password
[01:34] <usser> wolter, but really gtk is ported to everything, you name it, it'll run, linux, windows,mac osx,freebsd
[01:34] <bb_> hey
[01:34] <ryanprior> Sylphid: Much appreciated.
[01:34] <binarymutant> yoyoned, lol
[01:34] <Curseorange> Ok thank you yoyo you have been the upmost help.
[01:34] <bb_> is there a support channel?
[01:34] <sirhcjw> hi anyone able to help me with sun-java5-plugin for 8.10 x64?
[01:34] <ryanprior> bb_: You found it! Welcome.
[01:34] <Berserkur> Curseorange: This is not a ubuntu question and you should take it elsewhere. Also, if you can't figure out how to connect to an ssh server, you're not going to be able to find cracks in systems
[01:34] <JesperHansen> binarydigit: already done.
[01:34] <binarymutant> JesperHansen, should work
[01:34] <gaintsura> O.o I can't bring my screen brightness up or down, any ideas?
[01:34] <wolter> usser, yeah, i guess i'll stay with gtk until i need .net
[01:35] <dumb_dumb> i can login
[01:35] <bb_> how do i get my mx5000 desktop to work with ubuntu?
[01:35] <gaintsura> correction, all of my function keys are messed up
[01:35] <dumb_dumb> but i think it not using the driver
[01:35] <xsg> i need some recommendations for some good games for ubuntu cause i wanna play somthing
[01:35] <zelrikriando> gaintsura, did you try with the tool on the taskbar?
[01:35] <ryanprior> bb_: It should work automatically.
[01:35] <redvamp128> xsg:  assault cube -- getdeb.net
[01:35] <yoyoned> xsg like       what
[01:35] <bb_> it doesnt i dont know what to do
[01:35] <bb_> im a beginner obviously
[01:35] <wolter> xsg, some REALLY good games, like commercial games? Otherwise there is a funny 3d game called extreme tux racer
[01:35] <Jack_Sparrow> xsg We discourage polls in here..  try world of pagman but see the link on games
[01:35] <zelrikriando> gaintsura, are you using a laptop
[01:35] <Jack_Sparrow> !games
[01:35] <binarymutant> dumb_dumb, I don't understand then
[01:36] <yoyoned> xsg search synaptic for games
[01:36] <wolter> xsg, you can play unreal, and basically any implementation of the q3 engine
[01:36] <Jack_Sparrow> xsg World of Padman
[01:36] <ryanprior> bb_: We get lots of beginners, that's no problem. Do you have the receiver plugged into the USB port?
[01:36] <redvamp128> xsg:  http://www.getdeb.net/
[01:36] <Gorlist> how can you find out where your partition starts and ends on the harddisk?
[01:36] <bb_> yes it is plugged in to the usb port
[01:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Gorlist gparted
[01:36] <binarymutant> Gorlist, fdisk -l
[01:36] <Schuenemann> xsg,  alien arena, return to castle wolfenstein, doom3
[01:36] <Gorlist> trying to adjust a size of var using parted, so want to shrink home
[01:36] <gaintsura> zelrikriando: yes I'm using a laptop.. and there is no tool on my taskbar, if you'd call it that
[01:36] <Gorlist> ssh :) remote
[01:37] <dixon2008> so is anyone sure how to get a logitech quickcam messenger to work with ubuntu? i can get a video feed but its just static, which means that ubuntu is reading the camera, but not ... sumthing can anyone help me out with this, if so plz pm me
[01:37] <yoyoned> Gorlist: get the gparted livecd
[01:37] <zelrikriando> gaintsura, you should add the tool....right click 'Add to Panel'
[01:37] <Gorlist> can't :)
[01:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Gorlist be prepared for broken fstab and grub
[01:37] <binarymutant> Gorlist, sudo fdisk -l
[01:37] <gaintsura> zelrikriando: I dont have a panel
[01:37] <gaintsura> =P
[01:37] <Gorlist> thanks,
[01:37] <gaintsura> know the nameo f the tool?
[01:37] <zelrikriando> gaintsura, get one...
[01:37] <gaintsura> s/nameo f/tool
[01:37] <doink12121> I am have encountered an infinite error message using wine and Magic workstation
[01:37] <doink12121> any help?
[01:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !wine
[01:38] <gaintsura> zelrikriando: thats not very helpful.. I'm not going to modify my desktop for an application
[01:38] <NickUK> Hello, I am currently having problems with my WI-FI Connecting. On boot sometimes i will get - USB 0-3: Device descriptor read/64 error -110 then my Wi-fi will not connect, However if i dont get those my wifi will connect and then maybe disconnect again after some time or some little time.
[01:38] <zelrikriando> gaintsura, 'brightness applet'
[01:38] <binarymutant> doink12121, good luck, I don't think it will work
[01:38] <zelrikriando> gaintsura, on gnome
[01:38] <doink12121> i found a post on forums but it happens to be in spanish
[01:38] <bb_> can anyone find mx5000 drivers for ubuntu? its not working
[01:39] <doink12121> I may not have good spanish but it looks like they might have had a solution
[01:39] <ryanprior> bb_: I just realized it's bluetooth. Did you install bluetooth support?
[01:39] <gaintsura> zelrikriando: this pertains to a larger problem than just my brightness. none of my Fn keys work
[01:39] <lianimator> is it possible to create my own keyboard layout?
[01:39] <bb_> hmm perhaps not, how should i do that?
[01:39] <Jack_Sparrow> !keys
[01:39] <zelrikriando> gaintsura, I know, I had the same kind of problem
[01:39] <ryanprior> bb_: Have you installed a package before?
[01:39] <NickUK> Hello, I am currently having problems with my WI-FI Connecting. On boot sometimes i will get - USB 0-3: Device descriptor read/64 error -110 then my Wi-fi will not connect, However if i dont get those my wifi will connect and then maybe disconnect again after some time or some little time.
[01:39] <bb_> yes
[01:39] <gaintsura> and it pertains to brightness applet?
[01:40] <gaintsura> O.o
[01:40] <yoyoned> lianimator: http://www.columbia.edu/~djv/docs/keyremap.html
[01:40] <ryanprior> bb_: Okay. Install the bluez-utils package.
[01:40] <zelrikriando> gaintsura, the brightness applet will be a temporary fix as it works better than the Fn key
[01:40] <bb_> it just started working i messed around with the bluetooth manager, thank you ryanprior
[01:40] <doink12121> so anybody help with magic workstation, or wants to tell me what these guys on saying on a spanish language linux forum
[01:40] <gaintsura> zelrikriando: I don't need a temporary fix,
[01:40] <gaintsura> but thanks =)
[01:41] <zelrikriando> gaintsura, if you find a permanent one, tell me, I am interested
[01:41] <ryanprior> bb_: Excellent. It's too bad they don't have better bluetooth support automatically.
[01:41] <redvamp128> doink12121:  you could copy the text and paste on this website Google Translate <http://translate.google.com/>
[01:41] <Jack_Sparrow> doink12121 Please find a web page translator website..  see also #WInehq since it seems to involve wine
[01:42] <lianimator> yoyoned: I'm more interested in editing a specific keyboard layout. I suspect it's coded with the wrong layout.
[01:42] <bb_> ryan, for some reason my mouse works but not my keyboard
[01:42] <zelrikriando> gaintsura, and I think you should be patient because I had that issue for a while and never found a bulletproof fix
[01:42] <jrib> lianimator: read /usr/share/doc/xkb-data/README.Debian
[01:42] <binarymutant> doink12121, it will run but magic workstation has a lot of problems with wine too graphically and through the network, I liked apprentice better
[01:42] <doink12121> winehq had nothing about this bug on the Workstation
[01:42] <yoyoned> lianimator: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/01/31/changing-the-system-keyboard-mapping-on-ubuntu-dvorak-vs-qwerty/
[01:42] <doink12121> i have workstation working fine it just wont connect to online servers
[01:43] <zelrikriando> gaintsura, I think some of my fn keys work though
[01:43] <doink12121> I hit an infinite bug
[01:43] <bb_> ahh mx5000 works fully for me now
[01:43] <binarymutant> doink12121, what about the cards I never got mine to display correctly
[01:43] <doink12121> they display fine
[01:43] <ryanprior> bb_: Well bust my buttons. I don't know why that would be -- is there some way you can reset the keyboard?
[01:43] <ryanprior> bb_: What did you do to make it work?
[01:43] <Jack_Sparrow> !enter > doink12121
[01:43] <_VIM_> Where to download world of padman? their site appears to be down
[01:44] <yoyoyoyo> I installed skype, but when I run it it gives me error "skype: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libQtNetwork.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv"
[01:44] <bb_> just re plugged the usb
[01:44] <bb_> how do i register again?
[01:44] <Sylphid> bb_, laptop?
[01:44] <lianimator> jrib: thanks. I'll try this first.
[01:44] <doink12121> but when i try to connect to an online server i get this error message once per second "access violation at address 70D09697 in module 'gdiplus.dll' read address 00000048"
[01:44] <Sylphid> bb_, if so there is a bug when adjusting brighness via keyboard shortcuts
[01:45] <ryanprior> _VIM_: http://www.getdeb.net/app/World+Of+Padman
[01:45] <Scunizi> _VIM_: try www.getdeb.net
[01:45] <_VIM_> ryanprior: i jus tlooked there
[01:45] <Cyr4x> hi is there any virtual camera software for linux?
[01:45] <bb_> how do i register again?
[01:45] <Sylphid> bb_, the workaround is to click on power manager in your toolbar
[01:45] <dixon2008> so is anyone sure how to get a logitech quickcam messenger to work with ubuntu? i can get a video feed but its just static, which means that ubuntu is reading the camera, but not ... sumthing can anyone help me out with this, if so plz pm me
[01:45] <ryanprior> _VIM_: GetDeb isn't down. I just checked.
[01:45] <jrib> bb_: /msg ubottu register
[01:45] <yoyoned> Cyr4x: what is virtual camera software
[01:45] <_VIM_> ryanprior: no not saying getdeb.net was down
[01:45] <Scunizi> _VIM_: works for me too
[01:45] <Cyr4x> i mean an app
[01:45] <Cotowar> dixon, what are you trying to do with the camera?
[01:45] <dixon2008> use it
[01:46] <_VIM_> was saying world of padmans site seems down
[01:46] <Cyr4x> i can use a photo or a video as a webcam
[01:46] <Cotowar> like as a webcam, or just to record videos to the computer?
[01:46] <Cyr4x> as a webcam
[01:46] <Cotowar> hmm
[01:46] <searland> exit
[01:46] <bb_> sylphid what did u say?
[01:46] <Cotowar> you should be able to use it with the client program
[01:46] <Jack_Sparrow> _VIM_ http://www.gamershell.com/download_18561.shtml           plus you need the patch
[01:47] <dixon2008> well, i use it mainly to post vids on youtube, but i cant get it to work properly, i was trying to get the program that lets me record a vid straight from the cam
[01:47] <Cotowar> i have a quickcam and it works fine under aMSN
[01:47] <Cyr4x> i don't have
[01:47] <ianm_> hrm, bluetooth used to work in 8.04, now (still in ﻿8.04) it doesn't.  the icon doesn't show up when the setting is "Only while adapter is present" and wmgui (for wiimotes) immediately returns error "Unable to connect".  any ideas?
[01:47] <Cyr4x> and i want to use video file as a webcam
[01:47] <Jack_Sparrow> _VIM_ http://www.gamershell.com/download_18561.shtml           plus you need the patch      http://games.softpedia.com/progDownload/World-of-Padman-Patch-Download-32927.html
[01:47] <ryanprior> Cotowar, Cyr4x: What you need is to figure out how the webcam system works, then just stream the video file to that device or whatever.
[01:47] <_VIM_> ok ty Jack_Sparrow and ryanprior
[01:47] <Cyr4x> yes
[01:47] <Cotowar> i dont have the problem with it.
[01:48] <spritle> ungh, nvidia drivers are driving me bonkers
[01:48] <spritle> O__o
[01:48] <Cotowar> idk what program you want to use, so i cant take a look at it
[01:48] <Sylphid> bb_, if you adjust the lcd brightness via the keyboard there is a known bug that ubuntu does not see the release of that key so you loose your keyboard.. the workaround is to click on the power manager in your toolbar
[01:49] <Scunizi> spritle: what's up..
[01:49] <xsg_> GUys i am looking for a limewire like app or limewire or whatever for my ubuntu

[01:49] <Cotowar> xsg_ what version do you have?
[01:49] <Jack_Sparrow> frostwire
[01:49] <Cyr4x> it's java so it's for everything
[01:49] <xsg_> 9.04
[01:49] <spritle> it says 180 is installed and activated, but i cant switch to large resolutions
[01:49] <Cotowar> okay, try googling limewire for linux
[01:50] <Cyr4x> frostwire o limewire your choice first is open source second is commercial
[01:50] <Jack_Sparrow> spritle I had same issue.  I could not even get back to my old driver without reinstalling my system from backup
[01:50] <racecar56> i gtg see you guys later
[01:50] <Scunizi> spritle: did you install from System>admin>hardware drivers? or from nvidia direct?
[01:50] <spritle> ive tried both ways
[01:50] <redvamp128> sprite have you tried-- sudo nvidia-settings?
[01:50] <baz_> is there anyway to UNINSTALL a screensaver?
[01:50] <spritle> even envyng
[01:50] <xsg_> ook thanks and man i love 9.04 and i am starting to realy love ubuntu but i am wondering will ubuntu ever make a video editing suite or anything like so or no or they just sticking on main os and develepers to creat such a thing
[01:50] <yoyoyoyo> !gift

[01:51] <spritle> aha!
[01:52] <x83> no, i've download ed but on youtube don't detect it
[01:52] <xsg_> i will be back soon
[01:52] <spritle> nvidia-settings did the trick
[01:52] <Scunizi> spritle: ok.. here's the run down.. things are probably a bit muddy in your system with everything you've done.. first thing is to probably uninstall envyng using the uninstall including configuration files
[01:52] <spritle> thank god
[01:52] <baz_> xsg_, once ubuntu/linux gets big, all the apps will flow
[01:52] <icmp_request> greetings! How do I see the MESSAGES recorded from last shutdown/reboot? (not only when rebooted but the messages displayed by it like "shutting down xxxx...")

[01:55] <Scunizi> xsg_: your question is best asked in #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:55] <ryanprior> Sylphid: That looks like a great resource. I'll bookmark it.
[01:55] <xsg_> where is offtopic
[01:55] <Scunizi> #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:55] <Jack_Sparrow> xsg_ #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:55] <redvamp128> xsg-- though the money would be in the following-- release games for mac Os sell them and port them to linux for free
[01:55] <ryanprior> Sylphid: Linux sound being the morass it is, I need every bit of help I can get. =D
[01:56] <Sylphid> ryanprior, crap... not ubuntu specific so the file it references doesnt exist

[01:56] <binarymutant> xsg_, unrar in the restricted repo

[01:56] <Scunizi> Jack_Sparrow: may I pm?
[01:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Scunizi yes
[01:56] <Sylphid> ryanprior, although the rc.local part would work
[01:56] <xsg_> ok thanks
[01:56] <baz_> no-one knows how to to debug the fact that i have an update sitting in pending updates that is not updating?
[01:56] <linux_guy> does anyone know a command to run when 'wlan0' does not start on startup?  It starts and connects like it's supposed to, but only about 40% of the time.
[01:57] <yoyoned> baz_ what is the update?
[01:57] <Sylphid> ryanprior, ok not positive but you should be able to add those lines to /etc/modprobe.d/options
[01:58] <linux_guy> i use the b43 driver, and i believe the problem is that sometimes it just doesnt start
[01:58] <doink12121> access violation at address 70D09697 in module 'gdiplus.dll' read address 00000048....... any idea how i can fix this?
[01:58] <Sylphid> linux_guy, sudo modprobe b43
[01:58] <redvamp128> doink12121:  ask that in #winehq
[01:59] <xsg_> i need a screen video recorder for it which is the best and i on 9.04 Alpha 3
[01:59] <Sylphid> linux_guy, if network manager is trying to connect thought that seems like the module is loaded
[01:59] <Sylphid> linux_guy, you can verify if it is loaded by running sudo lshw -C network
[02:00] <ryanprior> linux_guy: sudo modprobe b42s | head -n 13 | grep towels | xargs match
[02:00] <linux_guy> Sylphid, when this happens, i show NO networks, mine, my neighbors, none, restart a few times and it will fix
[02:00] <linux_guy> Sylphid, but its a pain
[02:00] <wolter> hi, I added a path to ${PATH}, but when I try to run a file that is in there, the system doesn't find the file..
[02:00] <Sylphid> linux_guy,  you can try just unloading and reloading the module
[02:00] <yoyoned> wolter: logout and back in
[02:00] <Sylphid> linux_guy, saves a reboot
[02:00] <baz_> yoyoned, "gnome-do-plugins"
[02:01] <linux_guy> Sylphid, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6540617#post6540617
[02:01] <linux_guy> there is all my output
[02:01] <Sylphid> linux_guy, sudo modprobe -r b43 && sudo modprobe b43
[02:01] <wolter> yoyoned, already.. I printed the ${PATH}, and my path was there..
[02:01] <yoyoned> baz_: pastebin the output of sudo aptitude upgrade
[02:02] <yoyoned> !paste|baz_
[02:02] <FireTalon> anyone here able to get the gspca module in the ubuntu repositories to compile sucessfully?
[02:02] <Cotowar> i did,
[02:02] <Cotowar> but i have no idea how
[02:02] <FireTalon> how did you do it?
[02:02] <Sylphid> linux_guy, are you using ndiswrapper?
[02:02] <Cotowar> it just worked
[02:02] <FireTalon> I get 5k errors
[02:02] <ryanprior> My scroll lock button doesn't seem to work. How can I figure out why?
[02:03] <_VIM_> !away > rconan|sleep
[02:03] <yoyoned> wolter: type 'which command' and see if it's found.
[02:03] <Cotowar> i just added gspca through synaptic and it just worked
[02:03] <baz_> yoyoned, there is nothing to pastebin, when I open the update manager, "gnome-do-plugins" (with description) is displayed but greyed out and unclickable.
[02:03] <FireTalon> k
[02:03] <linux_guy> Sylphid, i really dont believe so
[02:03] <Sylphid> linux_guy, is your wireless working right now
[02:03] <linux_guy> Sylphid, yes
[02:03] <Cotowar> oooo
[02:03] <yoyoned> baz_: open a terminal type sudo aptitude upgrade and pase the output
[02:04] <Sylphid> linux_guy, run sudo lshw -C network and see if there is anything there that is different from when its not working
[02:04] <wolter> yoyoned, look: I am saving my applications (non at-get installed) under /home/all/Applications.. and games under /home/all/Games
[02:04] <Cotowar> okay, i have a router running DHCP, and I want to use a webcam through Kopete, but my router blocks the data from going out
[02:04] <Sylphid> linux_guy, specifically the driver listed under your wireless interface
[02:04] <wolter> yoyoned, I added /home/all/ to the PATH, succesfully, so when I want to execute something, I type $ Applications/SomeApp/launcher.sh
[02:05] <Cotowar> I tried disabling firestarter, and i tried running in the DMZ on my router, but firestarter did nothing, and the DMZ blocked all my other computers from using the router
[02:05] <wolter> yoyoned, but that's not working, I don't know why
[02:05] <linux_guy> !paste
[02:05] <zcat[1]> andone know of a free xdmcp client for windows?
[02:05] <Cotowar> how do i get a webcam working under kopete through a router?
[02:05] <yoyoned> wolter: the path is not recursive, it doesn't dig into directories
[02:06] <wolter> yoyoned, oh, thats it..
[02:06] <linux_guy> Sylphid, http://paste.ubuntu.com/113423/
[02:06] <wolter> yoyoned, so, is there a way i could accomplish what I am seeking?
[02:06] <yoyoned> wolter: i have a /home/bin in my path full of links to the apps I want to run
[02:06] <linux_guy> Sylphid, i don't see anything about ndiswrapper
[02:07] <yoyoned> wolter: do you know how to make symbolic links
[02:07] <Sylphid> linux_guy, its there

[02:07] <I-I4x0r> can you ddos with ubuntu?
[02:07] <I-I4x0r> can you ddos with ubuntu?
[02:07] <Sylphid> linux_guy, driver=ndiswrapper+bcmwl5
[02:07] <linux_guy> oh wait yes i do
[02:07] <linux_guy> sorry
[02:07]  * linux_guy is a moron
[02:07] <jrib> I-I4x0r: that's offtopic here
[02:07] <iShock> I have xubuntu 8.10 and im trying to print from a computer shared on Windows, but the printer wizard isn't finding anything from windows ...
[02:07] <Sylphid> linux_guy, heres the problem you have a race condition
[02:07] <I-I4x0r> oh okay srry
[02:07] <wolter> yoyoned, well yeah, I am doing it that way, but for example, I like to apps from .desktop shortcuts that lay on my ~/bin/, but those on my ~/bin/ link to  /home/all/(...). I wanted to make it not so laberynthical, but I guess its ok.
[02:08] <tritium> I-I4x0r: don't ever ask that here
[02:08] <wolter> yoyoned, I do.
[02:08] <linux_guy> Sylphid, sorry a 'race' condition?
[02:08] <I-I4x0r> srry im new to the irc wasnt sure :(
[02:08] <iShock> I have xubuntu 8.10 and im trying to print from a computer shared on Windows, but the printer wizard isn't finding anything from windows ...
[02:08] <Sylphid> linux_guy, ndiswrapper and b43 are trying to control the wireless and whichever gets loaded 1st takes it over
[02:08] <tritium> I-I4x0r: it's unethical
[02:08] <lero> does anyone knows if 2.6.29 will be included in jaunty?
[02:08] <bb_> guys i need help  my usb drive wont mount
[02:08] <linux_guy> Sylphid, well, b43 is obviously the unreliable one
[02:08] <I-I4x0r> srry bout that bro
[02:08] <linux_guy> in my case*
[02:08] <Sylphid> linux_guy, so what we need to do is make sure that b43 will never take control
[02:08] <baz_> yoyoned, it showed that an update was available under 'gnome' called "gnome-do-plugins". I continued with the process to install it and bumped into this line highlighted in red: "gnome-do (>= 0.7.96~) (UNAVAILABLE)"... So it seems that the core file is not available. The next question then is how to get rid of it from the pending updates list, and why it showed up in the first place...
[02:09] <Sylphid> linux_guy, good news is that this is an easy fix
[02:09] <linux_guy> Sylphid,  let me guess.....
[02:09] <iShock> I have xubuntu 8.10 and im trying to print from a computer shared on Windows, but the printer wizard isn't finding anything from windows ...

[02:09] <yoyoned> baz_ sudo aptitude remove gnome-do-plugins
[02:09] <Sylphid> linux_guy, no sry lol.... gotta blacklist b43

[02:10] <linux_guy> Sylphid, sorry wanted to guess
[02:10] <bb_> yes
[02:10] <iShock> I have xubuntu 8.10 and im trying to print from a computer shared on Windows, but the printer wizard isn't finding anything from windows ...

[02:11] <iShock> I have xubuntu 8.10 and im trying to print from a computer shared on Windows, but the printer wizard isn't finding anything from windows ...
[02:11] <wolter> yoyoned, offtopic, how do you like that idea of storing apps and games?
[02:11] <baz_> yoyoned, big time - my single favorite app

[02:12] <linux_guy> Sylphid, why the 'i'... just curious, trying to learn
[02:12] <linux_guy> thats root
[02:12] <linux_guy> right?
[02:12] <Sylphid> linux_guy, sorry... i missguided you
[02:12] <bb_> guys i need help  my usb drive wont mount, im using gnome
[02:13] <Sylphid> linux_guy, sudo -i logs you in as root
[02:13] <philsf> I'm having trouble having my root logical volume recognized (it just stopped working after an apparently normal reboot). Is there a way to manually deactivate and reactivate it?
[02:13] <linux_guy> bb_, what filesystem is it?
[02:13] <yoyoned> wolter: I try very hard not to install anything thats not in the native package format
[02:13] <bb_> ntfs
[02:13] <dforbin> are there any known/common issues with 8.10 and burning audio discs?
[02:13] <linux_guy> Sylphid, right it will look like root@matt-laptop$
[02:13] <iShock> I have xubuntu 8.10 and im trying to print from a computer shared on Windows, but the printer wizard isn't finding anything from windows ...
[02:13] <Sylphid> linux_guy, the following commands wont work though as they will try to run as the initial user not root
[02:13] <wolter> yoyoned, not to be rude, but that doesn't answer me :s
[02:13] <spritle> have ntfs config tool installed?
[02:13] <Sylphid> linux_guy, should have been sudo -i
[02:13] <linux_guy> ok
[02:14] <yoyoned> wolter: no, i don't
[02:14] <Sylphid> linux_guy, then after your in as root

[02:14] <linux_guy> iShock, have you tried #xubuntu????
[02:14] <iShock> linux_guy: It's still ubuntu
[02:14] <spritle> bb: should be all you need
[02:14] <iShock> and #xubuntu is dead useless
[02:14] <bb_> thanks spirlte..
[02:15] <bb_> guys i have a   question, again. lol. how do i set up dual displays in ubuntu ?
[02:15] <yoyoned> baz_ it's not updating because it can't verify the package
[02:15] <Sylphid> iShock, you have the printer shared on windows correct?
[02:15] <rdw200169> bb_, what video card?
[02:15] <linux_guy> iShock, its difficult to read when every other post is about your printer, can you chill out for a few?  =)
[02:15] <bb_> asus radeon 4870 1g ddr5
[02:15] <iShock> Sylphid: Yes
[02:15] <baz_> yoyoned, is one of my sources not good perhaps? I have a lot of custom sources...
[02:16] <tritium> bb_: the screen resolution applet didn't help?
[02:16] <iShock> linux_guy: Not till I get an answer
[02:16] <baz_> yoyoned, it seems like oofficial ubuntu sources though, no?
[02:16] <Sylphid> iShock, windows firewall turned off?
[02:16] <iShock> Sylphid: Yes, it shows up on Windows ...
[02:16] <tritium> bb_: it's located under System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution
[02:16] <kthakore> when u open multiple files with vim a.out b.out c.out
[02:16] <Sylphid> iShock, on another windows box or the one the printer is connected to
[02:17] <yoyoned> baz_ i think you need to import the key, but I can't remember how
[02:17] <kthakore> after the first file how do u continue to the next one
[02:17] <bb_> no, only shows only display connected.    i have a 1680 1050 display and a 1024 768 display and the smaller one  just copies the 1680, it wont let me extend
[02:17] <iShock> Sylphid: Another box, this one (Dual boot)

[02:20] <tritium> bb_: ubottu is a bot.  I had him send you that info.
[02:20] <Bogaurd> does the ubuntu 'passwd' binary update SMB passwords too?
[02:20] <tritium> Bogaurd: no
[02:20] <DanaG> But... if the kernel doesn't recognize it, I can't get anywhere beyond initramfs.
[02:20] <DanaG> ... when trying to SD-boot, that is.
[02:20] <bb_> yeah i saw that sorry tritium thanks
[02:21] <rdw200169> Bogaurd, i think you need to use smbpasswd for that
[02:21] <bb_> i downloaded ntfs config tool and still cant mount my usb drive
[02:21] <Bogaurd> tritium: hmm, that's what I would have thought. but when i change my password with passwd, the smb password is changed also...
[02:21] <DanaG> is libpam-smbpasswd, or whatever it's called, installed
[02:21] <DanaG> ?
[02:21] <new2ubuntu> ok.. so i just bought this computer (custom built) how do i find what video card i have.. without opening it up?
[02:21] <new2ubuntu> ..so i can get drivers
[02:22] <tritium> Bogaurd: ordinarily, you set the samba password with smbpasswd
[02:22] <Bogaurd> DanaG: let me see
[02:22] <paolwon> anyone here using smartlink modem driver ?
[02:22] <paolwon> new2ubuntu: since its custom built, ask the vendor.
[02:22] <fsufitch> hey guys how do i make ubuntu set the $PATH to include ~/bin for the whole X session? (not just for xterm, so not .bashrc)
[02:23] <yoyoned> fsufitch: put it in .profile
[02:23] <new2ubuntu> paolwon: isnt there just some code i can type in terminal?
[02:23] <Bogaurd> DanaG: I have libpam-smbpass installed
[02:23] <DanaG> Aah, that's why it does it automatically.
[02:23] <yoyoned> new2ubuntu: lshw
[02:23] <new2ubuntu> yoyoned: thx
[02:23] <fsufitch> yoyoned, ty
[02:23] <DanaG> lshw sucks.  I prefer gnome-device-manager.
[02:23] <paolwon> new2ubuntu: if its pci card, lspci.
[02:23] <Sussa_> hey there :)
[02:23] <Sussa_> hey there :)
[02:24] <yoyoned> new2ubuntu: any of thiose will work fine
[02:24] <Bogaurd> DanaG: so with libpam-smbpass installed, passwd will update my samba passwords too? that's the correct behaviour?
[02:24] <lostnhell> has anyone here setup a USB based wireless internet card on ubuntu?
[02:24] <Sussa_> could you please help me with 2 issues on 8.04? :)
[02:24] <yoyoned> !ask|Sussa_
[02:25] <new2ubuntu> yoyoned: thx
[02:25] <DanaG> Bogaurd: yes, I believe that's the intent of libpam-smbpass.
[02:25] <Bogaurd> thanks DanaG :)
[02:26] <Sussa_> I've got an Atheros AR2413 wi-fi, but the connection is too slow (using 8.04)
[02:26] <lostnhell> I have a sprint 598U wireless broadband card that I am having problems setting up, can someone help me with this issue?
[02:27] <new2ubuntu> yoyoned: i came up with the driver on the website.. which one do i want?? http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon-prer200.html
[02:27] <yoyoned> lots of wifi issues
[02:27] <yoyoned> !wireless
[02:27] <Sussa_> yep :P
[02:27] <DanaG> I still wonder what's up with my SDHC card.
[02:27] <yoyoned> !ati|new2ubuntu
[02:28] <Cotowar> i might be able to help with SDHC
[02:28] <Cotowar> what seems to be happening?
[02:28] <IndyGunFreak> Atheros devices(AR) are usually pretty solid under Linux... using madwifi.. i've got an AR242x, and it works fine.
[02:28] <DanaG> Exactly nothing happens, in fact.
[02:28] <jer3my> Looks like i am not the only one with wifi issues, i have a Atheros AR242x card that for the life of me, i can not get working, have tried back ports, madwifi, ndiswrapper, and other things... not sure if i am doing something or what, Looks as if my card might be disabled... but no idea how to enable it. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/113426/
[02:28] <Cotowar> did it ever work?
[02:28] <DanaG> Not a single thing in dmesg when I insert the card.
[02:28] <IndyGunFreak> Sussa_: how did you set up the device?
[02:28] <DanaG> About all I get is the driver reporting that it's loaded and found an SDHC reader.
[02:29] <IndyGunFreak> jer3my: that device should work fine.. you say you've tried the backports..
[02:29] <Cotowar> hmmm, have you tried a different card?
[02:29] <Sussa_> IndyGunFreak: it was up automatically, using 'proprietary drivers'
[02:29] <Cotowar> perhaps the card is a dud?
[02:29] <DanaG> Nope, same happens for a friend's SDHC card I borrowed for a moment.
[02:29] <IndyGunFreak> Sussa_: i see.. i honestly don't know much of that card
[02:29] <DanaG> The card works fine in Windows, and even my BIOS boot thingy sees it, interestingly enough.
[02:29] <Sussa_> IndyGunFreak: in fact, the card works, but the connection speed is very slow
[02:29] <Cotowar> hmm
[02:30] <IndyGunFreak> Sussa_: really don't know what would cause that.... assuming the connection is solid under Windows.
[02:30] <jer3my> IndyGunFreak: I doesn't, on a fresh install, did the blacklisting, disabling, rebooted, installed backports, then rebooted again and still no wifi.
[02:30] <Cotowar> what drivers do you have for the card reader?
[02:30] <jer3my> it doesnt^
[02:30] <Sussa_> IndyGunFreak: yes, it is. I've used Mandriva for a while and it was good, as well
[02:30] <IndyGunFreak> jer3my: are you using 64bit/
[02:30] <Cotowar> hmmm
[02:30] <jer3my> Nope
[02:31] <Cotowar> idk, never had that problem myself, so i couldnt tell you how to go about fixing it
[02:31] <IndyGunFreak> jer3my: are you using 8.10, or 8.04
[02:31] <jer3my> 8.10, i thought about installing 8.04 and trying
[02:31] <Cotowar> did anyone have a stability problem with 8.10 until recently?
[02:31] <lostnhell> I attempted to follow the online guide from sprint for setting up the 598U broadband card, but when following the guide it appears that dmesg is not displaying the device under a tty device.
[02:31] <IndyGunFreak> jer3my: should be unnecessary.. it works w/ a patched version of madwifi under 8.04.. but it should work just by installing the backports under Intrepid. (8.10
[02:32] <DanaG> Cotowar: there's the ricoh_mmc module to disable the mmc part of the chip, and there's sdhci to drive the SD interface.
[02:32] <IndyGunFreak> jer3my: go to system/admin/hardware drivers
[02:32] <linux_guy> Sylphid is awesome you guys
[02:32] <DanaG> Oh yeah, speaking of stability... any time I try any fglrx newer than 8.543, I get a lovely kernel panic.
[02:32] <Zygot> jer3my: I don't see a wireless interface on your pastebin
[02:32] <ari_stress> morning all :)
[02:32] <linux_guy> I've been working on that for weeks, and its been at the forum for weeks too
[02:32] <cdavis> my printer claims insufficient memory when sending big jobs, can I just have cups keep the jobs and hand them to the printer slowly?
[02:33] <Cotowar> cdavis, you could get more printer memory...
[02:33] <usser> Cotowar, howd that transcoding/renaming go?
[02:33] <Level_5> come someone here help me out with my broadcom wireless card?
[02:33] <jer3my> zygot, i know, someone was telling me its disabled... but i have no clue how to enable it. the wifi switch is on, but i dont think thats the problem
[02:33] <Cotowar> still going
[02:33] <Cotowar> i was retarded and accidentally closed the terminal
[02:33] <jer3my> Indy, The only one in there is disabled.
[02:33] <Cotowar> so i had to start over
[02:33] <cdavis> Cotowar, the printer already has a hard drive, I think something just isn't quite right
[02:33] <usser> heh
[02:33] <HoNgOuRu> hi, I need to install "libgtkmm-2.4-1" how can I do it if "sudo apt-get install libgtkmm-2.4-1" can't find it?
[02:34] <IndyGunFreak> jer3my: what is there.. "Support for Atheros 802.11 wireless lan cards"
[02:34] <DanaG> heh, any time I hit rfkill, it actually disables the card's interrupt.  =P
[02:34] <Zygot> jer3my: can you give me a sudo lsmod |grep ath
[02:34] <Cotowar> oh, and its making copies of copies now. i think im going to delete these files and restart with fresh copies of the originals
[02:34] <IndyGunFreak> Zygot: i can already tell you (i've got extensive experience w/t hat device), if he doesn't have two options in hardware drivers for that device, he's blacklisted something wrong, or hes' not set it up correctly
[02:35] <johnwittle> if I have a unix su password set, just removed myself from access to it, is there any way to fix it?
[02:35] <underdog_> does anyone know how to change the ubuntu's system language?
[02:35] <Level_5> IndyGunFreak,  hey guy, can you help me out with my broadcom wireless card?
[02:35] <DanaG> Oh yeah, incidentally, the PCI-based SD interface is actually SLOWER than the built-in USB interface of the same card.
[02:35] <IndyGunFreak> jer3my: if you don't have two options there for that atheros device, you've nto followed instructions properly
[02:35] <DanaG> =P
[02:35] <IndyGunFreak> Level_5: no.. i suck w/ broadcomm.. sorry
[02:35] <jer3my> Indy, Yes, there is only one option
[02:35] <jer3my> Zygot, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/113433/
[02:35] <IndyGunFreak> Level_5: i've only dealt w/ this pain in the ass atheros device, a lot.
[02:36] <IndyGunFreak> jer3my: again, what does that option say there..
[02:36] <jer3my> Indy, Support for Atheros 802.11 Wireless LAN cards.
[02:36] <eternaljoy> hello
[02:36] <Cotowar> oh usser, i was going to tell you my laptop does NOT like transcoding either.
[02:36] <eternaljoy> Iptables is a firewall, installed by default on all official Ubuntu distributions (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu). When you install Ubuntu, iptables is there, but it allows all traffic by default.   <--- is this statement true?
[02:36] <Level_5> anyone here have experience setting up broadcom wireless card?
[02:37] <Cotowar> it is extremely hot, and i had to get a small fan to blow into the heatsink
[02:37] <usser> what? oh
[02:37] <usser> Cotowar, lol
[02:37] <IndyGunFreak> jer3my: you're doing something wrong... you should also have there.. "Support for 5xxxx series of Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards"
[02:37] <Zygot> jer3my: Ok, so ath5k, looks to me like you might be missing firmware?
[02:37] <vock> what can go wrong from changing the root password? (not a user password with root priveliges)
[02:37] <IndyGunFreak> jer3my: you say you've tried the backports... what did you try
[02:37] <eternaljoy> Level_5: I cant connect my internet Three wireless USB card
[02:37] <IndyGunFreak> Zygot: lol its not a firmware issue
[02:37] <Cotowar> vock, you can forget it
[02:38] <vock> Cotowar: but i thought normally you don't know the root password to begin with
[02:38] <eternaljoy> when I install ubuntu, is it true that Iptables is a firewall and allows all traffic by default?
[02:38] <jrib> eternaljoy: yes
[02:38] <Cotowar> vock, you should know the root password, unless you are not allowed to install software
[02:38] <eternaljoy> jrib: thats bad :( I didnt realise that.. I been using Ubuntu for years assuming the firewall is always ON
[02:38] <tritium> vock: there is no root password unless you explicitly unlock the root account
[02:38] <tritium> Cotowar: ^^
[02:39] <jrib> eternaljoy: why do you think it is bad?
[02:39] <jer3my> hmm back in a sec
[02:39] <Zygot> IndyGunFreak: Ok, if you say so, what kernel ver is he? .24?
[02:39] <Cotowar> tritium, i set mine on the install
[02:39] <Sussa_> other issue.. I've got a VIA Chrome video card. It works on 8.04.2, but it doesn't at 8.10. Nothing appears, just a blank screen :(
[02:39] <Cotowar> i can log in as root if i want too
[02:39] <IndyGunFreak> Zygot: positive its not.
[02:39] <eternaljoy> jrib: because allows all traffic by default :(
[02:39] <jrib> eternaljoy: there are no services listening by default...
[02:39] <vock> tritium: what password are you changing with the command sudo passwd ?
[02:39] <tritium> Cotowar: that option is not given during install
[02:39] <paolwon> one script i have specifies /etc/init.d/functions. but there isn't such file or dir. what is this 'functions'?
[02:39] <Cotowar> and sometimes i do just to live on the edge
[02:39] <IndyGunFreak> Zygot: not to be a smartass, but i've set that device, on probably 10 different laptops.... its not a firmware problem
[02:39] <tritium> vock: your user's.  sudo passwd root would change root's.
[02:40] <eternaljoy> jrib: what you mean? you said it allows all traffic by deault, now u say no services listening by default.. what u mean?
[02:40] <jrib> eternaljoy: exactly what I said.  What part isn't clear?
[02:40] <eternaljoy> jrib: be nice please
[02:40] <brettley> i need a little help, is there a way i can get ubuntu to run on 128mb memory, 500mhz processor, and a server GFX card, oh yah, and 15 SCSI harddrives?
[02:40] <neil_d> can I get the F1 (for example) to output some text (i.e. "This is a test") when pressed?
[02:40] <Pici> eternaljoy: Lets say that ssh isn't installed. 22 isn't being blocked, but nothing is listening on 22 either.
[02:40] <eternaljoy> jrib: explain to me nicely or not at all, thanks.
[02:40] <brettley> (i was thinking server edition with X)
[02:41] <tritium> Cotowar: ubuntu's installer doesn't provide that option.  You must be mistaken.
[02:41] <Zygot> IndyGunFreak: lol, OK, what's the trick? there is an ath5k driver problem
[02:41] <jrib> eternaljoy: I'm asking you to tell me which part isn't clear.  Do you understand what I mean by "firewall" and "service"?
[02:41] <BassKozz> How can I setup a script I created to run as root (sudo) on bootup?
[02:41] <eternaljoy> jrib: no, pls explain
[02:41] <jrib> !startup > BassKozz
[02:41] <Cotowar> im pretty sure it is, it asked me for two passwords, one was the user and the other was the root. it has too otherwise you cant install anything or get to the login window manager to enable root login
[02:41] <neil_d> BassKozz: see /etc/rc.local
[02:41] <IndyGunFreak> Zygot: more or less.. he says he installed the backports, usually that fixes it, but i can already tell you he didn't, just by what he's got in "hardware drivers"
[02:41] <TheComrade> In Rhythmbox when browsing music, sometimes a new track starts playing immediately on a single click, other times it does not.  How do I make it only play on double-click?
[02:42] <IndyGunFreak> Cotowar: are you using ubuntu?
[02:42] <BassKozz> jrib: won't run as root that way :(
[02:42] <Cotowar> yea
[02:42] <jrib> BassKozz: read closer
[02:42] <BassKozz> neil_d: will it run as root (sudo)?
[02:42] <Cotowar> 1 sec, ill install it again
[02:42] <IndyGunFreak> Cotowar: then it didn't ask you for two passwords
[02:42] <paolwon> what is /etc/init.d/functions all about?
[02:42] <BassKozz> neil_d: using /etc/rc.local?
[02:42] <Cotowar> hmm
[02:42] <eternaljoy> jrib: ?
[02:42] <Cotowar> 1 sec
[02:42] <tritium> Cotowar: as I said, you're mistaken
[02:43] <neil_d> BassKozz: yes, as a test put in "whoami > /tmp/name" and reboot.
[02:43] <underdog_> does anyone know of an easy way to change the system language?
[02:43] <Zygot> IndyGunFreak: does his ver ship with ath-pci? (modprobe -r ath5k, modprobe ath-pci?)
[02:43] <tritium> !locales | underdog_
[02:43] <IndyGunFreak> Zygot: yes.
[02:43] <jrib> eternaljoy: by firewall, I mean some software that permits or denies network traffic.  By service, I mean some software that actively listens on a certain port and accepts connections.  So for example, you can have port 80 open in your firewall, but if you don't have a service like apache listening on it, then it doesn't matter whether port 80 is open or not
[02:43] <IndyGunFreak> brb
[02:43] <eternaljoy> jrib: ok ty
[02:43] <Cotowar> im gonna install a virtual machine quick. i could have sworn it asked for two passwords
[02:43] <BassKozz> jrib: !boot, gotcha, Thanks :-D
[02:44] <BassKozz> neil_d: Thanks :-D
[02:44] <Cotowar> maybe that was when i had fedora?
[02:44] <tritium> Cotowar: it does not.  Trust me.
[02:44] <Cotowar> idk
[02:44] <new2ubuntu> ok id like to be able to share movies accross a network with two ubuntu computers (one is a laptop the other is a desktop) how could i set up such a network?
[02:44] <Cotowar> i believe you, im afraid im losing my mind though
[02:44] <BassKozz> new2ubuntu: samba
[02:44] <tritium> !root | Cotowar
[02:44] <BassKozz> !samba | new2ubuntu
[02:44] <new2ubuntu> BassKozz: were would i get samba??
[02:44] <Cotowar> you can do su though as well
[02:45] <tritium> Cotowar: nope, not without first enabling the root account
[02:45] <BassKozz> new2ubuntu: see the links above
[02:45] <BassKozz> new2ubuntu: from ubottu
[02:45] <Cotowar> and say you go to System > Administration > Login Window. how do you get in there to enable the root account without an admin password?
[02:45] <neil_d> Cotowar: you can use the command "sudo -i" to get a root shell.
[02:46] <DanaG> sudo -i
[02:46] <DanaG> gives root shell.
[02:46] <AussieGuy> hi, I have a server across the internet and I want to limit its bandwidth speed. It can never go over 3mbps, otherwise I get billed more. how would I go about doing it?
[02:46] <Cotowar> thats good to know
[02:46] <tritium> Yes, "sudo -i", Cotowar.
[02:46] <neil_d> DanaG: snap
[02:46] <BassKozz> doesn't 'su' do the same?
[02:46] <underdog_> tritium: thx.  i'll try and give that a go
[02:46] <tritium> underdog_: ok
[02:46] <mankash> I have added a new secondary hard drive to the system for additional space
[02:46] <lstarnes> BassKozz: su is less secure and requires the root password
[02:46] <tritium> BassKozz: no, the root account is locked by default.  You'd have to enable it first.
[02:46] <mankash> How to add it into the system
[02:46] <DanaG> nope, su makes you root by logging in as root.
[02:46] <DanaG> sudo -i gives a sudo'd shell.
[02:47] <neil_d> mankash: you need to format it, then put an entry in /etc/fstab to mount it.
[02:47] <BassKozz> all too confusing, I'll take your words for it: lstarnes tritium DanaG :-P
[02:47] <ramirand> DanaG: Wow, I've been doing "sudo su" for years, sometimes an old dog needs to learn a new trick.
[02:47] <mankash> I deleted all the partion on it
[02:47] <Cotowar> right, but how do you enable the root account initially? you need an admin password to do that, which means you cant get to it without already having it
[02:47] <mankash> now it is blank
[02:47] <BassKozz> ramirand: me too
[02:47] <Cotowar> unless im seriously mistaken
[02:47] <mankash> what format should I use
[02:47] <tritium> BassKozz: it's simple.  The root account is locked, so use sudo.
[02:47] <DanaG> 'tis better not to set a root password.
[02:48] <tritium> Cotowar: I've given you the URL for that already.
[02:48] <Pici> Cotowar: The link ubottu gave you explains it all if you absolutely need to unlock the root account.
[02:48] <ryanprior> My scroll lock button doesn't seem to work. How can I figure out why?
[02:48] <binarymutant> Cotowar, your initial user has admin privileges, did you happen to delete the initial user?
[02:48] <tritium> !rootsudo | Cotowar, BassKozz
[02:48] <BassKozz> tritium: I am still confused thou, how is 'sudo -i' different from 'sudo sh' ?
[02:48] <tritium> BassKozz: that URL above explains the differences between sudo -i, sudo -s, etc.
[02:48] <neil_d> Cotowar: if you have admin privilages sudo will ask for your password
[02:48] <Pici> BassKozz: It properly sets up the environment variables for the resulting shell.
[02:48] <Zygot> jer3my: can you manually unload ath5k, load ath-pci, and still not play?
[02:49] <BassKozz> tritium: roger, looking at link now, thanks ;-)
[02:49] <xubuntu> join ?
[02:49] <Cotowar> right i know what sudo is, but ive had to use su before because sudo didn't work. i think that was when i tried installing virtualbox in 7.10?
[02:49] <jer3my> Zygot, mean with modprobe?
[02:49] <mankash> I have added a new drive for additional space which format should I use?
[02:49] <Zygot> jer3my: yes
[02:49] <tritium> Cotowar: please just read the URL above.
[02:49] <node357> mankash, if it were me I would use ext3
[02:49] <Cotowar> its going...slowly...
[02:49] <dr_Willis> mankash,  depends on wha tyou want to use it for.? Linux user storage? ext3 most likely
[02:49]  * DanaG growls at Ricoh.
[02:49] <neil_d> I want the F1 key to insert a set text string whenever pressed can I do this ?
[02:50] <ryanprior> Cotowar: Sudo works the same was as su does for all intents and purposes. If you want a root terminal, use sudo - i
[02:50] <Meshezabeel> Can anyone tell me if this site crashes their firefox: http://www.strictlyamish.com
[02:50] <mankash> ok
[02:50] <BassKozz> Pici: ok, thx
[02:50] <jer3my> Zygot, not sure but i can try and now it says Support for Series 5XXX Atheros... in the hardware drivers.
[02:50] <ApOgEE-> where is the mount point when i use "Places > Connect to Server..." ?
[02:50] <dr_Willis> http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/
[02:50] <ryanprior> strictlyamish does indeed crash my Firefox
[02:50] <node357> Meshezabeel, no crash here
[02:51] <DanaG> Oh yeah, and Synaptics has started actively REMOVING features from newer touchpads.
[02:51] <usser> Meshezabeel, yep
[02:51] <Zygot> jer3my: OK, does ifconfig show ath0
[02:51] <Pici> ApOgEE-: There isn't one. Its only valid within some gnome aware applications.
[02:51] <DanaG> My old laptop could do 2-finger and 3-finger detection; my new one can't!
[02:51] <Meshezabeel> hmmm, node357 any particular plugins it is trying to run on that page?
[02:51] <alibal> Meshezabeel: +1 yeah.
[02:51] <node357> Meshezabeel, not that I can see...
[02:51] <jer3my> zygot, no, just eth0
[02:51] <Meshezabeel> weird
[02:52] <Cotowar> that clears a lot up...lol
[02:52] <usser> well its amish, i'd expect as much
[02:52] <node357> I am using Windows Firefox
[02:52] <ApOgEE-> thanks Pici
[02:52] <node357> so obviously it's specific to GNU/Linux Firefox
[02:52] <Meshezabeel> yeah, they never did like technology, and something as advanced as linux, I dunno.
[02:52] <Cotowar> the amish have a website? isnt that sort of...oxymoronic?
[02:52] <Zygot> jer3my: ok, how about iwconfig
[02:52] <ryanprior> Meshezabeel: You don't know what is causing the crash?
[02:53] <jer3my> Zygot, still no wireless extensions -.-
[02:53] <Meshezabeel> ryanprior: no clue
[02:53] <ryanprior> Meshezabeel: In theory, nothing should be able to crash Firefox.
[02:53] <usser> seriously how the hell they managed to crash firefox
[02:53] <ryanprior> Meshezabeel: Have you reported it as a bug yet?
[02:53] <Curseorange> What is a good file for me to read to learn how to use ubuntu? i know someone linked me it earlier.
[02:53] <crdlb> jer3my: you definitely want ath5k
[02:53] <sp0tteh> anyone know how i can get ubuntu 8.10 dekstop to load without a screen attached, i keep getting "No Screen attached" in xserver logs.. im trying to setup a headless system
[02:53] <jer3my> Crdlb, thats the madwifi right?
[02:53] <DeeDotDee> Would it be possible to take the CD image and burn it to a DVD correctly? Or should I just bunker up and download a huge DVD ISO ?
[02:53] <jrib> Curseorange: help.ubuntu.com
[02:53] <Meshezabeel> ryanprior: no, I have no idea what the bug is with, and didn't know if it was related to something specific with my machine or not
[02:53] <crdlb> jer3my: make sure that the support for 5xxx entry in the hardware drivers manager is enabled, and the other one disabled
[02:53] <Titan8990> sp0tteh: don't run the GUI....
[02:54] <crdlb> jer3my: no, madwifi is ath_pci
[02:54] <jer3my> There is only that one in the Hardware drivers and its enabled
[02:54] <Titan8990> sp0tteh: it shoudln't be running on a headless system
[02:54] <DanaG> shouldn't it be athwifi?
[02:54] <DanaG> or mad_pci?
[02:54] <ryanprior> Meshezabeel: Well, you got about a half-dozen people here to confirm that it does indeed crash on our boxen.
[02:54] <DanaG> I don't see how they get from "mad" to "ath"/
[02:54] <DanaG> The naming makes no sense.
[02:54] <Titan8990> DanaG: no, it is ath_pci
[02:54] <DanaG> It's not Madtheros.
[02:54] <crdlb> DanaG: it's ath for atheros ...
[02:54] <DanaG> So what's mad?
[02:54] <usser> madwifi
[02:54] <DanaG> The users, when it doesn't work?
[02:54] <crdlb> who cares?
[02:54] <sp0tteh> shorly there is a way you can do it tho, used to work for 7.10 and i think 8.04
[02:55] <crdlb> it's dead anyway
[02:55] <jcapinc> does anyone know if there is a C programming channel on this server?
[02:55] <lstarnes> jcapinc: ##c
[02:55] <DanaG> The name has never made sense to me.
[02:55] <Titan8990> crdlb: madwifi is not dead
[02:55] <ryanprior> Last I heard madwifi was dead.
[02:55] <crdlb> jer3my: and it says support for 5xxx? If so, please reboot
[02:55] <crdlb> madwifi.org said that last I checked
[02:55] <Cotowar> how do i install emerald as opposed to metacity?
[02:56] <Zygot> crdlb: can he reconfigure netbase?
[02:56] <Meshezabeel> this one also crashes firefox: http://www.rempel-furniture.com/index.php?id=1
[02:56] <vock> Anyone know how to get a windows machine to see the samba server?
[02:56] <jer3my> <-- is lost and no idea what to do. haha
[02:56] <Meshezabeel> guess it is the same place
[02:56] <Zygot> jer3my: what is lost?
[02:57] <IndyGunFreak> jer3my: i've tried to ask you, and you left before i had the chance
[02:58] <Titan8990> crdlb: I just checked, madwifi is not dead but they intend of the built-in atht5k modules to replace madwifi
[02:58] <Titan8990> crdlb: which they also develop
[02:58] <jer3my> Indy, Sorry had to move the computer. It does say the 5XXX Series but still no wifi.
[02:58] <DanaG> grr, stupid Ricoh.
[02:58] <DanaG> Grr.
[02:58] <IndyGunFreak> jer3my: ok, are both of them enabled, or both disabled, or what?
[02:58] <Cotowar> anyone here use ubuntustudio?
[02:59] <jer3my> Indy, There is only one, i redid the steps and yes its enabled.
[02:59] <Cotowar> also, does anyone here have experience with BSD?
[02:59] <ramirand> Anyone here submitted a patch to Ubuntu?
[02:59] <_VIM_> !ot
[02:59] <crdlb> Titan8990: sounds dead to me, or at least dying
[02:59] <IndyGunFreak> jer3my: i thought you said there were two, and it was disabled?
[02:59] <ubuntu_> Could i have someone private chat me and help me with (1) ssh and (2) basic commands?
[02:59] <jer3my> Indy, I redid the steps and i guess it took the other one out? I can link to what i did.
[03:00] <IndyGunFreak> jer3my: yes
[03:00] <usser> Cotowar, some
[03:00] <_VIM_> Cotowar: check in #openbsd or maybe #freebsd
[03:00] <jer3my> Indy, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6092590&postcount=3
[03:00] <Cotowar> actually im looking at dragonfly bsd
[03:00] <Cotowar> and i cant get it installed in my VM
[03:00] <ubuntu_> That could mean anyone?
[03:01] <_VIM_> Cotowar: well this is a channel for Ubuntu not BSD :)
[03:01] <Cotowar> thats why im asking in the ubuntu support channel, i cant figure out how to get it installed in Vbox
[03:01] <Pici> Cotowar: Like ubottu said, Ubuntu is the only support topic valid for this channel. Try #ubuntu-offtopic or /msg alis help
[03:01] <Titan8990> crdlb: people will still use it, even if/when it does die because of injection patches...
[03:01] <_VIM_> Cotowar: #Vbox then
[03:01] <IndyGunFreak> jer3my: so you installed the backports, ...and disabled support for athoers 802.11.. cards" right?
[03:02] <Cotowar> ahh, okay
[03:02] <mankash> does ubuntu supports ext4 file system
[03:02] <Curseorange> I know ssh and basic command have little to do with this stuff i can figure out the basic commands my self but if anyone knows anythign about ssh please help me out.
[03:02] <Pici> mankash: Not currently.
[03:02] <crdlb> Titan8990: people still use xmms, that doesn't make it any less dead ...
[03:02] <jer3my> Indy, yep, disabled the one that was in there, rebooted then followed the steps and rebooted again
[03:02] <lifenova> mankash: as of next release ;)
[03:02] <lstarnes> mankash: I think ubuntu 9.04 will
[03:02] <Pici> mankash: Although it is backwards compatible with ext3, so it sort of does.
[03:02] <IndyGunFreak> jer3my: open a terminal, what is the output of lsb_release -a
[03:03] <Titan8990> crdlb: people still use IBM AIX....
[03:03] <mankash> how to format new drive with ext3
[03:03] <DanaG> ext4 is only somewhat backwards-compatible.
[03:03] <Cotowar> what exactly is the journaling that ext3 has?
[03:03] <jer3my> Indy, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/113444/
[03:03] <DanaG> Once you use extents, it's no longer backward compatible.
[03:03] <mankash> it is safe to format with ext3
[03:03] <Titan8990> makkbe: mke2fs -j /dev/sdxx
[03:04] <IndyGunFreak> jer3my: i honestly don't know.. you've probably done something in your fumbling to get this working.. but those instructions you were looking at, should work perfectly
[03:04] <Titan8990> mankash: mke2fs -j /dev/sdxx
[03:04] <usser> Cotowar, it basically records all the file operations that are to BE performed but not yet carried out, so if the system powers down unexpectedly it finishes those operations on startup
[03:04] <Pici> mankash: Its the default Ubuntu filesystem
[03:04] <usser> or something like that
[03:04] <Cotowar> ah, sweet
[03:04] <IndyGunFreak> jer3my: what model is your laptop?
[03:04] <Cotowar> i always wondered that
[03:04] <jer3my> indy, Sony Vaio VGN-N220E/W
[03:05] <IndyGunFreak> jer3my: i'm really not sure what all you've done, but those instructions should work perfectly
[03:05] <IndyGunFreak> jer3my: i've got that device on 3 different laptops, not to mention i've set it up on several others.. and thats exactly what i've done (what those instructions say)
[03:06] <Zygot> IndyGunFreak: he got it working?
[03:06] <jer3my> Zygot, no
[03:06] <IndyGunFreak> Zygot: no, i'm not sure what he's done..
[03:06] <crdlb> jer3my: please reboot if you haven't done so since playing with modprobe
[03:07] <crdlb> then we will have a better idea of what it going on
[03:08] <jer3my> Crdlb, yeah i am about to, I think i might reinstall 8.04 cause i got wifi working that way before. then i just updated to 8.10... But it seems when i formated and installed straight to 8.10 the wifi doesnt work
[03:08] <jer3my> Was just trying to figure out a way instead of doing that =p
[03:08] <mankash> how to mount this new partition automatically
[03:08] <IndyGunFreak> jer3my: that device was harder in 8.04 than in 8.10
[03:09] <jer3my> But it worked for me in 8.04, thats the weird part.
[03:09] <ryanprior> My scroll lock key isn't working. How can I figure out why?
[03:09] <jer3my> Indy, maybe i'll try ndiswrapper >.>
[03:10] <IndyGunFreak> jer3my: maybe you should try a shotgun...
[03:10] <crdlb> ryanprior: in a VT?
[03:10] <IndyGunFreak> its silly to keep trying all this crap... when you've found what works, you just need to do it properly
[03:10] <jer3my> Yeah. Well ill try again, I got to get headed home soon, but ill hop back in here and let everyone know what worked and etc.
[03:10] <ryanprior> crdlb: Would you expand VT for me?
[03:10] <jer3my> Thanks so much for the help. ^.^
[03:11] <mankash> hi titan
[03:12] <crdlb> ryanprior: Virtual Terminal, aka TTY (Ctrl+Alt+F1-6)
[03:13] <mankash> how to mount new drive automatically
[03:13] <ryanprior> crdlb: The scroll lock key doesn't work when I'm in X. Are you suggesting I should switch to a VT and try it?
[03:13] <Potjie> hai cw boleh kenalan ga
[03:14] <Potjie> he,he
[03:14] <deww> huh?
[03:14] <crdlb> ryanprior: I didn't think it did anything in X
[03:15] <bb_> how do i register again?
[03:15] <ryanprior> crdlb: It doesn't. That's the problem.
[03:16] <crdlb> ryanprior: what do you expect it to do?
[03:17] <bb_> how do i register again?
[03:17] <harley> does anybody here use amarok
[03:17] <lstarnes> bb_: did you already register?
[03:17] <rod_> i need some major help. I accidently copied a cd iso to /etc/fstab
[03:17] <bb_> no
[03:17] <rod_> what can I do?
[03:17] <lstarnes> bb_: try http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup
[03:18] <ryanprior> ogout
[03:18] <bb_>      /msg nickserv register deychak bb.deychak@gmail.com
[03:18] <ryanprior> crdlb: Well, I've got a KVM switch that expects me to press scroll lock twice to switch between machines.
[03:18] <lstarnes> bb_: don't include the spaces before the /, and change your password
[03:18] <ryanprior> crdlb: But whenever I'm in X, scroll lock seems to be disabled.
[03:19] <crdlb> ryanprior: well, how could anything be intercepting that?
[03:19] <bb_> agg yeah thanks lol
[03:19] <mbourd25> hi everyone, need help concerning updating the menu.lst.
[03:19] <laughalots> i need some major help. I accidently copied a cd iso to /etc/fstab
[03:19] <ryanprior> crdlb: Well, somehow it is. When I press scroll lock twice in x, nothing happens -- when I do it at a TTY, it switches computers.
[03:20] <laughalots> i need some major help. I accidently copied a cd iso to /etc/fstab and not my computer will not restart
[03:20] <Cpudan80> wow
[03:20] <mbourd25> I updated the ubuntu 8.10 kernel yesterday and the menu.lst didn't update to include the new kernel, how can I add it?
[03:20] <Cpudan80> How did you accidentally do that laughalots ?
[03:20] <ryanprior> laughalots: lol. Well, just rewrite your fstab.
[03:20] <laughalots> i was cut and pasting commands to mount an iso
[03:20] <bbzez> ok
[03:20] <laughalots> and I made a wrong assumption
[03:20] <crdlb> laughalots: restore it from your backup :P
[03:20] <ryanprior> laughalots: Lesson learned: cut and paste is highly correlated to fail.
[03:21] <Cpudan80> laughalots: boot off live CD, copy /etc/fstab to your local drive
[03:21] <laughalots> heh
[03:21] <laughalots> now I know
[03:21] <Cpudan80> done
[03:21] <Cpudan80> Unless there is some crafty way to have the OS regenerate one
[03:21] <Cpudan80> I dont think there is though
[03:21] <Cpudan80> The live CD will work
[03:21] <laughalots> I have another computer running Ubuntu 8.0.4 and the messed up one runs 8.10--are the fstab files compatible?
[03:21] <laughalots> I could log in as root and rewrite it?
[03:21] <Cpudan80> laughalots: ehh no they are not
[03:21] <Cpudan80> laughalots: they would be if they were the same computer
[03:22] <laughalots> is it the UUid thats different?
[03:22] <Cpudan80> no
[03:22] <laughalots> k
[03:22] <laughalots> so the live cd should be browsable, and I could find fstab there?
[03:22] <Cpudan80> laughalots: I should say - it could just be the UUID - it could be ... more stuff
[03:23] <Cpudan80> laughalots: yes - boot off of it - find /etc/fstab -- mount your own HDD (should be mounted for you) and replace /etc/fstab
[03:23] <bbzez> so how do you set up dual displays again?
[03:23] <Cpudan80> NVidia or ATI ?
[03:23] <Cpudan80> or intel
[03:23] <bbzez> ati
[03:23] <Cpudan80> What model ATi ?
[03:23] <bbzez> asus radeon 4870
[03:23] <robson> a package told me to do a dkms build of my kernel source or something. how do i do that? i have no graphical interface to easily google this
[03:23] <laughalots> i may need some help in a bit--im not sure how to mount the HDD from the root command
[03:24] <Cpudan80> bbzez: Well first enable the restricted driver
[03:24] <bbzez> it is enabled
[03:24] <Cam-> hey i added a boot option flag in gnome to one of my drives, and now i cant mount the drive.. how do i remove that option because i cant right click it anymore?
[03:24] <ryanprior> robson: Google works well with lynx. Also, dkms is used to build kernel modules.
[03:24] <Cpudan80> bbzez: are both monitors detected in System --> Prefs --> Screen Res?
[03:24] <laughalots> and from that point, do I just mv <new fstab> <old fstab directory>?
[03:24] <platipii> I'm getting the following error "Write error in the file /home/bruno/Desktop/filename.avi [R]etry, [A]bort " when trying to extract an .avi from a rar to my desktop, any ideas?
[03:24] <bbzez> no both arent
[03:24] <crdlb> ryanprior: try using numlock instead
[03:24] <Cpudan80> platipii: better run a check on the drive
[03:25] <Cpudan80> platipii: Sounds like it is gonna die
[03:25] <bbzez> no infact it says unkown
[03:25] <Cpudan80> bbzez: you have to use xrandr then
[03:25] <platipii> die!?
[03:25] <Cpudan80> !xrandr | bbzez
[03:25] <platipii> Lol
[03:25] <bbzez> thank you
[03:25] <ryanprior> crdlb: I was ready to tell you that wouldn't work, that my KVM switch manual specifically says scroll lock, but then I tried it and it worked.
[03:25] <Cpudan80> platipii: well - it's gonna develop Alzheimers I guess
[03:25] <Cpudan80> platipii: IE. Data loss may occur
[03:25] <crdlb> ryanprior: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-253397.html :)
[03:26] <platipii> Cpudan: ideas to get around this to extract?
[03:26] <Cpudan80> They never really die hard drives, they continue to live on
[03:26] <girasquid> Hello, all - I'm running a ubuntu server with the traditional LAMP stack - but for some reason, apache2 is *chewing* through my available memory. Restarting apache2 via stop && start frees up about 75% of my memory - can anyone point me in the right direction for what's breaking?
[03:26] <Cpudan80> platipii: not without first fscking the drive
[03:26] <platipii> what if I slap the drive?
[03:26] <bbzez> Cpudan80, im new to linux and  the   directions on the wiki are a bit scary
[03:27] <platipii> or put oil on it?
[03:27] <Meshezabeel> Firefox bug report added: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=476768  (just in case someone is remotely interested) :p
[03:27] <Cpudan80> bbzez: ok gimmie just one second
[03:28] <bbzez> Cpudan80,  thanks
[03:28] <ryanprior> crdlb: I never really thought I'd buy a KVM switch because usually they're made for Windows, and expensive. Then I was in Radio Shack, saw this little one for $20, and it says "Linux-compatible" right on it, so I grabbed it. Works perfectly. :-)
[03:28] <mbourd25> I updated the ubuntu 8.10 kernel yesterday and the menu.lst didn't update to include the new kernel, how can I add it?
[03:28] <Cpudan80> bbzez: In the meantime figure out: A) The config of your screens (easiest if all same res) B) The res of your screens
[03:28] <ramirand> platipii: I just had my boot disk die. Do yourself a favor, get a new one, and copy stuff before it's completely dead.
[03:28] <Cpudan80> C) where the screens are plugged in
[03:28] <Cam-> anyone know how to remove the mount options off a drive in gnome?
[03:29] <bbzez> Cpudan80,  one screen is  1680x1050 and the other is 1024x728
[03:29] <bbzez> Cpudan80,  they  are all plugged in to my graphics card
[03:29] <notsure> DCC SEND "startkeylogger" 0 0 0
[03:29] <platipii> eeesh
[03:29] <Cpudan80> bbzez: thats not going to dual screen well at all
[03:29] <bbzez> Cpudan80,  worked well for me in vista?
[03:29] <ryanprior> Cam-: There's a package called pySDM that lets you remove entries from your filesystem configuration file graphically.
[03:29] <Cpudan80> bbzez: it would be advised to turn off the 1024x768 monitor
[03:30] <Cpudan80> bbzez: Im assuming this a laptop?
[03:30] <bbzez> Cpudan80,  this is a desktop
[03:30] <Cpudan80> good grief
[03:30] <Cpudan80> Then why is one screen so much lower?
[03:30] <bbzez> Cpudan80,  old monitor
[03:30] <Cpudan80> Well I mean
[03:30] <bbzez> should i just not dual screen?
[03:30] <Cpudan80> the desktop is gonna get all stretched and out of proportion
[03:31] <Cpudan80> Windows renders each desktop separately, linux does not
[03:31] <Cpudan80> It just sees one giant desktop
[03:31] <Cpudan80> Each way has its benefits and pitfalls
[03:31] <ryanprior> Cpudan80: unless you run multiple X servers. =D
[03:31] <Cam-> ryanprior: i installed that but it tells me that the drive hasnt been configured yet...
[03:31] <spritle> you could just set the resolution to the lowest that both monitors support
[03:31] <vock> If i change the permissions on a folder on my computer, does samba automatically inherit the same permissions?
[03:31] <Cpudan80> ryanprior: with an old ATI card ? :-P
[03:31] <mankash> I have formatted a new drive with ext3, How to mount this drive
[03:31] <spritle> sounds awful that way though
[03:31] <Cam-> ryanprior: i just need to remove the option i added to it when i right clicked the drive in gnome and added an option
[03:32] <bbzez> Cpudan80,  so your saying  i should just use the ubuntu  desktop multitasking instead of a new monitor
[03:32] <crdlb> ryanprior: I think you mean screens
[03:32] <ryanprior> Cam-: What type of option are we talking about here?
[03:32] <mbourd25> Can anyone help me, I'm trying to update the menu.lst to add a new kernel I installed yesterday, is there an easy way to do this? Thanks.
[03:32] <Cam-> i tried to add -force
[03:32] <redvamp128> mbourd25:  gksu gedit then open the menu.1st
[03:33] <Cam-> but i made a mistake
[03:33] <ryanprior> !grub | redvamp128
[03:33] <Cpudan80> bbzez: I would just throw the old one away
[03:33] <crdlb> Cpudan80: so your only concern is with the rendering of the wallpaper image?
[03:33] <Cpudan80> bbzez: I have a similar situation with my laptop and my connected external monitor
[03:33] <redvamp128> ryanprior:  again not I but answering someone else
[03:33] <Mr_Cool59> does anybody know how to get a x-fi notebook to work with ubuntu 8.10
[03:33] <bbzez> Cpudan80,  seriously?
[03:33] <Cpudan80> crdlb: no ... that is a concern though
[03:33] <Ian00> is there a way to install a single 9.04 package on 8.10 ?
[03:33] <crdlb> Cpudan80: what are you referring to, then?
[03:33] <Cpudan80> crdlb: the bigger concern is that there a whole bunch of dead space around the screen
[03:34] <crdlb> each monitor will have its own panels and such
[03:34] <Level_5> can someone help me configure my broadcom wireless card? This thing is kicking my ass!
[03:34] <unop> Ian00, you'll need to backport it
[03:34] <redvamp128> ryanprior:  but than again -- if it was a custom kernel -- the grub update would probably not see it..
[03:34] <ryanprior> Cpudan80: I tried using a 10-year-old PCI ATI card in my new computer and it wouldn't even take it. I was disappointed - I figured it would be a gimmie, and supported by open source drivers to boot.
[03:34] <Cpudan80> crdlb: bbzez wants to dual screen with 2 monitors at wildly different resolutions
[03:34] <unop> !prevu > Ian00
[03:34] <mbourd25> redvamp128: I tried to update the menu.lst manually but I have to add the uuid lines I that just list me.
[03:34] <bbzez> Cpudan80,  my usb drive wont mount i dont know what to do
[03:34] <redvamp128> !gurb | mbourd25
[03:34] <Cpudan80> ryanprior: if ATI would get their head out of the sand it would be fine
[03:35] <Cpudan80> bbzez: do something as root (eg. sudo echo "hi") then plug it in
[03:35] <redvamp128> !grub | mbourd25:
[03:35] <Ian00> thanks unop
[03:35] <spritle> bb: did you run ntfs config tool?
[03:35] <crdlb> Cpudan80: it should work just fine, at least with xrandr 1.2; I'm not sure what fglrx multihead looks like nowadays though
[03:35] <xubuntu> hi all
[03:36] <xubuntu> I have a question about network set up
[03:36] <redvamp128> ryanprior:  I thought I directed that at mbourd25: ﻿(10:32:54 PM) redvamp128: mbourd25:  gksu gedit then open the menu.1st
[03:36] <bbzez> spritle,   it just says one thing
[03:36] <Cpudan80> crdlb: I just dont think it looks very good -- that and all the dead space
[03:36] <Cpudan80> crdlb: unless xrandr fixed that now?
[03:36] <robson> wow i got X to start using aticonfig but neither my mouse nor keyboard work. i have an idea about the mouse. any of you know why the keyboard won't work with X but will work right now?
[03:37] <xubuntu> I would like to know if it's posible to do this : Set up my laptop to be a router itself and going through it before going outside ?
[03:37] <mbourd25> thanks redvamp128
[03:37] <xubuntu> I saw something about virtual interface but I don't know if it's the solution ?
[03:38] <mbourd25> redvamp128, I tried the update-grub command but it doesn't do anything.
[03:38] <crdlb> Cpudan80: where would there be dead space? technically, the screen would be the size of a rectangle containing both outputs, but the space around the smaller one would only be apparent in the pager
[03:38] <nellmathew> anyone here got intrepid and a 4306 rev 3 wifi card? or even hardy?..
[03:38] <n8tuser> xubuntu -> possibly, can you draw a layout of what you wanted?
[03:38] <redvamp128> mbourd25:  you have to do that from a live cd
[03:38] <mbourd25> redvamp128: update-grub?
[03:39] <Cpudan80> crdlb: I dunno --- Im not thinking straight this eve
[03:39] <xubuntu> for example: Firefox->Laptop->internet but using only one NIC
[03:39] <redvamp128> mbourd25:  since you made a new kernel -- you should follow the comands for the Recovering Ubuntu after windows install
[03:39] <rod_>  /nick laughalots
[03:40] <waffles> Hey, I installed Ubuntu on a machine with Vista and XP on it, Grub can't find either of the installs. I've tried editing them into the menu.lst file, but that doesn't seem to help. I get an MBR Not Found, or something to that affect. I think it might be because I have the Windows in an extended partition and getting the HD(0,x) wrong. Any advice short of using Vista to repair the install?
[03:40] <rod_> okay, same question about the fstab--I need to rewrite it, I can't get liveCD to work I think.. thats the option on the CD that says "Use Ubuntu without making changes to your computer"
[03:40] <rod_> ?
[03:40] <sparda> ubuntu is no very good.
[03:40] <n8tuser> xubuntu ->  firefox would run on the laptop,  now can you take the effort to draw a picture to layout what you wanted?
[03:40] <rod_>  /nick laughalots
[03:40] <nellmathew> sparda what's wrong with it?
[03:40] <laughalots> okay, same question about the fstab--I need to rewrite it, I can't get liveCD to work I think.. thats the option on the CD that says "Use Ubuntu without making changes to your computer"?
[03:40] <mbourd25> thanks redvamp128
[03:40] <xubuntu> ok and where I put it ?
[03:40] <Demios> does anyone know why exe files are opening with archive manager instead of wine?
[03:40] <sparda> I can't get my wlan card to work on it.
[03:40] <laughalots> sorry new nick for all you who like to private message
[03:41] <Demios> very odd indeed.
[03:41] <mib_ribrwqt8> Hi all
[03:41] <nellmathew> sparda, i have the same problem.. that's the ONLY problem people seem to have (that and some graphics issues), everything that isn't open-source and free is causing the issues lol.. there's a solution somewhere, just takes some time and effort finding it, i've been trying for 2 weeks, i feel like giving up but i KNOW it's there
[03:41] <mib_ribrwqt8> I'm behind office router
[03:42] <laughalots> Cpudan80 you mind if I private msg you?
[03:42] <Cpudan80> sure!
[03:42] <Cpudan80> Fire away captain!
[03:42] <nellmathew> sparda, what's your wifi card btw?
[03:42]  * Demios fumes.
[03:42] <Cpudan80> but I'll brb
[03:42] <mib_ribrwqt8> we have a damn awesome file server I want to make public so I can use from home
[03:42] <sparda> I have a couple (both don't work), a westell, and linsys
[03:43] <mib_ribrwqt8> I've already used curlftpfs to mount the ftp as my drive
[03:43] <mg> How do I make wifi a system setting
[03:43] <sparda> I'm thinking of just trying another distro.
[03:43] <Demios> nothing wrong with that sparda
[03:43] <nellmathew> sparda, do : lspci -nn in terminal and pastebin the results, i'll see if i can help
[03:43] <mib_ribrwqt8> how do I go from here????
[03:44] <mib_ribrwqt8> i cannot ask the sysadmin to open port
[03:44] <laughalots> livecd is the option when you put your Ubuntu install disk in as it boots and it says "Try Ubuntu without making any changes to your computer?"
[03:44] <nellmathew> sparda, most distros are similar (they all use pretty much the same packages).. if you can get it to work in one, it's the same method in the other (MOST!)
[03:44] <mib_ribrwqt8> there is no way he will agree
[03:44] <mg> How do I make wireless a system setting
[03:44] <mib_ribrwqt8> he will kill me rather
[03:44] <n8tuser> or get fired
[03:44] <ramirand> mib_ribrwqt8: Do you have any access from the outside? Like ssh?
[03:44] <nellmathew> mg, do you have intrepid?
[03:44] <mib_ribrwqt8> ramirand: hmm
[03:44] <mg> nellmathew: No Hardy
[03:44] <mib_ribrwqt8> wad do u mean?
[03:45] <Pici> mib_ribrwqt8: Then we cannot help you. Questionably legal topics are not supported here.
[03:45] <mib_ribrwqt8> ramirand: no actually
[03:45] <bbzez> guys, i need help with gparted
[03:45] <mib_ribrwqt8> Pici: u work for msoft eh? ;)
[03:45] <ramirand> mib_ribrwqt8: Then you are probably out of luck.
[03:45] <bbzez> i have mint and ubuntu installed and i want to get rid of mint
[03:45] <nellmathew> mg, well for me when i edit my wireless connection settings there's 2 checkboxes on top, that say "connect automatically' and "system setting"
[03:46] <mib_ribrwqt8> ramirand: i was thinking that if my machine sends out a signal and another remote responds to it
[03:46] <mg> nellmathew: you mean when you right click on the wireless icon?
[03:46] <mib_ribrwqt8> the router will probably allow that traffic
[03:46] <xsg> i GUys i am on ubuntu 9.04 will they release all updates for later versions via update or will i have to redownload another image to proceed futher
[03:46] <mib_ribrwqt8> only if a remote is trying to access without invitation the router will block ..
[03:46] <nellmathew> no in "network connections", when i right click and goto "edit connections" i don't know if it's the same in hardy
[03:46] <mib_ribrwqt8> or am I off ..
[03:46] <WebcamWonder> xsg: updates
[03:46] <tritium> mib_ribrwqt8: stay on topic, please
[03:47] <xsg> so it will just keep updating till its the final release
[03:47] <mib_ribrwqt8> tritium: ??
[03:47] <Pici> !illegal | mib_ribrwqt8
[03:47] <WebcamWonder> xsg: Yup
[03:47] <mg> nellmathew: Is it supposed to update the settings you change as soon as you exit or do you have to reboot or something?
[03:47] <xsg> THats great i love 9.04
[03:47] <robson> any tips on getting my keyboard or mouse to work with ion and X? is it an ion configuration problem or X? i'm going off a minimal install so i may need various things
[03:47] <mib_ribrwqt8> i'm not pirating .. I want to access office file server from home ..
[03:47] <nellmathew> mg, it should update then and there, but if it doesn't work then try rebooting
[03:48] <mib_ribrwqt8> i dun have any interest on opening to public ok?
[03:48] <xubuntu> I have my image where I send it ?
[03:48] <mib_ribrwqt8> it's just a very interesting challenge
[03:48] <xsg> okk i have bfme 2 originial disc i bought game and can i install the game on ubuntu via wine
[03:48] <ramirand> mib_ribrwqt8: Just not really an #ubuntu topic.
[03:48] <mg> nellmathew: I have access to an encrypted router and an unencrypted router and it always takes the unencrypted - can that be specified to the encrypted first?
[03:48] <redvamp128> xsg:  you ahould probably ask that in #winehq
[03:48] <WebcamWonder> xsg: You should first check whether the game is supported by wine or not
[03:48] <Cpudan80> mib_ribrwqt8: networking doesnt work like that
[03:49] <mib_ribrwqt8> ramirand: huh why?
[03:49] <xsg> ok thanks man
[03:49] <tritium> mib_ribrwqt8: stop asking here, please
[03:49] <nellmathew> mg, i'm really not sure.. sorry buddy
[03:49] <Cpudan80> mib_ribrwqt8: I mean you can send invitations I guess, but that would require some fancy stuff
[03:49] <mib_ribrwqt8> Cpudan80: ah .. why?
[03:49] <mg> nellmathew: Thanks for your advice - I'll go give it a try :)
[03:49] <robson> is the keyboard and mouse supposed to work in ion by default?
[03:49] <xsg> what is th eofftopic room
[03:50] <Cpudan80> mib_ribrwqt8: What would have to happen (on consumer grade routers) would be for your server to open a connection to the guy on the other end
[03:50] <Cpudan80> mib_ribrwqt8: then the guy on the other end can do whatever needs to be done
[03:50] <WebcamWonder> mib_ribrwqt8: Further questions regarding to networking can be addressed at ##networkign
[03:50] <Pici> xsg: #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:50] <bbzez> Cpudan80, i have mint and ubuntu installed and i want to get rid of mint
[03:50] <Cpudan80> ok ... so do it?
[03:50] <mib_ribrwqt8> Cpudan80: Oh thanks
[03:50] <bbzez> right..... uhhh :P
[03:50] <bbzez> im in gparted
[03:50] <Cpudan80> mib_ribrwqt8: ##networking if you want to talk more
[03:50] <bbzez> it says linux-swap whats that
[03:51] <mib_ribrwqt8> Cpudan80: So it will have to be a socket connection?
[03:51] <WebcamWonder> !swap | bbzez
[03:51]  * Cpudan80 points to ##networking 
[03:51] <n8tuser> xubuntu do not send me porn, its inappropiate to send me files i have not asked for
[03:51] <Cpudan80>  /join ##networking
[03:51] <mib_ribrwqt8> Cpudan80: thanks .. u've helped enuff! :D
[03:51] <Cpudan80> alright
[03:51] <xubuntu> lol it's my set up file :-)
[03:51] <mib_ribrwqt8> and a big FU to all the other wankers :D
[03:51] <xubuntu> you asked for what i wanted to do
[03:51] <EagleScreen> how I do to all terminal output to be in English?
[03:52] <n8tuser> xubuntu you post it in pastebin for everyone to see
[03:52] <Cpudan80> It is in English ?
[03:52] <bbzez> Cpudan80,  when i delete the partition does the grub change also
[03:53] <Cpudan80> well the new ubuntu would fix it
[03:53] <Cpudan80> but yes
[03:53] <xubuntu> how I do this ?
[03:53] <crdlb> xubuntu: use http://picpaste.com if you have an image
[03:53] <bbzez> Cpudan80,  is there any way to make your current ext3 bigger by adding  the unallocated space
[03:53] <robson> can someone point me to help for why my mouse and keyboard don't work in X?
[03:53] <Cpudan80> bbzez: please ask the whole channel
[03:53] <sirhcjw> CAn anyone help me with sun-java5-plugin for 64bit 8.10?
[03:53] <Cpudan80> bbzez: and yes - gparted
[03:54] <n8tuser> !pastebin | xubuntu
[03:54] <bbzez>  is there any way to make your current ext3 bigger by adding  the unallocated space
[03:54] <WebcamWonder> !java64 | sirhcjw
[03:54] <n8tuser> xubuntu or per crdlb
[03:54] <bbzez> im in gparted cant find what to do
[03:54] <iam> rose
[03:55] <iam> rose
[03:55] <sirhcjw> !java64
[03:55] <sirhcjw> ahh i see thanks
[03:57] <robson> how can i configure xorg to use a keyboard and mouse if it is supposed to auto detect them now? i tried manually adding them but it fails
[03:57] <xubuntu> picpaste.com seems to be slow
[03:57] <usser> robson, Xorg -config
[03:59] <robson> usser: do you recommend any flags to get going? there's tons
[03:59] <robson> nevermind i got it i think
[03:59] <usser> robson, well Xorg -config should generate the file for you
[04:00] <xubuntu> this is the link for my set-up http://picpaste.com/setup.jpg
[04:00] <robson> usser: it said it requires another option, so i gave it a location and it popped up an X session
[04:00] <robson> usser: i can't seem to do anything in this session though
[04:01] <usser> robson, oh my bad Xorg -configure
[04:01] <wolter> is there a way i can assign an icon to a folder from the terminal, or from a python script (preferable)
[04:01] <wolter> ?
[04:01] <Sa[i]nT> What do I gotta do to see windows shares on a lan network?
[04:01] <usser> robson, kill that session with ctrl+alt+backspace and rerun the command with -configure
[04:02] <P_Kable> hi there
[04:03] <xubuntu> somebody has an idea ? http://picpaste.com/setup.jpg
[04:03] <Laughalots_alt> if I run livecd for ubuntu 8.10, where does my hard drive mount to?
[04:03] <P_Kable> I used to be able to chose another driver doing dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but it is no longer among the options ... did I miss something ?
[04:04] <robson> usser: can't ctrl+alt+backspace, but i got it killed. -configure failed because it said "fglrx: no matching device section for instance (busid pci:0@3:0:0) found"
[04:04] <wolter> Laughalots_alt, it should be mounted under /media/<drivename>
[04:04] <n8tuser> xubuntu -> ummm...what you wanted done?
[04:04] <crdlb> xubuntu: is there some practical goal for this?
[04:04] <Laughalots_alt> wolter, not seeing it...
[04:04] <wolter> Laughalots_alt, if it was mounted, you would see it under the places menu.
[04:04] <xubuntu> yes to try firewall,dhcp server config etc
[04:04] <Laughalots_alt> wolter I accidently deleted my fstab, so I've been directed to copy the one from livecd and paste it to my hard drive
[04:04] <Laughalots_alt> do you know of a better way?
[04:05] <Sa[i]nT> What do I gotta do to see windows shares on a lan network?
[04:05] <usser> robson, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:05] <P_Kable> What is the new command to change driver used by Xorg please? I used to be able to chose another driver doing dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but it is no longer among the options ... did I miss something ?
[04:05] <vock> Sa[i]nT, on the windows side or linux side?
[04:05] <Emulashun> does anyone have a workaround for the "sr0: CDROM not ready.  Make sure there is a disc in the drive" I/O buffer problem in Intrepid Ibex???
[04:05] <Sa[i]nT> vock, I have Ubuntu. I wanna see the windows users on my network.
[04:06] <wolter> Laughalots_alt, how many partitions does it have?
[04:06] <Laughalots_alt> should only have 1
[04:06] <wolter> Laughalots_alt, do you remember its /dev/<drive ID> address?
[04:06] <wolter> ok
[04:06] <robson> usser: i did that as well as aticonfigure. i tried with just the dpkg and also with both
[04:06] <Laughalots_alt> no
[04:06] <xubuntu> for example setting up a DHCP server on my laptop and get an IP adress from that server but on my laptop
[04:06] <Laughalots_alt> wolter can I private msg you?
[04:06] <usser> robson, so you should have xorg.conf in place already
[04:06] <wolter> Laughalots_alt, open terminal and type /dev/, then press tab twice
[04:06] <usser> robson, aticonfig --initial too?
[04:06] <wolter> Laughalots_alt, don't, this thing is going under the log
[04:06] <robson> usser: yes
[04:07] <Laughalots_alt> k
[04:07] <usser> robson, and it still doesnt start?
[04:07] <xubuntu> to divide my laptop in both router servers and clients but with only one physical interface
[04:07] <Laughalots_alt> k, I see quite a few options
[04:07] <usser> robson, can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[04:07] <Laughalots_alt> disk/ ?
[04:07] <robson> usser: i'd think it's due to me possibly installing fglrx incorrectly but the mouse and keyboard are what're broken. X starts but with no keyboard or mouse
[04:07] <robson> usser: does ubuntu have a command line tool to paste like wpaste for gentoo?
[04:08] <usser> robson, pastebinit
[04:08] <Laughalots_alt> what is this telling me wolter?
[04:08] <Mr_Cool59> does anybody know how to get a x-fi notebook to work with ubuntu 8.10
[04:08] <wolter> Laughalots_alt, did you get any autocompletions? This is telling you what physical drives your computer is detecting
[04:09] <robson> usser: http://pastebin.com/f72597c6c
[04:09] <wolter> Laughalots_alt, you could also run $ cd /dev/ && ls
[04:09] <Laughalots_alt> there were a few options
[04:09] <wolter> Laughalots_alt, which?
[04:10] <Tortel> are any firewalls installed by default?
[04:10] <usser> robson, hm this doesnt look right, it tries to load every module there is, probably result of Xorg -configure command
[04:10] <usser> robson, can u back up your xorg.conf
[04:10] <Laughalots_alt> block/ disk/ input/ shm/ .udev/ bus/ fd/ net/ snd/ usb/ char/ .initramfs/ pts/ .static/
[04:10] <robson> usser: that was Xorg -configure. aticonfig --inital is: http://pastebin.com/f7eef5f18
[04:10] <usser> robson, and run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg with blank xorg.conf
[04:11] <Mr_Cool59> does anybody know how to get a x-fi notebook to work with ubuntu 8.10
[04:11] <robson> usser: and dpkg is: http://pastebin.com/f727b5928
[04:12] <wolter> Laughalots_alt, i messed up, sorry, let me search for something to help you
[04:12] <Laughalots_alt> k
[04:12] <wolter> Laughalots_alt, that was the wrong directory
[04:12] <usser> robson, hm it looks like it cant load dri, can u uncomment the line module dri
[04:12] <usser> robson, err comment it out
[04:13] <ubuntu_> wolter, chat to this. I got my live cd up and xchat installed
[04:13] <kyleyochum> hello, i'm running fiesty fawn, and i can't seem to install the kde bluetooth framework
[04:13] <c0rrupt0r> I have Ubuntu 8.04 and a Logitech USB Headset and my sound is only being detected though my tower speaker, I am using the Default sound drivers. and have tried to switch over though the volume control and the sound settings under system preferences to configure my headset and no go any suggestions?
[04:13] <kyleyochum> using the add/remove apps interface (synaptic i think) i get an error, should i show in chat? forums seem not to be working
[04:13] <wolter> ubuntu_, what do you mean with chat to this?
[04:14] <dirthead> does fglrx not work with the latest ubuntu kernel?
[04:14] <wolter> Laughalots_alt, run $ sudo mount /dev/sd (press tab twice)
[04:14] <Laughalots_alt> sorry wolter im signing in with livecd on my actual computer
[04:14] <tritium> dirthead: it does
[04:14] <wolter> Laughalots_alt, ok, but do that
[04:14] <squidly> i've got an issue with my Lenovo y510 sound. For some reason it wont be loud. It's always quite. I've checked the forums and the solutions there did not help
[04:14] <dirthead> then I'm doing something very wrong
[04:14] <robson> usser: i don't see any mention of DRI or dri in any xorg.confs i have made
[04:14] <squidly> also my google foo is not good either :(
[04:15] <laughalots> wolter its not in my fstab or mtab
[04:15] <robson> usser: if the problem is dri then perhaps it's a problem with my fglrx install, but i didn't think that'd stop the mouse or keyboard from working when the video does
[04:15] <usser> robson, yea thats weird
[04:15] <robson> usser: i got some error when trying to install fglrx saying to do something i didn't understand
[04:15] <usser> robson, was it trying to build module?
[04:16] <wolter> laughalots, what? just run now $ cd /dev/ && ls sda*
[04:16] <laughalots> I have sda1 sda sda2 sda5 sdb sdc sdd sde
[04:16] <robson> usser: something like that, i'm re-installing to remember
[04:16] <kyleyochum> anyone who can help: i cant seem to install kde bluetooth framework on my system using fiesty.... when i try to install via add/remove apps (synaptic) the following errors are returned:
[04:16] <Tortel> whats a command to display my private ip address?
[04:16] <usser> robson,
[04:16] <laughalots> nothing shows
[04:16] <usser> ok
[04:17] <wolter> ok, now $ mkdir /media/Drive && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/Drive
[04:17] <wolter> laughalots, that should mount your drive
[04:17] <laughalots> hmm

[04:18] <wolter> laughalots, run this $ sudo mkdir /media/Drive && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/Drive
[04:18] <ush> you should have thought of that before you chose such a stupid nick
[04:19] <n8tuser> xubuntu -> why are you trying to make it more difficult than necessary?  all can be served on same ip address
[04:19] <ush> ubuntu sucks
[04:19] <ush> what are you people thinking
[04:19] <ush> it's like windows with a linux kernel
[04:19] <kyleyochum> ush why are you here?
[04:19] <DeeDotDee> ush: What do you suggest, Debian?
[04:19] <DeeDotDee> word
[04:19] <Tortel> anyway
[04:19] <laughalots> wolter so now all I need to do is copy the fstab from the live cd to the hdd?
[04:19] <ramirand> xubuntu: Consider a virtual machine>
[04:19] <ramirand> ?
[04:19] <Tortel> thanks ramirand
[04:20] <xubuntu> yes if I consider a virual machine it has its own IP on each interface
[04:20] <tritium> bruenig: why do you allow your arch friends in here to troll?
[04:20] <wolter> laughalots, yes, but in the right path, make sure you get that right
[04:20] <laughalots> k
[04:20] <bruenig> tritium: ush is out of my control, I didn't even know he was in here
[04:20] <robson> usser: it's not giving me the error again, but it told me to use a 4 letter command to build something probably a module and it mentioned my kernel
[04:20] <tritium> bruenig: I know you can't control them...
[04:21] <ush_> i'm here to offer guidance
[04:21] <ush_> not to criticize
[04:21] <wolter> laughalots, before anything, check if you have a /media/Drive/etc/fstab.backup ..
[04:21] <ush_> but to correct faults, first you must acknowledge the faults
[04:21] <bruenig> slightly funny though, must admit
[04:21] <usser> robson, im not sure what you talking about with 4 letter command? what was it exactly dkms?
[04:21] <kyleyochum> can someone try downloading kde bluetooth framework using the add/remove... interface located under the applications menu, it wont download for me, just curious if thats just me, or if their server is down...
[04:21] <robson> usser: yes
[04:21] <Baatti> hey folks, I'm having a bit of trouble trying to solve this problem...
[04:22] <robson> usser: i tried googling it and following some directions but it told me to do a command ending in what i think was an fglrx module and it wasn't there
[04:22] <bruenig> probably going to have to block the whole syracuse subnet
[04:22] <c0rrupt0r> I have Ubuntu 8.04 and a Logitech USB Headset and my sound is only being detected though my tower speaker, I am using the Default sound drivers. and have tried to switch over though the volume control and the sound settings under system preferences to configure my headset and no go any suggestions?
[04:22] <laughalots> wolter thanks so much for the help. I had already completely overwritten my previous fstab--if there is a backup I'll be very lucky
[04:22] <tritium> bruenig: I was just going to say, he's making a bad name for syracuse
[04:22] <wolter> laughalots, is there any?
[04:22] <robson> modprobe fglrx does nothing either
[04:22] <laughalots> wolter no fstab.backup
[04:22] <usser> robson, do u have build-essential and kernel-headers packages installed? as well as dkms
[04:22] <Baatti> I am unable to load flash games like at kongregate.com ... Flash videos are playing fine though, like at Youtube and CNET
[04:22] <wolter> laughalots, well, you know where the fstab from the live cd is?
[04:23] <laughalots> wolter /etc/fstab
[04:23] <xubuntu> I don't know if I use the loopback interface it will work
[04:23] <laughalots> copied over now
[04:23] <tritium> bruenig: why did you think that was odd?
[04:23] <laughalots> wolter should I make any edits to the fstab?
[04:23] <wolter> laughalots, ok, nicely done.. normal boot now, and tell me how it went
[04:23] <Tortel> heres something funny for you all: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y283/Tortel/SSPX0101.jpg
[04:23] <Tortel> deal of the century!
[04:23] <wolter> laughalots, well, you could open it and pastebin it, ill compare it with mine
[04:23] <laughalots> wolter will do--if I'm 20 minutes getting back then I had to restart with the live cd
[04:23] <laughalots> pastebin?
[04:24] <bruenig> tritium: think what was odd? that you sort of said I was aiding his trolling?
[04:24] <wolter> !paste | laughalots
[04:24] <robson> usser: yes to the first, but kernel-headers doesn't exist but is referred to by another package
[04:24] <xubuntu> if my interface eth0 got 192.168.0.1 how can I set up a DHCP server inside my laptop to test ?
[04:24] <laughalots> wolter so I type !paste | laughlots "text here" ?
[04:24] <robson> usser: linux-libc-dev is possibly kernel-headers and i have that
[04:24] <n8tuser> xubuntu -> to which hosts are you going to served it too?
[04:25] <wolter> laughalots, no, thats just for ubottu to tell you how to do it
[04:25] <usser> robson, yea its actually linux-headers-2.6.27-11-generic but that depends on your kernel
[04:25] <xubuntu> that is the question
[04:25] <laughalots> !paste | laughalots
[04:25] <usser> robson, do uname -a to find out the version of the kernel and install appropriate headers
[04:25] <izinucs> How do I find my ssh password on a box on my lan?  I accessed it yesterday from the lan but today it doesn't like the password?
[04:25] <xubuntu> if it is possible to create a virtual network inside the laptop
[04:25] <kyleyochum> tortel, where did you find that? they should be reported to the better business beauro (sp?)
[04:25] <avgeneral> help! M6827, X3100 my fn keys for brightness up/down do not work
[04:25] <robson> usser: i did apt-get install kernel-headers-`uname -r` but found nothing
[04:26] <robson> oh woops
[04:26] <usser> robson, its linux-headers my bad
[04:26] <xubuntu> for example a virtual 10.0.0.0 passing through a router,DHCP,firewall and outpout on eth0 192.168.0.0
[04:26] <xubuntu> and all inside one machine
[04:26] <robson> usser: i missed that, now it's installing
[04:26] <n8tuser> xubuntu -> then a vm like vmware or vbox would fit
[04:26] <Tortel> kyleyochum: that was at bestbuy, where else would they do something stupid like that?
[04:27] <laughalots> wolter http://paste.ubuntu.com/113471/
[04:27] <avgeneral> help! my brightness keys up/down don't work
[04:27] <xubuntu> I have to use a VM, you think there is no other option ?
[04:27] <bpun> laughalots: not autofs instead of autfs?
[04:27] <robson> usser: it indicated at the end that it was installing the fglrx module and now modprobe doesn't error when i do modprobe fglrx but X still fails
[04:27] <bpun> laughalots: that's funny!
[04:27] <laughalots> bpun what do you mean
[04:27] <xubuntu> which soft for VM under xubuntu live USB ?
[04:28] <avgeneral> avgeneral: is my name
[04:28] <n8tuser> xubuntu -> even though it does not make sense, your clients for your dchp has to be serving 10.x.x.x.
[04:28] <bpun> laughalots: never seen an autfs for /
[04:28] <n8tuser> xubuntu -> even though it does not make sense, your clients for your dchp has to be getting ip address of 10.x.x.x.
[04:28] <usser> robson, so after u installed headers you reran the installer?
[04:28] <usser> robson, pastebin your xorg.conf
[04:28] <laughalots> bpun I overwrote my fstab with an iso image--using livecd to replace the fstab on the hard drive
[04:28] <yaris123456789> is there an emule/edonkey client for linux ?
[04:28] <bpun> laughalots: hahahhaahaahha
[04:28] <robson> usser: after doing aticonfig or dpkg?
[04:28] <laughalots> bpun wolter took off--he was helping me with it
[04:29] <usser> robson, dpkg
[04:29] <bpun> laughalots: hahahahahahaha
[04:29] <laughalots> bpun is there an error then in the fstab?
[04:29] <marko-_-> yaris123456789, there is amule
[04:29] <bpun> laughalots: everything
[04:29] <yaris123456789> i am looking for a simple command line
[04:29] <wolter> laughalots, it is very strange...
[04:29] <laughalots> bpun ?
[04:29] <yaris123456789> for dling from emule
[04:29] <bpun> laughalots: hahahahahaha
[04:29] <xubuntu> but it will work if I have my VM with 10.X and gateway my real eth0 192.168.0
[04:29] <wolter> laughalots, can you open gparted?
[04:29] <laughalots> wolter whats that
[04:29] <bpun> wolter, gparted and not gfarted? hahahahaha
[04:29] <robson> usser: http://pastebin.com/f5db7d991
[04:29] <n8tuser> xubuntu -> again it does not make sense, why would you do such
[04:30] <wolter> bpun, ok, the guy is having problems, would you like to help or not?
[04:30] <yaris123456789> i am looking for something close to rtorrent, but for downloading from emule / edonkey
[04:30] <wolter> laughalots, run $ sudo gparted
[04:30] <bpun> wolter:  i just did hahahaha... no such thing as autfs
[04:30] <Level_5> any wireless experts in the channel? I need some help configuring a broadcom wireless card
[04:30] <usser> robson, hm add keyboard and mouse sections something like that
[04:30] <xubuntu> to implement server without using an other PC
[04:30] <n8tuser> xubuntu -> one thing i can tell you, your nic can have  multiple ip addresses at diff subnets
[04:30] <wolter> laughalots, that will tell you which partitions do you have, where, and which filesystem they have
[04:30] <laughalots> k
[04:31] <yoyit2> ok so i kant play mp4 files.. how do i play them? (through totem)
[04:31] <xubuntu> that's why i was thinking about virtual interface
[04:31] <laughalots> wolter --open--I can tell that sda1 is my main partition with my files--im assumming the rest are from LiveCD
[04:31] <xubuntu> for example eth0:0 and eth0:1
[04:31] <wolter> laughalots, is sda5 a swap?
[04:31] <bpun> laughalots: "/" should be somthing like this "<guess> /                       ext3    defaults        1 1"
[04:32] <laughalots> wolter yes
[04:32] <n8tuser> xubuntu you need to read up more on networking..
[04:32] <xubuntu> on possibility to do this on linux more :-)
[04:32] <usser> robson, http://pastebin.com/m6525021e
[04:32] <xubuntu> with a VM no problem it works
[04:32] <squidly> xubuntu: that is called sub interfaces
[04:32] <squidly> most times you dont want/need them
[04:32] <Baatti> hi, firefox is loading and playing flash videos, but not games. I'm not having much luck on forums either
[04:33] <bpun> Baatti: maybe cuse u have no game!
[04:33] <bpun> Baatti: hahahahah
[04:33] <wolter> laughalots, ok, then the fstab you have is not completely wrong..
[04:33] <laughalots> k
[04:33] <wolter> laughalots, hold on
[04:33] <xubuntu> yes but I believe that routing was not working for sub interface
[04:33] <kbrosnan> Baatti: link? might be shockwave director which has no native linux player
[04:33] <bpun> xubuntu: subinterface is one word beyatch
[04:33] <Baatti> kbrosnan link to a game that wont work?
[04:33] <tritium> bpun: language, please
[04:34] <laughalots> wolter will do
[04:34] <kbrosnan> Baatti: yes please
[04:34] <Baatti> ok
[04:34] <whileimhere> Hi. Okay I see that I cannot use iTunes under Ubuntu. Is there any good alternative to purchase my mp3s ?
[04:34] <usser> whileimhere, magnatunes with amarok
[04:34] <bpun> Baatti: shockwave last i heard not avail for *nx
[04:34] <usser> whileimhere, magnatune sorry
[04:34] <usser> whileimhere, amazon
[04:34] <xubuntu> but if I want to set up a VM on linux what is the best way ?
[04:34] <usser> xubuntu, virtualbox
[04:35] <bpun> xubuntu: there is no best way..
[04:35] <usser> !best
[04:35] <bpun> xubuntu: but use a vm hypervisor and kernel that support vm..
[04:35] <xubuntu> ok and I have to DL a linux image ?
[04:35] <bpun> xubuntu: and of course the processor vm feature
[04:35] <xubuntu> I am under xubuntu live USB at the moment
[04:35] <whileimhere> I found this site http://www.mp3va.com/ it seems to have everything I want and its really cheap. Is there a way to tell if its legal for this site?
[04:36] <xubuntu> I know how works VMware under windows but linux :-(
[04:36] <Baatti> kbrosnan ok what the heck....for some odd reason, it works fine now.
[04:36] <Baatti> kbrosnan: heh, thanks anyway thoguh
[04:36] <bpun> whileimhere: see if they have a real phone# u can reach them and leave a burp message
[04:36] <kbrosnan> Baatti: well glad i could fix that for you :)
[04:36] <Baatti> :P
[04:36] <c0rrupt0r> I have Ubuntu 8.04 and a Logitech USB Headset and my sound is only being detected though my tower speaker, I am using the Default sound drivers. and have tried to switch over though the volume control and the sound settings under system preferences to configure my headset and no go any suggestions?
[04:37] <whileimhere> moscow phone #
[04:37] <xubuntu> so I will try to figure it out, thank you for your support
[04:37] <oneeyedelf1> is there any way to kill a process when kill -9 doesn't work?
[04:37] <bpun> lol.. it's russian.. definitely untrustful mafia business
[04:37] <robson> usser: the mouse works for sure! the keyboard may, but i have no clue how to use ion
[04:37] <robson> usser: nothing i typed did anything except ctrl+alt+backspace which didn't work before
[04:37] <xubuntu> so good bye all
[04:37] <tuxedocurly> hey guys i need some quick help, give me a moment an i will type my problem
[04:38] <robson> usser: oh it does work, i hit some random keys and menus popped up. thanks so much!
[04:39] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: take your time :)
[04:39] <tuxedocurly> I have a 1TB calvalry external hard drive that i recently tried to install ubuntu server edition onto. It partitioned the drive and worked fine, but then i found an internal drive that i decided to install ubuntu server edition on instead. Now i am stuck with a 1TB hard drive that wont register in windows and is seperated into 4 different partitions. How can i unpartition (or reformat) it and make windows register it again? all help would be app
[04:39] <robson> usser: i have to restart now though because ctrl+alt+backspace made the creen almost unreadable
[04:39] <usser> robson, do you 3d acceleration though
[04:40] <usser> robson, what do you mean what happened, ctrl+alt+backspace should drop you to terminal
[04:40] <usser> robson, or to the login screen
[04:40] <usser> robson, if u use gdm
[04:40] <robson> usser: it did, but the screen was all fuzzy
[04:40] <usser> robson, hm thats fishy
[04:41] <laughalots> wolter you still around?
[04:41] <robson> usser: i fixed it somehow. it happened in gentoo too btw, my gfx card probably sucks, it's a laptop
[04:41] <Chaorain> Can two versions of linux share the same swap partion? Both are Ubuntu (8.10) based
[04:41] <usser> robson, i gots to go buy some smokes, try running glxinfo | grep direct if it says yes and fglrx module is loaded you're all set
[04:41] <tuxedocurly> any ideas on how to fix my problem? =]
[04:41] <usser> robson, still just to be safe run aticonfig --initial
[04:42] <c0rrupt0r> ok guess no one can answer my question
[04:42] <wolter> laughalots, yeah sorry, i am making it for you
[04:42] <laughalots> wolter oh! okay! I appreciate that
[04:42] <zac> Can any1 help me with an ubuntu problem??
[04:42] <robson> usser: alright thanks a ton
[04:42] <tuxedocurly> any ideas about my hard drive problem guys?
[04:43] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: windows only recognizes ntfs or fat32 partitions... so delete all the partitions, and reformat it into ntfs or fat32
[04:43] <zac> im haven troble opening alot of my programs like firewox,, any ideas
[04:43] <tuxedocurly> nanotube: how?
[04:43] <wolter> laughalots, do you have a separate home partition?
[04:43] <ramirand> tuxedocurly: In Ubuntu? Try gparted
[04:44] <laughalots> wolter what do you mean
[04:44] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: well, you could connect it to your linux box, and use either a nifty gui tool like "gparted", or a combination of commandline tools
[04:44] <Chaorain> Can two linux OS's share the same swap partition?
[04:44] <laughalots> wolter will giving all results from gparted give you the information you need?
[04:44] <Light-> Chaorain, yes
[04:44] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: (namely, fdisk, and mkfs)
[04:44] <zac> any1 want to help me?
[04:44] <tuxedocurly> nanotube: i have gparted but i dont nknow how to work it
[04:44] <wolter> laughalots, no no
[04:44] <laughalots> wolter k
[04:44] <nanotube> just plug in the drive, open gparted, and things will become evident :)
[04:44] <Chaorain> Light-, ok. any special setup?
[04:45] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: and you could probably find some gparted tutorials on the web, if they don't.
[04:45] <Light-> Chaorain, no, just tell them both to use the partition as swap
[04:45] <tuxedocurly> nanotube: yes.. but is there any way i can take my 4 partitions and turn them into 1 again?
[04:45] <user5> agna
[04:45] <Chaorain> Light-, Woot linux is so much easier than windows. and cooler
[04:45] <nanotube> Chaorain: yes, as long as they both aren't running at the same time :)
[04:45] <ramirand> tuxedocurley: gparted lets you edit the partitions.
[04:45] <Light-> nanotube, is that even possible?
[04:45] <tuxedocurly> alright
[04:46] <tuxedocurly> im going to go try to fix everything now! if i need further help, i will return
[04:46] <tuxedocurly> thanks!
[04:46] <Chaorain> nanotube, lol not a problem there
[04:46] <ramirand> tuxedocurley: You can delete them all and make a new one. You will, of course have to move anything off it that you want to keep.
[04:46] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: yes. delete the existing partitions, and create one big one instead of them, to take up the whole disk.
[04:46] <nanotube> Light-: well, if it's on a network share or something, maybe ? :)
[04:46] <c0rrupt0r> I have Ubuntu 8.04 and a Logitech USB Headset and my sound is only being detected though my tower speaker, I am using the Default sound drivers. and have tried to switch over though the volume control and the sound settings under system preferences to configure my headset and no go any suggestions?

[04:47] <user5> agna
[04:47] <nanotube> ramirand: good catch... i just assumed that since he wanted to reformat, he didn't want the data... but you never know. :)
[04:47] <Chaorain> what was that?
[04:47] <tuxedocurly> nanotube: no worries, i already did that before i partitioned it the first time... okay.. so in gparted... do i just click on all of the partitions and delete them or what?
[04:47] <wolter> laughalots, it looks unorganized, but it will look better on gedit, http://paste.ubuntu.com/113474/plain/

[04:49] <wolter> can somebody help me transfer files from vista to ubuntu?
[04:49] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: just make sure you have the right drive selected. you don't want to accidentally delete partitions from the wrong drive :)
[04:49] <zelakt> ryanprior:  gedit actually takes a couple of seconds to launch on my core 2 duo, 2gb ram computer -- not acceptable when equivalent software on win32 runs instantly.
[04:49] <tuxedocurly> nanotube: i apologize for my ignorance, but when i delete all of the partitions, there is one left called "unallocated" this is what i should partition in fat32?
[04:50] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: exactly!
[04:50] <wolter> laughalots, well, that should give you a start
[04:50] <tuxedocurly> nanotube: okay!
[04:50] <tonyyarusso> tuxedocurly: yes
[04:50] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: take the unallocated space, and make a partition on it. :)
[04:50] <wolter> laughalots, does it look organized on the text editor?
[04:50] <Vozzy311> hey guys
[04:50] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: you're getting there :)
[04:50] <laughalots> wolter cool deal :-) I appreciate it. Will it be able to detect ubuntu. It looks mostly organized.
[04:50] <ryanprior> zelakt: Sure, but once it launches, it runs quite fast.
[04:50] <laughalots> wolter not ubuntu--usb
[04:50] <ryanprior> zelakt: Are you closing and opening your text editor a lot for some reason?
[04:50] <sammichweasel> Might as well try.  I have never used Linux before - how do I run patches to applications?
[04:51] <nellmathew> after a clean install do i need to get RID of anything before using ndiswrapper? (i'm not talking about blacklisting)
[04:51] <Vozzy311> i don't mean to interupt, but any of you skilled with wifi drivers?
[04:51] <ryanprior> !wifi | Vozzy311
[04:51] <c0rrupt0r> no one can help my issue with Audio?
[04:51] <ryanprior> !audio | c0rrupt0r
[04:51] <laughalots> wolter I organized it--do the numbers of spaces and the like matter?
[04:51] <jokkah> c0rrupt0r: whats your issue'?
[04:51] <zelakt> ryanprior: yeah, just force of habit. on your recommendation i'm tweaking it a bit and it's not bad
[04:52] <ramirand> c0rrupt0r: Wish I could, man, never tried USB audio.
[04:52] <jokkah> c0rrupt0r: ?
[04:52] <tuxedocurly> nanotube: hmm.. well now that all i have left is "unallocated" it wont let me select partition--->format to--->fat32 why is that?
[04:52] <tuxedocurly> nanotube: and what should i do?
[04:52] <wolter> laughalots, no
[04:52] <nellmathew> meaning, the default wireless connections thing that comes up (which doesn't work).. do i need to uninstall that somehow?.. i'm guessing after blacklisting it'll just stop loading altogether right?
[04:52] <Light-> tuxedocurly, gotta create a partition on the unallocated space, THEN format to fat32
[04:52] <tonyyarusso> tuxedocurly: you have to create a partition first, then format the partition
[04:52] <ryanprior> zelakt: If you can change your habits somewhat, ctrl+n opens a new buffer, and ctrl+w closes a buffer.
[04:52] <Droopsta915> What ubuntu program will burn avi to dvd?
[04:52] <ryanprior> zelakt: Those actions occur instantaneously.
[04:52] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: first, /create/ a partition in the unallocated space
[04:53] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: /then/ format that partition
[04:53] <wolter> laughalots, to be honest, my fsab has some strange numbers called UIDS instead of the "/dev/sda1" stuff, but i think it doesn't matter..
[04:53] <JRKR> hey
[04:53] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: you can't skip the step of creating partition :)
[04:53] <c0rrupt0r> ubottu ok i will try that thank you
[04:53] <Vozzy311> http://pastebin.com/d43a0dd79
[04:53] <JRKR> q
[04:53] <Hurley_> hello
[04:53] <Vozzy311> that's the readme on the file i need to install
[04:53] <Vozzy311> idk howto
[04:53] <Light-> wolter, its a "security" feature I think, so someone cant look at your /etc/fstab and figure out what drives to steal
[04:53] <jokkah> GNAA IS FUN
[04:53] <Droopsta915> ubottu!
[04:53] <jokkah> lol
[04:53] <FloodBot1> jokkah: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:54] <Light-> jokkah, I agree
[04:54] <tuxedocurly> nanotube: sorry.. i've never dealt with this partition stuff before.. ha ha, yes.. im ignorant to much of this. alright.. select primary or extended partition?
[04:54] <Light-> tuxedocurly, if its the first partition on the disk, primary
[04:54] <spritle> is there any reason the vbox steals the audio while its open?
[04:54] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: we all started from there at some point. :)
[04:54] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: primary
[04:54] <tritium> jokkah: warning
[04:54] <MaxPower9> #grc
[04:54] <spritle> any way to make it so ubuntu and vbox can use sound simultaneously?
[04:54] <tonyyarusso> Light-: No, it's so that the same drive always mounts the same way.  It's possible for the /dev/sda1 variety to get switched around, whereas UUID is a unique identifier.
[04:54] <Hurley_> i have a nforce chipset 750a. I installed a mirrored drive (raid 1) and i installed ubuntu 8.10. I see on the installation dialog two hard drive. Why can i see two hard drive on RAID 1 mirrored?
[04:54] <Droopsta915> WHat application can I use  to burn .avi movies into dvd?
[04:54] <jokkah> tritium: i just noticed the flood
[04:55] <Light-> tonyyarusso, ahh thankyou for that, I always wondered about it
[04:55] <tritium> jokkah: please don't repeat it
[04:55] <jokkah> tritium: sure, i dont do that kind of things..
[04:55] <tritium> jokkah: thanks
[04:55] <linduxed> im having a problem with java that ive only encountered on ubuntu, so far other linuxes, mac and even windows have not had this:
[04:55] <linduxed> this java based app called bluej has its menus dissapearing (all... rigthclick, top-bar...) as if all menus had OnReleaseMouse = close.
[04:55] <linduxed> also the window is odd, cant be resized and isnt showing up as an open app in the taskbar...
[04:55] <jokkah> tritium: are you a bot?
[04:55] <marko> restart
[04:55] <tritium> jokkah: no
[04:55] <CyBurnett> I have 3 icons on my desktop that correspond to HDD that has been divided into 3 partitions. How con I rename them rather than have the default name like 158GB Media?
[04:55] <sammichweasel> Anyone?  Running patches for apps?
[04:55] <jokkah> tritium:why do you say i do that kind of things? are you drunk?
[04:56] <shingalated> YES
[04:56] <Flannel> jokkah: Please stay on topic.
[04:56] <tonyyarusso> CyBurnett: set the "label" on the partition with a partition editor.
[04:56] <Light-> sammichweasel, to
[04:56] <tritium> jokkah: stay on topic, please
[04:56] <Light-> sammichweasel, are you patching the source?
[04:56] <wolter> Hi, can somebody explain me/point me to documentation to know how to transfer files from a vista machine to ubuntu machine through a usb cable?
[04:56] <ryanprior> sammichweasel: I'm not sure what you mean. Is it a source patch?
[04:56] <sammichweasel> Light- :: To tell you the truth, I have no clue.  I just got up and running
[04:56] <CyBurnett> tonyyarusso, Like Gparted?
[04:57] <tonyyarusso> CyBurnett: yeah
[04:57] <sammichweasel> I've never used Linux before.
[04:57] <Light-> sammichweasel, what are you being asked to patch?
[04:57] <CyBurnett> Thank you :)
[04:57] <sammichweasel> Light- :: I'm trying to patch up Wine ^.^
[04:57] <CyBurnett> tonyyarusso, Thank you :)
[04:57] <tonyyarusso> wolter: I don't know, but I can tell you that it would probably be way easier over a network cable than USB.
[04:57] <Light-> !wine | sammichweasel
[04:57] <Flannel> sammichweasel: patch it for what?
[04:57] <JRKR> what
[04:57] <Light-> sammichweasel, the wine binary should work with no patches
[04:57] <ryanprior> sammichweasel: Don't bother patching Wine. It's updated with the latest source code every 2 weeks or so. :-)
[04:57] <lucax> i got some parts of nautilus in english and i want them to be in spanish... dont know whats wrong... ive installed support-es gnome-es bla bla bla but no changes, plus dont have any other language installed... any ideas?
[04:58] <wolter> tonyyarusso, well, i've been told usb is faster
[04:58] <sammichweasel> Light-, ryanprior :: Then I guess I have a different problem - DirectX and .Net Frameworks don't appear to work, leaving multiple programs without the means to run
[04:58] <tonyyarusso> wolter: USB 2.0 is faster than 100Mbit, but slower than gigabit.  But, I've at least heard of ways to do it with ethernet.  :P
[04:59] <Light-> sammichweasel, theyre not supposed to, thats Microsoft crap that only runs on windows
[04:59] <ryanprior> sammichweasel: Don't try to install Microsoft's DirectX -- Wine has its own implementation.
[04:59] <ryanprior> As far as .Net, I think efforts to get that working fully are ongoing, and any patches you find will only solve the problems partially.
[04:59] <Light-> sammichweasel, WINE has its own implementation of DirectX, and you can use Mono to run .NET apps
[04:59] <wolter> tonyyarusso, yeah well, I tried to do it with ethernet but i wouldn't get more than 2mb/s
[04:59] <sammichweasel> ryanprior :: Then, if something that works with DirectX isn't functioning in Wine, should I go find a Wine channel or something?
[04:59] <Jack_Sparrow> sammichweasel correct
[04:59] <marissa> can someone give me a hand please? i just installed ubuntu and im trying to get skype to work. it seems to be able to pick up my mic when i plug in an external mic but when i pull it out it doesnt seem to pick up the mic thats built into my laptop
[05:00] <tonyyarusso> wolter: old card?
[05:00] <ryanprior> sammichweasel: Wine has a great resource called the AppDB (you can google it) that tells you what programs work well and what ones don't.
[05:00] <ramirand> wolter: I think USB 2.0 is something like 480Mb/s, so gigabit ethernet is faster, and 100Mb/s ethernet isn't THAT much slower - how much data are you moving?
[05:00] <Jack_Sparrow> !appdb > sammichweasel
[05:00] <ryanprior> sammichweasel: So, they may already know that the app you're trying to run isn't well supported yet. If you're familiar with bug trackers, they can use your help in reporting bugs.
[05:00] <sammichweasel> ryanprior :: Thanks for the info
[05:01] <L_Y> how can i change the splash ?
[05:01] <laughalots> wolter worked like a charm
[05:01] <Light-> sammichweasel, you also cant expect to run windows applications on Linux properly. Look for a linux alternative
[05:01] <sammichweasel> Jack_Sparrow :: Thanks for the heads up
[05:01] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[05:01] <laughalots> wolter thanks SOOOOO much for the help
[05:01] <tonyyarusso> !splash| L_Y
[05:01] <c0rrupt0r> would it be causing a problem with audio if everything is saying pulseaudio at the end of it in sound settings..and im not using pulseaudio?
[05:01] <ramirand> wolter: I just moved 160GB pretty quick over 100Mb/s ethernet, didn't take that long.
[05:01] <ryanprior> sammichweasel: However, you should realize that Wine is still very incomplete software and that in many cases you're better off looking for a Linux equivalent of Windows software rather than using Wine.
[05:01] <sammichweasel> Light- :: Oh, I know, just trying to get my games workin' right ^.^
[05:01] <L_Y> !splash
[05:02] <Sussa_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/113477/ :)
[05:02] <Jack_Sparrow> sammichweasel dual boot.. dont think wine or those will get you the performance you will expect
[05:02] <marissa> can someone give me a hand please? i just installed ubuntu and im trying to get skype to work. it seems to be able to pick up my mic when i plug in an external mic but when i pull it out it doesnt seem to pick up the mic thats built into my laptop
[05:02] <sammichweasel> Jack_Sparrow :: Le sigh.  Guess that means I need to actually throw the other HDD in here.
[05:02] <sammichweasel> Alright, thanks everyone!  Guess that'll do for tonight
[05:02] <Light-> Sussa_, do you have build-essential installed?
[05:03] <CyBurnett> I tried to rename my partitions with gparted but I cant find an option to rename
[05:03] <tuxedocurly> nanotube: how long should this take with a slow 1.8 GHZ processor? ha ha
[05:03] <Light-> Sussa_, those missing .h files are standard C headers
[05:03] <ryanprior> How do I disable 3-button mouse emulation (where right click + left click = middle click)?
[05:04] <Jack_Sparrow> CyBurnett I am busy .. but you would to manually LABEL them, or setup mount points in fstab
[05:04] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: could take a while... depends on the filesystem type you are putting on it...
[05:04] <nanotube> CyBurnett: what is the filesystem type of your partitions?
[05:04] <wolter> ramirand, linux-to-linux? vista gave me only 2mb/s ...
[05:04] <tuxedocurly> nanotube: putting it to a fat32 format is that what you mean?
[05:04] <Sussa_> Light-: hum, I don't :(
[05:04] <CyBurnett> nanotube, Fat
[05:05] <ramirand> wolter: Ah, yeah, linux to linux.
[05:05] <nanotube> tuxedocurly: right. that's what i mean.
[05:05] <robson> is there an opera package? i did apt-get install opera to no avail
[05:05] <Jack_Sparrow> nanotube 3 primary ntfs ext3, ext3, huge extended with a few ext3 and swap
[05:05] <Sussa_> Light-: I'll install it, just a minute :)
[05:05] <ramirand> wolter: All my Vista to Ubuntu experience is via wifi, so not really a good comparison.
[05:05] <Light-> Sussa_, ok :)
[05:05] <tuxedocurly> okay, well hey, thanks for your help!!!!
[05:05] <nanotube> CyBurnett: you need mtools, then. see here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive
[05:06] <CyBurnett> nanotube, they are not usb drives though does that matter?
[05:06] <Sylphid> ryanprior, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1013430
[05:07] <nanotube> Jack_Sparrow: well, ext3 can be labeled with e2label, ntfs with ntfslabel
[05:07] <Cotowar> hi
[05:07] <sauvin> My girlfriend is trying to install mythbuntu by first booting into the livecd. She gets STUCK with this message: (initramfs) [ 98.378061] end_request: I/o error, dev sr0, sector 1311872. What is 'sr0'?
[05:07] <CyBurnett> Cotowar, Hi :)
[05:07] <nanotube> CyBurnett: you can label any partitions... don't have to be on usb.
[05:07] <Cotowar> um, whats the command to rename files using mp3rename?
[05:07] <ramirand> sauvin: In my experience, that's a problem reading the livecd.
[05:08] <Cotowar> its the one that comes after mp3rename -s '&t'
[05:08] <the_dark_warrio> does glxinfo comes by default on ubuntu?
[05:08] <the_dark_warrio> my friend is trying to run it, but the command is not found
[05:08] <CyBurnett> nanotube, ok thaks, i'll go to the site you mention
[05:08] <nanotube> CyBurnett: ok good luck :)
[05:08] <Sylphid> ryanprior, i would try adding  Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false" to you xorg.conf 1st though
[05:08] <tritium> the_dark_warrio: it's in mesa-utils
[05:09] <CyBurnett> nanotube, "I'll be Baaack!!"
[05:09] <nanotube> CyBurnett: :)
[05:09] <skate2> what's the best way to see all the services that are currently running ?
[05:09] <sauvin> ramirand, you may be right.
[05:09] <bmh> Anyone tell me how can I solve my bug. The problem here is I could not empty the trash folder in evolution
[05:09] <the_dark_warrio> tritium: thanks
[05:09] <SmileDay> Hello
[05:09] <nanotube> skate2: "ps ax" shows all processes
[05:09] <SmileDay> :-(
[05:10] <ramirand> sauvin: If you search on google a bit, you'll find a lot of people who hit that have luck burning the CD again, or they need other options to the boot so IO with the CD/DVD drive works better.
[05:10] <nanotube> skate2: though they are not all necessarily "services"... but linux doesn't really distinguish between a "service" and a regular process.
[05:10] <skate2> nanotube but that shows all process, including non services
[05:10] <skate2> nanotube i think i found it "service --status-all"
[05:10] <the_dark_warrio> tritium: he have mesa-utils, but no glxinfo..
[05:10] <sauvin> ramirand, she burned the ISO with brasero under ubuntu 8.10 64-bit. I've had crappy luck with debian lenny's brasero :\
[05:11] <tritium> the_dark_warrio: that doesn't make sense.  That's where it is.
[05:11] <riegersn> my add/remove programs app is empty!? but synaptic is working fine, so is good old apt-get, did I screw something up ?
[05:12] <ramirand> sauvin I'd try burning it again, maybe at a lower speed, or from another system. If that doesn't work, you'll probably have to search for problems with that particular motherboard and/or drive.
[05:12] <linlin> what can be used to fill a raid array with random data for stress testing?
[05:12] <linlin> what can be used to fill a raid array with random data quickly for stress testing?
[05:12] <sauvin> ramirand, the mobo/drive were OK, but we've had go-arounds with this system burning media before :\
[05:13] <nanotube> skate2: ah cool... didn't know about the "service" command. hell, it's not even documented in the man pages...
[05:13] <node357> I can't mute my microphone, and when I turn on mic boost I get high pitched squeeling feedback
[05:13] <c0rrupt0r> my audio settings show all accessible audio hardware but it will not work with no audio other then my tower speaker..even if i change other settings it still only will alow my tower speaker to work any suggestions please?
[05:13] <skate2> nanotube well there seems to be a manpage for it if you type 'whereis service' however it doesnt load for some stupid reason
[05:13] <ramirand> linlin: First thing that comes to mind is using dd, from /dev/random to the raid block device.
[05:13] <the_dark_warrio> tritium: its seems he should run glxgears before... but that doesn't make sense either
[05:13] <ramirand> linlin: don't know if that's optimal, though. Just a guess.
[05:14] <skate2> nanotube try: man /usr/share/man/man1/service.8.gz
[05:14] <linlin> ramirand: how would i go about un-doing that afterwords
[05:14] <ramirand> linlin: That's also going to be sequential... that's not "realistic" really.
[05:15] <ramirand> linlin: Well, that'd obviously trash anything on the array... so you'd just build a new filesystem on it when you're done.
[05:15] <linxuz3r> hey
[05:15] <nanotube> skate2: hm, yea, that works... i guess the manpage index is messed up...
[05:15] <lyrae> when using vsftpd, where is the default dir?
[05:15] <bmh> can anyone tell me how can i fix the problem to clean the trash folder in evolution?
[05:15] <linlin> ramirand: id like to try to create a random "file" on the array, that can simply be deleted when done
[05:15] <node357> I cannot mute my microphone
[05:16] <ramirand> Well, dd can write to files, too.
[05:16] <ramirand> linlin: Sorry, that last was to you.
[05:16] <linlin> something like cat /dev/random > garbage.file ? or would dd be better
[05:16] <ramirand> linlin: I'm pretty sure dd would be better.
[05:17] <ramirand> linlin: something like dd if=/dev/random of=garbage.file
[05:17] <amazin> and urandom
[05:17] <ramirand> linlin: amazin's right, I think random will block waiting for more "entropy"
[05:17] <riegersn> all apps are missing from add/remove app, can anyone help me out ?
[05:17] <ramirand> linlin: urandom doesn't block.
[05:18] <c0rrupt0r> my audio settings show all accessible audio hardware but it will not work with no audio other then my tower speaker..even if i change other settings it still only will alow my tower speaker to work any suggestions please?
[05:18] <linlin> ramirand: sorry what do you mean by doesnt block
[05:18] <Guest75893> hello.  I am using a Huawei E160G modem to connect to 3 australia.  It is much slower on xubuntu than on windows on the same computer.  any ideas??  I have tried google and got nothing.
[05:19] <ramirand> linlin: If you want it to be "fast", then you don't want the source device (/dev/random) to stop sending data while it calculates better random values. You want to take from /dev/urandom instead - it will give "good" random values right away instead of trying to come up with "better" random values.
[05:19] <linxuz3r> Guest75893: is that a 3g modem?
[05:19] <Guest75893> yes
[05:19] <robson> is there a package for the opera browser?
[05:20] <linxuz3r> does the 3g connect to a satellite or tower?
[05:20] <Guest75893> tower.
[05:20] <linxuz3r> robson: try synaptics
[05:20] <skate2> why would anyone want to use opera in linux :P
[05:20] <Sylphid> skate2, light weight
[05:20] <bmh> hmmm
[05:20] <linlin> ramirand: oh ok great, i just kinda figured that out just now by catting /dev/urandom....much more garbage than /dev/random
[05:20] <robson> linxuz3r: what's that have to do with the opera browser? i'm using the synaptics mouse driver anyway
[05:20] <skate2> we need google chrome
[05:21] <bmh> Did anyone meet the bug with evolution? Could not empty the trash folder
[05:21] <jedi06> is there a way to run memtest from inside ubuntu or do i need to put in a livecd
[05:21] <jedi06> and run it from there/
[05:22] <ph0rensic_> is this chat different than freenode???
[05:22] <supersako> hi
[05:22] <Flannel> ph0rensic_: No, this is freenode.
[05:22] <jedi06> this is freenode
[05:22] <supersako> this is freenode
[05:22] <robson> ph0rensic_: this is
[05:22] <supersako> lol
[05:22] <linxuz3r> robson: usually you use apt-get to search for ubuntu packages
[05:22] <Flannel> linxuz3r, robson: apt-cache search [stuff]
[05:22] <linxuz3r> robson: try sudo apt-cache search opera
[05:22] <jedi06> do i need to restart and boot from livecd to run memtest?
[05:22] <ph0rensic_> so does irc.ubuntu.com forward to freenode.net then?
[05:22] <Sylphid> jedi06, you dont need a live cd however to the best of my knowledge you cannot run memtest on a running system
[05:22] <robson> of course i know that
[05:22] <mikeshollen> Does Ubuntu have a built in firewall?
[05:22] <jedi06> ok thank you
[05:23] <Sylphid> jedi06, there should be a memtest option in grub
[05:23] <Flannel> ph0rensic_: Yes.
[05:23] <robson> first of all, searching "opera" gets way too many results, and if you filter them out, there's no opera browser i can find
[05:23] <c0rrupt0r> mikeshollen yes ubuntu has its own built in firewall
[05:23] <linxuz3r> mikeshollen: there is a software firewall. try firestarter
[05:23] <robson> and apt-cache search just sucks in general, i find it misses packages based on what their name is way too often

[05:24] <robson> so i'm just wondering if anyone knows it exists, cause i googled it and thought it should be "opera", but that fails
[05:24] <linduxed> im having a problem with java that ive only encountered on ubuntu, so far other linuxes, mac and even windows have not had this:
[05:24] <linduxed> this java based app called bluej has its menus dissapearing (all... rigthclick, top-bar...) as if all menus had OnReleaseMouse = close.
[05:24] <linxuz3r> robson: then try synaptic. the front end for apt
[05:24] <linduxed> also the window is odd, cant be resized and isnt showing up as an open app in the taskbar...
[05:24] <mikeshollen> How do I access the firewall?  I believe it's interfering with a game I'd like to run in Wine
[05:24] <Sylphid> robson,  opera is not in intrepids repos
[05:24] <robson> Sylphid: thanks
[05:24] <Droopsta915> What is the uninstall command for ubuntu. I know sudo apt-get ?
[05:25] <L_Y> !splash
[05:25] <ramirand> droopsta915: to uninstall a package? Or to uninstall ubuntu?
[05:25] <neal_> sudo aptitude remove <yourpackage>
[05:25] <Sylphid> robson, it was grandfathered in for previous distros ... but now you have to get it off the opera site... although i believe there is a repo on there site you can add
[05:25] <linxuz3r> Droopsta915: apt-get remove packagename
[05:25] <robson> seems crazy they wouldn't include it. it's a decent browser
[05:25] <Droopsta915> Ahh remove, lol, i was typing uninstall. thanks
[05:26] <ramirand> droopsta915: Sometimes you want to "purge" instead of "remove" a package (I've seen some where the config files that get left behind are a problem)
[05:26] <c0rrupt0r> mikeshollen go to synaptic and do a search for firestarter and install that
[05:26] <linxuz3r> i want to try kde
[05:26] <Sylphid> robson, there was a reason for it...lemme see if i can find it
[05:26] <phorensic> ramirand: does purge remove all config files? For some reason it doesn't with some packages
[05:26] <c0rrupt0r> mikeshollen ubuntu has its own built in firewall thats already installed..firestarter is just the gui so you can see whats going on and change a few settings..its already configured to default settings
[05:27] <nellmathew> hey.. i just followed directions to install ndiswrapper & my driver w/ ndisgtk, the driver is loaded (hardware present), driver installed 	device (14E4:4320) present (alternate driver: ssb) .. but iwconfig doesn't show wlan0..
[05:27] <nellmathew> anyone know what's wrong?
[05:27] <ramirand> phorensic: Well, I think it's supposed to... that doesn't mean all packages work 100%.
[05:27] <linlin> ramirand: would it be faster to run multiple instances of dd to make more garbage? or is it limited to whatever /dev/urandom can crap out anyways?
[05:27] <Guest75893> I am running xubuntu 8.10. Trying to get my 3G modem working faster.  what commands can i use to find out connection speeds and do some problem solving. most info i found is to do with configuring wvdial.
[05:28] <SmileDay> HHHHeeeelllloooo
[05:28] <ramirand> linlin: I'm not 100% sure on that. I doubt it would help to run more than you have cores, at least.
[05:28] <wolter> why does my screen brightness change all by itself?
[05:28] <skate2> is there a reason to use firestarter if your router has a firewall?
[05:28] <L_Y> !grub
[05:28] <Sussa_> hey dudes, I've got an Atheros AR2413, but the connection is too slow. I've just compiled madwifi, do I need to do anything else for it to work better? :P
[05:28] <wolter> it always gets to like 90% of brightness, and I always change it to 100%...
[05:29] <c0rrupt0r> my audio settings show all accessible audio hardware but it will not work with no audio other then my tower speaker..even if i change other settings it still only will alow my tower speaker to work any suggestions please?
[05:29] <supersako> test
[05:29] <linlin> ramirand: yeah it appears no, im running 10 instances it doesnt seem to be filling any faster
[05:29] <gladio70> #ubuntu-it
[05:30] <ramirand> linlin: You might check out the package called "stress" - I haven't tried it for disk stress, but the description says it can do it.
[05:30] <ramirand> linlin: I've only used it for CPU and I/O stress.

[05:30] <Droopsta915> Why is it that when I am in the terminal, I cd Desktop. Then I type ls and I see a file that is not on the desktop? At least not that I can see.
[05:31] <supersako> hi
[05:31] <phorensic> Droopsta915: is it hidden? Not all files will show up on normal ls.. try ls -al
[05:32] <phorensic> Droopsta915: or ls -l, ls -a
[05:32] <marissa> can someone give me a hand please? i just installed ubuntu and im trying to get skype to work. it seems to be able to pick up my mic when i plug in an external mic but when i pull it out it doesnt seem to pick up the mic thats built into my laptop
[05:32] <Droopsta915> Yeah it has a .  ..  Filename
[05:33] <Droopsta915> How can I get it to unhide?

[05:33] <arvind_khadri> hi, does binaries and executables mean the same?
[05:33] <phorensic> yes
[05:33] <linxuz3r> in linux and windows
[05:34] <skate2> it tends to mean the same thing, but technically a jpeg is a binary file, but not necessarly executable
[05:34] <linxuz3r> true
[05:34] <arvind_khadri> skate2: i got it :)
[05:35] <MSymptom> ush, what specifically is it about ubuntu that is like windows?
[05:35] <nellmathew> i blacklisted b43, bcm43xx, ssb, ect.. and added ndiswrapper to modules, and used ndisgtk to install the inf driver, now.. how come iwconfig doesn't have "wlan0" ?..
[05:36] <Tom_Far> i'm sorry, but I wonna have knows about "Why ubuntu community is not suppored mc?"
[05:36] <amt2> my sound was working great but after some point it just started working and now I can't hear anything. I didn't change any settings directly. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
[05:36] <amt2> started->stopped
[05:36] <Tom_Far> why???
[05:37] <mikeshollen> Does Linux run any other security software besides the firewall?
[05:37] <mikeshollen> Specifically Ubuntu
[05:38] <Sylphid> mikeshollen, apparmor
[05:38] <sauvin> bastille, selinux, there are tons of others.
[05:39] <nellmathew> hey guys : in cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules - wlan0 is being used by "b43-pci-bridge", that's why it's not showing up with ndiswrapper, what should i do?
[05:39] <nellmathew> # PCI device 0x14e4:0x4320 (b43-pci-bridge)
[05:39] <nellmathew> SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:90:4b:5a:e4:d5", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="wlan0"
[05:39] <Sylphid> sauvin, however those are not on a default ubuntu install
[05:40] <wolter> do people need an ebook manager?
[05:40] <Sylphid> nellmathew, your using ndiswrapper for a broadcom wireless card correct?
[05:40] <nellmathew> yes
[05:40] <nellmathew> Sylphid, nothing else seems to work.. so i'm trying ndiswrapper in intrepid
[05:41] <Sylphid> nellmathew, add 'blacklist b43' to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[05:42] <Sylphid> nellmathew, you will need to reboot afterwards
[05:42] <rkvirani> gnome-do rocks :D
[05:42] <nellmathew> Sylphid, i already blacklisted bxm43xx, b43, b43legacy, ssb & added ndiswrapper to modules though..
[05:42] <rkvirani> thought admittedly 512MB is not enough for compiz
[05:43] <Sylphid> nellmathew, what driver does  sudo lshw -C network  show that your wireless interface is using
[05:43] <allan_> Hello
[05:44]  * usser you kids and your fancy guis :)
[05:44] <allan_> say is there a control , alt ,del for ubuntu like windows
[05:44] <nellmathew> Sylphid, my problem is iwconfig doesn't show "wlan0".. i read on the forums to check if it's being used by anything else by doing "Check the contents of the /etc/iftab file and make sure that no other device has the wlan0 driver name reserved for it: cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules" .. it is being used by something else.. no further info though
[05:44] <lyrae> when using vsftpd, where is the default dir?
[05:44] <On0bi_> my movie player flashes a black checkerboard mesh throughout movies all the time, how do i fix that?
[05:44] <allan_> hello
[05:45] <mikeshollen> Does anyone have any experience with Mac-on-Linux?
[05:45] <nellmathew> Sylphid: driver=b43-pci-bridge latency=64 module=ssb
[05:45] <jigp> hello guys how to install mass message to my group?im using pidgin 2.5.0
[05:45] <Sylphid> nellmathew, and your sure that b43 is blacklisted?
[05:45] <Sussa_> hey dudes, I've got an Atheros AR2413, but the connection is too slow. I've just compiled madwifi, do I need to do anything else for it to work better? I'm using 8.04.2 :)
[05:45] <allan_> hello
[05:46] <nite_johnboy> Hi - Currently using a Nvidia PCI Express 7300DF Geforce - Using Nvidia restricted drivers - Going to remove this card and install a ATI EAH 3450 HDMI PCI Express - Do I need to uninstall the Nvidia drivers before installing the new ATI card ? ?
[05:46] <nellmathew> Sylphid, it's definitely on the list.. let me try another reboot then, should i try to blacklist b43-pci-bridge too maybe?
[05:46] <Sylphid> nellmathew, you should not need to
[05:46] <Sylphid> nellmathew, try this first
[05:46] <allan_> do anyone know, is there a control alt delete for ubuntu like if you stuck in a program
[05:46] <mikeshollen> yes allan
[05:46] <nanotube> lyrae: in vsftpd.conf, the option local_root is set to the root dir.
[05:47] <Sylphid> nellmathew, sudo modprobe -r b43 && sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[05:47] <nanotube> lyrae: and that's also where you can change it to anythin gyou want.
[05:47] <mikeshollen> Use the system monitor
[05:47] <phorensic> allan_: you can kill the pid
[05:47] <allan_> i used that :P
[05:47] <mikeshollen> You can kill processes directly through system monitor
[05:47] <d33d> what do i do if i've lost my IRC password?
[05:47] <allan_> but is there are short cut to system monitor
[05:47] <lyrae> nanotube: doesnt seem to work
[05:47] <mikeshollen> I don't know, maybe someone else does
[05:47] <lyrae> local_root=/home/lyrae/ftp/
[05:48] <jrjr> kill a process?
[05:48] <homecable> i need some to test my site it isnt loading on my end http://joey.ath.cx
[05:48] <allan_> yep yep i know how to do that ,,i just thourt there was a shourt cut thats all
[05:48] <nanotube> lyrae: you need to restart vsftpd for changes to take effect.
[05:48] <d33d> what do i do if i've lost my IRC password?
[05:48] <lyrae> nanotube:  id id
[05:48] <mikeshollen> kill, terminate, cause the act of ceasing to exist in memory
[05:49] <nite_johnboy> Going to replace my Nvidia card with ATI card - Do I need to uninstall Nvidia drivers 1st ? ?
[05:49] <nanotube> allan_: you can set a shortcut yourself if you go to system-> preferences -> kb shortcuts :)
[05:49] <arvind_khadri> d33d: talk to the staff at #freenode
[05:49] <rkvirani> I have 512MB RAM  but Im pretty sure I have a 54K RPM drive will another gig help any with a drive that slow?
[05:49] <nanotube> lyrae: so what does it do, then?
[05:50] <ramirand> nite_johnboy: I think the answer is no.
[05:50] <phorensic> Anyone using solid state drive with their ubuntu?? speed difference??
[05:50] <rkvirani> phorensic: yeah its SUCKS
[05:50] <nellmathew> Sylphid, done.. iwconfig still doesn't show wlan0, let me try rebooting.. brb 2 min, thanks for you help btw!
[05:50] <rkvirani> solid state has VERY VERY slow writes
[05:50] <phorensic> rkvirani: no way? how come
[05:50] <rkvirani> phorensic: I dunno
[05:50] <rkvirani> Acer Aspire One 8GB SSD
[05:50] <rkvirani> and its dog ass slow
[05:50] <lyrae> nanotube: nothing...i go ftp://localhost and the file i put in home/lyrae/ftp/ insnt there
[05:50] <Until_It_Sleeps> What is Ubuntu's command for the equivalent of Window's "ipconfig /all"?
[05:50] <lyrae> nanotube: the directory listing is empty..i should see a file
[05:50] <nite_johnboy> ramirand; thanks - will just shutdown and swap out cards ....
[05:51] <Sylphid> Until_It_Sleeps, ifconfig
[05:51] <rkvirani> Until_It_Sleeps: ifconfig
[05:51] <ramirand> nite_johnboy: A friend of mine did something similar recently (Nvidia 9600 => some ATI card)
[05:51] <Light-> Until_It_Sleeps, ifconfig
[05:51] <phorensic> Until_It_Sleeps: ifconfig
[05:51] <nanotube> lyrae: did you put the initial '/' for the dir conf?
[05:51] <Until_It_Sleeps> lol, so helpful. Thanks
[05:51] <phorensic> rkvirani: hmm thats an acer though.. what about one of those 32gig flash drives??
[05:51] <ramirand> nite_johnboy: Obviously, on the next boot, the nvidia x server didn't start, but it brought up the regular server, and he was able to config the ATI correctly from there.
[05:52] <nanotube> lyrae: (it's not home/lyrae..., its /home/lyrae
[05:52] <rkvirani> phorensic: hahaha like the ones that are hundreds of dollars
[05:52] <lyrae> nanotube: yep: local_root=/home/lyrae/ftp/
[05:52] <baz_> it is said that the passwords stored in *revelation password manager*, can be retrieved remotely thru gnome-fs (which i think was replaced) - anyone know how i would go about doing this?
[05:52] <rkvirani> If my acer sucks so bad what makes you think I Want to buy a more expensive one hahaha
[05:52] <phorensic> rkvirani: oh speaking of the AAO- did you get your wireless working natively?
[05:53] <tyso1> hey
[05:53] <lyrae> nanotube: when i type 'ls' in ftp, i get /
[05:53] <phorensic> rkvirani: no i like the AAO's foo! I got my friend to buy one so i could play with it
[05:54] <phorensic> rkvirani: I thought they were around $80 or so now
[05:54] <waffles> Hey, how can I find out what partition is what on an HD? I'm trying to figure out what mount something is in HD(0,x) format.
[05:54] <nite_johnboy> ramirand; cool - the newer ATI has DVI/VGA/HDMI Out - going to use with the HDMI with my wide screen High Def TV - Will probably turn off onboard sound in bio's - HDMI is supposed to carry sound so maybe should not need the 1/8" out for audio....
[05:54] <lyrae> nanotube: not 'ls', i mean pwd
[05:54] <phorensic> waffles: hmm sudo fdisk -l?
[05:54] <EternalEnding> was wondering if anyone could help me with a hardware compatibility question, im kinda thinking my hardware wont run ubuntu :(
[05:55] <waffles> phorensic, gives sda1, sda2, sdax
[05:55] <arvind_khadri> waffles: sdax??
[05:55] <nanotube> lyrae: well yes, it sets the ftp root "/" to whatever you set local_root to. (well, supposedly. apparently it doesn't work for you...)
[05:55] <waffles> phorensic, I know my boot is HD(0,0) and that gives it as SDA1
[05:55] <Until_It_Sleeps> Anyone know which ports I should forward for Transmission bittorrent client so that it runs faster?
[05:55] <Until_It_Sleeps> pm me with it plz
[05:56] <waffles> arvind_khadri, I mean sda1, sda2, ect.... x as in up to 8 for me atleast
[05:56] <nite_johnboy> EternalEnding; Have you tried using the Live CD ?
[05:56] <EternalEnding> yes :( it wont get past the cd check on 8.0
[05:56] <ramirand> nite_johnboy: Does that card have a digital audio input to put on the HDMI?
[05:56] <arvind_khadri> waffles: oh ok... so what are you trying to achieve now?
[05:56] <phorensic> waffles: hmm i dunno then
[05:56] <EternalEnding> i think its partly my blu-ray drive
[05:56] <Until_It_Sleeps> O_o
[05:56] <lyrae> nanotube: any other ftp daemons i could try?
[05:57] <waffles> arvind_khadri,  the end goal is dealing with Grub, but right now trying to find out what HD(0,1) is, what HD(0,2) is, ect. I have some logical partitions inside an extended partition.
[05:57] <nite_johnboy> ramirand; ah - no - ummm might have something there - the sounds has to get there somehow - didn't quite think this through all the way yet.
[05:58] <arvind_khadri> waffles: sda2 would be hd(0,2)
[05:58] <arvind_khadri> waffles: sorry i mean hd(0,1)
[05:58] <Flannel> arvind_khadri, waffles: hd0,1
[05:59] <ramirand> nite_johnboy: I know some cards have that. I haven't tried. My Nvidia doesn't have HDMI out, and I've never tried using the digital audio output yet.
[05:59] <ramirand> nite_johnboy: (on my motherboard)
[05:59] <waffles> arvind_khadri, Flannel, so just subtract 1 from the sdaX to get HD(0,x)? Alright then.
[05:59] <arvind_khadri> waffles: ya
[05:59] <Flannel> waffles: and a == 1, b == 2, etc, subtract one from that too.
[06:00] <waffles> arvind_khadri, Flannel, Thanks for the help.
[06:00] <EternalEnding> so supposing I can beat the CD check by using an external drive, what is the compatibility with the i7 processor looking like?
[06:00] <nite_johnboy> ramirand; yea - just opened the box an looked at it - No audio in - so will be using standard motherboard 5.1 audio - looks like huh?
[06:01] <nanotube> lyrae: hmm... well thereis proftpd
[06:02] <nanotube> lyrae: there's the regular "ftpd"
[06:02] <dixonionthedemon> i back
[06:02] <NoSoundHelp> Hey my sound just stopped working...i didnt change anything
[06:02] <lyrae> nanotube: thank you
[06:02] <nanotube> but really i don't know why vsftpd isn't working... maybe you can ask on #vsftpd if that channel exists, or if not, just regular #ftp.
[06:03] <nanotube> lyrae: just check what channels relating to ftp are out there, you might find some helpful folks :)
[06:03] <dixon208> anyone know how to get a quickcam messenger from logitech to work?
[06:03] <waffles> I installed Vista, Xp, then Ubuntu, but used the alternate install. I had a 100 meg boot partition in Fat16, but then when I installed Ubuntu I thought it was empty and formated over to Ext3. It's now my boot partition. Is there any way to add Windows to Grub without "repairing" Windows then reinstalling Grub? I tried booting from HDA(0,6) and HDA(0,7) where they are and get MBR not found. From what I've read, I need a boot folder/file and neither
[06:03] <waffles> partition have them.

[06:21] <wolter> BANSHEE
[06:21] <wakest> was just gonna suggest banshee,
[06:21] <flashkidd> harley: I think banshee is a good one
[06:21] <arvind_khadri> dixon208: you might need to have gpsca ... i guess i got that order right
[06:21] <dixon208> pm me plz
[06:22] <harley> foobar looks pretty good
[06:22] <harley> banshee looks a little plain
[06:22] <arvind_khadri> !cam > dixon208
[06:22] <wolter> harley, banshee is perfect for you, if you used itunes and love simplicity
[06:22] <whatev> will windows explorer give me problems if i have a samba server on a linux laptop that's not always connected to my network?
[06:23] <harley> wolter: I never used itunes :P
[06:23] <harley> wolter: I have, but I don't like it.
[06:23] <YooPhGluP> anyone use tv cards in ubuntu???????
[06:23] <DigitalSith> how do I change the run levels in ubuntu so I boot directly to a console instead of gdm
[06:23] <phorensic> whatev: i think it will cause a delay n certain instances when it tries to searc the network.. are you having it mounted as a network drive?
[06:24] <flashkidd> harley: banshee uses few resources to run
[06:24] <whatev> phorensic yeah
[06:24] <dixon208> spca5xx  is the driver
[06:24] <dixon208> how do i get it?
[06:24] <dixon208> using the terminal?
[06:24] <phorensic> whatev: yes i think it will hang when the drive cannot find the volume
[06:25] <phorensic> whatev: its been a while since ive done it but i think i had that problem
[06:25] <DigitalSith> how do I change the run levels in ubuntu so I boot directly to a console instead of gdm
[06:25] <phorensic> dixon208: you can locate the file and use wget http://whatever.come/file
[06:26] <YooPhGluP> i was thinking about switching to ubuntu from vista but i can't get my pvr-150mce to work so now i am not sure if its worth it
[06:26] <robson> i can't get alsa to work for snd-hda-intel. i tried modprobe snd-hda-intel after compiling alsa for that module and it failed
[06:26] <wow> is there any way to copy a screeshot to the clipboard instead of opening that "save screenshot" window?
[06:26] <kinja-sheep> YooPhGluP: Buy a supported PVR.
[06:26] <phorensic> YooPhGluP: did you check in the myth channels?
[06:27] <Ga_Boi> ok. I got a kingston 8 gig sdhc micro card and when i used it with my adapter it worked the first time. HOwever, after copying a directory straight to the card it no longer is no longer read by any of my devices except my phone however, my phone can't format it or do anything with it.. and when i connect my phone to my comp via bluetooth it still doesn't register. any ideas?
[06:27] <dixon208> --2009-02-04 00:27:07--  http://whatever.come/file

[06:27] <dixon208> wget: unable to resolve host address `spca5xx'
[06:27] <arvind_khadri> dixon208: google for the driver
[06:27] <usser> wow, prt scr
[06:28] <phorensic> dixon208: you have to input the name of that file.. u gotta find it first
[06:28] <wow> that doesn't copy it to the clipboard
[06:28] <robson> is there an easier sound alternative than alsa? i went thru everything and for whatever reason it still won't work
[06:28] <usser> wow, sure does
[06:28] <YooPhGluP> yeah myth just shows a blank screen
[06:29] <nadim_> DigitalSith: runlevel --set will set your runlevel, however I think runlevels 2-5, by default, are all configured the same
[06:29] <wow> usser: not for me.  it opens a window giving me the option of where to save it
[06:29] <usser> wow, oh really...
[06:29] <phorensic> YooPhGluP: What i mean is did you ask for help in myths channels. They work with pvrs all the time and would know better if yours is supported or not
[06:29] <PuTrA_caem> adi_085745961777
[06:29] <kinja-sheep> dixon208: I'm giving you an example -- "cd ~/Desktop && wget -c http://tinyurl.com/dixon208"
[06:29] <nadim_> DigitalSith: look up chkconfig for how to easily configure your runlevels to, say, disable gdm in one of them
[06:30] <YooPhGluP> ok i'll ask them
[06:30] <phorensic> YooPhGluP: myth tends to support only cartain hauppage cards
[06:31] <whatev> what's the mouse service called in ubuntu? it used to be called gdm but now that stands for gnome display manager :/
[06:31] <Neros> hey guys.... can someone tell me how to setup gmail in evolution.. the guide in the wiki dosent work cause gmail uses non standard ports
[06:31] <tuxedocurly> hey what is that disk unpartitioner program called again?
[06:31] <tuxedocurly> ha ha
[06:31] <DigitalSith> thank you
[06:31] <IntuitiveNipple> Mythtv supports PVR-150 well (see http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_PVR-150)
[06:31] <robson> i compiled alsa for my sound card but i still can't load the module. any clue why?
[06:31] <SmileDay> HEllo
[06:31] <IntuitiveNipple> Neros: I use IMAP4 to access it
[06:31] <freq18hz> igparted
[06:31] <freq18hz> err
[06:31] <freq18hz> Gparted
[06:32] <tuxedocurly> thanks mate
[06:32] <Neros> IntuitiveNipple: Thats well and good but I need pop access
[06:32] <freq18hz> np, sry crap netbook keys =)
[06:32] <phorensic> Neros: I think google has a howto within your email.. use that
[06:32] <tuxedocurly> np
[06:32] <kinja-sheep> Neros: Be sure to enable POP3 (if any) in your Gmail setting.
[06:32] <freq18hz> gmail really sucks at pop, if at all possible use imap
[06:32] <kinja-sheep> freq18hz: Agreed.
[06:32] <Neros> Ok... let me refine my question
[06:32] <IntuitiveNipple> Neros: "POP is nice, but IMAP is a much better option" (http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2007/10/gmail-supports-imap.html)
[06:33] <YooPhGluP> yeah everywhere i look it says it should work but i can't get it to do anything i can record a test.mpg by typing a command but can't use any tv viewers
[06:33] <Neros> How do I set non standard ports in Evolution?
[06:33] <nickrud> whatev, gpm (for console mice)
[06:33] <harley> why do my media players do this!?
[06:33] <harley> I click play and the song sits at 0:00
[06:33] <arieltav> hey all
[06:33] <kc8pxy> whatev: isn't that gpm ??(general purpose mouse)?
[06:33] <whatev> ah
[06:33] <nickrud> Neros, append,for example:  mail.com:587
[06:33] <IntuitiveNipple> YooPhGluP: Best to ask on the mythbuntu or mythtv-user mailing-lists (http://www.mythtv.org/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users/)
[06:34] <arieltav> so, anyone feeling helpfull tonight?
[06:34] <tuxedocurly> what the heck... i used gparted to turn my USB hard drive into fat32 but windows still wont read it
[06:34] <tuxedocurly> Any ideas why?
[06:34] <tuxedocurly> or do you think i just need to try to plug it in again and wait for it to register?
[06:34] <Neros> nickrud: thanks
[06:35] <arieltav> total newb looking for help w/GRUB, anyone?
[06:35] <YooPhGluP> thanks im going to reboot now
[06:35] <nickrud> arieltav, the only people that hang out here are the ones who never help any one ;)
[06:35] <nickrud> !detail | arieltav
[06:35] <freq18hz> tuxedo: just because its formated fat32, doesnt mean it has a dos compatible MBR on it
[06:35] <nickrud> !details | arieltav
[06:36] <freq18hz> try deleting the partition, creating a new fat partion with MBR
[06:36] <freq18hz> and then formatting it
[06:36] <tuxedocurly> MBR?
[06:36] <arieltav> well, i just installed ubuntu 8.1
[06:36] <harley> does anybody know why my songs don't play?
[06:36] <freq18hz> Master Boot Record
[06:36] <amt2> my sound was working great but after some point it just stopped working and now I have no sound. I didn't change any settings directly. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
[06:36] <arieltav> and on first boot after step 1.5 it stops on error 21
[06:36] <tuxedocurly> how do i do that?
[06:36] <nadim_> harley: are you sure they're valid audio formats?
[06:36] <arieltav> i'm dual booting w/xp
[06:36] <harley> oh there mp3
[06:37] <arieltav> ubuntu is on disk 2
[06:37] <arvind_khadri> arieltav: state your problem in a single go, dont use enter as a punctuaction
[06:37] <wow> how can I get it so prnt scrn copies the screenshot to my clipboard instead of prompting me to save it?
[06:37] <nadim_> harley: try, for example, "mplayer -identify <filename.mp3>" on the command line and see what it says
[06:37] <arieltav> sorry, and thanx. should i try again than, or did you get that?
[06:37] <freq18hz> amt2: open your volume control panel and make sure you have your speaker volume, pcm volume, and master volume up
[06:38] <IntuitiveNipple> tuxedocurly: There is an issue where VFAT file-systems created on Linux *are not* understood by Windows. I forget the solution now (the 'easy' way is to format the file-system on Windows)
[06:38] <arvind_khadri> arieltav: i think i got it... you have installed 8.10, and you get grub error 21?
[06:38] <arieltav> yes
[06:38] <spexi> Hi! I was trying to test Ubuntu 8.10 yesterday with live cd on my computer. Everything went well until X was loaded. It was blank screen with text "out of range", but I was still able to hear the sounds. Specs: 2gt ram, ATI HD3850, AMD X2 5800+. Could this be issue with ATI or..?
[06:38] <Bobblybook> hi :) is anyone here prepared to help out a linux newbie with some drivers?
[06:38] <arvind_khadri> arieltav: do you have dual boot?
[06:38] <freq18hz> tuxedocurly: its because you dont have a windows readable parition table
[06:39] <arvind_khadri> arieltav: as in you have windows too installed on your machine?
[06:39] <freq18hz> tuxedocurly: aka Master Book Record
[06:39] <kinja-sheep> spexi: I'm throwing a guess -- Wrong resolution size.
[06:39] <adie> allow semua
[06:39] <IntuitiveNipple> freq18hz: What you said makes no sense! *All* (standard) DOS-format partition tables are readable by Windows!
[06:39] <amt2> freq18hz, I'm so stupid, the volume was actually down lol. Thanks!
[06:39] <harley> nadim: The program 'mplayer' can be found in the following packages:
[06:39] <harley>  * mplayer-nogui
[06:39] <harley>  * mplayer
[06:39] <harley> Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>
[06:39] <harley> bash: mplayer: command not found
[06:39] <FloodBot1> harley: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:39] <lyrae> How can i completely remove a package? --purge isnt working...because when i re-install, it doesnt re-download
[06:39] <kc8pxy> spexi:  seems like a driver issue. particularly with the settings that were autodetected.
[06:39] <spexi> okay.
[06:40] <arvind_khadri> harley: sudo apt-get install mplayer
[06:40] <arieltav> i did after installing with wubi, but after selecting ubuntu it was stopping at grub. so i uninstaled wubi in XP and reinstalled ubuntu from CD. now i can't even run XP. it just stops w/error 21
[06:40] <freq18hz> Intuitive: it makes perfect sense. you can have a non dos partition table,formated fat32
[06:40] <kinja-sheep> lyrae: It didn't redownload because the package (.deb) is still on your system.
[06:40] <nadim_> harley: go ahead and install it then with the command it provides (use mplayer, not mplayer-nogui)
[06:40] <lyrae> kinja-sheep: id like it to be gone
[06:40] <kinja-sheep> lyrae: sudo aptitude autoclean / sudo aptitude clean
[06:40] <arieltav> BTW xp is on primary disk. ubuntu on second disk.
[06:40] <arvind_khadri> arieltav: so you must be on the live cd now... just re-install grub,...
[06:40] <Bobblybook> can anyone please explain to me how to install an intel 2100 802.11 driver?
[06:40] <spexi> What I have to do with that driver issue
[06:41] <nadim_> harley: not the best player in the world for general use...but powerful for seeing what's really going on with your files
[06:41] <arvind_khadri> !grub > arieltav
[06:41] <arieltav> how do i reinstall grub
[06:41] <IntuitiveNipple> lyrae: Locate the package's .deb file in/var/cache/apt/archives and delete it (using  'sudo rm' to get admin permissions)
[06:41] <arvind_khadri> arieltav: look into the pm from ubottu
[06:41] <spexi> well if live cd doesn't work, there's no reason to install ubuntu..
[06:41] <lyrae> thank you
[06:41] <kc8pxy> freq18hz: possibly true, but what sane, modern partitioner (sentient or automated) configures them that way anymore??
[06:42] <arieltav> i installed ubuntu after windows
[06:42] <harley> nadim_: downloading now, what is mplayer used for?
[06:42] <spexi> or is there different settings when you install ubuntu and don't run it on live cd
[06:42] <arieltav> there's no way windows overwrote my MBR because windows hasn't ran since i installed ubuntu
[06:42] <arvind_khadri> arieltav: ya i know...but to recover from the problem you are facing we need to re-install grub :)
[06:42] <spexi> so if just try to install, could it work
[06:42] <crudson1> Would anyone have ideas as to why XDMCP session is really slow (gnome or xfce) with 8.10. I have identical hardware running 7.10 that is plenty fast with XDMCP. A number of things work fine (window resizing, dragging) but things like navigating menus is terribly slow.
[06:42] <kc8pxy> arieltav: why is grub not working to boot your windows?
[06:42] <freq18hz> kc8pky: no singular partitioner, but perhaps doing something like sticking it in a mac, partitioning for guid, formating for dos
[06:42] <robson> i forgot, does a user have to be in a certain group to use sound?
[06:43] <the_gamer> hi filks, i installed kde and now i can't shut down the pc from gnome anymore. in what group do i have to be or what could be the problem?
[06:43] <freq18hz> kc8pky:there are lots of ways to screw up disks
[06:43] <lstarnes> robson: possibly the audio group
[06:43] <arieltav> it is stopping at error 21 i never get to the CLI
[06:43] <robson> arieltav: check /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:43] <veritos> I don't have a parallel port. Is there some weird reason why I should leave 'lp' in /etc/modules?
[06:43] <robson> arieltav: i had that same error today and had to change hda1 to be hda0
[06:43] <IntuitiveNipple> freq18hz: I'm afraid you don't appear to understand the subject. A partition table is 4 x 16 bytes in sector 0 of a disk, describing the layout of partitions on the disk. A *file-system* (FAT32, NTFS, ext3, etc.) is written into a partition. A partition table is universally understood
[06:43] <nadim_> harley: it plays music and video files...note that you can get information on what any package is for by typing "aptitude show <package>"
[06:43] <arieltav> robson: how did you do that
[06:44] <dixon208> ok.... anyone know how to get the file = gspca   and then get the driver spca5xx?
[06:44] <arieltav> i'm looking at menu.lst but it means nothing to me.
[06:44] <robson> vim /boot/grub/menu.lst, go to the bottom, find the windows part at the bottom
[06:44] <kc8pxy> freq18hz: agreed,  but that makes sense how?? and please spell my nick right, it makes conversion simpler.
[06:44] <harley> nadim_: does it help me to play mp3's on banshee?
[06:44] <arvind_khadri> robson: he is on a live cd...
[06:44] <robson> oh
[06:45] <arvind_khadri> arieltav: you have to re-install grub
[06:45] <kinja-sheep> dixon208: You're talking about the package?  aptitude search gspca
[06:45] <dixon208> yea
[06:45] <dixon208> the package
[06:45] <arvind_khadri> !find spca5xx
[06:45] <dixon208> does that go into the terminal?
[06:45] <arvind_khadri> !find spca5
[06:45] <nadim_> harley: it's a totally different player...but if you can't play with banshee (your original problem), then a good thing to try is another player, that may shed more light on your problem
[06:45] <dixon208> ubuntu 8.10 here
[06:45] <IntuitiveNipple> dixon208: I seem to recall the gspca driver is part of the V4L project, but over the past year or more it has been in a state of flux as it moved and there are *two* distinctly different versions depending on which kernel version/distro you're using
[06:47] <arvind_khadri> dixon208: there seems to be one in the repo...the gspca-source...
[06:47] <harley> nadim_: it also sometimes happened on rythmebox
[06:47] <robson> is there a way to update the groups one's in w/o closing terminal? i tried closing it and it won't work anyway
[06:47] <Blaenk`> hey guys whats the disk editor called, i want to install it
[06:47] <arieltav> robson: where did you change that. i see two entries for windows
[06:47] <Blaenk`> the partition editor
[06:47] <spexi> hmm.. Maybe my problem has something to do with my 19" LCD monitor
[06:47] <dixon208> ok so this is what i got = aptitude search gspca
[06:47] <dixon208> p   gspca-source                    - source for the gspca v4l kernel module  note i am not flooding
[06:47] <veritos> robson: run 'exec bash'
[06:47] <Blaenk`> is it gparted?
[06:48] <IntuitiveNipple> robson: No, you need to log-out of all sessions with that user ID to get new groups to take effect
[06:49] <robson> arieltav: root           (hd1,0) i had to change to root           (hd0,0), but on the livecd I don't know, are you editing your install with the livecd?
[06:49] <robson> IntuitiveNipple: thanks, brb
[06:49] <kinja-sheep> Blaenk`: Yes.  Gparted.
[06:50] <kinja-sheep> spexi: LiveCD may assume you're using 20" or above -- Hence the larger resolution.
[06:50] <Bobblybook> can anyone help me through installing a wireless driver in ubuntu? I'm a bit lost
[06:50] <spexi> kinja-sheep: yep. I've had some other issues also with linux when using 1440x900 with that monitor
[06:51] <arieltav> not sure what you mean, it says i have xp home on hd0,1 and nt/2000/xp on hd0,3. but i only have xp home???
[06:51] <spexi> weird ~150px black area on the left of the screen
[06:51] <spexi> maybe i should try to run live cd with my 15" lcd
[06:51] <jrjr> so whats new with ubuntu 9.04 jaunty
[06:52] <kinja-sheep> spexi: You might have better luck with this -- http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=ubuntu%2C+out+of+range
[06:52] <harley> mplayer doesn't work :\
[06:52] <spexi> yeah
[06:53] <ramirand> harley: How'd it fail?
[06:53] <dixon208> aptitude search gspca
[06:53] <dixon208> p   gspca-source                    - source for the gspca v4l kernel module   anyone know what to do next? plz pm me if u do, help would be appreciated ty
[06:54] <harley> ramirand: what you mean?
[06:54] <JRusto> is there anyway in linux to do lock contention measurment
[06:54] <ramirand> harley: Well, first, what command did you issue? Then, what did you see as a result? An error message? Did mplayer ever exit?
[06:55] <cheryl> can somebody for the love of god PLEASE tell me how to remove broken packages in ubuntu?
[06:55] <robson> cheryl: a specific one or all?
[06:55] <nadim_> cheryl: purge doesn't work?
[06:55] <robson> y
[06:55] <cheryl> nadim_: no... its notletting me reconfigure remove or install them
[06:56] <uspenok> does any one knows how to fix pidgin ?
[06:56] <SwitchMon44> My built in microphone on my eeepc doesn't work.  it doesn't register any sound in Skype or with the sound recorder.  Any thoughts?
[06:56] <robson> SwitchMon44: google ubuntu eee asus, there's a great website to get it all working
[06:56] <harley> well I used the command mplayer -identify 04_Shake_It.mp3
[06:57] <ASrock> http://omploader.org/vMngx/snapshot9.png                                       can anyone tell me where i can download a sidebar that shows system stats and stuff like in the pic on that page?
[06:57] <jrjr> how do i install programs in wine
[06:57] <jrjr> im new to ubuntu
[06:57] <mrh> Hi fellows
[06:57] <harley> jrjr: open with... wine
[06:57] <nadim_> cheryl: try the aptitude GUI (just type aptitude), and search for broken packages
[06:57] <robson> ASrock: i didn't look, but google conky for a start
[06:58] <cheryl> nadim_: totaly a good idea
[06:58] <cheryl> i didnt think of that
[06:58]  * cheryl goes off to try
[06:58] <mrh> Say, I have been looking to confirm that Terminal (the terminal emulator) does indeed run bash, but . . . can't find the info to confirm
[06:58] <ASrock> robson: i remember trying conky a while back but it didnt work right i will give it another shot though
[06:58] <jrjr> harley: thanks
[06:58] <kinja-sheep> ASrock: I'm guessing Conky but it could be different one.
[06:59] <uspenok> so what about pidgin ? how to use icq ?
[06:59] <ASrock> do you know names of any other ones off the top of your head?
[06:59] <pixelated> i use conky on my laptop with no problems...
[06:59] <robson> Asrock: conky is based off torsmo, so you could try that, but i wouldn't bother
[07:00] <nadim_> ASrock: gkrellm also will put a sidebar of system stats
[07:00] <robson> ah yeah that's the other main one
[07:00] <nadim_> ASrock: I've been using gkrellm when torturing my new system (flaky HW issue)...haven't tried conky though
[07:01] <Lokin> Can someone help me get my internet working? It's command line Intrepid connected via ethernet
[07:01] <pixelated> Lokin, whats wrong with it?
[07:01] <Lokin> can't CURL or lynx
[07:01] <nadim_> Lokin: there's a million things that could be...care to give a hint as to what you're seeing and what you have tried so far?
[07:02] <pixelated> Lokin, try 'ifconfig' and see if its up and has a ip
[07:03] <yoyit2> ok.. so i have a few "updates" sitting in my system updater, but it wont let me check them for install
[07:03] <yoyit2> how do i install then?

[07:04] <Lokin> That's a newline mr.Botyy
[07:04] <pixelated> Lokin, look for eth0 (or any number after eth)
[07:05] <nadim_> Lokin:  Local Loopback won't get you to google...do you see eth0?
[07:05] <Lokin> No
[07:05] <Lokin> nor eth1
[07:05] <kinja-sheep> What's the command to display all installed packages (in aptitude).
[07:06] <pixelated> Lokin, do you get your ip automatically? (via DHCP)
[07:06] <Lokin> Onya
[07:06] <Lokin> yes*
[07:06] <pixelated> try 'sudo dhclient' and see if that gets you an ip
[07:07] <Lokin> one sec think I found the problem in interfaces
[07:07] <Lokin> yar got it, was just being stupid
[07:07] <Lokin> thanks guys
[07:07] <pixelated> eth0 not listed or set to manual?
[07:07] <Lokin> Ladies maybe
[07:08] <nadim_> kinja-sheep: aptitude search ~i
[07:09] <kinja-sheep> nadim_: Thanks.  Can you tell me what ~ does?
[07:10] <DigitalSith> is there anyway to stop the system for checking for a swap partition during boot
[07:10] <DigitalSith> from**
[07:10] <dixonionthedemon> aptitude search gspca
[07:10] <dixonionthedemon>  p   gspca-source                    - source for the gspca v4l kernel module   anyone know what to do next? plz pm me if u do, help would be appreciated ty
[07:10] <ramirand> kinja-sheep: See /usr/share/doc/aptitude/README in the section called "Search Patterns"
[07:10] <nadim_> kinja-sheep: ~ is the prefix for special search patterns in aptitude...it's all explained in the exhaustive, but hard to find, aptitude manual... open the poorly named /usr/share/doc/aptitude/README
[07:10] <kinja-sheep> dixonionthedemon is dixon208. =\
[07:10] <yoyit2> how do i update my system, when i cant check off some of the updates?
[07:10] <jrjr> kinja-sleep: the shell expands it to your home dir
[07:10] <nadim_> oops, too slow
[07:11] <kinja-sheep> ramirand + nadim_:  Will take a look at the said manual.  :)
[07:12] <ari_stress> guys, what's the difference between apt-get upgrade, apt-get update?
[07:13] <pixelated> ari_stress, upgrade upgrades from one version to another, update updates packages that have newer bug/security fixes
[07:13] <ari_stress> pixelated: thanks :)
[07:14] <pixelated> np
[07:14] <nadim_> pixilated: actually, I think update only updates the list of available packages
[07:15]  * aceat64 is away: not here
[07:15] <pixelated> nadim_, ahh yeah it does...
[07:15] <sirhcjw> anyone got any ideas quadro fx 770M no dvi out in hp 8530w?

[07:17] <pixelated> ari_stress, sorry got that wrong, updates package info in the cache, and upgrade upgrades the packages that have newer versions
[07:17] <sirhcjw> I am running nvidia drivers 180.11
[07:17] <arieltav> i'm back
[07:17] <dixon208> wb
[07:18] <arieltav> anyone remember me? i'm troubleshooting grub on ubuntu 8.1
[07:18] <arieltav> anyone?
[07:19] <nadim_> bueller?
[07:19] <pixelated> arieltav, whats the problem?
[07:19] <lyrae> how do i find out whos running a process?
[07:19] <kinja-sheep> dixon208: aptitude --help
[07:19] <ari_stress> lyrae: ps aux
[07:19] <IntuitiveNipple> lyrae: ps -ef | grep <processname>
[07:19] <ari_stress> IntuitiveNipple: very nice nick! :)
[07:19] <lyrae> thank you
[07:19] <kinja-sheep> dixon208: You need to learn how to use aptitude / apt-get first.  It's easier to install packages instead of relying on synpathic(sp?)
[07:19] <cakey> synpathetic
[07:20] <cakey> synapythonic
[07:20] <ramirand> arieltav: technically, it's 8.10, because the 10 = october, when it was released. Just figured I'd point that out to avoid confusion someday in the future.
[07:20] <arieltav> pixelated: i get error 21 in grub. i just followed the instructions @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub, to no avail.
[07:20] <skate2> is there a reason to use firestarter if your router has a firewall?
[07:20] <jrjr> does anyone know how to get the visual effects working with an ati 9000 video card
[07:20] <cakey> download compiz fusion
[07:20] <ari_stress> skate2: do you control the router? if yes, then i think you're safe
[07:21] <jrjr> i did that
[07:21] <nadim_> jrjr: you have flgrx installed already?
[07:21] <phorensic> cakey: compiz is installed by default.. you just need the manager
[07:21] <arieltav> thanks ramirand
[07:21] <jrjr> yup
[07:21] <robson> what will tell you what graphics driver is being used currently?
[07:21] <jrjr> i have the manager too
[07:21] <kinja-sheep> skate2: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/security (Look under Firewall).
[07:21] <phorensic> 3d rendering enabled?
[07:21] <kinja-sheep> skate2: Or just read the whole thing.
[07:21] <arieltav> robson: remeber me?
[07:22] <yoyit2> how do i tell if my ATI graphics card's driver is installed? (non-restricted)
[07:22] <robson> arieltav: yes
[07:22] <skate2> thanks
[07:23] <mshadle> my /sys shows "d????????? sys/"  - how do i fix that? im in single user mode mounted to the disk... it wont boot
[07:23] <nadim_> jrjr: preferences -> appearance -> visual effects -> extra
[07:23] <jrjr>  how do i tell if the flgrx driver is working
[07:24] <nadim_> jrjr: I usually tell because my windows wobble :)
[07:24] <robson> jrjr: glxinfo might work
[07:24] <robson> glxinfo won't tell me though
[07:24] <Slart> jrjr: run glxgears -info, look at the top part there... see what renderer you're using
[07:25] <arieltav> so i reinstalled grub and got the same problem, but i have a theory. i have the grub folder under my HD but when i look in "file system " it's not there. also when i followed the instructions on the link you suggested (gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst) it brought up an empty doc. because as i said, the folder isn't even there!? does that make any sense?
[07:25] <robson> Slart: glxgears gives me an error: X error of failed request: BadRequest...
[07:25] <arieltav> robson: you catch that?
[07:25] <pixelated> arieltav, yes, /boot probly isnt in your root filesystem, look for a partition that is ~100mb in size
[07:26] <arieltav> pixelated: not sure what you mean.
[07:26] <robson> arieltav: no, i'm confused. i didn't hear the whole story, but someone mentioned you're trying to edit a livecd?
[07:27] <pixelated> arieltav, can you boot the machine with a live cd?
[07:27] <Marupa> Is there a way to ssh into Ubuntu and grab a screenshot of the current screen?  I've tried scrot, but it doesn't recognize that X is running.
[07:27] <robson> arieltav: did you pop a livecd in to try and fix your ubuntu install or are you trying to install ubuntu?
[07:27] <yoyit2> ok i downloaded the ATI driver but its a .run (bin i think) and it wont open with anything.. how do i install it??
[07:27] <arieltav> no, i'm trying to get grub to let me boot xp/ubuntu. i'm working on from the livecd now.
[07:27] <robson> yoyit2: try ./atidrivername
[07:27] <ari_stress> Marupa: i dont think we can do that? grabbing screenshot from ssh?
[07:27] <robson> yoyit2: where atidrivername is the filename of the .run file
[07:27] <IntuitiveNipple> arieltav: A single hard drive, or more than one?
[07:27] <jrjr> slart: in using  Mesa DRI R200 20060602 AGP 4x x86/MMX/SSE2 TCL
[07:28] <ddoom> I've just updated my ubuntu 8.04.2 box and it has broken X (nvidia onboard) any ideas on how to fix?
[07:28] <Marupa> ari_stress, I know scrot can grab a screenshot from X from the terminal.
[07:28] <Osaris> !sources
[07:28] <arieltav> i was running xp, than i added a second drive and installed ubuntu on it. now i just get error 21 when i boot.
[07:28] <nadim_> yoyit2: what's wrong with just having Ubuntu manage the driver through Administration -> Hardware Drivers
[07:28] <robson> what's it mean if glxgears errors instead of running at all?
[07:28] <nightrid3r> !nvidia | ddoom
[07:28] <robson> arieltav: so you're using a livecd to try and fix it?
[07:29] <nadim_> robson: dunno...maybe it can't find a suitable renderer?
[07:29] <arieltav> yes
[07:29] <bobblybook> can someone tell me what the default root pw is? I don't recall setting it up, yet it gives me an invalid PW when I login with root
[07:29] <robson> arieltav: and do you get the 21 error on windows or linux?
[07:29] <prince_jammys> bobblybook: there is none. it's disabled
[07:29] <arieltav> on step 1.5
[07:29] <bobblybook> oh, how can I enable the account/give my account root access?
[07:29] <jtaji> !root | bobblybook
[07:29] <bobblybook> A script file said I needed it.
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> robson: you'll get an error on terminal when you run it, websearch for it
[07:29] <robson> you can set the root password if you want
[07:30] <yoyit2> nadim_: nothing shows up at all if i do that
[07:30] <prince_jammys> bobblybook: use 'sudo' ... eg sudo somecommand
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> robson: its not advised in ubuntu
[07:30] <Fractured> sudo isnt always good enough
[07:30] <bobblybook> ok thanks, I'll look it up.
[07:30] <robson> well when sudo isn't just do sudo su -
[07:30] <arieltav> robson: it's hanging on error 21 right after step 1.5
[07:30] <robson> arieltav: what the heck is step 1.5?
[07:30] <yoyit2> nadim_: thats only third party.. not supported drivers\
[07:30] <Marupa> Is that at all possible?
[07:30] <harley> when I click the media launch shortcut on my keyboard it attempts to open rythmebox, how do I make it open banshee?
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> robson: sudo -i is advised over sudo su
[07:30] <robson> arieltav: that's part of the error message you mean?
[07:30] <bobblybook> what is the difference between su, su - and sudo?
[07:31] <Fractured> dont for get sue
[07:31] <bobblybook> I read something about su - clearing something but I really didn't understand it
[07:31] <arieltav> thats what it says right before the error.
[07:31] <IntuitiveNipple> arieltav: From the LiveCD, can you 'see' the installed Ubuntu file-system?
[07:31] <arieltav> and right after cmos
[07:31] <robson> arieltav: ok, but are you trying to boot into windows or linux?
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> bobblybook: use sudo <command> and you'll be fine. gksudo <command> for ui commands like gedit
[07:31] <bobblybook> alright
[07:31] <harley> does anybody know how I can make my media key open banshee and not rythmebox?
[07:31] <IntuitiveNipple> arieltav: info: GRUB Error 21 means that the stage 1.5 code can't be found
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> !shortcuts | harley
[07:32] <arieltav> at this point i'll take what i can get. it just goes CMOS -> STEP 1.5 -> ERROR 21!
[07:32] <jordan_> how come when i change my monitor it doesn't work? do i need to restart my computer?
[07:32] <bobblybook> the only thing is, I'm actually running a script file - how do I execute it with sudo?
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> !grub | arieltav
[07:32] <robson> oh. i had that happen with a bad livecd
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> bobblybook: put sudo for the commands in the script, then run the script with: sudo <scriptname>
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> bobblybook: make sure you chmod +x the script
[07:33] <arieltav> thanx actionparsnip but i tried that. and i loaded ubuntu after windows.
[07:33] <bobblybook> ActionParsnip: hold on I'll pm you, I have a few questions
[07:34] <arieltav> robson: i did the diagnostic on the livecd and it said the cd was good
[07:34] <jordan_> is there a way to set up dual monitors?
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> arieltav: thats fine, the fact grub is loading and erroring means the menu.list isnt right
[07:34] <arieltav> so how do i fix it?
[07:34] <Osaris> dude i get a error about my sources for apt-get for 8.10 x64 . Where can i get default repositries for it. I did try and change it to uk.archive.ubuntu ect and also us but the same prob
[07:34] <arieltav> shouldn't the grub folder show up in "file system"?
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> arieltav: it does, its in /boot/grub/menu.list
[07:35] <arieltav> but mine has no grub folder.
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> arieltav: you will need to look into grub to make sure all settingsfor boot are correct
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> arieltav: then you need to install it and configure if you dont have it at all
[07:36] <IntuitiveNipple> arieltav: In the LiveCD session, you'll need to mount the hard-disk file-system that has Ubuntu installed in it.
[07:36] <arieltav> i have a grub folder on my hardrive, but it doesn't show up under "file system"
[07:36] <Osaris> W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/Release  Unable to find expected entry  universe/binary-amd64/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
[07:36] <IntuitiveNipple> arieltav: There will be no /boot/grub/ when running the LiveCD
[07:37] <arieltav> ah, that makes sense. so how do i mount the file system?
[07:37] <yoyit2> PLEASE RESPOND: why cant i check off the updates in the update manager.. some will update.. but theres about 20 that will not update (they just sit there and i cant chcke them off)
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> arieltav: access it via yerminal
[07:37] <arieltav> you're talking to a total newb here. how do i do that?
[07:38] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:38] <ActionParsnip> !mount | arieltav
[07:38] <IntuitiveNipple> arieltav: Think carefully to avoid getting yourself confused... When running the LiveCD what you see in the 'File System' is what is mounted from the LiveCD only... to see the contents of another file-system from a hard-disk partition you'll need to mount the hard disk partition to a directory in the LiveCD session. Usually they will be mounted in /media/
[07:38] <Ekips> Hm, my mirror seems to be broken too atm
[07:39] <Osaris> i did try and change it
[07:39] <roccity_> yoyit2, have you tried updating from the cli
[07:39] <Osaris> but us, za, uk still the same
[07:39] <Ekips> 64 bit?
[07:39] <Osaris> yes
[07:39] <IntuitiveNipple> ari_stress: So, for example, if in the LiveCD session you mount the Ubuntu file-system from the 2nd hard disk, it might be mounted to /media/disk/ so you'd find the grub files at /media/disk/boot/grub/
[07:39] <Ekips> Failed to fetch http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-libc-dev_2.6.27-11.27_amd64.deb  404 Not Found

[07:40] <Ekips> etc
[07:40] <yoyit2> roccity_: whats cli??
[07:40] <Ekips> I think it's globally broken
[07:40] <Ekips> At a guess
[07:40] <FloodBot1> Ekips: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:40] <maco> yoyit2: because theyre not available. possibly they were built and added to the repository but things they depend upon are not finished yet.
[07:40] <Ekips> 2 lines, silly botthing
[07:40] <IntuitiveNipple> oops s/ari_stress/arieltav/
[07:40] <roccity_> yoyit2, if you open a terminal and type sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade see if that helps
[07:41] <yoyit2> maco: some of them were for updating mp4 codecs.. and even tho i have all of them installed.. now that i cant use the "pending update" i cant use mp4 files at all :(
[07:41] <neil_d> does the aoe 'vblade' work in 8.10 ?
[07:41] <Osaris> its just this that i have Unable to find expected entry  universe/binary-amd64/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
[07:41] <Osaris> but think i had that prob the last time 2
[07:41] <roccity_> yoyit2, cli stands for command line interface
[07:41] <maco> yoyit2: old versions shouldnt stop working just because a new version exists
[07:42] <req-> Does the latest ubuntu come with gamepad drivers? If not, are they difficult to install? I couldn't get them working on my laptop (linpus)
[07:42] <yoyit2> maco: well for some reason i cant play mp4 or mp3s and ive re-installed the codecs and programs and plugins MANY times.. and they still dont work.. they jsut spontainiously quit working on me
[07:43] <Osaris> then i changed it over to uk
[07:43] <Ekips> Main server seems to work
[07:43] <roccity_> yoyit2, what program are you using?
[07:43] <jrjr> is it worth upgrading from hardy to 8.10
[07:44] <kinja-sheep> How can I resolve this?  Did the GPG code change or something?  http://sheep.pastebin.com/f25b6caa7
[07:44] <lockd> is there a *theme-switch for gtk?
[07:44] <crdlb> lockd: for which version of gtk? and are you using any desktop environment?
[07:44] <jrjr> is it worth upgrading from hardy to 8.10
[07:45] <pZombie> jrjr - i found its not
[07:45] <pZombie> 8.04 is faster on my vbox
[07:45] <pZombie> much faster...
[07:45] <yoyit2> roccity_: totem, and vlc
[07:45] <lockd> crdlb: GNOME, but for gtk-1 apps
[07:45] <harley> ActionParsnip: keytouch doesn't have my keyboard :|
[07:46] <roccity_> yoyit2, have you checked the preferences and seen what sound engine they are using?
[07:46] <pZombie> I installed 9.04 on my HP laptop with an ati 9600 to test it. Compiz worked but openarena was not accelerated.
[07:46] <pZombie> So i tried to install the original ati drivers
[07:46] <crdlb> lockd: try gtk-theme-switch
[07:46] <jrjr> pZombie: it working well on my 600m but the extra effects dont work
[07:47] <ActionParsnip> harley: do the keys generate events in xev?
[07:47] <crdlb> lockd: which should provide 'switch' and 'switch2' commands; you want the former
[07:47] <lockd> crdlb: doesn't exist, I guess I'll have to build by hand
[07:47] <roccity_> yoyit2, can you hear other sounds?
[07:47] <pZombie> I remember i got all to work on this laptop, including playing WoW via wine
[07:47] <harley> ActionParsnip: sorry I don't understand what you mean
[07:47] <crdlb> lockd: hardy has it at least
[07:47] <jrjr> pZombie: hows is 9.04
[07:48] <pZombie> jrjr so far it seems 8.04 is the winner
[07:48] <lockd> ah, that's why.
[07:48] <yoyit2> roccity_: yeah it starts playing the sound.. then shows the visualizer, then comes up with a window saying that it cant find the codec... then it says "search for codec". so i click search, and then its says there are non
[07:48] <kinja-sheep> !show gtk-theme-switch
[07:48] <kinja-sheep> !info gtk-theme-switch
[07:48] <IntuitiveNipple> kinja-sheep: That key ID is the "Launchpad PPA for OpenOffice.org Scribblers" key. You just need to add that to your local key-ring
[07:48] <kinja-sheep> lockd: What do you mean?  It doesn't exist?  >_>
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> harley: run terminal, type xev, press enter, try youor keys
[07:48] <lockd> kinja-sheep: doesn't exist in intrepid's repositories, which means I have to build it
[07:49] <roccity_> yoyit2, you can try the medibuntu repo
[07:49] <jrjr> pZombie: do you know about the ati rv250 9000 driver
[07:49] <harley> alright, now what?
[07:49] <pZombie> jrjr - If you dont need some feature which 8.04 does not have, i d stick with it
[07:49] <kinja-sheep> lockd: I'm using intrepid -- How is it in my list?  Maybe what roccity_ just said.
[07:49] <new2ubuntu> i cant install the .run file for my ati driver how do i run a .run file?
[07:49] <harley> my keys are working, but keytouch wasn't finding things like media
[07:49] <IntuitiveNipple> kinja-sheep: 'gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com  --recv-key 60D11217247D1CFF
[07:49] <yoyit2> roccity_: how do you do that??
[07:49] <pZombie> jrjr i know that i will spend 1 day now trying to figure out how to install a stupid driver
[07:49] <kinja-sheep> IntuitiveNipple: How would I?  It never showed up before....
[07:50] <roccity_> yoyit2, go to www.medibuntu.org I think it is and just copy and paste the code there in a terminal
[07:50] <pZombie> How do you uninstall old ati drivers completely, and how do you check if you really removed all?
[07:50] <roccity_> yoyit2, then type sudo apt-get install non-free-codec
[07:50] <robson> if i've decided to get the fgrlx driver from ati, do i have to apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx first?
[07:50] <roccity_> yoyit2, haveyou install the ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[07:51] <crdlb> lockd: well, you can always just edit the ~/.gtkrc if intrepid has no gui available
[07:51] <roccity_> that has most codecs and some other things like flash
[07:51] <lockd> crdlb: well I'll have to build some theme engines anyway
[07:51] <jrjr> pZombie: hey i forgot the command to show what version of ubuntu im running
[07:51] <pZombie> robson - i advice you to stick with what you have no if its running...
[07:51] <arieltav> OMFG i thought this was supposed to be easy!!! so i use the Desktop/Live CD to install Grub into my MBR (Master Boot Record). and i still have the same error 15!!!
[07:51] <yoyit2> roccity_: yes i have
[07:52] <robson> pZombie: it's not... following hardy instructions (latest... using intrepid tho) and insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/volatile/fglrx.ko fails not finding the fglrx.ko file
[07:52] <roccity_> yoyit2, what version on ubuntu you running? 8.10 or 8.04?
[07:52] <arieltav> sombody please give me an easy answer! PLEASE!!!
[07:52] <yoyit2> roccity_: 8.10 .. and sudo apt-get install non-free-codec doesnt work
[07:52] <roccity_> yoyit2, type that after you get the medibuntu repo
[07:52] <IntuitiveNipple> kinja-sheep: See https://edge.launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive/ppa (note the "This repository is signed with...")
[07:53] <jrjr>  i forgot the command to show what version of ubuntu im running
[07:53] <roccity_> what happens when you type sudo ala-utils in a terminal?
[07:53] <new2ubuntu> how do i install a .run (bin i think)???
[07:53] <roccity_> yoyit2, does it show your sound card?
[07:53] <robson> new2ubuntu ./filename
[07:53] <roccity_> brb
[07:53] <pZombie> robson oh yeah, long ago i remember doing similar stuff to get mine working. aint it fun what you have to do to get proper acceleration going?
[07:53] <robson> if you're in its directory
[07:53] <IntuitiveNipple> jrjr: lsb_release -a
[07:54] <arieltav> there's 1301 people in this room is it possible that not one of them is knowlegable and kind enough to help with what i can only assume must be an easy problem!!??
[07:54] <new2ubuntu> robson: including the location of the file??
[07:54] <yoyit2> roccity_: im totally lost.. im failry new to linux still
[07:54] <robson> new2ubuntu: if the installer is in your homedir, and it's called ati-driver-installer..., do ./ati-driver-installer
[07:54] <jrjr> IntuitiveNipple:thanks thanks
[07:55] <arieltav> :'(
[07:55] <lockd> arieltav: error 15 means file not found. essentially means someone messed up the configurator, as you didn't configure it
[07:55] <pixelated> arieltav, are you still getting error 21?
[07:55] <robson> new2ubuntu: assuming you're in the same dir as the file. otherwise type the full path
[07:55] <lockd> I thought ariel said error 15
[07:55] <arieltav> yes.
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> harley: please put my complete name at the start of the line so its highlighted, you can tab complete names
[07:55] <arieltav> error 21
[07:55] <harley> ActionParsnip: how do I tab names?
[07:55] <kinja-sheep> IntuitiveNipple: I take it that the deb src changed for the said package?
[07:56] <robson> new2ubuntu: and if that doesn't work, do chmod +x ati-driver-installer*
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> harley: type acti then press tab
[07:56] <pixelated> arieltav, are you booted on it with livecd? and does it have inet access in the livecd?
[07:56] <chinmay> hello, i a new on IRC and dont know much about using it, I have a question about gnome-do where do i ask
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> harley: in irc
[07:56] <new2ubuntu> robson: its in /home/amy/downlaods/ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run
[07:56] <harley> ActionParsnip, ah ok, is this highlighted?
[07:56] <IntuitiveNipple> kinja-sheep: No idea but if you're getting an update then check the changelog for it
[07:56] <arieltav> no new ideas?? anyone?
[07:56] <arieltav> pixelated?
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> harley: yes, and in a room of 1300 people it kinda helps
[07:56] <arieltav> robson?
[07:56] <pixelated> arieltav, are you booted on it with livecd? and does it have inet access in the livecd?
[07:56] <arieltav> yes and yes.
[07:56] <harley> ActionParsnip, haha ok sorry, thanks for the tip
[07:57] <IntuitiveNipple> arieltav: Yes, but there's too much distraction in this channel to focus on guiding you through fixing it
[07:57] <robson> new2ubuntu: type this exactly (without quotes): "cd ~amy/downloads; chmod +x ati-driver*; ./ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run"
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> harley: ok, make a note of the keycodes they create and you can use those to make stuff happen
[07:57] <lockd> arieltav: I don't know if you are able to install it, but the ONLY solution for me on one install was using lilo
[07:57] <pixelated> ok under applications  run terminal
[07:57] <crdlb> new2ubuntu: whoa, version 8.28.8 of the proprietary ATI driver (aka FGLRX) has absolutely zero chance of working on any recent version of ubuntu
[07:57] <pixelated> arieltav,  ok under applications  run terminal
[07:57] <arieltav> lockd: never heard of it.
[07:57] <harley> ActionParsnip, where do I enter the code?
[07:57] <arieltav> pixelated: ok.
[07:57] <lockd> arieltav: it's the only alternative to grub, really
[07:57] <jtaji> robson: (new2ubuntu) I believe you mean ~/downloads
[07:58] <chinmay> i want to install gnome-do, but synaptic is showing version 0.6 and 0.4 only, (i am using hardy)
[07:58] <robson> jtaji: no ~amy cause what if she's doing it as root?
[07:58] <arieltav> pixelated: now what?
[07:58] <pixelated> arieltav, in that terminal run 'sudo fdisk -l' and put that into a pastebin
[07:58] <pixelated> !pastebin
[07:58] <crdlb> new2ubuntu: if your ATI card is really older than the radeon 9500, the only driver choice is the one you're already using
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> !compile > bobblybook
[07:58] <robson> jtaji: ~amy is the same as ~ if she's logged in as amy anyway
[07:58] <prince_jammys> robson: ~amy expands to amy's home directory
[07:58] <ninom> hey guys, how are you doing. i installed avant manager and removef all my other panels now i want my top panel to have same original links it had when i just installed ubuntu 8.10 same as bottom panel. anyone can hep ?
[07:58] <arieltav> what's a pastbin?
[07:58] <jtaji> robson: true, true
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> harley: go websearch it out, i only know how its donr in fluxbox
[07:59] <chinmay> i want to install gnome-do, but synaptic is showing version 0.6 and 0.4 only, (i am using hardy)
[07:59] <robson> prince_jammys: just test it, they're the same
[07:59] <arvind_khadri> chinmay: dont repeat
[07:59] <chinmay> soory
[07:59] <prince_jammys> robson: well, you asked what if she was root?
[07:59] <arieltav> pixelated: i'm looking at the result in the terminal but what's a pastbin?
[07:59] <arvind_khadri> chinmay: so whats the problem?
[08:00] <robson> prince_jammys: it doesn't matter, what i told her will work on any account
[08:00] <DJones> !pastebin | arieltav
[08:00] <chinmay> i tried installing from source
[08:00] <pixelated> !pastebin | arieltav
[08:00] <robson> prince_jammys: tho the installer probably needs to be run as her with sudo or as root
[08:00] <harley> ActionParsnip, KeyTouch doesn't let me edit the value of the media key
[08:00] <arvind_khadri> chinmay: why??? there is gnome-do in the repo's
[08:00] <chinmay> but it asking for notify-sharp package, which is not available anywhere
[08:00] <jtaji> robson: I never knew that one, cheers
[08:00] <arvind_khadri> chinmay: open the terminal and type sudo apt-get install gnome-do
[08:01] <prince_jammys> robson: if she was root (really root), ~amy/foo would run the file in amy's homedir, ~/foo would look for the file in foo's rootdir
[08:01] <arieltav> ok. http://paste.ubuntu.com/113506/
[08:01] <ninom> does anyone know how can i return all settings doen on desktop to original. like top panel bottom panel links on top panel clock open programs and links on top left
[08:01] <prince_jammys> robson: root's home dir, i meant
[08:01] <chinmay> yeah but whenever i try to install, it is installing .6
[08:01] <b4chip> hi there, I have a lib in php which help me generate excel files but i get an error when I need to override on existing (previous) xls file
[08:01] <robson> prince_jammys: yeah and she said it's in amy's so that's why i told her ~amy
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> harley: maybe it needs gksudo?
[08:01] <d3xter> hey guys
[08:01] <arvind_khadri> chinmay: it will install whats there in the repo'
[08:01] <b4chip> what right to use on that dir?
[08:01] <arvind_khadri> !tab | chinmay
[08:02] <chinmay> arvind_khadri,  Thanks for tip
[08:02] <prince_jammys> robson: apologies. i totally misunderstood you and thought you were saying the opposite.
[08:02] <robson> ubottu: nice tip! i asked people for a good way and noone ever knew. sure it depends on client tho
[08:02] <arvind_khadri> chinmay: np :) and ya try to avoid compiling from the source
[08:02] <sekyourbox> For some reason all the games I have on ubuntu, have really crappy video.. How do I find out if there are better video drivers for my video card?
[08:02] <arieltav> pixelated: does that tell you anything
[08:02] <linny1> on boot up i get a verbose boot with an error : cannot enumarate usb device on port 1 anyone know what this means ?
[08:02] <arvind_khadri> robson: almost all the clients have the tab stuff :)
[08:02] <robson> wow i just complimented a bot very sincerely
[08:03] <pixelated> arieltav, you need to paste the url for the pastebin here so i can see it
[08:03] <prince_jammys> !botsnack
[08:03] <chinmay> arvind_khadri: i had no choice, i tried adding repository from gnome-do site but it still installs .6
[08:03] <linny1> sekyourbox what card and drivers you got ?
[08:03] <pixelated> sry didnt see it, looking now
[08:03] <AnnonyMouse1> hi guys. building a box to host hypervisor/VM, ala Xen. starting out with mini.iso, 64-bit server, with LVM partitions
[08:03] <arvind_khadri> chinmay: after adding the repo from there you must run sudo apt-get update
[08:03] <AnnonyMouse1> LVM installation is asking me for partition type
[08:04] <sekyourbox> linny, cant remember what onboard card i have, think nvidia... And I just used whatever installed with ubuntu
[08:04] <marek_> hi, i have a problem with connecting to my bluetooth phone - in order to connect to the internet, can you help me?
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> sekyourbox: lspci | grep -i vga
[08:04] <arvind_khadri> !bluetooth | marek_
[08:04] <AnnonyMouse1> options: aix amiga bsd dvh gpt mac msdos pc98 sun loop
[08:04] <kinja-sheep> IntuitiveNipple: I'm still experiencing errors -- I have it on the list.  Is the GPG file missing?  I'm not sure why this is occuring.
[08:04] <sekyourbox> Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[08:04] <AnnonyMouse1> what do I pick? ext3 or 4 not avail
[08:04] <sekyourbox> Yea, i guess thats the correct one
[08:05] <sekyourbox> My other box has nvidia
[08:05] <chinmay> arvind_khadri: already done
[08:05] <pZombie> not sure how i did it, but now the damn acceleration works
[08:05] <AnnonyMouse1> thinking bsd or sun, as those are the only ones that seem to make sense
[08:05] <wolter> hey kinja-sheep, its the xps guy again.
[08:05] <crdlb> sekyourbox: sounds like a bumper sticker :)
[08:05] <IntuitiveNipple> kinja-sheep: Not sure then; assuming gpg imported the key to the public keyring it should be using that
[08:05] <wolter> kinja-sheep, is your shutdown button soft, or clickable?
[08:05] <ninom> anyone knows how to return panels to its original state
[08:05] <arvind_khadri> chinmay: so then in there repo's too .6 might be the latest
[08:05] <DizzyDoo> Hi, I'm trying to build a server box with Linux (having never used Linux before) how do I know if the mainboard/processor I'm buying is compatible or not?
[08:05] <IntuitiveNipple> linny1: See https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/256767
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> sekyourbox: then you need to install whatever drivers fit the card lspci says you have
[08:06] <prince_jammys> !hardware | DizzyDoo
[08:06] <mactimes> chinmay: This should provide you full update and cleanup before trying the new package you wan to install:  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get autoremove --purge && sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get clean
[08:06] <linny1> sekyourbox i think the drivers for those are called xserver-xorg-video-intel
[08:06] <AnnonyMouse1> ninom : there may be some config files in ur ~ u can delete/rename
[08:06] <arvind_khadri> DizzyDoo: linux is compatible with all the processors
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> sekyourbox: for nvidia read:
[08:06] <ninom> how to return panels to its original state with all the links for accessories programs hard drive links
[08:06] <linny1> thanks IntuitiveNipple
[08:06] <kinja-sheep> wolter: Using the laptop.  I think it's... both?  As long as the button does its purpose.
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> !nvidia | sekyourbox
[08:06] <pixelated> arieltav, in the terminal type 'mkdir /mnt/linuxroot'
[08:06] <d3xter> i've got a little problem. sometimes my system-fan is working at max-speed, cpu is throttled to 1ghz and cpu-load goes up to nearly 100%, here is my dmesg: http://pastebin.com/f2df4703e
[08:06] <crdlb> sekyourbox: but you can't expect much of anything from an intel 865
[08:06] <Flannel> mactimes: Half of those commands don't make any sense.
[08:06] <chinmay> arvind_khadri: they are saying that .8 is launched....i should mail them i think
[08:06] <kinja-sheep> IntuitiveNipple: How would I know if GPG is imported?
[08:06] <nightrid3r> DizzyDoo: get one with a realtec NIC those are supported
[08:07] <chinmay> mactimes: thanks i will try that
[08:07] <DizzyDoo> arvind_khadri: what about motherboards? I'm interested in a very low power VIA board (also cheap)
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> pixelated: you'll need sudo for that
[08:07] <mactimes> Flannel: For updating and cleaning up packages?
[08:07] <sekyourbox> yea, but this is Quake 3 we are talkin
[08:07] <wolter> kinja-sheep, I mean, when you press it, does it sound like a click, or does it just push softly?
[08:07] <arieltav> pixelated: permission denied
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> pixelated: /mnt is not writable by users
[08:07] <pixelated> arieltav, and then type 'sudo mount /dev/sdb5 /mnt/linuxroot'
[08:07] <arvind_khadri> DizzyDoo: yup i have the same :)
[08:07] <kinja-sheep> wolter: I don't want to press the power button.  You dig me? ;)
[08:07] <Flannel> mactimes: Right.
[08:07] <arvind_khadri> chinmay: ya :)
[08:07] <d3xter> every time this happends, i get those hpet increasing min_delta_ns
[08:07] <pixelated> arieltav, sry put sudo in front of it...
[08:07] <ninom> is there a way to return ubuntu to its original state desktop like when it just installed?
[08:07] <kinja-sheep> wolter: I think just softly.
[08:07] <sekyourbox> How do I find out what driver im using
[08:07] <mactimes> Flannel: You'd better check yout man pages ^^
[08:07] <pixelated> ActionParsnip, i know
[08:07] <DizzyDoo> arvind_khadri: what model of VIA motherboard are you using?
[08:07] <sekyourbox> nevermind
[08:08] <arieltav> pixelated :mount: mount point /mnt/linuxroot does not exist
[08:08] <wolter> kinja-sheep, good thing. My mom's 1330 does it by click, and I got scared that mine was wrong.
[08:08] <pixelated> ActionParsnip, remembering while doing is one thing, remembering while telling someone is different
[08:08] <pixelated> arieltav, yes you need to do 'sudo mkdir /mnt/linuxroot' first
[08:08] <arieltav> pixelated: ok, dir made.
[08:08] <pixelated> arieltav, then the mount
[08:08] <Flannel> mactimes: I'm well aware of what the commands do.  You're just not recommending them in a way that makes much sense.  Why would you upgrade and then dist-upgrade? or autoclean and then clean?  generally "try everything in the manpage" isn't a good blanket recommendation.
[08:08] <arieltav> pixelated: done
[08:09] <arvind_khadri> DizzyDoo: i dont remember the chipset , sorry... but motherboard has got nothing to do with OS compatability..the other parts like ethernet cards may have...but the latest kernels have great support :)
[08:09] <pixelated> then cd /mnt/linuxroot/boot
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> pixelated: its second nature, users have very little access so unless its in ~/ its gonna need sudo to mkdir anywhere else, simples
[08:09] <DizzyDoo> arvind_khadri Thanks!
[08:09] <marek_> arvind_khadri i have succesfully set up bt conncetion, problem is while connecting
[08:09] <AnnonyMouse1> anyone able to help me w LVM pls?
[08:09] <pixelated> ActionParsnip, uh yeah... read what i said again...
[08:09] <arieltav> pixelated: ok
[08:09] <Thisdude> #drupal
[08:09] <kinja-sheep> wolter: Your mom... Lol.   So you have 1530.  Right?  Everything is going good for you tho?
[08:09] <Thisdude> sorry
[08:09] <Flannel> !anyone | AnnonyMouse1
[08:10] <pixelated> arieltav, see if there are files in there, and a directory named grub
[08:10] <arieltav> pixelated: now what?
[08:10] <arvind_khadri> marek_: i dont have much idea about it ..sorry...
[08:10] <arieltav> pixelated: how do i do that?
[08:10] <kinja-sheep> IntuitiveNipple: I got it working now.  Apparently It didn't do well on the terminal.  I have to import the file manually.
[08:10] <pixelated> arieltav, 'ls'
[08:10] <the_gamer> hi filks, i installed kde and now i can't shut down the pc from gnome anymore. in what group do i have to be or what could be the problem?
[08:10] <AnnonyMouse1> ubottu :  r u turin?
[08:10] <scientes> why is synaptic refusing to upgrade, it will remove dependanciesinstead of upgrading them , and many libraries are relying on specific version instead of allow versions to be newer
[08:10] <wolter> kinja-sheep, yeah, today actually my gstreamer-properties webcam test worked.
[08:10] <arieltav> pixelated: yes
[08:11] <AnnonyMouse1> ubottu : all ur base r belong 2 us?
[08:11] <IntuitiveNipple> kinja-sheep: This should confirm that key is in the keyring: gpg  --list-public-keys 60D11217247D1CFF
[08:11] <pixelated> arieltav, then 'cd grub'
[08:11] <wolter> it gave me a fullscreen playback of the webcam, but just once.
[08:11] <arvind_khadri> the_gamer: sudo shuthow -h
[08:11] <d3xter> i've got a little problem. sometimes my system-fan is working at max-speed, cpu is throttled to 1ghz and cpu-load goes up to nearly 100%, here is my dmesg: http://pastebin.com/f2df4703e
[08:11] <arieltav> pixelated: ok, now?
[08:11] <sekyourbox> xserver-xorg-video-i810 is already the newest version. so I guess that open quake just sucks...
[08:11] <kinja-sheep> IntuitiveNipple: Yup.  It displayed the name.
[08:11] <the_gamer> arvind_khadri, i know i can shut it down like that
[08:11] <arvind_khadri> the_gamer: sorry shutdown
[08:11] <mactimes> Flannel: Just rollback and see what he is trying to do.  I think having the system up-to-date can provide him with better chances to install whatever package he is trying to get, once he added new repos in his list.
[08:11] <kinja-sheep> wolter: Still running the webcam under the lowest resolution?
[08:11] <koshar2> ﻿could anyone suggest a script that would delete all charactors on every line in a text file OTHER than the text between 2 differnt charactors?
[08:11] <mactimes> Flannel: Don't you?
[08:11] <pixelated> arieltav, and the file there called 'menu.lst' put into a pastebin
[08:11] <arieltav> pixelated: ps. thanks so much for doing this!:-D
[08:11] <the_gamer> arvind_khadri, i wish i could do it over the gui like i could before i installed kde
[08:11] <pZombie> omg, there exists a ton of openarena quake3 servers for linux and my acceleration works now !!!
[08:11] <Flannel> scientes: Without more information we can't say for sure.  Do you have mixed repositories?  That could be an issue with mixedv ersions of your repos.
[08:12] <kinja-sheep> IntuitiveNipple: Thanks. :)
[08:12] <arieltav> pixelated: how do i open it from the terminal
[08:12] <scientes> yes im trying to install a specific package from jaunty
[08:12] <pixelated> arieltav, i was a noob at one time too... (about 15 years ago, but still a noob at one time)
[08:12] <IntuitiveNipple> kinja-sheep: Ahhh... I just clicked... you're trying to use apt-get so you'd have to import the key into apt too... duh!
[08:12] <scientes> but nothing depends on it, and it relys on little
[08:12] <arvind_khadri> the_gamer: just a wild guess maybe things are getting lost in the D-bus... just a guess... its a long call.. try rebooting and see
[08:12] <wolter> kinja-sheep, also, my computer has a shorter 'leg', or rubber piece that acts as one
[08:12] <Flannel> scientes: You can't mix repositories like that, if you absolutely *have* to have that package, try backporting it for yourself with prevu
[08:12] <scientes> and instead up upgrading packages synaptic trys to uninstall them
[08:12] <Flannel> !prevu | scientes
[08:12] <Orchid`> how do i access Gpartition on UBuntu hardy heron, when ti not showing up in system tools?
[08:12] <pixelated> arieltav, 'gedit menu.lst'
[08:12] <wolter> kinja-sheep, so it can't 'stant' firm.
[08:12] <arieltav> pixelated: so how do i open the file from the terminal?
[08:13] <wolter> kinja-sheep, stand*
[08:13] <the_gamer> arvind_khadri, already rebooted, didn't change anything
[08:13] <wolter> kinja-sheep, and yes, still in low resolution, do you?
[08:13] <AnnonyMouse1> have query re LVM: have 2 specify primary partition.
[08:13] <AnnonyMouse1> options: aix, amiga, bsd, dvh, gpt, mac, msdos, pc98, sun, loop
[08:13] <AnnonyMouse1> what do I pick?
[08:13] <arvind_khadri> the_gamer: you cant see the button at all? try adding it...
[08:13] <AnnonyMouse1> the VG
[08:14] <arieltav> pixelated: ok, http://paste.ubuntu.com/113509/
[08:14] <scientes> ok ill just download and use dpkg then
[08:14] <Orchid`> how do i access Gpartition on UBuntu hardy heron, when its not showing up in system tools?
[08:14] <kinja-sheep> wolter: As I recall telling you this -- I don't use webcam + fingerprint.  I tossed the bad cheese out the window for the sky rats. :P
[08:14] <Flannel> mactimes: Being up to date won't really provide any benefit to installing things from a new repository, no.  And there's absolutely no reason to do an upgrade before a dist-upgrade, or an autoclean before a clean.
[08:14] <wolter> kinja-sheep, hahaha lol
[08:14] <the_gamer> arvind_khadri, i can see the button at the top right but i can only get into standby, log out or lock my screen there, reboot and shut down is missing, looks like i don't have the right to do it
[08:14] <^cheeky> hi. is there a way in ubuntu to find out if all my hardware(the inbuilt video card in my motherboard) is being utilized properly as in windows one would have to install the drivers. the reason been my screen resolution is 1024 X 768 (4:3)  and everything is  huge . would like to have it smaller
[08:14] <d3xter> Orchid`: maybe install it with synaptic?
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> ^cheeky: run lspci | grep -i vga
[08:15] <prince_jammys> Orchid`: you mean gparted ?
[08:15] <kinja-sheep> ^cheeky: You installed Ubuntu recently?
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> ^cheeky: it will show you what video card you have and you can websearcj it to see how its setup
[08:15] <wolter> kinja-sheep, how would you describe someone that walks strangely because one of his feet is shorter?
[08:15] <Orchid`> prince_jammys,  i used synatic to isntall it. wle the add/remove thing, it sjsut not showing up
[08:15] <arvind_khadri> the_gamer: thats a D-bus issue... i had faced it...it seems to be a bug.... you can report it... the way i came over it was re-installing...
[08:16] <prince_jammys> Orchid`: probably will appear in the menus as 'partition editor'
[08:16] <the_gamer> dammit -.-
[08:16] <kinja-sheep> wolter: A fake drunk?  I don't know.  That's issue with your laptop.  You can buy something rubber at your local Walmart.
[08:16] <Flannel> AnnonyMouse1: You need to format those partitions as 'lvm' type, then they're pvs, which you will add to a vg, separate out into logical volumes, and then partition those (as ext3, etc)
[08:16] <wolter> kinja-sheep, there is no local Walmart, thats the problem
[08:17] <arvind_khadri> the_gamer: i know...
[08:17] <^cheeky> ActionParsnip, ok i got it .. seems to rev 03 dunno if its updated
[08:17] <AnnonyMouse1> Flannel : thanx 4 the response
[08:17] <arieltav> pixelated: you still w/me?
[08:17] <IntuitiveNipple> kinja-sheep: As a note. to export a key from your personal keyring to apt, use this format (replace the key ID with the one to add to apt): "gpg  --export  60D11217247D1CFF | sudo apt-key add -" (note the final "-" which causes apt-key to accept input from stdin
[08:17] <the_gamer> arvind_khadri, how to change my login-manager from kdm back to gdm?
[08:17] <pixelated> arieltav, yes i am multitasking ;')
[08:17] <^cheeky> kinja-sheep, yeah i installed ubuntu 8.10. i just built this puter
[08:17] <kinja-sheep> wolter: Check your local RadioShack and/or computer stores.  Sure you can buy something small -- a rubber something.
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> ^cheeky: well off you go to websearch for the card, maybe you need extra options in xorg.conf or an extra package or two
[08:18] <arieltav> pixelated: i'm patient. especially when the service is free!:)
[08:18] <kinja-sheep> ^cheeky: Enable the restricted drivers + restricted hardware.  Etc.
[08:18] <kinja-sheep> ^cheeky: Update everything first.
[08:18] <arvind_khadri> the_gamer: you installed KDE on ubuntu right? so gdm is your login-manager still
[08:18] <AnnonyMouse1> Flannel :  I'm not that far in yet (defining sub-part's). I'm referring to the primary container.
[08:18] <AnnonyMouse1> gives me few options: aix, amiga, bsd, ...
[08:18] <kinja-sheep> ActionParsnip: He installed Ubuntu recently.  Everything is "default" -- This is why everything is so big for him. :P
[08:18] <pixelated> arieltav, i charge 1 sacrificial virgin per 4 hours ;')
[08:18] <arvind_khadri> the_gamer: are you by any chance talking of how to login into KDE?
[08:18] <^cheeky> kinja-sheep, there does not seem to have restricted drivers for me to install
[08:18] <the_gamer> arvind_khadri, yeah, i installed kde on ubuntu but when installing it asked me what login-manager to use... and now i dunno how to get gdm back
[08:19] <kinja-sheep> ^cheeky: Did you update everything already? "sudo aptitude update"
[08:19] <Flannel> AnnonyMouse1: You mean the physical volumes?
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> kinja-sheep: i know and im advising s/he looks up the card and how to set it up correctly
[08:19] <arieltav> pixelated: your system makes tipping complicated eh?
[08:19] <arieltav> lol
[08:19] <prince_jammys> the_gamer: change the line in the file /etc/X11/default-display-manager to 'gdm' and log back in
[08:19] <the_gamer> arvind_khadri, no, i know how to login into kde
[08:19] <the_gamer> prince_jammys, ty
[08:19] <^cheeky> kinja-sheep, i just ran sudo apt-get update // :S...
[08:19] <the_gamer> arvind_khadri, ty :)
[08:19] <arvind_khadri> oh ok :) never laid hands there :) the_gamer , prince_jammys
[08:20] <pixelated> arieltav, not really, i am married so i just use them to do things i dont want to, like clean my car, do the dishes, etc...
[08:20] <kinja-sheep> ^cheeky: That's fine... I prefer aptitude myself.  More power to you. :)
[08:20] <wolter> kinja-sheep, thanks, bye
[08:20] <prince_jammys> the_gamer: arvind_khadri : the "proper" way is probably with the update-alternatives command, but i forget how. what i said should work
[08:20] <AnnonyMouse1> Flannel : new HDD in new machine. disk in unpartitioned.
[08:20] <AnnonyMouse1> SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sdf) - 160.0 GB ATA ST....
[08:21] <AnnonyMouse1> Flannel : <enter>
[08:21] <lyrae_> oops. connection dropped
[08:21] <^cheeky> kinja-sheep, well i did it , and does not seem to do anything different ..
[08:21] <arvind_khadri> prince_jammys: brute force is cool sometimes ;)
[08:21] <AnnonyMouse1> Flannel : "create new empty part..." -> Y
[08:21] <Flannel> AnnonyMouse1: Create a single partition on that disk, with the type of 'lvm'; you're using the alternate CD, right?
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> ^cheeky: what does lsci | grep -i vga say you have?
[08:21] <Lou__> I need to format a blank usb drive to use ext3 file-system. Should I create a MS-Dos partition table? or?
[08:21] <raevol> https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/59586
[08:22] <ziroday> Lou__: ms-dos is fine
[08:22] <AnnonyMouse1> Flannel : LVM is not given as option . I'm installing from mini iso with a local LAN repository cache
[08:22] <arieltav> pixelated: you sound like my uncle... (he's the head of IT for Cesna aircraft, and taught me everything i know about computers... which contrary to this conversation is rather substantial, so long as the context is limited to Windows PCs and Cisco routers)
[08:22] <Lou__> ziroday, Thanks.
[08:22] <IntuitiveNipple> Lou__: Usually yes, a standard DOS partition table is required (many times a file-system-only install will cause problems later with some utils unable to detect it (they assume a partition table)
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> Lou__: no need if you are using ext3
[08:22] <AnnonyMouse1> Flannel : has "alternative" options dynamicall avail

[08:23] <namasamaran> ONE_BIASA
[08:23] <Flannel> AnnonyMouse1: Hmmm, I... was under the impression that the mini ISO is the same as the alternate one (except missing the packages).  LVM is the filesystem you want.  Is there an LVM item above the 'regular' partitioner menu?  Let me do some research re: mini iso
[08:23] <neil_d> using the 8.10 desktop CD, the aoetools module doesn't work, I get    aoe-discover: /dev/etherd/discover does not exist...    what is wrong?

[08:24] <pZombie> bah, enough of 9.04 - now i got gfx working, sounds starts skipping
[08:24] <kraut> moin
[08:24] <Lou__> ActionParsnip, Is MS-Dos partition needed for ext2?
[08:24] <dixonionthedemon> how do i install the driver for a logitech quickcam messenger, i got most of it figured out, but i am getting no feed from it all sorts of errors pop up
[08:24] <Flannel> pZombie: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support/discussion/etc thanks
[08:24] <arvind_khadri> pZombie: that should be #ubuntu+1
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> Lou__: no, ext3 and ext2 are nothing to do with dos
[08:24] <pZombie> not anymore
[08:24] <d3xter> i've got a little problem. sometimes my system-fan is working at max-speed, cpu is throttled to 1ghz and cpu-load goes up to nearly 100%, here is my dmesg: http://pastebin.com/f2df4703e

[08:24] <lyrae_> how do i add a new user/password to passwd?
[08:24] <ziroday> Lou__: ActionParsnip: are you talking about a parition table or a partition? As I believe the former you do need
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> Lou__: you will need to partition yje device to format it
[08:25] <ziroday> lyrae: useradd
[08:25] <arvind_khadri> pZombie: ok...
[08:25] <AnnonyMouse1> Flannel :  thnx. I use the mini, as it installs the most current bits & tailors install tightly 2 machine . choice of main, alternate, ubuntu, bubuntu, mythbuntu is then fairy arbitrary
[08:25] <arieltav> pixelated: why didn't i think of that before i became the designated volunteer pc repairman-head banger against bricks- for everyone i know!??
[08:25] <Lou__> ziroday,  partition table
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> ^cheeky: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowtoSetupExternalMonitorForIntel915
[08:25] <arieltav> pixelated: in spite of my patience, i think i'm going to go finnish my cigg. if you promise you'll still be here and helpful in 6 minutes?!
[08:25] <Flannel> AnnonyMouse1: You can do the same with the alternate CD, actually.  The only difference is that the alternate CD has (some) packages on the CD (and apparently also supports LVM)
[08:25] <pixelated> arieltav, because it sneaks up on you
[08:25] <ziroday> Lou__: well then as far as I know you need that, ActionParsnip is that so as you seem to be saying before that you didn't?
[08:25] <arieltav> pixelated: sure does.
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> ^cheeky: that gives some xorg.conf which you can browse and append parts you your xorg.conf
[08:25] <cattt> ??
[08:26] <ziroday> cattt: do you have a question we can help you with?
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> ^cheeky: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

[08:26] <Flannel> AnnonyMouse1: I don't see anything that indicates the mini iso shouldn't be able to install to LVM though.  But it is the partition type you're looking for.
[08:26] <IntuitiveNipple> Lou__: The 'standard' partition table used by Linux, DOS, Windows and others is called "MS-DOS" - just to confuse you :)
[08:26] <arieltav> pixelated: you had a chance to peek at that paste yet?
[08:26] <AnnonyMouse1> Flannel : yea
[08:26] <pixelated> arieltav, have been looking at it...
[08:26] <^cheeky> ActionParsnip, mine is a desktop , not a laptop
[08:27] <kang_> I am a freshman
[08:27] <Lou__> Ok. Thanks to all you guys.
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> ^cheeky: its an xorg.conf file, its the same layout
[08:27] <arieltav> pixelated: yaeeks.
[08:27] <AnnonyMouse1> Flannel : but I'm speaking 2 the guys @ the LVM grp. seems to be a fairly arb value initially
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> ziroday: you dont need an "msdos partition" it just needs partitioning in the standard way and formatting
[08:27] <pZombie> Flannel - which ubuntu distro works on laptops with the powermanagement turning off both fans of the radeon ati 9600 and pentium m chip? thanks
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> ^cheeky: those lines would work on an apple mac too
[08:27] <pixelated> arieltav, in the terminal type this 'vol_id /dev/sdb5' and check the UUID from the mneu.lst to make sure its right
[08:27] <ziroday> ActionParsnip: right, were talking about a partition _table_ here
[08:27] <AnnonyMouse1> Flannel : I'll try sum options & if it breaks, I'll know I'm doing something wrong
[08:28] <ActionParsnip> ^cheeky: you need to wrestle with xorg.conf til you get the desired display
[08:28] <ActionParsnip> ziroday: yes
[08:28] <arieltav> pixelated: /dev/sdb5: error opening volume
[08:28] <^cheeky> ActionParsnip, you think maybe i am using a converter as my motherboard only supports hdmi and dvi , and my crt only .. vga .. so i had to use a converter, might this be the cause.. i dont think so but just wondering
[08:29] <pixelated> arieltav, sry 'sudo vol_id /dev/sdb5'
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> ^cheeky: no...I'm saying you need to add lines about the resolution you want
[08:29] <d3xter> when will be the release of 2.6.29?

[08:30] <ziroday> d3xter: well its in rc3 so soon I presume
[08:30] <arvind_khadri> d3xter: #kernel will know
[08:30] <ziroday> d3xter: however it won't be in jaunty
[08:30] <arieltav> pixelated: i believe that's a match.
[08:31] <d3xter> ok thx :)
[08:31] <^cheeky> ActionParsnip, oh ok , because this what my xorg file looks like right now
[08:31] <pixelated> arieltav, yes it is... hmmm everything seems to be in order...
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> ^cheeky: use pastebin

[08:32] <arieltav> pixelated: i should note that i have redone the grub reinstall process listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub since lastime i rebooted, but i did that before too and it didn't seem to help.
[08:32] <prince_jammys> no, 1 is execute
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> Thisdude: i'd suggest 5 though to allow read and execute
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> prince_jammys: you is right

[08:34] <ziroday> dixon208: do lsmod | grep quickcam to see if the quickcam modules are running. Your camera should require that
[08:34] <nutmeg> is aplay one of the smallest (in terms of hard drive space) players, ActionParsnip ?

[08:36] <nutmeg> but how big is alsa stuffs?
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> nutmeg: alsa is currently making your soundcard work
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> nutmeg: so theres no additional install needed
[08:36] <nutmeg> so how do i get aplay?
[08:36] <nutmeg> oh. great

(not sure if it makes a difference or not) should I be using a 64 bit distro?  I ask because this laptop came with x86 ubuntu preinstalled from dell...

[08:48] <nate1> my wifi adapter worked out of the box but i tryed getting the drivers from aircrack to work and now i cant get on the internet so i want to go back to my defalt
[08:48] <dixon208> ziroday what is the terminal code to get it?
[08:48] <ziroday> epaul: okay, what have you got the audio input as?
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> ^cheeky: i think you need to just add an extra resolution to xorg.conf to tell it to use the higher resolution
[08:48] <ziroday> dixon208: sudo apt-get install cheese
[08:48] <epaul> head set
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> ^cheeky: can you please pastebin your xorg.conf
[08:48] <prince_jammys> apt-get install slice-of-pizza
[08:48] <dixon208> ziroday - E: Couldn't find package cheese
[08:48] <^cheeky> i dunno what higher res i would use . i though that would be pretty small and nice .. but its quite big
[08:49] <^cheeky> ActionParsnip, i did
[08:49] <ziroday> dixon208: you are using 8.10 right?
[08:49] <^cheeky> ActionParsnip, hold on
[08:49] <dixon208> yes
[08:49] <dixon208> ubuntu 8.10
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> ^cheeky: then choose one, if its widescreen it'll be 1200x1024
[08:49] <Dillizar> ActionParsnip, where i can find lsusb
[08:49] <ardchoille> dixon208: cheese is in universe

[08:49] <ActionParsnip> Dillizar: its a terminal command, just type it
[08:49] <ziroday> dixon208: then that app should be there, one sec
[08:49] <^cheeky> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.ca/1326978

[08:50] <ziroday> dixon208: okay try sudo apt-get install xawtv
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> [[thufir]]: if its not working in your browser though then its not fully done
[08:51] <Dillizar> ActionParsnip, yeah it found it now what
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> [[thufir]]: you may need to symlink a .so to your plugins dir
[08:51] <Goldy> OMG

[08:52] <fearful> hello everyone
[08:52] <Dillizar> ActionParsnip,  yeah Bus 005 Device 005: ID 0471:014b Philips
[08:52] <_-XPERT-_> anyone got any clue about syslogd
[08:52] <Goldy> no
[08:52] <Goldy> no questions :)
[08:52] <fearful> I have a question
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> Dillizar: ok cool
[08:52] <^cheeky> ActionParsnip, hmm ok ill have to come back to this i have class in 3 hours... and havent slept :/
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> Dillizar: does the partition show up in: sudo fdisk -l
[08:52] <ziroday> Goldy: chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[08:53] <ziroday> fearful: ask away
[08:53] <_-XPERT-_> anyone got any clue about syslogd
[08:53] <Goldy> :'(
[08:53] <Dillizar> no ActionParsnip and its 30gb
[08:53] <fearful> I can't use the following command: sudo chmod +r benjamin:benjamin-laptop /home/benjamin
[08:53] <^cheeky> ActionParsnip, thank you so much i think i know what i need to do but my xorg is soo lil ill back it up and add some of the stuff i might think i need and ill show it to you after class , thank you again
[08:53] <fearful> I just changed my home to a separate partition and it won't let me login
[08:53] <Gumby> is there something other than top that will show me system wide memory usage?  I'm using ubuntu as a mythtv backend and when I boot up, the system uses around 250mb of 1.5GB of memory and 0 swap but then slowly the memory usage creeps up to 1.4GB
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> Dillizar: doesnt matter how big, does it show up in the fdisk output?
[08:53] <ziroday> dixon208: specifically the last link to make sure you have universe ticked
[08:53] <Dillizar> no
[08:53] <Dillizar> ActionParsnip, no
[08:53] <_-XPERT-_> anyone got any clue about syslogd
[08:54] <[[thufir]]> how do I find out what/which file, a .so?, to link to my java plugin directory?  (thanks for helping me find the question, actionparsnip, I think that may lead to a solution)
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> Dillizar: then i'd websearch for that ID that you gave, it may turn up some gold
[08:54] <Dillizar> hahaha ActionParsnip  ok thanks
[08:54] <dayo_> fearful: your usergroup is benjamin-laptop? not benjamin? u sure benjamin-laptop is not just your hostname
[08:54] <Dillizar> :D
[08:54] <robson> after compiling alsa what do i have to do to make it useable?
[08:55] <fearful> I tried doing benjamin:benjamin too
[08:55] <ActionParsnip> [[thufir]]: you need to find whatever .so is used by firefox and make a symlink in your plugins folder. I always use ~/.mozilla/plugins
[08:55] <fearful> and no luck
[08:55] <_-XPERT-_> no one has any syslogd clue?
[08:55] <fearful> It says the directory doesn't exist.
[08:55] <dayo_> fearful: what does the error say? also do this: vim /etc/passwd
[08:55] <ActionParsnip> [[thufir]]: the plugins directory doesnt exist by default, it has to be made
[08:55] <ziroday> fearful: are you on the same machine as the file you want to change permissions of?
[08:55] <dayo_> fearful: then look for the user benjamin and see what group you're in
[08:55] <fearful> Yea in the live CD because I can't loging
[08:56] <SmokeyD> anyone knows if there a any issues running apparmor on hardy server as a xen guest (DomU)?
[08:56] <[[thufir]]> ActionParsnip: thanks
[08:56] <fearful> Anyway I can check form the live CD?
[08:56] <ziroday> fearful: well you have to mount that partition, it should be a matter of clicking that drive
[08:56] <_-XPERT-_> anyone got any clue about syslogd
[08:57] <fearful> Mount my new home, or where ubuntu is installed?
[08:57] <dayo_> brb
[08:57] <ziroday> fearful: your new home
[08:57] <prince_jammys> aren't you trying to change ownership with chmod instead of chown?
[08:58] <nate1> is there somthing easier to use then aircrack to break wep and wpa encriptions?
[08:58] <fearful> Well yes that's one issue I shall try, I also noticed that my new home is /home/ubuntu, anyway I can make it /home/benjamin again?
[08:59] <robson> i compiled alsa and have a module for sound at /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver/modules/snd-hda-intel.ko. now what?
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> robson: read the readme with the source code
[09:00] <rainabba> I'm trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 in VMWare Workstation 6.5 and it appears to have hung at "Preparing libsmbios1". I want to say that I've seen something like this in the past also. Anyone familiar with this problem?
[09:01] <ActionParsnip> rainabba: did you md5 check your iso file after download?
[09:01] <fearful> I will try and get back thanks
[09:01] <Kuyaviya> O_O
[09:02] <Kuyaviya> o___o
[09:03] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | rainabba
[09:03] <ActionParsnip> rainabba: what distro cd have you downloaded??
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> oh well
[09:07] <robson> i can't find any install documentation in the source
[09:07] <robson> nevermind
[09:08] <pZombie> what is the oldest ubuntu distro supported still ?
[09:08] <d3xter> 8.04
[09:08] <pZombie> ouch
[09:08] <robson> ActionParsnip: looks like all i have to do is modprobe at this point, but that is hanging. i had it working before, btw, but either alsa or fglrx was causing ubuntu to hang on boot so i uninstalled alsa
[09:08] <d3xter> on desktop
[09:09] <d3xter> as desktop-edition
[09:09] <d3xter> 6.06 is still supported as server-edition
[09:10] <fearful> Ok I'm half way there, I just need to know how to change, home/ubuntu to /home/benjamin
[09:11] <dixon208> ok
[09:11] <dixon208> ziroday ty my cam works now

[09:12] <dixon208> brb
[09:12] <niere> hi
[09:13] <wemdowemd> Can I install ubuntu on an external hard-drive, including MBR, bootloader etc.? I don't want anything on my laptop's internal hard-drive changed save for the BIOS (so it knows to look for the external on startup
[09:13] <niere> anyone here running his own [complex] repository, and using priority pinning with it?
[09:13] <fearful> so how can i change the name?
[09:13] <[[thufir]]> too bad actionparsenip left, I just got java working and wanted to thank him.  oh well.  (I re-installed the plugin)
[09:14] <pZombie> wemdowemd - is it a usb external?
[09:14] <wemdowemd> Yes
[09:15] <fearful> I'm trying to change the home folder's name I currently have /home/ubuntu and I want it /home/benjamin I'm on the live CD because I can't login any suggestions?
[09:15] <wemdowemd> pZombie: Yes
[09:15] <pZombie> wemdowemd - in theory you can... if you manage to write the bootloader and your bios supports booting of USB, it just boots like any other drive
[09:15] <pZombie> wemdowemd worst case scenario, you pull the drive out :D and insert it into your pc internaly, then put it back into your usb case
[09:16] <crekarasu> hi, i want to encrypt a password but i don`t know the command ... please help me !
[09:16] <prince_jammys> fearful: how come you can't log in?
[09:16] <pZombie> wemdowemd - does this drive except of USB have any other conncetors?
[09:16] <wemdowemd> pZombie: Yes, but the firewire connection has been giving me some problems recently so I don't use it.
[09:17] <crekarasu> hi, i want to encrypt a password but i don`t know the command ... please help me !
[09:17] <pZombie> wemdowemd - firewire was the only way i was able to write a bootblock on my old maxtor onetouch. usb wouldnt work
[09:17] <pZombie> wemdowemd then later i just switched back to usb for booting
[09:18] <hap> hi. I installed ubuntu-8.10-mid-lpia on my eeepc 701 but wifi does not work and the UI is very ugly, is there a better thing i could install on that eeepc (and I m currently in burkina so internet is slow as hell, a way to just upgrade specific packages would be welcome)
[09:18] <wemdowemd> pZombie: I see. Couldn't I theoretically use that 'GRUB on a disc' package you can get to boot from CD, with the filesystem on the external?
[09:18] <fearful> Because I cahnged the home folder to a seperate partition and having $HOME errors.
[09:19] <pZombie> wemdowemd - in theory yes, but i have never tried that
[09:19] <wemdowemd> OK, thanks. I'll do some reading.

[09:41] <VirtualHunter> Evening all, anyone run Compiz with an ATI X1300 and experience grainy rendering? Just curious if its to do with the cards capacity or a bad driver?
[09:41] <TunNetwork> it needs some bases like glib, gtk
[09:41] <pZombie> robson nice too, checking it out
[09:41] <ziroday> VirtualHunter: you running the closed or open source drivers?
[09:42] <robson> pZombie: wish i could try it... won't run on my system for some odd reason
[09:42] <TunNetwork> how can i use more than 1 version of gtk or how can i disable 1 and activate other without erasing
[09:42] <arvind_khadri> robson: you can't remove it actually as some other packages depend on it
[09:42] <robson> arvind_khadri: what would? i've apt-get removed it but that wasn't enough
[09:42] <pZombie> robson - if it is 8.10 or 9.04 i wouldnt be suprised....
[09:43] <pZombie> anyway, the tool has no powermanagement
[09:43] <arvind_khadri> robson: didn't you get any warning messages?
[09:43] <VirtualHunter> ziroday: Thanks (like the name), I'm running which ever work when you enable restricted driver in Ubuntu 8.04
[09:44] <crdlb> TunNetwork: there are only two incomatible versions of gtk: gtk1 and gtk2. any program designed for an older version of gtk2 will work with the latest
[09:44] <ziroday> VirtualHunter: okay, thanks :). Those would be the restriced drivers.
[09:44] <TunNetwork> ziroday can we meet in pv ?
[09:44] <anglxs> hak5fan: thnx mate, I was trying to run the setup of the whole suite not photoshop :)
[09:44] <ziroday> TunNetwork: no.
[09:44] <TunNetwork> ok
[09:44] <ziroday> !pm > TunNetwork
[09:45] <ziroday> VirtualHunter: you might want to try the open source drivers you _might_ get better performance

[09:45] <Some_Herbert> Hi, I've just started with Ubuntu. Downloaded the Live CD and installed it. Now when I select Ubuntu from the boot options it starts to load and then I just get a black screen and the caps lock and scroll lock just flash at me. I then have to power down manually. Any suggestions please?
[09:46] <TunNetwork> thnx ubottu
[09:46] <TunNetwork> ok
[09:46] <nate2> need help
[09:46] <nate2> http://pastebin.com/m3277a3c6
[09:46] <TunNetwork> is it simple to disable gtk 2.14 and setup 2.17
[09:47] <robson> MTA takes a long time to start when i'm booting up. anyone know why?
[09:47] <arvind_khadri> nate2: whats the problem?\
[09:47] <hak5fan> anglxs, ok which version are you trying to run?
[09:47] <nate2> it wont compile right
[09:48] <nate2> and i dont know why
[09:48] <crdlb> TunNetwork: there is no gtk 2.17
[09:48] <TunNetwork> ziroday the problem is i use some progs that need 2.14
[09:48] <arvind_khadri> nate2: state your problem here... no one is going to look into the paste...
[09:48] <VirtualHunter> ziroday: Thanks
[09:48] <arvind_khadri> nate2: and state in a single line, if possible...
[09:49] <crdlb> TunNetwork: gtk 2.x is fully ABI/ABI stable, which means that you can upgrade it and apps using it should continue to work
[09:49] <anglxs> CS2, the problem i got now is that: You are not allowed to continue because your account does not have the proper priviledges. Please login with an admin. account...
[09:49] <crdlb> TunNetwork: what exactly are you trying to install?
[09:49] <anglxs> hak5fan:  I have only 1 admin account the one I am running at the moment :S
[09:50] <nate2> im trying to make drivers for my usb device and i followed the guide and it says that if i got the problem i got that i needed to delete all the patch files and install a fresh verison of my kernel and i have no idea what that means or how to do it
[09:51] <doktor> can i have a link to a website fo to learn the most important bash command a time for all please?
[09:51] <arvind_khadri> nate2: which device?

[09:52] <nate2> arvind_khadri: yes
[09:53] <Some_Herbert> anyone?
[09:53] <arvind_khadri> nate2: what does dmesg | tail spit when you insert the device...
[09:53] <niere> any idea why my Release index file of a local ("complex") repository is being ignored? it's downloaded, apt-get update says "hit", but there's no corresponding /var/lib/apt/lists/...-Release, and apt-cache policy doesn't show the release info (only an origin line)
[09:53] <arvind_khadri> nate2: paste its out

[09:55] <Some_Herbert> ubottu - I have no idea what you're talking about
[09:55] <doktor> thanks
[09:55] <Some_Herbert> tuna - the disk seems fine
[09:55] <nate2> http://pastebin.com/m501865ef arvind_khadri
[09:55] <tuna-fish> Some_Herbert: but did you test it with the included "check disk for defects" tool?
[09:56] <Some_Herbert> I read that you're supposed to be able to press F6 after choosing Ubuntu from the boot menu to get boot options, but that did nothing
[09:56] <Some_Herbert> tf - I don't recall
[09:56] <niere> arvind_khadri: what should be numbered? i'm not talking about the pinning; my problem is that my own Release file is being ignored (so e.g. i cannot use release o=... for my pins)
[09:56] <tuna-fish> Some_Herbert: if there are errors in some of the files that are supposed to be copied to the disk, it might result in a broken installation even if the disk seemed to work fine
[09:57] <Some_Herbert> tf - thanks, I'll check that
[09:57] <niere> hm, well, gone he is
[09:57] <niere> anyone else with some ideas? :)
[09:57] <AdvoWork> hi there, ive got about 20 machines on my network, im trying to find which machine name has the ip .158  is there a command i can use to find the pc name?
[09:57] <tuna-fish> Some_Herbert: I managed to burn 2 coasters recently and nearly tore my hair out trying to figure out why the machine didn't work :D
[09:58] <Some_Herbert> tf - I'll give it a go
[09:59] <arvind_khadri> nate2: got disconnected sorry... seems like your device isnt being recognized...whats the output of lsusb... and ya which ubuntu?
[09:59] <niere> arvind_khadri: i'm not talking about the pinning (and the version numbers of my packages); my problem is that my own Release file is being ignored (so e.g. i cannot use release o=... for my pins)
[09:59] <blackkilt> hello
[10:00] <arvind_khadri> niere: no idea sorry .. :|
[10:00] <timahvo1> AdvoWork: can install nmap and try doing sudo nmap -sP <ip range> or something like that
[10:00] <niere> arvind_khadri: ok, thx anyway :)
[10:00] <nate2> i disabled it it was part of the instructions ifup wlan1 down and im using ubuntu 8.10 32 bit
[10:01] <blackkilt> Hello room
[10:01] <arvind_khadri> nate2: which is the tutorial you are following? can i have that link?
[10:01] <arvind_khadri> !hi | blackkilt
[10:02] <blackkilt> Thanks.  arvind and ubottu
[10:02] <blackkilt> I am new to the Linux world and new to Ubuntu
[10:02] <Ekips> I don't think ifup takes "down" as an argument?
[10:02] <arvind_khadri> blackkilt: he is just a bot :)
[10:02] <blackkilt> oh
[10:02] <nate2> arvind_khadri: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=r8187#blacklisting_mac80211_driver_version
[10:02] <scientes_> how can i convince synaptic that packages that are broken are actually not broken
[10:03] <scientes_> it makes everything not like to work
[10:03] <blackkilt> sorry a little rusty on the chat rooms haven't been in a chat room in 11 years.
[10:03] <arvind_khadri> nate2: mind telling me the device name again
[10:03] <arvind_khadri> !wifi | nate2
[10:03] <nate2> enuwi-g2  chipset is rtl8187
[10:04] <blackkilt> I don't know if I am going to start messing with the command line just yet.  Last time I did that I crashed my OS.
[10:04] <jk7> Does anyone knows why does i cant ifdown ppp interface.  An error message is ""ifdown: interface ppp0 not configured?
[10:05] <blackkilt> Sorry jk7 I am new to Linux not going to be much help.
[10:06] <arvind_khadri> nate2: a better way to go around, do you have the device's cd with you?
[10:06] <nate2> yea
[10:06] <osfameron> jk7: I think it's because nm-applet messes with your interfaces and doesn't let you tweak them the normal way.  Never worked out how/why though
[10:07] <arvind_khadri> nate2: then why didnt you try the ndiswrapper way
[10:07] <nate2> arvind_khadri:  im doing this install to be able to use aircrack
[10:07] <mohshami> hey guys, I'm trying to use cpio to copy a 4GB sparse file, but it's complaining the file is too big, am I missing something?
[10:07] <nate2> in the guide that i was using it tells me how to fix the problem i just dont understand it
[10:07] <timahvo1> jk7: do you have ppp0 in /etc/networking/interfaces ?
[10:08] <soreau> !intrepid
[10:09] <nate2> arvind_khadri: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=r8187#blacklisting_mac80211_driver_version passed 3 argument is the problem and i just dont undertand on how to fix it
[10:09] <timahvo1> network* sorry
[10:09] <sagredo> Hi... super weird error, when I try to /server irc.freenode.net
[10:10] <McDaToKe> ^1
[10:10] <arvind_khadri> nate2: if you scroll down you can how to do it..
[10:10] <sagredo> I encounter this: 02:10 -!- Irssi: Unable to connect server irc.freenode.net port 6667 [Cannot  assign requested address: 208.113.233.166]
[10:10] <blackkilt> Quickest way to learn to pay attention with Linux is crash the OS and have to reinstall everything.  Boy will I watch what I do from now on.
[10:10] <sagredo> Can anyone help me get irssi working again?
[10:11] <arvind_khadri> nate2: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[10:11] <arvind_khadri> blackkilt: its not so easy to crack it
[10:12] <nate2> arvind_khadri:  already have the newest version
[10:12] <blackkilt> Not talking about cracking the OS I crashed the damn thing.
[10:13] <arvind_khadri> blackkilt: crashed what ?
[10:13] <arvind_khadri> nate2: do you have build-essential , libc6 ?
[10:13] <arvind_khadri> !complie | nate2
[10:13] <blackkilt> SuSe Linux
[10:13] <AdvoWork> timahvo1, tried that, just says the ip is up, thats it, any other ideas?
[10:13] <arvind_khadri> !compile | nate2
[10:14] <sagredo> I encounter this: What if you had to pay for every letter that you received thru the postal service or every package you received by UPS, while the person who sent them to you also
[10:14] <sagredo> I encounter this: 02:10 -!- Irssi: Unable to connect server irc.freenode.net port 6667 [Cannot  assign requested address: 208.113.233.166]
[10:14] <sagredo> Can anyone help me get irssi working again?
[10:14] <arvind_khadri> nate2: why do you want to compile when aircrack-ng is in the repo???
[10:15] <nate2> arvind_khadri:  everything is all up to date
[10:15] <arvind_khadri> nate2: assuming thats what you want
[10:15] <timahvo1> AdvoWork: beats me, I would make sure I have /etc/network/interfaces right then restart networking and see what it tells you
[10:15] <nate2> arvind_khadri: mydrivers dont support packet injection so i am pretty sure i need to compile my own correct?
[10:15] <timahvo1> AdvoWork: ther than that can't be of more help
[10:16] <dth> arvind_khadri: you would more likely have to find drivers that support packet injection and compile / install those.
[10:16] <arvind_khadri> nate2: ya...find drivers which support packet injection
[10:16] <arvind_khadri> dth: to nate2 not me :)
[10:16] <nate2> arvind_khadri: thats what im doing lol
[10:16] <doktor> sagredo: http://freshmeat.net/projects/irssi/
[10:16] <Fractured> nothing beats powerpoint on windows
[10:17] <dth> ok, i got you both mixed up ;)
[10:17] <dth> pardon me ;)
[10:17] <arvind_khadri> nate2: what error do you exactly get ? paste it
[10:18] <nate2> the error i orginaly got? this one http://pastebin.com/m3277a3c6 arvind_khadri
[10:19] <negge> could someone help me out a bit with getting VNC to work? I have a computer to which I need to be able to connect with VNC. I've configured Vino to allow connections etc. and opened up port 5900 in UFW but I still can't connect. I have previously used X11 forwarding, could this be causing issues?
[10:20] <dth> negge: X11 forwarding doesnt interfere with VNC at all. Could it be possible that you allowed only local connections in your vino settings?
[10:20] <sagredo> doktor: I'm looking for an immediate solution
[10:20] <negge> dth: dth the computers I'm connecting from are all on the same LAN so that should matter.
[10:20] <robson> i had sound working earlier today but now it's broken (alsa). i compiled alsa myself from alsa-source. modprobe snd-hda-intel segfaults
[10:21] <negge> I tried both with and without checking the "allow internal connections only" checkbox
[10:21] <negge> dth: when I run "sudo /usr/lib/vino/vino-server restart" I get this: (vino-server:20669): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: localhost:10.0
[10:22] <doktor> i hope you can find the right thing
[10:22] <Ekips> Hm, xhost +?
[10:22] <dth> negge: ok, that tells is that youre probably running as DISPLAY 10, thus when connecting you would have to use hostname:10 as "target" plus .. add port 5900 + 10 in the firewall.
[10:22] <negge> dth: I'll try that
[10:23] <negge> dth: I've temporarily disabled the firewall and tried to connect with <ipaddress>:10 but it still won't work. I've tried with both TightVNC and UltraVNC
[10:24] <nate2> i need help the guy helping me got disconnected
[10:25] <doktor> lol i'm sorry nate
[10:25] <Ekips> negge: Tried xhost +?
[10:25] <nate2> can you help me with my compiling error doktor
[10:25] <negge> Ekips: should I just run that or what?
[10:26] <negge> Ekips:  xhost:  unable to open display "localhost:10.0"
[10:26] <dth> negge: what does netstat -al --numeric-ports|grep :59 show you?
[10:26] <doktor> nate2: i think no...
[10:26] <dth> negge: and please give me the output of echo $DISPLAY
[10:26] <nate2> lol thanks anyways man doktor
[10:26] <negge> dth: it gives me one line saying it's listening
[10:26] <doktor> :)
[10:27] <negge> dth: echo $DISPLAY gives me localhost:10.0
[10:27] <negge> I think it's set to 10 because in sshd_config I have set X11DisplayOffset to 10 (can't remember why)
[10:27] <dth> negge: and on what specific port is vino now listening to?
[10:28] <nate2> how do i delete all patch files and install a fresh version of my kernel
[10:28] <anglxs> i have a problem with streaming video etc someone can pm me?
[10:28] <negge> dth: netstat -tap tells me it's listening on 5900
[10:28] <doktor> anglxs: with what browser?
[10:29] <anglxs> firefo
[10:29] <anglxs> firefox
[10:29] <doktor> *sorry for my english men lol
[10:29] <negge> dth: I got it! Just had to change the port in vino to 5910
[10:29] <dth> negge: ok.
[10:29] <negge> I thought it would somehow be smart enough to listen on the correct ports...
[10:30] <arvind_khadri> nate2, you there?
[10:30] <nate2> arvind_khadri: your back yay
[10:30] <nate2> lol
[10:30] <arvind_khadri> nate2, send me the paste again :)
[10:30] <nate2> -_-
[10:31] <doktor> anglxs: have you installed Adobe Flash Player plugin for firefox?
[10:31] <nate2> arvind_khadri: http://pastebin.com/m3277a3c6
[10:31] <arvind_khadri> nate2, i lost it ... i was on windows...and it was crashing FF whenever i opened paste.ubuntu.com ...
[10:31] <anglxs> yes, I think i have installed loads of players tho so they conflict somehow, imo
[10:32] <negge> dth: thanks for your help by the way
[10:32] <arvind_khadri> nate2, the tutorial too... does the tutorial ask you to run any other script before sudo make??
[10:32] <nate2> arvind_khadri: yea patch -Np1 -i rtl8187_2.6.24v3.patch then make then make install
[10:32] <rbowes> Morning all
[10:33] <rbowes> Can anyone help with Canon MP160 printer installation on Intrepid x86_64 ?
[10:33] <arvind_khadri> nate2, does the patch work perfectly?
[10:33] <abyss_> lo everyone! i  installed apache2 and php5mod awell as php5 mysql and phpmyadmin but it seems that php is not working!
[10:34] <arvind_khadri> nate2, the patch seems to be for a older kernel...
[10:34] <nate2> i didnt get any errors or warning the only one is the one we are diagnosing arvind_khadri
[10:34] <doktor> anglxs: have you the latest ver. of FF, the 3.0?
[10:34] <abyss_> i already did : sudo a2enmod php5 but no success
[10:34] <anglxs> yes
[10:34] <dth> negge: youre welcoe
[10:34] <doktor> f**k...
[10:34] <arvind_khadri> nate2, the tutorial seems to be speaking about ubuntu 7.10 ...
[10:34] <abyss_> it says php5 already enabled
[10:34] <anglxs> it might be the case that pulseaudio is causing all this mess?
[10:35] <arvind_khadri> nate2, that tutorial wont work... you need to find something else... sorry to say this
[10:35] <nate2> arvind_khadri: that really sucks thanks
[10:35] <anglxs> doktor:  I dont have sound in youtube and streaming video is not loading
[10:35] <arvind_khadri> !language | doktor
[10:35] <doktor> i'm sorry arvinf_khadri
[10:35] <arvind_khadri> nate2, when googling mention your ubuntu name and kernel number too... it might help ...
[10:36] <fazlur> ubottu .... just kick off him from this channel
[10:36] <fazlur> :)
[10:36] <anglxs> do you guys recommend having pulseaudio or should i remove it completely
[10:36] <Ekips> nate2: It's broken for the current kernel it seems
[10:36] <fazlur> anglxs:pluse audio has some bugs on some h/w s
[10:37] <fw1> i am looking for something to draw network diagrams with, would would people suggest?
[10:37] <negge> what's the name of the package that contains the GNOME theme that Debian uses by default (the light-blueish you know)?
[10:38] <Out1ander> what's the best tool under linux to convert vob files to xvid?
[10:38] <rakudave> anglxs:  i did remove it completely, it's no big deal, just "sudo aptitude purge pulseaudio"
[10:38] <nate2> arvind_khadri: this would be what i want http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-963923.html
[10:38] <dth> Out1ander: dvd::rip is doing a very nice job.
[10:38] <Out1ander> so i have existing vob files not a dvd
[10:39] <rakudave> Out1ander: Use AcidRip or dvd::rip in the repos
[10:39] <dth> Out1ander: dvd::rip can also take a VIDEO_TS directory and work with the VOB files there, they dont have to be on a DVD.
[10:39] <arvind_khadri> fw1, ever heard of nctuns?
[10:39] <Out1ander> ah me see "choose dvd image directory"
[10:39] <fw1> arvind_khadri, nope but i have now
[10:40] <arvind_khadri> fw1, thats used for what you said... but not in the repo's
[10:41] <arvind_khadri> nate2, try it out ...
[10:41] <redspike> hi, anyone have get DirectJET printer to work frmo ubuntu? i can add the printer but not print to it from ubuntu, if ill telnet to teh print server on port 9100 and type text in the telnetr session the printer prints it out.
[10:41] <Out1ander> ok told dvd::rip where the vobs are and it's cool with that, but can't start the encode
[10:41] <arvind_khadri> nate2, are you on 32 bit?
[10:41] <redspike> i get cannot connect to printer from printer admin tool when ill try to print out a test page
[10:41] <Out1ander> I think it wants to read the DVD table of contents
[10:41] <Out1ander> which it cant do
[10:43] <Out1ander> ok I set it to not "encode on the fly" and now it can read the table of contents, success
[10:44] <abyss_> anyone can help me get php5 work with apache2? i installed all needed packages and the apache2 works but phpfiles are unknown and give it to me for download!
[10:44] <the-erm> is there a way to get an sd card to auto mount *without* the gui running?
[10:44] <abyss_> i already did : sudo a2enmod php5 but no success
[10:44] <abyss_> it says php5 already enabled
[10:45] <miha> absyss libapache2-mod-php5
[10:45] <miha> did you install this too
[10:45] <miha> that's module for apache to use php
[10:45] <abyss_> yes
[10:45] <TIV> just got done watching hackers with angelina jolie
[10:45] <the-erm> abyss_: usually sudo apt-get install php5  will install everything you need.
[10:45] <TIV> love that movie
[10:45] <arvind_khadri> the-erm, it does auto mount i guess.... sudo fdisk -l after you place it in
[10:45] <the-erm> arvind_khadri: thanks I'll try that.
[10:46] <IntuitiveNipple> abyss_: Which threading model worker is apache2 using? one of them (the default in Ubuntu packages) is incompatible with the php apache module (or was last time I had to deal with it)
[10:46] <ikonia> TIV: chat about it in #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:47] <shauno> the-erm: http://www.debianhelp.org/node/9937  should be pretty helpful.  short version, you want to add rules to hald
[10:47] <TIV> does anyone know any good books for learning about the linux kernel
[10:47] <TIV> does anyone know any good books for learning about the linux kernel
[10:48] <the-erm> Shanixthanks I'll lok into it.
[10:48] <IntuitiveNipple> TIV: Depends on how deep you want to go
[10:48] <TIV> deep
[10:48] <TIV> deep
[10:48] <arvind_khadri> TIV, you can find a lot of documentation at tldp.org
[10:49] <pZombie>  you can get a full screen preview of all 4(or more) desktops with compiz?
[10:49] <IntuitiveNipple> TIV: In that case you'll want the source-code since the kernel is a moving target. As soon as a book is published it will be out of date. In the kernel source the ./Documentation/ directory contains a lot of details
[10:49] <richy> pZombie : super + e
[10:49] <pZombie> ^^
[10:49] <pZombie> uh, nice
[10:49] <richy> pZombie: never mind thats expose prob not wat u want
[10:50] <pZombie> btw, 8.04 is full of love <3
[10:50] <TIV> arvind_khadri: thats the linux document page right
[10:50] <arvind_khadri> TIV, yup ...
[10:50] <ukmuk> i have a strange behave on my ubuntu samba server
[10:50] <ukmuk> i use different passwords for the ssh login and the samba login
[10:50] <ukmuk> but when is login with ssh the samba password is reset to the ssh login password
[10:50] <pZombie> i got all working at last with aticonfig --set-powerstate=1 - now my lappy has no fan spinning
[10:51] <ukmuk> or in other words
[10:51] <TIV> arvind_khadri: cool thanks
[10:51] <ukmuk> I'm able to connect shares on the Samba server without
[10:51] <ukmuk> problem until I login as the linux user with SSH
[10:51] <O__o> my laptop doesnt even a fan :)
[10:51] <ukmuk> After that the password of the Samba user has been reset to the one of the linux user.
[10:51] <magooo> can anyone helpme with samba??
[10:51] <richy> magooo:specific?
[10:51] <pZombie> O__o; this must be a stoneage laptop :D
[10:51] <arvind_khadri> TIV, welcome :)
[10:52] <O__o> not stoneage
[10:52] <O__o> bought it 2 months ago
[10:52] <magooo> how to auto-share when starting up system?
[10:52] <IntuitiveNipple> ukmuk: Are you using the same username for the log-ins? It sounds like something on the local client is caching the username/password combinations for all remote connections
[10:52] <miha> ukmuk well samba can either use linux password db or its own
[10:52] <miha> ukmuk it's configuration option
[10:52] <pZombie> O__o: does it have a 3d capable card?
[10:52] <O__o> no
[10:52] <O__o> it is a netbook
[10:53] <pZombie> ah ok then
[10:53] <O__o> i dont know if it does 3d or not
[10:53] <ukmuk> IntuitiveNipple: yes the same username
[10:53] <O__o> but can install compiz
[10:53] <TIV> arvind_khadri: what about a good programing lang to learn
[10:53] <miha> compiz isnt exactly 3d :)
[10:53] <IntuitiveNipple> ukmuk: Or, do you mean the samba server has actually changed the password it requires to the same password used by ssh (the user's UNIX account password) ?
[10:53] <O__o> it can install any os throw into
[10:53] <miha> it just needs composite extension
[10:53] <magooo> richy: how to auto-share when starting up system?
[10:53] <O__o> ubuntu, winxp, osx, etc ...
[10:53] <arvind_khadri> TIV, which in particular...
[10:53] <TIV> arvind_khadri: im knew to linux
[10:54] <OltreIrc`40213> ciao
[10:54] <ukmuk> miha: is this set in the samba conf file?
[10:54] <IntuitiveNipple> ukmuk: How are you doing the shh connection? From a gnome-terminal or xterminal session?
[10:54] <OltreIrc`40213> !list
[10:54] <arvind_khadri> TIV, all the programming languages have their own powers and faults too...
[10:54] <TIV> arvind_khadri: dont know this would be my first
[10:54] <abyss_> the-erm, php5 ist schon die neueste Version.
[10:54] <Caesi> Hi, does anyone know why openoffice tries to recover documents everytime I start it?
[10:54] <Boohbah_> TIV: x86 assembly
[10:55] <abyss_> the-erm, thats what apt-get says
[10:55] <miha> ukmuk my samba config says: # "security = user" is always a good idea. This will require a Unix account # in this server for every user accessing the server. See # /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/Samba3-HOWTO/ServerType.html # in the samba-doc package for details.
[10:55] <arvind_khadri> TIV, there are lots... C,C++,python, ruby.... python and C are in
[10:56] <abyss_> IntuitiveNipple, what you mean?
[10:56] <TIV> arvind_khadri: k i will look into it
[10:57] <ukmuk> IntuitiveNipple: from another windows computer via putty for example
[10:57] <scientes> why does xulrunner 1.9.1 depend on asound?
[10:58] <miha> ukmuk: i dont use that option, and it seems to me, you dont like it either
[10:58] <miha> ukmuk: just guessing:)
[10:59] <IntuitiveNipple> ukmuk: Hmmm, so the problem with the ssh/SMB connections is when doing them *from* a Windows OS?
[10:59] <ukmuk> IntuitiveNipple: no ether windows with putty or linux with ssh
[11:00] <gastly> hi all, can anyone recommend a good NES emulator?
[11:00] <ukmuk> maybe i found the issue in the smb.conf
[11:00] <rakudave> gastly: zsnes
[11:00] <Ekips> gastly: zsnes
[11:00] <cobra-the-joker> Hey there Guys
[11:00] <gastly> cool, thanks rakudave and Ekips :)
[11:00] <ukmuk> there is an option called unix password sync
[11:01] <ukmuk> and it was set to yes
[11:01] <IntuitiveNipple> ukmuk: Hmmm, so the issue is that the samba server appears to *change* the acceptable password *after* an ssh client log-in ?
[11:01] <ba2> ggg
[11:01] <ukmuk> IntuitiveNipple: right
[11:01] <Harvey> Hi room. Does anyone know whether the Dell 1397 Wireless-G Card is compatible with 8.10 ? I about to buy a new laptop from Dell. Or where I can find out ?
[11:02] <arvind_khadri> !hardware | Harvey
[11:02] <IntuitiveNipple> ukmuk: The password sync is usual to prevent stale password issues
[11:02] <Harvey> oh thanks ubottu, really helpful
[11:03] <IntuitiveNipple> ukmuk: Is the issue triggered immediately upon the ssh client log-in?
[11:03] <ukmuk> IntuitiveNipple: yes
[11:04] <cobra-the-joker> can i use ubuntu as programming platform ??
[11:04] <ikonia> cobra-the-joker: yup
[11:05] <arvind_khadri> cobra-the-joker, thats a very weird nick...
[11:05] <ukmuk> the way is like this: i have a user called john and lets sey the linux password is "12345" and i use smbpasswd john to set the samba password to "abcde"
[11:05] <rakudave> cobra-the-joker: it's the best there is ^^
[11:05] <cobra-the-joker> lol
[11:05] <cobra-the-joker> coz i need some OS to be stable and @ same time Helpfull and functional
[11:05] <Zalan88> guys, my ubuntu can't connect via wireless in a AD-HOC web with my sister's PC... Its something about the autentication.
[11:05] <IntuitiveNipple> ukmuk: I like these kind of examples
[11:05] <ukmuk> now i login with samba and use "abcde" as his password, everything is fine
[11:05] <rakudave> cobra-the-joker: dev-env I mean
[11:05] <cobra-the-joker> i use fedora right now ....but Bugs are annoyinh
[11:05] <ukmuk> now i login with ssh and use the passord "12345"
[11:06] <otokoyama> where can i go for some Python Help?
[11:06] <ukmuk> after that the password for samba is set to 12345!
[11:06] <magooo> mount error 6 = No such device or address
[11:06] <magooo> Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
[11:06] <IntuitiveNipple> ukmuk: Have you examined the log-files (/var/log/auth.log and /var/log/samba/*) ?
[11:06] <ukmuk> yes
[11:06] <TIV> for some reason i cant ssh into my desktop anymore?
[11:07] <ukmuk> it will not give any hint about this
[11:07] <cobra-the-joker> i have the ordinary ubuntu
[11:07] <TIV> any help
[11:07] <cobra-the-joker> but i want it with KDE
[11:07] <ikonia> TIV: what happens when you try
[11:07] <cobra-the-joker> can i install it after the system is installed
[11:07] <TIV> no route
[11:07] <ikonia> cobra-the-joker: ubuntu is an OS - so it's best to install it as an operating system
[11:08] <ikonia> TIV: so your networking route to the host is not valid
[11:08] <TIV> it was working fine
[11:08] <ikonia> TIV: something has changed in your routing
[11:08] <cobra-the-joker> ikonia , i am installing it as an OS :-/
[11:08] <TIV> what should i do
[11:08] <cobra-the-joker> not on a VM ....if that what you meen
[11:09] <arvind_khadri> cobra-the-joker, install kubuntu :) its ubuntu with KDE
[11:09] <Mohammad[B]> how to i can config squid 2.7 for a proxy server in a web server ? please help me :-s
[11:09] <ikonia> TIV: check your routing
[11:09] <IntuitiveNipple> ukmuk: "With this option enabled, Samba will attempt to change the user's regular password (as  root) when the encrypted version is changed with  smbpasswd. However, there are two other options that have to be set correctly in order for this to work.With this option enabled, Samba will attempt to change the user's regular password (as  root) when the encrypted version is changed with  smbpasswd. However, there are two other options that hav
[11:09] <arvind_khadri> !squid | Mohammad[B]
[11:09] <ikonia> Mohammad[B]: use squid as a stand alone proxy server, not a web server
[11:10] <TIV> ikonia: k
[11:10] <IntuitiveNipple> ukmuk: (that is with regard to the unix password sync)
[11:10] <ikonia> Mohammad[B]: if you wnat to use it within a webserver, use the apache prox module
[11:10] <cobra-the-joker> :D....but cant i install it on the ordinary one ....coz i have very slow connection here :D
[11:10] <arvind_khadri> cobra-the-joker, ya sure you can
[11:10] <moni> how to record voice ??
[11:10] <cobra-the-joker> so ...whats the command ?
[11:11] <arvind_khadri> cobra-the-joker, sudo apt-get install kde4
[11:11] <Mohammad[B]> ikonia, mean is if i have apache do not use of squid ?
[11:11] <otokoyama> where can i go for some Python Help?
[11:11] <arvind_khadri> cobra-the-joker, but get it confirmed ...
[11:12] <BlueEagle> moni: audacity is nice for recording.
[11:12] <arvind_khadri> otokoyama, #python ?
[11:12] <ikonia> Mohammad[B]: no - I mean use squid as a proxy server, and apache as a web server
[11:12] <moni> but its not detecting the mic?
[11:12] <cobra-the-joker> arvind_khadri , confirmed ??
[11:12] <moni> :-(
[11:12] <arvind_khadri> cobra-the-joker, as in ask someone else too...
[11:12] <cobra-the-joker> Ok ...ty
[11:13] <Mohammad[B]> ikonia, yes i know, now i have apache2 and squid2 and want to setting up squid for a proxy server
[11:13]  * cobra-the-joker is installing ubu :D
[11:13] <arvind_khadri> cobra-the-joker, its the correct one :)
[11:13] <gfather> hello guys
[11:13] <arvind_khadri> !hi | gfather
[11:14] <gfather> how can i chek my sd from terminal ?
[11:14] <corp> greetings.
[11:14] <tynar> hi folks, I need some help with ssh. I am trying to authenticate public key on localhost, but sshd won't grant an access
[11:14] <moni> sound recorder is not detecting mic
[11:14] <moni> ?
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> gfather: define "check"
[11:14] <SpinachHead> i hate open suse
[11:14] <Mohammad[B]> my server IP is  209.40.204.239 how set this? :"acl our_networks src 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.0/24"
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> SpinachHead: don't use it then
[11:14] <BlueEagle> moni: Then you need to unmute the mic and turn up the recording level.
[11:15] <gfather> ActionParsnip like i want to know how many partitions are in my sd and info about them
[11:15] <SpinachHead> i wanted to get the latest mono updates, the only reason I was trying to get it to work
[11:15] <BlueEagle> moni: Also, it helps if you prefix the line with my nick when you attempt to say something to me.
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> gfather: sudo fdisk -l
[11:15] <tynar> SpinachHead: what is your machine?
[11:15] <ukmuk> IntuitiveNipple: i set the sync option to no and it still change the smb password back to the unix password after login with ssh
[11:15] <gfather> ActionParsnip thanks
[11:16] <IntuitiveNipple> ukmuk: Is samba configured to use some form of PAM for password control?
[11:16] <tynar> SpinachHead: if x86 then you could build it yourself
[11:16] <moni> blueeagle there r 2 capture devices
[11:16] <moni> which one 2 select
[11:16] <moni> ?
[11:16] <BlueEagle> moni: Which two are they?
[11:17] <tynar> ssh users, please help
[11:17] <BlueEagle> moni: Try one first and if that doesn't work, try the other.
[11:17] <ukmuk> IntuitiveNipple: yes
[11:17] <SpinachHead> this is xandros, but I usually use ubuntu.  but some of the latest mono releases appear to not be on ubuntu, no?
[11:17] <moni> blueeagle alsapcm and monitor source
[11:17] <SpinachHead> so I tried open suse, but no one helps much as here
[11:17] <BlueEagle> moni: Which mixer are you using?
[11:18] <moni> alsa
[11:18] <tynar> SpinachHead: you are wrong, dude
[11:18] <moni> blueeagle alsa
[11:18] <SpinachHead> wrong about what?
[11:18] <SpinachHead> mono updates?
[11:18] <tynar> SpinachHead: about no one helps, i
[11:18] <melinux> #ubuntu-it
[11:18] <SpinachHead> no, in suse the help is allot slower
[11:18] <tynar> i spend there much time, and they help me everytime
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> SpinachHead: gentoo has cool support, ive not needed mandriva support for ages but from what i remember its fine
[11:19] <tynar> huh, I thought you are about the room )
[11:19] <IntuitiveNipple> ukmuk: haha! progress... for clues see http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/pam.html
[11:19] <ronny> hi
[11:19] <tynar> SpinachHead: anyway, I can help you with the mono,
[11:20] <ronny> anyone aware of a nice backup/filesync tool for gnome
[11:20] <deany> I`m gonna try follow this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095 , to compile newer ffmpeg/x264 but im unsure about the deps that are installed.  when tryin to remove ffmpeg/264 i get "libswscale0 libtwolame0 libdc1394-22 libxvidcore4 libamrnb3 libmp3lame0 libamrwb3 libenca0 liblzo2-2 libimlib2 libmpcdec3 libfaac0 libavdevice52"  no longer required.  is it safe?
[11:20] <BlueEagle> moni: start alsamixer with this command: alsamixer -V capture
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> !backup | ronny
[11:20] <ikonia> deany: why do you want a newer ersion
[11:20] <ikonia> vesion
[11:20] <BlueEagle> moni: That should show you all capture controls.
[11:20] <tynar> !ssh
[11:20] <deany> repo is like a year old, and im told x264 encoding has come a long way since
[11:21] <BlueEagle> moni: Now, check taht the ones you do want to use are not muted (press M to toggle) and that they are set active with CAPTUR in red below them.
[11:21] <JackWinter> just installed some new drives.  what is the best way of moving /home to a new disk ? it's already on it's own partition
[11:21] <ikonia> deany: I wouldn't say that much, I've tried the almost bleeding edge versions and the 8.10 packaged version and there is pretty much nothing in it
[11:21] <BlueEagle> moni: If you have more than one sound card (ie a usb cam with a mic) then you may need to specify that card with the -C flag to alsamixer
[11:21] <BlueEagle> moni: Also try the command: man alsamixer
[11:21] <moni> blueeagle i can see only one capture device here
[11:21] <BlueEagle> moni: It will show you the manual for alsamixer.
[11:22] <BlueEagle> moni: Is it muted?
[11:22] <faria_786> hello
[11:22] <moni> nlueeagle not now
[11:22] <moni> blueeagle not now
[11:22] <faria_786> any game lover arround
[11:22] <BlueEagle> moni: (ie. does it have one or more uppercase "M" with an underscore below it?
[11:22] <ukmuk> IntuitiveNipple: oh, well i will read this now
[11:22] <moni> blueeagle no
[11:23] <BlueEagle> moni: Is the volume set at a sensible level?
[11:23] <faria_786> any game lover arround
[11:23] <BlueEagle> moni: ~70% is usually good.
[11:23] <moni> blueeagle yes
[11:23] <magooo> I'm having trouble to set samba share on fstab..
[11:24] <BlueEagle> moni: Is the sound application registering sounds from the mic now?
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> magooo: you dont set shares there,  you map them with smbmount
[11:24] <moni> blueeagle no it still isnt:-(
[11:25] <magooo> ActionParsnip: ok, i had mounted the disk on fstab.. so, where i have to go to autoshare it?
[11:25] <BlueEagle> moni: Do you have more than one soundcard? (ie. a usb microphone or a camera with a mic)?
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> magooo: /etc/samba/smb.conf
[11:25] <moni> blueeagle no jus one onboard intel soundcard
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> magooo: or you can rigt click folders and select sharing
[11:26] <magooo> ActionParsnip: If i try to share acessing /media/sda1 (where hd is mounted), i receive an error telling that i can set permissions
[11:27] <adams> can anyone help me config a wireless NIC?
[11:27] <BlueEagle> moni: Are you in the audio group btw?
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> magooo: i'll give you my file for smb.conf, its insanely simple
[11:28] <magooo> ActionParsnip: OK!
[11:28] <moni> blueeagle: whats that btp??
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> magooo: http://pastebin.com/fcd1f12f
[11:28] <moni> blueeagle: btw???
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> magooo: head to the bottom of the file
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> magooo: the stuff in the brackets is the share name, the rest is self explanatory
[11:29] <diffred> I have an image of 800x600, I want to resize it to 600x240, how can I do it?
[11:29] <jacus> hey, could someone help me? I m a complete n000b in linux and am trying to install x64 java, I found how to install it but it's asking me to remove the previous version first and I have no idea how to do it
[11:29] <tabuto83> hello!!
[11:29] <BlueEagle> moni: btw = by the way
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> magooo: you will need to run: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart when you change it
[11:29] <moni> blueeagle: no...i don know what that is
[11:30] <rakudave> diffred: use GIMP, it's photoshop for linux
[11:30] <moni> blueeagle: i mean audio group
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> magooo: also run: sudo smbpasswd <your username> and type your login password for all password querys
[11:30] <diffred> rakudave: I've tried it, but I can only scale it to 600x450
[11:30] <BlueEagle> moni: in a terminal type: groups
[11:30] <BlueEagle> moni: Does it list "audio" there?
[11:31] <moni> blueeagle: no
[11:31] <BlueEagle> moni: Do you have any sound at all then?
[11:31] <moni> blueeagle: lol yes..
[11:32] <adams> can someone help me config my wireless - NIC shows up but can't see any networks
[11:32] <rakudave> diffred: use the crop-tool to cut things out or adjust the canvas-size. In order to change width and height indepenantly, you need to remove the "lock" located to the side of the textboxes where you enter the new resolution
[11:32] <BlueEagle> moni: Do you know if you're using pulseaudio or another software sound manager?
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> adams: does: sudo iwlist scan    show any networks?
[11:32] <diffred> rakudave: thanks gonna try :D
[11:32] <BlueEagle> !pulseaudio
[11:33] <moni> blueeagle: i know its alsa mixer v1.0.17
[11:33] <ronny> ubottu: nothing i'd qualify as nice in that list
[11:33] <BlueEagle> moni: Well, pulseaudio is a layer that lies between the applications using sound and alsa if I understand it correctly.
[11:33] <TIV> any one running ubuntu on a think pad?
[11:33] <adams> ActionParsnip: no. 3 interfaces don't support scanning, and the wireless (eth1) says no scan results.
[11:33] <zax1> any one know where and how i can check for open ports on a remote computer
[11:34] <TIV> any one running ubuntu on a think pad?
[11:34] <moni> blueeagle: yes it is pulse audio
[11:34] <zax1> like a port scanner, but  one that will check a diff ip address then mine
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> TIV: doesnt matter what case its in, its the hardware that matters, "thinkpad" means less than nothin
[11:34] <ronny> eh ActionParsnip
[11:34] <ezerhoden> TIV: T60
[11:35] <lokix-za> zax1, nmap is a good portscanner
[11:35] <miha> yes
[11:35] <tynar> anyone using SSH SSH SSH
[11:35] <miha> nmap is cool:)
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> adams: how about moving closer to the AP
[11:35] <TIV> ActionParsnip: point taken
[11:35] <BlueEagle> moni: Then I assume that it is pulseaudio or the way your sound recorder uses alsa that is cause of your fault. I do not use pulseaudio so I am afraid I cannot help you further.
[11:35] <miha> wireshark is good sniffer and analyzer
[11:35] <miha> :)
[11:35] <TIV> mybad
[11:35] <adams> ActionParsnip: I'm 50cm away ;)
[11:35] <BlueEagle> moni: But you may want to try to add yourself to the audio group as it might help.
[11:35] <zax1> lokix-za: i need a web based one or a windows based one
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> TIV: just ask your question for what hardware you are having problems with
[11:36] <moni> blueeagle::-(
[11:36] <ronny> hmm
[11:36] <BlueEagle> moni: To do that you use the command: usermod -aG audio <your username goes here>
[11:36] <moni> blueeagle: ok
[11:36] <BlueEagle> moni: You need to run that command as superuser (!sudo) and replace <your username goes here> with your actual username.
[11:36] <O__o> tynar, i am using ssh here
[11:37] <TIV> ActionParsnip: no problem just in the market for one and was wondering how it runs
[11:37] <ezerhoden> and dont forget to use -a with usermod, sucks to only belong to one group
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> adams: i'd check you are using the right driver, are you fully updated
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> tiv: that sort of thing is offtopic here
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> !ot | TIV
[11:37] <BlueEagle> tynar: I know my pal has gotten shared keys working with ssh, but unfortunately he's locked up at a mental institution and unable to help atm.
[11:37] <moni> blueeagle i did
[11:38] <TIV> k
[11:38] <BlueEagle> moni: You need to log out and back in for the group changes to take effect.
[11:38] <ronny> guess there just isnt any nice 'dont care' backup tool that just takes everything in ~ and backs it up in aporiate ways (dvcs repos, evolution data, files, boomarks, settings, other stuff)
[11:38] <TIV> didnt know
[11:38] <ezerhoden> TIV: if it is on older model it is probably well supported. some of the new wireless chips may not be, if is not intel.
[11:38] <adams> ActionParsnip: I do have a bunch of updates to download, but nothing obviously networky.
[11:38] <moni> blueeagle ok
[11:38] <adams> I guess I'll try it out first though
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> adams: i'd get those and test
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> adams: if its still bad, run lspci and lsusb which will show what the device is
[11:39] <adams> I ran lspci
[11:39] <ezerhoden> TIV: what graphics card and wireless. wireless is probably the only thing you may have an issue with.
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> adams: you can then websearch for the device in hcl and forums etc
[11:40] <adams> ActionParsnip: okay, I'm off to sleep now. I'll be back tomorrow if thing's don't work out I guess :) thanks.
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> adams: np man
[11:41] <ezerhoden> ActionParsnip: you scared TIV away :(
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> ezerhoden: just maintaining the rules of the room

[12:02] <streetchariot> I have been trying to sell my with on Ubuntu but she is not happy that her laptop quit working. :(
[12:02] <ikonia> pZombie: I don't really, I configured most of it by hand
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> slim_: what format is it?
[12:03] <ikonia> pZombie: ccsm is supposed to be good and looks good too
[12:03] <streetchariot> Where would any logs for networking be kept?
[12:03] <slim_> ActionParsnip:   the extension is .mov
[12:03] <ikonia> streetchariot: it won't be anything to do with network if the card isn't working
[12:03] <ikonia> streetchariot: check the syslog for a good start
[12:04] <slim_> ActionParsnip:   i see now when i try play with mplayer from command line i get this error ... Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load: avisynth.dll, /usr/lib/win32/avisynth.dll, /usr/local/lib/win32/avisynth.dll

[12:06] <streetchariot> how about a missing map file?
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> slim_: download the dll and put it where it is expected
[12:06] <bytes> eii
[12:06] <ikonia> streetchariot well thats not good

[12:08] <vigo> Is gstreamer better than Totem?
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> vigo: better and best are individual opinions
[12:08] <vigo> True
[12:08] <now> ActionParsnip; what i did was pubring.gpg > asd.txt  but the asd.txt file was a load of rubbish
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> vigo: try both, see which you prefer
[12:09] <shauno> I thought totem used gstreamer?
[12:09] <now> cat pubring.gpg > asd.txt
[12:09] <vigo> Let me rephrase, which is the most common and used?
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> now: if you run file pubring.gpg   what sort of file is it?
[12:09] <streetchariot> what would a missing kernel map do?
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> vigo: i'd say totem as its part of te default install
[12:09] <now> how do I run it in a no x box

[12:20] <ActionParsnip> !fonts | robson
[12:20] <robson> michaelyao: i did actually read a font installation guide but it gave no info on how to actually put them into use
[12:20] <timahvo1_> michaelyao: /var/log/xorg ?
[12:20] <now> ActionParsnip; any ideas
[12:21] <michaelyao> ty tima, robson like you want all you're text to show the same font?
[12:21] <michaelyao> menu>system>preferences>appearance
[12:22] <Stroganoff> Pirate_Hunter: don't use the -s switch
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> now: its going to be an encrypted file, so catting it will only show garbage, what are you trying to achieve?

[12:23] <ActionParsnip> now: then you need to find a way to decrypt it
[12:24] <lvlefisto> !list
[12:24] <michaelyao> lulemurfan

[12:25] <pZombie> ack, compiz would have been so perfect, if one you did not have to double click the desktop in expo view mode, to get inside. middle mouse button for getting in expo mode and middle mouse button for selecting the desktop would have been nice
[12:25] <vigo> Pirate_Hunter: From Stroganoffs help I got, cp -r directory foo,,,wich is from a link that is Ubuntu
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> adam_: dpkg -l | grep -i gvfs
[12:25] <now> ActionParsnip; so I can send it to someone to use

[12:26] <mib> ActionParsnip, actually i have two OS, one UBuntu and another one is Vista. I removed the Vista but now i could not view the partition. I wanted to view the partition so that I want to create new drives from the hidden space

[12:29] <blip-> hi all,    running ubuntu 8.04.   i had an older kernel + the nvidia 169 drivers installed from the repos.   So i installed the .22-server kernel with higher RAM support and it runs fine but X cannot start nor does the shell because of the Nvidia driver kernel module problem.    After this i removed the nvidia-glx-new package from the repos and then modified  " /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common" to disable nv and nvidia modules from compiling
[12:29] <blip-> on boot.    After that I tried to install the latest drivers from the nvidia website but it complains that it can't find my kernel source.   I installed linux-headers-2.6.24-22, linux-kernel-devel and linux-source-2.6.24 but I'm still getting the same complaint from the nvidia installer tool... any idea why ?    thanks
[12:29] <Hikeractive> !atheros
[12:29] <snowhite> need to know why I accont anymore vist websites from my mailprogramme EVOLUITON I need to pate and clipp now??
[12:30] <jrib> blip-: why are you using the -server kernel exactly?
[12:30] <snowhite> paste and clip
[12:30] <mib> so its sudo apt-get install ntfs3g?
[12:30] <quibbler> lulemurfan: i'm not sure, but try system/perferences/sessions/session options and uncheck automatically remember..maybe that will help
[12:30] <mib> i recalled i did installed before
[12:30] <blip-> jrib: it's a server machine with 8GB ram.  the kernel works perfectly... i'm currently sshed into the machine because I can't get to tty1 or kdm
[12:31] <blip-> it just cannot see my kernel source... is there a way to check it installed correctly ?
[12:31] <lulemurfan> quibbler: I don't have a systems menu, i'm using xubuntu
[12:31] <snowhite> anyone here who could help me with evolution mailprograme?
[12:31] <blip-> not the kernel... i mean to check that i have the correct source installed ?

I have a battery which was reporting 3 hours 15 minits a month back (the battery is 4 months old ) now suddenly every time it gets discharged, it looses the time by 5 minits and now it is resting on 2 hours 50 minits backup when fully charged.  I am sure this is not the way battery works. Even surprise a couple of days back th
[12:33] <lulemurfan> quibbler: i've sorted it anyway!!
[12:33] <quibbler> lulemurfan: how??
[12:33] <lulemurfan> quibbler: i've found a website:- http://www.xfce.org/documentation/4.2/manuals/xfce4-session
[12:34] <vigo> kk_ubuntu: Actually, that is the way a battery 'works', it is called a life cycle or something
[12:34] <lulemurfan> quibbler it's about the chooser
[12:34] <quibbler> lulemurfan: google is your friend ;-).. i,m glad for you
[12:34] <kk_ubuntu> but how does the life go up?
[12:35] <Hybrid> Vigo it shouldnt drop that much that fast.  kk_ubuntu have you actually timed the laptop to see if its really losing time?
[12:35] <brett__> =o
[12:35] <jrib> blip-: all you should need is linux-headers-$(uname -r)

[12:39] <streetchariot> mine was working up until sunday
[12:39] <cobra-the-joker> lol
[12:40] <cobra-the-joker> Why is that ?
[12:40] <jrib> blip-: in any case, the repository version should work afaik.  There is a bug about tty1 being blank with the nvidia drivers on bugs.ubuntu.com.  As for X not starting, you have to paste logs and errors
[12:40] <streetchariot> here is an excellent guide: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#fw-b43-new
[12:40] <streetchariot>  
[12:40] <streetchariot> I am not quite sure
[12:40] <streetchariot> thats why i'm on here
[12:41] <streetchariot> I'm using the lan port now
[12:41] <Rencx> jrib: but which one of them are sugested?
[12:41] <cobra-the-joker> How did you got it installed ?
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom
[12:41] <streetchariot> ever since the kernel .11 update it quit working.
[12:41] <blip-> jrib: turned out i intalled linux-headers-22 not 22-server.  it's compiling now so i'm gonna reboot the server and check it.   i need the new 180 drivers due to 2D acceleration issues that are important here.   thanks for the help :)
[12:41] <cobra-the-joker> Ok
[12:41] <jrib> blip-: 180 is in the repositories
[12:42] <streetchariot> ubottu: thanks for the info
[12:42] <streetchariot> haha!
[12:42] <vigo> Thank you for the help.
[12:42] <jrib> Rencx: none, use what works best for you.  The default is transmission
[12:43] <jrib> blip-: never mind, I forgot you were on hardy
[12:43] <Jewbacca> that guid is not working for me, and btw im on live cd
[12:44] <silv3r_m00n> hi there
[12:44] <Jewbacca> no metter, i will call my friend for that help, but i got few more questions 1) im now on live cd, how i make ubuntu my only operating system?
[12:44] <silv3r_m00n> even a small editor like kedit takes 1-2 secs to popup.....is there an editor which pop instantly like notepad in windows
[12:44] <ikonia> silv3r_m00n: vi
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> silv3r_m00n: leafpad maybe
[12:44] <streetchariot> jewbacca: reboot using your live cd and pick install ubuntu to hard disk
[12:44] <Hybrid> Jewbacca:  There should be a icon on the desktop.  all you do is double click it and follow the steps
[12:45] <Jewbacca> that will format my harddrive yes?
[12:45] <streetchariot> jewbacca: make sure you've got everything you need off of the disk
[12:45] <streetchariot> jewbacca: yes
[12:45] <Hybrid> Jewbacca: if you want it to it can.
[12:45] <Jewbacca> oh good :> and i pressed that and he ask me how to devide the partition so whats your advice?
[12:45] <Jewbacca> menuall or first option :x
[12:45] <Hybrid> Jewbacca: make a "/" "/boot" "/home"
[12:45] <zleap> anyone in and around exeter in here
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> !ot | zleap
[12:46] <spritle> exeter? assy mcgee?
[12:46] <Jewbacca> whats that :X
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> spritle: its a town in the uk
[12:47] <Jewbacca> nice guys :D you rly doing a great job, i guess linux community are nicer than xp community ;D
[12:47] <zleap> what xp community,
[12:48] <Jewbacca> you know xp users :(
[12:48] <Hybrid> Jewbacca:  Whats what?  the "/" is the root volume "/home" is your home partition "/boot" is where your kernel is stored for booting
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> zleap: in ##windows
[12:48] <zleap> ah
[12:48] <Jewbacca> but what i do with that
[12:48] <riegersn> My add/remove programs is EMPTY!? Can anyone help me out here?
[12:49] <Hybrid> Jewbacca: enter private chat
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> riegersn: does dpkg -l | grep gedit     show anything?
[12:49] <Terrasque> riegersn: start a terminal, run "sudo apt-get update" - see if that helps
[12:49] <riegersn> My synaptic is perfectly fine
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> riegersn: then wassup?
[12:50] <Hikeractive> Are there any performance downsides to installing via Wubi? I'm installing on my girlfriend's computer and she wants to test it out for a bit first. The Live CD isn't adequate for her to commit. So I'm just curious if installed, will it perform as it would on it's own partition.
[12:50] <riegersn> synaptic is full of packages, but add/remove is completely empty
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> riegersn: they are the same thing, that menu item launches synaptic
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> Hikeractive: its nice to try but as a standing OS i'd do a proper install
[12:51] <riegersn> ActionParsnip: no menu item launched gnome-app-install
[12:51] <cobra-the-joker> cibra
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> riegersn: then edit the item to launch gksudo synaptic
[12:52] <riegersn> ActionParsnip: thats not a solution
[12:52] <Hikeractive> That's the longterm goal, I'm  just wondering if she'll get a good feel for the OS, that's it's not laggy, slower, etc.; I use Ubuntu and Crunchbang Linux, and I'd like her to convert, so I'm just wondering how it performs for casual use for a week or so.
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> riegersn: why isnt it? both programs allow use of a gui to emove and install apps.
[12:53] <miha> hikeractive ubuntu loads significantly faster than windows xp
[12:53] <riegersn> ActionParsnip: im looking for a valid reason as the why the app list is empty and a valid solution not 'Just make it like to a similar app'
[12:53] <ikonia> miha: that experience is very user specific
[12:53] <miha> ikonia i amdit :)
[12:53] <ikonia> riegersn: your sources.list is wrong
[12:54] <riegersn> ikonia: ok, but everything else is working fine
[12:54] <riegersn> le me check
[12:54] <Hikeractive> ActionParsnip, do you have any idea as to how a standard install might affect her Vista Recovery Partition. If I do a manual partition setup, leave it untouched, etc., would it still work if needed?
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> riegersn: try: sudo apt-get --reinatll install gnome-app-install
[12:54] <ikonia> riegersn: define "everything else"
[12:54] <riegersn> ikonia: apt-get update, upgrade install remove, synaptic
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> Hikeractive: it wont affect it, it will only use space on the drive
[12:55] <ikonia> riegersn: ok - so your sources.list is fine
[12:55] <Hikeractive> ActionParsnip, thanks for the help. Now I'm just going to have to tackle her
[12:55] <riegersn> lol
[12:55] <Hikeractive> Atheros card.
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> riegersn: the command will reinstall the installer app and may sort things out for you

[12:57] <ActionParsnip> !info cheese
[12:58] <blip-> jrib: worked perfectly.  thanks.
[12:58] <streetchariot> this bc4318 card is driving me nuts
[12:59] <jrib> blip-: out of curiousity, tty1 now works with no more fiddling?

[13:00] <streetchariot> yes
[13:00] <streetchariot> I am missing it
[13:00] <streetchariot> Where would I go about finding it?
[13:00] <riegersn> ActionParsnip: i owe you one that worked! Sorry if I snapped at you earlier, i just woke up :)
[13:00] <ikonia> streetchariot: should have been installed with the kernel
[13:00] <Repaterion> tar.gz vs tar.bz2 whats the differens exept for the name?
[13:00] <streetchariot> thats what I figured.
[13:00] <cobra-the-joker> Ok
[13:01] <ikonia> Repaterion: gzip and bz2 compression

[13:01] <jxander> is there a way to find out the names of the files that were deleted from a certain location a few minutes ago? i don't need to recover them, i just need to know what was deleted... is there a history of events like this?
[13:01] <Repaterion> ok
[13:01] <streetchariot> I read online that the kernel maps disappear when you switch kernels. True?
[13:01] <jrib> jxander: how did you delete them?

[13:02] <jxander> jrib: uTorrent running through wine did...
[13:02] <Repaterion> thx.
[13:02] <ikonia> streetchariot: no - they dissapear when you remove the kernel
[13:02] <streetchariot> strange
[13:02] <streetchariot> I didn't show any errors when I got the kernel
[13:02] <streetchariot> can I re-download the kernel somehow?
[13:02] <streetchariot> I am running 9 right now
[13:02] <ikonia> streetchariot: yes, use the package manager and the "re-install" option
[13:02] <streetchariot> no wifi though
[13:02] <streetchariot> ok
[13:03] <ikonia> streetchariot: use a cable
[13:03] <jrib> jxander: then only if utorrent keeps track of that

[13:03] <diffred> hi! to create a favicon.ico, I've just created an 16x16 image (jpg,png...) how can i convert it to the ico format to use in my website?
[13:03] <ex-chat> yes sorry englis not good
[13:03] <ikonia> ex-chat: ok, no problem
[13:04] <streetchariot> diffred: you need to edit metadata and make sure it is in root directory of site
[13:04] <streetchariot> look online
[13:04] <streetchariot> Google FAVICON
[13:04] <diffred> streetchariot: isn't a jpg to .ico converter or sth
[13:04] <streetchariot> I can't recall
[13:04] <diffred> I've googled it, but all demos use photoshop and Export as .ico
[13:05] <streetchariot> there is a tool online that will spec the file for you
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> ex-chat: run lspci
[13:05] <streetchariot> look for free online favicon creator
[13:05] <jrib> diffred: usually, I add "linux" as a search term when that happens
[13:05] <ex-chat> <are i run it
[13:05] <ikonia> ex-chat: official report from net gear is "no linux drivers"
[13:05] <diffred> jrib: thanks gonna try!
[13:05] <ex-chat> i now
[13:05] <ikonia> ex-chat: ok - so there are no drivers for linux then
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> ex-chat: i use the 311T and it works out of the box
[13:06] <jrib> diffred: you might be able to use "convert" from imagemagick too, but I've never tried

[13:10] <ActionParsnip> Chocotoff: are they mounted with smbmount?
[13:10] <quibbler> diffred: try: http://www.coolutils.com/Online-Image-Converter.php
[13:10] <jrib> dayo_: setgid
[13:10] <Chocotoff> No, i´m supposed to mount them in xbmc itself
[13:10] <Mikeher> I am trying to install ubuntu 8.10 but the installation doesn't even start until i'm stuck at a this black screen -> http://www.mher.dk/ubuntu.jpg - What is wrong? What to do? :(
[13:10] <dayo_> jrib: what is setgid?
[13:10] <ikonia> ActionParsnip: it's a Atheros chipset, just checked, but it says unsupported by madwifi
[13:10] <jrib> dayo_: 'man chmod' has a decent explanation
[13:10] <dayo_> jrib: ok thanks
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> Chocotoff: you mount them with either mount or fstab and then it will appear as a standard folder in xbmc
[13:11] <jrib> dayo_: here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: i simply install the restricted modules and its there
[13:11] <ikonia> ActionParsnip: you have that same card ?
[13:11] <milligan_> lulemurfan, sounds like your grub install is broken
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: but thats 311T not 111T
[13:11] <streetchariot> mikeher: looks like you have no desktop manager
[13:11] <lulemurfan> milligan_: how can i fix it?
[13:12] <ikonia> ActionParsnip: ahh the 111t is listed as not supported by madwifi
[13:12] <streetchariot> !KDE
[13:12] <streetchariot> !Gnome
[13:12] <milligan_> lulemurfan, try reinstalling grub from a livecd or similar.
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: 01:09.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. Atheros AR5001X+ Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
[13:12] <Mikeher> streetchariot: desktop manager? :(
[13:12] <streetchariot> mikeher: !KDE
[13:12] <Chocotoff> ActionParsnip, it should be possible to add the samba location in XBMC itself. Also when rebooting remaining in XBMC as a folder with the media. I´ve done this on another setup
[13:12] <lulemurfan> milligan_: isn't that going to wipe my system?
[13:12] <streetchariot> yes
[13:12] <Chocotoff> or else the Browse function should not be there in the first place
[13:12] <milligan_> lulemurfan, no if you just reinstall grub
[13:12] <Mikeher> !KDE
[13:13] <lulemurfan> milligan_: and will work?
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> Chocotoff: ive always mounted stuff i was going to access so i couldnt tell you, if its going to be a regular thing I would have it mounting
[13:13] <streetchariot> mikeher: use sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> Chocotoff: log it as a bug with the team then
[13:13] <streetchariot> if you like KDE better use sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[13:13] <Repaterion> I wonder if theres a way to repair a system thats not working properly, or should i just re install Ubuntu instead?
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> Chocotoff: but if it wont browse like you want, you may have to mount it to get it to work how you wish
[13:14] <Chocotoff> yes
[13:14] <Chocotoff> as an alternative
[13:14] <streetchariot> Repaterion: as long as your network iface is up, boot recovery mode on your kernel
[13:14] <kroffe> is there any app that can make a viruelle system like vmware for ubuntu?
[13:14] <streetchariot> you can have the recovery system search for damaged packages
[13:14] <Chocotoff> ActionParsnip thank you anyways :)
[13:14] <Mikeher> streetchariot: i don't know the difference, but i typed it with "kubuntu".. i'm new to ubuntu
[13:15] <ikonia> kroffe: vmware - is available in ubuntu
[13:15] <streetchariot> Repaterion: if your net connection works, it should find and replace damaged packages
[13:15] <ikonia> !vmware
[13:15] <ikonia> !virtualizaion > kroffe
[13:15] <nick|here> my sudo is broken. no errors, does not asks for password. in example, nano works for normal users, but i can't sudo nano. no errors appear, no password prompt. just waits..
[13:15] <ikonia> !virtualization > kroffe
[13:15] <Repaterion> ok will that help even with driver problems?
[13:15] <streetchariot> nick|here: you are logged in as root.
[13:16] <nick|here> streetchariot: nope, as a normal user
[13:16] <streetchariot> nick|here: or your sudo list is damaged
[13:16] <ArepaKing> good morning everybody. Does anyone knows where can I find all the AGP Low Profile video cards that are compatible with Ubuntu?
[13:16] <Repaterion> Why i'm asking is because i cant get my NV7600GS to work properly in Wine..
[13:16] <nick|here> streetchariot: /etc/sudoers?
[13:16] <Mikeher> streetchariot: it says i haven't got enough free space.. how can i format? i don't have to save anything from the harddrive
[13:16] <kroffe> ikonia: is that any more appz that are grafical?
[13:16] <streetchariot> nick:here: correct
[13:17] <streetchariot> mikeher: did you by chance boot a live cd of ubuntu-server?
[13:17] <kroffe> how do i open tar.gz?
[13:17] <ikonia> kroffe: untar it
[13:17] <ikonia> kroffe: gunzip it then untar it
[13:18] <kroffe> okey tnx
[13:18] <Mikeher> streetchariot: no i'm pretty sure that it is the desktop version
[13:18] <streetchariot> did you happen to edit the file with something other than visudo as root?
[13:18] <ikonia> streetchariot: ubuntu server install cd isn't a livecd
[13:18] <streetchariot> Mikeher: attempt to type : startx
[13:18] <streetchariot> Ikonia: Yeah.. Duh. :)
[13:19] <Mikeher> streetchariot: fatal server error: no screens found
[13:19] <streetchariot> Mikeher: are you booting off of CD
[13:19] <jacus> could any1 help me please with setting 5.1 speakers in my sound blaster x-fi? I get sound but not 5.1
[13:20] <DizzyDoo> Anyone have a recommendation for a low priced modem that gets along happily with Ubuntu Server?
[13:20] <jacus> and how do i turn my mic on ?:D
[13:20] <ikonia> DizzyDoo: look for any hardware modem - and they are normally not cheap
[13:20] <Mikeher> streetchariot: yes i am.. i even tried burning the cd twice; same result
[13:21] <streetchariot> DizzyDoo: look at a used Computer store. they have tons, usually for 5-10$
[13:21] <DizzyDoo> ikonia: So any modem works with Ubuntu?
[13:21] <streetchariot> DizzyDoo: might cost you 10$ I'd buy 2 to be safe.
[13:21] <streetchariot> Mikeher: where did you D/L from?
[13:22] <Mikeher> streetchariot: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[13:22] <Mikeher> yesterday
[13:22] <streetchariot> x64 or x86
[13:23] <streetchariot> Mikeher: x64 or x32
[13:23] <Mikeher> streetchariot: ehm 32bit.. x32 i guess?
[13:23] <Mikeher> i386
[13:23] <streetchariot> Mikeher: When you boot from the CD do you get a graphical menu?
[13:23] <Mikeher> yes
[13:24] <streetchariot> Mikeher: what options do you have available?
[13:24] <streetchariot> Mikeher: and what kind of graphics card do you have?
[13:24] <marius> hello ppl
[13:24] <Mikeher> streetchariot: i've tried both "trying" ubuntu and installing it.. both ended up with the black screen
[13:24] <Mikeher> streetchariot: well as i recall: try ubuntu, install ubuntu, test memory, test cd....
[13:25] <Guest59653> I installed a theme but it fails to apply when I'm root
[13:25] <Guest59653> what should I do?
[13:25] <Mikeher> streetchariot: it's a laptop with onboard graphics so im not sure.. probably some ati
[13:25] <magooo> what is the name os package chromium (google chrome) ?
[13:25] <D--> onboard is usually ati mobility, intel mobile or siliconmotion
[13:25] <DizzyDoo> How about Wireless routers/USB router sticks? Any recommendations for low cost ones that also get along with Ubuntu?
[13:26] <denniss> Hey guys, is there a way to add a group to another group. I want for example the group "media" to have subgroups "music" and "movies". So that members of "media" implicitly are members of "music" and "movies", but "music" members do not have access to the "movies". What is the common way to solve this?
[13:26] <Stroganoff> DizzyDoo: http://linux-wless.passys.nl/?lang=english
[13:26] <ikonia> denniss: anah, can't add groups to groups
[13:26] <Guest59653> when  I open a folder as root, the theme doesn't apply...hoe can I make it apply when I'm root?
[13:26] <streetchariot> mikeher: sounds like you may have to use the vga=791 switch
[13:27] <cobra-the-joker> Hey guys ....How can i make a server over my router ?
[13:27] <Imaginativeone> how do I burn an iso in KDE?
[13:27] <ikonia> streetchariot: why 791 ?
[13:27] <riegersn> How can i check dependencies of something if I only have the source? i don't want to compile it, just need a dependency list somehow
[13:27] <ikonia> streetchariot: how do you know his card supports that resolution
[13:27] <DizzyDoo> Stroganoff: I have already found myself there, but the majority are either only really available in the US (I'm British) or very expensive
[13:27] <ikonia> streetchariot: and what makes you think this is a framebuffer issue ?
[13:27] <streetchariot> That is to force standard res correct?
[13:28] <Mikeher> streetchariot: how do i apply switches? :s
[13:28] <gnubie> Mikeher;  I believe when the booting CD gets to the slection menu there are function key choices across the bottom of the scren. I think f4 or 5f let you choose a safe graohics mode.
[13:29] <streetchariot> Ikonia: No screens found applies to a mismatch in video config. forcing "Deafult VGA" should allow X to function
[13:29] <ikonia> streetchariot: no that doesn't force a "standard" res - that hard codes the frmaebuffer to  a specific resolution
[13:29] <ikonia> streetchariot: no screens found is nothing to do with the "vga" option
[13:29] <ikonia> streetchariot: no screens found is "xorg"
[13:29] <esay> you should try Pardus-linux distrobution
[13:29] <Stroganoff> DizzyDoo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[13:29] <streetchariot> Ikonia: nVidia and ATI cards are notorious for the issue.
[13:30] <Guest59653> help pls...why a theme won't apply when I open sth as root?
[13:30] <cobra-the-joker> i want to make this PC as a server for my router ...How can i ?
[13:30] <ikonia> streetcharios I think you are getting vvery confused
[13:30] <ikonia> streetchariot: xorg is nothing to do with the "vga" option
[13:30] <IntuitiveNipple> denniss: You can do that using "extended attributes", by enabling the "acl" file-system option for ext3 and similar when mounting. I believe XFS supports them natively. Use the {set,get}facl utilities to control them. (see man {set,get}facl)
[13:30] <ikonia> streetchariot: and vga=791 is a very specific resolution - not a "standard" resollution
[13:30] <streetchariot> Ikonia: I might be. I've not been to sleep since yesterday
[13:30] <ikonia> streetchariot: that command is for the frame buffer - not xorg
[13:31] <ikonia> streetchariot: don't pretend it's because your tired - just say "I don't know"
[13:32] <Mikeher> streetchariot & ikonia: what do i do? :P
[13:33] <streetchariot> Mikeher: what graphics card do you have?
[13:33] <hums> Hi. I need to configure flash to accept webcam. But when I right click on the flash web-application, the application hang. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
[13:33] <Mikeher> streetchariot: i think its ati mobility
[13:34] <Mikeher> streetchariot: or savage something :s does it matter? :|
[13:34] <streetchariot> Mikeher: try using the Secure Graphics mode option when the CD boots up.
[13:34] <ikonia> streetchariot: secure graphics mode ?
[13:34] <streetchariot> Mikeher: this should detect your display as a VESA Compatible display
[13:35] <gnubie> Mikeher;  f4 (modes) lets you choose safe graphics mode(vesa)
[13:35] <streetchariot> Mikeher: I believe it is F4 on the boot menu to get to the advanced options. I haven't used it in some time.
[13:36] <ikonia> Mikeher: boot from the CD - in theboot menu there should be on screen an option for "safe graphics mode" or "failsafe Graphics mode"
[13:36] <Mikeher> streetchariot, gnubie: i will try that.. but it's quite slow to start up :s
[13:36] <ikonia> Mikeher: select the "failsafe" graphicss mode
[13:36] <streetchariot> MIkeher: Look on Google for info re: ATI cards and correct drivers once you get booted.
[13:36] <denniss> IntuitiveNipple, ah so you mean that rather than having subgroups, I set my files to have multiple groups?

[13:58] <shakaponk> dr_Willis: hmm, that's strange, i also had the experience to to work with colors, but now if i log on on a new server its all unicolor
[13:59] <gnubie> Mikeher; you might set the safe graphics b4 you do the test
[13:59] <remoteCTR1> ikonia: are you there dude?
[13:59] <jacus> hmm
[13:59] <jacus> doesnt work
[13:59] <dr_Willis> shakaponk,  you sure its not your ls command/alias thats not handling the colors?  or is set to nocolor by default.. or  perhaps the TERM setting is not gettting set right
[13:59] <remoteCTR1> jacus: do you remember the nae of the command?
[13:59] <jacus> yes
[13:59] <jacus> sudo speaker-test
[13:59] <jacus> -c6
[13:59] <ikonia> remoteCTR1: yes, only for a moment though
[14:00] <remoteCTR1> so then do ps aux | grep <commandname> that returns you in the second column the process id
[14:00] <shakaponk> dr_Willis: unfortunately, i'm a linux newbie, so how to check wether it is the ls command?
[14:00] <remoteCTR1> jacus: kill -9 process id should do the job
[14:00] <dr_Willis> shakaponk,  try 'alias ls' and see
[14:00] <dr_Willis> alias ls='ls -hF --color'
[14:00] <dr_Willis> shakaponk,   the commands must be told to use, or not to use the 'color' - and many check the shell/terminal settings to see if colors are allowed
[14:01] <remoteCTR1> ikonia: nice! i got a rather awkward problem here; apt tells me it cannot resolve the sources, but i can ping them and browse them in ff, also they work on other PC, so an apt related issue, got any idea how to fix this?
[14:01] <jacus> so kill -9 speaker?
[14:01] <jacus> sorry I m a bit of a nooob
[14:01] <remoteCTR1> jacus: do ps aux | grep speaker
[14:01] <shakaponk> dr_Willis: you are the best :-D what does alias do? any references?
[14:02] <dr_Willis> shakaponk,  bash is documented in 100000000000+ web sites. and the advanced-bash-scripting guide.
[14:02] <remoteCTR1> jacus: first word you see then as output is your username, second is a number like 28630
[14:02] <fosco_> jacus: speaker is the name of the program you ran?
[14:02] <Blinkiz> Hi. Am looking for a tool that can create a video index picture. Like, I input a video and it will take small snapshots and put it in a index picture. Any suggestions?
[14:02] <remoteCTR1> jacus: do kill -9 28360 then
[14:02] <lantjie> remotectr: have you done it already
[14:03] <jacus> i got root      7647  0.5  6.6 183244 135892 ?       Sl   13:48   0:04 speaker-test -c6 as output
[14:03] <remoteCTR1> lantjie: as i wrote above i have even restarted the whole server
[14:03] <paranoid_ndroid> how do I find out which wireless card I have?'
[14:03] <jacus> so 7647?
[14:03] <remoteCTR1> so kill -9 7647 it is
[14:03] <kalimero> sudo kill ...
[14:03] <remoteCTR1> paranoid_ndroid: lspci | grep wire
[14:04] <shakaponk> dr_Willis: thx alot, i'll take a look
[14:04] <shakaponk> cu
[14:04] <remoteCTR1> jacus: kalimeiro is right; sudo kill -9 7647
[14:04] <jacus> :D thank you :Dd
[14:04] <paranoid_ndroid> remoteCTR1, didn't show anything
[14:04] <remoteCTR1> jacus: hehe np
[14:04] <lantjie> remoteCTR1: oke then i don't know
[14:05] <remoteCTR1> paranoid_ndroid: do only lspci then and see if you find anything with wifi or what ever in its description that reminds of a wireless card
[14:05] <remoteCTR1> lantjie: thanks for trying tho
[14:06] <jacus> btw, do you guys now any good online book or something like a noob guide to ubuntu but with commands and how do do stuff and where to find it ?
[14:06] <lantjie> hey guys do you guys know how i can configure xlock
[14:06] <Stroganoff> jacus: http://wiki.ubuntu.com
[14:06] <kalimero> jacus: sec
[14:06] <mircer> where can i download ubuntu mobile?
[14:06] <remoteCTR1> jacus: the term you are looking for is howto, what ever youre looking for put howto infront of it in google and you will find tons...
[14:06] <eper3z> hey, howcome i cant achieve 1920x1200 with my virtual OS, with vbox..?
[14:07] <h0rnman> has anyone else tried installing Jaunty in a VM?
[14:07] <kalimero> http://www.linux.org/lessons/beginner/toc.html
[14:07] <Pici> h0rnman: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty/9.04 support/discussion.
[14:07] <doctorow> I'm running Intrepid Ibex with Compiz and Static Application Switcher. After an hour or so of running this, the miniature application icons next to the window thumbnails in the alt-Tab display go all weird -- sometimes the icons are transposed (Gedit has Thunderbird's icon) and sometimes they're just scrambled or blank. Is there a fix for this?
[14:07] <h0rnman> ah....good idea  :)
[14:08] <Mikeher> i have an acer aspire 1350.. can that be the cause of my problems with the installation?
[14:08] <Mikeher> gnubie: the cd is OK
[14:08] <remoteCTR1> Pici: nice to see ya, could you help me with an apt issue meaning apt not finding sources, please?
[14:08] <jacus> howto works but I want to learn general things and for howto I have to know what I m looking for
[14:09] <remoteCTR1> Mikeher: depends on what problems you got?
[14:09] <remoteCTR1> jacus then follow kalimeiros and stroganoffs suggestions
[14:10] <jacus> great I will do that
[14:10] <Mikeher> remoteCTR1: when trying to start the installation i get to this screen -> www.mher.dk/ubuntu.jpg
[14:10] <remoteCTR1> :)
[14:10] <gnubie> Mikeher; hmm search for you notebook http://www.google.com/linux
[14:11] <lucascarvalho> ONe tar gz file has 3 folder inside, A B and C... I want to extract only the C folder, how can I do that?
[14:11] <Mikeher> gnubie i tried and found that quite a lot also experienced problems.. all though i have not found any similar to my problem :s
[14:11] <remoteCTR1> Mikeher: looks perfect to me, what are you missing? (exept for the graphics:D )
[14:11] <bn43> hi I've installed ntop on my internet gateway server and would like to know how to get it to continue from its stats on reboot
[14:11] <Mikeher> remoteCTR1: some suggested that it was the graphics adapter and proposed i tried with safe graphic mode, which caused it to freeze
[14:12] <bn43> google says refer to man, thats confusing me
[14:12] <Mikeher> remoteCTR1: i want graphic :P
[14:12] <gnubie> Mikeher; let me think about it
[14:12] <jacus> one last thing, I m trying to enable my 5.1 speakers with my sb x-fi, I got the drivers from creative and everything works but as 2.1, I ve tried quite a few things but I don't know how to turn it on
[14:12] <remoteCTR1> Mikeher: the jpeg you pasted shows a console login, what happens if you press ctrl+alt +f7?
[14:13] <remoteCTR1> jacus: creative xfi are known to have "issues"..
[14:13] <Mikeher> remoteCTR1: i'll try that when i get to the screen again
[14:13] <jacus> I know but it works fine, just not 5.1
[14:13] <jacus> and all the solutions I found were different than what i see in my system
[14:13] <Mikeher> i also experience unbelievable long load times.. is that normal?
[14:13] <remoteCTR1> Mikeher: what cd have you installed, do you happen to have picked the server version? in that case log in and do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[14:14] <remoteCTR1> Mikeher: basically not, should load smoothly
[14:14] <Mikeher> remoteCTR1: filename for the iso -> ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386
[14:14] <remoteCTR1> gosh can noone help me with my apt sources?:-/
[14:15] <remoteCTR1> Mikeher: that would me the graphical version
[14:15] <Blinkiz> I there. I looking for a tool/program that can create thumbnail index picture of a movie. A picture containing snapshots from different positions in a movie. Any recommendations?
[14:15] <carpii_> blinkiz, i think ffmpeg can do that
[14:15] <Blinkiz> carpii_, yeah, what should I search for in google?
[14:15] <Mikeher> remoteCTR1: i'm at the black screen again.. just before i saw a quick glimp of some tests which one of them failed. the screen dissappeared to quickly for me to read the text but i noticed it was the first test og 4 or something :s
[14:16] <kj4> msg nickserv identify kj4 istillpoopmypants
[14:16] <carpii_> rtry searching for 'ffmpeg'
[14:16]  * carpii_ blinks
[14:16] <remoteCTR1> Mikeher: tests? that doesnt sound typical
[14:16]  * Boohbah_ looks at carpii_ 
[14:16] <carpii_> Blinkiz, http://gallery.menalto.com/node/29528
[14:16] <Mikeher> remoteCTR1: maybe it's checks.. i don't know :/
[14:17] <Mikeher> remoteCTR1: pressing ctrl+alt+F7 has resulted in a black screen with a textmarker in the upper left corner.. i guess it's working :s
[14:17] <remoteCTR1> Mikeher: well if you have graphics issues normally x falls back to a basic configuration with some unsufferable 640*480 resolution
[14:17] <Blinkiz> carpii_, I believe that will only create thumbnails.
[14:18] <remoteCTR1> Mikeher: :D try siwtching back to ctrl+alt+f7 and then press ctrl+alt+backspace, and then tell me whats happening
[14:18] <carpii_> blinkiz, yes thats wat you asked for isnt it?
[14:18] <carpii_> s/wat/what
[14:18] <Blinkiz> carpii_, No
[14:19] <BlueEagle> lucascarvalho: Good question. As far as I understand it the files (and folders) are compressed with gzip and then rolled together into one with tar.
[14:19] <carpii_> ok you want one big picture with several thumbnails
[14:19] <Blinkiz> carpii_, yes
[14:19] <BlueEagle> lucascarvalho: Thus you need to untar all the gzipped files and then remove the ones you do not want and then uncompress the remaining.
[14:19] <carpii_> use ffmpeg to create the thumbnails, then use imagemagick to stitch them all into one big pic
[14:19] <hayig2000> is there a visual keyboard program other than viki?
[14:19] <Blinkiz> carpii_, I do believe it exist a easier way
[14:19] <Mikeher> remoteCTR1: switching back like pressing ctrl+alt+f7 again?.. i just did that and afterwards pressed ctrl+alt+backspace.. none of these commands made the computer react :/
[14:20] <lucascarvalho> BlueEagle: no, you just need to specify, tar -xf file.tar C     ... where C is the folder
[14:20] <carpii_> maybe Blinkiz, but i dont think this way is particularly difficult either
[14:20] <BlueEagle> lucascarvalho: There may be some tools that lets you select distinct files inside a tape archive (tar) file, and tar may support individual file extractions, but that would in such case be in the manual.
[14:20] <lucascarvalho> thank you dude!
[14:20] <m0RrE> does anyone of you use raid0 ?
[14:20] <c0p3rn1c> I can't get my ALT key working anymore, I tried switching keyboard layouts, but nothing seems to work
[14:20] <BlueEagle> lucascarvalho: Well then you know more than I do.
[14:21] <remoteCTR1> Mikeher: ok switch back to tty1 or 2 with ctrl+alt+f1 or f2 then login there and do "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" (without the quotes of course) and write down the exact error message and report back with it
[14:21] <lucascarvalho> BlueEagle: eheh, I just got this 'googleing'
[14:21] <IntuitiveNipple> lucascarvalho: tar -xzf archive.tar folderC/
[14:21] <lucascarvalho> I tested and it works :P
[14:21] <remoteCTR1> m0RrE: i use raid 5 can i also help you?
[14:21] <lucascarvalho> IntuitiveNipple: :D
[14:21] <Blinkiz> carpii_, Am looking for this: http://www.dotcomunderground.com/blogs/2006/09/20/how-to-make-sequential-thumbnails-of-a-video-using-free-tools/
[14:21] <Blinkiz> carpii_, But for linuz
[14:22] <m0RrE> remoteCTR1: i was just wondering if it does any good to use it.. i was wondering if it will give me any performance boost using raid0
[14:22] <remoteCTR1> m0RrE: sure will as you read and write on two disks simultaneously
[14:23] <carpii_> Blinkiz, I dont know. But Id rather use commandline tools for this rather than some fancy gui app anyday. So you can simply automate it all
[14:23] <remoteCTR1> m0RrE: the downside of it is if on of the two disks crashes all data are gone
[14:23] <m0RrE> yes i know
[14:23] <Blinkiz> carpii_, Me two
[14:23] <Blinkiz> too
[14:23] <m0RrE> remoteCTR1: i have a new motherboard, will i be able to use the integraded raid controller when i install ubuntu?
[14:23] <ubuntu_> How  can I find out the graphics card installed on this machine?
[14:23] <m0RrE> ubuntu_: lspci -v
[14:23] <Mikeher> remoteCTR1: stopping gnome display manager [OK]; starting gnome display manager [OK]
[14:24] <ubuntu_> And Is there a way to detect the network card installed?
[14:24] <m0RrE> ubuntu_: lspci -v
[14:24] <remoteCTR1> m0RrE: wel then the answer to your question is, it doesnt quite doulbe read and write speeds but about 1,7 time faster you can count on
[14:24] <hawodi> ikonia: Thanks. I was able to browse the docs using firefox browser.
[14:24] <ubuntu_> m0RrE: thanks
[14:24] <Stroganoff> Blinkiz: install ffmpegthumbnailer using apt-get. more info here: http://code.google.com/p/ffmpegthumbnailer/wiki/FFMpegThumbnailer
[14:24] <remoteCTR1> Mikeher: aha ok, that is interesting and what do you see now on tty7?
[14:24] <Blinkiz> Stroganoff, Aaa, nice. Thank you :)
[14:24] <m0RrE> remoteCTR1: but do you know if the "hardware controller" on my motherboard will be supported or is it just software raid?
[14:24] <Mikeher> remoteCTR1: what is tty7? a command? :P
[14:25] <remoteCTR1> Mikeher: you have basically 7 consoles, you switch them with ctrl+alt+f1-7, f7 delivers graphical output
[14:25] <hawodi> Mikeher:tty could be ur command line.
[14:26] <Mikeher> remoteCTR1: neat.. ctrl+alt+f7 = blank black screen
[14:26] <remoteCTR1> m0RrE: software raid iworks just fine with ubuntu,  you can of course try to set up a hardware raid in bios but to find out if that is being supported by ubuntu...
[14:27] <m0RrE> remoteCTR1: aight, i tried to install on a raid0 setup with the ordinary disc, but then i read that i have to use the alternative cd
[14:27] <remoteCTR1> Mikeher: do the following: "sudo cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep error"   or alternately replace the word error by fail
[14:28] <remoteCTR1> m0RrE: that can be i dunno precisely if the standard supports it as i use the alternate per default...
[14:28] <heatmzzr> where do I find the file or program SPDP to restore bluetooth?
[14:28] <m0RrE> aight
[14:28] <m0RrE> burning right now
[14:28] <remoteCTR1> m0RrE: go for it!
[14:28] <Blinkiz> Stroganoff, Thanks for the tip about ffmpegthumbnailer. But it does not seems like it can create a index picture of the complete movie. Do you know a program that can do this?
[14:29] <m0RrE> remoteCTR1: btw, is it necessary to create the swap disk?
[14:29] <remoteCTR1> m0RrE: sure as hell is
[14:30] <remoteCTR1> m0RrE: know what the swap is?
[14:30] <m0RrE> ok
[14:30] <Mikeher> remoteCTR1: (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown; fatal server error:
[14:30] <m0RrE> remoteCTR1: a backup when i run out of ram?
[14:30] <Mikeher> remoteCTR1: with fail it returns nothing
[14:30] <void_> Anyone who is good at crontab ?
[14:31] <DizzyDoo> How can I be sure a Wireless Router is compatible with Ubuntu? (Not meaning Wireless cards, actual router boxes)
[14:31] <ishai> hybrid where are you again xD
[14:31] <LeL> hry all
[14:31] <LeL> hey*
[14:31] <remoteCTR1> m0RrE: backup, well  yes linux writes back information from your ram into the swap to free some space in the ram in case you need som, if it cant write the infos back to somewhere youre in deep sh**
[14:31] <Hybrid> ishai: yeah?
[14:32] <m0RrE> remoteCTR1: but i have 6gb ram so i think i'll be fine?
[14:32] <LeL> anyone knows if it's possible to connect to checkpoint ng1 with openvpn?
[14:32] <LeL> i've been trying to configure it but had no luck
[14:32] <heatmzzr> where do I find the file or program SPDP to restore bluetooth?
[14:33] <remoteCTR1> Mikeher: not very self explanatory, do it once again and use less /var/log/Xorg.0.log, you can scroll up and down in there with page up page down keys and you quit it with the "q" key, see if you find something in there that could be a littlebit more speaking
[14:33] <uberspaced> what command line jabber chat client is good?
[14:33] <remoteCTR1> m0RrE: no matter how much ram you got always use a swap partition
[14:33] <m0RrE> ok
[14:33] <m0RrE> thx, afk
[14:33] <wilsonnck> void_ you have a crontab question?
[14:34] <LeL> anyone knows if it's possible to connect to checkpoint ng1 with openvpn?
[14:34] <remoteCTR1> DizzyDoo: do you mean you would like to install ubuntu on the router?
[14:35] <gnubie> Mikeher; seems a few years ago turning off the framebuffer fixed this problem. Don't know if ubuntu sets the framebuffer.
[14:35] <DizzyDoo> remoteCTRl No, I mean, iis a router like the Netgear WG602 compatible with Ubuntu Server?
[14:35] <void_> wilsonnck: Yeah. I want a job to be runned every day (every 2 minutes) between the hours 04-21
[14:35] <Mikeher> remoteCTR1: am i better off trying to install ubuntu on another laptop? i have one with similar hardware
[14:36] <Boohbah_> DizzyDoo: the best way to find out would be to hook it up and try it out
[14:36] <remoteCTR1> DizzyDoo: communication between network devices is determined through several standards, linux follows those standards just as any other operationg system, so the answer is yes
[14:36] <DizzyDoo> Boohbah: Indeed, I would love to, but unfortunately I haven't purchased it yet
[14:36] <LeL> anyone has got a solution to connect to a checkpoint gateway from ubuntu?
[14:37] <remoteCTR1> Mikeher: you can of course try that but you can also google your error messages;)
[14:38] <remoteCTR1> DizzyDoo: if you wanna learn about communication between network devices see this here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/OSI
[14:38] <LeL> no one here knows how to connect to a checkpoint gateway using vpn??
[14:38] <stickystyle> Anyone know how I can tell what size RAM sticks (and count) I have in my computer while it's still running? /proc/meminfo really only tells me the total.
[14:39] <LeL> stickystyle: type top
[14:39] <remoteCTR1> LeL: sorry, ipcop gateway o'er here...
[14:39] <remoteCTR1> stickystyle: free
[14:39] <fosco_> stickystyle: lshw
[14:39] <remoteCTR1> ahh kk
[14:39] <LeL> damn... how stupid of checkpoint not to make a client
[14:39] <LeL> for linux
[14:39] <void_> wilsonnck: */2 04-21 * * * Should do it, right?
[14:40] <remoteCTR1> LeL: there is an openvpn for linux, the client must not be of the same brand as the server as the communication is standardized
[14:40] <stickystyle> fosco_:  lshw is the winner, thanks!
[14:40] <remoteCTR1> hehe
[14:40] <LeL> remoteCTR1: i've installed it using easy-rsa keys
[14:40] <LeL> but it's not working
[14:40] <remoteCTR1> easy-rsa?
[14:41] <LeL> and i dig'ed google the whole day, i can't find any article saying it works
[14:41] <rnk> Is there a way to mirror a ps file with pstops?
[14:42] <LeL> ah sorry already got confused.. i used the easy-rsa for my private network vpn
[14:42] <LeL> not the checkpoint one

[14:43] <rbd_> hey guys, using ubuntu 8.10 (alsa I believe by default). I have an old app, wavesurfer that wants to write to /dev/dsp. I tried doing a modprobe snd_pcm_oss and the module is loaded fine, /dev/dsp exists...but the app still gives an error of "cannot open /dev/dsp for writing". any ideas?
[14:43] <erUSUL> !ops | mendoza
[14:44] <remoteCTR1> lel easy-rsa should be ssl certificates, that should work with openvpn
[14:44] <burg> everytime i try to install ubuntu 8.10, the setup crashes. i have asus notebook with core2duo t5800, nvidia geforce 8200 videoboard
[14:44] <void_> wilsonnck: */2 04-21 * * * Should do it, right?
[14:44] <milligan_> find /mnt/backup/zips/* -mtime +6 -type f -delete <- That command will only remove files from /mnt/backup/zips/ folder ,right ?
[14:44] <burg> izinucs told me to add pci=nomsi to the options, but this didn`t fix it
[14:44] <wilsonnck> void_: yes I believe so
[14:44] <void_> wilsonnck: Great! Thanks.
[14:45] <LeL> Boohbah_: thanks alot mate, looks like that what i was looking for... now all i need is to set up this linux machine at work
[14:45] <LeL> :)
[14:46] <Boohbah_> rbd_: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup
[14:46] <Boohbah_> rbd_: padsp
[14:46] <wilsonnck> void_: np, enjoy the freedom!
[14:46] <Boohbah_> rbd_: "padsp wraps audio playback and capturing (/dev/dsp), mixer controls (/dev/mixer) and sound status (/dev/sndstat)."
[14:46] <burg> can anyone tell me what else should i do, please/
[14:47] <rnk> How would I go about turning a pdf file into a jpg, png or similiar?
[14:48] <Stroganoff> burg: try telling us which asus model it exactly is (so we might google for you). additionally you could try the alternate install ISO
[14:48] <Stroganoff> !alternate | burg
[14:48] <wilsonnck> rnk: If i'm not mistaken you can open PDFs in gimp now and save them as any imagetype you'd like
[14:49] <rnk> wilsonnck, ok, I'll try that. thanks.
[14:49] <Boohbah_> burg: at what point does the setup crash?
[14:49] <burg> Stroganoff: asus x50gl: core2duo t5800, 3gb ram, nvidia geforce 8200
[14:49] <chalcedony> rnk i had to get star office to take pdfs to other formats .. it's not nice and wasnt completely effective
[14:49] <burg> usually it crashes when the partitioner starts, but not always, sometimes it crashes before
[14:50] <wers> what repo will give me the latest flash? i'm on intrepid
[14:50] <wers> mebeam webcam doesnt work for me. i assume it's because of flash
[14:50] <burg> i tried to install it from 2 different discs, and both worked for my friends
[14:50] <Slart> wers: I don't think there is a repository for the latest flash

[14:51] <Slart> wers: are you using 32 or 64 bit ubuntu?
[14:51] <wers> 32 bit Slart
[14:51] <Davedan> is there a video effects software for ubuntu to create effects similar to animoto.com?
[14:51] <charchil> hay alguien en este chat????
[14:51] <charchil> ola jewbacca
[14:51] <Slart> wers: then you can get the latest flash plugin from adobe and install that..but you'll have to be prepared to fix any problems yourself.. going with the one in the repos is always the easiest way
[14:53] <Hybrid> ishai: does it work?
[14:54] <bugra> hi everybody
[14:56] <Jewbacca> hybrid :~>
[14:56] <Hybrid> Jewbacca: hey
[14:56] <burg> Boohbah_, Stroganoff: if i remember well, i could finish the install for 7.10, but after i installed video board driver, the screen was all black. can i install now 7.10, then update to 8.10, then install video driver?
[14:57] <gafir> Hi, is anybody familiar with Inkscape on Ubuntu: It appears I cannot use any of the raster effects - even though I try uninstalling and reinstalling Inkscape using Synaptic Manager - Any idea why I can't use Blur effects, colorize effects, etc? Thanks for your help
[14:57] <Slart> gafir: hang.. let me try.. see if it work for me
[14:57] <gafir> Slart: thanks
[14:58] <gafir> Slart: If I try to blur a shape or colorize a shape, nothing happens, I get the dialog box, but no effect
[14:58] <gafir> Slart: I don't think it ever worked on my machine.
[14:59] <ahmed> \j hacking
[15:00] <wots> hi ... i got problems sending emails from my shell
[15:01] <Slart> gafir: have you checked the status bar text when you select a tool from the raster set?
[15:01] <gafir> Slart: at the bottom, you mean?
[15:02] <Slart> gafir: yes
[15:02] <gafir> Slart: well I try blur, it says : "Path" (9 nodes) in layer glossy.
[15:02] <ahmed> Hi guys
[15:02] <gafir> Slart: I have my shape selected
[15:02] <Slart> gafir: no, before that.. when you just hoover above the blur option
[15:03] <Slart> gafir: it says "Blur selected bitmaps".. do you have any bitmaps selected?
[15:03] <gafir> Slart: well it's a shape, so I guess it's not a bitmap, sorry not very familiar with this
[15:03] <Level_5> anyone here using a broadcom wireless card model bcm4312?
[15:03] <gafir> Slart: I guess I have to convert the shape into a bitmap
[15:04] <Slart> gafir: I guess those filters only work on bitmap objects.. not the general vector objects you play around with in inkscape
[15:04] <Slart> gafir: yes, I think so too
[15:04] <mni> hi all
[15:04] <gafir> Slart: Ok, I'll try to find how to convert the shape into a bitmap, and then maybe it will work, thanks for your help Slart, I couldn't see the message in my status bar well because the drop down menu was hidnig it on my screen
[15:04] <mni> i need a q?

[15:11] <Duk_work> is there a reason why ubuntu would be restarting mysql once a day, every day?
[15:11] <Slart> Duk_work: not that I know of.. does it crash? or it's just a restart?
[15:11] <ikonia> Duk_work: conjob ? crash and auto restart
[15:11] <Pici> mni: You need to contact the address on the page I linked you for that info.  We don't have the information to give you to answer it.
[15:12] <ikonia> Duk_work: what makes you think it's restarting mysql ?
[15:12] <Jewbacca> hey guys, i need a little help, i need irc client that read culums font, so i could see ppl writing in hebrew :)
[15:12] <bugra> hello guys
[15:12] <ikonia> Jewbacca: most clients will read any language if your language pack on the OS supports it
[15:12] <Slart> Jewbacca: tried irssi? it shows all kinds of fonts for me.. I think xchat does that too
[15:12] <Jewbacca> mine support hebrew
[15:12] <etech> is there a ubuntu package for the original gnome wallpapers?
[15:12] <Jewbacca> everything its in hebrew
[15:13] <Jewbacca> but i cant see ppl write in hebrew
[15:13] <bugra> could i ask a question
[15:13] <ikonia> etech: nope
[15:13] <Jewbacca> on xchat
[15:13] <ikonia> bugra: please do
[15:13] <Slart> bugra: just ask
[15:13] <Jewbacca> slart? aka slarto? :DDDDDDDDD
[15:13] <Slart> Jewbacca: nope
[15:13] <Jewbacca> you have the same nick like a guy i know
[15:13] <Slart> Jewbacca: it happens.. Slart isn't a very original nickname
[15:14] <mni> ok
[15:14] <detrix> hello all.  I am having problems with playing ANY video.  mplayer just closes when it tries to play any video. I have downloaded all codecs.  any help appreciated
[15:14] <mni> thanks
[15:14] <bugra> i have hardy and i want to upgrade kernel to latest release. is there easy way or deb package at least?
[15:14] <ahmed> Guys I need to know about security channels
[15:14] <Slart> detrix: start the player from a terminal, play video, watch it crash.. check terminal for error messages
[15:14] <ahmed> can anybody tell me about it?
[15:14] <Pici> ahmed: /msg alis help or ask in #freenode
[15:14] <Slart> ahmed: there is a channel list
[15:14] <mni> if we want to invite people from ubuntu to attend the conference where should we channel the invitattion?
[15:14] <Slart> !irc | ahmed
[15:15] <ikonia> bugra: no, only updates for what ubuntu pushes out
[15:15] <detrix> Slart: thanx will try that
[15:15] <Jewbacca> so what can i do in order to see my friend write in hebrew? :(
[15:15] <bugra> thanks ikonia

[15:15] <chalcedony> does anyone know of a way to save and close open office files from command line?
[15:16] <Slart> chalcedony: do you mean use openoffice from a command line? or control an already running copy of openoffice from the command line?
[15:16] <ikonia> chalcedony: nope, it's gui only
[15:16] <cristi> hey, uhm i think i have a video driver problem, i have a nvidia geforce 9500m gs, can anyone help me see if they work properly?
[15:16] <chalcedony> Slart: i have a bunch of open office files open, some i'm sure i saved, or never altered, and some i'm not sure of. is there a command line way in LINUX to save and exit ?
[15:17] <Slart> doesn't openoffice have some non-gui stuff included? for use in scripts and such?
[15:17] <mni> any person interested in coming:http://dot.kde.org/2009/01/07/invite-kde-free-and-open-source-nigeria-2009
[15:17] <bugra> another question. there are always older versions on the software channel. is is related to stability and security. i mean they update the channel when they are sure that the software is ok?
[15:17] <Slart> chalcedony: no idea.. I doubt it
[15:17] <Jewbacca> so what can i do in order to see my friend write in hebrew on xchat? :x
[15:18] <chalcedony> it will *probably* save automatically if i killall it or kill -9 it .. i would rather be sure.
[15:18] <kitche> Jewbacca: install the correct language pack like we told you to do?
[15:18] <Slart> chalcedony: I think using kill -9 on it most probably will *not* save it
[15:18] <Duk_work> 090203  6:26:05109052277 Connect     paymutual_forumc@localhost on
[15:18] <chalcedony> Jewbacca: i have that same question
[15:18] <Duk_work> thats what
[15:18] <Jewbacca> kitche: i done that already
[15:18] <kitche> bugra: packages will only get a verison bump if it's a security issue and htat's it or until the next version release
[15:19] <Duk_work> it got restarted at system time 6:26
[15:19] <Pici> !latest | bugra
[15:19] <jrib> chalcedony: I'm pretty sure that if you try to close a window for an unsaved document oo will tell you
[15:19] <Slart> chalcedony: it will probably offer to recover the files when you start it again though.. if you've enable the auto save recovery data option
[15:19] <chalcedony> Slart: that's what i meant
[15:20] <bugra> thanks guys ;)
[15:20] <chalcedony> kitche: which language pack gives someone hebrew?
[15:20] <Slart> chalcedony: but why can't you just close it normally? did X crash? computer in some other end of the world?
[15:20] <chalcedony> for me hebrew shows up really strangely in xchat
[15:21] <Slart> Jewbacca: can you write hebrew in xchat? could you just write a small sample so we can see if it works?
[15:21] <Slart> Jewbacca: I just mean a couple of characters.. absolutely not more than one line
[15:21] <mni> any body interested:http://dot.kde.org/2009/01/07/invite-kde-free-and-open-source-nigeria-2009
[15:21] <Jewbacca> Slart: מה קורה
[15:21] <chalcedony> Slart: i do a LOT of writing and research. OO can be the last thing i need to close to resart the thing. it's just frustrating to need to wait half an hour for each file doing dumb steps to close 20 windows.
[15:21] <Jewbacca> look there are channels that i can see and write
[15:22] <Jewbacca> the guys there told me their channel support tfs8 something like that
[15:22] <Jewbacca> unicode
[15:22] <Slart> Jewbacca: I think that worked for me.. of course I don't know hebrew so I could be wrong
[15:22] <chalcedony> Jewbacca: that looks fine .. hebrew
[15:22] <Jewbacca> yea cuz your channel prolly support it
[15:22] <Jewbacca> but im on other server
[15:22] <Jewbacca> quakenet
[15:22] <chalcedony> Jewbacca: undernet ?
[15:22] <_VIM_> !enter
[15:22] <Slart> !imagebin
[15:23] <calc> chalcedony: afaik no way to save from the command line for OOo
[15:23] <fearful> sudo: must be setuid root I'm getting this error as I try to run a sudo command
[15:23] <ikonia> fearful: did you change the permissions on the sudo command ?
[15:23] <fearful> uh no
[15:23] <ikonia> fearful: you must have as it's no longer setuid
[15:23] <Pici> fearful: Are you in the admin group?
[15:23] <Slart> Jewbacca: this is what is looks like on my screen, http://imagebin.org/37521
[15:24] <Slart> Jewbacca: I run regular ubuntu 64bit, english version
[15:24] <ikonia> fearful: ls -la /usr/bin/sudo
[15:24] <fearful> I don't know, I just changed owners of a lot of folders and stuff because I moved them to a new partition, like home
[15:24] <chalcedony> calc: ty does anyone know kill -5 ?
[15:24] <calc> chalcedony: thats not a 100% certainty but if you can do it would be some sort of weird headless command sequence, killing it definitely doesn't save
[15:24] <fearful> -rwxr-xr-x 2 benjamin benjamin 115136 2008-09-01 07:17 /usr/bin/sudo
[15:24] <Pelo> some of my menu entries in nautilus are in the wrong language , anyone else get that ?
[15:24] <Slart> chalcedony: have you checked the man page for kill? I think there is a list of them somewhere
[15:24] <Jewbacca> yea its hebrew
[15:24] <calc> chalcedony: not sure what sig 5 is not documented in man 7 signal
[15:25] <izinucs> Slart, awesome.. how did you post that image to image bin with irssi?
[15:25] <Slart> izinucs: i run irssi in a gnome-terminal.. so no magic I'm afraid =)
[15:25] <calc> chalcedony: er yea it is, SIGTRAP
[15:25] <calc> chalcedony: i just overlooked it
[15:25] <fearful> ikonia: any ideas?
[15:25] <calc> chalcedony: SIGTRAP        5        Core    Trace/breakpoint trap
[15:25] <izinucs> Slart, cheeter :)
[15:26] <ikonia> fearful: ls -la /usr/bin/sudo
[15:26] <russia213> Hello?
[15:26] <ikonia> fearful: lets see the permisions
[15:26] <fearful> I did
[15:26] <Slart> izinucs: hehe.. surely there is a screen capture app for the command line?
[15:26] <fearful> -rwxr-xr-x 2 benjamin benjamin 115136 2008-09-01 07:17 /usr/bin/sudo
[15:26] <fearful> it's set to benjamin benjamin, shouldn't it be root benjamin
[15:26] <ikonia> fearful: it's not setuid
[15:26] <fearful> This is new for me :(
[15:26] <ikonia> fearful: it should be root:root and setuid
[15:26]  * calc runs irssi instead screen over ssh in gnome-terminal from ~ 10K miles away :)
[15:26]  * russia213 needs help with dual booting x.x
[15:26] <calc> fun lag
[15:26] <ikonia> fearful: you have changed the permissions
[15:27] <calc> s/instead/inside/
[15:27] <fearful> Yes I did when I moved home to a new folder I did, sudo chown -R benjamin:benjamin /
[15:27] <Slart> calc: irssi over ssh.. when you just have to run your irc client on the ISS =)
[15:27] <Jewbacca> Slart: how to use this irssi
[15:27] <izinucs> Slart, maybe .. not sure that's why I was asking.. do you know if there is an command line app like pastebinit for images?
[15:27] <Jack_Sparrow> russia213 INternal or external drives
[15:27] <calc> Slart: heh, i'm from Houston and in Berlin for the Jaunty sprint
[15:27] <ikonia> fearful: no - sudo is not in your home dir
[15:28] <russia213> External
[15:28] <fearful> huh?
[15:28] <Jack_Sparrow> russia213 How may I try to help
[15:28] <fearful> I changed the permissions of / not just /home
[15:28] <Slart> Jewbacca: it's like xchat..but run in a terminal.. look at http://irssi.org
[15:28] <Pici> fearful: Thats not a good thing.
[15:28] <fearful> :(
[15:28] <calc> irssi is much better than ircII :)
[15:28] <h0rnman> fearful: not good
[15:28] <Slart> izinucs: actually I'm looking for that right now.. it would be useful
[15:29] <Jewbacca> Slart: im new to ubuntu, i dont know any of these stuff
[15:29] <HoNgOuRu> where do I get "PNM-TOOLS" ?
[15:29] <izinucs> Slart, you running screen too?
[15:29] <fearful> anyway to rollback my actions, I had a lock on all the folders so I thought that would fix it
[15:29] <Jack_Sparrow> russia213 the problem with OS on external is when you remove the external and mbr points to a non  existent grub
[15:29] <russia213> I successfully installed Ubuntu on my 750GB external but when starting up it goes strait to windows
[15:29] <Slart> izinucs: nope... there are limits to my geekiness =)
[15:29] <russia213> Grub can see my external though
[15:30] <HoNgOuRu> where do I get "PNM-TOOLS" ?
[15:30] <Jack_Sparrow> russia213 YOu did not install grub to your mbr of the bootable drive
[15:30] <Pici> fearful: There really isn't anyway to undo that. Sudo bypasses everything.
[15:30] <calc> wow irssi is now 10 years old :)
[15:30] <fearful> So I gotta reinstall
[15:30] <russia213> can you help me with that? ^^()
[15:30] <Slart> izinucs: I tried using quassel for a while.. but it will have to evolve a bit more before it becomes useful for more than random visits to irc
[15:30] <izinucs> Slart, I just fired it up a couple days ago.. kinda tough working through some of the /helps out there. but once you have some of the basics down it's pretty cool
[15:31] <ikonia> fearful: you can boot into "safe mode" and re-set the permissions on sudo
[15:31] <h0rnman> russia213:  what version (specifically) of windows do you have installed?
[15:31] <russia213> XP sp3
[15:31] <ikonia> fearful: however if you did a chown -R it won't just be sudo that you need to reset - it will be the whole file system
[15:31] <Jack_Sparrow> russia213 My soultion is to boot /boot partition on the internal drive have mbr point to that which will let you boot both.  You can also make a bootable CD that will let you get to your external but you would lose the ability to use the cd
[15:31] <h0rnman> is it a corporate edition install, or did it require activation?
[15:31] <fearful> How could I do that? through the recovery terminal
[15:31] <ikonia> h0rnman: what does that matter ?
[15:32] <russia213> activation
[15:32]  * russia213 is a total n00b
[15:32] <ikonia> fearful: well, you can do it through the recovery console, however as I said you would have changed every file - which will need manually resetting back to the right permisisons which is a big job
[15:32] <h0rnman> ikonia:  I have had a problem with the corporate edition of XP reqriting the MBR every time you boot into it
[15:32] <russia213> Could you help me with that, Jack
[15:32] <Duk_work> AHHHAH!
[15:32] <ikonia> fearful: it is probably easier/quicker to re-install
[15:32] <Jack_Sparrow> russia213 sudo apt-get install pastebinit  && cp /etc/fstab ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && sudo fdisk -l >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && sudo blkid >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && lsb_release -a >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /boot/grub/menu.lst >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt | pastebinit  (Provide Pastebin link in channel)
[15:32] <Duk_work> syslogd is restarting mysql i think

[15:32] <fearful> Thank god I moved my home folder
[15:32] <fearful> lol
[15:33] <Wunderbar> how do I remove xubuntu from my machine?? I installed it from the synaptic in ubuntu and attempted to uninstall via the same means but it appears to still be there...
[15:33] <ikonia> Duk_work: no it's not
[15:33] <ikonia> Duk_work: syslog can't do that
[15:33] <Duk_work> why can't it
[15:33] <Jack_Sparrow> !puregnome
[15:33] <ikonia> Duk_work: because it's a logging daemon, nothing more
[15:33] <ikonia> Duk_work: it has no idea how or permissons how to restart mysql
[15:33] <izinucs> Jack_Sparrow, you must have had that line in a buffer/file someplace.. :)
[15:33] <n8tuser> Wunderbar -> perhaps an additional step is to remove  ~/.config  and re-log in
[15:33] <fearful> ikonia: If I have moved /home to a seperate partition will it keep all my codecs and settings when I just wipe my filesystem/
[15:34] <Duk_work> ikonia: what else could it be?
[15:34] <Jack_Sparrow> izinucs yep, with many others
[15:34] <Wunderbar> thanks, Ill try that
[15:34] <Hikeractive> I'm using wubi and have installed Intrepid. Why can't I change the default GDM theme? I CAN, it just doesn't stick. I managed to swap out the default Human theme with the custom theme so that it loads the new one as "Human", but I can't change the background color to anything other than brown. Anyone heard of this?
[15:34] <ikonia> fearful: your codecs are installed in the system - not your home dir normally
[15:34] <ikonia> Duk_work: what is the problem exactly ?
[15:34] <unop> Jack_Sparrow,  { cat /etc/fstab ; sudo fdisk -l ; sudo blkid ; lsb_release -a ; cat /boot/grub/menu.lst } | pastebinit  # :)
[15:34] <Duk_work> ikonia: once a day, at the same time every day, mysql restarts
[15:34] <fearful> Ok thanks
[15:34] <ikonia> Duk_work: and how do you know that ?
[15:34] <Duk_work> ikonia: the DB is unaccessible for that time frame
[15:34] <Duk_work> about 4 minutes
[15:35] <ikonia> Duk_work: that doesn't mean it restarts
[15:35] <n8tuser> Hikeractive -> if you are ready for a permanent install, do it, some stuff in wubi are just demo i believe, so its time to make it persistent install ?
[15:35] <Duk_work> the last log shows it as having started on that day
[15:35] <ikonia> Duk_work: what last log ?
[15:35] <russia213> Jack_Sparrow: Can you help me with your instructions?
[15:35] <ikonia> Duk_work: be exact - expalin to me how you got to this conclusion
[15:35] <Duk_work>  head /var/log/mysql/mysql.log

[15:36] <Wunderbar> another question, how do I make abi word connect with firefox instead of epiphany?
[15:37] <Hikeractive> I plan on it. n8tuser.. I'm a linux only user, but I just got a new computer last night and must wait until I get to the store and purchase DVDs (I need 3) to make backup restore disks for Vista and other software drivers. I want them just in case, since this Atheros wifi seemed touchy.

[15:37] <ikonia> Duk_work: look in the syslog
[15:37] <TheBase> I'm running gutsy and the a library called libnl-dev. Gutsy only has the 1.0 but I need the 1.1 which is only available on the distro above Gutsy. I can't just install another distro. Is there anything that I can do about it?
[15:37] <ikonia> TheBase:  not really
[15:37] <fosco_> Wunderbar: menu system - preferences - preferred apps
[15:37] <xsg> Hey guys do any of the movie editors support the .mov codec or no do i have to install seperatly
[15:37] <ikonia> TheBase:  you need to upgrade to the distro that supports that package
[15:38] <Duk_work> ikonia: cat syslog | grep mysql  returns nothing
[15:38] <Hikeractive> xsg, I think VLC might.
[15:38] <TheBase> ikonia, :(
[15:38] <ikonia> TheBase: or log a bug to request a backport - but as gutsy is almost EOL - I don't think they would do it
[15:38] <TheBase> ikonia, why is it still using the 1.0?
[15:38] <xsg> yeh it does i said movie editor like a video editor
[15:38] <izinucs> TheBase, upgrade.. is your /home in a seperate partition? if so upgrading can be easy
[15:38] <ikonia> TheBase: why should it upgrade ?
[15:38] <jrib> TheBase: gutsy is only supported for 2 more months anyway, so you might as well update
[15:38] <ikonia> Duk_work: what dir are you in ?
[15:38] <Wunderbar> firefox is already my preferred browser- and there's not option for browsers in abiword...
[15:38] <izinucs> !upgrade | TheBase
[15:38] <Duk_work> ikonia: /var/log
[15:39] <oCean_> Duk_work: check processID in /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid .. Use "ps -ef | grep <mysqlpid>" to see when it's started
[15:39] <xsg>  yeh it does i said movie editor like a video editor that allows you to import a .mov video and edit

[15:39] <robocop> hello.
[15:39] <nisc> who wants to be my native-english-speaking read-some-400-words-of-mine-and-look-for-wrong-style-slave
[15:39] <TheBase> izinucs, I can't. I'm running a distribution full of Mobile IPv6 stuff that was built with a Gutsy
[15:40] <Duk_work> ikonia: on the 18th
[15:40] <VAIOTZ> hello
[15:40] <ikonia> Duk_work: ok - so it's not been restarted since the 18th
[15:40] <jrib> !ot | nisc
[15:40] <Duk_work> hmm....
[15:40] <TheBase> ikonia, so that's what backport is... anyway I'll see what I can do
[15:40] <ikonia> duck anything in mysql.err or mysql.log ?
[15:40] <TheBase> thanks
[15:40] <Duk_work> ikonia: what would cause 4 minutes of inaccessability once a day at the same time every day?
[15:40] <izinucs> TheBase, what are you going to do at end of life for Gutsy?  At least Hardy has 3 yrs support
[15:41] <TheBase> izinucs, I know.
[15:41] <Duk_work> ikonia: error log is empty
[15:41] <vincent040> does anyone know how to run .exe files in ubuntu? ps: I hate to use wine or virtualbox ......
[15:41] <ikonia> Duk_work: a batch job, a network issue, have you tried accessing the database from the mysql command line while it's "unavailable" or just through the front end ?
[15:41] <ikonia> vincent040: then you can't
[15:41] <ikonia> vincent040: wine/crossover is the only solution
[15:41] <TheBase> izinucs, I think I'll try to run a newer Ubuntu with the MIPv6 stuff.
[15:41] <robocop> Is gnome of ubuntu use special application to improve the wireless connection, because, since I revomed gnome and installed openbox, my wifi is very instable.
[15:41] <robocop> ?
[15:41] <jrib> vincent040: use a native linux alternative
[15:41] <TheBase> izinucs, thanks
[15:41] <izinucs> TheBase, got any room on the HD. partition and install Hardy for dual boot then take your time porting all you've done across.
[15:42] <izinucs> TheBase, that works.. remember everything that isn't LTS gets 18 mths support
[15:42] <TheBase> izinucs, yes. That will be my workaround for a few days
[15:42] <Level_5> anyone here using the broadcom bcm4312 rev 2 driver with Hardy? If so please advise...Need some configuration help
[15:42] <Duk_work> ikonia: just through the websites that use it, that can no longer access it
[15:42] <ikonia> Duk_work: then I would try accessing it directly while it's supposed to be down
[15:43] <ikonia> Duk_work: rarther then through a front end
[15:43] <Duk_work> i think i will attempt to be logged in for the duration, see if it's accessible
[15:47] <rainmanp7> is it possible to have 2 connections to the internet 1via a cable and the other via a usb adapter ?
[15:47] <ikonia> rainmanp7: multi connections routing to the internet is not a good idea, why do you want two ?
[15:48] <rainmanp7> ikonia so I can test to see if the USB wireless is working or can work at all
[15:48] <Duk_work> multi homing and BGP FTW! \o/
[15:48] <ikonia> rainmanp7: disconnect your cable to test it
[15:48] <darko> i wanna connect to website thru ssh on a diffrent port then 22 how?
[15:48] <rainmanp7> ikonia I need it to work on a differn't machine across the house so i can install ubuntu and plug it in and know it's going to work
[15:48] <n8tuser> darko -> the other end (server) has to serve it on a diff port than 22
[15:49] <rainmanp7> ikonia K will try that
[15:49] <ikonia> rainmanp7: ok - so why do you need both connections active at the same time to test it ?
[15:49] <Co_Cuppid> mlem
[15:49] <rainmanp7> one so i can search on the net for error crap and the other reason so I can talk and just plug it in and test it with out lossing internet cabaility
[15:49] <insurin> for some reason after about 2 days of my ubuntu being on, I lose sound. To get it working again I do a reboot, is  there a way to restart sound via /etc/init.d
[15:50] <darko> n8tuser: it is, on port 100, but i dont know to change the port from ubuntu
[15:50] <ikonia> rainmanp7: as soon as you plug it in and it works your routing will be messed up and it will kill both connections
[15:50] <ikonia> rainmanp7: hence why you need to test with one connection at a time
[15:50] <Co_Cuppid> ..
[15:50] <ikonia> Co_Cuppid: what's the problem ?
[15:50] <rainmanp7> ikonia ok so uplug the cable and boot up ?
[15:50] <ikonia> rainmanp7: with the usb key in, yes
[15:50] <jken146> insurin: /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart
[15:51] <rainmanp7> ikonia ok here go's :)
[15:51] <insurin> danke
[15:51] <n8tuser> darko -> your ssh client has the option -p    man ssh  to get an overview of all options
[15:51] <jken146> insurin: that is, if you're on intrepid
[15:51] <insurin> I am

[15:53] <ksamrat_>  i have an issue with libtool 2.2.6. Some of the devel packages im using were providing .la files for linking. Now .la files have been removed and im forced to use .so files instead. Is there any way to force libtool to use .so names instead of .la?
[15:53] <richy> heshamwhite: again, expand on your question
[15:53] <ksamrat_>  which is the best channel for libtool related queries?
[15:53] <n8tuser> darko -> thats if the server is at your end
[15:53] <ikonia> ksamrat_: not here
[15:54] <insurin> jken146: can you shed any light on why the sound suddenly stops working, I alwyas leave it logged on, i'll finish watching a new world order documentry on the night, go to work the day after and it stops working
[15:54] <adam_> can anyone explain why 'sort -n' will sort '0,t,4' and 'sort -g' sorts it 't,0,4'. Does 't' have a higher numeric value than 0?
[15:54] <adam_> the man page is terribly helpful
[15:54] <richy> adam_ the ascii value of t is higher than 0?
[15:54] <vincent040> my WINE can open an exe file's cover page, and that's all..... how to configure WINE to make it run exe files right?
[15:54] <epictetus> insurin: that happens to me too, on a Dell laptop
[15:54] <jken146> insurin: I don't know
[15:54] <richy> vincent040: what are you tyrin to run?
[15:55] <darko> n8tuser:  my webhost says that he opened the 100 port so i can connect to the website, i just need the correct syntax to out in the terminal
[15:55] <vincent040> an exe book
[15:55] <adam_> richy: what's the difference between general numeric value and string numeric value?
[15:55] <Jewbacca> Slart: i asked on israeli forum, they told me to write charset windows-1255
[15:55] <Jewbacca> and now its working
[15:55] <Jewbacca> :>
[15:55] <Slart> Jewbacca: ah.. nice
[15:55] <insurin> epictetus: jken146 has sent the command to restart sound
[15:55] <n8tuser> darko -> you can ssh -p 100 -l username@remoteip
[15:55] <richy> adam_: general numeric i would presume would be lik 1 for the number 1 whereas string numeric value mayb the ascii value
[15:56] <adam_> richy: Gotcha, thanks
[15:56] <vincent040> wine can open the cover page, but can not open any pages in the contents when I double click the cover page
[15:56] <richy> vincent040: have you checked for your .exe file in wines appdb
[15:56] <vincent040> could anybody help me to figure this out, I am really appreciate  !

[15:57] <judgen> Why does the mount -t ntfs-3g process use a all my cpu power when running a vmware workstation from the ntfs drive?
[15:57] <richy> http://appdb.winehq.org/
[15:58] <vincent040> like this: abc.exe
[15:58] <calc> judgen: because ntfs is slow
[15:58] <ikonia> vincent040: #winehq maybe a better channel for wine specific help
[15:58] <richy> vincent040: open terminal -> goto directory, and enter wine abc.exe
[15:58] <kitche> judgen: because you should not be running a vmware workstation from a ntfs drive
[15:58] <kuccio> dis:
[15:58] <richy> and post any errors etc?
[15:58] <vincent040> thank you very much! I will try!
[15:59] <judgen> kitche: well.. the computer does not have a large enough ext partition to run it from there...
[15:59] <darko> n8tuser:  thanks dude/dudete that worked
[15:59] <fucu> Help please having trouble connecting to the net read the help pages but still unable to connect how can i change the default internet connection from eth 2 to eth 1 and change the settings ie primary setting are wrong.
[15:59] <NicDumZ> judgen, actually, a high level VM access drives a lot more thant usual OS. Since ntfs is slow, and... a bit experimental under linux, you should not do this I guess.
[15:59] <heshamwhite> ok i have Laptop Fujitsu Siemens V5535 with Vga  sis661/671 chipset and the resolution stuck at 800*600 and there is no more resolutions in preferences>> "screen resolutions" so i want to use my default resolution 1280*1024
[15:59] <Mikeher> while starting up the ubuntu installation i run into a lot of "buffer i/o error on device x, logical block" errors before it proceeds to the gui where it freezes :s

[16:00] <MatBoy> does someone know a embedded touchscreen where I can run ubuntu on ?
[16:00] <failers> Mikeher sounds like a faulty disc
[16:00] <spz> hi
[16:01] <failers> Mikeher either a broken disc or it just cant read a file from the disc by some reason
[16:01] <spz> I got xfce, but gnome-desktop starts up everytime I boot
[16:01] <heshamwhite> now i know that but it is integrated so it would be harmful to get a new laptop for this problem
[16:01] <jken146> spz, click on Change Session before you log in
[16:01] <izinucs> heshamwhite, you might look in System>admin>synaptic package manager and search for sis.. see if the drivers are loaded.. if so you may need to edit xorg.conf and see what driver is listed there... you may just have to change it to sis.
[16:02] <rainmanp7> ok If I'm installing allot of linux workstations to help a company out and they want to keep the microsoft server with users and usernames etc.. is it possible to have the workstations log into the domain ?

[16:04] <HUNTER_byte> How to force installation of 32-bit packages from repository for my 64 system? I'd like to do it with aptitude(or similar) so it could pull in depended packages.
[16:04] <Frederick> folks I got ubuntu working great in my box but I want to buy a secon hd and install another distro on it. Can I install the distro, do not install lilo and somehow just reconfiguire lilo automatically from ubuntu?
[16:04] <ikonia> HUNTER_byte: you don't
[16:04] <richy> Frederick:You wouldnt jus partition?
[16:04] <ikonia> HUNTER_byte: you install 64bit software on a 64bit system, or 32bit package from teh 32bit repo as they will have been setup to use 32bit compatability libraries on a 64bit system
[16:04] <Karlicious> Hey. Where is the command line/terminal window on Ubuntu desktop?
[16:04] <izinucs> Frederick, you're using lilo?  if it was grub I know on install it will set itself up
[16:04] <failers> Mikeher no i meant your installation dvd or cd disc is by some reason either broken or unreadeble it can be ubuntu that has problems using the cdrom
[16:05] <BassKozz> Hello, I have a WOL script (http://pastebin.com/m5199e61a) that I would like to run at bootup; I've added it to /etc/init.d and ran 'update-rc.d wake-NAS.sh default' and rebooted and it worked, however there are 2 problems. (1) it also runs at shutdown, which I DON'T want (2) because it contains "sleep 5m" it also makes my bootup time 5minutes longer... Is there a way to get this script to run in the background at bo
[16:05] <BassKozz> otup so that it doesn't make my boot 5minutes longer? and how can I get this to NOT run at shutdown?
[16:05] <ikonia> Karlicious: applicatons -> accessories
[16:05] <Karlicious> thank you
[16:05] <Frederick> izinucs: it is grub
[16:05] <calc> BassKozz: read man update-rc.d
[16:05] <spz> jken146: it seems that gnome-desktop starts because of the gnome-powermanager in the xfce-panel
[16:05] <izinucs> Frederick, then it's easy.. when you install it will update grub for dual boot..
[16:05] <calc> BassKozz: edit the script to remove the sleep 5m
[16:05] <rainmanp7> ikonia that dumb usb adapter trennet thing never got picked up on boot I have to put the MAC Address in the router anyway I wanted to see if it would pickup the device and it did but labled it somthing differn't
[16:05] <Frederick> izinucs: in fact try-boot ;)
[16:05] <Mikeher> failers: but the disc passes the cd test :s
[16:06] <ikonia> rainmanp7: ok
[16:06] <izinucs> Frederick, nice.. if you're just playing you might consider doing all that in a VM
[16:06] <calc> BassKozz: or set it to be the last thing started in the run level
[16:06] <BassKozz> calc: the 'sleep 5m' line is nessesary because it needs to wait for 5minutes for my NAS to bootup before trying to 'mount -a'
[16:06] <calc> BassKozz: ah ok
[16:06] <calc> BassKozz: set it to be the last thing in the run level to run
[16:06] <Frederick> izinucs: no infact I want to see if gentoo is worth using if there is some real gain on speed and stuff
[16:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Mikeher If you are working on a Dell or HP then reburn the iso at the slowest possible speed.. Yes, even though it passes the self test
[16:06] <failers> Mikeher ok im not the best person to ask but that error is meaning it have problems reading some data from the cd
[16:06] <BassKozz> calc: does 'man update.rc' explain 'run level' ?
[16:07] <rainmanp7> ikonia is there like a plug in and not worry about configuration for hardware webpage
[16:07] <vincent040> how to check winedb?
[16:07] <izinucs> Frederick, since I think you're compiling everything for your machine, you'll probably see a speed increase..

[16:07] <Frederick> izinucs: not sure how much I would feel it, as ubuntu is also architecture aimed.
[16:07] <Mikeher> i'm using iso recorder v3.. could that be a problem?
[16:08] <failers> Mikeher if you got plenty of cds home i suggest you should reburn it and use lower speeds
[16:08] <calc> BassKozz: not sure where run levels are documented
[16:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Mikeher no, that is a good program.. What type of PC or laptop?
[16:08] <vincent040> how to check winedb?
[16:08] <failers> Mikeher but it still might be that ubuntu just got problems using your cdrom
[16:08] <spexi> Hi. I got finally x started properly, I started live cd with safe graphics mode. If I now choose to install ubuntu with safe graphics mode, will the first restart be also with safe graphics mode and then I can try reconfigure some settings to get it working normally?
[16:08] <Jack_Sparrow> !appdb
[16:08] <Mikeher> Jack_Sparrow, failers: i actually used my last cd on ubuntu :P i have a dvd-rw.. i'll try reburning that
[16:08] <zenit> Mikeher: iso recorder should work, but I have had the same problems as you.
[16:08] <ikonia> vincent040: you may want to ask in #winehq for wine specific help
[16:08] <izinucs> Frederick, but not built specifically for your machine
[16:08] <Gnimsh> hi
[16:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Mikeher  What type of PC or laptop?
[16:09] <failers> Mikeher if you got a usb stick near by why not use that one :P ?
[16:09] <jken146> spexi: no
[16:09] <spexi> :s
[16:09] <failers> Mikeher if your bios ofc support usb boot ^^
[16:09] <zenit> Mikeher: try to burn the cd in disk at once mode (dao) if you have a program to do it with
[16:09] <zenit> Mikeher: cdrecord -dao works
[16:09] <Gnimsh> I just wanted to ask about reinstalling when you have /home on its own partition
[16:09] <calc> BassKozz: google ubuntu run levels might help you out
[16:09] <zenit> or.. burn a dvd :)
[16:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Gnimsh Sure, what is the question
[16:09] <BassKozz> calc: ok, thx
[16:09] <Gnimsh> I'm not sure if I would have to tell the installer to use the pre-existing home partition, and if I did that, if it would be rewritten.
[16:10] <Frederick> izinucs: yup
[16:10] <Mikeher> Jack_Sparrow: a laptop.. medion
[16:10] <Gnimsh> or how to preserve the data on home, and still use it in a new install
[16:10] <jken146> Gnimsh: It will only be reqwritten if you tell it to format that partition.  Don't tick that box.
[16:10] <Gnimsh> ok
[16:10] <ikonia> Gnimsh: back it up - or use /home on a seperate partition
[16:10] <kaankanat> hi guys :P
[16:10] <Mikeher> failers: i have a usb disc but don't know hos to use it for installing ubuntu
[16:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Gnimsh It will use pre-existing /home, just partition manually select /home for the mount point under manual partitioning and do not put a check in the box that says format this partititon
[16:10] <Frederick> but I need an extra disk I got only 320gb on hd
[16:10] <spexi> So what should I do to get ubuntu working well.. I'm not sure why I get blank screen and "out of range" text but safe graphics mode helps with that..
[16:11] <Frederick> too few for windows and 2 linux
[16:11] <Gnimsh> cool
[16:11] <vincent040> :(  no one in the #winehp channel
[16:11] <Frederick> as I have a lot of data
[16:11] <Mikeher> zenit: cdrecord -dao.. what is that for?
[16:11] <Gnimsh> thanks
[16:11] <failers> !unetbootin
[16:11] <jken146> spexi: Is this only with the live cd?
[16:11] <ikonia> vincent040: #winehq
[16:11] <spexi> jken146: also when I try to start install
[16:11] <vincent040> yes, no one in that channel
[16:11] <spexi> it load with the scrolling bar and then nothing
[16:11] <failers> Mikeher http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNetbootin
[16:11] <Gnimsh> also, my / partition is 15 BG and it says 1.1 GB is free
[16:11] <jken146> spexi: use the alternate CD
[16:11] <Gnimsh> I didn't realize the system took up so much space
[16:11] <failers> Mikeher its even easier to use then a burning program :D
[16:11] <spexi> that cd works with my laptop
[16:11] <Gnimsh> but 1.1 GB should be enough right?
[16:11] <cemc> hi. i just upgraded my ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 on my laptop. now when gnome starts i get some xkb starting error, and my left arrow key isn't working
[16:12] <spexi> so I think that it's problem with my 19" lcd/ati hd 3850
[16:12] <ikonia> Gnimsh: the system by default is just under 2GB
[16:12] <jken146> Gnimsh: A fresh install takes about 2.2 GB
[16:12] <Gnimsh> k
[16:12] <zenit> Mikeher: disk at once mode, that solves the buffer i/o errors for me at least. I burned several cd's and got buffer i/o errors on them, but after the drive settled they were readable.
[16:12] <Gnimsh> so everything else is probably just repos I added, etc
[16:12] <horstle> hi
[16:12] <xayon> net
[16:12] <zenit> Mikeher: it's of course possible that there is something wrong with the cd you made, but I doubt it since you used iso recorder.
[16:13] <Skriptkiddie> hello
[16:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Gnimsh YOu need to trim that down.  burn to a cd.. /var/cache/apt/archives
[16:13] <spexi> maybe ubuntu somehow is thinking my lcd monitor to be bigger than it really is, so that's why it tries wrong resolution or something
[16:13] <adam_> .
[16:13] <Gnimsh> why do I need to save those, Jack_Sparrow?
[16:13] <adam_> !terminal > adam_
[16:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Gnimsh so you dont have to download them again after you reinstall
[16:14] <Skriptkiddie> hello
[16:14] <Jack_Sparrow> !aptoncd
[16:14] <Skriptkiddie> can any 1 help me?
[16:14] <Gnimsh> whoa neat
[16:15] <Gnimsh> Will that work even between 8.04 and 8.10?
[16:15] <ikonia> Skriptkiddie: if you ask a question we can try
[16:15] <vigo> Skriptkiddie: ask away
[16:15] <Gnimsh> that entire folder is only 42.8 MB
[16:15] <Skriptkiddie> any 1 knows how to make windows transparent in ubuntu?
[16:16] <jken146> Gnimsh: you don't need aptoncd if you're just going to use the packages once.  Just copy the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives to a usb stick and back into the same place on the new install.  Then run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[16:16] <ikonia> Skriptkiddie: in gnome-termina, do edit, -> profile -> change the profile and move the transparancy slider
[16:16] <jken146> Skriptkiddie: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager then run ccsm and play around
[16:16] <izinucs> spexi, it typically either the wrong driver, or it's not reading the refresh rates correctly or something when wrong when trying to figure out what the native resolution is.
[16:16] <Jewbacca> anyone here is into video games?
[16:16] <ikonia> Jewbacca: why ?
[16:17] <ikonia> Jewbacca: does this have to do with ubuntu upport ?
[16:17] <ikonia> support ?
[16:17] <Jewbacca> hmm yes, i want to install enemy territory
[16:17] <Skriptkiddie> i tried that all. I need every windows to be transparent
[16:17] <wolter> Why is windows networking so unstable on ubuntu? Sometimes I am able to see shares, others I am not.
[16:17] <ikonia> Skriptkiddie: then you need to use compiz settings manager
[16:17] <Skriptkiddie> volta use samba
[16:17] <Dillizar> !libgphoto
[16:18] <Slart> Jewbacca: always ask the real question.. starting off with a "does anybody use " or such just creates more text to read
[16:18] <Jewbacca> does anyone know how to install enemy territory on linux
[16:18] <Skriptkiddie> thank you
[16:18] <Gnimsh> Skriptkiddie, its easy with compiz
[16:18] <Dillizar> does any body knows what is  libgphoto ??
[16:18] <Slart> Jewbacca: yes.. you download a big file from somewhere.. it's an installer.. you run that and it installs the game for you
[16:18] <Gnimsh> just hold down alt and pull the mousewheel back
[16:18] <Vinceman> why doesn't it say how big the programs are in synaptic? nowadays people have overkill big harddisks anyway?
[16:18] <Slart> Jewbacca: do you have the install file?
[16:19] <Jewbacca> yep, but do i need to use the terminal?
[16:19] <izinucs> Jewbacca, I think you can get a .deb on www.getdeb.net
[16:19] <Slart> Jewbacca: yes
[16:19] <Jewbacca> whats that?
[16:19] <Skriptkiddie> but how? I tried it many times.
[16:19] <Skriptkiddie> any website?
[16:19] <vincent040> sorry to bother~ where to check the channel list?
[16:19] <adam_> ls
[16:19] <Slart> !irc | vincent040
[16:19] <Gnimsh> Install the compiz settings manager firt
[16:19] <Jack_Sparrow> !irc
[16:19] <Skriptkiddie> I searched google
[16:19] <ikonia> vincent040: join #freenode to ask for freenode help
[16:19] <jken146> Skriptkiddie: I told you
[16:19] <russia213> Anyone willing to give me VERY specific advice?
[16:20] <Gnimsh> open up synaptic and type ccsm
[16:20] <Slart> vincent040: or /list
[16:20] <Skriptkiddie> but no solution
[16:20] <Slart> russia213: just ask
[16:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Skriptkiddie /join #compiz     It is easy enough to do
[16:20] <jken146> Skriptkiddie: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager, then run ccsm
[16:20] <vigo> I wish to make another user account, I do want some admin or root accesses, I wish for the other user to download and play, how do I do that?
[16:21] <Skriptkiddie> ok I will try
[16:21] <mayank> i have compaq, cq40, just installed ubuntu 8.10, but no audio..any can help?
[16:21] <russia213> I installed Ubuntu on an external hard drive, and I don't know how to configure/fix Grub and/or my BIOS to boot the external
[16:21] <jken146> vigo: Use the Users and Groups thing, in System > Administration.  Tick the box Allow this user to 'administer the system'
[16:21] <vigo> Thank you
[16:21] <Skriptkiddie> russia , can you see the boot menu
[16:22] <mayank> whenever i start ubunttu,,,drum music comes..and continue...............??????????????????
[16:22] <rainmanp7> anyone Know if Samba is fast enough to handle undreds or more users at a time ?
[16:22] <russia213> ScriptKiddie: No
[16:22] <gordonjcp> rainmanp7: depends on the server, and the connection
[16:22] <gordonjcp> rainmanp7: SMB itself typically doesn't scale well to hundreds of users
[16:22] <jken146> russia213: can you get into your BIOS setup?
[16:23] <filthpig> Jewbacca: then ask your question if you're having problems.
[16:23] <Jewbacca> ok i got a question, i have DeathAdder mouse, how i set 500hz polling rate and 400dpi? also how to get my G15 keyboard drivers?
[16:23] <Jack_Sparrow> russia213 Install again but this time write grub to the MBR of the internal hard drive
[16:23] <filthpig> whooooa
[16:23] <filthpig> sorrrrry all
[16:23] <russia213> Jack_Sparrow: I need help with that, please be more specific
[16:23] <rainmanp7> gordonjcp well if not samba then what should I use ? to ahndle allot of people
[16:23] <filthpig> haaa! my scrollbar had stopped following the progression here some time ago. /me runs and hides in shame
[16:24] <Jack_Sparrow> russia213 Install again,                     but this time when the installer asks where to install grub      write grub to the MBR of the internal hard drive
[16:24] <gordonjcp> rainmanp7: try it and see
[16:24] <mayank> i have compaq, cq40, just installed ubuntu 8.10, but no audio..any can help?
[16:24] <Jack_Sparrow> rainmanp7 What are you trying to do on that server?
[16:25] <vincent040> I /list
[16:25] <Jewbacca> how to install thunderbird on linux
[16:25] <spexi> izinucs: ok
[16:26] <Stroganoff> Jewbacca: you have to edit xorg.conf like this guy did: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=393033
[16:26] <rainmanp7> Jack_Sparrow all the users need to do is login have there own wallpaper etc.. and bookmarks for the internet and there are mabey like 897 users in the windows 2000 server and this company is sick and tired of all the mallware and viruses so they want to try ubuntu
[16:26] <whatev> i read that ubuntu has all networking ports by default. how can i open some, say port 80, for installing an apache server?
[16:26] <Dillizar> how can i update my usb drivers
[16:26] <Stroganoff> Jewbacca: you can install thunderbird with synaptic or apt-get
[16:26] <Jewbacca> yea apt-get thats terminal, now let me do this myself
[16:26] <Jewbacca> does the cmd is sudo apt-get install thunderbird
[16:26] <Stroganoff> yes

[16:27] <jami> Hi. I have a problem after upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10. I'm using a nvidia graphic card and the windows displayed in gnome have no borders and no titlebar. I've read about some solutions but they won't work. If you call a window it will be created with titlebar but after loading it disapears
[16:28] <rainmanp7> Kack_Sparrow it has to do with users dowloading all sorts of screwed up crap and slow login like anyware from 15-45 second login times
[16:28] <Commie_Cary> is there a alernitive to pluseaudio>
[16:28] <jami> no pulseaudio
[16:28] <jami> jack
[16:29] <rainmanp7> Jack_Sparrow it has to do with users dowloading all sorts of screwed up crap and slow login like anyware from 15-45 second login times and I can boot ubuntu before they even see there desktop
[16:29] <Commie_Cary> jami, but then ill have no sound...
[16:29] <yao_ziyuan> i ls /tmp and found there is a "ssh-XXXXXXXXXX" folder
[16:29] <jami> why? you can use alsa directly
[16:30] <yao_ziyuan> in it there is a file "agent.5745"
[16:30] <yao_ziyuan> does this mean i am hacked?
[16:30] <Commie_Cary> jami, if I remove pluseaudio will everything automadicly work
[16:30] <wolter> hi, i am having this error <Unable to start backend "smb" - No such file or directory.> while trying to print to a windows machine on my network... what does it mean?
[16:31] <jami> hm i don't think it will work automagical
[16:31] <jami> which applications you want use
[16:31] <franki> Commie_Cary: i removed pulseaudio a few days ago and everything worked automagically for me, but it depends on your soundcard's ability to hardware mix, i believe..
[16:31] <Commie_Cary> firefox, urban terror, xchat, nxuiz, scortch 3d, and much much more
[16:32] <jami> often there are configuration where you can set soundengine or output plugin
[16:32] <jami> pulseaudio is not the same like alsa
[16:32] <wolter> Commie_Cary, do you have alsa enabled for all?
[16:32] <jami> pulseaudio is a layer above
[16:32] <Commie_Cary> jami, well I can just reinstall PA if it dosnt work right
[16:32] <Commie_Cary> wolf2385, wha?
[16:32] <jami> jep
[16:33] <Commie_Cary> well what package is pluseaudio
[16:33] <rainmanp7>  I have 3 devices that are USB and 2 Wireless USB adapters I would like see supported. I own them and can scan them etc.. and give reports ->any ideas
[16:33] <Commie_Cary> well what package is pluseaudio!
[16:34] <Commie_Cary> jami, what package is pluseaudio
[16:34] <blck> hi, how can i start servives without login
[16:34] <whatev> i read that ubuntu has all networking ports by default. how can i open some, say port 80, for installing an apache server?
[16:34] <Commie_Cary> >_<
[16:34] <jken146> blck: put them in initscripts
[16:34] <jami> Commie_Cary  in the pulseaudio package. btw alsaconf unset-pulseaudio / set-pulseaudio
[16:34] <Jack_Sparrow> rainmanp7 One suggestion is to buy supported hardware when you are having hundred plus users
[16:35] <blck> so same for the internetconnection?
[16:35] <jken146> whatev: just install apache
[16:35] <Jack_Sparrow> !lamp
[16:35] <jken146> ! apache | whatev
[16:35] <hardcorelamer> what package do I install to get the program "aticonfig" ?
[16:35] <Twigathy> I have a weird problem with pulseaudio. I have a digital and an analogue output on my sound card and I use pulse to mix together sounds and vomit them out of the digital port. A recent update to pulse seems to have broken this for flash - I get sound from flash out of the analogue outputs and not digital ones, and the pa volume meter shows nothing ...
[16:35] <Twigathy> Can anyone help? :D
[16:35] <rainmanp7> Kack_Sparrow hehe I know
[16:35] <Commie_Cary> jami, what is it called
[16:35] <jami> pulseaudio
[16:35] <blck> jken146 how to i do that?
[16:35] <rainmanp7> Jack_Sparrow hehe I know
[16:35] <Commie_Cary> jami, dosnt exist
[16:35] <whatev> lamp is a terrible term because postgres is superior open source database to mysql in almost all ways. it's good marketing though for mysql, ugh
[16:35] <jken146> !init.d
[16:35] <Commie_Cary> !info pluseaudio intrepid
[16:36] <Commie_Cary> >_>
[16:36] <jken146> !initscript
[16:36] <jken146> !init
[16:36] <Jack_Sparrow> rainmanp7 Seriously, you can save yourself a lot of headaches and frustration
[16:36] <Jewbacca> ok i got a question, i have DeathAdder mouse, how i set 500hz polling rate and 400dpi? also how to get my G15 keyboard drivers? the forum link you gave me, i dont understand a thing there sorry
[16:36] <blck> so link them into init.d?
[16:36] <jami> Commie_Cary: aptitude show pulseaudio returns nothing?
[16:36] <woden> Does anyone know of an ERD Commander type program that runs on linux?
[16:36] <Commie_Cary> jami, bash: alsaconf: command not found
[16:36] <jami> sry asoundconf
[16:36] <jami> :)
[16:37] <komputes> After pairing a bluetooth headset, how can I test audio input/output to the device?
[16:37] <whatev> woden what's ERD
[16:37] <rainmanp7> Jack_Sparrow I know but when people have already bought stupid shit it makes me wonder ,and sometimes I even try to do that but I don't do that lol or rather sometimes
[16:37] <whatev> entity relational diagram?
[16:38] <jami> entity relationship diagram
[16:38] <filthpig> Jewbacca: afaik the G15 driver is available in the repos (sudo apt-get search logitech g15), the mouse part I'm not sure about, but you might have to edit xorg.conf. Tried google?
[16:38] <nanotube> whatev: lol, probably not...
[16:38] <komputes> Anyone here use a bluetooth headset?
[16:38] <filthpig> komputes: I've tried to, at least ;)
[16:38] <rainmanp7> Jack_Sparrow Like sometimes I will go over and someone wants me to fix a windows thing then I'm telling them about linux stuff and they always seem to have some fcked up hardware running or cheap cheap hardware installed and there turning around and telling me how much they spent on the machine and it should be running like a Gold Medalist
[16:38] <komputes> filthpig: how far did you get?
[16:38] <mneptok> komputes: second base.
[16:39] <Jewbacca> filthpig: i google but i just dont get what they want :(
[16:39] <filthpig> komputes: I have got it to work on hardy, but the sound quality out was quite poor
[16:39] <woden> whatev:  It's a boot CD that you run on your computer and it lets you change the password on your windows administrator account.  You never heard of ERD Commander?
[16:39] <wolter> was cupsys replaced by cupsys?
[16:39] <rainmanp7> Jack_Sparrow Like a Gold Medalist Super Computer and doing everything they need... and it's always someones fault rofl!!! what do you say to that ?
[16:39] <nanotube> woden: ah, in that case, you can use any linux livecd to boot from.
[16:40] <nomego> how can I check what packages depend on a specific package?
[16:40] <whatev>  what's the diff between dmesg and boot.log?
[16:40] <noone00110011> Does anyone know of any program to make a resume that works with ubuntu. I'm kind of new...
[16:40] <nanotube> woden: and no, never heard of erd commander... it seems like it's just your regular livecd, but with windows? :)
[16:40] <woden> nanotube:  Yea, but is there a linux program that does what I want?
[16:40] <komputes> filthpig: you got it to pair and it worked with any program on hardy or did you only test it with a specific program?
[16:40] <filthpig> komputes: and it also depends on your headset if it's easy to fix or not :( Bluetooth audio is a mess. You can try fetching BlueMan which made my day back on hardy
[16:40] <mneptok> noone00110011: any text editor
[16:40] <Jack_Sparrow> rainmanp7 Where there is a fault.. there is a reason..
[16:40] <nanotube> woden: yes, it's called a text editor to edit the /etc/passwd file :)
[16:40] <KenBW2> on login i get an error: ""User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored...", but i can still log in. I can't find a ~/.dmrc file, so i suspect that's the problem. What should I do?
[16:40] <woden> nanotube, yea its a livecd with a windows environment, but the thing i want is the app that lets you change admin password on the windows install.
[16:40] <Commie_Cary> awesome
[16:40] <Commie_Cary> jami, no pluseaudio]\
[16:40] <rainmanp7> Jack_Sparrow hehe me knows
[16:40] <filthpig> komputes: used it with skype and it worked. quite a lot of tweaking was needed though
[16:41] <woden> nanotube:  No it's a change of the password on the local windows hard drive.
[16:41] <JenniferB2> what is the grouping word of letters, numbers,!*/  and etc in the English language? tokens ?
[16:41] <jami> yes
[16:41] <nanotube> woden: oh you want to change a /windows/ password using a linux bootcd, is that what youre saying?
[16:41] <komputes> filthpig: ok, i'll try to reproduce that in jaunty (which apparently has much better BT support)
[16:41] <woden> nanotube:  Yep.
[16:42] <nanotube> huh, well, in that case... just use erd commander :)
[16:42] <nanotube> woden: if it's windows, and erd commander works on it, why not use it?
[16:42] <woden> nanotube:  I don't want to use erd commander though.  I want to know if there a program that runs on linux that has the equivalent functionality.
[16:42] <nanotube> woden: why are you looknig for something else?
[16:42] <jami> woden: dia
[16:43] <nanotube> woden: ah so you have a dual boot system, and you want to access the windows partition and change the password there?
[16:43] <JenniferB2> what is the grouping word of letters, numbers,!*/  and etc in the English language? tokens ?
[16:43] <woden> nanotube:  Because I have a custom linux live cd that I am using that has a bunch of other tools on it like clonezilla, gparted, and a special shredding program for hard drives, and I want to add this other tool also.
[16:43] <woden> jami:  dia?
[16:43] <jami> no forget it
[16:43] <rainmanp7> woden why not use wine and hack the registry for the user and whipe out the user login section ?
[16:43] <jami> :)
[16:43] <nanotube> woden: aha, in that case... you are looking for program called "chntpw"
[16:43] <filthpig> komputes: Lets hope it does :) I think the ubuntu development should focus more on smaller details in the upcoming releases, such as bluetooth and other periferal devices, because in my opinion that's the last thing keeping them back from really making a serious claim on the desktop market
[16:44] <nanotube> woden: (stands for "change nt password" :) )
[16:44] <KenBW2> on login i get an error: ""User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored...", but i can still log in. I can't find a ~/.dmrc file, so i suspect that's the problem. What should I do?
[16:44] <nanotube> woden: see this link for some info: http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml
[16:44] <NicDumZ> nanotube, what about rm -Rf windows/ ?
[16:44] <woden> nanotube:  Ok thanks for finding that
[16:44] <rainmanp7> woden find the encrypted file it sotres and smoke that 2 because it will rebuild the login information somtimes trying to find the encrypted file or files or infromation stored in the registry
[16:44] <nanotube> woden: sorry wrong link
[16:44] <nanotube> woden: http://rhadimas.wordpress.com/2006/10/15/reset-windows-password-w-knoppix/
[16:44] <woden> nanotube:  Thanks again
[16:44] <nanotube> NicDumZ: haha, that's also a good one. :)
[16:44] <nanotube> woden: no prob, good luck :)

[16:48] <Jack_Sparrow> nanotube There are stand alone disks out there that are much easier than doing it than from a knoppix livecd
[16:48] <Level_5> anyone here had success with broadcom bcm4312 wireless card configuration? If so please help
[16:48] <nanotube> Jack_Sparrow: yes... he was asking for a specific tool he could use from linux to change a windows password on a windows partition. i told him about chntpw, and pointed to the link as an example of its usage.
[16:49] <wolter> great, my cups doesn't work.
[16:49] <wolter> would it be safe to restart cups/
[16:49] <Jack_Sparrow> nanotube good link btw
[16:49] <wolter> ?
[16:49] <nanotube> Jack_Sparrow: he is not using knoppix himself, he just wanted to know the tool
[16:49] <nanotube> Jack_Sparrow: indeed... and it happened to be the second hit in a google search for "linux change windows password". :)
[16:49] <Azazel-AZ> I connect fine and set my default printer but open office doesn't see the cups networked printer
[16:49] <Jack_Sparrow> nanotube I have used my stand alone password eraser countless times..

[16:55] <Masuka> :'(
[16:55] <Azazel-AZ> ssh -NL 631:localhost:631 vincent@abaddon; Could not request local forwarding
[16:55] <spideryummy> is there a danger if my application will restart dbus? (/etc/init.d/dbus restart) ??
[16:55] <Bubba69> lol Masuka ur a idiot
[16:56] <Slart> mib_5k898i: tried using noapic, noacpi etc etc?
[16:56] <Bubba69> Rather not do linux
[16:56] <Masuka> *an idiot you fucktard :/
[16:56] <Slart> !language
[16:56] <Bubba69> What, linux ppl has families?
[16:56] <Slart> Bubba69: if you don't have anything constructive to say being silent would be the better option
[16:57] <mib_5k898i> how do I do no ACPI?
[16:57] <jami> Azazel-AZ: and your nameserver knows about abaddon ?
[16:57] <Slart> mib_5k898i: it's a boot option.. hang on.. let me find a nice webpage about it
[16:57] <Slart> mib_5k898i: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[16:57] <mib_5k898i> when I boot to rescue system it stops on TIMER apic=1 ...
[16:57] <Slart> mib_5k898i: it's got pictures and everything =)
[16:57] <StOrM_NW> anyone know if the usb dongle (Hercules) HWGUSB2-54 is working stable at ubuntu 8.10 ... using ad-hoc mode?
[16:58] <mib_5k898i> Thats great, thank you
[16:58] <Azazel-AZ> no name server.  hosts.conf is manually set.  192.168.55.152 abaddon abaddon.domain so it resolves fine
[16:58] <Slart> mib_5k898i: I would try "noacpi" first.. see if that works
[16:58] <nomego> how can I check which packages depend on a certain package?
[16:59] <Azazel-AZ> ssh -L 631:localhost:631 me@abaddon works but I don't see printers under system --> admin --> printers when I connect to localhost
[16:59] <hardcorelamer> so, seems like the free r300 radeon driver has a two year old bug in it, and the nonfree fglrx driver has a bug in it... does anyone use ati gfx under ubuntu?
[16:59] <spideryummy> question: I have now ubuntu 8.10 and I am regularly updating my files via web synaptics..Will I keep my ubuntu at par with any later version release such as version 12..in the future..i mean, iL just stick with 8.10 and update it always....so i wont have to reinstall
[16:59] <komputes> Azazel-AZ: try localhost:631 perhaps?
[16:59] <nomego> spideryummy: update manager will tell you when a new release arrives
[16:59] <bfig> i'm having a problem with two things. first and most important, madwifi uninstalls itself after a couple logins (or blasts modprobe to hell), then i also have a problem where two roguelike games open in windows that are too big for my resolution and i don't know how to resize them
[17:00] <IntuitiveNipple> nomego: apt-cache rdepends <package>
[17:00] <Slart> spideryummy: nope.. debian works that way.. if you just keep updating you'll still be running intrepid... but there will be an "update to next version" button when it's released
[17:00] <jami> komputes and where is the source port of the tunnel
[17:00] <nomego> IntuitiveNipple: thank you
[17:00] <Jewbacca> in windows xp, i could enter my ftp from the explorer, how can i enter my ftp with ubuntu?
[17:00] <jami> the same way
[17:00] <spideryummy> Slart: you mean, i can jump from 8.10 to 9.0 by just updating via synaptics??
[17:00] <Slart> Jewbacca: there is a "places" menu you can use.. or do the same thing in nautilus
[17:00] <jami> ftp://foo:bar@horst
[17:01] <nomego> IntuitiveNipple: is there a way to only show installed packages?
[17:01] <Slart> spideryummy: yes.. there will be a little button when the new version is released
[17:01] <komputes> jami: source ->631:localhost:631<- dest
[17:01] <g_> Is there a ppc live cd for intrepid or hardy?
[17:01] <komputes> jami: more like local/remote
[17:01] <Slart> spideryummy: I think you can see it in the upgrade documentation.. try typing !upgrade here in the channel for some info from the bot
[17:01] <Slart> !ppc
[17:01] <Jack_Sparrow> g_ no but there is #ubuntu-powerpc
[17:01] <IntuitiveNipple> nomego: apt-cache --installed rdepends <package>
[17:02] <Azazel-AZ> bad local specificiation 'localhost:631'  I'm confident the format is local_port:local_ip:remote_port user_name@remote_ip
[17:02] <hardcorelamer> how do you find the version of an installed package?
[17:02] <IntuitiveNipple> nomego: It helps to use the man pages: "man apt-cache"
[17:02] <nomego> IntuitiveNipple: oh yeah, sorry
[17:02] <IntuitiveNipple> :)
[17:02] <bfig> i'm having a problem with two things. first and most important, madwifi uninstalls itself after a couple logins (or blasts modprobe to hell), then i also have a problem where two roguelike games open in windows that are too big for my resolution and i don't know how to resize them
[17:02] <Slart> hardcorelamer: apt-cache policy will give you some info
[17:02] <IntuitiveNipple> hardcorelamer: dpkg-query -s <package>
[17:02] <komputes> g_: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/8.10/release/
[17:03] <spideryummy> if i add a new dbus service, must I restart the dbus for it take effect??
[17:03] <wolter> can somebody help me with the drivers for "Epson Stylus Photo R200"? I don't find any.
[17:04] <g_> komputes what link is that?
[17:04] <mib_5k898i> acpi=off worked! Thank you
[17:04] <Azazel-AZ> http://staff.washington.edu/corey/fw/ssh-port-forwarding.html ok, I did this ugh..
[17:04] <Slart> wolter: there might not be any available.. have you looked at http://linuxprinting.org?
[17:04] <Slart> mib_5k898i: you're welcome
[17:04] <Slart> mib_5k898i: read through on how to add that permanently so you don't have to do it manually every time
[17:05] <Duk_work> ikonia: alright, it seemed to have autorun a mysqldump and is now taring a few things....
[17:05] <Duk_work> ikonia: this is the time that it is reported to be down
[17:06] <komputes> g_: ppc cd for intrepid
[17:06] <Azazel-AZ> ok ssh -L 632:localhost:631 me@remote does work and I can connect, but open office is only looking at 631 on localhost :(  the cups server on localhost is conflicting with the attempted capture and forwarding on 631
[17:06] <komputes> g_: oh sorry, but it's not a LiveCD
[17:06] <Duk_work> root      2585  2547  0 Jan18 ?        00:00:00 logger -p daemon.err -t mysqld_safe -i -t mysqld
[17:06] <g_> is there a program that can make a ppc live cd in ubuntu?
[17:07] <blck> what should i put into the /etc/hosts.allow for samba?
[17:07] <komputes> Azazel-AZ: should have seen that one ;p (although it never happened to me)
[17:07] <albuntu> hello to all. when i try to compile a c file i get some warnings. can someone please point me in to the right direction on what headers are missing ? here it is : http://paste.ubuntu.com/113690/  Thank you
[17:07] <Jack_Sparrow> !compile
[17:08] <Jack_Sparrow> g_ no
[17:08] <IntuitiveNipple> albuntu: You'd need to show your source code too!
[17:08] <jami> albuntu: and the code
[17:08] <Azazel-AZ> theory confirmed.  sudo pkill cups; sudo ssh -L 631:localhost:631 me@remote and now open office see the printer :(
[17:08] <albuntu> IntuitiveNipple: ok. i'll give it to you
[17:08] <spideryummy> albuntu: code
[17:08] <Jack_Sparrow> g_ For help with that................   /join #ubuntu-powerpc
[17:08] <wolter> i plugged my printer and everything was automatically detected, then, after reinstalling cups, i plug it and i get to choose the drivers manually, which do not exist. is there some package i need to install?
[17:09] <Azazel-AZ> wolter hp printer?
[17:09] <albuntu> here it is the source code http://paste.ubuntu.com/113693/
[17:09] <qdii> hello. I've got an USB drive whhich name, when mounted, is automatically "My Passport". I wonder how one can change that ?
[17:09] <wolter> Azazel-AZ, epson stylus photo r200 (there are only drivers for photo 750, but there used to be for my printer.
[17:10] <Slart> qdii: change the label for it
[17:10] <jami> albuntu: oha
[17:10] <qdii> what command do you use to do that Slart ?
[17:10] <Slart> qdii: there are different tools to do that depending on what file system it uses
[17:10] <albuntu> qdii: i change the label using gparted. its in system , administration , partition editor
[17:10] <Azazel-AZ> yeah, I intentionally bought HP this time.  http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/hplip as hp maintains a commerical drive for linux.  Sorry, can't help with the epson
[17:10] <qdii> Slart right now it's formatted on vfat
[17:11] <IntuitiveNipple> albuntu: on line 49 you're comparing the pointer, not the derefenced value: it should be *ptr < ( ...
[17:11] <albuntu> jami: sorry for the ignorance. what do you mean by oha
[17:11] <Slart> qdii: gparted might be the easiest..  I think mtools does it for fat drives
[17:11] <qdii> okay i'll check it out . thanks for the fast&deadly accurate  answer :)
[17:11] <jami> albuntu: nothing only too much asm :)
[17:11] <dou213> hi, why isn't this channel logged officially at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ ?
[17:12] <Jack_Sparrow> dou213 it is
[17:12] <Jack_Sparrow> !logs
[17:12] <PurityOfEssence> http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2009/02/04/%23ubuntu.html
[17:12] <albuntu> IntuitiveNipple: i have to change that line from "for (; ptr <" to "for *ptr <" ?
[17:12] <wolter> Azazel-AZ, its fixed now, I just had to install the cups-drivers-guttenprint or something like that
[17:12] <jami> albuntu: line 49 you really want to compare integer with a pointeraddress
[17:12] <jami> ?
[17:12] <dou213> Jack_Sparrow, thx just saw it :)
[17:12] <PurityOfEssence> Hello. How can I read the messages that appear at boot once they have gone off the screen?
[17:13] <IntuitiveNipple> albuntu: For the "missing sentinel" I think it is because you're passing "0" not "(char *)0" to execl()
[17:13] <guu> PurityOfEssence:  dmesg
[17:14] <Azazel-AZ> godo news and bad news.  been saying I was low on ink.  I'm our of magenta when printgin black.  ugh, what a waste of a color cartridge but I shouldhave a full reserve of black then :0
[17:14] <albuntu> IntuitiveNipple: i know you will laugh at me but i have no idea of c. i just wanted to get that file compiled so can you please tell me the exact things i have to change in there ? thank you
[17:14] <Azazel-AZ> :)
[17:14] <mib_5k898i> When I try to partition it sticks at 33%, I tried use whole disk.
[17:14] <PurityOfEssence> I mean the init messages, not the kernel messages
[17:14] <PurityOfEssence> eg. starting x [FAIL]
[17:14] <zimbres> Is the make utility installed by default? How would I install it from apt-get install?
[17:14] <Slart> zimbres: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[17:14] <mib_5k898i> this is on a scsi raid 5, not sure if that matters
[17:14] <Slart> zimbres: I think that does it
[17:14] <ikonia> zimbres: install the automake package
[17:15] <jami> albuntu: how do you no that there is a header file missing
[17:15] <PurityOfEssence> zimbres, for any program, type it in the terminal, it will tell you what package you need to install
[17:15] <erUSUL> zimbres: buid-essential includes make and other packages for building c progams from source
[17:15] <judgen> what is the keyboard shortcut to witch workspaces?
[17:15] <PurityOfEssence> control alt left / right judgen
[17:15] <jami> albuntu: there are only warnings
[17:15] <Slart> judgen: ctrl+alt+left or right arrow?
[17:15] <judgen> PurityOfEssence: does not work
[17:16] <albuntu> jami: i googled a little about a file i compiled before and adding a header to that file solved my problem before. os i just thought. i was not sure about that :)
[17:16] <IntuitiveNipple> albuntu: I did just tell you!
[17:16] <PurityOfEssence> check in gnome shortcuts system / preferences /keyboard shortcuts
[17:16] <PurityOfEssence> wfm.
[17:16] <Mood> how come "sudo echo 'TEST' > README.txt" fails?
[17:16] <judgen> PurityOfEssence: im in that preferences pane, and does not see anything regarding worspace swtiching
[17:16] <Slart> Mood: becayse only the echo part is done as root.. not the redirection to the file
[17:16] <judgen> PurityOfEssence: what would be a proper entry?
[17:16] <Slart> Mood: look at "tee"
[17:17] <Mood> Slart: ok thank you
[17:17] <Frederick> folks ive installed a new hd how do I do ubuntu add it to fstab?
[17:17] <PurityOfEssence> judgen if you are using gnome, the entries are switch to work space left and switch to workspace right
[17:17] <balrog__> how do i change to using sun java instead of gcj?
[17:17] <Slart> Mood: you're welcome
[17:17] <erUSUL> balrog__: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[17:17] <judgen> PurityOfEssence: those entries does not exist
[17:17] <mib_5k898i> When I try to partition it sticks at 33%, Is there anything special I need to do for a scsi raid 5?
[17:18] <KenBW2> what happened to the Device Manager-like app Gutsy used to have?
[17:18] <PurityOfEssence> yes they do, under window management, what versions are you running?
[17:18] <balrog__> erUSUL: thanks.
[17:18] <judgen> PurityOfEssence: jaunty
[17:18] <za119> hey is ssh a TCP protocoll?
[17:18] <famio> i need from someone with experience on netfilter/iptables for a simple port forwarding that isn't working
[17:18] <famio> (help)
[17:18] <za119> famio ... one word firehol
[17:18] <naraty> Is anyone familiar with DD-WRT router firmware , i am trying to run 2 SSID system based on it and I am having problems with DNSMasq and second wl0.1 interface. Can anyone help me ?
[17:18] <PurityOfEssence> ssh uses tcp port 22
[17:18] <famio> za119 what's that?
[17:18] <za119> famio I have lost my mind with iptables... just reasearch and deploy firehol
[17:18] <goldelite> Hi; I can't get my Realtek 8169 Gigabit card working...ifup just compains "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Invalid argument" and nothing I can find on the internet helps...does anyone here have any pointers?
[17:18] <jami> albuntu: the compiler will only halt on errors and without errors i can't help
[17:19] <za119> famio I connect to my ubuntu server through ssh, so I only have a CLI command of my server, and I use firehol to take care of my firewall... it does everything for your once you configure its SIMPLE  config file
[17:19] <famio> za119 looking at it...menawhile if someone can help with direct iptables would be so nice
[17:19] <bfig> i'm having a problem with two things. first and most important, madwifi uninstalls itself after a couple logins (or blasts modprobe to hell), then i also have a problem where two roguelike games open in windows that are too big for my resolution and i don't know how to resize them
[17:20] <judgen> What is the command for the preferences then?
[17:20] <wikkedfin> does the driver in ubuntu 8.10 support ath9k g/n support?
[17:20] <linuxman410> KenBW2 you can install device manager sudo apt-get install gnome-device-manager
[17:20] <jon_high9000> hi there. i am currently on DSL but expecting to possibly downgrade to slower connection in June. i have been looking for a way to backup the upgrades/updates and the operating system in general. any ideas?
[17:21] <famio> za119 problem is, for just *one* port forwarding i'll have to install a full package, is only a couple of iptables statements, even more: the port opens, but it shows as "filtered" (on nmap) and i can't connect to it whatsoever
[17:21] <jami> za119: The configuration of iptables is also simple
[17:21] <albuntu> jami: yes i know that. the file gets compiled. i just wanted to know if the warnings make any difference in the functions of the file. there is no problem if the warnings doesnt affect what the file has to do
[17:22] <KenBW2> linuxman410: thanks
[17:22] <IntuitiveNipple> albuntu: The warnings mean the program won't work as expected
[17:22] <linuxman410> you are welcome
[17:22] <za119> famio very true.. the simple way would be to do iptables i guess.. but just from personal experience i got sick of those
[17:23] <mikeshollen> Sometimes when I open a program or a window, it gets off the screen and I can't see the minimize, maximize and close buttons, nor can I grab the title bar and move the window.  How can I get around this problem?
[17:23] <albuntu> IntuitiveNipple: than i have to find a way on how to resolve them
[17:23] <IntuitiveNipple> albuntu: I already told you how to solve all the problems... scroll back and reread
[17:23] <unitedpotsmokers> hey guys, how to know a version type of ubuntu that we currently using now?
[17:23] <IntuitiveNipple> unitedpotsmokers: lsb_release -a
[17:24] <Torikun> yo
[17:24] <jami> albuntu: its difficult because i'm not the programmer. What I can say is that the comparison between integer and uncasted pointer are not a good idea
[17:24] <albuntu> IntuitiveNipple: thank you. i read what you said but i cant understand them because i dont understand c. i just wanted to get that file compiled
[17:24] <IntuitiveNipple> albuntu: on line 49 you're comparing the pointer, not the derefenced value: it should be *ptr < ( ...
[17:24] <IntuitiveNipple> albuntu: For the "missing sentinel" I think it is because you're passing "0" not "(char *)0" to execl()
[17:24] <jami> albuntu: execute them you will see the quality ;)
[17:24] <Jack_Sparrow> albuntu Find a programming channel.  this is not the place for you to work out those issues
[17:25] <janisozaur> hi! i'm updating my home server to ubuntu 8.10 (desktop) and i'm having some problems with my network card. it's an old SFF compaq with integrated NIC that worked perfectly fine in my previous installation (i think it was ubuntu 7.04) and even after first boot with new system. however now i have to issue a manual start for this interface (that's not good, my parents can't handle linux and it's our home gateway).

[17:26] <doktor> ! ubuntu-it | lol
[17:26] <miha> albuntu warnings are warnings. errors are errors. most C code around has lots of warnings. means type checking is not done properly, but could work, if programmer knew what he/she was doing
[17:26] <Torikun> janisozaur: you can add the module to /etc/modules
[17:26] <doktor> ! @ubuntu-it | lol
[17:26] <jami> I have a problem after upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10. I'm using a nvidia graphic card and the windows displayed in gnome have no borders and no titlebar. I've read about some solutions but they won't work. If you call a window it will be created with titlebar but after loading it disapears
[17:26] <Jack_Sparrow> !it
[17:26] <miha> albuntu: after all pointer is just a memory address.. and CPU doesnt exactly care if C code labels it as char* or void*
[17:26] <janisozaur> Torikun: e100?
[17:27] <Torikun> not sure the drive name
[17:27] <Jack_Sparrow> miha Please drop the topic

[17:30] <miha> s0101 generally you get appropriate new image and upload it to router over web interface. take right, compatible image and always upload it over cable, never over wireless. if something goes wrong doing upgrade, you have dead router and you will have much problems restoring it:)

[17:30] <blip-> hi all,  after moving to the kernel 2.6.24.22-server from the repos of ubuntu 8.04 I lost sound on my server machine.  any ideas how to go about resolving this ?
[17:30] <miha> s0101 did that with linksys, not dlink
[17:31] <jami> mib_5k898i: have u checked the device
[17:31] <s0101> it says on the web that there  should  doit straight from the router settings but in my router i only have the option to upload the correct file

[17:31] <unitedpotsmokers> thanks IntuitiveNipple , it work
[17:31] <mib_5k898i> i will try that
[17:31] <miha> s0101 no idea, and personally i didnt like dlink routers i saw :)
[17:32] <mib_5k898i> do i have to have ubuntu installed to do that?

[17:32] <KenBW2> i want to get my TV card working with Ubuntu, but don't know where to start. Can anyone help?
[17:32] <on-the-way> is it possible to install both windows and ubuntu on the same PC?
[17:32] <_VIM_> miha: the new dlinks are nice :)

[17:32] <marcin> could you ?
[17:33] <jim_p> KenBW2, by identifying it perhaps...          pastebin the output of lspci
[17:33] <jami> KenBW2: detect your cards chipset. install driver/tuner. install tvtime and done
[17:33] <miha> kenbw2 you sure kernel didnt recognize automatically?
[17:33] <s0101> which one would  you say is the best  to buy if  you are looking at  prices between 50-80 euro?
[17:33] <miha> just try tvtime
[17:33] <s0101> i dont need wireless
[17:33] <KenBW2> miha: thats what i mean - i dont know
[17:33] <jim_p> on-the-way, yes, provided that you have a large drive and know what partitioning is
[17:34] <miha> kenbw2: dmesg | less
[17:34] <s0101> but i  want a good options regarding settings ports block etc

[17:34] <Azazel-AZ> open office and remote cups printing.  if anyone in intrested the answer is to goto system --> admin --> printing and add a lpp printer and that will add a remote printer to the local cups server :D  later all

[17:34] <Torikun> janisozaur:
[17:34] <Torikun> hmm
[17:34] <Torikun> how would you start the interface now to make it work>
[17:34] <KenBW2> jim_p, miha: http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=24032
[17:34] <miha> s0101 i'm part of fanclub of linksys linux routers + dd-wrt or tomato :) my answer might be biased :)
[17:34] <janisozaur> Torikun: ifconfig eth0 up 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
[17:35] <Torikun> janisozaur: add it to /etc/rc.local
[17:35] <janisozaur> Torikun: /etc/network/interfaces contains entry that should start it
[17:35] <Torikun> and it will do it at boot
[17:35] <jim_p> KenBW2, give me a sec to google
[17:35] <jami> KenBW2: Brooktree you need bttv
[17:36] <s0101> I need it to have a good connection to the other computer on the router so i have a  clue what my  kids  do on the web, on my dlink somebody told me i cant use  wireshark
[17:36] <KenBW2> jim_p jami: on Windows i founbd out it was AverMedia DVB-T 771
[17:36] <miha> kenbw2 do you have /dev/video0 and you dont have webcam too?
[17:36] <IntuitiveNipple> KenBW2: can you redo that so we see the device IDs as well?  lspci -nn
[17:36] <janisozaur> Torikun: when does this script execute? i have a firewall and dhcpd depending on that interface, so i would like it to start prior to them
[17:37] <jim_p> KenBW2, doesnt the bttv module work for it?                sudo modprobe bttv                      and open a video capture app live tvtime to check
[17:37] <on-the-way> jim_p: is there any specific steps to be followed?
[17:37] <s0101> I only see my computer  network  traffic with wireshark
[17:37] <KenBW2> jim_p: sudo modprobe bttv outputs nothing#
[17:37] <jami> jim_p: don't forget modprobe tuner
[17:37] <jim_p> on-the-way, hmmmmm... make 1 partition for ubuntu, one for the swap and install
[17:37] <jami> nothing is a good sign
[17:38] <qdii> s0101: wireshark will only give you the rough network data, it's a network-admin oriented tool
[17:38] <miha> s0101 well linux based routers are linux based, 2.4 kernel+busybox, you can ssh to them and do iptables if you like
[17:38] <jim_p> KenBW2, good!
[17:38] <miha> s0101 with closed source you get what they offer you
[17:38] <KenBW2> jami, jim_p: so what now
[17:38] <on-the-way> jim_p: actually i don't know exactly how to do this
[17:38] <jami> KenBW2: test it
[17:38] <jim_p> KenBW2, open a video capture app like tvtime and check
[17:38] <KenBW2> IntuitiveNipple: http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=24033
[17:39] <Torikun> janisozaur: that is your system startup script
[17:39] <jim_p> on-the-way, you will need a partition making app
[17:39] <on-the-way> jim_p: will u help me please?
[17:39] <Torikun> janisozaur: put any special commands in there and it will be executed at boot
[17:39] <jim_p> on-the-way, sure, can i pm you?
[17:39] <xsg> How do i enable the cube effect in ubuntu 9.04
[17:39] <KenBW2> jim_p, jami: how will i know if it's working?
[17:39] <s0101> sounds good to me, but is there a good way for me today using my dlink 604 router to see exactly whats going on in the other end?
[17:40] <_VIM_> s0101: most newer dlinks have parental controls in the routers config
[17:40] <jim_p> KenBW2, with some video capturing app like tvtime!!!
[17:40] <on-the-way> jim_p: sorry i didn't understand your question
[17:40] <KenBW2> jim_p: i have it open
[17:40] <jami> KenBW2: <jim_p> KenBW2, with some video capturing app like tvtime!!!
[17:40] <jami> sorry i'm too lazy
[17:40] <miha> tvtime firsts needs you to run tvtime-scanner, check tvtime site for example:)
[17:40] <jim_p> KenBW2, doesnt it have options? i never had a tvcard on my pc to tell you how each app works
[17:40] <janisozaur> Torikun: i know, but will it start before or after /etc/rc0.d/K89shorewall and /etc/rc1.d/K40dhcp3-server ?
[17:40] <miha> with tuners you dont just get video
[17:40] <miha> you must tune them first
[17:40] <miha> like on tv
[17:41] <miha> real tv
[17:41] <jim_p> on-the-way, can i analyse the partitioning procedure in a private message?
[17:41] <xsg> How do i enable the cube effect in ubuntu 9.04
[17:41] <jami> miha:thats why modprobe tuner
[17:41] <KenBW2> jim_p: does tvtime have DVB?
[17:41] <Torikun> janisozaur:  Not sure, I think after. You can always tell /etc/rc.local to turn on service instead of the standard way
[17:41] <IntuitiveNipple> KenBW2: useful info... to determine what driver supports hardware, get the PCI vendor:device ID (in this case you'll see 109e:036e) and search the kernel's pcimap: "grep -i '109e.*036e' /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.pcimap"
[17:41] <jim_p> xsg, ask in ubuntu+1
[17:41] <xsg> huh
[17:41] <jim_p> xsg, are you on ati?
[17:41] <KenBW2> IntuitiveNipple: that all means nothing to me
[17:41] <xsg> i have nvidia
[17:41] <Level_5> anyone here got experience with setting up a broadcom wireless card bcm4312 rev 2?
[17:41] <jim_p> KenBW2, i dont know
[17:42] <on-the-way> jim_P: sure, i use pidgin, so shall i add u?
[17:42] <Sa[i]nT> How do I change a folders owner to me instead of root with the terminal?
[17:42] <KenBW2> jim_p: it's scanning the channels but picking nothing up
[17:42] <janisozaur> Torikun: are rcX.d files ran in alphabetical order? if so i could put a symlink there, because starting firewall is a bit lenghty process
[17:42] <jim_p> on-the-way, wait! what irc app do you use now?
[17:42] <jim_p> KenBW2, is it connected to some antenna?
[17:42] <KenBW2> jim_p: yea
[17:42] <jami> KenBW2: paste your lsmod
[17:43] <jim_p> KenBW2, then i cant help more
[17:43] <jami> KenBW2: try sudo modprobe tuner
[17:43] <xsg> i have nvidia
[17:43] <KenBW2> jami: sudo modprobe tuner output nothing
[17:43] <jami> KenBW2: scan again
[17:43] <Torikun> janisozaur: Ubuntu has a funky way of managing services, disable it with the GUI and tel /etc/rc.local to turn it on
[17:43] <on-the-way> jim_p: i use irc.freenode.org server
[17:44] <Torikun> janisozaur: X wil stil load before /etc/rc.local is done
[17:44] <jim_p> on-the-way, on which application? if you take a close look you will see a window or a tab with my message in
[17:45] <KenBW2> jim_p: thanks anyway
[17:45] <Sa[i]nT> How do I change a folders owner to me instead of root with the terminal?
[17:45] <jim_p> KenBW2, you are welcome
[17:45] <KenBW2> jami: lsmod: http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=24034
[17:45] <SxNDave> Hi all, I have a problem. How is it possible to stop a program I ran from console that is stuck in a infinate loop?
[17:45] <KenBW2> SxNDave: killall <appname>
[17:45] <carpii_> Sa[i]nT, chown username.username dirname -R
[17:46] <janisozaur> Torikun: weird, this service manager says that shorewall firewall is already turned off. Could it be because it's not running currently?
[17:46] <jami> KenBW2: hm looks good
[17:46] <Knoedel2> hi, all i'm trying to compile a kernel and getting this msg: http://rafb.net/p/13PKVc78.html
[17:46] <musikgoat|main> SxNDave: or check ps -aux  for the pid of the program, and sudo kill -9 pid
[17:46] <KenBW2> jami: what have you established from that?
[17:47] <Jewbacca> what sudo nautilus does?
[17:47] <_VIM_> dont use sudo use gksu for that Jewbacca
[17:47] <_VIM_> !gksu
[17:47] <mikesholle1> Where can I get some assistance on installing Mac-On-Linux?
[17:47] <Caesi> Hi.. anyone know a PDF client where I can change the background and font colours?
[17:48] <Jewbacca> what does that mean _VIM_ :o
[17:48] <SxNDave> KenBW2: I tried that but it says no process killed
[17:48] <jami> KenBW2: ich see i2c and video for linux and the generic bttv and the tuner. that are good conditions for tv
[17:48] <_VIM_> Jewbacca: use gksu nautilus NOT sudo nautilus
[17:48] <KenBW2> jami: so does that mean ubuntu supports my TV card/vice versa?
[17:48] <rapha> mikesholle1: what kind of assistance do you need? Just download it, unpack it, and execute the shell script. If you're still not satisfied, study the PDF that comes with it.
[17:48] <SxNDave> musikgoat|main: that does not show up the app
[17:48] <Jewbacca> oh i see thanks :>
[17:49] <_VIM_> np
[17:49] <adam_> is there an ignore space flag for grep? I don't see one on the man page
[17:49] <musikgoat|main> SxNDave: are you sure the app is running?  ps -aux  should show every running process in the system
[17:49] <adam_> or can I exclude it with [^ ]
[17:49] <janisozaur> adam_: -v
[17:50] <adam_> gracias
[17:50] <janisozaur> adam_: though... it reverses match
[17:50] <jami> KenBW2: i don't know but somewhere are lists with supported chipsets
[17:50] <mikesholle1> I'm still new with Linux and all the file extensions, I wasn't sure what to run after unpacking it
[17:50] <mikesholle1> it's the .sh file?
[17:51] <jami> KenBW2: are the connections ok antenna etc
[17:51] <SxNDave> musikgoat: I wrote a little app and compile it and it just looped around filling to console i was in. I closed the console in the hope of killing the process but failed. Since then the CPU usage accross all cores is huge and rising steadily but constantly.
[17:51] <becomingGuru> Hi I need to install Skype... But I dont see a version for Intrepid Ibex... Anyway i can do it?
[17:51] <KenBW2> jami: not great, but it worked reasonably with Windows
[17:51] <musikgoat|main> SxNDave: then something else may be doing it, check in top
[17:51] <janisozaur> mikesholle1: usually it is the file marked as executable (if you issue "ls" in console it should be green with default settings)
[17:51] <KenBW2> jami: although that only picked up analogue channels, and my TV card is meant to support DVB-T as well
[17:52] <musikgoat|main> mikesholle1: .sh is a shell script
[17:52] <adam_> actually. [^ ] does exclude spaces
[17:52] <becomingGuru> And How do I enable a LAN at a local office
[17:52] <jami> KenBW2: are you running parallel ?
[17:52] <KenBW2> jami: sorry?
[17:52] <jami> KenBW2: Windows
[17:52] <musikgoat|main> mikesholle1: it needs to be executable, then, if you have permissions, you can run it with sh name.sh   or simply ./name.sh
[17:52] <KenBW2> jami: do you mean is Windows on the same PC?
[17:53] <jami> KenBW2: yes
[17:53] <KenBW2> jami: it is
[17:53] <mikesholle1> Hmm, it doesn't work
[17:53] <jami> KenBW2: and the card did work there
[17:53] <KenBW2> jami: yea
[17:53] <jabar> Evening everybody...
[17:53] <mikesholle1> The only shell script in the root folder of what I unpacked is autogen.sh
[17:53] <mikesholle1> I told it to run, but nothing happened
[17:53] <janisozaur> mikesholle1: however beware, unpacking files from tar.bz2/.gz archive in a windows file system will make all files lose their attributes and all would probably become executable
[17:53] <musikgoat|main> mikesholle1: what are you trying to do?
[17:54] <jami> KenBW2: then the connections are ok
[17:54] <janisozaur> mikesholle1: you have to run it in terminal probably
[17:54] <mikesholle1> I don't understand your warning Janisozaur
[17:54] <musikgoat|main> mikesholle1: are you trying to build something?
[17:54] <mikesholle1> Can you explain further
[17:54] <KenBW2> jami: so what could be the issue?
[17:54] <mikesholle1> I just want the option to be able to run Mac programs on my linux system
[17:55] <janisozaur> mikesholle1: you may lose file attributes on a windows (fat/ntfs) file system
[17:55] <mikesholle1> Doesn't Ubuntu use ext3?
[17:55] <musikgoat|main> on a default install, yes
[17:55] <SxNDave> musikgoat: I can't find it. I'll just restart. thanks for the "ps -aux" thing. will come in handy in the future i reckon :)
[17:55] <janisozaur> mikesholle1: it does, but you can also mount your windows partitions
[17:55] <musikgoat|main> SxNDave: sure
[17:55] <mikesholle1> Oh I see
[17:55] <mikesholle1> No I didn't install that way
[17:55] <jami> KenBW2: something is missing or was configured badly
[17:55] <mikesholle1> I did a reformat ext3 install because I want the full experience
[17:56] <janisozaur> mikesholle1: then run terminal (app > accesories > terminal)
[17:56] <jabar> anybody here using Ubuntu on virtualbox - have a question about sharing folders?
[17:56] <mikesholle1> Sick of windows
[17:56] <KenBW2> jami: something softwarey?
[17:56] <janisozaur> mikesholle1: cd /path/to/dir/with/autogen.sh
[17:56] <janisozaur> mikesholle1: ./autogen.sh
[17:56] <mikesholle1> Thank you
[17:57] <Khirr_Warfield> hello, i have ubuntu server running in home server with openssh installed, i have open port 22 on my router but i cant connect from internet, what should i do?
[17:57] <jami> KenBW2: the hardware is the same so yes :) what exactly is the cards name
[17:57] <blip-> hi all,  after moving to the kernel 2.6.24.22-server from the repos of ubuntu 8.04 I lost sound on my server machine.  any ideas how to go about resolving this.    I have ssh access to the machine.      lspci -n |grep 00:0f.1     --->  00:0f.1 0403: 10de:0371 (rev a2)  which apparently uses the snd-hda-intel.... however   lsmod | grep snd-hda-intel   returns nothing.     I don't have /proc/asound/cards or /proc/asound/card0/codecs...  running a powerful
[17:57] <blip-> server here.   sound  was working fine before moving to this new server kernel.  any ideas what else could be tried ?   thanks
[17:57] <janisozaur> Khirr_Warfield: is it openssh-server?
[17:57] <KenBW2> jami: Avermedia DVB-T 771 i believe
[17:58] <Khirr_Warfield> janisozaur yes, is open ssh server
[17:58] <rainmanp7> Ok i got a strange problem :) I have a sound blaster sound card and a usb Cmedia headphone device How can I change devices as 2 Devices and not all the channel stuff listed ?
[17:58] <xsg> are there any better photoshop applications then gimp for ubuntu or no thanks in advance
[17:58] <Mood> is it recommended to use iptables as a ubuntu firewall if i already have a firewall built-in in my router?
[17:58] <janisozaur> Khirr_Warfield: also make sure that in /etc/ssh/sshd_config you have set it up to proper interface
[17:58] <mikesholle1> so the command I would use is "cd home/michael/Desktop/mol-0.9.72.1/autogen.sh"
[17:58] <janisozaur> mikesholle1: no, "cd /home/michael/Desktop/mol-0.9.72.1"
[17:58] <_VIM_> xsg: i dont think there is
[17:58] <Reformer81> My max volume in Ubuntu is MUCH lower than in Windows.  I need to have everything on maximum to even be able to listen to music comfortably.  Any ideas?  alsamixer and the gnome mixer are both on max.
[17:58] <janisozaur> mikesholle1: and then "./autogen.sh"
[17:59] <_VIM_> xsg: photoshop works in wine
[17:59] <xsg> ok thanks ill get cs3
[17:59] <mikesholle1> Oh yeah, change directory first then execute, thank you
[17:59] <Khirr_Warfield> janisozaur what should i do in sshd_config, i was looking for
[17:59] <_VIM_> np
[17:59] <_VIM_> xsg: i donno bout cs3 though
[17:59] <_VIM_> xsg: i know cs2 works for sure
[17:59] <hyphenated> xsg: what features do you actually need?
[17:59] <janisozaur> Khirr_Warfield: ListenAddress
[17:59] <xsg> cause i love gimp but i thought ubuntu made a photoshop app or in gimp there main one
[17:59] <_VIM_> xsg: also you could use Virtualbox
[18:00] <jabar> anybody here using Ubuntu on virtualbox - have a question about sharing folders?
[18:00] <mikesholle1> it says "autoheader failed"
[18:00] <KenBW2> jami: http://www.avermedia.com/avertv/uk/Support/Download.aspx?Type=APDriver&tab=APDriver&id=404 <-- that one
[18:00] <janisozaur> mikesholle1: then use synaptic to find such a package and install it
[18:00] <Khirr_Warfield> janisozaur i see in ListenAddress: #ListenAddress:: and #ListerAddress 0.0.0.0
[18:00] <musikgoat|main> mikesholle1: is this a new install of ubuntu?
[18:01] <mikesholle1> 8.04 installed 2 days ago
[18:01] <janisozaur> Khirr_Warfield: what does "/etc/init.d/ssh status" say?
[18:01] <jabar> sorry, got to shoot... will be back on later...
[18:01] <musikgoat|main> mikesholle1: have you "sudo apt-get install build-essential" yet?
[18:01] <mikesholle1> no
[18:01] <mikesholle1> What does that do
[18:01] <Khirr_Warfield> janisozaur is running the server, but, what line should i change?
[18:01] <musikgoat|main> mikesholle1: that gives your system tools to build applications
[18:01] <janisozaur> mikesholle1: you will probably need to install "build-essential" package
[18:01] <mikesholle1> Ok, is it just that single command?
[18:02] <janisozaur> Khirr_Warfield: none, by default it listens on all interfaces
[18:02] <musikgoat|main> mikesholle1: yes, the one i gave above
[18:02] <musikgoat|main> your asking apt to install the build-essential package
[18:02] <Khirr_Warfield> janisozaur but i cant connect from internet, ListenAddress is width comment
[18:03] <janisozaur> Khirr_Warfield: are you near this machine perhaps?
[18:03] <Khirr_Warfield> janisozaur i'm connect with ssh from myu local network
[18:03] <janisozaur> Khirr_Warfield: so you can ssh to it from local network but not from the internet?
[18:04] <oobe> w
[18:04] <mikesholle1> Ok, I ran the command successfully, now should I try running the shell again?
[18:04] <Khirr_Warfield> janisozaur exactly
[18:04] <Mohammad[B]> Hi All
[18:04] <musikgoat|main> mikesholle1: yes
[18:05] <janisozaur> Khirr_Warfield: then use this website: https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 to verify that your firewall is set up properly
[18:05] <Mohammad[B]> i setup squid on my web server and user of that port and IP in my firefox for tunneling and i see this error: "http://paste.ubuntu.com/113708/" how to i can resolve this problem ?
[18:06] <mikesholle1> I'm still getting autoheader failed
[18:06] <Khirr_Warfield> janisozaur the port is open, i think is sshd configuration
[18:07] <Reformer81> My max volume in Ubuntu is MUCH lower than in Windows.  I need to have everything on maximum to even be able to listen to music comfortably.  Any ideas?  alsamixer and the gnome mixer are both on max.
[18:08] <janisozaur> Khirr_Warfield: then check it and consult it with "man sshd_config" if in doubt
[18:08] <musikgoat|main> mikesholle1: most applications you build are built with the following commands,  ./configure    then   make     then  (sudo) make install
[18:08] <Photoguy> How can I get Dvds to work?
[18:08] <musikgoat|main> mikesholle1: is there a configure file?
[18:08] <sipior> Reformer81: which channels on the mixer are maxed? check the pcm channel as well
[18:08] <mikesholle1> yes
[18:08] <Photoguy> VLC and Totem don't play any DVDs
[18:08] <musikgoat|main> try ./configure
[18:08] <Reformer81> sipior: In alsamixer, there is only one channel, "Main"
[18:09] <amonxz> how can i play mp3 on the terminal?
[18:09] <Reformer81> err "Master"
[18:09] <mikesholle1> autoheader failed
[18:09] <jami> KenBW: i think we forgot to specify bttv module. http://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=43596 thats a list with the supported settings. but i can't find the chipsetnames for your card. On the avermedia site you get a manual with 50 sites and no informations :)
[18:09] <romain_> anybody talk french?
[18:09] <sipior> Reformer81: there should be at least a master and a pcm channel. does gnomemixer show anything?
[18:09] <janisozaur> !fr
[18:09] <musikgoat|main> mikesholle1: its probly going to do a whole lot of lines of stuff...  if it completes without any errors at the end, then you can move to the next command "make"
[18:09] <mikesholle1> my gf does romain
[18:09] <Khirr_Warfield> janisozaur well i will read, thanks
[18:09] <romain_> ok...
[18:09] <mikesholle1> do you need a translator?
[18:10] <romain_> why not!
[18:10] <Photoguy> VLC and Totem don't play any DVDs, what should I do?
[18:10] <Reformer81> sipior: okay, in Gnome mixer, PCM was down slightly.  But it is still much quieter than Windows.
[18:11] <musikgoat|main> Photoguy: install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[18:11] <sipior> Reformer81: make sure to check all the channels...
[18:11] <romain_> mes boutons de lancement rapide ne fonctionne pas, comme augmenter ou diminuer le son.. quelqu'un à une idée?
[18:11] <mikesholle1> It failed musikgoad
[18:11] <mikesholle1> t
[18:11] <KenBW2> jami: found this on that mandriva site: "123 -> AVerMedia AVerTV DVB-T 771 [1461:0771]". relevant?
[18:11] <Jack_Sparrow> !fr > romain_
[18:11] <Jack_Sparrow> romain_  /join #ubuntu-fr
[18:11] <musikgoat|main> mikesholle1: can you pastebin the errors?
[18:11] <Reformer81> sipior: I did.
[18:11] <romain_> o right
[18:11] <mikesholle1> pastebin?

[18:20] <KenBW2> jami: its pretty dusty in there lol
[18:20] <mick_laptop> becomingGuru: type in "which firefox" in the commandline and it will tell you the path to the binary
[18:20] <mikesholle1> just type "make" by itself?

[18:36] <askand> jami: no it didnt, the sims is kind of famous for not working with wine :)
[18:37] <anglxs> hey guys is it possible to make VCL the default mozilla player?
[18:37] <NET||abuse> i think i had it setup as root / was 40GB and /home was 80GB, but now i could have 280GB /home partition.
[18:37] <gfather> hello guys
[18:37] <NET||abuse> so could i just do a dd copy of the 120->320 and then resize the /home part
[18:37] <NET||abuse> or is there a better method?

[18:38] <wahcordian|Work> is there a good dictionary application that runs in bash? I want to look up words quickly in sh rather than using kdict and the like.
[18:38] <NET||abuse> gfather, not really.. watch some of the linux action show stuff. but otherwise you'd have to try get your hands on some cpan training videos for certain linux based accreditation like ubuntu or LPI cert
[18:38] <urbands> evolution export settings
[18:38] <anglxs> hey guys is it possible to make VCL the default mozilla player?
[18:39] <sipior> NET||abuse: another possibility would be to make the partitions as big as you like on the new disk, and simply use rsync to move your /home data over.
[18:39] <NET||abuse> sipior.. hmm, guess so..
[18:39] <musikgoat|main> mikesholle1: you can visit ##mac to see if there are other options for what you want to achieve
 how do i join those , do they cost ?
[18:39] <xsg> Hey guys i have a digital camera but how can i manage or upload stuff off my camera to pc
[18:39] <mib> i hve http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/3751/ubuntuqj3.th.png
[18:39] <NET||abuse> sipior, need to boot up on a live cd, then mount the internal disk, mount the new disk on usb adapter. then do all that stuff,, hmmm ok, i guess that's the way to go :)
[18:39] <musikgoat|main> xsg: plug it in
[18:40] <jami> KenBW2: we have your chipset and it is supported. Have you dvb-utils installed?
[18:40] <musikgoat|main> xsg: f-spot should load up and give you the option to import
[18:40] <xsg> i did but when i go to copy the video off it it wont transfer it stays at 0%
[18:40] <gnubie> Reformer81;  the 12" mini @dell runs ubuntu  and starts at $399
[18:40] <NET||abuse> gfather, cpan is wrong, sorry, that's the perl library repository :P hehe
[18:40] <xsg> ill try fspot
[18:40] <KenBW2> jami: i have
[18:40] <NET||abuse> gfather, i'll try remember where i saw them before, but yeh, they do cost.
[18:40] <Reformer81> gnubie: Sadly, that's not a REAL notebook :).  I'll just buy a Windows laptop and wipe it.
[18:40] <KenBW2> jami: so we know Ubuntu supports my TV card?
[18:40] <musikgoat|main> xsg: yeah try that,  but also check your camera in its settings for PTP or USB
[18:40] <sipior> NET||abuse: another option is to use partimage, but i don't believe it's on the ubuntu live cd. you can download a live cd from the partimage folks, however.
[18:40] <NET||abuse> sipior, partimage eh?
[18:41] <NET||abuse> sipior, i'll have a look
[18:41] <NET||abuse> sipior, thanks :P

[18:46] <jami> KenBW2: do you have your region code like at-Klagenfurt
[18:46] <xsg> Update manager found 7 updates should i insall
[18:46] <nanotube> ubuntu_: well, it's a reasonable question - but only if you tell us your requirements. otherwise, what answer can you expect from a channel named #ubuntu :)
[18:46] <musikgoat|main> xsg: yes
[18:47] <KenBW2> jami: erm... i live in NW-England
[18:47] <ubuntu_> hello

[18:47] <Walrus17> So where to put that line?"
[18:47] <Besogon> ubuntu_: Попробуй ВыньХР
[18:47] <disi> or can I just choose the newer kernel?
[18:47] <Pici> !ru | Besogon
[18:47] <musikgoat|main> xsg: but the fact that you updated might let you install f-spot,  try again
[18:47] <jami> KenBW2: yes but the tool 'scan' needs a region. scan at-Klagenfurt > channels.conf
[18:47] <NET||abuse> gfather, np

[18:49] <Walrus17> There coms ubuntu zombie :D
[18:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Walrus17 If you manually install drivers you MUST re-install the new drivers with each kernel/os upgrade
[18:49] <Pici> Walrus17: Please try to stay constructive.
[18:49] <KenBW2> jami: scanning at-Klagenfurt; using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'; main:2247: FATAL: failed to open '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0': 2 No such file or directory

[18:50] <Pici> !latest | disi
[18:50] <macrobad> Would Ubuntu 8.10 work not sluggishly on a laptop with 1.6GHz AMD Sempron, and 512MB of RAM, or should I better install Xubuntu 8.10?

[18:56] <Kingsid3> Hello?
[18:56] <Ian_Daniher|XO> I'd like to use ubuntu server as the basis for a desktop system - does it support installing w/o server packages but /with/ all the drivers?
[18:56] <za119> anybody
[18:56] <Jewbacca> thanks working
[18:56] <Kingsid3> Ahh ok i have got this working properly
[18:57] <Stroganoff> Ian_Daniher|XO: you want to use the alternate iso and select "install a command line system" that's the most minimal you can get and it includes all the drivers.
[18:57] <Jewbacca> didnt know it wasnt ok, cuz sometimes i dont want to spam and its hard to follow between all these msgs
[18:57] <Ian_Daniher|XO> Stroganoff: excellent! thanks!
[18:57] <Ian_Daniher|XO> Stroganoff: I've been building my own systems via debootstrap but ubuntu supports all of my netbook's hardware by default
[18:58] <Jewbacca> i installed wget
[18:58] <Jewbacca> how do i use it
[18:58] <jtaji> Jewbacca: best thing is just prefix what you say in here with the intended targets nickname
[18:58] <Mood> can anyone recommend a good protocol to automatically move files from an FTP server to another? maybe a watch daemon? or a cron job?
[18:58] <racecar-56> wget url
[18:58] <Jewbacca> !wget
[18:58] <Jewbacca> and where does it save the files
[18:58] <Kingsid3> Hey all!
[18:58] <poet> does anyone know where network-manager stores the wpa_supplicat configuration files?
[18:58] <racecar-56> where u are
[18:58] <jtaji> Jewbacca: the current directory
[18:58] <racecar-56> if ur in ~ it puts them in ~
[18:58] <Kingsid3> I'm new on this IRC stuff
[18:58] <Jewbacca> which is?
[18:58] <jtaji> Jewbacca: type pwd
[18:58] <prometheus771> hi, what should i type instead device-name in "alsamixer -D device-name" to get controls of specific sound device? Now iam only able to see pulse-audio controls
[18:58] <Jewbacca> i see
[18:59] <mneptok> Jewbacca: it saves to the pwd
[18:59] <Jewbacca> /home/ishai
[18:59] <Besogon> Jewbacca: You may install GWget too
[18:59] <mneptok> (present working directory)
[18:59] <Jewbacca> gwget?
[18:59] <Kingsid3> Does anyone on here use CrunchBang?
[18:59] <racecar-56> gwget fails
[18:59] <mneptok> !info gwget
[18:59] <racecar-56> i hate gwget
[18:59] <za119> can anyone tell me why installing ubunt-xen-server isint givine me the files in /etc
[18:59] <racecar-56> it has dropdown of what u download D=
[18:59] <theunixgeek> Is there a way to graphically modify/create a keyboard layout?
[18:59] <Jewbacca> and in order to use it "gwget url"
[19:00] <Besogon> Jewbacca: Its like wget but more simple and used GUI
[19:00] <mneptok> Jewbacca: Gwget is a GUI app.
[19:00] <KenBW2> jami: i take it im looking for a DVB region code?
[19:00] <za119> PLEASE
[19:00] <Jewbacca> and for download with it i type gwget url ?
[19:00] <macrobad> poet, I believe, it doesn't. Instead network-manager stores the wi-fi settings in DE-specific location. For example, in Ubuntu 8.04 these settings are placed into gconf database at /system/networking/wireless/networks
[19:00] <Jewbacca> and someone here said it fails, so should i stick with wget?
[19:01] <jtaji> Jewbacca: I'm sure it can't do everything wget can do on the command-line, but it might be useful to you
[19:01] <sproaty> err should holding down printscreen generate about 10 "save screenshot" dialogs?
[19:01] <poet> macrobad: hrm, I don't have a /system/networking folder in '/'.  Is it different for 8.10?
[19:01] <sproaty> I just cleaned my prnt scrn key and created like 100 dialogs
[19:02] <mneptok> sproaty: depending on your key repeat rate, yes
[19:02] <jtaji> poet: that's in gconf-editor
[19:02] <Jewbacca> haha owned xD
[19:02] <usr13> sproaty: If you hold down page down, it will keep paging down on the screen too.
[19:02] <Dillizar> !wine
[19:02] <macrobad> poet: I've typed the path relative to the gconf root. Use gconf-editor to access it or check ~/.gconf.d
[19:02] <jami> KenBW2: grep -i dvb /var/log/messages
[19:02] <Jewbacca> sproaty: next time clean it while computer is turned off :>
[19:02] <bakarat> i got a buddy who likes linux, and he wants to learn some CLI stuff, does anyone know a _very_ basic tutorial that explains seriously basic stuff (like difference between relative & absolute path etc)
[19:02] <bakarat> ?
[19:02] <sproaty> I figured the screenshot app would have some limit on number of instances or something
[19:02] <Besogon> Jewbacca: but it have got supporting in Mozila
[19:02] <sproaty> Jewbacca: yeah, I'll pop the key off instead :p
[19:03] <KenBW2> jami: nothing
[19:03] <tweak66> anyone know how to get the 3d windows working in compiz? I turn them on and.. no 3d windows?

[19:06] <za119> oCean_ I have been trying to apt-get install ubuntu-xen-server and it wont bring the file back
[19:06] <yaiba> ?
[19:06] <usr13> lantjie: Perminately or just for the session?
[19:06] <za119> oCean_ I manually deleted it from /etc/ by accident

[19:07] <oCean_> za119: ok. Did you apt-get purge to uninstall?
[19:07] <Pici> za119: ubuntu-xen-server is a metapackage.  You need to purge the xen-tools package and then reinstall it.
[19:07] <tweak66> no luck on the cube either
[19:07] <za119> ill try that thnx

[19:08] <jtaji> lantjie: no, debian systems don't use the runlevels 3 and 5 for no-x/x, it uses 2 by default always
[19:08] <mustangg> Would anyone one be familiar with "mondo", and know why the repo version has "citadel-server" installing as a depends..?
[19:08] <usr13> lantjie: I don't think just changing runlevel will kill X
[19:08] <Besogon> lantjie: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[19:08] <macrobad> jtaji: "sudo service gdm stop"... where does "service" come from? I've always thought it was "invoke-rc.d"
[19:08] <tweak66> i've enabled cube and 3d windows, and changed the numbers t 4, 1, 1... still nothing
[19:08] <usr13> lantjie: sudo pkill X    will prolly do it. OR yes, /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[19:09] <Pici> tweak66: Compiz configuration help in #compiz-fusion
[19:09] <Mood> anyone know of an easy tutorial on inotify? scanning the internets, resources are scant
[19:09] <statham> I'm trying to reinstall grub, but fdisk -l on the ubuntu live cd reports that none of my previous drives were bootable (grub is located on /media/disk/boot/grub, and find /boot/grub/stage1 doesn't report anything. fdisk -l shows two partitions on my drive with very similar sizes... how do I know which one i need to install grub onto? (they both start on the same block and end closely)
[19:09] <jtaji> macrobad: technically invoke-rc.d is not supposed to be used by people, just scripts, so it should have been /etc/init.d gdm stop, but ubuntu 8.10 has added the service command as a handy shortcut
[19:09] <lantjie> oke guys i will try it
[19:09] <lantjie> thanx
[19:09] <jtaji> macrobad: err /etc/init.d/gdm
[19:09] <usr13> lantjie: If you only kill X it will only present you with login again I think
[19:09] <macrobad> jtaji: kk, thanks
[19:09] <KenBW2> jami: i think ive found it
[19:10] <jtaji> macrobad: the service command used to be found only on redhat systems
[19:10] <Jack_Sparrow> statham I can help you with some of that
[19:10] <linux_guy> !paste
[19:10] <outlier> mustangg: maybe it needs a mail service;  I noticed mdadm wants to install citadel also.
[19:10] <usr13> macrobad must have forgot what distro we were working with here....
[19:11] <zmanning> in your guys opinion what is the most stable virtualization software for 8.10?
[19:11] <KenBW2> jami: http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=24038
[19:11] <statham> Jack_Sparrow, please :) (I've done this before but last time it found where grub used to be installed)
[19:12] <macrobad> usr13: :) I'm using Ubuntu 8.04.2 LTS, and there is no "service" command. Hence the question.
[19:12] <lucio12345> rename .MOD .mp4 *.MOD
[19:12] <lucio12345> it doesn't work
[19:12] <Jack_Sparrow> statham Do you have a pastebin of your fdisk
[19:12] <lucio12345> syntax error at (eval 1) line 1, near "."
[19:12] <statham> is there a IRC client on the live cd?
[19:12] <nanotube> statham: yes
[19:12] <nanotube> xchat
[19:12] <statham> that isn't pidgin
[19:12] <Jack_Sparrow> statham yes, pidgin.. not good but it works
[19:13] <jtaji> statham: you can install packages in the livecd (won't touch harddrive)
[19:13] <linux_guy> how can i open one of these pdf's in terminal?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/113729/
[19:13] <Jack_Sparrow> statham If you have net just install xchat in live
[19:13] <nanotube> statham: actually... xchat was on the livecd for some of the older releases... but it may not be on by default anymore. i recall i had to install it manually after i installed intrepid...
[19:13] <statham> jtaji, sudo apt-get install xchat found nothing in the packages list
[19:13] <statham> how do I update the live packages list?
[19:13] <jtaji> statham: sudo apt-get update
[19:13] <Jack_Sparrow> statham xchat-gnome will be there
[19:13] <linux_guy> I'm just trying to learn terminal =)
[19:14] <nanotube> statham: enable the universe repository first
[19:14] <Jack_Sparrow> statham regular xchat was in a different repo
[19:14] <noise> I have Matlab installed and it has always worked well. Now I have installed wine and Matlab doesn't work anymore. When I do ./matlab in the bin folder I get the following error message:
[19:14] <noise> exec: 1: ./matlab.exe: not found
[19:14] <Jack_Sparrow> !info xchat
[19:14] <jtaji> linux_guy: exactly as the dir command has printed them, with \ in front of spaces, or you can quote the whole "file wiht spaces.pdf"
[19:14] <statham> Jack_Sparrow, installing xchat-gnome now thanks
[19:14] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[19:14] <noise> Why does it say anything about .exe?
[19:14] <mustangg> outlier - I thought maybe so at first but can't find anything referencing "mail" on the mondorescue site..
[19:15] <kitche> noise: because it wants to run the .exe file .exe just means executable doesn't necessary have to be a Windows exe
[19:15] <Jack_Sparrow> kitche but it probably is a windows exe
[19:16] <noise> kitche: ok. though why would it start complain about that all by a sudden?
[19:16] <kitche> noise: because it's looking for the .exe file
[19:16] <regex-hater>  ls -C1 /usr/bin | egrep "^a" this list all files thar start with a right?
[19:16] <wahcordian|Work> laters
[19:16] <joshwhat> I've changed my X Server Login Window Preferences to Launch the Chooser instead of the Greeter, and I don't know how to change it back.  Please help me.
[19:16] <kitche> Jack_Sparrow: true but there is a lot of things that are .exe now in the Linux world just can't think of one besides mono related ones
[19:16] <noise> kitche: and why doesn't it find it? :)
[19:16] <pasha> i am having trouble with setting "date" on am ubuntu server. When i run the date -s command it displays the new time, but then returns to the old value.

[19:17] <statham> I assume the two devices starting on the same place are the same physical area of memory, I just don't understand how there can be two partions in one space
[19:17] <Jack_Sparrow> statham2 sdb1 or sdb6 is what we need to mount and look at
[19:18] <Seldaek> i enabled some stupid effect in kde and now i cant view anything anymore in window mode
[19:18] <Jack_Sparrow> May we take this to PM/  if so /join #Jack_Sparrow
[19:18] <Jack_Sparrow> statham May we take this to PM/  if so /join #Jack_Sparrow
[19:18] <Seldaek> any clue how i can reset it from the console ?
[19:18] <zmanning> ATTENTION: kvm vs virtualbox??? :)
[19:18] <statham> Jack_Sparrow, I may be able to solve it from here
[19:18] <macrobad> noise: try one of the following: "locate matlab" - to find all files with such a name; "which matlab" - to identify where what shell starts when you type matlab; or "type matlab" to verify there are no aliases for this word.
[19:18] <Jack_Sparrow> statham You have two choices..
[19:18]  * statham hadn't tried mounting the drives... he assumed they were already mounted
[19:19] <linux_guy> jtaji, command not found?
[19:19] <regex-hater> can someone give me a little help with regex in a private chat?
[19:19] <mneptok> zmanning: is there a support question there?
[19:19] <mib_5k898i> Just installed Ubuntu server, on reboot i get grub error 17, any idea?
[19:19] <zmanning> mneptok: just a general enquiry regarding preference
[19:20] <mneptok> zmanning: -offtopic is better suited for such things.
[19:20] <Jack_Sparrow> statham sudo mkdir /media/sdb1 && mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1	&& sudo mkdir /media/sdb6 && mount /dev/sdb6 /media/sdb6
[19:20] <statham> it is sdb6, thanks
[19:20] <Seldaek> i enabled some stupid effect in kde and now i cant view anything anymore in window mode, any clue how i can reset it from the console ? or someone give me the kde4.2 source url so i can install it and hopefully it resets that crap ?
[19:20] <mneptok> zmanning: and unless you're virtualizing a server, go with Virtualbox
[19:20] <statham> Jack_Sparrow, just did that ;D
[19:20] <Jack_Sparrow> statham np..
[19:20] <commander_> has anyone have OPENOFFICE 3.0?
[19:21] <Seldaek> please? :)
[19:22] <wick2o> please what?
[19:22] <Seldaek> well read up a few lines
[19:22] <macrobad> Seldaek: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh asdf" would reset the settings of package "asdf" to default, I just don't know which package you want to reset.
[19:22] <xjunior> Hi all. I'm on a ubuntu 8.10, using a 17" CRT monitor, but the max resolution I can set is 1024x768. how to fix it?
[19:22] <racecar-56> wow
[19:22] <racecar-56> get video card drivers
[19:22] <Seldaek> macrobad: well im not sure which package kde4.1 is in kubuntu by default
[19:22] <wick2o> xjunior: my guess based on that information would be get a new videocard..assuming its as old as the crt :)
[19:22] <racecar-56> apps>admin>hardware drivers
[19:23] <racecar-56> crt is ancient
[19:23] <xjunior> racecar-56: I'm using nvidia proprietary video driver
[19:23] <racecar-56> hmm
[19:23] <racecar-56> get nvidia off of the nvidia.com site
[19:23] <wick2o> xjunior: did you verify the max resolution on your vid card?
[19:23] <KenBW2> xjunior: ditto - you need to install the graphics drivers
[19:23] <racecar-56> because the repo ones are fail
[19:23] <_VIM_> its not apps>admin>hardware its system>administration>hardware isnt it?
[19:23] <xjunior> wick2o: it's old, but it's 17" and should handle 1280x1024
[19:23] <komputes> is there an equivalen to lsusb/lspci for bluetooth devices?
[19:23] <mneptok> racecar-56: i'm guessing you're under the age of 15.
[19:23] <xjunior> KenBW2: it's installed
[19:23] <KenBW2> xjunior: nvidia/other?
[19:23] <wick2o> xjunior: just because your monitor handles a resolution, does not mean your videcard can push the same resolution
[19:23] <xjunior> wick2o: it can handle 1280x1024
[19:23] <komputes> mneptok: now now, no need to go instlting microp....
[19:24] <xjunior> KenBW2: nvidia
[19:24] <xjunior> wick2o: I said that the video card can d it
[19:24] <wick2o> what brand model number is the crt? its at least worth looking it up using google to verify
[19:24] <KenBW2> xjunior: is it enabled in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers?
[19:25] <macrobad> Seldaek: I have a hate relationship with KDE, but someone could suggest you the name if you tell us which effect you've enabled.
[19:25] <xjunior> KenBW2: yes
[19:25] <linux_guy> i cant seem to open a file in terminal...?
[19:25] <linux_guy> is there an 'open' command?
[19:25] <_VIM_> !Details | linux_guy
[19:26] <KenBW2> xjunior: and System > Preferences > Screen Resolution only allows up to 1024*768?
[19:26] <quassel73> hi i have two computers - one downstairs with kde and openssh-server, and second - my laptop, now i have only shell access to the first computer - it doesnt have any monitor or keyboard, so my question is, how can i set up desktop sharing by using ssh only?
[19:26] <quassel73> hi
[19:26] <xjunior> linux_guy: "a file" ? yes you can.... but which file?
[19:26] <linux_guy> _VIM_, !scroll_up haha
[19:26] <_VIM_> no im too !lazy
[19:26] <_VIM_> ;)
[19:27] <xjunior> KenBW2: yes, only up to 1024x768
[19:27] <linux_guy> http://paste.ubuntu.com/113729/
[19:27] <mneptok> linux_guy: are you referencing the "open" command from OSX/Darwin?
[19:27] <linux_guy> i would like to open one of the pdfs
[19:27] <mneptok> linux_guy: gnome-open /path/to/that.pdf
[19:27] <KenBW2> xjunior: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
[19:28] <linux_guy> mneptok, even if i am in the directory currently?
[19:28] <mneptok> linux_guy: gnome-open that.pdf
[19:28]  * macrobad uses $fh = fopen($filename, "rb"); to open files =)
[19:28] <Tejedor> hello
[19:29] <Tejedor> I want to install ubuntu, but not overwrite my MBR
[19:29] <linux_guy> TUI can be difficult man
[19:29] <xjunior> KenBW2: I have this installed already
[19:29] <KenBW2> xjunior: change it in there
[19:29] <mneptok> linux_guy: "CLI" not "TUI" :)
[19:30] <linux_guy> command line interface, gotcha
[19:30] <poet> I'm using network-manager-pptp to connect to a VPN network.  Everything works, but I'm experiencing periodic disconnects.  Can anyone help me interpret the log file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/113742/
[19:30] <petski> Tejedor: if you want to run both Ubuntu and Windows, http://wubi-installer.org/ might be interesting for you
[19:30] <mneptok> atta boy. :)
[19:30] <KenBW2> xjunior: System > Administration > NVIDIA X Server Settings > X Server Display Configuration > Resolution
[19:30] <nanotube> linux_guy: TUI is a good one, though. :) we should start using it.
[19:30] <xjunior> KenBW2: wow! it's working
[19:30] <KenBW2> xjunior: :D
[19:30] <mib_5k898i> Just installed Ubuntu server, on reboot i get grub error 17, any idea?
[19:30] <mneptok> nanotube: terrible term. sounds like spitting.
[19:30] <xjunior> KenBW2: thank you! ;)
[19:31] <linux_guy> thats what my book says
[19:31] <Mood> what's the latest Database Utilities for Ubuntu 8.10? db4.2-util?
[19:31] <gonlinux> should I be abel to do voice chat with Yahoo folks when I use Gizmo?
[19:31] <linux_guy> text-based user interface
[19:31] <Tejedor> pteski thank you, but my problem is that i only have one hard disc and that i will get into problems if i overwrite the mbr, so i want to install ubuntu, but not grub
[19:31] <Chousuke> CLI != TUI
[19:31] <mneptok> linux_guy: you just described every book and magazine ever published.
[19:31] <rainmanp7> .
[19:32] <linux_guy> excuse me for reading?
[19:32] <fuzzy> hi
[19:32] <rainmanp7> so what MMorpg plays good on this system ?
[19:32] <fuzzy> i got a problem
[19:32] <KenBW2> !ask | fuzzy
[19:32] <fuzzy> for some reason my bootloader (grub) broke
[19:32] <mneptok> linux_guy: no, no. i mean "text based user interface" is excessively vague. that could mean a Unix shell or grafitti on a bridge. ;)
[19:33] <poet> I'm using network-manager-pptp to connect to a VPN network.  Everything works, but I'm experiencing periodic disconnects.  Can anyone help me interpret the log file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/113742/
[19:33]  * linux_guy throws his book across the room
[19:33] <gonlinux> anyone using Gizmo?
[19:34] <_VIM_> my books are pdf's, cant throw them across room linux_guy :P
[19:34] <fuzzy> does anyone know how to fix a grub bootloader?
[19:34]  * fuzzy panics
[19:34] <janisozaur> fuzzy: grub-install ?
[19:34] <janisozaur> fuzzy: provide more details
[19:35] <fuzzy> well i installed linux and then my bootloader broke
[19:35] <mib_5k898i> Is there a text editor i can use when booted into rescue mode?
[19:35] <janisozaur> can i take a screenshot of console?
[19:35] <KenBW2> _VIM_: unless linux_guy is next to you a PDF allows for better digital throwing - more likely than physically throwing to hit him
[19:35] <gonlinux> what is everyone using for voice chat?
[19:35] <ubentu> fuzzy: vi or nano
[19:36] <ubentu> sry. not fuzzy, but mib_...
[19:36] <fuzzy> ya
[19:36] <_VIM_> KenBW2: i could just throw the entire computer that has the pdfs , would that work? :)  ok im shutting up before one of the ops does !OT | _VIM_  or worse :)
[19:36]  * fuzzy is using a live cd now
[19:36] <macrobad> fuzzy: Are you looking for something like this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows ?
[19:36] <oCean_> janisozaur: PrtSc
[19:37] <ubentu> fuzzy: did you backup menu.lst
[19:37] <mib_5k898i> ok, nano does not work, vi does...
[19:37] <gigasoft> hi all
[19:37] <mib_5k898i> I guess I'll have to figure out how to use vi!
[19:37] <_VIM_> mib_5k898i: you make that sound like that's a bad thing
[19:38] <ubentu> mib: yep. check out manual pdfs provided on the net
[19:38] <blanc19> hi people
[19:38] <mneptok> mib_5k898i: "does not work?"
[19:38] <nanotube> mneptok: :)
[19:38] <mib_5k898i> haha, just used to nano
[19:38] <ubentu> vi rocks!
[19:38] <janisozaur> oCean_: my system doesn't know such command and neither does apt. should i fetch source and compile or is there already some package?
[19:38] <fuzzy> ubentu, no i didnt
[19:38] <fuzzy> i think this guy has the same problem
[19:38] <fuzzy> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-installation-40/grub-loading-error-17-381223/
[19:38] <oCean_> janisozaur: I meant the PrintScreen key (PrtSc)
[19:38] <macrobad> mib_5k898i: just press "i", use like notepad, then press "Esc", type ":wq" - and your changes are saved
[19:38] <mib_5k898i> I get error opening terminal: bterm. when i try nano
[19:38] <fuzzy> i tried to load fdisk -l but it gives an error
[19:39] <mib_5k898i> @ macrobad Thanks
[19:39] <janisozaur> oCean_: err... it did nothing
[19:39] <mikeshollen> I don't seem to have the option to connect to my wireless network but when I had Ubuntu 8.10 installed it automatically picked it up.  What can I do to fix this?
[19:39] <Khisanth> oCean_: I don't think that works from the console :)
[19:40] <oCean_> janisozaur: Khisanth ...ow 'console' .. i didn't get that
[19:40] <janisozaur> Khisanth, oCean_: so do i, but it's worth a try ;)
[19:40] <AJC_Z0> When trying to add a JRE to OpenOffice under Tools > Options... > OpenOffice.org > Java any path I add around /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre results in "The folder you selected does not contain a java runtime environment". What am i doing wrong?
[19:40] <AJC_Z0> I have sun-java5-jre installed
[19:41] <oCean_> janisozaur: no gui!?
[19:41] <Khisanth> janisozaur: what are you trying to do with a screenshot?
[19:41] <Mikeher> i finally succeded in installing ubuntu on my laptop by using wubi.. but now i am stuck at the login screen.. it has not frozen but i can't use either the keyboard or the touchpad.. nor can i change to any of the virtual consoles
[19:41] <pZombie> My ubuntu 8.04 install on this pentium m/ ati mobility 9600 notebook works perfectly, including proper gfx accel and sound. Except loging out doesnt work anymore... just gives me a blank screen and the laptop requires a hard power off. any ideas?
[19:41] <janisozaur> oCean_: just console (well, i have xfce, but i want a screenshot of a console)
[19:42] <janisozaur> Khisanth: i want to take a "screenshot" of htop
[19:42] <homecable> do any of u all run denyhosts ?
[19:42] <racecar-56> wut?
[19:42] <janisozaur> i know of scrot and fbgrab, not sure if either works in console
[19:42] <_VIM_> Mikeher: wubi is like eating only a half of a cookie...why not fully install it using dualboot ?
[19:42] <_VIM_> !dualboot
[19:43] <janisozaur> and i have completely no idea how could i use them with htop anyway... still i'd like to do that
[19:43] <oCean_> janisozaur: you could start htop from terminal on xfce right, then take screenshot
[19:44] <janisozaur> oCean_: yes i know, but like i said i want to take a screenshot of console
[19:44] <gonlinux> anyone doing voice chat with ubuntu ??
[19:44] <kapipi> Whats a good method to move ubuntu system from my current disk which is starting to get bad sectors, to a new larger harddrive?
[19:44] <Break-condon> somebody knows how make work silverlight ?
[19:45] <mib_5k898i> vi is useless in rescue console, it does not work correctly
[19:45] <jken146> kapipi: Use gparted to copy the partition.
[19:45] <kapipi> jken146: Will it be able to do that despite bad sectors.
[19:46] <Sa[i]nT> Is there a text editor for Ubuntu that can do FTP like Crimson Editor?
[19:46] <Mikeher> _VIM_ i tried.. but i dont know what went wrong.. i have been using my whole fuckin day installing ubuntu and it seems like it does not like to use my cdrom reader
[19:46] <Flaw> Hi! -- I'm a network engineer, I'm used to running OS X and using Apple Remote Desktop to view/control all of our network's computers in work. We are moving to ubuntu, and our server to ubuntu-server, what's the best equivalent to use?
[19:46] <janisozaur> Sa[i]nT: i believe you can mount ftp path and use gedit and anything that uses gvfs in gnome
[19:46] <reggie> how i configure audio driver for sound card ? ...why there isnt alsaconf in ubuntu ?
[19:46] <kapipi> Mikeher take a deep breath, computers treat you like that once in a while.
[19:47] <Sa[i]nT> janisozaur, I did'nt think of mounting an ftp path.
[19:47] <Flaw> Hi! -- I'm a network engineer, I'm used to running OS X and using Apple Remote Desktop to view/control all of our network's computers in work. We are moving to ubuntu, and our server to ubuntu-server, what's the best equivalent to use?
[19:47] <Break-condon> silverlight in ubuntu?
[19:47] <mikeshollen> Flaw, have you played with Remote Desktop viewer?
[19:47] <Stroganoff> Flaw: it's called "vino"
[19:47] <Stroganoff> Flaw: it's based on VNC
[19:47] <Flaw> mikeshollen: No, is that like Apple Remote Desktop?
[19:48] <Flaw> I like seeing all the computers in a grid format.
[19:48] <kapipi> jken146: I assume you mean running gparted from a livecd right? Or will it copy mounted partitions?
[19:48] <janisozaur> Sa[i]nT: try browsing ftp with nautilus, i think it should mount it automagically
[19:48] <pahaloom> Break-condon, what about silverlight? .Net applications in general work through mono
[19:48] <mikeshollen> Stroganoff: wouldn't vnc open up security issues compared to the remote desktop feature?
[19:48] <janisozaur> pahaloom: there is moonlight by novell
[19:48] <Stroganoff> mikeshollen: the remote desktop feature = vino = vnc
[19:48] <jken146> kapipi: It might copy them, not sure.  It won't delete, move or resize them though.
[19:48] <mikeshollen> Ah
[19:49] <pahaloom> Break-condon, silverlight is claimed to work on other platforms too, but haven't had any reason to try
[19:49] <mikeshollen> Flaw: go to your applications menu
[19:49] <mikeshollen> Flaw: select internet - Remote Desktop
[19:49] <Break-condon> netflix ask for silverlight and i want work in ubuntu
[19:49] <pahaloom> Break-condon, what is netflix? some web page?
[19:50] <hejdixon> where can i find the file I'm editing with the command "crontab -e" ?
[19:50] <janisozaur> Break-condon: last time i entered a website that required silvelight i clicked to install it, it directed me to microsoft and then i clicked "install" and was redirected to novell website with moonlight
[19:50] <Break-condon> is a web server and u can watch movies online
[19:50] <Flaw> mikeshollen: That will show all networked pc's in a grid format?
[19:50] <Flaw> And let me install software remotely, etc.
[19:51] <meyou> Break-condon: www.mono-project.com/Moonlight ?
[19:51] <mikeshollen> Flaw: I don't use the feature yet, I honestly couldn't tell you one way or another.  I would imagine it would allow for remote software installation.  Most VNC clients do.
[19:51] <Break-condon> i install moonlight but dont work
[19:51] <mikeshollen> Flaw: And if you're an Apple Guy, you can get Jaadu VNC for your iPhone and you could probably get that sync'd up to Remote Desktop Viewer to administer from anywhere :-)
[19:51] <mib_5k898i> Does any one know how to fix error 13 when booting, I cant even get to the grub menu, it gives this error first, I need to add acpi=off in grub, but I cant get to it
[19:52] <mib_5k898i> vi in recovery mode is useless
[19:52] <Flaw> mikeshollen: OK! The only thing I was worried about, is Apple Remote Desktop is SO good at the moment, it does everything we need and it's so simple to use. I don't want to be typing local IP addresses, entering username and passwords just to connect to a network PC.
[19:53] <Flaw> Our current software just shows all computers in a grid format, double-click and it appears.
[19:53] <_VIM_> Flaw: that sounds like neat software :)
[19:54] <Flaw> _VIM_: it is.
[19:54] <_VIM_> whats it called?
[19:54] <mikeshollen> Flaw: Maybe someone else knows?  The VNC stuff I used with Windows required you to enter the username and password for each device one time.  After that it would show up in list format and you could connect to everything with one click.
[19:54] <Flaw> Apple Remote Desktop, _VIM_
[19:54] <_VIM_> ah
[19:54] <Flaw> it's a good piece of kit!

[19:56] <pahaloom> Flaw, isn't that because mac's have bonjour or something similar to discover eachother running by default??
[19:56] <mikeshollen> Does anyone have any idea why my wireless card just showed up with 8.10 but with 8.04 it only seems to recognize my ethernet connection?
[19:56] <MicroBill> Break-condon, ubuntu installing moonlight  <--- google try the im feeling lucky button
[19:56] <mikeshollen> Pahaloom: Yes, I don't believe Bonjour uses IP addresses.
[19:57] <Break-condon> i install fro the web site them u give me, but its the same problem
[19:57] <pahaloom> mikeshollen, why not?
[19:57] <Flaw> pahaloom: we don't use the Bonjour functionality, we're spread out over three complexes.
[19:58] <mikeshollen> Pahaloom: I don't really now.  I use it in a school that I administer and it works great for one intranet but as Flaw points out, I don't believe it works over the internet.
[19:58] <Mithsir> Hi! Sound over my USB soundcard is kind of choppy (I hear cracks). How can I fix that (ubuntu 8.04)?
[19:59] <pahaloom> Break-condon, when some web site's custom application does not work on every platform, thent it's their problem. You can write them a letter or smthing...
[19:59] <Flaw> ok, thanks for your time!
[19:59] <toughmindjob> Has anyone a running ubuntu on a thinkpad w500?
[20:01] <pahaloom> mikeshollen, indeed, it is supposed to be only in the local intranet - but i'm not an expert... what other thing could make remote desktop software to "ping for any nearby remote machine"??
[20:01] <cb122> Break-Condon from what I read netflix only uses silverlight 2 whereas moonlight is built on 1.X
[20:02] <Jack_Sparrow> statham Im back
[20:02] <mikeshollen> Pahaloom: I don't know.  Mine didn't ping for it, you just made a list of all the stuff you wanted to be able to connect to during the setup process, and whether or not it was active, it showed up in the list.  If you tried to connect to a computer that was, say turned off, it would hit you with an error letting you know your connection timed out.
[20:02] <cb122> google ubuntu netflix moonlight for more details
[20:02] <mikeshollen> Pahaloom: I'm sure it's possible, I just never really went looking for that kind of software.
[20:03] <MicroBill> noob question incomming... any one else has problems mounting samba shares in 8.10? get permission denied when im trying to brows the folder i mounted the share to? (works lika a charm in opensuse, xp, and previous ubuntu installations iw had)
[20:03] <SxNDave> toughmindjob: Google believes yes.
[20:04] <AAETPIO> yes i have trouble browsing samba shares in 8.10.  i'm glad i'm not alone.  i wasn't sure if it was a service i accidentally turned off or not.
[20:04] <red_> Hey, I have a HP 6735s laptop with an ATI Radeon HD 2300 video controller.  Whenever I try to do something in 3D fullscreen, the screen goes all scrambly. Can anyone help?
[20:04] <ubentu> SxNDave: lol
[20:04] <SxNDave> :)
[20:05] <MicroBill> nighter mount -t cifs / smbfs or smbmount works...can however softmount in nautilus...
[20:05] <nathanhelp> I've been hearing about "dont use root" or "use a low level login". What does this mean?
[20:05] <maria> is this the official ubuntu channel?
[20:05] <erUSUL> !sudo | nathanhelp
[20:05] <erUSUL> maria: yes
[20:05] <maria> hmmm
[20:05] <AAETPIO> red_, can you define scrambly ?  that only thing i can suggest, that if the default drivers do not work, then give the restricted drivers for the ATI card a shot.  you can always turn off the restricted drivers.  by default ubuntu tries to use open source drivers
[20:06] <wolter> hi, if i get asked for boost, do i have to download boost-jam?
[20:06] <MicroBill> AAETPIO, lol looks like its just the two of us
[20:06] <nathanhelp> So installing things needs root?
[20:06] <red_> AAETPIO, I'm already using the restricted drivers.  The default drivers don't provide 3D acceleration at all. By "scrambly" I mean "I can't make out anything at all, it's so mixed up"
[20:07] <Andrai> how can i build my own ubuntu's .deb package?
[20:07] <erUSUL> wolter: afaik you should install libboost-whateveryouneed
[20:07] <pahaloom> MicroBill, try using "nautilus smb://" style URL from command line. man pages of smb* commands help too
[20:07] <erUSUL> !packaging | Andrai
[20:07] <erUSUL> nathanhelp: yes
[20:07] <mikeshollen> I can't seem to see my wireless card when I click on the internet connection icon at the top right of the screen.  With 8.10 it automatically picked up my network but with 8.04 it's not showing up.
[20:08] <illsorted> where should I keep source code files for packages that I have to download/configure/make after I install them?
[20:08] <AAETPIO> red_, ooh.  hmm.  i'm not sure.  you might try radeonhd drivers, either experimental or otherwise.  there is a link on the phoronix forums on how to use those.  its worth a shot, at least, when all other options fail.  granted, thats given i dont know how to tweak your existing settings.  who knows you might find someone on those forums that can be of help to you
[20:08] <erUSUL> mikeshollen: well hardware support may be better on the newer ubuntu
[20:09] <kaktuskatta> Hi! I need some help finding out whether I have the required software needed to upgrade my display drivers or not. How do I check wheter I have kernel module build environment?
[20:09] <wolter> thanks erUSUL
[20:09] <erUSUL> illsorted: you do not need to keep the code araund
[20:09] <red_> AAETPIO, Thanks for the tip
[20:09] <erUSUL> kaktuskatta: you need build-essential and 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)'
[20:09] <nickrud_> kaktuskatta, sudo apt-get install build-essential  linux-headers-$(uname -r) , and you wll have the right env.
[20:10] <kaktuskatta> ok thanks
[20:10] <maria> just that i see another channel saying it's the official channel of ubuntu
[20:10] <nathanhelp> erUSUL: How do I know if I'm logged in as root / admin user or not?
[20:10] <kaktuskatta> this is necessary to do for every upgrade of the kernel in other words?
[20:10] <maria> Topic:  Ubuntu's official community and professional support channel.
[20:10] <nickrud_> maria, this is most definitely the official support channel.
[20:10] <nathanhelp> erUSUL: Let me rephrase
[20:10] <famio> nathanhelp: in a terminal type "whoami"
[20:11] <erUSUL> maria: tere are other "official" channels... loco teams has channels xubuntu and kubuntu has they own channel #ubuntu-server etc...
[20:11] <AAETPIO> red, there are also some other, uhm, expermental drivers that are referenced, that are open source, on the phoronix site.  i've had better luck with the open source drivers for ATI cards, than the official ATI drivers, especially with 3d support, but if all else fails, envyng-gtk is in the repo
[20:11] <erUSUL> nathanhelp: in ubuntu you do not log as root (you can't the root account is disabled) you use sudo
[20:11] <erUSUL> !irc | maria
[20:11] <nickrud_> maria: if they are on freenode irc server, and start with #ubuntu* then they are offical channels; all others are pretenders
[20:12] <maria> oh ok
[20:13] <mikedep333> hey, how do I change the domain/workgroup name of my 8.10 box?
[20:14] <ubentu> !irc | ubentu
[20:14] <Thisdude> hey i'm using private files and content profile, i want the admin to be able to upload files that only the user the admin specifies can see and download the documents (users cannot upload) i used CCK to add a user dropdown list to the Content_Profile node add page; but when after i've uploaded a file to say test's account all registered users can see it not only test. Anyone have any ideas how i could accomplish this?
[20:15] <Thisdude> maybe if someone knows how i can alter the create a content profle page's code i can add some php
[20:15] <nickrud_> mikedep333, edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and change the workgroup; then sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[20:15] <famio> Thisdude, maybe you want to ask that @ #drupal ??
[20:15] <Thisdude> yah, damn sorry
[20:15] <wolter> how do i get ownership of all files and folders through the terminal?
[20:15] <blip-> hi, i'm running noobuntu 8.04,  for some reason some of my keyboard shortcuts for the openbox wm i'm using stop working after the system is put into suspend2ram and then woken up.  any ideas ?    thanks
[20:15] <Thisdude> that was not intended for this channel
[20:15] <erUSUL> wolter: all?
[20:16] <mikedep333> nickrud_: isn't there a way to change it for the entire system?
[20:16] <wolter> erUSUL, everything... even files inside folders of the folders.
[20:16] <blip-> under kde,  alt-f2 and altf4 work fine though
[20:16] <famio> mikedep333: nickrud's way is for entire system
[20:16] <mikedep333> linux gets its domain name from samba?
[20:16] <erUSUL> wolter: you mean a folder and its subfolders including files... use the -R switch for chown/chmod
[20:16] <MartinII> Hello people
[20:17] <erUSUL> wolter: but only use it inside your home folder....
[20:17] <abchirk_> isn't there an equailizer for rhytmnbox?
[20:17] <wolter> erUSUL, yeah, thanks!
[20:17] <mikeshollen> erUSUL: The reason I switched to 8.04 is because i was having trouble with graphics drivers for 8.10
[20:17] <erUSUL> wolter: unless you really know what you are doing
[20:17] <nathanhelp> famio, erUSUL: I want to "secure" my computer. I am the Admin for this computer with direct login from bootup. My kids have little access to the computer physically and only go on when I'm around (all three are under 6years old). I trust my wife explicitly - so don't want to restrict her. Physically I'm secure from intrusions. What about the Net? Ubuntu is a completely different environment from Windows and I'm slowly becoming used to it, however I don't
[20:17] <mikeshollen> Do I have any options for getting my wireless card working in 8.04
[20:18] <nathanhelp> Do I need to have another login for my computer?
[20:18] <mikedep333> nathanhelp: ubuntu will automatically prompt you to install security updates
[20:18] <mikedep333> that will keep you pretty secure over the net
[20:18] <mikedep333> it has no services running by default, eg, file sharing
[20:18] <famio> mikedep333: short answer "yes", IOW samba is the software you use to connect to all kinds of "microsoft" networks
[20:18] <joco> nathanhelp: There are some packages that make it child safe.. there is also user switching,,put them on a non admin account
[20:18] <nanotube> nathanhelp: well... make a non-admin account for your kids
[20:19] <erUSUL> nathanhelp: for you wifes and kids ? well that's how i canfigured my computer (there is no dirct loging on boot) and all the users have its own account
[20:19] <maco> mikedep333: itd help if you stated what wireless crd you have
[20:19] <StEaLtHtHiEf> I have a programming gig and I need to time the response from an echo server.  I don't have an echo server to test with.  Anyone know of one I could send a few messages to?
[20:19] <ruben> Hello
[20:19] <mikedep333> maco: wrong person
[20:19] <maco> mikedep333: sorry
[20:19] <MartinII> I just installed Ubuntu as my first Linux distro ever and right now I'm trying to get my TV capture card to work. The guide tells me to add a line to /etc/modules.d/dvb but the folder modules.d does not exist in /etc - Did I miss something?
[20:19] <mikedep333> alright I'll just use smb.conf, thx
[20:19] <Jack_Sparrow> StEaLtHtHiEf Wrog channel.. this is Ubuntu Support
[20:19] <maco> mikeshollen: helps if you tell which NIC is the trouble
[20:19] <nanotube> nathanhelp: other than that... the only thing an "admin" account can do than a non-admin cannot is use sudo.
[20:19] <StEaLtHtHiEf> where should i go?
[20:19] <nickrud_> mikedep3m33, not an expert with samba by any means; http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/domain-member.html has details
[20:20] <mikedep333> ok, thanks
[20:20] <erUSUL> MartinII: use /etc/modprobe.d/
[20:20] <ruben> I can't mount my dvd drive, can anybody help me?
[20:20] <yoyit2> for some reason i cant get mp4s to play on totem anymore (i have all the codecs/pluings) ..it worked a few days ago.. but now when i try and play mp3's it says Error. so then i tried sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras and that just said that another program might be using it so i couldnt view it... HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[20:20] <MartinII> Okay, thanks erUSUL
[20:20] <LuXor> hey guys how to create a ubuntu theme?
[20:20] <AAETPIO> mikeshollen, of course you do.  you need to find the exact chipset of your wireless.  if it doesn't "just work"  then see what other solutions others have had for that chipset through google.  if its upsupported, madwifi, works for atheros chipset, or for broadcom, there have been some reverse engineered solutions that have worked better for me, than the ones included in restricted drivers
[20:20] <nanotube> StEaLtHtHiEf: look at the channel list... maybe #programming exists. or #yourprogramminglanguageofchoice
[20:20] <joco> nathanhelp: There is also a fast user switching agent, widget, do-dad, keeps the admin logged in but password protected and the other users can play all day.
[20:21] <LuXor> somebody will tell me?
[20:21] <Jack_Sparrow> LuXor try gnome-look.org
[20:21] <nickrud_> LuXor, gnome-look.org has some tutorials
[20:21] <mikedep333> nathanhelp: http://ubuntuce.com/
[20:22] <CzarAlex> my `top` shows 0.00  server load for all three values. I know its not accurate as I have several things running. Did something break?
[20:22] <mikedep333> Ubuntu Christian Edition also includes fully integrated web content parental controls powered by Dansguardian. A graphical tool to adjust the filter settings has also been developed specifically for Ubuntu Christian Edition. These features are truly what sets Ubuntu Christian Edition apart.
[20:22] <funeral> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmPmIJyi0sc&feature=related
[20:22] <Jack_Sparrow> mikedep333 Drop it
[20:22] <AAETPIO> mikeshollen try sudo lshw -c for the chipset for your wireless.  i believe thats what people use to look those sort of things up
[20:22] <nathanhelp> Whyd you give me that mike?
[20:22] <erUSUL> mikeshollen: «lshw -C Network»
[20:23] <KenBW2> what's KERNEL_DIR?
[20:23] <pZombie>  which file do i need to edit(or is there a menu) to set gdm as my default dm?
[20:23] <Pici> pZombie: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[20:23] <erUSUL> KenBW2: usually a env variable that points to the kernel source directory iirc
[20:23] <KenBW2> erUSUL: where is it in ubuntu?
[20:24] <erUSUL> KenBW2: if you do not install the linux kernel sources it is nowhere... better tell us what are you doing or trying
[20:25] <famio> pZombie, i haven't tried it, but maybe you could do that easiliy with the alternatives system, check "update-alternatives" command
[20:25] <LuXor> nickrud, please url, i cant find it
[20:25] <KenBW2> erUSUL: http://web.archive.org/web/20061001095523/http://www.averm.co.uk/avermedia/docs/pdf/linux.txt <-- "In KERNEL_DIR, % make menuconfig"
[20:25] <Jack_Sparrow> !themes
[20:25] <zerotruths> Hi, would anyone per chance happen to know how to permanently remove compcache?
[20:25] <famio> pZombie: alternative to select would be "x-session-manager"
[20:26] <erUSUL> KenBW2: you are recompiling a kernel ?
[20:26] <KenBW2> erUSUL: erm, i dont really know
[20:26] <cyrus__> how do you permanently set the cpu_frequency scaling_governor to a certain value
[20:26] <KenBW2> erUSUL: i'm trying to get my TV card working
[20:26] <famio> cyrus__: is that a sysctl value?
[20:26] <danbhfive> anyone here happen to have a working webcam, but doesn't work in cheese?
[20:26] <erUSUL> KenBW2: the driver is already built in ubuntu dvb-bt8xx
[20:27] <cyrus__> it is in the /sys directory
[20:27] <erUSUL> KenBW2: just try « sudo modprobe dvb-bt8xx »
[20:27] <pZombie> nice picci, that worked
[20:27] <cyrus__> doesn't sysctl conrol the /proc values?
[20:27] <on-the-way> --
[20:27] <KenBW2> erUSUL: no output
[20:27] <LuXor> nickrud, will you?
[20:28] <pZombie> but what exactly does dpkg-reconfigure do? does it call some standard configure script most packages have with them?
[20:28] <erUSUL> KenBW2: good do «tail /var/log/messages » post the output to paste.ubuntu.com
[20:28] <Pici> pZombie: Yes.
[20:28] <erUSUL> pZombie: exactly
[20:28] <pZombie> ah nice, good to know
[20:28] <Skaag> is there something better than Zimbra as a mail server? :)
[20:28] <Skaag> I'm contemplating what to install
[20:28] <nathanhelp> In Ubuntu, I have pidgin running, but the main program window has disappeared. I also have experienced this in other programs when I know a program is running, but can't find them via alt+tab. How do i go about getting those windows back?
[20:28] <erUSUL> Skaag: postfix
[20:29] <erUSUL> ?
[20:29] <KenBW2> erUSUL: http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=24040
[20:29] <Skaag> I've used postfix, exim, qmail/vpopmail, etc...
[20:29] <Skaag> I know them all very well
[20:29] <famio> cyrus__ yes, i asked cause i don't know if cpufreq is a value that can be controlled via sysctl, as in that case it would be permanently settable in sysctl.conf
[20:29] <carpii_> what do you need that postfix isnt doing well ?
[20:29] <step21> nathanhelp: is there an icon still in the statusbar? upper right normally
[20:29] <Jewbacca> hi, how can i set my mouse configerations to default
[20:29] <pZombie> hm, thats really weird. my ubuntu doesnt like gdm it seems. using kdm i can logout, but with gdm i just get a blank screen, even after reinstalling the package
[20:30] <pZombie> it hangs and i have to do a hard power off
[20:30] <wolter> hi, I am trying to play a game that uses fmod, where can i get that?
[20:30] <nathanhelp> step21:  um....I customised my panels. :)
[20:30] <erUSUL> KenBW2: can you post the output of « ls /dev/video* » ?
[20:30] <nathanhelp> step21: But i dont know what panel or "program" monitors running programs.
[20:30] <Skaag> carpii_: calendar sync, global address book, iphone push mail, outlook integration, etc.
[20:30] <KenBW2> erUSUL: "/dev/video0"
[20:31] <carpii_> oh i see.
[20:31] <Jewbacca> hi, how can i set my mouse configerations to default
[20:31] <erUSUL> KenBW2: do you have a wecam or something like that?
[20:31] <Davedan> I'm installing a package with apt-get install. If this package has config files, can I find out where these files are using a script?
[20:31] <KenBW2> erUSUL: nope
[20:31] <pZombie> what can cause such behaviour? gdm itself the login screen works fine. its just when i logout it hangs completly. Any logout script i can edit ?
[20:31] <erUSUL> KenBW2: seems you tv capture card is already "working" /dev/video0 is the device file asociated with it
[20:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Davedan synaptic will show you filenames and folders
[20:32] <step21> nathanhelp: the task panel/bar and the status bar (hope that'swhat they're called) especially pdgin might remove itself from the normal task list to save space, then double clicking its icon in the status panel should bring it back
[20:32] <erUSUL> KenBW2: have you tried any software with it ?
[20:32] <KenBW2> erUSUL: oh, so what do i need to do with it?
[20:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Cheese
[20:32] <nathanhelp> step21: Would that status bar be "notification" area?
[20:32] <KenBW2> erUSUL: yea, tvtime, MeTV
[20:32] <Davedan> Jack_Sparrow: I need to do it programatically
[20:32] <erUSUL> KenBW2: tvtime and the like shold be able to use the device to work
[20:33] <step21> nathanhelp: yeah
[20:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Davedan If you are trying to write a program to do it.. you have the wrong channel
[20:33] <redvamp128> Quick question -- Can anyone see any problems installing Fedora 10  on a second hard drive-- and would it add itself to my current grub or would I have tom manually add ubuntu to its grub later.
[20:33] <nathanhelp> step21: I dont think i was clear enough. When i customised my panels I dont have the notification area anymore. :)
[20:33] <KenBW2> erUSUL: MeTV tells me "Failed to open tuner: No such device"
[20:33] <KenBW2> erUSUL: tvtime simply doesn't pick up any channels on a scan
[20:33] <nathanhelp> step21: So if i add "notification area" to a panel it might be there?
[20:33] <step21> nathanhelp: well, then either tell the programs not to do that, or re-add it
[20:33] <step21> yeah it might be there
[20:34] <Jack_Sparrow> redvamp128 It will not add itself to your grub, it will use its own bootloader that may or may not see and connect ubuntu to its' bootloader
[20:34] <erUSUL> KenBW2: :| i do not have uch experience with tv cards... but the driver is installed seems like a program configuration issue
[20:34] <KenBW2> erUSUL: something as simple as using the wrong PAL perhaps?

[20:37] <erUSUL> Mood: apt-cache policy package-name
[20:37] <Mood> erUSUL: yes, i know about apt-cache policy. the problem is that the version of the package is in the name itself :-/
[20:37] <Mood> erUSUL: db4.3-util, or db4.4-util, etc
[20:37] <Chaorain> booting from a sata hard drive gives a "cannot detect boot device" help?
[20:37] <letalis> is there a command that will allow you to search the package database from the cli to search for something like the dev headers for xlib?
[20:37] <KenBW2> erUSUL: that didnt work, but ill keep fishing. thanks :)
[20:38] <erUSUL> Mood: so what is the problem exactly ? you know the version aviable
[20:38] <Mood> erUSUL: i do not know what version is available
[20:38] <IntuitiveNipple> Mood: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=db&searchon=names&suite=intrepid&section=all
[20:38] <nDuff> letalis, apt-cache search xlib?
[20:38] <nathanhelp> oh! The notification panel is the status bar and it fills up automatically! cool.
[20:38] <letalis> cool ty
[20:39] <Mood> IntuitiveNipple: thank you kind sir
[20:39] <CarlFK> anyone know what flavor of linux this ships with?  http://www.buy.com/prod/acer-emachines-520-2496-notebook-intel-celeron-m-575-2ghz-15-4-wxga/q/loc/101/209114569.html
[20:39] <russia213> I'm installing Ubuntu right now on an external hard drive, where do I install the boot loader to?
[20:39] <nathanhelp> step21: cool thanks for you help :)
[20:39] <nathanhelp> *your
[20:39] <step21> nathanhelp: your welcome
[20:40] <abstortedminds> is kde-nightly the closest to kde 4.2 release there is in ubuntu
[20:40] <nDuff> russia213, if your BIOS can boot directly off that external drive, I'd install the bootloader to the MBR of the drive itself.
[20:40] <Jewbacca> how can i set my mouse settings to default?
[20:40] <abstortedminds> kde 4.2 was released 2 days ago
[20:40] <abstortedminds> so why  is it still nightly
[20:40] <blip-> hi, how can i change the font size of skype under ubunt 8.04
[20:40] <fuzz> well that was fun
[20:41] <russia213> nDuff: My BIOS doesn't support boot from USB port
[20:41] <AAETPIO> CarlFK, i'm not sure the answer to your question.  my laptop though, is a rebranded acer, and it works really well with intrepid.  it was made in 2008 or 2009, if your looking to put ubuntu on it, chances are, you'll have good luck.  you might want to research the chipset of the wireless on it though.  mine is atheros, which is problem free.  there might be others, that require, minimal extra effort every kernel update
[20:41] <Jewbacca> where can i configure my monitor resulotion and hz ?
[20:41] <ubentu> blip: no idea, but would be good to know
[20:41] <fosco_> Jewbacca: system - preferences - screen
[20:42] <chris____> Hey guys, ive just removed a couple of user accounts - but there crontabs are still executing?
[20:42] <AAETPIO> Jewbacca, try system-preferences-screen resolution
[20:43] <russia213> Hello?
[20:43] <Jewbacca> i dont have it
[20:43] <chris____> And when I try to remove the crontab manually it complains about -u username as the user has already been removed..
[20:43] <chris____> any ideas? :)
[20:43] <Jewbacca> or i have it but i fail to translate it from hebrew xD
[20:43] <Jewbacca> is there a cmd to get there?
[20:43] <nDuff> russia213, ...then you'll need to install it somewhere your BIOS *can* boot from, or use something like SYSLINUX to bootstrap from DOS.
[20:43] <abstortedminds> is kde-nightly the lastest in ubuntu repository?
[20:43] <abstortedminds> or is the official one available yet
[20:43] <fosco_> Jewbacca: just run gnome-display-properties
[20:44] <Jewbacca> fosco_:  how do i do that?
[20:44] <CarlFK> AAETPIO: thanks.  trying to figure out if I can recommend it to a waiter at a restaurant i go to.  i could install ubuntu on it, but im not looking to become this guys tech support
[20:44] <fosco_> Jewbacca: wow man, open a terminal and type gnome-display-properties
[20:44] <cris_> hi, guys
[20:44] <ChronosZA> are the foomatic printer drivers intended primarily for locally connected printers or should it be irrelevant that the printer is on another, windows machine?
[20:44] <cris_> need help to use linux on ipaq
[20:44] <Jack_Sparrow> CarlFK # Free Ubuntu Book:    http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download.html
[20:45] <immortaly007> Hello everyone!
[20:45]  * nDuff wonders how Wubi bootstraps
[20:45] <damjan_> hy
[20:45] <russia213> nDuff: Would I install it on the primary C:\ drive then?
[20:45] <Jewbacca> ok it worked, now plz how can i set mouse settings to default
[20:45] <immortaly007> uhm i installed ubuntu today using wubi but apparently
[20:45] <Jack_Sparrow> cris_ Wrong channel..  there is a channel for netbook
[20:45] <immortaly007> But I have no sound in lots of apps
[20:45] <miso> hi , exist some easy way how to extract license names from curently instaled packages
[20:45] <miso> ?
[20:46] <AAETPIO> CarlFK, i see.  hmm, well to be honest, i've no idea what they put on acers for their linux notebooks.  if he can handle ubuntu, it works fine, its literally, easier to support, in general, even if he doesn't go through you, than other distributions (through say, google)
[20:46] <Jack_Sparrow> immortaly007 You wont catch me running a wubi based install
[20:46] <fosco_> Jewbacca: system-preferences-mouse
[20:46] <wolter> how do i mass search text in a directory? I want to get results from text files that have that text
[20:46] <immortaly007> Does it really matter that much Jack Sparrow?
[20:46] <fosco_> wolter: grep text files
[20:46] <Jack_Sparrow> immortaly007 Absolutely
[20:46] <lstarnes> wolter: grep -nHR "text" directory
[20:46] <immortaly007> Hmm ok
[20:47] <Jack_Sparrow> immortaly007 Do a regular partition install..
[20:47] <boerge> #ubuntu.de
[20:47] <nDuff> russia213, ...there are probably much more modern ways to do this, actually, than what I'm thinking of -- SYSLINUX has been around ages. That said, it's just visible as a DOS app, so you can run it off of any drive you can see when at a prompt.
[20:47] <Jewbacca> fosco_:  i dont have an option to bring it to default
[20:47] <CarlFK> AAETPIO: if I knew it shipped with ubuntu, I would feel ok recommending it.  otherwise I kinda wanna stay out of it
[20:47] <Jewbacca> i change something there and now the mouse move weird
[20:49] <chris____> can I get a full list of all users cron tabs on a machine?
[20:49] <immortaly007> I was just using dus wubi install to try Ubuntu you know
[20:49] <cris_> Jack_Sparrow: ok, sorry, have a good day
[20:49] <Jack_Sparrow> cris_ netbook remix or something like that
[20:49] <AAETPIO> CarlFK, a simple google search suggests they are using ubuntu  at least, the ones they sell in singapore (official acer with linux laptops)  http://laptoping.com/acer-aspire-5710z-ubuntu-linux.html
[20:50] <russia213> nDuff: At the installation page, which I'm looking at right now, it asks me which device to install my boot loader, which one should I choose?
[20:50] <Jack_Sparrow> immortaly007 YEa, I am touchy about people using wubi,  too many people trash thier systems just by powering off.
[20:50] <racecar-56> brb
[20:50] <immortaly007> But does anyone have a clue why I have sound in using Java in mozilla (for example RuneScape) but not in Pidgin, VLC player and rythmbox?
[20:50] <AAETPIO> CarlFK, seems they are competing with Dell.   cool :)
[20:50] <immortaly007> Ow Yeah @ Jack I had that once already xD
[20:51] <Jack_Sparrow> immortaly007 Be happy it didnt take down your ntfs windows install with it
[20:51] <nDuff> russia213, if you don't mind having your computer always come up with a menu to ask if it should boot Linux or Windows, just put it on the hard drive you normally boot from
[20:51] <erUSUL> Mood: sorry away for a while... " i do not know what version is available " -> apt-cache policy tells you
[20:51] <immortaly007> :O COuld it do that ...
[20:51] <CarlFK> AAETPIO: thanks.  that's encouraging
[20:51] <Jack_Sparrow> yep
[20:51] <immortaly007> Hmm perhaps I should make a partition then...
[20:51] <immortaly007> But first I want this version to wrok xD
[20:51] <nDuff> russia213, if you decide you don't want it later, you can tell Windows to rewrite the MBR and get rid of it.
[20:51] <Jack_Sparrow> immortaly007 read the fine print on the wubi faq page
[20:51] <immortaly007> ok
[20:52] <KenBW2> anyome with knowledge of TV cards want to help me through http://web.archive.org/web/20061001095523/http://www.averm.co.uk/avermedia/docs/pdf/linux.txt ?
[20:52] <russia213> nDuff: Thank you for your help ^^ That answers my question
[20:52] <fosco_> Jewbacca: these are my options (default) http://picasaweb.google.com/fosco222/FlockPhotos#5299047664343062386

[20:58] <jonstetler> what is dd? does it have something to do with writing the hard byte to zeros?
[20:58] <fosco_>        dd - convert and copy a file
[20:59] <fosco_> dd is used to raw-copy files and devices
[20:59] <thebishop> hello, my open file dialog always opens too small and cramped.  it also shows hidden folders/files.  how can i fix this?
[20:59] <alien_> every time i boot up ubuntu 8.10, my window control buttons are gone, there is no close, maximize ,and minimize buttons, how to fix this?
[21:00] <jonstetler> fosco_:I need to fix my hdd becuase I can't get windows to install and someone told me about dd just I was just wonder if that might help?
[21:00] <fosco_> jonstetler: it may help, and it can destroy all your data, take care
[21:00] <_VIM_> jonstetler: i'd try clonezilla
 <-- type alt+f2 then "metacity --replace", do the window decorations come back?
[21:02] <alien_> statham, what I usually do, I go to settings, appearance, and try to enable advanced graphics, and that fixes the thing, let me try to put this command in auto run, thanks
[21:03] <Feuerklinge> i have openoffice calc and if i press "m3" it gives me "m³". does someone know how i can get "m3" to the screen?
[21:03] <nib> Hello, I'm trying to share folder, but I would like to add a password (samba)
[21:03] <nib> I'm able to add one password
[21:03] <jonstetler> _VIM_: I got a virus and it crashed everything I had dual boot with vista and ubuntu 8.10 and nothing would work. so I just wiped everything out but now windows will not install. so clonezilla sets bytes to all zeros?
[21:03] <nib> but I want a different password/user per folder
[21:04] <[coda]> does anybody know why xrandr could be missing my svideo output?
[21:04] <[coda]> I have a intel's 82865G integrated video card, and xrandr is not detecting it :(
[21:05] <_VIM_> jonstetler: im not totally postive, but i think clonezilla uses dd, it's just ncurses interface (so it's sort of a GUI) to dd... maybe some of the pros in here could explain more
[21:05] <Feuerklinge> coda is your screen 100% campatible with pc?
[21:05] <jonstetler> _VIM_: ok thanks
[21:05] <couch> could anyone tell me how to install the network drivers for virtualbox?
[21:06] <Feuerklinge> coda is your screen 100% campatible with pc?
[21:06] <_VIM_> np jonstetler be very careful clonezilla can be dangerious
[21:06] <linkmaster03> how can I set a window to urgent in compiz?
[21:06] <_VIM_> i accidentally wiped my 300 gig external hdd wit clonezilla :)
[21:07] <ezerhoden> how to trouble shoot what is holding audio hostage? i may have played a feed over the internet the other day, now skype can not use the audio device. is this pusleaudio or some mixer problem?
[21:07] <Feuerklinge> i have openoffice calc and if i press "m3" it gives me "m³". does someone know how i can get "m3" to the screen?
[21:08] <[coda]> Feuerklinge: yeap.. at least I can see all the boot process through the TV
[21:08] <Johne5> is anyone in here running ubuntu on an ibook g4 ppc?
[21:08] <[coda]> Feuerklinge: even the ubuntu logo while it loads
[21:08] <alexei> Where do I start configuring mail transfer agent? I get this on Intrepid: "Mailing to remote domains not supported .... Received: from alexei by novo with local (Exim 4.69)"
[21:09] <Jack_Sparrow> !ppc > Johne5
[21:09] <[coda]> Feuerklinge: and then, when the intel driver takes control, it stops working.. and for example, xrandr doesn't shows a tv/svideo output..
[21:10] <ezerhoden> !sound
[21:10] <Feuerklinge> coda then i have no idea
[21:10] <[coda]> Feuerklinge: lol
[21:10] <Feuerklinge> coda is it realy a screen problem?
[21:11] <[coda]> Feuerklinge: thanks anyway :D
[21:11] <[coda]> Feuerklinge: I think it's most a configuration problem..
[21:11] <nomasteryoda|w> [coda], yes that would be the issue ... i have ubuntu on a desktop and its fine with the svideo cable to tv
[21:12] <nomasteryoda|w> but i had to tweak the xorg.conf file to get it right
[21:13] <[coda]> nomasteryoda|w: yeah.. :( I know on 8.04 it works just out of the box, but it seems something changed from Hardy to Intrepid..
[21:13] <Skaag> is it possible to downgrade 8.10 server to 8.04 server?
[21:13] <Jack_Sparrow> no
[21:13] <BULLE> Skaag: no
[21:13] <Skaag> ack
[21:13] <Skaag> ok thanks
[21:14] <fearful> when I login I get an error saying something about my $HOME and that its the dmrc file that it needs 644 permissions, and I have already changed it any ideas?
[21:15] <mustangg> hi.   I'm looking for an alternate to the samba client in the repo.. when I try to apt-get smbfs or smbclient I get an "E: Brojken packages"
[21:15] <Jack_Sparrow> !aptfix
[21:15] <fearful> ?
[21:15] <Feuerklinge> i have openoffice calc and if i press "m3" it gives me "m³". does someone know how i can get "m3" to the screen?
[21:15] <mmmiiikkkeee> you can downgrade ubuntu; but it's very pain-full and breaks a lot of packages; it's not automatic at all; there is a wiki on how to do downgrades
[21:16] <Jack_Sparrow> !downgrade
[21:16] <prince_jammys> fearful: what's the output of: ls -l ~/.dmrc

[21:17] <mmmiiikkkeee> yes it not supported, but you can do it...
[21:17] <BULLE> mmmiiikkkeee: its easier to just reinstall the older version
[21:17] <prince_jammys> fearful: so what error message do you get now?
[21:17] <nomasteryoda|w> [coda], yes it did and I think its how they handle the xorg automagic crash-proof x but I don't know exactly how to fix it
[21:17] <prince_jammys> fearful: what's the output of: ls -l ~/.ICEauthority
[21:17] <[coda]> nomasteryoda|w: oh :(

[21:18] <fearful> I still get the same error, its annoying because no logging
[21:18] <mustangg> so that aptfix solution was for me?
[21:18] <prince_jammys> fearful: what's the output of: ls -ld ~

[21:19] <Samus_Aran> is there any way to use an older style .fnt file on Ubuntu, which seems to use only .psf fonts ?  I tried converting the font with some tools, but it wouldn't convert to .psf
[21:19] <prince_jammys> fearful: ok. all that looks fine
[21:19] <Feuerklinge> coda is it realy a screen problem?
[21:19] <Feuerklinge> i have openoffice calc and if i press "m3" it gives me "m³". does someone know how i can get "m3" to the screen?
[21:19] <fearful> Then why is it giving me the error at logon
[21:19] <Samus_Aran> Ubuntu uses 512 character fonts in text mode, causing it to lose bold colours, which I need
[21:20] <Slart> Feuerklinge: that sounds weird.. you're not talking about m^3?
[21:20] <Samus_Aran> fearful: I'm not in a Unicode terminal right now, so I don't know what you just pasted
[21:20] <Feuerklinge> no
[21:20] <poloipoi> hi, I downloaded ubuntu alternate cd for that I could install LTSP. I don't see cd's boot menu LTSP install option when I press F4... Can anyone help me? thanx
[21:20] <Feuerklinge> i say m3 is going to m³
[21:20] <Samus_Aran> fearful: if OO.o autoformats anything, just press Undo immediately after it converts it
[21:20] <nuubuntu> can someone who knows anything about the Acer 5515 wifi issue in ubuntu send me a PM?
[21:21] <Feuerklinge> same with m2
[21:21] <Samus_Aran> oops
[21:21] <Samus_Aran> Feuerklinge: that was meant for you
[21:21] <Samus_Aran> Feuerklinge: if OO.o autoformats anything, just press Undo immediately after it converts it
[21:21] <fearful> All the permissions seem to be correct, but when I login to ubuntu I get an error message somewhat the following; Permisions of $HOME and something with dmrc that they should be 644 and I should be owner, which is true
[21:21] <nuubuntu> can someone who knows anything about the Acer 5515 wifi issue in ubuntu send me a PM?
[21:21] <mmmiiikkkeee> BULLE: it can be, but i my case that was the harder thing to do.  i had stuff i compiled by hand; i had the list of all the packaged i had installed; i had all of my configuration files(not all were in my home dir!); i had a big mess; i had hand edited system config files.  some times its easier to do a downgrade.  i my case it WAS.
[21:21] <Feuerklinge> where can i find autoformats?
[21:22] <erUSUL> nuubuntu: describe the "Acer 5515 wifi issue" or you want get any help
[21:22] <erUSUL> !details | nuubuntu
[21:22] <erUSUL> nuubuntu: s/want/wont/
[21:22] <mustangg> So what alternate exists for the smb client? (that "Broken packages" thing..)

[21:25] <joco> KenBW2: Not that I know of, but I have not searched the forums on it, I was on Intrepid and reverted back to Hardy, tip: download and burn the ISO for Hardy now, also make backups, if all works well, then you have some christmas tree ornaments
[21:26] <Feuerklinge> was autocorrection

[21:28] <Cpudan80> access rights arent broken
[21:28] <prince_jammys> beejay77: so what's broken?
[21:28] <fearful> Any ideas why i still get the error
[21:28] <Cpudan80> beejay77: what problem are you experiencing
[21:28] <poloipoi> I found that link and it did say that I need to download alternate cd but it doesn't work... :(
[21:28] <erUSUL> Jack_Sparrow: seems like the ltsp factoid can get an edit...
[21:28] <joco> KenBW2: After the intrepid upgrade, I used the ISO's that I made on Hardy and just reinstalled, sorta.
[21:29] <KenBW2> joco: you effectively wiped Intrepid and installed Hardy?
[21:29] <beejay77> it looks like i have no rights to.mozilla folder
[21:29] <misieq> liviu_: consult with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine
[21:29] <Jack_Sparrow> erUSUL My link or the actual factoid
[21:29] <liviu_> apt-get update failes to fetch the addresses
[21:29] <erUSUL> Jack_Sparrow: well the factoid should include your link imho
[21:29] <noise> What folder would be recomendable to have as a program root directory?
[21:30] <jeff_01> Hi All ; if anyone can try to connect 77.198.139.134 and tell me if he sees the server. Thanks.
[21:30] <wkid> hello, how do i list all my devices mounted and unmounted(not lspci)?
[21:30] <noise> Installing Matlab and it asks for "MATLAB root directory location:"
[21:30] <prince_jammys> beejay77: what's the output of: ls -ld ~/.mozilla
[21:30] <joco> KenBW2: Yes, the Hardy reformatted over the Intrepid and it worked, I am now on Hardy 8.01.2
[21:30] <misieq> jeff_01: it pings
[21:30] <jeff_01> ah fine. I see from here tx
[21:30] <KenBW2> joco: i was trying to avoid a reinstall
[21:31] <DasEi> Server seems now Open !, jeff_01
[21:31] <beejay77> drwx------ 4 bartek bartek
[21:31] <joco> KenBW2: What are you on now?
[21:31] <Jack_Sparrow> erUSUL I made a note in -ops to check it
[21:31] <beejay77> inside everything looks the same
[21:31] <KenBW2> joco: hardy
[21:31] <jeff_01> fine DasEi
[21:31] <erUSUL> Jack_Sparrow: thanks
[21:31] <nickrud_> mustangg, missed your comment (I'm nickrud_ at the moment) what about the package you're trying to install?
[21:32] <wkid> hello, how do i list all my devices mounted and unmounted(not lspci)?
[21:32] <erUSUL> wkid: cat /proc/mounts
[21:32] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[21:32] <joco> KenBW: ok, it kinda remembers your login and settings, but that is where the backups come in as a fail safe.
[21:32] <wkid> erUSUL thnx
[21:32] <SmileDay> GWKKI
[21:33] <KenBW2> joco: i have /home on its own partition if that's what you mena
[21:33] <beejay77> there is another problem - i go System -> Administration -> Users and group and try to unblock
[21:33] <beejay77> i can not
[21:33] <mustangg> nickrud/ nickrud_ :) I think the problem with apt is actually secondary to what I'm trying to do.. S'ok. thank you.
[21:34] <amaurea> I can't seem to find liblua51 and liblualib51, but only the (relatively ancient) 50 versions (from 2003, it seems). will I have to download these manually? if so, how do I install them without making the package manager confused?
[21:34] <joco> KenBW2: No, I mean a Home backup, on CD-R or DVD-r, I like to play it with all options covered.
[21:34] <spooktino> has anyone set up Alfresco on Ubuntu?
[21:35] <erUSUL> !search liblua5.1 | amaurea
[21:35] <AutoMatriX> ni moi ;)
[21:35] <thefluffofitg> Hi, I have a mailserver, and I am trying to disable it to be a open relay, butspammers can stil send mails from xxxx@mydomain - can anyone help me? can give more info
[21:35] <erUSUL> amaurea: i find a lot of liblua5.1-* packages
[21:36] <amaurea> erUSUL: hum, are those results packages?
[21:36] <amaurea> so I should install "trash"?
[21:36] <nDuff> thefluffofitg, I've had good luck using ASSP as a filtering proxy in front of my mailserver
[21:36] <KenBW2> joco: just had a thought... the reason i'm wary about upgrading to Intrepid is because i installed it only to find it doesnt support my network card. Would it work to install Intrepid in a VM and troubleshoot it there, and then apply the fix(es) to a real install afterwards??
[21:36] <amaurea> !search liblua51
[21:36] <spooktino> or does anyone know when Alfresco will be available in the partner repository?
[21:36] <erUSUL> amaurea: no the results of the bot are trash ;P do "apt-cache search lua5.1" on your ubuntu box
[21:36] <nDuff> thefluffofitg, ...that said, are you sure these spammers are actually sending these messages *via* your server, or sending them from elsewhere and forging the from address?
[21:37] <nickrud_> KenBW2, no, the vm will be using a virtual network card, not your actual one
[21:37] <amaurea> erUSUL: oh, I find lua5.1, that's not the problem
[21:37] <KenBW2> nickrud: balls
[21:37] <amaurea> I just don't find liblua51 or liblualib51
[21:37] <misieq> amaurea: Filename: pool/universe/l/lua5.1/liblua5.1-0_5.1.3-1_i386.deb
[21:37] <FreakCERS> Hi all, I I helping a friend install kubuntu 8.10, and I've run into a few problems - most notably, I cannot get the machine to run the proper resolution
[21:37] <erUSUL> amaurea: liblua5.1-0 <<<
[21:37] <KenBW2> nickrud_: is there something i could do along those lines, short of installing Intrepid on a seperate partition (means restarting all the damn time)?
[21:37] <thefluffofitg> nDuff - yeah im sure they are sending from my server - i can see that in the logs
[21:37] <amaurea> misieq: that's odd. since I have lua5.1 installed
[21:38]  * amaurea goes to look again
[21:38] <nickrud_> KenBW2, none that I'm aware of ...
[21:38] <erUSUL> amaurea: a lot more just run the command i gave
[21:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !res
[21:38] <joco> KenBW2: That sounds very logical, and perhaps you could workaround the error, it must be solve able becuase it is an upgrade, or it could be broken for the same reasons.
[21:38] <nickrud_> !regression
[21:38] <amaurea> erUSUL: which command was that?
[21:38] <nDuff> thefluffofitg, setting up filtering on your server is probably beyond the scope of #ubuntu (you might try a channel specific to the mailserver you're using), but do also see http://assp.sourceforge.net/
[21:38] <FreakCERS> The machine in question is an IBM Thinkpad T40, with a radeon mobility 7500
[21:39] <erUSUL> amaurea: "apt-cache search lua5.1"
[21:39] <misieq> amaurea: apt-cache search <pkgname>
[21:39] <sharef> im wondering how i could get a remote vnc desktop embedded on one side of my compiz cube
[21:39] <amaurea> ok, I will try
[21:39] <KenBW2> joco: i installed Hardy with the intention of trying an upgrade to Intrepid
[21:39] <guntbert> thefluffofitg: please shut down you mail relay and then ask in the channel for that server, what program is it?
[21:39] <KenBW2> joco: but ive invested too much time into this install to bork it now
[21:40] <amaurea> erUSUL, misieq: ok, I am convinced
[21:40] <joco> KenBW: That is easy to do. there is even a GUI for that in Software Sources
[21:40] <KenBW2> joco: ?
[21:40] <thefluffofitg> guntbert: postfix
[21:40] <amaurea> erUSUL: the only lua.h I can find, though, is in /usr/include/lua50/lua.h
[21:41] <amaurea> I do have a /usr/include/lua5.1/, but that does not include lua.h
[21:41] <mustangg> To mount samba or windows shares, what is the correct smb util?
[21:41] <thefluffofitg> nDuff: yeah i am already on the way on installing that =)
[21:41] <misieq> amaurea: if you need that you need -dev package
[21:41] <joco> To upgrade to Intredpid,,,but I am in the same path as you, I put alot of time into getting Hardy to work like I wanted, and I still like it.
[21:41] <amaurea> misieq: so that would be lua5.1-dev?
[21:41] <Jack_Sparrow> joco then.. backup now
[21:41] <guntbert> thefluffofitg: then please ask in #postfix (about 200 people right now)
[21:42] <KenBW2> joco: i take it you mean Update Manager?
[21:42] <misieq> amaurea: apt-cache search liblua | grep -dev
[21:42] <joco> KenBW2: Yes
[21:43] <guntbert> thefluffofitg: but I'm sure, that topic is extensively covered in the docu too, look for "open relay" or so
[21:43] <joco> Jack_Sparrow: I still need a ride to a store to buy CDrs,,,no buses are running here
[21:43] <misieq> amaurea: actualy grep thinks it's an option, so it should be more like grep \\\-dev
[21:44] <KenBW2> joco: taxi :D
[21:44] <joco> hhehe...I cannot afford those!
[21:44] <mustangg> !smbfs /me
[21:44] <amaurea> misieq: I just removed the -, but it is nice to know that the - can be included like that
[21:44] <ortsvorsteher> mustangg: try /msg ubottu !smbfs
[21:44] <mustangg> thanks.
[21:45] <joco> awe heck,,let me walk there, back in about 2 hours.
[21:45] <ortsvorsteher> :)
[21:45] <misieq> amaurea: in the same way you can include other "meanigful" characters in searches, but to me number of backslashes is usually a guess...
[21:45] <mustangg> d'oh.. shouldn't the channel bot know what smbfs is?
[21:46] <ortsvorsteher> !samba
[21:47] <nuubuntu> I'm having some issues after installing ubuntu 8.10 on an acer laptop. I've done alot of reading and have figured some of the problems out, but I'm at loss at this point. Can anyone give me some ideas?

[21:48] <jeff__1981> Hi all. Could someone please try to connect at jfsimon1981.dyndns.org and tell me if this works ?
[21:48] <MacGyverNL> I have a problem with Synaptic. I entered a proxy during Ubuntu 8.10 installation, because I was behind one at that time. Currently, though, I'm on a direct internet connection. Even though I set that and applied system-wide in Preferences -> Network Proxy (Gnome), Synaptic still attempt to connect through the proxy when downloading the packages. In synaptic itself, though, "Direct connection" is also checked.
[21:48] <MacGyverNL> Any thoughts?
[21:48] <misieq> jeff__1981: it pings and serves
[21:48] <DasEi> Server seems now Open !﻿ jeff__1981

[21:49] <jeff__1981> all right it goes. Thanks all.

[21:53] <amaurea> I have another question: I am trying to compile a 32-bit program. I have gotten most of the things to work now, but ld can't find a 32-bit compatible libXext. where can I find this?
[21:53] <MacGyverNL> Which I never was able to come up with in the past, so if anyone could help out there...
[21:53] <SmileDay> oh my stress. help me. hahaha
[21:53] <nuubuntu> No build essentials after ubuntu 8.10 install. can't read from disk to install essentials. Ubuntu won't mount e drive. Help.

[21:55] <Dillizar> kyledr,  nope dude just some agp stuff
[21:55] <MacGyverNL> Hmm. A recursive grep of /etc turns up entries for the proxy in /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.system/%gconf-tree.xml"
[21:55] <MacGyverNL> If I manually edit that, will those changes stick?

[22:00] <stroyan> MacGyverNL: That may not be the proxy that you are looking for.  Does  "env | grep -i proxy" show any environment variable specifying a proxy?

[22:06] <sav1o1> Slart: because I need to build a module to that kernel.
[22:06] <Slart> sav1o1: it's not available from the hardy repos?
[22:07] <La_Crem> ok, with 'tail /var/log/messages it seems works, but when I connect it, it shows: 'Add. Sense: No additional sense information...

[22:09] <werwolf> I don't know how to configure xorg.conf
[22:09] <mheath> psion: you need to run nvidia-settings as root, and click on the "save configuration" button below the dual monitor configuration area.
[22:09] <beamsjr> drive gets mounted in /dev/disc
[22:09] <ortsvorsteher> !somebody | werwolf

[22:09] <La_Crem> DasEi , it doesn't detect with fdisk
[22:09] <psion> mheath: thanks
[22:09] <mheath> psion: run it from a console as "sudo nvidia-settings"
[22:10] <Slart> mheath,psion: if it's a gui program run it using gksudo instead
[22:10] <psion> yep, gotcha, I just assumed it was being ran as root, I vaguely remember it asking me to put in my pass the first time but I guess I was mistaken
[22:10] <La_Crem> If I add the mount line to fstab could works?
[22:10] <DasEi> La_Crem: you plug it in (2,5"" or 3,5"" ?), then what happens (not ?)
[22:10] <Slart> !gksudo | psion, mheath

[22:11] <Slart> !anoyone | Kabron32
[22:11] <mheath> psion: Yeah, he's right. Most situations they'll work identically, but in some situations there are settings needed for GUI stuff to work correctly that aren't 'copied over' to the root session correctly qwhen you just run gksudo.
[22:11] <Slart> !anyone | Kabron32
[22:12] <Deviltry> how could i redirect the output of a program written in ruby to a file? usual "program.rb > output.file" doesn't work
[22:12] <mheath> psion: strictly speaking, in this case, with nvidia-settings, it makes no difference, but gksudo is best practice.
[22:12] <iHome> ubottu: ok thanks.
[22:12] <Deviltry> ubottu ruby
[22:12] <Slart> Deviltry: oh, come on.. we didn't know 2 minutes ago, do you think we've gotten smarter since then? wait at least 15-20 minutes before repeating

[22:12] <psion> mheath: does it just copy over environmental parameters?

[22:13] <mheath> psion: I'm not sure of the details of what it does, but I'd imagine that would be it.
[22:13] <La_Crem> My usb hard disk is not detected by Ubuntu 8.10. fdisk doesn't detect... somebody help me please :S ?
[22:13] <psion> mheath: gotcha, thanks
[22:13] <psion> brb, restarting x
[22:13] <gordonjcp> La_Crem: what does dmesg say?
[22:13] <pZombie> so i got this ati radeon mobility to work properly with all acceleration features, by just clicking to allow proprietary drivers in 8.04. Yet the only problem was that gdm would crash the whole system on logout.
[22:14] <pZombie> i uninstall the drivers and try to reinstall them, and it just wont recognize them anymore
[22:14] <MacGyverNL> Seems I have the exact same problem as La_Crem, or at least very similar. I connect my external USB disk, tail -f /var/log/messages indicates it's attached as sdb, then the next message says Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0. There's an entry for /dev/sdb, but not for sdb1. It also doesn't show up in GParted.

[22:14] <sharef> question: i have the weather applet on my gnome panel, how can i pull specific data off it from a shell script??
[22:14] <viktorkAZ> hey hi
[22:14] <misieq> Deviltry: perhaps it's using stderr instead of stdout? try program.rb 2> file then
[22:14] <viktorkAZ> one quick question..
[22:14] <werwolf> :(
[22:14] <gordonjcp> La_Crem: can you unplug then reconnect the USB drive, and then pastebin the last few lines?
[22:15] <viktorkAZ> what is the default font of ubuntu?
[22:15] <Deviltry> misieq tried that as well
[22:15] <viktorkAZ> i mean with gnome
[22:15] <viktorkAZ> default font
[22:15] <Slart> sharef: it gets the data from ... wheather.com I think.. I guess it would be easier to do that yourself too
[22:15] <Deviltry> i don't know where it is outputing
[22:15] <pZombie> getting this ubuntu is running in low graphics mode.. allowing me to check the right gfx card. I check my card, it still doesnt work. how can it be so hard to install a gfx card?
[22:15] <DasEi> ﻿MacGyverNL: occurs in mount ?
[22:15] <Deviltry> only to the screen
[22:15] <misieq> Deviltry: | tee ?
[22:15] <Peddyt> where should .so files usually be?
[22:15] <pZombie> and if they add such automatic guis for installing a gfx card, why the hell dont they work?
[22:15] <Kabron32> ARP linktype is set to 1 (Ethernet) - expected ARPHRD_IEEE80211,
[22:15] <sharef> well that was alotta help ><
[22:15] <Kabron32> plz ?
[22:15] <MacGyverNL> DasEi: I don't give any mount commands yet.
[22:16] <Deviltry> misieq ? tee ?
[22:16] <Slart> Peddyt: they can be almost anywhere... there's no special place for them
[22:16] <DasEi> ﻿Peddyt: /usr an sub's
[22:16] <MacGyverNL> Just attach, which should result in listings in /dev. Or am I completely wrong there?
[22:16] <misieq> Deviltry: program.rb | tee file
[22:16] <MacGyverNL> Besides, I need to repartition it, so mounting isn't an option. GParted doesn't pick it up at all.
[22:16] <pZombie> ubuntu got worse over the years
[22:16] <Optimus55> hey i read on download squad that hp released its customized ubuntu linux for the mini 1000 netbook. Any idea where i might be able to download it???
[22:16] <DasEi> ﻿MacGyverNL: youst type mount without parameters to see your mounted drives
[22:16] <pZombie> things that worked in 6.xx now are a pita
[22:16] <Deviltry> misieq thanks i will try now
[22:16] <MacGyverNL> Ah.
[22:16] <Peddyt> Slart, and DasEi, a program said 'error opening shared library... could not find...', but I moved the .so to /usr/lib, now it works. Thanks :)
[22:17] <Slart> Peddyt: ah.. good
[22:17] <misieq> Deviltry: be warned that you may lose input then
[22:17] <MacGyverNL> /dev/sda1, /proc, sysfs, varrun, varlock, udev, tmpfs, devpts, fusectl, lrm, securityfs, binfmt_misc and gvfs-fuse-daemon.
[22:17] <DasEi> nice,Peddyt
[22:17] <Optimus55> Does anyone have a clue where i can get Hp's customized version of ubuntu??

[22:17] <Deviltry> input? i am interested about the output
[22:17] <pZombie> anyone know a good linux distro which has no trouble with mobile laptops and recognizes the gfx cards properly?
[22:17] <Slart> Optimus55: I wild guess.. from HP ?
[22:18] <Deviltry> !anyone | Optimus55
[22:18] <viktorkAZ> anyone?
[22:18] <gordonjcp> La_Crem: okay, looks like it's detected as sdb
[22:18] <viktorkAZ> can someone tell me the default font of ubuntu?
[22:18] <gordonjcp> La_Crem: what does "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb" say?
[22:18] <Optimus55> Deviltry: hey i read on download squad that hp released its customized ubuntu linux for the mini 1000 netbook. Any idea where i might be able to download it???
[22:18] <MacGyverNL> DasEi: I can pastebin the /var/log/messages output if it might be of any help.
[22:18] <Slart> pZombie: I think ubuntu actually is one of the friendlier ones.. but try some others.. check distrowatch to see what other people are using
[22:18] <Stonebrew> viktorkAZ: Bitstream Vera I think
[22:18] <Deviltry> misieq may I priv you ?
[22:18] <Optimus55> posted that a few lines up
[22:18] <DasEi> MacGyverNL: check !who, ... so it's not mounted and gparted also doesn't find it (see choice in it's upper right corner)
[22:19] <pZombie> slart it was... now it is just a complete mess
[22:19] <misieq> Deviltry: just a sec, i have to identify for that
[22:19] <viktorkAZ> thanks
[22:19] <La_Crem> gordonjcp it says nothing
[22:19] <gordonjcp> La_Crem: just returns silently?
[22:19] <gordonjcp> La_Crem: nothing at all?
[22:19] <La_Crem> yes
[22:19] <misieq> Deviltry: brb
[22:19] <Jabi_BasqueCount> hei people ! I do it and my sound now plays quite high !!! many thanks to all !
[22:19] <La_Crem> gordonjcp nop
[22:19] <MacGyverNL> DasEi: That's right, on both accounts.
[22:20] <psion> I gksudo'd nvidia-settings and hit save to x config file, but it's still not doing anything
[22:20] <MacGyverNL> DasEi: In fact, fdisk plainly refuses to open it.
[22:20] <DasEi> MacGyverNL: sudo apt-get install pastebinit usbutils
[22:20] <gordonjcp> La_Crem: okay, what does "sudo fdisk /dev/sdz" say?
[22:20] <gordonjcp> La_Crem: sorry, "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdz"
[22:20] <misieq> Deviltry, go on
[22:21] <Ubuntuna> is there a way that i can increase the audio coming from adobe flash?
[22:21] <La_Crem> gordonjcp Unable to open /dev/sdz
[22:21] <poet> is there away to associate the skype: prefix with the skype program?
[22:21] <MacGyverNL> DasEi: "usbutils is already the latest version"
[22:21] <psion> when I open nvidia-settings it still shows the second monitor as disabled.  it recognises the monitor fine, the app just doesn't seem to save anything I do
[22:21] <gordonjcp> La_Crem: okay
[22:21] <gordonjcp> La_Crem: so it sees that there's some sort of drive there
[22:21] <MacGyverNL> DasEi: What info do you want pastebinned?
[22:21] <DasEi> MacGyverNL: sudo fdsik -l > fdi.txt && pastebinit fdi.txt && rm fdi.txt                 (one long cmd, give url from it here)
[22:21] <gordonjcp> La_Crem: does the drive require an external power lead?
[22:22] <Alaa> ---
[22:22] <oris> sono in possesso di acer aspire 6935 ho installato ubunt ibex ma non riesco a sentire l' audio
[22:22] <La_Crem> gordonjcp yes, and it works fine with windows. It's a NTFS volume
[22:23] <MacGyverNL> DasEi: http://pastebin.com/f7a550817
[22:23] <MacGyverNL> Also, why not just | pastebinit?
[22:23] <gordonjcp> La_Crem: don't know then, it looks like it's not being detected properly
[22:23] <gordonjcp> La_Crem: is the power lead connected properly?
[22:24] <DasEi> MacGyverNL: seems not be recognized (I assume it's plugged in) | sometimes doesn't work
[22:25] <DasEi> MacGyverNL: sudo apt-get install hwinfo
[22:25] <DasEi> MacGyverNL: sudo hwinfo > pastebinit
[22:26] <La_Crem> gordonjcp yes, but when I connect it, it doesn't read anything, the led doesn't ¿wink?
[22:27] <gordonjcp> La_Crem: there's something odd there, usually USB drives are entirely hassle-free
[22:29] <La_Crem> gordonjcp what means hassle-free, my english is too bad for this jeje
[22:29] <freesoft> Holaa a Todos :D

[22:31] <avis> thanks
[22:32] <Eviltechie> Does anyone know when the new nvidia drivers will be added to the restricted drivers program?
[22:32] <ryan__> is there a way to increase the audio output from Adobe Flash?
[22:32] <DasEi> MacGyverNL: stiil one : pastebinit /var/log/syslog
[22:32] <MacGyverNL> Entirely?
[22:32] <SxNDave> Is there anyone around who is versed in editing the grub menu list?
[22:32] <La_Crem> DasEi thanks!
[22:32] <Jack_Sparrow> SxNDave Sure, how may I help
[22:33] <Jack_Sparrow> SxNDave gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst                       LST at the end there
[22:34] <MacGyverNL> DasEi: http://pastebin.com/f507e1251
[22:34] <Eviltechie> Does anyone know when the new nvidia drivers will be added to the restricted drivers program?
[22:34] <psion> logging out and logging back in restarts x right? I have never really used gdm before ubuntu
[22:34] <La_Crem> DasEi it means the same of plug and "play" or use it??
[22:34] <SxNDave> hi Jack. I have an install of Ubuntu and have just installed Kubuntu on another drive but need to add it to the existing grub. I have the menu list from both drives open. Is it ok to just copy directly the 2 entries from one to the other, changing the title to reflect which kernal belongs to which
[22:35] <Jack_Sparrow> SxNDave sudo apt-get install pastebinit  && pastebinit /boot/grub/menu.lst       (Provide Pastebin link in channel)
[22:36] <Jack_Sparrow> SxNDave Once I see the pastebin and your proposed edit.. I will know for sure.  But I think you will be fine
[22:36] <DasEi> ﻿ La_Crem: easy use mens no specific configuration needed, so no hassle
[22:36] <DasEi> means*
[22:36] <SxNDave> Jack_Sparrow: Ill up them now.
[22:37] <Jack_Sparrow> SxNDave If you installed kubuntu last then your mbr is pointing to grub on that partition.. which would be kubuntu coerrect
[22:37] <jose__> j #xbox360_scene
[22:37] <jose__> sorry
[22:38] <SxNDave> Jack_Sparrow: thats what I expected but its the other way around. I suspect its as a result of my mobos priorities. the original installation is on the 1st IDE channel with the Kubuntu on the second Sata channel.
[22:38] <Jack_Sparrow> SxNDave If you created a sep /boot partition you would not have quite the issues if you intend to run multiple nix etc
[22:38] <Jack_Sparrow> SxNDave Ok so this may be a bit more to untangle yet
[22:39] <rodolfo_> guys, I'm using Pidgin and I want to RECEIVE a file. Once I accept it, a folderitem window will pop-up but it hangs when choosing a directory/folder. Is this a GNOME issue? if it is, what's going on? dependency missing?
[22:39] <ryanprior> I just noticed that a PowerPC build of Ubuntu is still available for the newest versions through the site. I thought I heard that Ubuntu cut PPC support awhile back -- what gives?
[22:40] <Daemon_> how can i change the theme on ubuntu?
[22:40] <Vonor> hi, is there a known issue with the live cds? i have the amd64 livecd and i kernel-panics all the time
[22:40] <Jack_Sparrow> SxNDave Are you in one of the installed butu's now or on livecd
[22:40] <SxNDave> Jack_Sparrow i only just installed and partitoned the new drive addition so im quite happy to start all over again. Ive had the ubuntu install for a few days and am happy to do a full switch. with that in mind what would you suggest as the best course of action to start on a freesh system and allow for multiple nix systems and the addition of others in the future?
[22:41] <Jack_Sparrow> SxNDave Please /join #Jack_Sparrow so we can talk partitioning
[22:41] <ryanprior> Daemon_: System -> Preferences -> Appearance
[22:41] <SxNDave> cheers
[22:41] <xenocampanoli>  I have a system 76 64bit laptop, and add ons says I have a shockwave flash plugin configured, but I need to use the nonfree adobe one.  What do I do?  I have the adobe one installed on the box, but it's not seeing it on my firefox...??
[22:41] <Jabi_BasqueCount> ubuntu in spanish ?
[22:41] <Jack_Sparrow> !es
[22:42] <ryanprior> Daemon_: If you've downloaded a theme file and want to use it, drag+drop it onto the theme browser there and it'll be added automatically.
[22:42] <rodolfo_> Jack_Sparrow hi
[22:42] <psion> logging out and logging back in restarts x right? I have never really used gdm before ubuntu
[22:42] <DasEi> MacGyverNL: nothing to find; there seem to be a lot of usb devices on that machine, more specs ? also, does the hd wind up (turns) while it's connected ?
[22:42] <Daemon_> ty
[22:42] <wasutton3> i have windows xp and osx 86 installed on two seperate hard drives, is there a way for me to use the install cd to install grub on  the osx86 drive?
[22:42] <ryanprior> psion: Incorrect. Ctrl+alt+backspace restarts X.
[22:42] <xenocampanoli>  I have a system 76 64bit laptop, and add ons says I have a shockwave flash plugin configured, but I need to use the nonfree adobe one.  What do I do?  I have the adobe one installed on the box, but it's not seeing it on my firefox...??
[22:42] <psion> ah, thanks
[22:43] <rodolfo_> Jack_Sparrow tell me what IM program do you use?
[22:43] <ryanprior> psion: Or, `invoke-rc.d gdm restart` restarts x.
[22:43] <psion> ryanprior: thanks!
[22:43] <Jack_Sparrow> rodolfo_ none actually
[22:43] <viktorkAZ> hello, i need help and here is the thing.. i install xfce before and thast what im using.. but for some weird reason i decide to uninstall gnome.. and now im trying to install gnome again and im getting this error: Could not mark all packages for installation or upgrade. The following packages have unresolved dependencies.
[22:43] <Jack_Sparrow> rodolfo_ I did have pidgin, but use it seldom
[22:43] <MacGyverNL> DasEi: Yeah, it does. And it's a laptop, so that might explain the abundance of USB a bit. Also, this is becoming weird. An hour ago I hooked up this disk to my windows box, the partition on it was detected fine, but now it's not.
[22:43] <viktorkAZ> Depends: gnome-desktop-environment but is not going to be installed
[22:44] <rodolfo_> Jack_Sparrow what if you are uploading a file using GMail and the filechooser hangs...what can t be?
[22:44] <rodolfo_> it*
[22:44] <MikyMouse> Hi, is there any fix for the probelme with Compiz??? After certain time working with the ssystem, whenever I start scrolling in Firefox, or Buelfish or whatever that has text, the lines srtat to dissapear or to mees up..????Any idea??
[22:44] <ryanprior> wasutton3: There is a way to do it, but there isn't a convenient graphical utility or anything.
[22:45] <Jabi_BasqueCount> hei one question, anybody know if is posible to see my contacts webcam using pidgin for my messenger count ?
[22:45] <DasEi> MacGyverNL: have you got a live cd handy to boot the lappi from it and then try again getting the usb ?
[22:45] <ryanprior> wasutton3: You basically need to read the Grub documentation and figure out where to put all the files.
[22:45] <spill> I need to change the default program that opens when I insert a blank CD anyone know how.
[22:45] <MikyMouse> An in KDE I dont have problems, in XFCE either, just in GNOME and with compiz, also I have an NVDIA card with the latest drivers
[22:45] <Jack_Sparrow> rodolfo_ I use thunderbird and gmail imap not pop, and I have never had an issue, except when something trigger4ed security and I had to use firefox to manually login and enter a graphic string
[22:45] <MacGyverNL> DasEi: Only a Xubuntu LiveCD I burned yesterday, my Ubuntu CD is at work.
[22:45] <Jabi_BasqueCount> is it posible seen my contacts webcam using pidgin for my msn accounts ?
[22:45] <MikyMouse> Any help or idea will be really appreciated gus
[22:45] <wasutton3> ryanprior, would it be easier to put a temporary ubuntu partition on there?
[22:45] <MacGyverNL> DasEi: But there's no real difference, right
[22:45] <Slart> Jabi_BasqueCount: I don't think so..
[22:45] <DasEi> MacGyverNL: same, if its desktop version
[22:45] <jrib> spill: edit -> preferences -> media
[22:46] <Slart> Jabi_BasqueCount: afaik pidgin doesn't support video
[22:46] <spill> jrib: thanks, I'll give it a shot.
[22:46] <Jabi_BasqueCount> thanks slart
[22:47] <rodolfo_> Jack_Sparrow that doesn't help...but thank you anyway
[22:47] <ngauthier> hey anyone ever seen passwd just say "password updated successfully" and just quit without asking for a current/new password?
[22:47] <Slart> Jabi_BasqueCount: perhaps amsn does webcams.. not sure.. the new skype client does video if you really want it
[22:48] <MacGyverNL> DasEi: Booting now.
[22:48] <ryanprior> wasutton3: I'm not sure what you mean by a temporary partition. Once a partition is on there, it's somewhat permanent, unless you're going to delete it and grow another partition alter.
[22:48] <Slart> ngauthier: perhaps if you run it as root
[22:48] <ngauthier> Slart, yeah, but it never asks for a new password!
[22:48] <Harigh> does anyone know of a good, easy to install, modem dialer for gnome?
[22:48] <ngauthier> it's just: passwd \ password updated successfully
[22:49] <viktorkAZ> hello
[22:49] <Slart> ngauthier: to be honest I haven't changed my password from the terminal in a long time..
[22:49] <viktorkAZ> can someone help me please with that
[22:49] <viktorkAZ> thanks
[22:49] <viktorkAZ> gnome:
[22:49] <viktorkAZ>  Depends: gnome-desktop-environment but it is not going to be installed
[22:49] <sebsebseb> viktorkAZ: I just joined, so help you with what?
[22:49] <viktorkAZ> this is what appears
[22:49] <viktorkAZ> when i try to install gnome again
[22:49] <sebsebseb> viktorkAZ: ah ok broken dependances
[22:49] <ngauthier> Slart, I've been doing this a lot recently, and it's only on this one computer that it doesn't ask me for a new pw
[22:49] <MacGyverNL> DasEi: But it's weird. I hooked this disk up to my windows box an hour ago, everything was fine, but now Windows can't find any partitions on it anymore than Ubuntu can. It says I need to Initialize Disk, but when I try that, it returns a device not ready error.
[22:50] <sebsebseb> viktorkAZ: your trying to install ubuntu-desktop?
[22:50] <MacGyverNL> DasEi: So the problem might not be Ubuntu after all...
[22:50] <viktorkAZ> because for some weird reason i uninstall gnome when i install xfce and now
[22:50] <viktorkAZ> i want gnome back
[22:50] <spill> jrib: the only option I can find allows me to change the audio program to play files for default but the not default burning when inserting a blank disk.
[22:50] <viktorkAZ> gnome
[22:50] <viktorkAZ> i want gnome GUI again
[22:50] <sebsebseb> viktorkAZ: yes  ubuntu-desktop uses Gnome and that's the programs and things
[22:50] <viktorkAZ> ok
[22:50] <Slart> ngauthier: no idea.. don't know if passwd has settings in some secret file that could have changed... checked the man page?
[22:50] <sebsebseb> viktorkAZ: open a terminal and:  sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[22:50] <viktorkAZ> well but ubuntu comes with kde as well so im not sure if its all ubuntu desktop the one i need
[22:50] <viktorkAZ> i just remember that i uninstall gnome
[22:50] <viktorkAZ> and thats it
[22:51] <viktorkAZ> ok
[22:51] <sebsebseb> viktorkAZ: that can help with dependances and broken packages as well
[22:51] <misieq> is somebodu running ubuntu server?
[22:51] <jrib> spill: what ubuntu version?
[22:51] <Slart> misieq: I think there is a channel for ubuntu server.. #ubuntu-server perhaps
[22:51] <misieq> !server
[22:51] <viktorkAZ> ok i did
[22:51] <viktorkAZ> now what
[22:51] <viktorkAZ> i try to install it again?
[22:52] <DasEi> MacGyverNL: both, xp an ubu set a mark if disk is unmounted unclean, but mostly xp will accfept it still or you can use -force, but the strange thing is it doesn't show up at all, so either you got a (st..) cable problem or a real hw-fail;;; does it spin  ? (noise ?!)
[22:52] <viktorkAZ> where its unable
[22:52] <ryanprior> !enter | viktorkAZ
[22:52] <viktorkAZ> E: Unable to lock the adminstrator directory
[22:52] <viktorkAZ> ok

[22:52] <MacGyverNL> DasEi: Yeah, it spins.
[22:52] <xenocampanoli>  I have a system 76 64bit laptop, and add ons says I have a shockwave flash plugin configured, but I need to use the nonfree adobe one.  What do I do?  I have the adobe one installed on the box, but it's not seeing it on my firefox...??
[22:52] <sebsebseb> viktorkAZ: ok you probably got the synaptic package manager open or the updater.  that would be why
[22:53] <ryanprior> xenocampanoli: The shockwave flash plugin and the nonfree adobe one are one and the same. Shockwave is owned by adobe now.
[22:53] <DasEi> MacGyverNL: any lights on dis/-connect ? (LED-..) ?
[22:53] <viktorkAZ> ok is working now
[22:53] <viktorkAZ> thanks a lot
[22:53] <xenocampanoli> Ok.  Sorry....
[22:53] <erle-> does the kernel leak memory?

[22:53] <MacGyverNL> DasEi: Power and Data-LEDs are on.
[22:53] <erle-> Slart, i have big memory usage sind last kernel update
[22:54] <DasEi> MacGyverNL: any change when re-plugging it ?

[22:54] <erle-> i can kill x and every high level application and it is still high
[22:54] <ldlework> I have a pair of Logitech 350 USB headphones. I have figured out how to set it as the default device so upon boot up sound is routed to them. But if I unplug them (to go home from work) when I plug them back in the sound does not work anymore. Anyone have a clue?
[22:54] <Slart> erle-: does it increase over time? how do you measure usage?
[22:54] <erle-> high means more then 1 gigabyte
[22:54] <MacGyverNL> DasEi: Nope, Xubuntu-Live does the exact same thing as Ubuntu.
[22:54] <DasEi> MacGyverNL:(just the data-cable)^
[22:54] <yoyoned> erle-: use the sustem monitor to see what si using all the memory
[22:54] <erle-> Slart, different monitors
[22:54] <xenocampanoli> ryanprior:  How can I make sure the version being used in my FF is the one I have installed?  I see no version numbers on my FF...?
[22:54] <erle-> "free" command, gnome monitor, htop
[22:55] <yoyoned> xenocampanoli: help-> about
[22:55] <erle-> yoyoned, no process is using much mem
[22:55] <viktorkAZ> sebsebseb: 22 and spain and im interest in linux.. because i start my networking classes. and linux is very important.. im using vmware fusion on a macbook
[22:55] <xenocampanoli> ryanprior:  Oh wait, I do see the versions.  They differ.
[22:55] <Slart> erle-: you're not talking about cache and buffers, right?
[22:55] <erle-> yoyoned, i can kill X completely, the memory usage stays high
[22:55] <sebsebseb> viktorkAZ: ok I thought you were younger
[22:55] <erle-> Slart, no, i am talking about really used mem
[22:55] <xenocampanoli> I have 9.0.152 showing from synaptic, but 9 100 on FF.
[22:55] <yoyoned> erle-: open a terminal, type free, and pastebin the output
[22:55] <xenocampanoli> What gives with that?
[22:56] <ldlework> I have a pair of Logitech 350 USB headphones. I have figured out how to set it as the default device so upon boot up sound is routed to them. But if I unplug them (to go home from work) when I plug them back in the sound does not work anymore. Anyone have a clue?
[22:56] <DasEi> MacGyverNL:last hope would be a check in bios (maybe the other win-box), to check hd-health
[22:56] <xenocampanoli> There must be a way to upload the correct version, which is the one synaptic shows as installed.
[22:56] <viktorkAZ> sebsebseb: why?
[22:56] <PsynoKhi0> hi, I intended to install unetbootin from the ppa, but synpatics kept complaining about unauthorized stuff.. wanted to check I had pasted the right openpgp key and I right-clicked on the file :/ any way I can get rid of the key?
[22:56] <jrib> spill: look closer
[22:57] <ngauthier> xenocampanoli, "mlocate flashplayer.so" see if one is installed in your home dir
[22:57] <PsynoKhi0> synaptics*
[22:57] <lakin> Ok, so a friend of mine bought one of these - http://www.devwrite.com/archives/kingstronic-windows-ce-and-linux-epc-netbooks - and now we're trying to get Ubuntu onto it.  Problem is I have no idea if any of the stock ubuntu installers will work on the "400MHz XBurst processor" ...
[22:57] <Slart> erle-: I'm not saying the kernel absolutley cannot leak memory.. it's just very unlikely that you would be the first one to notice.. we're a fair bit down the line in ubuntu
[22:57] <DasEi> MacGyverNL:((I think you'd now about changed options in there, by the way))
[22:57] <xenocampanoli> Ok.
[22:57] <PsynoKhi0> lakin: I htink that's a risc processor, not i386
[22:57] <jrib> spill: I mean edit -> preferences -> media in the nautilus menu
[22:57] <MacGyverNL> DasEi: Right, the bucketloads of weirdness keep coming. I reattached the P-ATA connector to the drive (this external "drive" is a Conceptronic CSATAI23U cable, http://i00.twenga.com/p/98/92/199892vb.png should give you an idea.) while it was powered down. I then powered it up again, with the USB cable *unhooked*, then hooked up the USB cable.
[22:57] <ngauthier> xenocampanoli, you may want to run "sudo updatedb" to update your search database first
[22:57] <xenocampanoli> Nope.  Only /usr/lib and /varlib shown.
[22:57] <MacGyverNL> Now it's found by Xubuntu.
[22:57] <viktorkAZ> sebsebseb: so what does aptitude means?
[22:57] <xenocampanoli> Ok
[22:58] <erle-> Slart, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1d7baa4e
[22:58] <sebsebseb> !apt
[22:58] <yoyoned> PsynoKhi0: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fanswers.launchpad.net%2Fdo%2F%2Bquestion%2F28492&ei=bx2KSZ2DDpiq-gb2z4XVBw&usg=AFQjCNHecYkefKAftSN4GKLjpfZqT50iZQ&sig2=ctn38N18jIXa7nm4iMFpaw
[22:58] <Slart> yoyoned: see above
[22:58] <lakin> PsynoKhi0: it came with a really awful version of linux on it - so I know linux runs on it.  Are there any version of Ubuntu that run on RISC? or shall I look for another distro?
[22:58] <xenocampanoli> Still, it shows only /usr/lib and /var/lib
[22:58] <sebsebseb> viktorkAZ: aptitude deals better with broken packages and dependances than apt-get
[22:58] <viktorkAZ> sebsebseb: this is going to fix it and install it as well? after this i will be able to log using gnome?
[22:58] <ngauthier> xenocampanoli, you can also try removing all the versions you can find in apt, then search for the plugin again and assert that they are all gone, then install one from apt
[22:58] <MacGyverNL> DasEi: So it appears that there's an issue with how good it's connected, or in what order I power up the components.
[22:58] <viktorkAZ> i see
[22:58] <sebsebseb> viktorkAZ: and syanpatic and add or remove programs are just a GUI for apt
[22:58] <DasEi> MacGyverNL:that should be the right way
[22:58] <erle-> Slart, i recently killed X, now there is just plain gnome running and xchat
[22:58] <viktorkAZ> ok
[22:59] <erle-> usually it needs less than 300 mem
[22:59] <xenocampanoli> ngauthier:  That sounds dangerous.  I have lots of stuff installed.
[22:59] <Slart> erle-: ahem.. you're running gnome without X?
[22:59] <ngauthier> erle-, run "top" then hit F, then hit n
[22:59] <erle-> no
[22:59] <erle-> i killed x and restarted it
[22:59] <Slart> erle-: ah.. ok =)
[22:59] <ngauthier> xenocampanoli, I mean just uninstall the flash plugins
[22:59] <erle-> but while x is down it is pretty the same
[22:59] <xenocampanoli> How about if I uninstall FF and reinstall it...?
[22:59] <erle-> 800 mem or something in use
[22:59] <xenocampanoli> Ok, so apt-cache search flashplugin?
[22:59] <DasEi> MacGyverNL: also with usb enabled in bios, you should be able to boot with all wires hooked on; is the drive 2.5 or 3.5 ?
[23:00] <sebsebseb> viktorkAZ: yep run the command I gave and you should be able to get in Ubuntu  based Gnome
[23:00] <MacGyverNL> DasEi: 3.5
[23:00] <ortsvorsteher> xenocampanoli: sudo apt-cache search flash
[23:00] <Slart> erle-: well.. it looks kind of normal to me.. but I've got 4GB memory (2GB used)..
[23:00] <sebsebseb> viktorkAZ: Ubuntu does not use real Gnome it is based on it, for example Firefox is the default browser instead of Epiphany
[23:00] <AbuYaseen> Hello, does anyone know a free touch typing software that runs on ubuntu and uk qwerty keyboard layout
[23:00] <DasEi> MacGyverNL: so external power needed, too (not just data-connector)
[23:00] <Slart> erle-: afaik gnome is a hog when it comes to memory
[23:00] <rodolfo_> OK I've installed Firefox 3.0.6 manually on my buntu 8.10 and now I want to make it "see" my flash and java plugin. SOMEBODY please tell me how to do that!!!
[23:00] <jrib> AbuYaseen: gtypist?
[23:00] <erle-> Slart, it wasn like this a week before
[23:00] <MacGyverNL> DasEi: Yes, it is, but that's on otherwise it wouldn't spin up.
[23:00] <jrib> rodolfo_: why did you install it manually? :/
[23:00] <Slart> AbuYaseen: search in synaptic for touch typing or something.. there are a couple
[23:00] <DasEi> MacGyverNL: external power must be own before data connection
[23:00] <erle-> it showed up with the last kernel update
[23:00] <AbuYaseen> jrib: will try
[23:01] <dean> How do I swap capslock and control by editing xorg.conf
[23:01] <xenocampanoli> Is there one that just shows what I have installed?  I forgot.
[23:01] <erle-> Slart, when i run applications, it is normal too
[23:01] <dean> there is no InputDevice section
[23:01] <jrib> dean: I use xmodmap
[23:01] <viktorkAZ> sebsebseb: ok.. by the way.. i uninstall the.. how you call it?? the main desktop where you type your name and password.. and there is where you can select the window manager.. so now how can i log in as gnome? is there another way
[23:01] <Slart> erle-: new kernel, new features, new requirements.. perhaps they included something that wasn't there before and is using more memory
[23:01] <erle-> Slart, but at the moment, when i run applications, i am close to 2 gigabytes
[23:01] <rodolfo_> jrib the source package was there for me and I couldn't resist
[23:01] <dean> OK how do I do it with xmodmap
[23:01] <MacGyverNL> DasEi: You saw the image? The power cable is a split between the data connector and the drive. When I power up the drive, the data connector is powered up automatically as well.
[23:01] <jrib> dean: even easier, use system -> preferences -> keyboard
[23:02] <jrib> rodolfo_: ok, well then I'd recommend just using the version in the repositories as it makes installing the plugins trivial
[23:02] <Slart> erle-: might be a configuration thing too.. perhaps the good ubuntu people decided we needed some big kernel module for some reason
[23:02] <erle-> Slart, but that does not make sense, it is just too much
[23:02] <MacGyverNL> DasEi: And when I then plug in USB, it didn't work at first. I think one of the pins might not have been making contact, or something like that.
[23:02] <sebsebseb> home:  ok you will want to name change if you can
[23:02] <erle-> Slart, they should not change this within a release
[23:02] <home> sebsebseb
[23:02] <MacGyverNL> DasEi: At least it's not an Ubuntu problem, which I thought at first because Windows initially said the drive was fine.
[23:02] <sebsebseb> home: should say the name on the client  change it there
[23:02] <anima_> ok, I got splash manager thingie issues, and I'm retarded.  Please someone help
[23:02] <myk_robinson> having trouble with gimp now doing transparency properly. If i have a transparent background, then add an image as a layer and erase part of it, white is shown instead of transparency.
[23:02] <drguildo> does anyone know of a firefox 3.1 package for amd64?
[23:02] <jrib> dean: system -> preferences -> keyboard -> layouts -> other options  to be even more specific
[23:02] <Slart> erle-: what happens if you kill gnome too.. ?
[23:02] <erle-> Slart, i dont think  they would
[23:02] <DasEi> MacGyverNL: nope, butr it takes a time to spin up /send drive ready, replugging just usb might help
[23:02] <home> sebsebseb where
[23:02] <erle-> Slart, gnome is killed automatically, too
[23:02] <jrib> drguildo: why don't you just use the firefox in the repositories?
[23:03] <erle-> Slart, when i kill x, all x-apps die
[23:03] <drguildo> jrib: because it's not 3.1?
[23:03] <rodolfo_> jrib I know but wait for the version to be available @ the repos? don't you know how to get my problem solved?
[23:03] <sebsebseb> guys is there a command to change the name in a IRC client?
[23:03] <Slart> erle-: I can just compare to my server running xubuntu it uses about 85 MB memory
[23:03] <MacGyverNL> DasEi: But that didn't help, which was the problem. Thanks for everything :)
[23:03] <SmileDay> I'm sad...
[23:03] <drguildo> jrib: i want <video> support and all that
[23:03] <anima_> sebseb:  /nick (whatever)
[23:03] <dean> jrib: but i'm not using gnome so i need it in plain X
[23:03] <sebsebseb> home:  do this:   /nick  anewname
[23:03] <jrib> drguildo: right.  So why do you want 3.1 instead of what is in the repositories?
[23:03] <Slart> erle-: but that's running hardy
[23:03] <jrib> rodolfo_: yeah, but the proper solution here is to just use the repositories
[23:03] <erle-> Slart, when i have a fresh booted system, it is not the same either
[23:03] <sebsebseb> viktorkAZ: ok sounds like you got rid of the GDM Gnome Display Manager the default Ubuntu screen
[23:03] <anima_> ok, so if someone could pm me about this, I'd appreciate it.
[23:04] <sebsebseb> viktorkAZ: what havey ou got instead of it?
[23:04] <rodolfo_> jrib. I get it. and your solution?
[23:04] <stroyan> erle-: Shared memory can persist when processes are killed.  Check that with   ipcs -u
[23:04] <erle-> Slart, the usage grows over time
[23:04] <jrib> dean: I switch caps lock and escape.  Here is my ~/.xmodmaprc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/113820/ .  A combination of google and that should be enough
[23:04] <PsynoKhi0> lakin: well there's a risc version of ubuntu but it seems dedicated to one specific hardware, way beyond my current knowledge sry... I bet the netbook's manufacturer uses some home brewed 2.4 kernel distro no one else runs
[23:05] <Slart> erle-: if I were you I would install several kernels.. there are a couple in the repos.. and make a small script that logs memory usage.. then compare different the kernels usage..
[23:05] <anima_> Actually, StartUp-Manager is what I'm having problems with...I fooled around trying to change the boot screen, and managed to really mess it up.
[23:05] <sebsebseb> plazia: oh interesting your  hostname says virginmedia.com  so your a newish customer?
[23:05] <xenocampanoli> Nope:  it still says it is using 9.0 r100 instead of 9.0.152.
[23:05] <sebsebseb> plazia: where as the rest of us it seems get blueyonder.co.uk or NTL
[23:05] <MacGyverNL> Right, next stop... I now have a working drive. Why isn't NTFS a highlighted possibility when I want to create a new partition on an empty partition table in gparted? ntfs-3g is installed, do I need ntfsprogs or something?
[23:05] <oblioiii> hello one and all
[23:05] <jrib> rodolfo_: look for the plugins folder wherever you installed your custom firefox to and drop the plugins in there.  Or just use ~/.mozilla/plugins/.  Really though, going outside the repositories without a good reason usually bites you later on
[23:05] <lakin> PsynoKhi0: thanks for the tip tho - came across this http://www.handheld-linux.com/wiki.php?page=Letux%20400 which looks like the exact same machine and lists the same processors etc.  It runs a debian etch OS - so it gives me hope
[23:05] <viktorkAZ> sebsebseb: well i uninstall everything that took time and i dont need.. like spash screen.. i did it the rude way.. using command line and thats it.. im not using everything.. it just log in directly to the desktop environment (which im using xfce btw)
[23:05] <erle-> Slart, where can i read kernel memory usage?
[23:05] <Slart> erle-: I haven't seen any reports of memory leaks in ubuntu kernels but I might have missed them
[23:06] <plazia> sebsebseb, such remarkable deductive prowess :)
[23:06] <sebsebseb> plazia:   I didn't quite understand :d explain?
[23:06] <erle-> Slart, i dont have to compare - if the kernel uses more then 500 alone, it is obviously going wrong
[23:06] <oblioiii> i am just reading, this is bewildering to me
[23:06] <Slart> erle-: well.. "free" will get you one number.. there are probably other ways of getting more detailed data.. some file in /proc perhaps
 is this thing on?  If so, I'll wait patiently.
[23:06] <psion> has anyone here setup two displays with an nvidia card?
[23:06] <Slart> erle-: you're still running gnome.. sure it's not a gnome problem?
[23:07] <oblioiii> sebsebseb : this also too fast moving for me
[23:07] <rodolfo_> jrib. It's the last time I ever do that. Just not enough patient to wait for that GOD DAMN update manager which gets everything, including what my machine DOES NOT have nor need to download it
[23:07] <erle-> Slart, yeah, when gnome is down, the memory usage is still high
[23:07] <stroyan> erle-: You can see more detail of kernel memory usage with the slabtop command from the procps package.
[23:07] <Jack_Sparrow> !language > rodolfo_
[23:07] <erle-> and there are no processes eating more memory than they usually do, Slart
[23:08] <rodolfo_> HEY I use the bloody intel driver. why the hell does it get/install ati/nvidia driver as well?
[23:08] <Kebb> Im having a weird network problem it seems, ping resolves addresses fine, but telnet does not and the proper dns server is in resolv.conf, any ideas?
[23:08] <Jack_Sparrow> !language > rodolfo_
[23:08] <rodolfo_> I got it Jack_Sparrow !
[23:08] <ldlework> I have a pair of Logitech 350 USB headphones. I have figured out how to set it as the default device so upon boot up sound is routed to them. But if I unplug them (to go home from work) when I plug them back in the sound does not work anymore. Anyone have a clue?
[23:09] <ldlework> :(
[23:09] <Jack_Sparrow> rodolfo_ then please keep it polite.. these people are volunteers
[23:09] <AbuYaseen> jrib: thank you
[23:09] <ldlework> I guess I'll just never unplug my headphones ever
[23:09] <ldlework> yey
[23:09] <rodolfo_> Jack_Sparrow its not their fault I didn't insult anyone here...it's update manager fault!
[23:10] <PsynoKhi0> lakin: np, I simply happened to have read about that netbook of yours, can't help much more unfortunately
[23:10] <erle-> stroyan, whats your total size there? mine is more than 450 megabytes
[23:10] <Slart> erle-: take a look at vmstat
[23:10] <lakin> PsynoKhi0: thanks - have a great day
[23:10] <Slart> erle-: that might provide some more info
[23:10] <ldlework> In the sound control panel when I do the test sound for the Alsa Logitech Headphones output it says:
[23:10] <ldlework> audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback.
[23:11] <ldlework> Even though the kernel log shows that its being recognized
[23:11] <erle-> Slart, could you take a look, what slabtop tells you about size?
[23:11] <ldlework> And if I select the OSS version of the Headphones
[23:11] <ldlework> I hear the tone
[23:11] <ldlework> Anyone!?
[23:11] <erle-> Slart, i have 450 of 460 MB
[23:11] <Slart> erle-: you want a pastebin of that?
[23:11] <erle-> Slart, just the two numbers
[23:12] <erle-> Slart, just take a look and tell me, please
[23:12] <Slart> erle-: 16156.82K / 18079.10K (89.4%)
[23:12] <rostislaw> ûûû
[23:12] <erle-> Slart, watch at mine:  455313.18K / 463766.46K (98.2%)
[23:12] <erle-> Slart, that doesnt look sane
[23:13] <Slart> erle-: can't you sort the list according to size? look at what's using all that memory?
[23:13] <anima_> OK, I'm having startup-manager issues.  I was goofing around with it, and hose my original config.  Can someone help me restore it, please?
[23:13] <lchi> Hi
[23:13] <anima_> hosed, even.
[23:13] <viktorkAZ> hey tnanks a lot im in gnome now
[23:13] <erle-> Slart, the top line says "dentry"
[23:13] <lchi> I have a quick question, if anyone is available to answer?
[23:13] <viktorkAZ> anyway.. im going back to xfce.. im so use to the speed of xfce.. gnome is to slow now for me
[23:13] <viktorkAZ> lol
[23:14] <erle-> Slart, i have no idea what it is
[23:14] <erle-> Slart, about 380 MB
[23:14] <jrib> lchi: best to just ask the channel your question.  If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you
[23:14] <lchi> ok. thx
[23:14] <Slart> erle-: mm.. dentry is here on mine too.. uses 2204K cache and 0.13K size
[23:14] <lchi> I want to install the nvidia 180 driver
[23:15] <veritos> Will 9.04 have native 64-bit flash (no nspluginwrapper) and Java (including plugin)?
[23:15] <lchi> i've downloaded the file off of the nvidia site
[23:15] <erle-> Slart, now, i am pretty sure that my suggestion was right
[23:15] <erle-> i will track a bug tomorrow
[23:15] <lchi> however, i have to remove the current nvidia driver.
[23:15] <jrib> lchi: use the repositories to install the nvidia driver
[23:15] <jrib> !nvidia > lchi
[23:16] <lchi> i have the binary driver installed
[23:16] <xenocampanoli> Okay, I always get 9.0 r100 showing on add-ons on FF, and I always get 9.0.152 on Synaptic, so presumably FF is just not able to work with 152 flash on 64bit Ubuntu yet....???
[23:16] <lchi> but the one in the repos isn't the latest one
[23:16] <erle-> Slart, thank you for your help; screw you for your "it cannot be the kernel" :)
[23:16] <jrib> lchi: you installed it by downloading from nvidia?  The intrepid repositories have 180, are you not on intrepid?
[23:16] <xenocampanoli> I tried reinstalls, and deleting flash plugins too.
[23:16] <lchi> i am on intrepid...
[23:16] <Slart> erle-: apparently dentry holds cached files and directories...
[23:17] <lchi> i'm pretty sure the latest driver i have is 179?
[23:17] <jrib> !who | lchi
[23:17] <lchi> ook
[23:17] <lchi> :)
[23:17] <damien> hello!
[23:17] <Jack_Sparrow> !flash64
[23:17] <PsynoKhi0> from gpg's commands: --delete-key name [...] "the key must be specified by fingerprint." what's the fingerprint they're referring to?
[23:17] <erle-> Slart, why is it so small on your system?
[23:17] <xenocampanoli> I have to admit I am way to squeamish to do reinstalls or uninstalls on all my flash stuff.
[23:17] <jrib> !info nvidia-glx-180 | lchi
[23:17] <osiel> some body can help me
[23:17] <Slart> erle-: I'm still not convinced it's a kernel bug =).. but perhaps I'll have to eat those words later .. check this link http://rackerhacker.com/2008/12/03/reducing-inode-and-dentry-caches-to-keep-oom-killer-at-bay/
[23:17] <damien> may I ask a question about using 8.10 and an ATI X1400 and a SyncMaster 305t? :) anyone?
[23:17] <veritos> Jack_Sparrow: Yes, I know. I'm talking native, not wrappers.
[23:17] <ortsvorsteher> !anybody | osiel
[23:18] <Slart> erle-: I have no idea.. I have 5 TB storage on this computers so there are a lot of files to cache if it really wants
[23:18] <Kebb> Is there any reason why nslookup would resolve a name to an IP but Im only able to telnet using the IP not the name?
[23:18] <veritos> Jack_Sparrow: That means no OpenJDK (or no Sun, that's fine too), no nspluginwrapper.
[23:18] <Jack_Sparrow> veritos I can agree with no wrapper..
[23:18] <damien> Has anyone gotten the ati x1400 working at 2560x1600?
[23:18] <PsynoKhi0> nvm case solved
[23:18] <jrib> veritos: #ubuntu+1 for jaunty questions
[23:18] <osiel> im using ubuntu 5 and i need to upgrade do you know who
[23:19] <erle-> Slart, my caches are more than 780 MB, they cant be in there
[23:19] <acclivous> hello! im having a problem with a new ubuntu installation.  just installed on a system with an onboard ati firegl video adapter, but the system doesnt seem to recognize the card, and im limited to 800x600 resolution.  ive added Driver "ati" to the xorg.conf file and restarted gdm to no avail.  All I really need is 1024x768 no hardware accelleration or anything crazy... im kinda surprised it didnt just autodetect 
[23:19] <erle-> according to "free", Slart
[23:19] <osiel> yes any body can help me
[23:19] <Kebb> Ive tried testing with telnet but get the following on theinstall in question: telnet: could not resolve www.google.net/80: Name or service not known
[23:19] <Kebb> well except not google.net, but you get the idea
[23:19] <nickrud_> osiel, you mean you're running 5.04 or 5.10?
[23:19] <Slart> erle-: wasn't dentry using 300MB according to slabtop?
[23:19] <osiel> 5.10
[23:20] <damien> acclivous, I am working on getting my ati card working too... have you tried both the binary and the restricted driver?
[23:20] <ortsvorsteher> !upgrade
[23:20] <austin666> Hello
[23:20] <Slart> erle-: here's another interesting thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1039744
[23:20] <nickrud_> osiel, I strongly recommend that you don't upgrade, but rather get a much later version, 8.04 or 8.10 and do a fresh install
[23:20] <austin666> anyone know about ubuntu server?
[23:20] <erle-> Slart, yes, and thats the reason, i dont think it is the cache
[23:20] <acclivous> damien:  yea, nothing seems to work
[23:20] <nickrud_> osiel, you have to upgrade to 6.04 then 8.04 then 8.10 if desired
[23:21] <erle-> Slart, i have an ibm laptop, too ....
[23:21] <austin666> can anyone helpme?
[23:21] <acclivous> is there some kind of utility that will auto-detect my video card and monitor?  i remember back in the days of Red Hat 7-9 there was a program that worked 99% of the time called Xconfigurator.. is there a similar utility in Ubuntu?
[23:21] <damien> acclivous, did you see they released a new driver? ati-driver-installer-9-1-x86.x86_64.run
[23:21] <osiel> i been download the 8.10 but i donk know who to find
[23:21] <damien> oh man I miss Xconfigurator
[23:21] <xenocampanoli> I'm sorry.  I am not seeing the yellow bar mentioned, so it appears to not be working for me.
[23:21] <damien> that was so awesome
[23:21] <austin666> anyone?
[23:22] <damien> austin666, what are you trying to do?
[23:22] <austin666> :) i have putty online, and trying to transfer files to my server
[23:22] <nickrud_> osiel, you mean you want 8.10, but can't find it?  releases.ubuntu.com/8.10
[23:22] <austin666> its got ubuntu server ed. and the files are on a vista PC, all connected on a network
[23:22] <erle-> Slart, dentry seems to refer to "directory entry"
[23:22] <damien> anyone have any luck getting ati drivers to do 2560x1600?
[23:23] <xenocampanoli> Uh oh.  I got something going, but it says wrong architecture...
[23:23] <doglino> HOW I DO TO watch a movie DVD in TOTEM?
[23:23] <Slart> erle-: yup..I saw a post on how to force it to clear that cache.. of course I closed the firefox window since then
[23:23] <osiel> i have been downloaded, but i stil donk know qho to use it because i need to burn in a disk
[23:24] <nickrud_> osiel, did you download it in ubuntu or windows?
[23:24] <osiel> ubuntu
[23:24] <erle-> Slart, i will investigate tomorrow and open a bug, if it is appearently one
[23:24] <nickrud_> osiel, you should be able to right click the iso and select burn to disk
[23:25] <erle-> now i want to bed, Slart
[23:25] <erle-> Slart, ciao, thanks for your support
[23:25] <Slart> erle-: good luck witht he bug.. good night
[23:25] <anima_> OK, I'm having startup-manager issues.  I was goofing around with it, and hose my original config.  Can someone help me restore it, please?
[23:25] <Smegzor> In Nautilus, how do you select multiple files at once?  The traditional method of holding the control key doesn't work.  That just expands a directory (not what I want).
[23:26] <jonreagan> ctrl-z I believe
[23:26] <osiel> this pc i have not a cd burner so i need to save in a memory
[23:26] <jonreagan> oh, nvm
[23:26] <Slart> Smegzor: ctrl works for me
[23:26] <cybro> ctrl+a works for me
[23:26] <doglino> Smegzor what is your nautilus/
[23:26] <doglino> ?
[23:26] <Smegzor> hmm..  mine hasn't worked in a long time
[23:26] <acclivous> no i didnt see that - how do i get it?  im an old RHCE not familiar with ubuntu at all
[23:26] <acclivous> apt-get?
[23:27] <austin666> so yah, anyone know how to tras. the files from computer to computer?
[23:27] <Smegzor> doglino: 2.24.1
[23:27] <Slart> Smegzor: does shift work for you?
[23:27] <ortsvorsteher> austin666: transfer from windows box to ubuntu server?
[23:27] <doglino> your keyboard must have a problem..
[23:27] <nickrud_> osiel, http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html has instructions for installing ubuntu without a cd.
[23:27] <Smegzor> No that just expands the first subfolder as well
[23:28] <Smegzor> I do have some nautilus plugins.  It might be one of those causing this
[23:28] <Slart> Smegzor: it does this regardless of wether you use the right or left shift/ctrl?
[23:28] <ortsvorsteher> !pm | austin666
[23:28] <ortsvorsteher> austin666: you have winscp installed? or you use putty with sftp may?
[23:28] <austin666> >.> ok, sorry about all that.
[23:28] <austin666> um, i use putty
[23:29] <ortsvorsteher> austin666: do you have putty sftp installed also?
[23:29] <Smegzor> hmm..  right shift works correctly.  I was wrong about control.  I got confused,  I meant shift, but left shift is still broken for me
[23:29] <anima_> OK, I'm having startup-manager issues.  I was goofing around with it, and hosed my original config.  Can someone help me restore it, please?
[23:29] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[23:29] <Slart> Smegzor: have you checked the settings in system, preferences, keyboard?
[23:29] <austin666> ortsvorsteher: I'm not sure.  I just have putty.exe, and type in my ip address, and that terminal window opens up on my windows pc
[23:30] <Smegzor> hmm..  odd.  now that I got it working with right shift, its working with left or right and both control keys do their thing correctly.  I'll quit nautilus and see if it reverts
[23:30] <ortsvorsteher> austin666: with putty, which you have now, you are abel to connect to linux box and work there. but without an scp / sftp client, you will not be able to send files to linux box
[23:31] <waylandbill> austin666, you would know because it there would be psftp.exe. :)
[23:31] <austin666> oh, well then i guess i don't have it xD.  I just look for it online and download it?
[23:31] <waylandbill> austin666, you can get pscp.exe and psftp.exe from the same place you got putty.exe
[23:32] <neil_d> I have exim4 installed is listening on localhost:25 :(    I want to change this to listen on the 10.7.0.6 interface,  how do I setup the SMTPLISTENEROPTIONS ?
[23:32] <austin666> great, lemmi go snag that real quick
[23:32] <waylandbill> austin666, keep in mind that they are CLI... not like WinSCP.
[23:32] <Smegzor> control and shift are still working after closing nautilus.  I'll have to restart X or reboot to break it again it seems.  Oh well..  a fix is a fix :)
[23:32] <austin666> waylandbill: I have no clue what that means
[23:32] <wemdowemd> I want to make a portable Ubuntu install on a flash USB - there are several options but I'm thinking the official LiveUSB creator is the best candidate. Thing is though, I want it all encrypted. Normal ubuntu installations can do this with LUKS, so is what I want possible?
[23:33] <evenstar> I'm running 8.10 Intrepid Ibex, and every time I modify my /etc/fstab it reverts on/before reboot, I'm trying to keep my NTFS partitions mounted with ntfs-3g intead of auto mounting them. could you help?
[23:33] <osiel> nickrud i downloaded a ubuntu from ares thats was a good idea?
[23:33] <waylandbill> austin666, you use them in a command prompt. They don't have a 'window' interface. They work similar to scp/sftp on a *nix system.
[23:33] <ortsvorsteher> austin666: he means, if you like to drag and drop, than will be winscp better. otherwhise you have an command line interface
[23:34] <Jack_Sparrow> evenstar Are you editing manually?
[23:34] <Slart> evenstar: that sounds really weird.. you edit the fstab, it works alright, you reboot and it's back to where it was before??
[23:34] <austin666> Ok, great. Well, I already have pscp.exe and psftp.exe on my desktop now, so i guess i'll use them.  What do i do now?
[23:34] <BugeyeD> hi all. i accidentally deleted a default config file placed by a .deb package; is there a way to rewrite the file without a reinstall of the package?
[23:34] <BugeyeD> i mean, is it possible to retrieve a single file like in a tar archive?
[23:34] <un_dave> i have ubuntu 8.10 installed on my dell mini 9, wireless working fine with the broadcom STA drivers, but when i type in iwconfig, i get a message about eth1, the wireless device like "Driver has no wireless extension version information." and hence, apps like conky, have trouble getting any wireless information for the system. Anyone have any ideas?
[23:34] <osiel> and i downloaded from ubuntu pages
[23:34] <nickrud_> osiel, ubuntu is best
[23:34] <evenstar> Yes, and through mountmanager.
[23:34] <evenstar> Slaart, Yes, and through mountmanager.
[23:35] <anima_> OK, I'm having startup-manager issues.  I was goofing around with it, and hosed my original config.  Can someone help me restore it, please?
[23:35] <Stargazer> I have unrar installed... how do i create a RAR Archive ?
[23:35] <evenstar> Slart, Yes, and through mountmanager.
[23:35] <anima_> It's just the splash thing, but I want it like it was, not screwed up like it is.  Oh, and I'm blonde.
[23:35] <anima_> So let's not confuse me.
[23:35] <waylandbill> Stargazer, unrar extracts rar files. You need rar to create rar archives.
[23:35] <Slart> evenstar: do you have a normal ubuntu setup? nothing weird like unionfs or so?
[23:36] <nickrud_> !usplash | anima_, well, I only help brunettes, sorry.
[23:36] <nickrud_> anima_, that should reset your splash properly
[23:36] <kansan> is there an automated way to install sun-java-5?  without requiring me to say YES?  or is there any alternative that i can install in a scriptable way (without having to provide confirmation that i agree to their legal baloney_?
[23:36] <SonicComKid> anyone here familar with install-MBR?
[23:36] <evenstar> Slart: Actually, it's Kubuntu, as KDE 4.1 is installed, but other then that, nothing strange, ext3 fs.
[23:37] <Monaro427> Is there a way I can change eth2 to eth1 without rebooting the system? I changed the 70-persistent-net.rules file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ to remove a eth1 that was installed via a usb device.
[23:38] <austin666> What do i do now that i have the two clients?
[23:38] <osiel> ok who can i find it to save a disk on burn in another machine with cd burnerchine
[23:38] <kaveh> hi all
[23:38] <Slart> evenstar: I can't really think of anything that would revert your changes to the fstab.. unless your hard drive is silently dieing and refusing to accept writes
[23:38] <waylandbill> kansan, you can install an alternative java implementation that doesn't have a license to accept.
[23:38] <Slart> Monaro427: perhaps restarting udev will work? it might mess things up though
[23:38] <kansan> waylandbill, such as?
[23:38] <kaveh> i have nvidia graphic card what is the best driver to insall
[23:38] <Stargazer> thank you, waylandbill.
[23:39] <kaveh> what i am suppose to do
[23:39] <Slart> kaveh: depends on if your first name is richard and you look like Santa Clause or if you want to use your computer for any kind of gaming =)
[23:39] <CetiEel> kaveh, just install the proprietary driver?
[23:39] <CetiEel> should appear an icon asking if you want it installed
[23:40] <evenstar> Slart: So, other then fixing fstab, is there a way to make my NTFS partitions mount on boot instead of automount?
[23:40] <netsurf3> hi guys something weird is going on with my dvds when erasing/burning to dvd+rw's
[23:40] <netsurf3> they seem to just crash half way through
[23:40] <Monaro427> Slart: restarting udev didn't help. I also restarted the network which didn't help either
[23:40] <Slart> evenstar: not that I know of.. that's the recommended way afaik
[23:40] <kaveh> CetiEel: i installed ubuntu right now but it seems to lack in driver
[23:40] <lup> ciao a tutti
[23:40] <Slart> !ntfs | evenstar
[23:40] <waylandbill> kansan, gcj or openjdk perhaps.
[23:40] <Slart> Monaro427: then I guess a reboot is needed
[23:40] <netsurf3> windows does not have this issue but it seems to be a problem throughout multiple burning programs
[23:41] <CetiEel> kaveh: weird. For me there is always an "install proprietary driver" icon appearing in the menu right after an install. I also hava an nvidia card
[23:41] <wannab> CetiEel: yup! me to...
[23:41] <cratel> as soon as I play a flash video, no other app can access my sound card until I restart.
[23:41] <Monaro427> Slart: I guess so. Thanks
[23:41] <kaveh> CetiEel: in menu?
[23:42] <SonicComKid> I need someone to tell me how to clear out a bad GRUB install to an MBR on the wrong disk without destorying the data on the disk
[23:42] <CetiEel> kaveh, if you use gnome it should be up there in the upper menu far right
[23:42] <wannab> kaveh: the top right of your screen
[23:42] <timbellomo> After my last reboot, I've been unable to login to Ubuntu.  The best way to describe it is a "login loop."  As soon as I enter the password, the screen blacks out, and then reloads the login window.  When trying at the terminal login, I get similarly repeating login prompts.  I asked on ubuntuforums (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1047692) and they referred me here after initial troubleshooting failed.  I can 
[23:43] <CetiEel> kaveh: I guess you can also search for "nvidia" in synaptic and manually install it
[23:43] <kaveh> i dont see it
[23:43] <kaveh> CetiEel: i am upgrading
[23:44] <wemdowemd> Can anybody point me in the right direction for getting a flash-USB portable Ubuntu install that is encrypted? Both are possible individually right off the LiveCD, so combining them should be doable.
[23:44] <anima_> OK, so did that, and it didn't work.  I still have scrolling text, and a big blue foot thing.
[23:44] <CetiEel> kaveh: is it a brand new card or some older model?
[23:45] <kaveh> i see shutdown icon , then time ,then volume , then network
[23:45] <CetiEel> usually nvidia cards seem to work woithout problems as far as i know
[23:45] <kaveh> CetiEel: new card
[23:45] <wannab> timbellomo: well there are really 2 ways to fix this. 1. reload. 2. if you know how to use grub you could boot into single user mode with -s and then reset your password
[23:46] <CetiEel> well, I suggest you do a search in synaptic for "nvidia" and there will probably be some driver packages there you can try installing if the proprietary driver icon does not show up
[23:46] <nkei0> So, I've broken my Acer Aspire 1680 laptop while running 8.10.  I updated to the new radeon driver and restarted without configuring it.  Now when I go to start up X will not come up, I can still log in with ttyl(sp?) though.  Also, if i sudo modprobe radeon and then startx it works.  How can I make that perm so I don't have to do it everytime?
[23:47] <kaveh> CetiEel: it is nvidia 8200
[23:47] <anima_> is there anyway to fix this, or should I just keep banging my head against the keyboard?
[23:48] <funkyHat> What's up with bzr and bzrtools dependencies?
[23:48] <kaveh> CetiEel: i might need to upgrade
[23:49] <funkyHat> (in the bzr ppa)
[23:49] <fluffybacon> nkei0:  post your xorg logs on pastebin
[23:49] <CetiEel> upgrade what, kaveh?
[23:49] <Jack_Sparrow> SonicComKid I can probably help with that
[23:49] <kaveh> CetiEel: the system
[23:49] <kaveh> CetiEel: i restart now see what happens
[23:50] <nkei0> fluffybacon: I'm still pretty new to this, what's the best way to view the logs of what you need to see?
[23:50] <CetiEel> should always keep your system upgraded :)
[23:50] <CetiEel> gl
[23:50] <kaveh> thanks all
[23:50] <wemdowemd> OK, easier questions: Can I add new programs to a LiveUSB, given it's just a copy of the LiveCD + persistence? Is the storage of any persistent settings etc. completely separate from the LiveCD bit, such that the latter never changes? What is the nature of this separation? Pointing me to a page explaining the details or something will do
[23:50] <fluffybacon> cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE
[23:51] <Jack_Sparrow> !persistent
[23:51] <Jack_Sparrow> !usb
[23:51] <anima_> I hate dumping this install when I don't have to just because I don't know this OS.
[23:52] <wemdowemd> Jack_Sparrow: Thanks
[23:52] <nkei0> fluffybacon: What was that supposed to do?  I pasted it in and it gave me an error about an MIT screensaver... and reverting back to software rendering
[23:53] <fluffybacon> that's fine, just checking if there was a problem loading the driver
[23:53] <Slart> nkei0: cat prints a file.. grep searches for a certain string and prints lines that contain that string
[23:53] <nkei0> oh
[23:53] <nkei0> Slart: Thanks
[23:54] <mikeshollen> Can I get some help getting my wireless card working?  I have Ubuntu 8.04 and it doesn't seem to be registering like it did with 8.10.
[23:54] <Slart> nkei0: just write "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log" and you'll get the whole thing
[23:54] <crx> hey all, sum one help with a wireless question?? please
[23:54] <Slart> nkei0: the log file is from X starting up.. lines that contain an error starts with EE.. it's a good way to see why you don't have acceleration or other problems
[23:54] <marios> #ubuntu-gr
[23:55]  * anima_ taps her fingernails on the keyboard patiently.
[23:55] <Slart> anima_: what was your problem?
[23:56] <nkei0> How can I get the log of my bootup?
[23:56] <Slart> nkei0: some stuff ends up in dmesg, but not the very first text..
[23:56] <anima_> I was messing around trying to install a splash screen, I was in startupmanager...next boot gave me text and a big blue footprint.  I want the original back.  how do I do that, please?
[23:56] <yoyoned> nkei0: why, what are you looking for>
[23:56] <anima_> slart:  thank you, btw.
[23:57] <Slart> anima_: oh, don't thank me yet.. I might make your computer explode or something
[23:57] <Slart> =)
[23:57] <anima_> HAHA, I already did that with windows.  That's why I'm here.
[23:57] <nkei0> yoyoned: I can't start X when I first bootup, I have to first login via command line and then "sudo modprobe radeon" and "startx"
[23:57] <wannab> Slart: hehe good 1
[23:57] <kaveh> hi
[23:57] <kaveh> yes
[23:58] <kaveh> now it works good
[23:58] <kaveh> thanks
[23:58] <crx> if ubunti says there is a non free driver avalible for my wireless car, will it have to be downloaded or is it already in my system??
[23:58] <crx> card*
[23:58] <wannab> nkei0: did you include the radeon driver in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?
[23:58] <kansan> when i install sun-java5-jre  on ubuntu hardy ;; and then run java -v:  Could not create the Java virtual machine..... even after i did sudo update-java-alternatives correctly
[23:58] <yoyoned> nkei0: look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[23:58] <nkei0> wannab: I have no idea how to do that.
[23:58] <Slart> anima_: ok.. so you installed a new usplash theme?
[23:58] <fluffybacon> nkei0: try using dpkg-reconfigure  --configure  xorg-driver-fglrx
[23:58] <anima_> I've reached the point where I'm invested and don't want to reinstall if possible.  What a pain.  Yes, well, I *tried*, yes.
[23:59] <wannab> nkei0: there you go.... good one fluffybacon
[23:59] <anima_> But I got a lot of boot text, and the gnome thing.
[23:59] <TwoD> crx, it'll have to be downloaded, but since Ubuntu knows about it, it should be done automatically.
[23:59] <anima_> Not my idea of results I was expecting.
[23:59] <nkei0> fluffybacon: Should I do that from this terminal or shutdown and do it from the commandline?
[23:59] <Slart> anima_: and if you start the startup manager and go to Appearance, "Manage usplash themes" what do you see?
[23:59] <anima_> Just the one I installed.
[23:59] <fluffybacon> terminal
[23:59] <Slart> anima_: you don't have the usplash-theme-ubuntu?
