[00:00] <joshjtl> are there any nice "tours"  of Ubuntu for windows users? I'd like to have something for my parents to flip through to get a little more aquainted with Ubuntu, and how to do their normal Windows in Ubuntu
[00:00] <tyrosine2> yeah joshjtl, check the windows->ubuntu transition page on the ubuntu docs website
[00:00] <fearful> joshjtl: Best way to do that is show them Ubuntu's power yourself, in my opinion.
[00:01] <filsuf> anybody runs 8.10 in Asus EEE 1000H?
[00:01] <joshjtl> tyrosine2: thanks
[00:01] <wubrgamer> 6OShey everyone

[00:02] <joshjtl> fearful: yeah I will but I would still like something there for them they can go back to whenever they want, some people prefer to learn on their own instead of having to go and ask someone if they can't figure something out.
[00:02] <rraj_be> hello every one . ..Good morning + Wishes for a Great Day Ahead of you
[00:02] <Fiftyone> Eeepc 1000h here
[00:02] <filsuf> which one do you use Fiftyone ? the generic download CD or from Asus?
[00:02] <wubrgamer> i'm from woodbridge
[00:02] <filsuf> nice ... I'm jealous Fiftyone ;)
[00:02] <filsuf> I'll go buy one tomorrow ... if I'm not that lazy to go to BestBuy

[00:02] <fearful> joshjtl: Oh I see
[00:03] <Myrtti> rraj_be: and what does that link have to do with Ubuntu?
[00:03] <Fiftyone> filsuf i used the generic but i ended up using the eee specific kernel to fix some bugs with the eee
[00:03] <brodie_> hi all
[00:04] <Necrogamemaster> Can linux use C++, or is there a specific C++ package?
[00:04] <rraj_be> oh . .nothing Myrtti  . .please dont think as i am spaming . .its my college cultural feast site . . .just i have given here to share a cool site
[00:04] <filsuf> oh ... it sounds steep Fiftyone
[00:04] <rraj_be> thats all
[00:04] <rraj_be> sorry if i am wrong
[00:04] <Myrtti> rraj_be: in future, use #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:04] <filsuf> soonoh, the generic kernel doesnt work just like that?
[00:04] <rraj_be> sure and thanks a lot Myrtti
[00:04] <Fiftyone> filsuf its amazing worth every penny... Kernel replacement is nothing took a few min
[00:04] <filsuf> did you try to install the drivers yourself when you used the generic ISO Fiftyone ?
[00:05] <filsuf> it's so cheap Fiftyone ... only 329
[00:05] <Caesi> hi all.. how can I disable Tomboy notes from opening at startup? I've looked at startup programmes, but it's not in there
[00:05] <filsuf> plus 1GB RAM ... total less than 400
[00:05] <filsuf> so I thought, why not
[00:05] <Fiftyone> Flisuf i suggest using easy peasy the eeepc version of ubuntu
[00:05] <filsuf> I need a new laptop anyway
[00:05] <tyrosine2> Caesi: try launching msconfig.exe
[00:05] <imri303> I have about three netbook class machines I am playing with at work :)
[00:05] <Caesi> ?
[00:05] <Caesi> Ubuntu? :)
[00:05] <Caesi> sorry
[00:05] <tyrosine2> it's a joke
[00:05] <Fiftyone> Yea man its an awesome machine even better with ubun2
[00:06] <filsuf> what version is that Fiftyone ?
[00:06] <Caesi> :D
[00:06] <imri303> acer, lenovo, and the dell mini9 :)
[00:06] <filsuf> I will just dual-boot Fiftyone ...
[00:06] <Fiftyone> 8.10
[00:06] <filsuf> maybe I'll put the light Windows FLP in there
[00:06] <Myrtti> tyrosine2: ...
[00:06] <filsuf> did you try any other distro in it Fiftyone ?
[00:06] <tyrosine2> I just got an "averatec n1000" which is pretty much a repackaged (10.2'') MSI Wind.  It was 314$ at Circuit Shitty's going out of business sale
[00:07] <tyrosine2> it runs ubuntu well.  3d accel, wireless, etc etc

[00:11] <thedude420> OK guys I have a question and problem I really need help with. The problem is with my wireless card, Intel PRO/Wireless 3945. It will pick up a lot of wireless networks but not mine. I have a linksys WRT160N router. The router is set to send all types (b/g/n). Second does anybody have a recommendion for a good torrent client. I am used to using utorrent on my mac and in xp. I need something that can do things like select only certi

Now, during boot time, the progress bar stops halfway for about 5 mins before it resumes rebooting.. What could be the problem? This also happened to me when I used intrepid. I am now using hardy...
[00:11] <fo> tyrosine2, just used mplayer dvd://1
[00:11] <filsuf> make it easier Fiftyone ... copy that to an external HD

[00:11] <filsuf> if your mac can go online and the file is not that huge .... use skype!

[00:13] <Fiftyone> Yes i read it fine but some files are restricted because of the premission problem
[00:13] <filsuf> Kiwi is kinda retarded I heard
[00:13] <adred> any help pls...
[00:13] <fearful> Anyone know why when I unplug the computer from AC power the lightness doesn't dim, but when I plug it back in it does dim on xfce and on gnome works fine
[00:14] <filsuf> then change the permission Fiftyone ... if you cant change it ... rename it

[00:14] <e3co> Input passed to the "action" parameter in apply.cgi is not properly sanitised before being returned to the administrator. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in an administrator"s browser session in context of an affected device.
[00:14] <Fiftyone> i can do nothing with it
[00:14] <filsuf> this is just a practical advice for not indulging in the mess of permission jungle
[00:14] <jegomez> Someone just gave me a 2GB USB flash drive and I haven't been able to see past 2MB. Nothing I do with fdisk, gpart or gparted is working. Any hints?
[00:14] <filsuf> can you less it Fiftyone ?
[00:15] <tyrosine2> jegomez: cfdisk it
[00:15] <fo> how can one operating system fail so hard
[00:15] <tor> jegomez: Tie them to the wheel and tell them to give you the encryption key or you'll, you'll, you'll!
[00:15] <e3co> thedude420:  just use transmission or a cli version of something
[00:15] <jegomez> tor: I don't care about the content. I just want to format it and use it anew
[00:16] <DigitalKiwi> mkfs.ext3 it?
[00:16] <e3co> thedude420:  for your torrents

[00:16] <Bernier> Hi, my wireless connection is working but only for like 5 min after it freezes, after that even if I disconnect/reconnect there is absolutely no way to reconnect back. Anyone know about this?
[00:16] <BCampbell> thedude420:: is your router set to broadcast ssid?
[00:16]  * Until_It_Sleeps smooches whoever it was that helped him restore GRUB
[00:17] <e3co> Fiftyone:  so you can mount the drive?
[00:18] <Fiftyone> E3co yes its mounted and i am browsing it now however some fils and dir are locked
[00:18] <szrhawaii> im trying to get the gui for xmms to work on my desktop but not sure how any help on this
[00:18] <e3co> how about sudo chmod -R 777 /mountpoint
[00:19] <Until_It_Sleeps> Do you guys support Kubuntu, or is that in a different channel?
[00:19] <Fiftyone> Let me try
[00:19] <_VIM_>  Until_It_Sleeps #Kubuntu
[00:19] <nickrud_> Until_It_Sleeps, some here, kde specific #kubuntu
[00:19] <tyrosine2> Until_It_Sleeps: ask away
[00:19] <Until_It_Sleeps> :D
[00:19] <Until_It_Sleeps> How would I connect to a wireless network in Kubuntu?
[00:20] <_VIM_> KDE ftw, i just dont like #Kubuntu cause no one talks :(
[00:20] <e3co> Depending on the drive it could take a while
[00:20] <Travis-42> on my test Ubuntu Server, when I run a "aptitude install" command I am told that "the following packages have been kept back: linux-headers-server linux-image-server linux-server"  Why?
[00:20] <nickrud_> !xmms | szrhawaii
[00:20] <tyrosine2> Until_It_Sleeps: does your wireless adapter show up in "ifconfig"?
[00:20] <Until_It_Sleeps> Specifically, it was installed via a LinuxMCE dvd
[00:20] <mcnellis> when I start my computer it starts the CPU in the -g powersave governor so I always have to run cpufreq-selector -g performance
[00:20] <szrhawaii> sorry it is xmms2
[00:20] <mcnellis> how can I change the startup mode/
[00:21] <tyrosine2> szrhawaii: audacious is the way to go, not xmms2
[00:21] <e3co> Travis-42:  I notice that when I run apt from the cli that sometimes happens. If you install xorg and update-manager you can use update manager without ever loaded gnome
[00:21] <e3co> loaded=loading
[00:21] <szrhawaii> ok ill try that out
[00:21] <khaled> Hi guys. How do I change the login screen theme from the command line?
[00:21] <tyrosine2> szrhawaii: just apt-get install it, it'll perform just like xmms used to
[00:21] <thedude420> BCampbell: I yes, that is what is confusing me so much oh and to correct myself it is a wrt110N
[00:21] <jegomez> tyrosine2: tried cfdisk on the flash drive, same thing (it only sees 2MB)
[00:22] <szrhawaii> ok sounds good doing that right now
[00:22] <e3co> Travis-42:  its the same line of research as " a headless virtualbox ubuntu server" google it.
[00:22] <nickrud_> Travis-42, generally a package is held back because a package it depends upon could not be upgraded
[00:22] <Until_It_Sleeps> tyrosine2: I assume the fact that a "wlan0" section means yes>
[00:22] <Travis-42> thanks e3co, I'll look into it
[00:23] <Travis-42> nickrud_: is that common for things like "linux-server" ?
[00:23] <e3co> nickrud: I have seen this happen before as well. If i run update-manager it works fine
[00:23] <tyrosine2> jegomez: then use cfdisk to erase the partitions and make your own 2GB partition
[00:23] <mcnellis> ah, actually it starts in the ondemand governor but it doesn't ever seem to raise the freq when it's needed
[00:23] <nickrud_> Travis-42, not really. Check what e3co is googling, seems like he's seen this specific error before
[00:23] <tyrosine2> Until_It_Sleeps: kwifimanager?
[00:24] <nickrud_> e3co, I'd be interested in the cause, since aptitude usually has excellent warning systems
[00:24] <jegomez> tyrosine2: I delete the partitions, but cfdisk won't let me enter a size larger than 2 for the new one
[00:24] <Until_It_Sleeps> Currently not installed.
[00:24] <e3co> mine isn't a fix its just a work around that gives you the option of running graphic applications without gnome
[00:24] <tyrosine2> jegomez: maybe you could just pop it in an 'ol windows machine and get it working that way?
[00:25] <Fiftyone> hello im trying to copy a file from an old mac hard disk i have but there are premission peoblems which wont even let me view the files. I tried  sudo cp -f to a local dir but it keeps saying obiting 'FILE NAME IM TRYING TO COPY' any ideas how i can access these files?
[00:25] <Until_It_Sleeps> and I have no way to download it without connecting to my wireless network.
[00:25] <tyrosine2> jegomez: I have a 2gb USB drive that works fine on ubuntu - autodetected it the first time I plugged it in
[00:25] <jdmnynja> Hey can anyone help me with manually replacing files that are missing out of rhythmbox?
[00:25] <jegomez> tyrosine2: this has (had) some kind of encrypted partition (I imagine)
[00:25] <e3co> Fiftyone:  no love with chmod?
[00:26] <joshjtl> I'm running Ubuntu on a slower machine than I'm used to: 1.6ghz P4, with 512ram It's not very responsive, and can be down right slow at times, is there anything other than changing Effects to "none" (which I already did) that can help?
[00:26] <filsuf> OMG .... so ... I can reuse my old SD card for installing Windows or Linux on my future Asus EEE
[00:26] <filsuf> that is nice!
[00:26] <DIFH-iceroot> joshjtl: using xubuntu-desktop instead of gnome
[00:26] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, sudo apt-get reinstall rhythmbox should replace any missing files, with the exception of /etc
[00:26] <Fiftyone> e3co naw
[00:26] <Fiftyone> Damn thing
[00:26] <BCampbell> thedude420:: the only thing I can think of is you're on two different channels?  I know it shouldn't matter, but you never know
[00:27] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: no that solution only gives me E: rhythmbox: subprocess pre-removal script returned error status 2
[00:27] <joshjtl> DIFH-iceroot: yeah I was considering that, but the problem is this system is my parents and theyre used to windows, so I dont think that they will be that comfortable with XFCE
[00:27] <DIFH-iceroot> joshjtl: ok
[00:27] <nickrud_> ah, put the complete error on paste.ubuntu.com.  from the start of the command till the end
[00:27] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: I've tried to purge, remove, install, a lot of things. nothing worked. the only solution I can find to it is to manually replace the missing files from the package.
[00:28] <LogicFan> if you install msttcorefonts via synaptic, does gnome switch to using them by default?
[00:28] <nickrud_> LogicFan, no, they are simply available. Mostly good for web sites that prefer them
[00:28] <joshjtl> DIFH-iceroot: anything else I can do?
[00:28] <LogicFan> nickrud, thanks, appreciate it
[00:30] <thedude420> did some looking and it looks like I am out of luck with ubuntu and linksys WRT110. Thanks anyways guys
[00:30] <e3co> joshjtl:  check private messeges
[00:31] <nICOOO> hello
[00:31] <nICOOO> does any1 know about socket programming?

[00:31] <jove> Hi, does anyone know how to convert TOAST file to ISO file ?
[00:31] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, did you put the output up? if so, give me the link so I can see the full error report
[00:31] <ben_ny> Hi all
[00:31] <e3co> daa
[00:31] <e3co> ?
[00:31] <e3co> what is extention of toad .img?
[00:31] <e3co> toad=toast
[00:31] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: i did put the output up, but I don't have the link. what do you want me to run so you can see?
[00:32] <FluxD> Hi, I cant click anything on my desktop for some reason
[00:32] <tyrosine2> FluxD: what WM u usin?
[00:32] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, when you hit submit, the url in the location bar changes to include a number. That full url is what I need so I can see the page
[00:32] <djamel> FluxD it's safer :)
[00:32] <ben_ny> I have a quick n00b question. I just hooked a Cannon S9000 printer up via USB - and Ubuntu picked it up right away / shows up as my default. However, I get no options for paper size other then LTR, and actual printing brings up a generic 'error' message. Sound familiar? Msg me, thanks! (not a tech-guy btw, plain english needed!)
[00:32] <FluxD> tyrosine2, compiz, but then I went back to metacity but same problem
[00:32] <CarlFK> how do I remove a package, including any confg files?  (I want it to ask for options when I re-install)
[00:32] <FluxD> lol djamel
[00:32] <djamel> :)
[00:32] <nickrud_> CarlFK, sudo apt-get purge <package>
[00:33] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: hold on I will have to go make a link
[00:33] <jove> Hi, does anyone know how to convert .TOAST file to ISO file ?
[00:33] <ari_stress> good morning all :)
[00:33] <khaled> How do I change my login screen gnome theme from command line?
[00:34] <CarlFK> nickrud - no luck.  sudo apt-get purge mysql-server ... sudo apt-get install mysql-server - didn't aske me for the admin pw
[00:34] <tyrosine2> jove: mv a.toast a.iso
[00:34] <FluxD> tyrosine2, any ideas?
[00:34] <tyrosine2> FluxD: are you referring to icons which cannot be clicked?
[00:34] <jove> tyrosine2, is that simple and easy ?
[00:34] <alienkid> hello how do I change the color of active windows in the task list(in the .gtkrc-2.0 file)?
[00:34] <joshjtl> are there any nice "tours"  of Ubuntu for windows users? I'd like to have something for my parents to flip through to get a little more aquainted with Ubuntu, and how to do their normal Windows in Ubuntu
[00:34] <FluxD> tyrosine2, yea, and I cannot right click, sam e also when I start nautlus cant click anything inside
[00:34] <CarlFK> nickrud - but man apt-get says (any configuration files are deleted too).... huh.
[00:34] <tyrosine2> jove: totally.  Using the "mv" tool, you can convert anything to anything!
[00:35] <nickrud_> CarlFK, ah, the db already exists so the installer uses the existing root password
[00:35] <joshjtl> someone answered this well for me, but I can't find the response and forgot what they said
[00:35] <tyrosine2> FluxD: are you sure your mouse isn't broken :-p
[00:35] <durt> jove: what is a TOAST file?
[00:35] <centaur5> If you use the new tool to create a USB live boot disk is there a way to make it keep drivers installed (ie ATI, Broadcom) after reboot?
[00:35] <FluxD> tyrosine2, no its not broken
[00:35] <nickrud_> CarlFK, the password isn't in the configuration stuff , but in the db. If you told it to delete the db, then you would get asked for the root password
[00:35] <tyrosine2> joshjtl: it was me, and the ubuntu docs page has a transition page just for windows users
[00:35] <CarlFK> nickrud - yeah - any clue how to toast it?
[00:36] <nickrud_> CarlFK, doesn't it ask you if you want to keep the db or not when you purge?
[00:36] <Kai_Itaho> how do i install a monitor on 8.04.2 Hardy?
[00:36] <tyrosine2> Kai_Itaho: plug it in the VGA port
[00:36] <CarlFK> nickrud nope
[00:36] <jove> tyrosine2, I read in the internet that must convert to a raw file ....Have U done this specific .toast convert to ISO before ?
[00:36] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/119878/
[00:36] <tyrosine2> jove: that was a joke.  "mv" just renames the file ;-)
[00:36] <Kai_Itaho> it doesnt pick up when i plug it in
[00:36] <joshjtl> thanks tyrosine2 where can I find that page... /usr/docs ?
[00:36] <nickrud_> CarlFK, sudo rm -r /var/lib/mysql from memory, I don't have a mysql install in this vm
[00:36] <Kai_Itaho> WOAH
[00:36] <Kai_Itaho> never mind
[00:37] <Kai_Itaho> hahahaha that was a stupid question
[00:37] <jove> tyrosine2, then i won't work as your guidance
[00:37] <Kai_Itaho> yay
[00:37] <djamel> CarlFK, rename the .toast in .iso & burn it that's all
[00:37] <fo> windows computer playing this dvd with no problem. in vlc. same program i'm using in ubuntu. why
[00:37] <Kai_Itaho> now, how do i change the resolution on my second monitor but keep the same on my laptop?
[00:38] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: did that link work for you?
[00:38] <tyrosine2> joshjtl: http://help.ubuntu.com - select 8.10 - and click "switching from windows" at the bottom
[00:38] <joshjtl> ohhh thanks tyrosine2
[00:38] <Kai_Itaho> Tyrosine...is your name an amino acid o.O?
[00:38] <nickrud_> jdmnynja,   gksu gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/rhythmbox.prerm,  add a line after set -e  and put   exit 0  there. Then save and exit, rerun the apt-get purge rhythmbox . We'll just ignore removing that since it's not there. I assume you deleted it by hand?
[00:38] <shoterboyx> guys....my linux have no sound
[00:38] <shoterboyx> how can i fix this
[00:38] <fo> yes, tyrosine is one of the twenty essential amino acids!
[00:38] <shoterboyx> i m using realtek conexant
[00:38] <tyrosine2> joshjtl: youtube works really well for that, surprisingly
[00:38] <fo> it is also aromatic
[00:38] <jegomez> tyrosine2: windows formatted it as a 2MB drive, it couldn't see past that
[00:39] <Fiftyone> hello im trying to copy a file from an old mac hard disk i have but there are premission peoblems which wont even let me view the files. I tried  sudo cp -f to a local dir but it keeps saying obiting 'FILE NAME IM TRYING TO COPY' any ideas how i can access these files?
[00:39] <tyrosine2> fo: there are 22 now ;-)
[00:39] <Kai_Itaho> thats what i thought! haha!
[00:39] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: i never touched rhythmbox. that error has been there since i installed ubuntu.
[00:39] <fo> whateva
[00:39] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, that's verrry odd.
[00:39] <tyrosine2> fo: selenocysteine is #21
[00:39] <Kai_Itaho> well 22 important ones for the growth of humans
[00:39] <Kai_Itaho> arent there MILLIONS others?
[00:39] <tyrosine2> it was a new discovery a few years ago
[00:39] <fo> i only had to learn 20 for biochem
[00:39] <tyrosine2> yeah, but we can make them ourselves.
[00:39] <tyrosine2> essential = needed from food
[00:39] <Kai_Itaho> i c
[00:39] <joshjtl> can themes(gtk, metacity, icons) make a difference on a systems speed?
[00:39] <cizorty> which one the baseball players use?
[00:40] <tyrosine2> crack rocks
[00:40] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, I'd bee leary of that install myself, if you truly haven't deleted those files under /usr
[00:40] <shoterboyx> hey guys how can i fix my audio.....my linux have no sound....i m using realtek conexant
[00:40] <tyrosine2> jegomez: ever consider that your USB drive is actually only 2mb?
[00:40] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: i know. it started when I first installed and started updated my system. it keeps popping up and error related to rhythmbox and is not allowing me to run flash
[00:40] <Kai_Itaho> Tyr, is there a way i can change the resolution on my monitor?
[00:40] <Sal__> anyone have any clue how much bandwidth the vnc server actually eats up with the default settings?
[00:40] <nickrud_> joshjtl, gtk can. Different themes use different theme engines, and some take a lot more processing power
[00:40] <shoterboyx> hey guys how can i fix my audio.....my linux have no sound....i m using realtek conexant
[00:40] <Kai_Itaho> it doesnt go above 1280x800
[00:40] <tyrosine2> tyrosine2: with ubuntu? system -> prefs -> screen resolution
[00:41] <Sal__> say @ a res of 1024x768
[00:41] <jegomez> tyrosine2: heh, I almost did. It does say "2GB" on it, though...
[00:41] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: other than that error, nothing is running bad at all. I read this article http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-562594.html and it seems there is others with this issue.
[00:41] <shoterboyx> anybody can help me ??
[00:41] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, it won't let you install anything. Anyway, that command will fix apt for you
[00:41] <Kai_Itaho> i want 1680x1050 but that's not a choice :S
[00:41] <tyrosine2> jegomez: it was probably made in mexico then.  they count memory size in pesos.  It's 2 gigapesos.
[00:41] <Kai_Itaho> LOL
[00:41] <esworp> I've recently installed ubuntu (first time user) on my OLPC, and am having a few quirks i could use some help on..
[00:41] <mariano> hi
[00:42] <Fiftyone> hello im trying to copy a file from an old mac hard disk i have but there are premission peoblems which wont even let me view the files. I tried  sudo cp -f to a local dir but it keeps saying obiting 'FILE NAME IM TRYING TO COPY' any ideas how i can access these files?
[00:42] <Sal__> anyone?
[00:42] <mariano> is anyone reading me?
[00:42] <jegomez> tyrosine2: I doubt it would have made it this far. 2MB drives were probably made back in the 80s
[00:42] <Kai_Itaho> hello! Welcome to #ubuntu help IRC chat
[00:42] <esworp> would someone mind  giving me a hand?
[00:42] <tyrosine2> Sal__: maybe your VIDEO CARD doesn't support higher resolutions?
[00:42] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: hey im not really understanding your command to put in. what do i do again?
[00:42] <nickrud_> jdmnynja,   gksu gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/rhythmbox.prerm,  add a line after set -e  and put   exit 0  there. Then save and exit, rerun the apt-get purge rhythmbox . We'll just ignore removing that since it's not there. I assume you deleted it by hand?
[00:42] <Sal__> tyro my question is how much bandwidth is eating up?
[00:42] <shoterboyx> hey guys how can i fix my audio.....my linux have no sound....i m using realtek conexant
[00:42] <Sal__> im trying to connect to my dedicated server
[00:42] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: i'm still pretty new with the terminal stuff.
[00:42] <evilGUI> Hello I have a problem after relocking the root account on my server I get a lot of these in /var/log/auth.log CRON[13880]: pam_unix(cron:account): account root has expired (account expired)
[00:42] <Sal__> which has the server on it
[00:42] <durt> !ask | esworp
[00:42] <tyrosine2> Sal__: are you in orlando?
[00:42] <Sal__> i want to know how much bandwidth its going to eat up @ 1024 x 768 res
[00:43] <Sal__> no
[00:43] <jeeves> is there a native Ubuntu app like M$ $?  Or has Wine been able to run it properly?
[00:43] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: what do you mean add a line after set -e?
[00:43] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, the only thing you will be typing into the terminal is the gksu gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/rhythmbox.prerm
[00:43] <tyrosine2> Sal__: just run "top" in a console and see what X is taking up
[00:43] <esworp> thanks durf.
[00:43] <shoterboyx> hey guys how can i fix my audio.....my linux have no sound....i m using realtek conexant
[00:43] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, let me know when you've run that command in the terminal, then we'll work on where that command goes
[00:43] <scientes> im using apt-cacher, but some of the ubuntu package names clash with the debian package names
[00:43] <scientes> how can i make this not happen?
[00:43] <glenrock> jeeves: you could check out gnucash and see if you like it
[00:43] <Kai_Itaho> Tyr, Screen Resolution only gives me at a max of 1280x1024
[00:43] <stealthy45> Titan8990: Still around
[00:44] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, erm, first command gksu gedit ...  , second is editing the file to include the edit 0
[00:44] <stealthy45> Hello, I need help getting the 1280x1024 resolution to work. It's my LCD's native resolution but absolutely refuses to work even using xrandr and custom modelines.
[00:44] <jeeves> glenrock, I did, I'm not really a fan.  as much as I want to get away from microsoft, I still like the usability of it (and I'd prefer not to have my accountant relearn everything)
[00:44] <Marfi> What video card, stealthy45 ?
[00:44] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: i have the command in and i am now in a window with blue text, looks like html or something.
[00:44] <houlaa> hello
[00:44] <Marfi> Hola houlaa
[00:45] <houlaa> ola
[00:45] <houlaa> what's up
[00:45] <Marfi> houlaa, the sky here. How bout you? =)
[00:45] <joshjtl> nickrud what about icon themes?
[00:45] <chort27> hi
[00:45] <stealthy45> Marfi: nvidia geforce 7950gt
[00:45] <stealthy45> using the 180 driver
[00:45] <chort27> can someone help me with installing ubuntu 6.10 on my iBook G3?
[00:45] <Marfi> stealthy45, is that the recommended one?
[00:45] <houlaa> houaw it's wired i am sorry to say that but im newbi on irc
[00:46] <jove> #/ebuntu
[00:46] <houlaa> haha
[00:46] <Kai_Itaho> chort, thats alittle bit hard to help you.......
[00:46] <jove> #ebuntu
[00:46] <cizorty> what's a good command to compromise my system?
[00:46] <jove> #ubuntu
[00:46] <stealthy45> Marfi: I believe so
[00:46] <esworp> ummm..   so.  ok here's one, this OLPC install was a prebuilt image (google olpc ubuntu if you're curious)  with one user "olpc'.   I wanted to add other users, since i have roommates, etc.     (using xfce) i went to system -> users & groups and was met by a message 'The configuration coud not be loaded, you are not allowed to access the system configuation [close]"
[00:46] <Kai_Itaho> jove: what are you doing?
[00:46] <durt> chort27: 6.10 is no longer supported
[00:46] <chort27> Well I just want to know how to install it as my main operating system
[00:46] <Kai_Itaho> what are you running now?
[00:46] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, you should see, on the second line,   set -e
[00:46] <esworp> this problem occurs with System ->  shared folders, too.
[00:46] <durt> is there even a 6.10?
[00:46] <chort27> Mac OS X
[00:46] <Titan8990> stealthy45, still around but I am in class ATM
[00:47] <houlaa> can somewhone can just tell me how to get some help?
[00:47] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: yes.
[00:47] <Kai_Itaho> hmm
[00:47] <Kai_Itaho> use 8.04.2
[00:47] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, add a blank line below that, and  type   exit 0  on it
[00:47] <Kai_Itaho> chort: its the best supported one out here
[00:47] <chort27> i tried using 8.04
[00:47] <houlaa> in order to know commands
[00:47] <stealthy45> Marfi: it's a samsung syncmaster if that makes any difference
[00:47] <chort27> but it yelled at me about not having a supported CD-ROM drive
[00:47] <chort27> plus im afraid my specs aren't good enough
[00:47] <Kai_Itaho> then yell back?
[00:47] <jove> Hi, does anyone know how to convert TOAST file to ISO file ?
[00:47] <chort27> tried that, but then it gave me a kernel error
[00:48] <Kai_Itaho> netbooks USE 8.04
[00:48] <nT4BR> o galera
[00:48] <stealthy45> I know that the xorg logs are showing that it can't get anything from edid and that it can't fin a valid mode for 1280x1024 despit my modeline
[00:48] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: done.
[00:48] <nT4BR> to com um probleminha aki, instalei o postgre porem nunca usei ele antes, eu naum sei qual o usuario e senha que eu uso no psql -U
[00:48] <nT4BR> ele foi instalado via apt-get
[00:48] <Marfi> stealthy45, does the 3d acceleration work for the card? The drivers may not be working completely. You can do glxgears from the terminal to check
[00:48] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, ok, what we've done here is tell this script to exit when it gets to this line. If you look below it, you'll see the commands that fail. We're simply not going to run them.
[00:49] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, now, save and close the text editor
[00:49] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: all right.
[00:49] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, now run   sudo apt-get purge rhythmbox
[00:49] <stealthy45> Marfi: Yes, 3d accel works fin
[00:50] <nT4BR> ops sry, i dont see, this is one english chanel ;?
[00:50] <Marfi> stealthy45, What does the modeline look like?
[00:50] <Jack_Sparrow> !br > nT4BR
[00:50] <Jack_Sparrow> correct
[00:50] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: all right. it ran through and after ldconfig deferred processing now taking place it stopped
[00:50] <Voltron_> does anyone else running a Compaq V6000 series have REALLY slow network performance?
[00:50] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, try installing flash now
[00:50] <tuxflavrdwafls> Does anyone know a terminal command to make sure compiz, and compiz fusion are completely up to date?
[00:50] <nT4BR> sry
[00:51]  * Marfi waves to Jack_Sparrow 
[00:51] <jdmnynja> would the command be sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree?
[00:51] <glenrock> tuxflavrdwafls: 'sudo apt-get update' will make sure all packages are up to date
[00:51] <stealthy45> Marfi: one moment
[00:51] <chort27> wish my G3 had wifi XD
[00:51] <Marfi> stealthy45, mmkay
[00:51] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree  will do it from the command line
[00:52] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: it says that it is already the newest version. but i cannot run youtube videos
[00:52] <tuxflavrdwafls> glenrock thankyou
[00:52] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, ah, that's a different problem then. But at least apt is fixed :)
[00:53] <nT4BR> hey i need help, what is the default user in postgre instaled via apt-get?
[00:53] <houlaa> ?
[00:53] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, before we move on to flash, we should doublecheck that rhythmbox won't be an issue in the future
[00:53] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: lol all right how do i go about this?
[00:54] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/rhythmbox*  , if it says file not found that's fine
[00:54] <esworp> I am having trouble with not being able to run the Users and Groups pp in xfce.. anyone care to help?  ;]
[00:54] <raylu> nickrud_: aptitude clean might be easier
[00:54] <nickrud_> raylu, I hate removing all the debs; I have a verrrry large cache including old debs
[00:54] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: it says no such file.
[00:54] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, ok,  sudo apt-get install rhythmbox
[00:55] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: do i need rhythmbox for youtube?
[00:55] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: i have heard it is crap and i installed amarok
[00:55] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, no, and amarok sucks also :) I use banshee ;)
[00:55] <houlaa> Do you know why "/help" doesn't work
[00:56] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: all right then, lets just not use rhythmbox then and  I will use banshee. lets get youtube fixed up lol
[00:56] <DigitalKiwi> what are all these +e -e?
[00:56] <raylu> houlaa: in irssi? check your status window
[00:56] <Marfi> houlaa, are you trying to run help on a command? Sorry the PM didn't work. ;)
[00:56] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, can you see any flash video at all? http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507 is a good test
[00:56] <houlaa> yes in irssi
[00:57] <ugliefrog> My mouse after a few minutes acts like it goes to sleep you have to shake it and clik a bunch to get it to quit. Is there a setting to fix that
[00:57] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: i see a big grey screen with a play button in the middle.
[00:57] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, I'm going to be gone shortly, so hopefully this will be quick
[00:57] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: it doesn't play a video.
[00:57] <nickrud_> ok, this test simply reports the version you're running.
[00:58] <houlaa> i have: [ my name ] [ my 2und channel(+JLfnt) ] [Act: 1,3] <-- What does it mean ?
[00:58] <Marfi> stealthy45, there are a few posts on google. The one that I remember doing is to explicitly set xorg.conf to use the 1280x1024. You could also look up the specs for the monitor, and make a modeline like that
[00:58] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, did you try installing flash in any other way, besides using ubuntu repositories?
[00:58] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: all right i am running WIN 9,0,999,9 debug player: no
[00:58] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: i believe i did try to install it from the browser.
[00:58] <rww> houlaa: New stuff happened in windows 1 and 3. You can switch to those windows with Alt-1 and Alt-3.
[00:59] <nickrud_> ah, that is very strange. WIN? Should be LNX
[00:59] <MEESO_THELIOMA> Do you have Asbestos Poisoning?
[00:59] <MEESO_THELIOMA>  Meeso Thelioma
[00:59] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: i know, thats what i was thinking. maybe i can purge it and then reinstall?
[00:59] <houlaa> rww, it doesn't work
[00:59] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: i am also running 64 bit so that may change things up
[00:59] <rww> houlaa: are you running gnome-terminal with more than one tab open? that tends to screw it up.
[00:59] <Kai_Itaho> how do i install a nvidia driver? i downloaded it but i dont know how to run/install it?
[01:00] <houlaa> nop
[01:00] <Marfi> Kai_Itaho, use the restricted driver's manager. System > admin > hardware drivers
[01:00] <houlaa> rww, i am using yakuake
[01:00] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, no, those are two different places to install from. try looking in ~/.mozilla/plugins ; I'm not sure where the browser way installs. And, 64 bit I'm not sure about.
[01:00] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, to be honest, you're probably better off finding someone who knows what they're talking about when it comes to flash :)
[01:00] <Kai_Itaho> what if i want to use the one i downloaded?
[01:00] <houlaa> rww, but it's the same i think
[01:01] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: all right man. i'll ask around. thanks for your help on the rhythmbox crap though!
[01:01] <fo> windows computer playing this dvd with no problem. in vlc. same program i'm using in ubuntu. why does it fail in ubuntu
[01:02] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, one more thing before we go:  run   sudo apt-get -f install ; if there're no errors that's good. Just a final check of our work
[01:02] <e3co> fo: you need to enable dvd playback... info on ubuntu forums and google
[01:02] <rww> !dvd | fo
[01:02] <houlaa> rww, ALRIGHT !!! i am using eee pc press shift 'n tab and it's oka
[01:02] <ugliefrog> My opitcal usb mouse after a few minutes acts like it goes to sleep you have to shake it and clik a bunch to get it to start working normally. Is there a setting to fix that
[01:02] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: everything is good.
[01:02] <fo> e3co, rww i did the things medibuntu told me to do. is this the samething?
[01:02] <e3co> why no free dvd play codec for the open source world?
[01:03] <Kai_Itaho> how do i install a driver that is a .run file ? NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.29-pkg2.run
[01:03] <nickrud_> jdmnynja, ok, take care then and good luck with flash
[01:03] <BCampbell> jdmnynja:: have you rad the forum on 64bit and flash?  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=772490
[01:03] <jdmnynja> nickrud_: thanks!
[01:03] <e3co> can I send a PM from the text box?
[01:03] <jdmnynja> BCampbell: i'll go read it.
[01:03] <e3co> using pidgin
[01:03] <rww> Kai_Itaho: Don't use the Nvidia driver from nvidias website. Use the restricted driver manager instead.
[01:03] <mereo> so... is anyone using ubuntu 64 bit?
[01:03] <rww> e3co: /msg username message
[01:03] <rww> !anyone | mereo
[01:04] <BCampbell> funny thing is, i can see flash vids on most sites other than youtube, and I'm a 64bit too...very strange

[01:06] <StR|Sangreal> pls can you advise me supposedly the most accurate substitute to total commander?
[01:06] <funkyHat> I'd like to set my console resolution to 1680x1050 (my monitor's native res), I have an ATi radeon x1650 and I'm currently using the fglrx driver for X
[01:06] <Surautomatism> can somebody help with the ubuntu studio install?
[01:06] <funkyHat> Is that possible? Or at least setting a higher res like 1280x1024

[01:07] <Surautomatism> i'm at the part where there are 4 components it asks to install (not a gui installer) and i want to check each box... but if i press enter it moves to the next step. what button do i use?
[01:07] <Marfi> stealthy45, =)
[01:08] <rww> Surautomatism: probably tab to each one then press space. I haven't installed Ubuntu Studio, though, so I might be wrong.

[01:09] <whileimhere> Hi Is there a recommended partition size for the / directory when installing ubuntu?
[01:09] <Marfi> stealthy45, I don't know if this makes a difference, but try to do 1280x1024@60
[01:09] <austin> how do i set my mic for audacity?
[01:10] <Marfi> whileimhere, As big as you can fit
[01:10] <Marfi> austin, can the computer see the mic?
[01:10] <StR|Sangreal> so... some total commander substitute for me?
[01:10] <austin> Marfi: how do i know if it can?
[01:10] <whileimhere> Marfi I have a 40 gig drive that is all
[01:10] <rww> whileimhere: As much space as you feel like dedicating to it, with a recommendation that you use more than 8GB.
[01:10] <Marfi> whileimhere, that will work
[01:11] <whileimhere> but I was hoping to partition it so that I have a swap, /, and a /home
[01:11] <Marfi> austin, Try using soundrecorder to record the sound. You could also check your sound properties, and turn the volume of the mic up
[01:11] <StephenZ> Aloha. Anyone know a quick link that actually makes sense to the uninitiated on how to change file permissions?
[01:11] <Marfi> whileimhere, Ubuntu will automatically do that for you
[01:11] <stealthy45> Marfi: Still "No valid modes for "1280x1024"; removing.

[01:12] <StephenZ> Thank you, Marfi.
[01:12] <austin> Marfi: and it just dissapeared
[01:12] <Marfi> stealthy45, np
[01:12] <kamyk> i have switch asus GX1008B/G and wer is configuration ? i want somting like 192.158.1.1 ?
[01:12] <whileimhere> ahh I guess I just will buy an external drive for back up then in case I have to re-image this machine.
[01:13] <fearful> prince_jammys, you there?
[01:13] <Marfi> austin, do you have sound on the computer?
[01:13] <savvas> fo: what disc?
[01:13] <mereo> For those who tried the 64 bit, have you seen any difference with the 32 bit?
[01:13] <rww> mereo: no
[01:14] <nightrid3r> kamyk if its a swith i dout it can be configured, if its a router then use the default gateway adress as the adress to configure
[01:14] <austin> Marfi: yes, i'm listing to music now as we speak
[01:14] <stealthy45> Marfi: I'm pretty clueless as to where to go from here
[01:14] <Marfi> stealthy45, what is the model of the monitor?
[01:14] <savvas> mereo: 32-bit has better stability with flash, java plugin and other 32-bit programs - but other than that.. it's all good
[01:14] <mereo> marfi, what are you trying to do, sorry, just joined the chat, I too had a resolution problem
[01:15] <kamyk> nigtrider: i have switch
[01:16] <nightrid3r> kamyk home use switches don't need config, they just work
[01:16] <savvas> mereo: plus, the fact that adobe has 64-bit flash now has changed a lot of stuff - even though it's alpha/beta stage, it's really stable: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
[01:16] <Marfi> austin, for Ubuntu, you double click on the sound in the desk tray, then hit prefferences
[01:16] <hajmola> my built-in mic on my laptop sounds extremely distorted, to the point where you can't even understand what i'm saying (in voice chats), anyone know why that would be?
[01:16] <Marfi> austin, and you modify the volume there
[01:16] <kamyk> ok but not my
[01:16] <Marfi> mereo, trying to help stealthy45 with his video driver
[01:16] <nightrid3r> kamyk lemme check
[01:16] <stealthy45> Marfi: Samsung SyncMaster 916V
[01:16] <mereo> savvas, interesting. But I'm already on the the 32 bit version... I guess I'll install the 64 bit at the next realease
[01:17] <mereo> Marfi, ah ok, he can't get a certain resolution?
[01:17] <kamyk> ?
[01:17] <Marfi> mereo, right
[01:17] <ElCapitan> dumb question but how do I know what drive is being used for my video card?
[01:17] <mereo> Marfi, I had that problem
[01:18] <Marfi> mereo, what type of monitor?
[01:18] <jdmnynja> how do I find where my mozilla is so I can extract a file to the plug ins?
[01:18] <nightrid3r> kamyk its an unmanaged switch so no config is needed
[01:18] <stealthy45> holy dog**** I think I got it
[01:18] <austin> marfi: alright, got it set, but still won't recrod
[01:18] <savvas> ElCapitan: sudo lshw -C display
[01:18] <Marfi> austin, is it picking up the sound?
[01:18] <mereo> Marfi, It's a CRT monitor, I couldn't get it to accept my custom 72 HZ refresh rate
[01:19] <austin> no
[01:19] <nightrid3r> kamyk maybe you have another box that's a ROUTER, that one can be configured
[01:19] <beobab> Is there a collecton of text tools for converting between ODT and Office formats?
[01:19] <stealthy45> Marfi, finally got it; had to manually specify horiz and vert frequencies in xorg.conf
[01:19] <austin> marfi: no, its not
[01:19] <stealthy45> I'll live with the 50hz refresh rate
[01:19] <Marfi> stealthy45, alright. I am only getting 250 hits on google for your monitor. =)
[01:19] <savvas> beobab: you mean .odt and .doc ?
[01:19] <Marfi> austin, try to turn the volume for the mic up
[01:19] <mereo> Stealthy45, It's an LCD?
[01:19] <FrankT-Qc> Hi !
[01:19] <fearful> Any idea why my swap is never in use on xfce
[01:19] <austin> marfi: i did
[01:20] <stealthy45> Marfi: heh
[01:20] <stealthy45> mereo: yes
[01:20] <Marfi> austin, is it plugged into the right spot?
[01:20] <beobab> savvas: Yeah, those two in particular. Koffice2 doesn't have filters for any Office formats. ;\
[01:20] <mereo> Stealthy45, Don't worry about 50 hz, ubuntu got it wrong
[01:20] <stealthy45> mmk
[01:20] <austin> marfi: yup, just checked
[01:20] <FrankT-Qc> Need a little help about the repos, anybody ???
[01:20] <Marfi> austin, what type of sound card?
[01:21] <fearful> No swap usage on xfce any ideas?
[01:21] <austin> marfi: onboard sound
[01:21] <hlm> is there a graphical form of iptables?
[01:21] <mereo> Stealthy, I have a CRT and ubuntu is showing 50 hz, even tho I'm running it at 72 hz
[01:21] <Marfi> austin, what type of sound card?
[01:21] <mereo> Stealthy45, I have a CRT and ubuntu is showing 50 hz, even tho I'm running it at 72 hz
[01:21] <Marfi> austin, whos the company that makes it
[01:21] <FrankT-Qc> hlm : Isn't firestarter an easy one ?
[01:21] <rww> !firewall | hlm
[01:21] <austin> marfi: its, Gigabite
[01:21] <Marfi> fearful, you can use the ram for swap
[01:21] <austin> marfi: a gigabite mobo, but thats all i know
[01:22] <savvas> beobab: ah koffice.. no idea :) in openoffice word, I just head to File > Save as and have the options there
[01:22] <Marfi> austin, when your in the prefferences for the sound...what is the type of device? It should tell you
[01:22] <allquixotic> Hi, I just recovered my server (over ssh) from a horrible failure: it was starting NetworkManager, which trampled on its static IP configuration. I only had a few seconds in the shell each boot, so I ran some diagnostics and rm'ed the NetworkManager binary. Now: How can I absolutely forbid the network-manager package from ever being installed again on the server?
[01:22] <fearful> Marfi: I know, but usually in gnome I'm using RAM and swap on xfce not using any swap is at 0%
[01:22] <nightrid3r> kamyk ?
[01:22] <mun> can head be used to print the nth line?
[01:22] <austin> marfi: HDA ATI HDMI | HDA INtel
[01:22] <th__> how do i know whats name of my box
[01:22] <fearful> Marfi, just wondering if its working or not
[01:23] <Flux_teh_Fox> $HOSTNAME
[01:23] <Marfi> fearful, swapping in ram? I used it on my Eee PC
[01:23] <DigitalKiwi> allquixotic: that is not the first catastrophic bug I've heard of networkmanager and ubuntu XD
[01:23] <Flux_teh_Fox> th__:echo $HOSTNAME"
[01:23] <DigitalKiwi> iirc, the other one was basically ignored, too :/
[01:23] <Marfi> austin, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto   tons of stuff on google for hda intel sound
[01:23] <Marfi> austin, that link should hlep you
[01:23] <fearful> Marfi, well in Gnome I open the system monitor and RAM was at 25% and swap at 9%, and on xfce RAM is at 30% and swap 0%
[01:23] <savvas> allquixotic: sudo aptitude purge network-manager; sudo aptitude forbid-version network-manager
[01:24] <allquixotic> savvas: Thanks :)
[01:24] <Arch_NME> hello, I need to know how to get permission to save the changes I have made to my etc/fstab file? Can anyone help me with this?
[01:24] <Kai_Itaho> okay, for some odd reason my monitor won't work on ubuntu again
[01:24] <Kai_Itaho> it did work like 10minutes ago
[01:24] <Flux_teh_Fox> you have to be root
[01:24] <Marfi> fearful, xfce could be using the ram instead of the swap, is what it seems like
[01:24] <Arch_NME> how to I be root?
[01:24] <rww> Arch_NME: sudo nano /etc/fstab or gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[01:24] <savvas> allquixotic: if that doesn't work, use Synaptic, select your package, and from the menu Package > Lock version - it "pins" the version and doesn't allow it to show newer ones
[01:24] <fearful> Arch_NME, open with sudo
[01:24] <Meshezabeel> When I open up the CD/DVD Creator folder (built into Nautilus) I now get two differerent buttons that say "Write to Disc". Is anyone else having this problem?
[01:25] <Arch_NME> ok thank you
[01:25] <stealthy45> Marfi: Now for my soundblaster audigy 2 value...
[01:25] <fearful> Arch_NME, sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[01:25] <e3co> savvas:  thats a badass command thanks from me too
[01:25] <austin> mafri: i don't know what anyof this means...i'm a new to ubuntu
[01:25] <fearful> Marfi, ok, just thought it would be a bit wierd
[01:25] <FrankT-Qc> Hello again : Anybody here implied in repos management ?
[01:25] <savvas> e3co: np :) but read the Synaptic alternative, it forbid-version might not work as expected heh
[01:26] <ibuclaw> mun, you can do, but it is easier to just use sed or awk instead
[01:26] <Fiftyone> e3co iwhat bad ass command i love bad aas commands
[01:26] <rww> !anyone | FrankT-Qc
[01:26] <e3co> sudo aptitude purge network-manager; sudo aptitude forbid-version network-manager
[01:26] <mun> ibuclaw: ok thanks
[01:26] <rww> fearful: That should be gksudo gedit, not sudo gedit.
[01:26] <e3co> just the forbid-version part
[01:26] <plazia> stealthy45, be thankful you don't have an x-fi :)
[01:26] <mun> ibuclaw: i think i'll use head -n $n | tail -1 instead though
[01:26] <rww> !gksudo | fearful
[01:26] <ibuclaw> mun,   sed '123q;d'
[01:27] <ibuclaw> mun, where 123 is the line number
[01:27] <DigitalKiwi> oh cool I never knew about gksudo
[01:27] <mun> ibuclaw: ah okay. thanks for that
[01:27] <FrankT-Qc> There's been an important security update in vsftpd and I was wondering if I could raise a flag to someone so it makes it to the repos as fast as possible. Any idea to whom I should talk ?
[01:27] <fearful> rww: Ok sorry bout that, gksudo then Arch_NME.
[01:27] <e3co> gksudo is the kung-foo of xorg
[01:27] <Kai_Itaho> how do I switch monitors in ubuntu?
[01:27] <Fiftyone> always wondered what the difference was
[01:27] <Raylz> do attachements get encrypted in evolution when encrypting a mail with pgp?
[01:28] <fearful> Same here, guess now I know
[01:28] <e3co> system/preferences/screen resolution
[01:28] <e3co> to change monitors
[01:28] <hlm> I need help: transmission says port 44966 is closed, but my router has the proper port forwarded, and I dont know how to use firestarter..
[01:29] <FrankT-Qc> Kai_Itaho : what driver are you using ?
[01:29] <Kai_Itaho> the restricted Nvidia driver
[01:29] <austin> alright, new question then
[01:29] <Kai_Itaho> nvidia accelerated graphics card driver
[01:29] <FrankT-Qc> then you should have a nvidia control center... If preferences/resolution doesn't work, try you nvidia thing
[01:29] <austin> how do i go about pointing gPodder to my ipod?
[01:29] <rww> FrankT-Qc: Try asking in #ubuntu-devel
[01:29] <Kai_Itaho> found in my restricted drivers
[01:29] <infomomo> Hey guys, Ubuntu 8.10, MP3 player = iRiver T30 here is my System Log output

[01:29] <infomomo> How to access it ?

[01:29] <FloodBot1> infomomo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:30] <e3co> forward I mean
[01:30] <Kai_Itaho> where can I find this nvidia thing?
[01:30] <hlm> e3co, yes I always do that
[01:30] <zer0o> hi guys, ive noticed that doin a search with skype (same parameters) come up with different results when on kubuntu or windows, basically on win it finds hundreds ppl according to the search u've done, on ubuntu it only finds a small amount of ppl and if u look for "girls" in general, only hookers... and thatz really annoying... have u noticed the same? is there something we could do to prevent "naughty results" on our searches?
[01:30] <savvas> Kai_Itaho: which nvidia thing?
[01:30] <Meshezabeel> Here is an image of the problem I'm having with Ubuntu's CD/DVD Creator: http://imagebin.org/38725
[01:30] <Kai_Itaho> a nvidia control center for ubuntu
[01:30] <e3co> Hey people is there a way to restart iptables with a reboot?
[01:30] <FrankT-Qc> Well, if it's install, it's under system/preferences (or I'm wrong and it's under system/administration...)
[01:30] <savvas> Kai_Itaho: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers
[01:30] <e3co> without
[01:30] <FrankT-Qc> if not, give me a sec, i'm checking
[01:30] <rww> !bug | Meshezabeel
[01:31] <hlm> I need help: transmission says port 44966 is closed, but my router has the proper port forwarded, and I dont know how to use firestarter..
[01:31] <e3co> man firestarter
[01:31] <rww> hlm: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[01:31] <Travis-42> my user is part of a unix group.  When I'm in a folder that has that group set, is there any way to make new folders and files automatically have that group as well?  right now they come out to travis:travis rather than travis:othergroup even though the base directory is otheruser:othergroup
[01:31] <savvas> Kai_Itaho: enable the drivers from there, then reboot. Then System > Administration > Synaptic, search for "nvidia-settings" and install that package. You can run it with: gksu nvidia-settings
[01:31] <e3co> its just like any other firewall, its just not really a firewall
[01:31] <hlm> rww, ubuntu 8.10 intrepid x86
[01:32] <hlm> rww, its desktop not server
[01:32] <e3co> later people... going to the store...
[01:32] <hlm> e3co, cya ltr
[01:32] <Kai_Itaho> I can't find this so called Nvidia Control Center
[01:32] <rww> hlm: Try ufw (command-line) or gufw (GNOME graphical) instead. They're much easier to use and less buggy than firestarter.
[01:32] <savvas> hlm: did you restart your router?
[01:32] <Kai_Itaho> what was strange was i was able to use the monitor today
[01:32] <e3co> yeah thats a good one..
[01:32] <e3co> later
[01:32] <Kai_Itaho> all rww said was plug in the VGA port
[01:33] <Kai_Itaho> I did.. and it worked? O_O?
[01:33] <jdmnynja> Could anyone please help me on getting youtube videos to work without freezing my browser?
[01:33] <Kai_Itaho> now its plugged in after a reboot
[01:33] <hlm> savvas, why would I need to do that? it forwards ports fine without a restart any other time
[01:33] <Kai_Itaho> and it doesn't work
[01:33] <stealthy45> Now, would anyone help ith another agitating issue? I have no sound. alsamixer says No mixer elems found; aplay -l says no soundcards found
[01:33] <rww> !enter | Kai_Itaho
[01:33] <stealthy45> lspci shows it; Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB0400 Audigy2 Value
[01:34] <Kruug> I have some display questions
[01:34] <savvas> hlm: may I ask how do you know that it's open since the program you wish to use says it's closed?
[01:34] <Kai_Itaho> my apologies, I tend to type as if I am out of breath haha XD
[01:34] <nightrid3r> !ask | Kruug
[01:34] <hlm> savvas, I can still download and upload with plenty of connections
[01:34] <savvas> hlm: In my opinion, if you don't know how to use firestarter, there's not much of a point to have it installed - if you don't have a server there, you don't really need it :)
[01:35] <FrankT-Qc> Kai_Itaho : Have you got "NVidia X Server Setup" installed ?
[01:35] <hlm> savvas, I also know from experience of having to open ports
[01:35] <savvas> hlm: from the same port?
[01:35] <savvas> ah I see
[01:35] <CheesyWeasel> Ok, in gedit, is there a way to replace more than one item at a time. Like, let's say I want to replace all numbers with " NUMBER ". Do I have to go through individually, or is there some cool syntax trick that I don't know?
[01:35] <Kai_Itaho> no I do not
[01:35] <hlm> savvas, I run a miniserver on the box im forwarding my port for transmission on
[01:35] <Zzeiss> CheesyWeasel: I don't think so.  But it's easy in Perl or CRM114
[01:35] <Kruug> My issue is that I cannot turn on Visual Effects, and I was wondering if someone could help me get these working.  I would also like to have different background images on each desktop space, so any help there would be appreciated as well.

[01:36] <fearful> CheesyWeasel, on gedit press Ctrl + H or under Search look for replace.
[01:36] <jdmnynja> can anyone help me with getting flash and youtube to run on 64bit?
[01:36] <CheesyWeasel> fearful: *sigh* I know how to replace. Did you read the question?
[01:37] <Meshezabeel> rww: thanks, my main question was whether anyone else had this problem. It could be because I haven't done updates for about 2 weeks and won't be able to until next week once I get onto high speed Internet again.
[01:37] <fxhp> I lost networking after updating...
[01:37] <Kai_Itaho> Frank: SHOULD I? where can I find it?
[01:37] <savvas> hlm: you might have better results with ufw and gufw firewalls as rww suggested before
[01:37] <fxhp> ifconfig shows my statis ip
[01:37] <fearful> CheesyWeasel, sorry misread
[01:37] <hlm> savvas, I am installing them as I type..
[01:37] <hlm> rww, does gufw and/or ufw require super user access?
[01:37] <Kruug> how do I figure out my video card?
[01:37] <spirited> Hi is there a way to move file from windows into ubuntu without having to back those files up to a storage device?

[01:45] <peer`> right, so apparently 8.10 doesn't support my netbook's wireless (Asus EEE PC 1000HD, I don't know what chipset) out of the box. Does anybody know if there are pre-existing Linux drivers for whatever chipset it has or will I need to NDISwrapper it?
[01:45] <hlm> Sal__, I am unsure sorry :(
[01:46] <hlm> mudit, that will tell you whats happeneing on your internet
[01:46] <hlm> happening*
[01:46] <spirited> Daft_Punk: Ok where can I find documentation on how to do that?
[01:46] <merther> Meshezabeel:  Problem is that nothing had been changed.  It had been working and all the items are no longer in the network.  The windows workgroup isn't detected anymore either.
[01:46] <mudit> monit will server the purpose ?
[01:47] <Daft_Punk> since upgrading from hardy to intrepid ive had issues with my wireless being spotty when i use WPA or WPA2 encryption, but WEP works fine... also my torrent client no longer accepts the higher end ports and it wont recognize the port even if i forward it through the router
[01:47] <Meshezabeel> merther: something has to have changed, if not in the software, then the hardware.

[01:48] <Uplink> nightrid3r: ty
[01:48] <Dracey> Could anyone help me drbrick my Linksys via JTAg? :-$
[01:49] <ibuclaw> CheesyWeasel, srry for the delay. Just trying to work it out ;)
[01:49] <CheesyWeasel> ibuclaw: Same.
[01:49] <ibuclaw> CheesyWeasel, go into 'Tools->External Tools'

[01:50] <Sal__> can anyone tell me how to enable the ubuntu vnc server through the command line?
[01:50] <Sal__> i want the one that comes preinstalled
[01:51] <Sal__> not have to install another one ;l
[01:51] <mudit> what I want to do Is to view data that is being received over http, what application should I install ?
[01:51] <glenrock> Sal__: http://www.samlesher.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-704-enabledisable-remote-desktop-from-the-command-line/
[01:51] <ibuclaw> CheesyWeasel, and click 'New'
[01:51] <CheesyWeasel> ibuclaw: K.
[01:51] <ibuclaw> CheesyWeasel, here is an image of what I've done http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/3537/screenshotexternaltoolscs8.png

[01:52] <Sal__> the computer is not infront of me
[01:52] <Fiftyone> hi all i am trying to access an extern drive i took from an old mac i can mount and browse it fine but i cannot access some files how can i gain access to these files
[01:52] <ari_stress> !ipv6
[01:52] <ibuclaw> CheesyWeasel, are you familiar with how sed works ?
[01:52] <CheesyWeasel> ibuclaw: Awesome. Thanks.
[01:52] <glenrock> Sal__: gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled true
[01:52] <CheesyWeasel> ibuclaw: Enough to understand that command.
[01:52] <Sal__> yeah but with no pass blen ?
[01:52] <Sal__> glen*
[01:52] <ari_stress> guys, ipv6 can work in the current network, right? no need to replace switches, network card, etc?
[01:52] <ibuclaw> CheesyWeasel, the bit that caught me out was the "Input/Output" tabs :)
[01:52] <mudit> i want to view data that is being received over http, what application should I install ?
[01:52] <usrlocalbin> mudit: if you are looking for network traffic, you could install wireshark
[01:53] <glenrock> Sal__: are u using an SSH session right now?
[01:53] <nightrid3r> ari_stress yes np
[01:53] <ari_stress> thanks nightrid3r
[01:53] <bazz> so, if i've created a custom init.d script, and added the INIT INFO bit, is there a tool that will create/delete the rc*.d links for me
[01:53] <allquixotic> mudit: wireshark is a bit of a swiss army knife but among its many features is grabbing packets
[01:53] <wolter> hi
[01:53] <mudit> okies
[01:53] <Sal__> glen yes
[01:53] <ibuclaw> CheesyWeasel, once your done, it'll be listed under the Tools tab
[01:54] <nightrid3r> hi wolter
[01:54] <Fiftyone> hi all i am trying to access an external drive i took from an old mac i can mount and browse it fine but i cannot access some files how can i gain access to these files i tried sudo cp -r dir but it says premission denied also tried chown and chmod but that didnt work eather
[01:54] <glenrock> Sal__: if you enable x forwarding for the session you can launch vino-preferences
[01:54] <citorzy> was able to connect to ipv6.google.com without knowing whether my old equip supported it
[01:54] <glenrock> Sal__: ssh -X server
[01:54] <wolter> how can i make evolution add the contacts to my personal address book by putting them as Name Lastname <emailaddress@provider.com> ??
[01:54] <wolter> hi nightrid3r, haha, my sister and brother are impressed with the ftp thing, thanks!
[01:54] <Sal__> i dont follow
[01:55] <CheesyWeasel> ibuclaw: It's taking forever to execute on a very small document.
[01:55] <nightrid3r> wolter did you have a look at the ebox-platform?
[01:55] <wolter> nightrid3r, no, didn't have time...
[01:55] <lowlycoder> what ubuntu program can open cca files? (they're some type of multimedia file)
[01:55] <wolter> nightrid3r, what is it?
[01:55] <Fiftyone> if someone could help that would be aweaome
[01:55] <omnydevi> i just installed ubuntu 8.10. i installed samba and it seems to be working. on the ubuntu box i just made i have 2 other drives, each with a directory i want the share on. I did chown -R myself share but root wont let go of them. what am i doing wrong?
[01:55] <ari_stress> why it has to be "swiss" army knife, can't it be other countries? :)
[01:55] <nightrid3r> wolter the answer to your samba problem
[01:55] <wolter> Fiftyone, well, i supposed you are accessing a mac fs, but anyway, unix should be able to unlock it, i guess
[01:56] <wolter> Fiftyone, look for hdfs chown in google
[01:56] <wolter> nightrid3r, ah don't worry
[01:56] <wolter> nightrid3r, i am going to use ftp always
[01:56] <CheesyWeasel> ibuclaw: When I try to run it, it removes one number at a time...
[01:56] <Fiftyone> wolter yea if i can copy it to my local disk i can change oqner and premissions but i cant copy
[01:57] <wolter> nightrid3r, i discovered yesterday, now i don't remember how it happened, that you can access your computer as <computer name>.local instead of entering the ip address
[01:57] <peer`> does anybody have experience with normal ubuntu 8.10 installs on ASUS Eee/any netbooks? Please message me. Thanks.
[01:57] <wolter> Fiftyone, what's the error? Permission denied?
[01:57] <nightrid3r> wolter oh i didn't know that
[01:57] <Fiftyone> wolter yes
[01:57] <tuxflavrdwafls> is it possible to get digital speakers to work through a headphone jack?
[01:57] <ScottG489> So my ethernet connection is normally called eth0, what is my wireless one called?
[01:57] <wolter> nightrid3r, try it, its awesome!
[01:58] <CheesyWeasel> ibuclaw: I added a g to the end of the regexp, and it works fine now. Thanks.
[01:58] <peer`> tuxflavrdwafls maybe through an adaptor of some sort
[01:58] <Fiftyone> Peer i am running 810 on eeepc 1000h
[01:58] <Sal__> glenrock ?
[01:58] <ibuclaw> CheesyWeasel, ahh... change the match to this then:    s/[0-9]+/NUMBER/g
[01:58] <int256> any body from kerala
[01:58] <omnydevi> is there anything else required for changing owner of a directory other than chown -R myself directory?
[01:58] <CheesyWeasel> ibuclaw: Yeah, I got it.
[01:59] <CheesyWeasel> ibuclaw++

[01:59] <marsha> Hello
[01:59] <dios_mio2> marsha hi baby
[01:59] <wolter> Fiftyone, you don't have a mac anymore? perhaps you could give a  "$ sudo chmod a-w <drive>" from mac terminal
[01:59] <Uplink> anyone uses ffmpeg in here?
[01:59] <marsha> I just installed 8.10 and cannot connect to unsecured wifi
[01:59] <DIFH-iceroot> !anyone | Uplink
[02:00] <e3co> I'm with ubottu
[02:00] <dgetsman> So it appears that AIDE configuration in ubuntu server 8.04 vs. 8.10 is not interchangeable...  can anybody tell me what the easiest way would be on an 8.04 server distro would be to upgrade to 8.10 from a remote shell command line without taking things down for a long time for existing network services?
[02:00] <Fiftyone> Wolter the mac is toast just have the drive
[02:00] <wolter> Fiftyone, haha
[02:01] <Uplink> i need help converting an wma to mp3 with ffmpeg... pls help :]
[02:01] <nightrid3r> dgetsman sounds like its a production machine, is there a special reason to upgrade
[02:01] <ScottG489> Jason_____: Well that would be for a second ethernet (Which i dont know how you would have more then one, i was looking for wlan0)
[02:02] <dr_dasos> I have downloaded ubuntu 8.10 amd64 iso and am on windows xp. instead of creating a CD, I want to create a "live USB drive" and install from that, is there an easy way to do it on my setup?
[02:03] <sinead> Unetbootin should do the trick to make a bootable USB from an ISO
[02:03] <DIFH-iceroot> dr_dasos: http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html
[02:04] <DIFH-iceroot> dr_dasos: maybe this is what you are looking for
[02:04] <ScottG489> How do I disable the login sound on ubuntu?
[02:04] <Jason_____> ScottG489: some have wlan some have eth1 have a look at your network interfaces ifconfig
[02:04] <Jason_____> mines eth1 usualy
[02:04] <hlm> ScottG489, go to system >prefences sounds
[02:04] <dr_dasos> DIFH-iceroot, looks interesting, reading up on it now, thanks
[02:04] <hlm> sound*
[02:05] <ScottG489> Jason_____: Oh huh, ok well thanks
[02:05] <freegoo> thanks guys u really do help alot of people for nothing in return
[02:05] <ScottG489> Jason_____: I guess that kinda would make sense because like i said above, most computers wouldnt have more then one ehternet
[02:05] <DIFH-iceroot> dr_dasos: works great for me with a notebook which hav no cd-drive and no usb-boot
[02:05] <hlm> ScottG489, when in system>preferences>sound in the sounds tab there is a dialog that says login
[02:05] <infomomo> great
[02:05] <chu_> Good afternoon everyone.
[02:05] <omnydevi> how do you chown a whole drive when chown -R does not work?
[02:06] <usrlocalbin> uplink: does something like this work (without quotes): "ffmpeg -i file.wma file.mp3" work?
[02:06] <ScottG489> hlm: Yea ive been here before, it shows WHAT sounds but I dont see how to disable it..........nvm figured it out
[02:06] <Uplink> usrlocalbin: i got it fixed ty bro
[02:06] <hlm> ScottG489, in alerts and sound effects you will find login, it should say default next to it, click it and then a popup will appear on it select disable, and close it and you will no longer play sounds on login
[02:06] <dr_dasos> DIFH-iceroot: a quick scan makes it seem just like what i was looking for, thanks :)
[02:06] <ScottG489> hlm: It was hiding, i had to click on the disable
[02:07] <hlm> ScottG489, that is correct :-)
[02:07] <dr_dasos> DIFH-iceroot: it also helps to know you've had success with this technique
[02:07] <scientes> hello
[02:07] <ScottG489> hlm: Thanks :) Want to help me get my hibernate working too? Its been my biggest problem
[02:08] <SuPrA> hey
[02:08] <hlm> ScottG489, I have absolutely no clue on how to do that, sorry :-(
[02:08] <e3co> hi
[02:08] <ScottG489> hlm: lol ok well thanks anyways
[02:08] <netsurf3> hi i need some help
[02:08] <netsurf3> my machine randomly stopped suspending
[02:08] <hlm> ScottG489, Glad I could help! :-)
[02:08] <netsurf3> it used to be fine but now just switches to terminal
[02:08] <netsurf3> then nothing
[02:09] <ScottG489> hlm: Why is it that I never hear the logout sound. Does turning off your computer not count?
[02:09] <e3co> netsurf3:  it goes from gnome to terminal... like it just switches
[02:09] <netsurf3> yeah
[02:09] <hlm> ScottG489, evidently I think thats true, because I never hear it either
[02:09] <netsurf3> it does that normally e3co problem is it doesnt enter s3
[02:10] <e3co> netsurf3:  s3 ? You have it boot to cli?
[02:10] <netsurf3> no
[02:10] <netsurf3> gdm
[02:10] <e3co> then you log in and use it
[02:10] <e3co> right
[02:10] <netsurf3> e3co, i am refering to acpi state s3
[02:10] <netsurf3> suspend to ram
[02:10] <zenlunatic> what is a runlevel?
[02:10] <e3co> oh sorry
[02:11] <omnydevi> anyone know how to chown anything besides the home directory?
[02:11] <Fiftyone> I am trying to access some files on an old mac hd. Tje mac is toast all i have is tje hd. I can mount it and access most of the files but tje ones i need are locked. I tried chown didnt work also tried to sudo cp -r newdir and it wont let me copy it. Please help
[02:11] <ZiRiS> So I'm trying to share this folder, see.....
[02:11] <e3co> netsurf3:  sorry I can't help
[02:11] <zenlunatic> omnydevi: believe it requires root access
[02:11] <netsurf3> okay cheers
[02:12] <omnydevi> zenlunatic: i have opened nautilus as root and tried to give permissions to myself. same in terminal, but root will not let go.
[02:12] <ZiRiS> But I can't because I get error: Ask the administrator to add the line "usershare owner only = False"  to the [global] section of the smb.conf to allow this.
[02:12] <Fiftyone> I am trying to access some files on an old mac hd. Tje mac is toast all i have is tje hd. I can mount it and access most of the files but tje ones i need are locked. I tried chown didnt work also tried to sudo cp -r newdir and it wont let me copy it. Please help
[02:12] <ZiRiS> So where do I find this smb.conf, and conversely, how would I share this using a cli and 'sudo'?
[02:13] <e3co> Fiftyone:  I will look again for you
[02:13] <zenlunatic> omnydevi: weird
[02:13] <Fiftyone> e3co thank you
[02:13] <omnydevi> ZiRiS: i just got it up. let me give you the link i just used
[02:14] <omnydevi> i just cant get damn control over my 2 other drives in my box
[02:14] <ZiRiS> omnydevi: Awesome.
[02:14] <ScottG489> hlm: I also lost that animation where the screen gets all bright when i was logging in or turning off my computer
[02:14] <e3co> Fiftyone:  are they time machine backups?
[02:14] <omnydevi> ZiRiS: http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=532
[02:14] <ScottG489> hlm: I think its because i installed compiz
[02:14] <omnydevi> i can see it on my network, i just dont have permissions to my drives. they arent local though
[02:15] <omnydevi> if it werent for that, i think this would have worked
[02:15] <hlm> ScottG489, thats no explanation, what color did it used to be? orange correct?
[02:15] <ZiRiS> omnydevi: Have you tried adding to fstab?
[02:15] <Fiftyone> I cant find anything, i did find someone suggested creating a user acct with the same name as the owner of the mac hd but  i cant start a username with a number
[02:15] <int256> when i press . key in numeric keypad ',' appears. pls help
[02:15] <omnydevi> not yet, was looking at that now. this is the first time ubuntu has seen them without fstab
[02:15] <juanjo_> i need help plz
[02:15] <ZiRiS> nm, I guess fstab doesn't work that way.
[02:15] <omnydevi> was looking into the free3gp thing
[02:15] <DrX> How do you fix GRUB throwing Error 17 Cannot Mount selected partition (I have a dual boot Lin/Win with 2 hard drives)?
[02:15] <omnydevi> er
[02:15] <e3co> Fiftyone:  are the files time machine backups?
[02:15] <omnydevi> ntfs-3g
[02:15] <Fiftyone> e3co no juat my desktop files
[02:16] <Kruug> Okay, ran through ATI driver configuration, and yet it still does not work
[02:16] <DJNomad> drx google reinstalling grub
[02:16] <omnydevi> no matter what i do, root just wont give me rights to crap, even as root
[02:16] <DJNomad> you can do it through live cd
[02:16] <ScottG489> hlm: I thought it was just white. But I think compiz has its own login and logout effect so thats my guess. The screen would slowly get all whited out, and sometimes it would then go inverse and turned black/purpleish
[02:16] <int256> pls answer my question. i am leaving. but will look on irc logs later. so pls continue
[02:17] <DJNomad> i dunno details but i had to do it a week ago
[02:17] <Fiftyone> e3co its the actual drive from my mac lappy the lappy was destroied but i managed to save the hd
[02:17] <hlm> ScottG489, I dont have a clue about that, sorry :-(

[02:22] <tiyowan> Hi. I've been trying to get an Alfa USB wifi adapter working with intrepid. The wifi has a RTL8187 Realtek, and I'm trying to install ndiswrapper to use with it. I've downloaded the .deb packages for ndiswrapper from the package site, but I can't install them. An error occurs notifying me that the files aren't in valid debian archive format. I need to install it manually.
[02:23] <Fiftyone> E3co i dont have an internet connection to use synaptic
[02:23] <ibuclaw> Sal__, you could have a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=541656
[02:23] <ibuclaw> Sal__, that is for "Remote Desktop in Firefox" though. But the same principles apply

[02:27] <ibuclaw> dr3w_, you are better off booting into the Ubuntu LiveCD, and using gparted.
[02:27] <tekteen> xxcue: state?
[02:27] <bullgard4> kushalsejwal: You have a wrong idea about the physical processes. 70% of CPU may lead to a higher CPU fan speed. But if a higher CPU fan speed is right or wrong cannot be answered from 70% CPU load.

[02:27] <jdmnynja> Raylz: I did, and copied the .so file into the plugins but it did nothing.

[02:28] <Raylz> jdmnynja: i look if i can send you the downloadlink
[02:28] <ibuclaw> fearful, sudo apt-get install rpm
[02:29] <nightrid3r> fearful the ooo pack you have is for an rpm based system
[02:29] <salty> fearful, did you install java thru the repositories?
[02:29] <ibuclaw> or what nightrid3r said ;)
[02:29] <e3co> you  can install rpm's on debian based systems?
[02:29] <jdmnynja> Raylz: It says it is released, I just don't think I went around putting it on correctly. I copied the .so file into my created plugins folder in ~/.mozilla/ and started my browser.
[02:29] <bullgard4> kushalsejwal: This is normal.
[02:29] <kushalsejwal> bullgard4: usrlocalbin: My pc is still under warranty so I thought something might be wrong with the CPU fan/ SMPS as its quite old now

[02:29] <kole> I want to give xfce a go.... do i just apt-get install xfce? will it delete anything... change anything other then what i see?
[02:29] <Raylz> jdmnynja: isnt there an installation routine included?
[02:30] <ibuclaw> e3co, you can with the 'alien' package. But it does get messy if you have missing libraries
[02:30] <Sal__> hey i connected to ubuntu with tightvnc
[02:30] <nightrid3r> fearful rpm will get you into trouble
[02:30] <Sal__> but its just a grey screen
[02:30] <Sal__> anybody ever run into this issue>
[02:30] <jdmnynja> Raylz: no, the only method that labs.adobe.com on the alpha gave me was the manual install
[02:30] <ZiRiS> omnydevi: Thank you very much. Worked excellently.
[02:30] <e3co> ibuclaw: thats neat
[02:30] <bullgard4> kushalsejwal: What you have just said does not seem odd to me.
[02:30] <kushalsejwal> bullgard4: but that CPU sounds is continuous and it annoys me. are you sure its normal?
[02:30] <fearful> nightrid3r, ok so download one thats not rpm based
[02:30] <jdmnynja> Raylz: I had to put the .so file into the folder myself, there was no installation.
[02:30] <nightrid3r> fearful yes
[02:30] <ibuclaw> Sal__, have you setup the desktop configuration ?
[02:30] <Sal__> no ?
[02:30] <Raylz> jdmnynja: try this one: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.d21.1.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
[02:30] <Sal__> im running this from the command line ibu
[02:31] <bullgard4> kushalsejwal: I experience the same with my Ubuntu computer.
[02:31] <tekteen> anyone know how to change the runlevel in grub? I setup 3 to not boot X but I am having trouble booting it up
[02:31] <fearful> nightrid3r, thats the only one on their site..
[02:31] <jdmnynja> Raylz: that is the one I just had. the only thing it has in it is libflashplayer.so
[02:31] <Sal__> ibuclaw was there anything additional that i needed to setup?
[02:31] <ibuclaw> Sal__, gedit ~/.vnc/xstartup
[02:31] <salty> java6 is in the repositories fearful
[02:31] <kushalsejwal>  bullgard4: okay, then its must be normal only, thanks mate!
[02:31] <usrlocalbin> kushalsejwal: yes, if you are using 70% cpu it will heat up and the fan will spin faster to cool the processor
[02:31] <Sal__> ok..
[02:31] <ibuclaw> Sal__, are you using Gnome, KDE or XFCE?
[02:31] <e3co> Has anyone figured out how to make my whole desktop available on the first time boot of a remastered live cd?
[02:31] <ibuclaw> or other :)
[02:32] <fearful> salty: I have java6
[02:32] <Raylz> jdmnynja: in my OS its installed to /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[02:32] <e3co> as is
[02:32] <tekteen> fearful: sun-java6-bin
[02:32] <bullgard4> kushalsejwal: Enjoy Ubuntu!
[02:32] <nightrid3r> fearful oxigenoffice is also ooo 3 with some extras, they have deb package
[02:32] <Sal__> should it say so in xstartup ibuclaw ?
[02:32] <Raylz> jdmnynja: try to find out where firefox searches for it
[02:32] <kushalsejwal> bullgard4: Yes I am ;) BTW any teminal command to know the CPU temperature?
[02:32] <Sal__> this is a dedicated server i have that im connecting to
[02:32] <Sal__> ive never physically logged on it
[02:32] <Sal__> only through SSH
[02:32] <jdmnynja> Raylz: right, only i'm using mozilla. It searches for it in the /plugins folder. So I put it in ~/.mozilla/plugins but it still isn't working. i followed the directions to the dot
[02:32] <e3co> Has anyone figured out how to make my whole desktop available on the first time boot of a remastered live cd? as it is when I start it?
[02:33] <Titan8990> I am having a problem and having trouble figuring out how equery works. The manpage for equery would lead be to believe that:   equery d gnome   will tell me all direct dependencies of gnome. Is this not correct?
[02:33] <fearful> tekteen: sun-java6-bin is already the newest version.
[02:33] <nightrid3r> fearful http://sourceforge.net/projects/ooop
[02:33] <ibuclaw> Sal__, this is just an example. But if the gnome-desktop package is installed on your server, you'd have something like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/119897/plain/
[02:33] <Raylz> jdmnynja: are deps like nss, curl and fontconfig installed?
[02:34] <Kruug> Does anyone know where I can get Xgl for Ubuntu?
[02:34] <tekteen> fearful: what is your problem, all I saw was that you were having issues with java
[02:34] <jdmnynja> Raylz: not sure, how can i find out?
[02:34] <bullgard4> kushalsejwal: No terminal command. But a GNOME applet: 'sensors-applet'.
[02:34] <Raylz> jdmnynja: search em in synaptic
[02:34] <Sal__> ibuclaw: http://pastebin.com/d6dbf1675
[02:34] <Sal__> thats mine
[02:34] <salty> fearful, you can always make a symlink to where your java is located
[02:34] <fearful> tekteen, installing openoffice with the rpm
[02:34] <Sal__> should i change it to what you have?
[02:34] <Titan8990> jdmnynja: or if you want to do it the l33t way:    dpkg -l | grep PACKAGEIMLOOKINGFOR
[02:34] <jdmnynja> Raylz: i'm new to ubuntu, don't know what synaptic is
[02:34] <fearful> tekteen: they came in rpm
[02:35] <koshari> !synaptic
[02:35] <tekteen> fearful: like with alien?
[02:35] <tekteen> !alien
[02:35] <keystr0k> Anyone use lottanzb? recently I've noticed I cannot get a connection greater than 4kb/s!
[02:35] <e3co> what is this alien package?
[02:35] <salty> jdmnynja synaptic is a GUI app for installing software
[02:35] <koshari> !alien
[02:35] <Fiftyone> i am trying to copy some files from a mac hd but when i run sudo cp desktop /newfilename/ i keep getting the error 'omitting directory 'desktop'
[02:35] <fearful> nightrid3r: Whats the difference between the cs or just the normal one
[02:35] <Kruug> !compiz
[02:35] <tekteen> !alien
[02:35] <nightrid3r> e3co something you sould stay away from as far as possible
[02:35] <Fiftyone> Anyone know why
[02:36] <e3co> sorry !alien - yeah I'll pass on getting that crazy
[02:36] <fearful> nightrid3r, oh nvm language
[02:36] <xjunior> when I go to "Add/Remove Applications" it's not showing any application. What can be wrong?
[02:36] <koshari> xjunior try synaptic
[02:36] <e3co> Why not just rebuild the package to a .deb?
[02:36] <genii> Fiftyone: Try an option like -a
[02:36] <tekteen> fearful: did you read the thing on RPMs?
[02:36] <Sal__> ibuclaw even if i change to your settings and restart the vnc server, same issue occurs :l
[02:36] <tekteen> !alien > fearful
[02:36] <jdmnynja> Raylz: what am i looking for again and where do I boot synaptic from?
[02:36] <HermanDE> Anybody have any luck installing funambol on Intrepid?
[02:36] <xjunior> koshari, but, what is wrong with "Add/Remove Applications" ?
[02:37] <koshari> xjunior its very limited,
[02:37] <Raylz> jdmnynja: or try simply sudo apt-get install nss curl fontconfig
[02:37] <fearful> tekteen, thanks
[02:37] <salty> open your terminal and type 'sudo synaptic'
[02:37] <Raylz> jdmnynja: if something is being installed it was missing
[02:37] <mrshts> anyone help me with ubuntu not finding memorystick via my cellphone?
[02:37] <tekteen> fearful: I still think you are best off not using it
[02:37] <xjunior> koshari, ok, but it should be showing the applications anyway...l.
[02:38] <mrshts> i'm a newbie with linux...
[02:38] <hlm> is it possible to try and use an unsupported monitor resolution?
[02:38] <koshari> jdmnynja menu > sytem > admin > synaptic    or "gksudo synaptic" in a command
[02:38] <nightrid3r> mrshts is there an option on your phone to switch it ti something like computer mode
[02:38] <jdmnynja> Raylz: it says E: Couldn't find package nss
[02:38] <mrshts> yeah
[02:38] <fearful> tekteen, well then how can I install openoffice3.0 on xubuntu the ways softpedia only working for ubuntu, I typed repos and all and nothing came up on the update manager
[02:38] <jbuncher> I bought a 1TB external drive, formatted FAT32.  Is there a way to make a backup drive image (COMPRESSED) so that I can format the drive ext3 but still restore it to the fat32 state if I want to return it in the future?
[02:38] <mrshts> there  is mass storage.... i've used it
[02:38] <koshari>  jdmnynja you may need to add extra repositorys
[02:38] <tekteen> fearful: I can look it up
[02:39] <koshari> jbuncher yes with partimage
[02:39] <jdmnynja> koshari: and those are?
[02:39] <fearful> tekteen, would help a lot been busting my head and nothing
[02:39] <koshari> jdmnynja universe , multiverse , medibuntu ect
[02:39] <ibuclaw> Sal__, are you still here?
[02:39] <jdmnynja> koshari: can I install them through the terminal?
[02:39] <mrshts> u'm running 8.04 and trying to swap files with a sonyericsson using m2 card(sony memory stick)
[02:39] <Sal__> yeah
[02:39] <Sal__> i think its cause theres no session
[02:39] <Sal__> how can i startup a session ibuclaw ?
[02:39] <jbuncher> koshari:  can you give an example command?  I'm dl'ing it now
[02:40] <jmsthing678_> Hello everyone
[02:40] <koshari> jbuncher do you have synaptic open?
[02:40] <Raylz> jdmnynja: libnss3-dev
[02:40] <chu_> I wish it would hurry up and be April already :p
[02:40] <jbuncher> koshari, I just installed via apt-get
[02:40] <jmsthing678_> Is there anywone who can help me with my graphics issues?
[02:40] <tekteen> fearful: what is wrong with the softpedia tutorial
[02:40] <Raylz> jdmnynja: sudo apt-get install libnss3-dev curl fontconfig
[02:40] <nightrid3r> !anyone | jmsthing678_
[02:40] <koshari> jbuncher synaptic is effectively jsut a gui front end for apt
[02:40] <jdmnynja> Raylz: all right I installed libnss3-dev
[02:41] <jdmnynja> Raylz: okay, I have them all installed now.
[02:41] <jbuncher> koshari, yes, I know :)  Does partimage compress "on-the-fly" or does it need to create the entire partition image before compressing?
[02:41] <Raylz> jdmnynja: does it work yet?
[02:41] <THX^>  whats the best way to dual boot with winxp?
[02:41] <jdmnynja> let me try
[02:41] <xxcue> i dont know what hardware works well with linux in general ...wish i knew id build boxes for others
[02:42] <jmsthing678_> whenever I'm in a full screen game everything looks like it has been through a cheese greater. Any ideas?
[02:42] <Myrtti> !hardware | xxcue
[02:42] <jdmnynja> Raylz: no. the little dots twirl in the video screen then it freezes
[02:42] <xxcue> the list ive been to is worthless
[02:42] <Raylz> jdmnynja: so at least the plugin loads?
[02:42] <koshari> jbuncher it will compress on the fly
[02:42] <THX^> Is setting up a dual boot usually an easy process?
[02:43] <koshari> THX^ for most people
[02:43] <jbuncher> koshari: any idea how much space is needed for an image of a 1TB drive where ~500MB have been used?
[02:43] <jdmnynja> Raylz: whenever I go into my browser and search i see shockwave flash 9.0 r999 and shockwave flash 10.0 d21
[02:43] <xxcue> use vmware player or workstation
[02:43] <jmsthing678_> THX dual boot should be easy as long as you ahve a drive/ partition free
[02:43] <THX^> will the ubuntu 8.1 cd set up a partition?
[02:44] <koshari> jbuncher that would depend on the content, partimage used gzip so you could compress it with gzip and it should give you a rough idea,
[02:44] <jmsthing678_> THX it can but you need to make sure you are careful
[02:44] <ravious> Would anyone happen to know where the configuration files for the nfs server are stored?
[02:44] <koshari> text and bins will compress well, mp3, xvids, ect wont
[02:44] <mrshts> anyone help with ubuntu not finding my m2 card?
[02:44] <genii> jbuncher: If you use dd on a drive/partition it copies everything including dead areas
[02:44] <Raylz> jdmnynja: at about:plugins ?
[02:44] <jmsthing678_> THX you wouldnt want to accidentally destroy your old os
[02:45] <THX^> jmsthing678, yes, thats what im worried about
[02:45] <jdmnynja> Raylz: i have no about plugins area. I have to go to tools, addons, and then select the plugins tab
[02:45] <koshari> jbuncher oh and the file would be a lot less than the amount used, if the rest of the partition as spare
[02:45] <jmsthing678_> THX is your old OS windows?
[02:45] <THX^> win xp
[02:45] <mrshts> i have a 500gig usb hdd that has no problems i dont know why it wont mount and or find the card in my phone... works for other phones
[02:45] <nightrid3r> THX^ backup important stuff first
[02:45] <carl-m> I'm having a wierd issue - when I try to ssh from my ubuntu laptop to my ubunto desktop, it hangs after th authentication
[02:45] <tsmith> Hi, I'm running 8.10 x86_64. i have a dvd drive with dma enabled, but when I test the read speed with hdparm I'm getting rates of less that 1mb/s. tried with different discs, same thing. it takes hours to rip a dvd. i thought that I had configd my kernel incorrectly, but i get the same result in the livecd. any ideas?
[02:45] <jmsthing678_> THX then use the hardware manager to create a new partition and install to that
[02:46] <Raylz> jdmnynja: is the old one deactivated?
[02:46] <jbuncher> genii, koshari:  thanks for the info.  I've made images with dd before, but I've never used partimage.  Does the "restore" function of partimage need to have the partitions already created?
[02:46] <THX^> hardware manager is on the ubuntu cd?
[02:46] <smokeytheman> you guys rock!
[02:46] <jdmnynja> Raylz: i just deactivated it, but now I don't even see a video on youtube.
[02:46] <jmsthing678_> THX no in windows xp
[02:46] <koshari>  jbuncher yes
[02:46] <jdmnynja> Raylz: where the video should be there is nothing.
[02:47] <mrshts> is there a forum dedicated to my problem i could check out?
[02:47] <Raylz> jdmnynja: ok, go to preferences and the forth section in the navigation
[02:47] <nightrid3r> mrshts i think its the phone that gives the problem
[02:48] <jbuncher> koshari:  I guess my last question would be, is there a program (fdisk, gparted) that is capable of making a 1TB fat32 partition?
[02:48] <THX^> jmsthing678, where is that in xp?
[02:48] <smokeytheman> if any of you do any work with wine and would be interested in another compatable software, it isn't exactly open source but you can use counter-strike source non-steam and it works, decent fps too
[02:48] <idris> hi i need some help i am new to ubuntu i dont know y but when i minimize a page i dont see it on my menu bar
[02:48] <Raylz> jdmnynja: i guess its called applications
[02:48] <jmsthing678_> THX right click on the my computer icon and click mangage

[02:48] <THX^> I see

[02:49] <idris> can anyone help me
[02:49] <xjkx> after i installed a new distribution in other partition, ubuntu acted weird, now ubuntu says "could not open hal" or something like that. and my apt doesn't work, it says  /var/cache/apt/archives/partial doesn't exist, and it really doesn't, in fact not even /var/cache/apt exists, how can i fix it
[02:49] <Raylz> there try setting it manually to the folder youve installed it too
[02:49] <Raylz> s/too/to/
[02:49] <mrshts> prolly just need to get a card reader.
[02:49] <metalpres> does anyone know for sure that removing the pulseaudio package, which also forces the removal of the ubuntu-desktop package wont cause any problems?  I found a thread on the forums saying it can be done but I just want to confirm it with someone who knows for sure before i fubar my system trying.
[02:49] <idris> thank u
[02:49] <idris> so much
[02:49] <koshari> idris you must have removed the notification are off the panel
[02:49] <mrshts> thanks for taking the time. later guys
[02:49] <Raylz> jdmnynja: i had to set this in my debian manually too
[02:49] <jdmnynja> Raylz: i found two
[02:49] <idris> how do i open notifications
[02:50] <xjunior> when I go to "Add/Remove Applications" it's not showing any application. What can be wrong?
[02:50] <Raylz> jdmnynja: yep, set both
[02:50] <jdmnynja> Raylz: well if i get this fixed it is my last problem for a while lol. set both?
[02:50] <Raylz> jdmnynja: set both to the installed plugin
[02:50] <THX^> jmsthing678, I see it says "computer management" utility but no partition option
[02:50] <koshari>  idris: you can add items to the panel by rightclicking a vacant space on the panel and add to panel
[02:50] <jdmnynja> Raylz: i dont understand what you mean set both to the installed plug in.
[02:51] <Gawdly> can anyone help? running x64 8.10 but no audio in flash with USB headset... I've tried everything I could find on it but no luck.
[02:51] <jmsthing678_> THX you have to click on your hard drive in the hardware manager
[02:51] <Raylz> jdmnynja: in the drop down menu you can set an other application
[02:51] <Gawdly> is this a common ubuntu problem?
[02:51] <Royall> How do I run nautilus under root privliges (ie 'sudo nautilus'), but still stay in my own user's directories?
[02:51] <jdmnynja> Raylz: aye i see shockwave flash, movie player, or use other.
[02:52] <koshari> Royall you cannot,
[02:52] <THX^> jmsthing678, I see no hardware manager
[02:52] <Raylz> jdmnynja: exactly, now navigate to ~/.mozilla/plugins and choose the .so file
[02:52] <jmsthing678_> THX hold on Im gettin on my xp machine
[02:52] <nightrid3r> Gawdly flash on 64 bit is flacky at best
[02:52] <jdmnynja> Raylz: okay. what after that
[02:52] <Raylz> jdmnynja: both set?
[02:52] <THX^> ok jmsthing678
[02:53] <Raylz> jdmnynja: then close the window and restart firefox
[02:53] <jdmnynja> Raylz: one moment
[02:53] <jmsthing678_> THX ok so in the computer management window you click on disk management
[02:53] <phobiac> The flash alpha for 64 bit from adobe works fine for me.
[02:53] <tsmith> Hi, I'm running 8.10 x86_64. i have a dvd drive with dma enabled, but when I test the read speed with hdparm I'm getting rates of less that 1mb/s. tried with different discs, same thing. it takes hours to rip a dvd. i thought that I had configd my kernel incorrectly, but i get the same result in the livecd. any ideas?
[02:53] <Gawdly> nightrid3r: there's no work around?
[02:53] <phobiac> It's been a memory hog a few times, but otherwise it works.
[02:53] <Royall> Ok, then, the other approach: When I try to mount an external drive of mine via nautilus, it says I'm not priviledged. But when I try to mount it in terminal (ie 'sudo mount /media/[re]drive') it says that directory doesn't exist.
[02:53] <THX^> ok, jmsthing678_
[02:53] <phobiac> Gawdly: Try the flash alpha provided by adobe.
[02:53] <jdmnynja> Raylz: i have nothing showing up
[02:53] <jmsthing678_> THX that will be under storage tab
[02:54] <Gawdly> they only link to the i386 version
[02:54] <nightrid3r> phobiac says the alpha from adobe works fine on 64 bit
[02:54] <koshari> Royall use fstab to mount the drive
[02:54] <Raylz> jdmnynja: what firefox version are you using?
[02:54] <THX^> jmsthing678_, I see that
[02:54] <phobiac> Gawdly: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/
[02:54] <jmsthing678_> THX that is how you manage partitions in windows xp you might have to click around a bit to get it to work
[02:54] <jdmnynja> raylz: version 3.0.6
[02:54] <phobiac> Oh wait, wrong link.
[02:54] <Royall> koshari: fstab is a command?
[02:54] <slide> ooook this is freaking weird
[02:54] <slide> my screen just inverted it seems
[02:54] <slide> color wise
[02:54] <Raylz> jdmnynja: hm, ok, i rly dont know what to do then
[02:54] <phobiac> Gawdly: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html Linux 64 is at the bottom.
[02:55] <Gawdly> thx dude
[02:55] <Raylz> jdmnynja: must be some flash issue
[02:55] <slide> everything is like the reverse of the normal colors
[02:55] <Raylz> jdmnynja: maybe grahics
[02:55] <koshari> Royall its a config file for mount
[02:55] <jdmnynja> raylz: you think it could be the graphics card?
[02:55] <phobiac> Gawdly: Do you know how to install it? It's a manual install.
[02:55] <xjkx> ﻿after i installed a new distribution in other partition, ubuntu acted weird, now gnome says on startup "could not open hal" or something like that. and my apt doesn't work, it says  /var/cache/apt/archives/partial doesn't exist, and it really doesn't, in fact not even /var/cache/apt exists, how can i fix it
[02:55] <Raylz> jdmnynja: did you install the driver yet?
[02:55] <jdmnynja> Raylz: let me try.
[02:55] <THX^> jmsthing678_, "convert to dynamic disk"?
[02:55] <Royall> koshari: I already added an entry to fstab, but it doesn't seem to mount when I log off and then log on again
[02:56] <jmsthing678_> Now as I was saying  before, Whenever I am in a full screen game everything looks like it has been through a cheese grater
[02:56] <jdmnynja> Raylz: i may not have, i was having issues installing it earlier
[02:56] <slide> wow that was weird
[02:56] <Raylz> jdmnynja: the new flash version changed the way it renders videos
[02:56] <slide> hey everyone hit Super+M
[02:56] <Raylz> jdmnynja: what grahpiccard are you using?
[02:56] <koshari> Royall dont log off/onn use mount -a
[02:57] <xxcue> getting bored yet?
[02:57] <Royall> slide: hehe weird
[02:57] <slide> Royall, yea, really freaked me out
[02:57] <slide> hahah
[02:57] <slide> didnt mean to do it
[02:57] <slide> Super+N does only the current window
[02:57] <THX^> jmsthing678_, I don't see any option to create new partition, I'll research it a bit, thanks
[02:57] <jdmnynja> raylz: not sure. i had to swap it out when i installed my OS. its a PNY something.
[02:57] <Royall> koshari: only lets me do it under root, then: fuse: failed to access mountpoint /media/[re]drive: No such file or directory
[02:57] <koshari> i like super e
[02:57] <jdmnynja> Raylz: i have a geforce fx sitting here I need to put in.
[02:58] <jmsthing678_> THX sry I dont know very much beyond that point
[02:58] <THX^> np
[02:58] <koshari> Royall you have a permissions issue then
[02:58] <Royall> koshari: where do I change that?
[02:58] <Raylz> jdmnynja: try system -> System Settings -> Hardware
[02:58] <linkinx64> what the name of the channel for Jaunty?
[02:58] <koshari> whats the placeholder dir permissions?
[02:58] <xxcue> is anyone running ubuntu on current hardware?
[02:58] <Zlogger> As usual, im here with a stupid question.  Right now i have:  p = current_user.posts   -- Can i order by Post's weight?  Something like current_user.posts(:order => "weight ASC") ?
[02:58] <jbuncher> koshari, can gparted create and format 1TB partitions in fat32?
[02:58]  * Royall tries a restart
[02:58] <jmsthing678_> Now as I was saying  before, Whenever I am in a full screen game everything looks like it has been through a cheese grater. Surely  SOMEONE knows how to fix this?
[02:59] <nightrid3r> THX^ you can use the gparted iso to resize your windows partition to make room for ubuntu
[02:59] <koshari> jbuncher yes
[02:59] <Zlogger> in the console, it does not change the order at all
[02:59] <carpii__> well 'a cheese grater' tells us nothing
[02:59] <jbuncher> koshari, thanks
[02:59] <shoterboyx> can any1 help me with my sound driver?
[02:59] <koshari> jbuncher it cant create the parttitions but can back them up, use gparted to create the partition,
[02:59] <shoterboyx> there is no sound
[02:59] <jdmnynja> Raylz: there is no system settings hardware options
[03:00] <linkinx64> I am getting a weird sound everytime i hit the end of a list...for example scrolling down...and when it hits the end it makes a weird noise fomr the internal speaker
[03:00] <jmsthing678_> carpii__ thats exactly what it looks like everything loosk shredder and out of order its very difficult to see anything but colors of what Im supposed to be seein g
[03:00] <koshari> jbuncher its not a great ide to use fat32 for a 1tb partition
[03:00] <templaedhel> So i have windows on my hard disk, i know because im using it rihgt now  and before i installed it i had a / and a /home partiton for ubuntu but now, when i go to install ubuntu (grub restore didnt work) it doesnt detect ANY partitons, it just sees empty HD btw my data is backed up, so no need to worry about that
[03:00] <carpii__> jms, check your video drivers are correct
[03:01] <jmsthing678_> carpii__ drivers are fine
[03:01] <shoterboyx> can some1 help me with my sound driver.......there is no sound on my ubuntu pls help
[03:01] <Raylz> jdmnynja: there must be some hardware or restricted hardware or restricted drivers in the system menu
[03:01] <Raylz> jdmnynja: im using a german version of gnome, sry
[03:02] <shoterboyx> raylz do u know how to fix the sound problem?
[03:02] <linkmaster03> how do I scroll up in a 'screen' session?
[03:02] <carpii__> jms, what video card, what machine? youve not really told us anything we can possibly use to help you
[03:02] <Royall> Nope, nothing
[03:02] <phobiac> templaedhel: Sounds like you need to repartition.
[03:02] <Raylz> shoterboyx: what kind of sound problem?
[03:02] <jbuncher> koshari, I know, I plan to format to ext3, but I want to be able to restore the drive to its original state should I need to do so, hence the partition backup and the need to make a 1TB fat32 partition
[03:02] <shoterboyx> i have no sound
[03:02] <shoterboyx> nothing at all
[03:02] <Raylz> shoterboyx: pls paste the output of lspci
[03:02] <shoterboyx> what that?
[03:03] <Raylz> shoterboyx: prints out your hardware connected to pci
[03:03] <bangky> linkmaster03: "pg up"
[03:03] <shoterboyx> from where?
[03:03] <shoterboyx> i not very sure
[03:03] <jmsthing678_> carpii__ Acer Aspire 6530 notebook Radeon HD 3200 graphics card athalon x2 processor dual 1.9 ghz 4 gb of DDR2 RAM
[03:03] <jdmnynja> Raylz: i'm going to put my nvidia card in.
[03:03] <Raylz> shoterboyx: open a terminal
[03:03] <linkmaster03> bangky: that's what I would've thought but it doesn't work
[03:03] <jdmnynja> Raylz: maybe the card is an issue.
[03:03] <Royall> How do I give myself permissions to mount drives?
[03:03] <bangky> linkmaster03: it does for me though :s
[03:03] <Raylz> jdmnynja: ye, i cant think of anything else
[03:03] <shoterboyx> ok terminal is out raylz
[03:04] <linkmaster03> bangky: i'm ssh'd into a box and in a screen on that box, maybe ssh is the reason?
[03:04] <Raylz> shoterboyx: type in lspci
[03:04] <Raylz> shoterboyx: paste the output to http://www.rafb.net/paste/
[03:04] <Raylz> and send me the link
[03:04] <bangky> linkmaster03: possibly. try checking your terminal emulation type
[03:04] <shoterboyx> done
[03:04] <Zlogger> Is something like User.posts(:order => "weight ASC")  possible?
[03:05] <Zlogger> in the console, it does not change the order at all
[03:05] <Raylz> shoterboyx: did you paste it yet?
[03:05] <carpii__> jms, does it happen if you turn of video effects / compiz ?
[03:05] <shoterboyx> giv me a min

[03:21] <rww> echinos: It's probably in the output of "lshw". Goodness knows everything else is.
[03:21] <smuikas> apparently the packages don't automagically add the AddType lines
[03:21] <smuikas> ;D
[03:21] <Imunalia> eval: 1 ./ati-installer.sh :permission denied
[03:21] <skel> Vande: you can screenshare with something like dimdim.com
[03:21] <peer`> what does the ls in lshw stand for
[03:21] <smuikas> peace! and ty for edging me in the right direction
[03:21] <skel> Vande: don't know about skype, either way thats a bit OT

[03:23] <da_sharp> HI all, I have a nforce 4 chipset and nvidia 6600 GT graphic card,when I try to install ubuntu 64 bit using the live cd, my display won't show up or it shows vareityies of colors on screen after booting from cd, but the sounds are audible the boot sounds etc. How do I fix display and install ubuntu?
[03:23] <skel> Vande: off-topic =]
[03:24]  * da_sharp is looking for help
[03:24] <skel> da_sharp: did you try different video boot options?
[03:24] <Vande> skel: sorry about the OT remark then.
[03:24] <Imunalia> You can try pulling your vid card and use the onboard video till ubuntu is running then install the nvidia driver
[03:24] <skel> Vande: np, I think they just try and keep it related to Ubuntu as much as possible in here :)
[03:24] <da_sharp> Imunalia, I don't have any onboard card
[03:25] <da_sharp> only graphic card. So no display if no graphic card.
[03:25] <da_sharp> ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe :)
[03:25] <Imunalia> um, borrow a friends card LOL
[03:25] <da_sharp> :-(
[03:26] <da_sharp> The safe mode is also not available in the mode options.
[03:26] <da_sharp> :-(
[03:26] <Imunalia> Has anyone install thed ATI drivers the hard way? I am having all sorts of trouble trying to get it to install properly. I am running the terminal as sudo, and I am able to get the packadge to decompress but then it errors with the following line
[03:26] <Imunalia> eval: 1 ./ati-installer.sh :permission denied
[03:26] <Imunalia> is it running in SLI mode?
[03:26] <da_sharp> chmod +x ati-installer.sh
[03:26] <da_sharp> :P
[03:27] <kdub> anyone use an att 3g mobile broadband card with linux?
[03:27] <chuckf> da_sharp, you may need to get the alternate cd and install from it
[03:27] <Imunalia> many thankyous :D
[03:27] <peer`> 8.10 tells me that it already has installed the wifi drivers for my card (onboard on an asus Eee 1000HD, Atheros AR242x 802.11abg) but I can't use wireless at all. It's as if the system doesn't acknowledge that I have a working wifi chipset or anything. When I click on the help button under the "Hardware Drivers" window (with the Atheros drivers selected), it mentiones Restricted Drivers. How can I get my Wifi to work without using N
[03:27] <tritium> Better yet, don't use the ati installer.  Install the ubuntu-packaged fglrx.
[03:27]  * Imunalia tries it
[03:27] <leo12> TEM ALGUM BRASILEIRO AKI?????
[03:27] <tritium> !br | leo12
[03:27] <da_sharp> chuckf, Alternate CD is one in which the installer looks like debian installer?
[03:28] <chuckf> da_sharp, a text based installer, yes
[03:28] <junior6054> i need help with vuze?
[03:28] <kdub> use in portugese == use in english? weird
[03:28] <da_sharp> But there are equal chances that after the install my desktop won't get the X started chuckf
[03:28] <junior6054> can anyone help
[03:28] <Daft_Punk> I am trying to update Vuze manually because in the repos it is out of date and it keeps asking to update on startup of the program. I tried updating through the program and downloading the jar through the azureus site and applying it to the installation folder, but it doesnt work. help please. thanks
[03:28] <IndyGunFreak> peer`: is this a reasonably new install?
[03:28] <rww> da_sharp: debian-installer can do graphical installs now ;)
[03:28] <da_sharp> Yeah
[03:28] <RockmanFL> Need help getting ubuntu 8.10 with Samba to be seen on current windows home network....3 machines with 2 being an XP and Vista machine...I can ping ubuntu with success but shared folders do not show on either end.
[03:28] <peer`> IndyGunFreak, about an hour ago, no modifications made since. it's just been charging on my desk since
[03:28] <chuckf> da_sharp, it's probably your best option as it may just be that the live cd cannot detect your video correctly
[03:28] <IndyGunFreak> peer`: go to system/admin/hardware drivers
[03:28] <da_sharp> ubottu safe mode install
[03:29] <da_sharp> :P
[03:29] <Imunalia> didn't work, it only exhists for the brief moment when the file is decompressed

[03:31] <da_sharp> Scunizi, dpkg -i *.deb
[03:31] <Scunizi> da_sharp: thaks

[03:39] <illumin8> Currently im using a Ubuntu based distro called Crunchbang, (based on 8.10 Ubuntu 32bit) It uses an alternative screen manager with its own menus, If i install brasero how can i then launch it in this system?
[03:39] <rbil> kitche: and then what?
[03:39] <kitche> rbil: well what did it output
[03:40] <tritium> illumin8: perhaps there is a crunchbang channel you can ask in
[03:40] <illumin8> Perhaps ill check
[03:40] <rbil> kitche: 2.0.0.21~20090209t122238+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.7.10.1 0
[03:40] <allquixotic> Is there a way to tell grub to boot a different kernel on the next reboot _only_, and (regardless of whether it succeeds or fails to boot) go back to the way it was on the next reboot? I want to test a new kernel on a remote system and I have no out-of-band management, so if it can't at least start up sshd, I'm pretty hosed.
[03:40] <rbil> kitche: 2.0.0.6+2nobinonly-0ubuntu1 0
[03:41] <skrypt> How do I extract a series of rar files such as from .rar to .r0*
[03:41] <kdub> skrypt: unrar
[03:42] <kitche> rbil: ok you want to do sudo apt-get install firefox=2.0.0.6,2nobinonly-0ubuntu10 but remember you will be vulenerable to the security issue that 2.0.0.21 was released for but I don't really see an issue with it
[03:42] <rbil> kitche: will this remove the new one automatically and get me back to the old one?
[03:43] <kitche> rbil: it should
[03:43] <rbil> I'll try it
[03:43] <rbil> kitche: you sure there isn't a space between 1 and 0 at the end of that commandline?
[03:45] <w33d5> does anyone know of a way on UBUNTU SERVER (NO Window Manager) to Mount a DVD and RUN a SCRIPT (DVD Backup)
[03:45] <rbil> kitche: E: Version '2.0.0.6,2nobinonly-0ubuntu10' for 'firefox' was not found
[03:45] <kitche> rbil: if ther was a space in the output you go t then there is one
[03:46] <rbil> kitche: neither one works
[03:46] <w33d5> to clarify i'd like the server to automatically recognize a DVD was inserted and run a bash script
[03:46] <TruthTac1> is there any reason why i wouldent want to run a KDE app while i use gnome?
[03:47] <kitche> rbil: you can do it though Synaptic as well if you select the firefox package then under the package menu in the menu bar select force version and chose the version you want
[03:47] <gandalfcome> I have trouble installing the development packages for xserver under 8.10: http://paste.ubuntu.com/119927/ please help
[03:48] <kdub> gandalfcome: use aptitude to check for broken packages
[03:48] <rbil> kitche: only version 2 offered is the one that just upgraded
[03:49] <gandalfcome> kdub: I used synaptic to fix broken packages. but it didnt do anything
[03:50] <Scunizi> TruthTac1: nope. works good  k3b amorak etc
[03:50] <TruthTac1> thanks
[03:50] <supertanker> Anyone have any luck getting an SB Augidy 4 to play .midi files?
[03:50] <supertanker> I'm not having any.
[03:50] <kitche> rbil: then your stuck at that version since it was a security update but you can probably find a package on many of the third party repos
[03:50] <kdub> use aptitude to do that. i dont know how good synaptic is
[03:50] <rbil> kitche: any chance u can give me a url?
[03:50] <eigma> does anyone know of a tool like netselect-apt, but for Ubuntu 8.10 Server? (must be command-line)
[03:51] <Scunizi> kdub: synaptic uses apt.  apt and aptitude are just as good..
[03:51] <genii> !info netselect-apt | eigma
[03:52] <genii> Ooooh they musta removed it
[03:52] <kdub> Scunizi: for detecting broken packages though?
[03:52] <Scunizi> eigma: what does netselect-apt do ?
[03:52] <Scunizi> kdub: yes
[03:52] <genii> Scunizi: It gets entire mirror list then figures which one is best
[03:52]  * kdub yields to Scunizi's greater apt-knowledge
[03:52] <eigma> Scunizi: it fetches a list of Debian mirrors, measures latency to each of them, then give you the best mirror
[03:52] <kitche> rbil: I do not have an url to a package
[03:53] <eigma> Scunizi: some argue that latency is not a good predictor of throughput, but it's a good start
[03:53] <Scunizi> genii: eigma "it"?? you mean aptitude? synaptic will examine the repos for the best as well.
[03:53] <eigma> Scunizi: I was answering your question. "it" refers to "netselect-apt"
[03:53] <balrog__> how do i show the number of current apache connections?
[03:53] <Sypher> hi all
[03:56] <rbil> kitche: this appears to be working ... sudo apt-get install firefox=2.0.0.6,2nobinonly-0ubuntu1
[03:56] <xxcue> should i get a dell ubuntu box or build one myself?
[03:57] <rbil> kitche: launched, i'll see if it seg faults like the update did. thanks muchly
[03:57] <kdub> xxcue: either way works
[03:58] <xxcue> i would build one but all the listings of hardware is dated
[03:59] <kitche> rbil: ok my shell got disconnected so I had to reconnect
[04:00] <supertanker> Whats the package that makes command-line programs that generate sound play through ALSA?
[04:01] <Scunizi> eigma: ah.. sorry .. I was in one of those proverbial apt vs. aptitude threads..:)..
[04:02] <Scunizi> eigma: it's an interesting question..synaptic has an option that will examine the repos and pic the fastest.. not sure what backend process it's useing though..I've got a gui so I'll look and see if I can locate anything.
[04:02] <eigma> Scunizi: thanks
[04:03] <ENERGIZE> hi i was just wondering how to get frostwire to work on ubuntu 8.04

[04:03] <hlm> RockmanFL, your html is not very effective in IRC
[04:03] <RockmanFL> LOL
[04:04] <hlm> RockmanFL, are you trying to make linux shared folders or windows shared folders?
[04:04] <RockmanFL> both
[04:04] <hlm> RockmanFL, did you already make a windows home or small business network?
[04:04] <RockmanFL> yes
[04:05] <hlm> RockmanFL, can ubuntu find the windows network?
[04:05] <Mox`> hi, what's wrong with my dhcpd.conf? :S -> http://paste-it.net/public/q3d9625/
[04:05] <RockmanFL> the connection settings say it is connected to the network and all machines will ping each other
[04:06] <RockmanFL> The windows network folder in ubuntu is blank and the root/home that is shared with samba does not show on either windows machine
[04:06] <Scunizi> eigma: sorry I didn't find anything of note.. if you apt-cache search apt you'll see the same list of packages I did.. If you aptitude.. you can search graphically from terminal.
[04:06] <krono2k3> hey cansome help me i have a samba dc setup but im having issues adding workstations to the domain
[04:07] <hlm> RockmanFL, im assuming you know how to make folders shared, correct?

[04:10] <allquixotic> Is there a way to tell grub to boot a different kernel on the next reboot _only_, and (regardless of whether it succeeds or fails to boot) go back to the way it was on the next reboot? I want to test a new kernel on a remote system and I have no out-of-band management, so if it can't at least start up sshd, I'm pretty hosed.
[04:10] <fr500> ninom: did you create a different /home partition?
[04:10] <constantine_> hey the cairo dock guys are out to lunch, anybody know how to fix it when it *disappears*
[04:10] <genii> !ot
[04:10] <ninom> fr500 i do not understand that answer i am sorry.
[04:11] <ninom> i installed my ubuntu on my 300gig harddrive no partitions
[04:11] <RockmanFL> hlm:thank you.. have been reading on ways to solve this for about 10 hours over past week...the forum is kind of a last resort
[04:11] <ninom> only one partition
[04:11] <Scunizi> ninom: well really 2.. you had to have created a swap as well even if you weren't aware of it.
[04:12] <core1> jonni
[04:12] <fr500> ninom: ok type df -H and paste into pastebin
[04:12] <ninom> scunizi when i installed it i deleted all windows files and installed fresh ubuntu, i am not really understanding ubuntu as you do so you are probably right there is a swap

[04:14] <hlm> Myrtti, other than FloodBot1 ofcourse
[04:14] <hlm> RockmanFL, I cannot find the problem, I would recommend posting on the forums...
[04:14] <peer`> I think having an op in here would be counter-intuitive to what the ubuntu community is about
[04:14] <Scunizi> peer`: an op bot?  or bott op? .. no there's others around

[04:16] <jove_> Hi All, does anyone know how to convert .toast file to ISO file ?
[04:16] <ninom> i love ubuntu i think its so much better but when you use windows for 12 years and you switch its a bit of a problem if you know what i mean
[04:16] <hlm> peer`, thats not a question, and I dont understand your statement
[04:16] <Imunalia> Has anyone successfully installed the latest ATI drivers into hardy?
[04:16] <RockmanFL> hlm: will do...thanks
[04:16] <Myrtti> ninom: you'll get there eventually :-)
[04:16] <hlm> ninom, ofcourse it takes a little bit to get used to
[04:17] <peer`> ninom i was a windows fanboy for a long time too
[04:17] <hlm> RockmanFL, im sorry I couldnt assist you :-(
[04:17] <peer`> ubuntu is pretty easy to use if I'm honest
[04:17] <Sw3RvE> grrr
[04:17] <donavan> anyone done a software raid ?
[04:17] <Sw3RvE> i cant get this dock to work Myrtti :(
[04:17] <usser> Imunalia, well yea just today
[04:18] <hlm> donavan, what is that?
[04:18] <ninom> i know everything thats new takes time to learn. i have a big problem learning all the commands, and i am so used to going onto my cd driver programs etc so in ubuntu i get confused
[04:18] <fr500> i still use windows for gaming it is
[04:18] <Sw3RvE> im trying to change one to open pidgin...
[04:18] <xxcue> total ubuntu newbie here
[04:18] <donavan> hlm: are you asking what a software RAID is ?
[04:18] <RockmanFL> hlm: no problem, I will let you know the solution when I find it..take care
[04:18] <hlm> RockmanFL, yes, okay best of luck to you!
[04:19] <Myrtti> Sw3RvE: did you install the plugins?
[04:19] <hlm> donavan, I know what a raid is, but when used with software I get totally lost :-\
[04:19] <Sw3RvE> plugins?
[04:19] <ninom> and whoever invented compiz should be awarded some kind of an award
[04:19] <Sw3RvE> what plugins
[04:19] <slimer> hi
[04:19] <hlm> slimer, do you have a question?
[04:19] <Scunizi> ninom: in a way he has.. most distros now use compiz and follow the updates.
[04:19] <Scunizi> xxcue: welcome
[04:20] <Imunalia> did you do it the hard way or via hardware manager?
[04:20] <ninom> compiz is amazing
[04:20] <ninom> especially for me cuz i work on a lot of windows
[04:20] <usser> Imunalia, from ati's site
[04:20] <Buttons6> does anyone know why some items on my pannel cannot be moved?
[04:20] <donavan> hlm: ahh got you ... apparently you can use a program called mdadm with linux ... (windows has its own)  I have a raid 5 setup with 4 disks  but I am following direction on a web site and one of the commands is screaming that I dont have permissions to edit a file using the sudo command
[04:20] <Imunalia> yes, I am having no end of frustration tonight
[04:21] <Scunizi> ninom: you'll discover more power and flexibility here than with windows.
[04:21] <IndyGunFreak> Buttons6: right click them, is "lock to panel" checked....
[04:21] <hlm> donavan, oh, the raid driver thingy
[04:21] <hlm> donavan, I get it now!
[04:21] <hlm> I must go now, I am required elsewhere
[04:21] <Buttons6> thanks indy
[04:21] <ninom> scunizi, i am eager to learn. i ve already discared my windows. and everyday i learn something new i told all my friends to get ubuntu too
[04:22] <donavan> hlm:  yeah I built a system just for a raid array ... basically a DIY NAS box
[04:22] <Scunizi> ninom: good.. you'll be their guru
[04:22] <Imunalia> once you get used to it its great
[04:22] <LucasMartinho> Alguem Fala portugues?
[04:22] <Sessiz> hi
[04:22] <usser> Imunalia, should be easy, you have to have build-essential package installed, headers for your kernel, you have to blacklist ubuntu's proprietary modules. also you have to run the installer from text mode
[04:22] <ninom> and you guys on this chat are my gurus. i am going back to watch lakers and golden state i appreciate everyones help and have a great night.
[04:22] <Scunizi> !pt
[04:23] <Myrtti> Sw3RvE: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CairoDock
[04:23] <LucasMartinho> que?
[04:23] <Scunizi> !pt | LucasMartinho
[04:23] <Imunalia> K, would you have time to help walk me through it?
[04:23] <Sw3RvE> where are the plugins?
[04:24] <usser> Imunalia, sure just prepend your sentences with my name so its easier to read
[04:24] <Sw3RvE> am i on step 1 ?
[04:24] <cedriczg> Hi there. Does enyone here know how to set up permissions for ntfs files (i.e. add permissions to others)?
[04:25] <constantine_> somebody should save all the chat in this room and write an ubuntu book....make millions
[04:25] <usser> Imunalia, i take it you found this guide alread https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI somewhere in the middle there's manual install walktrough
[04:25] <mattofak> @contantine: it would so quickly be out of date it wouldnt be worth it
[04:25] <Machine> constantine_, no one would read it ....
[04:26] <constantine_> mattofak: I was thinking of buying the pocket guide for ubuntu - not worth it?
[04:26] <Myrtti> constantine_: stay here for few months and you'd know it by heart :-)
[04:26] <mattofak> constantine: dont know, i've never picked it up
[04:26] <Imunalia> usser: yes I found it, got half way then got stonewalled by permissions
[04:26] <usser> Imunalia, what command failed with what error?
[04:27] <Sw3RvE> Myrtti i already have the dock installed...
[04:27] <mefisto__> constantine_: here it is. just print: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2009/02/19/%23ubuntu.html
[04:27] <Sw3RvE> im trying to put pidgin on it
[04:27] <Imunalia> usser ./ati-driver-installer-8.443.1-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/<version>
[04:28] <mattofak> question to all: I've a fresh install of x64 server (8.10) fully patched, and attempting to transfer some files to it via WinSCP, it always fails on files bigger than 14kb; yet if i transfer the same files to a different server (an 8.04 install) it works just fine; any ideas?
[04:28] <Machine> Imunalia: did you try to chmod them?
[04:28] <usser> Imunalia, thats the exact command latest driver is 9.1 or something so the command is different
[04:28] <usser> Imunalia, try it with sh ./ati-driver-installer-<VERSION GOES HERE>.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/hardy
[04:29] <WEW> Windows better....
[04:29] <Imunalia> usser have the right driver number, just copied the line from the FAQ
[04:30] <Myrtti> graah, my brain goes to sleep, Sw3RvE... best of luck in your attempts to get it work, I need sleep. It's past 0630 already here.
[04:30] <constantine_> how can I migrate some files from windows to ubuntu while inside ubuntu?
[04:30] <usser> Imunalia, and whats exact error?
[04:30] <Sw3RvE> alright. goodnight or morning
[04:30] <nullboy> constantine_: mount the windows ntfs partition using ntfs-3g
[04:30] <Scunizi> Imunalia: as a rule of thumb for nvidia you go into synaptic and uninstall / purge all references of nvidia that are installed.. then the downloaded driver needs to be installed from a TTY WITHOUT the gui running.. ATI is probably the same.
[04:30] <Imunalia> usser bash ati<junk>.run permission denied
[04:31] <usser> Imunalia, try it with sudo
[04:31] <Imunalia> K
[04:31] <usser> Imunalia, ie sudo ati.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/hardy
[04:31] <usser> Imunalia, sudo sh rather
[04:31] <Scunizi> sudo sh ./<filename>
[04:32] <tuxedocurly> Hey everyone! I have WINE installed on my ubuntu desktop Pc, but how do i make it emulate Vista?
[04:32] <WEW> The interface is more beautiful And it is more than software
[04:32] <tuxedocurly> is there a setting in WINE i need to change or a command in the terminal?
[04:32] <Myrtti> tuxedocurly: run winecfg
[04:32] <Imunalia> usser k, it unpacks the driver then stalls saying "eval: 1 ./ati-installer.sh: Permission Denied
[04:32] <Scunizi> tuxedocurly: you don't  most programs are designed for xp me 98 etc.. check winehq.com for windows compatibility with specific programs
[04:33] <Imunalia> got this far before, but don't know how do sudo the program the unpacker calls
[04:33] <Scunizi> Imunalia: sudo chmod 777 <ati_driver_name>
[04:33] <tuxedocurly> Alright, so its automatic?
[04:33] <tuxedocurly> oh wait nvm
[04:33] <tuxedocurly> there we got
[04:33] <Machine> Who owns the files Imunalia?
[04:33] <tuxedocurly> THANKS
[04:33] <Scunizi> Imunalia: sudo chmod +x <ati_driver_name>
[04:34] <usser> Imunalia, well thats weird, where you running it from? your home directory?
[04:34] <Imunalia> I do
[04:34] <Imunalia> LOL, joking
[04:34] <Imunalia> the current user does
[04:34] <Machine> maybe try a recursive  chown and/or chmod on the file?
[04:35] <Imunalia> machine do I want the current user to own it, or do I make root own it
[04:36] <Scunizi> Imunalia: sudo chown <your_username>:<your_username> <filename>
[04:37] <Machine> well with my experiences the current user can use it, just make sure you use sudo before executing it again. Now since it is a hardware driver, it  might require you to run as root using 'su root'  etc.
[04:38] <Machine> just make sure you log out of r00t when you are done :D
[04:38] <Cpudan80> Machine: the correct way to run as root is sudo -i
[04:38] <Scunizi> Machine: ubuntu doesn't use su root.. ubuntu uses sudo
[04:38] <Cpudan80> ## Warning: Running a root terminal is not advised ##
[04:38] <Scunizi> If the driver need to build then you also have to install build-essential
[04:38] <VieQ> Hi all, I have noticed something but I am not sure of
[04:38] <Imunalia> yes, badness happens
[04:39] <Machine> right i understand that, however ... some scripts check for root status before completing the cycle
[04:39] <Machine> and even ubuntu can su root....
[04:39] <VieQ> When I was running 8.04.2 Could't install some apps from the repo's untill I upgraded to 8.10
[04:40] <Myrtti> Machine: but it's not adviceable
[04:40] <Scunizi> Machine: not these driver files.. but headers and build-essential might be necessary to compile the kernel mod
[04:40] <Imunalia> K, it worked now after I moved it from the desktop to my homefolder
[04:40] <Machine> I agree :)
[04:40] <mattofak> VieQ, did apt throw an error back at you?
[04:41] <VieQ> yes
[04:41] <Daft_Punk> My wireless with WPA and WP2 encryption keeps cutting out on intrepid (i upgraded from hardy). I have it set to WEP and it works fine but I want to use WPA2
[04:41] <tuxedocurly> hey guys. How do i launch a CD using WINE? (so that it is recognized as an XP system and the CD installs)
[04:41] <VieQ> missing deps Couldn't be found
[04:41] <mattofak> VieQ, did you run an apt-get update before you attempted to install?
[04:42] <Imunalia> Thanks all
[04:42] <Daft_Punk> tuxedocurly, you can't install XP with wine
[04:42] <VieQ> yes :)
[04:42] <Scunizi> tuxedocurly: what are you trying to install?
[04:42] <tuxedocurly> Daft_Punk: im not trying to install XP mate, im trying to run a CD that only installs on the XP OS, so is there any way to LAUNCH the CD so that the CD will see the system as being XP, not ubuntu?
[04:42] <Daft_Punk> tuxedocurly, sorry i think i misunderstood, you can open the CD to reveal data and make sure the setup.exe or the launching .exe file is set to open with WINE by default and try running the .exe file
[04:43] <tuxedocurly> Scunizi: a game
[04:43] <Scunizi> tuxedocurly: What game?
[04:43] <tuxedocurly> Daft_Punk: alright ill try that mate thanks!
[04:43] <tuxedocurly> Scunizi: Halo 2 mate
[04:43] <Daft_Punk> tuxedocurly, then with wine settings make sure it is set to emulate XP, if it still doesnt work, check the wine HQ to see if that program/game is compatible with wine
[04:43]  * Imunalia dances
[04:43] <VieQ> I just wanted to stick with LTS but the system seemed to like normal release
[04:43] <tuxedocurly> Scunizi: i hear it doesnt work worth crap, but i must try
[04:43] <mattofak> VieQ, just thought I'd make sure, i'm guessing canonical added another couple repo's to the apt config; or you were attempting to update packages that the core system needed
[04:44] <mattofak> what exactly were you attempting to install
[04:44] <Scunizi> tuxedocurly: then you're in for an adventure.. :)  good luck
[04:44] <VieQ> You have gotta rephrase that sentence so I make sure I fully understood it
[04:44] <yuri_> QQ: phpmyadmin is accessed as localhost/phpmyadmin, right?
[04:45] <night-wm> i need some help here, im having some mouse problems with ubuntu
[04:45] <Scunizi> tuxedocurly: doesn't work isn't the half of it.. google "
[04:46] <mattofak> vieq: sorry; two possibilities in my mind: a) with the update to 8.10, some more repositories were added to the apt configuration, or b) the packages you were attempting to update are system packages (though thats unlikely since an explicit install should tell apt to piss off)
[04:46] <Scunizi> tuxedocurly: google " halo2 wine ubuntu" and you'll see all kinds of threads about it.
[04:46] <sebsebseb>  
[04:46] <tuxedocurly> Scunizi: yeah.. damn ><
[04:47] <tuxedocurly> Scunizi: maybe someone will come out with a patch of some sort in the near future ;]
[04:47] <nanotube> night-wm: no worries, you're in irc now, you don't need a mouse. :) (j/k)
[04:47] <night-wm> =P
[04:47] <VieQ> well Pidgin is not a system package, & I may have enabled some repos from those are added by default
[04:48] <night-wm> basically my mouse is completely unresponsive
[04:48] <Huufarted> Any way to use qtparted to format a partition FAT32?
[04:48] <nanotube> night-wm: usb?
[04:49] <DIFH-iceroot> Huufarted: sure
[04:49] <night-wm> Logitech G5, usb
[04:49] <nanotube> night-wm: did it use to work, and suddenly stopped? or what happened to bring this on?
[04:49] <shoterboyx> raylz where y
[04:49] <mattofak> good call; pidgen eh... thats wierd, something I can't explain because thats definitly in the default repos
[04:49] <shoterboyx> wher u
[04:49] <night-wm> nah, i just recently installed ubuntu.  it hasn'
[04:49] <Huufarted> DIFH-iceroot: I only get the option for FAT16.  Not sure why.
[04:50] <night-wm> it hasn't worked ever
[04:50] <nanotube> night-wm: but it works just fine on other os/othercomputer/otherusbport ?
[04:50] <VieQ> I have noticed this since I tend all the time to install new apps from time to time
[04:50] <Huufarted> DIFH-iceroot: As many files that I'm going to have on the partitionn, FAT32 will give me a TON more free space
[04:50] <nanotube> night-wm: just trying to make sure the mouse isn't dead :)
[04:50] <night-wm> works fine in windows xp
[04:50] <VieQ> If I am using normal release every thing works fine
[04:50] <Scunizi> night-wm: logitech isn't always the most friendly mfgr
[04:50] <DIFH-iceroot> Huufarted: hm, i dont have gparted here but i am sure there is a fat32 option
[04:51] <Huufarted> Hmmmmm....
[04:51] <racecar-56> help, i accidentally added a password but i have to remove it, what i do?
[04:51] <Imunalia> so ATI driver has totally bunged my system
[04:51] <night-wm> it even worked when i had mandriva installed on my comp
[04:51] <mattofak> well, on a vanilla system that i just happen to be installing anyways, (its server x64 8.04.2) pidgin install just peachy
[04:51] <Huufarted> DIFH-iceroot: any other suggestions for repartitioning without fresh formats?
[04:51] <Scunizi> DIFH-iceroot: sudo apt-get install gparted. and it will show up in system>Admin>partition manager
[04:51] <ScottG489> s2disk: Could not stat the resume device file. Reason: No such file or directory
[04:51] <nanotube> night-wm: well, from what i'm seeing on google, the logitech g5 should work out of the box - it may have some buttons that require extra config, but the basic mousing should work...
[04:52] <racecar-56> for me it was menu>system tools>partition manager
[04:52] <DIFH-iceroot> Scunizi: thx but i dont need it
[04:52] <racecar-56> i accidentally added a password but i have to remove it, what i do?
[04:52] <Scunizi> k
[04:52] <nanotube> night-wm: does the light light up when you plug it in, at least?
[04:52] <night-wm> yeah it's lit up and everything
[04:52] <nanotube> night-wm: does it show up when you run "lsusb" ?
[04:52] <night-wm> it worked on the LiveCD
[04:53] <night-wm> gonna have to bear with me, i'm fairly new to linux lol
[04:53] <num1fng> I need some help with open office.. every time I hit the space bar or enter I get these weird symbols what r they and how do i turn them off
[04:53] <shameless> is there a way to resize the backgrounds or control the way they are displayed while i've got nautilus disabled and instead using compiz advanced desktops settings?
[04:53] <night-wm> where do i run lsusb
[04:53] <shameless> terminal
[04:53] <racecar-56> i accidentally added a password but i have to remove it, what i do?
[04:53] <CITguy08> I know it was stupid, but I "deluser root". How do I get it back?
[04:53] <racecar-56> if u know then IM me please
[04:54] <Scunizi> num1fng: might be a video issue...depends on your card and the current driver being used.
[04:54] <VieQ> mattofak, like I said I have noticed this since along time
[04:54] <Daft_Punk> What is a good tray program for linux besides trayer? I heard trayer was obsolete and not being updated anymore.
[04:54] <night-wm> nanotube: yeah, it does show up in lsusb
[04:54] <racecar-56> im as in pm
[04:55] <fr500> Daft_Punk: tray program?
[04:55] <VieQ> even lately I had a Friend how could not install many thing until he upgraded to normal release
[04:55] <Daft_Punk> fr500, a program for your tray icons...
[04:55] <racecar-56> how do i remove a password from a user on ubuntu server
[04:55] <fr500> Daft_Punk: programs appear on the tray by default, what do you mean?
[04:56] <Scunizi> racecar-56: you remove the user
[04:56] <Flannel> racecar-56: What sort of removal?
[04:56] <Daft_Punk> fr500, a tray program... a program to RUN the tray, like trayer, but not trayer
[04:56] <sebsebseb> racecar-56: well in normal ubuntu to change the password you can:  sudo passwd username
[04:56] <mattofak> vieq: its something ive not experianced, nor know how to diagnose; it almost sounds like theres something in your additional repos that's conflicting; have you tried installing it without those repos enabled?
[04:56] <VieQ> Nobe
[04:57] <fr500> Daft_Punk: sorry man I don't understand, gnome has a tray icon are already
[04:57] <sebsebseb> racecar-56: to change the password
[04:57] <nanotube> night-wm: can you see what's in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[04:57] <shredder12> I m having a weird problem while installing certain packages using synaptic.. I had jst installed intrepid.. and have updated it as well and when i tried to download linuxdcpp i got the following error..      http://paste.ubuntu.com/119951/   How do i install linuxdcpp now..?? Help please...!!
[04:57] <Daft_Punk> fr500, well i do not know how to explain it better sorry, its a tray program, do you know what trayer is? i want a program like trayer but up-to-date and not obsolete
[04:57] <nanotube> night-wm: anything about mouse?
[04:58] <shameless> interesting problem, whenever I log on, it usually takes about 3 tries before I actually get gnome to start appearing. I usually have to go to a different terminal and reboot the system until I can log on properly. Have any ideas as to what the cause is?
[04:58] <night-wm> nanotube: yeah i actually made some changes to it after searching through some forums
[04:58] <fr500> Daft_Punk: let me google it
[04:58] <night-wm> nanotube: let me bring it up
[04:58] <VieQ> mattofak, I know this would not be the appropriate channel to say this
[04:58] <VieQ> But is n't ubuntu repo's compatible with Debian?
[04:59] <Daft_Punk> fr500, http://celettu.wordpress.com/2008/09/09/tint2-trayer/
[04:59] <adrock> Hey, sorry for being on the wrong channel. but i am really looking for an irc channel where i can get books.  anybody know?  Thank you.
[04:59] <lstarnes> VieQ: not completely
[04:59] <shameless> adrock: google
[04:59] <maxime> adrock: : undernet
[04:59] <VieQ> hmm, Compared to debian which is most up2date
[04:59] <mattofak> vieq; in general principle yes; obviously ubuntu is a derivitave of, but ubuntu doesnt support all of debian, and has also updated a lot of debians packages
[04:59] <sebsebseb> adrock: what kind of books?
[04:59] <Scunizi> VieQ: sort of.,. you shouldn't use debian repos mainly because a lot of the packages are changed slightly.. install locations and other things dealing with different security implimentations etc..
[05:00] <fr500> Daft_Punk: so you want a tray area without the default gnome panels ?
[05:00] <adrock> shameless; google?  you can get e-books?
[05:00] <shredder12> any help with this problem..  http://paste.ubuntu.com/119951/
[05:00] <Daft_Punk> fr500, i dont use gnome panels, i am using trayer right now but the icon backgrounds aren't transparent like they should be, since the intrepid update, and someone told me trayer is no longer being updated and its obsolete
[05:00] <shameless> adrock: if you know where to look, yes. try demonoid
[05:01] <adrock> maxime; Yes!  that's the one I was at a long time ago.  Thank you so much!
[05:01] <Daft_Punk> fr500, so basically i want a program like trayer that is current and being updated in the near future and has support
[05:01] <night-wm> nanotube: alright i have my xorg.conf up
[05:01] <VieQ> I have no problems with doing updates every night if I had to, but this is kinda the system is leading me not I am leading the system
[05:01] <adrock> shameless:  Thank you, man.
[05:01] <jove_> Does anyone know what program of Ubuntu to convert mp3 to wav file
[05:01] <VieQ> I do not know how to explain it more
[05:01] <fr500> Daft_Punk: i see, no idea sorry
[05:02] <Daft_Punk> fr500, i figured as much, but thats ok, thanks anyways
[05:02] <qcjn> hi,in my updates i have about 5 "that can't update" and it's feisty related. Is it that those repository are to old ??
[05:02] <Daft_Punk> What is a good tray program for linux besides trayer? I heard trayer was obsolete and not being updated anymore.
[05:02] <mattofak> i think what you're seeing actually is the ubuntu repo fighting with the upstream debian ones, theres probably some odd dependency that canonical took out
[05:03] <VieQ> no no, I do not have any debian repo's
[05:03] <ScottG489> s2disk: Could not stat the resume device file. Reason: No such file or directory
[05:03] <Bsims> I can't get konversation to use system bell as a notificaton in 4.2 on Intrepe
[05:03] <VieQ> I was just "if it's recommended" gonna make a switch
[05:03] <racecar-56> dang when i add a user called temp it dosent let me log into it
[05:03] <sebsebseb> Bsims: wrong channel try #kubuntu
[05:04] <racecar-56> nvm im going to #ubuntu-server
[05:04] <qcjn> mattofak: woho we re you adressing to?
[05:04] <mattofak> vieq
[05:04] <nanotube> night-wm: well, paste it in the pastebin and i'll look...
[05:04] <VieQ> I was gonna install debian with ubuntu repo's
[05:04] <shredder12> i m getting an error saying "Size mismatch" while trying to install linuxdcpp using synaptic.. any hint.. how to get rid of this problem..
[05:04] <Bsims> sebsebseb: trying there too but no reason to be a male genitalia about it
[05:04] <night-wm> nanotube: right now i have something pretty generic
[05:04] <sebsebseb> VieQ: that's not a good idea, if it's even possible
[05:05] <John`A> hey
[05:05] <nanotube> night-wm: well are you using driver evdev or driver mouse, for your mouse?
[05:05] <sebsebseb> VieQ: if you want Debian get real Debian or something such as Sidux
[05:05] <John`A> anyone here use zinc yahoo client???
[05:05] <night-wm> nanotube: right now the driver is mouse
[05:05] <VieQ> sebsebseb, that's what I ment
[05:05] <night-wm> nanotube: originally it was evdev
[05:05] <Borgir> Running ubuntu installation file on win makes a dual boot when the system restarts. Hoy can I get rid of this dual boot screen?
[05:06] <nanotube> night-wm: tell me what version of ubuntu?
[05:06] <VieQ> I was going to use Debian 5.0 plus ubuntu repos for unknown reason :)
[05:06] <racecar-56> i need to make a user to su to root and delete a user that was formerly the only one and then use root to make it again with no password, what to do?
[05:06] <night-wm> nanotube: 8.04
[05:06] <sebsebseb> VieQ:  so you  want a real Debian distro?
[05:06] <vish> could someone please tell me how to mute my internal laptop speaker? ive muted it in sounds and in compiz as well.
[05:06] <VieQ> but I still have not decided yet
[05:06] <VieQ> sebsebseb, yes..
[05:06] <nanotube> night-wm: hm, well... see if any of this helps: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-766325.html
[05:06] <sebsebseb> VieQ: Google Sidux,  I still haven't tried that in a virtual machine, but  a  guy who helped me out with Ubuntu when I was a lot more newbie,  uses Sidux
[05:06] <sebsebseb> or used whatever
[05:07] <sebsebseb> VieQ: Sidux then you get the latest Debian stuff, but in a stable OS
[05:07] <Scunizi> racecar-56: if you make a use with no password you open your system to anything.. also you may experience weird things happening
[05:07] <VieQ> Debian 5.0 is the latest stable debian
[05:07] <sebsebseb> VieQ: uh something just now made me sound like Ubuntu newbie ha ha,  I been with Ubuntu since second release, and used Fedora Core 2 and 4 before this
[05:08] <sebsebseb> VieQ: as well as Knoppix and such on Live CD
[05:08] <Bsims> anyone else use konversation I got some questions, I can't get system bell to work and up arrow doesn't repeat
[05:08] <Nekomancer> Knoppix was/is awesome
[05:08] <hlm> how do I add more languages to my ubuntu? (in synaptics)
[05:08] <sebsebseb> Bsims: I use Konversation ,but in Gnome/Ubuntu
[05:08] <John`A> the gdebi package installer doesnt work
[05:08] <VieQ> I have been using OpenBSD Since 3.7 tell 4.3 if that means any thing!
[05:08] <vish> could someone please tell me how to mute my internal laptop speaker? ive muted it in sounds and in compiz as well.
[05:08] <sebsebseb> VieQ: ok well then try Sidux out for sure
[05:08] <night-wm> nanotube: i actually tried those already and it was still unresponsive
[05:09] <chaines> hlm: Have you tried this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=129506
[05:09] <Bsims> sebsebseb: can you get it to ding the system bell on each message?
[05:09] <hlm> chaines, no, I havent ;-)
[05:09] <VieQ> Gonna make some testing & some googleing
[05:09] <sebsebseb> Bsims: I don't know what you mean
[05:09] <sebsebseb> Bsims: Flash on messages in red, if I don't have the client in front of me?
[05:09] <vish> why are people talking about open bsd in #ubuntu if i may ask?
[05:09] <fr500> hey anyone with an intel atom here?
[05:09] <VieQ> meips seemed fine for a while
[05:09] <Smurfie> I've hooked up my phone to my computer... but how do I find the stuff on my phone on the comp?
[05:09] <nanotube> night-wm: well, i'm out of ideas then... see if anyone else here can come up with something :)
[05:09] <christopher> is it possible to use an hdmi cable for video+sound ?
[05:10] <John`A> who knows vish
[05:10] <sebsebseb> vish: talking about our experience with Unix OS's
[05:10] <chaines> hlm: well, try that, and come back if you have any problems :)
[05:10] <VieQ> it's both unstable deb plus some Sidux
[05:10] <Bsims> sebsebseb: you know the ding from the computer itself when you boot? I want that to ring when I get a new message
[05:10] <sebsebseb> VieQ: yeah something like that, but it's meant to be pretty good
[05:10] <night-wm> nanotube: lol alright
[05:10] <sebsebseb> Bsims: not sure about that one
[05:10] <Sw3RvE> Question - What is the command for the Home folder?
[05:10] <hlm> chaines, am I allowed to comeback if its exactly what I wanted? :-)  THANKS!
[05:10] <chaines> Smurfie: what do you mean?
[05:10] <cedriczg> Sw3RvE, cd
[05:10] <sebsebseb> Sw3RvE: /home/username
[05:11] <VieQ> never liked this much, it's this thing with ubuntu I needed to ask about
[05:11] <nanotube> night-wm: good luck:)
[05:11] <VieQ> it's odd but harmless
[05:11] <cedriczg> Sw3RvE, or cd ~
[05:11] <Sw3RvE> ok so for a dock on the bottom of my screen. its asking for the command...
[05:11] <nanotube> VieQ: so, what is it? i'm dying of suspense here :)
[05:11] <sebsebseb> VieQ: well  I guess you could try, but something odd would happen I expect, if you added proper Debian repos
[05:11] <brutus> Hi, i have 2 game setup iso files....I mounted disk 1 onto /media/cdrom...installed a part of the game....now its asking for disk 2...i unmounted disk1 and mounted disk 2 onto the same /media/cdrom but it doesn't seem to recognize it
[05:11] <Sw3RvE> so i put cd?
[05:11] <Scunizi> VieQ: if you want debian 5 to try .. install it in virtualbox
[05:12] <VieQ> Scunizi, good Idea
[05:12] <Dracie> anyone having issues with watching southpark episodes online?
[05:12] <sebsebseb> Scunizi: I was going ot say about VM's to
[05:12] <Dracie> http://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes/ see if you guys can I can't
[05:12] <constantine_> hi I'm noticing that my AVI files look very grainy, without converting them, how can I get this to look better?
[05:12] <sebsebseb> Dracie: you have Flash installed?
[05:12] <VieQ> nanotube, if you scrolled the screen looking for what I typed you 'll know what I was asking about
[05:12] <vish> could someone please tell me how to mute my internal laptop speaker? ive muted it in sounds and in compiz as well.
[05:12] <Sw3RvE> cd doesnt work
[05:12] <cedriczg> Sw3RvE, if what you are asking about is the path for your home folder youu should put /home/yourusername
[05:12] <fr500> constantine_: should look the same as in anything
[05:12] <Ryan_Chau> hi, I am having trouble connecting to the internet on my ubuntu computer i was wondering if anyone could help me?
[05:13] <Dracie> sebsebseb, yup, latest adobe flash in repo
[05:13] <kitche> vish: just blacklist the module that's what I usually do
[05:13] <cedriczg> Sw3RvE, 'cd' is the command you can type from a terminal to go to your home folder
[05:13] <sebsebseb> Ryan_Chau: hardwired or wireless?
[05:13] <vish> kitche how do i do that?
[05:13] <nanotube> VieQ: i scrolled... but i gave up trying to find it. :)
[05:13] <Sw3RvE> i need "the command to launch on click" for Cairo-Dock.
[05:13] <Ryan_Chau> hardwired
[05:13] <Sw3RvE> its a specific question...
[05:13] <sebsebseb> Ryan_Chau: that's odd should just work then
[05:13] <sebsebseb> !ethernet
[05:13] <constantine_> fr500: I was using windows media player and it was dvd quality, now in totem it looks VERY pixelated
[05:14] <Ryan_Chau> is there any commands i should type?
[05:14] <chaines> vish: are you talking about an actual speaker, or just system beep?
[05:14] <Ryan_Chau> i got the wireless working fine on my laptop
[05:14] <Smurfie> I mean that I'm trying to put media onto my computer from my phone
[05:14] <cedriczg> Sw3RvE, I just started reading the thread so I am not sure what you are trying to do
[05:14] <Scunizi> constantine_: totem can be strange.. try mplayer or vlc
[05:14] <Ryan_Chau> but on the pc i can' get the wire to work
[05:14] <fr500> constantine_: same video file for real?
[05:14] <VieQ> nanotube, " I just wanted to stick with LTS but the system seemed to like normal release "
[05:14] <vish> system beep chaines
[05:14] <kitche> vish: edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add blacklist pcspkr to it
[05:14] <Sw3RvE> im using Cairo-Dock
[05:14] <Dracie> I like totem since it uses gstreamer
[05:14] <sebsebseb> Ryan_Chau: make sure the  wire does not have a cut or anything in it, and that it's plugged in,  one little cut and it's damaged that's it
[05:14] <constantine_> fr500: yes exactly I mounted my ntfs
[05:14] <VieQ> aight guys thanks for the help sebsebseb , Scunizi
[05:14] <fr500> constantine_: maybe some postprocessing filter on wmp
[05:14] <imaginativeone> how do I find my path to firefox?
[05:14] <Sw3RvE> its a dock that looks like Mac's Dock. I need a command that will launch the application when i click it once.
[05:14] <Ryan_Chau> the wire works
[05:15] <Dracie> imaginativeone, whereis firefox
[05:15] <nanotube> imaginativeone: "which firefox"
[05:15] <Scunizi> Dracie: that's like saying I like Honda's 'cause they take regular gas
[05:15] <Ryan_Chau> when i highlight network icon
[05:15] <Sw3RvE> i got it to work for firefox, pidgin, and terminal so far...
[05:15] <Dracie> oh oops
[05:15] <Ryan_Chau> on the top i says manually config
[05:15] <imaginativeone> thanks
[05:15] <Ryan_Chau> but that's about it
[05:15] <Ryan_Chau> it won't let me see
[05:15] <Ryan_Chau> network information
[05:15] <Dracie> Scunizi, lolz its just a nice universal framework
[05:15] <FloodBot1> Ryan_Chau: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:15] <Ryan_Chau> that part is grayed out
[05:15] <cedriczg> Sw3RvE, what do you type from terminal?
[05:16] <Smurfie> Any ideas chaines?
[05:16] <Sw3RvE> to open terminal via the dock?
[05:16] <cedriczg> Sw3RvE, are you trying to do the same using a launch button on your panel?
[05:16] <Sw3RvE> xfce4-terminal
[05:16] <chaines> smurfie: try googling bitpim.
[05:16] <Smurfie> Ok.. thank you
[05:17] <Lounge> hello im looking for the Jaunty channel if there's one here

[05:17] <qcjn> in a ubuntu forum, someone says just to change in the repository "edgy for feisty" is that right ? and can i do that "feisty for hardy"
[05:17] <sebsebseb> twain: which graphics?
[05:17] <Scunizi> Dracie: when I use totem the movie's are always colored strangely.. mplayer renders correctly and so does vlc
[05:17] <Sw3RvE> VLC is awesome
[05:17] <twain> for photo and picture
[05:17] <sebsebseb> VLC LOL
[05:17] <Dracie> hmm I haven't noticed an issue
[05:17] <sebsebseb> Banshee Intrepid Ibex version :D
[05:17] <cedriczg> Sw3RvE, the Dock you refer about is an application, right?
[05:17] <sebsebseb> VLC is good though to
[05:17] <Sw3RvE> yes
[05:18] <Sw3RvE> its called Cario-Dock
[05:18] <chaines> twain: do you just want a gnome theme that looks likes pclinuxos?
[05:18] <twain> yes
[05:18] <twain> is that gnome?  not KDE?
[05:18] <cedriczg> Sw3RvE, try to create a launch button and ask it to be run from terminal and see what you get
[05:18] <Sw3RvE> im a noob...
[05:19] <Sw3RvE> make an icon on the desktop to launch a program?
[05:19] <Sw3RvE> btw im using Xubuntu
[05:19] <cedriczg> Sw3RvE, yes. that's what you want, right?
[05:19] <Sw3RvE> yes
[05:19] <Sw3RvE> but
[05:19] <sebsebseb> Sw3RvE: Cario dock is meant to be good.  Xubuntu is a little odd in some ways unlike Ubuntu
[05:19] <Smurfie> chaines... there isn't a thing to download for ubuntu
[05:19] <chaines> twain: Sorry, you're right pclinuxos uses kde :)
[05:20] <Sw3RvE> yea i know but i like xubuntu better
[05:20] <Nathan1995> KDE4000 :)
[05:20] <cedriczg> Sw3RvE, then check to select the launch button as 'run from terminal' in the type combo box
[05:20] <KDE4000> lol
[05:20] <Sw3RvE> i still need to know the command to open the program either way to make a new icon on the desktop.
[05:20] <Nathan1995> :p
[05:20] <chaines> smurfie: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/bitpim/bitpim_1.0.6_i386.deb?download
[05:20] <twain> ok chaines so   do you think pclinusox is better?
[05:20] <sebsebseb> PCLinuxOS is a noobs distro as well :D
[05:20] <cedriczg> Sw3RvE, I see
[05:20] <chaines> twain: it's all about what you're looking for.
[05:21] <Sw3RvE> if i knew how to get programs on my desktop all i would have to do is right click and go to properties and id have what i need.
[05:21] <sebsebseb> GOS  or something now that looks nice, but can make Ubuntu look like that anyway
[05:21] <cedriczg> Sw3RvE, go to a terminal window
[05:21] <kinja-sheep> What's the correct way to use display:0 ?
[05:21] <cedriczg> Sw3RvE, and run: apropos dock
[05:21] <chaines> smurfie: DEB files are for all debian based distro's, of which Ubuntu is one :)
[05:21] <twain> ok but i cant install pclinisox it not work install i dont know why. so i instll ubuntu  it work.
[05:21] <rAUNCH> can some1 help me i cant seem to run some applications :<
[05:21] <Smurfie> Ohhh.. ok lol
[05:21] <sebsebseb> rAUNCH: which applications?
[05:21] <cedriczg> Sw3RvE, check if you see any command you would say it's your app
[05:22] <Smurfie> I wouldn't have a clue about this stuff.... I'm a major noob with Linux
[05:22] <Sw3RvE> http://paste.ubuntu.com/119967/
[05:22] <rAUNCH> seb, a file called pbsetup.run
[05:22] <spencercornyn> hi i need help installing the ubuntumatrix theme... any suggestion? http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/MatrixUbuntu?content=97423
[05:22] <chaines> Smurfie: as was everyone at one point. And, compared to most the people here, so am I :)
[05:22] <rAUNCH> tryed using "sudo sh file" in terminal and it didnt work
[05:22] <Smurfie> Lol
[05:23] <sebsebseb> rAUNCH: yeah runs are a pain
[05:23] <sebsebseb> rAUNCH: stupid propritary linux programs like to be in that format
[05:23] <maxime> how do I stick my alias permanently into the bash profile ?
[05:23] <twain> does anyone know how solve with pclinuxos for install? from cd?
[05:23] <chaines> twain: So, what makes you want to use PCLinuxOS, instead of Ubuntu?
[05:23] <cedriczg> Sw3RvE, then from your paste bin you should run command: cairo-dock
[05:23] <Dracie> it gives me a security error
[05:23] <michael_> anyone know what channel i'd go to for network/router info
[05:24] <twain> beacuse pclinuxos has everything on program ready..  ubuntu dont.
[05:24] <Smurfie> Well... now that I downloaded that thing.... where would it be? I have no idea...
[05:24] <constantine_> ooooh VLC is much better
[05:24] <Sw3RvE> why?
[05:24] <constantine_> thanks
[05:24] <Sw3RvE> i know how to run the dock
[05:24] <sebsebseb> twain: weell then run pclinuxos?
[05:24] <Sw3RvE> i need commands for programs to use them on the dock
[05:24] <cedriczg> Sw3RvE, on the launch button just add that command (no need to ask to be run from terminal)
[05:24] <maxime> how do I stock* my alias permanently into the bash profile ?
[05:24] <chris__> Does anyone know how to split a pipe, so input goes to two programs?
[05:24] <chaines> sebsebseb: he's having install trouble :)
[05:24] <chaines> twain: so, what's the problem that you're coming across during install?
[05:24] <cedriczg> Sw3RvE, mmm. Did you try: man cairo-dock already?
[05:25] <Sw3RvE> what are you talking about...
[05:25] <Sw3RvE> lol
[05:25] <cedriczg> Sw3RvE, run on terminal:  man cairo-dock
[05:25] <cedriczg> Sw3RvE, manual pages for the program
[05:25] <michael_> anyone know what channel i'd go to for network/router info
[05:25] <Sw3RvE> i can use the dock. i need launch commands for applications.
[05:25] <Huufarted> Question about backup over network:  What's the best way to back up a specific directory (large number of files, 200GB worth) over a network?  What program and what protocol?  I'd assume FTP.
[05:25] <Scunizi> michael_: you could ask here. or in ##linux
[05:25] <twain> yes.. but i have problem to run livecd before install to harddrive. on pclinusos
[05:25] <racecar-56> if anyone wants to help join #ubuntu-server
[05:25] <Sw3RvE> the dock is NOT the problem.
[05:25] <atom^x> Sw3RvE, what do you want to run from the dock?
[05:25] <fr500> michael ##networking maybe
[05:25] <Sw3RvE> Home
[05:26] <mjbraun> I have a kernel compilation question: I'm running Intrepid Ibex and have updated to the most recent kernel. Dmesg says it's Linux version 2.6.27-9.19-generic. What syntax do I use to patch my kernel source (2.6.27.9) to be identical to the version used to compile the stock kernel?
[05:26] <michael_> scunizi, thanks
[05:26] <Sw3RvE> the folder Home in Xubuntu
[05:26] <Bsims> How by the Kindly Ones can I get a plain system bell to work as a notification on KDE 4.2 on intrepid, surely this isn't an amazingly difficult thing to attempt
[05:26] <cedriczg> Sw3RvE, then I think I can't help you as I have never used that application. Try to find out from the manual pages
[05:26] <usser> Huufarted, ftp, samba, nfs, ssh, i'd say samba is the simplest one if you have windows machine that you save your stuff to
[05:26] <chaines> twain: but what problem? What happens when you try?
[05:26] <cedriczg> bye!
[05:26] <chaines> it's kinda hard to help with no details :)
[05:27] <mjbraun> And by patch, I mean by using "ketchup" to automagically do all the patching
[05:27] <chaines> mustard's better
[05:27] <Sw3RvE> atom^x would you happen to know the RUN command to launch the Home folder?
[05:27] <Huufarted> usser, it will be from a windows machine, but File and Print sharing have HORRID overhead and are 50% the speed of FTP.  I guess I'm looking more for a specific backup program that can do this
[05:27] <atom^x> Sw3RvE, well Thunar is the file manager for xubuntu
[05:27] <innnit> how do you get firefox to run java?
[05:28] <Smurfie> Uhh... I have another question...
[05:28] <qcjn> can i change in my repository "feisty to hardy" just erase feisty, and put hardy ?
[05:28] <michael_>  my internet seems terrible slow...i think one of the users on the network is hogging the bandwidth...is there any way to check?
[05:28] <twain> ok i put cd in then boot and click "run livecd" and say cant boot  i think need dieable on BIOS for ACDI something?
[05:28] <chaines> smurfie: what's up?
[05:28] <michael_>  i have admin access to the router
[05:28] <sebsebseb> innnit: 32bit or 64bit?
[05:28] <innnit> 32
[05:28] <innnit> seb: 32
[05:28] <Huufarted> usser, backup will be running on Ubuntu grabbing files from an XP machine with FTP capabilities
[05:28] <Smurfie> Now that I've downloaded the bitpim... where would it be?
[05:28] <atom^x> Sw3RvE, type thunar in a terminal to make sure it comes up
[05:28] <sebsebseb> innnit: ok that's easy enough
[05:28] <innnit> seb: I seem to install stuff, but nothing changes
[05:29] <sebsebseb> innnit: your answer is found here http://www.ubuntuguide.org
[05:29] <Sw3RvE> atom^x it comes up
[05:29] <michael_> anyone know a way to check which IP from a router is using the most bandwidth?
[05:29] <usser> Huufarted, yea samba is slow. but its easy to use, you can mount the share as local filesystem and just copy files over as if they were on the local computer, im not sure if ubuntu can mount ftp shares
[05:29] <innnit> seb*3: will check it out. TIA :)
[05:29] <atom^x> Sw3RvE, that is the command you need for the dock
[05:29] <Huufarted> usser, do you know of any applications that can handle incremental backups/
[05:29] <Smurfie> Dang it...
[05:30] <jose> alguien habla español?
[05:30] <Huufarted> usser, similar to rsync I suppose, but over FTP?
[05:30] <chaines> smurfie: Sorry, I have't been paying too much attention. Were you using firefox?
[05:30] <innnit> seb: Am using 8.04 ... is that still OK
[05:30] <sebsebseb> innnit: TIA what does that mean?
[05:30] <Smurfie> Yea
[05:30] <innnit> seb: Thanks in Advance
[05:30] <Smurfie> S'ok... I'm not paying attention much either
[05:30] <sebsebseb> innnit: yes same command for 8.04 and why are you not using 8.10
[05:30] <innnit> Seb: Had sound problems
[05:31] <innnit> seb: and I am a musician
[05:31] <sebsebseb> innnit: ah ok, well not much difference anyway, and next one is out in April
[05:31] <jose> somebody can talk in spanish, i need help
[05:31] <chaines> Smurfie: I'm actually on a Windows machine right now, so <_<
[05:31] <sebsebseb> !es
[05:31] <elmalafacha_> alguien sabe como puedo poner transparente la parte que sale de las aplicaciones lugares y sistema del escritorio de ubuntu?
[05:31] <innnit> seb: A shock I can tell you. I expected better
[05:32] <Smurfie> That shouldn't make a difference, should it?
[05:32] <innnit> seb: But am still happy with 04
[05:32] <chaines> Smurfie: but, here's the way to do this: open terminal and type wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/bitpim/bitpim_1.0.6_i386.deb
[05:32] <Daft_Punk> since upgrading to intrepid, certain icons in my systray such as xchat and wireless icons are no longer having transparent backgrounds, they appear white and clash with my background color, how can i fix this? i use trayer and have tried using stalonetray and neither fix the issue
[05:32] <usser> Huufarted, hm... there's a lot of backup programs, but frankly i never used any, most i need is nfs or samba share. mount it and then copy the files that are less than 2 days old with find
[05:32] <sebsebseb> innnit: if you want more cutting edge well other distros
[05:33] <Smurfie> I've already downloaded the bitpim... within the Applications.. I don't know where to find it
[05:33] <imaginativeone> jose: que pasa?
[05:33] <chaines> ah, I think you just need to type bitpim in the terminal then. :D
[05:33] <Smurfie> Ahh ok
[05:33] <azlon> my close, minimize and maximize buttons are on the left of my title bar... how can i move them to the right?
[05:33] <sebsebseb> iNiku: have you got Ubuntu Studio?
[05:34] <sebsebseb> innnit: have you got Ubuntu Studio?
[05:34] <chaines> now, the question arises as to whether or not it will work with your phone.
[05:34] <Smurfie> Yea really..
[05:34] <chaines> if it doesn't then you're kinda screwed, as the odds of anything else doing so are very small, AFAIK.
[05:34] <Smurfie> Haha
[05:34] <atom^x> Sw3RvE, did that work for you?
[05:34] <innnit> seb: no
[05:35] <innnit> seb: I thought about it
[05:35] <Smurfie> Uhmm... where's the terminal? lol
[05:35] <sebsebseb> innnit: well can get it's apps in standard Ubuntu anyway
[05:35] <innnit> seb: exactly
[05:35] <innnit> seb: d/ling java runtime
[05:35] <innnit> :D
[05:36] <chaines> lol, applications menu -> Accessories -> Terminal
[05:36] <chaines> if I remember correctly. Don't use gnome :)
[05:36] <Smurfie> Ahh ok.. can't help some of the blondeness here lol
[05:36] <Sw3RvE> let me try putting thunar as the command
[05:37] <Smurfie> :O Yay!
[05:37] <chaines> what type of phone do you use anyway?
[05:37] <Mac181> Seems the speakers/headphone fixes I find everywhere dont actually solve my problem.
[05:37] <Sw3RvE> yes that worked. thank you atom^x :)
[05:37] <Smurfie> Nokia
[05:37] <brutus> How do I make a game setup detect that a CD is inserted when I mount an iso on a certain folder?
[05:37] <atom^x> Sw3RvE, good!
[05:37] <hlm> what ftp servers does synaptics offer?
[05:38] <Scunizi> hlm: vsftpd is one of the more popular. proftpd is another.
[05:38] <hlm> Scunizi, thanks
[05:38] <Wicked> !floodbot
[05:38] <TiZ> Hi. I'm trying to extract from an archive, and I get the following error box. "An error occured while trying to extract the archive. (null)" What does this (null) bit mean, and how do I fix it?
[05:38] <Sw3RvE> i have 5 icons working now :)
[05:39] <Wicked> anyone know where i can find out more about the flood bots?
[05:39] <Scunizi> !bots
[05:39] <Smurfie> Apparently this program is lovin on LG
[05:39] <Sw3RvE> atom^x would you happen to know how i could remove a folder or tab from the applications menu on xubuntu
[05:39] <sebsebseb> !hello
[05:39] <Scunizi> Wicked: did you catch that?  :)  ^--^
[05:39] <hlm> Scunizi, do either one of these have a GUI?
[05:39] <chaines> Wickid: It's a bot. that stops. floods. Like, noah style and stuff.
[05:40] <Mac181> Sw3: can you right-click the app menu like you can in ubuntu?
[05:40] <Wicked> Scunizi, yea. but i dont think those bots are the same.
[05:40] <Sw3RvE> i wish i could right click and delete it that would make it so much easier
[05:40] <Wicked> Scunizi, but thanks
[05:40] <hlm> Scunizi, I looked at both of them and neither says anything about a GUI
[05:40] <Scunizi> hlm: ftp servers don't have gui's... clients do.. if you're trying to connect to a ftp server then gftp is what you want
[05:40] <Sw3RvE> no i cant right click it... i wouldnt have to ask if it was that easy :(
[05:40] <Mac181> Maybe I need to update my alsa stuff?
[05:40] <atom^x> Sw3RvE, ck the link i gave you the other night
[05:40] <chaines> Smurfie: Did it work?
[05:40] <Sw3RvE> which one
[05:40] <hlm> Scunizi, no, I need something that will easily allow me to add users
[05:40] <hlm> Scunizi, to the server*
[05:41] <computer> how do i remove a user from terminal?
[05:41] <Sw3RvE> i didnt think they had something that specific in there
[05:41] <Smurfie> Uhh... there's nothin for Nokia..
[05:41] <Smurfie> LG, Motorola, and Samsung.. lol
[05:41] <chaines> what specific type of phone do you have?
[05:41] <chaines> like, what's the name of the PHONe.
[05:41] <Lounge> computer: deluser <user>
[05:41] <Scunizi> hlm: there was one but I can't remember the name.. vsftpd has tons of info on the net on how to set it up.. it's also one of the more secure..
[05:41] <chaines> not manufacturer.
[05:41] <atom^x> Sw3RvE, http://wiki.xfce.org/
[05:41] <Smurfie> Nokia 6086
[05:41] <hlm> Scunizi, okay, ill go with that one thank you very much!
[05:42] <Smurfie> Ohh... I have no idea
[05:42] <Lounge> question i have about greeter when it's broke and i can't login...
[05:42] <Mac181> How lovely it'd be if my speakers turned off when my headphones were plugged in... :)
[05:42] <atom^x> Sw3RvE, it should tell there. It will be related to the .desktop files
[05:42] <Lounge> i tried reinstalling greeter, gdm, even ubuntu-desktop and still a broken greeter :/
[05:42] <lostinlinux> so i need some help w/ ubuntu
[05:42] <Smurfie> Other than it being Nokia... I have no idea lol
[05:43] <sebsebseb> lostinlinux: help with what/
[05:43] <sebsebseb> ?
[05:43] <Lounge> im i missing another package that needs reinstalling?
[05:43] <lostinlinux> i;m trying to install ubuntu over ubuntu. do i just put in the cd again?
[05:43] <Scunizi> lostinlinux: yep
[05:43] <lostinlinux> ok good
[05:43] <Aleran> I just installed an internal hard drive to hold my media on. I was thinking about formating it with ext4. Does anyone know if this will work ok with ubuntu 8.10?
[05:43] <Smurfie> Haha... Shortbus....
[05:43] <Scunizi> lostinlinux: but why are you doing that?
[05:44] <michael_> anyone know what channel i'd go to for network/router info
[05:44] <azlon> my close, minimize and maximize buttons are on the left of my title bar... how can i move them to the right?
[05:44] <lostinlinux> my friend put a password on our house computer and moved so now i cant access it.
[05:44] <michael_> or a way to check which IP from a router is using the most bandwidth?
[05:44] <Lounge> Aleran: ext4 if i read right should be shipped with the next build but atm ext4 is still in development
[05:44] <mjbraun> lostinlinux: Would you rather just blow away the root password?
[05:44] <chaines> Smurfie: Alright, I've got to go, and, I've never been the biggest phone person anyway, so I suggest going here: howardforums.com and posting your question in the correct forum. Make sure to mention your phone type, nokia 6086.
[05:44] <Scunizi> lostinlinux: ah.. ok.. do you know if you have a separate /home partition?
[05:44] <chaines> Sorry I couldn't be more help :(
[05:44] <Smurfie> Ok. Thank you =)
[05:44] <lostinlinux> no
[05:44] <Smurfie> It's ok
[05:44] <TiZ> Hi. I'm trying to extract from an archive, and I get the following error box. "An error occured while trying to extract the archive. (null)" What does this (null) bit mean, and how do I fix it?
[05:45] <lostinlinux> i dont know a whole lot about this stuff
[05:45] <Aleran> Lounge, but if they've already marked it for the next build then its gotta be stable right?
[05:45] <atom^x> Sw3RvE, http://wiki.xfce.org/tips about halfway down the page
[05:45] <sebsebseb> lostinlinux: put a Linux Live CD in and get round his password, assuming he didn't use encryption
[05:45] <Mac181> *whistles*
[05:45] <sebsebseb> lostinlinux: and if he did that, he  isn't really your friend
[05:45] <lostinlinux> hah
[05:45] <Scunizi> lostinlinux: you could also boot into the "rescue" portion of the menu on boot.  that puts you at root and you can add a user and password.. then log in as that user and delete the other one.
[05:45] <lostinlinux> he prob did too
[05:45] <Sw3RvE> ty
[05:45] <sebsebseb> lostinlinux: the family computer is which OS?
[05:45] <mjbraun> lostinlinux: http://www.debuntu.org/recover-root-password-single-user-mode-and-grub might help
[05:46] <Lounge> Aleran: not untill ext4 is officially decleared stable then it'll would be distribution worthy, i think
[05:46] <sebsebseb> lostinlinux: probably not
[05:46] <lostinlinux> i dont know, i just know he was using linux on the computer.. we were using it as a house server for music and video to share w/ eachother
[05:46] <lostinlinux> now i just want to get access to it but using ubuntu
[05:46] <chaines> TiZ: one more piece of advice before I kick it: Try using another archive manager than the default one. It seems to be... problematic. PeaZip has been recommended. Google it :)
[05:46] <Jerusalem420> hello all. i just installed 8.1
[05:47] <Lounge> so far in jaunty, i don't see a mkfs.ext4 anywhere
[05:47] <chaines> peace out all.
[05:47] <Jerusalem420> i like it a lot
[05:47] <TiZ> chaines: Thank you for answering.
[05:47] <Jerusalem420> nut i got some questions
[05:47] <Scunizi> !ask | Jerusalem420
[05:47] <Jerusalem420> how can i adjust my screen resolution to something besides 640 x whatever
[05:47] <sebsebseb> lostinlinux: probalby no encryption unless the computer is 64bit and was clever enough to use the alternate CD and then encrypt the hard disk
[05:47] <Lounge> but anyhoo i need ssome input on how to mend a broken gdm/greeter crash
[05:48] <Scunizi> !resolution | Jerusalem420
[05:48] <Mac181> Bot: Dont bank on it. I've been sitting here for awhile. :)
[05:48] <Jerusalem420> point well made scunizi
[05:48] <Jerusalem420> MAc181, I've found this chat to be very helpful at times
[05:48] <Jerusalem420> it depends on who is here. people do come here to help.
[05:48] <lostinlinux> he was a pretty slick guy who would pull that kind of crap on me
[05:48] <Jerusalem420> if you don't get an answer now, try in a few hours
[05:48] <joshjtl> hi all, I'm a bit disappointed today, I installed ubuntu on my parents older machine (1.6ghz P4 with 512mb Ram) expecting it to run faster than xp... but alas it does not, it's quite slow to respond, and start/use of applications...
[05:49] <sebsebseb> lostinlinux: well try the live cd.  and  recovery mode as that other guy said
[05:49] <lostinlinux> but you said i can still just put in the installation cd and it will do it??? easier?
[05:49] <lostinlinux> ok
[05:49] <lokendra> hello god morning
[05:49] <Mac181> Really? I've never found it useful. I either get ignored or chewed upon for saying something that isnt 100% on topic, even though its better than being ignored. Here, watch me get chewed out now.
[05:49] <sebsebseb> joshjtl: ok  well  it should run alright on that
[05:49] <sebsebseb> joshjtl: Xubuntu is more light waight, and there are other distros that run better on older hardware
[05:50] <Lounge> joshjtl: you can go into system --> administration --> services and shutdown some stuff you don't need
[05:50] <Lounge> do you need bluetooth?
[05:50] <Scunizi> !ot | Mac181 just couldn't resist since you asked for it
[05:50] <Sw3RvE> grrr i cant find it
[05:50] <lokendra> how to run phpmyadmin on ubuntu
[05:50] <joshjtl> sebsebseb: it runs, but not faster than xp, I know xubuntu is lighter, but gnome should be lighter/faster than xp
[05:50] <lokendra> please help me any body
[05:50] <Mac181> Scun: LOL, much obliged. :)
[05:50] <sebsebseb> joshjtl: sure, unless the RAM is failing I guess
[05:50] <Jerusalem420> is it possible that the ctr that i'm using only has 640*480 600*800?
[05:50] <joshjtl> Lounge: I have
[05:51] <sebsebseb> lokendra: with what?
[05:51] <Lounge> also in system --> preferences --> sessions , you can disable things there too
[05:51] <Jerusalem420> sebsebseb maybe try an older version of ubuntu?
[05:51] <joshjtl> sebsebseb: couldn't be, xp was fine just an hour ago
[05:51] <Scunizi> lokendra: http://localhost/phpmyadmin
[05:51] <sebsebseb> Jerusalem420: not the best idea, since suppourt won't be  for much longer unless it's hardy heron
[05:51] <Mac181> I should totally capitalize on the moment of someone paying attention to me. Do you know what's up with this whole "Speakers dont turn off when headphones are plugged in" thing? I've seen a few fixes online, but none actually work.
[05:51] <lostinlinux> thanks for the help...greatly apreciated
[05:51] <lokendra> i know that
[05:52] <lokendra> but it is shoe
[05:52] <joshjtl> using hardy over intrepid wouldn't help in this case would it?
[05:52] <lokendra> this error
[05:52] <lokendra> Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5.5 with Suhosin-Patch Server at localhost Port 80
[05:52] <sebsebseb> joshjtl: it might
[05:52] <joshjtl> it would mean a less patched version of the kernel etc etc
[05:52] <sebsebseb> joshjtl: not that much difference between hardy and intrepid anyway
[05:52] <Scunizi> Mac181: sorry I avoid all that with a physical switch to move between the two..
[05:52] <Lounge> do some people still get a crackly audio output out of one speaker/headphone?
[05:52] <sebsebseb> joshjtl: no the kernel gets updated in hardy as well
[05:52] <Mac181> Lounge: yeah, on high volume
[05:52] <hlm> Scunizi, I get the following error when trying to start vsftpd (as root)  500 OOPS: could not bind listening IPv4 socket
[05:53] <joshjtl> sebsebseb: in that case the only real difference would be an older gnome right?
[05:53] <Mac181> Scunizi: I have not a physical switch. :(
[05:53] <Lounge> if that happens type sudo alsa force-relaod
[05:53] <atom^x> Sw3RvE, either delete the .desktop file or add this line to it ->NoDisplay=true
[05:53] <Lounge> fixes it
[05:53] <Lounge> does for me
[05:53] <sebsebseb> joshjtl: older gnome?  well I don't really notice a difference between the version in intrepid and the version in hardy
[05:53] <kazagistar1> I am trying to get stepmania to work with a dance pad through a USB driver. Ubuntu supposedly has a working driver (xpad) and says that it has detected the dancepad. However, stepmania still fails to see it. Is there some driver config tool to see if my pad is working properly as a joystick?
[05:53] <Lounge> alsa force-reload*
[05:53] <Lounge> typoed
[05:53] <Scunizi> hlm: start with sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd start   .. or restart ... or stop..
[05:53] <joshjtl> hmm sebsebseb do you think its worth a shot?
[05:54] <sebsebseb> joshjtl: hardy  is still good, and suppourt longer than Ibex
[05:54] <sebsebseb> joshjtl: yes it's worth a shot
[05:54] <lokendra> i know that
[05:54] <innnit> seb: Done! Java works
[05:54] <Scunizi> hlm: I think the default user is ftp with a password of ftp.. you'll find the ftp /home on your machine now
[05:54] <lokendra> but it is shoe
[05:54] <joshjtl> okay I'll try it thanks sebsebseb Jerusalem420

[05:56] <sebsebseb> innnit: indeed it  does not work properly anymore
[05:56] <lokendra> please help me any body
[05:56] <sebsebseb> innnit: well it might depends
[05:56] <Mac181> Maybe if I upgrade my ALSA?

[05:56] <Mac181> How do I pull that off?
[05:57] <lokendra> how to run phpmyadmin on ubuntu
[05:57] <Scunizi> !sound | Mac
[05:57] <sebsebseb> Mac181: sounds issues?
[05:57] <sebsebseb> lokendra: by installing it?
[05:57] <Mac181> Seb: Yep. Headphone pops in, speakers stay on.
[05:57] <lokendra> i know that
[05:57] <lokendra> yes
[05:57] <lokendra> this error
[05:57] <sebsebseb> Mac181: look around the graphical sound settings,  and there are other  things that can be used instead of ALSA
[05:58] <lokendra> Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5.5 with Suhosin-Patch Server at localhost Port 80
[05:58] <Mac181> No seeming solution in graphical sound settings, and I have no reason to think ALSA wont work. I've seen a few proposed solutions to my problem, but they dont work when I try em.
[05:58] <Mac181> And my ubuntuforum threads go unanswered.

[06:26] <Sw3RvE> atom^x they only have one application that starts with K and that is Klotski
[06:26] <Meshezabeel> Sw3RvE: no, I think they were just asking the same question in a different way.
[06:27] <atom^x> Sw3RvE, not a dir named kde there?
[06:27] <Meshezabeel> Sw3RvE: I think they have trouble with English
[06:27] <Sw3RvE> its ok i was just asking i was picking on them.
[06:27] <Sw3RvE> atom^x nope
[06:28] <Sw3RvE> and i pressed Ctrl+h and checked for hidden files...
[06:28] <Rozen> I'm compiling from source fluxbox, I don't have internet I downloaded from a friends comp. Anyways, when I type ./configure it does some checks then it gives me the error "C compiler cannot create executable, see config.log for more details"
[06:28] <Meshezabeel> Sw3RvE: ah, okay, no prob :)
[06:28] <Sw3RvE> i was not picking** lol
[06:28] <rww> Rozen: You need to install the build-essential package and its dependencies.
[06:28] <Meshezabeel> Sw3RvE: you checked both upper and lowercase?

[06:28] <rww> !it | alessio
[06:29] <Sw3RvE> am i in the wrong area or something lol
[06:29] <rww> Rozen: the usual way to do it would be sudo apt-get install build-essential, though that probably won't work without internet.
[06:29] <alessio> rww fuck off
[06:29] <SunnyDP> :D
[06:29] <SunnyDP> LOL

[06:49] <billybigrigger> Meshezabeel, not bad for overclocking an x2 5000 from 2.6 to 3.0ghz on stock cooling :P i love this antec case :P stock 120mm and a stock 140mm fan's and stock amd HSF
[06:49] <Mac181> Saadi: Perhaps easier, applications -> add/remove applications
[06:49] <mjbraun> lokendra: Go to /etc/apache2/conf.d. Is the file phpmyadmin.conf there?

[06:49] <atom^x> Sw3RvE, it may have put it in a strange place. I am unfamiliar with kde apps

[06:50] <atom^x> Sw3RvE, /usr/share/applications
[06:50] <Meshezabeel> billybigrigger: yeah :) I know nothing about how a dual core processor works though. It could be theoretically possible to have them both at 100% but maybe improbable.
[06:50] <Sw3RvE> its made just like the way it is on the menu
[06:50] <kphayes> quit
[06:50] <Meshezabeel> billybigrigger: you could always ask on #hardware , they might know better.

[06:53] <help> help /nick
[06:53] <Meshezabeel> saadi559595: you might also need to install win32codecs for wma and a couple of other windows specific formats to work.

[07:05] <sebsebseb> !xbox
[07:05] <kinja-sheep> Two laptops.  My buddy is using one of them. ;o
[07:05] <mjbraun> kinja-sheep_: Try MythTV
[07:05] <Sw3RvE> sheep you can probably stream it somehow
[07:05] <Sw3RvE> idk about syncing it
[07:05] <rabidweezle> kinja-sheep, check www.xbox-scene.com
[07:06] <Daft_Punk> kinja-sheep_, google "xbox 360 ubuntu"
[07:06] <kinja-sheep_> well, i kind meant to shre it not sync
[07:06] <rabidweezle> if it's out there, it's there
[07:06] <kinja-sheep_> **share
[07:06] <rabidweezle> xbox-scene has all there is to know about that kinda stuff
[07:06] <rabidweezle> also check xbins
[07:06] <kinja-sheep> kinja-sheep_: Just buy a external hard drive to put your songs on it.  Plug it to your X360.  Organized, eh?
[07:07] <Huufarted> Question:  Anybody know how to backup a windows directory to an Ubuntu machine over the network preferably just syncing the 2 directories?
[07:07] <kinja-sheep_> waste of money kinja-sheep

[07:08] <mjbraun> kinja-sheep_: I use MythTV to stream video to my PS3. I'm sure you could do the same thing with the 360
[07:08] <kinja-sheep_> kk. ill check it out. brb
[07:08] <arooni_____> sebastien, what command is that?  i'm uisng the Software Sources applet

[07:09] <arooni_____> sebastien, or whateever is that red arrow
[07:09] <rabidweezle> since it's MS crap
[07:09] <sebsebseb> arooni_____: http://www.ubuntuguide.org may have some instructions about upgrading, plus it's on the official site some where
[07:09] <sebsebseb> !upgrade
[07:09] <mjbraun> rabidweezle: Xbox 360 doesn't do the whole UPNP thing?
[07:10] <rabidweezle> not for streaming videos
[07:10] <sebsebseb> radioman{LT}: inded Xbox 360 ewww
[07:10] <Gnea> mjbraun, rabidweezle: sure it does
[07:10] <rabidweezle> if you got media center edition xp it's easy
[07:10] <sebsebseb> radioman{LT}:  MS gamers and their WIndows or Xbox 360 though LOL
[07:10] <Lindar> Hello hello there. Regard me as a complete idiot for the purposes of this question. Will Ubuntu support a Netgear WG111T without me having to do anything?
[07:10] <punzada>         yes it does
[07:10] <arooni_____> sebastien, so what command were u saying to run again
[07:10] <punzada> x360 handles upnp fine
[07:10] <sebsebseb> radioman{LT}: Nintendo   Playstation,  anything, but MS  :)
[07:11] <punzada> ushare works 100%
[07:11] <Sw3RvE> PS3 pwns :)
[07:11] <sebsebseb> arooni_____: look at the upgrade  page
[07:11] <sebsebseb> !upgrade
[07:11] <Gnea> yeah, the 360 will stream video from ubuntu easily and without issue
[07:11] <mjbraun> rabidweezle: According to http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/UPnP , " At least as of trunk 17776M, this is streaming perfectly to XBOX 360 via UPnP. "
[07:11] <rabidweezle> ahh
[07:11] <sebsebseb> !upgrade
[07:11] <rabidweezle> ok

[07:11] <ferret_> o.o
[07:11] <sebsebseb> Sw3RvE: in fact doesn't it come  with a Linux as part of it?
[07:12] <Sw3RvE> no
[07:12] <tim__> anyone running xubuntu
[07:12] <arooni_____> sebastien, doesnt say on that page

[07:12] <sebsebseb> tim__: I have installed
[07:12] <Gnea> !xubuntu | tim__
[07:12] <Sw3RvE> i have ydl 6.1 installed on mine tho
[07:12] <sebsebseb> !samba
[07:12] <rabidweezle> yeah
[07:12] <rabidweezle> read that
[07:12] <tim__> i cant run ubuntu cuz im on a lappy it cant handle it

[07:12] <rabidweezle> I got it on the right workgroup now
[07:12] <tim__> so i need xubuntu
[07:13] <rabidweezle> other way around, I'm sharing to a windows xp, not from
[07:13] <Gnea> tim__: #xubuntu
[07:13] <sebsebseb> tim__: how much RAM?
[07:13] <rabidweezle> I can get the windows share easy
[07:13] <Sw3RvE> if Xubuntu could use the Vram swap that yellowdog 6.1 has i would put xubuntu on my ps3
[07:13] <tim__> i wanna say like 200 something its really bad
[07:13] <rabidweezle> I can see the share on the network under network neighborhood, but it tells me something about permissions
[07:13] <tim__> i cant remember
[07:14] <rabidweezle> network places rather
[07:14] <sebsebseb> tim__: Ubuntu can run with  256MB RAM.  128MB  and you got to put a swap partition on the hard disk, before the later Ubuntu Live CD's will even load up properly
[07:14] <Gnea> rabidweezle: yeah, check those URLs that ubottu just pointed out, lots of good reading there and it can help you - #samba too
[07:14] <Sw3RvE> id use Xubuntu. it operates much better than ubuntu
[07:14] <sebsebseb> tim__: you might want to try stuff such as Puppy Linux :)   and  maybe Damn Small Linux even
[07:15] <tim__> i tried dsl but i couldn't find a live cd
[07:15] <sebsebseb> Sw3RvE: Xubuntu is alright, but  Gnome :)

[07:18] <racecar-56> *me
[07:18] <Sw3RvE> how do i add a channel to the Xchat serverlist
[07:18] <arooni_____> sebsebseb, oh noes;  looks like i'm hosed
[07:18] <Sw3RvE> or make it open automatically when i join #ubuntu
[07:19] <Silenx> Sw3RvE, a channel on autojoin?
[07:19] <sebsebseb> arooni_____: probably easier now, and better, to just backup your data and  do a clean install of Ibex?
[07:19] <arooni_____> sebastien, oh noes;  i was hoping not to have to do that
[07:19] <Sw3RvE> like when i click Xchat to run the program i then choose a server...
[07:19] <sebsebseb> arooni_____: ok
[07:19] <arooni_____> sebsebseb, anyway to salvage what i haev?
[07:20] <Silenx> Sw3RvE, ok listen me, in your dialog of ubuntu server you see #ubuntu in "on join channel" ?
[07:20] <Sw3RvE> i want it to be on that list
[07:20] <sebsebseb> arooni_____: edit sources list make sure it's all ibex, run upgrade, and things should be o
[07:20] <Silenx> Sw3RvE, dialog of ubuntu server chat list on xchat
[07:20] <Sw3RvE> well i cant see it right now bc im on it
[07:20] <Silenx> ok try :)
[07:20] <sebsebseb> arooni_____: good idea to make a seperate home partition when you re install,  also good idea to MD5checksum the Ibex ISO
[07:20] <sebsebseb> !md5sum
[07:21] <Auszen> What is the best way to remove all flash plugins?
[07:21] <Sw3RvE> well when i open it what do i do to add a new one to that original list of servers
[07:21] <sebsebseb> !sources
[07:21] <Silenx> Sw3RvE, you mean the popup windows that appear on connect
[07:22] <Sw3RvE> yes
[07:22] <Sw3RvE> well no
[07:22] <Silenx> if you press ctrl + s you see server list
[07:22] <Sw3RvE> before i connect
[07:22] <Sw3RvE> yes on this menu
[07:23] <Silenx> on favorite channel if you want to join on connect more than one channe write #channel1,#channel2,#channel3
[07:23] <Sw3RvE> i need the info tho to make it work
[07:23] <arooni_____> sebastien, i already have a separate /home/ partition
[07:23] <sebsebseb> arooni_____: that's fine then
[07:23] <sebsebseb> arooni_____: have your data in that
[07:23] <sebsebseb> arooni_____: install ibex, but keep your home partition
[07:23] <arooni_____> sebastien, so what do i do?  wipe othre partitoins?
[07:23] <arooni_____> and blow up existing /etc/ on e?
[07:24] <sebsebseb> arooni_____: yes get rid of everything, but home
[07:24] <arooni_____> mkay
[07:24] <sebsebseb> arooni_____: oh and you could keep swap.  how big is your swap if you got one?
[07:24] <arooni_____> yes i have swap
[07:24] <arooni_____> its 4G i think
[07:24] <arooni_____> i have 3G of ram
[07:24] <sebsebseb> arooni_____: that's to big
[07:24] <sebsebseb> arooni_____: that's bigger than it should be
[07:24] <Sw3RvE> i added Xubuntu in the networks spot. then i have to edit it to put info in... what do i replace this (newserver/6667) with?
[07:24] <arooni_____> how big should it be?
[07:24] <sebsebseb> arooni_____: 1GB is good so 1024MB
[07:25] <arooni_____> sebsebseb, really?  i thought it was important for swap size = memory size
[07:25] <sebsebseb> arooni_____: sort swap out,  keep home
[07:25] <rabidweezle> if there's any samba folks out there, send me a pm
[07:25] <arooni_____> sebsebseb, also;  is there a way of storing what packages i have installed?
[07:25] <arooni_____> to save off a list
[07:25] <Silenx> Sw3RvE, you have to write the irc server address in the form irc.servername.net/6667
[07:25] <sebsebseb> arooni_____: no if someone has 512MB ram then tehy should double to 1GB.  and with 4GB RAM you probably don't really need a  SWAP, but have one anyway as 1GB
[07:25] <sebsebseb> !swap
[07:26] <arooni_____> sebastien, i only have 3G of ram
[07:26] <Silenx> only , lol :)
[07:26] <sebsebseb> arooni_____: I only have 1GB RAM  and  I would do 1GB as SWAP
[07:26] <arooni_____> ;p
[07:26] <sebsebseb> arooni_____: 1GB is a good size for SWAP
[07:26] <arooni_____> ok how do i keep track of what packages i have installed
[07:27] <idefine> is there any way to determine what kernel you have other than the uname command?
[07:27] <arooni_____> i dont want to have to manually figure it out
[07:27] <Sw3RvE> i have 1.8GB and 705 MB swap
[07:27] <sebsebseb> arooni_____: just install stuff again it's not hard
[07:27] <Sw3RvE> i have only used like 2% of swap so far. lol
[07:27] <sebsebseb> arooni_____: and the hidden .folders in home
[07:27] <sebsebseb> arooni_____: will be your user data for your current programs
[07:27] <arooni_____> dpkg --get-selections > selections.txt save the .txt file to a safe place then once reinstalled dpkg --set-selections < selections.txt followed by dselect update and apt-get dselect-upgrade show give you back your installed packages.
[07:28] <arooni_____> from goog;  seems like it should work
[07:28] <sebsebseb> arooni_____: that seems interesting, whats the link?
[07:29] <arooni_____> sebsebseb, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/how-to-save-a-list-of-installed-packages-and-install-these-packages-later-393191/
[07:29] <sebsebseb> arooni_____: ok thanks,  I should go bye
[07:30] <TML> What is, or how can I discover, the "termcap keyboard capability name" for Alt+F1?
[07:30] <Sw3RvE> would anyone happen to know the RUN command for Xchat?
[07:31] <sw3rve_> lol nvm it is xchat
[07:31] <illumin8> is there a way to hold off usb_disable_devic in booting?
[07:32] <illumin8> untill initialization is complete
[07:32] <lowlycoder> i'm developing a window manager; but i don't wnat to constantly restart X. is there a way i can open upp another x session, inside my current X, to test out my window manager?
[07:32] <kriyas> what is the  difference between ubuntu and fedora
[07:33] <kohlrak> lowlycoder: might be possible
[07:33] <cahaya-05> cahaya-05
[07:33] <kohlrak> however, it's not a good idea
[07:33] <cahaya-05> ariel
[07:33] <kohlrak> have you considered a script to start and close x?
[07:33] <kohlrak> that way you only hit a "switch" command?
[07:33] <illumin8> kriyas, check this webpage usb_disable_devic
[07:33] <illumin8> erm
[07:33] <khik0n> why
[07:34] <illumin8> kriyas, this one http://polishlinux.org/choose/comparison/
[07:34] <khik0n> hi
[07:34] <khik0n> help me please
[07:34] <arooni_____> what speed should i burn ubuntu to a cdrw?
[07:34] <kohlrak> arooni____: as fast as you can without it making an error, which is usually maximum speed.
[07:34] <kriyas> how to work c programs in ubuntu, what softwares needed
[07:34] <TML> arooni_____: Whatever speed your burner can safely burn.
[07:35] <kohlrak> kriyas: build essentials =p
[07:35] <cahaya-05> r3
[07:35] <cahaya-05> hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[07:35] <kriyas> kohlrak: what ?
[07:36] <kohlrak> kriyas: that's the package name... then you'll want to type in "man gcc" to figure out how to use it
[07:36] <TML> Why do left-alt <Fn> and right-alt <Fn> go to the same VT on ubuntu?
[07:36] <nETspideR> HI
[07:37] <nETspideR> SOMEONE ON
[07:37] <kriyas> k
[07:37] <kohlrak> TML: Virtual terminal? Try alt+f#
[07:38] <nETspideR> can someone tell me how i can setup a DNS server
[07:39] <kohlrak> nETspideR: Have you checked synaptic for "DNS Server" yet?
[07:39] <nETspideR> i use this thred http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=236093
[07:39] <TML> kohlrak: LeftAlt+f# takes you to VT 0+# (that is, 1-12). On every distro but Ubuntu, RightAlt+f# takes you VT 12+# (13-24).
[07:40] <kriyas> i got it
[07:40] <TML> kohlrak: It's incredibly cumbersome to get to VT19 by going to VT1 and then using Alt+LeftArrow to go through 24, 23, 22, 21, and 20
[07:40] <nETspideR> when i try to restart sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 restart says is failed
[07:40] <kohlrak> TML: That's not good
[07:40] <Mal3ko> tryng to login root password and got this
[07:41] <Mal3ko> Permission denied (publickey,password)
[07:41] <Mal3ko> whats that mean?
[07:41] <Mal3ko> publickey?
[07:41] <TML> Mal3ko: You tried to SSH in, and it told you the allowed authentication mechanisms
[07:41] <kohlrak> Mal3ko: Probably means bad password, which is really funny since root is a passwordless (and i think nameless) account
[07:42] <wrinkliez> hey guys, can someone tell me what the benefits of using a music player daemon instead of normal music players?
[07:42] <Mal3ko> the root acc has password
[07:42] <Weeltin> How do i see what things my ubuntu is starting op, when the system is booting?? (need to figure out if snmptrapd is running)
[07:42] <TML> root is "passwordless"?
[07:42] <kohlrak> TML: I really don't know what to say though, as i've only ever used UBUNTU. I've also noticed that the highest i've used was the 8th terminal.
[07:42] <Mal3ko> it has password
[07:42] <kohlrak> TML: should be.
[07:42] <TML> kohlrak: And some people respond "Oh, use screen instead". Which I'm willing to do, if only I can figure out how to ask screen to map LeftAlt-F1 to "select 1"
[07:42] <egc> Weeltin: ps -ef | grep snmptrapd
[07:43] <egc> Weeltin: or edit menu.lst to not have splash screen
[07:43] <TML> kohlrak: Well, it's "root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash" on all of *my* boxes
[07:43] <kohlrak> TML: Is there a way to switch screens using type commands in the terminal?
[07:44] <TML> kohlrak: I'm not sure what you mean by "using type commands"
[07:44] <Daft_Punk> since upgrading to intrepid, certain icons in my systray such as xchat and wireless icons are no longer having transparent backgrounds, they appear white and clash with my background color, how can i fix this? i use trayer and have tried using stalonetray and neither fix the issue. icons such as amsn and amarok have transparent backgrounds.
[07:45] <SmileDay> Hello Aloha Saluton... um... others...
[07:45] <Weeltin> egc, thanks.. will try that.. btw, running server so i dont have a splash screen
[07:45] <kohlrak> TML: Not sure if there's a way to type something like "screen -n 1 -vt 5" or something like that
[07:46] <NFischer> wrinkliez, what?
[07:46] <mikewu> kohlrak: use sudo chvt 1 to change to tty 1 and so on
[07:47] <Favorit> good morning
[07:47] <TML> kohlrak: I wasn't looking for a command to do it, I was looking for a way to fix the keyboard mappings.
[07:47] <wrinkliez> NFischer:  well, i've been looking at music players (it seems i am the only one dissatisfied with amarok) and I found frontends for mpd.  and i am just curious as why someone would actually use mpd instead of just having a regular audio player
[07:47] <b3z3rk3r> Daft_Punk, hey ;)
[07:47] <kohlrak> TML: well, now that we have commands, perhaps there's a place to map them
[07:48] <TML> kohlrak: Thanks, but if I could figure out how to map Alt-F1 to something, I already knew the commands. :)
[07:48] <TML> Specifically, map "LeftAlt+F1" to one thing and "RightAlt+F1" to another (different) thing
[07:49] <NFischer> wrinkliez, mpd is mostly for server use
[07:49] <NFischer> wrinkliez, without x
[07:49] <kohlrak> TML: Not sure how to do this, but since Ubuntu is also a linux distro, there MUST be a way to do it XD
[07:49] <Ivru> Hi all
[07:49] <NFischer> wrinkliez, btw, im dissatisfied with anorak as well.. i use Exaile
[07:49] <wrinkliez> NFischer: ah, that makes more sense.
[07:49] <Favorit> VLC media player is all one ever needs :)
[07:50] <TML> kohlrak: True. I'm just trying to figure out what they 'broke'. :)
[07:50] <TML> Or 'fixed', if you prefer, so I can 'unfix' it.
[07:50] <wrinkliez> NFischer: ive been trying to get a different mp3  player for kde, but if i dont like amarok or juk, apparently im screwed XD
[07:50] <quibbler> Favorit: +1 ;-)
[07:50] <Ivru> I'm trying to export authentication logs to a syslog-ng server. Using the local syslog conf auth.*     @syslo-ng.server.ip doesn't transmit su/sudo/sg,... messages to syslog-ng server. But using logger -p auth.info "glop" works fine. Any idea ?
[07:50] <wrinkliez> NFischer: unless i get a gnome app
[07:51] <kohlrak> TML: I'll go with "broke" ;) so if you figure it out, let me know because i wouldn't mind figuring out new ways of mapping keys
[07:52] <freegoo> hey guys if i run this command. "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda2" would this securly delete that data on that partition????
[07:52] <idefine> ubuntu did an update (which included some modules for the linux kernel) during boot I was not able to get past the splash screen, so I removed quiet and splash from the menu in grub, by pressing escape and editing the appropriate line, I get the message Driver sr nees updating - please use bus_type methods, then I keep getting messages about rr2310_00 (which is my raid controller)
[07:52] <Weeltin> is the snmptrapd running when it sais "root     23083 23082  0 08:44 ? 00:00:00 sh -c su root -c ps\ \-ef\ \|\ grep\ snmptrapd 2>&1 ;root 23084 23083  0 08:44 ? 00:00:00 su root -c ps -ef | grep snmptrapd ; root 23085 23084  0 08:44 ? 00:00:00 bash -c ps -ef | grep snmptrapd ; root 23087 23085  0 08:44 ? 00:00:00 grep snmptrapd" after using the command "ps -ef | grep snmptrapd"
[07:53] <freegoo> sorry i meanmdd if=/dev/random
[07:53] <idefine> and never complete the boot
[07:53] <freegoo> so basicly "dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sda2"
[07:53] <mikewu> kohlrak: you might want to try actkbd to map keystrokes
[07:54] <TML> freegoo: Well, it would be better than nothing.
[07:54] <freegoo> tml: what would you recomend?
[07:54] <Favorit> idefine: hmm, that's strange. do you recall which modules were updated exactly?
[07:55] <TML> freegoo: A really strong magnet
[07:55] <kohlrak> mikewu: cool thanks XD
[07:55] <kohlrak> TML: mikewu got it there
[07:55] <freegoo> tml: i could use bootnNuke on the whole disk
[07:55]  * Favorit blushed after the word "stroke".
[07:56] <TML> mikewu: 'actkbd'?
[07:56] <chu_> hey - anyone using an asus laptop?
[07:56] <freegoo> tml: wouldnt that distroy the disk, i still want to use it
[07:56] <mikewu> TML: its a daemon that runs in the background and monitors keyboard events
[07:56] <Favorit> chu_: most likely, what's the prob :)
[07:56] <mikewu> you can map pretty much anything to anything you want
[07:56] <idefine> Favorit: not sure, I just did the recommended restart.
[07:57] <Favorit> idefine: running intrepid?
[07:57] <idefine> Favorit: I am sure that my raid controller's drivers need to be rebuilt
[07:57] <freegoo> tml: 35 passess on dev/random should stop standard data recovery programs
[07:57] <TML> mikewu: apt-cache search actkbd, which actkbd, man -k actkbd - all come up blank
[07:57] <idefine> Favorit: no, 8.04.2
[07:57] <TML> freegoo: Perhaps.
[07:57] <chu_> Just a problem with the battery - it's not "detected", it runs on battery but I get no readings from it (I only know it recharges because the recharge light at the front is light up), I've been looking for help for a while, just wondering if the problem was related to asus laptops in general, or my model (asus pro50gl)
[07:57] <TML> freegoo: It's hard to get much safer than actually re-aligning the platter :)
[07:57] <Hemebond> Anyone able to help me with a screen resolution problem? Seems every time a game tries to run in full-screen mode it chooses 800x600 which doesn't display correctly; it shows the top 3rd at the bottom, the middle 3rd at the top, and the bottom 3rd is invisible.
[07:57] <Favorit> idefine: oh, i see. well, try booting previous kernel or so and see why the driver isn't loaded?
[07:58] <sassi> need help with i this i have installed wow i have done the opengl thingi in regedit and in config.wtf and even in launch options it starts fine i can login and everything but when i enter a world with a char i get this stripes with all cinds of colours everywere anyone know how to get rid of them ?
[07:58] <idefine> Favorit: well the kernel did not change, it is still 26-23-server
[07:58] <freegoo> tml: do you knolw of any software out there, that can recovery data after a few write overs
[07:58] <Ivru> No idea for my syslog-ng problem ?
[07:58] <Favorit> chu_: let me have a look.
[07:58] <mikewu> TML: http://users.softlab.ntua.gr/~thkala/projects/actkbd/
[07:58] <Hemebond> I see a similar problem during startup; the splash screen (Ubuntu logo and progress bar) is skewed line-by-line into an unrecognisable mess.
[07:59] <chu_> Thanks Favorit
[07:59] <Favorit> idefine: and let me guess, you're booting from that raid array as well?
[07:59] <idefine> Favorit: indeed.
[07:59] <Daft_Punk> since upgrading to intrepid, certain icons in my systray such as xchat and wireless icons are no longer having transparent backgrounds, they appear white and clash with my background color, how can i fix this? i use trayer and have tried using stalonetray and neither fix the issue. icons such as amsn and amarok have transparent backgrounds.
[07:59] <TML> freegoo: Software, no. But I've heard of data recovery projects that got data off after something like 20 random overwrites
[08:00] <TML> mikewu: Thanks, I'll give that a poke.
[08:01] <TML> Daft_Punk: Maybe you could manually edit the icons to give them an alpha channel?
[08:01] <idefine> Favorit: the system starts booting, but it get's stuck. I get to a splash screen, I disabled it however to see where it gets stuck ....it says Driver sr needs to be updated for a while and then continues to spit out messages about drives on the raid array.
[08:01] <Favorit> chu_: looks like ACPI support is b0rked for that type of laptop, let me see if there are any more details on what to do with it
[08:02] <Favorit> idefine: and then hangs?
[08:02] <idefine> Favorit: messages keep coming, but yes, it hangs there.
[08:02] <TML> mikewu: It seems that actkbd doesn't happen at a low-enough level to trap Alt-F1
[08:03] <idefine> Favorit: I can reboot if i do a ctr+alt+delete early, but after a while I have to had shutdown
[08:03] <Favorit> idefine: try booting off livecd, roll back the driver update?
[08:03] <idefine> Favorit: how would I roll back?
[08:03] <Favorit> idefine: well, that module came with some package, right? try forcing it to install previous version
[08:04] <idefine> Favorit: well I didn't update any drivers, ubuntu did an update and got some new things one of which was a kernel module update i believe.
[08:04] <chu_> Favorit: I have heard there may be a fix with 9.04 (although I'm hesitant to try the alpha; 8.10 is so good at the moment) - though if possible I would like to somehow contribute, and this seems to be the most obvious, do you know where I would go if I was interested in adding acpi support.. where would I go? Heh, fairly large question I guess
[08:04] <Favorit> idefine: indeed, then just re-install previous version of that module
[08:05] <Favorit> chu_: yeah, so I've read as well, but I wouldn't recommend going 9.04 just yet :)
[08:05] <ljungk> hi, someone here who's good at Makefiles? I'm trying to compile a program which uses a library in /usr/local/lib, but the whole '-L/path/to/lib' thing doesn't work. I get runtime complains about not finding the shared object file.
[08:05] <kohlrak> TML: does this happen right when using the linux kernel with nothing else present?
[08:05] <mikewu> TML: somes guys over at arch linux got it working in the ttys
[08:05] <mikewu> http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=333993
[08:06] <tyler_d> I want to start remote desktop sharing from an ssh session?
[08:06] <Favorit> ljungk: paste Makefile and compile errors to pastebin, give me link :)
[08:06] <ljungk> yep
[08:07] <TML> mikewu: silly me - that's what I get for reading the docs. The commands they give in the source don't function. Thanks. :)
[08:07] <chu_> I have done some research, and I was thinking, as I get nothing from /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0 (it literally tells me the 'device' does not exist), perhaps there's a clash between apm and acpi? Though I have no idea how to deal with this.
[08:08] <idefine> Favorit: I do not know what module was installed, anyway to determine what was last done by the package manager?
[08:08] <Favorit> chu_: that would be very weird if apm clashed acpi :)
[08:08] <Favorit> idefine: hmm, most likely, let me just try and recall where it keeps the history for you
[08:08] <chu_> Well, that's reassuring to some degree, now I guess I search elsewhere :p
[08:09] <Favorit> chu_: although it's an easy test, disable APM in bios
[08:09] <Favorit> chu_: speaking of bios, is ACPI enabled in bios? :P (dumb question, but still)
[08:09] <ljungk> ok. here's the Makefile: http://paste.ubuntu.com/120011/ (it is the corona lib which gives me errors). compiling is not the issue, but when i run the program, i get: 'error while loading shared libraries'
[08:10] <balrog__> is there a good way to list the id3 data of files in a directory?
[08:10] <try2free> CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_CACHED=n same with CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH=n ? ini ubuntu?
[08:10] <chu_> To be honest, I'm not sure, I will have a look, but I don't really know what I'm looking for, so it's kind of overwhelming at times.
[08:10] <ljungk> if i move the libraries to /usr/lib it works fine. i just wan't to know how to specify a custom path for them
[08:11] <Favorit> ljungk: ah, hehe, that has nothing to do with compiling I'm afraid
[08:11] <Favorit> ljungk: does your /etc/ld.so.conf contain /usr/local/lib ?
[08:11] <chu_> Favorit, I will go check now, I will hopefully return :p
[08:11] <ljungk> *checks...*
[08:11] <Favorit> chu_: hehe, good luck
[08:12] <Favorit> idefine: /var/log/dpkg.log should give you an idea
[08:12]  * Favorit is dumb and sleepy
[08:12] <idefine> Favorit: cool, will take a look, thanks.
[08:12] <crdlb> try2free: the former doesn't seem to exist in intrepid's 2.6.27, and the latter is set to 'y'
[08:13] <Favorit> wth, snowing again. what's that with dutch winter these days. where's my sun and warmth!
[08:13] <Hacking> hai
[08:13] <mikewu> balrog__: Try eyed3 or easytag
[08:13] <Hacking> welcom to thailand /hacking
[08:14] <balrog__> mikewu: is there a command line utility to do it?
[08:14] <try2free> crdlb: but in shorewall documentation we must set CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_CACHED=n to make balance 'Multi ISP' run. how?
[08:14] <mikewu> balrog__: i know eyed3 is command line, not sure about easytag
[08:14] <crdlb> try2free: I think that option has been removed from the kernel entirely
[08:14] <balrog__> mikewu: oh, i suppose i could have checked that.  thanks.
[08:15] <crdlb> try2free: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[08:15] <ljungk> Favorit: /etc/ld.so.conf includes the files in ld.so.conf.d. there i find libc.conf containing '/usr/local/lib'
[08:15] <DJNomad> hello all
[08:15] <try2free> crdlb: 8.04
[08:16] <Favorit> ljungk: hmm, and if you run 'ldd <your binary here>' does it successfully resolve all lib locations?
[08:16] <try2free> crdlb: so i can't set multi isp with ubuntu 8.04?
[08:16] <DJNomad> sorry dunno try ima newbie
[08:16] <crdlb> try2free: the option is gone because the code was removed from the kernel
[08:17] <DJNomad> oh sorry didnt know yall was talkin
[08:17] <DJNomad> thought it waws ghost town lol
[08:17] <ljungk> Favorit: nope, i get: 'libcorona-1.0.2.so => not found'
[08:18] <Hacking> 192.168.1.4
[08:18] <DJNomad> anyone familiar with amorok?
[08:18] <DJNomad> I am new to things and amorok ..all the text in the menus and songlist etc is invisable
[08:19] <Favorit> ljungk: then ldconfig doesn't look into /usr/local/lib
[08:19] <DJNomad> like the font gets faded into the background somehow regardless of what theme i have
[08:19] <crdlb> try2free: in other words, you should be fine because the broken code is not even available now
[08:19] <brez-> hello, is it possible to open a folder with a terminal command, eg: if I wanted to open "pictures" with out clicking on it
[08:21] <ljungk> Favorit: yes
[08:21] <mikewu> brez-: do you mean open in nautilus? then just nautilus ./pictures
[08:21] <ljungk> Favorit: and how can I change this behavior?
[08:22] <Favorit> ljungk: let's see...
[08:22] <brez-> nice
[08:23] <Favorit> ljungk: does "ldconfig -p | grep corona" see your lib/
[08:23] <poet> is it possible to package something like an online book for offline reading?
[08:24] <mikewu> poet: what kind of format is it online?
[08:24] <poet> mikewu: html
[08:24] <chu_> Favorit - I found nothing in the BIOS that even mentioned ACPI or APM :p
[08:24] <Favorit> chu_: eh? :) no acpi configuration can well be, but no APM??
[08:24] <ljungk> Favorit: nope, so there is no record of where to look? that's not so good...
[08:24] <mikewu> poet: multiple pages or just one?
[08:25] <chu_> Well, not that I could find, perhaps I'm not looking in the right place though... The laptop itself is only like a month old (only has 8.10 installed), so I would *hope* the bios is updated etc.
[08:25] <poet> mikewu: I believe only multiple pages
[08:26] <Favorit> ljungk: ok, and if you re-run ldconfig -v (as root or with sudo) and check if it finds your lib or even looks at libs in /usr/local/lib?
[08:26] <poet> mikewu: although I imagine I could write a script to parse it into a single html page
[08:26] <Favorit> ljungk: and then another stupid question but nevertheless, the libs are just in /usr/local/lib, not it a subdir, right?
[08:26] <ljungk> Favorit: yep, I did that and now it's all fine. thank you for your help
[08:27] <Favorit> ljungk: aha. nice. you're welcome
[08:27] <Favorit> and now I've earned coffee and cigarette!
[08:27]  * Favorit afk
[08:27] <ljungk> Favorit: is this always the case when compiling your own libraries? doesn't it automatically update itself?
[08:27] <mikewu> poet: try curl to download all the urls and redirect them to files
[08:27] <Favorit> ljungk: nope.
[08:28] <Favorit> ljungk: you either need to libtool them, or run ldconfig to update caches
[08:28] <mikewu> poet: then search for html2txt and just run them on the html files
[08:28] <ljungk> Favorit: ok
[08:28] <poet> mikewu: what kind of form would the end package take and how could I make it conveniently accessable to users?
[08:28] <Favorit> ljungk: once your lib filename is cached you will no longer need to update anything, it just goes about the location, not the ymbols
[08:28] <mikewu> and if you want just one file cat *txt final_result
[08:29] <mikewu> poet: well you could leave it in the html if you wanted, or convert it to plain ascii text
[08:29] <Favorit> but but. now i really need my smoke ;)
[08:29] <ljungk> Favorit: yeah. well. good news is that THAT error is gone. bad news is now I get a seg fault. but that's probably more my own fault. :)
[08:29] <mikewu> poet: accessable to users on the same machine or serve it over the web?
[08:31] <poet> mikewu: on their machine.  Would the package just download a bunch of html pages into /usr/share/doc or something similar?
[08:32] <mikewu> curl would download into the working directory, but you could just move them somewhere and change the permissions so anything could view them
[08:32] <mikewu> s/anything/anyone
[08:32] <poet> ok
[08:33] <Daft_Punk> since upgrading to intrepid, certain icons in my systray such as xchat and wireless icons are no longer having transparent backgrounds, they appear white and clash with my background color, how can i fix this? i use trayer and have tried using stalonetray and neither fix the issue. icons such as amsn and amarok have transparent backgrounds.
[08:34] <try2free> crdlb: thanks
[08:34] <try2free> how to upgrade from shorewall 4.0.6 to 4.2.6? in hardy?
[08:35] <shams1> i install and enable APC. but i need a web based statistic pages for APC. i see same page in another server. can you tell me how can i have one of that pages?
[08:35] <ikonia> try2free: is there a package in the repos ?
[08:36] <try2free> ikonia: i am new in ubuntu, not know. how to check that?
[08:37] <ikonia> try2free: if you have shorewall currently installed, update manager will notify you when / if there is an upgrade packcage available for you
[08:37] <Kartagis> try2free, apt-cache search shore
[08:38] <try2free> ikonia: but there is not any. i check in shorewall website latest is 4.2.6
[08:39] <try2free> Kartagis: tq
[08:39] <ikonia> try2free: shorewalls' latest is not always ubuntus latest - and with good reason
[08:39] <Favorit> ljungk: gdb is your friend for segfaults :)
[08:39] <ikonia> try2free: why do you want 4.2.6 ?
[08:39] <root> 123456
[08:41] <try2free> because i am using multi isp, if i down one isp the other can't connect, i want automatic switch between isp. i must set manual in tcrules.
[08:41] <arooni-mobile> i just installed ibex as a fresh install (but kept my /home/ from hardy).  installer asked me to create a user to log in with; so i did;  problem is; all my files are under /home/chasetoys (which still exists) but theres no entry in /etc/passwd;  so should i create a new user named chasetoys?
[08:41] <kraut> moin
[08:41] <arooni-mobile> also what would have happened if i would have used chasetoys when i walked through the install wizard?  would it have overwritten all my files?
[08:42] <ikonia> try2free: what is wrong with your current shorewall ?
[08:42] <try2free> ikonia: not automatically switch between isp.
[08:42] <try2free> ikonia: i have two isp
[08:42] <ikonia> try2free: and you know the current version does ?
[08:42] <ikonia> try2free: yes, you've said you have two isp's
[08:43] <Rainium_Isotope_> hey on GNOME if youve installed a custom login screen but it doesnt have a window for you username and password, do you just type them and press enter the same way as if it were there?
[08:43] <try2free> ikonia: yes, i follow the instruction in magazine
[08:43] <ikonia> try2free: and those instructions don't work with your current version
[08:43] <try2free> yes, i think so
[08:44] <ikonia> try2free: there is no current update package available for Ubuntu 8.04
[08:44] <Rainium_Isotope_> try was that answer for me?
[08:45] <try2free> ikonia: tq, i try check again maybe i have mistake in follow instruction.
[08:45] <idefine> Favorit: hey, ok, I have dropped into an initramfs prompt (ash shell) any ideas wath ta could mean? I got Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/some-long-uuid does ntot exist. Dropping to a shell
[08:46] <Rainium_Isotope_> anyone that can answer a question about the GNOME login screen?
[08:46] <idefine> Favorit: ah, smoking, ok....I will get a pb and j in that case.
[08:47] <ikonia> Rainium_Isotope_: just ask
[08:47] <Rainium_Isotope_> if a custom login screen does not have a window to enter your username or password, do you just enter them as if it were there?
[08:47] <Favorit> idefine: hmm
[08:48] <ikonia> Rainium_Isotope_: you contact the person who made the custom login screen
[08:48] <Rainium_Isotope_> okay, thanks. i just didnt want to try it without checking first
[08:48] <Rainium_Isotope_> ill ask them
[08:49] <paul68> hi is there a specific css channel here?
[08:49] <ikonia> paul68: #css
[08:49] <idefine> Favorit: any ideas? I would assume that it's a problem that the /boot partition is on the raid array....and since rocketraid 2300 is not entirely hardware raid it needs to load the rest of the drivers? However I did not face this problem before.
[08:49] <Favorit> idefine: that would mean that either disk uuid's have changed or that driver isn't loaded
[08:49] <ikonia> paul68: check freenodes website rather than asking here
[08:49] <paul68> ikonia:  thanks
[08:49] <ikonia> idefine: rocket raid is "fakeraid" and has terrible linux support
[08:50] <idefine> ikonia: i know, it's terrible. what do you recommend?
[08:50] <ikonia> idefine: not using it - or using software raid
[08:50] <idefine> ikonia: I am open to purchasing another raid card, what would you recommend pci-express.
[08:51] <ikonia> idefine: either a very expensive fully linux supported hardware raid card from 3ware (for example) or just use software raid with your current card
[08:51] <b4chip> hi there, I really have no experience with linux dist but I;m learning PHP and i wana generate some graph using pChart lib. Into that library sources are some samples and a buildAll.cmd file. How can I run the buildAll.cmd file into a linux env?
[08:51] <ikonia> b4chip: .cmd files are normally Batch files based for the windows operating system
[08:53] <Nastya> Hi all
[08:55] <Nastya> How I can convert djvu file to pdf format?
[08:56] <mikewu> b4chip: the batch file just seems to call php on each of the samples
[08:56] <mikewu> you can do the same thing on linux with just php -q filename
[08:57] <Iowahc> Nastya: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=216531
[08:57] <idefine> ikonia: can you recommend a good 3ware card that fully supports linux?
[08:57] <Iowahc> Nastya: see the third post
[08:58] <ikonia> idefine: look on the 3ware site
[08:58] <idefine> ikonia: ok, so $800, well damn
[08:59] <ikonia> idefine: I did say expensive
[08:59] <ikonia> idefine: that is the price of hardware raid
[09:00] <idefine> ikonia: can you give me brief detail of what the performance differences would be between a software raid and a hardware raid?
[09:00] <Lamerion> need help with this... offtopic. how do i sftp to a particular server port? the --help doesnt provide that for me
[09:00] <ikonia> idefine: errro that's massivly subjectivev.
[09:00] <ikonia> idefine: what are you using this machine for ?
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo

[09:01] <ActionParsnip> interesting
[09:01] <genii> ActionParsnip: Indeed.
[09:03] <ActionParsnip> If i'm running say KDE and I install fluxbox, When I use KDE apps in fluxbox, am I using more ram than using only KDE with QT libs and whatnot?
[09:03] <idefine> ikonia: it's a server that is going to be running some critical applications and data loss is not acceptable, we were doing remote backups, but the server is sometimes installed in locations where a remote backup is not possible.
[09:03] <ikonia> ActionParsnip: your using fluxbox - but your still loading the kde/qt libs to run that app
[09:03] <ziroday> ActionParsnip: err well the QT libs should be loaded in the memory, it depends whether the KDE services use more ram then the fluxbox one's
[09:03] <mikewu> Lamerion: try sftp -oPort=port_number
[09:03] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: so technically its more ram then?
[09:03] <Lamerion> affirmative
[09:03] <idefine> ikonia: neither are external drives/etc.
[09:04] <ikonia> idefine: then you should be able to spend $800
[09:04] <ikonia> idefine: software raid would also be very acceptable - as long as you read up on how to manage it
[09:04] <b4chip> mikewu: when i type php on the command line, i get the following message: "command not found" this means I;m not allowed to run php from CLI?
[09:05] <mikewu> b4chip: it means that php isn't installed
[09:05] <Myrtti> b4chip: it means you don't have php-cli installed
[09:05] <ikonia> b4chip: you need to install the php command line application
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> ziroday: i'm just curious as the main use of my system is samba, amarok and ktorrent due to web based controls (habit) but I like fluxbox for low ram use, if it turns out I'm using more ram using fluxbox then I need to dro pit like its hot
[09:05] <Myrtti> !info php5-cli
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> ewwww s/w raid is nasty
[09:05] <idefine> ikonia: I agree that the $800 is worth spending, but I would rather do a software raid if I'm not loosing much on performance and it works just about the same.
[09:06] <ziroday> ActionParsnip: well try it out, but my guess would be that fluxbox+kde apps use less ram then kde+kde apps.
[09:06] <ActionParsnip> ziroday: thats what I was after :)
[09:06] <ziroday> ActionParsnip: thats my estimate though, test it out
[09:06] <gldtn> hello... may someone help me with MPD? it was working fine after I installed it.. but after restarting the cpu and trying to run mpd I get this --> http://pastebin.com/d3bda118d
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> ziroday: well i kinda am but my ram values jump pretty wildly as the system is accessed by a few systems
[09:08] <ziroday> ActionParsnip: well if its a server then and you're worried about ram usage then I wouldn't even be starting X/
[09:08] <ActionParsnip> gldtn: sudo chown the ~/.mpd folder to the right user
[09:08] <ActionParsnip> ziroday: i just want max resources. I'm considering torentflux, amarok xul remote works nicecly with my G1 phone :)
[09:09] <ziroday> ActionParsnip: okay
[09:09] <ziroday> ActionParsnip: well my bet would still lie with fluxbox
[09:09] <ActionParsnip> ziroday: i'm gonna stick another 1Gb in to max the board out but i was just curious
[09:09] <ActionParsnip> ziroday: thats what I figured, thanks :)
[09:11] <gldtn> ActionParsnip, I did sudo chown -R gldtn ~/.mpd but still get the same
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> Does anyone have any info on the actual difference between desktop and server installs except the lack of an X server by default??
[09:11] <gldtn> even when I just do sudo chown gldtn ~/.mpd
[09:12] <mikewu> try writing the ~ as /home/gldtn
[09:12] <ActionParsnip> gldtn: try: sudo chmod 755 ~/.mpd
[09:12] <ActionParsnip> gldtn: what is the output of: file ~/.mpd/mpd.db
[09:14] <gldtn> ActionParsnip, /home/gldtn/.mpd/mpd.db: UTF-8 Unicode English text
[09:14] <genii> When the system boots the init.d mpd script is running as root. So ~/.mpd   is /root/.mpd     and not the place it currently is when you're running the init.d script as regular user
[09:15] <genii> (which in the paste is how it's being called)
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> genii: surely root will have access by default, as it is root
[09:15] <gldtn> mikewu, I thought of that.. but this config was working fine before I restarted the computer
[09:16] <shams1> i have a dedicated server and i want to monitoring all of that. from apache and mysql to system resources like ram and cpu usage. whats is your suggested application for doing this easily?
[09:16] <genii> ActionParsnip: Sure. But the regular username won't benefir since the .mpd file he wants is in unreadable to him /root
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> gldtn: could try sudo chmod -R 775 ~/.mpd
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> genii: oic
[09:17] <idefine> ikonia: what do you think about this card: http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/products/Controllers/Hardware/sata/performance/SAS-5805/
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> genii: wont it be accessible though as he is restarting the services via sudo?
[09:17] <ikonia> idefine: you need to check if it's supported
[09:17] <genii> ActionParsnip: From his paste: gldtn@gldtn-laptop:~$ /etc/init.d/mpd start                 <-- no sudo there
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> idefine: 1.2GHz Dual Core RAID on Chip (ROC)    thats nearly as fast as my fastest system cpu :)
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> genii: hmm
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> idefine: i'd check the HCL to see which will work without hassle
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> gldtn: does it work ok with: sudo /etc/init.d/mpd restart
[09:19] <gldtn> ActionParsnip, no, not even with sudo
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> idefine: thats an awesome card
[09:20] <gldtn> is it possible to be a bug on this.. anyone here encountered this problem before with MPD?
[09:20] <mikewu> gldtn: try sudo pkill -9 mpd && mpd
[09:20] <gldtn> Im running ubuntu 8.10
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> yeah if its running its gonna lock the db file
[09:20] <gldtn> mikewu, should I try running it again?
[09:21] <mikewu> try connecting with whatever client you use
[09:21] <mikewu> and try playing something
[09:22] <gldtn> mikewu, I cant connect
[09:22] <mikewu> what's the error?
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> gldtn: if you run netstat -a does mpd feature in the list?
[09:23] <gldtn> sonata doesn't give me an error
[09:23] <ZeZu> firefox uses the same rendering engine in windows and linux ?
[09:24] <ZeZu> images like pixelated in ubuntu, is there a way to smooth them ?
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> ZeZu: i'd imagine so
[09:24] <ZeZu> look*
[09:24] <ziroday> ZeZu: look pixelated? Can you take a screenshot
[09:24] <hay_ig2000> hi all, in the default keyring, should i enter everytime the password to access the wireless network?
[09:25] <savvas> ZeZu: you mean they look pixelated when you zoom in?
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> ZeZu: press ctrl + minus key
[09:25] <hay_ig2000> is there a way to remember password?
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> ZeZu: also try: View > Zoom > Zoom text only
[09:25] <hay_ig2000> seahorse
[09:25] <histo> hay_ig2000: that is a bug if you search forums you will find a fix
[09:25] <hay_ig2000> ok
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> ZeZu: what version of firefox?
[09:26] <ZeZu> I've tried these things, and i do want my images to zoom as well (or else things look very odd, and i have to use zoom or they are tiny)
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> ZeZu: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/37453
[09:26] <ZeZu> yes i've read that already
[09:26] <ZeZu> and they look grainy / a bit pixelated
[09:26] <gldtn> ActionParsnip, did not see anything related to mpd with; netstat -a |more
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> ZeZu: which firefox are you running?
[09:26] <ZeZu> they are much smoother running firefox 3.x  let me check exact version
[09:27] <ZeZu> (under windows : much smoother, same version i think)
[09:27] <savvas> ZeZu: can you show us the image you are trying to see? link?
[09:27] <ZeZu> indeed 3.06
[09:27] <ZeZu> savvas: any image
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> ZeZu: good its the stable release
[09:27] <mikewu> gldtn: try netstat -nlp | grep mpd
[09:27] <ZeZu> ie:  google logo
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> ZeZu: ok try: killall firefox; mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla_old; firefox $
[09:28] <gldtn> (Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
[09:28] <gldtn>  will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> bah, replace $ with &
[09:28] <ZeZu> its not a huge deal,  actually the dpi settings sticking is prob a lot more important
[09:28] <gldtn> sorry for the paste
[09:28] <ZeZu> ok one sec
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> ZeZu: this will rename your firefox profile just to test
[09:28] <gldtn> ActionParsnip, thats what I got
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> ZeZu: we can rename it back
[09:28] <ZeZu> i see what it does ;p
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> ZeZu: i assume nothing in here
[09:29] <mikewu> gldtn: try again with sudo
[09:29] <savvas> hay_ig2000: make a weird password phrase, e.g. "a dead cow with lots of pink sugar please" - your brain can remember things that sound more weird
[09:29] <ZeZu> ActionParsnip: doesn't help
[09:29] <gldtn> mikewu, nothing is returned
[09:30] <mikewu> gldtn: how about sudo ps -ef | grep mpd
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> ZeZu: ok, delete the newly created profile folder and rename back so you have your original profile folder
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> ZeZu: so we know its not profile related
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> ZeZu: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --reinstall install firefox
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> oooh new wine updates :)
[09:32] <gldtn> mikewu, root     14381 20472  0 04:17 pts/2    00:00:00 nano /etc/mpd.conf - gldtn    19454 20472  0 04:31 pts/2    00:00:00 grep mpd
[09:32] <gldtn>  - root     25958 20472  0 03:23 pts/2    00:00:00 nano /etc/mpd.conf
[09:32] <rjelari> hi al
[09:32] <savvas> ZeZu: so wait, you're zooming in manually (ctrl + mouse scroll up/down) on images in firefox? there's no software that will smoothen tiny images, it's normal to appear pixelated since you zoom into them
[09:32] <isha> hi all
[09:32] <mikewu> well mpd wasn't even running
[09:32] <mrpinky> is there a way to delete every file in a directory using ftp? i tried mdelete * but it is prompting me for every file :( i found a gui client that can delete them all, but it has to get the listing first, and the server restricts the listing to 2000 files at a time
[09:32] <mikewu> just run mpd
[09:32] <mikewu> see if you can connect
[09:32] <isha> how can i build upnp server in my ubuntu box?
[09:33] <Favorit> idefine: sorry, work took me over :)
[09:33] <Favorit> idefine: where were we at again... did you manage to fix it yet?
[09:33] <gldtn> mikewu, I keep on getting Segmentation fault
[09:33] <shruggar> using the NetworkManager applet, I've edited "Auto eth0" to use a static IP address. This works fine, but whenever I reboot, a new "Auto eth0" is added and connected by default. How can I make it use only the one I have set up? /etc/network/interfaces does not contain any entry for "eth0"
[09:34] <mikewu> gldtn: try mpd --no-daemon --verbose
[09:34] <hbekel> mrpinky: don't know about ftp, but ncftp has a -f (force) option for that
[09:34] <savvas> mrpinky: try lftp and mrm
[09:34] <Favorit> idefine: aha, looking at your last message. yeah, it can be the case, basically having boot partition on anything that requires drivers is a dangerous idea if you wanna "go with the flow" of updates.
[09:35] <Favorit> idefine: possible options now to recover would be to generate an initrd with the right drivers for your kernel and boot up from some alternative media (usb stick or whatnot), and then see if you can do the same for your system drive
[09:35] <gldtn> mikewu, http://pastebin.com/m28b9d085
[09:36] <ZeZu> savvas: there are plenty of filters that will do a good job at upscaling images first of all, and it manages to look good in the same browser in other places (windows, macos, ubuntu installs i've ran before)
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> shruggar: if you edit the interfaces line it will supercede anything network manager does
[09:36] <idefine> Favorit: I will just reinstall the system (just installed it).
[09:36] <idefine> put /boot on another drive (not on raid)
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> shruggar: if you are using a desktop pc which will always take dhcp you can remove network manager and just use the interfaces file
[09:36] <ZeZu> savvas: also i dont know the size of these images exactly how small they are ... some of them may not even be small i'll take a look at a large image and see
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> ZeZu: is firfox ok now?
[09:37] <mrpinky> savvas: lftp with mrm works thanks :)
[09:37] <mikewu> gldtn: try deleting the database and recreating it
[09:37] <ikonia> idefine: just stop using rocket raid
[09:37] <ikonia> idefine: use the rocket raid card as a jbod - so you don't need any "drivers"
[09:37] <shruggar> ActionParsnip: but there /is/ no interfaces line, is my point :)  and I don't ever want to use DHCP. Can I just tell networkmanager to only use the connection I've defined?
[09:37] <Favorit> idefine: ah, well, while at it, move /boot somewhere out of raid if you have such an option
[09:37] <ikonia> idefine: then use software raid with the jbod
[09:37] <ZeZu> ActionParsnip: no that didn't change anything either
[09:38] <piet44> the following line doesnt work as a cronjob; not all files are copied in the tar. what am i doing wrong?: tar -C /var/www/dokuwiki -c -v -j -f /storage/dokuwiki/dokuwiki-backup-`/bin/date +%Y%m%d`.tar.bz2 conf data lib
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> ZeZu: you could completely uninstall (and purge) firefox and all its dependancies, then reinstall it
[09:38] <ZeZu> i have
[09:39] <brEz-> hello, in the terminal when it shows; name@hostname:~$, is there anyway to change that to eg; [name@hostname]:
[09:39] <brEz-> ?
[09:39] <idefine> ikonia: well my motherboard can support all my drives I should just not use the raid controller, plug into that and setup software raid, what do you think?
[09:39] <ikonia> pejay: thats not a valid command
[09:39] <ikonia> idefine: sounds sensible
[09:39] <pejay> ikonia: ?
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> ZeZu: sudo apt-get --purge remove firefox; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install firefox
[09:39] <ikonia> pejay: tar cjfg fil.tar /var/www/dokuwiki
[09:39] <sky_> which channel have wine ?
[09:39] <ikonia> pejay: tar cjvf sorry
[09:39] <pejay> ikonia: Ah, i don't think you meant me
[09:39] <ikonia> sky_: #winehq
[09:39] <savvas> ZeZu: so I trust that you will use those filters and create a firefox plugin that makes images better while zoomed in :)
[09:39] <gldtn> mikewu, I deleted it.. tried running it again and I guess I had to set the audio output in my mpd.config file.. its working now... whats the best way to start mpd on startup?
[09:40] <ikonia> pejay: well spotted, sorry
[09:40] <sky_> ikonia: thank you i tought that wine-hq :D
[09:40] <pejay> ikonia: np :)
[09:40] <orly_owl> Would Ubuntu 8.04 work well on an IBM ThinkCentre S50 8184?
[09:40] <Favorit> ActionParsnip: I bet you have an irc alias for that command and you just have to type the name of the package :P
[09:40] <ikonia> piet44 tar cjvf file.tar /var/www/dokuwiki
[09:40] <ikonia> orly_owl: check for the supported hardware
[09:40] <ZeZu> savvas: if there was some need, maybe i would,  but i do not think there is need, it works properly in most places
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> Favorit: i wish ;)
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> Favorit: dont think pidgin is tat smart :D
[09:41] <Favorit> ActionParsnip: I'd replace those ;s with &&s actually.
[09:41] <Favorit> ActionParsnip: since most people who require that guidance can't figure out if it went allright or not, if it fails it can screw something up :)
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> Favorit: well the previos command success isnt hugely impacting
[09:41] <Favorit> ActionParsnip: depends on what failed :)
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> Favorit: if firefox doesnt remove, autoremove wont do much
[09:42] <arooni> i have a sound blaster live card;  i upgraded from hardy => intrepid;  but intrepid thinks its just one output when its 5.1
[09:42] <arooni> how do i fix?
[09:42] <Favorit> ActionParsnip: yeah, well, maybe not in this case, although I've learned from my own typoerrors or whatnot that having && is very nice against extra grey hair :)
[09:42] <brEz-> hello, in the terminal when it shows; name@hostname:~$, is there anyway to change that to eg; [name@hostname]:
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> Favorit: oh they are definately beneficial

[09:43] <gldtn> ActionParsnip, mikewu ; do you guys use conky?
[09:43] <brEz-> lol
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> Favorit: it is but i can't remember the thing to say
[09:43] <mikewu> gldtn: the /etc/init.d/mpd would probably be the best way
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> gldtn: used to
[09:43] <ZeZu> so how about dpi setting?  it doesn't seem to stick ... or to save the zoom setting.. my resolution is set to 1080p which is native for the monitor, gnome dpi settings look good, firefox fails here too

[09:44] <ghindo> Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 8.04.2 on my laptop.  I've installed all of the proper codecs, but I can't seem to get any sort of audio going.  Can anybody help me?

[09:45] <Favorit> yup :)

[09:48] <Cool_Nick> I just installe dubuntu and am trying to figure out how to configure dnsmasq...it is running and cant find it in init.d or a configuration file in its deafult directory.  What is running it and How do I configure it?
[09:50] <savvas> Cool_Nick: for a list of files in a package: dpkg -L dnsmasq
[09:50] <savvas> Cool_Nick: for a list of manual pages: man -k dnsmasq
[09:50] <savvas> :)
[09:50] <macMini2> anyone know how to install Prolink H9601 ADSL USB Modem in Ubuntu ?
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> dnsmasq ia AWESOME!
[09:51] <DGRick> I lately installed some mailing stuff to get the PHP mail() function to work, now it tells me. You Have 1 Mail. How do I read it?
[09:51] <Cool_Nick> It says its not installed...but it IS running with ps ax and it was selected durign the installation of ubuntu
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> macMini2: lsusb will give you a start. you can websearch for the identifying hex code for guides
[09:52] <Cool_Nick> How do I remove something that supposedly isn't installed?
[09:52] <DGRick> sudo apt-get remove dnsmasq
[09:52] <DGRick> and see what happens
[09:52] <savvas> DGRick: type mail
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> Cool_Nick: what do you want to remove?
[09:52] <DGRick> thanks savvas
[09:52] <creek23_> hi, why nautilus telling me that there's no space left (0 bytes) when I just removed more than a 100MB of files?
[09:52] <Cool_Nick> dnsmasq
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> creek23_: try df -h
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> Cool_Nick: sudo apt-get --purge remove dnsmasq
[09:53] <nigel> guys so I don't annoy anyone I am a newb with a bug on Jaunty Alpha 4 wishing to discuss a bug on 2 seperate machines after latest update?
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> Cool_Nick: failing that, install it again then uninstall
[09:53] <nigel> is this the right place.
[09:53] <DGRick> you have new mail in /var/mail/rick
[09:53] <savvas> nigel: /join #ubuntu+1
[09:53] <ikonia> nigel: jaunty is disscussed in #ubuntu+1
[09:53] <DGRick> But the mail command just suggested some clients I guess
[09:53] <ikonia> nigel: and if you a new user, running development versions is not a good idea
[09:54] <nigel> well been using for a year...I know but wanted to contribute.
[09:54] <gldtn> ActionParsnip, ok it seems to be calling the correct file.. the only thing is that it seems like configuration is wrong?? it works fine under the current one I have
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> gldtn: then edit the file to make it right
[09:54] <gldtn> ActionParsnip, Ill investigate under googling
[09:54] <Cool_Nick> the apt-get remove with and without purge fail as it says its not installed...I guess teh ubuntu installation failed to anounce it.  Im isntallign it again, hopefully it wont load it up twice
[09:54] <nigel> the error is on the loader it halts on a 6 cycle after setting advanced power management level to 0xfe (254)
[09:55] <ikonia> Cool_Nick: how did you install it ?
[09:55] <ikonia> nigel: you where just told "not here2
[09:55] <triptec> could someone tell me why tasksel has "(must install )" beside Ubuntu Studio desktop???
[09:55] <ikonia> nigel: this is not the right channel
[09:55] <nigel> I then get a 6x display server error...it has as I said occurred on two machines with different configs.
[09:55] <ikonia> nigel: stop
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> Cool_Nick: sudo dpkg --force-all -r dnsmasq
[09:56] <DGRick> How do I read mail when it says "You have new mail in /var/mail/rick"
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> DGRick: type mail in your terminal
[09:56] <nigel> sorry ikonia...a look down typist...which would be the right channel please?
[09:56] <DGRick> It suggested some programs
[09:56] <ikonia> nigel: the one you have been told 2 times to use #ubuntu+1
[09:56] <savvas> DGRick: "mail" command will give you a text mode to read your mail in console, which are in /var/mail/youruser - you can use numbers (1,2,3,4) and press enter to see the email. type "help" within mail to see the shortcuts and commands to be used with mail
[09:56] <DGRick> ActionParsnip I've recently installed programs like sendmailer or sumthing
[09:56] <nigel> thanks all outta here
[09:57] <DGRick> Savvas: It just gives me some programs that contain the command mail...
[09:57] <Cool_Nick> ikonia:it was installed during the installation (one of the options with lamp, etc...)
[09:57] <Cool_Nick> ActionParsnip: Will try when current installion finishes
[09:57] <ikonia> Cool_Nick: this is a server install ?
[09:57] <cooper> a
[09:57] <gfather> guys
[09:58] <sky_> yes ?
[09:58] <gfather> how can i add a printer connected to a windows pc  ?
[09:58] <savvas> DGRick: sudo apt-get install bsd-mailx
[09:58] <Cool_Nick> ikonia...ya
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> DGRick: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/read-mail-from-varmailuser-with-thunderbird-481687/
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> Cool_Nick: the --force-all is a last ditch and it just goes in with the biggest hammer and beats it into submission. I strongly suggest not using it on a regular basis as it is in no way graceful
[09:59] <DGRick> Thank you ActionParsnip and savvas
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> Cool_Nick: i'd recommend running: sudo apt-get -f install; sudo apt-get update afterwards to make sure everything is nice
[10:00] <JackWinter> !kernel
[10:00] <JackWinter> I've checked out the above, was just wondering if there is a backport kernel repository, or if i could load jaunty kernels into intrepid someway ?
[10:00] <ikonia> JackWinter: no you can't
[10:01] <JackWinter> ikonia: why not ?
[10:01] <ikonia> JackWinter: because they are packaged up with different configs
[10:01] <Cool_Nick> ActionParsnip: --force-all not understood
[10:01] <ikonia> JackWinter: plus they are also unstable builds at the moment
[10:02] <Cool_Nick> ActionParsnip: wait, tried it with aptget trying with dpgk now
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> Cool_Nick: can you give us the pastebin of the output if you try to apt-get remove itplease
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> !paste
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> Cool_Nick: apt-get doesnt have a --force-all
[10:02] <mrglinux> hi there is no input selection in souynd record
[10:03] <JackWinter> ikonia: so my best bet is to get kernel source myself, configure and then build it ?  i just want to test a few things so don't care about the stability.  manage to build some newer kernels but ran into problems with my nvidia drivers while installing.  still don't know enough :)
[10:03] <creek23_> ActionParsnip: after, df -h, what should i expect to happen?
[10:03] <Cool_Nick> 1 sec, will log in from there
[10:03] <creek23_> ActionParsnip: will it try to clean up?
[10:03] <ikonia> JackWinter: do what you wish then
[10:03] <ActionParsnip> creek23_: you will see your partition use in (-h)umanly readable form
[10:03] <ikonia> JackWinter: be aware custom compiled kernels will not be supported ehre
[10:03] <ikonia> here
[10:03] <ActionParsnip> creek23_: try: sudo apt-get clean
[10:04] <mrglinux> fuck all
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> hahaha
[10:04] <big-bro> updated latest updates through update manager and now i cant play any flash videos
[10:04] <ezerhoden> JackWinter: just keep a working kernel and have at it. building a kernel is a good learning experience
[10:04] <JackWinter> ikonia: i am aware of that.  but i want to test newer kernels with -rt enabled for low latency audio...
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> swearing with poor grammar is hilarious
[10:05] <illumin8> :)
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> big-bro: sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-nonfree
[10:05] <illumin8> !clean
[10:05] <illumin8> !autoclean
[10:05] <illumin8> hmm
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> illumin8: man apt-get
[10:06] <illumin8> whats the diffirence
[10:06] <illumin8> ah thanks
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> illumin8: i think autoclean automaticaly does it every time

[10:07] <ActionParsnip> Frogzoo: if you are happy with hardy, stay with it. Don't fix it if it aint broke
[10:07] <jva> what's the app called that handles wireless connections?
[10:07] <Frogzoo> ActionParsnip: but new features is new features...

[10:08] <jva> how do i update a pkg with apt?
[10:08] <histo> !releases | Frogzoo
[10:08] <lixmin> excuse me ,how could i set Java Home?
[10:08] <ikonia> piet44: your syntax is wrong
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> Frogzoo: its essentially the same apps with a diffent kernel with a few tweaks, you could give it a try, see what you reckon
[10:09] <Frogzoo> ActionParsnip: histo aight, thx
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> jva: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[10:09] <piet44> @ikonia manually it works
[10:09] <jva> ActionParsnip, how about a specific pkg
[10:09] <piet44> but not in a cronjob.. then not all files will be copied

[10:11] <Cool_Nick2> ActionParsnip, Thats what shows in ps ax after fresh start
[10:11] <oCean_> piet44: create a script (e.g. /home/mydir/bin/backup.sh) containing your "tar" command. Then insert the backup.sh in your cron. You'll also be able to do a little logging from that backup.sh
[10:11] <Lamerion> i'll give it a go later favorit
[10:11] <gfather> when i go to System \ Administration \ Printing  , its diffrent from others and i dont have smb to add ?

[10:12] <jva> nvm
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> creek23_: you have too much data on /   you are using 6.1Gb or 6.4Gb, you need to uninstall some apps
[10:13] <quibbler> nigel: /join #ubuntu+1

[10:15] <illumin8> creek23_, your at 100 percent for /
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> creek23_: i'd imagine so, read through: dpkg -l | less and uninstall apps you don't use
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> creek23_: like pdf viewers, grapics packages, digital camera support etc etc
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> creek23_: gimp is quite heavy if you never use it, get rid

[10:17] <oCean_> creek23_: also check /var/log for huge logfiles?
[10:17] <ikonia> Cool_Nick2: -l - no -L
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> creek23_: you need to carve some apps out
[10:17] <illumin8> will disk usage analyser show installed apps and usage?
[10:17] <Cool_Nick2> ActionParsnip, The thing ikona suggested was the answer
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> Cool_Nick2: dpkg -l lists all installed apps ;)
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> Cool_Nick2: you got there in the end so groovy :)
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: cheers duder
[10:18] <ShredZ> I've got a busted drive (grub 17, won't mount. lots of IO errors) with 3 partitions (and fdisk still reads the partition table), can anyone suggest a data recovery strategy (e.g. tools, image etc) ?
[10:18] <creek23_> is it okay to simply remove all log files in /var/log
[10:18] <JackWinter> ezerhoden: /usr/src seems to contain only the headers, while it seems like the source it self is installed in /boot ?
[10:18] <ikonia> creek23_: depends if you want them
[10:18] <ezerhoden> JackWinter: not where i would expect it to be
[10:18] <ikonia> JackWinter: no source getis insalled in /boot
[10:19] <ikonia> JackWinter: /boot is for a final compressed kernel image only
[10:19] <ikonia> !kernel > JackWinter
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> ShredZ: you can use dd_rescue to create an image of the drive on another partition, then use foremost on the image to recover the files from the image, some may be corrupted so don't expect miracles
[10:19] <Favorit> !ps1
[10:19] <Favorit> I just taught you, you bastage
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> ShredZ: if the data is this important you should have a backup which you would be able to easily restore
[10:19] <DGRick> How can I check the temperature in ubuntu server
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> Favorit: it needs to be authorised first, I think it's stdin's bot
[10:20] <Favorit> ActionParsnip: yeah, so I heard :)
[10:20] <ikonia> Favorit: only editors can update the bot
[10:20] <ikonia> DGRick: use lmsensors ?
[10:21] <DGRick> ikonia: Well if I recall correctly I once logged out and logged in and I saw temperature etc.
[10:21] <ikonia> DGRick: think you remember wong
[10:21] <big-bro> ActionParsnip - a few days ago i installed the latest updates and ever since then i cannot play flash through my firefox browser, im not sure if one of the packages had anything to do with it..
[10:21] <DGRick> ikonia: But I for sure saw the temperature within ubuntu without installing 3rd party
[10:21] <ikonia> DGRick: lmsensors is not 3rd party
[10:21] <JackWinter> ikonia and ezerhoden: check this out: http://pastebin.com/d28df7422  that is after following the instructions from !kernel
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> big-bro: oic, just close all your browsers down and rerun tem, flash be yours
[10:22] <DGRick> ikonia: Than what is lmsensors?
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> !info lmsensors
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> !find senso
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> !info lm-sensors
[10:22] <ikonia> DGRick: just an application
[10:22] <DGRick> Ya I meant application. sorry I used the wrong word.
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> DGRick: sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
[10:23] <ikonia> DGRick: then you cant do it
[10:23] <DGRick> I'm absolutly sure I saw the temperature with some other stats.
[10:23] <ikonia> DGRick: something needs to monitor it
[10:24] <ezerhoden> JackWinter: well, thats the source.
[10:24] <JackWinter> ezerhoden: so i'll move that over to /usr/src ?
[10:24] <JackWinter> no idea how it go there...
[10:24] <DGRick> installed, but how do I use it?
[10:24] <mikewu> not sure if this is accurate but `cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature` gives me back some reading of temp
[10:25] <ikonia> mikewu: depends how well bios acpi is supported for that board
[10:25] <mikewu> DGRick: run sensors-detect
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> DGRick: try lm-sensors &    in terminal
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> that too
[10:25] <DGRick> ok
[10:26] <ezerhoden> JackWinter: sure. i guess it does not really matter,as long as you don't keep a seperate /boot that only has limited space. it is typical to keep a linux file in /usr/src/ that is a symbolic like to the current source directory which could be anywhere
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> DGRick: you may find an entry for it in your gnome menu some place
[10:26] <big-bro> ActionParsnip - firefox isnt opened, only this forum is, but i just tried opening firefox and the same thing - vids wont play, they just dont load.should i restart computer maybe?
[10:26] <hareldvd> where can I get a package for kaudiocreator?
[10:27] <DGRick> ActionParsnip: It's ubuntu server
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> !find audiocre
[10:27] <DGRick> It detected all the sensors, what now?
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> big-bro: are you running a 64bit linux?
[10:28] <ezerhoden> JackWinter: 'symbolic link' that should read, not 'symbolic like'
[10:28] <mikewu> DGRick: type sensors
[10:28] <shruggar> agh, I got called to a meeting and if anyone answered my question since then, my buffer wasn't large enough to keep it
[10:28] <big-bro> yes i am ActionParsnip
[10:28] <DGRick> wicked, very much appreciated y'all
[10:28] <illumin8> big-bro, and java worked prior to updates?
[10:28] <DGRick> now my last newb question: how to check free space left of my current partition?
[10:29] <shruggar> what I last said was: ActionParsnip: but there /is/ no interfaces line, is my point :)  and I don't ever want to use DHCP. Can I just tell networkmanager to only use the connection I've defined?
[10:29] <JackWinter> ikonia & ezerhoden:  ok, thanks i'll keep learning about kernel compiles
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> big-bro: get this http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.d21.1.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
[10:29] <illumin8> the new 64 bit flash? when was that released?
[10:29] <Flynsarmy> Why can't i delete some of the panel entries created by wine?
[10:30] <oCean_> DGRick: use "df -h"
[10:30] <big-bro> yes, i will go there. thanks champ..
[10:30] <DGRick> awesome thanks
[10:30] <ikonia> illumin8: still in development release
[10:30] <illumin8> ikonia, Ah :)
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> big-bro: run: mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> big-bro: copy the .so in that archive to ~/.mozilla/plugins
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> shruggar: gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> shruggar: auto eth0
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> iface eth0 inet static
[10:31] <big-bro> doing it now..
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> shruggar: replace eth0 with the interface you require and replace the word static with dhcp
[10:32] <chu_> How much will Gnome-do (+ Docky) consume battery life? noticable?
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> !info gnome-do
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> chu_: doesnt gnome-do just open apps from terminal as if you'd double clicked on the file in the gui?
[10:35] <Favorit> hmm
[10:35] <chu_> Pretty much, but it's rather awn-like (without the applets I guess), eye-candy, I read that awn would affect battery life, just wondering how much (if) gnome-do would use...
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> chu_: well then its like any command so it wont affect battery life any more than any other command
[10:36] <chu_> With Docky it becomes awn-like, sorry.
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> ive not read that awn affects battery life
[10:36] <chu_> Let me find the post.
[10:37] <chu_> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1074304

[10:37] <blackjak> guys how can I find out what dns I'm using ?
[10:37] <chu_> I guess he makes a vague reference to awn, but still..
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[10:37] <chu_> Yeah, unfortunately acpi support for my laptop is b0rked under 8.10 at the moment :P
[10:37] <blackjak> is cat not a command for creating a file?
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> chu_: are you using compiz?
[10:38] <chu_> Yep :p
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: it will empty the file to the console, you can use redirection to create a file
[10:38] <chu_> Even without compiz though, heh I decided I can't really use it as a laptop (yet), so I will use it as a desktop until Jaunty :p
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> chu_: then you will make zero difference as you are already using the stuff that awn needs
[10:38] <chu_> In which case, is a re-install so bad :p
[10:39] <chu_> Yep, thanks.
[10:39] <blackjak> ok so cat is like the command less
[10:39] <chu_> without the less :)
[10:39] <Favorit> !help
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: pretty much, you can cat into less to make it readable so the stuff doesnt scroll like mad
[10:40] <blackjak> ok.

[11:05] <ActionParsnip> smokeytheman: no, its a linux binary right now, you need to make a windows binary
[11:05] <smokeytheman> whatever, ill send him the .cpp file

[11:15] <lunix> ohh cool:)  thanks ActionParsnip
[11:15] <AndySpain> ikonia: can't find them
[11:16] <ikonia> AndySpain: does it not say in the application prefernces ?
[11:16] <AndySpain> I had to backup my entire home directory. and now I wanna resume them
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> AndySpain: if you have some running you could just search your system for *.torrent ;)
[11:16] <AndySpain> am here on kde now. does transmission also run on kde? and will it have the same default directories it had under gnome?
[11:16] <blackjak> why does the network manager not obey ?Do I need to log as root to make him obey and stop using dhcp.I want to make a manual connection.
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: you shouldnt be logging on as root, the account is disabled by default
[11:17] <blackjak> I already enable it
[11:18] <pfemo> znyś wciś
[11:18] <Bangers1> Anyone know how to make mouse integration work in Ubuntu 8.10 when its a guest of Vista Host OS in Virtualbox??
[11:18] <Bangers1> everythine else works, except mouse integration
[11:18] <AndySpain> ok, I will try to run transmission with another one
[11:18] <AndySpain> thank you
[11:18] <AndySpain> can i run transmission also undercv kde or is it gnome only?
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: then you have lessened your systems security...well done
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: if you want to manually configure the connection simply edit /etc/network/interfaces
[11:19] <blackjak> how can I create a manual connection and use it?Network manager always use the DHCP
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/
[11:19] <AndySpain> sorry, the c and v were too much. due to rapid typing
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: if you modify the file, it will supercede anything nm can do, you could even uninstall it
[11:20] <Geek`N`Proud> blackjak: man interfaces will help you
[11:20]  * ActionParsnip shakes his head at enabling the root account
[11:20] <blackjak> thank you for the help.So it seems that netwrok manager is useless since he does not do the job, so I have do it in the console
[11:21] <Geek`N`Proud> ActionParsnip: no harm in that.. so long as you don't log in graphically :P
[11:21] <bangalibabu> is there any command to see system information?
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: you can use gksudo gedit to edit the file, then its not in console
[11:21] <Favorit> A good rule of thumb to enabling root account is - if you can't explain to yourself why you need it for what you can't do with sudo - don't unlock.
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> Geek`N`Proud: true but i doubt he does
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> Geek`N`Proud: well does not log in graphically
[11:22] <blackjak> ok but still I can not get connected using the netwrok manager gui
[11:22] <AndySpain> bye
[11:22] <g00se> Trying to use http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_1.0.10ubuntu1~intrepid1_all.deb to build a chroot from Debian. I'm getting "./usr/sbin/debootstrap: line 23: /usr/share/debootstrap/functions: No such file or directory" so it looks like it's not correctly relativising paths. Am i missing something?
[11:22] <Geek`N`Proud> Favorit: true
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: you dont need it, after editting the file run: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: there is noting your user account cannot do that root cannot do, the root account gives you nothing and lessens security now you have enabled it.
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: out of curiosity, why did you enable it?
[11:23] <nETspideR> damn
[11:24] <Favorit> Moreover, if you need root shell - sudo -i/sudo -s is a native replacement :)
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> Favorit: exactly, i just wanna hear whats coming next
[11:24] <blackjak> because it is easier to do things in the system.Copy files and folder anywhere, read , change with other words it is a lot more easier for me that typing sudo and gksudo
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: you can sudo cp stuff or even gksudo nautilus if need be
[11:25] <Favorit> blackjak: if you need to copy files on the system too much outside of your homedir, there's something wrong
[11:25] <Favorit> blackjak: but even if you do, just open terminal, type sudo -s and voila, root shell
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: running your whole x server and gnome as root is massively unsafe, its not disabled just to make you type sudo for laughs, its actually massivly beneficial
[11:26] <Favorit> blackjak: having various user applications running as root is potentially very insecure.
[11:26] <Animator> is thee any way i can revert back to my old nova t500 drivers on ubuntu ?
[11:26] <Favorit> blackjak: and if you're unhappy about having to type in password for sudo commands, just add NOPASSWD: ALL to sudoers
[11:27] <lunix> ActionParsnip:  Thanks a lot, changing keyboard layout in xorg.conf fixed it!
[11:27] <Favorit> although that's also not a very good idea, but well, easens things up
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> lunix: awesome dude :)
[11:27] <bangalibabu_> is there any bash command to see system information?
[11:27] <Favorit> bangalibabu_: what kind of information?
[11:27] <zxd> where's the link that explains how to create packages
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> lunix: xorg.conf is trying to get lessened in functionality but it can save the day :)
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> bangalibabu_: system info in what sense?
[11:28] <blackjak> what could happen I do not understand.Everybody says it is unsafe but no one says exactly what  the danger is
[11:28] <Favorit> blackjak: let me put it simple for you
[11:29] <Favorit> blackjak: program X has a vulnerability. while that program is running under user Y, compromising it will only lead to compromising what user Y can do on the system. When program X runs under root - compromising it == compromising the system
[11:29] <gldtn> smile your on camera ;D
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: well when you run apps they have the control of the account you own, if  that app malfunctions and starts writing spurious rubbish to the system it can harm the system. If its a web app, its running as root and any java / flash applet will also get root priveledges so can do anything to your system
[11:29] <Favorit> blackjak: now, that's one example. now imagine that while running Xorg & co you're running dozens of applications.
[11:29] <carpii__> theres also human error. One day youll be grateful when you try to delete a wrong directory by accident, to be told that you dont have permissions
[11:29] <D_likescookies> gmorning everyone.
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: if someone starts to attack your system and infiltrates a process s/he will gain the running rights of that user, if this is a user rather than root the access is significantly less
[11:30] <Favorit> bangalibabu_: please don't pm me, i'm barely following the channel, let alone private messages
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: any file created by root will be owned by root, if they are required by other users they will need to be chown / chmodded for the user to get proper access
[11:30] <Favorit> carpii__: hehe, rm -rf file<space>* instead of rm -rf file* has brought me a LOT of extra grey hair one day ;)
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: want me to continue?
[11:31] <bangalibabu_> favorit: okay
[11:31] <zxd> !package basics
[11:31] <carpii__> :P
[11:31] <zxd> !packages
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: the account is disabled for a good reason
[11:31] <Favorit> bangalibabu_: but the question: you can use "top" to see running processes, you can use "df" to see disk space, you can use "ifconfig" to see VERy basic net stats
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: why do you think all the documentation in guides uses sudo and gksudo
[11:31] <bangalibabu_> favorit: e.g.cpu history, network usage, disks usage............
[11:31] <laxmi> hello any one I am facing a problem to run utf-8 in terminal
[11:31] <Favorit> zxd: google up "creating debian packages"
[11:31] <blackjak> well I thought that linux can not be invaded by malicious code, like viruses in IWndows
[11:32] <zxd> Favorit, there is an ubuntu guide
[11:32] <Favorit> laxmi: ow? why's that
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: there is malicious code
[11:32] <adam7> blackjak: it can, but it can't do anything if you run as a normal user
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: just not so many virii
[11:32] <adam7> well, it can't infect the entire system, anyway.
[11:32] <carpii__> blackjak, its only more secure if you allow it to have control
[11:32] <laxmi> hello
[11:32] <Favorit> zxd: s/debian/ubuntu/ although the packages are identical for what concerns making those
[11:32] <carpii__> running everything as root and youre as vulnerable as windows
[11:33] <blackjak> in other words there are viruses for linux too.
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: a flash app could have code to check OS then put some nice garbage text in a part of your kernel files, reboot system and poof, no bootup
[11:33] <laxmi> hi favorit
[11:33] <lunix> I have a RADEON x1950 card in my computer, but I had a really hard time getting drivers to work, a week or two ago there came some big update from ATI, anyone knows if these cards work "out of the box" now?  Im afraid to start to mess with it, since ill probably mess up all configurations in system, and Im very happy about the system now (except for the graphic rendering:))
[11:33] <Favorit> blackjak: that's a myth. linux can be invaded, any OS can be invaded, it's a matter of proper use. even windows can be jailed to the point where the invader won't get jack by invading it, it's just the fact that 99.9% of services are running from system accounts in windows make it totally crappy, and by using root everywhere on linux you bring it up to the same point abouts.
[11:33] <Chousuke> blackjak: they're rare
[11:34] <Favorit> laxmi: hi
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: running that as a user would have only read access so the data is unmodifiable
[11:34] <Chousuke> blackjak: because people do not run as root, viruses can't easily infect the entire system
[11:34] <Chousuke> blackjak: for example, they can't modify any executables.
[11:34] <carpii__> you should get a good linux intro book if youre even questioning this
[11:34] <zxd> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide
[11:34] <Chousuke> blackjak: unless you have some in your home direcotry.
[11:34] <Favorit> actually...
[11:34] <Favorit> !packaging
[11:35] <Favorit> hah
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: its your system at the end of the day but we can keep going all day why root is disabled
[11:35] <eth01> hm
[11:35] <chelz> is there somewhere that says canonical or the ubuntu projects official stance on whether to use 32bit or 64bit versions of ubuntu?
[11:35] <ikonia> chelz: its your choice
[11:35] <Favorit> chelz: the only stance is your amount of memory really :)
[11:35] <Chousuke> most importantly, root is disabled because for a casual user, root is an unnecessary complication
[11:35] <blackjak> I see.
[11:35] <gldtn> since you guys re speaking about root.. I just remembered me when I tried running xchat under root in slackware.. it told me it was stupid lol
[11:35] <chelz> ikonia: well they must recommend one or the other
[11:36] <ikonia> chelz: no they mustenet
[11:36] <ikonia> chelz: it's your choice
[11:36] <adam7> gldtn: xsane does the same thing
[11:36] <carpii__> not really. theyd like people to use 64-bit to get things more stable, but they fall short of recommending it, because its not ready for all tasks
[11:36] <Chousuke> the system will prompt you when it needs authorisation to do something
[11:36] <Favorit> gldtn: and it was damn right! :D
[11:36] <chelz> ikonia: is there any measure of which is more stable?
[11:36] <Chousuke> sudo and related mechanisms allow this
[11:36] <gldtn> kkk yeah it was
[11:36] <Favorit> irc'ing as root calls for trouble :)
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> haah irc client as root, textbook
[11:36] <ikonia> chelz: no
[11:37] <ikonia> chelz: they are both the same
[11:37] <Animator> Will loging into the old ubuntu distro be like a fresh install ?
[11:37] <Favorit> we used to have k-lines for root@* in efNet back in the days
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> flash / java as root is equally bad
[11:37] <eth01> Favorit: great, but nobody really cares
[11:37] <gldtn> hahahah i found it cool that it warns you in such manner :D
[11:37] <eth01> moving on.
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> eth01: wasup
[11:37] <zxd> shouldn't i get a dialog menu when I type " dpkg-reconfigure locales " ?
[11:37] <AlfieH> Hello people, I would like a new theme for my Ubuntu... How would i do so?
[11:38] <ikonia> AlfieH: get one from gnome-look.org
[11:38] <Favorit> eth01: hm? what's your problem?
[11:38] <Jampiter> AlfieH: There's loads at www.gnome-look.org
[11:38] <AlfieH> I got one, downloads in a file... How do i install it mate?
[11:38] <bangalibabu_> is there any bash command for checking disks usage
[11:38] <ikonia> AlfieH: open the theme manager application from system->prefernces
[11:38] <ikonia> bangalibabu_: df -h
[11:38] <Jampiter> AlfieH: YOu install them by dragging the downloaded file onto the white box in appearance
[11:38] <Jampiter> AlfieH: This will install it automatically
[11:39] <ikonia> !themes
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> Jampiter: sure you mean automagically ;)
[11:39] <ikonia> AlfieH: it is all documented there
[11:39] <Jampiter> ActionParsnip: Hehe :p
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> eth01: wassup duder?
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> Jampiter: its a linux phrase :D
[11:39] <gldtn> AlfieH, goto System > Preferences > Appearance and drag the tar.gz file to it
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> afaik
[11:39] <Jampiter> ActionParsnip: I see :p
[11:39] <bangalibabu_> is there any command for checking for network usage?
[11:39] <ikonia> bangalibabu_: ifconfig
[11:40] <AlfieH> Ive downloaded this one : http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/MacOS-X+Aqua+Theme?content=13548
[11:40] <ikonia> AlfieH: I've just passed you the documentations
[11:40] <ikonia> !themes | AlfieH
[11:40] <bangalibabu_> thank you ikonia
[11:40] <AlfieH> It has like sorry wrong one.
[11:41] <blackjak> right now I'm logged as a user.But still it is very anoying when you do something and you do it right.I mean in the gui interface.It is easy.Everybody can do it without need to know the commands in linux.However then nothing happens.So I'm guessing it is because I do not have a root  previlleges (wrong spelled)  like when I want to make a manual connection to the internet without using DHCP.
[11:41] <AlfieH> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Yakano+-Colors-?content=95885 < It has more than 1 download file.... what do i do with the rest?
[11:41] <ikonia> blackjak: change it then
[11:41] <lunix> Is there a way of taking a complete backup of my system?? I would like to get my x1950 card to work, but im sure it will mess up everything.. :|
[11:41] <ikonia> AlfieH: I've just passed you the documentation on how to do it
[11:41] <ikonia> AlfieH: read the documentation I've passed you
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: you use gksudo gedit to edit the interfaces file, or sudo nano / sudo vi to edit in the console
[11:42] <adam7> !backup | lunix
[11:42] <blackjak> well network manager does not show me a dialog to type password
[11:42] <Favorit> blackjak: well, look, noone _forces_ you to not to use root. You can also use teaspoon to dig the 2nd english channel, it's a matter of personal preference. What many people are implying is that it's simply bad habit and is discouraged. Nothing more :)
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: the rest of your system is running as user but only that one commmand is running as root which is al lthat you need
[11:42] <adam7> blackjak: network manager uses a daemon that runs in the background and does not require you to enter a password
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: the whole OS doesnt need to be running as root to edit a text file, only the app editing the file does (if the file happens to be owned by root)
[11:44] <ZaltysZ> Hello, I have ubuntu hardy and quit dialog shows only after 30-50s after I press quit the first time. I've read that this could happen if gnome-power-manager isn't running, however on my system it is running.
[11:44] <lunix> thanks ubottu and adam7!  Ill do some reading:)
[11:45] <blackjak> Ok I'll keep in mind what we have discussed here.
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> ZaltysZ: you coul try reinstalling the package
[11:45] <AlfieH> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Yakano+-Colors-?content=95885 < It has files for compiz and beryl?
[11:45] <zxd> how do i set the default locale in ubuntu
[11:45] <ikonia> AlfieH: you've just posted that
[11:45] <ZaltysZ> ActionParsnip, tried
[11:45] <ikonia> AlfieH: read the docs you where sent - it walks you through it
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> !locale | zxd
[11:47] <nETspideR> hei
[11:47] <nETspideR> i made an email server
[11:47] <nETspideR> i mail to someone when he try to mail back says
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> nETspideR: wtg :)
[11:47] <nETspideR> Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 550 Unrouteable address
[11:47] <ikonia> nETspideR: sounds like you don't have an MX record
[11:48] <nETspideR> how do i make that
[11:48] <ikonia> nETspideR: or your ISP is blocking you ports (quite common)
[11:48] <farciarz84> I working over ssh with emacs, why I can't see colorful syntax of my code?
[11:48] <ikonia> nETspideR: you need access to your DNS zone files
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> nETspideR: did you register your email domain somplace so it can be resolved to your ip
[11:48] <nETspideR> no i didnt
[11:48] <nETspideR> where i can register an email domain
[11:48] <lvlefisto> which is the command to view the current bandwidth in use by every program running?
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> nETspideR: www.no-ip.com
[11:49] <ikonia> nETspideR: any domain registrra, google it
[11:49] <ikonia> lvlefisto: ntop
[11:49] <nETspideR> ok ill go eat and then back to register
[11:49] <lvlefisto> ikonia: thanks
[11:49] <AlfieH> the site you sent me dosent help me install this theme.... theres more than 1 files, Like colours etc.... But i think it needs diffrent theme managers?
[11:49] <gflc> \list
[11:50] <ikonia> AlfieH: thats right - you want a metacity theme
[11:50] <blackjak> what was the command for making sudo and gksudo to nor ask for a password
[11:50] <ikonia> blackjak: you edit the sudoers file
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> blackjak: scroll up the chat, you will see it
[11:51] <zxd> ActionParsnip, it dosen't say how to set the default locale , just how to generate it
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> zxd: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=234927
[11:52] <Vinceman> why does ubuntu not yet have a 'minimize-all-button', did you not yet reverse engineer it?
[11:53] <ikonia> Vinceman: it does
[11:53] <ikonia> Vinceman: bottom left of your gnome desktop
[11:53] <adam7> Vinceman: or ctrl+alt+d
[11:53] <Vinceman> ok thx
[11:53] <Vinceman> haivasta!
[11:53] <carpii__> and theres no need to reverse engineer something thats open source ;D
[11:53] <AlfieH> ikonia, so how would i install this theme.... Im bare new to ubuntu so tbh... Im like a retard :D
[11:54] <ikonia> AlfieH: you download the theme file - and drag it into the appearance window as the docuents/people in this channel have said
[11:54] <Vinceman> carpii__ but I supposed you got inspiration for the idea from windows?
[11:54] <lunix> To make a complete image of my harddrive I can use sbackup i think. Will this make it possible to "install" ubuntu over again from my backup?
[11:54] <ikonia> Vinceman: no - please don't start that sort of pointless argument
[11:55] <Aperculum> how do I change the default encoding of gnome-terminal
[11:55] <AlfieH> yeh i done that.... but the theme looks nothing like the theme on the site.
[11:55] <Aperculum> it always goes back to utf-8 and I have to change it manually from menu
[11:55] <ikonia> AlfieH: contact the theme owner then
[11:55] <ikonia> AlfieH: we don't support 3rd party peoples themes
[11:55] <Favorit> Aperculum: edit default profile
[11:56] <Aperculum> encoding is not in the profile
[11:56] <Aperculum> I've searched, it's not there

[12:00] <Favorit> Aperculum: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-terminal/+bug/3923
[12:01] <Favorit> Aperculum: seems to be another religious war between the ideals of the coder and the usability of the software :)
[12:02] <Aperculum> well, commandline option sure would help me since I don't want to change locale for my whole system
[12:03] <Aperculum> just when I ssh to non-utf8 system
[12:04] <giacomo__> hello
[12:04] <giacomo__> I've messed something up with the sendmail. I was trying to send email from a local apache+php server using phpmailer library+sendmail, but something is not working at service level and I can't trace the problem because every /var/log/mail* log is empty and none of the are being written. How can I quit this stuck point?
[12:04] <LutiusVeratius> hello.I have some problems with my cam drivers.I have Genius Eye 312 web cam,and can anyone tell me how to install it?
[12:04] <Favorit> Aperculum: so far you'll have to rebuild gnome-terminal yourself :)
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> !webcam | LutiusVeratius
[12:05] <LutiusVeratius> I was looking on the forums,but still nothing as I can see...so I was hoping that maybe some has a solution here...
[12:05] <LutiusVeratius> ActionParsnip : I'll look it now.Thanks
[12:05] <arvind_khadri> giacomo__, #ubuntu-server would be of great help
[12:06] <giacomo__> arvind_khadri, thank you
[12:07] <bonkit> Hi, I have enabled ufw firewall and set deny all incoming, but I can still download data from a torrent client. Shouldn't that be blocked now?
[12:07] <alkamid> hello
[12:07] <alkamid> !hostname
[12:07] <Aperculum> Favorit, second from the bottom suggestion seems to work
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> bonkit: did you restart the firewall after modifying the config?
[12:07] <bonkit> Yes!
[12:08] <lunix> If I backup the entire system, will I be able to get system like it is today by installing from normal ubuntu CD and then overwrite all files from my backup?  I see that using ghost is a bad idea using linux :)
[12:08] <Favorit> Aperculum: yeah, that would do it allright, although it's total bonkers that it's not in profiles, it is a damn trivial change that they've been refusing for the past 4 years so to see :)
[12:09] <alkamid> I've just made a fresh minimal ubuntu install and I can't get my ssh alias working
[12:09] <adam7> lunix: just use something that preserves permissions to make a copy of the entire filesystem (from /) and when you want your system back, copy the backed up files back onto the drive
[12:09] <alkamid> I used to write "ssh home" and it worked
[12:09] <alkamid> I copied my /etc/host file from the old machine
[12:10] <bonkit> ActionParsnip: I shouldn't have to edit iptables manually right? ufw overrides whatever settings there were?
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> alkamid: if you ping home   does it resolve correctly?
[12:10] <osp> hi all, my gdmgreeteris segfaulting any idea how to get it fixed?
[12:10] <alkamid> and now when I type "ssh home" it says "Could not resolve hostname home: Name or service not known"
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> bonkit: i'm not sure i dont use ufw
[12:10] <adam7> alkamid: what does your /etc/host look like?
[12:11] <Favorit> alkamid: it should be called /etc/hosts, not /etc/host
[12:11] <thinkmonkeys> i want to remove pulseaudio to get skype working but it says it will remove ubuntu-desktop too?? that doesn't sound good, what shall i do?
[12:11] <alkamid> ActionParsnip: nope, it says "unknown host home"
[12:11] <alkamid> Favorit: it was a typing mistake, sorry
[12:12] <alkamid> ActionParsnip: however, if I ping the full name (something.endoftheinternet.org) it pings okay
[12:12] <Favorit> alkamid: yeah, just saying in case that's also the typing mistake you did with the file, that can cause the fact that it doesn't work
[12:12] <Favorit> alkamid: look for "search" in /etc/resolv.conf, it should include your local domain name
[12:12] <Favorit> alkamid: if you want short hostnames to resolve
[12:13] <Stueh> Does anyone know if the install files downloaded using Add/Remove are saved somewhere for temp so I don't have to download them again?
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> alkamid: is the word home in your hosts file in lower case too, hosts file is case sensitive like the rest of your system
[12:13] <Favorit> Stueh: apt cache should there be, yes
[12:13] <alkamid> ActionParsnip: yes it is
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> Stueh: /etc/cache/apt
[12:13] <Aperculum> well, thanks a lot, you're my Favorit ;)
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> alkamid: try: nslookup home
[12:13] <Favorit> Aperculum: hehe, you're welcome, google rocks ;)
[12:14] <alkamid> ActionParsnip: here's a line from my hosts file: "something.endoftheinternet.org home"
[12:14] <Stueh> Thankyou Favorit and alkamid
[12:14] <ActionParsnip> alkamid: do you have read access to the hosts file?
[12:14] <lunix> adam7: Thanks Ill do that:)   much much much easier than with windows!! :D
[12:14] <Favorit> Stueh: /var/cache/apt/archive
[12:14] <cdnexus> Every single time a new Kernal installs I have to manually correct it. It sets the partitions to the wrong HDD number. Any idea how I can fix that?
[12:14] <IntuitiveNipple> Stueh: apt-get caches in /var/cache/apt/archives
[12:14] <Favorit> Aperculum: uh? /etc/cache/apt? live and learn...
[12:14] <cdnexus> (Grub)
[12:14] <Stueh> Favorit: / alkamid: Do you know, per change, how long they're kept there?
[12:14] <ibuclaw> Sal__, did you get everything sorted in the end?
[12:14] <freegoo> hey guys i have an hfs+ (mac formated) ipod and i can not seem to mount it as writabe. what is the correct command?
[12:15] <Favorit> Stueh: from what I can see on my system - it looks like indefinitely :)
[12:15] <Favorit> ActionParsnip: /etc/cache/apt? I don't even have that.
[12:15] <Stueh> Yay!
[12:15] <Stueh> I don't have to download them again!
[12:15] <Favorit> Stueh: it's an educated guess, don't take my word on indefinitely
[12:15] <alkamid> ActionParsnip: what should the permissions be like? I mean number
[12:15] <IntuitiveNipple> Stueh: This'll give you some info: apt-cache stats
[12:16] <ePax> How do i install gtk2+ ?
[12:16] <cdnexus> I am with an ISP that has its own Ubuntu repos. I don't get it counted to my quota with my settings. Its great.
[12:16] <Stueh> I'm on Satellite, due to my only other option being 28.8kb dialup. When you pay $100 a month for 1Mb/s and 5GB a month, you wanna save as much as you can. Cheers guys! :)
[12:16] <cdnexus> Yeah, fair call.
[12:16] <freegoo> i tryed "sudo mount -o rw /dev/sdb3 /media/ipod" ALTHOUGH it mounted it is still read only. how can i change this?
[12:16] <IntuitiveNipple> Favorit: Stueh: It is indefinitely unless the user chooses to clear out the cache. We have had a long-standing bug that affects in particular ubuntu+1 testers where /var/ runs out of disk space as a result :)
[12:17] <Jcuk> Hi, What's the chances of being able to utilize compiz on sun xvm?
[12:17]  * LutiusVeratius|A is away: Gone away for now
[12:17] <alkamid> ActionParsnip: I think permissions are not the case as it's the same when I sudo ssh
[12:17] <osp> anybody working with Alpha 4?
[12:17] <IntuitiveNipple> Stueh: Might be worth sending for the DVD to have a local repository :)
[12:17] <osp> I have trouble with my gdmgreeter ;) not able to login
[12:17] <IntuitiveNipple> osp: #ubuntu+1
[12:17] <Favorit> IntuitiveNipple: hehe, i keep forgetting about that cache all the time, actually :) Sometimes takes me a while to figure where the hell did the space on /var disappear while there're really no applications that spit in there, not even logging :)
[12:18] <alkamid> ActionParsnip: this is what nslookup gives me: "server can't find domek: NXDOMAIN"
[12:18] <cdnexus> I'd say thats a good idea. Satellite pays through the nose. What are you, rural Australia?
[12:18] <osp> IntuitiveNipple: thanks :)
[12:18] <mak_> Ubuntu-9.04 has problem with openvpn
[12:18] <Stueh> IntuitiveNipple: When disk space is low, does Ubuntu start removing caches but?
[12:18] <Favorit> alkamid: that means it actually goes to dns instead of hosts
[12:18] <IntuitiveNipple> Favorit: Yeah... I have the apt cache in a separate LVM volume just to protect against /var/ running out of space
[12:18] <Favorit> alkamid: what does "grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf" say?
[12:18] <Stueh> I mean, if you've used the system for say, 12 months, especislly for developing stuff, I'd of thought it's get pretty cramped
[12:18] <Favorit> IntuitiveNipple: that's a good one actually! Should do that as well
[12:18] <freegoo> guy how can i mount a hfs formated drive with read and write access
[12:19] <IntuitiveNipple> Stueh: No, it causes some unexpected issues that aren't immediately obviously to do with apt's cache.
[12:19] <Stueh> IntuitiveNipple: Also, I can get a DVD of the repository? :O
[12:19] <alkamid> Favorit: hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
[12:19] <IntuitiveNipple> Stueh: hang on, there'll be a link somewhere
[12:19] <gnu_d> Hi, I can't make Canon i255 Printer to work, I installed these pkg's as it's says in http://all-about-ubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/12/canon-i255-printer-driver.html, but I can't still print, what to do ?
[12:19] <Stueh> IntuitiveNipple: Maybe I should upgrade my 30GB HDD then ;)
[12:19] <Favorit> alkamid: interesting, so it _should_ be looking in your /etc/hosts
[12:19] <IntuitiveNipple> Stueh: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/purchase
[12:19] <cdnexus> Yeah... 30g? I think that is smaller than my steam directory.
[12:20] <adam7> 30gb is plenty of room for an Ubuntu install
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> alkamid: i wouldnt run ssh as sudo
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> alkamid: but its a good test
[12:21] <Stueh> IntuitiveNipple: Huh, that'd save me a lot of money! =P
[12:21] <Stueh> Also, if I go over my monthly downlad, it's 10c per MB >.>
[12:21] <gnu_d> Hey, please, I have to make the printer online
[12:22] <cdnexus> I just get throttled to 64k. So me over quota is you normally I bet.
[12:22] <cdnexus> Gnu_d What have you tried?
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> alkamid: are you putting the entry in /etc/host .conf or /etc/hosts
[12:22] <gnu_d> cdnexus: almost everything
[12:22] <alkamid> /etc/hosts
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> alkamid: just checking
[12:23] <gnu_d> cdnexus: I added a new i255 in Printers gui in Gnome.
[12:23] <Stueh> cdnexus: Nah, I get the full 1Mb/s, only problem is a 700 to 1500ms lag -.-
[12:23] <delly> i m  opning saypatic paccage manager . and  i get a massge that dpkg was interped how can i resoleve this problem plz help me
[12:23] <Stueh> Seeing it's satellite
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> alkamid: and is the entry entered: <ipaddress> <hostname>
[12:23] <Stueh> Because the Australian government are d***s
[12:24] <IntuitiveNipple> Stueh: move to the international space station :p
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> delly: close synaptic
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> !fixapt | delly
[12:24] <Stueh> IntuitiveNipple: Ooooh! I'd probably get betters speeds though!
[12:24] <cdnexus> *nods* Canon are pretty rubbish for linux support sadly
[12:24] <cdnexus> http://gkn.interbrainz.com/i250ubuntu/
[12:24] <cdnexus> Have a read of that
[12:24] <delly> ok after than
[12:25] <alkamid> ActionParsnip: not IP but a web address (xx.endoftheinterned.org)
[12:25] <alkamid> it's a service for those who have dynamic ip and want to have a static address
[12:25] <alkamid> internet*
[12:25] <delly> cammand not found
[12:25] <gnu_d> cdnexus: hey what to try else ?
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> alkamid: it must be the ip
[12:26] <alkamid> ActionParsnip: no, it doesn't have to be the ip! It worked on my old machine with what I had
[12:26] <mrp> 4/t
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> alkamid: you can alias it in ~/.bashrc
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> alkamid: export home="xx.endoftheinterned.org"
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> alkamid: then close the terminal, you can then ssh $home
[12:29] <alkamid> ActionParsnip: okay, I know it
[12:29] <ibuclaw> delly, sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a
[12:29] <alkamid> ActionParsnip: I just wanted to know whats wrong with my current hosts (:
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> alkamid: ive never seen a hosts been used to translate a name to another name
[12:30] <delly> i have run this cammaand
[12:30] <alkamid> ActionParsnip: oh? I've seen people recommending this on forums
[12:30] <delly> after than
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> delly: sudo apt-get update
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> delly: then do what you were gonna do
[12:31] <delly> this is updating
[12:32] <delly>  dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[12:32] <Favorit> then do what it says :) just prepend it with sudo
[12:32] <delly> so how will i do this
[12:32] <Favorit> sudo dpkg --configure -a
[12:32] <Favorit> like this
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> delly: it told you how to fix it
[12:33]  * ActionParsnip thinks it should offfer to autofix
[12:33] <delly> ok  what should i do.
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> what Favorit said
[12:34] <ibuclaw> I would say run:   `sudo dpkg --configure -a`   again, and copy and paste the output into a pastebin
[12:34] <Nero-Wolf> Hm.  Anyone else here use Pidgin?
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> Nero-Wolf: me
[12:34] <slacker_nl> can someone explain this error: http://pb.opperschaap.net/116
[12:34] <Nero-Wolf> ActionParsnip: Okay.  Is it just me, or have the last few builds seemed REALLY unstable?
[12:34] <Nero-Wolf> ActionParsnip: Even on Windows.
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> Nero-Wolf: windows, yeah sometimmes it hangs while pressing tab and it dies
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> Nero-Wolf: in linux its been fine
[12:35] <Nero-Wolf> ActionParsnip: Wierd.  Cause Pidgin just died on this linux environment just now.
[12:35] <Nero-Wolf> Not sure why.
[12:35] <ibuclaw> slacker_nl,   echo ${APACHE_RUN_USER}
[12:35] <alkamid> ActionParsnip: thanks for your help. I'll make an alias in bashrc
[12:35] <ibuclaw> check that it is valid, or exists, perhaps ?
[12:35] <Nero-Wolf> Just looked up and the icon was gone.  Thought to myself "... ... ... did I wake up in front of the wrong computer this morning?"
[12:36] <delly> plz help me
[12:36] <Favorit> alkamid: if you don't run it as nobody (or whatever user your apache is configured to run under) you need to set APACHE_RUN_USER env var
[12:36] <Favorit> alkamid: ups, rong target
[12:36] <Favorit> slacker_nl: if you don't run it as nobody (or whatever user your apache is configured to run under) you need to set APACHE_RUN_USER env var
[12:36] <Hansum> Can I troll in here?

[12:37] <ActionParsnip> slacker_nl: I'd ask in #apache
[12:38] <slacker_nl> ibuclaw: doesn't matter, if i set the env var it still errors..
[12:38] <Favorit> slacker_nl: to what user do you set the var?
[12:39] <delly> how to set the dpkg
[12:39] <qdb> hello. there were problem with 8.10 with nvidia mx 440. that should not be with 8.04, right? what will be if all updates of 8.04 are installed?
[12:39] <Favorit> slacker_nl: http://pastebin.com/m6e94a70d
[12:39] <Favorit> slacker_nl: you have to set both APACHE_RUN_USER & APACHE_RUN_GROUP
[12:39] <Favorit> slacker_nl: by default it will be nobody for the user and nogroup for the group
[12:40] <Jampiter> !botsnack
[12:40] <slacker_nl> Favorit: but those vars won't be used by sudo...
[12:40] <Favorit> slacker_nl: you don't need sodu to dump vhost config
[12:41] <slacker_nl> mkay'
[12:41] <qdb> do you know how to make that mx 440 working with 8.10? i know only one untried way now : to run .run file from nvidia site.
[12:41] <qdb> i tried to turn on "proposed updates" but it has not worked!
[12:41] <slacker_nl> mkay
[12:41] <slacker_nl> works
[12:41] <slacker_nl> weird

[12:46] <Fiftyone> Hello all i was wondering how do i create a new uid from commandlineK i want to create a uid begining with a number but its forbidden to do threw the gui for some reason.
[12:46] <Stueh> May be a silly question, but I'm not sure. Does Ubuntu already have C++ installed to compile source?
[12:46] <funkyHat> ActionParsnip: this isn't a keyboard issue(although I guess it's related)... somehow alt+button3 on my mouse is mapped to type 'Screenshot'
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> drcode: what is ramstar?
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> !info ramstar
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> funkyHat: you have set the shortcut somewhere in that configuration, be it keyboard or mouse
[12:47] <funkyHat> ah no it was simpler than that... haha. looks like alt got stuck off... so I was just copying primary selection *oops*
[12:47] <drcode> I have ubuntun installed , I want to make livecd
[12:47] <drcode> or usb boot?
[12:47] <Gotu> how to set the dpkg
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> funkyHat: sticky keyboard eh...have you had hansum over?
[12:49] <big_ghost> hey guys
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> !usb | drcode
[12:49] <funkyHat> ActionParsnip: not physically stuck, sometimes my modifier keys get somehow stuck the wrong way and I have to press them all a couple of times before I can type. Not sure why it is maybe I try to type too fast and get the order I hit them wrong
[12:49] <big_ghost> i need help
[12:49] <Gotu> how to set the dpkg
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> funkyHat: you missed the joke ;)
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> !ask | big_ghost
[12:50] <slacker_nl> Gotu: what?
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> Gotu: can yuo please clarify
[12:50] <funkyHat> ActionParsnip: I didn't, I guess my sense of humor is cranky this early in the afternoon though :P

[12:51] <Gotu> i want to remove phpmyadmin from my system  i get a error  ........dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[12:51] <bazhang> Gotu, run that command with sudo
[12:52] <ibuclaw> Gotu, then run:  sudo dpkg --configure -a
[12:52] <Gotu> yes i m runing
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> nETspideR: you need to have the wan ip address you use resolve to a name, then your email domain name will be that, e.g. user@domain.whatever
[12:53] <Gotu> thanks friend
[12:53] <Gotu> most most thanks
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> nETspideR: when some replys to your mail, the name will resolve and the message will fly to your router, you then have to configure virtual server / port forwarding to send the data to your new email server
[12:56] <big_ghost> i want to install ubuntu 8.10 on a ibook g3 500 Mhz dual usb how can i do this

[12:58] <Gotu> hi friend how to install lammp
[12:58] <Cyntek> why would he need to do a usb install for a i book g3 ?
[12:58] <Gotu> hi friend how to install lammp-server
[12:58] <ibuclaw> Gotu, type in aptitude
[12:58] <ibuclaw> in the console
[12:59] <Cyntek> why not just burn to disc and install that way?
[12:59] <qdb> do you know how to make that nvidia mx 440 working with 8.10? i know only one untried way now : to run .run file from nvidia site. i tried to turn on "proposed updates" but it has not worked!
[12:59] <Gotu> what's ur mean
[12:59] <hareldvd> since kaudiocreator can not be installed due to it's dependencies (kdemultimedia-kio-plugin 3.5) I am looking for a recommendation on another ripping software.
[12:59] <ibuclaw> Gotu, open up a terminal and type in   aptitude
[12:59] <Gotu> ok
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> hareldvd: what does it do?
[12:59] <qdb> also turned on backports
[13:00] <Gotu> after than
[13:00] <ibuclaw> Gotu, scroll down to "Tasks" and press Enter
[13:00] <ibuclaw> then "Unrecognised Task"
[13:00] <big_ghost> can i install ubuntu 8.10 form usb on ibook g3 ?
[13:00] <Gotu> ok i want to install lampp
[13:00] <qdb> i leave the channel but i am going to be in freenode.
[13:01] <ibuclaw> Gotu, then scroll down until you see "--- lamp-server"
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> big_ghost: yes, i gave you the link
[13:01] <ibuclaw> Gotu, then press +
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> hareldvd: konqueror can rip cds
[13:01] <ibuclaw> Gotu, then press g to confirm and install the packages
[13:01] <Cyntek> ActionParsnip, why not install from disc ?
[13:02] <hareldvd> ActionParsnip: Do you recommend it?
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> hareldvd: if you cant install via cd, yes
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> Cyntek: access times in usb are quicker than cd ;)
[13:02] <DizzyDoo> Hi, does Ubuntu server work equally well when installed on an NTFS formatted SATA as when installed on a FAT32 formatted SATA?
[13:02] <Gotu> no friend this not able lammp
[13:03] <Gotu> here
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> Cyntek: but theres the time to create the usb as opposed to the cd
[13:03] <freegoo> can anyone help, i can only mount my hfsplus formated hard drive as "READ ONLY" (ipod usb)
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> freegoo: http://www.hafenscher.net/wiki/index.php?page=Mount_USB_stick_read_and_writable_for_users
[13:04] <Cyntek> I understand, but he's looking to just install ubuntu without any problems, he's a first time user?
[13:04]  * Favorit [detached]
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> Cyntek: i tought it was his only option so I gave him the link
[13:05] <freegoo> ActionParsnip: thanks
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> hareldvd: if you can install via cd i'd use that, its less complex to burn a cd and boot from it than put all the various gumf on a usb stick to boot from it
[13:05] <Gotu> what i sould chose  new packge?
[13:05] <hareldvd> ActionParsnip: any gnome ripping package you would recommend?
[13:05] <Cyntek> He's trying to install the ubuntu 8.10 but it was not detecting the video card?
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> hareldvd: for ripping what?
[13:06] <hareldvd> ActionParsnip: CDs
[13:06] <Cyntek> ATi rage m3 agp x2
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> hareldvd: grip is one option
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> Cyntek: nice, ati sucks
[13:06] <hareldvd> ActionParsnip: I used it. Anything better tnan that?
[13:07] <Cyntek> Yes we know.
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> hareldvd: there is no better or "best" just wat you like
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> hareldvd: try a tonne of apps then choose one you like
[13:07] <hareldvd> ActionParsnip: OK, thanks.
[13:07] <Cyntek> How do we get around that small issue?
[13:08] <Fiftyone> Hello all i was wondering how do i create a new uid from commandlineK i want to create a uid begining with a number but its forbidden to do threw the gui for some reason.
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> Cyntek: i think he has to use vesa :(
[13:08] <funkyHat> Fiftyone: no it's just forbidden
[13:08] <BoulderDave> i have a profileList view, which operates off of a queryset, which is profile.objects.all().  However, in my profile model, i have a m2m field called 'networks'.  In my template, when i iterate through each profile in the querty set, i try to also iterate through each network in that profile.. but its not iterable.  how can i do this?
[13:08] <hareldvd> Anyone uses xchat-gnome? can it be configured to play sound when anyone calls my name?
[13:09] <sky_> can i install ubuntu via USB ?
[13:09] <sky_> resp. reinstall ?
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> !usb | sky_
[13:09] <Cyntek> So how would he be able to enable vesa on ubuntu
[13:09] <BoulderDave> shit sorry, thought i was in another chatroom
[13:09] <BoulderDave> sorry guys
[13:10] <snadge> how do i install the latest nvidia drivers on intrepid.. preferably in such a way that i dont have to redo it every time the kernel is updated?
[13:10] <sky_> or with wubi can be ubuntu installed under Windows to existing ext3 partition ?
[13:10] <Fiftyone> funkyhat so it cant be done?
[13:11] <snadge> are there ubuntu packages for newer nvidia drivers that are compatible with intrepid?
[13:11] <Dr_willis> snadge,  if you use the versions in the repos. tjhey should update/work when kernel changes happen
[13:11] <Jampiter> Hi
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> snadge: run lspci | grep -i vga
[13:11] <Dr_willis> snadge,  those wont however be the 'latestest versions'
[13:11] <Jampiter> How can I find out the speed and model of my processor in Ubuntu?
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> snadge: and paste the output here
[13:11] <snadge> Dr_willis: problem is.. theres a bugfix in latest versions that i want
[13:11] <sky_>  or with wubi can be ubuntu installed under Windows to existing ext3 partition ?
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> sky_: its hugely messy
[13:12] <Dr_willis> snadge,  then you will have to watchout for kernel upgrades
[13:12] <snadge> ActionParsnip: G70 [GeForce 7600 GT]
[13:12] <Dr_willis> sky_,  wubi installs to a file on the windows drive.. not a ext3 partition
[13:12] <g4lv4tr0n> hi how can i specify the passwor when using gksu ???
[13:12] <Cyntek> ActionParsnip, So how would he be able to enable vesa support on Ubuntu during the installation process?
[13:13] <funkyHat> Fiftyone: it must start with a lower case letter
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> snadge: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177
[13:13] <sky_> he my friend want find way how to reinstall ubuntu because his CD ROM doesnt work
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> Cyntek: its default to use vesa, you can add boot options to change res
[13:13] <funkyHat> Fiftyone: after that you can have lower and upper case letters, digits and _ or -
[13:13] <snadge> ActionParsnip: im actually after either 180 or 173.14.16 beta
[13:13] <chazco> Hi... does anyone know if there are alternative drivers to iwl3945 to work round the WPA-Enterprise bug and the kill-switch bug (which is marked as wont-fix on launchpad)?
[13:13] <snadge> ahh 177 is newer than 173 beta ?
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> snadge: it appears to be supported by 180 in jaunty, not sure in intrepid
[13:14] <g4lv4tr0n> how can i specify a password when using gksu ???
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> snadge: not sure i dont look that deep. I just look at what is said to work
[13:14] <snadge> how do i tell which glx i have installed currently?
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> g4lv4tr0n: a lil graphical window will popup for you to tpe your password in
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> snadge: dpkg -l | grep nvidia
[13:15] <snadge> ok im already running 177.. there appears to be a 180 in intrepid.. not sure if it will work *shrugs*
[13:16] <frambler> hi people :)
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> snadge: could try it, yu can always revert back
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> snadge: you will need to run: sudo nvidia-xconfig
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> snadge: after installing
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> snadge: then gksudo nvidia-settings to set resolution
[13:17] <frambler> this is not a particular linux question, but... someone here recommend using a netbook (acer one, especifically) to web development and c++ dev ?
[13:18] <Flynsarmy> Are there any text editors for ubuntu like notepad++ that support calltips for PHP?
[13:19] <ibuclaw> frambler, you could certain give it a try. I don't use my AA1 for web development in particular, but I've written applications on it just fine.
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> Flynsarmy: i think gedit can
[13:19] <Sarkie> kate? gedit?
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> Flynsarmy: i think it reads the type of text and starts highlighting once saved
[13:20] <big_ghost> im trying to find out if i get the alternative ppc version on ubuntu 8.10 is their an installation tutorial
[13:20] <frambler> ibuclaw: desktop applications? I'm asking because I haven't bought one yet. I'll just buy if it fits my needs.
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> big_ghost: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation
[13:21] <unr3a1> hey all
[13:21] <unr3a1> whats the command to set your wireless card into monitoring mode?
[13:21] <ibuclaw> ActionParsnip, I actually discovered gedit can do /anything/ yesterday. Found a plugin called "External Tools". It allows you to run any shell commands on the text file... that's almost as good as vim :)
[13:21] <Flynsarmy> ActionParsnip, how do you get calltips in gedit?
[13:21] <Nefasto> hello all!
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> ibuclaw: i just use yakuake, dos the lot
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> Flynsarmy: i dont even know what calltips are
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> Flynsarmy: maybe someone else can advise
[13:22] <Dr_willis> I like the 'geany' text editor. :)
[13:22] <Nefasto> I´m trying to run xdebug on LAMP (ubuntu), but connecting from a Windows box... The xdebug plugin is working fine, but netbeans won´t see it... any clues as to why??
[13:22] <Sarkie> vim?
[13:22] <Flynsarmy> ActionParsnip, intellitext. function argument tooltips as you type ( to open a function bracket
[13:23] <ibuclaw> frambler, yes, I've written desktop applications on it. It is no different to any other version of Linux. You just need to install it via the "hidden" package manager: pirut
[13:23] <ibuclaw> frambler, the applications required for compiling/building, that is
[13:23] <Nefasto> Anyone?
[13:23] <ActionParsnip> Flynsarmy: oh yea like in visual environments for coding
[13:23] <malodix> A few days ago, I was downloading a game on to my second hard drive. Half-way through, I got a balloon popup in the corner, telling me the drive had become read-only, I imagine because of having 'limited space', although there was 22gb left. Doing fdisk -l tells me that /dev/sda and /dev/sdb cannot be opened, even though both are not SCSI drives. Any suggestions?
[13:24] <Flynsarmy> ActionParsnip, yep
[13:24] <swamptin> Does anyone know of something like Adobe Flash CS3 that's available for Linux/Ebuntu?
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> Flynsarmy: i dont know of any editor but i know what you mean
[13:24] <unr3a1> does nobody know?
[13:24] <Dr_willis> malodix,  ide drives are seen as 'scsi' drives normally these days..  check the mount command.. many times if a drive has 'errors' it gets forced to remount read only
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> swamptin: its a proprietary POS from adobe so only adobe make the dev kits like that
[13:25] <ibuclaw> frambler, and even if the Linpus desktop look isn't your thing. You can install Ubuntu on it just fine. I use this: http://www.geteasypeasy.com/
[13:25] <kavity> I thought that said geteasypussy :<
[13:25] <malodix> Dr_willis: mount shows no mount points on my second drive, but also, the second drive can not be recognised by gparted.
[13:25] <swamptin> ActionParsnip: I was more thinking along the same lines, like gimp doing flash or something, get me? Not CS3 for linux :)
[13:26] <Dr_willis> Im using eeebuntu on my Aceraspire one.  -  the relation ship between eeebuntu and easypeasy is  confusing. :) i wonder if the 2 projects are merging..
[13:26] <Dr_willis> malodix,  thats not a good sign if gparted cant see it..  'sudo fdisk -l ' should show it also
[13:26] <ibuclaw> kavity, haha. All you need is to get out more, get acquainted with old friends and raise your self esteem :)
[13:26] <Marfi> Dr_willis, I would hope not. EasyPeasy didn't run well on my Eee
[13:26] <Dr_willis> Marfi,  theres so many netbook-variants.. i cant get them all straight. :)
[13:27] <Marfi> Dr_willis, hehe, I know. I would install Ubuntu onto the Eee, and use the array.org repositories for the custom kernel
[13:27] <ibuclaw> Marfi, shame. It works just fine on my Acer (not that I want to brag about that :)
[13:27] <Dr_willis> Marfi,  im using  the Aceraspireone Puppuy Linux Variant at the moment on mine
[13:27] <nettezzaumana> hi all .. exist a way, howto list packages sorted by install time .. like `rpm -qa --last` in rpm based systems?
[13:27] <Marfi> ibuclaw, When I installed it, the "install" Ubuntu icon was still there
[13:27] <Dr_willis> Im very happy with my AcerAspireOne.. i just wish it had  svideo out..
[13:28] <Pici> nettezzaumana: Seeing as Ubuntu is not an rpm based system, try asking in the channel for the distro that you are using,
[13:28] <Marfi> Dr_willis, Puppy is one of the best for netbooks I have heard
[13:28] <malodix> Dr_willis: fdisk -l also shows only the first drive. I'd hate to lose my second drive. Before all this happened though, my partitions on my first drive were hda1, hda2, etc. They're now sda1, sda2.
[13:28] <blufade> does anybody know how to use "vi editor"
[13:28] <ibuclaw> :q!
[13:28] <Dr_willis> malodix,  depending on the disrto and kernel an dother stuff..  ide drives now show up as scsi.           somthing to watch out for.
[13:28] <nettezzaumana> Pici: omg. reread my question please .. it relates to ubuntu .. surely
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis:  Marfi: puppy is awesome
[13:29] <Pici> nettezzaumana: Ah. I misunderstood, sorry.
[13:29] <ibuclaw> blufade, open a terminal and type in: vimtutor
[13:29] <nettezzaumana> Pici: np. urw
[13:29] <Dr_willis> blufade,  vi is very very very well doucmented at dozens of sites..  there is the 'vimtutor' program thats a must  work thriough also. :)
[13:29] <Marfi> blufade, I prefer nano, but thats just me
[13:29] <cliebow> anyone using openldap in intrepid?
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> Marfi: yeah i'm a nano guy too
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> !ldap | cliebow
[13:29] <malodix> Dr_willis: I'm still using a 1.24 kernel, I think. I haven't updated the kernel in some time. But it appears that since my second drive became read only, they've magically become scsi drives. :/
[13:29] <nettezzaumana> would someone tell me, if dpkg/apt* can print list of packages (like dpkg -l) but sorted by install time?
[13:30] <nettezzaumana> i am sorry. i have no ubuntu or debian system here
[13:30] <nettezzaumana> that's why i am asking
[13:30] <Dr_willis> malodix,  i doubt if thats correct..    - the ide drives have been showing uip for me as scsi drives for the last 2 releases I think.
[13:31] <Dr_willis> malodix,  i have ntoiced that on some of my old box's they still show as hd##  - must be some driver/kernel    thing on those old machines.
[13:31] <Pici> nettezzaumana: After a quick look, I don't see an option for that on the dpkg manpage, but you could always look through /var/log/dpkg.log
[13:31] <Dr_willis> malodix,  as a test.. get a live cd/ and see if you can access the drives from there.. You may want to 'fsck' the filesystems while you are at it.
[13:31] <blufade> guys, i have a problem, pro engineer uses vi editor by default.....in windiws it uses notpad for the same function.....so is there anyway i can change this to gedit or some other text editor instead of vi
[13:31] <jrib> blufade: what is "pro engineer"?
[13:31] <Dr_willis> I use vi in windows. :)
[13:32] <nettezzaumana> Pici: ah .. ok .. good pointment .. thanks
[13:32] <blufade> ﻿jrib, CAD/CAM s/w
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> nettezzaumana: not that i can see
[13:32] <Pici> nettezzaumana: You can look through those commands manpages yourself at http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ if you want too.
[13:32] <Dr_willis> vi   Vs. Notepad.exe    thats  like going from  a    Jeep to a pogostick. :)
[13:32] <malodix> Dr_willis: Yeah, I'll give that a go. I'm stuck as to where to go next. Thanks for you help. :)
[13:32] <Marfi> malodix, Dr_willis you can also ls /dev/sd* or ls /dev/hd* to see if its even being seen in there. You may have forgotten to plug in the power. That's comming from someone who has done that. ;)
[13:32] <nettezzaumana> Pici: yes i can .. or betterly :: i should
[13:32] <big_ghost> if i install ubuntu and i want to eventually go back to osx can i ?
[13:33] <Dr_willis> big_ghost,  err.. its your machine.. you can format it all you want.. of course.
[13:33] <ilias> hi everybody
[13:33] <Dr_willis> big_ghost,  its not like Linux some how  glues your pc  down.
[13:33] <big_ghost> thank you
[13:33] <malodix> Marfi: The drive is definitely there. Bios detects it and I can even run 'badblocks' on it. It's just that gparted, fdisk and the like can't detect it.
[13:34] <ilias> can someone help me install my audio hardware on ubuntu? i have reatlek
[13:34] <Marfi> malodix, what type of drive is it? IDE, SATA?
[13:34] <Dr_willis> malodix,  thats very very very very weird.. YOU did run 'sudo fdisk -l' and not 'fdisk -l' ?
[13:34] <blufade> is there a way to disable vi editor and force programs to use normal text editor
[13:34] <kavity> vi's not normal?
[13:34] <Dr_willis> blufade,  some would call vi a normal text editor. :)
[13:34] <Pici> blufade: Is 'pro engineer' in the Ubuntu package repositories?
[13:34] <kavity> vi(m) > *
[13:34] <malodix> Dr_willis: Yup. sudo fdisk -l shows all partitions on my first drive perfectly, but there's no sign of the second drive.
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> !find engineer
[13:35] <Dr_willis> I do notice theres a 'altertive' in /etc/alternatives ----->   editor -> /usr/bin/vim.gnome   - If you change that. then programs that call 'editor' will launch whatever you set it to
[13:35] <malodix> Marfi: It's an IDE, with 1 NTFS partition. Although, since this has happened, my drives appear to be sda and sdb now. Right up until the last minute this happened, they were hda and hdb
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> blufade: apt-cache search engineer
[13:35] <erUSUL> blufade: export nano as your EDITOR or VISUAL env variable or just « sudo update-alternatives --config editor »
[13:35] <tux_> i can't seem to get vlc to play a .asx stream, video works but sound does not, says i need a wmas codec
[13:36] <erUSUL> !w32codecs | tux_
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> !codec | tux_
[13:36] <tux_> erUSUL, did that
[13:36] <erUSUL> tux_: :|
[13:37] <Dr_willis> blufade,  you may want to read --->   http://www.viemu.com/a-why-vi-vim.html      first to learn the 'underlaying  mentality' behind Vi
[13:37] <Marfi> malodix, then it seems that it is either hda or hdb. do ls /dev/hda* or ls /dev/hdb*, and see which partitions are there. Mount them, and see what happens. That's what I do if it isn't working. =)
[13:37] <Marfi> malodix, you may also have to use -o force if its NTFS
[13:39] <WindBack> I have recently installed ubuntu. When I look in the xorg.conf file to see the default configuration i see that the file is empty. I run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but the "wizard" dont askme nothing related to the video configuration.  I want to know from what place xorg is taking the video configuration??
[13:39] <rdw200169> blufade,  $ sudo update-alternatives --config editor
[13:39] <Dr_willis> WindBack,  X auto-configures for the most part  now a days.
[13:39] <Dr_willis> WindBack,  it can still use the xorg.conf to some degree
[13:39] <Marfi> WindBack, where are you looking for the file?
[13:39] <malodix> Marfi: /dev/hda and /dev/hdb no longer exists. It's now /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. :) It's pretty odd. /dev/sdb* lists no partitions. Does there need to be at least one partition before gParted will recognise the drive? I would have though that would have been a bit odd.
[13:40] <Marfi> malodix, no, it should see it. Try a reboot, and see if that gets it
[13:40] <aboSamoor> can anyone help me in configuring a network printer of type KONICA MINOLTA 7222 df-320 ?
[13:40] <cdavis> is there a way to get a list of the software installed from one laptop and just apply that software set to easily migrate to another laptop?
[13:40] <malodix> Marfi: Been there, done that. :)
[13:41] <n8tuserf> !clone | cdavis
[13:41] <rdw200169> malodix, you could also try the gparted livecd
[13:41] <Marfi> aboSamoor, you need the IP of the printer
[13:41] <Marfi> malodix, rdw200169 was getting ready to say that. =)
[13:41] <cdavis> n8tuserf, perfect, thanks
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> aboSamoor: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/2718
[13:41] <malodix> :P
[13:42] <cdavis> !automate | cdavis
[13:42] <malodix> rdw200169: I might give that a whirl. If it manages to read the disk but not the partitions, is there a way to recover the previous partition table?
[13:42] <WindBack> Dr_willis, I'm looking for it on /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[13:42] <Marfi> !automate
[13:42] <rdw200169> malodix, testdisk in the ubuntu repos can do that
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> aboSamoor: looks like konika may have a driver on their site
[13:43] <WindBack> Dr_willis, i liked the previos version which showed you the defalult configuration on xorg.confg
[13:43] <rdw200169> malodix, its a little difficult to use, but not impossible.  there are guides on their website.
[13:43] <WindBack> Dr_willis, then you were able to change it
[13:43] <Dr_willis> WindBack,   too bad i guess. :)
[13:43] <malodix> rdw200169: I tried testdisk and like gparted and fdisk, only seen my first drive.
[13:43] <Dr_willis> WindBack,  You can  use your old xorg.conf and it should work and let you change things..
[13:43] <aboSamoor> Marfi: I know the IP address I can not find the model in the database!   ActionParsnip: I have those drivers in the database. I can not my find the model
[13:44] <rdw200169> malodix, is this a usb hard drive?
[13:45] <WindBack> Dr_willis, yes , but in tthe pass, when you run dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg, you were able to see the automatic configuration generated in your xorg.conf
[13:45] <Dr_willis> WindBack,  that ciommand is obsoleted  in the latest Ubuntu releases.
[13:46] <malodix> rdw200169: Nope, IDE. I've just tried testdisk again and it's now showing the second drive, but returns 'Read error at 0/2/1 (lba=126)' when attempting to analyse the cylinders. Doesn't look good. :(
[13:46] <Dr_willis> WindBack,  and from what i hear about the next X release.. many  more changes are heading this way. and will annoy lots of people :)
[13:47] <Marfi> aboSamoor, Try to pick one that is of the same series
[13:48] <rdw200169> malodix, well, *as long as you're not encountering a power issue* something like SpinRite
[13:48] <aboSamoor> Marfi: I don't find any of the series. do you suggest specific one
[13:48] <aboSamoor> ?
[13:48] <rdw200169> malodix, may be able to test your HDD, but that's not a guarantee
[13:48] <Marfi> aboSamoor, what series is it?
[13:49] <WindBack> Dr_willis, tanks
[13:49] <malodix> rdw200169: Ok, I'll give that a go and if all else fails, attempt to recover the data I need, then start from fresh. Thanks for the help.

[13:57] <filipov> ive got a question about how to replace the Mic input with Line-out. My problem is that my original Line-out is broken.. In windows, theres a small application called "Realtek HD audio manager", and it does the magic.. But I'd like to do the same in Linux.
[13:58] <Marfi> aboSamoor, I'm going through the add printer scren, and there is an option to add a .ppd , which is "post script printer description flies can often be found on the driver disk that comes with the printer. For postScript printers they are often part of the windows driver"
[13:58] <ikonia> mo0se: maybe -D $database
[13:58] <Marfi> linuxrevolution, can't see the monitor? Plug it in. Make sure the power cable is plugged in
[13:58] <num1fng> does any know why in open office it is adding dots every time I hit the space bar or a weird symbol when i hit the return key
[13:58] <linuxrevolution> marfi: I can use it but it's 17 and ubuntu says it's 16!
[13:59] <aboSamoor> Marfi: what does this mean ?!
[13:59] <[Matt]> anyone know anything about installing WoW under linux? specifically when im trying to install under wine and get to the EULA tha ceept button is greyed out even after i scroll to the bottom?
[13:59] <desady> can anyone help me share folders on networks in ubuntu
[13:59] <[Matt]> accept*
[13:59] <Travis-42> is there a difference between running "sudo -u user" and "sudo su user".  I'm trying to understand a init.d script which uses the latter.
[13:59] <mo0se> ikonia: can you do "mkdir /home/Backups/`date +%x`/" ???
[13:59] <mo0se> it doesnt seem to work
[13:59] <ikonia> mo0se: mkdir -p
[13:59] <Marfi> aboSamoor, from what I have seen, a .ppd is a sort of driver file for the printer. It's like ndiswrapper + wireless cards, but for the printer.
[13:59] <ikonia> mo0se: mkdir -p /home/Backups/`date +%x`
[13:59] <Marfi> aboSamoor, It lets you use the windows driver for the printer
[14:00] <Kryzler> hey
[14:00] <[Matt]> anyone?
[14:00] <fader> num1fng: Go to Tools - Options - OpenOffice.org Writer - Formatting Aids and uncheck "Paragraph end" and "Spaces"
[14:00] <Kryzler> my ubuntu grub loader doesn't work properly
[14:00] <oskar-> num1fng, that are typography related hints to know, where the space between types comes from
[14:00] <linuxrevolution> :-(
[14:00] <Kryzler> How do I fix this?
[14:01] <Kryzler> I need help
[14:01] <ikonia> Kryzler: explain the problem
[14:01] <fader> num1fng: (And possibly "breaks" if it's checked as well)
[14:01] <Marfi> aboSamoor, check the driver disk, and see if there is a .ppd file there. That should do it for ya. =)
[14:01] <mo0se> ikonia: shit, now it creates home/Backups/02/19/2009... any way to even make that 02192009/ ??
[14:01] <Kryzler> basically, I installed openSUSE just to try it out, and when I select Ubuntu, it loads the Ubuntu grub, and then when I try to load anything from there, it all goes ka-put
[14:01] <oskar-> Kryzler, how can we know? or am i missing the line with the details? ;)
[14:01] <ikonia> mo0se: please control your language
[14:01] <ikonia> Kryzler: define ka-put - please be exact
[14:02] <mo0se> my bad didn't realize it was  rule here.
[14:02] <linuxrevolution> marfi: I click detect monitor but nothing happens
[14:02] <ikonia> mo0se: mand date
[14:02] <freegoo> guys i really need help, i tryed mounting with sudo. but when i try and create a file i get the read only error
[14:02] <Marfi> linuxrevolution, is it plugged in? Is there power going to the monitor?
[14:02] <ikonia> mo0se: sorry "man date" look at +d+m+y
[14:02] <freegoo> i check mount. and it says RW
[14:02] <Kryzler> ka-put: colloquial English term derived from the Dutch "kapot" which means "broken"
[14:02] <num1fng> Fader : Thx I have been fighting with that for a while.
[14:02] <linuxrevolution> Marfi: yes!
[14:02] <ikonia> Kryzler: how do you know its broken, I mean explain the error
[14:02] <freegoo> "/dev/sdb3 on /media/dfddrive type hfsplus (rw)"
[14:02] <fader> num1fng: no problem :)
[14:02] <oskar-> Kryzler, details, please!
[14:02] <Kryzler> I get Error 15
[14:03] <ikonia> !grub > Kryzler
[14:03] <Marfi> linuxrevolution, Simple problems first, then more difficult fixes. ;) What type of videocard are you using?
[14:03] <Kryzler> and it says it can't find anything
[14:03] <freegoo> i also tryed chmod. but again said read only file system. any idea guys?
[14:03] <Marfi> linuxrevolution, Can you plug it into the main monitor slot, and it work? You may need to reboot if you do it like this
[14:04] <ikonia> !grub > Kryzler
[14:04] <odinsbane> I'm using wpa_supplicant and it works fine, but lately I will become disconnected from the internet and wpa_supplicant just says associated with ... over and over.
[14:04] <freegoo> seriously out of ideas here guys. can anyone help
[14:04] <linuxrevolution> marfi: I have an Asus p5kpl and it has an onboard card
[14:05] <Marfi> linuxrevolution, so are you using 1 monitor or 2?
[14:05] <linuxrevolution> marfi: 1
[14:05] <freegoo> i also tryed chmod. but again said read only file system. seriously out of ideas. can anyone help?????
[14:05] <Marfi> linuxrevolution, you may need to add a modeline to the xorg.conf file for the monitor. Do a google search for "xorg modeline <monitor model>"
[14:06] <Marfi> freegoo, what are you trying to do?
[14:06] <ikonia> freegoo: does hfs have write support in ubuntu ?
[14:06] <linuxrevolution> marfi: thanx a lot mate
[14:06] <Marfi> linuxrevolution, np. =)
[14:06] <ikonia> freegoo: as in - is wrie functionaity a supported feature
[14:07] <Marfi> freegoo, if your using HFS...the only way that Linux has write support to it is if it is NOT journaled
[14:07] <freegoo> ikonia: how do i check if write-support is enabled. is there a libery w should download
[14:07] <ikonia> freegoo: check Marfi comment - Marfi seems clued in on it
[14:08] <ikonia> Marfi: nice find
[14:08] <bazhang> !info hfsplus
[14:09] <Marfi> ikonia, freegoo My fiance's Mac HDD crashed, 60 gigs of her software gone. So I spent 3 days in Linux + HFS. =)
[14:09] <vegombrei> ive finally got a chance to upgrade my pc. i wanna go with ubuntu. but i have a few questions. does it have a 64 bit version? whats the difference? im planning on getting a high end gaming config, does ubuntu support all the latest high end mother boards and graphics card and sound etc? please advise ..
[14:09] <Marfi> ikonia, was able to pull it off, though
[14:09] <ikonia> Marfi: good info to know
[14:09] <frankS2> how can i show the changelog for packages?
[14:09] <[Matt]> vego yes therea a 64bit edition
[14:09] <Dr_willis> !hardware | vegombrei
[14:09] <frankS2> that is availibe via apt-get dist-upgrade
[14:09] <Marfi> vegombrei, yes, it has 64 bit. Runs good, imo. Ubuntu should support it, and if you get a video card, GO NVIDIA!
[14:10] <Dr_willis> vegombrei,  often with linux - its not  idea to get 'the latest and greatest hardware'  the stuff thats been out for some time will most likely have better support.
[14:10] <KDB9000> Need help mounting an NTFS drive, after it has been on a windows machine and then I use it on my Ubuntu system, it doesn't auto mount. I need to mount it manually using the force command. Is there a way around this so it will mount it with the force command or something like that? NTFS-config does not see the hard drive
[14:10] <freegoo> Marfi: thanks alot. so if i use hfs non journaled it should all be fine?
[14:11] <vegombrei> Marfi: i was actually thinking of the new radeon. you sure NVIDIA is the way to go for ubuntu?
[14:11] <Marfi> freegoo, It should be fine...but I would hiiiighly recommend not to. Are you looking for a file system to write back and forth between a mac and Ubuntu?
[14:12] <[Matt]> i think my system might be fubar :<
[14:12] <mercutio22> vegombrei> get nVidia. It has better linux support
[14:12] <Marfi> vegombrei, Nvidia has been giving drivers out for Linux for more than 8 years. ATI just opened up their drivers. ANd yes, Nvidia is the way to go for Linux. You will be cussing linux up one side and down the other if you get ATI
[14:12] <vegombrei> Dr_willis: i agree sir, however when im assembling a new pc i'd rather get the latest because its gonna get obsolete in a year anyway the way computer tech is progressing today
[14:12] <freegoo> Marfi: the drive is my ipod, so its installed on mac hfs+. ideal support would be both wmac and linux
[14:12] <linux_guy> [Matt], you'll have to change your nick, thats my first name
[14:12] <creek23_> hi, how do i increase the alloted size for /tmp
[14:12] <ikonia> creek23_: you need to resize the partition
[14:12] <linux_guy> [Matt], type /nick Wilbur
[14:13] <lolwtfmynickismy> :o
[14:13] <ikonia> linux_guy: he can have whatever nick he wants - please don't request that
[14:13] <linux_guy> can you set up the edubuntu repos in ubuntu
[14:13] <Dr_willis> vegombrei,  when building a new pc  - i get whats the most value for the $$ then save the rest of the $$ for  the NEXT pc.. or slowly upgrade the hardware with the $$ i saved..
[14:13] <linux_guy> ikonia, im just kidding
[14:13] <Marfi> freegoo, find a windows computer, and just make it a winpod. I'm pretty sure it installs it as fat32, which can be read by all 3
[14:13] <linux_guy> <insert joke here>
[14:13] <pos69sum> i have a broadcom bcm430 wireless card in my dell latitude laptop - i got it to work using fwcutter but now it just stopped working
[14:14] <Dr_willis> vegombrei,  its hard to justify a $500 video card.. when it will become $200 in 4 mo. :)
[14:14] <lolwtfmynickismy> what does it mean when i can use up to 3 sticks of ram in any configuration on my motherboard but as soon as i try and use all 4 my system refuses to post???
[14:14] <creek23_> typing df -h displays that only 1MB is alloted ---> overflow              1.0M   64K  960K   7% /tmp
[14:14] <pos69sum> i think it was after i applied system updates yesterday
[14:14] <creek23_> * overflow              1.0M   64K  960K   7% /tmp
[14:14] <freegoo> Marfi: yer i guess, but i hate caving into m$ bullshit just for multi client support
[14:14] <Marfi> Adios everyone
[14:14] <pos69sum> does anyone know why that would happen?
[14:14] <lolwtfmynickismy> and now when tryint to re-install windows i bluescreen
[14:14] <lolwtfmynickismy> :<
[14:14] <vegombrei> Marfi: hmm i think ill keep that in mind make sure i get nvidia
[14:14] <lolwtfmynickismy> i think mt motherboard might be slightly shafted :<
[14:14] <Dr_willis> vegombrei,  i would definatly go Nvidia for the video card at least. :)
[14:15] <vegombrei> Dr_willis: i agree, it hurts,
[14:15] <kjs> anyone know a decent web designer?
[14:15] <ikonia> kjs: as in an application ?
[14:15] <lolwtfmynickismy> what does it mean when i can use up to 3 sticks of ram in any configuration on my motherboard but as soon as i try and use all 4 my system refuses to post???
[14:15] <kjs> I need a small site making for my company
[14:15] <lolwtfmynickismy> duff memory controller on motherboard?
[14:15] <ikonia> kjs: you have been here enough to know the channel topic
[14:15] <ikonia> kjs: why are you asking in an ubuntu support channel
[14:15] <linux_guy> pos69sum, paste lshw -C network
[14:16] <kjs> thought there might be some web designers knocking around in here...
[14:16] <ikonia> kjs: you know the topic
[14:16] <linux_guy> ikonia, you're on a roll today
[14:17] <linux_guy> hey, can an ubuntu user use the edubuntu repos?
[14:17] <KDB9000> lolwtfmynickismy, how much ram?
[14:17] <vegombrei> Dr_willis: but in my case i get my company to get me one for my home. thats where i use ubuntu actually im learning linux. catch is they will buy me whatever pc i wish but just once a year. so in my case its better to go flat out and then stay putt for the next 3 yrs. what say you
[14:17] <lolwtfmynickismy> all 1Gb ram sticks
[14:17] <lolwtfmynickismy> can use 3gb
[14:17] <pos69sum> linux_guy - i can't cos i don't have networking on it right now
[14:17] <AdamS42> Hello. Can I just ignore "warning /etc/init.d/myscript missing LSB style header..." when running update-rc.d? Did it fix itself?
[14:17] <lolwtfmynickismy> but as soon as the 4th dgoes in it wont post
[14:17] <pos69sum> i was never able to get wired interface working
[14:18] <j_aroslav> hi guys, i've just installed ubuntu - I can not see my second windows disk, what is the trick to see it?
[14:18] <lolwtfmynickismy> also... im using ubuntu right now because i think somethings wrong elsewhere
[14:18] <KDB9000> lolwtfmynickismy, I am not sure why it won't post (last one might be a bad stick) but i think Ubuntu has a 4 GB limit unless you are using 64-bit (could be wrong on this). have you swapped out one of the working ons with the 4th?
[14:18] <marathon> hello what's .local can i erase it?
[14:18] <lolwtfmynickismy> using 64bit
[14:19] <lolwtfmynickismy> also using 64bit windows
[14:19] <lolwtfmynickismy> tested all sticks also in memtest
[14:19] <lolwtfmynickismy> theyre fine
[14:19] <KDB9000> lolwtfmynickismy, alright, so the last stick does work. what is the motherboard?
[14:19] <creek23> ikonia: i just freed 600MB. i was thinking if i could allot some of those to the /tmp ?
[14:19] <lolwtfmynickismy> swapped them out also trying uindividual ones
[14:20] <lolwtfmynickismy> nvidia 650 sli
[14:20] <dayo_> marathon: don't delete it
[14:20] <vegombrei> Dr_willis: my hardware guy told me about this new ram and solid state harddrives and water cooling systems that makes your pc run so quiet its not funny. about the ram, he told me he can get me 16 gb of ram, it kinda gave me a hard on hehehe i gotta get it bro
[14:20] <KDB9000> lolwtfmynickismy, nvidia makes motherboards now?
[14:20] <marathon> ok but is it used for what?
[14:20] <lolwtfmynickismy> nforce
[14:20] <marathon> there is a ./local/share/Trash
[14:20] <lolwtfmynickismy> its an intel nforce basically
[14:20] <oCean_> lolwtfmynickismy: try to keep the problem description (and your actions so far) on one line.
[14:20] <marathon> can i remove the Trash?
[14:21] <Kartagis> does ubuntu have a downloader which supports username and password like flashget?
[14:21] <KDB9000> lolwtfmynickismy, who makes the board though (MSI, AUSU, Intel, etc... )
[14:21] <Silverwing> marathon, do you have a trash applet around on your desktop?
[14:22] <j_aroslav> anybody could help me please?
[14:22] <Myrtti> Kartagis: this'll sound bad, but yes. wget. there is a graphical frontend for it called gwget, but I'm not sure how good it is.
[14:22] <marathon> in the path ./local/share there is a subfolder Trash
[14:22] <marathon> i would like to remove it
[14:22] <lolwtfmynickismy> Asus p5n-e iirc
[14:22] <marathon> but i don't know why there is a Trash folder in ./local/share
[14:22] <Silverwing> marathon, I'd suggest to backup the files there and give it a try
[14:23] <Machin> hi!
[14:23] <marathon> ok
[14:23] <Silverwing> hi
[14:24] <rakgenius> anybody have idea abt smbtorture
[14:24] <lolwtfmynickismy> also... im using ubuntu right now because i think somethings wrong elsewhere.  previous to today i had some serious issues with my vid card.  in certain situations with heavy load it would almost freeze. like when playing WoW and soemthing requiring a heavy load would happen my FPS would drop to around 1 frame every 4-8 seconds :P
[14:24] <KDB9000> lolwtfmynickismy, alright, the board can hold 8 GB of RAM so that is good
[14:24] <KDB9000> lolwtfmynickismy, are you having a ram problem or a graphic card problem?
[14:25] <lolwtfmynickismy> not altogether sure
[14:25] <KDB9000> lolwtfmynickismy, you said you couldn't post with 4 GB of RAM right?
[14:25] <lolwtfmynickismy> yes
[14:25] <vegombrei> lolwtfmynickismy: what graphics card do you have ?
[14:25] <lolwtfmynickismy> 4850 ati
[14:26] <mo0se> any way to stop a shell script from requiring you to press enter to confirm it completed?
[14:26] <vegombrei> lolwtfmynickismy: someone just told me ubuntu and ati arent that good friends .. they like nvidia better
[14:26] <pos69sum> was there some type of system update yesterday that would cause broadcom wireless cards from working?
[14:26] <lolwtfmynickismy> ye
[14:26] <Dimensions> Hi not sure where to ask this question ... but i have a dedicated server with Ubuntu ... i would like to access its /var/www via its ip ... i have installed it phpmyadmin on it via ssh and can access phpmyadmin login but nothing else ... how do i access its /var/www via its ip ?
[14:26] <pos69sum> would cause broadcom wireless cards to stop working i mean
[14:26] <Kartagis> Myrtti, do you know where username and password are set?
[14:26] <rakgenius> any1 knows abt smbtorture?
[14:27] <Myrtti> Kartagis: there's several options atleast in the commandline version for entering usernames and passwrds
[14:27] <Kartagis> Dimensions, set apache's DocumentRoot
[14:27] <KDB9000> lolwtfmynickismy, why are you using an ATi card in a SLi motherboard?
[14:27] <Dimensions> Kartagis: DocumentRoot is set to /var/www already ...
[14:27] <Myrtti> Kartagis: I'm sure --help will tell you more
[14:28] <Silverwing> pos69sum, I have a broadcom chipset (linksys card) and it's all working fine.. Not sure if my card is the same as yours though
[14:28] <oCean_> Dimensions: what is the error you get
[14:28] <Dimensions> oCean_:  the error is "Not Found" the requested / is not found on this server
[14:28] <KDB9000> lolwtfmynickismy, nevermind. I thought there might be a problem right there but it would still work.
[14:29] <lolwtfmynickismy> im sat here under ubuntu with an ati card in however...  also come to think of it after installing linux prevously under the program notifications at the top right corner i used to get the ATI driver notification (if you know what i mean) but i dont get that now
[14:29] <ibuclaw> mo0se, which shell script would that be?
[14:29] <oCean_> Dimensions: in your DocumentRoot, there is no index file (e.g. index.html or index.php), so if you just type http://<ipaddress> it returns that error
[14:30] <mo0se> ibuclaw: it's a custom backup cron i wrote
[14:30] <oCean_> Dimensions: do you have a subdir in /var/www ? Some application
[14:30] <mo0se> but at the end of running it makes you press enter to quit
[14:30] <KDB9000> lolwtfmynickismy, if you are using ATi, you should use the restricted drivers. for gnome it is in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers
[14:30] <lolwtfmynickismy> nothing appears in the box
[14:30] <Silverwing> moOse, you could try 'echo yourpassword | yourscript'
[14:31] <ibuclaw> Silverwing, I don't think its a password issue :s
[14:31] <Dimensions> oCean_: i have just an index file in /var/www and there is a folder with another test index.html too
[14:31] <Silverwing> ibuclaw, thought it was.. :p never mind
[14:31] <ibuclaw> :þ
[14:31] <ibuclaw> mo0se, can you post the script into a pastebin for analysis?
[14:32] <KDB9000> lolwtfmynickismy, open a terminal and type lspci | grep vga and let me know what you get
[14:32] <mo0se> i think i got it actually... just echoed the keypress for enter hah
[14:32] <oCean_> Dimensions: and http://<ip>/index.html (explicitly) also returns the same error?
[14:32] <Dimensions> yes oCean_
[14:32] <oCean_> Dimensions: see what /var/log/apach2/error_log says
[14:32] <Dimensions> same error with that too
[14:32] <ibuclaw> I'm just curious what command you are using that is asking to press enter....
[14:32] <mo0se> ibuclaw: my last problem is i'm writing success to a log file, echo overwrites everything, is there a way to append it to the end of the doc?
[14:33] <mo0se> ibuclaw: the last command is...
[14:33] <mo0se> tar
[14:33] <KDB9000> lolwtfmynickismy, VGA might need to be in all caps
[14:33] <mo0se> packing a directory
[14:33] <Dimensions> oCean_: [Thu Feb 19 14:28:20 2009] [error] [client *IP*] File does not exist: /htdocs

[14:33] <Pici> mo0se: echo 'foo' >> bar  will append to the end of bar
[14:33] <oCean_> Dimensions: it seems that your DocRoot is not correctly configured
[14:34] <ibuclaw> mo0se, on your "echo overwrites everything" use:  echo "Success" >> /var/log/file.log
[14:34] <oCean_> Dimensions: go check the settings in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
[14:34] <KDB9000> I need some help with an NTFS hard drive that I use between my windows and Ubuntu. Ubuntu doesn't like to mount it after I have had it plugged into windows and I need to type the mount command manually. anyway to fix this?
[14:34] <KDB9000> lolwtfmynickismy, thats not good. what kind of card is it?
[14:34] <oCean_> Dimensions: apache expects the root to be at /htdocs, not /var/www
[14:35] <Dimensions> oCean_:  restarting apache2 gives this warning too "[warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts" and ... waiting apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for localhost.localdomai
[14:35] <lolwtfmynickismy> kind??  radeon HD 4850 thats as much as i know
[14:35] <KDB9000> oCean_, the default is /var/www
[14:35] <oCean_> KDB9000: not in Demensions case, see his error
[14:36] <oCean_> Dimensions: well it seems the apache config is a little off...
[14:36] <Dimensions> oCean_:  site-enable folder is empty
[14:36] <z1pp3r> On a fresh 8.10 install, my wireless (pci card, not a laptop) card was detected and it shows my wireless network. However, whenever i connect to the network the system crashes. Cant even ctrl+alt+F2 to cli. Any ideas?
[14:36] <KDB9000> oCean_, but did he change it to that? I know in all the ubuntu servers i set up with apache2 it is always been defaulted to /var/www
[14:37] <Myrtti> Dimensions: localhost.localdomain? surely it's subdomain.localhost?
[14:37] <oCean_> Dimensions: see in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ if there is a file called "default"
[14:37] <big_ghost> i just installed kubuntu 5.04 is hter any way i can update to 8.10 alternative installlation disk ppc
[14:37] <pumpkin_> hi. I want to install ubuntu 8.10 onto a usb stick. The HD is broken, the laptop can boot from USB. Any special details to think about? Any tutorials (not from usb but to usb)
[14:37] <Myrtti> big_ghost: no.
[14:37] <Dimensions> oCean_ that file is in site-enabled
[14:38] <big_ghost> so what would i have to do to update to 8.10 ?
[14:38] <big_ghost> ppc version
[14:38] <Silverwing> pumpkin, Is your usb-stick large enough? I guess that's all you have to think about :D
[14:38] <Dimensions> KDB9000: that default the ISP guys have given me ...
[14:38] <KDB9000> lolwtfmynickismy,  I am not sure why it is seeing it as unknown, there could be a problem with the card. do you have the power hooked up to it and is your power supply able to handle it?
[14:38] <oCean_> Dimensions: site-enabled folder was *empty* you said. site-available has default file?
[14:38] <Mean_Admin> is there any simple app that sends an email if a selected HDD fails ?
[14:38] <e3co> big_ghost:  sudo update-manager -d
[14:38] <lolwtfmynickismy> story so far... relatively old motherboard that ive dug out.  cant use a full 4 memory slots or no post just a blank screen when i turn on.  my memory is fine however.  I also had a few graphical issues that ive tried to fix.  Now when it try and boot to windows i blue screen just after the windows loading screen.  Would i be right in suspecting a motherboard issue?
[14:38] <pumpkin_> Silverwing, 16GB ... i need a desktop and a java install.
[14:38] <Myrtti> e3co: did you see what he's on now?
[14:38] <big_ghost> ok thanks
[14:39] <e3co> sorry I didn't
[14:39] <jmleong> hi guys
[14:39] <Silverwing> pumpkin, that should go fine. You could even do a full installation on a 16GB stick.
[14:39] <jmleong> can i get help from here?
[14:39] <e3co> big_ghost:  what are you using for an os?
[14:39] <jmleong> or i have to go other place?
[14:39] <Dimensions> yes oCean_  thats correct that default file is in site-available ... while site-enabled folder is empty
[14:39] <KDB9000> lolwtfmynickismy, when you tested the memory, did you test out all the slots?
[14:39] <lolwtfmynickismy> KDB9000: yes it does have the power supply input plugged in... and yes i have a modular 620w PSU
[14:39] <pumpkin_> Silverwing, does the bootloader install fine on usb ?
[14:39] <oCean_> Dimensions: if the site-enabled folder is empty enable, the "default" virtual host by using command "/usr/sbin/a2ensite default"
[14:40] <jmleong> i have some problem with sata dvdrom
[14:40] <lolwtfmynickismy> tested the memory modules themselves... used them all individually and in each slot
[14:40] <jmleong> my laptop is full sata
[14:40] <Silverwing> pumpkin, You have to select your usb stick in the last screen of the installation, at the 'advanced' button
[14:40] <milligan_> I have a USB to Serial converter, and it's discovered by lsusb .. Bus 006 Device 005: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC . How can I telnet to the device I connect ?
[14:40] <oCean_> Dimensions: that will make a symlink from the default file in sites-available to a 000-default in sites-enabled.
[14:40] <Silverwing> for bootloader
[14:40] <jmleong> bye guys
[14:40] <igascream> hello all. have some problem with login via GDM . xserver simply restarted. can anybody give some advice?
[14:41] <z1pp3r> On a fresh 8.10 install, my wireless (pci card, linksys WMP110 RangePlus) card was detected and it shows my wireless network. However, whenever i try connect to the network the system crashes. Cant even ctrl+alt+F2 to cli. The network is WPA encrypted. Any ideas what could be going on?
[14:41] <oCean_> Dimensions: from the main apache2.conf this site-enabled directory is included in the config. So if the link exists, edit the default file to suit your needs, like editing the DocumentRoot
[14:41] <Silverwing> pumpkin, you could also try the create usb startup disk utility (system -> administration)
[14:41] <Dimensions> Thank you oCean_  ... its working now ...
[14:41] <oCean_> Dimensions: yay! :)
[14:41] <Dimensions> heheheh...
[14:41] <lolwtfmynickismy> KDB9000: i might also add than an old vid card that works fine also doesnt work in this PC... refuses to post also...
[14:41] <mneptok> lolwtfmynickismy: each RAM stick alone allows the machine to boot, but with 4 it dies?
[14:41] <lolwtfmynickismy> yep
[14:42] <pumpkin_> Silverwing, will try the simple version first, the second alternative later. Thanks.
[14:42] <Dimensions> :) oCean_  is the warning i receive while reloading / restarting apache of any concern ?
[14:42] <erUSUL> z1pp3r: sounds like a real "kernel panic" aka "bsod of linux". do the leds of the keyboard flash when the crash occurs?
[14:42] <mneptok> lolwtfmynickismy: probably mixed MHz frequencies.
[14:42] <Silverwing> pumpkin, the second is easier :p good luck
[14:42] <mneptok> lolwtfmynickismy: 2 100 and 2 133 or something.
[14:42] <DIFH-iceroot> !fakeraid
[14:42] <KDB9000> lolwtfmynickismy, well you mentioned it being an older board, I would try doing a bios update on it and see where that takes you. it is possible the board might have problems
[14:43] <z1pp3r> erUSUL, I'm pretty sure they dont. Is there a log file where i can find the 'dmesg' of the last boot or something? As it is, its kindda hard to figure out whats wrong
[14:43] <igascream> Some idea about how to repair GDM????
[14:43] <erUSUL> z1pp3r: /var/log/messages
[14:43] <z1pp3r> cheers
[14:44] <oCean_> Dimensions: well, the thing about no virtualhosts should be gone by now. As far as the other one concerns, I'd like to setup my webserver to know the hosts ServerName, and add that ip to the /etc/hosts file, that way apache know what it's talking about... or who :-)
[14:44] <lolwtfmynickismy> mneptok: all rams sticks are geil 1GB PC2-6400 sticks.... same MHz
[14:44] <mneptok> lolwtfmynickismy: total capacity?
[14:45] <lolwtfmynickismy> 4GB... but im using 64bit OS both win and linux
[14:45] <lolwtfmynickismy> and this mobo takes 8Gb max
[14:45] <piet44> someone knows if i can update a specific package? for example apt-get update apache2
[14:45] <mneptok> lolwtfmynickismy: check with mobo OEM
[14:45] <Dimensions> thank you oCean_  :)
[14:46] <lolwtfmynickismy> OEM?
[14:46] <oCean_> Dimensions: cheers.
[14:46] <KDB9000> lolwtfmynickismy, try doing a bios upgrade
[14:47] <lolwtfmynickismy> usedto be able to do that via windows with asus motherboard.... long time since ive ever tried a dos bios upgrade
[14:48] <burkmat> `apt-get update` checks the repos for updates, but does the GUI alert me to every single package with an available upgrade or is there some sort of qualification?
[14:49] <berriop> I have an customized ubuntu installation on my desktop PC, I want to copy/transfer the same customized ubuntu to another PC, which is the best method? create an .iso image?
[14:49] <berriop> I dont wanna mesh with the drivers
[14:50] <burkmat> piet44, I'm not 100% sure how aptitude handles updates, but running `sudo apt-get update` would probably make your GUI alert you to possible updates, and I'm fairly sure you can choose what update to install using that.
[14:50] <less> compiz says xgl is missing.. what is it for?
[14:52] <the_dark_warrio> What is the best pen drive brand for ubuntu?
[14:53] <hanslik> radioshack
[14:53] <KDB9000> I put my hard drives's info into fstab so that when I plug it in, it will get mounted automatically, but when I plugged it in I get insufficient pivileged. why? what can I do to fix this?.
[14:53] <hanslik> waaaa
[14:54] <sipior> KDB9000: do you have the "user" option for the drive in /etc/fstab?
[14:54] <letalis> KDB9000: your fstab permissions are such that a non root user doesnt have access to them
[14:54] <padi> I can't run a .pl file with my webbrowser. It always wants to download the file. The executable flag is set. What could be the reason that firefox does not execute the file?
[14:54] <CosmiChaos> how do i apply gtk-themes for superuser aplications (like synaptic). i know some work but i.e overglossed only just works for the user, all superuseraplications still in clearlooks, sudo gtk-theme-switch2 didnt work either, please help
[14:55] <KDB9000> sipior, I am not sure what you mean
[14:55] <powerslave> Anyone willing to help me to set Anjuta'a parameters?
[14:55] <KDB9000> sipior, here is the code I put into fstab "UUID=5C6CD4676CD43D88 /media/FreeAgent ntfs-3g force 0 0"
[14:55] <letalis> KDB9000: /dev/scd1       /media/cdrom2   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0
[14:56] <letalis> thats the line for my cdrom drive in fstab
[14:56] <sipior> KDB9000: it should read "user,force" (and do you need the force option, btw?)
[14:57] <powerslave> Anyone willing to help me to set Anjuta'a parameters please...
[14:58] <epcom> oláà
[14:58] <epcom> ?
[14:58] <luckybreeze> >>
[14:58] <Pici> !br | epcom
[14:58] <KDB9000> sipior,  letalis, what I posted was what ubuntu told me to put in (aside from using the UUID, i did that). yes, I need the force option. When i unplug it from my windows system and then into my ubuntu system it acts like it is still in use and will not mount it unless i type in the mount command with -f (force).
[14:58] <sipior> padi: web browsers don't execute perl scripts. they ask a web server to execute a perl script...is your server configured to do this?
[14:59] <epcom> hello
[14:59] <epcom>  ?
[14:59] <sipior> KDB9000: well then just add "user" and you should be fine, i think.
[14:59] <KDB9000> sipior, I will give it a try
[14:59] <powerslave> Anyone willing to help me to set Anjuta's program parameters please...
[15:00] <sipior> powerslave: you'd get better help with a more specific question.
[15:00] <ice_cream> hi, what's the typical procedure for updating the whole system?  Mainly i'm curious if a full upgrade is recommended over a safe one, and I want to see what the apt-get way is before i decide how I want to do it w/ aptitude
[15:00] <berriop> I have an customized ubuntu installation on my desktop PC, I want to copy/transfer the same customized ubuntu to another PC, which is the best method? create an .iso image?
[15:01] <KDB9000> sipior, got a different error that time
[15:01] <powerslave> I mean what to write in the "Program Parameter" dialog in Anjuta in order to run a C program.
[15:01] <berriop> or how can I configure/change the liveCD to meet my needs so then I can install the same customized ubuntu in another pc?
[15:01] <sipior> KDB9000: you're not going to make me guess what it is, are you?
[15:02] <KDB9000> sipior, hold on
[15:03] <ice_cream> berriop, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[15:04] <z1pp3r> erUSUL: Hmm, i wasn't really able to find anything in the logs that could explain why my system crashes. I did find this in the 'messages' log though: "kernel: [    0.400252] mtrr: your CPUs had inconsistent fixed MTRR settings"
[15:04] <KDB9000> sipior,  Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3g with integrated FUSE support and make it setuid root. Please see more information at http://nfts-3g/support.html#unprivileged
[15:04] <ice_cream> but there should be a method to take your hard drive image as well
[15:04] <erUSUL> z1pp3r: may be a harmless warning...
[15:05] <erUSUL> z1pp3r: some crashess do not leave any trace...
[15:05] <sipior> KDB9000: well, they've given you a clear way forward, at least. is the information following the link at all useful?
[15:06] <KDB9000> sipior, I am checking now. it is .org, forgot to put that in.
[15:06] <PeskyJ> Does evolution email client store *everything* in ~/.evolution? Considering setting up an encrypted filesystem there for it to use
[15:06] <z1pp3r> erUSUL, Hmm, makes it pretty hard to debug =/
[15:07] <ice_cream> oh, i guess i didnt really need to worry about my earlier query..  safe-upgrade returned same proposition as full-upgrade
[15:07] <odder> does anybody know how to edit startup order in 8.10? there was such an option in session-properties in previous versions, I remember, but it seems to be gone...
[15:08] <e3co> isn't startup order handled in .bashrc ?
[15:08] <w0ls0n> hey guys quick question for ya
[15:08] <DizzyDoo> Beginner Question: I've downloaded the Ubuntu Server ISO, but how do I create a bootable CD for the installation? Do I just unzip the contents onto the CD?
[15:09] <ice_cream> odder, you should be a bit more specific so the chan knows which startup you mean -- system startup scripts, or scripts that run after your window manager (e.g. gnome)  loads
[15:09] <w0ls0n> I have to do mount /dev/sdb1 /backup and mount /dev/sdc1 /stuff manually
[15:09] <jamiejackson> what's it take to get dual monitor (laptop display + external monitor) going in ubuntu? (Dell D620 with dock and external monitor)
[15:09] <n8tuserf> odder -> startup order as in what listed in  /etc/init.d/S*  ?
[15:09] <jamiejackson> DizzyDoo: you need to burn the iso to disk
[15:09] <e3co> thats in fstab auto mount
[15:09] <jamiejackson> you have cd burning software i assume, DizzyDoo?
[15:09] <w0ls0n> how do I add them to /etc/fstab ... I can't figure out /etc/fstab
[15:09] <tiredbones> I ran this command -  growisofs -Z /dev/scd0 -speed=1 -iso-level 4 -r /var/dar/home.1.dar    and got his error - /dev/scd0: media is not recognized as recordable DVD: A  -  I'm using distro 8.04. can someone tell me what this error is? I have burn ubuntu iso files with this burner.
[15:09] <DizzyDoo> jamiejackson: That's what I've tried, with Nero on XP, but I get a boot disk error
[15:10] <KDB9000> sipior, doesn't really look like it will help me that much. after i do the mount command for it, it will mount automatically afterwards, it is just after i have it plugged into my windows system.
[15:10] <tobberoth> So in my quest for apache2 with PHP and mySQL, I happened to use tasksel... and it deleted most of my system :/ (Trying to say that the guide to get a LAMP server was... vague to say the least). However, could I simply reinstall all the packages or did it change more than just my installed packages? I know it messed with my interfaces file, but that's to be expected I guess
[15:10] <jamiejackson> did you burn as iso DizzyDoo? it's not the same as creating a data cd
[15:10] <odder> ice_cream: I mean startup order after you login in into gnome
[15:10] <DizzyDoo> jamiejackson: I did select data CD, should I of selected Bootable Disk?
[15:10] <z1pp3r> On a fresh Ubuntu 8.10 install, the system crashes whenever i try to connect to my WPA encrypted wireless network using a Linksys WMP110 RangePlus PCI card. Any ideas what could be wrong?
[15:10] <tobberoth> DizzyDoo: You should probably burn a CD from the image file. Get a burning software which can do so.
[15:11] <n8tuserf> odder -> sorry ..startup order as in what listed in  /etc/rcS.d/*
[15:11] <sipior> tiredbones: is there in fact a recordable dvd in the drive? the error seems pretty clear. you've used this exact command before successfully?
[15:11] <jamiejackson> you need to burn the cd from an image, i'm sure ther'es an option in nero, DizzyDoo
[15:11] <jamiejackson> like "create cd from image" or something, DizzyDoo
[15:11] <DizzyDoo> jamiejackson: Thanks, I'll check for that
[15:11] <jamiejackson> k
[15:12] <berriop> thaanks ice?cram
[15:12] <ice_cream> np
[15:12] <tiredbones> sipior, no I have not use this command before. I use sony cd +rw disk. my drive is suppose to write on all media.
[15:12] <ice_cream> odder, not running gnome atm, but according to an ubuntu forum post   System-->Preferences-->Sessions   perhaps?
[15:13] <erUSUL> z1pp3r: one option you have is to install linux-backports-modules maybe the backported module (driver for the wifi) does not crash the machine
[15:13] <Kartagis> Myrtti, I wrote wget --http-user=user --http-password=password http://rapidshare.com/files/41385086/file.name.here but all I got was a HTML file. any ideas?
[15:13] <odder> ice_cream: as I wrote before, it was available before 8.10, but not now
[15:13] <erUSUL> z1pp3r: other option is to try out other kernel versions (older or newer from proposed)
[15:13] <odder> and I remember using it even in 7.04
[15:13] <ice_cream> ok, maybe someone else here knows
[15:13] <jabba_> hello
[15:13] <vegombrei> i have a freind trying to connect to my pc thru ftp .. he's using cute ftp for windows what address should he connect to ? my ip ?
[15:14] <e3co> are there any open source logo designers out there?
[15:14] <Kingsy101> can someone tell me, can I run pear commands from a ubuntu console?
[15:14] <vegombrei> how do i check if my ftp is running ?
[15:14] <Kartagis> vegombrei, your IP and port 21
[15:14] <carpii__> Kartargis, rapidhshare probably checks useragent and referrer url to make sure you dont bypass their web interface
[15:14] <sipior> tiredbones: could you verify that your userid is a member of the "cdrom" group?
[15:14] <z1pp3r> erUSUL: okay.... i'll try that
[15:14] <z1pp3r> thanks
[15:14] <carpii__> because they want you to buy their premium service
[15:14] <Kingsy101> i.e SSH
[15:14] <jabba_> can anyone tell me how to configure amavis+clamav to send a notification-mail to an email-recipient who got a virus-infected mail?
[15:14] <tiredbones> sipior, sure.
[15:14] <unop> Kartagis, if you put that url in your browser - you get a HTML page, so you expect wget to get the same
[15:14] <Pici> odder: System>Preferences>Sessions should still exist. If for some reason you don't see it, it may be hidden from your menu. run alacarte (or right click on the menu and select edit-menu) and see if it is unchecked.
[15:14] <vegombrei> Kartagis: he says its not signing in
[15:15] <Kartagis> vegombrei, /etc/init.d/vsftpd status
[15:15] <burkmat> vegombrei, Are you behind a NAT:ed router? Firewall?
[15:15] <vegombrei> Kartagis: how do i check if my ftp is on ?
[15:15] <tiredbones> sipior, give me a second.
[15:15] <alvin_3> i'm using Ubuntu Desktop version, i want to test something on computer using my laptop. i added the my ip to my laptop's host file, but it is not returning anything
[15:15] <alvin_3> can someone help?
[15:15] <odder> Pici: gosh, I would have tried that before asking on IRC. No such option available
[15:17] <Kartagis> unop, you know of any other downloaders which support username and password like flashget?
[15:17] <scribawf> How do I fix Image Viewer to open pics (jpg, png) in file browser?
[15:17] <Pici> odder: How about running gnome-session-properties manually?
[15:17] <Kingsy101> can someone tell me if I can run pear commands from a ubuntu console?
[15:18] <tiredbones> sipior, my sign on is a member of cdrom.
[15:18] <sipior> alvin_3: you'll need to describe your network arrangement a bit, and exactly what you were trying to test on your laptop, and what you expected to be returned.
[15:18] <powerslave> Can anyone tell me what to write in the "Program Parameter" dialog in Anjuta in order to run a C program?
[15:19] <Pici> odder: If that doesnt exist, make sure that you have the gnome-session package installed, but I'd highly doubt you'd have a functioning gnome without it (although I havent fully checked its contents)
[15:19] <unop> Kartagis, well, none of the conventional ones will work with rapidshare - you'll need something specially written for it
[15:19] <tiredbones> sipior, my sign on is a member of cdrom. Here's the entry -  cdrom:x:24:wayne
[15:19] <sipior> tiredbones: wait, did you say you were using a *CD* +RW disk?
[15:20] <tiredbones> sipior, yes
[15:20] <odder> Pici: yes, I'm alt+f2 running it, not through the menu
[15:20] <alvin_3> sipior: i have a php site running on my ubuntu desktop computer locally, but i want to test IE6/7 issues on my pc laptop, how can i make my pc laptop access to my ubuntu site? i added /host file on my window to point to ubuntu ip, doesnt work
[15:20] <sipior> tiredbones: clearly the drive is expecting a writable dvd disk, yes?
[15:20] <Kartagis> unop, flashget works (I run it on wine) but it sometimes gives me trouble
[15:21] <Kartagis> unop, mostly CRC failures in files I download
[15:21] <tiredbones> sipior, I always used cd+rw, are you saying I now have to use dvd disk.
[15:22] <sipior> tiredbones: you've always used cds with growisofs?
[15:22] <vegombrei> burkmat: yes a wifi router but my pc is wired in
[15:22] <deveras> hello. i need to enable modrewrite on apache but i dont have the command a2enmod rewrite is there another way to go about it? apache2 -l doesn't display the modulo either
[15:23] <burkmat> vegombrei, Look into port forwarding.
[15:23] <HHut> what is the command to end compiz? like kwin --replace in kde?
[15:23] <KazaLite> hi all. when i run command 'apt -get' i get message that 'bash: apt: command not found'
[15:23] <tiredbones> sipior, not with this command. I'm trying to backup my system using command line tool for the purpose.
[15:23] <KazaLite> whats wrong?
[15:23] <vegombrei> burkmat: port forwarding ??
[15:23] <odder> KazaLite: its apt-get
[15:23] <burkmat> vegombrei, Yes.
[15:23] <odder> KazaLite: without the space
[15:23] <KazaLite> errr...am idiot
[15:24] <vegombrei> burkmat: what are good ftp software for ubuntu ?
[15:24] <oCean_> deveras: in /etc/apache2/mods-available I do have rewrite
[15:24] <tiredbones> sipior, I'm tired of trying to get various gui tool for this purpose.
[15:24] <burkmat> vegombrei, Off the top off my head I'd recommend proftpd.
[15:24] <oCean_> deveras: it comes with apache2.2-common
[15:24] <odder> vegombrei: I used to like gftp, for example
[15:24] <vegombrei> burkmat: could you name some more .. i installed one a few days ago but forgot what it was called
[15:25] <HHut> what is the command to end compiz? like kwin --replace in kde? i didnt use gnome a lot
[15:25] <sipior> tiredbones: yeah, the growisofs manpage does not mention CD support, and i'm fairly certain the program will fail on them. but if you're backing up a system, surely DVDs are the better choice anyhow? (well, best would be to copy your data to two removable hard drives)
[15:25] <vegombrei> burkmat: thing is i donno if its running and how to check .. it worked when i first installed it
[15:25] <burkmat> vegombrei, None of them are going to work unless you set up port forwarding... Did you look into it or are you just ignoring that advice? ;)
[15:25] <vegombrei> burkmat: googled it but really confused as im a noob
[15:26] <odder> Pici: any other ideas how to manage that startup order?
[15:26] <deveras> oCean i created the symbolic link in mods-enable to that mods-available and restared apache, but i still doesnt show up in apache2 -l and the rewrite rules arent working
[15:26] <burkmat> vegombrei, Basically, access your router and forward an external port to an internal one.
[15:26] <tiredbones> sipior, I guess I'll go to staples and buy some dvd +rw.
[15:26] <KDB9000> sipior, the website didn't help me any. When I run the mount command in the terminal for my hard drive, I get this $LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 1) then on the next line WARNING: Forced mount, reset $LogFile.
[15:27] <vegombrei> burkmat: can i do that by connecting to the router thru my browser ?
[15:27] <deveras> how do i install the command a2enmod
[15:27] <tiredbones> sipior, thanks for your help.
[15:27] <burkmat> vegombrei, Yes.
[15:27] <sipior> tiredbones: depending on the amount you have to back up, please consider getting two removable hard drives. less money per gigabyte, easier to manage.
[15:27] <KazaLite> i've gcc installed but it fails to find standard C include files e.g. stdio.h .... how to fix it?:'(
[15:28] <NarbeH> I'm in live session. how can i low level format my HDD ?
[15:28] <vegombrei> burkmat: would you like to walk me thru it ?
[15:28] <sipior> KDB9000: well that's a bizarre error. what's the precise mount command that you're running?
[15:28] <oCean_> deveras: apache2 -l lists only the build-ins /compiled-ins i guess. The rewrite rules not working... any clues in error_log, or in browser?
[15:28] <Wille_eee> !ath
[15:28] <NarbeH> I'm in live session. how can i low level format my HDD ?
[15:29] <burkmat> vegombrei, No I would not. :P But check out http://portforward.com/
[15:29] <Titan8990> NarbeH, fdisk
[15:29] <NarbeH> Titan8990: thq :)
[15:29] <deveras> oCean_ not really basicly the error log claims the file doesn't exist (cause it doesnt do the redirect)
[15:29] <deveras> the rewrite i mean

[15:29] <presshre> NarbeH: are u from Iran?
[15:30] <KDB9000> sipior, it mounts it, but i am just saying the command. command is sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/FreeAgent -o force and then it displays the 2 things i told you and i can see the hard drive on my desktop, but i don't want to type the command in everytime i want to use my external
[15:30] <NarbeH> presshre: yes. why?
[15:30] <Wille_eee> when i go from hibernation to wakeup mode, the system (ath5) wants to reset "noise level" on three diffrent channels, why?
[15:30] <jako> ello, sorry for the lame question but I have a doubt: having a Mobile DualCore Intel Core 2 Duo 1800 MHz which arch shall I choose? ia64 isn't it?
[15:30] <presshre> NarbeH: just a question ;)
[15:30] <NarbeH> presshre: don't think bad things about me :)
[15:30] <presshre> NarbeH: nevermind
[15:30] <NarbeH> :)
[15:31] <omnydevi1> jako: how much ram ya got?
[15:31] <vegombrei> burkmat: my netgear router isnt on that list
[15:31] <burkmat> vegombrei, I doubt it. What router is it?
[15:32] <vegombrei> burkmat: NETGEAR WNR854T
[15:32] <sipior> KDB9000: btw, is your login a member of the fuse group? (type "groups" to check)
[15:33] <InfectedWithDrew> Hello all, I've been having trouble with the EXT2 IFS on Windows.  If you don't know what that is, the site is fs-driver.org.  Anyways, when I try to mount a drive, it breaks my computer, trying to mount swap as C:.  The diagnosis tool said something about me using something with 256 when I should have used 128, and said I'd have to redo my installation.  I forget this error message, and can't re-create it without possibly b
[15:33] <NarbeH> Titan8990: sorry i can't find the command... what is it?
[15:33] <burkmat> vegombrei, Alright, well, take a look at some of the other Netgear guides (another WNR perhaps?), and see if they help you out? Quite easy to draw parallels.
[15:33] <KDB9000> sipior, yes
[15:33] <sipior> KDB9000: actually, check for groups disk and plugdev as well
[15:33] <Titan8990> NarbeH, sudo fdisk /dev/sdxx
[15:34] <NarbeH> Titan8990: is it low level format?
[15:34] <KDB9000> sipior, how?
[15:34] <sipior> KDB9000: same command...
[15:34] <Titan8990> NarbeH, depends on your definition of a low level format
[15:34] <vegombrei> burkmat: already on it
[15:34] <alvin_3> sipior: any idea how can i do thath?
[15:34] <Titan8990> NarbeH, by wikipedia's definition it is
[15:34] <aboSamoor> I have KONICA Minolta 7222 network printer, I am using the PPD file provided by windows driver by instead of ubuntu page i got 31 page rabbish !? ANy help ?
[15:34] <jako> omnydevi1 2GB
[15:34] <NarbeH> Titan8990: got ir
[15:34] <NarbeH> Titan8990: it*
[15:34] <sipior> alvin_3: sorry, do what again?
[15:34] <Titan8990> NarbeH, if you were looking to say, shred the data, you either want DBAN or use dd
[15:34] <KDB9000> sipior, ah, was confused for a second. plugdev yes, disk no
[15:35] <Titan8990> NarbeH, or even possible shred
[15:35] <NarbeH> Titan8990: aha dd.
[15:35] <Titan8990> NarbeH, to write zeros:    sudo dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024k of=/dev/sdx
[15:35] <Mean_Admin> can I send emails with default of 8.1 ?
[15:36] <NarbeH> Titan8990: u know what? my HDD has got lots of badsectors ,,,
[15:36] <Matic> aboSamoor, am sorry you can't use ppd file for windows in linux, just use the other options
[15:36] <big_ghost> i am trying to install ubuntu 8.10 on a ibook g3 and it says that the cd-rom drive cannot be mounted and ask to have a floppy with the cd-rom driver on it to load is there such a driver
[15:36] <Titan8990> NarbeH, already ran fsck?
[15:36] <NarbeH> Titan8990: no
[15:37] <Matic> anyone who knows how to connect evolution to a gmail account such that you can send and receive e-mails?
[15:37] <aboSamoor> Matic: I did not get it. I can not find a linux driver for the printer. so I was advised in this channel to get the PPD file provided by the manufacturer !
[15:37] <Titan8990> Matic, same way you would with any other MUA
[15:37] <NemsSs> Hi everybody
[15:37] <Titan8990> Matic, just view the gmail documentation
[15:37] <Titan8990> Matic, there is nothing gmail specific, but setting it up using a different guide shouldn't be difficult
[15:37] <alex_goanta_2012> hey
[15:37] <Titan8990> Matic, err, mean evolution specifci
[15:38] <Matic> Titan8990, thanks yes I mean that
[15:38] <alex_goanta_2012> how can i mount a partition?
[15:38] <burkmat> alex_goanta_2012, Using the `mount` command.
[15:38] <oCean_> deveras: it's "apache2ctl -M" to list all loaded modules (static and shared). Use "apache2ctl -M 2>/tmp/modules.txt" to create a file containing modulelist. See if rewrite is loaded indeed
[15:38] <alex_goanta_2012> more details
[15:39] <sipior> alvin_3: i found your previous post: have you verified that you can ping your desktop from your laptop? are these on the same network?
[15:39] <Matic> alex_goanta_2012, try mount -a
[15:40] <alex_goanta_2012> it says:mount: only root can do that
[15:40] <alex_goanta_2012> alex@alex-desktop:~$
[15:41] <Matic> alex_goanta_2012, type sudo su and then give the password then type the command
[15:41] <NarbeH> Titan8990: sorry. what is this command do? sudo dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024k of=/dev/sda
[15:41] <oCean_> alex_goanta_2012: to use mount command, use "sudo" to start command (so command is executed as root) However, the mount -a command will *only* work if the new partition (filesystem) you want to mount is specified in /etc/fstab file
[15:42] <Titan8990> NarbeH, it writes all zeros to the disk
[15:42] <NarbeH> Titan8990: aha
[15:42] <NarbeH> Titan8990: how long does it takes?
[15:42] <oCean_> alex_goanta_2012: If you just added a disk and want a new partition to be mounted, you'll have to add a line to /etc/fstab file
[15:42] <Titan8990> NarbeH, when I did it last week it did about 50-60mb/s
[15:43] <Titan8990> NarbeH, with my 500gb sata drives
[15:43] <aboSamoor> Matic: Any idea ?
[15:43] <Titan8990> NarbeH, so about as fast as the rw speed of your drive
[15:43] <Matic> aboSamoor, about?
[15:43] <NarbeH> Titan8990: aha . my HDD now is Deleted.
[15:43] <thiago_> VFS/samba-vscan-0.3.6b/include/vscan-config.h:77:1: warning: "PACKAGE_BUGREPORT" redefined
[15:43] <NarbeH> Titan8990: nothing in it.
[15:44] <aboSamoor> Matic: how can I configure the Network printer
[15:44] <sachael> does anyone know what the letters in the "S" column in htop mean?
[15:44] <Titan8990> NarbeH, you can still write 0s to it, if you are worried about someone trying to look at it with a electron microscope
[15:45] <NarbeH> Titan8990: no not about privacy. my problem is badsectors ...
[15:45] <Mean_Admin> I installed smartd and asked it to send test email. tail /var/log/syslog says it sent the test email but I've received no such mail in my inbox nor in my junk mail, what am I missing ? do I have to setup smtp/pop for outgoing emails ?
[15:45] <big_ghost> i installed ubuntu 8.10 pp version (alternative instillation disk) the instillation get to cd-rom detection anf fails is ther a fix for this ?
[15:45] <Titan8990> NarbeH, then the fdisk format should be fine, as long as the disc is not actually failing or dieing
[15:45] <NarbeH> Titan8990: so can i cancel the sudo dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024k of=/dev/sda ?
[15:45] <Titan8990> NarbeH, yes
[15:46] <Matic> aboSamoor, check with the manufacturers website whether they offer the drivers for linux, some like Hp do but I must tell you it is not easy to get it working especially if it's not a Hp printer but I don't mean that it is impossible, just check out that man first
[15:46] <NarbeH> Titan8990: ok i have to run this? sudo fdisk /dev/sda
[15:46] <Titan8990> !cups | aboSamoor
[15:46] <InfectedWithDrew> Hello all, how do I set the inode size of an Ubuntu installation to 128?
[15:46] <Titan8990> NarbeH, if you have not already, make sure that the drive you are formatting is sda....
[15:47] <Titan8990> NarbeH, in the interactive fdisk prompt, you can hit "m" for help
[15:47] <alex_goanta_2012> when windows will be free it will be as difficult to use as linux?
[15:47] <jiffe92> anyone know a way to preseed `apt-get install mysql-server` with a hash of the root password so that it doesn't have to ask for it?
[15:48] <NarbeH> Titan8990: i saw.
[15:48] <hbekel> alex_goanta_2012: pebkac
[15:48] <ice_cream> alex_goanta_2012, when windows will be free, pigs will fly
[15:48] <ice_cream> but that's ot
[15:48] <sipior> InfectedWithDrew: construct an appropriate filesystem with mke2fs, and then install ubuntu into it. i don't believe you can alter the value after the fact.
[15:48] <alex_goanta_2012> windows 7 will be free
[15:48] <Titan8990> NarbeH, just make your partitions and:    mke2fs -j /dev/sdxx
[15:48] <alex_goanta_2012> my friend
[15:48] <Dr_willis> alex_goanta_2012,  Yea.. sure.. i dont see that happening.
[15:48] <NarbeH> Titan8990: ook :) thq alot
[15:48] <Titan8990> NarbeH, to format in ext3   or:     mkswap to make swap
[15:48] <InfectedWithDrew> sipior, I am aware of this.  How does mke2fs work?
[15:48] <Titan8990> NarbeH, np
[15:48] <ross_> hi
[15:49] <NarbeH> Titan8990: can i do it with gparted?
[15:49] <ice_cream> afaik windows 7 beta is temporarily free
[15:49] <Matic> alex_goanta_2012, if you haven't liked linux, then you haven't discovered it yet, please try
[15:49] <Titan8990> NarbeH, if you want to do it the newb way, sure
[15:49] <ross_> hi adam
[15:49] <InfectedWithDrew> sipior, is there an option in GParted?  This thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-979523.html alludes to it
[15:49] <sipior> InfectedWithDrew: btw, when you do the install, be sure to inform ubuntu not to overwrite the empty filesystem you just created ;-)
[15:49] <NarbeH> Titan8990: so after making partition?
[15:50] <Mean_Admin> ok, I'll rephrase this, can an app send an outgoing mail with only default parameters on ubuntu 8.1?
[15:50]  * Andelkrag dice hola. :P
[15:50] <ross_> i need to change my bash properties in my remastered live cd
[15:50] <alex_goanta_2012> trust, i want to ,but i just can`t mount that stupid partition
[15:50] <Titan8990> NarbeH, yes, but I think that gparted can make the partitions as well, if that is your choice
[15:50] <NarbeH> Titan8990: aha
[15:50] <Kingsy101> can someone tell me the sudo apt install "package name" of the command line version of php so I can run pear commands from the console?
[15:50] <Dr_willis> alex_goanta_2012,  learn to use the mount command, and the command line, and then you will be able to trouble shoot the problem, (whatever the problem is, i havent been paying attation)
[15:51] <Matic> Kingsy101, php-cli
[15:51] <InfectedWithDrew> sipior, how do I do that?
[15:51] <oCean_> alex_goanta_2012: is it a new partition? Is it a new disk? What filesystem is on the partition?
[15:52] <sipior> InfectedWithDrew: "man mke2fs". the option you're looking for is -I, i think
[15:52] <Kingsy101> Matic - it says php-cli is ont available
[15:52] <ajitam> hi I just configure smb share on my ubuntu server. Everything's OK I can connect but when I do I and up in some wired folder (/var/lib/samba/printers/)
[15:52] <Kingsy101> not*
[15:52] <NarbeH> Titan8990: done with fdisk. :) thq alot
[15:52] <alex_goanta_2012> it is a old partition with music and  moviesand is ntfs
[15:52] <Titan8990> NarbeH, np
[15:52] <Matic> Kingsy101, try php5-cli
[15:53] <Kingsy101> yea that seems to be working
[15:53] <InfectedWithDrew> sipior, is this after I've created an ext3 filesystem that I would install the OS to?  (I'm going to be installing Ubuntu on a friend's computer and it'd be nice if the ext2 IFS worked...)
[15:53] <Dr_willis> One of these days we need to track down a 'walk a user through mounting a ntfs parittion wizazrd script'
[15:53] <oCean_> alex_goanta_2012: do you know the device name? (like /dev/sda2, /dev/sdb1 ...)
[15:53] <sipior> InfectedWithDrew: so, for ext3, something like mke2fs -m 0 -j -I 128 /dev/foo
[15:53] <alex_goanta_2012> dev/sda5
[15:53] <KazaLite> now apt-get fails to install build-essential because it could not find the package on the archive....how can i change the urls on which apt-get should search for the packages?
[15:53] <sipior> InfectedWithDrew: yes, simply create a filesystem on an available partition, then tell ubuntu to install using that partition, being careful to instruct the installer not to overwrite it.
[15:54] <jamiejackson> if I've got a laptop in a dock, should i be able to run a separate monitor from the dock's video port? (not just to show me the same thing on my laptop display, but to show another display?)
[15:54] <oCean_> alex_goanta_2012: the actual mount command for one-time mount would be "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /music", where "/music" should be an existing directory
[15:54] <ice_cream> alex_goanta_2012, just mount it to some mount point..
[15:54] <burkmat> jamiejackson, if your graphics card supports dual monitors, then yes.
[15:54] <oCean_> alex_goanta_2012: if you want to mount the filesystem after every boot, you need to add a line in /etc/fstab file
[15:55] <Dr_willis> example fstab like for ntfs --> /dev/sda1 /media/Vista ntfs-3g defaults,umask=0,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0
[15:55] <n8tuserf> jamiejackson -> seems reasonable, look into gdmflexiserver
[15:55] <oCean_> Dr_willis: that saved me a couple of keystrokes :)
[15:55] <ice_cream> and consider the "auto" option too
[15:55] <InfectedWithDrew> sipior, I understand the -I parameter but what do the -m and -j parameters do?  I want to be sure I'm not just pounding away... I want to be able to resize his NTFS partition to take up half the drive, then I want to have the rest be ext3 with like 2GB swap, and have the ext3 use an inode of 128.  If that can be done in GParted that'd be swell because I'm not experienced and don't want to mess anything up.
[15:55] <jamiejackson> is there a linuxy way to do that, burkmat, or do i have to look at the card specs?
[15:55] <ice_cream> so that it automounts on boot
[15:56] <sipior> InfectedWithDrew: this is what man pages are for :-) -m sets the reserve block percentage to zero, and -j creates a journal (otherwise you make an ext2 filesystem)
[15:56] <burkmat> jamiejackson, I'm not very experienced in the matter, but I suspect card specs may be the easiest way to check. :)
[15:57] <boot_loop> does anyone know if there is an application to open *.cue files in Ubuntu? I use Daemon tools in windows, but not sure what the equivalent would be. Also, it's for an installer that I will need to run through wine, so is there a way to do it through wine?
[15:57] <PeskyJ> does encfs support lock files?
[15:57] <InfectedWithDrew> I see.  Are you aware of GParted allowing you to choose your inode size?  Hell, I could just install Hardy, I heard it uses 128
[15:57] <oCean_> ice_cream: well, yes the 'auto' is default of course
[15:57] <odder> oups... how do I make my desktop visible again? I've got show_desktop in gconfd apps>nautilus>preferences marked
[15:57] <sipior> InfectedWithDrew: you'd have to consule the gparted docs. it should be possible to pass options to mkfs from gparted. does windows require the inode size for some reason?
[15:58] <KDB9000> sipior, ah, was confused for a second. plugdev yes, disk no
[15:58] <sipior> KDB9000: well, did you add yourself to disk?
[15:58] <InfectedWithDrew> sipior, it's the software for reading ext, the ext2 ifs.  There is another, clunkier software that has been updated for 256, but I'd rather use the former because it's much faster.
[15:59] <KDB9000> sipior, no.
[15:59] <ice_cream> ah, right, good point oCean_
[15:59] <ice_cream> i just have noauto all over the place, and i forgot about the default =D
[16:00] <ibuclaw> odder, just a small suggestion, but try logging out/back in again
[16:00] <alex_goanta_2012> can my computer  be fixed from the outside?
[16:00] <KDB9000> sipior, the only problem is, I can't test to see if that fixed the problem now
[16:00] <ibuclaw> alex_goanta_2012, you mean remote desktop ?
[16:01] <alex_goanta_2012> yeah
[16:01] <odder> ibuclaw: already done a few times
[16:01] <ikonia> alex_goanta_2012: what is the problem ?
[16:01] <InfectedWithDrew> sipior, I have to scram, thank you for the tips.  If I can't find a way to do it easily in GParted, I'll end up getting on via live session later.  Have a good one.
[16:01] <alex_goanta_2012> i don`t really know
[16:01] <odder> ibuclaw: and, additionally, I can't visit my home folder with nautilus and right-click doesn't work
[16:01] <ice_cream> alex_goanta_2012, are you still having trouble mounting that ntfs drive?
[16:01] <oCean_> alex_goanta_2012: we tried to let you mount the partition. Dit that work?
[16:01] <alex_goanta_2012> nope
[16:02] <ice_cream> output
[16:02] <alvin_3> sipior: they are on the same network yes
[16:02] <oCean_> alex_goanta_2012: what is the error you got?
[16:02] <ice_cream> alex_goanta_2012, post output on pastie.org  or other pastebin sites
[16:02] <alex_goanta_2012> how can i send you a screenshot/
[16:02] <ikonia> alex_goanta_2012: just tell us the problem
[16:02] <Team-Leader> อยากมีแฟน
[16:02] <sipior> alvin_3: and can you ping one host from the other? are there any firewall rules in operation on the target machine?
[16:03] <alex_goanta_2012> when i try to acces the partition it says unclean shutdown
[16:03] <ikonia> alex_goanta_2012: ok - so you have to boot into windows and run chkdisk on that partition
[16:03] <ikonia> alex_goanta_2012: windows has marked it as dirty so ubuntu won't mount it
[16:03] <oCean_> alex_goanta_2012: okay, that is know problem
[16:03] <alex_goanta_2012> how cai it be fixed?
[16:04] <oCean_> alex_goanta_2012: reuse same mount command I send, but add "-o force" at the end.
[16:04] <ikonia> alex_goanta_2012: boot into windows and run chkdisk on it
[16:04] <ikonia> oCean_: advising someone to mount a potentially corrupted file system with force is not a good idea
[16:04] <w0ls0n> hey guys quick question for ya
[16:04] <w0ls0n> I have to do mount /dev/sdb1 /backup and mount /dev/sdc1 /stuff manually
[16:04] <alex_goanta_2012> you mean i have to install windows again?:O
[16:04] <w0ls0n> how do I add them to /etc/fstab ... I can't figure out /etc/fstab
[16:04] <ikonia> w0ls0n: what can't you figure out ?
[16:04] <oCean_> ikonia: alex_goanta_2012: I think it's worth a shot, since I succeeded more than once
[16:05] <ikonia> oCean_: "worth a shot" we don't even know how important this data is
[16:05] <ikonia> oCean_: I appriciate what your saying but please consider the end user when offering solutions, you could potentially lose all his data
[16:05] <alex_goanta_2012> if i install windows i will not install linux again
[16:05] <ikonia> w0ls0n: what part is not clear
[16:05] <w0ls0n> it's not as clear as freebsd
[16:05] <ikonia> w0ls0n: what part is not clear ?
[16:06] <burkmat> alex_goanta_2012, To be fair, the issue here is that Windows flagged the disc and therefor Ubuntu doesn't want to break it by touching...
[16:06] <KDB9000> sipior, there is no disk group

[16:06] <alex_goanta_2012> it sucks
[16:06] <odder> it shows in my .xsession-erors
[16:06] <ice_cream> ?
[16:06] <Mean_Admin> last try: can an app send outgoing emails with default ubuntu configuration ?
[16:06] <n8tuserf> w0ls0n -> you do know that slices of BSD systems are slightly different from partitions of linux right?
[16:06] <burkmat> alex_goanta_2012, There are ways to do it in Ubuntu, but as ikonia pointed out: Risky and we don't even know what data is on there. Losing you all your work over the last decade would suck, so we're not keen to risk it.
[16:07] <w0ls0n> correct
[16:07] <w0ls0n> I know my mount pointsd

[16:07] <ice_cream> w0ls0n, you need to know the filesystem type now, and what options you want?  readonly? rw?
[16:07] <ikonia> w0ls0n: the format is $DEVICE $MOUNTPOINT $FILESYSTEM $OPTIONS $CHKOPTIONS
[16:07] <burkmat> alex_goanta_2012, Good luck.
[16:07] <Mean_Admin> thanks, porter1, savvas and Jeff_Martin for actually replying :)
[16:07] <w0ls0n> so
[16:08] <ikonia> w0ls0n: you just need device/mountpoint/filesystem - copy the options and chkoptions from someone else
[16:08] <ikonia> as in one of the disks
[16:08] <w0ls0n> /dev/sdb1 /backup ext2 defaults 0 0
[16:08] <ikonia> w0ls0n: there yo ugo
[16:08] <alex_goanta_2012> but if i will do that the partition will work with no problem
[16:08] <ikonia> there you go
[16:08] <alex_goanta_2012> in windows
[16:08] <w0ls0n> kk
[16:08] <w0ls0n> tyty
[16:08] <w0ls0n> ill write that down
[16:08] <Mean_Admin> anyone obvious place except iptables I should look when an app tells me it sent the mail all right but I didn't receive the mail ?
[16:09] <savvas> Mean_Admin: sendmail is a console application, you could use mozilla thunderbird or evolution mail and other applications if you set it up properly with smtp
[16:09] <Titan8990> eww sendmail....
[16:09] <ikonia> Mean_Admin: network (isp) blocking, see if the port (25) is open
[16:09] <_spm_Draget> I installed NIS and it works nicely when I start it maually. But after rebooting my loginmanaged does not find the users in my NIS. Once I manually start it, it works fine. I suspect my networkcard being setup too late... does anyone know how to solve this?
[16:10] <ikonia> Mean_Admin: it may also be sending the mail - but if you are on a home broadband/cable connection, most ISP's will black list you
[16:10] <Mean_Admin> savvas: it's more an app that sends automated mail (smartd) so I wouldn't think I need to install a mail app
[16:10] <boot_loop> Hey folks, I have EverQuest Titanium downloaded but I only have *.cue *.img, etc... files. I normally mount these files in Windows by using the Daemon Tools application. Is there a way to mount these through wine using a linux compatible cd-rom emulator?
[16:10] <Mean_Admin> ikonia: my iptables are clean and you'd think the isp would let outgoing mail :S
[16:10] <xxNickxx> can someone help me with network setting on a vmware virtual machine?
[16:10] <Titan8990> boot_loop, good chance you can just mount the .img, without additional tools
[16:10] <alex_goanta_2012> but if i will install windows  the partition will work with no problems?
[16:11] <ikonia> Mean_Admin: a lot of ISP's won't allow out going mail, and a lot of ISP's (your target) will black list you because you're on a home connection, so the mail will get black holed or bounced
[16:11] <boot_loop> Titan8990: okay, I'll give it a shot, thanks a lot
[16:11] <ikonia> xxNickxx: #vmware may be a good place to start
[16:11] <Mean_Admin> ikonia: would it work any better if I just used a different, maybe much higher port ?
[16:11] <ikonia> Mean_Admin: no
[16:11] <savvas> Mean_Admin: why would you set a home mail server?
[16:11] <xxNickxx> ikonia: i tired #vmware. no one is talking :)
[16:11] <Mean_Admin> savvas: I wouldn't!
[16:11] <ikonia> xxNickxx: wait patiently
[16:11] <sipior> KDB9000: by the way, have you looked here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G ?
[16:11] <oCean_> alex_goanta_2012: no guarantee.. Windows had marked it as 'bad', since it was not cleanly shutdown, meaning that the device might have been busy when windows shut down.
[16:12] <Mean_Admin> savvas: just trying to get an app to send email when hdd fails!
[16:12] <ikonia> Mean_Admin: you may want to tell your mta to use your isp smarthost
[16:12] <Mean_Admin> ikonia: merde, I've no idea what mta is and I've also no idea what my ips's smarthost is
[16:12] <alex_goanta_2012> can it be fixed from windows?
[16:12] <oCean_> alex_goanta_2012: how important is the data on that filesystem for you? I was told not to suggest the force option, because you might end up with a corrupted filesystem
[16:12] <burkmat> alex_goanta_2012, Windows can _try_ to fix it.
[16:12] <ikonia> Mean_Admin: swearing in french isn't acceptable either
[16:13] <alex_goanta_2012> ok
[16:13] <alex_goanta_2012> good by

[16:20] <arvind_khadri> !enter | DonaldShimoda
[16:20] <tonyyarusso> da_sharp: I'm not familiar with the Live CD, but if you don't make progress with that you could use the alternate Cd and nott use X at alll.
[16:21] <DonaldShimoda> but the build and get a kernel version 2.6.27.10 . any clue why?
[16:21] <da_sharp> tonyyarusso, Yes. But I'm worried , I'll have to spend time after install to get X working.
[16:21] <KDB9000> sipior, thx for the help. I have been putting this question out a lot and no one responds to it. it only seems to happen after i use it with my windows computer, but there should be a way to do a force mount automatically with the hard drive

[16:26] <looter> well i don't see any dividers and as i mentioned the only applet standing in its way is the network manager but it gives me no options when i right click it to unlock or move it.  its stuck.  and there appears to be nothing else in the way

[16:55] <Revage> monestri, i suppose so, not shure though :s
[16:55] <burkmat> PeskyJ, Gnome automounts by default iirc... At least it did for me until I demanded it ask for password.
[16:55] <sipior> PeskyJ: sorry? what auto-mounts?
[16:55] <monestri> Revage, gnome-mount doesn't offer much gui configuration

Currently my small company uses Dells X-Image utility to deploy OS Images to about 6 Different models. We create the base image, which is deployed via a PXE Server, Then It detects what model the system is, installs the correct cab files based on the model type, then runs Sysprep to finaliz
[16:58] <deathtech> e settings and what not. Currently, Dell Pretty much rapes us for using this utility, and we have to find an alternative solution if we are to survive as a company. The Only Thing i ahve found so far is something called G4U, but it doesnt appear that it will function at the level we need it to
[16:59] <Dr_willis> burkmat,  you could check the devcies UUID perhaps..   or check out the HAL config options to not use fstab.
[16:59] <Revage> monestry, isnt there just a way to prevent one single drive from beeing automounted?

[17:07] <Cotowar> oh, yea that should be supported. you should be able to go to add/remove and add the compiz settings manager
[17:07] <Dr_willis> AlfieH,  you did install the nvidia drivers?
[17:07] <AlfieH> i think so, how can i install again m8?
[17:07] <Dr_willis> !nvidia
[17:07] <AlfieH> just to double check
[17:08] <spsneo> I have installed apt-mirror for a local ubuntu repo. but I am not able to update. can anybody help me?
[17:08] <benste> why does gdm fail after last jaunty update?
[17:08] <tonyyarusso> benste: #ubuntu+1 for all jaunty discussion.
[17:08] <AlfieH> alfie@alfie-desktop:~$ lspci | grep VGA
[17:08] <AlfieH> 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G80 [GeForce 8800 GTX] (rev a2)
[17:08] <benste> thanks
[17:08] <_VI_> benste: same thing for me
[17:09] <Krooks> kitche: yeah, actually that what I want to know. if something is not stock, is there a site with experimental or customised debs that I can use ? Or my only choice is to install it from source. Also, if I were to install it from source, do I have to do make install or can I built a deb first after make so that its easy to unisntall later on.
[17:09] <dhruvasagar> Krooks: try www.getdeb.net
[17:09] <imri303> any GDM wizards out there?  I wanna launch nm-conection-editor from GDM at login via the customcommand feature in gdm.conf-custom but it errors out
[17:10] <Krooks> dhruvasagar: thanks. will check it out
[17:10] <kitche> Krooks: there is getdeb site you can use checkinstall to make a deb but I have never used checkinstall never really trusted it
[17:11] <AlfieH> any solutions?
[17:11] <Dr_willis> imri303,  i got xpenguins startging. :) i recall to get it to work. I had to use the 'simple' gdm login screen. not the  fancy gdm login screen
[17:11] <Cotowar> just so you know, i did have to re-install the GDM theme to get it to use the new image
[17:11] <Cotowar> it works fine now
[17:12] <dhruvasagar> Krooks: mention not :)
[17:12] <imri303> I have gdmlogin running not greeter and i can start the program via the Init/Default script but I wanna be able to launch it from the "Actions" menu
[17:12] <AlfieH> Did everyone see my previous message about the Nvidia?
[17:12] <Dr_willis> imri303,  here is my sampel confif --> http://allyourbasearebelongtous.pastebin.com/f5e3a7c61  if it helps..  I never got that actuion menu working either
[17:13] <Cotowar> heres another little pet peeve i have. how do i get the applications i have to use the icon set i have?
[17:13] <fabio_> Cotowar: use Human O2 icon set, very nice
[17:13] <Cotowar> like, my quick launch firefox is different than the icon on the firefox window
[17:13] <Cotowar> im using black_white_2
[17:13] <Cotowar> my whole computer is black with white text
[17:14] <imri303> the problem i have with running it via the Init/Default script is I can't change focus to it.  If I run it with just /usr/bin/nm-connection-editor it runs b4 the login screen pops up and the login screen won't execute until I hit close on the connection editor
[17:14] <Cotowar> easier on the eyes, which helped a lot when i did programming
[17:14] <Cotowar> but like i have this icon set, and i can't get the apps to use it in their windows, and in the panel for active windows
[17:14] <Cotowar> it only works in the apps menu
[17:15] <Cotowar> i think i have to configure each and every program individually, in which case i'll just do the ones i use like ff
[17:15] <Cotowar> does anyone else have that problem as well?
[17:16] <fabio_> Cotowar: not sure, my ico set is ok
[17:16] <imri303> thanks Dr_willis I will check it out
[17:16] <Dr_willis> imri303,  yea. when i login . i got little penguins running all over the gdm login screen.. silly but cute
[17:16] <Cotowar> like, in the apps menu, i can see my custom set, and on the top panel i can see them as well. its when i run apps that the defaults return
[17:17] <Cotowar> and i personally hate the defaults for the apps i use
[17:17] <Abracadabra> Hi
[17:17] <Abracadabra> simple question for you guys, but a headache for me for the past few hours
[17:17] <twordley> just patched intrepid this morning now i can no longer sudo.  I checked /etc/sudoers and /etc/group.  my user is in the proper groups and /etc/sudoers looks fine.  Any ideas?
[17:17] <Abracadabra> I need to know what the version of rrdtool I have in the apt-get repository
[17:17] <fabio_> Cotowar: try with a different icon set...
[17:18] <Abracadabra> can someone tell me how to find out please ?
[17:18] <Cotowar> 1 sec, im on gnome look getting a new one
[17:18] <mlissner> Anyone else have the problem in Compiz with mouse scrolling switching the screen randomly?
[17:19] <vigo> Abracadabra: <name of object> -v,,,I think
[17:19] <Cotowar> just found an icon theme updater
[17:19] <imri303> so Dr_willis you have your penguins running as a background program?
[17:19] <Cotowar> maybe this will help
[17:19] <Finnish_> How do I choose 8-bit colours in Gimp?
[17:19] <Dr_willis> imri303,  yep  xpenguins
[17:19] <Dr_willis> !info xpenguins
[17:19] <vigo> I want the penguins!
[17:20] <imri303> hmmm interesting.  Is it just and X program?  I will try to launch from there and see what happens :) tnx
[17:20] <Abracadabra> vigo: if thwe app is not yet installed, how would you find out ?
[17:20] <fabio_> Cotowar: post a screenshot around
[17:20] <imri303> Abracadabra dpkg -l | grep program name
[17:20] <Dr_willis> imri303,  yep. look for xpenguins in that config. and change it to whatever
[17:20] <Cotowar> 1 sec, ill photobooth my desktop with arrows to what im talking about
[17:21] <imri303> or just dpkg -l program name if you know exactly what you are looking for
[17:21] <vigo> Abracadabra: Check Synaptic, search for it. Then you will see what version and other info there is on it.
[17:22] <mlissner> Nobody else has the random screen switching problem?
[17:22] <imri303> or do what vigo says silly gui users :)
[17:22] <Abracadabra> imri303: thank you, that was exactly what I was looking for
[17:22] <Abracadabra> thank you all

[17:31] <rubberducky> hi, can anyone have a look at my problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1069910
[17:32] <Cotowar> i wont accept that answer. there HAS to be a way to change it. otherwise we are slaves to the system like Windows users
[17:32] <Cotowar> except we are goonier and cooler
[17:32] <Schuyler> Cotowar: I just upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid, and when I try to use the NetworkManager applet to connect to a wireless network, I get a dbus(?) error on the console
[17:32] <allquixotic> Does anyone know of a howto guide (unofficial or not, doesn't matter) for running an OpenSolaris 10.0 or later guest on its i86xpv (paravirt-ops enabled) architecture, using Intrepid's built-in KVM and virt-install?

[17:33] <ikonia> infomomo: the OS that came with your EEE PC ?
[17:33] <Cotowar> my window uses default, but my apps menu uses a custom
[17:33] <Schuyler> ikonia: it looks like they are, from grepping ps awux
[17:33] <Dr_willis> the menus dont get the icon info from the program  at all.. they get the info from the theme.. You sould have to make a custiome icon them i imagone Cotowar

[17:33] <zagabar> Yo
[17:34] <spexi> yo
[17:34] <spexi> sup
[17:34] <zagabar> I have a game that doesn't react to the keyboard in ubuntu. :S
[17:34] <allquixotic> infomomo: there are tons of alternatives. if you want minimal CPU usage without extensive tuning, you would likely have to accept certain feature deductions. Try running DSL-Not. It's a very lightweight distro that runs in a tiny amount of RAM and everything is very fast. But is it as featureful as Gnome? No, and no.
[17:34] <jamiejackson> after some finagling, i finally got dual monitor going through "Monitor resolution settings" however, the external monitor flashes at me @60Hz, which is unbearable. the "Monitor Resolution Settings" gui has a refresh rate selector, but it only shows 60Hz, and I'm sure this monitor goes higher. know how to fix that up?
[17:34] <infomomo> ikonia: it is an ApireOne
[17:34] <zagabar> It does for other people.
[17:34] <imri303> infomomo try ubuntu netbook remix
[17:34] <zagabar> What can be wrong?
[17:34] <Cotowar> yea, i have one, but how do i install it them
[17:34] <Cotowar> then*
[17:34] <imri303> I have been playing with it for a couple weeks and UNR is cool
[17:34] <fabio_> Cotowar: find that icon
[17:34] <infomomo> imri303: that's what i just installed in vmware to test and it seems to be a CPU hog
[17:34] <imri303> hmmm
[17:35] <Dr_willis> Cotowar,  drag/drop to the theme manager control-panel window in many cases... to isntall new themes..
[17:35] <Cotowar> i know where its at
[17:35] <imri303> are you using the one with the lpia kernel?
[17:35] <Cotowar> and i did that to install the theme
[17:35] <Cotowar> but all my apps still use defaults when they open

[17:35] <infomomo> that one brother
[17:35] <G-Farkas> Hello, have anybody "nvidia-glx" in the Hardy repos ???
[17:35] <allquixotic> infomomo: Comparing speeds of operating systems natively and within a virtual machine like VMware is misguided.
[17:35] <xxcue> 8GB memory and vmware workstation no problems here
[17:35] <Schuyler> ikonia: I seem to have fixed it with 'apt-get remove --purge network-manager' and then 'apt-get install network-manager-gnome'
[17:35] <imri303> didn't like the lpia one either so I installed ubuntu i386 and added the UNR repo and added it on top with session launchers
[17:35] <Cotowar> i have this archive, i dropped into theme manager and boom all my desktop icons went to the custom set
[17:35] <fabio_> Cotowar: i think the trouble is /usr/share/pixmaps
[17:35] <allquixotic> infomomo: VMware imposes an extremely high amount of overhead in terms of RAM usage, CPU consumption, and disk I/O speed. In other words, VMware is dog slow.
[17:35] <PeskyJ> ok, I don't like ecryptfs - it leaves filenames plaintext and it magically automounts - god knows where it gets my password from, sneaky little git
[17:35] <infomomo> allquixotic:  iknow but it gives a little idea right ?
[17:36] <Dr_willis> gnome-look.org proberly has tutorials on making new icon themes.   the apps will use the icons they are programd to use.. You would need to change the theme icon to be the same as the program app icon I imagine. I tend to disable all the icons I can. :) so thats about all i kmnow on the topic
[17:36] <Cotowar> ill look
[17:36] <fabio_> you have to change that link
[17:36] <ikonia> Schuyler: re-linked ito dbus
[17:36] <Cotowar> alright
[17:36] <zagabar> i am trying to play a game in ubuntu that should work, but the keyboard doesn't make the game react. What can be wrong?
[17:36] <imri303> allquixotic very true
[17:36] <infomomo> does one of you guys own a aspire one >? and if so, what do your recommend ?
[17:36] <PeskyJ> and encfs doesn't seem to work with programs like evolution that want to create file locks... is there anything else?
[17:36] <Cotowar> ill look at gnome look some more, and in the pixmaps
[17:36] <allquixotic> infomomo: Trying to say "if VMware makes it this slow, it can't be much better on real hardware" is a fatally flawed assertion. VMware gives an __enormous__ performance hit. If you are planning to install the operating system natively, make no attempts to evaluate its native performance on the basis of virtualized performance.
[17:36] <imri303> I have many netbooks the aspire one being one of those :)
[17:36] <twordley> infomomo: i can't sudo to run the command you suggested
[17:36] <fabio_> just make it point to the new icon set location
[17:37] <imri303> I run ubuntu i386 with UNR launchers
[17:37] <Cotowar> fabio, you are right
[17:37] <Cotowar> thank you sir
[17:37] <fabio_> it's a little bug indeed
[17:37] <Cotowar> do i change them simply by deleting the photo and copying my new one in?
[17:37] <fabio_> icons SHOULD change
[17:38] <infomomo> twordley: try it without sudo then
[17:38] <allquixotic> infomomo: In VMware it once took me four hours to install OpenSolaris 10.0, yet it installed in 12 minutes running it natively. The entire install, the VMware process was pegging my CPU as viewed by top on the host. So yes - you aren't getting any meaningful data on native performance from VMware.
[17:38] <Dr_willis> infomomo,  i just use the normal  ubuntu on mine. i do tweak it following the wiki pages
[17:38] <infomomo> or log in as root, simple :D
[17:38] <L|nuxPS2_> imri303: of all the netbooks you own which is your favorite - i'm looking at getting one soon
[17:38] <imri303> infomomo try this page as well it is for the mini9 but works for the acer as well http://www.ubuntumini.com/2008/10/installing-ubuntu-netbook-remix.html
[17:38] <twordley> infomomo: how would i login as root?  you mean recovery console?
[17:38] <infomomo> Dr_willis: problem was WIFI, that is why i had tendencies towards an alternative
[17:38] <imri303> I like the lenovo ideapad s10e the best so far
[17:39] <Cotowar> how would i make it point to the new location? just make the pixmaps folder a shortcut to my new sets folder?
[17:39] <allquixotic> !root | infomomo, twordley
[17:39] <imri303> I have played with the mini9, lenovo s10e. and the acer aspireone
[17:39] <infomomo> ubottu:  his sudo doesnt function well
[17:39] <allquixotic> twordley: Why can you not use sudo?

[17:40] <Cotowar> fabio, how do i make the /usr/share/pixmaps point to the new icon set?
[17:40] <allquixotic> twordley: Do you get an error message? Also, are you able to login with *the same password you try to sudo with* as your regular user, from e.g. the gdm login screen?
[17:40] <quibbler> !logs
[17:40] <xxcue> i just installed ubuntu virtual to learn alittle command line stuff not looking for anything great ..i gave ubuntu 3 gb memory and 2 cores seems to work ok

[17:41] <twordley> allquixotic:  i can login to the text console with my regular user/password.  I cannot howerver login to gdm either.
[17:41] <DonaldShimoda> hi.
[17:41] <fabio_> Cotowar: right
[17:42] <allquixotic> twordley: If you can't login to gdm as your regular user/password, then something might be screwed up in the authentication subsystem. I'd point at PAM as a possibility.
[17:42] <Cotowar> how do i do it though?
[17:42] <DonaldShimoda> im dont get how to modify the config file ala debian, according to that web https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile, cofnig files are in debian/config/i386/.

[17:42] <VaSy> how do i register my nick name

[17:43] <VaSy> thanks ubottu
[17:43] <fabio_> /usr/share/pixmaps  --> /home/fabio/.icons/Human-O2/48x48/apps
[17:43] <allquixotic> twordley: /etc/pam.d/common-auth is one possibility, but I think, if you are using a standard version of Ubuntu, you should not even encounter this sort of issue. Unless you have custom software that plays with PAM.
[17:44] <fabio_> Cotowar: keep the old folder, just create a link to your application icon folder (ln -s ....)
[17:44] <allquixotic> twordley: If you have never set your root password before using `passwd root`, and you can't sudo, then rebooting Ubuntu into the option in the boot menu that says (recovery console) at the end will let you get a root shell and make configuration changes, at least.
[17:44] <allquixotic> twordley: So you're not "stuck without ability to login as root" - hopefully - if recovery works properly.
[17:45] <enthused> is there anyone in here with experience successfully preseeding an install where the preseed file is hosted on a network?

[17:50] <Mba7eth> does any one knows how to unlock Huawei E180 HSPA usb modem ?
[17:50] <fabio_> just make a backup copy

[17:51] <imri303> Dr_willis I tried executing nm editor as a background program and it works :) thanks! Still would like to make it launch via the Actions menu :(

[17:52] <allquixotic> Mba7eth: That topic is possibly illegal in some jurisdictions, and even if it's legal, that has absolutely nothing to do with the operating system installed on your computer (e.g. Ubuntu).

[17:53] <dgetsman> anybody know if I can run ubuntu 8.04LTS server on a machine w/IBM 00P2731 2 Way 1.2Ghz Power4+ Processor for 7028-6C4 6E4 RS/600 PSERIES 630 and whether that'd be a 32 or 64 bit version?
[17:54] <Cotowar> it says that my old icons are links to a different folder when i look at the properties
[17:54] <Cotowar> what the heck
[17:54] <EugenMayer> what is generaly used as VNC client or simply remote desktop between to different ubuntu clients
[17:54] <quibbler> !who | Cotowar
[17:54] <allquixotic> dgetsman: IBM has invested a lot of resources into supporting their hardware on Linux, so I would wager that it would probably boot... as for the 32/64... I really have no idea. Let me do some googling? Maybe you can help me?
[17:55] <Scunizi> Strange .. a desktop background that I created and have been using for some time will no longer display as the background.. why would that happen?
[17:55] <Cotowar> fabio, it says that the original images in the pixmaps folder are linking to a different folder where the real icon is, though i can't seem to find that folder
[17:56] <allquixotic> dgetsman: My initial investigation indicates that your "Power4+" processor is of the PowerPC genre. That means it's neither x86 nor x86_64; its architecture on Linux is called ppc
[17:56] <allquixotic> dgetsman: I don't know if ppc even _has_ 32 vs. 64-bit.
[17:56] <jcase> ok, i loose my network everynight while using screen lock. I also have ipv6 tunnel and a bridge to virtual box, there are not related errors in /var/log/messages

[17:59] <jcase> i found simular reports on google

[17:59] <jcase> or i can ssh in while out of town
[17:59] <Caplain1> jcase: screen lock? hmmm
[17:59] <Caplain1> sounds bizzare
[18:00] <Caplain1> does it only happen at night?

[18:03] <mrglinux> i've be in another channel o f ubuntu
[18:03] <Caplain1> jcase: it could still be relevant. you may have to find an alternative to locking your screen until the bug is resolved
[18:03] <allquixotic> cumulus007: In 2005 I read a case study where it costs $1.50 USD per 700MB CD image download, due to the cost of bandwidth... the server is probably at or near capacity, so it's busy.
[18:03] <jcase> hrm

[18:04] <cumulus007> allquixotic: okay
[18:04] <mrglinux> i just like them
[18:04] <allquixotic> cumulus007: It would cost at least another $5000 to $15,000 USD per year for another unmetered 100MBPS connection to support more simultaneously CD image downloads, or faster ones.

[18:07] <etko_> after update last week ago acer extensa 5221, ubuntu 8.04.2 hardy
[18:07] <mac9416> Caplain1: Broad suggestion, but thanks for your time.
[18:07] <etko_> correction acer extensa 5220
[18:07] <allquixotic> cumulus007: I don't honestly know, but according to http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ it would appear there are no .torrent files, so I would surmise not
[18:07] <Caplain1> mac9416: look for a template
[18:07] <mikewu> mac9416: Try looking at the source/forums for pypanel
[18:08] <allquixotic> cumulus007: Perhaps one reason is that if you're generating a new image *every single day*, any given node swarm on a torrent with a lifetime of less than a day is not going to have many seeders, so the server ends up doing all the work anyway
[18:08] <allquixotic> cumulus007: Torrents get healthy over time, not in the short turnaround time of <= 24 hours
[18:08] <mac9416> mikewu: pypanel. Right. Thanks.
[18:08] <cumulus007> allquixotic: yeah, I understand that
[18:08] <ozzloy> sudo dhclient eth0; shows that the machine tries to connect, but gets no response.  this exact hardware was connecting last night.  how do i trouble shoot from here?
[18:09] <quibbler> egc: look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=784272
[18:09] <allquixotic> cumulus007: I do believe cdimage is a round robin server that parcels out the workload to official mirrors, but it could very well be that all the mirrors are overloaded too, since Free Software in general is so popular these days, and it's almost always serviced via download (including updates)
[18:09] <mkro> Hi
[18:09] <ozzloy> nevermind, it appears to be connecting now
[18:10] <mac9416> mikewu: It looks like pypanel is a replacement for gnome-panel. I'm looking for a way to develop a tray applet for gnome-panel.
[18:10] <Cotowar> where might this directory be "../../lib/firefox-3.0.6/icons"
[18:10] <mkro> Hi, i need help,,, somebody speak spanish?
[18:10] <Pici> !es | mkro
[18:10] <egc> quibbler: yeah, i see the same error msg when running that cmd, thanks
[18:10] <etko_> nobody to help me?
[18:11] <nanotube> Cotowar: depends on where you starting from. :) possibly under /usr/lib
[18:11] <mikewu> mac9416: Try looking at this http://www.pygtk.org/articles/applets_arturogf/
[18:11] <Cotowar> thats it
[18:11] <allquixotic> Cotowar: That's a relative path so it's impossible to infer its absolute path without knowledge of the current working directory; however, there is a /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.6 directory, so /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.6/../../lib/firefox-3.0.6/icons would be equivalent to the absolute path /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.6/icons
[18:11] <Cotowar> yea, it doesn't say any more than that, so i wasn't sure
[18:11] <Cotowar> thats though
[18:11] <Cotowar> thanks*
[18:11] <Matic> Hi, someone remind me the command used to check the size of a folder
[18:12] <Matic> please

[18:14] <nanotube> Jfdzar: yo
[18:14] <etko_> can you tell me why?
[18:15] <egc> quibbler: it appears to be policykit related
[18:15] <Cotowar> when i want to use the mv command, i do mv filename destination correct
[18:15] <etko_> should i recompile madwifi package like tehy say here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/madwifi-tools/+bug/242080 ?
[18:15] <etko_> please somebody i need to get this working
[18:15] <jhg> is there any way to perform a clean reinstall of wine? i basically need the C drive wiped, i uninstalled and reinstalled wine but the data is still there
[18:15] <quibbler> egc: i hope you know something about policykit..i don't
[18:16] <mac9416> mikewu: Looks like that's getting close. Thanks!
[18:16] <etko_> i also disapled ipv6 cause it was doing me errors on my network
[18:16] <kitche> jhg: delete the ~/.wine directory and have wine the command recreate it
[18:16] <terminhell> did  you hit the radio button on your laptop?
[18:16] <egc> quibbler: i may have to learn ;)
[18:16] <allquixotic> Cotowar: `man mv`. But very simply stated, mv is a combination of a 'rename' and a 'move' command in one, and all arguments except for the last one are moved into the last argument, if it's a folder. Careful, though; if the last argument is an existing file, it gets overwritten.
[18:16] <etko_> could that be the cause
[18:16] <etko_> ?
[18:16] <quibbler> egc: ;-)
[18:16] <egc> quibbler: im still on hardy so maybe its fixed in newer release
[18:16] <egc> oh well
[18:16] <jhg> kitche: i did that also but in applications->wine the directory structure is still there so it seems it caches that somewhere.. any idea where?
[18:16] <etko_> great
[18:16] <int256> what is ubuntu studio ?
[18:17] <Cotowar> jhg, did you try removing wine completely through synaptic? completely removing deletes the config files
[18:17] <egc> commando line i go
[18:17] <terminhell> etko_: what does iwconfig show about your wireless
[18:17] <Mr_Mackee> whats the easy way to add lines to sources.list?
[18:17] <kitche> jhg: in ~/.wine
[18:17] <Dr_willis> removing wine - will NOT remove the .wine dirs in the users homes...
[18:17] <allquixotic> cotowar: If you're a newbie to using `mv`, you should always execute `mv -i` to have the system prompt you if the result of your command will overwrite any files
[18:17] <etko_> terminhell : nothing only eth0 an lo are listed
[18:17] <quibbler> egc: i'm also on hardy and i have not experienced that
[18:17] <kitche> jhg: it won't reset the menu until you log off and back on
[18:17] <terminhell> etko_: ya sounds like drivers
[18:17] <etko_> besides when i cling in network connections to edit adapter ptoperties
[18:18] <egc> quibbler: oh :(
[18:18] <samlesher> anyone have a mce remote and ir receiver for sale for sub $30?
[18:18] <tritium> samlesher: stay on topic, please
[18:18] <samlesher> oops, wrong channel
[18:18] <etko_> i can set ip and dhcp but it gives me error on eth0 that adapter doesn't exist

[18:19] <terminhell> etko_: and is your kernel up to date?
[18:20] <presshere> hi VaSy
[18:21] <etko_> could it be caused by disblind ipv6?
[18:21] <abchirk> What can I use to convert pdf into html?
[18:22] <etko_> terminhell : how cen i get info whether my kernel is up to date?
[18:22] <etko_> i used automatic updates and everything stopped working
[18:22] <terminhell> uname -a
[18:22] <etko_> maybe kernel got newer there was restart terminhell after update
[18:23] <terminhell> etko_: its at 2.6.27-11 is what i currently have
[18:23] <presshere> abchirk: what kind of information you need to convert?
[18:23] <etko_> terminhell : Linux 2.6.24-23-generic
[18:24] <abchirk> presshere all inside that with pics etc...
[18:24] <terminhell> etko_: are you using intrepid or something older??/
[18:24] <nanotube> abchirk: there is "pdftohtml"...
[18:24] <etko_> terminhell : just rebuilding atheros drivers using this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/madwifi-tools/+bug/242080 will help me?
[18:25] <abchirk> ok thats what I found too.. but thats 0,32version. :(
[18:25] <abchirk> ok maybe I ll give it try.
[18:25] <etko_> terminhell : i use default install, what is intrepid some package manager?
[18:25] <jcase> does screenlock automaticly put ubuntu8.10 to sleep after so long?
[18:25] <L|nuxPS2_> jcase: shouldn't

[18:28] <Matic> cumulus007, yeah
[18:28] <Matic> fabio_, just explain to me why
[18:28] <cumulus007> Matic: intrepid contains newer software
[18:29] <L|nuxPS2_> cumulus007: the GaTech one should have it I think
[18:29] <fabio_> Matic: i0m with jaunty now
[18:29] <_ope_> ok even when i do a chown 777 on my .pl script i still get access denied when i try to execute it
[18:29] <Matic> cumulus007, ok interms of flexibility and mangeability
[18:29] <nanotube> Matic: if you are happy with hardy, stay with it. there's no "should"
[18:29] <terminhell> your using chown wrong
[18:29] <terminhell> you need chmod
[18:29] <L|nuxPS2_> _ope_: do chown +x
[18:30] <L|nuxPS2_> chmod*
[18:30] <_ope_> ok sorry slackware guy here
[18:30] <terminhell> you just said that file now belongs to the user "777"
[18:30] <_ope_> chown usually works
[18:30] <cumulus007> L|nuxPS2_: that does only contain repos
[18:30] <cumulus007> I'm looking for ISO's
[18:30] <nanotube> _ope_: not possible... chown and chmod are standard linux commands, one changes owner, one changes permissions. i think you just mixed them up. :)
[18:31] <Pici> !jaunty | cumulus007
[18:31] <cumulus007> cdimages is terribly slow

[18:36] <ozzloy> this machine connected just fine a couple minutes ago.  the hardware is exactly the same.
[18:36] <CarlFK1> I have a script that unmounts the partitions on a drive and then does "sfdisk -R" which causes ubuntu to see partitions and mount them - how can I stop that?
[18:36] <terminhell> ctrl+D closes it right?
[18:36] <mikewu> terminhell: if there is a command it executes it
[18:36] <mikewu> terminhell: but if the line is blank, then yes it logs out
[18:37] <terminhell> maybe its a keybinding conflict then
[18:38] <mukiex1> Does anyone know how to download "repacked" packages?
[18:38] <mukiex1> e.g. where can I find them?
[18:38] <mukiex1> Do I just add a specific line in apt, or do I need to go somewhere for it?
[18:38] <terminhell> repacked?
[18:39] <mukiex1> Example: http://tinyurl.com/dbxvto
[18:39] <L|nuxPS2_> well im out - peace
[18:39] <slo> anyone know how to properly install postfix? i'm having all kinds of errors :<
[18:40] <mukiex1> Any clue, terminhell? =3
[18:40] <Pici> mukiex1: Thats a Jaunty package, its not available for Intrepid.
[18:40] <terminhell> mukiex1: im not exactly sure what you mean b y repacked
[18:41] <terminhell> mukiex1: maybe install from source instead
[18:41] <mukiex1> Oh, I guess it's just broken in Intrepid.
[18:41] <mukiex1> Is that ever getting fixed?
[18:41] <terminhell> oh, pici explained it :p
[18:41] <mukiex1> I mean the 1 or 2 packages that are broken every Ubuntu release.
[18:42] <mukiex1> I've yet to see a release that hasn't broken a package I use >_<
[18:42] <terminhell> only fix for those is time, or your own know-how
[18:42] <Pici> mukiex1: If they aren't fixed in backports then you'll need to wait until the next release.
[18:42] <empiric> hi all do any one knows any good document management system in opensource
[18:43] <empiric> ?
[18:43] <terminhell> oppenoffice?
[18:43] <Bobber> empiric explain in what way you are trying to manage your documents
[18:43] <empiric> no no
[18:43] <terminhell> OH
[18:43] <Pici> !nickspam > lucas_aprendubun
[18:43] <terminhell> like F-Spot, but for txt files?
[18:44] <Nicador> Hello. I have an Ubuntu Server 8.10 Intrepid. I want to disable the feature that closes my monitor after a while of inactivity. I tried searching on the forums( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1074563 ) and on Google, but with no luck. Can you please help me ?
[18:44] <empiric> like i up load my docs and user can only read on web based panel
[18:44] <etko_> terminhell : how can i update the kernel?
[18:44] <ozzloy> can i please get some networking troubleshooting help?
[18:44] <etko_> should i do it?
[18:44] <empiric> i can asign and manage users
[18:44] <empiric> my docs as well
[18:44] <terminhell> etko_: well, its recomended, as long as its not like a server and wont interupt others
[18:44] <B10S> when will this be fixed: http://wiki.cihar.com/pma/ubuntu
[18:45] <Bobber> Nicador This graphical interface to managing power is available from System -> Preferences and Power Management
[18:45] <ogre> I need help with my webcam. 2 days already messing with this. I have Chicony USB 2.0 Camera on intrepid ibex x64. anyone know how I can finally fix this?
[18:45] <Nicador> Bobber: I don't have a GUI, it's a server.
[18:45] <quibbler> empiric: google docs
[18:45] <Pici> B10S: Is there a bug filed for that prblem?
[18:45] <B10S> Pici: im not sure
[18:45] <terminhell> etko_: just run a 'sudo apt-get update' then apt-get install updates
[18:46] <Pici> B10S: That would be the first step in getting it fixed.
[18:46] <empiric> no no i need my intranet web site
[18:46] <LogicFan> is there a way to manually set the position of gnome panels?  no matter how i drag them around or lock them (by right-clicking) they always get reset whenever i logout or reboot
[18:46] <terminhell> LogicFan: use gconf tool
[18:47] <Slart> Nicador: I think there are two things that do that... either it's software, like a screensaver, or it's a setting either in BIOS or in the monitor itself
[18:47] <LogicFan> terminhell, is that not installed by default?
[18:48] <terminhell> LogicFan: actually i think its not for some reason
[18:48] <terminhell> but nothing a quick apt-get install gconf wont fix
[18:48] <Slart> Nicador: I don't know how to config the powersavings settings on a server but I would start searching in /etc ... perhaps acpi
[18:48] <LogicFan> yeah, installing now
[18:48] <LogicFan> thanks
[18:48] <jcase> can anyone suggest an alternative to screenlock until i can fix my issue ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/331697 )
[18:49] <terminhell> logging out...
[18:49] <terminhell> but not the most efficient way
[18:49] <empiric> quibler
[18:49] <jcase> dont want to log out
[18:49] <terminhell> i know
[18:49] <Slart> jcase: it's not some kind of hibernation/sleep issue?
[18:49] <terminhell> im lookn at the post
[18:49] <jcase> Slart idk
[18:49] <jcase> possibly
[18:49] <empiric> how about joomla and drupal
[18:49] <jcase> im new to ubuntu
[18:50] <jcase> about 2 days into it
[18:50] <terminhell> ya it sounds like
[18:50] <jcase> 2 nights in a row i screen locked to keep a 3yr old who wakes up at night from messing with it
[18:50] <null__> what does OE/Angstrom use for -mabi  ??
[18:50] <terminhell> you have it set to also go into either suspend or hibernate
[18:50] <jcase> he like computers
[18:50] <Slart> jcase: I would look for powersaving stuff in BIOS.. and also in system, preferences, power management
[18:50] <terminhell> i know my box suspends after about an hour, it will disable network interfaces and audio
[18:51] <mikewu> jcase: xscreensaver and xautolock
[18:51] <jcase> term does it bring network and audio back up?
[18:51] <etko_> terminhell i found on forums to issue lsmod | grep ath
[18:51] <terminhell> go into > system>preferences>apperance>screensaver>power settings
[18:51] <jcase> well network? i havent gotten speakers so i dont know if it brought audio back
[18:51] <jcase> yah im in power settings now
[18:51] <terminhell> jcase: it SHOULD after a few moments
[18:51] <Slart> jcase: I think putting the computer to sleep would fit your description.. also many computers are weird when it comes to sleep mode.. not waking up properly.. network messed up.. graphics messed up etc
[18:51] <etko_> and line ath_pci reads 101024 0
[18:51] <jcase> putting to sleep is set to never
[18:52] <marcboy> irc://irc.wild-bytes.org:6667/wild-bytes
[18:52] <jcase> in power managerment
[18:52] <etko_> terminhell : this means driver is disabled?
[18:52] <marcboy> woops
[18:52] <terminhell> etko_: mk
[18:52] <etko_> mk?
[18:52] <terminhell> etko_: ..eh, hmm
[18:53] <etko_> how can i enable it?
[18:53] <terminhell> jcase: you may also wanna set the screen to never turn off, and make sure that both "ON AC/battery power settings are the same just incase
[18:53] <jcase> ok i set screen to never go to sleep
[18:53] <terminhell> etko_: like i said, you m ay have to actually reboot, or probe it
[18:53] <etko_> even lspci -v says it's disabled
[18:53] <jcase> where is ac/battery settings? (this is a desktop btw)
[18:53] <etko_> hw can i probe it?
[18:54] <etko_> i actually rebooted?
[18:54] <terminhell> do you see the device in lspci?
[18:54] <king> hi
[18:55] <LogicFan> terminhell, hrm, not sure what settings i'm looking for in gconf.  i just want to lock the current gnome panel position so it'll be remembered when i logout or reboot
[18:55] <lunix> Hi people!! I would like to use my linux machine as a network bridge between the wireless and my little LAN. Now its a xp computer doing it.. Is this a easy task?
[18:55] <etko_> terminhell : yes i see it it says atheros is disabled
[18:56] <king> No Linux networking is NOT easy
[18:56] <ly> Hey all anyone knoledgeable about wine?
[18:56] <etko_> king : openbsd was easy for me
[18:56] <terminhell> LogicFan: its very similar to windows registry, in terms of navigation. i believe you'll find it under Applications/gnome/desktop/panel or something...you can try CTRL+F to search for "panel"
[18:56] <etko_> king setup networking i mean
[18:56] <terminhell> etko_: is there a device name (eth1/wlan0) given to it?
[18:56] <ly> I think I broke WINE and can't repair it...
[18:57] <erUSUL> empiric: http://www.alfresco.com/ http://www.openkm.com/
[18:57] <terminhell> drank it all eh?
[18:57] <terminhell> lol jk,
[18:57] <ly> :P
[18:57] <Slart> lunix: if you can get the wireless network stuff working setting up a bridge wouldn't be that hard
[18:58] <etko_> terminhell : how can i see that lspci -v doesn't show such things
[18:58] <Gnea> ly: tried resetting it?
[18:58] <jimisrvrox> hey guys im using ubuntu and im trying to watch a flash vid that is extension x-flv and vlc will tell me that it does not support 'undf' I think I dont have my machine in front of me but is there any way that I can fix that issue?
[18:58] <terminhell> does it show up in either ifocnfig or iwconfig?
[18:58] <ly> not sure I can live with crossover and cedega
[18:58] <Gnea> ly: o.O oh, thought you meant wine-wine
[18:59] <gnu2it2> Hi, I'm looking for an app that will traverse and grab the  source for a web site
[18:59] <Gnea> ly: not good to mislead, please state your exact problem, please.
[18:59] <fixxxermet> I have a 6.06 box with php 5.1.2, which is the latest that apt is letting me update to.   How can I update to a newer version of php, without having to upgrade to a newer release of ubuntu?
[18:59] <lunix> Slart: The wireless modem works as a breeze. Took less time and was even easier to set up than in windows! God job ubuntu ;)
[18:59] <terminhell> fixxxermet: install from source
[18:59] <cumulus007> lunix: great
[18:59] <cumulus007> lunix: and now.. spell Linux right
[18:59] <ly> well i'm sure drinking wine led to my breaking WINE
[18:59] <cumulus007> it's not lunix ?!? :P
[18:59] <lunix> :)
[19:00] <terminhell> contrary to popular belief, no
[19:00] <fixxxermet> terminhell: I was thinking maybe use a package from 8.04 or 8.10?
[19:00] <lunix> lunatic + linux
[19:00] <lunix> :p
[19:00] <terminhell> fixxxermet: you could try, but you may have header issues
[19:00] <terminhell> assuming the kernel isnt up to date either
[19:01] <fixxxermet> I see
[19:01] <B10S> how long should i set no-ip to update
[19:01] <ly> wow crossover is pretty bad...
[19:01] <erUSUL> fixxxermet: backports¿? or compiling from source
[19:01] <ly> despite the gui
[19:01] <B10S> will it slow things down if i set it to 1 minute?
[19:01] <king> Hi
[19:01] <node357> yeah ly, crossover games didn't help me much
[19:02] <erUSUL> fixxxermet: you know you can upgrade from LTS to LTS directly. eg you can do 6.06LTS --> 8.04LTS in one go
[19:02] <ly> I guess I had grown used to WINE
[19:02] <zicho> if i get the error "amixer: Unable to find simple control 'Master',0" when i run the command "amixer -c 1 -- sset Master,0 playback 80%", what could be the problem?
[19:02] <ly> Has to be a way to repair
[19:02] <ly> don't want to re-install my whole os....
[19:02] <ly> again
[19:03] <erUSUL> !enter | ly
[19:03] <terminhell> just do a complete removal
[19:03] <terminhell> ly
[19:03] <node357> ly, if it were me, I'd rm -rf ~/.wine and start installing games again :)
[19:03]  * erUSUL nods
[19:03] <node357> that of course removes all your personal settings for WINE
[19:03] <node357> and programs
[19:03] <terminhell> its absurd to reinstall the whole OS over a lil spilled wine]
[19:04] <Jerusalem420> shalom
[19:04] <erUSUL> !hi | Jerusalem420
[19:04] <mr_daniel> does anyone tried to install maven2 (more exact it is version 2.0.9-2) on ubuntu ibex? there are so many dependencies, which forces me to install about 120 MB new software
[19:04] <mr_daniel> but on the homepage of maven http://maven.apache.org/ the tool is just about 1.6 MB big
[19:04] <Jerusalem420> i'm trying to set up a linksys router, but when i unplug the network cable from my modem and stick it in the router, i can't get no satisfaction
[19:04] <ly> sorry enter is a bad habbit.  I've purged WINE tons of times I re-install it won't launch anything
[19:04] <mr_daniel> so I dont understand the huge difference?
[19:05] <mr_daniel> and just for the case: yes, I already installed java 6
[19:05] <Jerusalem420> no network connection is available
[19:05] <Jerusalem420> i point the browser at 192.168.1.1
[19:05] <erUSUL> mr_daniel: yep but it needs a lot of java infrastructure; doesn't it?
[19:05] <fx3> hi, im having a problem setting up a server in a windows environment. i called it 'userver' but i cant access it with that name, only with ip address.
[19:05] <Svendo> Awesome! "Based on the concept of a project object model (POM)"
[19:06] <mr_daniel> erUSUL: I just wonder why those packages are so big
[19:06] <erUSUL> mr_daniel: dunno
[19:06] <kitche> mr_daniel: the tool might be 1.6 mb but the other programs are 19 MBs
[19:06] <ly> Perhaps I should build from source?
[19:06] <mr_daniel> my first guess was that there is a failure in package dependencies, and that synaptic want install a new JRE except of OpenJDK
[19:06] <terminhell> brb guys
[19:07] <erUSUL> mr_daniel: also by default ibex will install recommended packages too
[19:07] <mr_daniel> 19MBs? all together is about 120 MB! this is huge!
[19:07] <mr_daniel> just to make a 1.6 MB program run
[19:07] <erUSUL> mr_daniel: ibex apt's
[19:07] <egc> if i want the pine mail reader, should i install alpine package?
[19:07] <mr_daniel> what is gcj? a JRE?
[19:07] <kitche> mr_daniel: so blame the authors of maxon then for having so many dependencies for a 1.6 mb program
[19:08] <kitche> mr_daniel: gcj is gnu jre
[19:08] <erUSUL> mr_daniel: yep;
[19:08] <LogicFan> terminhell, hrm, everything is set properly for positions, i dont know if there is a separate key i should be looking it
[19:08] <Pupeno_> Hello.
[19:08] <Svendo> Any chance proftpd will be compiled with mod_tls by default in 8.04 or 8.10 ibex ?
[19:08] <LogicFan> they are set to locked
[19:08] <mr_daniel> ok, there is a problem with dependencies!
[19:08] <Pupeno_> What program do you use to extract a CD to mp3 or ogg?
[19:08] <mr_daniel> I have already installed a wokring JRE, I do not need gcj!
[19:08] <ly> Anyone know the WINE IRC channel?
[19:08] <terminhell> LogicFan: is your home dir set to RO?
[19:08] <erUSUL> ly: #winehq
[19:08] <kitche> mr_daniel: so compile maxon yourself then if you want to use your JRE intead of the one that ubuntu used to compile maxon
[19:09] <oCean_> Jerusalem420: pinging the 192.168.1.1 address also fails?
[19:09] <Pupeno_> Something easy, that my wife can use? it used to be there and easy to use.
[19:09] <LogicFan> terminhell, sorry, i dont know what that is?
[19:09] <ly> thanks erUSUL
[19:09] <terminhell> read only
[19:09] <mikewu> Pupeno_: try http://www.howtoforge.com/convert_songs_to_mp3_ogg_with_k3b
[19:10] <Svendo> No developers who can answer why proftpd is not compiled with mod_tls for as now ?
[19:10] <Pupeno_> mikewu: there used to be a very simple Ubuntu (not Kubuntu) program for that.
[19:10] <taz_white95> On ubuntu 8.10 how can you mount a UDF Valume
[19:10] <kwsn> does anyone know what it means when both the caps lock and scroll lock lights are flashing?
[19:10] <mikewu> Pupeno_: sound_juicer maybe? that's the default in ubuntu
[19:11] <LogicFan> terminhell, no, not set to read only
[19:11] <Svendo> kwsn: no graphics card i guess...
[19:11] <kitche> Svendo: probably because they did not use tls for the encryption but this isn't the channel to ask that question really the -dev channel is really
[19:11] <kwsn> Svendo: uh... this is a laptop
[19:11] <kwsn> and I know it has a graphics card
[19:11] <terminhell> LogicFan: it says your username and has read & write selected? Hmm interesting
[19:11] <Nicador> Hello. I have an Ubuntu Server 8.10 Intrepid. I want to disable the feature that closes my monitor after a while of inactivity. I tried searching on the forums( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1074563 ) and on Google, but with no luck. Can you please help me ?

[19:11] <kwsn> erUSUL: oh >_<
[19:11] <kwsn> no, it rebooted fine
[19:12] <Svendo> kitche: thx
[19:12] <LogicFan> folder access: create and delete files

[19:13] <Pupeno_> mikewu: it's not part of the ubuntu-desktop anymore :/
[19:13] <drago> ?: anyone know a way to set up a ping to work silently & notify me when I lose internet?
[19:13] <oCean_> Nicador: join #ubuntu-server. Ask there
[19:13] <AgentArmstrong> anyone in here installed e17 from cvs on a ppc?
[19:13] <Slart> drago: yes.. ping www.google.se || aplay ohno.wav
[19:13] <mikewu> Pupeno_: sudo apt-get install sound-juicer
[19:13] <signpost> do Feisty mirrors exist anymore?  I'm trying to upgrade an old server to 8.10
[19:14] <kwsn> erUSUL: there's nothing in there to give any idea what happened
[19:14] <a_> Есть кто русскоязычный?
[19:14] <erUSUL> kwsn: :!
[19:14] <Slart> signpost: there is a repository for older releases... can never remember the name though

[19:14] <erUSUL> !ru | a_
[19:14] <oCean_> !feisty | signpost
[19:15] <kitche> oCean_: doesn't really help him though he's asking for the old-releases repo line for apt.conf sicne he's trying to upgrade
[19:15] <kwsn> erUSUL: the only thing before the restart line is a line that says "-- MARK --"
[19:15] <drago> Slart: thx for reply, but it didn't work.  i think maybe i have sound issues sometimes with my vmware.  any way to make that notification visual?
[19:15] <erUSUL> kwsn: that's normal
[19:16] <oCean_> kitche: yes, but in !upgrade is the link
[19:16] <erUSUL> drago: use "zenity" instead of aplay
[19:16] <Slart> drago: here's a script I run every minute or so.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/120244/
[19:16] <kwsn> erUSUL: do you know what caused it then?
[19:16] <enthused> is there anyone in here with experience successfully preseeding an install where the preseed file is hosted on a network?
[19:16] <erUSUL> kwsn: no; without error msgs or any other info i can not even guess
[19:17] <kwsn> erUSUL: where would I be able to find them?
[19:17] <Slart> drago: you could do anything instead of "aplay".. send an email.. or wait.. scratch that.. guess there has to be a way to throw up an ugly message box on screen
[19:17] <AgentArmstrong> anyone in here installed e17 from cvs on a ppc?
[19:18] <quassel251__> just a quick question
[19:18] <quassel251__> what is the command to run to know why a packet is held back ?
[19:18] <erUSUL> Slart: drago i already pointed out zenity
[19:18] <drago> cool thx I'm looking up how to use it now
[19:19] <erUSUL> drago: Slart zenity --error --text="Connection Interrupted"
[19:19] <Slart> erUSUL: ah.. looks very nifty
[19:19] <jcase> Slart would ubuntu make a note in any log why my network went down
[19:19] <Rencx> How can i mount mdf, or mds files?
[19:19] <signpost> Slart, thanks, it was old-releases.ubuntu.com
[19:19] <jcase> or when?
[19:20] <Slart> signpost: that's the one.. perhaps I should write it down =)
[19:20] <twordley> allquixotic:  thanks for pointing me in the right direction
[19:20] <Slart> jcase: depends on if it knows the reason.. if a secret black ops submarine cuts a underwater cable I doubt you'll get that information in the syslog =)
[19:21] <jcase> its not the netowkr itself
[19:21] <jcase> its networking in ubuntu
[19:21] <jcase> other box's with differnt OSs dont loose it
[19:21] <Slart> jcase: if something crashes/segfaults it will show up in the logs
[19:21] <jcase> can you point me to the right log
[19:21] <jcase> its not in /var/log/messages
[19:22] <Slart> jcase: /var/log/syslog is the system log, /var/log/kern.log is kernel log.. lots of logs in /var/log but those are the most commonly used
[19:22] <drago> erUSUL Slart: looks cool, but didn't work.  zenity cmd works, and ping works, not sure I'm using that || correctly
[19:22] <KDesk> hi
[19:22] <drago> ping www.google.se || zenity --error --text="Connection Interrupted"
[19:22] <jcase> damn syslog doesnt go back to this morning
[19:22] <KDesk> I would like to use ext4 in intrepid, how can I do that?

[19:23] <jelly12gen> KDesk  look at the live installe?
[19:23] <Slart> drago: you have to stop ping.. use ping -c 2 www.google.se
[19:23] <Slart> drago: a normal ping just goes on forever I think
[19:24] <KDesk> jelly12gen: the liveCD? it doesn't has that option, or is it hidden?
[19:24] <KDesk> Can I use the jaunty kernel?
[19:24] <jcase> nothing in the kern.log

[19:24] <janwari> is it possible to reinstall X windows in ubuntu 8.10?? I seemed to have messed it up. I tried doing apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, apt-get install gdm, apt-get install xserver-xorg and then dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but still when i run startx it says "Waiting for X server to begin connection"
[19:24] <imri303> anyone have any experience with the customcommand function in gdm?
[19:24] <sebastian> how do i mount a ntfs partition?
[19:24] <drago> Slart: so in order to notify only when the ping fails, we need something else?
[19:25] <Slart> !ntfs | sebastian
[19:25] <jelly12gen> sebastian: install ntfs-3g driver
[19:25] <jcase> ok let me open them up
[19:25] <Slart> drago: nope.. ping -c 2 www.google.se || zenity bla bla bla should work
[19:25] <jelly12gen> sebastian just google for howto's
[19:25] <imri303> sebastian do you have ntfs-3g installed?
[19:26] <sebastian> imri303: yes i do
[19:26] <imri303> usually you can use the -t to declare partition type in the mount command
[19:26] <SuperMoopies> I'm getting "Unable to save bookmarks in /home/n/.kde/share/apps/d3lphin/bookmarks.xml. Reported error was: Permission denied. This error message will only be shown once. The cause of the error needs to be fixed as quickly as possible, which is most likely a full hard drive."
[19:26] <SuperMoopies> As soon as I close Dolphin
[19:26] <fx3> drago, just have that line run in a loop
[19:26] <imri303> mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdx /path/to/mount/point
[19:27] <erUSUL> Slart: it does not... ping -c 2 does not end with any error msg (does not return  a non 0) so the logic fails
[19:27] <janwari> Gnea: ping
[19:27] <Nicador> oCean_: Nobody is answering...
[19:27] <imri303> sebastian it won't automount from within nautilus?
[19:28] <Slart> erUSUL: it does for me.. if the ping fails, that is
[19:28] <Yud_Zroc> how do i solve an "Error 15"
[19:28] <imri303> Yud_Zroc grub error 15?
[19:28] <kitche>  Yud_Zroc for what Error 15 can be for anything
[19:28] <drago> oh wait, maybe i wasn't waiting long enough for it to give an error code: "     If ping does not receive any reply packets at all it will exit with code
[19:28] <drago>      1.  On error it exits with code 2. Otherwise it exits with code 0. This
[19:28] <drago>      makes it possible to use the exit code to see if a host is alive or not.
[19:28] <drago> "
[19:28] <Yud_Zroc> no
[19:28] <FloodBot1> drago: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:28] <Yud_Zroc> error 15
[19:28] <drago> ok, sorry
[19:28] <Yud_Zroc> i failed a installation cuase of a currupt cd
[19:28] <erUSUL> Slart: yep if the ping fails... but it does not fail if you do ping -c 2 www.google.com ;P
[19:29] <sebastian> imri303: nope, ubuntu is installed within windows, its same partition but the windows folders wont comeup
[19:29] <Slart> erUSUL: hehe.. if your network connection works, that is =)
[19:29] <janwari> is it possible to reinstall X windows in ubuntu 8.10?? I seemed to have messed it up. I tried doing apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, apt-get install gdm, apt-get install xserver-xorg and then dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but still when i run startx it says "Waiting for X server to begin connection"
[19:29] <jcase> Slart any idea what i should be looking for?
[19:30] <fx3> drago, if you ping -c 1 -t 5 <host> and then count up the exit status while looping you will be able to see when the host is down
[19:30] <Yud_Zroc> anyone know how to solve that error without DBAN (cause dban aint working)
[19:30] <imri303> sebastian what so you mean within windows? I am pretty sure they can't be on the same partition :)
[19:30] <Slart> jcase: try searching for "error" "segfault" "crash".. there are many error messages
[19:30] <Slart> sebastian: you're using wubi?
[19:30] <sebastian> imri303: i mounted the iso file in windows, and i choose the option install in windows
[19:31] <jcase> thx
[19:31] <Yud_Zroc> anyone?
[19:31] <Tcl> You are not privileged to mount this volume.
[19:31] <kitche> Yud_Zroc: I suggest to reburn the cd md5sum the iso to make sure it's good and then retry and please be patience some of us are in more then one channel
[19:31] <sebastian> slart: wubi?
[19:31] <Tcl> any 1 ? is on my home pc
[19:32] <Tcl> You are not privileged to mount this volume.
[19:32] <Tcl> how i can mount a hdd ?
[19:32] <kitche> Tcl: try sudo before you mount so do sudo mount
[19:32] <Slart> sebastian: ubuntu installed inside windows.. sounds like wubi
[19:32] <Slart> !wubi
[19:32] <sebastian> imri303: i think i got it working i just need to restart
[19:32] <Yud_Zroc> kitche: dont work...made a new cd with another downlaod on top of trying 5 other bootable cd's
[19:32] <imri303> sebastian kk
[19:32] <billybigrigger> anyone here using hp's mini theme on a desktop?
[19:33] <KDesk> If I install a 64bit system, will I get any advantage being a normal desktop user? Something will be faster?
[19:33] <edpotts39> dcc
[19:33] <Yud_Zroc> KDesk: only if u have 4+ gig ram
[19:33] <edpotts39> DCC CHAT darkchaos
[19:33] <fx3> KDesk, you will have the advantage of being able to stuff more RAM in your machine
[19:34] <Slart> KDesk: not that you'd notice, no
[19:34] <Tcl> how i can change permision to that hdd ?
[19:34] <billybigrigger> why run 32bit os on a 64bit capable machine?
[19:34] <billybigrigger> if you have the hardware use it
[19:34] <edpotts39> DCC CHAT darkchaos
[19:35] <edpotts39> DCC CHAT Darkcha0s
[19:35] <Slart> KDesk: go with 32 bit... you'll be running with the big herd.. things will be smoother and so on.. use 64 bit when you make a new install of ubuntu 11.04 or something =)
[19:35] <Pici> edpotts39: Please stop.
[19:35] <kitche> billybigrigger: compat issues mainly and there is not much of an advantage to x86_64 if you have less then 4 gigs of ram
[19:35] <fx3> edpotts39, what are you trying to acheve ?
[19:36] <Tcl> sudo mount what ? kitche
[19:36] <KDesk> thnkas for the answers. I have read that the amd64 build has sse2 and other optimizacions, With them I will not notice any thing faster?
[19:36] <janwari> is it possible to reinstall X windows in ubuntu 8.10?? I seemed to have messed it up. I tried doing apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, apt-get install gdm, apt-get install xserver-xorg and then dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but still when i run startx it says "Waiting for X server to begin connection"
[19:36] <Tcl> i am trying to open from panel /Places
[19:36] <billybigrigger> KDesk, if you have the hardware, run amd64
[19:36] <Slart> KDesk: I run both.. I've tried both on the same machine.. I doubt I would be able to tell if I was running 32bit or 64bit
[19:37] <zicho> if i get the error "amixer: Unable to find simple control 'Master',0" when i run the command "amixer -c 1 -- sset Master,0 playback 80%", what could be the problem?
[19:37] <KDesk> Ok, thanks everyone!
[19:38]  * G69 boa tarde!
[19:38] <Tcl> any1 knows why i cant open my other media ?from panel/places ?
[19:40] <Gnea> janwari: pong
[19:40] <Daft_Punk> since upgrading to intrepid, certain icons in my systray such as xchat and wireless icons are no longer having transparent backgrounds, they appear white and clash with my background color, how can i fix this? i use trayer and have tried using stalonetray and neither fix the issue. icons such as amsn and amarok have transparent backgrounds.
[19:40] <PatrickMelo> KDesk, if u can run amd64, there is no "big difference" but for things such convert mp3 to ogg or other multimedia stuff it will be a little faster
[19:41] <c0p3rn1c> I'm missing part of the screen when I use my tv-out, I'm using nvidia-settings
[19:41] <KDesk> PatrickMelo: does the amd64 use more ram? I have read that.
[19:41] <racecar56> lulz
[19:43] <PatrickMelo> KDesk: any 64-bit system can recognize more ram, for information, a 32-bit system can only use 4gb of ram, it's a limitation of the processor, but amd64 does not have this limitation, if you have more than 4gb of ram or qnat to do somethings that you really use you processor you should go amd64
[19:44] <plazia_> how do you remove window decorations on a window? say like i have an xterm open showing some info but I want rid of the title bar and window border (on that window only) how would I do this?
[19:44] <danfg> how do i find out which configure options were used to compile ubuntu's php?
[19:44] <KDesk> PatrickMelo: ok, thanks for the info :)
[19:44] <PatrickMelo> KDesk: you're welcome
[19:45] <plazia_> danfg, doesn't php-config give some info?
[19:45] <danfg> usually i can do a php -i to find out, but ubuntu's php doesn't give out that information, i don't know why
[19:45] <Tcl> You are not privileged to mount this volume.
[19:45] <PatrickMelo> plazia_: the easiest way would be kill you window manager, but it would remove window decoration for all the opened windows
[19:45] <Tcl> any1 knows why i cant open my other media ?from panel/places ?
[19:45] <danfg> plazia_: it usually has a "Configure commands" line in it, but not ubuntu's php5
[19:45] <plazia_> danfg, not sure then mate.
[19:45] <plazia_> sorry
[19:45] <danfg> oh well
[19:45] <plazia_> PatrickMelo, yeah I only want rid of the decorations on this one window
[19:45] <danfg> np
[19:45] <plazia_> I'm sure there used to be a way to do it
[19:46] <plazia_> danfg,  php-config didn't show the info you were after?
[19:46] <danfg> plazia_: i used php -i, let me look into this php-config u talk about brb
[19:46] <squarebracket> where's the startup log kept? i saw something about my ntfs drive but it disappeared too quickly
[19:47] <plazia_> squarebracket, I think most logs are in /var/log
[19:47] <plazia_> squarebracket, /var/log/messages and such
[19:47] <Slart> squarebracket: dmesg will show you some of the startup messages
[19:47] <plazia_> or you can type "dmesg"
[19:47] <danfg> plazia_: php-config is a pear library for config file management
[19:47] <squarebracket> plazia_, i tried ls | xargs cat | grep ntfs and it didn't show me what i wanted
[19:47] <squarebracket> dmesg!
[19:48] <squarebracket> crud that didn't tell me either
[19:49] <noon> how can I debug my totem? it stopped working, no videos will play. it acts like its going to load but freezes
[19:50] <Swish> is it just me or did the installer/partitioner break on ubuntu 8.04.2LTS when it comes to installing an LVM ontop of a software RAID1 array
[19:51] <Swish> I remember doing this properly in 6.06LTS
[19:51] <Swish> maybe the "guided partitioning" is all that's broken and it can still be done manually?
[19:51] <etko_> hello guys i have problem with wifi
[19:51] <etko_> i tried to recompile latest madwifi drivers
[19:52] <etko_> compilation goess fine
[19:52] <etko_> but when i am loading driver i get
[19:52] <squarebracket> can fsck check ntfs?
[19:52] <Slart> Swish: you're using the alternate install, right?
[19:52] <Slart> squarebracket: nope
[19:52] <etko_> esrror unknown symbol in module
[19:52] <Swish> Slart, just the standard -server-i386.iso
[19:52] <etko_> could it be that my kernel is not the newes?
[19:52] <racecar56> hey if anyone wants to help me with my server join #ubuntu-server
[19:52] <malibu> Hi there.. I just installed awesome on Ubuntu-8.10 server... But I think I'm still missing some graphical stuff.. Does anyone know what I need to install to bridge the gap?
[19:53] <squarebracket> Slart, is there something that can?
[19:53] <Speedy059> What is the proper way to SSH into a Ubuntu server? Isn't it the same as CentOS with port 22?
[19:53] <racecar56> malibu: ubuntu server dosent come with GUI
[19:53] <racecar56> and its pretty useless on a server
[19:53] <Slart> Swish: ok.. that might work too.. I'm just not sure if the desktop install can do installs to lvm..
[19:53] <Slart> squarebracket: windows? =)
[19:53] <malibu> racecar56: Yeah but I can install everything can I not?
[19:54] <squarebracket> Slart, i can't boot windows, that's the problem. now it just restarts :(
[19:54] <Swish> Slart, it's the server install :)  But anyway, I did not try setting up LVM manually.  It may still work
[19:54] <Slart> squarebracket: I don't think there is anything that can check a ntfs volume in linux
[19:54] <racecar56> maiibu: you might be able to, but please notice ubuntu server is for servers, you have it on a server right?
[19:54] <jcase> is there a way i can see what time my network dropped?
[19:54] <squarebracket> i need windows for my maxmsp class :(
[19:54] <jcase> sometime between 10pm and 8:30am
[19:54] <malibu> racecar56: I thought ubuntu server was just ubuntu without the GUI stuff
[19:54] <jcase> but i cant find it in any logs
[19:55] <malibu> racecar56: IE. why install Gnome if I'm just using awesome?
[19:55] <racecar56> malibu: it shure isnt
[19:55] <racecar56> malibu: alternate install disk is for no GUI on PC
[19:55] <racecar56> malibu: server edition is for servers
[19:55] <joshjtl> hey folks, my monitor can do the res of 1280x1024, but in settings I can only change to 1280x800, do I need to change this in xorg.conf?
[19:55] <racecar56> idk
[19:56] <malibu> racecar56: Ah so I want the alternate install disk + awesome
[19:56] <racecar56> malibu: yes
[19:56] <cybliss> joshjtl: what video card do you have?
[19:56] <malibu> racecar56: k, thanks
[19:56] <racecar56> malibu: just make sure you tell it commmand lien mode
[19:56] <racecar56> *line
[19:56] <Tcl> any1 knows why i cant open my other media ?from panel/places ?
[19:56] <Tcl> You are not privileged to mount this volume.
[19:56] <racecar56> Tcl: its called sudo
[19:56] <joshjtl> cybliss: I dont even know... its an old system
[19:56] <malibu> racecar56: tell the install I want commandline mode, you mean/
[19:56] <racecar56> Tcl: just do sudo mount ......
[19:56] <malibu> ?
[19:56] <fx3> Tcl, what kind of a volume is it? cdrom? hdd?
[19:57] <Tcl> i am clicking it m8 not typeing
[19:57] <cybliss> joshjtl: ah ok
[19:57] <racecar56> malibu: its a menu choice
[19:57] <Tcl> hdd
[19:57] <malibu> racecar56: K.. never done the alt disk before.  thanks
[19:57] <cybliss> joshjtl: yea /etc/X11/xorg.conf will be the place to make the res changes
[19:57] <Guest22784> hello, I've run into a "following packages have been kept back" message when i tried to do "apt-get upgrade", although the GUI update manager updated the packages just fine. can anyone tell me why i couldn't upgrade in the terminal?
[19:57] <Tcl> sudo mount hdd ?
[19:57] <Swish> Guest22784, if you wanted to upgrade everything you'd need to do an "apt-get dist-upgrade"
[19:57] <joshjtl> cybliss: how would I go about setting that, because I dont see resolutions in xorg.conf at all
[19:58] <Swish> Guest22784, that would upgrade your linux kernel and other packages so.. just be careful it's what you want :)
[19:58] <Swish> (read about the difference between upgrade and dist-upgrade)
[19:58] <cybliss> !x11 | joshjtl
[19:58] <fx3> Tcl, i dont know, you will have to look in the logs, can you open terminal and type some commands in ?
[19:58] <Guest22784> Swish, i see, let me try that on another computer, 'cause it had the same problem.
[19:58] <Tcl> yes fx3
[19:58] <monkey2> is anyone familiar with the JMicron onboard raid controller that comes with the asus motherboard? I setup my raid array, but when installing linux I still see 5 drives as opposed to 1 drive...do i need to install separate drivers to support this, or have i setup my onboard raid incorrectly, any ideas? thanks in advance.
[19:58] <cybliss> !x11 > joshjtl
[19:58] <Guest22784> Swish, i dont' think there were that important, the packages are "libstreamanalyzer0 libstreams0“
[19:59] <Slart> !fakeraid | monkey2
[19:59] <fx3> Tcl, do you know the path of the hardrive your trying to mount? something like /dev/sda2 ?
[19:59] <monkey2> Slart: thanks
[19:59] <Guest22784> Swish, yep. that solved it. thanks!
[20:00] <Swish> welcome!
[20:00] <Artissimo> Hello all, I'm having a bit of trouble installing the BCM4312 drivers in Ubuntu 8.04
[20:01] <Artissimo> Ubuntu recognized the device and used a proprietary driver but it didn't seem to activate properly
[20:01] <Nicador> oCean_: Nobody is answering...
[20:01] <Nicador> Hello. I have an Ubuntu Server 8.10 Intrepid. I want to disable the feature that closes my monitor after a while of inactivity. I tried searching on the forums( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1074563 ) and on Google, but with no luck. Can you please help me ?
[20:02] <Artissimo> Anyone instaled these drivers?
[20:03] <AdyTcl> fx3 sorry
[20:04] <Danyo> hi can someone help me with a problem i'm having?
[20:04] <AdyTcl> /dev/sdb5
[20:04] <AdyTcl> fx3 :/dev/sdb5
[20:04] <rubix> !version
[20:05] <fx3> AdyTcl, so type these two commands in: sudo mkdir /media/disk5; sudo mount /dev/sdb5 /media/disk5
[20:05] <Swish> hrmph.  lsb_release, eh.  no catting of /etc/issue?! :D
[20:05] <Swish> what happened to standardization!
[20:06] <Danyo> I put in user and password and then I just get a peach screen
[20:06] <bewst1> I have two md RAID arrays.  mdadm says one has state "active" and the other state "clean".  What's the meaning of this difference?
[20:06] <xxcue> any good command line books?
[20:07] <AdyTcl> nope no such a file or directory
[20:07] <Huufarted> Anybody here familiar with rsync?  I have an smb mount to a WindowsXP box and I want to use rsync from ubuntu to grab a directory on the xp box and sync it to the laptop on a FAT32 partition.  When I attempt any subsequent rsyncs, it attempts to resync ALL files instead of an incremental backup.  I'm using 'rsync -av' for the command.
[20:07] <AdyTcl> infstab is a line llike that
[20:07] <AdyTcl> in fstab is a line llike that
[20:07] <Artissimo> Has anyone in here been able to install bcm43?
[20:08] <yorky501> has anyone here tried the Xbox Media centre in linux?? if so any good???
[20:08] <alien> how do I make to show all web pages with 150% zoom by default on ubuntu firefox?
[20:08] <ikonia> yorky501: xbox media center ?
[20:08] <ikonia> yorky501: that's not a linux product
[20:08] <yorky501> yeah
[20:09] <ikonia> yorky501: what are you talking about ?
[20:09] <terminhell> alien: hold down Ctrl+scroll wheel
[20:09] <ikonia> yorky501: this channel is for ubuntu related support issues
[20:09] <yorky501> just wondering if anyone had installed it
[20:10] <terminhell> alien: or just go under the page/view properties
[20:10] <ewj1976> yorky501: just google ubuntu xbmc and you'll get plenty or results
[20:10] <alien> themolester, that does not make it to be default
[20:10] <Artissimo> Fuck, is there a good tutorial on getting BCM wireless cards to work?
[20:10] <ikonia> Artissimo: control your language please
[20:10] <ikonia> yorky501: xbox media center is not a linux produt
[20:10] <Artissimo> I'm pissed off.
[20:10] <ewj1976> ikonia: what do you mean? I've installed it lots of times.
[20:10] <Huufarted> Artissimo, you might be, but please watch your language.
[20:11] <alexander_> Holaaaa
[20:11] <jrib> Aragon: tried system -> administration -> hardware drivers ?
[20:11] <ikonia> ewj1976: xbmc does not say it's called "Xbox media center" I assume you mean xbmc
[20:11] <alien> Terminator, i can do that on every page, but it is pain in the neck to adjust every page i go to , want it to be a default setting
[20:11] <jcase> does pulseaudio normally die when coming out of sleep?
[20:11] <jrib> Aragon: erm, that was meant for someone else
[20:11] <alien> I mean terminhell :)
[20:11] <Danyo> any ideas on why i get stuck on peach screen after user name and pass?
[20:11] <jrib> Danyo: does it happen with a freshly created user?
[20:12] <Huufarted> Danyo, got any panel bars at the top or bottom?
[20:12] <jcase> i think my networking and pulse audio are both dying when the box comes out of sleep mode
[20:12] <Danyo> i just installed Ubuntu
[20:12] <Huufarted> Danyo, did you install Intrepid?
[20:12] <AdyTcl> if i:) how i add a new hdd ?
[20:12] <Huufarted> AdyTcl, say what?
[20:12] <terminhell> alien: see if you can find it in firefox by going inot about:config
[20:12] <Danyo> no i have not
[20:12] <AdyTcl> how i add a new add ?
[20:12] <diffred> Please I need help. How do I "extract" a .daa file?
[20:12] <terminhell> *into
[20:12] <Huufarted> Danyo, which version of Ubuntu?
[20:13] <Nicador> God, this blank screen if no activity drives me crazy.
[20:13] <jrib> Artissimo: tried system -> administration -> hardware drivers ?
[20:13] <Danyo> 8.10 latest release
[20:13] <Artissimo> Yes, it's listed there and activated
[20:13] <AdyTcl> how i install a new HDD
[20:13] <Huufarted> Danyo, 8.10 is Intrepid Ibex aka Intrepid
[20:13] <Artissimo> But when I right click on the network icon, I don't see my wifi networks
[20:13] <AdyTcl> sorry HDDD*
[20:13] <jrib> !who | Danyo
[20:13] <Huufarted> Danyo, it's simply referred to as intrepid, just FYI
[20:14] <yorky501> i think powerISO will convert .daa files
[20:14] <ewj1976> Artissimo: it would be a left click
[20:14] <Huufarted> Danyo, so you get no panels or bars or anything?  Just a peach screen?
[20:14] <Yud_Zroc> anyone, how do u use ubuntu to crack fort nox
[20:14] <terminhell> Artissimo: can you get any results using iwlist?
[20:14] <jrib> Artissimo: iirc you need to reboot after installing it
[20:14] <Danyo> huufarted, thank you and no just peach screen
[20:14] <jrib> Yud_Zroc: do you have a serious question about ubuntu support?
[20:14] <Huufarted> Artissimo, dual booting XP and Ubuntu by chance?
[20:14] <Artissimo> Ok, I see the networks
[20:14] <ewj1976> jrib: you can kill and restart nm-applet and that works.
[20:15] <fx3> Yud_Zroc, send them a logic bomb through their trap door
[20:15] <Huufarted> Artissimo, ignore my last question
[20:15] <alien> terminhell, works, thanks!
[20:15] <jrib> ewj1976: k
[20:15] <Artissimo> But with the proprietary drivers, I can't use aircrack can I?
[20:15] <diffred> Please I need help. How do I "extract" a .daa file? It is supposed to contain books. I want the books (.pdf or whatever) in a folder in my HD. I don't want ISO files of any kind because I don't know how to deal with them lol
[20:15] <Danyo> huufarted: this is after user name and then pass. I am dual booting as well
[20:15] <Rencx> How can i mount mdf, or mds files? And which one of them i must mount?
[20:15] <etko_> okay
[20:15] <Yud_Zroc> accully yes i hear t6hat there is a program out that can crack 64 bit wireless networks....any tips
[20:15] <ikonia> Artissimo: why do you want to use aircrack ?
[20:15] <jrib> !mount | Rencx
[20:15] <terminhell> np
[20:15] <DIFH-iceroot> Rencx: convert them to iso and then mount them mdf2iso
[20:15] <jrib> ugh
[20:15] <yorky501> diffred: just burn the ISO to a cd
[20:15] <etko_> hey guys it there a way to update ubuntu 8.04 to Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10) ?
[20:15] <Artissimo> ikonia: I am on a netbook and I would like WiFi where ever I go
[20:15] <ikonia> Artissimo: so why do you need aircrack to do that ?
[20:16] <jrib> !iso | Rencx
[20:16] <DIFH-iceroot> !upgrade | etko_
[20:16] <Artissimo> ikonia: Most networks near me are password protected
[20:16] <diffred> yorky501: but I don't want a cd :S, I want to extract the .daa like a tarball so I get a folder with files
[20:16] <ikonia> Artissimo: that's illegal cracking them
[20:16] <ikonia> Artissimo: please don't ask for support for it again
[20:16] <Artissimo> ikonia: Is there a channel for that then?
[20:16] <ikonia> Artissimo: no - it's illegal
[20:16] <terminhell> brb
[20:17] <ewj1976> Rencx:
[20:17] <cshock> can someone tell me how to install nvidia drivers on debian lenny
[20:17] <ewj1976> Rencx: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-do-i-open-daa-direct-access-archive-files-under-linux-or-unix-oses/
[20:17] <Pici> cshock: Ask in #debian, this is #ubuntu
[20:17] <islan> cshock: might try apt-cache search nvidia
[20:17] <Yud_Zroc> is there an irc channel for ubuntu dev?
[20:17] <DIFH-iceroot> cshock: #debian
[20:17] <cshock> no one answered
[20:18] <p3ngu1n> what's a good alternative to iTunes as far as buying music on ubuntu?
[20:18] <Pici> cshock: And yet its still not on topic for #ubuntu
[20:18] <plazia_> songbird
[20:18] <Rencx> DIFH-iceroot: how i can convert mdf to iso?
[20:18] <ewj1976> p3ngu1n: you could try songbird
[20:18] <DIFH-iceroot> Rencx: mdf2iso
[20:18] <p3ngu1n> thanks.
[20:19] <jrib> Rencx: did you read what ubottu sent you?
[20:19] <Daft_Punk> since upgrading to intrepid, certain icons in my systray such as xchat and wireless icons are no longer having transparent backgrounds, they appear white and clash with my background color, how can i fix this? i use trayer and have tried using stalonetray and neither fix the issue. icons such as amsn and amarok have transparent backgrounds.
[20:19] <Yud_Zroc> for the samsung juke (or any windows media player mp3 player per chance) what program will sync music to them
[20:19] <Danyo> Someone help. Just installed Intrepid to dual boot with xp and after user name and pass i get a peach screen and that's it
[20:20] <ewj1976> Daft_Punk: sometimes certain themes don't play nice. Have you tried a different gtk theme? Restarted gnome-panel?
[20:20] <Yud_Zroc> Danyo: did you try rollback/recover from grub
[20:20] <Rencx> jrib: yes, does it works with mdf also?
[20:20] <terminhell> Danyo: also try changing your session type from gnome to failsafe and see if that changes anything
[20:20] <ifroog> Question, Is there a gnome app similar to klipper?
[20:21] <Pici> ifroog: glipper
[20:21] <Danyo> terminhellp and Yud_Zroc I tried going through the safe mode but that didn't help
[20:21] <ifroog> haa ! :D
[20:21] <ardchoille> ifroog: parcellite
[20:21] <Daft_Punk> ewj1976, i dont use gnome-panel for the systray, and its not my theme i have changed themes and rebooted many times
[20:21] <ifroog> Pici, Tx
[20:21] <jrib> Rencx: the link he gave you tells you how to convert
[20:21] <plazia_> What's the canonical method of changing the grub boot menu entries? Is there an Ubuntu GTK-based config tool or do I just edit the grub menu.lst file by hand?
[20:22] <Yud_Zroc> edit it by hand
[20:22] <terminhell> at the gdm maybe try loging in the old fashioned way
[20:22] <terminhell> ctrl+alt+F1
[20:22] <geirha> plazia_: startupmanager
[20:22] <ewj1976> Daft_Punk: what do you use? I was having a similar problem using lxpanel when using openbox.
[20:22] <terminhell> you wont have x started
[20:22] <terminhell> just cli
[20:22] <Daft_Punk> ewj1976, i am using trayer
[20:23] <alarm> hello, what packages will i need to run a php page on my computer ? except of apache ?
[20:23] <plazia_> geirha, is that in the admin/preferences menu? because I don't see it? or is it a package you install?
[20:23] <Daft_Punk> ewj1976, i also tried stalone tray and the same thing with the icons, i tried another icon pack and original icons but same thing, its since upgrading to intrepid
[20:23] <dnyaga> Hi All! I recently upgraded my Intrepid laptop to the Jaunty alpha (couldn't wait to try ext4). I run on a three partition setup (/home, / and another partition). These were previously ext3, and I promptly converted them to ext4 (tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/sda? followed by a fsck). I also gave the same treatment to / (from a live cd, naturally) and altered /etc/fstab so that all the partitions are mounted ext4. In /etc/fstab, the mount optio
[20:23] <dnyaga>  the two non root partions are "defaults". I left the mount options for / at what they were in ext3 (distro default, relatime,errors=remount-ro). My confusion arises from this: partition management tools (like parted) list / as an ext3 partition and the other 2 [correctly] as ext4 partitions. From what I have read, invoking tune2fs with the options listed above ought to _irreversibly_ convert the ext3 partition to ext4. So why does it still appear to parted 
[20:23] <jrib> !php | alarm
[20:23] <dnyaga>  an ext3 partition? Does it have anything to do with the mount options? (For the record: "sudo mount" confirms that the partition has been mounted with the ext4 driver) While still on mount options, what are the defaults on ext4? What are the "best performance" options? What are the "keep your data real safe" mount options? I have Googled a bit - unsuccessfully. Thanks.
[20:23] <FloodBot1> dnyaga: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:23] <alarm> why do i need mysql ?
[20:23] <Pici> plazia_: You can use startupmanager (which is in the repos) to modify grub graphically.
[20:23] <jrib> alarm: you don't
[20:23] <Mickmeister> Does anybody know how to force the mounting of a partition via the terminal? I'm attempting to force /dev/sda1.
[20:23] <geirha> plazia_: A package that is not installed by default
[20:24] <plazia_> Pici, geirha Yud_Zroc thanks peeps
[20:24] <alarm> so php is the package name ?
[20:24] <duncan__> (OT) I need advice. I want to take my 300GB 3.5" SATA HDD on holiday with me and my laptop. What sort of case should should I buy for it? What ports USB, Firewire? Something else.
[20:24] <Yud_Zroc> !mount
[20:24] <ewj1976> Daft_Punk: I ended up finding replacements apps because I couldn't resolve the issue. Perhaps it lies in the apps themeselves. I switched from gnubiff to mail-notification for example to get the panel to look right.
[20:24] <plazia_> I'll take a look
[20:24] <Pici> dnyaga: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty/9.04 support/discussion.
[20:24] <jrib> Mickmeister: well first you should explain why you think you should be forcing it at all
[20:24] <Nicador> Soo .. any you guys have any ideea how to disable the blank screen if no activity ?
[20:24] <Artissimo> How do I get my network card's interface? iwconfig doesn't give it to me?\
[20:24] <Mickmeister> jrib, because I can't be arsed to reboot and shut down the Windows partition properly.
[20:24] <terminhell> you can usually assume it Artissimo
[20:25] <dnyaga> Thanks Pici, I will move shortly.
[20:25] <Yud_Zroc> Artissimo: some times u need to get the update for it
[20:25] <terminhell> eth1 or wlan0
[20:25] <Daft_Punk> ewj1976, i dont think it would be the apps because in hardy, i used the same apps and icons and they had transparent backgrounds, now things like xchat and my wireless in the tray, have white backgrounds and it clashes with my background color unless its white
[20:25] <Rencx> jrib: ty, does mdf2iso is 2005 year program? it dont have updates?
[20:26] <Pici> Rencx: Does it need updates? If it works why update it?
[20:26] <Artissimo> terminhell: it says IEEE 802.11 Nickname:"" /n Access Point : Not-Associated
[20:26] <jrib> Mickmeister: read the warnings in « man ntfs-3g ».  If you insist, pass "-o force" as an option to mount.  It may be better to use ntfsfix from the ntfsprogs package instead
[20:26] <Artissimo> For eth1
[20:26] <Yud_Zroc> dont pull a windows and fix things that aint broken
[20:26] <jrib> Rencx: I doubt it.  It's probably a very simple thing
[20:26] <duncan__> [MacSlow's Cairo Clock] Anyone else got a black background to this great little clock? I've lost transparency.
[20:26] <terminhell> Artissimo: ok try doing ifconfig eth1 essid "name"
[20:27] <Artissimo> What is "name"?
[20:27] <terminhell> the ssid
[20:27] <Artissimo> The ssid name of the wifi network?
[20:27] <Artissimo> Ok
[20:27] <Rencx> Pici: somtimes old stuff cant work with new versions of linux so i just check out..
[20:28] <Artissimo> essid "Unknown host"
[20:28] <terminhell> hard to imagine almsot 1500 people here
[20:28] <geirha> terminhell: shoudn't that be iwconfig?
[20:28] <terminhell> you could try using iwconfig also
[20:28] <terminhell> ive been able to set it with either
[20:28] <Rencx> jrib: ok and what file i shold take?
[20:29] <Nicador> terminhell: Well .. I'm have a problem that I can't fix from several hours and nobody can help me. What do you say about that ?
[20:29] <terminhell> Nicador: sorry to hear that, whats the problem
[20:29] <Rencx> jrib: for ubuntu it can be mdf2iso_0.3.0-2_i386.deb?
[20:30] <Nicador> I have an Ubuntu server, and if it's no keyboard activity the screen goes blank... and I want to disable that. As simple it sounds, as hard it is to find some help. Forums, google, irc... anything.
[20:30] <jrib> Rencx: ah.  Actually, mdf2iso is in the repositories, so you should use synaptic or apt-get directly
[20:30] <fx3> Nicador, its to do with APM, i think
[20:31] <rocknroll> Ubuntu Is Rock Stable...
[20:31] <terminhell> do you have a gui installed on this server?
[20:31] <rocknroll> Ubuntu Is Rock Stable...
[20:31] <rocknroll> Ubuntu Is Rock Stable...
[20:31] <Nicador> No i dont' have a GUI.
[20:31] <Nicador> fx3: In GRUB or what ?
[20:31] <rocknroll> jsut switched from fedora to ubuntu .. Ubuntu Rockz
[20:31] <fx3> yea in grub
[20:31] <Rencx> jrib: and what if i alredy instaled deb? version 0.30?
[20:31] <terminhell> is there any particular reason you dont want the display to go off?
[20:32] <Nicador> fx3: Ok, thanks. I'll try. And come back.
[20:32] <fx3> terminhell, it doesnt matter, say he uses it to display some information on a big screen
[20:32] <Nicador> terminhell: Yeah, i want to keep an eye on it :)
[20:32] <terminhell> aight. just trying to fully understand the situation is all
[20:32] <jrib> Rencx: you can remove it and install the repository one (this way you get automatic updates)
[20:33] <IntuitiveNipple> Nicador: Check the man-page but it is something like: setterm -blank 0 -powersave off
[20:33] <srid> can anyone share your ~/.bashrc? I lost mine
[20:33] <Hedonista> is there a way to mount a usb drive and not preserve the original permissions someone gave me a usbstick  to use  owned by root and i just dont want to rewrite the permissions but i want to copy some files as user
[20:34] <Nicador> IntuitiveNipple: Done that, still no change. Thanks any way.
[20:34] <Rencx> jrib: sorry for questions but how i can remove it?
[20:34] <Nicador> fx3: In grub, i'll insert a new like after quiet and thipe noacpi ?
[20:34] <Nicador> type*
[20:34] <jrib> Rencx: sudo apt-get remove PACKAGE
[20:34] <CNLiberal> i need some help with the startup sequence of two services
[20:34] <Samushka> i have a result set using the 'find' command... i would like to perform a 'ls -lh' on that set... how would i do that
[20:34] <CNLiberal> I need the DHCP3 service to start before the Mythbackend service
[20:34] <Ienorand> what is the ubuntu installer called?
[20:34] <fx3> Nicador, actually, try IntuitiveNipple's idea first, cause disabling acpi means you wont have any thermal zones and stuff
[20:35] <CNLiberal> and if it's possible, have the mythbackend process wait 20 seconds before starting
[20:35] <Nicador> fx3: I tried, it doesen't work :)
[20:35] <Rencx> jrib: ty for your help :)
[20:35] <terminhell> nico1038: i think you need to also look at acpid and apmd
[20:35] <terminhell> your power managements
[20:36] <Artissimo> Where is my kernal sources directory?
[20:36] <fx3> Nicador, http://swoolley.org/man.cgi/apmd
[20:36] <Cristi> hy! how can i get to automount with the fsab.conf? i am using these line /dev/sda1 /media/linux120 ext3 defaults 0 0 . Somehow it doesn't start on login. What is wrong?
[20:37] <fx3> Cristi, run sudo mount -a
[20:37] <fx3> if it doesnt mount then there is a problem and it wont mount at boot time
[20:37] <c0p3rn1c> do you have to buy codecs to watch divx 5 ?
[20:37] <Cristi> fx3: they are mounted now
[20:37] <CNLiberal> can anyone help with the service startup order?
[20:37] <IntuitiveNipple> Nicador: Have you looked at disabling dpms ?
[20:37] <c0p3rn1c> my picture is all messed up when I try to watch a divx 5 movie
[20:37] <ikonia> Artissimo: you don't have one, your using pre-compiled kernels
[20:38] <Artissimo> Hm
[20:38] <Cristi> fx3: however i want them to automount on startup? should i just try to restart? i just reloged after reediting fstab
[20:38] <terminhell> make a custom started launcher for it Cristi
[20:38] <CNLiberal> Cristi:  if you can run "sudo mount -a" and it runs succesfully, then on a reboot, the mounts shoudl work
[20:38] <terminhell> *startup
[20:38] <fx3> Cristi, no, edit fstab and run sudo mount -a, if the file systems mount sucessfully they will automount on startu
[20:39] <fx3> startup*
[20:39] <terminhell> haha
[20:39] <Cristi> CNLiberal, fx3 thank you
[20:39] <terminhell> CNLiberal: what is you want to do
[20:39] <CNLiberal> i need the DHCP3 service to start up before the mtyhbackend process
[20:39] <ikonia> CNLiberal: it should do
[20:40] <ikonia> CNLiberal: networking is normally before the other service
[20:40] <CNLiberal> it starts up after the mythbackend process
[20:40] <ikonia> CNLiberal: are you sure ?
[20:40] <terminhell> odd
[20:40] <CNLiberal> well, i have a HD Homerun box attached to the secondary NIC on my backend
[20:40] <ikonia> CNLiberal: please go into /etc/rc2.d
[20:40] <CNLiberal> the mythbackend process desn't see the HDHR box when it starts
[20:40] <CNLiberal> k
[20:40] <Nicador> I booted with noacpi ... cause i don't see http://swoolley.org/man.cgi/apmd here anything related to my blank screen. If it works as it is, i'll leave it this way.
[20:40] <ikonia> CNLiberal: please tell me the name of your mythtv script
[20:41] <FND> question about using tiling window managers on Ubuntu - would I have to replace GNOME entirely (not necessarily a bad thing)? are there any implications in terms of, say, system tray, notifications etc.
[20:41] <CNLiberal> ok
[20:41] <CNLiberal> in /etc/rc2.d
[20:41] <terminhell> FND: no
[20:41] <ikonia> CNLiberal: in that directory there should be a mythtv script
[20:41] <ikonia> CNLiberal: something like S55myythtv-backend
[20:41] <terminhell> FND: infact im using fluxbox/blackbox atm
[20:41] <CNLiberal> S40dhcp3-server
[20:41] <ikonia> CNLiberal: no
[20:42] <CNLiberal> S20mythtv-backend
[20:42] <ikonia> CNLiberal: a.) that's a server b.) not what I asked for
[20:42] <FND> terminhell: are there any guides on getting started?
[20:42] <Rencx> jrib: sorry what i have to do next i have installed it..
[20:42] <ikonia> CNLiberal: do you want the dhcp server or client running ?
[20:42] <Speedy059> I'm unable to connect to my Ubuntu server with Putty. I just use SSH on port 22 don't I?
[20:42] <ikonia> CNLiberal: I thought you wanted the client ?
[20:42] <CNLiberal> right, i want the DHCP server to start before the mythbackend script
[20:42] <CNLiberal> I have 2 NICS
[20:42] <terminhell> FND: though, notifications might be a bit trickier to setup on certain managers.
[20:42] <CNLiberal> both have static IPS
[20:42] <CNLiberal> IPs
[20:42] <ikonia> CNLiberal: so you don't need a dhcp server
[20:42] <jrib> Rencx: I have no experience with it, read its documentation
[20:42] <ewj1976> FND: you could also check out crunchbanglinux.org for an openbox version of Ubuntu 8.10. It's what I primarily use.
[20:42] <CNLiberal> but the secondary NIC serves out addresses
[20:42] <FND> terminhell: I'm thinking of XMonad or StumpWM (mostly out of ignorance at this point)
[20:42] <ikonia> CNLiberal: if they have static IP - they don't need an address
[20:43] <ikonia> CNLiberal: anyway, just change the numbers at the start of the script - lower starts first
[20:43] <CNLiberal> DHCP server is installed and working, but I want it to start well before the myth-backend service
[20:43] <FND> ewj1976: I have a CrunchBang VM, but OpenBox is not a tiling window manager
[20:43] <CNLiberal> ahh
[20:43] <CNLiberal> ok
[20:43] <jiffe92> alright, I'm trying to run 'gpg --gen-key' to setup my own repository, and it gets to the point where it is generating random material and to increase entropy it needs random input from me, I filled the input buffer with random stuff and it hasn't done squat
[20:43] <LMJ-P> hi
[20:43] <ewj1976> FND: sorry, missed that. Scrolling too fast for my irssi window :(
[20:43] <FND> ewj1976: in fact, I tried (briefly) to get StumpWM running on #!, but that didn't quite work
[20:43] <LMJ-P>  Sound like a bug : sometimes, I have some Wifi signal with a quality over 100%, sometimes : 177/100 which is not possible & not true. The signals are quite far. Do you know why?
[20:44] <CNLiberal> ikonia: so in my case, the mythbackend service is starting BEFORE the DHCP server  (S20myth-backend and S40DHCP3-server)
[20:44] <eitreach__> I have just hooked my EEE to my tv, but I have a small problem. I can only use a resolution of 640x480 when doing that. Any suggestions on how to improve that?
[20:44] <terminhell> i wish irssi filtered out erroneous log msgs
[20:44] <Artissimo> How come when I try and install bcm43xx-fwcutter it says it can't find the package?
[20:44] <CNLiberal> Do I have to change the numbering in EACH rc*.d folder?
[20:44] <ikonia> CNLiberal: correct
[20:45] <CNLiberal> isn't rc5.d the normal GUI environment?
[20:45] <terminhell> fnd well
[20:45] <Rencx> DIFH-iceroot: i have mdf2iso but i dont now what to do next can you explain to me
[20:46] <terminhell> FND: in synaptic you could just search and install the WM's you want. Then log out and change the session type. to get started tht iss
[20:46] <terminhell> *that is
[20:46] <jrib> CNLiberal: runlevels 2-5 are identical by default.  runlevel 2 is the default runlevel
[20:46] <Enissay> How can I use the "hddtemp /dev/sdc" without sudo?
[20:46] <terminhell> su
[20:46] <eugman> How do I set my secondary harddrive to automount? Do I have to edit the ftsab by hand or is there a gui way?
[20:46] <jrib> Rencx: did you try « mdf2iso --help » and « man mdf2iso »?
[20:46] <terminhell> :p
[20:46] <CNLiberal> jrib:  So if I change it in runlevel 2 then when i do a reboot back into GNOME, it should all be OK
[20:46] <IntuitiveNipple> CNLiberal: Ubuntu uses runlevel 2
[20:46] <CNLiberal> cool
[20:46] <CNLiberal> ahh
[20:46] <CNLiberal> gotcha
[20:46] <FND> terminhell: sounds simple enough, thanks
[20:46] <FloodBot1> CNLiberal: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:46] <Rencx> jrib: where i can find it?
[20:47] <jrib> Rencx: those are commands to enter in the terminal
[20:47] <terminhell> FND: a lot of the light weight wm's have no traditional menu. its a right click system anywhere on the desktop
[20:47] <Rencx> jrib: it has no windows?
[20:47] <CNLiberal> is there such a thing as starting a service TOO early?
[20:47] <jrib> Rencx: i doubt it
[20:48] <FND> terminhell: right-click? I was trying to get away from the mouse as much as possible... (without resorting entirely to screen... )
[20:48] <terminhell> FND: and i also suggest installing thunar as a file manager instead of using nautilis to speed up the feel of everything. not as functional but it does its job
[20:48] <Artissimo> Does anyone have expreience with b43-fwcuttter in here?
[20:49] <terminhell> FND: then i think openbox has a basic menu system
[20:49] <terminhell> Artissimo: ya im using that
[20:49] <Artissimo> When I try to run it on a .o it says input file is either wrong or not supported
[20:49] <terminhell> Artissimo: although i just used the restricted driver to get it running instead
[20:49] <Artissimo> But it is the .o straight from ubuntu forums
[20:50] <Daft_Punk> since upgrading to intrepid, certain icons in my systray such as xchat and wireless icons are no longer having transparent backgrounds, they appear white and clash with my background color, how can i fix this? i use trayer and have tried using stalonetray and neither fix the issue. icons such as amsn and amarok have transparent backgrounds. SCREENSHOT: http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/5944/screenshotzo3.png
[20:50] <terminhell> Artissimo: hmmmz
[20:51] <FND> terminhell: I don't really use Nautlius - CLI does the job, most of the time anyway
[20:51] <terminhell> Daft_Punk: have you tried switching icon themes?
[20:52] <hlm> is there a seperate help channel for vsftpd?
[20:52] <Daft_Punk> terminhell, yes i have
[20:52] <Daft_Punk> terminhell, i tried the original ubuntu icons too
[20:52] <oCean_> hlm: yes, there is a #vsftpd channel
[20:53] <Daft_Punk> terminhell, are there any systray apps that you know of, that would make any WHITE portion of the icon transparent? "false transparency"
[20:53] <terminhell> hmmz, ok, let me switch back to gnome so i can dig around for anything

[20:55] <Speedy059> To download something through SSH on Ubuntu, isn't it just wget?
[20:55] <jrib> Speedy059: scp
[20:56] <alarm> i got a problem with apache. every i see about: /usr/local/apache/conf/ httpd.conf , but there is no apache dir in my local directory. apache is up and running
[20:56] <alarm> i just cant find its config file
[20:56] <Pici> Speedy059: or curl, but scp makes more sense in most cases
[20:56] <Rencx> jrib: it made only 544kb large file from 7gb file
[20:58] <_spm_Draget> I am using Ubuntu 8.04 desktop and for example stopped /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon stop. I thought that also means for ubuntu not to start the daemon when the system boot again, but it is loaded, just as any other daemon I try to stop. How can I remove them from my init?
[20:59] <glitsj16> alarm: have you tried running "locate httpd.conf" yet ?
[20:59] <terminhell> ok back
[20:59] <alarm> i found httpd.conf in /etc but its empty
[21:00] <psykidellic> A smartmon help. http://paste.pocoo.org/show/104581/ - I get all the info doing -all, but I just want the INFORMATION section.
[21:00] <psykidellic> I read the man but I cant seem to find the option. I tried -A, -H, -c without help.
[21:02] <glitsj16> alarm: if you're running apache2 on ubuntu, look inside /etc/apache2 for various configuration files
[21:02] <jrib> alarm: you want /etc/apache2/apache2.conf  What are you reading?
[21:02] <alarm> found apache2.conf
[21:02] <Rencx> jrib: it made only 544kb large file from 7gb file
[21:03] <Rencx> jrib: and i cant mount it..
[21:03] <alarm> now try to fix a warning pache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1
[21:03] <jrib> Rencx: I saw.  I'm not sure what I can tell you without more information...
[21:03] <alarm> found some solutions try to implement them and see if they work
[21:04] <Notch-1> hi, sometimes i see gnome in blue instead of orange, and with a poor look, what is the cause of this behavior? if i just log off and on it's orange again, and with the cool graphics... :D
[21:04] <_spm_Draget> I am using Ubuntu 8.04 desktop and for example stopped /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon stop. I thought that also means for ubuntu not to start the daemon when the system boot again, but it is loaded, just as any other daemon I try to stop. How can I remove them from my init?
[21:06] <c0p3rn1c> I'm trying to watch a divx 5 movie but the picture is blue in kaffeine/xine and all other players are worse
[21:06] <jrib> _spm_Draget: use sysv-rc-conf or bum
[21:06] <terminhell> i dont see anything right now to cause your icons to display white
[21:06] <_dbd_l12> cOp3rn1c: try vlc or mplayer
[21:07] <c0p3rn1c> _dbd_l12: I did
[21:07] <c0p3rn1c> no luck
[21:07] <c0p3rn1c> pfff
[21:07] <_dbd_l12> did mplayer not play the file? you may have to download the codecs package and unzip it into the right directory
[21:08] <c0p3rn1c> only avidemux works correctly but there I can't watch fullscreen
[21:08] <c0p3rn1c> at least I dunno how
[21:08] <_dbd_l12> cOp3rn1c: press f ?
[21:08] <terminhell> Notch-1: poor look how?
[21:09] <Notch-1> like gtk with no theme
[21:09] <makito249> Does anyone know how to find out what driver X is using on a running system? I have no xorg.conf
[21:09] <c0p3rn1c> _dbd_l12: they all play the file I just cant get the picture right
[21:09] <Notch-1> Terminator: like gtk with no theme
[21:09] <hlm> how do I get a list of all created users in the terminal?
[21:09] <_dbd_l12> makito249: i'd search in the output of lsmod
[21:09] <Notch-1> sorry and sorry, it was for terminhell :P
[21:10] <c0p3rn1c> _dbd_l12: avidemux is made for video editing not for playback
[21:10] <_dbd_l12> c0p3rn1c: no experience with avidemux, sorry...
[21:10] <terminhell> Notch-1: does this happen everytime?
[21:10] <makito249> _dbd_l12:Is there any better way? The driver I think should be loaded "intel", does not appear and I don't know what it might be called.
[21:11] <Notch-1> terminhell: no, only sometimes, i have found no trigger anyway...
[21:11] <ifroog> Question, How to change qt themes from gnome?
[21:12] <_dbd_l12> makito249: lsmod | grep intel gives nothing. Hmm, let me think for a while
[21:12] <glitsj16> makito249: have you tried "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep driver" ?
[21:12] <DIFH-iceroot> Rencx: mdf2iso yourmdffile yourisofile
[21:12] <terminhell> Notch-1: hmm
[21:12] <Notch-1> terminhell: sometimes when i turn on the pc, sometimes when i log off and on...
[21:13] <_dbd_l12> makito: is there something to see in /proc/driver (or drivers) ?
[21:13] <Notch-1> terminhell: it's like 1 out of 10 times that i log in
[21:13] <terminhell> Notch-1: odd, im not sure
[21:14] <Notch-1> terminhell: ?
[21:14] <Rencx> DIFH-iceroot: it make me 544KB iso from 7gb mdf... and my isodont work
[21:15] <makito249> _glitsj16 it was in /var/log/Xorg.0.log! Is there any way to query the X server for what driver it is using currently? It seems like there should be a little cryptically named utility to do this.
[21:15] <CNLiberal> changing the numbers on the scripts in runlevel2 worked
[21:15] <CNLiberal> thanks!
[21:15] <alarm> i am getting this error : Apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1
[21:15] <CNLiberal> i do have another question regarding EnvyNG
[21:15] <makito249> _dbd_l12 nothing in proc drivers except sound card stuff
[21:15] <alarm> and all the sites i read , say about fqdn , which i cant find something like that on my ubuntu
[21:15] <CNLiberal> I have an nVidia FX5200 card with dual heads
[21:15] <terminhell> Notch-1: in the past ive had a problem like this but it pretty  much fixd itself over time thru im assuming gtk updates. So uh, im not realy sure what to check. Maybe your .gtkrc file in your home dir
[21:15] <glitsj16> makito249: unaware of such a command myself, but it would be usefull indeed
[21:16] <rwat> hi people. I've got an intel i7 on supermicro board. It has a pair of Intel 82574L  NICs. Ubuntu Hardy Server edition kernel does not recognise them. Source code does seem available from Intel. What's my best path to getting these running? Does anyone know of a kernel update for hardy that would cover this?
[21:16] <CNLiberal> and I installed EnvyNG and told it to install the nvidia 172 drivers
[21:16] <CNLiberal> and now, the screen blanks out randomly
[21:16] <CNLiberal> i disabled COMPOSITE in xorg.conf, but it still blanks out (albeit MUCH less than with it enabled)
[21:17] <IntuitiveNipple> makito249: Does this help? glxinfo | grep 'version string'
[21:17] <racecar56> if anyone wants to help me with making my /dev/sda3 a /boot partition instead of / having a boot folder come to #ubuntu-server
[21:17] <Notch-1> terminhell: .. that change? :D
[21:18] <Notch-1> terminhell: anyway i do not have a .gtkrc file in my home
[21:18] <Notch-1> is that bad? :P
[21:18] <CNLiberal> i have an identical card, in an identical mobo and it's not blanking out
[21:19] <makito249> Hey IntuitiveNipple, I just pmed you on ubuntu forums. `glxinfo | grep version` tells me about the hardware, but not the software as far as I can tell.
[21:19] <terminhell> Notch-1: hit ctrl+h to show hidden files
[21:19] <Notch-1> terminhell: done :D
[21:19] <Rencx> DIFH-iceroot: it make me 544KB iso from 7gb mdf... and my iso dont work. Do you now, what can i do?
[21:20] <IntuitiveNipple> makito249: It reports the information from the drivers.
[21:20] <IntuitiveNipple> makito249: Unfortunately, you have to interpret it - it doesn't simply give the actual driver filename
[21:21] <makito249> Ah, well that is helpful at least. I can tell whether I am using nvidia or intel graphics (sony vaio has both), though I still don't know which driver I am using.
[21:22] <TheBeege> anyone want to direct me to how to easily setup a bootloader? or just find a way to boot an ubuntu partition?
[21:23] <looter> Is there anyway to customize what keys get repeated?  For instance I am getting annoyed with the keys and backspace constantly repeating even on the least sensitive setting but when I turn off repeat I lose the ability to hold the backspace key which I still want to be able to do....
[21:23] <IntuitiveNipple> makito249: Thanks for the DSDT dump. I don't do anything with them nowadays, got fed up waiting for Sony to actually offer some help and it is too big a long-term job to try to figure out the stream of new models.
[21:23] <oCean_> alarm: apache just says that it cannot resolve a fqdn, and uses the ip as ServerName.
[21:23] <alarm> ok fixed it, added ServerName localhost in the apache.conf
[21:23] <alarm> now i try to set up php for apache :)
[21:23] <IntuitiveNipple> makito249: The Xorg.0.log file will report the loaded driver
[21:23] <oCean_> alarm: aha.. I was about to tell you :)
[21:23] <makito249> IntuitiveNipple: OK, do you know if there is anyone else working on it? If not, where would you recommend a relatively inexperienced programmer should start?
[21:24] <makito249> Oh, and how do I get the message certain users like you are doing with me (i.e. show up in gold)?
[21:24] <racecar56> what is a step-by-step way to make ubuntu use /dev/sda3 as a boot partition instead of /boot? (btw the /dev/sda3 is a fat16)
[21:24] <oCean_> alarm: "a2enmod php5" should enable the php module for apache. Don't forget to restart apache after that
[21:24] <deany> alarm, its not really an error
[21:24] <Dandre> hello
[21:24] <IntuitiveNipple> makito249: No, the only work is the itty-bitty additions in sony-laptop. There's no effort now for a comprehensive solution.
[21:24] <deany> just something it spits out....
[21:24] <Dandre> where can I find opensync-plugin-sunbird for hardy?
[21:24] <alarm> a2enmod ? thats the package name ?
[21:25] <Nicador> I can't stand it anymore .. I'm trying for 5 hours to disable the blank screen standby .. and I can't manage to make it work...
[21:25] <deany> the command, a shortcut to enable a module
[21:25] <oCean_> alarm: a2enmod is the command to enable a module, the php5 is the module name .. so "a2enmod php5"
[21:25] <deany> normally you`d have to add it in http.conf
[21:25] <IntuitiveNipple> makito249: I wouldn't recommend it for even an experienced programmer - figuring out the legacy Sony spaghetti is a nightmare that I still get confused over, after a couple of years!
[21:25] <alarm> Module php5 already enabled
[21:25] <oCean_> alarm: it actually links files (modules) from /etc/apach2/mods-available to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
[21:25] <alarm> lets see
[21:25] <deany> quick way is, sudo tasksel install lamp-server
[21:25] <deany> really, saves lot of headaches
[21:26] <IntuitiveNipple> Nicador: Is it a laptop system?
[21:26] <pder> is there a c compiler available for ubuntu?
[21:26] <Myrtti> pder: of course
[21:26] <Myrtti> pder: what are you planning to compile?
[21:26] <pder> some programs for a class
[21:26] <Myrtti> pder: sudo aptitude install build-essential
[21:26] <aezell> Hi all, I'm having an issue with xvfb-run on Intrepid. It never seems to kill the Xvfb server that it starts.
[21:26] <racecar56> pder: yes there is it's called gcc
[21:27] <pder> thanks Myrtti
[21:27] <intro_> hi odder
[21:28] <makito249> IntuitiveNipple, OK, I will probably do some hacking anyway. I will try not to brick my laptop, though. Professors aren't generally very understanding of self-induced laptop brickage.
[21:28] <rwat> anyone running Intrepid know if the e1000 driver there has support for the 82574L chipset?
[21:28] <Gistybit> i have set up dnsmasq as a DNS forwarder for my private network. Is there any way to redirect failed dns lookups to my server ip ?
[21:28] <Nicador> Hello. I have an Ubuntu Server 8.10 Intrepid. I want to disable the feature that closes my monitor after a while of inactivity. I tried searching and posting on the forums( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1074563 ) and on Google, but with no luck. Can you please help me ?
[21:29] <DJNomad> hey all im a newbie and I am having trouble getting a a usb micro sd memory card adapter to mount
[21:29] <crdlb> rwat: is it not working?
[21:30] <zleap> what is in your fstab file
[21:30] <Notch-1> DJNomad: not on a eeepc, i hope :D
[21:30] <Swiatecki> Can anyone help me whit this ? :) http://www.swiatechs.com/error.txt
[21:30] <DJNomad> what site do ya recommend me to look for info on
[21:30] <DJNomad> no no
[21:30] <racecar56> if anyone wants to help me with making my /dev/sda3 a /boot partition instead of / having a boot folder please come to #ubuntu-server (this is grub stuff i think)
[21:30] <DJNomad> its a 733 tho so maybe just as bad
[21:30] <crdlb> rwat: the intel "product brief" indicates that there is support for it in kernel 2.6.24 and up
[21:30] <Notch-1> :D
[21:31] <Dandre> where can I find opensync-plugin-sunbird for hardy?
[21:31] <Notch-1> DJNomad: with an internal slot or external adapter?
[21:31] <DJNomad> external
[21:31] <DJNomad> it says no media in adapter
[21:31] <Notch-1> where?
[21:31] <DJNomad> drive i mean not adapter
[21:32] <DJNomad> its a lil usb thing you can put memory cards in
[21:32] <ConstantineXVI> DOSBox is raw emulation, right?
[21:32] <Notch-1> DJNomad: where you get the error, or in other words: how do you try to mount it?
[21:33] <DJNomad> oh i go to the my computer icon and try there
[21:33] <DJNomad> i dunno notta bout the panel
[21:33] <zleap> ok do fdisk -l
[21:33] <zleap> that may list detected devices
[21:33] <iGama> hy
[21:34] <alarm> ok php works now
[21:34] <DJNomad> i tried doing what i find online but mine ...i dont understand the sda stuff
[21:34] <Notch-1> should you open a terminal and post the output of "lsusb"?
[21:34] <DJNomad> says cannot open a or b
[21:35] <Notch-1> ??
[21:35] <DJNomad> i have a zip drive too that is prolly the other one
[21:35] <glitsj16> Dandre: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/i386/opensync-plugin-sunbird/0.19-1 might have what you're looking for (if you need i386)
[21:36] <monstro> Hi all,
[21:36] <Dandre> ok thanks glitsj16
[21:36] <monstro> How to search for peoples to Ekiga?
[21:36] <DJNomad> dj@dj-ultimate:~$ fdisk -l
[21:36] <DJNomad> Cannot open /dev/sda
[21:36] <DJNomad> Cannot open /dev/sdb
[21:36] <Notch-1> DJNomad: please post also "lsusb" output
[21:37] <DJNomad> k sorry
[21:37] <fx3_> so, can anyone help me make my server accessible just by using its name "userver"  instead of IP?
[21:37] <IntuitiveNipple> DJNomad: use sudo fdisk -l
[21:37] <vigo> !pastebin
[21:39] <fx3_> if i use hosts file, that solves the problem partially but i would like this way to be automatic and cross platform
[21:39] <kain2396> I'm having some issues with apt-get... mainly centering around  the language-pack-en-base package.
[21:39] <IntuitiveNipple> fx3_: add it to a local DNS zone
[21:39] <fabio> hi there: i need the google search for firefox 3.1 (google.xml)
[21:39] <fx3_> IntuitiveNipple, right, where can i find more info about this ?
[21:40] <fabio> i can't find it in Manage Search Engine: can you send it to me ?
[21:40] <IntuitiveNipple> fabio: It should be installed by the firefox-3.0 package, in /usr/lib/firefox-addons/searchplugins/google.xml
[21:40] <Nicador> fx3: I'm done. This thing it's the hardest thing I ever made in my life.
[21:40] <rwat> crdlb: thanks for that.
[21:40] <DJNomad> http://pastebin.com/d4af771a2
[21:40] <DJNomad> thanks for the pastebin link thats awesome
[21:40] <IntuitiveNipple> fx3_: Am I correct in assuming you want this to work for LAN devices, or is it for the wider public Internet?
[21:41] <Rencx> DIFH-iceroot: it make me 544KB iso from 7gb mdf... and my iso dont work. Do you now, what can i do?
[21:41] <fabio> IntuitiveNipple: that folder is empty, i need that file please
[21:41] <fx3_> IntuitiveNipple, no, just a small home network, LAN is a correct asumption
[21:41] <Nicador> DJNomad you might want to apt-get install pastebinit :) Next time you want to pastebin something you just have to pui pastebinit in front of the command, like so: pastebinit ps ax
[21:42] <Nicador> An URL will be automaticly generated.
[21:42] <IntuitiveNipple> fabio: reinstall the firefox-3.0 package (sudo apt-get --reinstall install firefox-3.0)
[21:42] <Daft_Punk> since upgrading to intrepid, certain icons in my systray such as xchat and wireless icons are no longer having transparent backgrounds, they appear white and clash with my background color, how can i fix this? i use trayer and have tried using stalonetray and neither fix the issue. icons such as amsn and amarok have transparent backgrounds.

[21:42] <Rencx> Does anyone now how to work with mdf2iso?
[21:42] <fabio> IntuitiveNipple: slow connection....
[21:42] <fabio> i did remove firefox 3.0 because i got the 3.1 and now i'm without it
[21:43] <IntuitiveNipple> fabio: If the package is already installed the .deb files will be in the local apt cache (/var/cache/apt/archives) and therefore apt-get will use those
[21:43] <DJNomad> whats the ax stand for >?
[21:43] <AndryZ> how do I use 7zip under ubuntu?
[21:43] <IntuitiveNipple> fabio: Hmmm... that explains why it is missing then :)
[21:43] <jrib> !7zip | AndryZ
[21:43] <fabio> IntuitiveNipple: i always do sudo apt-get clean
[21:43] <IntuitiveNipple> fabio: oh well, that shoots that idea down then
[21:43] <glitsj16> kx1: that error is due to ppa.launchpad.net adding gpg keys to all it's projects, look at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1054906.html for a fix.
[21:44] <fx3_> IntuitiveNipple, i suspect i need to install DNS server on my server and point all computers to use it as a dns server and then have it formward stuff to the router? is that correct?
[21:44] <kx1> and what if its not there ? coz i typed in the source my self
[21:44] <Rencx> Does anyone now how work MDF2ISO?
[21:44] <fabio> IntuitiveNipple: send me that file
[21:44] <IntuitiveNipple> fx3_: That sounds like a good solution. You might want to look at dnsmasq, the lightweight combined DNS/DHCP server. It will be able to handle that for you.
[21:45] <IntuitiveNipple> fabio: I don't have it
[21:45] <AndryZ> jrib: I have file roller but it has an error when trying decompressing

[21:46] <Marfi> I'm having trouble mounting a .iso. It keeps telling me that it isn't iso9660. Any ideas on how to mount it?
[21:46] <fx3_> IntuitiveNipple, is it a good idea overall because my router currently provides all the DHCPing and its not loading the server. is there any other way around it like windows servers (and computers) have it?
[21:46] <kain2396> Sure. Anything I attempt to install (from any source, such as synaptic, apt-get, etc...) tries to pull in language-pack-en-base, and it hangs while "Generating locales".
[21:46] <geirha> Marfi: run the file command on it: file theiso.iso
[21:47] <gordonjcp> hello
[21:47] <goku>  
[21:47] <goku> hello :)
[21:47] <IntuitiveNipple> fx3_: Maybe the router has it's own DNS server you can add to? Many Linux-based routers actually use dnsmasq because it is so small
[21:47] <kx1> glitsj16 you mean ? NO_PUBKEY 6AF0E194(0624A220 )
[21:47] <gordonjcp> Via K8M890 chipsets, supported or not?
[21:48] <Marfi> geirha: it says its data. now what?
[21:48] <gordonjcp> it's working, *kind of*, but it's incredibly slow

[21:48] <fx3_> IntuitiveNipple, ill have a look, its a no thrills netgear wireless router
[21:48] <luckyone> will adding noatime and nodiratime to my /etc/fstab make my performance faster and what are the drawbacks?
[21:48] <Marfi> geirha: file.iso: data
[21:48] <AndryZ> jrib: It says thats not a debian archive, and infact it has been made under windows
[21:49] <jrib> AndryZ: you didn't answer my question
[21:49] <geirha> Marfi: then it isn't a proper iso ... maybe corrupted during download or something
[21:49] <IntuitiveNipple> kx1: You can add missing keys using: sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com $KEYID
[21:49] <kain2396> It looks liekt his, right now: http://paste.ubuntu.com/120316/

[21:51] <IntuitiveNipple> glitsj16: You can import to apt-key directly (see my earlier example)
[21:51] <AndryZ> sync350: it's .7z already
[21:51] <Artissimo> jrib: how do I type that?
[21:51] <glitsj16> IntuitiveNipple: saw it too late, thanks :)
[21:51] <fx3_> IntuitiveNipple, thing is, windows machines seem to get the names fine, even if the client is unix. also in the router if i look at attached devices i see their propper hostnames
[21:51] <AndryZ> I get an error because it's not a debian archive
[21:51] <sync350> what are you using to extract it?
[21:51] <jrib> AndryZ: What does « apt-cache policy p7zip » return?
[21:51] <kx1> glitsj16 thnx man i'll feedback with the result
[21:51] <IntuitiveNipple> glitsj16: I know... after all that typing it's a shame to waste it :)
[21:52] <glitsj16> IntuitiveNipple: true heh
[21:52] <jrib> Artissimo: use $(FOOBAR) instead of `FOOBAR` if you prefer
[21:52] <Artissimo> jrib: how do you type that?
[21:52] <Artissimo> ok
[21:52] <AndryZ> jrib: 4.58
[21:52] <IntuitiveNipple> fx3_: That sounds like some are using SMB NETBIOS for name resolution, maybe even WINS.
[21:52]  * jrib sighs
[21:52] <CNLiberal> anyone have this problem with the nvidia driver
[21:53] <fx3_> IntuitiveNipple, is it possible to get every machine to use this too?
[21:53] <sync350> AndryZ: does it say "Installed: (none)"?
[21:53] <lucax> hey is jaunty have a new look?
[21:53] <AndryZ> sync350: no, both are 4.58
[21:53] <IntuitiveNipple> fx3_: It's a lot of overhead and not fool-proof. I've always configured networks to use DNS since it is much more reliable and controllable.
[21:54] <Silverwing> hi all, I'm using jaunty beta and after a update, my system is extremely slow..
[21:54] <sync350> AndryZ: try "sudo apt-get install p7zip-full" to make sure it has all the packages
[21:54] <AndryZ> sync350: the problem is that it doesnt read only the archive created under windows XP
[21:54] <IntuitiveNipple> !jaunty
[21:54] <fx3_> ok, and last question, can if i point my router to use my server as DNS, and then point my server's DNS to my ISP's, is that a good idea?
[21:54] <Silverwing> jaunty alpha, sorry
[21:54] <CNLiberal> is there an nvidia problem on 8.04 that could be fixed on 8.10?
[21:55] <Silverwing> ah ok thanks
[21:55] <kain2396> Is there anyway to download language-pack-en-base and install it manually?
[21:55] <glitsj16> Silverwing: #ubuntu+1 might be a better place to ask questions on jaunty
[21:55] <IntuitiveNipple> fx3_: Yes, that'd work. The router will usually only be a DNS relay anyhow
[21:55] <fx3_> IntuitiveNipple, at least that way i dont have to change all the config on clients
[21:56] <fx3_> is it already leaving secondary DNS server set to my ISP's incase my server fails?
[21:56] <ifroog> Question, How to change qt themes from gnome?
[21:56] <IntuitiveNipple> fx3_: It's worth investigating your router find out if there may be a command-line interface /telnet to do configuration the web interface doesn't allow
[21:57] <nibblyn> Sometimes after reboot the desktop icons are moved into the top half of the screen. The background and the panels are working properly but it is impossible to reposition the icons. After a reboot everything returns to work. Any ideas? (intrepid, gnome)
[21:57] <tangentcollision> what is the name of the taskbar in gnome?
[21:57] <CaneToad> has anyone noticed that when vmware player (2.5.1) is running (WinXP at least), Shift-Ctrl-V in gnome-terminal doesn't work?
[21:57] <fx3_> IntuitiveNipple, no mine doesnt have anything like that
[21:57] <Davedan> I did something and the icons on my ubuntu-desktop have changed.
[21:58] <Davedan> I used to have a question mark icon on the top menu and now I have a saving weel
[21:58] <Davedan> How do I revert the change?
[21:58] <l337ingDisorder> anyone used partimage before?
[21:58] <Davedan> l337ingDisorder: yes
[21:58] <Bobber> Davedan what was the something that you did?
[21:58] <kx1> IntuitiveNipple  - glitsj16 thnx alot guys .. it worked for me .. : )
[21:58] <l337ingDisorder> Davedan: familiar with the command-line aspect of it?
[21:58] <Davedan> Bobber: I don't know
[21:59] <Davedan> l337ingDisorder: no. I used the graphical interface
[21:59] <l337ingDisorder> balls.
[21:59] <Davedan> l337ingDisorder: sorry
[21:59] <tangentcollision> excuse me, I'm using tightvnc and I need to start up everything command by command, what is the name of the taskbar in gnome?
[21:59] <l337ingDisorder> Davedan: thanks anyway :)
[21:59] <Schuenemann> is it safe to delete the kernel sources under /usr/src?
[22:00] <l337ingDisorder> tangentcollision: do you meant the entire bar or just the taskbar aspect of the bar? The whole bar is gnome-panel
[22:00] <glitsj16> kx1: glad the issue is solved, yw
[22:00] <l337ingDisorder> tangentcollision: not sure the name of the tasks applet within the bar
[22:00] <tangentcollision> gnome-panel should work
[22:00] <Failasaur> fx3_: you want to use your router to be the nameserver of the lanhosts, and the router to obtain the dns info by another nameserver?
[22:01] <tangentcollision> 1337ingDisorder...damnit
[22:01] <fx3_> yes, Failasaur , that way i wont have to repoint all my computer to use the new DNS server
[22:01] <tangentcollision> apperently it doesn't work through VNC
[22:01] <Failasaur> fx3_: what's your router running ?
[22:01] <fx3_> its a bit of a zigzag really
[22:02] <fx3_> Failasaur, its a netgear DG834G home router
[22:02] <Failasaur> fx3_: I'd guess it's possible to configure it as a dns relay ?
[22:03] <guntbert> tangentcollision: other approach: why do you use vnc instead ssh -X ?
[22:03] <skorasaurus> !gnome-panel
[22:03] <Huufarted> question about scripts:  I'm getting an error when attempting to run a script (./test_rsync) but when I execute the commands individually they work fine.  Can someone take a look at this and tell me why?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/120319/
[22:03] <fx3_> Failasaur, just trying to find out (i havent seen an option in the configs)
[22:04] <tangentcollision> guntbert: windows
[22:04] <tangentcollision> xp with tightvnc
[22:04] <guntbert> skorasaurus: ask for packages with !info <package>
[22:04] <rapina> Hi people, someone knows where can i can informations about the installation of Wireless board Broadcom 4322G ?
[22:04] <Adrenalin`> Hi, I got a ubuntu that answer all my comands in german, how can I change to make it speak english to me ? ;]
[22:04] <skorasaurus> hi, my gnome panel was on the top of my desktop, but it's now on the right-hand side, i haven't figured out how to move it back
[22:05] <skorasaurus> !info gnome-panel
[22:05] <Huufarted> Skorasauras:  just drag an unused portion of it
[22:05] <Huufarted> Skorasauras, it won't look like anything is happening until you release the mouse.
[22:05] <skorasaurus> Huufarted, thanks.
[22:05] <guntbert> tangentcollision: thats no problem, I use cygwin/X,  that exists even portable, with portable putty
[22:05] <gajop> hey, my laptop still continues playing sound on internal speakers when i plug in the headphones, and there doesn't seem to be an option in the mixer to turn only the internal speakers off; how do i fix this?
[22:05] <skorasaurus> is there a way to prevent from have that happening again ?
[22:06] <Failasaur> fx3_: basically, your router should either 1.function as a namerver where your clients ask the queries. The router has it's own dns server set.  2. The router takes all the client's queries and forwards them to a configured dns server, this usually is the router's dns server.
[22:06] <fx3_> Failasaur, no i dont think it does, i mean it relays DNS queries from computers and forwards them to my ISP's DNS
[22:06] <tangentcollision> guntbert: I've tried for days to get putty + x to work, it just doesn't for me
[22:06] <tangentcollision> guntbert: I use VNC, it works fine, I have no problems
[22:06] <Failasaur> fx3_: but you don't want that ?
[22:06] <tangentcollision> guntbert: the only problem I have is that I have no taskbar
[22:07] <ntiy> Hi everyone. Is here anyone familiar with SGE?
[22:07] <nibblyn> skorasaurus, lock it, right mouse clik and select the proper menu list
[22:07] <fx3_> Failasaur, i dont thing that would work to be honest...
[22:07] <ntiy> Sun Grid Engine I mean
[22:07] <Failasaur> fx3_: so you don't want the forwarding, you want a local cache nameserver
[22:07] <fx3_> Failasaur, im trying to give names to my lan hosts
[22:08] <MooBiesUS> Hello.  I am looking at my samba shares, I am able to see the files , etc.  However when I go to copy them to the desktop it asks for me to login and a password/user name.  However, there is no password to them in windows.  How do I fix this? Do I need to put in a fake user/password ?
[22:08] <guntbert> tangentcollision: I saw your problem, have no solution, tried a different approach - sorry if it is no help :)
[22:08] <skorasaurus> !samba
[22:08] <msikma> Hi there, can someone tell me how to mount a cdrom in the command line?
[22:08] <CNLiberal> i think i have really messed up my xorg.conf
[22:08] <Failasaur> fx3_: how many hosts are there to run linux in that lan ?
[22:08] <tangentcollision> absolutely wonderful, I got my taskbar :D
[22:08] <tangentcollision> guntbert: screen gnome-panel
[22:09] <fx3_> Failasaur, cant find any such option in the router, i just know that all computers have the router as its DNS server, and the router has my ISP's dns server, and i dont want to change all computers' setup
[22:09] <AndryZ> jrib: I think the problem of the 7zip archive have been caused by corruption of data. could you suggest me a command to veryfy the CRC or MD5 hashes?
[22:09] <fx3_> Failasaur, unless of course that would be the simplest way to do it.
[22:09] <Jockeo> What Firefox version is the newest version for Gutsy Gibbon (Ubuntu 7.10) in the repositories?
[22:09] <guntbert> tangentcollision: glad it works, thank you for reporting back, I'll remember that
[22:09] <nikkos> hello
[22:09] <fx3_> Failasaur, how many hosts are linux? just one. rest are windows. and a linux server
[22:09] <tangentcollision> guntbert: no problem, lol xD
[22:09] <Failasaur> fx3_: but what's wrong with your current setup ?
[22:10] <skorasaurus> Jockeo, check http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[22:10] <fx3_> Failasaur, i cant use names to access my server from my windows computers
[22:10] <fx3_> as in, i would like to type in 'server'
[22:10] <tangentcollision> is there any way to pipe audio through VNC?
[22:10] <Jockeo> skorasaurus: Thanks
[22:10] <fx3_> and get the ip of the linux server, 10.0.1.11
[22:10] <Daft_Punk> while playing back a video file in mplayer i get a "frame skip 8 error" and have to press ok, it seems whenever there is a frame skip it gives me this popup during playback, how do i disable the popup?
[22:10] <Failasaur> fx3_: ah i see
[22:10] <manuel__> nas
[22:11] <fx3_> Failasaur, im sorry if my explanations have been off, i cant wrap my head around this topic yet
[22:11] <jrib> AndryZ: did you check if p7zip can verify it?  (man 7z suggests: 7z t)
[22:11] <nanotube> Jockeo: look on packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy
[22:11] <fx3_> Failasaur, im trying to do this at home and at work, both having similar problems, windows computers with one unix server
[22:12] <Failasaur> fx3_: you want to name lan hosts ips, in addition to internet urls. As in  "ping server1.localnet" and also "ping www.kernel.org", right ?
[22:12] <IntuitiveNipple> fx3_: Ahhh, you want it from the Windows PCs... add them to /media/Vista/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts
[22:12] <IntuitiveNipple> fx3_: or even, \Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
[22:13] <fx3_> IntuitiveNipple, Failasaur yea, but without changing the hosts file on every single machines (my work is a computer repair shop, we get 10s of comuters every day and i dont want to modify hosts on each of them)
[22:14] <Huufarted> Can someone look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/120319/ and tell me why this script is erroring out?  755 permissions on the script and I can run the commands individually, just not from a shell script
[22:14] <patrizia> I am italian student
[22:14] <fx3_> Failasaur, yes, that would be very nice, but maybe without the .localhost, just have them override everything
[22:14] <IntuitiveNipple> fx3_: In that case, use dnsmasq and have a proper set-up
[22:14] <patrizia> my namens is patrizia
[22:14] <guntbert> fx3_: at work you will have a dhcp-server, and that can assign any DNS-servers you like
[22:14] <hatter243> Huufarted, at the start of the script, type the line #!/bin/bash
[22:14] <patrizia> wehere channel italian ubuntu?
[22:15] <Huufarted> hatter243, thanks!
[22:15] <Davedan> I can see more then 10 eclipse related packaes on the package manager. How do I know which one to install?
[22:15] <fx3_> guntbert, well, we have a similar home router that i have at home. not a dedicated computer that deals out DHCP.
[22:15] <hatter243> Huufarted, alternatively you could do "bash test_rsync"
[22:15] <eseven73> !it | patrizia
[22:15] <fx3_> IntuitiveNipple, ill have a bash at dnsmasq but id line to keep hdcp on the router if possible
[22:16] <ivarv> so my google skills fail me. I'm trying to setup sudoers so that a specific user can run "sudo -u otheruser command" without a password
[22:16] <Failasaur> fx3_: or setup a cache nameserver in that linux server in your lan, add a zone for your lan there with the ips and names. Then make your hosts have primary dnsserver this linux server, and secondary nameserver the router.
[22:16] <AndryZ> jrib: i know the CRC hash for that file, i just want to generate the same hash for the file on ubuntu
[22:16] <fx3_> could i change the primary nameserver of my router to point to the linux server? Failasaur
[22:16] <IntuitiveNipple> fx3_: You might confuse the issue. Let dnsmasq do the entire job and save any confusion.
[22:16] <sebsebseb> I know I can ls  the contents of a folder, but how would I ls  home and it's sub folders?
[22:17] <lock> what you guys think is the best irc client for ubunto?
[22:17] <sebsebseb> konversation
[22:17] <Chousuke> sebsebseb: ls -R
[22:17] <eseven73> konversation
[22:17] <guntbert> fx3_: well all routers I know (all 3 ;-)) have the option to configure what is sent out via dhcp
[22:17] <Huufarted> !xchat | lock
[22:17] <Chousuke> irssi :P
[22:17] <Huufarted> bah...  lock, use XChat
[22:17] <sebsebseb> xchat LOL  Konversation :)
[22:17] <Swiatecki> Can anyone help me whit this, im stuck ? :) http://www.swiatechs.com/error.txt
[22:18] <Failasaur> fx3_: maybe not. What does that server use as a dnsserver ?
[22:18] <billisnice> will 8.04 have ext4 ver 8.04.2?
[22:18] <billisnice> 8.04.3
[22:18] <fx3_> probably the router
[22:18] <lock> tnx im using xchat now
[22:19] <Failasaur> fx3_: i mean, what does your router use as dnsserver, and what does your linuxbox use as a dnsserver ?
[22:19] <danfg> hey guys, i just did apt-get build-dep php5 and it installed a big load of packages. is there an easy way to remove them all?
[22:19] <sebsebseb> Chousuke: thanks a lot and it's fun to watch the terminal do it,  I got a lot of stuff in there
[22:19] <deany> lock,  xchat,
[22:19] <Huufarted> Swiatecki, your error pasting is very courteous preventing flooding, however I'm going to give you an easier alternative:  http://paste.ubuntu.com
[22:19] <msikma> hmm.
[22:19] <Failasaur> fx3_: they can't just use each other in a loop
[22:19] <fx3_> router uses my ISP's DNS servers, and linux box uses my router's IP for DNS
[22:19] <msikma> Can anyone tell me how I mount a floppy in the command line? /dev/fd0 doesn't seem to exist.
[22:20] <Chousuke> msikma: wow, I haven't even seen a floppy in years :)
[22:20] <fx3_> im thinking if hosts requrst DNS from the router, which in turn requests DNS from the linux server, which in turn requests DNS from my ISP
[22:20] <fx3_> that way i only need to configure 2 places.
[22:20] <deany> not what your wife said..
[22:20] <zleap> msikma, do you have a mount point for it
[22:20] <deany> sorry, it was begging
[22:20] <msikma> Chousuke: neither has Linux, most likely
[22:20] <zleap> /mnt/floppy or /media/floppy
[22:20] <Davedan> which package do I need for eclipse? I can see several packages named 'eclipse' on the package manager
[22:20] <deany> nah, no floppy since pc 486
[22:20] <msikma> zleap: well, I made /media/floppy but have nothing to mount on it
[22:20] <Failasaur> fx3_: you could do that.
[22:21] <zleap> hmm
[22:21] <zleap> nothing in /dev
[22:21] <msikma> Anything else I can look for except fd0, 1, n
[22:21] <msikma> ?
[22:21] <fx3_> but what sort of DNS stuff should be running on the linux box? whats the simplest setup?
[22:21] <soreau> Can anyone tell me the name of the program that is the PDF viewer on ubuntu?
[22:21] <fx3_> named sounds like something id want
[22:21] <lock> fx3 bind
[22:21] <Chousuke> msikma: the floppy driver might not be loaded.
[22:21] <zleap> hmm i have nothing in fstab either
[22:21] <Royall> Augh I pressed Super + R
[22:22] <msikma> Chousuke: do I need to modprobe something?
[22:22] <Royall> It made everything blurry
[22:22] <Royall> And zoomed in
[22:22] <Royall> How do I reset it
[22:22] <Failasaur> fx3_: a nameserver install. They usually install defaults to a cache nameserver
[22:22] <Huufarted> soreau: the default viewer is "File Viewer"
[22:22] <eseven73> soreau: there is Adobe PDF reader for ubuntu
[22:22] <Failasaur> fx3: but that machine should be able to reach your isp-s namserver
[22:22] <soreau> Yes, I want to know the name of the binary
[22:22] <glitsj16> danfg: look at http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Debian/2006-11/msg02561.html for one possible way to remove build-dep installed packages
[22:22] <soreau> Huufarted: eseven73: I want to know what it's called in /usr/bin
[22:23] <Chousuke> msikma: I really can't remember.
[22:23] <rapina> Hi people, someone knows where can i can informations about the installation of Wireless board Broadcom 4322G ?
[22:23] <skorasaurus> !nic
[22:23] <eseven73> soreau: ah, that i dont know sorry :)
[22:23] <fx3> Failasaur, if i could draw a little picture everything could be clear
[22:23] <soreau> Ok, let me restate the question more completely then
[22:24] <danfg> glitsj16: thanks :)
[22:24] <guntbert> soreau: in terminal type "apropos pdf"
[22:24] <sobersabre> hi.
[22:24] <jrib> AndryZ: crc checks are built into 7z
[22:24] <msikma> hmm.
[22:24] <Failasaur> fx3: you'd need a cache nameserver. Get bind installed
[22:24] <glitsj16> danfg: very welcome, had in my bookmarks :)
[22:24] <Chousuke> msikma: ah, right. there's also the mtools package
[22:24] <sobersabre> Is there any ubuntu shipped tool to create a FULL (stage 1 I think) system backup ?
[22:24] <msikma> mtools
[22:24] <msikma> I'll see if I can get that
[22:25] <Chousuke> should be in the repos
[22:25] <Chousuke> http://www.mtools.linux.lu/
[22:25] <Droopsta915> Why do I have to put my volume all the way up to the mid point to start hearing audio? The mid point should be pretty loud.
[22:25] <spaceBARbarian> should i have a swap if i am installing ubuntu as a VBOX guest ?
[22:25] <Royall> Anyone?
[22:25] <Royall> This is totally weird
[22:26] <saajo> Ahoj, je tu někdo kdo nespí a mohl by mi odpovědět?
[22:26] <ivnrca> where can i find a program to format usb stick in ubuntu8.10
[22:26] <Failasaur> spaceBARbarian: vbox is one of the virtualisation options ?
[22:26] <ivnrca> witout terminal
[22:27] <skorasaurus> hi, my nm-applet does not appear, i verified that it's enabled in the sessions configuration, and restarted gdm.
[22:27] <Droopsta915> ivnrca: what do want to do, what do you mean format?
[22:27] <sebsebseb> Chousuke: that didn't quite work to  list a folder and the contents of it's sub folders hummm
[22:27] <ivnrca> erase all the data
[22:27] <Royall> Augh guys I really need help
[22:27] <chu_> Ask Royall
[22:27] <sebsebseb> with?
[22:28] <Royall> I pressed Super + R
[22:28] <Royall> And it zoomed in and made everything blurry and I can't get it back
[22:28] <Droopsta915> ivnrca:you cant right click and get the refoemat option?
[22:28] <spaceBARbarian> Failasaur: yeah
[22:28] <ifroog> Question, How to change qt themes from gnome?
[22:28] <chu_> Royall, compiz?
[22:28] <Droopsta915> Why do I have to put my volume all the way up to the mid point to start hearing audio? The mid point should be pretty loud.
[22:28] <Huufarted> Royall:  Windows Key + Scroll Wheel on mouse
[22:28] <eseven73> royall did you try Super+Middle mouse ?
[22:28] <Royall> It doesn't seem to be doing anything
[22:28] <spaceBARbarian> does anyonne know if i should or shouldnt use a swap when installing ubuntu on VBOX ?
[22:29] <gaintsura> I got up this morning and saw that there were new updates. I started running them about an hour ago. (it was only 6-7 packages). Now when I try to install anything (even when it was doing the upgrade itself I get this: http://chriswalker.elementfx.com/irc/broken_system.png how can I fix this?
[22:29] <Huufarted> Droopsta915, double-click the volume icon and set the Alsa Mixer
[22:29] <Royall> chu_: yes
[22:29] <snadge> how do i make the sound in firefox use my usb headset instead of the built in speaker?
[22:29] <ivnrca> im not sure, ill try it. thanks. can u help me to repair the sound in wolfestein enemy territory?
[22:29] <Failasaur> spaceBARbarian: i'd say it would need swap. It would know little of the virtualisation and will seek to manage memory on it's own. Unless vbox says you don't need it as it will handle the swap requests.
[22:29] <Droopsta915> spacebarbarian: I would treat the guest as a real machine, so yes I would have some swap space
[22:30] <ivnrca> http://paste.ubuntu.com/119452/
[22:30] <chu_> Royall, do you have ccsm installed?
[22:30] <Royall> Not sure-- what does it stand for?
[22:30] <Royall> I think I may
[22:30] <ivnrca> thanks
[22:30] <chu_> Ergh, spotty internet today. Not fun.
[22:31] <eseven73> !ccms
[22:31] <eseven73> !ccsm
[22:31] <Royall> Yea I think I have that
[22:31] <glitsj16> ifroog: have you seen packages qt"-qtconfig and qt4-qtconfig ? both can do what you want (for qt3 and qt4 apps respectively)
[22:31] <soreau> Huufarted eseven73 guntbert It was evince. Thanks for your help though
[22:31] <Huufarted> compiz rocks
[22:31] <Huufarted> evince?
[22:31] <Droopsta915> Huufarted: I have it set to ati ixp (alsa Mixer). Should I change it?
[22:31] <glitsj16> ifrrog: that's qt3-qtconfig, correction
[22:31] <eseven73> soreau well i prefere Adobe Reader ;P
[22:31] <Huufarted> Droopsta915, how are the mixer levels set in there?
[22:32] <Royall> Oh there we go
[22:32] <soreau> eseven73: That doesn't answer the question I asked, but anyway
[22:32] <Royall> It was the Advanced Desktop Zoom
[22:32] <Huufarted> Why is that button called "Super"?
[22:32] <Royall> I dunno
[22:32] <shunter> It's thuper
[22:32] <Royall> Someone yestersay said to hit Super M
[22:32] <Royall> Which was cool
[22:32] <Royall> Super is the Windows key fo rme
[22:32] <Royall> for me*
[22:33] <Huufarted> same, Royall.
[22:33] <eseven73> soreau yeah I know sorry :(   but at least now we know what the binary is thanks :)
[22:33] <Droopsta915> Huufarted: I tryed different combos, right now the PCM is all the way up.
[22:33] <tlanfer> althoug i disabled everything about screensaver i could find, after 30 minutes my screen goes black. Did search the settings, did xset -dpms, couldnt find anything anywhere. Anyone ideas how to disable this behaviour?
[22:33] <Huufarted> Droopsta915, I had the same issue and maxing the mixer levels worked for me.  Sorry.
[22:33] <Brandano> can someone help me troubleshoot a VNC connection through an SSH tunnel? I got the tunnel working fine, my problem seems to be at my end of the link
[22:33] <jcase> if i have openssh-server setup, and the system reboots while im out of town, i should still beable to ssh in right?
[22:34] <Droopsta915> Huufarted: Would ati ixp alsa Mixer be the best thing to use?
[22:34] <eseven73> what would it reboot by itself?
[22:34] <soreau> eseven73: Is Adobe Reader included in ubuntu repos btw, and if so what's the package name?
[22:34] <jcase> its called a 3yr old
[22:34] <Jockeo> I'm running Gutsy Gibbon. Is it safe to enable "gutsy-backports" and install newer versions of several applications? (Or are backported applications more buggy?)
[22:34] <Brandano> jcase: as long as it's on the same IP and the SSH service was set up to start, yes
[22:34] <jcase> heh
[22:34] <Huufarted> droopsta915, not sure.  I wouldn't have the best situation for you since that one didn't work.
[22:34] <notwist> jcase: ssh starts when the computer is booted so yes
[22:34] <Brandano> eseven73: power cycle?
[22:34] <jcase> Bthanks
[22:34] <Huufarted> Brandano:  check your private messages
[22:34] <notwist> jcase: if the tree year old doesnt shut the computer off obviously
[22:34] <Tyr> Hello I am a Ubuntu and Linux Nooby.. need help with something quite basic..
[22:35] <jcase> notwist, well i can have someone  turn it on if he does
[22:35] <notwist> !ask | Tyr
[22:35] <jcase> but i dont want someone to log in
[22:35] <Tyr> ah
[22:35] <eseven73> soreau I seriously doubt it, I think it' is in the !medibuntu repos though
[22:35] <notwist> jcase: no need. even if nobody logs in ssh daemon should start when the boot process is complete
[22:35] <soreau> eseven73: Ok. Thanks for the suggestion
[22:35] <eseven73> !medibuntu > soreau
[22:35] <jcase> ok
[22:35] <jcase> thats what i wanted to make sure of
[22:35] <notwist> jcase: just for security however you should configure your firewall to drop ssh traffic from certain ips
[22:36] <jcase> notwist, i dont know what ip i would be connectio nfrom
[22:36] <ivnrca> my problem is no sound in wolfestein enemy territory, this is my terminal log http://paste.ubuntu.com/119452/
[22:36] <IntuitiveNipple> gaintsura: Where did you get python-wxgtk 2.8 2.8.9.2-0? That package has a syntax error but that isn't an Ubuntu archive package version.
[22:36] <notwist> jcase: having an ssh server open towards the internet can be a bad thing
[22:36] <jcase> i know its not real security, but i have it on a random high number port, should keep most scanners away
[22:36] <soreau> eseven73: I have chosen to use xpdf, I was just curious if canonical would put any adobe stuff in the ubuntu repos ;)
[22:36] <notwist> jcase: well you could have the ssh firewall enabled most of the time and just disable it when you travel then
[22:36] <notwist> jcase: thats something :)
[22:36] <jcase> i do
[22:37] <jcase> i have my router block the port
[22:37] <fx3> IntuitiveNipple, oh while im building bind, i wanted to ask another networking question. say i have dyndns configured. and i would like a subdomain to point to a whole different server inside my network, is it possible?
[22:37] <LightKnight> Hi there. Anyone knows about http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org/ ?
[22:37] <mac9416> I want to make a gnome panel applet with python. I asked for help here earlier, just to be pointed to #python. Tried to join python, but I get an error saying I must be identified. I AM identified! A little help?
[22:37] <jcase> i plan to turn port forwarding for it on when i leave for my short trips
[22:37] <Tyr> well, My mates puter is not connected to the internet and he needs his Rhythmbox upgraded to play some codes for MP3 etc. Now i downloaded gstream (gstream extra plugin and the mpeg plugin) archive files for him, copied them to his computer but can't get them installed... HELP
[22:37] <Tyr> codecs**
[22:37] <soreau> mac9416: Ask in #freenode to make sure you're identified correctly
[22:37] <gaintsura> IntuitiveNipple: it was a dependency of something I installed, don't remember what, it was some time ago
[22:38] <eseven73> soreau lets hope they don't, It's nice to be able to be free of licensing at least once and a while :)
[22:38] <fx3> LightKnight, yea i know about it, use it every day, its awesome, how can i help you?
[22:38] <IntuitiveNipple> gaintsura: Well it appears to have a syntax error in the file, as the error-report shows, so you'll need to fix that.
[22:39] <LightKnight> fx3: Booting from the CD, I'm dropped to an initramfs prompt where there's colse to nothing. What now?
[22:39] <LightKnight> *close to
[22:39] <eseven73> soreau and free from bloat too haha!  sorry im off topic shutting up now ...
[22:39] <fx3> LightKnight, thats where do you your magic. what are you trying to do?
[22:39] <gaintsura> IntuitiveNipple: indeed, I'll be fixing it locally, but I'm not a python guy, and the guys in #python pointed me at #wxwidgets.. so I'm there now..
[22:39] <fx3> LightKnight, eh, hold on, initramfs??
[22:39] <LightKnight> fx3: recover data from an almost-died HD (it's a laptop).
[22:39] <LightKnight> fx3: yeah, initramfs.
[22:40] <mac9416> soreu: Thanks.
[22:40] <IntuitiveNipple> fx3: subdomain host would only be possible if the router forwards all expected ports to the target server
[22:40] <LightKnight> fx3: no ddrescue, no photorec, no utilities, nothing.
[22:41] <fx3> LightKnight, hmm, looks like your laptop isnt booting it properly here is a thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=591746
[22:41] <LightKnight> fx3: tries to mount the HD, utterly fails, drops me in nowhere land.
[22:41] <fx3> IntuitiveNipple, like a DMZ?
[22:41] <LightKnight> fx3: thank you, let's see...
[22:41] <jonaskoelker> could someone please tell me the IP address of trial.thepiratebay.org?
[22:42] <jonaskoelker> nvm, got it elsewhere
[22:42] <IntuitiveNipple> gaintsura: Okay... it looks like they've tried to use the relative form incorrectly: "from" relative_module "import" identifier
[22:42] <LightKnight> fx3: shouldn't it boot from CD entirely?
[22:42] <IntuitiveNipple> fx3: Well, a DMZ routes everything to the target.
[22:43] <fx3> LightKnight, theoretically it should almost always be fine from CD, but maybe you have some problem with hardware too
[22:43] <fx3> best bet is to put the harddrive in another more stable computer
[22:43] <fx3> LightKnight, if the laptop has bad ram that could have destroyed your harddrive easily
[22:43] <LightKnight> fx3: oh.
[22:43] <Sal__> anyone have any experience setting up nameservers with bind ?
[22:44] <LightKnight> fx3: Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 0
[22:44] <ivnrca> wolfestein enemy territory (no sound) http://paste.ubuntu.com/119452/
[22:44] <LightKnight> fx3: and several DriveSeekStatus (or something) errors.
[22:44] <fx3> Sal__, lol, im trying to do the same thing
[22:44] <Sal__> fx3 your trying to setup host nameservers?
[22:44] <Tyr> how do i install downloaded codecs to a stand-alone linux puter? (is it even possible?)
[22:44] <fx3> Sal__, just compiled bind, trying to give my LAN ips propper dns names
[22:45] <Sal__> heh
[22:45] <guntbert> fx3: Sal__ setting up name servers is a bit beyond the topic of this channel :)
[22:45] <Brandano> Tyr: Well... not with the standard repositories, not the straight win32 codecs, and if you are on a 64 bit box some codecs might not be available... other than that google "mplayer" and "medibuntu"
[22:45] <Huufarted> cron question:  Am I correct in assuming 'sudo' is never needed when being executed through cron?
[22:46] <Failasaur> you can't install bind with sudo apt-get install bind9   ?
[22:46] <Sal__> guntbert theres nowhere else to go for help ;l
[22:46] <Sal__> and im on ubuntu
[22:46] <Sal__> brb trying something
[22:46] <Sal__> anyone know how i can change the hostname of my box?
[22:46] <Tyr> guess they are players that include the necessary codecs to play anything
[22:46] <guntbert> Sal__: ask in ##networking
[22:46] <soreau> LightKnight: What is the output of grep -R -i snddevice ~/.etwolf/etmain/etconfig.cfg
[22:46] <Huufarted> !google | Sal__
[22:46] <geirha> Huufarted: Correct, sudo is not needed in cron's root.
[22:47] <rww> !hostname | Sal__
[22:47] <LightKnight> soreau: uhm?
[22:47] <Huufarted> geirha, how do I set up root's cron instead of the default user's cron?
[22:47] <geirha> Huufarted: and if you think you need it in your user's cron, then you should instead use root's cron :)
[22:47] <soreau> LightKnight: If it says 'uhm?' something is very wrong
[22:47] <geirha> Huufarted: crontab -e # your cron.   sudo crontab -e # root's cron
[22:47] <Tyr> open source and google is todays solution for a lot of programmers today, isn't it :-p
[22:47] <LightKnight> Sorcererbob: no, no, wait a bit... I'm booting the thing :)
[22:47] <fx3> LightKnight, i think that wasnt for you
[22:48] <LightKnight> fx3: I thought so, thus I asked :)
[22:48] <Huufarted> Thanks, geirha.  I'm setting up an automated rsync session, that's all.  In order to mount an smb, it needs to be done under root as far as I can tell.
[22:48] <fx3> LightKnight, its crazily busy on here all day
[22:48] <LightKnight> fx3: I see :-)
[22:48] <geirha> Huufarted: You can add an entry for that mount in fstab, and allow regular users to mount it
[22:48] <AnAcReOn> Hello
[22:48] <Brandano> Tyr mplayer is a media player that will play almost anything, and it will manage to use several win32 codecs. However, the codecs can't be packaged with Ubuntu, mainly for licensing reasons
[22:49] <Sal__> in my /etc/hosts file it has: 216.75.63.173   mydomain.com       ubuntu863173
[22:49] <fx3> LightKnight, can you put the HD in some other PC?
[22:49] <Sal__> what is the ubuntu863173 ?
[22:49] <Tyr> ok, thanks :-)
[22:49] <Sal__> alias ?
[22:49] <fx3> LightKnight, if you cant run memtest of rescue remix CD
[22:49] <fx3> if you cant, run memtest*
[22:49] <fx3> comma makes all the difference
[22:49] <soreau> LightKnight: It was for you and my nick isn't Sorcererbob
[22:49] <Brandano> Tyr: however, explaining mplayer could take a bit too long. It has its own channel, ask there
[22:49] <domz> Anybody know what program controls digital camera's being plugged in by USB (ie when I plug in my iPhone). I want to get it (or something similar) on ubuntu
[22:49] <LightKnight> fx3: It's a laptop, I'm not very clever on those :(
[22:49] <Sal__> ubottu ?
[22:49] <Sal__> err rww* i mean
[22:50] <Failasaur> fx3: Sal__: You'll need the wisdom here  http://tldp.org/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO-5.html
[22:50] <LightKnight> soreau: damn tab :) OK, I'm booting and then report :)
[22:50] <fx3> LightKnight, when you boot rescue remix type memtest at boot: prompt and leave it running for at least 1 pass
[22:50] <Sal__> thanks Fail
[22:50] <Sal__> hey fail any idea on the /etc/hosts ?
[22:50] <nibsa1242b> how can I improve ( or a least test ) disk write speed to a USB flash drive?
[22:50] <Tyr> ok... next question: how do i install software (like mplayer) without a connection to the internet
[22:50] <Failasaur> Sal__: what about them ?
[22:51] <Sal__> my /etc/hosts file has : 216.75.63.173   mydomain.com       ubuntu863173
[22:51] <fx3> Failasaur, thanks, assimilating =)
[22:51] <Sal__> what is ubuntu863173 ?
[22:51] <Sal__> an alias ? can i remove it?
[22:51] <LightKnight> fx3: oh, OK :)
[22:51] <Huufarted> Tyr, I don't understand what you mean.  What is this "without a connection to the internet" you speak of?  :)
[22:51] <Brandano> Sal__: the hosts file maps ip's to hostnames. It's one of the names that will resolve to that ip
[22:51] <Sal__> so its an alias brandano ?
[22:51] <Brandano> should be, yes. Just try pinging it
[22:51] <Tyr> its a stand alone computer. the wireless ethernet card is not connected to any network or the www
[22:52] <Tyr> i do have another computer with internet access however
[22:52] <Huufarted> rsync question for anybody that knows.  sudo rsync -rltDvh --delete /media/atom1_media/Music/ /music   <-- will this command ensure a mirrored copy of the directory mounted to /media/atom1_media/Music?
[22:52] <Brandano> Tyr: itt's a pretty pointless wireless card, then
[22:52] <chu_> Tyr, Synaptic has a cache, it doesn't *need* an internet connection if you can store the packages in the cache. Find out what package you need..
[22:52] <LightKnight> fx3: OK, running...
[22:52] <Sal__> ok so after i change all this
[22:52] <gaintsura> IntuitiveNipple: right... I see that too, but again, asking for help in python and wxwidgets left me with no response
[22:52] <Sal__> i should just restart inetd ?
[22:52] <geirha> Tyr: In synaptic, find the package, mark it for install, then at the top-left menu you can choose to create a download script that will download all needed packages
[22:52] <billybigrigger_\> anyone here play wolf:et or true combate elite?
[22:52] <chu_> Just wait, I'm finding the location of the cahe for you.
[22:52] <rhys> Huufarted: I suggest using unison, not rsync wiehn dealing with music.
[22:52] <chu_> cache*
[22:52] <KronK0321> Hi, I've got what I believe to be an xorg.conf problem on an old IBM i Series Thinkpad. I get a black screen whenever I try to launch X. This happens for both Gnome and now Xfce as well.
[22:53] <fx3> LightKnight, if there aren any major ram problems you should see errors raking in quickly
[22:53] <Failasaur> Sal__: to what i know /etc/hosts editing works right away
[22:53] <Huufarted> rhys, I would but the other machine is a WindowsXP machine and I can't get Unison to work that way.  May I ask why Unison over rsync?
[22:53] <billybigrigger_\> i keep getting kicked by punkbuster saying violation #20004 game integrity
[22:53] <geirha> Tyr: you might also want to look at aptoncd
[22:53] <Brandano> It does so on Win32, I'd find it odd if it didn't on a real OS
[22:53] <chu_> Tyr, check out /var/cache/apt/archives to see what is there.
[22:53] <Tyr> ok
[22:53] <Sal__> heh im logged in and its still showing up user@oldmask
[22:53] <meoblast> hi
[22:53] <Sal__> guess i need to relogin ?
[22:54] <guntbert> !who | Sal__
[22:54] <B1OS> how can i view a files permissions at the terminal?
[22:54] <fx3> LightKnight, have you read that thread i posted?
[22:54] <Tyr> kk
[22:54] <guntbert> B1OS: ls -l
[22:54] <georgy_28> B10S, : ls -l file
[22:54] <Huufarted> Sal__: Have you tried a reboot?
[22:55] <georgy_28> burn
[22:55] <LightKnight> fx3: it's rather long, I've got it still under hand :)
[22:55] <thedoc^> Hi, I have a laptop and want to dual boot. I read through the faq but have some questions . I already installed XP on laptop (10gb) I have 20gb free - I am in the manual partition setup now. I wanted 10gb free for ubuntu / 2gb for swap / and remainder for a shared folder for xp and ubuntu - I'm not sure on the order needed - right now i have
[22:55] <rhys> Huufarted: unison does a space/time trade off. It stores 500kb (for me) against my 50GB of music, and can synchronize both ways in a very short amount of time. Syncing from a windows machine never seems to work, as rsync can only check for a) timestamps which seem to be wrong and b) checksums which takes forever with alot of music. So rsync has a habit of transfering everything or nothing.
[22:55] <ivnrca> i need wolfet help, no sound problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/119452/   thanks
[22:55] <Sal__> Failasaur: its still the old hostname :(
[22:55] <fx3> LightKnight, most of it you can ignore since they are talking about booting the OS from disk
[22:55] <Sal__> user@ubuntu863173
[22:55] <B1OS> guntbert: thanks
[22:55] <spatry> mpeg
[22:55] <Sal__> failasaur: event after i relogin :(
[22:55] <Jufis> this is interesting
[22:55] <Failasaur> Sal__: you mean the prompt ?
[22:55] <Sal__> yes
[22:55] <guntbert> B1OS: yw
[22:56] <meoblast> hi
[22:56] <meoblast> i need some help
[22:56] <Failasaur> Sal__: cat /etc/hostname
[22:56] <Jufis> the system clock says its 12:55 AM. how is this possible? shouldn't it say 00:55 AM?
[22:56] <chu_> hey meoblast
[22:56] <LightKnight> fx3: ok
[22:56] <meoblast> how do you make a new screen in screen?
[22:56] <Tyr> Thedoc, i liked installing Ubuntu from windows myself very much since all the other complete install options from the cd-boot seemed pretty destructive to my primary windows partition
[22:56] <Huufarted> rhys: I can't seem to get Unison to work when pulling data from the XP machine to my Linux box.
[22:56] <ikonia> meoblast: not a good idea
[22:56] <chu_> Ctrl+Alt<Fx>
[22:56] <ikonia> meoblast: don't embed screens
[22:56] <chu_> Where x is 1 - 6?
[22:56] <meoblast> ikonia: no i mean.. i need a new window
[22:56] <Sal__> Failasaur: it's mydomain.com
[22:56] <fx3> LightKnight, ahh yea, its because the windows didnt shut down properly i thinks, sounds wierd but read last 2 pages
[22:56] <Huufarted> rhys:  I'm really just wanting to mirror what's on my server, only updating what's on my laptop
[22:56] <rhys> meoblast: ctrl+a c
[22:56] <Sal__> it was the ubuntu0000
[22:56] <ikonia> meoblast: gnome-terminal
[22:57] <ikonia> Sal__: ?
[22:57] <meoblast> rhys: that did nothing
[22:57] <meoblast> ok nevermind
[22:57] <meoblast> i got it
[22:57] <rhys> meoblast: :)
[22:57] <Sal__> Failasure: I changed /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts both to use mydomain.com, but the prompt still comes up the user@ubuntu0000
[22:57] <meoblast> now how do i switch windows in irssi
[22:57] <geirha> meoblast: alt+number
[22:57] <fx3> Sal__, you have to relogin
[22:58] <Sal__> fx3: i did
[22:58] <Sal__> fx3: no change
[22:58] <thedoc^> should i have the prepare partitions like this: sda1(ntfs) is my XP / sda5(ext3) is my swap 2gb / sda6(ext3) is where ubuntu install goes? / sda7 - should i put this to ext3 or FAT32 if i want both OS's to see folder?
[22:58] <fx3> Sal__, did you change it with command 'sudo hostname <hostname>'
[22:58] <rhys> Huufarted: rdiff-backup maybe? i just find rsync can only fix files that exist on one but not the other, but when you go to update ID3 tags, it cant tell.
[22:58] <Tyr> Ubuntu can work with NTFS :-D
[22:58] <fx3> that will change it at runtime
[22:58] <ikonia> Tyr: it is not advisable to install ubuntu to ntfs
[22:58] <Sal__> fx3: if i type hostname, it returns my domain
[22:58] <fx3> what is your new hostname?
[22:58] <meoblast> ok..... now how do i get that program up where i can disable programs from startup?
[22:58] <IntuitiveNipple> gaintsura: I stay as far away from python as possible, but...
[22:58] <Failasaur> Sal__: that hostname command above might do it
[22:58] <ikonia> Sal__: hostname returns your hostname
[22:58] <Sal__> fx3: mydomain.com
[22:58] <ifroog> Question, How to change qt themes from gnome?
[22:58] <Tyr> erm, i installed to NTFS using the "install from windows" option
[22:58] <Sal__> Failasaur: just tried it, no change :l
[22:58] <chu_> meoblast, find sessions?
[22:59] <fx3> Sal__, then type 'sudo hostname mydomain.com'
[22:59] <Huufarted> rhys, so if I update the ID3 tags, it won't update that modified file back to my Ubuntu box the next time I rsync?
[22:59] <ikonia> Tyr: ahh wubi
[22:59] <Tyr> i know
[22:59] <chu_> meoblast, System->Preferences perhaps.
[22:59] <soreau> thedoc^: The file system doesn't matter too much.. xp can r/w ext3 and linux can r/w ntfs
[22:59] <tangentcollision> I never use sudo
[22:59] <Tyr> newb me
[22:59] <tangentcollision> sudo is such a security hazard
[22:59] <IntuitiveNipple> gaintsura: According to this link the relative form .. was introduced in 2.5 but I note that the error is in 2.4 (http://docs.python.org/tutorial/modules.html#intra-package-references)
[22:59] <Sal__> fx3: already did, no change
[22:59] <soreau> thedoc^: Probably better to stick with ntfs and ext3
[22:59] <Huufarted> soreau: How do I get my XP box to r/w ext3?
[22:59] <soreau> Huufarted:)
[22:59] <guntbert> tangentcollision: ??
[22:59] <fx3> and logout after that too?
[22:59] <soreau> Huufarted: Google it, there is a driver
[22:59] <chu_> what's wrong with sudo?
[22:59] <tangentcollision> guntbert: su is a lot more secure
[23:00] <ivnrca> cya guys, ill try to get help later. thanks. http://paste.ubuntu.com/119452/
[23:00] <Huufarted> soreau, checking for it now.
[23:00] <ikonia> tangentcollision: please don't talk nonsense
[23:00] <Bamboon> lol yeah no joke ..
[23:00] <ikonia> tangentcollision: they both use the same authentication library
[23:00] <tangentcollision> sudo lets you run scripts as root reguardless of what they are
[23:00] <rhys> Huufarted: It will check the time stamps, and between windows/linux I have not had good luck with that. I feel like I have been doing something wrong, but I have never been able to get that to work. You cant check by checksums. So unison works much much better.
[23:00] <guntbert> tangentcollision: thats simply not true
[23:00] <meoblast> chu_: no i need to disable gdm
[23:00] <LightKnight> fx3: no errors in memtest by now...
[23:00] <ikonia> tangentcollision: please - if you don't understand the words you are saying - don't speak
[23:00] <meoblast> how do i disable GDM?
[23:00] <tangentcollision> sudo devs advise against it
[23:00] <ikonia> tangentcollision: it is not nice to miss-lead people
[23:00] <rhys> tangentcollision: there is an admin group.
[23:01] <Huufarted> Rhys, what if the windows share is mounted locally on Ubuntu?  Does that not work, either?
[23:01] <Bamboon> lol good stuff
[23:01] <chu_> meoblast, there should be an option to load gdm, it should be the last "process" in the sessions screen.
[23:01] <callerten> Is it possible to automatically answer or disable the 'key fingerprint' prompt for ssh?
[23:01] <Huufarted> rhys, or does it still not translate the modified times properly?
[23:01] <B1OS> how would you chowm of /var/www/php.php (just the file php.php) ?
[23:01] <rhys> Huufarted: expecially there. I tried.
[23:01] <fx3> LightKnight, i dont know, im not experienced enough. youll have to wait till one of the more experienced people can answer this question
[23:01] <tangentcollision> okay, so call my opinion a fallaxy
[23:01] <tangentcollision> fallacy
[23:01] <meoblast> chu_: i remember this being possible via CLI
[23:01] <geirha> meoblast: man update-rc.d
[23:01] <LightKnight> fx3: OK, thank you for now :)
[23:01] <Brandano> Huufarted: got it working! I had the wrong loopback address in my tunnel settings
[23:01] <Huufarted> rhys, well then I'll let you know what I find.  I'll try and get Unison working again.
[23:01] <Huufarted> Congrats, Brandano.  :)
[23:01] <chu_> meoblast, most probably :p
[23:01] <Failasaur> B10S: sudo chown user:group  /var/www/php.php
[23:01] <gaintsura> IntuitiveNipple: would adding the python2.5 package help or do I need to remove 2.4 first?
[23:01] <rhys> Huufarted: unison is sweet for me.
[23:02] <fx3> LightKnight, it might possibly has something to do with either your architecture 32 bit, 64bit or what they are talking about in the forum thread, vista not properly shut down
[23:02] <Huufarted> Rhys, do you use it on your Linux machine to pull from XP?
[23:02] <meoblast> geirha: i remember there being an interface with checkboxes i could uncheck
[23:02] <meoblast> geirha: 8 per program
[23:02] <rhys> Huufarted: all linux. sorry. i don't use windows at all.
[23:02] <LightKnight> fx3: It's Windows XP, don't think it's a 64.
[23:02] <IntuitiveNipple> rhys: With rsync you can use checksum comparisons using -c
[23:02] <Sal__> err
[23:02] <Sal__> fx3: now its coming up user@alias
[23:02] <Sal__> fx3: instead of user@mydomain.com
[23:03] <rhys> IntuitiveNipple: i know that, and it takes forever and is idiotic to do each sync with 50gbs of music files.
[23:03] <thedoc^> soreau - okay does the order of the swap file matter? i have it like : sda1(ntfs)34% xp is on here sda5(ext3) 6% is my swap file(2gb) sda6(ext3) 33%(ubuntu) sda7(ext3) 25% for both OS's i guess... i set up no mount points - and selected "logical" and "beginning" is this ok?
[23:03] <Huufarted> rhys, yeah.  That's the dilemma for me.  If I had an extra Terabyte HDD floating around, I'd install Ubuntu on it and move everything to that.
[23:03] <fx3> Sal__, what happends when you type just hostname?
[23:03] <Huufarted> but I don't
[23:03] <meoblast> geirha: i know about the patience and me needing to be patient but i have to leave soon and this is urgent i have gdm disabled
[23:03] <Sal__> shows mydomain.com
[23:03] <Failasaur> Sal__: find where you put that alias word and edit it ?
[23:03] <Sal__> Fail: i just did
[23:03] <rhys> Huufarted: 5 harddrives, ~2TB on that machine
[23:03] <geirha> meoblast: Can't remember seeing any program like that I'm afraid
[23:03] <fx3> Sal__, are you sure your prompt is set correctly?
[23:03] <Davedan> in what path should I put eclipse on ubuntu?
[23:03] <Sal__> pretty sure
[23:03] <meoblast> geirha: no one ever told me i could only s witch between 2 windows in screen at a time
[23:03] <soreau> thedoc^: The ordering does not matter from a technical standpoint. But, some take their partitioning scheming almost as an art form ;)
[23:04] <meoblast> eos anyone know of the program that i can use to disable GDM?
[23:04] <IntuitiveNipple> gaintsura: I'm not sure, if you've got a set of site-packages in 2.4 - the key issue looks to be that that python-wxgtk-2.8 includes 2.5 specific syntax. You could try installing your python apps to 2.5 and using 2.5 as your default, but I'm not sure how that would affect whatever you use them for
[23:04] <ikonia> meoblast: disable the init script
[23:04] <B1OS> Failasaur: do i leave the group as is?
[23:04] <meoblast> ikonia: how?
[23:04] <ikonia> meoblast: update-rc.d or remove the script
[23:04] <Sal__> heh now its stuck on the alias
[23:04] <Sal__> ugh so aggrivating ;l
[23:04] <geirha> meoblast: google suggests services-admin
[23:05] <meoblast> geirha: i'll try that
[23:05] <B1OS> Failasaur: and change user to my user
[23:05] <Failasaur> B10S: if you want to leave it as is then just  sudo chown user  /var/www/php.php
[23:05] <IntuitiveNipple> rhys: Ahh sorry, from the fragments of what I saw you say I thought your problem was not trusting time-stamps :)
[23:05] <georgy_28> thedoc^, : and windows can't read ext3, will be beter in fat or ntfs
[23:05] <meoblast> as soon as retarded screen will let me get to my third screen
[23:05] <jhonnyboy> I have no system sound, but i can hear all the other sound(movies, youtube, etc...) Does anyone know why this would be happening?
[23:05] <enriquei> Is there a way I can run the network install from a normal ubuntu servfer install cd?
[23:05] <IntuitiveNipple> rhys: I used rsync -c recently to track down corruption in a 160GB transfer
[23:05] <B1OS> Failasaur: thanks
[23:06] <meoblast> screen sucks
[23:06] <kivod> georgy_28, yes it can, but with a driver
[23:06] <enriquei> kind of like using the expert param?
[23:06] <Failasaur> B10S: np
[23:06] <geirha> meoblast: and rcconf seems to be a console equivalent
[23:06] <meoblast> control A only switches between 2 screens at a time
[23:06] <meoblast> and control a + number fails
[23:06] <georgy_28> kivod, : ok
[23:06] <rhys> IntuitiveNipple: yea, just found rsync not to be the best for music. timestamps are never right. OHHH. I just realized why Huufarted. defaults for most drives are "relatime" or similar.
[23:06] <guntbert> meoblast: ctrl a n
[23:06] <meoblast> guntbert: the letter n?
[23:06] <joerack> hello
[23:06] <Huufarted> gotcha, Rhys.  Didn't think about that.
[23:07] <rhys> Huufarted: maybe. I never remember, and i use NTFS,JFS,EXT3, and Reiser...so I never remember.
[23:07] <joerack> Does anybody know how to install skype 3 on linux?
[23:07] <geirha> meoblast: screen works nicely for me ...
[23:07] <guntbert> meoblast: yes, for "next"
[23:07] <thedoc^> right - soreau - cool, i needed 2 partitions as i mentioned - 1 for ubuntu and 1 for both OS's - i can leave them as EXT3 ? do i leave these all logical and what about the "location for the new partion?" what does beginning vs end mean? thanks again - i just didnt want to screw this up... never did a dual boot
[23:07] <glitsj16> jhonnyboy: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libcanberra/+bug/273507 might be helpfull
[23:07] <dracula_> french?
[23:07] <jhonnyboy> thanks glitsj16
[23:07] <rww> !screen | meoblast: screen introduction
[23:07] <meoblast> guntbert: that doesnt work.... cuz holding control a swiftly switches between the last 2 windows
[23:07] <enriquei> Is there any way I can start up a network install from a normal server install CD?
[23:08] <rww> !fr | dracula_
[23:08] <meoblast> i can't click links
[23:08] <meoblast> i have no GUI
[23:08] <LightKnight> fx3: just for information: Pass complete, no errors. Let's try something else :)
[23:08] <jhonnyboy> I'm afraid this won't work.
[23:08] <meoblast> well i'll brb
[23:08] <KevDog_> aircrack users here?
[23:08] <fx3> LightKnight, do you have any other linux live CDs around?
[23:08] <jhonnyboy> This should all be working by default, this is a brand new installation of ubuntu
[23:08] <guntbert> meoblast: <ctrl> a, then "n"
[23:08] <chu_> hey cellefellow
[23:08] <fx3> hey KevDog_
[23:09] <sensae> Can anyone recommend a music player written in GTK that supports compilation albums?
[23:09] <cellofellow> chu_: hey there
[23:09] <Huufarted> sensae, the only music player that I'll recommend right now is Amarok
[23:09] <LightKnight> fx3: got a blank CD, I was thinking of System Rescue CD or something.
[23:09] <Schuenemann> is it safe to delete the kernel sources under /usr/src?
[23:09] <soreau> thedoc^: TBH, I am not going to walk you through this completely. I will restate what I've already said which is that you should stick with ext3 and ntfs since both are practical and both are r/w from either OS. The ubuntu live install makes it very easy to scheme your partitions. If you do not like it, you can simply reorganize them again
[23:10] <fx3> you dont have any ubuntu live CDs around? they are worth their weight in low quality gold =)
[23:10] <sensae> Huufarted: that's what I'm using, but I dislike the inconsistent styling.
[23:10] <soreau> fx3: lol ;)
[23:10] <LightKnight> fx3: uhm, IIRC, not :-P
[23:10] <KevDog_> Hi
[23:10] <sensae> Huufarted: and even it is kind of weak when it comes to compilation albums.
[23:11] <billybigrigger_\> anyone here play true combat elite?
[23:11] <guntbert> !ot | sensae
[23:11] <chu_> sensae - songbird? though I know nothing about it
[23:11] <Tyr> live CD's for the win :D
[23:11] <thedoc^> soreau - ot
[23:11] <thedoc^> soreau - it's cool, thanks - i got my answer here : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=528065
[23:11] <Failasaur> Schuenemann: for running things you don't need the sources. Bute some install procedures, like when installing nvidia drivers from nvidia, require it.
[23:12] <soreau> thedoc^: Perfect. Have fun, hope you figure get it how you want it
[23:12] <Schuenemann> Failasaur,  at least I can delete the older ones, right?
[23:12] <thedoc^> soreau - thanks again for the advice. just had those minor questions...
[23:12] <KevDog> No aircrack broadcom users here?
[23:12] <Failasaur> Schuenemann: i'd say so yea
[23:12] <soreau> thedoc^: I mean, I hope you get it how you want it. If not, there's an infinite next time ;)
[23:12] <enriquei> Is anyone here familiar with the ubuntu installer?
[23:12] <thedoc^> :)
[23:12] <Schuenemann> Failasaur,  and if I want to compile the kernel myself, I should use the one there, too?
[23:13] <rww> !anyone | enriquei
[23:13] <KevDog> !ubottu
[23:13] <KevDog> Bots suck!
[23:13] <keres> KevDog: amen.
[23:13] <soreau> enriquei: No, we all use magic to install ubuntu
[23:13] <Failasaur> Schuenemann: compiling the kernel needs them yes. different kernel version, different kernel tre
[23:13] <Failasaur> tree*
[23:13] <enriquei> =\
[23:14] <Schuenemann> Failasaur,  ok, thanks
[23:14] <KevDog> MasterKernel has a great thread about how to compile kernels in the Tutorials and Tips section in the forums
[23:14] <Failasaur> Schuenemann: np
[23:14] <chu_> Do you reckon Linus' machine has complete support? lol
[23:14] <Failasaur> im off. good night all
[23:14] <chu_> night
[23:14] <blizzle> Linus runs Redhat.
[23:15] <KevDog> I thought Redhat was dead
[23:15] <enriquei> soreau: Is there anyway to kick off a network install from a normal, full sized, install cd?
[23:15] <ikonia> Gents, pleaes can we get back to the topic of ubuntu support
[23:15] <blizzle> KevDog, Dead? Not by a long shot.
[23:15] <chu_> Does he contribute to Red Hat? (outside the obvious kernel and git)
[23:15] <soreau> enriquei: I have no idea
[23:15] <rww> !ot
[23:15] <chu_> Sorry ikonia, taking it to ot
[23:16] <KevDog> My mistake
[23:16] <jhonnyboy> Ok everyone i just did a speaker test and all my speakers are working correctly as 5.1 surround sound. But when i play movies it's not surround sound, it's only my front speakers. Does anyone know why?
[23:16] <rww> enriquei: Have you looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Server%20and%20network%20installations ?
[23:17] <fx3> bah, bedtime for me, cant get my head around this bind thing
[23:18] <LightKnight> fx3: nite and thank you again :)
[23:18] <enriquei> thank you rrw: I will take a look
[23:19] <fx3> LightKnight, i hope you resuce your data, i strongly suggest takinng out the harddrive from the laptop =). good luck.
[23:19] <hlm> are there any GUI programs for C++ projects?
[23:19] <bruenig> hlm: gedit
[23:19] <guntbert> !ide | hlm
[23:19] <JC_Denton_> trying to run processing but it's reporting errors: incorrect classpath:~/GNUstep/Library/Libraries/Java . thinking I need to reset the classpath..
[23:20] <hlm> I dont think you understand, I need something that opens a whole project, not just parts of it
[23:21] <guntbert> !attitude | hlm
[23:21] <JC_Denton_> monodevelop works with C++
[23:21] <hlm> guntbert, im sorry :-(
[23:21] <tintin> hey i need some quick help, i have just attempted to install ubuntu on top of windows
[23:22] <thedoc^> hey soreau - if i have a drive set as ext3, would i be able to read/move/copy files that are from XP for example? or should i make it to fat32? i know from ubuntu, i can read ntfs drives.... perhaps on the install cd there's a way to format that drive to ntfs instead of fat?
[23:22] <DJNomad> how did the attemt fail ?
[23:22] <BlackBeast> hi can somebody help me?
[23:22] <BlackBeast> i have some trouble
[23:22] <Brandano> hlm: never used it, but I think eclipse does C as well?
[23:22]  * jexmex pulls up chair and beer
[23:23] <guntbert> hlm: its ok :-), you will have to look and test yourself, and of course every ide has its own projects
[23:23] <BlackBeast> i'm trying to uninstall ubuntu.. but i can't
[23:23] <soreau> thedoc^: As I said before, ntfs and ext3 are r/w from either OS (linux and windows). There is no need for fat*
[23:23] <hlm> is there some way to convert a windows dsw to something usable?
[23:23] <Brandano> BlackBeast: apart from the usual "why?" but what's the problem?
[23:23] <jexmex> BlackBeast: Why would you want to do that?!
[23:23] <IntuitiveNipple> hlm: You could look at Anjuta (light-weight) or Eclipse CDT (heavy-weight)
[23:23] <thedoc^> okay cool soreau - just double checking! :) i could have sworn it wasn't like that a few years back...
[23:23] <mrwes> what does the & symbol do when used after an executable command?
[23:23] <hlm> thankyou everyone!
[23:24] <tintin> i repartitioned the hard drive ok however i fiddled with the advanced settings which resulted in the boot loader not being installed now i cannot get ubuntu off the live session, i changed the default setting from (hd0) to (sdb) which did not work i restarted hoping i could format the new partitions however they are locked when i boot the live cd again
[23:24] <soreau> BlackBeast: Why would you want to do such a thing? ;)
[23:24] <KevDog> mrwes: runs the process in the background
[23:24] <mrwes> KevDog, Ok..thought so, how to I get back to that job?
[23:24] <mlissner> mrwes: be aware though that you can't close the terminal once you've done that.
[23:24] <mrwes> mlissner, I found that out :)
[23:24] <guntbert> mrwes: fg
[23:24] <Brandano> BlackBeast: I think youi might be confusing "I am trying to uninstall Ubuntu" with " I am trying to install windows, and it's failing"
[23:25] <mrwes> guntbert, Ok...and jobs -l will list the jobs?
[23:25] <soreau> thedoc^: You're right. ntfs was officially supported only a few or more years back. Before then, FAT32 was required
[23:25] <Brandano> BlackBeast: in any case, nothing that can't be fixed with fdisk
[23:25] <mlissner> mrwes:  I think that's right.
[23:25] <Brandano> Just make sure you save ALL your data first
[23:25] <guntbert> mrwes: I use jobs alone, but yes
[23:25] <mlissner> mrwes: You can also do things like fg %1, which will bring the first process to the foreground.
[23:26] <mlissner> mrwes: or fg %2, etc.
[23:26] <KevDog> broadcom/aircrack users
[23:26] <KevDog> ?
[23:26] <mrwes> mlissner, Ok..I understand that. and ctrl + Z puts it back into the background?
[23:26] <talntid> any experienced server admins care to give me a hand with a broken package issue? it's not a simple question. it involves broken packages and apt wants to uninstall a LOT of base packages.
[23:26] <Sal__> fx3: any idea ?
[23:26] <Sal__> its still the alias, even though i changed the alias
[23:26] <mlissner> mrwes: That sounds about right
[23:26] <mrwes> mlissner, very nice...thanks guys
[23:26] <talntid> KevDog: broadcom isn't real good with aircrack.
[23:27] <talntid> matter of fact, I don't think it works at all
[23:27] <DJNomad> whenever someone is not busy and knows how to mount a flashdrive holla at me
[23:27] <mlissner> mrwes: no prob. good luck getting to know the terminal. it's good stuff.
[23:27] <jj_galvez> odd synaptic question - I installed a deb package (downloaded from getdeb) and it seems to have installed properly, however I can't find it in synaptic.  I know this is wrong because its not how my computer at home works
[23:27] <mlissner> DJNomad: What happens when you stick it in?
[23:27] <mrwes> mlissner, yah I'm a fan of the terminal, I just have not used the jobs side of it
[23:27] <DJNomad> it shows (i have 2 ways of attaching it )
[23:28] <mlissner> DJNomad: I'm confused what the problem is then....
[23:28] <DJNomad> its a 4 gig micro sd via usb cable through phone(says unmountable) or a usb card adapter says insert media
[23:28] <DJNomad> shows but wont mount
[23:28] <mrwes> mlissner, is running jobs better than using screen?
[23:29] <mrwes> stick it in? hrmm...
[23:29] <mrwes> jk
[23:29] <DJNomad> hehe
[23:29] <mlissner> mrwes: I haven't used screen, but I have a friend that swears by it. It seemed overly complicated to me.
[23:29] <DJNomad> thats the wrong slot
[23:29] <KevDog> talntid: That info is incorrect.  I can confirm they work together (at least part ofthe way)!
[23:30] <mlissner> DJNomad: I shouldn't profess too much knowledge on this. Maybe somebody else knows, but I think if you run fdisk, it will give you more info about it...
[23:30] <talntid> KevDog: you can successfully inject using broadcom?
[23:30] <DJNomad> i can also do it via bluetooth but it will only do my pics and not my songs
[23:30] <KevDog> talntid: YES!
[23:31] <mikewu> DJNomad: run dmesg after sticking it in and you should see that it attaches on sdx1 where x is some letter
[23:31] <talntid> nice, does it inject quickly?
[23:31] <KevDog> talntid: I have no idea ofthe speed, using b43 driver/2.6.27 kernel
[23:31] <talntid> via ndiswrapper?
[23:31] <mikewu> DJNomad: then mount -t vfat -o uid=username,gid=users /dev/sdx1 /media/usb
[23:32] <mlissner> DJNomad: if you're trying to get info off a phone, good luck to you. They are a pain in many ways.
[23:32] <jj_galvez> installed package not showing up in syaptic
[23:32] <KevDog> talntid: Forget ndiswrapper -- you cant packet inject with ndiswrapper
[23:32] <BlackBeast> mmm
[23:32] <BlackBeast> Brandano: what?
[23:33] <tintin> hey need some help i resized my hard drive and installed ubuntu however i attempted to change where the boot loader is installed to and it failed during the install at 98% i am new to ubuntu and all linux distributions how can i install a boot loader so i can stop using the live session and reclaim my windows install (as it cannot find the MBR)
[23:33] <glitsj16> jj_galvez: odd indeed, using "dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall | grep <fill-in-packagename-in-question>" you might find out if it actually installed ok. Does that return anything usefull ?
[23:33] <Brandano> Well, how's your system setup? Dual boot with windows?
[23:33] <Brandano> hem, sorry, meeant that for BlackBeast and forgot the netiquette for a second
[23:33] <BlackBeast> Brandano: well that's exactly the problem that i have
[23:34] <BlackBeast> Brandano: sorry if my what was a little big!
[23:34] <DJNomad> that command(first one) came up w errors device not ready
[23:34] <tintin> yes windows is installed however i am attempting to dual boot windows with ubuntu
[23:34] <Brandano> BlackBeast: ok, so what you want to do is to remove the boot manager and extend the fat32 partition back to the whole disk
[23:34] <jj_galvez> glitsj16: that reports install
[23:35] <BlackBeast> Brandano: yes!exactly,im trying to instal windows (not for me :S)
[23:35] <McShane> gnome-system-monitor crashes when I try to start it. Running it from the terminal gives me this error: http://pastebin.com/d6a4bda95. Invoking sudo bypasses the Gio error.
[23:35] <BlackBeast> install*
[23:35] <Brandano> BlackBeast: there's no automated way to do so AFAIK, but you should be able to get back to the origin by resizing the partition using a livecd, and then run an fdisk -mbr to restore the boot record from a windows recovery prompt
[23:35] <junglist_> Can anyone help me decipher this error I am getting when I try to update?   http://paste.ubuntu.com/120351/       Thanks!
[23:35] <hlm> does clamav have a GUI?
[23:35] <Brandano> BlackBeast: ah, if you just want to install windows, just format the drive
[23:36] <Brandano> BlackBeast: better ask in #windows, though
[23:36] <glitsj16> jj_galvez: in that case you might run "sudo dpkg -r <packagename> to remove it and try reinstalling it again .. what package is causing the trouble by the way ? might be a bug on it, hard to tell without more info i suppose ...
[23:36] <BlackBeast> Brandano: yes, but i don't have the live cd
[23:36] <Brandano> download one
[23:36] <Ienorand> I'm having trouble uninstalling vmware player on ubuntu: http://www.mibbit.com/pb/Z6IYoz any suggestions?
[23:36] <jj_galvez> glitsj16: its gsmartcontrol I downloaded it from getdeb
[23:37] <hlm> is there a clamav support channel?
[23:37] <DJNomad> its dev sdf tho
[23:37] <Tyr> Blackbeast: its recommended to buy a legal copy of Windows on a disc in order to get all future most necessary security update on the MS-OS
[23:37] <ActionParsnip1> BlackBeast: if you can boot to recovery root console you may be able to do whatever it is from command line.
[23:37] <Brandano> Ienorand: that mibbit link probably won't lead anywhere
[23:37] <mikewu> DJNomad: try the mount command with /dev/sdf1
[23:37] <ActionParsnip1> him: yes, theres 38 people there #clamav
[23:37] <Tyr> if you not want pay for the OS stick with linux :D
[23:38] <DJNomad> is the mount command "mount"?
[23:38] <hlm> ActionParsnip1, thankyou
[23:38] <Hyena> hey! anyone who can help a newbe for some secounds
[23:38] <DJNomad> so mount /dev/sdf1
[23:38] <ActionParsnip1> DJNomad: indeed
[23:38] <DJNomad> kk
[23:38] <Ienorand> Brandano: it lead to pastebin...
[23:38] <ActionParsnip1> DJNomad: no, you need to mount it to a folder
[23:38] <DIFH-iceroot> !anyone | Hyena
[23:38] <BlackBeast> Tyr: it's not for me
[23:38] <glitsj16> jj_galvez: thanks, trying it now to see if i get the same result, hang on please
[23:38] <rfizzle> Hello. Can someone help me. Every time I boot I have this DRDY ERR and it takes it like 6 minutes to boot up.
[23:38] <Brandano> Ienorand: Ah, didn't know mibbit had a pastebin... sorry
[23:38] <mikewu> DJNomad: look at what i entered above
[23:38] <jj_galvez> glitsj16: ok, thanks
[23:38] <Tyr> still.. copied versions of windows dont update since they got authentication tool
[23:39] <ActionParsnip1> DJNomad: sudo mount <device <folder to mount to> -t <type> -o <options>
[23:39] <junglist_> Can anyone help me decipher this error I am getting when I try to update?   http://paste.ubuntu.com/120351/       Thanks!
[23:39] <ActionParsnip1> DJNomad: -t and -o are optional but can give greater options (and sometimes are necessary)
[23:39] <Brandano> Ienorand: Aaagh, perl... this wasn't installed with apt-get, right?
[23:39] <MadsRH> I have a PVR-150 TV-tuner card, which application should I use to watch TV other than MythTV?
[23:39] <RJN> how to change login in root user.....
[23:39] <ActionParsnip1> junglist_: i wish we had a factoid for this one
[23:40] <BlackBeast> Tyr: well, except for Windows unnatended edition
[23:40] <ActionParsnip1> RJN: you dont use a root user, use your own and use sudo
[23:40] <Tyr> Blackbeast, you could download Hirens boot cd so you have at least a live cd with Fdisk on to format the drive
[23:40] <Hyena> I have two graphic cards (one pci one agp). ubuntu only uses the pci card with 800x600 resolution. i can see the both cards in 'lspci -v'.. how do i get them both to go good in higher resolution?
[23:40] <unop> Brandano, perl is installed with the base system
[23:40] <junglist_> ActionParsnip1: What does that mean? :) Is this common?
[23:40] <DJNomad> thanks for the effort but I aint getting it I notepadded everything tho and will try to get it workin
[23:40] <Brandano> unop: yep, but I don't think it's used to manage packages?
[23:40] <ActionParsnip1> junglist_: http://gentoo-blog.de/?p=501
[23:40] <RJN> ActionParsnip1:  that 1 i  can use but i need to configure the permission on my second hdd
[23:40] <DJNomad> I just dunno what to do with folders etc
[23:41] <ActionParsnip1> junglist_: hugely, its quite annoying but easy to fix
[23:41] <BlackBeast> Tyr: well let me download the live CD
[23:41] <RJN> so, how to configure that
[23:41] <djungelmums> how do i resume this: There are screens on:
[23:41] <djungelmums>         2300.pts-3.djungelfrukt (02/20/2009 12:31:54 AM)        (Attached)

[23:41] <Tyr> lots other usefull tools on that too :-)
[23:41] <Brandano> BlackBeast: it's always a good idea to keep a recent livecd in your backpack
[23:41] <Hyena> låter gott
[23:41] <junglist_> ActionParsnip1: Thank you!
[23:41] <ActionParsnip1> RJN: do not log on as root, here is a help for your mounting issue: http://www.hafenscher.net/wiki/index.php?page=Mount_USB_stick_read_and_writable_for_users
[23:42] <DJNomad> i got ultimate ubuntu last night and i am loving it
[23:42] <DJNomad> cept for this phone thing lol
[23:42] <ActionParsnip1> DJNomad: its not supported here
[23:42] <ActionParsnip1> !ultimate
[23:42] <DJNomad> it runs better than xfce did for me
[23:42] <unop> Brandano, it's used by some front-ends to APT like apt-file, debconf, etc -- so it has an indirect relationship
[23:42] <Brandano> The trouble with names like "ultimate" is that there's always something more ultimate coming out next week
[23:42] <RJN> i add another hdd but after i format it ..... ther is only a folder named lost+found. and i cant add any files on the hdd
[23:42] <ActionParsnip1> DJNomad: xfce is a desktop environment, ubuntu is an operating system, you cannot compare between the two
[23:43] <Ienorand> Djungelmums: What are you talking about?
[23:43] <l337ingDisorder> is there a way to list all partitions on the command line?
[23:43] <ActionParsnip1> DJNomad: you can use xfce IN ubuntu instead of the default GNOME / KDE
[23:43] <DJNomad> yeah but that desktop environment is suppose to be faster than gnome
[23:43] <ActionParsnip1> l337ingDisorder: sudo fdisk -l
[23:43] <sharef_> i need the advice of a X11 pro
[23:43] <Brandano> DJNomad: ever tried a terminal window?
[23:44] <ActionParsnip1> DJNomad: it is made for lower resource systems so yes
[23:44] <ActionParsnip1> !ask | sharef
[23:44] <DJNomad> terminal is too much for me now
[23:44] <l337ingDisorder> ActionParsnip1: fdisk -l will give a list of all the partitions but it also has the sizes and all kinds of stuff... all I want is a list like  /dev/sda1 \n /dev/sda2 \n /dev/sdb1
[23:44] <DJNomad> lol
[23:44] <Liothen> DJNomad: try openbox, fluxbox, or blackbox those are even faster :P
[23:44] <ActionParsnip1> DJNomad: you can install xubuntu and have ubuntu with xfce as its desktop and be supported
[23:44] <DJNomad> im stupid havent you figured that out yet?
[23:44] <glitsj16> jj_galvez: it installed cleanly and here it does show up properly in synaptic ... did you install the .deb manually or via double-clicking ?
[23:45] <DJNomad> i tried lxde too
[23:45] <ActionParsnip1> l337ingDisorder: it will show the disk, then sda1, sda2 etc for each disk
[23:45] <BlackBeast> Brandano: can you give me a link with the last live CD?
[23:45] <Liothen> i have to admit the packages available for fluxbox on ubuntu suck.
[23:45] <l337ingDisorder> ActionParsnip1: can I /msg you?
[23:45] <ActionParsnip1> DJNomad: i use fluxbox, its way more configurable than xfce
[23:45] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: cat /proc/partitions
[23:45] <ActionParsnip1> l337ingDisorder: sure
[23:45] <sharef_> i want to set up my laptop and desktop to act like 1 computer with 2 screens
[23:45] <jj_galvez> glitsj16: double clicking initially, then manually after doing the dpkg -r thing
[23:45] <Brandano> BlackBeast: probably. I'd have to go to www.ubuntu.com and browse a bit, though...
[23:45] <malibu> Hi, I torrent downloaded ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.... is this not the alternate install CD?  The installation looks the same as the normal CD!
[23:45] <DJNomad> i have just barely tried flux
[23:46] <Hyena> how do i enable my geforce card?
[23:46] <sharef_> specifically window drag/drop functions and shared clipboard
[23:46] <l337ingDisorder> IntuitiveNipple: that's getting closer but still lists the major, minor, and #blocks... all I want is the partition names
[23:46] <DJNomad> i used xfce for a bitabout a week or 2
[23:46] <glitsj16> jj_galvez: odd indeed, still nothing showing up i take it ?
[23:46] <DJNomad> i liked how its panel floated
[23:46] <ActionParsnip1> DJNomad: try putting my name at the start of the line, so it highlights like i highlight yours
[23:46] <unop> l337ingDisorder,  ls /dev/[sh]d[a-z]*
[23:46] <DJNomad> not takin up any room
[23:46] <Brandano> BlackBeast: then find the link, copy it here, paste it... by the time I am done you could have already started to download it...
[23:46] <Liothen> enlightenment is fairly good aswell
[23:46] <McShane> gnome-system-monitor crashes when I try to start it. Running it from the terminal gives me this error: http://pastebin.com/d6a4bda95. Invoking sudo bypasses the Gio error.
[23:46] <McShane> but I'd like to be able to run the monitor from the Gnome menu
[23:46] <jj_galvez> glitsj16: nothing, really odd, like I said I did the same thing at home and its showing up in synaptic as it should there, just not on this computer at work
[23:47] <l337ingDisorder> unop: Woah that's pretty much exactly what I need! Any way to have it return them on individual lines?
[23:47] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: pipe it through cut
[23:47] <unop> l337ingDisorder,  ls -1 /dev/[sh]d[a-z]*
[23:47] <mrwes> if you have multiple detached screens, when you type screen -r which one does it retach to?
[23:47] <DJNomad> ActionParsnip1 k will tdo
[23:47] <mrwes> attach that is
[23:48] <KevDog> enlightenment is good but schizophrenic
[23:48] <georgy_28> KevDog, : why ?
[23:49] <glitsj16> jj_galvez: i'm afraid i can't really think of anything else to try ... might be different synaptic preferences between those machines, that's a longshot guess .. goodluck :)
[23:49] <ActionParsnip1> DJNomad: makes it easier ina room of 1400 users
[23:49] <l337ingDisorder> unop you're a maniac! Thanks a million, that's exactly what I need
[23:49] <flx_> I have a weird problem. When I do large amounts of transfer on a cheap SD media card I picked up, something bad happens and the write fails.
[23:49] <unop> l337ingDisorder, maniac? i almost resent that :)
[23:49] <KevDog> e17 is basically in svn code -- which for the most part is stable, however depending on how you are applying your updates, sometimes things break!
[23:49] <flx_> Anyone got any ideas on whether its hardware or sfotware?
[23:49] <jj_galvez> glitsj16: thanks, I've got a meeting to go to anyway I'll try googling some.  Thanks for the help
[23:49] <BlackBeast> Brandano: and there is not an apliccation that do a partition on ubuntu?
[23:49] <Brandano> BlackBeast: this seems the place: http://releases.ubuntu.com/intrepid/
[23:49] <DJNomad> ActionParsnip1 yeah i imagine sorry im new to this busy chat and also irc and also linux
[23:50] <Brandano> BlackBeast: PartED
[23:50] <l337ingDisorder> unop: well, linux maniac... not like.. axe-murdering/carrot-farming maniac
[23:50] <hlm> #clamav is giving me no support, does anyone in here no if clamav has a GUI?
[23:50] <unop> ha ha
[23:50] <IntuitiveNipple> unop: l337ingDisorder That ls won't pick up device-mapper partitions
[23:50] <ActionParsnip1> DJNomad: np man, just remember to address folks, don't be a div and dont flood with huge pastes
[23:50] <Brandano> hlm: clamwin does
[23:50] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: cat /proc/partitions | awk '{print $4}'
[23:50] <ActionParsnip1> DJNomad: keep on topic and you are golden
[23:50] <Brandano> AFAIK clamav does not
[23:50] <flx_> hlm: avscan
[23:50] <rfizzle> I have some sort of boot problem. everytime I boot I get this DRDY ERR and it takes it like 6 mins to go through to boot up
[23:50] <flx_> hlm: Also clamtk
[23:50] <DJNomad> ActionParsnip1 kk i know about pastebin
[23:50] <hlm> flx_, thankyou
[23:50] <Brandano> hlm: or perhaps it has several
[23:51] <ivnrca> hi, i need help with sound in wolfestein enemy territory. this is my terminal log screen http://paste.ubuntu.com/119452/     thanks
[23:51] <DJNomad> ActionParsnip1 so thats a plus lol
[23:51] <flx_> hlm: "apt-cache search clamav | grep front" was what I looked for
[23:51] <hlm> thank you everyone
[23:51] <flx_> hlm: Often they call it a "frontend"
[23:51] <hlm> flx_, okay, im a linux newbie :-(
[23:51] <DJNomad> ActionParsnip1
[23:51] <flx_> hlm: Not a problem! (But you probably don't need antivirus if you're just a normal desktop user.)
[23:51] <DJNomad> ActionParsnip1 so do i make a folder for the flashdrive or is there one already ?
[23:51] <NemsSs> what eans grep front
[23:51] <Brandano> Well, technically a frontend is not an integrated GUI. practically they feel the same
[23:52] <KevDog> Im running e17 and like it a lot, however some may not!
[23:52] <Brandano> NemsSs: grep searches for text in a list of strings
[23:52] <ghee> hi guys a little sound question for the gurus in the house...
[23:52] <unop> IntuitiveNipple,  ls -1 /dev/{[sh]d[a-z]*,dm-*}
[23:52] <ActionParsnip1> DJNomad: you will need to make one if its not automounting for you
[23:52] <top1> hello
[23:52] <NemsSs> Brandano, yes but where
[23:52] <l337ingDisorder> IntuitiveNipple: Hmm you have a very good point there..
[23:52] <Huufarted> !ask | ghee
[23:52] <NemsSs> in which list
[23:52] <hlm> flx_, I am planning on using it to scan a windows network
[23:52] <BlackBeast> Brandano: what works with a laptop?
[23:52] <Brandano> in the one piped by apt-cache
[23:52] <ghee> are the "capabilites" listed after my sound card using lshw the "options" that can be called for it?
[23:52] <flx_> hlm: Aha, there ya go.
[23:52] <top1> who can say me please where the german ubuntu channel is?
[23:53] <georgy_28> KevDog, : I'm running e17 too, and i find it great
[23:53] <unop> l337ingDisorder,  ls -1 /dev/{[sh]d[a-z]*,dm-*}
[23:53] <ActionParsnip1> !de | top1
[23:53] <ghee> and if so, how do i found out what they mean?
[23:53] <DJNomad> ActionParsnip1 ok thanks would i want to do that in my home folder?
[23:53] <l337ingDisorder> IntuitiveNipple: Ok so then is there something I can do to remove the frist two lines of the output? (ie, the "name" line and the blank line, so all I get is a list of partitions?
[23:53] <top1> danke
[23:53] <hlm> flx_, I am using Gnome, will I have to install KDE to use a KDE frontend?
[23:53] <ActionParsnip1> DJNomad: you can do it ANYWHERE, just not in /proc
[23:53] <Brandano> BlackBeast: Laptops are real buggers for graphic adapters
[23:53] <KevDog> georgy_28: How did you install?
[23:53] <TTT_Travis> how does LVM store data? Does it just write to one drive until it fills up then switches to the next drive? Ideally if my drive were to fail I would want to only lose data from a certain time frame
[23:53] <ifroog> Question, How to change qt themes from gnome?
[23:53] <georgy_28> KevDog, : deb file
[23:53] <DJNomad> ActionParsnip1 I have dolphin so I can make it in any folder permission wise
[23:53] <ActionParsnip1> him: if you want to use kwin instead of metacity you will have to install a full kde
[23:54] <flx_> Flare183: Not sure. Give it a shot?
[23:54] <ActionParsnip1> DJNomad: sure, most users use: sudo mkdir /media/usbdisk    or similar
[23:54] <flx_> Flare183: sorry, wrong personl
[23:54] <flx_> hlm: I think you'll need to install some libs... but not everthing. Lemme check.
[23:54] <tanzib> i'm using usb audio and only flash sound works
[23:54] <tanzib> can anyone help?
[23:54] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: unop's modified ls ... will handle the disk-mapper entries too
[23:54] <ActionParsnip1> !sound  tanzib
[23:55] <Brandano> BlackBeast: I'd try that USB based version. It intrigues me... I don't know if it's a live distro though
[23:55] <tanzib> thanks anyway
[23:55] <flx_> hlm: Yeah you need a few libs but I don't think its too bad...
[23:55] <jj_galvez> glitsj16: this is even odder, I found it under ulilities, but if I enter the package name in the search box nothing comes up
[23:55] <KevDog> georgy_28: Not from here?: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=916690
[23:55] <hlm> flx_, okay, thankyou for doing that for me; I wouldve done it myself but I have one synaptics running
[23:56] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: For example: for part in /dev/{[sh]d[a-z]*,dm-*}; do echo -n "$part "; done; echo
[23:56] <unop> l337ingDisorder, this might be better as it removes some of the duplicates.   for i in /dev/disk/by-uuid/*; do readlink -f "$i"; done
[23:56] <malibu> racecar56: Hey there.. how do I do the command line install?
[23:56] <DJNomad> ActionParsnip1, "usbdisk does not have to be named whatever my computer see's it as does it?
[23:56] <ivnrca> :) hi, i need help with sound in wolfestein enemy territory. this is my terminal log screen http://paste.ubuntu.com/119452/ (no sound when im runing the program)
[23:56] <BlackBeast> Brandano: i ndon't understand, i don't know much about english
[23:56] <ActionParsnip1> him: you can run: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop if you want kde, it will also install a load of kde apps for you to use but you can use your gnome ones too as you have the gnome libs
[23:56] <malibu> racecar56: I don't see the option
[23:56] <Hyena> how do i enable my second GFX-card?
[23:56] <eli_> my god, why can't I check this out of subversion. I just want to figgen download this god damn project and it won't let me, http://www.mono-project.com/Bitsharp
[23:56] <georgy_28> KevDog, : no, to much time, just form here :http://e17.dunnewind.net/ubuntu
[23:57] <ActionParsnip1> DJNomad: nope you can call it anything you like, just don't put space in the folder name for ease of use
[23:57] <glitsj16> jj_galvez: looks like it made a mess of things indeed ... i would be inclined to purge it and try again installing it via gdebi-gtk
[23:57] <Brandano> ivnrca: lines 79 and 80 seem the culprits
[23:57] <hlm> how do I build and compile a windows c++ dsp project?
[23:57] <ActionParsnip1> !ohmy | eli_
[23:57] <jj_galvez> glitsj16: sounds like a really good idea
[23:57] <jj_galvez> glitsj16: thanks again
[23:57] <Brandano> ivnrca: apparently it can't write to /dev/dsp
[23:57] <eli_> Can someone tar this project for me because I can't download it with svn. http://www.mono-project.com/Bitsharp
[23:58] <eli_> i just need the source
[23:58] <ivnrca> what i have to do?
[23:58] <glitsj16> jj_galvez: very welcome, hope you get things fixed
[23:58] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: unop: Here's another variation, *only* lists partitions not raw block devices: for part in /dev/{[sh]d[a-z][0-9]*,dm-*}; do echo -n "$part "; done; echo
[23:58] <JPSman> I dual boot, and my windows has a virus im trying to cleanse from ubuntu.  How can I edit my windows registry from ubuntu??
[23:58] <flx_> eli_: have you looked up how to check stuff out of an SVN/
[23:58]  * nikrud looks at channel title, relaxes
[23:58] <eli_> yea it said the svn has moved
[23:58] <l337ingDisorder> unop: IntuitiveNipple: yeah for i in /dev/disk/by-uuid/*; do readlink -f "$i"; done seems to be perfect... many thanks :)
[23:59] <Brandano> JPSman: not sure you can. Can't you just boot windows in safe mode?
[23:59] <flx_> eli_: Have you gone to their channel / mailing list / whatever and asked them about that?
[23:59] <IntuitiveNipple> l337ingDisorder: Remember that not all devices will have a UUID
[23:59] <nikrud> IntuitiveNipple, they should ....
[23:59] <IntuitiveNipple> nikrud: but don't always, depends on their heritage
[23:59] <l337ingDisorder> IntuitiveNipple: I see... so for part in /dev/{[sh]d[a-z][0-9]*,dm-*}; do echo -n "$part "; done; echo would be the way to go then...
[23:59] <flx_> JPSman: http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/02/27/use-your-ubuntu-partition-to-fix-a-corrupt-registry-on-a-windows-xp-partition/ Just googled it... Might be similar
