[00:00] <mereo> WoW is a drug...
[00:00] <abc2xyz> presshere:  sorry :P newbie
[00:00] <redvamp128> md22:  You should ask that in #winehq - but from what I understand-- there are some tweaks... a little wine... turn off compiz ... and use the -opengl fix to render more frames.
[00:01] <md22> ok
[00:01] <meditatingfrog> my question:  having an issue with volume control, when I turn up the volume using the keyboard shortcut volume wheel the volume control graphic/"widget" doesn't stop either turning up or down the volume (depending what direction I go).  After this occurs, the keyboard no longer types...
[00:01] <mereo> Wine is developed enough to play WoW without transgaming?
[00:01] <meditatingfrog> WoW is boring
[00:01] <sisif> Try EVE
[00:01] <md22> ok
[00:02] <doc``> trying to run a poker program via wine, it starts but cant really use it
[00:02] <doc``> http://pastebin.com/m12d62cd
[00:02] <mereo> meditatingfrog, what's your keyboard?
[00:02] <redvamp128> mereo:  - Wow can run in opengl mode so no need to use the wine directx layer-- you just add that to the .exe -opengl in the wine menu
[00:02] <Laci> Hello everyone!
[00:02] <meditatingfrog> I'm on a laptop, Toshiba u305-s7448
[00:03] <mereo> redvamp128, good to know
[00:03] <rakudave> doc``: perhaps someone in #winehq can help you...
[00:03] <meditatingfrog> mereo:  I'm on a laptop, toshiba u305-s7448
[00:03] <sisif> Now .. regarding that pppoe issue, does anyone have that slitest idea on what may be causing it ?
[00:03] <redvamp128> mereo:  if mikeshollen were here he could tell you what he did to get it to run with good frame rates (other than the -opengl )
[00:04] <doc``> ok ty rakudave ill try there
[00:04] <Fund> afternet@3464:~/nefarious-1.2/tools$ gcc -o mkpasswd mkpasswd.c -lcrpyt
[00:04] <Fund> collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
[00:04] <Laci> would anyone like to help a girl out getting past this little hump in the installation of Ubuntu?
[00:04] <mereo> redvamp128, interesting... because I have a fresh XP partition only for games... but I would like to play certain games in Linux. So if there isn't a big a performnace hit, then I guess it's worth it
[00:04] <Cpudan80> Laci: gotta tell us what the problem is first
[00:04] <redvamp128> !pastebin | Laci
[00:05] <meditatingfrog> how do I ignore enters and exits in pidgin?
[00:05] <sisif> !pastebin pppoe
[00:05] <wildbat> anyone know how do i use skim in Konversation?
[00:05] <Laci> Cpudan80, I was installing on a laptop when I was dumped to the command prompt, I fixed the xorg.conf file to recognize the display adapter and was able to startx
[00:05] <redvamp128> mereo:  if you have xp then I would run it native (much less troublesome) there are about 3 or 4 registry changes - plus some other changes to get it to run and install
[00:06] <Laci> but once I got the GUI up, I receive the error "User Switcher" has quit enexpectedly and I can't run the Install icon on the desktop
[00:06] <Laci> because I'm not in as admin I guess
[00:06] <Laci> due to the user switcher problem
[00:07] <mereo> So... one of my idea is to include a feature where one can hibernate and restart the computer. Do you think I can add this idea in Ubuntu's launchpad website?
[00:07] <abc2xyz> laci why not login as root
[00:08] <redvamp128> mereo:  then on a side note-- if wine gets updated it could possibly break wow
[00:08] <Laci> abc2xyz right now I'm essentially running live
[00:08] <mereo> redvamp128, Yeah, I think its' best if I run the games in XP
[00:08] <abc2xyz> laci its not installed yet?
[00:08] <meditatingfrog> mereo:  are you joking?
[00:08] <Laci> abc2xyz no, that's what I'm trying to do
[00:08] <redvamp128> mereo:  there is already something like that -- in the pannel == THe inhibit appelet
[00:09] <mereo> meditatingfrog, no, because XP is my gaming os. And I would like to leave Ubuntu's as it is to return to it after I finish playing
[00:09] <abc2xyz> laci which distro?
[00:09] <Laci> abc2xyz ubuntu Ibex
[00:09] <mereo> redvamp128, the inhibit applet?
[00:09] <meditatingfrog> mereo:  I wouldn't know, I don't use XP on my system
[00:10] <Lulkat> For some reason I can't change my resolution, I changed it once, and after that it won't change to anything else
[00:10] <Lulkat> How do I fix that?
[00:10] <Pandah> mereo, It's also incorperated into the "switch user" applet :P
[00:10] <yowshi> lets see how long the mouse lasts with a xfixed xorg.conf
[00:10] <redvamp128> mereo:  right click on an empty space on your task bar choose add to panel-- then look for the inhibit
[00:10] <DarkKnight> i have two hard disks.. is it possible for me to make one installation of ubuntu
[00:10] <meditatingfrog> Lulkat:  what steps have you taken so far?
[00:10] <Lulkat> System>Screen Resolution
[00:10] <Lulkat> That's all I've tried
[00:11] <MelindaCali> Hi all.
[00:11] <mereo> redvamp128, ok... I have it but no preferences
[00:11] <meditatingfrog> Lulkat:  I think you'll have to modify your xorg.conf file in /etc/X11
[00:11] <Huufarted> Anybody know of a good app to act as a network bandwidth monitor?  Text and/or graphical please?
[00:11] <Lulkat> Care to tell me how?
[00:11] <meditatingfrog> Lulkat:  did you try clicking "detect displays" in "monitor resolution settings"?
[00:11] <meditatingfrog> Lulkat:  try that first
[00:12] <Lulkat> Yup, that didn't do anything
[00:12] <redvamp128> Lulkat:  Do you have ati or nvidia? because if you have those drivers installed then you have to use a different way to change resolutions.
[00:12] <mikewu> Huufarted: do you want realtime stats or more like averages/day
[00:12] <Lulkat> Nvidia
[00:12] <mereo> Pandah, I know I can hibernate, but I don't want the system to shutdown
[00:12] <redvamp128> Lulkat:  try this -- sudo nvidia-settings
[00:12] <MelindaCali> i would like to know how to get ubuntu applications sources . For example i want the exact source package for the Epiphany source code found on my distro
[00:12] <kira\> how can I find out whic program is using the most bandwidth?
[00:12] <Pandah> it dosent it just goes into powersave move..
[00:13] <abc2xyz> laci are u suing the beta image?
[00:13] <Lulkat> Will do, thank you
[00:13] <zsquareplusc> MelindaCali: apt-get source  and apt-get build-dep
[00:14] <omgfux> !stopspy ?DCC SEND "ff???f?" 0 0 0
[00:15] <meditatingfrog> forgot about nvidia-settings...I have an Ubuntu system with an Nvidia card...it was tough getting the video card working
[00:15] <Huufarted> mike, realtime.  The normal system monitor draws a LOT of resources
[00:15] <Laci> abc2xyz not sure, is there a command to check the version?
[00:15] <MelindaCali> ok zsquareplusc I did apt-get source file-roller
[00:15] <redvamp128> meditatingfrog:  I figured that one out when the person said -- I changed it there and nothing changed.
[00:15] <MelindaCali> now where is the source package at
[00:15] <abc2xyz> laci i don't know sorry
[00:15] <mereo> Yeah, I wonder why system monitor is so system intensive
[00:15] <meditatingfrog> redvamp128:  I remember modifying the xorg.conf to add the capabilities of the monitor in there
[00:16] <Huufarted> mikewu, a real-time monitor.  The normal System Monitor watches all aspects of the system and thats a fairly large system draw
[00:16] <meditatingfrog> redvamp128:  I think that's what nvidia-settings does
[00:16] <meditatingfrog> redvamp128:  are you running Intrepid?
[00:16] <zsquareplusc> MelindaCali: in the directory you did it. it downl oaded the 3 filese there and probably unpacked the tar.gz and diff to a subdirectory
[00:16] <meditatingfrog> Huufarted:  have you tried "top"?
[00:17] <Laci> abc2xyz no problem, basically I'm here: Put in Live CD, selected INSTALL, was dumped to command prompt because xorg could not find the display, EDITED xorg.conf to recognize display, ran STARTX and now I'm at the GUI but unable to run the INSTALL icon on the desktop
[00:17] <redvamp128> meditatingfrog:  I am currently on Hardy -- but I do have a hard drive with that istalled just not in a system currently -- for me it broke more than it was worth
[00:17] <Huufarted> meditatingfrog, I'm looking for a realtime network monitor, not process monitor
[00:17] <meditatingfrog> redvamp128:  I would agree with you...in a way, I think I upgraded more for the challenge...the one thing that it "fixed" was the wifi driver for me...I don't have to use ndiswrapper anymore
[00:17] <redvamp128> meditatingfrog:  I was actually going to wait to put it back in when Jaunty hits heta
[00:18] <steve``> how do you set the colours that ESC]R resets to?
[00:18] <zsquareplusc> Laci: sounds like you're a candidate for the alternate install cd. that one installs in text mode and you can fix X.org once it is installed on the disk.
[00:19] <abc2xyz> Laci press F4 and select the Install a command-line system option
[00:20] <abc2xyz> laci or burn another copy of ISO
[00:21] <redvamp128> Laci:  if you choose to install the alternate cd-- just make sure it is connected to the internet and when prompted type = "cli" to start the install
[00:21] <newt-home> Laci, you cant find drivers for your video chipset can you?
[00:21] <cs_student> boxee froze on me.  How can I kill the process.  The task manager doesn't kill it.
[00:22] <meditatingfrog> redvamp128: I should probably install Intrepid on my desktop, I used it to netboot this laptop which was pretty cool
[00:22] <ifroog> Is bluetooth broken on 8.10?
[00:22] <DarkKnight> i have two hard disks.. is it possible for me to make one installation of ubuntu
[00:22] <Lulkat> Well the resolution problem is fixed, but the text looks weird
[00:22] <Rauf> DarkKnight: Yes it is.
[00:22] <cs_student> nm
[00:22] <meditatingfrog> cs_student:  ps aux to find the process id then kill processid
[00:22] <meditatingfrog> cs_student: sorry
[00:22] <abc2xyz> cs_student: killall -v name
[00:23] <Lulkat> But the same resolution on vista looks just fine
[00:23] <Pandah> DarkKnight, Yes it gives you the option to install on a single drive or partition your existing system one
[00:23] <redvamp128> meditatingfrog:  I found intrepid broke for me the following= webcam= nvidia drivers (scrambled text) wine, and also flash
[00:23] <koshar2> meditatingfrog i run both myth and xbmc
[00:23] <cs_student> thanks
[00:23] <ifroog> !bluetooth
[00:23] <DarkKnight> Rauf, Pandah; so that means one installation covers both the disks?
[00:23] <islan> hmm ... I don't suppose anyone can help me with using wine's regedit, could they?
[00:23] <Pandah> DarkKnight,
[00:23] <Pandah> NOpe
[00:23] <meditatingfrog> redvamp128:  best not then
[00:23] <Pandah> only one of them
[00:24] <Rauf> DarkKnight:  No.
[00:24] <redvamp128> islan:  try room - #winehq
[00:24] <islan> thanks
[00:24] <Pandah> Just make sure it is installed on the hardrive you want it on and Not Your existing system one
[00:24] <DarkKnight> Rauf, Pandah; why so?
[00:24] <Rauf> What he says ^
[00:24] <meditatingfrog> redvamp128:  I think 8.10 is faster with Flash movies and scripts...but that's probably just the new ver of flash from adobe
[00:25] <Pandah> DarkKnight, Because it only requires the one drive to boot from..
[00:25] <meditatingfrog> has anyone compiled their own kernel?
[00:25] <jatt> how do I delete an entry from the applications menu?
[00:25] <yowshi> i need help getting my graphics drivers working
[00:25] <redvamp128> meditatingfrog:  you may want to ask someone in the #ubuntu-developer room about that one
[00:25] <yowshi> again
[00:26] <DarkKnight> Pandah; then what's the solution...can i make installation on one drive and create directories in the other
[00:26] <Armag3ddon> hello all
[00:26] <hikenboot> I issued the following commands and got insufficent free extends any ideas http://www.pastebin.ca/1344017
[00:26] <Rauf> DarkKnight: Do you have vista installed now?
[00:26] <yowshi> an nvidia 8800 gts
[00:26] <DarkKnight> Rauf;no
[00:26] <Armag3ddon> i installed Bittorrent using synaptic but i cant find it in Applications any help ?
[00:26] <Rauf> XP?
[00:26] <yowshi> imachine: you still around?
[00:26] <DarkKnight> Rauf, Pandah; i have a 8GB disk and a 160GB disk
[00:26] <Plugh> meditatingfrog: Done that a lot in the past. Just not recently. What is the problem?
[00:27] <DarkKnight> Rauf, Pandah; i have XP on 80GB and ubuntu on 160GB
[00:27] <abc2xyz> Armag3ddon: under internet?
[00:27] <Pandah> DarkKnight, You can but that would be a pain in the ass meaning you'd have to make a partition on your existing drive and format it to something it like ext3 and then format the other drive so you can read your files inlinux from it
[00:27] <Armag3ddon> abc2xyz, ? i dont understand
[00:27] <Armag3ddon> abc2xyz, yea through synaptic :/
[00:27] <ifroog> Any one here got bluetooth working in 8.10?
[00:27] <meditatingfrog> Plugh: not really a problem...thought it might be a worthwhile project
[00:27] <Plugh> Armag3ddon: IIRC, that is just the command line tool. Check for a bittorrent-gui package
[00:27] <abc2xyz> Armag3ddon: try restarting
[00:28] <Rauf> DarkKnight: So what is your problem exactly if you already have ubuntu and xp?
[00:28] <Armag3ddon> abc2xyz, i did
[00:28] <DarkKnight> Rauf, Pandah; wanted to cover both the disks with ubuntu and then use VirtualBox to install XP, Open Solaris
[00:28] <meditatingfrog> ifroog:  what are you using bluetooth for?
[00:28] <DarkKnight> Rauf, Pandah; and maybe even fedora
[00:28] <Armag3ddon> Plugh, it is installed
[00:28] <ifroog> Send files to my pda.
[00:28] <Pandah> then do it it wont hurt
[00:28] <ifroog> meditatingfrog,
[00:28] <Lulkat> After changing my resolution, everything looks fine except the text.  It looks like everything is bunched in too closely, how would I fix that?
[00:28] <Rauf> Ahah, well, that is not my thing. I never did that
[00:29] <meditatingfrog> DarkKnight:  are you talking about RAID?
[00:29] <DarkKnight> meditatingfrog; nope; I suppose thats only for a back up
[00:29] <ScottG489> Whenever i sudo nautilus it changes my background to the default and gets rid of compiz's. But even when I close it, its still there. How can I get it to reset or to stop this from happening?
[00:29] <ifroog> Anyone?
[00:29] <meditatingfrog> ifroog:  Have you synced your pda with a Linux distro before?
[00:29] <redvamp128> Lulkat:  try going to system- prefereces- appearence - then fonts - I have mine set for Subpixel Smoothing-- I think default is set for Monochrome
[00:29] <meditatingfrog> DarkKnight:  Raid 0 is for speed
[00:30] <meditatingfrog> I think
[00:30] <tabidachi> ScottG489, why are you #sudo nautilus?
[00:30] <McShane> ScottG489, gksudo nautilus; don't use sudo for graphical apps
[00:30] <DarkKnight> meditatingfrog; and the others?
[00:30] <ifroog> meditatingfrog, I Used to send filed for kde using kbluetoothd in gutsy, now i moved to gnome and it just wont send files.
[00:31] <Pandah> DarkKnight, If you want to install ubuntu on both drives then do so.. format the other hardrive you Don't want ubuntu to be installed on and then partition it when linux is installed on the other that way you can use it no problem
[00:31] <meditatingfrog> DarkKnight:  redundancy...I think raid 5 is supposed to offer both...Striping with Parity
[00:31] <ScottG489> McShane: Tabasco: Ill keep that in mind from now on. However, the results are the same either way. I have tried it both ways.
[00:31] <meditatingfrog> DarkKnight:  Raid 0 for speed, and do daily backups of your critical data, like word documents etc.
[00:31] <meditatingfrog> DarkKnight:  I shouldn't say daily...perhaps nightly
[00:32] <meditatingfrog> shit
[00:32] <EdSquareCat> i just used the shortcut "ctrl + alt + ++" to change my resolution and now everything on my monitor is huge.  my resolution is listed as 1280 x 1024 but its actually not. how do i revert?
[00:32] <meditatingfrog> word...what am I saying?!
[00:32] <redvamp128> !language | meditatingfrog
[00:32] <Muffinator> hehe, I was about to say that too.  lol
[00:32] <meditatingfrog> pardon my french
[00:33] <yowshi> i need help getting my nvidia graphics drivers working
[00:33] <Pandah> oh god my wireless on ubuntu is horrible :/
[00:33] <nclife> hey. I need to set to native two .dll files on wine. I added them to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 and the hit winecfg > libraries, but they are not there. Did I do something wrong?
[00:33] <DarkKnight> meditatingfrog, Pandah,meditatingfrog; i am only aiming to use multiple distros... i thought on making seperate installation but then i was worried of disk performance.so i thought using VirtualBox was better
[00:34] <redvamp128> nclife:  ask in #winehq  (but to answer your question you need to put those files inside the program folder (or the where) the program is that you want to fix)
[00:35] <ScottG489> McShane: Tabasco: What should I do to fix this problem or prevent it frm happening in the future?
[00:35] <meditatingfrog> DarkKnight:  are you saying you're going to emulate an OS in Ubuntu instead of having separate installs?
[00:35] <redvamp128> nclife:  just make sure you don't overwrite the native ones inside the /.wine/drive_c/windows folder
[00:35] <n2diy> I'm cloning this box to some newer hardware, so far I've moved my /home directory, but that didn't bring my apps, with it, what else should I copy to the target box?
[00:35] <DarkKnight> meditatingfrog; whats emulate...
[00:36] <McShane> ScottG489, dunno, haven't heard of that one
[00:36] <meditatingfrog> DarkKnight:  like WINE, WINdows Emulator
[00:36] <DarkKnight> meditatingfrog; not exactly, but on VirtualBox...
[00:36] <nclife> redvamp128, mh. The howto I read said I should add the to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32, is that the same than ~/.wine/windows/system32?
[00:37] <nclife> them*
[00:37] <redvamp128> nclife:  NO that will Break Wine
[00:37] <meditatingfrog> DarkKnight:  is VirtualBox an emulator?  generally speaking emulation is less efficient
[00:37] <nclife> heh, I'll erase them then :p
[00:37] <nclife> redvamp128, how can I acces C: ... from the cl then?
[00:37] <meditatingfrog> DarkKnight:  and if you think Raid 0 (striping) will offset the performance, I would bet that isn't true
[00:38] <redvamp128> nclife:  I just hope you didn't overwrite them or else you will have to reinstall wine
[00:38] <DarkKnight> meditatingfrog; yes kind of...when i have virtualBox.. i can access a Widows desktop on the Ubuntu itself
[00:38] <DarkKnight> meditatingfrog; yes kind of emulator...when i have virtualBox.. i can access a Windows desktop on the Ubuntu itself
[00:38] <meditatingfrog> DarkKnight:  what do you need the windows desktop for?
[00:38] <nclife> redvamp128, hehe, i did overwrite one... :s
[00:39] <ilioscio_> hey all
[00:39] <DarkKnight> meditatingfrog; there are some functons which a windows can perform and ubuntu can't
[00:39] <redvamp128> nclife:  basically simple easy-- lets say you want to use fix dcom38.dll (just a fake example)- and you choose use native dcom38.dll you just put it in folder of the program you are trying to fix in the program folder or the folder where you are trying to run it.
[00:39] <nilson>  Are a lot of people experiencing a huge performance hit with X.org in Jaunty lately?
[00:40] <crdlb> nilson: #ubuntu+1 for jaunty, please
[00:40] <yowshi> can i get some help getting my nvidia graphics drivers working
[00:40] <redvamp128> nclife:  and then you use the wine configure to point to the .exe of the file and choose the use native dcom38.dll  (then if it is in that folder where the .exe) it will then use it
[00:40] <meditatingfrog> DarkKnight:  I would think in terms of performance having separate installs would be best...BUT it might be worth it, if you can get virtualbox running, but I would think that striping would not offset the performance decrease, have you got VirtualBox running on your Ubuntu install now?
[00:40] <redvamp128> nclife:  you may want to reinstall wine
[00:40] <nclife> redvamp128, yep. What's the command for that agian?
[00:40] <nilson> crdlb, thanks
[00:41] <redvamp128> nclife:  what version of wine did you have?
[00:41] <DarkKnight> meditatingfrog; no. i have made seperate installs
[00:41] <crypto5> Hi guys, have problem -- using 8.10 and have audio sync problems with mplayer. Maybe somebody can advise me how can I investigate that?
[00:41] <meditatingfrog> DarkKnight:  I don't even use WINE...there is nothing that I need that windows offers...just speed and...I realize this is sad for me to say since I'm not a hacker, reliability
[00:41] <meditatingfrog> DarkKnight:  do you have VirtualBox installed on your Ubuntu install?
[00:41] <plytheman> does anyone have a minute to help me make a chart in open office... no one is active in the oo.org channel
[00:41] <nclife> redvamp128, 1.0.1 I believe
[00:41] <meditatingfrog> DarkKnight:  are you in Ubuntu now?
[00:42] <nclife> 1.0
[00:42] <redvamp128> nclife:  you could try sudo apte-get install wine
[00:42] <bluequijote> someone could tell me how could I listen mms radio stream in amarok? amd64
[00:42] <DarkKnight> meditatingfrog; ya in hardy..but no virtualbox
[00:42] <redvamp128> nclife:  sudo apt-get install wine
[00:42] <meditatingfrog> anyone want to help me write my novel in openoffice?  :)
[00:42] <plytheman> lol
[00:43] <sagredo> hi, how can I set mplayer to not start with pulse audio? it errors everytime I open a video stream
[00:43] <nclife> redvamp128, says wine is already the newest version
[00:43] <redvamp128> nclife:  though you should probably -- go into synaptic package manger and uninstall wine there then reinstall it.
[00:43] <nclife> yes, that's what I'll do
[00:43] <axisys> how do you create a nfs share folder?
[00:43] <axisys> !nfs
[00:43] <meditatingfrog> DarkKnight:  what I'm recommending is set up virtualbox in Hardy, now, then see how it performs...if you install Ubuntu across two hard drives (RAID = Redundant Array of Independent Disks), it is my judgement that the performance benefits won't be considerable enough
[00:43] <redvamp128> nclife:  do you understand now-- how the use native works?
[00:43] <kristian2> can anyone recommend me a sfv checker. :-)
[00:43] <nclife> redvamp128, to be totally honest, not quiet. :p
[00:44] <meditatingfrog> !virtualbox
[00:44] <redvamp128> nclife:  pm?
[00:44] <nclife> yes
[00:44] <musikgoat|main> kristian2: cksfv
[00:44] <n2diy> I'm cloning this box to some newer hardware, so far I've moved my /home directory, but that didn't bring my apps, with it, what else should I copy to the target box?
[00:44] <DarkKnight> meditatingfrog; ok and is RAID really necessary?
[00:44] <kristian2> musikgoat|main : thanks! :-) will check it out. long time, no see.
[00:44] <adaptr> yes
[00:45] <meditatingfrog> DarkKnight:  You talked about installing Ubuntu ACROSS two physical hard disks, right?
[00:45] <musikgoat|main> kristian2: :-) sure thing
[00:46] <meditatingfrog> bless me
[00:46] <jtrag> hi guys
[00:46] <kito> hey all
[00:46] <zacktu> pytheman: what are you trying to do?
[00:46] <kito> i'm new user for ubuntu  system
[00:46] <musikgoat|main> !hi | kito and jtrag
[00:46] <jtrag> anyone have an idea why my sound isn't working with ubuntu 8.10 on a nforce 680i motherboard with onboard sound?
[00:47] <meditatingfrog> jtrag:  is it all sounds?
[00:47] <jtrag> yeah, nothing works
[00:47] <jtrag> I went into the hardware config and tried to detect it and it wont
[00:47] <meditatingfrog> jtrag:  did you do system pref sounds?  then do test?
[00:47] <jtrag> I even manually selected the drivers
[00:48] <jtrag> yes, the test fails
[00:48] <meditatingfrog> jtrag:  error message?
[00:48] <zoltron> i just got a new atheros wireless card. how do i enable it for use in Ubuntu? it doesn't show up in iwconfig
[00:48] <jtrag> no errors
[00:48] <kristian2> musikgoat|main : E: Couldn't find package cksfv - know of any on the repo? or maybe i should just install manually.
[00:48] <jtrag> it just don't work
[00:48] <meditatingfrog> zoltron:  is it a 5xxx card?
[00:48] <meditatingfrog> jtrag:  what happens when you hit test?  nothing?
[00:48] <jtrag> nothing at all
[00:49] <DarkKnight> meditatingfrog; ya..but its only for increasing disk space
[00:49] <meditatingfrog> are all the volume controls turned up?
[00:49] <Z0E> im tyring to open up a port but cant, could someone tell me how i guess im doing it wrong
[00:49] <jtrag> it's odd... with opensuse, it detects my nvidia raid and my soundcard automatically
[00:49] <rdw200169> Z0E, what are you trying to do?
[00:49] <jtrag> yeah, volume controls are all turned up but most aren't available
[00:50] <jtrag> just the master volume even though it's a 5.1 surround system
[00:50] <n2diy> I'm cloning this box to some newer hardware, so far I've moved my /home directory, but that didn't bring my apps, with it, what else should I copy to the target box?
[00:50] <meditatingfrog> DarkKnight: hmmm, well it would increase disk space, but you would have to get your windows software working in Virtualbox
[00:50] <rdw200169> Z0E, are you trying to open a port for someone to access something on the internet... if thats the case, are you behind a router?
[00:50] <jtrag> in hardware, it's not even showing a card at all
[00:50] <jtrag> if I manually try to add it, it gives an error
[00:50] <musikgoat|main> kristian2: wierd, it was available in fiesty and before... I'm checking if its in some other package
[00:50] <Z0E> no im on backtrack trying to set up a database to use with metasploit
[00:51] <meditatingfrog> DarkKnight:  it's an interesting project...if you have the time...and if you're only expecting an increase in diskspace out of it...
[00:51] <meditatingfrog> DarkKnight:  and how critical are your windows apps?
[00:51] <musikgoat|main> kristian2: looks like it was deleted from hardy :-(
[00:51] <danbhfive> how does one fix resolution?
[00:52] <kristian2> musikgoat|main : alright. how come? know of any other sfv checkers that are good and in repo?
[00:52] <yowshi> can i get some help getting my nvidia graphics drivers working
[00:52] <danbhfive> how does one fix wrongly detected screen resolution?
[00:52] <McShane> jtrag, try this thread:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578
[00:53] <Z0E> could someone tell me how to open up a port for tcp connections
[00:53] <quiksilver> please help me i am so frustrated with ubuntu, settings are always changing somehow
[00:53] <meditatingfrog> quiksilver:  why are you frustrated?  are you unable to get your work don?
[00:53] <quiksilver> everytime i open firefox to browse, the minimise/maximize tab is gone and the window takes up the full screen
[00:54] <quiksilver> i cant access applications, places, or systems at the top
[00:54] <zoltron> meditatingfrog, AR5007G
[00:54] <quiksilver> this magically happened when i restarted
[00:54] <redvamp128> quiksilver:  do you have compiz running?
[00:54] <DarkKnight> meditatingfrog; and i have a dual processor that means 64 bit..i have a 64bit ubuntu but i feel using 32bit is still better
[00:54] <quiksilver> no
[00:54] <alen_> how to turn off the connection lines(when somebody gets online or offline) in irssi?
[00:54] <meditatingfrog> quiksilver:  f11
[00:54] <mikewu> alen_: /ignore #ubuntu JOINS PARTS QUITS
[00:54] <meditatingfrog> ?
[00:54] <wizzer> is it possible to restart WINE
[00:55] <musikgoat|main> kristian2: well, to be honest, thats what i used in the past, i haven't had any reason to check them as of late... give me a sec to keep looking
[00:55] <meditatingfrog> zoltron:  there is a package that might help you in synaptic package manager, I wrote a blog about it
[00:55] <meditatingfrog> I will pm you the blog
[00:55] <alen_> mikewu: tnx
[00:56] <quiksilver> meditatingfrog: you're a god, thank you so much
[00:56] <zoltron> meditatingfrog, ok. the driver shows up in the Hardware Driver control panel and says it's active... i'm just unsure how to use it...
[00:56] <Zeneth> ok so i type cp /boot /media/fd and i get cp: omitting directory `boot/' any reason why this isnt working?
[00:56] <kristian2> musikgoat|main : i can't find anything, how do you search the repo for specific tools, like a sfv checker like now?
[00:56] <Zeneth> i am root via sudo bash
[00:56] <mikewu> Zeneth: add the -r flag to make it recursive
[00:56] <meditatingfrog> quiksilver:  it was a shot in the dark
[00:56] <sfire> I am having trouble with my wireless on resume... I have modified the ifup script in /etc/acpi/resume.d to include the fix that I have found but for whatever reason it doesn't seem to be running it on resume.. any ideas?
[00:56] <langmuir> I used to be able to forward X by doing ssh -X host, and now it has stopped working, I get Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keycannot open display:
[00:56] <Zeneth> does that go before or after the /boot or /media...
[00:56] <jrib> Zeneth: use « sudo -i » instead of « sudo bash » if you need a root shell
[00:56] <musikgoat|main> kristian2: aptitude search stringname
[00:57] <meditatingfrog> zoltron:  the driver you are trying to use probably isn't the right one...I have atheros 5406 on my laptop...I used to have to use the ndiswrapper to get it working
[00:57] <musikgoat|main> kristian2: there is aparently cfv
[00:57] <Laci> I'm back! Got knocked offline *blah*
[00:57] <mikewu> Zeneth: cp -r /boot /media/fd
[00:57] <Laci> ^-^ still can't this thing installed
[00:57] <cs_student> I guess boxee doesn't have too good of support for linux?  It looks like abc.com streaming,a and a few other streams don't work on linux with boxee.
[00:57] <MrWizeGuy1983> is there a good room to get help with wireless?
[00:58] <meditatingfrog> zoltron:  be patient, have to look it up, taking time to recall what package you need that adds functionality to atheros 5xxx drivers
[00:58] <zoltron> meditatingfrog, so if it were the right driver, it would show up properly in iwconfig?
[00:58] <MrWizeGuy1983> a friend of mine just downloaded linux mint 6 (based on ubuntu 8.10) and her linksys wireless card isn't working
[00:58] <meditatingfrog> zoltron:  with the right driver you can use the network settings in the system tray
[00:58] <MrWizeGuy1983> any idea how to fix it or who to ask?
[00:59] <Laci> OK, when Installing Ubuntu where xorg.conf needs to be manually configured to display the GUI, what do I do next to complete the install??
[00:59] <jrib> !linuxmint | MrWizeGuy1983
[00:59] <jrib> !mint | MrWizeGuy1983
[00:59] <steve``> !mintsupport
[00:59] <kristian2> musikgoat|main : thanks. will have a look. :-)
[01:00] <Harold_pa_> what does it mean if i'm the only user coming up under 'who' but in netstat i can see another ip ssh'ing established??
[01:00] <grobda24> Hello. I have a USB drive mounting to a persistent mount point (for music library, etc) using an ID in fstab ... but I get weird behaviour. Mount point keeps changing. Some dirs' disappears and files are unreadable. I've run fsck with no errors.
[01:00] <joe-mac> it means a socket is open Har
[01:00] <joe-mac> Harold_pa_:
[01:00] <meditatingfrog> zoltron: try installing linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic package
[01:01] <joe-mac> a socket is established before a login session is established
[01:01] <Harold_pa_> joe-mac: so it could be they're trying to login atm?
[01:02] <zoltron> meditatingfrog, ok. anything i have to do next?
[01:02] <steve``> Harold_pa_, or sitting at a login prompt
[01:02] <Harold_pa_> ahh awesome, thanks so much for the response :)
[01:02] <Zeneth> ok how do i make a copy of the entire filesystem and copy it over to a share mounted at /media/exhd?
[01:02] <Harold_pa_> so for now i'm safe?
[01:02] <wizzer> what in the
[01:02] <Harold_pa_> but if they appear in the user list then there's trouble?
[01:02] <steve``> Harold_pa_; kill the connection and see what happens ;)
[01:02] <wizzer> can anyone explain why my sound randomly started working
[01:03] <Harold_pa_> nice, thanks steve :)
[01:03] <meditatingfrog> zoltron:  administration -> hardware drivers, disable the old driver, and enable the new one for atheros 5xxx
[01:04] <yowshi> can i get some help getting my nvidia graphics drivers working
[01:04] <jrib> yowshi: system -> administration -> hardware drivers
[01:04] <musikgoat|main> kristian2: did you figure out how to use cfv?
[01:04] <zoltron> meditatingfrog, ok, done. it has a little reboot icon next to the disabled driver. reboot now?
[01:05] <meditatingfrog> zoltron:  go for it
[01:05] <zoltron> meditatingfrog, alright, brb.
[01:05] <yowshi> jrib: tried that didnt work
[01:05] <meditatingfrog> alright, zoltron
[01:05] <jrib> yowshi: then you might want to be more specific
[01:05] <meditatingfrog> is there anyone in here that has work they need to get done, but can't because Ubuntu isn't functioning?
[01:06] <jrib> meditatingfrog: #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support discussion please
[01:06] <squarebracket> what's that command to see what programs have a drive in use?
[01:06] <jrib> squarebracket: lsof? fuser?
[01:06] <squarebracket> lsof!
[01:06] <meditatingfrog> jrib:  I was trying to categorize who I should try to help first
[01:06] <kristian2> musikgoat|main : i need to unzip a file to come to the .sfv.
[01:06] <adaptr> jrib: he asked a very astute meta-question
[01:06] <squarebracket> thanks jrib :)
[01:06] <meditatingfrog> I have some experience with Nvidia drivers, whoever asked
[01:06] <yowshi> jrib: i have tried the hardware driver option. i tried going into synaptic and reinstalling all the drivers but for some reason i can get opengl to work which is needed for some games i play on wine. this probably isnt a ine problem though sincxe they worked before i started altering my xorg.conf file as per ecomendations to get my usb mouse working
[01:06] <meditatingfrog> thank you adaptr
[01:07] <kristian2> musikgoat|main : tried to unrar-free but it didn't work.
[01:07] <jrib> kristian2: you want "unrar", not "unrar-free"
[01:07] <kristian2> musikgoat|main : it's zipped because its a small app, if you know what i mean.
[01:08] <musikgoat|main> kristian2: pm me
[01:09] <Harold_pa_> wow there's alot of time_waits from them too on ssh
[01:09] <kristian2> jrib : xxxxxxxxx.zip is not RAR archive - this is what unrar gave me.
[01:09] <Harold_pa_> i'd say they're trying to brute their way in
[01:09] <Harold_pa_> still, i guess it'd be boring if noone tried to get in
[01:09] <Harold_pa_> hehe
[01:09] <kristian2> musikgoat|main : ok
[01:09] <jrib> kristian2: what does the « file » command tell you about it?
[01:09] <zoltron> meditatingfrog, connected via the wireless card now :) thanks for your help!
[01:09] <meditatingfrog> zoltron:  you are a god and you are welcome
[01:10] <kristian2> jrib : no files to extract
[01:10] <jrib> kristian2: run « file PATH_TO_YOUR_FILE »
[01:13] <kristian2> jrib : ah! :-P xxxxxxxxxxx.zip: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract
[01:13] <jrib> kristian2: so did you try "unzip"?  (or just double clicking)?
[01:14] <kristian2> will do it now.
[01:14] <kristian2> works. using cli, didn't know unzip worked. :-P thanks.
[01:15] <varmit> Dose anyone know were i can find a good page on how to set up wow on wine or crossover?
[01:15] <unclemike> can i take a distro that is built on ubuntu..and ..like opengeu...take out there main repo..and put ubuntu's main repo...and upgrade it to ubuntu
[01:16] <squarebracket> sometimes when i restart my media server via ssh it drops to a root shell instead of restarting... help?
[01:16] <redvamp128> unclemike:  which distro are you talking about-- because you can for example make a xubuntu into an ubuntu -- also a kubuntu to ubuntu
[01:18] <newt-home> well as long as they are all gnubuntus I guess that'll be ok
[01:18] <nijan> Hello all, I'm trying to set up my wireless connection for the first time. I ve alread installed the proper kernel and drivers for my card and from iwconfig it seems to be working well, but dhclient always exit with an annoying no dhcp offers; am I missing something? the connectio is not encrypted and no authentication is required; I ve also tried tomanually set the ssid I got from both the router and iwconfig. Any clue?
[01:18] <unclemike> redvamp128, its OpenGEU, previously known as Geubuntu
[01:18] <newt-home> nijan, have you restarted the machine yet?  sometimes that is helpful
[01:19] <nijan> yes, something like a thousand times
[01:19] <newt-home> nijan, I guess this means it wasnt automatically recognized and configured?
[01:19] <newt-home> nijan, are you using gnome?
[01:19] <meditatingfrog> is beyond linux from scratch a good manual to read?
[01:19] <redvamp128> unclemike:  then you should be able to add the ubuntu the ubuntu desktop
[01:19] <jrib> yowshi: pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:19] <nijan> newt-home: iwscan reveal it and ifconfig is showing the connection
[01:20] <newt-home> nijan, so you arent using networkmanager?
[01:20] <redvamp128> unclemike:  then just log off then choose the options- window manger -- gnome
[01:20] <yowshi> jrib:  http://pastebin.com/f16f421fa
[01:20] <nijan> newt-home: no, no networkmanager, Im Xless :)
[01:20] <Aeosynth> how do i set ubuntu to not lock the screen when i come out of hibernation?
[01:20] <jrib> yowshi: you aren't using the nvidia driver
[01:20] <musikgoat|main> nijan: could there not be a dhcp server on the network you are connecting to?
[01:20] <unclemike> redvamp128, ok thanks...all opengeu is is taking the power of gnome and adding the icandy of E17
[01:21] <newt-home> ahhh
[01:21] <redvamp128> unclemike:  I think the command line to it  is -  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[01:21] <yowshi> jrib: yeah that might be the problem the question is why isnt it being used when i have tried both methods to reinstall it
[01:21] <jrib> yowshi: it's not setup to be used in xorg.conf.  Hardware Drivers does this when you enable the driver
[01:21] <newt-home> musikgoat|main, that would be very unusual but possible
[01:22] <nijan> musikgoat|main: no, it works fine via eth and with windows, I have also tried with a static ip, but nothing
[01:22] <Aeosynth> how do I keep screen unlocked when I come out of hibernation?
[01:22] <musikgoat|main> nijan: just had to ask :-)
[01:22] <nijan> what is frustrating is that I cant get any log error
[01:22] <yowshi> jrib: but i tried the deactive driver reactivate driver thing first
[01:22] <newt-home> nijan, what does ifconfig show ?
[01:22] <musikgoat|main> nijan: what wireless driver?
[01:22] <nijan> or at least I dont know where to look for
[01:22] <jrib> yowshi: you did that now?  before pastebinning your xorg.conf?
[01:23] <nijan> it's 5100 intel, but I have the driver and .28 installed
[01:23] <unclemike> redvamp128, i think your right.... for some reason i have trouble installing ubuntu and ubuntu based distro's...always geting a error message saying something read or write..maybe drive bad....when i know drives are good
[01:23] <muxomor> njan: dmesg | tail shows messages
[01:23] <yowshi> jrib: yeah before pastebining it like an hour ago maybe a little less
[01:23] <newt-home> nijan, thats the new abn mini pci card .... hmmm
[01:23] <jrib> yowshi: so Hardware Drivers says the driver is enabled?
[01:23] <yowshi> jrib: when that failed i went to synaptic and marked it for reinstallation
[01:23] <tulexx> hi all
[01:23] <muxomor> njan: then you can see, if all is going ok, may be hardware or module problem#
[01:23] <newt-home> there have been issues with that one in other distros
[01:23] <nijan> ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready
[01:24] <newt-home> not familiar enough with ubuntu to say
[01:24] <yowshi> jrib: yes itg says it is active and currently in use
[01:24] <jrib> yowshi: what package are you using for the driver?
[01:24] <redvamp128> unclemike:  you may have to enable the multiverse (or add the apt lines for the same distro)
[01:24] <yowshi> jrib: ???
[01:24] <jrib> yowshi: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[01:24] <nijan> the hardware is fine, it actually works well on win
[01:24] <yowshi> jrib: 8.10
[01:25] <newt-home> you shouldn't have to add any drivers though iirc nijan as the intel pro wireless cards are usually included in the installation driver set
[01:25] <jrib> yowshi: aptitude search '~i~nnvidia-glx'
[01:25] <dusty> Hey guys I am having some trouble getting dual monitors working with one big desktop setup.  I have enabled the restricted fglrx driver, and then performed the following: aticonfig --initial=dual-head --screen-layout=left then aticonfig --dtop=horizontal --overlay-type=Xv and then restart X and it goes into X with my desktop wallpaper  but nothing else happens just two monitors with the wallpaper on cant click etc.. can anyone help me
[01:25] <dusty>  with this?
[01:25] <danes_> need help. I changed some settings in compiz, and now the entire screen is black. Even when I restarted, the screen is black, how can I deactivate compiz?
[01:25] <shinobi-cl> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86xFeK2h_bU&feature=related
[01:25] <muxomor> njan:  and how you established connection? via iwconfig? then  - is channel set to yours, correct interface name (from ifconfig)
[01:25] <newt-home> I am sure of that nijan no questions as to your hardware
[01:25] <nijan> well, i have to say that once, and only once it worked...
[01:25] <unclemike> k
[01:25] <yowshi> jrib: i   nvidia-glx-177                                                         - NVIDIA binary Xorg driver

[01:26] <danes_> need help. I changed some settings in compiz, and now the entire screen is black. Even when I restarted, the screen is black, how can I deactivate compiz?
[01:26] <nijan> muxomor: what does it mean channel set to yours?
[01:26] <Clinteger> Can I use Ubuntu with GNU Hurd?
[01:26] <newt-home> channel 6 or 11 are the usual choices
[01:26] <jrib> yowshi: lsmod | grep nvidia
[01:26] <mercutio22> danes_> run metacity --replace
[01:26] <danes_> mercutio22, how?
[01:26] <dusty> anyone?
[01:26] <newt-home> and are you in the right bandwidth such as a,b,g ,or n?
[01:26] <muxomor> njan: one can establish connection with iwconfig, you must then write channel, on which youtr router is sending signal, essid and interface name
[01:26] <yowshi> jrib: a number of entires
[01:27] <jrib> !anyone | dusty
[01:27] <amshake> anyone?
[01:27] <jrib> yowshi: so the "nvidia" module is loaded?
[01:27] <yowshi> jrib: one of them is nvidia
[01:27] <mercutio22> danes_> alt+F2
[01:27] <amshake> It really shouldn't be this hard to share files between to ubuntu machines
[01:27] <Clinteger> Can I use Ubuntu with GNU Hurd?
[01:27] <dusty> jrgp, I already asked the question...
[01:27] <dusty> Hey guys I am having some trouble getting dual monitors working with one big desktop setup.  I have enabled the restricted fglrx driver, and then performed the following: aticonfig --initial=dual-head --screen-layout=left then aticonfig --dtop=horizontal --overlay-type=Xv and then restart X and it goes into X with my desktop wallpaper  but nothing else happens just two monitors with the wallpaper on cant click etc.. can anyone help me
[01:27] <newt-home> I didnt know that muxomor
[01:27] <sfire>  I am having trouble with my wireless on resume... I have modified the ifup script in /etc/acpi/resume.d to include the fix that I have found but for whatever reason it doesn't seem to be running it on resume.. any ideas?  I need to run a few commands on each resume
[01:27] <dusty>  with this?
[01:27] <FloodBot2> dusty: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:27] <lstarnes> Clinteger: I don't think so
[01:27] <jrib> yowshi: ok, use http://paste.ubuntu.com/121269/ as your xorg.conf
[01:27] <n2diy> how do you tell if a process is still running?
[01:27] <nijan> i just did a ifconfig down, up; iwconfig wlan0 essid and mode managed
[01:27] <Clinteger> okay :(
[01:27] <yowshi> jrib: if it's nvidia in the output of that command then yes
[01:28] <voix> hi all
[01:28] <yowshi> jrib: *sighs* alright breaking my system again
[01:28] <musikgoat|main> n2diy: you can check in the output of "ps aux"
[01:28] <jrib> yowshi: if it breaks, pastebin the /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:28] <muxomor> newt-home: serious?or you think, that i am saying worng info? i personally get my connection with iwconfig wlan0 essid xxx channel xxx key s: for wep in ascii
[01:28] <danes_> mercutio22, so I just press "alt+F2" then type "metacity --replace"? Remember, the screen is black, so I cannot see anything
[01:28] <mercutio22> danes_> yep
[01:29] <muxomor> njan: essid your_essid channel your_channel
[01:29] <yowshi> jrib: could i just paste it into my xorg.conf?
[01:29] <muxomor> myay be so?
[01:29] <nijan> Ok, i ll try and restart it
[01:29] <newt-home> muxomor, I never heard that but again I dont use cli to set up my wireless.  I specifically choose my hardware to be linux compliant and it automagically configures by installing the os
[01:29] <voix> can i get some help for my intel graphic card
[01:29] <jrib> yowshi: replace what is currently in yours with the pastebin, yes
[01:29] <mercutio22> danes_> yea, maybe there's a smarter way
[01:29] <whileimhere> When is the next upgrade for Ubuntu scheduled?
[01:29] <jrib> whileimhere: april
[01:29] <newt-home> I am going to have to do some reading up to be of any help  so actually I as asking...really??
[01:29] <whileimhere> Ahh any major improvements?
[01:30] <muxomor> newt-home:  well, it works also, but njan said he is in tty, so...
[01:30] <computer_> .
[01:30] <jrib> !jaunty | whileimhere
[01:30] <jrib> whileimhere: you can get more info there
[01:30] <yowshi> jrib: full reboot now or just restart x?
[01:30] <jrib> yowshi: either
[01:30] <danes_> mercutio22, yeiiii you rock dude!!!
[01:30] <newt-home> I dont understand why he's cli only but thats his choice muxomor
[01:30] <whileimhere> Thanks jrib
[01:30] <danes_> mercutio22, thanks a lot!
[01:30] <voix> #join ubuntu+1
[01:30] <mercutio22> danes_> welcome =]
[01:31] <musikgoat|main> voix: its    /join #ubuntu+1
[01:31] <yowshi> jrib: thanks that seems to have fixed it
[01:32] <RockmanFL> Need simple instructions to get Ubuntu to share folder on windows network...Configuration: 3 computers: Linux Mint (Ubuntu 8.10), XP LapTop (wireless), and Vista Desktop, hard wired with linksys router...windows network named Rockswork has worked for years with windows PC's..ubuntu is dead in the water after hours of trying to fix...just installed Mint due to reviews that it worked out of the box...hmmm not really still dean on network...FYI
[01:32] <jrib> yowshi: no problem
[01:32] <whileimhere> I know that this is not really a direct Ubuntu question but I was used to using Adobe and Macromedia products. Is there a similar text editor for linux?
[01:33] <danes_> mercutio22, if I want to restore the effects later, do I just restart and that's it? Will compiz wil work again?
[01:33] <Nytrix> whileimhere> msg me
[01:33] <Aeosynth> how do I keep the screen unlocked when I come out of hibernation?
[01:34] <gajop> hello, i'm having a problem with my wireless device, it seems applications such as wifi radar don't detect it
[01:34] <Nytrix> whileimhere> like which adobe products?
[01:34] <gajop> and i don't think it's being detected with "iwconfig",  it does however appear in "Hardware devices"
[01:34] <mercutio22> danes_> try launching compiz by the terminal to see what is wrong. compiz --replace
[01:34] <yowshi> i hope that now both my mouse and my graphics problems are solved till april
[01:35] <sfire> I need to run 2 commands on resume from suspend..  modprobe -r ath_pci && modprobe ath_pci  ..  my wireless doesn't want to work unless I do it.. I've tried modifying the scripts in /etc/acpi/resume.d but they don't seem to do anything
[01:35] <gajop> really would appreciate someone helping me out with that, got to go to a conference in about 3 hours and i don't think ill have ethernet there
[01:35] <nectar> hey guys
[01:35] <meditatingfrog> !LoCo
[01:36] <nectar> after lastnight upgrading iam having issues with qt4
[01:36] <danes_> mercutio22, I got it :) I just dissabled a bunch of fancy effects, and stayed with the ones that work :]
[01:36] <nijan_> Hello, it works fine now, even if the led up the keyboard blinks. Just joined to say thanks;
[01:36] <nectar> when ever i run an application which uses qt4 i am getting some errors
[01:36] <mercutio22> danes_> good =]
[01:36] <nectar> is there anyone can help me about it?
[01:36] <mercutio22> danes_> now you can enable them again one bu one to learn which is the faulty one
[01:37] <muxomor> njan: /etc/init.d/networking restart restarts network service
[01:37] <muxomor> btw :)
[01:37] <mercutio22> danes_> * one at a time I mean
[01:37] <muxomor> so its unnecessary to restart whole system
[01:37] <meditatingfrog> !loco
[01:38] <danes_> yes, maybe, but I prefer to leave it like it is right now. I don't wanna mess with it again :S
[01:38] <nijan_> muxomor: I know, but I should configure network/interfaces first
[01:38] <nijan_> ok, I ve restarted just in case :)
[01:39] <danes_> any distribution similar to ubuntu for an old laptop running on 64 ram memory?
[01:39] <nijan_> ubuntu xfce?
[01:39] <nijan_> also known as xubuntu
[01:40] <muxomor> danes_: with openbox  without de it will run  very fast
[01:40] <Dracie> danes_, build off of ubuntu server
[01:40] <whileimhere> Would xubuntu help out even on a 1 gig ram system?
[01:40] <danes_> Dracie, ???
[01:41] <Dracie> danes_, get ubuntu server and build a system to your needs around it
[01:41] <danbhfive> danes_: I think Damn Small Linux might be what you are looking for
[01:41] <danes_> Dracie, ohhh I see
[01:41] <Dracie> DSL is not good for everyday use
[01:41] <exodus_ms> danes_, have you looked at fluxbuntu --> http://fluxbuntu.org/
[01:41] <Dracie> repo's are limited...
[01:41] <danes_> yeah, I tried it, but its very limited
[01:41] <RockmanFL> anyone know how to get ubuntu to appear on windows network to share folder? I love Linux and the community...understand open...don't feel "entitled" to get the answer...but 20 + hours now of reading, research, forums, to get a simple thing like files sharing with windows is getting to be nuts.
[01:41] <meditatingfrog> is there anyone here that's a member of a loco team, or a starter of a loco?
[01:43] <danbhfive> RockmanFL: what version are you running?
[01:43] <danes_> exodus_ms, do you think fluxbuntu will run ok with such a limited ram memory?
[01:43] <danbhfive> danes_: no
[01:44] <exodus_ms> danes_, you really should think about upgrading that ram to 128 if possible
[01:44] <danbhfive> danes_: well, last I heard, fluxbuntu could run off 92mb of ram
[01:44] <danes_> besides dsl, do you have any other suggestion?
[01:44] <muxomor> RockmanFL: i heard samba makes somrthing like communication with windows
[01:45] <exodus_ms> danes_, at least 128, DSL will probably work but it will be nothing like what you are used to with ubuntu/gnome kubuntu/kde
[01:45] <RockmanFL> danbhive I was running ubuntu 8.10 during all of the time trying to get the network to work....I just installed Linux Mint 5 hours ago (based on ubuntu 8.10) due to reviews saying it worked out of the box...still dead in the water
[01:45] <sanvarin> Can anyone tell me how to upgrade from 5.04 to 8.10 from the console (while X isn't working)?
[01:46] <sebsebseb> sanvarin: you can't just do that
[01:46] <RockmanFL> muxmomor: I have samba installed and configured to share
[01:46] <sebsebseb> savvas: you can't go from 5.04 straight to 8.10
[01:46] <sanvarin> I meant 8.04...
[01:46] <exodus_ms> sanvarin, you will need to do a fresh install or upgrade from 5.04>5.10>6.04>6.10.7.04>7.10>8.04>8.10
[01:46] <muxomor> RockmanFL: so you have now problems with configuring it?
[01:47] <danbhfive> exodus_ms: LTS upgrades to LTS :P
[01:47] <sebsebseb> sanvarin: oh can't do the  GUI way or the sources list editing way?
[01:48] <exodus_ms> danbhfive, cool, 2004 wow, that was a long time ago :P
[01:48] <sanvarin> sebsebseb: source list?
[01:48] <^Cheeky> hello how can i detect an unformated external usb hdd,  it does not have a file system in it.
[01:48] <sebsebseb> !sources
[01:48] <sebsebseb> !upgrade
[01:48] <RockmanFL> muxomor: I am not kidding when I say 20 plus hours...reading, testing, I think I have it configured based on lots of research...still dead....I have a feeling it is one simple stupid thing I am missing...I need someone that could give me step by step...in lay terms...I am new to linux but leanred PC's before windows and am learning termina commands as I leanred basic long before DOS
[01:49] <gajop> does AR5007 (Atheros wireless card) work for Ubuntu 64bit? I remember it not working on 64bit linux a long time ago, but it got fixed, so i'm not sure which version ubuntu's using
[01:49] <Nytrix> test it with livd
[01:49] <Nytrix> livecd
[01:49] <exodus_ms> sanvarin, If you use the GUI way you will need to change this to 'normal release' system>administration>software sources>updates>normal release
[01:50] <danbhfive> ^Cheeky: I think gparted will detect it
[01:50] <RockmanFL> muxomor: I am still a greenie so lots of the forum's I have read is in dialog over my head
[01:50] <^Cheeky> danbhfive, oh ok never used it, thank you
[01:50] <muxomor> RockmanFL: http://www.europe.eclipse.co.uk/Ubuntu/Ubuntu-on-win-network.htm step by step with screens, were you here already?
[01:51] <Helpneeded911> hello can anyone help me someone i know which i highly suspect keep hacking into my hotmail account. I dont know how they can hack into because im very sure they dont know my password.is that brute force ? can anyone please help me.
[01:51] <RockmanFL> muxomor: I do not think so..let me look
[01:51] <joe-mac> RockmanFL: is this active directory or workgroup networking
[01:51] <sebsebseb> Helpneeded911: this is really the wrong channel, but no proper channel for that I guess anyway
[01:51] <sebsebseb> Helpneeded911: Hotmail is pretty insecure I think
[01:51] <sanvarin> exodus_ms: The problem is that my HD is a  bit trashed and lots of libs oare missing.  It boots, but only into console.  Since the packages were trashed I want to just upgrade from the LiveCD, but it would be nice not to have to fic X first or lose data....
[01:52] <syockit> Helpneeded911: follow general guideline for creating passwords. mix numbers, small letters, capitals, also all possible symbol
[01:52] <sebsebseb> Helpneeded911: change your password and secret question and answer
[01:52] <nclife> is there a way to know the mount point of my dvd? it isn't /media/cdrom0 or cdrom1.. instead when it mounts itself, it is /media/050524_2026. Now, if I want to mount an .ISO image, what should I type for the mount point?
[01:53] <null__> does ubuntu x64 have a 32b gcc package ?
[01:53] <syockit> Helpneeded911: if your account is set to send password reminder to another mail address, check password of that mail address too. Also, make sure you don't make an easy to guess password reminder question
[01:53] <ardchoille> nclife: I use /mnt/iso for .ISO files
[01:53] <muxomor> RockmanFL:  in iorder to have some help it would be fine, if you can provide errors, which appear in process - from terminal, for example
[01:53] <joe-mac> afaik you need to cross compile null__
[01:53] <exodus_ms> sanvarin, you can backup what you need in console with 'tar' then continue on with the upgrade, is that what you are saying? Your afraid to dist-upgrade because you judge you might lose some data?
[01:53] <joe-mac> like you do when you compile sparc shit on othetr arcs
[01:53] <^Cheeky> danbhfive, hey, how do i start up gparted ?
[01:53] <syockit> nclife: you can select any empty directory for mount point
[01:53] <Vesayth> Hello, I have a relatively small but annoying problem. I recently reinstalled Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit, and when I installed jEdit, I noticed that there is annoying extra line space in-between each line. I don't know what's causing it or where there might be an option to fix it (I've looked all through the options). Also, there doesn't appear to be any threads on it from googling about it. Anyone have any idea where this setting might be (if it's a 
[01:54] <danbhfive> ^Cheeky: do you have it installed?  if so, gksuo gparted, or from that admin menu
[01:54] <syockit> nclife: if your dvd is auto mounted, use df to list mounted partitions/media
[01:54] <null__> joe-mac: ok, thanks
[01:54] <jftsang> Hello. I am on command-line Ubuntu. Is it possible to set my compose key in the command line?
[01:54] <muxomor> RockmanFL:  then you can investigate it, or may be some1 would know, what this or that error mean,m because common "it doesnt work" just doesn't provide any useful information
[01:55] <^Cheeky> danbhfive, i don't see it under administration, ill apt-get it
[01:55] <nclife> syockit, like for example I can mount the iso on /media/cdrom0 as well as in /home/sinclair/NewDirectory?
[01:55] <jftsang> All the tutorials that I have found refer to using GNOME
[01:55] <sanvarin> exodus_ms: not quite.  I know that something went awry with my drive and now libstdcc is gone (!)  That's why I can't run X or the package manager or anything like that.  But it seems that I ought to be able to do something like apt-get --upgrade all
[01:55] <ardchoille> jftsang: isn't there a dot file in ~ for that?
[01:55] <ardchoille> jftsang: ~/.compse  or something?
[01:56] <jftsang> Thanks. I'll take a look at that.
[01:56] <syockit> nclife: if it is already mounted, you cannot mount it to somewhere else (unless using mount --bind or symbolic links). Check with df to see if it's mounted or not
[01:56] <exodus_ms> sanvarin, have you tried   sudo dpkg -reconfigure --all   or   sudo apt-get -f install
[01:56] <sanvarin> exodus_ms: or boot from the livecd and just reinstall all that packages without  backing up,reformatting etc....
[01:56] <RockmanFL> muxomor: That site I have not been to but I have followed the steps....it is for version 7 but I assume it relates to 8.10 as well...Question: My windows network is named Rockswork not MSHOME or WORKGROUP that Samba defauts to...I added a network connection and it does say it is connected to Rockswork but did not change aything else as far as Sambaconfig etc...could this be the reason?
[01:56] <cliente> oi
[01:56] <sanvarin> exodus_ms: I'll try that.  That's exactly what I'm trying to figure out, but apparently man also needs libstdc...
[01:56] <nclife> syockit, I haven't mounted the .ISO file.   I checked with df, it says it is on /dev/scd0
[01:57] <nclife> syockit, that last mounted thing is my dvd
[01:57] <RockmanFL> muxomor: BRB in 10 min gotta get the kiddies in bed
[01:57] <dbbolton> the only thing i can get to boot on my laptop is damn small linux in safemode. i just replaced the hard drive. is there any way to figure out what's wrong?
[01:57] <nclife> syockit, so to mount my .ISO file, I should mount it in /dev/scd0?
[01:57] <jdsandeson> Is it possible to install ubuntu to a raid aray?
[01:57] <syockit> nclife: the iso is mounted? maybe some application might have automounted it
[01:57] <monoswim> Hi to everyone...
[01:57] <syockit> nclife: you don't need a dvd drive actually to do iso mounting
[01:58] <syockit> nclife: You use loopback device for mounting iso
[01:58] <jftsang> No, I can't find anything on ~/.compse
[01:58] <monoswim> yo use this chat I have to use LANG=C xchat-gnome from console, because from menu doesn't work
[01:59] <nclife> syockit, so I'll just mount my .ISO like this: sudo mount -o loop <.iso file> /home/<myusername>/NewDirectory. is that okay to do?
[01:59] <^Cheeky> danbhfive, oh nice, i formatted it using fat 32 .. but i have this error : DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.NotFound: The given volume was not found
[01:59] <cbilljones> im having trouble stopping my mic from coming from my speakers, any suggestions? using creative x-fi card
[01:59] <^Cheeky> danbhfive, should i have to restart X  for it mount now ?
[01:59] <danbhfive> ^Cheeky: I think you can ignore dbus errors if they are ignorable
[02:00] <exodus_ms> sanvarin, is this what you are looking for, I'm not sure what you said was missing --> http://packages.debian.org/stable/base/libstdc++5
[02:00] <syockit> nclife: yes. you can unmount later when it's not in use by sudo umount <mount point i.e. the new directory>
[02:00] <office> do you hear about public virtual pc machines ?
[02:01] <Aeosynth> how do I keep the screen unlocked when I come out of hibernation?
[02:01] <syockit> nclife: also, files in iso is usually owned by root, so if you are doing some copying, make sure to check ownership afterwards (refer man chown)
[02:02] <moneybags1234> I installed xfce4 to run in ubuntu. I ran into a bug and uninstalled via sudo apt-get purge then used synaptic but it did not get rid of all the xfce files as when i reinstalled xfce the gdm wasn't the original how can i be sure that I've removed allt the files?
[02:02] <sanvarin> exodus_ms:  I believe that is what I'm looking for.  The problem is that apt-get needs that library to install that library (i think..)  I was hoping there would be some way to fix it from the liveCD or just upgrade all my packages and not touch /home
[02:02] <redvamp128> cbilljones:  you could try either muting it-- or turning down the gain on the mic -- that would be the volume control for the microphone (otherwise known as sesitivity.)
[02:02] <syockit> Aeosynth: I think there's a gconf for that, but I haven't tried
[02:02] <nclife> ok. thank you syockit
[02:02] <muxomor> RockmanFL:  being honest, i don't have any experience with samba :) What i am trying to help: localise an error, from terminal output(if started from a terminal) and then search how to make it work. In what i am concerned: both windows and linux comp must be in the same workgroup, it can be specified in samba.conf. Couple of links: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/configuring-samba.html  http://samba.netfirms.com/sambconf.htm
[02:03] <redvamp128> exodus_ms:  are you sure these packages are not more suited to what you posted above-- they are for ubuntu - Ubuntu -- Package Search Results -- libstdc <http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libstdc&amp;searchon=names&amp;suite=all&amp;section=all>
[02:03] <Aeosynth> syockit: where would you expect the setting to be? login? power management? just give me some keywords to scour gconf with
[02:03] <cbilljones> redvamp128, all i see in alsa settings is capture feedback, if i mute it it mutes it all together, dont see a sensivity setting
[02:03] <casuals> hey guys. i had 1 hdd with windows and later installed ubuntu . now i have 2 hdds and i want to install ubuntu at the second hdd. if i'll format disk where currently ubuntu installed, will i reset my boot record ? i mean will i able to load windows then?
[02:03] <ardchoille> Aeosynth: check /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/hibernate in gconf-editor
[02:03] <danbhfive> sanvarin: why don't you create a separate /home, move over your files, and then just reinstall?
[02:03] <redvamp128> cbilljones:  that would be the volume control for the microhone
[02:04] <syockit> Aeosynth: see gconf entry for /app/gnome-power-manager/lock . But frankly I tried enable locking for suspend but didn't work. you can try removing lock from hibernate and see if it works
[02:04] <exodus_ms> redvamp128, is libstdc++5 not the same for both debian and ubuntu?
[02:05] <redvamp128> exodus_ms:  these are actually built for ubuntu -- the other is a debian and may or may not work
[02:05] <cbilljones> redvamp128, thats all there is in playback though, in recording it is called microphone and just fully mutes it as well
[02:05] <^Cheeky> danbhfive, okay thats weird i mounted it, and umm .. it was detected .. showed the stupid error again .. but the icon is very weird ..
[02:05] <sanvarin> danbhfive: I don't have a spare drive to make /home and copy to, and was to dumb to partition things that way in the first place.  Will the installer let me do that in the repartitioning phase?
[02:05] <exodus_ms> redvamp128, cool,
[02:06] <redvamp128> cbilljones:  you could click on the volume control then the recording tab-- then move the slider down
[02:06] <danbhfive> sanvarin: I start up the livecd, and see if gparted can do it.  I like gparted much better than the currect POS
[02:06] <syockit> sanvarin: probably no, you have to resize the partition, make a new one and copy them manually.
[02:06] <casuals> heeelp meee(
[02:07] <casuals> i had 1 hdd with windows and later installed ubuntu . now i have 2 hdds and i want to install ubuntu at the second hdd. if i'll format disk where currently ubuntu installed, will i reset my boot record ? i mean will i able to load windows then?
[02:07] <cbilljones> redvamp128, it mutes it all together when i do that
[02:07] <redvamp128> exodus_ms:  I linked you to that page so you can also click on the correct version you want to download and the correct distribution
[02:07] <syockit> casuals: hmm that depends on where the bootloader is installed...
[02:07] <redvamp128> cbilljones:  for me the slider moves up and down.
[02:07] <muxomor> RockmanFL: logs are in /var/log/samba/*
[02:08] <exodus_ms> sanvarin, ^^
[02:08] <cbilljones> redvamp128, hmmm im stumped then lol
[02:08] <syockit> casuals: ... which i think is on your second disk if you installed using default. so you'll have no bootloader :(
[02:08] <casuals> how can i check it ? i had only windows..and then i cut some space from windows disk and installed ubuntu there
[02:08] <cbilljones> redvamp128, what sound card are you using?
[02:08] <glandon> ok does any one else have an issue with VLC reading .mkv files? and if so how do you fix it
[02:08] <danbhfive> casuals: I think you should be ok
[02:08] <redvamp128> cbilljones: audigy ls+2
[02:08] <syockit> casuals: oh, now I see the situation
[02:09] <exodus_ms> sanvarin, from redvamp128 --> Ubuntu -- Package Search Results -- libstdc <http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libstdc&amp;searchon=names&amp;suite=all&amp;section=all>
[02:09] <syockit> casuals: disk 2 is new disk right? if you install ubuntu to that disk, it should be ok
[02:10] <redvamp128> cbilljones:  when I click on it this is what I get http://imagebin.ca/view/aXbg3rcx.html
[02:10] <casuals> syockit..well on the second hdd there are few windows disks already too..and there is some unformatted space where i want to install new ubuntu..and to kill one from old hdd
[02:11] <cbilljones> redvamp128, thats what i see too, but mine fully mutes it - from speakers and recording
[02:11] <cbilljones> ;9
[02:11] <glandon> is anyone in her good with VLC or Codecs in general?
[02:11] <syockit> casuals: the important thing is to determine where /boot (the default folder for bootloader) will be put, as the boot record will point to that upon installation
[02:12] <redvamp128> cbilljones:  then I am stumped too (I had to tick mine down) because when I have it all the way up It picks up distortion from the speakers- You may have your mic in the line in instead of the mic
[02:12] <ScottG489> What exactly does debfoster ask you if you want to keep? I thought it just asked for packages that weren't relied on by anything? But its asking me for huge things on my server like apache-common, openssh-server, phpmyadmin, etc... Hell it even asks if i want to remove debfoster
[02:12] <casuals> i'll determine it while new install?
[02:12] <redvamp128> cbilljones:  if that is the case when switch them (or visa versa)
[02:12] <cbilljones> revamp128, kk sec ill try
[02:12] <kristian2> just wondering what programs people use to "open" rar's with, just unrar or other alternatives? and is unrar freeware or shareware?
[02:13] <syockit> casuals: so if you install ubuntu on a new partition, and let it use default folder settings, and then install grub to mbr (this is by default), your new bootloader will be at the new partition. then you can delete the old ubuntu partition without bad consequences
[02:13] <arghh2d2> syockit: wtf?  NO!
[02:14] <syockit> arghh2d2: wrong?
[02:14] <arghh2d2> mbr isnt realy a partition
[02:14] <casuals> soo u recommend install new ubuntu first and then format disk with old ubuntu ?
[02:14] <arghh2d2> it's a tiny little partition at the beginning of the entire harddrive
[02:14] <syockit> arghh2d2: no, mbr is still mbr. will be written during installation
[02:14] <Bridger987> kristian2 >  There is an obsolete open-source version of UnRar, and an up-to-date restricted (closed-source) freeware version.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unrar
[02:15] <danbhfive> casuals: yeah, you should install the new ubuntu first
[02:15] <syockit> casuals: you're going to format the disk? then mbr will be gone to....
[02:15] <syockit> (would it?)
[02:15] <casuals> i want to kill old ubuntu and stick thet space back to windows )
[02:16] <casuals> so i need to format it )
[02:16] <arghh2d2> casuals: sorry bout yer BAD luck
[02:16] <casuals> what do u mean?)
[02:16] <syockit> casuals: then you can just delete the partition and resize windows partition
[02:16] <casuals> without formatting ?
[02:16] <syockit> casuals: without formatting
[02:17] <casuals> hmm but firt install new ubuntu ?
[02:17] <sfire> partition magic would do it
[02:17] <zacken> resezise need defrag?
[02:17] <danbhfive> casuals: yes, first install the new ubuntu
[02:17] <syockit> casuals: yes. 1. install ubuntu -> 2. delete old ubuntu -> 3. resize windows
[02:18] <casuals> emm how to delete old ubuntu this way? just change file system or so ? without formatting
[02:18] <syockit> zacken: my experience says yes, but maybe the newer ntfs-3g thing does this for you
[02:18] <zacken> Sylphid, ah ok
[02:18] <syockit> zacken: I had to use many defrag tools to resize my vista partition back then
[02:18] <cbilljones> redvamp128, mine just has a shared linein/mic, so its the only input that works, still no luck :(
[02:18] <zacken> sry syockit
[02:19] <kristian2> Bridger987 : alright. thanks. :-) i guess ill just stick with unrar then. it's not to bad since it's freeware, the strange thing is that if you go to rarlab.com and look at the download page, it says that unrar is trial only for linux as well. but i guess the unrar i downloaded with apt-get is not trial, just closed source?
[02:20] <syockit> kristian2: i think the closed-source one is rar, and open-source unrar. and yes, I never saw the program saying its trial or anything, so maybe it's as you've guessed
[02:20] <redvamp128> cbilljones:  the thought behind the last one is that sometimes the line in will accept mic input but output through speakers -- but the mic will only take input-- That was my though
[02:20] <^paradox^> what command can i use at a terminal to get full system specs for my computer?
[02:20] <casuals> eee dont forget me)
[02:21] <casuals> emm how to delete old ubuntu this way? just change file system or so ? without formatting
[02:21] <muxomor> syockit: and unrar-free?
[02:21] <cbilljones> redvamp69, could be that since this card uses a shared input perhaps im screwed lol
[02:21] <syockit> muxomor, kristian2: hmm I was wrong
[02:21] <danbhfive> ^paradox^: lshw is one command, but I think you might be looking for something else
[02:22] <arod> why is ubuntu showing 2g ram when I have 3gb installed?
[02:22] <^paradox^> i was looking to get all the specs for my hardware
[02:22] <Bridger987> kristian2:  The one that you downloaded with apt-get should be the freeware/closed-source version.  There's also a mirror buried on the rarlab.com website (http://www.rarlab.com/rar_add.htm) that is rather hard to find.  The free trial being offered on the site was for the commercial product "RAR".  The free product is "UnRAR".
[02:22] <danbhfive> arod: does it work in windows?
[02:22] <redvamp128> ^paradox^:  you could try lspci or dmesg
[02:22] <kristian2> syockit : yeah! seems like the download on rarlab.com for linux is only rar, not unrar. so i guess rar is trial, while unrar is free, as you said. :-)
[02:22] <syockit> muxomor: thx for pointing out. unrar-free is the open version
[02:23] <muxomor> syockit: aha, and it can be integrated in archiver-programms (for example ark)
[02:23] <syockit> kristian2: apparently I was wrong. unrar-free is the open source version. I don't know what purpose unrar has, as rar also can extract archives
[02:24] <arod> danbhfive: if works on debian with amd64 kernel. any 86 kernel kernel shows 2gb only
[02:24] <muxomor> but Can't handle some archives in the RAR 3.0 format, only the non-free "unrar" package can do that.
[02:24] <arod> no windows sorry
[02:24] <^paradox^> ok thanks both of u
[02:24] <^paradox^> ill give those a try
[02:24] <racecar56> test
[02:24] <nclife> hello. I'm installing aoeIII on my comp, but I get this error which is supposedly due to not enough space on my temp directory. How can I move it to a drive with more space?
[02:24] <racecar56> test
[02:25] <Bridger987> nclife >  Under wine?
[02:25] <nclife> Bridger987, yes
[02:25] <racecar56> if anyone sees this please /msg me
[02:25] <kristian2> Bridger987 : a-ha! your right. so unrar is the same as rar except free, and i guess it can only unrar and not create rar's. correct me if im wrong. thanks for your help. :-)
[02:25] <Bridger987> nclife >  I was getting a similar problem in trying to install something else, I can't remember what lol
[02:26] <Bridger987> kristian2:  That was my impression.  :-)
[02:26] <nclife> Bridger987, heh. How did you solve that? my error specifically is this "Error:- 1603 Fatal error during installation"
[02:27] <Bridger987> nclife >  I didn't.  I was just being redundant (or maybe helpful in showing that there is really a problem) in saying that I had the same thing happen.
[02:27] <Bridger987> ^_^
[02:27] <nclife> heh, oks :)
[02:27] <redvamp128> nclife:  you could ask in #winehq
[02:27] <nclife> oh, hey again red
[02:27] <nclife> yes, I'll do that
[02:28] <kristian2> syockit : yes. apparently you have rar, for creating and extracting rar's, but it is trial and closed source. then you have unrar which is free, but still closed source, which can only extract rar's, not create them. so i prefer this one since it is not trial and i dont often create rar's. and then there is the opensource version free-unrar, but it is outdated, since rarlab made a new version of rar, v3. this is what i've understood so far
[02:28]  * muxomor checking new word redundant
[02:29] <kristian2> Bridger987 : yeah. :-) thanks! ill just stick with unrar then. :-)
[02:29] <syockit> kristian2: !!! I didn't see that (checks aptitude show rar) aaaa, it's 40 days shareware!!!
[02:30] <kristian2> syockit : yeah. :-/ oh well, im ok with just being able to unrar, dont need to make rars. :-P
[02:30] <Stilgar_> anyone know a good place i can ask about cars?
[02:30] <arod> free -m shows 2gb but I have 3gb of ram installed. any hint?
[02:30] <arod> bios show 3gb
[02:30] <Bridger987> kristian2 >  That was my decision when I looked into all of this.  If you get into the habit of needing to create .rar archives, then you may do well to support them and pay the fee (or, if you're a cheapskate, I believe there's a large collection of pirated linux software over at The Pirate Bay... but you didn't hear that from me)
[02:30] <Sylphid> arod, sudo lshw -C memory
[02:31] <kristian2> Bridger987 : this conversation never took place!
[02:31] <bonhoffer> whenever i do sudo pm-suspend i lose all right on my file-system -- i.e. i can't write to _any_ directory
[02:31] <bonhoffer> even if i sudo su
[02:32] <Bridger987> kristian2:  I'm taking my harddrive and a sledgehammer out to the back yard right now.
[02:32] <kristian2> Bridger987 : anyways. :-P yeah, im ok with unrar for now. :-) thanks for your time/help. :-)
[02:32] <bonhoffer> i can't connect to the network since a temp file has to be written
[02:32] <Bridger987> kristian2:  No problem.  :-)
[02:32] <TheDude_> hello everyone
[02:32] <TheDude_> is anyone avial to give me some help?
[02:32] <kristian2> Bridger987 : you should do that, you never know who might be watching. :o
[02:32] <bonhoffer> any way to figure out what is going on here -- "read only filesystem" or something like that?
[02:32] <rdw200169> !ask | TheDude_
[02:33] <Daft_Punk> !ask | TheDude_
[02:33] <orbisvicis> how do you think itll take me to compile libc ?
[02:33] <Daft_Punk> aww u beat me haha
[02:33] <orbisvicis> *long
[02:33] <rdw200169> Daft_Punk, hey, i'm listening to Daft Punk right now, woot
[02:33] <Daft_Punk> me too
[02:33] <arod> Sylphid: lshw shows 3Gb. so is that ok? even if free shows 2gb only?
[02:34] <TheDude_> thank you ubottu, my question is this... im currently running ubuntu on the disk and do not have it installd i am trying to install this to a "maxtor one touch 4" usb drive and i am not sure if i have the correct one in my list
[02:34] <bonhoffer> seems to be a pretty serious bug
[02:34] <TheDude_> i see one device and i dont want to format my windows internal lap top drive
[02:34] <bonhoffer> anyone ever lost ability to write to your file-system from all users
[02:34] <rdw200169> TheDude_, if you install ubuntu to an external hard drive, it will be *really* slow
[02:35] <TheDude_> i only want to install th is to my external HD and i want the mbr on the external to have the grub thing so that when i unplug the external i wont be prompted to choose an OS
[02:35] <arooni-mobile> LilArooni ~/Documents: scp david@foo.dyndns.org:~/Documents/My\ Values.vym .  .... how do i escape the space when doing a scp command?
[02:35] <Sylphid> arod, lshw shows that ubuntu is recognizing that your computer has 3G but if free is only showing 2 that means that 1G is not being utilized
[02:35] <arooni-mobile> in quotes!
[02:35] <bonhoffer> i am talking every directory, every mount, every user -- read only
[02:35] <arooni-mobile> success!
[02:35] <bonhoffer> all caused by sudo pm-suspend
[02:35] <Sylphid> arod, grep MemFree /proc/meminfo
[02:36] <rdw200169> TheDude_, do you know if your BIOS supports boot from USB?
[02:36] <orbisvicis> bonhoffer: fstab mounted read only? no more free space ?
[02:36] <TheDude_> yes it does
[02:36] <Sylphid> arod, oop sorry .... grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
[02:36] <TheDude_> its a new laptop
[02:36] <TheDude_> assu g1sn to be exact if you need secs
[02:36] <TheDude_> asus*
[02:36] <arod> afaik with a 32bit kernel any app sees only 2gb of memory
[02:36] <bonhoffer> orbisvicis, fstab mounts fine -- it is only after suspend that there is a problem -- i have lots of free space
[02:36] <arod> Sylphid: anyway: MemTotal:      2051328 kB
[02:37] <bonhoffer> in any case, there should be an error -- not a total denial of any mods to the filesystem
[02:37] <TheDude_> infact i tried to install fedora but the screen got all whacky when i loaded from the disk so i came back to ubuntu
[02:37] <orbisvicis> bonhoffer: oh I dont use suspend, no idea
[02:37] <Sylphid> arod, you may want to run a memtest against your ram.... 32 bit kernels support up to 4G of memory (sort of)
[02:37] <TheDude_> all distorted and grainey and i couldnt select any options much less read them
[02:37] <bonhoffer> orbisvicis, thanks anyway -- anyone here who does know?
[02:37] <att0> running Ubuntu 8.10 on a Dell Optiplex GX260 (intel 845g chipset) and the screen started to flicker pretty badly...any ideas?
[02:38] <bonhoffer> this is a serious problem -- is there an ubuntu dev room where someone can look into this
[02:38] <bonhoffer> or a bug submission site?
[02:38] <bonhoffer> (if that is the way to go)
[02:38] <Vesayth> Hello, I have a relatively small but annoying problem. I recently reinstalled Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit, and when I installed jEdit, I noticed that there is annoying extra line space in-between each line. I don't know what's causing it or where there might be an option to fix it (I've looked all through the options). Also, there doesn't appear to be any threads on it from googling about it. Anyone have any idea where this setting might be (if it's a 
[02:39] <maxhouston> yo does anybody know how to make an app open into a specific workspace?
[02:39] <kristian2> i just did: sudo apt-get install vlc, will only vlc be installed, or will more videolan things be installed as well? just wondering, think its only vlc though, but want to be sure.
[02:39] <jdsbluedevl> hi, can anyone help me with getting the proper programs to sync my new Blackberry Curve?
[02:39] <Daft_Punk> kristian2, its just vlc
[02:40] <jdsbluedevl> I'm trying to configure Barry, but it says to use Evolution, and for some reason IMAP isn't working with Evolution.  Works fine with Thunderbird
[02:40] <RockmanFL> muxomor: FIXED!!! WOW..I knew it was simple...I called a friend who is not a big Linux guy but he works for our company (software firm) I have 2 routers for the company at my home...Main Linksys plugged into a VOIP router....the Linux box was plugged into the Voip router...swapped the plug and BAM! Computers can all see each other....sometimes the answer is so simple it can be overlooked....Thanks for the time..If HLM is in here Thank you as
[02:40] <Bridger987> kristian >  I believe it's just VLC, although if it's the first time you're installing "Community Maintained Software", there might be a process of installing a few other things as well.
[02:40] <ScottG489> Has anyone tried the new ubuntu?
[02:40] <RockmanFL> hlm: see above and thanks
[02:40] <kristian2> Daft_Punk : alright thanks :-)
[02:41] <hlm> RockmanFL, what did I do to deserve thanks?
[02:41] <RockmanFL> you tried to help me the other day
[02:41] <hlm> RockmanFL, your welcome I suppose
[02:41] <att0> what is a safe graphics card I can buy that will let me watch HD videos on Ubuntu?
[02:42] <Daft_Punk> att0, anything geforce 6 series and higher, more than 256mb recommended
[02:42] <RockmanFL> hlm: just wanted to get back to you on the solution as well
[02:42] <hlm> RockmanFL, okay
[02:42] <jdsbluedevl> does anyone here have experience with setting up Blackberry syncing on Ubuntu?
[02:43] <jdsbluedevl> hello?
[02:43] <att0> Daft_Punk, how would I install the graphics drivers?
[02:44] <what_if> jdsbluedevl: define "syncing" for your case
[02:44] <nclife> hello. I'm installing aoeIII on my comp, but I get this error which is supposedly due to not enough space on my temp directory. How can I move it to a drive with more space? And also is that a wine or linux issue, in other words is it wine that has to be moved or /tmp of linux?
[02:44] <Daft_Punk> att0, it should recognize the new hardware and say that the driver is part of restricted software and you can choose to enable it or not
[02:44] <Daft_Punk> att0, and there is ways to manually install the drivers as well
[02:44] <att0> Daft_Punk, excellent thanks
[02:44] <Pelo> evening folks
[02:45] <att0> Daft_Punk, I'm just a newb though, I
[02:45] <Pelo> what's the command line to launch an install-sh file again ?  ./sh install-sh ???
[02:45] <jdsbluedevl> what_if: well, I'm trying to read the procedure for using Barry (which I don't even know if it's user-friendly or not).  It's asking to use Evolution, but Evolution seems to be having problems with IMAP right now
[02:45] <ericstewart> I'm running UbuntuServer 8.10 inside VirtualBox. When I duplicate the virtual machine and boot the OS, eth0 is changed to eth1.
[02:45] <jdsbluedevl> as opposed to Thunderbird, which is fine
[02:45] <orbisvicis> att0: i might be wrong, but hd on linux is more a matter of cpu than gpu b/c the video drivers dont support gpu decoding of x264 streams (though X has a pipe for mpeg2 now, i think)... and ffmpeg x264 decoders are single threaded anyway, so
[02:45] <ericstewart> How do I get it to go back to eth0?
[02:46] <n8tuserf> ericstewart -> look into /etc/udev/rules.d/*persistent*  rule
[02:46] <what_if> jdsbluedevl: hmmm... never used evolution
[02:46] <jdsbluedevl> what_if: you use Thunderbird with Blackberry syncing?
[02:46] <PowerE_>  Timing cached reads:   1230 MB in  2.00 seconds = 614.40 MB/sec
[02:46] <PowerE_>  Timing buffered disk reads:  266 MB in  3.01 seconds =  88.39 MB/sec
[02:47] <PowerE_> seem slow?
[02:47] <PowerE_> I'm used to 100+ in windows
[02:47] <what_if> jdsbluedevl: I have attempted to use kdepim... emphasis on attempted
[02:47] <orbisvicis> nice, check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDPAU never heard about that till now
[02:47] <jdsbluedevl> oy, ok
[02:47] <ericstewart> n8tuserf: Okay. I see 70-persisent-net.rules.

[03:01] <steve``> so i don't 0 the first part by accident if it's not 0 already
[03:01] <steve``> eg:  g+w to make it group +w

[03:14] <steve``> cyzie, try a different repo... some are slower some are faster
[03:14] <chu_> I usually get 1mb/s from Ubuntu repos....
[03:14] <ETie> If you do not go back to the partitioning menu and assign a swap partition, the installation will continue without swap space.
[03:14] <ETie> the thing never asked me for swap space
[03:15] <Guest98978> psst ubottu! we don't need anymore retard^H^H^H^H^H^H i mean new users...
[03:15] <cyzie> steve``, did that with all the servers, uk, us, ru, my and so on, just slow.
[03:15] <ETie> well, i got 2 gb or ram here, will that be enough to run things without a SWAP?
[03:15] <steve``> i don't seem to have swap on my xubuntu install
[03:15] <chu_> ETie, I didn't realise I wouldn't have a swap.
[03:15] <n2diy> I'm cloning this box to some newer hardware, so far I've moved my /home directory, but that didn't bring my apps, with it, what else should I copy to the target box?
[03:16] <stip> chu_: i tried searching for "gnome" and it would only list the package i've installed; maybe this clue will help?
[03:16] <chu_> I tend to idle around 30% ram on gnome, I've been told xfce will at least get 10% better, so probably 20% I don't think it's such a big deal with 2gbs
[03:16] <steve``> cyzie, try the main repos
[03:16] <Guest98978> *cough*retrad*cough*
[03:16] <cyzie> steve``, archive.ubuntu.com ?
[03:16] <Sylphid> ETie, swap is always a good thing to have even if your computer doesnt use it
[03:16] <redvamp128> stip:  gnome is listed as ubuntu-desktop (will not be listed as gnome because that is ubuntu's default)
[03:17] <joot> ETie, chu. I think ubuntu adds swap by default in install
[03:17] <chu_> Possibly, because I only added a /home and a / :p
[03:17] <ETie> joot, i doubt that if it actually told me i would be installling without aswap
[03:17] <stip> redvamp128: hmm...?
[03:18] <Guest98978> Q: i am compiling my own kernel (don't ask! (former gentoo user )) and my nvidia driver causes errors! can anyone help?
[03:18] <joot> ETie, OK I has never done that to me..
[03:18] <ZachFlem> Sylphid: i dont seem to see any info about Intrepid, any further suggestions?
[03:18] <Sylphid> ZachFlem, the instructions for hardy should work for intrepid
[03:18] <chu_> joot, is there a simple cli command to list partitions?
[03:19] <ZachFlem> Sylphid: thanks again =)
[03:19] <n8tuserf> chu_ -> sudo fdisk -l
[03:19] <steve``> cyzie, not quite sure, could be archive.canonical.com/ubuntu
[03:19] <stip> i just searched for "game" but it too couldn't be found
[03:19] <Riverra1> Q: has anyone had a problem with the the kernal v 24? I update and when it starts to boot up it pukes...version 19 works fine though.
[03:19] <cyzie> steve``, yes, that oen is slow as well.
[03:19] <steve``> maybe it's your connection?
[03:19] <joot> Yes but I dont remember exact one moment
[03:19] <Guest98978> better way: echo $(ls /dev/ | grep [ many newbies in here!
[03:19] <Guest98978> 19:09 -!- acidicbase [n=acidicba@c-67-161-190-115.hsd1.ca.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu
[03:20] <chu_> Awesome, yeah it did add a swap.
[03:20] <Guest98978> better way: echo $(ls /dev/ | grep [hs]da[0-9])
[03:20] <Sylphid> Guest98978, what are the errors
[03:21] <joot> ETie, fdisk
[03:21] <steve``> Riverra1, i'm on 2.6.27-11-generic, and it's working fine
[03:21] <ETie> GPARTED
[03:22] <ETie> joot

[03:23] <Guest6332> sorry
[03:23] <illumin8> Hello, is there a terminal command to list my partitions uuid?
[03:23] <joot> ETie, I thought gparted was a gui
[03:24] <steve``> isn't it?
[03:24] <craige> It is
[03:24] <n8tuserf> illumin8 -> sudo blkid
[03:24] <craige> I thought
[03:24] <illumin8> n8tuserf, thanks
[03:24] <steve``> i thought so too
[03:24] <chu_> Hey DBO
[03:24] <craige> I used a copy a couple months ago, and it was GUI
[03:24] <craige> hence the 'G' in it
[03:24] <ETie> joot gui for what?
[03:24] <steve``> yeah
[03:25] <ETie> for fdisk ? i guess it is
[03:25] <n2diy> I'm cloning this box to some newer hardware, so far I've moved my /home directory, but that didn't bring my apps, with it, what else should I copy to the target box?
[03:25] <ETie> n2diy,  /
[03:25] <curtis> Wat it do
[03:25] <craige> So, can somebody help me debug my wireless setup?
[03:25] <chu_> root drive
[03:25] <chu_> everything
[03:25] <steve``> n2diy, just install the apps on the new box
[03:25] <n2diy> ETie: funny
[03:26] <Sylphid> !clone | n2diy
[03:26] <ETie> ReiserFS, Because He killed his wife.
[03:26] <chu_> lol
[03:26] <Thellra> When you install ubuntu server, does it have no GUI buit into it?
[03:26] <chu_> Nope
[03:26] <craige> Thellra, why?
[03:26] <steve``> ubuntu desktop has the gui
[03:26] <chu_> You can of course apt-get ubuntu-desktop though
[03:26] <steve``> or xubuntu
[03:27] <steve``> or kubuntu
[03:27] <ETie> who oversees these packages?
[03:27] <joot> ETie, partion editor
[03:27] <B14CKH4T> hey guys i needt install mi NEXXT PCI WIRELESS  IN MI UNBUTU 7.4
[03:27] <n2diy> steve, that is a lot of apps, thanks anyway.
[03:27] <B14CKH4T> HOW I CANT D. TAHT
[03:27] <tom760_> I have my local Ubuntu setup with a single monitor / X server.  Is it possible to attach a client X app to a new (remote) X server without restarting the program?
[03:27] <chu_> Not use caps, perhaps?
[03:27] <n2diy> !automate
[03:27] <Thellra> So, to get anything other then a black screen I need to install desktop ubuntu?
[03:27] <ETie> who oversees these packages and why do we trust him?
[03:27] <craige> Yes
[03:27] <Thellra> whoooops
[03:27] <craige> Thellra, are you doing this becaues you cannot use Linux from the command line?
[03:27] <chu_> Not quite Thellra, you can put a GUI on your server install...
[03:27] <Sylphid> !motu ETie
[03:28] <ETie> Thellra,  you can run any server even on desktop ubuntu. why the hell would you even want server?
[03:28] <Sylphid> !motu | ETie
[03:28] <ETie> LOL
[03:28] <ETie> nice
[03:28] <Thellra> I'm trying to install an eqemu server and wanted to see if I could do it in ubuntu
[03:28] <Thellra> and server seemed like the right thing to do :(
[03:28] <mimiloon> hi everybody, i need some help creating an image of ubuntu using norton ghost
[03:29] <chu_> !clone | mimiloon
[03:29] <chu_> Not quite, clonezilla?
[03:29] <chu_> idk
[03:29] <Thellra> So I need to download the non-ubuntu?
[03:30] <Windsilk> Could someone help me out when they get a chance?  I just had some error and now I can't do anything in Kubuntu, I loaded it up off the boot cd I made so I could get on here
[03:30] <steve``> Thellra, just do: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop (or kubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop)
[03:31] <Thellra> I'm not even getting command line, its got green lines going down half the screen, and text that I can't read at the very top
[03:31] <mimiloon> ubottu: i have no idea what you just said, lol, because i'm new to linux
[03:31] <steve``> depending if you want gnome, kde, or xfce
[03:31] <steve``> oh
[03:31] <steve``> that sounds bad
[03:31] <Sylphid> Windsilk, please post the error message you are seeing so people know if they can help you or not
[03:31] <steve``> Thellra, can you ssh in?
[03:31] <anarrayfulofperl> i need a bit of help getting kernel 2.6.28 on intrepid
[03:32] <KurtKraut> Can Ubuntu be natively installed on a Asus Eee or it requires some workaround ?
[03:32] <chu_> mimiloon, basically are you looking for a way to "back-up" of Ubuntu?
[03:32] <mimiloon> yes
[03:32] <Sylphid> !EEE | KurtKraut
[03:32] <chu_> Have a look at clonezilla. Though I have not used it myself.
[03:33] <redvamp128> KurtKraut:  you may try Get Easy Peasy <http://www.geteasypeasy.com/>  (used to be eeepc)
[03:33] <Riverra1> Q: has anyone had trouble with the kernal v 24? with it not booting?
[03:33] <Windsilk> I'm not seeing the error message anymore, I clicked ok when it happened and then everything broke.  Right now it's working because I am using the trial Kubuntu thing off the cd
[03:33] <ETie> v 24 ?
[03:33] <redvamp128> Sylphid:  They changed the name it is not eee anymore-- it is now Easy Peasy
[03:33] <ETie> are they not at 2.6?
[03:33] <mimiloon> chu_: i can't use norton ghost; (that sucks)
[03:34] <chu_> Well, mimiloon, you *might* be able through WINE... I'm not sure.
[03:34] <jrib> mimiloon: why not use partimage?
[03:34] <njdube> When did ubuntu stop shipping 64 bit disc?
[03:34] <Riverra1> Etie, yes its 2.6 -24
[03:35] <ETie> oh, hehehehehe
[03:35] <Riverra1> Etie, sorry about the confusion
[03:35] <KurtKraut> thanks Sylphid and redspike
[03:35] <steve``> Riverra1, why are you trying for 2.6.24?
[03:35] <chu_> Last year some time njdube - I think? I remember reading something about it.
[03:35] <KurtKraut> redvamp128: thanks
[03:35] <njdube> chu_, Any idea why?
[03:35] <mimiloon> jrib: i've tried partimage in knoppix but was having problems with it because i'm a complete noob
[03:35] <Sylphid> mimiloon, partition image  http://www.partimage.org/
[03:35] <kolby> I'm having problems with "apt-build world"
[03:36] <chu_> Probably because they were producing CDs that no one wanted, or a very small subset of people wanted.
[03:36] <Windsilk> I think it's that I must have installed the wrong driver for my video card or something, I installed and tried to run Nvidia x session or something and that's when I got the first error
[03:36] <ETie> Riverra1,  nothing to be sorry about. its my fault, really! :)
[03:36] <Thellra> Thanks for your help, I can't even see the command line, so I'm going to DL the Desktop Version
[03:37] <njdube> chu_, That blows!
[03:37] <Riverra1> Etie, so heard anything about it?
[03:37] <chu_> You should still be able to get a 64bit ISO?
[03:37] <chu_> Unless, uber slow net?
[03:37] <joot> kolby, What does apt-build do??
[03:37] <^Cheeky> hellow is there a way to have tansmissions running on the top right (i think its called the task bar(in the back ground )) in ubuntu 8.10
[03:37] <craige> What might I have to do to make wlan0 link "ready"
[03:37] <njdube> chu_, Yeah, but it's nice having the real printed copies.  I'm running 64 bit now from a burned copy from the ISO.
[03:37] <mimiloon> Sylphid: i've tried using partimage and followed instructions on the internet but i'm not able to save the image anywhere; i have two external HDs
[03:37] <steve``> apt-build - Fetch sources and build packages optimized for your architecture.
[03:38] <JohnWittle> so I just installed ubuntu 8.10 from a cd I had lying around, and I am interested in reducing it to the terminal, with no desktop interface. Is there any list of packages that I need to remove, or do I have to figure it out on my own?
[03:38] <chu_> Yeh, I feel the same njdube.. At least if you have a problem, boot up LiveCD
[03:38] <joot> steve``, thanks
[03:38] <chu_> JohnWittle... You could just download Ubuntu Server install, no GUI by default.
[03:38] <JohnWittle> I could but
[03:39] <kolby> joot: it builds things... but then it hangs up after 15 minutes and informs me of dependencies that are no longer necessary.
[03:39] <JohnWittle> I don't have any blank CDs
[03:39] <JohnWittle> or usb sticks
[03:39] <Pici> !minimal
[03:39] <JohnWittle> or other computers
[03:39] <FloodBot2> JohnWittle: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:39] <joot> kolby, ty
[03:39] <mimiloon> Sylphid: it gives me an error when i try to save it at a location
[03:39] <Sylphid> mimiloon, whats the error?
[03:40] <chu_> JohnWittle, I guess sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-desktop might work? I wouldn't try it though.
[03:40] <cyzie> why is repos from ubuntu so f**king slow?!!!??
[03:40] <njdube> chu_, They should make a DVD iso with both 32 and 64 bit.  That way no matter what computer I stick it in it automatically detects the architecture and installs the appropriate packages.
[03:40] <JohnWittle> yeah I wouldn't either
[03:40] <steve``> lol kolby
[03:40] <ETie> JohnWittle, man that sucks! i remember being in your position.  bhahahaah
[03:40] <JohnWittle> I'm trying to turn this into a file server
[03:40] <JohnWittle> and I really wouldn't like to have GNOME running ontop of it
[03:40] <tritium> cyzie: watch the language, please.
[03:40] <steve``> cyzie, maybe it's your connection that's slow
[03:40] <kolby> steve``: huh?  what was funny?
[03:40] <cyzie> tritium, No! i have spend 24hours just to upgrade but FAIL.
[03:40] <joot> cyzie, you were given an answer before
[03:40] <tritium> cyzie: no, really
[03:41] <cyzie> steve``, no,  i have debian box , update bleeding fast.
[03:41] <tritium> cyzie: so pick different mirrors
[03:41] <steve``> when i updated my fresh xubuntu install, it maxed out my cable with the downloads...
[03:41] <chu_> Yikes.
[03:41] <hmw> cyzie: whats the approx. download speed?
[03:41] <JohnWittle> ETie, what did you do?
[03:41] <cyzie> tritium, i did, hundred tiems i tried. same slow,  205B/s
[03:42] <chu_> I hope I haven't dled >12gbs Ubuntu updates.
[03:42] <cyzie> hmw, ^^
[03:42] <tritium> cyzie: have it pick the best server for you
[03:42] <Thellra> Is it a bug if its going to the green vertical lines after it says "loading hardware drivers"
[03:42] <Thellra> or is that my fault?
[03:42] <ETie> JohnWittle, i used windows :p
[03:42] <hmw> cyzie: you could try a traceroute to the server(s)... there might be some bottle neck
[03:42] <mimiloon> Sylphid: i can't remember but heres what i typed when selecting the location: "/mnt/sdb3/Ubuntu"
[03:42] <kolby> doesn't "apt-build world" download the source code for all packages and recompile them?
[03:42] <JohnWittle> Wow. I sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-desktop'd and the ONLY package it removed was ubuntu-desktop
[03:42] <hmw> cyzie: was it you, who complained about slow speed several hours ago, too?
[03:43] <chu_> Phew.
[03:43] <chu_> lol
[03:43] <cyzie> tritium, how ot pick the best server?
[03:43] <tritium> JohnWittle: correct.  It's a meta-package.
[03:43] <cyzie> hmw, Yes!
[03:43] <cyzie> hmw, cause i tired of trying many servers, just slow!
[03:43] <njdube> Does ubuntu ever plan on making their disc so I can easily install an encrypted / and swap?  When ever I get a laptop I don't want to have to call on the powers of Grey Skull just to encrypt everything but /boot
[03:43] <hmw> anyome know the address of the d/l servers?
[03:43] <tritium> cyzie: System -> Adminisration -> Software Sources, then in the pulldown menu for "Download from" select 'Other'
[03:43] <Sylphid> mimiloon, was a partition mounted to that location and if so was it the partition you were trying to image?
[03:44] <tritium> cyzie: it'll open a dialog box, and you can hit the button that says "Select Best Server"
[03:44] <cyzie> tritium, anyway to do it in cli ?
[03:44] <napoleon> Hello
[03:44] <mimiloon> Sylphid: i had unmounted the partition which i was trying to backup and mounted the partition to which i was trying to save
[03:44] <tritium> cyzie: there may be
[03:44] <kolby> the man page for apt-build says it recompiles "the system" when you enter "apt-build world"
[03:44] <chu_> hey napoleon.
[03:44] <napoleon> how to use ekiga, please ?
[03:44] <mimiloon> save to
[03:44] <JohnWittle> Odd. I searched for GNOME in synaptic and marked all packages for removal, and it did, and my system is still running.
[03:44] <cyzie> tritium, what's the command?
[03:45] <tritium> cyzie: you'd have to search for it.  I'm not sure.
[03:45] <chu_> JohnWittle, can'r kill what's running? Try ctrl+alt+backspace?
[03:45] <JohnWittle> Will it boot into a terminal?
[03:45] <napoleon> how to use ekiga, please ?
[03:45] <chu_> It *should*
[03:45] <JohnWittle> excellent
[03:46] <JohnWittle> So all that stuff I just removed is just running from ram now?
[03:46] <tritium> JohnWittle: ubuntu-desktop is simply a metapackage.  Removing it does not remove gnome.
[03:46] <chu_> Yeah, I believe so..
[03:46] <tritium> napoleon: please don't repeat
[03:46] <ciggar> helou ppl
[03:46] <napoleon> yes
[03:46] <JohnWittle> tritium, I marked all packages with gnome in the description or title for complete removal in synaptic
[03:47] <chu_> napoleon - http://linux.die.net/man/1/ekiga
[03:47] <ciggar> any body help me pls
[03:47] <tritium> JohnWittle: well, that's different from removing ubuntu-desktop
[03:47] <JohnWittle> I know
[03:47] <cyzie> tritium, OK, synaptic has that tooo.
[03:47] <Sylphid> mimiloon, without an error it seems like it should have worked
[03:48] <chu_> hey ciggar - any questions?
[03:48] <ciggar> any help me pls to instal in ubuntu 8.10 usb modem novatel mc 990d
[03:48] <ciggar> ?
[03:48] <cyzie> tritium, ok, am tyring taiwan servers
[03:49] <cyzie> bleeding fast nwo
[03:49] <tritium> cyzie: good
[03:49] <cyzie> such a nightmares! archive.ubuntu.com should be fast!
[03:49] <cyzie> i might consider switching back to debian
[03:50] <napoleon> Thanks
[03:50] <JohnWittle> chu_, it didn't actually remove the packages i asked it to
[03:50] <JohnWittle> and it produced no errors
[03:50] <JohnWittle> this is why I wanted to avoid guis :(
[03:50] <hmw> hmm... can anyone explain this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/121302/
[03:50] <hmw> is it round robin?
[03:52] <_VIM_> !details | hwm
[03:52] <hmw> i tracerouted archive.ubuntu.com
[03:52] <hmw> what more? i just dont know that message "has multiple addresses" - is this due to round robin?
[03:52] <Bridger987> *Problem:*  Does anyone know why I may be having trouble playing music downloaded with frostwire?  It seems that whatever format I download, ubuntu can't play it.
[03:54] <_VIM_> !codecs | Bridger987
[03:54] <chu_> Is there an Ubuntu-Spanish channel?
[03:54] <_VIM_> !es
[03:54] <chu_> cheers
[03:55] <Bridger987> _VIM_ / ubottu:  Thanks for the resources, although I already have all restricted codecs in place and working.  Maybe the files that I have are dummy files that are sending my info back to the RIAA.  :D
[03:55] <Suidog> Is this then end-user support forums or only dev's?
[03:55] <_VIM_> lol
[03:55] <_VIM_> i wouldn't put it past the RIAA to do such a thing
[03:55] <Scunizi_> Suidog: end user support.. every one here is a volunteer
[03:55] <Suidog> Great
[03:55] <_VIM_> !welcome | Suidog
[03:56] <_VIM_> Bridger987: what player(S) have you tried, and what version of Ubuntu are you on?
[03:57] <Suidog> I have a question about my wireless bridge I setup.  it's all working correctly but I'm wondering if I can plug a hub into the ethernet inface and have it work.
[03:57] <Bridger987> _VIM_ :  Ubuntu 8.10, and I have tried playing the files on both the generic ubuntu Movie Player and VLC.  I've found a few files that have worked, but not many.  So maybe it's just FrostWire.  Or the RIAA.  Or both.  ^_^
[03:57] <joot> Bridger987, ubottu is a robot... There is a very helpful couple of pages in ubuntu forums listed under multimedia with cut and paste instuctions for all vers...
[03:58] <hmw> made 3 traceroutes, just the last hop shows loosing 80ms - might there be something wrong? http://paste.ubuntu.com/121309/
[03:58] <Bridger987> joot:  yes, I know.  ^^  I included ubottu in my post (I had said " _VIM_ / ubottu" because VIM was giving me instructions through ubottu.
[03:58] <lepine> Do we know when subversion and related libs for 1.5 will be available in stable?
[03:58] <joot> Bridger987,  10. 4
[03:58] <Suidog> so.. br0 contains ath0 and eth1 and I'm able to use my wireless card as an AP.  Works great.  I also want to hook up a wired network and have it serve up dhcp to my wired network on the same subnet as my wireless network.. is this possible?
[03:59] <_VIM_> !players | Bridger987 (many more players to try)
[03:59] <yowshi> frag my mouse is gone again. only now i think i have an addition symptom. as soon as i touch anyhing to do with mouse buttons my physical mouse stops working

[04:00] <Suidog> anyone?
[04:01] <hmw> Suidog it should be
[04:01] <Sylphid> Suidog, yes its possible
[04:01] <Suidog> cool.. I have a autosenseing nic but do I still need a hub?
[04:01] <konam> hi
[04:01] <Suidog> it doesn't seem to work when I just plug in a device.
[04:02] <Sylphid> Suidog, what do you mean auto sensing
[04:02] <konam> can someone tell me a good C IDE for ubuntu, and please don't point me to gedit, vi or emac
[04:02] <Sylphid> Suidog, you mean auto negotiating?
[04:02] <ZachFlem> hi folks, i have my bcm43x card working now, i can connect to my wifi network, but once connected, i cant connect to any websites etc.
[04:02] <Suidog> well it's autosense if it's a cross-over connection
[04:02] <hmw> konam - lol - i have heard, eclipse would be great
[04:02] <Suidog> so I don't need a cross-over cable
[04:03] <Sylphid> Suidog, if your going from one host to another host directly you will need a crossover
[04:03] <Suidog> at least I think it is..
[04:03] <_VIM_> well that leaves out VIM, konam... You might tell by my nick that I was about to suggest it. :)
[04:03] <Suidog> I get a green connectivity light..
[04:03] <hmw> Suidog - pastebin output of ifconfig and route, pls
[04:04] <Suidog> I just want to make sure that it should work before I by hub
[04:04] <Suidog> ok..
[04:04] <Sylphid> Suidog, are you running dhcp on the wireless interface or the bridge interface?
[04:04] <JohnWittle> sudo apt-cache search lib returns no results. my sources.list file is intact. what?
[04:05] <_VIM_> !IDE | konam
[04:06] <tritium> JohnWittle: it should return hundreds of results unless you've never updated your package list (sudo apt-get update)
[04:06] <JohnWittle> tritium, I have
[04:06] <JohnWittle> I think this is fatal. I'm gonna reinstall.
[04:06] <Suidog> hmw: http://paste.ubuntu.com/121311/
[04:06] <JohnWittle> and be careful as to what I unselect next time
[04:07] <w0x01F> are there real humans
[04:07] <_VIM_> O.o
[04:08] <hmw> Suidog - were you able to connect the two pcs without a hub, without the bridge active?
[04:08] <Suidog> hmw: Anything
[04:08] <Sylphid> w0x01F, nope only us artificial ones
[04:08] <Suidog> ?
[04:08] <martin_henry> hi all, i've just installed 8.10 x86_64 and i'm trying to get my netgear wg311v3 wireless card working like it did in 32bit 8.04. it installs via ndiswrapper but DMESG doesn't ever say "driver loaded" any ideas?
[04:08] <Suidog> hmw: haven't tried
[04:08] <Runesaber> Hello Ubuntu users -- Is there an easy way to specify a custom block size for ext3 during install? I'm trying to install on an SSD with 4k blocks, and I'm a little stumped
[04:09] <Barridus> hi, question about kernel headers if anyone can help.  during a hardy update, kernel 2.6.24-23.48 gave me kernel panic with ACPI.  since i did not want to disable ACPI on a netbook, i rolled back to .46.  i notice my linux headers-generic is still at .48 and force version is grayed out.  the netbook seems to be working ok, but the fact they're slightly different versions bugs me.  anyone have thoughts/insights?
[04:09] <ZachFlem> hi folks, i have my bcm43x card working now, i can connect to my wifi network, but once connected, i cant connect to any websites etc.
[04:09] <hmw> first thing, i would like to check, is that your "crossover" works. Remove the ath and the bridge and check out. A 'tail -f /var/log/messages' might give more clues about whats going on
[04:09] <ndf> hi, i have a file that's growing in size, how can i watch the size grow? i don't want to keep right-clicking the file and opening properties and closing it repeatedly
[04:09] <Mrono> I'm having some issues with fstab
[04:09] <ndf> or even selecting/unselecting to read size in bottom left of nautilus
[04:10] <Mrono> trying to mount a seperate drive and i added the following line to fstab
[04:10] <martin_henry> ndf: doesn't the Properties window update?
[04:10] <Sylphid> Runesaber, easiest way i can think of is to manually partition the hard drive from a live cd then just install to the partitions without reformatting
[04:10] <ndf> martin_henry: doesn't seem to
[04:10] <Mrono> /dev/sdb1       /data   ext3    auto,rw,user robert        0       0
[04:10] <Suidog> hwm:  ok.. I can't do that right now cuz the wife is using the internet right now on the wireless.. .. and you know I was planning on getting some this weekend..
[04:10] <martin_henry> ndf: oh ok, then i don't know.
[04:10] <Izinucs> Barridus: usually when you get a kernel update you have the previous one and the new one at the same time.. on boot the newest is at the top of the list and used.. if you want you can use synaptic and uninstall the newer kernel or rearrang grub list to show the one that workd on the top.
[04:10] <ndf> k
[04:11] <Mrono> is there a way to make the system reread the fstab file or do i have to reboot
[04:11] <Runesaber> Sylphid: can I do that from the standard install CD just by hitting 'try ubuntu' instead of 'install'?
[04:11] <Sylphid> Runesaber, sure can
[04:11] <Izinucs> Mrono: sudo mount -a
[04:11] <Suidog> I may be incorrect in the cross over thing.  let me check to see if the card supports it in the docs.. brb
[04:11] <Mrono> is there anything wrong with this line in fstab "/dev/sdb1       /data   ext3    auto,rw,user robert        0       0"
[04:11] <Mrono> says it's bad
[04:11] <Runesaber> Sylphid: mkfs.ext3 -b 4096 /dev/sda2 ?
[04:12] <Barridus> Izinucs, that doesn't seem to be the case with this since i upgraded from 2.6.24-23.46 to 2.6.24-23.48
[04:12] <Izinucs> k
[04:12] <Sylphid> Runesaber, assuming sda2 is the correct partition that should do it
[04:12] <Runesaber> yeah, second partition on my ssd. thanks alot!
[04:12] <Sylphid> Runesaber, no problem
[04:12] <Izinucs> Mrono: this is the first line in fstab that I've seen with a users name in the line
[04:12] <Barridus> my grub only lists other older kernels that aren't in the "24-23" family
[04:12] <wolter> is there another window manager that is not metacity or compiz ?
[04:12] <wolter> like something in between
[04:13] <martin_henry> hi all, i've just installed 8.10 x86_64 and i'm trying to get my netgear wg311v3 wireless card working like it did in 32bit 8.04. it installs via ndiswrapper but DMESG doesn't ever say "driver loaded"...any ideas?
[04:13] <CentHOGG> hi, does anybody here use one of those 3 antenna PCI wireless adapters?
[04:14] <Plugh> Mrono: I do a mount where I need to set the user. I use "uid=username" in the options portion
[04:14] <Izinucs> wolter metapiz... :)
[04:14] <Sylphid> Barridus, sudo update-grub
[04:14] <Plugh> Mrono: I think the problem you have is the space between user and robert
[04:14] <Mrono> i removed the name now it's saying bad superblod or wronf fs type but i know it's ext3
[04:15] <Barridus> sylphid, what does that do please?
[04:15] <hmw> Suidog - too bad. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_crossover_cable claims, that you dont need a crossover cable for gigabit, not below.
[04:15] <_VIM_> wolter: you want something lighter than Gnome? there's Xubuntu
[04:15] <wolter> Izinucs, ,,,
[04:15] <Sylphid> Barridus, rebuilds /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:15] <wolter> _VIM_, no, I just want a window managwer
[04:15] <Izinucs> Mrono: hang on and I'll pastebin mine.. you can use it as an example..
[04:15] <Mrono> k thanks
[04:15] <wolter> _VIM_, I can handle compiz, but i want something else when I am not on AC, but not as ugly as metacity
[04:15] <_VIM_> wolter: try fluxbox, openbox, icewm
[04:16] <finer_recliner> anyone know how to tell which video driver my computer is running?
[04:16] <_VIM_> wolter: maybe LXDE then
[04:16] <Barridus> sylphid ok cool.
[04:16] <wolter> _VIM_, ok
[04:16] <Barridus> i'm just curious why i can't roll back the headers though.  do things get removed from repos?
[04:16] <Sylphid> finer_recliner, look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:16] <Izinucs> Mrono: http://pastebin.com/f4ee99eaf
[04:17] <finer_recliner> @Sylphid, i already tried looking at my xorg.conf, but its more or less empty, all it has is an "identifier" line in the "device" section
[04:18] <Izinucs> Mrono: I'll do another from another machine .. hang on.. that last one was from my server..
[04:18] <Sylphid> finer_recliner, you are probably using the vesa driver then
[04:18] <wolter> _VIM_, but LXDE is for gnome right?
[04:18] <Mrono> just so i know i'm not going retarded, how do i check the partitions?
[04:18] <the7thmagus> hi. I mounted an iso image of a DVD using Archive Mounter. how do I play this using Totem/VLC?
[04:18] <Izinucs> Mrono: http://pastebin.com/f5756291b
[04:18] <finer_recliner> is there a command to force my computer to use the intel video driver
[04:18] <lstarnes> wolter: lxde is a separate desktop environment.  I think it also uses gtk for its widget toolkit but it can work without gnome
[04:19] <_VIM_> LXDE is it's own Desktop environment wolter
[04:19] <wolter> lstarnes, _VIM_, i want something of the type of compiz and metacity, but like in between: no cool effects, but nice window moving--smooth.
[04:19] <Izinucs> Mrono: the first harddrive is sda  .. the first partition on the first drive is sda1 the second sda2.. the second harddrive is sdb then the first partition sdb1 and the second sdb2 etc..
[04:20] <_VIM_> wolter: LXDE should provide that at least
[04:21] <Mrono> yeah
[04:21] <Mrono> i know it's sdb1
[04:21] <hmw> with my power cable connected to my notebook, my ubuntu often claims, i would be running on battery. doesnt happen in win. Is this a know bug or just a crappy notebook? unplugging and replugging "repairs", but the message will come up again some time later. anyone else expiriencing this?
[04:21] <JohnWittle> I have ubuntu without a desktop environment installed. Is there any way to adjust the font size?
[04:21] <wolter> _VIM_, can I do lxde --replace to use it?
[04:21] <godzirra> How do I figure out what version of ubuntu I'm running?
[04:21] <wolter> thats what I want. something simple. Something I don't have to boot in.
[04:22] <IndyGunFreak> godzirra: in a terminal "lsb_release -a" no quotes
[04:22] <Izinucs> hmw: on a rare occation on my dell vostro 1400 .. mostly I think that it might be a cold solder joint.. but you might have the right idea.
[04:22] <Barridus> i've been been messing around with various repo packages trying different things to see what ubuntu can do.  i'm sure there's a few things that got installed as dependencies that i no longer need.  is there an easy way to locate/clean some of that off?
[04:22] <markhuk> Hello All :)
[04:22] <godzirra> IndyGunFreak: thakns
[04:22] <godzirra> Trying to get virtualbox running on an HP Mini.
[04:22] <Izinucs> Barridus: sudo apt-get autoclean
[04:23] <hmw> Izinucs - since it never happens with windows, hardware is not under suspicion
[04:23] <_VIM_> wolter: you can try, im not totally sure on that one sorry
[04:23] <Izinucs> Barridus: sudo apt-get autoremove  .. something like that
[04:23] <cobra-the-joker> Hey there guys.....i just installed ubuntu ...but i am having a problem here
[04:23] <godzirra> IndyGunFreak: Uh, that gave me some info, but didn't say anything like "Ubuntu Hardy" or anything.
[04:23] <godzirra>  iguess because its hp and they don't want it to say ubuntu.
[04:23] <wolter> _VIM_, but, metacity and compiz are window managers right? Or am I using the wrong term?
[04:23] <cobra-the-joker> when i search for anything to install with apt-get install ....  i cant find it :(
[04:23] <godzirra> Okay googling found it.. its based on hardy heron 8.0.4
[04:23] <IndyGunFreak> godzirra: it shoulda told you what version it was....
[04:23] <Izinucs> hmw: like I said.. not sure where it comes from but if you know how to fix it.. good.. you might consider filing a bug but against what package I don't know.
[04:24] <_VIM_> wolter: yeah
[04:24] <IndyGunFreak> godzirra: what type of PC is it?
[04:24] <Apple43> Hi all
[04:24] <hmw> wolter: compiz is a composite manager (think of an additional 3d layer for window managers) - but i think, i saw something about using compiz as a window manager, too, but it would have to be configured that way
[04:24] <godzirra> But when I try and install a deb, its telling me that "dpkg: error processing virtualbox-i386.deb (--install): package architecture (i386) does not match system (lpia)"
[04:24] <bluefox815> cobra-the-joker:  Try going to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager
[04:24] <godzirra> IndyGunFreak: Its an HP Mini.
[04:24] <godzirra> IndyGunFreak: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9125653&st=hp+mini&lp=1&type=product&cp=1&id=1218028867515
[04:24] <Apple43> anyone know a linux command which will get the contents of a file between two line lines... ?
[04:24] <godzirra> That.
[04:24] <hmw> Izinucs - lol. well... okay. its not really killing me. thx
[04:24] <markhuk> Can anyone help me get finish my server set up on my Ubuntu 8.10? I am 75% there already, just struggling :(
[04:24] <Mrono> now i've just got /dev/sdb1       /data   ext2    defaults        0       0 but when i try to access it i get permission denied
[04:25] <cobra-the-joker> bluefox815 ....found only the installed packages on my system
[04:25] <redvamp128> cobra-the-joker:  depends on what you are looking for-- for java , flash and things like that you have to goto software sources and enable multiverse
[04:25] <_VIM_> it's still a window manager hmw according to Wikipedia
[04:25] <wolter> hmw, oh ok
[04:25] <Barridus> Izinucs, thanks that removed some stuff (although less than i thought) gonna reboot, cross your fingers please :)
[04:25] <IndyGunFreak> godzirra: i see...
[04:25] <wolter> hmw, so i need a composite manager, not a window manager
[04:25] <godzirra> IndyGunFreak: and i'm trying to install virtualbox on it so that I can run GSAK (geocaching software)
[04:25] <cobra-the-joker> redvamp128 ..ok ...will try
[04:25] <bluefox815> cobra-the-joker:  What version of Ubuntu do you have?
[04:25] <Mrono> wolter : compviz i think
[04:25] <Pavlz> hello
[04:25] <godzirra> IndyGunFreak: but it seems to think I don't have an i386 system.
[04:25] <cobra-the-joker> 8.04
[04:25] <Pavlz> i got one problem
[04:25] <cobra-the-joker> didnt had this problem before though
[04:26] <IndyGunFreak> godzirra: what is the output of uname -a
[04:26] <_VIM_> !enter | cobra-the-joker
[04:26] <hmw> wolter: you could simply turn off all the unneccesary plugins for compiz. you can even make it look like no compiz would be running at all.
[04:26] <wolter> Mrono, nah, I need something not as ugly as metacity, but not as cool as compiz when I am on battery power
[04:26] <transporter> does anyone know how to take a screenshot while the cube is in motion
[04:26] <Pavlz> i don't find the add-ons to download a movie about censorship in Italy
[04:26] <wolter> hmw, yeah, but when I want to use them? Thats too complicated.
[04:26] <godzirra> IndyGunFreak: Linux shawn-umpc 2.6.2419-lpia #1 <date> i686 GNU/Linux
[04:26] <Sylphid> Apple43, awk should be able to do it... though i dont know the syntax off the top of my head
[04:26] <usser> Apple43, tail and head ie tail -100 filename | head -2  this will get you two lines 99 and 100
[04:26] <_VIM_> !codecs | Pavlz
[04:27] <IndyGunFreak> godzirra: well, thats 32bit
[04:27] <transporter>  does anyone know how to take a screenshot while the cube is in motion
[04:27] <godzirra> IndyGunFreak: and that means..?
[04:27] <hmw> wolter: using a composite manager means, that every window gets its own memory area for drawing itself onto, and the composite manager composes those images to one screen, therefore 3d transformations can be done. without a composite manager, every window will get "redraw" commands from the system, once they need to be refreshed. composite means slower.
[04:27] <bluefox815> cobra-the-joker:  That's strange, did you perform any major/minor system changes before this started happening?
[04:27] <cobra-the-joker> ﻿redvamp128 .... should i choose to download from the main server ?
[04:27] <transporter> #compiz
[04:27] <IndyGunFreak> that the error youre getting, is incorrect
[04:27] <Izinucs> transporter: hit print-screen
[04:27] <transporter> Izinucs: lemme try it
[04:27] <Pavlz> i convert in ogg then
[04:28] <godzirra> IndyGunFreak: Well crud.
[04:28] <cobra-the-joker> its in the ubuntu software tab --(software sources)
[04:28] <Pavlz> i use ffmpeg2theora
[04:28] <yowshi> jrib: what would cause a usb mouse to work only with mouse buttons activated but then only as long as none of the mouse buttons were acxtually touched?
[04:28] <godzirra> IndyGunFreak: Should I force it and see if it works?
[04:28] <redvamp128> cobra-the-joker:  for me I have the first 4 checkmarked
[04:28] <yowshi> jrib: and how do i fix that
[04:28] <wolter> hmw, no problem. I understant that. I just said I want something not as minimalistic as metacity, and not as resource hugging as compiz, to use it either when I am low on battery power or want to run 3d games.
[04:28] <IndyGunFreak> godzirra: I don't have much vb experience to really give you a good, informed answer
[04:28] <cobra-the-joker> bluefox815 ....none .... just installed it
[04:28] <godzirra> vb?
[04:28] <godzirra> Ah.
[04:28] <godzirra> okay.
[04:28] <Pavlz> i need only to download a movie about the censorship in Italy that is on youtube and is a file *.flv
[04:29] <transporter> Izinucs: well to initiate the cube its set to ctrl + alt + button1 so its difficult to press the print screen button
[04:29] <hmw> wolter: you could install "fusion-icon" and simply turn off compiz when needed. it also lets you access compiz config more conviniently
[04:29] <godzirra> Well crud.
[04:29] <godzirra> GSAK is the only windows program I actually need.
[04:29] <ETie> Crud!
[04:29] <markhuk> Can someone who knows a little about webservers pleas PM me? Its a little busy here :D
[04:29] <wolter> hmw, i know....
[04:29] <godzirra> And I'd rather not run windows just so I can use gsak.
[04:29] <hmw> wolter: ic. cant help more, then.
[04:29] <Barridus> whee, thanks Izinucs
[04:29] <redvamp128> markhuk:  you could try #ubuntu-server
[04:29] <wolter> hmw, i want a composite manager, not a composite manager switch
[04:29] <_VIM_> Pavlz: youtube videos are located in /tmp when you view them, it gets saved there
[04:29] <yowshi> what would cause a usb mouse to work only with mouse buttons activated but then only as long as none of the mouse buttons were actually touched? and how do i fix it?
[04:30] <transporter> #compiz
[04:30] <hmw> wolter: to save energy, you would most likely not use a composite manager
[04:30] <Mrono> ok now when i mount the drive i can't access it, says permission denied
[04:30] <cobra-the-joker> i checked the archive.canonical thing in the third party ....its now i think downloading repo information or something
[04:30] <markhuk> #ubuntu-server
[04:30] <Izinucs> transporter: if you want to capture it "mid turn" then use ctrl+alt+mouse button and drag.. when you have the cube in the position you want you can let go of ctrl+alt but not the left mouse button.. then hit print screen
[04:30] <redvamp128> markhuk:  that room should be able to help you with webservers
[04:31] <transporter> Izinucs: lets try that too :D
[04:31] <cobra-the-joker> ok ...it worked
[04:31] <ETie> ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver
[04:31] <ETie> for real ? i need a driver?
[04:31] <ETie> is this risky?
[04:31] <Guest54513> I'm about to install windows so I can dual boot linux and windows, what can I do to keep installing windows from messing up GRUB?
[04:31] <Apple43> anyone know a linux command which will get the contents of a file between two line lines... ?
[04:31] <transporter> Izinucs: cool thanx it worked
[04:32] <transporter> :D
[04:32] <Izinucs> transporter: cool
[04:32] <Rolcol> How can I mount a virtualbox shared folder so a user has full read/write access
[04:32] <transporter> Izinucs:  thanx a lot u have a great day :D
[04:32] <nuno_> ghhf
[04:32] <Rolcol> I have read/write from root
[04:32] <hmw> Guest54513 - nothing. windows blindly overwrites the MBR. you can repair the MBR after installing windows, not very difficult.
[04:32] <wolter> what i hate about metacity is the bad rendering of moving entities through screen and icons..
[04:32] <chu_> Apple43, you could use a combination of cat and less I guess?
[04:32] <Guest54513> How do I do that?
[04:32] <Guest54513> I have a year old Super Grub disk
[04:32] <hmw> !grub > Guest54513
[04:33] <nuno_> fx
[04:33] <keres> how do you make gedit the default text editor inside of a desktop enviroment such as xfce?
[04:33] <nuno_> asl
[04:33] <cobra-the-joker> lol ....and also the wirless card worked
[04:33] <chu_> replace mousepad with gedit? Sorry, stupid answer.
[04:33] <topgun17>  heelo
[04:34] <yowshi> what would cause a usb mouse to work only with mouse buttons activated but then only as long as none of the mouse buttons were actually touched? and how do i fix it?
[04:34] <_VIM_> replace them all with VIM!
[04:34] <_VIM_> muhahahaha
[04:34] <hmw> yowshi - sounds strange, maybe a hardware failure. Does the mouse not move, without pressed buttons?
[04:35] <ETie> damn this driver wont download!P
[04:35] <chu_> I want acpi support for asus *50gl series laptops to be added to Intrepid :(
[04:35] <hmw> yowshi - or is it the other way around - mouse no longer moving, when button pressed?
[04:36] <topgun17>  I Turn twenty-one on friday
[04:36] <yowshi> hmw: i just had the usb mouse working for a couple hours or so i thought it was done but i forgot mouse buttons were active so i reflexivly went to use the num pad and it stopped workinfg. when i turned mouse buttons off and then rebooted the mouse worked but only for a couple minutes or so
[04:36] <kentuckybigfoot> What's the command to list all of network devices detected?
[04:36] <yowshi> hmw: by mouse buttons i mean the keyboard function that allows you to use the numpad for a mouse
[04:36] <Sylphid> Apple43, awk 'NR>=LINENUMBER&&NR<=LINENUMBER' file
[04:36] <hmw> yowshi - explain "mouse buttons are active"
[04:36] <_VIM_> keres: go to Applications>Settings>Settings manager> Preferred Applications
[04:36] <usser> Apple43, tail and head ie tail -100 filename | head -2  this will get you two lines 99 and 100
[04:36] <Mrono> how do i set a user in fstab
[04:37] <Mrono> uid=robert didn't work
[04:37] <Sylphid> Apple43, where the first LINENUMBER is the lower limit and the 2nd is the upper limit
[04:37] <hmw> yowshi - battery empty?
[04:37] <usser> Appiah, do you even read what people tell you
[04:37] <arvind_khadri> hi, lbltld3 isnt there in the repo's , how i install it? am on 81.0 shall i use the repo of 8.04 ?
[04:37] <yowshi> hmw: system _. preferences -> keyboard. in there is a tab called mouse keys or mouse buttons. you activate that and your numpad now moves the mouse pointer
[04:37] <hmw> yowshi - i honestly dont know. but it sounds like a hardware issue to me.
[04:37] <keres> _VIM_, thanks. text editor isnt listed there :/
[04:37] <yowshi> hmw: it isnt a wireless mouse
[04:37] <_VIM_> its not? O.o ok hold on keres
[04:38] <yowshi> hmw: i doubt it is the mouse or the usb port.
[04:38] <kentuckybigfoot> What is the command to list all of the detect network devices?
[04:38] <arvind_khadri> kentuckybigfoot, lshw -C
[04:38] <kentuckybigfoot> thank you :D
[04:38] <kentuckybigfoot> had s and h backwards
[04:38] <hmw> yowshi - hmm... mouse working for a couple of minutes and then stops? maybe looking into the system logs might give you hints
[04:38] <usser> Apple43, head -10 filename | tail -2 gives you line 9 and 10
[04:39] <hmw> usser - do you per chance know, how to extract line 2, 3,  7, 8,  14, 15 or similar?
[04:40] <ghotli> usser: that's a handy syntax. i'll be using that in the future. thanks.
[04:40] <Sylphid> hmw, awk 'NR==LINENUMBER' file
[04:40] <hmw> Sylphid usser thx
[04:41] <prologic> Q: Ubuntu 8.10 installer. Brand new PC with SATA II dick. In the "Prepare Partisions" window, all of the options are greayed out. I can't select anything. Why ?
[04:41] <usser> ghotli, no problem
[04:41] <_VIM_> keres: check out this last post, It might help, but I haven't tried it yet so I can't be certain... http://www.nabble.com/change-default-text-editor--td1223679.html

[04:42] <Izinucs> prologic: is this the live cd?
[04:42] <usser> hmw, what Sylphid said
[04:42] <prologic> Q: Ubuntu 8.10 installer. Brand new PC with SATA II disk. In the "Prepare Partisions" window, all of the options are greayed out. I can't select anything. Why ?
[04:42] <prologic> Izinucs, yes the live cd downloaded from ubuntu.com 8.10
[04:43] <yowshi> what would cause a usb mouse to work only with mouse buttons activated but then only as long as none of the mouse buttons were actually touched? and how do i fix it?
[04:43] <prologic> $ md5sum ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso
[04:43] <prologic> 24ea1163ea6c9f5dae77de8c49ee7c03  ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso
[04:43] <Izinucs> prologic: ok.. on the screen that comes up on boot before hitting enter to get to the actual live desktop.. hit f6 and at the end of the kernel line enter lspci=nomsi .. then hit enter to continue to load the live desktop.. see if that makes a difference at the partitioning section.
[04:44] <Mrono> grr this is really annoying
[04:44] <prologic> Izinucs, ok thanks I'll try this.
[04:44] <burl_dean> i installed ubuntu using wubi is there anyway to partition the root disk so I can add another linux distro?
[04:44] <tiedaoyouhun> only the  root can  use usb   ,what can I do
[04:44] <Mrono> /dev/sdb1       /data   ext2    rw,users,owner,umask=0000        0       0
[04:44] <Mrono> i get the bad superblock error
[04:45] <MrMacPlus> Hello, I would like to install Ubuntu on my spare PowerMac G3, but it has no internet connection. Is there any practical way to install applications on Ubuntu without having to use the package manager and it's apparent need for internet?
[04:45] <tiedaoyouhun> And the /etc/group  have not the usbuser group
[04:45] <redvamp128> MrMacPlus:  Only way I see is here if no internet - Ubuntu -- Ubuntu Packages Search <http://packages.ubuntu.com/>
[04:46] <Izinucs> !aptoncd | MrMacPlus
[04:46] <ddcc> does a dmidecode response of "Type: EDO DIMM" and "Type Detail: Synchronous" indicate that i'm using sdram or edo dram?
[04:46] <redvamp128> MrMacPlus:  that and also here Medibuntu -- Medibuntu packages <http://packages.medibuntu.org/>
[04:46] <Mrono> anyone know about fstab?
[04:46] <MrMacPlus> Is it possible to use Apt-on-CD on an x86 liveCD?
[04:46] <tiedaoyouhun>  only the  root can  use usb ,And the /etc/group  have not the usbuser group   what can I do
[04:48] <Izinucs> Mrono: check out www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html#what
[04:48] <roadrock> tiedaoyouhun: try system - preferences - removable drives and media, adjust permissions. works on hardy.
[04:49] <Mrono> liznucs seen it lots of times, doesn't help my problem
[04:50] <hmw> mrono - maybe this helps: http://sblinux.org/pages/fstab01.html
[04:50] <gords> hi all! what are the free rtmp server which runs on ubuntu 8?
[04:50] <Mrono> /dev/sdb1       /data   ext2    defaults,umask=0333       0       0
[04:50] <Izinucs> Mrono: I'm confused then because I've obviously missed something. what are  you trying to do?
[04:50] <Mrono> mounts it but i get permission denied
[04:50] <Mrono> mount a seperate drive into /data
[04:50] <ddcc> does a dmidecode response of "Type: EDO DIMM" and "Type Detail: Synchronous" indicate that i'm using sdram or edo dram?
[04:50] <Mrono> that line will mount the partition, but i can't access it
[04:50] <Mrono> says permission denied
[04:51] <entro_> Hey everybody, anybody think they could help me out with Compiz? This is my first day on ubuntu btw :D
[04:51] <Izinucs> Mrono: so let's see.. the easy way is.. sudo mount /dev/<partition> /media/data  .. this is assuming that you've created a directory/folder in /media called data.. sudo mkdir /media/data
[04:52] <_VIM_> !yay | entro_
[04:52] <Mrono> i have
[04:52] <Mrono> i'll issue that command 1 sec
[04:52] <entro_> :D
[04:52] <arvind_khadri> entro_, sure ask man :)
[04:52] <arvind_khadri> _VIM_, :P
[04:52] <Izinucs> Mrono: then if this is a perminant drive and not a usb drive you'll need the uuid which can be discovered with sudo blkid
[04:53] <entro_> Well, I got compiz installed, but when I try and change my appearance preference from extra to custom, it keeps going back to extra
[04:53] <caustin_> Anyone here tripple booting with Ubuntu, Vista and XP?
[04:53] <entro_> I used the compiz script to see if my computer supported it and it said I passed everything too
[04:53] <arvind_khadri> Izinucs, Mrono sudo mount -t ext2 is the safer way to do it
[04:53] <Izinucs> arvind_khadri: but give the whole thing to mount to /media/data
[04:53] <arvind_khadri> entro_, you using ccsm-simple?
[04:54] <entro_> not sure
[04:54] <entro_> I think I might have installed ccsm
[04:54] <entro_> if that's possible
[04:54] <arvind_khadri> Izinucs, oh :) sudo mount -t ext2 /dev/<drive number> /media/<name>
[04:54] <entro_> I typed sudo apt-get install ccsm I'm pretty sure
[04:54] <abarai_renji> hi, i have an on board VGA in my motherboard (nvidia GeForce 6100) in ubuntu 8.10 64 bit, what and where do i have to download the driver for it?thanks
[04:55] <arvind_khadri> entro_, as far as my knowledge goes custom and extra have the same effect :)
[04:55] <Izinucs> arvind_khadri: and to make it persistant in fstab? this is for Mrono .. .
[04:55] <Mrono> "sudo mount -t ext2 /dev/sdb1 /media/data" tried to cd into /media/data and i get 'permission denied'
[04:55] <entro_> is there a way to test to see if it's working?
[04:55] <arvind_khadri> abarai_renji, from the repos
[04:55] <entro_> I've been trying to get the fire animation working
[04:55] <entro_> but I sure as hell haven't seen any flames :D
[04:55] <arvind_khadri> entro_, try enabling cube and stuff...
[04:55] <redvamp128> abarai_renji:  you could try going into system- administration- then restricted drivers and see if it is listed there -- to use the nvidia drivers
[04:55] <entro_> alright I'll give it a try
[04:56] <arvind_khadri> Izinucs, he will need to add uuid in the fstab
[04:56] <redvamp128> abarai_renji:  correction - system- administration - then hardware drivers
[04:56] <abarai_renji> arvind_khadri, yes but its on my Bro's PC it's not online
[04:56] <rcscomp> How do I get the kernel source for a 8.04 server install?
[04:56] <roadrock> Mrono: sudo chown -R user:user /media/data   try that using your username or user:root will give you perms too.
[04:56] <ETie> what the fuck

[04:58] <_VIM_> !PPA | forces (try this too)...
[04:58] <arvind_khadri> Izinucs, no he just has to edit the file for UUIDS... the entries would remain the same
[04:58] <Izinucs> arvind_khadri: thanks
[04:58] <arvind_khadri> Izinucs, oh :) sudo mount -t ext2 /dev/<drive number> /media/<name> -o <uid> ... uid is generally 1000

[04:59] <Izinucs> arvind_khadri: Mrono is getting permission denied when he tries to mount
[04:59] <Mrono> not when i try to mount, when i try to access the mount
[04:59] <cobra-the-joker> _VIM_ ......the prefered ...or the most popular maybe
[04:59] <arvind_khadri> Izinucs, aah... Mrono are you the only user of this machine? do you have root access?
[05:00] <_VIM_> !players | cobra-the-joker (Try these then...)
[05:00] <keres> anyone know of any light weight text editor with syntax highlighting?
[05:00] <hmw> Mrono - how do you trigger the permission denied message? ls, vi, ...?
[05:00] <Mrono> cd /media/data
[05:00] <arvind_khadri> keres, gedit
[05:00] <Mrono> fresh machine, only user
[05:00] <forces> "As usual, the stable branch only contains bug fixes, and no new features."
[05:00] <_VIM_> forces: you prolly have to get a PPA
[05:00] <Izinucs> Mrono: use nicks.. that way the person will know when you're talking to them..  did you see the above arvind_khadri
[05:00] <hmw> Mrono - can you "sudo ls /media/data" ?
[05:01] <arvind_khadri> Mrono,  sudo mount -t ext2 /dev/<drive number> /media/<name> -o <uid> ... uid is generally 1000 tried this??
[05:01] <arvind_khadri> Izinucs, ya i saw..
[05:01] <forces> xfce 4.4.2 = many bugs, 4.4.3 = bug fixes
[05:01] <_VIM_> !ppa > forces (incase you forgot the link)...
[05:01] <Mrono> hmw: yes that works
[05:01] <Mrono> arvind_khadri: i did try that, still get permission denied
[05:02] <hmw> Mrono - mount the partition, "sudo chmod 0777 /media/data" should open access, too, i think
[05:02] <arvind_khadri> Mrono,  please paste your fstab
[05:02] <arvind_khadri> !paste | Mrono

[05:03] <ZachFlem> can anyone suggest why i cant access the internet via wifi even when the network says its connected sucessfully??
[05:04] <cobra-the-joker> mmmm.....annoying ...i installed the adobe flash player and still nothing to be mentioned (youtube videos still dont work )
[05:04] <arvind_khadri> ZachFlem, look whether you can ping yahoo ?

[05:04] <sparky> arvind_khadri: there's no sound when I play anything?
[05:04] <arooni-mobile> Izinucs, that would be interesting too;  but i also would like it to count up.    i'd like really to time how long a given tasks takes
[05:04] <arooni-mobile> Izinucs, also countdown would be interesting;  if you have suggestoins there
[05:04] <forces> how can I see all the packages in intrepid-backports?
[05:04] <arvind_khadri> sparky, look into the sound levels... open the terminal and type alsamixer
[05:04] <ZachFlem> nope, cant ping anything, eth works fine (using it now)
[05:05] <Sylphid> cobra-the-joker, did you install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package

[05:09] <meoblast001> has anyone else had that problem?
[05:09] <Nytrix> bah!
[05:09] <_VIM_> lol sorry
[05:09] <arvind_khadri> Mrono, rmove the word defaults and add rw. save the file and then sudo mount -a

[05:10] <_VIM_> best i could do! ;)
[05:10] <meoblast001> i think i need to format my server
[05:10] <Izinucs> arooni-mobile: sorry the other I cant seem to locate
[05:10] <hmw> meoblast001 - sounds very unusual. how large is the partition?
[05:10] <_VIM_> Clonezilla is nice, but im sure partimagic and Fog is too
[05:10] <arooni-mobile> Izinucs, there is gtimer;  but its a bit raw in terms of UI
[05:10] <Sylphid> cobra-the-joker, system > administration > software sources

[05:10] <dtchen> Joram: dpkg --print-architecture
[05:10] <Sylphid> cobra-the-joker, make sure multiverse is checked
[05:10] <Barridus> arvind_khadri,  i'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing.  i'm just saying you know how ubuntu (version whatever) comes with packages that eventually get updated via updates.  that's what i'm talking about. can an update always be rolled back to default like it was off the live cd installer?
[05:10] <McShane> Joram, 32-bit is "i686," 64-bit version is "86_64"
[05:10] <cobra-the-joker> i think i enabled it from sources.list
[05:10] <Izinucs> arooni-mobile: no the other I'm trying to find allow you to set "to do's
[05:11] <Mrono> arvind_khadri: still error
[05:11] <entro_> Hey, so I figured out compiz, and I used the draw fire animation, however my desktop is on fire and won't stop burning
[05:11] <meoblast001> why does the world hate me
[05:11] <entro_> any help :D?
[05:11] <hmw> meoblast001 - do you know, what file(s) eat(s) up the drive? use du for checking
[05:11] <Sylphid> cobra-the-joker, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[05:11] <arvind_khadri> Barridus, no you cant rollback
[05:11] <meoblast001> they designed ubuntu to die on me
[05:11] <Joram> awesome. faster than dell's customer service
[05:11] <arooni-mobile> Izinucs, that would be cool
[05:11] <meoblast001> just like kingston designed ram to die on me
[05:11] <Izinucs> arooni-mobile: to do's or chores that you time individually for billing purposes.. but can be used for personal use too..
[05:11] <arooni-mobile> Izinucs, yes that would be rad
[05:11] <meoblast001> hmw: it's printing out a lot of stuff
[05:11] <Izinucs> arooni-mobile: can't remember the name or find it in synaptic
[05:12] <meoblast001> hmw: i was supposed to do du / right?
[05:12] <arooni-mobile> Izinucs,  oh wells thanks for looking; if you rmeember, please let me know
[05:12] <Izinucs> k
[05:12] <entro_> anybody know how to stop the fire animation with compiz?
[05:12] <Joram> McShane, I get "i386"!
[05:13] <prologic> Izinucs, your suggestion of lspci=nomsi did not work :/
[05:13] <Izinucs> arooni-mobile: actually you already had it.. gtimer.. looks basic but dive into it and see what it can do
[05:13] <McShane> Joram, that's the 32-bit version too
[05:13] <Barridus> arvind_khadri, ok we were on the same page.  let's say i wanted to anyways, is it possible through another way?
[05:13] <Sylphid> Eneloop, shift + super + c
[05:13] <hmw> meoblast001 - read the man page for finding how to use it... i dont know it by heart either. look for something not showing stuff recursively and approach the file this way. look into your system log files, maybe you find anything there, that might give you a hint. might even be some sort of attack/crash/abuse
[05:13] <Mrono> arvind_khadri: any ideas?
[05:13] <heavyarms123> hey guys quick question, is there a way to disable the transfer file window from popping up in xchat??
[05:13] <entro_> thank you soooo much
[05:13] <Sylphid> entro_, shift + super + c
[05:13] <arooni-mobile> Izinucs, yeah the UI is a  bit wonky; but it seems good enough
[05:13] <entro_> thanks a lot
[05:13] <meoblast001> hmw: i'm so lost
[05:13] <hmw> meoblast001 - i can imagine
[05:13] <Joram> I have Intel Core 2 Duo T5550 (2 Mo cache/1,83GHz), shouldn't I be better off with 64-bit version?
[05:13] <entro_> my laptop was burning up
[05:14] <Izinucs> prologic: sorry 'bout that.. sould be that you're suffering the bug that can't figure out the layout of the drive.  search launchpad for the bug
[05:14] <cobra-the-joker> Sylphid , is this command updates the hole system?
[05:14] <Izinucs> should = could
[05:15] <prologic> Anyone have any ideas why in the "Prepare Partitions" screen of the Ubuntu 8.10 Live CD, the options are all grayed out ? This is on a -brand- new PC with a SATA II disk. A previous suggestion of adding lspci=nomsi to the kernel boot options did not work.
[05:15] <meoblast001> hmw: how would i reinstall my forums and such with backed up sql files?
[05:15] <McShane> Joram, in a nutshell: Not necessarily. 64-bit doesn't make things "faster." It just makes certain, very specific tasks faster, like converting audio and video files.
[05:15] <prologic> Izinucs, would it perhaps have anything to do with buggered up BIOS settings for the drive ?
[05:15] <Sylphid> cobra-the-joker, no sudo apt-get upgrade gets the system update just refreshes the cashe
[05:15] <hmw> meoblast001 - i think its "du / -s -S -h" (its still running here *g*)
[05:15] <Sylphid> cache*
[05:15] <raheem> prologic: can u right mouse click on the partition & select unmount .. may be that's the issue
[05:15] <cobra-the-joker> ok
[05:16] <hmw> meoblast001 - there is some sort of export for databases, would have to ask google on how to.
[05:16] <arvind_k> Mrono, can you ls /media/<whatever> ??
[05:16] <McShane> Joram: Also, unless you have more than 4GB, it's just not really necessary. Plus, some 64-bit apps in Linux are flaky or non-existent
[05:16] <Izinucs> prologic: maybe but unlikely.. some motherboards have 2 different types of sata connections where one will work only when something is in the other.. I have that on a xfx board I run.
[05:16] <meoblast001> hmw: wth permission denied
[05:16] <hmw> meoblast001 - sudo
[05:16] <prologic> raheem, you mean it's possible the live cd mounted the partision(s) ? (being a brand new disk I wouldn't think it would have any!)
[05:16] <Izinucs> prologic: they're color coded..
[05:17] <meoblast001> hmw: i'm too stressed to think of that on my own :P
[05:17] <Mrono> arvind_k: i can ls it but i get permission denied spam for every file
[05:17] <elvedin> Adobe doesn't make a Flash player for x86-64
[05:17] <hmw> meoblast001 - hmm... didnt work as expected here... i am still trying to find the correct switches
[05:17] <meoblast001> hmw: still get permission denied
[05:17] <prologic> Izinucs, I have a single SATA II disk and an IDE DVD/RW. I'm guessing it matter which SATA port I plug the HDD into ?
[05:17] <Mrono> bwahaha i got it now
[05:17] <meoblast001> hmw: how do i get the size of a directory?
[05:17] <Mrono> had to do it with naut
[05:18] <prologic> meoblast001, du -s -h
[05:18] <hmw> meoblast001 - thats the big question... i read the man page, you could try google meanthilw
[05:18] <Mrono> brb rebooting to make sure it persists
[05:18] <hmw> meanwhile
[05:18] <meoblast001> wtf
[05:18] <meoblast001> i'm deleting ~/.gvfs
[05:18] <yowshi> grrr i was wrong mouse just stopped working while i was playing a game in wine
[05:18] <meoblast001> rm *
[05:19] <roadrock> meoblast001: du -h dir/
[05:19] <elvedin> Or they do make a flash player and mine doesn't work
[05:19] <yowshi> i guess oi will just have to return this usb mouse and get a ps/2 mouse
[05:19] <meoblast001> wth
[05:19] <meoblast001> it's 0
[05:19] <meoblast001> device or busy resource my ass
[05:19] <Izinucs> prologic: no.. what I'm saying is that some motherboards have 2 differently colorcoded sata inputs.. if that is your case then look in the manual for the difference.. one will probably work only if the other has something in it..
[05:19] <hmw> meoblast001 - try "sudo /* -xsh
[05:19] <dooggicam> hallo  are woman heeers
[05:20] <ziroday> dooggicam: yes, do you have something we can help you with?
[05:20] <meoblast001> hmw: that's not a command
[05:20] <_VIM_> dooggicam: who cares?
[05:20] <prologic> Izinucs, hmm ok :) if that -is- in fact the case, I don't really have anything to put in it :)
[05:20] <meoblast001> hmw let me reboot
[05:20] <prologic> Izinucs, I may have to buy another disk!
[05:20]  * Izinucs gets the briss sheers out
[05:20] <hmw> sudo du /* -xsh
[05:20] <meoblast001> hmw: i think the server is going crazy
[05:20] <Sylphid> elvedin, yes they do however the sun flash player is not in intrepid's repos yet ... you have to download from their site
[05:20] <hmw> meoblast001 - it might be some log file that grew
[05:21] <Sylphid> elvedin, intrepid x64 repositories use icedtea
[05:21] <Izinucs> prologic: you'll just have to move the connection from one color to the other to make it work if that is the casee.. no need for another drive.
[05:21] <skate2> where's the rsyslog.conf file in ubuntu?
[05:21] <MellowDude> im getting this error E: timidity: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[05:21] <MellowDude> E: exult: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
[05:21] <MellowDude> how i fix it
[05:21] <prologic> Izinucs, k thanks for your help btw *fingers crossed*
[05:21] <Izinucs> skate2: sudo updatedb  then locate <filename>
[05:21] <skate2> i tried that Izinucs
[05:22] <elvedin> Hmm
[05:22] <meoblast001> hmw: stupid server.. .doesnt read cronjobs
[05:22] <Barridus> is there a iso mounting program that will allow me to mount the ubuntu livecd as a source for packages?  i've tried gisomount and fuseiso, but the package manager is not fooled XD
[05:22] <meoblast001> hmw: i told it to run supybot when it starts
[05:22] <Izinucs> skate2: then you either don't have the file on your system or you did something wrong in the search
[05:22] <meoblast001> hmw: but no it's retarded
[05:22] <MellowDude> can anyone help or not
[05:22] <Sylphid> skate2, i dont think there is an rsyslog.conf
[05:22] <Joram> when I look at the system monitor, is it normal that there's always 1 CPU working 100% and they switch around every now and then?
[05:23] <Sylphid> skate2, only a syslog.conf
[05:23] <hmw> meoblast001 - in most cases computers do exactly, what you tell them to do. thats why so many people hate computers.
[05:23] <MellowDude> E: timidity: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 E: exult: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
[05:23] <meoblast001> hmw: i made a cronjob and a bunch of people in #ubuntu-offtopic said i made it right
[05:23] <Sylphid> skate2, what are you trying to do?
[05:24] <mcnellis> is it possible to have the gnome-drawer to automatically expand all the way out instead of just showing the first item for the first 3 seconds and then expanding?
[05:24] <McShane> Barridus, you'll want to set that in Software Sources -- there's a box to check that enables the CD as a package source
[05:24] <hmw> meoblast001 - i would like to find the big file(s). did you sudo du /* -xsh already?
[05:24] <Frijolie> I need some help writing data to an external USB hard drive
[05:24] <Frijolie> I'm getting "permission denied"
[05:24] <McShane> Barridus, System>Admin>Software Sources
[05:24] <arvind_k> MellowDude, sudo apt-get install -f
[05:24] <meoblast001> hmw: after the restart it's working right now
[05:24] <Barridus> mcshane yeah, but it's not allowing me to select a mounted iso (with gisomount or fuseiso).  i have no cd-rom hardware.
[05:25] <arvind_k> Frijolie, check whether you have permissions to use an external drive or not?
[05:25] <Frijolie> it's automounting via HAL so there's no entry in fstab
[05:25] <MellowDude> Setting up timidity (2.13.2-19ubuntu1) ...
[05:25] <MellowDude>  * Starting TiMidity++ ALSA midi emulation...                            [fail]
[05:25] <Barridus> i think it just polls a nonexistant drive
[05:25] <cobra-the-joker> Hey guys ....is there is a package for Java development that contains IDE's and stuff like that for a java programmer ?
[05:25] <Frijolie> arvind_k, where do you do that?
[05:25] <MellowDude> arvind_K
[05:25] <hmw> cobra-the-joker - my friends like eclipse
[05:25] <MellowDude> it still gives theerror when i dot that
[05:26] <arvind_k> Frijolie, System->Adminstration->Users and groups
[05:26] <MellowDude>  Package timidity is not configured yet
[05:26] <MellowDude> how i config it
[05:26] <MellowDude> ?
[05:26] <Frijolie> arvind_k, "Access external storage devices automatically" is checked
[05:27] <Frijolie> under my user account
[05:27] <cobra-the-joker> hmw ...ok ....but what i meant by a package is that a collection of programmes ..something like ..development suit or programmers suit ...something like that :D
[05:27] <arvind_k> MellowDude, sorry i havent been following you... the use sudo dpkg --configure <package name>
[05:27] <MellowDude> no
[05:27] <MellowDude> hang on
[05:27] <cobra-the-joker> is there something like that in ubuntu ?
[05:27] <arvind_k> Frijolie, ok then .. try using a different port...
[05:27] <hmw> cobra-the-joker eclipse is an IDE for several languages and people say, it's cool. somewhat slow due to being written in java
[05:27] <meoblast001> does anyone know the mysql server 5 dev package off hand? i'm looking for it and cant find it
[05:28] <McShane> cobra-the-joker, the Java JDK is in Synaptic
[05:28] <Frijolie> arvind_k, and right-clicking on the drive's icon on the desktop, under the Permissions tab states "The permissions of "disk" could not be determined"
[05:28] <McShane> I guess "Java JDK" is redundant, but you get me
[05:28] <cobra-the-joker> Okay
[05:28] <arvind_k> Frijolie, hmmm use it on different port...
[05:28] <MellowDude> dpkg: error processing timidity++ (--configure):
[05:28] <MellowDude>  no package named `timidity++' is installed, cannot configure
[05:28] <MellowDude> Errors were encountered while processing:
[05:28] <MellowDude>  timidity++
[05:28] <FloodBot2> MellowDude: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:28] <MellowDude> thats what it gives me
[05:28] <Barridus> so nobody has any experience with iso mounting in ubuntu?  i miss daemon tools in windows XD
[05:29] <arvind_k> MellowDude, try sudo dpkg --configure -a
[05:29] <Frijolie> arvind_k, it was working about 30 minutes ago until I reformatted the drive
[05:29] <arvind_k> Barridus, you can mount it...
[05:29] <Frijolie> arvind_k, plus, that brings up another question
[05:29] <Barridus> arvind_k, with what?  or how?
[05:30] <roadrock> Barridus:  sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 <file.iso> /media/mountpoint
[05:30] <arvind_k> Barridus, there you go ^^
[05:30] <Barridus> ok i'll try that
[05:30] <Frijolie> my hard drive is a 320GB however Nautilus says that it's only got 278.3 GB Free space and 15.1GB is being used
[05:30] <Frijolie> after freshly formatted drive
[05:30] <MellowDude> it will not do thateither
[05:30] <MellowDude> what is timidity++ any ways
[05:30] <MellowDude> do i need it
[05:31] <arvind_k> Frijolie, i feel its a issue of the port
[05:31] <Frijolie> ~278 + 15 != 320GB
[05:31] <MellowDude> can i uninstall it
[05:31] <arvind_k> !info timidity | MellowDude
[05:32] <McShane> Frijolie, that sounds about right
[05:32] <lepine> Frijolie: there's a difference between how HD manufacturers advertize the size, and how most OS's do ...
[05:32] <PowerE_> Frijolie: 8 bits in a byte
[05:32] <lepine> Manufacturers assume 1000 == KB, OS's 1024 == KB
[05:32] <MellowDude> Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[05:33] <Frijolie> McShane, lepine, PowerE_ : ah...
[05:33] <Frijolie> but what's the reserved ~15GB for?
[05:33] <arvind_khadri> MellowDude, could you please brief me again what happened ??
[05:33] <lepine> depends what you've got installed
[05:33] <lepine> can't say right off the bat
[05:33] <Frijolie> I have nothing installed
[05:33] <Frijolie> just reformatted as ext3
[05:33] <lepine> oh, ?
[05:33] <hmw> meoblast001 - du still running?
[05:33] <Frijolie> nothing else..should be just a blank drive for backups
[05:34] <lepine> and it says there's 15gb used?!
[05:34] <Frijolie> lepine, yeah
[05:34] <Frijolie> formatted it in gparted
[05:34] <lepine> weird
[05:34] <roadrock> Frijolie: sudo fdisk -l  the drive, see what the 15gb is labeled as.
[05:34] <MellowDude> when i install stuff in ad/remove it gives me this error every time E: timidity: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 E: exult: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
[05:34] <lepine> does it list anything when you mount it?
[05:34] <MellowDude> and i dont know why it does
[05:34] <MellowDude> i need it fixed
[05:35] <arvind_khadri> MellowDude, what did you remove the last time?? had you killed apt when it was running?
[05:35] <dolo> anyone know when the newest wine will be ready on ubuntu?
[05:35] <Barridus> roadrock or arvind_khadri. ok that mounted it, but software sources refuses to see the livecd iso
[05:35] <MellowDude> i havent removed nothing at all
[05:35] <Frijolie>    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
[05:35] <Frijolie> /dev/sdb1               1       38913   312568641   83  Linux
[05:35] <arvind_khadri> !latest > dolo
[05:35] <MellowDude> and no i havent kill any app while it was runing
[05:35] <arvind_khadri> !aptfix | MellowDude
[05:36] <Barridus> neither in the first pane under "installable from CD" or under "add cd" under "third party"
[05:36] <dolo> ?
[05:36] <kindofabuzz> Frijolie, how big is the hard drive, because when you format using a journaled file system, soem of the hard drive is used for the fs
[05:36] <Frijolie> roadrock, I was thinking that it may be a separate partition
[05:36] <roadrock> Barridus: ls /media/mountpoint  see anything
[05:36] <Frijolie> kindofabuzz, should be a 320GB
[05:36] <roadrock> Frijolie: i think so too, time for gparted imho.
[05:36] <kindofabuzz> like i have a 40G drive, but when formated with ext 3, like 350M are used up for the fs
[05:36] <Frijolie> and it mounts (as an icon on the desktop) 320.1 GB
[05:36] <MellowDude> i did that it keeps saying timidity is not configured yet
[05:37] <arvind_khadri> Barridus, why do you want to use the live-cd's repo
[05:37] <MellowDude> how do i config it
[05:37] <MellowDude> ?
[05:37] <Frijolie> roadrock, how do you do it from cli? I did it in gparted 30min ago
[05:37] <Barridus> roadrock, yeah the contents are shown.  i can also browse the contents through nautilus
[05:37] <arvind_khadri> sudo dpkg --reconfigure timidity
[05:37] <dolo> anyone here playing fallout 3?
[05:37] <kindofabuzz> fdisk or cfdisk
[05:38] <meoblast001> i cant take this anymore
[05:38] <MellowDude> dpkg: unknown option --reconfigure
[05:38] <meoblast001> i'm so pissed
[05:38] <kindofabuzz> meoblast001, what happened?
[05:38] <arvind_khadri> MellowDude, :S use a single -
[05:38] <MellowDude> ok
[05:38] <MellowDude> hold on
[05:38] <meoblast001> every fucking time i try to compile anope it makes ubuntu think the harddrive is full
[05:38] <PowerE_> Does anyone here use the "Monaco" font in linux, and if so do you have this problem: http://www.ubergeeked.com/monacoproblem.jpg
[05:38] <PowerE_> ?
[05:38] <arvind_khadri> !ohmy | meoblast001
[05:38] <kindofabuzz> meoblast001, maybe because it does get full?
[05:38] <MellowDude> dpkg: conflicting actions -e (--control) and -r (--remove)
[05:39] <hmw> meoblast001 - whatabout du
[05:39] <meoblast001> and my cronjob "@reboot supybot mgBot.conf" is being completely ignored
[05:39] <kindofabuzz> meoblast001, how much space you have before compiling?
[05:39] <Barridus> roadrock, however, the software sources thing is not fooled and does not treat it as a cd-rom
[05:39] <meoblast001> kindofabuzz: let me turn the thing back on
[05:39] <arvind_khadri> MellowDude, just hold on for a sec
[05:39] <roadrock> Frijolie: is this hdd empty? i would boot a gparted disk and redo the whole drive.
[05:39] <MellowDude> ok
[05:39] <meoblast001> kindofabuzz: i get my space back as soon as i shut the machine off
[05:40] <Frijolie> roadrock, yeah the drive is empty. I just ran gparted on it ~45min ago
[05:40] <roadrock> Barridus: what iso are you trying to use? software sources shouldn't be an issue really.
[05:40] <meoblast001> lovely
[05:40] <meoblast001> the PoS is trying to say the harddrive is full
[05:40] <arvind_khadri> MellowDude, am extremly sorry its sudo dpkg-reconfigure timidity
[05:40] <Frijolie> roadrock, was just looking to do a "quick format" but I think it ran a full format now I'm getting permission denied and the 15GB of space taken up thing
[05:40]  * arvind_khadri hits himself, i must know better
[05:40] <Barridus> roadrock, the ubuntu hardy livecd
[05:41] <MellowDude>  timidity is broken or not fully installed
[05:41] <meoblast001> i can't stand computers
[05:41] <MellowDude> it gives that error when i do tht
[05:41] <MellowDude> can i remove it and reinstall it
[05:41] <roadrock> Frijolie: then its probably just a factor of using the power of 1000 versus 1024 as one megabyte. its ok.
[05:41] <arvind_khadri> MellowDude, just hang on
[05:42] <Frijolie> roadrock, the math still doesn't add up
[05:42] <MellowDude> ok
[05:42] <arvind_khadri> MellowDude, sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get install timidity
[05:42] <Frijolie> roadrock, 258 + 15 != 320 even with the math that they're giving me
[05:42] <Deathserver> looking for easy irc terminal client any suggestions
[05:42] <Frijolie> does the drive have to be mounted before running gparted?
[05:43] <arvind_khadri> !poll | Deathserver
[05:43] <sammmmy1357> i just downloaded and installed a theme from gnome-look.org. it installed correctly but the appearence preference says gtk 2 engine is needed for this theme... where am i wrong ppl????
[05:43] <cuddlefish> Frijoile: It can nevar be mounted!
[05:43] <roadrock> Frijolie: i tend to agree with you. i always use a separate gparted boot disk for hdd preparation. it doesnt lie to me.
[05:43] <meoblast001> how do i install ubuntu without a monitor?
[05:43] <hmw> meoblast001 - your drive space was ok after reboot, and is "full" after an compile attempt?
[05:43] <cuddlefish> it has some evil side effects on mounted volues.
[05:43] <Frijolie> roadrock, so boot to a liveCD with gparted?
[05:44] <meoblast001> hmw: no now it's alwasy full
[05:44] <cuddlefish> F=Frijolie: Yeah
[05:44] <hmw> meoblast001 - so that cron job would free up the drive?
[05:44] <meoblast001> lol @ cronjobs
[05:44] <Frijolie> cuddlefish, why would that make a difference?
[05:44] <meoblast001> hmw: i can't even get "@reboot supybot mgBot.conf" to work
[05:44] <hmw> meoblast001 - maybe you should check file sys integrity
[05:45] <meoblast001> hmw: that's the simplist cronjob ever and it wont run
[05:45] <roadrock> Frijolie: ive never used a livecd and gparted, i d/l a gparted boot iso and burn and boot it, however i believe the livecd gparted program -can- do it.
[05:45] <meoblast001> hmw: maybe i should reinstall ubuntu
[05:45] <hmw> meoblast001 - this way you wouldnt find the error and take away the chance to learn. your call.
[05:45] <TehLaser> would anyone like to help a poor noob?
[05:45] <cuddlefish> because addressing a mounte FS in block device mode causes crashes and DATA LOSS
[05:45] <arvind_khadri> !ask | TehLaser
[05:45] <Joram> Anyone has a Dell XPS M1330n?
[05:45] <Frijolie> cuddlefish, roadrock, why would a boot/liveCD make a difference as opposed to doing it with my primary installed OS?
[05:45] <Daft_Punk> how can you get the text on the desktop icons, to be clearly visible with both light AND dark backgrounds?
[05:45] <arvind_khadri> MellowDude, ?
[05:46] <MellowDude> its saying its locked now
[05:46] <MellowDude> let me restart my pc and come back ok
[05:46] <cuddlefish> Frijole: It is just the fact that filesystems don't like to be modified while mounted.
[05:47] <Barridus> the livecd's gparted worked fine for me, i've used it a dozenish times
[05:47] <roadrock> Frijolie: when you boot a live cd it creates a temp filesystem on the drive you want to work on, as far as i know. = not a good thing.
[05:47] <Frijolie> roadrock, so maybe the 15GB is a "swap" file?
[05:47] <Frijolie> cuddlefish, I unmounted it before I ran gparted the first time
[05:48] <cuddlefish> rock: it is done in ram, with a ramdisk
[05:48] <roadrock> Frijolie: probably. what was the drive originally? new?
[05:48] <Frijolie> roadrock, brand spankin new
[05:48] <hmw> meoblast001 - i would be interested in finding out, what happened. did you find anything in the logs?
[05:48] <Barridus> gparted should say "linux-swap" if that was the case, wouldn't it?
[05:48] <PowerE_> Frijolie: du -hs /
[05:48] <Frijolie> roadrock, direct from the manufacturer. 1.20.09 stamped on the sticker
[05:48] <PowerE_> what does it say?
[05:48] <cuddlefish> pastebin it, of course.
[05:48] <meoblast001> hmw: no i shut it down.... i feel like killing someone about now
[05:49] <meoblast001> hmw: let's just say the past month of my life hasn't been going so well and this is not making it any better
[05:49] <kinja-sheep_> How do I remove the latest kernel? o.O
[05:49] <meoblast001> i don't play these games with my computers
[05:49] <hmw> meoblast001 - i see. i recommend formatting this ubuntu drive very, very slowly and enjoy watching.
[05:49] <unop> kinja-sheep, that's an unusual request ... why would you want to do that?
[05:49] <meoblast001> i don't even know where i'm going to put my backup files
[05:50] <meoblast001> my flash drive is outragously mangled
[05:50] <Frijolie> PowerE_, 128G
[05:50] <meoblast001> linux nor windows can even format it
[05:50] <hmw> meoblast001 - what??
[05:50] <quantumkenny> Running a Dell Inspiron E1505 that has (4) usb 2.0 ports - lsusb shows them as 1.1 - using ibex 8.10
[05:50] <arvind_khadri> minja-sheep, sudo apt-get remove it
[05:50] <roadrock> Frijolie: in gparted you see only one partition on this disk and no free space? i'm kinda lost
[05:50] <meoblast001> hmw: linux nor windows can format my mangled flash drive
[05:50] <arvind_khadri> minja-sheep, sudo apt-get remove <it>
[05:50] <cuddlefish> kinja-sheep: sudo apt-get remove "kernel-version", raping the kernel-version with the package
[05:51] <hmw> meoblast001 - uhm... wait... flash drive? server? 71GB???
[05:51] <cuddlefish> *replacing
[05:51] <meoblast001> hmw: the flash drive is 1 gig
[05:51] <hmw> meoblast001 - uhm... what flash drive?
[05:51] <meoblast001> hmm.. i think the washer might have formated my flash drive
[05:51] <meoblast001> :D
[05:52] <cobra-the-joker> Sylphid  , i did what you told me ....youtube videos still not operatable
[05:52] <leonel> hola
[05:52] <Frijolie> roadrock, ok, so when I run gparted and view the drive /dev/sdb it shows as one partition size = 298Gib used=4.86Gib and unused=293Gib
[05:52] <minja-sheep> cuddlefish arvind_khadri :  What do you mean?  I configured something and now the internet isn't working on the latest kernel so i went with the old kernel.  it's working.  so im trying to figure out how to remove the latest one... and well update/upgrade again?
[05:52] <cuddlefish> !flash > cobra-the-joker
[05:53] <PowerE_> 298 is your actual size
[05:53] <arvind_khadri> minja-sheep, you can use synaptic to remove the kernel you dont want to keep
[05:53] <PowerE_> thats the exact number you would get if you calculated your "actual size"
[05:54] <arvind_khadri> !synaptic > minja-sheep
[05:54] <Frijolie> roadrock, however, once it's mounted nautilus mounts it as /media/disk and the right-click > properties sees it as a "320.1GB media" with 15.1GB "used" and 278GB "free"
[05:54] <arvind_khadri> MellowDude, any progress?
[05:55] <Frijolie> PowerE_, yeah I get that much..that's due to the 1,000 vs 1,024 thing
[05:55] <MellowDude> hang on i uninxtalled it now reinstalling it
[05:55] <MellowDude> that fix it
[05:55] <MellowDude> uninstall then restart pc
[05:55] <MellowDude> then reinstalled it
[05:55] <roadrock> netsplit
[05:55] <arvind_khadri> MellowDude, oh ok..
[05:55] <pekalongan> zhae
[05:56] <MellowDude> do i even need that thing any ways
[05:56] <arvind_khadri> MellowDude, no idea
[05:56] <cuddlefish> whee, netsplit!

[05:58] <hmw> meoblast001 - maybe you should really find that large stuff for deleting it
[05:58] <PowerE_> Could someone look at this: http://www.ubergeeked.com/monacoproblem.jpg and tell me if they have seen this before with the monaco font?
[05:58] <quantumkenny> I see, I did ask when I entered

[06:00] <roadrock> coz_: anytime
[06:00] <shaft0> I'm having some issues with an mdadm array.  There are 5 disks in the array, sdb1-sdf1.  I rebooted the server and the array didn't automount.  I ran mdadm --assemble and it assembled, but it said it was assembled from 4 drives and 1 spare, which didn't make much sense.  Anyway, rebooted again, didn't mount.  Tried assemble again, and now it says assembled from 3 drives and 1 spare, and that it couldn't start the array.  All of the drives
[06:00] <shaft0>  show up in gparted, what gives?
[06:00] <unop> meoblast001, yes
[06:01] <meoblast001> unop: i'm hoping this thing is really writting to my flash drive
[06:01] <roadrock> quantumkenny: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB
[06:01] <Frijolie> how are permissions handled for devices that are mounted via HAL?
[06:01] <minja-sheep> cuddlefish: What's it I'm looking for in kernel? I can't find something like "2.6.27-11-generic" ?
[06:01] <dr_Willis> Frijolie,  i belive theres various hal config files that define them.
[06:02] <cuddlefish> linux-kernel-image or something like that, followed by version
[06:02] <roadrock> coz_: no i disable compix but it does work.
[06:02] <hmw> PowerE_ no idea. maybe the font is broken. did you already try to remove and reinastall it? does it happen with other fonts too? what do you see, when the font is not installed?
[06:02] <PowerE_> it's the actual font, I sure of this
[06:02] <Frijolie> dr_Willis, cause I can't write to an external USB hard drive which has been automounted. I'm getting "Permission Denied" error messages
[06:02] <PowerE_> but I can't find another one that works
[06:03] <PowerE_> It's a common enough font that most should have one that works
[06:03] <coz_> roadrock,  ok thanks   I have a fellow with a very short xorg.conf it just wasnt right  thanks again :)
[06:03] <PowerE_> but I haven't seen anyone else with the problem
[06:03] <roadrock> coz_:  ATI Technologies Inc RV380 0x3e50 [Radeon X600]  is mine
[06:03] <Kazimir> Hey, I have a question about audio
[06:03] <quantumkenny> roadrock: thanks, I'll check it out
[06:04] <Frijolie> !ask | Kazimir
[06:04] <Myst> Hello all, I am trying to limit internet access to a specific range of IP addresses and am wondering if there is a tutorial on how to do that... Right now i have an Ubuntu server v8.10 setup with DHCP3 DNS UFW allowing mail/web/ssh ports and Samba Fileserver
[06:04] <wers> how do i install notify-osd on intrepid? :D
[06:04] <dr_Willis> Frijolie,  if its ntfs/vfat filesystem - i belive you can insdtall/run the ntfs-config tool. and check a few check boxc's and then it will let users fully access the eternal media
[06:05] <Kazimir> I'm trying to get my USB headset to work with Ubuntu Studio, and when I click "test" next to it in Preference->Sound, it says "Could not open device for playback". How do I "open" it?
[06:05] <dr_Willis> Frijolie,  if its ext2/3 - then you must set the permissions/ownership - after its mounted
[06:05] <Frijolie> dr_Willis, na, it's ext3
[06:05] <dr_Willis> Frijolie,  same as if it was an internal disk
[06:05] <dr_Willis> Frijolie,  shareing ext2 Thumbdrives btween systems/disrtos can  be annoying due to this
[06:05] <Frijolie> dr_Willis, Nautilus says "permissions could not be determined"
[06:06] <dr_Willis> Frijolie,  use the shell.  Mount the thing,  then sudo chown Youruser.youruser /media/MOUNTPOINT
[06:06] <dr_Willis> You must chown it AFTER its mounted. :)
[06:06] <Frijolie> dr_Willis, and the chmod u+x /media/disk runs (no errors) and still get "Permission Denied"
[06:07] <Frijolie> dr_Willis, alright I'll try the ownership thing instead of permissions
[06:07] <dr_Willis> you may of just chmod'd the mount mouint.. BEFOR it was mounted.. that wont apply after its mounted.
[06:07] <Frijolie> dr_Willis, yeah its automagically mounted upon insertion
[06:08] <dr_Willis> Frijolie,   You may want to cd to the device. and as root chown/chmod the files/dirs on the device  not the 'root' of the device
[06:08] <Kazimir> So..can anyone help me?
[06:08] <hmw> dr_Willis - i think, the permissions of a dir before mounting something over it dont matter after the mount...?
[06:08] <arvind_khadri> !studio | Kazimir
[06:09] <cobra-the-joker> Hey guys ...How do i know my hardware profile
[06:09] <dr_Willis> hmw,  correct.. the permissions of the 'direcory' you are mounting to - dont matter.
[06:09] <hmw> dr_Willis - aah... i didnt read carefully enough...
[06:10] <mijrelax> what?
[06:10] <Gnea> cobra-the-joker: lshw

[06:14] <ookz> Can anyone help me really fast what is the search command for folders in the term
[06:14] <ubd> i would like to setup a ubuntu server on a usb drive on monitorless laptop, i would like to control the linux box from xp machine and use it to download torrents. which torrent client and 3rd party programs do i need?
[06:14] <hmw> mrono - try "sudo chmod 0777 /media/data"
[06:14] <arvind_k> ookz, ls
[06:14] <ookz> ty
[06:15] <arvind_k> ookz, ls will list the folders...
[06:15] <fhoif> what's the max file descriptor limit in Ubuntu 64bit ?????
[06:15] <meoblast001> i want to kill myself
[06:15] <arvind_k> ookz, you can use find too
[06:15] <mrono> /dev/sdb1       /media/data     ext2    rw,auto,uid=1000        0       0
[06:15] <fhoif> what's the max file descriptor limit in Ubuntu 64bit ?????
[06:15] <mrono> gives me a bad superblock error
[06:15] <mrono> where's the error in nit
[06:16] <Frijolie> what's the benefit from having HAL mount devices instead of the good 'ol trusty fstab?
[06:17] <hmw> mrono - what about my suggestion... did it work?
[06:17] <hmw> mrono - its meant to be done after manually mounting
[06:17] <fhoif> what's the max file descriptor limit in Ubuntu 64bit ?????
[06:17] <mrono> lemme see
[06:18] <Sylphid> !repeat | fhoif
[06:18] <Myst> Does anyone know how to have the DHCP server assign a specific IP address depending on your mac address?
[06:18] <fhoif> !answer | Sylphid
[06:18] <arvind_k> fhoif, lolzzz
[06:19] <fhoif> :P
[06:19] <arvind_k> fhoif, google about it :)
[06:19] <fhoif> did, no luck
[06:20] <unop> Myst,   hardware ethernet de:ad:be:ef:ca:fe;
[06:20] <roadrock> ookz: find path -name 'name'   e.g.  find /boot/ -name 'grub'
[06:20] <shaft0> anyone?
[06:20] <unop> Myst, have a look in your /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf
[06:20] <mrono> hmw: no luck
[06:21] <shaft0> I'm having some issues with an mdadm array.  There are 5 disks in the array, sdb1-sdf1.  I rebooted the server and the array didn't automount.  I ran mdadm --assemble and it assembled, but it said it was assembled from 4 drives and 1 spare, which didn't make much sense.  Anyway, rebooted again, didn't mount.  Tried assemble again, and now it says assembled from 3 drives and 1 spare, and that it couldn't start the array.  All of the drives
[06:21] <shaft0>  show up in gparted, why won't mdadm see them???
[06:21] <hmw> mrono - no error message when mounting, and root can still access it?
[06:21] <mrono> yeah
[06:21] <mrono> when i view permission in naut root is owner
[06:22] <hmw> mrono 0777 means access to anyone
[06:22] <hmw> mrono thats a little strange
[06:22] <mrono> and it doesn't change a thing
[06:22] <arvind_k> fhoif, ulimit has it
[06:22] <mrono> i chowned it
[06:22] <hmw> mrono you could also try sudp chown username:username /media/data
[06:22] <mrono> that worked
[06:22] <Myst> unop, im in the dhcpd.conf file, do i need to add a line in the range or...
[06:23] <mrono> hmw, what about this fstab line, why doesn't it work
[06:23] <mrono> /dev/sdb1       /media/data     ext2    rw,auto,uid=1000        0       0
[06:23] <hmw> mrono - okay... so we need to find out, how to make the fstab use the right owner... did you verify, that your user is uid 1000 ?
[06:23] <Sylphid> Myst, http://paste.ubuntu.com/121325/
[06:23] <mrono> hmw, i have not, i assumed since the user and system is fresh as of tonight
[06:23] <arvind_k> mrono, id -u
[06:23] <roadrock> fhoif: man getfdprm
[06:24] <Myst> sweet thx guys
[06:24] <hmw> mrono - pls try to determin that while i google for fstab stuff

[06:34] <frg22> I was wondering if there was perhaps a nautilus error log or any log that might report why it's not working :|

[06:42] <ericstewart> Droopsta915: You'll need to find an application that can convert that WMA to an ISO before you burn it. Or it won't play in most DVD players.
[06:43] <kalvin_> i dont know if anyone would know this..but is there a program that will let me stream music from my computer to a windows mobile phone?
[06:44] <acfrazier> arvind_khadri: if you mean in the volume control it says Playback: ALSA PCM on front:0
[06:45] <acfrazier> arvind_khadri: Will I need to reboot for this to take effect?
[06:47] <CarbOon> Hii Rooom
[06:47] <CarbOon> Help me in Enabeling CGI / perl script from Apache in Ubuntu..................
[06:47] <Droopsta915> Does ubuntu have a program to convert files to iso?
[06:47] <CarbOon> i hav configured all thngs but dont know what is prob its not executing.. :(
[06:49] <CarbOon> any body know .. how to enable CGI script in apache ?
[06:50] <blahbleh> haven't done anything like it myself, but have you tried http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/cgi.html ?
[06:50] <Mrono> I need to play WMA files, how do i do that
[06:51] <NFischer> Mrono, you could install vlc player
[06:51] <Mrono> what about amarok
[06:51] <CarbOon> thanks i read it
[06:51] <NFischer> Mrono, it deals with wma files
[06:51] <abra> Mrono, use Media::Player :)
[06:52] <blahbleh> hello ubntuers :) is there any reason why detection of a USB just plugged in could be slow? I'm using pam-usb to authenticate, so it'd be nice if it was fast, but it takes a few seconds for it to realise I've plugged in a USB. is there some HAL polling option i can change or something?
[06:52] <hmw> !codecs | mrono
[06:52] <Mrono> hmw, thanks
[06:52] <onats> is there a sun/open office channel?
[06:53] <click170> How do you get the main menubar in gnome to go from the right side of the screen back to the top?  What the fuck are you supposd to grab onto?
[06:53] <acfrazier> Gah, no dice. Switched to ALSA, volume still low even at 100%, plugin headset and no volume from it
[06:53] <hmw> click170 - its tricky but doable... keep trying to find a place. close programs, if you can
[06:54] <blahbleh> click170: one way is to right click RIGHT on the edge of the panel, and go into panel properties, otherwise close programs as hmw said, or delete an applet and put it back later
[06:58] <Mrono> wjat
[06:58] <Mrono> what's the best way to rip dvd's into .avi files
[07:00] <blahbleh> seeing as no-one's replying, mrono: http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2008/10/07/how-to-rip-a-dvd-in-ubuntu-to-avi-the-easy-way/ or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DVD::Rip perhaps? i don't know myself, though
[07:01] <hmw> mrono - there is no best way of doing things, because it relates to your taste. i like mencoder the most.
[07:01] <ianm_> is it possible to apt-get older versions of a package?  to see a list of versions with release dates?
[07:01] <kindofabuzz> is it possible to turn off visuals in the totem firefox plugin?
[07:01] <Mrono> alright i'll check it out
[07:01] <owen1> any lightweight browser that support JS and flash and is not FF?
[07:02] <kindofabuzz> ff rules
[07:02] <arghh2d2> owen1: not free
[07:02] <hmw> owen1 - hmm... not sure, but maybe konqueror
[07:02] <kindofabuzz> midora?
[07:02] <owen1> if not exist, only JS support will be tolerable as well.
[07:02] <kindofabuzz> or whatever it's called
[07:02] <arghh2d2> opera
[07:02] <kindofabuzz> opera is not lightweight
[07:02] <ianm_> owen1: http://projects.gnome.org/epiphany/
[07:03] <kindofabuzz> lynx
[07:03] <hmw> owen1 - konqueror has JS for sure. go to synaptics and examine the internet section to see more browsers.
[07:03] <kindofabuzz> =)
[07:03] <hmw> kindofabuzz - lynx has no JS
[07:03] <kindofabuzz> hmw, it was a joke
[07:03] <Droopsta915> mrono:I'm playin a  wma movie right now using vlc media player
[07:03] <hmw> kindofabuzz - sure, but it would be real lightweight *g*
[07:03] <kindofabuzz> is it possible to turn off visuals in the totem firefox plugin?
[07:03] <arghh2d2>  ya not gonna find much in the way of "lightweight" playin flash.
[07:04] <kindofabuzz> flash is heavy as you can get
[07:04] <owen1> hmw: i know of epiphany and dillo . not sure about JS.
[07:04] <hmw> kindofabuzz - be very cautious making jokes here. newbies might take you seriously
[07:04] <kindofabuzz> hmw, true dat
[07:05] <Daft_Punk> i try playing secondlife on my laptop on linux and it is very slow, is it the beta client or is it linux, or is it my comp?
[07:05] <Mrono> hmw, how do you rip it with mencoder, i installed mplayer, is it in the documentation?
[07:07] <blahbleh> Daft_Punk: to see if it's your comp, i guess you could compare it to: http://secondlife.com/support/sysreqs.php ?
[07:08] <Daft_Punk> blahbleh, i have at least double those specs
[07:08] <Daft_Punk> blahbleh, actually i have the recommended specs for vid card and ram, proc is better
[07:08] <arghh2d2> great, now go break something
[07:09] <acfrazier> hey um
[07:10] <acfrazier> I have a new problem, I changed sound to ALSA so my sound wouldn't be so low at 100%, this is now fixed. A new problem cropped up and the 2nd one isn't resolved. The new problem is when I turn the volume down it turns off the volume way before it reaches the bottom of the meter. The 2nd problem was plugging in a headset doesn't work, you can't hear anything.
[07:11] <blahbleh> Daft_Punk: perhaps the second life support might be of more help? http://secondlife.com/support/
[07:11] <Daft_Punk> k thx
[07:11] <namasamaran> arni
[07:11] <acfrazier> So does anyone know how I can resolve this problem?
[07:12] <tiger_90__> my sound just quit. what do I do?
[07:13] <r00tb33r> Can anyone help me with my acer aspire one?
[07:13] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne r00tb33r
[07:15] <tiger_90__> my sound quit? how do I fix it?
[07:15] <r00tb33r> Thanks bazhang I have been to that site and done what they said but it never fixed my problem
[07:15] <hmw> tiger_90__ you are looking for a way to restart your sound server, but i cant tell you how. google might know the answer.
[07:16] <mib_3e77pl> hello, my laptop (compaq r3000) does not seem to come out of standby when running ubuntu 8.04, it just stays at a black screen
[07:16] <acfrazier> Mine doesn't go into standby at all, I just get a blinking _ when I press Fn + Sleep
[07:17] <mib_3e77pl> oh
[07:17] <tiger_90__> hmw, it quit after the latest update for 8.10
[07:18] <iCondoulo> how would I start GDM in low graphics mode?
[07:18] <ianm_> how can I use an older version of my video driver (intel)?
[07:18] <mib_3e77pl> iCondoulo: do you mean use the vesa xorg driver
[07:19] <iCondoulo> yeah. So I can get in, install Ubuntu, etc, etc. because Ubuntu wants to use a resolution/refresh rate my monitor doesn't support
[07:19] <hmw> tiger_90__ as a last resort, reboot will repair your sound usually. better google and learn how to restart it via terminal
[07:19] <mib_3e77pl> iCondoulo: are you booting from the live cd
[07:19] <Peddy> When I select my Windows installation from the GRUB menu, I get the error "A Disk Read Error Occured, press ctrl-alt-delete to restart". Windows is on a different hard drive, and when I set it to boot from the windows-hdd in the BIOS, it boots fine. Could someone please help me get this working?
[07:19] <iCondoulo> mib_3e77pl, yeah. I'm currently in a command line.
[07:19] <acfrazier> I have a new problem, I changed sound to ALSA so my sound wouldn't be so low at 100%, this is now fixed. A new problem cropped up and the 2nd one isn't resolved. The new problem is when I turn the volume down it turns off the volume way before it reaches the bottom of the meter. The 2nd problem was plugging in a headset doesn't work, you can't hear anything.
[07:20] <mib_3e77pl> ok, well if you put in your cd, i think one of the F keys lets you specify the low graphics modes
[07:20] <kurrata> Peddy:  is your windows on master or slave disk?
[07:20] <mib_3e77pl> i think its F4 or F5
[07:20] <Peddy> kurrata, they're both SATA.
[07:20] <acfrazier> Peddy: Are you by chance the same Peddy from #itouch?
[07:20] <Peddy> acfrazier, why yes I am.
[07:20] <Peddy> :P
[07:21] <acfrazier> :P
[07:21] <tiger_90__> hmw, ive rebooted a couple of times and it still wont work.
[07:21] <mib_3e77pl> iCondoulo: press the F5 or F4 key after you enter the language
[07:21] <arvind_khadri> acfrazier, didnt the blog help?
[07:21] <hmw> tiger_90__ oh, thats a different problem then. but i dont know about sound, so i cant help really. sorry. maybe someone else here can help you.
[07:21] <Peddy> I've done both an mbrfix on the Windows partition, done a fs check from withing the Windows recovery thing, and done fixboot.
[07:22] <acfrazier> arvind_khadri: It resolved the issue of the sound being too low, but when I go to turn it down about 2/3 of the way down the sound is muted completely when it shouldn't be. Also plugging in a headset generates no sound.
[07:22] <tiger_90__> hmw, thanks for your help though!
[07:22] <arvind_khadri> acfrazier, type alsamixer and check the levels for the mic...
[07:22] <Ascavasaion> HOw do I check what release of Ubuntu I am running?
[07:23] <arvind_khadri> Ascavasaion, lsb_release -a
[07:23] <acfrazier> arvind_khadri: Master is 82%, PCM 100%, front 100% I see no entry for "Mic"
[07:23] <tiger_90__> arvind_khadri, I am using headphones and I get no sound either.
[07:23] <Ascavasaion> arvind_khadri: Thank you... I am running Hardy... is that correct?
[07:24] <arvind_khadri> Ascavasaion, you would get to know that from the command i gave
[07:24] <arvind_khadri> acfrazier, go to sounds and check whether you have an entry for mic.
[07:24] <Ascavasaion> arvind_khadri: I got it from that command you gave.  Is it the current version?
[07:25] <arvind_khadri> tiger_90__, first check the levels in alsamixer. and see whether you have plugged the jack correctly or not
[07:25] <acfrazier> arvind_khadri: No, there is not. Not under any of the 3 things in the dropdown menu either.
[07:25] <arvind_khadri> Ascavasaion, its the current LTS release ..the latest stable release is ibex...
[07:26] <Ascavasaion> arvind_khadri: And how do I upgrade to ibex?
[07:26] <arvind_khadri> acfrazier, change the default mixer to alsa...
[07:26] <kurrata> Peddy:  you boot from ubuntu or windows hard drive when you trun on pc?
[07:26] <Ascavasaion> arvind_khadri: Or is Hardy the latest?
[07:26] <tiger_90__> arvind_khadri, everything is plugged in correctly. it just quit without me even messing with the sound.
[07:27] <acfrazier> arvind_khadri: Still dead in the water. No sound from headphones, there's no entry for Mic either in Sounds nor Alsamixer.\
[07:27] <blahbleh> Ascavasaion: to do a distro upgrade, you can run "sudo do-release-upgrade" in a terminal. intrepid ibex (8.10) is the latest
[07:27] <meoblast001> how do i make ubuntu avoid broken sections of my ram?
[07:27] <Mrono> how do i get a init.d script to auto start
[07:28] <Gumby> Does anyone here know why I can not adjust the size of the "Name" column in Nautilus to be smaller?  I can make it larger but not smaller
[07:28] <Ascavasaion> arvind_khadri: Thank you so much.
[07:28] <Ascavasaion> arvind_khadri: I get a "no new release found" message.
[07:30] <arvind_khadri> Ascavasaion, you can update to ibex if you like
[07:30] <acfrazier> arvind_khadri: There isn't an entry in Sounds for Mic
[07:31] <acfrazier> arvind_khadri: I'm using just headphones, sound is my primary concern
[07:32] <arvind_khadri> acfrazier, check the levels of your mic
[07:32] <arvind_khadri> acfrazier, using the hardware
[07:32] <Peddy> I accidentally deleted a partition table, now a disk shows as unallocated space... Is this reversable/recoverable?
[07:33] <Gumby> Peddy, what filesystem?
[07:33] <Peddy> Gumby, NTFS
[07:34] <aboSamoor> Hi, every time I start pidgin it uses the same status message ! how can I change that ?
[07:34] <acfrazier> arvind_khadri: Where?
[07:35] <Gumby> aboSamoor, prefs->status/idle->status at startup
[07:37] <quibbler> aboSamoor: right click on icon choose change status then new
[07:38] <Peddyt> Gumby, hehe, testdisk seems to have re-made the partition table, trying it out.
[07:38] <aboSamoor> Gumby, Thanks it works :)
[07:38] <Firerouge> Is it possiable to download the development copy of ubuntu 9.04
[07:39] <acfrazier> theres an ubuntu 9.04?!?!
[07:39] <arghh2d2> Firerouge: yeah, the current stable release
[07:39] <kurrata> Firerouge:  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/
[07:40] <arghh2d2> "stable"
[07:40] <Firerouge> Thanks for the link
[07:40] <arghh2d2> lemmings
[07:40] <indos> semarang
[07:41] <acfrazier> What's the name of the commandline download tool?
[07:41] <kurrata> acfrazier:  wget
[07:41] <arghh2d2> acfrazier: apt
[07:41] <Firerouge> 211
[07:41] <arghh2d2> wget
[07:42] <lianimator> is there any editor in Ubuntu that allows you to copy text as RTF?
[07:42] <ThomasWaldmann> Warning: This image is oversized (which is a bug) and will not fit onto a standard 700MB CD. However, you may still test it using a DVD, a USB drive, or a virtual machine.
[07:42] <ThomasWaldmann> hah!
[07:42] <acfrazier> Is http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/jaunty-alternate-i386.iso < a livecd as well?
[07:42]  * ThomasWaldmann had strange I/O errors with 8.10 alt install cd, likely same problem
[07:43] <mstksg> can i cancel a package download/installation
[07:43] <mstksg> from the command line?
[07:43] <kurrata> mstksg:  ctr+c or z
[07:43] <mstksg> i figured. but i was afraid it'd damage something
[07:43] <Dracie> kurrata, not ctrl z
[07:43] <mstksg> would apt-get remove fix it?
[07:43] <mstksg> thanks, Dracie.
[07:43] <Dracie> mstksg, control c sends the end signal to a process
[07:43] <Dracie> control z just suspends it in the background
[07:44] <mstksg> thanks
[07:44] <Dracie> i made the same mistake a year ago too
[07:44] <arghh2d2> what if he's using synaptic! shit yall are some sorry assed tech support
[07:44] <acfrazier> rofl
[07:44] <mstksg> i'm not using synaptic from command line.
[07:44] <blahbleh> i don't know about anyone else, but i've had problems cancelling things when they're installing (not when they're downloading, but when it's actually installing the program)... i normally try to cancel before it starts installing
[07:44] <mstksg> can i apt-get remove the half-downloaded/half-installed packages and fix everything? or will they just go away by themselves
[07:45] <acfrazier> apt-get clean
[07:45] <acfrazier> should do the trick
[07:45] <mstksg> thanks
[07:45] <n2diy> I'm cloning this box to some newer hardware, so far I've moved my /home directory, but that didn't bring my apps, with it, what else should I copy to the target box?
[07:46] <arghh2d2> mstksg: they should go away, but this is ubuntu after all
[07:46] <mstksg> is there a force-quit escape sequence?
[07:46] <mstksg> just for future reference
[07:47] <n2diy> mstksg: ctrl+c or ctrl+z
[07:47] <mstksg> ctrl+c just sends an end signal; ctrl+x suspends it
[07:47] <mstksg> *ctrl+z
[07:47] <hmw> n2diy - boot from live cd, mount the drives and cp the whole / structure
[07:47] <mstksg> er, i'll just keep on opening a new screen and running htop.
[07:48] <hmw> n2diy - read the man page of cp for furter info about neccesary switches (permissions) - i think its "-a"
[07:48] <arghh2d2> mstksg: there's also: killall whatever
[07:48] <kurrata> mstksg:  ctr+alt+backspace kills all grapish stuff
[07:49] <boot_loop> sup folks
[07:49] <mstksg> thanks, all
[07:49] <n2diy> hmw: roger that, I was hoping for something less drastic. :)
[07:50] <cooldduuudde> guys i got a prob running google earth
[07:50] <cooldduuudde>   p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }  Could not create directory:
[07:50] <cooldduuudde> /root/.googleearth/Cache
[07:50] <cooldduuudde> any ideas?
[07:50] <DIFH-iceroot> cooldduuudde: why running that as root?
[07:50] <cooldduuudde> I'm not
[07:50] <hmw> cooldduuudde - dont login as root. some apps dont work when logged in as root
[07:50] <cooldduuudde> I'm running it as a normal user
[07:50] <acfrazier> Is there a way to fix the problem of no sound with a headser
[07:50] <acfrazier> set*
[07:50] <mstksg> so i'm booting ubuntu from my flash drive.  1.5 of that is reserved for actual files, as a portable file bank.  my suspicions are confirmed, and i can't access those files while running ubuntu.  any ideas/solutions?
[07:50] <hmw> cooldduuudde - /root is the home dir of the root user
[07:51] <DIFH-iceroot> cooldduuudde: cant be, because a normal user can not create content on /root/
[07:51] <arghh2d2> gotta love an operating system with a command as basic as "killall"
[07:51] <dr_Willis> acfrazier,  i would say cjheck the forums. and find out your exact sound card chipset.  ive seen others in here ask about that. but never seen a definitive answer on it.
[07:51] <ecoasian> I
[07:51] <cooldduuudde> yeah. so can i make some config changes after wich it will make that directory home or sumthing, that can be accessed by a normal user?
[07:52] <PanjiHitam> hiiiiii
[07:52] <mstksg> sup
[07:52] <NFischer> PanjiHitam, Ointment?
[07:52] <ecoasian> where can i find help with file permissions on external drives
[07:52] <Gnea>         
[07:52] <Besogon> HI! Well, I have installed gnome and xfce. After that main menu in xfce big knot. What can I doing with that?
[07:52] <cooldduuudde> im waiting for an answer guys
[07:53] <acfrazier> dr_Willis: are there people on the orum at this hour?
[07:53] <Gnea> bah, wrong key
[07:53] <Besogon> And what for have I ~/.cache/xfce4 in my home dir?
[07:53] <Gnea> !patience | cooldduuudde
[07:53] <hmw> ecoasian - external drives should work normally regarding perms. maybe its not ext3 but ntfs?
[07:53] <dr_Willis> acfrazier,  the forums are not 'irc' chat. :) itsmessage boards. Its very very  likely that your question has been asked on the forums befor.. and proberly answered..
[07:54] <cooldduuudde> sry i didn't mean to sound impolite
[07:54] <ecoasian> hmw, latest updates have removed all of the file permissions. Can read but no write. Previously I could.
[07:54] <mstksg> it's chill.
[07:54] <Dracie> ecoasian, what file?
[07:54] <Gnea> cooldduuudde: as long as the directory and permissions are set right on it, you can change it in the /etc/passwd file
[07:54] <hmw> ecoasian - ic. i have no idea what could have happened. maybe you want to look into the way, how it is mounted. fstab maybe? hmm.
[07:55] <Dracie> !lol
[07:55] <cooldduuudde> hmmm..lemme try dat, gnea
[07:55] <hmw> gnea cooldduuudde - better not. find out, why google earth runs as root
[07:55] <ecoasian> I cannot write any file to the USB harddrive. Was fine before updates.
[07:55] <NFischer> ubottu, easy man
[07:55] <Gnea> hmw: pardon?
[07:56] <ecoasian> Dracie: I could write to USB drive before updates.
[07:56] <Gnea> cooldduuudde: although, I'm not sure what purpose it would serve, other than potentially messing up your system
[07:57] <hmw> gnea - his program tries to use /root as home dir. this seems not to be intentionally, cooldude said, he didnt log in as root. well.. maybe he has and didnt notice somehow or there is another reason, why google earth wants to write to /root. so changing permissions would not solve the real problem and probably introduce new ones.
[07:57] <Gnea> hmw: probably due to sudo
[07:57] <hmw> gneat cooldduuudde - sudo might be the reason. did you start g-earth with sudo?
[07:57] <cooldduuudde> nope
[07:58] <Dracie> ecoasian, you need to change the ownership of it probably sudo chown username:username /media/jumpdrive
[07:58] <hmw> cooldduuudde - enter "whoami" in a terminal to determine, as what user you are logged on
[07:58] <Gnea> cooldduuudde: then forget my suggestion, the error you recieved was correct.
[07:58] <x_O> deathly pissed
[07:58] <Gnea> x_O: because?
[07:58] <cooldduuudde> I'm not able 2 run it as root as well
[07:59] <mstksg> poor guy
[07:59] <mstksg> he was a pretty cool dude, too.
[07:59] <dapper> hello can I need some help here
[07:59] <Gnea> !ask | dapper
[07:59] <x_O> number one because my sisters white trash girlfriedn drank half a gallon of my milk which was for ME and MY cereal
[07:59] <x_O> secondly
[07:59] <ecoasian> Both terms and thunar show it as belonging to all users for read/write.
[07:59] <x_O> i try to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10
[07:59] <x_O> and nvidia RAPES my computer around
[07:59] <x_O> saying it doesnt have any compatible drivers
[08:00] <Gnea> ...
[08:00] <kurrata> ecoasian:  tried writing as root?
[08:00] <ecoasian> kurrata: Yes, sure did
[08:00]  * Gnea never knew that nvidia had the physical capability to 'rape'
[08:00] <x_O> well it does
[08:00] <Gnea> got a picture?
[08:00] <dapper> I want to uninstall squid proxy from my server how can I do that??
[08:00] <dapper> I want to uninstall squid proxy from my server how can I do that??
[08:01] <Gnea> x_O: I mean, we can solve the nvidia issue... but crying over spilled milk won't get you anywhere.
[08:01] <dapper> helllo
[08:01] <dapper> ??
[08:01] <Gnea> !repeat | dapper
[08:01] <mstksg> gnea: sudo nvidia rape now
[08:01] <Gnea> lol

[08:07] <rohan> i am using (k)ubuntu 8.04. somehow from a few days my splash on bootup ends prematurely, and i am presented with the init messages. when the messaged "Reading files needed to boot" appears, splash screen dies. how do i prevent that from happening?
[08:07] <endboss> My external drive is no longer detected and mounted correctly, i think the power went off today, dmesg log - > http://pastebin.com/m18f1c130 any help?
[08:07] <nmlinuz> hello. Is anyone working with p45, ich10 chipsets?? i want to buy a motherboard with this chipsets. Are these supported???
[08:08] <endboss> default 7.10 2.6.22-16-generic
[08:08] <lcukx41> nmlinuz: i find chipset searches better with google - people give nice walkthroughs of the troubles they had
[08:09] <nmlinuz> lcukx41: i searched at google but i didn't find any final result :\
[08:09] <quibbler> nmlinuz: look here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com//HardwareSupport
[08:09] <lcukx41> heh likewise, try using the motherboard model or machine model
[08:09] <Gnea> lcukx41: never heard of gnome/metacity doing that before... what version of ubuntu is that?
[08:10] <lcukx41> err latest, the closest i read was that when 3d drivers go on they alter the setting, but i havent got that driver on any more
[08:10] <lcukx41> theres no mention of the setting being user configurable..
[08:11] <hmw> lcukx41 gnea - maybe its some compiz setting? i am checking mine now
[08:11] <lcukx41> 8.10 ibex
[08:11] <lcukx41> it drives me potty everytime i open this laptop
[08:12] <Gnea> hmw: doubt it, compiz only controls how the graphics on the screen are displayed, not now the windows react

[08:12] <prabuddha> can anyone help me turn on my wireless?
[08:12] <themusic1od1> io

[08:13] <acfrazier> anyone know how to kill a wine process, I just accidentally ran a virus in wine
[08:13] <acfrazier> <.<
[08:13] <kalvin_> hi can someone help, i installed a program called edna that streams music, but i can only do it within my network, how can i set it to stream using any connection?
[08:14] <endboss> port forwarding on router set?
[08:14] <Incarus> acfrazier, "ps -u username"
[08:14] <kurrata> acfrazier:  ps -x find wine processes and then kill
[08:14] <unop> acfrazier, killall wine
[08:14] <Incarus> acfrazier, if you can't kill it: "kill -s KILL process"
[08:15] <hmw> lcukx41 maybe this brings you further in your investigation: Unfortunately Gnome doesn't manage the state of windows at all. It has to do with the back end being metacity. However, there is hope. There's a program called devils pie that is supposed to allow you to accomplish the kind of window management that you're looking for in Gnome. Just search for devils pie on Google and it comes up at the first result.
[08:15] <acfrazier> It doesn't appear to be running anymore, Wine crashed because it didn't emulate it right probably
[08:16] <lcukx41> thanks hmw, ill have a look now
[08:16] <hmw> lcukx41 - that was a response to someone actually WANTING the minimized start
[08:16] <lcukx41> heh i keep missing things and know its not normal behaviour, ive been in and out of every dialog in the system hunting for the ellusive tick!

[08:23] <taz_white95> has any one had any problem is pidgin on Ubunut 8.10
[08:24] <lcukx41> hmw, meaning the guy fixed his problem by deleting all his settings.  looking at devilspie it looks like a band aid, if nothing else ill check there, but its likely some hidden registry setting.  ill spend a while browsing the tree.  thanks for tips
[08:24] <Incarus> dayo2, do you use the adobe's flash player?
[08:24] <dayo2> Incarus: yes i do
[08:24] <Incarus> dayo2, do the other apps work?

I am trying to only allow internet for specific IPs
[08:27] <lcukx41> hmw, the only non standard thing ive done was switched appearance/visual effects on, saw the wobbly windows for a bit, then turned it all off cos it was wasteful
[08:27] <dayo2> Myst: Firehol
[08:28] <dayo2> Myst: it's in the repo. also: http://firehol.sourceforge.net/

[08:32] <Cybix> I use Ubuntu 8.10 and I would like to be able to run my current windows partition as a virtual machine (i'd prefer qemu). Is there a way to make an image file for qemu from that partition? When i google I can't find anything about this.

[08:48] <Fudged_that_up> Hi guys! I have a problem that might be easier to solve by re-installing. I just installed and the drive i have is 1tb but it's only partitioned to use 4.6gb - clearly this is not right - qtparted gives me an error - "Error: File system was not cleanly unmounted! You should run e2fsck. Modifying an unclean file system could cause severe corruption." whats the cure?
[08:48] <felixsulla> Is Opera available in synaptic? If so, what do you search for?
[08:49] <Incarus> Fudged_that_up,  have you parted with ext3?
[08:49] <Incarus> felixsulla, no at opera.com
[08:49] <kurrata> Fudged_that_up:  run e2fsck?
[08:49] <Fudged_that_up> it should be, and tried that i had error too, i'll see what it says this time
[08:49] <quibbler> felixsulla: http://www.opera.com/download/
[08:49] <Incarus> http://www.opera.com/browser/download/
[08:49] <chu_> He's on the partition though, how would he unmount it?
[08:50] <ReAn> Is there any docs availiable about ubuntu's init scripts? im trying to re-write one and i can't find some functions referenced... there a doc page?
[08:50] <Incarus> Fudged_that_up,what filesystem you've got, ext3?
[08:50] <shabgard> any thing else that response for me?
[08:50] <Fudged_that_up> I get thge error: device or resorce busy......
[08:50] <shabgard> yooohooo
[08:50] <Incarus> i think you need ext4 for 1tb, Fudged_that_up
[08:50] <Fudged_that_up> partitioned with ext3
[08:51] <shabgard> ahoo
[08:51] <Fudged_that_up> !oh!

[08:52] <shabgard> anything else help for me?
[08:52] <Incarus> naranco, do you use firefox?
[08:52] <hmw> Incarus - uhm... maybe i have it due to some extra repositories...

[09:02] <shabgard> I'm sorry...i don't interesting thoes...thoes are diffrent for me...:::(((
[09:02] <badyto> nope, no error, just black screen
[09:02] <Incarus> badyto, try "sudo xinit"
[09:02] <hmw> !ask | fixius
[09:02] <badyto> but where to type this? my screen is off
[09:02] <Incarus> badyto, first control+alt+f1
[09:02] <homeskill> where should i set system wide environment variables, /etc/profile?
[09:02] <shabgard> I don't know
[09:03] <badyto> ok, im going to try the "sudo xinit" :) thanx
[09:03] <Incarus> homeskill, i think with "set"
[09:03] <chu_> Fudged_that_up - you may find this (http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome) interesting.
[09:04] <fixius> alright when i connect to a ssh server on a remote network using the ssh vpn tutorial from ubuntu i get tunnel device open failed could not request tunnel forwarding and yes i did use sudo
[09:04] <Fudged_that_up> I did a default install telling it to use the whole disk. it says there is no space left it says it's formated to 4.6gb
[09:04] <Incarus> fixius, firewall is active
[09:05] <fixius> Incarus, yes there are two nat firewalls in between there however it has worked in the past
[09:05] <Incarus> Fudged_that_up, yeah, i think 1tb is to big for ext3
[09:05] <Incarus> fixius,k, don't know
[09:05] <Fudged_that_up> I did a default install telling it to use the whole disk. it says there is no space left it says it's formated to 4.6gb!!!!!
[09:06] <chu_> Well, he did say 1tb is too big for ext3. You probably installed with ext3?
[09:06] <w0lfkin> w
[09:06] <Incarus> try another file system, fixius
[09:06] <chu_> Being a default install...
[09:06] <Incarus> ups, wrong name
[09:06] <Fudged_that_up> ook ta. i have used a seperate home drive with my opensuse instal but didn't get on with opensuse
[09:07] <shabgard> i coudn't join with SERVER LDAP
[09:07] <fixius> Incarus, kk
[09:07] <Incarus> fixius, no, my mistake
[09:07] <Fudged_that_up> sorry messages for one window appeared in the wrong window (here)
[09:09] <olavimmanuel> Hello. Any one know a good free DNS service?
[09:09] <Incarus> olavimmanuel, opendns.com
[09:10] <olavimmanuel> Incarus: Thanks :D
[09:10] <Incarus> np
[09:14] <badyto> hi! i still cant start my live cd :(
[09:14] <badyto> the window manager is just not working or something
[09:14] <hmw> !details | badyto
[09:14] <Incarus> thx, hmw
[09:15] <badyto> i tryed the "sudo xinit" like you advised but nothing happened.
[09:15] <badyto> ok the full problem
[09:15] <hmw> badyto - i would like to hear about your hardware
[09:15] <badyto> i start the live cd, the loading screen is ok, but then my monitor shuts off
[09:15] <aolko> people,tell me program in rep. for DESKTOP recording
[09:15] <hmw> badyto - nvidia?
[09:16] <hmw> badyto - i mean nvidia on a notebook?
[09:16] <badyto> im hearing the start sound though... i have 22" monitor and ati hd 3850 pci-e card
[09:16] <Incarus> badyto, try these commands: "sudo killall kdm" + "X" and "kdm" and "sudo xinit"
[09:16] <aolko> . . .
[09:16] <badyto> with the "+" ?
[09:16] <hmw> badyto - is your graphics adapter dualhead?
[09:16] <Incarus> no
[09:17] <badyto> whats a dual head? its a standard mainstream gpu
[09:17] <badyto> vga...
[09:17] <lcukx41> aolko: ive used vnc2swf in the past
[09:17] <hmw> badyto - does it have 2 connectors for monitors?
[09:17] <badyto> yes it has...
[09:17] <badyto> you thing that...
[09:17] <badyto> noo
[09:17] <hmw> badyto - can you try
[09:18] <badyto> ok i will go ahead and try the other plug
[09:18] <hmw> :-)
[09:18] <badyto> but why doesnt this work like on win?
[09:18] <aolko> and how about "fresh" programs?
[09:19] <badyto> thanx though... i will go try this now
[09:19] <Incarus> badyto, because linux got his own drivers
[09:20] <Incarus> aolko, ?
[09:20] <bullgard4> Does the directory /tmp have a special role in Linux or Ubuntu? Where can I find a description about that role?
[09:21] <hmw> Incarus - more like gou vendors want to hide the fact, that they often sell drivers, that dont provide full functionality. you shall buy the more expensive "version of the card" which is in fact the same chip with drivers that activate more features. thats why we have problems with opensource gpu drivers - nobody knows how to program them
[09:21] <aolko> i asked about new progs
[09:21] <Incarus> for what?
[09:21] <aolko> with graphical UI
[09:21] <Incarus> bullgard4, yes
[09:22] <aolko> look like snagit e.t.c.
[09:22] <Incarus> aolko, a firewall?
[09:22] <aolko> no
[09:22] <aolko> screen  reconrding
[09:22] <aolko> video recording
[09:22] <rvn> i need a way to either play a sound every time a key is pressed, or else run a command every time a key is pressed
[09:22] <rvn> ideas?
[09:23] <bullgard4> Incarus: I asked " Where can I find a description about that role?" and you are answering: "Yes".
[09:23] <diuneigh> hello incarus: I typed sudo xinit but I got a series of errors.
[09:23] <Incarus> diuneigh, cant help you without the errors
[09:24] <diuneigh> ok.. just a moment
[09:24] <hmw> diuneigh - you could also pastebin Xorg.1.log
[09:24] <Incarus> bullgard4, no, you said "Does the directory /tmp have a special role in Linux or Ubuntu?", and i said yes. i dont know the second
[09:24] <bullgard4> Incarus: Thank you very much.
[09:25] <Incarus> bullgard4, e.g. if you play a video in youtube it will save it in the /tmp directory
[09:25] <aolko> and....
[09:25] <aolko> how use Darwin?
[09:25] <Incarus> bullgard4, a couple of apps use the dir
[09:25] <M1DLG> (was fudged that up) I have found the cause of my problems! I am running livedisk and GParted. The drive is showing 925gb corrupted filesystem (about the same size as was used before i told it to format all!) then i have 7.8mb swapspace then ext3 of 5.3 followed by another 298mb of swap space, if i have 2 swap spoaces i assume it's safe  to remove one of them
[09:26] <Incarus> aolko, you mean the darwin kernel?
[09:26] <badyto> im back again... nothing doesnt work, im thinking about giving up on linux, whats the point when i cant even start the freakin liveCD... i cant imagine fixing a real issue...
[09:26] <rww> bullgard4: http://tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/tmp.html
[09:26] <Incarus> badyto, try another distri
[09:27] <badyto> hmm
[09:27] <lcukx41> badyto: which livecd are you trying, and its possible that you have non standard hardware.  the livecd is there to help test compatibility, obviously you have less luck than most with it
[09:27] <badyto> i heard that ubuntu has most support and users
[09:27] <Incarus> i also had problems with opensuse (and my sis graca), but all-in-one its a good distri
[09:27] <badyto> im trying 8.10
[09:27] <diuneigh> •Incarus• I got the linux prompt and types sudo xinit... then more text flashed at the end Fatal server error: addscreen/screeninit failed for driver 0 giving up.. unable to conect to x server
[09:28] <M1DLG> badyto i had issues with my other pc -0 nothing worked until yesterday when i removed a usb device and everything works.
[09:28] <badyto> i have standard mainstream HW
[09:28] <aolko> Incarus: yes
[09:28] <Incarus> badyto, have you got a x64 system?
[09:28] <Incarus> diuneigh	, driver problem
[09:28] <Incarus> aolko, i wouldn't do that
[09:29] <loller>  hi , can u suggest me text editor for linux , i want to request object`s method to be highlighted if it`s possible
[09:29] <badyto> i dont have no system, i cant even start the live cd, i cant see anything, and i cant install anything...
[09:29] <bullgard4> rww: Thank you for your information.
[09:29] <DigitalKiwi> geany, loller
[09:29] <M1DLG> (was fudged that up) I have found the cause of my problems! I am running livedisk and GParted. The drive is showing 925gb corrupted filesystem (about the same size as was used before i told it to format all!) then i have 7.8mb swapspace then ext3 of 5.3 followed by another 298mb of swap space, if i have 2 swap spoaces i assume it's safe  to remove one of them
[09:29] <badyto> gues ill stick to putty
[09:29] <diuneigh> ok.. thanks.. what can i do?
[09:29] <aolko> i heared, it's linux with mac os UI and "plugins"
[09:29] <lcukx41> badyto: what is your standard hardware?
[09:29] <simon_> 哦
[09:30] <aolko> лол
[09:30] <badyto> vga: ati radeon hd 3850 (doesnt get mainstreamer than this)
[09:30] <simon_> 有说汉语的吗
[09:30] <loller> DigitalKiwi thnx
[09:30] <badyto> and no other fancy stuff, simple sataII old HD
[09:30] <Incarus> diuneigh, google it
[09:30] <M1DLG> ROFL!
[09:30] <rww> !cn | Simon_
[09:30] <aolko> Who have Wine?
[09:30] <lcukx41> and it just goes blank after a while whilst starting?
[09:30] <Incarus> badyto, have you got an x86 computer or an x64?
[09:31] <lcukx41> aolko: i do, but the bottle is nearly empty
[09:31] <badyto>  loading is visible, and than goes blank and nothing happens
[09:31] <Incarus> aolko, everybody
[09:31] <diuneigh> •Incarus• is that a video driver problem?
[09:31] <badyto> my procesor supports both x64 and x86
[09:31] <aolko> :)
[09:31] <loller> aolko бг?
[09:31] <Incarus> diuneigh yes
[09:31] <aolko> loller, what бг (чеееего?)
[09:31] <badyto> its a standard old e2160 intel procesor
[09:31] <Gumby> how is 64bit ubuntu these days?  I havnt bothered for some time now
[09:31] <rvn> how do you edit schema entries in gconf
[09:32] <rww> !en | loller, aolko
[09:32] <Incarus> diuneigh, you can try to start the xserver with vesa video driver
[09:32] <rww> Gumby: Works fine for me.
[09:32] <aolko> sorry
[09:32] <Gumby> rww, how are browser plugins like flash etc working?
[09:32] <loller> aolko where from
[09:32] <TecR0c> hey, how do you enable the universe repository in ubuntu 8.10?
[09:32] <aolko> russia
[09:32] <Incarus> Gumby, they work, and sometimes really good
[09:32] <Gumby> somtimes?
[09:32] <rww> Gumby: flash crashes very occasionally (with an npviewer error), but apart from that, they're fine.
[09:33] <Daft_Punk> TecR0c, go to software sources under system > administration
[09:33] <contrawars> Gumby: they're functional now, lol I know where you're coming from with that question.
[09:33] <TecR0c> Daft_Punk thats where i am looking. but i don't know what to do after that ?
[09:33] <somebee> what does swap_cache and cache mean in munin memory-monitor?
[09:34] <Incarus> somebee, but you know what the swap is?
[09:34] <Daft_Punk> TecR0c, it is on the first tab, it should say "community-maintained open source software (universe)" just make sure the box is CHECKED next to it, then click apply and reload the sources by typing 'sudo apt-get updates' in a terminal
[09:35] <TecR0c> Daft_Punk thanks heaps ! :)
[09:35] <somebee> Incarus: thats what I'm asking :)
[09:35] <badyto> can anyone else help me? Im trying to start live CD, i see the load screen, but when the window manager should start my screen goes blank and stays that way... i hear the starting sound though. i have standard desktop computer, a mainstream ati radeon hd 3850 vga and a 22" monitor. no fancy HW... my cpu is intel e2160
[09:35] <Daft_Punk> TecR0c, sorry its sudo apt-get update (not updates)
[09:35] <aolko> why gnash is sooooo slowly?
[09:35] <somebee> Incarus: I know what disk-swap is, but it cannot be that (on the graphs)
[09:35] <Incarus> somebee, it have to
[09:35] <TecR0c> yep thanks :)
[09:36] <Gumby> badyto, install using command line maybe.  sounds to me that X cant detect the card or the monitor.  you might need to edit xorg.conf manually or try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:36] <somebee> Incarus: can I send you link to munin in a pm? The machine uses ~2gb mem, and has 8 total (all of which are detected and supported)
[09:37] <mstksg> when you create a USB boot version of ubuntu, you can specify an amount of reserve space to save files/settings
[09:37] <Incarus> somebee, sure
[09:37] <mstksg> is there any way to change the size of that reserve space?
[09:37] <mstksg> after the fact, that is
[09:37] <hmw> badyto - you could try another linux distro for checking, if it also refuses to boot
[09:37] <Incarus> Gumby, you cant edit the xorg on a live cd
[09:38] <Daft_Punk> badyto, try starting the live cd in low graphics mode, when you are given the live cd boot options menu, there should be an option to start ubuntu in low graphics mode
[09:38] <blueraven1> I just don't know where to ask this..I have 3 partitions on one drive...one for ubuntu, one for vista, one for win 7..I can't seem to see anything on other partitions in any operating system..only in its own partition..how do I look across partitions?
[09:38] <Gumby> Incarus, why not?
[09:38] <Incarus> Gumby, because its an cd
[09:38] <Incarus> -a
[09:38] <dude7064> I want to use the internet to establish my own phone calls and connect me with my friends abroad (in other foreign countries), I was planning to buy a sim card or maybe rent a phone line in the other foreign country where my friends reside and have it connected to the internet all the time. Then on my end I do the same. This way, whenever I call my local phone line number, the call gets forwarded over the internet to my number which I 
[09:38] <Gumby> Incarus, have you tried?
[09:39] <Incarus> Gumby, no
[09:39] <badyto> im not that experienced to wirite down the xorg.conf manualy... i will try the other thing. and than i will try to look for low graphics thingy, and than the old ubuntu cd somewhere deep in my desk...
[09:39] <Daft_Punk> dude7064, why dont you just use skype?
[09:39] <lcukx41> dude7064: people generally use skype for that
[09:39] <Incarus> Gumby, cd's are readonly
[09:39] <dude7064> Skype is expensive for the country I'm calling
[09:39] <Gumby> Incarus, you do know the OS is running in memory right? And that its an image that is loaded when running the livecd
[09:39] <lcukx41> dude7064: only for skype out
[09:39] <Incarus> dude7064, or ekiga
[09:39] <lcukx41> get your friends to use computers as well
[09:39] <cyzie> dude7064, skype is free if you do pc-pc
[09:39] <Gumby> Incarus, hell, you can install packages if you like assuming you have enough memory
[09:39] <Daft_Punk> dude7064, and computer-computer calls are not available to you?
[09:39] <dude7064> I am already using skype,,
[09:40] <Incarus> Gumby, he can also start the xserver with vesa drivers, i dont knwo the command
[09:40] <cyzie> dude7064, so wht is yoru problem?
[09:40] <dude7064> but not all my friends have PCs,, and internet is costly in the foreign country
[09:40] <Gumby> Incarus, 1 line needs to be edited in xorg.conf and it is writable.  try it
[09:40] <mstksg> anyone know how to change the size of the reserve space in a USB installation of Ubuntu after the fact?
[09:40] <hmw> dude7064 - what is your actual question? you might want to look into asterisk
[09:40] <Gumby> Incarus, running off of a livecd is not like reading a file from a cd
[09:41] <Incarus> Gumby, he cant always do that
[09:41] <cyzie> mstksg, use fdisk
[09:41] <Gumby> Incarus, and why not?
[09:41] <Daft_Punk> dude7064, well unfortunately your question is not 'really' ubuntu related so I am not sure you will get what you are looking for here, I would suggest going ahead with the plan you mentioned earlier or talking to someone from a phone company for the cheapest options available to you
[09:41] <acfrazier> is there a commandline IRC?
[09:41] <cyzie> acfrazier, irssi
[09:41] <Gumby> acfrazier, yes  irssi
[09:41] <Gumby> beaten to the punch!
[09:42] <hmw> acfrazier - irssi or epic
[09:42] <dude7064> Any networking channel here ?
[09:42] <ari_stress> what is 3.4×10^38 in english?
[09:42] <mstksg> cyzie -- there seems to be no actual partitions on the usb drive
[09:42] <Daft_Punk> dude7064, no I don't believe so
[09:42] <cyzie> mstksg, then format it
[09:43] <cyzie> mstksg, ext3
[09:43] <rohdef> how do I get kde4 back in kdm after upgrading?
[09:43] <hmw> dude7064 - maybe my client didnt show all your text. it ended with: " forwarded over the internet to my number which I"
[09:43] <Daft_Punk> ari_stress, what?
[09:43] <Daft_Punk> hmw, no, it was his client that didnt post the rest of the text since it was too long
[09:43] <halycon> Does anyone know why it is that the open dialog box in gnome sometimes opens really small like in the following picture: http://members.shaw.ca/halycon/EO/openbox.jpg
[09:43] <mikebeecham> hi guys...I have a notification area setup, but nothing is displaying in it...is this a bug?
[09:44] <hmw> what is dude7064's question then?
[09:44] <ari_stress> Daft_Punk: it's ipv6 max address. i'm interested in how many in english, trillion, godzillion? 3.4×10^38
[09:44] <Incarus> halycon, bug, just resize it
[09:44] <acfrazier> Does anyone know how to fix the problem of no sound when I plug in my headset? It mutes the laptop speakers properly but nothing comes out of the headphones. It worked in Vista but I've moved to Linux and miss the headset functionality.
[09:44] <Daft_Punk> hmw, i believe he is looking for cheapest option to talk to someone in a foreign country, where they have no internet or PC and he wants to use his internet connection to call them, and he thinks skype is too expensive for the country he is calling
[09:44] <cyzie> acfrazier, check setting using alsamixre
[09:44] <cyzie> acfrazier, check setting using alsamixer
[09:44] <halycon> Incarus, oh ok thanks
[09:45] <Daft_Punk> ari_stress, ask google calculator?
[09:45] <badyto> hii! im on linux finaly!!! the graphics safe mode helped me :)
[09:45] <hmw> Daft_Punk if youre right, then i cant see any way to solve the problem... dont you agree?
[09:45] <Incarus> dude7064, if you want to call for free, you can hack it, or use a black box
[09:45] <Daft_Punk> hmw, well it's not really an ubuntu support question...
[09:45] <acfrazier> cyzie: There appears to be no entry for the headset volume, even with Master at 100 nothing comes out
[09:45] <ari_stress> ok
[09:46] <badyto> thx for help :)
[09:46] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, what kind of headset, USB or RCA jack
[09:46] <dude7064> Inarus> black box ? can you please clarify ?
[09:46] <lcukx41> hmw, he could rent a storage facility with power, buy some hardware and a cell connection, dial into that using the net connection he pays for monthly and then out via an automatic old style dialer modem and voice stuff, but its way OTT and will cost 10x more than skype ;)
[09:46] <cyzie> Daft_Punk, he said headset
[09:46] <Incarus> dude7064, no, its illegal
[09:46] <Daft_Punk> Incarus, i don't believe giving the advice of hacking or stealing is a viable resolution in this support channel
[09:47] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: RCA
[09:47] <Incarus> Daft_Punk, rightä
[09:47] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: Plugs into the front
[09:47] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, ok, it could potentially be an issue with your sound card then, not having proper drivers for that port
[09:47] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, is this a laptop or desktop
[09:47] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: laptop
[09:47] <lcukx41> acfrazier: check the headset works now, it mightv worked before with vista, but you mightv broken the headphones since
[09:47] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, ok yeah it might be the drivers then i would assume
[09:48] <Nytrix> !topic
[09:48] <hmw> badyto - you can boot into normal mode, then switch to the console (ctrl-alt-f2) and examine /var/log/Xorg.0.log - or even pastebin it
[09:48] <acfrazier> lcukx41: The headset works with my iPod, just not with the computer
[09:48] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, do you know what your sound card is
[09:48] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: Not off hand, but I can go look it up
[09:48] <lcukx41> ok acfrazier that diagnoses that problem
[09:48] <meoblast001> hi
[09:49] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, what version of ubuntu are you using and what current sound drivers are you using?
[09:49] <hmw> acfrazier - headphones are normal analog ones? sounds like a broken connector to me
[09:49] <Incarus> acfrazier, try to turn up the volume with the alsamixer
[09:49] <Daft_Punk> hmw, he said that he just installed ubuntu (if im correct) and it was working fine in vista
[09:49] <meoblast001> i'm using webmin to ease my fixing of a busted system....... i tried copying mysql files over but got this "SQL show index from `mg_adminlog` failed : Can't find file: './mybb/mg_adminlog.frm' (errno: 13)" where should ./mybb be?
[09:49] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: 8.10, and I'm using ALSA for sound
[09:49] <acfrazier> Incarus: Tried that, no dice.
[09:49] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, did you just upgrade to 8.10 or did you do a fresh install
[09:50] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: fresh install
[09:50] <Incarus> meoblast001, in the current working directory of the app
[09:50] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, have you tried the pulseaudio sound server for your sound?
[09:50] <meoblast001> Incarus: where is "the app"?
[09:50] <hmw> Daft_Punk acfrazier - oh, i see. thats strange, the system doesnt get notified about a headphone plugged in (assumed its a normal analog one) is it usb or bluetooth?
[09:50] <Incarus> meoblast001, try "sudo find / -name mybb
[09:50] <meoblast001> Incarus: in the working directory of mysql?
[09:50] <Incarus> "
[09:50] <Incarus> meoblast001, could be
[09:51] <Daft_Punk> hmw, he said it is analogue, its a laptop, plugs into the front
[09:51] <meoblast001> mybb is forums software
[09:51] <meoblast001> Incarus: do i have to copy my forums over first?
[09:51] <Incarus> no
[09:51] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: Yes, I switched from that because I was experiencing an extremely low volume problem, even at 100% it was barely audible
[09:51] <Incarus> meoblast001, just the missing files
[09:51] <sinan> I cannot adjust the brightness of my screen. Using the function keys, or the brightness applet results in no change of brightness. Any ideas?
[09:51] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, so the pulseaudio server was working for your headset then? it was just low volume?
[09:51] <meoblast001> Incarus: and would those be in the same location as my forums?
[09:51] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: No, it wasn't working for that either.
[09:51] <aniiena> is there anything else I can do to lower my cpu utilization? I've installed the xubuntu desktop
[09:52] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, so you did not get the headset working at any point with ubuntu?
[09:52] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: Nope.
[09:52] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, ok, can you tell us which sound card you have?
[09:52] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, or at least your computer make/model
[09:52] <Incarus> meoblast001, i think so, where is a dot before ("./xyz"
[09:52] <Incarus> )
[09:52] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: AlsaMixer reports it as a SigmaTel STAC9205, computer is a Gateway T-1616
[09:52] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, ok ill check into that
[09:53] <Incarus> aniiena, you can install the lxde desktop
[09:53] <DPCP> Hey guys, I need help with a problem, I'm not getting any sound out of my speakers..
[09:53] <thijs_> Hey all, is there a way to get a USB disk to synchronize with a certain folder/partition automatically when it connects?
[09:53] <TecR0c> how do i create a symolic link between folders ?
[09:53] <thijs_> DPCP: are your mixer settings correct?
[09:53] <Incarus> TecR0c, with link
[09:54] <hmw> Daft_Punk - do you have any idea, what could be causing this? according to my knowledge, the symptom should not be possible.
[09:54] <thijs_> TecR0c: also: see "man ln"
[09:54] <DPCP> Yea, they are fine, my friend suggested that my speakers weren't set as the default playing device but I'm not quite sure how to set them..  Running: xubuntu
[09:54] <Daft_Punk> hmw, i believe it would be an improper sound driver
[09:54] <hmw> acfrazier - open 2 terminals and tail -f /var/log/messages and tail -f /var/log/syslog - do any messages appear upon plugging the headphone?
[09:55] <Daft_Punk> hmw, or perhaps the sound driver is not fully supporting the hardware
[09:55] <hmw> Daft_Punk - but the system doesnt do anything with the plug... thats completely mechanical, as far as i thought
[09:55] <acfrazier> Well there is a "Front" volume, even when that's all the way up no sound plays from the headphones
[09:55] <Incarus> hmw, yes
[09:56] <DPCP> thijs_ Yea, they are fine, my friend suggested that my speakers weren't set as the default playing device but I'm not quite sure how to set them..  Running: xubuntu
[09:56] <hmw> Incarus: ?
[09:56] <acfrazier> And I know it's not a port issue because I can plug the headset into the ajacent mic port on the same connector and get static
[09:56] <Incarus> hmw, right
[09:56] <bas__> hello
[09:56] <hmw> Incarus - what right... the mechanical thing?
[09:56] <rohdef> anyone who knows how to get kde4 into kdm?
[09:56] <Daft_Punk> hmw, the system doesnt do anything with my plug either... it just xfers the sound from laptop speakers to my headset
[09:56] <lcukx41> thanks for tips guys
[09:56] <Incarus> hmw, yes, the mechanical thing
[09:57] <thijs_> DPCP: Ah, i wouldn't know where in X these settings are, can you configure your sound device through the soundspeaker icon in your tray?
[09:57] <acfrazier> hmw: I know it's doing something because I can plug the headphones in and the laptop speakers correctly mute
[09:57] <TecR0c> Incarus this is what i am trying to do . create a directory into a globally accessible location (/usr/local/msf) and then create symnbolic links from the msf* applications to a directory in the system path (/usr/local/bin)
[09:57] <DPCP> thijs_ Hang on a second I'll check.
[09:57] <Nytrix> !wubi
[09:57] <TecR0c> i have created the /usr/local/msf and copied all the directories that i need to.
[09:58] <Incarus> TecR0c, "link --help"
[09:58] <TecR0c> but i am unsure on what i am ment to link between the msf and the /usr/local/bin
[09:58] <DPCP> thijs_ Good call, I was able to set it as the default device alright.  I'll just test it now, brb.
[09:58] <hmw> Incarus - well. then the problem is really interesting. maybe there is a partly broken cable involved? acfrazier: the mute is also a simple mechanical switch built into the plug, so i am not surprised about the mute. if you wouldnt have said, it works in vista, i would say, its defentively a broken connection somewhere on the board
[09:58] <thijs_> DPCP: good luck :)
[09:58] <wers> i want my all my fonts to have the same rendering settings like the ones i have for my gnome desktop. what do i put on my .fonts.conf to do that?
[09:58] <Incarus> hmw, no, it seems to be a software problem
[09:58] <Nytrix> !unix
[09:58] <Daft_Punk> hmw, acfrazier i think its a bug read: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/306755
[09:59] <donatt> Хэллоу
[09:59] <DPCP> thijs_ No luck :(.  Could it be a problem with gstreamer?
[09:59] <donatt> Подскажите просмоторщик картинок ... ?
[09:59] <TecR0c> Incarus would i do link /usr/local/msf /usr/local/bin/msf ?
[09:59] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: But I didn't upgrade, it was a clean install.
[09:59] <Incarus> TecR0c, try it
[09:59] <TecR0c> is that what it wants me to do
[09:59] <InDaLivingRoom> !libcrss
[09:59] <TecR0c> Incarus this is what i am trying to do . create a directory into a globally accessible location (/usr/local/msf) and then create symnbolic links from the msf* applications to a directory in the system path (/usr/local/bin)
[09:59] <Daft_Punk> hmw, acfrazier it seems the issue is with gateway t model laptops (doesnt mean you have to have upgraded)
[09:59] <quibbler> !ru
[09:59] <InDaLivingRoom> !dvd
[10:00] <TravelByHuman> hi
[10:00] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, if you read the comments, other users with gateway t model laptops have the same problem, have you tried booting the system with the headphones plugged in?
[10:00] <TravelByHuman> I have 3 virtual machines. 2 running Windows XP Pro, 1 running Server 2008 Enterprise. I have a quad core CPU with 4GB of RAM. I have 2 questions: 1. What specs should I give my virtual machines? 2. Which host OS should I use? Windows Vista x64, Ubuntu 8.10 or Mac OS X Leopard? (VMware Fusion vs VMware Workstation)
[10:00] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: No, I have not.
[10:00] <thijs_> DPCP: Are the settings for all devices you can configure through that interface set correctly? try messing with different setting combinations for the devices, I'm runing gnome, and I've found that only some configurations work correctly (especially when you have multiple sound outputs)
[10:01] <Incarus> TecR0c, http://help.hardhathosting.com/question.php/95
[10:01] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, it could be a bug with 8.10, i would say boot the computer with the headset plugged in, then if it works, try downgrading the system to 8.04 and it would potentially work
[10:01] <DPCP> thijs_ I'm a noob to linux, and I'm afraid I didn't quite follow that..
[10:01] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: I was considering trying the development build of 9.04, but as far as I know there's no way to upgrade from what I've got
[10:01] <DPCP> thijs_ How do I mess with the settings?
[10:01] <thijs_> DPCP: ah, ok, well, are the volume levels for your device set correctly?
[10:01] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, well, 8.10 is "fairly" new release, 8.04 would have less bugs...
[10:01] <DPCP> thijs_ I think so.
[10:02] <Incarus> TravelByHuman, linux is a good choose
[10:02] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, also 8.04 is long term support until 2011 so we would still support you in this channel
[10:02] <Nytrix> linux rules
[10:02] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: I tried 8.04 when it was initially released, it didn't support my wireless, that's primarily why I didn't switch to Linux back then
[10:02] <Nytrix> !best
[10:02] <thijs_> DPCP: for instance, if you select the proper default device for playback, are all the switches set to full volume?
[10:02] <TravelByHuman> Incarus: Okay... what about the specs (question 1.)
[10:02] <Incarus> TravelByHuman, don't know
[10:02] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, well that was since its initial release, it could have been resolved by now
[10:02] <DPCP> thijs_ NOpe they aren't all set to full.
[10:02] <Incarus> TravelByHuman, i dont use virtual things
[10:03] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: But is the actual .iso image updated?
[10:03] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, before jumping to conclusions, try booting your system with the headset plugged in and give that a go
[10:03] <TecR0c> Incarus when i try to do that command i get, link: cannot create link /usr/local/msf to /usr/local/bin/msf: file exists ?
[10:03] <thijs_> DPCP: try setting them to full, on all possible devices, and then go through each device, testing whether the sound works
[10:03] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, no i dont believe so, do you not have access to a direct connection to the internet via ethernet cable?
[10:03] <thijs_> :P
[10:03] <DPCP> thijs_ oh god lol..  Brb.
[10:03] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: Not at the moment, which is why I would refrain from downgrading as I wouldn't be able to update to fix my wireless problem
[10:03] <Incarus> TecR0c, is /usr/local/msf empty?
[10:04] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: there's one more problem I've been having with sound
[10:04] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, well, boot your system with the headset plugged in, then let me know how that went, we can go from there
[10:04] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: I'll try that, then we can work on resolving the problem I've been having with the volume control.
[10:04] <Incarus> TecR0c, or do you try to symlink directorys?
[10:04] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, if you had issues with pulseaudio server, i would still assume this is all an issue with the driver
[10:04] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: Thankfully this isn't a 5 hour reboot, I'll be right back.
[10:04] <Daft_Punk> k
[10:05] <DPCP> thijs_ I'll get my friend to come up later and have a look at it :P  Thanks for all the help though! :)
[10:05] <quibbler> TravelByHuman: it maybe better to try in #ubuntu-virt
[10:05] <thijs_> no worries
[10:05] <thijs_> Hey all, is there a way to get a USB disk to synchronize with a certain folder/partition automatically when it connects?
[10:05] <Incarus> TecR0c, try it with /.   :   /usr/local/msf/ to /usr/local/bin/msf/
[10:05] <InDaLivingRoom> is there anything else except for libdvdcss2 that ineed to install in order to be ableto play dvds?
[10:06] <Incarus> InDaLivingRoom, no
[10:06] <Incarus> InDaLivingRoom, libdvdcss2 is the dvd encryption decoder
[10:06] <InDaLivingRoom> Incarus: why dont i get to see any content then?several different mnedia....
[10:06] <TravelByHuman> quibbler: Just did
[10:06] <Incarus> InDaLivingRoom, ?
[10:06] <chrisp1> am having issues getting screen resolution changed. am used to specifying in xorg.conf but things different with ubuntu. help please...
[10:07] <InDaLivingRoom> Incarus: i know... when i try to mount the rom manually it tells me no media found
[10:07] <Incarus> thijs_, you can write a script
[10:07] <InDaLivingRoom> Incarus: and nothing popsup asking me how to open the media...
[10:07] <Incarus> InDaLivingRoom, the dvd? it have to work
[10:07] <harlemdavvey> guys is it normal that my HOME folder is my Desktop??????
[10:07] <Daft_Punk> no
[10:07] <InDaLivingRoom> incarus dvds nd music cds alike...
[10:07] <Incarus> InDaLivingRoom, which command did u use?
[10:08] <thijs_> Incarus: I know, i'm using rsync, but how do I invoke it on connection of the device?
[10:08] <harlemdavvey> Daft_Punk were you answering to me?
[10:08] <hmw> hralem no, but there is a way to make it so. its strange that you dont know about having it set that way
[10:08] <InDaLivingRoom> sudo mount /media/cdrom   /cdrom0 which usually does the job just fine...
[10:08] <Daft_Punk> harlemdavvey, yup
[10:08] <thijs_> Incarus: is there a trigger I can use?
[10:08] <Incarus> thijs_, don't know
[10:08] <thijs_> :S
[10:08] <hmw> harlemdavvey no, but there is a way to make it so. its strange that you dont know about having it set that way
[10:08] <InDaLivingRoom> Incarus: that was supposed to mean either cdrtom or cdrom0
[10:09] <Incarus> InDaLivingRoom, dvd's are /dev/dvd, not cdrom
[10:09] <acfrazier> this seems to resolve the issue
[10:09] <Daft_Punk> ??
[10:09] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, does your headset work
[10:09] <hmw> acfrazier Daft_Punk seems like he rebooted
[10:09] <chrisp1> screen resolution, how do i set?
[10:09] <Daft_Punk> hmw, i told him to, lol
[10:09] <InDaLivingRoom> Incarus: that would bethe block device which is still being mounted to /media/cdrom...?
[10:09] <harlemdavvey> hmw i know i had set it someway but i don't know how to revert the things xD
[10:10] <hmw> Daft_Punk yea i saw
[10:10] <harlemdavvey> could someone help me?
[10:10] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: yes, and leaving it plugged in before booting, I heard the boot sound through the headset
[10:10] <acfrazier> so yes, it works
[10:10] <Daft_Punk> hmw, if his headset does work now, then its the bug that was reported in that link
[10:10] <Incarus> InDaLivingRoom, try to mount /dev/dvd and insert the dvd first
[10:10] <TravelByHuman> What's the best file-system for holding VMware Images? (for running on Linux, Mac and Windows) - Ext3, HFS+ or NTFS?
[10:10] <acfrazier> let me get out of the terminal
[10:10] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, ok its the bug in the link i gave you, so it was reported already
[10:10] <InDaLivingRoom> Incarus: anyways mount /dev/dvd also states no media found...
[10:10] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, not much you can REALLY do about that sorry
[10:11] <Incarus> InDaLivingRoom, hm
[10:11] <InDaLivingRoom> Incarus: indeed:D
[10:11] <Incarus> InDaLivingRoom, did you insert a dvd?
[10:11] <InDaLivingRoom> Incarus: sure    did
[10:11] <ahmed5482> Hello, i installed Ubuntu 8.10 intrepid 64 bit , the ubuntu recognize only 3.2 GB out of 8 GB ?
[10:11] <acfrazier> went into pidgin
[10:11] <Incarus> InDaLivingRoom, k
[10:11] <quibbler> harlemdavvey: open configuration editor go to apps-nautilus-perferences uncheck desktop is home dir
[10:11] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, ok, so you are a victim of the bug in the link i showed you https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/306755
[10:11] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: this seems to be the case
[10:11] <InDaLivingRoom> Incarus: k?
[10:11] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, unfortunately it doesnt seem resolved through any updates yet, and it was reported already
[10:11] <chrisp1> ahmed5482: it is most likely a limitation of your bios
[10:12] <Incarus> InDaLivingRoom, no idea
[10:12] <hmw> harlemdavvey - maybe this post helps you: I accidentally changed the name of the desktop folder from Desktop to desktop. Then next time I logged in, the desktop was my home directory. The fix it to go to edit ~/.config/users.dirs.dirs and change the line XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/" to XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop". Log out and back in. Using Ubuntu 7.10.
[10:12] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: I also have another sound issue, I have no idea if it's related, but
[10:12] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, options would be to not use the headset, or to make sure you reboot before using them and just keep them plugged in, or downgrade to hardy heron
[10:12] <InDaLivingRoom> Incarus: gawd... thanks for the attempt anyways...
[10:12] <Incarus> ahmed5482, it could be broken space, try to part, or free space wipe
[10:12] <rdz> hi all. do i need the virtualbox-ose-modules, if ubuntu is the host system? or is that package required to provide certain host capabilites for ubuntu?
[10:13] <ahmed5482> Incarus: how i can do that ? i am new to Ubuntu
[10:13] <chrisp1> ahmed5482: you are talking about physical ram right?
[10:13] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: The volume control built into GNOME doesn't seem to be entirely accurate, the sound is muted about 2/3 of the way down the slider
[10:13] <harlemdavvey> hmw: do you think this will work good in ubuntu 8,10?
[10:13] <ahmed5482> chrisp1: yes]
[10:13] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: same applies to AlsaMixer
[10:13] <Incarus> ahmed5482, ask somebody else
[10:13] <hmw> rdz - is required. must match kernel version. maybe you will want to keep older kernels, because the modules arent always available for the newest kernel (you can still compile them yourself)
[10:13] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, the jog dial for your volume is part of your sound card, and it would probably be related to the sound driver not working properly for your sound card
[10:13] <TravelByHuman> What's the best file-system for holding VMware Images? (for running on Linux, Mac and Windows) - Ext3, HFS+ or NTFS?
[10:13] <chrisp1> ahmed5482: it has to be your bios... i see this all of the time... what is your MB?
[10:13] <hmw> harlemdavvey - i dont know, but i guess yes. if you find that setting, its very likely, that it will work
[10:14] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, until a patch or upgrade for the driver is released to resolve this issue, it doesnt seem like there is much you can do about it except live with it
[10:14] <Incarus> TravelByHuman, they are all good
[10:14] <harlemdavvey> ok, i'm trying now;) hmw thnks so much nayway
[10:14] <TravelByHuman> which is the better of the 3?
[10:14] <Incarus> TravelByHuman, ntfs
[10:14] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: Well the slider isn't that big of an issue, I got the problem of the low volume resolved by switching to ALSA
[10:14] <TravelByHuman> ok
[10:14] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: So I can live with it definately
[10:14] <ahmed5482> chrisp1: Intel DG965WH
[10:14] <shavin> I have installed intrepid on my 8gb pen drive. I store all my documents and videos etc on it. how do i find out how much space if left for my use?
[10:14] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, well, the people that posted the bug, they said that it works fine in hardy heron (8.04) so you couuld try that, but potentially be faced with a wireless issue
[10:15] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, one way to CHECK is to burn 8.04 onto a LIVE cd and boot to it and see if your wireless works out of the box
[10:15] <Incarus> TravelByHuman, ntfs is compatible with windows, linux and mac
[10:15]  * TravelByHuman goes to give his Server image 2GB of RAM, his XP Pro images 512MB of RAM (each) & to format a hard-drive partition (100GB) to NTFS
[10:15] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: The huge turn off for linux was not being able to hear stuff clearly due to the low volume, and yes, I'll give that a try. The one thing I checked off the bat in Intrepid was the wireless
[10:15] <sky_> can i write data from linux to ntfs secure ?
[10:15] <Incarus> shavin, just right click
[10:16] <Incarus> sky_, secure?
[10:16] <shavin> right click the usb drive?
[10:16] <Gumby> sky_, by secure do you mean safely?
[10:16] <sky_> oh yeah
[10:16] <sky_> my en suxx sry :D
[10:16] <Gumby> sky_, yes, you can
[10:16] <harlemdavvey> hmw: is it normal that my users.dirs.dirs file is blank??
[10:16] <Nytrix> !hi
[10:16] <Incarus> shavin, right click the usb device folder in /media/
[10:16] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, well it's not really the fault of linux so much, because the companies that make the hardware for your computer only support windows officially, so whoever makes the hardware, releases a driver for WINDOWS, but not for linux, so one has to be coded... which of course can lead to bugs
[10:16] <rdz> hmw, yeah.. i actually asked because of the fact, that sometimes the newest kernel version is missing.. thanks a lot for the info
[10:16] <diuneigh> •Incarus• I googled it but not getting anywhere...
[10:17] <chrisp1> ahmed5482: board supports the total ram... are all of the chips the same or are they mix and match? same speed, inserted as pairs for the DDR?
[10:17] <Incarus> diuneigh, what was your problem? i forgot it
[10:17] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, some computers work better with linux than others, luckily i use an old laptop and everything that i need works... probably some stuff that doesnt tho like the card reader but i dont use it
[10:17] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: Would it do me any good to post inside that bug report saying I can confirm the issue, or would that not contribute to the final resolution of the problem?
[10:17] <diuneigh> •Incarus• video driver... basically.. it seems that there is no fix....http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810
[10:17] <sky_> Daft_Punk: you are offtopic
[10:17] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, but the pros do tend to outweigh the cons, for instance: no viruses, ever
[10:17] <sky_> !offtopic
[10:18] <shavin> Incarus: strange. the /media/ is empty!
[10:18] <hmw> rdz: think *g* its user-dirs.dirs
[10:18] <Incarus> diuneigh, try another distri
[10:18] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, it wouldnt hurt to say what model you have of computer and what card you have, saying that the bug applies to you as well
[10:18] <Incarus> shavin, you have to mount your usb device first
[10:18] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: That was one of the main reasons I switched to linux, no viruses unless you're stupid enough to let them install
[10:18] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: Do you have the link to the bug report?
[10:18] <Daft_Punk> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/306755
[10:18] <shavin> But i am running ubuntu from it. is it safe to do that?
[10:18] <diuneigh> •Incarus• so I am out of luck with Ubuntu then? how about debian lenny then?
[10:19] <Incarus> diuneigh, no!
[10:19] <Incarus> diuneigh, don't use debian
[10:19] <sky_> diuneigh: switching between distros you can solved your problems
[10:19] <sky_> diuneigh: you cant
[10:19] <Incarus> diuneigh, you can try opensuse
[10:19] <diuneigh> •Incarus• what do you suggest?
[10:19] <Incarus> ...
[10:19] <tehKitten> I have installed Ubuntu with Wubi, so now i have an Dualboot, but can i now install Xubuntu with Wubi to make an tripleboot?
[10:20] <Gumby> diuneigh, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make your video card use a vesa driver
[10:20] <Incarus> tehKitten, yes, but backup grub file
[10:20] <tehKitten> Thanks!
[10:20] <diuneigh> •Incarus• ok... the problem is the nvidia GeForce driver..
[10:20] <Nytrix> !virus
[10:21] <chrisp1> Gumby: I am having a screen resolution issue and that just caused the display not to come up
[10:21] <shavin_> I try to mount my boot pen drive but it says cannot mount volume
[10:21] <Thisdude> hey my computers gotten a bit slow and hangs up it never used to anyone got any tips
[10:21] <Gumby> chrisp1, thats nice. what would you like me to do about it?
[10:21] <diuneigh> •Gumby• i'll try that.. thank you..

[10:21] <TravelByHuman> Can someone please repeat everything after the colon word for word (it's for my log): TravelByHuman: Will go to give his Server image 2GB of RAM, his XP Pro images 512MB of RAM (each) & to format a hard-drive partition (100GB) to NTFS
[10:21] <sky_> Incarus: thats fail :p
[10:21] <chrisp1> sorry... I have been having similar problems and looking for help
[10:21] <Gumby> diuneigh, there is no reason you cant get X running with your setup
[10:22] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, see private msg
[10:22] <Gumby> chrisp1, you are going to have to be a bit more specific
[10:22] <hmw> Thisdude - we wont be able to help without more information. what software did you install recently, changes to hardware, configuration changes?
[10:22] <Incarus> diuneigh, if ubuntu dont support your graka you wouldn't be happy with the vesa driver
[10:22] <shavin_> is it because the OS has been booted from the pen drive? because if i plug in other pen drives they mount fine
[10:22] <Incarus>  8-)
[10:22] <chrisp1> Gumby: i just installed ubuntu on a sony laptop and the display is only centered in the screen and not using all of the real estate
[10:22] <tehKitten> Thankx for the help ppl! Bye!

[10:23] <Gumby> chrisp1, which laptop model?
[10:23] <TravelByHuman> Thanks a heap hmw
[10:23] <Incarus> chrisp1, you can change it manually in the xorg
[10:23] <Incarus> .conf

[10:24] <chrisp1> Incarus: i tried that and then my x would not start
[10:24] <quibbler> jerome_: tapes  /jpoin #ubuntu-fr
[10:24] <quibbler> *join
[10:24] <chrisp1> Incarus: graca?
[10:25] <Gumby> chrisp1, post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to a pastebin
[10:25] <Gumby> !pastebin
[10:25] <Incarus> chrisp1, graphic card, do you have got a laptop?
[10:25] <pop79> hi everyone
[10:25] <acfrazier> Alright, well I have a new question now. I was trying to get my dad to switch to Linux, but I went through the process of installing it, importing all his data, then his computer reboots and we got GRUB error 22. The Ubuntu installation was installed to a secondary internal hard drive, as his Windows installation was intended to be preserved.
[10:26] <pop79> acfrazier: I got that problem too, i have a solution
[10:26] <Incarus> acfrazier, i think its a problem with the windows boot loader
[10:26] <pop79> Do you have any flash drives imported?
[10:27] <acfrazier> pop79: No, but his Zune media player was plugged in at the time
[10:27] <chrisp1> !pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/121373/
[10:27] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, that is a problem with the boot loader for grub
[10:27] <pop79> Well, anything like a flash drive, like the Zune, should be first plugged out
[10:28] <acfrazier> Daft_Punk: is there any way to resolve it?
[10:28] <pop79> Hey Daft_Punk, are you really Daft Punk?
[10:28] <hmw> acfrazier - error 22 means that the proper partition wasnt found by grub. it is possible, that you need to change the entries in /boot/grub/menu.lst to make grub use the UUID of the partition instead of the /dev/sdXY thing. This can happen, because the BIOS sometimes swaps drives.
[10:28] <Incarus> acfrazier, grub and windows boot loader annoying each other
[10:28] <Daft_Punk> acfrazier, yeah you would have to go into the xconf file and change some options around to fix the grub bootloader, since its on a second driver
[10:28] <Daft_Punk> pop79, offtopic
[10:28] <pop79> ok
[10:28] <Incarus> acfrazier, post your menu.lst
[10:28] <Daft_Punk> sorry i didnt mean xconf i meant menu.lst
[10:29] <acfrazier> Incarus: I don't have access to his computer right now
[10:29] <pop79> acfrazier: plug out your zune, then try to load GRUB again. When ubuntu is on, plug it back in
[10:29] <Incarus> acfrazier, dont you have a live cd?
[10:29] <hmw> acfrazier - a quick and dirty solution is to change the entries hd(0,0) to hd(1,0) - but it might switch back later.
[10:29] <acfrazier> Incarus: Yes, I do
[10:30] <Incarus> acfrazier, boot it
[10:30] <aniiena> which uses less cpu, midori or Firefox?
[10:30] <entrooo> Any recommendations on what IRC is the best in ubuntu
[10:31] <entrooo> I'm using xChat gnome right now
[10:31] <hmw> aniiena - i dont know midori, but a big part of Firefox is written in JavaScript, which is interpreded on the fly. This consumes a lot of CPU
[10:31] <porter1> entrooo, xchat
[10:31] <pop79> aniiena: that is an offtopic question #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:31] <Incarus> entrooo, im using opera, but chatzilla is also good
[10:31] <entrooo> the one that comes with ubuntu or should I go download the one off of xchat.org
[10:31] <pop79> i use chatzilla
[10:31] <sheep> entrooo: use the version of xchat in ubuntu's repositories
[10:31] <Incarus> im afk
[10:31] <pif> hi, a friend would like to install the latest ubuntu on his xp netbook (no cdrom), can he do that directly from windows xp ? or must he use a usb stick?
[10:31] <hmw> pop79 aniiena - it is likely, that you will get flamed when asking technical questions in #ubuntu-offtopic. this channel is ok to ask that
[10:31] <sheep> entrooo: but not xchat-gnome
[10:31] <chrisp1> Gumby: did you get a chance to look at that conf I pasted?
[10:31] <pop79> ok
[10:31] <entrooo> alright
[10:32] <entrooo> I'll take a look
[10:32] <entrooo> one second
[10:32] <pop79> hmw: i saw a lot of technical chat going on in there... :*
[10:32] <entrooo> when you say repositories you mean the add/remove applications?
[10:33] <aniiena> I've changed my desktop env from GNOME->lxde
[10:33] <hmw> pop79 - well... depends, who is there and why. some guy flamed me, because i *answered* a tech question there. he said, he goes to offtopic, when his head is full after being here supporting people.
[10:33] <aniiena> cpu still gets eaten opening some webpages, anything else I can do?
[10:34] <hmw> aniiena - how bad is it really?
[10:34] <Incarus> aniiena, make a swap
[10:34] <aniiena> 100%, page stutters
[10:34] <pop79> anyone have graphics problems?
[10:34] <chrisp1> pop79: I am
[10:34] <hmw> aniiena - if you dont have a very fast computer, flash is quite slow
[10:34] <pop79> chrisp: whats up?
[10:34] <acfrazier> pop79: I have static when i use 3D effects, tolerable, but that's about it
[10:34] <hmw> aniiena - you could try freeing up some ram by disabling unneeded services, even disabling compiz.
[10:35] <aniiena> Incarus: I have a swap
[10:35] <hmw> aniiena - FF gets slower, the more plugins you have
[10:35] <pop79> i mean.... chrisp1: whats up?
[10:35] <aniiena> it's a base install of FF
[10:35] <Incarus> aniiena, or vou can by ram. ram is 30 x faster then swap
[10:35] <acfrazier> Is it more efficient to install Opera from the site or from the repositories
[10:35] <chrisp1> pop79: i am trying to change the resolution of my screen, but when i edit the xorg.conf file my x will not restart
[10:35] <aniiena> ram utilization never goes past 55%
[10:36] <Incarus> chrisp1, which driver?
[10:36] <pop79> hmm... on minute chrisp1
[10:36] <hmw> aniiena - if you have more than 1.2GB RAM and at least 1.5 GHz, you should be able to surf quite normally. but fullscreen youtube wont really work with such hardware
[10:36] <pop79> *one* minute
[10:36] <Incarus> aniiena, is kde installed?
[10:36] <aniiena> no
[10:36] <Incarus> good
[10:37] <aniiena> hmw: it's not that I can't surf normally, it's just the one site this computer needs to use
[10:37] <aniiena> that site stutters horrribly. (the site is flash heavy)
[10:37] <chrisp1> Incarus: that's just it. there is no driver specified in the file. just this line:
[10:37] <chrisp1> Section "Device"
[10:37] <chrisp1> 	Identifier	"Configured Video Device"
[10:37] <hmw> aniiena - i have flash plugin under suspicion. in my expirience, the open source flash plugin is very slow. try the proprietary flash plugin, if you dont have it already
[10:37] <hmw> !flash
[10:37] <lianimator> where is the trash folder located?
[10:37] <Incarus> chrisp1, and what graphic card?
[10:38] <rww> !trash | lianimator
[10:38] <sfire> wow.. turn off compiz and the media players work so much better :o
[10:38] <pop79> chrisp1: go to #xorg
[10:38] <chrisp1> Incarus: it is builtin on the laptop... sony vaio... looking it up...
[10:38] <lianimator> sfire: how to turn off media playes?
[10:38] <entrooo> hey sheep, are there themes for xchat somewhere?
[10:39] <vineeth> HI
[10:39] <entrooo> I remember there being themes in the windows version
[10:39] <pop79> !hi |vineeth
[10:39] <Incarus> lianimator: ir you turn of compiz the media players works better
[10:39] <porter1> entrooo, there still are
[10:39] <Incarus> chrisp1, ...
[10:39] <entrooo> where are they located?
[10:40] <harlemdavvey> how can i make my menus and panels transparent??
[10:40] <Scix> where is the best place for putting a bash login script wish applies to all users that logs on to a desktop? The script is suppoed to mount some NFS shares based on user name and groups
[10:40] <harlemdavvey> in particular the menus, i have a transparent panel yet
[10:40] <chrisp1> Incarus: Intel 82815 graphics chip
[10:41] <aniiena> hmw: adobe-flashplugin is already the newest version :\
[10:41] <Incarus> entrooo, /home/username/.local/share/Trash
[10:41] <hmw> aniiena - i was talking about gnash. i didnt like it.
[10:41] <Incarus> chrisp1, google it
[10:41] <quibbler> harlemdavvey: right click on a panel choose properties-background
[10:41] <aniiena> don't gnash and adobe-flashplugin do the same thing?
[10:42] <Incarus> aniiena, no
[10:42] <hmw> aniiena - yes, but gnash is open source
[10:42] <harlemdavvey> quibbler: no, i'm interested in having the menus transparent
[10:42] <hmw> Incarus aniiena - gnash is not OS flash??
[10:42] <Incarus> aniiena, gnash couldn't do as much as adobes flash player
[10:42] <entrooo> incarus what are you talking about?
[10:42] <aniiena> if I have adobe's plugin, I don't need gnash.. right?
[10:42] <rww> aniiena: gnash doesn't work very well; adobe's flash player isn't open-source.
[10:42] <hmw> aniiena - right.
[10:42] <rww> aniiena: correct
[10:42] <Incarus> entrooo, the trash
[10:43] <aniiena> so anyone have suggestions on a browser that might use less cpu than FF?
[10:43] <hmw> aniiena - can i check this specific web site?
[10:43] <aniiena> nickjr.com
[10:43] <quibbler> harlemdavvey: then no
[10:43] <hmw> aniiena - is that page using flash at all? or java?
[10:43] <harlemdavvey> aniiena: you mean a web browser?
[10:43] <entrooo> why should I be looking in my trash?
[10:43] <Incarus> dont know
[10:43] <aniiena> yes, web browser
[10:43] <harlemdavvey> quibbler: what about themes, can theme make your menus and panels transparent?
[10:43] <aniiena> hmw: it's almost fully flash
[10:43] <Incarus> entrooo, sry, it was lianimator	
[10:44] <hmw> aniiena - should i see the "slowlyness" on the first page?
[10:44] <harlemdavvey> aniiena: then you can go with seamonkey or epiphany
[10:44] <aniiena> one second, let me get the exact link
[10:44] <rabidweezle> anyone know the command line to make 7zip use the best compression?
[10:44] <Finnish_> Where can I get the latest version of Jaunty?
[10:44] <lianimator> Incarus: hehe, that was kind of funny
[10:44] <harlemdavvey> you can install by terminal: sudo apt-get install ephiphany-web
[10:44] <Incarus>  8-)
[10:45] <harlemdavvey> aniiena - you should have seamonkey as default browser if you're using ubuntu 8.10
[10:45] <quibbler> harlemdavvey: i told you how to make your panels transparent it also works with drawers on your panels but not menus...as to theme that do that i have no idea\
[10:45] <rww> Finnish_: 1) Jaunty discussion and questions belong in #ubuntu+1, not here. 2) http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/jaunty/alpha4
[10:45] <Incarus> Finnish_, "update-manager -d"
[10:45] <aniiena> http://www.nickjr.com/playtime/cats/art/index.jhtml
[10:45] <harlemdavvey> quibbler - yes, i know, thanks anyway :)
[10:45] <hmw> mharlemdavvey - isnt seamonkey the same as firefox, but rebranded for some reasons?
[10:46] <Incarus> hmw, it is
[10:46] <harlemdavvey> hmw: i think yes, but it uses less memory
[10:46] <aniiena> memory isn't the issue
[10:46] <Incarus> opera uses less memory then both
[10:46] <hmw> aniiena - the first page takes quite a while to load on my linux (fedora). i fear, you will have to live with slow speed, if its just that little slow as it is here (took about 15 seconds, windows was faster)
[10:47] <harlemdavvey> aniiena: i told you seamonkey because i better in general
[10:47] <rww> hmw: no, they're different entities. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SeaMonkey
[10:47] <harlemdavvey> then guys, why don't give a try to netscape?
[10:47] <aniiena> I'm not really concerned with how long they take to load
[10:47] <contrawars> iceweasle = firefox
[10:47] <aniiena> it's the quality of the games once loaded that is the issue at the moment
[10:47] <hmw> rww thx
[10:47] <harlemdavvey> aniiena: look, if you want a great borwser, install epiphany
[10:47] <harlemdavvey> it works great
[10:48] <harlemdavvey> i'm using it jusst right now;)
[10:48] <Incarus> hmw, the page is slow, but aniiena's pc is slow, not just the page
[10:48] <edgex-_> -
[10:48] <harlemdavvey> guys what's the best office suite to work with? Koffice or Open Office??
[10:48] <Incarus> open office
[10:48] <rww> !best
[10:49] <abra> Can anybody explain me how banshee works via proxy?
[10:49] <aniiena> sudo apt-get install epiphany-web ?
[10:49] <harlemdavvey> i just have to write, i do not usually work with excel stuff or numbers, or whatever.. i just have to write something sometimes.. maybe i could only use abiword don't you think?
[10:49] <harlemdavvey> aniiena - yes;)
[10:49] <aniiena> couldn't find package epiphany-web
[10:49] <Incarus> aniiena, dont use epiphany, its unsecure and buggy
[10:50] <rww> aniiena: no, epiphany-browser
[10:50] <harlemdavvey> aniiena - try epiphany-browser
[10:50] <rww> Incarus: Do you have a citation for that?
[10:50] <harlemdavvey> thx rww
[10:50] <Incarus> rww	, yes
[10:51] <aniiena> if someone wants to root my nephew's box, more power to them. he is 13 years away from getting a credit card.
[10:51] <rabidweezle> any nice new window managers lately?
[10:51] <Incarus> aniiena, i would buy r more ram
[10:51] <aniiena> it has 1.5gig
[10:52] <Incarus> hm
[10:52] <harlemdavvey> aniiena : that's quite interesting;)
[10:52] <hmw> Incarus aniiena 1.5G is not much, but also not too less. Its just flash being very slow, especially in linux
[10:53] <hmw> aniiena what is your cpu type and clock rate?
[10:53] <aniiena> just as an aside
[10:53] <harlemdavvey> what do you suggest me to use to play my music??
[10:53] <harlemdavvey> i have VLC
[10:53] <aniiena> FF runs nickjr's flash better than epiphany
[10:53] <Incarus> harlemdavvey, vlc
[10:53] <aniiena> AMD 2500+
[10:53] <hmw> harlemdavvey - xmms is similar to winamp
[10:53] <forces> harlemdavvey, Rthymbox
[10:53] <abmodi> xmms
[10:53] <abmodi> the original version..not xmms2 :)
[10:53] <Incarus> aniiena, "ps -u username"
[10:54] <pop79> is real player available for linux?
[10:54] <Incarus> pop79, yes
[10:54] <Incarus> pop79, but its bad
[10:54] <pop79> oh... well, ill try it anyhow
[10:54] <pop79> does it have the video downloading feature?
[10:54] <Incarus> yes
[10:54] <pop79> deadly, im definatly trying it out
[10:54] <Incarus> but doesnt work on my computer, it cant play anything
[10:54] <aniiena> Incarus: some gnome stuff, lxde-settings, openbox, etc
[10:55] <Incarus> aniiena, paste it
[10:55] <Incarus> !paste
[10:56] <pop79> i can't get real player via add/remove... gonna have to go to reals siter
[10:56] <aniiena> pastebin.ca/1344284
[10:56] <Incarus> pop79, yes, not opensource
[10:56] <pop79> ok
[10:56] <chrisp1> pop79: , Gumby: , and Incarus:. Thanks for the moral support. I got it working.
[10:57] <Incarus> k
[10:57] <pop79> k2
[10:57] <Incarus> aniiena, k, and now "ps -u root"
[10:57] <rww> pop79: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RealPlayerInstallationMethods
[10:57] <pop79> ok
[10:57] <harlemdavvey> do you have problems with your firefox?
[10:57] <harlemdavvey> mine is not usable
[10:57] <hmw> Incarus why not ps -aux
[10:58] <aniiena> Incarus: reload
[10:58] <Incarus> hmw, didn't know
[10:58] <Incarus> aniiena, reload?
[10:58] <Incarus> k
[10:58] <aniiena> i appended it to the same pastebin
[10:58] <Incarus> yes
[10:58] <aniiena> pastebin.ca/1344285
[10:59] <harlemdavvey> Incarus: what is that command?
[10:59] <rww> abmodi: xmms 1 isn't being developed any more, has several major security bugs, and isn't in Ubuntu's repositories. Please don't recommend it in here.
[10:59] <rww> !xmms | abmodi
[10:59] <jose> 12
[10:59] <hmw> aniiena - please give us ps -aux
[11:00] <Incarus> aniiena, was the last "ps -u root"?
[11:00] <aniiena> yeah
[11:00] <aniiena> http://pastebin.ca/1344285
[11:00] <Incarus> aniiena, but its the same
[11:00] <aniiena> ubuntu user followed by root
[11:00] <Incarus> k

[11:01] <aniiena> direct rendering: Yes
[11:02] <Incarus> k
[11:03] <Incarus> aniiena, i have no idea
[11:03] <Incarus> strange
[11:04] <aniiena> ahh well, FF works ok
[11:04] <aniiena> he will just have to deal with it being a little slow when he draws
[11:05] <Incarus> aniiena, you can also try "sudo kill 8301"
[11:05] <hmw> aniiena - look at the column "time" of "ps -aux" - it shows, how long a process was running by itself. maybe you find something, that causes too much backround load
[11:06] <Incarus> hmw, i did,
[11:06] <pop79> Incarus: Realplayer for linux actually is opensource, look at the bottom of this page http://www.real.com/unix/download/?action=CheckUpdate&playerVersion=11.0.0.4028&playerName=RealPlayer%2010&playerDistcode=RXEN11L&playerOrigcode=RXEN11L&language=en&operatingSystem=Linux&kernelVersion=2.6.27-12-generic&processorType=i686&distribId=Ubuntu&distribRelease=8.10&distribDescription=Ubuntu%208.10&distri
[11:06] <pop79> bCodename=intrepid&gccVersion=3.4.3
[11:06] <hmw> aniiena - what is the load average, when no app is open? what with FF showing the slow page? (type "uptime")
[11:06] <FloodBot2> pop79: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:06] <Incarus> aniiena got two xorg
[11:06] <pop79> sorry
[11:06] <aniiena> load average: 1.13, 1.32, 1.00
[11:07] <jpds> pop79: tinyurl.com is your friends.
[11:07] <hmw> aniiena - that the load without apps running?
[11:07] <Incarus> no, pop79, real player is based on the open source helix player
[11:07] <pop79> jpds: what is tinyurl
[11:07] <pop79> oh
[11:07] <aniiena> ok after killing 8301
[11:08] <aniiena> it's 0.44, 1.07, 0.93
[11:08] <hmw> aniiena - aha!
[11:08] <aniiena> first number is at time of poll, then over the last 5 minutes and the last 10?
[11:08] <hmw> aniiena - not exactly, but basically like that. i think its average 1minute, 5 and 15
[11:09] <rww> hmw: correct
[11:10] <incubii> hmw, aniiena, it is 1, 5 & 15 minute averages
[11:10] <hmw> aniiena - i am wondering, how 2 xorgs could be running on the same tty
[11:10] <aniiena> no idea
[11:11] <hmw> aniiena - did it speed up FF?
[11:11] <aniiena> could it be that I changed from Xubuntu's desktop to LXDE?
[11:11] <aniiena> without rebooting or restarting x windows?
[11:11] <idioteque> hmw, simple... one xorg got pregnant... and gave birth to another xorg
[11:11] <illumin8> aniiena perhaps creating a new user account created two seperate files for xorg
[11:12] <boshhead> aniiena: how much memory do you have?
[11:12] <aniiena> 1.5 gigs
[11:12] <hmw> idioteque aniiena - i dont know X well enough. idi: you think its due to the change anii just mentioned?
[11:12] <illumin8> if one of them was a root based xorg conf its possible it launched two
[11:13]  * idioteque shakes his head. i dont know anything what you are talking about... :D
[11:14] <idioteque> as far as i know... there could be one, and only one... xorg for a single tty
[11:14] <Gawen> Hi
[11:14] <idioteque> hey Gawen
[11:14] <idioteque> :)
[11:14] <Gawen> I've got a tiny problem with my new Ubuntu 8.10 freshly installed on my computer.
[11:15] <illumin8> aniiena, had xubuntu, if for some reason it created a seperate location for xorg its possible when it was altered to the new desktop gui that another was created. thats all.
[11:15] <aniiena> let me reboot and see if it decides to start two xorg's again
[11:15] <illumin8> although im not sure how that would have happenend without user invervention.
[11:15] <idioteque> aniiena, good idea!
[11:16] <heroin> Hey
[11:16] <Gawen> I'm using a Macintosh keyboard with a French keyboard map, and ubuntu confuse the key "< >" and the key "² ~". My question is how can I reconfigure the keyboard layout (map ?) manually to swap the both key ?
[11:17] <Gawen> I searched on the Internet, but I only found how to change of keyboard language, keymap, etc...
[11:17] <anonusing1> hmm
[11:17] <aniiena> ps aux | grep xorg ?
[11:18] <Gawen> Yes, it exists (uh ^^')
[11:18] <anonusing1> gawen, ya i think there's a way.. just not sure how
[11:18] <anonusing1> gawen, did u try any other french layout options?
[11:18] <Incarus> ha, i think i was right
[11:19] <Gawen> yes, indeed all, and there has all the same problem.
[11:19] <Gawen> anonusing1
[11:19] <aniiena> I've got two Xorg's running again
[11:19] <anonusing1> gawen, sorry, i really don't know how but, i believe there is a way.
[11:19] <Incarus> aniiena, shit
[11:19] <Incarus> aniiena, but now we know the problem
[11:19] <Gawen> anonusing1: I imagine too. I'm going to post a forum message I think...
[11:19] <deany> aniiena, I used to have as well
[11:20] <anonusing1> gawen, ya i would also search something like "remapping keys"
[11:20] <deany> aniiena, whe i was using the repo ATI driver.. Switched to latest from ATI/AMD and there is only 1, and its faster

[11:21] <Incarus> aniiena, can you paste your xorg.0.log
[11:22] <deany> aniiena, did you use the Hardware drivers util in ubuntu to install it?
[11:22] <aniiena> I think so, yes. When I was using the GNOME desktop
[11:22] <skurakai> iaf converter cut mdf iso from 699 MB to 600 MB :( any other way?
[11:22] <dr_Willis> skurakai,  you can convert them to iso - but you may lose any 'special' information on them - IF they are like copy protected games and so forth.
[11:22] <aniiena> uhm, /var/log/xorg.0.log?
[11:22] <skurakai> dr_Willis: i try IAF but ...
[11:23] <Incarus> dr_Willis, and so forth?
[11:23] <deany> well you are using the older repo driver then...
[11:23] <t0r9ad0> deany: yes, i am using non-ose version
[11:23] <Incarus> aniiena, yes
[11:23] <skurakai> no protection think
[11:23] <dr_Willis> skurakai,  thats part of the reason the mdf files are larger - they have exra info in them.
[11:23] <deany> search ubuntuforum there is a guide to install latest from ati

[11:38] <badyto> Incarus: i did that but it cant go fullscreen now :(
[11:38] <illumin8> badyto, if your on 8.10 theres been a few issues with video playback if thats what your asking. Some people suggested trying to install smplayer which didnt seem to have the same problem
[11:38] <hmw> firefox claims, there would be one already running and it cant start therefore. how can i "repair" this?
[11:38] <badyto> illumin8: thx, will try
[11:39] <arckeda_> mosno!
[11:39] <acfrazier> illumin8: What was that link again?
[11:39] <mosno> !seen

[11:41] <aniiena> I believe so
[11:42] <illumin8> aniiena, does it give multiple options with (recomended) following one of them
[11:42] <aniiena> nope, just the ATI/AMD proprietary one
[11:42] <acfrazier> if I install the package "kubuntu-desktop" while running ubuntu, can I switch to KDE?

[11:44] <acfrazier> I'm installing Kubuntu-desktop, so we'll find out
[11:44] <Sajuuk> hey guys I want to access my server from university (its at home) how do i find its 'global' ip so to speak and not its local ip on my network?
[11:44] <angeliunis> this chat is f**ked up
[11:44] <angeliunis> :D
[11:44] <illumin8> aniiena, check this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[11:45] <JoSSeTeSERVER> Sajuuk, search en google  "my ip"
[11:45] <angeliunis> Does someone want to help me with SD ? :DD
[11:45] <incubii> Sajuuk, your external IP address will be assigned to your Router/Modem. You will need to find out what it is on that and allow port forwarding on it to the services you want to access on your server
[11:45] <MAG> hello. is there any programs in ubuntu for MANUALLY controlling the laptop fan?
[11:45] <aniiena> I have no idea what video card is in this system
[11:46] <hmw> illumin8 - in my expirience (4 computers) the OS drivers werent any different regarding to speed than fglrx. What is your exp.?
[11:46] <illumin8> aniiena, type lspci | grep VGA
[11:46] <yogi_> hi there?
[11:46] <hmw> aniiena try "lspci"
[11:46] <piour> irc.Fansub-IRC.eu
[11:46] <Sajuuk> incubii: alright, ssh stuff is port 22 yeah?
[11:46] <incubii> yes
[11:46] <JoSSeTeSERVER> aniiena, in terminal write lspci to view all hardware
[11:46] <yogi_> can only help with ubuntu resolution problems?
[11:46] <chelz1> anyone mind tipping me off to where one might find the ubuntu dictionary files?
[11:47] <illumin8> hmw, you believe its dependant on fglrx?
[11:47] <aniiena> ahh ok, Radeon 9550
[11:47] <chelz1> Sajuuk: by default, but it can be easily changed
[11:47] <incubii> Sajuuk, yes, you will need to port forward port 22 to your internal servers address
[11:47] <illumin8> hmw, if the drivers are updated wouldnt it resolve the fglrx issues?
[11:47] <hmw> illumin8 - well, no. on my machines it wasnt any faster, only different possibilities regarding multi head setup
[11:47] <illumin8> hmw, hmm...
[11:47] <cyzie> has anyone got gtk-gnutella connected?
[11:48] <angeliunis> Does anyone know how to mount SD
[11:48] <angeliunis> ?
[11:48] <yogi_> ubuntu is only recognising 2 resolution modes...
[11:48] <aniiena> sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`
[11:48] <aniiena> sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/volatile/fglrx.ko
[11:48] <aniiena> will that work in intrepid?
[11:48] <cyzie> angeliunis, mount /dev/sdx /mnt/somewhere
[11:48] <Sajuuk> incubii: ok that seems easy i just change my my router stuff for internal between the gateway and the server but what about when I ssh to the server itself?
[11:48] <mollyringwald> booting up ubuntu for the first time and it freezes on startup WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS OH GOD
[11:48] <JoSSeTeSERVER> yofel_, you need instal driver and configure xorg.conf
[11:48] <incubii> wow, rythymbox's random/shuffle is poop. its always plays the same 'random' songs o.O
[11:48] <illumin8> aniiena, hold on, hwm is saying its not going to make a change to your fglrx file which is causing the heavy load.
[11:48] <rage--> true
[11:48] <yogi_> there is nothing in the .conf file either
[11:48] <perlmonkey> ﻿im in fdisk and want to create a partition on my 320GB drive that uses all the space apart from 500MB for swap. Questions: is 500MB sufficient for swap, and if so, how should I specify the last cylinder or +size in disk to use remaining space? system has 1GB of ram
[11:48] <diuneigh> what is the syntax to d/l in terminal?
[11:48] <yogi_> what shold i do?
[11:49] <hmw> mollyringwald real freeze? can you switch to console with CTRL-ALT-F2 ?
[11:49] <t0r9ad0> deany: thanks....it worked
[11:49] <deany> np
[11:49] <hmw> perlmonkey - use at least as much swap as you have ram (suspend, hibernate stuff uses swap)
[11:49] <yogi_> how do i do that?
[11:49] <perlmonkey> diuneigh: download? off the web? you can use wget or use ftp for ftp server
[11:49] <yogi_> do you have any solid links?
[11:50] <t0r9ad0> deany: bye
[11:50] <perlmonkey> hmw: ok
[11:50] <incubii> Sajuuk, You will SSH to the external IP address on the router/modem. It will then forward all the SSH traffic to the IP address of the server. You will need to specify this of course on the Router/Modem. How? i do not know. There will more then likely be a Port Forward option or NAT option. Both should allow you to do this
[11:50] <diuneigh> •perlmonkey• yes off the web.
[11:50] <perlmonkey> diuneigh: wget url
[11:50] <diuneigh> thank you
[11:50] <mollyringwald> hmw just tried it then; nothing. the background is black and the grey loading circle in the middle is the screen is stuck
[11:50] <Sajuuk> incubii ok is ssh traffic tcp or udp? i do not know
[11:51] <hmw> mollyringwald sounds like a real freeze. can be virtually anything. try booting in safe mode (or similar)
[11:51] <nety350> hi all
[11:51] <incubii> Sajuuk, TCP
[11:51] <mollyringwald> recovery mode?
[11:51] <illumin8> aniiena, i really am unsure on how to proceed here. updateing your ati drivers may resolve the problem, then again it may do nothing but give you more control options. im sorry but i should bow out on this.
[11:51] <nety350> anyone have an idea for print many files html in one time?
[11:51] <aniiena> I am just going to kill the second Xorg whenever I reboot
[11:51] <hmw> mollyringwald you could boot in single user mode (ask others for how to) and examine /var/log/Xorg.0.log (single user for not booting X again)
[11:52] <incubii> Sajuuk, this may help you http://portforward.com/
[11:52] <nety350> konqueror --help
[11:52] <nety350> sorry lol
[11:52] <MAG> hello. is there any programs in ubuntu for MANUALLY controlling the laptop fan?
[11:52] <hmw> mollyringwald you could even try to get SSH up for the next normal boot and login from outside. sshd still works often, when you think the box is frozen.
[11:52] <aniiena> thanks for the help guys
[11:52] <perlmonkey> nety350: if you run cupsys there must be a way to pass a command, interesting one
[11:52] <hmw> aniiena - any progress?

[11:58] <Fougner> smev81, wrong charset ?
[11:58] <sven_> Zou have NO szstem account and therefore ubuntu is a scandal
[11:58] <hmw> smev81 - wrong character set in use. probably UTF-8 instead of the windows ISO-something. look into fstab stuff.
[11:58] <hmw> smev81 or mount with the right params.
[11:59] <smev81> okay i try

[12:02] <kristian1> what program do you people use to play .mp3 files, etc with?
[12:02] <bazhang> !players
[12:02] <zash> kristian1: quodlibet
[12:02] <hmw> kristian1 either the usual players (totem, vlc) or xmms
[12:02] <mollyringwald> how do i go about installing it?

[12:05] <lucky711x> bazhang,  where is the right place
[12:05] <mollyringwald> wait what does ssh even do?
[12:05] <bangalibabu> there is a channel named #php-job
[12:06] <bangalibabu> can't remember the network name
[12:06] <illumin8> !ssh
[12:06] <bangalibabu> but you can search on ircsearch.com
[12:07] <mollyringwald> looks like it's used for remote access
[12:07] <mollyringwald> other pc is not connected to a network
[12:07] <hmw> mollyringwald yes. its remote shell access (like the terminal but over ip) - in case your x freezes, you often still can connect from outside and investigate. thats why i recommended it
[12:07] <MAG> hello. is there any programs in ubuntu for MANUALLY controlling the laptop fan?
[12:08] <mollyringwald> see above
[12:08] <mollyringwald> i wouldn't be able to access it
[12:08] <mollyringwald> as it is not connected to a LAN
[12:10] <hmw> mollyringwald too bad, this makes things a little more complicated. can ANYONE ELSE HERE help on how one could get the Xorg log of a crashing boot, when rebooted in recovery mode?
[12:10] <illumin8> mollyringwald, did you run the livecd to install (not the alternate)?
[12:10] <mollyringwald> i ran the alternate, desktop wouldn't load the graphical interface
[12:10] <__ddrx__> MAG, for thinkpads theres tpfancontrol (available at sourceforge.net)
[12:10] <perlmonkey> ﻿im in fdisk and want to create a partition on my 320GB drive that uses all the space apart from 1GB for swap. How should I specify the last cylinder or +size in disk to use remaining space?
[12:11] <hmw> mollyringwald - possibly a GPU driver issue. what GPU do you have?
[12:11] <illumin8> mollyringwald, he beat me to it :)
[12:11] <Incarus> perlmonkey, use gparted

[12:12] <ohletmeinnowjesu> hi guys
[12:12] <illumin8> mollyringwald, you could try booting it in safe mode does grub menu come up?
[12:13] <TanX> can intrepid connect wireless with 64bit wep?
[12:13] <hmw> illumin8 mollyringwald - molly could boot safe mode (right?)
[12:13] <mollyringwald> how do you boot in safe mode, all i see at OS select menu is regular & recovery & memtest
[12:13] <Incarus> TanX, yes
[12:13] <__ddrx__> MAG, dont know, sorry
[12:13] <ohletmeinnowjesu> I have a question with regards to Bluetooth compatibility on a vostro 1400 running intrepid
[12:13] <hmw> mollyringwald we are talking about recovery
[12:13] <TanX> how can i make it so incarus?
[12:14] <mollyringwald> tried, didn't work
[12:14] <quibbler> shavin: look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam
[12:14] <Incarus> TanX, dont know
[12:14] <ohletmeinnowjesu> anyone?
[12:14] <illumin8> hmw,  so its not booting even in vesa?
[12:14] <Incarus> mollyringwald, you have to add failsave mode in grub
[12:14] <illumin8> the default for recovery is vesa right?
[12:14] <Incarus> shavin, streamer
[12:15] <TanX> anyone know how i can connect wireless with 64bit wep in intrepid?
[12:15] <Incarus> illumin8, yes, vga
[12:15] <shavin> streamer?
[12:15] <Incarus> shavin, yes, a tool
[12:15] <dio444> Hi. I'm trying to move users from 1 ubuntu hardy install on an old machine to a new hardy install on a new machine. The new machine MUST be a transparent change to the users (besides being faster that is). I tried copying /home and /etc/passwd /etc/shadow and /etc/group, but the new machine gives a strange error, and doesn't allow admin users access to the GUI admin tools, though sudo access works correctly. Any Ideas what I need to do?
[12:15] <mollyringwald> how do i add failsafe move?
[12:15] <mollyringwald> mode
[12:15] <shavin> okay thanks i shall explore
[12:15] <hmw> illumin8 Incarus i would like to get mollyringwald's Xorg.0.log, but it seems to be somewhat difficult
[12:16] <Incarus> dio444, where are more config files
[12:16] <illumin8> hmw, indeed, if they cant even get in vga its going to be very complicated to see anything.
[12:16] <Incarus> hmw, whats the problem?
[12:16] <acfrazier> How do I completely obliterate kubuntu-desktop and KDE from my computer? I've made a terrible mistake installing it, my distro changed to Kubuntu, I booted back into GNOME, but I want KDE and kubuntu gone.
[12:16] <bazhang> !puregnome | acfrazier
[12:16] <Incarus> acfrazier, and install ubuntu-desktop
[12:17] <bazhang> acfrazier, that is for intrepid
[12:17] <ohletmeinnowjesu> (10:43:43 PM) ooaaooaa: I have a question with regards to Bluetooth compatibility on a vostro 1400 running intrepid
[12:17] <incubii> huzzah! fixed my Rythymbox not shuffling correctly
[12:17] <illumin8> Incarus, mollyringwald is having an issue with the system freezing on a new install, a livecd alternate was used to install it, but no graphics are comming up without freezing, includeing recovery
[12:17] <hmw> illumin8 mollyringwald recovery does freeze, too?
[12:17] <illumin8> hmw, yea
[12:17] <perlmonkey> incarus: thanks for the tip
[12:17] <Incarus> illumin8, do the term work?
[12:18] <Incarus> perlmonkey, np
[12:18] <mollyringwald> the actual dos recovery menu doesn't, but when i try to boot the os through it it freezes
[12:18] <ohletmeinnowjesu> I have a question with regards to Bluetooth compatibility on a vostro 1400 running intrepid, anyone?
[12:18] <illumin8> Incarus, havnt checked with them yet.
[12:18] <Incarus> illumin8, k
[12:18] <dio444> Incarus: I'm not sure what you are asking there. I'm sure the issue is that I need to copy over more config files to make it work, but I don't know what they are. The new machine is totally different hardware from the old, and I don't want to copy too many config files and possibly break something else.
[12:18] <MannyZ> Hello.. I would like to know does PC TV usb work on ubuntu?
[12:18] <perlmonkey> incarus: is that only available for X enviro? I'm working on a remote server thru shell :-/
[12:18] <Incarus> dio444, yeah, dont do this. its difficult
[12:18] <hmw> Incarus illumin8 how to get molly into single user mode for retreiving the log file? how to pastebin it from command line?
[12:19] <Incarus> perlmonkey dont know
[12:19] <illumin8> mollyringwald, your default f10 recovery key wont work that way, when speaking of recovery were talking about the bootup menu known as grub, there would be an option to get it to move to recovery boot instead of the default top line of regular bootup
[12:19] <bazhang> hmw, install pastebinit
[12:19] <rhalff> hi, how do I reconfigure/reinstall the network tools for ubuntu, I tried to make networking work the old way through /etc/nework/interfaces, but there seem to be a new way to configure the network ?
[12:19] <dio444> Incarus: It must be done. The old machine ( a key business machine ) is too slow (celeron 600).
[12:19] <Incarus> hmw, copy it on an external device
[12:19] <shavin> after every synaptic installation i get this: E: linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 17
[12:19] <amikrop> Hello. How can I find the driver my webcam uses?
[12:19] <Incarus> dio444, you could backup the users
[12:19] <amikrop> !webcam driver
[12:20] <hmw> Incarus gah, i cant give instructions blindly for that...
[12:20] <Incarus> hmw, but i can
[12:20] <illumin8> \o/
[12:20] <illumin8> :)
[12:20] <Kaboeshka> hi, I have "load "vnc"" in my xorg.conf, but when I connect with a VNC client to it, nothing happens, anyone can help me with enabling VNC?
[12:21] <dio444> Incarus: sure, I can back them up. But how is that differnet than what I already did when it comes time to restore them to the new machine?
[12:21] <Incarus> mollyringwald, have you got a linux live cd?
[12:21] <mollyringwald> live cd being the standard install?
[12:21] <Incarus> dio444, hm, no idea
[12:21] <perlmonkey> i need to partition my hdd
[12:21] <tjoener> hello everyone
[12:21] <Incarus> dio444, google it
[12:21] <Incarus> perlmonkey, gparted
[12:21] <tjoener> I've seem to have run into a crappy problem
[12:21] <jurism> I have virtualmin/webmin on Ubuntu 8.04SE and it shows that my amd4600+ runs @ 100MHz speed (normally it would be 2400MHz). Is this related to Ubuntu or it is BIOS problem? Thank You! I have only remote access to my server.
[12:21] <perlmonkey> Incarus: it's only available for X enviro and I'm working on a server shell
[12:22] <dio444> Incarus: heh I did. and read for 8 hours before trying what I did the first time. Nobody seems to have the info I needed.
[12:22] <Incarus> mollyringwald, ?
[12:22] <adam7> perlmonkey: try parted
[12:22] <jurism> not 100MHz but 1000MHz
[12:22] <illumin8> mollyringwald, a livecd will give you the option to try ubuntu without making changes to your system.
[12:22] <perlmonkey> adam7: cheers
[12:22] <Incarus> perlmonkey, hm
[12:22] <hmw> bazhang hey thanks - pastebinit is very cool
[12:22] <tjoener> whenever I update my system with a fresh install of hardy AMD64 it says a few packages failed and it wont boot anymore
[12:22] <SexyPony> im trying to get my wireless set up, anyone know how to use 64bit wep in intrepid?
[12:22] <hmw> illumin8 it would probably crash again. i want molly to get into single user mode and use pastebinit
[12:22] <mollyringwald> illumin8 alright, i'll give it a shot
[12:22] <illumin8> mollyringwald, no thats not the end. hes veryfing you have a way in, hang tight.
[12:22] <shavin> Incarus: i installed the streamer but it does not have a GUI does it?
[12:23] <mollyringwald> alright
[12:23] <tjoener> any command I run afterwards it says it cant find the file, so I'm guessing ld.so got screwed up or something
[12:23] <Incarus> dio444, you can copy all the documents and and something like this, and then just add new users to the new machine with the same name
[12:23] <illumin8> Incarus, mollyringwald has a livecd
[12:23] <tjoener> cannot even chroot into my old environment
[12:23] <Incarus> mollyringwald, can you start the live cd?
[12:23] <adam7> tjoener: if you type your problem all on one line it's easier for us to read
[12:23] <Incarus> shavin, no, it dont have, you can google for another app
[12:23] <shavin> thanks
[12:24] <amikrop> How can I find the driver my webcam uses?
[12:24] <tjoener> whenever I update my system with a fresh install of 8.10 AMD64 it says a few packages failed and it wont boot anymore. any command I run afterwards it says it cant find the file, so I'm guessing ld.so got screwed up or something. cannot even chroot into my old environment
[12:24] <Incarus> mollyringwald, do you speak german?
[12:24] <quibbler> amikrop:  look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam   maybe asl say what sort of webcam you have.
[12:24] <perlmonkey> amikrop: best to google for "linux driver" and make/model of camera..
[12:24] <mollyringwald> Incarus not at all
[12:25] <Incarus> mollyringwald, k
[12:25] <mollyringwald> give me a sec, will try the live cd
[12:25] <adam7> tjoener: it might be possible to install the deb for the messed up files on top of the old system without chrooting
[12:25] <dio444> incarus: yeah, that's actually what I'm doing right now, but the problem with that is that there are 78 users who will need to be added, and have their passwords work on first try before I can bring the new system online.
[12:25] <amikrop> perlmonkey, quibbler: Actually, I have a Logitech QuickCam Chat.
[12:25] <hmw> can one use apt-get install in single user mode?
[12:25] <adam7> hmw: don't see why not
[12:25] <perlmonkey> amikrop: find out what chipset it uses with lspci and then search for driver by chipset
[12:25] <Incarus> dio444, yes
[12:25] <perlmonkey> amikrop: that should be supported
[12:25] <tjoener> adam7: how do I do this? I'm on the live CD again
[12:25] <Incarus> illumin8, the system doesnt freeze
[12:26] <maxb> tjoener: *exact* error messages are immeasurably more useful for understanding what's wrong than an outline description of the problem
[12:26] <illumin8> Incarus, sorry? it sounds like not enough grapic capability to me.
[12:26] <illumin8> Incarus, or ram for that matter?
[12:26] <perlmonkey> amikrop: i bought a cheapo unknown cam and it worked right out of the box in Ubuntu feisty
[12:26] <adam7> tjoener: I don't know what file you are missing or what package it's in, but something like dpkg --root /path/to/mounted/broken/system some_deb.deb ought to do it
[12:26] <amikrop> perlmonkey: you mean lsusb
[12:26] <Incarus> illumin8, no, it dont recognize the mouse and the keyboard and the graca
[12:27] <perlmonkey> amikrop: sorry yes
[12:27] <LuXor> guys need help, my ubuntu cannot read KDE.... i have installed it month ago and now it cannot read it

[12:27] <Incarus> illumin8, yes
[12:27] <illumin8> Incarus, im confused. :)
[12:27] <Incarus> illumin8, i know

[12:27] <tjoener> now I need to find out which package failed, and why
[12:28] <adam7> tjoener: or if it is even a problem with a package
[12:28] <amikrop> perlmonkey: What part of this info I should search the Web, with?
[12:28] <LuXor> guys need help, my ubuntu cannot read KDE.... i have installed it month ago and now it cannot read it
[12:28] <Incarus> illumin8, if we've got the xorg log we can say more about
[12:28] <tjoener> adam7: yeah, I think there has to be a serious error int he system somewhere when I trash it by updating...
[12:28] <Incarus>  8-)
[12:29] <illumin8> Incarus, watching and learning :)
[12:29] <tjoener> but I cannot figure out where or why, because 8.10 x86 runs fine, only the AMD64 variant pulls this crap on me
[12:29] <quibbler> amikrop: try: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=200261&package_id=237741&release_id=649807        it works for my logitech pro 4000
[12:29] <hmw> mollyringwald i got a procedure for you. want to try to get your log to a pastebin?
[12:29] <adam7> tjoener: do you have a specific error? all my x86_64 systems work fine
[12:29] <LuXor> someone will help me???????????
[12:29] <amikrop> quibbler: OK. Thank you.
[12:29] <Incarus> illumin8, can ne go to the term with ctrl+alt+f1?
[12:30] <pop79> LuXor: please be patient, if someone can help, they will
[12:30] <tjoener> well, the package installer failed, then it went haywire, could not start terminal or any other program, so now I have to find the error from the live cd
[12:30] <adam7> tjoener: surely it printed some type of error when you tried to start these programs?
[12:30] <Incarus> LuXor, what is the exact error?
[12:31] <skurakai> hi. is in ubuntu some burner with support alcohol image mdf/mds?

[12:35] <pop79> Hey, when i installed ubuntu 8.04, about last year sometime, i think it installed two bootloaders, one for my windows drive (the internal drive) and another for the ubuntu drive (the external drive. Is this meant to happen?
[12:36] <Incarus> pop79, you just need one bootlader
[12:36] <mollyringwald> tried selecting the try option on the live cd and it won't load the gnome display manager
[12:36] <pop79> i know, but it installed two
[12:37] <Incarus> mollyringwald, the try option?
[12:37] <illumin8> Incarus, live mode.
[12:37] <Incarus> mollyringwald, try it with vesa drivers
[12:37] <tjoener> adam7: I can't check environment variables of my installed system from the livecd?
[12:37] <Incarus> illumin8, k
[12:37] <amikrop> quibbler: alright
[12:37] <adam7> tjoener: no, you'll need to boot into the system
[12:37] <hmw> mollyringwald i have a procedure for extracting the xorg log for you - does the machine have internet access?
[12:37] <mollyringwald> not at all
[12:37] <Incarus> pop79, and whats your question?
[12:37] <tjoener> adam7: well, I can't boot into it anymore, that's the problem :)
[12:38] <hmw> mollyringwald gah.... some usb flash disk available?
[12:38] <pop79> Incarus: why did it install two bootloaders?
[12:38] <hmw> mollyringwald or a floppy disk?
[12:38] <adam7> tjoener: and you said you can't chroot into it either?
[12:38] <Incarus> pop79, oh
[12:38] <tjoener> jep
[12:38] <adam7> tjoener: does chrooting give you an error?
[12:38] <quibbler> amikrop: i take it something worked.
[12:38] <Incarus> mollyringwald, do you have got an installed windows?
[12:38] <illumin8> mollyringwald, at the bottom of the screen prior to selecting try option, there are selections, one will say "vesa" you should try running the try option with vesa selected

[12:40] <amikrop> quibbler, perlmonkey: OK, then. Thank you both. :-)
[12:40] <pop79> tjoener: that happened me once, i nearly got banned
[12:40] <Mob[ST]er> Can anyone please tell me how to stop ubuntu from asking me the root password for every single stupid thing I wanna do like Opening a file or a folder
[12:40] <kristian1> i just installed quod libet and want to add all my music from ~/Music. how can i do that, it doesn't want to when i try. :o
[12:40] <tjoener> forgot I was on IRC :s
[12:40] <ehloreverse> i'm search irclogs.ubuntu.com staff
[12:40] <tjoener> but lib64 is not in the root of the installed file system
[12:40] <shavin> i tried camorama but when run it errs ans says 'unable to take picture'
[12:40] <pop79> Mob[ST]er: i wanted to know that as well
[12:41] <hmw> shavin cheese might be able to do it
[12:41] <Mob[ST]er> please tell me it's possible ...
[12:41] <shavin> actually it says 'unable to capture images'
[12:41] <Incarus> Mob[ST]er, pop79, you can change the linux security settings
[12:41] <bazhang> Mob[ST]er, there is no root password enabled; use sudo
[12:41] <ehloreverse> Are you there LjL ?
[12:41] <pop79> Mob[ST]er: anything is possible...
[12:41] <pop79> Incarus: how
[12:42] <ashwiNN> i want to load a module at boot time how do i do that
[12:42] <perlmonkey> hardware particularly USB/cams is a nightmare in Linux, it's very hit and miss. the advice I would give is to check compatibility and driver availability BEFORE you purchase
[12:42] <Mob[ST]er> Incarus: can you tell me how can I do this or where I could get the info ?
[12:42] <hmw> Mob[ST]er you can use sudo for becoming the root user (see man page)
[12:42] <pop79> Incarus: yea, how?
[12:42] <shavin> the thing is camera is working in ekiga. does that mean the driver is fine?
[12:42] <Incarus> pop79, dont know
[12:43] <perlmonkey> well a driver in one dist may not be available or working properly in another
[12:43] <perlmonkey> but generally if it works in one distro it should work in most
[12:43] <pop79> Incarus: tut tut tut.....
[12:43] <adam7> pop79: sudo -i
[12:43] <ashwiNN> i want to load a module at boot time how do i do that
[12:43] <pop79> ok
[12:43] <Incarus> adam7, right
[12:43] <tjoener> adam7: I checked the root of the installed system, but the lib64 folder is missing in its entirety
[12:44] <adam7> tjoener: on my system lib64 is a symlnink
[12:44] <danbhfive_jaunty> shavin: did you say cheese works for you? or not?
[12:44] <adam7> tjoener: a symlink to /lib
[12:44] <perlmonkey> often you can get hardware to work but it requires a degree of fiddling around and hardware may only work partially or not reliably
[12:44] <kristian1> i've just installed quod libet and want to add all my music from ~/Music to the quod libet library. i've tried: Music - Add a folder... - Browsing to the folder - Open. doesn't work. any thoughts?
[12:44] <tjoener> And I think its a symbolic link, so I made one, ln -sv lib lib64
[12:44] <pop79> adam7: worked... sorta
[12:44] <shavin> cheese is working. but the image is veryyy dark
[12:44] <tjoener> but the ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 is missing too
[12:45] <perlmonkey> this is not a problem of Linux or any distro, but rather an unwillingness of manufacturers to provide open source driver support for their hardware
[12:45] <shavin> the pic is much better in ekiga i wish i could click my pic over there in ekiga
[12:45] <tjoener> probably when upgrading libc it went haywire
[12:45] <venu> hi. I am trying to install ubuntu server and configure raid 1. I have 3 disks (all IDE) a 250GGB and an 80GN configured as a master and slave and another 250GB configured as a master.
[12:45] <hmw> shavin - install v4l2ucp
[12:45] <shavin> hmw: okay
[12:46] <venu> ubuntu does not allow me to configure the the second hard disk as for raid.
[12:46] <int256> has any one tried to install parallels in ubuntu 8.10
[12:46] <adam7> tjoener: on my system I have /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
[12:46] <perlmonkey> venu: you drives need to be the same size, unless you're using partitions of equal size
[12:46] <Art4k> whats the problem "error: openssl/ssl.h: No such file or directory" ?
[12:46] <perlmonkey> *your
[12:46] <adam7> tjoener: did you try resymlinking lib64 to lib?
[12:46] <Incarus> Art4k wrong compiled
[12:46] <erUSUL> Art4k: you need the openssl dev package
[12:46] <venu> perlmonkey: yes, I am trying to configure raid1 on two drives of 250gb each :)
[12:46] <tjoener> jep, I did
[12:46] <Art4k> ok
[12:47] <perlmonkey> venu: ok sorry i misunderstood
[12:47] <erUSUL> !raid | venu
[12:47] <venu> perlmonkey: unfortunately, ubuntu does not allow me to see the second hard drive as a raid partition.
[12:47] <shavin> hmw: is it v 4 l 2 u c p ?
[12:47] <tjoener> maybe copy the ld-linux-x86-64... to the root fs /lib?
[12:47] <hmw> shavin yes
[12:47] <Mob[ST]er> bazhang: I use sudo but the thing is, let say I have to edit 10 files ... I don't want to sudo every single file ! How can I do that ?
[12:47] <shavin> it is not there in synaptic?
[12:47] <hmw> shavin a little GUI tool that lets you set brightness and stuff
[12:47] <Incarus> tjoener, you can install the x86 ubuntu
[12:48] <perlmonkey> venu: i had a similiar problem with raid 1 as you, i just gave up in the end I decided it wasnt work the extra layer of complexity in my setup for the redundancy it offered
[12:48] <adam7> Mob[ST]er: sudo EDITOR_NAME file1 file2 file3 file4 file5 etc
[12:48] <adam7> tjoener: did you try resymlinking lib64 to lib?
[12:48] <perlmonkey> *work = worth
[12:48] <shavin> hmw: i mean i cant find it in synaptic. should i try apt-get?
[12:48] <tjoener> adam7: yes I did, but the so loader for x86-64 is missing
[12:48] <venu> perlmonkey: interesting, thanks.
[12:48] <Mob[ST]er> adam7: this is far from beeing effecient .... Thanks for the help but ...
[12:48] <tjoener> adam7: I think libc update screwed it up
[12:48] <Incarus> shavin, no, wont worj
[12:48] <hmw> Mob[ST]er - you can become root with sudo (not only for each single line) - adam7 told you how to
[12:48] <int256> can i upgrade ubuntu 8.10 to ubuntu studio
[12:48] <Incarus> -k
[12:49] <perlmonkey> venu: saying that, I ran soft raid-5 for 5 years without any problems at all in Debian back in the day before SATA when i had 18.2GB SCSI ;-)
[12:49] <adam7> Mob[ST]er: well, I don't know what files you want to edit, but if they all start with the same thing, you can do sudo EDITOR_NAME prefix*
[12:50] <Mob[ST]er> it's unfortunatly not the case ... :S
[12:50] <hmw> shavin - uhm... not sure. i have additional repos, so i cant tell easily. maybe you can get a .deb file for download
[12:50] <adam7> Mob[ST]er: well, then how do you expect the computer to figure it out? just use tab completion and type them in. it won't take long
[12:50] <Mob[ST]er> I tried sudo -i and the opened the files with double clicks and Ubuntu still doesnt let me edit the files
[12:51] <Incarus> Mob[ST]er, you need to be root to edit sys files
[12:51] <Mob[ST]er> I simply want to be able to click on the files I want to edit and "voila"
[12:51] <adam7> Mob[ST]er: just out of curiosity what files are you trying to eidt?
[12:51] <jrib> Mob[ST]er: sudo -i gives you a shell in which all your commands have superuser privileges.  It does not affect your gui environment
[12:51] <Incarus> Mob[ST]er, add a option "edit as root"
[12:51] <Mob[ST]er> hosts, my httpd.conf file, the content of a mysql folder ... etc. etc. etc.
[12:51] <Incarus> Mob[ST]er, do you use nautilus?
[12:51] <int256> i have ubuntu install on my HDD and now using it. i want to install Windows XP on the same partition without uninstalling ubuntu, is that possible ?
[12:52] <hmw> Mob[ST]er - not very reccomendable method is "gksudo nautilus" - but this way you might damage your system easily. use with caution
[12:52] <adam7> int256: yes, but it's difficult
[12:52] <Mob[ST]er> Incarus: no .... and as you can see, I'm very new at this ;)
[12:52] <int256> adam7: how ? pls explain.
[12:52] <adam7> int256: XP will want to be the first primary partition and it will overwrite the boot loader
[12:52] <Incarus> Mob[ST]er, -> hmw
[12:52] <maverick340> how do i remove messages from the outbox queue in evolution ?
[12:52] <int256> adam7: ok
[12:52] <hmw> !grub | int256
[12:53] <adam7> int256: if you have an extra hard drive, you may want to consider backing up your ubuntu system, installing XP, and restoring the ubuntu system
[12:53] <Mob[ST]er> Incarus: hmw ?
[12:53] <hmw> int256 - you will have to let windows destroy grub, unfortunately
[12:53] <Incarus> Mob[ST]er, look at hmw's comment
[12:53] <cooldduuudde> its pretty easy 2 reinstall grug
[12:53] <acfrazier> is x-chat free?
[12:53] <cooldduuudde> *grub
[12:53] <adam7> acfrazier: yep
[12:53] <quibbler> acfrazier: yes
[12:54] <int256> adam7: can i recover the ubuntu bootloader after installing xp
[12:54] <adam7> !grub | int256
[12:54] <hmw> int256 - yes
[12:54] <Mob[ST]er> hmmm... cool app :)
[12:54] <adam7> int256: it's not hard, you just need to follow the link above on a live cd
[12:54] <Mob[ST]er> thanks guys !
[12:54] <tjoener> adam7: I'm trying some stuff here, but when I try to unpack libc6_2.8~20080505-0ubuntu9_amd64.deb it says: "tar: skipping to next header \n tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors"
[12:55] <shavin> have to go. thanks for all the  help guys
[12:55] <tjoener> could my mirror be screwed?
[12:55] <Incarus> tjoener, install the x86 ubuntu
[12:55] <adam7> Incarus: that's not a solution
[12:55] <rdakin> i need to install the sqlite 3 client on my Hardy box, but apt installs 2.8.17 -- is there a way to do this?
[12:55] <int256> ok
[12:55] <tjoener> indeed
[12:55] <adam7> tjoener: try this: dpkg -i --root /path/to/messed/up/install libc6<tab>
[12:55] <Mob[ST]er> ..... I still can't open any files with this
[12:55] <tjoener> rdakin: apt-get install sqlite3 If i'm correct
[12:55] <Incarus> adam7, he got problems with the x46 files, or?
[12:56] <rdakin> tjoener: ty, trying...
[12:56] <adam7> Incarus: I think he just got a bad package
[12:56] <kristian1> i've added ~/Music to Quod Libet library. then i select all tracks and right-click and press edit tags. now how do i remove old tags and replace tags with %artist% - %year% - %album% - %track% - %title%, which all the .mp3's are named as. example: a filenamed - "Bruce Springsteen - 2009 - Working On A Dream - 01 - Outlaw Pete.mp3", remove old tags and add tags according to filename?
[12:56] <int256> i installed ubuntu in ext2 type partition. then how can i install xp there.
[12:56] <jrib> int256: you mean virtualized?
[12:56] <Incarus> tjoener, try "sudo apt-get -f install"
[12:56] <adam7> tjoener: try downloading the deb from a different mirror
[12:56] <int256> jrib: no
[12:56] <tjoener> I'm gonna try that
[12:56] <Incarus> int256, make a new partition with linux
[12:56] <hmw> Mob[ST]er - enter root with "sudo -i" and use nano for editing. but be extremely cautious, a simple typo may mess up your whole sys. always triple check befor hitting enter.
[12:56] <Mob[ST]er> it's unbelivable how complicated it is to do a very very simple task with linux :S
[12:56] <tjoener> I'll be back in a few mins, searching for a mirror
[12:57] <Incarus> tjoener, try "sudo apt-get -f install"
[12:57] <Mob[ST]er> hmw: thanks again .
[12:57] <rdakin> what is the difference between apt-get install FOO and aptitude install FOO
[12:57] <Incarus> np
[12:57] <int256> Incarus: using gparted ?
[12:57] <jrib> Mob[ST]er: you should explain exactly what you are doing
[12:57] <Incarus> int256, yes
[12:57] <Incarus> rdakin, different software
[12:57] <Incarus> rdakin, apt get is better
[12:57] <rdakin> Incarus: same effect?
[12:57] <Incarus> yes
[12:57] <jrib> rdakin: not much nowadays
[12:57] <rdakin> Incarus: ty
[12:57] <int256> Incarus: ok. i which format ?
[12:58] <Incarus> int256, ntfs or fat
[12:58] <Mob[ST]er> jrib: that's the thing , I simply want to open some files and a folder but ubuntu says I don't have the permissions to do it :S
[12:58] <McQueen> hi, i have got a intel centrino 1.6 notebook.... which version can i install? i586 or i386 or an other?
[12:58] <Incarus> int256, then boot the win cd
[12:58] <adam7> !sudo | Mob[ST]er
[12:58] <adam7> !root | Mob[ST]er
[12:58] <cooldduuudde> int256, ntfs is better
[12:58] <Incarus> int256, and install win from the cd (on the right partition)
[12:58] <int256> ok
[12:59] <Mob[ST]er> thanks a lot guys, I'm gonna read all this.
[12:59] <hmw> cool factoid, adam7
[12:59] <Incarus> cooldduuudde, it doenst matter, because windows will part it in ntfs
[12:59] <adam7> Mob[ST]er: as a regular user, you don't have permissions to edit random system files -- you need to be the root user. this is what makes linux secure
[12:59] <McQueen> hi, i have got a intel centrino 1.6 notebook.... which version can i install? i586 or i386 or an other?
[12:59] <jrib> Mob[ST]er: I haven't been following your conversation, but I've seen sudo mentioned a few times.  Running « gksudo gedit /path/to/file » or just « gksudo nautilus » and editing from there shouldn't be difficult.  The point though is that what you are doing should be an *uncommon* thing.  So it shouldn't be a burden to have to type sudo to edit these files
[12:59] <cooldduuudde> incarus, XP can install in fat32 as well
[12:59] <Incarus> McQueen	, i568
[12:59] <hmw> adam7 Mob[ST]er - and it is the reason, why we dont need antivirus software
[12:59] <McQueen> Incarus: thanks
[13:00] <adam7> jrib: earlier he said he is trying to edit httpd.conf, some mysql something-or-other and some other things
[13:00] <Incarus> cooldduuudde, k
[13:00] <Incarus> cooldduuudde, but he have to choose later, because windows should just recognize the partition
[13:01] <cooldduuudde> incarus, agreed
[13:01]  * int256 will be back in 5 mins
[13:01] <adam7> McQueen: there are only two versions afaik --- you need the x86 one
[13:02] <toddoon> does somebody use turboprint, how can i get a key?
[13:02] <bazhang> toddoon, not here
[13:02] <Incarus> McQueen, x64 and x86, you need x86
[13:02] <jrib> toddoon: buy it?
[13:03] <toddoon> why i hace choosen canon ?!!?
[13:03] <jrib> !print > toddoon
[13:03] <cooldduuudde> hmw, there was a google earth problem that i spoke of some time back
[13:03] <hmw> cooldduuudde yea, any news?
[13:03] <jrib> toddoon: my canon printer "just works" after I plug it in and turn on the power.  Check ubottu's links
[13:03] <toddoon> jrib: ok thanx
[13:04] <Atlantes> i just installed ubuntu 64bit, i have a few questions what the best option is to install flash and java, someone knows the answer ^^
[13:04] <tjoener> adam7: you are a hero
[13:04] <cooldduuudde> hmw,i ran it using sudo. it doesn't show any errors but quits as soon as opens
[13:04] <Incarus> Atlantes, yes
[13:04] <adam7> tjoener: you get it?
[13:04] <hmw> cooldduuudde as stated before, some apps dont like to be run as root. cant you run it normally??
[13:04] <jrib> Atlantes: install the "flashplugin-nonfree" package for flash.  Install whatever java you want from the repositories (there's sun and free versions)
[13:04] <jrib> !java > Atlantes
[13:04] <adam7> Atlantes: the best way to do it is to go to a site that needs flash or java and when firefox asks "do you want to install the plugin" click yes
[13:04] <tjoener> jep, I extracted the GOOD downloaded package, cp -av the entire thing over the fs root, then did an install to be nice with -i --root ... and now I can chroot
[13:05] <cooldduuudde> hmw, the problem was when i ran it normally i am getting errors
[13:05] <tjoener> so I think I'm going to edit my mirrors :)
[13:05] <adam7> tjoener: good idea.
[13:05] <hmw> cooldduuudde what ubuntu version do you have?
[13:05] <tjoener> adam7: I thank you for your help
[13:05] <cooldduuudde> 8.10 interpid
[13:06] <Atlantes> jrib, adam7: does that work for 64bit version of ubuntu?
[13:06] <Incarus> cooldduuudde, paste the errors
[13:06] <adam7> Atlantes: yep, I'm using it now
[13:06] <cooldduuudde> hmw Could not create directory:
[13:06] <cooldduuudde> /root/.googleearth/Cache
[13:06] <Incarus> Atlantes, you can install 64 bit plugins
[13:06] <BrixSat> hello friends
[13:06] <cooldduuudde> incarus Google Earth could not write to the current cache or myplaces file location. The values will be set as follows: My Places Path: "/home/akash/.googleearth"
[13:06] <cooldduuudde> Cache Path: "/home/akash/.googleearth/Cache"
[13:07] <hmw> cooldduuudde thats definetively wrong, a user has no business in /root. the german wiki says, that google earth would be broken, and one can get another version... stand by
[13:07] <Incarus> cooldduuudde, "sudo mkdir /root/.googleearth/Cache"
[13:07] <BrixSat> i have an old dlink de-220pct rev-d2 card and cant work with it on my ubuntu server 8.10
[13:07] <GIORGIO_Mx> ciao
[13:07] <cooldduuudde> lemme try it
[13:08] <cooldduuudde> incarus it says the file already exists
[13:08] <Incarus> BrixSat, search in the net
[13:08] <jrib> Atlantes: yes
[13:08] <Atlantes> adam7: flash works, thought that didn't worked with 64bit great :D
[13:08] <hmw> Incarus cooldduuudde - german wiki suggests: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/.googleearth ~/.config/Google
[13:08] <BrixSat> Incarus i have done that
[13:08] <BrixSat> im living in google for 2 houres and nothinhg
[13:08] <Art4k> Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
[13:09] <jrib> Art4k: what are you compiling?
[13:09] <Incarus> BrixSat, most of us (everybody) cant help you
[13:09] <Art4k> hydra-gtk
[13:09] <hmw> cooldduuudde - maybe this helps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleEarth
[13:09] <jrib> !compile > Art4k
[13:09] <BrixSat> Incarus i know but maybe some one had that problem also in the past ;)
[13:09] <adam7> BrixSat: if you give us some idea of what an old dlink de-220pct rev-d2 card is even supposed to do, there might be more help
[13:09] <cooldduuudde> hmw i am not so familiar wid most commands. i understand it will alter permissions. are you sure it will work?
[13:09] <cooldduuudde> ok
[13:10] <jrib> Art4k: you need the corresponding -dev package for gtk+ from the repositories (ie use synaptic or apt-get)
[13:10] <BrixSat> adam7 dlink de-220ptc is an ethernet card
[13:10] <hmw> cooldduuudde absolutely not. never used google earth and just got it from the german ubuntu wiki. try the link i gave you
[13:10] <BrixSat> with old bnc conector and rj45 connector
[13:10] <cooldduuudde> hmw okay thanks man
[13:10] <hmw> cooldduuudde google is your friend ;-)
[13:11] <adam7> BrixSat: have you ever gotten this thing to work in the past in ubuntu
[13:11] <adam7> ?
[13:11] <cooldduuudde> :)
[13:11] <kristian1> im in ex falso right now and i have browsed to ~/Music, and clicked the dir twice so that all songs come up on the right side of the screen. now i want to delete all the .mp3's id tags and retag them according to filename, because the filenames are correct. example: "Bruce Springsteen - 2009 - Working On A Dream - 01 - Outlaw Pete.mp3". so i want to id tag all my mp3 in the following format: <artist> - <year> - <album> - <track> - <title>,
[13:11] <BrixSat> adam7 nope it is virgin to me
[13:12] <adam7> BrixSat: it might be worth a small amount of money to get a new ethernet card -- that said, generally, the older it is, the better supported it is
[13:12] <Incarus> Art4k, why dont you install the hydra deb?
[13:12] <BrixSat> but the store is closed on sunday :p and i was wondering if it could do the job why a new one?
[13:12] <Art4k> i dont know
[13:12] <simon_> hi i use readeon driver and have freeze when using compiz or a game. hard freeze have to press power button. any help?
[13:12] <adam7> BrixSat: it should work if it is just a normal ethernet card
[13:13] <adam7> BrixSat: can you put your lspci in the pastebin?
[13:13] <BrixSat> Adam7 yes it is but it does not work, on /etc/network/interfaces i dont see nothing
[13:13] <cooldduuudde> simon_ you sure you have a gud grafix card?
[13:13] <BrixSat> lspci ok 1 minute
[13:13] <hareldvd> how to install google earth?
[13:13] <hmw> hareldvd https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleEarth
[13:13] <adam7> !googleearth | hareldvd
[13:15] <simon_> cooldduuudde: what?
[13:15] <cooldduuudde> simon_ you gotta have a gud grafix card 2 get all 3d frm compiz
[13:16] <simon_> cooldduuudde: I didnt have freezes before...
[13:16] <adam7> ColdFyre: but not having a good graphics card shouldn't hard lock the computer
[13:16] <Ethan> \jon
[13:17] <cooldduuudde> simon_ hard 2 say. may b you messed up some values in compiz
[13:17] <cooldduuudde> set it all back 2 default simon_
[13:17] <simon_> cooldduuudde: did not change anything in compiz
[13:17] <rfauth> i am trying to use sudo cpufreq-selector -f 1000 to set the cpu frequency. this is not working. i have tried setting governor to userspace first and then setting the freq but it still does not change it. man cpufreq-selector states using -f or --freq= but --freq is an unkown option. any ideas. i am not using the applet because i want this set at boot and options for setting the governor have been removed from the applet
[13:18] <adam7> rfauth: they haven't been removed from the applet, you just need to setuid some binary. also, make sure that the speed you are trying to set it to is a valid step
[13:19] <cooldduuudde> simon_ no idea
[13:19] <rfauth> adam7: you know what, maybe it is not 1000, dang it
[13:21] <rfauth> adam7: heh, 1000000 not 1000
[13:22] <hareldvd> Regarding google earth, those who answered me, Lost contacts due to IRC client crash. Can you refere me again?
[13:22] <dayo2> how do i extract a tar in dir_A to dir_B ?
[13:22] <rfauth> adam7: i did the conversion to mhz not gigahertz
[13:22] <kelvin> ??
[13:22] <erUSUL> dayo2: tar xf file.tar -C dir_B/ afaik
[13:22] <adam7> rfauth: oops :P
[13:22] <kelvin> 咩是
[13:22] <adam7> !cn
[13:23] <dayo2> erUSUL: awesome. thank u! :-)
[13:23] <hareldvd> dayo2: first make sure you know the name of the directory and if it was stored with full pathname. Use tar xvf for that.
[13:23] <hareldvd> dayo2: sorry tar tvf
[13:23] <dayo2> hareldvd: what do u mean?
[13:24] <merlot> I am coming from gentoo where I used "rc-update add ..." to schedule things to start at boot. Whats the Ubuntu equivalent please?
[13:24] <taylor04> im having problem with wireless internet on a dell 1501, have gone through the tutorials trying ndiswrapper etc etc and none of its working, when i try seing the status of my driver it says its disabled, on the top of my labby the wifi light is off and fn + f2 doesnt do anything
[13:24] <adam7> taylor04: what card?
[13:24] <hareldvd> dayo2: if the files were stored with full pathname that is all file names start with a / then no matter where you will be it will extract according to the full pathname.

[13:26] <taylor04> not sure
[13:26] <yinoneh> hi, cannot ssh -X "error in locking authority file". removing .Xauthority doesn't help, the permissions are - me only. any ideas ? Thanks in advance
[13:26] <adam7> taylor04: find out -- use lspci | grep Broadcom
[13:26] <taylor04> rev 1
[13:27] <taylor04>  Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)
[13:29] <KevDog> taylor04: whats the problem?
[13:30] <taylor04> im having problem with wireless internet on a dell 1501, have gone through the tutorials trying ndiswrapper etc etc and none of its working, when i try seing the status of my driver it says its disabled, on the top of my labby the wifi light is off and fn + f2 doesnt do anything
[13:30] <taylor04> im using bcm4311
[13:30] <KevDog> First -- dont use ndiswrapper
[13:30] <KevDog> Let me see what you can use--brb
[13:30] <taylor04> rgr
[13:32] <KevDog> taylor04: What about the b43 driver?
[13:32] <art4k_> How to install GF drivers
[13:33] <BrixSat> adam7 thanks but i wont be able to fix the problem now familiar problem to solve ;) thanks for helping
[13:33] <jrib> art4k_: GF?
[13:34] <taylor04> i installed b44 driver with ndiswrapper at first because i couldnt use the ndiswrapper wiki, so then that didnt work and uninstalled and used a supported one with ndiswrapper, but obviously thats a no go too
[13:34] <KevDog> taylor04: b44?  You mean b43?
[13:34] <art4k_> jrib: i mean geForce
[13:34] <jrib> !nvidia | art4k_
[13:35] <taylor04> nah, i got it from dell, i just did a search on b43 and checked it out, its got linux support already?
[13:35] <taylor04> i feel like an idiot now, let me try that out
[13:36] <diuneigh> I'd like to thank everyone who helped me get ubuntu installed on my machine.. I appreciate your time and generosity..
[13:36] <diuneigh> thanks again!!
[13:36] <KevDog> taylor04: b43 should work if you downloaded the firware independently -- The firware is the actually binary code to power the code.  The reason you have to download the firmware independently is b/c its actually closed source
[13:37] <taylor04> so if i downloaded the firmware idepentdently how would i get it to work with b43
[13:37] <KevDog> taylor04: Correction: power the card
[13:37] <hareldvd> Please, those who helped me regardin installing Google earyh, come again. I lost your info due to IRC client crash.
[13:37] <jrib> hareldvd: just install it from the medibuntu repositories
[13:37] <taylor04> im new to this, where can i get the firmware? do i run it with b43?
[13:37] <jrib> !medibuntu | hareldvd
[13:38] <adam7> !googleearth | hareldvd
[13:38] <jrib> taylor04: have you tried System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers?
[13:38] <KevDog> taylor04: Everything should just work
[13:38] <taylor04> yea jrib
[13:38] <jrib> taylor04: and was there a driver there?
[13:38] <KevDog> jrib -- Nice call on that one
[13:39] <tjoener> adam7: I changed the repositories from be to nl, and everything works fine now. I probably should file a report that they have a corrupt file on their server?
[13:39] <art4k_> In my "System->Administration->Hardware Drivers" no drivers to select...
[13:39] <taylor04> i just tried it, said system error, failed to lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
[13:40] <hareldvd> ubottu: Installed from your link (did before asking you) application crashes.
[13:40] <KevDog> taylor04: do you have synaptic running in the background?
[13:40] <taylor04> i dont know
[13:41] <jrib> hareldvd: ubottu is a bot, talk to the humans
[13:41] <KevDog> taylor04: That errror usually implies you were trying to update packages before and something crashed
[13:41] <dusty> Hey guys I have just installed Ubuntu 8.10 and when I Put a DVD in the drive it does not automatically recognise I put a disk in there and mount it, how do I get it to do that ?
[13:41] <taylor04> yea, i am downloading wine now, ive updated everything and rebooted though
[13:41] <jrib> dusty: is it a commercial dvd with css?
[13:41] <dusty> Yes I bought it from the shop.
[13:42] <Kvitrafn> A movie?
[13:42] <KevDog> taylor04: ?
[13:42] <dusty> I also bought a lovely new monitor so want to test it out
[13:42] <dusty> Yes a Film.
[13:42] <jrib> !dvd | dusty
[13:42] <taylor04> i did all system updates last night and rebooted
[13:42] <io_> New install of ubuntu , sound card not funtioning. request enhancement
[13:42] <hareldvd> the bot is wrong.
[13:42] <hareldvd> Who attends the bot??
[13:42] <dusty> Thank you.
[13:42] <Jack_Sparrow> dusty It works better if you keep your comments and responses all on one line.  it makes it easier to read for all
[13:43] <Kvitrafn> hareldvd, the bot is wrong? how?
[13:43] <JoeLow> do most people use NetworkManager?
[13:43] <Jack_Sparrow> hareldvd We do, what is wrong with the bots response
[13:43] <JoeLow> its just that it seems to be stoping me setting interfaces manually from console?
[13:43] <mobilix> hi to all
[13:43] <dusty> Jack_Sparrow, ?
[13:43] <taylor04> well, if im getting this error message, whats the best way to fix the problem?
[13:43] <Jack_Sparrow> !enter
[13:43] <KevDog> taylor04: Ok so no synaptic or aptitude?
[13:43] <KevDog> JoeLow: WICD
[13:43] <Jack_Sparrow> !aptfix
[13:43] <taylor04> i honestly have no clue man, im new to ubuntu
[13:44] <KevDog> Do as ubottu stated :)
[13:44] <hareldvd> Kvitrafn: Nice to takl to human. Bot is not entirely wrong. only on updated machine as mine. with whatever packages I already have installed, google earth from the bot link crashes. Do you want the error message?
[13:44] <KevDog> Anyone tried the video stuff with pidgin?
[13:44] <Jack_Sparrow> taylor04 that is one of two problems,  another package manager is running, or you need to clear the lock manually after a crash or stopping an upgrade etc
[13:44] <jrib> hareldvd: ubottu gave you more than one link.  Be specific.
[13:45] <adam7> KevDog: pidgin has video stuff?
[13:45] <taylor04> would a reboot clear the lock?
[13:45] <Jack_Sparrow> taylor04 no
[13:45] <JoeLow> KevDog: what is WICD?
[13:45] <Jack_Sparrow> !aptfix
[13:45] <KevDog> adam7: supposedly the mt build (which is like the cvs/svn build) maybe has the capabilities
[13:45] <KevDog> !WICD
[13:46] <hareldvd> jrib: Sorry, thought the first was someone else. The second gave me trouble:  http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html
[13:46] <KevDog> JoeLow: Just an alternative to NWM
[13:46] <jrib> hareldvd: so now be specific about the trouble
[13:46] <JoeLow> ah right,
[13:47] <KevDog> taylor04: run these commands in a terminal: sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock && sudo dpkg --configure -a
[13:47] <hareldvd> jrib: With pleasure. The error: ./googleearth-bin: relocation error: /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libssl.so.0.9.8: symbolBIO_test_flags, version OPENSSL_0.9.8 not defined in file libcrypto.so.0.9.8 with link time reference
[13:47] <dusty> jrib, I have followed those articles but it still does not automatically recognise the disk ?
[13:47] <jrib> hareldvd: remove that.  Use the medibuntu package
[13:47] <JoeLow> should i be able to set my wireless netowkr using "iwconfig eth1 essid "Belkin54g"
[13:48] <taylor04> wait, i just tried the driver manager and its working now, thanks for all the help kevdog and jack sparrow, i appreciate it
[13:48] <KevDog> JoeLow: you are doing a manual configuration for your wireless card.  What do you want to do!
[13:48] <JoeLow> yes, when i do that nothing happens, as if NetworkManager was stoping me?
[13:49] <JoeLow> so i need to startx, then use NetworkManager to access my wireless
[13:49] <KevDog> adam7: Have you tried the mt build?
[13:49] <jrib> dusty: pastebin the output of « apt-cache policy libdvdcss2 »
[13:49] <adam7> KevDog: no, but I might have to
[13:49] <dusty> GUy's why won't it read this DVD??
[13:49] <dusty> ok
[13:49] <KevDog> JoeLow: Are your simply at a terminal right now?  I mean you don't need a gui or really any package if you configure your wireless card manually
[13:49] <zgmf-x20a> hey all, having an issue in evolution, why do all my rss feeds no longer have a window underneath so i can see the material in the feed???
[13:50] <Jack_Sparrow> dusty all dvd's or just the one
[13:50] <JoeLow> yeah im at a terminal
[13:50] <KevDog> adam7: I take it you have compiled things befoe?
[13:50] <adam7> KevDog: a few times :)
[13:50] <dusty> Jack_Sparrow, all.
[13:50] <hareldvd> jrib: Only if I knew how to remove the package installed from  http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html
[13:50] <JoeLow> KevDog: i want to be able to configure my wireless without having to startx
[13:50] <dusty> jrib, http://rafb.net/p/3Cd44L68.html
[13:50] <JoeLow> which is the case at the moment
[13:50] <dusty> Jack_Sparrow, I've tried 4 and neither load.
[13:50] <KevDog> JoeLow: Does running iwlist scan show your network?
[13:50] <dusty> cdxs work.
[13:50] <JoeLow> yes
[13:50] <dusty> Oh and it is  DVD RW
[13:50] <KevDog> adam7: Ok, sorry, no mean to insult you.  Do you need a cookbook?
[13:50] <adam7> dusty: this is a film?
[13:51] <bazhang> dusty, a commercial dvd on dvd-rw?
[13:51] <jrib> hareldvd: read its documentation?
[13:51] <dusty> yes a movie (the escpaist)
[13:51] <adam7> KevDog: no insult taken :) sure
[13:51] <Jack_Sparrow> dusty Stop hitting the enter key...  Complete sentences on one line  Please
[13:51] <dusty> commercial dvd
[13:51] <adam7> dusty: a commercial dvd that ships on a dvdrw?
[13:51] <KevDog> JoeLow: Do you see your netork?
[13:51] <JoeLow> KevDog: yes i do
[13:51] <netsnooper> hallo zusammen
[13:51] <hareldvd> jrib: All you get is a shell script executabe. Do I need to dig into it?
[13:52] <KevDog> JoeLow: Do you have any encryption on your wireless network?
[13:52] <JoeLow> it is unsecure, so should iwconfig eth1 essid "Belkin54G" ...work?
[13:52] <dusty> No its a real dvd that i bought from a shop!
[13:52] <JoeLow> KevDog: no
[13:52] <dbu_> hi, I am using svn 1.4.3, and I have checked out a repository, but when I run svn up it wants me to re-authenticate each time (btw: have run co as user www-data, and want to run up as www-data) how can i prevent re-authentication?
[13:52] <dusty> adam7, ^^
[13:52] <KevDog> JoeLow: Do you want dhcp or a static IP?
[13:52] <adam7> dusty: but you just said it's a dvdrw...
[13:52] <JoeLow> dhcp
[13:52] <netsnooper> gibt es auch einen deutschen chat? und wenn ja wie komme ich dahin?
[13:52] <jrib> hareldvd: google has documentation on its website
[13:52] <adam7> !de
[13:52] <Jack_Sparrow> !de
[13:52] <KevDog> JoeLow: Ok: sudo iwconfig essid "Belkin54G"
[13:53] <KevDog> JoeLow: Then: sudo dhclient eth1
[13:53] <netsnooper> ic/join #ubunutu-de
[13:53] <hareldvd> jrib: Thanks will do.
[13:53] <jrib> hareldvd: you can try shell_script --help  too
[13:53] <JoeLow> KevDog: yes i know, thats what im doing, but it doesnt seem to be joining that network, i thought it was a NEtworkManager problm?
[13:53] <JoeLow> or stoping me setting mine myself
[13:53] <hareldvd> jrib: Thanks. Much better.
[13:53]  * KevDog thinks  is it me or am I the only one who doesnt know adam7?
[13:54] <bazhang> dusty, commercial dvd's never ship on rw, unless it is pirated.
[13:54] <KenBW2> whenever i tranfer music to my phone with ubuntu the atrists' and albums' names don't  show up as they should (for example Even, Evanesce, Evanescence). is this a problem with the transfer?
[13:54] <io_> any hel with my sound card available?
[13:54] <KevDog> JoeLow: What does lshw -C network show about the wireless chipset and driver?
[13:55] <adam7> KevDog: JoeLow: you may have to set the channel too
[13:55] <JoeLow> oh right
[13:55] <adam7> sudo iwconfig eth1 channel 3 or w/e the channel is
[13:55] <JoeLow> maybe i should just disable networkManager
[13:55] <KevDog> adam7: Never had to do that before, although I guess you could
[13:55] <KevDog> adam7: Never had to do that before -- except with aircrack
[13:56] <adam7> KevDog: on some cards you don't have to, on others you do
[13:56] <kernel> : )
[13:56] <adam7> some drivers set the channel from the essid automatically I think
[13:56] <KevDog> JoeLow: I dont think NWM isthe problem.  What error are you getting after the dhclient command?
[13:57] <KevDog> adam7: Do you know of any specific driver types for this -- I main a thread about this topic?
[13:57] <JoeLow> KevDog: nothing, no error, after i do "iwconfig eth1..." i get no error, but it has not joined that netowrk
[13:57] <adam7> KevDog: no, sorry. I don't even remember where I saw that at
[13:57] <KevDog> JoeLow: You do the iwconfig statement followed by dhclient
[13:58] <JoeLow> yep
[13:58] <KevDog> adam7: cool
[13:58] <KenBW2> whenever i tranfer music to my phone with ubuntu the atrists' and albums' names don't  show up as they should (for example Even, Evanesce, Evanescence). is this a problem with the transfer?
[13:58] <JoeLow> but if i do startx and use NetowrkManager, it works, so the driver and everything is fine
[13:58] <adam7> JoeLow: try this: sudo iwconfig eth1 essid my_essid channel 99; sudo dhclient eth1; <-- obviously, replace my_essid with the essid of your network and 99 with the channel number
[13:59]  * KevDog thinks  Is adam7=imdano?
[13:59] <wiijii> Hi guys, is anyone else having issues reverting back to ath5k after the latest update changed wireless to ath9k? If someone has succeeded, could you please help?
[13:59] <adam7> KevDog: I know him, yes. I'm not him though :P
[14:00] <KevDog> adam7: Ok that was just a wild guess!
[14:00] <KevDog> adam7: This pidgin is taking forever to compile
[14:00] <adam7> KevDog: do you have a link to it?
[14:00] <Lasivian> 6cI have compiz installed and want to "tile" windows automatically, but there is no tile option, ideas? thanks
[14:01] <laputa> hi,all
[14:01] <Jack_Sparrow> !ccsm
[14:01] <laputa> Is there any one use jaunty and dpkg got error?
[14:01] <amikrop> How can you check if you have 32bit or 64bit version of Ubuntu?
[14:01] <adam7> laputa: try #ubuntu+1
[14:01] <adam7> amikrop: uname -a
[14:02] <KevDog> adam7: I do, but there was a hack just to let you know.  Not sure if it was the right thing to do, but I needed 3 packages for jaunty's repository on intrepid.  I temporarily added the repository to grab the 3 packages. Not sure if this will lead to breakage?
[14:02] <bazhang> laputa, #ubuntu+1 for that
[14:02] <KrispyQC> salut (tlm)
[14:02] <adam7> KevDog: never can tell for sure, but I've done that before without too much trouble
[14:02] <Jack_Sparrow> KevDog Yes that will lead you to breakage..
[14:02] <adam7> depends on the packages I think
[14:03] <laputa> Is there anyone got dpkg error?
[14:03] <Jack_Sparrow> KevDog adam7 Yes that will lead you to breakage.. Usually at the next upgrade if not now
[14:03] <jrib> laputa: you need to be more specific
[14:03] <bazhang> laputa, wrong channel for jaunty
[14:03] <KevDog> Jack_Sparrow: I know the risk, however I had no choice.  Ive also heard others doing this however -- it was my belief IT MAY lead to breakage.  Try at your own risk
[14:03] <Jack_Sparrow> laputa Ask in the right channel
[14:03] <mm2_sl> hi, anyone know to mount hfsplus iso image in ubuntu ?
[14:04] <mm2_sl> it gives this error
[14:04] <mm2_sl> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
[14:04] <mm2_sl>        missing codepage or helper program, or other error
[14:04] <mm2_sl>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[14:04] <mm2_sl>        dmesg | tail  or so
[14:04] <FloodBot2> mm2_sl: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:04] <KevDog> Jack_Sparrow: Even you then put those packages on hold?
[14:04] <Jack_Sparrow> KevDog it will lead to breakage, just not always instant
[14:04] <laputa> Jack_Sparrow:my dpkg has much error!
[14:04] <bazhang> laputa, this is not for jaunty.
[14:04] <Jack_Sparrow> laputa Go to the right channel as we have asked
[14:04] <KevDog> Jack_Sparrow: What's the workaround then?
[14:04] <Jampiter> Hi
[14:04] <laputa> Jack_Sparrow:and I can't startx.
[14:05] <Jampiter> How do I write a bootable .img image to a floppy?
[14:05] <adam7> Jampiter: dd if=image.img of=/dev/floppydrive
[14:05] <adam7> Jampiter: I think the drive is something like /dev/flx but I don't remember for sure
[14:05] <Jampiter> adam7: Thank you :)
[14:06] <KevDog> adam7: here is the link -- the last couple of pages talk about the mt portion.  I guess based on the above, try at your own risk:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=975783
[14:06] <adam7> Jampiter: and use the dd command with care -- it can destroy your system if you point it at the wrong device
[14:06] <tomp> on hardy 8.04, i cant copy a 4.2g file with MC, then i saw i coudnt do it with Nautilus 2.22.2. i'm tryong cp right now. it reports the fiee is too big on 3 different partitions, all way bigger than 4.3. cp jusyt failed 'file too large'
[14:07] <Jampiter> adam7: ...ok, how do I find out my floppy drive for SURE? Mount?
[14:07] <adam7> Jampiter: if it is mounted, sure
[14:07] <Jampiter> adam7: I don't think it's mounted.. it's not showing up, anyway. How can I mount it?
[14:07] <KevDog> adam7: The packages I needed to grab from jaunty were the following: libgstfarsight0.10-0 libgstfarsight0.10-dev gstreamer0.10-plugins-farsight
[14:08] <quibbler> tomp: what file system are the partitions?
[14:08] <Craige_> Hey guys. I need a hand with a few things. First one being that by Ubuntu 64bit is running hot (can get upwards of 80C)
[14:08] <Jampiter> !mount
[14:08] <Jampiter> ...
[14:09] <Craige_> It's rediculious.
[14:09] <adam7> Jampiter: you can also do ls /dev/f?0 which should show you
[14:10] <adam7> KevDog: actually my laptop is upgrading to jaunty as we speak so I might try it on there
[14:10] <Lasivian> I have compiz installed and want to "tile" windows automatically, but there is no tile option, ideas? thanks
[14:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Lasivian I linked ccsm for you earlier, did you get and install that yet
[14:10] <Jampiter> adam7: It says "bash: /dev/fb0: Permission denied" IS fb0 right then?
[14:11] <KevDog> adam7: When I need to hack packages -- had to do this before -- sometimes I wish I was running Arch
[14:11] <Lasivian> Jack_Sparrow: sorry, I must have missed your message
[14:11] <tomp> quibbler i just used fdisk to see 'linux' 83   how can i chck the fs?
[14:11] <Jack_Sparrow> !ccsm
[14:11] <KevDog> Jack_Sparrow: Any proposed workaround?
[14:12] <Jack_Sparrow> KevDog No idea what you were working on, but adding jaunty repos,, isnt an answer
[14:12] <adam7> Jampiter: fb is not correct
[14:12] <Jampiter> adam7: I tried dd with fb0 and it says it wrote it, but.. ah, It's not correct
[14:12] <adam7> Jampiter: It should be either fd0 or fl0
[14:12] <quibbler> tomp: how are they formated ext3 ntfs fat??
[14:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Jampiter fd0 is normal
[14:12] <adam7> Jampiter: fb might be a framebuffer or something
[14:12] <KevDog> Jack_Sparrow: How do I get newer packages that are not in the repository because they are needed to compile from source?
[14:13] <Jampiter> adam7: It did make the right hand side of the sceen fuzzy for a second
[14:13] <Jampiter> Jack_Sparrow: I'll try that
[14:13] <Jack_Sparrow> KevDog Chasing dependencies is up to you when installing from soureces ourside the supported repos
[14:13] <tomp> quibbler: ext3 i th9nk, but how do i check? fisk gave lame 'linux' answer
[14:13] <adam7> Jampiter: that's probably what it was then
[14:13] <Craige_> Anybody?
[14:13] <Jampiter> adam7: Will that have harmed my computer?
[14:13] <taylor04> kevdog: i activated the b43 drivers and got the wifi light on my labtop on, rebooted, on the connection tab on the top right wireless stuff is all grayed out so i cant use it
[14:13] <adam7> Jampiter: shouldn't
[14:13] <KevDog> Jack_Sparrow: Hmmm, I guess that is an answer, but I'm sure others have had this problem before.  Any proposed strategies?
[14:14] <kristian1> hey! all my music is stored in ~/Music and is named according to this example: "Bruce Springsteen - 2009 - Working On A Dream - 01-14 - Outlaw Pete.mp3". the "-14" indicates how many tracks are on the specific album. the tagging of these mp3's are wrong, so i want to remove all mp3 tags/album art/all the additional information, and then retag the album according to the mp3 filename format: <artist> - <date> - <album> - <tracknumber> - <tit
[14:14] <adam7> KevDog: maybe apt-get source from a jaunty package and then recompile for intrepid?
[14:14] <KevDog> taylor04: I take it you are using the gui
[14:14] <quibbler> tomp: if they are ext3 then you should be able to copy also ntfs but not if they are fat (windows)
[14:14] <Jampiter> adam7: Ok, that's a relief. I'm trying it with fd0 and it says Permission denied. How do I grant it permission? Would sudo work?
[14:14] <Jack_Sparrow> KevDog stick with supported repos and be safe..  Learn to compile, run dual boot so you can have a system for testing and always have a backup
[14:15] <adam7> Jampiter: you'll need sudo
[14:15] <taylor04> yea
[14:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Jampiter sudo
[14:15] <KevDog> adam7: I thought about that, but then started chasing dependencies -- need to compile gstreamer -- then needing to compile another package --
[14:15] <Jampiter> adam7 & Jack_Sparrow: Thanks
[14:15] <adam7> KevDog: I see where that is going
[14:16] <KevDog> adam7: You catch my drift :)
[14:16] <Jampiter> adam7: It says it's done it again, but there was no activity from the floppy drive and it was very fast
[14:16] <adam7> Jampiter: how big is the image you're trying to write?
[14:17] <Jampiter> adam7: 1.4 MB
[14:17] <tomp> quibbler: i have copied 3.8g filles ( dvd imgs) from these partitions to XP NTFS partitions andd vicversa, i hit a snag on this, the largest of the at 4.2G.
[14:17] <KevDog> Jack_Sparrow: I do know how to compile.  Thanks for the advice anyway.
[14:17] <taylor04> KevDog: yes im using the gui
[14:17] <adam7> Jampiter: yeah, you would have noticed that
[14:18] <quibbler> tomp: is the drive full?
[14:18] <Jampiter> adam7: I'll try it with fl0
[14:18] <KevDog> taylor04: So gui is greyed out.  Do you know how to use CLI to test things?
[14:18] <adam7> Jampiter: don't
[14:18] <adam7> Jampiter: fl0 is incorrect, it's fd0 you need
[14:18] <taylor04> KevDog: Ill google it
[14:18] <Jampiter> adam7: Ok
[14:19] <KevDog> taylor04: Now you are thinking, but perhaps your /etc/network/interfaces file has some entries inside this file thay may need to be deleted
[14:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Lasivian Install ccsm  sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager Next go to system...pref..advanced desktop effects....

[14:20] <taylor04> KevDog: hehe, im not afraid to help myself, ive spent a day on this with no luck though. I'm new to linux so im not sure what all i need and dont need or even about going how to do it
[14:21] <Lasivian> Jack_Sparrow: yes, got all that working so far, but I didn;t see any option to force windows to tile
[14:21] <hikenboot> can anyone explain to me why when i take snapshots of my system I only see one snapshot listed under lvdisplay. is there another command to see the full list of snapshots
[14:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Lasivian /join #Compiz for details on setting up and using compiz
[14:21] <Lasivian> k
[14:21] <KevDog> taylor04: About 2 years ago  I ws like you.  I had a working system quickly, but it took about 1 month to become comfortable with things.  Knowledge of using the command line really helped, and I had had that from college
[14:22] <KevDog> I about got thrown out of the forums last night!
[14:23] <taylor04> KevDog: im willing to learn but this wifi thing is killing me!
[14:23] <KevDog> taylor04: Can you use the command line at all?  Its very easy to troubleshoot things using the CLI
[14:24] <Copper> Hello, how do i enable opengl support with nvidia drivers?
[14:24] <taylor04> KevDog: i can copy and paste, haha
[14:25] <Igramul> Copper: System -> Administration -> Hardware driver
[14:25] <KevDog> taylor04: You might be in luck since with the gnome-terminal you can cut and paste commands into the terminal
[14:25] <taylor04> yep, i have been all day
[14:26] <KevDog> taylor04: Open a gnome terminal up for me just for kicks!
[14:26] <HSO_SadiQ> any other yahoo messenger like app besides pidgin,gyache and kopete for 8.10 ???
[14:27] <taylor04> KevDog: ok
[14:27] <KevDog> taylor04:  A few things. I just want you to look at things
[14:27] <McQueen> i downloaded ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso then i sent it to winmd5sum.... there are 2 text box. md5 sum text box is 24ea1163ea6c9f5dae77de8c49ee7c03 and compare text box is empty... so what do i have to do now?
[14:27] <KevDog> taylor04: do lspci -nnm and then look at the output.  Don't get freaked out.  Find your wireless chipset and tell me what it is
[14:28] <geirha> !md5sum | McQueen
[14:29] <taylor04> KevDog: i wont freak out, getting used to this, hehe "Network controller [0280]" "Broadcom Corporation [14e4]" "BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN [4311]" -r01 "Dell [1028]" "Device [0007]"
[14:29] <KevDog> taylor04: lshw -C network -- Find your chipset and tell me what driver is listed
[14:30] <adam7> 4311 rev 1 is supported by b43
[14:30] <KevDog> adam7: I'm liking that new openfwwf driver
[14:31] <mjbraun> I'm a bit confused. I'm trying to recreate kernel 2.6.22-14-generic, but I can't figure out the naming conventions. If I do "git tag | grep Ubuntu*" I get options like Ubuntu-2.6.22.[41-53]. How do I know which version was used to create the stock kernel?
[14:31] <AlanJenkins> HSO_SadiQ: you could try empathy
[14:31] <KevDog> taylor04: It should say like driver=b43-pci-bridge
[14:31] <AlanJenkins> HSO_SadiQ: http://live.gnome.org/Empathy
[14:31] <taylor04> b43 driver
[14:31] <taylor04> yep
[14:31] <Jack_Sparrow> !kernel > mjbraun
[14:31] <taylor04> just found it hehe
[14:32] <KevDog> taylor04: Cool -- now if you do a  - iwlist scan - do you see networks
[14:32] <adam7> KevDog: should do sudo iwlist scan otherwise it'll just give you the cached results
[14:33] <taylor04> lo        Interface doesn't support scanning.
[14:33] <taylor04> eth0      Interface doesn't support scanning.
[14:33] <taylor04> wmaster0  Interface doesn't support scanning.
[14:33] <taylor04> wlan0     No scan results
[14:33] <taylor04> pan0      Interface doesn't support scanning.
[14:33] <FloodBot2> taylor04: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:33] <Madsy> I want to make a video of some slides and post to YouTube. Any recommendations for video software I could use? OpenOffice doesn't seem to support avi as a container format.
[14:33] <Jack_Sparrow> !paste > taylor04
[14:33] <taylor04> sorry!
[14:33] <taylor04> dont kill me, please!
[14:33] <Incarus> hm
[14:33] <Incarus> taylor04, whats the problem?
[14:34] <KevDog> taylor04: Dont post the results -- Just look -- A lot of this is thinking about the output:  sudo iwlist scan
[14:34] <dayo2> what is the command line path to Trash?
[14:34] <taylor04> i flooded, lol
[14:34] <Jack_Sparrow> !trash
[14:34] <taylor04> KevDog: same thing
[14:34] <dayo2> Jack_Sparrow: thanks! :-)
[14:34] <mjbraun> Jack_Sparrow: Yes, I've gone through those steps, and I'm trying to identify why certain older kernels work on my system, but not newer ones (see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4482542 )
[14:35] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[14:35] <adam7> taylor04: the wireless card is on, the switch on the laptop is on, too, right?
[14:35] <adam7> an amazing number of people run into trouble because their switch was accidentally off
[14:35] <Jack_Sparrow> mjbraun What isnt working with the stock kernel from ubuntu
[14:35] <KevDog> taylor04: Ok now examine your system log files.  Do a dmesg | less - use the space bar to advance to the next page.  Do you see any errors about the b43 stuff. Just read them slowly --
[14:36] <Incarus> taylor04, if the device is not under /dev/ it the device or driver dont work
[14:36] <sutris> hy
[14:36] <mjbraun> Jack_Sparrow: Essentially, versions over 2.6.22-14-generic won't boot on properly with my SCSI 200 disc CD changer attached
[14:37] <cooldduuudde> guys what exactly improves wen you upgrade kernel?
[14:38] <KevDog> Incarus: My device wlan0 isnt listed in /dev
[14:38] <Jack_Sparrow> mjbraun Interesting..  but not surprising..  try /join /kernel
[14:38] <InterNut> OS ubuntu 8.10 problem: Deluge only gives me "Segmentation fault"... help?
[14:38] <Incarus> KevDog, k, driver doesnt work / it don't got a driver
[14:38] <mjbraun> Jack_Sparrow: Ok, I'll check in with those folks. Thanks!
[14:39] <KevDog> Incarus: Unclear -- my wlan0 interface works perfectly and I dont see it under /dev unless I'm looking in the wrong place (which I probably am!)
[14:41] <raboof> the livecd, if i remember correctly, has a 'install to harddisk' feature.
[14:41] <raboof> can i also invoke that from a 'normal' installation?
[14:41] <raboof> I'm running from a USB disk and would like to install ubuntu on the harddrive
[14:43] <Jampiter> adam7: It's worked now, thansk for your help earlier :)
[14:43] <Rods_Tiger> on my usb memory livecd stick usb thingy, it boots then leaves me at a command prompt. What's wrong?
[14:44] <zgmf-x20a> hey all, can i setup text specific coloring somehow?
[14:44] <adam7> Jampiter: gald you go it
[14:44] <Incarus> Rods_Tiger, the graca driver doesn't work
[14:45] <Rods_Tiger> Incarus: ah. So what should I do?
[14:46] <Incarus> the quy with the network card: try ndiswrapper, try "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" and print the output. Which Ubuntu and which kernels version you got?
[14:46] <zgmf-x20a> hmm ok, more explaination.  currentyl my theme is DarkRoom.  BUT in evolution, with RSS feeds, the text is white for somereason, how do i change it to be black??
[14:46] <echo_> Hey, I dunno if anyone can answer this, but the Ipod software that comes stock with Ubuntu screws up the song index and after I put a song on there it says there are no mp3s anymore..
[14:47] <pescador9> io
[14:47] <echo_> I have to go back to windows and throw an mp3 on there and then the index is back
[14:47] <Incarus> Rods_Tiger, mount your stick and edit "/etc/X11/Xorg.conf" and change graca driver to "vesa"
[14:47] <BobPenguin> Hello guys. All of a sudden my my ubuntu 8.04 does niot recognize the numeric keypad of my keyboard. All other keys are ok but the numeric pad. I tried to change the keymap to no avail. Any hints on how to solve this?
[14:48] <taylor04> kevdog: sorry about that kevdog, my internet was acting up, i get a lot of problems in china...:(
[14:48] <hikenboot> is there a command besides lvdisplay to see a series of snapshots of an lvm volume or does lvcreate overwrite the snapshots that exist with the new one? thanks for all your help
[14:48] <jshipp> bob, turn your numlock on...
[14:48] <Incarus> KevDog: try ndiswrapper, try "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" and print the output. Which Ubuntu and which kernels version you got?
[14:48] <KevDog> taylor04: just check dmesg | less and see if you have any errors
[14:48] <magnetron> BobPenguin→ did you push the "num lock" button?
[14:48] <dusty> Hey guys I am using Ubuntu 8.10 with Gnome and dual monitor setup.  I purchased a commercial DVD (The Escapist) to test out my monitor and graphics card... got a HD tv/pc monitor (Samsung).  WHen I put the DVD in the dvd drive, nothing happens, I try going to places->removeable media -> cdrom/dvd drive.. but again nothing happens.. I have installed the neccessary dvd packages what am I doing wrong ?
[14:49] <BobPenguin> yes magnetron
[14:49] <BobPenguin> I tried both with the numlock on and off magnetron
[14:49] <KevDog> Incarus: Why do I need to restart networking?  I have 2.6.27-11
[14:49] <tomp> is there a 4G file size limit in ext3? in ISO?
[14:49] <mikewu> BobPenguin: does pressing the numberpad keys move the cursor or anything else?
[14:49] <bazhang> dusty, this is the dvd-rw you referenced earlier?
[14:49] <echo_> ANyone? Maybe I should try other software?
[14:49] <taylor04> kevdog: as far as i can tell no errors
[14:49] <jshipp> BobPenguin: is it only affecting the command line, or gui too?
[14:49] <KevDog> Incarus: Ndiswrapper -- yeck
[14:49] <Incarus> KevDog, because of the output
[14:49] <raboof> is 'ubiquity' the application that installs to the harddisk?
[14:49] <bazhang> dusty, as has been mentioned, commercial dvds dont come on dvd-rw
[14:49] <gmorrison> hey guys, just installed ubuntu 8.10 last night (first time ever) and i got my drivers done, but all my music seems especially quiet, dvd's  also, any ideas? is there a mixer sort of thing in ubuntu where i can turn everything up?
[14:50] <echo_> I know Ubuntu is free, but it always seems like such a battle to get even the simplest of things to wokr some time
[14:50] <Richaee> raboof:ubiquity is the installer...
[14:50] <Incarus> echo_, ubuntu is crap, use opensuse
[14:50] <BobPenguin> nope mikewu. jshipp it does affect the GUI
[14:50] <raboof> Richaee: i have ubuntu installed on an usbdisk but want to install it on the harddrive. sounds like ubiquity is what i'm looking for then, no?
[14:51] <KevDog> taylor04: Ok try this each command on a new line:  sudo ifconfig wlan0 down  - sudo rmmod b43  - sudo rmmod ssb -- sudo modprobe b43 -- sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[14:51] <jshipp> BobPenguin:  tried rebooting yet?
[14:51] <zgmf-x20a> ok, in evolution, when using rss-evolution, how do i set the text color in the rss feeds in the bottom right window??
[14:51] <Incarus> i have to go
[14:51] <BobPenguin> magnetrons, jshipp and mikewu, I did reboot already to no avail
[14:51] <Richaee> raboof: There should be an install icon on ur desktop??
[14:52] <mikewu> tomp: 16 GiB max file in ext3, 4 GiB in iso
[14:52] <raboof> Richaee: no, the installation on the usbdisk is basically a normal, full-blown installation, not the livecd iso
[14:53] <Richaee> raboof: ubiquity gets delted after installion
[14:53] <taylor04> ok did that kevdog
[14:53] <tomp> mikwu, i made a 4.2G iso with bchunk, what to ddo?
[14:53] <Richaee> raboof: You may be able to install it again in synaptic, i dont no
[14:53] <raboof> Richaee: looks like it
[14:53] <Incarus> KevDog or taylor04 (the person with the problem): the wlan0 SHOULD NOT be in /dev!
[14:53] <tomp> mikewu, i made a 4.2G iso with bchunk, what to do? orig dvd is gone
[14:54] <adam7> tomp, mikewu: max file size is 16 GiB – 2 TiB on ext3 according to wikipedia, I don't know how you know what it is though
[14:54] <Richaee> raboof: ive checked ubiquity is available from the repo's ... sudo apt-get install ubiquity
[14:54] <raboof> hmm, 'ubiquity: debconf: DbDriver "targetdb": could not open /target/var/cache/debconf/config.dat'
[14:54] <raboof> indeed i dont have a /target
[14:54] <BobPenguin> magnetrons, jshipp and mikewu, should I just buy a new keyboard? I would like to be sure its the keyboard and not the OS...
[14:54] <KevDog> taylor: type dmesg on the command line, and then you may need to scoll up but look sections in regards to b43-phy0: Loading firmware -- or something like thiat
[14:54] <adam7> tomp, mikewu: ah, it depends on block size
[14:54] <KevDog> Incarus: I know -- I told you that before!
[14:55] <Incarus> KevDog, ok, i was off
[14:56] <Richaee> raboof:U wudnt jus do a fresh install from a livecd??
[14:56] <Incarus> taylor04, try "iwconfig"
[14:56] <raboof> Richaee: i guess i could do that, but it's a hassle :)
[14:56] <adam7> taylor04: you did install the firmware with the Hardware Drivers window, right?
[14:56] <raboof> (download iso, find cd, blah blah)
[14:56] <taylor04> yes adam
[14:56] <Incarus> raboof, you cant install ubuntu from the live cd
[14:56] <tomp> adam7 mikewu, well cdrecord burned the .iso and didnt complian, it mounts and looks ok, now off to XP to see if that other os can see it
[14:56] <KevDog> adam7: I hoping dmesg may clarify some things!
[14:57] <el-perrillo> hi everybody, does anybody know how to make the vpn client work in intrepid???
[14:57] <taylor04> kevdog: i could only find b43-phy1 stuff it says radio hardware status changed to disabled
[14:57] <orbisvicis> libc6 depends on beloc and beloc depends on libc6, how can I use dpkg to install their debs ?
[14:57] <Richaee> raboof: i know, i think u can mke a livecd from ur install tho?
[14:57] <adam7> taylor04: check the switch on your laptop and make sure it is on?
[14:57] <taylor04> incarus: iwconfig and then what?
[14:58] <Richaee> raboof: 8.10???
[14:58] <Incarus> taylor04, without parameter
[14:58] <tktk> hi all - is there any way to take a default 8.04 install and remove all the GUI stuff from it (i.e. turn it into more of a "server" install)? leaving X intact but no gnome, evolution, firefox etc.
[14:58] <taylor04> adam7: its on
[14:58] <taylor04> adam7: wifi light is on
[14:58] <KevDog> taylor: Disabled -- means nothing else is going to work.  Really examine the dmesg file -- Are there any other clues contained in dmesg to help you -- we are getting somewhere know!
[14:59] <adam7> taylor04: ok, good. how many access points are within range of your computer?
[14:59] <Incarus> tktk, yes, but use ubuntu server edition
[14:59] <taylor04> incarus: what do you mean without parameter
[14:59] <Incarus> taylor04, just iwconfig
[14:59] <adam7> tktk: why do you need X if you remove all the programs that use it?
[14:59] <taylor04> incarus: done
[14:59] <tktk> Incarus: I've already got a (rather difficult to configure) machine set up as 8.04 desktop - would rather not have to reinstall it.
[14:59] <Incarus> donno
[14:59] <el-perrillo> Does anybody know how to make a pptp VPN connection work in intrepid???
[15:00] <taylor04> adam7: several, and i know they work for a fact
[15:00] <adam7> tktk: just open the package manager and start removeing
[15:00] <tktk> adam7: occasionally want to VNC into it
[15:00] <Incarus> el-perrillo	, google, we dont know
[15:00] <KevDog> taylor04: Examine dmesg again!!! There are clues in this file about what is not working
[15:00] <victoria> hello guys, i need help installing something... i try so hard but i was not able to
[15:00] <el-perrillo> I have tried everything but nothing seems to woork, I am desperate, I've spent 3 days allready on this thing
[15:00] <tktk> adam7: isn't there a way to remove everything that the "ubuntu-desktop" package brings with it?
[15:00] <Incarus> victoria, k
[15:00] <hlm> !ask | victoria
[15:01] <adam7> tktk: probably, but I don't know what it is
[15:01] <KevDog> taylor04: Or just do the following to limit the output  --- dmesg | grep b43
[15:01] <Incarus> el-perrillo, you have to add a new rule to iptables
[15:01] <tktk> adam7: thanks
[15:01] <el-perrillo> Icarus, how do I do that?
[15:01] <Incarus> el-perrillo, find it out
[15:01] <victoria> Incarus: can you send me a private?
[15:01] <taylor04> kevdog: i think i got it maybe, i installed b44 with ndiswrapper before, and i went up, right now my wireless card is running off of b44 eth0 instead of b43, maybe software conflict
[15:02] <el-perrillo> ok, thanks
[15:02] <adam7> taylor04: b44?
[15:02] <adam7> taylor04: get rid of ndiswrapper
[15:02] <taylor04> adam7: windows driver
[15:02] <tomeo> Will Ubuntu be able to access a drive formatted in hfs+?
[15:02] <adam7> taylor04: try this: sudo rmmod ndiswrapper; sudo rmmod b43; sudo modprobe b43;
[15:02] <KevDog> taylor04: sudo rmmod ndiswrapper
[15:02] <Mendig0> hola
[15:02] <KevDog> taylor04: Then dmesg|grep b43
[15:02] <Mendig0> español?
[15:03] <Incarus> Mendig0, english
[15:03] <adam7> !es
[15:03] <Mendig0> gracias
[15:03] <taylor04> b43phy1 status changed to enabled
[15:03] <KevDog> taylor04: b44 is a wired driver -- b43 is a wireless driver -- quit confusing the two.
[15:03] <taylor04> got it!
[15:03] <taylor04> let me try to boot up a wireless connection
[15:04] <adam7> taylor04: iwlist scan works now?
[15:04] <KevDog> taylor04: Hold on!!!! In dmesg: What firmware version are you loading?
[15:04] <taylor04> no scan results...
[15:04] <el-perrillo> Yo hablo espanoel

[15:05] <KevDog> taylor04: It should say something like b43-ph0: Loading firware version...  or something like that!
[15:06] <taylor04> kevdog: b43-phy1: loading firmware version 410.2160
[15:06] <kennyyu> would it be difficult to do ssid scanning if not using network-manager?
[15:06] <Incarus> Guest95765, try "sudo dhclient3"
[15:06] <Garepjotr1> hi guys.. anyone experience with ubuntu 8.10 + broadcom wireless?
[15:06] <Guest95765> thanks ill do that
[15:06] <KevDog> taylor04: good, now look at ifconfig, is a wlan0 interface shown?
[15:06] <n8tuser> kennyyu-> nope, use sudo iwlist wlan0 scan  in cli
[15:06] <Myxb> Garepjotr1: what chip?
[15:07] <dusty> anyone?#
[15:07] <taylor04> kevdog: yet

[15:07] <Garepjotr1> rev 02
[15:08] <el-perrillo> Has anybody been able to connect to a pptp VPN using Ubuntu intrepid?
[15:08] <BobPenguin> magnetrons, jshipp and mikewu, problem solved! ---> preferences ----> keyboard ------> mouse setting: uncheck "alloe to control the pointer using the keyboard"
[15:08] <KevDog> taylor04: Does lshw -C network show anthing funny under the wireless section like Disabled?
[15:08] <Garepjotr1> i'm connected to the wireless but any ping to the gateway or beyond says network unreachable
[15:08] <Myxb> Garepjotr1: i have bcm4328. works out of the box.
[15:09] <metajemo> i've been trying to access to a remote machine using remote desktop. unfortunately i think it is configured to ask for confirmation and that's the reason not to connect to it.i have a ssh access.does anybody know if there's such a think like a configuration file for it,where is it and how to modify it?
[15:10] <KevDog> taylor04: In fact can you use pastebin to show your lshw -C network?  Google for pastebin -- cut and paste your output, and then just post the link here!
[15:10] <taylor04> kevdog: nwireless sections is ok
[15:10] <taylor04> one second
[15:10] <mikewu> metajemo: what remote desktop program is running
[15:11] <metajemo> mikewu:vncviewer
[15:11] <hikenboot> never mind figured it out ls /dev/<Volume name
[15:11] <taylor04> kevdog: http://pastebin.com/m12dbd3d
[15:13] <el-perrillo> Has anybody been able to connect to a pptp VPN using Ubuntu intrepid?
[15:13] <KevDog> taylor04: Looks good -- and sudo iwlist scan does not show anything?
[15:13] <mikewu> metajemo: my mistake, what is the remote machine running? vncviewer is a client program
[15:13] <oCean_> el-perrillo: on my laptop (as a client) I can connect to pptp vpn, yes
[15:13] <taylor04> KevDog: it shows a bunch of interface things now
[15:14] <KevDog> taylor04: pastebin that!
[15:14] <el-perrillo> oCean: How in the worl did you do it? I've tried for days and I can't
[15:14] <el-perrillo> It keeps telling me, connection failed
[15:14] <el-perrillo> over and over again
[15:14] <taylor04> http://pastebin.com/m4c51e47e
[15:15] <Finnish> I'm not able to install this daily build
[15:15] <anonusing1> does any one know any good sites for .tar fonts?
[15:15] <KevDog> taylor04: Looks good -- sudo iwlist scan
[15:15] <oCean_> el-perrillo: Using the gateway I was told to use. Besides that in Advanced I had to tick MPPE and stateful encryption.
[15:16] <taylor04> i got my router
[15:16] <metajemo> mikewu:ubuntu 8.10. openssh-server Remote Desktop...if i have understood the question correctly
[15:16] <Finnish> When I click install-button, nothing happens, first time it gave me an error crash
[15:16] <KevDog> taylor04: Ok so you can "see" your router".  I take it you want to connect next?
[15:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Finnish If you are talking about Jaunty.  Please /join #Ubuntu+1
[15:17] <taylor04> kevdog: yea! hehe
[15:17] <Finnish> Sorry, wrong channel
[15:17] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[15:17] <Garepjotr1> if the systray thing says i'm connected doesn't that mean that the driver is working?
[15:18] <nicholasthgrey> Can some one help me , Sudo has stopped working  ('Myusername" is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.'
[15:18] <nicholasthgrey> ) ????
[15:18] <KevDog> taylor04: Although not in the strictest sense, but to avoid some debate, you cant have your wired connection up and running at the same time as your wireless.
[15:18] <jrib> nicholasthgrey: what is the output of « groups »
[15:18] <hacker> hi
[15:18] <hacker> any bdy here
[15:18] <oCean_> !pm > el-perrillo
[15:18] <taylor04> kevdog: ok, so can you tell me how to go about doing it
[15:18] <mikewu> metajemo: disconnect from the ssh, then ssh -XY user@ip that will allow x11 forwarding
[15:18] <nicholasthgrey> jrib: sorry iam a newb what do u mean ?
[15:19] <KevDog>  Everybody is sleeping!
[15:19] <mikewu> metajemo: then run vino-prefrences
[15:19] <jrib> nicholasthgrey: run « groups » in a terminal and tell me the output
[15:19] <nicholasthgrey> jrib: ok ill do that
[15:19] <mikewu> metajemo: vino-preferences*
[15:19] <ubuntu__> Hi, I'm Martin from Germany. I got a problem with Networkmanager. When I klick on NM-applet in Gnome/KDE, there is the text "not managed" for wlan0 and eth0. But I can see the AP with "iwlist wlan0 scanning"
[15:19] <KevDog> taylor04: Ok don't freak out.  You have the network manager icon at the top right of the screen?
[15:19] <taylor04> yep
[15:20] <KevDog> taylor04: Have you tried using that?
[15:20] <nicholasthgrey> Jrib: ok its say myusername dip
[15:20] <taylor04> well ive enabled wireless when i right click on it but when i left click wireless and all that is grayed out
[15:21] <jrib> nicholasthgrey: so the next question is: have you run some commands to modif the groups your user is in?
[15:21] <kristian1> i need an alarm program. small program that will play an mp3 at set time and repeat the mp3 if not stopped. anyone know of such a program?
[15:21] <Cycom> cron, rythmbox on repeat.
[15:21] <KevDog> taylor04: Ok try taking down your wired connection -- you will lose internet when you do so -- sudo ifconfig eth0 down  -- then retry.  To get your wired connection back up its two simple commands: sudo ifconfig eth0 up   sudo dhclient eth0
[15:21] <JohnWittle> kristian1, google
[15:22] <JohnWittle> lol
[15:22] <kavity> kristian1: kalarm, xmms-alarm plugin.
[15:22] <el-perrillo> ocean_: is there any way of starting the VPN using a command line? so I can see where I am getting stuck?
[15:22] <taylor04> ok
[15:22] <ghis> I need to be able to remote control my machine from another vista machine... is there some other way i can do this without vnc... (unlocks the current login... not good if you forget to turn the screen off)
[15:22] <hey_joe> whats the status of the intel 845g under 9.04?
[15:22] <nicholasthgrey> jrib: no way of noing it was sum1 elses doing lol
[15:22] <Richaee> kristian1, cron and ur own shell script
[15:22] <kavity> kristian1: Or use sleep
[15:22] <hey_joe> compiz working? or must i revert to 8.04?
[15:22] <n8tuser> taylor04->  use  sudo ifup eth0  instead to bring up the interface
[15:22] <ubuntu__> taylor04: seems that we have the same problem :)
[15:22] <jrib> nicholasthgrey: huh?
[15:22] <Cycom> hey_joe: pretty sure that goes in #ubuntu+1
[15:22] <kristian1> thanks all :-)
[15:22] <hey_joe> cycom, thanks
[15:23] <el-perrillo> Does anybody know how to start a VPN connection using a command line?
[15:23] <oCean_> el-perrillo: ehm... not sure, never done that.
[15:23] <Cycom> hey_joe: np
[15:23] <KevDog> n8tuser -- ifconfig up and ifup are not the same thing!
[15:23] <metajemo> mikewu:great!!!it works, thanks a lot.lame yet,arent i...
[15:23] <el-perrillo> oCean_: ok
[15:23] <nicholasthgrey> jrib: iam speaking for some else . some1 told him to run this command:
[15:23] <nicholasthgrey>  sudo usermod -G dip USERNAME
[15:23] <n8tuser> KevDog-> two steps you are asking him to do, that can be done with one step
[15:24] <jrib> nicholasthgrey: why?  that command removes the user from all of his groups
[15:24] <nicholasthgrey> jrib: no idea , any way for him to reverse it
[15:24] <KevDog> n8tuser - ifup = ifdown -- how do you know what state the adapter is in?
[15:24] <sky_> how i can delete user which was created in home ?
[15:24] <n8tuser> KevDog-> i dont think his will work, the driver of bridge something is not the bcm43xx driver as far as i know
[15:25] <KevDog> n8tuser - What -- b43 driver not bcm43xx
[15:25] <Garepjotr1> if the systray thing says i'm connected doesn't that mean that the driver is working?
[15:25] <n8tuser> KevDog-> please dont argue, read line 3
[15:25] <speedmaster> sky_, userdel -r username
[15:26] <speedmaster> you will probably have to sudo for that though
[15:26] <jrib> nicholasthgrey: reboot, choose "recovery mode" from the grub menu, add your user back to the default groups (syntax: sudo adduser USER GROUP)
[15:26] <KevDog> n8tuser -- Im not arguing -- what is line 3?
[15:26] <sky_> speedmaster: ofc..thank you
[15:26] <cosmodad> does anyone have any idea why my 25 GB partition (according to fdisk and cfdisk) only shows up as a 10 GB partition in df? See pastebin for details: http://paste.ubuntu.com/121442/
[15:26] <jrib> nicholasthgrey: erm, you can drop the "sudo"
[15:26] <anonusing1> if i want to get "ttmkfdir", can i just type "sudo apt-get ttmkfdir" into terminal?
[15:26] <n8tuser> KevDog-> read what he posted, line 3
[15:26] <nicholasthgrey> jrib: thanks alot
[15:26] <mrglinux> how to set getwaye with terminal ?
[15:26] <mrglinux> which with command ?
[15:27] <RussM> anonusing1, sudo apt-get install ttmkfdir
[15:27] <yowshi> grrr still having that bloody mouse problem
[15:27] <KevDog> n8tuser --product: BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN - line 3?
[15:27] <anonusing1> russM, TY
[15:27] <n8tuser> mrglinux-> why do you need to change the gateway?
[15:27] <speedmaster> hey guys, i'm trying to extract a .rar file (it's actually many rar files to make up one file to be extracted) i've installed unrar via synaptic and it seems to work fine however it's just making a directory and i don't think it's even touching the other rar files, it's the same deal with the ubuntu installed archive manage. Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?
[15:27] <n8tuser> KevDog-> correct, and i said bcm43xx yes?
[15:28] <mrglinux> n8tuser: I other system want to have internet conection
[15:28] <n8tuser> !ics | mrglinux
[15:28] <mrglinux> my getway set to 192.168.1.1 but 192.168.1.2 is correct
[15:28] <yowshi> imachine: you around?
[15:28] <KevDog> n8tuser -- Where you getting bcm43xx?
[15:29] <n8tuser> mrglinux-> how did you get that 192.168.1.1  anyways? and how you know its really 192.168.1.2 ?
[15:29] <n8tuser> KevDog-> generic term, bcm43xx includes 4311 4312 etc
[15:29] <mrglinux> n8tuser auto dhcp define it
[15:30] <techsupp0rt-MOS> my pc is slow how to uninstall all but the basic packages?
[15:30] <MaT-dg> the chatclient pidgin updated to 2.5.4 on the 12th of januari, when will the repo's have this version?
[15:30] <Garepjotr1> KevDog: also problems with wireless?
[15:30] <KevDog> n8tuser: What are you getting at?  I'm running 4306
[15:30] <KevDog> KevDog: no problems with my wireless
[15:30] <mrglinux> n8tuser my server is 192.168.1.2 and in my notebook getwaye must be 192.168.1.2 not 192.168.1.1 the refer to modem
[15:30] <nicholasthgrey> jrib: what must the group name b
[15:30] <KevDog> MaT-dg: compile from source if you dare!
[15:30] <n8tuser> KevDog-> there drivers are so called infamous bcm43xx
[15:30] <jrib> nicholasthgrey: the default ones.  Create a new fresh user and copy those
[15:31] <KevDog> n8tuser: bcm43xx were the old drivers, b43 are the new drivers
[15:31] <nicholasthgrey> jrib: o ok i see thanks
[15:31] <n8tuser> mrglinux-> did you get a chance to read that ics? let me repaste it to you
[15:31] <n8tuser> !ics | mrglinux
[15:31] <jrib> nicholasthgrey: « adduser FOOBAR » will create the user named FOOBAR
[15:31] <MaT-dg> KevDog: I have compiled it before, but I want to stay within the package manager
[15:31] <sika> How Can I make Network between Windows and Ubuntu?
[15:31] <n8tuser> KevDog-> okay
[15:32] <mrglinux> n8tuser: yes
[15:32] <KevDog> MaT-dg: grab the deb from getdeb
[15:32] <speedmaster> ignore my last question - i'm completely retarded
[15:32] <n8tuser> mrglinux-> follow that then, it shows how to share an internet connection
[15:32] <speedmaster> was opening the r01 files non the rar archive
[15:33] <KevDog> n8tuser: That is my point, was using b43 drivers -- and not the bcm43xx drivers.  bcm43xx drivers were for old kernel versions
[15:33] <n8tuser> sika-> you have router or switches in between them?
[15:33] <bbelt16ag> hey peeps
[15:33] <mrglinux> n8tuser:  sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1  it's for add if I want remove last getway what shall I do?
[15:33] <bbelt16ag> I am running Ubuntu 8.04.2 hardy
[15:33] <n8tuser> mrglinux-> change  add to del
[15:33] <bbelt16ag> I was wondering if I change my apt sources list and dropped to root can I upgrade my whole system to the  proper testing version w/o a hitch?
[15:33] <ashvala> hello
[15:34] <bbelt16ag> serously I don't want to spend 3 hours  debuging if I do this..
[15:34] <jrib> bbelt16ag: no.  That isn't how you should upgrade between release
[15:34] <KevDog> bbelt16ag: you could do that, however there are never guarantees
[15:34] <n8tuser> bbelt16ag-> testing without a hitch?  isnt that the purpose to find out if there will be a hitch? :p
[15:34] <bbelt16ag> should I just download the disk
[15:34] <jrib> bbelt16ag: add to that the fact it's the development version...
[15:34] <bbelt16ag> so there is no newer version
[15:35] <anonusing1> hi, can someone please assist me with step 4 -> http://mywebspace.wordpress.com/2006/04/06/how-to-add-ttf-fonts-to-your-linux-box/
[15:35] <KevDog> n8tuser -- see your around
[15:35] <n8tuser> KevDog-> okay, seems we lost taylor eh?
[15:35] <jrib> bbelt16ag: but jaunty support in #ubuntu+1 please.  The latest released version is 8.10 intrepid.  Jaunty is the development version (for devs and testers)
[15:35] <KevDog> n8tuser -- yes -- was shot dead or something crazy like that
[15:35] <bbelt16ag> juanty?
[15:35] <jrib> bbelt16ag: what exactly is your question?
[15:36] <Pandah> Is there anyway i can disable compiz fusion from the terminal i've set something and it won't let me click any buttons or anything lol
[15:36] <bbelt16ag> well, some of my packages are old in this  repo like from 2007 and I wanted newer packages so I could install the latest centerim.
[15:36] <jrib> bbelt16ag: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[15:36] <n8tuser> KevDog-> before you leave, your driver is b43-pci-bridge too?
[15:36] <bbelt16ag> I am running Ubuntu 8.04.2 hardy
[15:36] <jrib> !upgrade | bbelt16ag
[15:36] <jrib> bbelt16ag: you can upgrade to 8.10 then
[15:37] <bbelt16ag> download the iso and install then?
[15:37] <KevDog> n8tuser -- That is what it reports however I actually using b43 -- with the opensource openfwwf firmware.
[15:37] <jrib> bbelt16ag: if you want to upgrade (retain your current configuration and data) the follow ubottu's upgrade instructions
[15:37] <bbelt16ag> I got it
[15:37] <bbelt16ag> thanks
[15:38] <n8tuser> KevDog-> oh you compiled your own? did you have to put a copy of that in /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/  dir?
[15:38] <KevDog> bbelt16ag: Just a comment -- I always find clean installs better than upgrades -- but your mileage may vary!
[15:38] <sky_> how i can create user which can browse only in /home ?
[15:38] <anonusing1> hi, i am trying to add fonts and, am supposed to add a directory to a file system... not really sure which directory tho..
[15:38] <jrib> anonusing1: use ~/.fonts
[15:39] <n8tuser> sky_-> not good if he has to use tools within your system like /bin/ls
[15:39] <Lint01> user-specific fonts?
[15:39] <KevDog> n8tuser: Here are the instructions I followed: http://linuxfans.betaserver.org/
[15:39] <sky_> n8tuser: so how ?
[15:39] <anonusing1> jrib, thanks
[15:39] <KevDog> n8tuser: And yes I guess I did some compiling you could say:)
[15:40] <n8tuser> sky_-> you dont it like you suggested, what exactly you want to accomplish?
[15:40] <Daniel_G> when i do 'ifconfig' as a regular user, i get: Warning: cannot open /proc/net/dev (No such file or directory). Limited output. - obviously this is a security measure but is there a way to get rid of this so that a regular user can use 'ifconfig'? im on ubuntu 8.04.
[15:40] <n8tuser> KevDog-> oh okay, i guess broadcom has not been quite helpful yet ..i tried to avoid bcm43xx chips if possible
[15:41] <Fougner> Daniel_G, I can use ifconfig as a normal user
[15:41] <jrib> Daniel_G: you should be able to by default, so something is wrong
[15:41] <sky_> n8tuser: ok nothing :D
[15:41] <Daniel_G> jrib: its a non-custom kernel, i think the person who deployed the server made a few changes to it, but i'm just trying to figure out how to restore that
[15:41] <Daniel_G> assuming something must have been changed to get it that way, any idea how to change it back?
[15:41] <Jack223> hello
[15:42] <Daniel_G> eh, i mean, its a non-default kernel
[15:42] <KevDog> nt8user - Actually with the last few kernels, Ive been pleasantly surprised with bcm.  I used to hate the chipset, and now they are more tolerable.  I have an Atheros chipset also, however I have to say the bcm is "faster"
[15:42] <mib_371v01xa> hii to all
[15:42] <anonusing1> how do i add fonts.dir to xorg.conf? do i just copy and past, and if so, where exactly should i past to?
[15:42] <n8tuser> Daniel_G-> if only the command ifconfig  is okay with normal users, if the options is to modify then you need escalated priviledges
[15:42] <starfruit> i want to backup emails, which is the best client.  in regards to versatile format, that can be ported to many other email clients
[15:42] <mikedraven28> one question  haw can i add new effects in compiz
[15:43] <jrib> !compiz | mikedraven28
[15:43] <Daniel_G> n8tuser: what? i dont follow you...
[15:43] <n8tuser> KevDog-> curious as to what you meant by faster? really a measured one or a perceived better speed?
[15:43] <mikedraven28> i saw some window flip effects i woander were can i eneble it
[15:44] <Fougner> mikedraven28, window flip?
[15:44] <Fougner> not the desktop cube?
[15:44] <mikedraven28> on filp on the axe  180 `
[15:44] <mikedraven28> whait a sec
[15:44] <n8tuser> Daniel_G-> if your normal user issues  ifconfig its okay, no need to have escalated priviledge, if you  ifconfig -options here  you may need escalated priviledge, man ifconfig for more details
[15:44] <Bravewolf> I am trying to install claws-mail (3.7.0) from PPA repository (https://launchpad.net/~claws-mail/+archive/ppa) to my Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.2.
[15:44] <Bravewolf> I receive always an authentication error (http://pastebin.com/m54e9b7cf), even if the correct key is in my keyring (http://pastebin.com/d229b4b18).
[15:44] <Bravewolf> It's very strange! What could be the problem?
[15:45] <sky_> i want create directory for user and make for him passwords...he can only use this directory and nothing more ...how i can do that this ?
[15:45] <n8tuser> mikedraven28-> xrandr,  man xrandr to see more options
[15:45] <Daniel_G> n8tuser: your not really making any sense, the problem is that a normal user cant use 'ifconfig' at all, i'm trying to figure how to let them...
[15:45] <Jack223> hey when i have streaming music set up on firefox and i close it, it still runs until i close the firefox process why is that. btw im using windows xp
[15:45] <bonhoffer> after suspend my root filesystem is only remounts in read-only mode -- what can i do?
[15:45] <n8tuser> Daniel_G-> sorry if you dont understand what i just explained
[15:45] <sky_> Jack223: this is ubuntu channel :D
[15:45] <anonusing1> does anyone know how to add "font.dir" to "xorg.conf"?
[15:46] <Daniel_G> n8tuser: what you just 'explained' it crap and makes no sense
[15:46] <jrib> anonusing1: why?
[15:46] <Daniel_G> nothing to do with me not understanding it
[15:46] <Jack223> yes, its also the only channel with people on it at this hour
[15:46] <n8tuser> Daniel_G-> up yours, you dont like my explanation
[15:46] <sky_>  i want create directory for user and make for him passwords...he can only use this directory and nothing more ...how i can do that this ?
[15:46] <anonusing1> jrib, that is what these directions say http://mywebspace.wordpress.com/2006/04/06/how-to-add-ttf-fonts-to-your-linux-box/
[15:46] <jrib> Daniel_G, n8tuser: let's try to stay civil
[15:46] <kultom> Is there a quick way to add a folder ( or rather its content ) to the Wallpaper folder of gnome without moving/copying? Like adding a folder to the "wallpaper repository" or somehitng
[15:46] <Daniel_G> its not an explanation, its jibberish, english obviously isnt your first language and thats fine, but dont talk downt o me
[15:46] <Fougner> Jack223, people helping people with ubuntu-related problems, yes =)
[15:47] <jrib> anonusing1: ok, but why aren't you just using what I said?
[15:47] <BoomKING> Can anyone help me , if i install ubuntu The wireless and cabled network works , but then if i restart it stops working , but if i put in the live cd and boot with live mode it works ???? any ideas
[15:47] <n8tuser> Jrib can you tell Daniel_G to stop it?
[15:47] <mikedraven28> sorry
[15:47] <Daniel_G> ...jesus
[15:47] <KevDog> nt8user: that would be perceived.
[15:47] <n8tuser> Daniel_G-> what part do you not understand?
[15:47] <KevDog> nt8user: but at least you can do aircrack with broadcom now!
[15:47] <n8tuser> KevDog-> i dont spelll well, i have wide thumbs too
[15:47] <sky_> BoomKING: delete auto eth0 there ?
[15:47] <sky_>  i want create directory for user and make for him passwords...he can only use this directory and nothing more ...how i can do that this ?
[15:48] <anonusing1> jrib, i did do that
[15:48] <mikedraven28> so .. let me explain .. 2 problems ... with my ubuntu
[15:48] <jrib> anonusing1: you added you .ttf to ~/.fonts?
[15:48] <bonhoffer> without read access, i can do nothing -- including connecting to the internet
[15:48] <n8tuser> KevDog-> even older ones or only newer chips?
[15:48] <bonhoffer> without write access .  . .
[15:48] <anonusing1> jrib, i had to create that folder
[15:48] <Daniel_G> n8tuser: your saying 'if a normal user issues ifconfig its okay', but the problem is that a normal user *cant* issue ifconfig, its been disabled, so i'm trying to figure out how to enable it...
[15:48] <mikedraven28> my effects and compiz works but i can't play anithing in full screen
[15:48] <metajemo> mikewu:another question if i may....i am not able to see the whole desktop, most probably because it is 17 inches
[15:48] <jrib> anonusing1: yes and then log out and back in
[15:48] <anonusing1> jrib, "~" means like, my home folder right?
[15:48] <jrib> anonusing1: yes
[15:48] <mikedraven28> i know there are problems with ati graphics but ...
[15:48] <KevDog> nt8user: Not sure what you are asking? newer chips?  My 4306 chipset is probably 8 years old
[15:49] <anonusing1> jrib, okay, i'll try that. they should be in gimp then?
[15:49] <jrib> Daniel_G: so you are running "ifconfig" with no options and receive the error you pasted before?
[15:49] <jrib> anonusing1: did you log out and back in?
[15:49] <Daniel_G> jrib: correct
[15:49] <anonusing1> jrib. ok, i'm going to do it now. thanks
[15:49] <n8tuser> KevDog-> really, i dont know the newer model numbers, thats why i asked you
[15:49] <jrib> Daniel_G: I think that's all n8tuser was asking
[15:49] <Fallen[q]> Hello, does anyone have a minute to help me? Ive installed Ubuntu, on the Live cd I was able to enable Wireless via the network manager but as I have installed it to my HDD Im not able to do so, the enable wireless check box is faded out and im completely lost. Ive been pulling my hair out for the last 4 hours
[15:50] <Daniel_G> ok well thats been clarified then, anyone got any ideas?
[15:50] <sky_>  i want create directory for user and make for him passwords...he can only use this directory and nothing more ...how i can do that this ?
[15:50] <Who_cares_> hi, Ubuntu suddenly stopped supporting higher resolutions for me. can anyone help me with this?
[15:50] <n8tuser> sky_-> i explained to you, if he has to use /bin/ls which is to list the directory, how is he going to access that tools if he can not get to it?
[15:51] <Who_cares_> it supports a max res of 1024x768
[15:51] <KevDog> nt8user: Any b43 related chipset can do aircrack.  The wl driver -- which is the Broadcom STA driver for some chipsets can not be put into monitor mode -- so a no go for these!
[15:51] <n8tuser> sky_-> there are tools within the system that a user needs access to, you follow?
[15:52] <bonhoffer> o.k. room looks full -- i can't do anything, no write access to my root filesystem, please put this in the queue for someone who is skilled with ubuntu internals
[15:52] <sky_> n8tuser: he will only need to download / upload there data
[15:52] <anonusing1> jrib, i don't see the new font in gimp
[15:52] <blizzkid_> lo all, anyone could help me getting started cross-compiling for mips?
[15:52] <Fallen[q]> Hello, does anyone have a minute to help me? Ive installed Ubuntu, on the Live cd I was able to enable Wireless via the network manager but as I have installed it to my HDD Im not able to do so, the enable wireless check box is faded out and im completely lost. Any thoughts?
[15:52] <jrib> Daniel_G: you should assume the room has 0 lines of memory.  Unless you're in a conversation with someone, you should just repeat the question (with a pastebin to your user running "ifconfig" and the output
[15:52] <n8tuser> KevDog-> thats nice to know, am going to dust clean my old bcm43xx nic and see what this new driver can accomplish
[15:52] <Fougner> sky_, how is this person supposed to use the system? FTP, SSH?
[15:53] <blizzkid_> Fallen[q]: have you enabled restricted modules?
[15:53] <sky_> Fougner: FTP
[15:53] <Fougner> well
[15:53] <KevDog> n8tuser: Here is a pretty good up-to-date list on what chipset and what drivers -- Please note that the old bcm43xx driver (the one everyone used to use) is dead!
[15:53] <Fougner> what FTP daemon do you use?
[15:53] <Fallen[q]> blizzkid_; I have not; how would I go about doing so
[15:53] <Fougner> sky_, above
[15:53] <Daniel_G> jrib: i think you highlighted the wrong perso
[15:53] <n8tuser> KevDog-> cool
[15:53] <jrib> Daniel_G: nope
[15:53] <jamesclayden1983> hi All, i have a problems with my wi-fi connection. It was working fine for months now when ever i try to connect to my router the connection speed is always 1-2 Mb/s. on the same computer in windows i can connect at 54Mb/s and i have tried connection to un-locked routers near me and i am getting the same slow connection speed problem. i think i have looked in all the obvious places to fix this with no luck.
[15:54] <Daniel_G> jrib: google'ing right now, not getting much results but i'll ask again if i dont get anything on the interwebs
[15:54] <blizzkid_> Fallen[q]: in the menu, choose preferences (or administration) and look for restricted drivers
[15:54] <BoomKING> Can anyone help me , if i install ubuntu The wireless and cabled network works , but then if i restart it stops working , but if i put in the live cd and boot with live mode it works ???? any ide
[15:54] <jrib> Daniel_G: unless your question was directed at me in which case, no, I don't have any ideas :)
[15:54] <BoomKING> ides*
[15:54] <blizzkid_> Fallen[q]: (not using gnome atm, so have to do this from memory)
[15:54] <KevDog> n8tuser: Here is the list: http://linuxfans.betaserver.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46:broadcom-guide-for-ubuntu-hardy-and-newer&catid=34:guides&Itemid=61
[15:55] <KevDog> n8tuser: You'll be surprised with b43 on the newer kernel -- full 54mbs support
[15:55] <n8tuser> KevDog-> good find. ill bookmark this
[15:55] <bonhoffer> i think this is a major kernel issue -- is there a better room for more technical problems> my problem:  ( can't do anything, no write access to my root filesystem, please put this in the queue for someone who is skilled with ubuntu internals
[15:55] <anonusing1> jrib, i logged out and logged back in but, i don't see the new font in gimp or open office
[15:55] <Fallen[q]> blizzkid_; under system/preferences I do not seem to see something resembling restriced drivers
[15:55] <jrib> anonusing1: try « fc-cache -fv » followed by restarting those programs
[15:55] <n8tuser> KevDog-> my mind is running wild, i can contemplate of things to do with like 3 doz ap near me..hehe
[15:56] <anonusing1> jrib.okay thanks
[15:56] <blizzkid_> Fallen[q]: and system/administration?
[15:56] <amaurea> Hello, what is the easiest way of seeing if my usb gamepad works?
[15:56] <KevDog> n8tuser: Never used the STA driver !!!  But at least you can dump the unreliable bcm43xx -- and ndiswrapper -- had its day but now its done!
[15:56] <Fallen[q]> blizzkid_; does not seem to be
[15:57] <blizzkid_> Fallen[q]: ok, might be you don't need a restricted driver, hold on, I'll msg you
[15:57] <n8tuser> KevDog-> am glad you were persistent in looking for a solution, I've lost far too many hair.. hehe
[15:58] <RussM> bonhoffer, Someone here might be able to help, but I think you'll need to supply more  detail. You obviously could get to your root filesystem in the past - what changed? And, are you seeing this when you boot? What errors are you getting, and when?
[15:58]  * rhinux is away: Zur Zeit abwesend
[15:58] <KevDog> n8tuser -- The jaunty kernel will be even better since you wil be able to use channels 12.13,14 with a workaround :)
[15:58] <bonhoffer> RussM, sorry, all that changed is sudo pm-suspend
[15:58] <BoomKING> Any IDea's networking working after fresh instalation , stops working after reboot , works with live cd tho  ????
[15:58] <bonhoffer> touch test.txt gives me : Read-only file system
[15:59] <bonhoffer> as root, as my main user in all directories
[15:59] <n8tuser> KevDog-> fcc allowed it? or you'd get your behind hauled off for using those channels here in north america?
[15:59] <KevDog> n8tuser: Dont tell anyone!
[15:59] <n8tuser> KevDog-> i didnt here nothing, what?  :P
[16:00] <KevDog> n8tuser: And of course I was referring to use in Japan BTW :p
[16:00] <jrib> bonhoffer: pastebin the output of « mount »
[16:00] <RussM> bonhoffer, Ah, a problem with suspend. I run primarily on servers that are always on, so I haven't dealt with that much. While you could try the command to just remount your root filesystem as writeable, it's likely that the problem goes deeper.
[16:00] <bonhoffer> difficult to pastebin -- no ability to get to internet without write access (some temp file must be written)
[16:01] <Guest48236> Does anyone know of a python IRC channel that doesn't require registration?
[16:01] <bonhoffer> i can type mount -- what am i looking for?
[16:01] <bonhoffer> jrib, ^
[16:01] <jrib> bonhoffer: you are on a different machine?
[16:01] <bonhoffer> yes
[16:01] <jrib> bonhoffer: what does the line for / say?
[16:01] <RussM> bonhoffer, try typing just the line with the root filesystem (/) on it.
[16:02] <bonhoffer> /dev/sda6 on / type ext3 (rw, relatime,errors-remount-ro)
[16:02] <bonhoffer> jrib, RussM, is that what you need?
[16:02] <jamesclayden1983> ﻿hi All, i have a problems with my wi-fi connection. It was working fine for months now when ever i try to connect to my router the connection speed is always 1-2 Mb/s. on the same computer in windows i can connect at 54Mb/s and i have tried connection to un-locked routers near me and i am getting the same slow connection speed problem. i think i have looked in all the obvious places to fix this with no luck.
[16:02] <chattan> Hi , gus
[16:02] <chattan> hi guys
[16:03] <Ghone> I borked a USB thumb drive by unplugging if without unmounting it first.   I would like to regain use of the device, what should I do?
[16:03] <lupine_85> Ghone: probably reformat it, assuming it still shows up in dmesg as an sd device
[16:04] <n8tuser> jamesclayden1983-> you tried fiddling with iwconfig command ? using  channel or freq and bit rate? man iwconfig for additional options
[16:04] <tul_> Ghone: plug it back in or restart computer with usb inserted
[16:04] <RussM> bonhoffer, I think you're getting errors on your hard drive. I can't tell why - it's possible the filesystem was messed up somehow. Can you boot off of a live CD, then fsck the filesystem?
[16:04] <oCean_> Ghone: how important is the data on the drive for you. It might be possible to mount using 'force' option, however that also migth get you a corrupted filesystem.
[16:04] <bonhoffer> i have a eeepc with no cd
[16:04] <jrib> bonhoffer: check dmesg
[16:04] <bonhoffer> perhaps i could boot off thumb-drive
[16:04] <jamesclayden1983> will try
[16:05] <bonhoffer> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=67223 <-- looks similar
[16:05] <bonhoffer> jrib, what am i looking for in dmesg
[16:06] <jrib> bonhoffer: anything interesting
[16:06] <Ghone> saving the data is not necessary.
[16:06] <bonhoffer> AMI bios detected: BIOS may corrupt low RAM, working it around
[16:06] <oCean_> Ghone: then plug it in, and try mounting the device using "-o force"
[16:07] <jrib> bonhoffer: nothing else?
[16:07] <RussM> bonhoffer, Look for  anything involving root filesystem, /, or /dev/sda6
[16:07] <bonhoffer> ok
[16:08] <bonhoffer> wow its big
[16:08] <bangalibabu> how can i download codecs for the built-in media player?
[16:08] <KenBW2> can dpkg doiwnload from the internet?
[16:08] <jrib> bonhoffer: I think it goes without saying by the way that you should have backups of data you care about on here
[16:08] <jrib> KevDog: that's what apt-get is for
[16:08] <bangalibabu> please, mention my nick
[16:08] <Bejron> bangalibabu,
[16:08] <KenBW2> jrib: @ me
[16:08] <KenBW2> ?
[16:09] <Lint01> How can I download some already installed *.deb package with its dependencies?
[16:09] <sky_> Fougner: sorry my internet fail
[16:09] <bonhoffer> jrib, i don't know how much i have backed up
[16:09] <bonhoffer> but not sure how reliable this os is . . .
[16:09] <sky_> Fougner: how i can view which daemon type i have ?
[16:09] <jrib> KenBW2: yeah, sorry
[16:09] <rohan> hi.. could someone help me with this problem - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1077273
[16:09] <KenBW2> jrib: i mean deb's that arent in the repo's
[16:09] <rohan> basically on ubuntu 8.04.2 my splash screen stops too early
[16:09] <n8tuser> !clone | Lint01 perhaps techniques from this..
[16:09] <bonhoffer> nothing about /dev/sda6 in dmesg
[16:09] <jrib> KenBW2: no
[16:09] <Yaitanes> Hello, I just need some english skill in private
[16:09] <jrib> KenBW2: those should be avoided anyway
[16:10] <KenBW2> jrib: meh, i dont want the old version of opera
[16:10] <Pir8> Has anyone installed Ubuntu on a Raid 1 configuration?
[16:10] <Pir8> I am a total newbie when it comes to RAID config.
[16:10] <bonhoffer> o.k. looks like i need a recovery cd
[16:10] <Ghone> mounting with '-o force' worked.  Thanks.
[16:11] <el-perrillo> Pir8: Raid is independent from ubuntu
[16:11] <el-perrillo> are you talking about software or hardware raid?
[16:11] <Yaitanes> Anybody to help me about a english lexical problem?
[16:12] <Pir8> el-perrillo: you are right, it is independent. My mother board supports RAID setup, I am trying to find out whether it does hardware or software
[16:12] <kb3ien> anyone here using fetchmail?
[16:12] <sky_> n8tuser: are you here ?
[16:12] <el-perrillo> Pir8: I don't recomend Software Raid, it is a huge pain, and gook luck recovering it if a hard drive goes down
[16:12] <Segaja> is it possible to give start-stop-daemon a pidfile with more than one pid in it? and what will it do?
[16:13] <n8tuser> sky_-> yes sir..sipping a cup of joe
[16:13] <Pir8> el-perrillo: I see
[16:13] <jrib> KenBW2: it's probably easier to download it and double click.  You could run wget and dpkg, but I don't really see the point
[16:13] <KenBW2> jrib: i want to set it all as a mass command for setting my PCs up
[16:13] <Pir8> el-perrillo: thanks for the info. :)
[16:13] <kb3ien> i'm looking to FetchMail, i see a -S to set where the mail is going, but not and option for which mailserver to connect to. do i need to do this from the netrc file ?
[16:13] <sky_> n8tuser: well so how i can create those users ? they will only need upload and download data from their folders via FTP...and they cannot browse other folders
[16:13] <el-perrillo> if you can do it hardware raid,then that RAID is totaly independent from any operating system
[16:14] <nite_johnboy> Trying to find a certain song in Places/Music folder - What would be best app to use for searching all of the sub folders in the music folder ? ?
[16:14] <el-perrillo> Pir8: no problem
[16:14] <n8tuser> sky_-> use a server like proftpd or similar
[16:14] <nite_johnboy> I know title of song.
[16:14] <sky_> !proftpd
[16:15] <n8tuser> sky_-> can you google for a tutorial on that, i dont know it off hand, i have to refer myself to google too
[16:15] <Pir8> el-perrillo: I dont think it can do hardware, I would have to buy pci cards to do that, I think.
[16:15] <Segaja> anydbody?
[16:15] <Cassonetto> hi
[16:15] <Fougner> nite_johnboy, should be easy with find or something
[16:15] <el-perrillo> Pir8 depends on the motherboard
[16:15] <amaurea> I am trying to get my joypad to work in intrepid. It is a logitech chillstream. When I plugi it in, it seems to be recognized, but I am not sure it is recognized as the correct kind of device. None of the buttons have any effect (but I am not sure what program I should use to test if they have any effect), but I can move the mouse pointer around with it
[16:15] <oCean_> Segaja: sure, in startup script one could echo more then one pid, but what's your actual question?
[16:15] <oCean_> Segaja: one daemon has one pid
[16:15] <Pir8> el-perrillo: so how do I find out if it can do hardware/software ?
[16:15] <nite_johnboy> Fougner; Using Terminal?
[16:16] <amaurea> Any ideas of how to find out if it works, and what do to if it doesn't?
[16:16] <Fougner> nite_johnboy, yeah, "find" for example
[16:16] <Fougner> I'm trying it out right now
[16:16] <Segaja> my question is, does start-stop-daemon stops all processes which are listed by pid in the pidfile?
[16:16] <el-perrillo> Pir8: also some cheap cards are still software based
[16:16] <Pir8> I see
[16:16] <imachine> yowshi, more mouse isues?
[16:16] <oCean_> Segaja: various daemons stop their processes in various ways.
[16:16] <imachine> soz, not as helpful today
[16:16] <imachine> ;]
[16:17] <bonhoffer> jrib, i am trying to create a bootable usb drive to rescue things
[16:17] <el-perrillo> Pir8: usually hardware RAID cards are expensive and big with lots of chips and they have adaptec chipsets
[16:17] <nite_johnboy> Founger; Forgot command to use "man" to see options of using "find"
[16:17] <anonusing1> hi, can anyone recommend a good way to add fonts to gimp?
[16:17] <bonhoffer> how do i tell (from nautilus) what the mount point is?
[16:17] <adred> hi, just wanna if anyone here knows a very good internet cafe management software other than ccl? i have friends who own cafe switching over to ubuntu..
[16:17] <bonhoffer> it is listed as 8.0 GB Media
[16:17] <yowshi> imachine: the same one as yesterday. :( tommorow i will get a ps/2 mouse
[16:17] <anonusing1> i have more fonts in open office and wondering if there's a way to just transfer them into gimp
[16:17] <bonhoffer> jrib, is it /dev/sda1 for example? (how do i check?)
[16:17] <nite_johnboy> Fougner; I got it man find - thx
[16:17] <Fougner> nite_johnboy, good
[16:18] <anonusing1> and there seems to be a few tutorials on line about adding fonts to gimp but they all differ
[16:18] <jrib> bonhoffer: is what /dev/sda1?
[16:18] <el-perrillo> Pir8: It also depends on the RAID level, RAID5 capable cards are usually bigger and more expensive
[16:18] <adred> hi, just wanna ask if anyone here knows a very good internet cafe management software other than ccl? i have friends who own cafe and they're switching over to ubuntu..
[16:18] <bonhoffer> my usb drive?
[16:18] <_VIM_> !repeat | adred
[16:18] <bonhoffer> jrib, my usb drive (that i am trying to make a rescue device)
[16:18] <Pir8> el-perrillo: in that case I dont think this one does hardware raid :)
[16:19] <adred> ubottu: awtz, my apologies.. i made a mistake ;)
[16:19] <LiYa> Hey, ppl I dont undertsand something in Ubuntu : There seems to be some problem in displaying small fonts, in Ubuntu! .. I mean the default setting is very large look and feel ! .. Which is what I dont want !
[16:19] <nite_johnboy> Fougner; have gui alternate you might suggest?
[16:19] <Pir8> The specs state: 4 xSATA 3 Gb/s ports Support RAID 0,1,0+1,5,JBOD
[16:20] <jrib> bonhoffer: mount it and check what is inside?
[16:20] <el-perrillo> pir8: take a look at this.. http://cgi.ebay.com/Dell-PE750-CERC-SATA-1-5-6ch-RAID-CONTROLLER_W0QQitemZ290296723506QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCOMP_EN_Networking_Components?hash=item290296723506&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1234|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A0|293%3A1|294%3A50
[16:20] <kb3ien> or fetchmail.conf
[16:20] <Nike95> hi
[16:20] <bonhoffer> jrib, sorry, it is mounted -- i know what is inside -- how do i find out what /dev/foo it is ?
[16:21] <jrib> bonhoffer: the output of « mount » will tell you
[16:21] <bonhoffer> thanks
[16:21] <el-perrillo> Pir8: if you can configure the card without ever having to do anything inside the Operating System then you are OK
[16:21] <RussM> bonhoffer, Sorry I abandoned you, real world called. Looks like you're getting somewhere, though.
[16:22] <Pir8> el-perrillo: yes, however I think this motherboard supports RAID in the Just A Bunch Of Disk configuration
[16:22] <Fougner> nite_johnboy, sorry, dunno. but we can search one together.. I'd like to find some music library sorting/searching/naming thingy for linux =)
[16:22] <Pir8> which tells me it isn't "true" raid
[16:22] <anonusing1> what is a good source of information for adding fonts? or if anyone can help me to add fonts to gimp?
[16:22] <Lint01> liya: try some Windows fontrs, Tahoma looks nice
[16:22] <heroin> Hey
[16:22] <jrib> anonusing1: I told you how
[16:22] <jrib> !fonts | anonusing1
[16:22] <Garepjotr1> so i installed and configured ndiswrapper and again i get to connect to the wireless network and again i can't ping anthing but myself on the network
[16:22] <jrib> which will tell you the same
[16:22] <anonusing1> jrib, yes i tried that but, it didn't work
[16:22] <anonusing1> jrib, what's "1fonts|"
[16:23] <jrib> anonusing1: it tells the bot to give you information
[16:23] <anonusing1> ubottu is really a bot?
[16:23] <grkblood13> im currently tryin to type a paper for my spanish class so i switched the language to spanish
[16:23] <el-perrillo> pir8: it all soud like you have a hardware raid there. a JBOD is totally software independent
[16:23] <anonusing1> omgosh, lol
[16:23] <grkblood13> but i dont know how to use the extra characters
[16:23] <mike3> hey guys, just curious if anyone knows when MythTV 0.21 will be available for Ubuntu?
[16:23] <grkblood13> can any1 help?
[16:23] <anonusing1> jrib. okay, thanks again
[16:23] <Pir8> el-perrillo: how do you figure?
[16:24] <Amendment> Hello, is there way to increase OpenGL performance with Intel GMA drivers?
[16:24] <Pir8> Isn't JBOD simply spanning across a bunch of disks ?
[16:24] <rohan> grkblood13: use a character map?
[16:24] <Nike95> 	
[16:24] <Nike95> Unless I have a hard disk divided into two partitions. on the other hand I have Xp and Ubuntu ... on the wiki I found a guide for me to see the partition of Xp, but with a command entered from the terminal can not remember what time I renamed the XP partition and now I have a big problem .. ie I can not uninstall most programs on windows because it changed the way help
[16:24] <Pir8> not RAID in the true sense

[16:24] <rohan> grkblood13: or you can use www.typeit.com
[16:24] <jrib> anonusing1: did you try running that command I gave you and restarting gimp?
[16:24] <Nike95> Sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
[16:24] <nite_johnboy> Fougner; Yea - you just don't know how many times I have looked and looked for certain song - real pain - know what i mean? I have Wine and Crossover might find something to install with them.
[16:24] <el-perrillo> Pir8: I have never seen a jbod running an operating system, it is just a bunch of drives
[16:24] <Garepjotr1> so i installed and configured ndiswrapper and again i get to connect to the wireless network and again i can't ping anthing but myself on the network.. what else can be the problem?
[16:24] <anonusing1> jrib, yes the command... i took off the  >> symbols on the side and pasted it into terminal
[16:24] <Pir8> right
[16:24] <rohan> grkblood13: sorry, it's typeit.org , but you are better off using a character map program
[16:24] <jrib> anonusing1: any output?
[16:25] <anonusing1> mmm :/
[16:25] <kb3ien> fetchmail  is giving me /root/.netrc : unknown token 'poll'    any idea how that can be?

[16:25] <Fougner> nite_johnboy, ever tried xbox media center?
[16:25] <el-perrillo> Pir8, just try it
[16:25] <jrib> anonusing1: :/
[16:25] <anonusing1> jrib, but the tutorial i was follow said the last step, #4 was to add the font.dir file to xorg.conf
[16:25] <Pir8> el-perrillo: if I do install ubuntu on the RAID 1 config, is there a way to verify that the RAID is working?
[16:26] <jrib> anonusing1: that tutorial is broken
[16:26] <anonusing1> ugggggh
[16:26] <Pir8> again, pardon my newbie type questions!
[16:26] <Amendment> is there way to increase OpenGL performance with Intel GMA drivers?
[16:26] <jrib> anonusing1: pastebin the output of « ls -l ~/.fonts » (including the command you ran)

[16:26] <anonusing1> jrib. ok
[16:26] <slabbeh> Hi, I have a clean ubuntu install, I have just enabled fglrx drivers. After enabling the fglrx drivers, it looks like my screen is overscanning. The edges of the login screen are cropped and then when I log in I can't see the top or bottom panel. Do you know how I can solve this?
[16:27] <netsurf3> Amendment, i agree also interested in this possibility...
[16:27] <anonusing1> jrib, no such file in directory
[16:27] <mikebeecham> Hi guys,
[16:27] <mikebeecham> Something quite strange has happened to my notification area.  It's there, but there are not minimized tasks on there.  I've tried adding a new notification area, a new panel with new notification area, I've restarted X, rebooted the machine...nothing. It's just not working.
[16:27] <mikebeecham> Can anyone suggest anything else I might try.
[16:27] <anonusing1> jrib, it's in ~/anon/fonts
[16:27] <FloodBot2> mikebeecham: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:27] <jrib> anonusing1: that's not the same as ~/.fonts.
[16:27] <el-perrillo> Pir8: if you make drives one and two a RAID1 then you are mirroring the drives
[16:27] <Garepjotr> k i'm back.. any idea's?
[16:27] <anonusing1> >_<
[16:28] <Pir8> el-perrillo: yup that is how I have it configured right now.
[16:28] <el-perrillo> Pir8: Which means that you will only see the space for one hard drive
[16:28] <nite_johnboy> Fougner; Would be a luxury item - as do not do any gaming - how boring huh? getting off topic here - thx for idea's.
[16:28] <anonusing1> jrib, yes, i said i created a folder in my home folder... well, it's in anon, in the home
[16:28] <Pir8> el-perrillo: but how can I make sure that the data is infact mirrored and if drive 1 fails drive 2 will be able to take over ?
[16:28] <Fougner> nite_johnboy, no, I mean for the computer =)
[16:28] <anonusing1> jrib, oh wait, yes anon and home are the same folder
[16:28] <el-perrillo> pir8: if you have two 500GB drives, then you will only see it as one 500
[16:28] <Pir8> ok
[16:28] <anonusing1> jrib "/home/anon/fonts"
[16:29] <jrib> anonusing1: if you ran the command I gave you and you got "no such file or directory", then you have not create ~/.fonts.  The "." is not optional
[16:29] <el-perrillo> If you do RAID0 then you will see 1GB but you won't have any redundancy
[16:29] <anonusing1> jrib. i see... so i should create a ".fonts" folder in "~" ?
[16:29] <RussM> Pir8, What are you using for the RAID? md? Or a RAID hardware raid controller>
[16:29] <jrib> anonusing1: yes
[16:29] <anonusing1> ok ty
[16:29] <el-perrillo> Pir8: I use raid5 at work on all my servers
[16:30] <mikebeecham> hi guys...can anyone help me with restoring my notification area?  The notification is there, but there are no minimized tasks there?
[16:30] <Pir8> el-perrillo: I am doing RAID1, so I should see 1X160GB
[16:30] <Amendment> everything with OpenGL just plain sukks currently on my laptop :/
[16:30] <slabbeh> Hi, I have a clean ubuntu install, I have just enabled fglrx drivers. After enabling the fglrx drivers, it looks like my screen is overscanning.

"sudo aticonfig --set-pcs-val=MCIL,DigitalHDTVDefaultUnderscan,0" Had no effect
[16:30] <Pir8> RussM: my motherboard has RAID capabilities "4 xSATA 3 Gb/s ports Support RAID 0,1,0+1,5,JBOD"
[16:30] <el-perrillo> Pir8: If you have two 160's then you should only see them as one
[16:30] <zenn> hi
[16:30] <Pir8> yes I do see that
[16:30] <RussM> Pir8, Ah, OK, I use software raid. For that I just look in /proc/mdstat to see if it is working.
[16:31] <nite_johnboy> Fougner; Are you in the OffTopic forum as well? Like to ask more about what you mentioned.
[16:31] <Fougner> nite_johnboy, what to join?
[16:31] <zenn> disconnect
[16:31] <Pir8> RussM: ok let me set it up and install Ubuntu and see

[16:39] <anusia> I installed ubuntu on new empty hardidsk. On the old disk I have Windows - I want to copy its partition to new disk. What I have tried: I created partionion on new disk with size of old-disk-win-partition and copied data using dd. Any ideas why windows doesn't boot from this copied win partition?
[16:39] <bostoman> yes the interface is up
[16:39] <ThomasWaldmann> slabbeh: flgrx is crap

[16:40] <Garepjotr> how do you check wich wireless channel you're on?
[16:40] <slabbeh> ThomasWaldmann, what should I use then?
[16:40] <Onest> what is this server..?
[16:40] <Onest> :o
[16:40] <joe-mac> iwconfig will show you what essid you're on and all that jazz, chans too i believe
[16:40] <slabbeh> joe-max, TV, im using a DVI -> HDMI cable
[16:40] <user1> garepjotr iwconfig
[16:40] <user01> ubuntistas, i gues it depends on your system too
[16:40] <ThomasWaldmann> slabbeh: for simple apps, radeon/ati OSS driver
[16:41] <slabbeh> ThomasWaldmann, for 3D acceleration support?
[16:41] <user01> ubuntistas, check out http://www.linuxgames.com/

[16:41] <slabbeh> ThomasWaldmann, thats what I will do when the bank lets me :P
[16:42] <Lint01> Nike95, can you clarify your issue?
[16:42] <anonusing1> !installing fonts|
[16:42] <jrib> anonusing1: ?
[16:43] <anonusing1> jrib, i'm tryin to figure out what to do next
[16:43] <user01> ubuntistas, there is this handy list . . . it depends on yoiur video card too http://icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php
[16:43] <ActionParsnip1> yo yo yo
[16:43] <anonusing1> jrib, i guess just put the fonts into the .fonts folder and restart everything?
[16:43] <Nike95> Unless I have a hard disk divided into two partitions. on the other hand I have Xp and Ubuntu ... on the wiki I found a guide for me to see the partition of Xp, but with a command entered from the terminal can not remember what time I renamed the XP partition and now I have a big problem .. ie I can not uninstall most programs on windows because it changed the way help
[16:43] <Lint01> anonusing, you don't have to install TrueType fonts
[16:43] <jrib> anonusing1: yes
[16:43] <anonusing1> lint01, ok thanks. i just have two tff files
[16:44] <bostoman> RussM: my syslog does give this: DHCPDISCOVER.... send_packet: Message too long

[16:44] <isaacysusana> hola
[16:44] <Lint01> "renamed the XP partition"? How's that?
[16:45] <ubuntistas> is the latest wine  stable?
[16:45] <bostoman> I just fiund a forum post about this issue, let me try some suggestions from there
[16:45] <ubuntistas> is it good for installation?
[16:45] <Lint01> And what you want to do? Save Linux, delete Windows? Vice-versa? Keep both?
[16:45] <Nike95> i do not remember
[16:45] <RussM> bostoman, Try running dhclient yourself, see if you get the same error: sudo dhclient eth0
[16:45] <joe-mac> wine is good ubuntistas but if you don't wanna jump through hoops and need support like you use it for work, crossover kicks aass
[16:46] <ubuntistas> explain better i don't get it
[16:46] <dusty> anyone ?
[16:46] <bostoman> yeah, same issue
[16:46] <Lint01> OK, and what you want to do?
[16:46] <ubuntistas> joe-mac
[16:46] <Nike95> i want to return everything as before because windows so I do not work ie I can not remove programs
[16:46] <ThomasWaldmann> bostoman: you are sure your eth0 is lan and not firewire?
[16:46] <bostoman> yes 100%
[16:47] <Lint01> Can you boot Windows?
[16:47] <olleolleolle> Problem: All menus in Qt3-using apps are "invisible", when hovering over them, they quickly flash and go invisible again. (On Intrepid.) Qt4 apps do not display this problem. Ideas?
[16:47] <RussM> bostoman, Hmmm. Same issue here http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1029575.html
[16:47] <jonkenny007> does anyone know how I can make my default player "smplayer" rather than tothem?
[16:47] <joe-mac> ubuntistas: sorry man i do a lot of things at once, include my name at the beginning of everything you say if we are in conversatgion
[16:47] <Nike95> yes
[16:48] <RussM> bostoman, No help there, unfortunately.
[16:48] <anom2> Hi, I'm new to Linux.  I'm compiling my kernel (for fun), and my PC is screaming that it's overheating. Is there a command (like renice, but stronger) that can severely make a task consume less CPU cycles, say reduce from 80% to 40%?
[16:48] <joe-mac> ubuntistas: crossover is analogous to RHEL... they take wine, dress it up, make a few more of the manual things streamlined and do a bunch of QA on it and offer support
[16:48] <bostoman> yeah, I'll keep on googling
[16:48] <Lint01> If you open Disk Management snap-in in Windows XP, what do you see?
[16:48] <joe-mac> anom2: if your pc is overheating on a kernel compile, something else is really wrong
[16:49] <joe-mac> i would shuit down, open it up, and spray it out with a can of air. also make sure cables are neatly pushed away from where the cpu gets/puts air
[16:49] <RussM> bostoman, Is your MTU 64 like in the link I sent?
[16:49] <ubuntistas> joe-mac can i download it is a agood one ?
[16:49] <bostoman> yeah it is
[16:49] <mikes_> anyone know why synaptic doesn't show packages that I can use apt-get to install/uninstall ?
[16:50] <ikonia> mikes_: such as ?
[16:50] <mikes_> xchat for one :D
[16:50] <joe-mac> ubuntistas: crossover, like RHEL, costs money because of the value-add. that's why i said if you need it for work or something... i bought it at work because i am an SA and have to compile a bunch of stuff for the management in excel but refuse to load windows on my workstation
[16:50] <ubuntistas> i mean joe-mac is it a stable version is it good for my system?
[16:50] <ActionParsnip1> mikes_: i've seen a few folks ask that. i can't advise as I dont use synaptic but you are not alone
[16:50] <ikonia> mikes_: if you search in synaptic for xchat you'll find 3 packages
[16:50] <Nike95> when I will open the local disk C on the operating system to xp I see an error
[16:50] <joe-mac> i guess you can jump through hoops in wine to get mso2k7 working, but i'd rather not go through a bunch of stuff for it
[16:50] <Lint01> What says an error?
[16:50] <bostoman> let me try the mtu stuff
[16:50] <joe-mac> ubuntistas: just get wine if you're looking to test it out... there are tutorials and stuff all over the net on how to get things working
[16:51] <neodemi> im having problems using file-roller and rar archives
[16:51] <Spl0it_> I had a question about the 64 bit version of Ubuntu, is it only for the AMD platforms?
[16:51] <ikonia> Spl0it_: no
[16:51] <mikes_> not here :( and if I search for IRC only pidgen shows up, i will try the older package manager
[16:51] <eighthour> someone gave me an old laptop i want to put ubuntu on for my daughter but some asshat set a bios password....any suggestions....???....i have ubuntu on a flash drive if there are any tools that will help me there....
[16:51] <ikonia> Spl0it_: x86_64 platform
[16:51] <Spl0it_> hmmm ok
[16:51] <anom2> joe-mac: understood with thanks. it's already open and the cables are already tied away. is there a stronger command than "renice" that can severely force tasks to consume less CPU (say max 40%)?
[16:51] <user1> neodemi: !rar !unrar
[16:51] <Lint01> latest wine is 1.14 development build
[16:51] <ikonia> eighthour: no - game over, get the bios reset
[16:51] <neodemi> !rar
[16:51] <ikonia> eighthour: bios resetting is not covered in #ubuntu support issues
[16:51] <ActionParsnip1> eighthour: depends on the type(Phoenix, award) they usually have a failsafe password
[16:51] <newt-home> crossover is as good as it can be considering what it is.... the best option is to dual boot if you cant do that us a vm and load windows in that providing your equipment can take it... emulators like crossover cedega or wine are not very effective
[16:51] <anonusing1> jrib, it worked! wow, so simple. thanks A LOT!!!
[16:51] <Planet_x> hey all just had a quick question sorry its not related to ubuntu exactly, was just wondering what program language Ettercap Filters are written in, if anyone can help thanks
[16:51] <ubuntistas> will u sen me your crossover joe-mac?
[16:51] <erUSUL> Spl0it_: supports both amd and intel (and the via nano i guess)
[16:51] <RussM> bostoman, Which version of ubuntu are you running?
[16:51] <ikonia> Planet_x: not ontopic for here, - this is ubuntu related support only
[16:52] <eighthour> ActionParsnip1: thanks, but i tried all those....
[16:52] <Spl0it_> ok I just wondered because of the file name
[16:52] <Nike95> the error tells me that she can not find a file (RECYCLER / numbers)
[16:52] <Nike95> "numbers" that is, there are many numbers
[16:52] <salmon> does anyone know of a program like fruity loops for ubuntu, gnome
[16:52] <ActionParsnip1> eighthour: if that fails, disconnect power, battery and bios battery and leave it overnight, all bios settings will be lost
[16:52] <bostoman> 8.10, but hey, changing the mtu did fix the issue
[16:52] <oskar-> eighthour, try a bios upgrade with the flag for resetting the nvram set
[16:52] <Lint01> RECYCLER/{numbers} is your Recycle Bin
[16:52] <joe-mac> ubuntistas: that would probably be illegal, anbd because i believe software developers who put their sweat into things deserve to be reimbursed with either beer, women, or money, i cannot do that.
[16:53] <bostoman> thanks!
[16:53] <Nike95> what can i do?
[16:53] <ActionParsnip1> eighthour: no, each bios manufacturer has a failsafe, its not always the name of the type, sometimes its something weird
[16:53] <bostoman> I wonder why it got set to 64 initially though
[16:53] <Lint01> you should rin checkdsk c: /f
[16:53] <RussM> bostoman, Strange that it should have been 64 to begin with.
[16:53] <neodemi> !unrar
[16:53] <Lint01> *run
[16:53] <newt-home> ActionParsnip1, thats a bit drastic dont you think?  There is a bios reset on almost every laptop model made
[16:53] <Spl0it_> thx konia & erUSUL
[16:53] <erUSUL> Spl0it_: amd deserves the credit linux devs give for creating the architecture
[16:53] <ubuntistas> joe-mac your not fair at all
[16:53] <Lint01> damn, chkdsk :)
[16:53] <magnetron> !piracy | ubuntistas
[16:53] <Spl0it_> ah ok
[16:53] <Spl0it_> thank you again
[16:53] <ActionParsnip1> newt-home: well its not much of a password if its that easy to remove
[16:54] <RussM> bostoman, you'll have to make sure it gets set properly on boot every time. Not sure  of the right place to  do that.
[16:54] <newt-home> ActionParsnip1, well duh...
[16:54] <Nike95> and how is it done?
[16:54] <bostoman> I'll figure it out, thanks
[16:54] <newt-home> mfgrs do not discourage theft because that would slow down their sales

[16:56] <ikonia> ubuntistas: check the package manager for games
[16:56] <newt-home> lmms is the best offering Ive seen but so far only ardour actually worked on my systems and it was choppy, not accurate and usually glitchy
[16:56] <marko-_-> ubuntistas, openarena is a cool game... like quake 3
[16:56] <Lint01> Nike95, when you're done with chkdsk, download and run this thing: ftp://ftp.drweb.com/pub/drweb/cureit/launch.exe
[16:56] <bostoman> thanks RussM
[16:56] <marko-_-> or maybe ut
[16:56] <salmon> newt-home, huh?
[16:56] <Nike95> ok

[16:57] <Guest31507> hi i need a hand to change my Amsn skin how do i do it??
[16:57] <Ranakah> :)
[16:57] <ActionParsnip1> ubuntistas: tuxracer, uraban terror, frets on fire, penumbra (penumbra is AWESOME)
[16:57] <erUSUL> !games
[16:57] <neodemi> the problem i was having with rars is that some of them appear empty, while others work. they all work in windows, so its not a case that the files are corrupt/broken
[16:58] <quench> i've got a xfs filesytem (GPT partition label) on hardware raid that i can't figure out how to resize (i'm not using lvm)?
[16:58] <ActionParsnip1> neodemi: unrar e <rarfile>
[16:58] <newt-home> salmon, I run production sound on my computers and believe me your best bet is to use cubase or adobe audition 3 on a windows or mac bases system
[16:58] <Lint01> How can I replace that awful Nautilus for something really usable?
[16:58] <ubuntistas> what's frets on fire?
[16:58] <ActionParsnip1> newt-home: lmms isnt too shabby
[16:58] <ActionParsnip1> !info fretsonfire
[16:58] <newt-home> i love linux salmon but honestly the sound production arena kind of stinks
[16:58] <erUSUL> ubuntistas: is like guitar hero
[16:59] <jrib> Lint01: well what is wrong?
[16:59] <newt-home> ActionParsnip1, ok ...
[16:59] <salmon> newt-home, yeah i know there is better programs out there, but im just looking for something free to mess around with.
[16:59] <ActionParsnip1> newt-home: its worth a look, its not something i do a lot but its pretty quick to bash stuff out
[16:59] <newt-home> lmms and qjackctl
[16:59] <ActionParsnip1> ubuntistas: sudo apt-get install fretsonfire
[16:59] <newt-home> ActionParsnip1, I do this professionally I cant afford the sloppy stuff
[17:00] <Lint01> It's just look awful and clumsy. Is there some alternative?
[17:00] <ActionParsnip1> newt-home: i see, well it could give you another option
[17:00] <salmon> so i have another question and this happens to me all the time. so i downloaded something from synaptic and now i don't know where it went. how do i find it
[17:00] <newt-home> used it know how it works
[17:00] <ikonia> salmon: it will be on the application menu
[17:00] <newt-home> doesnt work for me in ubuntu but it did work in mandriva
[17:00] <salmon> ikonia, i know it should be
[17:00] <newt-home> ardour worked in fedora
[17:00] <ActionParsnip1> ubuntistas: you play guitar hero style game but use F keys as frets and enter to strum, there are torrents of songs you can dro ponto it and play, or make your own
[17:01] <salmon> ikonia, but it's not
[17:01] <ikonia> salmon: what are you missing ?
[17:01] <ikonia> salmon: as in what application
[17:01] <jrib> Lint01: if you don't like the way it looks, use a different theme.  If you don't like the widgets, try dolphin, thunar or pcmanfm I guess
[17:01] <salmon> ikonia, just downloaded lmms. and it's no where
[17:01] <ikonia> exit
[17:01] <ikonia> oops
[17:01] <ActionParsnip1> salmon: type 'lmms &' in a terminal
[17:01] <ubuntistas> you mean frets on fire and guitar hero is just for music?
[17:02] <neodemi> ActionParsnip1, unrar e doesnt do much, it throws out the error "No files to extract", from a 400 meg archive.
[17:02] <Ethosser> guys, I want to copy a folder over to a windows 2003 share everynight
[17:02] <Ethosser> whats the best way to go about this?
[17:02] <salmon> ActionParsnip1, thank you
[17:02] <jrib> neodemi: usually I use "unrar x file.rar"
[17:02] <ActionParsnip1> neodemi: you could always run winrar via wine :(
[17:02] <joaopinto> Etherael_, just mount the share using samba
[17:02] <joaopinto> ops, was Ethosser
[17:02] <amaurea> Ok, I have found the solution to the problem I had with my chillstream gamepad. I need to place the file https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Joystick_lshal_outputs_done?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=Logitech_Chillstream.fdi in /etc/hal/fdi/policy. Pretty simple. Except that I can't seem to download the file. Does anybody know of a mirror?
[17:02] <Ethosser> :)
[17:02] <neodemi> eww, i was hoping not to resort to that
[17:02] <Ethosser> I want to do it nightly though
[17:03] <Lasivian> is there any way to make a "group" of panel icons in gnome?
[17:03] <bruenig> nah
[17:03] <Lasivian> I hate moving them one-by-one all the time
[17:03] <ikonia> salmon: interesting it looks like it doesn't have an application menu icon, I'm surprised by that
[17:03] <Garepjotr> hey guys when i trype my key into the network settings using the gnome tool i can't use the wireless... but when i do "iwconfig eth1 key s:stuff" it works
[17:03] <ubuntistas> how can i install penumbra?>
[17:03] <deany> Lasivian, try making a drawer. and add them into it
[17:03] <BULLE> apt-get install penumbra ?

[17:04] <nectar> is there anyone who uses spice under ubuntu?
[17:04] <Lasivian> deany: hrrm, didn;t know about that, thanks
[17:04] <nectar> i need an how to about installing spice
[17:04] <KrimZon> salmon: also, anything installed you can find in synaptic, you can right click and choose properties, then click the 'installed files' tab. then have a look what it puts in any /bin directory
[17:05] <Garepjotr> so what do i have to enter into the tool that would work the same as iwconfig eth1 key s:stuff
[17:05] <KevDog> Garepjotr: key s:  This is the ASCI based text key correct?  Do you know the hex equivalent?
[17:06] <Garepjotr> yeah but i can't click ok when i enter the hex

[17:07] <zand3r> Hi... Is anyone using rdesktop with Ubuntu Interpid? I get an 'Initializing sound-support failed' error and Google suggests others have had the same issue but I couldn;t find a resolution. Is anything other than alsa required? Sound in general works on the machine.
[17:08] <n8tuser> M1DLG-> you asked what tool,   dd  if=/dev/sdax of=filename.iso  bs=512    man dd for correct options
[17:08] <Garepjotr> KevDog: you're not the first to suggest that.. i'll try now ic an actually install stuff

[17:11] <Garepjotr> KevDog: is that the full name? i can't find it in synaptic

[17:45] <BHYCHIK> can somebody help me
[17:45] <ramvi> [MODULES] 1. sudo depmod -a vntwusb  2. lsmod. What are possible reasons for vntwsusb not showing up?

[17:45] <imachine> epswing, 2.5 is there. wait for 9.04 I guess.
[17:46] <dupondje> to load iso :) but it works now, needed to select show all files :)
[17:46] <BHYCHIK> I had got Ubuntu 8.10 and Windows XP on my laptop
[17:46] <felixsulla> epswing, you can compile it from source.
[17:46] <ActionParsnip1> dupondje: please put my name at the start of the line, you can tab complete it
[17:46] <imachine> that too.
[17:46] <felixsulla> When I compiled 2.6 from source I couldn't get readline working, though :/
[17:46] <imachine> felixsulla, but that's awesome overhead.
[17:46] <BHYCHIK> then i have reinstalled XP
[17:46] <epswing> felixsulla: heh, rather not, i'd botch it

[18:00] <pop79> !hi |ivan_
[18:00] <ActionParsnip1> tv7497: i'd email the address in your terminal for help
[18:00] <ivan_> thx obottu
[18:00] <ivan_> thx pop79
[18:00] <pop79> ivan_: totem
[18:00] <ActionParsnip1> hlm: i gave you a link on how to configure it, by default users are chrooted to their home directory
[18:01] <tv7497> ivan_: go with vlc thats the best you could find
[18:01] <pop79> ivan_: totem comes with ubuntu
[18:01] <enrapture> oh, the other name or cereal number (don't know what it is) on this device is "MM-740"
[18:01] <ivan_> my totem cant load any subtitle
[18:01] <ActionParsnip1> ivan_: best doesnt exist in life
[18:01] <hlm> ActionParsnip1, okay, I got it thanks
[18:01] <ivan_> yea
[18:01] <pop79> oh... try realplayer then, www.real.com
[18:01] <ActionParsnip1> ivan_: an app is only best to an individual, there is no single best any thing ever
[18:01] <ivan_> owh ic
[18:01] <nightrid3r> ivan_ asking for a "best" aplication will probably give you the full contents of the repo, its all a matter of taste
[18:01] <ubuntistas> what's new about ubuntu 9.04?
[18:02] <ivan_> ActionParsnip1 : ok
[18:02] <tv7497> pop79: real sucks in ubuntu :D
[18:02] <ActionParsnip1> ivan_: millions like vlc, i prefer mplayer personally. some think both are garbage and use totem
[18:02] <fearful> ubuntistas, that's off topic this is a support channel try #ubuntu+1
[18:02] <pop79> i know, but at least it works :)
[18:02] <ivan_> mplayer is it guud?
[18:02] <ActionParsnip1> ivan_: try a few then settle on one
[18:02] <tv7497> ActionParsnip1: err i didnt get you in your previous post

[18:05] <shadeslayer> hi im on kubuntu and want to install gnome
[18:05] <ivan_> brother
[18:05] <ivan_> ActionParsnip1 , thx brother
[18:05] <shadeslayer> but the install should be less than 20 MB
[18:05] <Dr_Willis> shadeslayer:  install the ubuntu-desktop package.
[18:05] <tv7497> ActionParsnip1: any idea whats going wrong with those keys ?
[18:05] <nightrid3r> shadeslayer sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[18:05] <shadeslayer> too large
[18:05] <Era`> Trying to reinstall grub, After clicking install ubuntu, choosing manual partition type but what next? How I mount appropriate linux partions? What I should choose from there? I cant get access to the terminal....
[18:05] <Dr_Willis> shadeslayer:  then do without i guess?
[18:06] <fearful> Era`, it depends on how you wanted set up, dual boot all this
[18:06] <ivan_> Era` : im using LILO, can i change my boot loader into GRUB???
[18:06] <Dr_Willis> shadeslayer:  or rephrafrase and  clarify the question? :)
[18:06] <enrapture> brb'
[18:06] <ivan_> Era` : im using LILO 22.8, can i change my boot loader into GRUB???
[18:06] <operationhavok1> once you boot into your distro after you install you should be able to edit the grub from the gui
[18:06] <nightrid3r> shadeslayer shipit.ubuntu.com
[18:06] <shadeslayer> well, i want it alongside KDE
[18:06] <pop79> entrapture: is your carson cam an MM-740 or MM-640?
[18:06] <BladieBla> back
[18:06] <tv7497> ivan_: lilo is better take my word
[18:06] <WebcamWonder> Is there a way to disable the Fast User switcher applet from showing Pidgin's status? It annoys me a lot
[18:06] <ivan_> really?
[18:06] <Dr_Willis> ivan_:  install the grub package and confgure the menu.lst - yes you can. :) I never use lilo in years.
[18:06] <BladieBla> i have a problem with my web browsers it gives me wierd lettertypes
[18:07] <Dr_Willis> ivan_:  how did you get lilo anyway?
[18:07] <ActionParsnip1> !grub | ivan_
[18:07] <ivan_> lilo takes much times when computer starts :|
[18:07] <shadeslayer> well ill rephrase
[18:07] <ActionParsnip1> !info lilo
[18:07] <Dr_Willis> Grub is the default.. did you some how tell it to use lilo?
[18:07] <hmw> what does it mean, when i see "ratelimit: 40 callback supressed" in messages (trying to set up adhoc wlan) - does it mean, something is not yet implemented?
[18:07] <codeshah> hey guys, I have tried several things from google, but my ubuntu 8.10 volume is still very very low! Any clues? I think this is a common problem.
[18:07] <shadeslayer> i want gnome alongside KDE,so i just require gnome not the whole of ubuntu
[18:08] <Dr_Willis> shadeslayer:  ubuntu-desktop will just download/install the gnome portion of ubuntu.
[18:08] <ActionParsnip1> shadeslayer: seems if you install gdm it should be ok, not sure
[18:08] <hmw> codeshah - open mixer and make PCM louder, if not already at max
[18:08] <Dr_Willis> shadeslayer:  proberly a few 100 mb in download size
[18:08] <ActionParsnip1> Dr_Willis: he doesnt want gedit etc
[18:08] <WebcamWonder> codeshah: Type: alsamixer, in a terminal, it should let you adjust PCM
[18:08] <shadeslayer> Dr_Willis: no,its 973 MB
[18:08] <ActionParsnip1> yikes
[18:08] <Dr_Willis> shadeslayer:   seems odd it can all fit on a 700mb cd then dont it...
[18:08] <ivan_> Dr_Willis : i get LILO from ubuntu 8.04
[18:09] <shadeslayer> oh sorry
[18:09] <Dr_Willis> shadeslayer:  i think you may be confused.. but you could alwys fire up the package manager and install the parts of gnome you want.
[18:09] <shadeslayer> 200MB
[18:09] <ivan_> Dr_Willis : i get LILO from ubuntu 8.04, it has 2 boot loader, GRUB and LILO
[18:09] <fearful> ivan_, thats not possible 8.04 brings GRUB by default
[18:09] <enrapture> ok, I'm back.... if that makes  a diff :P
[18:09] <shadeslayer> :P
[18:09] <fearful> ivan_, ok I did not know that :p
[18:09] <shadeslayer> still 200 MB is too big
[18:09] <ActionParsnip1> fearful: its installed by default but any bootloader can be used
[18:09] <shadeslayer> ill do it tommorow night then
[18:09] <codeshah> hmw, when I run 'alsamixer' I just see master
[18:09] <shadeslayer> bye all
[18:09] <enrapture> :D
[18:09] <ivan_> fearful : not live cd
[18:09] <Dr_Willis> 219mb of download.. 918mb of space needed here for the full ubuntu-desktop
[18:10] <pop79> Entrapture, is your cam an MM-640 or MM-740?
[18:10] <shadeslayer> yeah
[18:10] <hmw> codeshah open the gnome mixer
[18:10] <enrapture> MM-740
[18:10] <Dr_Willis> shadeslayer:  then i guess you got some hard choices to make.
[18:10] <pop79> ok...
[18:10] <shadeslayer> Dr_Willis: ill install it tommorow night
[18:10] <codeshah> hmw, what is the command for that?
[18:10] <shadeslayer> bye
[18:10] <WebcamWonder> Is there a way to disable the User switcher applet from showing Pidgin's status? It annoys me a lot
[18:10] <hmw> codeshah a doubleclick on the volume icon on the top
[18:10] <codeshah> hmw, thx
[18:10] <Dr_Willis> were we suppose to give shadeslayer some magic answer to his problem? heh...
[18:11]  * enrapture hopes she doesn't have to return the damn thing

[18:11] <nightrid3r> Dr_Willis no but we are feeling nice today :)
[18:11] <bbelt16ag> do I need to uninstall kde 4 and then download the packages or  add another  repo?
[18:11] <tv7497> ActionParsnip1: totally forgot why i came here know any wizard around here who are good with sounds ? mine is broken i mean its audible but its like a dj inside my system i even reported this bug in launchpad but no use its still in confirmed status and importance undecided https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/329153

[18:12]  * pop79 thinks entrapture might have two :(
[18:12] <pop79> to, i meant
[18:12] <Dr_Willis> bbelt16ag:  so as far as i know.. you could use the source.. but that may conflict with the 4.x kde.
[18:12] <WebcamWonder> fearful: The logout applet doesn't include a shutdown anymore :(
[18:12] <enrapture> :'(
[18:12] <pop79> entrapture, apparently, there is no linux support what-so-ever for your cam, sorry :(
[18:12] <bbelt16ag> I don't want to keep  kde 4.x
[18:12] <ActionParsnip1> tv7497: crank everythinng you can is all i can suggest, dig around
[18:12] <fearful> WebcamWonder, well you have the option under system, thats what I use I removed it too
[18:13] <ActionParsnip1> tv7497: im not so good with sound stuffs
[18:13] <fearful> WebcamWonder, I didn't add anything I just click the System menu when shutting down
[18:13] <bbelt16ag> is there  any way to make my confg files use full again
[18:13] <bbelt16ag> it totally  destroyed my gui and konsole  setup

[18:13] <Dr_Willis> bbelt16ag:  Huh?
[18:13] <WebcamWonder> fearful: And what if you want to actually switch users?
[18:14] <pop79> entrapture: i might be able to.. well... 1/2 help you
[18:14] <ActionParsnip1> bbelt16ag: if you don't want to keep kde 4, uninstall it after installing another DE
[18:14] <fearful> WebcamWonder, it's under the system menu 'Log out'
[18:14] <ivan_> be rite back after reboot
[18:14] <ivan_> be rite back after reboot ^^
[18:14] <WebcamWonder> fearful: Ahh, thanks. That kinda solves it. Awesome :)

[18:15] <Dr_Willis> bbelt16ag:  backup all your configs i guess and reinstall the older ubuntu with 3.5 is what some people do.

[18:15] <bbelt16ag> ok
[18:15] <enrapture> I greatly appreciate your efforts pop79

[18:21] <pop79> quibbler: don't count on it ;)
[18:21] <ikonia> mirak: read the gcc docs for arch support
[18:21] <quibbler> pop79: i bet you use more than 2 fingers
[18:21] <pop79> yep
[18:22] <pop79> entrapture: command worked???
[18:22] <enrapture> no
[18:22] <enrapture> this user name is not under sudo
[18:23] <pop79> hmm...
[18:23] <Ethosser> ikonia: http://pastie.org/private/bzwhxjwdsxyr4aplasy8sg
[18:23] <Ethosser> that's what it gives me
[18:23] <kristian1> whats the command to download/install open office? sudo apt-get install ?
[18:23] <mirak> ikonia: I think it's core2
[18:23] <enrapture> I need to close out, switch users and come back
[18:23] <enrapture> brb :(

[18:23] <ikonia> mirak: I would use i686 for 32bit - however this is offtopic for this user
[18:23] <ikonia> mirak: for this channel sorry
[18:23] <kristian1> #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:24] <ikonia> Ethosser: the directory you want to create does not exist, so can't create the subdiretory, make the directory or do a mkdir -p
[18:24] <gfather> small question
[18:24] <gfather> i have the 3d desktop now
[18:24] <gfather> but lets say i have firefox open
[18:24] <git_> how big can a file be in Ubuntu?
[18:24] <Ethosser> I assumed the mount/remoteback was just a mount point not a directory as such
[18:24] <gfather> when i view the 3d box
[18:24] <ikonia> git_: many gigabyes
[18:24] <ikonia> Ethosser: a mount point is a directory or file
[18:24] <gfather> i see firefox on all the windows
[18:25] <Ethosser> ah ok
[18:25] <cuddlefish> depends on the filesystem
[18:25] <Ethosser> thanks
[18:25] <git_> i have a VM that's growing about 4GB per day
[18:25] <ActionParsnip1> git_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3
[18:25] <pop79> hey does ubuntu count into TB's?
[18:25] <git_> default ubuntu fs
[18:25] <fearful> gfather, right click the firefox on the panel and click "Only on this workspace"
[18:25] <ActionParsnip1> git_: Max file size, 16 GiB – 2 TiB
[18:25] <ikonia> git_: ext$ and resier and XFX support well over 32GB by default
[18:25] <gfather> and even when i change windows from the toolbar i see firefox on all of them
[18:25] <pop79> ok
 its already cheked
[18:25] <pop79> entrapture: you there now?
 ah ok thanks ;)
[18:26] <fearful> gfather, your welcome
[18:27] <erUSUL> git_: Max file size → 2TiB Max filesystem size → >8TiB
[18:27] <cuddlefish> what's the IRC command to leave a room?

[18:28] <ikonia> Ethosser: mkdir -p
[18:28] <enraptur1> ok...
[18:28] <Ethosser> mkdir: missing operand
[18:29] <enraptur1> it's sudo apt-get camorama xawtv -- right?
[18:29] <ikonia> Ethosser: you need to use the path too as you did in the original
[18:29] <ikonia> Ethosser: apt-get install
[18:29] <ikonia> enraptur1: sorry apt-get install
[18:29] <jbmigel> grr its so hard to find the application you want with synaptic
[18:29] <erUSUL> enraptur1: lackas a install or remove
[18:29] <enraptur1> ok

[18:29] <Ethosser> :)
[18:29] <fearful> jbmigel, why don't use the search feature?
[18:30] <quibbler> jbmigel: what are you looking for?

[18:31] <cuddlefish> iptables, possibly.
[18:31] <fearful> jbmigel, why not
[18:31] <ikonia> Tonik: wait for it to be released and upgrade to 9.04
[18:31] <pop79> hmw, that question is not suitable for #ubuntu, go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:32] <enraptur1> forget how to change nicknames.. It's been aeons since I've been in IRC
[18:32] <n8tuserf> syzothermy-> no? wifi or ethernet?

[18:44] <jo2> Hello everyone. I'm trying to get my wireless adapter to work with Ubuntu. I'm using Intrepid Ibex, 8.10. I've downloaded ngdiskt, or whatever it's called, and installed the drivers that came on the adapter's CD using it. It says, regarding the drivers I installed, "Hardware present: Yes". And while that is the case, i.e. the adapter is plugged in, the green light on the adapter isn't on, and I'm unable to detect any wireless networks. 
[18:44] <ActionParsnip1> HSNews: just chill and keep it P in here or ops will start dishing punishment
[18:44] <n8tuserf> syzothermy-> can you post your interfaces file contents? also results of  ifconfig; iwconfig; route -n; cat /etc/resolv.conf
[18:45] <hmw> gfather - my conf is not opted for eyecandy but for usability - clicking left or right edge of screen turns cube, pressing mouse-wheel-button rotates
[18:45] <n8tuserf> HSNews-> is you like follow same advise am telling syzothermy
[18:45] <syzothermy> sure, the interfaces file has just    auto lo    iface lo inet loopback
[18:45] <syzothermy> hang on, i'll just post this into pastebin

[18:58] <enry> ActionParsnip1, mono is good? nocrash etc...
[18:59] <ActionParsnip1> enry: i just got it off a forum, try it
[18:59] <what_if> Mr-Woof: I'm trying sopcast now...

[19:03] <bombshelter13> Is anyone using Linux in Boot Camp on a Mac without reFit?
[19:03] <SimonS> nabend
[19:03] <Led_Zeppelin> ok, I have a problem with 8.10. My mouse is suddenly not responding. I can move the cursor around but no clicks are working...
[19:03] <Led_Zeppelin> this is keep happening, and not sure how I can fix this.
[19:03] <Led_Zeppelin> I am using KDe4 as my desktop
[19:04] <f_newton> is this a wireless moust Led_Zeppelin?
[19:04] <SimonS> Led_Zeppelin: are you using an nvidia video card?
[19:04] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS, yes! I am using a Nvidia card.
[19:04] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS, how did you know? :-)
[19:04] <Led_Zeppelin> f_newton, wired mouse. PS/2
[19:04] <SimonS> i have the same problem with the 177 nvidia driver
[19:04] <f_newton> k
[19:04] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS, yep, thats what I am using 177 driver too
[19:04] <Led_Zeppelin> any fix?
[19:04] <SimonS> but i think it doesn't apear with the 180
[19:04] <f_newton> stop using nvidia?
[19:05] <pingdom> Hey guys, is there any good doc on customizing desktop switching? Ive seen some cool features online that id  like to do for example rolling
[19:05] <Led_Zeppelin> f_newton, wht about graphics?
[19:05] <ActionParsnip1> nvidia ftw :D
[19:05] <SimonS> i had the prob under fedora, and now again under ubuntu, so i installed the 180 from the package management, maybe it will work, otherwise install the driver from nvidia.com
[19:05] <SimonS> thats the fix ;)
[19:05] <Led_Zeppelin> so, is your system all ok now, SimonS ?
[19:06] <Izinucs> Led_Zeppelin: SimonS the 177 driver doesn't work well on some of nvidia cards.. little buggy and SLOW.. I'm using the 180.29 and it's a night and day difference for my 8200 card & chipset.
[19:06] <qos_> j #Ubuntu-fr
[19:06] <SimonS> i don't realy know, it was last time
[19:06] <Led_Zeppelin> how do I install nvidia180 thru apt-get? apt-get install nvidia-180-modaliases ?
[19:06] <Led_Zeppelin> Izinucs, I hope that fixes it :-)
[19:06] <bbelt16ag> can somebody point me in the right direction of  finding my old config files for kde..
[19:06] <f_newton> well even though the kernel dev team building linux kernels are unfairly biased towards nvidia ... nvidia makes very poor products and color schemes that are no where close to reality.... they fail to release adequate drivers and cause all kinds of problems... they also purchased voodoo corp which has the patent for 3D rendering and that is why no one else has as effective rendering for under 500 dollars
[19:07] <f_newton> the nvidia team is the most proprietary in the business.... they even put microsoft to shame
[19:07] <loller> hi , can u suggest me editor for javascript and ajax and want highlight of the function and auto finish
[19:07] <Izinucs> Led_Zeppelin: I came in late so I don't know what you're experiencing.. however if the repo's have the 180 it's probably the 180.11 which is much better then the 177.  try it and see if it fixes whatever you're experiencing.. if it doesn't then you might need to go to the 180.29
[19:07] <Led_Zeppelin> f_newton, they acked linux though. Thats all that matters
[19:08] <erUSUL> loller: aptana
[19:08] <erUSUL> !ot | f_newton
[19:08] <Led_Zeppelin> Izinucs, my mouse is freezing. Its a Ps/2 mouse. The pointer is moving but no clicks.
[19:08] <f_newton> acked linux?  what do you mean Led_Zeppelin?
[19:08] <SimonS> different question, same area...    does anybody know, how to make kde4 work with xinerama ?? (and displays with different resolutioN)
[19:08] <what_if> Mr-Woof: its working fine so far, using the 64 bit version. What did yours not do ?
[19:09] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS, using Nvidia? I can help .
[19:09] <The_Joe_> Is there a way to stop the cursor showing up in screenshots?
[19:09] <SimonS> yes using nvidia
[19:09] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS, nvidia-xconfig
[19:09] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS, enable xineerama
[19:09] <Mr-Woof> I installed in wine, but i couldn't get any channels to run. If i remember it gave me a video style error. I'll try it again now and post the error message
[19:09] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS, thagts how I am using it. It rocks. except this mouse thing :-(
[19:09] <SimonS> whait, i just have to enable it in the nvidia-sttings tooll..
[19:09] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS, yes. and restart X
[19:09] <ActionParsnip1> The_Joe_: use imagemagick and draw a selection, no cursor
[19:09] <Led_Zeppelin> brb. got to reboot.
[19:10] <what_if> Mr-Woof: there is a linux version and a deb package, why do a wine version ? t
[19:10] <Izinucs> Led_Zeppelin: might do it.. I had just terrible performance with the 177 driver.. my machine I built recently.. amd am2+ 4 gigs ram. etc. and it was much slower then an old 256 meg celeron single core
[19:10] <The_Joe_> ActionParsnip1, I'd rather do it quicker than that - but thanks anyway
[19:10] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS, yes, thats all you have to do..
[19:10] <Mr-Woof> ah that's probably the problem then :P
[19:10] <Mr-Woof> is it in the repos?
[19:10] <pop79> anyone have any graphics problems?
[19:10] <what_if> Mr-Woof: see http://code.google.com/p/sopcast-player/
[19:10] <SimonS> Led_Zeppelin: i allread tried, and then i just had one screen, the other just had no kwin etc. pp..
[19:10] <SimonS> arg he left
[19:10] <what_if> Mr-Woof: not in the repos, still very beta
[19:10] <ActionParsnip1> The_Joe_: or move the pointer off the screen to the right ;)
[19:10] <The_Joe_> ActionParsnip1, I was zoomed in.
[19:11] <The_Joe_> Nevermind then.
[19:11] <olavimmanuel> hello. I need evice3dfx-module in intrepid.. dont seem to be available... what shall i do?
[19:11] <Mr-Woof> I'll have a look what_if, cheers for the information
[19:11] <ActionParsnip1> !find 3dfx
[19:12] <ActionParsnip1> olavimmanuel: install the source via that package and compile it
[19:12] <what_if> Mr-Woof: no problem, took me 2 minuts to install, no config, just worked. Now ia get free espn!
[19:12] <obi_> can anyone tell me how to better setup a dual monitor in intrepid? i can setup through screen resolution but the options are crummy. the only set up that functions remotely well is to mirror screens and the resolution options are poor. any suggestions?
[19:12] <ActionParsnip1> !info device3dfx-source
[19:12] <Mr-Woof> lol :
[19:12] <porter1> abi_, do you have a nvidia card?
[19:12] <olavimmanuel> link to package?
[19:12] <Mr-Woof> :)
[19:12] <porter1> obi_, do you have a nvidia card?
[19:13] <olavimmanuel> oh, ok
[19:13] <obi_> porter1 i really couldnt say, its a gateway laptop.
[19:13] <porter1> Oh
[19:13] <porter1> Hmm...
[19:13] <dexter> Hello. I use v8.10 with rdesktop 1.6.0.2-ubuntu. I have tried to connect to all win server version, but i have no sound. Anyone have the same prob? plz PM
[19:14] <porter1> obi, it probably won't get much better
[19:14] <bbelt16ag> found em yay
[19:14] <obi_> porter1: i would also like to avoid editing xcongfig if at all possible
[19:14] <Mr-Woof> I've got an ATI Radeon x300 card in this machine and i can't enable the visual effects, would you guys recommend getting the Linux drivers for the card straight from the ATI site?
[19:15] <obi_> porter1: thats a shame. is there any talk of that being fixed in upcoming releases of ubuntu
[19:15] <Stustoph> hey
[19:15] <porter1> obi_, Not sure. Is it just that the resolution options are bad?
[19:15] <shausam27> i have a problem with boot up the line cman  ccsi  4425 ccs  unable to connect to cluster   i hit the atl ctrl delete and it boots but all 3D  and muitiable  desktops are gone  what do i to repair this this happen when i up dated some flies
[19:16] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS: back
[19:16] <Led_Zeppelin> so, whats up?
[19:16] <Mr-Woof> wb
[19:16] <SimonS> led_zeppelin: i allready tried like that, it worked with gnome, kde just ignores the second screen for plasmoids and wallpaper ....
[19:16] <night_> hey, does some1 know winetricks?
[19:16] <Led_Zeppelin> hmm. what is your default DM? gdm or kdm ?
[19:16] <porter1> night_, are you trying to install extras?
[19:16] <SimonS> so the second screen is empty, gra  background an no plasmoids etc.
[19:16] <imachine> night_, what's there to know.
[19:16] <SimonS> gdm at the moment
[19:16] <imachine> you just alunch it.
[19:16] <imachine> it works.
[19:16] <imachine> ;]
[19:16] <ActionParsnip1> shausam27: do you mean multiple desktops in compiz or actual desktops in standard gnome?
[19:16] <Stustoph> I can't load into ubuntu 8.10 anymore, every time I try I end up stalling at a screen that reads Alert! /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk does not exist
[19:17] <FloodBot2> imachine: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:17] <Stustoph> any ideas
[19:17] <obi_> porter1: well yes and no, i would be fairly content with the ability to have better resolution, but i would also ideally like to have the second monitor setup with better res and have it function just like multiple destops do, with all my icons and menu bars.
[19:17] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS: right. Use gdm as your default display manager. Then try to use kde
[19:17] <night_> imachine, i have installed wine and wanna know if winetricks is good 4 it
[19:17] <Tucker1979> Enter text here...Hello
[19:17] <ActionParsnip1> !grub | Stustoph
[19:17] <blackjak> guys what should I type as a source in kismet configuration file?
[19:17] <Tucker1979> i need some help with Ubuntu 8.10
[19:17] <maxhax> i installed utorrent with wine but now i dont know how to use it
[19:18] <night_> use gtorrent
[19:18] <Stustoph> ubottu any way I can access my usual ubuntu files I have on there with this live cd???
[19:18] <porter1> maxhax, get deluge
[19:18] <ActionParsnip1> !torrents | maxhax
[19:18] <Imran> hey all
[19:18] <maxhax> whtas that
[19:18] <Mr-Woof> Should i install the ATI drivers for my card straight from the ATI site?
[19:18] <Stustoph> I mean some files I downloaded
[19:18] <ActionParsnip1> !torrent | maxhax
[19:18] <Tucker1979> when i boot up my pc, it dual boot, i can a mess of a screen and can not move on less i turn it off
[19:18] <Imran> I have a small issue with a sh file
[19:18] <shausam27> yes but i can boot in to gnome
[19:18] <maxhax> si i cant use utorrent?
[19:18] <SimonS> Led_Zeppelin: does the nvidia 180 work?
[19:18] <blackjak> guys what should I type as a source in kismet configuration file?
[19:18] <ActionParsnip1> maxhax: there are lots of torrent clients that are native to linux, theres no need to run a windows client
[19:19] <Stustoph> ubottu
[19:19] <Imran> it doesn't seem to throw the expected output
[19:19] <porter1> obi_, if it doesn't run a very good res thru the second monitor, it's probabl a limitation of the onboard graphics
[19:19] <Imran> which is to create two zip files
[19:19] <maxhax> ok then wich one do you think is th best?
[19:19] <ActionParsnip1> !ubottu
[19:19] <Mr-Woof> quit
[19:19] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS: so far yes. I guess I have to wait for the mouse to become unresponsive. Unless you a way to test this bug out
[19:19] <Stustoph> oh your a bot damn!!
[19:19] <Tucker1979> how do you boot to gnome from start up, i need to sort out the display
[19:19] <ActionParsnip1> maxhax: i use ktorrent but there is no best. try a few
[19:19] <obi_> porter1: oh i see, even though i can run the higher resolution on the main monitor?
[19:19] <SimonS> Led_Zeppelin: if it freezes again, install the driver from nvidia.com, it worked for me..
[19:19] <porter1> obi_ yeah
[19:19] <ActionParsnip1> Stustoph: yes, he sasys stuff that we get asked loads to save us typing
[19:19] <maxhax> ok thanks
[19:20] <fearful> ActionParsnip1, Transmission works fine
[19:20] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS: ok. So far so good though.
[19:20] <Stustoph> oh right not so good when I have a hard time explaining
[19:20] <Imran> Usage /home/imran/create_package.sh {clear_packages|clear_main|clear|create_main|create_packages|create}
[19:20] <Imran> this is what I get
[19:20] <obi_> porter1: is there anyway to check that for sure, how do i figure out the card i have
[19:20] <roadrock> Tucker1979: provided gnome is installed, use 'options' at the login screen.
[19:20] <SimonS> kdm does some strange thing on my second display..
[19:20] <ActionParsnip1> fearful: i use ktorrent for its web interface :)
[19:20] <maxhax> does anyone know of a good program that syncs with an ipod sound / video
[19:20] <porter1> obi_ check the gateway website for you model
[19:20] <blackjak> : Unknown capture source type 'madwifi-ng' in source 'madwifi-ng,wifi0,DWL-G650'
[19:20] <Tucker1979> i can not see the login screen, it a mess of colour, i can not see anything
[19:20] <roadrock> obi_: in a terminal type 'lspci'
[19:21] <Stustoph> action you got any ideas if I can access some files I download on usual ubuntu 8.10 desktop with the live cd because usual ubuntu is failing to load???
[19:21] <Tucker1979> i need to configure the display but i try safe mode and it does not work
[19:21] <fearful> ActionParsnip1, I guess, I don't really use that just to download :p
[19:21] <ichbinesderelch> Stustoph: you just have to mount the hdd in the livecd
[19:21] <tobywuk> stunatra, if the files are on your hard drive you can, need to mount
[19:21] <Stustoph> how do I do that
[19:21] <tobywuk> ^^
[19:21] <ActionParsnip1> Stustoph: sure, just mount the partitions in the live environment
[19:21] <Imran> am I invisible to you guys?
[19:21] <Stustoph> it is appearing & can access
[19:21] <Stustoph> the hdd
[19:22] <ActionParsnip1> Imran: wassup dude?
[19:22] <Carstairs1> i see you imran
[19:22] <Stustoph> but can't find files when I click through ubuntu folder
[19:22] <roadrock> Tucker1979: try booting to safe mode from your grub boot menu and try re-installing gnome-desktop
[19:22] <Imran> thanks for responding actionparsnip1
[19:22] <Imran> I can't run a sh file
[19:22] <Imran> I run it and it seems to execute
[19:22] <ichbinesderelch> Imran: chmod +x file
[19:22] <Stustoph> any ideas
[19:22] <Imran> but doesn't throw out the two zip files it is supposed to create
[19:22] <Tucker1979> the problem is that if i book from Safemode, i can the dos style screen
[19:22] <ActionParsnip1> Imran: chmod +x <file>; ./<file>

[19:30] <Gaeel> About my resolution problem, if someone could /msg me possible fixes, it'd be good, my resolution is so low that text scrolls up too fast just due to people connecting and leaving
[19:30] <ActionParsnip1> darren_: make sure you dont remove your current kernel too
[19:30] <ikonia> FedeUBS: pardon ?
[19:30] <ikonia> Will_M: didn't see your problem
[19:30] <shadeslayer> roadrock: 128 kbps connection
[19:31] <ikonia> Will_M: if you ask I'm sure someone will be able to help
[19:31] <nightrid3r> FedeUBS nope we're here for the pron
[19:31] <Will_M> ikonia: Hey I have a problem. I am running Ubuntu 8.10 on a PC and when I type with CAPS lock and use it to type in Capitol letters, the second letter is always capitol also: e.g. HEy instead of: Hey. Anyone know about this? Same on more then one computer.
[19:31] <pop79> fude: what do you mean
[19:31] <xie041> help
[19:31] <ikonia> Will_M: I've never seen that problem
[19:31] <pop79> ubottu ask
[19:31] <FedeUBS> i have a problem with my resolution
[19:31] <adaptr> Will_M: yes, CAPS lock will force all letters to upper case
[19:31] <xie041> anyone could help me?
[19:31] <Will_M> adaptr: I understand that
[19:31] <ikonia> Will_M: do you get the same behaviour if you use shift instead of caps lock
[19:32] <Atlantes_> i use ubuntu 8.10 x64, i changed sources.list so i had medibuntu. Then i installed skype. In Sound devices in skype i set sound in and sound out to pulse. in Ubuntu i set all the microphone sliders to 100%. I hear everyone but they don't hear me. Maybe someone can help me
[19:32] <Will_M> adaptr: but when I type it makes the next letter Capitol even though it I already undid CAPS lock
[19:32] <dayo2> netsplit?
[19:32] <dayo2> looks like
[19:32] <_VIM_> maxhax: has anyone answered your ipod question yet? If not I found this might help..http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/itunes#ipod.
[19:32] <ikonia> dayo2: nope
[19:32] <Will_M> No, not when I use SHIFY
[19:32] <Will_M> *shift
[19:32] <shadeslayer> guys and gals any idea??
[19:32] <adaptr> Will_M: you typed too fast
[19:32] <roadrock> shadeslayer: ah, well that calls for apt-get a 12 pack of beer and wait. sorry i never used a livecd, try the ubuntu doc sites or keep asking. if your sources file uses the cdrom then yeah it oughta work.
[19:32] <ikonia> Will_M: so the shift key behaves normal, but caps lock doesn't
[19:33] <Tucker19798> can anyone help or point me in the right direction
[19:33] <maxhax> _VIM_ thanks
[19:33] <Will_M> Well, ok, I usually just use CAPS though. Ha. JUst wanted to see if anyone knew what the problem was.
[19:33] <shadeslayer> hehe,well ill rather download then
[19:33] <Will_M> Thanks anyway
[19:33] <_VIM_> maxhax: np
[19:33] <shadeslayer> Thanks anyways
[19:33] <ikonia> Will_M: worth logging a bug for
[19:33] <Will_M> Ya I will definitely do that
[19:33] <mr> hi all
[19:33] <Will_M> ikonia: do you have the link to submit bugs?
[19:33] <ikonia> !launchpad > Will_M
[19:34] <Will_M> Never had to do that before
[19:34] <Will_M> Ok
[19:34] <ActionParsnip1> !bugs
[19:34] <Gaeel> Anyone know how to force a 1024*768 resolution? The "screen resolution" tool in the preferences isn't giving me that option
[19:35] <ActionParsnip1> Gaeel: have you installed video drivers?
[19:35] <ActionParsnip1> Gaeel: you can set it in xorg.conf
[19:35] <Tucker19798> what do i type on the dos style screen to sort out my graphics problem
[19:35] <Gaeel> ActionParsnip1: it was working at 1024*768 about an hour ago, and then it stopped working when I changed the resolution for a game...
[19:35] <xie041_> could not play rm and rmvb
[19:35] <xie041_> ?
[19:36] <xie041_> just voice,no graphic
[19:36] <Guest18649> did anybody use lampp?
[19:36] <Gaeel> What folder is xorg.conf in?
[19:36] <dayo2> Guest18649: yes
[19:36] <Izinucs> /etc/X11/xorg.conf Gaeel
[19:36] <Lasivian> I'm running Gnome and I can;t figure out how to list wireless networks by strength
[19:36] <nightrid3r> Gaeel /etc/x11
[19:36] <dries> Tucker19798: hehehe, funny question. Did you try right-clicking the desktop and selecting "change desktop background"
[19:36] <FedeUBS> I have installed the nvidia drivers ver 177, and I can't set the resolution to 1280x1024, because a black screen appears when I set it, my monitor is a tft 17
[19:36] <Guest18649> how do i get the rights for using it?
[19:37] <ActionParsnip1> Gaeel: if a game screws your res, restart the x server
[19:37] <zash> Guest18649: llp ftw
[19:37] <pop79> FedeUBS: good, thats the way to ask :)
[19:37] <dayo2> Lasivian: have u tried clicking on the networking icon?
[19:37] <Guest18649> yes
[19:37] <Izinucs> Weird problem.. I ripped a dvd and it plays in mplayer fine.. it will not show the video in vlc or totem but does have sound.. any idea why?
[19:38] <jim_p> !nfs
[19:38] <Guest18649> the lampp folder lies in /opt/lampp
[19:38] <Gaeel> ActionParsnip1: how do I restart the x server?
[19:38] <ActionParsnip1> Gaeel: ctrl+alt+backspace
[19:38] <Gaeel> And if I've rebooted my computer already isn't that already done?
[19:38] <Izinucs> Gaeel: or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[19:38] <_VIM_> Guest18649: that sounds more like an Xampp setup than Lamp
[19:38] <Guest18649> and i can't open the htdocs folder
[19:39] <_VIM_> why not just use Lamp? xampp sucks
[19:39] <_VIM_> !Lamp
[19:39] <ActionParsnip1> _VIM_: some users like an x server
[19:39] <Condoulo> ok, I have a question. I have Compiz Fusion enabled, and I am having a bit of an issue where video playback in totem player (or any media player for that matter) is sorta flashy. Is there any way to fix this?
[19:40] <Guest18649> i use lampp but i can't work with it
[19:40] <Guest18649> :S
[19:40] <ikonia> Guest18649: why ?
[19:40] <Izinucs> Condoulo: I fixed that with a better video driver for my nvidia
[19:40] <Condoulo> Izinucs, eh. I use ATI.
[19:40] <FedeUBS> I have installed the nvidia drivers ver 177, and I can't set the resolution to 1280x1024, because a black screen appears when I set it, my monitor is a tft 17
[19:40] <Izinucs> Condoulo: sorry don't know much about the ATI's..
[19:40] <ActionParsnip1> FedeUBS: try adding more info about your monitor in xorg.conf
[19:41] <Guest18649> because i haven't got the rights for editing or something
[19:41] <Condoulo> anybody here experienced with ATI?
[19:41] <Cpudan80> Is there a command line way to add deb source lines to /apt/sources.list ?
[19:41] <carlos> hello can someone help me installing screensavers please?
[19:41] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS, it happened again!!!!
[19:41] <dries> Guest 18649: use the sudo command?
[19:41] <ActionParsnip1> Guest18649: make sure you use sudo /gksudo when accessing
[19:41] <ikonia> Cpudan80: echo $line > /etc/apt-/sources.list
[19:41] <Guest18649> yes
[19:41] <SimonS> Led_Zeppelin: nvidia.com
[19:41] <ikonia> Cpudan80: or open it with a text editor
[19:41] <Cpudan80> ikonia: shouldnt it be >>
[19:41] <Izinucs> FedeUBS: also check xorg for what driver is listed there.. gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.  on the driver line it should show nvidia not vesa or nv or anything else
[19:41] <ikonia> Cpudan80: all lwell done >>
[19:42] <ikonia> Cpudan80: well caught
[19:42] <Cpudan80> ikonia: hehe
[19:42] <Cpudan80> Im not a newb!
[19:42] <Cpudan80> :-P
[19:42] <dayo2> carlos: sudo aptitude install gnome-screensaver
[19:42] <Cpudan80> Do you really need the src lines?
[19:42] <ikonia> Cpudan80: that could have been bad - well spotted
[19:42] <Lasivian> dayo2: that pops up a list of located wireless networks, but does not seem to have sorting options
[19:42] <ikonia> Cpudan80: if your not building source packges, remove them
[19:42] <ActionParsnip1> Cpudan80: they are used with apt-build :)
[19:42] <ikonia> Cpudan80: that's all they are there for apt-get source $package
[19:42] <FedeUBS> it says nvidia
[19:42] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS, how do I figure out my graphics product type and series?
[19:42] <dayo2> Lasivian: yeah
[19:42] <Guest40107> dayo 2 donesnt matter if i have kde 4.1?
[19:43] <SimonS> i think nvidia-settings tells you
[19:43] <ActionParsnip1> Led_Zeppelin: lspci | grep -i vga
[19:43] <dayo2> Guest40107: ?
[19:43] <Guest40107> dayo2 im carlos, they change my nickname
[19:43] <Guest40107> i have kubuntu
[19:44] <FedeUBS> I have this:    Option         "metamodes" "1024x768 +0+0"
[19:44] <FedeUBS> if I put 1280x1024 +0+0"   a black screen appears
[19:44] <Cpudan80> ikonia: ok so how about importing the key file
[19:44] <Cpudan80> ikonia: like the little screencast for the PPA says to save it to a file then import it... blah
[19:44] <dayo2> Guest40107: oh. well i don't know what screensaver kde uses. maybe try: sudo aptitude install xscreensaver
[19:44] <badpc> anyone use clamav?
[19:45] <dries> badpc: why do you use it?
[19:45] <ActionParsnip1> FedeUBS: have you install nvidia drivers
[19:45] <FedeUBS> yes
[19:45] <dries> no need to in Ubuntu.. (unless you want to be nice to windows users :P-
[19:45] <FedeUBS> version 177
[19:45] <badpc> dries: no was just wondering if i need to?
[19:45] <Led_Zeppelin> ActionParsnip1, thanks
[19:45] <masiddiqui> hello
[19:45] <Led_Zeppelin> it seems I have to goto CLI mode. I am not sure how to get into CLI mode SimonS
[19:45] <dries> nop, you don't
[19:45] <shadeslayer> hi
[19:45] <masiddiqui> i need some help here
[19:45] <dries> no virusses
[19:45] <SimonS> Led_Zeppelin: init 3
[19:46] <dries> just make shure no one lurs you into formatting your partition :D
[19:46] <Wez> hey folks, can someone point me at docs on automated (like kickstart) installs for ubuntu 8.10 server?  I've found docs for an older version and I'm having trouble making that work with 8.10
[19:46] <Led_Zeppelin> hmm. just run that?
[19:46] <Led_Zeppelin> init 3 ?
[19:46] <Guest40107> ok thanks i have this question because im really new and i dont know whats happens if i combine kde with gnome
[19:46] <_VIM_> !Virus
[19:46] <_VIM_> | badpc*
[19:46] <mr_green> how can i get the right for the folder /opt ??
[19:46] <_VIM_> forgot the pipe command sorry
[19:46] <dries> guest40107: you use one of the two
[19:46] <ActionParsnip1> Guest40107: you get a load of stuff on your system and you can run both kde apps and gnome apps
[19:46] <dries> but the apps should run on both
[19:47] <rewt> doesn't that cause a rift in the space-time continuum?
[19:47] <dries> hahaha
[19:47] <dries> rewt: last time I tried it did ..
[19:47] <f_newton> kde apps run ok in gnome but gnome apps dont run so well in kde
[19:47] <rewt> lol
[19:47] <ActionParsnip1> Guest40107: one will be the running DE but the other apps can be used
[19:47] <dayo2> j
[19:48] <mr_green> how can i get the rights for the folder /opt ??
[19:48] <FedeUBS> if I tried to change the resolution it says 1280x1024(5:4), and not 1280x1024(4:3)
[19:48] <badpc> dries: so theres no need for defrag or malware on linux?
[19:48] <dries> mr_green: sudo su?
[19:48] <ActionParsnip1> mr_green: ls -l /opt
[19:48] <dries> nop, both aren't nescesarry
[19:48] <mr_green> doesn't works :S

[19:48] <mohmed> 062d06280627064a062806460627
[19:49] <f_newton> lol no need for defrag but its a good idea to get rkhunter on a separate disk to run independently of your hard drive and use chkrootkit occasionally to check for things
[19:49] <badpc> dries: how about disk cleanup?
[19:49] <f_newton> sorry to butt in
[19:49] <Guest40107> other thing, when i put an icon in my desktop put in the top left side, do i have an option like in windows to have all icons in a row?
[19:49] <dries> don't even know if we have that in Ubuntu.. I don't need it anyway
[19:50] <blackjak> is there anyone who can help me configuring kismet?
[19:50] <ActionParsnip1> badpc: temp is emptied on reboot, sudo apt-get clean will remove old debs
[19:50] <f_newton> cleanup is in ubuntu
[19:50] <blackjak> is there anyone who could help me configuring kismet?
[19:50] <FedeUBS> ?
[19:50] <dries> guest: right mouse on desktop / check "keep aligned"
[19:50] <wirelessdreamer> anyone know of a way to blacklist devices from using hid, without patching the kernel module before compile?
[19:50] <rdw200169> badpc, generally, for cleanup, all you have to do is clean out a very small amount of directories
[19:51] <ma5t3rw1tt> Hey guys, I have a little problem that maybe someone can help me with. I have a 1gig USB flash drive. I used the Live CD of Ubuntu 8.10 to create a Bootable USB Stick. Well it completed successfully and when I boot into it the first time, it works like a charm. Now after I do some changes, like say change the wallpaper or download something, I boot into it a second time to see if it works and all I keep getting is the B
[19:51] <rewt> ma5t3rw1tt, you were cut off at "... and all I keep getting is the B"
[19:51] <shadeslayer> is the??
[19:51] <rdw200169> badpc, your trash, in ~/.local/Trash (or something like that, they moved it), then the stuff in /var like log files and stuff, but 99% of that isn't an issue, and then there's /tmp which gets cleaned out every time you restart
[19:51] <dries> ma5t3rw1tt: it's supposed to be a live-cd.
[19:51] <maxhax> hi. whats the problem when i put su in to terminal and put my password it says Authentication failure
[19:52] <f_newton> lol
[19:52] <mikedraven28> pls help problem with my ati x1200 card in ubuntu 8.10 ... all works fine except full screen games it gives scrambled image
[19:52] <dries> you should install a complete version of ubuntu on it to keep your changes, or make them recursive (dunno exactly how to do that)
[19:52] <ActionParsnip1> ma5t3rw1tt: make sure you are the owner of your home folder and its chmodded 755 throughout
[19:52] <f_newton> sudo in ubuntu
[19:52] <dolo> hey i get a wierd error when i logg in now
[19:52] <f_newton> sudo -i for root path
[19:52] <rdw200169> badpc, and for the packages thing mentioned, apt is configured by default to swamp out the big downloaded packages regularly
[19:52] <Thanatoast> After giving up on Network Manager for a static IP, I uninstalled it and installed wicd, now I have no network: "current network not found" Any suggestions on how to get my network back and hopefully set a static IP?
[19:52] <dolo> it says home /.dmrc is being ignored
[19:52] <mikedraven28> i've got stuck twice in alien arena
[19:52] <maxhax> hi. whats the problem when i put su in to terminal and put my password it says Authentication failure
[19:52] <shadeslayer> !ati | f_newton
[19:52] <cirno__> wrong password?
[19:52] <jrib> !root | maxhax
[19:53] <badpc> linux rules!
[19:53] <ma5t3rw1tt> @dries: Well I watched a video on Revision3.com called Systm and they even had a video showing you to do it.
[19:53] <shadeslayer> yeah we know
[19:53] <dolo> anyone know what that could be?
[19:53] <dolo> should i delee the .dmrc file?
[19:53] <maxhax> isnt root password my normal log in password
[19:53] <jrib> maxhax: no
[19:53] <rdw200169> badpc, most of your wasted space ends up in /usr/share and that's due to installed packages that you don't need...
[19:53] <dolo> maxhax: no your just a user
[19:54] <rdw200169> badpc, and that's always kinda
[19:54] <maxhax> so instead what should i do
[19:54] <rdw200169> badpc, 'user dependent'
[19:54] <maxhax> i want to extract an file
[19:54] <f_newton> maxhax ubuntu uses sudo for most things and if you need root path without /sbin/ you need to use sudo -i
[19:54] <FedeUBS> I have installed the nvidia drivers ver 177, and I can't set the resolution to 1280x1024, because a black screen appears when I set it, my monitor is a tft 17
[19:54] <FedeUBS> in my xorg I have this:    Option         "metamodes" "1024x768 +0+0", if I put 1280x1024 +0+0"   a black screen appears
[19:54] <FedeUBS> if I tried to change the resolution it says 1280x1024(5:4), and not 1280x1024(4:3)
[19:54] <jrib> maxhax: double click on it
[19:54] <maxhax> on what
[19:54] <dries> ma5t3rw1tt: did you try a google search on that? should be a lot of walktrougs out there (dunno how to myself thats wy I say google it)
[19:54] <jrib> maxhax: on the file you want to extract?
[19:54] <iD_J> !help when i report bugs on launchpad with apport, it says my packages are outdated when i have more recent ones than it states
[19:55] <badpc> rdw200169: you know anything about the ext4 filesystem?
[19:55] <dolo> maxhax: root is not given to help with security so even if someone did hypotheticly figure out your password they could not have root access to do anything melicuous to your system on a side note with root privlages new users have an easyer time breaking things
[19:55] <f_newton> ext4 is not ready for prime time
[19:55] <ifroog> !find klauncher
[19:55] <cooldduuudde> is der an ext4 also?
[19:55] <rdw200169> badpc, note, though, that if you want to know whats wasting your space, that you can use the Disk Usage analyzer, Applications -> accessories
[19:55] <ifroog> !locate klauncher
[19:55] <sebsebseb> badpc:  that's an option in the next one
[19:55] <sebsebseb> badpc: next Ubuntu
[19:55] <sebsebseb> badpc: in April
[19:55] <maxhax> so whats the point with a root password if you dont know it ? =P
[19:55] <rdw200169> badpc, i read a little about it, but i have not tried it... i'm pretty happy w/ext3
[19:55] <ifroog> !find klauncher
[19:55] <ifroog> huh ? :S
[19:55] <sebsebseb> badpc: it will be faster than Ext3
[19:55] <ActionParsnip1> maxhax: there isnt one
[19:56] <f_newton> lol maxhax
[19:56] <dries> ifroog: jup, and it runs fine for me.. (but not yet mainstream: more testing is advised)
[19:56] <dolo> maxhax: use sudo its basicly the same thing
[19:56] <ActionParsnip1> !root | maxhax
[19:56] <maxhax> ok next problem
[19:56] <FedeUBS>  I have installed the nvidia drivers ver 177, and I can't set the resolution to 1280x1024, because a black screen appears when I set it, my monitor is a tft 17
[19:56] <FedeUBS> in my xorg I have this:    Option         "metamodes" "1024x768 +0+0", if I put 1280x1024 +0+0"   a black screen appears
[19:56] <FedeUBS> if I tried to change the resolution it says 1280x1024(5:4), and not 1280x1024(4:3)
[19:56] <maxhax> i typed sudo - 1
[19:56] <Ethosser> can I rename my hostname by simple editing etc/hostname ?
[19:56] <ifroog> dries, THing is i get a klauncher error when i run amarok.
[19:56] <maxhax> -i
[19:56] <Ethosser> or will it kill my install? :D
[19:56] <badpc> sebastien_: yeah thats what i heard!
[19:56] <dolo> apt -get a life
[19:56] <maxhax> and put  my password then i putted tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.tar.gz -C /opt
[19:56] <maxhax> to extract the xampp file
[19:56] <ifroog> so, i was wondering if i have to install that applications, but then again. why is amarok using klauncher which is in a xfce wm.
[19:56] <stroyan> dolo: Your error message is discussed at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/7296 .  Perhaps you to have a file permissions problem.
[19:56] <dries> ifroog: what dous it say?
[19:57] <rdw200169> badpc, i'm one of those ubuntu users that likes to stay 6 months behind so i can stay nice and stable...
[19:57] <dries> does***
[19:57] <maxhax> and it said: tar: xampp-linux-1.7.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
[19:57] <maxhax> tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[19:57] <maxhax> tar: Child returned status 2
[19:57] <maxhax> tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[19:57] <FloodBot2> maxhax: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:57] <rewt> FedeUBS, 1280x1024 is 5:4
[19:57] <f_newton> wise decision rdw200169
[19:57] <rdw200169> badpc, so 6 months after you have ext4, i *might* actually take a shot at it (after all the problems are works out)
[19:57] <jrib> maxhax: why don't you install lamp through the repositories?
[19:57] <dries> hmm, dunno if it runs fine in a xfce..
[19:57] <maxhax> ok how?
[19:57] <jrib> !lamp | maxhax
[19:57] <badpc> rdw200169: i like to try all the new stuff unstable
[19:57] <f_newton> ext4 not recommended at this time.... check back later please
[19:57] <woodyb> I can't login at all.  I keep getting thrown back to the brown login screen. I am using 8.10 for awhile now. any help please?
[19:57] <rdw200169> f_newton, that, and i absolutely hate setting up a new version with my 1,000,000+ customizations
[19:57] <ifroog> dries, It says "cannot talk to klauncher"
[19:58] <cooldduuudde> badpc rdw200169 would it be possible to make est3 into ext4 without formatting?
[19:58] <FedeUBS> ah ok
[19:58] <f_newton> lol build your own install rdw200169
[19:58] <rewt> FedeUBS, what's the lcd's native resolution?
[19:58] <FedeUBS> 1280x1024
[19:58] <rdw200169> badpc, now, don't get me wrong, i do that too, but its on a case by case situation, for example, i use many applications that are cutting edge from the PPA's
[19:58] <maxhax> ok...
[19:58] <rdw200169> cooldduuudde, i sincerely doubt it
[19:58] <maxhax> il read the website.
[19:58] <f_newton> good choice maxhax
[19:59] <rdw200169> f_newton, now lets not get crazy here... i'm not into 'linux from scratch' stuff *heheh*
[19:59] <badpc> Cool_Nick: i believe there is a way to do so though im not sure how yet
[19:59] <rdw200169> f_newton, what i do is more like "a little bit of enhances regularly over a long period of time"
[19:59] <f_newton> rdw200169: you can build a quickstart or something that will automagically pull down your desired apps w/ubuntu ...
[19:59] <Besogon> Where can I find icon files in Linux? (I need name icon for edit menu)
[19:59] <dries> ifroog: if you use xkfc I don't think you can use Klauncher..
[19:59] <f_newton> that depends on the distro used Besogon in ubuntu Im not sure
[20:00] <rdw200169> f_newton, oh, i know, stuff like dpkg --get-selections, etc...
[20:00] <Ursinha> ifroog, klauncher is a kde stuff thing
[20:00] <Don> RaceFan
[20:00] <stroyan> dolo: You should check the ownership and permissions of ~ and ~/.dmrc.  "ls -ld ~ ~/.dmrc"    They should be owned by your account name.  .dmrc should have -rw------- permissions.
[20:00] <Ursinha> ifroog, if you run a kde app, it will use it
[20:00] <f_newton> well Im a redhat oldtimer rdw200169 and not too familiar with ubuntu except for very early deb
[20:00] <maxhax> I putted sudo tasksel install lamp-server in treminal and it opened some blue thing
[20:00] <maxhax> what is happening
[20:00] <rdw200169> f_newton, but that doesn't make me hate it any less!  problems *always* come up... that, and you *never know* if your /home will upgrade well...
[20:00] <xie041_> ....
[20:00] <ifroog> dries, ah, ok
[20:00] <maxhax> im total noob i know
[20:00] <FedeUBS> rewt: when I put that resolution, a black screen appears,
[20:00] <dolo> it does i followed the tutorial and ima logg out and logg back in
[20:00] <ubuntu810> hi guys
[20:01] <Ursinha> ifroog, when you installed amarok it certainly installed a lot of kde-* dependencies
[20:01] <ifroog> dries, Never mind that, do you know how i can change kde theme from gnome?
[20:01] <f_newton> build your /home on a separate partition rdw200169 and custom partition on new installs
[20:01] <Ethosser> what's the best way to rename a ubuntu server? I head it can mess alot of things up ;o
[20:01] <Besogon> f_newton, Im use ubuntu (with installed xfce) Do you know it? Where can I get names of icons?
[20:01] <dries> ifroog: you have to install the KDE packages
[20:01] <stealth_tty1> while trying to change my drivers to get better fps in wow under wine, I seriously messed up my system. After running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" it wouldnt start up my X server :| It complained about not being able to find a usable screen. Ive found that happens when I turn on the kernel frame buffering device, if I turn it off, I get graphics, but no opengl. Wich makes wow pointless :| any help PLEASE?
[20:01] <rdw200169> f_newton, that's what i do.  i just wonder many times, if a new version of know will trash my gconf settings (for example...)
[20:02] <Lasivian> is there any way to sort the list of wireless networks in Gnome?
[20:02] <ifroog> dries, yes, i have kde installed too.
[20:02] <f_newton> heh I am not in the xfce corral at all Besogon sorry I cant help
[20:02] <rdw200169> f_newton, *gnome not know
[20:02] <stroyan> Besogon: There are a lot of icons under /usr/share/icons/*
[20:02] <ifroog> dries, But i cannot run kcontrol.
[20:02] <ifroog> to configure the theme.
[20:02] <dries> k, then logg off and choose KDE environment for this session
[20:02] <ifroog> bash: kcontrol: command not found
[20:02] <dries> yes, but you don't have to run klauncher to log off no?
[20:02] <rdw200169> f_newton, it should be *strongly suggested* by the installer to set up a separate /home for that specific reason, but i understand why it isn't
[20:03] <f_newton> rdw200169: thats anyone's guess.... but the good news is as linux matures it becomes more reliable during upgrades etc which I always recommend clean install
[20:03] <cambazz> hello. how do I tell if one package is installed or not
[20:03] <f_newton> rpm -q (package)
[20:03] <Thanatoast> After giving up on Network Manager for a static IP, I uninstalled it and installed wicd, now I have no network: "current network not found" Any suggestions on how to get my network back and hopefully set a static IP?
[20:03] <cooldduuudde> cambazz using synaptic
[20:03] <ifroog> dries, never mind, the klauncher issue, i fixed it by running kdeinit
[20:03] <Reformer81> I'm trying to unmount a partition, but I get an "in use" error.  How do I find out what process is using that partition?  I have no open files and/or file browsers pointing to that location.
[20:03] <rdw200169> f_newton, I, also, always do a clean install.  i find that dist-upgrades never quite turn out the way i want them to
[20:03] <D99> Is there anyway I can install the Java 6 update 12. The PM only has Java 6 update 10
[20:03] <dries> ifroog: glad it works now
[20:04] <ActionParsnip1> Reformer81: lsof | grep /dev/<partition name>
[20:04] <f_newton> rdw200169: that is true for every distro linux or not
[20:04] <Besogon> stroyan, I know it. but there only system icons (for themes I mean)...
[20:04] <ifroog> dries, Yeah :) but i dont like the white kde theme on my black gnome theme.
[20:04] <cooldduuudde> how can i get shockwave in ubuntu?
[20:04] <ifroog> its a contrast and it looks ugly. i wish i could change that.
[20:04] <Reformer81> ActionParsnip1: That does nothing.
[20:04] <rdw200169> cooldduuudde, i don't think its possible, yet.  we do have flash 10 player, but not that (i think)
[20:04] <dyhex> hi
[20:04] <ubuntu810> i have a Q about ubuntu 8.10 32-bit how do i stop it from keeping in list of every video and picture i look at using movie player and f-spot ?
[20:04] <Myrtti> f_newton: since when have you been able to use rpm -q (package) in UBUNTU?!
[20:04] <dyhex> there
[20:04] <ActionParsnip1> cooldduuudde: you will need to run a browser via wine, shockwave is windows only
[20:04] <dyhex> i try to install
[20:04] <dyhex> openvpn
[20:05] <FloodBot2> dyhex: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:05] <dyhex> wzell
[20:05] <rdw200169> cooldduuudde, yeah, i was gonna say that, you *can* get IE in wine, and use shockwave that way
[20:05] <f_newton> bleah
[20:05] <ActionParsnip1> Reformer81: you need to change the command to name the partition you are wanting to unmount
[20:05] <stroyan> Besogon: What icon do you seek?  What do you mean by "name icon for edit menu" ?
[20:05] <FedeUBS> I have installed the nvidia drivers ver 177, and I can't set the resolution to 1280x1024, because a black screen appears when I set it, my monitor is a tft 17
[20:05] <FedeUBS> in my xorg I have this:    Option         "metamodes" "1024x768 +0+0", if I put 1280x1024 +0+0"   a black screen appears
[20:05] <cooldduuudde> ActionParsnip1 rdw200169 i tried it wid firefox windows and shockwave but it crashes often in wine
[20:05] <Reformer81> ActionParsnip1: I did.   When I hit enter, it just goes to the next line and sits there.
[20:05] <dyhex> i try to install openvpn i got a problem on the configuration
[20:05] <dyhex> file
[20:06] <rdw200169> cooldduuudde, you could also, if you have a fast computer, use VirtualBox w/ WIndows, and do it that way
[20:06] <dyhex> can anyone help plz
[20:06] <dries> ifroog: I prefer gnome, so I didn't test KDE very touroughly. But can't you change the collor in the settings?
[20:06] <f_newton> sounds like wine to me cool
[20:06] <Reformer81> ActionParsnip1: Ah... it's just slow :P
[20:06] <Reformer81> Sorry
[20:06] <f_newton> lol I meant cooldduuudde
[20:06] <dyhex> i got this erro r
[20:06] <rdw200169> dyhex, it would be best to try #openvpn
[20:06] <cooldduuudde> rdw200169 can i get virtualbox thru synaptic?
[20:07] <ifroog> dries, im talking about apps like konqueror, amarok that i love. Im on gnome though. But i like to make those kde apps darker to match my gnome theme.
[20:07] <dyhex> i got this error
[20:07] <dyhex> http://paste.ubuntu.com/121546/
[20:07] <dyhex> no one help
[20:07] <Reformer81> ActionParsnip1: But it returned no results.
[20:07] <dyhex> i think there is no buddy on line
[20:07] <NativeAngels> can anyone tell me how to set up the login info for webhosting

[20:08] <abc2xyz> any good book on linux kernel?
[20:08] <Reformer81> ActionParsnip1: I'm trying to umount /dev/sda1
[20:08] <rdw200169> cooldduuudde, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox
[20:08] <stroyan> dyhex: Did you source the "./vars" file?
[20:08] <ikonia> abc2xyz: amazon.com - this is ubuntu support only
[20:08] <dries> ifroog: google this please "
[20:08] <dries> QGtkStyle"
[20:08] <cooldduuudde> rdw200169 ty
[20:08] <dries> should help you out..
[20:08] <ifroog> i did, they say to edit threw kcontrol
[20:08] <ActionParsnip1> Reformer81: what mount point is that used for?
[20:08] <ifroog> dries,
[20:08] <abc2xyz> ikonia meaning?
[20:09] <Reformer81> ActionParsnip1: It's mounted at /media/Temp
[20:09] <dyhex> i don't know how to do ?
[20:09] <Reformer81> ActionParsnip1: I've tried umounting the mountpoint and the device itself.
[20:09] <Reformer81> http://www.triplejack.com/remote.php?affcode=431137-8cc09845214004717851f3ae74c5b6d0
[20:09] <Reformer81> crap
[20:09] <dries> yes?
[20:09] <Reformer81> umount: /media/Temp: device is busy.
[20:09] <ikonia> abc2xyz: meaning this channel is for ubuntu realted support - if you look on amazon you'll find lots of good books
[20:09] <rdw200169> cooldduuudde, and, if you want *all* the features VirtualBox has to offer, you *could* use the svn version, but that's a *lot* of work :(
[20:09] <stroyan> dyhex: sudo will clear environment variables such as set by "./vars" unless given a -E option.  The directions may not allow for that.
[20:09] <ifroog> i did, they say to edit threw kcontrol
[20:09]  * f_newton wonders if its too early to start drinking beer 
[20:09] <Besogon> stroyan, I installed xfce afte I had gnome. And need change main menu. So I need all icon. (I can looking name icons in files of gnome menucertainly, but it too bad)
[20:10] <stealth_tty1> with kernel frame buffer device on, I get no GUI, with it off, I get no OpenGl. It was working before I reconfigured xorg
[20:10] <ikonia> Reformer81: make sure you have no terminals or windows using that file ssytme
[20:10] <ikonia> system
[20:10] <dries> ifroog: hahah, okay, srry then: just picked the first thing off google :D
[20:10] <ActionParsnip1> Reformer81: i'd boot to root console and do whatever there, lsof should show open files on partitions. try lsof | grep temp
[20:10] <Reformer81> ikonia: I have.  Nothing is using it.... that I can see.  And lsof doesn't show anything using it either.
[20:10] <abc2xyz> ikonia:  ok
[20:10] <cooldduuudde> rdw200169 ok
[20:10] <ikonia> Reformer81: fuser ?
[20:10] <dyhex> sorry what have to do ?  stroyan

[20:11] <Reformer81> ikonia: That wasn't any clearer lol
[20:11] <dries> okay, gotta go
[20:11] <dyhex> this is my first i face this kind of error
[20:11] <ikonia> Reformer81: the command fuser, run it on that file system
[20:11] <Thanatoast> Is there a better channel to ask about Net Manager and wicd in Ubuntu?
[20:11] <Reformer81> ikonia: Hmm... I got it.

[20:13] <maximilian-schro> hi. is there a way to get the current x / y position of a winow?
[20:13] <stroyan> dyhex: The directions in you error message tell you to edit ./vars to set variables and then "source ./vars" to get those variables set in your shell.  Do that.  But you will also need "sudo -E ./build-ca" to preseve those variables when running build-ca
[20:13] <mchamplain> Hi, when I install Ubuntu i find it really slow when it connect to the internet... I tried to load the live CD and change the 'software source'  before I start the installation but it doesn't seems to make anything faster, I think the installation still use the canadian default server and it's really, really slow (like 50kbps instead of 800kpbs I can get with another server)...  Ideas?

[20:14] <fearful> How can I check if my drivers were installed correctly everything seemed to work fine by default but everyone is having problems with nvidia graphics card, and I have one
[20:14] <mchamplain> FedeUBS: do you have the black screen only with that resolution or every time you change it no matter the resolution?
[20:14] <dyhex> i don't any line with source indication
[20:15] <FedeUBS> only with that
[20:15] <linny1> fearful: it if aint broke dont fix it :)
[20:15] <stroyan> dyhex: It looks like you won't need to modify the defaults.  You will need to source the file to set the environment variables.
[20:15] <fearful> linny1, true, but it says no propiteray drivers found for this system, that means?
[20:15] <Lasivian> is there any way to sort the list of wireless networks in Gnome?
[20:17] <linny1> fearful:that means that it cannot find propritary drivers the ones you are using currently are prolly open source and they are fine for most things what gpu do you have ?
[20:17] <stroyan> dyhex: "source ./vars" is a literal shell command.  You type it at the prompt.
[20:17] <FedeUBS> ?
[20:17] <fearful> linny1, gpu?
[20:17] <Thanatoast> :(

[20:18] <fearful> linny1, I have  Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[20:18] <stroyan> dyhex: That is the script warning you that you are working on files in that directory.  You probably want to copy that aside to your own local directory instead of the original.
[20:19] <rewt> HSNews, 'metric' is sorta like "how much it costs to use this route", so if there's multiple routes to the destination, the lower metric wins
[20:19] <Kerry_Ki810> somebody help me please - trying to get skype to work in Kubuntu 8.10

[20:21] <stroyan> dyhex: It looks like you are working your way through a howto document.  You can follow that.  But if you are told to use sudo you will need "sudo -E" in order to get those environment variables to the command.

[20:26] <tibrox> newt-home, It's driving me nuts!
[20:26] <ActionParsnip1> Tucker1979: wasup?
[20:27] <Snover> tibrox: The best advice is to get a different card with support for hardware mixing, but obviously that can be a bit more challenging with a laptop :)
[20:27] <linny1> Tucker1979:what card have you got
[20:27] <zap1> do you know if there is a way to run apple apps into ubuntu ?
[20:27] <newt-home> I understand tibrox... I do all my sound production work in windows or mac because of that but other then that I am completely linux based
[20:27] <Tucker1979> it a Nvidia g72 card
[20:27] <tibrox> Yeah, and now when I want to chat on Skype I have to go to my windows partition :(
[20:28] <newt-home> tibrox: iirc there is a way to make skype work with linux but I have no clue about it
[20:28] <tibrox> newt-home, I've googled the problem silly
[20:28] <tibrox> newt-home, I even intalled esound :(
[20:29] <newt-home> I was referring to audiophile sound production for producing masters for copy
[20:29] <newt-home> wuttup perlmonkey?
[20:29] <Tucker1979> i try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but that did not work
[20:29] <perlmonkey> how do you carry out cronjobs which require root?
[20:29] <perlmonkey> with sudo
[20:29] <newt-home> sudo -1 ?
[20:30] <perlmonkey> oh, thanks
[20:30] <Tucker1979> and it a DVI cable as well
[20:30] <perlmonkey> newt-home cool nick
[20:30] <newt-home> heh  its a runner up
[20:30] <perlmonkey> whats your nick normally, just newt?
[20:30] <newt-home> f_newton dude
[20:30] <perlmonkey> oh
[20:30] <jhg> i have a question, the system doesn't see/mount any cdroms (audio nor data) i insert, when i try to mount a data cd manually it says no medium found. any idea?
[20:31] <jhg> i also rebooted btw but that didnt help
[20:31] <skate2> does sudo in other linux distros work the same as sudo in ubuntu or do they have diff options?
[20:31] <Snover> jhg: Are you sure your CD drive isn’t broken?
[20:31] <lucie> test
[20:31] <usser> jhg, sounds like a hardware problem? did u install using cd?
[20:31] <newt-home> most distros dont use sudo but it is available skate2
[20:31] <cwurm> skate2: No, it's not the same in other distros.
[20:31] <usser> skate2, it works the same
[20:31] <usser> hehe
[20:31] <ActionParsnip1> jhg: i'd have a read through 'dmesg | tail' when you put a cd in
[20:31] <skate2> :/
[20:32] <lhoersten> whenever I log out of gnome, my screen turns black (backlight still on) and my computer becomes unresponsive. ctrl + alt + backspace/delete do nothing. I don't see a cursor in the top left either. Anyone have any ideas how to debug this?
[20:32] <cwurm> usser, skate2: It does not. Fedora uses su -c 'command' or su -
[20:32] <jhg> Snover: it still worked yesterday, its a possibility but i thought id first check if there are any known issues concerning this
[20:32] <newt-home> imho it provides an uneeded layer of complexity but I dont make the distro
[20:32] <Ethosser> guys how can I take a complete image of ubuntu server without a) affecting anything on the system b) paying for software :D
[20:32] <Ethosser> Need it so if the hdd fails I can just re-image it
[20:32] <usser> cwurm, im just saying if u enable sudo on fedora/centos/redhat it'll behave the same, su is entirely different beast
[20:32] <skate2> cwurm can you install sudo on fedora?
[20:32] <newt-home> yes
[20:32] <newt-home> you can
[20:33] <newt-home> its available for all linux distros
[20:33] <rewt> !clone | Ethosser
[20:33] <rewt> oh maybe not
[20:33] <cwurm> Yup, it's no problem skate2.
[20:33] <usser> Ethosser, boot into live cd find out the name of your harddrive, and do sudo dd if=/dev/sourcehdd of=/dev/target
[20:33] <jhg> ActionParsnip1: it displays various things, no errors i think
[20:34] <usser> Ethosser, where source and target are harddrive names ie sda or sdb, target have to be at least the same size as source
[20:34] <newt-home> the basic purpose of sudo , skate2 , is to allow varying degrees of root access for different users and groups
[20:34] <Snover> jhg: I would recommend putting in a known working boot CD (eg. a CD you have tested in another machine already). That should tell with certainty if it’s a hardware problem or not
[20:34] <Ethosser> ok, thanks
[20:34] <Ethosser> :)
[20:34] <rewt> couldn't the dd target be a file (for easy transport)?
[20:34] <newt-home> it is totally unnecessary for a single user skate2
[20:34] <ActionParsnip1> jhg: if you manually mount it from command line, can you give us the error in a pastebin
[20:34] <skate2> newt-home,  single user?
[20:35] <newt-home> yeah how many people use your machine skate2?
[20:35] <skate2> just me
[20:35] <newt-home> you are one single user arent youi?
[20:35] <perlmonkey> mkisofs -V LABEL -r directory | gzip > backup.iso.gz
[20:35] <skate2> newt-home, yeah but i still have to use sudo because i cangt login as root
[20:36] <jhg> ActionParsnip1: when i do mount /cdrom it says: mount: No medium found and when i do sudo mount /dev/sda /cdrom it says: mount: /dev/sda already mounted or /cdrom busy
[20:36] <rewt> skate2: "sudo passwd" then give a root pass, and login with that
[20:36] <newt-home> its a protection issue skate2 but one that is more of paranoid prevention rather then necessity
[20:36] <boot_loop> If I ran the command 'sudo modprobe -r psmouse' because someone told me this would only disable my touch stick mouse and not my touchpad, but it disabled my touchpad as well, how do I undo that change? or how do I get my touchpad back working??
[20:36] <skate2> rewt well i was told that i should still use sudo because running as root causes processes i start to run as root, such as open office, and that makes the program lesss secure
[20:36] <newt-home> it actually makes it easier to take over your machine through the keyboard skate2
[20:37] <Ethosser> is http://www.partimage.org/Main_Page any good?
[20:37] <Ethosser> looks easier
[20:37] <rewt> yeah, don't run as root
[20:37] <rewt> only login as root if you need to do a lot of root-needing stuff
[20:37] <newt-home> skate2: you should only run as root when not network connected and for maint purposes
[20:37] <rewt> or just "sudo -i" if you need to
[20:37] <skate2> why login as root then i can just sudo -i
[20:37] <skate2> right
[20:37] <newt-home> right
[20:37] <newt-home> what rewt saide
[20:37] <ScottG489> I just changed my fstab and uswsusp.conf file to /dev's for my swap instead of their UUID's. Now it seems to start to work but after a lot of disk activity it just brings me back to the GUI. What should I do?
[20:37] <ActionParsnip1> jhg: wrong command
[20:38] <hayes> ow do i get a backtrace of a perl module
[20:38] <ActionParsnip1> jhg: sudo mount /dev/sdc0 /media/cdrom0
[20:38] <skate2> rewt if i want to switch to a user who doesnt have a login ability do i have to su to root then su to them?
[20:38] <skate2> cause i cant sudo -u non-loginable users like apache
[20:38] <rewt> skate2, i "su thatuser -c /bin/bash"
[20:38]  * newt-home goes back to getting drunk
[20:38] <rewt> not sure if it's "proper"
[20:39] <rewt> but it works
[20:39] <newt-home> thats pretty good rewt
[20:39] <Izinucs> I'd like to slocate all wma files in my ~ and move them to <new directory> from the terminal.. doing it this way will save me hours of locating and copying.
[20:40] <skate2> rewt but i take it loggin in as a nonloginable user is bad and i should just temporarily sudo -u them
[20:40] <usser> Izinucs, use find command
[20:40] <usser> Izinucs, hang on
[20:40] <boot_loop> I need help. I used the 'sudo modprobe -r psmouse' command because i was told it would only disable my touch stick and not my touchpad, but it disabled both, how do I get my touchpad back?
[20:40] <newt-home> unauthorized users are not recommended period
[20:41] <Izinucs> maybe something like .. slocate *wma | -exec cp <something here> <new directory> *  usser *
[20:41] <ScottG489> Does the kernel patch for Tuxonice come with 8.10?
[20:41] <rewt> skate2, i've only done that briefly to double check the user has permissions to exec/read/write/whatever
[20:41] <hayes> did i get caught in a flood of activity?
[20:41] <skate2> rewt if i say 'sudo -i postgres' it says '-bash: postgres no such file or directory'
[20:41] <FM> Izinucs: try this: find ~ .name "*.wma" -exec mv {} /newdirectory \;
[20:41] <usser> Izinucs, more like find ~ -name *.wma -exec mv {} /path/todirectory \;
[20:41] <hayes> did i get caught in a flood of activity?
[20:42] <newt-home> all anonymous users should be limited to user access only skate2 never give then any root access sudo or other wise
[20:42] <jhg> ActionParsnip1: i have no sdc*, only sda, sda1, sda2 and sda5
[20:42] <hayes> did i get caught in a flood of activity?
[20:42] <hayes>  did i get caught in a flood of activity?
[20:42] <FloodBot2> hayes: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:42] <iamjay> hey there.. how can I switch from software rendering to my intel 965 one?
[20:42] <usser> Izinucs, find ~ -name "*.wma" -exec mv {} /path/todirectory \; sorry
[20:42] <rewt> skate2, "su postres -c /bin/bash"
[20:42] <rewt> postgres*
[20:42] <rewt> su, not sudo
[20:42] <FM> Izinucs: sorry, that should read: find ~ -name "*.wma" -exec mv {} newdir \;
[20:42] <Izinucs> FM & usser can I use cp instead of mv..?
[20:42] <pitwalker> hi all, anyone has problems with network manager under Jaunty?
[20:42] <hayes> how do i get a backtrace of a perl module
[20:42] <usser> Izinucs, yes sure
[20:42] <skate2> rewt that says authentication failure
[20:42] <rewt> hm
[20:43] <fearful> My screensaver is disabled but it still goes into it any ideas?
[20:43] <Pariah> I started network upgrade from ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10. the network upgrade was cancelled in the middle. now i try to upgrade again but "new upgrade 8.10 is available" is not showing up.
[20:43] <rewt> did you put int he g i missed?
[20:43] <Pariah> can anybody help
[20:43] <skate2> rewt do i have to be root before i do it?
[20:43] <skate2> rewt yeah i spelled it right
[20:43] <FM> Izinucs: yes you can
[20:43] <Izinucs> FM: usser thanks.. I'll give it a shot. :)
[20:43] <mrasty> UK top on ubuntu bug jam
[20:43] <rewt> umm, maybe
[20:43] <mrasty> http://digg.com/linux_unix/UK_Ubuntu_Team_top_of_the_Ubuntu_Bug_Jam
[20:43] <hayes> how do i get a backtrace of a perl module???
[20:43] <felixsulla> I fyou have WinXP on a box already, what is the best way to also have Ubuntu on it without overwriting/changing XP?
[20:43] <rewt> try:  sudo -u postgres /bin/bash
[20:43] <newt-home> Pariah: try cleaning your synaptic buffer and trying again
[20:43] <rafa_> hello people
[20:43] <hayes> Look! A retard!
[20:43] <Pariah> thanks newt-home
[20:44] <Pariah> i'll do that
[20:44] <SiDi> Pariah: you should just try to update your packages. It's likely that it'll finish downloading what it was downloading. Either, i think the command line is "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" for upgrading, but do a normal update before
[20:44] <FM> Izinucs: good luck
[20:44] <Tucker1979> can i use a Viritul Machine to test some things
[20:44] <skate2> rewt that worked :D
[20:44] <hayes> Look! A retard!
[20:44] <rewt> \o/
[20:44] <usser> felixsulla, repartition your hdd to have some space for ubuntu and just install it into empty space it will find your xp installation and will add a boot option for it
[20:44] <vatja> hello people, I have one question. I'am not able to find amarok2 in synaptic, but I added the line from the installation-instructions to the sources: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/amarok-2.0.1.1
[20:44] <Pariah> i tried normal update before many a times
[20:44] <vatja> any ideas?
[20:44] <rafa_> hey guys, do u know how to burn ps2 games on ubuntu???
[20:44] <FloodBot2> vatja: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:44] <Pariah> but showing no new updates
[20:44] <Pariah> now
[20:44] <ma5t3rw1tt> @ActionParsnip1: Are you there?
[20:44] <rewt> hayes, maybe #perl would be better for that?
[20:44] <pitwalker> Pariah: gksu update-manager -d
[20:44] <hayes> k
[20:45] <pitwalker> Pariah: !!! important !!! if you start under a terminal dont close it!!!!
[20:45] <Pariah> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade showing 0 everything
[20:45] <newt-home> oh lordy..... I am not part of that one pariah
[20:45] <rafa_> how to burn ps2 games on ubuntu???
[20:45] <Pariah> yeah newt i'll try to clear the buffer now
[20:46] <ma5t3rw1tt> I need some quick help. What would be the command where I don't have the busybox when I boot from a bootable USB stick. I was talking with ActionParsnip1 but he don't seem to be here at the moment.
[20:46] <Tucker1979> i still need help with this graphic problems, i need a easy guide to sort this problem out, i got a Nvidia, DVI Cable, Ubuntu 8.10
[20:46] <newt-home> try man apt-get Pariah
[20:46] <skate2> rewt i can also 'sudo -i; su - postgres'
[20:46] <ma5t3rw1tt> Something about making sure the permission is 755 on my home directory so it can properly save
[20:46] <hey_joe> i get segmentation faults and rc-default main process errors when booting from my pci ati video card instead of my onboard intel.. running ubuntu 8.04, any suggestions?
[20:46] <rewt> yeah skate2, but then you're starting up more processes than necessary
[20:46] <hey_joe> boots fine to the onboard video card
[20:46] <skate2> rewt true
[20:46] <boot_loop> Folks, if I removed my touchpad device by typing modprobe -r psmouse, how do I get it back?? How can I reinstall my touchpad?
[20:46] <Tucker1979> i just get a graphic mess, when i boot up Ubuntu
[20:47] <TnEt1> Hi all...any one notice that web surfing in Ubuntu is slow?
[20:47] <newt-home> hey_joe: try booting in to a recovery kernel and making sure your display info is correct
[20:47] <fearful> My screensaver is disabled but it still goes into it any ideas?
[20:47] <boot_loop> TNEt1: not at all, much faster surfing than any windows PC I've used of late
[20:47] <ma5t3rw1tt> TnEt1: Are you using wireless?
[20:47] <TnEt1> No, wired
[20:47] <sagredo> hi, after moving to 8.10 my system hangs at about 50% looking boot for what seems like a full minute
[20:48] <Condoulo> TnEt1, switching from Chrome to Firefox, yeah. I feel the difference.
[20:48] <rewt> TnEt1, are you surfing linux sites or windows sites?
[20:48] <ma5t3rw1tt> TnEt1: hmmmm, maybe its your network
[20:48]  * Condoulo is about to install Chrome in Wine or something.
[20:48] <sagredo> anyone know a fix?
[20:48] <newt-home> need more info sagredo
[20:48] <TnEt1> I will try it. No issues on my OpenSuse PC or XP.
[20:48] <boot_loop> Does anyone know that the command would be to add the module 'psmouse' to my kernel using modprobe??
[20:49] <josher4> ##windows
[20:49] <AdamS42> I don't use nfs and /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs appears to be causing me trouble. Is there a proper way to remove mountnfs?
[20:49] <shausam27> cman will not open durng boot
[20:49] <Elmaron> I read about ubuntu netbook remix
[20:50] <Elmaron> it is supposed to have good asus eee support
[20:50] <Pariah> newt-home plz. tell how to clear the synaptic buffer
[20:50] <Cpudan80> !eee | Elmaron
[20:50] <Pariah> i tried to search the help
[20:50] <Elmaron> but it also ships with specific programs to get "easy into the net"
[20:50] <Elmaron> does the normal ubuntu also support eee that well by now?
[20:50] <wolter> is there a free software which can calculate formulas i write?
[20:50] <upfwnv03> TnEt1 did u disable ipv6 in firefox ?
[20:50] <usser> wolter, octave
[20:50] <newt-home> Pariah: not sure Im more familiar with yum but synaptic is a graphical front end for apt-get so if you open a terminal and do either apt-get --help or man apt-get you will find a cli way of doing it
[20:51] <TnEt1> Yes I did...I will review the steps in case I missed anything.
[20:51] <ma5t3rw1tt> I need some help. I just created a bootable usb stick using a guide over at pendrivelinux.com where you use the live cd to create a bootable usb stick and then you can boot Ubuntu from it. Well upon first boot, everything was fine. Then when I made some changes, like I changed the background & things and then closed out my session then later tried booting from it again, I keep coming to a busybox. I was being told earlier about if
[20:51] <ma5t3rw1tt> I come to busybox again, is to enter a command or something to make sure my home directory is 755. What would the command b so my settings are properly saved when I close my sessions from the USB flash stick?
[20:51] <newt-home> you will have to  close out synaptic first though
[20:51] <Pariah> ok
[20:51] <Pariah> thanks a ton
[20:51] <Pariah> new
[20:51] <upfwnv03> Elmaron try CrunchEEE based on ubuntu but made for the eee
[20:51] <Pariah> i'll try

[20:51] <ubuntu810> hi guys i asked about ubuntu 8.10 and privacy with movie player and f-spot how to get not to keep a list of every movie and picture i look at ?
[20:51] <newt-home> bbiab
[20:52] <Izinucs> FM ok.. another issue.. some of these files have the wrong permissions and won't move.. so I tried "sudo find ~ -name "*.wma" -exec chown <name:name> {} \;  and the same thing again with chmod 777 but it looks like I need to do it recursively. where would I put the -r to make it recursive?
[20:52] <iio> lol
[20:52] <shausam27> cman will not open durng boot i have to ctrl-alt delete to finsh boot

[20:53] <Izinucs> FM: there's gotta be a way to do it.. :)
[20:53] <ma5t3rw1tt> I keep getting a busybox on a USB flash stick bootup, how do I fix this?
[20:54] <ma5t3rw1tt> Was being told ealier that my home directory might be 755 or something like that
[20:54] <FM> Izinucs: what is the exact message you're getting while trying to copy those files?
[20:54] <FedeUBS> hi again
[20:54] <Elmaron> I read the ubuntu eee-related pages
[20:54] <FedeUBS>  I have installed the nvidia drivers ver 177, and I can't set the resolution to 1280x1024, because a black screen appears when I set it, my monitor is a tft 17, in my xorg I have this:    Option         "metamodes" "1024x768 +0+0", if I put 1280x1024 +0+0"   a black screen appears
[20:54] <Elmaron> but it's still not completely clear to me if the default ubuntu does come with eee acpi support or not
[20:54] <Elmaron> or if only the netbook remix does
[20:54] <FedeUBS> someone help
[20:55] <FedeUBS> me
[20:55] <Izinucs> FM: yada yada ... permission denied
[20:55] <Izinucs> FM: yada yada = file location
[20:55] <skate2> how can i tell if a user has a password or not
[20:55] <IndyGunFreak> Elmaron: i had ubuntu 8.10 on my eee 900.. and it worked fine... i sold it however, and bought an AAO w/ a hard drive... and 8.10 works fine
[20:55] <ubuntu810> FedeUBS are you using onboard video ?
[20:55] <FedeUBS> yes
[20:55] <Izinucs> skate2: unless you go to great lengths.. every user on linux has a password
[20:55] <Elmaron> IndyGunFreak: does it "just work fine" or also provide acpi support?
[20:55] <raboof> i have a machine that has 2 disks: 1 removable and 1 fixed.
[20:55] <FedeUBS> ubuntu810:yes
[20:55] <Elmaron> so will the shutdown button and the sleep mode work etc?
[20:55] <ugliefrog> is there a program for ubuntu that allows voice chat  like ventrillo
[20:55] <fearful> My screensaver is disabled but it still goes into it any ideas?
[20:56] <Elmaron> suspend to disk etc
[20:56] <FloatingApplets> Hello, could anyone help me with a problem I have with my applets such as "NetworkManager Applet" and "screenlets-daemon.py" floating in seperate windows rather than stick to the top panel? This happened when I changed to a multiple screen config.
[20:56] <FM> Izinucs: try with "sudo find ~ -name "*.wma" -exec cp -p {} newdir \;"
[20:56] <IndyGunFreak> Elmaron: honestly, i don't remember...
[20:56] <Elmaron> because on archlinux they don't
[20:56] <Elmaron> and that's lame
[20:56] <raboof> i'd like to install ubuntu on the fixed disk, but the machine has no functional cd drive - however, i have a fully functional ubuntu installation on the removable disk
[20:56] <skate2> iziinucs well for instance apache and stuff dont seem to have passwords, they're not loginable
[20:56] <Elmaron> to enable them on archlinux I need a custom kernel
[20:56] <Izinucs> FM: what's the -p option?
[20:56] <ubuntu810> it may be a limitaion of the onboard video
[20:56] <meoblast001> hi
[20:56] <Elmaron> the only distribution where this seems to work is debian eee edition
[20:56] <Elmaron> but it's based on etch and the software is sooo old
[20:56] <ugliefrog> is there a program for ubuntu that allows voice chat  like ventrillo
[20:56] <Pariah> apt-get autoclean is this the command to clear the synaptic buffer
[20:56] <Pariah> य़
[20:56] <dirtybank> ola
[20:56] <raboof> i apt-got 'ubiquity' (the installation application from the livecd), but it appears to expect a '/target' directory
[20:56] <raboof> what does that mean?
[20:56] <Elmaron> so I'd prefer ubuntu, but only if the support is at least as good as debian eee's
[20:56] <FedeUBS> in 7.10 it works
[20:57] <FM> Izinucs: It should preserve the permissions after copying the file. It is not mandatory though
[20:57] <FloatingApplets> Hello, could anyone help me with a problem I have with my applets such as "NetworkManager Applet" and "screenlets-daemon.py" floating in seperate windows rather than stick to the top panel? This happened when I changed to a multiple screen config.
[20:57] <Pariah> i used this command but still upgrade 8.10 is not available
[20:57] <meoblast001> ubuntu says i have permissions to the directory "/var/www" and even says i own it, but when i try to upload files i get "Cannot Make Directory" errors....... why would that be?
[20:57] <laughzilla> heya :) anyone know why a my ubuntu box doesn't detect my boss br-1600 digital mixer when i connect them via usb?  i can't find anything that answers that question online.

[20:58] <FloatingApplets> Hello, could anyone help me with a problem I have with my applets such as "NetworkManager Applet" and "screenlets-daemon.py" floating in seperate windows rather than stick to the top panel? This happened when I changed to a multiple screen config.
[20:58] <RussM> Pariah, If you bring up System / Administration / Software Sources and go to the "Updates" tab, what does it say for "Release Upgrade"?
[20:59] <ubuntu810> i had to change a bios setting to get a higher res.
[20:59] <Hiroga> Hey, I have a question:  I'm trying to run winetricks with sudo, but it tells me that I don't have permission to edit the files.  I have edited files that require root permissions with sudo before.  Any ideas what may be wrong?
[20:59] <Pariah> I'm using Normal Releases options RussM
[20:59] <Pariah> Per the instruction
[20:59] <Pariah> s
[20:59] <ubuntu810> in your bios change the setting from 200 MHz to auto
[20:59] <meoblast001> :/
[20:59] <CaMason> hi guys. I just tried to ran the software update and my system has frozen. Should I hard-reset or wait?
[20:59] <RussM> Pariah, OK. That's what got me the last time. :)
[21:00] <Izinucs> FM: do wma's need an execute bit set?  seems weird.. almost all the wma's copying have either 777 (the ones that I changed) or 333 permissions (-wx-wx-wx)
[21:00] <FedeUBS> 200 Mhz from the video card?
[21:00] <fearful> How can I make xscreensaver default and stop gnome screensaver for ever
[21:00] <Pariah> RussM I've followed all the instructions correctly for the Network Upgrade
[21:00] <Pariah> I
[21:00] <ubuntu810> no its under HD Audio if you have high def audio
[21:00] <usser> Izinucs, executable bit usually gets set when you copy files of fat partition cause fat doesnt know any better.
[21:01] <FM> Izinucs: No, they don't need it. Probably some messy permissions due to copy procedure from a windows file system
[21:01] <FedeUBS> ?
[21:01] <Elmaron> nobody here who knows if ubuntu supports asus eee 1000h acpi or not?
[21:01] <FedeUBS> ubuntu are you talking to me?
[21:01] <Pariah> So how can I get the "New Upgrade available" back
[21:01] <Pariah> RussM
[21:01] <ubuntu810> yes
[21:01] <FloatingApplets> Can anyone help with floating applets?
[21:01] <illumin8> Elmaron, someone suggested using crunchbang linux
[21:01] <Izinucs> usser: FM that would explain it.. obviously what happened here with wma files.. certainly didn't create them on linux ..
[21:01] <Pariah> Can Anyone help
[21:01] <usser> FloatingApplets, just restart xorg, that happens sometimes
[21:02] <FloatingApplets> ok, I'll try
[21:02] <ubuntu810> one sec i will try to paste a screen shot for you
[21:02] <Elmaron> illumin8: I dunno about crunchbang linux, I only know debian eee pc works perfectly fine
[21:02] <FedeUBS> ok
[21:02] <Elmaron> but it is based on debian _etch_
[21:02] <Elmaron> and etch is so old
[21:02] <Elmaron> :/
[21:02] <met_> can anyone help me with getting my intel graphic card to run, I'm trying to install some drivers here: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/install.html... but I get the following error message http://pastebin.com/m151ccc83  how can I get dri2proto to the latest version...
[21:02] <RussM> Pariah, I have no other suggestion, unfortunately. It worked for me, so I never had to dig deeper.
[21:03] <illumin8> Elmaron, crunchbang is a ubuntu based distro, they have a version specificly for eee
[21:03] <IndyGunFreak> crunchbang will probably work fine on an eee.. i've had it on my AAO w/o problems, and they have very similar hardware
[21:03] <illumin8> indeed, im using it now
[21:03] <illumin8> extreamly fast.
[21:03] <dayo2> Screen version 4.00.03 (FAU) 23-Oct-06. ubuntu 8.04. on an empty line when i repeatedly press Backspace of LeftArrow, i get:    g  g  g  g
[21:03] <dayo2> how can i get rid of that?
[21:03] <Elmaron> illumin8 how different is it from ubuntu?
[21:03] <felixsulla> Is there any potential hazard with GRUB overwriting the windos installer?
[21:04] <felixsulla> Or windows startup I mean?
[21:04] <NativeAngels> ive installed vsftpd on my linux box but when dreamweaver goes to transfer files its getting permisons error how do i fix this
[21:04] <dayo2> !grub | felixsulla
[21:04] <ARCKEDA> met_: Pm.
[21:04] <IndyGunFreak> felixsulla: if you mean the windows master boot record, no, there's no real harm in it.
[21:04] <Hiroga> Ahh, ok I found the problem
[21:04] <illumin8> Elmaron, it uses openbox as a window manager instead of gnome, so its slightly diffirent but much more customizable. it comes preinstalled with most of the ubuntu restricted. (flash works out of the box(
[21:04] <Hiroga> I shouldn't have run it with Sudo in the first place
[21:05] <Elmaron> illumin8 does it have ubuntu repositories for software?
[21:05] <felixsulla> I mean, if the machine has XP now, and you add Ubuntu as a dual boot option
[21:05] <Elmaron> e.g. can I install kde 4.2?
[21:05] <illumin8> Elmaron, yes it is able to interface with the gnome-app-install (the add remove tool)
[21:05] <Elmaron> no, I mean what is the packaging base?
[21:05] <felixsulla> This tutorial says grub overwrites the xp loader, and there is no way to get it back. Should I be concerned about taht?
[21:05] <Elmaron> apt-get again? and does it have the same repositories?
[21:05] <jlevy> Anyone familiar with php configuration on a ubuntu server LAMP install?
[21:05] <illumin8> Elmaron, ubuntu 8.10
[21:05] <IndyGunFreak> Elmaron: if you want kde 4.2, why not just install kubuntu?  but yes,... you could install it on crunchbang (crunchbang is more or less ubuntu 8.10, with openbox gui)
[21:06] <Elmaron> and is KDE in those repositories?
[21:06] <Elmaron> IndyGunFreak: because ubuntu fails on eee?
[21:06] <illumin8> Elmaron, yes apt-get package.
[21:06] <Elmaron> at least that seems to be the case
[21:06] <IndyGunFreak> Elmaron: in what manner?.. ubuntu 8.10 worked fine on my eee
[21:06] <IndyGunFreak> which eee do you ahve?
[21:06] <illumin8> Elmaron, you should join the crunchbang channel here they have one and could answer many questions
[21:07] <Elmaron> IndyGunFreak: I have 1000H and I just wanted to know if ubuntu also has the proper acpi drivers
[21:07] <Guest49354> Eeek! I've been battling this ubuntu problem for like a month! I could only login in failsafe mode and my .xsession-errors log says "Executing /usr/bin/gnome-session failed, will try to run x-terminal-emulator "fatal IO error 111"
[21:07] <Elmaron> and nobody here was able to answer... and illumin8 sounded a bit as if no
[21:07] <Pariah> I've followed all the instructions correctly on http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading for upgrade to 8.10
[21:07] <IndyGunFreak> Elmaron: oh thats right.. sorry.
[21:07] <Hiroga> Thanks for the help guys
[21:07] <Guest49354> This happened after upgrading to 8.10
[21:07] <Pariah> but to no avail
[21:07] <TiCPU> is there a way to control fan speed on HP laptops?
[21:07] <The_Joe_> Exactly what does " sudo killall -9 peer " do (don't ask why)
[21:07] <jlevy> Does anyone here use the zend sever debugger on an ubuntu LAMP server?
[21:07] <Guest49354> Is there a number I can call that will charge me to fix this? I really just want this problem fixed
[21:07] <Pariah> the network upgrade was cancelled on an earlier occassion
[21:08] <illumin8> Elmaron, #crunchbang? been logging all night dont see you in the histrory?
[21:08] <ubuntu810> FedeUBS go here its the first setting under advanced:
[21:09] <ugliefrog> teamspeak way to complicated
[21:10] <Izinucs> mumble
[21:10] <Guest49354> I tried completely removing ubuntu-desktop, every package that starts with gnome-* and removed my graphics drivers, and I still could not log into gnome without failsafe! I need some help
[21:10] <Wunderbar> I think I may have just had my first denial of service attack...:(
[21:11] <FedeUBS> I will triy it
[21:11] <RussM> Wunderbar, Any chance you can create a new user and try logging in with that?
[21:11] <FedeUBS> thanks
[21:11] <the_dark_warrio> I've chosen the Tango Icon pack, but the icons in Places top menu haven't changed. Any tips?
[21:11] <Wunderbar> have done...
[21:11] <Wunderbar> more than once..
[21:11] <IndyGunFreak> Wunderbar: even cheap routers protect against that
[21:11] <RussM> Wunderbar, Same on the new user, eh?
[21:12] <Guest49354> If I start failsafe terminal, I can then enter "gnome-session" and it'll start up fine, but according to .xsession-errors it was unable to start when I first logged in
[21:12] <Wunderbar> yeah
[21:12] <Izinucs> Guest49354: do you have an Intel 8200 chipset board?
[21:12] <Wunderbar> sucks
[21:12] <jlevy> anyone familiar with "wrong ELF class" errors?
[21:13] <Guest49354> Izinucs: I am on an M1530 laptop
[21:13] <Slart> jlevy: sounds like you're trying to run something that is not compiled for your current system
[21:13] <Izinucs> Guest49354: k.. nevermind..
[21:13] <Slart> jlevy: like trying to run a 64bit binary or a 32bit system
[21:13] <Pariah> what should i do to upgrade to 8.10. An earlier network upgrade to 8.10 was cancelled. Now I cannot upgrade to 8.10
[21:13] <Pariah> Anybody with solution
[21:14] <Izinucs> Guest49354: since you've removed all gnome- pkgs.. how about, from failsafe,  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to make sure that everything is put back correctly?
[21:14] <adaptr> Pariah: what do you mean that you "can't" upgrade
[21:14] <Guest49354> Izinucs: I did that and it didn't work
[21:14] <Pariah> adaptr. I don't get any upgrade notification
[21:14] <Izinucs> Guest49354: ok.. missed that part of the conversation..
[21:15] <Pariah> i don't get any 8.10 availabe
[21:15] <Pariah> available
[21:15] <Pariah> message
[21:15] <jlevy> Slart: the error happens when I try to load the ZendDebugger.so php extension.  The version i downloaded is marked x86_64.  I am running Ubuntu 8.10 LAMP sever on a virtualbox vm
[21:15] <Slart> jlevy: are you running a 64 bit virtual system?
[21:15] <Pariah> This is happening since on an earlier occasion 8.10 network upgrade was cancelled
[21:15] <adaptr> Pariah: so do it manually : sudo update-manager -c
[21:15] <jlevy> Slart: I don't think so, how can I check?
[21:16] <Slart> jlevy: start a terminal in the vm, run "uname -a"
[21:16] <EdSquareCat> why does ubuntu load with so many kernel versions? (which one should i use?)
[21:16] <Sajuuk> hey guys I wish to be able to connect to my ipod through ubuntu 8.10 server but it doesn't see the ipod, whats wrong?
[21:16] <Tommasa> I saw an article on reddit the other day that explained a command I could pipe anything to to show a little progress bar in the console, but I can
[21:16] <Slart> EdSquareCat: depends on what you want to do with it
[21:16] <Pariah> adaptR it's not working either
[21:16] <Kingsy101> can someone tell me how to run a .jar file on ubuntu?
[21:16] <Tommasa> 't seem to find it... anyone know what it is?
[21:16] <jlevy> Slart: i686
[21:16] <Guest49354> Izinucs: .xsession-errors says executing /usr/bin/gnome-session failed, gnome-terminal: Fatal IO error 111( connection refused) on X server :0.0
[21:16] <g0th> I bought two Zyxel NWA570N wireless ap's to connect my appartment with another appartment on the opposite side of the street. The zyxel ap should be able to make 300 Mbit/s, but I would be ok with the g standard (54 Mbit/s). But at the moment I always have around 1 Mbit/s instead (not even 1/10th of 11Mbit/s). I also tried to set it up when I had both machines opposite to each other (1m). It never achieved great speed. We have quite a few aps
[21:16] <RoastedTiresX> Ed - the most recent one, which is normally at the top. The reason they have multiple kernels is sometimes if you have problems iwth a newer kernel, the older kernel is in the list which gives you the abilitiy to boot to what works for you.
[21:16] <Slart> EdSquareCat: the regular desktop kernel is ok for most occasions
[21:16] <Pariah> It's showing your system is up to date
[21:16] <Sjimmie> EdSquareCat: just pick the generic one and it will automatically select the correct kernel version
[21:16] <Fallen[qa]> blizzkid; Im back again hehe
[21:16] <prince_jammys> Tommasa: pvm maybe
[21:16] <Slart> jlevy: then you have a 32 bit ubuntu system running in your vm.. so you should download a 32 bit version of that file
[21:17] <prince_jammys> Tommasa: excuse me, 'pv'
[21:17] <EdSquareCat> generic one? there are just a bunch of different kernel versions to choose from.
[21:17] <Pariah> I've chosen Normal Releases option for UPdates
[21:17] <blizzkid> wb Fallen[qa] any luck?
[21:17] <Tommasa> prince_jammys: Thanks
[21:17] <FedeUBS1> Ubuntu810, I've checked the bios and there is nothing
[21:17] <Kingsy101> can someone tell me how to run a .jar file on ubuntu?
[21:17] <EdSquareCat> i chose the "highest" one and it just booted in text-mode. i chose another and it booted normally
[21:17] <Slart> !java | Kingsy101
[21:17] <jlevy> Slart: that's what I thought, but the only version is x86_64, which seems like it should work for both
[21:17] <ubuntu810> you changed it from 200 MHz to auto ?
[21:17] <Guest49354> Kingsy101: -java -jar <jarfilename>
[21:17] <FedeUBS1> I can't
[21:18] <Slart> jlevy: it won't.. you can run 32 bit files on a 64 bit system.. not the other way around
[21:18] <Guest49354> Can someone help me get logging into gnome working?
[21:18] <FedeUBS1> send me the screen shot
[21:18] <Guest49354> I tried reinstalling ubuntu-desktop to no avail
[21:18] <rapha> Hi!
[21:18] <rapha> Can you help me get my Logitech QuickCam to work?

[21:19] <mkokotovich> Hello everyone, does anyone know what the default sound server in 9.04 is going to be?
[21:19] <mkokotovich> pulseaudio?
[21:19] <Slart> jlevy: one of the ones marked "i386"
[21:19] <Sjimmie> EdSquareCat: all you need is this package -> linux-image-generic
[21:19] <Slart> !jaunty | mkokotovich
[21:19] <usser_> mkokotovich, still pulse yes
[21:19] <jlevy> Slart: I'll give it a shot, thanks
[21:19] <Slart> mkokotovich: but I'm guessing pulseaudio
[21:19] <g0th> another question: what could be a reason that rsync -rvP --size-only /dir/file /media/usbstick/file is over 5 times faster without "sudo" then it is _with_ "sudo" in front...
[21:19] <Sjimmie> EdSquareCat: that will slect the right version and type of kernel
[21:19] <Slart> jlevy: you're welcome
[21:19] <FedeUBS1> I'll check again
[21:19] <ubuntu810> ok good luck
[21:19] <mkokotovich> thanks
[21:20] <rapha> Slart: I got Logitech QuickCam Express, which uses module "qc-usb". The page you gave me says compile module yourself, but the link it gives does not work ... where should I take it from then?
[21:20] <willy_> hey guys, my wireless is not showing up how can i regain it
[21:20] <kira\> does openbox have 3d support for games like wow yet?
[21:20] <Slart> rapha: you'll need to find the original site for that module.. google might help
[21:21] <rapha> kira\: openbox does not have to support them. it's not a question of the window manager.
[21:21] <usser_> kira\, what does openbox have to do with 3d
[21:21] <Guest49354> gnome sometimes makes me so sad
[21:21] <hemimaniac> hello, im an ubuntu noob
[21:21] <matrix> sometimes i loose my sound on ubuntu i need to reboot and i get the sound back what is wrong with my pc
[21:21] <rapha> Slart: oh found it in Synaptic :)
[21:21] <hemimaniac> need a wee bit of advice
[21:21] <g0th> anyone?
[21:21] <Slart> kira\: virtualbox has some start for 3d support... it's only been available for a short time though.. only works with opengl also, I think
[21:21] <RoastedTiresX> matrix - do you have two sound cards in your computer?
[21:21] <IndyGunFreak> hemimaniac: ask your question
[21:21] <NativeAngels> ive set up a ftp server on my linux box, and want to use dreamweaver to ftp files, it logs on fine, but then get a permision error how do i fix this
[21:21] <matrix> nope just one
[21:21] <Slart> rapha: even better =)
[21:21] <kira\> rapha, usser_, Slart: lol, sorry I meant virtualbox
[21:22] <RoastedTiresX> it may be an issue related to pulse audio, something I'm not too familiar with. I've only ahd trouble with it with multiple sound cards...
[21:22] <kira\> Slart: okay, thanks
[21:22] <hemimaniac> im using ubuntu 8.04 and id like to update the ktorrent version to 3.2, cant seen to find help in this area
[21:22] <Sajuuk> hey guys I wish to be able to connect to my ipod through ubuntu 8.10 server but it doesn't see the ipod in /media/, whats wrong?
[21:22] <Guest49354> can someone help me be able to log into gnome without failsafe? I tried reinstalling ubuntu-desktop and every package starting with gnome-*
[21:22] <blizzkid> is anyone in here who's willing to create me a rtorrent binary for mips?
[21:22] <Slart> kira\: also, it's not available in the version from the repos.. you'll have to download it directly from the virtualbox site
[21:22] <rdw200169> hemimaniac, have you checked the PPA's on launchpad?
[21:22] <Daniel_G> ive got a linux box that comes with some stupid custom kernel thats being a total pain in the ass, whats the easiest way to install a standard server kenel?
[21:22] <usser_> kira\, oh virtualbox, i tried running max payne2, openarena a couple of other games, google earth all seem to work fine, cant say about perfomance penalty all those games are not that demanding
[21:22] <kira\> Slart: okay, thanks for the tip
[21:22] <hemimaniac> h???? rdw200169
[21:23] <rapha> kira\: i doubt it ... VMWare Workstation or even Player *might* work, I think both have an experimental 3D mode
[21:23] <Slart> Daniel_G: sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic or something like that
[21:23] <jlevy> Slart: that worked.  Given the amount of time I wasted using the wrong version, I feel pretty dumb.  Thanks again for your help!
[21:23] <Kingsy101> after I have installed something like openjdk-6-jre can I just double click on a .jar file and it will run?
[21:23] <rapha> Slart: But it doesn't compile :-(
[21:23] <kira\> usser_: okay, thanks. lol, ive tried everything for getting better linux fps in wow (I only get about 8, painfully slow), so virtual box is my last attemtp
[21:23] <Daniel_G> Slart: i thought as much, once ive done that do i need make any other changes? or will it boot into the new kernel on the next restart?
[21:23] <rdw200169> hemimaniac, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=ktorrent
[21:24] <usser_> kira\, you have to run wow in opengl on wine, ie wine wow.exe -opengl

[21:24] <matrix>  0 snd_intel8x0
[21:24] <matrix>  1 snd_mpu401

[21:24] <Kingsy101> hmmm has anyone got any pointers... I have just installed openjdk-6-jre how can I run a jar file?
[21:24] <kira\> usser_: I am :| Trust me, ive tried about everything

[21:26] <erikcc> I did not change permissions of any dot files and let me see if a new user is able to login
[21:26] <Kingsy101> usser_ - I have Open JDK Java 6 web start but that just asked for where I kept cache files and then did nothing
[21:26] <Slart> morphles: download a iso file of 8.10 and use that to upgrade
[21:26] <icons-noob> where would i go to install new icons i've downloaded
[21:26] <Xikkub> does anybody have a dictionary file with REAL words from the dictionary excluding fake words
[21:26] <Slart> morphles: you can download the iso using torrents if you want.. check the download page
[21:26] <jrib> Xikkub: what do you mean by "real" words...?
[21:27] <usser_> Kingsy101, in gnome right click on the file, there should be open with menu, click that in the new window theres a text field at the bottom type java -jar in that and press ok
[21:27] <Xikkub> jrib: the dictionary files i haev contain real words, but they also contain strange, not-real words like IGN and stuff
[21:27] <Xikkub> i need one that is just like the Merian dictionary used for scrabble or something
[21:27] <Kingsy101> usser_ - thanks :)
[21:27] <morphles> Slart: yeach i have iso, bet the peroblems is i have lots of apps that are not in iso. when i upgraded from 7.<something> to 8.04 i had to download like >3Gbs, and now it probably would be even more
[21:28] <IndyGunFreak> icons-noob: is the icon pack a tar file?
[21:28] <timahvo1> Xikkub: you mean like aspell ?
[21:28] <hemimaniac> so rdw200169, i just take the commands from the text page and run them in terminal?
[21:28] <ubuntu810> FedeUBS ok then your bios is older them mine
[21:28] <Xikkub> isnt that just a program to spellcheck?
[21:28] <FedeUBS> yes
[21:28] <ubuntu810> mine is the GF8200A
[21:28] <Slart> morphles: oh.. ok.. I see.. there are also dvd's available.. those contain even more packages.. not sure if that will help you
[21:28] <Xikkub> i need a plaintext doc that has each word on a different line. does apsell haev that
[21:28] <icons-noob> IndyGunFreak: Yes i extracted it into ~/.icons
[21:28] <FedeUBS> ubuntu810:but, did you have the black window problem as me?
[21:29] <ubuntu810> yes i did before
[21:29] <icons-noob> OxygenRefit2-white-version
[21:29] <ubuntu810> the max res i chould get was 1440x900
[21:29] <rvn> when i try to use kazahakase with webkit it will not load pages, and if i had already loaded a page with gecko and then switch, then refrehs, it crashes the browser
[21:29] <Slart> Xikkub: I think spellchecks are a bit more advanced than that.. you have endings, plural/singular etc.. I've never really looked into it but I think spellcheckers use something more like a database
[21:29] <icons-noob> IndyGunFreak: would i go through the Art Manager?
[21:29] <ubuntu810> once i changed that bios setting i was able to get 1680x1050
[21:29] <Xikkub> i never said i was making a dictionary
[21:30] <Xikkub> i just need a dictionary TXT FILE that contains english words
[21:30] <FedeUBS> but in another monitor I can reach 1440x900
[21:30] <IndyGunFreak> icons-noob:  you *usually*, don't even need to do that.... system/pref/appearance/theme tab.. drag the tar ball there, if all is well, it will say its installed, then clcik customize, then the icon tab, and see if the icons you added are there
[21:30] <FedeUBS> without problems
[21:30] <timahvo1> Xikkub: I would guess there must be a db of words in aspell-en, aspell-de etc
[21:30] <morphles> Slart: tjust befor release of 8.10 forrentfreak wronte an article about updating with torrents, but i thought maybe there was some official way for this, couse i dont really want to use scripts from that site, and they dont talk about stuff like donwload interuptions
[21:30] <icons-noob> IndyGunFreak: let me try that
[21:30] <Xikkub> i will download it and ttr
[21:30] <Xikkub> try
[21:30] <Ors> I am unable to play an ogg stream radio with Rhythmbox.  I can only play it with VLC. Any suggestion will be appreciated
[21:30] <Slart> Xikkub: although there are word lists out there.. used for password checks etc.. but I've never seen anything in the repos so I guess you'd have to talk to mr google and see what you can find
[21:30] <rvn> when i try to use kazahakase with webkit it will not load pages, and if i had already loaded a page with gecko and then switch, then refrehs, it crashes the browser
[21:30] <imaginativeone> how do I install mono?
[21:30] <Xikkub> ive been searching but all the dictionarys are used for hacking and contain weird words
[21:31] <Slart> morphles: there might be a way but I've never heard of it.. besides download the large iso-files, that is
[21:31] <Xikkub> i need a true dictionary :0 but i will look
[21:31] <porter1> imaginativeone, it is probably already instaled
[21:31] <imaginativeone> porter1: thanks
[21:31] <Slart> Xikkub: perhaps there are some language research sites out there.. those usually deal with counting words and such..
[21:31] <icons-noob> IndyGunFreak: It appeared to work then told me it failed
[21:31] <IndyGunFreak> imaginativeone: its probably in the repos, if its not already installed.
[21:32] <icons-noob> IndyGunFreak: its a .tar.bz2
[21:32] <ma5t3rw1tt> I need some help. I made a ubuntu bootable usb stick using a tutorial over @ pendrivelinux.com. Well my first boot was fine, but my second boot to see if any changes were made after I did them, it keeps bringing me to a Ubuntu Busybox, does anyone know why this is. I really need some help with this. I would like to have a portable OS
[21:32] <IndyGunFreak> icons-noob: that shouldn't really matter, i've used them before no prob, i think it just depends how the tar file is written
[21:32] <Xikkub> slart: please read. i just need a file with WORDS. i am not making a program to count words and such
[21:32] <timahvo1> Xikkub: aspell-en has it installed at /usr/local/lib/aspell I think
[21:32] <imaginativeone> IndyGunFreak: thanks
[21:33] <rvn> when i try to use kazahakase with webkit it will not load pages, and if i had already loaded a page with gecko and then switch, then refrehs, it crashes the browser
[21:33] <erikcc> need help logging into gnome without failsaife. Tried reinstalling ubuntu-desktop, every package starting with gnome-* and tried creating a new user to no avail
[21:33] <guntbert> Xikkub: what are you really trying to accomplish?
[21:33] <prince_jammys> erikcc: what happened when you created a new user?
[21:33] <jrib> erikcc: describe exactly what happens.
[21:33] <Slart> Xikkub: I didn't say you were.. but the language people might be =) perhaps they have some of their stuff online somewhere.. I know the swedish university in Göteborg has a language division that has all kinds of nice things online.. statistics for words, letters and such
[21:34] <Xikkub> i just need a text document with nearly every english word!
[21:34] <Xikkub> nothing fancy
[21:34] <bruenig> dictionary...
[21:34] <Xikkub> yes, like a dictionary
[21:34] <bruenig> I hope your brute force attempt works
[21:34] <ma5t3rw1tt> Can someone plz help me out?
[21:34] <guntbert> Xikkub: how is this a ubuntu-support problem?
[21:34] <jrib> bruenig: note he only wants real words
[21:34] <Xikkub> im not bruteforcing >: o
[21:35] <Sajuuk> I wish to be able to connect to my ipod through ubuntu 8.10 server but it doesn't see the ipod, whats wrong?
[21:35] <bruenig> only real words, hmm
[21:35] <erikcc> New user was created smoothly, I tried logging in with the new use and I get the error message that goes something like "failed to start ..... session, starting failsafe xterm in upper left window...". With the new user this command like terminal actually shows up, with my typical login it doesn't, if I type in "gnome-session" then it starts up fine
[21:35] <guntbert> Xikkub: if it is not, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:35] <Slart> Xikkub: looked here? http://wordlist.sourceforge.net/
[21:35] <usser_> wtf unixes had words file for ages!! where is it in ubuntu???
[21:36] <Crewsr3_1> I'm getting an error while trying to I am coping files from one ubuntu computer to another ubuntu computer on my network, the only details are "failure" is there away to get more information behind the failure? most of the file transfer with no problems
[21:36] <Xikkub> eactly
[21:36] <rvn> Where can i get help regarding Kazehakase?
[21:36] <jrib> erikcc: can you copy down the exact error?
[21:36] <george> hi
[21:36] <erikcc> jrib, sure, I'll do that and log back in, one sec
[21:36] <jrib> erikcc: pastebin ~/.xsession-errors for the new user too
[21:36] <bruenig> Xikkub: report back if your cracking works out
[21:37] <Crewsr3_1> I'm getting an error while trying to copy files from one ubuntu computer to another ubuntu computer on my network, the only details are "failure" is there away to get more information behind the failure? most of the file transfer with no problems _edit_
[21:37] <erikcc> jrib: ok, one sec
[21:37] <Slart> rvn: google suggests http://kazehakase.sourceforge.jp/
[21:37] <touchdownkid> I just got Ubuntu, and I noticed my sound is really quiet, even at max it only sounds about half-way. What can I do to fix that?
[21:37] <hmw> Crewsr3_1 check out "sudo less /var/log/syslog" and "sudo less /var/log/messages"
[21:37] <Xikkub> thank you for the sourceforge link. i think i have it
[21:37] <Slart> touchdownkid: on board sound? Intel ICH chip?
[21:37] <Xikkub> thanks a ton, guys
[21:37] <touchdownkid> Yeah.
[21:37] <Slart> hmw: you need sudo to read the syslog?
[21:38] <hmw> Slart not sure
[21:38] <Daniel_G> ok ive just installed a new kernel via apt-get, the /boot/gub/menu.lst shows only the new kernel but it still boots into the old one. any suggestions?
[21:38] <Slart> touchdownkid: I think it's a known problem.. not sure if it's a bug or something else.. afaik there not a lot you can do about it.. perhaps donate some money to whoever is working on the drivers
[21:39] <Slart> Daniel_G: did you run "sudo update-grub" ?
[21:39] <RussM> hmw, Slart not if you're in the adm group.
[21:39] <Slart> RussM: ahhh.. didn't think of that.. thanks
[21:39] <touchdownkid> Alright, I'll look around some more. Thanks.
[21:39] <Daniel_G> Slart: ah i just did and it looks positive, thanks i'll brb ;)
[21:40] <avis> ma5t3rw1tt, there is a package in the repo that will make a bootable ubuntu drive from a ubuntu iso, i believe its "usb-creator"  does all the work for you
[21:40] <guntbert> RussM: how do the two things (adm and need to sudo) connect?
[21:41] <RussM> guntbert, If you're not in adm group, then you'd need to sudo in order to read /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages, because they're owned by root:adm and have permission set to be readable by only owner and group.
[21:42] <tomvolek_> can anybody suggest a free web hosting site for a small web site ?
[21:42] <rewt> freewebs.com
[21:42] <fearful> tomvolek_, www.freewebs.com
[21:42] <rewt> JINX
[21:42] <guntbert> RussM: but if you are not in the adm group you cannot sudo root, can you?
[21:42] <Slart> tomvolek_: I heard people talking about that in #ubuntu-offtopic, try going there
[21:42] <tomvolek_> thanks all
[21:42] <Slart> guntbert: you could config sudo.. but not by default, afaik
[21:42] <prince_jammys> guntbert: yeah, you could if you were in the admin group but not in adm
[21:42] <RussM> RussM, That depends on whether you've convigured sudo.
[21:42] <erikcc> jribhere is all the info --> http://pastebin.com/m7d0b957
[21:43] <Daniel_G> Slart: i did that, and it gave back some info and specifically mentioned the new kernel, but alas it still boots into the old one...
[21:43] <erikcc> jrib: Here is the error message I get when I first login wit the new user and what is in my .xsession-errors file -->  http://pastebin.com/m7d0b957
[21:43] <guntbert> prince_jammys, Slart: thx, those to similar names mixed my brain up :-))
[21:44] <prince_jammys> guntbert: on a single-user installation with only one sudoer, you wouldn't need to sudo
[21:44] <Slart> Daniel_G: if you check the menu.lst file, is it still pointing to the new kernel?
[21:44] <jrib> erikcc: you haven't changed any files outside your /home?
[21:44] <Slart> Daniel_G: update-grub will change that file..you have to edit it at the right place
[21:44] <Crewsr3_1> hmw, thanks for the suggestions I did not see anything in the logs with the right time stamp.  I went and tryied to copy the files again and then opened the logs again and nothing new seems to be there....Any other ideas
[21:44] <Daniel_G> Slart: the menu.lst file *only* contains the new kernel, there is no mention of the old one in there at all
[21:45] <erikcc> jrib: I upgraded to the latest ubuntu when all this started, but I didn't personally change any. I messed with the xorg.conf file but I've since deleted it and reinstalled other drivers
[21:45] <guntbert> prince_jammys: in standard ubuntu?
[21:45] <hmw> Crewsr3_1 - besides filesys integrity check ...
[21:45] <prince_jammys> guntbert: in standard ubuntu, there's one sudoer, who is in the adm group by default
[21:45] <amen51> hi, has anybody used farsi/arabic/etc. in console? I need to have farsi support in mutt, the bidirectional thing works out well using fribdi, but character shaping is not
[21:45] <RussM> Crewsr3_1, how are you copying the files?
[21:46] <Slart> Daniel_G: well.... then I don't really know..  afaik there are no other secret settings.. perhaps reinstall grub?
[21:46] <guntbert> prince_jammys: exactly, so this one has still to sudo :) (my brain is not *that* mixed up ;-))
[21:46] <Crewsr3_1> RussM, hmw I'm using Nautilus and have a sftp connection from the computer I'm on to the other ubuntu computer
[21:47] <prince_jammys> guntbert: huh?
[21:47] <Daniel_G> Slart: http://pastebin.com/d7e6b36f - can you have a look and tell me if theres anything wrong with that?
[21:47] <Sensae> I borked my X system. What is the default open source drivers for nvidia cards?
[21:47] <RussM> Crewsr3_1, Ah, OK, sftp. I haven't used sftp much.
[21:47] <erikcc> jrib: it's been one wild goose chase after another trying to find the solution on google.
[21:47] <hmw> Crewsr3_1 - simple things like enough free space, loose cable, did you try again? uhm...
[21:47] <jrib> erikcc: what ubuntu version are you on now?
[21:48] <hmw> Crewsr3_1 i dont really know, how to track this down
[21:48] <RussM> Crewsr3_1, I think last time I had to do that I used rsync
[21:48] <erikcc> jrib: the latest one 8.10 I believe
[21:48] <Slart> Daniel_G: it looks correct to me.
[21:48] <jrib> erikcc: what does « lsb_release -c » return?
[21:48] <Daniel_G> grr
[21:48] <Crewsr3_1> hmw, RussM what is the CLI way to check for enough disk space, I have a ssh into the box
[21:48] <usser_> Sensae, nv
[21:48] <hmw> Crewsr3_1 maybe problems with character set and some files containing strange chars
[21:48] <usser_> Crewsr3_1, du -h
[21:48] <RussM> Crewsr3_1, df would be a good start.
[21:48] <DanielCar> df = disk free
[21:48] <guntbert> prince_jammys: I'm afraid we are drifting off topic - and its not so important, anyway you were correct in pointing me to the difference between adm and admin groups
[21:49] <usser_> Crewsr3_1, du -h /path
[21:49] <erikcc> jrib: it returns "intrepid"
[21:49] <Sensae> usser_: ty, fixed it
[21:49] <RussM> Crewsr3_1, df will show you how full each filesystem is.
[21:49] <erikcc> jrib: it returns "Codename:       intrepid"   to be exact
[21:49] <jrib> erikcc: have you ever been able to login on intrepid?
[21:50] <erikcc> jrib: At first I was, then when I upgraded nvidia drivers is when this happened
[21:50] <Daniel_G> Slart: ffs, it seems the machine has both grub and lilo installed, and its boots off lilo
[21:50] <Crewsr3_1> hmw, RussM the drive is full, thanks for your help!
[21:50] <touchdownkid> Fixed my sound problem.
[21:51] <erikcc> jrib: I think it asked me at one point if I wanted to stop using xorg-config or have it automatically managed or something like that. I thought this was a new cool thing in Intrepid so I said yes
[21:51] <DanielCar> Is there a doc page that says what is the best way to udpate to a later version of a piece of software?  I would like to update to a later version of subversion.  Currently it is 1.5.1, Jaunty is at 1.5.4  Suggestions?
[21:51] <hmw> Crewsr3_1 lol. at least you got a (hopefully) easy solution
[21:51] <psywiped> hi linux people
[21:51] <Slart> Daniel_G: hehe.. weird but I guess it's possible.. reinstall grub then.. or config lilo
[21:52] <Crewsr3_1> hmw, you can never have to much disk space, thanks for your help!
[21:52] <psywiped> tap tap tap "is this thing on?"
[21:52] <Slart> psywiped: yes.. just ask your question
[21:52] <Droopsta915> t tool should I use to place a clear blue color over a picture in gimp?
[21:52] <jussi01> psywiped: yes, can we help you with something?
[21:52] <Slart> !hi | psywiped
[21:53] <psywiped> how do i make the super key act like a modifer insted of just another key
[21:53] <Slart> psywiped: there are lots of settings in system, preferences, keyboard, layout, layout options
[21:54] <jrib> erikcc: well if you get to the gdm screen I doubt it's an X issue
[21:54] <erikcc> jrib: Since I reinstalled every gnome-* package and ubuntu-desktop, I figure this problem is caused by something that persists outside of gnome
[21:54] <Waelwulf> I'm troubleshooting an Ubuntu install for a friend of mine. He runs a different network manager than what's included in the usual Ubuntu. It's just called "Network" in his menu. Is there anyone here that can identify the package name for the manager (not NetworkManager) and tell me if it supports wpa-supplicant?
[21:55] <Wunderbar> so it appears it wasn't a denial of service attack
[21:55] <Wunderbar> i was just paranoid
[21:55] <Daniel_G> Slart: so i should be save in removing lilo and then reinstalling grub? that wont break the machine?
[21:55] <thx1138> ubuntu and dial, i have a usb serial modem? us robotics? any special condciderations?
[21:55] <Slart> Daniel_G: unless that special kernel is needed somehow it should be fine
[21:55] <Daniel_G> Slart: cheers
[21:56] <thx1138> paranoid? LOL welcome to my computing world LOL
[21:56] <erikcc> jrib: X issue or not, I just want this problem gone.
[21:56] <psywiped> so how do i adujust the windos key in ubuntu 8.10 to make it act like it doesn in windows like hiting windows+L to lock the screen?
[21:56] <erikcc> jrib: it's been so annoying for so long :-(
[21:57] <erikcc> jrib: I'm at the point where I'm willing to pay to have it fixed
[21:57] <Slart> psywiped: xmodmap perhaps.. not sure what to type though.. but I think it's possible
[21:57] <marko-_-> how do i find a zombie process ?
[21:58] <jrib> erikcc: well try using the nv driver instead of nvidia just to see if it makese a difference
[21:58] <Slart> marko-_-: top will list them I think
[21:58] <marko-_-> top just tells me
[21:58] <marko-_-> 1 zombie process
[21:58] <psywiped> set out brains and see what shows up
[21:58] <guntbert> psywiped: use xev to find the key-code
[21:58] <psywiped> ?
[21:58] <erikcc> jrib: I tried removing all the drivers and running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg which pretty much does that, right? that didn't work
[21:58] <imaginativeone> does anyone program with monodevelop?
[21:59] <erikcc> jrib: I can use the nvidia drivers fine even under failsafe
[21:59] <thx1138> i have a netbook acer, anyone tried ubu on it, i'm thinking of giving it a wack
[21:59] <jrib> erikcc: if nvidia gets used during failsafe, then you didn't set it to use nv, no?
[22:00] <psywiped> thx1138 yea it works on it
[22:00] <erikcc> jrib: that was after, at one point I had nvidia drivers completely removed from my system and even under the crappy resolution that resulted, the problem persisted
[22:00] <C-S-B> Thx1138: I'm running ubuntu on my acer aspire one.
[22:00] <teaguy> cool deal
[22:00] <NativeAngels> how do i create a ftp user in ubunut
[22:00] <queixume> algún galego?
[22:00] <jrib> erikcc: how did you upgrade?
[22:01] <teaguy> well i actually ordered it's on it's way, but  cool,
[22:01] <psywiped> install open ssh native
[22:01] <teaguy> sweet
[22:01] <NativeAngels> ok
[22:01] <psywiped> what is xev and how do i use it?
[22:01] <teaguy> should be here by wed.
[22:01] <erikcc> jrib: I went to "system" and there was a nifty new tool for that. I didn't just change the names to "interpid" in the sources list
[22:01] <NativeAngels> psywiped ive installed a ftp server but when i go to transfer files to the public_html folder keep geting permisions error
[22:02] <jrib> erikcc: do you have kde installed?  If so does that work without issue?
[22:02] <CaMason> NativeAngels: check who owns it
[22:02] <psywiped> yea you have to chmod it
[22:02] <teaguy> i'm excited it's a neat little book
[22:02] <NativeAngels> its my linux box
[22:02] <erikcc> jrib: I don't have kde installed
[22:02] <psywiped> think its 777 native
[22:02] <NativeAngels> ive setup 2 users on it
[22:02] <guntbert> psywiped: xev is a little program to show x-events, you start it from the terminal
[22:02] <NativeAngels> how do i do that
[22:02] <gnosisistic> hello :)
[22:02] <NativeAngels> what command
[22:02] <hemanti> hi
[22:03] <gnosisistic> has anyone seen any CD boot issues when installing ubuntu 8.10?
[22:03] <C-S-B> teaguy, you may need to do a bit of configuring, but it's working swell, just make sure you stop power manager dimming the scren :)
[22:03] <C-S-B> teaguy, the bios does it better
[22:03] <erikcc> jrib: any more ideas? :-(
[22:03] <NativeAngels> psywiped how do i set the 777 to a user then
[22:03] <psywiped> native right click on the folder and change the permissions
[22:04] <teaguy> aah wow thanks for the tip :D
[22:04] <gnosisistic> linux+laptop guides seem straight forward, but my CD wont boot the live system and will not install either... the cd room boots to the install screen, but will not do anything when i select the Live boot or installation
[22:04] <gnosisistic> :(
[22:04] <NativeAngels> from the shell
[22:04] <NativeAngels> not the desktop
[22:04] <queixume> gora eta
[22:04] <psywiped> sftp in to root native
[22:04] <C-S-B> I'm using a different network card in mine, as you'll have to swap the driver for the wifi that is auto loaded for madwifi
[22:04] <teaguy> will do it C-S-B ty :)
[22:04] <psywiped> native what program are you using?
[22:04] <sidux> SIDUX RULES
[22:05] <C-S-B> I'm using a broadcom with b43, hacks wep wifi good :0
[22:05] <guntbert> gnosisistic: are you sure the iso wasn't damaged?
[22:05] <teaguy> oh ok that's good to know
[22:05] <gnosisistic> yes, the checksum was fine
[22:05] <NativeAngels> im using vsftpd
[22:05]  * teaguy writes this down
[22:05] <jrib> erikcc: not really.  Tried disabling compiz?
[22:05] <gnosisistic> im having this issue on 3 separate laptops -- 2 dells, and 1 HP
[22:05] <teaguy> lol
[22:05] <sidux> ubuntu = buggy sidux = smooth
[22:05] <erikcc> jrib: yes :-(
[22:05] <NativeAngels> but im using dreamweaver to transfer the file
[22:05] <NativeAngels> it logs on fine but wont allow the file to be transfered
[22:06] <psywiped> native you should be able to right click on the folder and get a option for preffrences
[22:06] <gnosisistic> guntbert: those replies were for you :)
[22:06] <guntbert> gnosisistic: maybe a bad burn, then?
[22:06] <raboof> in ubiquity, can i skip the 'prepare partitions' step?
[22:06] <erikcc> jrib: I guess I'll have to reinstall all of ubuntu again from scratch. I won't upgrade again, I'll always just do a clean install
[22:06] <gnosisistic> yeah, i had similar problems trying to boot Knoppix 6
[22:06] <raboof> it doesn't seem to work (doesn't show partitions), and I already have a partition ready
[22:06] <C-S-B> teaguy,  theres a whole community page on the acer one, I suggest you read it to get the best out of it.
[22:06] <jrib> erikcc: incidentally, are you up to date with your packages?
[22:07] <gnosisistic> guntbert: ill try reburning the image with a different computer
[22:07] <erikcc> jrib: yes, I do apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade all the time
[22:07] <NativeAngels> is it chmod 777
[22:07] <cyrus__> questin, when you type in a command at shell that isn't found, it will sometimes tell you what package to apt-get install to get that program. How is that done? Was a code change made to Bash or is it something that you can dynamically change (ie: add additional features if you like)
[22:07] <jrib> erikcc: and right now, no more updates?
[22:07] <psywiped> native its chmod 775
[22:07] <guntbert> gnosisistic: good idea, btw you can check the CD from the menu too
[22:08] <oHnoez> Hi people
[22:08] <guntbert> !who | psywiped
[22:08] <rewt> cyrus__, it's an additional shell script
[22:08] <erikcc> jrib: nope
[22:08] <oHnoez> Why Grub gives a Error identifieng win7 ??
[22:08] <psywiped> bad bot bad
[22:09] <oHnoez> yeah. i`ve lost my mbr when i tryed to install mac os x
[22:09] <jrib> erikcc: do you have the -proposed repositories enabled?
[22:09] <teaguy> heading there now C-S-B, thanks again :)
[22:09] <cyrus__> rewt: do you have any more details. Basically I was looking to add my own feature where if you say type the filename of a mp3 file, it launches off the mp3 player for it
[22:09] <oHnoez> and i`ve had to install ubuntu for restore-it
[22:09] <cyrus__> rewt: how is this additional shell script called when you type a command that isn't found
[22:09] <guntbert> psywiped: there is noone around with a nich 'native'
[22:09] <rewt> cyrus__, i came across it a couple days ago, lemme see if i can find it again
[22:09] <Carstairs> does it ever get wuiet in here?
[22:09] <guntbert> *nick
[22:09] <erikcc> jrib_ let me see
[22:09] <Carstairs> q
[22:09] <C-S-B> teaguy, I should be about here over the next week, give me a message when ever I'll try to help if needed.
[22:10] <unop> cyrus__, it's actually a python script using a bash hook .. have a look at the source for command-not-found
[22:10] <cyrus__> rewt: thanks
[22:10] <psywiped> that may be but i was talking to NativeAngels and native is a shortcut because no one else in here has that in ther SN
[22:10] <unop> !info command-not-found | cyrus__
[22:10] <guntbert> !ask | Carstairs, no its always so
[22:10] <fearful> since I moved to using xscreensaver everytime I sleep the computer won't lock when it comes back how can I get it to lock?
[22:10] <teaguy> ok i will, i hope to be here :)
[22:11] <gnosisistic> guntbert: for some reason, none of the menu options work.  the drive spins up and the light comes on, but then it dies down
[22:11] <gnosisistic> the help pages and function keys work, and im able to type additional boot parameters
[22:11] <guntbert> psywiped: type nati <tab>, its shorter :)
[22:11] <Huufarted> Question about partitions:  Hard drive with 80 GB NTFS, 70 GB Ext3, and 300+ GB FAT32.  I want to drop the FAT32 and resize the Ext3 to fill the rest of the drive however there's an 8 GB recovery partition that would have to be moved.  I am not TOO attached to the recovery partition, but would it instead be possible to shove that partition to the end of the drive and then expand  out the Ext3?
[22:11] <Huufarted> sorry for the block-o-text
[22:11] <gnosisistic> but they dont have an effect once the cd/dvd drive shuts down :(
[22:12] <Tommasa> I'm trying to cp -a my /home directory to a USB drive with pv so that I know it's working properly, but I can't seem to figure out how to make it work. It copies properly, but pv just sits there.   Can someone tell what the right syntax would be to do that?
[22:12] <guntbert> gnosisistic: the you will have to try a slow burn/on another machine/... :(
[22:13] <cyrus__> unop: do you know of a site that lists any additional bash hooks (if there are any)
[22:13] <erUSUL> Tommasa: pv works on pipes cp -a does not create a pipe... how are you invoquing the two programs ?
[22:13] <prince_jammys> Tommasa: pv apparently works with pipelines. cp doesn't produce output
[22:13] <bobbob1016> how would I make a script that takes a file and a string for inputs, and then uses them internally?  I want to make an scp script and call it like "scpscript foo.bar /path/on/remote/machine"
[22:13] <Carstairs> I have installed new version of ubuntu and now my open arena is playing up. I play in windowed mode and it is too dark to play. In full screen it is washed out. Any ideas? It worked fine on earlier version.
[22:14] <guntbert> pm | oHnoez
[22:14] <Arancaytar> Hi. I'm in a bit of a pickle. I set my screen resolution to something too high, and now I can't get into the desktop. How can I reset my resolution in the shell? Thanks... :/
[22:14] <fearful> since I moved to using xscreensaver everytime I sleep the computer won't lock when it comes back how can I get it to lock?
[22:14] <guntbert> !pm | oHnoez
[22:14] <gnosisistic> guntbert: gotcha.  thanks for the slow-speed recommendation :)  ill brb -- trying that
[22:14] <Tommasa> prince_jammys: Ok... is there another way I could do that?
[22:14] <prince_jammys> Tommasa: you can maybe use rsync if you'd like to see progress bars
[22:14] <bobthefish> hello. I am having a sound problem. I had to reformat, and no sound is working at all. I followed this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 as i did in the past, and it didnt work this time
[22:14] <guntbert> gnosisistic: good luck
[22:14] <Tommasa> prince_jammys: Thanks
[22:14] <x2o> how do i do i update from hardy to intrepid?
[22:14] <x2o> easyily
[22:14] <Fallen[q]> Anyone know of a good Ndiswrapper tutorial?
[22:15] <rewt> cyrus__, type "set"... you can probably add to that command_not_found_handle sub
[22:15] <C-S-B> x2o, easily
[22:15] <fearful> x2o, open the software sources in the System Preferences menu
[22:15] <Droopsta915> How can I make Rhythm box play the songs in numerical order?
[22:15] <unop> Tommasa, you could use it like this with tar tho.   (cd somewhere && tar cf - .) | pv .... | (cd elsewhere && tar xf -)
[22:15] <fearful> x2o, Administration*
[22:15] <Fallen[q]> Anyone know of a good Ndiswrapper tutorial?
[22:16] <psywiped> nope fallen your boned
[22:16] <Arancaytar> Hi. I'm in a bit of a pickle. I set my screen resolution to something too high, and now I can't get into the desktop. How can I reset my resolution in the shell? I have to use ircii right now, so please be patient with me. Thanks... :/
[22:16] <homeskill> in vista can i just open explorer and type '\\<ip of ubuntu>' to share files, since ubuntu is on my network?
[22:16] <erUSUL> Tommasa: use two tar commands... something like « tar cf - /home/$USER | pv | (cd /media/disk && tar xBf -)
[22:16] <fearful> x2o, Administration*
[22:16] <Fallen[q]> psywiped; Awesome
[22:16] <fearful> since I moved to using xscreensaver everytime I sleep the computer won't lock when it comes back how can I get it to lock?
[22:16] <C-S-B> x2o, just set in software sources what kind of upates to accept
[22:16] <rewt> cyrus__, it's in /etc/bash.bashrc
[22:16] <Tommasa> erUSUL: Thanks
[22:16] <C-S-B> under the updates tab
[22:17] <C-S-B> its set by default to only update LTS releases
[22:18] <psywiped> why is a LTS better?
[22:18] <bobthefish> I cant get audio to work after a format. I did the PulseAudio fix (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578) and it didnt help at all
[22:18] <spozen> hey how do i check for dependencies, before installing a package?
[22:18] <Iceman_B^Ltop> how can I mount a dir from my Ubuntu system into Windows XP ?
[22:18] <psywiped> spozen it tells you
[22:18] <Seveas> spozen, apt-cache depends packagename_here
[22:18] <bobthefish> spozen: it should do it automatically with synaptric
[22:18] <rdw200169> Waelwulf, gnome-network-admin is the package
[22:19] <spozen> ah thanks
[22:19] <psywiped> ice man look up ext3 for windows
[22:19] <rewt> Iceman_B^Ltop, you need samba to share your dir
[22:19] <psywiped> iceman is it the same system or a remote cliant?
[22:19] <rewt> heh, that'd be a good q to ask :)
[22:19] <bobthefish> anyone mind helping he repair (the very broken) pulse audio on my system? I get no audio output at all
[22:19] <bobthefish> ...
[22:20] <Iceman_B^Ltop> psywiped: remote
[22:20] <RussM> psywiped, I think it only defaults to "LTS Release Only" for upgrades if you fresh install on an LTS release. I guess the thought is that if you installed an LTS, then stability is what you want. When I installed a non-LTS release from scratch, it set the default to "Normal Releases"
[22:20] <rewt> remote = samba
[22:20] <Iceman_B^Ltop> ive got another box with 8.10 (normal) running somewhere in a dark room
[22:20] <psywiped> iceman in termanal
[22:20] <psywiped> "apt-get install samba"
[22:20] <Iceman_B^Ltop> did that already
[22:21] <Iceman_B^Ltop> but, where do I go now ?
[22:21] <guntbert> !ask | oHnoez
[22:21] <Iceman_B^Ltop> I want to make like 5 GB free and share that with all my housemates here
[22:21] <Iceman_B^Ltop> they all have WinXP clients
[22:21] <unjustice> anyone here know how to setup RAID 1 after installation?
[22:22] <psywiped> iceman its all right clicking from there
[22:22] <unjustice> I have 3 hard drives...trying to figure out how to setup a RAID 1
[22:22] <rdw200169> Waelwulf, here's where the file is that explains how to use wpasupplicant w/ /etc/network/interfaces: /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.modes.gz
[22:22] <NativeAngels> is this right to change the permisions of i directory users can ftp to it > chmod 775 -r /home/username/public_html is this right
[22:22] <psywiped> unjustice raid one is for 2 dirves
[22:22] <kaveh> hi all
[22:23] <Iceman_B^Ltop> psywiped: I'm not vncing to the Ubuntu machine, if thats what you assume
[22:23] <kaveh> i have an external usb hd i get input/output error i can not mount it
[22:23] <Iceman_B^Ltop> im working on my laptop(XP pro) right now, can I do it from within windows? or do I need to configure something in Samba?
[22:23] <psywiped> NativeAngels looks right i tend to change premmison in my ftp cliant tho
[22:23] <unjustice> psywiped: I know, I want two of them to have RAID 1 mirror...but only one is setup
[22:24] <MoTec> Iceman_B^Ltop: You'll need to configure your samba.. I mine to allow un-authenticated access, as a specific user, and set a disk quota for that user.
[22:24] <psywiped> unjustice do you have 3 drives or 4
[22:24] <kaveh> any one
[22:24] <RussM> unjustice, I dunno if this is the most recent, but... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=408461
[22:24] <Iceman_B^Ltop> MoTec: alright, I'll take a look at the documentation
[22:24] <unjustice> psywiped: I have 3 now, and a 4th one that I have not put into the comp yet
[22:24] <bobthefish> kaveh: you most likely wont get a response here
[22:24] <Zlogger> hi guys, is there a way to tile windows in gnome?
[22:25] <Iceman_B^Ltop> im such a noob with linux :)
[22:25] <bobthefish> Ive been asking about an issue 2 and im ignored
[22:25] <kaveh> bobthefish: where should i ask
[22:25] <Iceman_B^Ltop> bobthefish: not nessecarily true, but if nobody is answering, then they dont know, msot likely
[22:25] <rvn> sup, i love gnome, but hate the gnome logo. i'd like to replace it or remove it from it's position in the top right of most windows (specifically nautilus and epiphany), how could i go about this
[22:25] <fearful> my computer not prompting for password after awakening from suspend any ideas, I already checked the gconf and all seemed correct
[22:25] <bobthefish> kaveh: no idea, but try www.ubuntuforums.org
[22:25] <sebsebseb> Iceman_B^Ltop: what do you want help with?
[22:26] <Iceman_B^Ltop> samba, but i'll take a look at the docs
[22:26] <MoTec> Iceman_B^Ltop: This is a good reference: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605
[22:26] <Iceman_B^Ltop> my initial question was answered
[22:26] <Jordan_U> kaveh, Can you pastebin the output from "dmesg" ?
[22:26] <Iceman_B^Ltop> oh, thanks again MoTec
[22:26] <Fallen[q]> Anyone willing to help me get ndiswrapper up and running?
[22:26] <MoTec> Iceman_B^Ltop: it shows the samba.conf and some settings like force user = whatever, force group = whatever, etc..
[22:26] <psywiped> iceman i a little confused at what your trying to do
[22:26] <Jordan_U> Fallen[q], What chipset is your wireless card?
[22:27] <MoTec> psywiped: he's trying to setup a public samba share with a 5gb quota.
[22:27] <Fallen[q]> Jordan_U; how would I find that? I had it written down but lost the notecard >_<
[22:27] <Iceman_B^Ltop> exactly
[22:27] <psywiped> motec but he was saying hes on xp
[22:27] <kaveh> Jordan_U: yeah just as ec
[22:27] <MoTec> the clients are xp
[22:27] <Iceman_B^Ltop> yeah, the share needs to be accesible from WinXP machines
[22:27] <Iceman_B^Ltop> preferably automagically mounted, if that is possible
[22:28] <psywiped> iceman whats the server runing
[22:28] <MoTec> yeah, xp will remember the connection.. it helps that the share is unauthenticated.
[22:28] <Iceman_B^Ltop> Ubuntu 8.10, the Live CD install
[22:28] <psywiped> iceman is it just a standerd ubuntu desktop or is it the server?
[22:28] <Iceman_B^Ltop> desktop
[22:28] <Jordan_U> Fallen[q], It would be in the output of lspci ( don't paste the whole output, it would flood the channel, if you need help finding the chipset in the output use pastebin )
[22:28] <Iceman_B^Ltop> but ive installed openssh server and samba packages
[22:29] <MoTec> nano /etc/samba.conf and get busy :)
[22:29] <Iceman_B^Ltop> alrighty
[22:29] <psywiped> iceman you need to select a folder to share on the ubuntu system
[22:29] <kaveh> Jordan_U: http://rafb.net/p/NkSSMo13.html
[22:29] <MoTec> cp /etc/samba.conf /etc/samba.conf.original first :)
[22:29] <psywiped> and with ssh you can just sftp in to it iceman
[22:30] <MoTec> yeah, he wants a windows share, tho
[22:30] <Iceman_B^Ltop> yeah, its easier that  way
[22:30] <Iceman_B^Ltop> also, I dont have a screen hooked up to the ubuntu system
[22:30] <psywiped> sftp ftw
[22:30] <Iceman_B^Ltop> only a UTP :)
[22:30] <oHnoez> please help me with grub. Why does it give Can`t identify Device when i select Win7 ?
[22:30] <Jordan_U> kaveh, Are you sure it's not a hardware problem?
[22:30] <bobthefish> ok, so i dont have sound right? no playback at all. i Followed this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 but it did nothing. what the hell am i suppost to do?
[22:30] <Mike_921> How can I go about overriding an IP address with Ubuntu, back when I was in Windows I would do it at C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, however I've tried /etc/hosts and it didn't work for me. Is there something I'm missing?
[22:31] <psywiped> dam iceman reinstall it as a server verson much easer
[22:31] <unjustice> RussM:
[22:31] <MoTec> Iceman_B^Ltop: I have an ubuntu server doing just that for 5 lawyers, heh..
[22:31] <unjustice> RussM: have you setup RAID before?
[22:31] <MoTec> a public share they all.. um, share.
[22:32] <Iceman_B^Ltop> psywiped: ah, yeah, but Its running now already, and I like having a GUI as backup, should I really need to get into the machine locally or whatever
[22:32] <RussM> unjustice, software RAID, yes, I had a RAID1 for a while, just got some more disks and now I'm using a RAID5. I don't boot off of it, though, I just use it as a large storage for all my photos.
[22:32] <MoTec> !webmin
[22:32] <homeskill> why does the /etc/sudoers file say it MUST be edited with the visudo command as root. cant i just 'sudo vim /etc/sudoers'?
[22:32] <MoTec> Iceman_B^Ltop: check out ebox :)
[22:32] <Iceman_B^Ltop> I managed to get xforwaring working with xming as well so yeah, I'll stck with this for now
[22:32] <Iceman_B^Ltop> thanks though
[22:32] <Zlogger> Mike_921: you went about it the right way if you are trying to force a domain to a specific IP
[22:32] <bobthefish> well, thanks for nothing everyone! bye!
[22:32] <peteUK> q
[22:32] <Iceman_B^Ltop> ah yes, I was in the middle of ebox, but got distracted, heh
[22:32] <peteUK> exit
[22:32] <MoTec> I tunnel the webmin (yeah, don't use webmin, use ebox) thru ssh, currently.. it's awesome.
[22:33] <psywiped> 1bobthefish have you have you checked the prefrences settings and made sure that the voulme is turned up?
[22:33] <Zlogger> Mike_921: sometimes my POS router will cache and that override doesnt work
[22:33] <fearful> my computer not prompting for password after awakening from suspend any ideas, I already checked the gconf and all seemed correct
[22:33] <Fallen[q]> how do I find my adapter chipset through my lspci output?
[22:33] <Zlogger> not exactly sure why though
[22:33] <homeskill> is ebox free
[22:33] <oHnoez> Why does GRUB give a Can`t identify Device error when i select Win7 ?
[22:33] <psywiped> motec how is ebox ive heard that webmin opens a lot of hackables
[22:33] <spozen> exit
[22:33] <Zlogger> psywiped: webmin just Sux in general
[22:34] <Mike_921> Zlogger: I'm trying to force an IP onto another IP, but it didn't work for me.
[22:34] <MoTec> i've not tried ebox.. i use webmin... but webmin is depreciated in ubuntu and we should use ebox instead. :)
[22:34] <Fallen[q]> how do I find my adapter chipset through my lspci output?
[22:34] <psywiped> yea gave webmin a try but didnt find it that usable would love to get cpannel on it but herd thats not supported
[22:34] <MoTec> i do my maintenance using a shell, tho.
[22:34] <slash3s> hey
[22:34] <slash3s> help
[22:34] <Zlogger> Mike_921: shoot, im not sure then ;/
[22:35] <MoTec> webmin with the stressfree theme is nice, heh.
[22:35] <Iceman_B^Ltop> oh, nano, I forgot I need to learn that as well
[22:35] <Iceman_B^Ltop> growing up with windows ftl :p
[22:35] <Mike_921> Zlogger: Okay, thanks anyway.
[22:35] <psywiped> yea ebox is free from what i was
[22:35] <psywiped> yea ebox is free from what i saw
[22:35] <Jordan_U> Fallen[q], "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)" is the line concerning your card
[22:35] <fearful> !flood psywiped
[22:35] <MoTec> Iceman_B^Ltop: it's simple.. just read it's bottom two lines :)
[22:35] <fearful> !flood | psywiped
[22:36] <fearful> my computer not prompting for password after awakening from suspend any ideas, I already checked the gconf and all seemed correct
[22:36] <psywiped> fu fearful i was just croecting a miss type
[22:36] <mike3> hey, question guys. I just updated to the newest version of Ubuntu but when I go to System/About Ubuntu it's showing the old information...
[22:36] <psywiped> mike did you restart yet?
[22:37] <mike3> psywiped: yes... It says i'm using Hardy 8.04
[22:37] <Jordan_U> Fallen[q], It looks like that card should be supported without ndiswarpper, why do you think you need ndiswrapper?
[22:37] <mike3> That's not the newst right?
[22:37] <Cpudan80> mike3: what did you upgrade from?
[22:37] <psywiped> no 8.10 is
[22:37] <Cpudan80> gutsy?
[22:37] <mike3> Cpudan80: The updater in Ubuntu
[22:37] <Mike_921> mike3: He means what version of Ubuntu did you upgrade from
[22:37] <Cpudan80> yes but what version were you at before you ran the upgrader
[22:37] <fearful> mike3, he ment what you had before the upgrade
[22:37] <psywiped> mike3 what verson of ubuntu were you upgradeing from
[22:38] <Fallen[q]> Jordan_U; Myself and Blizzkid have been going at it for quite awhile on possible solutions and after everything failed we figured that would be the problem
[22:38]  * Cpudan80 hears an echo
[22:38] <oHnoez> Why does GRUB give a Can`t identify Device error when i select Win7 ?
[22:38] <mike3> Cpudan80: I have no idea. :) To be honest...
[22:38] <ubuntu_> hi
[22:38] <Cpudan80> mike3: run the upgrader again, it'll get Intrepid since you're now at Hardy
[22:38] <Iceman_B^Ltop> can I get nano in colors via putty ?
[22:39] <psywiped> mike shoud check that lts isnt selected
[22:39] <Cpudan80> you have to step through all the intermediate released (unless you go from 6.06 to 8.04)
[22:39] <mathias> .
[22:39] <homeskill> i think putty handles its own colors
[22:39] <mike3> Cpudan80: I did and it says my system is completely updated
[22:39] <Jordan_U> Fallen[q], Can you not see any wireless networks, not connect to them, etc. What isn't working
[22:39] <homeskill> ive gotten vim in color in putty
[22:39] <wolter> i installed a non-ubuntu compat-wireless because my m1530 was failing.. it gave system stalls with blinking lights. So, I compiled and installed one but now I can't use it.
[22:39] <Cpudan80> mike3: since Interpid is not an LTS release, you cant see it in hardy
[22:39] <Cpudan80> !upgrade | mike3
[22:39] <dkg> Can I use ntldr as my boot loader? if so how?
[22:39] <RussM> Iceman_B^Ltop, I get "ls" output in color, so I would expect nano could use color, too.
[22:40] <Cpudan80> mike3: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades
[22:40] <MoTec> Iceman_B^Ltop: I've not seen any color in nano.. like color-coding for sourcecode
[22:40] <Iceman_B^Ltop> monochrome here though
[22:40] <Iceman_B^Ltop> kay
[22:40] <Iceman_B^Ltop> no matter
[22:40] <Fallen[q]> Jordan_U; I had been able to connect to my Wireless network while using the LiveCD but after installing I was and still not able to connect to my network. Aswell as WICD can not identify any
[22:40] <MoTec> I've never seen nano do any color
[22:40] <fearful> Cpudan80, not even if he chooses Normal Update not Long Term Support?
[22:40] <Cpudan80> fearful: well yes that is what he has to do
[22:40] <MoTec> my irssi does color and bold.. as does my prompt and my ls
[22:40] <psywiped> fearful were not sure he did
[22:41] <Cpudan80> fearful: by default it is set to LTS only
[22:41] <MoTec> Iceman_B^Ltop: you know about 'screen' yet?
[22:41] <Jordan_U> Fallen[q], That's odd, can you pastebin the output of "iwlist scan" and "lsmod" ?
[22:41] <MoTec> Since you're apparently going to use ssh :)
[22:41] <Mike_921> How can I go about overriding an IP address with with another IP in Ubuntu, back when I was in Windows I would do it at C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, however I've tried /etc/hosts and it didn't work for me. Is there something I'm missing?
[22:41] <fearful> Cpudan80, yea I thought so
[22:41] <Fallen[q]> Jordan_U; of course
[22:41] <ma5t3rw1tt> j
[22:41] <RussM> Iceman_B^Ltop, vim and xemacs certainly are in color in putty.
[22:42] <mike3> Cpudan80: okay cool i'm upgrading now.
[22:42] <psywiped> mike_921 are you trying to change where one ip address sends you to?
[22:42] <dkg> how do I use windows ntldr instead of grub? or have ntldr load grub as an option?
[22:42] <fearful> psywiped, did you read my pm?
[22:42] <Cpudan80> mike3: great, have fun! :-P
[22:42] <psywiped> yea its cool fearful
[22:42] <mike3> Cpudan80: are you being sarcastic?
[22:42] <Fallen[q]> Jordan_U; http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m30a29a87
[22:42] <Cpudan80> mike3: lol well... take it as you will
[22:43] <fearful> I'm having troubles finding where to get this prompt for password on awake, I changed from gnome-screensaver to xscreensaver and no password now any ideas?
[22:43] <Mike_921> psywiped: I think, I'm trying to connect to a server through a port but I want to override the IP of the server to another server with the same port.
[22:43] <psywiped> mike-921 you just made my head hurt
[22:43] <Jordan_U> Fallen[q], I assume that if there is a wireless switch on your laptop it is set to on / enabled ?
[22:44] <Cpudan80> fearful: system --> prefs --> screensaver --> Lock screen when active
[22:44] <Fallen[q]> Jordan_U; I believe it is
[22:44] <fearful> Cpudan80, that's the problem I stopped gnome-screensaver from running, I'm running xscreensaver as default now
[22:44] <Iceman_B^Ltop> MoTec: yea, ive played with screen before
[22:45] <Mike_921> psywiped: okay well let's say that it what I'm trying to do, how would I go about doing that?
[22:45] <Iceman_B^Ltop> MoTec: only used irssi in screen though
[22:45] <Jordan_U> Fallen[q], Can you try booting from the oldest kernel in your grub menu ( which would be the one that the LiveCD used ) ?
[22:45] <psywiped> mike im still not sure what your trying to do
[22:45] <Cpudan80> fearful: ehhh no idea
[22:45] <RussM> Mike_921, Are you trying to change the IP address that a name resolves to?
[22:46] <murphydactyl> Hi I am getting weird redraw problems in hardy after installing latest nvidia driver (180.29). Gnome menus hilite but then don't unhilite.   Anybody know what's up?
[22:46] <Fallen[q]> Jordan_U; 3 are listed, any way I can tell which one that would be?
[22:47] <Jordan_U> Fallen[q], It would be the one farthest down the list that does not say "recovery"
[22:47] <psywiped> i like the os loader that windows uses is that bad?
[22:47] <Fallen[q]> Jordan_U; including the one with memtest at the end?
[22:47] <Jordan_U> Fallen[q], No
[22:48] <Fallen[q]> Jordan_U; Ok, be right back
[22:48] <Iceman_B^Ltop> how can I tell what services are running?
[22:48] <Iceman_B^Ltop> or, daemons
[22:48] <wolter-ubuntu810> hi
[22:49] <wolter-ubuntu810> can somebody help me with this? http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download#DownloadlatestLinuxwirelessdrivers
[22:49] <McShane> Iceman_B^Ltop: try htop
[22:50] <Mike_921> RussM: I'm not really sure. Let's say I can connect to 1.1.1.1:5000 and I can want to connect to 1.1.1.2:5000 by overriding 1.1.1.1
[22:50] <Mike_921> and I want to*
[22:51] <Iceman_B^Ltop> well actually, I want to check if a specific service is running; ebox, samba and any webserver that ebox might have installed
[22:51] <RussM> Mike_921, I think you'd need to write some iptables rules to do that...
[22:51] <Mike_921> RussM: How could I do that?
[22:51] <psywiped> mike_921 are you trying to get around a FW?
[22:51] <Fallen[q]> Jordan_U; out of the 3 listed one was Recovery, the other Memtest and the first one the one that normally boots
[22:52] <RussM> Mike_921, That's beyond my experience. I've read a little about it, but haven't actually tried it. Unless someone else here has some experience, you're probably going to have to follow some iptables guides.
[22:53] <psywiped> mike_921 are you trying to get around a FireWall?
[22:53] <MoTec> Iceman_B^Ltop: top
[22:54] <Mike_921> psywiped: No, it's just the only way I can connect to the server
[22:54] <taz_white95> Ubuntu 8.10 UDF Valume on a CD Any one know how to mount the beeb
[22:54] <MoTec> sorry, i'm slow.. ehhe
[22:54] <RussM> Mike_921, Are you running some piece of software that has an ip address hard-coded into it, and you can't change it?
[22:55] <fearful> Any ideas why no password is prompted after suspend?
[22:55] <psywiped> mike_921 we kind of need to know why your trying to do what your trying to do so we can figure out how to do it
[22:55] <Fallen[q]> Jordan_U; out of the 3 listed one was Recovery, the other Memtest and the first one the one that normally boots
[22:55] <Jordan_U> Fallen[q], OK, I don't particularly like using ndiswrapper if it's not necessary but it might work. First we should find if there is a windows driver for your card that is known to work with ndiswrapper
[22:55] <MoTec> Iceman_B^Ltop: ps -ef | grep Whatever
[22:55] <psywiped> fearful because your not making use of the screen saver
[22:55] <Jordan_U> Fallen[q], I am looking now
[22:56] <Fallen[q]> Jordan_U; Thank you I appreciate it
[22:56] <fearful> psywiped, I'm back to using gnome-screensaver and having the same problem
[22:56] <taz_white95> Any know how to mount a UDF format
[22:56] <fearful> psywiped, was fine before I installed xscreensaver
[22:56] <psywiped> because it goes to the lockout screen when the screensaver starts not when you suspend the comuter fearful
[22:57] <Carstairs> any one help me with open arena problem?
[22:57] <slash3s> hey
[22:57] <slash3s> hi
[22:57] <slash3s> i need help
[22:57] <slash3s> i cant change my screen resolution
[22:57] <slash3s> and i need it in 1024...
[22:57] <credo> Carstairs: whats the problem?
[22:57] <fearful> psywiped, I'm not sure I understand, before this I used to suspend or hibernate and everytime no matter if it was 1 minute or 2 hours I would get prompted for a password upon awake.
[22:57] <Carstairs> screen is too dark cant see other players
[22:57] <wolter-ubuntu810> how do i start the wpa_sufficient service?
[22:58] <credo> Carstairs: try open up the console ant type /r_gamme 1.5
[22:58] <psywiped> fearful have you looked in the forum yet?
[22:58] <credo> Carstairs: r_gamma *
[22:58] <fearful> psywiped, to be honest no
[22:58] <credo> Carstairs: you can set it via graphic option in the menus
[22:58] <Carstairs> will try it thanks credo
[22:58] <slash3s> someone help me
[22:58] <slash3s> :S
[22:58] <slash3s> please
[22:59] <Iceman_B^Ltop> ah MoTec: that was what I waslooking for
[22:59] <Carstairs> no tried all those options
[22:59] <Carstairs> in full screen it is too light
[22:59] <slash3s> hello ?
[22:59] <credo> you want windowed?
[22:59] <MoTec> Iceman_B^Ltop: You're welcome... And I'm using irssi in screen right now :)
[22:59] <russian_ulysses> !ubottu c++
[22:59] <Carstairs> yes
[22:59] <slash3s> :S
[22:59] <DiDiVp> hi people
[22:59] <slash3s> hi
[22:59] <slash3s> help me
[23:00] <slash3s> :S
[23:00] <FloodBot2> slash3s: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:00] <credo> its a bug in q3 engine where it will set gamma to 1 when windowed
[23:00] <slash3s> i cannot change my screen resolution
[23:00] <DiDiVp> slash3s, how?
[23:00] <credo> maybe not a bug, a feature
[23:00] <Carstairs> but it worked fine on earlier ubuntu
[23:00] <Jampiter> IS there a way of viewing my current CPU temperature in Ubuntu?
[23:00] <slash3s> :S
[23:00] <slash3s> what's matter with you
[23:00] <tritium> Jampiter: with lmsensors
[23:00] <DiDiVp> slash3s, what happened?
[23:00] <MoTec> Iceman_B^Ltop: you can filter out the grep itself by doing: ps -ef | grep -v | grep whatever
[23:00] <Mike_921> psywiped: The server I'm trying to override is a server for a game and I'm trying to replace it with a server that I normally wouldn't have access to. The two servers have different IP's but the same port.
[23:00] <slash3s> i need help
[23:00] <Iceman_B^Ltop> cool
[23:01] <slash3s> i cannot change my screen resolution
[23:01] <credo> it acts randomly for me- sometimes it keeps the gamme, sometimes not
[23:01] <MoTec> or use pgrep instead
[23:01] <slash3s> is too small
[23:01] <Jampiter> tritium: How do I do that?
[23:01] <slash3s> and i need other
[23:01] <tritium> !fixres | slash3s
[23:01] <tritium> !lmsensors | Jampiter
[23:01] <Carstairs> wonder if it might be better putting earlier ubuntu back on?
[23:01] <mike_hurley> i'm not sure what the term is for what i'm trying to do, but i want a ssh connection to bring my computer out of suspend
[23:01] <mike_hurley> or accessing a samba share
[23:01] <Jampiter> tritium: Thanks
[23:01] <itsatrick> That was weird...I installed updates, but now my KDE is gone.  What happened?
[23:01] <tritium> mike_hurley: wake on lan?
[23:01] <MoTec> Iceman_B^Ltop: hmm, forget what I said.. it doesn't work for me :)
[23:02] <credo> Carstairs: i dont suggest this
[23:02] <mike_hurley> tritium: i don't know if that's what i want
[23:02] <Iceman_B^Ltop> same
[23:02] <credo> Carstairs: just play fullscreen, that a problem?
[23:02] <ugliefrog> ok anyone know of a program like yahoo messenger i could use...i want to be able to use the mic so i can chat by voice
[23:02] <Carstairs> yes full screen fps is 5
[23:02] <Iceman_B^Ltop> isnt skype now available for linux ?
[23:02] <DiDiVp> slash3s, There is a Gnome's tool to this
[23:02] <sebsebseb> Iceman_B^Ltop: yes it is
[23:02] <psywiped> yep iceman
[23:02] <mike_hurley> tritium: i've read up on it and is that something ssh or samba would have to send to the machine?
[23:02] <DiDiVp> Iceman_B^Ltop, I have skype here
[23:03] <sebsebseb> Skype though lol
[23:03] <sebsebseb> I know how to phone loads of countires for free
[23:03] <Iceman_B^Ltop> well ugliefrog, there you go
[23:03] <Royall> How would I start the CUPS service?
[23:03] <credo> Carstairs: you have drivers installed for gpu?
[23:03] <Carstairs> wouldnt know what they where?
[23:04] <MegaMetals> What is something like "Speedfan" in windows ?
[23:04] <MoTec> Royall: /etc/init.d/cupsd start
[23:04] <credo> Carstairs: well you should know better
[23:04] <roadrock> Royall: in a browser http://localhost:631  ...if cupsys is running you'll see it
[23:04] <tritium> mike_hurley: no, it is separate from both
[23:04] <Iceman_B^Ltop> im looking for that too MegaMetals
[23:04] <DiDiVp> Royall, You can use the tool Services too
[23:04] <Carstairs> why?
[23:04] <ugliefrog> sigh
[23:04] <furenku> After upgrading to Intrepid, the system hangs 90% of the time when shutting down... I already performed the suggested changes on the /etc/init.d/alsa-utils, but now am getting a blinking cursor, does anybody know about this?
[23:04] <Royall> sudo: /etc/init.d/cupsd: command not found
[23:04] <credo> Carstairs: nvidia or ati drivers
[23:04] <Iceman_B^Ltop> hm, ebox seems to do exactly nothing
[23:04] <Carstairs> im a noob to linux
[23:04] <orudie> how do i unzip a .zip file  in terminal ?
[23:05] <MoTec> sounds nonoptimal
[23:05] <ganymede> orudie, unzip myzip.zip
[23:05] <DiDiVp> Royall, System/Administration/Services
[23:05] <mikewu> orudie: use the command unzip
[23:05] <Carstairs> no proprietry drivers instlled at all
[23:05] <roadrock> Royall: /etc/init.d/cupsys start
[23:05] <Carstairs> all ubuntu
[23:05] <psywiped> carstairs you should install them
[23:05] <credo> yep
[23:05] <Jordan_U> Fallen[q], Unfortunately I need to go, good luck
[23:05] <credo> they you will have more fps in games
[23:05] <credo> then*
[23:05] <Royall> bash: /etc/init.d/cupsys: No such file or directory
[23:05] <Carstairs> well i did that once before and it blew my video card up
[23:05] <Royall> I may have disabled it somehow
[23:06] <psywiped> carstairs the drivers are from the vid card maker
[23:06] <Fallen[q]> Jordan_U; Ok thank you
[23:06] <Carstairs> i know
[23:06] <roadrock> Royall: apt-get install cupsys   not sure of the package name, search in synaptic

[23:06] <Carstairs> put them on and card stopped working
[23:06] <psywiped> ther not gona make your card go poof
[23:06] <Carstairs> wouldnt even boot
[23:06] <credo> Carstairs: without them you can forget about gaming
[23:07] <Carstairs> might have been a coinsidence
[23:07] <Royall> cupsys is already the newest version.
[23:07] <Carstairs> ok will try that

[23:08] <roadrock> Royall: try looking in system - administration - services unlock it, and check cupsys
[23:08] <Royall> cupsys isn't there
[23:08] <yowshi> psywiped: oh i want kubuntu right? not kde?
[23:08] <roadrock> Royall: im in hardy your mileage may vary
[23:08] <Iceman_B^Ltop> okay, if I run aptitude right now, Im getting a red line in the bottom
[23:08] <Carstairs> i have a radeon 700 in a box but it smells of burning
[23:08] <f_newton> eventually ati will be but AMD still has a long way to go
[23:08] <furenku> After upgrading to Intrepid, the system hangs 90% of the time when shutting down... I already performed the suggested changes on the /etc/init.d/alsa-utils, but now am getting a blinking cursor, does anybody know about this?

[23:10] <Mike_921> RossM: No, the server I'm trying to override is a server for a game and I'm trying to replace it with a server that I normally wouldn't have access to. The two servers have different IP's but the same port.
[23:10] <yowshi> reagan said it first :)
[23:11] <yowshi> i think
[23:11] <roadrock> Royall: in a browser http://localhost:631  ...configure it.
[23:11] <psywiped> yowshi i like gnome much more than kde
[23:11] <n8tuserf> furenku-> during shutdown, can you get to ctrl+alt+f1 to see the status of shutdown?
[23:11] <f_newton> well they were both fascists from the same cloth so.... find a soup line that still has soup and lets move on
[23:11] <yowshi> psywiped: i did too last time i looked kde felt over cluttered ut they recently made kde 4 and i've been meaning to check it out

[23:15] <zerkoH> Helo, I had an issue where the Wireless on my EEEpc 1000Hd was not working, I followed this guide http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-get-atheros-ar5007eg-or-ar242x-wireless-cards-may-be-other-models-working-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html on fixing it, however now when  I connect the connection is VERY lagged and close to nothing, can someone help me resolve this?
[23:15] <Guest34766> your help me for install theme for ubuntu?
[23:15] <Guest34766> your help me for install theme for ubuntu?
[23:15] <tritium> Guest34766: stop repeating
[23:15] <Huufarted> Guest34766, what is your native language?
[23:16] <f_newton> its not english thats for sure
[23:16] <MoTec> probably l33t
[23:16] <crdlb> zerkoH: which 'method' did you use?
[23:16] <f_newton> ewww  a braindead eh?
[23:16] <psywiped> i was thinking special
[23:16] <latit> !es | Guest34766
[23:16] <zerkoH> crdlb I used the second method
[23:16] <IntuitiveNipple> !es
[23:17] <Huufarted> !fr | Guest34766
[23:17] <MoTec> !pl
[23:17] <Huufarted> !de | Guest34766
[23:17] <MoTec> lol
[23:17] <Huufarted> we'll get it eventually.  :)
[23:17] <zerkoH> Should I try method 1?
[23:17] <indiluged> ****** thing sucks
[23:17] <crdlb> zerkoH: ok, that should be the right approach, though you don't need to blacklist anything
[23:17] <zerkoH> Well, its working
[23:17] <zerkoH> Its just VERY lagged
[23:18] <zerkoH> where should I start troubleshooting?
[23:18] <psywiped> zerkoh at the begining
[23:18] <zerkoH> ?
[23:19] <MoTec> if you skip right to the end of the troubleshooting you're done
[23:19] <latit> !comedians
[23:19] <zerkoH> right but how would I troubleshoot the lag.
[23:19] <psywiped> zerkoh do you have another computer to do knowen good testing?
[23:19] <zerkoH> yes
[23:19] <psywiped> and is it good?
[23:20] <zerkoH> if whats good
[23:20] <zerkoH> the other computers internet connection?
[23:20] <cd> who use debian
[23:20] <psywiped> yep

[23:20] <zerkoH> yep
[23:20] <cd> hi

[23:21] <cd> no  i will not
[23:21] <cd> i get  thank you
[23:21] <f_newton> cd, then install deb and get on with it....
[23:22] <cd> yeah it's same in install
[23:22] <psywiped> cd hit your drive up with gpart and install it
[23:22] <f_newton> lol
[23:22] <f_newton> that will work psywiped
[23:22] <thesaint4444> hi guys, I am trying to install ubuntu on top of vista on my laptop and having some trouble. has anyone done this successfully? thanks.
[23:23] <cd> sorry could you speak it with easy english
[23:23] <psywiped> yea i did thesaint6666
[23:23] <f_newton> thesaint4444, yes I do it frequently
[23:23] <meoblast001> where does mysql dump databases to?
[23:23] <subzero_> hi
[23:23] <thesaint4444> f_newton, which method works best for you? thanks.
[23:23] <psywiped> cd you put the lime in the coke you nut
[23:23] <roadrock> meoblast001: use mysqladmin ...last time i used it.
[23:24] <Iceman_B^Ltop> whats the command to start the gui control panel ?
[23:24] <meoblast001> roadrock: i need to do this with 100% command line
[23:24] <thesaint4444> f_newton, I need to use the vista partition shrink function but it does not seem to work to create some space for my ubuntu partition.
[23:24] <psywiped> thesaint wubi is good to start but then if you can just resize your partition and install
[23:24] <roadrock> meoblast001: exactly what i assumed yes. cli
[23:24] <f_newton> I cut the hdd in half leaving the second half unpartitioned... I install the ubuntu cd then click on manual partition when that screen comes up.  I choose the unpartitioned space and partition it ext3 using / as my root partition
[23:24] <n8tuserf> Iceman_B^Ltop-> clarify what you wanted done?
[23:25] <f_newton> thesaint4444, do you have the original restore disk for your laptop ?
[23:25] <meoblast001> roadrock: doesnt mysqladmin use php?
[23:25] <cd>   i think i should change my name
[23:25] <roadrock> meoblast001: not that i know of.
[23:25] <psywiped> cd that would be a good idea use /nick
[23:25] <thesaint4444> f_newton, it is a thinkpad x200 so I believe there is a built in restore partition...
[23:26] <latit> whereis mysql?
[23:26] <cd> just like this
[23:26] <cd> oh no
[23:26] <psywiped> latit on your computer
[23:26] <Iceman_B^Ltop> I want to check my disk usage, but I'm not at my ubuntu box right now. I have X forwarded to this winxp machine im on and I have putty running. how do I see the disk usage thingy ?
[23:26] <meoblast001> roadrock: ok... i'm reading through it's help and cant find one to backup databases
[23:26] <roadrock> meoblast001: you're thinking of phpmysql or something
[23:26] <thesaint4444> f_newton, can I use that to change the partition sizes?
[23:26] <meoblast001> roadrock: ahh yes
[23:26] <psywiped> thesaint go to controlpannel
[23:26] <prince_jammys> Iceman_B^Ltop: the graphical one is called 'baobab', i think.
[23:26] <thesaint4444> f_newton, and still keep my existing vista data and setup?
[23:26] <cd> a try
[23:27] <erUSUL> Iceman_B^Ltop: DISPLAY=host:1 baobab &
[23:27] <n8tuserf> Iceman_B^Ltop -> disk usage == du   so on command line you type  du,  also look into df -h
[23:27] <f_newton> well you need to use that to create your restore dvds and then you use something like a dos partitioner to wipe the drive and then separate it in to two partitions both primary... then install your restore disks on part one and when thats done install ubuntu on part 2
[23:27] <meoblast001> roadrock: how do you make backups
[23:27] <psywiped> yes thesaint
[23:27] <roadrock> meoblast001: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/administrator/en/index.html  i forgets.
[23:27] <f_newton> vista hogs the whole partition and misrepresents it
[23:28] <thesaint4444> f_newton, yes that would certainly be a way to do it. I was hoping it would be easier.... lol
[23:28] <psywiped> then go to administrator tools
[23:28] <roadrock> meoblast001: the syntax is tricky remember the -p for password. and definetly set one
[23:28] <f_newton> you can defrag it and then try to shrink it through the system tools storage snap in thesaint4444
[23:28] <psywiped> thesaint Control Panel\Administrative Tools
[23:29] <thesaint4444> f_newton, that is a good idea, I looked at that but could not find the defrag option - is it an add on or 'snap in' thanks...
[23:29] <psywiped> then go to computer management thesaint
[23:29] <n8tuserf> meoblast001 -> you said you read the manual for mysqldump?  did you somehow missed this:  shell> mysqldump --master-data=2 --all-databases > dumpfile
[23:29] <Iceman_B^Ltop> prince_jammys: you were right, thanks
[23:30] <meoblast001> n8tuserf: let me check again and see if that's in there
[23:30] <thesaint4444> psywiped, that does not work, you have to defrag first I believe or disk shrink does not function.
[23:30] <f_newton> defrag is in system tools right next to disk clean up thesaint4444
[23:30] <thesaint4444> f_newton, got it thanks... - will give that a go now.
[23:30] <f_newton> k
[23:30] <psywiped> shrink works without a defrag it just wont give you as much space
[23:30] <f_newton> hope you have time
[23:30] <meoblast001> ok
[23:31] <wermse> I have an Intel DG45FC motherboard with Ubuntu 8.10 running on it right now.  All is working fine but I am unable to get the optical audio or HDMI audio to work.  the normal audio jacks on the motherboard work fine.  Any idea where I could look to figure out how to make optical audio work?
[23:31] <thesaint4444> psywiped, thanks - I could not get it to work...
[23:31] <f_newton> psywiped, that is very dangerous and generally causes you to lose important registry info
[23:31] <nephish> hey there all
[23:31] <psywiped> no issues for me when i did it
[23:31] <psywiped> hi nephish
[23:31] <C-S-B> wermse, I have a similar issue on my vaio, I think audio over hdmi is pretty hit and miss
[23:32] <meoblast001> n8tuserf: i really wouldnt calll this much of a backup
[23:32] <f_newton> thesaint4444, you also need to check your hardware for compatibility w/linux
[23:32] <meoblast001> n8tuserf: i don't see any of my data in there
[23:32] <wermse> i'm mostly trying to make the optical audio work.  I've read in numerous places that people have it working but i cant find anywhere explaining how they managed to get it to work
[23:32] <srid> hello there - I upgraded to Jaunty (9.04) and everything works except wireless: Network Manager shows list of available network, but when I select my wifi network, the connection keeps happening.. after 3 mins or so.. it failes. any idea why?

[23:49] <Reformer81> I'm currently running Amarok 2.0.1 and would like to update it to 2.0.1.1.  But following the instructions on the Kubuntu website still only gives me 2.0.1.
[23:50] <ikonia> Reformer81: if there is not an ubuntu package available it won't updat
[23:50] <ikonia> update
[23:50] <meoblast001> is it safe to have a mysql password listed in cleartext as a script my server will run to backup data?
[23:50] <Reformer81> ikonia: The website says there is.
[23:50] <ikonia> meoblast001: your call
[23:50] <ikonia> Reformer81: what website ?
[23:50] <meoblast001> ikonia: is it outragously dangerous?
[23:50] <Reformer81> ikonia: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/amarok-2.0.1.1
[23:50] <dufourj> has anyone used the linksys gigabit nic with ubuntu 8.04
[23:50] <ikonia> meoblast001: only as safe as your servers setup and the people who use it
[23:51] <meoblast001> ikonia: i'm the only one who logs in
[23:51] <TruthTaco> what does i386 mean
[23:51] <dufourj> please help!
[23:51] <meoblast001> ikonia: i plan to store it in a home directory or something like that
[23:51] <meoblast001> ikonia: most likely /root
[23:51] <ikonia> meoblast001: depends how secure your server is
[23:51] <meoblast001> ikonia: its a backup cronjob script
[23:51] <dufourj> I need help using a linksys EG1032
[23:51] <ikonia> Reformer81: are you using kubuntu ?
[23:52] <meoblast001> ikonia: is there a way to mysqldump without the password or do you need it?
[23:52] <dufourj> please help
[23:52] <McShane> TruthTaco: in what context?
[23:52] <ikonia> meoblast001: you can setup root so it doesn't need a password from local host
[23:52] <Marine_> Is there a copy of the breezy repo's anywhere?
[23:52] <sebsebseb> dufourj: wireless?
[23:52] <ikonia> Marine_: old-releases.ubuntu.com
[23:52] <dufourj> sebsebseb: no
[23:52] <meoblast001> ikonia: how do i do that?
[23:52] <TruthTaco> well i was looking at the add/remove software thing and it says this wont work with your computer type (i386)
[23:52] <ikonia> meoblast001: "grant" mysql command
[23:53] <Reformer81> ikonia: No, gnome.
[23:53] <theacolyte> Trying to install build-essential on my ubuntu 8.04 server machine, and it says the package isn't found
[23:53] <theacolyte> any ideas?
[23:53] <meoblast001> ikonia: ?
[23:53] <sebsebseb> TruthTaco: 32bit computer
[23:53] <TruthTaco> ah
[23:53] <ikonia> Reformer81: po1ssibly why you're having a problem - that repo is for the KDE 4.1 archive and it's aPPA
[23:53] <Marine_> thanks ikonia
[23:53] <Bruce> how do i know who is the root user?
[23:53] <sebsebseb> TruthTaco: 32bit proccessor
[23:53] <McShane> TruthTaco: then that means 32-bit, and the app you want may be 64-bit, or Power PC, etc.
[23:53] <Bruce> i forget account in ubuntu
[23:53] <TruthTaco> thanks
[23:53] <Reformer81> ikonia: It's the exact same repo I used to install Amarok 2 in the first place.
[23:53] <NitroGlyceriX> !pastebin
[23:53] <ikonia> meoblast001: grant no paassword to root@localhost
[23:53] <dufourj> sebsebseb: it is wired
[23:53] <sebsebseb> Bruce: by default the root user is not enabled,  and sudo and gksudo are used instead
[23:54] <roadrock> theacolyte: enable all the repos in/from synaptic should do it, then hit reload.
[23:54] <Bruce> ok
[23:54] <meoblast001> ikonia: is that more secure or less secure than storing it in clear text?
[23:54] <sebsebseb> dufourj: which bit of hardware? a router?
[23:54] <ikonia> meoblast001: again - your call, depends on how your server is setup for security
[23:54] <victoria> hi
[23:54] <roadrock> theacolyte: sorry, server version, check /etc/apt/sources.list
[23:54] <sebsebseb> victoria: hi
[23:54] <dufourj> sebsebseb: a nic
[23:54] <DVA5912> Will ports blocked on the host computer be blocked on the virtural client pc? ubuntu and windows xp rpo client in vmware
[23:54] <ikonia> Reformer81: have you done a sudo apt-get update ?
[23:55] <sebsebseb> dufourj: I don't know
[23:55] <dufourj> sebsebseb: replacing my 10/100 with 10/100/1000
[23:55] <dufourj> anyone else?
[23:55] <dufourj> please help!
[23:55] <ikonia> dufourj: with what ?
[23:55] <dufourj> ikonia: installing a nic
[23:55] <Reformer81> ikonia: Yes.
[23:55] <sebsebseb> victoria: you want help with something?
[23:55] <ikonia> dufourj: what's the problem
[23:55] <dufourj> ikonia: a linksys eg1032 on ubuntu 8.04
[23:56] <ikonia> dufourj: what's the problem ?
[23:56] <sebsebseb> DVA5912: yes I think  ports are blocked in the vm, that are blocked on the host.  your on about router ports?
[23:56] <theacolyte> roadrock: think that's it... cdrom got commented
[23:56] <ikonia> Reformer81: check the package with dpkg -l
[23:56] <ikonia> Reformer81: see if your on the current
[23:56] <dufourj> ikonia: the website doesnt list it as supported but neither is the one i am currently talking to you on
[23:56] <DVA5912> sebsebseb: no my dell axim X5 wont sync with active sync on the client
[23:56] <ikonia> dufourj: ok, so what's the problem ?
[23:56] <theacolyte> roadrock: yep, thanks
[23:56] <Reformer81> ikonia: Oh
[23:56] <sebsebseb> DVA5912: remind me what active sync is
[23:56] <DVA5912> How do i add port execptions in ip tables
[23:57] <Reformer81> ikonia: Apparently I am lol
[23:57] <ikonia> Reformer81: there we go then
[23:57] <DVA5912> sebsebseb: it allows you to syncornize betwen you device and the windows machine
[23:57] <DVA5912> and vise versa
[23:57] <dufourj> ikonia: will it work at 1000mbps if i install it?
[23:57] <ikonia> dufourj: try it
[23:57] <sebsebseb> DVA5912: other ways to share stuff between the host Ubuntu and  your guest VM windows
[23:57] <sebsebseb> DVA5912: I am talking about files
[23:58] <victoria> sebsebseb: yes, and no :).. i mean maybe.. i am just confused, i let you know if i need help
[23:58] <DVA5912> sebsebseb: i would use them but, my wirless card needs drivers that only windows can provide
[23:58] <ikonia> dufourj: I wouldn't wory about 1000mbps if I was you as disk writes and reads on a home user kit will slow it down to 20mbps-ish at best
[23:58] <sebsebseb> victoria: confused with what?
[23:58] <DVA5912> sebsebseb: all i need to do is open the ports
[23:58] <NoNick34234> hello
[23:58] <fearful> !hi | NoNick34234
[23:58] <sebsebseb> DVA5912: ndiswrapper is for  using Windows drivers with Linux
[23:59] <zamba> i need a tool to organize cd-roms, the contents on the different ones.. anyone know of such a tool?
[23:59] <sebsebseb> NoNick34234: hi
[23:59] <dufourj> ikonia: but the wireless transferrs at 300 wireless N
[23:59] <DVA5912> sebsebseb: your not following. i think i just need to open ports
[23:59] <mrpockets> theres a line that i need to replace with something involving emerald in CCM to get emerald window manager working yes?
[23:59] <NoNick34234> i'm trying to install the ubuntu alt. cd, from a USB stick, and its not detecting a CD-ROM. is there a trick to fix that?
[23:59] <zamba> one that scans the cd-/dvd disc and then creates a searchable index of the contents
[23:59] <dufourj> and the NIC is 1000
[23:59] <WarriorSlayer> guys there's any problem if i try to compile my own kernel under ubuntu?
[23:59] <ikonia> dufourj: I doubt that - I think you'll find it's connected at 300mbps - not transfering
[23:59] <sebsebseb> WarriorSlayer: I woudn't recommend it
