[00:00] <nate_> now it really gets boring
[00:00] <tripps> isn't there a key combination you can use on a link to override the def behavior in FF and always present a dialog?
[00:00] <eugeniow> anyone tried installing on to  Asus P5GC-MX/1333 mother board?
[00:00] <redvamp128> tripps:  I did find this addon -- MediaPlayerConnectivity :: Firefox Add-ons <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/446>
[00:01] <dou213> !ssh
[00:01] <bazz> is there a document somewhere that describes how dpkg does version checking?  for example, if i require [package] (>= 4.2.32) will both 4.2.32-10 and 4.2.32-6ubuntu1 satisfy it?
[00:01] <nate_> later dudes
[00:01] <roadrock> nate_: happy trails
[00:02] <dancemc87> hey, good evening.
[00:02] <sebsebseb> dancemc87: hi
[00:03] <DeannaT2> ma3x, here maybe this also: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Install_Ubuntu_8.10_(Intrepid_Ibex)_on_a_Thinkpad_T400
[00:04] <Jado> i'm trying to access my linux partition from windows using explore2fs but that does not work
[00:05] <dancemc87> i have a short question and i hope anyone in here can answer it. i have unsupported hardware under ubuntu 8.10 and i would like to know if there is anyone of you having the right driver for me: surecom ethernet pcmcia card ep-427 as well known as "tamarack ethernet" under windows. please help me! i desperate and my google research was unsuccessful!
[00:05] <Jado> nothing is displayed in hda5 nor hda8
[00:05] <dancemc87> it is this one that makes trouble: http://www.drivers.ru/images/catalog/surecom_ep427.jpg
[00:06] <ma3x> DeannaT2: there's nothing on that page
[00:07] <DeannaT2> :-(
[00:07] <Jado> why can't i access my ubuntu partition with explore2fs ?
[00:07] <redvamp128> tripps: if that does not work then another suggestion may be -- rename the .mozilla folder - then reinstall firefox using synaptic then copy the profile folder over to the new .mozilla (that is my only other suggestion)
[00:08] <DeannaT2> ma3x,  on the second link ?
[00:08] <Slart> Jado: oh.. it's a game.. we're supposed to guess?? fun fun.. let me start... "you have no keyboard"!! was I right?
[00:08] <spaceBARbarian> blizzle=> i cant get my ubuntu guest to pick up on the host interface, it doesnt get an inet address at all
[00:08] <ma3x> DeannaT2: sorry i didn't copy paste the url properly
[00:08] <nickrud> Slart, rflol (not nice though ;)
[00:08] <ma3x> thanks!
[00:08] <Slart> Jado: more details will get you better guesses
[00:09] <blizzle> spaceBARbarian,  dhcp enabled on your router?
[00:09] <spaceBARbarian> blizzle=> dont have a router, its a dorm room connection
[00:09] <Slart> Jado: and not everyone here is as rude as I am.. some of the other people are actually nice
[00:09] <tuxtox> does any one know the command to list the devices?  I specifically need to know what the wireless device is called.
[00:10] <Slart> tuxtox: lsusb for usb stuff.. lspci for other stuff
[00:10] <blizzle> spaceBARbarian, try pump from the terminal. You may have to install it.
[00:10] <Slart> tuxtox: lshw will give you a long long long list
[00:10] <Myrtti> Slart: here's a thought: if you have nothing fruitful to say, don't say anything. That's what I do.
[00:10] <blizzle> tuxtox, lspci
[00:10] <tuxtox> slart is there a modifier to cut it down?
[00:10] <Myrtti> tuxtox: sudo lshw -c network
[00:10] <Carstairs> to whomever helped me just before thankyou it worked a treat. Now I need to get ATI drivers installed and working
[00:10] <sergei1987> Hi.. anyone know, does ubuntu 8.04.2 support ATI Radeon 2100 ? Because when tried to run LiveCD, gdm fail to start.
[00:11] <Slart> tuxtox: I usually use "lshw | grep -i network" .. change "network" for whatever you want to search for
[00:11] <Slart> Myrtti: point taken. Will do.
[00:11] <entrooo> Anybody know how I can close an error window that doesn't close when I hit ok?
[00:11] <sergei1987> ubuntu 8.10 run well.. excepeting driver problem with this viddeo adapter
[00:11] <sergei1987> :\
[00:12] <DeannaT2> entrooo, what kind of  windows? java?
[00:12] <lbracher_> hi there! I would like to execute a script when a certain file is created. how can I do this?
[00:13] <DeannaT2> entrooo,  you can look which process is running and then kill them
[00:13] <entrooo> Deaanat2, how do I check that?
[00:13] <alex-weej> lbracher_: you need a long-running program to monitor the file
[00:13] <Slart> lbracher_: a small script that checks if the file exists.. run it from crontab.. it might be up to a minute before it "finds" the file by doing that though
[00:15] <entrooo> DeannaT2, how do I check my processes?
[00:15] <DeannaT2> entroo, this is called "systemüberwachung"  system-control?
[00:15] <DeannaT2> dont know the right verb
[00:15] <lbracher_> Slart: a friend told me now about a daemon called fam - file alteration monitor
[00:15] <nickrud> lbracher_, you might want to look into inotify-tools ; it monitors for filesystem changes
[00:16] <blizzle> DeannaT2, Possibly control-centre, or settings.
[00:16] <lbracher_> its new! :)
[00:16] <Carstairs> system monitor?
[00:16] <BigMike> whats wachung?
[00:16] <adaptr> lbracher_: that;s very, very old - use inotify or dnotify
[00:16] <BigMike> system over sometghing?
[00:16] <lbracher_> inotify
[00:16] <lbracher_> ok!
[00:16] <lbracher_> thanks! :)
[00:16] <Carstairs> system over view
[00:16] <entrooo> Thx DeannaT2, figured it out :D
[00:16] <Slart> lbracher_: I just googled fam and it sounds very nice.. much better than trying to read the file every minute
[00:16] <BigMike> is there an interface show command in linux?
[00:17] <lbracher_> Slart: yes
[00:17] <scientes> can i get rid of the ubuntu logos in synaptic?
[00:17] <lbracher_> ill try this and inotify
[00:17] <scientes> its a comletely useless metric cause it include non-free software
[00:17] <lbracher_> bbl
[00:17] <The_Rebel> how do i check the number of threads that are running?
[00:17] <scientes> nvm i figured it out
[00:17] <klenz87> hey i just installed ubuntu 8.10 did updates and enabled my restricted drivers but my resolution is really low and i cant seem to fix it can anyone help?
[00:18] <DeannaT2> system >> systemcontrol= (Systemverwaltung) >> systemüberwachung entrooo,  überwachung = control
[00:18] <_spaceBARbarian> blizzle=> pump says operation failed
[00:18] <scientes> klenz87, did your resolution work before you installed restricted drivers?
[00:18] <_spaceBARbarian> blizzle=> i dont think my rooter is going to assign it an IP, is there any other way to do this ?
[00:18] <klenz87>  scientes: it was better before
[00:18] <ezerhoden> klenz87: did you restart X?
[00:18] <klenz87> yes i did
[00:19] <blizzle> _spaceBARbarian, You might want to look at /etc/samba/smb.conf and manually configure an ip.
[00:19] <klenz87>  scientes: i cant go higher then 640
[00:19] <klenz87> 640X480
[00:19] <blizzle> _spaceBARbarian, Or use your environment's network manager to achieve the same.
[00:20] <klenz87> can i just change this in my xorg Option         "metamodes" "640x480_60 +0+0"
[00:20] <klenz87> nvsettings also thinks im using a crt monitor but i actually have an lcd
[00:24] <ucrit> klenz87: how about this command sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg, have u tried it?
[00:24] <tripps> redvamp128, uninstalled gxine which did the trick
[00:24] <klenz87> ucrit: no i have not
[00:24] <ucrit> klenz87: try to run that command from terminal
[00:25] <klenz87> xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration
[00:25] <klenz87>    file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20090223192447
[00:25] <klenz87> that was the out put
[00:25] <scientes> can i get rid of the Canonical does not provide updates for foo. Some updates may be provided by the Ubuntu community. crap?
[00:25] <tripps> my settings on audacious (eq preset, etc.) also seems to have been lost in the upgrade to ibex . .
[00:25] <oh_noes> Whats the difference between these two sources.list lines?  ie. what does "debian-installer" mean or do?
[00:25] <ucrit> klenz87: now, restart your X server, let me know what is happen

[00:29] <redvamp128> klenz87:  I have that card and I run 8.04 (it had some issues for me on Intrepid) I run the 96 drivers on 8.04
[00:29] <dancemc87> i have unsupported hardware under ubuntu 8.10 and i would like to know if there is anyone of you having the right driver for me: surecom ethernet pcmcia card ep-427 as well known as "tamarack ethernet" under windows. please help!
[00:29] <klenz87> redvamp can u send me a copy of ur xorg?
[00:30] <klenz87> cuz thats how i got it working in ibex used the same xorg file from 8.04
[00:30] <redvamp128> hold on
[00:30] <JonathanEllis> I need to install Ubuntu on a laptop whose cd drive no longer works. It will work with a USB cd drive but it cant boot from it. Is there any reason why I cant remove the hard disk, put it in my desktop machine and then install Ubuntu before putting it back in my laptop? I looked at a network install but I lack the expertise to set up a server to install from
[00:30] <redvamp128> klenz87:  now you do have the nvidia-glx-96 drivers right?
[00:31] <klenz87> redvamp128: yes i do
[00:31] <dronix> After pressing ctrl+alt+F7 ubuntu won't go back to the x windows session. Any suggestions?
[00:31] <nDuff> Are Jaunty's mono packages likely to backport to Ibex cleanly?
[00:32] <nDuff> (better yet, are such backported packages already available anywhere?)
[00:32] <tuxtox> Does anyone know where to get a .inf (driver) file for a wireless Broadcom 4312 ?
[00:33] <redvamp128> klenz87:  http://www.pastebin.ca/1345377
[00:33] <klenz87> redvamp thanx
[00:33] <redvamp128> I have mine set for 1024x768 and also have the fix for compiz (tittlebars)
[00:34] <tacomuncher> anyone mind helping me compile a source code into a pkg (or whatever its is***Rather new to linux)
[00:35] <zcat[1]> !b-e | tacomuncher
[00:35] <nickrud> tacomuncher, isn't the software available from the repos? (that is, what's the software)
[00:35] <tacomuncher> the software is NVClock from nvida...all they had is the source code
[00:35] <JonathanEllis> tacomuncher: You may need to add an additional repository and then maybe you wont need to compile the software at all
[00:36] <nickrud> tacomuncher, then see what zcat[1] said, it should set you up
[00:36] <giaco> hello
[00:36] <nickrud> tacomuncher, hm, revise that: it's in the repos;   apt-cache search nvclock
[00:36] <heatmzzr> i dloaded ekiga3.0.2 ... how do I extract it so everything goes where it supposed to??? thanks
[00:36] <tacomuncher> it comes with a read me...but im stuck at the first step where it says do "./autogen.sh
[00:37] <tacomuncher> ok
[00:37] <tacomuncher> not sure what that ment !b-e | tacomuncher
[00:37] <nickrud> tacomuncher, read my last: it's in the repos, no need to compile.
[00:37] <giaco> I've found a strange file inside my folder and I don't know what it is and where it's coming from, and it's quite big: 1.4gb. I would like to ask you the fastest say to find out what it is
[00:38] <giaco> I've already tried to open in in vlc
[00:38] <thiebaude> tacomuncher: sudo apt-get install nvclock
[00:38] <tacomuncher> ahh..ok...so what do i need to do...just visit the site and dl it...sorry again im new to the linux lingo
[00:38] <nickrud> giaco,   file <file> will tell you some stuff
[00:38] <heatmzzr> i dloaded ekiga3.0.2 ... how do I extract it so everything goes where it supposed to??? thanks
[00:38] <JonathanEllis> !install software
[00:38] <tacomuncher> awesome thx
[00:38] <JonathanEllis> !install
[00:38] <giaco> nickrud, it says UTF-8 Unicode English text, with very long lines
[00:38] <JonathanEllis> !installing software
[00:38] <JonathanEllis> !installing
[00:39] <thiebaude> !software
[00:39] <nickrud> giaco, try opening it with   less   <file>   then
[00:39] <rww> !botabuse
[00:39] <tacomuncher> well that was easy
[00:39] <tacomuncher> thx thiebaude
[00:39] <JonathanEllis> !software|tacomuncher
[00:39] <nickrud> tacomuncher, 95% of what you may ever want is in repos, search there first when you see something you like on the net
[00:39] <thiebaude> yw, you'll find that the terminal isn't hard to figure out
[00:40] <syockit> I always search whatever's on the repo on the net first.
[00:41] <giaco> nickrud, I'm reading it, it seems a kind of backup file
[00:41] <giaco> but I don't know who generated it
[00:41] <giaco> it's like a huge ctags tag list
[00:41] <nickrud> giaco, head or tail, usually that's where you find generator info (if it's available)
[00:42] <giaco> nickrud, no informations, i'm deleting it
[00:43] <tacomuncher> so...i installed it...did a terminal start...just typed"nvclock"...and it pops up a list of commands...is there a gui version i can launch...if anyone knows this software
[00:45] <nickrud> tacomuncher, install nvclock-gtk   or nvclock-qt   ;   apt-cache search nvclock would have listed those
[00:45] <nickrud> tacomuncher, gtk for ubuntu, qt for kubuntu
[00:46] <klenz87> well that idea didnt work
[00:48] <caimlas> anyone here have a wpc54gs 11g pcmcia card working in ubuntu 8.10? can't seem to figure out why this card isn't detecting by kernel, or even which driver I'm supposed to use (ndis? so google suggests. is there supposed to be one in the kernel at all?): lspcmcia shows "CardBus card -- see "lspci" for more information", lspci (as well as iwth -vv) shows nothing pertaining to the card, and dmesg only shows two lines (one for insert, one for
[00:48] <caimlas> removal - no ID info) for the card.
[00:48] <redvamp128> klenz87:  when you are changing the settings- are you using  'sudo nvidia-settings'?
[00:50] <WebcamWonder> caimlas: ndiswrapper would be the thing you are talking about
[00:50] <WebcamWonder> !ndiswrapper | caimlas
[00:51] <meoblast001> if anyone has Inspircd (which no one probably does), what do i do to <bind address="*" port="6667" type="clients">  to let clients connect?
[00:51] <axisys> i tried to reinstall ubuntu on same disk (250gb) .. except this time i get grub error 18.. should I just grub-install /dev/sda and reinstall ubuntu or there is a quicker fix?
[00:52] <klenz87> redvamp128: yes i am
[00:52] <geotsai> is there a recreational channel for ubuntu users on irc?

[00:57] <ARCKEDA> bohemian_:
[00:57] <ARCKEDA> Do not repeat.
[00:57] <rww> WebcamWonder: Intrepid has Ekiga 2, not 3, hence (I assume) him downloading.
[00:57] <ARCKEDA> I have never heard of it.
[00:57] <bohemian_> trying to make it work in ubuntu 8.10
 i believe you can apt-get insall ekiga
[00:57] <M1DLG> anyone know how i install quake3 using the loki cd (setup.sh)
[00:57] <bohemian_> ARCKEDA: but have you tried multiseat in ubuntu?
[00:58] <ARCKEDA> bohemian_:
[00:58] <ARCKEDA> I have not.
[00:58] <ActionParsnip1> yo yo yo
[00:59] <bohemian_> hi ActionParsnip1
[00:59] <_VIM_> so quiet tonight
[00:59] <ActionParsnip1> bohemian_: clean install takes too long :(
[00:59] <robbmunson> ActionParsnip1, linux takes patience :)
[00:59] <bohemian_> hmmm...
[00:59] <ActionParsnip1> robbmunson: oh i know, gentoo takes more though
[01:00] <M1DLG> how do i install an app with a setup.sh file??
[01:00] <ActionParsnip1> robbmunson: than this ubuntu
[01:00] <jrib> M1DLG: you avoid it.  What are you installing?
[01:00] <bohemian_> _VIM_: any idea on multiseat
[01:00] <ActionParsnip1> M1DLG: chmod +x setup.sh; ./setup.sh

[01:01] <Crooper> i'm having problems with virtual hosting in 8.04... i can see my web site from local lan but not on Internet. I can however logg onto the server thru ftp and ssh using namebased hosting. how do i make my site visible to the web?
[01:02] <_VIM_> Crooper: is port 80 open in the router (if you have one)
[01:02] <M1DLG> i have had more luke using the win version of quake3 in wine than the official linux version
[01:02] <bohemian_> ActionParsnip1: i've seen and tried some too, but no luck :(
[01:02] <ActionParsnip1> Crooper: did you setup port forwarding / virtual server on your router?
[01:02] <M1DLG> *luck
[01:02] <Crooper> yes _VIM_
[01:02] <_VIM_> Crooper: does your ISP block such ports?
[01:02] <Crooper> ftp and ssh are accessable from the web just not http
[01:03] <_VIM_> that means nothing
[01:03] <zcat[1]> I'd guess your ISP blocks port 80. many do
[01:03] <bancek> i have a problem with raid, i have hp proliant server, and when i install ubuntu server, i can see disk and install, but at booting it says that /dev/mapper/ddf1_raid3 is missing
[01:03] <Crooper> ok thnx... i'll check
[01:03] <_VIM_> they may allow port 22/23 but not 80
[01:03] <_VIM_> Crooper:
[01:03] <Myst__> Anyone have any ideo when i add this line sudo iptables -A INPUT -j DROP when i use sudo iptables -L -v it takes a long time to see the list? without that line it is lightning quick, also all the rules work...
[01:03] <_VIM_> google "Shields UP"
[01:03] <_VIM_> and run a test
[01:03] <Crooper> ok
[01:03] <zcat[1]> surprised they'd allow 21 though...
[01:03] <BigMike> grc.com
[01:03] <ActionParsnip1> Crooper: use port 81 instead
[01:04] <_VIM_> you can do that too
[01:04] <BigMike> :)

[01:07] <tuxtox> actionparsnip1 nothin
[01:07] <exodus_ms> tuxtox, yeah, so go to the manufactures web site and see if there are drivers available for download or copy it from the install disc, which as already been suggested
[01:07] <ActionParsnip1> tuxtox: lspci     and read
[01:07] <WebcamWonder> tuxtox: try Broadcom, it should be capital for regex, I think :)
[01:07] <MrGorsky> :j #gentoo
[01:08] <WebcamWonder> MrGorsky: /, not :
[01:08] <_VIM_> fail
[01:08] <ActionParsnip1> M1DLG: linux wont help you with that, you need to be exact in filename and case
[01:08] <ActionParsnip1> M1DLG: you can tab complete to be sure its correct
[01:08] <MrGorsky> WebcamWonder: Yes yes my bad ;)
[01:08] <tuxtox> madagu i dont know what wireless cd your talking about.
[01:08] <redvamp128> tuxtox:  you could try this page for info on that driver- WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Hardy - Community Ubuntu Documentation <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Hardy>
[01:08] <WebcamWonder> !broadcom | tuxtox
[01:08] <tuxtox> redvamp128 thankyou
[01:09] <M1DLG> actionparsnip1 - when i doi the second part i get error 9: function : notfoundx86
[01:09] <M1DLG> actionparsnip1 - when i doi the second part i get "error 9: function : not found x86"
[01:09] <ActionParsnip1> M1DLG: then go find what that means
[01:09] <bancek> why doesn't ubuntu load raid drivers for my raid 1 array?
[01:09] <WebcamWonder> !raid | bancek
[01:09] <exodus_ms> tuxtox, The 'wireless cd' is the cd that came with the wifi card. it has the drivers on it
[01:09] <M1DLG> ?well i am a bit noobish still?
[01:09] <ActionParsnip1> M1DLG: best way to learn
[01:10] <M1DLG> :)
[01:10] <bancek> what about hardware raid?
[01:10] <ActionParsnip1> hardware raid is awesome
[01:10] <ActionParsnip1> software raid is garbage
[01:10] <ethana2> What's the one screensaver configuration package that doesn't treat the user like an idiot?
[01:10] <ActionParsnip1> imho
[01:10] <bonhoffer> i am having trouble booting from usb -- i have lost write access to my root filesystem
[01:10] <exodus_ms> fake raid :(
[01:10] <ethana2> I'd like to specify a folder for the Pictures screensaver
[01:10] <bancek> yup, but ubuntu doesn't load drivers for mine
[01:10] <ActionParsnip1> ethana2: apt-cache search screen saver
[01:11]  * ethana2 does that
[01:11] <_VIM_> directory*
[01:11] <ActionParsnip1> bancek: add the module for the raid to /etc/modules
[01:11] <Crooper> _VIM_, sheild's up said all my ports were in stealth?
[01:11] <_VIM_> Crooper: that would be why its not working then
[01:12] <Crooper> but the others are in stealth too
[01:12] <Basspick3r79> #starwards
[01:12] <ethana2> bleh, conflict between my KOffice and my KDE4
[01:12]  * ethana2 removes KOffice repo
[01:13] <_VIM_> Crooper: you're probably going to have to put your website on port 81 then
[01:13] <_VIM_> then give people the url http://www.whatever.com:81
[01:13] <Iceman_B^Ltop> is it possible to change permissions on a samba share from windows if the share is hosted on Ubuntu ?
[01:13] <Iceman_B^Ltop> *from within
[01:13] <M1DLG> actionparsnip1 - found bash ./setup.sh works
[01:13] <bancek> how do i know which module to add for my raid? is there some generic?
[01:14] <ActionParsnip1> M1DLG: then the script is written badly
[01:14] <_VIM_> Iceman_B^Ltop: I would just ssh into the linux box and set the permissions
[01:14] <ActionParsnip1> glad its working
[01:14] <ActionParsnip1> )
[01:14] <_VIM_> !ssh
[01:14] <M1DLG> possibly one of the reasons loki entertainement went down the tube?
[01:15] <AETE_KRAOUD> ee
[01:15] <_VIM_> ?
[01:15] <AETE_KRAOUD> Ubuntuforums is DOWN
[01:15] <M1DLG> have new error

[01:15] <AETE_KRAOUD> _VIM_,  : yes
[01:15] <WebcamWonder> AETE_KRAOUD: Worksforme
[01:15] <M1DLG> where do installations go? it's after a directory to installl to
[01:15] <_VIM_> hmmm there's always google cache or waybackmachine
[01:16] <AETE_KRAOUD> _VIM_, : ok know is fine
[01:16] <Iceman_B^Ltop> _VIM_: of course, but I want to make sure that there is 0,0 possibility from within windows, so that none of my housemates can break stuff
[01:16] <ethana2> how do I remove all packages that depend on a given oen?
[01:16] <ethana2> one**

[01:16] <AETE_KRAOUD> WebcamWonder, : know it's ok
[01:16] <kanyukuk> woah holy shit
[01:16] <WebcamWonder> ethana2: If you remove the depending package, it would ask you to remove all the depending packages as well :)
[01:16] <AETE_KRAOUD> _VIM_, : it was down only for 1 minute .. thank god :-)
[01:16] <_VIM_> Iceman_B^Ltop: well in that situation you'll just have to change the pass every week or so
[01:17] <_VIM_> ok AETE_KRAOUD :)
[01:17] <AETE_KRAOUD> sorry how can i import a gpg keyring ?
[01:17] <ethana2> WebcamWonder: it won't let me do any of tha
[01:17] <ethana2> ..just complains about dependencies over and over again
[01:17]  * ethana2 removes more repos
[01:17] <AETE_KRAOUD> do you now any link that has information how to do that ?
[01:17] <WebcamWonder> ethana2: Pastebin it please
[01:17]  * ethana2 does
[01:18] <AETE_KRAOUD> how can i add a gpg key ? what's the command ?
[01:18] <Iceman_B^Ltop> also, I'd like to know if the password and user I set via smbpasswd utility needs to match ANY user I have created either in Linux, or any of the usernames from connecting WinXP boxes.
[01:18] <_VIM_> gpg --import <file>
[01:18] <_VIM_> i think.
[01:18] <AETE_KRAOUD> hmmm i will try it
[01:18] <Iceman_B^Ltop> Ive found that WinXP gives you the option to specify a username and pass when you mount the share as a networkd drive
[01:19] <ethana2> http://paste.ubuntu.com/122123/
[01:19] <ethana2> WebcamWonder: there it be
[01:19] <ethana2> oh, I'll show you what it does when I run what it tells me, just a second
[01:19] <M1DLG> actionparsnip1 - thanks ! I have a nearly completed install
[01:19] <WebcamWonder> ethana2: Do you want to get rid of kde?
[01:20] <ethana2> I want my package manager to work
[01:20] <ethana2> I use gnome, so, if removing KDE is what it takes, sure
[01:20] <WebcamWonder> ethana2: sudo aptitude install -f, should fix the dependencies first
[01:20] <ethana2> k, I've done that, but let me get you a pastebin of it
[01:20] <_VIM_> Iceman_B^Ltop: that I don't know for sure, but you could always try keepassx, it's a really nice password manager, very advanced for the price (Free) :)  you can export passwords as databases and stick them on usb sticks and whatnot ...
[01:21] <Iceman_B^Ltop> im using keepass
[01:21] <_VIM_> and there's a windows keepass too
[01:21] <_VIM_> ah
[01:21] <Iceman_B^Ltop> but thats what what I meant
[01:21] <ethana2> http://paste.ubuntu.com/122124/
[01:21] <Iceman_B^Ltop> *not
[01:21] <ethana2> WebcamWonder:
[01:21] <WebcamWonder> ethana2: Also, what is uninstall? alias to?
[01:21] <ethana2> sudo apt-get remove, of course
[01:21] <Iceman_B^Ltop> I meant, when I am configuring my smb.conf file and creating users
[01:21] <yuri_> Q: I'd like to take a pic from my laptop's webcam from the command line.
[01:21] <_VIM_> yeah i know Iceman_B^Ltop. Sorry couldn't be of more assistance on that
[01:21] <_VIM_> keep asking :)
[01:22] <WebcamWonder> ethana2: General info, use aptitude, it is much better with dependency handling, but let me loot at your pastebin
[01:22] <ethana2> k
[01:22] <Iceman_B^Ltop> _VIM_ hehe, no prob
[01:22] <_VIM_> Doesn't Cheese do that yuri_? Or is that GUI only?
[01:22] <Iceman_B^Ltop> oh, what does the sudo aptitude install -f command do?
[01:22] <sant82> have a question, i try to compile camera driver, but i get an error "[!] Kernel compiler and gcc seem to be different versions.", i see that Kernel compiler: gcc version 4.3.2 (Ubuntu 4.3.2-1ubuntu11), gcc version: Configurado con: ../src/configure -v --with-pkgversion='Ubuntu 4.3.2-1ubuntu12' ; ubuntu11 and ubuntu12, how i can downgrade gcc version to compile this driver?
[01:22] <Iceman_B^Ltop> Im getting different solutions with different scores
[01:22] <yuri_> _VIM_: ill check.. but its prob gui only
[01:23] <bancek> i can only get my raid working if i type disk-detect and then asks me for my raid
[01:23] <bancek> how can i put that to boot?
[01:23] <JonathanEllis> What is the difference between apt-get and aptitude?
[01:23] <WebcamWonder> !info koffice-data-kde4
[01:23] <_VIM_> Aptitude handles dependencies "better" or so they say... it depends on who you ask JonathanEllis
[01:23] <ethana2> it's from the kubuntu members ppa
[01:24] <ethana2> ..a source I've deactivated
[01:24] <eepberies> do any of you know anything about installing and using LIRC?
[01:24] <yuri_> _VIM_: gui only
[01:24] <_VIM_> :/
[01:25] <WebcamWonder> ethana2: Ok, so it seems to be a conflict between files. You could try removing koffice-data-kde4, and re-installting the icons, and see if that works. I don't really know how important koffice-data-kde4 is in terms of depedencies to other packages
[01:25]  * ethana2 tries

[01:26] <ethana2> WebcamWonder: it won't let me do it, because of dependencies
[01:26] <WebcamWonder> ethana2: Pastebin?
[01:26] <ethana2> k
[01:26] <_VIM_> sickdm: apache 2 service can be removed from System > Admin > Services I think it is

[01:28] <_VIM_> Ubuntu forums down again :(
[01:28] <WebcamWonder> ethana2: Turn on the KDE PPA source, and then try all these commands, install -f should bring in some packages from that repo

[01:34] <uoaphys> Hi Guys, I'm in Ubuntu 8.04 and mounting a Crucial Gizmo Jr. (usb flash drive) and it says "invalid mount options" when I insert the usb flash drive?

[01:34] <uoaphys> Tully: ; thanks, what should I do first?
[01:35] <WebcamWonder> ethana2: What the heck kinda deadlock is that... :|... sudo aptitude purge kdebase-runtime kde-icons-oxygen
[01:35] <Tully> uoaphys, go to http://www.infoslash.net they have already posted a fix for it
[01:35] <ethana2> two packages include the same file
[01:35] <ethana2> bad packaging job on the part of one of them
[01:35] <Myst__> Anyone have any ideo when i add this line sudo iptables -A INPUT -j DROP when i use sudo iptables -L -v it takes a long time to see the list? without that line it is lightning quick, also the rules all seem to work fine...
[01:35] <ethana2> they should be notified but I'm too lazy
[01:35] <WebcamWonder> ethana2: Well, both include the doxygen theme so it seems

[01:37] <WebcamWonder> ethana2: Try removing all the broken packages
[01:37] <ethana2> 'murder firefox'
[01:37] <ethana2> WebcamWonder: so is that a 'y'?
[01:37] <ethana2> or an 'n' or a 'q'?
[01:38] <_VIM_> uoaphys: i was kinda wondering what he as up to cause he said he can help you so fast, something wasnt right about that
[01:38] <WebcamWonder> ethana2: y, that should leave with less broken packages
[01:38] <att0> ever since I updated my system a few days ago, my screen flickers... luckily I made a backup of the whole drive of a clean Ubuntu install. How do I go about removing this install and putting the other one on?

[01:38] <dixond> hi all, I have 8.10, and a surprising thing is that i have applications -> accessories -> passwords & encryption keys with trusted keys in there, but they don't show up for contacts in either Thunderbird or Evolution - are these really not integrated?
[01:38] <uoaphys> So does anyone know whats up with my usb flash drive? it won't mount when I stick it in, says invalid mounting options
[01:38] <ethana2> WebcamWonder: yes.
[01:38] <mortuis99> im having trouble setting up my video can anyone help?
[01:38] <uoaphys> is there a way I can manually mount it and see if it will work?
[01:38] <dixond> if not, how do I import a .asc file in to Evolution or Thunderbird?
[01:38] <nDuff> att0, well, one way is to reboot onto the Live CD, and just rsync off the backup onto the target, with a --delete flag set
[01:39] <WebcamWonder> uoaphys: Depends on how you backed up/images your previous hdd
[01:39] <uoaphys> webcamwonder: well, this is just a blank usb flash drive so if i have to lose the data on it no biggie
[01:39] <att0> nDuff, I will look into rsync. thanks
[01:39] <WebcamWonder> uoaphys: Oh wait, never mind... I mixed you and att0, sorry
[01:39] <uoaphys> when I insert the usb flash drive into the usb port it says invalid mount options
[01:39] <mortuis99> im having trouble setting up my video can anyone help?
[01:40] <att0> WebcamWonder: it is in a .tar
[01:40] <TheLorax> how can I install amarok 2?
[01:40] <_VIM_> Also I'd suggest NoScript, that will prevent most harmful scripts that could take over FireFox uoaphys
[01:40] <presshere> mortuis99: what kind of problems?
[01:40] <WebcamWonder> uoaphys: Yeah, you can manually mount it, mount /dev/<device_name> /path/to/mount
[01:40] <tsrk> Where are the user crontabs stored?
[01:40] <uoaphys> WebcamWonder: ; how do I know the device name for a usb flash drive?
[01:40] <WebcamWonder> _VIM_: And there is a nice option of disabling websites from moving your firefox windows under the advanced config of javascript
[01:40] <sickdm> eh if you are on Firefox on Ubuntu, you are pretty damn secure on the web
[01:40] <WebcamWonder> uoaphys: sudo fdisk -l, to list all the partitions
[01:40] <jrib> tsrk: man crontab  and   man 5 crontab
[01:41] <sickdm> no activex hacks fr you, heh
[01:41] <_VIM_> yeah WebcamWonder very true
[01:41] <sickdm> _VIM_: thanks for that util, that's neat
[01:41] <_VIM_> sickdm: anytime :)
[01:41] <WebcamWonder> _VIM_: And if you want to keep it really really safe, lynx :P
[01:41] <presshere> uoaphys: search in /dev directory
[01:41] <mortuis99> presshere the screen isnt full size and i cant change resolution
[01:41] <sickdm> though doesn't script, i think deleting things is what we'll have to do
[01:41] <ethana2> WebcamWonder: so now I have removed kde4, and apt is happy again
[01:41] <presshere> mortuis99: had you insatll the drivers?
[01:41] <simple> sickdm, anything other then windows is damn secure in comparison
[01:41] <uoaphys> presshere: ; what does a USB flash drive typically come up as?
[01:41] <sickdm> simple: haha yeah
[01:42] <tsrk> jrgp, it doesn't say where the crontabs are actually stored
[01:42] <_VIM_> sickdm: my other method, if that script didnt work would have been to have you create a cron that when you login, it does sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
[01:42] <WebcamWonder> ethana2: Awesome! sudo apt-get check, just once to see if nothing is truly borken
[01:42] <jrib> tsrk: yes it does.  But why do you need to know?
[01:42] <ethana2> k
[01:42] <mortuis99> presshere im at a linux club meeting and am trying to help a member
[01:42] <tsrk> jrib, because I have to read a crontab from a backup

[01:42] <ethana2> WebcamWonder: looks good
[01:42] <_VIM_> ok :)
[01:42] <WebcamWonder> ethana2: Great, now if you could report that bug :P, that would help others I presume :)
[01:42] <jrib> tsrk: man crontab contains the information at the end of the first paragraph of the description section

[01:43] <WebcamWonder> ethana2: Alrighty, no probs
[01:43] <TheLorax> could somebody tell me how to get amarok 2 on ubuntu 8.04?
[01:43] <Huufarted> Installation question!  I'm reinstalling Ubuntu over an existing installation.  8.10 overtop of a previous 8.10.  No matter which partitioning option I choose, it wants to resize and change the partitions.  How do I tell it to leave the partitions alone and tell it to use what's already existing?
[01:43] <sickdm> prince_jammys: update-rc.d seemed like it wanted to take out everything in /etc/rcX.d or init.d about apache
[01:43] <WebcamWonder> ethana2: I haven't ever used KDE, so I don't even know the PPA guys or what channel they lie around
[01:43] <tsrk> jrip, oh, i see where it is, sorry for missing that.  i thought all the paths were underlined like the one's i saw
[01:43] <sickdm> i maybe want to use it one day :)
[01:44] <presshere> mortuis99: try: sudo apt-get update
[01:44] <ethana2> WebcamWonder: ah
[01:44] <ethana2> WebcamWonder: it'll be fixed in Jaunty, I'm sure
[01:44] <jrib> sorry for that folks :)
[01:44] <prince_jammys> sickdm: it can also put them back
[01:44] <sickdm> ah ok

[01:48] <kinja-sheep> Huufarted: I don't know.  I have Aspire One.
[01:48] <douglasrsl> what is the portuguese channel for ubuntu, anybody know?!
[01:48] <Elda> Meh sorry to bother, but what is the command to blacklist the system beep if you backspace or have a stuck key? :>
[01:49] <Huufarted> stand by, kinja-sheep.  i have something for you, then.

[01:49] <dudus> douglasrsl: #ubuntu-br
[01:49] <kinja-sheep> Elda: Try sudo rmmod pcspkr (unconfirmed).
[01:49] <WebcamWonder> Elda: You can remove the module that provides the system beep facility, pc-spkr IIRC
[01:49] <tacomuncher> anyone have any good tips for getting flash to install on 64-bit ubuntu

[01:50] <dipsett> hey guys. can someone plz help me opy my ubuntu kernel configs to arch
[01:50] <uoaphys> what the heck guys
[01:50] <presshere> mortuis99: it is a new installed OS? wich version?
[01:51] <uoaphys> i mounted /dev/sdc1 as a vfat filesystem into /mount/ufd manually at command line. And it seems to work. But when I insert the UFD into my usb port ubuntu detects it and attempts to mount it but fails with "invalid mount options" what gives? Can anyone help me track this down so I can get the Usb flash drive to work properly when inserting it?
[01:52] <WebcamWonder> uoaphys: By USB flash drive, I suppose you mean a card, with a card reader on your pc?
[01:52] <dustin87> Hello I have a question
[01:52] <dipsett> anyone?
[01:52] <_VIM_> !anyone
[01:52] <dustin87> I installed ubunto and am on it... i don't like it so when I went to re-install windows XP it said that my file format had to be in NTFS I had to change it to get ubunto to install... so how do I switch it back someone please help me.
[01:53] <dipsett> hey guys. can someone plz help me opy my ubuntu kernel configs to arch
[01:53] <dustin87> can someone please help me?
[01:53] <WebcamWonder> dustin87: If you want to completely get rid of everything, you could just repartition from the XP installer, and remove all partitions, and reformat
[01:53] <Sal__> heh im trying to link a directory to my home directory, but when i login via ftp it just acts as a file
[01:53] <Sal__> it wont let me view the directory itself, anyone know why?
[01:53] <WebcamWonder> dipsett: This is a channel for Ubuntu support, not Arch :)
[01:53] <presshere> dustin87: you want to reinstall windows without ubuntu?
[01:54] <dustin87> It will not let me do anything because it is not in NTFS format
[01:54] <Sal__> in other words ln -s /var/www /home/sal/www
[01:54] <dustin87> yeah
[01:54] <nickrud> dustin87, the simplest way is to boot the live cd, and use it to delete the ubuntu partition. Then xp will use the free space
[01:54] <Sal__> if i try to goto www via ftp
[01:54] <Sal__> it wont let me view the directory
[01:54] <Sal__> anyone know a way around this?
[01:54] <FloodBot1> Sal__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:54] <assmonger> hi guys. is it possible to make an alias for the root user than i can ssh into computers with, while disabling root login in sshd_config?
[01:54] <uoaphys> WebcamWonder: ; no I mean like a jump drive
[01:54] <Huufarted> kinja-sheep, what you need are the ath5k drivers.
[01:54] <dustin87> it will not let me because it says it is not in NTFS format that is what I am trying to fix.  And I am trying to install Vista
[01:54] <Huufarted> kinja-sheep, I am getting you the link now
[01:54] <uoaphys> just a USB memory stick
[01:54] <_VIM_> Sal__: try to keep that all on one line buddy :)
[01:54] <uoaphys> not a SD card and card reader
[01:54] <Sal__> sorry VIM, you have any idea?
[01:54] <Bodsda> I get this error when trying to watch a streaming video through firefox -- The playback of this movie requires a Microsoft Media Server (MMS) protocol source plugin which is not installed.
[01:54] <nickrud> dustin87, trust me, just delete the ubuntu partition.
[01:54] <jrib> assmonger: why don't you just use your user that has sudo privileges?
[01:54] <dustin87> isn't there a program I can put on a USB stick to format it and make it NTFS?
[01:54] <WebcamWonder> uoaphys: That should be simple, stick the memory kehy into your USB, even if Ubuntu complains, hit ok, open up terminal, mount it manually
[01:54] <presshere> dustin87: boot from Windows CD and format partition as NTFS
[01:55] <dipsett> webcamwonder: well technically it is ubuntu related so i thought someone could help me out here, but appantly this channel is filled with a bunch of arrogan people like you who are unwilling to help
[01:55] <assmonger> jrib: well im trying to write some remote management stuff for our servers
[01:55] <nickrud> dustin87, well, trust me is a bit much :) but you don't need to make it ntfs, just make it nothing, blank free disk space
[01:55] <uoaphys> WebcamWonder: ok I did this, now when I try to drag and drop files it says permissions denied
[01:55] <assmonger> jrib: i guess i could NOPASSWD a user
[01:55] <dustin87> no for real nick it doesn't work when I try.  I think it is because I have vista.  The format buttun is grayed out or I wouldn't be here
[01:55] <dustin87> I promise
[01:55] <uoaphys> WebcamWonder: I created a folder called /media/ufd and manually mounted it there in terminal using sudo
[01:55] <_VIM_> Sal__: hmm no idea, I would think it would be a symlink but I'd have to research that one
[01:55] <uoaphys> but when I try to drag and drop files in permissions are denied for writing
[01:55] <WebcamWonder> dipsett: It is not arrogance if the question you are asking is not related to the topic, nor the channel. No one over here uses Arch (suppositively), and you can't expect someone to help you here if they don't use it/have used it
[01:55] <jose> hola muchachos como estan esta noche espero bien aqui difrutando de ubuntu
[01:56] <_VIM_> !es | jose
[01:56] <uoaphys> so i sudo chmod 777 the folder still didn't work
[01:56] <WebcamWonder> !volunteer | dipsett
[01:56] <meoblast001> anyone here use inspircd?
[01:56] <uoaphys> so i sudo copied files there at command line and it worked
[01:56] <M1DLG> vista - a good reason to slit one wrists.
[01:56] <uoaphys> but I can't drag and drop files to it
[01:56] <kinja-sheep> Huufarted: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne (Under Wireless Modules?)
[01:56] <uoaphys> so can you help me get the permissions fixed on this usb flash drive that I had to manually mount?
[01:56] <nickrud> dustin87, I have vista, and have gone through this. Use the Live CD, run  gparted   from there, and delete the partition that ubuntu is on. Vista will find the blank space
[01:56] <tuxtox> Hi!  I have installed the "netathw" driver through ndiswrapper.  it says the hardware is present but i still dont see any wireless.  I know that there is a network, and I just had it working until the reinstall this morning.  whats next?
[01:57] <_VIM_> WebcamWonder: don't let him get to you, what he said is not true anyways :)
[01:57] <assmonger> jrib: but do you know if there's any way to just make an alias for the user?
[01:57] <jrib> assmonger: no, I don't know
[01:57] <Huufarted> kinja-sheep, that's the one.  I use the wireless a lot streaming HD videos and if that's not considered heavy traffic, then I don't know what is
[01:57] <tuxtox> btw every time i install a new driver the ndiswrapper hangs.
[01:57] <dustin87> gparted?
[01:57] <WebcamWonder> _VIM_: hmm, thanks :)
[01:57] <dustin87> is that a command?
[01:57] <assmonger> jrib: k thx
[01:57] <Huufarted> kinja-sheep, I am getting you the good link for the download now.
[01:57] <dustin87> or can I add a NTFS partition from here? and leave ubuntu?
[01:58] <nickrud> dustin87, yes, run   gksu gparted
[01:58] <_VIM_> WebcamWonder: and I think it's !attitude :)
[01:58] <kinja-sheep> Huufarted: I tried this before. It didn't work.  And it happens to mess up the wired networking too.  I have to resort back to linux-general-driver-9 (the older one). I don't know how I can go back to 11.  I purged it and reinstall it but it's still same.
[01:58] <presshere> dustin87: yes, you can, use live CD, format Ubuntu partition with fdisk
[01:58] <Huufarted> kinja-sheep, the one you're talking about isn't the link that I'm finding
[01:58] <WebcamWonder> _VIM_: Ah, nice. Usually, I take a blink chance at the factoids, and they work out pretty well :d
[01:59] <_VIM_> hehe
[01:59] <Huufarted> kinja-sheep, give me a few and try this, but let me get this link.
[01:59] <kinja-sheep> Huufarted: Okay.
[01:59] <dustin87> fdisk?
[01:59] <dustin87> from DOS or ubuntu?
[01:59] <dustin87> or the Windows CD?
[01:59] <presshere> dustin87: Ubuntu
[01:59] <dustin87> ok how do I get to fdisk from ubuntu to make a NTFS file system or a new partition?
[02:00] <tuxtox> Hi!  I have installed the "netathw" driver through ndiswrapper.  it says the hardware is present but i still dont see any wireless.  I know that there is a network, and I just had it working until the reinstall this morning.  whats next?  also everytime i install a new driver through ndiswrapper it will hang, and I have to force quit it.  and when i open it again the driver is there.
[02:00] <WebcamWonder> dustin87: Do you have the LiveCD lying around?
[02:00] <dustin87> are u talking about the Windows CD or ubunu?
[02:00] <dustin87> can I run it from here?
[02:00] <WebcamWonder> dustin87: Ubuntu LiveCD
[02:00] <dustin87> Yeah I have it here
[02:00] <uoaphys> Hi, I had to manually mount my USB flash drive into /Media/ufd and now permissions are messed up so I have to sudo every time I want to copy files to it. How do I get my regular user to be able to drag and drop files to this mount point?
[02:00] <WebcamWonder> dustin87: Put that in, boot from LiveCD, from there you can use gparted to pretty much do anything you want with your partitions
[02:01] <dustin87> ok what format do I use that way it will install Vista cuz when I try it says it has to be NTFS and won't let me go further installing vista
[02:01] <dustin87> or let me format
[02:01] <dustin87> from vista cd
[02:01] <mrwes> uoaphys, who owns the mount point?
[02:01] <Mike94287> I just got rid of Windows on my computer and now I'm running Ubuntu. I want to run Ubuntu on my other computer as well, however I want to be able to login to the same user account on each computer. How would I go about doing that?
[02:01] <kinja-sheep> mrwes: The chance is that it's root. :)
[02:02] <WebcamWonder> dustin87: You can erase your entire partition/resize if you want from liveCD
[02:02] <mrwes> kinja-sheep, nod
[02:02] <presshere> dustin87: fotgot about vista, first you need to uninstal ubuntu
[02:02] <dustin87> ok but what file system do I use because it doesn't have NTFS from the Ubuntu cd
[02:02] <uoaphys> mrwes: root
[02:02] <uoaphys> i chmod it to 777 thought
[02:02] <mrwes> uoaphys, from a terminal type sudo chown YOURUSERNAME:YOURUSERNAME /Media/ufd
[02:03] <presshere> dustin87: there is NTFS too
[02:03] <dustin87> ntfs is not on options
[02:03] <mrwes> uoaphys, you need to change the owership too
[02:03] <uoaphys> mrwes:  thanks
[02:03] <WebcamWonder> dustin87: Just boot up from the LiveCD and use gparted
[02:03] <uoaphys> mrwes: can you help me figure out why ubuntu won't mount it automatically and is throwing this error? have you ever heard of this on a usb flash disk?
[02:03] <WebcamWonder> !gparted | dustin87
[02:03] <dustin87> r u talking about ntfs being on ubuntu live cd
[02:03] <geeksquad> how do you view the folder on a site whith html pages
[02:03] <presshere> dustin87: what tool are you using to format?
[02:04] <dustin87> i don't know how to get to fdisk
[02:04] <dustin87> just plz tell me what to do and i will write it down
[02:04] <mrwes> uoaphys, nope, I plug mine in and they mount
[02:04] <presshere> dustin87: use bash, comand line
[02:05] <tuxtox> Hi!  I have installed the "netathw" driver through ndiswrapper.  it says the hardware is present but i still dont see any wireless.  I know that there is a network, and I just had it working until the reinstall this morning.  whats next?  also everytime i install a new driver through ndiswrapper it will hang, and I have to force quit it.  and when i open it again the driver is there.
[02:05] <dustin87> so i just get to bash and type is fdisk
[02:05] <dustin87> how do i get to bash?
[02:05] <Huufarted> kinja-sheep: check this out:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=964836
[02:05] <dustin87> or fdisk
[02:05] <gotgnu> Hi can you overclock the cpu in ubuntu ???
[02:05] <dixond> well, now I understand why email encryption isn't ubiquitous.
[02:05] <presshere> ustin87: Applications -> Accesories -> Terminal
[02:05] <sant82> have a question, i try to compile camera driver, but i get an error "[!] Kernel compiler and gcc seem to be different versions.", i see that Kernel compiler: gcc version 4.3.2 (Ubuntu 4.3.2-1ubuntu11), gcc version: Configurado con: ../src/configure -v --with-pkgversion='Ubuntu 4.3.2-1ubuntu12' ; ubuntu11 and ubuntu12, how i can downgrade gcc version to compile this driver?
[02:05] <Huufarted> kinja-sheep: Download the ath5k drivers and follow that 4-line install procedure.  Once you restart your PC afterwards (can probably just log out/in, but I'd reboot) you should have your wireless up and running
[02:06] <dixond> I'm no dummy to encryption but even I can't figure it out for any of Kmail, Thunderbird, or Evolution. Awesome.
[02:06] <dustin87> Usage: fdisk [-l] [-b SSZ] [-u] device
[02:06] <gotgnu> I have a friend that is a big overclocking geek and would switch to linux if he could overclock stuff like the cpu .
[02:06] <dustin87> E.g.: fdisk /dev/hda  (for the first IDE disk)
[02:06] <dustin87>   or: fdisk /dev/sdc  (for the third SCSI disk)
[02:06] <dustin87>   or: fdisk /dev/eda  (for the first PS/2 ESDI drive)
[02:06] <dustin87>   or: fdisk /dev/rd/c0d0  or: fdisk /dev/ida/c0d0  (for RAID devices)
[02:06] <FloodBot1> dustin87: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:06] <dustin87> that is what it tells me
[02:06] <kinja-sheep> Huufarted: Okay.  I'll try it.  I'll let you know. :)
[02:06] <dustin87> sorry
[02:06] <dustin87> i have no idea what that says
[02:07] <Huufarted> kinja-sheep: I have the same wireless chipset and it ran like a charm for me
[02:07] <tritium> gotgnu: overclocking is not OS-dependent
[02:07] <presshere> dustin87: please read the man pages, just write: man fdisk
[02:07] <geeksquad> means you were banned by floodbot and unbanned really fast
[02:07] <dustin87> which one is my hard drive?
[02:08] <geeksquad> ow old is your computer
[02:08] <gotgnu> tritium: what but how would you do it in ubuntu
[02:08] <Joker_-_> anyone knows whats the default length of live-tv buffer in mythv (mythbuntu)?
[02:08] <tritium> gotgnu: you don't set it up in the OS at all.  You'd set it up in the BIOS.
[02:09] <Joker_-_> as in: how much time do I have if I pause the live-tv to still be able to watch my show?
[02:09] <gotgnu> tritium: do you need to install a different bois ?
[02:10] <Joker_-_> is there any buffer length or does it records till the drive is full or something?
[02:10] <Zadkiel> Ok, hopefully ubuntu wont freeze on me... Again.
[02:10] <Izinucs> gotgnu: your bios is your bios.. if you have one that allows overclocking then great.. if it doesn't then you'll have to buy a new motherboard that is designed for overclocking
[02:11] <johnfinch> I'm trying to get Audacity to run on Intrepid, I've been having a lot of problems with it freezing when I try to hit record - I am considering running it through WINE but I'm not familiar with it. Will it take a lot of RAM to run WINE and Audacity?
[02:11] <tritium> gotgnu: no, but depending on your motherboard's BIOS, you may or may not be able to
[02:11] <Zadkiel> anyone konw if the nvidia drivers have issues causing a lock up?
[02:11] <gotgnu> tritium: cool thanks for the info
[02:12] <Mike94287> I just got rid of Windows on my computer and now I'm running Ubuntu. I want to run Ubuntu on my other computer as well, however I want to be able to login to the same user account on each computer. How would I go about doing that?
[02:12] <tritium> gotgnu: no problem.

[02:12] <gotgnu> when little windows pop up it locks up
[02:13] <Zadkiel> gotgnu: have any luck fixing the problem? maybe I should revert to older drivers
[02:14] <Izinucs> Zadkiel: no lockup issues with nvidia drivers but certainly really SLOW performance with some of them on chipsets that shouldn't be slow.. what have  you got?
[02:14] <gotgnu> Zadkiel: I only have the problem with opengl on so i just use ubuntu without the special effects

[02:16] <chinguy> hi goof morning
[02:16] <Levandia> Hello. Thunderbird says that it cannot open while its process is already opened but I closed all instances of Thunderbird and it still won't open. Any suggestions?
[02:17] <sant82> have a question, i try to compile camera driver, but i get an error "[!] Kernel compiler and gcc seem to be different versions.", i see that Kernel compiler: gcc version 4.3.2 (Ubuntu 4.3.2-1ubuntu11), gcc version: Configurado con: ../src/configure -v --with-pkgversion='Ubuntu 4.3.2-1ubuntu12' ; ubuntu11 and ubuntu12, how i can downgrade gcc version to compile this driver?, i can't got with synaptic, not appears..
[02:17] <glenrock> Levandia: from a terminal run:   ps -ef|grep thund
[02:17] <chinguy> I think the net is very worse
[02:17] <glenrock> glenrock: any results
[02:17] <Izinucs> Levandia: check system monitor for a running thunderbird process or go to terminal and type "top" to see the same.
[02:17] <glenrock> Levandia: any results?
[02:17] <Mike94287> Can someone please help me? I just got rid of Windows on my computer and now I'm running Ubuntu only. I want to run Ubuntu on my other computer as well, however I want to be able to login to the same user account on each computer. How would I go about doing that?
[02:17] <Levandia> glenrock: none.
[02:17] <Levandia> Izinucs: none.
[02:17] <glenrock> uh oh
[02:17] <Levandia> I'm telling you, the process is not open.
[02:17] <tuxtox> Ok, I have a  "Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. Unknown device 002a (rev 01)"  and i installed netathw driver through ndiswrapper.  ndiswrapper says the hardware is present, but I still dont have a wireless option.  what do i do?
[02:18] <Levandia> glenrock: that sounds bad.
[02:18] <glenrock> Levandia: i don't know a fix for that.  if it were my box, id probably mv .mozilla-thunderbird mozilla-thunderbird.old and then reconfigure thunderbird, but someone might have a better idea
[02:18] <Izinucs> tuxtox: depending on which atheros.. you could uninstall what you installed and install the ubuntu restricted extras which has several atheros drivers ..
[02:19] <Levandia> glenrock: perhaps I should ask on Mozilla's IRC.
[02:19] <tuxtox> lzinucs what is the terminal command for that?
[02:19] <glenrock> Levandia: yep, might find some help there
[02:19] <Iceman_B^Ltop> Mike94287: are the machines networked ?
[02:19] <kinja-sheep> Mike94287: Just make a user account?  If you're talking about sync-ing everything.  That's not likely.  However, you should use Unison as to sync the said folders.  However.  Everything in ~/ (your profile directory) is full of configuration/preferences.
[02:19] <Levandia> glenrock: thanks. :)
[02:19] <Mike94287> Iceman_B^Ltop: Yes
[02:19] <seen_> Levandia, thunderbird probably left a some *.lock file.
[02:20] <Iceman_B^Ltop> Mike94287: go with what kinja-sheep said
[02:20] <Levandia> seen_: what do you suggest to do?
[02:20] <Iceman_B^Ltop> also, on that topic, there is no substitute for something like a active directory and roaming profiles ?
[02:21] <krak> q
[02:21] <krak> q
[02:21] <seen_> Find it, and delete it. it probably located somewhere in ~/.mozilla or ~/.thunderbird or similar directory
[02:21] <krak> quit
[02:21] <presshere> Levandia: it is the first time you use Thunderbird?
[02:21] <Levandia> No, presshere.
[02:22] <presshere> Levandia: search in procceses list if there is any Thunderbirds jobs
[02:22] <kinja-sheep> Iceman_B^Ltop: Not that I know of.  I'm not hardcore linux user. :)
[02:22] <mnop_neal> greetings.  I seems to have painted myself into a corner.  Installed 8.10 64 bit on a new HP pavilion notebook and it boots but no ethernet no wireless.  Various forums articles suggest downloading backports and using earlier driver.  However, I cannot use apt-get cause I ain't got no network.   I do have my primary linux box, which is Fedora Core 10.   Suggestions.
[02:22] <Thomas> hi
[02:22] <Levandia> presshere: no, again.
[02:22] <Levandia> There aren't any.
[02:22] <presshere> Levandia: hm...try to reboot the system...
[02:22] <Levandia> presshere: did so.
[02:23] <Levandia> This problem has been around for a while.
[02:23] <Mike94287> kinja-sheep: And that would work for multiple user accounts correct, like if my sister also had a user account that she would like to access through either computer?
[02:24] <Levandia> So nobody has any advice?
[02:24] <presshere> Levandia: it is very strange, maybe an reinstalation may help to resolve
[02:25] <kinja-sheep> Mike94287: Not exactly. You'll have to install unison-gtk and sync the files/folder.  At prompt, it'll display the list of files/folders that will be sync between two machines at a time. You'll have to play with Unison to see what I mean by that.
[02:26] <kinja-sheep> Mike94287: Supposed I work on a file.  And I goes to my notebook.  I realized the file isn't updated.  I then run Unison and start syncing everything (new, last modified date, etc).  Then I work with the file.  It's possible that you set it up in session to auto-sync everything at login (rsync, I believe).
[02:26] <sant82> anyone can help me? http://paste.ubuntu.com/122141/
[02:26] <Mike94287> kinja-sheep: Okay I'll test it out, thanks.
[02:27] <mikewu> Levandia: this might solve your problem http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use
[02:27] <seen_> Levandia, lsof utility might tell whether thunderbird left files open
[02:33] <kinja-sheep> Huufarted: It's not working.  Does the Wifi LED blinks for you?
[02:34] <kinja-sheep> Huufarted: Bbl.
[02:35] <MTecknology> How do I have a list created in lists.ubuntu.com?
[02:37] <Levandia> How do I mount a partition on startup?
[02:37] <x_> Levandia put it in /etc/fstab
[02:37] <DinkyDogg_> Levandia, put it in your /etc/fstab
[02:37] <x_> ahahahahah
[02:37] <DinkyDogg_> jinx
[02:37] <x_> you owe me a beer
[02:37] <DinkyDogg_> haha
[02:37] <presshere> Levandia: add it in /etc/fstab
[02:37] <DinkyDogg_> late to the party presshere
[02:38] <redvamp128> Huufarted:  I got a suggestion-- may sound strange-- but try (since one guy said his worked) look in your menu.lst see if there are any other kernels - if you have some other ones then try booting them to see if the wireless works with those. (you can comment out the line hidemenu with a #hidemenu) so that grub will display them.
[02:38] <x_> ahaha too late
[02:38] <Levandia> Levandia: put it in /etc/fstab -- oh wait.

[02:42] <mnop_neal> SO, to fix my busted ethernet on 8.10 I'm supposed to "sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid".  But since my ethernet is busted I can only get pieces on another non-linux box.   Which doesn't have apt-get.   How to located the pieces?
[02:43] <Izinucs> x_: yes you can do it that way or if you've installed a gui you can open System>Admin>Synaptic and search for it and uninstall from there.
[02:43] <redvamp128> mnop_neal:  you can try at packages Ubuntu -- Ubuntu Packages Search <http://packages.ubuntu.com/>  which will download a .deb file
[02:44] <mnop_neal> aha. there's a clue.  Thanks.
[02:44] <x_> Izinucs: will that take it outta my grub.conf to or so i hafta do that my self
[02:44] <matsmats> Hello. Anyone knows how I can switch from LTS to normal releases from the command line?
[02:45] <tritium> matsmats: you'd upgrade from your LTS release to the next release that was made
[02:45] <matsmats> tritium: i'm trying to upgrade heron to ibex but dist-upgrade doesn't seem to know about ibex
[02:46] <matsmats> theres a checkbox in the GUI which allows normal releases to be installed. How can i switch that on command line style?
[02:46] <tritium> !upgrade | matsmats
[02:47] <Levandia> In /etc/fstab, is it safe to replace those damned UUID=blahblah to /dev/sdaX?
[02:47] <Levandia> *with
[02:47] <presshere> Levandia: feel free to try, if any you can make a copy of fstab
[02:47] <tritium> Levandia: no
[02:48] <Levandia> tritium: why not?
[02:48] <presshere> tritium: i had added a partition without UUID and it works
[02:50] <Levandia> So....
[02:50] <UbuTheUbi> my computer is acting up with flash videos plz haelp
[02:50] <eNons3nse> help guys.  i woke up this morning and my computer was frozen.  i had to do a hard shutdown.  now my browsers keep crashing after browsing for like 5 or 10 minutes.  no matter what browser i'm using.
[02:51] <aledge> Levandia: just comment out the UUID lines and replace them with the sdx. The important thing is that if you change where each drive is connected, you won't get the expected behavior
[02:51] <RenatoSilva> I just rm'ed /etc/ppp/chap-secrets, any problem?
[02:51] <Levandia> aledge: luckily I won't be doing that.
[02:51] <tritium> Levandia: you can, but use with caution.  I recommend you read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks
[02:51] <UbuTheUbi> flash videos work fine upon reboot but something gets screwed up going though myspace or whatever then it either stops working or the computer gets buggy
[02:51] <x_> Izinucs: ok so i got this synaptic.... how to i find it in their?
[02:51] <aledge> Levandia: iirc /dev/sdx refers to the drive plugged into the xth port, whereas the UUID label refers to an ID on the media.
[02:52] <Levandia> aledge: absolutely understood.
[02:52] <Levandia> But it's a pain in the arse to parse.
[02:52] <aledge> definitely
[02:52] <RenatoSilva> I just rm'ed /etc/ppp/chap-secrets, any problem?
[02:53] <UbuTheUbi> why is flash being a boo boo head on my computer? is it some conflict issue? I remember fixing it in 8.04 or something but I forget what i did and it took me liek 2 weeks
[02:53] <RenatoSilva> Anyone please paste me yours
[02:53] <UbuTheUbi> i has 8.10
[02:53] <scootbzh> hi
[02:54] <UbuTheUbi> like it works for a bit then it will stop working the pause button will show up first and if i click it it will show play but do nothing.. it just loads and sits there
[02:54] <UbuTheUbi> if i reboot it works fine.. I cant figure out whats triggering the bug cause it seems to just happen at random
[02:55] <scootbzh> my root account is expired on my hardy servers. I'd like to set them with "never" values (in order to re-activate crons). Do you know how too achieve that ?
[02:55] <UbuTheUbi> ; ( nobody has haelp
[02:56] <tritium> scootbzh: the root account is locked by default.  It's not expired.
[02:56] <crispycream> yeah he's right
[02:57] <UbuTheUbi> my computer mae be taken over byt virus?
[02:57] <scootbzh> tritium : actually, my cron.log contains that : User account has expired
[02:57] <UbuTheUbi> it acting real buggy with firefox 3
[02:57] <scootbzh> and chage -l root indicates me : Account expires						: jan 02, 1970
[02:57] <Cyntek> What's a good pc to linux File transfer software to use. Looking for a quick  file copy to ubuntu server from a windows pc.
[02:57] <tacomuncher> anyone here know anything about nvclock...the guys on the nvclock chan are all afk
[02:58] <scootbzh> on my Intrepid, chage -l root indicate "never"..
[02:58] <redvamp128> UbuTheUbi:  I don't think it is a virus- When I ran Ibex I had issues with flash 10 so I uninstalled it and installed the version from hardy-- flash version 9
[02:58] <UbuTheUbi> let me trie that
[02:59] <paragonc> where can i find info on forcing ubuntu to connect to a wifi network on startup?
[02:59] <redvamp128> UbuTheUbi:  You unistall from Synaptic package manger and grab this version Ubuntu -- Details of package flashplugin-nonfree in hardy <http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/web/flashplugin-nonfree>
[02:59] <tacomuncher> sigh...then can anyone reccommend a good overclocking program for linux...i have a nvida card and amd processor
[02:59] <mikewu> scootbzh: try sudo chage -E-1 root
[03:00] <redvamp128> UbuTheUbi:  that fixed me up -- but I had other issues with Intrepid so I put in another drive and installed Hardy.
[03:00] <tacomuncher> anyone :)
[03:00] <mikeee> UbuTheUb reinstall firefox
[03:01] <mankash> I have etheros wifi card. how to configure it
[03:01] <UbuTheUbi> Uhh im confused about how to install flash 9 thro snaptic
[03:01] <x_> wats the options for apt-get to search the installed moduals?
[03:01] <tacomuncher> sigh...then can anyone reccommend a good overclocking program for linux...
[03:01] <UbuTheUbi> r you saying i haev to switch from intrepid to hard?
[03:02] <redvamp128> UbuTheUbi:  It won't be listed - you have to grab the deb from here -- Ubuntu -- Details of package flashplugin-nonfree in hardy <http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/web/flashplugin-nonfree>
[03:02] <mikewu> tacomuncher: I haven't tried it but search for nvclock
[03:02] <tacomuncher> yeah
[03:02] <UbuTheUbi> oh
[03:02] <tacomuncher> thats what ive been trying
[03:02] <Levandia> UbuTheUbi: that's not what he's saying. :)
[03:02] <tacomuncher> but it seems whenver i set the clock higher...they reset
[03:02] <Levandia> Your system will be Intrepid but your flash will be from Hardy.
[03:02] <redvamp128> UbuTheUbi:  You just use synaptic package manager to uninstall version 10 and grab the version 9 from that link above.
[03:02] <tacomuncher> im in sudo and all...still gettin no noticeable results
[03:03] <UbuTheUbi> could i just switch from intrepid to hard?
[03:03] <tritium> tacomuncher: nvclock is only for overclocking your nVidia GPU, not your CPU
[03:03] <UbuTheUbi> cause intrepid be messing up more
[03:04] <tacomuncher> yeah...i want something that does both...owell off to google i spose :)
[03:04] <UbuTheUbi> POS Vaio bout to be thrown out window of 5th story
[03:04] <tritium> UbuTheUbi: there is no supported downgrade path
[03:04] <scootbzh> mikewu : ca marche.. (note que je suis un boulet, c'est écrit dans le man.. je pensais avoir regardé...) merci bien !
[03:04] <innociv> is there an easy way to ban all the kproxy.com ips?  there isnt' a netblock.. they're just like random
[03:04] <redvamp128> UbuTheUbi:  No need to do that-- I was just saying that fixed my flash issue but I ran into other issues with it --- so it was not for me-- but just remember after installing the flash 9 you just have to close firefox and resart it.
[03:04] <redvamp128> !fr | scootbzh

[03:10] <redvamp128> niyado:  you could try unistalling gnash-- then make sure you have multiverse enabled then flash should then show up in your synpatic package manger.
[03:10] <niyado> how i make sure that i have multiverse enable?
[03:10] <redvamp128> niyado:  system- software sources...
[03:11] <Elda> Okey.... I missed it before as I was in class but what is the thing I black list to kill the system beep?
[03:12] <megan> can anyone help me out with a hardware hack?
[03:12] <mrpockets> no
[03:12] <mrpockets> but out of curiosity, what is it?
[03:12] <mikewu> Elda: blacklist pcspkr in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[03:12] <redvamp128> niyado:  if that flash does not want to work for you then you can install the 9 version from here (just make sure to uninstall the 10 using synaptic package manger) Ubuntu -- Details of package flashplugin-nonfree in hardy <http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/web/flashplugin-nonfree>
[03:13] <Elda> mikewu ty :)
[03:13] <tritium> Elda: or just disable the console beep in your terminal settings

[03:13] <Levandia> I changed the mount point for a drive and now I can't unchange -- the tab is gone when unmounted.
[03:14] <Levandia> What do I do?
[03:14] <megan> mrpockets: why no? i've got wireless at my place, i need to turn it into cable somehow so that i can get a solid connection for my online phone via asterisk
[03:14] <Elda> meh bbl :>
[03:14] <tritium> Levandia: I warned you to read up on UUID before you try it.
[03:14] <mrpockets> megan, cat5?
[03:14] <niyado> i have the multiverse enable... and have gnash installed
[03:15] <redvamp128> niyado:  unistall gnash
[03:15] <megan> mrpockets: not sure, ive been told i can use a linksys wrt52g but im unsure how
[03:15] <Levandia> tritium: lucky for me, what I did had nothing to do with any of the UUID drives.
[03:15] <mrpockets> you can
[03:15] <Daft_Punk> megan, why did he say no? this is not a channel to discuss hacking or illegal activities
[03:15] <mrpockets> so you've got wireless, just no access to the router 'eh?
[03:15] <mrpockets> IE, its not YOUR wireless...
[03:15] <redvamp128> niyado:  uninstall gnash -- because it will conflict with the Adobe version of Flash-
[03:15] <niyado> how i unistall gnash? tht is what i want to do
[03:15] <niyado> ooo
[03:15] <lose_the_grimm> Is there a way I can get the cupsys that comes with Intrepid on Dapper? I need the pdftopdf cups filter.
[03:15] <niyado> ok lets c thx
[03:15] <megan> no no its my landlords, it comes with my rent
[03:16] <Sal__> I'm attempting to link /var/www in /home/sal, and it links fine if i'm cd'ing using ssh, but if i connect via FTP and try to view the directory link, it attempts to download it like a file... Does anyone know if there's anyway around this to get this working?
[03:16] <niyado> how i uninstall it
[03:16] <Daft_Punk> megan, to get a wired connection to the router, you have to ask your landlord
[03:16] <redvamp128> niyado:  system- administration -- synaptic package manger- then installed on the left-- then find the gnash there and right click choose uninstall or remove
[03:16] <niyado> oh ok
[03:17] <megan> mrpockets: i'm legally accessing it, hes just a prick so i dont want to bug him

[03:17] <ubuser> Hello

[03:18] <ubuser> I need help installing ubuntu
[03:19] <Daft_Punk> megan, if his wireless router is providing you the internet and you want a WIRED connection, you must use cat5 or cat6e cabling and wire it from your own router/hub/switch to his wireless router
[03:19] <luddite> hello all: my internet died whilst trying to get virtualbox (winXP) networking speaking to my 8.10 host.
[03:19] <tritium> megan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/ShareEthernetConnectionThroughWireless
[03:19] <ubuser> I'm using a notebook and it has the CD rom broken
[03:19] <littledragon> Anybody able to help me with a software installation?
[03:19] <Iceman_B^Ltop> how can I find ALL instances of a "settings.json" file in my entire filesystem ?
[03:19] <Daft_Punk> tritium, she said she wanted "wired" so it is more stable for her internet phone connection
[03:20] <luddite> details here http://paste.ubuntu.com/122161/
[03:20] <narcarsiss> trying to mount hdd known as hdd1 i try sudo  mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hdd1 /media/160 tthen i get ntfs-3g-mount: failed to access mountpoint /media/160: No such file or directory
[03:20] <tritium> Daft_Punk: yeah, looks like that's the reverse of what she wants...
[03:20] <ubuser> I was wondering if i can make it bootable for a pen drive
[03:20] <ubuser> Ideas?
[03:20] <luddite> narcarsiss : you dont have the folder called 160 do you?
[03:21] <narcarsiss> nope :(
[03:21] <vauge> ubuser: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[03:21] <narcarsiss> do i have to sudo mkdir 160?
[03:21] <Dillizar> when my friends put their usb in my pc, after that they say i have put few trojans for windows? how is this possible? can i be a host of windows trojans ?
[03:21] <Daft_Punk> Dillizar, no
[03:22] <luddite> yes create it then su it
[03:22] <Dillizar> Daft_Punk, so the trojans cant be from my pc
[03:22] <Daft_Punk> Dillizar, not if you are using linux
[03:22] <mikewu> Iceman_B^Ltop: try locate "settings.json" if that doesn't work sudo find / -name "settings.json"
[03:22] <Dillizar> Daft_Punk, but i  am using wine too?
[03:23] <robbmunson> Dillizar, that would do it....wine would allow them to sneak in.
[03:23] <Iceman_B^Ltop> thanks mikewu
[03:23] <Sal__> i'm trying to do "mount --bind /var/www www" but I keep getting: mount: mount point www does not exist
[03:23] <Dillizar> robbmunson, so i have windows trojans but they cant do anything right
[03:23] <narcarsiss> luddite Cheers mate new there was a step i missed
[03:23] <Daft_Punk> robbmunson, yeah but wine is it's own virtual file system its not like you will download trojans to wine if you visit a bad website with firefox...
[03:23] <Sal__> can anyone guide me here?
[03:24] <robbmunson> Daft_Punk, also true...
[03:24] <robbmunson> Dillizar, sticky situation....yes and no.....
[03:24] <Daft_Punk> Dillizar, i HIGHLY doubt a virus came from your computer... chances are they got it some other way and they chalked it up to coincidence
[03:24] <Dillizar> but if some one gives me a trojan via usb i can have it
[03:24] <Daft_Punk> Dillizar, no, linux doesnt have viruses
[03:25] <Izinucs> Sal__: perhaps if you mkdir /media/www then mount --bind /var/www /media/www it would make a difference.
[03:25] <Dillizar> Daft_Punk, yes it does :)
[03:25] <robbmunson> Dillizar, you can "posess" it....but not run it
[03:25] <Sal__> lzinucs i actually just tried that
[03:25] <Sal__> and it did mount, but when i do a ls on the directory its empty?
[03:25] <Sal__> yet ls /var/www clearly shows files
[03:25] <robbmunson> Dillizar, honestly? ive not seen one in linux in 10 years...but that i believe is beyond the scope of this conversation.
[03:25] <kinja-sheep> I wonder if it's possible to treat my laptop as a gigantic memory stick if I were to use a USB cable? o.O
[03:25] <Daft_Punk> Dillizar, having a virus means it is currently active on the system you can still have the base of the virus on your file system but if you dont run it as SUDO which you shouldnt do to most programs ANYWAY u dont have the virus
[03:25] <luddite> narcarsiss : no probs mate
[03:26] <Iceman_B^Ltop> does cp overwrite a file if it already exists ?
[03:26] <Izinucs> Sal__: I"m not really sure what the --bind does.. so I have a hard time commenting on that.. what are you trying to accomplish with it?
[03:26] <luddite> can someone help me with a networking issue please
[03:26] <kinja-sheep> Iceman_B^Ltop: Try cp --help
[03:26] <Dillizar> robbmunson, is there any way i can remove them, by insyalling AVP with wine??
[03:26] <Daft_Punk> Iceman_B^Ltop, i dont believe so, unless you have the right switch like -R (try the cp man pages) cp --help
[03:26] <robbmunson> !virus
[03:26] <narcarsiss> dillizar: the whole reason to go to linux is to escape the spyware and trojans etc... you cant get them and they cant hurt your computer but on a rare cercumstance you can have them on your computer... but they wont do nothing try installing clam antivirus to be sure you are not giving the to your friends.
[03:26] <kinja-sheep> Iceman_B^Ltop: You should add an alias for cp to cp -i (interactive).
[03:26] <luddite> Iceman_B^Ltop yes if you are sudo cp -R FILENAME
[03:26] <kantxx> hey all
[03:27] <robbmunson> crap, thought it was gonna give you a link other than that.
[03:27] <kantxx> how can i run an app w/ sudo but without the password?
[03:27] <tritium> narcarsiss: that's *one* reason to use linux.  There are many more.
[03:27] <Izinucs> Iceman_B^Ltop: shouldn't without notification unless you're using the "force" switch.
[03:27] <DVA5912> did dccm move?
[03:27] <Dillizar> but i have windows viruses and i want to get rid of them
[03:27] <kantxx> specifically moto4lin
[03:27] <tritium> Dillizar: I do not believe that you do.
[03:27] <Daft_Punk> Dillizar, as me and robbmunson already said, you could potentially have a virus, but it would do absolutely nothing to your system, also, wine is a virtual file system, and windows viruses can not harm you at all, and the chances of you xfering that virus to a friend is literally slim to nothing
[03:27] <Daft_Punk> you 99% do not have a virus
[03:27] <kinja-sheep> Dillizar: Windows viruses are for Windows.  The only con in Vista is that... it's a Vista. :)
[03:28] <blizzle> Dillizar, use clamtk. You may need to run as sudo to update your definitions (or use freshclam).
[03:28] <Izinucs> Dillizar: just reboot and it will go away
[03:28] <Dillizar> k
[03:28] <eyvindur> anyone know if theres an apt-get for coolbits?
[03:28] <Dillizar> thanks dudes :)
[03:28] <narcarsiss> tritium: that is a good point but that was the whole reason i moved over sereral years ago debian 3.1 if i recall
[03:28] <RukusX> Hey has the slow write speed to external USB drives been solved? i still only write at usb 1.1 speeds.. well worse. 1.0Mb/sec. any suggestions? this is agonizing
[03:28] <Izinucs> eyvindur: try ap-cache search coolbit
[03:28] <robbmunson> Dillizar, sure
[03:28] <DVA5912> What is the eqivlent of DCCM
[03:29] <tritium> narcarsiss: it was not my reason, but it is a nice side benefit
[03:29] <kairijuno> anyone know how to screenshot the expo screen in compiz?
[03:29] <DVA5912> !dccm
[03:29] <Dillizar> kairijuno, you can record a video
[03:29] <Izinucs> kairijuno: push print screen
[03:29] <DVA5912> !synce-dccm
[03:29] <zelrikriando> kairijuno, you can do a delayed screenshot with gimp
[03:29] <DVA5912> sudo apt-get install synce-dccm synce-serial librra0-tools   Is that not correct?
[03:29] <zelrikriando> not sure you can hide gimp though
[03:29] <kairijuno> it didn't work with just pressing prtsc
[03:29] <Daft_Punk> tritium, true that, i think the main reason for linux is *free*, great support, open source, more stable out of box
[03:30] <littledragon> Anyone able to help me with how to install neverwinter nights?
[03:30] <luddite> my reason was ease of use but now no internet as its broken. (im on a second pc now)
[03:30] <luddite> i need to remove my br0 connection - any ides how?
[03:30] <kinja-sheep> I wonder if it's possible to treat my laptop as a gigantic memory stick if I were to use a USB cable? And as of ssh, I'm trying to remember the word -- Display:0 something ?
[03:30] <eyvindur> Izinucs: how would i got about doing that
[03:30] <tritium> Daft_Punk: all good reasons.  For me, it allowed to run my engineering apps off the Sun workstations in college remotely in my dorm.  It was a nice convenience.
[03:30] <Izinucs> eyvindur: just like I typed it.. "apt-cache search coolbit"
[03:31] <Dillizar> lol kinja-sheep you cant you need LAN or smt like that
[03:31] <kairijuno> zelrik,...in normal desktop it work, but when in expo it wont
[03:31] <Daft_Punk> kairijuno, try going to the "take screenshot" application and set it for a couple seconds, then go to the screen you want. to find it press ALT+F2 and search screenshot
[03:31] <Daft_Punk> set the timer for like 6 seconds or something then go into expo and wait for it to pop up
[03:31] <kinja-sheep> Dillizar: You don't know.  Do you?  There are thousand of packages out there. And you're concerned about viruses. :)
[03:32] <kairijuno> Daft_Punk,..ok i'll try to find it in synaptic
[03:32] <Daft_Punk> kairijuno, i thought that take-screenshot application was naitive to the OS? hmm
[03:33] <Dillizar> kinja-sheep, its not that, i was laughing in their faces :D bout viruses and they said i gave some to them (well thats what they say) and thats why i feel lil bit week :P
[03:33] <DVA5912> E: Couldn't find package synce-dccm
[03:33] <DVA5912> Is it discontinued?
[03:33] <narcarsiss> hehe yeah. plus the word FREE and SECURITY and STABILITY also helped the miagration
[03:33] <kairijuno> Daft_P,...yes it was there, but I have to manually set a shortcut to keyboard, I'm using Xubuntu 8.10
[03:33] <tritium> DVA5912: please "apt-cache search dccm" to find out for yourself
[03:33] <kinja-sheep> Dillizar: Scan the file for viruses.  See if that's confirmed then yes, you did wrapped a trojan horse as a gift. :)
[03:34] <Daft_Punk> kairijuno, the program is also under accessories in your menu "take screenshot"
[03:34] <Daft_Punk> kairijuno, oh ok
[03:34] <kairijuno> I can't find one with that name
[03:34] <DVA5912> tritium, well what can i use instead if it is
[03:34] <Dillizar> kinja-sheep, f*** them they should install ubuntu not me some AVP :D
[03:35] <Daft_Punk> kairijuno, maybe edit your main menu to see if that option is hidden by default, i think it is
[03:35] <kairijuno> let see....
[03:35] <kinja-sheep> Huufarted: A little update for you.  It worked.  Apparently I still need to dumb down to linux-kernel-9. Is there a way to resort back to linux-kernel-11?  Purging + install doesn't cut it for me.
[03:35] <Daft_Punk> kairijuno, it should be under accessories (not applications) sorry
[03:36] <Dillizar> !lcars
[03:36] <kinja-sheep> Huufarted: Otherwise, I'm fine with it, really.  We all love to be on cutting edge.  It bleed so good. :3
[03:36] <prosx> Guys, I followed this guide:

[03:37] <prosx> However the wireless is VERY slow
[03:37] <FloodBot1> prosx: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:38] <kairijuno> Daft_P,..can't find one
[03:38] <tritium> DVA5912: I'm unfamiliar with dccm
[03:38] <narcarsiss> how to prob system to find system specs?
[03:39] <Daft_Punk> kairijuno, well maybe it might not be in xubuntu? :(
[03:39] <kairijuno> xfce4-screenshooter is there, it work in normal compiz desktop, but won't capture or save clipboard in expo mode
[03:40] <Daft_Punk> kairijuno, well im using 8.1 intrepid (normal ubuntu version) and by default a program called "Take Screenshot" is there, i can search for it with alt+F2 and it will screenshot anything, even compiz stuff and my locked screen
[03:41] <tritium> narcarsiss: several methods, including lshw, lspci, lsusb, inspecting info in /proc, etc.
[03:41] <kairijuno> It work in my previous Xubuntu 8.10 install, but I don't know what is wrong with this one :)
[03:42] <Daft_Punk> well im not sure why you cant find that program, i couldnt see it in synaptic or add/remove so im not too sure
[03:42] <Guest58303> Make sure you have changed the scope

[03:44] <PDG1> I need some opinion... any suggestions on a Bluetooth adapter?
[03:45] <jhonnyboy> Might sound stupid...My Firefox doesn't have the minimize, maximize or close buttons. I can only fix this if i hit f11 twice. Does anyone know of a more permanent fix instead of me having to hit f11 all the time?
[03:45] <kairijuno> Daft_P, thanks.
[03:46] <crdlb> jhonnyboy: yes, you need to disable Workarounds -> Legacy Fullscreen Support in compiz
[03:47] <jhonnyboy> crdlb: I don't think i have compiz. How can i check?
[03:47] <fadumpt> easy check: move your window around
[03:47] <jhonnyboy> k
[03:47] <fadumpt> if it does crazy stuff...then yeah
[03:47] <crdlb> jhonnyboy: it's what provides the visual effects
[03:47] <samrocksc> e17~
[03:47] <crdlb> fadumpt: compiz doesn't force you to use wobbly ... :)
[03:47] <jhonnyboy> crdlb: I have all the extra visual effects off. I only use normal.
[03:47] <fadumpt> i know
[03:48] <fadumpt> it's usually a good indicator though
[03:48] <mozul> anyone want to help me?  I cant get amarok running, it used to and it is complaining about not having a dcopserver running.  What can I do to fix it I have already done the chown fix in the forums and that didnt fix it.
[03:48] <crdlb> jhonnyboy: normal is still compiz, only None isn't
[03:48] <fadumpt> it's usually like a default
[03:48] <jhonnyboy> ah
[03:48] <jhonnyboy> k
[03:48] <paragonc> can you use dhcp and still assign a static IP?
[03:48] <crdlb> fadumpt: only if you use Extra
[03:48] <jhonnyboy> What do i have to disable then for the buttons to come back?
[03:48] <fadumpt> oh...haven't used it in a bit
[03:48] <fadumpt> sorry
[03:48] <Gnea> paragonc: yes, just match it to a mac address in dhcpd.conf
[03:48] <jhonnyboy> crdlb: can  you teach me how to get therE?
[03:48] <jhonnyboy> crdlb: to disable it...
[03:48] <jigp> im trying to install yahoo messenger using package installer.im stock here Error: Dependency is not satisfiable:libglib1.2 ... how to get libglib1.2?
[03:49] <narcarsiss> perferably processors and ram installed
[03:49] <fadumpt> oh you are right, just makes the window movement smoother
[03:49] <jhonnyboy> how can i disable workarounds?
[03:49] <kairijuno> Daft_P, thanks it works now, thanks, added to panel...
[03:49] <paragonc> Gnea: thanks
[03:50] <jhonnyboy> Question: i put compiz on None.
[03:50] <crdlb> jhonnyboy: sec
[03:50] <jhonnyboy> is this the same as normal?
[03:50] <crdlb> no
[03:50] <jhonnyboy> it fixed the buttons
[03:50] <tonyyarusso> jigp: apt-get install libglib1.2ldbl
[03:51] <paragonc> Gnea: where does that live?
[03:51] <Izinucs> jigp: why not use pidgin?
[03:51] <Gnea> paragonc: it depends which dhcp server you installed
[03:51] <paragonc> Gnea: default on ubuntu 8.10
[03:51] <paragonc> looks like dhcp3
[03:52] <paragonc> there's dhclient.conf
[03:52] <Atomic_UE> thonselect p.respax_hostid, ro.idrate_option, ro.rate_option
[03:52] <Atomic_UE> from product p
[03:52] <Atomic_UE> left join rate_option ro on p.idproduct = ro.idproduct

[03:52] <FloodBot1> Atomic_UE: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:52] <Gnea> paragonc: should be in /etc/dhcp3/
[03:52] <Atomic_UE> yeh oops
[03:52] <crdlb> jhonnyboy: gconftool-2 -s /apps/compiz/plugins/workarounds/allscreens/options/legacy_fullscreen false
[03:52] <crdlb> jhonnyboy: then you can put it back on normal if you want
[03:52] <paragonc> that only has dhclient.conf
[03:53] <Gnea> paragonc: then you didn't install dhcp3-server
[03:53] <jhonnyboy> crdlb: What does this do though?
[03:53] <Gnea> paragonc: are you trying to hand out statics on your lan from this machine?
[03:53] <crdlb> jhonnyboy: disable that setting
[03:54] <djyoung4> has anybody heard of cellbuntu
[03:54] <jigp> tonyyarusso : still error.the same error... Izinucs I just want to explore if its possible to install ym in desktop 8.04 :)
[03:54] <crdlb> jhonnyboy: I messed it up though, you need to put ' -t bool' on the end or it won't do anything
[03:54] <jhonnyboy> crdlb: thanks :)

[03:55] <entrooo> How am I able to view my hardware devices?  I'm trying to find out what wireless card I have
[03:55] <jigp> tonnyarusso : I just double click the file and I get that
[03:55] <tonyyarusso> jigp: after you installed it you mean?  That's a bit odd.  (Although, why is it using such an old version?)
[03:55] <tsrk> What does ctrl-T do in the command line?
[03:55] <Joe_CoT> so I installed alsa on ubuntu server. Seemed to work fine, made skype calls fine, etc. Then I restarted. Now alsa refuses to show any devices. How would I figure out what's changed?
[03:55] <djyoung4> hows everybody doing
[03:55] <djyoung4> i need help
[03:56] <fadumpt> tsrk, not a whole lot it seems
[03:56] <tsrk> fadumpt, well, i just wanted to make sure it hasn't actually done anything
[03:56] <tsrk> because i'm copying a lot of important files
[03:56] <tsrk> that i can't afford to lose
[03:56] <tsrk> (i accidently hit ctrl-T while they're copying, (cp is running))
[03:56] <jigp> tonyyarusso : no. I mean im done downloading the libglib and installed it. but when I double click ymessenger_1.0.4_1_i386(2).deb.the error is still the same Error: Dependency is not satisfiable:libglib1.2 ...
[03:56] <fadumpt> if you have stock keyboard shortcut settings, you should be fine
[03:56] <fadumpt> doesn't look like it's set up
[03:57] <saul_> hello all
[03:57] <tonyyarusso> jigp: seems like it's not properly looking for it.
[03:57] <fadumpt> shift+ctrl+T = new tab
[03:57] <tonyyarusso> jigp: See how the dependencies are written - maybe you can just use libglib2.0
[03:57] <crdlb> jigp: does that do anything pidgin can't?
[03:57] <crdlb> tonyyarusso: definitely not
[03:57] <tsrk> fadumpt, i'm more worried about something like ctrl-C
[03:58] <jigp> crdlb : im just exploring if its possible to use ym. :)
[03:58] <tonyyarusso> crdlb: boo
[03:58] <jigp> tonnyarusso : ok ill try download 2.0
[03:58] <tonyyarusso> jigp: apparently the answer is "not easily enough to bother"
[03:58] <crdlb> different API and ABI
[03:58] <tonyyarusso> jigp: don't bother
[03:58] <crdlb> hence the different package name
[03:58] <nickrud> october gnome ftw
[03:58] <tonyyarusso> crdlb: ah, gotcha
[03:58] <fadumpt> tsrk, just stay away from ctrl + c/z/x and you'll be fine
[03:58] <jigp> tonnyarusso : E: Couldn't find package libglib2.0
[03:59] <jigp> tonnyarusso : I use this howto http://blog.suwidi.or.id/2007/12/install-yahoo-messenger-on-ubuntu.html
[03:59] <tsrk> fadumpt, ok, thanks
[03:59] <jigp> tonnyarusso : im stock here 6. user$sudo dpkg -i ymessenger-1.0.4-i386.deb  #installs the package#
[03:59] <crdlb> alien :/
[03:59] <olomonster> hi
[04:00] <nickrud> would libglib1.2-dbg do the job?
[04:01] <crdlb> jigp: yahoo messenger for linux is horribly old, unless it can do some feature that pidgin can't (voice chat or file transfer), and I highly doubt that's the case, it's not going to accomplish anything
[04:01] <tonyyarusso> nickrud: I think the package is looking for a specific package name that doesn't exist anymore, not just the filed (which should be provided by the package I said)
[04:01] <Joe_CoT> ok, so nevermind, this is weirder. In xterm, alsamixer won't show any devices. in a tty, it will
[04:01] <nickrud> yeah, 1.2 is the old unaliased (among other things) version of gtk; it's about time it was put to rest
[04:02] <jigp> nickrud: same error.im don't downloading libglib1.2-dbg Error: Dependency is not satisfiable:libglib1.2 ...
[04:02] <crdlb> nickrud: technically, it's the aliased one, since it lacks antialiasing :P
[04:02] <nickrud> jigp, I think you'd have to use an older version of ubuntu; I know some of them had it
[04:03] <jigp> nickrud : I see okay..
[04:03] <lufis> I've got an inspiron 1420 with integrated intel graphics. I'm trying to use s-video to watch movies from my laptop on my tv. However, I can't seem to configure the tv out correctly. The picture is ghosted and washed out, and colors are really bad.
[04:04] <caprice> i am very new to ubuntu and linux
[04:04] <nickrud> crdlb, although I have to admit that enlightenment and october gnome was an awe inspiring combination at the time, anti-aliasing or not :)
[04:04] <caprice> i have a triangle with an eclamation point
[04:04] <caprice> that says i need to update

[04:14] <Iceman_B^Ltop> unop: should I not use the pkill -9 option?
[04:14] <nickrud> !in | delly
[04:14] <crdlb> Hakume: what is it? broadcom?
[04:14] <zelrikriando> delly, not what ?
[04:14] <caprice> no one has answered yet
[04:15] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud ty
[04:15] <caprice> but i will let you know if they do
[04:15] <nickrud> caprice, did you see the link above, about the bug?
[04:15] <oni-kun> broadcom is ftl
[04:15] <unop> Iceman_B^Ltop, no .. try killing it normally
[04:15] <dkulchenko> unop: sometimes, it's the only option if it does not respond to regular kill
[04:15] <diarrhea> diarrhea
[04:15] <_VIM_> ewww
[04:15] <oni-kun> xD
[04:15] <Jack_Sparrow> diarrhea Please dont
[04:15] <zelrikriando> nickrud, is it indian?
[04:15] <RussM> unop, He said normal kill didn't work?
[04:15] <Hakume> Atheros
[04:15] <dkulchenko> I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I've bought a microphone with built-in noise cancelling, but I can either keep the mic volume down, and not be able to hear myself, or turn it up, and hear the slightest tap on the table. And no fiddling with JACK filters, mic settings, or anything seems to find a compromise. What can I do (other than get another microphone)? Maybe there's a noice cancelling program/filter for Ubuntu?
[04:16] <unop> RussM, he said he used an incomplete process name - off course it wouldn't work
[04:16] <caprice> just got that.  checking it out now
[04:16] <Iceman_B^Ltop> unop: when I use kill <PID> I get nothing
[04:16] <philing> intel pro wireless very slow speeds. worked fine last week. anyone?
[04:16] <Iceman_B^Ltop> that is, nothng hhappens
[04:16] <RussM> unop it sure does, I just tried it.
[04:16] <unop> dkulchenko, no, it's not the only option .. there are other signals to try before SIGKILL  -- like SIGINT, SIGHUP and SIGQUIT
[04:16] <RussM> sleep 39999 & pkill slee
[04:16] <Iceman_B^Ltop> the thing im trying to kill shows up as "ravi     27166  0.0  0.2   3000   600 pts/0    T    04:53   0:00 cat transmission-daemon
[04:16] <lokendra> hi god morning
[04:16] <Iceman_B^Ltop> gah
[04:16] <Iceman_B^Ltop> well, that
[04:16] <Hakume> My wireless card is of the Atheros brand.
[04:16] <crdlb> Hakume: oh, what does 'lspci | grep -i atheros' say?
[04:17] <RussM> unop, [1]+  Terminated      sleep 39999
[04:17] <lokendra> my laptop key board mous not sapot
[04:17] <dkulchenko> Hakume: Atheros is a chipset, not a brand.
[04:17] <cannabis> Hello can any one help me ? I Need a tool to manipulating live linux is
[04:17] <unop> Iceman_B^Ltop,  that process has been 'stopped' .. you need to resume it.
[04:17] <philing> atheros should just work
[04:17] <Hakume> Well....
[04:17] <nickrud> zelrikriando, ?? ;)
[04:17] <dkulchenko> cannabis: isomaster
[04:17] <whitenoise> anyone got an ideer as to why ubuntu won't make noise on youtube and metacafe videos and such? something to do with flash?
[04:17] <Hakume> It isn't working even though it's in use.
[04:17] <bjbum> I'm having trouble with my mouse. when I turn my computer off for maybe 12 hours upon boot my mouse will no longer work. it's detected in xinput, but it does nothing. unplugging and replugging don't do anything either. but if i leave the computer on for a few hours the mouse will all of a sudden start working
[04:17] <mankash> I just tried atheros it is working fine
[04:17] <unop> Iceman_B^Ltop,  kill -18 27166
[04:17] <unop> Iceman_B^Ltop, then kill it normally
[04:17] <cannabis> thx dkilchenko
[04:18]  * oni-kun going crazy
[04:18] <Iceman_B^Ltop> kill -18 seems to have done the trick
[04:18] <diarrhea> is this channel about poop?
[04:18] <dkulchenko> Hakume: atheros support is in the Ubuntu Restricted Modules, which comes by default with every Ubuntu install
[04:18] <evilGUI> Hello, I'm trying to play a HD video, it's in a mkv and for some reason mplayer won't display the subtitles but VLC will.
[04:18] <mankash> getting this error though "wifi0: unknown hardware address type 801
[04:18] <mankash> " with atheros card
[04:18] <Iceman_B^Ltop> what does the -18 switch do ?
[04:18] <mankash> but still working
[04:18] <mrpockets> how do i make a link or shortcut to /mnt on my desktop?
[04:18] <lokendra> plz halp ma
[04:18] <whitenoise> anyone got an idea as to why ubuntu won't make noise on youtube and metacafe videos and such? something to do with flash?
[04:18] <evilGUI> I would just use VLC but it causes the video to lag due to my junky hardware.
[04:18] <diarrhea> -18 is SIGCONT
[04:19] <diarrhea> kill -18 my diarrhea
[04:19] <diarrhea> lol
[04:19] <unop> Iceman_B^Ltop,  kill -l #to list the various signals .. -18 is SIGCONT - used to send the 'resume' or 'continue' signal to a suspended/stopped process
[04:19] <RussM> Iceman_B^Ltop, kill (and pkill, etc.) send signals. Use "kill -l" to see the full set of signals.
[04:19] <dbbolton> did any of the older releases of ubuntu come with a 2.4 kernel?
[04:19] <roadrock> mrpockets: ln -s /mnt/ /home/username/Desktop/
[04:19] <Hakume> I understand that. However, when I go into the network configuration, it isn't part of the list of devices.
[04:19] <Iceman_B^Ltop> alright
[04:19] <gaintsura> is there a package already available for Adobe AIR or is it from their site only?
[04:19] <Iceman_B^Ltop> thanks you 2
[04:19] <crdlb> Hakume: what does that command output?
[04:19] <lokendra> my laptop key board mous not sapot
[04:19] <mrpockets> whats the difference between a symbolic link and a hard link?
[04:20] <lokendra> so plz help me
[04:20] <Hakume> 07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[04:20] <crdlb> dbbolton: no, the very first, 4.10 (warty) had 2.6.8
[04:20] <mankash> ywhat is the prob hakume?
[04:20] <dbbolton> crdlb thanks
[04:20] <caprice> That seemed to fix it.  thank you!!!:)
[04:21] <Anacranom> mrpockets, man ln
[04:21] <Hakume> mankash: Wireless device not working.
[04:21] <unop> mrpockets, a hardlink is just another filename for a file .. think of a room as a file and doors as filename, a room can have many doors .. a symlink is a pointer to a filename, like a signpost to a location (if you will)
[04:21] <crdlb> mrpockets: in short, you can make a hard link and delete the original filename and the file will still exist, do the same with a symlink and you'll just have a dead link
[04:21] <philing> my wireless works but is dog slow. worked last week :(
[04:22] <mrpockets> ah
[04:22] <dkulchenko> mrpockets: a symbolic link is like a shortcut to a file. if you delete it the file remains. a hard link is like having the file in multiple locations on a drive, but the data is only in one place, so if you delete any of them, all of them go away
[04:22] <mrpockets> likewise, if i delete a hard link, can i delete the file which it links to?
[04:22] <mrpockets> got it
[04:22] <mankash> hakime: have you checked system->Administartion->network
[04:22] <mankash> hakume: have you checked system->Administartion->network
[04:22] <mrpockets> nutty concept
[04:22] <crdlb> Hakume: ok, have you installed linux-backports-modules-intrepid ?
[04:22] <unop> dkulchenko, that's incorrect .. if you delete a hardlink .. all the others remain
[04:23] <dkulchenko> unop: then i'm confused
[04:23] <maxime> lol  I just realisez i have no swap disk :P
[04:23] <unop> dkulchenko, indeed.  touch foo;  ln foo bar; rm bar;  ls -ld foo
[04:23] <Hakume> mankash: Yes. crdlb: Linux backports? No I haven't. Would that be a cause of this problem?
[04:23] <crdlb> Hakume: yeah, you need that package to make that particular chipset work
[04:24] <Iceman_B^Ltop> okay
[04:24] <Iceman_B^Ltop> sleeptime
[04:24] <mankash> hakume: what iwconfig shows
[04:24] <unop> mrpockets, if you delete a hardlink .. you only remove the filename .. not the file itself
[04:24] <crdlb> Hakume: once you've installed it, go to the hardware drivers manager: disable the current entry and enable 'support for 5xxx atheros'
[04:24] <dkulchenko> unop: oh... crdlb's explanation got it
[04:24] <unop> mrpockets, all files have one hardlink - the original filename
[04:25] <mrpockets> can you replace the file name if deleted?
[04:25] <S7UMPY> does anyone know how to get flash to work correctly with firefox? i use a 64 bit system, but i upgraded to a 64-bit flash player and youtube is still being dumb. any ideas?
[04:25] <RussM> mrpockets, important concept. You can't make a hard link between two different filesystems. A hard link is really just another directory entry that points to the same disk information. A soft (symbolic) link is really just the path to the original file.
[04:25] <Hakume> Okay then. Cool.
[04:25] <crdlb> mrpockets: you can see the number of hardlinks to a file via 'ls -ld' (or ls -l on the parent directory)
[04:25] <unop> mrpockets, to delete a file -- you must delete all hardlinks that refer to it
[04:25] <Hakume> This may be the solution I've been trying to find for quite some time.
[04:25] <mrpockets> I see
[04:25] <mankash> crdlb: what is linux-backports-modules-intrepid?
[04:26] <mrpockets> unop, is this similar to the concept that once a file is deleted, is still exists until overwritten?
[04:26] <dkulchenko> mrpockets: if you need even more detail, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_link
[04:26] <crdlb> mankash: it contains the ath5k kernel module for atheros wifi
[04:26] <crdlb> mankash: which is better than the madwifi (ath_pci) that intrepid ships
[04:27] <unop> mrpockets, no .. that there has to do with the physical characteristics of the media.  hardlinks work at the filesystem level.
[04:27] <mrpockets> i see
[04:27] <mrpockets> so file exists with one or more hard links.
[04:27] <mankash> crdlb: you mean it is another driver for atheros card
[04:27] <unop> mrpockets, you can overwrite a file .. but then all hardlinks point to the new file contents
[04:27] <bjbum> I'm having trouble with my mouse. when I turn my computer off for maybe 12 hours upon boot my mouse will no longer work. it's detected in xinput, but it does nothing. unplugging and replugging don't do anything either. but if i leave the computer on for a few hours the mouse will all of a sudden start working
[04:27] <unop> mrpockets, exactly
[04:28] <Hakume> ok brb
[04:28] <mrpockets> when all hard links are deleted, then the file only exists in the physical existance?
[04:28] <crdlb> mankash: yes, another driver; it will replace madwifi eventually
[04:28] <unop> mrpockets, well, yes, but as far as the filesystem is concerned .. that file doesn't exist
[04:28] <mrpockets> right
[04:28] <philing> any idea why my Intel PRO Wireless 3945ABG is so w?
[04:29] <philing> slow
[04:29] <mankash> crdlb: I am also using some drive for my atheros card. How to find which one I am using?
[04:29] <adante> howdy, i have a www-data user and an apache user, does apache actually use the www-data user? if so when, and if not then what does www-data do?
[04:29] <crdlb> mankash: lsmod | grep ath
[04:29] <mrpockets> you guys're cool
[04:29] <mrpockets> you're the *cool* linux guys
[04:29] <crdlb> mankash: ath_pci is madwifi, ath5k is ath5k (obviously :>)
[04:29] <philing> no offense but this works one day doesnt another is why i always end up back with Debian :)
[04:30] <Izinucs>  adante yes.. www-data is the group that apache uses ..
[04:30] <unop> adante, www-data is the user that the apache process runs as (by default)
[04:30] <mankash> I have ath_pci, ath_hal
[04:30] <mrpockets> philing, what makes debian appeal more than Ubuntu?
[04:30] <unop> adante, don't know where you got the apache user from -- but that's a non-standard debian/ubuntu user -- maybe it's one you created?
[04:30] <philing> mrpockets, it works.
[04:31] <adante> Izinucs, unop: hm, my apache process runs as apache
[04:31] <mrpockets> lol
[04:31] <crdlb> mankash: what atheros chip is it?
[04:31] <mrpockets> I have no problems with Ubuntu
[04:31] <adante> unop: hummm okay :/
[04:31] <mankash> AR5212
[04:31] <Anacranom> mrpockets,  i want to hang out with the cool kids (let me know if you see any)
[04:31] <benspaulding> I am trying to install some software and it warns me that I am using a different version of gcc than my kernel was built with, (I am using 4.2.4, the kernel was built with 4.2.3). How can I use the old one?
[04:31] <rvn> i want to make the super key not be a modifier, and then force gnome-do to open upon a single press of the super key. i believe the second part can be achieved in gconf-editor, but i am unsure how to do the first. help pls?
[04:31] <philing> mrpockets, works for a short while then breaks.
[04:31] <mrpockets> though we installed it in this super basic class I'm taking, and some guy deleted 3/4 of his password file
[04:31] <crdlb> mankash: same here, I switched to ath5k because it seems to support WPA much better
[04:31] <Guest31274> how do I make a sudo run program(s) via a shell script run nicely with a user run process?  Nice doesn't seem to make the sudo give up the stick to the user land process....any ideas?
[04:31] <mrpockets> i luled at hiom
[04:31] <cannabis> hmm i have see a tool to manipulate live iso but i cant find any more
[04:31] <unop> adante, well, then you (or something else) has changed the default behaviour under debian/ubuntu -- there's nothing wrong with that tho
[04:31] <cannabis> is not isomaster
[04:32] <mrpockets> Anacranom, the guys in #linux over at EfNet seem to think they're pretty friggen cool
[04:32] <unop> Guest31274, have  sudo run nice and so on ..
[04:32] <philing> anyway, maybe i should run this wireless through some more testing so weird
[04:32] <nickrud> benspaulding, export GCC="4.2.3" , or look into update-alternatives --config cc
[04:32] <Izinucs> mrpockets: you can always try ##linux here on freenode
[04:32] <nickrud> benspaulding, erm, export CC="..."
[04:32] <crdlb> mankash: not to mention it's completely open source unlike madwifi (ath_hal is closed source)
[04:32] <unop> Guest31274,  sudo nice -n 10 command
[04:32] <mrpockets> Izinucs, I'm in it. Pretty kick'en guys there too.
[04:32] <adante> unop: righteo, cheers!
[04:32] <benspaulding> nickrud: Cool. Thank you very much.
[04:33] <mrpockets> although they all know a lot more'n I do :-p
[04:33] <Guest31274> I tried NICE -20 and it still preempts the user process
[04:33] <rvn> i want to make the super key not be a modifier, and then force gnome-do to open upon a single press of the super key. i believe the second part can be achieved in gconf-editor, but i am unsure how to do the first. help pls?
[04:33] <Anacranom> thinking and knowing are not the same ;-)
[04:33] <crdlb> Guest31274: you have that backward, 19 is the nicest
[04:33] <Guest31274> ohh...oops
[04:34] <palomer> hello
[04:34] <Hakume> Okay.
[04:34] <palomer> everyone on my screen is a little small; hurting my eyes
[04:34] <palomer> how do I make everything bigger?
[04:34] <Hakume> We have a minor problem...
[04:34] <Hakume> That idea...
[04:35] <Hakume> Wait a second...
[04:35] <Hakume> I have an idea!
[04:35] <unop> !enter | Hakume
[04:35] <rvn> i want to make the super key not be a modifier, and then force gnome-do to open upon a single press of the super key. i believe the second part can be achieved in gconf-editor, but i am unsure how to do the first. help pls?
[04:36] <crdlb> you're going to use up our ellipsis quota ;(
[04:36] <Guest31274> should I do it like:  NICE 10 && taskset -c 2-3 cmdrunningassudo
[04:37] <unop> Guest31274, no.   nice -n 10 taskset  .....
[04:37] <unop> Guest31274, err, with sudo.   sudo nice -n 10 taskset  .....
[04:37] <mankash> madwifi is closed source?
[04:37] <unop> mankash, no
[04:37] <Hakume> My wireless device isn't being recognized.
[04:37] <crdlb> mankash: part of it is, which is why it's in the restricted driver manager
[04:37] <Guest31274> k.  thanks.  don't want to use up those elipses
[04:38] <rvn> i want to make the super key not be a modifier, and then force gnome-do to open upon a single press of the super key. i believe the second part can be achieved in gconf-editor, but i am unsure how to do the first. help pls?
[04:38] <mankash> cdrlb: do you get this error wifi0: unknown hardware address type 801
[04:38] <Guest31274> are we okay on :) and ;) 's
[04:38] <Hakume> It probably works, but in Administration>Network Tools it isn't recognizing the device.
[04:39] <crdlb> mankash: with madwifi? I'm not using that anymore
[04:39] <crdlb> and I didn't look then :)
[04:39] <unop> Guest31274, when used every now and then, yes
[04:39] <Hakume> It's not even on the list of devices.
[04:39] <tommasa> hey all, I'm in the midst of a fresh 8.10 install and I was wondering if anyone could comment on the sensibility of my partitions.  I have  35% for / (10G)  60% for /home (18G) and 3% swap.  Does that make sense?  Should I reserve more space for / ?
[04:39] <mankash> how to use other one
[04:39] <jdfoote1> tommasa: I'm no expert, but that sounds about right to me
[04:39] <crdlb> Hakume: pastebin the output of 'lsmod | grep ath'
[04:40] <jdfoote1> tommasa: You shouldn't need more than 6-8 GB for /
[04:40] <crdlb> mankash: install linux-backports-modules-intrepid, switch the driver in hardware drivers, reboot
[04:41] <mankash> cdrlb: you mean apt-get install  linux-backports-modules-intrepid
[04:41] <tommasa> jdfootel: cool, I would rather resize it to 7 or so, but I worry that I will run out of space to quick... Just need a quick sanity check sometimes.  Apreciate it
[04:42] <crdlb> mankash: yes, if you're using intrepid
[04:42] <mankash> I want to try that
[04:42] <mankash> the how to chnage the driver
[04:42] <Hakume> 'lsmod | grep ath' shows no output.
[04:42] <davit> hey guys ive set up apache on my system but need help accessing localhost from internet
[04:43] <crdlb> Hakume: what's enabled in Hardware Drivers now?
[04:43] <mankash> crdlb: Hakume has drifferent atheros chipset other then AR5212
[04:43] <crdlb> mankash: yes, but it works with ath5k
[04:43] <crdlb> in fact, it _only_ works with ath5k
[04:44] <mankash> may be he has not change the driver to ath5k. I want to know how to change it
[04:44] <mankash> after installing interpri
[04:44] <jdfoote1> tommassa: No prob - I'm sure you'll be fine
[04:45] <Hakume> Support for 5xxx series of Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards and NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver (version 177)
[04:46] <Hakume> Those are the only proprietary drivers that are in use.
[04:46] <davit> hey guys ive set up apache on my system but need help accessing localhost from internet
[04:46] <crdlb> Hakume: did you reboot?
[04:46] <nickrud> davit, two issues: the isp letting port 80 in, and your router forwarding port 80 to your box
[04:47] <Hakume> Yes.
[04:48] <whaboo>  guys i need some help .. in xubuntu how do i change screen resolution? its not under settings
[04:48] <Hakume> whaboo: System>Preferences
[04:48] <crdlb> Hakume: very odd then, what happens if you try to   sudo modprobe ath5k   ?
[04:49] <Hakume> no output.
[04:49] <whaboo> hakume there is no prefrence in Xubuntu :S anyone knows how to change screen resolution in xubuntu?
[04:50] <Hakume> I do, but I'm in Ubuntu atm, not xUbuntu..
[04:50] <crdlb> Hakume: now check iwconfig and the network manager applet
[04:50] <crdlb> whaboo: have you tried #xubuntu ?
[04:50] <lulygomes> #ubuntu-br
[04:50] <whaboo> yes no one is answering my question :S
[04:51] <booksbuggy> whaboo, what's your question?
[04:51] <tommasa> swap should be about 2xRAM... correct?
[04:51] <booksbuggy> tommasa, yes
[04:51] <tommasa> thanks
[04:52] <tsrk> uh
[04:52] <tsrk> with less ram wouldn't you want more swap?
[04:52] <Flannel> tommasa: To a point.  You'll never need more than about 2GB swap (unless you plan on hibernating, and then you need 1x RAM)
[04:52] <ubuntu810> hi guys i can not seem to play a rented DVD can someone help please
[04:52] <booksbuggy> tsrk, well sometimes that'strue
[04:52] <crdlb> whaboo: try Display Settings
[04:52] <nickrud> tsrk, too much swap, and you get excessive swappiness ;)
[04:52] <crdlb> should be in the xfce settings manager
[04:52] <mankash> crdlb:  how to change the driver to interprid?
[04:52] <booksbuggy> tsrk, if you don't have enough disk space swap won't help
[04:52] <Hakume> It works!
[04:53] <tsrk> booksbuggy, but usually ram runs out before disk :P
[04:53] <tommasa> I thought that paging inefficiency was why you shouldn't go past 2x ram...
[04:53] <mrpockets> whats the escape key for a full screen TS client session?
[04:54] <booksbuggy> tsrk, swap space can't be substituted completely with swap because they load slower and may damage i think
[04:54] <booksbuggy> tsrk, i am running this system off 256 rams :P
[04:54] <mankash> hakume: it means ath5k module was not loaded before automatically.
[04:54] <Hakume> Thank you so very much for your assistance.
[04:54] <crdlb> mankash: just switch to the other choice in hardware drivers
[04:54] <Anacranom> mrpockets, have you tried ctrl+alt+d ?
[04:54] <crdlb> you want the one that says '5xxx'
[04:54] <Hakume> I see.
[04:54] <mrpockets> d
[04:54] <mrpockets> or delete?
[04:54] <tsrk> booksbuggy, "swap space can't be substituted completely with swap because they load slower and may damage i think" <-- What?
[04:54] <tsrk> i didn't quite understand that :P
[04:55] <oni-kun> =P
[04:55] <ubuntu810> can someone help with playing rented DVD's please
[04:55] <Hakume> Well, that's all I was going to ask, so goodbye.
[04:55] <booksbuggy> tsrk, normal harddisk is not meant to be used completely for swap
[04:55] <booksbuggy> tsrk, i tried before
[04:55] <crdlb> Hakume: I don't know why it didn't load on boot, but if it fails on your next rebot too, you can use /etc/modules to load ath5k
[04:56] <crdlb> shoudln't be necessary though
[04:56] <haowan> Transmission DHT?
[04:56] <tsrk> booksbuggy, what do you mean completely?
[04:56] <booksbuggy> tsrk, I attempted to make about 2 gb of swap before in windows
[04:56] <booksbuggy> tsrk, it didn't work and i had to reinstall the system
[04:56] <syadow> what will happen if i alway using hibernating ??? and not using shutdown ?
[04:56] <booksbuggy> my harddrive is 500gb
[04:57] <tsrk> booksbuggy, but that was windows
[04:57] <booksbuggy> syadow, normally nothing will happen
[04:57] <haowan> transmission dht ?
[04:57] <tsrk> i have 6gb of swap on one machine and it works fine
[04:57] <booksbuggy> tsrk, well i have been busy with school work so i didn't try ubuntu out yet
[04:57] <tsrk> booksbuggy, oh, i assumed that's what you were talking about considering the channel name :P
[04:58] <booksbuggy> syadow, but your swap space will get filled up
[04:58] <tsrk> btw, the 6gb it assigned using guided partitioning, i didn't choose that much
[04:58] <booksbuggy> tsrk, i haven't used too many of windows lately
[04:58] <booksbuggy> tsrk, nearly all the time i am on ubuntu
[04:58] <chu_> Hi, if I need a printer driver (CUPS BJC8200), is there an easy way (i.e. synaptic) I can get it?
[04:58] <tsrk> booksbuggy, oh
[04:58] <booksbuggy> chu_, go to system printing
[04:58] <mankash> crdlb: I am getting this error: Couldn't find package linux-backports-modules-intrepid
[04:59] <bugmanx2001> ﻿df reports that /dev/sda1 (ext3 partition) is 100% full but it can't possibly be as i'm using a fraction of the space.  even when deleting files, it doesn't report any free space.  booting from a live cd and running fsck /dev/sda1 didn't help either nor shutdown -rF now.  i'm at a total loss on how to proceed.
[04:59] <booksbuggy> chu_, do add printer and select your printer version
[04:59] <booksbuggy> chu_, then select the driver you want
[04:59] <chu_> It doesn't have my printer (actually, it has models either side of mine (Canon i550))
[05:00] <booksbuggy> chu_, hmmm
[05:00] <chu_> The CUPS BJC8200 driver works with mine, just wondering if there' an easier way to get it, I don't want to download it and have to dick around.
[05:01] <GoodFella_> im having problems with Ubuntu...sometimes I´m using my computer and when I click the minimize button on my firefox it goes to a black screen with words
[05:01] <tritium> chu_: family-friendly language, please
[05:01] <booksbuggy> so ubuntu didn't auto configure the printer?
[05:01] <GoodFella_> dont know whats the problem
[05:01] <GoodFella_> any help
[05:01] <GoodFella_> ?
[05:01] <booksbuggy> chu_, so ubuntu didn't auto configure the printer?
[05:01] <Flannel> !enter |  GoodFella_
[05:01] <chu_> Well, it configured the printer, but it won't print (I used the Canon i450 driver first), it just hangs saying "Contacting service"
[05:01] <ubuntu810> help with playing a retail DVD please
[05:01] <crdlb> mankash: are you sure you're on intrepid (8.10)?
[05:02] <Gatewarstrek> ubuntu810: medibuntu
[05:02] <chu_> It is a network printer, which could add problems?
[05:02] <CrazyDesi> ubuntu810 did u install restricted?
[05:02] <booksbuggy> chu_, well maybe the firewall is blocking it
[05:02] <crdlb> chu_: you could try getting a ppd from openprinting.org
[05:02] <MiMiSoSo> hi, ubuntu for a ps3 please... not in a microwave... can i just download any release; what do you recommend???
[05:03] <booksbuggy> chu_, I had that problem before with another program
[05:03] <mankash> crdlb: I am on 8.04
[05:03] <ubuntu810> i did what this website said to do :
[05:03] <MiMiSoSo> easy to install too.. i googled and found one with kboot... what that?
[05:03] <ubuntu810> http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-play-dvd-under-ubuntu-linux
[05:03] <chu_> Well, I can print from a 32bit Vista machine here, (I can't configure the printer for 64bit vista though) so I am guessing it all works, and the mis-config is here, I figured maybe download an appropriate driver for the i550 might be the fix...
[05:03] <crdlb> mankash: that would be why then :)
[05:04] <mankash> can I upgrade to 8.1
[05:04] <booksbuggy> chu_, were you able to select the driver you wanted in printing?
[05:04] <crdlb> mankash: if you want to, yes; it's not a long-term support release like 8.04 is though
[05:04] <booksbuggy> chu_, because the auto configuration for my printer didn't support cups before so i had to install a second printer driver
[05:04] <crdlb> !upgrade | mankash
[05:04] <Flannel> MiMiSoSo: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/8.10/release/  Theres a PS3 version there
[05:05] <booksbuggy> chu_, well one for clear print and the other is for grayscale
[05:05] <GoodFella_> has anyone done an upgrade to intrepid via the upgrade button and not from the cd?
[05:05] <booksbuggy> GoodFella_, I think most people did
[05:05] <booksbuggy> GoodFella_, I didn't
[05:05] <arthus> how can I remove some software I accidently installed?
[05:05] <chu_> Basically, I think that's what I need to do, just wondering if there are any Synaptic package that do this? I don't really like messing around with stuff I *could* (and most probably will) break.
[05:05] <MiMiSoSo> thanks Flannel... is this the one with kboot... which i can just install after partitioning the disk
[05:05] <MiMiSoSo> ??
[05:06] <GoodFella_> im just checking...dont want to try it and then make my computer crash or something like that
[05:06] <GoodFella_> or lose my files
[05:06] <Flannel> MiMiSoSo: I'm not sure.  Just boot that CD, and I believe it'll do the partitioning during the install.
[05:06] <booksbuggy> chu_, well you should start with going through the drivers listed in the printer find part first
[05:06] <futsuriai> Niphyr, I am trying to install gnome-settings-daemon-dbgsym
[05:06] <booksbuggy> chu_, that's what i did and why i suggested it
[05:06] <chu_> Where is this driver find?
[05:06] <chu_> Ehh, printer find.
[05:07] <booksbuggy> system
[05:07] <booksbuggy> printer
[05:07] <booksbuggy> printing
[05:07] <tritium> !enter | booksbuggy
[05:07] <booksbuggy> tritium, i know :P
[05:07] <amathis> does the python2.5 package include the dev package?
[05:07] <booksbuggy> tritium, that was by accident
[05:07] <MiMiSoSo> thanks Flannel.. i see its a server install.. thanks i think i can pull it off from here!
[05:07] <amathis> I cannot find a dev package in the gui application manager
[05:07] <tritium> booksbuggy: ok
[05:07] <MiMiSoSo> :)
[05:07] <plsd> I have a list of files in a .txt file, is it possible to automatically delete every row that ends in a certain extension? I want the same result as when doing "ls -i *.srt" (If that's how you did the ignore thing :) ) since apparently it's not possible to ignore stuff like that when doing "nlist . list.txt" in ftp.
[05:08] <booksbuggy> chu_, well system ->administration->printing
[05:08] <RussM> plsd, Are you looking for something like "grep -v pattern"?
[05:08] <chu_> Ok, booksbuggy, there is a printer listed, but the only reason it is listed is because I set it up, and that isn't working? :p
[05:08] <narcarsiss> how to get samba info from term
[05:08] <booksbuggy> chu_, do add printer
[05:09] <arthus> I accidently "made" an old version of a binary, how do I find it and remove it?
[05:09] <futsuriai> Hello, I can't seem to install gnome-settings-daemon-dbgsym which I kind of need to get feedback on another error
[05:09] <plsd> RussM, not sure, never used grep. I just want to remove all files from that list that end in .srt and preferably not leave a blank row behind.
[05:09] <RussM> plsd, If the extension is .srt, try "grep -v '\.srt$' myfile.txt"
[05:10] <booksbuggy> chu_, well server-> new-> printer             to be exact
[05:10] <ubuntu810> i just did everthing this said to do as well : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
[05:10] <ePax> is there a way to run .dmg fiels on ubuntu somehow or whith some simulator?
[05:11] <ePax> files*
[05:12] <ubuntu810> i installed libdvdcss2
[05:12] <chu_> Sick, it's not detecting my network! Oh well, cheers anyway.
[05:12] <ubuntu810> and i installed libdvdread3 package
[05:13] <plsd> RussM, yeah that gave me a list in terminal but when I added > mylist.txt to the end of the command the txt file ended up empty. I want the entries gone from the text file, not just see the list as it should be in terminal.
[05:13] <RussM> plsd, Don't redirect into the same file, the redirect truncates the file before the output starts. redirect into another file >myfile2.txt
[05:13] <ubuntu810> i am using Movie Player

[05:14] <allan_> hello all
[05:14] <booksbuggy> chu_, go to property of the printer
[05:15] <booksbuggy> chu_, make and model
[05:15] <Daft_Punk> http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/6756/screenshotz.png
[05:15] <Daft_Punk> woops sorry
[05:15] <chu_> in the device url, how should I put it?
[05:15] <chu_> Do I include the domain and stuff?
[05:15] <booksbuggy> chu_, and then go to the printer type you have
[05:15] <Daft_Punk> is there any way to have the text on icons on the desktop viewable on both light and dark backgrounds?
[05:15] <booksbuggy> chu_, and change the driver
[05:16] <chu_> yeah, it doesn't have my printer (canon i550), it has the i560 but it doesn't work.
[05:16] <chu_> Maybe my network address is wrong.
[05:16] <plsd> RussM, I'm doing     grep -v '\.srt$' mylist.txt < mylist2.txt     and I'm getting     bash: mylist2.txt: No such file or directory     when I create an empty file with that name I don't get that message but the file is empty.
[05:16] <booksbuggy> chu_, hmmm >.<
[05:16] <chu_> I have no clue, this is too tedious.
[05:17] <RussM> plsd, You want "grep -v '\.srt$' mylist.txt >mylist2.txt
[05:17] <Daft_Punk> chu_, you are trying to get your printer working? canon i550? locally?
[05:17] <chu_> It's a network printer (I believe?)
[05:17] <booksbuggy> chu_, maybe
[05:17] <booksbuggy> chu_, did you check the firewall?
[05:17] <crdlb> chu_: you mean it's hooked directly to your router via ethernet or wifi?
[05:18] <chu_> ethernet
[05:18] <Daft_Punk> chu_, i have canon ip3500 over the network, i had to get the driver from somewhere specific, i think it was canon's support site
[05:18] <booksbuggy> People are free again :D
[05:18] <plsd> RussM, Thanks for the help!
[05:18] <RussM> plsd, np
[05:19] <lanoxx-> hi everyone
[05:20] <Daft_Punk> chu_, i couldnt find a linux driver on canons site for your printer

[05:20] <trentlemon> hi all, i managed to get the jaunty notify-osd compiled. I realize that the software is pretty new...but does anyone know if pidgin or the like can take advantage of it?

[05:20] <trentlemon> sorry, thanks
[05:20] <chu_> When setting up this printer, I don't understand what it means by smb://[workgroup/]...
[05:21] <chu_> Does that mean workgroup is optional? And if so, how do I notate it?
[05:21] <allan_> hello people is there anyone who had solved the issue of vn896 chrome9 hc video card driver... this is my problem since decemebr 2007
[05:21] <allan_> thnks
[05:21] <booksbuggy> chu_, well workgroup should be the name of the server i think
[05:22] <chu_> So, workgroup is home, the computer is called mum it would be home.mum ?
[05:23] <booksbuggy> chu_, hmmm better ask others I am still new to this system I only have one year of experience with ubuntu :P
[05:23] <Flannel> !away > iron_man_ftw
[05:25] <chu_> Am I meant to put the domain in [] brackets?

[05:25] <allan_> hello all, i tried installing mandriva 2009, openSUSE 11.1 and ubuntu 8.04lts yet i still have no luck having the 2d and 3d acceleration.. only black screen of death

[05:29] <boss> I just installed plug-in for Morse Code on IRC chat
[05:29] <boss> But dont know where or how to find the chat room for morse code
[05:29] <Nytrix> boss, join #xchat
[05:29] <chu_> Ok, so I found the recommended driver on openprinting.org - is there an easy way to install this, or is it just gonna make me want to put my fist through this screen? Because, if the latter, I will just go to my windows computer and print, I thought this would be pretty easy (everything else so far has been...)
[05:29] <boss> thanks friend
[05:30] <boss> have a good day. bye
[05:30] <Nytrix> ubuntu810, ok?

[05:32] <allan_> hello people is there anyone who had solved the issue of vn896 chrome9 hc video card driver... this is my problem since decemebr 2007
[05:32] <ubuntu810> Nytrix There is no matching application available.
[05:32] <ubuntu810> To broaden your search, choose "All available applications" or "All Open Source applications".
[05:32] <roadrock> Nytrix: I do not know, i saw morse code mentioned and CW came to mind.
[05:32] <Nytrix> magevideogames, have u tried right clicking the sound icon and configure it with different settings?
[05:33] <ubuntu810> there is no VLC in apps>Add/Remove
[05:33] <magevideogames> yes i have and none seem to give me the full range of sound
[05:33] <magevideogames> i've tried toying with config files but that hasn't helped either
[05:34] <huwenfeng> i am using Ubuntu 8.4, and the system is now in english, and i can display Chinese. but the Chinese encode seems to be UTF8, and i need to change that to GBK, anyone knows how to do this?   and , of course, i want to system to remain to be an english environment. how can i do that ?
[05:34] <Nytrix> ubuntu810, on "Show:" select "All available applications"
[05:34] <crdlb> chu_: your main problem is probably locating the printer, not the driver to use
[05:34] <ubuntu810> ok found it
[05:34] <Nytrix> now insyall it
[05:34] <Nytrix> install*
[05:35] <ubuntu810> installing.........

[05:36] <magevideogames> yes i have, that's how i learned to try and edit the config files manually
[05:36] <allan_> whois allan
[05:36] <magevideogames> still learning linux so i'm not very good at editing config files:P but i'm not afraid to screw them up lol

[05:41] <Nytrix> hector__, hi
[05:41] <hector__> I am currently looking for help can anybody please help me?
[05:41] <Nytrix> !help
[05:41] <hechu> Nytrix, Hi.
[05:41] <Nytrix> !ask
[05:42] <hechu> Nytrix, oh, hehe ,,, i c.
[05:42] <hector__> I need to compile something
[05:42] <Nytrix> what?
[05:42] <hector__> How do I compile it if it has no make file?
[05:42] <Flannel> hector__: What are you trying to compile?
[05:42] <gbear142751> Hello... I recently disabled an account on my server with a command -L but I forgot the command... anyone able to give me a mind jog on what it was?  I am now trying to reenable the login
[05:42] <magevideogames> here's my sound card Realtek ALC 660
[05:42] <hector__> bluediving
[05:43] <arisv_> let me ask something, where is this zd_rf.c
[05:43] <arisv_> http://www.nabble.com/tp-link-WN322G-td21524214.html
[05:43] <hechu> Nytrix, nothing, you call me by type 'tab' key. but actually you want say to hector__ ... hehe.
[05:43] <arisv_> in order to patch it, I can't find it in Ubuntu.
[05:43] <haowan> ubuntu need firewall ?
[05:43] <Nytrix> hechu, yeap
[05:43] <hector__> so how can i compile bluediving 0.9?
[05:43] <Flannel> arisv_: It doesn't exist in Ubuntu
[05:44] <Flannel> hector__: You'll have to check the website for it.
[05:44] <hector__> I tried it doesn't say.
[05:44] <chu_> Is there a way to change what workgoup I belong to? like "workgroup home" or whatever?
[05:44] <Iron_Chef> how do i re-disable the root account?  passwd -l root isn't enough
[05:45] <hechu> haowan, ubuntu has a firewall. but you don't need to install/start it.
[05:45] <Nytrix> hector__, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware
[05:45] <arisv_> Flannel, so?
[05:45] <Sw3RvE> so it has a built in firewall?
[05:45] <arisv_> Is it a source or sth?
[05:45] <arisv_> how I can find it?
[05:45] <hector__> Alright let me try that.
[05:45] <haowan> ubuntu need firewall ?
[05:45] <Flannel> arisv_: That's a source file, yes.  It is not in any of the packages in the repositories.  So you'll have to figure out where else to get it.
[05:46] <Flannel> !firewall | haowan
[05:46] <arisv_> ok
[05:46] <huwenfeng>  i am using Ubuntu 8.4, and the system is now in english, and i can display Chinese. but the Chinese encode seems to be UTF8, and i need to change that to GBK, anyone knows how to do this?   and , of course, i want to system to remain to be an english environment. how can i do that ?
[05:46] <Nytrix> !compiling | hector__
[05:47] <Flannel> Iron_Chef: `sudo passwd -l root` will work
[05:47] <Flannel> hector__: The README file that comes with it has installation instructions.
[05:47] <hector__> I am reading on that. Thanks for your help!
[05:48] <Iron_Chef> Flannel, not for my purpose, i needed to delete the entire password string from /etc/shadow, passwd -l just adds a ! in front of it :-)
[05:48] <Iron_Chef> ty anyway :-)_

[06:07] <atom^x> shadowwulf, i am not familiar with twinview
[06:07] <Brad450> I HOVE NO CLUE about whats wrong with my system
[06:08] <Brad450> i did reinstall twice already
[06:08] <Brad450> same problem
[06:08] <illumin8> what directions did you use to install
[06:08] <Sw3RvE> does adware and spyware affect linux at all?
[06:08] <shadowwulf> twinview is xservers version of dual screen monitors
[06:08] <illumin8> and to clarify your saying on a playstation 3?
[06:08] <Brad450> yes a PS3
[06:08] <Brad450> iam on it right now
[06:09] <Nytrix> what is wrong with the icons?
[06:09] <Brad450> PLACES on the toolbar is gone and so are all my icons
[06:09] <Sw3RvE> brad ubuntu uses too much resources for the PS3. you want to get Yellowdog 6.1 it uses the ps3's video ram plus the other ram that your using to run ubuntu.

[06:10] <nanotube> BattleStarJesus: that's not an error, that's just a status message
[06:10] <bazhang> BattleStarJesus, this is after installing a package?
[06:10] <illumin8> BattleStarJesus: its saying the new process is being used.
[06:10] <chu_> Ok, Nytrix, as I searched google for a fix, all the responses which "work" are using an IP address that "changed" to cause their problem, I'm using a network name that's not going to change.
[06:10] <BattleStarJesus> ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
[06:10] <illumin8> BattleStarJesus: not an error
[06:11] <chu_> So, completely irrelevant to me.

[06:21] <pureRadiance> Hey everyone. so I am currently running Fedora 10 besides Windows 7 and want to fully replace Fedora 10 w/ Ubuntu 8.10. When I load the installer disk I choose the manual install because I don't want to install on the whole drive. When it goes to partition manager I am given a few options. I am given a block that is a few MB which is my recovery partiotion for my laptop. I am given a NTFS formatted partition which I belie
[06:21] <homeskill> Flannel thanks, you're the man page
[06:22] <Flannel> pureRadiance: You got cut off at "which I belie"
[06:22] <pureRadiance> which I believe is Windows and then I am given a large block which I am almost positive is Fedora but its formatting is Unknown. When I click next I have to determine what formatting I need. What do I choose? ext2 , ext3, NTFS?
[06:22] <Flannel> pureRadiance: you want ext3
[06:22] <Nytrix> ext3
[06:23] <pureRadiance> Alright. and i am also given the option of where would i like to mount the drive. Do I leave that blank, do I use a forward slash?
[06:23] <upgrdman> roadrock: thanks
[06:23] <Flannel> pureRadiance: / is your main partition (that's the root of your filesystem)
[06:23] <Uplink> what is <Super>Button1 ???
[06:23] <roadrock> upgrdman: welcome
[06:23] <juniecho> Uplink: Windows key
[06:23] <Uplink> juniecho: and the button1?
[06:23] <pureRadiance> alright. sounds good. if it does successful, ill be on IRC in about 20 minutes!
[06:24] <juniecho> Uplink: probably left mouse button, if you're right-handed
[06:24] <Uplink> hmm it seems to lock
[06:25] <Brad450> is theyre a command that can reset my desktop??
[06:25] <Uplink> i press Super+Right mouse button and my hole PC locks
[06:25] <Sw3RvE> what is super?
[06:26] <juniecho> Uplink: what are you trying to do?
[06:26] <cooldduuudde> Sw3RvE super means windows key
[06:26] <Uplink> juniecho: zoom in and out
[06:26] <roadrock> Uplink: probably compiz, avoid windows keys.
[06:26] <Uplink> roadrock: yea on compiz says "Zoom In [<super>Button1]
[06:26] <Uplink> "
[06:27] <juniecho> Uplink, did that super-btn1 work?
[06:27] <roadrock> Uplink: you can change the key-binding
[06:27] <gaintsura> I'm having problems getting the adobeairinstaller.bin to run.. how do I run it
[06:27] <juniecho> Uplink: did super-button1 zoom in the screen?
[06:27] <Uplink> juniecho: nope...
[06:28] <Uplink> whats Button5?
[06:28] <Brad450> how can i reset GNOME????????
[06:28] <roadrock> gaintsura: chmod +x filename.bin then ./filename.bin
[06:28] <gaintsura> thanks
[06:28] <juniecho> Brad450 try ctrl-alt-backspace
[06:28] <Brad450> does that restart the system??
[06:28] <Rabbitbunny> no
[06:29] <Rabbitbunny> it restarts x.
[06:29] <juniecho> Uplink could you try some other combinations... that's odd, i don't use zoom in-out but it should work...
[06:29] <Uplink> juniecho: whats button5?
[06:29] <roadrock> Uplink: that key combo may have a conflict, maybe
[06:29] <Uplink> roadrock: prob... any better way to zoom?
[06:29] <juniecho> Uplink if you're using a mouse with Back/Forward button those are button4/5
[06:30] <Uplink> juniecho: and button 3?
[06:30] <Rabbitbunny> scroll click.
[06:30] <Uplink> juniecho: ok its working now... i changed the bindings
[06:30] <juniecho> Uplink scroll wheel click
[06:30] <juniecho> Uplink that's good congratulations
[06:30] <roadrock> Uplink: i don't use compiz, use setting to detup a safer key-binding
[06:30] <roadrock> Uplink: setup
[06:31] <Uplink> alright ty for the help juniecho and roadrock... i changed the bindings :]
[06:33] <juniecho> Hey can anyone give me an answer to this... NTFS problem? I installed Ubuntu via WUBI, so my host partition is automatically mounted on /host. The problem is, I can copy files to that partition, but some programs, like EasyTAG, are not able to write to that NTFS partition. Anyone help?
[06:34] <magevideogames> install ntfs-4g if you haven't already
[06:35] <magevideogames> ntfs-3g*
[06:35] <juniecho> magevideogames I already have ntfs-3g, i think it comes with ubuntu 8.10... does it not?
[06:35] <magevideogames> and ntfs-config
[06:36] <magevideogames> then open ntfs configuration tool from system tools and then check the drive you want read write access and click ok
[06:36] <juniecho> oh thanks i'll try... i'm now installing that ntfs-config
[06:37] <juniecho> magevideogames my ntfs partition is not listed... is it okay?
[06:38] <juniecho> maybe because it is already mounted...
[06:38] <magevideogames> hmm alright if its the drive you are using yes its mounted
[06:38] <magevideogames> try this
[06:38] <juniecho> magevideogames, write support for internal devices is already enabled
[06:39] <magevideogames> in a terminal type "gksu gedit /etx/fstab"
[06:39] <magevideogames> and tell me what it says
[06:40] <roadrock>  /etc/fstab
[06:40] <magevideogames> lol yeah
[06:40] <magevideogames> sorry making typos like crazy right now>.<
[06:40] <Brad450> anyone know how to bring back the PLACES section in xubuntu??
[06:40] <magevideogames> "gksu gedit /etc/fstab" is what i meant
[06:40] <juniecho> i already looked into that fstab and ... this is somewhat strange.
[06:40] <magevideogames> seriousely need to stop multitasking
[06:40] <magevideogames> i fail at it lol
[06:41] <roadrock> juniecho: wubi is evil.
[06:41] <magevideogames> what does the fstab file say next to UUID?
[06:41] <juniecho> well, i have two partitions on my hard drive, VISTA(C:), and DATA(D:)
[06:41] <juniecho> magevideogames, there is no UUID
[06:42] <juniecho> currently i want to deal with 'DATA', but there is no entry for DATA in fstab, but it's mounted! how can this be?
[06:42] <magevideogames> what about next to /dev then?
[06:42] <magevideogames> it's probably not mounted by its label
[06:42] <magevideogames> for whatever reason
[06:43] <magevideogames> for me it mounted my drives my label
[06:43] <magevideogames> dunno why its not for you
[06:43] <juniecho> well, no, it has /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk, /host/ubuntu/disks/boot, /host/ubuntu/disks/swap.disk, and /dev/sda1.
[06:43] <cooldduuudde> guys is wubi installation quite reliable?
[06:43] <magevideogames> hmm i'm guessing it's not treating the partition correctly then
[06:43] <juniecho> and dev/sda1 is that VISTA partition (wubi is installed in DATA partition, with all my music, video files in it)
[06:43] <joljam> my mouse click is not working when I do a remote session to a windows comp from my ubuntu intrepid
[06:43] <magevideogames> and that i don't have much experience with unfortunately
[06:44] <juniecho> hmm... this is really strange, should i re-mount this partition?
[06:44] <Rabbitbunny> cooldduuudde: Yes.
[06:44] <juniecho> like add a line like /dev/sda2....
[06:44] <magevideogames> no no
[06:44] <magevideogames> you need to know the info about the partition
[06:44] <juniecho> magevideogames you mean uuid?
[06:45] <magevideogames> in a terminal type "sudo fdisk -l"
[06:45] <magevideogames> and tell me what it says
[06:47] <juniecho> well... looks like i've got to install pastebinit
[06:47] <magevideogames> either that or just pm me and send it to me that way:P
[06:47] <magevideogames> i don't mind a flood of text in pms lol
[06:47] <juniecho> http://pastebin.com/f34cd62e7
[06:48] <magevideogames> unless its like over 10 lines
[06:48] <juniecho> 9 lines :) yeah
[06:48] <roadrock> juniecho: sudo fdisk -l > textfile.txt then open file, select all and copy
[06:48] <magevideogames> ok in the fstab did it have both /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 listed?
[06:49] <juniecho> magevideogames, yes it has both partitions
[06:49] <magevideogames> hmm pastebin it to me then maybe i can understand better that way
[06:49] <juniecho> http://pastebin.com/f34cd62e7
[06:49] <juniecho> it's here
[06:49] <magevideogames> see if maybe i can see what needs to be added/changed
[06:49] <to3000> when is the next ubuntu coming out
[06:50] <juniecho> to3000 october i think
[06:50] <magevideogames> i meant pastebin the fstab
[06:50] <to3000> isent it april
[06:51] <to3000> 23ed
[06:51] <Sw3RvE> is xubuntu going to be released at the same time or later than ubuntu
[06:51] <to3000> i duno

[06:53] <Nytrix> how do i find out where a program is installed?
[06:54] <to3000> by
[06:55] <Nytrix> how do i find out where a program is installed?
[06:55] <cooldduuudde> are there any good games avlbl for linux?
[06:55] <magevideogames> what does it say next to /dev/sda2 when you type "blkid" in a terminal?
[06:55] <magevideogames> i see that its not mounting the partition
[06:55] <Nytrix> cooldduuudde, Nexuiz
[06:55] <magevideogames> so i need to know the output of the command i just said
[06:55] <cooldduuudde> Nytrix usr/bin
[06:55] <juniecho> blikd? it produces nothing
[06:56] <Nytrix> cooldduuudde, try Nexuiz
[06:56] <cooldduuudde> bytrix ok i mean /usr/bin
[06:56] <juniecho> oh sorry i forgot sudo...
[06:56] <ahofha> how do you background a process via a key?  Control+Z stops it
[06:56] <juniecho> it says.................... /dev/sda2: UUID="7416028B2887992F" LABEL="DATA" TYPE="ntfs"
[06:58] <magevideogames> k add this to the fstab at the bottom "UUID=7416028B2887992 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=ko_KR.UTF-8 0 0"
[06:58] <magevideogames> then restart and see if its working for you
[06:58] <juniecho> without quotes?
[06:58] <magevideogames> yeah
[06:59] <magevideogames> without the quotes
[06:59] <Guest68487> hello, i'm having trouble changing ownership(from root to xun) in a NTFS partition. can someone help?
[06:59] <juniecho> one more thing: where should i place 'force'?
[06:59] <magevideogames> what do you mean?
[07:00] <juniecho> force mount option when that ntfs is flagged dirty
[07:00] <magevideogames> guest i think you have to do chmod for that
[07:00] <magevideogames> oh
[07:00] <magevideogames> to fix that
[07:00] <magevideogames> install ntfs-progs
[07:00] <magevideogames> and run ntfsfix on /dev/sda2
[07:00] <juniecho> long time ago i just added 'force' to that fstab and just fixed the problem
[07:00] <magevideogames> that will check it and fix problems
[07:00] <magevideogames> then it will be allowed to mount
[07:00] <lukehasnoname> How the HELL do I fix rhythmbox's most annoying flaw? That being that it removes songs from its play queue as they are played, instead of leaving them there?
[07:00] <magevideogames> its bad to mount dirty filesystems
[07:01] <magevideogames> can cause major problems
[07:01] <juniecho> oh is it bad?
[07:01] <juniecho> all right... ntfs-progs?
[07:01] <magevideogames> yeah
[07:02] <juniecho> shouldn't i add mount point to that fstab?
[07:02] <cooldduuudde> guys sometimes partitions are not mounted wen you shut down windows in improper manner
[07:02] <juniecho> is it okay without mount point?
[07:02] <magevideogames> no i figured you'd put whatever mount point you wanted it does need a mount point so a full example would be
[07:03] <magevideogames> "UUID=7416028B2887992 /media/mydata ntfs-3g defaults,locale=ko_KR.UTF-8 0 0
[07:03] <bitsbam> sound on intrepid has me frustrated as all getout. I installed on three computers in the house, only one that doesn't have a sound problem is the laptop.
[07:03] <juniecho> like /media/DATA
[07:03] <juniecho> oh yeah...
[07:03] <bitsbam> is there and easy way to disable onboard sound if you have a sound card?
[07:03] <spaceBARbarian> whats a good GUI based ssh program for ubuntu ?
[07:03] <magevideogames> sound i don't know as i can't get 5.1 sound out of my system lol
[07:04] <magevideogames> don't deal with ssh really so i wouldn't know sorry
[07:04] <juniecho> oh
[07:04] <juniecho> .............to think of that i don't need to force mount :(
[07:04] <cooldduuudde> sound in ubuntu is real bad.... i get choppy sound at high volumes. lol
[07:04] <juniecho> because if that ntfs is dirty ubuntu will fail to start :(
[07:05] <magevideogames> it won't fail to start
[07:05] <magevideogames> just won't load the partition
[07:05] <magevideogames> oh wait
[07:05] <magevideogames> i see what you mean
[07:05] <LogicFan> cooldduuudde, i have sound problems in ubuntu as well
[07:05] <magevideogames> well if the boot partition is messed up
[07:05] <land> am i in?
[07:05] <magevideogames> you have to tell it to check the filesystem before boot
[07:05] <juniecho> yeah :) because ubuntu will start on that ntfs partition...
[07:05] <roadrock> bitsbam: yeah, change device double clicking volume control choose preferences, choose souncard. you should get and run asoundconf and set default soundcard also.
[07:05] <LogicFan> 8.10 64bit with intel audio on my laptop (dell xps m1330).  especially with rhythmbox...
[07:06] <cooldduuudde> yeah.... i even tried installing GNome ALSA mixer but to no avail logicfan
[07:06] <land> where am i?
[07:06] <magevideogames> which is done through something like touch /etc/fschk or something like that i found it online
[07:06] <magevideogames> only the boot partition matters though
[07:06] <cooldduuudde> land in an irc channel
[07:06] <magevideogames> if the spare one is messed up it just won't load it
[07:06] <magevideogames> cause it's not needed to boot
[07:06] <LogicFan> cooldduuudde, my sound works about 98% of the time though
[07:06] <land> lol, i'm in
[07:06] <LogicFan> but, i dont how to pinpoint the problems when they happen
[07:06] <land> guys i need some help
[07:06] <juniecho> well... magevideogames, it doesn't work, wubi makes use of a virtual disk file on ntfs drive, so... if the partition is dirty, then it can't load the root partition :)
[07:07] <cooldduuudde> logicfan, yeah also the front headphone jack doesn't work
[07:07] <bitsbam> roadrock: ok, top two entries were the two sound devices, then a long list of each one in alsa, etc... now do asoundconf?
[07:07] <bitsbam> roadrock: i mean after choosing
[07:07] <LogicFan> cooldduuudde, only one of my front headphone jacks works :)
[07:07] <magevideogames> what you need to do is tell the system to check the filsystem on bootup
[07:07] <roadrock> bitsbam: asoundconf-gtk package
[07:07] <nellmathew1> this isn't really an ubuntu question but i've been looking around and i can't get a definite answer to this.. i have an ide ultra ata100 hard drive on my laptop, i'm having a hard time finding a replacement for it.. is it the same as PATA? does anyone know?
[07:07] <juniecho> hmm is it possible?
[07:07] <magevideogames> before starting the load sequence to start up ubuntu
[07:07] <magevideogames> let me get the command you need to run
[07:07] <LogicFan> nellmathew1, yes, its the same
[07:08] <nellmathew1> thanks a lot.. had a feeling
[07:08] <cooldduuudde> laughing out loud.....logicfan mic jack works headphone doesn't
[07:08] <magevideogames> "sudotouch /forcefsck"
[07:08] <bitsbam> roadrock: thanks, apting now
[07:08] <magevideogames> "sudo touch /forcefsck"*
[07:08] <magevideogames> then restart and it will check and fix the filesystem
[07:08] <LogicFan> nellmathew1, pata = parallel ATA.  ultra ata100 is the same interface.  the ata100 is the transfer speed of the interface
[07:08] <bitsbam> welcome back, quibbler
[07:08] <magevideogames> if it can
[07:08] <magevideogames> and will be able to boot
[07:08] <magevideogames> and mount it
[07:08] <FloodBot1> magevideogames: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:09] <quibbler> bitsbam: goog morning
[07:09] <LogicFan> cooldduuudde, i have jacksensing drivers for my chip on windows, so i can dynamically reconfigure the ports, but not in ubuntu :(
[07:09] <juniecho> so magevideogames, where should i do that?
[07:09] <Datz> Hi, I want to disable the option where when the mouse is hovered over a mp3 file, it plays.
[07:09] <bitsbam> roadrock: selected the sound card, what now?
[07:09] <land> i'm having a hard time activating proprietary driver for my graphics; i'm on mint
[07:09] <quibbler> *good...that's how early it is
[07:09] <magevideogames> if you can't boot up ubuntu then you could easily schedule a check disk in windows
[07:09] <bitsbam> roadrock: that's it?
[07:09] <magevideogames> otherwise use a live cd
[07:10] <cooldduuudde> logicfan yeah i have dat thing too. the realtek software but its as if realtek guys don't know that linux exists...lol
[07:10] <juniecho> magevideogames, can i run that command on initramfs?
[07:10] <LogicFan> sound is my only major problem in 8.10 :(  otherwise, it works great on my laptop
[07:10] <histo> !sound | LogicFan
[07:10] <LogicFan> wait, i have a memory card reader problem too ;D
[07:10] <gbear14275> looking to enable my ubuntu machine to receive log files from my linksys router running tomato firmware.... not sure where to start.  It has a CIFS function, can I use this?
[07:10] <cooldduuudde> hmmm....logicfan if you observe closely there's also a problem in video
[07:10] <roadrock> bitsbam: go into system - preferences - sound and set the device there too, you probably need to play with it
[07:11] <bitsbam> roadrock: ok, thanks
[07:11] <LogicFan> cooldduuudde, do you also have a xps m1330?
[07:11] <cooldduuudde> logicfan no i have hpm7360in desktop
[07:11] <roadrock> bitsbam: choose alsa by the way
[07:11] <bitsbam> ok
[07:11] <LogicFan> histo, i have looked at most of those, but i will investigate more thoroughly, thanks
[07:12] <gbear14275> anyone done any sysloging stuff?
[07:12] <cooldduuudde> logicfan ok nice talkin 2 you....:)
[07:12] <juniecho> well anyway i'll first restart :) wish me luck
[07:12] <magevideogames> good luck:)
[07:12] <pureRadiance> Okay so I've got Ubuntu 8.10 and Windows 7 dual booting. But the grub loader looks like crap, all text based and no nice GUI. Any way to fix this or am I stuck with an icky looking loader?
[07:13] <pureRadiance> Take in mind I was using Plymouth with Fedora so anything will be a step down until the next release
[07:13] <Omlette> Nothing wrong with text.
[07:13] <LogicFan> histo, i have alsa mixer selected (HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer))
[07:13] <bitsbam> roadrock: sounds great, watching a thing on miro right now. thanks for your help
[07:14] <pureRadiance> Omlette: true, however, i wouldnt mind a little eye-candy every now and then.
[07:14] <Cody_> Does anyone have a solution as to why everytime i open FireFox the Panel on the top and Panel on the bottom dissapears? I have to hit F11 twice to get them back.
[07:14] <Omlette> pureRadiance: I agree. However, I don't think you'll get much eye candy from the GRUB. :)
[07:14] <pureRadiance> Cody_: turn off Auto-hide?
[07:14] <Cody_> Wheres that at?
[07:15] <Cody_> I never turned it on sorry.
[07:15] <pureRadiance> Right Click Panel > Properties > Auto Hide
[07:15] <cooldduuudde> okay
[07:15] <roadrock> bitsbam: glad it worked, good job, youre welcome
[07:15] <Cody_> pureRadiance:  Its not ticked.
[07:15] <Datz> Where are the File Management options?
[07:15] <LogicFan> Cody_,  if its not auto-hide, you need to delete your localstore.rdf file (while FF is closed)
[07:16] <LogicFan> then restart FF and it'll recreate it
[07:16] <roadrock> Omlette: you can make grub use color, its a comment in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:16] <LogicFan> Cody_, its available in ~/.mozilla/firefox
[07:16] <Cody_> Wheres that stored at?
[07:16] <amruthraj> Hi, I am unable to use gdb and strace at the same time. From the strace output, i see a big chunk of memory mmap'ed. But then I am not able to figure out where in the code this is happening:( Can someone help me out?
[07:16] <pureRadiance> roadroc: can I use an image in the grub and if so what type?
[07:16] <Cody_> LogicFan:  Im sorry but im new to ubuntu and do not know how to find that folder.
[07:17] <mj8741> land what's it doing?
[07:17] <LogicFan> Cody_, sorry, i should have been more specific.  first, go to your home folder
[07:17] <LogicFan> places>home folder
[07:17] <Cody_> Yea, not your fault. Im sorry.
[07:17] <Cody_> There.
[07:17] <exon> does anyone know if remote desktop is possible between 2 difrent networks and how to do it?
[07:17] <LogicFan> and now you need to turn on hidden files/folders
[07:18] <LogicFan> Cody_, Edit>Preferences
[07:18] <LogicFan> check "show hidden and backup files"
[07:18] <LogicFan> then hit close
[07:18] <Cody_> Okay sir.
[07:18] <LogicFan> now you'll see a bunch of folders that start with .
[07:18] <LogicFan> scroll down to mozilla
[07:19] <LogicFan> then firefox
[07:19] <Datz> thanks for the help guys
[07:19] <Cody_> Yes sir.
[07:19] <LogicFan> then you need to go into your profile folder
[07:19] <LogicFan> something like ahad872.default
[07:19] <Cody_> 20zxeyaj.default
[07:19] <LogicFan> right
[07:19] <Cody_> Okay.
[07:19] <LogicFan> then scroll down and find localstore.rdf file
[07:19] <land> mj8741: i'm on Mint; i'm havin' a hard time activating proprietary driver for my ATI graphics
[07:19] <LogicFan> make sure firefox is completely closed first
[07:20] <LogicFan> once firefox is closed, delete the file, then restart firefox and see if the toolbars are active like normal
[07:20] <magevideogames> anyone here have experience getting sound cards to work correctly? if so pm me>.<
[07:20] <LogicFan> the localstore.rdf will be recreated cleanly upon starting up FF
[07:21] <mj8741> land does it give an option to activate? if so make sure you have 3rd party repositories checked
[07:21] <Cody_> Do i have to close it in another way than just hitting the X ?
[07:21] <LogicFan> no
[07:21] <LogicFan> hitting X is ok
[07:21] <LogicFan> or file>quit
[07:21] <Cody_> Okay deleting.
[07:22] <land> mj8741, i can't find any drivers
[07:22] <Cody_> And the restart is opening it up again correct?
[07:22] <LogicFan> yep
[07:22] <Cody_> You're the man ;)
[07:22] <LogicFan> let me know if firefox opens properly
[07:22] <Cody_> Thank you sir.
[07:22] <LogicFan> Cody_, good to go?
[07:22] <mj8741> did you do a search on deb packages
[07:22] <Cody_> Yes sir. Thank you.
[07:23] <mj8741> or go to there website
[07:23] <Sarthor> Hi, i tried my level best to hand two isp / uplinks on linux Machine, but No Success, I am trying on Mikrotik, i called for help in mikrotik chan, but no help there, any one here to help???
[07:23] <LogicFan> Cody_, for some reason that file gets corrupted on Firefox 3.0.6, so if that happens again (or your toolbar positions aren't being remembered), repeat that same process
[07:23] <Cody_> Okay. Thank you. Have a good day.
[07:23] <LogicFan> also, the official firefox channel is #firefox on irc.mozilla.org
[07:23] <LogicFan> you're welcome, g'day!
[07:24] <Cody_> :)
[07:28] <Sarthor> Hi, i tried my level best to hand two isp / uplinks on linux Machine, but No Success, I am trying on Mikrotik, i called for help in mikrotik chan, but no help there, any one here to help???
[07:28] <exon> does anyone know how the remote desktop works ...i possible need to open some ports in router???
[07:29] <mj8741> exon you do have to open ports but I don't know which ones they are, sorry
[07:30] <LogicFan> exon, generally, the ports selected are configured in the software
[07:30] <saurabh> hello guys
[07:30] <LogicFan> although some packages have well-known default ports
[07:30] <saurabh> I am new over here
[07:30] <Nytrix> port 5900
[07:30] <magevideogames> hello saurabh
[07:30] <LogicFan> saurabh, me too :)
[07:30] <Nytrix> histo, sau
[07:31] <Nytrix> sauvin, hi
[07:31] <histo> ?
[07:31] <saurabh> where are u from LogicFan :)
[07:31] <Nytrix> saurabh, hi
[07:31] <Nytrix> hehe
[07:31] <sauvin> erm?
[07:31] <saurabh> Hi Nytrix
[07:31] <Nytrix> histo, nevermind...typo
[07:31] <saurabh> Nytrix, where r u from??
[07:31] <Nytrix> L.A
[07:31] <saurabh> me from India
[07:32] <bitsbam> roadrock: err, still having some trouble
[07:33] <bitsbam> miro plays sound, but so far, nothing else does
[07:33] <bitsbam> if that matters
[07:35] <roadrock> bitsbam: running intrepid?
[07:35] <bitsbam> yes
[07:37] <roadrock> bitsbam: install alsamixer set everything. check system -prefs -sound play with settings. pulseaudio is a pain.
[07:37] <bitsbam> roadrock: should i remove pulseaudio?
[07:37] <Sarthor> Hi, i tried my level best to hand two isp / uplinks on linux Machine, but No Success, I am trying on Mikrotik, i called for help in mikrotik chan, but no help there, any one here to help???
[07:38] <KazaLite> which irc client is most widely used on ubuntu?
[07:38] <roadrock> bitsbam: i purged pulse and installed esound.
[07:38] <crism> Anyone got experience with disk damage? My / partition got dinged when my laptop fell. I ran fsck from a boot DVD, and reinstalled, but I am still having errors on dmesg and when trying to update from Synaptic.
[07:38] <crism> KazaLite: I like pidgin.
[07:38] <roadrock> bitsbam: with onboard sound and a soundcard you've got to experiment
[07:39] <roadrock> bitsbam: i'm on hardy at the moment.
[07:39] <Sw3RvE> i like xchat for irc.
[07:39] <bitsbam> ok
[07:39] <bitsbam> thanks
[07:39]  * sauvin uses kopete for the ims but xchat for irc
[07:39] <simplexio> crism: you probably have some badblocks
[07:39] <dtchen> bitsbam: if you're using multiple cards, install pavucontrol, then migrate the stream(s) to the intended audio device
[07:39] <Sw3RvE> pidgin is a good messenger client.
[07:40] <crism> simplexio: I definitely do. I was hoping that fsck would mark them as bad and that the reinstall would work around them.
[07:40] <roadrock> dtchen: good advice, bitsbam try that
[07:40] <quibbler> !irc client
[07:40] <quibbler> !irc
[07:40] <bitsbam> roadrock, dtchen looks like i have it already, ok
[07:40] <palomer> help! everything on my screen is a tad too small, giving me a headache
[07:40] <bitsbam> will try
[07:40] <palomer> how do I fix it?
[07:41] <simplexio> crism: http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/badblockhowto.html#rfile  ,, command is badblocks i think. newer used
[07:41] <simplexio> crism: im not sure does fschk fix those
[07:42] <crism> simplexio: tx very much
[07:42] <Nytrix> palomer, is it your screen resolution?
[07:43] <Nytrix> system>preferences>screen resolution
[07:44] <crism> palomer: which distro are you using? I had problems with Feisty on a cinema display that went away by themselves with Intrepid.
[07:44] <crism> (Though my text was too large rather than too small.)
[07:44] <bitsbam> these dialogs for sound are locking up.
[07:44] <error404notfound> when I run date, it shows correct date but with CET, I want it to be PKT, how to do that?
[07:46] <bitsbam> ok, in my install, i got pulse-audio device control, pulse audio device control, this pavucontrol thing, etc.. lots of packages to get sound going, am i kind of an exceptino here?
[07:46] <bitsbam> oh, and, of course the gnome volume control
[07:47] <dtchen> bitsbam: the clutter is known; yes, it's confusing as heck for everyone
[07:47] <dtchen> bitsbam: hopefully, it will be sorted and stable for 9.10
[07:48] <bitsbam> dtchen: yeah, it's cool
[07:48] <bitsbam> dtchen: would it be advisable to ditch pulse and just run alsa?
[07:49] <Shaun> could anyone here help fix a problem i have with my system not starting up with my second sata drive attached.  if i connect it after booting up i can mount and use it fine...fsck throws up no errors
[07:49] <dtchen> bitsbam: that's really your prerogative. we're working hard to get these issues resolved.
[07:49] <bitsbam> dtchen: are you part of ubuntu development?
[07:51] <roadrock> Shaun: have you insured the system bios sees the second drive?
[07:51] <dtchen> bitsbam: yes
[07:51] <Shaun> bios sees it fine
[07:51] <ahofha> iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 --destination 127.0.0.2 -j REDIRECT --to-port 4602 ... then iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 4602 -j ACCEPT , then did iptables-save / /etc/init.d/iptables save I have an alias in my /etc/hosts for 127.0.0.2 data.localhost the problem is, when I go to data.localhost, it's not honoring the portforwarding rule, it's still going to port 80
[07:51] <roadrock> Shaun: hrm
[07:51] <ahofha> any clue anyone ?
[07:51] <Shaun> it was working fine with an older kernel, after a delay, but since installing bootchart it wont with either
[07:51] <bitsbam> dtchen: well  thanks, it's an honor. You guys are doing a smash up job here with this distro. really, in all greatfulness, thanks
[07:51] <simplexio> Shaun: boot order ... sata comes first one if you add it before boot
[07:52] <Sarthor> Do you know? What linux Cant do that Windows Can do, One of them is Handling double isp / uplinks, Windows can handle but now linux   http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/routing-for-multiple-uplinks-providers-703789/
[07:52] <bitsbam> really, to all of you developers
[07:52] <Shaun> after the system detects my card readers it then hangs for several minutes before spamming my screen with lines referencing sdb (the second sata)
[07:53] <Shaun> like this: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.0/host3/target3:0:0/3:0:0:0/block/sdb (10536)
[07:53] <Shaun> loads of those, with differing end numbers
[07:53] <roadrock> Shaun: check your /etc/fstab  wubi install?
[07:54] <dtchen> bitsbam: the "honor" is really everyone's.
[07:54] <Shaun> /dev/Storage/Files  /mnt/store  ext4  defaults  0  0
[07:55] <roadrock> Shaun: read your dmesg in a terminal, see why its confused
[07:55] <Shaun> how can i get to a terminal at that point?
[07:56] <ahofha> iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 --destination 127.0.0.2 -j REDIRECT --to-port 4602 ... then iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 4602 -j ACCEPT , then did iptables-save / /etc/init.d/iptables save I have an alias in my /etc/hosts for 127.0.0.2 data.localhost the problem is, when I go to data.localhost, it's not honoring the portforwarding rule, it's still going to port 80
[07:56] <O__o> hi, how to play realplayer files?
[07:56] <ahofha> anyone?
[07:56] <roadrock> Shaun: terminal is in your apps menu somwhere
[07:56] <roadrock> O__o: install realplayer
[07:57] <O__o> realplayer has spyware in windows, and i dont trust realplayer
[07:57] <Shaun> will it still be in dmesg, as i'd have to attach the drive, wait for it to hang, detach, boot again, and then dmesg...
[07:57] <roadrock> O__o: windows realplayer is evil, its fine uder 'nix
[07:57] <O__o> i get mplayer working in my desktop here and i forgot how i installed that so i can play rm
[07:58] <O__o> is it w32codecs?
[07:58] <shausam27> trying to download on amule but it tells me i have a low id and firewalled with buddy buy i can not fine any firewall called on my system help
[07:58] <roadrock> O__o: dont think so.
[07:58] <crism> simplexio: badblocks is also called via fsck -c.
[07:58] <Shaun> when it was working on the old kernel previously, dmesg showed nothing out of the ordinary...and i cant see anything in any logs referencing the above messages i see spamming the screen during bootup
[07:58] <crism> But I hadn’t actually run that yet…
[07:58] <O__o> i have mplayer plays rm fine in desktop and i want to do the same with my kaptop
[07:58] <O__o> laptop

[08:02] <O__o> dont trust real.com
[08:02] <Scuanor> credo °nods°
[08:03] <O__o> i want to play it in mplayer
[08:04] <credo> ^paradox^: there isnt really user difference between +r and -r. i have checked by burns and it resulted that my burner liked +r more
[08:04] <shausam27> trying to download on amule but it tells me i have a low id and firewalled with buddy buy i can not fine any firewall called buddy on my system help
[08:04] <credo> ^paradox^: cant tell until you test your burns. but there shouldnt be difference.
[08:04] <crdlb> grndslm: there's no firmware needed for atheros, but jockey does handle the driver
[08:04] <^paradox^> credo: what do you mean it liked +r better?
[08:05] <grndslm> crdlb: so atheros does need some restricted software to work properly?
[08:05] <crdlb> grndslm: not necessarily
[08:05] <credo> ^paradox^: there is soft cdspeed2000.com (windows) that can test your burns
[08:06] <Shaun> any ideas? anyone
[08:06] <roadrock> O__o: http://uk.real.com/player/select/  get linux bin file, chmod +x it then ./realplayergold.bin and follow prompts install in /opt/  piece of cake
[08:06] <credo> ^paradox^: by burns were better with +r. but i believe its buggy burner. there shouldnt be any difference
[08:06] <crdlb> grndslm: there are two drivers available, madwifi (ath_pci), and ath5k; the former has a binary-only HAL (ath_hal)
[08:06] <^paradox^> ah ok
[08:07] <grndslm> crdlb:  reason i'm asking is because i'm trying to use remastersys to create a LiveDVD that has effective tools for various desktops/laptops... things like ntfs-3g, ntfs-config, b43-fwcutter & firmware, etc.
[08:07] <quibbler> ^paradox^: look here for difference: http://www.build-your-own-computer-tips.com/dvd-drive-differences.html
[08:07] <Scuanor> credo: i can acess that program, but cant set a different CRT in the settings there. i DO know, that that CRT can handle 1280x1024. maybe if i edit that configfile directrly?
[08:07] <^paradox^> correct me if wrong ok
[08:07] <crdlb> grndslm: on intrepid, you can install linux-backports-modules-intrepid, and a new choice will become available in jockey for the fully open source driver (which happens to support more hardware)
[08:07] <grndslm> crdlb:  i'm definitely looking for all restricted networking stuff for sure... and unfortunately, i can't use intrepid as it's too buggy with intel graphics
[08:07] <grndslm> among other things
[08:08] <^paradox^> but a dvd can also be used for audio and data, like a much larger version of cd?
[08:08] <crdlb> hardy only has madwifi afaik
[08:08] <credo> Scuanor: try nvidia-xconfig and restart Xorg
[08:08] <shausam27> i need to know if any one uses amule and if they ban tell me to get out of low id
[08:08] <yaroman> what do I do ifI forgot my user password to this chat server?
[08:08] <Scuanor> credo: will do
[08:08] <credo> Scuanor: precede it with sudo
[08:08] <grndslm> crdlb:  why would you install intrepid backports to intrepid?
[08:09] <roadrock> yaroman: freenode will email it to you.
[08:09] <credo> Scuanor: if not you will have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf file manually
[08:09] <yaroman> roadrock1: And how do I ask for it?
[08:09] <crdlb> grndslm: it's backports for intrepid, not from intrepid
[08:09] <roadrock> yaroman: the website
[08:09] <crdlb> grndslm: it's in intrepid's release notes if you want to double-check :)
[08:10] <grndslm> ahh... i've never enabled backports actually, as i'm far too cautious.
[08:10] <roadrock> yaroman: http://freenode.net/
[08:10] <saadi559595> can't use my scanner "benq 4300U" with xsane or kooka...how to configure my scanner with sane ...i have windows drivers with me..
[08:10] <^paradox^> i mean cause 4 gigs would certainly help clear some space from my computer
[08:10] <grndslm> crdlb:  ya mind explaining this: "there are two drivers available, madwifi (ath_pci), and ath5k; the former has a binary-only HAL (ath_hal)"
[08:10] <O__o> roadrock, dont want realplayer
[08:10] <crdlb> grndslm: it's not the same thing as intrepid-backports; it's even included on the CD
[08:10] <grndslm> weird
[08:10] <Scuanor> credo: i preceded it with sudo, making the command look as "sudo nvidia-xconfig" but ntohing happens, no feedback whatsoever
[08:10] <roadrock> O__o: ok
[08:11] <grndslm> crdlb:what is ath5k?
[08:11] <credo> Scuanor: yes. you must restart X. i believe it writes the settings it recognizes
[08:11] <O__o> roadrock, how do i add the extra package source?
[08:11] <streenz> grndslm, ath5k are linux wifi drivers
[08:11] <crdlb> grndslm: madwifi is the old driver, which has a closed-source Hardware Access Layer (Atheros claimed this is because the device can exceed FCC restrictions, which would make it illegal in the US)
[08:11] <O__o> is it mediubuntu something like that?
[08:12] <Scuanor> credo: im not sure i understand, i must restart ubuntu before giving the sudo xconfig command?
[08:12] <crdlb> grndslm: ath5k is a driver which uses the linux wifi stack like other drivers and has a reverse-engineered replacement for what the HAL does
[08:12] <crdlb> so it can be included in the kernel now
[08:12] <roadrock> O__o: but you dont want it
[08:12] <credo> Scuanor: you must exit the windowed mode and start it anew before it takes effect
[08:12] <Scuanor> credo: okay.
[08:13] <grndslm> crdlb: interesting... doesn't work with 2.6.24?
[08:13] <credo> Scuanor: no need to restart...
[08:13] <grndslm> crdlb: is recompiling possible? it almost seems like that might be worth it for what I'm trying to do
[08:13] <crdlb> grndslm: probably not, madwifi is probably the only real choice for hardy
[08:13] <Scuanor> credo CTRL+ALT+DEL worked :o)
[08:13] <hotleg> tsup
[08:13] <Scuanor> credo: sorry, i meant not del but backspace
[08:13] <credo> Scuanor: examine your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:14] <hotleg> wait
[08:14] <hotleg> whats going on here?
[08:14]  * Scuanor pulls hotleg ;oP
[08:14] <credo> Scuanor: yes but i believe ubuntu has graphic login manager running still... not sure if you must exit that TOO or not

[08:19] <Shaun> roadrock: i have splash and quiet disabled so i can see the kernel output during startup...running dmesg after booting up sucessfully with the second hdd attached only allows me to view output from the current boot
[08:19] <Shaun> second hdd detatched*
[08:20] <Lokin> How do I add programs to the startup menu via terminal?
[08:22] <Lokin> ?
[08:23] <lusepuster_> Lokin, what is a startup menu?
[08:24] <Lokin> It is the user applications the OS loads from grub
[08:24] <lusepuster_> Ah, ok. Sorry, blank  on that one
[08:26] <Lokin> lusepuster_: wanna help me test something
[08:26] <roadrock> Shaun: attach it then sudo fdisk -l  note the drive and edit /etc/fstab

[08:27] <Lokin> Anyone, telnet truehelix.com 2749
[08:27] <Lokin> need some testing done
[08:27] <roadrock> Shaun: fstab should mount it on boot if its instructed properly

[08:28] <O__o> anyone knows how to edit the maximus exclude list?
[08:29] <Shaun> attached, it lists the drive as sdf, but its UUID is in fstab so running mount /mnt/store mounts the drive fine

[08:35] <quibbler> hotleg: ;-)
[08:35] <hotleg> hey quibb thanks a lot for uyour help
[08:35] <lusepuster_> Like, why is that? Not much fun in having a graphic utility if I can't use it...?
[08:35] <mamaro> I don't understan how this works: I have the same username on my "server-ubuntu" and the "laptop-vista" then I mapped a directory. I can't delete,create new folders. What do I change in User settings?
[08:35] <hotleg> what can you tell me about virus in xubuntu?
[08:35] <savvas> Is there a recommended upgrade offline for servers without a desktop manager? This seems to be only for graphical upgrades: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading#Upgrading%20Using%20the%20Alternate%20CD/DVD
[08:35] <hotleg> should i worried about them?
[08:35] <opera_> !Bullet Proof X
[08:36] <roadrock> Shaun: you might try /dev/sdf  /mnt/store  butusing LVM..I dunno. backup the file first
[08:36] <quibbler> hotleg: there are no virus to worry about in linux
[08:36] <opera_> !LTS
[08:36] <hotleg> cool!
[08:36] <hotleg> no drivers,no antivirus,really fast
[08:36] <hotleg> damn!!
[08:36] <hotleg> this OS rules!!
[08:36] <Shaun> it wont be sdf if i boot up with the drive attached...and as its lvm the drive isnt mounted by its partition id
[08:37] <Cedara> I had an fsck error 5 (bad block), now I should run fsck manually (ubuntu 8.10). Googled out that I should get in with the live cd then run fsck in a terminal. Now I'm unsure if I have to unmount the drive first (/dev/sda1)... newbie here...
[08:37] <Like> lusepuster what happeng with your graphic you use compiz fusion type aptitude purge compiz and disable any tink in your computer
[08:37] <Shaun> i'll comment out the lvm in fstab and see if the system hangs on boot!
[08:37] <Shaun> bbiab
[08:38] <lusepuster_> Like; I have no problem with graphics. The problem is, again, that I don't have permissions to share a folder as a windows share, although I am in admin group
[08:38] <mamaro> cool
[08:38] <Like> why
[08:39] <Like> lusepuster why
[08:39] <roadrock> Cedara: you dont fsck a mounted drive

[08:50] <int256> roadrock: trying..
[08:50] <Like> well wenn you cant login tell me here

[08:50] <Linux_Time> moin o:
[08:50] <dr_Willis> histo,  i always manually edit it anyway...
[08:51] <dr_Willis> since i know exasctly what i want. :)

[08:51] <Cedara> google says the hdd is failing
[08:51] <Cedara> is that correct?
[08:51] <Cedara> because I still have a warranty on it
[08:51] <dr_Willis> Cedara,  lets just say - it pays to have backups.....
[08:51] <Cedara> dr_Willis: I do have some backups
[08:51] <Linux_Time> is there a german ubuntu channel in this network?
[08:51] <dr_Willis> Cedara,  i would back it up.. and thourlgy test it.
[08:52] <jsbw> hi im a newbe, who can helps me to getsound on a compaq
[08:52] <roadrock> int256: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start might wotk.
[08:52] <Cedara> dr_Willis: how do I thoroughly test it? I'm still a newbie in this
[08:52] <histo> dr_Willis: yeah its just annoying that they are trying ot add support in the gui for sharing. But they forgot something major that windows users are used to.

[09:10] <roadrock> Cedara: congrats
[09:10] <Cedara> I'm not following
[09:10] <Like> j/k
[09:10] <Cedara> thanks.
[09:10] <WeepingUser> What am I supposed to do with that
[09:10] <Shaun> its a modified kernel for the aspire one
[09:10] <ikonia> WeepingUser: what's up? what's the problem
[09:10] <mchelen> gluonman, are you using usb or bluetooth?
[09:10] <it-linux> WeepingUser : I have a nice program that can build repository that worked on your working Netbook
[09:11] <gluonman> mchelen, I'm using USB.
[09:11] <it-linux> WeepingUser : that is aptonCD
[09:11] <Ademan> does anyone know where i can get python 2.6.x without sidestepping apt? i'm on intrepid atm
[09:11] <mchelen> gluonman, does the phone support detection as usb hd? if not you may need some particular programs
[09:11] <Shaun> roadrock: i'll look into the possibility of it being an lvm issue
[09:11] <Like> gluonman,  after 8.10 the system autoconfigure the flash point
[09:11] <lusepuster_> Like, please don't try to solve people's problems if you don't have a clue what they are about. It is not making anything easier and giving others the false impression that the problem is already being solved.
[09:12] <gluonman> mchelen, the phone uses wm5.2 (Windows Mobile). It's designed for USB file-transfers and autosync. But Ubuntu just won't recognize it.
[09:12] <gluonman> Like, what do you mean?
[09:12] <WeepingUser> I like the setup of the screen I have. Whatever help I can get would be wonderfull, speaking of which I am not well versed in this stuff. Soo...what does aptonCD do?
[09:12] <it-linux> WeepingUser : this application can collect all of your install apps in your netbook and turn it to ISO
[09:12] <wtv> !aptoncd | WeepingUser
[09:13] <it-linux> thank you ubottu
[09:13] <roadrock> i better crash gotta get up in 3 hours
[09:14] <WeepingUser> .....*is confused*
[09:14] <it-linux> WeepingUser : is that already have Linpus Linux on your Netbook?
[09:15] <Harmonia_Amanda> bonjour
[09:15] <WeepingUser> No. It came originally with windows. With much much effort I got unbuntu on it
[09:15] <mchelen> gluonman, try searching for your phone model and ubuntu, also check if it shows up with sudo fdisk -l
[09:15] <gluonman>  mchelen, I've been searching the web for answers for the last 2 hours. Haven't found much info. Or at least info that I understand in the least. But I'll try sudo fdisk -l
[09:16] <streenz> WeepingUser, I wasnt looking at this window until now.. I also have an Acer Aspire One running ubuntu, was there something you had a problem with?
[09:16] <Like> hey lusepuster_  dont fith please
[09:16] <ikonia> Like: don't fith ?
[09:16] <mchelen> gluonman, does it work okay in other computers? maybe some option on the phone must be enabled
[09:16] <hotbaby1> hi
[09:17] <hotbaby1> what is the equivalent of mirc in ubuntu?
[09:17] <WeepingUser> Yes. I got it on there, no problems at all, but zero internet connection, and zero recognition of wireless connections. Even hooked in via hard line I only got it to work long enough to update. ANy ideas for a kind of uneducated user streenz?
[09:17] <gluonman> mchelen, if I plug it into a Windows computer, it automatically pops up the file-transfer/sync gui. So I can get my phone's pictures, etc. on a computer if it's WIndows no problem.
[09:17] <wtv> pidgin hotbaby1
[09:17] <gluonman> mchelen, so no, it's not the phone. It's Ubuntu.
[09:17] <hotbaby1> pidgin??
[09:17] <mchelen> hotbaby1, try xchat
[09:17] <ikonia> hotbaby1: there are many irc clients
[09:17] <hotbaby1> ok
[09:17] <wtv> !pidgin ~ hotbaby1
[09:17] <ikonia> hotbaby1: if you search for "irc" in the package manager you'll see many options
[09:17] <wtv> !pidgin | hotbaby1
[09:17] <hotbaby1> where is package manager?
[09:18] <hotbaby1> does it come with ubuntu?
[09:18] <mchelen> gluonman, what is the phone model?
[09:18] <wtv> hotbaby1 yes it does
[09:18] <ikonia> hotbaby1: the package manager is with ubuntu, yes
[09:18] <ikonia> hotbaby1: if you search the package manager for "irc" you'll see many clients
[09:18] <gluonman> mchelen, it's the T-Mobile Dash.
[09:18] <hotbaby1> how to get access to package manger?
[09:18] <hotbaby1> system menu?
[09:18] <streenz> WeepingUser, the wifi doesnt work right out of the box.. have you tried doing anything, like installing other wifi drivers?
[09:18] <it-linux> WeepingUser: ok, what kind of Ubuntu you have installed ?
[09:18] <ikonia> hotbaby1: system -> administration -> synaptic
[09:18] <mchelen> hotbaby1, applications -> add /remove
[09:18] <gluonman> mchelen, the Dash's OS is wm5.2
[09:18] <mchelen> either one
[09:19] <hotbaby1> how to install stuf in synaptic?
[09:19] <hotbaby1> stuff*
[09:19] <WeepingUser> I would if I knew where to get any. Or how to install them.
[09:19] <ikonia> !synaptic > hotbaby1
[09:19] <barduck> how would I rename a filename extension to lower case? I found a "rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/'" command but it renames the entire filename. How do I change it to work on extension only ?
[09:19] <it-linux> WeepingUser : try wicd
[09:20] <it-linux> WeepingUser : it works for me until now
[09:20] <crazy_monkey> i want do install something but ./install gives the error "command not found"
[09:20] <WeepingUser> And I have unbuntu version 8.10
[09:20] <dash84> the room has 1337 people
[09:20] <streenz> WeepingUser, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne110L   <--- on that page it has a section for WLan
[09:20] <hotbaby1> one more question
[09:20] <dash84> you could read that in two ways
[09:20] <dash84> ;]
[09:20] <hotbaby1> i'm going to install ubuntu
[09:20] <hotbaby1> i have 45GB which has vista installed -boot drive
[09:21] <hotbaby1> i have another 10GB
[09:21] <hotbaby1> which is not boot drive
[09:21] <hotbaby1> can i install in 10GB?
[09:21] <ikonia> hotbaby1: sure
[09:21] <FloodBot2> hotbaby1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:21] <wtv> hotbaby1 yes
[09:21] <hotbaby1> will ubuntu installer make  it boot drive also?
[09:21] <dash84> does it have anything you need on it?
[09:21] <WeepingUser> I found that streenz, but I cant make heads or tails of it'
[09:21] <dash84> :/
[09:21] <Guest76238> hi, anyone willing to help a newby, forum is not ansg me:  mandb: device is too full...
[09:21] <Myrtti> barduck: rename 's/\.A-Z$/\.a-z/' * ?
[09:21] <hotbaby1> ?
[09:22] <wtv> if you have a single hd, grub will be installed on it hotbaby1
[09:22] <Myrtti> barduck: not sure though
[09:22] <barduck> Myrtti: I will check that
[09:22] <wtv> !grub | hotbaby1
[09:22] <hotbaby1> grub is installed automatically?
[09:22] <Myrtti> barduck: basically combine what's in man rename
[09:22] <hotbaby1> will it mess up vista?
[09:22] <wtv> yeah grub is a part of ubuntu installation
[09:22] <it-linux> WeepingUser : is there any question?
[09:22] <streenz> WeepingUser, does your wired networking work right now, or no?
[09:22] <wtv> hotbaby1 no it won't
[09:22] <hotbaby1> i have one harddisk which is partitioned into 45 GB and 10GB
[09:23] <mchelen> gluonman, have you seen synce.org?
[09:23] <gluonman> mchelen, no.
[09:23] <WeepingUser> Streenz: No it dosent. At all.
[09:23] <hotbaby1> so i just follow the installer
[09:23] <gluonman> mchelen, is it synce.org or did you intend sync.org?
[09:23] <hotbaby1> choose 10GB is the installation place?
[09:23] <hotbaby1> am i right?
[09:23] <dash84> hot, why dont you just use virtualbox
[09:23] <dash84> lol
[09:23] <mchelen> gluonman, synCE.org
[09:23] <hotbaby1> apt-get update is the command to update software in ubuntu
[09:23] <hotbaby1> i use virtualbox
[09:23] <gluonman> mchelen, alright. Does it do file transfer?
[09:23] <wtv> hotbaby1 yeah its ok you can go ahead and follow the installer just know that you vil have 2 use manual partitionning whr the mount point shud b /
[09:24] <hotbaby1> it mess up my vista boot
[09:24] <hotbaby1> i can't boot vista
[09:24] <mchelen> hotbaby1, apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[09:24] <hotbaby1> after i install virtual box
[09:24] <hotbaby1> virtual box is not good
[09:24] <dash84> i highly doubt thats the case.
[09:24] <entrooo> Does anybody here use octave?
[09:24] <dash84> virtualbox never once gave me a problem
[09:24] <hotbaby1> also i'm reading "linux device driver 3rd edition"
[09:24] <dash84> +i dont see how that would affect your vista from booting
[09:25] <mchelen> gluonman, think so, here is ubuntu install guide: http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceWithUbuntu
[09:25] <hotbaby1> it said i need to download linux 2.6 kernel from kernel.org
[09:25] <hotbaby1> what is the point of doing it?
[09:25] <ikonia> hotbaby1: what said that ?
[09:25] <hotbaby1> ubuntu has linux kernel?
[09:25] <Like> :)
[09:25] <ikonia> hotbaby1: ubuntu is linux
[09:25] <dash84> lol
[09:25] <hotbaby1> i'm trying to learn how to write linux device driver from a book
[09:25] <Linux_Time> does someone here know why i'm banned in #ubuntu-de ? :o
[09:25] <wtv> don't go for manual update. install what ubuntu gives you hotbaby1
[09:25] <Myrtti> hotbaby1: good luck with that
[09:25] <ikonia> hotbaby1: ok - well ubuntu uses the linux kernel
[09:25] <gluonman> mchelen, thank you. I'll check that out. Any problems and I'll be back to ask you.
[09:25] <ikonia> Linux_Time: join #ubuntu-irc
[09:26] <WeepingUser> Streenz?
[09:26] <Chousuke> hotbaby1: having the kernel sources will make it easier for you as you can study them
[09:26] <mchelen> gluonman, hope that works idk if there is an easier way
[09:26] <dash84> yeah can someone get an op in #kubuntu-offtopic to unban me
[09:26] <dash84> they banned me for being a jerk
[09:26] <gluonman> mchelen, thanks.
[09:26] <dash84> lol
[09:26] <entrooo> Anybody worked with octave before?
[09:26] <hotbaby1> chouseke
[09:26] <hotbaby1> u expert with device driver?
[09:26] <ikonia> dash84: please join #ubuntu-ops - and it's not funny
[09:26] <Chousuke> hotbaby1: not at all :P
[09:26] <dash84> really?
[09:26] <ikonia> dash84: yes
[09:26] <ensonic> could anyone get something going for thsi bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/oprofile/+bug/272209 ?
[09:26] <Chousuke> hotbaby1: writing device drivers is not easy
[09:26] <ensonic> I really miss oprofile
[09:26] <Chousuke> hotbaby1: have you ever programmed in C before?
[09:26] <mchelen> gluonman, check the 8.10 guide if you are using intrepid
[09:27] <hotbaby1> yes
[09:27] <dash84> ...
[09:27] <Chousuke> well, good
[09:27] <dash84> :/
[09:27] <hotbaby1> i'm going to learn linux device driver 3rd edition
[09:27] <ikonia> dash84: please stop that
[09:27] <ikonia> hotbaby1: ok, good luck with it
[09:27] <streenz> WeepingUser, sorry.. what does it do? Is it saying "Disconnected" or something similar after it tries to connect thru a wired connection?
[09:27] <gluonman> mchelen, alright.
[09:27] <dash84> stop what
[09:27] <hotbaby1> i heard most of the source code doesn't compile
[09:27] <homercycles> does anybody know where gnome stores all its recent file history for applications such as Totem? I'd like to automate the clearing of such information
[09:27] <ikonia> dash84: making random posts in this channel please.
[09:27] <trupheenix> ikonia: how do i remove sudo privileges for a user?
[09:27] <hotbaby1> so anyone has written device driver before?
[09:27] <ikonia> hotbaby1: you heard wrong, and that is not ontopic for this channel
[09:27] <ikonia> trupheenix: take them out of the admin group
[09:27] <dash84> nah thats just my expression being translated into text.
[09:27] <ikonia> dash84: then please stop that
[09:28] <dash84> but im so used to it!
[09:28] <ikonia> dash84: then please stop that
[09:28] <trupheenix> ikonia: ok so the command for doing that is? i know how to use the GUI but i'm trying this on a server
[09:28] <WeepingUser> Streenz: EXACTLY it sits there doing its attempting to connect, then says disconnected.
[09:28] <ikonia> trupheenix: usermod -g $groups user
[09:28] <trupheenix> ikonia: ok
[09:28] <ikonia> trupheenix: with sudo of course
[09:28] <entrooo> Hey, I'm in a gnome terminal window and it says "END" and I can't figure out how to get back to the prompt
[09:28] <ikonia> tritium: or you could just pull them from the /etc/group file
[09:28] <entrooo> no matter what i hit it beeps
[09:28] <ikonia> tritium: sorry not you
[09:28] <Kartagis> entrooo, type q
[09:28] <ikonia> trupheenix: or you could pull them from the /etc/group file
[09:29] <quibbler> entrooo: type q
[09:29] <entrooo> Kartagis, thank you man, that beeping was killing me
[09:29] <Kartagis> np entrooo
[09:30] <entrooo> Do you know how to turn off that system beep? I tried doing some commands I read to turn it off in the terminal but it is still doing it
[09:30] <streenz> WeepingUser, okay, the exact same thing happened to me as well.. it is a problem with the kernel 2.6.27-11... I fixed it on mine by loading an earlier kernel at boot that I had installed, but if you just installed ubuntu recently you might not have one to choose from..  hrmm
[09:30] <Mpole> hi everyone
[09:30] <Mpole> does anyone know how to configure a CDMA USB data modem?
[09:30] <WeepingUser> *looks hopefully at*

[09:31] <theygotme> how do i comment out lines in conkyrc ?
[09:31] <wtv> or press backspace in empty textbox
[09:31] <crazy_monkey> help, when I enter './install' it sais command not found
[09:32] <quibbler> theygotme: # at the beginning  of the line
[09:32] <ardchoille> crazy_monkey: that is telling the system to run the file named "install"
[09:32] <theygotme> quibbler: then it only displays a # in front of the rest :(
[09:32] <WeepingUser> I apologize in advance if I am a little dull, I have been working on this...*counts* 16 hours
[09:32] <entrooo> quibbler where does it say system though? I don't see it in there
[09:33] <crazy_monkey> ardchoille, there is a file install in the directory but why this error
[09:33] <Mpole> Anyone: How do I configure my CDMA USB data modem using setserial, wvdialconf and wvdial?
[09:33] <ardchoille> crazy_monkey: is the file named install or Install or INSTALL or install.sh?
[09:33] <quibbler> entrooo: main menu
[09:33] <crazy_monkey> ardchoille, no its just install
[09:34] <entrooo> quibbler, I'm talking about in the sound preferences
[09:34] <entrooo> I'm in sounds and I don't see system any where
[09:34] <ardchoille> crazy_monkey: open the fle in gedit and see what it is: gedit install
[09:34] <ardchoille> crazy_monkey: I'm thinking it is install instructions rather than an install script
[09:35] <it-linux> I have a problem recently, my Firefox it´s becaome slow to loading.
[09:35] <it-linux> the internet connection is fine, no problem at all
[09:35] <quibbler> entrooo: so am i...last tab is system beep
[09:35] <Kartagis> when I am connected to a samba share, the laptop takes sooooo long to shutdown. any ideas why?
[09:36] <ardchoille> crazy_monkey: also check the execute perms on that install file, you may have to set the execute bit
[09:36] <it-linux> when I switch tab, it´s hang up ffor a while than loading.
[09:37] <it-linux> what´s the problem?
[09:37] <it-linux> I´ve re-install too
[09:38] <quibbler> theygotme: where in conkyrc are you trying to comment out?
[09:38] <entrooo> quibbler my last tab is just Sounds, I only have two, Devices and Sounds
[09:38] <streenz> WeepingUser, I'm sending you a private message, it should show up as my name by the channel list (where it says #ubuntu on the side)
[09:38] <simeon_> hi all... is there a Right Way (TM) to compile out-of-tree kernel modules to load on a standard Ubuntu install? I'm having module symbol version issues...
[09:39] <quibbler> entrooo: i have 3 tabs ..i'm using ubuntu you?
[09:40] <simeon_> I installed and extracted linux-source, then I copied my running kernel's .config from /boot, did a make modules_prepare
[09:40] <entrooo> quibbler, I have ubuntu intrepid 8.10
[09:40] <simeon_> make M=/some/dir/containing/module builds the module
[09:40] <simeon_> modinfo says it has module versioning
[09:40] <quibbler> entrooo: ah i,m 8.04 maybe 8.10 is different ask again
[09:41] <simeon_> but I get a kernel message saying it cannot find the versioning structure in the module when I try load it with insmod...
[09:41] <entrooo> quibbler, I found a temp fix to do it through terminal
[09:41] <crazy_monkey> ardchoille, thx that was the problem
[09:41] <entrooo> quibbler, thanks for your help anyways
[09:41] <ardchoille> entrooo: where are you and what's the issue?
[09:41] <ardchoille> crazy_monkey: yw :)
[09:41] <quibbler> entrooo: what was the fix?
[09:41] <entrooo> ardchoille, I'm in my sound preferences looking to turn off system beep
[09:42] <ardchoille> entrooo: for logout?
[09:42] <m31> c
[09:42] <entrooo> quibbler, it was sudo rmmod pcspkr
[09:43] <entrooo> ardchoille, just in general, like if I hold delete and stuff
[09:43] <quibbler> entrooo: thx
[09:43] <entrooo> quibbler, but you'll have to use that each time you boot up
[09:43] <ardchoille> entrooo: I see a lot of tweaks in Sound Preferences -> Sounds tab
[09:44] <entrooo> Is there a way to have my linux run a few commands each time I boot up rather than having to manually type them each time?
[09:44] <quibbler> entrooo: found this thread in the forums maybe what for you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1051220
[09:44] <entrooo> I have to turn on my wireless card each time and it's kind of annoying to type it each time
[09:44] <ikonia> entrooo: /etc/rc.local maybe ?
[09:44] <entrooo> ikonia, what is that?
[09:45] <ikonia> entrooo: script file thats executed on boot
[09:45] <entrooo> ikonia, should I just add my own commands and it will work?
[09:45] <Notch-1> excuse me, shuld you point me to a good password manager that can handle pidgin/firefox/evolution/etc passwords?
[09:45] <entrooo> quibbler, good find man, thanks
[09:46] <Mpole> !Huawei EC325
[09:46] <Mpole> !Huawei
[09:47] <hotbaby1> anyone used ndiswrapper before?
[09:47] <ikonia> entrooo: pretty much yup
[09:47] <Paddy_EIRE> Mpole: I use a Huawei.. although not that one
[09:47] <ardchoille> Notch-1:  I use revelation
[09:47] <Paddy_EIRE> Mpole: ask your question
[09:47] <hotbaby1> mhy dell wlan wireless card doesn't work on ubuntu
[09:47] <ikonia> hotbaby1: yes, I don't personally rate it as a technology but I do appreciate some people will need it as there is no other tehnology
[09:47] <hotbaby1> easy to install
[09:47] <simplexio> Mpole: just google it. there if huawei means that you want to get 3G mobile connection
[09:47] <hotbaby1> does it come with ubuntu?
[09:47] <ikonia> hotbaby1: it won't work nativley if there is no Linux kernel module for it nativly, hence why some people need to use ndiswrapper
[09:47] <Paddy_EIRE> !wontwork | hotbaby1
[09:47] <Paddy_EIRE> hmm
[09:47] <ikonia> hotbaby1:  you need to install it using the package manager
[09:48] <dkg> How can I configure ubuntu to ignore my remote control as a keyboard when I use lirc, or not use lirc and have all the buttons mapped to some key using built in driver?
[09:48] <hotbaby1> it comes with package manger?
[09:48] <entrooo> ikonia, in the script it says it runs at the end of each multiuser runlevel, not at the start though
[09:48] <hotbaby1> so it's in ubuntu?
[09:48] <hotbaby1> cool
[09:48] <ikonia> hotbaby1: it is in the ubuntu software repositories which are accessed through the package manager
[09:48] <hotbaby1> so i don't need to download
[09:48] <ikonia> entrooo: oh sorry, you said at the start
[09:48] <Paddy_EIRE> !repositories | hotbaby1
[09:48] <ikonia> hotbaby1: you will need to download from the ubuntu repos through the package manager
[09:48] <hotbaby1> JRE is in pakage manger too?
[09:48] <entrooo> ikonia, I want it to run at the start
[09:48] <simplexio> dkg: i think you can configure lirc to do specific command on button
[09:49] <entrooo> ikonia, but in the script it says it runs at the end of each session
[09:49] <ikonia> entrooo: apologies, then you need to make an init script and add it to the correct run level
[09:49] <hotbaby1> i need to setup repo?
[09:49] <hotbaby1> what's that?
[09:49] <Paddy_EIRE> no
[09:49] <hotbaby1> how to get to package manager?
[09:49] <ardchoille> !repos | hotbaby1
[09:49] <hotbaby1> system->admin-synatic?
[09:49] <archman> I'm not trying to flame here, but is there any burning program that actually works? (heck...is there any program that works...) I'm trying to burn cue/bin here, on brasero, nero linux and k3b and it says that the image is corrupted. I go to the xp machine, and everything burned fine, disc working) What's now the problem again?
[09:49] <Paddy_EIRE> yeah hotbaby1
[09:49] <entrooo> ikonia, I need to head to bed, but I'll come back and try and figure that out later, thanks for your help though
[09:49] <ikonia> entrooo: no problem
[09:49] <hotbaby1> how to install
[09:49] <hotbaby1> once i get to package manager?
[09:50] <ikonia> hotbaby1: use the package manager and the links I gave you
[09:50] <ikonia> !synaptic > hotbaby1
[09:50] <dkg> simplexio: I can get lirc working but the kernel still processes buttons pressed as keyboard keys too.  can I dissable that? /dev/input/event6?
[09:50] <Paddy_EIRE> hotbaby1: search for ndiswrapper
[09:50] <Paddy_EIRE> hotbaby1: using synaptic
[09:50] <hotbaby1> and then paddy?
[09:50] <ikonia> hotbaby1: as you're not running ubuntu yet you'll find it hard to discuss this
[09:50] <ikonia> hotbaby1: try running it first
[09:50] <simplexio> archman: my gnome defautl cdburner works fine, though it want images to be .iso, chek bin2iso
[09:50] <Paddy_EIRE> tick it to install it hotbaby1 :P
[09:50] <ikonia> hotbaby1: also read the documents ubottu just sent you
[09:50] <hotbaby1> ok
[09:50] <Silicium> from where is the Default Nautilus-Desktop Background Color loaded if its not set in gconf?
[09:50] <Seveas> archman, try converting the .bin to iso before burning
[09:51] <simeon_> is anyone running Intrepid with a kernel from Jaunty?
[09:51] <simplexio> dkg: no idea. i just googled about that stuff few months ago when i had little project that didnt start
[09:51] <ardchoille> Silicium: in nautilus, Edit -> Backgrounds and emblems ?
[09:51] <dkg> simplexio: I've exhausted my googling skills on the matter :(
[09:52] <Silicium> the desktop background
[09:52] <archman> simplexio, seveas, is there not ANY app that supports both? Do I need to have 4 apps to do a one-type job...after two years of using ubuntu I'm starting to dislike it :(
[09:52] <Silicium> the brown one
[09:52] <Notch-1> ardchoille: i can use it with firefox?
[09:52] <Silicium> ardchoille: this isnt set in gconf if is unchanged
[09:52] <Silicium> and i need to change that default value
[09:52] <Silicium> and also not in gconf
[09:52] <quentusrex> I'm getting a locale error. How do I manually set the locale?
[09:53] <ardchoille> Notch-1: if you're talking about the functionality of kwallet, then I don't know a gnome app that does it
[09:53] <Silicium> ardchoille: any idea?
[09:53] <ardchoille> Silicium: I don't have a normal desktop in gnome but I seem to remember right-clicking the desktop and choosing "configure" or some such
[09:53] <Silicium> i dont have a gui
[09:53] <archman> simplexio: bin2iso is not in reps...
[09:53] <simplexio> archman: probably there is, but i think that .bin/cue compo is from nero and it has nothing to do with linux enviroment
[09:53]  * Flare183 is tired
[09:53] <Silicium> i need to predefine that
[09:54] <Notch-1> ardchoille: yes, i was :°°
[09:54] <barduck> how would I rename a filename extension to lower case? I found a "rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/'" command but it renames the entire filename. How do I change it to work on extension only ? or is there another command line that can do this?
[09:54] <dkg> how can I find which driver/module is using /dev/input/event6 and find it's source code? where should I start?
[09:55] <nomingzi> please advise me what program can be used to send or receive fax ?
[09:55] <Scuanor> °waves°
[09:55] <ardchoille> barduck: would this help?   http://ardchoille.pastebin.com/m1edf6002
[09:55] <Caesi> hullo, could anyone tell me how to remove tomboy notes from the startup programmes under Ubuntu? can't find it anywhere
[09:56] <archman> simplexio: i tried bchunk and it parts it into iso and some cdr's ...
[09:56] <cooldduuudde> caesi system>preferences>sessions
[09:56] <barduck> ardchoille: well, it is a start...I need it to be generic
[09:56] <Caesi> cooldduuudde: it's not there
[09:57] <Seveas> Silicium, isn't it in the gdm config?
[09:57] <cooldduuudde> caesi what's not there?
[09:57] <Caesi> cooldduuudde: tomboy notes
[09:57] <simplexio> archman: yes, yes, bchunk should do it, you could also do apt-cache search 2iso
[09:57] <Silicium> Seveas: yes, i already found
[09:57] <Silicium> thanks :)
[09:58] <archman> simplexio: searched now, only bchunk exists, but it doesn't create just a single iso...that's the problem
[10:01] <cooldduuudde> :'(
[10:01] <TheK_> ok.. I'm puzzled. I'm running ubuntu 8.10 on a amd machine with integrated ATI graphics. I'm seeing 1mb/s memory leak when running mythtv.
[10:02] <MaT-dg> how can I find the device name of a (capture)-device?
[10:03] <dkg> MaT-dg: try lspci or lsusb
[10:04] <banisterfiend> anyone know a good free gnome video capture program? i want to show someone how to configure a program
[10:04] <banisterfiend>  and i want a video of myself doing it
[10:04] <banisterfiend>  what's the best/easiest one to use? note i dont have a particularly fast system
[10:04] <koshari> banisterfiend record mydesktop
[10:04] <dkg> where can I find the source code for files in  /lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/drivers/media/   ?
[10:04] <MaT-dg> ok, I see my webcam with lsusb, but how do I open the stream in vlc? onboard cam is '/dev/video0'
[10:04] <banisterfiend> is that the best one ksh?
[10:05] <ikonia> last hot
[10:05] <ikonia> oops
[10:05] <simplexio> dkg: from linux-source
[10:05] <saadi559595> can anyone tell me how can i use my benq 4300U XP drivers with ubuntu (gutsy)
[10:05] <koshari> banisterfiend if you dont have a particuly fast system yu can just recors a portion of your desktop, ie a single window
[10:05] <koshari> saadi559595 you cannot
[10:05] <banisterfiend> koshari: ok thanks
[10:05] <dkg> simplexio: is that the package name?
[10:06] <saadi559595> my scanner is supported with sane but i can't use it...how can i make it workable
[10:06] <simplexio> dkg: maybe... basicly if you want to edit kernel drivers you need to compile new kernel
[10:06] <koshari> MaT-dg i dont know that you can do what you want with VLC
[10:06] <koshari> saadi559595 what sort is it?
[10:06] <dkg> simplexio: that's not a problem, I NEED to get this working. thanks for the help. I'll have a little google around :)
[10:07] <saadi559595> my scanner is benq 4300 U usb flatbed scanner
[10:07] <MaT-dg> koshari: I did it before but with the new vlc or the new ubuntu the names are a little different I guess
[10:07] <simplexio> dkg: there is ubuntu way to do i. check compile kernel ubuntu way. and fetch latest kernel from kernel org
[10:07] <koshari> saadi559595 firs see if your sys can see it with lsusb
[10:07] <dkg> simplexio: will do. thanks again : )
[10:07] <simplexio> dkg: so problem is that lirc remote gives "keys" to X when you use it or what ?
[10:08] <dkg> simplexio: even without lirc, ir_common (I think) is sending keys, with lirc it gets them twice
[10:09] <saadi559595> how can i c it with |susb
[10:09] <simplexio> dkg: i could usually use my mad google skillz but im at work and only browser that i can use is ie6 on sloow xp computer
[10:10] <koshari> saadi559595 sorry i meant lsusb in a terminal
[10:10] <dkg> simplexio: I've been googling for days, found nothing of interest, only similar to this.. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/67399
[10:11] <simplexio> dkg: have you tested different kernel versions ?
[10:11] <dkg> simplexio: not yet.
[10:12] <simplexio> dkg: if its kernel bug then it usually get fixed in next release.
[10:12] <dkg> simplexio: hope so.  take care.  I'll go search some more.
[10:13] <simplexio> dkg: my best quess is that if remote control uses /dev/ttyS0, it has settings wrong because it echoes all commands twice
[10:13] <alfar> hello
[10:13] <hateball> I've got an Ubuntu 8.04, with 2 NICs running under VmWare ESX. For some reason the network stops working at times. I'm wondering if this might be ESX related, or if it's a Ubuntu issue? Machines with just one NIC work fine, with or without Vmware-tools.
[10:13] <simplexio> dkg: and is there any change that you happen to be build live ubuntu + remote control + something enviroment ?
[10:19] <disappearedng> how do I open a uif file?
[10:20] <nomingzi> please advise me what program that can send and receive fax ?
[10:21] <ikonia> nomingzi: hylafax ?
[10:21] <ikonia> nomingzi: *may want to check the spelling*
[10:21] <ikonia> hilafax ? hylafax ?
[10:21] <nomingzi> ikonia: thanks
[10:22] <oCean_> disappearedng: that's a specific iso file I think?
[10:22] <hay_ig2000> hi all, when I type su >and password>authenication failed  usind intrepid
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> hay_ig2000: don't use su
[10:23] <Aragon> can i undo a aptitude update... because i have a notebook here and i it run perfectly with xubuntu until i did an update now i cant boot it... also with the older kernel, which worked before one cant boot it...
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> hay_ig2000: use: sudo -i
[10:23] <shadeslayer> hi, i have gnome and kde but gdm wont start and i have to use kdm
[10:23] <hay_ig2000> ok thanks a llot
[10:23] <oCean_> disappearedng: created by MagicISO apparently
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> hay_ig2000: su wont work as there is no root pass
[10:23] <zamba> i need a capture card that's known to work in ubuntu
[10:24] <shadeslayer> and quassel doesnt seem to display my messages i send propely
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | zamba
[10:24] <hay_ig2000> i stands for=
[10:24] <zamba> ActionParsnip: thanks
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> hay_ig2000: interactive
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> hay_ig2000: when you are done, type exit and you will revert back to user level
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> hay_ig2000: try to minimise its use
[10:24] <oCean_> disappearedng: I think you need MagicISO (and also wine to run that) to use the UIF
[10:25] <hay_ig2000> OK thanks a lot
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> shadeslayer: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/how-to-switch-between-gdm-and-kdm-on-ubuntu/
[10:25] <TheK_> ok.. "used memory" as reported by "top" for example is memory which is mapped into some kind of kernel memory mangement, hence it is not 'wasted' but rather effective memory, where as 'free' memory is memory which hasn't yet been put to use.. right?
[10:25] <shadeslayer> btw when i choose gdm in default-login-manager it doesnt work
[10:25] <dash84> sup shade
[10:25] <dash84> hows life
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> TheK_: pretty much, linux uses memory as disk cache to speed stuff up
[10:26] <TheK_> hence I should only worry if my userspace apps are grabbing alot of memory or if my swap is working like crazy
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> TheK_: i always look at what is being used in the process list below
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> TheK_: you can edit a file to reduce swappiness which will make the system reduce cache instead of using swap when it gets busy
[10:27] <TheK_> ActionParsnip: Ok.. Is theere anything I should look out for in slabtop when it comes to kernel memory usage?
[10:27] <shadeslayer> ActionParsnip: btw is quassel an KDE app or GNOME app??
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> !info quassel
[10:27] <banisterfiend> when i use 'record my desktop' to record stuff im doing in a window, it's kind of screwed, the videos dont work right...they remain a static picture with just some weird graphical glitches going on! help!
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> hmm
[10:27] <simplexio> TheK_: yes.. and cached ?? has all memory that is reserved to caches
[10:28] <Aragon> can i pause the boot process... because when i start i throw an error but i cant read it... because it turns off so fast
[10:28] <simplexio> TheK_: so basicly in linux you dont have free memory. all memory is used to by prgrams, buffers or caches
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> shadeslayer: seems to be kde http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid-backports/net/quassel-data
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> simplexio: exactly
[10:28] <shadeslayer> ActionParsnip: that means it wont work properly with gnome,right??
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> TheK_: if you have empty ram then its not benefitting your system
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> shadeslayer: not at all, you will just have to install qt libs and some kde stuff
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> shadeslayer: depends on your view on bloat
[10:29] <shadeslayer> np
[10:29] <TheK_> simplexio: yes.. which is just as it should be.. I was concerned at a problem when running mythtv which is causing 'hickups' to the display.. and I kind of got lost in my train of thought :)
[10:29] <shadeslayer> i like bloat
[10:29] <shadeslayer> :P
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> shadeslayer: you can have a tonne of DE guff on your system and it will all run
[10:30] <TheK_> ActionParsnip, shadeslayer: thanks.
[10:30] <simplexio> TheK_: stalls ? when recording or when watching tv ?
[10:30] <TheK_> simplexio: watching and also when running mplayer
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> shadeslayer: you could install all the *buntu desktops you could find and all the apps from each would run
[10:30] <shadeslayer> :) but i have to run my cursor over the chat window to get the comments to appear
[10:30] <TheK_> simplexio: I recently upgraded ati drivers from 9.1 to 9.2 so I don't know if the problem persists though..
[10:30] <saadi559595> how to get permission of editing a .conf file?
[10:31] <simplexio> TheK_: my best quess is that in this case you get more information from %wa value, it tells if some program has to wait
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> Aragon: is it something like apature less the 4.00Gb or similar?
[10:31] <TheK_> simplexio: ok.. I will setup a monitor and do some measurements.
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> saadi559595: sudo gedit <the file>
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> oops
[10:31] <koshari> banisterfiend have you tried running a smaller area or lower quality rate,? what gpu are you using?
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> gksudo gedit <file>
[10:31] <saadi559595> hello action ...thanx again man :)
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> saadi559595: gksudo for gui apps, sudo for command line apps
[10:31] <banisterfiend> koshari: i have a shit computer homie
[10:32] <jussi01> !language | banisterfiend
[10:32] <shadeslayer> :O
[10:32] <shadeslayer> gnome recognises Fn+F3
[10:32] <banisterfiend> jussi01np man
[10:32] <shadeslayer> yayy
[10:33]  * shadeslayer checks out other shortcuts
[10:33] <koshari> banisterfiend you may find what you are trying to acheive is just not possable with your hardware if its ancient
[10:33] <simplexio> TheK_: if you have big value on %wa then it usually means that you have too much traffic to/from hardisk
[10:33] <TheK_> simplexio: ack
[10:33] <Aragon> ActionParsnip, what do you mean with the question... i am sry but my english isnt that good... :D i think it says something about modprobe but i am not sure
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> Aragon: np, run: dmesg | less      and read it
[10:34] <Mal3ko> how do you extract 7z files through terminal? which packgae i need?
[10:34] <Aragon> the problem is i cant get into the system at all... the maschine shut down at the boot progress
[10:34] <commander_> anyone got 9.04?
[10:35] <simplexio> Mal3ko: p7zip i think
[10:35] <shadeslayer> god i hate this
[10:35] <TecR0c> when you extract a tar.gz and you type tar -zxvf file.tar.gz how do you point it to the desination of where to extract the tar.gz file to ?
[10:35] <shadeslayer> im switching to pidgin
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> Aragon: then in grub, run the memory tester and also run fsck on your drives
[10:35] <simplexio> Aragon: when booting, edit grub bootoptions and remove silent from options
[10:36] <Aragon> ActionParsnip, and simplexio wait i am now trying to run Windows and find the error log...
[10:37] <Slart_> TecR0c: there is probably a switch or something.. have you looked in "man tar" ?
[10:37] <Slart_> TecR0c: I think that command extracts to the current folder
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> Aragon: you'l need http://www.fs-driver.org/ to read the partition
[10:37] <shadeslayer> how do i set the laptop to power save mode??
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> shadeslayer: i think if you: apt-cache search laptop   you may come up golden
[10:38] <shadeslayer> :O
[10:38] <shadeslayer> so many results
[10:39] <Slart_> shadeslayer: you mean suspend it?
[10:39] <Slart_> shadeslayer: or just change the power management settings
[10:39] <shadeslayer> no i mean like power save in windows
[10:40] <shadeslayer> yeah power management
[10:40] <TheK_> simplexio: It seems upgrading the ati driver might have solved the hickups after all. At least I haven't seen anything for a while now. Yet another problem fixed by trusting gut feeling. :P
[10:40] <banisterfiend> what's some other screencast software i can use besides record my desktop ?a
[10:40] <simplexio> shadeslayer: you mean hibernate/suspend to ram/suspend to disk ?
[10:40] <quibbler> commander_: try in #ubuntu+1
[10:40] <Slart_> shadeslayer: well.. I go to system, preferences, Power management
[10:40] <shadeslayer> simplexio: no, i mean power managing tools
[10:40] <redzheb> h
[10:41] <shadeslayer> ActionParsnip: you have kubuntu right??
[10:41] <shadeslayer> Slart_: no that is of no help
[10:41] <simplexio> shadeslayer: well check what Slart_  said. im not sure that if ther is option to change performance governor ..
[10:42] <shadeslayer> no like in KDE there are three modes
[10:42] <shadeslayer> Power save,Performance,Dynamic
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> shadeslayer: yes, but i run fluxbox
[10:42] <DavidVWallin> savvas: Thanks for helping out yesterday!
[10:42] <Slart_> shadeslayer: then I think you need to explain a bit more what you are trying to do.. more details.. and remember, many here haven't run windows for a long time
[10:42] <shadeslayer> np
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> shadeslayer: i still have system settings etc
[10:42] <streenz> hey I'm helping someone with their wireless drivers and I'm tryin to compile this thing and it comes up with "*** /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/build is missing, please set KERNELPATH. Stop."   why would she not have that, but I do?
[10:42] <savvas> DavidVWallin: you finally rebooted the machine eh? :P
[10:42] <DavidVWallin> quick question everyone. not really ubuntu-specific. Anyone know of a program that lets me capture any streaming sounds on my machine?
[10:42] <DavidVWallin> savvas: no wasn't that
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> streenz: you need your linux headers
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> streenz: for your current kernel
[10:43] <DavidVWallin> savvas: dont know if you told me to but i placed BusID "PCI:3:0:2:0" in the configfile
[10:43] <Slart_> !info streamripper | DavidVWallin
[10:43] <DavidVWallin> savvas: it was a conflict with busses
[10:43] <quibbler> banisterfiend: byzanz..istanbul
[10:43] <savvas> DavidVWallin: ah no, that was the other guy :)
[10:43] <shadeslayer> something like power devil for GNOME
[10:43] <DavidVWallin> savvas: still you both helped out a lot and didn't give up :) thanks a lot
[10:43] <streenz> ActionParsnip, sorry, how would I get the linux headers?
[10:43] <savvas> sure no problem
[10:44] <simplexio> DavidVWallin: if you use pulseaudio (i think us default now in ubuntu) you can make output-sink that writes all stuff you hear from speakers to harddisk, i think, newer even tryed something like that
[10:44] <oCean_> streenz: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[10:44] <streenz> oCean_, okay thanks
[10:44] <banisterfiend> quibbler: thanks homes, ill give it a go
[10:45] <DavidVWallin> simplexio: hmm, know where i can find more information about that?
[10:45] <disappearedng> Hey man
[10:45] <shadeslayer> !powerdevil
[10:45] <disappearedng> how do I tell my android to stop using GPRS
[10:45] <shadeslayer> !power devil
[10:45] <shadeslayer> :|
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> streenz: uname -r
[10:46] <simplexio> DavidVWallin: cant remeber, i think it was someking page which had perfsetup pulseudio, or something
[10:46] <grandrew> hi all! where do all the source packages go/unpack to? I did 'apt-get source iptables' and dont know where to find it now?
[10:46] <TecR0c> how do i use tar to unzip a file and extract it in a folder?
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> streenz: apt-cache search header <kernel version numbers>
[10:46] <MaT-dg> my usb-cam is '/dev/video1', how do I open the stream in vlc? with v4l or v4l2?
[10:47] <TecR0c> i looked in man tar but couldn't work it out
[10:47] <DavidVWallin> simplexio: okey, i'll confront google then :D
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> TecR0c: is it a .zip or a .tar.gz
[10:47] <TecR0c> tar.gz
[10:47] <grandrew> MaT-dg: depens on camera driver. Most likely v4l2 method
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> TecR0c: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=330618
[10:47] <ikonia> tertar zxvf tar.gz
[10:48] <simplexio> DavidVWallin: i think you find what you need with "pulseaudio and output-sink to .wav or something
[10:48] <ikonia> TecR0c: sorry - tar zxvf tar.gz
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> TecR0c: tar zxvf <file> -C /destination/folder
[10:48] <linxeh> TecR0c: tar xf file.tar.gz (modern tar automatically detects compression and adds j / z as appropriate)
[10:48] <shadeslayer> whats the network manager in GNOME??
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> TecR0c: if the dest folder is not yours yu will need sudo
[10:48] <zash> shadeslayer: "network manager"
[10:49] <TecR0c> i am copying from a cdrom to my home folder
[10:49] <shadeslayer> zash: nope,cant find it
[10:49] <shadeslayer> oh wait

[10:54] <Jazzinghen> 1) How do I tell Xorg to use a screen as the main screen? Because it seems like my PC won't let me do this and 2) (It's silly I know) how can I tell Xorg to use the same wallpaper on each monitor instead of stretching it between the two?
[10:54] <oCean_> exon: I did / do
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> !xinerama
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> Jazzinghen: for the wallpaper, Ive heard of people making a big wallpaper out of 2 so it goes between
[10:55] <shadeslayer> what's the command to see if my wifi hardware has been detected or not
[10:55] <Jazzinghen> Hm, yes, but
[10:56] <Jazzinghen> I'd like to use my wallpapers...
[10:56] <Aragon> ActionParsnip, it doesnt work... windows always says that one have to formate the partition... so can it be that there is something broken?
[10:56] <DesFire> iwconfig
[10:56] <DavidVWallin> is there a pulseaudio-output-device?
[10:56] <Aragon> ActionParsnip, and now the question is how can i run fsck ?
[10:56] <shadeslayer> thanks
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> Aragon: like i said, windows cant read ext3 natively, you need a program so it can, i gave you the link ealier
[10:57] <DesFire> did that work shade
[10:57] <Aragon> ActionParsnip, yea i installed it ;)
[10:57] <shadeslayer> yes
[10:57] <DesFire> cool
[10:57] <ftab> Nvidia drivers run better on Linux or windows?
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> Aragon: thats all i know about it
[10:57] <DesFire> i,m just learning commands
[10:57] <ftab> or there is no difference in terms of performance>
[10:57] <ftab> ?
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> ftab: depends on config and driver version
[10:58] <shadeslayer> DesFire: how do i find nearby wireless networks??
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> ftab: it varys wildly
[10:58] <Slart_> ftab: I think most drivers are more polished in windows
[10:58] <Aragon> ActionParsnip, ok... do you know how i can run fsck ?
[10:58] <DesFire> chech your network
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> Aragon: if you boot to the grub menu (esc at boot) you can drop to root console and do stuff
[10:58] <oCean_> shadeslayer: "iwlist scanning"
[10:58] <DesFire> check wireless networks?
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> oCean_: that needs sudo
[10:58] <bonhoffer> i am trying to create a usb boot disk --- but the utility says out of 954 mb only 199 are free
[10:58] <bonhoffer> i have deleted all files on the disk
[10:59] <Dimitree> How can i run such files ?  ELF 32-bit MSB executable, PowerPC or cisco 4500, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.19, dynamically linked (uses shared libs) ? When i try to run it, it says comman not found ?
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> !usb
[10:59] <ftab> Window is known to be best for 3D Games,not linux is that right, though I am using Ubuntu
[10:59] <shadeslayer> thanks
[10:59] <ftab> :)
[10:59] <Slart_> bonhoffer: emptied the trash?
[10:59] <bonhoffer> Slart_, yes
[10:59] <shadeslayer> :)
[10:59] <bonhoffer> and ActionParsnip, i am following those guides
[10:59] <bonhoffer> the problem is there is no room on my device
[10:59] <Slart_> ftab: since most games are written for windows I would say yes
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> bonhoffer: then install less apps
[11:00] <bonhoffer> no room for my live install
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> bonhoffer: use apt-get to remove unecessary apps, and run sudo apt-get clean to remove old debs
[11:00] <bonhoffer> ActionParsnip, i have deleted _all_ files
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> bonhoffer: then if you want it *blank* then format it
[11:00] <ftab> will there could be a commercial reason for that, or is that specific to performance and DirectX does well then OpenbGL
[11:00] <bonhoffer> ActionParsnip, not an apps issue -- this is my usb drive, thumb drive -- o.k. how can i format it
[11:00] <bonhoffer> /dev/sdb1
[11:01] <bonhoffer> (so it is bootable)
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> bonhoffer: what file system do you desire?
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> bonhoffer: you need to do a little more to make it bootable
[11:01] <bonhoffer> trying to rescue my eeepc 1000h that has a read-only filesystem
[11:01] <Slart_> ftab: I don't think there is a technical reason.. just commercial reasons.. but this is something better discussed in #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> bonhoffer: theres no format /s
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> bonhoffer: equiv in linux
[11:01] <bonhoffer> got it
[11:02] <bonhoffer> ActionParsnip, so how should i proceed -- i want my bios to boot from it
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> ftab: pm me
[11:02] <bonhoffer> into ubuntu
[11:02] <Dimitree> How can i run such files ?  ELF 32-bit MSB executable, PowerPC or cisco 4500, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.19, dynamically linked (uses shared libs) ? When i try to run it, it says command not found ?
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> bonhoffer: then boot from the cd, theres an install to usb option
[11:02] <bonhoffer> with the big goal of fixing my "read only file system"
[11:02] <shadeslayer> ActionParsnip: thats broken
[11:02] <bonhoffer> my eeepc 1000h does not have a cd drive
[11:02] <Slart_> Dimitree: you need to run stuff with a command like   ./yourfile
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> bonhoffer: do you have anoother pc?
[11:03] <shadeslayer> USB install from a live disk wont work
[11:03] <Dimitree> Slart_, thanks i will try that
[11:03] <ftab> ActionParsnip: how do I do that :(
[11:03] <bonhoffer> yes, i am on the pc that works now
[11:03] <shadeslayer>  hi,how can i set ubuntu to power save??
[11:03] <Dimitree> Slart_, it says  cannot execute binary file :(
[11:04] <Slart_> Dimitree: ok, try setting it to executable first.. chmod a+x yourfile ... then try again
[11:05] <Dimitree> Slart_, i have chmoded it to 755 and in Properties it is selected to alow it to be run
[11:05] <com-5> Sendy
[11:05] <Jazzinghen> Hum
[11:05] <Jazzinghen> Solved a problem
[11:05] <Slart_> Dimitree: then I guess it's not compiled for your system arcitechture
[11:05] <saadi559595> from where can i download themes for my ubuntu (gutsy)
[11:05] <oCean_> Dimitree: what's youur architecture
[11:05] <Dimitree> Ubuntu 8.10 32 bit ?
[11:06] <oCean_> Dimitree: executable seems to be for PPC
[11:06] <shadeslayer> !gnome
[11:06] <shadeslayer> hmm
[11:06] <Dimitree> oCean_, this means i can't run it under Ubuntu ?
[11:07] <oCean_> Dimitree: it's build for a PowerPC architecture. If you're on x86, that binary cannot run
[11:08] <Dimitree> oCean_, thank you :) i will try to find the correct one thank you Slart_
[11:08] <saadi559595> i am using ubuntu gutsy...i need various themes for my desktop...
[11:08] <Jazzinghen> Is it possible to configure Xorg to use the same wallpaper twice? Mostly beacause I have 2 different monitors, one that's 1280x1024 and the other is 1024x768...
[11:09] <oCean_> !themes > saadi559595

[11:12] <TecR0c> Does boxee work in vmware?
[11:12] <bonhoffer> ActionParsnip, so any recommendation -- to recovering my read-only file system?
[11:13] <Ast001> hi does anyone use ddclient and can login on members.dyndns.org ?
[11:13] <narcarsiss> i have a gparted problem with formatting a drive in ext2-3
[11:13] <saadi559595> how to find the gnome version of my system?
[11:13] <RocknRoll> any tools to boot a linux from pendrive?
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> bonhoffer: fstab will dictate if its read only or not, check your mounting options
[11:14] <oCean_> saadi559595: "gnome-about" command, it'll pop-up a window, also telling the version
[11:14] <dixon_> ow do I reload mysql on ubuntu to enable slow_query_log ? I've tried /etc/init.d/mysql --slow_query_log start but I get usage error on that
[11:14] <narcarsiss> saadi559595 right click panel and select about panels
[11:15] <RocknRoll> any solution to over come file missing bug in nmap
[11:15] <saadi559595> thanx
[11:15] <kraut> moin
[11:16] <TecR0c> RocknRoll what bug ?
[11:16] <narcarsiss> have a small problem in gparted may be a bug?
[11:16] <narcarsiss>  i have a 74GB raptor and when i go to create a ext2 or 3 partition it gives me a error and corrupts the hdd then i have to create a msdos partition to fix it then try again and same error
[11:16] <RocknRoll> TecR0c: some files script files missing
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> narcarsiss: did you md5 check your install media as well as verify the burned disk?
[11:17] <oCean_> dixon_: edit /etc/mysql/my.cnf --> uncomment log_slow_queries and restart mysql
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> narcarsiss: have you checked your ram
[11:17] <RocknRoll> TecR0c:  i thought may the problem with my system alone... But i read in many forums
[11:17] <Ademan> is it possible for me to add the jaunty repos, install a couple packages from them, then disable them (i'm currently on intrepid) or do i absolutely need a dist-upgrade in order for that to work?  (it's just python2.6 so i don't think the deps will run too deep)
[11:17] <RocknRoll> its a bug
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> narcarsiss: you could try some boot options
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | narcarsiss
[11:18] <narcarsiss> no it is a nother hdd in the system
[11:18] <narcarsiss> debian lenny works fine
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> narcarsiss: are you booting to a cd to do all this?
[11:18] <dixon_> oCean_, thanks! Is it possible in some way to do a graceful reload of mysql like you are able to do on apache?
[11:19] <ComradeHaz> dixon_: I have no idea, but can you not do it through init.d?
[11:19] <oCean_> dixon_: well, yes there is a "reload" option to /etc/init.d/mysql. But I'm not totally sure. You can try that of course :)
[11:19] <ComradeHaz> :)
[11:19] <narcarsiss> deleted a ntfs vista install off the hdd and want to format/create a partition in a linux format but gparted gives off error
[11:19] <ComradeHaz> isn't it restart?
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> narcarsiss: are you booting to a cd to do all this ?
[11:20] <ComradeHaz> extended patition?
[11:20] <hmw> narcarsiss the drive might still be mounted
[11:20] <dixon_> ComradeHaz, oCean_: I dont know if I want to try... I have aprox 1000 people on my site right now :P I'll try to reload it an early morning
[11:20] <narcarsiss> no it is with in debian
[11:20] <ComradeHaz> indeed, a live CD would probably help
[11:21] <ComradeHaz> ah, dixon_ :D
[11:21] <ComradeHaz> well
[11:21] <ComradeHaz> why not jump on the band wagon
[11:21] <ComradeHaz> I mean
[11:21] <ComradeHaz> google's down :D
[11:21] <FloodBot2> ComradeHaz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:21] <narcarsiss> cant unmount the hdd
[11:21] <ComradeHaz> you might as well join in the fun :D
[11:21] <dixon_> haha, yeah! I saw it on twitter
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> narcarsiss: ok thats cool, are there any partitions on the drive that you are trying to use with gparted that are mounted?
[11:21] <dixon_> ComradeHaz^
[11:21] <ComradeHaz> :D ;)
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> narcarsiss: run: mount in a terminal
[11:22] <narcarsiss> the hdd i am trying to create ext2 is mounted but cant unmount it
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> narcarsiss: make sure none of them are mounted
[11:22] <k3pp0> hi all, anyone got working b43 drivers on intrepid?
[11:22] <liza0> hello
[11:22] <k3pp0> i got a FATAL: Error inserting b43 (/lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/updates/drivers/net/wireless/b43/b43.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | k3pp0
[11:23] <hmw> narcarsiss some program locks it probably. close anything that acesses files on the partition
[11:23]  * ActionParsnip hates broadcom
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> narcarsiss: try: lsof /mount/point
[11:23] <k3pp0> me too ActionParsnip :) but i need it up and running somehow
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> narcarsiss: replace mount point with the ACTUAL mount point used
[11:23] <narcarsiss> can i go  unmount ?hdd? -o force
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> k3pp0: ndiswrapper
[11:23] <liza0> i would like to know if any of you use ubuntu for multimedia purposes like  for encoding videos, media sharing,etc..
[11:24] <sleepy_cat> hi
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> narcarsiss: its umount not uNmount
[11:24] <k3pp0> ActionParsnip,  no way, i need those b43 to set up 80211s
[11:24] <ComradeHaz> narcarsiss: use bash completion as a check you've typed right ;)
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> k3pp0: isnt .11s just adhoc wifi
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> k3pp0: IEEE 802.11s is a draft IEEE 802.11 amendment for mesh networking, defining how wireless devices can interconnect to create an ad-hoc network.  - Wikipedia (not hugely reliable but it will do)
[11:25] <Slart> liza0: I've converted a couple of dvd's to avi and the other way around
[11:26] <glitsj16> liza0: plenty of things you can do with ubuntu, for an overview of possibilities and applications, take a look at http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid
[11:26] <k3pp0> ActionParsnip, yep but 80211s can be enabled only on certain drivers, madwfi is not supported :/
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> k3pp0: ndiswrapper != madwifi
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> afaik
[11:27] <narcarsiss>  lsof /media/74GB gives out nothing
[11:27] <acegikmo> I hate to logon and just start asking for help, but does anyone have decent knowledge of sound systems and switches?
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> narcarsiss: then: sudo umount /media/74GB
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> narcarsiss: linux is case sensitive so check G and B are both capitalised
[11:28] <zetrac> ping
[11:28] <k3pp0> ActionParsnip, http://www.open80211s.org/trac
[11:28] <narcarsiss> tryed that gives me this cannot open /media/.hal-mtab
[11:28] <narcarsiss> yeah i have been using ubuntu since 6.10 :d just the server went through update
[11:29] <banisterfiend> hey guys im having serious problems with screencasts in linux....i've tried may programs now: record my desktop, istanbul, xvidcap, wink etc....and all of them say they have recorded the video fine, but when i try to play it back i just get a static screenshot of what i recorded with some kind of graphical glitches that appear on screen. kinda like it tried to record the video but it came out all screwy. what do i do, and what'
[11:29] <banisterfiend> s going wrong?!
[11:29] <Slart> acegikmo: it's probably better if you just ask the question you have directly.. perhaps someone knows but doesn't feel like he/she qualifies for "decent knowledge of sound systems and switches"
[11:29] <julian_> hi im thinking about using evolution under win and ubuntu as my mail client. can i put the mail folder of evolution on an ntfs partition and use that folder from both operating systems?
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> k3pp0: it doesnt actually state what it does
[11:30] <narcarsiss> Debian-NAS:/home/narcarsiss# sudo unmount /media/74GB
[11:30] <narcarsiss> sudo: unmount: command not found
[11:30] <exon> does anyone use nx from nomachien? could anyone help me ?
[11:30] <ziroday> banisterfiend: try ffmpeg -f x11grab -s wxga -r 25 -i :0.0 -sameq /tmp/out.mpg and don't record too long
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> narcarsiss: i keep telling you
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> narcarsiss: UMOUNT
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> narcarsiss: *NOT* UNMOUNT
[11:31] <narcarsiss> ahh sorry 10:30 pm here been up since 6:30 sorry
[11:31] <Slart> ActionParsnip: think of puppies.. and green grass.. and summer.. and take a loooong breath
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> i just hate repeating myself 3 times
[11:32] <narcarsiss> thats ok i will try to take more notice
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> np man
[11:32] <banisterfiend> ziroday: thanks
[11:32] <acegikmo> ok, after moving up to intrepid from hardy my thinkpad r61i started having sound troubles, specifically the sound worked but was quite distorted. Grainy/like when you turn a speaker up too loud. When I disabled the IEC958 switch and enabled the IEC958 Default PCM switch the issue resolved itself and my sound became clear. Recently, it has reverted to distortion and no combination of the two switches will fix the problem. Sound is something I know nothing
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> narcarsiss: you can copy / paste to terminal
[11:33] <banisterfiend> ziroday: will that try to capture the whole screen?
[11:33] <banisterfiend> ziroday: how do i stop teh record using that tool?
[11:33] <narcarsiss> Woot it's working
[11:33] <narcarsiss> who would of thort that unmounting would fix this :P
[11:34] <acegikmo> *pats narcarsiss on the head*
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> you cant work on a disk if its busy
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> mounting the partitions makes it busy
[11:34] <narcarsiss> ext2-3 witch better for torrent temp large files 700mb
[11:34] <narcarsiss> Purrrrrrrrr
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> narcarsiss: i'd stick to ext3 unless its a usb drive, then ext2
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> narcarsiss: ext3 == ext2 + journel
[11:35] <rnd8> hello
[11:35] <rnd8> How can I check wich updates was installed the last time?
[11:35] <acegikmo> ext2 is easier to access from win
[11:35] <acegikmo> for dual booting
[11:35] <narcarsiss> ok saves googeling
[11:35] <narcarsiss> thankyou
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> if you need a shared are for 2 OSes use NTFS

[11:36] <Athenon> I'm running ubuntu server in a VPS.  on boot, i get a number of strange errors...most things work fine, but I can tell that some things are definately fishy, and certainly related to these errors.  http://pastebin.com/m27cd5702
[11:37] <narcarsiss> this is a nas no need for NTFS
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> Athenon: i'd look at lines 23 to 26
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> narcarsiss: i have similar with a samba share
[11:38] <motin_0> I have a gamepad that is recognized as a joystick. now this wouldn't be too bad if not the device would send around 10-15 events/sec on axis 12 and 13, making it useless. is there any easy way to disable these axises? if a driver needs modification - what would be the likely driver to need to dive into?
[11:38] <commander_> 9.04 look gr8
[11:38] <IntuitiveNipple> Athenon: You're running it on a Xen hypervisor. You may need to use a para-virtualised kernel

[11:41] <shadeslayer> im asking in ##gnome too

[11:51] <glitsj16> coz_: depending on your setup either "sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop" or "killall pulseaudio" should do what you want
[11:51] <coz_> glitsj16, permanently?
[11:52] <Kultom> coz_ no. just until you start it again
[11:52] <redzheb> redzheb@redzheb-laptop:/usr/src/alsa$ mkdir -p /usr/src/alsa
[11:52] <redzheb> redzheb@redzheb-laptop:/usr/src/alsa$ mv alsa-* /usr/src/alsa
[11:52] <redzheb> mv: cannot stat `alsa-*': No such file or directory
[11:52] <coz_> Kultom,  anyway to stop it permanently?
[11:52] <glitsj16> coz_: ah no, not permanently ... if you are set to not using pulseaudio i guess you can remove it from your system all together
[11:53] <coz_> glitsj16,  ok I will remove it then
[11:53] <Kultom> coz_, I would guess something like sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio
[11:53] <coz_> glitsj16,  except some of the pacakges for pulseaudio also want to remove mplayer  orca and a bunch of other stufff
[11:55] <smt> hi guys, it would be nice if somebody could help me with my problem with 2 instances of gnome-panel (on different x-servers in a dual-head environment), whenever i try starting an application from the second instance of gnome-panel both instances freeze and i get an empty error-message window. only way to get the system back to work properly is a x-server restart
[11:55] <glitsj16> coz_: either use the command line to remove packages or use synaptic (gui) ... not wanting to doubt your reasons for removing pulseaudio, but if you find it hard to setup properly, take a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578
[11:55] <DesFire> where is the xp help channal
[11:55] <davide_> ciao
[11:56] <Myrtti> DesFire: ##windows
[11:56] <DesFire> ty
[11:56] <coz_> glitsj16,  no I have a pro sound card that requires a compiled alsa driver and pulsaudio is useless for me
[11:56] <glitsj16> coz_: i see, no problem :)
[11:56] <motin_0> when I plug one of my usb devices in, it says "usb 4-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice" in syslog. is there a way to see what these choices really are? maybe I can try another driver... or at least a debug driver?
[11:56] <davide_> !list
[11:57] <DesFire> its dead in there
[11:57] <nomingzi> sudo aptitude install hylafax-client  -- once it done, i cannot find it appear in my Menu, please advise. (whereis hylafax --> result: /etc/hylafax  /usr/lib/hylafax  /usr/lib64/hylafax  /usr/share/hylafax)
[11:58] <Myrtti> nomingzi: what about "which hylafax"
[11:58] <redzheb> anybody help me to move alsa driver from my desktop to the directory /usr/src/alsa
[11:58] <davide_> come si scarica
[11:58] <glitsj16> motin_0: running the command "lsusb" will give you an overview of usb in your system
[11:58] <nomingzi> Myrtti: it show nothing
[11:59] <dar_> elo
[11:59] <dar_> i have done a dists-upgrade on my ubuntu
[11:59] <Myrtti> nomingzi: and you've installed hylafax-client?
[11:59] <dar_> and since this time i can't connect to my vpn :(
[12:00] <Myrtti> nomingzi: oh, I c
[12:00] <dar_> (openvpn) it say me that my key is vulnerable and i can't conencty
[12:00] <dar_> ;(
[12:00] <dar_> is there a way to avoid taht problem
[12:00] <nomingzi> Myrtti: the hylafax is installed
[12:00] <glitsj16> motin_0: and lshw is another command, that will list drivers etc.
[12:00] <nomingzi> Myrtti: the hylafax-client is installed
[12:01] <Myrtti> nomingzi: it's not a GUI app, it seems
[12:02] <Myrtti> nomingzi: man hylafax-client
[12:02] <narcarsiss> Ok i cant mount a linux ext3 hdd? with sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/160-2 -o force
[12:03] <nomingzi> Myrtti: I m newbie - this software is introduced by someone - can u recommend me a good program that can send & receive fax ?
[12:04] <Myrtti> nomingzi: sorry, I don't do faxes myself. that program can send and receive faxes, it just doesn't have a graphical user interface, you'd need to use it via command line, ie. terminal.

[12:28] <batfastad> Hi guys, pretty new to Linux. Just logged on to my Ubuntu Server 8.04 box and got the following message: 1 failure since last login. What log do I need to check?
[12:28] <asdfkk> shadeslayer: what window manager do you run ? (gnome or kde)
[12:28] <shadeslayer> GNOME
[12:28] <asdfkk> batfastad: it means that there was a failed attempted at logigng in. that's al
[12:28] <shadeslayer> well KDE as well but i have the problem in GNOME
[12:28] <asdfkk> if you are running openssh / ssh and are on port 22 i suggest you change it.
[12:28] <mr_x> I installed the ability to play dvd's on my pc and now I can't stream audio any ideas
[12:29] <cousin_luigi> how do I add a fancy picture to grub?
[12:29] <shadeslayer> hehe
[12:29] <asdfkk> mr_x: restart pulse audio ?
[12:29] <DesFire> slayer whats the model of your pc again

[12:29] <pnema_> DOH, nevermind, wrong group
[12:29] <cousin_luigi> asdfkk: ok
[12:29] <asdfkk> batfastad: you would need to check /var/log/auth for that
[12:29] <shadeslayer> asdfkk: any idea??
[12:30] <shadeslayer> d-b-windowz: any idea how to resize those icons??
[12:30] <d-b-windowz> shadeslayer: not exactly no if i remember correctly its set in preferences for icon size

[12:30] <cousin_luigi> d-b-windowz: any ready-to-use artwork?
[12:31] <batfastad> asdfkk: Thanks, will check now. SSH is only accessible from the LAN, and I think I got the pw wrong earlier. Will check tho. Thanks for the hlp! :D
[12:31] <d-b-windowz> cousin_luigi: as in grub art ? as in some one elses that is already existing ?
[12:32] <cousin_luigi> d-b-windowz:exactly

[12:37] <shumpi> Im sorry, how do I save in a specific format?
[12:37] <zamba> how can i prevent a user from changing his/her password in ubuntu?
[12:37] <transporter> shumpi: well can i know what do u want to save?
[12:38] <shumpi> Uhm, furhter up in the chat I ondered about trying to save a png file in gimp in a downscaled size
[12:38] <newt-home> zamba restrict the sudo privileges for that user there is documentation regarding that ...
[12:39] <shumpi> because I was having trouble saving it after I only downscaled and saved
[12:39] <zamba> newt-home: sudo? but this isn't sudo-ing.. this is the user's own password?
[12:39] <zamba> newt-home: meaning the use of 'passwd'
[12:40] <shumpi> So I was told ﻿pick a format and just save into that
[12:40] <shumpi> ﻿e.g. resize, go save -> png ... done
[12:41] <shumpi> but am not managing to do that
[12:43] <Silicium> is there a way to create a Desktop Icon WHITOUT using any gui apps?
[12:43] <Silicium> i need that in some scripts

[12:48] <godowner> Have a question... on ubuntu 8.10 desktop, my welcome screen appears in strange resolution... where can i change that?
[12:48] <Silicium> Photoguy: yea, wonderful
[12:48] <Photoguy> Oh, I hand scrolled fdowm
[12:48] <Photoguy> *down
[12:48] <Photoguy> :P
[12:48] <d-b-windowz> godowner: its in preferences system -> login manager
[12:48] <Silicium> godowner: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:48] <Silicium> oh
[12:48] <Silicium> take d-b-windowz's solution
[12:48] <aldin> how to restart inetd?
[12:49] <d-b-windowz> sudo /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd restart ?
[12:49] <Silicium> /etc/init.d/xinetd restart
[12:49] <d-b-windowz> Silicium: which is it on 8.10 ?
[12:49] <Silicium> no idea :D

[12:50] <g16> how to install msttcorefonts manually withaout connected to internet?
[12:50] <Silicium> i just develop actually a liveCD based on ubuntu
[12:50] <Silicium> g16 tell a friend to download and print it out
[12:50] <godowner> err no under pref. you can't change resolution...
[12:50] <Silicium> then insert the hex code in hexer
[12:50] <godowner> ill try siliciums idea :)
[12:51] <georgeaf> hey guys, compiz doesn't run now after enabling the "GlxVisuals all" option in xorg.conf. I needed that option to enable a game to run and now compiz can't find it's previous visuals. Any solution for that ? Please help
[12:51] <Silicium> georgeaf: user windowmaker as WM
[12:51] <marlene1984> hej ho, does anyone know, how to tell some screenlets not to run at startup?
[12:52] <d-b-windowz> Silicium: that isn't helping
[12:52] <ezerhoden> g16: that package pulls all the fonts from the net, do you have all the packages on CD??
[12:52] <d-b-windowz> marlene1984: its in the screenlets control / manager
[12:52] <Silicium> the mscorefonts are downloaded from the MS server and installed with a custom ubuntu script
[12:52] <Silicium> so you need to fetch de deb package and check the script for the download path
[12:53] <Silicium> i think
[12:53] <smt> somebody here who could help me fix my problem with freezing gnome-panels when starting an application from the panel on second x-screen?
[12:53] <godowner> Hmm no silicium resolution isn't in /etc/X11/ either...
[12:53] <g16> ezerhoden:i have the Ubuntu CD (8.10) and the extras? where is the packages?
[12:53] <Silicium> godowner: i know, ubuntu doent handle that like it should be
[12:53] <g16> i am very new in linux
[12:53] <ezerhoden> g16: they will not be on the cd
[12:53] <Silicium> g16: in the internet
[12:53] <marlene1984> d-b-windowz: thanks, but there i find just the normal entry of the calender, but it starts it double at startup! and i just wanted to run one of the calenders at startup.. but there are not 2 entries for that
[12:54] <Silicium> apt-get --download install mscorefontsblah
[12:54] <Silicium> then you have the fooocorefonts.deb package
[12:54] <Silicium> that one you can open with the Ark archive manager
[12:54] <georgeaf> Silicium: what's windowmaker ?
[12:54] <cw> hi, is there any german samba #
[12:55] <d-b-windowz> cw /list samba ?
[12:55] <Silicium> georgeaf: georDescription: NeXTSTEP-like window manager for X
[12:55] <g16> i see. Is it correct that we can use the windows font in ubuntu by copying the /Windows/Fonts/*.TTF then pasted in home folder under the .fonts folder?
[12:55] <ezerhoden> g16: but the general idea is that if you get all the packages i think you can put them in /var/cache/apt/archives/ and then apt-get install msttcorefonts
[12:55] <georgeaf> Silicium: any other solution ? something like a way for getting all fbconfigs and visuals as before with the old X ?
[12:55] <Silicium> georgeaf: yes
[12:55] <Silicium> err
[12:55] <Silicium> g16: yes
[12:56] <Silicium> g16 just copy you windows fonts to /home/<user>/.fonts/
[12:56] <Silicium> maybe you need to create .fonts first
[12:56] <Silicium> (its a hidden .file directory)
[12:56] <g16> so if i do that then my msttcorefonts is complete?
[12:56] <d-b-windowz> Silicium: again not really helping...
[12:56] <blueskynis> Hi guys! Does anyone here have some experience with VirtualBox?
[12:56] <d-b-windowz> you don't need microsoft fonts for _most_ things
[12:56] <Silicium> g16: if you copy the right fonts into it, yes
[12:56] <d-b-windowz> blueskynis: some but not much, why ?
[12:57] <g16> i copy all fonts under /windows/fonts
[12:57] <blueskynis> I have a question about it's performance...do you know that kind of stuff?
[12:57] <Silicium> ok
[12:57] <Silicium> Windowmaker is a Replacement for Gnome
[12:57] <Silicium> is not a Desktop Environment, is just a Window Manager
[12:57] <reisi> blueskynis: just ask, don't ask to ask
[12:57] <Silicium> lightweight
[12:57] <d-b-windowz> blueskynis: maybe
[12:57] <Silicium> fast
[12:57] <d-b-windowz> but virtualbox is fast.
[12:57] <blueskynis> OK, here it goes... I want to upgrade my CPU and I have a question regarding VirtualBox's performance with different CPUs? Like, is it better to get an AMD X2 with VT instruction set or a faster Pentium like E2200 or E5200??
[12:57] <J-_> When installing Ubuntu, does having your ethernet cable plugged in make a difference when you're installing? It refers to something like, "couldn't find a connection, retry, ignore, etc..". Does it affect anything after in regards to when the installation is finished?
[12:57] <Silicium> virtualbox sucks
[12:57] <g16> thanks
[12:58] <Silicium> just use kvm
[12:58] <Ongavezirr> Jo reggelt elvtarsak
[12:58] <Silicium> with kvm kernel modules
[12:58] <d-b-windowz> you want hardware virtualisation if you want to use kvm.
[12:58] <Geforce88> what is the support (if any) channel for ubuntu 9.04 ?
[12:58] <d-b-windowz> but .. virtualbox is fine on either really.
[12:58] <d-b-windowz> ubuntu+1
[12:58] <reisi> blueskynis: afaik the virtualizing instruction sets on both processors are equally good
[12:58] <Geforce88> ty
[12:58] <mulch> hi
[12:59] <blueskynis> but Pentium E2200 and E5200 series do not have VT instructions :-/
[12:59] <g16> again i can't access my USB devices from Windows Guest in VirtualBox. How?
[12:59] <mulch> i have a problem that ubuntu will not see my usb memory stick
[12:59] <d-b-windowz> blueskynis: doesn't matter for vbox as much.
[12:59] <reisi> blueskynis: are you sure they don't have intel's own instructions?
[12:59] <mulch> it sees others just not this one
[12:59] <Silicium> argh
[12:59] <Silicium> bye need to work again
[12:59] <d-b-windowz> mulch: lsusb ?
[12:59] <d-b-windowz> and dmesg ... show any thing useful ?
[12:59] <blueskynis> they have it only on Core2Duo's like E64xx, E8400 or higher
[13:00] <reisi> blueskynis: now come to think of what cpu's you were asking, don't buy neither
[13:00] <d-b-windowz> blueskynis: try get something with hardware virtualisation.
[13:00] <mulch> d-b-windowz: i'll give it ago
[13:00] <blueskynis> so, it looks like VT does not give huge speed bumps?
[13:00] <Sintaku> man i can never get nx working >_<
[13:01] <reisi> blueskynis: afaik vt-instructions have made virtualbox faster, perhaps you could inquire this on their mailinglist or somewhere
[13:01] <d-b-windowz> blueskynis: not really..... virtualbox didn't even suggest it til later / said it wasn't that useful to them
[13:01] <d-b-windowz> if i remember correctly
[13:01] <reisi> blueskynis: or read up on those instructions, look at the source of virtualbox, how are those instructions used
[13:02] <blueskynis> OK, I will keep digging about it but the info about performance in VirtualBox is scarce...
[13:02] <reisi> blueskynis: but all cpu's you listed are very outdated already, why not buy something that has some speed value at least for a week
[13:02] <d-b-windowz> http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Developer_FAQ
[13:02] <blueskynis> money?
[13:02] <blueskynis> :-/
[13:03] <blueskynis> heck, I am only a student ;)
[13:03] <reisi> blueskynis: use all your money to buy crap that will be outdated when you buy it or save up until you can buy something decent with good performance/buck ratio
[13:03] <d-b-windowz> blueskynis: and cpus are cheap
[13:03] <d-b-windowz> buy 2
[13:03] <reisi> blueskynis: i'm also a student, though i work about 50hrs per week :)
[13:04] <d-b-windowz> reisi: eeep how ?
[13:04] <Photoguy> I need libopenal0a to install a game, but it doesn't install via get-apt.
[13:04] <reisi> d-b-windowz: well.. as i've always been working since like 6 years old always getting my own money working hard is not a problem
[13:05] <reisi> d-b-windowz: but nowdays everything is much easier.. it's easier to code 50hrs on week than to work at a warehouse 50-80hrs per week
[13:05] <blueskynis> well, money is the problem in my country...nevermind, thanks for the help
[13:05] <distupgrade> Does Ubuntu support distupgrade?
[13:06] <blueskynis> cheers reisi & d-b-windows :)
[13:06] <d-b-windowz> distupgrade: ... apt-get dist-upgrade
[13:06] <distupgrade> d-b-windowz: yeah, but does it work like it does in Debian?
[13:06] <d-b-windowz> yeah but they prefer it if you use sudo update-manager -d (unless you are going to a beta / alpha ubuntu)
[13:07] <reisi> blueskynis: np :)
[13:07] <d-b-windowz> as that will switch the sources list for you, remove extra stuff and blah
[13:07] <Photoguy> I need libopenal0a to install a game, but it doesn't install via get-apt, it just says libopenal1 replaces it.
[13:07] <d-b-windowz> Photoguy: so your game is outdated ?
[13:07] <reisi> i'd recommend backup + full re-install rather than dist upgrade, what ever the os
[13:08] <d-b-windowz> reisi: never
[13:08] <Photoguy> Yes, but I have trouble with other games to.
[13:08] <Geforce88> on 8.10 where is the option to manually set up the video drivers? used to be called "screens and graphs or something (?))
[13:08] <d-b-windowz> don't be silly reisi
[13:08] <distupgrade> Does it make sense for anyone to stay with 8.04 ?
[13:09] <d-b-windowz> distupgrade: yes
[13:09] <reisi> d-b-windowz: no, really.. you get rid of all stuff everyone has been hoarding on the system and have a chance to start up from clean state, rather than to hope everything goes nice
[13:09] <d-b-windowz> reisi: ....................................never
[13:09] <Kristof_D> when I open a new window, it's titlebar is out of screen. (emerald + compiz) Can anyone tell me what to do about this?
[13:09] <d-b-windowz> reisi: we have apt-get for a reason.
[13:09] <d-b-windowz> reinstalling is a windows thing.
[13:10] <reisi> d-b-windowz: you've never had a distupgrade or ubuntu distribution upgrade go bad, really bad?
[13:10] <d-b-windowz> reisi: i use debian more than ubuntu.
[13:10] <d-b-windowz> so no.
[13:10] <d-b-windowz> never.
[13:10] <Kartagis> when I am connected to a samba share, the laptop takes sooooo long to shutdown. any ideas why?
[13:10] <Slart> Kristof_D: try holding alt while click dragging on the window
[13:11] <heath|work> Can anyone point me to some video screen capture programs for ubuntu?
[13:11] <Slart> Kristof_D: you should be able to move the window that way
[13:11] <Kristof_D> Slart: that helps to get the titlebar visible, but when I open the next window, it's misplaced again
[13:11] <sipior> d-b-windowz: agreed. advising a reinstall every six months says "our software is not very good"
[13:11] <d-b-windowz> heath|work: grecordmydesktop i think is one.
[13:11] <distupgrade> On Debian, dist-upgrade is probably safer than a fresh install. But I've never done it on Ubuntu yet.
[13:11] <ronin_> whats a better graphical editor than gedit? It seems to go unresponsive after i use it for about 5 hours... and the find is horribly old fashioned
[13:11] <d-b-windowz> sipior: yeah. distupgrade i have its fine.
[13:11] <Slart> Kristof_D: hmm.. is it all windows? or just one specific program?
[13:11] <Kristof_D> Slart: there should be a more permanent solution
[13:12] <OptimusPrime> You use a text editor for 5 hours?
[13:12] <Slart> ronin_: I like scite or editra
[13:12] <ronin_> yes bash scripting
[13:12] <Kristof_D> Slart: a lot of windows, it seems to be quite random
[13:12] <d-b-windowz> ronin_: try kate
[13:12] <Slart> ronin_: besides the obvious choices.. emacs/vi and so on
[13:12] <arvind_khadri> hi , i used startup manager to configure the usplash , but now its not showing up...
[13:12] <sipior> OptimusPrime: some of us base our livelihoods on text editors :-)
[13:12] <reisi> d-b-windowz: well, it was debian 3 -> 4 that i once fucked up, while i was much less experienced with all this (nowdays admin few linux servers) i still haven't figured out what went wrong.. and have thought since that if debian distupgrade can fail so can everything else :)
[13:12] <d-b-windowz> !language
[13:13] <frostburn> carpenters don't blame their tools
[13:13] <d-b-windowz> reisi: right... mmm that's nice to know. but doesn't happen without an rc bug getting filed in debian.
[13:14] <Geforce88> on 8.10 where is the option to manually set up the video drivers? used to be called screens and graphs or something ?
[13:14] <ronin_> i'm happy enough with vim but find graphical editors don't give me a head ache from looking at them for hours.. thanks i'll look at those others
[13:15] <ronin_> gedit is disappointing after years of notepad++
[13:15] <jrib> ronin_: there's gvim if you just have an issue with the terminal for some reason
[13:15] <d-b-windowz> ronin_: notepad++ is disappointing after years of gedit
[13:15] <Boohbah> ronin_: if vim gives you a headache perhaps you need to adjust your terminal colors :)
[13:15] <Kristof_D> When I open a window, it appears with it's titlebar out of screen, can move the window, but it's quite anoying. I use compiz and emerald. Anyone with a clue about what to do?
[13:15] <d-b-windowz> ronin_: to be honest notepad++ sucks it can't open my 50mb log files ^^
[13:16] <ronin_> d-b-windowz: It's never balked at my 1gig irc logs
[13:17] <d-b-windowz> ronin_: funny as it crashes for me with anything above 20mb
[13:17] <d-b-windowz> go try again.
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo

[13:20] <therootest> hello. i have ubuntu and i want to install vista and make the system dual boot. i format a partition to fat32 through GPARTED but when i try to install vista on it, the vista says it is no suitable media for installing and quits installation.
[13:20] <Slart> therootest: sounds like a vista problem.. are you sure it can be installed on FAT32 ?
[13:20] <d-b-windowz> therootest: try #windows
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> therootest: if you have the space unpartitioned the installer will offer to use it
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> therootest: either way, its not an ubuntu issue
[13:22] <shadeslayer> hi,how do i resize all the desktop icons all at once
[13:22] <heath|work> d-b-windowz, thanks that's perfect!
[13:22] <d-b-windowz> you could just use virtualbox to virtualise vista
[13:23] <shadeslayer> d-b-windowz: that didnt work
[13:23] <ActionParsnip> d-b-windowz: i;d run it native, it needs all the extra speed it can get
[13:23] <d-b-windowz> ActionParsnip: actually it ran fine on my comp in virtualbox.
[13:23] <therootest> ok, thanks guys.
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> d-b-windowz: ive ran it about a month and thought it sucked,way slower than any of my other system installs
[13:24] <lanoxx-> whats the name of the default pdf viewer in gnome again?
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> gpdf
[13:24] <grandrew> hi all! Is there anything like "/etc/init.d/iptables save" or other iptables - save/restore auto script in ubuntu?
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> xpdf
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> acroread
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> !iptables
[13:25] <d-b-windowz> !ufw
[13:25] <sipior> lanoxx-: evince, as i recall
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> !pdf
[13:25] <d-b-windowz> ... ubuntu firewall ...
[13:25] <Slart> grandrew: I think there is a iptables-save and iptables-restore
[13:25] <lanoxx-> right, thx
[13:25] <berry__> hi. Is there some way I can find the date on which my ubuntu was installed?
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> grandrew: type iptab then press tab a few times, see what comes out
[13:25] <grandrew> Slart: iptables-save isn't a system boot script but just a stupid iptables package utility
[13:25] <George2> hi
[13:26] <d-b-windowz> berry__:  interesting question ... probaly go ls -la / and see what the earliest time is... listed
[13:26] <sipior> berry__: have a look at the creation date of some basic system files.
[13:26] <George2> i'm trying to install the latest eclipse, but the one in apt-get is older than i want to install. i've downloaded the tgz, but now, how do i install?
[13:26] <arvind_khadri> like vga=791 is for 1024x768 is there a number for 1440x900 ?
[13:26] <berry__> sipior: I just figured that out ;)  Thanks a bundle!
[13:26] <sipior> berry__: actually, look in /var/log/installer
[13:26] <shadeslayer> how do i resize all my desktop icons
[13:27] <syockit> George2: just untar and run, provided that you have all dependencies installed
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> berry__: as long as you havent made a new file, you could look at the creation date of your first users ~/.bashrc
[13:27] <George2> syockit:  run whaT?
[13:27] <d-b-windowz> sipior: that exists ? ... cool
[13:27] <syockit> George2: I untarred mine and ran eclipse/eclipse
[13:27] <George2> syockit:  just the bin?
[13:27] <Ape> Read the arvind_khadri's question and say is there the same thing for 1680x1050.
[13:27] <d-b-windowz> i was thinking logrotate might move stuff...
[13:28] <godowner> Just another thing... I have Disk in 3 partitions, on one of those is ubuntu but the thing is on other two there is NTFS file system and in ubuntu it manages to open only from time to time, why is that?!
[13:28] <shadeslayer> guys any idea??
[13:28] <neshaug> quick q, how do I print my current path / disk location in the cmd again?
[13:28] <syockit> pwd
[13:28] <neshaug> thanks
[13:29] <grandrew> shadeslayer: just google it, I've come across the topic several times
[13:29] <disappearedng> hey how do I add something in my registry in wine
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> disappearedng: run regedit in terminal
[13:29] <Slart> disappearedng: run regedit
[13:30] <godowner> Just another thing... I have Disk in 3 partitions, on one of those is ubuntu but the thing is on other two there is NTFS file system and in ubuntu it manages to open only from time to time, why is that?! Please... It gives error unable to mount
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> godowner: do you have btfs3g installed?
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> 1ntfs3g | godowner
[13:31] <godowner> no i don't think so...
[13:31] <frux> hi t here
[13:31] <godowner> what is that ^^
[13:31] <frux> anyone familiar with wireshark ?
[13:31] <godowner> Hello frux...
[13:32] <arvind_khadri> i used startup manager to change the usplash, now i cant see it... any ideas?
[13:32] <Slart> !ntfs3g | godowner
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> gah
[13:32] <Slart> =)
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> Slart: foiled again
[13:32] <godowner> thenks mate
[13:32] <godowner> Just something else... does it work any slower if i install that?
[13:32] <frux> someone in here uses wireshark ?
[13:33] <sipior> frux: what question did you have?
[13:33] <Slart> frux: just ask the question
[13:33] <Slart> !ask | frux
[13:33] <blueskynis> About VBOX: Their home page does not state any speed improvement with VT-x. Also I found this article: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/10/01/should-you-enable-intels-vt-x-in-virtualbox/
[13:33] <blueskynis> (in case you were curious)
[13:33] <frux> i want ip address resoultion
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> frux: ping -A <ip address>
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> frux or nslookup <ip address>
[13:34] <frux> yes i know ;)
[13:34] <frux> i mean in the wireshark capturelist
[13:34] <frux> every ip should be resolved
[13:35] <blueskynis> it's little dated though..
[13:35] <blueskynis> just noticed it
[13:35] <sipior> frux: under "View", is there not an entry for name resolution?
[13:35] <arvind_khadri> i used startup manager to change the usplash, now i cant see it... any ideas?
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> frux: then i'v no idea, you could pipe what wireshark finds to a grep / awk then nslookup that
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> frux: its not something i use
[13:36] <DarkKnight> hey can anyone help me..when i try to install ubuntu i get messages containing several logical errors..
[13:36] <frux> sipior: i marked all entries there
[13:36] <arvind_khadri> Jack_Sparrow, i used startup manager to change the usplash, now i cant see it... any ideas?
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> DarkKnight: did you md5 check your iso that you downloaded as well as verify the burned cd was ok in the first screen of the cd bootup?
[13:37] <frux> sipior: but it doesnt resolute the ip-adress at all
[13:37] <Jack_Sparrow> arvind_khadri resolution on those and depth can be tricky to setup.  No I dont bother changing them
[13:37] <DarkKnight> ActionParsnip; the cd was fine..i used it to install in other systems as well
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> !bootoption | DarkKnight
[13:38] <frux> sipior : it's working fine now
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> DarkKnight: try some boot options like noacpi and nodma, try disabling some hardware in bios
[13:38] <Jack_Sparrow> DarkKnight Even if a cd if fine, it still may be bad.  Example .. HP and Dell computers..  require the cd to be burned at slowest possible speed..yes even if they self test fine
[13:39] <frux> sipior: thx ;). do you know if it uses dns cache ?
[13:39] <dbenson> does anyone know how to unmap <F1> so that it does NOT trigger the help app?
[13:39] <Jack_Sparrow> DarkKnight To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F4 and select safe graphics mode then press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--"
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> DarkKnight: what speed did you burn it at?
[13:39] <Jack_Sparrow> and is it a Dell or HP
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> Jack_Sparrow: nice one
[13:40] <Jack_Sparrow> ActionParsnip ty
[13:40] <Jack_Sparrow> ActionParsnip amazing how I can type so fast eh?
[13:40]  * ActionParsnip is betteing as fast as possible on my billion speed writer
[13:40] <sipior> frux: i'm sure it makes use of the system resolver library, so it will use the cache if you've configured bind properly.
[13:40] <DarkKnight> ActionParsnip; i dont remember but it was used to install in many systems
[13:40] <DarkKnight> ActionParsnip; and i also have a ubuntu cd from LFY magazine
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> DarkKnight: maybe this one doesnt like it. I'd try the boot options etc
[13:41] <frux> sipior: to my shame i use xp atm ^^
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> DarkKnight: failing that, burn a new disk at about 4x and you'll be reet
[13:41] <DarkKnight> Jack_Sparrow; nice to hear from you after a long time....i quite didn't understand that Quiet and Splash thing
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions

[13:59] <ActionParsnip> Weeltin: gksudo gedit /etc/snmpd.conf
[13:59] <hwilde> I have two monitors running two separate X displays.  If I am working in the right monitor the whole thing will dim and go to sleep mode, unless I move the mouse or focus on left monitor.  How can I get it to recognize activity in both xscreens and not powersave ?
[13:59] <TADS> yes i have a rFactor server open
[13:59] <Blinny> I'm using Hardy now in an IDE box and I can't hdparm my drives any more.
[14:00] <Pcimkeller> ActionParsnip: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/105175/
[14:00] <Blinny> (UPgrade from FC6)
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> freegoo: well you could write it elsewhere then cp it in
[14:00] <onthefence9282> hwilde: turn off powersave
[14:00] <hwilde> I want it to powersave appropriately.
[14:00] <TADS> ActionParsnip: i can see the server from the server l;ist in game but cannot connect with ip
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> Pcimkeller: is the soundcard onboard sound?
[14:01] <Rabbitbunny> Blinny: any faster or anymore? I'm pushing multiple legacy Dells Some don't even have EIDE. hdparm wokrs fine (if fine is ~12 - 19 mbps.
[14:01] <Pcimkeller> ActionParsnip: no the Soundcard is a special part of the computer. (IS)
[14:01] <Pcimkeller> (ISA)
[14:01] <[ifroog]> How do i overburn an image file using Brasero?
[14:02] <Blinny> Rabbitbunny: No won't work anymore - (HDIO_SET_32BIT failed: Invalid argument) -- I'm seeing  2-6mbps
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> Pcimkeller: i'd check in bios that the isa bus is enabled
[14:03] <Rabbitbunny> oh. that's a real problem.
[14:03] <Blinny> Rabbitbunny: Seems like libATA changed things quite a bit
[14:03] <freegoo> ActionPaversnip: I have like 200 files, surely there is just a simple command i can run. and it wil save an md5 hash into a file.
[14:03] <Blinny> I've read about blacklisting the module and enabling piix in initramfs but I'm afraid; this is a remote server and I got teh fearz.
[14:03] <hwilde> freegoo, man md5sum
[14:03] <zhai> guys.. is there any turboC here in ubuntu?
[14:03] <Pcimkeller> ActionParsnip: I believe my ISA bus is enabled because when I have my Windos HD on, The sound works.
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> Pcimkeller: fair point
[14:04] <shadeslayer> hey how do i run the script mentioned here
[14:04] <hwilde> Blinny, out of curiousity how are you measuring the 2-6mbps ?
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> Pcimkeller: hmmm, id have a read of:   dmesg | less
[14:04] <shadeslayer>  http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=6199
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> Pcimkeller: you can see your system boot and hardware come up
[14:04] <Blinny> hwilde: using hdparm -t -- I know this isn't entirely accurate, but it's a ballpark.
[14:05] <zhai> any one?
[14:05] <hwilde> Blinny, what are you doing to generate io
[14:05] <Pcimkeller> ActionParsnip: but how can I see my system boot, without to rebootj.
[14:05] <Duke_Nukem> hi
[14:05] <Pcimkeller> ActionParsnip: isa is on
[14:05] <Blinny> See http://linux-ata.org/faq.html
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> Pcimkeller: run the command, and read down
[14:05] <hwilde> zhai, google for "ubuntu turboC"
[14:05] <shadeslayer> anyone??
[14:05] <Pcimkeller> ActionParsnip: which comand
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> zhai: if you install build-essential you will get a full C++ and C environment
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> Pcimkeller: dmesg | less
[14:05] <[ifroog]> How do i overburn an image file using Brasero?
[14:05] <Blinny> "PIO taskfile data transfer, a.k.a. I/O data transfer, is only used for rare, slow-path commands such as IDENTIFY DEVICE or SMART READ. 16-bit I/O was hardcoded into libata because this supports the maximal number of controllers with the least amount of code."
[14:05] <arvind_khadri> !anyone | shadeslayer
[14:06] <hwilde> [ifroog], it has an overburn option man...
[14:06] <shadeslayer> i did duh!!
[14:06] <hwilde> shadeslayer, it tells you exactly what commands to run on that webpage...
[14:06] <Blinny> hwilde: I'm not sure I understand your question
[14:06] <[ifroog]> hwilde, where?
[14:07] <shadeslayer> hwilde: there's a script down there,how do i run that'
[14:07] <zhai> thnxs guys.. gonna check it out
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> Pcimkeller: its a tonne of text but thats your kernel log, loading drivers, bringing up devices
[14:07] <hwilde> shadeslayer, type in exactly what that page tells you.    that's not really supported here anyways
[14:07] <r0dr1g0> kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
[14:07] <mnd-> Hi, in what package is that "Xorg setup tool", that provides a gui for configuring displays and multiple screens ?
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> mnd-: it was thrown out in gutsy :(
[14:08] <mnd-> ah
[14:08] <shadeslayer> hwilde: ok,so do i need to logout or can i use terminal??
[14:08] <mnd-> is there any gui now ?
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> mnd-: if you have an nvidia card, you can use nvidia-settings
[14:08] <mnd-> well I've got ati
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> !ati | mnd
[14:08] <Pcimkeller> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/122384/
[14:08] <hwilde> [ifroog], just add stuff until you get over the limit, and it will tell you either remove stuff or overburn
[14:09] <hwilde> shadeslayer, you shouldn't mess with that if you have no idea what you're doing... just add wallpaper the normal way
[14:09] <mnd-> ah ok
[14:09] <shadeslayer> hwilde: ok
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> Pcimkeller: press the down cursor a few times
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> Pcimkeller: theres lots more than that
[14:10] <hwilde> shadeslayer, you can download *any* image, open it in image viewer, and in the Image menu there is an option "set as wallpaper".  It's very easy
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> Pcimkeller: and why are you running ubuntu ultimate?
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> !ultimate | Pcimkeller
[14:11] <shadeslayer> hwilde: but different wallpapers on different desktops
[14:11] <glitsj16> shadeslayer: have you seen http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/07/28/stackswitch-and-wallpaper-plugins-with-compiz-076/ ? it has some info on setting up compiz wallpaper plugin.
[14:11] <TADS> any wine guru's here?
[14:11] <frank_b> can anyone tell me how can I put inside a startup script the equivalent of the command "watch amule" in a terminal?
[14:11] <Slart> TADS: they are probably in #winehq
[14:11] <hwilde> !wine | TADS
[14:12] <shadeslayer> and btw i see alot of these themes with docks below
[14:12] <shadeslayer> how do i enable that
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> !dock
[14:12] <hwilde> frank_b,     gnome-terminal -e "watch amule"
[14:12] <shadeslayer> :P
[14:12] <Pcimkeller> ActionParsnip: I'M running Ubuntu Ultimate??
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> shadeslayer: try: apt-caches search dock
[14:13] <Pcimkeller> ActionParsnip: I'm running Xubuntu
[14:13] <TADS> thanks
[14:13] <freegoo> ok guys sorry maybe i am not beimng clear. i can use  md5sum "md5sum test.log > test.md5" to create. but i need to do this for every file in a folder. like 200 files. there must be a mass create command
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> Pcimkeller: says in that boot screen, hmmm weird
[14:13] <frank_b> hwilde, ok, thank you. I'll try it
[14:13] <Pcimkeller> oh, could it be that i have the OEM-Installation
[14:14] <hwilde> shadeslayer, this tutorial seems to be much more straightforward to get different desktop backgrounds:  http://anuragbansal.wordpress.com/2008/05/10/how-to-get-different-wallpapers-on-each-workspace-in-ubuntu/
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> Pcimkeller: here's mine: http://pastebin.com/f4971e488
[14:14] <shadeslayer> hwilde: thanks
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> Pcimkeller: where did you get your cd from?
[14:15] <Pcimkeller> from the internet
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> Pcimkeller: whatever...anyways read down the dmesg output and you will see some interesting bits about sound.
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> Pcimkeller: i think you have downloaded the Ultimate Ubuntu which isnt an official release
[14:16] <shadeslayer> hwilde: Advanced Desktop Effect Setting  whats that
[14:16] <Pcimkeller> ActionParsnip: okay....... i remove Xubntu from my HD and install a normal Xubuntu version
[14:16] <kbfz> hi guys
[14:16] <Cyntek> hey all, good morning. I am running ubuntu-server 8.10 for home storage, and I have two additional windows hard drive with media on them, but when i insert the hard drives internally, Ubuntu-server during loading says Bus error. how can i get these drives to recognize on ubuntu-server 8.10.?
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> Pcimkeller: its up to you if you want to be supported in the official room, someone may support you in #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:17] <kbfz> it's night now
[14:17] <Cyntek> morning in SOCAL.
[14:17] <Pcimkeller> ActionParsnip: Can I chose my Xubuntu version without reinstall it
[14:17] <Cyntek> Please back to my question.
[14:18] <Pcimkeller> ActionParsnip: or is it just the kernel
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> Pcimkeller: ive no idea, all I know is that its not an official release so is not officially supported in the official room
[14:18] <hwilde> !xubuntu
[14:19] <Pcimkeller> okay then Thank you for your help. I chose my Xubuntu version and then... bye
[14:19] <Cyntek> Xfce is uses less memory than Gnome or KDE.
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> xfce is awesome
[14:19] <Cyntek> yes. it is. i love it .
[14:19] <hwilde> personally I like icewm :)
[14:19] <hwilde> but I am an old school solaris minimialist
[14:20] <Cyntek> i would like to try out e17
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> i prefer fluxbox though. It has nice shortcut key mapping
[14:20] <frank_b> hwilde, very nice, almost there. as I suspected, interestingly, it opens up a terminal. but how can I do it without opening a terminal? (running in the "background, I guess)
[14:21] <hwilde> frank_b, umm where would you see it then
[14:21] <achilles> hello how can I have a list of IP addresses , I want to grep to remove duplicates , can I ?
[14:21] <frank_b> hwilde, I don't want to see it. I just want to make sure amule restarts by itself if it crashes
[14:21] <hwilde> achilles, sort --unique
[14:22] <achilles> hwilde, thank you very much
[14:23] <frank_b> hwilde, I can do it in the command line, but for some reason inside a "!#/bin/bash" script, along with other commands, it won't execute if I put in a line "watch amule"
[14:24] <Cyntek> hey all, good morning. I am running ubuntu-server 8.10 for home storage, and I have two additional windows hard drive with media on them, but when i insert the hard drives internally, Ubuntu-server during loading says Bus error. how can i get these drives to recognize on ubuntu-server 8.10.?
[14:24] <hwilde> frank_b, you should maybe look into crontab
[14:25] <hwilde> Cyntek, it should just work.  sounds like one of your windows harddrives is taking over "master"
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> Cyntek: have you checked the master / slave settings on them?
[14:26] <frank_b> hwilde, ok. that seems to be too far away for my script programming knowledge, but thank you very much for your help :)
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> Cyntek: do they show in bios?
[14:27] <hwilde> frank_b, to pm
[14:27] <tschundeee> how do I set the default keyboard layout? after every reboot my ubuntu is set to US layout... I want german as standard!
[14:27] <tschundeee> :)
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> !keyboard | tschundeee
[14:27] <Cyntek> yes, i doubled checked and made sure they are set in bios and on the hard drive.
[14:27] <frank_b> hwilde, "to pm"?
[14:27] <Cyntek> they do show up in bios.
[14:28] <Cyntek> i will have to check a third time. brb
[14:28] <VATP> Hi everyone. I am installing Ubuntu on a Pentium 4 (128 MB RAM). I have noticed that the minimal requirements for graphic installations is 256 MB RAM, so, mi question is:
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> tschundeee: http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=13340
[14:28] <VATP> If I get mre RAM ans install it, when I remove the excedent RAM will I have any problem running ubuntu?
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> tschundeee: you can do it in xorg.conf too but HAL deals with keyboards now, it can be done there still however
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> tschundeee: you will replace sudo mousepad with gksudo gedit
[14:29] <tschundeee> ActionParsnip: Thats what I did... In the gnome menu keyboard I've set the keyboard default to German...  unchecking and checking again sets it to german..
[14:29] <tschundeee> ActionParsnip: but when I reboot it is us again
[14:30] <hwilde> frank_b, see my private message aka pm
[14:30] <frank_b> hwilde, oh, ok
[14:31] <VATP> Hi everyone. I am installing Ubuntu on a Pentium 4 (128 MB RAM). I have noticed that the minimal requirements for graphic installations is 256 MB RAM, so, mi question is:

[14:32] <blogger> anyone know exactly how gmailfs works?
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> tschundeee: then I'd edit it in xorg.conf
[14:32] <Slart> VATP: I think the install needs more memory since it runs as a live cd too.
[14:32] <tschundeee> ActionParsnip: okay I'll check if this works
[14:33] <Slart> VATP: I think you'll be fine even if you remove the extra memory after the install.. even better would be to use the alternate cd to install.. it has a lighter text based install that doesn't need as much memory
[14:33] <Slart> dar_: have you looked at Ekiga? I think that's as direct as it gets
[14:33] <qweqq> Hello, how can i boot ubuntu in safe graphics mode ?

[14:34] <Slart> dar_: even skype is a direct connection afaik.. perhaps the initial connection goes through a server of some kind but after that it'r point-to-point iirc
[14:34] <Slart> blueskynis: nope, it's broken
[14:34] <dijital1_> how do you add screensavers in kbuntu? I've installed electricsheep and for whatever reason, it's not selectable
[14:35] <blueskynis> ok. it worked...

[14:35] <tschundeee> ActionParsnip: okay that does the job! :) thank you very much for your support!
[14:35] <dar_> what i want is to contact an IP directly without any third server
[14:35] <calwig> ok back to my question, how does gmailfs work exactly?

[14:38] <allquixotic> Hi, Rhythmbox keeps asking me to search for a codec for text/html, but I don't have any HTML files in my music directory. I assume it's finding a tag that is in HTML for some reason. Rather than try to track that down, can I just turn off Rhythmbox's nagging so the default answer is always "No, I don't want to search for a suitable codec!"?
[14:38] <qweqq> Hi, how can i boot ubuntu in safe graphics mode ?
[14:39] <Slart> blueskynis: nope.. don't know if it was a problem just in sweden but I just got "internal server error" or similar when trying to access gmail.. well well.. perhaps it's just a local problem
[14:39] <blueskynis> Slart: it's freakish slow
[14:39] <blueskynis> now
[14:39] <Blinkiz> Hi there all! I have something I would like to change. When opening GNOME Terminal, it defaults to 20x25 in window size. I would like this to be the double by default. Is it possible to change the default screen size for GNOME Terminal?
[14:41] <mintlnx> list
[14:41] <abhinav> Blinkiz : should be possible
[14:41] <Slart> Blinkiz: can't you change the shortcut? I think there might be a -geometry switch you can use
[14:41] <dar_> Slart:  twinkle seem to do that but without video
[14:41] <dar_> :)
[14:41] <qweqq> Hi, how can i boot ubuntu in safe graphics mode ?

[15:03] <godowner> Hey, im back :) Have a question, anyone here has some experience in JDK(java) installing?
[15:03] <Rabbitbunny> don't ask to ask ;)
[15:04] <elzoog> Can anyone answer my question about gparted?
[15:04] <debsan> elzoog, what question ?
[15:04] <elzoog> What exactly does "Set disklabel" do in gparted.  It obviously doesn't set the disk label.
[15:04] <Slart> elzoog: oh.. I think it does.. but I think there are several labels
[15:05] <elzoog> It seems like "set disklabel" should be changed to "delete partitions" because that's what it actually did.
[15:05] <erUSUL> !java | godowner
[15:05] <elzoog> Well, I am confused.  I thought "label" meant "label", not delete
[15:05] <Slart> elzoog: I think it sets the big disk label for the entire disk.. and that will erase the partition table, yes
[15:06] <godowner> Ill check u out the community i guess...
[15:06] <Jack_Sparrow> elzoog I thought I saw a warning on writing labels
[15:06] <Slart> elzoog: well.. format doesn't mean delete but it will do just that
[15:06] <Nom-> hmm actually it looks like i might be able to automate the setup properly now... they've fix0red it :)
[15:06] <godowner> but the thing is i installed it already but... nvm going to that url :D
[15:06] <elzoog> So how do I get it to mount with names like "Windows Backup" and "Linux Backup" instead of "488.0 GB Media" and "252.1 GB Media"?
[15:06] <Slart> elzoog: and there is a big warning... Creating a new disklabel will erase all data on /dev/bla bla bla

[15:06] <Slart> elzoog: you set the fs label
[15:07] <Slart> elzoog: there are several utilities to do that.. not sure if gparted can do it.. but you use e2label to set it for ext2/3 partitions.. mtools for fat32 or ntfs etc etc
[15:07] <elzoog> It is an external hard drive that I connect through a USB port.  So it won't be connected all the time and it's not the only external hard drive I use.
[15:08] <n8tuserf> elzoog-> the correct way is usage of udev rules, but you can manually use "thisis my disk"  in quotes during mount
[15:08] <elzoog> So that would mean that a name like "Linux Backup" would have to be on the external, since the same USB port might also mount a different external.
[15:08] <dbrewer_rjr> I have a bit of an emergency. why would my ubuntu server become a read-only file system?
[15:09]  * G69 boa tarde!
[15:09] <Slart> elzoog:I just checked.. if you right click on a partition you can set the label .. that's the partition label, not the disk label
[15:10] <shadeslayer> !splash
[15:10] <n8tuserf> dbrewer_rjr -> default to remount filesystem to ro if somehow it fails
[15:10] <elzoog> So if I disconnect it.  Connect a different hard drive, then reconnect it, would it recover the same label?  Or do I manually have to do it every time?
[15:10] <hackel> Does anyone know a method for disabling cpu frequency scaling that works?  I've tried cpufreq-selector but it always reverts back after a while.
[15:10] <Slart> elzoog: yes, the label will stick
[15:10] <theturtlemoves> !xinerama
[15:10] <shadeslayer> !gnome-splashscreen-manager
[15:10] <Slart> elzoog: I use it to name my usb drives and such.. they will get the same mountpoint every time /media/<label>
[15:10] <elzoog> If I right click, the "rename" is greyed out
[15:10] <Bashiii> Why can't I press both mouse buttons at the same time in the latest Ubuntu?
[15:10] <Bashiii> It is getting really annoying by now :<
[15:11] <Slart> elzoog: you have to unmount it first
[15:11] <Bashiii> Trying to play games like warsow for example
[15:11] <Bashiii> Is there a fix?
[15:11] <dbrewer_rjr> n8tuserf: why would my filesystem fail?
[15:11] <elzoog> Ok, Slart I unmounted it.  Now what?
[15:11] <Slart> elzoog: oh.. and don't use spaces or anything else than a-z0-9 in the label.. it might mess things up
[15:11] <Slart> elzoog: right click on the partition, select "label"
[15:12] <goncalopp> Hey, ppl, does anyone anyone know how to set the initial directory to bash? I set mine accidentally, and don't know how to undo it
[15:12] <Slart> elzoog: it should be third from the bottom or something like that
[15:12] <Slart> elzoog: sorry.. second from the bottom
[15:12] <n8tuserf> Bashiii -> you can not press two buttons same time? or you saying the effect is not what you expected?
[15:12] <n8tuserf> dbrewer_rjr -> during mounting it fails, not the file system it fails
[15:12] <elzoog> Right click it where?
[15:13] <Slart> elzoog: you see a graphical representation of the disk , right? with the different partitions as coloured boxes
[15:13] <elzoog> In gparted I do yes
[15:13] <Slart> elzoog: you might just have one big box that says something like /dev/sde1 497 GiB
[15:13] <Slart> elzoog: right click on that box
[15:14] <elzoog> Sorry, I don't see it
[15:14] <Bashiii> n8tuserf: it won't log me pressing two buttons at the exact same time
[15:14] <Slart> hang on.. let me get you a screenshot
[15:14] <disappearedng> is it possible to defrag? I feel that my system is so much slower nowadatys
[15:14] <yacob> boa tarde
[15:14] <elzoog> I see resize, delete, copy, format to, manage flags, check, information
[15:15] <Bashiii> Used to work before I updated to the Ibex on the day it came out... But now I officially got tired of it :/
[15:15] <Slart> elzoog: http://imagebin.ca/view/uDkC5s.html
[15:15] <yacob> hi, some one can help me?
[15:15] <yacob> hehehe
[15:16] <Slart> elzoog: hmm.. is this a ntfs drive?
[15:16] <elzoog> Yeah, that's exactly what I see.  But where is "set label" or "rename"
[15:16] <elzoog> No, there are two partitions.  One is a FAT32 and the other is an ext3
[15:16] <sipior> disappearedng: assuming you're using a modern filesystem, defragging is not really needed. if your system feels slow, check your ram usage first. also, check the process list to ensure that unneeded programs aren't running.
[15:17] <Slart> elzoog: run this in a terminal.. "sudo apt-get install e2fsprogs"
[15:17] <Dimensions> Hi i have installed SSL (ssl.cert ssl.crt and ssl.crs, ssl.key) from an online tutorial ... for my dedicated server ... i used my domain name in generating certificate ... but now i am going to access the files from dedicated-server ip ... when i use curl https://22.222.22.22/filename ... it gives me error SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed .... how do i fix it
[15:17] <cyntek> im running ubuntu-server 8.10, and i installed an two additional windows hard drive for home storage. When i reboot to start up the server, i get a "Bus Error" and im not able to access the hard drives. The jumpers are configured properly, and they are detected in bios, but when ubuntu-server boots up i get the "Bus Error" and im able to login to the server. How can i fix this ?
[15:17] <Slart> elzoog: are you running intrepid
[15:17] <Slart> elzoog: or hardy?
[15:18] <elzoog> I am running Ubuntu 8.04
[15:18] <dimitri_> salve a tutti
[15:18] <elzoog> It says that the package is already installed
[15:18] <dimitri_> ho un processo in coda di stampa che mi rompe e mi mette off la stampante
[15:18] <Slart> elzoog: ahh.. it might be that setting the label is a new feature in intrepid
[15:18] <dimitri_> chi mi da l'url per vedere i processi e la gestione stampanti non lo ricordo ?
[15:19] <Slart> elzoog: in gparted, that is.. you can still set it using the e2label command
[15:19] <elzoog> But which option in the picture you sent sets the label?
[15:19] <sipior> !it > dimitri_
[15:19] <Slart> elzoog: "label".. second from bottom
[15:19] <hatter243> !Italian | dimitri_
[15:19] <elzoog> Ok, I don't have that
[15:20] <yacob> i trying read the cd, but when i try mount the media the terminal say mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0, ...
[15:20] <n8tuserf> Bashiii -> pressing the two buttons on a mouse effect usually is  paste, unless you reprogrammed it
[15:20] <n8tuserf> disappearedng -> if you are using windows, yes you may defragg
[15:20] <hatter243> Ah! Beat me to it sipior
[15:20] <elzoog> If I do help-about it says I am running gparted version 0.3.5
[15:21] <Slart> elzoog: mm, in intrepid I think it's 0.3.8
[15:21] <elzoog> Should I update gparted (I notice that Ubuntu is not very good at giving me the latest software, I had to install Openoffice 3.0 manually)
[15:21] <Slart> elzoog: you can upgrade to intrepid if you want
[15:22] <elzoog> Upgrading to intrepid sounds like too big of a proposition right now.
[15:22] <Slart> elzoog: that will give you a little newer stuff.. you'll never get the absolutely newest stuff from the repos though.. it takes some time to test things and such
[15:22] <Carpe|Diem> I have a /home partition, but I would like to include it into my root partition. Can someone assist me? I have no idea how to move it...
[15:22] <dominic_bredoto1> Does anybody know where to get AsteriskNow (GUI for Asterisk) for ubuntu 8.10.
[15:23] <Bashiii> n8tuserf: how do I unprogram it?
[15:23] <elzoog> I can understand taking time to test.  But Openoffice 3.0 has been out for quite awhile.  You would think that Ubuntu would want to allow me to upgrade by now.
[15:23] <Bashiii> Since I would much rather have middle mouse button only as paste... And be able to use the mouse1 and mouse2 buttons separately
[15:23] <SiDi> elzoog: there is a PPA for OpenOffice 3.0.1 in launchpad
[15:24] <Slart> elzoog: I think the policy is to update when there is a new version of ubuntu (every 6 months)
[15:24] <silentx> people plz i always got knotify crash while i'm using Kopete 0.70 on gnome ubuntu 8.10
[15:24] <yacob> some one speak portugues to help me?
[15:24] <Slart> elzoog: but you can usually find stuff from 3rd party repos
[15:24] <Slart> !pt | yacob
[15:24] <SiDi> Intrepid's version won't change. Maybe they'll update hardy's one one day, as it's an LTS, but i don't think intrepid's OOo version will change. If you want 3.0.x, you should add the PPA
[15:24] <elzoog> One question about Intrepid.  Is sound more efficient?  Sometimes I have to close Firefox to play a movie because the Flash plugin will grab the sound output and not release it to something else.
[15:24] <yacob> lol thanks
[15:24] <SiDi> https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive elzoog
[15:25] <SiDi> elzoog: intrepid has flash 10 which works MUCH better with pulseaudio
[15:25] <dominic_bredoto1> Does anybody know where to get AsteriskNow (GUI for Asterisk) for ubuntu 8.10.
[15:25] <Slart> elzoog: well.. I think it's a little bit better than hardy.. but it's still not perfect
[15:25] <speedmaster> elzoog, ALSA works great in Ubunto 8.10 imo
[15:25] <SiDi> The only problem i have with flash is that if i have too many tabs opened, i'll sometimes have to restart firefox before it displays new flash animations

[15:31] <Audacitee> treenester, are you using a router to share internet?
[15:31] <treenester> yes. but broadband is usb only
[15:32] <Audacitee> hmm so it has to connect to a computer...
[15:32] <treenester> yes
[15:32] <Audacitee> you need to make a computer a router
[15:32] <treenester> correct
[15:32] <Carpe|Diem> can anyone help me in moving my home partition?
[15:32] <n8tuser> !ics | treenester
[15:32] <mhall119> Carpe|Diem: sure
[15:33] <Carpe|Diem> mhall119: I got a seperate home parition, and i would like to add it to my root parition
[15:33] <Audacitee> hmmm easy ubuntu gateway
[15:33] <Audacitee> phew
[15:34] <mhall119> Carpe|Diem: you'll need to edit your /etc/fstab file to have it mount on boot
[15:34] <Carpe|Diem> mhall119: yes i thought so...But also, I will have to move my entire partition to my root partition, right?
[15:34] <mhall119> no
[15:34] <stealth-> how much do you think 57G can be compressed into?
[15:34] <mhall119> Carpe|Diem: what is on the home partition right now?
[15:34] <Audacitee> stealth-, depends what it is
[15:35] <stealth-> Audacitee: system backups
[15:35] <Carpe|Diem> my user's home folder
[15:35] <silentx> people plz i always got knotify crash while i'm using Kopete 0.70 on gnome ubuntu 8.10
[15:35] <silentx> >> why no one answer :S
[15:35] <silentx> am i the wrong room ?
[15:35] <mhall119> Carpe|Diem: /home or /home/$user ?
[15:35] <stealth-> !repeat | silentx
[15:35] <Audacitee> stealth-, text is going to compress well, anything that already uses a compression codec is going to be about the same
[15:36] <Carpe|Diem> mhall119: it has /home/CarpeDiem and /home/Lost+Found
[15:36] <silentx> ky
[15:36] <silentx> :)
[15:36] <stealth-> Audacitee: what format is best for compression?
[15:36] <stealth-> silentx: ky?
[15:36] <mhall119> Carpe|Diem: is there a "home" folder at the root?
[15:36] <Audacitee> stealth-, imo rar
[15:36] <silentx> ky == oky ;)
[15:36] <stealth-> Audacitee: k, thanks
[15:36] <stealth-> silentx: ah.
[15:36] <Carpe|Diem> mhall119: yes, a mounted folder I guess:)
[15:36] <mhall119> at the root of the home partition I mean
[15:37] <alexandra> join #category5
[15:37] <SiDi> Audacitee: err. it's a proprietary format and i'm not sure its better than tgz or tbz2
[15:37] <cyntek> im running ubuntu-server 8.10, and i installed an two additional windows hard drive for home storage. When i reboot to start up the server, i get a "Bus Error" and im not able to access the hard drives. The jumpers are configured properly, and they are detected in bios, but when ubuntu-server boots up i get the "Bus Error" and im able to login to the server. How can i fix this ?
[15:37] <mhall119> my home partition looks like this: /mhall, /lost+found, /qimo
[15:37] <Ma5t3rw1tt> Hey everyone
[15:38] <SiDi> stealth-: according to google, it's 7z
[15:38] <Carpe|Diem> mhall119: Actualy, when I open nautilus, I just see my root partition, containing my /home...
[15:38] <Ma5t3rw1tt> How is everyone
[15:38] <stealth-> SiDi: sure thats not windows only or something? from what ive heard, 7z isnt too popular for big files
[15:38] <Carpe|Diem> mhall119: but my home is a seperate parition
[15:38] <SiDi> stealth-: well it cant be worse than rar :)
[15:39] <mhall119> Carpe|Diem: is that seperate partition already mounted?
[15:39] <stealth-> SiDi: k, thanks
[15:39] <elzoog> Slart:  Thanks for your help.  How do you set the label using e2label?
[15:39] <stealth-> what would be the command line options to mount a vfat disk like the system does. So All users can write to it. (r+x too_
[15:40] <stealth-> ?
[15:40] <Audacitee> rar isn't bad
[15:40] <Carpe|Diem> mhall119: yes, I did not touch anything...When I installed ubuntu half a year ago it asked weither i wanted a seperate home partition or not, and I said yes...And when I boot the computer, ubuntu mounts my home partition under my root partition by default. So yes, my home partition is mounted at the moment
[15:40] <Audacitee> look at 99% of torrent files
[15:40] <mhall119> Carpe|Diem: oh, ok, I thought that's what you wanted help to accomplish.  So, since you've already got that, what were you wanting to do?
[15:41] <Carpe|Diem> mhall119: I want to copy the home partition to my root partition so I can remove my home parition and install another OS on that partition
[15:41] <Audacitee> google isn't the be all and end all
[15:42] <mhall119> Carpe|Diem: oh
[15:42] <Carpe|Diem> :]
[15:42] <n8tuser> Carpe|Diem-> you can resize partitions, boot from a livecd though
[15:43] <n8tuser> Carpe|Diem-> resize and then allocate a new partition for a new install, its wise to leave the /home in a separate partition
[15:43] <mhall119> Carpe|Diem: I second just re-sizing partitions, keeping your /home on it's own partition is a good thing
[15:43] <ross_> test
[15:43] <Carpe|Diem> n8tuser: resizing doesn't help, because I have occupied my limit of 4 primairy paritions...I need to remove one in order to install another OS
[15:43] <mhall119> that way you can have both OSs mount the same /home
[15:43] <mhall119> unless that other OS isn't *nix
[15:43] <Carpe|Diem> indeed, its gonna be winxp
[15:43] <mhall119> :P
[15:43] <Carpe|Diem> mhall119: if i'm correct, A HDD can only have 4 primairy paritions?
[15:44] <unr3a1> hey all
[15:44] <n8tuser> Carpe|Diem-> off course it would help, you have to move things around though, and make sure you make backups before doing these
[15:44] <mhall119> Carpe|Diem: I don't know
[15:44] <Carpe|Diem> k...
[15:44] <stealth-> Carpe|Diem: there isnt a huge difference from primary and logical. As far as I know
[15:44] <unr3a1> I am having problems trying to install a .deb package... it is saying that I can only have one application manager running at a time, but I have rebooted, shutdown, and it is still not working.
[15:44] <unr3a1> any ideas?
[15:44] <ross_> how do i get flash to work in ubuntu
[15:45] <Carpe|Diem> stealth-: there is none, but try to install winxp on a logival...its impossible
[15:45] <muibe> if someone could explain how it is possible that the whole gui in my ubuntu simply has stopped working properly.. as i login ja try to start any gui-program like Firefox, i get just a tiny copy of the window and it becomes a total mess as i try to move it
[15:45] <Carpe|Diem> logical
[15:45] <arvind_k> !flash| ross_
[15:45] <stealth-> Carpe|Diem: ah, thanks. thats good to know
[15:45] <Carpe|Diem> :)
[15:45] <arvind_k> unr3a1, how are you installing it?
[15:45] <unr3a1> arvind_k, double clicking the .deb file, typing my sudo password
[15:46] <arvind_k> unr3a1, why that way? what is it?
[15:46] <unr3a1> it goes to install it and then says that there is another package manager running
[15:46] <muibe> my ubuntu seems to be pretty much broken
[15:46] <unr3a1> arvind_k, realvnc
[15:46] <shadeslayer> hi i cant change the splash theme for gnome
[15:46] <arvind_k> !vnc > unr3a1
[15:47] <shadeslayer> ubottu,has info that doesnt work
[15:47] <Audacitee> shadeslayer, the login screen?
[15:47] <unr3a1> arvind_k, ok, and that does what for me?
[15:47] <shadeslayer> after the login screen
[15:47] <mlbarnes> How do I get bind to load on boot?
[15:47] <Audacitee> shadeslayer, mine just shows the desktop =\
[15:47] <arvind_k> unr3a1, why do you need to install vnc from outside when apt-get can do it for you
[15:47] <Carpe|Diem> It should be possible to just move my home partition to my root...?
[15:47] <ross_> arvind_k: thank you
[15:47] <shadeslayer> !splash
[15:48] <arvind_k> ross_, np :)
[15:48] <Flannel> Carpe|Diem: Yes.  Sort of the opposite procedure as outlined here:
[15:48] <shadeslayer> i installed that and it shows a splash screen noe
[15:48] <Flannel> !separatehome | Carpe|Diem
[15:48] <shadeslayer> *now
[15:48] <Audacitee> !gnome-splashscreen-manager
[15:48] <Carpe|Diem> indeed, Flannel :)
[15:48] <unr3a1> arvind_k, regardless of why my reasoning of installing it this way, I dont have another software manager running.  I shouldn't be getting this error
[15:48] <Audacitee> hmm
[15:48] <mhall119> Carpe|Diem: boot from a LiveCD, remove the line in your /etc/fstab that mounts your /home, then mount the home partition, and copy it's contents to /home on the root partition
[15:48] <shadeslayer> Audacitee:its !info
[15:48] <shadeslayer> XD
[15:48] <charolastra> hi, where does ubuntu decide that it can't start X (although after the OK, start in low-resulution it just goes to CLI where i can do kdm restart just fine)?
[15:48] <Carpe|Diem> yes mhall119 i tried that...but i have to keep correct ownership of /home
[15:48] <Carpe|Diem> and it changed when i copied
[15:49] <shadeslayer> !info gnome-splashscreen-manager
[15:49] <arvind_k> unr3a1, ok... in the terminal try running sudo dpkg -i /path/to/.db
[15:49] <arvind_k> unr3a1, ok... in the terminal try running sudo dpkg -i /path/to/.deb
[15:49] <Carpe|Diem> cuz i have to be root in order to copy files to me /
[15:49] <Carpe|Diem> my*
[15:49] <Audacitee> shadeslayer, heh mine just has login on x then desktop on 8.10, and it has a login screen manager, just havent played with it yet
[15:49] <unr3a1> arvind_k, it is saying that I can only have one software manager running at one time and to close the other manager before trying to isntall the .deb file.  it gives examples as update manager, synaptics, aptitude, and none of these are currently running.
[15:49] <mhall119> Carpe|Diem: If you do cp -ra it should keep permissions, I think
[15:49] <unr3a1> lemme try that really quick
[15:49] <Carpe|Diem> mhall119: :D
[15:49] <Slart> elzoog: sorry.. was away for a minute there
[15:50] <Carpe|Diem> mhall119: im going to try what you said
[15:50] <Flannel> Carpe|Diem: Use the method outlined on that page to do the copying
[15:50] <Carpe|Diem> k
[15:50] <Slart> elzoog: it's e2label /dev/sda1 MyUSBmemory
[15:50] <Slart> elzoog: you might need a sudo before that
[15:50] <elzoog> Slart:  I set the label using e2label, but when I mounted it, it wouldn't let me save files
[15:50] <Carpe|Diem> I will be back here, I hope its going to work
[15:50]  * Carpe|Diem is gonna boot his livecd ;)
[15:50] <Slart> elzoog: also, you want to unmount it before you do anything with it
[15:51] <Slart> elzoog: do you get some kind of error?
[15:51] <unr3a1> arvind_k, ok, that is working, but why didnt it work through the GUI?
[15:51] <elzoog> Well, when I mounted it, the paste command was greyed out.
[15:52] <elzoog> It looks like it might be smart to download the GParted live CD and use that
[15:52] <shadeslayer> grr
[15:52] <shadeslayer> its such a cool theme
[15:53] <shadeslayer> and i cant use it
[15:53] <shadeslayer> :|
[15:53] <arvind_k> unr3a1, hmmm might be something is running?
[15:53] <elzoog> When I try to copy a file to the ext3 partition it says "permission denied"
[15:54] <arvind_k> elzoog, use sudo
[15:54] <unr3a1> but how do I check?
[15:54] <elzoog> Is Linux_Backup too large of a label?
[15:54] <Slart> elzoog: I'm not really sure...
[15:54] <arvind_k> unr3a1, run ps aux | more
[15:55] <arvind_k> unr3a1, check for the things which you mentioned earlier
[15:55] <Slart> elzoog: seems it can be 16 characters long
[15:56] <unr3a1> kk
[15:56] <unr3a1> ty for all the help
[15:56] <Maarek> can anyone determine this symptom:  I cannot SSH to my server (fatal error) from PuTTY.  And I cannot get to my homepage from the server, but I can ping the server.  I'm at work and SSH is the only connection that I use to gain access.  Any ideas?
[15:57] <JMS32> Что нужно прописать в xorg что бы изображение было черно-белым?
[15:57] <unr3a1> arvind_k, thanks for all the help..  much appreciated.

[15:57] <Stevesy> I am trying to resize an ntfs partition, however it gives me Error: 407. It tells me I need to run a command in windows. The only problem is I dont have windows anymore. Any suggestions?
[15:58] <Slart> Stevesy: which command?
[15:58] <elzoog> Thanks Slart.  I'm going to make a live CD of gparted and try using that
[15:58] <Slart> elzoog: do that.. that cd might be handy to have around if you run into other problems too..
[15:58] <Stevesy> chkdsk /f
[15:58] <Maarek> correction:  PuTTY stating "Connection Refused" for an SSH connection to my server
[15:59] <samhassell> Maarek: you should try to nmap your server to see what ports are open
[15:59] <Maarek> nmap?  I'm not familiar with that.
[15:59] <elzoog> Slart:  I also have a Knoppix CD around somewhere, but I don't know if it has the latest version of gparted
[15:59] <Slart> Stevesy: well.. there's not ntfs checkdisk in ubuntu (or linux for that matter)..not sure what to do with that
[16:00] <elzoog> Slart:  So do you do IT work professionally?
[16:00] <Stevesy> Any idea if there is a freeware one that I could make a live disk out of?
[16:00] <eNons3nse> Ok.  I'm getting annoyed.  Yesterday morning when I woke up and started doing things on my computer it almost immediately froze.  I had to do a hard shut-down.  Ever since then all my programs have been randomly crashing.  My browsers mostly but also pidgin & file browser.
[16:00] <Lint01> how can I download some *.deb from repository, which is already installed? apt-get -d install xxx doesn't work.
[16:00] <Slart> elzoog: nope, I used to IT for a small school but at the moment I'm studying
[16:00] <Maarek> samhassell: the server is behind a firewall, the only ports open for it are 22, 80, and the email ports
[16:01] <elzoog> I used to be a Visual C++ programmer for a company called Transmap.  Was there for three years.  Sort of a waste of three years in a way because I found it difficult to find a job after that.
[16:01] <samhassell> Maarek: so if it can't connect, either the service isn't running or its firewalled right?
[16:01] <samhassell> Maarek: what OS are you on?
[16:01] <elzoog> Ended up moving to Korea to teach English.
[16:01] <hay_ig2000> hi all, are there programs that watch for any changes in a web page, (act like rss)?
[16:02] <Maarek> OS, ubuntu 8.10 server.  No GUI installed
[16:02] <charolastra> what's the name of the small gtk program that tells me it can't start X?
[16:02] <samhassell> Maarek: so sudo apt-get install nmap
[16:02] <elzoog> Anyway, going to reboot now.  Talk to you later
[16:02] <Maarek> I'll have to do that when someone can reboot it.
[16:02] <Slart> elzoog: ah.. one of those state organized programs? I think I read a blog written by someone doing the same thing in Japan
[16:02] <samhassell> Maarek: its a network scanner, so it will tell you for sure that status of the machines exposed ports
[16:02] <Slart> elzoog: good luck
[16:02] <debsan> hay_ig2000, yes
[16:03] <Maarek> samhassell: oh, you mean what I'm running right now
[16:03] <debsan> i donñe remember the name :S
[16:03] <J_A_X> hey guys, I can't seem to find my asound.conf or .asoundrc
[16:03] <samhassell> Maarek: yeh
[16:03] <samhassell> Maarek: the nmap command would be 'nmap -sS -P0 -sV -O <target>'
[16:03] <Maarek> samhassell: windowsxp sp3
[16:03] <samhassell> Maarek: where target is your servers ip
[16:04] <allen> heres a strange request. is it possible to use the shutdown/suspend/hibernate buttons from hardy in intrepid ? the intrepid ones are rubish. im on about the little screen that pops up when you click shutdown or logout.
[16:04] <Maarek> samhassell: good, I copied the command, downloading the windows version to run a check.  I believe I turned off the UDP in the firewall
[16:05] <samhassell> Maarek: sweet, that sounds like the problem :)
[16:05] <Maarek> samhassell: but it's always been off.
[16:07] <Matic> Hi all, why do I get this error when I type gnome-panel at the terminal - gnome-panel

[16:08] <sadaiyappan> AND, my back and forward buttons don't work right
[16:09] <shadeslayer> grr
[16:09] <prince_jammys> sadaiyappan: maybe you messed the permissions of some files in ~/.mozilla
[16:09] <sadaiyappan> ok how do i check it?
[16:09] <prince_jammys> sadaiyappan: does this give any output?:  find ~/.mozilla ! -user YourUserName
[16:10] <shadeslayer> any idea how install splash images
[16:10] <shadeslayer> please pleas say yess
[16:10] <prince_jammys> sadaiyappan: replacing YourUserName, obviously
[16:10] <sadaiyappan> yes it does

[16:11] <justmozzy> hi guys

[16:11] <sadaiyappan> ok
[16:12] <zim> hi all am trying to get sound to work on an ubuntu 8.04 server install. is there a howto or can someone point me in the right dir
[16:12] <arhangel> helo
[16:12] <EugenMayer> Any news on creative ( xfi ) drivers?
[16:12] <zim> I have installed  #apt-get install alsa alsa-tools alsa-utils
[16:12] <sadaiyappan> it's working now
[16:12] <sadaiyappan> thx
[16:12] <prince_jammys> sadaiyappan: maybe you did 'sudo firefox' recently
[16:12] <sadaiyappan> what was the problem?
[16:12] <justmozzy> I am new to ubuntu and have following problem: I installed everything but unfortunately the screen resolution is very low (600x400). I installed the NVIDIA driver but still no luck. Also tried to add a new mode using xrandr but it told me that the new mode (1024x768) was not found. Anyone can help me with this?\
[16:13] <prince_jammys> sadaiyappan: that might have caused the problem
[16:13] <sadaiyappan> i installed an e-mail checker recently
[16:13] <sadaiyappan> and it asked about cookies
[16:13] <Maarek> samhassell: once someone get's to the location I'll have them hard reboot the box.  It's uptime is over 60days.
[16:13] <godowner> One question about sound... when error occurs or notification, my motherboard makes a sound instead of speakers... gets quite annoying :( how can i fix it?
[16:13] <sadaiyappan> i think i disabled them and i think that's the problem
[16:13] <mlbarnes> How do I make mysql so it can accept outside connections. I already added grant all privleges on *.* to 'root'@'%' identified by but I can't connect from my computer
[16:13] <sadaiyappan> ok well it's working now, thx
[16:14] <mhall119> justmozzy: was your monitor plugged in?
[16:15] <justmozzy> mhall119: yupp, plugged in since I started the installation
[16:15] <samhassell> Maarek: yeah sounds like somethings broken there.. software firewall or hardware?
[16:15] <mhall119> justmozzy: read the xorg log in /var
[16:15] <mhall119> it might tell you what it failing
[16:15] <debsan> hay_ig2000, maybe you can try specto
[16:15] <justmozzy> mhall119: thanks, I'll check it
[16:15] <SingAlong> Hi all
[16:16] <mhall119> justmozzy: what nvidia driver are you using?
[16:16] <mhall119> some of them were not updated to work on the latest Xorg server
[16:16] <hay_ig2000> ok thanks for help, someone suggested updatescanner addon for firefox
[16:17] <SingAlong> I tried to set mount options for a volume by right-clicking it and now when I restart I get an error when I try to access that partition "mount point cannot contain the following characters: GD_DIR_SEPARATOR"
[16:17] <zim> hi all is there a room for ubuntu server install?
[16:17] <SingAlong> how can I set it right?
[16:17] <newt-home> iirc this is the ubuntu support room
[16:17] <arvind_k> zim, #ubuntu-server
[16:17] <newt-home> wow there's actually a server room too?
[16:17] <Maarek> samhassell: looks like software.  I'll have someone reboot it once they get there
[16:18] <zim> arvind_khadri: ty
[16:18] <newt-home> but with linux server and desktop are just about the same
[16:18] <arvind_khadri> zim, np :)
[16:18] <Maarek> samhassell: if it was hardware, than I wouldn't be able to ping it.
[16:18] <SingAlong> anyone?>
[16:19] <arvind_khadri> SingAlong,  what file system?? where are you mounting it?
[16:19] <SingAlong> my sms service. I tried to set mount options for a volume by right-clicking it and now when I restart I get an error when I try to access that partition "mount point cannot contain the following characters: GD_DIR_SEPARATOR"
[16:19] <justmozzy> mhall119: humm.... didn't go through everything yet, but in one entry it told me that the NVIDIA GPU was not found :s
[16:19] <SingAlong> oh sorry. the first line wasnt necessary
[16:19] <SingAlong> arvind_khadri: ntfs
[16:19] <mhall119> justmozzy: what card do you have?
[16:19] <hwilde> Maarek, check diskspace 100%.
[16:19] <lfaraone> Hi, what packages offer Java Plugins for a 64bit OS?
[16:20] <arvind_khadri> SingAlong, which ubuntu? open a terminal and do sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdax /mount/point
[16:20] <justmozzy> mhall119: NVIDIA Geforce 7200 I think...
[16:20] <SingAlong> arvind_khadri: 8.04
[16:20] <arvind_khadri> SingAlong, replace /mount/point with the place you want the drive to be mount eg /media/mydrive
[16:21] <mhall119> justmozzy: and which driver?
[16:21] <SingAlong> arvind_khadri: should that be ntfs-3g instead of just ntfs?
[16:21] <SingAlong> arvind_khadri: NTFS signature is missing. I get that error
[16:22] <arvind_khadri> !ntfs | SingAlong
[16:22] <justmozzy> mhall119: After I installed Ubuntu it told me to install the proprietary driver "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (latest cards)
[16:23] <justmozzy> mhall119: It is to be exact the Geforce 7300
[16:23] <mhall119> well, there's 4 packages for nvidia proprietary drivers, I think two of them work,not sure which one you have
[16:23] <Maarek> hwilde: diskspace is not 100%, it's only at 20%
[16:23] <justmozzy> mhall119: humm... ok... I will try to update everything and see then if I can install something else
[16:24] <Lint01> how can I download some *.deb from repository, which is already installed? apt-get -d install xxx doesn't work.
[16:24] <allen> anyone recommend best IRC program ?
[16:24] <arvind_khadri> !best | allen
[16:24] <hwilde> Maarek, how can you tell that if you can't ssh in
[16:24] <mhall119> justmozzy: check which nvidia package you have
[16:24] <SingAlong> when I try this: wget http://media.ubuntu-nl.org/scripts/diskmounter
[16:24] <SingAlong> I get Resolving media.ubuntu-nl.org... failed: Name or service not known.
[16:24] <arvind_khadri> SingAlong, it doesnt exist anymore..
[16:24] <justmozzy> mhall119: Where can I check that?
[16:24] <_VIM_> allen: konversation is nice
[16:25] <SingAlong> arvind_khadri: so how do I use that?
[16:25] <mhall119> justmozzy: you might also try using the "nv" driver instead, you won't get compiz, but you'll get better than 640x480
[16:25] <allen> will have a look - cheers
[16:25] <SingAlong> arvind_khadri: I found that on the page the bot directed me to
[16:25] <mhall119> justmozzy: synaptic
[16:25] <lfaraone> allen: irssi is a good CLI one. XChat is good in GNOME
[16:25] <arvind_khadri> justmozzy, install the 177 kernel... if you are in 8.10
[16:25] <deadkode> irssi is the only way to fly
[16:25] <lfaraone> Hi, I'm trying to install icedtea6-plugin but I get a error:   icedtea6-plugin: Conflicts: icedtea-gcjwebplugin (< 6b12) but 1.0-1ubuntu4 is to be installed
[16:25] <justmozzy> thanks all :) will try the steps and come back to you :)\
[16:25] <arvind_khadri> SingAlong, try the mount command i gave you with ntfs-3q
[16:25] <arvind_khadri> SingAlong, try the mount command i gave you with ntfs-3g
[16:26] <SingAlong> arvind_khadri: did that too. I got the same error
[16:26] <arvind_khadri> SingAlong, can you give me what you are typing
[16:26] <SingAlong> arvind_khadri: is there a way to list the available partitions?
[16:27] <SingAlong> arvind_khadri:  sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /media/disk
[16:27] <SingAlong> arvind_khadri: the disk directory already exists. its new
[16:27] <arvind_khadri> SingAlong, sudo fdisk -l shows all your paetitions
[16:28] <SingAlong> arvind_khadri: think I've to do it witht he -o force option becoz of unclean shutdown
[16:28] <SingAlong> arvind_khadri: is there a way to add these drives to automount?
[16:29] <Titan8990> fstab | SingAlong
[16:29] <arvind_khadri> SingAlong, you need to add the drives to fstab...
[16:29] <_VIM_> yeah that's pretty easy SingAlong
[16:29] <Titan8990> !fstab | SingAlong
[16:29] <SingAlong> "failed to access mountpoint /media/disk-1: No such file or directory"
[16:29] <arvind_khadri> Titan8990, thanks :)
[16:30] <Titan8990> SingAlong, what were you doing to get that error?
[16:30] <SingAlong> Titan8990: I just tried  sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda7 /media/disk-1 -o force
[16:30] <bobbob1016> Trying to run an application in a terminal from the gnome panel, I get this when running it "Failed to execute child process -x"
[16:30] <SingAlong> Titan8990: and /media/disk-1 doesnt exist. only /media exists
[16:30] <Titan8990> SingAlong, the directory that you are mounting to must exist
[16:31] <Titan8990> SingAlong, mkdir /media/ntfsdisk      mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda7 /media/ntfsdisk -o force
[16:32] <Jack_Sparrow> SingAlong run this script http://paste.ubuntu.com/122188/
[16:32] <Jack_Sparrow> SingAlong It will tell us most of what we need to know in order to help you
[16:33] <SingAlong> Jack_Sparrow: solved thanks everyone!
[16:33] <Jack_Sparrow> great
[16:33] <mike3_> hey guys I have an Intel i810 integrated video card and I have a feeling i'm having issues with the newest driver. How can I downgrade this driver?
[16:34] <Titan8990> Jack_Sparrow, did you write that script?
[16:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Titan8990 Check out that script if you have a sec
[16:34] <mhall119> I'd like to invite everyone to check out Qimo, a new distribution of Linux for kids!  http://www.qimo4kids.com
[16:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Titan8990 I started it last week
[16:34] <Jack_Sparrow> mhall119 Please dont do that
[16:34] <mhall119> Oh come on, why not?
[16:35] <Carstairs> qimo is an unfortunate name for a kids game
[16:35] <Titan8990> Jack_Sparrow, looks good but instead of using sudo in some of the commands, I would first check that the user is root and echo something like "you must sudo the script" if the uid is not root's
[16:35] <mhall119> alright, point taken, sorry
[16:36] <BLACKthroat> Is there anything that I need to know when installing lirc particularly on intrepid? i.e. bugs, workarounds, etc.
[16:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Titan8990 something to consider, I hate the thought of assuming they are root
[16:36] <hotbaby1> anyone use NDISwrapper before?
[16:36] <hotbaby1> my dell wireless doesn't work in ubuntu

[16:36] <hotbaby1> i don't know how to install NDISwrapper
[16:36] <Titan8990> !wifi | hotbaby1

[16:37] <mouka> how do you pipeline the output of a command to the more or less commands
[16:37] <mouka> I am confused about pipelining
[16:37] <arvind_khadri> mouka, command | more
[16:37] <hotbaby1> how to make my dell network card works ?
[16:37] <Bodsda> mouka, cat /some/file.txt | more
[16:37] <Titan8990> mouka, command | less
[16:37] <arvind_khadri> Titan8990, faster this time :P
[16:37] <Titan8990> hotbaby1, first use this command:   lspci
[16:38] <Titan8990> hotbaby1, find out the wireless chip, then view the documentation the bot is about to send you
[16:38] <Titan8990> !wireless > hotbaby1
[16:38] <Titan8990> arvind_khadri, hehe
[16:38] <hotbaby1> lspci?
[16:38] <hotbaby1> what does it do?
[16:39] <Bodsda> hotbaby1, its a command to show pci devices in your computer
[16:39] <hotbaby1> dell wireless WLAN card doesn't light up
[16:39] <Titan8990> hotbaby1, " lspci  is  a  utility for displaying information about PCI buses in the system and devices connected to them."
[16:39] <Bodsda> hotbaby1, if your card is a usb device use    lsusb   instead
[16:39] <SHyx0rmZ> someone using a freecom usb floppy disk drive?

[16:45] <Titan8990> nucan, did you try:   acpi=off ?
[16:45] <Bodsda> nucan, it would be handy to know what bad thing is going on
[16:46] <nucan> i cant, just choose acpi s1 and s3
[16:46] <ahabman> Anyone know how to diagnose this?  While I'm typing letters randomly appear in caps, they switch case like every second.  Also interaction behaves as if ctrl and/or alt are being held down.  I did reset xorg.conf without luck. 8.10, Dell.
[16:46] <Titan8990> nucan, not in the bios
[16:46] <nucan> where?
[16:46] <Titan8990> nucan, add that to the kernel line
[16:46] <mhall119> nucan: you should be able to add -noacpi to the boot command
[16:46] <nucan> aha!
[16:46] <Titan8990> nucan, press e to edit
[16:46] <nucan> om, trying that now
[16:46] <Bodsda> eureka moments, love em
[16:46] <Titan8990> nucan, highlight kernel line and add:      acpi=off noapic
[16:46] <mhall119> -noacpi or acpi=off, I don't remember which
[16:46] <mhall119> oh, both, okay
[16:46] <Titan8990> nucan, those are the two most common fixes
[16:47] <SHyx0rmZ> Bodsda: All solutions seem to use some form of fdmount, which isn't recommended for USB FDDs and "modprobe floppy" does exactly nothing
[16:47] <nucan> ok
[16:47] <Titan8990> nucan, but battery state would be handled by acpi
[16:47] <Mip5> ahabman - do these things appear on the screen when you're *not* typing?
[16:47] <Titan8990> nucan, apic handles irq addressing
[16:47] <gandi> can I get help with nightly jaunty installation from today? Installation crashes during clock setup near the end
[16:47] <ahabman> no
[16:47] <mhall119> that's the risk you take with nighlies
[16:47] <Titan8990> !jaunty | gandi
[16:48] <Titan8990> gandi, wrong channel
[16:48] <nucan> so i write -noacpi and acpi=off?
[16:48] <Lint01> !karmic
[16:48] <Lint01> !fuse
[16:49] <Mip5> ahabman - okay then it could be that either your keyboard is misconfigured, or malfunctioning. Did it ever work properly with ubuntu, or is this your first time with it?
[16:49] <Titan8990> nucan, yes, to the end of the line that looks like:    kernel /boot/ubuntu-x-x-x-x splash quiet ro
[16:49] <Bodsda> SHyx0rmZ, only things im finding online, are, reinstall -- id wait to se if anyone here can come up with an answer though -- provide the terminal output of the mount command aswell
[16:49] <Titan8990> nucan, the middle line that begins with kernel, e to edit, enter to save, b to boot
[16:49] <ahabman> Mip5: it's worked perfect for months.  No notable new installs that I can think of.
[16:49] <kernel> <=
[16:50] <bruenig> people who know stuff: when I use purge, apt does not touch my home directory does it?
[16:51] <Mip5> ahabman - strange. It's possible that your keyboard is actually malfunctioning then. Is the cable crimped anywhere? Have you tried shutting down your system - and then while it's off, unplugging and then replugging your keyboard? If it's USB you could try this but try inserting it into a different USB port.
[16:51] <Titan8990> bruenig, make a backup of whats in your home dir and check
[16:51] <bruenig> Titan8990: I don't have ubuntu right now
[16:51] <Titan8990> bruenig, but I think it mostly just purges /etc/ dir
[16:51] <bruenig> hmm
[16:52] <Titan8990> bruenig, I have had purge leave lots of things behind i did not want it to....
[16:52] <bruenig> yes I am pretty sure that is the case, but some fool is telling me it has the ability to touch the home directory which I cannot imagine being possible
[16:52] <Titan8990> bruenig, it would be odd, since it needs to be ran as root or sudo
[16:52] <Andry> omg
[16:52] <Andry> please guy help me
[16:53] <Maarek> I just got questioned from the IT staff for using NMAP... I ran the scan it their security software picked it up.
[16:53] <ahabman> Mip5: it's a dell laptop.  reboots don't help.  I'm gonna try to find a different usb keyboard to hook up.  Glad to know this sounds really strange to others
[16:53] <Andry> I have "Loading stage1.5"
[16:53] <Andry> all over the screen
[16:53] <Andry> it's printing that thing to my monitor
[16:53] <Maarek> I ran the scan for my server and they picked it up
[16:53] <Titan8990> Maarek, and you have permission?
[16:53] <profanephobia> Where can i download Ubuntu 9.04?
[16:54] <Maarek> not anymore.  Their bringing in security "stuff" due to malware and something our datacenter did to bring this onto us
[16:54] <fosco__> profanephobia, www.ubuntu.com/testing/jaunty/alpha4, but please join #ubuntu+1 for jaunty support
[16:54] <Andry> I think my grub has someproblems
[16:54] <Mip5> ahabman - good luck! You could also try booting into knoppix or ubuntu live cd and seeing how it works. That will take the install/configs out of the question, and you can determine whether it's hardware or software.
[16:55] <Titan8990> Maarek, you will likely not find anyone willing to help you port scan somewhere that you do not have permission to do so
[16:55] <arvind_khadri> Andry, re-install grub
[16:55] <arvind_khadri> !grub > Andry
[16:55] <Maarek> Titan8990:  no, I ran a scan to an outside site, nowhere on our network
[16:55] <ahabman> Mip5: good advice, I'll give it a go.  Thanks.
[16:55] <Titan8990> Maarek, still illegal and against ISP regulations in many countries
[16:56] <Mip5> ahabman - you're welcome. I'm glad I could assist - I actually came in to get with my problem
[16:56] <Matic> Hae all, I have mysql Version: '5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.4 in my Ubuntu Hardy - I run it in a very crude way, that is I have to create the folder /var/run/mysqld for it to run, failure to that it will tell me that the socket file is not existing, so far I have tries so much to ensure that the server runs at boot time but it nevers runs, what could be the problem here? Please help
[16:56] <Bashiii> How can I get rid of mouse1+mouse2 being paste?
[16:57] <Titan8990> Bashiii, just a guess, emulate 3buttons in xorg.conf
[16:58] <Bashiii> :/... Quite literally don't understand what you're saying :S
[16:58] <Mip5> no problem
[16:58] <Maarek> Titan8990:  Thanks, I did not know that.
[16:58] <mike3_> hey guys I have an Intel i810 integrated video card and I have a feeling i'm having issues with the newest driver. How can I downgrade this driver?

[16:59] <Titan8990> Bashiii, there is a file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf   check it to see if contains a line that looks like: Option     "Emulate3Buttons"
[16:59] <arvind_khadri> !grub | Andry
[16:59] <Bashiii> ok
[16:59] <Titan8990> Bashiii, if its there comment it out and reboot
[16:59] <Bashiii> Will see
[17:00] <Andry> arvind_khadri: I have a loop cycle of "loading stage1.5"
[17:00] <Andry> do you happen to know how to help me?
[17:00] <arvind_khadri> Andry, re-install grub!!!
[17:01] <Bashiii> Nothing like that :/
[17:02] <slashzul> whats the app that lets you pick the one of many desktops?
[17:02] <Andry> arvind_khadri: I have no interaction with my pc
[17:02] <Titan8990> slashzul, many desktops have that by default
[17:02] <slashzul> trying to add it to Awn Manager launcher...
[17:02] <hawodi>  Am trying out cakephp in ubuntu intrepid and the page is not applying the css. Am trying to follow the blog tutorial.
[17:02] <hawodi> I have enabled mod_rewrite and configured /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
[17:02] <arvind_khadri> Andry, boot from a love-cd
[17:02] <slashzul> yes Titan, I just need the name of the app , my gnome desktop has it
[17:02] <beautifulsnow> *curses lots and lots more* anyone know how to make my mousepad stop erasing what I write?!?!
[17:02] <Titan8990> slashzul, desktop switcher I believe is the name of the awn applet
[17:02] <arvind_khadri> Andry, sorry live-cd :D
[17:03] <hawodi> hello
[17:03] <Titan8990> slashzul, its an applet, not a launcher
[17:03] <Andry> arvind_khadri: lol, the live cd of ubuntu 8.10
[17:03] <arvind_khadri> Andry, ya :)
[17:03] <Andry> arvind_khadri: then its easy to reinstall grub?
[17:03] <D_likescookies> anyone know where I can get more applets?
[17:03] <Andry> do I have any loss of files?
[17:04] <arvind_khadri> Andry, ya just follow the page the bot gave... no loss of files
[17:04] <slashzul> its called workspace switcher but I dont know the actual name of the app
[17:04] <Andry> arvind_khadri: ok thank you
[17:04] <arvind_khadri> Andry, np
[17:05] <agroker> I have a problem with Ekiga under Kubuntu - it used to start and work a few days ago, but now I'm receiving error messages about .evolution/a file, can anybody help please?
[17:05] <beautifulsnow> Hmmm my mouse doesn't work but I don't know what to do?
[17:05] <simsl> can anyone tell me how to mount a ntfs drive automatically on boot up?
[17:05] <burkmat> Copying ISO to USB for USB-install: Getting 3 symlink errors - Do I manually set these up or assume there are other symlinks that have failed - and if so, what's the recommended command to copy the ISO to USB?
[17:06] <arvind_khadri> !fstab | simsl
[17:07] <Titan8990> burkmat, if you are using cp, there is a flag to have cp preserve links
[17:08] <burkmat> Titan8990, ...but will it preserve them relative to their own path or not? Don't want the USB pointing to a nonexistant ISO. :P
[17:08] <ahabman> Votes for best way to most simply backup/restore an entire system (8.10 desktop)?  (image, tar.gz, other)
[17:08] <Gnea> !best | ahabman
[17:09] <AJC_Z0> What's the correct way to set a user defined search path in /etc/resolv.conf?
[17:09] <Titan8990> burkmat, I was wrong anyways, was thinking of rsync, sorry
[17:09] <burkmat> Titan8990, Ah... Well I'll just set 'em up manually. :)
[17:09] <Titan8990> burkmat, are you following a guide?
[17:09] <Titan8990> burkmat, I would think that dd would preserve links correctly
[17:09] <burkmat> Titan8990, The one at ubottus !usb, but doesn't say anything about specific copy cmds.
[17:09] <ahabman> will do, any suggestions though?
[17:09] <Titan8990> !usb
[17:10] <marko-_-> hey guys how do i see with which filesystem a partition is mounted ? does someone know ?
[17:10] <simsl> is there any apps i can down load to configure this?
[17:10] <burkmat> Titan8990, The install-guide btw, not live.
[17:10] <burkmat> Titan8990, But there are only 3 errors with symlinks, I'm just going to try gluing them together myself.
[17:10] <Titan8990> burkmat, worth a shot
[17:11] <teamregis> hey anyone else seen weird things gong on in Gmail chat?
[17:12] <teamregis> A lot of guys simultaneously sent me different tinyurls all pointing to one site
[17:12] <Titan8990> burkmat, you are right, that documentation is missing a step
[17:12] <burkmat> Titan8990, ...odd. `ln -s intrepid unstable`, as root, gives me "Error: Operation not permitted"...
[17:12] <Titan8990> burkmat, it tells how to do it in windows but not in linux, kind of absurd....
[17:12] <Titan8990> burkmat, do:  sudo ln -s
[17:13] <Titan8990> burkmat, but I always recommend absolute paths with ln
[17:13] <burkmat> Titan8990, Running in a root shell... `sudo su`.
[17:13] <burkmat> Titan8990, Well it's a USB-stick...
[17:13] <donlimpio> Salve a tutti gli amici di #ubuntu !!!!!! (^_^)y
[17:13] <burkmat> !it | donlimpio
[17:13] <Titan8990> burkmat, what format is the usb stick?
[17:14] <burkmat> Titan8990, FAT32.
[17:14] <Titan8990> burkmat, that may be it, doubt fat32 can do symlinks
[17:14] <burkmat> Titan8990, Hmm... Icky. It's recommended though in the install guide to use FAT16 or 32.
[17:14] <Titan8990> burkmat, but then again, the guide says fat32 is fine
[17:15] <Titan8990> burkmat, yeah, I saw that
[17:15] <freegoo> hey guys what is this file used for mt86plus??
[17:15] <Titan8990> burkmat, you could just make copies instead of symlinks
[17:15] <burkmat> Titan8990, Maybe they're not important symlinks anyways... :P /dists/stable, unstable and /ubuntu.
[17:15] <burkmat> Titan8990, Yeah... Guess I'll do that if they're not too big.
[17:16] <burkmat> Titan8990, 416KB, I'll manage. Thanks for the help... We ought to have that guide updated though.
[17:16] <sid> How do I find out my ssh private key?
[17:16] <Titan8990> burkmat, I agree
[17:16] <burkmat> sid, You need to generate one if you haven't, but it's default in .ssh/id_rsa iirc.
[17:16] <freegoo> the file is inside "/install/" but whawt is it used for mt86plus??
[17:17] <hotbaby1> hey titan
[17:17] <Elbachiri_> السلام عليكم
[17:17] <hotbaby1> i type lspci
[17:17] <hotbaby1> nothing happened??
[17:17] <burkmat> hotbaby1, sudo maybe?
[17:17] <mhall119> freegoo: that's the memory test program
[17:18] <hotbaby1> it shows all the controller
[17:18] <hotbaby1> will that enable the wireless ?
[17:18] <Mip5> Hey Folks - I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 and have raid1 going for / (md0) and also swap (md1). I marked a drive as failed, then removed it from the array. When I rebooted, I got an ALERT! that md0 was missing, and it dropped me down to initrmfs Busy Box.
[17:18] <burkmat> Titan8990, ...symlink at /ubuntu points to /... Really don't feel like copying the root, think it'll manage without? ^^
[17:18] <Titan8990> hotbaby1, no, I told you what lscpi did.....
[17:18] <hotbaby1> hello
[17:18] <freegoo> mhall119: thanks alot
[17:18] <mhall119> hotbaby1: lspci only lists PCI devices, it doesn't enable/disable anything
[17:18] <Titan8990> burkmat, worth a shot atleast
[17:18] <burkmat> !patience | hotbaby1
[17:18] <hotbaby1> so??
[17:18] <hotbaby1> sorry..
[17:19] <Titan8990> hotbaby1, lspci  is  a  utility for displaying information about PCI buses in the system and devices connected to them.
[17:19] <hotbaby1> the wireless doesn't light up still
[17:19] <mhall119> hotbaby1: did lspci list your wireless card's information?
[17:19] <Mip5> This is an LTSP server.
[17:19] <hotbaby1> it list
[17:19] <hotbaby1> how to enable?
[17:19] <hotbaby1> network controller :BCM4311 WLAN
[17:19] <hotbaby1> etc..
[17:19] <mhall119> with a driver, but you don't know what driver you need unless you know what card you have
[17:19] <Titan8990> !bcm43x
[17:20] <Titan8990> !wireless
[17:20] <hotbaby1> should i use ndiswrapper
[17:20] <cooldduuudde> !
[17:20] <hotbaby1> wifi or build-in wireless light doesn't show up
[17:20] <Titan8990> hotbaby1, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[17:20] <Titan8990> hotbaby1, no, you shouldn't
[17:21] <hotbaby1> the link only tells me to list wifi
[17:21] <hotbaby1> doenst' tell me how to enable
[17:21] <hotbaby1> faint
[17:22] <cooldduuudde> !java
[17:22] <hotbaby1> 4 docs
[17:22] <hotbaby1> which one?
[17:22] <beautifulsnow> Could someone pastebin me with a xorg.conf that's fresh from install? (yes i know it depends on computer)
[17:22] <cooldduuudde> !medibuntu
[17:22] <hotbaby1> come on...no one know how to enable wireless in this channel?
[17:22] <beautifulsnow> !enter
[17:23] <mhall119> hotbaby1: you need to find out what driver you need, then "sudo modprobe $driver"
[17:23] <grobda24> beautifulsnow, you can get apt to reinstall it ... a search would prob turn up the command
[17:23] <simsl> i have the fstab open what do i add to mount a ntfs drive automatically
[17:23] <beautifulsnow> grobda24, yeah I dont want the whole file to go to the defaults, i just need 1 section
[17:24] <cooldduuudde> are medibuntu packages reliable?
[17:24] <grobda24> What is the X GUI that can auto detect monitor freq's ... it ran when I restarted before ... now I can't find it.
[17:24] <grobda24> ?
[17:25] <beautifulsnow> grobda24, just need the default mouse setup  because i messed that up ;p
[17:25] <glitsj16> cooldduuudde: very much so yes
[17:25] <grobda24> beautifulsnow, always make xorg.conf.bak ... bak1 ... bak2 backups.
[17:26] <beautifulsnow> Yes I know I just overwrote it by accident
[17:26] <Titan8990> grobda24, hehe. I have 5....
[17:26] <vigo> grobda24: Maybe you are speaking of Compiz?
[17:26] <mhall119> or better yet, create a bzr repo for /etc
[17:26] <grobda24> vigo, no, this is what starts when X can't find a valid monitor setup.
[17:27] <Matic> beautifulsnow, There you are - http://paste.ubuntu.com/122475/
[17:27] <mhall119> X should start in a fail-safe mode that just uses the vesa driver
[17:27] <cooldduuudde> i got a proble after adding medibuntu as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[17:27] <beautifulsnow> Matic, *thumbs up* Thanks a lot :D

[17:28] <Matic> beautifulsnow, your welcome
[17:28] <cooldduuudde> any ideas?
[17:29] <mhall119> cooldduuudde: did you add their public key?
[17:29] <grobda24> cooldduuudde, check medibuntu wiki entry ... run through key setup instructions again ?
[17:30] <glitsj16> cooldduuudde: means you have a ppa launchpad repository active without a GPG key, look at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1054906.html for a fix
[17:30] <cooldduuudde> mhall119: i just did this: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[17:30] <mhall119> cooldduuudde: do this too: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update"
[17:31] <mhall119> that one can't be authenticated, but installing it anyway will evidently add the medibuntu signing key to your approved list
[17:31] <roadrock> first- sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[17:31] <vigo> cooldduuudde: Maybe the logout sudo timer is set too low?
[17:31] <glitsj16> cooldduuudde: my bad, ignore the link (which is for ppa launchpad key issues, not medibuntu)
[17:32] <roadrock> then-  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update

[17:32] <SingAlong> Hi all
[17:32] <roadrock> cooldduuudde: you have another package manager running perhaps?
[17:33] <cooldduuudde> yeah synaptic
[17:33] <vigo> jim_p: Thank you
[17:33] <jim_p> :)
[17:33] <roadrock> cooldduuudde: close it.
[17:33] <mhall119> cooldduuudde: the command I gave you will show an authentication error, but you should be able to force it anyway
[17:34] <SingAlong> My website blog.akashxav.com showed a dns error around an hour back. and then it is fine (and viewable to others). but still i get the dns error page on my firefox. I restarted ubuntu, cleared my cache, restarted my router, but nothing works.

[17:34] <mistrynitesh> hello all, i need help setting up mail account in evolution
[17:34] <mhall119> medibuntu, for some reason, includes their signing key in one of their packages, instead of just hosting it online somewhere for download
[17:35] <mhall119> mistrynitesh: having trouble, or just don't know how?
[17:35] <Matic> mistrynitesh, gmail, yahoo, yourown or what?
[17:35] <papapep> SingAlong: your sites works correctly now
[17:35] <cooldduuudde> mhall119 yeah google offers it on its site

[17:37] <mistrynitesh> mhall: logix
[17:37] <mhall119> SingAlong: maybe your ISP's DNS servers just haven't propogated the change?
[17:37] <cooldduuudde> i can't find googleearth in medibuntu
[17:38] <papapep> mhall119: it looks like something like that...
[17:38] <lascar> !skype
[17:38] <SingAlong> mhall119: oh. but my other website's blog subdomain which i configured together works right.
[17:38] <mhall119> mistrynitesh: do they require authentication or something like that which you didn't configure in Evolution?
[17:38] <papapep> but two days its too much time
[17:38] <lascar> how can i get my bluetooth headset to work in ubuntu?
[17:38] <SingAlong> papapep: ya
[17:39] <Abracadabra> hi, what is the file or files where you can modify network settings such as DNS, gateway, etc.. ?
[17:39] <SingAlong> papapep: and works for everyone else except me.
[17:39] <mhall119> SingAlong: for a subdomain, your ISP's servers will check with the domain host's servers.  For a new domain, your ISP won't know who the domain host is
[17:39] <mistrynitesh> mhall: yes, i require to put the password, but in evolution, it does not ask for one
[17:39] <Titan8990> !bluetooth | lascar
[17:39] <grobda24> lascar, hv you tried searching the unbuntu wiki .. official and the unofficial/community docs ?
[17:39] <Lint01> how can I download some *.deb from repository, which is already installed? apt-get -d install xxx doesn't work.
[17:39] <mhall119> mistrynitesh: it should ask the first time it tries to connect, so maybe it can't find the mailhost?
[17:40] <papapep> did you compare both configurations (of one of the working subdomains and the one that does not), to try to find the problem?
[17:40] <shadeslayer>  im sorry for being a pest
[17:40] <shadeslayer> [23:09] <shadeslayer> http://www.robertourso.com/?p=16
[17:40] <shadeslayer> [23:09] <shadeslayer> i followed the instructions there,and copied the folders to .theme folder
[17:40] <FloodBot3> shadeslayer: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:40] <shadeslayer> [23:10] <shadeslayer> but i cant get the theme working
[17:40] <shadeslayer> oops
[17:40] <shadeslayer> how did it get there
[17:40] <shadeslayer> sorry
[17:40] <odder> hm. Anyone heard about a ".deg" audio file format?
[17:40] <mhall119> middle-click?
[17:40] <shadeslayer>  http://www.robertourso.com/?p=16
[17:41] <mistrynitesh> mhall: but i am putting exactly the same thing as mentioned in the manual "mail.logix.in"
[17:41] <shadeslayer> how do i install that
[17:41] <shear> is there a eeeXUbuntu channel on freenode?
[17:41] <shadeslayer> i copied the folders
[17:41] <mhall119> mistrynitesh: using the right port?
[17:41] <glitsj16> Rovanion: 7zip archives are handled pretty well lately by GUI archive managers like file-roller (which is in the repo's), but peazip.sourceforge.net does it too
[17:41] <papapep> SingAlong: did you compare both configurations (of one of the working subdomains and the one that does not), to try to find the problem?
[17:41] <mistrynitesh> mhall: ah! let me check
[17:41] <Jack_Sparrow> !eee
[17:42] <Rovanion> glitsj16, I would like to handle some .rar archives
[17:42] <SingAlong> papapep: ya
[17:42] <SingAlong> papapep: same config
[17:43] <papapep> SingAlong: and your isp's config, did you ask them about the problem?
[17:43] <mistrynitesh> mhall: there is no provision for specifying port in Edit-->Preferences
[17:43] <shadeslayer> so no idea ?? anyone?
[17:43] <SingAlong> papapep: their customer care works only from 10am-3pm
[17:43] <mhall119> mistrynitesh: use host:port format in the Server field
[17:43] <papapep> SingAlong: if you've got it all correctly, it has to be your isp's fault :-/
[17:44] <mhall119> oops, that didn't come across right
[17:44] <mhall119> host : port format in the Server field
[17:44] <papapep> SingAlong: then you'll have to wait until then (don't know what time it is where you live...:-))
[17:44] <shear> Jack_Sparrow, thanks, except that's not even kind of what I'm looking for.
[17:44] <SingAlong> papapep: 11.15pm. India :)
[17:44] <glitsj16> Rovanion: there's a few packages you might be interested in: rar, unrar and p7zip-rar
[17:45] <shear> just wondering if anyone knows a channel
[17:45] <mistrynitesh> mhall: spaces in between?
[17:45] <mhall119> no, I had to put spaces in to avoid : p from becoming the emoticon :p
[17:45] <Rovanion> Does any of them come with a sweet UI?
[17:45] <shadeslayer> guys??
[17:45] <mhall119> Rovanion: does file-roller handle rar?
[17:45] <mistrynitesh> ok
[17:46] <mistrynitesh> mhall: tried that but no luck
[17:46] <dirollordi> list
[17:46] <shadeslayer> im gonna pester everybody for support lol
[17:46] <Rovanion> mhall119, Nope it doesnt
[17:46] <glitsj16> Rovanion: they all integrate fine with file-roller for ex.,
[17:46] <shadeslayer> :)
[17:46] <night_> hi @ all
[17:46] <night_> i need help
[17:46] <Rovanion> Ah okey, will try it out then.
[17:47] <shadeslayer> night_: we all do
[17:47] <night_> i wanted to install the radeonhd-driver, but it doesn't work.....
[17:47] <shadeslayer> :)
[17:47] <night_> ^
[17:47] <shadeslayer> !doesntwork
[17:47] <papapep> shear: i guess you'd better ask in #xubuntu
[17:47] <night_> ok.... i try to write examples
[17:48] <superkiwi> Hello, what is the name of the application showing all the Ubuntu settings?
[17:48] <mhall119> there isnt one application that shows all settings
[17:48] <superkiwi> I mean, points to the settings of othyer programs
[17:48] <mhall119> I don't even think there's one like that
[17:48] <superkiwi> I'm on openbox, and I want to configure printer etc.
[17:49] <freethewhat> superkiwi, gnome-control-center
[17:49] <superkiwi> I'm pretty sure i've seen and used one - very similar in compiz-settings application
[17:49] <mhall119> superkiwi: system-config-printer
[17:49] <superkiwi> Yay, thanks alot - that's the one :)
[17:51] <night_> i have downloaded the xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd package and all of its dependecies..... then i removed fglrx, according to the how-to-install of radeonhd and entered radeonhd in the xorg.conf.... then the tutorial said that  i have to restart the system, and so i did... when i booted my system again ubuntu has written an error that it can't find any graphic card.... can some1 help me install radeonhd correctly?
[17:51] <mistrynitesh> !evolution
[17:52] <superkiwi> How do I login as another user when using openbox? :X
[17:52] <night_> !radeonhd
[17:53] <freethewhat> superkiwi, through gui or cli?
[17:53] <SHyx0rmZ> !xorg
[17:53] <vigo> If I install Ubuntu 9. Jaunty and have Ubuntu 8.04.2 Hardy on one HDD will they conflict or be as separate systems?
[17:53] <mistrynitesh> !mail settings
[17:53] <night_> !xserver
[17:53] <superkiwi> freethewhat: whtaver works.
[17:53] <Izinucs> I just ssh's into my server and initiated a xinit -- :1 from TTY3.. then I did "startxfce4" to start the gui.. when it started it put the session on F10 and moved my current local gui session from F7 to F9.. Why did that happen?
[17:53] <Titan8990> vigo, they will use the same bootloader but that will be all
[17:53] <Titan8990> !jaunty | vigo
[17:54] <vigo> Thank you
[17:54] <night_> can some1 help me with radeonhd?
[17:54] <freethewhat> superkiwi, CTRL-ALT F1-F9 will take you to alternate ttys
[17:54] <freethewhat> superkiwi, you can then log in from there
[17:55] <night_> !xorg
[17:55] <superkiwi> freethewhat: But I want to login to a GUI, like gnome/metacity
[17:55] <Titan8990> freethewhat, there are only 7 by defualt in ubuntu with 7 being xserver
[17:55] <mistrynitesh> mhall: tried the ports with and without spaces but doesn't work... any other thing i need to look at?
[17:55] <freethewhat> Titan8990, really?  thats good to know :)
[17:56] <freethewhat> superkiwi, ooh that i'm not sure
[17:56] <SHyx0rmZ> !superblock
[17:56] <night_> @ all: does some1 have an ati-graphic card and has installed radeonhd??
[17:56] <mhall119> mistrynitesh: make sure you can find and connect to the hostname from your computer
[17:56] <superkiwi> I see. Ubuntu has a "login as another user" or something. I want to get to gdm and login with another user.
[17:56] <mhall119> superkiwi: to start gnome, run gnome-session
[17:56] <mistrynitesh> mhall: you mean "ping mail.logix.in" from terminal?
[17:57] <mhall119> mistrynitesh: that, or telnet if it's not an encrypted connection
[17:57] <dinsdale07> Does anyone of you use a Kensignton slimblade mouse on Ubuntu. Does the 360 ball work on linux?
[17:57] <mhall119> telnet $host:110 for POP3 (if I'm remembering correctly)
[17:57] <mhall119> some networks block ping packets
[17:58] <superkiwi> With gnome-session I get "can't find window' (literal translation from norwegian).
[17:58] <timahvo1> !boot options
[17:58] <freethewhat> superkiwi, are you afraid of losing your current xsession?
[17:58] <timahvo1> !boot
[17:58] <mistrynitesh> mhall: so I type "telnet mail.logix.in:110"
[17:59] <mhall119> yeah, try that
[17:59] <raer> Hey, I'm trying to run Xubuntu on my Acer Aspire AOD150, and I can't seem to get the sound card working
[17:59] <superkiwi> freethewhat: I was actually going to login and find the gnome-control-center application, but I have that now so it's not a big deal. THanks for the help.
[17:59] <mistrynitesh> mhall: here is the reply from terminal " could not resolve mail.logix.in:110/telnet: Name or service not known"
[17:59] <raer> I updated ALSA to 1.19, but only the headphones work
[18:00] <rvn> i want to overlay rounded corners to the screen, so that it looks like an old CRT display. i need a program that can display images on the x desktop, preferably on top of any windows
[18:00] <keni495> make -C /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-lpia/build SUBDIRS=/home/keni/download/flashcam-1.3 вот зачем онмне ...
[18:01] <mhall119> mistrynitesh: sorry, should be "telnet $host $port", a space instead of colon
[18:01] <mistrynitesh> mhall: in a minute
[18:01] <rvn> i need a program capable of displaying images (preferably animated ones) on top of all windows on the desktop, while still being able to use apps and windows under the images
[18:02] <quibbler> rvn: xpenguins
[18:02] <rvn> can xpenguins display anything besides penguins? :P
[18:03] <mhall119> yes
[18:03] <juaco> for *local* mirroring with rsync (mirroring two local directories), is it better to just rsync the two dirs or to fire a rsync daemon and do that over the loopback??? wouldn't the latter take advantage of partial file copying and/or other advanced rsync algorithms?
[18:03] <mistrynitesh> mhall: it says connected to $host
[18:03] <quibbler> rvn: penguins with ballons
[18:03] <mhall119> mistrynitesh: okay then....
[18:03] <Carpe|Diem> when I want to move a folder and I use the mv command from a terminal, do the permissions and ownership of the moved folder change? I'm on a livecd and im moving stuff
[18:03] <mhall119> in the telnet session type USER $yourusername
[18:03] <rvn> quibbler, looking for a more customizable solution? lol
[18:03] <mhall119> then PASS $yourpasswd
[18:03] <mhall119> see if it will accept them
[18:04] <mistrynitesh> mhall: but it doesn't return to the prompt
[18:04] <_VIM_> !enter
[18:04] <quibbler> rvn: ok...but you're missing a lot of fun!
[18:04] <mhall119> mistrynitesh: you won't get a prompt
[18:04] <mhall119> you'll be connected to the POP3 server
[18:04] <mistrynitesh> mhall: ok
[18:05] <mhall119> mistrynitesh: did you select Server Type: Pop3 in Evolution?
[18:05] <SingAlong> wow... had never heard of the <blink> tag before. sadly IE doesnt support it
[18:06] <topdawg> followinf instructions i think it is  suppose to stay  connected I enter bill@ubuntu:~$ telnet mail.rapidcashllc.com 25  it  says: Trying 72.155.240.128...  then: Connected to mail.rapidcashllc.com.  Escape character is '^]'.   then: Connection closed by foreign host. am i missing  something?
[18:06] <mhall119> that's because <blink> is evil
[18:06] <mhall119> and not actually HTML
[18:06] <SingAlong> it is html
[18:06] <_VIM_> !ot | SingAlong
[18:06] <mhall119> I don't think so
[18:06] <SingAlong> oh sorry wrong channel
[18:07] <topdawg> working  with postfix and dovecot
[18:07] <SingAlong> I didnt notice the tab
[18:07] <mistrynitesh> mhall: typed as you said... no action
[18:07] <mhall119> it was a netscape-ism, used in their source browser I think
[18:07]  * SingAlong apologizes
[18:07] <mhall119> mistrynitesh: what was the output after you typed them?
 was good at pointing out things I need to work on
[18:07] <IdentifyTarget> how do I find out what version of ubuntu I'm running?
[18:07] <Nizzmo> join #happy-security
[18:07] <_VIM_> Nizzmo: i'd rather not
[18:07] <mistrynitesh> mhall: and I did select "pop" in evolution (no POP3 in the list)
[18:07] <_VIM_> ;)
[18:07] <mhall119> IdentifyTarget: lsb_release -a
[18:08] <mistrynitesh> mhall: no output :(
[18:08] <mhall119> mistrynitesh: what did you select for encryption and authentication options in evolution?
[18:08] <MrMentalRay> could someone tell me how in hells name I can get Java plugin support for Firefox in 8.10 64-bit?
[18:08] <vosque> I have an ubuntu server install that bailed part of the way through.  Where can I find a list of default packages included with ubuntu server?
[18:08] <mhall119> MrMentalRay: you can't, no 64-bit java plugin
[18:08] <IdentifyTarget> ty
[18:08] <mhall119> unless IcedTea has one, but last I heard there wasn't anything
[18:08] <sipior> MrMentalRay: you can grab a 64-bit plugin from Sun's website
[18:09] <MrMentalRay> but Can I install a layer thing to execute a 32 bits firefox browser
[18:09] <mhall119> sipior: no way, they have a 64 bit plugin now?
[18:09] <IdentifyTarget> Ubuntu confuses me on installing programs. There are so many ways. apt-get, Synaptic Pkg Manager, and Applications -> Add/Remove. What's the 'best' way to install new programs?
[18:09] <MrMentalRay> it doesn't work on applets!
[18:09] <juaco> for *local* rsync (mirror two local dirs), is plain rsync better than fire a rsync daemon and do connect to it over 127.0.0.1??? wouldn't the latter take advantage of partial file copying and/or other advanced rsync algorithms?
[18:09] <MrMentalRay> the one frome Sun
[18:09] <mhall119> MrMentalRay: you can install 32-bit firefox, and that can use any 32-bit plugins
[18:09] <mistrynitesh> mhall: ssl for encryption and password for authentication
[18:09] <mhall119> IdentifyTarget: they all use the same mechanism, actually, just different interfaces
[18:10] <IdentifyTarget> hm ok
[18:10] <sipior> MrMentalRay, mhall119, https://jdk6.dev.java.net/6uNea.html
[18:10] <mhall119> mistrynitesh: have you tried it without SSL?
[18:10] <MrMentalRay> I need to pay some bills, and my bank uses an applet, that won't work with the Sun 64bit plugin
[18:10] <mistrynitesh> mhall: nope... let me try
[18:10] <IdentifyTarget> I'm trying to install LIRC (llinux infrared control) on Ubuntu 8.10 and some methods work some don't
[18:10] <MrMentalRay> thank's I'll check that out
[18:10] <IdentifyTarget> I'm making a log of what I'm doing to get it to work
[18:10] <mistrynitesh> mhall: tried that now... no luck
[18:11] <superkiwi> Hmm, i have an apple airport that has a network printer/scanner attached. I have installed the printer, and can use it with programs like openoffice.org writer. But the printer is also a scanner, but xsane or openoffice.org writer does not find the device. How do I install it as a printer aswell?
[18:11] <mhall119> mistrynitesh: same error?
[18:11] <mistrynitesh> mhall: yes
[18:11] <superkiwi> *scanner aswell
[18:11] <mhall119> huh
[18:12] <mhall119> I'm about out of things to try then
[18:12] <DarkKnight> hey i am trying to install ubuntu..but when i do that i get a message that there are some logical errors...
[18:12] <samphippen> if I want to download (but not install) a series of packages that are in the repositories to a specific directory, so that I can perform offline installs of them on other machines, what do I do?
[18:12] <mhall119> mistrynitesh: it's never asking you to enter a password when you run send/recieve?
[18:12] <vosque> superkiwi: usually requires software that handle scanning to be running on the airport
[18:12] <mistrynitesh> mhall: never
[18:12] <unop> juaco, i should think both approaches have the same end result .. but i am not sure.  there is #rsync where you can ask the experts.
[18:12] <mhall119> very strange
[18:13] <batfastad> Hi guys. How can I specify multiple IP addresses in hosts.allow? Just separate with a space?
[18:13] <Dr_Willis> samphippen:  the repos are also ftp servers. you could explore them and find the packages and just download them.
[18:13] <superkiwi> vosque: I don't understand, isn't scanning and printer mostly the same?
[18:13] <mistrynitesh> mhall: i will contact ask sys admin tomorrow
[18:13] <samphippen> Dr_Willis, that won't get the dependancies though
[18:13] <superkiwi> *printing
[18:13] <ali__> hello
[18:13] <samphippen> Dr_Willis, I'll need the dependancies as well
[18:13] <vosque> superkiwi: no.  very no.
[18:13] <juaco> unop, thanks, heading onto that chan
[18:14] <Dr_Willis> samphippen:  yep. thats the propblem. check out  apt-on-cd then. or whatever its called
[18:14] <ali__> i installed ubuntu and i want to boot vista agian
[18:14] <ali__> any1 got any idea how to do
[18:14] <DarkKnight> hey i am trying to install ubuntu..but when i do that i get a message that there are some logical errors...so i am unable to install ubuntu....
[18:14] <|VktrSalles|> Hey guys
[18:14] <m4rk> hi! where can I get a fresh sources.list for my xubuntu 7.10 install please?
[18:14] <|VktrSalles|> =D
[18:14] <ali__> i installed ubuntu and i want to boot vista agian
[18:14] <mhall119> DarkKnight: installing from a CD?
[18:14] <ali__> i installed ubuntu and i want to boot vista agian how to do that
[18:14] <vosque> superkiwi: I ran into the same problem and I traded out my printer running on my airport for my printer running on another ubuntu box with the proper software running on it.
[18:14] <ali__> i installed ubuntu and i want to boot vista agian how to do that??
[18:14] <Carpe|Diem> lol ali__ , you're spamming xD
[18:14] <DarkKnight> mhall119; yes
[18:14] <mistrynitesh> mhall: thanks a lot and good night
[18:14] <_VIM_> !repeat | ali__
[18:14] <pibe86> hello i have installed xine but i  can listen to this http://caracol.com.co/player.aspx?id=zfE%2bcCh18sDLAvECZP%2fT2w1%2bxWHzvU%2bicq%2b8i%2b8VvhU3SiBtPbVci0PKsJNzkSgFzecdNFEmRjTQb8g2QGlT3Q%2b%2bheSatsfz why?
[18:15] <mhall119> ali__: did you install Ubuntu on a separate partition?
[18:15] <Dr_Willis> ali__:  i got a nice GRUB boot menu here... works fine...
[18:15] <mhall119> DarkKnight: try the "Check CD for errors" option when you first boot from it
[18:15] <superkiwi> vosque: I see. That sux (pardon).
[18:16] <|VktrSalles|> i have problems with rar files ¬¬' asking me passwords, but don't exist one ¬¬'
[18:16] <DarkKnight> mhall119; i used this cd to install for several systems...and i have several other cd's as well...but i get the same thing when i try with the other cd's as well
[18:16] <mhall119> ali__: when you installed Ubuntu, at one point it asked you how much space on your hard drive you wanted to give it, and it should have shown you how much Vista was using.  I hope you split the space between Vista and Ubuntu, instead of telling Ubuntu to use the whole disk
[18:16] <ax> how do i figure out which version of ubuntu i have installed?
[18:16] <batfastad> Hey everyone. How can I specify multiple IP addresses in hosts.allow? Just separate with a space?
[18:17] <unop> batfastad,  man 5 hosts.allow
[18:17] <mhall119> DarkKnight: maybe you have a bad CD drive on that computer?  or some other hardware issues (HDD, memory, etc)?
[18:17] <mhall119> ax: lsb_release -a
[18:17] <ax> mhall119: thanks :)
[18:17] <|VktrSalles|> can anyone helps me with rar files?
[18:17] <mj8741> ax its cat /etc/issue
[18:17] <batfastad> unop: thanks!
[18:17] <Carpe|Diem> come one ali__ , tell us:D i wanna know if you formatted your vista partition xD
[18:18] <DarkKnight> mhall119; any other way of getting it installed
[18:18] <mistrynitesh> mhall: success!
[18:18] <mhall119> |VktrSalles|: using file-roller?
[18:18] <msix> hey everyone. I just installed 8.10 via the "FromLinux" method, and after installation when i check the grub config i can't find a stanza for my new installation, i didn't tick the box to skip this. then i thought, lets just edit grub by hand... but i can't find anything vmlinuz-like... any clues where to go now ?
[18:18] <mhall119> mistrynitesh: woo hoo! what made it work?
[18:18] <mhall119> DarkKnight: USB drive
[18:18] <Andry_Sleeps> arvind_khadri: unfortunately the tutorial you give me the link tells me something i cant do
[18:18] <mistrynitesh> mhall: it was just that I was trying wrong port.... I was using the one mentioned in the manual
[18:18] <mhall119> DarkKnight: network boot, if you are feeling adventurous
[18:18] <rvn> i need a program that can draw images on the x desktop, overlaying any windows and apps that are open
[18:18] <AJC_Z0> batfastad: See also hosts_access(1). There are two different syntaxes you can use in hosts.allow with this one being the more flexible
[18:18] <AJC_Z0> What's the correct way to set a user defined search path in /etc/resolv.conf?
[18:18] <DarkKnight> shalll119;i dont have the installation files...how do i get it??
[18:18] <mistrynitesh> mhall: it started when i put 110
[18:19] <mhall119> ah
[18:19] <AJC_Z0> How do I add an app to the list in the pop-up window when I insert removable media (CD, DVD, etc.)?
[18:19] <mhall119> DarkKnight: hmmmm, not sure, google for Ubuntu USB install
[18:19] <mistrynitesh> mhall: thanks a lot once again and good night
[18:19] <rvn> i need a program that can draw images on the x desktop, overlaying any windows and apps that are open
[18:20] <Andry_Sleeps> arvind_khadri: I lost grub without never having windows on that machine
[18:20] <msix> rvn : a screensaver ?
[18:20] <mj8741> ﻿VktrSalles you need to install unrar
[18:20] <Carpe|Diem> Does anyone know, What does Owner: 1000 mean?
[18:20] <rvn> msix: i still need to be able to see the desktop and interact with windows
[18:20] <SIM_EU> hi
[18:20] <mhall119> no misty
[18:20] <mhall119> Carpe|Diem: on a file?
[18:20] <rvn> msix: i perhaps should have said non-fullscreen images, or partially-transparent click-through images
[18:21] <|VktrSalles|> mj8741: i have unrar =D
[18:21] <Carpe|Diem> mhall119: no, I copied my home directory with the command you talked about (cp -ra). And now my copied home directory has ownership: 1000
[18:21] <Carpe|Diem> :]
[18:21] <mhall119> Carpe|Diem: if you're looking at file properties, it means that the file/folder is owned by the user with UID 1000
[18:21] <msix> rvn: ah.. thats why i wondered, don't think i can help u there though
[18:22] <Carpe|Diem> mhall119: yes, but im on a livecd...hmm
[18:22] <mhall119> Carpe|Diem: usually that means that the instance you are running doesn't have a user with UID=1000, but the file/folder was created on an instance that did
[18:22] <mj8741> if you type unrar e (package) what happens
[18:22] <Carpe|Diem> I see
[18:23] <Carpe|Diem> ok mhall119 , im just gonna edit fstab now, and reboot...I hope its gonna work;)
[18:23] <mhall119> no big deal through, especially running from a LiveCD
[18:23] <|VktrSalles|> begin the unrar process, after 3 minutes ask me a pass
[18:23] <msix> i just installed intrepid. anyone know a reason why it wouldn't install a kernel or how i can fix it from the live-cd ?
[18:23] <Izinucs> I have one imap account in Evolution for Gmail but when I look in ~/.evolution/mail/imap there are 4 listed.. do I need all 4?  1= @imap.gmail.com 2=@imap.gmail.com:993 3= @map.gmail.com:995 and 4= @pop.gmail.com:995.. this last one might be because I have gmail setup on pop access as well. I don't typically have the imap access activated..
[18:24] <mj8741> so it's password protected - what happens when you enter the password
[18:24] <mhall119> |VktrSalles|: how big is the rar file?  3 minutes is a long time
[18:24] <|VktrSalles|> these archives dont have password
[18:24] <MrMentalRay> not even the beta version did it..
[18:25] <|VktrSalles|> mhall119: Is 21 archives with 114mb each
[18:25] <Mip5> md0 not found - but that's where the system is installed. Any idea how to get it back online?
[18:25] <|VktrSalles|> i can unrar it in slackware without problems, but my laptop isn't here ... i need these dvd now =\
[18:26]  * meeee_br just testing.
[18:26] <mhall119> |VktrSalles|: maybe one or more files is corrupt?
[18:26] <|VktrSalles|> no, i did it yesterday in my work
[18:26] <mhall119> same files on the same computer?
[18:27] <|VktrSalles|> same files in same external hd
[18:27] <quibbler> |VktrSalles|: winrar+wine
[18:27] <mhall119> same unrar?
[18:27] <|VktrSalles|> same machine
[18:27] <AidenL`> Is there any way to kill stale imap connections? Seeing a few HUNDRED connections from Blackberry BIS servers that are stale.
[18:27] <|VktrSalles|> but i delete these archive in /home/son
[18:28] <panesar_sandeep> what are stale imap connections
[18:28] <AidenL`> panesar_sandeep, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=stale+imap+connections
[18:28] <panesar_sandeep> ok
[18:28] <|VktrSalles|> thanks
[18:28] <AidenL`> ;)
[18:28] <|VktrSalles|> i did it =D
[18:29] <|VktrSalles|> apt-get remove unrar; apt-get install unrar
[18:29] <topdawg> where is  the  log file that reports errors on processes?
[18:29] <|VktrSalles|> dam** ¬¬'
[18:29] <|VktrSalles|> the iso was not extracter
 : wow how did u created this
[18:30] <whabo> guys why do i only get 800x600 resolution?????
[18:30] <mrichman> Why do I get this? SIOCSIFHWADDR: Device or resource busy - you may need to down the interface
[18:30] <whabo> i am on a laptop that is connected to an external monitor ... because the laptop's screen is broken
[18:30]  * lascar sigh
[18:31] <Ucof> Hi everyone!
[18:31] <darthanubis> what does one change the "nv" to again? It used to be "nvidia" but I think it was changed in ubuntu to "nvidia-glx" ?
[18:31] <darthanubis> !nvidia
[18:31] <Dr_Willis> darthanubis:  its still 'nvidia' as fr as i know.
 : try here http://www.imap.org/resources/discuss.html
[18:32] <panesar_sandeep> :D
[18:32] <Dr_Willis> darthanubis:  the nvidia package name is  'nvidia-glx' but the driver name in xorg.conf is still 'nvidia'
[18:33] <darthanubis> Dr_Willis, it did change, thats why I asked, but if its back then good...however
[18:33] <darthanubis> jockey keeps claiming to have activated the driver 180.11 and says it is in use, but it is not
[18:33] <darthanubis> I was using the propietary driver from Nvidia for the 180 opengl3 driver , but I see ubuntu has caught up with the 180.11 package
[18:33] <Ucof> Im having a bit of a problem booting if someone can help me out please. I used to be able to boot into Ubuntu, but for some reason I cant anymore, it just stops on the Loading splash screen. Im at a loss where to start troubleshooting. Im in front of the machine right now.
[18:33] <darthanubis> I succesfully uninstalled the old driver with nvidia-uninstall, but nvidia-xconfig does not give me a working xorg.conf?
[18:33] <jhg> hey, when i insert a cd (audio or data) into my system ubuntu doesn't detect it, while it are valid cd-roms. ubuntu seems to lag a little bit after inserting it but is then unable to read it. it still worked a couple of days ago. any idea?
[18:34] <Dr_Willis> darthanubis:   I dont recall ever seeing the "Driver"name in xorg  change from 'nvidia' to nvidia-glx'        The package name perhaps.
[18:34] <Stooney> Jack_Sparrow, you free fora min?
[18:34] <mhall119> Ucof: remove the "quiet splash" from the GRUB entry
[18:34] <Ucof> ok, will try that now - on the latest (2.6.27-9) build
[18:34] <Ab3L> hi. i have a problem with compiz-fusion. the borders of the windows are not shown anymore. how can i reactivate them?
[18:35] <Ucof> Do I want to chose uuid, kernel or initrd?
[18:35] <mhall119> Ab3L: alt+f2 to get the run dialog, then "compiz --replace"
[18:35] <Stooney> I installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 8.10.  When I log in it is hanging on the peach-ish color screen where all I have is the mouse (which moves).  Is there a standard fix for this?
[18:35] <Ab3L> mhall119: and after that, how can i return to this interface?
[18:36] <Ab3L> mhall119: alt+what? (sorry, i never found it)
[18:36] <mhall119> Ab3L: all that will do is re-start compiz for you
[18:36] <mhall119> alt+F2
[18:36] <shepherd> Anyone know where I can find source for easycam ?
[18:36] <mhall119> should bring up a run dialog
[18:37] <Ucof> well, the kernel one is the only one that seems to have "quiet splash" on it, so I'll go for that one
[18:37] <Carpe|Diem> mhall119: :D It works:D I've succesfully copied my home partition. Thank you for your help :D
[18:37] <Ucof> Do I want to remove the "ro" too?
[18:37] <Carpe|Diem> Flannel: thank you for helping me earlier today;) It works :)
[18:37] <Ab3L> mhall119: nothing happens with alt+f2
[18:38] <Carpe|Diem> mhall119: :D It works:D I've succesfully copied my home partition. Thank you for your help :D
[18:38] <mhall119> woot Carpe|Diem
[18:38] <Carpe|Diem> :DDD
[18:39] <Ab3L> mhall119: nothing happens with alt+f2. the windows remain without the borders.
[18:39] <Ucof> Am booting up without "quiet splash" now
[18:39] <mhall119> Ab3L: try ctrl-alt-f2 to switch to another TTY, login, run "export DISPLAY=:0", then "compiz --replace &"
[18:39] <Guest61553> Does anyone know how to setup up ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) using Microsoft Windows XP SP3 dial-up as an internet gateway?  The client system is running Ubuntu 8.10
[18:39] <KenBW2> why should i be able to hobernate with kernel 2.6.27-7 but not 2.6.27-11?
[18:39] <slashzul> anyone know what the executable is for running the workspace switcher applet ?
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> !ics
[18:40] <Ucof> Hmm... its stopped...     last entry is "---[ end trace f0e39441673dbfe4 ]---
[18:40] <quibbler> Ab3L: system-preferences-compiz config setting manager ...under effects make sure window decorations is checked
[18:40] <Lint01> That's not ehat he wants; he want Windows PC as gateway
[18:40] <mhall119> Ucof: copy down the last few messages, and run them through google to see what you get
[18:41] <Ucof> Im utterly stumped as to what to try, Ive got Ubuntu on my laptop (on it now) and it is running sweetly, its just my desktop that isnt working.
[18:41] <Ucof> Mhall- will try that now, it just looks like loads of hex though
[18:41] <Lint01> ab3l: Open your network connections, and chhose wizard
[18:41] <Carpe|Diem> I need to know one more thing, how can I quickly find out which devices have been mounted?
[18:41] <Ucof> and I cant see anything that 'looks' like an error message
[18:41] <mhall119> Ucof: you can try booting from a LiveCD, and running fsck on the hard drive
[18:41] <Ab3L> quibbler: it is checked. i checked it as first step.
[18:41] <Dr_Willis> carpediem:  mount commad :)
[18:42] <Ucof> I tried running fsck from the ubuntu recovery mode, is that not the same?
[18:42] <Ucof> The disc is upstairs anyway :)
[18:42] <Carpe|Diem> Dr_Willis: omg ty lol! I never tried mount without additional parameters xD
[18:42] <mhall119> recovery mode from the CD?
[18:42] <Ucof> no, just from the hard drive
[18:42] <Ucof> will grab the cd now.
[18:42] <mhall119> Ucof: try from the CD, I'm not sure how it works from the disk
[18:43] <PurpleFrog1> @Carpe|Diem:  Open a terminal window, run "cat /proc/mount" or just plain "mount"
[18:43] <benitron> I have a Toshiba r15 tablet PC and have set up the tablet stuff but when I rotate the screen there is lag and when I minimize a window it leaves a ghost image. Is there any way to fix this?

[18:47] <roadrock> topdawg: some isp's won't allow email from systems with no postmaster@yourdomain.tld that could be the problem.
[18:47] <mhall119> Ab3L: can you launch a terminal?

[18:55] <paul68> I want to add a pc to my samba users list what is the syntax to avoid password requests

[18:55] <mhall119> Ab3L: I'm not sure then, that should launch it
[18:55] <Dr_Willis> paul68:  you can manually edit the smb.conf file and disable that for specific shares i belive - check the samba-doc package for a book on the topic :)
[18:55] <whabo> ATI 340M radeon .. intergrated its a laptop running on an external monitor .. because the laptop's screen got busted. it worled with 1600x1200 resolution under pclinuxos

[18:56] <spideyman> ubuntu wont mount my ext hd gives error that the mount point contains directory separator ussually / how do i fix this?
[18:56] <tdn> BlackBeast, all of it is. Only server is not live cd.
[18:57] <Ab3L> mhall119: anyway, thank you very much.
[18:57] <Ab3L> bye
[18:57] <mhall119> no problem Ab3L, hope you get it working
[18:57] <Dr_Willis> spideyman:  try mounting it from the commandr line? what filesystem is the drive?
[18:57] <Ab3L> now it works. that's what is most important.
[18:58] <IdentifyTarget> if I see a package in synaptic package manager that I want to install manually it's 'sudo apt-get PKG_NAME'
[18:58] <IdentifyTarget> right?
 its ntfs cant mount in command line because the drive had a space in the name thats what led to this mess
[18:58] <Pici> IdentifyTarget: sudo apt-get install packagename
[18:58]  * Ab3L is thinking he can park here a little bit. he may learn something good.
[18:58] <Ucof> trying to boot with 3gb now,
[18:59] <IdentifyTarget> how can I list any packages available with the word 'lirc' in the name?
[18:59] <IdentifyTarget> isn't there an apt-get list or something?
[18:59] <Pici> IdentifyTarget: apt-cache search lirc
[18:59] <Pici> !apt | IdentifyTarget
[18:59] <IdentifyTarget> ty
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> spideyman:  yep. spaces in names is a thing to avoide
[19:00] <ardchoille> IdentifyTarget: apt-cache search -n lirc
[19:00] <IdentifyTarget> -n for name?
 I tried to change the mount point in nautilus now it wont mount at all
[19:00] <Dr_Willis> spideyman:  you CAN mount it from com%mand line if you want to -  you just make the directtroy/mount point whtever you want.
[19:00] <ardchoille> IdentifyTarget: -n = names only
[19:00] <IdentifyTarget> ty
[19:00] <klenz87> i have a file that is all .rar files and it need to be extracted into and iso osx does it automatically with unrarx will linux do the same and what program ssssshould i use
[19:00] <ardchoille> yw
[19:01] <topdawg> roadrock , how can i determine if that is the case?  and    what ports should i have open? and if that is the  case how do i fix it??
[19:01] <Dr_Willis> spideyman:  you are going about it the wrong way..    'sudo mkdir /media/extdrive'  'sudo ntfs-3g /dev/devicename /media/extdrive'
 you the man thanks
[19:02] <Dr_Willis> spideyman:  in windows change the drives volumename to somthing without spaces.. will save a lot of problems
 thats exactly what i wanted
[19:02] <Ucof> nope. crashed again.  Will try with 2gb of RAM now.

[19:04] <MindSpark> how do I install libavdevice52 ?
[19:04] <Ucof> nope, I know this one to work (well, unless it has died in the drawer)
[19:04] <mhall119> cosmic rays...
[19:04] <MindSpark> i get libavdevice52: Depends: libdc1394-22 but it is not installable
[19:05] <Ucof> will check cd for defects at the next boot
[19:06] <Ucof> ooooooh...
[19:06] <Ucof> WE HAVE SOMETHING! :D
[19:06] <mhall119> woot!
[19:06] <mhall119> I hope it's a pony
[19:06] <Ucof> I'll try
[19:06] <Ucof> No, no pony :(
[19:06] <Ucof> go go fairy glitter sparkle pony :)
[19:07] <Ucof> will try to boot as normal when I can
[19:07] <kopf> Hi, I've installed ubuntu inside VMWare. I can ping www.google.com and get responses (so i can do DNS lookups and everything) but when i try wget http://www.google.com , it can't connect to port 80 on google
[19:07] <kopf> anyone know what the problem is?
[19:07] <mhall119> what did you find, Ucof?
[19:07] <Silicium> hi there
[19:08] <Ucof> booted fine via livecd...    am now attempting a "normal" HD boot
[19:08] <mhall119> kopf: maybe port 80 is being blocked?
[19:08] <Ucof> We has succes
[19:08] <Ucof> :D
[19:08] <slerder> Hey guys, Im going to get 4 gb of ram soon and wanted to know how much ram a 32 bit version of ubuntu 8.10 would see/be able to use? Thanks
[19:08] <mhall119> Ucof, was it ram?
[19:09] <Ucof> yeah... but that RAM works fine on XP64  :oS
[19:09] <Ucof> is it just Ubuntu being fussy?
[19:09] <mhall119> maybe you just never addressed the bar areas in XP64
[19:09] <kopf> mhall119: nah, nothing's blocked.. and it happens with everything (ssh, ftp, etc)
[19:09] <Ucof> sorry, bar errors?
[19:10] <mhall119> kopf: have you tried using a browser to get to google.com?
[19:10] <Ucof> bar areas*
[19:10] <mhall119> bad areas
[19:10] <Ucof> of the RAM?
[19:10] <mhall119> it's possible
[19:10] <kopf> mhall119: I don't have one installed. and I don't really see how that'd change anything
[19:10] <mhall119> kopf: would let us know if wget is the problem or not
[19:11] <mhall119> kopf, you familiar with the HTTP protocol?
[19:11] <Ucof> hmmm..  Im sure I have let Memtest86+ (v2.21 I think) test the ram overnight and it has been fine :o.
[19:11] <kopf> yes
[19:11] <Ucof> odd.
[19:11] <Ucof> I now have 144 updates to download... :D
[19:11] <mhall119> kopf: try telnetting to www.google.com port 80, and GETing /
[19:11] <kopf> yeah will do

[19:14] <slerder> ucof so how much?
[19:15] <ardchoille> !pl
[19:15] <Ucof> no Idea, but if it is anything like XP or Vista, the 32bit versions can only use 3.5gb of it
[19:15] <Ucof> dont quote me on that though as I only came in here to ask questions myself :)
[19:17] <Favorit> hola
[19:17] <Ucof> bonjour

[19:19] <^hashbang^> slerder: you might get 3.2GB
[19:19] <LogicFan> i bet you'll see something like 3.5 or 3.8gb reported
[19:19] <casimir> exit
[19:19] <ibuclaw> slerder: why so much ?
[19:20] <LogicFan> slerder, or just install 64bit ubuntu :)
[19:20] <slerder> hashbang thanks, if i install the 64 bit version could i install 32 bit apps on it?
[19:20] <slerder> logicfan, same question thanks
[19:20] <^hashbang^> slerder: yes
[19:20] <LogicFan> slerder, yes, but some apps require more workarounds than others
[19:20] <crazygir> what's the best way to access shares in windows active directory?
[19:20] <ibuclaw> slerder: yes, you can with 32bit libraries
[19:20] <^hashbang^> !smb | crazygir

[19:26] <[ifroog]> Hello i get this error "get_cam_image(): len != img->bufsize, just letting you know", Any ideas why?
[19:26] <lenswipe> ibuclaw: any ideas??
[19:27] <ibuclaw> lenswipe: ideally, you would increase the "Periods/Buffer" and decrease the "Frames/Period" in a linear sort of fashion, if your soundcard supports
[19:27] <Petengy> I have some problems with trash icon, to check what it's going on I need to launch trash applet from shell to see error messages... could someone tell me how "launch" trash applet from shell ?
[19:27] <shepherd> anyone know where to find sourcecode for easycam

[19:28] <ibuclaw> lenswipe: do you use JACK Control?
[19:28] <lenswipe> ibclaw: nope, but i guess i could :) i dont know much about jack
[19:28] <whabo> #radeon
[19:28] <lenswipe> ibuclaw: sudo apt-get jack control?
[19:28] <ibuclaw> lenswipe: sudo apt-get install qjackctl
[19:29] <lenswipe> ibuclaw: kk ty
[19:29] <Ucof> Does anyone know of a Linux version of Notepad++  ?  Im running it through WINE at the moment...
[19:29] <_VIM_> VIM!
[19:29] <Ucof> :P
[19:29] <topdawg> gedit  works well
[19:29] <_VIM_> j/k ;)
[19:29] <ibuclaw> _VIM_++
[19:29] <Ucof> Never liked it myself :D
[19:29] <topdawg> similar to  notepad
[19:30] <_VIM_> how bout bluefish?
[19:30] <AJC_Z0> NEdit for ever!
[19:30] <lenswipe> Ucof: gedit does nearly everything that notepad++ can do i think
[19:30] <LogicFan> Ucof, i like SciTE
[19:30] <ibuclaw> Geany
[19:30] <lenswipe> Ucof: infact i prefer gedit to notepad++ :)
[19:30] <lenswipe> Ucof: its nice and simple and it does syntax highlighting
[19:31] <Ucof> really?   I dont like Gedit really...         I suppose its just me not liking change.
[19:31] <ibuclaw> and gedit allows you to run shell scripts on the text you are editing
[19:31] <_VIM_> A change you can believe in!
[19:31] <Ucof> syntax highlighting is indeed awesome
[19:31] <ibuclaw> plus ... install gedit-plugins
[19:32] <ibuclaw> lenswipe: once installed, go into Applications -> Sound+Video -> JACK Control
[19:32] <lenswipe> ibuclaw: ok so i got jack control installed and when i ran it from terminal it opened but i got a message saying "Warning: no locale found: /usr/share/locale/qjackctl_en_GB.qm"
[19:32] <ibuclaw> locale is a Language, should be no issue with that
[19:32] <klenz87> can anyone help me with my login screen it seems to have a resolution that is to high?
[19:32] <FarmCretin> ^hashbang^:  ophcrack is the program. i just found an old thread about a flag for no GUI when compiling. i guess i wont use the repos
[19:33] <burkmat> Attempting to boot Ubuntu from USB to a netbook... and I'm getting some shiny flickering letters floating by now and then - Should I be panicking?
[19:33] <ibuclaw> lenswipe: I get the exact same thing :D
[19:33] <C-S-B> burkmat, try safe mode?
[19:33] <lenswipe> ibuclaw: ok, btw jack being a server if i set it up right could other machines connect to the jack server and hear the sound on it?
[19:33] <[ifroog]> !webcam
[19:33] <lenswipe> ibuclaw: just a matter of interest :)
[19:34] <burkmat> C-S-B, ...how exactly would I do that? I just get a grub menu with "Default" and "OEM"... Using the software recommended by ubottus !usb.
[19:34] <ibuclaw> lenswipe: that is a very good question. I have never tried that myself, so I'd have to look it up first though
[19:34] <tango07> anyone knows of a good application that helps to recover lost partitions?
[19:35] <lenswipe> ibuclaw: YAY it doesnt sound like crap now tyvm!! :D
[19:35] <whabo> how can i switch from XOrg to Xrandr because my log file of XOrg says that Xrandr output would be 1680x1050 > here is my log file thank you guys for everything http://pastebin.com/m5121401c

[19:40] <zash> crazygir: cifs and smb is nearly the same
[19:41] <shepherd> anyone can direct me to the source of "easycam"
[19:42] <crazygir> zash: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[19:43] <crazygir> there are a number of comments regarding sbmfs before even starting
[19:43] <M1DLG> what is the correct way to add a second drive to my system? do i make it a certain mount point?

[19:44] <b18c1teg> Why does my media player close every time i try to play a movie file or use my visualizer? I'm using the standard Movie Player, Rythmbox, and Kaffiene.
[19:45] <M1DLG> ok - it doesn't require a special /something? I understood obviously incorrectly that there was only on / directory
[19:45] <crazygir> M1DLG: just create a directory in /mnt
[19:45] <crazygir> so /mnt/foo
[19:45] <crazygir> or whatever
[19:45] <M1DLG> sorry for the italics - something i dint intend
[19:45] <fiftyone> howdy all,  I have ubuntu installed on my eeepc  1000H I have had it for a few months and I have noticed a significant preformance loss. Also, for some reason when i restart my syste resources peg at 100% and my system is always running at 50 - 60 % even when nothing is in use. any idea what could be causing this?
[19:45] <M1DLG> ok
[19:45] <tangentcollision> how do I make a script start up when the server starts?
[19:45] <crazygir> then mount /dev/foo /mnt/foo
[19:46] <zash> sshfs ftw
[19:46] <kizza> when i run a game on ubuntu 8.10 it glithches in the cackground all this e=weird colours in the shape of the windows
[19:46] <M1DLG> ok so that automatically becomes disk2 as it's own root mount point
[19:48] <Stooney> I installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 8.10.  When I log in it is hanging on the peach-ish color screen where all I have is the mouse (which moves).  Is there a standard fix for this?
[19:48] <j0nr> i am trying to open graphical programs on my LCDTV plugged into my server ed.
[19:48] <j0nr> where doo i start
[19:49] <Ucof> do you have an "X" for a pointer, or is it a proper arrow?
[19:49] <Ucof> @stooney
[19:49] <Stooney> arrow
[19:50] <Stooney> I enter username/pass, then it just seems to hang there.  I can move the mouse
[19:50] <Stooney> I've tried booting to recovery, making new account and trying that, but the same thing happens
[19:50] <Ucof> is there any hard drive light activity?
[19:50] <fiftyone> now i have nothing but xchat running and my system resources are pegged at 100% i don't get it. also alot of my programs become unstable and need to be force quit... any idea what is causing this?
[19:50] <Stooney> nope
[19:50] <Stooney> if it helps, I can boot with the live cd i installed with
[19:51] <Stooney> the live version boots i mean
[19:51] <crazygir> zash: anythoughts regarding cifs/smbfs?
[19:51] <Mip5> Hey Gang - anyone have experience with raid and mdadm? I'm having raid1 troubles - can't boot server, drops into initramfs busy box. Root is on md0, but I get a message on boot that /dev/md0 does not exist
[19:51] <zash> crazygir: i would use sshfs or nfs
[19:51] <Ucof> stooney - Im only a noob, but I think it might be a video driver related error.
[19:52] <Ucof> what gfx card do you have?
[19:52] <Stooney> some onboard dell crap :(
[19:53] <Stooney> is there a way to disable the splash after login?
[19:53] <Dandre> Hello,
[19:53] <IntuitiveNipple> Anyone know how to get sed to stop processing when it finds the first match?
[19:53] <Stooney> without logging in to do so?
[19:53] <Ucof> I think you need to change the drivers...     possibly to the ati ones,   im sure theres something on google...
[19:54] <Stooney> how would I go about actually changing the drivers? recovery mode?
[19:54] <Stooney> I'm a linux noob
[19:54] <fiftyone> if someone can help me., I installed ubuntu about a month or so ago and everything has been working wonderfuly until recently i have noticed a significant loss in preformance. my  system becomes unstable quickly. natalas crashes alot and my system resources sometimes peggs out for no apparent reason even loading a simple program like xchat pegs me oout at 100%
[19:54] <Dandre> Why when installing sun-java6-jre the JAVA_HOME is not defined?
[19:54] <arquebus> !restricted
[19:54] <Dandre> How can I correctly define it?
[19:54] <roadrock> topdawg: still here?
[19:54] <korogiannos> Hi. Can I use kernel 2.6.28 with intrepid? if so, how?
[19:55] <korogiannos> 2.6.28 or higher I mean
[19:55] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[19:57] <arvernes> I have pbs with ubuntu and java_home. Is there a way to define java_home on a bash file. As I switch from 1.5 and 1.6 I can't set it up easily. I can find "java" using "which java", but after that, I need to strip the "/bin" part
[19:57] <chitt> Hi i come across this erro "Sorry, user chitt is not allowed to execute '/bin/su' as root on chittubuntu."
[19:57] <chitt> i only have one user
[19:57] <Pici> !sudo | use sudo, not su chitt
[19:57] <chitt> do you know how to overcome it
[19:57] <ActionParsnip> chitt: you dont use su, use sudo -i
[19:57] <Pici> korogiannos: You'd have to compile it yourself... incoming factoid.
[19:57] <Slash> Do any of you know how to backup copy protected games?
[19:57] <chitt> yeah it's sudo
[19:57] <Pici> !kernel | korogiannos
[19:57] <chitt> i know
[19:58] <Ucof> is there anyway to make a custom resolution available?
[19:58] <chitt> i've somehow managed to make a mess of the sudoers file
[19:58] <ActionParsnip> chitt: it doesnt work because you don't use sudo, as long as you are a member of the 'admin' group you can use sudo -i to get a root console
[19:58] <chitt> i cannot use root
[19:58] <korogiannos> Pici: Thankyou
[19:58] <ActionParsnip> !root | chitt
[19:58] <chitt> yeah i know ActionParsnip
[19:58] <chitt> But yeah but the chitt is the root user
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> chitt: is it a member of admin?
[19:59] <chitt> yeah
[19:59] <chitt> the only user is chitt
[19:59] <cappiz> or set the root password :P
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> chitt: being a member of admin does not make the user root, it means it can use sudo / gksudo to get the same access as root
[19:59] <fiftyone> if someone can help me., I installed ubuntu about a month or so ago and everything has been working wonderfuly until recently i have noticed a significant loss in preformance. my  system becomes unstable quickly. natalas crashes alot and my system resources sometimes peggs out for no apparent reason even loading a simple program like xchat pegs me out at 100%
[19:59] <chitt> please tell me how to do it
[19:59] <chitt> ActionParsnip
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> cappiz: its not in ubuntus way to use it
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> chitt: i refuse to, as it gains you nothing
[20:00] <chitt> how to i cannot upgrade to 8.10
[20:00] <chitt> because of that
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade'
[20:00] <cappiz> ActionParsnip, by default it is not - thats correct :)
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade
[20:00] <vigo> fiftyone: Do you have a backup from the working installation?
[20:01] <chitt> can i replace chitt (the root user)
[20:01] <fiftyone> i do yes
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> chitt: why do you think all the official documentation uses sudo/gksudo  root is not needed nor does it give you anything you dont already have, enabling the accuont also reduces system security
[20:01] <fiftyone> vigo i do have a recent backup i made yesterday also have one made a couple weeks back
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> chitt: you can make a new user and ad it to the admin group
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> !root
[20:02] <nanotube> !ubottu
[20:02] <vigo> fiftyone: Use that, it should be stable again, first try the restore thing, if no good, go to Hard Copy Backup, or Tape.
[20:03] <fiftyone> anyone know about usb headset and sound issues? my headset worked fine on another ubuntu machine now it only works like half the time
[20:04] <ActionParsnip> fiftyone: http://www.lockergnome.com/linux/2007/09/23/setting-the-default-sound-card-usb-headset/
[20:04] <fiftyone> also my regular headphone jack dosent seem to work eather
[20:04] <KenBW2> why should i be able to hibernate with kernel 2.6.27-7 but not 2.6.27-11?
[20:04] <M1DLG> ubotto? isn't that a gits character?
[20:04] <Scunizi> I have a wireless card and a wired connection on one machine.. what command at terminal will tell me which one is currently active for connection to the internet?
[20:04] <fiftyone> ActionParsnip, i actually have done that but it still seems not to work
[20:04] <vigo> fiftyone: A stable backup could resolve that, if it worked before a backup was made, it should work after a Restore Image has been used. Otherwise it is a hardware issue that needs to be looked at on the forums.
[20:05] <fiftyone> ok vigo thanks alot!

[20:12] <fiftyone> ActionParsnip,  32
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> fiftyone: firepup hands down
[20:12] <neonic> "Google Chrome" ?  Have you tried it?  I think it's quite nice
[20:13] <fiftyone> ActionParsnip,  nice i will try it!
[20:13] <fiftyone> Neoic chrome is awesome but not yet for linux :(
[20:13] <swatTX> any boxee or xbmc users out there that can help me with a video problem

[20:13] <b18c1teg> not yet
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> fiftyone: or kazehakase
[20:13] <zash> swatTX: wat
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> fiftyone: kazehakase is default in fluxbuntu which is lightweight
[20:14] <topdawg> roadrock , yes i am still here
[20:14] <neonic> Does anyone know why my screen doesn't display anything when I do ctrl+alt+f2 or kill x manually?
[20:14] <neonic> Can't figure it out, and it's making me angry cause I can't install NVid drivers
[20:14] <fiftyone> ActionParsnip,  i love firefox but sometimes it just seems clunky i want something simple , stable and quick
[20:14] <hwilde> ActionParsnip, wow that recordmydesktop is rudimentary.  I just want to record one window not my entire 1900x1200 widescreen.  the video is HUGE
[20:14] <zash> fiftyone: links2
[20:14] <zash> :D
[20:14] <hwilde> fiftyone, epiphany
[20:14] <roadrock> topdawg: howdy, whats the problem again, disconnected from smtp server?
[20:14] <neonic> Or, I know there's a way, but I forgot the boot command to start at runlevel like 3 where it only goes to terminal?
[20:15] <derspankster> anyone know what nvidia restricted driver is available in 8.10?
[20:15] <adubz> im getting the same error msg libglib1.2 not satisfiable
[20:15] <hwilde> derspankster, there are a bunch.  aptitude search nvidia
[20:15] <fiftyone> ActionParsnip,  nice will ty them both, do you know much about fluxbox? I want to use it but i cant seem to get past the configuration lol i messed it up now all i get is a xterm prompt
[20:15] <b18c1teg> im trying to install the restricted extras package and failing miserably. can some one help? i get an invalid install error message.
[20:15] <swatTX> zash, when i try to play a video in xbmc or boxee it appears to be in fast forward with no sound. Any ideas?
[20:15] <commander__> how can i launcch firestarter on 9.04
[20:16] <topdawg> roadrock, we were  discussing the  disconnect  on telnet mail.rapidcashllc.com 25
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> fiftyone: strange, install fluxbox, log off, set session to fluxbox, log on
[20:16] <roadrock> topdawg: pm, off-topic for this channel.
[20:17] <topdawg> roadrock,  ok ty
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> fiftyone: i had that when my fluxbox went screwy cos I tried to make slim autologin for alaugh and i had to manually type 'fluxbox' in that prompt, keep it running and minimise it for all etenity
[20:17] <derspankster> htwilde, thanks but I'm still running Hardy.  Wondered if there was anything newer than 173.
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> fiftyone: i like it, i use kde apps but like fluxbox for lightness
[20:17] <hwilde> derspankster, 177 and 180
[20:18] <derspankster> hwilde, thanks again
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> derspankster: some cards dont work with the newer drivers, in this case newer != better
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> derspankster: try then and use the one which works best for your card
[20:18] <C-S-B> I'm moved to 180 nvidia driver, works fine here
[20:18] <b18c1teg> im trying to install the restricted extras package and failing miserably. can some one help? i get an invalid install error message.
[20:18] <C-S-B> still no luck getting hdmi audio though
[20:19] <derspankster> ActionParsnip, my 6600 in Hardy give me no DVI output after X starts.
[20:19] <zash> swatTX: try installing all gstreamer packages
[20:19]  * C-S-B loves it when xwindows configs fail and drops you to the shell. :/
[20:20] <zash> shell ftw
[20:20] <fiftyone> ActionParsnip,  i like the lightness too my machine can easily handle KDE or gnome but i love to keep my resources low,hink the minamalt managers are more stable
[20:20] <tom___> Hi. I'm using 8.10 and am trying to set up bluetooth such that devices can browse some of my directories. Is this possible?
[20:20] <C-S-B> yes
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> fiftyone: snap
[20:20] <tom___> (The device needn't be paired with me.)
[20:20] <C-S-B> its all plug and play tom1_
[20:21] <tom___> C-S-B: What devices can they browse? (I'd check, but i don't have a device. :\)
[20:21] <C-S-B> oh, wait there, you are talking the other way round...
[20:21] <fiftyone> ActionParsnip,  so, how can i restore my fluxbox settings to default?
[20:21] <tom___> C-S-B: want, say, my mobile phone, to be able to browse my files.
[20:21] <C-S-B> I can browse my phone, use my phone as a remote control and send files
[20:21] <C-S-B> the other way round I've not tried.
[20:21] <tom___> C-S-B: Yes. I know how to browse devices and send stuff
[20:22] <fiftyone> ActionParsnip, also, is there someplace i can find a pre-written config file, i find it easier to work down than up from nothing.
[20:22] <tom___> C-S-B: (Those are in the right-click menu of bluetooth-applet)
[20:22] <tom___> C-S-B: Hmm, ok.
[20:23] <fiftyone> !fluxbox
[20:23] <infomomo> Hey guys, what's the best way to add volume to a song (mp3) to make it louder
[20:23] <tom___> C-S-B: gnome-user-share looks like it could do this. Mmm. It has "Share Public files over Bluetooth" in its options (System -> Preferences -> Personal File Sharing)
[20:24] <monostone> how dangerous is it to execute a dist-upgrade via ssh? I've heard different comments on the subject
[20:24] <tom___> infomomo: Turn your volume up. :) (Or `sox` might be handy too.)
[20:24] <C-S-B> tom___, I'm not got my dongle on this machine, else I'd test it all out as well for you. :/
[20:25] <infomomo> tom___: i mean editing mp3 to make them louder
[20:25] <magnetron> infomomo→ try "mp3gain" or "normalize-audio"
[20:25] <FLo_> hello
[20:25] <WaY> hello
[20:25] <Britlion> Hey guys. Got a bit of a problem - anyone know why I could only put about 2.5GB onto a 3TB storage space? I'm baffled. I can't see any quota settings, and the DF says just 2% used...
[20:26] <tom___> infomomo: The "vol" filter in `sox` supposedly does that. Also, mp3gain might be worth a try.
[20:26] <Dirky> hello! :)
[20:26] <C-S-B> I would leave the mp3 as it is and just use louder speakers, the mp3 may not have the headroom to be gained.
[20:26] <WaY> sometimes when I write in amsn or xchat, lines doesn't actualize and appears twice. What should I do?
[20:26] <C-S-B> Britlion, what filesystem?
[20:26] <WaY> I don't know if it's because of nvidia propietary driver
[20:26] <Britlion> CSB: I'm 99% certain I formatted it with ext3.
[20:26] <mnd-> Hi, I'm having trouble configuring lirc.. currently my remote works partially as a keyboard though, is that a problem?
[20:27] <FLo_> Can someone please clearify for me:
[20:27] <FLo_> Do currently millions of Ubuntu 8.04 / 8.10 users experience, that FF crashes when watching youtube, or not?
[20:27] <mnd-> and how could I disable that?
[20:27] <C-S-B> I'm sure I read that ext3 can be a bit sketchy with loads of small fiels if you have that?
[20:27] <presshere_> WaY: are you using compiz visual settings?
[20:27] <tom___> C-S-B: I believe this tool works. gnome-user-share looks to be a really easy-to-use frontend to HTTP and files through Bluetooth. It creates the directory "~/Public/" and the if you tick "Share over Bluetooth" it'll share those files over bluetooth. Similarly for HTTP I guess.
[20:27] <WaY> yes presshere_
[20:27] <Rocking-W> would it be better to format to ext2?
[20:28] <Britlion> Hmm. Doesn't linux have those itself? like everything in /ver/log? I was trying to put video on there, so the bulk of the files are hundreds of megabytes in size. It gave me a disk full at about 2.5Gig.
[20:28] <C-S-B> tom___, cool, I might have to test this later.
[20:28] <fiftyone> anyone have any problems with a really jumpy mouse in ubuntu? my mouse jumps all over the place. i am on an eeepc 1000H
[20:28] <tom___> C-S-B: Pretty primitive. I'd rather be able to add directories, that way I don't have to screw around putting all sorts of files/directories into ~/Public/ . Ah well.
[20:28] <WaY> presshere_, but watching videos works fine
[20:28] <tom___> C-S-B: Thanks for the help.
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> fiftyone: not sure, its a weird one. what part of fluxbox do you want config for?
[20:28] <rrittenhouse> I'm trying to pair my blackberry pearl with my Ubuntu Ibex box and my blackberry is asking for a passcode. What do I enter? I don't see where to set the passcode on Ubuntu
[20:28] <presshere_> WaY: the prob is in compiz...
[20:28] <infomomo> tom___: cant find sox
[20:28] <Britlion> If I exaime a directory's properties, it does duly say 45MB of free disk space... terminal's DF tends to disagree.
[20:28] <infomomo> tom___: mp3gain is windows not ubuntu :(
[20:28] <presshere_> WaY: try to use minimal visual effects
[20:29] <WaY> ok, thanks a lot, because I need my screen composited because of AWN
[20:29] <FLo_> Can someone please clearify for me:
[20:29] <FLo_> Do currently millions of Ubuntu 8.04 / 8.10 users experience, that FF crashes when watching youtube, or not?
[20:30] <WaY> FLo_, thats not my case
[20:30] <ActionParsnip> FLo_: only if a plugin is incorrectly instaled
[20:30] <Rocking-W> ff does fine for me during youtube
[20:30] <nanotube> FLo_: not sure about millions... but it's been known to happen for some people on occasion.
[20:30] <nanotube> FLo_: for me personally it does fine, though...
[20:30] <fiftyone> ActionParsnip,  the main menu, now all i have is a link for xterm i can run xtem and thats it/.
[20:30] <FLo_> i tryed this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578&page=113
[20:30] <FLo_> but the described howto does not solve the problem
[20:31] <FLo_> ActionParsnip: which ubuntu version can i use where i dont run into this problem?
[20:31] <WaY> changing to minimal visual effects have solutionated the problem presshere_, thanks a lot
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> fiftyone: type: fluxbox and hit enter
[20:31] <fiftyone> Anyone know, if you are downloading a large file from apt-get say KDE which is like 500 MB and you close your terminal if you run sudo apt-get install kde again will it resume where it left off?
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> FLo_: if you install any plugins wrongly in any Linux system, firefox will crash, so the answer is none
[20:32] <FLo_> nanotube: you are using 8.04?
[20:32] <presshere_> WaY: i`m glad ;)
[20:32] <commander__> can anyone answer my ?\
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> FLo_: are you using 32bit linux or 64bit linux?
[20:32] <FLo_> 32bit
[20:32] <hwilde> commander__, can you restate on one line please
[20:32] <f_newton> fiftyone, theoretically with yum it will as long as you dont reboot but I dont know about apt-get
[20:32] <FLo_> ActionParsnip: 32bit
[20:33] <Flyover> i dont know if this is the right place as iv just installed QUESTION iv got a d link dwl-g650+wireless card for my laptop i plug it in wate a lil wile and my hole laptop crashes

[20:33] <Pici> !jaunty | commander__
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> FLo_: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-nonfree
[20:33] <f_newton> commander__, 9.04 is still in testing... good luck
[20:34] <Pici> fiftyone: If you exit the apt-get during the download proccess, it will resume, but all bets are off if you cancel during the install portion.
[20:34] <FLo_> ActionParsnip: ok, i read ybout the nonfree flash plugin. didn't work for me unfortunaely
[20:34] <shadeslayer> i think im in love with GNOME XD
[20:34] <commander__> so far it's str8
[20:34] <f_newton> gnome works
[20:34] <Pici> commander__: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty/9.04 support/discussion.
[20:34]  * shadeslayer watches as KDE slips out of his hands
[20:34] <presshere_> gnome rulez
[20:34] <shadeslayer> :O
[20:34] <ActionParsnip> FLo_: it works awesome in 32bit
[20:34] <Flyover> i dont know if this is the right place as iv just installed QUESTION iv got a d link dwl-g650+wireless card for my laptop i plug it in wate a lil wile and my hole laptop crashes build 8.10 COULD ANY1 HELP????
[20:34] <commander__> how do i get to tht?
[20:34] <f_newton> Pici, Its ubuntu+1 for stuff like that?
[20:34] <shadeslayer> !wifi | Flyover
[20:34] <ActionParsnip> FLo_: you can also download the 32bit .so file and put it in n~/.mozilla/plugins
[20:35] <Pici> f_newton: for Jaunty? Thats the purpose of that channel, so yes.
[20:35]  * shadeslayer has 64 bit
[20:35] <f_newton> thanks I didnt know that
[20:35] <shadeslayer> btw how stable is Jaunty as of now??
[20:35] <presshere_> Flyover: had you installed the drivers?
[20:36] <fiftyone> pici, awesome thanks alot.
[20:36] <magnetron> !jaunty | shadeslayer
[20:36] <fiftyone> ActionParsnip,  do you know where i can get a pre-configured fluxbox menu? i like to trim and work down rather than work up from scratch?
[20:36] <Scunizi> on a headless server how do I make it switch from ath0 connection to a eth0 connection?
[20:37] <hwilde> Scunizi, default route in /sbin/route
[20:38] <hwilde> !jaunty | commander__
[20:38] <Teddy___> Ubuntu has an old version of my package.  How can I make sure the newer (actually working) version is included in Jaunty?
[20:39] <Scunizi> hwilde: thanks.. however when I sudo nano /sbin/route I get the file but a lot of weird characters as well.. almost like a binary file.. could the wrong character set be set someplace?
[20:39] <hwilde> Scunizi, that is a command
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> FLo_: mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins; http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz; tar zxvf ./http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz; cd install_flash_player_10_linux; cp ./libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> FLo_: fairly complete command for you there
[20:39] <hwilde> Scunizi,  just type in /sbin/route and you will see the routing table.  then type  "man route" and you will get the manual.  Basically you want to delete the default route from ath0 and add the default route to eth0  (if I understand your question right)
[20:40] <beautifulsnow> Anyone know how to check which driver my mouse should be using? (Its not working
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> FLo_: after its run you can delete the tar.gz and the install_flash_player_10linux folder
[20:40] <_VIM_> directory :P
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> same thing
[20:41] <_VIM_> ...
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> :P:P
[20:41] <Scunizi> hwilde: ok.. I'm looking at it now.. there are two routes labeled default one is ath0 and the other is etho.. could they both be connected at the same time?
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> _VIM_: technically on the disk its a file ;)
[20:41] <Flyover1> sorry about that internet crahed
[20:41] <Flyover1> i didnt install any drivers
[20:41] <cody_> Hi, how do I install ia32-lib?
[20:41] <_VIM_> bah, you got me ActionParsnip :P  nice one ;)
[20:41] <hwilde> Scunizi, ok so    /sbin/route del default gw ath0    <-- that would delete the default gateway attached to ath0
[20:41] <Scunizi> hwilde: eth0 I previously configured for static ip and ath0 when doing iwconfig shows it's dhcp
[20:41] <hwilde> Scunizi, careful if you are doing this remotely and ssh'd into the box
[20:42] <Milkeh> what's wrong with my banshee, as soon as I close it, it opens up again
[20:42] <Flyover1> it just crahes the laptop
[20:42] <Scunizi> hwilde: I am ssh'd into it
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> cody_: sudo apt-get install
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> _VIM_: its stil weird to me but makes sense
[20:42] <hwilde> Scunizi, careful man... you could destroy networking support and kick yourself out
[20:42] <Flyover1> can any1 help
[20:43] <presshere_> cody_: synaptic

[20:44] <Fazavon> paul68 sorry known_host
[20:44] <Scunizi> hwilde: I was experimenting with ssh -X after being in tty3 and doing xinit -- :1 vt12 then ssh-ing into the box and doing xfce4-session to start a gui on F12 of the client.. worked but when the gui comes up it also loads the wireless connection.. how do I verify which connection is being used without the gui running when I've ssh'd into the box?

[20:45] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: ifconfig

[20:45] <ActionParsnip> cody_: apt-cache search ia32
[20:45] <hwilde> Scunizi, do an ifconfig.   look at tx and rx bytes on the interfaces.  hopefully only one is in use?
[20:45] <Milkeh> does anybody know why my banshee opens itself back up when I close it?
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> !jaunty | jeff__
[20:45] <jeff__> yes
[20:46] <presshere_> cody_: are you sure that there is corect section selected an repositories are set as default?(in synaptic)
[20:46] <cody_> there's some lsb stuff, a microcode.ctl, and refit
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> Milkeh: check ps -ef | grep banshee
[20:46] <Flyover1> could somehelp me with a dlink dwl-g650 card crashes my laptop im running 8,10

[20:48] <Scunizi> hwilde: ActionParsnip I was just going to say that wifi0 doesn't have an ip listed.. eth0 has more TX packets but less RX packets..
[20:48] <cody_> presshere_ : how do I know if my default debs are set up?
[20:48] <ActionParsnip> Milkeh: what if you kill the process?
[20:48] <cody_> In the first tab, all of them are selected...
[20:48] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: then thats your man, you could even sudo ifdown wifi0
[20:48] <presshere_> cody_: in synaptic, settings -> repositories
[20:48] <Ape> Why doesn't my applications-menu sort the applications alphabetically anymore? I think it used to.
[20:49] <paul68> Fazavon: any Idea on this puzzle  I can ssh from my laptop to my desktop I can ping my laptop from my desktop but I am not able to ssh into my laptop from the desktop
[20:49] <Milkeh> ActionParsnip, Weird it's getting mixed up with conky I think
[20:49] <Scunizi> ActionParsnip: cool.. thanks :)
[20:49] <cody_> presshere_: on the first page, all of them are checked. Do I need a third-party?
[20:49] <BattleStarJesus> I am having trouble running an application, synfigstudio.  when I attempt to run it the program exits with the message in this post http://paste.ubuntu.com/122563/
[20:49] <SneekyPockets> WORD
[20:49] <presshere_> cody_: no
[20:49] <Milkeh> ActionParsnip, when I kill it, it does the same thing but opens up conky, I added conky as an auto start program and wouldn't auto start
[20:50] <cody_> presshere_: Then I'm not really sure why this isn't working...
[20:50] <ActionParsnip> presshere_: good catch dude :)
[20:50] <Scunizi> ActionParsnip: seems trying to do that shows that it wifi0 is already down.. :-))
[20:50] <BattleStarJesus> Some kind of GtkSpinButton problem
[20:50] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: then don't sweat it
[20:50] <Milkeh> ActionParsnip, oh wait it's managed to open back up and it's not in the process list
[20:50] <presshere_> cody_: those libs are installed by default, are you sure you need to install them?
[20:51] <shadeslayer> eh im leaving
[20:51] <shadeslayer> bye all
[20:51] <cody_> Even if they were installed, shouldn't they say that they're installed, as opposed to telling me that they don't exist?
[20:51] <Flyover1> could any1 point me in the way of Davis Vlasenko driver for my g650+ drivers
[20:51] <Quontrex_Ashimi> afternoon guys, I have transplanted a fresh install from 1 machine to another, is there a way for it to redetect the network card?
[20:51] <danielfolsom> does anyone know if there's a way to use an external editor on a file from the terminal if you have to ssh into another computer/server in order to get that file?
[20:51] <Milkeh> ActionParsnip, hold on a second I'll be back
[20:52] <ActionParsnip> Milkeh: rerun the ps command
[20:52] <cody_> presshere_: Even if they were installed, shouldn't they say that they're installed, as opposed to telling me that they don't exist?
[20:52] <hwilde> Scunizi, why is it essential to turn of wireless?
[20:52] <Milkeh> ActionParsnip, harley    3131  2802  0 06:52 pts/0    00:00:00 grep banshee
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> Milkeh: then its not there
[20:53] <presshere_> cody_: who was telling you that they dont exist? i mean what are you trying to do?
[20:53] <Milkeh> ActionParsnip, when I killed conky I managed to close it without it popping back up
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> Milkeh: how di you launch banshe?
[20:53] <koen_> hey
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> *di
[20:53] <BattleStarJesus>  I am having trouble running an application, synfigstudio.  When I attempt to run it the program exits with the message in this post http://paste.ubuntu.com/122563/ Do any of you have suggestions how to remedy this?
[20:54] <Milkeh> ActionParsnip, I never even launched banshee :s
[20:54] <koen_> i want hotmail in ubuntu
[20:54] <koen_> how do i do it?
[20:54] <koen_> i tryed evrything
[20:54] <Quontrex_Ashimi> is there something I can dpkg-reconfigure to make it redetect network cards?
[20:54] <koen_> but noting works
[20:54] <cody_> presshere_: Well. when I apt-get install the package, it says it couldnt find it, shouldn't it say that it's already installed?
[20:54] <adubz> this program i keep getting an error over and over libglib1.2 dependency needed when i try to install i have every instance of libglib1.2 installed?
[20:54] <Flyover1> Davis Vlasenko drivers could any1 point me to to the driver for DLINK g650+
[20:54] <ActionParsnip> Milkeh: i'd reboot so you have a fresh boot and investigate
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> Flyover1: the make / model is fairly useless info
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> Flyover1: is it usb or internal?
[20:55] <_VIM_> paul68: you can take a look at my sshd_config and copy it... http://paste.ubuntu.com/122567/
[20:55] <koen_> guiz?
[20:55] <Flyover1> dlink air plusG+ dwl-g650+
[20:55] <Flyover1> its a big card
[20:56] <koen_> do you guys know how to get your hotmail mail working in thunderbird/evolution i dont care under ubuntu
[20:56] <paul68> _VIM_: is that for the desktop ?
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> Flyover1: is it pci or usb?
[20:56] <presshere_> cody_: yes, it must say that they all installed
[20:56] <_VIM_> its the ssh server config paul68
[20:56] <paul68> _VIM_: ok
[20:56] <metajemo> hi, i am trying to install a few libraries but i dont know where to find them.for example libz. any idea how to figure where they are being kept?
[20:56] <cody_> presshere_: It doesn't, and that's why I'm asking
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> cody_: you need to enable restricted and 3rd party repo
[20:57] <_VIM_> paul68: after you replace it you need to do sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart
[20:57] <Flyover1> its for a laptop that plus inside
[20:57] <tomsh> someone installed 8.10 with mdadm?
[20:57] <cody_> presshere_: Both are. Uni, multi, res, and 3rd party are all enabled
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> Flyover1: ok. run: lspci; lsusb
[20:57] <Scunizi> hwilde: not really essential.. it's a headless server that has a hard line and a functional wireless card.  When experimenting with remote X via ssh I didn't want to rely on the wireless connection and wanted to make sure that it wasn't working.. weird thing is when I do load the gui remotely the wireless comes alive and gets a DHCP address that is different from the static one I set on eth0.
[20:58] <Flyover1> PCMCIA
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> Flyover1: one line from the output you get from both commands will output an identifier for the card which will identify the chip in the device
[20:58] <tomsh> i can't install grub on mbr after installing on mdadm md device
[20:58] <Flyover1> when i plug the card in it crahes the laptop
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> Flyover1: the fact its a dlink is fairly useless info
[20:58] <hwilde> Scunizi, so you logged in over eth0, and then started the gui, which started ath0?   That means to me you are logged in via eth0.   Set a delayed reboot in the background, then kill the wireless.  If it's all good you cancle the reboot.  If not it reboots and you try again
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> Flyover1: does it crash if the card is plugged in the turn on the laptop
[20:59] <Milkeh> ActionParsnip, thanks I solved the problem
[20:59] <_VIM_> paul68: also is port 22 open? go to https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 and run a scan , if it says "STEALTH" then you're going to have to open that port in the router, ubuntu doesn't block ports by default
[20:59] <Ape> Is it possible to set GOOM visualization size to even larger than "extra large"? With extra large it draws the graphic with 800x600 resolution (and then scales it for wanted resolution). It would be nice to get the graphic with the native resolution of my screen. I have power in my computer so that is not a problem.
[20:59] <paul68> _VIM_: just tested if I was able to ssh onto my server that is working only not working when pointing to my laptop
[20:59] <Flyover1> when i plug it in it crahes do a reboot it crahes on a black screen
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> Milkeh: sweet
[21:00] <Flyover1> iv read on hardware that i need the drivers
[21:00] <_VIM_> ok paul68 well if you can get physical access to the lappy i'd run a test at that Shields Up site as well
[21:00] <Flyover1> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsDlink#PCMCIA
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> Flyover1: then try booting with acpi turned off
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | Flyover1
[21:01] <Quontrex_Ashimi> guys is there a way to detect my network device again?
[21:01] <NimaG`> ur
[21:01] <Flyover1> kk brb
[21:01] <danielfolsom> 	does anyone know if there's a way to use an external editor on a file from the terminal if you have to ssh into another computer/server in order to get that file?
[21:01] <Quontrex_Ashimi> something like dpkg-reconfigure networking or something?
[21:01] <hwilde> Quontrex_Ashimi, /etc/init.d/networking restart
[21:01] <Quontrex_Ashimi> its not finding eth0
[21:01] <hwilde> danielfolsom, nano is a command line text editor
[21:01] <[ifrog]> !came
[21:02] <Quontrex_Ashimi> hwilde I did that, did this install in another machine and transplanted the drive due to no usb support and no cdrom
[21:02] <metajemo> hi, i am trying to install a few libraries but i dont know where to find them.for example libz. any idea how to figure where they are being kept?
[21:02] <shadeslayer> hey is openoffice 3.0.1 available for ubuntu
[21:02] <hwilde> danielfolsom, otherwise you gotta ssh -X into the other machine to allow exporting the display of the gui text editor
[21:02] <Scunizi> hwilde: I follow some of your logic.. I don't know how to do a delayed reboot in background. But once the gui is up shouldn't I be able to shut wireless off either via the gui or terminal and have it auto connect on the hardline? also if I connect via ssh on the hardline and get the gui doesn't that mean that both are active at the same time? with the ssh session on hardline and the outbound internet connection on the gui only on wireless?
[21:02] <presshere_> Quontrex_Ashimi: ifconfig
[21:03] <_VIM_> danielfolsom: Emacs *gags* has a server built in i believe that would let you do that very thing.
[21:03] <Quontrex_Ashimi> presshere_: I get loopback but no eth0 in ifconfig
[21:03] <presshere_> Quontrex_Ashimi: eth0 up
[21:03] <shadeslayer> nm
[21:03] <hwilde> Scunizi,   man shutdown          basically you want option -r to reboot and then put a time like 120 I think it is in seconds
[21:03] <_VIM_> danielfolsom: get the emacs-snapshot though if you do plan to get it. It's beta, but it's a very stable beta, it's in the repos too
[21:04] <Quontrex_Ashimi> presshere_: Error while getting interface flags: no such device
[21:04] <Scunizi> hwilde: ok.. I'll look at that. thanks.. might have to try later tonight .. work calls.. :(
[21:04] <presshere_> Quontrex_Ashimi: this is the first time you use a this network adapter?
[21:05] <cosmodad> can anyone tell me why my 25 GB ext3 partition (according to cfdisk) shows up as 10 GB partition on `df -h' only?
[21:05] <Quontrex_Ashimi> presshere_: I installed this on another machine and transplanted the drive into my lappy
[21:05] <Quontrex_Ashimi> presshere_: so yes
[21:06] <monostone> how dangerous is it to execute a dist-upgrade via ssh? I want to upgrade my dedicated webserver, but i dont feel like paying the 100$+ per hour for my hosting provider to fix it if something messes up and I can't ssh anymore into my box
[21:06] <metajemo> hi, i am trying to install a few libraries but i dont know where to find them.for example libz. any idea how to figure where they are being kept?
[21:06] <normad> hey, how i need to change my resolution but for that i have to change the HorizSync and VertRefr but with 'sudo ddcprobe | grep monitorrange' nothing happens
[21:06] <guntbert> cosmodad: please pastebin the output of df -h and sudo fdisk -l
[21:06] <maxb> There's someone in #ubuntu-classroom who says he's banned from this channel, is there an op around who can decide whether to unban him?
[21:06] <maxb> !ops
[21:07] <^MadDog^> anywone have tried to compile xen 2.6.27 on 8.10 ?
[21:07] <Myrtti> maxb: please guide him to #ubuntu-ops
[21:07] <Seeker`> maxb: that is only for emergencies
[21:07] <Pici> maxb: Please have them ask in #ubuntu-ops and DONT use that trigger unless its an emergency.
[21:07] <maxb> Ah, sorry, I did not know of the existence of #ubuntu-ops
[21:07] <blodski> is it possible to get to the menu items with using keyboard only?
[21:07] <Quontrex_Ashimi> presshere_:any ideas?
[21:08] <Ape> Why doesn't my applications-menu sort the applications alphabetically anymore? I think it used to.
[21:08] <Mip5_> Hey Gang - I'm trying to rescue a system, and can't seem to get grub installed - system just hangs and cursor blinks in upper left hand corner
[21:08] <epqr> whats an emergency ?:P
[21:08] <epqr> like in irc
[21:08] <Seveas> Ape, it still does, they changed the alphabet :)
[21:08] <Myrtti> epqr: not that
[21:08] <Quontrex_Ashimi> when the blue smoke comes out
[21:08] <DrMax> I have a bluetooth related question: is there something special to do to enable powersave mode on the keyboard when unused?
[21:08] <epqr> lol
[21:08] <presshere_> Quontrex_Ashimi: i cant understan what have you done with your network adapter(eth0)
[21:08] <peque> hi??+
[21:08] <DrMax> Mip5_ : alt-f1
[21:08] <Seveas> Quontrex_Ashimi, no, the blue smoke isn't an emergency. Only green or worse :)
[21:08] <Ape> Seveas: Currently new applications will be always put on the end of the list
[21:09] <cosmodad> guntbert: here you go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/122574/
[21:09] <Mip5_> DrMax: Thanks - but I'm not even getting there. Grub never loads -
[21:09] <Seveas> Ape, odd. Does that ordering persist when logging out and back in?
[21:09] <presshere_> Quontrex_Ashimi: are you sure all connection are ok?
[21:09] <Mip5_> I've got a rescue CD in there now. I should be able to reinstall grub to (hd0,0)
[21:10] <Quontrex_Ashimi> presshere_: ok heres the rundown, I installed 8.10 on a p3 750 desktop with a realtec nic, removed the drive and placed it in my laptop (no usb support no cdrom) and need to redetect the stinkin intel adaptor in the laptop
[21:10] <Ape> Seveas: Yes, I noticed that about few weeks ago and it still puts my new applications to the end of the list today.
[21:10] <Quontrex_Ashimi> or install a driver or something
[21:10] <Mip5_> Is there a way to check if grub is installed correctly? I could continue to reboot, but this is a server, and it boots pretty slowly.
[21:10] <kkkduifjalsdd> is there an alternative for firefox?
[21:10] <^MadDog^> safari
[21:10] <Quontrex_Ashimi> opera?
[21:11] <Seveas> Ape, would you mind posting a screenshot?
[21:11] <guntbert> cosmodad: at first it looks strange, did you resize the partition?
[21:11] <Sw3RvE> why? firefox is awesome :)
[21:11] <cosmodad> guntbert: no I didn't.
[21:11] <_VIM_> Opera, but it's closed sourced
[21:11] <Seveas> kkkduifjalsdd, opera, konqueror, epiphany (to name a few)
[21:11] <^MadDog^> netscape communicator
[21:11] <Ape> Seveas: What would you do with a screenshot
[21:11] <^MadDog^> navigator
[21:11] <Seveas> Ape, trying to reproduce it :)
[21:11] <kkkduifjalsdd> thx
[21:11] <cosmodad> guntbert: I fsck'ed it to, but to no avail.
[21:11] <Quontrex_Ashimi> wine and IE :)
[21:11] <Ape> Seveas: It happens with all applications.

[21:12] <McAbsent> >.>
[21:12] <presshere_> Quontrex_Ashimi: had you installed latest auto drivers?(sudo apt-get update)
[21:12] <McAbsent> Hello?
[21:12] <guntbert> cosmodad: that was my next proposal...
[21:12] <presshere_> Quontrex_Ashimi: then restart
[21:12] <fontpeg> hi all
[21:12] <^MadDog^> lynx
[21:12] <Quontrex_Ashimi> presshere_: it doesnt see the network so I dont see where apt-get update will do a whole lot
[21:12] <McAbsent> I need help booting ubuntu in my pc
[21:13] <fontpeg> did you make a disk?
[21:13] <cosmodad> guntbert: if you know of any in-depth checking switch for fsck, let me know.
[21:13] <McAbsent> Yes,.
[21:13] <guntbert> cosmodad: do you remember the size of the file system reported by fsck?
[21:13] <trumee> guys, i am new to ubuntu. I tried to re-install asterisk by doing apt-get --reinstall install asterisk. The package gets installed by the files /etc/asterisk are not updated
[21:13] <McAbsent> But it freezes when i try to boot from it
[21:13] <fontpeg> did you go into your bios and change the boot order?
[21:13] <cosmodad> guntbert: what do you mean by remember?
[21:13] <McAbsent> Yup
[21:13] <trumee> how can i re-install a package in ubuntu.
[21:13] <epqr> there suddenly was a tar.gz package (it was a theme) that was mounted (like a HD) on my machine
[21:13] <Quontrex_Ashimi> trumee: sudo apt-get --purge asterisk then sudo apt-get install asterisk
[21:13] <keyton> which programs can handle all virtual image types, right now i need it for bin or cue images
[21:13] <epqr> thats wierd :S
[21:13] <McAbsent> I tryed to install it directly and nothing.
[21:14] <epqr> weird
[21:14] <PH_ZOM> trumee: in synaptic, there is a reinstall option
[21:14] <cosmodad> guntbert: you mean when I first installed it?
[21:14] <McAbsent> I tryed to boot like a live cd and nothing.
[21:14] <Quontrex_Ashimi> trumee make that sudo apt-get --purge remove asterisk
[21:14] <IcemanV9> trumee: sudo aptitude reinstall <package-name>
[21:14] <McAbsent> I tryed with linux mint too.
[21:14] <fdontcry> fala rapaziada!!!!!!!!!
[21:14] <guntbert> cosmodad: you cannot (=shouldn't) fsck a mounted file system, so you must do it from a live CD
[21:14] <McAbsent> But i get the same problem
[21:14] <trumee> Quontrex_Ashimi, i get E: Invalid operation asterisk
[21:15] <fontpeg> strange, anyway I am having a problem with my Atheros wireless card in my acer 5720z laptop; it shows the driver in the list but the network icon does not have any kind of wireless option at all
[21:15] <Quontrex_Ashimi> trumee: make that sudo apt-get --purge remove asterisk
[21:15] <trumee> Quontrex_Ashimi, ok read your new command
[21:15] <blodski> i'll repeat myself, is it possible to get to the menu items with using keyboard only?
[21:15] <suppressingfire> keyton: you want to unpack bin/cue files?
[21:15] <cosmodad> guntbert: oh sorry didn't catch you said fsck. No I don't remember, and yes I did the check on the umounted FS.
[21:15] <cosmodad> guntbert: want me to check again? This isn't the machine I'm writing from right now anyway.
[21:16] <ferdostar> blodski Alt+F1
[21:16] <fdontcry> helo!!
[21:16] <esteeven> hello #ubuntu
[21:16] <blodski> thx ferdostar
[21:16] <cosmodad> guntbert: I mean the affected machine isn't the one I'm chatting from right now.
[21:16] <guntbert> cosmodad: it might help, be sure to use fsck -f (to force the check)
[21:16] <Quontrex_Ashimi> presshere_: sudo apt-get update and then reboot no joy

[21:18] <cosmodad> guntbert: rebooting now...
[21:18] <Kultom> GuyFromHell, , be more spesific in your search
[21:18] <rvn> GuyFromHell, pipe the command into |more or |less or |grep "something"
[21:18] <rvn> ?
[21:19] <GuyFromHell> Kultom, apt-cache search openoffice
[21:19] <McAbsent> in detailed mode, i see "cpu trhottling is 8
[21:19] <GuyFromHell> in my mind it doesn't get more specific...
[21:19] <rvn> GuyFromHell, apt-cache search openoffice | more
[21:19]  * fontpeg *sigh*
[21:19] <GuyFromHell> rvn, eww more. regardless that's not a solution that's a workaround :P
[21:19] <rvn> GuyFromHell, also , you want "openoffice.org"
[21:19] <guntbert> cosmodad: ok, say, when its up again
[21:19] <phlex> I see the latest git (1.6.1.3) isn't yet in any of Ubuntu's package repositories. Is there some alternative source for newer packages?

[21:21] <Kultom> Milkeh, installed with a .deb/from repository or from a .tgz?
[21:22] <Milkeh> Kultom, an rpm converted into a .deb
[21:22] <IcemanV9> Milkeh: presshere_ meant in the terminal, type "which vmware" (without quotes, of course)
[21:22] <presshere_> Milkeh: yes
[21:22] <skx> I am editing gnome menu with alacarte and it's a pain -- changes can take seconds to effect, I can't move more than one object and everytime I do focus is shifted to the folder where is was moved. Is there any better editor? Or is there a way to make alacarte behave more reasonable?
[21:22] <skx> btw how to edit places and system menus?
[21:23] <keyton> which programs can handle all virtual image types, right now i need it for bin or cue images
[21:23] <LinuxOS> to built a cluster: is it necessary for the master node to have the same processor as the slave nodes (e.g can the master be a P4 and the slave nodes AMD Athlon Dual core)?
[21:23] <McAbsent> i really need help, there is no way to make linux work on that laptop
[21:23] <Milkeh> IcemanV9, oh
[21:23] <Milkeh> presshere_, it entered into the terminal, but did nothing
[21:23] <presshere_> Milkeh: how had you installed vmware?
[21:23] <keyton> or just script for  nautilus
[21:23] <Milkeh> presshere_, I used a .deb file
[21:23] <Quontrex_Ashimi> ok how do I manually install a driver for an intel nic?
[21:23] <marquinos> Hi!
[21:23] <McAbsent> why ignore me?
[21:24] <peque> mcabsent
[21:24] <presshere_> Milkeh: are you sure installation was succesful?
[21:24] <marquinos> Exist some channel for OpenOffice translations?
[21:24] <peque> i am ignored too
[21:24] <peque> :)
[21:24] <Milkeh> presshere_, yes it even said the installation was complete
[21:24] <McAbsent> they should use mp instead
[21:24] <cosmodad> guntbert: I appended fsck output to pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/122580/
[21:24] <presshere_> Milkeh: had you follow READMY instruction?
[21:24] <mamaro> I am trying to get my tv tuner working, ubuntu wants it located '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' but there is nothing there, I am able to see my tuner using lsusb -v
[21:25] <Milkeh> presshere_, I have no READMY instructions?
[21:25] <cosmodad> guntbert: hmm I guess this isn't the total block size
[21:25] <presshere_> Milkeh: you writed in terminal ./config then make?
[21:25] <marquinos> or how can I test the translations of Openoffice in ubuntu? :)
[21:25] <cosmodad> guntbert: that's all fsck gave me (apart from the progress bar) -- want me to restart fsck with some additional switch to make it more verbose?
[21:25] <McAbsent> i have a
[21:26] <guntbert> cosmodad: now, if I only remembered the units used by fsck ;)
[21:26] <fontpeg> I am having a problem with my Atheros wireless card in my acer 5720z laptop; it shows the driver in the list but the network icon does not have any kind of wireless option at all, can anyone help? screanshot: http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/6277/imageg.jpg
[21:26] <Quontrex_Ashimi> presshere_: lspci shows my intel corporation 82557/8/9/0/1 ethernet pro (rev 09) but it doesnt initialize? ideas? I can get to the usb now to install a driver if you have ideas how to do that
[21:26] <vigo> marquinos: Type some stuff, then use Babelfish -AltaVista to test it.
[21:26] <cosmodad> guntbert: I guess it's 512 byte blocks. Still, I think the figure reported by fsck is only the 5.5%.
[21:26] <marquinos> vigo, ????
[21:27] <marquinos> vigo, The translations is finished, but we like review
[21:27] <marquinos> ;)
[21:27] <presshere_> Milkeh: please explain me, in steps, how had you installed vmware
[21:27] <cosmodad> guntbert: I better double-check that in the man-page...
[21:27] <guntbert> cosmodad: no, the 5.5% is fragmentation
[21:27] <pureRadiance> wheres the grub loader located?
[21:27] <vigo> marquinos: Do you know what Babel Fish is?
[21:27] <marquinos> I did search in Google
[21:27] <McAbsent> T235o Core Duo -notebook, i cannot make ubuntu run, it freezes after a few seconds, says something like "cpu0 throttling is 8", windows xp sp3 works fine, but i dont want windows, i want linux!!!
[21:27] <marquinos> but I didn't find any help
[21:27] <sebsebseb> pureRadiance:  /boot/grub
[21:27] <mamaro> any ideas? I am trying to get my tv tuner working, ubuntu wants it located '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' but there is nothing there, I am able to see my tuner using lsusb -v
[21:27] <marquinos> vigo, Babel Fish is an online translator, isn't?
[21:27] <pureRadiance> sebsebseb: is it grub.conf?
[21:28] <vigo> marquinos: Yes it is, it is on alta vista
[21:28] <sebsebseb> pureRadiance: what do you want to do?
[21:28] <Seveas> Ape, do you happen to have a ~/.local/share/applications/compiz-switch.desktop?
[21:28] <marquinos> vigo: the translation is do it!
[21:28] <marquinos> ;)
[21:28] <McAbsent> i have also, problems with the DVD Ram, is called the "Matshita 800 series issue", is there a way to install linux over the net?
[21:28] <marquinos> I don't need the translator
[21:28] <guntbert> cosmodad: you can always use -v for verbosity
[21:28] <Ape> Seveas: "No such file or directory"
[21:28] <pureRadiance> sebsebseb: edit default and grub image
[21:28] <marquinos> I need check the translations from Launchpad
[21:28] <CyberSurfer> Can anyone tell me a good torrent client excluding transmission?
[21:28] <sebsebseb> pureRadiance: yeah have a look in that folder
[21:28] <Seveas> Ape, or anything with a similar filename in that directory?
[21:29] <sebsebseb> CyberSurfer: Ktorrent
[21:29] <pureRadiance> sebsebseb: danke
[21:29] <vigo> marquinos: I thought you were asking for a translation checker, that is about the best I know
[21:29] <Ape> Seveas: I can't find anything for compiz-switch
[21:29] <Daniel_G> i have an application located in /usr/local/bin, but when i run the command for the app it comes back with "No such file or directory", since it seems to be looking in /usr/bin for the app, how do i change where it looks?
[21:29] <CyberSurfer> Thanks
[21:29] <Kultom> CyberSurfer, Deluge
[21:29] <Seveas> Ape, it is possible to edit the menus (rightclick on applications, select edit menus), I think compiz-switch was once moved. Terminator is right where it should be
[21:29] <Ape> Seveas: But I can spot some other applications
[21:29] <marquinos> vigo: My language isn't in Altavista ;)
[21:29] <marquinos> or Google :(
[21:29] <McAbsent> this is frustrating
[21:29] <CyberSurfer> Thanks
[21:30] <Seveas> Ape, I just don't know where that menu editor stores it changes, I thought it was in the .desktop files in .local/share :)
[21:30] <haz_> Hey guys, how do you think what's the best firewall for ubuntu?
[21:30] <Ape> Seveas: I can edit and I have moved some applications. For sure I haven't move compiz-switch
[21:30] <vigo> marquinos: Launch two browsers, copy and ,,oh wait, what language?
[21:30] <guntbert> cosmodad: did you use -f ?
[21:30] <marquinos> asturian language
[21:30] <marquinos> vigo
[21:30] <duelboot> haz_, I like firestarter, but there are plenty of others
[21:30] <marquinos> vigo: asturian language
[21:30] <cosmodad> guntbert: yeah the file-check was done.
[21:30] <sebsebseb> haz_: a hardware firewall
[21:30] <cosmodad> guntbert: -v doesn't output any more.
[21:30] <haz_> yeah the first one that googled was firestarter
[21:30] <haz_> :)
[21:31] <Seveas> Ape, ah! ~/.config/menus
[21:31] <cosmodad> guntbert: Google indicates that fsck uses the file-system's blocksize. How'd I figure that out again?
[21:31] <sebsebseb> haz_: hardware firewall the best for any OS
[21:31] <sebsebseb> haz_: if you have a router you probably have as part of your router
[21:31] <duelboot> haz_, there's another...something like gufw that I read about that seems useful as well
[21:31] <Seveas> Ape, I think that if you move that folder out of the way and reload the panel, it'll be fixed
[21:31] <anabolix> hey guys anyone know a good terminal based mail client i can use? something i can access gmail and hotmail with if that is possible?
[21:31] <sebsebseb> !firewall
[21:31] <duelboot> haz_, or you could just read the 1000 page book on iptables
[21:31] <haz_> :D
[21:31] <fontpeg> I am having a problem with my Atheros wireless card in my acer 5720z laptop; it shows the driver in the list but the network icon does not have any kind of wireless option at all, can anyone help? screanshot: http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/6277/imageg.jpg
[21:31] <Ape> Seveas: I try to rename the folder
[21:31] <haz_> yeah i have a router
[21:32] <sebsebseb> haz_: well then turn your hardware firewall on if it's not already
[21:32] <Milkeh> presshere_, sorry was brushing my teeth, I downloaded the official .rpm file, I converted it to a .deb file with alien and installed it.
[21:32] <pureRadiance> sebsebseb: Do you know what image editor can handle TGA image files so I can make an image for the grub?
[21:32] <sebsebseb> pureRadiance: no, but you can get Kubuntu Grub images
[21:32] <Milkeh> presshere_, with Geedebi package intstaller
[21:32] <duelboot> sebsebseb, haz_, I use both...yes redundant, but I care about internal traffic as well
[21:32] <pureRadiance> sebsebseb: hate to be a pain...but whats the best place that you know of?
[21:33] <vigo> marquinos: Will Dutch work?
[21:33] <sebsebseb> pureRadiance: best place I know of?
[21:33] <marquinos> vigo: how?
[21:33] <Ape> Seveas: That worked, but it also removed my custom settings. I don't want to show up some entries on the list.
[21:33] <mamaro> I am trying to get my tv tuner working, ubuntu wants it located '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' but there is nothing there, I am able to see my tuner using lsusb -v. what step am i missing?
[21:33] <marquinos> vigo: I like download the Launchpad translations and check it all is fine ;)
[21:33] <vigo> marquinos: Dutch to English
[21:33] <guntbert> cosmodad: I remember something, try to get my thoughts together
[21:33] <haz_> Well i need one with a simple logger, so i can monitor connections
[21:33] <Ape> Seveas: Some application I never use, but that I want to keep installed
[21:33] <cosmodad> guntbert: same here...
[21:33] <shadeslayer> hi,how do i change the image of the loading bar which comes in the beginning to ubuntu from Kubuntu??
[21:33] <marquinos> vigo: I don't undertand why I need Duch to English
[21:34] <kristian1> how do i get flash via apt-get?
[21:34] <vigo> marquinos: Just trying to assist...
[21:34] <BlueEagle> !flash | kristian1
[21:34] <Seveas> Ape, you can either put the folder back and move compiz-switch to its place or simply hide that app again :)
[21:34] <keeees> hey guys!
[21:34] <marquinos> vigo: ;)
[21:34] <Flyover> hey is the peson ere i was talking to last time lol fogot the name
[21:34] <Ape> Seveas: If I edit something, will this bug appear again?
[21:35] <presshere_> Milkeh: maybe is best to choice virtualbox, thats what i use and it works fine ;)
[21:35] <keeees> i'm using 8.10 server :)
[21:35] <xaviur> i'm running 64-bit ubuntu but need to install a 32-bit app, whats the command to get the required libraries?
[21:35] <Royall> There was an error in my Jaunty update! I rebooted, now there's about a million unseen windows on the panel
[21:35] <TheNumber> Hi Minna San :)
[21:35] <shadeslayer> hi,how do i change the image of the loading bar which comes in the beginning to ubuntu from Kubuntu??
[21:35] <Seveas> Ape, I hope not
[21:35] <Seveas> if it does, please file it
[21:35] <cosmodad> guntbert: dumpe2fs ...
[21:35] <sebsebseb> !app
[21:35] <sebsebseb> !32bit
[21:35] <keeees> anyone use IRCii, it's so sexy!
[21:35] <BlueEagle> !bot | sebsebseb
[21:36] <kristian1> BlueEagle : thanks.
[21:36] <BlueEagle> kristian1: You're welcome.
[21:36] <sebsebseb> !botabuse |  BlueEagle
[21:36] <xaviur> i'm running 64-bit ubuntu but need to install a 32-bit app, whats the command to get the required libraries?
[21:36] <keeees> hi blueeagle :D
[21:36] <BlueEagle> sebsebseb: Yeah, that was the one I was looking for.
[21:36] <shadeslayer> hi,how do i change the image of the loading bar which comes in the beginning to ubuntu from Kubuntu??
[21:36] <vigo> DOS?
[21:36] <duelboot> shadeslayer, wish I knew...happened to me once...didn't spend enough time to figure it out...it went away next time I did a fresh install though :)
[21:37] <ajeqwer> omg omg help I have lost ext3 partition after trying to install win 98!!
[21:37] <rvn> there's a  bug in the HAL of ubuntu that hasn't been addressed and has been lurking around since 2006, and now it is affecting me in 2009...
[21:37] <guntbert> cosmodad: *that* delivers a lot...
[21:37] <rvn> ubuntu does not detect printers that are attached to a usb parallel port
[21:37] <rvn> i.e., centronix->usb cable
[21:37] <xaviur> anyone know if there's a 64-bit version of sheepshaver in .deb flavor?!!
[21:37] <rvn> it just detects the cable
[21:37] <BlueEagle> shadeslayer: If you install kubuntu-desktop before ubuntu-desktop you may be stuck with the kubuntu splash. Not sure how to fix that, sorry.
[21:37] <google33> hi keeees
[21:38] <cwillu> shadeslayer, I know there's an easier/more direct way to do it, but removing kubuntu-splash and reinstalling ubuntu-splash  (trying to remember the actual package names, but that's the gist of it)
[21:38] <cosmodad> guntbert: grep -i 'block size' yields 4K
[21:38] <ajeqwer> anyone does know how to restore data from lost ext3 partition ???
[21:39] <cwillu> !info uplash-theme-ubuntu | shadeslayer
[21:39] <xaviur> is there anyone here good at compiling ?
[21:39] <BlueEagle> ajeqwer: fsck and look in lost+found
[21:39] <duelboot> ajeqwer, try a rescue or live disk...mount it, then move the info
[21:39] <cwillu> ajeqwer, if you installed windows after, you probably just need to recover grub
[21:39] <shadeslayer> nm
[21:39] <skx> I am editing gnome menu with alacarte and it's a pain -- changes can take seconds to effect, I can't move more than one object and everytime I do focus is shifted to the folder where is was moved. Is there any better editor? Or is there a way to make alacarte behave more reasonable?
[21:39] <cwillu> !grub | ajeqwer
[21:39] <shadeslayer> i found how to change ir
[21:39] <Zak28> somoen know how to remove network panel icon ?
[21:39] <xaviur> is there an app that can convert rpg to .deb?
[21:40] <xaviur> err rpm
[21:40] <cosmodad> guntbert: ok so blocksize * 4096 / 1024^3 results in ~10 GB, the number given by df -h.
[21:40] <cwillu> !info usplash-theme-ubuntu | shadeslayer
[21:40] <dotsign> hello every one]
[21:40] <whabo> http://pastebin.com/m1b04f568 help me anyone????
[21:40] <cwillu> xaviur, yes, although you don't really want to do that unless you have no choice at all
[21:40] <dotsign> hello i need messenger for ubuntu
[21:40] <haz_> Hey guys, having a bit a problem, ubuntu can't recognize my root password in the terminal, but whenever a window pops up he accepts the password... WTF?
[21:41] <duelboot> dotsign, pidgin and others will get you there
[21:41] <xaviur> cwillu: i need a 64-bit version of sheepshaver
[21:41] <Zak28> u have to create it first
[21:41] <sebsebseb> dotsign: Windows Live Messenger does not run  in Wine, well it might, but run really bad, however good alternatives to it
[21:41] <guntbert> cosmodad: anyway: what I'm getting at is: it looks as if your file system is smaller than your partition, then you could try to resize the FS with sudo resize2fs /dev/sda6, to use the whole partition
[21:41] <Zak28> create root password in users and groups
[21:41] <duelboot> haz_, are you sure it's "root" password or yours...by default there is no root password, but it can be enabled later
[21:41] <cosmodad> guntbert: how dangerous is that resize operation?
[21:42] <duelboot> haz_, sudo -s in terminal and you can get root
[21:42] <cwillu> cosmodad, no more dangerous than defragging
[21:42] <Milkeh> presshere_, Package 'vmware-workstation_6.5.1-126131_i386.deb' was installed
[21:43] <cwillu> xaviur, I'm only seeing macosx when I search for that
[21:43] <haz_> oh... s2pid me :)
[21:43] <presshere_> Milkeh: and it works?
[21:43] <cosmodad> cwillu: so invoking it without parameters (to enlarge to partition file size according to the man-page) should *not* yield havoc?
[21:43] <xaviur> cwillu: there's a 32-bit version in .deb format
[21:43] <presshere_> Milkeh: can you find vmware in Applications?
[21:43] <haz_> just got out of Windows...
[21:43] <cwillu> cosmodad, you're on a livecd?
[21:43] <haz_> :)
[21:43] <cwillu> xaviur, link?
[21:43] <ajeqwer> BlueEagle, duelboot, duelboot. I lost /dev/sda1 main ext3 partition with ubuntu and much data.... other partition intact. I tried to install win98, but win98 failed to install... after reboot I found that I lost OS partition... Now in live mode I run gparted and /dev/sda1 has been converted to fat16 but in gparted I can see percent of used space and free space on partition but when I mount there is nothing. I tried to fix partition from gparted using check 
[21:44] <guntbert> cosmodad: it asks you to fsck first, you would fsck afterwards - I did it recently for I switched to LVM and so had to move things around a bit, this is not windows, I regard it as not dangerous
[21:44] <cwillu> cosmodad, from a livecd, might be easier just to use gparted
[21:44] <cosmodad> cwillu: right now, I'm in single-user mode (or however it's called) with the / partition umounted.
[21:44] <xaviur> cwillu: i pm'd you the link
[21:45] <duelboot> ajeqwer, no help here...sorry
[21:45] <xaviur> cwillu: probably if i just had the 32-bit libraries i could just install it that way, but i don't remember the command for that
[21:45] <Milkeh> presshere_, nothing, http://paste.ubuntu.com/122585/
[21:45] <guntbert> cwillu: the problem of cosmodad seems to be that his FS is only half of the partition
[21:45] <Royall_> Aug
[21:45] <ajeqwer> duelboot, no problem thanx for trying to help
[21:46] <Royall_> Whenever I boot Ubuntu Jaunty after intall
[21:46] <Royall_> install
[21:46] <Royall_> I get windows opening
[21:46] <Royall_> constantly
[21:46] <Royall_> like, 4per second
[21:46] <Royall_> all in my panel, not visib;e
[21:46] <cwillu> cosmodad, if you have a livecd around, you can just boot off that, and resize the partition graphically -> system | administration | gnome partition editor
[21:46] <Myrtti> !jaunty | Royall_
[21:46] <sebsebseb> Royall_: Jaunty is a bug release not been released yet
[21:46] <dotsign> i need to run any messenger anyone have idea for that ??????
[21:47] <sebsebseb> dotsign: AMSN and Kmess are good for MSN
[21:47] <presshere_> Milkeh: there is a problem in installatio, there is no full data for vmware...no /bin files
[21:47] <duelboot> dotsign, pidgin as well
[21:47] <cosmodad> cwillu: unfortunately, I don't, and my CD burner just broke last week. I guess I can't do this from an unmounted / FS...
[21:47] <mikewu> dotsign: try pidgin
[21:47] <fearful> dotsign, Pidgin also
[21:47] <cosmodad> cwillu: (in recovery mode)
[21:47] <sebsebseb> dotsign: Pidgin is good for MSN as well, if you don't mind not having  certain features such as web cam and winks  and customied emotions
[21:47] <cwillu> cosmodad, you probably can, I just hate to see people mucking with terminals when they clearly don't want to be :)
[21:47] <xaviur> cwillu: you get the link?
[21:47] <Quontrex_Ashimi> presshere_: I found the problem, for some reason udev was changing eth0 to eth1 add the auto eth1 to /etc/network/interfaces fixed it
[21:47] <cwillu> xaviur, https://launchpad.net/~mdeslaur/+archive/ppa might Just Work
[21:47] <guntbert> cosmodad: may I leave you with cwillu ? I'm a bit past bedtime already :)
[21:47] <dotsign> what is pidgin
[21:47] <fearful> sebsebseb, customized emotions do work.
[21:48] <cosmodad> guntbert: no prob, thanks a lot for helping.
[21:48] <sebsebseb> fearful: reciving them, but not sending
[21:48] <dotsign> im new user for ubuntu
[21:48] <anabolix> anyone... a good terminal based email client?
[21:48] <Milkeh> presshere_, oh, could is possibly be when I converted?
[21:48] <guntbert> cosmodad: good luck
[21:48] <cwillu> guntbert, ugh, I'm like 30 seconds away from my walk :(
[21:48] <presshere_> Quontrex_Ashimi: well done ;)
[21:48] <fearful> sebsebseb, sure they do, right click save them and it works fine I use them all the time.
[21:48] <^MadDog^> ubuntu < debian || 6.10 > 3.1
[21:48] <duelboot> dotsign, I like kopete
[21:48] <cosmodad> cwillu: I'll be fine with the terminal. Just wondering where Ubuntu is going to read the resize2fs binary from without a mounted FS.
[21:48] <mikewu> anabolix:  try mutt or pine
[21:48] <presshere_> Milkeh: maybe
[21:48] <shadeslayer> how do i install a .so file??
[21:48] <xaviur> cwillu: do i have to compile that?
[21:48] <Milkeh> presshere_, I'll try converting again
[21:48] <fearful> dotsign, Pidgin is a messenger which you can connect different client such as MSN, AIM, icq and many others.
[21:49] <Milkeh> could it possibly be some kind of scripts?
[21:49] <guntbert> cosmodad: thats why we suggested a live CD
[21:49] <duelboot> shadeslayer, .so is a softlink or symbolic link...depending on who you ask...you don't install it
[21:49] <Milkeh> presshere_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/122585/
[21:49] <presshere_> !iso | shadeslayer
[21:49] <shadeslayer> its a splash image im trying to install as a replacement
[21:49] <cosmodad> guntbert: I'd have a better feeling with that.
[21:49] <cwillu> cosmodad, although this is possible, there is potential for screwups that would lose data
[21:49] <shadeslayer> presshere_: lol,SO not ISO
[21:49] <cwillu> cosmodad, namely, you have to resize the partition table first, and then resize the actual contents into the resulting space
[21:49] <shadeslayer> duelboot: its a splash image,like ubuntu loading bar
[21:50] <Chaotic_Descent> I'm having trouble figuring out remote desktop viewing. I'm reading comments on pages about it, but they never explain whether the port forwarding is supposed to be on the client or server machine.
[21:50] <cwillu> cosmodad, doing things in the wrong order, or with numbers that don't match up on each phase, can leave you in a bad state
[21:50] <presshere_> shadeslayer: sry ;)
[21:50] <cwillu> cosmodad, you're running intrepid?
[21:50] <cosmodad> cwillu: the affected machine is still running Gutsy.
[21:50] <presshere_> Milkeh: it`s the same paste?
[21:50] <duelboot> shadeslayer, haven't messed with that, but presume you need to put the .so in a specific location that it's looking for the file (the .so will reference the "real"/hard file used)
[21:50] <cwillu> cosmodad, do you have an intrepid machine handy?

[21:54] <BattleStarJesus> Hello to you all.
[21:54] <foreiner> hello
[21:54] <cwillu> cosmodad, if I were desperate myself, one in theory do alot of this from an initrd image (basically, the filesystem that gets mounted before the actual drive gets mounted;  it operates from memory once read, so you can mess around with the drive;  the problem being that if you screw up, the initrd image probably won't be readable the next boot :p)
[21:54] <duelboot> shadeslayer, type "sudo update-alternatives –config usplash-artwork" and see what happens
[21:54] <cwillu> cosmodad, you can do it from the older versions, I just don't have the instructions handy
[21:55] <cosmodad> cwillu: do the USB thingie you mean?
[21:55] <cosmodad> cwillu: (from the older versions)
[21:55] <cwillu> cosmodad, yes
[21:55] <duelboot> shadeslayer, actually do this:   apt-get install - -reinstall usplash
[21:55] <cosmodad> cwillu: I'll try to look that up.
[21:55] <cosmodad> cwillu: let me ask you this: Why would I need to relarge the partition table, and how'd I do that? Is that operation automatically included with the resize2fs command, or is it external?
[21:55] <cwillu> cosmodad, I'd be really cautious about mucking around with the root partition without having some way of booting into it if things go bad
[21:56] <BattleStarJesus> Hello I have a gtk error it goes like this Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated
[21:56] <cwillu> cosmodad, resize2fs is an example of a typical unix approach:  it's a simple tool to do exactly one thing, and do it well
[21:56] <BattleStarJesus> How do I fix it?
[21:56] <shadeslayer> moment
[21:56] <cwillu> cosmodad, that way, it can be used on all sorts of usecases, without having any assumptions that it's working on an actual physical device
[21:57] <ukd1> hi guys, I'm using ubuntu hardy with the nvidia drivers (both the stock and lastest from nvidia.com) and I get strange "pink / purple" artifacts on the screen...any ideas?
[21:57] <cwillu> cosmodad, i.e., running a filesystem on a bare unpartitioned drive, or vm's, or so forth
[21:57] <hotbabvy1> http://www.freeos.com/articles/2677/  << i want this to compile

[21:58] <cosmodad> cwillu: one more reason to go for the Live CD I suppose.
[21:58] <cwillu> cosmodad, or the usb, but ya

[21:58] <ukd1> has anyone had any experience of strange pink artifacts on screen when using the nvidia drivers?
[21:59] <cwillu> cosmodad, if you're comfortable with hardware, you could just pop the drive out of the one machine and stick it into the other one, resize it with gparted (gnome-partition-editor), and then put it back
[21:59] <shadeslayer> :(
[21:59] <cwillu> cosmodad, hardy, gutsy, etc are compatible as far as that process would be concerned

My problem was that when i first installed Ubuntu it read Ubuntu-IT which i read as Information Technology. Blush. Is it possible to remove the Italian part as i am neither Italian nor do i read Italian?

[22:39] <Shaun> roadrock: there was a bug in the new udev (i use jaunty, prob should have mentioned that) causing it to repeatedly update lvm as if it had changed
[22:39] <erUSUL> tashammer: remove the italian language packs and install the ones for your caountry

[22:44] <gianluca> one question. I have ubuntu since december 2007. Recently my brother bought a laptop with Vista and it is quite fast
[22:44] <gianluca> According to you is Ubuntu faster than Vista?
[22:44] <beautifulsnow> Does it have 8 MB of RAM ?
[22:44] <roadrock> Shaun: wow, good job.
[22:44] <HeXiLeD> linux is
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> gianluca: that because windows has killer driver support
[22:44] <HeXiLeD> faster than windows
[22:44] <mxrush76> ubuntu is faster than vista!!!!
[22:44] <Javier88> gianluca, what spects do you have in both computers?
[22:44] <Mike__> Ubuntu on my laptop runs slower than Windows XP
[22:44] <sebsebseb> gianluca: Ubuntu works much better than Vista,  when it comes to the technical aspects of an OS
[22:44] <Mike__> but I still use Ubuntu
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> HeXiLeD: depends on config asnd version of windows
[22:44] <Shaun> roadrock: i didnt really have to do anything, the bug was fixed sometime today and an update cured it :)
[22:45] <dewmon689> looking for people who use ubuntu for school soloutions
[22:45] <Shaun> any linux is faster than vista...
[22:45] <sebsebseb> gianluca: also there are other distros that work better than Ubuntu
[22:45] <roadrock> Shaun: linux rules, way to go
[22:45] <HeXiLeD> i forget that this is ubuntu. it's all binaries ...
[22:45] <beautifulsnow> dewmon689, might want to try #edubuntu
[22:45] <gianluca> I installed in the past gentoo but didn't find it faster than other distros
[22:45] <Shaun> heh, ive been using linux fulltime for over 3 years, but theres always something new to learn...
[22:46] <HeXiLeD> compilie from source mike with specific settings
[22:46] <M1DLG> i've installed ubuntu on my main pc and it's much much faster than any other OS I've tried - straight out of the box, and now I only have 1gb spare on hdd it's still running fast and all my ususal apps are installed.
[22:46] <Shaun> to be honest i should have checked the running processes ages ago, but i didnt give it much thought, ah well
[22:46] <gianluca> But I agree that Vista is awful.
[22:46] <____Mike____> what's the target architecture of ubuntu anyway? pentium 3?
[22:46] <HeXiLeD> ActionParsnip depends only how linux is compiled :)
[22:46] <beautifulsnow> lol
[22:47] <gianluca> I guess that if my brother would install ubuntu, it would run as a rocket
[22:47] <superkiwi> When I use openbox on Ubuntu I don't understand how I alter the content of the right-click menu. How does Ubuntu create the content of the menu?
[22:47] <mxrush76> Vista is not that bad but for everyday job ubuntu make it faster and beauty
[22:47] <gianluca> I have intel core 2 duo T7700
[22:47] <gianluca> on hp Pavilion dv2690el
[22:47] <gianluca> I have to say that this laptop is shit
[22:47]  * burkmat surrenders for today... Vista may have won the battle, but Linux shall win the war!
[22:47] <gianluca> very short battery life
[22:48] <gianluca> heating too much
[22:48] <beautifulsnow> !language
[22:48] <HeXiLeD> gianluca install powertop and see what  you can change
[22:48] <gianluca> and I tried to optimize the power consumption with powertop
[22:48] <gianluca> Vista is awful because it destroys competition:
[22:49] <mikewu> superkiwi: see this site http://urukrama.wordpress.com/openbox-guide/#Menus
[22:49] <sebsebseb> gianluca: yep it sucks that Windows has most market share
[22:49] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot
[22:49] <sebsebseb> gianluca: and as a result certain aspects of computing can't progress properly
[22:49] <sebsebseb> Jack_Sparrow: indeed all of that is off topic
[22:50] <Jack_Sparrow> ty
[22:50] <gianluca> sebsebseb: yes but Microsoft will lose slowly the market
[22:50] <beautifulsnow> sebsebseb,  who cares? Good for microsoft. My laptop and my desktop are completely in heaven using linux *shrug*
[22:50] <srx2002> anyone here successfully get HD video to play with Ubuntu?
[22:50] <gianluca> because Mac and Ubuntu are gettin stornger

[22:50] <srx2002> specifically .m2ts files ( x264 )

[22:53] <Guest2067> hi
[22:54] <hexler> I want to mount my ntfs partition with the file rights rw-rw----. But if I use umask=117 I can't access folders on the device...  can you tell me please the correct options for fstab?
[22:55] <Jack_Sparrow> hexler I always mess that up.. so that would be permissions of 660?  Can you set permissions on the mount point?

[22:57] <slew> hi. i recently upgraded to intrepid and i need to know which package to install to get the nvidia to work again.
[22:57] <beautifulsnow> I dont think the  bots working ^^
[22:57] <Cool_Nick> ubottu..thats the same webpage I listed...Step number 3
[22:58] <woody86> what's the command to see what wireless adapter is installed?
[22:58] <finsprings> How can I get Intrepid to set environment variables for GUI apps when I sign in? I have tried .xinitrc, .xprofile etc to no avail
[22:58] <gogutech> my sistem go craizy , first one was the window border ( it was missing ) , y kan'not play any files ( audio video,sistem crash) and many more
[22:58] <gogutech> any ideea ?
[22:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Cool_Nick The operative part is.. /join #Kernel..  This is ubuntu support thanks
[22:58] <Plugh> Cool_Nick: IIRC, it is xserver-xorg-drivers-nvidia and there is also a kernel module
[22:58] <unop> woody86, iwconfig
[22:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Cool_Nick Please tell us what exactly you are trying to do
[22:59] <Plugh> Cool_Nick: nvidia-kernel-common is the other package
[22:59] <hexler> Jack_Sparrow: Yes 660 for files and 770 for folders so I thought. (in my book I can read that umask substract umask from 666 for files and from 777 for folders)... but permissions for folders and files are the same
[23:00] <woody86> unop, what about the comand that actually shows the type of adapter? Like the name of it?
[23:00] <hexler> Jack_Sparrow:  chmod the mountpoint doesn't effect the files / folder in it...
[23:01] <Jack_Sparrow> hexler try setting permissions on the mount.
[23:01] <unop> woody86, lspci, lshw -C network, lshal, etc
[23:01] <woody86> unop, tyvm!
[23:01] <Jack_Sparrow> hexler Permissions on a windows drive?
[23:01] <Jack_Sparrow> hexler Sorry, I am a bit out of it atm

[23:03] <thony> how do I connect to a server with ssl on IRSSI?
[23:03] <thony> plz help me
[23:03] <Plugh> which package provides something called nash-hotplug?
[23:03] <thony> how do I connect to a server with ssl on IRSSI?
[23:03] <w3wsrmn> thony: with the -ssl switch
[23:03] <thony> plz help me
[23:03] <thony> i will try
[23:03] <thony> thankz
[23:03] <thony> and another thing
[23:04] <thony> does IRSSI supports multples servers on?
[23:04] <baz> Ubuntu is primary desktop on all 5 of my pc's. As awesome as sudo is, it seems to be a little flawed, let me tell you why. One reason is that it led me to change my password to a simpler, less secure one that is easier to type because i have to type it so many times a day. Another consequence of having to type it many times a day is that it gives a lot of opportunity for your neighbours to see what you are typing - think of a cubical office
[23:04] <baz> . Am I off?
[23:04] <unop> Plugh, there is no package in the ubuntu repositories that provides that -- http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=intrepid&mode=exactfilename&searchon=contents&keywords=nash-hotplug
[23:04] <w3wsrmn> thony: up, all on window 1. use CTRL+X to switch between them
[23:04] <millertime_018> hey, i'm having trouble getting my bluetooth dongle to work in ubuntu
[23:04] <hexler> Jack_Sparrow: my problem is that all files on my mountet windows partition are marked as runable... but if I change the umask it effects folder and files in the same way (and folders cannot be accessed anymore)
[23:05] <thony> ok thankz
[23:05] <thony> bye.
[23:05] <finsprings> anyone know how the login profile stuff works?
[23:05] <thesaint4444> hi guys, is there any way I can find out my evolution mail account passwords. I need to migrate a machine and can't find or change the account data. thanks.
[23:06] <Plugh> unop, thanks. Its odd. The top program shows it as running on my machine but I am having trouble figuring out where it originates.
[23:06] <brandonp> hey guys, quick question. is there a way to resize the default window size for applications, because a lot of windows that I open are too big, meaning they go below the lower taskbar
[23:06] <slew> hi. i recently upgraded to intrepid and i need to know which package to install to get the nvidia to work again.
[23:06] <millertime_018> does anyone know how to get bluetooth working in ubuntu?
[23:06] <unop> Plugh,  try locating the file.   locate "*nash-hotplug"
[23:07] <Plugh> unop, Already tried locate and a find command.
[23:07] <Plugh> ah... just had another idea...
[23:07] <unop> Plugh, you can set a ps option to list the full path, iirc

[23:09] <brandonp> max res that my netbook alows

[23:10] <SlimeyPete> wc -l */*
[23:10] <brandonp> no, its 1024x600 actually
[23:10] <Jack_Sparrow> redrebel /join #Java for more info
[23:10] <unop> Plugh, hmm.   even that doesn't appear to be in any standard package.  maybe it's from something you installed manually..  what does this give you?   dpkg -S /bin/nash
[23:10] <SlimeyPete> or.. is it "cat */* | wc -l"
[23:10] <lbo_ken> hi all  i would like to know if there is any  opensource   for facturations   that work on linux
[23:10] <SlimeyPete> I forget
[23:11] <unop> redrebel,   find . -type f -iname "*.java" -exec wc -l {} +
[23:11] <Jufis> how do I restart x? I made .xmodmap file to remap my mouse buttons and I want it to load. Shouldn't I restart x then?
[23:11] <redrebel> SlimeyPete: thanx, that shold work
[23:11] <lbo_ken> other than open office
[23:11] <redrebel> unop: thanx
[23:11] <mikewu> Jufis: just run xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap

[23:12] <M1DLG> yes but I want tochange the owner tome
[23:12] <brandonp> brandonban6 they are generic

[23:13] <im> dvd cant read
[23:13] <Jack_Sparrow> brandonp you can try askin in #compiz since that is when the problem started
[23:13] <beautifulsnow> im,  sudo apt-get install libdvdccs2
[23:13] <Jack_Sparrow> !enter > im
[23:14] <brandonp> jack_sparrow Its not compiz , the effects are stock on intrepid under appearance tabs
[23:14] <crdlb> brandonp: which is compiz
[23:14] <thesaint4444> if anyone needs to see their own passwords just start seahorse! - very easy.
[23:14] <Jack_Sparrow> brandonp You just said it started after you enabled them
[23:14] <brandonp> ohhhh sorry, didn't know it was compiz
[23:14] <hmw> brandonp - you can move windows by holding ALT and clicking somwhere in the window
[23:15] <im> beautifulsnow, cant find package
[23:15] <brandonp> hmw , compiz disables window resizing i think
[23:15] <brandonp> at least on mine it did
[23:15] <Jack_Sparrow> im Please read the link from ubottu earlier
[23:15] <whatishal> hello, gdm ist not starting at ubuntu-studio 8.10
[23:15] <whatishal> X istsef is working
[23:15] <hmw> brandonp - do you still see the title and border (close buttons, etc)=
[23:16] <brandonp> hmw yea the top is perfect, the windows are oversized at the bottom they run below the bottom taskbar
[23:16] <rvn> how do i install the 32bit freetype libraries on 64bit ubuntu
[23:16] <Jack_Sparrow> whatishal since they use a diff kernel perhaps you can start by asking in              /join #ubuntu-studio
[23:17] <whatishal> the last process I see with ps aux  is /usr/lib/gdm/gdmgreeter , but nothing on the screen exept the mouse
[23:17] <Jack_Sparrow> !chroot
[23:17] <lbo_ken> hi all  i would like to know if there is any  opensource  programs for facturations    that work on linux  other than open office  spreadsheet
[23:17] <hmw> brandonban6 with only 600 pixels y-size this isnt very unexpected. some windows are too big for such a resolution. nautilus (the file browser) should be sizeable below that, though. can you resize nautilus?
[23:18] <Jack_Sparrow> lbo_ken There are other spreadsheet programs,  check them out
[23:18] <brandonp> yes hmw i can resize nautilus
[23:18] <radsy> lbo_ken, gnumeric is quite good
[23:18] <Jack_Sparrow> radsy agreed
[23:18] <brandonp> hmw for example i cant resize the window that comes out here on x=chat.. when i click on edit, preferences
[23:18] <hmw> brandonp - then i think, your only chance is the ALT+DRAG trick, to see the buttons on th bottom
[23:18] <rvn> how do i install the 32bit freetype libraries on 64bit ubuntu
[23:19] <whatishal> Im was getting an error whe starting in safe-mode that hal isnt working. without safe-mode I get only the mouse, no login
[23:19] <Jack_Sparrow> whatishal since they use a diff kernel perhaps you can start by asking in              /join #ubuntu-studio
[23:19] <brandonp> thanks hmw , i might just disable then
[23:20] <AndyTimAtWork> Good day to all.  Quite popular in here, I see.  What's a nice programmer's text editor to use in Ubuntu?  Something like Kate for KDE.
[23:20] <Jack_Sparrow> AndyTimAtWork Just use Kate
[23:20] <whatishal> thake Jack_Sparrow
[23:20] <Jack_Sparrow> whatishal np
[23:20] <srx2002> ianstill can't get this to work
[23:20] <lbo_ken> ok thanks but i was thinking like a   logiciel  like fortune 1000 for windows but free
[23:20] <AndyTimAtWork> Sorry, I should have asked, "from the installed/live CD"
[23:20] <srx2002> anyone here playing .m2s files on ubuntu
[23:20] <georgy_28> AndyTimAtWork, : you can use gedit
[23:20] <hmw> brandonp - i didnt follow your earlier conversation here. if disabling compiz would help, i would be very surprised. or did you want to disable something else?
[23:20] <srx2002> .m2ts
[23:20] <AndyTimAtWork> installer
[23:21] <AndyTimAtWork> Lemme try gedit...
[23:21] <brandonp> hmw yea well i guess its compiz, im talking about when you click on system preferences appearance effects, then you check the special effects
[23:21] <blip-> any recommendations for a tool that lets me take a video screen shot of my desktop for use in a tutorial ?  and then adding captions to it
[23:21] <Jack_Sparrow> !editors
[23:21] <blip-> !screengrab
[23:21] <blip-> !screenshot
[23:21] <badfish69> is there a program for ubuntu that will let me edit the audio and video aspects of a video file separately, removing and inserting different audio over the video and such?
[23:21] <brandonp> hmw if i click on standard effects, then the windows are fine, if i click on enhanced effects, then the windows are oversized
[23:21] <taz_> hello to all guys... anyone know how to virtualbox ???  help me please thanks
[23:22] <Jack_Sparrow> !info recordmydesktop
[23:22] <hmw> brandonp - well that sounds like compiz :) if it is really compiz, you could try to install compiz-settings-manager and tweak the thing, until it behaves. good luck!
[23:22] <blip-> thanks Jack_Sparrows
[23:22] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[23:22] <brandonp> thanks hmw

[23:25] <steve678> i found it in 8.10 ...cool.. thanks all
[23:25] <Haegin> is alsa or pulse the sound server I should be changing stuff in?
[23:25] <hmw> brandonp - its strange, because my compiz doesnt change window sizes. there should be a chance, to "repair" this. ask in #compiz, as it seems to be an uncommon issue. Only thing, I could think of, would be compiz changing screen resolution.
[23:25] <hotbabvy1> hello
[23:26] <yun-haow> hwois here?
[23:26] <hotbabvy1> mike wu
[23:26] <hotbabvy1> you there?
[23:26] <erUSUL> Haegin: pulse is a sound server alsa is not
[23:26] <linxeh> jack ftw
[23:26] <beautifulsnow> Anyone know why mouse woudlnt work? mouse is recognized, driver is loaded, what else?
[23:26] <hmw> Jack_Sparrow - ahoy! how about the grub factoid?
[23:26] <Burad> Hello, i have a problem. Right after install has finished with Ubuntu 8.10 and i reboot the system as instructed i can no longer access my CDrom in Ubuntu.
[23:26] <ploom> oh dear
[23:26] <Jack_Sparrow> hmw One sec
[23:26] <ploom> why alsa at all, when there is oss4
[23:26] <ploom> ?
[23:27] <linxeh> ploom: because we have JACK
[23:27] <hotbabvy1> hello
[23:27] <hotbabvy1> mikewu
[23:27] <Jack_Sparrow> hmw Run this  http://paste.ubuntu.com/122541/
[23:27] <Haegin> erUSUL: ok, so which changes where the noise comes from? I have USB headphones and a 5.1 speaker setup. I use speakers normally but at night want to switch to headphones to let my flatmates sleep.
[23:27] <hotbabvy1> ??
[23:27] <bachus> ave
[23:28] <hmw> Jack_Sparrow i just thought, you wanted to add a link to the factoid
[23:28] <Burad> The node usualy used /dev/scd0 no loger exists and sd_mod and crsom are no longer loaded. i tryed manualy loding them but with no help
[23:28] <Jack_Sparrow> hmw TO the script right..
[23:28] <steve678> i add one mp3 for audio, brasero is shows busy and then looks like it hangs.
[23:28] <Jack_Sparrow> hmw The script is all new
[23:28] <erUSUL> Haegin: dunno were the problem may be; sorry. launch the PA manager "paman" and tweak things there
[23:29] <hmw> Jack_Sparrow thanks, i will update my copy then.
[23:29] <DutchBarracuda> can anyone help me with a ubuntu+eeepc network problem?
[23:29] <ploom> linxeh, all that jack vs alsa vs oss really indicates that linux audio is forked. Hopefully this will settle in near future.
[23:29] <Jack_Sparrow> !eee
[23:29] <Haegin> steve678: give it a minute. It might be converting before it updates the space on the CD you havn't burnt yet.
[23:29] <Haegin> erUSUL: thanks
[23:30] <ianm_> recommendations for a music player that eats minimal CPU ?
[23:30] <Jack_Sparrow> erUSUL Do you have a sec to try this for me..?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/122541/
[23:30] <Haegin> ianm_: mpd
[23:30] <DutchBarracuda> ubottu: not installing ubuntu on eee pc. Ubuntu on my pc and xandros on eepc, trying to get network between them to work
[23:30] <beautifulsnow> ianm_, whats wrong with totem?
[23:30] <DutchBarracuda> damn
[23:30] <linxeh> ploom: maybe, but really it is JACK vs OSS I guess - ALSA is too restrictive (nobody wants to tie themselves to one platform after all)
[23:30] <Wunderbar> problems connecting with my wireless
[23:30] <linxeh> and OSS died years ago, its got a lot of ground to gain
[23:31] <dost> ianm_: vlc, mplayer
[23:31] <ianm_> beautifulsnow: it's for live visuals performance so the lighter the audio player better
[23:31] <ianm_> *the better
[23:31] <badfish69> where is my repository list?
[23:31] <badfish69> !repository
[23:31] <Jack_Sparrow> badfish69 /etc/apt/sources.lst
[23:31] <Lepjepr> /etc/apt/sources.list
[23:32] <erUSUL> Jack_Sparrow: checking...
[23:32] <DutchBarracuda> no takers for my network prob?
[23:32] <Jack_Sparrow> erUSUL ty
[23:32] <Haegin> ianm_: for playing a playlist try mpd. For playing the occasional CD and specific tracks xmms is pretty good (xmms not xmms2 which is more like mpd just with sucky clients)
[23:32] <Jack_Sparrow> DutchBarracuda Ask a better question
[23:32] <KujiUn> Excuse me, but what command do I use to restart a program from the terminal?
[23:32] <Haegin> erUSUL: you never mentioned this paman thing was GUI! gah!
[23:33] <maxb> KujiUn: the name of the program itself, in the general case.
[23:33] <Lepjepr> i dont know how to restart
[23:33] <blodski> how do i maximize a window-based program?
[23:33] <DutchBarracuda> Jack_Sparrow: k, connectin my EEEpc to my Ubuntu pc isn't working. Am plugged, set up connection, but they're not finding each other
[23:33] <Lepjepr> but you can try killall programname and then just to start the program agian
[23:33] <KujiUn> maxb: I mean to quit and restart.
[23:33] <Jack_Sparrow> DutchBarracuda Direct or through a router
[23:33] <Wunderbar> what do I need to do if my wired connection works but my wireless connection doesn't:?
[23:33] <Wunderbar> this is a recent development...
[23:33] <ukd1> mikewu: fyi I put in a spare nvidia card, recompiled the nvidia driver and all is fine now :)
[23:33] <maxb> KujiUn: Be more specific about what you're trying to do
[23:33] <DutchBarracuda> Jack_Sparrow: direct, nothing in between
[23:34] <Jack_Sparrow> DutchBarracuda Is it a crossover cable?
[23:34] <badfish69> Jack_Sparrow: that file is empty
[23:34] <beautifulsnow> Wunderbar, how does the wifi doesnt work? (do you see the networks? do you get any error messages? What happens?)
[23:34] <Jack_Sparrow> badfish69 /etc/apt/sources.list
[23:34] <erUSUL> Jack_Sparrow: fails because i do not have a Desktop directory ;P my ubuntu is in spanish so i have Escritorio
[23:34] <Jack_Sparrow> sorry

[23:34] <DutchBarracuda> Jack_Sparrow: just ya standard network cable (not modem or anything else)
[23:34] <badfish69> ah ty
[23:35] <Abueleitor> hi all
[23:35] <Jack_Sparrow> DutchBarracuda to go direct you need a special cable
[23:35] <hotbabvy1> http://www.freeos.com/articles/2677/
[23:35] <hotbabvy1> can't get it compile
[23:35] <hotbabvy1> help :(
[23:35] <maxb> KujiUn: Can you not simply close the window?
[23:35] <FloodBot3> hotbabvy1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:35] <Wunderbar> I can see the networks and it allows me to enter the key but it won't connect...
[23:35] <Jack_Sparrow> !helpme
[23:35] <erUSUL> Jack_Sparrow: you want the output for my system?
[23:36] <Jack_Sparrow> erUSUL Not needed
[23:36] <KujiUn> maxb: No, I installed nautilus-open-terminal.
[23:36] <DutchBarracuda> Jack_Sparrow: ok will route round for another cable, might be just dodgy thank you
[23:36] <erUSUL> Jack_Sparrow: seems to work as spected...
[23:36] <Jack_Sparrow> erUSUL Was just trying to make a better tool
[23:36] <blodski> how do i maximize a window-based program?
[23:36] <beautifulsnow> Wunderbar,  using Network Manager? Does it just keep trying to connect? Or does it stop? If so, does it say why it wont connect?
[23:36] <Abueleitor> i have ubuntu ibex, someone can help me? i have a problem with a webcam
[23:36] <hotbabvy1> it says can't find header file
[23:36] <hotbabvy1> http://www.freeos.com/articles/2677/
[23:36] <maxb> KujiUn: otherwise, the command "kill" kills specific process ids, "pkill" allows killing by name.
[23:36] <KujiUn> beautifulsnow: Thank you. Problem solved.
[23:36] <Wunderbar> no reason given for not connecting
[23:36] <hotbabvy1> i couldn't even compile because kernel headers r missing
[23:36] <Jack_Sparrow> !compile > hotbabvy1
[23:36] <beautifulsnow> ^^
[23:37] <hotbabvy1> ?
[23:37] <Jack_Sparrow> !info build_essentials
[23:37] <beautifulsnow> Wunderbar, so does it keep trying to connect, until you tell it to stop?
[23:37] <Jack_Sparrow> !info build_essential
[23:37] <Wunderbar> hold on, let me test it again
[23:37] <hotbabvy1> build-essential <<

[23:38] <Wunderbar> ok, it asks for authorisation- even though the key has already been entered correctly...
[23:41] <erUSUL> Jack_Sparrow: also fails if pastebinit is not installed in do_pastebin there is no sudo for the apt-get command
[23:41] <vgambitFO> I already have Hardy Heron on my laptop. Can I just upgrade to the new Ubuntu release, or will I have to reinstall?
[23:42] <Jack_Sparrow> vgambitFO Make a backup and upgrade
[23:42] <erUSUL> !upgrade | vgambitFO
[23:42] <vgambitFO> thanks
[23:42] <vgambitFO> making a backup really isn't an option at the moment

[23:45] <erUSUL> Jack_Sparrow: another glitch... in do_pastebin again you hardcoded outfile instead of using $OUTFILE in the sed call
[23:45] <millertime_018> georgy_28: do you know how to install blueman
[23:45] <pHreaksYcle> does anyone here use Google's Blogger?
[23:45] <millertime_018> does anyone know how to install blueman?
[23:45] <Jack_Sparrow> ty..  truley appreciated
[23:46] <pHreaksYcle> millertime: you have to add their repo to your sources
[23:46] <pHreaksYcle> millertime: then its as simple as sudo apt-get install blueman
[23:46] <pHreaksYcle> etc
[23:46] <RachedTN> hello

[23:46] <RachedTN> ﻿now : i have created a demo database with phpmyadmin
[23:47] <RachedTN> Is there anyone who work with nebeans on Ubuntu ?
[23:47] <LogicFan> is there a default keyboard shortcut for cycling/opening/closing/ through applications in the tray of gnome panel?
[23:47] <georgy_28> millertime_018, : https://edge.launchpad.net/~blueman/+archive/ppa
[23:48] <erUSUL> Jack_Sparrow: more input to your script... export LC_ALL=C so the messages of the various utils do not are in native language... some of mine are in spanish
[23:48] <millertime_018> thanx
[23:48] <pHreaksYcle> LogicFan: if im reading you correctly this is waht you want. . .
[23:48] <pHreaksYcle> to open the menu Alt+F1 then use the arrows
[23:48] <erUSUL> Jack_Sparrow: hope that helps
[23:48] <beautifulsnow> LogicFan,  you mean like alt-tab?
[23:48] <LogicFan> pHreaksYcle, i'm familiar with that one, but i mean items specifically in the tray
[23:49] <LogicFan> e.g. volume, battery/power, wifi/network status
[23:49] <pHreaksYcle> LogicFan: you mean the notification area :P confuzzled me
[23:49] <hotbabvy1> help with compiling code below

[23:49] <beautifulsnow> oh sorry^^
[23:49] <FloodBot3> hotbabvy1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:49] <beautifulsnow> yeah confused ^^
[23:49] <LogicFan> pHreaksYcle, ahh, sorry about that :)
[23:49] <pHreaksYcle> LogicFan: yeah, im not sure, i think it's limited to mouse clicks
[23:49] <M1DLG> whats happening here when I boot up? http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/mmTR9Ga5IAjekyOdBUxCKQ?feat=directlink
[23:49] <pHreaksYcle> LogicFan: i haven't been impressed with the notification area for a while now, especially the volume app
[23:49] <LogicFan> there are so many apps that minimize or can remain active in the notification area, it would be nice to access them with keyboard shortcuts
[23:50] <millertime_018> georgy_28: do you have blueman installed?
[23:50] <LogicFan> also, some apps i use i dont need active, i just need to check them once in a while while they're running in the notification area
[23:50] <LogicFan> e.g. transmission bittorrent client or pidgin
[23:50] <georgy_28> millertime_018, ; no
[23:51] <LogicFan> beautifulsnow, an alt-tab for the notification area would be great
[23:51] <pHreaksYcle> LogicFan: yup, dunno what to tell you. keep them in your open windows list to alt-tab from.
[23:51] <[ifrog]> !find freesans
[23:51] <beautifulsnow> LogicFan, yeah it would! We could use all those programs that just sit there, and not let them take taskbar space :D
[23:51] <[ifrog]> !find freesans.tff
[23:51] <pHreaksYcle> fail
[23:51] <LogicFan> beautifulsnow, exactly!
[23:52] <LogicFan> pHreaksYcle, yeah, that's what i'm doing as a temp solution
[23:52] <Jack_Sparrow> !find msttcore

[23:52] <LogicFan> but it doesn't work for apps that run from within the notification area, like volume control, time/weather, battery status, wifi indicator
