[00:00] <mrwes> rapha, did you use IPP ?
[00:00] <grandrew> rww: hm. will do both
[00:00] <Akuma> hmw: it pings 127.0.0.1
[00:00] <Xamusk> Bsims, 45 C on both processors
[00:00] <Akuma> I also just installed linux-backports-modules-generic, and my wireless works as well
[00:00] <Xamusk> hmw, I've looked at the logs and seen no pattern
[00:00] <hmw> Akuma - type "ifconfig" to find the IP address of your network card. Can you ping it?
[00:00] <Akuma> however I still can't do anything with eth0
[00:00] <trksh22> rww: I want to say THANK YOU!!!!!!! It worked! I forgot my username so I had to restart my whole computer. I wonder if Open Office had anything to do with it?
[00:00] <Akuma> I can ping my own IP
[00:01] <Akuma> being 192.168.99.103
[00:01] <evride> like i was saying, earlier today I someone got onto the actual root account in ubuntu after installing the very latest Nvidia driver (i quit out of X Windows server), it said my username was root and i could do whatever i wanted without typing in my password, since then i've been haviing to change ownership of files and many other settings to make my user account control files, settings and folders
[00:01] <mrwes> rapha, did you allow sharing of the printer on the other computer?
[00:01] <mrwes> damn
[00:01] <Bsims> Xamusk: Hrm not over heating then
[00:01] <Xamusk> and it would be pretty hard to keep a terminal running always because that thing is pretty random
[00:01] <Brucey> can anyone help me please? i want to see a file that was recently put in there, however i see 3 copies of it in 3 directories, with the same name, i want to see the latest one, anyway i can see the date of the file was made?
[00:01] <hmw> Xamusk - I meant, let them run, so that you always can see, what is written to the logs. With time you might find a pattern, by remembering, what was called/done just right before the next crash.
[00:01] <maxbaldwin> ...?
[00:01] <Nytrix> !paste
[00:01] <maxbaldwin> what's -e flag do?
[00:01] <mrwes> rapha, did you allow sharing of the printer on the other computer?
[00:01] <Akuma> my wifi adapter can now ping the router as well
[00:02] <hmw> channel itself is spamming??
[00:02] <rww> trksh22: awesome, glad I could help :). I'm not exactly sure on the cause, but it looks like it might be a weird edge case with certain keyboards and some upgrades... hopefully it won't happen again :)
[00:02] <Akuma> lol
[00:02] <BSG> I'm having a problem with my eee pc 900, the webcam, and flash in eeebuntu.  You can read more specifically about my problem here.  Thanks,  http://forum.eeebuntu.org/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1794
[00:02] <Pricey> maxbaldwin: Please see http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml
[00:02] <Pricey> Nytrix: Was that to me?
[00:02] <hmw> Xamusk - that's the way I would approach random lockups, if I can't exchange hardware (which would be the first, I'd try)
[00:02] <rww> Pricey: did the Floodbots stop clearing ban exemptions or something?
[00:02] <Nytrix> :-)
[00:03] <Brucey> can anyone help me please? i want to see a file that was recently put in there, however i see 3 copies of it in 3 directories, with the same name, i want to see the latest one, anyway i can see the date of the file was made?
[00:03] <node357> how do I get my resolution beyond 640x480? the resoltion control doesnt allow a higher resolutiuon
[00:03] <trksh22> rww: Yes, lets hope not! Anywho, thanks again!
[00:03] <hmw> Brucee - ls -l FILENAME
[00:03] <Brucey> thanks
[00:04] <Pricey> rww: ish
[00:04] <Zaz> Is there any way I can add a script that will run any time the computer boots, under a specific user?
[00:04] <Xamusk> hmw, then I guess I should start using Vista for some time?
[00:04] <rww> !startup | Zaz
[00:04] <Brucey> hmw : -bash: -: command not found
[00:04] <Nytrix> !script
[00:04] <Xamusk> that sucks
[00:04] <hmw> Xamusk - yeah, would get you a step further.

[00:05] <hmw> Brucee without the trailing - sorry.
[00:05] <rww> Brucey: Just "ls -l FILENAME"
[00:05] <Zaz> nono, its a terminal server without a screen, I only ssh to it
[00:05] <Nytrix> !scripts

[00:05] <UncleD> I am using apache and vsftpd un ubuntu. I created a user with ftp access and when the user uploads files to their directory, they are permission denied via www until they are manually chmod 4755'd. Is there a way to automate this?

[00:06] <UncleD> usser: umask?
[00:06] <rapha> mrwes: Oh I found the problem, I had tried to rename the printer on the client ... if you don't do that then it works
[00:06] <rww> Dextl: do you have 3D accelerated drivers for your graphics card? do you have compiz disabled (you should)?
[00:06] <BSG> A ghost, azlon

[00:07] <flame> hey guys
[00:07] <Dextl> I do have the 3d accelerated drivers, but I dont know what that second thing is
[00:07] <flame> :D
[00:07] <Akuma> hmw: yea, pings fine, 127.0.0.1, 192.168.99.103 but doesn't go outside
[00:07] <flame> I love ubuntu !
[00:07] <hmw> azlon - either you mount the file system form a live cd and use tar, or you google for the "Linux Recue" boot cd.
[00:07] <weatherkid> Can someone help me with a Atheros Card?
[00:07] <azlon> BSG: ghost? isnt there a cmd i can run from terminal to make a bit for bit backup in a gzip or iso file?

[00:07] <usser> UncleD, edit the /etc/profile a umask at the bottom umask 002 corresponds to 775 permissions. umask sets all files that are created to have certain permissions, 775 if umask is 002
[00:07] <UncleD> usser: in technical terms, what is the name for my problem?
[00:07] <usser> UncleD, permission problem :)

[00:08] <SJr|Work> I need to make the kubuntu 8.10 alternate installer cd bootable off of USB in Windows, how can I do that.
[00:08] <node357> HELP PLEASE
[00:08] <evride> thats what i meant
[00:08] <hmw> akuma - can you ping the gateway? (Router)
[00:08] <Guest57061> Nytrix, why? i'm asking a linux question
[00:09] <Akuma> nope
[00:09] <Akuma> not with this kernel
[00:09] <Akuma> when I boot the other one, it works fine
[00:09] <Nytrix> :-)
[00:09] <rww> SJr|Work: Download unetbootin (http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/) and either use its built in list of ISOs or download the alternative ISO and specify it in the program
[00:09] <hmw> Akuma - aah you changed the kernel!? Did it come with the updates or did you create a new kernel?
[00:10] <Akuma> it came with the updates
[00:10] <UncleD> usser: umask worked, now i jsut need a list cuz 0002 made it drwxrwxr-x
[00:10] <Nytrix> evride, reinstall ubuntu
[00:10] <Akuma> when I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10
[00:10] <evride> seriously?
[00:10] <flame> guys I want to remove package config files and clean up from ubuntu server
[00:10] <flame> any help how to do that ?
[00:10] <flame> for example
[00:10] <evride> no ideas at all?
[00:10] <Nytrix> i dont know
[00:10] <Daft_Punk>  flame, use one line for your question so its easy to read
[00:10] <evride> besides that
[00:10] <evride> k
[00:10] <Akuma> that said, it works normally when I am on 8.10 with 2.6.24
[00:10] <usser> UncleD, umask is reverse of the permissions so if you need 755 umask has to be 022
[00:10] <flame> sorry Daft_Punk
[00:10] <Nytrix> evride, someone else might be able to help u
[00:11] <flame> you know a solution ?
[00:11] <rww> evride: How did you "start X Windows again"?
[00:11] <Akuma> but I get this problem with eth0 on 2.6.27-11
[00:11] <rww> evride: i.e., which command did you use?
[00:11] <flame> I can do that from GUI but I use CLI now and I don't know how
[00:11] <flame> any ideas ?
[00:12] <Daft_Punk>  no sorry flame i dont know a solution for your particular issue, just keep asking your question every couple minutes, all on one line and hopefully someone that knows the answer will respond
[00:12] <hmw> Akuma - I see. For your pitty, I never upgraded successfully. I would guess, that the Network Manager has some headache now. Please ask someone else or try google with keywords like "upgrade ubuntu network problem" or similar.
[00:12] <flame> thx Daft_Punk
[00:12] <Akuma> ok
[00:12] <evride> rww: it was  - sudo startx
[00:12] <Akuma> Thanks for the help
[00:12] <zash> sudo startx?
[00:12] <zash> why sudo
[00:12] <evride> ya
[00:12] <evride> cause i was in the sudo mood
[00:12] <UncleD> usser: thanks all is perfect now :)
[00:12] <rww> evride: there's your problem. You shouldn't have used sudo
[00:12] <evride> didnt think it would cause a big problem like that
[00:12] <zash> sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start
[00:12] <david_> Hello xD
[00:13] <Dextl> Can anyone help me figure out how to get Warcraft3 to run correctly?
[00:13] <evride> well just one like of code can cause all those problems?
[00:13] <Daft_Punk>  evride you should never run ubuntu as root...
[00:13] <rww> evride: sudo runs commands as root. running sudo startx... runs startx... as root
[00:13] <Nytrix> Dextl, what wrong with it?
[00:13] <evride> i mean one line*
[00:13] <evride> i didnt mean to daft punk
[00:13] <usser> UncleD, no problem, if you want the files in the dir to be owned by a certain group google for gsuid
[00:13] <Dextl> it just stops working when I alttab or switch workspaces
[00:13] <evride> rww:but why would it change all my rights and permissions and stuff
[00:13] <Daft_Punk>  evride ubuntu is open source, meaning you can break it easily, especially if you run as root and delete some system files accidentally, that is why you should never run as root
[00:14] <evride> didnt mean to daft, lol
[00:14] <hmw> rww evride - it is strongly advised, not to run x as root. You can run certain programs with gksudo (think of nautilus).
[00:14] <evride> sorry
[00:14] <rww> evride: Because sudo startx makes Xorg and GNOME run as a root user, but doesn't change your environment variables, so they still use your home directlry and stomp all over it.
[00:15] <slerder> Hi everyone. Im having a bit of a problem. Ever since today when I have my vlc window maximized i cannot see the top menu bar (organe) with the quit, maximize and minimize buttons. What could be causing this? Thanks.
[00:15] <evride> so i should chown my home directory?
[00:15] <rww> evride: try sudo chown -R evride:evride /home/evride (replacing evride with your username).
[00:15] <evride> and make all sub folders mine?
[00:15] <rww> evride: yes
[00:15] <evride> k
[00:15] <Daft_Punk>  evride, since you ran your account as root (not the root account) it re-wrote permissions for all your files and messed them all up. the best thing to do at this point is backup any important data you have and reinstall ubuntu from the livecd
[00:15] <rww> evride: get out of that root xorg session first, if you haven't already
[00:15] <caveman26> How do I find out what video driver im using, and how do I configure it in 8.10? xorg.conf is practically blank...
[00:15] <Daft_Punk> evride, unless you want to preserve your system you have to do some chmods
[00:16] <slerder> Hi everyone. Im having a bit of a problem. Ever since today when I have my vlc window maximized i cannot see the top menu bar (organe) with the quit, maximize and minimize buttons. What could be causing this? Thanks.
[00:16] <evride> im already out rww
[00:16] <rww> Daft_Punk: chowns, actually, and we already gave him the command
[00:16] <Daft_Punk> rww, yeah sorry
[00:16] <rww> evride: okay, then just run that sudo chown -R thing and it should fix things
[00:16] <evride> aw thanks dudez, it works
[00:17] <rww> caveman26: there's an Xorg log in /var/log/. It'll say somewhere in there. xorg.conf is practically blank because xorg autodetects most of its settings now.
[00:17] <caveman26> ok
[00:17] <hmw> slerder: only VLC does that? Maybe it still has all the window gadget, but they are simply out ouf the screen? Hold ALT and try dragging the window, by clicking at some unused space right in the middle.
[00:17] <caveman26> how do I manually change them?
[00:17] <DEA7H> if i ask a question about 8.04 am i likely to get a response as i know 8.10 is out now?
[00:17] <rww> evride: You're welcome. In the future, "startx" or "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" would be better than "sudo startx" ;)
[00:17] <rww> DEA7H: 8.04 is still supported, yes
[00:17] <evride> ya, i'll keep that in mind
[00:18] <rww> caveman26: change the driver? Add the required command to xorg.conf. Settings that are put in there override the autodetection.
[00:18] <caveman26> ok.. so I can still use the xorg.conf.... thats good
[00:18] <hmw> evride: if you like being root, you might want to look the the -i switch of sudo.
[00:18] <caveman26> TY
[00:18] <rww> caveman26: you'd put a ``Driver "drivername"`` line in the Device section, specifically
[00:18] <Akuma> I have another problem: sessions are not remembering my running applications between logins in gnome
[00:18] <Akuma> any one know how to solve this?
[00:19] <sethyy> bonjour tout le monde
[00:19] <evride> hmw:will that keep me in root all the time?
[00:19] <blip-> toot
[00:19] <dibblego> how can I view the network traffic of each process?
[00:19] <flame> but why
[00:19] <rww> Akuma: System > Preferences > Sessions > Options > check "Automatically remember running applications when logging out"
[00:19] <rww> !fr | sethyy
[00:19] <[_flame]> nice
[00:19] <hmw> evride - its like "su", but works also, if the root account is "disabled" as it is in ubuntu.
[00:19] <Akuma> yea, it's checked
[00:19] <slerder> hmw: yeah, only vlc does that... HOlding alt and draggin the window does not work.. I cant move it, its maximized.. I still have the Menu with Media, Audio, Video, etc, but that bar that has those options (audio media, video,) is replacing my task bar (applicaction, places, system)... What could it be?
[00:19] <evride> k
[00:19] <slerder> hmw thanks
[00:20] <litb> hello all
[00:20] <Akuma> rww: but it doesn't remember my applications between logins
[00:20] <litb> does ubuntu use dash and not bash by default?
[00:20] <hmw> slerder: if only one program does it like that, I dont know.
[00:20] <Nytrix> Dextl, msg me
[00:20] <hmw> slerder - you could look in your home directory for stuff like .vlc and delete it.
[00:20] <azlon> hrmm
[00:20] <usser> litb, dash for system shell, bash for user shell
[00:21] <rww> Akuma: hmm, that's odd
[00:21] <azlon> is there a way to copy the whole directory to a file?
[00:21] <usser> azlon, mkisofs
[00:21] <hmw> slerder - in hope on removing some faulty presets
[00:21] <azlon> YEAH!!
[00:21] <Akuma> rww: I agree, also happened after I upgraded to 8.10
[00:21] <azlon> thanks
[00:21] <hmw> azlon: tar
[00:21] <azlon> !mkisofs
[00:21] <rww> litb: /bin/sh is a symlink to dash. Users' shells are set to bash by default.
[00:22] <bonez451> without digging into the man pages.. what simple commands could I run.. on either machine.. both of which are networked.. I can ssh to one machine from the other.. to move all the files, data. and applications from one to the other.. I don't care if it takes all night to run, don't need to compress....
[00:22] <bonez451> suggestions?
[00:22] <vertigo> does anyone know the solution to the mysterious "beige screen of death" problem
[00:22] <usser> bonez451, dd
[00:22] <slerder> hmw, nope didnt work..
[00:22] <LjL> bonez451: err, while both machines (or at the very least, the target machine) are booted from a live cd, right?
[00:22] <usser> bonez451, but you'll have to use livecd for dd since it copies entire partition/harddrive
[00:23] <ziggles> damn dd over the network... that is Awesome
[00:23] <hmw> slerder - did you log out and in again already?
[00:23] <rww> bonez451: You'd use scp. Something like scp /path/to/copy/from username@destination_server:/path/to/copy/to
[00:23] <DEA7H> excellent. finnaly managed to coax my Nvidia Quadro 64mb card to support a dualscreen setup. However, even though ive configured the monitors to use 1024x768, im only getting 800x600 on both screens and gnome is scrolling the desktop. xorg conf here: http://dorset.pastebin.com/m65dbea58
[00:23] <bonez451> LjL   are you saying i should boot both fromlivecd?
[00:23] <slerder> hmw, nope, simply reopened vlc..
[00:23] <hmw> slerder: then relog, maybe youre lucky.
[00:23] <LjL> bonez451: you're basically asking about replacing the entire disk on the target machine with the source disk - so, yes, you should
[00:24] <bonez451> ok..
[00:24] <kabukan> Anyone know how to get ubuntu 8.10 see my SATA HD
[00:24] <Sylphid> can anyone tell me how to force an app to release my mouse and keyboard... specifically nexuiz
[00:24] <bonez451> LjL   so, boot up both and then what would I run?
[00:24] <LjL> bonez451: otherwise your system would stop working during the copy
[00:24] <ziggles> anyone know where i can find a cheap computer?
[00:24] <azlon> i have an external HDD plugged in, is the path to it /media/NameOfDrive?
[00:24] <azlon> or is it /home/media/NameOfDrive?
[00:24] <nellmathew> hey guys.. i was wondering, for a few different reasons i would REALLY like to use the "LiveCD" but what i noticed i have issues with is that my laptop's cdrom won't read the cds properly, so it freezes half way through while loading. i know this is the issue cause i had problems installing with alternate installer too, until i loaded the install up and right before "checking for cd-rom's" ect.. in alt
[00:24] <hmw> azlon - should be /media
[00:24] <LjL> bonez451: dd, as they mentioned, is an option. they didn't mention *how* you'd use it over a network - you can do that by piping it to "netcat"
[00:24] <slerder> hmw, i found (googled, damn gotta love google) i used the command "metacity –replace". article here.. nice little read/tip metacity –replace
[00:24] <Sylphid> ziggles, define cheap
[00:24] <rww> azlon: probably the first. It could also be /media/disk/ or something similar.
[00:24] <usser> ziggles, sidewalk :)
[00:24] <Huufarted> azlon, normally yes but it should be located in /media
[00:24] <nellmathew> install, i put it in an external cd.. how would i do the same with livecd?
[00:24] <LjL> bonez451: scp is certainly another option, though
[00:25] <slerder> hmw thanks anyway ;) that might just help you out in the future ;)
[00:25] <ziggles> Sylphid, less than $500 and AWESOME :)
[00:25] <bonez451> I am comfy with scp.. have used it often..
[00:25] <bonez451> ok..
[00:25] <ziggles> usser, lol... mine feels like it belongs on a sidewalk
[00:25] <Scunizi> kabukan: are you trying to install and once you get past the first screen on the live cd then .. nothing?
[00:25] <hmw> slerder - same as relogging. should remember that - how was the command to type? you can also install fusion-icon - lets you do it with the mouse, and you can switch off compiz temporarily without messing up its settings.
[00:25] <ziggles> been looking @ slickdeals and the dell outlet, but was hoping someone awesome might know a better source for being cheap.
[00:26] <Sylphid> ziggles, check out the custom builds that cnet does every so often
[00:26] <hmw> slerder - not the same as relogging, but the same effect, i wanted you to cause
[00:26] <LjL> bonez451: personally, since i'm not familiar with scp myself, i'd use tar piped to netcat, but that's a bit... crude, and i'm sure scp is a better option
[00:26] <ziggles> Sylphid, what should i google to find it?
[00:26] <Sylphid> ziggles, sorry... not cnet but toms hardware
[00:26] <hmw> slerder - problem solved?
[00:26] <Scunizi> ziggles: check out the "business" section on dell.. they don't package all the bloatware with those machines and they are less $$'s
[00:26] <usser> ziggles, my first computer was from sidewalk, but on a more serious note, buy parts from newegg.com and assemble it yourself you'll easily fit in 300$ with a pretty beefy machine
[00:26] <Sylphid> ziggles, looking
[00:26] <vertigo> anyone familiar with the "beige screen" hangs after login screen problem
[00:27] <Scunizi> kabukan: ping
[00:27] <kabukan> Scunizi i can do everything till partitioning wont see drive
[00:27] <nellmathew> ugh.. lol. is there anyway for me to use an external cdrom for LiveCD? (my bios doesn't support usb & i got my alternate install working by switching the ubuntu cd into the external cdrom right before "checking for cdroms".. my issue is that my laptops cdrom doesn't properly read the cds so i need to use the external..)
[00:27] <usser> Scunizi, really, we're paying 1200$ for dell 755's with a 19" monitors
[00:27] <Scunizi> kabukan: is it a 8200 chipset board?
[00:27] <hmw> vertigo - thats probably not one single "beige screen" problem. Several problems could cause that. You could try switching to the console (CTRL-ALT-F2) and examine the log files or simply kill the X server with CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE - in some cases restarting X helps.
[00:28] <vertigo> it works when i boot from recovery mode and type "startx" but when it loads from regual kernel it hangs after login screen
[00:28] <Scunizi> usser: ??
[00:28] <bonez451> LjL just one problem.. the older machine, fromk which I hope to copy all the files.. had no CDROM in it.. can I still do this if i run at level 1, or whichever level would allow me to be unmounted and yet keep the networking intact?
[00:29] <kabukan> Scunizi: GA-M61P-S3 (rev. 1.0)	 addthis_url=location.href;addthis_title=document.title;addthis_pub='angrakiller';Help      NVIDIA® GeForce 6100 / nForce 430
[00:29] <usser> Scunizi, dell business section pcs, im just saying we pay 1200$ for optiplex 755 and we buy in pretty large bulks
[00:29] <rww> bonez451: can it boot from USB? you could make a liveusb disk.
[00:29] <vertigo> hmw: i have my nvidia installed correctly because i can get gnome to load just fine using the recovery boot option and then going to root and typing start x
[00:29] <LjL> bonez451: should be doable. actually, the networking might not be *very* intact if it's handled by network-manager... but it should be if you just have it configured in /etc/network/interfaces
[00:29] <bonez451> I guess I could do that.. with a thumb drive.. ok
[00:30] <Scunizi> usser: ah.. I got a lappy there.. vostro 1401 upgraded mem, wireless & vid card 470 a year ago.. haven't checked in the last few months.. :)
[00:30] <Sylphid> ziggles, http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/overclock-e5200-radeon,2144.html .... they do one every few months
[00:30] <hmw> vertigo - Maybe X is using VESA drivers, when you start from recovery. Check out /var/log/Xorg.0.log, when your screen hangs (ctrl-alt-f2)
[00:31] <elad`> How do I install and run my own SMTP server?
[00:31] <yun-haow> please join #hacker-ubuntu
[00:31] <vertigo> thanks will do
[00:31] <ziggles> Sylphid, thanks! checking now
[00:31] <LjL> bonez451: if you know the syntax of /etc/network/interfaces, you should have no problems. if you don't, but have DHCP on the router, then just two lines saying "auto eth0" and "iface eth0 inet dhcp" will be fine
[00:31] <LjL> yun-haow: please don't advertize channels in here. thank you.
[00:32] <bonez451> ok...
[00:32] <rww> !smtp | elad`
[00:32] <usser> elad`, ubuntu should have a built in smtp server, sendmail, there are alternatives, exim, postfix. they are not that trivial to configure though
[00:32] <yun-haow> iam sorry,,,
[00:32] <Scunizi> kabukan: might be a couple of things.. bad drive (just experienced that myself), a drive that the archetecture can't be seen because of a bug in the kernel (I think that's where it is) or the chipset. If it's the chipset at the first screen on the live cd hit F6 and at the end of the kernel line after erasing quiet & splash put pci=nomsi.. that's what fixed my problem.
[00:32] <hmw> vertigo - the log file is large. Dont let it confuse you, be patient.
[00:32] <ziggles> right now i use a 32bit proc ... u guys think if i switch to a 64bit proc ill run into probs iwth ubuntu?
[00:32] <ziggles> i can afford to wait till things get better
[00:32] <bonez451> LjL  can I find a USB image on www.ubuntu.com? it is fairly easy to set up on a usb device? would a usb zip drive work?
[00:32] <LjL> ziggles: no reason why you should
[00:33] <kabukan> Scunizi will try doing it now
[00:33] <LjL> bonez451: it's not *incredibly* easy
[00:33] <rww> !liveusb
[00:33] <bonez451> LjL but with time and persistence. it's doable.
[00:33] <rww> !usb
[00:33] <LjL> bonez451: but are you sure you shouldn't just be doing it the way you said - from a single-user (recovery) mode system?
[00:33] <ziggles> LjL, i'm sorry, what?
[00:33] <rww> I get that mixed up all the time >>
[00:33] <Pici> !usb
[00:33] <elad`> In Eclipse's settings, I've chosen the compiler compliance level to be 6.0 by default, but when creating projects, java-1.5.0-gcj is my only option. Help?
[00:33] <LjL> ziggles: i meant, i can't see why you'd run into problems
[00:33] <chupy> does anyone know a voice changer for linux?
[00:33] <ziggles> ah got ya.  thx :)
[00:34] <LjL> ziggles: you can just keep using the 32bit version of ubuntu even on a 64bit processor
[00:34] <ziggles> but 64bit costs more :)
[00:34] <kabukan> Scunizi: if this works i wont have to do it again right it will see my sata drive always
[00:34] <rww> ziggles: most relatively-new processors are 64-bit. The entire Intel Core 2 line, for example.
[00:34] <nellmathew> is there anyway for me to boot the livecd off of a usb-externel cdrom without usb bios support? (maybe from within the alt installer or something?.. my internal cdrom corrupts data sometimes..)
[00:35] <rww> ziggles: it's not the 64-bit that makes them cost more, it's the newerness
[00:35] <hmw> chupy - what does voice changer program do?
[00:35] <wolter> how can i create a tar from all the files in a folder?
[00:35] <LjL> chupy: not voice changers per se, but "apt-cache search real time audio effect" will give you a couple of programs that can do stuff to realtime audio
[00:36] <Pici> wolter: The tar manpage has some good examples.
[00:36] <biouser> is there a recursive chown?
[00:36] <LjL> wolter: tar -cf archive.tar folder/
[00:36] <LjL> biouser: the -R option.
[00:36] <rww> biouser: chown -R
[00:36] <chupy> hmw LjL thanks audacity works?
[00:36] <wolter> LjL, yeah, but that will put all folder's files inside folder. I want just to have all folders files loose inside the tar
[00:37] <biouser> right, capitol R, found it in the man, was about to panic ;) ty LjL rww
[00:37] <weatherkid> I need some help with a Atheros Card
[00:37] <SuperMoos> How does one replace Speedfan with a program ?
[00:37] <SuperMoos> (in linux)
[00:37] <elad`> In Eclipse's settings, I've chosen the compiler compliance level to be 6.0 by default, but when creating projects, java-1.5.0-gcj is my only option. Help?
[00:37] <LjL> chupy: no, not audacity, that's not realtime. i was thinking more "creox", "ecamegapedal" or "tapiir"
[00:37] <Sylphid> can anyone tell me how to force an app to release my mouse and keyboard... specifically nexuiz
[00:37] <litb> rww: oh
[00:37] <ziggles> dell inspiron mini 9 netbooks are going for $185 right now.... geeze (with ubuntu)
[00:37] <kabukan> Scunizi: doesnt see the drive at all in the partitioner tried using gparted it doesnt see the drive either, its a brand new seagate barracuda
[00:37] <chupy> i am gonna tate all of them
[00:37] <litb> is there some reason why to prefer dash for the system posix compliant shell to bash?
[00:37] <LjL> chupy: if you don't need it real-time, though... then just about any soundfile editor (including audacity) will let you, for example, change the pitch of audio - and that's a crude but effective way to change a voice
[00:37] <Pici> elad`: You need to tell Ubuntu to use a different java version: sudo update-alternatives --config java  (and perhaps javac as well)
[00:37] <chupy> no i want it in real time
[00:38] <wolter> is there a tar irc channel?
[00:38] <rww> litb: dash is POSIX complient and a lot faster than bash
[00:38] <litb> #gnu, wolter
[00:38] <litb> oh
[00:38] <LjL> wolter: sorry, didn't understand your concern here
[00:38] <litb> i see
[00:38] <wolter> LjL, do you understand me now?
[00:38] <rww> litb: there's more info about it at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh
[00:38] <litb> and what about 4.0 ?
[00:38] <litb> oh
[00:38] <weatherkid> !atheros
[00:38] <LjL> wolter: err... no
[00:38] <hmw> chupy - you might google for a "vocoder" program.
[00:38] <Pici> elad`: Actually, sudo update-java-alternatives should do them all at once
[00:38] <rww> litb: bash 4.0 isn't in the repositories yet
[00:39] <elad`> Pici, /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java is the currently selected. Shouldn't that be the one?
[00:39] <redzheb> please help with sound problem in my notebook. I have no sound at all
[00:39] <b1n42y> has anyone run windows games in any xp virtual machines successfully
[00:39] <wolter> LjL, uh ok. supposed i have file.cpp in folder/. I want to make folder.tar have file.cpp inside it, not folder/file.cpp.
[00:39] <ziggles> b1n42y, solitare in vmware
[00:40] <litb> rww: nice thanks
[00:40] <chupy> hmw searching...
[00:40] <b1n42y> ziggles: no 3d support?
[00:40] <hmw> b1n42y - some of my programs refused to work, because the copy protection thought, the CD would have been a virtual CD.
[00:40] <wolter> LjL, do you understand now?
[00:40] <LjL> wolter: oh - yes, i do now. well, one simple way is to just "cd" to the directory first
[00:40] <Kirsch> are there any anti-rootkit "helper daemons" that exist to notify me if one looks like its gonna be installed in a repository?
[00:40] <rww> wolter: cd folder; tar -cf filename.tar *
[00:41] <wolter> rww LjL thanks!
[00:41] <hmw> chupy - a machine making robot voice in real time is called "Vocoder". I hope, you find some.
[00:41] <LjL> Kirsch: a rootkit installed in a repository...?
[00:41] <Kirsch> LjL: anti-rootkit
[00:41] <LjL> Kirsch: ah, yes.
[00:41] <azlon> im reading about mkisofs but there are quite a few tags, how can i create an ISO of my current filesystem using mskisofs?
[00:42] <LjL> Kirsch: "chkrootkit" and "rkhunter"
[00:42] <Kirsch> LjL: thanks
[00:42] <azlon> mkisofs / /media/WD Passport/image.iso?
[00:42] <chupy> i found an extention for xmms
[00:42] <Kirsch> any preferences to either?
[00:42] <LjL> Kirsch: standard practice according to google is... to use both
[00:42] <rww> azlon: for a start, you'd want to change "WD Passport" to "WD\ Passport"
[00:43] <Kirsch> fair enough :-)
[00:43] <b1n42y> azlon: oh what you can create isos of current system... nice like ghosting ...
[00:43] <rww> chupy: xmms1 isn't supported any more
[00:43] <LjL> Kirsch: they don't really run in the background anyway - you have to run them manually when you want to check (although i believe the packages install a cronjob for you)
[00:43] <azlon> b1n42y: yeah, i now have my system working exactly the way i want it, now i want to keep it for when i mess it up in a couple days :)
[00:43] <chupy> :(
[00:44] <LjL> Kirsch: if you want something that *actually* works in the background as a daemon, then i'm afraid you're out of luck... although you could use broader-scope security-checking packages that can monitor for changes to any files, for instance
[00:44] <LjL> Kirsch: but those things aren't specific to rootkits, and can be annoying on a desktop install i suspect
[00:44] <elad`> I installed Postfix, telneted to 127.0.0.1 and sent a message to my gmail account. It told me the message was queued. I then QUIT-ed. I can't see the message on my gmail account, neither in the inbox nor the spam folder. I take it that it wasn't delivered. Why? Is it still queued?
[00:44] <Kirsch> LjL: understood, this is going to be on a server so...
[00:44] <racecar56> gotta go bye
[00:44] <Huufarted> azlon, if you have a large fs (> 650 MB) you can use a gparted live cd and burn your entire file system to an image over FTP to a local FTP server
[00:44] <b1n42y> azlon: you could also setup virtualbox and mess with that b4 messing with your 'real' system
[00:45] <Huufarted> b1n42y, good call
[00:45] <rww> elad`: It's possible that your ISP is blocking you from running an SMTP server. Many do.
[00:45] <elad`> rww, why?
[00:45] <b1n42y> Huufarted: shanks
[00:45] <elad`> Oh. Spam. Bastards.
[00:45] <erUSUL> elad`: to avoid spam and open relays...
[00:45] <LjL> Kirsch: well, "tripwire" is the first integrity checker that springs to mind to me (still not sure it works as a daemon), but there are more
[00:45] <elad`> How am I going to learn about SMTP then?
[00:45] <rww> elad`: exactly
[00:46] <LjL> Kirsch: do keep in mind that using things like tripwire will mean that you get notified when *any* file in root is changed - even if you changed it and you know you changed it
[00:46] <elad`> Is there some publicly accessible SMTP server I can interact with through the mail reader I'm writing?
[00:46] <azlon> hrmm
[00:47] <rww> elad`: to send mail? your ISP's smtp server or gmail's...
[00:47] <elad`> Also, how do I use postfix to see if my ISP is indeed blocking me?
[00:47] <azlon> i just want to create an ISO of my drive on my external HDD... im running a netbook so i cant burn it to CD or DVD
[00:47] <elad`> rww: My ISP's server uses ESMTP. I'd like to start with the simpler SMTP.
[00:47] <Kirsch> LjL: tripwire is a good idea, and i've actually written a script to do similar things, my server's been getting hacked pretty consistently the past few days, so if i need something like that, i may us ethat instead of a custom script.
[00:47] <rww> elad`: oh. I think gmail's SMTP server has complications too.
[00:47] <TJ-42> i
[00:47] <Kirsch> rww: is gmail fucked up today for some reason? or was that me?
[00:47] <elad`> rww, unless ESMTP is actually quite simpler, and you can direct me at an example of a session.
[00:48] <elad`> rww, could I send you an email then, to see if it is indeed gmail?
[00:48] <rww> Kirsch: 1) Please don't cuss in this channel, it's against the channel guidelines. 2) It's been working fine for me.
[00:48] <TJ-42> I'm trying to copy files from an old ntfs partition and I keep getting the message "permission denied" on some, but not all, files, even when I use sudo... what could be wrong?
[00:48] <Kirsch> rww: ok sorry
[00:48] <erUSUL> elad`: send only local mail
[00:48] <b1n42y> does anyone know if theres a way to convert ubuntus ext3 or reiser to ext4 and reiser4 respectively and is it wise to do so?
[00:48] <elad`> erUSUL?
[00:49] <rww> b1n42y: no idea about reiser, but Ubuntu Intrepid doesn't support ext4. I hear it's possible to do it in Jaunty, but Jaunty isn't supported here (try #ubuntu+1)
[00:49] <LjL> Kirsch: you may want to apt-cache search for "integrity check", "intrusion detect", "file change check", you'll get a few good hits. i think (though i haven't tried yet) that if you add "dnotify" or "inotify" as a keyword, you'll likely narrow down the search to those programs that actually work as daemon (since dnotify is the infrastructure in the kernel that lets programs know when files change)
[00:49] <bcurtiswx> anyone here good with getting a mail server to work correctly with ubuntu?
[00:49] <rww> elad`: I use gmail, so I don't think I'm the person to ask ;)
[00:49] <ryanprior> b1n42y: It's not very wise to do so, no. The gains aren't that great, and the risk is reasonably high.
[00:49] <b1n42y> rww: thanks, i guess i'll wait till april
[00:49] <erUSUL> b1n42y: for ext3 --> to ext4 is possible but not wise
[00:49] <elad`> How do I see postfix's logs, or whatever, to see if the message is still in the queue?
[00:49] <Kirsch> LjL: that sounds like a great way for me to go, thanks! i'm gonna do this now and see. thanks for the help!!
[00:49] <b1n42y> THANKS
[00:49] <propagandhi> bcurtiswx: ask a more specific question
[00:50] <ryanprior> b1n42y: If you have good backups and you're running a high-performance system which needs every bit of performance, then it's probably a good idea to do a restore from backup after formatting as ext4.
[00:50] <nellmathew> anyone know how i can mount an external usb cdrom & boot it from within the alt. install cd?
[00:50] <elad`> elad@elad-desktop:~$ postfix start
[00:50] <elad`> postfix: error: to submit mail, use the Postfix sendmail command
[00:50] <ryanprior> nellmathew: What do you mean, from within the alternate install CD?
[00:50] <b1n42y> ryanprior: im just trying to squeeze out every drop from my laptops 5400rpm HD
[00:50] <elad`> oh
[00:50] <elad`> sudo
[00:50] <elad`> sorry
[00:51] <FloodBot2> elad`: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:51] <Nilbus> has anyone noticed issues recently Totem streaming internet radio?
[00:51] <LjL> Kirsch: but anyway i would also try to think of the root of the problem, as you say you're getting "hacked pretty constantly" - that's kind of worrying, isn't it? i mean, sure, *detecting* an instrusion is useful, but preventing them is even more so. does your server have and need very many services open to the internet?
[00:51] <nellmathew> ryanprior: from within the command line maybe?.. my internal cdrom won't read cds properly.. and i don't have bios usb support.
[00:51] <rww> b1n42y: pretty sure ext4 on a laptop isn't going to get you any significant performance gain
[00:51] <bcurtiswx> i did the tutorial for how to set up a mail server at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer i see the messages in /var/mail/<my username>
[00:51] <ryanprior> b1n42y: Ah. ext4 is mostly designed to allow higher performance for servers with big hard drives and make things nicer for system administrators. If you want better laptop performance, you should get a faster hard drive or SSD; filesystem changes won't affect you much, since 5400 rpm is always going to be slow.
[00:51] <bcurtiswx> i installed squirrelmail
[00:51] <MidtownNewbie> all: i have a usb thumb drive that i can't seem to use on any type of machine. i'd like to reformat it, but how do i know what /dev/sd# number it is?
[00:51] <bcurtiswx> and tried using evolution
[00:52] <bcurtiswx> but i can't get it to grab those messages into a mail GUI
[00:52] <fearful> !enter | bcurtiswx
[00:52] <ryanprior> nellmathew: If you don't have bios usb support, you're probably going to be out of luck.
[00:52] <b1n42y> rww: ryanprior: thanks looks like it just noatime and maybe writeback journaling for me then , yes?
[00:52] <ryanprior> nellmathew: You might try netbooting, if your BIOS supports that.
[00:53] <bcurtiswx> haha, ok, one more time here..
[00:53] <stevetarot> is there a way i can kill my onboard PCI Intel video card so it doesnt load into Xorg
[00:53] <elad`> rww, can I check if postfix has messages it didn't manage to deliver?
[00:53] <b1n42y> stevetarot: bios?
[00:53] <propagandhi> bcurtiswx: are u using pop or imap
[00:53] <bcurtiswx> i did the tutorial for how to set up a mail server at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer i see the messages in /var/mail/<my username>, i installed squirrelmail, and tried using evolution, but i can't get it to grab those messages into a mail GUI
[00:53] <bcurtiswx> im using imap
[00:54] <propagandhi> and what errors do u see
[00:54] <bcurtiswx> i've tried pop3 too, (i didn't restrict which i would use).
[00:54] <stevetarot> b1n: i set bios to PCI but when i boot up it still sees my Intel card, im afraid this is messing up my boot
[00:54] <bcurtiswx> propagandhi: nothing abnormal
[00:54] <propagandhi> well what happens when u try to connect to the mailbox
[00:55] <WarriorSlayer> ppl there's any way to mount a ext4 fs in ubuntu 8.10?
[00:55] <bcurtiswx> nothing.. it asks for password.. then nothing gets downloaded
[00:55] <WarriorSlayer> just for ro no write
[00:55] <ryanprior> WarriorSlayer: You can mount ext4 as ext3 or ext2 for read-only access.
[00:56] <WarriorSlayer> ryanprior: how?
[00:56] <propagandhi> bcurtiswx: is anything recorded in the logs
[00:56] <ryanprior> WarriorSlayer: Same command you would use to mount an ext3 or ext2 filesystem as read-only.
[00:56] <WarriorSlayer> ryanprior: mount -ro source dest?
[00:56] <b1n42y> stevetarot: didnt you say you want to kill your onboard gfx card
[00:56] <b1n42y> pci*
[00:56] <ryanprior> WarriorSlayer: mount -ro -t ext3 source dest
[00:57] <rdz> is there a cool frontent for lame, that lets me convert a few tracks in one go?
[00:57] <propagandhi> bcurtiswx: and which  did u go with courier, cyrus or dovecot
[00:57] <illumin8> Question, how does ubuntu handel terabyte drives? any issues reported?
[00:57] <stevetarot> yes, i have two video cards, one is onboard one is nvidia
[00:57] <bcurtiswx> propagandhi: theres a nice test at http://www.zoneedit.com/smtp.html and it works, yes there are things in the logs, but its not error messages, "Feb 27 19:44:37 weather dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<username>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, TLS"
[00:57] <Scunizi> rdz: ripperx
[00:57] <WarriorSlayer> ryanprior: ty very much dude :]
[00:57] <rdz> Scunizi, thanks
[00:57] <stevetarot> but im afraid autoboot loads up the onboard one and not nvidia
[00:57] <Spang> Has anyone asked google what the latest Ubuntu release is recently? :)
[00:57] <Scunizi> rdz: it's in the repo's.. :)
[00:57] <stevetarot> is there a way i can see wich video card xorg is trying to use
[00:58] <rdz> Scunizi, very cool. already found it
[00:58] <ryanprior> stevetarot: lsmod
[00:58] <b1n42y> stevetarot: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:58] <hmw> my notebook has 4 primary partitions (ntfs system, huge ntfs data, swap, linux) and i need more. Can I convert a primary into an extended partition? Do I have to delete hda2 (ntfs data) and make it all new?
[00:58] <Spang> http://www.google.com/search?q=latest+ubuntu+release
[00:59] <Flannel> Spang: #ubuntu-offtopic is the best place for non-support questions
[00:59] <ryanprior> hmw: You could resize an old partition with extra space on it in order to create a new one.
[00:59] <hmw> ryanprior - i already have 4 primary partitions.
[00:59] <rdz> Scunizi, i actually have wav files, no cd. do you know, if there is way to use ripperx to also encode wav files to mp3?
[01:00] <Spang> Not so much a question, just thought google's answer might have been of interest. Apologies :)
[01:00] <Drakeson> how can I add a new virtual font to my system (I want to instruct my system to show dejavu when it is asked for bitstream vera)
[01:00] <Scunizi> rdz: hmmm.. never tried that one.. just a sec
[01:00] <stevetarot> if I want to use NVIDIA PCI:2:0:0 is that something i should put in xorg.conf
[01:00] <rdz> Scunizi, aha.. nevermind.. i guess you can only rip from cd
[01:00] <b1n42y> by the way if anyone has encountered bottom panel getting stuck, disable animation in panel properties in configuration editor
[01:01] <hmw> ryanprior - i already have 4 primary partitions, so I have to cancel one, to make an extended there. (you only got 4 partition entries. With extended you have max. 3 primary + several in the extended)
[01:01] <Scunizi> rdz: not true
[01:01] <rdz> Scunizi, the name says it all, doesn't it?
[01:01] <ryanprior> hmw: You can create as many primary partitions as you acn stomach.
[01:01] <rdz> Scunizi, ah... cool...
[01:01] <hmw> ryanprior - no.
[01:01] <Scunizi> rdz: you can do what you want.. open the configuration button and take a look.. you'll see an option to "convert from existing wav" to mp3
[01:01] <hmw> ryanprior - not with the MBR (msdos) we are using.
[01:02] <rdz> Scunizi, found it.. many thanks
[01:02] <overmind> ey, what messenger support webcam please, i don't like amsn
[01:02] <Scunizi> rdz: :) .. my paypal account is......
[01:02] <hmw> overmind: skype
[01:02] <Scunizi> overmind: ekiga  .. and it's built in
[01:02] <b1n42y> stevetarot: if im not mistaken there should be a GUI program for selecting GFX card, which will dump it into your xorg file
[01:02] <MidtownNewbie> All? Help with a usb thumb drive?
[01:03] <Scunizi> not mounting?
[01:03] <overmind> ok friends thank's
[01:03] <MidtownNewbie> Correct.
[01:03] <MidtownNewbie> Not even an option.
[01:03] <ryanprior> hmw: Ah, you mean you aren't using LVM. That sucks.
[01:03] <MidtownNewbie> But others do.
[01:03] <b1n42y> stevetarot: have you tried system > admin > hardware drivers
[01:04] <Scunizi> MidtownNewbie: check this out.. I just had to use it for an older mp3 player that won't mount anymore on ibex.. did on hardy but not 8.10  .. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB
[01:04] <hmw> ryanprior - yes, it does. Stupid me... guess I will resize the data partition and reinstall Linux to an extended partition.
[01:04] <Scunizi> MidtownNewbie: I plugged mine in and then immediately typed dmesg into a terminal.. with that info I was able to use the mount command
[01:04] <MidtownNewbie> Scunizi: okay, but i should've mentioned that the drive doesn't seem to work on *any* machine.
[01:05] <ryanprior> hmw: Make sure you have good backups. Don't feel stupid -- the installer never says "Hey, it would be a really good idea to use LVM!" which it should IMO.
[01:05] <stevetarot> Im afraid thats where my boot fails and hangs, its saying my nvidia card is on (0@2:0:0) but my xconf has a line "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
[01:05] <Scunizi> MidtownNewbie: any linux machine or ANY machine?
[01:05] <MidtownNewbie> Scunizi: any machine, linux or otherwise
[01:05] <stevetarot> im working in shell right now because when i boot into gnome in safe mode most utilities dont work including the ones you gusy mentioned
[01:05] <Scunizi> MidtownNewbie: once plugged in does lsusb return anything or dmesg?
[01:05] <ryanprior> MidtownNewbie: It's busted then. Buy a new one.
[01:06] <hmw> ryanprior - Still stupid me - I wanted 4 primaries, for whatever reason I might have had in mind.
[01:06] <rdz> Scunizi, i still don't see, how you can set the sourcefile..
[01:06] <bcurtiswx> Anyone, i installed an ubuntu mail server through the ubuntu guide.  Using dovecot, I seem to get the messages (as they are sitting in /var/mail/<my username>) but i can't retrieve them using a GUI (like squirrelmail or evolution).. can anyone help me find out why (i've searched the internet with no help, and logs don't show any errors).
[01:06] <b1n42y> stevetarot: tried booting in safe mode?
[01:06] <Scunizi> rdz: hang on
[01:06] <b1n42y> stevetarot: ahh
[01:06] <stevetarot> b1: safe mode works and its using my nvidia but regular kernal boot hangs
[01:07] <rww> bcurtiswx: you probably need to use a mail reader that supports mbox. I think thunderbird can do that.
[01:07] <MidtownNewbie> ryanprior / Scunizi: lsusb does return something...  Bus 001 Device 003: ID 058f:1234 Alcor Micro Corp.
[01:07] <rww> bcurtiswx: or "local mail delivery". I forget what exactly it calls it
[01:07] <b1n42y> stevetarot: so can you boot in safe mode and try sys>admin>hardware drivers
[01:07] <bcurtiswx> rww: will Mailbox make it so most e-mail software can get mail from my server?
[01:07] <stevetarot> right now im reading Xorg.0.log but im not seeing anything special
[01:07] <Sylphid> can anyone tell me how to force an app to release my mouse and keyboard... specifically nexuiz
[01:07] <ryanprior> MidtownNewbie: Have you tried reformatting it?
[01:08] <MidtownNewbie> ryanprior: that's what i'd like to do, except i don't know what /dev/sd# it is
[01:08] <stevetarot> ok hang on b1 let me reboot
[01:08] <ryanprior> Sylphid: ctrl+alt+backspace kills X in a way that nexuiz shouldn't be able to stop.
[01:08] <jcapinc> can anyone tell me what the purity package is and what it is used for?
[01:08] <Scunizi> rdz: I think you just set the directory for where the wav files are located and the directory you want to mp3's to be then click "OK" to get back to the main part of the program and "scan".. I don't have any wav's to test sorry..
[01:08] <stevetarot> but from what i can remember that doesn't work in safe mode, throws an error
[01:08] <wng-> is it possible to use turbotax online w/ ubuntu? I swear there used to be a way to skip the system compatibility check
[01:08] <ryanprior> Sylphid: If that doesn't work because X is borked, alt+sysrq+r puts the keyboard in raw mode, taking control away from x.
[01:08] <badfish69> i have no sound in snes9x-gtk
[01:09] <stevetarot> is there a command line equivalent of admin->hardwaredrivers
[01:09] <rdz> Scunizi, there is no option to set source directory.. where have you seen it?
[01:09] <Akuma> where does gnome keep the session files
[01:09] <ryanprior> MidtownNewbie: It won't be a /dev/sdx I don't think.
[01:09] <Scunizi> MidtownNewbie: you might be able to find the sd<x><x> location using dmesg
[01:09] <Akuma> where all the data for the programs that should be running is?
[01:09] <MidtownNewbie> Scunizi: i don't think i saw it in there
[01:09] <b1n42y> stevetarot: mmm, i think there is actually
[01:09] <Sylphid> ryanprior, i know ctrl alt backspace doesnt work because nexuiz catches it for some reason
[01:09] <Akuma> like for when loging out and logging back in
[01:09] <azlon> can anybody tell me why this doesnt work: sudo mkisofs -split-output -o test.iso / /media/WD\Passport
[01:10] <Akuma> so my programs appear again
[01:10] <Sylphid> ryanprior, ill try sys+r thanks
[01:10] <stevetarot> im going to boot gnome in safe mode anyway
[01:10] <Scunizi> rdz: it doesn't say source.. just "wav" directory and "mp3" directory.. I guess you have to accept that it might be smart enough to figure out what you're doing with the switches you've checked.
[01:10] <wolter> with witch command do I access the default internet browser?
[01:10] <MidtownNewbie> ryanprior: i got the /dev/sd# idea from http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-format-usb-pen-drive/ ...  any other way to format it?
[01:10] <b1n42y> stevetarot: more to do with X setup than hardware
[01:10] <hmw> Sylphid - did you try kill -9 PROCESSNAME   ?
[01:10] <b1n42y> stevetarot: cant remember how to invoke it
[01:10] <Scunizi> MidtownNewbie: unplug it and plug it back in then check .. should be the last thing in dmesg from terminal
[01:10] <Sylphid> ryanprior, can you tell me how to put it back to a normal mode?
[01:10] <ryanprior> MidtownNewbie: Actually, when I put mine in it mounts it as sdb, so maybe that would work.
[01:10] <stevetarot> what are you lookin for exactly
[01:11] <Scunizi> ryanprior: MidtownNewbie unless he has other drives in the machine..
[01:11] <bcurtiswx> rww: did you get my last message?
[01:11] <ryanprior> Sylphid: I don't know. The only time I put the keyboard in raw mode is when my kernel is locking up and I'm trying to shut it down before it starts my 'puter on fire.
[01:11] <avian> Question: I'm trying to setup a DHCP server to seperate out known and unknown clients into different subnets - does anyone know a good tutorial?
[01:11] <stevetarot> damn in recovery mode my computer works perfect
[01:11] <stevetarot> well almost
[01:11] <Sylphid> hmw, im unable to because trying to switch to a console or a vty is unsuccessful because the game catches the keys and for some reason X does not
[01:11] <b1n42y> you could also look into apt-get install insert nvidia-package here
[01:11] <unop> Sylphid, how about CTRL+ALT+F1 ?
[01:11] <stevetarot> my video card works perfect that is
[01:11] <MidtownNewbie> ryanprior / Scunizi: shall i pastebin the dmesg output?
[01:11] <ryanprior> MidtownNewbie: Ah, that came out wrong. I didn't mean "reformat sdb and see if that works"!
[01:12] <Scunizi> MidtownNewbie: sure
[01:12] <Sylphid> unop, tried... no go.. nexuiz catches it
[01:12] <hmw> Sylphid - if you got sshd running, you could try from outside
[01:12] <rdz> Scunizi, it doesn't find them..
[01:12] <Brucee> how do i exit of the gui and go to terminal? i dont want to run a terminal, i want to exit out of gui
[01:12] <stevetarot> okay i went to system->admin->hardware drivers and i got "failed to connect to /var/run/dbus"
[01:12] <hmw> Bruceee - /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[01:12] <avian> does anyone have a decent tutorial for getting a DHCP server to work?
[01:12] <azlon> if i create an iso of / will that also add /media devices to the iso?
[01:12] <unop> Sylphid, the magic sysrq sequence then.  heard of REISUB?
[01:13] <rdz> Scunizi, i am running ripperx from the directory where the wavs are located, but it doesn't see them. i cannot hit the 'go' button
[01:13] <Scunizi> rdz: sorry .. you might want to either search synaptic for mp3 or ripper, converter etc.. or read up on lame or mencoder which will also do it..
[01:13] <bcurtiswx> rww: sorry my last question i meant maildir
[01:13] <Sylphid> hmw, yes that should work ... my goal however is to put the game into the background to switch tasks
[01:13] <b1n42y> stevetarot: so try sys>admin>hardware drivers ,by the sound of it in safe mode its using generic drivers for nvidia in normal mode it tries loading somehting else and fails
[01:13] <Scunizi> rdz: you don't have to run it "from"
[01:13] <Maior> I'm trying to debootstrap hardy onto my laptop (from Knoppix (I wonder if I should ask this in #knoppix)) - it validates the packages, it extracts the packages, then it fails with W: Failure trying to run: "chroot /mnt/hda1 mount -t proc proc /proc" - absolutely no idea why, google isn't being of much use
[01:13] <stevetarot> correct
[01:13] <Maior> any suggestions?
[01:13] <Scunizi>  rdz from the directory.. just change the directory reference in Config..
[01:13] <rdz> Scunizi, yo.. i know lame, but i am looking for  a way to convert several files in one go...
[01:13] <avian> about that DHCP server...
[01:13] <Sylphid> unop, yes im familiar with magic sysrq
[01:14] <b1n42y> stevetarot: ok, have you tried installing drivers from command line
[01:14] <rdz> Scunizi, yeah. the reference is './'.. so the path is ok
[01:14] <MidtownNewbie> ryanprior / Scunizi: http://pastebin.com/d77d23d94
[01:14] <Scunizi> rdz: you can do that with lame and the find command.. I just don't know the particulars
[01:14] <Brucee> hmw : says permission denied
[01:14] <rdz> Scunizi, but thanks for your time
[01:14] <stevetarot> i installed nvidia drivers command line yea
[01:14] <Scunizi> rdz: sure
[01:14] <stevetarot> they work great in safe mode
[01:14] <hmw> azlon - I used the --exclude switch for making a full backup of my mounted file system. Look at http://harald.ist.org/LFS/lfs-diary/#a-working-backup for an example.
[01:14] <berni> hi q: how i can i get the freespace of a NOT mounted NTFS partition
[01:14] <dtchen_> Maior: try passing --verbose to debootstrap
[01:14] <hmw> Bruceee: sorry, it is "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop"
[01:14] <rdz> Scunizi, yo..i know.. but it needs some time to write that script.. and i am sure, that someone has already written it
[01:14] <stevetarot> what is the difference between "recovery mode" and regular boot
[01:14] <azlon> hmw: thanks
[01:14] <Sylphid> unop, my app is still responsive, my goal is to toggle between an app that grabs keyboard+mouse from X and switch back to standard input
[01:14] <unop> avian, you can get dhcpd to dish out IP address for clients with known MAC addresses - but that somewhat defeats the point of using a DHCP server in the first place. Also if you change the NIC on one of the clients, you have to reconfigure the DHCPd
[01:15] <Scunizi> rdz: should be a sort one liner
[01:15] <Sylphid> unop, trying to multi task gaming+ other
[01:15] <berni> i need this for an opensource project i'm on
[01:15] <avian> unop: Thanks, but I think most of that went over my head.
[01:15] <b1n42y> stevetarot: less drivers generic drivers....
[01:15] <b1n42y> i guess
[01:15] <rdz> Scunizi, hehe.. right.. but still, you need to be comfortable with the bash in order to write it quickly.
[01:15] <bcurtiswx> do mail software like evolution and squirrelmail read from Maildir ok.. (as i was just told they don't from mbox)
[01:15] <rdz> Scunizi, i'll try anyway.. thanks
[01:16] <Brucee> thank you hmw ! ;-)
[01:16] <stevetarot> ahhh dang
[01:16] <Maior> dtchen_: exactly the same output
[01:16] <avian> unop: I really just want to seperate computers with known MACs into one subnet, and everything else into a different subnet,
[01:16] <berni> hi q: how i can i get the freespace of a NOT mounted NTFS partition
[01:16] <unop> avian, this should give you an idea - http://www.usenet-forums.com/linux-networking/61735-dhcpd-conf-fixed-address-concrete-host.html
[01:16] <avian> unop: Thanks
[01:16] <b1n42y> stevetarot: smoko time, see if theres a difference in your xorg now, whilst in safe mode
[01:16] <Scunizi> rdz: someone in here can do it in nothing flat
[01:16] <stevetarot> will do
[01:16] <unop> rdz, what are you trying to do?
[01:16] <Brucee> hmw : seems to halt now, how do i start the gdm again?
[01:17] <hmw> Bruceee: sorry, it is "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start"
[01:17] <bcurtiswx> dtchen_: do you know a bit about mail servers?
[01:17] <BlueAidan> question: I'm trying to get the most recent version of xfwm installed in intrepid.
[01:17] <Scunizi> unop: rdz would like to batch convert some wav files to mp3 using lame
[01:17] <hmw> BlueAidan: that wasnt a question.
[01:17] <BlueAidan> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/i386/xfwm4 shows             4.4.3-0ubuntu1~intrepid1 is available, but I only see 4.4.2-5ubuntu2
[01:17] <unop> rdz,  for f in *.wav; do lame "$f" "${f%.wav}.mp3"; done
[01:17] <BlueAidan> hmw: patience grasshopper
[01:17] <rdz> Scunizi, i got some 'find' example somewhere... i just need to find it.
[01:17] <Brucee> hmw : i stopped it, but seems to halt, is not responding to any commands , what can i do?
[01:18] <BlueAidan> in synaptic
[01:18] <berni> question: how i can i get the freespace of a NOT mounted NTFS partition
[01:18] <hmw> BlueAidan: okay. I am the master of patience now.
[01:18] <rdz> unop, ah.well.... that is cool as well.. many thanks
[01:18] <MidtownNewbie> ryanprior / Scunizi: (reposting in case you didn't see it the first time) http://pastebin.com/d77d23d94
[01:18] <ryanprior> MidtownNewbie: I don't know what to tell you. USB devices are a mystery to me.
[01:19] <BlueAidan> nevermind
[01:19] <Scunizi> rdz: unop comes up with good stuff :)  .. he's been banging that keyboard for some time
[01:19] <rdz> unop, it is running and saving me a lot of time.. ;-)
[01:19] <unop> rdz,  find /path/to/somewhere -iname "*.wav" -type f -print0 | while read -d '' f; do lame "$f" "${f%.wav}.mp3"; done  # should work if you want to recurse into subdirectories
[01:19] <MidtownNewbie> ryanprior: okay, thanks anyway.  Scunizi?
[01:19] <rdz> unop, isn't there '-exec' for find as well?
[01:20] <unop> rdz, sure .. but I hate using that because it's another level of quoting
[01:20] <rdz> unop, already through
[01:20] <hmw> Brucee - hmm. CTRL-ALT-F2 should bring up the console #2.
[01:20] <rdz> unop, i see
[01:20] <Brucee> hmw : thanks again
[01:20] <Brucee> trying to get familiar with linux
[01:21] <Scunizi> unop: do you know if lame also converts wma's ?
[01:21] <unop> rdz,  find /path/to/somewhere -iname "*.wav" -type f -exec sh -c 'lame "$1" "${1%%.wav}.mp3"' _ {} +   # should do
[01:21] <b1n42y> stevetarot: you could also try removing nvidia drivers in safe mode, then read
[01:21] <rdz> unop, crazy.. i need to save that one..
[01:21] <unop> Scunizi, i believe it does - but don't quote me on that - i prefer ffmpeg for most conversions
[01:21] <b1n42y> stevetarot: !nvidia
[01:21] <stevetarot> hey
[01:22] <stevetarot> not sure what you mean, i do need my nvidia drivers dont I?
[01:22] <ryanprior> b1n42y: instead use "!nvidia | stevetarot"
[01:22] <b1n42y> thanks
[01:22] <Scunizi> unop: would the command be the same just substitute ffmpeg for lame?
[01:22] <b1n42y> stevetarot: well it sounds like you botched nvidia driver install
[01:23] <b1n42y> !nvidia | stevetarot
[01:23] <unop> Scunizi, yea pretty much - except with ffmpeg you have to specify the input file with -i  -- in that case it's the "$1"
[01:23] <wartalker> i want to install kde4.2, but need many dependencies, how i installl those
[01:23] <stevetarot> hmm ok I will try to reinstall nvidia
[01:23] <azlon> hmw: you mentioned
[01:23] <stevetarot> what is the command to uninstall the driver?
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[01:24] <b1n42y> stevetarot: apt-get remove package name, i think
[01:24] <azlon> hmw: you mentioned "Linux Rescue". i did a search for that in my package manager but was unable to find it. google search gives me tons of unrelated results... where can i find Linux Rescue?
[01:24] <Scunizi> unop: I'll give it a shot with lame and see how badly these wma's sound after conversion.. Thanks
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> b1n42y: thta'll ned sudo
[01:24] <b1n42y> stevetarot: man apt-get
[01:25] <unop> ActionParsnip, you a yorkshire lad?
[01:25] <b1n42y> ActionParsnip: it will tell him :D
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> unop: aye, west yorsjire hardcore
[01:25] <hmw> azlon: its not a ubuntu program, but another system containing an easy to use backup thing, it's very similar to Norton Ghost. Google for stuff like "linux rescue livecd download"
[01:25] <unop> ActionParsnip, nice, south yorks here :)
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> b1n42y: i just like full commands
[01:25] <Maior> oh, hmm
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> unop: barnsley / sheffield?
[01:26] <unop> ActionParsnip, sheffield
[01:26] <wartalker> i want to install kde4.2, but need many dependencies, how i installl this one time
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> unop: i'm leeds represent
[01:26] <unop> ActionParsnip, I figured from your hostname :)
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> unop: nice :)
[01:26] <golpemaestro> hola
[01:26] <Maior> "mount: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by mount)"
[01:26] <Maior> probably not healthy
[01:27] <IndyGunFreak> azlon: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=System+Rescue+CD&l=1
[01:27] <b1n42y> ActionParsnip: i got to go play tennis, help him out if my recommendations dont work, i thought i try seeing how no one picked it up
[01:27] <Maior> dtchen_: ^^ (I found /media/hda1/debootstrap/debootstrap.log)
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> unop: smal world eh
[01:27] <bcurtiswx> Anyone, i installed an ubuntu mail server through the ubuntu guide.  Using dovecot, I seem to get the messages (as they are sitting in /var/mail/<my username>) but i can't retrieve them using a GUI (like squirrelmail or evolution).. can anyone help me find out why (i've searched the internet with no help, and logs don't show any errors).  im using mbox
[01:27] <Royall> I'm having problems with my external HDD. I am unable to umount it (device is busy) and when I pull the USB and put it back in later, ubuntu doesn't recognize that it even exists without rebooting
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> b1n42y: whats the goal
[01:27] <Scunizi> unop: nope.. lame was lame with wma's. no conversion at all.. so should the command read... for -i in *.wma; do ffmpeg "$i" "${i%.wma}.mp3";done  ... ?
[01:28] <dtchen_> Maior: ouch
[01:28] <b1n42y> ActionParsnip: normal boot, he cant post x server, safe mode all good, so his nvidia driver install botched IMO
[01:28] <Maior> dtchen_: indeed
[01:28] <bcurtiswx> dtchen_: are you good with mail servers?
[01:28] <Maior> dtchen_: really don't get why there's quite so much fail. going to try a random non-hardy thing
[01:28] <MidtownNewbie> Scunizi: hello?
[01:28] <dny> is it possible to open a new konsole window an pass some commands that are immediately exectued? like "konsole command" or sth. like that?
[01:28] <unop> Scunizi,  errm no,    for f in *.wma; do ffmpeg -i "$f" "${f%.wma}.mp3"; done
[01:28] <hmw> GParted wouldnt let me swapoff, neither did the command line version do it. What could be the reasons? (It seems, i am using 30% of my RAM right now)
[01:29] <Scunizi> MidtownNewbie: yep
[01:29] <Maior> dtchen_: ah
[01:29] <Scunizi> unop: ah.. ok.. thanks :)
[01:29] <unop> Scunizi, it's ffmpeg that takes the -i  not for (for is part of bash)
[01:29] <MidtownNewbie> Scunizi: hey, um, so, my pastebin?  had a chance to take a look at it yet?
[01:29] <Maior> dtchen_: /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/hardy is a symlink to gutsy :s
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> b1n42y: sounds likely
[01:29] <hmw> dny: gnome-terminal -x EVERYTHING HERE WILL BE EXECUTED
[01:29] <unop> ActionParsnip, indeed .. but with ubuntu, the world's not so small after all :)
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> unop: true true, if you 're in leeds dude look me up
[01:30] <Maior> dtchen_: though actually, looking at symlinks, I suspect they use the name for things
[01:30] <unop> ActionParsnip, sure :)
[01:30] <b1n42y> ActionParsnip: his in the process of uninstalling and starting again after reading bots nvidia link
[01:30]  * unop runs a physical traceroute on ActionParsnip  :)
[01:30] <Maior> unop: for what it's worth - Essex/Cambridge ;)
[01:31] <Iceman_B^Ltop> wow
[01:31] <dny> hmw: ah thank you, i figured out for kde konsole it's -e
[01:31] <ActionParsnip> unop: kirkstall uk, come on over
[01:31] <unop> Maior, you exist in two counties? :)
[01:31] <Iceman_B^Ltop> is ebox supposed to install and setup like 4573027320 different services?
[01:31] <dny> but the window closes :(
[01:31] <Scunizi> MidtownNewbie: sorry.. my irc client is acting weird when my nick isn't mentioned first in the line I don't get highlighted on this end.. can you repost it?
[01:31] <Maior> unop: depends on time of year ;)
[01:31] <ActionParsnip> b1n42y: whats the username
[01:31] <unop> Maior, ahh - I was beginning to worry then :p
[01:31] <MidtownNewbie> Scunizi: http://pastebin.com/d77d23d94
[01:32] <hmw> dny: -e looks like the thing that only takes the word immediately after the -e. In gnome-terminal -x is the same as -e, but the whole rest of the command is interpreted as to be executed. Might be the same in KDE.
[01:33] <hmw> ryanprior - just deleted the swap and made an ext of it. Yeah! I dont even have to touch some fstab things!
[01:33] <uptill3> Is anyone familiar with dpkg?  I'm trying to figure out how to duplicate some rpm functionality
[01:33] <ryanprior> hmw: Just make sure you don't use it for swap space by accident. =P
[01:33] <stevetarot> is telinit 3 safe to execute from shell when X is not running?
[01:33] <unop> uptill3, somewhat. what do you want to know?
[01:33] <Scunizi> MidtownNewbie: looks like it's seen but it doesn't respond with a /dev point.. have you tried looking for it with gparted?
[01:33] <hmw> ryanprior - i am currently trying to activate hda5 as swap
[01:34] <hmw> ryanprior - hda3 is my ext now.
[01:34] <MidtownNewbie> Scunizi: will try, 1 sec
[01:34] <unop> stevetarot, on debian/ubuntu, runlevels 2 to 5 are all the same -- it doesn't make a difference, but yea, you should be ok to do that
[01:34] <dny> hmw: well my idea is to open a konsole window with ssh connection via hotkey
[01:34] <RantingHuman> Scunizi: try '/hilight Scunizi', irssi highlights you even when your nick is at the end of a sentence (or anywhere, for that matter) then
[01:35] <stevetarot> crap i got a segmentation fault
[01:35] <stevetarot> why do I keep getting segmentation faults
[01:35] <hmw> dny: i don't know the KDE terminal. If you encounter problems, you could try encapsulating the ssh command in quotation marks: "ssh user@..."
[01:35] <uptill3> unop: I'm trying to figure out how to duplicate 'rpm -qa --changelog'
[01:35] <Scunizi> RantingHuman: Thanks.. I typically do that but I'm ssh'd into a server on my lan that's fairly new.. Needless to say I'm still taming it. :)
[01:35] <uptill3> unop: within dpkg, if it's even possible
[01:35] <RantingHuman> Scunizi: ah, all right :D
[01:36] <unop> uptill3, its been 7 years since I used any redhat - what does that do?
[01:36] <uptill3> unop: it pukes out the changelog for all the packages installed currently
[01:36] <b1n42y> stevetarot: seg faults are memory issues, or programs accessing memory issues if im not mistaken if it happens alot run memtest from boot cd
[01:36] <uptill3> unop: I'm trying to port a script that uses that to search for patch names within the output to verify that certain things have been applied
[01:37] <Scunizi> RantingHuman: love irssi.. and screen.. espicially with screen split horizontally
[01:37] <unop> uptill3, I guess this is out of the scope of dpkg .. I think you might be interested in apt-listchanges
[01:37] <stevetarot> should I re-install Heron Ubuntu, is it more stable?
[01:37] <dny> hmw: i also tried that, but the window always closes, and a simple "konsole --new-tab" does not work... perhaps my installation is broken
[01:37] <uptill3> unop: is that a package?
[01:37] <RantingHuman> Scunizi: me too, but I have yet to try splitting it horizontally
[01:37] <unop> uptill3, yes
[01:37] <uptill3> ah, just found it
[01:37] <b1n42y> stevetarot: whta version you using at the moment
[01:37] <uptill3> thanks, I'll check it out
[01:38] <stevetarot> the latest on the ubuntu homepage
[01:38] <deddert> does anyone know of any at home computer jobs that work
[01:38] <unop> uptill3, maybe, apt-listbugs too?
[01:38] <b1n42y> 8.10?
[01:38] <stevetarot> yes yes
[01:38] <dny> hmw: now i got it. thanks for your help ;)
[01:38] <Scunizi> RantingHuman: easy.. ^aS  then ^a TAB to switch from top to bottom.. ^aX to eliminate the split
[01:38] <hmw> dny: Looks like the command is being executed and the terminal thinks, it wouldnt be needed anymore. Look at the man page.
[01:38] <uptill3> unop: thanks
[01:39] <MidtownNewbie> Scunizi: i don't think gparted sees the usb thumb drive
[01:39] <deddert> is there a channel that knows about jobs from home that work
[01:39] <b1n42y> stevetarot: 8.10 seems fine for me, how old is your computer ? when did you get seg faults?
[01:39] <Scunizi> MidtownNewbie: that's quite possible.. if it doesn't see it and you can't find it with sudo fdisk -l or in dmesg then toss it.
[01:40] <stevetarot> i get seg faults all the time i thought it was from not restarting correctly/unmounting
[01:40] <RantingHuman> Scunizi: I guess, I'd need other windows for it
[01:40] <Iceman_B^Ltop> I'm getting an error when I'm running ebox: (Error code: ssl_error_rx_unexpected_change_cipher)
[01:40] <b1n42y> stevetarot: test your memory like i said
[01:40] <Iceman_B^Ltop> and the interface seems all messed up
[01:40] <homercycles> can anyone recommend a good note-taking/organizing program for Ubuntu/GNOME, kind of similar to KJots (for use with Kontact PIM in KDE)?
[01:40] <Maior> dtchen_: so, I just umounted /dev/hda1, re-mkfs.ext3-ed on it, and re-mount-ed, and re-debootstrap-ed, and it worked...
[01:40] <Maior> dtchen_: cheers though!
[01:40] <b1n42y> homercycles: basket
[01:41] <homercycles> b1n42y: thanks. I'll look into that
[01:41] <MidtownNewbie> Scunizi: yeah, i'm pretty sure that fisk -l comes up with bubkes.  looks like i'm gonna have to toss it.
[01:41] <Scunizi> RantingHuman: ?  no.. once you split and move to the empty half then ^ac to get a shell prompt.. when creating the split remember that ^aS is with a capital S .. not a small s which will change the flow control
[01:41] <b1n42y> homercycles: thats kde but theres no probs in installing software made for kde into gnome
[01:41] <Scunizi> MidtownNewbie: good thing is they are cheap and getting cheaper every day :)
[01:41] <RantingHuman> Scunizi: ahhh, capital... :)
[01:42] <homercycles> b1n42y: I have one already, I think VirtualBox uses QT libs
[01:42] <Scunizi> RantingHuman: syntax.. syntax.. syntax  :)
[01:42] <MidtownNewbie> Scunizi: thanks anyway for your help
[01:42] <Scunizi> MidtownNewbie: wish I could have done more.. but you're welcome :)
[01:42] <RantingHuman> Scunizi: thanks, this is awesome :D
[01:43] <Scunizi> RantingHuman: It's like running two monitors.. once you do it . it's really hard to go back.
[01:43] <homercycles> b1n42y: I want it to organise all the little chunks of code I've accumulated over the years (unless you know of a better code organizer/snippets collection thing?)
[01:43] <IndyGunFreak> Scunizi: isnt that the truth.. (about 2 displays)
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: I used to for work. i find it excessive
[01:43] <Scunizi> RantingHuman: now install surfraw and from a terminal prompt type ... sr google <search term> and see what happens..
[01:43] <felixsulla> homercycles: snipt.net is pretty cool
[01:44] <IndyGunFreak> ActionParsnip: lol, blasphemy! :)
[01:44] <osiris> anyone set up a reverse proxy before ?
[01:44] <homercycles> felixsculla: thanks, that's good to know, too (but I'm mainly interested in offline programs)
[01:44] <harry_v> I hear alot about ubunto.Does ubunto have all the libs nessesary to prevent dependacyissues when installing rpms ?
[01:44] <LjL> harry_v: Ubuntu doesn't use RPMs.
[01:45] <IndyGunFreak> harry_v: first, its ubuntU.. and second, ubuntu doesn't use rpms
[01:45] <elad`> Which of these is an authentication method? http://pastebin.com/d7d922d6
[01:45] <osiris> ubuntu doesnt use rpms
[01:45] <LjL> !software > harry_v    (harry_v, see the private message from ubottu)
[01:45] <RantingHuman> Scunizi: I'd been using Terminator to do this, so far... guess I should have read screen's man page a bit more carefully :)
[01:45] <Scunizi> IndyGunFreak: I'm hooked but have a hard time getting my wife to give me a kitchen pass to replace my last bad one.. and ActionParsnip until you're dealing with multiple docs that you need to reference on one screen and do something on the other.. well.. there is no need.. or photo editing..
[01:45] <harry_v> what does it use
[01:45] <IndyGunFreak> harry_v: its based on debian
[01:45] <unop> !deb | harry_v
[01:45] <osiris> .debs
[01:45] <harry_v> okay
[01:45] <LjL> harry_v: APT, the Debian packaging system. please check the link i gave you.
[01:45] <Stupendoussteve> harry_v: .debs, and it has a package manager called apt that manages dependencies.
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: IndyGunFreak: i RDP to abput 9 servers at one time so 3 I had monitors. I get by now working from home with a single display on a laptop
[01:45] <harry_v> ive been using apt for 10 years now
[01:46] <Stupendoussteve> Then you should be familiar with it ;)
[01:46] <unop> hmm
[01:46] <Scunizi> RantingHuman: elinks for the terminal is the easiest for me for web browsing.. also mutt for email tied to gmail's imap
[01:46] <harry_v> very
[01:46] <RantingHuman> Scunizi: as for surfraw, it's opening my non-default browser... (opera)
[01:46] <IndyGunFreak> harry_v: then you should be fairly familiar w/ it
[01:46] <LjL> harry_v: ok, but APT wasn't originally intended to be used with RPMs
[01:46] <b1n42y> homercycles: ive been looking into note taking apps for my tablet pc basket wasnt it but it should be good for you alternativley google mind mapping, note organising linux... but i think youll like basket
[01:46] <LjL> harry_v: APT is intended to be used with Debian packages, and that's what Ubuntu employs
[01:46] <b1n42y> ok tennis time good luck all
[01:47] <Scunizi> RantingHuman: yea.. you can change the config to revert to terminal browsers if you want... fast search though.
[01:47] <stevetarot> what does Memtest86+ do?
[01:47] <Scunizi> ActionParsnip: so you've been there.. maybe I'll get over my A.D.D. with dual monitors some day too :)
[01:47] <homercycles> b1n42y: I considered Tomboy but it's just a bit too basic, I think
[01:47] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: sure its convenient, but for the price of the extra monitors I can go on a holiday to experience new cultures and broaden my horizons, which would you choose?
[01:47] <Stupendoussteve> stevetarot:  Tests the ram, not needed in most cases and is very time consuming
[01:47] <Scunizi> stevetarot: checks you ram for errors
[01:48] <stevetarot> thanks
[01:48] <stevetarot> yeah its taking forever
[01:48] <Scunizi> ActionParsnip: $79 us.. for a 17 inch.. all I really need for a secondary
[01:48] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: i can fly to amsterdam for 4 UD
[01:48] <Stupendoussteve> stevetarot: You only need to run it if you suspect your memory has issues, if you have never had a problem with the system then there's not much reason to use it
[01:48] <ActionParsnip> *USD
[01:48] <harry_v> using linux since the days of slackware
[01:49] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: so i'd rather get educatated than have some poxy monitor, life is too short dude, you need to get out of the house
[01:50] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: your pc and displays may be a billion times awesome than mine but im sure as hell ive seen a lot more of the world
[01:50] <CaptainMorgan> !wan
[01:50] <CaptainMorgan> anyone know how to spit out my external wan address from the command line?
[01:50] <Iceman_B^Ltop> ActionParsnip: if you can fly to Amsterdam, do so
[01:51] <Iceman_B^Ltop> it's a bit chilly here, but I'll buy you a beer =)
[01:51] <gareth_> hello all was wondering if any one could give me pointers on setting up a samba share for a virtual machine running in vmware server to accesse
[01:51] <felixsulla> What is a program that tracks how much time you spend in each application?
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> Iceman_B^Ltop: i have as well as a tonne of other places
[01:51] <Iceman_B^Ltop> nice, I want to be able to do that as well
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> Iceman_B^Ltop: thing is I probably actually need a few displays more but i choose to sacrifiice to get myself around the world
[01:52] <MightyTweek> CaptainMorgan: What do you mean by your external WAN address exactly? Are you talking about the IP address of your router?
[01:52] <Stupendoussteve> A large display isn't much use when traveling anyway ;)
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> Iceman_B^Ltop: my whole job is connecting to servers in america from the UK
[01:52] <CaptainMorgan> MightyTweek, yea
[01:53] <Iceman_B^Ltop> ActionParsnip: hmm, well, I'm confused. I'd say a monitor costs less than the average ticket that will fly you across the globe, no ?
[01:53] <Iceman_B^Ltop> also ontopic: "sudo aptitude install" says there are 10 updates, how do I install them ?
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> Iceman_B^Ltop: wel then im saving. but no a monitor cost way more than a ticket
[01:54] <Iceman_B^Ltop> ...what kind of monitor are we talking here?
[01:54] <sladjan> irc.freenode.net
[01:54] <Iceman_B^Ltop> how much is you average 20" lcd ?
[01:54] <ActionParsnip> Iceman_B^Ltop: i can fly to germany for about 10 GBP or 17 USD
[01:54] <CaptainMorgan> MightyTweek, any idea?
[01:55] <Stupendoussteve> Fly to Los Angeles, it'll cost a lot more than a monitor, and cover more of the world
[01:55] <MightyTweek> CaptainMorgan: I don't know of a simple way to do that without say, having some web host report back what IP your request came from
[01:55] <unr3a1> hey all
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> Iceman_B^Ltop: pretty cheap, I can experience gemany or buy a monitor and sit in my office, choices eh...
[01:55] <unr3a1> how do I change the name of my computer?
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> !hostname | unr3a1
[01:55] <Royall> Is it possible to force a device/directory to stop being busy?
[01:55] <Iceman_B^Ltop> ActionParsnip: wow, that's a bargain...
[01:55] <unr3a1> thank you
[01:55] <Royall> or force the deletion of a directory that is busy
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> Iceman_B^Ltop: yep
[01:55] <uptill3> Royall: kill the process that's holding it open
[01:56] <unop> CaptainMorgan,  wget -q -O - http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp
[01:56] <Royall> uptill3: what if I don't know what that process is
[01:56] <hmw> Royall - you can try to find out, which program has files open on that partition with lsof
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> Iceman_B^Ltop: www.ryanair.com
[01:56] <uptill3> ^^^
[01:56] <n8tuser> CaptainMorgan -> you are in this irc, type  /whois  CaptainMorgan
[01:56] <Iceman_B^Ltop> ah, yes. shaem they dont fly from holland anymore, I want to go to Riga :(
[01:56] <Royall> lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuseblk file system /media/[re]drive
[01:57] <ActionParsnip> Royall: see where its busy and kill the processes that are accessing it
[01:57] <stevetarot> what is Intrepid Ibex?
[01:57] <ActionParsnip> Royall: lsof | grep /mount/point
[01:57] <n8tuser> Royall -> lsof -i /dev/sda1
[01:57] <unop> stevetarot, a release of ubuntu
[01:57] <prince_jammys> Royall: use fuser
[01:57] <funkycat90210__> it takes 37 secs to reboot my flash-based ubuntu server
[01:57] <stevetarot> is that 8.10?
[01:57] <unop> !intrepid > stevetarot
[01:57] <Iceman_B^Ltop> anyone know how to install all the updates for my system from the terminal ?
[01:57] <unop> stevetarot, yes
[01:57] <homercycles> b1n42y: I found a nice and simple, light-weight, one written using GTK called "notecase" which has a nice and simple node/sub-node thingy on the left and a textarea to the right. Just what I wanted. Your suggestion of basket lead me to this, so thanks
[01:57] <Royall> Cannot stat /media/[re]drive: Input/output error
[01:58] <CaptainMorgan> n8tuser, wth? if I wanted to do that I would- I helping someone remotely through their use of a terminal
[01:58] <yoyoned1> Iceman_B sudo aptitude update;sudo aptitude   dist-upgrade
[01:59] <unop> homercycles, if you want a wiki on your desktop - there's zim - it's also nice and simple, quite lightweight too
[01:59] <n8tuser> CaptainMorgan -> hey look you were not clear on your question, I said if it was you here chatting on irc, you do that command,
[01:59] <CaptainMorgan> n8tuser, sorry, but I was pretty clear- I said, "from the command line"
[01:59] <Stupendoussteve> CaptainMorgan: wget is run from the command line
[01:59] <CaptainMorgan> n8tuser, of course I could use that from here, but that wasn't the question
[01:59] <CaptainMorgan> Stupendoussteve, thank you, that worked fine, cheers
[02:00] <prince_jammys> Royall: sudo fuser -vki '/media/[re]drive'
[02:00] <BSG> I'm having a problem with my eee pc 900, the webcam, and flash in eeebuntu.  You can read more specifically about my problem here.  Thanks,  http://forum.eeebuntu.org/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1794
[02:00] <homercycles> unop: hmmm, your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter... that looks good, too :-)
[02:00] <Roy_M> hi, I just inserted an unformatted micro sd card into my machine. How do I tell which device it is in /dev/ as there are hundreds
[02:00] <stevetarot> is it better to install nvidia drivers via virtual package or download from nvidia's website
[02:00] <Royall> prince_jammys: Cannot stat /media/[re]drive: Input/output error
[02:00] <prince_jammys> Royall: hm. that's not nice
[02:00] <Stupendoussteve> CaptainMorgan: I didn't notice you were upset about the whois, or whatever. Thought it was your other question. Disregard me :D
[02:00] <Royall> that it isn't
[02:01] <bobg> Question:  Website on Firefox wants me to download "Flash Player"  Is it compatable or just for Windoze?
[02:01] <Iceman_B^Ltop> yoyoned1: thanks
[02:01] <unop> homercycles, i'm against the idea of newsletters :)
[02:01] <Stupendoussteve> bobg: There is flashplayer for linux
[02:01] <LjL> !flash > bobg    (bobg, see the private message from ubottu)
[02:01] <yoyoned1> Roy_M: look in the  last few lines of dmesg
[02:01] <CaptainMorgan> Stupendoussteve, not upset, don't take it the wrong way, wget is sufficient, thank you.
[02:01] <homercycles> unop: one that isn't based on dead-tree, of course
[02:02] <bobg> LjL: where can I find it?
[02:02] <ActionParsnip> !flash | bobg
[02:02] <Iceman_B^Ltop> I think ebox broke my machine's internet connectin
[02:02] <Royall> Isn't there a way to "killall using xxxxx directory"?
[02:02] <the_rar> how can i change the text terminal screen settings?
[02:02] <ActionParsnip> Royall: ps -ef | grep <directory>
[02:02] <Akuma> is there any way to specify on the command line which workspace I want my application to execute on?
[02:03] <Akuma> in gnome
[02:03] <funkycat90210> what's the best way to manage iptables on an ubuntu server? i just want to set 'em then have the rules load up ubon boot
[02:03] <ActionParsnip> funkycat90210: there is no best
[02:03] <prince_jammys> Royall: the command i gave does it
[02:03] <yoyoned1> the_rar: what specificlly do you want to change
[02:03] <fearful> the_rar, right click inside the terminal and go to Profiles > Profile Preferences
[02:03] <ActionParsnip> !iptables | funkycat90210
[02:03] <prince_jammys> Royall: does exactly that
[02:03] <Royall> Neither worked
[02:03] <n8tuser> funkycat90210 -> iptables-save  ?
[02:03] <stevetarot> do i have to be online to install a virtual package in ubuntu shell?
[02:03] <Royall> Well actually
[02:04] <funkycat90210> ActionParsnip: on centos/redhat, which is what i come from, they provide a neat /etc/init.d script that saves the state upon iptables save, then those are applied at boot
[02:04] <ActionParsnip> !firestarter | funkycat90210
[02:04] <funkycat90210> yeah iptables-save
[02:04] <Royall> ActionParsnip's one didn't bring up an error
[02:04] <Roy_M> yoyoned1, thanks, I am getting a few funny error messages like "sd 9:0:0:1: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery"
[02:04] <Royall> But I still can't delete the directory
[02:04] <Royall> rmdir: failed to remove `/media/[re]drive': Device or resource busy
[02:04] <the_rar> yoyoned1, the terminal 'outside' of the X session.. i want smaller chars
[02:04] <Royall> Even after te ps -ef
[02:04] <funkycat90210> aptitude search doesnt show iptables-save
[02:04] <ActionParsnip> funkycat90210: one you configure iptables it sticks
[02:04] <oDesk> hello, i'm using lynx and there is form with <button> tag.. it's not clickable.. how i submit the form ?
[02:05] <funkycat90210> oh i have iptables-save already
[02:05] <yoyoned1> the_rar: the options you need to set are at boot time.   add something like "vga=773" to the  end of the kernel line in grub
[02:05] <oDesk> i dont seem to find a help from google
[02:05] <unop> Akuma,  have a look at wmctrl
[02:05] <homercycles> unop: yep, zim is perfection itself. Where has it been all my life. thank you again :-)
[02:05] <char00les> can some one help me out and explain why this word is highlighted when i am on the terminal (screenshot http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/9963/screenshothelp.png)?
[02:05] <Akuma> unop:
[02:05] <Akuma> ok
[02:05] <Akuma> oops
[02:06] <ActionParsnip> Royall: sudo umount /[re]drive
[02:06] <Royall> -_- that seems to have done it

[02:07] <Royall> Now I'm plugging back in the actual external
[02:07] <ActionParsnip> Royall: you need to umount the mount oint first]
[02:07] <bobg> Ubottu: There is a warning about AMD.  I have an AMD chip
[02:07] <yoyoned1> the_rar: http://wiki.antlinux.com/pmwiki.php?n=HowTos.VgaModes
[02:07] <Pici> bobg: ubottu is a bot
[02:07] <Royall> It keeps mounting as _[re]drive
[02:07] <ActionParsnip> bobg: i use only amd
[02:07] <Royall> reallt annoying
[02:07] <the_rar> yoyoned1, thank you.
[02:07] <ActionParsnip> Royall: whatever, sudo umount it
[02:08] <_ryker> clear
[02:08] <ActionParsnip> bobg: whats this warning about amd chips?
[02:08] <_ryker> whoops lol
[02:08] <Royall> ActionParsnip: Ok I got it mounted as [re]drive
[02:08] <Royall> thanks y'all
[02:08] <_ryker> hey guys, my router assigns my computer an ip, but i need it to assign the same ip every time, any ideas?
[02:08] <oDesk> um.. any possible answer or it's not possible ?
[02:09] <ActionParsnip> _ryker: you can set static ip in /etc/network/interfacses
[02:09] <MightyTweek> char00les: It's because your .bashrc file has an alias in it to make "ls" color code directory entries by their type
[02:09] <unop> Akuma,  have a look at the script at the bottom of this page - http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=Keyboard_shortcuts#Using_wmctrl
[02:09] <G87> how's everyone doing?
[02:09] <_ryker> ActionParsnip: tried that, then the networking didn't work O.o
[02:09] <bazhang> oDesk, its java?
[02:09] <oDesk> no php website
[02:10] <ActionParsnip> _ryker: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/
[02:10] <oDesk> bazhang: lynx will not render the [BUTTON]
[02:10] <ThePass> Ups :)
[02:10] <Akuma> unop: thanks, I don't think it'll work though... I'm using compiz
[02:10] <n8tuser> _ryker -> pretty much should be same in the next acquisition, look for the leases in /var/lib/dhcp
[02:10] <Akuma> I did wmctrl -d,  and it only displays one desktop
[02:11] <donavan01> anyone know if doing a minimal install will include the wifi drivers?
[02:11] <unop> Akuma, ahh - guess you'll have to ask the compiz folks then
[02:11] <Akuma> which I think is devided in 4 given its resolution: 4096x600

[02:12] <roku> Hey, I need some help guys.  I just installed ubuntu 8.04 on to my friends PC, and I'm having to boot with the "noapic" option.
[02:12] <stevetarot> when installing nvidia video driver do I install it from  user or root?
[02:12] <fearful> stevetarot, root
[02:12] <sebsebseb> roku: noapic option????????  sounds a little familur
[02:13] <roku> But once the ubuntu bar finishes loading, it comes to a black screen saying "busybox v1.1.3 blah blah, (initramfs)"
[02:13] <stevetarot> noapic=off
[02:13] <stevetarot> wait nevermind
[02:13] <sebsebseb> roku: you installed with Wubi?
[02:13] <roku> Eh...  No?
[02:13] <sebsebseb> !busybox
[02:14] <sebsebseb> roku: how much RAM?
[02:14] <sebsebseb> roku: how old is the computeR?
[02:14] <unop> donavan01, probably not
[02:14] <roku> I just Not sure...
[02:14] <roku> I'm not sure.
[02:14] <Iceman_B^Ltop> does anyone know if it's possible to remove eBox and have my system return to its original configuration before I installed ebox?
[02:14] <roku> I know the computer can NOT handle Windows 7 or vista.
[02:14] <stevetarot> anyone familiar with installing nvidia drivers via shell? its wanting to install the nvidia-kernel is that ok?
[02:14] <roku> But it ran XP great.
[02:14] <Iceman_B^Ltop> it broke my network configurration
[02:14] <sebsebseb> roku: sounds like maybe the issue this American woman had, but that was Grub issue
[02:14] <_ryker> n8tuser: the files in there are empty
[02:15] <_ryker> ActionParsnip: nope, not helping
[02:15] <roku> ?
[02:15] <donavan01> unop: yeah thats what I figured thanks
[02:16] <sebsebseb> roku:  noapic  sounds familur
[02:16] <sebsebseb> roku:  and you said that was Grub?
[02:16] <roku> Grub?
[02:16] <sebsebseb> roku: the boot loader
[02:16] <sebsebseb> roku: which boots up Ubuntu
[02:16] <sebsebseb> !grub
[02:16] <pestilence> flashplugin-nonfree crashes like crazy for me in intreped amd64...is this a common problem?
[02:16] <n8tuser> _ryker -> files in /var/lib/dhcp3 ?
[02:16] <Pici> roku: What made you add the noapic option?
[02:17] <sebsebseb> Pici: ah ha you know what noapic is?  what is it?
[02:17] <_ryker> yeah, n8tuser
[02:17] <roku> When it boots, it comes to a black screen with text that suggests it.
[02:17] <n8tuser> _ryker -> are you using dhclient ?
[02:17] <_ryker> eh? n8tuser
[02:17] <Pici> sebsebseb: Its a compatibility option for booting the kernel.
[02:17] <azlon> ok, i used mkisofs to create an ISO of my system... what command do i use to extract the ISO back to my computer when i need to restore?
[02:17] <BSG> I'm having a problem with my eee pc 900, the webcam, and flash in eeebuntu.  You can read more specifically about my problem here.  Thanks,  http://forum.eeebuntu.org/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1794
[02:17] <n8tuser> _ryker -> how are you acquiring your ip address now ?
[02:18] <donavan01> let me ask this anyone know a good build that will work on my EEE ... I tied easypeasy but I hated what ever the desktop manager was that they used ... I want a stripped down distro but still have the basic stuff  like drivers and  a decent desktop manger
[02:18] <n8tuser> azlon -> mount it and then copy it over
[02:18] <_ryker> okay heres what i did, it was working fine with network manager, but i didnt want to use network manager. so i removed it, and set up my connection in /etc/network/interfaces, n8tuser
[02:18] <pestilence> azlon: you can mount it using "sudo mount -o loop filename.iso"
[02:18] <azlon> btw, i use -split-output... how can i ensure all the splits are extracted back to my HDD?
[02:18] <funkycat90210> well i have iptables-restore in rc.local, but since bootup time is 37 secs it should be ok
[02:18] <n8tuser> _ryker -> can you post your interfaces file?
[02:18] <azlon> pestilence: can i do that if it is split? im not sure what -o loop does
[02:18] <BSG> donavan01: eeebuntu is great
[02:18] <BSG> I love it
[02:19] <h4x0r> depend what system are you are usning
[02:19] <BSG> I'm using that as we speak
[02:19] <h4x0r> why do you need to know your iop
[02:19] <h4x0r> ip
[02:19] <pestilence> azlon: -o loop tells it to mount it using the loopback device, it just tells mount that the iso isn't a physical device
[02:19] <h4x0r> are you tring to connecyt to anothger sysea\
[02:19] <pestilence> azlon: so, it depends on what you mean by split
[02:19] <n8tuser> azlon -> if you split the output to diff files, then you wont be  able to mount it correctly
[02:19] <Pici> roku: Try changing the 'noapic' option to 'all_generic_ide' and try again.
[02:19] <donavan01> BSG: will it work fine on a 900A (got the atom cpu but only 1 gb SSD)
[02:20] <BSG> It'll work better for you than it does for me
[02:20] <donavan01> BSD sorry 4gb
[02:20] <BSG> I'm on the first gen 900
[02:20] <azlon> n8tuser: i couldnt use one single file becuase it would be larger than 4gb and the external drive is FAT32
[02:20] <BSG> G
[02:20] <BSG> not D
[02:20] <roku> trying it.
[02:20] <roku> Nope.
[02:20] <donavan01> BSG ... my bad
[02:21] <pestilence> azlon: why are you backing up to an iso?
[02:21] <_ryker> n8tuser: http://pastebin.ca/1349251
[02:21] <pestilence> azlon: that seems like a unsustainable backup solution
[02:21] <roku> "Starting up ...  [    35.109324] ..MP-BIOS bug : 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
[02:21] <azlon> pestilence: this is what i used for a test: sudo mkisofs -split-output -input-charset default -l -o /media/WD\ Passport/backup.iso /media/WD\ Passport/misc
[02:21] <n8tuser> azlon then you should have to manage it more carefully
[02:21] <azlon> pestilence: what should i use?
[02:21] <donavan01> BSG  any recommendations on which variation to go with ?
[02:22] <Pici> roku: Okay, try doing: noapic nolapic    instead
[02:22] <roku> k.
[02:22] <BSG> The standard works great for me
[02:22] <Pici> roku: Is this a Dell?
[02:22] <BSG> But I'm not really familiar with the differences
[02:22] <BSG> You may want to do more research
[02:22] <n8tuser> _ryker -> you have a static address assignment so what is the issue?
[02:22] <BSG> Check their forums, its a common question I'm sure
[02:22] <BSG> Or the FAQ
[02:22] <roku> I'm not really sure.
[02:22] <pestilence> azlon: ah, so it creates multiple .iso's?  (btw, you should test reading from your backups now, not when you are in need of them)
[02:22] <_ryker> n8tuser: the connection is not working anymore, even though it should, and it worked fine under nm
[02:22] <roku> Some guy named corky made it, pretty much.
[02:22] <wolfwalker> I have a file I want to copy to usr/share/xsessions.  I'm a know-nothing.  How do I copy it under the proper authority?
[02:23] <jediwork_> i was runnning ubuntu just fine on this laptop and for some reason the system started crashing / swaping like crazy a little while ago and after letting it run like that for 10-15 minutes i decided to just power down the machine. Now when i try to to boot, its trying to restore a hibernation state from before, but keeps failing and i have no idea how to force it to just boot up normally and disregard the hibernation info ... also 'safe mode'
[02:23] <wolfwalker> Running Ubuntu Hardy
[02:23] <pestilence> azlon: i highly recommend some utilization of "rsync"
[02:23] <roku> So...  I'm sure my friend is getting useless franken PCs and from a guy named Corky.
[02:23] <oDesk> seems no way to hit the [BUTTON] over lynx
[02:23] <azlon> pestilence: i am trying to test it now, but not sure how to read them :\
[02:23] <pestilence> azlon: because rsync can speed up subsequent backups dramatically
[02:23] <donavan01> BSG: I think I may just download all of them and see what they look like ... time consuming but at least im sure Ive got what I want
[02:23] <BSG> Right
[02:23] <roku> I mean...  I don't think people named corky can be trusted.
[02:23] <n8tuser> _ryker -> thats because you dont have the correct configs,  man iwconfig  to include the AP essid and whatever else is needed
[02:23] <azlon> pestilence: just search package manaager?
[02:23] <BSG> They all function differently, and you might not discover the differences until you get deeper into using them
[02:24] <pestilence> azlon: whereas if you make iso's, you will have to backup the entire drive everytime you want to update your backup
[02:24] <BSG> I might give them each a weak of use
[02:24] <pestilence> azlon: sudo aptitude install rsync
[02:24] <BSG> week, even
[02:24] <roku> Loading..

[02:25] <o0splitpaw0o> need a better chmod file permission option where I can both change the prefs the the directories, but there subfiles. Suggestions?
[02:25] <donavan01> BSG thanks for the assist
[02:25] <JosephLinkous> Hello, people of the internet
[02:25] <fearful> o0splitpaw0o, what are you using?
[02:26] <o0splitpaw0o> hello JosephLinkous
[02:26] <roku> Um...  damn.  Didn't work...
[02:26] <wolfwalker> How do you copy a file to usr/share/xsessions?  It says I don't have authority to.
[02:26] <BSG> No problem
[02:26] <pestilence> !sudo
[02:26] <fearful> wolfwalker, through the terminal or nautilus
[02:26] <felixsulla> What do you use to track how much time you spend in each application?
[02:26] <o0splitpaw0o> fearful: I migrating files over, and like to change the file permissions to the folders, & there contents with a quick command or need a option flag someone might know
[02:27] <wolfwalker> How do you copy it through the terminal?  I don't know much about command lines.
[02:27] <wolfwalker> I know append "sudo" to the first of the command
[02:27] <roku> "ata_id[6309] : main:  HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/.tmp-8-0' "
[02:27] <n8tuser> wolfwalker -> those are owned by root, so have the root priviledge via sudo
[02:27] <sancho21_> I use ubuntu 8.10. My Kate suddenly does not respond to keyboard.
[02:27] <roku> and... busybox is back.
[02:27] <fearful> o0splitpaw0o, sudo chmod +755 /
[02:27] <fearful> wolfwalker, try gksu nautilus on the terminal
[02:28] <fearful> wolfwalker, it will open nautilus as root
[02:28] <linny1> ActionParsnip:i went to bash with that line you gave me for unraring it was as simple as changing the -exec to -execdir :) thanks again
[02:28] <o0splitpaw0o> fearful: lesse...
[02:28] <o0splitpaw0o> fearful: thanks for responding quick btw
[02:28] <_ryker> n8tuser: still not functional, i set the essid, key, channel to auto, ap and is still not working
[02:28] <fearful> o0splitpaw0o, no problem hope it helps usually does for me
[02:28] <_ryker> doesn't even show the ap in iwconfig , n8tuser
[02:28] <n8tuser> _ryker -> post it again
[02:30] <_ryker> n8tuser: http://pastebin.ca/1349255
[02:30] <felixsulla> What do you use to track how much time you spend in each application?
[02:30] <linny1> felixsulla: a clock :) sorry i couldnt resist
[02:30] <BSG> wolfwalker I'm going to kindly suggest you go to the manual, because copying files is pretty basic
[02:30] <BSG> You should try to learn a little
[02:30] <Pici> roku: You may need to go through some of the options in this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[02:30] <felixsulla> linny1: And spend all that time reading those complicated hands..? Pff! No way :D
[02:31] <o0splitpaw0o> fearful: chmod: invalid mode: `+755
[02:31] <Iceman_B^Ltop> when I run "ps aux | grep apach"

[02:31] <Iceman_B^Ltop> what's going on ?

[02:31] <cwortman> hey what is a good dvd making program for Ubuntu. I want something close to iDVD for Mac or Nero Vision for Windows
[02:31] <sancho21_> Will Jaunty use Lenny?
[02:32] <cwortman> no
[02:32] <fearful> o0splitpaw0o, sudo chmod +777 /<folder>
[02:32] <n8tuser> _ryker  i dont think it looks right.. its something like  wireless-essid  xxxxx
[02:32] <h4x0r> watch with the space
[02:32] <lstarnes> sancho21_: iirc, ubuntu is based off of debian unstable
[02:32] <sebsebseb> sancho21_: no, but  Ubuntu's  repo is based on Debian's I think
[02:32] <cwortman> jaunty uses 2.26.8 kernel from the debian kernel main lost
[02:32] <o0splitpaw0o> putting the + on the
[02:32] <linny1> cwortman: i use k3b im happy with it
[02:32]  * o0splitpaw0o facepalms
[02:33] <cwortman> k3b has a cool DVD menu making tool linnyl?
[02:33] <fearful> o0splitpaw0o, ?
[02:33] <JosephLinkous> Question: I want to reinstall Ubuntu Server 8.10 because I may have messed up a few files, but I don't have access to a monitor (only SSH). Is there a command to revert back or something using SSH and the CD?
[02:33] <lstarnes> Iceman_B^Ltop: they're likely forks of the main apache2 process
[02:33] <o0splitpaw0o> fearful: removed '+' no issues
[02:34] <Iceman_B^Ltop> ok
[02:34] <BSG> I'm having a problem with my eee pc 900, the webcam, and flash in eeebuntu.  You can read more specifically about my problem here.  Thanks,  http://forum.eeebuntu.org/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1794
[02:34] <fearful> o0splitpaw0o, you sure you doing it correctly it has to work..
[02:34] <Iceman_B^Ltop> well, I did just install ebox
[02:34]  * o0splitpaw0o checking if it works now..
[02:34] <Iceman_B^Ltop> but, it installed WAAAAAAAAAY more than I wanted
[02:34] <fearful> o0splitpaw0o, is it an external device?
[02:34] <quetzal-> hello, how do i view what files belong to some installed package?
[02:34] <Iceman_B^Ltop> I just wanted a webUI to check my system status...
[02:34] <cwortman> JosephLinkous, Linux is not Windows and there is no need to re-install, just run a software update and apt will fix whatever is messed up
[02:34] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: if you know what files you messed up, you can just reinstall those packages
[02:35] <o0splitpaw0o> fearful: I'm ssh'd into a machine yea .
[02:35] <roku> I am REALLY not sure what to do.
[02:35] <o0splitpaw0o> I can try it locally
[02:35] <fearful> o0splitpaw0o, yes try it
[02:35] <snlemons> anyone here willing to help me get yoxos' version of Eclipse Ganymede working on 64bit Intrepid?
[02:35] <fearful> o0splitpaw0o, I don't think it'll work if you are SSH'd because you don't own the folder
[02:35] <cwortman> sudo apt-get -f should go through and see if everything is fixed
[02:35] <_ryker> n8tuser: i think i have to edit resolv.conf
[02:36] <cwortman> it will download the files and fix them if need be
[02:36] <JosephLinkous> Well, I was trying to get the apt-get stuff working. It kept giving me a (101 Network is Unavailable) error when using it, so I followed several sets of instructions given in various forums to resolve the problem. Unfortunately, I didn't make backups first, and now I have a buncha files which are probably in a half- or non-working state
[02:36] <h4x0r> depends what you want to do
[02:36] <MIrrorIMage> whois _saw
[02:36] <JosephLinkous> resolv.conf, hosts.conf, uh, blacklisted ipv6, some other stuff
[02:36] <n8tuser> _ryker -> see step 5 on this  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide
[02:36] <redvamp128> BSG:  I don't know if this helps or not-- but in the past -- a person fixed a stickam issue by -- uninstalling flash 10 and installing version 9 from a prior release. (the problem he had is that he could not engage the camera using the flash 10 but under 9 it let him do that option)
[02:36] <J-_> I'm currently trying to dualboot in 2 Ubuntu distros, I've set my boot flag to one partition to this partition, I didn't set a boot flag to the other one. How can I get grub to notice the other partition so I can boot that one too?
[02:36]  * cwortman loves ubuntu server
[02:37] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: those are all relatively easy to fix :-)
[02:37] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: i'd argue it's easier to fix those than to reinstall...
[02:37] <JosephLinkous> Freaking sweet
[02:37] <n8tuser> _ryker -> rather see step 4 on this  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide
[02:37] <J-_> !grub
[02:37] <JosephLinkous> It would be nice to put those back to how they were originally, but I don't know how. Advise?
[02:37] <o0splitpaw0o> fearful: not locally either.
[02:37] <fearful> o0splitpaw0o, is it ubuntu?
[02:38] <fearful> o0splitpaw0o, the machine your getting the files from
[02:38] <o0splitpaw0o> trying this chmod 755 -R
[02:38] <stevetarot> do the ops here work for ubuntu
[02:38] <snlemons> is there a 32bit JDK for the AMD64 version of Intrepid? I found the 32bit JRE, but no JDK.
[02:38] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: well, resolv.conf should be regenerated every time you start the network if you are using dhcp
[02:38] <JosephLinkous> Oh crap, I forgot about the history command. I could get a nice list together of everything I vi'd
[02:38] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: yea, post your history to the pastebin :)
[02:38] <oDesk> quit
[02:38] <JosephLinkous> I think one of the instructions said to make a change somewhere to prevent resolv.conf from being regenerated 'cause they wanted to set it manually
[02:39] <cwortman> j-_ I find this bootloader to be years ahead of grub and it has replaced grub for me http://chameleon.osx86.hu/
[02:39] <taylor_> Hello I have a question. Recently I must have done something because in Ubuntu I can no longer view my network applet, and most of the other applets anymore. I am sort of frustrated because that was the only real good net applet I had for my wireless networks. Help would be much apreciated thanks :)
[02:39] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: oh.  well that's not a big deal if you can resolve names.
[02:39] <Xamusk> hmw, nothing like another kernel panic to brighten my day
[02:39] <xun911> hello, very often that i couldn't select which window to type using mouse(keyboad focus got stuck on the previous window), does anyone else experience this problem?
[02:40] <cwortman> You can use it for just dual booting 2 versions of Linux and Windows if need be and it is all pretty amazing
[02:40] <hmw> Xamusk - makes it hard to decide, if I should congratulate you.
[02:40] <o0splitpaw0o> fearful:  That worked! chmod -R 755 /direcory
[02:40] <Xamusk> hmw, this time I had the terminals tailing kern.log and messages in /var/log... nothing there
[02:40] <fearful> o0splitpaw0o, nice :p
[02:40] <redvamp128> taylor_:  right click on the task bar -- choose add to panel -- then choose the Notification Area (that is probably what you closed/removed)
[02:40] <Xamusk> hmw, also I ran memtest86... nothing there either
[02:40] <Scunizi> xun911: nope.. but maybe compiz is interfearing  turn it off and test
[02:41] <huwenfeng> does anyone using Ubuntu on HP 6530s?
[02:41] <xun911> Scunizi, the only way i could fix it is to restart xorg, but let me try reload compiz now
[02:41] <hmw> Xamusk - I meant you to look at the logs for a longer period of time. Maybe the lockups are caused by some apparently innocent program. With the tails, you might be able to figure out, who is the evildoer.
[02:41] <Akuma> how would I go about sudoing myself permanently (kind of like su for other distros)
[02:41] <huwenfeng> i am using Ubuntu 8.04 in Hp 6530s, and i have some problem with my video card GMA 4500.
[02:41] <_ryker> n8tuser: im making these changes, but its still not working at all. i dont understand, it really should work
[02:41] <fearful> Akuma, su
[02:41] <Akuma> su gives you root?
[02:41] <bazhang> Akuma, very bad idea
[02:41] <fearful> Akuma, yes sir.
[02:41] <osiris> stands for switch user
[02:41] <fearful> bazhang, Akuma that is true also
[02:42] <huwenfeng> when i watch movie , or run HardWare test, the system just become black, and no response!
[02:42] <JosephLinkous> pestilence: http://www.mibbit.com/pb/zEUTly
[02:42] <osiris> you can do su joe, if you know joes password
[02:42] <jrib> !sudo > Akuma
[02:42] <Akuma> hmm, authentication failure...
[02:42] <JosephLinkous> Sorry, I had to figure out what this 'pastebin' was
[02:42] <_ryker> for whatever reason, n8tuser, it always says not associated for the access point
[02:42] <Xamusk> hmw, the only thing I find unusual there are some messages like: CE: hpet increasing min_delta_ns to 22500 nsec
[02:42] <hmw> Xamusk - it's always a big problem, if a failure happens that rarely. You might consider reinstalling.
[02:42] <xun911> Scunizi, that does not seem to fix the problem. i think it's xorg, but I hate to having to restart all my apps because of this. it happens so often
[02:42] <taylor_> redvamp128: thanks so very much! that worked ;)
[02:42] <taylor_> redvamp128: thanks so very much! that worked ;)
[02:42] <hmw> hpet
[02:43] <Xamusk> hmw, I am considering... I'm also considering a 64-bit version, to avoid having to use -server kernel to address 4GB of RAM
[02:43] <redvamp128> taylor_:  most people seem to want to call that network monitor and not notification area.
[02:43] <JosephLinkous> pestilence: As you can tell, I went vi crazy and tried going into everything I could find
[02:43] <taylor_> yes. well anyways, thank you
[02:44] <wizard23> alright, who knows about fixing sound problems in ubuntu 8.10?
[02:44] <test_> mas n tem revolta nao, vc me ensinou milhoes de coisas
[02:44] <test_> ter saudade ate q eh bom é melhor q caminhar sozinho
[02:44] <snlemons> is there a 32bit JDK for the AMD64 version of Intrepid? I found the 32bit JRE (ia32), but no JDK.

[02:45] <Xamusk> hmw, I suspect the wireless driver... I hate those crappy broadcom chips and the drivers are never the same from one release to the other
[02:45] <huwenfeng> can i upgrade my 8.04 to 8.10 from hard disk?
[02:45] <deniz> how do you mark a thread as solved in ubuntuforums?
[02:45] <huwenfeng> i do not get a CDROM
[02:45] <Flannel> !upgrade | huwenfeng
[02:45] <test_> tenho um sonho em minhas maos, amanhã sera um novo dia, certamente eu vou ser mais
[02:45] <wizard23> i just ran some automatic media updates on 8.10, restarted my computer, and now not only do i have no sound, all my sound controls are gone too
[02:45] <test_> feliz
[02:45] <hmw> Xamusk: I gave up on wireless with ubuntu. My Fedora handles all my USB wireless devices without problems.
[02:45] <wizard23> last time i upgraded and lost sound, the pcm was just set too low, however, it is now only pcm that is in my volume control settings
[02:46] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: so what doesn't work?
[02:46] <Akuma> jrib: Thanks, that helped
[02:46] <Betus> !br
[02:46] <azlon_> pestilence: hey, system crashed... can you past that line i told you about earlier? the mkisofs line?
[02:46] <pestilence> azlon_: ha, sure.
[02:46] <Xamusk> hmw, my acer was wonderful, but with an intel wifi card... I've had another laptop with broadcom drivers that gave me trouble, but it worked eventually, even with experimental drivers at the time
[02:46] <MidtownNewbie> Hey, has anyone had any success at getting an Intel 845G chipset working with Ubuntu 8.04 or 8.10?
[02:46] <pestilence> azlon_: sudo mkisofs -split-output -input-charset default -l -o /media/WD\  Passport/backup.iso /media/WD\ Passport/misc
[02:47] <ubuntu4life> what is the gs program good for?
[02:47] <Nasra> join #ubuntu-espanol
[02:47] <JosephLinkous> I need to be able to use apt-get so I can install BOINC (or whatever other stuff I need), but I keep getting connection errors
[02:47] <azlon_> thanks!
[02:47] <azlon_> pestilence: you told me to download rsync, right?
[02:47] <redvamp128> Nasra:  don't you mean #ubuntu-es ?
[02:47] <Nasra> thats why
[02:47] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: ok...but you are able to ssh into the machine?
[02:47] <Nasra> thanks alot
[02:47] <JosephLinkous> Yep
[02:47] <JosephLinkous> At least on LAN
[02:47] <pestilence> azlon_: yes
[02:48] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: sounds like resolv.conf is still broken
[02:48] <JosephLinkous> pestilence: Do you have any linux ducttape?
[02:49] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: does nslookup security.ubuntu.com return anything?
[02:49] <chilli0> hello al or some reason pidgion doesnt connect to msn it just takes for ever
[02:49] <JosephLinkous> pestilence: Non-authoritative answer: Name:   security.ubuntu.com Address: 91.189.88.37
[02:49] <azlon_> pestilence: if i wanted to make my current file system a bootable ISO, how could i get the boot.bin?
[02:50] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: that's weird.  what server are you using in /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[02:50] <pestilence> azlon_: don't know the answer to that.
[02:50] <wizard23> alright apparently alsa got upgraded and took over my system
[02:50] <pestilence> i suspect you have to build one yourself
[02:50] <wizard23> the only problem is it doesn't work
[02:51] <wizard23> anyone had this problem?
[02:51] <wizard23> ideas?
[02:51] <JosephLinkous> pestilence: which server? That file's full of domain names
[02:51] <pestilence> azlon_: or you might be able to steal one from a ubuntu iso
[02:51] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: paste it into pastebin
[02:52] <JosephLinkous> pestilence: http://www.mibbit.com/pb/PhBvTc
[02:52] <akuwa> Sorry, I'm new at this; am I in the wrong place?

[02:52] <fearful> akuwa, what do you want to ask?
[02:52] <fearful> akuwa, this is the ubuntu support channel.
[02:53] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: you have no sources for ubuntu.
[02:53] <linny1> akuwa: wrong place for what ?
[02:53] <JosephLinkous> pestilence: Aha.
[02:53] <akuwa> I'm having an issue with the installation that I haven't seen specifically anywhere on the forums, FAQ, etc.
[02:53] <fearful> akuwa, state the problem and we'll see if we can help we'll try our best
[02:53] <MIrrorIMage> Akuma: which installation?
[02:54] <linny1> akuwa: tell us all you can an we will try to help
[02:54] <fearful> MIrrorIMage, akuwa*
[02:54] <mib_kpr2u3rw> does anyone know how to adjust the global settings in rtorrent?
[02:54] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: try adding deb  http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/ intrepid main restricted universe multiverse
[02:54] <MIrrorIMage> akuwa: which installation?
[02:54] <akuwa> Ah, it's the Ubuntu 8.1 Alt i386 cd

[02:54] <zc00gii> I just restored my ipod touch, and now it has a different RSA key and it doesn't want to connect, anyone know how to clear the RSA key cache or something of that sort?
[02:54] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: then sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
[02:54] <ubuntu4life> akuwa, 8.1 ?
[02:54] <fixerofthings> may i ask a general linux question?
[02:54] <fearful> akuwa, do you mean 8.10?
[02:54] <azlon_> how can i see how much space is remaining on my HDD?
[02:54] <pestilence> azlon_: df -h
[02:54] <ubuntu4life> azlon, df

[02:55] <redvamp128> fixerofthings:  you could try lxde or even xubuntu (xfce)
[02:55] <pestilence> fixerofthings: xubuntu?
[02:55] <fearful> akuwa, what's the problem you are experiencing?

[02:56] <akuwa> The installation gets up to 'Starting up the partitioner' and sits at 50% unmoving.
[02:56] <linny1> fixerofthings:#crunchbang on freenode

[02:57] <Guest71966> hello guys
[02:57] <akuwa> Oh yes, almost an hour.
[02:57] <JosephLinkous> pestilence: http://www.mibbit.com/pb/S5NBev  tell me if that looks right. There's plenty more errors before the beginning, but that's as far back as putty goes

[02:58] <MIrrorIMage> akuma: sorry for the typo. the message was meant for akuwa
[02:58] <Akuma> Oh ok ;)
[02:58] <linny1> sorry peeps just trying to advise a fellow user
[02:58] <mib_kpr2u3rw> How to adjust the global settings in rtorrent?
[02:58] <Iceman_B^Ltop> mib_kpr2u3rw: check the rtorrent pages, there's a example config file there
[02:59] <Iceman_B^Ltop> plug that into your home dir and rename it to .rtorrent.rc
[02:59] <sudo> why can totem play every .flv file i downloaded in windows and none of the ones i dl'ed in linux?
[02:59] <Guest71966> please, i am using the command passwd but it gives me just the message password updated successfully
[02:59] <fearful> akuwa, I really don't know what to suggest I need more information like errors, but I understand it won't give you any
[03:00] <Guest71966> do not ask for the new pwd
[03:00] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: hrmm.  that is after you modified sources.list?
[03:00] <JosephLinkous> pestilence: yes. I added it to the end of the list though, perhaps I needed to put it at the beginning, or somewhere else?

[03:00] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: no.  anywhere will do
[03:01] <akuwa> No, there are no errors, it just sits there. It doesn't seem to matter what I do. There are two hard drives, both are completely devoid of data, so I don't understand what's wrong with the partitioner.
[03:01] <mustangg> hey the chan.  Am I able to use the x86 rather than x86-64 version deb for an application that runs as a console application?
[03:01] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: did you do the "sudo aptitude update" step?
[03:01] <Guest71966> does anybody can help me?
[03:01] <azlon_> !dd

[03:02] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: ok.
[03:02] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: it's just weird that in that output, it is trying to get packages from us.archive.ubuntu.com, because you don't have that in your sources.list
[03:03] <Guest71966> anyone?
[03:03] <fearful> !justask | Guest71966

[03:11] <Extreme_b> hi guys, will like to make ask if anyone has encountered this before. i installed ubuntu server 8.04 on my ibm x3650. because my server is not connected to the internet, so i did not use the network to get the package files from repository. Therefore, i went online to download the packages and burn it on my CD. When i put the CD into the cd rom and tried the command on the command "cd /media/cdrom0" then i type in the "dir" .. but there isn't any files 
[03:11] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: ugh.  the flags are wrong.  so, the question becomes...how did you setup the network?
[03:11] <mib_s50thheo> unop: no such file or directory seems like ill need to mkdir
[03:11] <JosephLinkous> pestilence: auto-detect dhcp during the installer
[03:11] <pestilence> oh, and the netmask is wrong too.
[03:12] <unop> mib_s50thheo, are you sure you got the right name?  and that sounds like a file not a directory
[03:12] <jpadron> fearful, xchat is not cli, Im sshing to a remote PC and accessing from there
[03:12] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: have you rebooted the machine?

[03:12] <azlon_> do i have to create the gz before i run sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 | gzip > /dev/sdb1/mini9.gz?
[03:12] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: if not, try running "sudo ifdown eth0; sudo ifup eth0"
[03:12] <JosephLinkous> pestilence: I'll do that now. One moment
[03:13] <mib_s50thheo> unop: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/browser/trunk/rtorrent/doc/rtorrent.rc?rev=latest
[03:13] <mib_s50thheo> unop: it says to copy the file to that directory
[03:13] <keres> I am using both gedit or gvim to edit some .shader file, these files are plain text and will ONLY work if plain text. When i edit them and save them it converts the files into C source files, with the .shader extension still on it.

[03:13] <Jim1215> hi can anyone help me with bind9 startup? I just installed it and it works fine. but every time i need to use "/etc/init.d/bind9 start" to start it. how can I start this service automatically?
[03:13] <JosephLinkous> Someone actually told me not to even try using console-only, that I'd need a GUI. The whole reason I went to Ubuntu was quick responsiveness, and the console definitely gives that in spades
[03:13] <unop> mib_s50thheo, line #1 says  1 	# This is an example resource file for rTorrent. ...
[03:14] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: that's silly (the advise to not even try using console only)

[03:15] <keres> Gedit keeps reformatting some files into a non-usable format. Can this be stopped?
[03:15] <mib_s50thheo> unop: "Copy to 2 	# ~/.rtorrent.rc and enable/modify the options as needed."
[03:15] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: and obviously "ping 192.168.1.1" works, right?
[03:15] <JosephLinkous> pestilence: correct
[03:15] <mib_s50thheo> unop: it says to copy it to that
[03:15] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: is that a router?  or another computer?
[03:15] <mib_s50thheo> unop: im guessing its a folder
[03:16] <Iceman_B^Ltop> mib_s50thheo: once you have the file copied to your home folder, you need to edit it to suit your needs
[03:16] <JosephLinkous> pestilence: it's a router
[03:16] <keres> Gedit keeps reformatting some files into a non-usable format. Can this be stopped? It also happens with mousepad and gvim
[03:16] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: what kind?  i'm thinking it might not be giving out proper dhcp info.

[03:17] <azlon_> hrmm: ryan@mini-me:~$ sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 | gzip > /dev/sdb1/mini-me.gz
[03:17] <azlon_> bash: /dev/sdb1/mini-me.gz: Not a directory
[03:18] <keres> Gedit keeps reformatting some plain text files into C source code, making them unusable Can this be stopped? It also happens with mousepad and gvim
[03:18] <JosephLinkous> pestilence: You're right. I got it for my GF before we moved in together, and now we share it. I feel like the husband who gets a bowling ball for the wife, lol
[03:18] <cdm10> !repeat | keres
[03:18] <fearful> oshua86, ok great! I don't know what caused that tho :\
[03:18] <JosephLinkous> or a new set of clubs
[03:18] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: (i'm a little rusty on proper syntax"
[03:18] <mib_s50thheo> unop: ohh ok got you, i thought it would be more organized and everything, I'm new to linux, then again it seems like a lot of things in linux work well but the files  are kind of unorganized
[03:18] <Jim1215> !patience
[03:18] <keres> cdm10: I didn't repeat myself. I made my question more clear.
[03:18] <mib_s50thheo> !patience
[03:18] <JosephLinkous> pestilence: I can ping security.ubuntu.com now
[03:19] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: awesome.
[03:19] <JosephLinkous> Now lets try apt-get
[03:19] <etienne> hi all, I'm a new UBUNTU user and I have to say I'm loving it!!!
[03:19] <cdm10> keres: about 3 times.
[03:19] <Scunizi> yee ha
[03:19] <keres> cdm10: each time i had a more clear question
[03:19] <JosephLinkous> pestilence: apt-get update is now crunching away at files. Sweet
[03:19] <keres> cdm10: each were about 45 seconds apart, which here is like 2 screens worth of chat
[03:19] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: cool.  don't know why you have to add the gw by hand
[03:20] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: you can set it in /etc/network/interfaces so that it will persist after reboots
[03:20] <JosephLinkous> pestilence: I don't know. Will I need to add that every time? If so, is there a startup script I can add that command to?
[03:20] <akuwa> Is there a reason why a computer running Ubuntu 7.x couldn't run 8.10?
[03:20] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: but i think you may have to switch to static IP for that
[03:20] <storbeck> akuwa: Sure
[03:20] <cdm10> akuwa: I see things like this a lot... sometimes hardware is finicky like that :-/
[03:20] <JosephLinkous> pestilence: I think it might be set to static IP already
[03:21] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: ahh.  that probably explains it :)
[03:21] <cdm10> akuwa: the system requirements could also have changed, but they don't change much, so I'm guessing it's some driver incompatibility.
[03:21] <cdm10> akuwa: what doesn't work?
[03:21] <JosephLinkous> pestilence: Yeah...
[03:21] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: you just need to add the gateway info to that config file.  probably /etc/network/interfaces
[03:21] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: syntax is probably just  gateway 192.168.1.1
[03:21] <unop> Jim1215, sudo update-rc.d bind9 defaults
[03:21] <akuwa> It does not finish installing, it gets stuck at the Partitioning section.
[03:21] <pestilence> JosephLinkous: gtg.  good luck
[03:21] <Extreme_b> storbeck: sorry cos i'm really new to this. Pls guide me through
[03:22] <cdm10> akuwa: how much RAM do you have on the system?
[03:22] <JosephLinkous> Thanks
[03:22] <storbeck> Extreme_b: sudo mount /dev/cdrom0
[03:22] <_ryker> Hey all, is there a way when using auto-logon to stop nm-applet from asking for keyring?
[03:22] <Jim1215> unop: thanks unop. but there is already a /etc/init.d/bind9 file, do i still need to do that
[03:22] <Maxwell`> m
[03:22] <Conor1313> Hi everyone, I have an HP Pavillion Desktop PC and I can only connect to wireless when in the same room as my router, I believe the Wireless chip is intel and integrated into my computer, which type of driver or software would I need to get the wireless working in a different room?
[03:22] <storbeck> Or rather /media/cdrom .. or wherever it is
[03:22] <Extreme_b> storbeck: ok i'll try it now
[03:22] <akuwa> Oh, it's very old, only 128MB.
[03:22] <cdm10> _ryker: unfortunately, the keyring password is identical to the login password, which is what makes it only require a password once... but it does need it that one time.
[03:23] <cdm10> akuwa: that's lower than the published system requirements -- you can try the Alternate install CD.
[03:23] <storbeck> Conor1313: If your wireless is working, then you're issue is not the drivers
[03:23] <unop> Jim1215, well, if /etc/rc2.d/ does not have a link pointing to /etc/init.d/bind9, yes  .. it's the files in /etc/rc?.d that matter not the ones in /etc/init.d
[03:23] <Iceman_B^Ltop> um, HALP. I just typed "sudo aptitude remove ebox" and I get a question about removing package and a score: "Score is -1228"
[03:23] <cdm10> _ryker: you could try setting the keyring password to blank, but I've never tried it and I'm not sure if it will work.
[03:23] <Iceman_B^Ltop> what does the signify ?
[03:23] <akuwa> Ah! I'm sorry, I should have specified- I am using the alternate CD.
[03:23] <_ryker> ah
[03:23] <brhoward> i'm having trouble installing VIA graphics card drivers on ubuntu
[03:23] <cdm10> Iceman_B^Ltop: it means it would break dependencies in the package management system.
[03:23] <Conor1313> storbeck: what would the issue be? It only picks up signal if im a few feet from my router
[03:24] <Iceman_B^Ltop> cdm10: what if I want to remove all said packaged?
[03:24] <storbeck> Conor1313: You need to set the Tx
[03:24] <BSG> thanks redvamp128
[03:24] <Iceman_B^Ltop> thereby eliminating that problem ?
[03:24] <cdm10> Iceman_B^Ltop: as long as its suggestion is agreeable to you, go ahead and accept it... as long as you're sure the removal of those packages won't break anything.
[03:24] <Conor1313> Storbeck: Im a bit new to this, what is Tx?
[03:24] <Extreme_b> storbeck: it gives me an error saying mount:block device /dev/scd0 is write protected, mounting read only
[03:25] <Jim1215> unop, yes. there is a symbolic file called S15bind9 points to /etc/init.d/bind9
[03:25] <_ryker> cdm10: trying the empty thing
[03:25] <cdm10> akuwa: oh... I'm not sure what the requirements for that are, then. Personally, I'd recommend upgrading the system -- RAM is pretty cheap now. I'm not sure what else there is to do, except installing an older version and doing online upgrades until it's at the latest version, which has problems of its own.
[03:25] <cdm10> _ryker: alright, tell me how that goes
[03:25] <n8tuser> _ryker -> i stepped out, did you try   sudo ifdown wlan0; sudo ifup wlan0   ?
[03:26] <_ryker> n8tuser: i ended up reinstalling network-manager and setting the static details using that, and it worked fine
[03:26] <stroyan> Conor1313: Perhaps you have a lot of interference from another source.  You may get better range by changing the wifi channel at your router.
[03:26] <akuwa> Ha- well, I can install an older version, but the computer doesn't have a network card, so upgrades would be complicated.
[03:26] <cdm10> akuwa: ouch :-/
[03:26] <storbeck> Conor1313: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Wireless_FAQ
[03:26] <cdm10> n8tuser: the problem is that when autologin is used, the system isn't supplied with a password to unlock the keyring, so it still asks for a password to grab the wireless key from storage.
[03:26] <Conor1313> stroyan: The thing is though, i have 2 other laptops which both pick up the signal just fine
[03:26] <Iceman_B^Ltop> cdm10: yeah, i'm removing all those packages, ebox is WAY too heavy for what I need, I'll go with phpsysinfo
[03:26] <unop> Jim1215, then bind9 is failing to start at that point - maybe because networking is not setup at that point?  have a look in the log files in /var/log to find out why
[03:27] <akuwa> Which version would you suggest I install? I'm not very familiar with Linux, I work with it only briefly in school servers, so a console is not a good idea for me.
[03:27] <n8tuser> cdm10 -> the key can be inserted there on that interfaces file
[03:27] <cdm10> Iceman_B^Ltop: not familiar with any of that software, but you seem to know what you're doing.
 storbeck: it gives me an error saying mount:block device /dev/scd0 is write protected, mounting read only
[03:27] <cdm10> n8tuser: does that still work if he's using networkmanager? If so, then you should help him, not me :)
[03:27] <azlon_> can anybody help with this? ryan@mini-me:~$ sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1/sda1.bin
[03:27] <azlon_> dd: opening `/dev/sdb1/sda1.bin': Not a directory
[03:27] <arui> am I alive?
[03:28] <cdm10> akuwa: what version of Ubuntu, you mean?
[03:28] <azlon_> should i create the bin file first?
[03:28] <n8tuser> cdm10 -> i thought you and him are one and the same..
[03:28] <cdm10> azlon_: no, you're writing to a file that doesn't exist
[03:28] <akuwa> Yes, that is what I mean exactly.
[03:28] <cdm10> arui: yep
[03:28] <cdm10> n8tuser: oh, no, I was trying to help him :)
[03:28] <azlon_> cdm10: am i doing the command wrong?
[03:28] <Jim1215> unop, thanks. but i am not sure which file to look for, /var/log/syslog?
[03:28] <unop> azlon_, you cannot write to /dev/sdb1/ like that directly
[03:28] <cdm10> akuwa: I'd go with an LTS release, if that works.
[03:28] <cdm10> azlon_: are you trying to image a partition?
[03:29] <azlon_> cdm10: yes
[03:29] <unop> Jim1215, i'd try that first, then /var/log/messages,debug
[03:29] <cdm10> azlon_: where do you want to put the image you're creating?
[03:29] <akuwa> An...LTS? I'm not familiar with it.
[03:29] <Conor1313> storbeck: So i need to up the values to get a better signal, is that correct? How would i do that?
[03:29] <cdm10> akuwa: it's a version of Ubuntu that's supported for longer than a normal release... if you're going to install an old version, that's what you should install. It sohuld be pretty clear on the Ubuntu site.
[03:29] <cdm10> Also,
[03:29] <cdm10> !who | akuwa
[03:29] <azlon_> cdm10: on my external HDD which is sdb1
[03:29] <_ryker> cdm10: whoops just figured out how to set it to empty, lets see how that goes...
[03:30] <azlon_> cdm10: it is in /mount/WD\ Passport
[03:30] <Iceman_B^Ltop> hmm, apaprantly, eBox installed the clamav daemon, what is that?
[03:30] <BSG> Any tips on finding a legacy flash driver?
[03:30] <cdm10> azlon_: and which drive are you trying to create the image of?
[03:30] <azlon_> my sda1
 storbeck: it gives me an error saying mount:block device /dev/scd0 is write protected, mounting read only
[03:31] <storbeck> Conor1313: man iwconfig
[03:31] <akuwa> Sorry, I'm not familiar enough with IRC and I'm bothering people- er, thanks for your assistance though.
[03:31] <redvamp128> BSG I got you the link hold on
[03:31] <cdm10> azlon_: oh, sorry, misread your command. Your of= bit is going to have to have the mountpoint of your external drive in it, not the device name.
[03:31] <azlon_> cdm10: which is located in just / when i do df
[03:31] <_ryker> cdm10: the empty password thing works
[03:31] <cdm10> _ryker: cool :)
[03:31] <d_rugs420> anyone have a problem with firebug crashing firefox?
[03:31] <storbeck> iwconfig ath0 txpower 30mW
[03:31] <BSG> thanks
[03:32] <unop> Extreme_b, that's just a warning to say - it's mounting the CD-ROM as read-only because you cannot obviously write to it .. the device should be mounted now
[03:32] <redvamp128> BSG:  Ubuntu -- Details of package flashplugin-nonfree in hardy-updates <http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-updates/web/flashplugin-nonfree> Ignore the hardy part (but first uninstall your flash 10 from synaptic package manager)
[03:32] <azlon_> cdm10: so i would want /mount/WD\ Passport?
[03:32] <cdm10> azlon_: right... dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/mount/WD\ Passport/sda1.bin
[03:32] <redvamp128> BSG:  and when it says there is an updated version -- ignore that part
[03:32] <BSG> already done the uninstall
[03:32] <azlon_> cdm10: thanks!
 storbeck: thanks alot .. solve
[03:32] <Kijutsu_> I just use apt-get to install eggdrop.. where the heck did it put it?
[03:32] <redvamp128> BSG see my pm
[03:33] <cdm10> azlon_: no problem
[03:33] <storbeck> Kijutsu_: locate eggdrop
[03:33] <Kijutsu_> storbeck, returns nothing
[03:33] <azlon_> cdm10: dd: opening `/mount/WD Passport/sda1.bin': No such file or directory
[03:33] <storbeck> type: which eggdrop
[03:33] <azlon_> cdm10: i put a \ for the space in the WD Passport
[03:33] <Conor1313> storbeck: so I just change the number in " iwconfig eth0 txpower 15" ?
[03:33] <storbeck> Conor1313: Yep
[03:34] <storbeck> Obviously change eth0 do you wifi interface though
[03:34] <cdm10> azlon_: are you sure it isn't /media rather than /mount?
[03:34] <storbeck> to your*
[03:34] <azlon_> cdm10: this is what my df gives me: /dev/sdb1             233G   83G  151G  36% /media/WD Passport
[03:34] <Kijutsu_> storbeck, where's the associated files for it, botchk, script directory, etc?
[03:34] <cdm10> azlon_: see, it's /media, not /mount :)
[03:34] <storbeck> Kijutsu_: find / -name eggdrop
[03:34] <azlon_> cdm10: crap, my bad
[03:34] <Jim1215> unop, there are several error messages in my syslog file. the one has keyword "bind" is like this:  bind() fd 18, family 10, port 123, scope 2, addr fe80::213:d4ff:fed3:8f33, in6_is_addr_multicast=0 flags=0x11 fails: Cannot assign requested address.  is that the problem?
[03:34] <Conor1313> storbeck: Alright, Im going to move my desktop and try that out. Would 30 be a good number? Or just trial and error?
[03:34] <cdm10> azlon_: not a problem.
[03:34] <storbeck> Conor1313: Should be good
[03:35] <storbeck> Mine is set at 15 dBm
[03:35] <Kijutsu_> storbeck, there she is.. thanks much :)
[03:35] <Conor1313> storbeck: Thank you, Ill try that right now
[03:35] <storbeck> np, np
[03:35] <azlon_> cdm10: will this create a bit for bit? i was using mkisofs but that makes a file the size of the HDD. for example, if i had a 4 GB HDD but only used 2 GB of it, it would make a 4 GB ISO... will dd do the same?
[03:36] <redvamp128> BSG:  any luck?
[03:36] <natek> #ubuntuforums-beginners
[03:36] <cdm10> azlon_: yep, it will. What filesystem are you using? There are tools that can be smarter about it.
[03:36] <natek> ok i am really new to this, how to i connect to #ubuntuforums-beginners
[03:36] <natek> ?
[03:36] <n8tuser> azlon_ -> dd is bit for bit -- you can specify bs for block size,  man dd please
[03:36] <azlon_> cdm10: i ext2 and the external HDD is FAT32
[03:36] <storbeck> azlon_: Are you trying to make a livecd?
[03:37] <BSG> redvamp128: that has a file for debian in it
[03:37] <BSG> Oddly
[03:37] <azlon_> storbeck: i would like to do that eventually... but right now i would just like to have a backup of my system... this is perfect for formatting and using this
[03:37] <BSG> Would you ty downloading it to see if I'm crazy?
[03:37] <BSG> try
[03:37] <cdm10> azlon_: hmm, I think there's something that'll work for that but I'm forgetting the name.
[03:37] <storbeck> azlon_: You should not use ext2 for your main filesystem
[03:38] <redvamp128> BSG:  64 bit or 32bit?
[03:38] <cdm10> azlon_: aha, it's called partimage.
[03:38] <Conor1313> Storbeck: It wouldnt let me edit, it was just a manual? How would I edit the number?
[03:38] <redvamp128> BSG:  it will download a .deb file -- then you install it from that..
[03:38] <azlon_> storbeck: really? i just installed based on a tutorial i found for putting ubuntu on mini 9
[03:38] <BSG> I'm x86
[03:38] <azlon_> storbeck: what should i use?
[03:38] <storbeck> You should use ext3
[03:38] <azlon_> cdm10: im looking for that now
[03:38] <storbeck> ext2 is only good for /boot
[03:38] <cdm10> azlon_: ext3 would be better... it's easy to convert.
[03:38] <redvamp128> BSG: http://ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/f/flashplugin-nonfree/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.159.0ubuntu1~hardy1_i386.deb
[03:39] <BSG> Sorry for my noobness
[03:39] <cdm10> azlon_: ext3 is identical to ext2 except it has something called a journal, which makes it a lot harder to corrupt the filesystem.
[03:39] <storbeck> Using ext2 would make your system really slow
[03:39] <cdm10> storbeck: not true.
[03:39] <n8tuser> not true i agree
[03:39] <cdm10> storbeck: it's the same as ext3, without the error-resistance.
[03:39] <n8tuser> journalling
[03:39] <cdm10> n8tuser: yep.
[03:39] <redvamp128> BSG:  just save that file then once it finishes click on it then it will give you something about there is an updated version (ignore that) then click install
[03:40] <azlon_> ok, well should i convert it before i use partimage?
[03:40] <n8tuser> azlon_ -> its okay to make a copy of ext2  and then enable the journalling feature when using it..
[03:40] <cdm10> azlon_: doesn't really matter whether you do it before or after
[03:41] <azlon_> ok, so how do i either enable journalling or convert to ext3?
[03:42] <redvamp128> BSG:  did that link work for you?
[03:42] <BSG> Yeah, going to try it now
[03:43] <bernz> "azlon_> cdm10: i put a \ for the space in the WD Passport" > not to put too fine a point on it, but i hope you meant you put a backslash-space for the space, not just a backslash ;-)
[03:43] <cdm10> bernz: according to the error message, he did it right.
[03:43] <cdm10> bernz: heh, that sounds weird... but it's true :)
[03:43] <azlon_> bernz: yeah, i put a space :)
[03:43] <redvamp128> BSG:  this worked for someone else -- the right click to enable camera was disabled using flash 10 but when he installed 9 it let him enable the camera.-- just ignore the updated version availible -- restart firefox... and it should work
[03:44] <bernz> cdm10, azlon_, cool :-)
[03:44] <cdm10> azlon_: it's actually a bit tricky, I think. It requires booting into single-user-mode or using a livecd. I mean, not really tricky, but you might want to look at the instructions and then do it.
[03:44] <cdm10> azlon_: ...I guess that goes without saying, so I'm not sure what I'm trying to say here :)
[03:45] <azlon_> cdm10: thanks. i am trying to use partition image, have you ever used it before?
[03:46] <cdm10> azlon_: I've tried it, but never too seriously.
[03:46] <azlon_> cdm10: looks like i have to unmount it before i can image it... does this sound about right?
[03:47] <cdm10> azlon_: wait, are you logged into the system you're imaging? That can cause issues -- basically the data will change under the nose of the imager. You might want to do this from a liveCD.
[03:47] <cdm10> azlon_: yep, which you can't do when you're booted from it.
[03:47] <konix> french ???
[03:47] <cdm10> !fr | konix
[03:47] <azlon_> cdm10: crap... i dont have a cdrom (mini 9)... i know there is a way to create a bootable thumbdrive, but i dont remember how
[03:47] <konix> lol
[03:47] <konix> ok
[03:48] <cdm10> azlon_: if you're on 8.10, go to System>Administration>Create a USB Startup Disk
[03:48] <azlon_> bah, that was easy... brb
[03:48] <storbeck> cdm10: assuming he's using gnome
[03:48] <Conor1313> Storbeck: Txpower wont go above 12, is that the maximum?
[03:48] <cdm10> storbeck: good point...
[03:48] <linux_guy> i have an internal 3.5" hdd sitting on my desk connected to my desktop via an IDE to USB cable.  On my laptop, ubuntu will NOT mount the drive because it's NTFS.... On my new desktop installation, it sees the hdd all day.  WHAT.... is the difference?
[03:48] <storbeck> Conor1313: maybe for your card it is. Mine is by default 15
[03:49] <ballsax> hello all
[03:49] <Conor1313> storbeck: alright, thanks again.
[03:49] <storbeck> np
[03:49] <cdm10> linux_guy: are you running the same version of Ubuntu? Ubuntu has supported NTFS for a while...
[03:49] <ballsax> im new to linux
[03:49] <ballsax> i am running gOS
[03:49] <ballsax> have you guys heard of gOS?
[03:49] <Scunizi> yes
[03:49] <storbeck> !ask | ballsax
[03:49] <ballsax> do you like it?
[03:49] <linux_guy> cdm10: 8.10 on both
[03:49] <bernz> azlon_, i might not have the whole context here, but if you have a "simple" partition scheme (e.g. very few, or even single), you could split/resize and put your backup image on the newly freed space
[03:50] <Scunizi> !ot | ballsax
[03:50] <storbeck> You should not run your entire distro off one partition, bernz
[03:50] <ballsax> Hasorry
[03:50] <linux_guy> what can i do to make the laptop mount ntfs?
[03:51] <cdm10> linux_guy: do you cleanly unmount the ntfs partition before you attach it to the laptop?
[03:51] <cdm10> storbeck: that's the default install, I don't really see a big problem with it except for special cases
[03:51] <BSG> Well, now I can access settings in flash, but my cam is still black
[03:51] <linux_guy> yeah
[03:51] <cdm10> bernz: you could, but then it wouldn't protect againts a hard drive crash.
[03:51] <BSG> But it detects the cam is installed
[03:51] <bernz> storbeck, agreed, though it's likely that some users do that for fear of having to understand partitioning ;-)
[03:51] <BSG> I can select usb cam 3
[03:51] <BSG> 2
[03:51] <BSG> er, usb 2.0 cam
[03:51] <cdm10> linux_guy: I"m really not sure... I don't think it has anything to do with it being a laptop. Have you mounted it manually?
[03:51] <linux_guy> cdm10: no, im afradi
[03:52] <linux_guy> skeeered*
[03:52] <Iceman_B^Ltop> where does apache normally store it;'s config?
[03:52] <azlon_> bernz: i only have 8GB SSD... im on a netbook playing with linux for the first time
[03:52] <storbeck> Iceman_B^Ltop: that's a pretty generic question
[03:52] <Scunizi> Iceman_B^Ltop: /etc/apache2
[03:52] <storbeck> Apache has many config files
[03:52] <bernz> cdm10, fair enough -- i was interpreting azlon_'s desired usage for the backup was to restore after mangling a "current" install ("sandbox")
[03:52] <cdm10> linux_guy: well, give that a try... do you know how?
[03:53] <Iceman_B^Ltop> storbeck: hm, okay
[03:53] <storbeck> What config file are you looking for?
[03:53] <linux_guy> cdm10: yes, its the 'at your own risk
[03:53] <linux_guy> part im afraid of
[03:53] <cdm10> bernz: i suppose. That brings a lot more fun stuff into play, though :)
[03:53] <Iceman_B^Ltop> storbeck: the most main one
[03:53] <storbeck> ...
[03:53] <cdm10> linux_guy: do you get an error message when you try to mount it?
[03:53] <nathan_406> I cant open Umbrello
[03:53] <Iceman_B^Ltop> the one that gets called the first I guess? the one with global options etc
[03:53] <linux_guy> cdm10: yes
[03:53] <bernz> cdm10, yeah, my suggestions are usually in the "last desperate attempt" category :-)
[03:53] <storbeck> httpd.conf?
[03:54] <cdm10> linux_guy: would you mind pasting it? not here, but in a pastebin...
[03:54] <pretender> i am going to dual boot ubuntu and XP what is the best partition type to use that will work in both OS's.
[03:54] <Iceman_B^Ltop> storbeck: yeah
[03:54] <cdm10> !paste | linux_guy
[03:54] <storbeck> Iceman_B^Ltop: find / -name httpd.conf
[03:54] <redvamp128> BSG:  That worked for the other guy-- though I think he enabled the camera using 9 then upgraded to 10 (just made sure to use the remember settigns option) and it worked to keep the camera up.
[03:54] <nathan_406> can someone help me open Umbrello. I need to do my homework
[03:54] <wolter> how can i omit from a string stuff in front of it? for example, if I wanted to omit something after it i would do something like ${var%<whatever>}
[03:54] <storbeck> On all my servers, it's in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
[03:54] <dsdeiz> hi is there a keyboard shortcut to run the terminal?
[03:54] <cdm10> pretender: NTFS is well-supported, fat32 is better-supported but has issues with hard shutdowns and system corruption.
[03:54] <storbeck> dsdeiz: You can make a keybind for it
[03:54] <Iceman_B^Ltop> the first hit says /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
[03:55] <cdm10> dsdeiz: no, but you can assign one... and if you really need a terminal, you can hit ctrl-alt-f1 to get a vtty (alt-f7 to get back)
[03:55] <storbeck> Iceman_B^Ltop: Well there you go
[03:55] <Iceman_B^Ltop> so I guess Scunizi was right :) but yeah
[03:55] <Iceman_B^Ltop> thanks
[03:55] <redvamp128> BSG:  did you get that?
[03:55]  * Iceman_B^Ltop fires up an editor
[03:55] <azlon_> wow, linux is really freaking cool
[03:55] <hmw> azlon_: yeah, it is.
[03:55] <Iceman_B^Ltop> azlon_: yeah, I like being able to use putty to control it remotely
[03:55] <azlon_> im really starting to like this... it gets better after you figure out how to man handle it
[03:55] <Iceman_B^Ltop> I feel like such a geek ^_^
[03:55] <adred> does i386 version of ubuntu run on amd64 chips?
[03:55] <BSG> yes redvamp, I'm going to try installing 10 now
[03:55] <bernz> dseiz, i went to System | Prefs | Keyboard shortcuts and set up  'CTRL-ALT-T' for it
[03:56] <redvamp128> BSG:  if it helps you can try running lsusb to see which camera it is
[03:56] <linux_guy> cdm10: it would take a lot... the laptop is dead, and i'd have to unmount from one and mount to the other... I was really just surprised and interested, wanted to know why
[03:56] <storbeck> azlon_: Don't forget about the man pages :)
[03:56] <cdm10> adred: yep, it will.
[03:56] <ziroday> adred: yes
[03:56] <BSG> it's video2
[03:56] <dsdeiz> hmm, probably just the window thingy mode.. (kinda new at this)
[03:56] <azlon_> storbeck: what are man pages anyway?
[03:56] <redvamp128> BSG:  the problem with 10 was the not being able to turn the camera on for the other person
[03:56] <storbeck> azlon_: manual pages
[03:56] <cdm10> linux_guy: it sounds a lot like the "you forgot to cleanly unmount it" message
[03:56] <dsdeiz> may i ask how to make a keybind?
[03:56] <linux_guy> cdm10: i thought linux only worked with FAT style, ext3/4 systems
[03:56] <adred> cdm10 ziroday: thanks
[03:56] <cdm10> azlon_: say "man whatever" and it'll tell you about whatever
[03:56] <storbeck> azlon_: type: man bash
[03:56] <bernz> dsdeiz, see dseiz... above
[03:56] <cdm10> linux_guy: it now supports NTFS pretty well.
[03:56] <azlon_> man bash
[03:56] <azlon_> oh
[03:56] <storbeck> Not in irc..
[03:56] <azlon_> stupid... in terminal
[03:56] <linux_guy> cdm10: i see.  it was a pleasant surprise
[03:57] <linux_guy> ok gotta run
[03:57] <linux_guy> THANKS!
[03:57] <Iceman_B^Ltop> oh, a question to the masses, would you say its better to always operate within a SCREEN when logged in remotely ?
[03:57] <redvamp128> BSG:  I just wish adobe would listen to the bug reports-- I had the same issue when I ran Intrepid -- but I reinstalled 8.04 (hardy) and I don't have that issue
[03:57] <nathan_406> is there a chat room for Umbrello cuz i want help running it
[03:57] <storbeck> Iceman_B^Ltop: no
[03:57] <storbeck> It depends on what you're doing
[03:57] <Scunizi> azlon_: you could do it in terminal with /exec man bash
[03:57] <dsdeiz> oh, tnx bernz
[03:57] <BSG> I wonder if I should do that with the EEE pc?
[03:57] <Scunizi> azlon_: doh.. in irc
[03:57] <BSG> eeebuntu has a hardy version I believe
[03:58] <azlon_> Scunizi: thanks
[03:58] <ziroday> nathan_406: well the site recommends you do sudo apt-get install umbrello-kde4
[03:58] <storbeck> Scunizi: That depends on what irc client he's on
[03:58] <Iceman_B^Ltop> well, like just now, I was running the find command, but I guess it took a while before it was finished. if I was running that within a screen, I could detach and continue working.
[03:58] <bernz> Iceman_B, things are almost never "always", but yes :-) it offers the benefit of keeping certain stuff "happy" in your "absence" (e.g. cleaners yank the cables)
[03:58] <Scunizi> storbeck: true..
[03:58] <redvamp128> BSG:  that is your call -- but at least now the camera is enabled
[03:58] <sebsebseb> Can Ubuntu be installed on a WII?
[03:58] <storbeck> lol @ sebsebseb
[03:58] <azlon_> storbeck: im using chatzilla... a firefox plugin... i know i need another one
[03:58] <sebsebseb> storbeck: heh yeah I didn't think so
[03:59] <sebsebseb> storbeck: ,but it can on an Xbox
[03:59] <storbeck> azlon_: use irssi ;)
[03:59] <Iceman_B^Ltop> lol, irssi
[03:59] <Scunizi> storbeck: ditto
[03:59] <bernz> Iceman_B^Ltop, see Iceman_B... above  (argh, twice!)
[03:59] <Iceman_B^Ltop> irssi is too l33t for me :(
[03:59] <cdm10> azlon_: try xchat -- irssi is a command-line-only one.
[03:59] <azlon_> oh, f' command line...
[03:59] <azlon_> xchat it is
[03:59] <Scunizi> Iceman_B^Ltop: you don't see the love yet.. irssi is a great client
[04:00] <storbeck> Don't be scared of command line
[04:00] <sebsebseb> azlon_:  no
[04:00] <sebsebseb> azlon_: Xchat LOL  get Konversation instead
[04:00] <Iceman_B^Ltop> Scunizi: I was raised with mIRC...so irssi takes a while to grow on me
[04:00] <nathan_406> ziroday: that gives me -->"E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[04:00] <nathan_406> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?"
[04:00] <Iceman_B^Ltop> and to get configured
[04:00] <cdm10> ...please, no chat client holy wars?
[04:00] <storbeck> nathan_406: Are you using sudo?
[04:00] <sebsebseb> azlon_: Konversation is very nice and graphical
[04:00] <ziroday> nathan_406: well thats because you installing something else. Wait for it finish
[04:00] <Scunizi> Iceman_B^Ltop: there are themes to make it look like mIRC.. :)
[04:00] <azlon_> ok, konver it is then...
[04:00] <cdm10> xchat for gtk, konversation for qt, and that's all you really need to know if you don't care much.
[04:00] <nathan_406> is i did
[04:00] <azlon_> i dont need anything special
[04:01] <sebsebseb> cdm10: nah Konversation runs rather nicely in Gnome/GTK
[04:01] <nathan_406> Yes I did*
[04:01] <ziroday> !best | azlon_ try them all out and decide :)
[04:01] <cdm10> sebsebseb: after pulling in a load of KDE dependencies... and it looks very different from other Gnome applications.
[04:01] <pretender> cdm10:  What would you recommend NTFS or Fat32?  Fat32 has a 4GB file size limit.
[04:01] <sebsebseb> cdm10: so what
[04:01] <Iceman_B^Ltop> Scunizi: the only thing I want is a persistant nicklist, which is non-buggy
[04:01] <Iceman_B^Ltop> I guess
[04:01] <nathan_406> Well am doing an update
[04:01] <bernz> CLI is still the most powerful and efficient and misunderstood tool ever devised for human/computer interaction, decried chiefly for its intricacy and the years it takes to master
[04:01] <sebsebseb> pretender: for Linux use Ext3
[04:01] <ziroday> nathan_406: well when updating you are installing, wait for it to finish
[04:01] <cdm10> sebsebseb: well, he's a new user... having consistent UIs is quite a good thing.
[04:02] <Scunizi> Iceman_B^Ltop: I never found the need for a nick list..
[04:02] <Iceman_B^Ltop> I have to make do without a GUI for irc(hence irssi) but having that treebar in mirc is mighty nifty
[04:02] <sebsebseb> azlon_: want to learn Ubuntu properly?
[04:02] <nathan_406> thats gonna take some time!
[04:02] <azlon_> sebsebseb: dude, 93 megs for a chat client?
[04:02] <Iceman_B^Ltop> Scunizi: I want to be able to quickly see who is and who isnt in a channel
[04:02] <nathan_406> but it I must
[04:02] <cdm10> azlon_: that's because it's Konversation.
[04:02] <nathan_406> not problem!
[04:02] <sebsebseb> azlon_: yeah  Linux  programs hardly take up any space
[04:02] <azlon_> sebsebseb: sure...  i say hesitently
[04:02] <storbeck> !ot
[04:02] <Scunizi> Iceman_B^Ltop:  might be nice for smaller channels but here with 1200+ .. eh. not for me.
[04:02] <cdm10> azlon_: like I said, on Gnome, pretty much anything beginning with K is going to take up a ton of space.
[04:03] <sebsebseb> azlon_: ok PM me
[04:03] <psilocybin> i got a question guys, when i attempt to install nvidia drivers, it says it must be in root folder?, but when i try to copy nvidia drive file to root folder i cannot?
[04:03] <cdm10> pretender: if you must have Windows support, NTFS is probably the way to go... it's well-supported now under Ubuntu, and fat32 has too many liminations
[04:03] <azlon_> sebsebseb: i think 93 is big for a chat...
[04:03] <ziroday> psilocybin: are you using ubuntu
[04:03] <psilocybin> yes gOS
[04:03] <Iceman_B^Ltop> ah yes, indeed, there is little need in HERE. but all other (30-ish) channels I hang in....yeah, i'd like to have it :)
[04:03] <storbeck> psilocybin: Use sudo
[04:03] <ziroday> psilocybin: that is not ubuntu.
[04:03] <psilocybin> sudo? whats that
[04:03] <ziroday> !derivatives | psilocybin
[04:03] <storbeck> !sudo | psilocybin
[04:03] <hmw> psilocybin: try "man sudo"
[04:03] <bernz> psilocybin, it's not root folder, it's root user, probably, which it's talking about
[04:04] <hmw> psilocybin: I mean try "man <whatevercommand>"
[04:04] <JosephLinkous> So I don't even know what I want to do with my Linux Server now that it's working.
[04:04] <psilocybin> ? what
[04:04] <pretender> ok thanks
[04:04] <redvamp128> BSG:  any luck?
[04:05] <conorcaplice> storbeck: It's Conor1313, no luck, it can see my wireless network but it wont connect to it. Any Ideas?
[04:05] <Scunizi> JosephLinkous: load irssi on it and mutt, elinks and openssh so you can be on any machine and login and irc, get email, cruz the net.. throw a test joomla site up.. make a media server .. :)
[04:05] <bernz> psilocybin, if you start a root shell (that is, a shell that has root privileges), you can run things as if you are superuser
[04:05] <psilocybin> lemme try
[04:05] <psilocybin> thanks
[04:05] <storbeck> conorcaplice: Try: sudo iwconfig ath0 essid "your ap name"; dhclient ath0
[04:05] <hmw> psilocybin: some programs need to be run by the root user, which is the user context of the system. Like Administrator in windows. The root user can do anything on your system. Do not try logging in as "root" - that is disabled in Ubuntu by default. Instead call every command, that needs to be run as root, with "sudo COMMAND"
[04:05] <storbeck> (change ath0 with your wifi interface)
[04:05] <bernz> psilocybin, presumably the driver installation needs the "permission" to modify deep stuff in your system
[04:06] <psilocybin> why wouldnt i have permission
[04:06] <ziroday> psilocybin: if you are using ubuntu, you should not even need to install the drivers manually
[04:06] <ardchoille> psilocybin: Please understand that gOS is not Ubuntu. It is based on Ubuntu but it is a different distro
[04:06] <bernz> psilocybin, for your own safety -- by default -- and you can unsafe yourself with usdo
[04:06] <hmw> psilocybin: for security. You (or any programs you start) cannot really damage the system. That's why Linux doesnt need antivirus software.
[04:06] <bernz> usdo -> sudo
[04:06] <psilocybin> sudo
[04:06] <conorcaplice> ill give that a shot
[04:07] <psilocybin> how do i install sudo
[04:07] <hmw> psilocybin: already installed.
[04:07] <storbeck> psilocybin: Please read the Ubuntu docs
[04:07] <bernz> sudo is bundled with almost all distros
[04:07] <bernz> psilocybin, 'man sudo'
[04:07] <psilocybin> man sudo
[04:08] <psilocybin> sorry guys, im an ultra noob
[04:08] <hmw> psilocybin: Man pages are not very pretty. But you should consider looking at the manuals, if you want to find out, what a certain command is doing. man COMMANDNAME
[04:08] <bernz> psilocybin, i'm afraid you'll have to type that into your shell, not here ;-)
[04:08] <sebsebseb> !sudo
[04:08] <psilocybin> ahhh
[04:08] <BSG> Redvamp, you are my hero
[04:08] <redvamp128> psilocybin:  applications-accessories-then terminal
[04:08] <brutus> Hi, my graphics card is not being detected even though restricted device manager says the driver is enabled. I cannot change desktop effects or screen resolution. Can someone please help me out? Here is my xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/124110/
[04:08] <redvamp128> BSG:  the upgrade to 10 turned the camera back on
[04:08] <BSG> Yes, it's amazing
[04:08] <ziroday> brutus: what graphics card and what version of ubuntu?
[04:08] <BSG> You are my savior.
[04:08] <navetz> how can i set my repositories to download the latest version of flash player?
[04:08] <cdm10> brutus: what card do you have, and what driver is activated?
[04:08] <ardchoille> redvamp128: he's using gOS, it has a different menu setup
[04:09] <JosephLinkous> Alright, I have another question. I can see this getting really out of hand with being unable to keep track of all the programs you install on Server, since there's no simple GUI tool to list user-installed packages
[04:09] <BSG> What would be a decent place to record my fix so others could figure it out?
[04:09] <BSG> A place that will give it lots of eyes
[04:09] <brutus> ziroday, Nvidia 8600GS and Gutsy 7.10
[04:09] <ziroday> BSG: the wiki
[04:09] <hmw> psilocybin: Many questions have been answered already. Consult https://help.ubuntu.com/
[04:09] <storbeck> !nvidia | brutus
[04:09] <brutus> cdm10, Nvidia 8600GS and how do I find out the driver version?
[04:09] <ziroday> brutus: okay, you're using the vesa driver. Have you got the nvidia driver installed?
[04:09] <JosephLinkous> Is there a command to list user-installed stuff instead of every single package on there?
[04:09] <BSG> Link, please?
[04:09] <bernz> psilocybin, i recommend you copy the terminal shortcut redvamp128 just referred to into your "quick shortcuts" or whatever they're called at the top of your display
[04:09] <Scunizi> JosephLinkous: aptitude is a terminal based synaptic.. sort of graphic..  you'll see what's installed there.. you can also use apt but I haven't figured that out
[04:10] <redvamp128> BSG:  there has been about 12 bug reports sent to adobe about that one - where the menu to turn cams on is disabled in flash 10 = but downgrade to 9..to enable the cam -- then upgrade to the 10
[04:10] <BSG> Right, but it'd be nice for that to be more apparent
[04:10] <bernz> psilocybin, i also recommend you create a key binding (assign a key shortcut) to launch a terminal (shell)... super handy :-)
[04:10] <redvamp128> BSG:  you could also make reference to that in your eeepc page..
[04:10] <clayg> how do i determine what chipset  i have on my notebook's wireless adapter
[04:10] <brutus> ziroday, How do I find out if its installed?
[04:10] <storbeck> clayg: dmesg
[04:10] <storbeck> Or lspci
[04:10] <conorcaplice> storbeck: It came back, i dont have ath0, so i tried wlan0, It came back with "wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801"  then "No DHCPOFFERS received" "No working leases in persistent database - sleeping."
[04:11] <brutus> ziroday, It was working fine before I tried installing the latest 180-something driver from the nvidia site
[04:11] <ziroday> brutus: pastebin the output of err apt-cache policy nvidia-*
[04:11] <Scunizi> clayg: or sudo lshw in terminal...
[04:11] <redvamp128> BSG:  I have sent 3 bug reports to adobe about that issue
[04:11] <BSG> I plan to
[04:11] <bernz> clayg, one way is 'lspci -v | less' and page through the results to find what you seek
[04:11] <ziroday> brutus: and that's why we recommend you don't manually install the drivers. You might want to uninstall it.
[04:11] <BSG> And I will send a bug report myself
[04:11] <BSG> I went through a few other long processes
[04:11] <storbeck> conorcaplice: Sounds like it is a driver issue after all ;)
[04:11] <JosephLinkous> Scunizi: I didn't even know I could launch Aptitude and have a (sort of) gui thing load up. I was actually going to ask how I could skim through the repositories to see what kinds of things are out there
[04:11] <conorcaplice> haha
[04:11] <redvamp128> another good one is dmesg -short
[04:11] <clayg> trying all, on lshw now lol
[04:12] <Scunizi> JosephLinkous: you'll also need to learn "screen"
[04:12] <brutus> ziroday, the output is 'unable to locate package'; how do I revert back to my old driver?
[04:12] <redvamp128> as well as lshw -short
[04:12] <conorcaplice> so, where would i go to find the correct driver for me?
[04:12] <storbeck> conorcaplice: What chipset is it?
[04:12] <sebsebseb> bernz: telling new users,  to do a load of stuff, that they don't understand, isn't that good
[04:12] <conorcaplice> its integrated into the computer, i believe its Intel
[04:12] <cdm10> sebsebseb: like installing KDE, for instance.
[04:13] <ziroday> brutus: do you have two graphics cards?
[04:13] <storbeck> !madwifi
[04:13] <brutus> ziroday, No just one 8600GS
[04:13] <sebsebseb> cdm10: I explained to him in PM about Gnome and KDE
[04:13] <storbeck> Eh, that's not what I was hoping for
[04:13] <ziroday> brutus: then why do you have two device lines?
[04:13]  * bernz tried 'dmesg -short' and was surprised to find 'TCP: Treason uncloaked...' and so on :-)
[04:13] <conorcaplice> madwifi?
[04:13] <donavan01> BSG: you still around
[04:13] <cdm10> sebsebseb: oh, I guess I misunderstood something :-/ oh well then.
[04:13] <storbeck> conorcaplice: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Madwifi
[04:13] <ziroday> brutus: actually can you pastebin your /var/log/xorg.0.log
[04:14] <felixsulla> I want to add a shortcut to terminal, but I want it to start in a specific folder. I can edit menu, add command gnome-terminal, but how do I make it show up in a specific folder?
[04:14] <sebsebseb> cdm10: ,but yes he has 8GB so I woudn't recommend he put  KDE4 on which is yucky anyway, and what comes in the Ibex repo
[04:14] <bernz> sebsebseb, i figure a lot of people are migrating from windows, so i'll mention handy stuff that sounds similar "e.g. "shortcuts"), but point taken :-)
[04:14] <storbeck> felixsulla: What do you mean?
[04:14] <sebsebseb> cdm10: however some of it's apps shoudn't take up that much space
[04:14] <brutus> ziroday, I have no clue
[04:14] <storbeck> You said two different things
[04:14] <brutus> ziroday, which one should I remove?
[04:14] <clayg> sweet lspci seemed to be easiest for me to understand looks like i have a "Intel 3945ABG"
[04:14] <conorcaplice> Storbeck: Just happened, but It has connected though moving painstakingly slowly, still madwifi to fix it?
[04:14] <ziroday> brutus: right, can you remove the bottom one please.
[04:14] <storbeck> Do you want to make a "shortcut" or do you want the terminal to start in a specific folder?
[04:14] <felixsulla> Say I want a terminal to open in my home folder
[04:14] <felixsulla> I want to make a terminal that opens in my home folder
[04:14] <storbeck> conorcaplice: madwifi is the main driver for intel based chips
[04:14] <azlon_> lol
[04:15] <ziroday> brutus: err just comment out the bottom driver, screen and monitor parts that have # in them
[04:15] <ziroday> brutus: basically the last three sections
[04:15] <conorcaplice> alright, thanks, im going to move my desktop and try and install them.
[04:15] <storbeck> felixsulla: Run this in a terminal: echo "cd ~" >> ~/.bashrc
[04:15] <ziroday> brutus: am I making sense?
[04:16] <felixsulla> Can I make it so the terminal automatically opens in ~
[04:16] <felixsulla> Or one specific shortcut, rather?
[04:16] <storbeck> felixsulla: Do what I said
[04:16] <brutus> ziroday, Yeah, I did it- left our the ServerFlags section though...
[04:16] <felixsulla> I want to leave the default terminal alone.
[04:16] <ziroday> brutus: thats fine, can you save and then restart xorg
[04:16] <storbeck> felixsulla: Tell me what you're exactly trying to do
[04:16] <storbeck> You keep switching your goal around
[04:16] <felixsulla> Heh, not trying to.
[04:17] <felixsulla> I want to make a new item in applications, that is a terminal shorcut, but I want that terminal to open inside my home folder.
[04:17] <glandon> ok this is probably going to sound like a lame question, but i know there is a way to do it i just dont know how. does anyone know how to compile an install disk of ubuntu that is basically a compilation of everything that i currently have installed in my operating system?
[04:17] <brutus> ziroday, ok, I'll just get back after doing so....
[04:17] <sebsebseb> bernz: I know you just tried to help, but maybe you put him off Ubuntu
[04:17] <ziroday> brutus: I'll wait :)
[04:17] <ziroday> !aptoncd | glandon
[04:18] <glandon> this will include the OS as well
[04:19] <Scunizi> glandon: to create an install disk and not use aptoncd would be tough.. the original live cd is always right at the limit of a cd.. with your extra programs you'd have to go to dvd. and still struggle over the how to's
[04:19] <ziroday> glandon: well you have the normal ubuntu disk and then you aptoncd with all the packages you want.
[04:20] <storbeck> felixsulla: assuming you're using gnome-terminal, add this to your keybind: gnome-terminal --working-directory /
[04:20] <matt> just set up compiz fusion, and i only have two screens
[04:20] <storbeck> oops, change "/" with "~"
[04:20] <ziroday> glandon: perhaps http://www.remastersys.klikit-linux.com/
[04:20] <bernz> sebsebseb, nah, i wouldn't worry about that -- it's the overall useability of the OS that makes it live or die; i'm even frustrated by some "simple" problems, but i'm keen, so it won't stop me... many others are keen like that too :-)
[04:20] <felixsulla> / would do root, gotcha.. thanks storbeck!
[04:20] <sebsebseb> bernz: simple problems? and how long you used
[04:21] <matt> how do you get the four screen cube thing running?
[04:21] <sebsebseb> linux_guy: you need Compiz Fushion installed
[04:21] <sebsebseb> and a good enough graphics card
[04:21] <sebsebseb> !compiz
[04:21] <linux_guy> sebsebseb: its installed
[04:22] <linux_guy> graphics card is pretty good
[04:22] <bernz> sebsebseb, my mobo-bound USB host controllers won't init since initial install; no kernel messages, and i don't understand udev yet, so i don't know where to continue diagnosis -- PCI-based IO card's host cons are working fine, though
[04:22] <sebsebseb> bernz: that didn't sound like a basic issue to me :D
[04:22] <brutus> ziroday, Hey...I rebooted with the changes but it complained that Ubuntu would run in low graphics mode...the same problem as as before
[04:22] <JosephLinkous> So, if I run Aptitude then simply press G, it seems to already have selected a whole bunch of updates I need. Is that right?
[04:22] <felixsulla> storbeck: works like a charm.. Can you tell me how you would have phrased my question, just for reference?
[04:23] <ziroday> brutus: right, yeah remove the -180 drivers
[04:23] <Stonewall> hello, how do i tall what i should put under the driver line to get my GFX card to work?
[04:23] <ziroday> Stonewall: what version of ubuntu?
[04:23] <Stonewall> 8.10
[04:23] <ziroday> brutus: you probably have two versions installed which are conflicting
[04:23] <ziroday> Stonewall: what card?
[04:23] <Stonewall> thats what i'm trying to gather
[04:23] <brutus> ziroday, how do I do that? I installed the 180 driver by running 'sh blahblahblah.run' downloded from the nvidia site
[04:24] <ziroday> Stonewall: what does lspci | grep VGA output?
[04:24] <Scunizi> JosephLinkous: you must have tagged a bunch.. for "updates" I prefer sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:24] <bernz> sebsebseb, exactly -- and yet, XP on the same hardware gets the USB host cons up and running just fine on first install -- these kinds of issues (out-of-box failures) are the big turn-off for potential converts, i'd say ... of course, my experience could be rare
[04:24] <ziroday> brutus: there should be an uninstall script there somewhere. Also this is why we strongly recommend you don't install direct from the nvidia site.
[04:24] <Stonewall> nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP8x
[04:24] <ziroday> Stonewall: thats quite an old card. Do you have the drivers installed?
[04:25] <sebsebseb> bernz: wireless is an issue for many,  but that's, because the hardware manufactures haven't made proper drivers for Linux
[04:25] <Stonewall> no, this system is just installed
[04:25] <Stonewall> there was more
[04:25] <agentbob> how can i get mysql5.1 installed on my ubuntu
[04:25] <Stonewall> nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP8x
[04:25] <ziroday> Stonewall: okay, can you open up System > Administrator > Hardware Drivers, are there any drivers there for you to install?
[04:25] <bernz> sebsebseb, agreed, and wifi itself is still VERY poorly understood by the general public, so that's understandable
[04:25] <brutus> ziroday, Drat...no uninstall script...I just downloaded one single .run file which installed the driver
[04:25] <JosephLinkous> Scunizi: haha. Well, most of these said they were updates (updates X.X to X.Y) and such, but if I were to accidentally install a whole crap load of stuff, is there an easy way to remove it all?
[04:25] <ziroday> brutus: err one sec
[04:26] <sebsebseb> bernz: indeed loads of insecure wireless connections
[04:26] <Stonewall> theres no menu entry called hardware drivers
[04:26] <Scunizi> JosephLinkous: you'd have to know what it was and tag it for uninstallation as far as I know.
[04:26] <ziroday> Stonewall: under System > Administration?
[04:27] <brutus> ziroday, btw, I have nvidia-settings installed and when I run it it says- "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server"
[04:27] <bernz> sebsebseb, on the plus side, i'm one of those who will pursue this problem (USB failure) until it's working, and then post results somewhere -- there are sure to be at least a few others with the same mobo trying ubuntu sooner or later
[04:27] <speedcore> Hi I need a good channel for ubuntu admins?
[04:27] <garou> Hi. After dist-upgrading to jaunty I have problems with my ATI Radeon HD4850 and its proprietary drivers, but, well, I'd really like to work with OpenGL. This is the problem: http://rafb.net/p/jvetbU33.html
[04:27] <JosephLinkous> Scunizi: That kinda sucks that there's no log file somewhere that keeps track of aptitude sessions
[04:27] <Stonewall> ziroday: yea, i should have mentioned that this started as an installation of kubuntu 8.10 >.>
[04:27] <ziroday> brutus: yeah, because you have two nvidia drivers installed, they're conflicting
[04:27] <Conor1313> can anyone tell me which repo has madwifi?
[04:27] <bullgard4> What data does evolution-data-server provide (to other programs)?
[04:27] <Daft_Punk> garou, #ubuntu+1 is for jaunty
[04:27] <Stonewall> i may have missed something...
[04:27] <cmrn> Hi. I wanted to try the netbook remix for ubuntu, so I decided to try to install gnome. I install the package ubuntu-desktop, but when I try to log in to a gnome session it loads the cursor and wallpaper but nothing else. I was installing gnome from xubuntu
[04:27] <ziroday> bullgard4: its the address book
[04:27] <ziroday> bullgard4: it provides contact information
[04:28] <Scunizi> JosephLinkous: there might be.. or another way of referencing it. I just never went there.
[04:28] <sebsebseb> bernz: yeah and  one day you could get proper suppourt from that motherboard manufacture, in the mean time they will ignore Linux, and say it don't have enough market share, so they won't suppourt it with drivers
[04:28] <ziroday> Stonewall: right, do you have ubuntu-desktop installed?
[04:28] <Stonewall> lemme check
[04:28] <cmrn> how do I get gnome-panel and company to load?
[04:28] <JosephLinkous> Scunizi: But hey, Linux cleanly removes things, even big stuff, right? I'm tired of this Windoze crap where uninstalling leaves an unsightly residue in the form of orphan files, folders, and registry keys
[04:29] <garou> Daft_Punk: What *is* #ubuntu+1? I can't really find anything helpful on Google and nothing with apt-cache search.
[04:29] <agentbob> are there any recommended ways to install mysql 5.1 on ubuntu?
[04:29] <donavan01> Im looking for a media player that works, is lightweight and can handle any video type (with the right codecs of course)  any suggestions (its going on my Eee pc)
[04:29] <bernz> sebsebseb, well, that's why there must be people who will dig at this out of curiosiity (and there will be, even if it's not me or you)... it's just a matter of time; i think even microsoft knows the cat's out of the bag
[04:29] <ziroday> brutus: okay according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual#Uninstalling%20the%20Driver you should do sudo sh NVIDIA* --uninstall in the same dir as the .run file
[04:30] <Stonewall> ziroday: no i do not
[04:30] <sebsebseb> bernz: maybe something about it on ubuntuforums.org
[04:30] <Scunizi> JosephLinkous: yep.. sometimes there are personal configuration files left in you /home directory but they are prefaced with a . so they are hidden. ls -la will show them or ls -a
[04:30] <Cpudan80> !vlc | donavan01
[04:30] <ziroday> Stonewall: okay, thats why. Can you install the jockey-gtk package please
[04:30] <Cpudan80> arg
[04:30] <garou> !#ubuntu+1
[04:30] <bernz> sebsebseb, the insane amount of improvements resulting in ubuntu since my first random stabbings at slackware in the 90s are jaw-dropping
[04:30] <sebsebseb> bernz: MS LOL   the amount of stuff they been able to get away with, since they had most of the market, but the times are changing slowly,  and as time goes by more Desktop Linux users :)
[04:30] <cmrn> I wanted to try the netbook remix for ubuntu, so I decided to try to install gnome. I install the package ubuntu-desktop, but when I try to log in to a gnome session it loads the cursor and wallpaper but nothing else. I was installing gnome from xubuntu.
[04:30] <cmrn> help?
[04:31] <sebsebseb> bernz: and I like to help noobs get set up nicely with  Ubuntu,  so cover the basics.  VNC tunneled over SSH yeah
[04:31] <donavan01> cpudan80 ... I was thinking about VLC just wasnt too sure how big it was
[04:31] <Cpudan80> donavan01: hmmm let's find out
[04:31] <bullgard4> ziroday: I believe that it is not only the address book. At least one Ubuntu developer told me that evolution-data-server does provide more data than that, for example it provides deadlines. So the list of data provided is longer (it comprises more than one entry which you suggested).
[04:31] <Cpudan80> !info vlc
[04:31] <Cpudan80> donavan01: 3MB installed
[04:31] <donavan01> nice
[04:32] <JosephLinkous> Now, I gotta get me a good C++, C# or Java compiler so I can develop programs remotely
[04:32] <brutus> ziroday, Hey thanks! I uninstalled it...Should I try restarting xserver now?
[04:32] <sebsebseb> bernz: if we can win the not so technical  computer users over to Desktop Linux :D
[04:32] <ziroday> bullgard4: well in theory e-d-s can do alot of things. It uses dbus to communicate.
[04:32] <Cpudan80> they should really drop totem ... and just use VLC in the default install
[04:32] <Stonewall> ziroday: done
[04:32] <anatashinu__> hello?
[04:32] <ziroday> brutus: yep you can do it with ctrl+alt+bkspace
[04:32] <donavan01> cmrn ... what kind of netbook
[04:32] <sebsebseb> anatashinu__: hi
[04:32] <cmrn> eeepc1000h
[04:32] <ziroday> Stonewall: now type in jockey-gtk
[04:32] <brutus> ziroday, brb :)
[04:32] <anatashinu__> Hi I'm having troubles with wifi on my new laptop
[04:32] <Scunizi> Cpudan80: the problem with that is the non-free codecs in vlc
[04:32] <anatashinu__> lenovo 3000 n500 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4421652&Sku=T71-15404
[04:32] <sebsebseb> bernz: what were we just talking about, and now there's someone with one of those issues
[04:32] <anatashinu__> ubuntu 8.10
[04:33] <Stonewall> ok, i got the hardware manager and found the driver, activate it?
[04:33] <Cpudan80> Scunizi: oh ... right, forgot about that
[04:33] <donavan01> cmrn ... are you just trying to get a small build on you system or are you trying to do something specific
[04:33] <sebsebseb> anatashinu__: ok this is a start
[04:33] <sebsebseb> !wireless
[04:33] <bullgard4> ziroday: Why is it necessary to provide the contact information through the evolution data server? Why can the Evolution (client) not read simply directly the address books?
[04:33] <anatashinu__> !wireless
[04:33] <sancho21_> I'm afraid there is a bug related to firefox in 8.10. Ubuntu eat all my swap and memory
[04:33] <Cpudan80> !wifi | anatashinu__
[04:34] <ziroday> bullgard4: because not only evolution uses the contact info, its designed so that other apps can query it.
[04:34] <sancho21_> after many hours passed
[04:34] <Stonewall> ziroday:  ok, i got the hardware manager and found the driver , activate it?
[04:34] <ziroday> Stonewall: yep
[04:34] <scribawf> !2700
[04:35] <bohemian> hi everyone
[04:35] <sebsebseb> bohemian: hi
[04:35] <bohemian> anyone knows of a good web content filtering
[04:35] <anatashinu__> Theres probably something in there about my problem, but I dont know
[04:35] <BSG> No kidding, the cam just shuts off after a few secods now
[04:35] <anatashinu__> It just wont let me connect.
[04:35] <anatashinu__> I have the password correct
[04:35] <anatashinu__> Just tells me to reenter pass
[04:35] <cmrn> donavan01: I had xubuntu up and running, and I installed "ubuntu-desktop" from Synaptic.  When I restart and choose gnome for my session, I only get the wallpaper
[04:36] <bohemian> one that can block porn and malicious sites and limit downloads
[04:36] <Scunizi> bohemian: openDNS  free .. internt side..  www.opendns.com or .org I forgot.
[04:36] <Stonewall> is the last part of this supposed to take forever?
[04:36] <bohemian> hi sebsebseb
[04:36] <Conor1313> can someone tell me which repositiory i need to install wadwifi?
[04:36] <bullgard4> ziroday: I do not understand: A config file can be read by many programs if necessary. Why cannot be read an address book by other application programs as well, without the intermediary evolution-data-server?
[04:36] <koshari> Conor1313 you mean madwifi
[04:36] <anatashinu__> is there some program I need to use wifi?
[04:36] <Conor1313> right, sorry
[04:36] <bohemian> Scunizi:  i don't have a dedicated ip, will that work?
[04:36] <sebsebseb> anatashinu__: depends
[04:36] <brutus> ziroday, hmm...I rebooted but no luck...I tried glxgears, but that gave- "Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual"
[04:36] <anatashinu__> depends on what?
[04:37] <ziroday> bullgard4: I don't know that far into depth, you might want to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:37] <sebsebseb> anatashinu__: you might need madwifi or  ndiswrapper
[04:37] <TaG^> ok.. I am running xp run now .. i input the ubuntu .. which option do i chose -->Demo and Full installation  or Inside inside Windows?
[04:37] <sebsebseb> !ndiswrapper
[04:37] <Stonewall> ziroday: thanks, gotta reboot
[04:37] <anatashinu__> ok I'll try those and get back to you
[04:37] <bullgard4> ziroday: Ok, thank you very much for answering.
[04:37] <Scunizi> bohemian: yes.. if you have a router you simply enter the dns addresses for opendns and away you go.. you need to sign up and once you do that you can tweek the level of filtering..
[04:37] <nomasteryoda> if you can make it work with the madwifi, that is the way to go
[04:37] <sebsebseb> anatashinu__: well
[04:37] <nomasteryoda> will be faster
[04:37] <sebsebseb> anatashinu__: not as simple as just that
[04:38] <sebsebseb> anatashinu__: first of all you need to know about the wireless device that you have,  to find out if you need a driver for it or not
[04:38] <donavan01> cmrn: sounds like a bad install ... was this fresh out of the box install (anything on it)  if so then try eeebuntu BSG(user on here) just told me about it and it seems to work great and the base install only took up 2.2 gbs on my SSD
[04:38] <TaG^> ok.. I am running xp run now .. i input the ubuntu .. which option do i chose -->Demo and Full installation  or Inside inside Windows?
[04:38] <anatashinu__> Oh
[04:38] <sebsebseb> TaG^: don't install it from XP
[04:38] <bohemian> Scunizi: thanks i'll try that, by the way have you used dansguardian?
[04:38] <anatashinu__> well let me find out
[04:38] <sebsebseb> TaG^: boot the computer from the Live CD
[04:38] <anatashinu__> It was built in to the computere
[04:39] <ziroday> brutus: ack, can you pastebin your xorg.conf and /var/log/xorg.0.log please
[04:39] <cmrn> donavan01: I was installing gnome from xfce, OK?
[04:39] <brutus> ziroday, just a sec
[04:39] <Scunizi> bohemian: tried.. If you only have one machine in the house and that's all the kids use.. great. but not easy to maintain.
[04:39] <cmrn> 80gb HDD, so space != issue
[04:39] <Scunizi> brb
[04:39] <TaG^> sebsebseb how much space u need?
[04:39] <donavan01> crmn: go private
[04:40] <anatashinu__> 802.11b/g Wireless Networking
[04:40] <anatashinu__> is that it?
[04:40] <sebsebseb> TaG^: I would say about 20GB for /   and  do a seperate home partition,  but of course you don't know what I mean yet
[04:40] <sebsebseb> !install
[04:40] <jplever> long time ubuntu user here, does anyone have any suggestions to solve sudden sound failure? Have checked settings and restarted alsa and am at a complete loss
[04:41] <bohemian> Scunizi: i'm setting this on a coffee shop as free service with a single computer and wifi access
[04:41] <JosephLinkous> Question: How exactly do I select things to download in Aptitude?
[04:41] <JosephLinkous> I pressed enter on something, but it brought up a large information page about it
[04:41] <TaG^> sebastien i only have 5gig with xp on it..
[04:41] <sebsebseb> TaG^: 16GB  would be good for /
[04:41] <sebsebseb> TaG^: what about the rest of the hard disk?
[04:41] <keres> does the ubuntu repository have an apt-get for python 3.0.1?
[04:42] <brutus> ziroday, here's the log file: http://pastebin.com/d76c6d1ff
[04:42] <Iceman_B^Ltop> bed time
[04:42] <sebsebseb> keres: probably not
[04:42] <anatashinu__> I think I have a "802.11b/g Wireless Networking" for a wireless device.  How do I find out if I need drivers?
[04:42] <TaG^> on c:\ drive xp and 5 gig free...
[04:42] <jeffwheeler> What version of Java does GJC-4.3 roughly correlate to? E.g., will it have generics, etc.?
[04:42] <sebsebseb> TaG^: Ubuntu should have more than 5GB  altough a clean install would only take up about 1GB
[04:43] <brutus> ziroday, and here's my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/md138aa3
[04:43] <sebsebseb> anatashinu__: maybe you can find out on ubuntuforums.org as well as wait for someone that  can help you properly,  I can't
[04:43] <panesar_sandeep> tag^, if u just wish to try ubuntu, there's a better option where u wudn't have to touch the original partitions
[04:43] <Scunizi> bohemian: i'd use opendns.. easier
[04:43] <sebsebseb> panesar_sandeep: indeed I was thinking about telling him about vm
[04:43] <sebsebseb> I woudn't recommend wubi
[04:43] <TaG^> sebsebseb when i instll will it delete my xp?
[04:43] <sebsebseb> TaG^: not if you dual boot
[04:44] <sebsebseb> TaG^: ,but by what your telling me you don't have enough free space to make a good dual boot
[04:44] <panesar_sandeep> sebsebseb, i was going for the same, sunvxm :)
[04:44] <keithclark> My CD drive no longer works on my laptop, and it will not boot from usb.  Is there a way to install Ubuntu over the current PCLinuxOS installation just over the network?
[04:44] <sebsebseb> panesar_sandeep: indeed  Virtualbox
[04:44] <ziroday> brutus: and what does sudo nvidia-settings do?
[04:44] <panesar_sandeep> sebsebseb, :)
[04:44] <Decepticon> in crontab, this is every 1:30 hrs ? 30 */1 * * * rsync ... if it is then i dont understand why i have two concurrent rsync processes running (transferring the same LARGE file). is it my bandwidth limitations thats causing the transfer to be in progress, and thus not appear as the actual file on the remot dir, causing rsync to retransfer it, hence lauching a 2nd process?
[04:44] <TaG^> panesar_sandeep so what do i do?
[04:45] <brutus> ziroday, gives me a dialog box saying- "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. "
[04:45] <TaG^> sebsebseb how much space do i need?
[04:45] <jeffwheeler> Decepticon: the */1 can be simplified to just *
[04:45] <TaG^> for dual boot?
[04:45] <jplever> Does anyone have any suggestions to solve sudden sound failure? Have checked settings and restarted alsa and am at a complete loss
[04:45] <Decepticon> jeffwheeler i guess, but it doesnt address my question
[04:45] <sebsebseb> TaG^: how big is your hard disk?
[04:45] <Conor1313> Hello, Which repository do i need to add to install madwifi>
[04:45] <jeffwheeler> Decepticon: I know; but then it appears that it's running every thirty minutes, not 1:30 hours, right?
[04:45] <ziroday> brutus: argh, can you reinstall nvidia-glx-new. And I have to run sorry
[04:45] <Decepticon> jeffwheeler thats correct, its somewhat misleading to me
[04:46] <ia> hello. If i use ubuntu at lpia arch (netbook with intel atom), then where and what I should write, that apt can download in first turn lpia-packages, and only if some package doesn't exist in lpia version, apt can download package for 386?
[04:46] <brutus> ziroday, oh ok, thanks a lot for your help anyways
[04:46] <TaG^> sebsebseb 7gig on c:\ and 3gig on d:\
[04:46] <panesar_sandeep> tag^, install sun virtualbox from sun.com, then create a virtual machine, 10 gb variable virtual hard disk, and install any flavour of linux to try it inside your windows os, and run it from inside windows.
[04:46] <sebsebseb> TaG^:  not just free space, how big is the hard disk over all
[04:47] <Stonewall> ziroday: i am back
[04:47] <ce_niez> hay
[04:47] <sebsebseb> ce_niez: ni
[04:47] <sebsebseb> hi
[04:48] <sebsebseb> TaG^: 40GB hard disk?  how big is it?
[04:48] <sebsebseb> panesar_sandeep: or he could just boot the computer from Live CD to try :d
[04:48] <TaG^> sebsebseb 7gig on c:\ and 3gig on d:\
[04:48] <TaG^> 10 gig
[04:49] <sebsebseb> TaG^: I don't think anyone has a 10GB hard disk???????  unless it's a really old hard disk
[04:49] <TaG^> with 2 partition
[04:49] <TaG^> it's a laptop
[04:49] <panesar_sandeep> sebsebseb, dats the best idea of all....
[04:49] <TaG^> old laptop
[04:49] <panesar_sandeep> tag^, how much ram??
[04:49] <sebsebseb> panesar_sandeep: depends LOL,  I though the Live CD was  idot profe, but then a guy  installed it instead of trying
[04:49] <sebsebseb> panesar_sandeep: on a lap top, and got wireless issues
[04:50] <Decepticon> which of these processes is older/newer, i want to kill the newer process because theyre both rsyncing the same file twice... http://pastebin.ca/1349319
[04:50] <cconstantine> hi all, I'm trying to add a drive to my /etc/fstab and it appears that I need to use device IDs instead of a /dev path (/dev/sda1 for example)  how do I go about figuring out what the device id is fora  given drive?
[04:50] <sebsebseb> panesar_sandeep: right moaner I was helping him out.  had loads of moaning,  long story,  got him set up nicely now with Ubuntu on another computer though
[04:50] <panesar_sandeep> sebsebseb, hmmm
[04:50] <donavan01> anyone out there using EEEbuntu ... got a question on the config program
[04:50] <panesar_sandeep> tag^, how much RAM ??
[04:50] <TaG^> sebastien PIII 542MHZ 128MB
[04:51] <sebsebseb> panesar_sandeep: ,but if he understands what the word try means,  I guess Live CD will be alright
[04:51] <BSG> Is there a reason my mic stays on mute in the recording settings no matter if I turn it on or off
[04:51] <sebsebseb> TaG^: oh only 128MB RAM interesting
[04:51] <TaG^> it's a IBM ThinkPad T20
[04:52] <sebsebseb> panesar_sandeep: he has 128MB RAM,  later versions of Ubuntu won't even boot from Live CD with that, unless a 512MB or so swap partition is already on there.  something I leant last year, when helping someone get Ubuntu on an old computer
[04:52] <Conor1313> Can someone tell me which repository i need to add to get Madwifi from synaptic?
[04:52] <sebsebseb> panesar_sandeep: also Virtualbox is out, because that needs at least 256MB RAM
[04:52] <panesar_sandeep> sebsebseb, hmmm
[04:52] <sebsebseb> TaG^: see my two messages above to that other guy
[04:53] <TaG^> yes..
[04:53] <maged> Hello i have a little problem and its even worse that im new to linux
[04:53] <TaG^> my comptuer is to old..
[04:53] <BSG> I figured it out nm
[04:53] <sebsebseb> TaG^: no it's not
[04:53] <sebsebseb> maged: what's the problem?
[04:53] <TaG^> so there is no way to do the aircrack think on this laptop?
[04:53] <panesar_sandeep> sebsebseb, he can try lighter flavours of linux like sidlite
[04:53] <panesar_sandeep> tag^, you can try lighter flavours of linux like sidlite
[04:53] <sebsebseb> TaG^: puppy Linux and stuff yeah
[04:54] <panesar_sandeep> tag^, you can try lighter flavours of linux like sidlite
[04:54] <sebsebseb> TaG^: ,but you can probably have the latest version of Ubuntu on there to,  just need a 512MB  or so swap partition on there first
[04:54] <bhavu> hi guys
[04:54] <sebsebseb> TaG^: which is created using the Gparted Live CD in your case
[04:54] <Decepticon> help, i have a rsync command run to transfer files from A to B, but cron runs it every 1:30 hrs, and sometimes thats not enough time to have transfered everything to B, so i end up with 2 rsync processes within 3 hours all transfering the same file cause it hasnt finished reaching there with the original rsync process
[04:54] <panesar_sandeep> maged, wats the prob...
[04:54] <sebsebseb> TaG^: oh old graphics card, probably best to go for Hardy Heron when it comes to Ubuntu on that old computer
[04:54] <vladuz976> keep getting error that Assembly:   Mono.Addins not found. but i have the package installed. does anybody know if I need to define separate variables?
[04:54] <bhavu> I want to turn off the master volume when I connect earphone to my laptop
[04:55] <panesar_sandeep> maged, wats the prob...
[04:55] <daniel9873> i just installed ubuntu and its working perfectly
[04:55] <TaG^> sebsebseb would able to run on 128mb of ram?
[04:55] <usser> Decepticon, run it every 2 hours then, theres not much you can do. if thats how long it takes then its how long it takes
[04:55] <shine^girlz> you are never walk alone
[04:55] <sebsebseb> TaG^: with the correct distro,  or this  swap partition already on the hard disk trick that I know about.    Desktop Linux  breaths  life into old hardware including computers with 128MB RAM
[04:55] <Decepticon> varaible amount of time
[04:55] <Decepticon> theres no predictability
[04:55] <TaG^> sebsebseb would Ubuntu able to run on 128mb of ram?
[04:55] <usser> Decepticon, you can of course write a script that checks if rsync is running already and don start the second instance
[04:55] <Decepticon> best solution given to me was to use a pid file or to check if rsync is running
[04:55] <sebsebseb> TaG^: Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 yes
[04:56] <daniel9873> try xubuntu for 128 mbs
[04:56] <sebsebseb> daniel9873: I know for a fact that Hardy Heron  with 128MB RAM is possible
[04:56] <BornOnFire> alguna mina rica?
[04:56] <sebsebseb> Ubuntu hary
[04:56] <daniel9873> what chanel is shipit
[04:56] <nadiela> haiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[04:56] <TaG^> sebsebseb do u have the link for my to dl that?
[04:56] <panesar_sandeep> maged, your prob pls, we'll try 2 resolve it
[04:57] <sebsebseb> TaG^: you have to burn your own CD  for Gparted first if you want Hardy Heron on there
[04:57] <maged> I installed reinstalled xp  and Im trying to create the grub for a dual boot but i get this message,
[04:57] <maged>   Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no
[04:57] <maged>  Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... no
[04:57] <maged> if im not mistake Dont I have to log in my account first?
[04:57] <FloodBot2> maged: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:57] <usser> Decepticon, here something like this http://pastebin.com/f362409f4

[04:57] <Stonewall> , general Q: how do i set up ssh?
[04:57] <daniel9873> oh

[04:58] <usser> Decepticon, err change the line with if to if [ $rsync != "" ] ; then
[04:58] <daniel9873> becouse i have a question about shiptit
[04:58] <sebsebseb> shipit.ubuntu.com   I think
[04:58] <hmw> where are the thumbnails of the desktop backgrounds stored, i mean the ones, you see in the "Appearance Preferences" window (change desktop background). Some "thumbnail factory" keeps crashing.
[04:58] <BSG> No, no I didn't solve my problem.  For some reason, the mic button keeps staying muted
[04:58] <sebsebseb> you can ask questions  to do with it using your launchpad acocunt I think
[04:58] <BSG> No matter what
[04:58] <Decepticon> gotcha
[04:58] <sebsebseb> TaG^: ok
[04:58] <daniel9873> i have orded a shipit 1 ubuntu cd how long does it take to receive it in australia
[04:59] <jimmio> Hello my Ubuntu friends. Is there a way to force an application to start maximized? The application Blender in the repository has a Blender (Windowed) and it does nothing except start fullscreen...
[04:59] <sebsebseb> TaG^: need some help getting the CD's burnt and all that?

[04:59] <TaG^> sebsebseb what do i have to burn now?
[04:59] <usser> Decepticon, no
[04:59] <sebsebseb> daniel9873: use the offical site
[05:00] <sebsebseb> ubuntu.com
[05:00] <daniel9873> ok
[05:00] <daniel9873> no that site is to order ubuntu cds
[05:00] <sebsebseb> TaG^: you have to do something special first to the hard disk as well
[05:00] <Conor1313> hello, can someone tell me how to install madwifi?
[05:00] <sebsebseb> TaG^: put a swap already on it before the Live CD for Hardy wil even boot on 128MB RAM
[05:00] <Extreme_b> hi guys, will like to enquire if ubuntu 8.04 server supports external hard disk
[05:00] <Extreme_b> ?
[05:01] <usser> Decepticon, not on linux at least
[05:01] <sebsebseb> TaG^:   have you partitioned before?
[05:01] <jimmio> Extreme_b: What kind of external harddisk? Most likely yes.
[05:01] <TaG^> sebsebseb with parition magic
[05:01] <MarkJones> Does anyone know if there are any audio editing apps for Ubuntu/Linux that can create ACID audio loops?
[05:01] <Decepticon> usser i asked on #debian, they told me that it would catch itself as well, so i must use pgrep instead
[05:01] <sebsebseb> TaG^: PM me  and i'll explain stuff properly
[05:02] <TaG^> sebsebseb i how to do something brb in 20 min okk..
[05:02] <Extreme_b> jimmio: a 300 gb hard disk.. cos i tried plucking in mine to the usb .. and went to command prompt and keyed in /media .. then dir .. and i dun see it
[05:02] <usser> Decepticon, hm, i tried to run it, it doesnt list itself
[05:02] <sebsebseb> TaG^: ok PM me when your back
[05:02] <vertigo> is endtrace and then crash on boot mean my ram is messed up
[05:02] <mib_j3qvaj> compiz help needed with the burn effect
[05:03] <usser> Decepticon, but you're right, pgrep is the way to go
[05:03] <mib_j3qvaj> i have amd64 arch
[05:03] <TaG^> ok..
[05:03] <usser> Decepticon, i wasnt aware of its existence. the guys in #debian are right
[05:03] <Decepticon> usser i suppose
[05:03] <Decepticon> i hope its the same syntax
[05:03] <Conor1313> Can anyone tell me what the main ubuntu repository is that I can get Madwifi from?
[05:04] <usser> Decepticon, yea
[05:04] <sebsebseb> Conor1313: you need to get from website for latest version
[05:04] <aliensplooge> So, I have vista installed on one partition of a striped (matrix raid) raid 0, two 160GB drives split up 100gb and 220gb, and when I try to install Ubuntu doesn't recongnize the raid, just shows the two drives seperately (160gb each), one 3/4 full the other emtpy, any thoughts?
[05:04] <Conor1313> sebsebseb: I cant use synaptic?
[05:05] <redvamp128> Conor1313:  you could enable multiverse -- then look in synaptic package manger- also you could try packages - Ubuntu -- Package Search Results -- madwifi <http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=madwifi&amp;searchon=names&amp;suite=all&amp;section=all>
[05:05] <tritium> Conor1313: do you need the latest?  If not, a recent version is installed by default.
[05:05] <usser> Decepticon, also i forgot to terminate if, add one more line "fi" without quotes
[05:05] <Conor1313> tritium: Im having wifi issues, and was told earlier madwifi would hopefully fix them
[05:06] <BSG> I fixd my audio problem, but I am still having trouble keeping my cam running for more than 5 minutes
[05:06] <Conor1313> my problem is, when i try to find Madwifi in synaptic nothing shows up
[05:08] <tritium> Conor1313: madwifi is provided in linux-restricted-modules
[05:08] <SEVILLA> can anyone help me with my graphics card  i have an ati Rv250 and my desktop effects dont work
[05:08] <redvamp128> BSG:  I thought that had it-- though possibly could be a site issue then...
[05:08] <Stonewall> how do i set up a remote login?
[05:08] <sebsebseb> Stonewall: why do you want to do that?
[05:08] <Conor1313> tritium: so how would I use it to increase my wireless strength?
[05:08] <Stonewall> so i can ssh into my desktop from laptop
[05:08] <SEVILLA> can anyone help me with my graphics card  i have an ati Rv250 and my desktop effects dont work
[05:09] <sebsebseb> Stonewall: ok you don't need a remote log in
[05:09] <tritium> Conor1313: drivers cannot increase signal strength
[05:09] <sebsebseb> Stonewall: you should be able to SSH into the account that is running
[05:09] <sebsebseb> oh
[05:09] <Stonewall> ohh, ok
[05:09] <sebsebseb> I am thinking remote log in from the  login screen
[05:09] <sebsebseb> I guess you are as well?
[05:09] <Conor1313> tritium: Someone in here told me earlier that madwifi would fix my connection issues, is that not the case?
[05:09] <Stonewall> huh?
[05:09] <sebsebseb> nevermind
[05:09] <Stonewall> tty...
[05:09] <sebsebseb> !ssh
[05:10] <SEVILLA> can anyone help me with my graphics card  i have an ati Rv250 and my desktop effects dont work
[05:10] <tritium> Conor1313: the driver might work better for you, but that's a separate matter from increasing signal strength
[05:10] <sebsebseb> !ati
[05:10] <tritium> Conor1313: which driver are you currently using?
[05:10] <SEVILLA> sebsebseb: yeah its an old dell
[05:11] <Conor1313> tritium: I'm not certian, I believe its Intel and integrated into my desktop. How would I check?
[05:11] <tritium> Conor1313: Intel cards do not use Madwifi.
[05:11] <sebsebseb> SEVILLA: which Ubuntu?
[05:11] <sebsebseb> tritium: I think that guy wants help with getting his wireless set up
[05:11] <SEVILLA> sebsebseb: hardy
[05:11] <tritium> Conor1313: if you need Madwifi, see here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Madwifi.  But, again, Intel cards do *not* use madwifi
[05:11] <redvamp128> BSG:  So it turns the camera on but then it shuts down?
[05:11] <tritium> sebsebseb: obviously
[05:12] <sebsebseb> SEVILLA: hummmmmm not sure you go on that link the bot gave?
[05:12] <cpk1> anyone know how to figure out the code for your keys? IE when I press the left ctrl key its registered as "key 88" or whatever number it actually is
[05:12] <sebsebseb> tritium: yeah obviously, but  he thought he needed madwifi, and I am assuming, because he didn't set up his wireless properly
[05:12] <sebsebseb> and maybe you can help him do that
[05:12] <redvamp128> BSG:  suggestion -- possibly try turning off desktop effects if they are enabled... sometimes that helps
[05:12] <swordlea> hello ,everybody
[05:12] <Conor1313> tritium: My problem is that when i move my desktop to another room, away from my router, it can barely and mostly not at all, pick up wifi. I was told earlier madwifi would fix it, do you have any idea what would
[05:12] <sebsebseb> swordlea: hi
[05:13] <tritium> Conor1313: you need to identify which wireless card/chipset you have, please.
[05:13] <pedro_long> wow
[05:13] <pedro_long> hi :)
[05:13] <sebsebseb> hi
[05:14] <waxhead_> anyone a maths wiz?
[05:14] <panesar_sandeep> there was a query for madwifi, heres a solution, http://madwifi.org/Downloads/0.Howto.Install.Madwifi.txt
[05:14] <swordlea> does anyone meet the problem on installation the skype in ubuntu 8.10 ?
[05:14] <sebsebseb> waxhead_: wrong channel
[05:14] <Conor1313> tritium: Im not quite sure how I do that, is it a terminal command?
[05:14] <waxhead_> why would anyone calculate 9% of a value by using /1.09
[05:14] <sebsebseb> !ot  |  waxhead
[05:14] <panesar_sandeep> waxhead_, out of topic
[05:14] <waxhead_> sebsebseb:  you never know... you shouldn't presume
[05:15] <tritium> Conor1313: please run "lspci", and look for information for your wireless card
[05:15] <waxhead_> right... so people who come to this channel know NOTHING about maths?
[05:15] <panesar_sandeep> waxhead_, value*1.09 - value
[05:15] <tritium> waxhead_: the topic is ubuntu support
[05:15] <swordlea> bye
[05:16] <sebsebseb> !maths
[05:16] <Conor1313> tritium: I'm thinking this is it : "00:1f.2 RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation 82801 SATA RAID Controller (rev 02)" ?
[05:16] <Scunizi> waxhead_: ##math
[05:16] <tritium> Conor1313: no
[05:16] <tritium> Conor1313: another command you can try: "sudo lshw -c network"

[05:24] <dayo_> i think i've asked this before, but can't remember the answer. what is the ubuntu/linux alternative to fruityloops, protools, cubebase and such tools?

[05:30] <libertarian4life> I have a question.
[05:30] <Conor1313> tritium: so what do i do now?
[05:30] <Conor1313> tritium: or can i even do anything?
[05:30] <durt> !ask libertarian4life
[05:31] <BSG> It's already on that
[05:31] <tritium> Conor1313: if it can wait until tomorrow night, I can help you, but I need to go for now.
[05:31] <durt> !ask | libertarian4life
[05:31] <Conor1313> tritium: allright thank you
[05:31] <libertarian4life> Ive Just reinstalled Ubuntu 8.10, I have updated it all.. When I go to minimize, it wont minimize to my bottom panel..
[05:31] <tritium> Conor1313: sure.  Good night.
[05:31] <Conor1313> tritium: good night
[05:31] <libertarian4life> the only way to access what ive minimized is to alt+tab and the like.
[05:31] <azlon> how do i unmount a drive?
[05:32] <azlon> unmount sda1?
[05:32] <azlon> !unmount
[05:32] <durt> libertarian4life: is there a bottom panel?
[05:32] <libertarian4life> yes... Bottom panel is blank. Top panel has the normal app/places/system
[05:32] <durt> azlon: umount
[05:32] <Swistaczek> Hello, anybody here ;-)?
[05:33] <azlon> !umount
[05:33] <Anacranom> !umount
[05:33] <sebsebseb> Swistaczek: yep
[05:33] <durt> libertarian4life: panel chooser?
[05:33] <redvamp128> libertarian4life:  try this -- right click on the bottom panel-- then choose add to panel - window list (and I hate to do this but it is late) I hope that works for you.
[05:34] <Swistaczek> I have got simple question: I forgot repo url for my ubuntu/debian. In this repo I had only things that are needed to setup webserver. I could find there precompiled php with sushosin etc.
[05:34] <Swistaczek> any body know what repo I have in my mind?
[05:34] <libertarian4life> thats it :P//
[05:34] <azlon> can i umount a drive and easily mount it again? i want to make an image of it, but i dont know if any harm will come from umount
[05:34] <libertarian4life> thanks... I hate when my brain farts... must be the margarittas :)
[05:35] <durt> ole
[05:35] <BigMike> hi I just moved 8 gigs of ext3 and its still telling me the same thing 2.2 free why isnt it updating?
[05:35] <redvamp128> libertarian4life:  the other thing people remove (which they seem to think is the network manager ) is the Notification Area (which is where the network tool is)
[05:36] <Swistaczek> deb http://dotdeb.debian.skynet.be/ stable all
[05:36] <Swistaczek> deb-src http://dotdeb.debian.skynet.be/ stable all
[05:36] <Swistaczek> ok, I have it!
[05:37] <azlon> hrmm
[05:37] <azlon> i booted off a flash drive, now i cant see my primary sda1... how can i find it?
[05:37] <libertarian4life> well, thanks for the help, I can sleep easy now :x
[05:39] <durt> azlon: have a look at dmesg and see if the name changed.
[05:39] <ZeZu> I have an issue that has only happened in the last few updates / days
[05:40] <azlon> durt: is there any way to filter that down to drives?
[05:41] <durt> dmesg | grep sda
[05:41] <ZeZu> Skype and Konsole both suffer the same type of issues,  its a delay in text / console ..  when its entered and return is hit,  it takes a while to appear / happen
[05:41] <ZeZu> if i hit enter a second time, it normally speeds the process in Konsole
[05:41] <ZeZu> it doesn't affect gnome terminal
[05:41] <ZeZu> possibly skype uses a kde library ?
[05:41] <Conor1313> would NDISWRAPPER solve problems of wireless connectivity for me if I lose wireless by going more than a few meters from my router?
[05:42] <azlon> durt: [    5.722564]  sda: sda1 sda2
[05:42] <azlon> when i do df it doesnt display
[05:43] <ZeZu> also my usb phone acts very strange on skype if anyone has heard of anything like that .. the mic works for maybe 10-15secs then no one can hear me anymore
[05:43] <durt> azlon: so it's not mounted?
[05:44] <azlon> durt: first day with ubuntu... if i boot off a live cd, will my physical HDD be mounted?
[05:44] <azlon> i assume its not mounted since its not in df
[05:44] <Swistaczek> Could some one help me with this http://pastie.org/402886 ?
[05:45] <durt> azlon: I would assume not but I don't know for sure.
[05:45] <cpk1> azlon: i dont think it automounts but you can mount it if you want (obviously)
[05:46] <azlon> cpk1: i am trying to make an image of it, so i want to leave it unmounted, right?
[05:46] <cpk1> azlon: if you want to read from the partition you will have to mount it
[05:47] <Meshezabeel> When I play wmv files, I cannot fast forward or rewind them. Any ideas why?
[05:47] <azlon> cpk1: hrmm
[05:48] <cpk1> azlon: is that a problem?
[05:48] <Conor1313> would NDISWRAPPER solve problems of wireless connectivity for me if I lose wireless by going more than a few meters from my router?
[05:48] <CK-TECH> how to set aztech WL635usb wireless adaptor on ubuntu 8.10?
[05:49] <BigMike> i I just moved 8 gigs of ext3 and its still telling me the same thing 2.2 free why isnt it updating?
[05:50] <bohemian> hi
[05:50] <azlon> cpk1: i am using partimage to make the iso... it was able to see the disk even though it isnt mounted, but i cant figure out how to change the destination
[05:50] <bohemian>  is the there an opendns updater for ubuntu? i use dynamic ip
[05:50] <arvind_khadri> hi, i installed debian, i also have ubuntu installed. the problem is that the grub isnt able to boot both of them. for debian it says that filesystem type is fat and for ubuntu it doesnt recognize the fs at all
[05:51] <cpk1> azlon: you are trying to make an image of your hdd or burn the ubuntu iso to disk?
[05:53] <CK-TECH> anyone know how to install wireless adaptor ?
[05:53] <azlon> cpk1: im trying to make an image of my HDD
[05:53] <cpk1> azlon: ok I see, using partimage you could just gzip and then burn it to a cd after doing that
[05:54] <azlon> right, but i want to create the image on an external HDD
[05:54] <azlon> or on an unused partition, but external HDD is prefferable
[05:56] <cpk1> azlon: so you just want to change the output?
[05:56] <CNH> halo....
[05:56] <azlon> yeah
[05:56] <CNH> anybody here....
[05:56] <sebsebseb> CNH: yes
[05:56] <azlon> do i just launch partimage from the directory i want the image stored in?
[05:57] <cpk1> azlon: so before running partimage mount the external hdd if that is where you want to output to and then point partimage to where you mounted the external hdd
[05:57] <Conor1313> I'm sorry to keep asking but, would NDISWRAPPER solve problems of wireless connectivity for me if I lose wireless by going more than a few meters from my router?
[05:57] <cpk1> azlon: do you already know the label for the partition you want to image?
[05:58] <azlon> cpk1: i mounted it, but how do i point partimage... its a old school GUI with no destination section
[05:58] <azlon> uhmm
[05:58] <azlon> cpk1: /media/WD\ Passport
[05:58] <cpk1> Conor1313: most likely not, ndiswrapper tends to be the least effective driver for wireless
[05:58] <kriscolt> can anyone help me with getting samba working...
[05:58] <cpk1> azlon: so thats where you are outputting, looking at partimages docs there should be a section where you put that in
[05:59] <kriscolt> all i'm trying to do is see the shared folders on one of my xp machines
[05:59] <cpk1> azlon: the "image file to create of use" section
[05:59] <Conor1313> cpk1: darn, do you have any thoughts on a solution for losing wireless by traveling a few meters away from my wireless router?
[05:59] <arvind_khadri> hi, i installed debian, i also have ubuntu installed. the problem is that the grub isnt able to boot both of them. for debian it says that filesystem type is fat and for ubuntu it doesnt recognize the fs at all....
[06:00] <BentFranklin> How do I check my DNS on a Kubuntu 8.10 machine?  I can't connect outside my LAN.
[06:00] <cpk1> Conor1313: what wireless chipset are you using?
[06:01] <Conor1313> cpk1: I'm not certian, tritium was trying to help me earlier but he and I couldnt figure it out
[06:03] <Conor1313> cpk1: I think its integrated into the computer? I'm on an HP Pavillion m8724f if that helps at all
[06:03] <cpk1> Conor1313: try "lscpi -v | grep Ethernet" and see if the wireless card is shown, otherwise just do "lspci -v" and search for the card
[06:04] <cpk1> Conor1313: i dont have a wireless card so I dont know what the label for it is to make it easier to find, sorry
[06:04] <Meshezabeel> bohemian: what do you mean an updater for opendns?
[06:05] <azlon> cpk1: now that i downloaded the doc, i can use man partimage?
[06:05] <Conor1313> cpk1: im looking thru the information in the second command you mentioned, the first one kept saying "command not found"
[06:06] <cpk1> Conor1313: my bad, its supposed to be lspci just like in the second one, i made a typo =X
[06:06] <D3RGPS31> I'm about to format my ubuntu x32 machine to x64, any tips?
[06:07] <Conor1313> cpk1: ah, okay got it
[06:08] <Conor1313> cpk1: It comes back with "02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 02)
[06:08] <Conor1313> "
[06:08] <ozzy> hi
[06:08] <kriscolt> anyone here good with samba?
[06:08] <kriscolt> i can't get my xubuntu machine to see shared folders on my xp machine
[06:08] <sebsebseb> !samba
[06:08] <caveman26> I have a dell inspiron 1526, has ATi graphics, I installed flglrx, and it killed my wireless card.. how can a video driver kill a wifi card?
[06:09] <bohemian> Meshezabeel: i use an ISP service with dynamic ip address so it changes ip upon restart, but it should update with opendns to apply my filtering
[06:09] <cpk1> Conor1313: and the E is supposed to be capital
[06:09] <cpk1> Conor1313: thats not the wireless, the wireless ahs a different label, so you will just have to swim through the output of lspci -v to look for the wireless
[06:10] <Conor1313> cpk1: tritium was looking thru it earlier as did I, i dont think it is listed
[06:11] <caveman26> anybody have any idea why video drivers made my wireless stop working? I just dont understand that.. there 2 completely different things
[06:11] <bohemian> Meshezabeel: there's this link to download updater in mac and windows but none for linux....  http://www.opendns.com/support/article/245
[06:11] <cpk1> Conor1313: ok, pastebin the output of "sudo lshw"
[06:12] <kriscolt> sebsebseb: thanks, i'll see if that helps
[06:12] <sebsebseb> ok

[06:20] <sebsebseb> kandjar`: hi
[06:21] <kandjar`> since the last sound update in ubuntu (or one of the latest) it stopped working properly.......
[06:21] <kandjar`> it's really annoying... does anyone here encounter this issue?
[06:21] <kandjar`> hi sebsebseb
[06:21] <Conor1313> cpk1: is it the second to last bit at the bottom?
[06:21] <kriscolt> ..hmm i have no address bar
[06:21] <sebsebseb> kandjar`: you can try this as well top panel
[06:21] <sebsebseb> kandjar`: places network
[06:22] <kriscolt> i did an alt+f2
[06:22] <kandjar`> sebsebseb: ?
[06:22] <sebsebseb> whoops

[06:22] <sebsebseb> kriscolt: above messages for you
[06:22] <kriscolt> then typed the smb:// line
[06:23] <kriscolt> Error: Could not open location 'smb://192.168.1.49'
[06:23] <melik> hey guys can anyone tell me whats wrong with my /etc/fstab? > http://omploader.org/vMWI1bA/pasta
[06:23] <kriscolt> when i try going through the places>network option
[06:23] <melik> it just mounts the first 2 and doesn't mount the last 2
[06:24] <sebsebseb> kriscolt: been a while since I used samba
[06:24] <kriscolt> and i double click the 'windows network' icon it gives me an error saying "smb:///" is not a valid location
[06:24] <kriscolt> i'm not trying to do anything fancy
[06:24] <sebsebseb> kriscolt: and you installed  smb?
[06:24] <kriscolt> yup
[06:24] <kriscolt> i'm running dapper
[06:24] <kriscolt> on an old imac
[06:24] <sebsebseb> is that still suppourted????? dapper?
[06:25] <kriscolt> not officially
[06:25] <sebsebseb> why not upgrade?
[06:25] <kriscolt> but none of the newer releases have ppc support
[06:25] <kandjar`> is there a way to downgrade the sound driver?
[06:25] <sebsebseb> !ppc
[06:25] <sussa> hey guys! I'm using 8.04.2, and an Atheros wifi card. Could someone please tell me how to install madwifi? My connection is very slow.

[06:26] <Brian8MEJ0mnt> I'm about to install 8.10 and dual boot XP, but my partitions are all screwy(http://i43.tinypic.com/2ic5vgg.jpg)... Is there a way to fix them(Merge all the space that wont be used for ubuntu, without losing data) when I install?
[06:26] <sebsebseb> sussa: ok no problem good luck
[06:26] <sebsebseb> !dualboot
[06:27] <Conor1313> cpk1: did you leave me or are you still here?
[06:27] <kriscolt> woah! wtf? it's working...
[06:27] <kriscolt> this makes no sense at all
[06:28] <melik> whats the difference between /media/ and /mnt/
[06:28] <melik> dont they serve the same purpose?
[06:28] <Brian8MEJ0mnt> sebsebseb, if that was directed at me... I know how to dual boot fine, but I've always started from having one partition, my windows one, and then taking space from it, I don't know if/how I can add that empty space back in to another partition
[06:29] <b1n42y> gnu chess needs OpenGl and GTKGLExt support, do i need both and do i install via synaptic?
[06:30] <redwizard26> @brian I have done that before using the Gparted boot cd
[06:30] <sebsebseb> yeah or he can use Ubuntu Live CD
[06:30] <Brian8MEJ0mnt> How would I go about doin it with Ubuntu 8.10 cd? Gonna install Ubuntu, already have CD, might as well use that one :)
[06:31] <redwizard26> I don't know wether the partition editor on the ubuntu live cd would be capable of resizing the partitions
[06:31] <usser> kriscolt, here you go http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/hardy/release/ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-powerpc.iso
[06:31] <kandjar`> how can I install an older version of the sound driver?
[06:31] <hero> owh what is the partition editor name?
[06:31] <b1n42y> !opengl
[06:32] <b1n42y> !OpenGL
[06:32] <b1n42y> pfft
[06:32] <kriscolt> nice!
[06:32] <Brian8MEJ0mnt> gparted is whats on the LiveCD I think
[06:32] <hero> im a new learner
[06:32] <Conor1313> cpk1: any luck?
[06:32] <hero> why is ubuntu very good than other linux?
[06:32] <hero> and windows?
[06:32] <redwizard26> @brian yes it is but its a striped down version
[06:33] <sebsebseb> hero: Ubuntu is very popular, and a good one to start with  and to stay with for most computer users
[06:33] <hero> owh thanks sebsebseb
[06:33] <sebsebseb> hero: ,but there are other  Linux and Unix's that are very good as well
[06:33] <redwizard26> I have never attempted to do it with the ubuntu live disc because I have never looked at it like a repair disc.
[06:34] <sebsebseb> hero: and it's more secure and stable than Windows
[06:34] <hero> owh but sometimes my newly installed ubuntu hang
[06:34] <hero> when playin music
[06:34] <redwizard26> hero might I add that its FREE (as in cost and speech)
[06:34] <sebsebseb> hero: which player and how much RAM?
[06:34] <sebsebseb> hero:  yeah and what redwizard said
[06:35] <dustin> hey guys, im having troubles getting my linux stuff going.. i have downloaded ubuntu multiple times from diff sources to verify, and made 4 discs now and it seems they are all corrupt at like 32% install.
[06:35] <sebsebseb> hero: which version of Ubuntu also?
[06:35] <hero> mplayer
[06:35] <hero> 1gb ram
[06:35] <sebsebseb> hero: ok yeah new Ubuntu users,  heh  indeed you are since mplayer for music
[06:35] <kandjar`> when is the next release planned for?
[06:35] <sebsebseb> kandjar`: end of April
[06:35] <sebsebseb> kandjar`: new releases April and October
[06:35] <sebsebseb> hero: which version of Ubuntu?
[06:35] <hero> yes sebsebseb...but i've installed vlc..
[06:35] <hero> hardy heron
[06:36] <sebsebseb> oh
[06:36] <dustin> is there something im missing thats making all these discs corrupt?
[06:36] <hero> realplaye and m player
[06:36] <cellofellow> If anyone here uses Qalculate!, can they either tell me how to plot a vertical line or point me to a channel or forum where I can have that question answered?
[06:36] <sebsebseb> Banshee Intrepid Ibex verson is good,  and there is a way to add it to Hardy
[06:36] <hero> owh banshee sound interesting
[06:36] <sebsebseb> yeah, but the Hardy version sucks
[06:36] <hero> i will try to download it right now using synaptic
[06:37] <tom760`> i'm running ubuntu.  i want to try some other distros as well to compare with.  can anyone recommend good ones for doing pretty custom setups and development work?
[06:37] <hero> what is bad about hardy?
[06:37] <sebsebseb> nothing
[06:37] <sebsebseb> hero: you got a lot of questions it seems, and this is off topic really, pm me
[06:37] <redwizard26> @dustin I might recomend using Bit Torrent to download it that way you can be sure that there is no error in the download because it is compared to a hash.... and if that is not feasible order some of the free discs through ship it.
[06:37] <kandjar`> hero: tons of stuff
[06:37] <sebsebseb> kandjar`: pulseaudio can be bad in Hardy, but otherwise it's quite good
[06:37] <hero> owh okay sebseb
[06:38] <kandjar`> hero: my sound was working fine in gutsy, my bluetooth mouse was also working fine in gutsy, now they don't work correctly with hardy
[06:38] <usser> tom760`, openSuse, Fedora, debian, archlinux and gentoo. last two use source to install packages and are a little hard for a newbie
[06:38] <sebsebseb> kandjar`: yep gutsy is good
[06:38] <kandjar`> the only thing which work better with hardy for me, is the wifi
[06:38] <hero> oh gutsy i think got a problem with firefox
[06:39] <kandjar`> even my gfx card was working better with gutsy
[06:39] <CartoonCat> hello all
[06:39] <sebsebseb> !ot
[06:39] <hero> it used a lot of resources i think
[06:39] <kandjar`> hero: didnt have any issue with it
[06:39] <sebsebseb> !ot Kandjar
[06:39] <hero> but i do... and with hardy heron its ok
[06:39] <sebsebseb> !ot | Kandjar

[06:40] <Brian8MEJ0mnt> Combo breaker :(
[06:40] <kandjar`> sebsebseb: what's the diff between ubuntu support and ubuntu-related support???
[06:40] <hechu|onsite> somebody know how to access a windows mobile phone's storage?
[06:41] <tom760`> do you guys know what the state of Ubuntu Jaunty is?  i wonder if i should install that on a partition.
[06:41] <CartoonCat> ive got a odd setup here, onboard ATi card, PCI nVidia card. I want to use the nVidia for 3d and the ATi for 2D. I can not seam to get them both active at the same time. I think it is because the fglrx driver is trying to load (but only the nvidia restricted driver is selected)
[06:41] <sebsebseb> kandjar`: well not sure where the mods are, but they would be saying  we were off topic
[06:41] <hechu|onsite> I am using ubuntu 8.10 with newest update.
[06:41] <usser> tom760`, unstable, not recommended for every day usage
[06:41] <kandjar`> sebsebseb: why? because we're saying stuff aren't working with hardy???
[06:41] <tom760`> usser: k.  i'll download all the ones you listed  :)
[06:42] <kandjar`> sebsebseb: each time I ask help about issue encoutner with hardy; no-one answered :P
[06:42] <Kaushal> hi folks

[06:42] <Kaushal> sebsebseb, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarkShuttleworth
[06:42] <hechu|onsite> did anybody knows how to access a windows mobile phone's storage from ubuntu 8.10?
[06:42] <Kaushal> IRC: sabdfl on irc.freenode.net

[06:43] <huwenfeng> i newly installed the Ubuntu 8.04, and i find out that the system is listening on port 631! how can i stop that? anybody give me some help!
[06:44] <usser> huwenfeng, thats cups, printing daemon, point your browser to localhost:631 you'll get config page, it only accepts connections from localhost by default
[06:44] <tom760`> usser: do you know if the kernel and drive developers lean toward a particular distro or two?
[06:44] <b1n42y> huwenfeng: got firewall
[06:45] <o0splitpaw0o> huwenfeng: ill reveal that 631 is the cups printer spooler deamon. In your case, it is only listening on the loopback address so it's not reachable across the network by other computers. In mine, I'be enabled remote printing so it's listening on 0.0.0.0 instead.
[06:45] <usser> tom760`, if anything i'd say kernel developers use gentoo or archlinux, since they're source based or debian
[06:45] <huwenfeng> o0splitpaw0o: so i can not close it ? can i ?
[06:46] <tom760`> ok
[06:46] <usser> huwenfeng, if you dont have a printer you can just kill cups

[06:47] <huwenfeng> o0splitpaw0o: can i do that? or must this be running ?
[06:47] <Chileno_BKN> any bitch for here ??
[06:47] <usser> huwenfeng, or uninstall it altogether
[06:47] <huwenfeng> i think i do not need to print anything.

[06:49] <Aeosynth> how do i clone my laptop display onto my tv? I have the cables and it works in windows
[06:51] <Taldo_Ratone> Aeosynth with correct driver
[06:51] <waylandbill> hello fellow ubunteros.
[06:51] <o0splitpaw0o> Aeosynth: got FN keys on the lappy? hit FN then look at your F keys (F!,F@,F3,,,,) one has to have a pic of a monitor hitting that should rotate displays from single to dual
[06:52] <hechu|onsite> kandjar`, yea. runs with windows mobile 6.1.
[06:52] <Taldo_Ratone> hola amigos
[06:52] <laron> eth0 wont connect after update
[06:52] <kandjar`> id be insterested in too ;) I have a dell axim :)
[06:52] <laron> any ideas?
[06:52] <Aeosynth> o0splitpaw0o: awesome, thanks
[06:53] <laron> auto eth0 will not connect after 8.10 update
[06:53] <laron> worked before hand, updated and now will not work
[06:54] <laron> is this the right channel to be asking this in?
[06:54] <tom760`> Does anyone know if running a core2 duo CPU in 64bit mode improves program compilation performance much over 32bit mode?
[06:55] <crdlb> tom760`: as in the speed of compilation? I would guess so, but not to the same degree as tasks which make heavy use of floating point
[06:55] <waylandbill> laron, yes it is. I've found that I have to run a livecd before a dist-update or sometimes the kernel changes enough to have issues with my hardware. If it is a production system I stick with LTS.
[06:56] <tom760`> crdlb: ok, i'll give 64bit a try.  it really makes a big improvement with floating point stuff?
[06:58] <waylandbill> crdlb, doing some compiles on multiple cores... maybe you'll get a little bit of performance boost from 32-64. It's not going to really make a difference until you seriously number crunch like do some video editing.
[06:58] <anilalur> Hi, how do I change DNS in network manager with DSL connection?
[06:59] <crdlb> waylandbill: did you mean to say that to tom760` ?
[06:59] <waylandbill> crdlb, yes. sorry.
[06:59] <hechu|onsite> did anybody knows how to access/read/write a windows mobile phone's storage from ubuntu 8.10?
[06:59] <tom760`> :)  ok.  it's nice to have an idea what to expect. thanks.
[07:00] <anilalur> I tried changing resolve.conf but it doesnt seem to work
 now that ive updated, what can i do to fix it?
[07:01] <waylandbill> tom760`, don't make me think that 64 bit kind of sucks. I'm on a 64-bit system and love it. I do some intensive stuff though, so you should know what to expect.
[07:01] <usser> anilalur, adjust /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
[07:02] <usser> aniiena, look at prepend lines
[07:02] <bexamous> chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf  :P
[07:03] <bexamous> i hate dhcp changing stuff
[07:03] <bexamous> tho that'd be wrong way do doing things
[07:04] <anilalur> usser: I added opendns in prepend n removed domain-name-server from request
[07:04] <anilalur> still doesnt work
[07:04] <tom760`> waylandbill: i'm looking forward to trying it  :)  i just bought a new hard drive i haven't even opened yet.  now i need to figure out a good partition / os setup.
[07:04] <usser> anilalur, you have to reconnect or rerun dhclient
[07:05] <waylandbill> laron: may not like the answer, but your update was logged to apt and dpkg logs. You may at the worst have to do some rolling back with those logs. First though is that your previous kernel is still there. Grub may still have the entry. You need to boot in the previous kernel and see if that is the issue.
[07:05] <laron> ok
[07:06] <anilalur> usser:OK I even restarted, it still uses the same DNS. is there something else I need to remove from request?
[07:06] <kandjar`> this sounds stuff is really irritating
[07:07] <laron> previous kernel does work
[07:07] <Hacker> does anybody have "Old Vmware Ubuntu images which contains Old version of Apache, mysql, php for pentesting lab pratice"?
[07:07] <Hacker> i really need it
[07:07] <vertigo> if my system  hangs on gnome load after the login screen where can i see the logs on what is happening
[07:07] <usser> anilalur, whats in /etc/resolv.conf your opendns server?
[07:07] <b1n42y> !intel gfx
[07:07] <waylandbill> tom760`, personal preference is / and /home. Enough to hold the system on / and the rest on /home for your data. I put 10. Even now after 8-10 years, 10 gig is plenty for the system. Default install combines the two, but /home has many advantages.
[07:07] <b1n42y> !intel
[07:08] <b1n42y> geesh
 i booted in the previous kernel and I am able to connect

[07:08] <crdlb> b1n42y: what are you looking for?
[07:08] <usser> anilalur, right did those two server show up in /etc/resolv.conf?
[07:09] <b1n42y> crdlb: gnu chess wont play in 3d
[07:09] <waylandbill> laron, I thought that was what was happening. You can hold that kernel with synaptic or other package manager if you use another apt program.
[07:09] <anilalur> usser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/124147/
[07:09] <b1n42y> crdlb: i installed both python packages
[07:09] <usser> anilalur, thats your resolv.conf?
[07:09] <b1n42y> crdlb: so im guessing driver for laptops intel card is dodgy
[07:09] <crdlb> b1n42y: what happens exactly?
[07:10] <anilalur> usser: no, the resolv.conf still has the old server names
[07:10] <usser> anilalur, try putting domain-name-servers back in request
[07:10] <anilalur> usser: thats my dhclient.conf
[07:10] <b1n42y> crdlb: before i installed python libraries it asked me to do so, now it tries to render in 3d and falls back to 2d
[07:10] <waylandbill> laron, I say hold, because we don't control the kernel and the build and modules. You can talk to the packagers/developers, but the best thing to start with is a working system... hence the hold to keep you up and running
[07:11] <Stevethepirate> Whats a good way to securely share all my music so I acccess it [seemingly] natively from another PC... i.e. I want to be able the source as a dir on amarok, not have to download the song I want to listen to via ftp, add to library, listen, delete.
[07:11] <usser> anilalur, right, put domain-name-servers back in request. how do you connect to dsl? using networkmanager?
[07:11] <b1n42y> crdlb: my gfx card isnt crash hot but it should handle this, after all it manages to get scrorched 3d up (not playable though)
[07:11] <crdlb> b1n42y: pastebin the terminal output of glchess
[07:11] <usser> Stevethe1irate, sshfs
thanks, whats the proper way to hold the kernel?
[07:11] <Stevethepirate> !sshfs
[07:11] <Stevethepirate> Ta, let me spam his.
[07:12] <Stevethepirate> *this
[07:12] <b1n42y> crdlb: so i run chess from terminal with 3d marked on ?
[07:12] <anilalur> usser: I put that back n reconnected. resolv.conf still has old DNS
[07:12] <crdlb> b1n42y: erm, when it fails, you will get the error in the terminal output
[07:13] <waylandbill> Stevethepirate: nfs, samba, some sort of networking file system to make the transfers appear seemless.
[07:13] <usser> anilalur, try removing one dns server from prepend line, cause im not sure what the separator between them should be?
[07:14] <usser> anilalur, are u using network manager to connect?
[07:14] <anilalur> usser: yes I use network manager,
whats the proper way to hold a kernel, or where can I find out?
[07:14] <Hacker> does anybody have "Old Vmware Linux images which contains Old version of Apache, mysql, php for pentesting lab pratice". I would really appreciate your help.
[07:14] <waylandbill> laron, Synatic, aptitude, etc.. the package managers give a hold option right in them when you mark the upgradable packages.
[07:14] <Hacker> I'm creating a lab for student
[07:15] <waylandbill> laron, you mark to upgrade, and then select the ones to put on hold. They will recall the hold the next time around.
[07:15] <b1n42y> crdlb: well im not sure how its supposed to output errors to terminal, but anyway i just ran it from terminal and it worked, however as soon as i make a move the screen turns to random coloured pixels the returns to normal
[07:15] <crdlb> b1n42y: are you using compiz?
 thanks, greatly appreciated
[07:15] <waylandbill> laron, obviously, you mark the upgrade but modify it before submitting.
[07:16] <b1n42y> crdlb: not unless its installed by default
[07:16] <crdlb> b1n42y: it is
[07:16] <b1n42y> oh
[07:16] <disappearedng>  my ubuntu can't detect my widescreen any ideas on how I can do so?
[07:16] <Stevethepirate> waylandbill: I think that sshfs is exactly what i want.
[07:16] <b1n42y> crdlb: to turn off appearance or do i need to remove it
[07:17] <Stevethepirate> Secure, transparently mounted, probably fastish.
[07:17] <duxbarak> whenever i try to watch video files, it plays really choppy, i'm running 64-bit 8.10 with an ati video card, help, anyone?
[07:17] <Stevethepirate> But thatnks for offer.
[07:17] <crdlb> b1n42y: due to limitations in Xorg, compositing managers like compiz pretty much break 3d apps with any driver other than nvidia's (which implements everything itself)
[07:17] <crdlb> b1n42y: just disable it in appearance
[07:17] <b1n42y> crdlb: thanks lets see if it works
[07:18] <fuji> nikmatin kebebasan dulu ah . .
[07:18] <b1n42y> crdlb: magic! lol thanks
[07:18] <waylandbill> Stevethepirate: yes. sshfs sounds reasonable. Keep in mind that a peer problem will need you to manually remount the way it was the last time I used it. Would be awesome if it was different since then.
[07:19] <b1n42y> crdlb: so is there an alternative that i can use for eye candy ? and can i still implement a pretty dock, widgets etc
[07:19] <usser> Stevethepirate, sshfs is not fast though, encryption overhead etc
[07:20] <crdlb> b1n42y: no, DRI2 will eventually allow it all to work toegether though
[07:20] <b1n42y> !DRI2
[07:20] <crdlb> -_-
[07:20] <anilalur> usser: changed permission of resolv.conf, the nameserver goes blank, still connected with old DNS
[07:21] <waylandbill> Stevethepirate: usser has a good point too. The gui if you use one could appear hung from the timing of sshfs. Don't know if that would be a concern for you or not
[07:21] <usser> anilalur, im not sure whats going on there sorry. :(
[07:21] <b1n42y> crdlb: composition manager is that for desktop effects, can i still install a dock and widgets?
[07:21] <crdlb> b1n42y: without a compositing manager, the transparency used in both will not work
[07:21] <melik> whats the difference between compositing and a window manager?
[07:21] <anilalur> usser: OK, thanks. I will try with wicd
[07:22] <crdlb> melik: one manages windows, one composites pixmaps (of window contents) together using either XRender or OpenGL
[07:23] <b1n42y> crdlb: when is this DRI2 going to be stable and implemented mainstream?
[07:23] <b1n42y> crdlb: wiki makes little sense to me too technical
[07:23] <disappearedng> hey any1 here uses widescreen with ubuntu
[07:23] <crdlb> melik: compiz does both, and xcompmgr is a simple proof-of-concept that was only a compositing manager
[07:24] <Stevethepirate> waylandbill: Just going to add the mount point to amarok
[07:24] <Sativ1> anyone ever play COD 4 on crossover?
[07:24] <Stevethepirate> so, it will be indexed
[07:24] <Stevethepirate> so, I dont mind a bit of lag
[07:24] <Stevethepirate> O(log(n))
[07:24] <Stevethepirate> or w/e the timing is
[07:24] <Sativ1> or anyone have crossover experience period?
[07:24] <Stevethepirate> Since my music directory is relatively shallow
[07:25] <Stevethepirate> Sativ1: I have.. Its not brilliant
[07:25] <Stevethepirate> But for some things it gets the job don
[07:25] <Stevethepirate> e
[07:26] <Sativ1> well Stevethepirate , i am trying COD 4 and it supposedly works on CrossOver because my friend says he used it and ive checked forums..
[07:26] <usser> Sativ1, dont need crossover for that http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=12804
[07:27] <crdlb> b1n42y: I believe there should be _experimental_ support for intel in jaunty (not enabled by default)
[07:28] <b1n42y> crdlb: ahh cool thanks for that ill keep that in mind for april
[07:29] <b1n42y> crdlb: can i have themes for windows and mouse pointers now?
[07:29] <crdlb> b1n42y: what do you mean?

[07:29] <realsifo> help me
[07:30] <b1n42y> crdlb: windows,*   i guess its a silly question .. works now so ...
[07:30] <waylandbill> Stevethepirate, if it works that is all that matters.
[07:30] <crdlb> b1n42y: can't you set that all in Appearance?
[07:31] <realsifo> how to install nvidia gforce 4 mx in ubuntu?
[07:32] <b1n42y> crdlb: ye i can but im asking if i can add different ones of net
[07:32] <waylandbill> realsifo, there is the ubuntu way on help.ubuntu.com or the nvidia way from nvidia's site. Both work, but look up the differences before trying.
[07:32] <disappearedng> where is the file xorg.conf?
[07:32] <wartalker> join #ubuntu-cn
[07:32] <b1n42y> crdlb: anyway thanks, that compiz screwing with 3d and other things like screen redraw, that was annoying so thanks for letting me know about that
[07:33] <Stevethepirate> disappearedng: /etc/X11/xorg.conf

[07:48] <crdlb> zs: hmm, everything looks ok; I don't know why it's not working
[07:48] <crdlb> some sort of driver bug presumably
[07:49] <zs> yeah and I do not want to use the proprietary
[07:49] <b1n42y> Laibsch: sounds like bios tinkering maybe
[07:49] <godoshian> hello, i just formatted a usb drive as ntfs file system with gparted by first deleting partitions then creating a new partition table and using whole space as a single partition. after formatting immediately it uses 70mb space. Why does it happen and what is stored in there?
[07:49] <crdlb> zs: you could try asking #radeon
[07:49] <zs> hmm kk thanks for the tip
[07:50] <b1n42y> Laibsch: or switching pci card to different slot if thats applicable
[07:50] <Laibsch> b1n42y: Actually, I tinkered with BIOS settings a bit after I understood it was a problem with shared IRQ
[07:50] <Laibsch> Moved a couple of settings from explicit choosing IRQ 11 to "automatic" and rebooted
[07:50] <Laibsch> Everything is still on IRQ 11 :-(

[07:51] <MHz128> thanks!
[07:52] <sebsebseb> np
[07:52] <Laibsch> b1n42y: bug 334957 should have the details
[07:52] <MHz128> sebsebseb, even if the windows apps aren't 64bit?
[07:52] <Laibsch> No bot for launchpad bugs here?
[07:52] <lstarnes> ubottu: bug 334957
[07:52] <sebsebseb> yes  I think so,  and I think in wine config you can tell it if an app is 32bit or 64bit
[07:52] <sebsebseb> or 16bit
[07:53] <Laibsch> b1n42y: Essentially, my mouse drifts when wifi load is high

[07:55] <b1n42y> Laibsch: usb or wireless
[07:55] <Laibsch> b1n42y: will a different mouse likely get a different IRQ?

[07:57] <kriscolt> Swistak i think if you type !w
[07:57] <kriscolt> it will save the file
[07:57] <chachex> @Swistak, press escape, it's !w
[07:57] <chachex> wait
[07:57] <chachex> :w
[07:57] <chachex> my bad
[07:58] <chachex> if that doesn't save
[07:58] <chachex> then trying :w! (which forces the save)
[07:58] <Swistak> escape freeze my vim
[07:58] <chachex> it shouldn't
[07:58] <kriscolt> escape switches to command mode
[07:58] <chachex> that should get you back into command mode
[07:58] <chachex> from insert (when you press i)
[07:59] <laron> after insert (i) press esc then :w!

[08:00] <Rainium_Isotope_> dont know wat that is..
[08:00] <chachex> it's when you run it against an md5 hash to make sure it was written correctly
[08:00] <Rainium_Isotope_> well u know what..
[08:00] <chachex> the site you got the iso from should have an md5 hash near the download button
[08:01] <BeBoo_> can someone help me with some wireless issues im having with 8.10? I notice if I go to Hardware Drivers, it sees me "Atheros 802.11 Wireless Card", i entered my wireless information in the Networking Config but it won't connect. any ideas?
[08:01] <kriscolt> grr.. i'm out of blank cd's
[08:01] <kriscolt> anyone know how i would mount an image file ?
[08:01] <Rainium_Isotope_> i only inserted the disk inside windows cus i was able to try ubuntu inside windows before i actually used it, is it possible that you can only load sabayon as a boot disk?
[08:01] <chachex> yeah
[08:01] <chachex> ubuntu has wubi which allows it to load in windows
[08:01] <chachex> most distros don't have that
[08:02] <zs> BeBoo: are you connected to ethernet as well?
[08:02] <Rainium_Isotope_> ahhhh
[08:02] <Rainium_Isotope_> ok
[08:02] <chachex> unfortunately, i've never used sabayon, so i don't know about that one
[08:02] <BeBoo_> zs: no
[08:02] <Rainium_Isotope_> that explains it.
[08:02] <Rainium_Isotope_> i knew i wasnt doing anything wrong
[08:02] <Rainium_Isotope_> ok another question..
[08:02] <kriscolt> !iso
[08:02] <defrysk> BeBoo_, on intrepid ?
[08:02] <Rainium_Isotope_> how do i install ubuntu and sabayon alongside each other?
[08:02] <BeBoo_> defrysk: yes
[08:02] <zs> BeBoo: are the latest drivers installed through the hardware manager?
[08:02] <BeBoo_> fresh install
[08:03] <defrysk> BeBoo_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros
[08:03] <Rainium_Isotope_> what option do i select upon installation when using it as a boot disk?
[08:03] <BeBoo_> defrysk: thanks, i'll try it
[08:03] <chachex> @Rainium_Isotope, you need a separate partition for Sabayon, otherwise, grub should detect the other OSes and it should install fine
[08:03] <Rainium_Isotope_> i dont want to erase ubuntu
[08:04] <defrysk> BeBoo_, iirc you need to apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid
[08:04] <Rainium_Isotope_> but do i have to use it as a boot disk to install while still running ubuntu, and it wont erase?
[08:05] <chachex> if you select a partition that ubuntu's not on, then it won't erase ubuntu, do you know how to partition your hard drive?
[08:05] <nigga_please> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0 This vid on the new Ubuntu release is pretty exciting.
[08:05] <defrysk> BeBoo_, after install the ath5k module should work  correctly
[08:05] <BeBoo_> defrysk: looks like it. i'll hook up eth0 and install it
[08:05] <brandon1> yeah i was about to say
[08:05] <Rainium_Isotope_> grrr.. no, but i did download a partition editor incase i came across this type of problem..
[08:06] <defrysk> BeBoo_, good luck
[08:06] <brandon1> i have 3 ubuntu's on my comp how do i delete them
[08:06] <BeBoo_> thanks :-)
[08:06] <brandon1> ?
[08:06] <nigga_please> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0 This vid on the new Ubuntu release is pretty exciting.
[08:06] <dustin> anyone know why my wireless signal is so crappy on ubuntu compared to winxp (switched) D:
[08:06] <Rainium_Isotope_> repeat: grrr.. no, but i did download a partition editor incase i came across this type of problem..
[08:06] <chachex> usually when you run a linux install, it'll start gparted as part of the process
[08:07] <chachex> that will allow you to resize and create partitions
[08:07] <Rainium_Isotope_> oh cool
[08:07] <Rainium_Isotope_> will it notify me before i do something that might erase ubuntu?
[08:07] <chachex> it should
[08:07] <Rainium_Isotope_> k
[08:07] <chachex> ubuntu does, so does fedora
[08:08] <Rainium_Isotope_> ok good.
[08:08] <chachex> i don't see why sabayon would be different
[08:08] <Rainium_Isotope_> would you suggest fedora over sabayon?
[08:08] <chachex> @brandon, what do you mean 'delete' them?
[08:08] <Rainium_Isotope_> i need a kde desktop environment
[08:08] <chachex> are you talking about removing them from grub?
[08:08] <chachex> if you need kde
[08:08] <chachex> just install the kubuntu packages in ubuntu
[08:08] <chachex> no need to install another distro
[08:09] <nigga_please> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0 This vid on the new Ubuntu release is pretty exciting.
[08:09] <chachex> if you do that
[08:09] <disappearedng> any1 here in China? my servers are EXTREMELY SLOW
[08:09] <chachex> when you log into your computer
[08:09] <crdlb> !ops | nigga_please
[08:09] <chachex> you click the session button
[08:09] <brandon1> how do i run a ./config file on ubuntu
[08:09] <brandon1> ?
[08:09] <Rainium_Isotope_> k keep going
[08:09] <Rainium_Isotope_> or wait..
[08:09] <chachex> and you can select GDM (GNOME, what you're currently using) or KDM (KDE)
[08:09] <Enissay> is there any application that allow me to control my local network: see everything on it and block/unblock others to access it?
[08:09] <chachex> lemme find the package, h/o
[08:09] <Rainium_Isotope_> ahh ok
[08:09] <Rainium_Isotope_> ok awesome.
[08:10] <chachex> if you go into Synaptic (the package manager)
[08:10] <chachex> type in kubuntu-desktop
[08:10] <chachex> and install that
[08:10] <chachex> it'll install KDE
[08:10] <vertigo> how can I boot staraight to shell in ubuntu? bypass login screen
[08:10] <Rainium_Isotope_> then i can choose kdm or gdm on startup?
[08:11] <chachex> yup
[08:11] <Rainium_Isotope_> awesome.
[08:11] <chachex> i used to do that
[08:11] <Rainium_Isotope_> thank you!
[08:11] <chachex> i had gnome, kde, and xfce all installed
[08:11] <chachex> no problem
[08:11] <illumin8> i have gnome and xfce now, works great.
[08:12] <chachex> yeah, ubuntu's pretty good at managing different desktop environments
[08:13] <dangerum> y'all are fuckin lamers
[08:14] <Rainium_Isotope_> chachex all thats showing up is KDE4 (kubuntu desktop system) but it says it depends on all of the packages in the kubuntu kde 4 desktop system... what does that mean?

[08:16] <illumin8> cant get forecast?
[08:16] <chachex> @ Rainium, did you get my PM?
[08:17] <panesar_sandeep> spideryummy, have u made an changes to your hard disk after installing ubuntu, like installing windows in a diff partition
[08:17] <illumin8> diginux, thanks i thought that might be the case
[08:20] <BeBoo_> defrysk: installing... *crosses fingers*
[08:22] <D_likescookies> anyone can tell me if gnome have something like the kde's desktop widgets? if so, anyone have a link of where to find them?
[08:22] <panesar_sandeep> spideryummy,Looks like you have a bad block, which could well be caused by the power outage. Boot with a live CD. Ensure that all partitions on your hdd are UNMOUNTED, and swap is turned off. (sudo swapoff -a) Use the commandsudo e2fsck -c -v /dev/sda to check for badblocks, and mark them so that they will not be used again. If you have the time, you can run a much more through (but much...
[08:22] <panesar_sandeep> ...longer) check with "sudo e2fsck -v -cc /dev/sda".Replace /dev/sda with your actual hard disk device. If there are too many bad sectors (blocks), maybe you should think about replacing the hard disk.

[08:30] <IndyGunFreak> laron: if you'd have gotten your wireless going before you updated, i could help you get that working on the new kernel, but i've never gotten it to work on anything other than a vanilla install
[08:31] <pjfry1> Is there a program  I can use to download videos from youtube?
[08:31] <laron> I actually just got it working, rebooted and now my eth0 is down
[08:31] <laron> ha
[08:31] <Rainium_Isotope_> im @ a screen "Configuring kdm-kde4" and it asks me to select a default display manager: either gdm or kdm-kde4, (i want to be able to select between gnome and kde when i start ubuntu)
[08:31] <IndyGunFreak> laron: i see
[08:31] <laron> so now wireless works and eth0 doesnt
[08:31] <laron> odd
[08:31] <dangerum> cooldduuudde i'm more the kind of sensiTIVE guy
[08:31] <cooldduuudde> pjfry1: there is a plugin in firefox but it doesn't seem to work these days
[08:31] <Gotu> ok
[08:31] <IndyGunFreak> laron: but your wireless should work in the new kernel, right?
[08:31] <dangerum> and backtrack, while we're on that
[08:31] <Gotu> thanks
[08:31] <Axlin> pjfry1: i just use the greasemonkey addon for firefox and a script that adds a download link below the video
[08:32] <lstarnes> Rainium_Isotope_: kdm-kde4 and gdm both support kde4 and gnome
[08:32] <D_likescookies>  Rainium_Isotope_ doesn't make a diference, it's just the login screen manager.
[08:32] <laron> i locked the kernel
[08:32] <Gotu> how can we install safari
[08:32] <malakhi> Rainium_Isotope_: either one will offer you the choice of GNOME or KDE
[08:32] <Rainium_Isotope_> so either one i pick ill be able to choose whether to log in to gnome or kde?
[08:32] <laron> It didnt work in the new kernel
[08:32] <malakhi> Rainium_Isotope_: correct
[08:32] <D_likescookies>  Rainium_Isotope_ yes.
[08:33] <pjfry1> Thank you Axlin and coooldude
[08:33] <illumin8> Rainium_Isotope_, after you install the managers you can choose them in your login screen with the sessions button
[08:33] <Rainium_Isotope_> :) thank you
[08:33] <cooldduuudde> you can use any manager
[08:33] <dangerum> you're still boring.. i was hoping to be entertained

[08:33] <Axlin> pjfry1: oh yeah, check userscripts.org for the script. the one i use is called "Download Youtube Video III"
[08:34] <Flyboarder> can someone help me with the live cd boot menu?
[08:34] <laron> whats the password on here to message a specific person?

[08:39] <Crshman> I linked it
[08:41] <GaRRu> still don't get what it does
[08:41] <melik> my partition went wrong.. how can i recover old files?
[08:42] <rdw200169> melik, if you're *really* lucky, testdisk or photorec can do that
[08:42] <laststraw> OK. I've just installed Ubuntu and was 'playing' with Dolphin and have set folders to open with Picasa.  I don't know how to undo it.
[08:42] <rdw200169> melik, testdisk is in the repo, i dunno about photorec, they're both made by the same organization, grc.com i think
[08:42] <melik> i'll cross my fingers rdw200169 :/
[08:42] <melik> or else there goes like 100 gigs of music
[08:43] <rdw200169> melik, well, if the files were not overwritten, you may be able to just *hopefully* restore you're old partition table
[08:43] <rdw200169> melik, ah, i was wrong, it was cgsecurity.org
[08:44] <melik> well i was just moving my partition table to another sector on my HDD, and my power cut off
[08:44] <melik> so it got cut off midway
[08:44] <beargins> oh melik sounds like you have a problem
[08:44] <rdw200169> melik, http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec this will probably work best... see what it does !
[08:44] <beargins> boot to a live disk
[08:44] <Peddyt> melik, testdisk can recover lost partition tables.
[08:44] <beargins> create a partition for backup
[08:45] <beargins> mount the bad partitions, and gzip/tar your data
[08:45] <Rainium_Isotope_> SWEET! im in the kde4 desktop now!
[08:45] <beargins> move it all to the backup partition
[08:45] <audifahrer> Hello
[08:45] <Rainium_Isotope_> k have a question tho:
[08:45] <beargins> then reinstall
[08:45] <beargins> hehe
[08:45] <Rainium_Isotope_> how do i switch the login screen back to gnome?
[08:45] <DizzyDoo> Just got Ubuntu Server installed on a fresh box, what is the best way to check that it's connected to the internet successfully?
[08:45] <audifahrer> is there a GUI tool (gtk if possible) to convert various video formats in ubuntu?
[08:45] <rdw200169> melik, it would be best to refer to the documentation they have in their website :)
[08:45] <Rainium_Isotope_> i had a custom login screen..
[08:45] <melik> yeah im reading now rdw200169 thanks a lot guys
[08:46] <quibbler> laststraw: open picasa  go to file - add folder to picasa   there you can add or remove folders that picasa will use
[08:46] <rdw200169> melik, ah, with ubuntu, photorec comes with the testdisk package
[08:47] <KalEl> i found a very nice unbiased comparison between ubuntu & windows xp
[08:47] <KalEl> i will post it here if you don't mind...
[08:47] <Rainium_Isotope_> hey can anyone help? just installed the kde4 environment on ubuntu and want to change the login window back to gnome since it was a custom login screen, can anyone tell me how to do that>
[08:47] <KalEl> http://www.easy-ubuntu-linux.com/windows-xp-vs-ubuntu.html
[08:47] <Rainium_Isotope_> ?
[08:47] <huwenfeng> any utility in ubuntu to safely delete a file?
[08:47] <bazhang> KalEl, please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic not here
[08:47] <ziroday> huwenfeng: what do you mean?
[08:48] <huwenfeng> i mean, really non-recoverable.
[08:48] <ziroday> huwenfeng: shred
[08:48] <huwenfeng> safely, securely.
[08:48] <huwenfeng> ziroday: Oh, good. seems good, thx
[08:48] <Peddyt> melik, I accidentally my whole partition table, and testdisk easily recovered it. Open testdisk, choose your FS and 'analyse', then, if it finds the partition table, you can choose 'write'. If it does not find the partition table, you can do a 'deep search', which searches, deeper. :P
[08:48] <Rainium_Isotope_> ...anyone?
[08:49] <Rainium_Isotope_> alguien puede a ayudarme?
[08:49] <bazhang> Rainium_Isotope_, at the login screen under options choose the one you wish

[08:51] <quibbler> rakzor: you are not alone
[08:51] <b1n42y> !writeback
[08:51] <bazhang> Rainium_Isotope_, you will need to log out of kde and get back to login screen
[08:51] <nathanial> ok. I'm having problems with bind x.x

[08:56] <bazhang> Axlin, there is also scim, though that is generally geared to text entry (ie changing languages in what you type) and more so for asian languages

[09:33] <laststraw1> Hello again quibbler. I tried your suggestion and that crashed the system. Not sure what else to do other than reinstall. I set this up for my daughter and was checking to see if anything else might be useful to her. I'll stick with Nautilus next time.
[09:33] <n2diy>   timob, with Synaptic you can re-install?
[09:33] <ziroday> disappearedng: you have to wait until thats finished :)
[09:34] <ubuntistas> i have problem suspending, an icon is appearing that vlc has stopped the hibernate from taking place: Playing some media...
[09:34] <ubuntistas> any clue?
[09:34] <quibbler> laststraw1: before you reinstall state your problem again in the chat room and see if someone else can help
[09:35] <laststraw1> Thanks quibbler
[09:35] <quibbler> laststraw1: you are welcome.
[09:37] <b1n42y> why would suspend whilst playing media ...
[09:38] <b1n42y> maybe we should get ubuntu to make breakfast for us also
[09:40] <laststraw1> As a new Linux (ubuntu) user I was experimenting with Dolphin and in the process I have set all folders to open with Dolphin. I cannot find a way to undo this so now when I click on Home or any other folder it opens with Dolphin and I get this message: "The file or folder /home/xxxx/'file:/home/xxxx/Pictures' does not exist." Can anyone help me undo this please?
[09:40] <b1n42y> if i install basket which is designed for kde and it pulls in necessary stuff from kde libs will ubuntu run slower
[09:41] <b1n42y> laststraw1: there is a page on the net with a script that does that and then a script to undo it, i just reinstalled though
[09:41] <n2diy> b1n42y, yes, slightly, but you probably wouldn't know the difference.
[09:41] <b1n42y> n2diy: thanks
[09:42] <ziroday> laststraw1: right click on a folder, go to open with other application and select nautilus
[09:43] <n2diy> b1n42y, I run lots of KDE stuff here.
[09:43] <laststraw1> b1n42y thanks.  Would you have a link to the page? Or is it easier to re-install?

[09:46] <b1n42y> laststraw1: sorry, but if you google you should find it was pretty much only 1 there, plus the undo script might not work as you did not use his install script but it will give you an idea on how to undo possibly, if you tinker alot i suggest you setup a virtual ubuntu using one of the many vms, i like virtualbox
[09:46] <Raf_> can someone please tell me how to configure XChat GNOME IRC Chat so that I can access:

[09:46] <laron> I got it working!
[09:47] <IndyGunFreak> Raf_: not really sure on xchat-gnome, but all you have to do is add that server to your server list.
[09:47] <Raf_> :) I tried that, but it doesn't seem to work.
[09:47] <Raf_> I posted on a forum, and am still awaiting a reply
[09:47] <IndyGunFreak> Raf_: then i would verify the info is correct
[09:47] <Raf_> otherwise, can anyone recommend a good IRC client?
[09:47] <b1n42y> Salaatti: those type of questions are subjective in their answer, google msn linux programs then google review of each
[09:48] <IndyGunFreak> Raf_: xchat-gnome is ok, xchat is good, irc, etc, there's several
[09:48] <zafle> pidgin does msn

[09:58] <ProstheticS> thx Myrtti
[09:58] <haz_> Myrtti : lifesaver :)
[09:58] <Myrtti> ProstheticS: np
[09:58] <Myrtti> haz_: be careful with that though
[09:59] <haz_> no worries, i've done this before
[09:59] <haz_> worked fine
[09:59] <Myrtti> Bushman: depends on which bluetooth related packages you've installed
[09:59] <ProstheticS> hmmm Myrtti its a very limited list
[10:00] <Acedip> is OOo 3 available in the repo
[10:00] <Bushman> Myrtti: well... none :P
[10:00] <rww> Acedip: OpenOffice.org 3 was not released in time to be tested and included in Ubuntu Intrepid/8.10. Ubuntu does not update packages in stable releases (like 8.10) to new major versions, so OOo3 will not enter intrepid-updates, but will be in Jaunty/9.04 when the latter comes out. There is no backport for OOo3 yet. Instructions to install UNOFFICIAL packages of OOo3: http://tinyurl.com/ooorg3
[10:00] <Bushman> but in preferences there are 4 services listed
[10:00] <Bushman> are those client only?
[10:00] <zs> wow I no longer have a reason to be here, I think my computer is setup perfectly now!! yay
[10:00] <b1n42y> !bluetooth | Bushman
[10:01] <Myrtti> Bushman: as Bluetooth isn't exactly something that all the computers come with default, you need to install some knicknacks for a) bluetooth in general to work b) have the services you want
[10:01] <zs> only if gnome-look.org would load now
[10:01] <zs> yeah
[10:01] <zs> like one cool thing you can do with bluetooth is
[10:01] <zs> your computer can sense when you are near by and it will unlock itself, and when you go away it locks..
[10:02] <Bushman> Myrtti: in general it does work
[10:02] <Bushman> and all interesting me services are listed in preferences
[10:02] <bigzed> zs, you mean it unlocks itselt if your handy is near by?
[10:02] <zs> yeah, and generally you would have it on you
[10:03] <b1n42y> zs: lol i think its beeen down for like the last 3 hours im waiting also
[10:03] <bigzed> but isn't this unsecure?
[10:03] <bedo2991> I've got resolution issues
[10:03] <bigzed> someone could copy your mobilphone signal
[10:04] <bedo2991> I changed my resolution and now I can't get the previus one back
[10:04] <zs> b1n42y: yeah I finally got compiz to work and now I want some new window decs... all this time and it doesn't work
[10:04] <bedo2991> when I click on "apply" it doesn't change anything
[10:04] <DizzyDoo> Question: I've been trying to set up OpenSSH on my server, but I can't seem to connect to it on Putty on my Windows machine. Error being: "host does not exist", what should I check?
[10:04] <rww> DizzyDoo: what are you putting in as the hostname on putty? the server's IP address?
[10:04] <b1n42y> DizzyDoo: try connecting by ip
[10:05] <b1n42y> ;p
[10:05] <zs> bigzed: yeah but if someone wants your info it doesn't matter what you do, they will get it..
[10:05] <zs> bigzed: it's just we are all small potatoes compared to who else is out there ie ceo's celebritys
[10:06] <DizzyDoo> rww, bln42y: The server does not have a static IP, how can I find the IP out? Since I'm on the network with the server, I was trying username@localhost or username@192.168.0.2  but neither work
[10:06] <b1n42y> can i be a tomatoe
[10:06] <zs> sure thing
[10:07] <zs> you just squish easier
[10:07] <rww> DizzyDoo: on the actual server, the IP address is in the output of ifconfig (look for "inet addr"). Alternatively, if you have admin access to the router you're using, many of them have a page that'll display the IP addresses of connected computers.
[10:08] <bedo2991> anybody?
[10:08] <zs> so does anyone know if there is ever going to be a way to browse nfs shares just like you can with samba shares?
[10:08] <dr_Willis> zs,  i doubt it.
[10:09] <zs> yeah, since samba works fine already
[10:09] <DizzyDoo> rww, I am connecting to the inet addr, which says it is 192.168.0.2
[10:09] <dr_Willis> zs,  thats not the reason.. NFS has a different design goal
[10:09] <zs> how so?
[10:09] <b1n42y> !resolution | bedo2991
[10:09] <bn43> hi is anyone using smstools here? it is shown in the /etc/init.d/ folder but does not start up automatically
[10:10] <rww> DizzyDoo: "ifconfig" on the server says that? or on the Windows client?
[10:10] <bn43> what is wrong?
[10:10] <b1n42y> DizzyDoo: server
[10:10] <zs> or you can do ctrl+alt+backspace
[10:10] <DizzyDoo> rww, ifconfig on the server says that
[10:11] <b1n42y> DizzyDoo: are you sure you should be putting username b4 ip
[10:12] <Rainium_Isotope_> Q?: How do I configure my system to gnome instead of kde?
[10:12] <rww> DizzyDoo: odd. Try "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart" on the server, then try connecting again.
[10:12] <fosco_> !puregnome | Rainium_Isotope_
[10:12] <zs> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[10:12] <b1n42y> Rainium_Isotope_: you need to install it and change type at login
[10:12] <darrend> hello - if I try to create a second login ("switch user" / gdmflexiserver) the gdm login screen that comes up accepts no mouse or keyboard input at all.  But I can still switch between the 2 with CtrlAltF7 / F9.  Any ideas?
[10:12] <DizzyDoo> rww: I will (have already done so, but once more, just for you)
[10:12] <zs> what he/she said
[10:13] <rww> DizzyDoo: Does Putty take a while trying to connect before it errors out, or does it error out immediately?
[10:14] <zs> best game for linux... anyone?
[10:14] <zs> for free
[10:14] <rww> !games | zs
[10:14] <bazhang> zs please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:14] <zs> damn you, I wanted opinions
[10:15] <zs> ok
[10:15] <zs> sounds good
[10:15] <b1n42y> lol
[10:15] <bazhang> no need for that language zs
[10:15] <ilovebrownies> can someone give me a few pointers on partitioning my HDD?
[10:15] <zs> ok, chill
[10:16] <brunner> what program can I use to dial out on a modem for purposes other than internet access?  it's already set up as a device in /dev.
[10:16] <b1n42y> !partitions | ilovebrownies
[10:17] <ilovebrownies> i was just wondering if extending my existing ext3 partition might go bad
[10:17] <b1n42y> ilovebrownies: i have 120 /boot 10gb /root rest /home but it depends if its a server you should have more partitions
[10:17] <zs> ilovebrownies: nope ext3 can grow and shrink
[10:17] <b1n42y> ilovebrownies: as always backup
[10:18] <ilovebrownies> i had an NTFS partition which I've now deleted, and I intend to extend my ext3 partition
[10:18] <b1n42y> ilovebrownies: and dont interrupt the process of growing and shrinking moving etc
[10:19] <b1n42y> ilovebrownies: i think you might have to download gparted live cd  - 90 mb
[10:19] <Rainium_Isotope_> wow... the bots in here seem to be the smartest ones..
[10:19] <Rainium_Isotope_> lol
[10:19] <ilovebrownies> ok, but the ext3 partition needs to be unmounted right? should I use a live CD?
[10:19] <b1n42y> read above
[10:20] <rww> ilovebrownies: Yes, it needs to be unmounted. If you're running Linux off of it, you'll need to use a Live CD (gparted's or Ubuntu's will work fine)
[10:20] <b1n42y> Rainium_Isotope_: are you trying to say something
[10:21] <ilovebrownies> ok thanks
[10:24] <cooldduuudde> why is der so much of silence?

[10:27] <s_spiff> !nvidia
[10:27] <bazhang> shepherd, did you check the appdb?
[10:27] <rdw200169> s_spiff, it should just be the package nvidia-glx, they took out nvidia-glx-new
[10:28] <b1n42y> shepherd: are you aware of openoffice
[10:28] <s_spiff> rdw200169, ohh .. what happened to Envy?
[10:28] <shepherd> i dont know anything about computers, my cusin sold me   a  computer   and     i bought   windows   office and it wont install
[10:28] <quibbler> Sunflyer: in a terminal do: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[10:28] <Myrtti> !envy | s_spiff
[10:28] <rdw200169> s_spiff, its still there, you *can* use that, but first try the supported package
[10:29] <Sunflyer> Im trying to do this http://www.stchman.com/ath_drv.html
[10:29] <s_spiff> rdw200169, ok. thanks Myrtti

[10:40] <Grom> hello
[10:40] <shepherd> hi gorm
[10:40] <susanne> Hello! I want to use wireless internet but after boot, it's connected with the access point but have no ip/router dhcp. When doing /etc/init.d/networking restart it works. How can I make this working from boot on?
[10:40] <bazhang> shepherd, this is ubuntu ?
[10:40] <shepherd> i dont know
[10:40] <bazhang> shepherd, then open office is installed
[10:40] <Grom> my sudoers file have "parse error" when I try to use "sudo" command
[10:40] <shepherd> how am i supposed to know?
[10:40] <Grom> I have no root passwd
[10:40] <bazhang> shepherd, is it windows?
[10:41] <bazhang> Grom, dont need one, use sudo
[10:41] <dominique> Grom: You have to specify your localhost in /etc/resolv.conf i guess.
[10:41] <shepherd> i have no files saved? i have no  my documents
[10:41] <bazhang> !sudo | Grom
[10:41] <shepherd> i have no my music or my documents
[10:41] <Grom> I know whats sudo
[10:41] <Grom> but if I try to use sudo then I get "parse error"
[10:41] <rdw200169> dominique, hmm.. you could try adding a network restart to rc.local
[10:41] <to3000> go to aplcations, office, open office word prosseser, file open, find the resume and click on the printer
[10:41] <bazhang> shepherd, right click desktop create new document
[10:41] <to3000> button
[10:41] <Grom> because I have broken /etc/sudoers
[10:42] <BeBoo_> is there a x64 flash player?
[10:42] <rww> Grom: I'm guessing you chose to ignore the note in /etc/sudoers that you should only edit that file using the "visudo" command, not directly?
[10:42] <dominique> rdw200169: Yeah, but this is a bad solution i think... I mean, networking is executed while booting, isn'it? Why do i have to restart it...?
[10:42] <to3000> you have a documents folder
[10:42] <Grom> and I dont know how to fix that.
[10:42] <s_spiff> rdw200169, i just installed nvidia-glx... no change afaik
[10:42] <shepherd> why would my cusi do  this to me?  he knows i need  to get a job can this thing even email?
[10:42] <Grom> rww, yup :P
[10:43] <bazhang> shepherd, sure it can
[10:43] <shepherd> i'm  super upset right nwo
[10:43] <rdw200169> dominique, it may be a problem with the initialization of the wireless related drivers... i dunno.  you may have received an error in your syslog, like it didn't get an IP address in time
[10:43] <shepherd> i feel like i'm going to puke
[10:43] <bazhang> shepherd, you should listen carefully, or go talk to your cousin; this is support and not a chat channel
[10:43] <rdw200169> dominique, i'm not sure, but i think the timeout for dhcp is reduced during boot to prevent seemingly *loooong* boot times, even though some routers are stubborn and make you wait a while for your IP address (like mine :( )
[10:43] <cooldduuudde> shepherd: i think you would b better off using windows
[10:43] <rww> Grom: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo
[10:44] <Myrtti> shepherd: calm down
[10:44] <shepherd> i'm  listening
[10:44] <bazhang> shepherd, #ubuntu-offtopic for chat
[10:44] <bazhang> cooldduuudde, that is not helpful
[10:44] <dominique> rdw200169: Yeah, i had troubles last days with wireless, so I installed a few drivers i (probably) don't need. Maybe there's a conflict. Thank you, i'll try to remove some of them from modules
[10:44] <yellabs> hello all
[10:44] <ftab> Where can I find the Ubuntu Humun Theme Icons?
[10:44] <rdw200169> s_spiff, hmm... i'm not sure with intrepid (i'm still using 8.04), but i think you need to set the driver in 'Screens' or something like that...
[10:44] <yellabs> is there someone who uses the hp mini mei dark theme?
[10:44] <yellabs> or any dark theme?
[10:44] <dominique> how can I login as a superuser while logged in as a non sudoer?
[10:44] <rdw200169> dominique, you should check the syslog for a boot message that might help ;)
[10:45] <dominique> rdw200169: k... :)
[10:45] <Dr_willis_AAO> dominique,  sudo -s, to get a root shell.. or otehr ways - depending on the task
[10:45] <s_spiff> rdw200169, okies... why's intrepid still so unorganized... ?
[10:45] <rww> ftab: They're in the human-icon-theme package, which installs them to /usr/share/icons/Human/
[10:45] <bazhang> shepherd, right click desktop
[10:45] <rdw200169> s_spiff, i dunno, like i said, i'm still not using it.  regardless, did the restricted drivers manager give you a popup saying you had proprietary drivers available?
[10:45] <dominique> Dr_willis_AAO: doesn't work, it asks me for the root password for the account i'm logged in
[10:45] <bazhang> shepherd, select create new document
[10:46] <s_spiff> rdw200169, hmm..thanks :)
[10:46] <Dr_willis_AAO> dominique,  it will only work for accopunts in the proper group. ie: the initiallymade user.
[10:46] <rdw200169> s_spiff, and, on a side note, it seems that jaunty is gonna have  a very nice gui for X.org
[10:46] <ftab> thank you rww:
[10:46] <ftab> :)
[10:46] <shepherd> look i dont want to creaate a new resume, i want the one my mom made for me
[10:46] <rww> ftab: You're welcome :). Glad I could help!
[10:46] <dominique> Dr_willis_AAO: k... so i'm not able to do it atm :)
[10:46] <bazhang> http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download.html here is a comprehensive guide shepherd
[10:46] <s_spiff> rdw200169, hmm..but that means it's just cleaning up the 8.10 :P
[10:46] <ftab> I just wanted to use those icons in my desktop application
[10:47] <bazhang> shepherd, then load it up, and edit or print after opening with open office
[10:47] <b1n42y> shepherd: ask your mom where the document is
[10:47] <rdw200169> s_spiff, i'm sorry i couldn't help more... what I *do* know is that X.org doesn't *need* a config file anymore... you may need to use the nvidia config tool to create a quick xorg.conf so it will load the nvidia driver
[10:47] <shepherd> look, i have a job interview in six hours i dont have time  to read i need answers now
[10:47] <Mr_Bananas> hello ubuntu technicians
[10:47] <bazhang> shepherd, from usb or wherever, right click and then it will open in open office automatically
[10:47] <shepherd> my mom is mexico on vacation
[10:47] <rdw200169> Mr_Bananas, technicians get paid...
[10:48] <b1n42y> IMO shepherd is pulling the wool over our eyes
[10:48] <Mr_Bananas> haha well you guys are the liberty technicians
[10:48] <bazhang> shepherd, we have no idea where the document is; this is ubuntu support, and not a chat channel
[10:48] <shepherd> i have nothing saved it was all  saaaved on this computer. it is not in the c:/ driver where is my c:/ driver?
[10:48] <b1n42y> roflmao
[10:48] <s_spiff> ok i think i was supposed to install version 177..but i've installed 180... so when i try to remove it.. i get an error: E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[10:49] <shepherd> nothing is rolfmayo
[10:49] <bazhang> shepherd, so if you have a support question, then fire away, but for document management re your home environment please take it elsewhere
[10:49] <shepherd> thgis is serious
[10:49] <Myrtti> b1n42y: if you don't have anything constructive to say, please don't
[10:49] <rdw200169> Mr_Bananas, having read over what i wrote, i realize that i may have been misleading... i was joking, not trying to extort money ;)
[10:50] <shepherd> well i mise well  go kill my self, thank you ubuntu
[10:50] <b1n42y> Myrtti: its obvious hes having a joke he doesnt know anything about computers but know the acronym roflmao
[10:50] <b1n42y> C
[10:50] <bazhang> b1n42y, no
[10:50] <Myrtti> b1n42y: drop it
[10:50] <bazhang> b1n42y, not helpful
[10:51] <b1n42y> oh ok, what have i been doing for the last 2 hours
[10:51] <b1n42y> ...
[10:51] <bazhang> b1n42y, chat elsewhere not here; support here, offtopic chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:52] <rdw200169> b1n42y, you don't want to anger bazhang, he spends a *lot* of time in here... i don't think he sleeps...
[10:55] <Mr_Bananas> why is flash player 121 mb????
[10:55] <Dr_willis_AAO> Mr_Bananas,  because adobe says so?
[10:56] <Mr_Bananas> for windows and mac its like 1 mb
[10:56] <b1n42y> Mr_Bananas: libraries needed to run it
[10:56] <b1n42y> Mr_Bananas: once you install them its possible they will get used for another program
[10:56] <Dr_willis_AAO> Mr_Bananas,  for windows and mac - from what ive seen.. youy download their installer.. then it gets the rest
[10:56] <vpol> can anybody suggest? when i maximize gnome-terminal, Xorg process takes 56% cpu. in normal mode 5% cpu.
[10:56] <Dr_willis_AAO> but does it really matter? If you want flash you do the download...
[10:57] <Mr_Bananas> yes yes but i thought the plugin to be somewhat smaller
[10:57] <WizardJames> So whats the chances that ubuntu installing on my laptop will pickup the wireless just fine, or should i start finding a cable to hook it up to the switch?
[10:57] <b1n42y> !hardware
[10:57] <Dr_willis_AAO> WizardJames,  totally depends on the chipset.. I would find a cable.
[10:57] <dominique> Where can i specify programs that have to be executed after booting but before x starts for all users?
[10:58] <rdw200169> WizardJames, going with what Dr_willis_AAO says, find the chipset you're using and make sure it is compatible
[10:58] <Dr_willis_AAO> dominique,  what sort of programs?
[10:58] <dominique> Dr_willis_AAO: like /etc/init.d/networking restart
[10:58] <rdw200169> dominique, you can do that it /etc/rc.local
[10:58] <Dr_willis_AAO> dominique,  /etc/rc.local if needed for that stuff
[10:58] <WizardJames> Well i found a few guides of people installing it on the same laptop and they had no problems, basicly does the cd install come with the wireless stuff
[10:58] <b1n42y> dominique:  sys > admins > services?
[10:58] <dominique> rdw200169: Dr_willis_AAO: thank you!
[10:58] <quibbler> dominique: system-preferences-sessions
[10:58] <rdw200169> Dr_willis_AAO, i win ;)
[10:59] <Dr_willis_AAO> dominique,  since you want it done befor even anyone can login. :)
[10:59] <Dr_willis_AAO> rdancer,  you where slow here...
[10:59] <dominique> rdw200169: No message found in boot log, i'll put restart networking into /etc/rc.local
[10:59] <dominique> Dr_willis_AAO: That's it :)
[11:00] <rdw200169> dominique, i find the quick fix like that to be much easier than trying to dig in /etc/init.d/ files ;)
[11:00] <dominique> rdw200169: I can just put the line '/etc/init.d/networking restart' into the file?
[11:01] <FredofzeVosges> Hi!
[11:01] <rdw200169> dominique, yeah
[11:01] <dominique> rdw200169: yeah... but i'm not a fan of these quick'n'dirty since ubuntu is so brillant
[11:01] <rdw200169> dominique, test it by running that file like a normal script to make sure it works
[11:01] <Mr_Bananas> !welcome
[11:01] <FredofzeVosges> Does anyone know how to print 598 xls files with a code?
[11:01] <dominique> it works
[11:02] <rdw200169> FredofzeVosges, isn't that windows proprietary?
[11:02] <dominique> rdw200169: thank you :)
[11:02] <FredofzeVosges> The thing is I need to parse these files, but I would like to have them displayed all together like pictures in Picasa for instance
[11:02] <dominique> I'll do a reboot and have a look if it doing his job... brb
[11:02] <rdw200169> dominique, if you want to get deeper into the problem... for example if you have random network drops... you can use something like monit to watch the network connection and restart it when necessary
[11:03] <FredofzeVosges> These are not my files, these are orders, and I have been asked to create a study on the parts ordered, costs...
[11:03] <Mr_Bananas> are there any HD movie player for linux?

[11:03] <rdw200169> dominique, i have to do this with my wireless connection... it has a bad habit of going stale or something ( i think its the garbage wireless router... )
[11:03] <dominique> rdw200169: I got the network manager applet in the panel, which shows when somethings wrong, then i execute networking restart on my own
[11:03] <FredofzeVosges> I have OpenOffice installed, but this does not solve my problem...
[11:03] <rdw200169> dominique, ah, that works too ;)  i don't use NetworkManager b/c i have a lot of whacky networking things going on ;)
[11:04] <FredofzeVosges> How can I print them all with cups-pdf (my default printer)?
[11:04] <rdw200169> FredofzeVosges, well, openOffice has the good 'ole print to pdf button in the toolbar...
[11:05] <dominique> rdw200169: hehe :) for me it's suffisent... worst things happen when i'm at my friends and log into his WAP encrypted wlan... this works awesome, but when i go home afterwards i have to take two hours before i can get into my unencrypted wlan...
[11:05] <Dr_willis_AAO> Mr_Bananas,  You mean for HD-Movies on blueray disks? or somthing? or just 'hd' avi files?
[11:05] <rdw200169> FredofzeVosges, you could try exporting the proprietary .xls file into something much more manageable
[11:06] <FredofzeVosges> rdw200169: I can not open and close 598 times!!!
[11:06] <Mr_Bananas> how can i view my blu-ray movie?
[11:06] <rdw200169> FredofzeVosges, ohhh, i get it now, what you meant... i thought it was a typo...
[11:07] <dominique> Mr_Bananas: Bluray cd drive, bluray driver..you got these things?
[11:07] <FredofzeVosges> rdw200169: I have found how to export in batch my xls to ods, but it does not help me on how to have them printed  in pdf
[11:07] <Dr_willis_AAO> you could some how script openoffice to open/pring them I imagine..
[11:08] <FredofzeVosges> Dr_willis_AAO: any clue of where I can find such code?
[11:08] <rdw200169> Mr_Bananas, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD
[11:08] <Dr_willis_AAO> FredofzeVosges,  google I guess.
[11:08] <FredofzeVosges> already tried... no luck
[11:08] <dominique> FredofzeVosges: look at this, maybe it helps you: http://www.cpanforum.com/threads/2161
[11:08] <Dr_willis_AAO> learn  the OOo Scripting language i guess.

[11:10] <nospys> problem is this is hapening when i try to install from livecd
[11:11] <dominique> nospys: But the installation completes successfully?
[11:11] <oscar> wenas a tod@s
[11:11] <rdw200169> nospys, you could take a shot at the alternate cd
[11:11] <oscar> alguien k me pueda ayudar con el emule??
[11:11] <nospys> no can't install, livecd goes to reconfiguration mode can't reconfigure
[11:11] <dominique> oscar: 1. ubuntu here 2. english here
[11:11] <rdw200169> !es | oscar
[11:12] <Cube3D> #xubuntu-es too:P
[11:12] <nospys> but how hard is it to partition in alternate install? don't want to destroy windows if I can't install linux
[11:12] <oscar> #ubuntu-es
[11:12] <Cube3D> yes
[11:12] <oscar> como entro??
[11:12] <Cube3D>  /join #ubuntu-es
[11:13] <hmw> what is the name of the program, that can tell stuff like last (failed) login?
[11:13] <oscar> Cube3D,  thank you
[11:13] <Cube3D> :)
[11:13] <rdw200169> nospys, this video runs through the partitioner in the alternate cd.. try fastforwarding through the beginning, its in the middle somewhere... http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/MoS2007/10_Installing_Ubuntu_Part_2
[11:13] <dominique> hmw: probalby auth.log
[11:13] <hmw> the program, that displays it, dominique
[11:14] <dominique> hmw: /var/log/auth.log
[11:14] <dominique> hmw: cat
[11:14] <rdw200169> hmw, or editor
[11:14] <dominique> hmw: or less, or just open it in a random graphiacl editor liek gedit
[11:14] <micro-`> hello, im using ubuntu-server, how can i put myself into the "testing" tree to get the most updated packages?
[11:14] <hmw> you mean, all linuxes, who are telling me such info after login, do it with grep and such stuff?
[11:15] <rdw200169> micro-`, hmm... i dunno, you could ask in #ubuntu-server
[11:15] <hmw> i want to get the typical message after login, which tells me about my last (failed) login
[11:15] <micro-`> ty
[11:16] <dominique> hmw: ah ok... maybe you could write a script that reads from auth.log since last login (very easy to make with grep) and put it in your ~/.desktop
[11:16] <hmw> dominique - i could, but i guess, there is something similar to lastlog, but the output format is not as I know it
[11:17] <nospys> also does anyone know what could be causing problems with not mounting during install, I tried installing jaunty(graphics worked there) but it refused to see my physical hard drives(also opensuse install atempts also borked in what to my aumetuer eyes looks like mounting problems by looking at the cryptic output I got by switching to virtual terminals to see what the problem was)
[11:18] <dominique> hmw: try tail /var/log/auth.log ... maybe this already serves you right
[11:19] <hmw> dominique - nope. I would have to make a quite complex statement to get all info together. I will make a little script, when I get bored asking google about it ;-)
[11:19] <WizardJames> Ah well. it did find my wireless networks and it works just fine, but now i need to remember what i put the password for the wireless ...
[11:21] <Dr_willis_AAO> try 'password'?
[11:21] <lsolesen> I am using banshee for my music. Is there a way to get it to monitor a folder (so I do not have to update manually if i make changes)?
[11:23] <b1n42y> lsolesen: in amarok theres a watch tickbox maybe banshee has similar
[11:23] <^shakia^> .dal.net
[11:23] <SeySayux> which package contains the kernel headers and where are they installed?
[11:25] <Haz1> hey guys, what's the channel and server to get help for compiz app? smbdy gave it to me here earlier and i've forgot...
[11:25] <jai> hi
[11:25] <Dr_willis_AAO> !compiz |  Haz1
[11:25] <jai> how to install ie
[11:26] <Dr_willis_AAO> jai,  there are some unofficial 'scripts' that install internet explorer in wine.  for 'testing' sstuff.
[11:26] <WizardJames> o yay...install updates:  276mb.    Well could be worse..  bluetooth and wireless working right off the disk
[11:26] <Guest69284> hi
[11:26] <Dr_willis_AAO> ies4linux i think its called.
[11:26] <Guest69284> yes
[11:27] <Chiliblack> I want to run something from rc.local is it just a matter of adding the /path/to/command or do I have to sh /path/to/command
[11:27] <Dr_willis_AAO> http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page
[11:27] <Dr_willis_AAO> Chiliblack,  no sh needed. you may want to put a & at the end of he command
[11:27] <Chiliblack> true good poitn
[11:28] <Dr_willis_AAO> sh /path/to/script MIGHT be needed on some rare scripts
[11:28] <Chiliblack> thanks Dr_willis_AAO
[11:28] <Chiliblack> it is an binary actually
[11:28] <Dr_willis_AAO> then you dont need sh. :)
[11:29] <Chiliblack> it is a lcd_daemon for an old server
[11:29] <Chiliblack> the binary is from RH6
[11:29] <Chiliblack> but it does run , just the init.d script doesn't want to work for some reason which I haven't tracked down yet
[11:30] <lsolesen> b1n42y: not that I can find :(
[11:30] <spyeye> is there a german channel here?

[11:33] <Dr_willis_AAO> s_spiff,  'ifconfig' dont show them both? how about 'lspci' Mostt realteks are very well supported
[11:33] <Dr_willis_AAO> Chiliblack,  Yes.

[11:34] <Dr_willis_AAO> !repos
[11:34] <s_spiff> Dr_willis_AAO, it not showing on either of them :(
[11:35] <Chiliblack> Dr_willis_AAO, My needs for a video card are little really (I made the mistake last time and got a ATI card which is a bit of a pain really
[11:35] <joakimk> Hi all! New user here, migrated from FC10 :) My C++ project uses libpq-fe (postgresql); how can I install the packages/libs I need to compile my project?
[11:35] <sky_> exist hamachi for linux ?
[11:35] <Dr_willis_AAO> s_spiff,  try the commands with sudo? pehaps
[11:35] <Dr_willis_AAO> !find hamachi
[11:35] <abchirk> fosco_ so I added it with the UIN, next reboot is the UIN the same for the partition, right? Or if I plug it into another USB-slot?
[11:35] <s_spiff> Dr_willis_AAO, umm.. ok
[11:35] <s_spiff> Dr_willis_AAO, no change :(
[11:35] <fosco_> abchirk: not sure, just try, if uuid does not work use partition names
[11:36] <Chiliblack> Dr_willis_AAO, The AAO works pretty well under osx and I just neded 'something to sync my garmin watch and my ipod too without running through hoops and couldn't face windows anymore
[11:36] <abchirk> ok
[11:36] <Dr_willis_AAO> s_spiff,  ive had dozens  of realtek cards. and most all have worked fine. if lspci isent showing it.. theres some deep issue going on.
[11:36] <b1n42y> s_spiff: tried disabling onboard in bios?
[11:36] <s_spiff> Dr_willis_AAO, i know! this used to work on hardy... dunno whats wrong right now.. altho i've had such an issue before too.. the only thing resolved it was a fresh reinstalltion
[11:37] <joakimk> g++ tells me, "graph.h:27:20: error: libpq-fe: No such file or directory"
[11:37] <s_spiff> b1n42y, umm.. i need both my cards :|
[11:37] <joakimk> where line 27 is #include <libpq-fe.h>
[11:37] <Chiliblack> find a live cd of hardy and try it
[11:37] <joakimk> ...I'm thinking this is more an Ubuntu issue, than a C++ issue :)
[11:38] <joakimk> I've tried apt-get install libpq, and variations like libpq-dev, etc
[11:38] <rdw200169> hmw, you would add the .so for pam_tally to the /etc/pam.d/common-auth, then use pam_tally binary to print the count using some bash-magic (very easy)
[11:39] <quibbler> joakim-: in a terminal type: apt-cache search libpq
[11:39] <hmw> rdw200169 - thanks for the hint, quite interesting stuff. I still need to look at pam. btw: pam_tally seems not to display "my attempted logins' status"
[11:40] <b1n42y> s_spiff: tturn it off, see what happens, if it picks up realtek turn on onboard
[11:40] <rdw200169> hmw, that is because, by default, that pam module is not used
[11:40] <b1n42y> s_spiff: might be an irq issue
[11:40] <joakimk> quibbler: http://paste.ubuntu.com/124221/ :)
[11:40] <rdw200169> hmw, ubuntu uses Pluggable Authentication Modules for the auth process of, well, pretty much everything... a very powerful and useful system
[11:41] <Dr_willis_AAO> s_spiff,  check dmesg output perhaps some info in there..   This maybe a bit hard to troubleshoot.
[11:41] <hmw> rdw200169 - ic, thanks. Guess i will be either grepping the faillog or living with the output of lastlog
[11:41] <rdw200169> hmw, for example, using PAM, you can use a card reader and a Smart Card to log in, circumventing /etc/passwd
[11:41] <joakimk> btw, here's my compiler errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/124222/
[11:41] <hmw> rdw200169 - that' quite cool
[11:41] <rdw200169> hmw, trust me, this is *much* easier
[11:42] <s_spiff> b1n42y, Dr_willis_AAO okies..will check
[11:42] <quibbler> joakimk: you are on your own now ...i know zero about c++....
[11:42] <joakimk> quibbler: :) But did apt-cache tell you something?
[11:42] <joakimk> quibbler: didn't mean to hit you with compiler dump ;)
[11:42] <hmw> rdw200169 - i got a reader, where do i get a card?
[11:43] <s_spiff> b1n42y, what's an irq issue?
[11:43] <rdw200169> hmw, once the pam_tally.so is in your /etc/pam.d/common-auth, failed attempts end up in /var/log/faillog... then you would just add a line to your bashrc that runs the binary, pam_tally --user $USER
[11:44] <quibbler> joakimk: it's telling you what files are available in apt-get relating to libpq
[11:44] <rdw200169> hmw, hmm... you can either use something like the OpenPGP card (which is a *pain* to get), or use something like a DoD Common Access Card (that's what I do)
[11:45] <b1n42y> s_spiff: interrupt requests
[11:45] <rdw200169> hmw, you can also use something like pam_poldi to use a thumbdrive to log in based on the UUID of the drive
[11:45] <rdw200169> hmw, but i don't consider that very safe... it does work though ;)
[11:45] <hmw> rdw200169 - i was about to ask... that's good news
[11:46] <s_spiff> b1n42y, umm ok.. sorry non-techie here... used to mess around with ubuntu a lot before..but its been over a year since i touched it.. so kinda forgotten stuff.
[11:46] <b1n42y> s_spiff: some devices may want exclusiveness, in the old day sound cards wanted irq 5 and werent happy to share maybe something along those lines is happening
[11:46] <hmw> rdw200169 - how would I approch faking such a thumbdrive?
[11:46] <hmw> rdw200169 - i mean, if i was to "steal" my own key
[11:46] <rdw200169> hmw, it's nothing about faking... hold on, lemme get you a link
[11:47] <disown> i'm looking for some command-line scripts that let you show gui components. I think i've seen it before, but forgot the name...
[11:47] <s_spiff> b1n42y, but i have had the same setup ( same two controllers) work on breexy.. hoary.. edgy and hardy
[11:47] <s_spiff> so no reason it shouldnt work on intrepid
[11:47] <b1n42y> s_spiff: if after disabling onboard, realtek works try moving realtek to dif pci slot and enabling onboard
[11:47] <hmw> rdw200169 - in other terms, what is the security issue with a flash drive?
[11:47] <joakimk> I've installed (apt-get) libpqxx-dev. Do I need to reboot or something for these to take effect? I'm still getting compiler errors.
[11:47] <s_spiff> b1n42y, i will do that in a bit and get back to you.
[11:47] <b1n42y> s_spiff: its a suggestion
[11:47] <disown> something like '$show-alert: out of battery'
[11:48] <s_spiff> b1n42y, i understand :) thanks.
[11:48] <b1n42y> np hope it works
[11:48] <rdw200169> hmw, wait, i was thinking of pam_usb... i.e. libpam-usb
[11:49] <Oli``> Anybody know how I can "virtually" merge the contents of two real directories into one? I have two directories on two drives storing different parts of a ton of video clips. I want to merge them (in a read-only way, if that simplifies things) so I can put them out as a samba share and they'll look like one directory
[11:49] <hmw> rdw200169 - are UUIDs changeable?
[11:49] <rdw200169> hmw: http://pamusb.org/  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=17571   http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Pam_usb_authentication
[11:50] <rdw200169> hmw, those links should get you started in trying this.. just be careful!  if you screw up your PAM configuration(s)... you computer becomes quite difficult to login to!
[11:50] <Dr_willis_AAO> you can change a drives UUID yes. :)
[11:50] <hmw> Dr_willis_AAO - thx
[11:51] <quibbler> joakimk: you may have more help in ##c++
[11:51] <rdw200169> hmw, i used to use that PAM module to immediately lock the screen when i pulled the thumb drive out... then when i needed to log in, i put the drive back in *and* put in my password
[11:52] <hmw> rdw200169 - nice
[11:52] <hmw> rdw200169 - how will sudo look like?
[11:52] <rdw200169> hmw, sudo is un-changed and for the most part, unrelated
[11:52] <hmw> ic
[11:52] <rdw200169> hmw, sudo relies upon PAM, just like everything else
[11:52] <hmw> doesnt matter, i am a fan of sudo -i
[11:53] <rdw200169> hmw, if PAM says a user is authenticated, then sudo is happy
[11:53] <hmw> i want to be asked, and answering with y/n
[11:53] <rdw200169> hmw, then sudo authentication gets into visudo, but that's a story for another day
[11:54] <tjanda> im back
[11:54] <rdw200169> hmw, if you look in the /etc/pam.d directory, you will notice that many login related apps have their own files in there
[11:54] <rdw200169> hmw, and most of them point to common-*
[11:54] <dayo_> mv doesn't work on directories. what does?
[11:55] <b1n42y> has anyone successfully setup evolution with gmail and imap
[11:55] <rdw200169> hmw, if you want, for example, sudo to *always* request a password from /etc/password, then you would modify /etc/pam.d/sudo to reflect that
[11:55] <hmw> rdw200169 - that's why i wanted an LFS as a workstation - too much stuff in Linux *g* I am still learing
[11:55] <rdw200169> hmw, LFS?
[11:56] <hmw> dayo_ what are you to move?
[11:56] <hmw> rdw200169 - www.linuxfromscratch.org
[11:57] <rdw200169> hmw, ah, you have fun with that, i'll be content to just tweak what works to do what i want
[11:57] <Lou_> I have the delay for the repeat key set as long as possible, but it is still far too sensitive. How can I lengthen the delay more?
[11:57] <Administrator___> This is my first time to use ubuntu, any good suggestion?
[11:57] <hmw> rdw200169 - LOL
[11:57] <dayo_> hmw: i want to move a directory.
[11:57] <hmw> dayo_ what dirs are you trying to move? mv should do it normally.
[11:58] <rdw200169> hmw, just go do some research in PAM and you'll be setting up ldap directories with Kerberos back-ends in no time
[11:58] <dayo_> hmw: hang on, let me try something
[11:58] <hmw> dayo_ maybe you tried to move something, which contains a mount point to another file system
[11:59] <nosyc> what sftp server should I use?
[11:59] <rdw200169> nosyc, openssh-server is a sftp server
[12:00] <nosyc> so I connect to it on the ssh port?
[12:00] <quibbler> Oli``: i don't know if this is what you are looking for ; but have a look : http://myhowtosandprojects.blogspot.com/2008/07/install-and-use-unionfs-merging.html

[12:03] <rdw200169> nosyc, it's psftp
[12:04] <rdw200169> nosyc, from ubuntu, it's really easy, just Places -> Connect to Network... ; then just select server type as SSH
[12:04] <oCean_> nosyc: might also want to look at filezilla: http://filezilla-project.org/

[12:05] <joakimk> I think this is not so much a C++ issue...
[12:05] <Art4k> who can help me with nvidia drivers ?
[12:05] <oCean_> !info freemat
[12:05] <joakimk> Doesn't it look like I've got libpq-fe installed?
[12:06] <rdw200169> nosyc, the SSL thing... the transport layer is encrypted, that's kinda the point of SSH (Secure Shell)
[12:06] <maximoos> Hail !
[12:06] <nosyc> rdw200169: I've given up on sftp and am going to try ftps instead
[12:06] <nosyc> rdw200169: I just need to generate a certificate for vsftpd
[12:06] <rdw200169> nosyc, well, i tried.
[12:07] <s_spiff> anyone know how to install a unbranded webcam with a inbuilt mic?
[12:07] <rdw200169> nosyc, on this one, you should blame windows :)
[12:07] <degrit> I have a laptop with damn small linux (yeuch) and I would like to install ubuntu on it, but the dvd drive is broken. Also the boot from usb doesn't seem to work, even tho it's in the bios options. Any ideas ?
[12:07] <s_spiff> !webcam
[12:07] <nosyc> rdw200169: nope, winscp usually works fine
[12:07] <alex_> !matlab
[12:08] <jrib> alex_: there's a page on help.ubuntu.com/community about matlab
[12:08] <joakimk> Noone in the Ubuntu/C++ crossover here? :)
[12:08] <jrib> joakimk: huh?
[12:08] <jrib> !install | degrit
[12:09] <joakimk> jrib: thought that'd catch some attention :P
[12:09] <b1n42y> s_spiff: so did it work?
[12:09] <joakimk> jrib: I can't get my c++ project to compile on my new ubuntu box
[12:09] <joakimk> jrib: it can't find libpq
[12:09] <oCean_> alex_: matlab is not in the repositories, "freemat" is. Installing matlab might be a problem. However, you can share your current problem here, and if anyone knows the answer, you'll probably here it...
[12:09] <jrib> joakimk: be more specific/provide more details
[12:09] <s_spiff> b1n42y, haven't gotten to that yet.. just installing some packages
[12:09] <s_spiff> will do in a bit
[12:09] <s_spiff> brb
[12:09] <oCean_> hm
[12:09] <degrit> jrib, aye aye cap'n
[12:09] <b1n42y> np message me im curious
[12:09] <jrib> degrit: there's also some way to boot from a .iso on your hard drive with grub iirc, but I have no idea how.  You might rty to figure out how to do that if the methods in the wiki fail
[12:10] <joakimk> jrib: Well, apt-cache libpq gives: http://paste.ubuntu.com/124221/. I installed libpqxx
[12:10] <nosyc> joakimk: #include <postgresql/libpq-fe.h> ?
[12:10] <Dr_willis_AAO> ive seen booting iso files befor.. but you need to get a proper kenel/initrd  for that
[12:10] <jrib> joakimk: what are you compiling?
[12:10] <joakimk> nosyc: let me try
[12:10] <joakimk> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/124222/
[12:10] <joakimk> jrib: compiler output
[12:10] <degrit> jrib, thanks, will try
[12:10] <b1n42y> anyone know if pidgin has a plugin that displays irc messages addressed to user if irc window not in focus?
[12:11] <nosyc> b1n42y: #pidgin
[12:11] <jrib> joakimk: you installed libpqxx-dev ?
[12:11] <ville_> How can i found finnish chat ?
[12:11] <rdw200169> nosyc, wait, for the ssh thing, did you make sure that your desktop was accessible?  i.e. no firewall blocking port 22?
[12:11] <bazhang> !fi
[12:11] <bazhang> ville_, /join #ubuntu-fi
[12:12] <nosyc> rdw200169: it's a server and yes. The problem is probably that I'm not actually running openssh but sshd or something
[12:12] <joakimk> jrib: yes both :)
[12:12] <joakimk> nosyc: that seems to work
[12:12] <dayo_> hmw: i was trying to move another user's directory as root. didn't work with mv, until i chown -R root:root *
[12:13] <nosyc> joakimk: you are welcome
[12:13] <joakimk> nosyc: but why postgresql/ ?
[12:13] <joakimk> nosyc: thanks :D
[12:13] <luciash> hi, any idea why my ~/.bash_profile exports are ignored in Intrepid while it worked earlier when logging in ?
[12:13] <spsneo> There are few repositories which are local and few others like medibuntu behind  proxy. How can I use apt-get to use both repositories.
[12:13] <jrib> luciash: be more specific....
[12:13] <rdw200169> nosyc, well, sshd *is* openssh-server
[12:13] <herve76__> Hello
[12:13] <nosyc> rdw200169: why doesn't it work then. I can ssh in
[12:14] <spsneo> There are few repositories which are local and few others like medibuntu behind  proxy. How can I use apt-get to use both repositories. I don't know how to ignore proxy for few addresses
[12:14] <luciash> e.g. i have "export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/" there but echo $JAVA_HOME prints nothing
[12:14] <luciash> jrib: ^
[12:14] <hmw> dayo_ that should also work (just tried it) - maybe some programs had a file open in that directory? lsof shows opened files
[12:14] <oCean_> luciash: I'm not sure what 'while it worked earlier' is, but in intrepid i have ~/.profile (working) and not ~/.bash_profile
[12:15] <jrib> luciash: have you closed your terminal and opened it again?
[12:15] <luciash> oCean_: it worked in Hardy
[12:15] <herve76__> I have a simple permission question. I have two users on the same group. I setup a folder as 770 and this file is owned by this group. my problem is that the second user cannot access to this folder and I don't understand why
[12:15] <luciash> i'll try ~/.profile
[12:15] <herve76__> Can someone please help me
[12:15] <jrib> luciash: erm.  Wait.  Are you using automatic login?
[12:15] <luciash> jrib: yep, i tried many times, logging out of the desktop environment or launching new terminals
[12:15] <herve76__> I have been struggling with this for the past two hours. I am running out of ideas.
[12:15] <oCean_> herve76__: just state your problem/issue/question, and see if anyone know the answer
[12:16] <luciash> jrib: nope, i use gdm
[12:16] <rdw200169> nosyc, check the end of /var/log/auth.log
[12:16] <luciash> no automatic login
[12:16] <freedomyug> can anyone help me fixing this ltsp issue on ubuntu interpid (8.10) , i am looking at the frozen screen since last one day and need to fix it asap on this remote site
[12:16] <herve76__> How can I setup a folder so it can be accessed by user from the same group ?
[12:17] <Boohbah> freedomyug: can you be more specific?
[12:17]  * luciash is going to symlink his ~/.bash_profile
[12:17] <Boohbah> herve76__: chgrp group file
[12:17] <jrib> !permissions > herve76__
[12:18] <freedomyug> boohbah, i have installe dubuntu 8.10 and then installed ltsp server etc, built i386 client image
[12:18] <nosyc> how do I sync my date/time with a timeserver?
[12:18] <herve76__> I know how to setup permissions
[12:18] <jrib> !ntp | nosyc
[12:18] <jrib> herve76__: then what's your question?
[12:18] <oCean_> nosyc: "ntpdate"
[12:18] <freedomyug> as soon as i connect the client , it does pxe boot, tftp, takes up image using nbd, and then stuck at graphical login,
[12:19] <herve76__> chgrp or chown do not do it
[12:19] <rdw200169> nosyc, ntp
[12:19] <jrib> herve76__: do not do WHAT?
[12:19] <herve76__> the second user cannot read the folder
[12:19] <nosyc> oCean_: thanks
[12:19] <rdw200169> ah, i wasn't paying attention
[12:19] <herve76__> but the folder is set to be owned by the group
[12:19] <jrib> herve76__: because you haven't given the folder's group read permissions then
[12:19] <Boohbah> herve76__: does the file have group read and execute permissions?
[12:19] <shadeslayer> hi i am having a bit of a problem with CPU scaling
[12:19] <herve76__> yes Idid
[12:19] <herve76__> 770
[12:19] <jrib> herve76__: pastebin.
[12:19] <shadeslayer> i used this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=248867
[12:20] <herve76__> pastebin ? what is that ?
[12:20] <shadeslayer> but my configurration isnt being saved
[12:20] <shadeslayer> !pastebin
[12:20] <jrib> herve76__: run a series of commands that shows what you are saying and pastebin them
[12:20] <luciash> oCean_: hmm, .profile symlinked to .bash_profile behaves the same when i launch new terminal
[12:20] <nosyc> as root: ntpdate[24080]: step-systime: Operation not permitted
[12:20] <jrib> luciash: .profile will only get sourced on login
[12:20] <Dr_willis_AAO> luciash,  i was thinking ONE or the OTHER got read by the login shells..
[12:21] <WizardJames> O wow things have changed so much in the past years,   connected to my vista computer without a problem..heck, most xp computeres wont connect to my vista computer without something going wrong
[12:21] <jrib> nosyc: ... read the links ubottu gave you instead of just running commands
[12:21] <Dr_willis_AAO> luciash,  xterm -ls, would read .bash_profile if it exists not .bashrc,,, normal xterm would read just .bashrc :)
[12:21] <oCean_> luciash: edit ~.bashrc
[12:21] <oCean_> luciash: that'll do the trick
[12:21] <luciash> i will try, thanks
[12:22] <Dr_willis_AAO> luciash,  to test all this you can put a 'echo This is .bash_profile' or similer line at the start of eah file.. to see when each one is getting read.
[12:22] <nosyc> jrib: have you read it? It says run `ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com`
[12:22] <Dr_willis_AAO> luciash,  and you can 'source'  one from the others.. ie. .bash_profile could 'source .bashrc'  at the end.
[12:23] <freedomyug> boohbah, any clues ?
[12:23] <freedomyug> on ltsp stuff?
[12:23] <luciash> well, i'll try to play with it... i have no idea when it got changed and why exactly
[12:24] <Boohbah> freedomyug: unfortunately you haven't provided enough information for anyone here to diagnose the issue
[12:24] <herve76__> now it is working I had relog again to make it work
[12:24] <herve76__> thankx guys
[12:24] <herve76__> have a good idea
[12:25] <Boohbah> freedomyug: do you see any relevant error messages in syslog or Xorg.0.log ?
[12:25] <jrib> nosyc: none of the links say that.  You might get the same error though if you do what the links do say
[12:25] <shadeslayer> so no idea of what im doing wrong??
[12:25] <s_spiff> b1n42y, didn't work... tried a different PCI slot... and still not detected...
[12:25] <s_spiff> :(
[12:25] <freedomyug> i dont see anything fishy in the error logs, neither Xorg.6.log on client, nor in syslogs, ldm.log etc
[12:25] <shadeslayer> i save the file,its contents are the same,but it gives me a error
[12:26] <freedomyug> there is an nbd error, which is ignorable., as i also switched to nfs and tested, its the same
[12:26] <sky_> how i can install linux distros under vbox ?
[12:27] <Dr_willis_AAO> sky_,  run vbox, tell it to mount the iso.. boot the iso.. start installing
[12:27] <shadeslayer> sky_: its quite simmple
[12:27] <shadeslayer> yeah
[12:27] <jrib> nosyc: so is this on a vps?
[12:27] <Dr_willis_AAO> Time to read the vbox docs. :)
[12:27] <jrib> or some virtualized system?
[12:27] <luciash> sky_: dload linux distro iso and then just follow the wizard
[12:27] <shadeslayer> then install using the iso and wallah
[12:27] <shadeslayer> *voila
[12:28] <nosyc> jrib: yeah, the clock needs to be set on the parent machine instead
[12:28] <shadeslayer> the wizards is perfect for n00bs
[12:28] <freedomyug> i does pxe boot, tftp, nbd image, initializes, and just at the graphical screen it is stuck
[12:28] <shadeslayer> i used it and found no problems
[12:28] <Dr_willis_AAO> be sure to enable the proper sound device in vbox settings :)
[12:28] <shadeslayer> and the addons
[12:28] <shadeslayer> guest addons

[12:31] <wifinet> 7iu
[12:32] <timahvo1> what is the kde equivalent of gnome-do ?
[12:32] <guntbert> paul68: yes, you must work with ssh keys
[12:32] <Dr_willis_AAO> you can set up ssh and thus scp to use no passwords by copyin gover the proper keys first
[12:32] <freedomyug> hey now i tried with my laptop as a client and it works
[12:32] <paul68> guntbert: can you explain?
[12:32] <shadeslayer> timahvo1: maybe #kubuntu
[12:33] <shadeslayer> so can anyone tell me whats wrong in the command??
[12:33] <Dr_willis_AAO> paul68,  read up on ssh and keys - and the  2 commands -->  ssh-copy-id  ssh-keygen
[12:35] <b1n42y> s_spiff: :/

[12:35] <jcdyer> Has anybody gotten a lifechat ZX-6000 wireless headset working with Ubuntu?  I was thinking about getting one, but I want to make sure it's going to work.
[12:35] <s_spiff> b1n42y,  i guess t means a new install :P
[12:35] <jcdyer> I have Intrepid
[12:36] <Boohbah> timahvo1: i don't know if there is anything equivalent in kde but this may help: http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/index.php?title=KDE_Users
[12:36] <dayo> paul68, Dr_willis: it's a guide for configging BackupPC, but the keys part is what u need
[12:36] <paul68> dayo: thanks
[12:36] <Dr_willis_AAO> paul68,  ssh  and its related parts are documented all over hte place. :) theres even books on the topic.. its an amazing tool.
[12:36] <dayo> paul68: you're welcome
[12:36] <shadeslayer> !scaling
[12:36] <jcdyer> Alternatively, is there any other wireless headset people would recommend?
[12:37] <shadeslayer> anyways
[12:37] <paul68> Dr_willis_AAO:  I know that that's why I want to explore a bit my horizon
[12:37] <dayo> jcdyer: ask the FBI :P
[12:37] <Dr_willis_AAO> paul68,  i dident even notice that  ssh-copy-id   except by accident. :)
[12:37] <Boohbah> jcdyer: something that does bluetooth HSP
[12:37] <zicho> how do i check if a port is open?
[12:37] <Dr_willis_AAO> paul68,  it makes it handyer to copy keya around

[12:39] <Cube3D> !kernel
[12:39] <gqwerty> is it possible to configure lpia kernel to other cpu family then generic 586/686, like GEODE on geode based netbook?
[12:39] <jcdyer> Boobah: so is that a no on the LifeChat ZX-6000?

[12:57] <marko_> defrysk: so i've done that, now how do i activate it?
[12:57] <yowshi> i need msome help trying to reinstall my old drivers after a failed atempt to inastall the latest in thew 180.xx series?
[12:57] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: maybe the sysfs file does not exist on that stage of boot
[12:57] <shadeslayer> hmmm
[12:57] <shadeslayer> so what do i do?
[12:57] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: becouse the modules are loaded later
[12:57] <shadeslayer> dunno
[12:57] <rdw200169> yowshi, at this point, you should really take a shot at envy-ny... it has good success restoring the nvidia drivers to a workable condition
[12:58] <defrysk> marko_, check system > prefs > appearance
[12:58] <SliMM> hello
[12:58] <yowshi> rdw200169: whats envy and where do i get it?
[12:58] <NFischer> pthagonal1, keep it synced
[12:58] <marko_> i did
[12:58] <marko_> it wasnt there
[12:58] <rdw200169> !envy | yowshi
[12:58] <NFischer> pthagonal1, well both.. sync it first and then keep it synced
[12:58] <defrysk> marko_, check customize
[12:58] <SliMM> I need help with setting up a ppp connection to acces the internet through my bt mobilephone
[12:59] <pthagonal1> NFischer: see if they will give you rsync access
[12:59] <shadeslayer> erUSUL: could you be a *bit* more quick,im running out of battery time
[12:59] <defrysk> marko_, then controls and do some nodoka adjusting
[12:59] <shadeslayer> 20min left
[12:59] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: dunno; my kernel allways load the ondemand governor by default which is the (best/what i want)
[12:59] <marko_> ahh i see
[12:59] <yowshi> rdw200169: where do i get it as opposed tto envy24?
[12:59] <SliMM> i have set up my rfcomm.conf and it worked fine, but now (after a restart), rfcomm connect 0 connects for a short time and then it disconnects, without any apperent reason
[13:00] <shadeslayer> erUSUL: could you paste your modules file??
[13:00] <NFischer> pthagonal1, rsync does not work with ftp
[13:00] <quibbler> !info envy
[13:00] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: you can just set the governor in /etc/rc.local with a call to cpufrq-set -g ondemand
[13:00] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: rc.local runs later on the boot
[13:00] <quibbler> !info envyng
[13:00] <rdw200169> !info envyng-gtk
[13:00] <Haz1> hey guys how can i install a theme under GNOME, downloaded a theme i .tar , unpacked opened the appearance manager , tried to add theme, no file to add from the .tar ... what 2 do?
[13:00] <shadeslayer> but i want to load them when the system runs
[13:00] <SliMM> help?
[13:01] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: i do not load those modules via /etc/modules they get loaded automatically
[13:01] <Bushman> hmm....
[13:01] <shadeslayer> not only at boot
[13:01] <pthagonal1> NFischer: its the best way if the remote site will give you rsync access- else dig into wget's options
[13:01] <defrysk> !envyng-gtk
[13:01] <shadeslayer> could you paste your modules file
[13:01] <shadeslayer> that would be a bit helpful
[13:01] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: that's what is supposed to happen anyway
[13:01] <defrysk> !envyng-core
[13:01] <shadeslayer> defrysk: please use query
[13:01] <marko_> defrysk: how come it doesnt look anything like the picture? in the pic its supposed to have this bar down the bottom like a MAC
[13:02] <NFischer> pthagonal1, yeah, im familiar with wget.. i just wanted to have a daemon running which does the job
[13:02] <shadeslayer> erUSUL: i dont care what it does while it boots,i want it to load the modules after the boot too
[13:02] <NFischer> pthagonal1, well thx
[13:02] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: you insisted... bus as i said no mention of cpufreq modules there http://paste.ubuntu.com/124240/
[13:02] <defrysk> marko_, you probably want awn
[13:02] <defrysk> havent seen the image tho
[13:03] <nomasteryoda> avant window navigator = awn
[13:03] <shadeslayer> hmm true
[13:03] <panesar_sandeep> !envyng
[13:03] <shadeslayer> !awn
[13:03] <panesar_sandeep> !envyng|defrysk
[13:03] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: the drivers should autoload and indeed they do on my amd athlon64 x2
[13:03] <shadeslayer> erUSUL: any ideas ??
[13:03] <marko_> defrysk: how do i get awn?
[13:03] <pthagonal1> NFischer: most big mirrors use rsync run from cron as it is most efficient on bandwidth
[13:03] <Haz1> hey guys how can i install a theme under GNOME, downloaded a theme in .tar , unpacked opened the appearance manager , tried to add theme, no file to add via the appearance preferences... any help?
[13:03] <nomasteryoda> !synaptic
[13:04] <shadeslayer> marko_: sudo apt-get install awn
[13:04] <defrysk> marko_, sudo apt-get install <foo>
[13:04] <panesar_sandeep> !awn
[13:04] <shadeslayer> erUSUL: well dont
[13:04] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: i dunno what is the problem... i did not have to do anything for the cpufrq to work on my system
[13:04] <marko_> whats <foo>?
[13:04] <Bushman> every tutorial/howto/example i've found about bluetooth audio is only for devices like headset.
[13:04] <NFischer> pthagonal1, rsync does not work with ftp
[13:04] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: the how to you are folowing is superflous for me
[13:04] <shadeslayer> cpufreq crashed about a week ago
[13:05] <shadeslayer> superflous??
[13:05] <Bushman> how do i configure ubuntu to ACT like a bluetooth headset/handset ?
[13:05] <shadeslayer> ><
[13:05] <nomasteryoda> marko_, alternatively and easier for new users would be synaptic ... System, Administration, Synaptic Package Manager then search for avant
[13:05] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: yes; not needed at all
[13:05] <defrysk> marko_, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo
[13:05] <Bushman> so i can discover the audio service on the mobile device and connect to it from the mobile device?
[13:05] <shadeslayer> hm
[13:05] <marko_> thanks
[13:05] <shadeslayer> grr
[13:06] <shadeslayer> this is making me a bit mad
[13:06] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: just remove powernowd and everything should work
[13:06] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: at least it works for me
[13:06] <panesar_sandeep> bushman,https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[13:06] <shadeslayer> i dont have powernowd LOL
[13:07] <panesar_sandeep> !powernowd
[13:07] <shadeslayer> :P
[13:07] <Veselushko> !help
[13:07] <shadeslayer> use kpowersave
[13:08] <pthagonal1> NFischer: I think you said that already. However big mirrors use rsync to keep in sync and then serve individual files by ftp as well. They don't sync with each other via ftp.  Maybe http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/mirror will help
[13:08] <NFischer> i see thx, pthagonal1
[13:08] <Bushman> panesar_sandeep: i'll repeat since you haven't understand me: how do i configure ubuntu to ACT like a bluetooth headset/handset ?
[13:09] <shadeslayer> Bushman: Acting classes??
[13:09] <shadeslayer> :P
[13:09] <yowshi> rdw200169: envyng says the driver i want is already enabled but my system wont use it
[13:09] <Veselushko> !foo
[13:09] <shadeslayer> hahaha
[13:09] <shadeslayer> !foobar
[13:09] <shadeslayer> !foo bar
[13:09] <defrysk> shadeslayer, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets
[13:09] <Veselushko> !foo is foobar
[13:10] <bazhang> shadeslayer, please stop
[13:10] <Veselushko> !foobar
[13:10] <shadeslayer> ok
[13:10] <Bushman> shadeslayer: ha... ha... ha... -_-'
[13:10] <Veselushko> !foobar is foo
[13:10] <Veselushko> !foobar
[13:10] <Veselushko> hm :)
[13:10] <bazhang> Veselushko, /msg ubottu in private
[13:10] <defrysk> foo is nnot fubar
[13:11] <quibbler> Haz1: system-preferences-appearance and drag and drop the tar file on the theme tab
[13:11] <Bushman> anyone?
[13:11] <panesar_sandeep> bushman, does that mean u wish to play audio on an external device and receive it via your system??
[13:11] <Bushman> yup
[13:11] <Bushman> something like that
[13:11] <weatherkid> I have a big problem with an Atheros card:'(
[13:12] <shadeslayer> bazhang: sorry
[13:12] <Bushman> panesar_sandeep: i want my system to work exactly like bt headset
[13:12] <shadeslayer> i want something opposite to that
[13:12] <Bushman> panesar_sandeep: or wireles handset you might say
[13:12] <panesar_sandeep> bushman, wats make n model of your bluetooth device

[13:13] <Bushman> panesar_sandeep: i want it to work with ANY model of mobile device
[13:13] <Bushman> i don't need model-specyfic solution
[13:13] <sky_> anyone know some good FTP client ?
[13:13] <bazhang> Bushman, you need to check hcl
[13:13] <Bushman> or you mean the bluetooth dongle?
[13:13] <panesar_sandeep> bushman, yup
[13:14] <Veselushko> !xubuntu
[13:14] <defrysk> weatherkid, sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid
[13:14] <Bushman> sorry, what's hcl?
[13:14] <ikonia> sky_: ftp is the "norm", use synaptic to try some ones you may like
[13:14] <bazhang> Bushman, it wont work with 100% of devices
[13:14] <ikonia> Bushman: hardware compatability list
[13:14] <defrysk> weatherkid, that should fix it
[13:14] <weatherkid> defrysk: on LTS that would be...
[13:14] <defrysk> weatherkid, ooh
[13:15] <panesar_sandeep> !hcl|bushman
[13:15] <panesar_sandeep> bushman, wats the make n model of your bluetooth dongle, or is it a local one without exact secifications
[13:16] <WizardJames> Hmm  Tried a few ways and cant find it..   trying to "mount" a shared folder from my vista computer on my ubuntu laptop,  basicly so i can play my music on my laptop without copying all the files
[13:16] <defrysk> weatherkid, http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download
[13:16] <shadeslayer> yayy the electricity is back
[13:16] <shadeslayer> erUSUL: any other commands??
[13:16] <xy> hello
[13:16] <shadeslayer> hey
[13:17] <defrysk> weatherkid, in the site are docs on how to install the drivers and what not
[13:17] <quibbler> !welcom | xy:
[13:17] <erUSUL> shadeslayer: well i would just put "cpufreq-set -g ondemand" on /etc/rc.local
[13:17] <quibbler> !welcome | xy:
[13:17] <pthagonal1> Anyone here an expert on iostat?   If I do iostat -d 1 5 /dev/sda  I only get Blk_read/s and Blk_read results for the first set of results - the next 4 are always zero.  Known bug?
[13:17] <DexterF> hi
[13:17] <xy> 3ks
[13:18] <panesar_sandeep> bushman, it also depends on your mobile device whether it is supports wireless audio transfer to devices other than headsets
[13:18] <quibbler> !welcome | DexterF
[13:18] <Bushman> panesar_sandeep: http://bushman.pastebin.com/d512a57cc
[13:18] <Bushman> that's my dongle
[13:18] <DexterF> went to a remote box with ssh -X to run mplayer from there. works, but no sound, mplayer says [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm_hw.c:1248:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: Device or resource busy
[13:18] <weatherkid> defrysk: shouldn't that package that you told me earlier work but instead of intreped hardy
[13:18] <DexterF> how come? should have thought alsa mixes it like any other app
[13:18] <Bushman> and my device is (don't laugh) Windows Mobile 6 powered HTC Blue Angel
[13:19] <defrysk> weatherkid, ath5k is the new module and your lts kernel does not have that module yet and has to be installed manually now
[13:20] <weatherkid> defrysk: thanks
[13:20] <Bushman> panesar_sandeep: let's focus on the ubuntu first
[13:20] <Laeborg> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5200135&postcount=5 - im trying this, but when I try ./configure it says its missing the jack package, but apt-get says the jack package is the newest version
[13:20] <weatherkid> defrysk: compat-wireless of the old one
[13:20] <defrysk> weatherkid, if you click the download link youll get detailed howto's and info before install
[13:20] <OptimusPrime> Is there any way to restart audio? Kind of like restarting networking. My audio suddenly doesn't work and I don't want to reboot to fix it
[13:21] <bazhang> Bushman, not sure about bluetooth but with ubuntu you can use that as a wireless modem http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?pid=177252
[13:21] <Bushman> panesar_sandeep: i have acces to diferent models of mobiles with bluetooth audio support
[13:21] <panesar_sandeep> bushman, there is an option in ubuntu for configuring bluetooth devices, but i'm not sure if it wud work as wireless audio client
[13:21] <panesar_sandeep> bushman, wait
[13:22] <xy> ubuntu & IRC newbie to this world~
[13:22] <DexterF> can I have 32bit mplayer in 64bit ubuntu somehow?
[13:22] <Boohbah> Bushman, panesar_sandeep: that really depends on what bluetooth profiles it supports
[13:23] <xy> there are so many messages, how can i deal with it!?
[13:23] <KazaLite> hi all
[13:23] <Boohbah> xy: break it into smaller pieces
[13:23] <bazhang> xy, ask a question, someone will highlight you
[13:23] <panesar_sandeep> bushman, it may be, ihv used bletooth for file transfers but dis is a bit different, let me check
[13:23] <ircmaxell> How can I tell what kernel module is running my trackpad (it's failing after suspend, and I want to try to reload the module)
[13:24] <craryfans> hi
[13:24] <OptimusPrime> Is there any way to restart audio? Kind of like restarting networking. My audio suddenly doesn't work and I don't want to reboot to fix it
[13:24] <bazhang> xy then when you respond, highlight them by typing first two or three letters of their nick and hit tab key
[13:24] <craryfans> anybody?
[13:24] <bazhang> craryfans, need a question
[13:24] <craryfans> en ?
[13:24] <ircmaxell> OptimusPrime: I've had luck with `sudo alsa force-reload`
[13:24] <craryfans> waht?
[13:24] <Bushman> Boohbah: what do you mean by "profiles it support"? if the audio in both work in one way, it should work in the other way (atleast with the linux and BT dongle since it's only an interface between radio and system
[13:25] <bazhang> xy please keep it in channel
[13:25] <craryfans> alsaconfig?
[13:25] <OptimusPrime> ircmaxell: that did it
[13:25] <OptimusPrime> thanks

[13:41] <Dykam> How to check which file is runned when executing a command, to see which folder it is located. Don't wan to check all the PATH dirs

[13:41] <ircmaxell> which
[13:41] <Dykam> thanks
[13:41] <Haz1> hey guys how can i mount a partition in to a folder?
[13:42] <spaceninja> Am I the only one who is experiencing a buggy border window?
[13:42] <Dykam> and how to copy a string to clipboard? (echo test > ?)
[13:42] <ircmaxell> Haz1: sudo mount /dev/partition /path/to/folder
[13:42] <Haz1> tnx
[13:42] <cooldduuudde> spaceninja: i have a buggy border window too in 8.10. it's the title bar
[13:42] <spaceninja> yes
[13:43] <cooldduuudde> wen i have mouse over minimize button the bar gets decolorised
[13:43] <spaceninja> I mean, is it gnome or is it some wierd ubuntu thing?
[13:44] <cooldduuudde> it happened ever since i installed KDE wid gnome
[13:44] <rdw200169> cooldduuudde, are you using compiz?  i.e. advanced wobbly windows and all that?
[13:44] <rakudave> spaceninja: Known issue, no fix. But you could install emerald, a different window-decorator...
[13:44] <cooldduuudde> rdw200169: i tried disabling and enabling everything in compiz
[13:44] <rdw200169> rakudave, i was gonna suggest the same thing
[13:44] <spaceninja> yes I'm using some flashy things
[13:44] <spaceninja> but I guess it's ok
[13:44] <Besogon> cooldduuudde, turn off compiz
[13:44] <shadowhywind> does anyone have any ideas on how to change the desktop picture from the console?
[13:45] <rdw200169> cooldduuudde, the window borders are controlled by metacity, a different window manager, like emerald, could resolve your problem
[13:45] <spaceninja> where do you turn of compiz
[13:45] <spaceninja> ?
[13:45] <rdw200169> shadowhywind, you have to do that in ~/.gconf, not fun

[13:55] <Eritrean> Is that a video editor as well?
[13:55] <Veselushko> and then: pptp <IP> user <user> password <password>
[13:55] <alienbrain> hareldvd: but that won't have it permanently
[13:56] <Guest11247> Hi, I have little problem with xUbuntu. I want install it on one old pc but after first restart, installer show only black screen and wait for anything. I try use mini.iso but this image need network connection and when I configure IP adress,gateway,... system tell me that "no network found" but when I use same data in INSERT linux(Ultimate boot cd) or RedHat(Live CD) it works property. Any solution? :( Is possible that xUbuntu need net
[13:56] <Guest11247> installation ? :(
[13:56] <Veselushko> and then: route add default dev ppp0
[13:56] <KazaLite> since there are no anti-virus programs for linux.....then what measure do i need to take to ensure that my machine is secure?

[14:18] <shadeslayer> :P
[14:18] <Besogon> yowshi, did you change /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common ?
[14:18] <ActionParsnip1> i'd sack of vista and stick with xp and apply the vista theme
[14:18] <panesar_sandeep> shadeslayer, candy ??
[14:18] <tuffgong> shadeslayer: how do i run in firefox in terminal
[14:18] <shadeslayer> eye candy
[14:18] <fearful> t_, I have photoshop on ubuntu
[14:18] <yowshi> Besogon: i have no idea what that is or how to chamnge it
[14:18] <hmw> Vista> and Linux>Candy,Work
[14:19] <Titan8990> tuffgong, open the terminal and type: "firefox"
[14:19] <tuffgong> it says no display specifief
[14:19] <ActionParsnip1> tuffgong: type: firefox &  in terminal
[14:19] <Besogon> yowshi, did you change /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common ?
[14:19] <Crazy|One> hi all, i recently installed ubuntu onto a Toshiba L300D Laptop, all is fine until i try to watch a film or run a 3d graphic game.  I installed the proprietary drivers for my graphics card
[14:19] <shadeslayer>  tuffgong: do Alt+F2>terminal>firefox
[14:19] <WizardJames> odog Not sure,  nvidia's nforce drivers come with the lan drivers..   dunno what they got for linux drivers or whatnot ,
[14:19] <yowshi> Besogon: no because i dont actually know how to do that
[14:19] <tuffgong> shadeslayer, that throws an error saying no display specified
[14:19] <Besogon> yowshi, it was first. Second, open file /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common and add something like this line: DISABLED_MODULES="nv nvidia_new"
[14:19] <shadeslayer> :O
[14:19] <tuffgong> should i use gui terminal or the Alt+F2 terminal?
[14:19] <yowshi> Besogon: what the heck does first, second mean
[14:20] <Titan8990> Besogon, there should never be a need to blacklist video drivers because they should not load if they are not defined in xorg.conf
[14:20] <ActionParsnip1> tuffgong: all will work, if you use terminal and close the terminal, firefox will close too
[14:20] <hmw> cant i send an "eval" command to the background with & ?
[14:20] <Besogon> yowshi, see examle (but it only for my graphics card) http://pastebin.com/m24a984a2
[14:20] <t_> if you go to on line collage you need vista  to work with them  xp for older games ubuntu for surfing
[14:20] <tuffgong> ActionParsnip1, thanks
[14:20] <shadeslayer> tuffgong:  use alt+F2 then type terminal and then type firefox in the DOS like terminal
[14:20] <fearful> t_, why can't you work with on line collage?
[14:20] <sefer> ubuntu kullanan arkadaşlar
[14:21] <Crazy|One> no help available for my situation?
[14:21] <fearful> t_, I'm sure ubuntu can do that much better than vista
[14:21] <Titan8990> Besogon, not defining them is as good as blacklisting them
[14:21] <panesar_sandeep> t_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[14:21] <nosyc> why are tasks I send to the background with & starting as "stopped" even though I can use `bg` to start them?
[14:21] <tuffgong> 'DOS' like terminal... lol!!!!! :)
[14:21] <odog> shadeslayer, whast has the led colors got to do with speed?
[14:21] <ActionParsnip1> tuffgong: huh?
[14:22] <shadeslayer> odog: orange+orange == 100Mbps
[14:22] <Besogon> yowshi, have you ubuntu 8.10?
[14:22] <shadeslayer> odog: green+orange == 1000Mbps
[14:22] <t_> you have to have vista to do online collage
[14:22] <yowshi> Besogon: ok thats done
[14:22] <yowshi> Besogon: yes i am on intrepid 64 bit
[14:22] <Crazy|One> does anybody know what i need to check if i get a distorted screen when trying to run a game, or choppy screen when watching a film?
[14:23] <ActionParsnip1> t_: thats ridiculous, your college sucks if it NEEDS vista
[14:23] <fearful> ActionParsnip1, hah! agreed.
[14:23] <ActionParsnip1> Crazy|One: have you installed video drivers?
[14:23] <t_> whats the best ubuntu fof 733 mhz  celeron
[14:23] <mlindenmann> Hi there,
[14:23] <mlindenmann> i ran into an obvious well known problem with libpam-smbpass; First problem was, that i was not able to log into ubuntu after an update (1month ago) after that i dropped into single-user mode as root and purged libpam-smbpass ... that fixed the logon problem, but now i cannot start up samba (nmbd running / smbd not running) - any ideas?
[14:23] <fearful> t_, try xubuntu
[14:23] <t_> this is 8.4
[14:23] <Crazy|One> ActionParsnip1 i have installed the Proprietary drivers for my gfx card
[14:23] <fearful> t_, 8.4?
[14:23] <yowshi> Besogon: alt + ctrl + backspace now?
[14:24] <ActionParsnip1> t_: i'd suggest xubuntu but doesnt mean its the best. You could easily install unbuntu and use fluxbox, then you would have all the gnome apps with a light DE
[14:24] <Besogon> yowshi, yes
[14:24] <t_> 8.04
[14:24] <panesar_sandeep> !samba
[14:24] <odog> shadeslayer, how sure are you on that advice you just gave?
[14:24] <ActionParsnip1> Crazy|One: ok, what game is giving you grief?
[14:24] <delaneys> hey guys slight problem for a while now the following packages refuse to update...kde4libs-bin kdelibs5  kdelibs5-dev

[14:25] <shadeslayer> ive seen them myself
[14:25] <shadeslayer> i have a 100 MBps card,my friend has a 1GBps card
[14:25] <ActionParsnip1> Crazy|One: wht video card?
[14:25] <t_> what is somba
[14:25] <Besogon> Titan8990, why does he cant install nvidia driver then? He have 8.10 64 bit.
[14:26] <ActionParsnip1> !info samba | t_

[14:26] <odog> WizardJames, it seems the driver being used is called  forcedeth
[14:26] <Crazy|One> im just checking model right now
[14:26] <assarix> Hi, my sound in Ubuntu got muted somehow. I can't find where to unmute it. The strange thing is that the master volume thing on the panel is not muted and is at 100%. I checked mplayer, it's not muted and at 100%. The beep command works. Sound in Windows (it's a dual boot) works. I don't know any other places where to check. I don't know what caused the mute, I didn't install updates or something like that ... Anyone?
[14:26] <ActionParsnip1> Crazy|One: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-494999.html
[14:26] <Crazy|One> ATI Radeon™ 3100 Graphics
[14:26] <shadeslayer> odog: ask in ##hardware
[14:26] <fearful> assarix, have you seen if the PCM is not muted or put down?
[14:27] <shadeslayer> to get a second opinion
[14:27] <ActionParsnip1> assarix: try restarting alsa / hal / pulse
[14:27] <Crazy|One> ActionParsnip1 checking the site now,
[14:27] <CrocoJet> is possible make "reset" sounbd of ubuntu intrepid? if yes .. how?
[14:27] <Dykam> ActionParsnip1, remember you told me to boot ubuntu with noacpi, because of ndiswrapper, ubuntu fails to boot at avahi deamon (something names like that)
[14:27] <CrocoJet> sounbd = sound
[14:27] <hmw> assarix - double click the volume icon and check the PCM setting
[14:27] <shadeslayer> CrocoJet: im working on that myself
[14:27] <odog> ok cheers shadeslayer . I dont think the lights you described are correct as im defo on 100mbs and my colours are green orange
[14:27] <ActionParsnip1> Dykam: see what that is and remove it if its unneeded
[14:27] <shadeslayer> well ill ask in ##hardware to confirm
[14:28] <yowshi> Besogon: nope black screen again
[14:28] <CrocoJet> shadeslayer, oh ok ... sometimes he stop to work and only rebooting computer
[14:28] <mlindenmann> i ran into an obvious well known problem with libpam-smbpass; First problem was, that i was not able to log into ubuntu after an update (1month ago) after that i dropped into single-user mode as root and purged libpam-smbpass ... that fixed the logon problem, but now i cannot start up samba (nmbd running / smbd not running) - any ideas?
[14:28] <mlindenmann> testparm returns that the config is OK - and no i will not use SWAT or webmin^^
[14:28] <shadeslayer> :)
[14:28] <Dykam> ActionParsnip1 http://avahi.org/
[14:28] <BaliBluesGay> sapa yang gay disini ?
[14:29] <Dykam> don't I'll remove it
[14:29] <hareldvd> alienbrain: Sorry, I didn't find a proper answer yet. I think that the answer has to do with user level configuration files however, if you look into /etc/network/interfaces maybe if you do something like: http://pastebin.com/m3a613d2d (taken from a debian system)
[14:29] <Besogon> yowshi, hm... May be you will install driver from deb? I never work with ubuntu 64 bit... Sorry.
[14:29] <jhonnyboy> Upon a warm reboot from the Ubuntu OS my computer freezes at the BIOS screen. I am dual booting XP and Ubuntu. Does anyone know what it could be?
[14:29] <shadeslayer> i want to find a way to reset everything
[14:29] <BaliBluesGay> my header was gone :((
[14:30] <shadeslayer> header??
[14:30] <yowshi> Besogon: yeah ponly i cant get debs of the drivers nor will X ever  shut down for me
[14:30] <alienbrain> hareldvd: no problem man. I couldn't find anything either. but thanks a bunch for the help
[14:30] <wers> on the right click menu on firefox, the first option is to open the link in a new window. is there a way for me to make it open the link in a new tab instead?
[14:30] <ActionParsnip1> Dykam: ok, you could take it out of the bootup and add the services startup  as part of your user logon
[14:30] <alienbrain> hareldvd: I guess I will uninstall networkmanager and use /etc/network/interfaces as you suggested
[14:30] <Crazy|One> ActionParsnip1 unfortunately that website is no help for my problem
[14:30] <erUSUL> wers: is the second option
[14:31] <ActionParsnip1> Dykam: not graceful but you gotta work with ndiswrapper because your usb stick is sucking in your system
[14:31] <wers> erUSUL, yep. is there a way to move them?
[14:31] <Dykam> yes
[14:31] <wers> erUSUL, to interchange?
[14:31] <hmw> jhonnyboy - weird. Maybe dmesg helps
[14:31] <yowshi> can any one please help me get my graphics drivers working.
[14:31] <erUSUL> wers: no that i know of... i just use middle click to open everything on tabs
[14:31] <Besogon> yowshi, envyng?
[14:32] <yowshi> Besogon: envy failed
[14:32] <jhonnyboy> haw: what do i look for in dmesg?
[14:32] <ActionParsnip1> yowshi: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga
[14:32] <hmw> jhonnyboy - unusual things happened at boot time
[14:32] <ActionParsnip1> yowshi: don't use envy
[14:32] <jhonnyboy> haw: Could it be Grub?
[14:32] <EdwardIII> hey
[14:32] <jhonnyboy> haw: when i reboot from XP it doesn't happen
[14:33] <yowshi> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G80 [GeForce 8800 GTS] (rev a2) ActionParsnip1
[14:33] <hmw> jhonnyboy - some hardware not used in the same ways, as XP does it, bad drivers/modules, something that can survive a warm boot. Most probably some hardware register. YOu might pull out all hardware and disable in BIOS for finding, which one is the evildoer
[14:33] <EdwardIII> when i plug a usb drive into my machine i've read it should be automounted to somewhere in /media but this doesn't seem to be happening? the port definitely works as i tried plugging a mouse into it and this works ok
[14:33] <ActionParsnip1> Crazy|One: it appears that you need extra options some place, seems the 1300 is a bit weird
[14:33] <Crazy|One> ActionParsnip1 is there any direction you could forward me to?
[14:34] <EdwardIII> this from dmesg: http://pastebin.com/d786be582
[14:34] <ActionParsnip1> yowshi: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177
[14:34] <assarix> that PCM thing was it: thanks a lot guys!
[14:34] <BaliBluesGay> my header was gone :((
[14:34] <aboSamoor> I have a missing filter for my printer PPD file, any idea ?
[14:34] <ActionParsnip1> yowshi: its fully supported there
[14:34] <BaliBluesGay> so i can'tclose anything
[14:34] <yowshi> ActionParsnip1: yes they are installed already.
[14:34] <jhonnyboy> haw: Damn sounds like a big job lol, have to get down to business. Thanks!
[14:34] <Crazy|One> its 3100
[14:34] <yowshi> ActionParsnip1: getting the systemt ot use it is the problem
[14:34] <Besogon> yowshi, how did you said name your video cadr?
[14:35] <ActionParsnip1> yowshi: then run: sudo nvidia-xconfig, restart x, then run: gksudo nvidia-settings

[14:46] <unop> Stilo, quote it.  "Documents and Settings"
[14:46] <unop> Stilo, or escape spaces.   Documents\ and\ Settings

[14:47] <Besogon> yowshi, well. How does you install driver if you dont know where is it and name of? go to nvidia.com and download driver
[14:47] <videoDriverHelp> can anyone help me with this freezing problem?
[14:47] <ActionParsnip1> ktebit: so you will get a graphical login
[14:47] <yowshi> Besogon: i used synaptic
[14:47] <Stilo> hm..unop.. the second solution doesnt work.. i will try the first
[14:48] <Titan8990> yowshi, synaptic does not configure xorg for you like jockey-gtk
[14:48] <ktebit> ok, see im new to linux ive only been using mandriva for about a week
[14:48] <ktebit> are there any other files that i would need to dl from the command line to make gnome work ?

[14:50] <ktebit> brb folks
[14:50] <ActionParsnip1> ktebit: please put my name at the start of your texts so it highlights as I am highlighting yours, you can tab complete my name
[14:51] <ActionParsnip1> awell: it will force users to use their home folders (i imagine you are configuring an ftp server)
[14:51] <yowshi> i never should have tried changing to the 180.xx series

[14:53] <yowshi> ActionParsnip1: i dont want to be uninstalling the xserver-sorg-video-nv do it?
[14:53] <exodus_ms> have you tried installing libglade-ruby?
[14:53] <Besogon> yowshi, first delete in synaptic files: nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel, then reboot, download drivers form nvidia.com and install it.
[14:53] <awell> Can I do that using webmin?

[14:54] <noobish_> hey all, i need a massive repo for 8.10
[14:54] <exodus_ms> panesar_sandeep, what app
[14:54] <pieces> Hi all, I just got a new video card (radeon 3650) and am running dual monitors everything is working fine, except it is treating both monitors as on big one, which would be fine but one is wide screen and one is not, is there any way to change the screen resolution of just one monitor?
[14:55] <bazhang> noobish_, how massive
[14:55] <unop> Stilo, that won't work. you'll need to use an array instead.  QUELLEN=(/root /etc /home "/windows/Dokumente und Einstellungen");  echo "${QUELLEN[@]}"
[14:55] <noobish_> the one that i currently have came with the distro, and i cant find a package with libn1 in it :(
[14:55] <ActionParsnip1> koko: if its not in dev then i would read through     dmesg | less
[14:55] <ActionParsnip1> koko: see why the drives arent coming up
[14:55] <noobish_> bazhang: big enough to find this freaking dev package :)
[14:55] <panesar_sandeep> exodus_ms, linudent
[14:55] <awell> !webmin means?
[14:55] <yowshi> ActionParsnip1: alsa i dont have any ~/Nvidia*
[14:55] <bazhang> noobish_, what are you trying to accomplish
[14:55] <awell> Sorry new to terminology
[14:55] <koko> ActionParsnip1: in live cd everything works fine
[14:55] <noobish_> i need to get iw installed
[14:55] <panesar_sandeep> exodus_ms, its a .deb package
[14:55] <hatter243> !webmin | awell
[14:56] <Besogon> yowshi, dont delete any files except those I said. Only nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel
[14:56] <wers> why do i have permissions problems with my optical media drive? brasero says that i don't have permission to eject my newly burnt disks. also, i cant mount cds (that aren't blank). any idea why?
[14:56] <noobish_> but the make is complaining about libn1 neding to be atleast version 1.0
[14:56] <noobish_> bazhang: i dont have any version installed and google / apt-cache search, are giving me no hits
[14:56] <bazhang> noobish_, iw?
[14:56] <exodus_ms> panesar_sandeep, ah, ok, I couldnt find it at http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[14:56] <hatter243> awell, just type !<searchterm> and nothing else
[14:56] <ActionParsnip1> koko: then run lsmod to see what drivers are loaded, then boot too root recovery console and do the same to comare
[14:57] <noobish_> bazhang: its a wireless module
[14:57] <erUSUL> noobish_: the libnl from intrepid is enough
[14:57] <ActionParsnip1> koko: you could also read dmesg in root console
[14:57] <panesar_sandeep> exodus_ms, try to google it, its an opensource app
[14:57] <yowshi> Besogon: nvidia.com doesnt want to give me the 177.xx series drivers. or i cant find it anyway
[14:57] <erUSUL> noobish_: i compile the git version and it works... i remember that the hardy's was too old
[14:57] <panesar_sandeep> exodus_ms, u'll find it on sourceforge.net
[14:57] <awell> ebox free?
[14:57] <noobish_> erUSUL: i dont have it
[14:58] <exodus_ms> panesar_sandeep, ya, a app for dental practice managment?
[14:58] <panesar_sandeep> exodus_ms, yup
[14:58] <erUSUL> noobish_: you do not have what=? install libnl-dev
[14:58] <Besogon> yowshi, why do you so need that series?
[14:58] <ActionParsnip1> !info ebox
[14:58] <noobish_> erUSUL: nope, no libn1-dev... cant even find the package for it
[14:58] <erUSUL> !info libnl-dev | noobish_
[14:59] <noobish_> no libn1 anything for that matter
[14:59] <erUSUL> noobish_: it is on main so you have to be able to find it
[14:59] <yowshi> Besogon: because i tried the 180 when i first upgraded to intrepid and then today when my driver system went ot hell. and today i did try installing form the run file only i had to do it from the failsafe in the grub options
[14:59] <noobish_> yeah thats fine and dandy, but its no installed on the system currently, nor does "apt-cache search libn1' return any results
[14:59] <erUSUL> noobish_: is libnL not 1
[14:59] <yowshi> Besogon: because i cant get X to shut down on my system
[14:59] <noobish_> ohhh
[14:59] <erUSUL> noobish_: libNetLink
[14:59] <noobish_> well that would explain that then :P
[15:00] <exodus_ms> panesar_sandeep, last update Sep 4 2002 ?

[15:02] <shubbar> how can i enable my webcam?
[15:02] <Crazy|One> blah his is beginning to annoy me lol, i am looking high and low, i have had ubuntu on an older laptop before and there was no problems with the display
[15:03] <exodus_ms> panesar_sandeep, you can try to find the source files and compile it your self, maybe whoever packaged the .deb left out some of the dependencies your distro needs
[15:03] <NotToBeNamed> hello together. i am interested in your opinion: which is the best free virtualization solution if i want to use features like pci- and usb-pass-through? still xen? and what hardware would you recommend? i want to set up 4-6 small virt. machines.
[15:03] <yowshi> well that was interesting the run file failed to install
[15:03] <panesar_sandeep> exodus_ms, hmmm, okay
[15:04] <erUSUL> NotToBeNamed: maybe a better place to ask is #ubuntu-server

[15:14] <JediMaster> Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knows about bonding to internet connections to a remote server to double (or more) the bandwidth?
[15:14] <phantom> Hi im going to buy a monitor and have a question: Is HDMI an alternative to DVI-D or something i soudn't live without?
[15:14] <SiDi> Hi, does anyone know where i can find libiptc ?
[15:15] <rain> alsamixer can only set how loud is voice, but it dont let me tell if I want more or less bass
[15:15] <ActionParsnip1> JediMaster: if its on the same single wan connection (single isp) you wont gain any speed
[15:15] <SiDi> phantom: HMDI is practical cause you can plug next-gen consoles on it, avoiding the cost of a tv :)
[15:15] <ActionParsnip1> JediMaster: 2 isps can give you more speed (2 wan ips)
[15:15] <Titan8990> phantom, hdmi will transfer both sound and video, its good for home theatre but not very nescessary for computers
[15:16] <JM42> hmmm, and the very reason why I want to bond two adsl lines rears it's ugly head again... bah, got disconnected lol
[15:16] <JediMaster> ActionParsnip1: that's what I'm doing
[15:16] <JediMaster> I've got two different ISPs on two seperate ADSL lines/telephone lines
[15:16] <phantom> thanx all you said exactly what i was hoping
[15:16] <rain> is there difference between mixer and equalizer?
[15:17] <scv> oi
[15:17] <JediMaster> I want to try and connect the two lines together and create some sort of bonded VPN to a remote server that has a 100Mbps net connection
[15:17] <qcjn> hi, can i add app in keyboard shortcuts ?? if so how ??
[15:17] <cooldduuudde> rain yeah it's a mixer not an equiliser
[15:18] <ActionParsnip1> JediMaster: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=481961
 ok
[15:18] <ActionParsnip1> JediMaster: if you had a cisco 1200 i can tell you how in a second :)j
[15:18] <shadeslayer> ActionParsnip1: did you find anyrhing??
[15:18] <scunizi> JediMaster: won't work
[15:18] <scv> oi
[15:18] <panesar_sandeep> archman, is it sumthing to do with LADSPA EQ Plugin
[15:19] <ActionParsnip1> JediMaster: you could have half the web accessed on one link and half on the other using route
[15:19] <archman> panesar_sandeep: ok using pulseaudio
[15:19] <archman> panesar_sandeep: or***
[15:19] <phantom> Titan8990:By the way are there converters from HDMI to DVI and do they have any kind of problems?
[15:19] <archman> panesar_sandeep: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578
[15:19] <Titan8990> phantom, there are converters, I am not sure about problems they might have
[15:19] <labeau> hello all
[15:20] <phantom> thanks
[15:20] <SiDi> qcjn: if you want to launch an app with a keyboard shortcut, go to your keyboard preferences, and when you create the shortcut, just put the name of the app as a command.
[15:20] <JediMaster> ActionParsnip1: thanks, but not quite what I was looking for
[15:20] <usuario> hola
[15:20] <wolter> !es | usuario
[15:20] <JediMaster> ActionParsnip1: surely it's possible with some sort of VPN to split the datatranser down two lines and recombine at the other end with an IP on the remote network?
[15:20] <wolter> hola
[15:21] <Titan8990> JediMaster, typically, what you are talking about is only used to add redudendency(sp) and not additional speed
[15:21] <exodus_ms> panesar_sandeep, you still looking for dental management application?
[15:21] <scunizi> JediMaster: you want to bind them kinda like the older isdn line use to work.. actually some radio stations still use that technology.. unfortunatly it won't work in your case
[15:21] <JediMaster> Titan8990: I understand failovers etc, but that's not what I'm looking for
[15:21] <qcjn> SiDi: ok
[15:22] <JediMaster> scunizi: why not?
[15:22] <JediMaster> I still don't understand why there's not a nice easy way of splitting bandwidth in a round-robin way through a vpn through two WAN IPs to a remote server that then recombines it?
[15:22] <Jampiter> Hi
[15:23] <Jampiter> Is there a script or other software available to PERMANENTLY fix the no-floppy-support bug in intrepid?
[15:23] <diuneigh> can someone help me install NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.29.pkg1.run ?
[15:23] <Jeruvy> JediMaster: are you talking upstream or downstream connections?
[15:23] <Titan8990> !nvidia | diuneigh
[15:23] <scunizi> JediMaster: you've got two pipes from two vendors going different directions.. one can't check and direct the data packets on the other.. any data responses you get can't be managed down two seperate pipes from "anywhere"
[15:23] <Titan8990> diuneigh, you should use ubuntu methods and not that package
[15:23] <ActionParsnip1> JediMaster: seems like shorewall can do it, its not something ive done
[15:23] <diuneigh> !nvidia
[15:23] <JediMaster> Jeruvy: both ideally, downstream if not
[15:24] <SiDi> May someone explain me why the hell iptables-dev doesn't install iptables.h in /usr/include and doesnt install libiptc ? :(
[15:24] <diuneigh> titan8990 you mean the 177?
[15:24] <Jeruvy> JediMaster: well I'd like a mansion and two butlers, but what are you doing is more the question :)
[15:24] <JediMaster> scunizi: I'm talking about setting up a VPN on a remote IP on a completely seperate 100Mbps connected server
[15:24] <JediMaster> Jeruvy: lol
[15:24] <exodus_ms> panesar_sandeep, well, if you are take a look here, might be something you could work with --> http://opendental.carlier-online.be/ubuntu.html
[15:25] <Jampiter> Is there a script or other software available to PERMANENTLY fix the no-floppy-support bug in intrepid?
[15:25] <diego_> me sacaron
[15:25] <diego_> #ubuntu-es
[15:25] <Jeruvy> JediMaster: most load balancing solutions simply work on downstream connections
[15:25] <JediMaster> Jeruvy: I've got backups of 3 servers coming down one adsl line at the moment, which failed last night, so I want the redundancy of two lines but also the extended speed of two lines, there's nearly 100GB of backups from one server nightly
[15:25] <gldtn> hello all.. how can I give my workspace name in gnome panel?
[15:26] <diuneigh> !nvidia
[15:26] <JediMaster> Jeruvy: As I was trying to say before, I have remote server that I could potentially install a VPN on, so there shouldn't be any problem splitting upstream and downstream between the two ISPs
[15:26] <exodus_ms> gladideg, right-click on the workspace located on the panel, choose preferences and change the names from 'Desktop 1' Desktop 2' etc
[15:27] <Jampiter> Anyone?
[15:27] <Jeruvy> JediMaster: that could be done, but it would take a fair bit of configuration, from the sounds of it, why not just establish two tunnels and use each one separately?
[15:27] <gldtn> exodus_ms, no such config option under preferences :/
[15:27] <Laibsch> I wonder if somebody can help me with working around a problem I seem to be having with shared interrupts (until a proper fix for bug 334957 is found)
[15:28] <archman> panesar_sandeep: also they say there's an eq plugin in gstreamer-plugins-bad, which we already have, but I don't know how to use it...
[15:28] <JediMaster> Jeruvy: because the bulk of the data is coming from one server, and it's tough to split it through two streams
[15:28] <JediMaster> Jeruvy: I don't mind the configuration =)
[15:28] <panesar_sandeep_> archman, does it solves your prob ??
[15:28] <philipp> i need a program to burn a iso
[15:29] <dli> philipp, k3b
[15:29] <dli> philipp, nautilus-cd-burner
[15:29] <exodus_ms> gldtn, did you right-click on the box on the panel that is representing the workspaces you have open, you should be able to do that and get 'Workspace Switcher Preferences' Dialog box
[15:29] <SiDi> Hi, does anyone know where i can find libiptc ?
[15:29] <philipp> but every program i try ends in an error message
[15:29] <panesar_sandeep_> philipp, try imgburn
[15:29] <archman> panesar_sandeep: not really, as i don't know how to use it...you found something?
[15:29] <cooldduuudde> what can i use to extract .mdf DVD images?
[15:29] <panesar_sandeep_> archman, check this if this helps u, http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Audio/Alsaequal-39666.shtml
[15:30] <archman> panesar_sandeep: you tried it?
[15:30] <scunizi> JediMaster: think of it this way.. if you have two bound channels with different isp's and your machine sends out packets.. some will travel on one isp and some on the other.. the address header in a stream of packets lets routers know what to expect.. if a router doesn't recieve what is expected because a packet goes down the other pipe then it will reqeust that it be resent.. if it's resent down the opposit pipe it'll request again, and 
[15:30] <philipp> panesar_sandeep_ there is no such programm
[15:30] <Jeruvy> JediMaster: well one of the better packages I know of is Pure Load Balancer, but I've never used it with ubuntu.
[15:30] <Jampiter> Is there a script or other software available to PERMANENTLY fix the no-floppy-support bug in intrepid? Anyone at all?
[15:31] <gldtn> exodus_ms, yes, I did get that, but there is no option to change the name.. do you think I need this>http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Environment/Tools/Workspace-Name-Applet-15863.shtml
[15:31] <Jeruvy> JediMaster: but it works (I have twin wan also)
[15:31] <erUSUL> Jeruvy: if you describe the bug or give a link to te bug report.....
[15:31] <JediMaster> scunizi: I think I'm not quite explaining this properly, I'm not asking my ISPs to do anything, I want them to send/receieve packets to/from a server I have externally from this location, that will then recombine it on that end using something like a VPN
[15:32] <JediMaster> on the remote server
[15:32] <scunizi> JediMaster: no.. I got it.. but consider that there are lots of routers that are looking at your data between you and your endpoint..
[15:32] <exodus_ms> gldtn, when you right click on the workspace box on the panel did you get a Workspace Switcher Preferences box? Inside tha box should be an area labled Workspace names:
[15:33] <archman> panesar_sandeep_, ok i'm gonna try it, you tried it already?
[15:33] <JediMaster> scunizi: the routers between my ISPs and my external server shouldn't care about it
[15:33] <drhouse_> how can i install kde 4 on ibex?
[15:33] <scunizi> JediMaster: those in-be-tween routers are expecting to pass complete packets.. if part of a packet makes it down the opposite pipe confusion results.
[15:33] <exodus_ms> gldtn, after you have made the name changes, check the box that says: Show workspace names in switcher
[15:34] <JediMaster> scunizi: I can see how synchronising the packets could be tough, but with some sort of buffer it shouldn't be too hard
[15:34] <Jampiter> Is there a script or other software available to PERMANENTLY fix the no-floppy-support bug in intrepid?
[15:34] <Jeruvy> JediMaster: it's near impossible upstream.
[15:34] <JediMaster> scunizi: these routers will see a full packet going to a server and just send it, as it'd be encapsulated in some vpn protocol
[15:35] <erUSUL> Jampiter: describe the bug or give a link to te bug report.....
[15:35] <sandeep_p> archman, does that link helped u ???
[15:35] <JediMaster> I've gotta run, will bbiab
[15:35] <wathek> hello all
[15:35] <JediMaster|away> thanks for the help guys =)
[15:35] <archman> sandeep_p, I didn't tried it yet. You??
[15:35] <Jampiter> erUSUL: I'm told it's a well known bug that the Intrepid programmers forgot to add floppy support
[15:35] <Lockpicking_Tux> does anyone knows a security discution channel?
[15:35] <scunizi> JediMaster: this is really for the offtopic channel.. but it's a good project. good luck with it.
[15:36] <sandeep_p> archman, i don't use alsa...
[15:36] <wathek> I need to get qt 4.5 rc1 which is in the jaunty repos is it possible to add the jaunty repos to my kubuntu intrepid to update qt ?
[15:37] <philipp> k3b is unable tu born
[15:37] <philipp> *burn
[15:37] <JediMaster|away> scunizi: thanks, I know it's not directly ubuntu related, other than the fact the linux boxes on either end are running it =)
[15:37] <quibbler> wathek: not advised
[15:37] <sandeep_p> philipp, did imgburn solve your prob ???
[15:37] <JediMaster|away> bbl
[15:37] <archman> sandeep_p, oh...
[15:37] <philipp> sandeep_p there is no programm like that
[15:37] <exodus_ms> gldtn, don't know if you still need help but it should look something like this --> http://imagebin.ca/view/GHuLRphZ.html
[15:38] <smacfarl> when I install ubuntu 8.10 I get a out of range resolution error on my monitor. What do I do during the install to force a correct resolution to my lcd monitor?
[15:38] <SiDi> wathek: i don't think you can, but you should browse launchpad and look for a QT PPA
[15:38] <erUSUL> Jampiter: well i see the floppy module in the intrepid kernels (i can not test it because i do not have a floppy drive)
[15:38] <wathek> SiDi, ok
[15:38] <smacfarl> Found this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Resolution but I am not sure how to use this info in relation to the livecd
[15:38] <gymrat2k> Jampiter: "To get the floppy to load when you boot add the line "floppy" to the file /etc/modules." http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=977010
[15:39] <fargiolas_> hi I need some quick help for a friend pc I'm trying to boot. It somewhat has a corrupted mbr that prevents him to run windows. I tried several live cds telling them to boot from the first disk but it doesn't work. I tried to boot with grub from floppy and nothing. The only way to boot windows correctly is to run Ubuntu Intrpid live cd and select Boot from first disk. It boots windows flawlessly. So does anybody kno
[15:39] <fargiolas_> w which command does it run? is it possibile to reproduce it from grub?
[15:39] <Jampiter> gymrat2k: Thank you :)
[15:40] <philipp> hello?????
[15:40] <philipp> anyone there?
[15:40] <Titan8990> fargiolas_, I would put the harddrive in another machine, and fix the MBR using a windows disc
[15:40] <erUSUL> fargiolas_: boot with windows install disk go to recovery console run fixmbr
[15:40] <gldtn> exodus_ms, may I send you a screenshot.. I don't have the options you're talking about
[15:40] <quibbler> !grub
[15:40] <erUSUL> fargiolas_: more details in ##windows
[15:40] <fargiolas_> erUSUL, no restorecd
[15:40] <Titan8990> fargiolas_, contact microsoft
[15:40] <exodus_ms> gladideg, http://imagebin.ca/
[15:40] <Titan8990> fargiolas_, the vendor, and good luck hehe
[15:41] <erUSUL> fargiolas_: well i'm afraid problems with windows are offtopic here
[15:41] <gldtn> exodus_ms, cool didn't know they had a pastebin for images ;)
[15:41] <quibbler> !ask | philipp
[15:41] <smacfarl> any takers on my 8.10 install question?
[15:41] <fargiolas_> Tidus_, erUSUL I don't need a solution for a windows problem
[15:41] <Titan8990> fargiolas_, actually, ultimate boot cd should do it, but yes this is OT
[15:41] <fargiolas_> I need to know *exactly* *what* boot from the first cd in ubuntu live cd does
[15:41] <scunizi> erUSUL: lol.. I think it's great that we're now fixing windows mbr's with grub.. maybe we can insert a line in the menu saying "for a complete computing experience, use Ubuntu" or some such :)
[15:42] <Jeruvy> fargiolas: it uses a grub boot record and selects the first disk it finds with a valid partition
[15:42] <erUSUL> fargiolas_: it is windows who's refusing to boot; isn't it?
[15:42] <bazhang> fargiolas_, is ubuntu installed?
[15:42] <erUSUL> fargiolas_: becouse you are not asking how to restore/fix grub
[15:42] <philipp> i already have sayed it several times... no burning utillity is able to burn
[15:42] <Jeruvy> scunizi: I have been advocating this for at least a year now :)
[15:42] <fargiolas_> bazhang, erUSUL; I'm asking if you know what that ubuntu function does
[15:43] <scunizi> Jeruvy: I like it! ;-)
[15:43] <philipp> i already have sayed it several times... no burning utillity is able to burn
[15:43] <gldtn> exodus_ms, http://imagebin.ca/view/B2xnjlWh.html
[15:43] <bazhang> fargiolas_, ubuntu support here for ubuntu installations; do you have ubuntu on that machine or is this about windows booting from that computer
[15:43] <quibbler> !burn
[15:43] <erUSUL> fargiolas_: it uses grub (i think) to boot whatever is in the bootable partition on the first disk
[15:44] <erUSUL> fargiolas_: you may want to try super grub disk
[15:44] <fargiolas_> erUSUL, apparently it doesn't use grub because grub from floppy doesn boot
[15:44] <perlmonkey> hmmm
[15:44] <philipp> i already have sayed it several times... no burning utillity is able to burn
[15:44] <philipp> i already have sayed it several times... no burning utillity is able to burn

[15:44] <perlmonkey> I've just done an apt update and upgrade, and installed mythtv-backend and my system is showing unmet dependencies :-/
[15:44] <philipp> but noone sees to notice my problem
[15:44] <Jeruvy> fargiolas_: Grub is a boot manager.  So your statement would be false
[15:45] <erUSUL> !doesntwork | philipp
[15:45] <perlmonkey> why is it so easy to break your system in Debian/Ubuntu with a package upgrade?
[15:45] <gldtn> exodus_ms, see what I mean
[15:45] <SiDi> philipp: did you try with brasero ? and btw, saying what error message you get helps people to help you
[15:45] <Jeruvy> perlmonkey: the same way its easy to fix by removing said package
[15:45] <scunizi> perlmonkey: have you tried apt-get dist-upgrade?
[15:45] <fargiolas_> Jeruvy, ubuntu live cd does something different than just booting from the first sector in the first disk
[15:45] <perlmonkey> The following packages have unmet dependencies.  mythtv-backend: Depends: mythtv-common (= 0.21.0+fixes16838-0ubuntu3.1) but 0.21.0+fixes18207-0ubuntu4~hardy1 is to be installed  Depends: mythtv-transcode-utils (= 0.21.0+fixes16838-0ubuntu3.1) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages
[15:45] <perlmonkey> phew
[15:45] <perlmonkey> I will try
[15:45] <ActionParsnip1> philipp: try multiple burning apps, burn as slow as you can if you intend to boot from the cd
[15:46] <exodus_ms> gldtn, ya
[15:46] <SiDi> philipp: also, check your burning drive is correctly mounted, and check that you can read CDs on it (since burners are obviously also able to read, if it doesnt read its a drive / driver problem, not an app problem)
[15:46] <philipp> sidi yes brasero, k2b burn and a view other
[15:46] <qcjn> hi, i can't put xchat in the keayboard shortcuts, can only assigned a shortcut in whats already there
[15:46] <Jeruvy> fargiolas_: do you have a pointer to some facts?  I'd be interested in comparing notes.
[15:46] <archman> sandeep_p, do you know where is .asoundrc file located?
[15:46] <gldtn> exodus_ms, what version of ubuntu you on?
[15:46] <exodus_ms> gldtn, 8.10
[15:46] <SiDi> philipp: is your drive actually mounted ? when you put a CD with data inside it, does the CD popup in the drives list in nautilus ?
[15:46] <perlmonkey> jeruvy: the package in question WONT install but i need it installed. I have no idea why, how can I "undo" the upgrade I did
[15:47] <saurabh> how to uninstaLL AN APPLication in wine
[15:47] <gldtn> exodus_ms, same here.. how come I dont have those preferences?
[15:47] <kriscolt> i'll bet philipp doesn't realize he's using a cd rom... not a cdr
[15:47] <perlmonkey> scunizi: do you recommend that in this situation?
[15:47] <erUSUL> fargiolas_: it seems to use syslinux not grub on the livecd
[15:47] <fargiolas_> Jeruvy, I booted the first partition with rootnoverify (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 boot and it hangs with a black screen
[15:47] <exodus_ms> gldtn, don't know, I'm reading something right now, might be what we are looking for
[15:47] <philipp> sidi mom ill try
[15:47] <fargiolas_> Jeruvy, ubuntu live cd instead boots it correctly
[15:47] <smacfarl> 8.10 livecd install problem. Monitor out of range error when loading X. How do I change the way the install works to force the right resolution
[15:48] <gldtn> exodus_ms, thanks
[15:48] <Titan8990> smacfarl, use the alternate installer, configure xorg.conf manually before first boot
[15:48] <scunizi> perlmonkey: it won't "upgrade" to the next release.. it occationally pulls packages that need upgrading.. I always sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[15:48] <quibbler> saurabh: under apps-wine-uninstall wine software
[15:48] <ActionParsnip1> smacfarl: did you md5 check your iso and check the cd once it was burned?
[15:48] <philipp> sidi yes... it pops up even the cd is empty
[15:49] <simplex> I cant play flash games. Can anyone help?
[15:49] <saurabh> it doesnot work
[15:49] <smacfarl> titan8990: link to instructions or info about the alternate installer.
[15:49] <perlmonkey> scunizi: ok thanks for explaining fingers crossed that should be it
[15:49] <ActionParsnip1> !flash | simplex
[15:49] <exodus_ms> gldtn, are you using visual effects?
[15:49] <Titan8990> !alternate | smacfarl
[15:49] <archman> saurabh: simply erase the folder ;)
[15:49] <gldtn> exodus_ms, yes compiz fusion emerald
[15:49] <smacfarl> actionparsnipl: I have noticed this problem since 8.04 with my monitor and graphics card. It's pretty common.
[15:49] <saurabh> even if i uninstall wine i still get that option in my appl
[15:49] <Jeruvy> fargiolas_: so your mbr is pooched, fix it :)
[15:50] <ActionParsnip1> smacfarl: checking md5 hashes is critical for OS installs
[15:50] <saurabh> i have erased .wine folder in my home folder but
[15:50] <ActionParsnip1> smacfarl: you could also try some bootoptions
[15:50] <saurabh> wine is still there
[15:50] <philipp> sidi yes... it pops up even the cd is empty
[15:50] <saurabh> under application
[15:50] <shavin> I tried on #openoffice but din get any joy. i just installed an extension http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/simpletemplateone But cannot find the template anywhere. any ideas?
[15:50] <SiDi> philipp: well i don't know then. i never use burning apps so i don't know what to do after that, if noone answers here you should have a look at the forums though
[15:50] <archman> saurabh: wait, do you want to erase wine or erase some app under wine?
[15:50] <ActionParsnip1> !bootoptions
[15:50] <smacfarl> Actionparsnipl:boot options?
[15:50] <exodus_ms> gldtn, ok, looks like a compiz problem. The workaround would be to turn off Compiz, change the workspace names and then turn Compiz on again (through System -> Preferences -> Appearance). The changes should "stick".
[15:50] <saurabh> wine
[15:50] <saurabh> complete wine
[15:51] <quibbler> saurabh: do you want to uninstall wine itself?
[15:51] <saurabh> yes
[15:51] <saurabh> uninstall wine
[15:51] <saurabh> itself
[15:51] <archman> saurabh: and when you click the wine in the menu, does it opens wine?
[15:51] <ActionParsnip1> saurabh: are you using wine from ubuntu repos or the wine repos?
[15:51] <saurabh> ya
[15:51] <archman> saurabh: did you erase wine?
[15:51] <archman> saurabh: in synaptic?
[15:51] <wers> something must be wrong with my fstab. i cant mount any optical media
[15:51] <philipp> sidi it seems like he notice that i have injected a cd but i cant acces on it
[15:52] <saurabh> i had three aplicationm all gets listed then when i click on one of them it says starting the app but then in few mnin it disappers
[15:52] <wers> can i just delete my /etc/fstab/ will it come back properly configured?
[15:52] <philipp> i cant get any things from a cd
[15:52] <ActionParsnip1> saurabh: add the wine repo and install wine from there, i find it a more stable version
[15:52] <lasivian> firefox keeps crashing on me for no reason, where would I find info that might explain why?
[15:52] <saurabh> wats wine repo
[15:52] <saurabh> ????????
[15:52] <scunizi> wers: no..
[15:52] <gldtn> exodus_ms, doesn't stick :/
[15:52] <SiDi> philipp: then maybe its a problem with the rights with which the CD is mounted
[15:52] <ActionParsnip1> philipp: when you insert a cd, wait a little bit then run   dmesg | tail
[15:52] <saurabh> wats wine repo?????????
[15:52] <ActionParsnip1> philipp: see whats going on
[15:53] <wers> scunizi, i'm on my administrator account. any idea why i dont have permissions?
[15:53] <exodus_ms> gldtn, so, got to system>preferences>appearance>none   then  right click on your workspace on the panel and choose preferences>change workspace names and check the box 'show workspace names in switcher. See if it works, if it does, then enable your visual effects by going to system>preferences>apearance
[15:53] <archman> saurabh, it's some place from where you take apps LOL
[15:53] <SiDi> philipp: possibly your system thinks its a normal CD drive and mounts it only with reading rights, instead of read/write rights
[15:53] <saurabh> how to add wine repo
[15:53] <g00se> Despite searching for some time, i can't find a repository for OpenOffice 3 on Intrepid. Is there one?
[15:53] <ActionParsnip1> saurabh: if you put my name at the start of the line, i will know you are addressing me
[15:53] <scunizi> wers: I missed something.. don't have permissions to do what?
[15:53] <archman> !repositories |  saurabh
[15:53] <Jeruvy> lasivian: try by disabling all your plugins to see if they are the problem.
[15:53] <SiDi> philipp: you should check your /etc/fstab file, there should be a line for your CD burning drive, and on this line, there should be a "ro" amongst the options
[15:53] <ActionParsnip1> saurabh: see how i write your name at the start of every line, thats not an accident
[15:53] <kneeki> When I attempt to format a new 250gig drive as ext3, i am unable to create folders on the newly formatted drive. All that is there is 'Lost + Found'. Any ideas?
[15:53] <ActionParsnip1> saurabh: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb
[15:53] <philipp> sidi i am also unable to reed dadas FROM the cd
[15:53] <SiDi> philipp: if you remove it, and then type "sudo mount -a" in a terminal, it should work
[15:53] <wers> scunizi, mount: only root can mount /dev/loop0 on /media/cdrom0
[15:53] <erUSUL> g00se: i think there is a ppa for it
[15:54] <ActionParsnip1> saurabh: you can tab complete them too so its easier
[15:54] <Jeruvy> g00se: no, 2.4.1 I think is the current
[15:54] <erUSUL> wers: use sudo
[15:54] <Julius_Cesar> well i tried to upgrade transmission with this "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/transmissionbt/ubuntu intrepid main"  but it siad the public key is not available
[15:54] <philipp> sidi i am also unable to reed dadas FROM the cd
[15:54] <g00se> erUSL: Tried it. Seems empty
[15:54] <erUSUL> !ppagpg
[15:54] <scunizi> wers: if you're doing it right you still have to use sudo at the beginning of the commmand
[15:54] <ActionParsnip1> wers: press up cursor, press home and type sudo
[15:54] <SiDi> philipp: then its likely your system doesnt recognise the burner... i don't know what to do about that
[15:54] <archman> saurabh, you still here? need help?
[15:54] <wers> erUSUL, scunizi, ActionParsnip1 http://paste.ubuntu.com/124304/
[15:55] <saurabh> let pls wait
[15:55] <lasivian> Jeruvy: thanks for the idea, I was figuring maybe there was a log file I couldn;t find :)
[15:55] <erUSUL> wers: what are you trying to mount?
[15:55] <philipp> sidi i guess some programm blocks the cdrom so the burning utillitis cant use it
[15:55] <g00se> Jeruvy: I'm hoping there's one somewhere. Backports? Apparently not..
[15:55] <doolph> hello
[15:55] <archman> saurabh, you can address a person who you're talking to...
[15:55] <fly_> ciao
[15:55] <g00se>  erUSUL: Tried it. Seems empty
[15:55] <doolph> I am willing to play $10 to somebody that can help me to extend a HD using LVM
[15:55] <erUSUL> g00se: then i dunno
[15:55] <Julius_Cesar> any help ??
[15:55] <g00se> OK
[15:55] <philipp> sidi never mind... i think the cd rom is broken
[15:55] <wers> erUSUL, scunizi, ActionParsnip1, that's what happened when i ran as root
[15:55] <Jeruvy> g00se: I'll drink to hope!
[15:56] <alienkid> hi I followed this: http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2007/12/09/xubuntu-compiz-pretty-pretty-xubuntu/ guide and didn't install emerald so I put xfwm4 in the decorator command and now when I start compiz the screen goes white.
[15:56] <SiDi> philipp: if you cant read / write when you put a CD in the drive, either the drive is not recognised or it is badly mounted. but i can barely help you on that, i don't know much about these subjects
[15:56] <lasivian> nope, just crashed again in the background.. hrrm
[15:56] <fly_> !it
[15:56] <ActionParsnip1> wers: what mount command are you using?
[15:56] <scunizi> wers: erUSUL asked what you were trying to mount
[15:56] <erUSUL> wers: yep; i see. again what type of image are you trying to mount? iso ?
[15:56] <wers> ActionParsnip1, sudo mount /media/cdrom0
[15:56] <g00se> Jeruvy: I thought *some* Intrepid user might have done it ;-)
[15:56] <ActionParsnip1> wers: thats incorrect
[15:57] <ActionParsnip1> wers: what are you mounting? a cd? an iso?
[15:57] <Jeruvy> g00se: you can "manually" install it, but there is no "official package" yet afaik.
[15:57] <wers> ActionParsnip1, cd
[15:57] <kriscolt> !synergy
[15:57] <ActionParsnip1> wers: sudo mount /dev/sdc0 /media/cdrom0
[15:57] <Titan8990> wers, that will only work if you have /media/cdrom0 defined in /etc/fstab
[15:57] <DarkKnight> hey whenever i hibernate my system and then come back from hibernation i get a error message saying that there was an error in hibernation...cn anyone help me out
[15:57] <wers> ActionParsnip1, mount: special device /dev/sdc0 does not exist
[15:57] <Titan8990> wers, need to use action's command
[15:58] <archman> saurabh, uninstalled it?
[15:58] <ActionParsnip1> wers: mount synatx is: mount <thing to mount> <mount point> (optional -t <type> -o <options>)
[15:58] <scunizi> DarkKnight: make sure your swap is 1.5x your ram for hibernation
[15:58] <wers> oh yah. wait
[15:58] <wolter> what does the %M parameter stand for?
[15:58] <g00se> Jeruvy: Yes, but reluctant to do that. Are there binaries? - i certainly don't want to compile it
[15:58] <ActionParsnip1> wers: what is the output of: file /dev/cdrom
[15:58] <saurabh> archman:just a min i m doing it
[15:58] <MeI> hello, i have a problem with a dependency cycle
[15:59] <wers> ActionParsnip1, /dev/cdrom: symbolic link to `scd0'
[15:59] <MeI> E: Couldn't configure pre-depend libc6 for findutils, probably a dependency cycle.
[15:59] <archman> saurabh, do you want to install it back then?
[15:59] <saurabh> archman:yes
[15:59] <ActionParsnip1> wers: oops i said dc in my command
[15:59] <archman> saurabh, ok, tell when you're ready
[15:59] <libertarian4life> how do i tell if i have Metacity, or Compiz, or GTK??  I have the compiz fusion as in the cube.....
[15:59] <ActionParsnip1> sudo mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0
[15:59] <wers> ActionParsnip1, thank you very much! it's just that, i have to run this code everytime now. before, cds mounted automatically
[15:59] <erUSUL> libertarian4life: then you use compiz and not metacity

[16:00] <glandon> had anyone had an issue with vlc playing dvds? i have it set as the default program but vlc comes up and just sits there

[16:00] <libertarian4life> what about GTK?
[16:00] <scunizi> ActionParsnip1: probably a typo.. scd0=sdc0

[16:04] <libertarian4life> okay, well what packages would i need installed to have it installed correctly? Im trying to add themes and it says "error ---- GTK"
[16:04] <MeI> nickrud, i posted it . thanks
[16:04] <saurabh> actually i had installed wine through apt-get command
[16:04] <panesar_sandeep_> philipp, u can also find this "jcdwriter" on sourceforge.net
[16:04] <saurabh> then installed flash get and rediff bol in it
[16:04] <panesar_sandeep_> ok ,bye folks
[16:04] <archman> saurabh, which version? (address me...)
[16:04] <Jeruvy> del: if its a problem then sure.  You'll have to configure manually but..
[16:04] <del> have lost the onboard NIC and am using a new one that I installed, eth1
[16:04] <Titan8990> Jampiter, know as ip masquerading, its a very advanced networking topic
[16:04] <perlmonkey> scunzini: did the dist-upgrade, still getting unmet dependencies error
[16:04] <del> Jeruvy: This compouter will only need static ip.
[16:04] <Jampiter> Titan8990: Oh, ok
[16:04] <hmw2> I cd ..
[16:04] <saurabh> archman:now i m installing wine through repository
[16:05] <DarkKnight> scunizi; my swap is 3GB and RAM is 1GB
[16:05] <archman> saurabh, which repository??
[16:05] <nickrud> MeI, how is it that apt is a new package on this installation? did you try upgrading, or using some obscure installation method?
[16:05] <hmw2> I cd / and still see a .. directory? http://paste.ubuntu.com/124312/
[16:05] <saurabh> archman:somone among u people said its more stable
[16:05] <del> Jeruvy: eth0 has lost it's ability to communicate
[16:05] <archman> saurabh, wine rep on ubuntu rep?
[16:05] <del> Need to make sure it does not try to use eth0 any more.
[16:05] <Jeruvy> del: should be fine.  hmm, that could be a bad nic card?
[16:05] <saurabh> archman:http://www.winehq.org/download/deb
[16:06] <del> Jeruvy: Yes it is, a bad NIC. But it is onboard.
[16:06] <saurabh> <archman:all thats mentioned here
[16:06] <MeI> nickrud, i been working like this for a while, however, my last kernel update had some problems, so i am using a pre kernel version, it saying i have to filter the broken packages.
[16:06] <Jeruvy> del: test it static and make sure ARP is working properly for the device.
[16:06] <archman> saurabh, ok, works ;)
[16:06] <del> Jeruvy: Cant get rid of it.
[16:06] <Titan8990> hmw2, what is the problem?
[16:06] <saurabh> <archman:let me see
[16:06] <archman> saurabh, done that already?
[16:06] <saurabh> it will take 15 min
[16:06] <archman> saurabh, what, to download??
[16:06] <del> Jeruvy: I have already replaced it.
[16:06] <Jeruvy> del: its easy enough to add another nic ;)
[16:06] <perlmonkey> well my system appears to be well and truly busted and all i've done is a apt upgrade and dist-upgrade
[16:06] <saurabh> <archman:its donloading
[16:06] <del> Jeruvy: I already have replaced it.
[16:06] <glandon> DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT GETTING DVDS TO PLAY IN VLC
[16:07] <Jeruvy> del: ah ok.
[16:07] <archman> saurabh, through synaptic?
[16:07] <bazhang> glandon, caps
[16:07] <perlmonkey> im tired of this problem, seems to keep happening with debian/ubuntu if you dont upgrade regularly
[16:07] <saurabh> ya

[16:07] <del> !dvd
[16:07] <archman> saurabh, ok then, i'm out

[16:07] <saurabh> <archman:no through software sources
[16:07] <saurabh> <archman:why
[16:07] <perlmonkey> i repeat, why is it SO EASY to break your system in Debian/Ubuntu by just not upgrading often and then doing an apt upgrade? surely this should be sorted out
[16:07] <hmw2> Titan - I just don't understand. I issued cd / and saw a different listing, than I saw, when I additionally issued cd ..   - the .. dir was gone
[16:08] <archman> saurabh, ...are you following the guide? I can hardly follow you, man..
[16:08] <MeI> nickrud, i went to filter broken package.  then i try to apply changes this is what it says :E: Couldn't configure pre-depend libc6 for findutils, probably a dependency cycle.
[16:08] <bazhang> perlmonkey, lets see your sources.list
[16:08] <nerve> hello ppl..
[16:08] <nickrud> MeI, put up a copy of /etc/apt/sources.list , the results of lsb_release -a

[16:08] <saurabh> <archman:can u wait for 4 min i will come back after installing it if i have a probv
[16:08] <bazhang> perlmonkey, sounds like you have something odd there

[16:08] <nerve> i am new to Ubuntu

[16:10] <nerve> since i will be startin wid perl for the first time.
[16:10] <Titan8990> hmw2, I saw that, would you mind telling me which directory so I don't have to compare each one?
[16:10] <Titan8990> hmw2, kk
[16:10] <nerve> ne help guys
[16:10] <MeI> nickrud, /124315/
[16:10] <ikonia> nerve: what is the problem
[16:10] <nerve> i mean i badly need to complete thisproject
[16:11] <ikonia> nerve: what is the problem
[16:11] <simplex> One of my file browser windows has become unresponsive. How do I close it?
[16:11] <Jeruvy> nerve: type 'gedit'....
[16:11] <nerve> i ve a perl project to be submitted
[16:11] <nerve> and i needed a ide
[16:11] <nerve> for perl
[16:11] <bazhang> perlmonkey, where did you install mythtv from, that sources.list seems a bit truncated
[16:11] <Titan8990> simplex, ps aux | grep 'nautilus'
[16:11] <MeI> nickrud, lol sorry, http://paste.ubuntu.com/124315/
[16:11] <nerve> but i cant get ne.
[16:11] <nickrud> MeI, like http://paste.ubuntu.com/124314/ . But I've seen that one. I also need   /etc/apt/sources.list , and the output of  aptitude search ~b
[16:11] <Titan8990> simplex, then:  sudo kill PIDOFNAUTALIS
[16:11] <nerve> so i decided to stick to editors
[16:11] <Jeruvy> !enter | nerve
[16:11] <ikonia> nerve: I'm not aware of perl ide's  - I'd look in #perl for advice
[16:12] <Jeruvy> nerve: go to activestates web site for an ide.
[16:12] <perlmonkey> bazhang: i just did an apt-get install mythtv-backend, after doing apt-get update, upgrade, and dist-upgrade
[16:12] <Titan8990> nerve, usually only compiled languages have IDE becuase they are not needed for scripting languages
[16:12] <bazhang> perlmonkey, no other repos? that seems to be a truncated sources.list
[16:13] <DarkKnight> hey whenever i hibernate my system and then come back from hibernation i get a error message saying that there was an error in hibernation...cn anyone help me out
[16:13] <Chaorain> Is there a way to install parts of another ubuntu install? i.e. get part of Ubuntu UE on a vanilla Ubuntu (wubi install inside vista)
[16:13] <nerve> i tried Eclipse with a perl plugin but i cant seem to get it working
[16:13] <ActionParsnip1> DarkKnight: run dmesg | tail
[16:13] <ikonia> Chaorain: ubuntu UE is not an ubuntu product
[16:13] <smacfarl> can i add an xrandr command to the livecd boot options?
[16:13] <ActionParsnip1> DarkKnight: when you unhibernate
[16:13] <ikonia> Chaorain: it is also not supported here
[16:13] <perlmonkey> bazhang: nothing, i dunno what happened to my sources.list
[16:13] <nerve> so the final verdit on a good editor for programming would be
[16:13] <Titan8990> nerve, just use gedit, vim, or emacs
[16:13] <Titan8990> nerve, or jedit
[16:13] <ActionParsnip1> or xedit
[16:13] <simplex> titan8990: that didnt help
[16:14] <Chaorain> ikonia, is that a no or a we don't care?
[16:14] <ikonia> nerve: what ever text editor you are comfortable with
[16:14] <Titan8990> simplex, sorry?
[16:14] <bazhang> perlmonkey, did you have to force install anything or get other errors associated with myth install?
[16:14] <nerve> ok thank you titan and action ,ikonia
[16:14] <simplex> its tempting to press ctrl alt del
[16:14] <nerve> cheers guys
[16:14] <ikonia> Chaorain: 1.) ubuntu UE is nothing to do with ubuntu 2.) ubuntu UE doesn't have anything ubuntu does 3.) ubuntu UE is not supported here
[16:14] <DarkKnight> ActionParsnip1; http://paste.ubuntu.com/124316/
[16:14] <Titan8990> simplex, if anything, ctrl+alt+backspace
[16:14] <perlmonkey> bazhang: i first installed xmltv, that went smoothly.. I didn't install or force install anything before that
[16:14] <Titan8990> simplex, did nautilus not show up in ps aux?
[16:15] <simplex> Titan8990: that make it restart doesnt it?
[16:15] <scunizi> nerve: check out http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-31434.html
[16:15] <PrimoTurbo> I want to recompile the kernel with a custom configuration, I am looking for a website that outlines each option in detail. I can't find one, has anyone come across such a site? Thanks.
[16:15] <simplex> titan8990: let me try again
[16:15] <nickrud> MeI, still there?
[16:15] <Titan8990> simplex, only restarts x server, not the whole machine
[16:15] <Titan8990> simplex, I may be spelling nautilus wrong
[16:15] <Titan8990> !nautilus
[16:15] <ikonia> PrimoTurbo: why do you want to recompile the kernel - what option do you want ?
[16:15] <bullgard4> http://freshmeat.net/projects/evolution-data-server/ "The Evolution Data Server provides a single database for common, desktop-wide information, such as a user's address book or calendar events." Where can I find listed what other data is in this database?
[16:16] <Chaorain> ikonia. are we talking about the same Ubuntu UE? http://ultimateedition.info/
[16:16] <bazhang> perlmonkey, which version of mythtv? were you mixing repos or something along those lines?
[16:16] <ikonia> bullgard4: that is not an ubuntu issue
[16:16] <smacfarl> titan8990: can i add an randr command to the livecd custom boot command line?
[16:16] <ikonia> Chaorain: correct NOTHING to do with ubuntu
[16:16] <bazhang> Chaorain, its not supported
[16:16] <bazhang> Chaorain, please stop
[16:16] <del> I need to make sure that eth0 and eth1 do not switch NIC's. My question is, what file do I edit?  In looking around, I see that /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules looks to be the file to edit. Am I correct?
[16:16] <PrimoTurbo> I just want to recompile the kernel to speed up my system (whatever the insignificant increase is) I need an outline of all the option and infomation about them I know gconfig provides that but I want more detail about each option and how it's used.
[16:17] <Titan8990> smacfarl, not sure, I always use the alternate installer
[16:17] <nickrud> PrimoTurbo, in the docs section of the kernel source
[16:17] <Titan8990> smacfarl, which is why I recommended it, its yet to fail on me
[16:17] <perlmonkey> bazhang: phew I'm not sure, I had mythtv installed on this machine ages ago but I thought I had removed it, it's not on my Xfce Menu anyway
[16:17] <awell> I have ebox setup on my ubuntu server. Where is a good guide to help me understand it?
[16:17] <ikonia> PrimoTurbo: thats nothing to do with ubuntu either 1.) recompiling your kernel won't make your system any faster 2.) it will cause problems if you don't know what the options are 3.) it will break your package manager of any packages related to the kernel 4.) it will not be supported here
[16:17] <smacfarl> actionparsnip:can i add an xrandr command as a boot option on the live cd?
[16:17] <ikonia> awell: the ubuntu introduction on "http://start.ubuntu.com"
[16:18] <ActionParsnip1> DarkKnight: is that pastebin after you wake up?
[16:18] <bazhang> perlmonkey, you are using hardy currently correct?
[16:18] <scunizi> perlmonkey: you might have a ~/.<something> config file/directory hiding.
[16:18] <Titan8990> smacfarl, I don't think xrandr is a kernel boot option...
[16:18] <Titan8990> smacfarl, if it was, then yet
[16:18] <DarkKnight> ActionParsnip1; yes
[16:18] <ikonia> awell: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/index.html
[16:18] <perlmonkey> bazhang: I think I was using 7.04 feisty before I did dist-upgrade
[16:18] <bazhang> sources.list.d?
[16:19] <perlmonkey> ok I will check
[16:19] <Titan8990> smacfarl, but I guess you could try booting then switching to a tty and trying
[16:19] <PrimoTurbo> ikonia: I am not worried about any of that, I am simply asking for a list of all the options. An yes recompiling the kernel can have some increase in speed if done properly.
[16:19] <ikonia> PrimoTurbo: then you should know what your doing
[16:19] <picca> wow managed to get ubuntu 8.10 to work with my freevents x55 - this is a great day
[16:19] <ikonia> PrimoTurbo: providing kernel option support is not part of ubuntu's support
[16:19] <bazhang> perlmonkey, did you upgrade feisty correctly before upgrading version, and how long ago was this
[16:19] <perlmonkey> phew I got like sources.list.d  sources.list.distUpgrade  sources.list.save
[16:19] <ActionParsnip1> DarkKnight: i'd read all of dmesg but start at the bottom mand read back
[16:19] <del> Looks like /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules already has lines that will keep the eth0 and eth1 with the same NICs so... maybe there is no need to change or edit anything.  RIght?
[16:20] <del> I guess that used to be a problem, but not any more... ?
[16:20] <PrimoTurbo> ikonia: I know what I am doing but I need more options, simply asking if anyone knows a site that lists them all. Offically ubuntu support doesn't support a lot of things but people still ask?..
[16:20] <perlmonkey> bazhang: feisty was done properly I think and running fine until now.. I did apt update, upgrade, then dist-upgrade today
[16:20] <awell> How do I add services or modules to ebox?
[16:20] <ikonia> PrimoTurbo: nothing to do with this channel, and if you know what you'll doing you know how to use the "info" or "help" option for each option
[16:20] <bazhang> perlmonkey, did you switch to the correct eol archive for feisty upgrade?
[16:21] <PrimoTurbo> sigh...
[16:21] <perlmonkey> bazhang: not sure what that means, if you mean did I edit sources.list no
[16:21] <zilleplus> annyone knows a site where there is an explication how to post a site on an ububtu server (php site)
[16:21] <zilleplus> annyone knows a site where there is an explication how to post a site on an ububtu server
[16:21] <avis> is the acpi-support service entirely for laptops ?
[16:21] <bazhang> perlmonkey, to the old-releases.ubuntu ones?
[16:21] <ikonia> zilleplus: do you mean how to host a website ?
[16:21] <shadeslayer> hi i want in stall various boot splash images
[16:22] <shadeslayer> how do i do that??
[16:22] <perlmonkey> bazhang: never touched sources.list
[16:22] <shadeslayer> i have splashy
[16:22] <zilleplus> ikonia yes to host a site ig ot server up and running and apache to running
[16:22] <bazhang> perlmonkey, how long ago was the feisty to gutsy to hardy upgrade
[16:22] <ikonia> zilleplus: just put the data in /var/www/htm l
[16:22] <zilleplus> how do i get a site on it
[16:22] <ikonia> zilleplus: or check the docs on https://help.ubuntu.com
[16:23] <perlmonkey> bazhang: phew I can't remember exactly, quite a while ago a year maybe
[16:23] <ruhaan_> is there a multi threaded ftp downloader for ubuntu?
[16:23] <bazhang> perlmonkey, you didnt go direct from feisty to hardy by switching sources.list by chance?
[16:23] <ruhaan_> i need somethin that will create the directories lcoally to
[16:24] <ruhaan_> *locally
[16:24] <bazhang> perlmonkey, I think the feisty incomplete update has likely left things in this state
[16:25] <jtaby> hey, how can I see if smtp is running and the config I need to use it?
[16:25] <ruhaan_>  is there a multi threaded ftp downloader for ubuntu?
[16:25] <ruhaan_> i need somethin that will create the directories locally to
[16:26] <gerber> how can i lock one  web site on the internet no block it lock it ?
[16:26] <scunizi> ruhaan_: gFTP ?
[16:26] <perlmonkey> bazhang: am I going to have to reinstall and start from scratch?
[16:26] <scunizi> gerber: how do you mean? not block but lock?
[16:26] <ruhaan_> scunizi: does gftp support multiple threads per download?
[16:26] <MeI1> nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu.com/124317/
[16:26] <MeI1> i was disconnected :(
[16:26] <perlmonkey> because if I am this will be the time change dist I think because this keeps happening to me
[16:26] <perlmonkey> its too easy to break Ubuntu
[16:27] <eubey> my laptop (ubuntu 8.10) is taking a long time when booting at "Starting up..." (like 10 seconds or so) is there a known way to fix that?
[16:27] <scunizi> ruhaan_: not really sure.. it's a nice client if that doesn't work there's also filezilla ..
[16:27] <gerber> I just want to lock  web site that i'm the only one to see it
[16:27] <ruhaan_> i have checked filezilla it doesnt support multiple threads
[16:27] <ikonia> gerber: then you need to use a proxy service like squid
[16:27] <ActionParsnip1> eubey: do a reboot then read   dmesg | less
[16:27] <ikonia> gerber: or use iptables to set an allow rule so only your IP address is allowed to that site
[16:27] <ActionParsnip1> eubey: you will see the bootup process
[16:28] <bazhang> perlmonkey, no idea, as that sources.list and what you are saying about the feisty upgrade seem incomplete
[16:28] <perlmonkey> bazhang: I appreciate your trying to help me anyway, I don't know what happened, but i guess now its time to change a new distro that's not so easy to break
[16:28] <nickrud> MeI, you have a lot of duplicates in there, along with proposed (eww, unless you're a debugger). You should straighten that out. Also --
[16:29] <maDChoPR> what's the recommended vncviewer to install on ubuntu?
[16:29] <gerber> what is squid or iptables ?
[16:29] <maDChoPR> squid is a proxy ap, and iptables is firewall or ip routing
[16:29] <scunizi> maDChoPR: it's already installed.. look in Applications/Internet
[16:29] <maDChoPR> *app
[16:29] <Jeruvy> maDChoPR: vncviewer :)
[16:29] <ikonia> gerber: they are applications. one is a proxy, the other is a firewall/routing application
[16:29] <maDChoPR> ah thank you scunizi
[16:29] <nickrud> MeI, did a bit of digging, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptitude/+bug/124895/comments/8 seems to lead to a solution. Exact package names may not be correct.
[16:29] <maDChoPR> Jeruvy: yea, i type 'vncviewer' and it says install these vnc apps with apt-get install.. etc.
[16:29] <gerber> where can i get it ?
[16:30] <ikonia> gerber: ubuntu software repos through the package manager
[16:30] <eubey> ActionParsnip1: so i reboot then in terminal once gnome is booted run dmesg | less? or do i need dmesg less running during the boot?
[16:30] <scunizi> maDChoPR: terminal server client and remote desktop viewer.. both in the location I mentioned before
[16:30] <Jeruvy> maDChoPR: ah, so you know already then excellent.
[16:30] <nickrud> MeI, a quick way to create a good default sources.list is to move the original out of the way, and then use system->admin->software sources to turn on the repos you want
[16:30] <gerber> so just type repos
[16:30] <ActionParsnip1> eubey: one you get logged in, run: dmesg | less
[16:31] <ActionParsnip1> eubey: and use cursors to read up and down the log
[16:31] <gerber> I,m sorry buy i,m new on ubuntu
[16:31] <ActionParsnip1> eubey: its gonna be a lot but you can see yur pc being setup
[16:31] <picca> how do you make ubnutu always start with cpu scaling at 100% - e.g. performance mode
[16:31] <ikonia> !synaptic > gerber
[16:31] <thebloggu> can someone tall me how can i build a gnome icon theme ?
[16:31] <gerber> thank you
[16:32] <maDChoPR> scunizi: remote desktop viewer?  what happened to vncviewer?
[16:32] <sdf> hi, does linux need some special drivers to work with DVI? the screen is darker in TTY (in console) than using RGB connection
[16:32] <ikonia> sdf: no
[16:32] <scunizi> maDChoPR: the vnc viewer is called terminal server client
[16:32] <maDChoPR> aah interesting
[16:33] <maDChoPR> what is the difference bteween 'remote desktop viewer' and 'terminal server client'
[16:33] <sdf> ikonia, well.. and it fades a lot
[16:33] <sdf> ikonia, it fades then comes back to *normal* brightness
[16:34] <NFischer> maDChoPR, x vs w/o x
[16:34] <maDChoPR> NFischer: aah thank you
[16:34] <scunizi> maDChoPR: if you have an ubuntu machine setup to do remote login from System/Preferences/Remote Desktop it uses remote desktop viewer. RDP protocol.. if you're going to a machine using vnc then Terminal Server Client will use RDP or VNC protocol
[16:35] <awell> Help with ebox. How do I see the different services?
[16:35] <maDChoPR> scunizi: very nea, thank you;
[16:35] <nosyc> how can I check if a mysql $link is still valid?
[16:35] <maDChoPR> scunizi: i'm used to vncviewer command line :)
[16:35] <ikonia> nosyc: $link ?
[16:35] <nosyc> ikonia: return value from mysql_connect
[16:35] <perlmonkey> does anyone know where I need to go to file a bug report on this mess with Ubuntu's package system breaking the entire system when you do an upgrade?
[16:35] <NFischer> oh i was wrong, sry maD
[16:36] <ikonia> nosyc: isn't that a php function ?
[16:36] <nosyc> wrong channel sorry
[16:36] <erUSUL> !bugs | perlmonkey
[16:36] <sdf> anybody knows anything about DVI issues ? i have weird fading problems in TTY then with using the RGB connection, i have a pc not a laptop
[16:36] <thebloggu> can someone tall me how can i build a gnome icon theme ?
[16:36] <ColonelJ> !bugs | hardwaremanager
[16:37] <ikonia> ColonelJ: ?
[16:37] <perlmonkey> thanks
[16:37] <ColonelJ> lol
[16:37] <ColonelJ> Anyway, yeah, I'm having a problem with the hardware manager thing
[16:37] <ColonelJ> it just displays a lack-of-progress bar always at 0%
[16:39] <shadeslayer> hey can someone help me go back to GRUB1 from GRUB2
[16:40] <ikonia> shadeslayer: just re-apply grub ?
[16:40] <ikonia> shadeslayer: I'm not aware that ubuntu has a grub2 package available
[16:40] <shadeslayer> ikonia: i want to go from grub2 to 1
[16:41] <ikonia> shadeslayer: yes, you said that
[16:41] <shadeslayer> well i installed it in KDE
[16:41] <shadeslayer> ><
[16:41] <ikonia> shadeslayer: just re-apply grub
[16:41] <ikonia> shadeslayer: kde is nothing to do with grub
[16:41] <shadeslayer> so whats the full command
[16:41] <rastat> greetz
[16:41] <shadeslayer> someone at #grub guided me
[16:41] <ikonia> shadeslayer: 1.) how did you install grub2
[16:41] <giovani> shadearg: what makes you think you have grub2?
[16:41] <shadeslayer> above
[16:42] <ikonia> shadeslayer: roughtly what did you do to install grub2
[16:42] <shadeslayer> mm some commands,i dont remember
[16:42] <thebloggu> can someone tall me how can i build a gnome icon theme ?
[16:42] <shadeslayer> they have a guide there i think
[16:42] <ikonia> shadeslayer: I suggest you speak to the guy who helped you install it
[16:42] <giovani> thebloggu: #gnome
[16:42] <shadeslayer> :(
[16:42] <ikonia> shadeslayer: the bottom line is install the "grub" pacakge in #ubuntu then follow this guide
[16:42] <shadeslayer> no reply there
[16:42] <ikonia> !grub > shadeslayer
[16:43] <andash> shadeslayer: but where did you find the guide? why did you install it?
[16:43] <andash> oh in #grub, sorry
[16:44] <shadeslayer> andash: i thought it was better ><
[16:44] <shadeslayer> :P
[16:44] <ikonia> shadeslayer: a "better" boot loader ?? it boots your OS...how much better do you need ?
[16:44] <shadeslayer> :)
[16:44] <PAP-ION> official statistics of crash : Ubuntu 75% crash, and Windows 98 25% crash.
[16:44] <shadeslayer> i thought that since 2>1,so grub2 >>grub 2
[16:45] <shadeslayer> *1
[16:45] <ikonia> PAP-ION: ?
[16:45] <ActionParsnip1> ikonia: some boot loaders cant boot certain things :)
[16:45] <PAP-ION> Bien oui ubuntu c'est de la merde.
[16:45] <ikonia> PAP-ION: this is an english support channel for ubuntu
[16:45] <n8tuserf> PAP-ION -> swearing in french is not acceptable
[16:45] <BiGG_D> lol
[16:46] <shadeslayer> cant i do
[16:46] <ikonia> shadeslayer: can't you do what ?
[16:46] <shadeslayer> sudo apt-get remove grub
[16:46] <MoLoot> If you r gonna swear in an english support channel, at LEAST do it in english...
[16:46] <shadeslayer> and then sudo apt-get install grub
[16:46] <ikonia> shadeslayer: no - thats grub1 - you want grub one
[16:46] <shadeslayer> :)
[16:46] <ikonia> shadeslayer: you didn't insall grub one
[16:46] <shadeslayer> i did
[16:46] <ikonia> shadeslayer: you need to follow the guide I sent you
[16:46] <shadeslayer> i replaced it
[16:46] <ikonia> !grub > shadeslayer
[16:46] <shadeslayer> i have it
[16:47] <shadeslayer> but how do i rewrite grub 2 to grub 1
[16:47] <shadeslayer> no instructions there
[16:47] <ikonia> shadeslayer: follow the guide I sent you
[16:47] <ilowe> how can I prevent an entry from being added to my routing table when eth0 becomes available? It is supposed to be part of a bridge and the new entry in the routing table fscks everything up.
[16:47] <cdavis_> what xinput command can I use to speed up my touchpad?
[16:47] <ikonia> shadeslayer: yes there is
[16:47] <shadeslayer> oh ic
[16:47] <BiGG_D> So uhh...   I was just wondering, whats the difference between running the alternate version install CD in text mode n' the server installer CD of ub 8.10 x64 ?
[16:47] <ikonia> shadeslayer: it shows you how to re-apply grub to the boot sector
[16:47] <shadeslayer> at the bottom
[16:47] <jatt> how do I configure a fully-qualified and globally unique name. An application (leafnode) complains with:
[16:47] <jatt> Leafnode must have a fully-qualified and globally unique domain name, not just "dell-desktop.example.com". Edit your /etc/hosts file to add a unique, fully qualified domain name.
[16:48] <ikonia> shadeslayer: helps if you actually read the text before saying it doesn't work
[16:48] <ColonelJ> hi again, when I go to System->Administration->Hardware Drivers, nothing happens except a lack-of-progress bar comes up stuck at 0%.  Any ideas what the problem is, or how can I get the info through terminal commands?
[16:48] <shadeslayer> :)
[16:48] <shadeslayer> sorry
[16:48] <BiGG_D> Anyone, Anyone ?
[16:49] <ikonia> BiGG_D: what good is saying "anyone" ?
[16:49] <NFischer> ikonia why would you kick PAP-ION?
[16:49] <zilleplus> does anny one know why this command is wrong                            sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/default /etc/apache2/sites-available/zaphu
[16:49] <ikonia> NFischer: bad language
[16:49] <BiGG_D> Uhh...   to see if anyone has an answer to the question I poised ?
[16:49] <zilleplus> does anny one know why this command is wrong                            sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/default /etc/apache2/sites-available/zaphu
[16:49] <shadeslayer> ok done
[16:49] <NFischer> ikonia, but i dont see any Oo
[16:50] <ilowe> BiGG_D: very little when running them
[16:50] <shadeslayer> meet you on the other side of the rebooy
[16:50] <ikonia> BiGG_D: if they didn't answer they either a.) didn't see the question, b.) don't know the answer saying "anyone" won't fix either of those
[16:50] <shadeslayer> *t
[16:50] <ColonelJ> are you allowed to continually repost your question?
[16:50] <mindriot67> enable:  Quit Gossipy?
[16:50] <zilleplus> does anny one know why this command is wrong                            sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/default /etc/apache2/sites-available/zaphu
[16:50] <ikonia> ColonelJ: once every 10 minutes is a good split
[16:50] <ilowe> BiGG_D: The alternate install CD is for customization and OEM stuff in general. Your question was a bit vague.
[16:50] <ikonia> zilleplus: cp -R
[16:50] <ilowe> ColonelJ: yes: at 5 day intervals
[16:51] <BiGG_D> ilowe, would it make any difference running one vs. the other in XenServer ?  I seem to be having some issues getting PV working...   :/
[16:51] <zilleplus> no iKonia does noet work either
[16:51] <ikonia> zilleplus: what is the error
[16:51] <ilowe> BiGG_D: shouldn't make any difference; can you run other ISO images?
[16:51] <mindriot67> any bon bon bunns avail.
[16:51] <zilleplus> unable to resolve host zilleplus
[16:51] <ikonia> mindriot67: what ?
[16:52] <ikonia> zilleplus: what version of ubuntu are you using ?
[16:52] <zilleplus> 8.10
[16:52] <ikonia> zilleplus: it measns sudo can't resolve it's hostname of it self
[16:52] <BiGG_D> ilowe: Yea, server build runs like a champ, but it seems as though cpu's are vpin'd and I'd like to run more than 2 virt instances on a dual core proc
[16:52] <ikonia> zilleplus: look in /etc/hosts for your host name
[16:52] <JosephLinkous> There's a program I want to install on Ubuntu Server 8.10 which is in a .tar.gz. First, how do I go about getting that file to my server? Since there's no GUI, I can't just open a browser and click a link
[16:52] <ilowe> BiGG_D: so what's the problem with the alt?
[16:53] <ikonia> JosephLinkous: what application do you want
[16:53] <BiGG_D> Havent really fiddled with it too much yet, but from what I did -it seemed as if it was exactly the same as server ?
[16:53] <zilleplus> Ikonia i see 2 names one with 127.0.0.1 and one with IP 127.0.1.1
[16:53] <ilowe> JosephLinkous: try "wget <url>" on your server
[16:53] <NFischer> JosephLinkous, man tar
[16:53] <ikonia> zilleplus: can you pastebin your /etc/hosts file please
[16:53] <JosephLinkous> I'm using no-ip.com use a url to point to my home server. They have a program which automatically updates the IP address which that URL links to if your home IP changes
[16:54] <dead_agent> Hi Everyone
[16:54] <BiGG_D> Hey Dead
[16:54] <zilleplus> Ikonia shoudn't know how !
[16:54] <ikonia> !pastebin > zilleplus
[16:54] <ilowe> BiGG_D: The difference is mainly in the menuing system that's built into the CD image; the package structure of the base install is the same by default
[16:54] <JosephLinkous> That way, instead of needing to look up my IP from home every day before going to work, I could simply SSH using that URL
[16:55] <wizzer> whenever i update, it makes my sound drivers unable to work until a restart
[16:55] <ilowe> BiGG_D: The real difference is with the desktop edition (and the K/X Ubuntu stuff)
[16:55] <ilowe> BiGG_D: all your packages should be coming from the same place anyway aren't they?
[16:55] <ilowe> BiGG_D: I mean, are you using a local apt cache?
[16:55] <BiGG_D> So the kernel & everything else is the same between the 2 builds is just the front end of the installer ?
[16:55] <ilowe> BiGG_D: absolutely
 : Heyaa...
[16:56] <ilowe> BiGG_D: remember that intrepid won't run properly as a dom0 without a manually built kernel
[16:56] <BiGG_D> k -So, I suppose my next question becomes I hear 8.10 server is virtualization optimized. is there anything special that needs to be done to get it to run as DomU ?
[16:56] <shadeslayer> ikonia: i now have grub 1,but my kernel went from 2.6.27-11 to 2.6.27-9
[16:56] <shadeslayer> :(
[16:56] <ikonia> BiGG_D: I'm not aware of that
[16:56] <ikonia> shadeslayer: do a kernel update then through synaptic
[16:57] <BiGG_D> Right, Ive seen that there are issues with it running as Dom0 -Which Im not really too concerned with -Im more concerned about DomU
[16:57] <ColonelJ> ilowe: so I'm guessing you spend all your time on irc and read every single comment to be annoyed by something posted in less than 5 days
[16:57] <shadeslayer> can you gimme the command line??
[16:57] <ilowe> BiGG_D: the kernel as of intrepid is supposed to contain the VT switches so it can run as domU
[16:57] <ilowe> ColonelJ: lol, of course not
[16:57] <ikonia> shadeslayer: open the packge manager and make sure your kernel is up to date
[16:57] <JosephLinkous> Alright, next question. Is there anything I need to know about installing from source that is different than simply using apt, other than the obvious? For instance, will it be just as time consuming to uninstall it if I don't need it anymore?
[16:57] <shadeslayer> ?
[16:57] <ikonia> shadeslayer: what part is not clear ?
[16:58] <BiGG_D> Ahhh, so nothing prebuilt then eh ?   Do you know what I need to do (or can you point me in the right direction) for 8.10 server DomU optimization ?  =)
[16:58] <shadeslayer> i open synaptic then??
[16:58] <ikonia> BiGG_D: what sort of optimisation
[16:58] <ikonia> shadeslayer: check your kernel is at the latest package
[16:58] <ikonia> shadeslayer: if it is you need to update /boot/grub/menu.lst with the info for the new kernel
[16:58] <ColonelJ> this is surely a n00b question: how do I check which 3rd party drivers are installed and if they are enabled or not?
[16:58] <ilowe> BiGG_D: pre-built intrepid is "supposed" to run as domU out of the box
[16:58] <BiGG_D> ikona: getting it to run in XenServer PV'd
[16:58] <wolter> how do i get openoffice 3 in ubuntu?
[16:58] <ikonia> BiGG_D: it should run fine out of the box - as any install should
[16:58] <f0urtyfive> anyone have any info on this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/310298 ?
[16:58] <wolter> do i have to download jaunty?
[16:59] <BiGG_D> ilowe, Yea...   thats what I always thought...
[16:59] <ikonia> wolter: if you want to use it yes
[16:59] <ilowe> either way the issue is not which install cd you pick
[16:59] <zilleplus> Ikonia http://paste.ubuntu.com/124329/
[16:59] <MoLoot> f0urtyfive, synaptic package manager and search for open office
[16:59] <ikonia> zilleplus: your hostname is not in that file
[16:59] <Stringcheese> hi all
[16:59] <ikonia> zilleplus: you need to put your hostname in that file and map it to 127.0.1.1
[16:59] <f0urtyfive> moloot: I think you were talking to wolter ;)
[16:59] <zilleplus> i know its in hostname
[17:00] <BiGG_D> ikona, yea...   Like I say -out the box, it runs like a champ it just seems as though it vpin's the cpu's, so Im only running 2 DomU's on a 2 core proc...   :/
[17:00] <f0urtyfive> unless openoffice will fix my video card not outputting HDMI :D
[17:00] <jatt> hi, I got a dynamically assigned IP address from the wlan of my university. I also have a no-ip domain which maps a domain name to that IP address. How do I add this mapping to the /etc/hosts file automatically so I get a fully qualified domain nama?
[17:00] <ikonia> zilleplus: you need to put it in /etc/hosts
[17:00] <shadeslayer> ikonia: im lost,please give me a command line
[17:00] <Stringcheese> can someone help me with a small problem ?
[17:00] <zilleplus> Ikonia put it next to 127.0.1.1 ???
[17:00] <ikonia> zilleplus: yes

[17:01] <nicklas_> yo
[17:01] <ikonia> shadeslayer: edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst to have the new kernel details in - use what's there already as a template
[17:01] <shadeslayer> well i lost my old menu.lst
[17:01] <shadeslayer> :(
[17:01] <n8tuserf> jatt -> perhaps am mis-reading you.. you want the ip address assigned to you to appear in your /etc/hosts  ?
[17:02] <ikonia> shadeslayer: it sounds like your machine is in a mess, I suggest you re-install it and take more care in future before doing things you don't understand
[17:02] <shadeslayer> :O
[17:02] <shadeslayer> noo
[17:02] <shadeslayer> i can boot everything fine
[17:02] <ColonelJ> how do you see which 3rd party drivers are enabled/installed?
[17:02] <shadeslayer> fourtunately
[17:02] <ikonia> shadeslayer: so update your menu.lst
[17:02] <shadeslayer> how??
[17:02] <BiGG_D> mistaking water for hydrogen sulfide?   HTF does anyone mistake water for a fart ?
[17:02] <jatt> n8tuserf: well I think yes. leafnode is complaining that I need a fully qualified name
[17:02] <ikonia> shadeslayer: use what is there as a template to add the new lines for your kernel
[17:02] <ikonia> shadeslayer: with a text editor
[17:02] <shadeslayer> i dont remember the old settings
[17:02] <ikonia> shadeslayer: you don't need to remember
[17:02] <ikonia> shadeslayer: look at what's there - use it as a template
[17:02] <zilleplus> how do i make a new file with nano and not overwrite one???
[17:03] <shadeslayer> oh ok
[17:03] <jatt> n8tuserf: I currently have dell-desktop.example.com and leafnode refuses to start with it
[17:03] <n8tuserf> jatt -> you can manually enter it, or write a script to read the address from ifconfig results and then append that to your /etc/hosts
[17:03] <ikonia> zilleplus: chose a unique name
[17:03] <nerve> how do i write multi line comments in perl
[17:03] <JanKunder> zilleplus,
[17:03] <BiGG_D> zile, name as you do with vi...    sudo vi <new file name>
[17:03] <JanKunder> zilleplus, just write nano NewFileName
[17:03] <jatt> n8tuserf: I see, I will try to do it manually first to see if leafnode starts. Thanks!
[17:03] <nerve> how do i write multi line comments in perl
[17:04] <ikonia> nerve: join #perl for perl help
[17:04] <lubomir> does anyone know when the 29 final will be released
[17:04] <n8tuserf> jatt am not sure what leafnode is, but if you can not even resolve a internet ip address, then your /etc/resolv.conf is misconfigured
[17:04] <lubomir> i mean kernel 2.6.29
[17:04] <ikonia> lubomir: nothing to do with ubuntu - pleae don't ask here
[17:04] <rdavila> Hi friends, one question please
[17:04] <rdavila> how to I can presever the config made with gnome-display-properties?
[17:04] <lubomir> ikonia, okay.thx anyway
[17:04] <rdavila> I have setup dual monitor, but when I reboot the machine this config is lost and I have to make the work again
[17:04] <zilleplus> i made a file in Nano and want to save it how do i do this without overwrithing
[17:05] <ColonelJ> maybe I should join #perl for ubuntu help...
[17:05] <ilowe> zilleplus: control-O
[17:05] <ikonia> ColonelJ: please don't be silly - people are helping you here
[17:05] <n8tuserf> rdavila -> dont know if your ~/.gconf  are the configs you need save?
[17:05] <BiGG_D> lol
[17:05] <zilleplus> yes i know but how do i save it now in the right derictory
[17:06] <n8tuserf> ColonelJ -> am not going to stop you from joining them
[17:06] <nerve> sorry guys
[17:06] <ilowe> zilleplus: type the full path to where you want to save it; or save it somewhere and move it
[17:06] <ColonelJ> n8tuserf: it was a joke... sorry
[17:06] <IdentifyTarget> hello. I have a few questions about using software RAID0 in ubuntu
[17:06] <ikonia> IdentifyTarget: remember to have a seperate boot partition
[17:06] <ikonia> IdentifyTarget: /boot can't be on raid0
[17:06] <IdentifyTarget> 1) Is it easy? 2) If I reinstall ubuntu will I lose my RAID?
[17:07] <n8tuserf> ColonelJ -> whats the issue? clarify please and if anyone has a solution for you
[17:07] <IdentifyTarget> yes the raid will not be boot
[17:07] <tomanak> re
[17:07] <ikonia> IdentifyTarget: yes it's easy - but a very bad idea to use raid0 as a root file system
[17:07] <ikonia> IdentifyTarget: yes you will lose your raid if you re-install
[17:07] <IdentifyTarget> will not be root
[17:07] <ikonia> IdentifyTarget: then you will not lose your raid if you re-install
[17:07] <IdentifyTarget> hmmm...why? is there data stored on the OS particular to my RAID?
[17:07] <ColonelJ> the issue is the hardware drivers manager is failing, and I want to either find out why, or configure drivers another way
[17:07] <IdentifyTarget> ah ok
[17:07] <ikonia> IdentifyTarget: disk headers
[17:08] <rdavila> n8tuserf: do you know if I can write the config of gnome-display-properties to xorg.conf ?
[17:08] <nivalis> ikonia, how about --assemble it after re-install?
[17:08] <lanoxx-> is there a tool that can check sd cards for defects, i have an sd card which has a couple for pictures that suddenly turned unreadable
[17:08] <sdf2> hi
[17:08] <ilowe> ColonelJ: what drivers are you trying to configure?
[17:08] <ColonelJ> graphics
[17:08] <NFischer> sdf2, hey
[17:08] <n8tuserf> rdavila -> sure you can, read the results of gnome-display-properties  and then make sure the entries in xorg.conf matches
[17:09] <gerber_> how can i put a password in a web site ?
[17:09] <ColonelJ> but I don't even know which drivers are installed because the admin thing won't open
[17:09] <ikonia> gerber_: use an auth module
[17:09] <sdf2> i just started using ubuntu and actually, i can't configure my soundcard atm
[17:09] <ikonia> ColonelJ: as a test please do "sudo apt-get update"
[17:09] <gerber_> how
[17:09] <sdf2> i have a notebook asus f3sv and the i have an integrated soundcard in it, and an usb soundcard
[17:09] <n8tuserf> gerber -> have you done any tutorials like apache?  perhaps thats in order so you can learn these techniques?
[17:09] <IdentifyTarget> ikonia: will the RAID be recognized by any linux kernel if I reinstall?
[17:09] <ilowe> ColonelJ: what's the problem with the graphics driver?
[17:10] <sdf2> i'm trying to use the usb soundcard, but in teamspeak, i hear my friends from the notebook, and not from the usb soundcard
[17:10] <DottAgasa> hello
[17:10] <ColonelJ> it's probably nothing
[17:10] <sdf2> is there a way to fix this?
[17:10] <ColonelJ> But it concerns me that I can't check
[17:10] <gerber_> how can i put a password in a web site ?
[17:10] <DottAgasa> i am searching for a livecd that can write on ntfs immediately without setting up anything
[17:10] <ilowe> ColonelJ: it's probably nothing and you've been complaining that people won't help you?
[17:10] <DottAgasa> can ubuntu do that?
[17:10] <DottAgasa> i'm a newbie, i must say.
[17:10] <n8tuserf> gerber -> have you done any tutorials like apache?  perhaps thats in order so you can learn these techniques? https and such..
[17:10] <ilowe> ColonelJ: try "dpkg --list" and look at all the packages
[17:11] <ikonia> IdentifyTarget: yes
[17:11] <ColonelJ> well actually there was a problem because I can't enable the visual effects
[17:11] <IdentifyTarget> excellent
[17:11] <nicklas__> http://www.moonos.co.cc/
[17:11] <maDChoPR> gerber: look up .htpasswd authentication and apache
[17:11] <lanoxx-> DottAgasa, the ntfs-3g driver can write on ntfs
[17:11] <ikonia> ColonelJ: as a test please do "sudo apt-get update"
[17:11] <n8tuserf> DottAgasa -> i believed the 8.10 can  .. you tried yet?
[17:11] <ColonelJ> ikonia I did that
[17:11] <ikonia> ColonelJ: what happened ?
[17:11] <rayne_> ColonelJ, Have you installed the restricted drivers?
[17:11] <ColonelJ> loads of stuff came up
[17:12] <ikonia> ColonelJ: any warnings or errors ?
[17:12] <lanoxx-> DottAgasa, i think that was already possible since 8.04
[17:12] <_VIM_> nicklas_ is that a spam link?
[17:12] <DottAgasa> n8tuserf: i didnt try yet as i do not have more that a cd to spare.
[17:12] <gribouille> hi
[17:12] <sdf2> hi
[17:12] <DottAgasa> n8tuserf: i wanted to be sure beforehand.
[17:12] <ColonelJ> ikonia: just a list of lines starting with Hit
[17:12] <ColonelJ> and reading packages... done
[17:12] <ikonia> ColonelJ: ok, that's good.
[17:13] <ikonia> ColonelJ: so when you visit system->administration->hardware drivers the gui doesn't open ?
[17:13] <ColonelJ> rayne_: how do I install restricted drivers?
[17:13] <gribouille> I'm trying to install the NVIDIA drivers, but the installer complains because it can't find the kernel source tree. how can I install it ?
[17:13] <n8tuserf> DottAgasa -> do you have ubuntu installed persistently?
[17:13] <rayne_> ColonelJ, are you working off a livecd?
[17:13] <sdf2> anybody can help me with laptop sound problem?
[17:13] <ColonelJ> no, it's installed to hard disk
[17:13] <cconstantine> has anyone gotten nvidia's 180x driver to work in nvidia
[17:13] <DottAgasa> n8tuserf: i have debian on the laptop, but the problem (crashed windows registry system hive) is on the workstation.
[17:14] <rayne_> ColonelJ, What video card do you have?
[17:14] <ColonelJ> it's an ancient one
[17:14] <ColonelJ> RAGE128
[17:14] <green0> hi
[17:14] <sdf2> hi
[17:14] <green0> when i install a minimalist ubuntu system, is there no service running like it would be in debian ?
[17:14] <rayne_> ColonelJ, Is the the desktop effects that you are trying to enable and it isn't letting you?
[17:14] <ColonelJ> Yes
[17:15] <ikonia> green0: it's minimal - only running what you installed
[17:15] <ColonelJ> the 3d screensavers work albeit slowly
[17:15] <green0> can i ihave gnome without installing ubuntu-desktop?
[17:15] <ColonelJ> slower than it should be I reckon
[17:15] <rayne_> ColonelJ, Okay, some drivers cannot be installed by default by Ubuntu, and are installed using the Restricted Drivers Manager
[17:15] <ikonia> green0: sure
[17:15] <green0> ikonia, sounds good :)
[17:15] <gribouille> I'm trying to install the NVIDIA drivers, but the installer complains because it can't find the kernel source tree. how can I install it ?
[17:15] <ColonelJ> If Restricted Drivers Manager = Hardware Drivers, that's my problem
[17:16] <ColonelJ> (I'm in Ubuntu 8.10)
[17:16] <green0> is it possible to install this minimalist system from the ubuntu livecd?
[17:16] <ikonia> gribouille: use the restricted driver mnager
[17:16] <ikonia> gribouille: no
[17:16] <rayne_> ColonelJ, Goto 'System' --> ' Admin' --- > "hardware Drivers'
[17:16] <Flannel> green0: No, just the alternate CD
[17:16] <ikonia> gribouille: sorry
[17:16] <ikonia> green0:  no
[17:16] <FloodBot2> ikonia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:16] <Flannel> green0: well, alternate/server/minimal (all the non-desktop CDs
[17:16] <ColonelJ> rayne_ when I do that I get a progress bar stuck on 0%, that was my first question
[17:16] <green0> ok thanks
[17:17] <green0> is there a way to boot from this alternate ISO without buring a new cd?
[17:17] <wizzer> whenever i update, it makes my sound drivers unable to work until a restart
[17:17] <ColonelJ> rayne_: I'll try it again, and let it run for a bit...
[17:17] <rayne_> ColonelJ, Ah, I didn't see that question. You try letting it sit for a bit?
[17:17] <Flannel> !install | green0
[17:17] <nivalis> green0, yes
[17:17] <Flannel> green0: That page has a few methods that don't require CD burning (which one is best depends on what you have available)
[17:18] <DottAgasa> i'm downloading 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) live cd. is it the right choice?
[17:18] <ColonelJ> rayne_: does it come up immediately for you or does it take time to load?#
[17:18] <sdf2> anybody can help me with my usb soundcard problem?
[17:18] <green0> Flannel, thank you
[17:18] <rayne_> ColonelJ, It takes a little time, as it scans your system for devices
[17:18] <ColonelJ> ah
[17:18] <green0> !automate
[17:18] <dayo> !squid > dayo
[17:19] <sdf2> i get ignored again TT
[17:19] <ColonelJ> I have another problem which is probably related, there are two soundcards on the system, but ubuntu only detects the internal one
[17:19] <Flannel> !repeat | sdf2
[17:19] <rayne_> ColonelJ, One problem at a time :)
[17:20] <DottAgasa> !patience
[17:20] <ColonelJ> rayne_: yeah sure
[17:20] <Akuma0n3> hello
[17:20] <green0> DottAgasa, for installin a desktop system?
[17:20] <sdf2> i have 2 soundcards in my laptop, the integrated one, and the usb one, i wanna use the usb soundcard, but oss programs don't play sond to my usb soundcard only alsa does
[17:20] <Flannel> sdf2: Also, the forums (ubuntuforums.org) are a good, they seem to cover a lot of sound things and may already have your soluion in the archive
[17:20] <DottAgasa> this bot is fantastic.
[17:20] <sdf2> how can i fix this?
[17:20] <jatt> hi, I did change my /etc/hosts manually entering the following entry:
[17:20] <jatt> 172.20.100.151  m123.no-ip.info              m123
[17:20] <jatt> however /bin/hostname returns:
[17:20] <jatt> dell-desktop
[17:20] <FloodBot2> jatt: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:20] <MoLoot> sdf2, You can always post on ubuntu support forms as well
[17:20] <jatt> which is an old entry I deleted from /etc/hosts
[17:20] <jatt> are /etc/hostname contents cached?
[17:21] <rayne_> sdf2, ubuntuforums.org has been extremely useful for me.
[17:21] <Akuma> I have just installed ubuntu 8.10 with netinstall and I ran into some problems: first it didn't finish the install, but I managed to install grub.
[17:21] <Akuma> Now my main concern is that I have windows partition
[17:21] <Akuma> that still appear in cfdisk
[17:21] <rayne_> sdf2, You can just search for your sound card and most times you will find someone that had the same problem and there is a guide on how to fix
[17:21] <Akuma> that I have not touched in the partitioning process
[17:21] <Guest63792> hey guys... I would want to disable ipv6 on my macmini ubuntu. ive added alias for that in bad_list. but it doesnt seems to help. the problem is that i dont get internetconnection through my router to the machine. any ideas?
[17:22] <rayne_> ColonelJ, Any progress with the drivers manager?
[17:22] <gribouille> I'm trying to install the NVIDIA drivers, but the installer complains because it can't find the kernel source tree. how can I install it ?
[17:22] <ColonelJ> rayne_: the progress bar is at 0% still
[17:22] <Akuma> now, when grub got installed
[17:22] <ilowe> gribouille: you probably need only the "linux-headers" package
[17:22] <Akuma> I couldn't boot XP anymore
[17:22] <ColonelJ> rayne_: ok it just disappeared
[17:22] <ilowe> gribouille: if that's not enough try "linux-source" or something
[17:22] <Akuma> the system said: "Partition doesn't exist"
[17:23] <ActionParsnip1> !ipv6
[17:23] <rayne_> ColonelJ, Did it pop up with a little window?
[17:23] <erUSUL> !nvidia | gribouille
[17:23] <ColonelJ> rayne_: nope just disappeared & left nothing
[17:23] <Akuma> even though I haven't played with my windows partitions
[17:23] <shadeslayer> f0urtyfive: softpedia has a guide
[17:23] <n8tuserf> grymme -> alias net-pf-10 ipv6 off   in aliases file
[17:24] <rayne_> ColonelJ, Well... that is interesting. Try posting/searching ubuntuforums.org, I'm not sure where to go from where you are now.
[17:24] <Akuma> the partitions still appear in cfisk
[17:24] <grymme> n8tuserf: tryed that too. :P
[17:24] <grymme> n8tuserf: didnt work
[17:24] <Akuma> with the right size and everything
[17:24] <wizz3> join #ubuntu-helpteam
[17:24] <rayne_> What is a good partitioning program?
[17:24] <n8tuserf> grymme -> thats the usual place to disable ipv6
[17:24] <magnetron> rayne_→ gparted.
[17:24] <ilowe> ColonelJ: unless you installed proprietary drivers, nothing will appear in that window
[17:24] <n8tuserf> alias ipv6 off
[17:25] <racecar56> is it possible to get vlc 0.9.8a on 8.10
[17:25] <grymme> n8tuserf: thx.
[17:25] <ColonelJ> ilowe: the window didn't even appear
[17:25] <rayne_> magnetron, Is it GUI or terminal?
[17:25] <magnetron> rayne_→ it's GUI.
[17:25] <ilowe> ColonelJ: did you install proprietary drivers or is your machine "out of the box"
[17:25] <ColonelJ> ilowe: I haven't installed any myself
[17:25] <grymme> n8tuserf: i found some other instructions here. ill give them a try. im running a old ubuntu for my g4 macmini. so it might work. and might not work. :)
[17:25] <grymme> n8tuserf:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 here a meant. :)
[17:25] <rayne_> magnetron, Thanks.
[17:26] <ilowe> ColonelJ: then don't worry about it; you don't have any drivers to manage in that window
[17:26] <ColonelJ> ilowe: but the problem is the visual effects won't enable
[17:26] <ilowe> ColonelJ: your problem (if there is one) is somewhere else
[17:26] <ColonelJ> ilowe: and the visual effects thing tries to fire up the drivers manager
[17:26] <ColonelJ> since the behaviour is the same
[17:26] <ilowe> ColonelJ: have you checked that your gfx card is supported and everything?
[17:27] <Rayan> wahoo http://wallywashis.name/in?58f96f46fb0f
[17:27] <ilowe> I mean that effects are supported on it?
[17:27] <ColonelJ> ilowe: I don't see how that's relevant to the drivers manager
[17:27] <ActionParsnip1> !terminal
[17:28] <ColonelJ> ilowe: it's possible that it doesn't have the necessary features
[17:28] <ilowe> ColonelJ: because you said your card was ancient
[17:28] <ilowe> ColonelJ: so it may not support the effects (stab in the dark here)
[17:28] <ilowe> ColonelJ: where did you go to enable the effects?
[17:29] <ColonelJ> ilowe: I got a 404 on the page that tells you what the requirements are
[17:29] <ColonelJ> ilowe: and then I got redirected to a page saying that the page was deleted
[17:30] <ilowe> ColonelJ: OK, can you do "lspci" and pastebin the results?
[17:30] <ColonelJ> ilowe: System -> Preferences -> Appearance
[17:30] <ColonelJ> ilowe: normal doesn't work either
[17:31] <ilowe> ColonelJ: what card are you using?
[17:31] <ColonelJ> ilowe: http://rafb.net/p/gulXb977.html
[17:31] <ColonelJ> ilowe: ATI Rage 128
[17:32] <WaltzingAlong> racecar56: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html
[17:32] <JanKunder> sadasdas
[17:32] <Jan___Kunder> asdas
[17:33] <ilowe> ColonelJ: OK, should be no problem. What happens when you select the other effects options?
[17:33] <voglster> anyone else have issues with ubuntu's remote desktop only showing a black screen?
[17:33] <JanKunder____> sorry for test ;lk;lk;
[17:33] <JanKunder> sorry for testFN
[17:33] <bazhang> !test
[17:34] <sdf2> is there any way, to make teamspeak(oss) to play sound to a specified soundcard?
[17:35] <ColonelJ> ilowe: ok currently the setting is on none, and it appears to be working fine
[17:35] <ColonelJ> as soon as I click on either of the other options I get a window come up saying "Searching for available drivers"
[17:35] <voglster> can anyone point me in the right direction of being able to see the current session and desktop on a remote computer?... the one that comes with ubuntu seems to only display a black screen... though the mouse works fine
[17:36] <ColonelJ> (exactly the same thing that happens when I try to open the drivers manager
[17:36] <ilowe> ColonelJ: interesting.... well... I can't say I know why it's doing that
[17:38] <ActionParsnip1> !teamspeak
[17:39] <rayne_> I get this error when trying to test my sound capture device, http://pastebin.com/d2a60a509
[17:39] <sdf2> anybody can help me with alsa-oss package?
[17:40] <sdf2> actually when i start my oss program with aoss then it recognize no sound
[17:41] <nosyc> how can I check how much bandwidth I've used from the terminal?
[17:41] <rayne_> Need help, I get this error when trying to test my sound capture device, http://pastebin.com/d2a60a509
[17:41] <n8tuserf> voglster -> you need to install x11vnc to make that happen
[17:41] <ColonelJ> ilowe: I let the progress bar continue doing nothing and eventually it disappeared and then I got an error saying visual effects could not be enabled
[17:41] <ColonelJ> and it switched back to none
[17:42] <chaitan3> nosyc,  cat /proc/net/dev
[17:42] <ilowe> ColonelJ: that would be your answer then
[17:42] <voglster> n8tuserf, do you know what the default (gui based) desktop sharing app is?
[17:42] <ColonelJ> ilowe: nah there must be something wrong
[17:42] <silas_5181> oye..
[17:43] <n8tuserf> voglster -> vino, but it would not do a current session remotely to appear
[17:43] <silas_5181> can any one help me with how can i delete the temp internet folders
[17:43] <voglster> n8tuserf, strange thing i can connect.. system is listening on 5900 mouse and keyboard sending works... just get a black screen though
[17:43] <voglster> n8tuserf, thanks, time to do some reading
[17:43] <Vdub> Can someone help me with AWN?
[17:44] <Vdub> It's probably a dumb question. But is there a way to have Avant mount on the sides? Rather then just at the bottum?
[17:44] <Vdub> A quick read through the prefferences doesn't show anything right off.
[17:44] <rayne_> ColonelJ, Your video may not support the advanced desktop effects
[17:44] <perillux> can someone tell me how to stop certain startup applications.  I mean applications that I can stop by doing  sudo /etc/init.d/foo stop   Is there a way to prevent them from automatically starting, such as SAMBA?
[17:44] <dayo> silas_5181: which browser?
[17:45] <ColonelJ> rayne_: I would like to know for certain
[17:45] <rayne_> ColonelJ, I am still searching.
[17:45] <ColonelJ> rayne_: a web page telling me the minimum requirements would be really nice
[17:46] <hlfshell> Hmm... video is blinkin in and out and freaks out whenever I have compiz effects enabled. this didn't USE to happen... :-/ anyone with an idea of whats causing this?
[17:46] <n8tuserf> perillux -> use of invoke-rc.d    its like the sys V way of starting scripts, like a chkconfig of rpm based systems
[17:47] <darksifer> hi everyone
[17:47] <anakiya> alguém fala portuguÊs?
[17:47] <hal_> hello, and welcome to the machine
[17:47] <bazhang> !pt
[17:47] <whiten0ise> whats more used -- pidgin or gaim
[17:48] <Joh739> pidgin
[17:48] <hal_> i like pidgin
[17:48] <Joh739> I use Empathy
[17:48] <perillux> n8tuserf: so what would be the command then to stop samba from starting?
[17:48] <sjoerd> whiten0ise: gaim was reneamed to pidgin
[17:48] <whiten0ise> i'm thinking of taking up a dev project, was wondering if it would be worthwhile to take pidgin apart and rework some of it
[17:48] <hal_> was it?
[17:48] <whiten0ise> since its not that great
[17:49] <hal_> well, it works
[17:49] <whiten0ise> and like Windows has MSN messenger, we could have... Ubuntu Messenger!
[17:49] <dayo> whiten0ise: please add webcam support to pidgin, kthx
[17:49] <whiten0ise> there's an idea, i could do that.
[17:49] <n8tuserf> perillux -> well you look for the entry in /etc/init.d/  or /etc/rcS.d/K*   that relates to samba
[17:49] <hal_> i think someone is working on ubuntu mess.
[17:49] <darksifer> i have a line of 1megabit per sec download and 256 kilobit per sec for upload. i download at 75 kilobyte per sec. is that the download speed of this line?????? plz tel me
[17:49] <nivalis> whiten0is, you mean.. like jabber?
[17:49] <whiten0ise> i'll ask in ubuntu-devel..
[17:49] <whiten0ise> no
[17:49] <n8tuserf> perillux -> but i'd like to you to investigate the usage of invoke-rc.d please
[17:50] <markl__> darksifer: speakeasy.net has a bandwidth test
[17:50] <n8tuserf> darksifer -> a byte == 8bits ...do some mathematic-king  lol
[17:50] <perillux> n8tuserf: ok thanks
[17:51] <markl__> http://speakeasy.net/speedtest/
[17:51] <darksifer> yeah i tried http://www.speedtest.net/ thx
[17:53] <sammy> anyone else running jaunty notice the orange gear update-manager icon doesn't show up anymore?
[17:53] <bazhang> #ubuntu+1 sammy
[17:54] <sammy> bazhang, I was just asking ubottu if there was a chatroom for jaunty :) thanks
[17:54] <storbeck> w00t. My speakeasy is 8266/1097
[17:54] <sammy> storbeck, speakeasy++
[17:54] <giovani> speakeasy's gone to hell recently :(
[17:54] <Guest26016> Anyone have much luck using IBM ServeRaid  SCSI controllers with Ubuntu
[17:55] <TheGambler> noob question here; is it possible to administer a LAMP setup on Hardy Heron completely from the command line?
[17:55] <sammy> giovani, thats what happens when best buy buys you out, I guess. no longer the service, geek driven service they used to be
[17:55] <giovani> TheGambler: uh ... absolutely -- that's the only way anyone experienced would do it
[17:55] <genii> Guest26016: You might find someone more knowledgeable on that subject in #ubuntu-server
[17:55] <Guest26016> Thanks
[17:55] <giovani> in fact, the vast majority of administration/configuration can only be done from the command line
[17:55] <TheGambler> excellent
[17:56] <sdf2> where can i set, my default soundcard?
[17:56] <ColonelJ> I tried to run chromium and the whole system crashed
[17:56] <storbeck> sdf2: asoundconf
[17:56] <TheGambler> giovani: I an new to the Linux environment but what I see so far, I like very much
[17:56] <Art4k> How to extract .tgz files
[17:57] <giovani> TheGambler: I'm glad -- we like it too :)
[17:57] <rayne_> ColonelJ, If desktop effects are not being enabled, either the drivers are not installed or your card cannot handle the effects. Since you can't check the drivers manager, I would troubleshoot that problem first. I have yet to find anything, so try posting on ubuntuforums.org
[17:57] <storbeck> Art4k: tar xvzf file.tgz
[17:57] <jackie999> I have an absolute beginners question..when I copy files over from, say a CD to my home folder there is a 'lock' showing and I can't make changes ..is there someway to stop this from happening everytime?
[17:57] <storbeck> jackie999: Fix the permissions
[17:57] <TheGambler> giovani: I have been a Windows developer for 12 years; I want to jump ship from this craptastic platform
[17:58] <jackie999> I can fix individually ..but want to stop it happening every time..how do I do that?
[17:58] <giovani> TheGambler: a developer? ok, cool, what do/did you develop? in what language?
[17:58] <storbeck> jackie999: As I previously said, fix the permissions before you move them
[17:58] <ColonelJ> From what I've seen so far Ubuntu has very bad support for old hardware
[17:58] <ColonelJ> and in Windows XP it works just FINE
[17:58] <TheGambler> giovani: VB5/6, VB.Net, c#, asp, ASP.Net, T-SQL (Since 6.0)
[17:58] <jackie999> how would I do that? I select on CD and paste into home..where do I fix permission?
[17:58] <TheGambler> giovani: DCOM, etc
[17:59] <storbeck> Files on the cdrom are by default read only, since you obviously can not re-write a cdrom r disk
[17:59] <giovani> TheGambler: uh ... ok
[17:59] <giovani> that's all fake microsoft stuff
[17:59] <ColonelJ> TheGambler: that isn't a very diverse mix of language
[18:00] <sdf2> storbeck: when i use, asoundconf list, i can't see the soundcard i wanna set to default
[18:00] <sdf2> its an usb soundcard
[18:00] <storbeck> jackie999: for i in /media/cdrom/*; do mv "$i" ~/; chmod 644 "~/$i"; done
[18:00] <Wazle> how can i change the solution wine is running the windows programms?
[18:00] <TheGambler> I am aware of this; however I can learn anything. I have built sites with perl and PHP on MySQL and PostgreSQL
[18:00] <jackie999> ty storbeck
[18:00] <storbeck> np
[18:00] <TheGambler> I listed my core work experience
[18:00] <LiraNuna> how can I cross compile 32bit applications (for now trying a single .cpp file)?
[18:00] <giovani> ok
[18:00] <TheGambler> I'm not one to pad resume because I did half a dozen small projects with a lang
[18:01] <giovani> well good luck with your linux immersion
[18:01] <LiraNuna> I've tried g++ -m32 but I get "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++" as error
[18:01] <TheGambler> thanks, I am reading/doing
[18:01] <TheGambler> it helps that I have plenty of embedded systems devs as friends
[18:01] <storbeck> sdf2: Can lscpi find it?
[18:01] <elena39> server otrere.irc.gr
[18:01] <Wazle> does anyone know how to change the solution wine is running my windows programms?
[18:02] <TheGambler> anhow, thanks for confirming about the CLI
[18:02] <giovani> Wazle: what do you mean "change the solution"
[18:02] <ColonelJ> are there any good 3d graphics testing programs on ubuntu to check that features are working
[18:02] <Wazle> i do have a netbook with solution of 1024*576 and i want wine to run windows programms in this solution
[18:02] <storbeck> ColonelJ: compiz
[18:02] <ColonelJ> except compiz, since I can't enable it
[18:03] <giovani> ColonelJ: what features?
[18:03] <storbeck> ColonelJ: glxgears
[18:03] <_VIM_> resolution*
[18:03] <LiraNuna> Wazle, you mean resolution, and to change it, use winecfg -> graphics
[18:03] <herlon> quit
[18:03] <giovani> Wazle: your netbook and resolution has nothing to do with wine
[18:03] <giovani> ohh
[18:03] <defrysk> !glxgears
[18:03] <giovani> heh, how you get from solution to resolution?
[18:03] <LiraNuna> and untick virtual desktop
[18:03] <herlon> exit
[18:03] <herlon> quit
[18:03] <anatashinu> hi
[18:03] <LiraNuna> giovani, probably not a native english speaker
[18:04] <storbeck> defrysk: That's a pretty descriptive irc bot, isn't it? Haha
[18:04] <ColonelJ> defrysk: I see gears... turning
[18:04] <anatashinu> hey, can anybody help me with some wifi troubles onn my new laptop?
[18:04] <giovani> LiraNuna: there are other language support channels for ubuntu, no?
[18:04] <nivalis> !love
[18:04] <ColonelJ> ...turning...
[18:04] <storbeck> ColonelJ: How's the fps?
[18:04] <Wazle> thx luna this solves my problem
[18:04] <LiraNuna> giovani, yes, maybe he doesn't know that
[18:04] <ColonelJ> circumgyrationtastic
[18:04] <_VIM_> lmao at !love factoid
[18:04] <storbeck> Then your 3d is fine :)
[18:04] <ColonelJ> storbeck: it doesn't say
[18:04] <ColonelJ> but it looks smooth enough
[18:04] <anatashinu> anybody?
[18:05] <LiraNuna> how can I cross compile 32bit applications (for now trying a single .cpp file)?
[18:05] <ColonelJ> however, that doesn't really prove anything
[18:05] <LiraNuna> I've tried g++ -m32 but I get "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++" as error
[18:05] <storbeck> ColonelJ: If you let it run long enough, it will print it out
[18:05] <ColonelJ> that's just a simple 3d object
[18:05] <anatashinu> hello?
[18:05] <storbeck> 3821 frames in 5.0 seconds = 764.132 FPS
[18:05] <defrysk> usually glxinfo | grep direct gives the info you need
[18:05] <giovani> ColonelJ: it proves that your 3d accerlation is working -- that seems to be what you wanted
[18:05] <pagoda> i have a laptop running ubuntu with a monitor plugged in.  the monitor is duplicating what's on the laptop screen, and it's distorted because the resolutions are the same but the aspect ratios are different.  how can i mess with these settings?  i don't think it's detecting the second monitor in the screen resolution dialog.
[18:05] <giovani> if you wanted something else -- try being more clear and explicit
[18:05] <erUSUL> LiraNuna: g++ -m=ia32
[18:05] <erUSUL> ?
[18:05] <ColonelJ> giovani: I'm happy with the answer
[18:06] <anatashinu> I just got a new laptop, but when I enter the passphrase for the wifi connection, it won't accept it.
[18:06] <storbeck> pagoda: Edit your xorg.conf
[18:06] <LiraNuna> erUSUL, cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option "-m=ia32"
[18:06] <LiraNuna> erUSUL, I'm sure -m32 is the correct one, I'm just missing libraries
[18:06] <pagoda> storbeck, do you know what in there i have to edit?
[18:06] <Nith> pagoda: are you runnint intrepid and did you start the machine up with the monitor attached?
[18:06] <anatashinu> can anybody hear me?
[18:06] <ColonelJ> storbeck: it still hasn't told me FPS
[18:06] <LiraNuna> erUSUL, I got no clue if there's an ia32-dev package or anything
[18:06] <Nith> s/runnint/running
[18:06] <anatashinu> echo! echo!
[18:06] <storbeck> ColonelJ: Then you have a weird setup :)
[18:07] <nivalis> anatashin, yes
[18:07] <anatashinu> o on
[18:07] <pagoda> Nith, i don't think i'm running intrepid. i did start it with the monitor attached
[18:07] <anatashinu> ok*
[18:07] <storbeck> ColonelJ: http://pastebin.com/d40ac37b0
[18:07] <LiraNuna> pagoda, what's your graphic card?
[18:07] <erUSUL> LiraNuna: is -march=i386 or something like that... check the docs just pointing you in the right direction ;P
[18:07] <anatashinu> then can somebody please help me with wifi?
[18:07] <pagoda> LiraNuna, ati radeon mobility x1400 or somesuch
[18:08] <LiraNuna> erUSUL, -march is for optimization, not cross compiling
[18:08] <ColonelJ> storbeck: oops
[18:08] <ColonelJ> thought you meant it would come up in a window
[18:08] <storbeck> Nope :)
[18:08] <marcel-halls> Boa tarde! estou com um problema interessante, baixei o kubuntu 8.10 e instalei em um notebook Positivo v95+ com placa de video VIA Chrome 9, o estranho é que logo apos o boot, da tela de kubuntu que fica com uma barrinha pra um lado e para outro e tela fica preta e eu nao conigo tem ir para uma console ( control + alt + 2 ), a maquina trava literalmente.
[18:08] <JosephLinkous> Question: I just installed a program via tar.gz and make install. Where would it install to, and can I remove the unpacked directory created when un-tar'ing the original file?
[18:08] <anatashinu> can somebody tell me where I can find help for wifi atleast? (with a real person)
[18:08] <storbeck> !wifi | anatashinu
[18:08] <ColonelJ> storbeck: FPS is ~ 1200
[18:08] <LiraNuna> pagoda, try System -> Perfs -> Screen resolution
[18:08] <storbeck> ColonelJ: Sounds like it's working :)
[18:08] <anatashinu> with a real person?
[18:08] <pagoda> Nith, oh intrepid is a version of ubuntu.  no i have hardy
[18:09] <chaitan3> LiraNuna, try this link http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-9957.html
[18:09] <LiraNuna> pagoda, if you're using the propitiatory drivers, you should be able to manage your screens
[18:09] <grymme> hey guys, is DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 standard procedure? i dont get an IP# even though other computers can connect to the router without issues. but i cant connect on my wired eth0 to the router, any ideas?
[18:09] <giovani> anatashinu: your question is too generic -- a lot of people need help -- try using the documentation first
[18:09] <storbeck> grymme: Are you sure your interface is eth0?
[18:09] <pagoda> LiraNuna, it only shows one screen ("unknown") and it doesn't detect the external monitor
[18:10] <LiraNuna> pagoda, I'm sorry, I don't have experience with ATI and dual head
[18:10] <andreic> JosephLinkous yes you can delete it
[18:10] <grymme> storbeck: i only have 2. lo and eth0.
[18:10] <pagoda> LiraNuna, no worries. thanks anyway
[18:10] <LiraNuna> chaitan3, "m32 works if gcc was built with multilib" do I need to install a diffenret -multilib gcc?
[18:10] <storbeck> grymme: pastebin your whole: dhclient ath0
[18:10] <storbeck> err, eth0*
[18:10] <anatashinu> When I enter the password for the wifi, it doesn't accept it. I have tried to translate it to hex, but nothing happens
[18:10] <ColonelJ> storbeck: any programs to check actual 3d effects like mipmapping textures etc. etc.
[18:10] <storbeck> ColonelJ: Urban Terror
[18:11] <LiraNuna> chaitan3, trying to install g++-multilib package
[18:11] <Nith> pagoda: ATI is bad news with multi-monitor. Make sure you've backed up your xorg.conf
[18:11] <giovani> anatashinu: there could be a dozen things wrong there -- there are many online resources for troubleshooting this -- what type of encryption does the network use?
[18:11] <Nith> pagoda: Thats about the best advice I can give
[18:11] <anatashinu> I'm not sure. It's a belkin54g
[18:11] <anatashinu> router
[18:11] <pagoda> Nith, ok thanks man.
[18:11] <LiraNuna> chaitan3, thank you very much! that solves it
[18:11] <storbeck> That doesn't tell us anything, anatashinu
[18:11] <ColonelJ> storbeck: urban terror doesn't appear to be in the package manager
[18:11] <anatashinu> I have a lenovo 3000 n500 laptop
[18:11] <giovani> anatashinu: well, if you don't know -- there's very little anyone can do to help troubleshoot it
[18:11] <storbeck> ColonelJ: So?
[18:11] <anatashinu> how do I find out?
[18:11] <grymme> storbeck: its pretty much what he writes here: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux-help/76096-dhcpdiscover-error-when-configuring-eth0.html
[18:11] <Nith> pagoda: and a fair warning, I have lost days to that when I first started, so it depends on how much you want it as well
[18:12] <giovani> anatashinu: you'd go into your router's configuration, where you entered the password, and look
[18:12] <webo> Hi... I have a problem with the Desktop Effects, can someone help me?

[18:12] <Guest88690> I am new to ubuntu...how do I find out how much hdd was used when i installed ubuntu?
[18:12] <Guest88690> I am using the terminal
[18:12] <LiraNuna> erUSUL, the problem is GCC was compiled without multilib
[18:12] <giovani> Guest24182: you can find out how much is used now -- but not in the past
[18:12] <LiraNuna> erUSUL, installing g++-multilib solves it

[18:21] <wal3> storbeck: it works on other machince tho
[18:21] <IntuitiveNipple> SB6789: Some applications can't handle some cameras because they don't know how to decode the 'signal'
[18:21] <storbeck> wal3: Well, it shouldn't. You need more than an authorized_keys file
[18:21] <RainCT> storbeck: for video?
[18:22] <storbeck> RainCT: I think so
[18:22] <storbeck> I don't know what you mean by 'resize' but it will do the audio stuff
[18:23] <SB6789> when i go to preferences to try and set it up, it says - "no webcam were found or your webcam is already in use by another program)
[18:24] <Ubuntuuu2> Ca I log into my regular ubuntu user account when I use the ubuntu live cd?
[18:24] <storbeck> Ubuntuuu2: you can mount it and chroot to it
[18:24] <Ubuntuuu2> how?
[18:24] <storbeck> man mount and man chroot
[18:24] <Ubuntuuu2> Because all i need to do is edit a file
[18:25] <storbeck> basically, mkdir /mnt/sda, mount /dev/sda /mnt/sda, chroot /mnt/sda bash
[18:25] <green0> one last question :)
[18:25] <storbeck> You should really read the man pages though
[18:25] <green0> will also an alternate installation add windows to grub?
[18:26] <lirijavdekje> ?
[18:26] <Ubuntuuu2> Permision denied
[18:26] <storbeck> Use sudo...
[18:27] <Ubuntuuu2> All I need to do is edit the file gdmsetup so I can make it so my regular ubuntu instalation dosn't autoboot
[18:27] <Ubuntuuu2> because I think thats whats making it so I cant boot
[18:27] <storbeck> Ubuntuuu2: I already told you how to fix it.
[18:27] <storbeck> Now do it
[18:27] <Ubuntuuu2> how?
[18:27] <storbeck> I already told you!
[18:27] <LeChacal> does anyone know where in the ubuntu script for x start up that control numlock being turned on? or how to turn numlock on an off from a script without installing the numlockx package?
[18:27] <hunt577> Hey everyone
[18:28] <Ubuntuuu2> It didn't work
[18:28] <storbeck> Ubuntuuu2: Read the man pages. You did it wrong.
[18:28] <Ubuntuuu2> it said cannot create directory
[18:28] <storbeck> Because you're not using sudo
[18:28] <Ubuntuuu2> yes I am
[18:28] <aw1231> i can't install the nividia graphics driver
[18:28] <_VIM_> fight fight!
[18:29] <storbeck> Ubuntuuu2: pastebin exactly what your terminal says. From start to finish
[18:29] <RainCT> storbeck: nope, it hangs if I try to open the video :S
[18:29] <bazhang> !paste
[18:29] <hal_> anyone know how fast ubuntu is spreading in the usa?
[18:30] <burkmat> If I wanted to SSH into a box and play a video in an active gnome session, how would this be done easily?
[18:30] <Ubuntuuu2> storbeck: http://paste.ubuntu.com/124370/
[18:30] <storbeck> !ot | hal_
[18:30] <bazhang> hal_, please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic not here
[18:30] <storbeck> ugh!
[18:30] <hal_> boom!
[18:30] <storbeck> don't use commas. I was doing that for irc
[18:30] <storbeck> Either use a semi-colon or do it on different lines
[18:31] <Ubuntuuu2> WHAT?
[18:31] <storbeck> DON'T USE COMMAS
[18:31] <ColonelJ> ok thanks #ubuntu. bb.  storbeck: neverball works... yay?
[18:31] <Ubuntuuu2> I didn't, I paisted exactly what was in the termina;
[18:31] <green0> to install a working xserver on a minimalist intrepid
[18:31] <green0> do i just need to install the package "hal" ?
[18:32] <storbeck> Ubuntuuu2: copy paste this: sudo mkdir /mnt/home; sudo mount /dev/sda /mnt/home/; sudo chroot /mnt/home
[18:32] <storbeck> (i'm assuming you're using sda)
[18:32] <Ubuntuuu2> storbeck:   No such file or directory
[18:32] <storbeck> Ubuntuuu2: Then you're not using sda
[18:32] <storbeck> What are you using?
[18:32] <defrysk> green0, sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-vesa
[18:33] <Ubuntuuu2> storbeck:  whats that?
[18:33] <storbeck> Your hard drive.
[18:33] <green0> isn't there an official manual for this?
[18:33] <storbeck> !xorg | green0
[18:33] <_VIM_> green0: for what?
[18:34] <green0> > to install a working xserver on a minimalist intrepid
[18:34] <Heme^> hola
[18:34] <Ubuntuuu2> storbeck:  um, would it be a problwm if my live cd is ubuntu 7.10 and my regular ubuntu is 9.04?
[18:34] <green0> i read on a german site that in intrepid i just need hal
[18:34] <storbeck> Ubuntuuu2: No
[18:34] <epitop> I have a question. I added a repository (for scilab actually) but one of the packages keeps showing the version in the official ubuntu repositories instead of in the 3rd party repository I added. I know the package is available because I just tried it on another computer.
[18:34] <todd> hi
[18:34] <storbeck> The problem is, you don't know what kind of hard drive you have
[18:35] <todd> I need help, i want to remove the ubuntu splash scree, i want to see the comand line version like othere distros, is this possible??
[18:35] <storbeck> epitop: comment out the other repositiory in the sources.list
[18:35] <bazhang> Ubuntuuu2, this is jaunty?
[18:35] <Ubuntuuu2> storbeck:  so, there isn't any easier way to edit gdmsetup?
[18:35] <mobodo> I'm on intrepid, is there a simple way to momentarily pretend that I'm on gutsy? I'd like to install a old package from its sources and I need to build its dependencies as they were on gutsy
[18:35] <Ubuntuuu2> bazhang:  ya
[18:35] <bazhang> Ubuntuuu2, wrong channel
[18:35] <epitop> storbeck: the version it keeps showing is from ubuntu official repositories, not a 3rd party
[18:35] <Heme^> my ubuntu installation has failed at 85% several times now, any ideas why?
[18:36] <storbeck> So?
[18:36] <randomwalker> in gnome terminal, what does the option "use keystrokes to scroll on alternate screen" mean?
[18:36] <_VIM_> green0: I guess this is "official" but it's not really a guide, but it might work :)   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=970960
[18:36] <bazhang> Heme^, sounds like a bad burn or a corrupt iso
[18:36] <bazhang> Heme^, check the md5 of the iso first
[18:36] <Ubuntuuu2> Look, all I need to do is make it so my regular installation of ubuntu doesn't autoboot anymore bur do that from the live cd.
[18:36] <bazhang> !md5 | Heme^
[18:36] <bazhang> Ubuntuuu2, #ubuntu+1 not here
[18:36] <storbeck> Ubuntuuu2: You HAVE to chroot and edit your grub entries
[18:37] <Heme^> bazhang, I've tried ubuntu 8.10 and kubuntu 8.10 obviously diff isos, both alternatives
[18:37] <green0> _VIM_, so will gnome also install a working xserver?
[18:37] <Ubuntuuu2> storbeck:  but that doesn't seem to be working
[18:37] <bazhang> Heme^, and you burned them slowly after checking md5 sums and doing integrity checks?
[18:37] <storbeck> Ubuntuuu2: Because you don't know what you're doing
[18:37] <Heme^> bazhang, well no I didnt, but it has worked before :>
[18:37] <Ubuntuuu2> storbeck:  thats true, that why I came here
[18:37] <bo7amny> can i use ubuntu login sound in my projects?
[18:37] <epitop> storbeck: When I comment out multiverse, it no longer even lists the package. hrm.
[18:37] <bazhang> Ubuntuuu2, please take this to the correct channel
[18:38] <storbeck> epitop: Maybe you put in the wrong 3rd party repo then
[18:38] <_VIM_> green0: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop should install a working xserver, from what I've been told anyways
[18:38] <storbeck> epitop: this is prob a stupid question, but you did an apt-get update, right?
[18:38] <epitop> storbeck: it literally just worked on my other ubuntu machine (same version -- 8.04)
[18:38] <epitop> aye
[18:38] <storbeck> Did it give you any errors?
[18:39] <andreic> need some help
[18:39] <Ubuntuuu2> bazhang:  please shut up
[18:39] <andreic> my ubuntu machine does not start
[18:39] <epitop> I've removed and added this repository so many times too to be sure
[18:39] <epitop> storbeck: errors at what point?
[18:39] <green0> _VIM_, i install a minmalist system + X just to NOT have a bloated ubuntu :) (ubuntu-desktop will instal a lot....)
[18:39] <storbeck> When you did an update
[18:39] <andreic> it stucks in loading, please wait..
[18:39] <theCarpenter> i wanted to fool around with packet sniffing so i got an external USB wifi dongle. its detected as usb device, but now i want to set it to eth0 (is that possible?) eth1 is configured out-of-the-box as the builtin wifi device on my laptop
[18:39] <epitop> just gpg key errors i believe
[18:39] <storbeck> Hm
[18:39] <mobodo> if I want to use the packages from a different ubuntu release, all I need to do is change the paths in /etc/apt/sources.list, right?
[18:39] <_VIM_> green0:  fine, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop :P
[18:40] <epitop> Yeah, just gpg key errors
[18:40] <storbeck> send me the repo and package name, I'll try
[18:40] <epitop> It'll work I bet.. works fine on my other computer
[18:40] <bazhang> mobodo, bad idea to mix repos it is not supported and will break things
[18:40] <storbeck> There's only 1 way to find out
[18:40] <erUSUL> theCarpenter: if it is recogniced it will get a iface name automatically such as wlan0 or something like that
[18:40] <epitop> storbeck: http://www.scilab.org/team/sylvestre.ledru/ using that... the packages all work fine but the scilab-bindoes not on this computer
[18:40] <mobodo> bazhang: I know, but I've been trying to install something for three days now and it doesn't work.  and I had it working on gutsy
[18:40] <kriscolt> i just grabbed synergy from apt... but not sure where it went...
[18:40] <kriscolt> any ideas???
[18:41] <epitop> err storbeck are you 32 or 64 bit?
[18:41] <mobodo> bazhang: it's pretty much my last option
[18:41] <_VIM_> green0: other than that, im out of solutions,,,unless I cheat and start using google for all your answers, which we'd be here all day in that case ;)
[18:41] <epitop> I just realized that this laptop is 64 and the desktop was 32
[18:41] <epitop> perhaps he errored and for some reason the package for 64 for scilab-bin is absent
[18:41] <bballplaya344> Has anyone ran ubuntu on the HP 2140 mini?
[18:42] <storbeck> epitop: W: Failed to fetch http://www.scilab.org/team/sylvestre.ledru/./Packages.gz  404 Not Found
[18:42] <anatashinu> hey, can somebody tell me how to get large files from one machine to another easily? I was thinking ftp, but that didn't work quite right.
[18:42] <theCarpenter> anatashinu: scp
[18:42] <theCarpenter> anatashinu: or hard drive :)
[18:42] <anatashinu> scp?
[18:42] <_VIM_> unison maybe
[18:42] <theCarpenter> anatashinu: or rsync
[18:42] <epitop> storbeck: err, i don't get that. I can see everything just not the scilab-bin package on amd64. I'm starting to thim he omitted it.
[18:42] <anatashinu> wats that
[18:43] <racecar56> does anybody know the lightest fastest window manager ever that supports desktop icons?
[18:43] <racecar56> and is in the repos
[18:43] <theCarpenter> anatashinu: just google them, it'll get you started. they're all meant for transferring large files
[18:43] <bazhang> lxde racecar56
[18:43] <anatashinu> ok
[18:43] <anatashinu> thnx
[18:43] <theCarpenter> anatashinu: sure
[18:43] <Dekkard> vould try lxde
[18:43] <_VIM_> racecar56:  omg bazhang beat me to it
[18:43] <usser> racecar56, i agree lxde is absolutely awesome
[18:43]  * _VIM_ fails at typing fast today
[18:43] <racecar56> ok
[18:43] <racecar56> hi vim
[18:43] <_VIM_> hiya :)
[18:43] <storbeck> epitop: http://pastebin.com/d76b082a4
[18:44] <storbeck> Is that what you get?
[18:44] <oliver3> Okay people, I just finished building my new PC, and I'm trying to decide whether to use the 64bit version of 8.10 or 32bit. I'm installing a total of 4gigs RAM, so will need 64bit for that, but can I still run 32bit software in the 64bit version, especially Windows software via wine?
[18:44] <racecar56> ive used lxde before (i found out about it when i got a knoppix 6.0.1 live cd)
[18:44] <racecar56> yeah it is cool
[18:44] <meho_r> oliver3: yes, you can
[18:44] <storbeck> oliver3: Do you have a 64bit arch?
[18:44] <oliver3> storbeck, core 2 quad ;)
[18:45] <storbeck> w00t
[18:45]  * oliver3 whacks weedwacker 
[18:45] <storbeck> Go for the 64bit
[18:45] <Heme^> bazhang, md5 at least is correct
[18:45] <oliver3> storbeck, ya
[18:45] <oliver3> yay
[18:45]  * oliver3 downloads
[18:45] <FloodBot2> oliver3: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:45] <anatashinu> so how do I use scp?
[18:45] <oliver3> <_<
[18:45] <bazhang> Heme^, you may wish to check bootoptions
[18:45] <epitop> storbeck: that doesn't say what version it is, try doing an apt-cache show scilab-bin and check the version please
[18:45] <anatashinu> like scp 192.168.2.3?
[18:45] <bazhang> !bootoptions | Heme^
[18:46] <storbeck> anatashinu: scp user@server:/your/path/file /your/new/directory
[18:46] <epitop> storbeck: and are you on i386 or amd64?
[18:46] <meho_r> oliver3: I ran some games (Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcase was the last one). No problem at all.
[18:46] <anatashinu> soo
[18:46] <Heme^> aight bazhang
[18:46] <anatashinu> scp anatashinu@192.168.2.3:/home/anatashinu/Desktop
[18:46] <diego_> hola
[18:46] <anatashinu> like that?
[18:46] <storbeck> Version: 4.1.2-5
[18:46] <diego_> hello
[18:46] <bazhang> !es
[18:46] <diego_> can someone hellp me with synaptic?
[18:46] <oliver3> meho_r, if I'm honest, I wanted to install Windows for games. But when I tried there was either something up with the discs, or something up with my optical drive, and it kept erroring out at the "copying files", stage. :'(
[18:47] <storbeck> anatashinu: after Desktop, put a space, then where you want the file to go on your local computer
[18:47] <epitop> storbeck: that's the one available in multiverse, not from the repos that sylvestre is supporting
[18:47] <diego_> my synaptic is only searching in the packages i allready have
[18:47] <anatashinu> hmm
[18:47] <anatashinu> so
[18:47] <diego_> do u know why?
[18:47] <storbeck> scp anatashinu@192.168.2.3:/home/anatashinu/Desktop /home/myotheruser/Desktop
[18:47] <anatashinu> that would transfer my desktop to other computer?
[18:47] <meho_r> oliver3: I have Win for games too. Check your CD disk for scratches
[18:47] <storbeck> epitop: Then it looks like it's a repo problem :)
[18:48] <oliver3> meho_r, eventually settled to install Ubuntu from an old 6.04 disc, now I'm downloading 8.10 for a fresh install of that.
[18:48] <oliver3> meho_r, used 3 different discs for XP, one for Vista, all failed.
[18:48] <epitop> storbeck: blah! thanks for testing and helping me
[18:48] <epitop> i appreciate it
[18:48] <storbeck> np
[18:48] <nicholashubbard> can someone point me in the direction of a program can execute a command when a cd/dvd is automatically inserted
[18:48] <oliver3> oh damn he left, I was starting to like that guy too
[18:48] <oliver3> oh yay
[18:48] <oliver3> wb meho_r
[18:50] <meho_r> oliver3, strange. Then it's maybe your CD/DVD drive.
[18:50] <oliver3> nicholashubbard, automatically inserted by what?
[18:50] <mykz> hey could anyone help me with this problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6814693#post6814693
[18:50] <anatashinu> so I would say this?
[18:50] <anatashinu> scp anatashinu@192.168.2.3:/home/anatashinu/Desktop
[18:50] <nicholashubbard> oliver3: a person puts the cd in
[18:50] <anatashinu> oops
[18:50] <storbeck> anatashinu: no
[18:50] <oliver3> meho_r, yeah I thought that. I installed an old PATA drive to test, but that one just went so slow I gave up. It performed slower than in the old box! Oddness.
[18:50] <anatashinu> scp anatashinu@192.168.2.3:/home/anatashnu/Desktop/test /home/anatashinu/Desktop/test
[18:50] <meho_r> oliver3. Indeed :(
[18:50] <anatashinu> that?
[18:50] <oliver3> nicholashubbard, you might wanna look into HAL, maybe there is something in System -> Preferences too.
[18:51] <storbeck> anatashinu: Yep
[18:51] <anatashinu> or without test at end?
[18:51] <bo7amny> can i use ubuntu login sound in my projects?
[18:51] <bo7amny> is it free?
[18:51] <nicholashubbard> oliver3: im using ubuntu server edition with no gui
[18:51] <anatashinu> ssh: connect to host 192.168.2.3 port 22: Connection refused
[18:52] <lokpest> Hi, what software is used for Ubuntu Brainstorm? Is that some kind of distributed free software?
[18:52] <storbeck> anatashinu: Either sshd isn't running, or your router is blocking it
[18:52] <nightrid3r> bo7amny: probably yes but best to contact canonical and ask
[18:52] <oliver3> nicholashubbard, oic, I can't help then sorry.
[18:52] <theCarpenter> anyone have any success configuring ubuntu as a router?
[18:52] <OrEvA> Can anyone tell me the command to make gdm as default display manager... currently i have kdm as my default display manager
[18:52] <anatashinu> should i type sshd?
[18:52] <bo7amny> ok thanks
[18:52] <n8tuserf> nicholashubbard -> look into event  ; supposedly newer linux is migrating to these but have not quite polished the setup yet
[18:52] <storbeck> anatashinu: On the server you're trying to connect to: /etc/init.d/ssh start
[18:53] <anatashinu> ok
[18:53] <nicholashubbard> n8tuserf: thanks

[19:01] <mykz> 8.04,8.10
[19:01] <jtaji> anatashinu: yes with the -r option
[19:01] <mykz> both alt disk and live
[19:01] <mykz> and mini version
[19:01] <anatashinu> -r is for folders?
[19:01] <mykz> all do the same
[19:01] <anatashinu> thanks
[19:01] <storbeck> Ubuntuuu2: I already told you how to fix it. Do not repeat the same questions
[19:02] <Ubuntuuu2> arvind_khadri:  as in it gets past the loading screen then the screen is black and I can only move the cursor
[19:02] <bruce89> I'm from ubuntu+1
[19:02] <mykz> i just really don't understand why it wont install
[19:02] <bruce89> and this is unreasonable
[19:02] <oCean_> !dualhead | homeskill
[19:02] <mykz> been playing with it all day :(
[19:02] <storbeck> mykz: Maybe your cdrom drive is bad
[19:02] <gmap> can apache play sound?
[19:02] <Ubuntuuu2> arvind_khadri:  and the last thing I changed befor I rebooted and had the problem was the auto login
[19:02] <storbeck> gmap: ...
[19:02] <simplex> Is there a version of ubuntu that works on the old iBooks?
[19:02] <user___> gmap: no
[19:02] <mykz> storbeck i get the same using penstick version
[19:03] <meho_r> mykz: I had same problem when I tried to install 32bit Ubuntu on amd64. pci=noacpi solved it though
[19:03] <homeskill> !Xinerama
[19:03] <gmap> storbeck im trying to play sound with php sing exec("aplay somefile.wav"); it works with php cli but not in the browser
[19:03] <arvind_khadri> Ubuntuuu2, which ubuntu ?? and i guess storbeck had solved your issue ?
[19:03] <gmap> so its gota be some kind of user permission
[19:03] <storbeck> gmap: That's not how you do it
[19:03] <OrEvA> storbeck : what do i do now
[19:03] <user___> gmap: it plays on the ser machine, never on the client
[19:03] <IntuitiveNipple> homeskill: Does the laptop use an Nvidia video chip-set? If so, the nvidia-settings utility can configure the dual monitors for you.
[19:03] <Ubuntuuu2> umm
[19:03] <storbeck> OrEvA: change it to the new login manager
[19:03] <gmap> no
[19:03] <gmap> im on localhost
[19:03] <Ubuntuuu2> Ubuntu 8
[19:03] <nivalis> !xrandr
[19:04] <Ubuntuuu2> =D
[19:04] <storbeck> gmap: It doesn't matter
[19:04] <kriscolt> grr... mp3's don't work
[19:04] <simplex> is there a ppc version of ubuntu
[19:04] <mykz> i guess i should give up :(
[19:04] <storbeck> !ppc
[19:04] <oCean_> simplex: not anymore
[19:04] <kriscolt> anyone know what libs/codecs are out there
[19:04] <gmap> storbeck, the browser is the same machine as the host
[19:04] <storbeck> gmap: It doesn't matter
[19:04] <arvind_khadri> Ubuntuuu2, ubuntu 8 doesnt mean anything.
[19:04] <simplex> ocean_: is there an older one?
[19:04] <gmap> storebeck so what can i do to accomplish this?
[19:04] <oCean_> !ppc | simplex
[19:04] <OrEvA> storbeck : how
[19:04] <storbeck> gmap: check with #apache for more info
[19:04] <user___> kriscolt: apt-cache search codec
[19:04] <meho_r> mykz: maybe someone on ubuntuforums will answer. Be patient
[19:04] <TMN> will xinerama let me use two monitors with different resolution (ati proprietary)
[19:05] <storbeck> OrEvA: how what?
[19:05] <simplex> ocean_: it didnt work
[19:05] <brett_h> is there a proper way to edit sudoers non-interactively?  I want a provisioning script to change the file, visudo won't do
[19:05] <Ubuntuuu2> arvind_khadri:  what does it matter which ubuntu?
[19:05] <anatashinu> what do i do with scp for directories with spaces?
[19:05] <mykz> ok thanks meho_r
[19:05] <homeskill> IntuitiveNipple yeah it's an nvidia geforce 6150 LE
[19:05] <kriscolt> simplex: i'm running ppc ubuntu
[19:05] <mykz> i'm going to maybe give it another go in a min
[19:05] <arvind_khadri> Ubuntuuu2, sorry i dont know about your problem
[19:05] <storbeck> anatashinu: file\ with\ space.txt
[19:05] <meho_r> mykz: sorry for not being of much help
[19:05] <anatashinu> ok
[19:05] <simplex> kriscolt: cool! could you give me a link?
[19:05] <Ubuntuuu2> arvind_khadri:  ok, its ubuntu 7.10
[19:05] <OrEvA> storbeck : how do i chane it do new login manager
[19:06] <storbeck> OrEvA: you type in the new path with your keyboard
[19:06] <IntuitiveNipple> homeskill: Try Applications > System Tools > NVIDIA X Server Settings. If it doesn't exist, install the nvidia-settings package and try again
[19:07] <dustin> hey, does anyone know why when I go to hardware drivers and try to activate my nvidia graphics driver it opens up and shows downloading and installing 0% then disappears instantly?  i cant get my nvidia driver installed D:

[19:07] <JanKunder> Hi. Is in 8.10 something like inittab in Lenny? Is possible to boot in CLI in 8.10? How?
[19:08] <storbeck> JanKunder: Yes @ your second question
[19:08] <wizz3> hi, does anyone know how i change the permissions for my external hdd so it works with users and not just with root (im using ubuntu 8.10)?
[19:08] <storbeck> Remove all display managers you have installed
[19:09] <f0urtyfive> hrmmmm... My windows in ubuntu have no borders
[19:09] <f0urtyfive> and I cant resize or move them...
[19:09] <storbeck> wizz3: sudo chown -R youruser /mnt/externalhdd/
[19:09] <storbeck> f0urtyfive: type in a terminal: metacity --replace
[19:09] <user___> wizz3: for a permanent solution: man fstab
[19:10] <oCean_> wizz3: if external hdd is ntfs, use umask option in fstab
[19:10] <mykz> yay i have a reply on the forums :)
[19:11] <wizz3> storbeck: how do i see what to write in "external hdd" ?
[19:11] <Hell-Razor> all i have to say is ubuntu sucks, it shouldnt be called linux
[19:11] <shminux> how do I apt-get from a specific location?
[19:11] <MindVirus> When will I have Python 2.6?
[19:11] <Hell-Razor> it should be called a piece of shit operating system
[19:11] <giovani> Hell-Razor: stop trolling, and leave
[19:11] <felixclase> hola idiotas
[19:11] <storbeck> wizz3: ls /mnt
[19:11] <user___> Hell-Razor: shut up
[19:11] <JanKunder> storbeck, but how can I boot into CLI if I have Ubuntu with Gnome, not server version? There is no inittab ..
[19:12] <JanKunder> storbeck, anyway, ty for giving me hope :)
[19:12] <felixclase> saben español putos american
[19:12] <storbeck> JanKunder: sudo echo "" > /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[19:12] <magcius> Dammit... who gave me that MIDI page?
[19:12] <storbeck> I did
[19:12] <JanKunder> storbeck, many thanks
[19:12] <storbeck> np JanKunder
[19:12] <MindVirus> When will Python 2.6 exist in the repositories?
[19:12] <giovani> JanKunder: inittab was replaced by upstart -- go into /etc/event.d/
[19:12] <magcius> storbeck: I ran qsynth, and it froze my computer.
[19:12] <wizz3> storbeck: hmmm... no such file or directory
[19:12] <magcius> storbeck: supposedly it was looking for ALSA. I'm running OSS4.
[19:13] <JanKunder> giovani, I'll try, ty
[19:13] <shminux> how do I apt-get from a specific location?
[19:13] <f0urtyfive> storbeck: Thnx, metacity was missing, apt-get install and the --repace fixed it.
[19:13] <giovani> shminux: you change your apt sources?
[19:13] <panesar_sandeep_> mykz, hw much is your ram
[19:13] <storbeck> np f0urtyfive
[19:13] <magcius> storbeck: I had to restart right now.
[19:13] <storbeck> wizz3: maybe check /media
[19:13] <shminux> no way to give the path on command line?
[19:13] <homeskill> IntuitiveNipple do i have to plug the second monitor in first, or after i install the drivers?
[19:13] <storbeck> glad it's fixed, magcius
[19:13] <magcius> storbeck: it's not fixed. I still can't listen to MIDI.
[19:14] <storbeck> oh
[19:14] <invisibleninja> When I click on Windows Network, I am getting "failed to retrieve list from server". What could be the cause? Using Intrepid Ibex.
[19:14] <mobodo> changing my sources.list back to hardy/gutsy didn't make it :-/ I guess I'm not supposed to use older packages with a newer ubuntu
[19:14] <mykz> panesar_sandeep_ my ram is 1 Gig
[19:14] <magcius> storbeck: the program made the OS unresponsive. Neither Ctrl+Alt+Backspace nor Ctrl+Alt+1 worked.
[19:14] <IntuitiveNipple> homeskill: Assuming you're already using the Nvidia proprietary driver, as long as the monitor is connected before you try to log-in (when GDM/KDM starts) the monitor will be detected and you can configure it once logged in
[19:14] <magcius> err... s/1/F1
[19:14] <giovani> shminux: nope, that's not how apt works -- you're not downloading a single file, you'll downloading lots of metadata from the repository ahead of time
[19:14] <storbeck> Weird, sorry magcius
[19:15] <homeskill> IntuitiveNipple thanks
[19:15] <mykz> i'm just doing a md5 thing now :)
[19:15] <storbeck> I've never had any issues with midi, so I can't help. I only know that there is a !midi command for ubottu :)
[19:15] <shminux> now I miss windows... just d/l and double-click
[19:15] <invisibleninja> hello anyone?
[19:15] <wizz3> storbeck: ok, tried it , now it says "Mount is denied because setuid and setgid root ntfs-3g is insecure with the
[19:15] <wizz3> external FUSE library"
[19:15] <shminux> oh well
[19:15] <Ubuntuuu2> invisibleninja:  Hi someone
[19:15] <storbeck> Nice
[19:16] <storbeck> wizz3: refer to the fstab suggestions earlier
[19:16] <invisibleninja> any explanation for "failed to retrieve list from server" on clicking Windows Network?
[19:16] <wizz3> !fstab
[19:16] <panesar_sandeep_> mykz, i had a same prob a few months back, there was a prob with my CD, have you checked the installation media for error???
[19:16] <sdf2> anybody have any guide, how to set up an usb soundcard to work with ubuntu 8.10?
[19:16] <storbeck> invisibleninja: the server might be down
[19:16] <storbeck> sdf2: asoundconf
[19:16] <sdf2> 9 hours of messing and its still not working as i want
[19:17] <sdf2> when i try asoundconf list
[19:17] <sdf2> it does not list my usb soundcard
[19:17] <olmari> Okay I have an problem with jaunty netboot installation
[19:17] <porter1> Anyone know howI force ld to search blib32 for libraries?
[19:17] <porter1> lib32*
[19:17] <storbeck> olmari: This isn't the correct room for jaunty
[19:17] <oCean_> olmari: join #ubuntu+1
[19:17] <ar3ac> buona sera
[19:17] <user___> sdf2: you could pastebin your dmesg and we have a look at it
[19:17] <porter1> Instead of using just /usr/lib
[19:17] <storbeck> Pastin your lspci as well
[19:18] <storbeck> lscpi *
[19:18] <panesar_sandeep_> mykz, there is an option to check cd for defects in the boot menu, try that
[19:18] <wizz3> storbeck: how long ago was this fstab discussion, ?
[19:18] <storbeck> oops, it was lspci. hehe
[19:18] <storbeck> wizz3: sudo chown -R youruser /mnt/externalhdd/
[19:18] <storbeck> ehh. disregard that ^
[19:18] <oshua86> hello guys, do you guys know if there is a channel for IRSSI?

[19:19] <mykz> i've tried that
[19:19] <mykz> just black screens

[19:23] <hunt577> I am a newbie to Ubuntu, have always had Windows.  I just got an Acer Aspire 6930 laptop, first time on Vista and its just too clunky and it bogs down this nice lap top so I want to try Ubuntu, but I want to try it without erasing Vista incase I need to get it back
[19:23] <LjL> simion314: nfs is an option
[19:23] <mykz> panesar_sandeep_ i've at this all day sat in the efnet channel
[19:23] <LjL> !nfs > simion314    (simion314, see the private message from ubottu)
[19:23] <mykz> until i tried here
[19:23] <LjL> simion314: samba is another option although it's mostly made to talk to windows computers (/msg ubottu samba)
[19:23] <eseven73> !wubi | hunt577
[19:23] <panesar_sandeep_> !efnet
[19:23] <homeskill> IntuitiveNipple i apt-get installed nvidia-settings but it's still not showing in applicaitons->system tools
[19:24] <hunt577> thank you ubottu
[19:24] <LjL> simion314: but anyway i do believe - although i don't use GNOME so i don't really know - that there's something about it either in the preferences, or when you right click and hit Proprieties on a directory
[19:24] <ActionParsnip1> homeskill: run it with: gksudo nvidia-settings
[19:24] <mykz> panesar_sandeep efnet is like freenode :P
[19:24] <mykz> just an irc network
[19:24] <chazco> Hi... is there a remote desktop style system for Ubuntu? ie, allows full screen resolution of the desktop. Tried VNC (no fullscreen) and SSH with X tunneling (only one application at a time). Any suggestions?
[19:24] <IntuitiveNipple> homeskill: Hmmm... try launching it via Alt+F2 and then "gksudo nvidia-settings"
[19:24] <sdf2> actually i did dmesg in terminal
[19:24] <sdf2> anc can't see more
[19:24] <hunt577> ubottu I already burned the ubuntu image onto a CD-R but not sure how to get in BIOS to install it
[19:25] <hunt577> I hit F1 when my computer it takes me to a screen but says nothing about ubuntu
[19:25] <hunt577> starts*
[19:25] <simion314> LjL, if i go to network i see only windows network, do i need to start  samba manualy in the other computer? i can acces windows but not ubuntu
[19:25] <eseven73> chazco: tightvncviewer should have full screen
[19:25] <chazco> homeskill - nvidia-xsettings should be under System->Administration i think (not apps->system tools)
[19:25] <ActionParsnip1> hunt577: read the screen after reboot, you need to enter setup, try del, f10 anf f1
[19:25] <oCean_> !xdmcp | chazco
[19:25] <homeskill> IntuitiveNipple ok i ran it and it says 'you dont appear to be using the nvidia x driver. please edit yoru x config file and restart the x server'
[19:25] <sdf2> actually my actual problem is that i can't make teamspeak(oss) play sound with alsa-oss wrapper
[19:26] <guntbert> eseven73: why do you recommend wubi instead of a live CD?
[19:26] <oCean_> chazco: and also: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty/RemoteAccess#Remote_Login_via_XDMCP
[19:26] <panesar_sandeep_> mykz, the live cd installer can complete the process in less than fifteen minutes. It does this by copying the installed system from the cd to the target partition on the disk.That’s an order of magnitude faster than the alternate installer.The alternate installer installs each package individually and usually takes about forty or fifty minutes longer than the live cd installer. Sure the...
[19:26] <panesar_sandeep_> ...live cd take a minute or two longer to boot, but it still comes out to being way faster using the live cd.
[19:26] <chazco> oCean & eseven73 - Thanks, will look into them :)
[19:26] <satch5150> hi all - I can't seem to update my fiesty server (no X11 on it btw) - keep getting 404 not found errors no matter what mirrors i use
[19:26] <eseven73> thats a very good question guntbert, i just woke up , good catch :)
[19:27] <eseven73> you're welcome chazco
[19:27] <user___> sdf2: hmm, l210, but no clue if its relevant or how it could be fixed
[19:27] <LjL> simion314: yeah, you have to do stuff on the serving computer... let me try to look it up
[19:27] <sdf2> :(
[19:27] <satch5150> anyone have any suggestions ?
[19:27] <homeskill> chazco you're right, it's under system->administration->NVIDIA X Server Settings
[19:27] <MightyTweek> hunt577: If you're using Wubi you don't need to boot from the CD, just insert it while Windows is running and it should let you run the installer
[19:27] <guntbert> eseven73: ;-)
[19:27] <oCean_> satch5150: are you using the old-releases repos?
[19:27] <eseven73> no dont use wubi, guntbert is correct get a live cd
[19:27] <IntuitiveNipple> homeskill: Ahhh, you haven't installed the Nvidia proprietary driver. You need to install it from the Restricted Drivers manager
[19:28] <sdf2> and i installed like 80+ packages for nothing
[19:28] <mykz> panesar_sandeep_ i have tried the live cd same problem
[19:28] <sdf2> makes me sick
[19:28] <satch5150> I guess I was, but I tried the mirrors from internode i believe it was
[19:28] <satch5150> same thing
[19:28] <panesar_sandeep_> satch5150, try pinging to the server, 404 is usually a host not found error
[19:28] <oshua86> .
[19:29] <panesar_sandeep_> mykz, hmmm
[19:29] <user___> sdf2: have you worked through http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=faq&cat=client&rate=47#howto_fix_alsa_problems
[19:29] <mykz> reason why i used the alt disk
[19:29] <satch5150> they ping
[19:29] <satch5150> 91.189.88.31
[19:29] <guntbert> panesar_sandeep: 404 is "not found on this server"
[19:29] <eseven73> ok i got a question of my own, Im looking for a good backup system that can create compressed archives and automatically burn them to DVD, so far ive only found solutions for backing up to another hdd or tape...
[19:30] <oCean_> satch5150: is that old-releases repo?
[19:30] <satch5150> that one is, yea
[19:30] <Tetracomm> Hello.
[19:30] <storbeck> eseven73: It's not hard to write a script to do that
[19:30] <LjL> simion314: ok, it should be like this: install the "samba" package first (sudo apt-get install samba), then right click on a folder that you want to share, and select "Sharing options". it should be straightforward from then on
[19:30] <eseven73> storbeck: im not a scripter
[19:30] <storbeck> eseven73: Give me a few minutes and I'll write one for you
[19:30] <Tetracomm> How can I control the voltage of my serial port? If I can't control the serial port voltage, then how do I control my parallel port voltage? (or amperage, whatever)
[19:30] <storbeck> What do you want to backup?
[19:30] <panesar_sandeep> guntbert, sorry, meant same thing but wasn't precise, sorry
[19:30] <eseven73> storbeck:  /home and /root
[19:31] <satch5150> ok, so, where can I get a list of mirrors, or a complete sources.list file, known to work ?
[19:31] <oCean_> satch5150: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades
[19:31] <ActionParsnip1> eseven73: all youd do is run the backup app to create the file, then the next line would be to burn the cd
[19:31] <mykz> right time for some beers
[19:31] <user___> Tetracomm: also try #debian and #linux (dont mention ubuntu at first hand ..)
[19:31] <mykz> thanks for all the help guys
[19:31] <Tetracomm> Ok.
[19:31] <oCean_> satch5150: there's the working sources.list
[19:31] <homeskill> how do you restart the x server? ctrl+alt+backspace?
[19:31] <eseven73> ActionParsnip1: assuming i can script
[19:31] <panesar_sandeep> mykz, is your prob solved??
[19:31] <satch5150> oCean_: Gutsy though ?
[19:31] <ActionParsnip1> eseven73: can you use terminal?
[19:32] <mykz> <panesar_sandeep nope
[19:32] <satch5150> not that I wouldn't love to upgrade, I would
[19:32] <mykz> i'm close to giving up
[19:32] <eseven73> I would hope so ActionParsnip1 ;)
[19:32] <storbeck> ok eseven73, give me a few minutes
[19:32] <oCean_> satch5150: you have to go through gutsy
[19:32] <satch5150> to intrepid in fave
[19:32] <ActionParsnip1> eseven73: then you can script
[19:32] <satch5150> fact
[19:32] <eseven73> storbeck:  ok
[19:32] <panesar_sandeep> mykz, don't worry, m still workin on it, u go n hv your beer...
[19:32] <oCean_> !feisty | satch5150
[19:32] <eseven73> ActionParsnip1: bah that's not very helpful advice :(
[19:32] <oCean_> satch5150: meaning, you *have* to upgrade
[19:32] <mykz> panesar_sandeep just post to my thread if you work anything out
[19:32] <ActionParsnip1> eseven73: create a text file with   #!/bin/bash      at the top, then type a list of commands to execute like a program.
[19:33] <mykz> and big thanks for help dude
[19:33] <dopplerdeffect> Is there a way to set up my .ssh/config file to execute a command on the remote machine on connect? (I found LocalCommand in the documentation but no mention of remote)
[19:33] <ActionParsnip1> eseven73: then chmod +x the fileand it is a script
[19:33] <panesar_sandeep> mykz, okay
[19:33] <satch5150> ok, so upgrading is just a matter of getting the sources.list from whatever distro I want to upgrade to ?
[19:33] <ActionParsnip1> eseven73: thats literally all thereis to it
[19:33] <eseven73> ActionParsnip1: ok so what would be the command to put the tar on a dvd?
[19:33] <Sarge_TJ> Hey, anyone familiar with mySQL? I'm just wondering which packages i need to install to get mySQL up and running?
[19:34] <LjL> Sarge_TJ: mysql-server and quite possibly mysql-client would be a good start
[19:34] <oCean_> Sarge_TJ: "sudo apt-get install mysql-server" . Done
[19:34] <LjL> !lamp > Sarge_TJ    (Sarge_TJ, see the private message from ubottu)
[19:35] <ActionParsnip1> eseven73: create an iso of the file and you can use cdrecord which will burn a cd at command line
[19:35] <braddcadd> anyone know the latest on any "netflix watch now" hacks
[19:35] <homeskill> how can i tell if i'm using the nvidia proprietary driver?

[19:35] <syntropy> how can i get this tutorial to work? http://tinyurl.com/csq2uq
[19:35] <Sarge_TJ> Allright, thanks guys. I first tried installing only the mysql-client, and it didn't obviously work that well...
[19:35] <eseven73> ActionParsnip1: will that burn DVD?
[19:35] <ActionParsnip1> syntropy: what does that have to do with ubuntu?

[19:37] <syntropy> it's boring here
[19:37] <eseven73> luckly i use NoScript, so i didnt get rick rolled :P
[19:37] <ActionParsnip1> syntropy: take it to offtopic then, this is a support channel

[19:38] <Xonnie316> i need help
[19:38] <ActionParsnip1> !hi | Xonnie316
[19:38] <ActionParsnip1> Xonnie316: wassup
[19:38] <Xonnie316> just installed ubuntu for the 1st time
[19:38] <ActionParsnip1> Xonnie316: ask the room and it will reply
[19:39] <dn5a-b> user___: i'll try. Thank you.
[19:39] <Xonnie316> and i want to know if i didn't lose my windows vista
[19:39] <Xonnie316> because i can't access the C:/ folder through Ubuntu
[19:39] <Xonnie316> when I installed it, i chose the first partition, not manual
[19:39] <ActionParsnip1> Xonnie316: run sudo fdisk -l    if you see an ntfs partition then most likely vista will still be on there
[19:39] <ActionParsnip1> Xonnie316: oh, thats not sounding great
[19:39] <homeskill> IntuitiveNipple i went there but it just says 'no proprietary drivers are in use on this system'
[19:40] <Xonnie316> where do i do the run sudo fdisk -|
[19:40] <ActionParsnip1> Xonnie316: in terminal
[19:40] <Xonnie316> new to ubuntu
[19:40] <ActionParsnip1> !terminal | Xonnie316
[19:40] <satch5150> thanks everyone
[19:40] <homeskill> IntuitiveNipple but it's not shwoing me a list of drivers to install either
[19:40] <ActionParsnip1> homeskill: what does lspci | grep -i vga say?
[19:40] <Xonnie316> so is it just "run sudo fdisk"
[19:41] <Xonnie316> or "run sudo fdisk -|"
[19:41] <ActionParsnip1> Xonnie316: without the word run
[19:41] <IntuitiveNipple> homeskill: You maybe need to enable the Restricted drivers repository. System > Administration > Software Sources
[19:41] <homeskill> ActionParsnip1 that says '00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

[19:41] <PC_Nerd> ?
[19:41] <dn5a-b> eseven73: i'm not sure whether we're talking bout the same thing. I have dictionary on my toolbar, but i have to turn it on and then copy paste the word. In googlizer, i can just mark any text and click on it, and it'll conduct automatic search that's so unbelievably time saving, i'd say the best tool ever. I need dictionary-one, where i could just mark the text and click on it, and it will show definition right away.
[19:41] <ActionParsnip1> Xonnie316: you can copy / paste to the terminal
[19:42] <eseven73> dn5a-b:  ok then try google desktop then
[19:42] <Xonnie316> sudo fdisk -|
[19:42] <PC_Nerd> * and rythmbox had the same isssue
[19:43] <Xonnie316> oh ok now it brings up a list of directories

[19:43] <ActionParsnip1> Xonnie316: sudo fdisk minus ell
[19:43] <ActionParsnip1> Xonnie316: thats how its said
[19:44] <ActionParsnip1> Xonnie316: it will show you your partitions
[19:44] <homeskill> ActionParsnip1 cra i thought it was nvidia, im thinkin of my other computer :(

[19:45] <sirjoebob> hey all. i was wondering if anyone knew how to make mono stop asking for default keyring password whenever I log in?
[19:45] <ActionParsnip1> homeskill: yep, lspci will telll you what is in the pc
[19:45] <storbeck> That's not tested, but it should work
[19:45] <storbeck> You'll need to install dvdrecord if you don't have it already

[19:45] <Xonnie316> /dev/sda2
[19:45] <Xonnie316> /dev/sda5

[19:46] <storbeck> it needs work, 1 sec
[19:46] <pjsturgeon> Wake on Lan is failing. I have the computer fully off and try to use a mac client i know to work on other machines (have tried onprevious home networks) and this machine does not wake. I have run ethtool and my mobo supports it, i have even set the enable command to run on boot and have checked it is always enabled
[19:46] <IntuitiveNipple> homeskill: :D
[19:46] <pjsturgeon> where am i going wrong?

[19:47] <IntuitiveNipple> pjsturgeon: I've seem some bugs recently with WoL getting disabled at halt.
[19:47] <_VIM_> storbeck: ok ty (im eseven73)
[19:47] <felixsulla> sirjoebob: FireFox is already the default there
[19:47] <storbeck> ah ok
[19:47] <TuxMan1> If I have a source program , which I ran configure & make for it , and I want to erase all the objects which 'make' created , how do I delete all the things that 'make' created??
[19:47] <storbeck> it may need some tweaking, but it should work
[19:47] <pjsturgeon>  IntuitiveNipple disabled at halt?
[19:48] <sirjoebob> felixsulla: you can change it to whatever program you want
[19:48] <felixsulla> I want it to be Firefox, but under Konversation it loads Opera :/
[19:48] <IntuitiveNipple> pjsturgeon: Yes, let me find the bug. It may have been specific to Jaunty but I'm pretty sure it was more widespread
[19:48] <otacon> hey guys, i need help concerning the command line for application installation (compile-link) thing, i dont wanna use the application manager anymore !! I have a tar ball extracted to desktop in a directorie
[19:48] <hewb> part
[19:48] <pjsturgeon> im on interpeid, but who knows
[19:48] <pjsturgeon> intrepid* :$
[19:49] <ActionParsnip1> otacon: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[19:49] <otacon> ActionParsnip1:: whats this ?
[19:49] <felixsulla> I'm curious about Tuxmans question, too, how do you remove what make makes?
[19:50] <ActionParsnip1> otacon: if you are compiling, you need a compiler + libs
[19:50] <storbeck> make uninstall
[19:50] <otacon> ok!
[19:50] <otacon> and then the make would work properly ?
[19:50] <storbeck> it should
[19:51] <ActionParsnip1> o!pase
[19:51] <ActionParsnip1> !paste
[19:51] <guntbert> TuxMan1: that is not an ubuntu support question exactly :)
[19:51] <sdf2> is there any way to disable an integrated soundcard in a laptop?
[19:52] <otacon> ActionParsnip1: got it, now i have my directory on my desktop. what should I do to install it, when i type make, it gets pretty confusing
[19:52] <ActionParsnip1> otacon: read the readme and install files
[19:52] <sdf2> actually i don't see any options in bios
[19:52] <sdf2> to disable it
[19:52] <storbeck> sdf2: disable the module in the kernel
[19:53] <otacon> ActionParsnip1: where did it go actually...
[19:53] <sdf2> how?
[19:54] <storbeck> sdf2: That's a little too complex to get into via irc
[19:54] <user___> sdf2: you need to "blacklist" the kernel module
[19:54] <otacon> 
[19:54] <DIFH-iceroot> sdf2: disable the soundcard in the bios is the easiest way
[19:54] <IntuitiveNipple> pjsturgeon: See https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.searchtext=wake+on+lan&orderby=-importance&search=Search&field.status%3Alist=NEW&field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITH_RESPONSE&field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITHOUT_RESPONSE&field.status%3Alist=CONFIRMED&field.status%3Alist=TRIAGED&field.status%3Alist=INPROGRESS&field.status%3Alist=FIXCOMMITTED&field.assignee=&field.bug_reporter=&field.omit_dupes=on&field.has_patch=&field.has_

[19:55] <IntuitiveNipple> pjsturgeon: I *think* (but am not sure) that #324295 might be what I noticed
[19:55] <user___> sdf2: maybe ask in #hardware or a channel like that
[19:55] <storbeck> satch5150: What are you upgrading to?
[19:55] <ActionParsnip1> otacon: where did what go?
[19:56] <sdf2> nah i simply go and reinstall my ubuntu

[19:56] <user___> sdf2: :-)
[19:56] <akuarius> ciao a tutti
[19:56] <otacon> ActionParsnip1: when i install the install-essential pack i dont know where it went. like by default where should it go so i can i find it and read the read me file...
[19:56] <otacon> lol
[19:56] <sdf2> i went into a bounch of unknown pulse audio package installing deadzone to my head

[20:05] <EDinNY> I seem to be having update problems.  I tried googleing but can't find the answer.  It says "Not all updates can be installed"
[20:05] <satch5150> yea, that's the page i've been following
[20:05] <Guest88690> thats funny..last time I installed the driver it worked fine..in 32 bit that is
[20:05] <green91> Is it normal for processors with hyperthreading to show up as 2 processors under /proc/cpuinfo ?
[20:05] <oshua86> oshua86
[20:06] <satch5150> everything works til I run do-release-upgrade
[20:06] <joshp> im trying to get gtick to work, i have to tell it where my sound device is, default /dev/dsp doesnt work
[20:06] <satch5150> then it fails saying it can't find the prereqs
[20:06] <xiq> hello, how can i see the name of my network card?
[20:06] <green91> xiq: ifconfig
[20:06] <Myrtti> EDinNY: which version of Ubuntu do you run?
[20:06] <xiq> thanks
[20:06] <satch5150> so, I need some help beyong the info on the GutsyUpgrades page
[20:07] <EDinNY> Myrtti: latest
[20:07] <joshp> whats the sound device called in intrepid? its not /dev/dsp?
[20:07] <Myrtti> EDinNY: be more spesific, what do you get when you type 'lsb_release -r' in terminal?
[20:08] <satch5150> anyone know what might be wrong or have a suggestion I can try ?
[20:08] <erUSUL> joshp: /dev/snd/*
[20:08] <cmorgan> green91: i think it is normal
[20:08] <EDinNY> Myrtti: 	8.10
[20:08] <Myrtti> EDinNY: ok
[20:08] <joshp> thanks
[20:08] <xiq> green91: it doesnt show the name
[20:08] <EDinNY> Myrtti: my guess is that the problem is in the kde updates
[20:08] <erUSUL> satch5150: i suspect is becouse 7.04 is no longer supported...
[20:08] <Rocket101> any one can help in small thing  iam  have  all file .conf changed to be with  exe icon
[20:08] <erUSUL> !7.04
[20:09] <green91> xiq: what name exactly are you looking for?
[20:09] <satch5150> according to the GutsyUpgrades page it should still work
[20:09] <green91> cmorgan: thanks. I was wondering why my dual proc server was listing 4 processors and figured it had to do with hyperthreading.
[20:09] <xiq> green91: i use xubuntu and windows xp, and on xp my "ethernet card" doesnt install so i need the name to download the drivers
[20:09] <nivalis> EDinNY, try apt-cache update && apt-get dist-upgrade ?
[20:10] <cmorgan> green91: i see two entries here with a core 2 duo but i recall seeing two entries with a p4 single core
[20:10] <EDinNY> nivalis: do I want to do a dist upgrade?
[20:10] <hunt577> I burnt the CD Image for Ubuntu on a CD-R blank CD.  I have an Acer Aspire 6930 laptop with Windows Vista, when I restart my computer I hit Delete and it comes up with "Windows Boot System" but the only Operating System listed is Windows Vista
[20:10] <nivalis> well, i dont know :)
[20:10] <cmorgan> green91: is hyperthreading removed from the core2 series? that might explain the difference
[20:11] <satch5150> googling for the problem suggested proxying could be a problem, im behind a soho router firewall, but not using proxying on anything else to access the web
[20:11] <hunt577> Did ubuntu not burn onto the CD properly?
[20:11] <green91> xiq: you can use lspci to show devices on your pci bus, gives the exact model of the cards on my machine.
[20:12] <homeskill> i just plugged my lcd monitor into my laptop's vga port, right now it's mirroring ubuntu linux, ie the same screen on both monitors but my separate lcd monitor is making loud buzzing sounds, will it break my monitor and what should i do?
[20:12] <xiq> thank you
[20:12] <green91> cmorgan: quick research shows no core2 cpus support hyperthreading
[20:13] <jatt> hi I do want to change my hostname dynamically how can I do it? My laptop gets a dynamically assigned IP and I am registered to no-ip.com which maps a hostname to that IP address
[20:13] <cmorgan> green91: ahh, so yeah that explains the difference
[20:13] <xiq> green91: it says nvidia mcp51
[20:13] <GenesisOrion> Hi there.
[20:14] <GenesisOrion> ¿Somebody from Mexico?
[20:14] <arooni_____> how do i pair my motorola bluetooth headphones (s9) with my pc, such that i can hear audio from my computer on it?
[20:14] <green91> xiq: as the ethernet? I know there were a few mobos with nvidia chips that had also had nvidia ethernet.
[20:14] <user___> GenesisOrion: google ubuntu irc channel mexika i believe there is
[20:14] <GenesisOrion> Yes thanks, I only was asking for somebody from Mexico.
[20:14] <hunt577> Can someone help me with the installation of ubuntu on my Acer Aspire 6930?  I have already burnt the image onto a CD-R
[20:15] <xiq> green91: i run xub on ram, maybe thats why. in hardware drivers section, the nonfree driver is Atheros
 Google it man, it's very easy
[20:15] <_VIM_> storbeck: the last line concerns me the most, but the permissons issue should be easily solved by just adding a sudo infront of the commands no? http://paste.ubuntu.com/124428/
[20:15] <xiq> green91: no wait, atheros wlan card
[20:15] <green91> xiq: so you're trying to find the windows driver for your ethernet?
[20:15] <jango> linux rulez
[20:16] <xiq> green91: yes, but i needed to find the name via linux ;D
[20:16] <erUSUL> jatt: with the command "hostname"
[20:16] <johan12> here's the deal: accidently update mbr through paragon partiton manager, and now i get my comp can't find grub, what do i do?
[20:16] <green91> xiq: gotcha. my asus board has nvidia ethernet on it.. you may be better off to find the driver by the model # of your mobo honestly
[20:16] <erUSUL> xiq: lshw -C Network
[20:17] <erUSUL> !grub | johan12
[20:17] <xiq> green91: oh thank you
[20:17] <erUSUL> xiq: nvida bundless all the drivers for its mobos in the nforce driver... afaik
[20:17] <amaurea> hello, I seem to have a package dependency problem. I keep getting told that there are upgrades available, but the upgrade manager won't actually install them, telling me to fix broken packages first. how do I do this?
[20:17] <xiq> erUSUL: thank you very much!!
[20:18] <mchelen1> how can my bluetooth headset play sounds? it is paired and a2dp enabled with blueman
[20:19] <johan12> erUSUL: thx u very much
[20:19] <erUSUL> amaurea: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a
[20:19] <ActionParsnip1> mchelen1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothAudio
[20:19] <shagohod>  what package has xfburn
[20:19] <ActionParsnip1> !ifo xfburn
[20:19] <ActionParsnip1> !find xfburn
[20:19] <shagohod> nvm found it
[20:20] <redvamp128> amaurea:  if that does not work then try sudo apt-get install --fix-missing
[20:20] <amaurea> erUSUL: thank you, running it now. I'll see what happens
[20:20] <zertyuio> hi
[20:20] <mchelen1> ActionParsnip1, that page seems really out of date, is there no way to get bluetooth audio with editing config files?
[20:20] <green91> !ifo pico
[20:20] <brandon_> how do i run a ./config
[20:20] <hunt577> Anyone have any advice regarding ubuntu installation?  Have burnt the image onto a CD-R but when I go into Windows Boot System after pressing Delete on startup the only option I have is Windows Vista and Ubuntu is not listed
[20:20] <erUSUL> amaurea: no problem
[20:20] <ActionParsnip1> !info xfburn
[20:20] <ActionParsnip1> shagohod: ^
[20:20] <erUSUL> hunt577: you should configure the bios to boot from cdrom first
[20:20] <tmg1|riemann> hunt577: you'll need to tell your bios to boot your cdr
[20:20] <dustin> i am using the default wireless connection that comes with a fresh ubuntu 8.10 and my signal strength is very very weak.. i am downloading at 10-25kb/s when i should be at about 900k/1.2mb average - is there something wrong with this default driver?
[20:20] <ActionParsnip1> mchelen1: if theres a guide to walk you through the config files, i'd use it
[20:20] <hunt577> how do I do that?
[20:20] <redvamp128> brandon_:  do you have build essentials installed? sounds like you are trying to compile
[20:21] <tmg1|riemann> hunt577: depends on your computer somewhat, but usually there's a 'press f1 to enter system' when you're booting
[20:21] <tmg1|riemann> right when it's doing the memory checking most likely
[20:21] <mchelen1> ActionParsnip1, thats the closest found, however it seems absurd you can't use bluetooth audio in intrepid with gui
[20:21] <hunt577> oh ok and make the cd drive option 1 under boot menu?
[20:21] <brandon_> um hold on i will brb im using windows right now
[20:21] <zertyuio> i cant able to boot to my ubuntu
[20:21] <erUSUL> hunt577: enter your bios setup and change boot order... or enter into the boot menu (it may be one in you bios) and boot from the cdrom
[20:21] <tmg1|riemann> either that or your cdr is defectively burned
[20:21] <erUSUL> hunt577: yes
[20:21] <Henri> Hey does anyone know a good way to boot of an external CD drive?
[20:21] <brandon_> and idk if i have it installed
[20:21] <ActionParsnip1> mchelen1: some things are easier setting up without a gui app
[20:21] <hunt577> oh ok got it
[20:21] <hunt577> thanks guys your a lot of help!
[20:22] <tmg1|riemann> Henri: bios either supports it, needs firmware, or doesn't
[20:22] <ActionParsnip1> mchelen1: if yu are so averse to conf file editting then keep it as a backup
[20:22] <tmg1|riemann> imho
[20:22] <mchelen1> ActionParsnip1, not for alot of people
[20:22] <amaurea> erUSUL: hm, that produces some messages about unknown media types. they don't seem to be fatal though. is it normal?
[20:22] <ActionParsnip1> mchelen1: if it works then run with it
[20:22] <Guest88690> so if your restricted video drivers from nvidia dont work and you get a black screen is there anyway to recover without reinstall of whole box?
[20:22] <Henri> How do I find out if my BIOS supports it?
[20:22] <mchelen1> ActionParsnip1, there is no guide for using gui found so far
[20:22] <zertyuio> hi there
[20:22] <zertyuio> i can't log in to my ubuntu
[20:22] <tmg1|riemann> is there a key to go into/out of sleep mode in gnome/xorg?  Because after about 5 minutes of being logged in i'm being kicked into some kind of sleep mode...
[20:22] <Henri> Or, if there is any firmware to download.
[20:22] <ActionParsnip1> mchelen1: samba is a great example where conf file editting is easier than gui, specially people who use ssh
[20:22] <tmg1|riemann> zertyuio: when did this start?
[20:22] <erUSUL> amaurea: can not tell without seeing the actual mesgs but if the configure run until completion it may be harmless
[20:22] <dustin> anyone know much about ubuntu wireless? D:
[20:23] <ActionParsnip1> mchelen1: then i guess its your only choice
[20:23] <zertyuio> when i turn on my ubuntu
[20:23] <ActionParsnip1> dustin: is it internal or usb?
[20:23] <mchelen1> ActionParsnip1, its not though, the nautilus file sharing is much easier to config samba
[20:23] <wait> .org
[20:23] <zertyuio> i got a black screen where is display :
[20:23] <ActionParsnip1> mchelen1: not if you want decent secure settings
[20:23] <user___> tmg1|riemann: preferences -> screensaver could help
[20:23] <erUSUL> dustin: maybe forcing a connection rate helps... « sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M »
[20:23] <mchelen1> ActionParsnip1, actually i dont mind editing files, it will be too difficult for other users though
[20:23] <zertyuio> fatal server error :  could not create lock file in /tmp/.txo-lock
[20:24] <mchelen1> ActionParsnip1, which depends on your usage, so in some cases cli is better, other times gui is fine
[20:24] <zertyuio> xinit : connection reffused
[20:24] <george> \quit
[20:24] <tmg1|riemann> zertyuio: try booting into  single user mode
[20:24] <zertyuio> errno 111 :
[20:24] <scman> irc.netuno.com.br
[20:24] <zertyuio> how to do ?
[20:24] <ActionParsnip1> mchelen1: if they can type, they can edit files. If a gui app exists then great but if all that can be found is a conf file edit and its done, i'd run with it
[20:24] <zertyuio> plz
[20:24] <tmg1|riemann> you can get there through grub
[20:24] <scman> join #irc.netuno.com.br
[20:24] <tmg1|riemann> when the system is booting, it usually asks you to 'enter grub in 3 2 1 ' press escape then
[20:24] <erUSUL> !details | zertyuio all in *one* line
[20:25] <mchelen1> ActionParsnip1, its just too much hassle for an every day kind of task, there should be gui option
[20:25] <ActionParsnip1> mchelen1: and the time taken trying to find a different guide you could have editted the file and be done rather than wasting time trying to find a gui way
[20:25] <ActionParsnip1> mchelen1: or make your own gui for the file
[20:25] <Myrtti> scman: /connect irc.netuno.com.br
[20:25] <mchelen1> ActionParsnip1, thanks it not a waste, because ill have to do it on several computers
[20:25] <user___> +1
[20:25] <dustin> erUSUL: ty much man... 90%-100% signal again and me speeds are increasing =D
[20:26] <dustin> it was running at 1mb previously, haha :D
[20:26] <erUSUL> dustin: you will have to do it by hand everytime i'm afraid :|
[20:26] <ActionParsnip1> mchelen1: if you have to do it on many computers you could create a script to populate the file appropriately, including the bluetooth scan
[20:26] <ActionParsnip1> mchelen1: so editting the file is even better suited here
[20:26] <ActionParsnip1> mchelen1: you can run the script on the systems remotely
[20:26] <dustin> im kinda linux newb still, is there a boot config or something i can add that to? startup line of some sort?
[20:26] <mchelen1> ActionParsnip1, yeah but half the point is to find an easy method so new ubuntu users can follow
[20:27] <erUSUL> dustin: you can add it to /etc/rc.local
[20:27] <zertyuio> do i choose recovery mode ?
[20:27] <zertyuio> is it ?
[20:27] <tmg1|riemann> yes
[20:27] <zertyuio> tmg1|riemann:
[20:27] <zertyuio> ok
[20:27] <ActionParsnip1> mchelen1: sometimes a gui doesnt exist for some purposes
[20:27] <dustin> erUSUL: and thats a startup line to prevent entering that everytime?
[20:28] <ActionParsnip1> mchelen1: i hope you find one as a gui would be nice for new users as you say but i think in this case hands are going to have to be dirtied
[20:28] <erUSUL> dustin: put « iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M » before the exit 0
[20:28] <mchelen1> ActionParsnip1, yeah im just surprised, since its a very common task, makes me think there is an easier way im not aware of
[20:29] <dustin> no need for sudo? :o
[20:29] <^paradox^> quick question
[20:30] <zertyuio> no i got
[20:30] <zertyuio> now i got
[20:30] <ActionParsnip1> mchelen1: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/15183
[20:30] <zertyuio> a black screen
[20:30] <brandon_> okay I am back
[20:30] <ActionParsnip1> mchelen1: what you are saying is a bug
[20:30] <tmg1|riemann> zertyuio: is it asking for you to login at all?
[20:30] <zertyuio> yes
[20:30] <cconstantine_> there are two package sets (nvidia and alsa) in feisty I want to install from intrepid, how possible is thits?
[20:30] <tmg1|riemann> zertyuio: what happens when you try
[20:30] <ActionParsnip1> mchelen1: so right now there is no gui
[20:31] <zertyuio> root@mydesktop:#
[20:31] <tmg1|riemann> so that means you logged in successfully
[20:31] <mchelen1> ActionParsnip1, ah yes, basically it should just work out of the box, also im having trouble following that guide
[20:31] <tmg1|riemann> try 'cd /tmp
[20:31] <^paradox^> today i plan on upping my computer's ram from 1gig to 2gigs. under windows it was always a simple task of removing the old chip, snapping in the new one and turning on the computer and ur done
[20:31] <tmg1|riemann> '
[20:31] <brandon_> okay how do i run ./config
[20:31] <brandon_> again
[20:31] <erUSUL> dustin: could be. i'm not sure becouse at the time that file is run your wifi connection is not up and may have no effect
[20:31] <^paradox^> would it be the same under ubuntu?
[20:31] <ActionParsnip1> mchelen1: ive not paired bluetooth as i find bluetooth too slow so dont use it
[20:31] <user___> brandon_: whats inside config?
[20:31] <cconstantine_> ^paradox^: yes
[20:31] <erUSUL> dustin: no; no sudo in rc.local that file already runs as root
[20:32] <dustin> k
[20:32] <zertyuio> when i try what ?
[20:32] <mchelen1> ActionParsnip1, it is for an audio headset
[20:32] <brandon_> user___: its a IRCd ./config file
[20:32] <dustin> when these updates finish i'll reboot and see if it works :D
[20:32] <zertyuio> now i got a black screen where it written  root@mydesktop:#
[20:32] <ActionParsnip1> mchelen1: i use my bose headset, i like sound quality
[20:32] <zertyuio> what i have to do ?
[20:32] <user___> brandon_: ? what does 'file ./config' give?
[20:33] <zertyuio> tmg1|riemann:
[20:33] <zertyuio> sorry what i have to do ?
[20:33] <^paradox^> cconstantine: fantastic. lol walmart has a 2gig pny chip for $45. not a bad deal
[20:33] <istvan_> I am having trouble with rose garden, why cant I make it make sound?
[20:33] <cconstantine_> ^paradox^: nice :)
[20:33] <mchelen1> ActionParsnip1, in theory you can get good quality from bt, id like to be able to alternate between my wired headphones and wireless
[20:33] <ActionParsnip1> mchelen1: that guide is all i know for  that sort f thing.
[20:34] <zertyuio> r u still there tmg1|riemann
[20:34] <^paradox^> i was told id see a deal of improvement with the internet too. well im off then
[20:34] <ENERGIZE> hey everyone i am using frostwire for a while now but i sometimes have problems with it is there a better music downloading software that anyone would recommend
[20:34] <ActionParsnip1> istvan_: do you get sounds elsewhere?
[20:34] <erUSUL> !p2p | ENERGIZE
[20:35] <homeskill> do i need to use 'envy-ng' to enable dual monitor support for my laptop running ubuntu?
[20:35] <ActionParsnip1> homeskill: no dont use envy
[20:35] <mchelen1> ActionParsnip1, it seems out of date, the bluez page specifically says bluetooth-alsa is obsolete
[20:35] <homeskill> my laptop has an intel video card
[20:35] <brandon_> user___: i do not know what you mean so here is the ./config file > http://bizzareirc.pastebin.com/d3824f8b0
[20:35] <homeskill> ActionParsnip1 what should i use
[20:35] <ActionParsnip1> !dualhead | homeskill
[20:35] <mchelen1> homeskill, envy is only for nvidia and ati afaik
[20:35] <ActionParsnip1> homeskill: make sure you install video drivers for the intel
[20:35] <ActionParsnip1> !envy
[20:36] <tmg1|riemann> user___: nope, that wasn't it
[20:36] <zertyuio> tmg1|riemann: I dont understand
[20:36] <zertyuio> plz help
[20:36] <ActionParsnip1> homeskill: envy is for ati and nvidia only, mchelen1 is right
[20:36] <zertyuio> i m still waiting
[20:37] <homeskill> ok
[20:37] <arooni_____> with ibex;  i cant get my s9 bluetooth headphones to connect to my pc... i even tried install blueman;  no luck :(
[20:37] <tmg1|riemann> zertyuio: you're logged in
[20:37] <mchelen1> brb need reboot
[20:37] <tmg1|riemann> try looking at what is in /tmp
[20:37] <ActionParsnip1> zertyuio: what are you trying to do
[20:37] <user___> brandon_: ok, you need to read 'man $your-irc-server-program' and find out where to put the config file and how to restart the irc-server
[20:37] <tmg1|riemann> is the directory itself broken?
[20:37] <homeskill> ActionParsnip1 when i plug a second monitor into my laptop's vga port it makes a loud buzzing sound, but i need the second monitor plugged in in order to install/configure dual monitor support.. what should i do to be safe?
[20:37] <tmg1|riemann> you know, i think my problem might be a hardware issue
[20:38] <tmg1|riemann> i smell dead computer :(
[20:38] <ActionParsnip1> homeskill: then you need to read the dual head guide
[20:38] <green91> homeskill: im going to guess your resolution is wrong
[20:38] <smacfarl_> so what if I download an ubuntu iso from an approved hosting location and the md5 is not even in the same ballpark?
[20:38] <redvamp128> !compile | brandon_
[20:38] <user___> tmg1|riemann: maybe preferences -> screensaver -> powermanagement??
[20:38] <green91> or refresh rate
[20:38] <ActionParsnip1> homeskill: if yuo rebooot with it in does it detect?
[20:38] <sdf2> do u guys recommend ubuntu 8.10 updates?
[20:38] <homeskill> ActionParsnip1 it detects it in the sense that it clones my screen on both monitors
[20:38] <sdf2> i see 259 updates available
[20:38] <Biermacht> hi guys, anyone synchronized a Symbian 9.3 Phone with Evolution??? or maybe other PIM ???
[20:39] <guntbert> smacfarl_: your download got corrupted on the way :)
[20:39] <ActionParsnip1> sdf2: yeah sure
[20:39] <homeskill> sdf2 yes why wouldnt you want updates
[20:39] <tmg1|riemann> holy crap my video card is hot
[20:39] <zertyuio> how to login ?
[20:39] <user___> sdf2: yes, they include sec updates
[20:39] <tmg1|riemann> i think it may be overheating :/
[20:39] <Cool_Nick> I know how to compile a kernel...Im only having many issues trying to compile a kernel for ubuntu.  Anyone have experience with this that could get me around some errors/issues Im dealing with (Im pretty vague cause I have tried multiple ways and each way has its own outcome...)
[20:39] <zertyuio> i just got a black screen where it written  root@mydesktop:#
[20:39] <ActionParsnip1> homeskill: you need to install your drivers for your video card

[20:40] <tmg1|riemann> i just burned my hand from touching my video card <_<
[20:40] <green91> Then dont do it.

[20:40] <tmg1|riemann> zertyuio: you are logged in
[20:40] <zipper> can anyone help me
[20:40] <sdf2> hi
[20:41] <tmg1|riemann> as root, anyway
[20:41] <ActionParsnip1> zertyuio: if you have a prompt like that you are logged in, try typing startx
[20:41] <tmg1|riemann> zertyuio: what you want to do is see if there's anything wrong with your filesystem
[20:41] <guntbert> !ask | zipper
[20:41] <zipper> ok nice
[20:41] <istvan_> yes, the rest of my system will make sound, but I can't get a demo in rosegarden to. help!
[20:41] <madmartian> wasn't that simple, sorry
[20:41] <user___> Cool_Nick: google irc ubuntu channel, then grep for developers or kernel (two of them exist afaik)
[20:41] <zertyuio> doing startx
[20:41] <madmartian> Session error : The drive cannot be locked (Burning CD/DVD) (brasero_burn_record burn.c:2650)

[20:41] <homeskill> ActionParsnip1 i have an intel 945GM video card on the laptop. where can i get the drivers
[20:42] <zipper> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v644/toxicityj/100_1272.jpg
[20:42] <ActionParsnip1> zertyuio: that will start the graphical environment. i have no idea what you are trying to do

[20:43] <tmg1|riemann> wizard23: what about?
[20:43] <smacfarl_> do i tried to torrent the alternate cd iso. I got to 99.93 and then it wouldn't complete i got like 80 mb straight of bad dowload bits. Any suggestions?

[20:43] <AfterDeath> anyone know if http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7806804&type=product&id=1142293514033 will work easily and well with ubuntu/linux?
[20:43] <wizard23> and a lot of my controls are gone
[20:43] <Cool_Nick> user___, Im not trying to develop a kernel or any part of one...Im just trying to compile a newer version to hopefully fix a few issues I am getting
[20:43] <wizard23> like when i try to open card properties on gnome alsa mixer, it crashes
[20:43] <tmg1|riemann> wizard23: upgraded to a default kernel?
[20:44] <zertyuio> no error
[20:44] <tmg1|riemann> do you have a newish soundcard?
[20:44] <wizard23> mmm maybe
[20:44] <wizard23> nah intel
[20:44] <zertyuio> by doing ls /tmp
[20:44] <Codd> I was looking around at www.gnome-look.org and read that all I have to do is download the theme (*.tar.gz) and drag it onto the 'theme' tab of "Appearance Preferences" but every time I do it says the format is invalid, what am i doing wrong?
[20:44] <wizard23> old thinkpad
[20:44] <tmg1|riemann> zertyuio: was there anything in /tmp ?
[20:44] <zertyuio> it just list everything
[20:44] <wizard23> was working fine, and then an auto install
[20:44] <Codd> is there another / better way of installing themes?
[20:44] <wizard23> of updates broke it, wish i had read the updates, but looked like a lot of media stuff
[20:45] <tmg1|riemann> zertyuio: what about 'ls /tmp/.whateverfileyouwrote' ?
[20:45] <tmg1|riemann> or 'touch /tmp/testme'
[20:45] <tmg1|riemann> any of those bring up errors?
[20:45] <user___> Cool_Nick: since most (any?) of us compile kernels everyday chances are a kernel channel will help you further
[20:45] <zipper> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v644/toxicityj/100_1272.jpg problem at ubuntu boot.
[20:45] <tmg1|riemann> wizard23: sometimes another kernel has more support for your specific hardware than the default
[20:45] <homeskill> how do you restart the X server?
[20:45] <user___> Cool_Nick: s/compile/dont compile
[20:45] <tmg1|riemann> wizard23: other times you need to run 'alsaconf', but that's not recommended
[20:45] <zertyuio> ls /tmp
[20:45] <guntbert> zipper: is this a fresh install?
[20:45] <zertyuio> gives me

[20:47] <user___> Cool_Nick: hmm, cant be of much help sorry, you can post one problem and wait for answers. maybe someone can help
[20:47] <redvamp128> !compile | zagabar
[20:47] <zipper> guntbert yes i  did
[20:48] <ze__> best distro for a pentium 4 512 mg??
[20:48] <nomiculus> how do i find the ip address of a client machine i wish to put into the file 'exports' for NFS sharing pls anyone
[20:48] <zagabar> hank
[20:48] <zagabar> Thanks**
[20:48] <eseven73> on a +RW dvd how can i delete like one file from it? I'm only seeing an option in k3b to delete entire dvd, or is this not possible?
[20:48] <guntbert> zipper: ok, is your problem with the live CD too or after the installation?
[20:48] <user___> Cool_Nick: i mean you are allowed to ask more then one question of course (no limits or fees stuff..), just post a concrete error message, thats what i was trying to say
[20:48] <green91> guntbert: thanks. Ive still been using webmin but it had been acting strangely.
[20:49] <Cool_Nick> simplified issue: How do I make a WORKING initrd? (mkinitramfs and upgrade-initramfs are not doing it. not bringing up the correct /dev/*)
[20:49] <Codd> ze_; im running Jaunty right now on a p4 2.53 w/ 512mb ram .  its pretty quick with ext4 filesystem
[20:49] <wizard23> tmg1|riemann: when i try to run alsa commands i get cannot open shared library libasound_module_conf_pulse.so
[20:49] <ActionParsnip1> homeskill: then its ok then, read the dual head guide to setup the display
[20:49] <magnetron> eseven73→ you need to use UDF filesystem or similar to be able to delet files
[20:49] <zipper> guntbert: my problem with cd boot.
[20:49] <Cool_Nick> user___, k, Ill go get the error and paste it here
[20:49] <eseven73> magnettron but its a dvd how do i format it for that?
[20:49] <Scunizi> Is there a way to "balance" split windows in terminator?
[20:49] <guntbert> zipper: strange, and you really checked the image with md5sum?
[20:49] <magnetron> eseven73→ how did you format it in the first place?
[20:50] <redvamp128> ze__:  there is no best distro ( it all depends on what works with your hardware the best) for example I ran Intrepid and it ran but I had some issues with it (video and flash not working) but when I run hardy I don't have as many issues.
[20:50] <zipper> guntbert: yes i did . even i shiped a cd from ubuntu. but there is a problem at cd boot
[20:50] <Louis> Hi guys.  Just a quick question... why do some packages get "kept back" when running apt-get updgrade?  Should I be concerned about this?
[20:50] <eseven73> magnetron: I used k3b, but it did not give me options, it only said something like "Format disk"
[20:51] <user___> Louis: no (people will correct me, hehe)
[20:51] <magnetron> eseven73→ did you format it to UDF in the first place? if not, you can't delete individual files
[20:51] <benste> did so try to work with DLNA Client / Server on Ubuntu? -> Scenarion: I have got 2 ubuntu machines connected to a wifi network, musik sharing via DAAP in ryhtmbox works fine. But now I want to be able to have a video eg. WALL-E as avi on my machine and watch in on the other machine which has got a better sound and grafic system.
[20:51] <Louis> user____:  thanks!  Any idea why it happens?
[20:51] <eseven73> magnetron: apparently i didnt, but it did not give me any options to format it to UDF
[20:52] <guntbert> zipper: did the same CD work in another computer? (you see I'm just fishing around...)
[20:52] <user___> Louis: its just an effect of partial delay.. should be fixed later then automatically then
[20:52] <eseven73> is there a command line way of formatting dvd's to UDF?
[20:52] <zipper> guntbert: yes. cd works on another pc as well
[20:52] <Louis> user___:  what's partial delay?
[20:52] <ze__> Jaunty uses the last kernel version??, if so, will be as slow as ubuntu 8.10
[20:52] <Codd> does any one here customize using themes?  if so how do you get them and install them?
[20:53] <mib_lv1wa4> hi, i wanted to ask this in a kubuntu channel as it is not really something ubuntu specific. could a nice soul take a look at this website with Konqueror and tell me if it shows plain text or renders fine? thanks a lot! http://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/nsoe.xml
[20:53] <redvamp128> !jaunty | ze__:
[20:53] <guntbert> zipper: so its just this one - what about a "different" live CD (knoppix...)?
[20:53] <user___> Louis: the bits and pieces shouldnt be upgraded all of them at one time
[20:54] <Cool_Nick> Can I take an old initrd and mount it to upload modules from a newer kernel to it (to match the kernel I have compiled and want to run)?
[20:54] <Louis> aah i see. okay thank you!
[20:54] <zipper> guntbert: friend all new distros dont work . im getting same error
[20:54] <wizard23> how do i role back a kernel-image?
[20:54] <TriBeCa99> hi everyone, can someone tell me how to configure my samba server in ubuntu to allow a remote machine (not on the same host) to mount the shares?
[20:54] <zipper> guntbert: but all old distros working
[20:54] <wizard23> the newest kernel has a bug apparently with my soundcard and i want to use the older generic image
[20:55] <TriBeCa99> it works fine if the machine where i'm mounting the drive is behind the same domain, but when i try to connect remotely it won't let me
[20:55] <ze__> Ubuntu 8.10 and pentium 4, a little slow??
[20:55] <Spirits-Sight> Are there any good program that would allow you to see a website in different resourlation (screen sizes)?
[20:55] <Sartre>  /server irc.quakenet.se
[20:55] <tmg1|riemann> wizard23: synaptic should allow this??
[20:55] <tmg1|riemann> or do you want the pre-upgrade kernel
[20:55] <redvamp128> wizard23:  if you haven't removed them = you sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and comment out the lines the of the non working kernel
[20:55] <mib_lv1wa4> Spirits-Sight: there are firefox addons for that i think
[20:55] <tmg1|riemann> wizard23: what redvamp128 sayd
[20:55] <user___> Spirits-Sight: i heard they have online webservices for this, not so much desktop based
[20:55] <guntbert> zipper: strange, please ask your question to the channel again (without a nickname in front) - I'm out of guesses :-(
[20:55] <wizard23> cool thanks, im going to try that
[20:56] <zipper> guntbert: friend i researched this problem by nvidia card. but i tryed everything but no way for my comp
[20:56] <gescape> hi
[20:56] <diogo> hi
[20:56] <benste> someone ever tried DLNA on ubuntu?
[20:56] <redvamp128> wizard23:  also you may want to coment out the recovery for that kernel as well
[20:56] <diogo> hi
[20:56] <ze__> Diogo, português
[20:56] <ze__> '
[20:56] <gescape> I wonder why there are no 8.04.2 dvd ISOs available ???
[20:56] <Spirits-Sight> user___: do you know of a name www address mib_lv1wa4 do you by any chance know where I could look for such
[20:57] <diogo> eu sou
[20:57] <diogo> sou brasileiro
[20:57] <diogo> como sabe?
[20:57] <user___> Spirits-Sight: sorry no, i think you already have the right keywords for a potential google search
[20:57] <redvamp128> !br
[20:57] <user___> Spirits-Sight: found by yourself
[20:57] <mib_lv1wa4> Spirits-Sight: http://browsershots.org/ is handy. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1985 what you want :)
[20:57] <diogo> valeu!
[20:58] <ze__> Diogo, sabes se existe alguma versão mais leve para um pentium 4 com 512 ram, instalei o 8.10 e isto arrasta-se?
[20:58] <zipper> who is best in this chanell to fix my problem http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v644/toxicityj/100_1272.jpg
[20:59] <user___> zipper: too late for us, file a bug in launchpad against the kernel
[20:59] <mib_lv1wa4> Spirits-Sight: actually check out the comments on that addon page: just enter this in your address bar to get a window or 800x600 for example: javascript:window.resizeTo(800,600)
[20:59] <tmg1|riemann> aha my video card fan isn't moving. not clogged with dust. i wonder if it moves in windows
[20:59] <nomiculus> how do i find out what 'hostname' or ip address to put into /etc/exports for a client?  pls anyone
[21:00] <guntbert> zipper: a hint: you might get better response if you formulate your problem in words and stated it all in one line :-) (so its easier to read)
[21:00] <nomiculus> i don't have a static i.p.
[21:01] <tmg1|riemann> will having a lower resolution / something like that put less strain on a video card?
[21:01] <benste> does someone know about DLNA ?
[21:01] <ze__> Diogo, alguma distro mais leve que o 8.10? (pentium 4)
[21:01] <user___> benste: whats the concrete error message?
[21:01] <TriBeCa99> let's try again
[21:01] <TriBeCa99> can someone tell me how to configure my samba server in ubuntu to allow a remote machine (not on the same host) to mount the shares?
[21:02] <mib_lv1wa4> tmg1|riemann: you could try disabling all the fancy effects (i don't use ubuntu myself so i don't know the correct term, desktop effects or something). but i doubt it would help much. do you have an nvidia card?
[21:02] <TriBeCa99> it accepts connections from behind the same domain (columbia.edu) but not from elsewhere (i.e. my apartment)
[21:02] <veckt> hello, i got a problem. i used to have fedora and i backed up all my data on a LVM disk, now i installed ubuntu and i would like to get my data back, but ubuntu doesn't recognise the LVM. what should i do? i'm pretty new at linux..
[21:02] <user___> !samba | TriBeCa99
[21:02] <benste> user___ the problem is that I don't know how to set it up for video sharing, my original post was:
[21:02] <benste> (21:51:45) IRC - Ubuntu: did so try to work with DLNA Client / Server on Ubuntu? -> Scenarion: I have got 2 ubuntu machines connected to a wifi network, musik sharing via DAAP in ryhtmbox works fine. But now I want to be able to have a video eg. WALL-E as avi on my machine and watch in on the other machine which has got a better sound and grafic system.
[21:05] <tmg1|riemann> mib_lv1wa4: nope, ati radeon x1650 series
[21:05] <user___> benste: never heard of dlna so far, sorry
[21:05] <user___> benste: maybe there is a dlna channel or a streaming channel?
[21:06] <mib_lv1wa4> tmg1|riemann: no idea then. for nvidia there is a tool called nvclock which allows setting eg. the fan speed. maybe there is something similar for ati
[21:07] <nasso> does anyone know if its possible to show multiple tabs in gnome-terminal at the same time?
[21:07] <benste> user___
[21:07] <benste> the problem is what should I open to view it - Google just told me about DLNA server
[21:07] <benste> by the way: http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/technology/technology/theme/dlna_01.html
[21:07] <tmg1|riemann> looks like there is, for windows at least
[21:07] <FloodBot2> benste: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:07] <newpers> i installed ubuntu server in virtual box on windows xp.  when it boots i get an error that the cpu does not support pae.
[21:07] <nasso> kind of like you can do in windows, "organize horizontal" or what it says
[21:07] <tmg1|riemann> i'll try that first, the card could just be cooked too
[21:07] <redvamp128> mib_lv1wa4:  there is an nvclock -- you have to  add mediabuntu -- to you repository -- I have it installed
[21:07] <newpers> is there a way to disable the pae requirement when i boot the kernel in grub?
[21:08] <dmz> howdy y'all, i just got my base system live cd running great, now i need to be able to install it onto a local disk. i have install ubiquity but do not know what to run when it boots to get it to install, any suggestions?
[21:08] <benste> nasso there is a project which isn't in the ubuntu resp which allows you to use multiple shells
[21:08] <crdlb> nasso: no, it doesn't have a split view; though you can do a horizontal split with gnu screen
[21:08] <redvamp128> mib_lv1wa4:  Medibuntu - Community Ubuntu Documentation <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu>
[21:09] <mib_lv1wa4> redvamp128: you misunderstood, i was wondering if there was an equivalent for ATI
[21:09] <nasso> crdlb, oh. i use screen anyway
[21:09] <redvamp128> mib_lv1wa4:  I run nvidia so I don't know
[21:09] <benste> nasso: see https://launchpad.net/terminator
[21:09] <nasso> crdlb, do you know how or should i google it? :)
[21:09] <mib_lv1wa4> yes, me too ~_~
[21:09] <nasso> benste, thanks. will look it up
[21:09] <kb3ien> just installing 8.10 PPC whats the best way to install kbe, there still a meta-pkg for it?
[21:09] <kb3ien> err kde
[21:09] <user___> benste: so basically you need a dlna media player application for ubuntu?
[21:10] <benste> user: yes
[21:10] <cconstantine_> I'm trying to download the upgrade script in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6589810#post6589810 and I get an error claiming I don't have permission.  I created a forum account, and I still can't get it.  Any ideas?
[21:10] <benste> user___ best would be nautilus and totem to support it like this shit of WMP in M$
[21:11] <newpers> i'm installing ubuntu in virtualbox, but it won't boot because it claims my cpu doesn't support pae.  any suggestions on what to do?
[21:11] <jsn> Hello. I'm running hardy/2.4.24-23-generic and just bought (whee!) a wacom bamboo tablet (650-cte). It's not detected in any of the ways the HOWTO expects. I've tried both vanilla and compiled drivers, but I think the problem might be one step back from the driver.
[21:11] <_VIM_> storbeck: the last line concerns me the most, but the permissons issue should be easily solved by just adding a sudo infront of the commands no? http://paste.ubuntu.com/124428/
[21:11] <crdlb> nasso: C-a S to make one, C-a Tab to switch
[21:12] <user___> benste: just found http://certification.dlna.org/products/Default.aspx - does it give you something if your search for linux or similar?
[21:12] <benste> user___ I'll take a look just hang on a min
[21:12] <nasso> crdlb, thanks alot
[21:13] <benste> user___ this may be helpful for buying additional hardware, but not for searching an opensource implementation for it
[21:14] <nasso> crdlb, screen is the best invention since the friccin wheel... or dr pepper
[21:14] <Guest88690> is there a known problem with ubuntu 8.10 x64 and the nvidia drivers...I only find maybes everywhere I look...Google the forums
[21:14] <user___> benste: havent found anything, maybe dlna is more appliances oriented designed, software wise you would for other technologies (which there are plenty of)
[21:15] <Guest88690> they seemed to work when I accidently installed 32bit ubuntu...but they don't seem to for 64bit...weird...those extra bits will getcha everytime...I guess
[21:15] <D3RGPS31> How do I install 32bit packages on 64bit ubuntu :D
[21:15] <jatt> do the script in /etc/cron.d run hourly, daily or monthly? or they just don't run at all automatically?
[21:16] <benste> user___ ehm DLNA is very famous on windows machines, it comes nearly with all TVs, PS3, laptops ...
[21:16] <Guest88690> D3RGPS31: find the 64bit ubuntu package or recompile from source are the only two I know
[21:16] <jsn> jatt: if you have a laptop and are using anacron, it isn't even that. but to answer your question, iirc, some run daily, some weekly, etc\
[21:16] <user___> benste: so its like standard in windows media player?
[21:16] <benste> user___ but by the way which solution would you propose me to watch a video from a PC which is in the home network?
[21:17] <jsn> I'll try rebooting again
[21:17] <D3RGPS31> Guest88690: thank you :D
[21:17] <jatt> jsn: I have a laptop and I have currently anacron and cron installed, I'm not sure even if both are running
[21:17] <benste> user___ it is installed per default in WMP but I don't like WMP because it'S M$
[21:17] <jatt> are the /etc/cron.d/ entries anacron only?
[21:17] <Guest88690> I am going through synaptic, so the version I am "activating" should be the 64bit version, right?
[21:17] <Jufis> how to rename folder in terminal?
[21:18] <jatt> Jufis: mv
[21:18] <user___> benste: i would setup a network file system or use a streaming protocol if ad-hoc-bandwith (while playing the movie) is a problem
[21:19] <nasso> is anyone else here totally inlove with joe? (the editor, not some dude)
[21:19] <benste> user___ NFS like using a samba server?
[21:19] <benste> user___ there a windows machines left in our network who should be able to acces the videos and music too
[21:19] <Jufis> jatt, thanks
[21:20] <zertyuio> hekki
[21:20] <Jophish> not me then
[21:20] <mrpockets> fellas
[21:20] <zertyuio> hellog
[21:20] <mrpockets> i've got a GeForve 8600GT
[21:20] <mrpockets> and love it
[21:20] <mrpockets> running dual monitors one per head.
[21:20] <user___> benste: yes, or streaming like vlc media player with udp://, but in the end its really a bandwidth calculation which only you can answer
[21:20] <zertyuio> is there anyone h ere can help mz
[21:20] <mrpockets> If i get a seccond 8600GT, how hard would it be to run another 2 monitors for a total of four?
[21:20] <zertyuio> i can boot to unbuntu
[21:20] <zertyuio> it give this error
[21:20] <guntbert> nasso: no, but I use it now and then
[21:21] <zertyuio>  got again the black screen
[21:21] <zertyuio> 	<zertyuio>	where it writen
[21:21] <zertyuio> 	<zertyuio>	an automatic file system check fsck of the root filesystem failed
[21:21] <zertyuio> 	<zertyuio>	a manual fsck must be performed
[21:21] <zertyuio> 	<zertyuio>	then the system restarted
[21:21] <FloodBot2> zertyuio: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:21] <zertyuio> 	<zertyuio>	the fsck should be performed in maintenance mode with the root filesystem mounted in read only mode
[21:21] <Hilikus> hey guys, after updating to 8.1 i cant mount my mp3 player like i could before
[21:21] <benste> user___ the problem with streaming with udp is that I have to start this process manually on both machines, DLNA allows you to acces media from another machine without doing something else on the server machine
[21:22] <nasso> guntbert, i totally love its. its so easy to use. its kind of like vim but easier to use and learn. the help at C-k C-h is great
[21:22] <Hilikus> hilikus@mazinger:~$ pmount /dev/sdc1
[21:22] <Hilikus> [error404notfoun1]: device /dev/sdc1 is not removable
[21:22] <zertyuio> helllo
[21:22] <fidelitysystem> Hello
[21:22] <guntbert> !ot | nasso
[21:22] <fidelitysystem> where i can install the java ??
[21:22] <Hilikus> i dont know why its not recognizing it as removable
[21:23] <fidelitysystem> cos i trying sudo apt-get install java but nothing..
[21:23] <benste> fidelitysystem open synaptic and search for java
[21:23] <user___> benste: you can login into the server machine via ssh.. or do you need a girlfriend-saturday-evening-hugging-environment?
[21:23] <benste> fidelitysystem the package is named jre6....
[21:23] <benste> yes I need this type
[21:23] <fidelitysystem> mm no
[21:23] <fidelitysystem> i will find in synapitc
[21:24] <benste> user___ for all my three sibling and my parents who are not familiar with ubunt
[21:24] <benste> ;-)
[21:24] <kb3ien> here goes apt-get install kde. but lots of broken depts...
[21:24] <fidelitysystem> where is synaptic i dont find..
[21:24] <user___> benste: so give them winxp for the client and have fun with ubuntu as server wizard of the family
[21:25] <benste> user___ I want to ban all M$ software from my home !!
[21:26] <benste> user___ otherwise I could use the preinstalled system on my vaio which already includes a configured DLNA server
[21:26] <user___> benste: thats difficult when having a family (no offence included.. !)
[21:26] <pyrohotdog> Is there a way to record audio from flash players?
[21:26] <tmg1|riemann> zertyuio: what device did it say about the manual fsck?
[21:26] <tmg1|riemann> and do you know what kind of filesystem this is for?
[21:27] <nasso> im running spotify in wine on my ubuntu machine. while im doing that im sometimes having graphical problems in other applications. its kind of like the screen of the applications doesnt upgrade. when you scroll back and forth in firefox images and text kind of "sticks" and makes it hard to read. have anyone had this problem or know what might cause it?
[21:27] <Hilikus> so any ideas? my UMS mp3 player is reported as not being removable so i cant mount it with pmount
[21:27] <pirvings> pyrohotdog: ffmpeg
[21:27] <mib_e0hpl1> i downloaded kubuntu, but not able to get WiFi working .. anyone had same issue_
[21:27] <mib_e0hpl1> ?
[21:27] <benste> user___ so no other ideas left,? eg I read about http://coherence.beebits.net/wiki/Nautilus but didn't get the point
[21:27] <tmg1|riemann> the fact that you're having this problem is a bad sign imho, i thought ubuntu dealt with this issue
[21:27] <amaurea> after being updated to 2.6.27.12 from 2.6.27.11, I have a small but irritating problem with the nvidia driver (180.22): In some games there seems to be some kind of resource leak. things slow down after a while, and the game crashes. any ideas of what could be wrong? I have tried reinstalling the driver (which was necessary anyway)
[21:27] <IndyGunFreak> mib_e0hpl1: wel, first, type "lspci" no quotes, in a terminal, and figure ut what your wireless device is
[21:28] <meho_r> pyrohotdog: you mean extract audio from flash? Try avidemux
[21:28] <alito66> Escriba el texto aquí....hola
[21:28] <newpers> any reason why i can't ssh into my machine.  ssh server is running and i see it listening on 0.0.0.0:22.  i can ping the server, but i get a network error: connection refused when i try to ssh into it
[21:28] <kb3ien> i'm starting with gnome, i'll see if that works.
[21:28] <user___> benste: seems to be a server also, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherence_(UPNP)
[21:29] <D_likescookies> I'm having trouble, how do I run terminal as root?
[21:29] <benste> user___ what is coherence ? is it just a name?
[21:29] <kb3ien> some mention of debian 'sid's was found by google, but i've had both kde and gnome before....
[21:29] <RichW> I plan to get a 1TB drive and partition it so that it dual boots vista and ubuntu. Vista has its own bootloader (bootmgr?) and linux has grub... a drive cant have two bootloaders can it?
[21:29] <guntbert> !root | D_likescookies
[21:29] <RichW> I am a bit confused about this.
[21:29] <user___> benste: its a software, read the article, it mentions gstreamer and *rhythmbox* for the client side
[21:29] <D_likescookies> ty guntbert
[21:29] <shear> RichW, if you install windows then linux, grub can handle the booting for both
[21:30] <theilluminatic> which parts of the gstreamer pipline
[21:30] <theilluminatic> audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr-quality=6 ! id3v2mux
[21:30] <theilluminatic> would I change if I want to rip v0 mp3?

[21:30] <RichW> grub duplicates what vista does for booting?
[21:30] <IndyGunFreak> RichW: grub will overwrite vista's boot loader, the bootloader will load first, then assuming all goes well, you'll be able to choose which os you want to boot
[21:30] <RichW> So grub has a windows bootloader implimentation?
[21:30] <shear> RichW, I've never done it with vista, but dual booting with XP works fine with GRUB as the bootloader
[21:30] <tmg1|riemann> RichW: it can...but it might take some doing
[21:30] <RichW> I have vista
[21:31] <RichW> I plan to use vista for games.
[21:31] <nasso> guntbert, i "activated" my root account with sudo passwd, is there a simple way to deactivate it again? just choose a random long password and forget it? :P
[21:31] <guntbert> D_likescookies: yw, if you *really* need a root shell (and not just single commands as root) use sudo -i
[21:31] <IndyGunFreak> RichW: no, grub will give you a menu entry of "Windows vista" for example, and you choose it, and it boots vista
[21:31] <tmg1|riemann> RichW: put it this way, at work we were seriously using grub to boot windows server 2008 since we were having so much trouble getting windows bootloader to do it properly
[21:31] <dmz> anyone here familiar with ubiquity?
[21:31] <tmg1|riemann> nasso: you go into /etc/password and change the password string there from whatever it is to whatever it is that represents 'no password'
[21:31] <tmg1|riemann> i think it's just * but you'll see most of the other users in that file will have it
[21:31] <RichW> Can you explain how it does it technically.... since vista requires its own bootloader to boot doesnt it? does grub read ntfs?
[21:32] <user___> benste: not sure if that make sense with rhytmbox though since we talk about movies
[21:32] <IndyGunFreak> RichW: use google
[21:32] <guntbert> nasso: don't follow tmg1|riemann !
[21:32] <Hilikus> even lshal is marking my device as non removable
[21:32] <Hilikus> hilikus@mazinger:~$ cat /sys/block/sdc/removable
[21:32] <Hilikus> 0
[21:32] <tmg1|riemann> guntbert: ?
[21:32] <Hilikus> but it is
[21:33] <amaurea> How do I go back to an earlier version of the kernel? The one I recently upgraded to is giving me trouble
[21:33] <lmoretti> RichW: I've usually seen it "Chainload"- it boots the GRUB loader, then when you select Windows, it hands off to the Windows Bootloader.
[21:33] <theilluminatic> which part of this gstreamer pipeline
[21:33] <theilluminatic> audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr-quality=6 ! id3v2mux
[21:33] <theilluminatic> do I change to rip v0 mp3s?
[21:33] <guntbert> tmg1|riemann: there are no passwords in /etc/password
[21:33] <RichW> Perhaps i will have to test inside a virtualbox.
[21:33] <RichW> Imoretti: your suggesting a hard drive can have two bootloaders?
[21:33] <theilluminatic> anyone?
[21:33] <nasso> tmg1|riemann, no password means that just can log in without a password. that doesnt sound like a good idea on a root account
[21:33] <mysyfy> hi, i just erroneous executed chown -R user.users * at /var
[21:34] <mysyfy> is there any easy way to restore previous ownership ?
[21:34] <IndyGunFreak> RichW: there are plenty of people who dual boot vista/ubuntu.. if there were an issue w/ the bootloaders, it would show up in google... I've told you how it works, and you insist on not listening... i can't make you see the forest if you're blinded by the trees
[21:34] <tmg1|riemann> there is a default symbol that doesn't allow login though
[21:34] <RichW> Ok i guess a drive does support two loaders then.
[21:34] <lmoretti> RichW: Sort of- most OS's don't store the whole bootloader in the sector 0 anymore- not enough space: so they write a small piece of code there that calls a "Secondary" bootloader off another area of the drive: /boot in the case of linux.
[21:34] <tmg1|riemann> x ?
[21:34] <Umeaboy> Hi!
[21:34] <tmg1|riemann> i think it's x
[21:34] <IndyGunFreak> RichW: lol
[21:34] <imperator_> #xbins
[21:34] <tmg1|riemann> x not *
[21:35] <guntbert> nasso: tmg1|riemann, edit /etc/shadow (as root), find the line root: ... and replace the string between the 1st and 2nd colon with an exclamation mark
[21:35] <mysyfy> chmod -R 777 * ???????
[21:35] <tmg1|riemann> sorry /etc/passwd
[21:35] <Decepticon> how do i tell where the largest files on the hdd are
[21:35] <Umeaboy> I need some help by looking at a problem if it is caused by a bug.
[21:35] <nasso> tmg1|riemann, if you use /dev/false as shell in /etc/passwd you cant login
[21:35] <manaus> boa tarde
[21:35] <manaus> alguem pode me ajudar
[21:35] <nasso> thats not what i want though
[21:35] <Umeaboy> I don't know if the problem is caused by a bug or a faulty graphicscard.
[21:35] <RichW> IndyGunFreak: Thanks, thats what i wanted to know in first place :)
[21:36] <cconstantine_> Could someone help me upgrade alsa?  I need version 1.0.18 or newer.
[21:36] <nasso> guntbert, will try that, thanks
[21:36] <tmg1|riemann> nasso: that works too
[21:36] <lmoretti> RichW: so what it does is the part of Grub in the sector 0 calls the GRUB program in /boot.  When you select the "Windows" entry, it then calls the Windows bootloader off your windows partition.
[21:36] <Umeaboy> manaus: #ubuntu-br please.
[21:36] <tmg1|riemann> wait
[21:36] <tmg1|riemann> no
[21:36] <tmg1|riemann> it's not that you don't want to be able to login maybe
[21:36] <RichW> IndyGunFreak: Makes alot more sense now.
[21:36] <manaus> estou com um problema com o meu pen drive
[21:36] <tmg1|riemann> i'm not sure if the /dev/false thing will screw with sudo/pam or not
[21:37] <Umeaboy> manaus: Pen drive? This isn't the right channel for pen drive-support.
[21:37] <unop> Decepticon, if you want a GUI representation - baobab should help. if you want a command line solution, let me know and i'll paste one.
[21:37] <RichW> Imoretti*
[21:37] <Decepticon> im using ncdu
[21:37] <guntbert> nasso: yw , just do it in /etc/shadow and not in /etc/passwd
[21:37] <Guest88690> i wonder why apt-get upgrade doesn't seem to pickup the kernel updates
[21:37] <Umeaboy> manaus: #pendrive is also a place you should visit.
[21:37] <lmoretti> RichW: Yes?
[21:37] <manaus> ?
[21:38] <RichW> Imoretti, sorry i was quoting IndyGunFreak by accident.
[21:38] <benste> user___ sorry I was away - rhytmbox was only named because it has a working DAAP solution and a hopefully working DLNA server plugin
[21:38] <benste> for audio only
[21:38] <nasso> guntbert, /etc/shadow doesnt specify shell. /etc/passwd do
[21:38] <user___> benste: i just got word that vlc 1.0 should have dlna client support (in the future)
[21:38] <manaus> Disco /dev/sdb: 33.5 GB, 33554432000 bytes
[21:38] <manaus> 64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 32000 cylinders
[21:38] <manaus> Units = cilindros of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes
[21:38] <manaus> Disk identifier: 0x5db11f9f
[21:38] <manaus> O disco /dev/sdb não contém uma tabela de partições válida
[21:38] <FloodBot2> manaus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:38] <nasso> guntbert, added the ! in shadow. works like a charm. thanks
[21:38] <manaus> ok
[21:39] <manaus> obrigado
[21:39] <pj_> ls
[21:39] <benste> user___ ok in the future and now there is no way?
[21:39] <benste> user___ wiki quote: Coherence also acts as a Python framework to enable applications access to digital living network resources
[21:39] <guntbert> nasso: glad to help, no need to change the shell
[21:39] <benste> user___ so it works a client as well or?
[21:40] <Guest88690> if you are going to run most of what you are doing in VMs anyways, should I really care about using the nvidia drivers...do they buy me anything?
[21:40] <Rocket101> any one can help in small thing  iam  have  all file .conf changed to be with  exe icon
[21:40] <lion_> ping
[21:40] <dr_Willis> Rocket101,  if the file is made 'executable' it might be using that icon incorrectly.
[21:41] <benste> user___ PS3 seems to use coherence, so that's the solution I'm looking for
[21:41] <lion_> hi piplz
[21:41] <theilluminatic> which part of this gstreamer pipeline
[21:41] <theilluminatic> audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr-quality=6 ! id3v2mux
[21:41] <theilluminatic> do I change to rip v0 mp3s?
[21:41] <Rocket101> dr_Willis, yes  its executable  how can i get it back to normal?
[21:41] <Rocket101> normal=txt icon
[21:42] <user___> benste: hmm, i feel that if you set all on context its a server only system
[21:42] <benste> but PS3 is a client only DLNA
[21:42] <benste> PS:
[21:42] <benste> python-coherence
[21:43] <fidelitysystem> hi i have question
[21:43] <benste> is user___ installed by default with ubuntu
[21:43] <fidelitysystem> how  i trying to connect with windows via putty but the ip dont response ..
[21:43] <whisperkiller> can someone help me out?  I installed wine-doors and I cant get it to work
[21:44] <nasso> fidelitysystem, is there a ssh server running on the computer you are trying to connect to?
[21:44] <whisperkiller> it won't come up when I try to run it
[21:44] <fidelitysystem> no i need to install ?
[21:45] <user___> benste: coherence is a server, look at http://coherence.beebits.net/wiki/DocumentationDepartment#Configuration
[21:45] <lion_> as farasI know putty can connect via telnet also
[21:45] <mib_e0hpl1> IndyGunFreak: my device is a Atheros wireless
[21:45] <dr_Willis> Rocket101,  make it non executable. :) chmod -x filename
[21:45] <whisperkiller> can soemone help me figure out why i cant start winedoors?
[21:45] <IndyGunFreak> mib_e0hpl1: well, there's a lot of atheros wireless devices...
[21:45] <nasso> fidelitysystem, yes you do, just a moment
[21:45] <fidelitysystem> im installed
[21:45] <fidelitysystem> with sudo apt-get install ssh
[21:45] <nasso> fidelitysystem, run; sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[21:46] <fidelitysystem> o another ok
[21:46] <nasso> fidelitysystem, that only installs the client, i would guess
[21:46] <benste> user___ ok thanks for your time, I'll try to go on searching how to use it with gstreamer and so on
[21:46] <fidelitysystem> done and now i can connect ?
[21:46] <fidelitysystem> with my ip of internet
[21:46] <nasso> fidelitysystem, the server and client is separate
[21:46] <Rocket101> dr_Willis, LoL but ubuntu mount windows drivers with exec :( how can  i avoid it :P
[21:46] <mib_e0hpl1> IndyGunFreak: Atheros AR242x
[21:46] <user___> benste: ok, good luck :-)
[21:46] <nasso> fidelitysystem, try if it works
[21:46] <benste> thanks
[21:46] <lion_> btw, I also have a question
[21:47] <IndyGunFreak> mib_e0hpl1: 32 or 64bit?
[21:47] <whisperkiller> can someone help me figure out why i cant start wine-doors in 8.10?
[21:47] <Rocket101> dr_Willis, its big prop for me  i hate exe icon
[21:47] <guntbert> !repeat | whisperkiller
[21:48] <fidelitysystem> mmm Network refused
[21:48] <fidelitysystem> why :S
[21:48] <chuckc> i get no sound under 9.04.  alsamixer says digital is on and analog is off, but i can't figure out how to turn on analog,  hda intel iec958
[21:48] <whisperkiller> scuse me gunbert but my question scrolled off screen i dont see how that is repeating quickle
[21:48] <nasso> fidelitysystem, if it doesnt, you probably have a router or firewall in the way. you could connect to it using the local ip. run the command; ifconfig to see what ip you have locally
[21:48] <nasso> fidelitysystem, run it on the machine with the openssh-server
[21:48] <whisperkiller> im nost spamming...if you dont want to answer me then kindly keep to yourself
[21:48] <pmitros> Hi. I'm trying to make X allow tcp connections. I am aware of the security risk, but it is on a private network, and temporarily necessary. I changed /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc, as well as /etc/gdm/gdm.conf, and finally X starts without -nolisten tcp. It still doesn't listen on TCP, however. nmap shows port 6000 closed, and X forwarding doesn't work.
[21:48] <dr_Willis> Rocket101,  its trivial.. the only real propblem is that if you double click on it.. it might try to run.  If you copy things from windows filesystems. often the exe bit gets set wrongly.
[21:48] <pmitros> Any clues as to how to force X to accept TCP connections?
[21:49] <dr_Willis> # Script to fix permissions on all files below current dir. *make the files NOT exeutable *
[21:49] <dr_Willis> find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 664
[21:49] <dr_Willis> :)
[21:49] <Rocket101> dr_Willis, its OK thanks man
[21:49] <fidelitysystem>  inet addr:192.168.1.105 this mean what my ip internet?
[21:49] <dr_Willis> pmitros,  ive had x forarding work without having to do that..  but that may be due to me using ssh i guess...
[21:50] <lion_> I'm trying to NATing one computer via ubuntu running on second one.. i've enabled ip_forwarding, have enabled masquerading in iptables, but packets not returning to me
[21:50] <dr_Willis> pmitros,  or it could be theres some other way to 'x forward' that ive never messed with :)
[21:50] <Caplain> lion_: did you setup the masquerade chain in iptables and routing?
[21:50] <pmitros> dr_willis: ssh uses a Unix domain socket and ssh port tunneling to set it up (which has the advantage of being secure). It doesn't do normal TCP x forwarding.
[21:50] <fidelitysystem> ls
[21:51] <dr_Willis> pmitros,  too many similer terms i guess. :) confuses us  non-cs majors. :)
[21:51] <nasso> fidelitysystem, that is you local ip on the local network
[21:51] <whisperkiller> can someone help me figure out why I cannot get winedoors to start up in 8.10?
[21:51] <nasso> fidelitysystem, you can connect to the ssh server using that ip
 under root: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADING
[21:52] <dr_Willis> pmitros,   and that differs from doing a 'xhost + localhost' "export DISPLAY=' and running somthing    In what way? ive ran apps that way befor..
[21:52] <pmitros> dr_willis: On classic Unix systems, X listens on TCP port 6000. To connect to a machine, you'd simply "xhost +machine-name-one" to permit that machine to connect, and "export DISPLAY=machine-name-2:0.0" to tell X what machine to display to.
[21:52] <Caplain> lion_: pm me
[21:52] <fidelitysystem> mm but if trying for another computer
[21:52] <fidelitysystem> how i can do that
 how?
[21:53] <nasso> fidelitysystem, start putty and connect to 192.168.1.105
[21:53] <fidelitysystem> but that is the ip local ?
[21:53] <pmitros> dr_willis: X went unencrypted over the network. Very insecure. ssh introduced a secure way to do it. Years later, distributions started to shut off X's ability to listen on a tcp port. Normally, it is a settable flag, but Ubuntu appears to have broken it so you can't unset it.
[21:54] <R0b0t1> Does anyone have a suggestion of a grey/brown theme?
[21:54] <Hilikus> my ums mp3 player is reported by sysfs as not being removable and i cant use pmount to mount it anymore. i was able to pre 8.1. any ideas why this changed?
[21:54] <nasso> fidelitysystem, it is the local ip for the linux computer yes. if you have a router at home all computers on your network gets a local ip each. they all share one extenal ip
[21:55] <fidelitysystem> ok and if my friend wants to connecting how he can connect ?
[21:55] <nasso> fidelitysystem, the local ip can be found using ifconfig in linux and ipconfig in windows in the cmd application.
[21:55] <hunt577> Hi, I got to the screen in BIOS where I clicked on "Run Ubuntu without changing anything on my computer" but when I hit enter on that nothing ever happens, it just sort of freezes.  Tried burning the image onto another CD-R but same thing
[21:56] <fidelitysystem> but my friend can`t connect to my server because is not in my network ...
[21:56] <cconstantine_> fidelitysystem: you need to configure your router to forward to your internal IP (192.168.1.105)
[21:56] <nasso> fidelitysystem, if a friend want to connect you have to forward a port from the router to the computer with the open-ssh server. and he connects to the ip that you see if you surf to http://www.ip-adress.com/
[21:56] <rambo3> I has problem with mouting speakers
[21:57] <nasso> fidelitysystem, cconstantine_ , yeah. and you probably need to set up your dhcp-server so that 192.168.1.105 keeps that ip
[21:57] <alex_mayorga> rambo3: what's the problem?
[21:57] <fidelitysystem> whats the dhcp srever
[21:57] <jpds> !dhcp | fidelitysystem
[21:57] <cconstantine_> fidelitysystem: most likely the router
[21:58] <nasso> fidelitysystem, its a function on the router that gives computers ip-addresses. you can configure it to always give the same ip the a computer
[21:58] <guntbert> fidelitysystem: please ask in ##networking for further assistance with that
[21:58] <alex_mayorga> fidelitysystem: is the host in the network that assigns dynamic IPs to other hosts
[21:58] <fidelitysystem> ok
[21:58] <fidelitysystem> and now jeje im bother u but how i can install the apache
[21:58] <dmz> is there a web page for ubiquity? i am only finding bug reports and no real details on how it's put together anywhere
[21:59] <guntbert> fidelitysystem: sudo apt-get install apache2
[21:59] <fidelitysystem> thanks
[21:59] <jeff_> hello
[22:00] <nasso> does anyone know how to scroll in a screen session?
[22:00] <tmg1|riemann> huh, i gave the fan a spin, and it started spinning on its own. that makes some sense
[22:00] <alex_mayorga> can I install Ubuntu from Damn Small Linux?
[22:00] <dayo> nasso: irssi?
[22:00] <Limlik> Quick question, Used the usb boot option from 8.10 boot disc, all I get is Missing Operating System, any ideas?
[22:00] <mib_u8lmqz> I am at the main Ubuntu screen in BIOS right now on my Acer Aspire 6930 Lap top.  "Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer is highlighted", however, when I hit enter nothing happens and it seems to freeze
[22:00] <nasso> shift + page up doesnt work
[22:00] <nasso> dayo, no, just bash in a screen
[22:00] <jeff_> Can someone Personal Message me RE: installing Yahoo Instant Messenger for Gutsy Gibbon?
[22:01] <dayo> nasso: let me check my config file
[22:01] <matiasag> nasso: ctrl + escape, then arrows or ctrl+b, ctrl+f
[22:01] <NFischer> Ho to make a mp4 or divX out of a *.m2t file?!
[22:01] <tmg1|riemann> NFischer:  can ffmpeg do it?
[22:02] <NFischer> tmg1|riemann, i dont know which tool can do this...
[22:02] <jeff_> Can someone with Gutsy Gibbon Please PERSONAL MESSAGE ME!
[22:02] <_VIM_> !pm | jeff_
[22:02] <pmitros> So X in Intrepid seems seriously broken. TCP X forwarding doesn't work. xdmx core dumps.
[22:03] <tmg1|riemann> NFischer: ffmpeg
[22:03] <dr_Willis> pmitros,  you sure its not yet another thing the X developers 'fixed' ? ;)
[22:03] <ramukaka420> (l)
[22:03] <nasso> matiasag, i cant get that to work
[22:03] <ramukaka420> im so kool
[22:03] <guntbert> nasso: I googled that, it seems to be a thing between ubuntu and screen
[22:03] <ramukaka420> rite
[22:03] <mm1> how to start installing tv tuner card on ubuntu 8.10?
[22:03] <ramukaka420> i kno rite
[22:03] <ramukaka420> totally
[22:03] <nasso> guntbert, a bug?
[22:03] <jeff_> How Do I Install Yahoo Instant Messenger On Ubuntu 7.10 The Gutsy Gibbon???
[22:03] <Hilikus> my ums mp3 player is reported by sysfs as not being removable and i cant use pmount to mount it anymore. i was able to pre 8.1. any ideas why this changed?
[22:03] <pmitros> dr_willis: xdmx seg faulting? I'm pretty sure that's a bug. The TCP forwarding may be "fixed" -- like you do a pet.
[22:03] <_VIM_> ramukaka420: do you have a question?
[22:03] <dr_Willis> mm1,  if the proper modules are loaded.. you sould see a /dev/video0  device.
[22:04] <cyrus_mc> on the GDM login screen there is an option under sessions called Xclients. I assume this is the session you want to use if you j ust want to start up X number of applications. Question is, how do I setup up what apps to start
[22:04] <jsn> Given a loaded module, how can I determine which version it is?
[22:04] <guntbert> nasso: it seems so - or they call it a feature ;-)
[22:04] <fidelitysystem> mm installed but my friend try to connect but nothing .. how my friend can see?
[22:04] <Hilikus> jsn modinfo
[22:04] <nasso> guntbert, not being able to scroll is a feature? :P
[22:04] <mib_u8lmqz> I am at the Ubuntu Installation Screen in BIOS, and I had "Try Ubuntu Without Any Change To Your Computer" selected, I then hit enter and it seems to freeze and do nothing.  What have I done wrong?
[22:04] <mm1> dr_wills any terminal commands to cheecck  if these are installed?
[22:05] <dr_Willis> cyrus_mc,  i think your assumption is wrong.. that 'session' runs the .Xsession (or was it .Xclient) script to  learn what to run for the X  session.
[22:05] <jsn> thx, Hilikus, I'll try that right now.
[22:05] <matiasag> nasso: are you on a screen session? I always did that with ctrl+esc. Just make sure you don't press escape again because that takes you out from the copying mode.
[22:05] <_VIM_> mib_u8lmqz: did you check cd for errors?
[22:05] <nasso> yes im in a screen session. im have split the screen, that should matter, right?
[22:05] <dr_Willis> mm1,  lsmod to see what modules are loaded.. as for what ones need to be loaded.. i would google for 'your specific tv tuner card and linux '
[22:06] <C0de> Anyone elce think the wild fires in Aus are realy funny?
[22:06] <guntbert> nasso: not for me, anyway it works on other distros, and somewhere I read, that the ubuntus spoilt that...
[22:06] <mib_u8lmqz> _VIM_ it freezes when I hit enter on that option too
[22:06] <mm1> ok lemme check dr willis
[22:06] <_VIM_> !ot | C0de
[22:06] <C0de> is that a no?
[22:06] <_VIM_> mib_u8lmqz: hmm try to burn another disk at a slower speed maybe
[22:07] <matiasag> nasso: I'm sorry, the correct combination is  ctrl+a and then escape. This works until you press escape again, or the space bar twice.

[22:07] <C0de> oh i see
[22:07] <arlbee> Hi there...I have an external Windows HDD with some possible bad blocks & I want to check it. Is there a command or an app I can use in Ubuntu Hardy to do this ?

[22:10] <dr_Willis> mm1,  actually they are not 'closed - as in blocked' - there are normally no services running on them..
[22:10] <C0de> What's KDE?
[22:10] <_VIM_> Droopsta915: do you have all the codecs?

[22:11] <dr_Willis> mm1,  that may have more to do with your router then linux.
[22:11] <mm1> 'remote desktop like vnc
[22:11] <xjunior> Hi, I have an ubuntu desktop, after I remove a HD it doesn't start anymore with kernel panic
[22:11] <ScottG489> How do I mess around with what wm starts when gnome starts?
[22:11] <mm1> i checked it  its not router
[22:12] <dr_Willis> mm1,  'sudo iptables --list' shows all firewall rules.. if they are blank.. nothing is being blocked..
[22:12] <mm1> ok
[22:12] <nasso> ScottG489, check session in system->prefs
[22:12] <dr_Willis> !firewall
[22:12] <C0de> Whats the diference between ipchains and iptalbes
[22:12] <dr_Willis> C0de,  about the same as a henway
[22:13] <Diztract> hi i just installed ubuntu, i was told i dont need an anti-virus protection. Is this true?
[22:13] <Geek`N`Proud> C0de, IPTables is what is used on the newer kernel
[22:13] <_VIM_> true
[22:13] <Geek`N`Proud> Diztract, yes that is true
[22:13] <Diztract> sweet
[22:13] <benxx> hi

[22:13] <_VIM_> !virus | Diztract (read this to find out why)...
[22:13] <Diztract> does anyone know where i can go to learn more about linux?
[22:13] <Geek`N`Proud> Diztract, GNU/Linux viruses depend upon exploiting root processes to spread effectively
[22:13] <C0de> is a kernel like windows N
[22:13] <C0de> T
[22:13] <Diztract> like a linux for beginners or dummies
[22:13] <benxx> does anybody know to install aim
[22:13] <Geek`N`Proud> Diztract, so therefore they don't spread for long
[22:13] <alex_mayorga> !loco
[22:14] <Diztract> niceeeeeee
[22:14] <Geek`N`Proud> Diztract, stick around and you'll hear of new concepts
[22:14] <mm1> dr wills i get chain forward, input and output on typing iptables--list
[22:14] <dr_Willis> Diztract,  google has  10000's of sites. :)  linux is so documented.. its scary.. of course its a Huge topic also.
[22:14] <Geek`N`Proud> you can always research things you don't understand
[22:14] <Diztract> im loving this OS
[22:14] <dr_Willis> mm1,  yes.. its showuing theres no rules for those 'tables'
[22:14] <Diztract> actually i dont know anything about linux period! so i really need to know where to start
[22:14]  * jsn is not compeletely unhappy editing xorg.conf (if it works) instead of wacomcpl or xsetwacom

[22:16] <chuckc> t know what to do
[22:16] <will00> why would it be taking so long to print from a pdf?
[22:16] <mm1> yes i can c the same stuff on terminal
[22:16] <dr_Willis> mm1,  you have a 'blank' empty iptables rule set then. ie: no firewall.

[22:17] <mm1> dr wills i have got dib7700 tv tuner card
[22:17] <Diztract> tysvm all
[22:17] <dayo> will00: sudo aptitude install xpp
[22:17] <mm1> how do i start dr wills??
[22:17] <_VIM_> Diztract: here's a free ubuntu ebook http://book.opensourceproject.org.cn/distrib/ubuntu/unleashed/
[22:18] <alex_mayorga> no one in #ubuntu-locoteam ?
[22:18] <will00> dayo, does that decrease the printing time or is that a seperate application from command line?
[22:18] <Diztract> ty VIM
[22:18] <_VIM_> np
[22:18] <mm1> is there a wiki or site u can suggest for tv tuner
[22:18] <dayo> will00: separate app
[22:19] <Rodya> usb-creator isn't detecting my usb flash drive, any ideas why?
[22:19] <_VIM_> !TV | mm1
[22:19] <will00> dayo: ok ill try that for a while
[22:19] <sprinkmeier_> arlbee, Why not check it form Windows? Linux has NTFS support, but native should be better
[22:19] <dayo> will00: works better with pdfs than the default printing app
[22:19] <will00> ok
[22:19] <Diztract> ok bbl gonna go study. so much info to intake. thanks e1! :)
[22:19] <mm1> yes it is tvtuner vim
[22:20] <_VIM_> mm1 you need to read that link
[22:20] <arlbee> I don't have a Windows machine available
[22:20] <mikeee> what file controls resolution setting that i can change
[22:20] <will00> ok i did some experimenting (yes even with xpp) and it appears that the printer will only print after it has been reset
[22:20] <detrix> need some help getting fglrx to work.  when I install the ubuntu recomended package, it boots up in low graphics mode only.  I have read lots of documentation.  I Have a Radeon 9000 All-in-Wonder
[22:20] <xjunior> Hi, I have an ubuntu desktop, after I remove a HD it doesn't start anymore with kernel panic
[22:20] <LogicFan> how do you force synaptic to update in the same way that issuing apt-get update or aptitute update does?
[22:20] <_VIM_> !tv > mm1 (here's that link again)
[22:20] <sprinkmeier_> arlbee, which filesystem is it? NTFS? FAT?
[22:21] <oliver3> I have an Asus P5QL mobo with an Intel High Definition 82801JI on-board audio controller, drivers are apparently all installed and working, but I get no audio. Anyone got any tips?
[22:21] <arlbee> NTFS
[22:21] <LogicFan> sometimes when i update repos and keys via command line and then open up synaptic, the same pkgs cannot be found
[22:21] <LogicFan> even when hitting reload
[22:21] <fidelitysystem> how i can enter to my router :S
[22:22] <johnzorn> does ubuntu use a default sound system? and if so is it possible to restart it?
[22:22] <sprinkmeier_> arlbee, I usually mount NTFS read-only (which prettymuch precludes checkdisk type stuff). Personally I'd mount it RO and slurp off the data.
[22:22] <_VIM_> fidelitysystem: that's not really an Ubuntu question, but normally its http://192.168.0.1
[22:22] <LogicFan> johnzorn, yes, ALSA or pulseaudio
[22:23] <johnzorn> LogicFan, so doing a /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart should restart alsa?
[22:23] <sprinkmeier_> arlbee, usually the data is worth more than the media. If you have doubts on the disk either ditch it or make sure you have a backup copy.
[22:23] <mib_u8lmqz> _VIM_ sorry I missed your response earlier, what speed do you recommend I burn the Image at?
[22:23] <_VIM_> mib_u8lmqz: maybe 50% slower than what you had it mib_u8lmqz
[22:23] <LogicFan> johnzorn, almost, it doesn't totally unload the modules
[22:23] <mib_u8lmqz> thank you
[22:23] <tsrk> How can I find out what program is using a USB device and causing it to be inaccessible by another program?
[22:23] <LogicFan> johnzorn, do this first: sudo /sbin/alsa force-reload
[22:23] <Family> loaded ubuntu 8.04 - ndiswrapper works. can see the wireless network, network light is on (on wireless card) but cant connect to the internet. any ideas ?
[22:23] <sprinkmeier_> johnzorn, try 'fuser /dev/dsp' sometimes an app will grab audio and not share... kill the app and sound should return
[22:24] <LogicFan> johnzorn, then do the command you said to re initalize
[22:24] <LogicFan> johnzorn, and possibly killall pulseaudio if you have it running
[22:24] <arlbee> Thanks very muchSprinkmeier
[22:24] <Dillizar> a client for virtual cd??
[22:25] <johnzorn> LogicFan, Thanks that worked!
[22:25] <LogicFan> johnzorn, np :)

[22:27] <Jackalope85> I have been having a lot of trouble with wireless on my laptop.  Just installed Intrepid Ibex.  Now I cannot get my wireless card (broadcom 4306 I think) to work.  Plz help.
[22:27] <imaginativeone> what is freenas?
[22:27] <fidelitysystem> HI my friend wants to see my page but my stupid ip adress are local ...
[22:27] <xjunior> sprinkmeier_: boot from a live CD and what?
[22:28] <Jackalope85> I've been sitting here so long my back is killing me.
[22:28] <sprinkmeier_> xjunior, Just boot from it to verify that the HWis still OK. kernel panic might mean that RAM is fried or something.
[22:28] <guntbert> fidelitysystem: you will have to ask in ##networking
[22:29] <sprinkmeier_> Family, can you ping your gateway? can you resolve hostnames?
[22:29] <gablin> I'm struggling with getting wifi to work on my newly installed Samsung NC10. Anyone feel like assisting?
[22:29] <LogicFan> !wifi
 i cant ping my gateway
[22:29] <LogicFan> gablin, anything helpful in there?
[22:29] <imaginativeone> what is freenas?
[22:30] <gablin> LogicFan: Just came from there.
[22:30] <Jackalope85> The documentation hasn't helped me much.
[22:30] <nasso> fidelitysystem, check out http://portforward.com/ . you need to forward port 22 to the local ip of the computer with the ssh-server
[22:30] <Dillizar> i need a program for virtual cd! any one
[22:30] <LogicFan> imaginativeone, a special linux distro for network-attached-storage devices (NAS)
[22:30] <sprinkmeier_> Family, run 'ifconfig', 'ip route'. use pastebin for replies
[22:30] <awell> I have ebox v 0.12 installed on my server and it's working. I need an ftp service. What's the best on to use in conjunction with ebox?
[22:30] <CentHOGG> hi I've just installed XFCE on a PPC and everything is ok. The only thing is that the menus are very fast. What I mean is this. For example If I pop up the mouse-finder menu and look at what my options there are, the menu will close within 4 secs (too quick). Is there a way to set this longer or turn off the menu reset entirely? thx
[22:30] <LogicFan> gablin, do you have supported hardware or having to use something like ndiswrapper?
[22:30] <imaginativeone> LogicFan: do I need to set it up in its own box?
[22:30] <xjunior> sprinkmeier_: hummmm ok
[22:30] <LogicFan> imaginativeone, you could use virtualmachine software...
[22:30] <gablin> LogicFan: It's an Atheros 242x, I believe.
[22:31] <Family> i can see wlan0 in ifconfig with the ip address etc
[22:31] <LogicFan> but generally, a seperate machine is preferable
[22:31] <LogicFan> gablin, what card exactly?
[22:31] <gablin> LogicFan: Hold on.
[22:31] <sprinkmeier_> xjunior, sorry about vague help, but problem description isn't too speciffic. Trying to knock off the easy ones first before looking at grub config files :-)
[22:31] <Jackalope85> Someone plz help?
[22:32] <gablin> LogicFan: Atheros AR242x Wireless 802.11 b/g
[22:32] <imaginativeone> LogicFan: what I'd like to do is set up my 4 200GB hard drives in a headless box, can I do that with freenas?
[22:32] <LogicFan> gablin, i mean the manufacturer
[22:32] <stefano> hi. i've just performed an upgrade (some weeks after last one) of my 8.10 on my acer aspire one.It worked, but now when I maximize a window in gnome, the the upper part disappear. the title bar does not exist anymore, as well as the buttons for maximizing, minimizing, etc. Same thing happen with xfce. how could i solve?
[22:32] <LogicFan> imaginativeone, you can use any amount of storage with FreeNAS
[22:32] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: are you using 32bit or 64bit?.. there's a lot of tutorials for that device
[22:32] <gablin> LogicFan: I think the manufacturer of the card is Ahteros, but the computer is a Samsung.
[22:33] <imaginativeone> LogicFan: thanks very much for your help
[22:33] <LogicFan> gablin, oh, laptop
[22:33] <xjunior> sprinkmeier_: I'll take a look on memory, after you say it I remmembered that I changed the memory from slot
[22:33] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: 32-bit
[22:33] <sprinkmeier_> stefano, sounds like monitor does not support resolution, or horizontal hold is off or something....
[22:33] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: manufacturer is irrelevant, you posted the right info.
[22:33] <n8tuserf> Jackalope85 -> http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ProductID=193
[22:33] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: you have internet access other than wireless?
[22:33] <Family> sprinkmeier_>ip route = 192.168.1.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.40
[22:33] <Jackalope85> Huh?
[22:33] <sprinkmeier_> xjunior, using all the anti-static precautions? (I never do either :-)
[22:33] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: Yeah, through the cable. The only problem is that I only have one cable so I have to yank it out from this computer and insert it into the laptop... -_-
[22:34] <n8tuserf> Jackalope85 -> http://linuxfans.betaserver.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46:broadcom-guide-for-ubuntu-hardy-and-newer&catid=34:guides&Itemid=61   1st paste from wrong clipboard
[22:34] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: ok.. that really shouldn't be to big of a problem.. two more questions, are you using 8.10, and have you updated (this is a pain in the ass if you have)
[22:34] <stefano> sprinkmeier_, i can see the upper bar of the desktop environment. just the windows lose their upper frame
[22:34] <stefano> sprinkmeier_, in xfce you can see a blank space instead of the frame
[22:35] <sprinkmeier_> Family, so your wireless NIC is 192.168.1.40?
[22:35] <sprinkmeier_> Family, I'm looking for the default route, something like 'default via 192.168.1.1 dev ath0  metric 100 '
[22:35] <Dillizar> !iso
[22:35] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: I'm using the latest version of Ubuntu, meaning 8.10. Installed it just a few hours ago, and I run the package update on the whole system.
[22:35] <Jackalope85> I will check it out, but I have been pouring over all available documentation all day.  I barely know how to use linux, and I cannot get my wireless card to work.
[22:35] <xjunior> sprinkmeier_: hehehe, nop, but I know that the video board was taking some space from the memory board, so it may be the problem
[22:35] <dean> !md5
[22:35] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: honestly, i can never get that device to work on a system thats updated(I have it on 3 laptops)
[22:36] <dean> gablin
[22:36] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: youc an try ndiswrapper, but the easiest way is to install the backport modules, ut it never works on an updated system.
[22:36] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: By "that device" you mean the wireless card?
[22:36] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: yes
[22:36] <n8tuserf> sprinkmeier_ -> type  sudo ip a
 default via 192.168.1.254 dev wlan0 metric 100 (pardon me if its slow im typing from the other screen)
[22:36] <funkycat90210> when i do su - user -c 'echo $PATH", I see a different path than su - user then echo $PATH
[22:36] <funkycat90210> shouldnt they be the same?
[22:36] <dean> if it is intrepid, linux-backports-modules intrepid generic has ath5k which is atheros
[22:36] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: I've followed two tutorials, one involving some backports.
[22:36] <IndyGunFreak> dean: problem is, if he's updated, it won't work.
[22:36] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: And I've installed some ndiswrapper as well, using the Windows drivers.
[22:37] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: By now my computer should be a spaghetti mess of drivers, heh.
[22:37] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: if you had updated before you installed the backports, thats probably why it didn' twork
[22:37] <JEEBcz> Hey, has anyone gotten the latest svn of irssi to build on Ubuntu 8.10?
[22:37] <dean> ath5k drivers are included in jaunty
[22:37] <Stalker72> My router automatically assigns an IP address to Ubuntu, but not to XP (pirated). What could be the problem?
[22:37] <n8tuserf> funkycat90210 -> compare the env   command
[22:37] <Jackalope85> Is there a sure combination of drivers/etc that will run the factory wireless card in a Dell Inspiron 8500?  I'm using Intrepid, btw.
[22:37] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: Uh... Dammit.
[22:37] <ScottG489> Well when I check sessions the command that starts the window manager is gnome-wm but that doesnt tell me much. right now my main wm is compiz
[22:37] <IndyGunFreak> dean: which doesn't help much w/ intrepid
[22:37] <dean> jaunty is in alpha though
[22:37] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: when did you install?
[22:37] <kamilkalahurski> I don't have any sound on Ubuntu 8.10 although I once had
[22:37] <n8tuserf> Stalker72 -> pirates does not deserve ip addresses :P
[22:37] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: The dist? Some 2-3 hours ago.
[22:38] <Stalker72> n8tuserf: lol
[22:38] <funkycat90210> n8tuserf: will do, note that i set the path in /etc/bash_completion.d/vars which is used for suing into the user but not via the cmd, doing diff of env
[22:38] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: if it were me, i'd just reinstall... you're n ot that far into it, and reinstall, and before updating,f ollow the instructions you followed for installing the backports
[22:38] <kamilkalahurski> Could anyone help me (no sound)?
[22:38] <crdlb> ScottG489: /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager in gconf
[22:39] <n8tuserf> Stalker72 -> it should be easy though to make it work, make sure you have good cables
[22:39] <sprinkmeier_> Family, ...254 is the highest addressable IP in the subnet. It's the default default route (that's not a typo).
[22:39] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: Are there some new updates that screw up the system...? Sounds... precarious updating. =/
[22:39] <Stalker72> n8tuserf: Shall I try another cable?
[22:39] <sprinkmeier_> Family, most routers are ignorant of this and use ...1 as their address. If you have ...254 I'm wondering if your network is properly set up.
[22:39] <n8tuserf> Stalker72 -> yes, maybe you have a loose one, make sure they fit snugly
[22:40] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: no.. i'm really not sure why it causes the problem.. but if you install the backport modules first, then update, it goes fine (at least it has on all 3 fo my laptops that have that device)
[22:40] <Stalker72> n8tuserf: But Ubuntu, on the SAME PC, gets an IP address instantly..
[22:40] <Stalker72> n8tuserf: I've had an Internet connection on my XP before last week.
[22:40] <n8tuserf> Stalker72 -> perhaps you can tell us what is your network layout like, describe in details what is connected to what? what devices are there?
[22:40] <gilda> there was the minor issue with ibex64 bit and flash/ wine not sure if thats still affecting sound
[22:40] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: Hah, that's really strange. Oh well, guess I'll just have to try that. First install, then backports modules, and then update. Got it. Thanks for the help, but I think I'll try that tomorrow.
[22:41] <dean> is there a windows version of the open source dhclient
[22:41] <Family> sprinkmeier_>the network is already up and running, im just trying to connect to it. I get internet from the landlord next door and the windows machine (this that im on) works ok. sorry for any miscommunication
[22:41] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: hang on, i'll get you the instructions...
[22:41] <fidelitysystem> whats the name of the channel network :?
[22:41] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: What instructions...?
[22:41] <crdlb> fidelitysystem: freenode?
[22:41] <Stalker72> n8tuserf: http://games.dlink.com/products/?pid=643&#DGL-4500 .. that is my router
[22:41] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: oh thats right, you already have installed from the backporst, never mind
[22:41] <dean> fidelitysystem: irc.freenode.net channel #ubuntu
[22:41] <fidelitysystem> mm i dont know something ##network
[22:41] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: Got them from http://unsharptech.com/2008/10/31/atheros-wireless-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex/
[22:41] <fidelitysystem> i dont know
[22:42] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: the instructions you followed, they  mentioned disabling the restricted driver, etc
[22:42] <Stalker72> n8tuserf: One other PC is connected to the router. Internet works on it.
[22:42] <crdlb> fidelitysystem: oh, ##networking
[22:42] <n8tuserf> Stalker that dont describe your network layout.. please clarify
[22:42] <sprinkmeier_> Family, Can you compare network settings between windows and ubuntu machine? (same DNS, same router, same subnet...)
[22:42] <Family> sprinkmeier_>when i do ipconfig /all in xp i get that gateway ip so i put it in
[22:42] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: yeah, those are right, follow those instructions
[22:42] <awell> What is a good ftp server to use with my ubuntu server?
[22:42] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: Ok. A new day, a new attempt at Ubuntu! Thanks. =)
[22:43] <CentHOGG> hi I've just installed XFCE on a PPC and everything is ok. The only thing is that the menus are very fast. What I mean is this. For example If I pop up the mouse-finder menu and look at what my options there are, the menu will close within 4 secs (too quick). Is there a way to set this longer or turn off the menu reset entirely? thx
[22:43] <n8tuserf> Stalker72 -> ubuntu host attached to such router via ethernet works okay?
[22:43] <IndyGunFreak> gablin: np. like i said, as long as you do that before updating, and you're using 32bit, you shoudl be fine.. i've never had a prob w/ it
[22:43] <n8tuserf> awell -> proftpd
[22:43] <Stalker72> n8tuserf: Ubuntu's internet works OK. Not XP's internet.
[22:43] <awell> Does proftp work with ebox?
[22:43] <sprinkmeier_> Family, So ubuntu didn't auto-configure (using DHCP orr the gateway, which I assumeis how Windows did it)?
[22:43] <sprinkmeier_> s/orr/off/
[22:43] <gilda> Family~ can you ping your gateway ?
[22:43] <Stalker72> n8tuserf: The router doesn't assign XP an IP address, only Ubuntu.
[22:44] <gablin> IndyGunFreak: Let us hope so. This is my third attempt at Linux. I'm hoping this one will last.
[22:44] <Jackalope85> Was intrepid a mistake for running an older broadcom wireless card?
cant ping the gateway
[22:44] <n8tuserf> Stalker72 -> well you can check temporarily, borrow same ethernet cable from ubuntu and plug it in to the XP hosts and see if it works
[22:44] <sprinkmeier_> Stalker72, I've said that for years...
[22:44] <n8tuserf> Jackalope85 -> broadcom chips are well known to make you loose hair when using with linux..
[22:45] <Stalker72> n8tuserf: I dualboot XP and Ubuntu. I'm talking about the same PC.
[22:45] <brunner> is there an application I can use to detect a certain frequency or a modem carrier in a wave file?
[22:45] <sprinkmeier_> Family, sounds like problem is lower down, i.e. not even connecting at layer 1/2.
[22:45] <sprinkmeier_> Family, WPA? WEP? WPA2?
[22:45] <Accesshater> Can sombody help me with nvidia drivers? I have a nvidia 8600M GT, and my xorg.conf is broken. I tried to run sudo nvidia-xconfig a couple of times but it didnt help. I also tried to run xfix in recovry mode. The problem occurs if i try to install the 177 driver. I should never have tried the driverfrom the nvidia site =(.
[22:45] <Jackalope85> N8tuserf - the laptop is a Dell I8500.  I don't think I can just rip the card out.  Am I going to be stuck trying to get/use an external card?
[22:45] <CentHOGG> xfce anyone?
[22:45] <n8tuserf> Stalker72 -> you do know this is ubuntu help channel, for windows you really need to visit #windows..but, anyhow it should be just plug n play, check your xp settings
[22:46] <dean> Xp doesn't support WPA2
[22:46] <piplite> hello all
[22:46] <n8tuserf> Jackalope85 -> i gave you a link earlier..they have a solution..
[22:46] <piplite> any ideas where i can talk about mobile phones ?
[22:46] <kamilkalahurski> how to set up network connection under kubuntu ?
[22:46] <Accesshater> voor wpa in xp you could install securew2
thats where im clueless. xp has WPA-PSK whats the equivalent for ubuntu?
[22:46] <Accesshater> wpa2*
[22:46] <Jackalope85> N8tuserf - besides, the laptop is 5 years old.  BTW - I checked out the link.  They don't appear to have the solution.
[22:47] <n8tuserf> dean depends on the driver you use with your wifi... therefore all wireless is driver dependent
[22:47] <sprinkmeier_> Family, WPA PSK is "pre-shared key", that's problaby the mode you should be using.
[22:47] <n8tuserf> Jackalope85 -> you can try to use ndiswrapper
[22:47] <sprinkmeier_> Family, Ubuntu should automagically pop up a dialog asking you for the "PSK". Unless it does that there's no point going further.
[22:48] <Jackalope85> N8tuserf - I've been reading documentation like that all day.  Hasn't helped at all.  I tried using NDSwrapper, but maybe the driver I used was junk.  I'll try another one.
[22:48] <piplite> any ideas where i can talk about mobile phones ?
[22:48] <sprinkmeier_> Family, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
[22:48] <n8tuserf> Jackalope85 -> broadcom chips are infamous for difficult to make work, you were not the first..
[22:48] <gmap> hello, how do I dial into a GPRS USB Modem
[22:49] <Plugh> I finally figured out how to get Ubuntu 6.06 booting reliably with my new computer. The auto notification thing is telling me that 8.0.4.1 is available. How safe is it for me to jump from 6.06 to 8.04.1?
i see the network its name etc at 54% its just the choice of wep hexadecimal etc that makes me clueless
[22:49] <Jackalope85> N8tuserf - I am starting to realize that.  I should have known, but I bought it 5+ years ago.
[22:49] <dean> Plugh: should be safe
[22:49] <Plugh> I can (and will) backup the 6.06 partition before attempting the update. Last time I tried it, it didn't go so well but I had to do part of it manually.
[22:49] <Plugh> dean, ok thanks.
[22:49] <sprinkmeier_> Plugh, a lot safer than staying at 6.06 :-) try a live CD first to make sure HW is supported
[22:50] <Jackalope85> N8tuserf - thanx.  I guess I'll get out of your hair.
[22:50] <n8tuserf> Jackalope85 -> the only thing i can really suggest is keep working on that ndiswrapper
[22:50] <Plugh> sprinkmeier_: I have a partition with 8.04 and it boots. Due to how I managed to do the update from 6.06 the GUI is very unstable. With 6.06 booting properly, I'm hoping things will go more smoothly this time.
[22:51] <n8tuserf> Jackalope85 -> or get an external wifi card, pcmcia perhaps
[22:51] <sprinkmeier_> Family, What happens iff you try to connect to the network? Do you get the WPA prompt?
[22:51] <xjunior> sprinkmeier_:
 ubuntu has WEP hexadecimal/WEP ascii/WPA personal/WPA2 personal
[22:51] <n8tuserf> Plugh -> may i suggest doing a fresh install instead of upgrade, many people experience issues with upgrading
[22:52] <sprinkmeier_> WEP is worthless, and you're not using it anyway. Try WPA personal, it's what Windows seeks to be using (WPA-PSK). WPA2 is better but not always supported.
[22:52] <xjunior> sprinkmeier_: http://paste.milk-it.net/1065
[22:52] <ktebit> ust for giggles, I'm going to reboot this box into Ubuntu.  Apparently there is a new version?  Jaunty Jaybird or something?
[22:53] <graingert> ktebit-> no not het
[22:53] <n8tuserf> ktebit jaunty if far too new
[22:54] <Pici> !jaunty
[22:54] <Dante123> hey all, I am on a dell inspiron 1300 and when I ran hardware drivers from livecd it detected the broadcomm 43 wireless driver-  now after I installed ubuntu- it doesn't detect it anymore and wireless is no go although it shows up under iwconfig
[22:55] <Dante123> Any suggestions?
[22:55] <sprinkmeier_> xjunior, at first glance looks like the grub config file is either missing or pointing at something that's missing. HDD's should be identified by UUID (univerally unique ID), so removing an unused HDD shouldn't matter. If you're addressing by /dev/sd??? then you might have to rewrite the grub config file.
[22:55] <Dante123> Could the driver be blacklisted??
[22:56] <imaginativeone> is this what I want to do with freenas?
[22:56] <imaginativeone> - put it on its own headless box
[22:56] <imaginativeone> - use ANOTHER box for ubuntu
[22:56] <imaginativeone> - use the ubuntu box for CD/peripherals/etc
[22:57] <imaginativeone> - use the hard drive box for storage?
[22:57] <simplex> yes
[22:57] <FarmCretin> hey all, will it damage my system if i put my HDD into my new computer? or do i have to reinstall the OS?
[22:57] <Plugh> n8tuserf: I can't do a fresh install. It wants to write to my partition table. It shouldn't need to do that. I don't want to risk it messing up my 11 partitions.
[22:57] <simplex> depends
[22:57] <n8tuserf> Dante123 -> while in livecd do you recall the name of that driver? maybe you need to boot back tolivecd and see what it is and where within /lib/modules/`uname r`/  its located?
[22:57] <ScottG489> crdlb: Thanks. Sorry for the slow response im at work
[22:57] <Izinucs> FarmCretin: go for it
[22:58] <ScottG489> crdlb: The windowmanager is metacity
[22:58] <Dante123> is is broadcomm bw43fwcutter or something like that
[22:58] <ktebit> ubuntu's website still has intrepid listed
[22:58] <ktebit> where the heck is the new one
[22:58] <ScottG489> crdlb: Where does conky override it?
[22:58] <ktebit> t hasn't been any where close to 6 months
[22:58] <FarmCretin> Izinucs:  does that mean you know it wont hurt, or go for it an see what happens?
[22:58] <simplex> farmcretin: yeah. It shouldnt hurt the os but, it probably wont work
[22:58] <sprinkmeier_> FarmCretin, BACKUP!!
[22:58] <simplex> farmcretin: Live dangerously! Dont backup
[22:58] <n8tuserf> Plugh -> depends on how you are doing the install, you have a choice to manually select the destination partition for install
[22:58] <imaginativeone> ktebit: why would ubuntu's web site have intrepid listed?
[22:58] <ktebit> ubuntu's website still has intrepid listed
[22:59] <crdlb> ScottG489: conky doesn't override anything
[22:59] <ktebit> because its the case?
[22:59] <imaginativeone> ktebit: why wouldn't ubuntu's web site have intrepid listed?
[22:59] <Dante123> ﻿n8tuserf ﻿s is broadcomm bw43fwcutter or something like that
[22:59] <ktebit> where the heck is the new one
[22:59] <ktebit> ?
[22:59] <FarmCretin> its all backed up. im not worried about losing the data, its that my build doesnt have integrated or card graphics and i dont want to buy a new one for a server....
[22:59] <simplex> Do games played in wine have lower performance?
[22:59] <Plugh> n8tuserf: I do manual partitioning, tell it what to use for root and boot and it still always says at the end that it will be updating the partition table. Even though I just told it to use existing partitions.
[22:59] <Dante123> ﻿n8tuserf could it be blacklisted
[22:59] <savvas> FarmCretin: I would try and run it, the only problem I can think of when I upgraded from amd K7 32-bit motherboard to intel 64-bit dual core was a problem with the nvidia graphics driver, which was fixed with an upgrade of the package :)
[23:00] <n8tuserf> Dante123 -> now see if that exist on the new install you have
[23:00] <ktebit> so?
[23:00] <ktebit> where the heck is the new one?
[23:00] <xjunior> sprinkmeier_: how can I do it? booting on a livecd and...?
[23:00] <n8tuserf> Dante123 -> it can be not even be installed or loaded
[23:00] <ben34> I am looking to change to wireless N which is the cheapest support solution, (I am in the UK)
[23:00] <person> simplex: Than the same game played in Windows or than an equivalent game in Linux?
[23:00] <elmaschulo> hellow, guys is anybody following the DreamLinux countdown?
[23:00] <person> simplex: I have no idea by the way
[23:00] <savvas> FarmCretin: a backup is a good idea however, if you have sensitive data
[23:00] <lion_> can anyone suggest me what should I do to stop blinking screen while video output
[23:00] <Plugh> DreamLinux countdown? Never heard of it.
[23:00] <simplex> person: the same game obviously
[23:01] <lepassive2> Hi i've  HP laserjet 6p and I 'm trying to get it working ??
[23:01] <ktebit> ubuntu's website still has intrepid listed?
[23:01] <ktebit> where the heck is the new one????
[23:01] <sprinkmeier_> xjunior, ... mount the local drives, look at the files (this is darn difficult to do remotely like this :-(
[23:01] <meho_r> what new, ktebit?
[23:01] <xjunior> sprinkmeier_: that's ok, I'll take a look
[23:01] <elmaschulo> www.dreamlinux.com.br
[23:01] <Dante123> ﻿n8tuserf there is a broadcom folder under /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-19-generic/include/config
[23:01] <amaurea> should the mesa packages be installed if one uses the nvidia driver?
[23:02] <Dante123> ﻿n8tuserf you think I need to modprobe???
[23:02] <Plugh> Yet another Linux distro
[23:02] <lion_> no, I'm using ati
[23:02] <meho_r> elmaschulo: oh, new dreamlinux. Nice:) Thanks
[23:02] <Laeborg> restart alsa = sudo alsa reload ?
[23:03] <ben34> Any suggestions for any solution for wireless N on ubuntu
[23:03] <navetz_> where can i find an ip nuker?
[23:03] <sprinkmeier_> xjunior, can you drag the PC to a local LUG? you should be able to find someone there who can help.
[23:03] <graingert> ben34-> it just works
[23:03] <amaurea> navetz_: what would that be?
[23:03] <Plugh> If I can free up one of my Ubuntu partitions, I may give DreamLinux a try out of curiousity
[23:03] <xjunior> sprinkmeier_: LUG?
[23:03] <navetz_> amaurea: send massive amounts of packets to some up
[23:03] <ben34> graingert: do you have a wireless n card, if so which one
[23:04] <sprinkmeier_> xjunior, Linux User Group
[23:04] <amaurea> navetz_: ping could do that, I guess
[23:04] <meho_r> it's live cd, Plugh ;)
[23:04] <Plugh> gotta reboot to back up some partitions before attempting to go from 6.06 to 8.04 again.
[23:04] <fidelitysystem_> mm somebody help me my friend wants to see my page but configure the port 80 etc. but nothing :???
[23:04] <graingert> ben34-> the intel one iwl
[23:04] <hanasaki> what causes packages to be "kept back" when doing an safe-upgrade?
[23:04] <Plugh> meho_r, True. I can always go that route to check it out.
[23:04] <Dante123> ﻿n8tuserf any suggestions???
[23:04] <meho_r> I tried v.3 and liked it:)
[23:04] <Plugh> bbl
[23:05] <lion_> overlay blinks.. is it normal?
[23:05] <satch5150> hi all, Im back again :)
[23:05] <n8tuserf> Plugh -> you're referring to the grub writing to mbr, you dont have to install grub if you want to use the existing one
[23:05] <n8tuserf> Dante123 -> look in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/
[23:05] <n8tuserf> Dante123 -> or look in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu/
[23:06] <n8tuserf> Dante123 -> i lost my link..what was the question?
[23:06] <Plugh> n8tuserf: I told it not to install grub. It still wants to update the partition table.
[23:06] <mcphail> hanasaki: they are kept back if they need to pull in new packages with the upgrade
[23:07] <Frenchie> I have automatic updates turned on both for download and install is there a way to see the recent updates that have been installed on my system?
[23:07] <n8tuserf> Plugh -> i dont know, definitely your /etc/fstab have to be updated
[23:07] <satch5150> upgraded from 7.04 -> 7.10 finally, then started to upgrade to 8.04 - everything was going great until half thru the installation of the new packages, got some erros abotu apparmor, mysqld wouldn't restart, then it said upgrades couldn't be installed
[23:07] <Dante123> ﻿n8tuserf there is a broadcom folder under /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-19-generic/include/config
[23:07] <SuperMoopies> How do you install lm-sensors ?
[23:07] <SuperMoopies> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2780
[23:07] <SuperMoopies> is no help
[23:07] <Plugh> n8tuserf: my /etc/fstab is already correct.
[23:07] <satch5150> no the question is
[23:07] <satch5150> what didn't get upgraded
[23:08] <satch5150> and how bad will it be when the system restarts as is :)
[23:08] <n8tuserf> Dante123 -> you are looking at the source directory, not whats in your current modules path
[23:08] <Plugh> oh, well. dinner is ready. backups and update attempt will have to wait.
[23:08] <Droopsta915> How do I overwrite a dvd rw, or what program can I use to do so?
[23:08] <satch5150> I ran apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and it only upgraded one package
[23:09] <satch5150> so, what do I do now ? :)
[23:09] <dustin> how can i open/run a .run file with synaptic package manager to install/run it?
[23:09] <Dante123> ﻿n8tuserf i do not see it in either place you mentioned
[23:10] <n8tuserf> Dante123 -> then it is not even loaded at boot then..
[23:10] <satch5150> anyone ?
[23:10] <mcphail> dustin: ".run" files will not be handled by the package manager
[23:10] <dustin> heh, trying to google problems and thats the only lead i got.. how can i run it? D:
[23:11] <mcphail> dustin: first, do you trust it?
[23:11] <dustin> yea
[23:11] <Dante123> ﻿n8tuserf well, I try going back into restricted drivers and it says there are none on my system (so there is no place to enable the broadcom driver) however under livecd it did detect it
[23:11] <mcphail> dustin: it will probably be a shell script. Open a terminal and type "chmod +x file.run"
[23:11]  * satch5150 is desperate and will consider any suggestions, no matter how insane
[23:12] <mcphail> dustin: then run it with "./file.run"
[23:12] <npodges> where is Trash:/// actually located?
[23:12] <Dante123> ﻿n8tuserf maybe I will try reinstalling....
[23:12] <n8tuserf> Dante123 -> to enable the modules, it needs to be in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/
[23:12] <n8tuserf> so copy it over
[23:12] <sprinkmeier_> npodges, .Trash
[23:13] <jjlee> satch5150: what are you trying to do?
[23:13] <ubuntu_> when i install ubuntu, how can i install grub to a seperate 50 mb partition?
[23:13] <npodges> on 9.04 alpha? because .Trash doesnt exist.
[23:13] <mcphail> dustin: if it complain about needing root priveleges, use "sudo ./file.run"
[23:13] <satch5150> upgrade from 7.10 server -> 8.04
[23:13] <satch5150> went well until I got installation errors with apparomor and mysqld
[23:13] <dustin> mcphail: its running now, ty :)
[23:14] <satch5150> then it said upgrades couldn't be installed
[23:14] <satch5150> and halted
[23:14] <mcphail> dustin: np
[23:14] <crdlb> npodges: at some point it moved to ~/.local/share/Trash
[23:14] <satch5150> was using do-upgrade-release btw
[23:14] <dustin> < newb to linux, learning :)
[23:14] <npodges> thanks!
[23:15]  * satch5150 even tried killing himself, but the gun jammed :(
[23:15] <mcphail> dustin: these ".run" files are non-standard. Try to stick to the repos as much as possible
[23:15] <ScottG489> crdlb: So then if gnome is setting metacity as the wm how is conky running on boot?
[23:15] <littlewookie> hey, i've got a bluetooth headset, and i added it to the asoundrc, it works with skype if i set the profile, but how can i chose this profile with other programms that don't accept these settings, can i set the whole output to the headset?
[23:15] <crdlb> ScottG489: conky is not a window manager?
[23:15] <ScottG489> crdlb: I thought it was. What is it then?
[23:16] <ScottG489> crdlb: sry ive been meaning to say compiz*
[23:16] <dustin> alright
[23:16] <ScottG489> :(
[23:16] <littlewookie> crdlb: conky is a screen monitor for various informations
[23:16] <crdlb> ScottG489: a little system monitor window
[23:16] <jjlee> satch5150: could try uninstalling all multiverse packages then running apt-get dist-upgrade
[23:16] <ScottG489> im working with both right now lol. so if i never say conky i meant compiz
[23:16] <jjlee> satch5150: since you asked for random suggestions.  Don't assume I know what I'm talking about, though :-)
[23:16] <sprinkmeier_> ubuntu_, choose 'manually setup partitions" and create a "/boot" partition. Use more than 100MB, the partition has to hold all the Linux kernels and disk space  is cheap.
[23:17] <satch5150> lol
[23:17] <satch5150> my next question, how would I do that ? :)
[23:17] <crdlb> ScottG489: if compiz is starting, there must be some autostart entry doing it
[23:18] <ScottG489> crdlb: Yea. I think I need to stop metacity from starting and then start compiz. and then tell all my programs that run on start to wait like 10-15 secs to wait for compiz and then start
[23:18] <ubuntu_> sprinkmeier_: is it fine if i just used 100 mb for /boot partition
[23:18] <ScottG489> crdlb: compiz handels their placement and they get placed weird on startup probably because compiz hasnt started yet
[23:18] <greatbitbucket> Hello everyone!
[23:19] <crdlb> ScottG489: as a workaround, you can just make them sleep beforehand, I guess
[23:19] <jjlee> satch5150: somewhere I have a script to list & maybe uninstall / install packages...
[23:19] <satch5150> let me go about this from a different direction, the storage drives on this server are striped together in a software raid array - if I were to wipe the drive with the os on it, could I preserve the data on the raid array (i.e. wouldn't have to rebuild the array) ? and if so, how ?
[23:20] <Louis> How can I get Ubuntu to run a full check of each filesystem at startup?
[23:21] <ubuntu_> Louis: add entries to /etc/fstab
[23:21] <satch5150> that way I could just do a full installation of intrepid and be done with it
[23:21] <ubuntu_> i think
[23:21] <Louis> ubuntu_:  which entries do i add?
[23:21] <sprinkmeier_> ubuntu_, should be fine unless you go on a kernel shopping spree :-) my point is that at less than1c/MB you might as well be generous
[23:21] <ubuntu_> erm, find a guide how to edit /etc/fstab
[23:22] <ubuntu_> sprinkmeier_: i just redid my partitions again and just gave it 300 mb
[23:22] <ubuntu_> better safe than sorry :)
[23:22] <sprinkmeier_> Louis, 'sudo touch /forcefsck ; sudo reboot' USUAL WARNING ABOUYT RUNNING COMMANDS OFF THE 'net WITH SUDO IN THEM!!!
[23:22] <oskar-> Louis, do you want that once or every timeß
[23:22] <Louis> oskar-  every time
[23:22] <Louis> sprinkmeier_ :  i add that line to fstab?
[23:22] <Louis> or is that a command?
[23:23] <g[r]eek> Hi all. I cannot hear any sound on youtube videos (mp3's and downloaded movies work just fine though; it's only youtube videos). Using firefox 3 and Ubuntu. It works on my other PC though, same setup.
[23:23] <sprinkmeier_> Louis, it's a command. /forcefsck is a flag file checked in ec.local, it forces a checkdisk on boot.
[23:23] <Louis> sprinkmeier_:  Okay thanks.  And it makes the change permanent, right?
[23:24] <ubuntu_> thanks sprinkmeier_
[23:24] <sprinkmeier_> Louis, No. /forcefsck is removed when boot finishes. You could add the 'touch' line to /etc/rc.local.   Why check every time?
[23:24] <ubuntu_> i'm redoing all my partitions to be more organized as in seperate boot loader, seperate home folder, etc.
[23:24] <fidelitysystem_> how can i install pico ??
[23:25] <Louis> sprinkmeier_:  it's a server with an average uptime of a few weeks, so i figured it wouldn't hurt
[23:25] <usser> fidelitysystem_, pico is proprietary use nano
[23:25] <oskar-> Louis, shutdown -F   may be also interesting, if you also work with other distributions
[23:25] <usser> fidelitysystem_, and it should be included by default
[23:25] <sprinkmeier_> Louis, Fair enough..... I thought it might be dodgy HW, in which case I'd recommend getting new disks and saving yourself the hearache.
[23:26] <Guitarbandit90> Huh, this is my first time using Ubuntu. Pretty retro. :D
[23:26] <Guitarbandit90> I like it.
[23:26] <jjlee> satch5150: what devices have you striped?  whole disks?
[23:26] <Louis> sprinkmeier_:  haha yeah i had an I/0 disaster a while ago... I'm all about buying new hardware when the old stuff flakes now...
[23:26] <Guitarbandit90> Heh.
[23:27] <Guitarbandit90> Any good games for Ubuntu?
[23:27] <graingert> Guitarbandit90-> try emulators
[23:28] <oskar-> !games > Guitarbandit90
[23:28] <Guest88690> Guitarbandit90: yeah...its called install and reinstall and reinstall again ... :)
[23:28] <LogicFan> Guitarbandit90, also, seach google for "top linux games"
[23:28] <LogicFan> there's a bunch
[23:28] <Guitarbandit90> Alright, thanks. :D
[23:28] <Louis> sprinkmeier_:  so just to be clear.  if I add "touch /forcefsck" to /etc/rc.local it will run fsck at every boot?
[23:28] <LogicFan> !games > LogicFan
[23:28] <mikeshollen> Would someone please help me with my wireless card?  I reformatted my computer and tried to install it the same way but for some reason the driver isn't installing properly. I'm running ubuntu hardy 8.04 with a broadcom rtl8185 wifi card.  Here's what happened when I tried to install the card http://pastebin.com/me34d816
[23:28] <Guest88690> anyone using VM like with qemu, kvm, or virtualbox on 8.10?
[23:29] <LogicFan> i use virtualbox
[23:29] <graingert> Guest88690-> virtualbox-cse works well
[23:29]  * MellowDude slaps _adele_ around a bit with a big slimy trout.
[23:30] <Guest88690> how did you get it...all I can see in synaptic is OSE, no gui....if i get the .deb file from sun....crashes my kernel
[23:30] <Guest88690> but on the upside the gui works
[23:30] <graingert> Guest88690-> you need to get the repo
[23:30] <graingert> Guest88690-> from sun
[23:30] <ScottG489> crdlb: Yea, I don't really get how ubuntu's "sessions" autostarts things though
[23:30] <fidelitysystem_> excuse im install apache but where i can put my files of my page ?
[23:32] <Louis> I read somewhere that changing the last "1" at the end of a partition's line in fstab will make ubuntu run fsck at boot... is this right?
[23:32] <Guest88690> graingert: is there a handy dandy howto on that one?
[23:32] <graingert> Guest88690-> on suns weby stie
[23:32] <imemine> just bought a GA-EP45T-DS3R (review at phoronix a couple of months ago... http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=gigabyte_p45_mobos&num=1 ) and now I'm trying to install intrepid on it... only I can't... the cd won't boot (works on another computer, so nothing wrong with the cd)... has any one had any trouble booting from a ide drive on a similar mb?
[23:33] <graingert> Guest88690-> http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
[23:33] <Guest88690> graingert: you mean this?  Debian-based Linux distributions: Add one of the following lines according to your distribution to your /etc/apt/sources.list
[23:34] <graingert> Guest88690-> yeah
[23:34] <orci> hi all, I have 8.04 on a desktop, if I edit the sources.list and replace hardy with intrepid, and do a apt-get dist-upgrade, would that work?
[23:34] <Guest88690> k..thanks....I had to reinstall ubuntu again...LOL
[23:34] <Guest88690> its almost ready now
[23:34] <Janos> having a problem with pulseaudio, hav two sound cards, on board intel and an audigy 2, while using pulseaudio everything works great with the intel card but i get no sound on my audigy, if i use alsa everything works with both cards, anyone have any idea why this could be ?
[23:34] <graingert> Guest88690-> Note: Ubuntu users might want to install the dkms package (not available on Debian) to ensure that the VirtualBox host kernel modules (vboxdrv and vboxnetflt) are properly updated if the linux kernel version changes during the next apt-get upgrade.
[23:35] <Guest88690> gotcha
[23:35] <Guest88690> I still have to do the first system updates before I try it
[23:35] <Guest88690> but we are almost there
[23:35] <awell> Frustrated. How do I ftp into my webserver so I can add pages to my website?
[23:35] <Guest88690> again!!11
[23:35] <Charliehorse> i am having a problem. Full deatails here. What should I do? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1083161
[23:37] <Guest88690> graingert:  any ideas why when I do a sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade it never finds the kernel updates...I have to go through the update manager for those...np...just weird
[23:38] <Janos> having a problem with pulseaudio, hav two sound cards, on board intel and an audigy 2, while using pulseaudio everything works great with the intel card but i get no sound on my audigy, if i use alsa everything works with both cards, anyone have any idea why this could be ?
[23:39] <Chewy> hi all
[23:40] <Chewy> quick question...I am about to do my 50th install of ubuntu (dont ask), and I dont have access to an ethernet cable this time around to get my atheros card working after running the good old: "sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic"
[23:40] <graingert> Chewy-> apt on cd?
[23:41] <Chewy> I am wondering if I can run it any other way? I was told it would run right off the cd but I cant get sudo apt-get to recognise it
[23:41] <lucax> any one has any idea how to make global menu work with firefox and openoffice?
[23:41] <Tuxprobe> hay allz
[23:41] <Chewy> graingert, I think that sounds right but im not sure how to do it. I found the package and tried to run it but it has other dependencies and wouldnt let me proceed by doing it through the GUI
[23:42] <graingert> Chewy-> ok
[23:42] <Charliehorse> i have a weird problem when using a mounted HFS+ drive. Any file i can copy to desktop, will then open, but If I try to open it directly from the drive it will crash the program trying to open the file
[23:42] <Tuxprobe> my little server-box has troubles putting discs on ice so id like to place '/var' in memory as squashfs un-/-squashed on initlvl's
[23:42] <Tuxprobe> but apt-get stores all its files in /var/cache/apt - any ways to reconfigure aptitude perhaps?
[23:43] <zash> Tuxprobe: tmpfs?
[23:43] <zash> Tuxprobe: and /var/cache/apt could be a symlink to somewhere else
[23:43] <Tuxprobe> zash what, as environment var?
[23:43] <satch5150> jjlee: sorry, was afk, yes, I've striped 2 whole 250 GB disks
[23:43] <zash> Tuxprobe: no mount -t tmpfs
[23:43] <zash> Tuxprobe: tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,noatime,size=512m)
[23:44] <Chewy> could you tell me exactly what I would need to do? what i have done in the past is used the cd as a source in the GUI... then gone to terminal and "sudo apt-get update" and then "sudo apt-get install ... etc"   but that returns an error
[23:44] <oskar-> Charliehorse, you can run the program from console with "strace" in front (you first have to install it). that might get you nearer to the cause of the error
[23:44] <Tuxprobe> zash ah well ok, was going for ramfs in stead - but i think its about the same
[23:44] <miso> hi, i have last kernel from git build with make-kpkg , and want to build lirc modules (on intrepid) from lirc-modules-source with dkms, but i have a problem with running dkml build ..., any advice for me  ?
[23:45] <Dillizar> what is the command line to run root
[23:45] <Tuxprobe> zash going to create a ramdrive in initial runlevel and un-squash the previous image of '/var'
[23:45] <Chewy> Dillizar, "sudo"
[23:45] <zykes-> anyone here know if nfs has some "max clients" limit or so on version 2 ?
[23:45] <temperature> I updated from 8.04TLS to 8.10 and the "sensors"  command shows 10° higher temperatures. Why is that?
[23:45] <Tuxprobe> but my problem lies in 200+MB of apt-get data
[23:45] <Guest88690> I hate our new Dell laptops
[23:46] <zash> Tuxprobe: cool
[23:46] <Dillizar> Chewy, it was smt like sudo x
[23:46] <jjlee> satch5150: sounds unlikely, but I don't know
[23:46] <Chewy> :)
[23:46] <Tuxprobe> zash with squash i dump it on every shutdown/halt and save my old logs etc
[23:46] <Guest88690> they are so flaky...the post is either instantaneous or it takes like 2 minutes...nothing in between....stupid Dell laptop E6500
[23:46] <satch5150> kinda screwed then huh ? :-)
[23:47] <Chewy> so can anyone tell me how I can set up apt-get to install the backports package from the cd so I dont have to connect ethernet to get my wireless working?
[23:47] <cs_student> Whats a good html editor for linux with syntax highlighting, auto-indenting, etc.?
[23:47] <Guest88690> emacs or vi
[23:47] <Guest88690> vim...sorry
[23:48] <Charliehorse> how do i run totem from command line?
[23:48] <Dillizar> what is the command line to run as root
[23:48] <Tuxprobe> zash guess i _could_ symlink the apt folder but imo there should be a configuration directive .o.O
[23:48] <Charliehorse> Dillizar: sudo
[23:48] <Chewy> Charliehorse, just type "totem" if you dont want any particular movie playing
[23:49] <Dillizar> Charliehorse, you dont understand i want to delete smt and i must be in as root
[23:49] <Charliehorse> i got this error:http://www.mibbit.com/pb/puFkV8
[23:49] <Chewy> so   last call to help me out? noone can tell me how to get apt-get to update the backports package from the cd after an install?
[23:50] <lun4tic> hi
[23:50] <Chewy> Dillizar: go to terminal, type "sudo rm /*path" where *path is the actual path of what you want to delete
[23:50] <wad> Setting up my first Ubuntu box, but I've got a question: The taskbar is only showing apps running on the current side of the desktop cube. I need to be able to ALT-TAB through all of them, whatever desktop they are on. Is this possible?
[23:50] <Chewy> but before you do that, if you dont know waht your doing or using an option, use ls first to show you what files will be deleted next
[23:51] <lun4tic> anyone familiar with tomcat6 and eclipse (ganymede) under ubuntu(intrepid)?
[23:52] <Charliehorse> i got this error while trying to play a song file in totem off of an HFS+ mounted drive
[23:52] <Charliehorse> i got this error:http://www.mibbit.com/pb/puFkV8
[23:52] <sapage> how can you force apt-get to upgrade amarok to a newer version?
[23:52] <zash> sapage: apt-gte upgrade ?
[23:53] <lun4tic> eclipse seems to need allof tomcat in a single directory. otherwise it complains about missing files. is there any way i can "tell" eclipse that tomcat6 is in the ubuntu directory structure or do i have to symlink all of the directorys in one single install directory?
[23:53] <sapage> zash: i want a new version than in apt-get
[23:54] <zash> sapage: you cant (with apt-get) install a version that is not in repos
[23:54] <Tuxprobe> hang on, got it :) (/usr/share/doc/apt/examples/configure-index.gz
[23:54] <zash> unless you add a repo, install from source or some package
[23:55] <sapage> zash: ok thanks
[23:56] <ookz> Can anyone suggest a book for me to learn Linux/Unix Terminal?
[23:57] <Guest55893> the linux users guide

[23:58] <fiantres> quick question: does xen server REQUIRE a processor with hardware-based virtualization support?
