[00:02] <Schwag> im trying to use pppconfig for a phone as a modem, using lsusb reads my iden motorola modem, but i cant select it to use with pppconfig
[00:02] <ZykoticK9> jgood, so you don't see Ubuntu with an orange line moving back and forth after you press ENter on Install?  can you use the arrows up and down?  what happens if you select Try Ubuntu instead of install?
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> indro: theres a linux client on the way. ID are good like that
[00:02] <dust_> anynoe help me with bluetooth
[00:02] <jgood> ZykoticK9, nope no line moving, no it beeps when i use the arrows, let me try real fast
[00:03] <RPS> Hello Guys, I have a file I need to open and amend, but it will have to be opened in a terminal window. Can someone help me get it open? the path to the file is /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh
[00:03] <indro> ActionParsnip: yeah but that can take long
[00:03] <indro> look at ut3 still no linux client
[00:03] <jgood> ZykoticK9, same thing, nothing...
[00:03] <RPS> I need to be at root to get it open ...so sudo -s ...is that right?
[00:03] <BrixSat> hello
[00:03] <ZykoticK9> RPS, CAREFUL!!!  "sudo nano /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh"
[00:03] <austin> I have a ubuntu server hooked up to my network with apache2 installed and runnign, and some files on my machine, in my user/name/ and woud liek to get these files to display in a browser from my server
[00:03] <indro> would be nice if someone can get it work under wine
[00:04] <BrixSat> how can i play  youtube on firefox using ubuntu 8.10?
[00:04] <Schwag> i got ut3 to work under wine
[00:04] <mezy> glitsj16: hey thanks, but i just found it, but now im disappointed at its capabilities. i thought i would be able to add in packages to it making it a 'customized' cd, but i can only change the language and some other small stuff
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> indro: it shouldnt be too long. i'd imagine they will use a linux installer like doom3
[00:04] <rww> BrixSat: install the flashplugin-nonfree package
[00:04] <nightrid3r> RPS gksudo gedit /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh
[00:04] <indro> BrixSat: install flashplayer
[00:04] <ZykoticK9> jgood, sorry man, I got nothing!
[00:04] <jwaldo> For some reason, I can't get the installer to use my free space: ﻿http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3547/3326358951_de20690052_b.jpg
[00:04] <Schwag> horribly but yeah
[00:04] <fosco_> !flash | BrixSat
[00:04] <BrixSat> apt-get install flashplayer
[00:04] <jgood> ZykoticK9, when i reformattted the windows to make room for linux i had to change my BIOS settings to disable my SATA drive before windows would work... would this be anything?
[00:04] <indro> ActionParsnip: they just need to port the dll to linux.
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> jwaldo: use manual then :)
[00:05] <jgood> it is still disabled, the same way i was able to install windows as
[00:05] <indro> the installer just unpacks the ddl
[00:05] <ZykoticK9> jgood, i don't think so...
[00:05] <Schwag> im trying to use pppconfig for a phone as a modem, using lsusb reads my iden motorola modem, but i cant select it to use with pppconfig
[00:05] <BrixSat> firefox warns me of a missing plugin i have instaled it and still nothing
[00:05] <indro> the whole game is packaged in a ddl
[00:05] <Rolcol> Will Jaunty have the latest kernel?
[00:05] <jgood> k, just throwing it out there, i doubted it had anything but i don't know so better safe then stupid
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: are you 64bit or 32bit ubuntu?
[00:05] <BrixSat> 32
[00:05] <doumo> ﻿I'm trying to get a new X running so I can run wine on it.  But I get a weird error message when opening a new X.  Any clues on how to fix this?  http://pastebin.com/d311f15d
[00:05] <indro> i can get into the game with wine + firefox but when the game starts it crashes. :/
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> Rolcol: yes
[00:05] <jwaldo> ﻿ActionParsnip: I hadn't tried manual yet. Much of what I've read suggested not to
[00:05] <austin> can anyone help me at all with my problem, that i just stated above
[00:06] <BrixSat> Ac
[00:06] <Rolcol> ActionParsnip: Sweet.  Thanks.
[00:06] <austin> >	I have a ubuntu server hooked up to my network with apache2 installed and runnign, and some files on my machine, in my user/name/ and woud liek to get these files to display in a browser from my server
[00:06] <fosco_> Rolcol: jaunty will go with 2.6.28 (not the very last one)
[00:06] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip: im 32 bits ubuntu 8.1
[00:06] <nightrid3r> austin put the files in /home/$username/public_html
[00:06] <indro> humm i try now wine + ie7 maybe that works...
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> indro: its a bit weird ive heard, check the appdb
[00:07] <sebsebseb> indro: IE7 in Wine what why?
[00:07] <ZykoticK9> indro, i don't think anyone has figured out a working Linux Quake Live yet - hopefully you will.
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> indro: you could run virtualbox in seamless mode
[00:07] <Rolcol> fosco_: what is the latest stable?  I don't pay much attention because I don't have to compile my kernel =\
[00:07] <hmw> indro: check out "winetricks"
[00:07] <jgood> ZykoticK9, playing around with the other options, nothing works for any of the options, i can select language, i can hit my F keys, i can arrow up and down, but it doesn't select an option
[00:07] <BrixSat> done
[00:07] <BrixSat> it had installed nothing
[00:07] <mib_5b5go4> i need some help with getting my ethernet/wireless card working i posted on the fourms here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1085389 but didnt receve much help any one have any ideas
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: close all firefoxes and then rerun it
[00:07] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip: it installed nothing :S
[00:07] <ZykoticK9> jgood, have a different keyboard you could try???
[00:07] <austin> nightrid3r: ok i have it all in there already
[00:08] <fosco_> Rolcol: now 2.6.28 is the last, but mostly sure there will be a 2.6.29 version when jaunty comes
[00:08] <melik> what would you guys recommend banshee or rhythmbox?
[00:08] <Schwag> im trying to use pppconfig for a phone as a modem, using lsusb reads my iden motorola modem, but i cant select it to use with pppconfig
[00:08] <silversurfer> Is Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop Edition CD a good Live CD method to recover a crashed system?
[00:08] <Rolcol> fosco_: but due to feature freeze... too late.  Alright.  Thanks for your answer.
[00:08] <BrixSat> firefox breaks downs when i click on a youtube movie
[00:08] <hmw> silversurfer: sure.
[00:08] <indro> hmw: okay, will do. ;)
[00:08] <nightrid3r> austin enable mod_userdir in apache and restart apache
[00:08] <indro> can i install ie with that?
[00:08] <jgood> ZykoticK9, yea, but i doubt thats it because it lets me select my language, and every key works in windows, and all the ones i hit in there (enter, arrows, f keys, ect)
[00:09] <indro> @ hmw
[00:09] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip:  if i click on a youtube.com movie firefox closes down
[00:09] <nightrid3r> austin then http://localhost/~$username will show the files
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: whats the output of: file /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[00:09] <kopolee11> hello. i reinstalled my computer, and was wondering how i could make my home partition become my home directory. because now i simply have a new home directory, which has none of my original settings or files. thanks
[00:09] <indro> hmw: winetricks done. what now?
[00:09] <austin> nightrid3r: hwo do i enable and restart? i'm sort of a newbie at all this command line stuff
[00:09] <hmw> indro: i remember seing a similar option in winetricks, but I am not completly certain about IE. It installs certain apps, that wouldnt install in wine.
[00:09] <ZykoticK9> jgood, have you tried BOTH Enter keys?  you not trying to use the one on the numpad are you
[00:09] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip:  what should i do with that?
[00:09] <sebsebseb> !home
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: its a terminal command
[00:09] <jgood> ZykoticK9, laptop, no numpad
[00:09] <mp3guy> hi,after fsck ran last I got a load of inode errors, and now some of my files are missing and I've a load of numbered files in the lost+found folder of the partition (ext3) how do I find out what their original filenames were and restore them to their original locations?
[00:09] <puff> Crap, still can't find the brasero lock file. Hm.
[00:10] <indro> hmw: i installed it, how i can use it now?
[00:10] <ZykoticK9> jgood, what model?
[00:10] <doumo> ﻿I'm trying to get a new X running so I can run wine on it.  But I get a weird error message when opening a new X.  Any clues on how to fix this?  http://pastebin.com/d311f15d
[00:10] <hmw> indro: run it from the terminal
[00:10] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip:  bla bla bla bla (No such file or directory)
[00:10] <indro> i did wsh winetricks corefonts vcrun6
[00:10] <nightrid3r> austin not sure, ubuntu apache conf is different from the centos conf i use, maybe google for it
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: ok
[00:10] <jgood> ZykoticK9, hp pavillion 5000 series more specifically 5218nr
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: ok we need to find the .so file
[00:10] <BrixSat> ok
[00:11] <BrixSat> how? updatedb?
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: we'll go full force
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: sudo find / -name *.so | grep libflasplayer
[00:11] <BrixSat> what do you mean full force?
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: that command will scan the whole / partition
[00:11] <jwaldo> ﻿ActionParsnip: Selecting "Manual" gets me a chart exactly like this one: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3614/3327188278_4c537a4d9f_b.jpg Does the option to adjust that happen after I click Next, or am I still stuck with wiping the drive?
[00:11] <austin> nightrid3r: alright got it,
[00:12] <nickrud_> austin, sudo a2enmod userdir , then sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> jwaldo: no, use full manual
[00:12] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip:  finished and nothing came up!
[00:12] <carbine> Can someone help me out installing a webcam?
[00:12] <kopolee11> thanks ubottu, but i already had a home partition set up when i did the reinstallation. it seems that the guide you gave was for if you didn't have a home partition already set up. is there anyway, i can make my home partition become my home directory.
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: oh, ok weird
[00:12] <ZykoticK9> jgood, did a quick seach, didn't find anything - it seems like the Enter key isn't working for whatever reason, you might try plugging in a usb keyboard if you got one -- other then that I have NO idea... sorry man
[00:12] <nickrud_> austin, perty sure it's userdir, /etc/apache2/mods-available list all the mods you can check there for it
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-nonfree
[00:13] <jgood> ZykoticK9, well it works, because i hit enter to select my language, thanks for the help, i'll try playing with it some more see if i can't find anything out
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> jwaldo: use manual partitioning and you can use the unallocated space to make (at least) / and /swap
[00:13] <mp3guy> hi,after fsck ran last I got a load of inode errors, and now some of my files are missing and I've a load of numbered files in the lost+found folder of the partition (ext3) how do I find out what their original filenames were and restore them to their original locations?
[00:13] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip:  instaling :D
[00:13] <mezy> glitsj16: nevermind about the capabilities, i just didn't finish using it all the way. the reason was because it think it wouldn't because i am using a live cd.
[00:13] <nickrud_> kopolee11, set up the partition you were using as home in /etc/fstab as mounted on /home
[00:13] <carbine> I tried using http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3706711&postcount=9 and I ended up getting this while trying to run make: http://pastie.org/406627
[00:13] <austin> nightrid3r: alright its all done, but still wont' display...keeps givign me a NOT FOUND
[00:14] <jwaldo> ﻿ActionParsnip: I did check the Manual bubble, but the result was the same as the "Guided- use largest free space"

[00:14] <sebsebseb> !webcam | carbine
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: ok then close all firefoxes and try: http://www.rathergood.com/blode2
[00:14] <jwaldo> Unless there's another sort of 'manual' I'm missing
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> jwaldo: thats fine if the unpartitioned space is what you wish to use
[00:14] <carbine> I went through that already. Checked the sony section for the eyetoy and it takes me through the same process.
[00:14] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip:  still closing down firefox
[00:14] <nightrid3r> austin do you "own" the files
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> jwaldo: if you want full control use manual again and you can create partitions as you like
[00:15] <kopolee11> ok, thank you nickrud_
[00:15] <austin> nightrid3r: I'm the only use, and the admin, so yes
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: make sure they are all dead with: ps -ef | grep firef
[00:15] <jgood> ZykoticK9, at least now i know that it isn't me just being stupid... i always fear that
[00:15] <nickrud_> kopolee11, if that doesn't make clear sense, just say so
[00:15] <DowopDiDo> Is there a way to resize my ubuntu partition and then install another os on the space thats freed without deleating everything on my ubuntu?
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: you should only see the grep command output
[00:15] <ZykoticK9> jgood, :)
[00:15] <sebsebseb> carbine: got  a program  such as AMSN to test your web cam in?  so yeah any program where webcams should work

[00:16] <yubuntu> sebsebseb, yes
[00:16] <nickrud_> yubuntu, alt-f2   xkill , click on screen

[00:16] <yubuntu> nickrud, which button is "xkill" ?
[00:16] <darko956> can someone help me with getting my wireless card to work?
[00:16] <carbine> sebsebsesb: Here's the my problem: http://pastie.org/406627
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: are you logged on as root?
[00:16] <BrixSat> yes
[00:16] <sebsebseb> mezy: there is I guess, but  with the alternate CD you get more control about what to install.  oh and there's ubuntu minimal
[00:16] <nickrud_> yubuntu, you type xkill , it will change the mouse pointer shape
[00:16] <sebsebseb> !minimal
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: why?
[00:17] <austin> nightrid3r: still not showing...i ran it
[00:17] <yubuntu> thanks
[00:17] <jwaldo> ﻿ActionParsnip: Does the bar only represent the free space, then? I was assuming it showed the whole drive
[00:17] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip:  im loged in as root in the shell and a regular user in the graphical system
[00:17] <kopolee11> nickrud_, i'm checking out my fstab file, and i'll admit, i'm not exactly sure what i need to add. if you could please clarify that would be very helpful.
[00:17] <marine1>  new message printer may not be connected already did the hplip update and message stays the same need help after google search.
[00:17] <sebsebseb> !printer
[00:17] <nightrid3r> austin is apache2 user a member of your group?
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: good. i hate idiot logging into x as root
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> jwaldo: read the screen, the white bit is unallocated
[00:17] <austin> nightrid3r: i don't know?
[00:18] <jgood> Anybody else here willing to take up my install problems? short summary: i go to install ubuntu on a new partition of my hard drive, i press enter on install ubuntu, nothing happens... the cd kinda starts to rev up the doesn't do anything, afterwards not able to select anything else, so it selectd it just won't go
[00:18] <doumo> ﻿I'm trying to get a new X running so I can run wine on it.  But I get a weird error message when opening a new X.  Any clues on how to fix this?  http://pastebin.com/d311f15d
[00:18] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip:  so now what?
[00:18] <nickrud_> !fstab | kopolee11 there's some decent advice here; essentially you'll be adding a line similar to the one that mounts the  /   partition
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: ok then run firefox in the gui and it should work
[00:18] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip:  no it works not :S
[00:19] <Joker_-_> I unplugged a drive, booted it in an other machine to try (didnt worked, saying UUID was invalid), plugged it back in the original machine and it still says the uuid is invalid (wont boot), what the?
[00:19] <sebsebseb> jgood: ok bad CD?  did you md5sum check it before burning?   Is the CD scratched?  maybe your CD drive can gone bad even
[00:19] <kopolee11> thank you both nickrud_ and ubottu! I'll see if it works
[00:19] <nightrid3r> austin man ls, there you can find how to show owner and group
[00:19] <jgood> sebsebseb, did md5 check, nope, and if the CD drive was bad would it still load up the ubuntu screen?
[00:19] <Joker_-_> it simply drops me to the basic shell...
[00:19] <MalbeC> hi!!
[00:19] <jwaldo> ﻿ActionParsnip: There are also a Windows partition and a couple other small ones. I was assuming they were the blue and orange segments
[00:19] <mezy> sebsebseb: i dont want to waste another cd. im using a usb to run live.
[00:19] <nickrud_> austin, not to butt in but I'm pretty familiar with this part of ubuntu's apache config. you have your files in ~/public_html and you're looking at  localhost/~username   with the browser, right?
[00:20] <sebsebseb> jgood: if you still got the ISO you could md5sum
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: ok try this: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree
[00:20] <sebsebseb> !md5sum
[00:20] <austin> nickrud_that is correct
[00:20] <Apolo> join ubuntu-br
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: then open firefox as a user and go to: http://www.rathergood.com/blode2
[00:20] <nickrud_> austin, did you do any steps that modified apache's config that enabled user directories?
[00:20] <jgood> sebsebseb, i just ran an md5 check like 5 minutes ago with zykotick9 helping me, it was what it should be according to him
[00:21] <DowopDiDo> How do I get into a file if it says I dont have the permition to?
[00:21] <sebsebseb> jgood: ok
[00:21] <austin> nickrud_ well i was abel to go into it previosuly...
[00:21] <ZykoticK9> doumo, for starters perhaps trying twinview and gaming is not the best option for right now, but your metamodes needs a comma between them "Option "MetaModes" "1680x1050, 1920,1080"
[00:21] <austin> nightrid3r: well what do I do when i get ut of it
[00:21] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip:  and now what?
[00:21] <austin> *in it
[00:21] <indro> hmw: hm still not working. :/
[00:21] <sebsebseb> jgood: other ways it can be installed
[00:21] <sebsebseb> !install
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: open firefox as a user and go to: http://www.rathergood.com/blode2
[00:21] <sofakng> Can anybody please help me debug from my X applications freeze after resuming from standby and then go to 100% cpu usage?
[00:21] <nickrud_> austin, you mean display them in the browser, when pointed at ~username?
[00:21] <sofakng> err from = why...
[00:21] <ZykoticK9> sebsebseb, jgood gave me the md5 24EA1163EA6C9F5DAE77DE8C49EE7C03 for 8.10 desktop i386
[00:21] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip:  yes im there
[00:22] <JosephLinkous> Question: During my Ubuntu installation, one of the advanced options was to not install a boot loader. Is there any reason why you wouldn't install it? I thought it was required
[00:22] <hmw> indro: there is an app database on the winehq web site. Maybe you find your program there, and if youre lucky, you might even find work arounds.
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: is it showing the anim / option to install flash?
[00:22] <jgood> sebsebseb, what do you mean other ways it can be installed? as in...?
[00:22] <sebsebseb> ZykoticK9: well if it's the one it says on ubuntus site.  releases.ubuntu.com then md5sum
[00:22] <sebsebseb> jgood: as in the above
[00:22] <BrixSat> no
[00:22] <jgood> ok
[00:22] <sebsebseb> jgood: other media you can install with
[00:22] <austin> nickrud_this is what i have in my URL bar :   http://192.168.1.106/home/austin/public_html/home_template.html
[00:23] <austin> nickrud_, it works with and without the /home/
[00:23] <nickrud_> austin, change that to 192.168.1.106/~austin
[00:23] <sebsebseb> JosephLinkous:  I think Ubuntu can be booted straight in like Windows, but  then no recovery mode, and can't just change to a later kernel and things,  as a result best to always put the bootloader on
[00:23] <JosephLinkous> Oh, Question #2: Is there a way to quick switch between the two desktops, like an alt-tab thing?
[00:23] <donkey> I need some HELP HELP...... Im trying to send some of my files to my portable hard drive and it says It cannot mount it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[00:23] <nightrid3r> http://192.168.1.106/~austin/home_template.html
[00:23] <austin> :O
[00:23] <nickrud_> you should be fed the contents of /home/austin/public_html
[00:23] <doumo> ZykoticK9: Yea with twinview has broken some of my gamings.  :-/  like starcraft.  Did I input my keyboard,mouse and graphic card correctly for SClayout?
[00:23] <austin> nightrid3r, nickrud_ i got it!!!! :D
[00:23] <JosephLinkous> sebsebseb: Nice, thanks
[00:24] <ZykoticK9> JosephLinkous, if you have compiz ctrl-alt- <left> <right> arrows
[00:24] <donkey> I need some HELP HELP...... Im trying to send some of my files to my portable hard drive and it says It cannot mount it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[00:24] <BrixSat> no animation :S
[00:24] <austin> Its only showing the code, but none the less i can view the files
[00:24] <JosephLinkous> ZykoticK9: Freakin sweet. Thanks
[00:24] <sebsebseb> JosephLinkous: ok no problem
[00:24] <austin> now that i made it this far, how can i go about getting them online?
[00:24] <ZykoticK9> doumo, I just had a quick look and noticed the comma thing, not sure about anything else?
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> donkey: does it show up in sudo fdisk -l
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> donkey: and kill the caps
[00:24] <RPS> nightrid3r, thanks for the command and thanks to ZykoticK9 for the warning
[00:25] <nickrud_> austin, forward your port 80 through your router
[00:25] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip:  no animation :S
[00:25] <wolter_> were can i see kernel panic logs?
[00:25] <sofakng> Can anybody please help me debug why my X applications freeze after resuming from standby and then go to 100% cpu usage?
[00:25] <Jufis> Little selection help would be appreciated :) Which one to choose? -> http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/1548/screenshotsoundpreferen.png
[00:25] <austin> nickrud_how do i do this?  I have a linksys
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: the other way is to go to www.adobe.com download the tar.gz and put the .so file in ~/.mozilla/plugins
[00:25] <darko956> can anyone help me get my wireless card working?
[00:26] <nickrud_> wolter_, if they're enabled, /var/crash or the dir the app was running in
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> darko956: is it usb or pci?
[00:26] <austin> nickrud_: I'm in the rouder page....WRT54GL, i have it set up with  a static IP
[00:26] <nickrud_> austin, that I can't tell you, but I think portforwarding.org explains
[00:26] <darko956> its pci
[00:26] <doumo> ZykoticK9:  Like this?  the xorg isn't something you want to have a typo on  *Option                      "Meta,Modes"       "1680x1050 1920x1080"*
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> darko956: run lspci   it will identify the device and you can websearch that
[00:26] <servo888> Anybody know how to start KDE4 without kdm?
[00:27] <Anacranom> darko956, and what chipset is it?, does it show in lspci or lshw -C network
[00:27] <nickrud_> austin, portforward.com
[00:27] <sebsebseb> servo888: you can use GDM instead
[00:27] <austin> alright, i'll check it out.... nuckrud_ what do i do after i port foward? do i get a seperate address per file, and i get that on a place like godaddy for a domain?
[00:27] <darko956> yeah ive tryed that ita an Atherous chipset
[00:27] <sebsebseb> !gdm
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> servo888: use gmd / slim and select kde as your session
[00:27] <Anacranom> sorry ActionParsnip , didnt see you there in time ;-)
[00:27] <DowopDiDo> i have a big problem, I messed up my ubuntu instalation so now it wont boot, it will get past the loading screen then go black.  Anyway, I want to reinstall ubuntu but I cant untill I get my files back.  so here I am on a live cd trying to get my files, the only problem is, I think when I installed jaunty it incripted all my files or something because when I try to get into the home folder it says access denied or something.  So How do
[00:27] <wolter_> nickrud_, well, there is nothing at /var/crash , does that mean my system didn't kernel panic?
[00:27] <nightrid3r> austin is there a "nat/qos" page
[00:27] <wolter_> it froze completely.
[00:27] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: slim?????
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: yes, slim
[00:28] <indro> servo888: startkde
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> !info slim
[00:28] <austin> nightrid3r: ???
[00:28] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip:  should i remove previous flash
[00:28] <hmw> what is an "invalid swap space"? (came up when installing uswsusp)
[00:28] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: ok I didn't know about slim
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: if you want
[00:28] <nickrud_> wolter_, not sure where that would end up except there. Not even sure if the ubuntu kernel has kernel panic logging enabled by default
[00:28] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip:  how?
[00:28] <sebsebseb> servo888: I guess you just install gdm, and then choose it as your log in
[00:28] <ZykoticK9> doumo, you might also want to change it too "1680x1050, 1920x1080; 1680x1050, NULL" which might help with your gaming - it will turn one monitor off if a game asks for 1680x1050... that helped me get Quake4 working with my Multi-monitor setup
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: there are many login managers, just like there are many desktop environments
[00:28] <servo888> indro: ah ha, lol, there it is.
[00:28] <jwaldo> The more I look, the more it seems to be that the installer isn't recognizing the free space
[00:28] <darko956> and wehn i do a lspci its an atherous communications inc unknown device
[00:28] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: oh ok  well this is  Linux :D
[00:29] <hmw> what is an "invalid swap space"? (came up when installing uswsusp) - My swap is active, and the partition is larger than my RAM.
[00:29] <nightrid3r> austin lemme check, you still have original firmware in linksys wrt54gl?
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: slim is the manager for low footprint distros
[00:29] <nickrud_> austin, you probably have a dynamic ip address from your provider, you might want to use something like dyndns.org
[00:29] <[ifroog]> !find svn
[00:29] <doumo> ZykoticK9: thanks for the tip ill see if ti works
[00:30] <nickrud_> austin, http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WRT54GL/Apache.htm
[00:30] <austin> nightrid3r: yah, original firmware.
[00:30] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip:  how can i remove previous flash versions?
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> dpkg -l | grep flash
[00:30] <sebsebseb> BrixSat: depends how you installed them
[00:30] <nightrid3r> austin http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WRT54GL/TalkSwitch.htm
[00:30] <BrixSat> i have installed whar ActionParsnip told me to!
[00:30] <nickrud_> ha! faster :)
[00:30] <austin> nightrid3r: i went to there static IP address guide, and it didn't give me alnux option
[00:30] <ZykoticK9> doumo, just noticed you put the comma between Meta & Modes, that's not right it's suppose to be between the numbers 1680x1050,1920x1080
[00:31] <xtmnx> I tried to set secondary monitor resolution and position with grandr but it's telling me "User set screen size larger than max screen." Anyone have a clue what should be done?
[00:31] <puff> So, I'm tempted to run a little experiment here.
[00:31] <doumo> I think My xorg.conf is missed up.  Can someone look at it and let me know?  the SClayout I think has bad information for the keyboard,mouse and graphic card.  http://pastebin.com/d311f15d
[00:31] <DowopDiDo> Agh, I need hel[
[00:31] <DowopDiDo> p
[00:31] <nightrid3r> austin static ip is ONLY is your isp gives you a static ip
[00:31] <doumo> ZykoticK9: ahhh, I misunderstood you.
[00:31] <Jufis> Help with volume settings. I just uninstalled pulseaudio and now I can't hear anything from my speakers.
[00:31] <Anacranom> darko956, check your chipset compatibility here-->  http://linux-wless.passys.nl/
[00:31] <puff> I have this old box, no windows on it.
[00:32] <nightrid3r> austin for what you want to do you need to change dhcp server settings
[00:32] <ZykoticK9> doumo, i just didn't explain it well...
[00:32] <puff> My friend is a near-complete computer illiterate.
[00:32] <nickrud_> doumo, I think line 86 should be 640x480
[00:32] <DowopDiDo> wheres the jaunty channel?  Does anyone know?
[00:32] <puff> I'm tempted to just put ubuntu on it and tell him to have fun :-).
[00:32] <puff> However, he wants to play video games, dunno how much pain that might be.
[00:32] <nightrid3r> DowopDiDo #ubuntu+1
[00:32] <BrixSat> i  still cant play youtube files even after instaling from adobe site the deb fil :S
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: www.adobe.com   get the tar.gz  extract to your home folder. create the folder ~/.mozilla/plugins
[00:32] <sebsebseb> puff: depends on the games,  and he could dual boot
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: and copy the .so file to the nw folder
[00:33] <jgood> sebsebseb, yea none of the common suggestions did anything
[00:33] <SuperDefenderX> Anyone here know how to install Quake 3 on 64bit Ubuntu?
[00:33] <DowopDiDo> thanks
[00:33] <BrixSat> i can play animations but not the video :S
[00:33] <ZykoticK9> puff, gaming in ubuntu is kinda limited compared to Windows.  There are games, but not nearly as many.  if they're a gamer, you experiment probably will fail - or that's my hypothesis
[00:33] <doumo> nickrud_, I changed it thanks
[00:33] <mezy> from liveusb, how do i make a folder on my hdd
[00:33] <zlr> hello, i have a question. I'm trying to help someone but got stuck : we are trying to mount a local partition, /dev/sda3 but mount returns a " Stale NFS file handle" error o_O Anyone knows what can be going on ?
[00:34] <darko956> i do not see my card there
[00:34] <pyroger> hey guys
[00:34] <ZykoticK9> zlr "umount -f <whateveryouhadnfsmounted>"
[00:34] <austin> nightrid3r: i called them, they told me i have one if i have a router.....
[00:34] <darko956> i did post on forums at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1085389 it might have a little bit more information for you
[00:34] <sebsebseb> pyroger: hi
[00:35] <doumo> ﻿I think My xorg.conf is missed up.  Can someone look at it and let me know?  the SClayout I think has bad information for the keyboard,mouse and graphic card.  http://pastebin.com/d311f15d
[00:35] <pyroger> can anyone help me... my files on my hard drives seem to dissappear when the server is left idol for a while...anyideas... hi sebsebseb!
[00:35] <kopolee11> hello again, i was wondering what was a quick way to look at your partition tables without resorting to a live cd
[00:35] <jgood> sebsebseb, so the common install problems page was no help, and what do you mean by other media to install it?
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> darko956: is lspci doesnt show it, make sure the lil switch to enable it is set to on and that its enabled in bios
[00:35] <zlr> will try, ZykoticK9, thanks !
[00:35] <pyroger> kopolee add storage device manager
[00:35] <mezy> nevermind
[00:35] <sebsebseb> jgood: media as in things you can install it from
[00:35] <Anacranom> puff, for gaming see #winehq and #cedega and i'll talk to you here #seaphor
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> darko956: you can always turn it off then on to see if the system rreacts
[00:35] <sebsebseb> puff:  2d games  with enough RAM would probably be ok in a virtual machine as well
[00:35] <sebsebseb> 3d games though nope
[00:36] <jgood> sebsebseb, so what would be an alternative? all i have is cd and usb ports
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> darko956: you could also read through: dmesg | less
[00:36] <sebsebseb> jgood: you can install from a USB stick yes
[00:36] <pyroger> any ideas?
[00:36] <jgood> sebsebseb, i do have a thumb drive and an external hard drive.... so should i try the thumb drive then?
[00:36] <sebsebseb> well
[00:36] <sebsebseb> !install

[00:37] <hogwash> it's built in to the mobo
[00:37] <kesi> what's the best way to copy files between two Ubuntu machines over the network?   I have 1 running openssh-server if that helps
[00:37] <sebsebseb> hogwash: aheros ok
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> hogwash: ok what is the output of lspci

[00:37] <jwaldo> "/dev/sda1" is my Windows partition, "/dev/sda3" is my Windows recovery partition, and "/dev/sda4" is for some bios-related stuff. It seems to want to wipe them all, and seems to ignore the free space no matter what
[00:37] <sebsebseb> !scp | kesi
[00:37] <BiosElement> Anyone know a command to remove .svn folders from a folder and all sub-folders?
[00:37] <austin> nightrid3r: ok i got my ports fowarded...now what?
[00:37] <sebsebseb> !sftp
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> jwaldo: yes you need to click manual then click next
[00:37] <kesi> sebsebseb, thanks!  that's what I was trying to remember :)
[00:38] <nightrid3r> austin the original interface of linksys is limited, maybe the isp helpdesk can help you configure forwarding
[00:38] <nightrid3r> austin thet shoud be it
[00:38] <sebsebseb> kesi: yeah and I guess you could use FTP as well
[00:38] <Jufis> Thank you all who helped me with my sound problems! I got it all working now :) this channel rocks and so does ubuntu! <3
[00:38] <pyroger> help:(  my files on my hard drives seem to dissappear when my server is left idol for a while...anyideas... it works fine when i reboot then if i leave the machine idol for aa while they just dissapear:( hi sebsebseb!

[00:38] <jgood> well, i have to go, i'll try playing with this later, i'll probably end up here again.... thanks a lot zykotick9 and sebsebseb for the help...
[00:38] <austin> nightrid3r: well....i don't really know what i did.  where would i get my address, and what information do i need if i'm going to attache a domain name to it?
[00:38] <darko956> and i am checking bios right now
[00:38] <nightrid3r> austin give me your external ip then i can see if i get trough the router

[00:38] <jwaldo> ﻿ActionParsnip: So clicking 'next' won't go straight to wiping the drive, then?
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> pyroger: wait til it gets dropped and then run dmesg | less to see whats going on
[00:39] <austin> nightrid3r: what is my external ip?
[00:39] <sebsebseb> mezy: partition editor?
[00:39] <pyroger> ok

[00:40] <BrixSat> it now shows a button on all flash animations and if i prress it loads the animation
[00:40] <kopolee11> thanks pyroger
[00:41] <nightrid3r> austin and shanes website :)
[00:41] <sebsebseb> austin: what do you want help with?
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: so there is an intelligent output from file ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[00:41] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip: it now shows a button on all flash animations and if i prress it loads the animation, but on youtube it stukcs on the main movie player
[00:41] <darko956> i see nowhere in my bios to enable the card
[00:41] <austin> nightrid3r: :D
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: btw are you running all this in your root console??
[00:41] <nightrid3r> austin your router is configured now and your website is reachable
[00:41] <austin> nirghtrid3r: sweet, what did you enter in?
[00:41] <austin> and did you actually see the website?
[00:42] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip: /home/cesar/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped
[00:42] <nightrid3r> austin no not yet
[00:42] <austin> nightrid3r: oh you saw the directory?
[00:42] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: ok thats cool, just making sure you werent messing with roots home
[00:42] <nightrid3r> yup
[00:42] <whitedoor> umm hi.. I just installed ubuntu on my PC, but it seems to hang as X starts.... is there any way to figure out what the problem is?

[00:43] <pyroger> actionparsnip: thats one thing its saying for one of the harddrives...
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: you could copy ot to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
[00:44] <jwaldo> ﻿ActionParsnip: I've selected the manual mode, and now have a mess of options
[00:44] <austin> nightrid3r: alright nice....few questions i have now: 1) will my ip ever change, and if it does will it be difficult to resettup? 2) how vulnerable am i to hack/crack attacks 3) are otehr comptuers on my entwork safe? 4) what do i do to get a domain hooked onto one of the web pages
[00:44] <austin> :D
[00:44] <nightrid3r> austin make sure you rename your files to end with .html
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> pyroger: i had a drive like that. I ended up replacing it
[00:44] <coreyman> How do I remove games completley from ubuntu with sudo apt-get remove?
[00:44] <armence> Hi all
[00:45] <sebsebseb> austin: have a hardware firewall and  keep ports closed unless you need to open them for something
[00:45] <dean> coreyman: sudo apt-get remove && sudo apt-get autoremove
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> jwaldo: you need to create 2 partitions in that free space, / and /swp. make swp about 1Gb and use the rest for /
[00:45] <sebsebseb> coreyman: sudo apt-get purge remove program
[00:45] <sebsebseb> coreyman: and might be some hidden .folders even so left.  in home
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: its --purge not just purge
[00:45] <pyroger> action parsnip: :( i have two drives doing it tho... and they are both 1TB :(
[00:45] <sebsebseb> coreyman: view show hidden  files and folders
[00:45] <coreyman> I mean, like, the standard games that come with ubuntu
[00:45] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: I think both works
[00:45] <coreyman> How do I remove those.
[00:45] <nightrid3r> austin if your ip from isp is static it will never change, you box might be vulnerable if apache or the scripts (php) you use are vulnerable, other computers are protected by the router
[00:45] <coreyman> what are they called.
[00:46] <dean> coreyman: gnome-games
[00:46] <jwaldo> ﻿ActionParsnip: Would I use the "new partition" button for that? Would I check the free space first?
[00:46] <coreyman> dean: thanks
[00:46] <sebsebseb> coreyman: indeed the standard games that come with Ubuntu are not that good, but they are probably part of ubuntu-desktop
[00:46] <sebsebseb> coreyman: and you don't really want to just remove ubuntu-desktop
[00:46] <armence> I just installed ubuntu, how do I make sure that it starts up with the acpi=off option? Otherwise, it freezes when loading.
[00:46] <pyroger> action parsnip: when you replaced it did it work? by anychance is there some kind of sleep option that is kicking in after a certain time or sometin?
[00:46] <sebsebseb> coreyman: also  those games will hardly take up any space
[00:46] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip:  the same thing :S some animations require me to click a play button to start the animation and other like the main video of youtube just shows ok and after a while it stays gray
[00:46] <nightrid3r> austin if you get a domain you'll have to reconfigure your apache conf and use a vhost in the domain
[00:46] <dean> armence: update /boot/grub/menu.lst
[00:46] <coreyman> sebsebseb dean got me :D
[00:46] <sebsebseb> coreyman: this is Ubuntu not Windows,  loads can be done with just 8GB even
[00:47] <austin> sebsebseb: as for my fire wall, do i just pull one off of the package manger?
[00:47] <armence> dean: I'm running from the live cd though...
[00:47] <coreyman> I just wanted to remove them, they were bothering me.
[00:47] <austin> nightrid3r: and is this very difficult?
[00:47] <sebsebseb> austin: could  get firestarter, but hardware firewall is the best,  so the one in your router
[00:47] <darko956> i still dont know what to do to get my wireless card to work :-/
[00:47] <sebsebseb> austin: and you could find out about iptables if you want as well
[00:47] <sebsebseb> !iptables
[00:47] <nightrid3r> austin the easy way to do that is use webmin + virtualmin, then you have an easy webinterface to change your settings
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: have you got flashblock or adblock installed
[00:47] <nivardus> is there a way to easily remove packages that were installed due to dependancies from another package? (such as I installed amarok and now want to delete the hell out of it)
[00:48] <sebsebseb> nightrid3r: that sounds interesting, but does it work for all routers?
[00:48] <austin> nightrid3r: so sudo apt-get install webmin + virtualmin?
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> nivardus: sudo apt-get --purge --autoremove
[00:48] <nivardus> thanks, action
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> !webmin | austin
[00:48] <ogre> hi, how do i save a file in nano? im confused
[00:48] <austin> :(
[00:48] <nightrid3r> austin yes, your router doesn't care about domains and stuff, it only knows ip adresses and ports
[00:48] <sebsebseb> ogre: Nano  I woudn't recommend using it if your new to Linux
[00:48] <dean> ogre: ^O (Ctrl-O)
[00:48] <Dr_willis> og01,  ^X means Ctrl X
[00:48] <Dr_willis> ^ = ctrl
[00:49] <Anacranom> darko956, /join #seaphor and i'll help you there if not here, see cara, she's real good, i'm about to log
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis: not in na grep ;)
[00:49] <Dr_willis> I hate how nano is the default and confuises people
[00:49] <Dr_willis> theres better 'beginner' editors out there. :)
[00:49] <dieselsmoke> ogre: ctrl+x
[00:49] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip:  no!
[00:49] <ogre> ahh thats what had me screwed up thanks dean Dr_willis
[00:49] <BrixSat> i had a lot of flash in the extras like flash 9 and 10 i had deactivated all
[00:49] <austin> nighrid3r: so in ubuntu, how do i get  my web address?
[00:49] <Dr_willis> I had to explain to a few 'beginners' at work that they did not want to hit the ^ key then W  :)
[00:49] <nightrid3r> austin if you have unlimited bandwith you could even host some friends site with that setup :)
[00:50] <sebsebseb> darko956: hi  ok  uhmmmmm
[00:50] <dean> Dr_willis: what editor should be the default
[00:50] <austin> nightrid3r: i'm likeing this....
[00:50] <keith> using kino, and when I paused the playback... the sound got stuck. Is there any way to stop it and/or fix it without restarting?
[00:50] <sebsebseb> darko956: ahtros wireless yes?   ok  you need madwifi
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> austin: www.ipchicken.com
[00:50] <_VIM_> dean vi
[00:50] <Dr_willis> dean,  i used mpedit on some disrtos - its very straight forward..  even has pull down menus in the console/terminal
[00:50] <_VIM_> vi much easier than *THAT* nano thing
[00:51]  * _VIM_ hides
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> _VIM_: i find nano easier
[00:51] <Dr_willis> nano is really.. annoying in ways.
[00:51] <zlr> ZykoticK9: actually we just rebooted on a live CD,  it's not mounted and the mount still gives this STALE NFS error
[00:51] <nightrid3r> http://whatsmyip.org/ austin
[00:51] <armence> I am updating my /boot/grub/menu.lst file in order to have my system boot with acpi=off what should I do? Should I just add "acpi=off" at the end of the file?
[00:51] <austin> nightrid3r:???? i know my ip address...
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis: why annoying?
[00:51] <raylu> ActionParsnip: hard wrapping by default
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> austin: www.ipchicken.com will tell you it
[00:52] <ZykoticK9> zlr, your running of the LiveCD... OH... what was your actual problem again?
[00:52] <raylu> ActionParsnip: and no pretty colors :D
[00:52] <Dr_willis> ActionParsnip,  compared to mcedit, or otehrs.. its just not good in many ways. :)
[00:52] <austin> actionparsni, i know it though
[00:52] <coreyman> is it possible to compile ubuntu from the installed version on the hard disk.
[00:52] <Dr_willis> especially as a 'default editor for the total novice'
[00:52] <nightrid3r> austin then what did you meen
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> raylu: not bothered about colours
[00:52] <raylu> armence: put it in defoptions in that file
[00:52] <keith> my sound is stuck in an loop even though I closed the applications that were using it. How can I fix the problem without restarting? I trying restarting alsa-utils, but that only stopped the sound until it starting it again.
[00:52] <zlr> ^^ we're trying to mount a local ext3 partition which has the ubuntu install on it
[00:52] <jwaldo> ﻿ActionParsnip: This look right? http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3615/3326468713_89661d36c2_o.jpg
[00:52] <raylu> ActionParsnip: that's because you don't have them
[00:52] <dean> armence: add it where it says defoptions=
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis: i guess its what im used to
[00:52] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip:  :'( after a while youtube makes firefox crash (get grayed)
[00:52] <dean> armence: to the end of that line and then do sudo update-grub
[00:52] <zlr> and it gives this NFS STALE FILEHANDLE error
[00:52] <BrixSat> but flash works fine
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> jwaldo: looks fine
[00:53] <ZykoticK9> zlr, could you pastebin the output of "mount"
[00:53] <joshkosmala> Hello! I am trying to get subverstion working on ubuntu server... and am getting this error: [Wed Mar 04 12:36:22 2009] [error] [client 118.93.59.226] File does not exist: /var/www/html/svn - that is because my svn repo is in /home/svn... Could anyone point me in the right direction to change the location where apache thinks the server root is? If this is what I should be trying to do?
[00:53] <austin> nightrid3r: how, in ubuntu, do i get a domain name, even a sub domain for now, for my website?
[00:53] <coreyman> Anyone know if I can compile ubuntu for a cd from what is on my hard disk.
[00:53] <dean> austin: no-ip.org
[00:53] <jwaldo> ActionParsnip: So, next then?
[00:53] <doumo> ﻿doumo: ﻿﻿I think My xorg.conf is missed up.  Can someone look at it and let me know?  the SClayout I think has bad information for the keyboard,mouse and graphic card.  http://pastebin.com/d311f15d
[00:53] <Dr_willis> coreyman,  i recall some 'live cd scripts' at some web site.. but never tried them.
[00:53] <raylu> jwaldo: why is there a tiny ext3 partition at the end?
[00:53] <dean> coreyman: yes you can
[00:53] <raylu> jwaldo: ignore that
[00:53] <sebsebseb> coreyman: hi  seems you got a lot of issues with Ubuntu????????
[00:54] <coreyman> sebsebseb I just moved from windows
[00:54] <sebsebseb> coreyman: or stuff you want to find out about?
[00:54] <Joker_-_> Help: the file /boot/grub/stage2 not read correctly
[00:54] <coreyman> dean: where can i find info on this.
[00:54] <sebsebseb> coreyman: ok  I see.  is it installed?
[00:54] <enau1289> Hey guys, I need to remove any .svn directories inside of a directory tree... is there a quick way to do that?
[00:54] <nightrid3r> austin you need a registrar like godaddy or co.cc and register your domain there and have it point to the outside ip
[00:54] <armence> dean: will it work even if I am running from the live CD right now?
[00:54] <coreyman> sebsebseb it is installed
[00:54] <Joker_-_> it's a raid (/dev/md0 == /)
[00:54] <jwaldo> raylu: The tiny end partition is for Boot Booster, or some such thing. It's one of the stock partitions
[00:54] <KujiUn> Is "system restart" different than "session restart"?
[00:54] <dean> if you edit the actual /boot/grub/menu.lst on your hard disk then yes
[00:55] <Dr_willis> enau1289,  proper use of the 'find' command can do that..  and No i dont know how exactluy
[00:55] <raylu> enau1289: find -name ".svn" -exec "rm -rf {} \;"
[00:55] <dean> if you edit the one from the livecd than no
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> jwaldo: write the partitions to the disk and continue with the install
[00:55] <hogwash> so am i supposed to reboot after i install these drivers ?
[00:55] <enau1289> raylu: Thanks :D
[00:55] <coreyman> sebsebseb my xorg.conf still isn't right... Noone has been able to help me on that.
[00:55] <dean> mound your linux disk and then  go to the grub benu.lst and edit it
[00:55] <zlr> ZykoticK9: http://pastebin.ca/1352333
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis: i'll give mcedit a shot
[00:55] <dean> mound = mount;
[00:55] <sebsebseb> coreyman: oh right  Xorg ok uhmmm
[00:55] <ditto> Wireless is enabled and the wifi light is "on" on my laptop, however, I am unable to see wireless networks
[00:55] <kesi> !scp
[00:55] <Dr_willis> ActionParsnip,  mcedit! :) i was thinking mpedit.. lol..
[00:56] <austin> nightrid3r: i have a few promo codes for go daddy, so i just type in my direcotry link and its done? i'll try it with co.nr rightnow
[00:56] <Dr_willis> !info mcedit
[00:56] <armence> dean: The defoptions line is commented out, should I remove the comment?
[00:56] <sebsebseb> coreyman: which version of Ubuntu, and how old is your graphichs card?  which one is it Nidia or ATI?   what kind of problems are you having with that?
[00:56] <Dr_willis> ActionParsnip,  personally - i use vim :)
[00:56] <ZykoticK9> zlr, sorry what is the output of just "mount" nothing extra
[00:56] <dean> no
[00:56] <ZykoticK9> zlr, will show what's currently mounted, so we can see this NFS mount
[00:56] <armence> dean: thanks...
[00:56] <Dr_willis> ActionParsnip,  oh wait.. 'mcedit' is the edior that comes with 'mc' theres yet another one i was thinking of.
[00:56] <nightrid3r> austin read up first on how DNS works
[00:56] <jwaldo> Oh cool, it even imports my Firtefox settings!
[00:57] <armence> dean: I don't have the permissions to save the file?
[00:57] <austin> nightrid3r: you got a good web refrence for that?
[00:57] <enau1289> raylu: Ah, for some reason I get back:
[00:57] <dean> armence: do it with 'sudo'
[00:57] <enau1289> find: illegal option -- n
[00:57] <enau1289> find: illegal option -- a
[00:57] <enau1289> find: illegal option -- m

[00:57] <nightrid3r> austin hold on
[00:57] <coreyman> sebsebseb It is 8600 GT Nvidia, Ubuntu is latest version. It seems every time I stick my HP monitor above my Samsung in the config, no matter what type of config (xenerama, twinview) X locks up, I've tried downgrading x, using different nvidia drivers the whole nine yards, so im thinking its just an error I have in my config.
[00:57] <BrixSat> thanks for all ActionParsnip :D i have animations working better than nothing
[00:57] <dean> enau what was the command you used

[01:02] <dean> you need to put the directory
[01:02] <UncleD> be careful using rm -rf!
[01:02] <austin> nightrid3r: do i need to reconfig. anythign?
[01:02] <nightrid3r> austin no the box just has to be on thats all
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> dean: i woulnt advise users to run that, it may find stuff you down want to rm
[01:02] <dean> try it with echo first
[01:02] <austin> oh ok cool
[01:02] <coreyman> Anyone know if I can remove all packages that nothing depends on?

[01:03] <hogwash> my wifi info ^---
[01:03] <kesi> hi all, I have my own domain name but no static IP for my home server.  What's the best way in dd-wrt to forward an A record like home.domain.com to my router.  Do I have to sign up for a service?  Which would you recommend?
[01:03] <coreyman> Kesi: depends on if you are behind NAT
[01:03] <usuario> hi all. I usually around google and the ubuntu forums... but I don't really know how to search this problem. my localization or languages are a bit messy. (i've instaleld and used spanish, English, Chinese, etc). Some of my menus and apps still are the residual languages (I uninstalled all languages but english). How do I make it so all my apps and menues are back to just English? Thank you
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> hogwash: sweet your device is installed
[01:04] <nightrid3r> kesi #dd-wrt should know
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> hogwash: just needs the connection configuring
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> hogwash: are you logged in as root?
[01:04] <Marfi> How do I install the latest version of nmap? 4.68 in the repos, but newest is 4.78
[01:04] <kesi> nightrid3r, oops thought that's where I was.  Sorry :(.  I go to this channel so often :)
[01:04] <ZykoticK9> hogwash, have you tried "sudo dhclient wlan0"
[01:04] <coreyman> Anyone know about xorg.conf please help.
[01:04] <Dr_willis> Marfi,  compile it from source.
[01:04] <zlr> same  thing  ZykoticK9 ... This machine went thru some repair shop and apparently their action trashed the linux partition something bad
[01:04] <hogwash> ahh, i'll try that
[01:04] <Marfi> Dr_willis: is there a .deb for it?
[01:04] <sebsebseb> coreyman: is that one of the latest graphics  cards from Nivida?
[01:04] <Marfi> Dr_willis: and do I have to remove it first?
[01:04] <Dr_willis> Marfi, No idea.  check the program homepage?
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> hogwash: are you logged in as root?
[01:05] <ZykoticK9> zlr, still mentioning the NFS Stale?
[01:05] <sebsebseb> coreyman: Xorg issues are common and a pain in the arse
[01:05] <Dr_willis> Marfi,   You could install it from source for a specific user. not system wide.
[01:05] <coreyman> sebsebseb welcome back
[01:05] <coreyman> sebsebseb http://paste.ubuntu.com/126082/
[01:05] <zlr> yes, ZykoticK9
[01:05] <coreyman> sebsebseb i worked on this 9 hours yesterday
[01:05] <Marfi> Dr_willis: alright, I'll check that out. Ty. =)
[01:05] <coreyman> sebsebseb I need DFP below CRT
[01:05] <coreyman> but x locks up when i do that.
[01:05] <coreyman> thinking .conf error.
[01:06] <coreyman> 8600 GT is not a recent card.
[01:06] <coreyman> I've tried downgrading X, and different nvidia drivers to no avail, so it leads me to think xorg.conf
[01:06] <sebsebseb> coreyman: it's not a really old card either though?
[01:06] <coreyman> right sebsebseb
[01:07] <sebsebseb> coreyman: problems after you put on the propritary driver?  before that things were ok?
[01:07] <zlr> ZykoticK9: at this point, i will advise to use photorec :/
[01:07] <coreyman> sebsebseb I dont think you can use dual monitors without the driver
[01:07] <ZykoticK9> zlr, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1060847&highlight=stale+nfs+file+handle for solution :)
[01:07] <coreyman> sebsebseb i tried it
[01:07] <sebsebseb> coreyman: oh  freaking hell dual monitors as well hummmmm
[01:08] <sebsebseb> coreyman: so you want the computer on two screens at the same time?
[01:08] <coreyman> sebsebseb http://paste.ubuntu.com/126082/
[01:08] <coreyman> sebsebseb yes
[01:08] <ZykoticK9> zlr, found the fisrt link from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1064331
[01:08] <sebsebseb> coreyman: ok loasd of people have had issues with that one
[01:08] <sebsebseb> coreyman: and those issues don't just get solved either
[01:08] <pyrohotdog> Why don't repos contain w32codecs? Apt-cache search for w32 only brings up mingw3.
[01:08] <coreyman> sebsebseb mine isn't the same.
[01:08] <usuario> Hi, all. I usually around google and the ubuntu forums but I don't really know how to search this problem. My languages are a bit messy  because some of my menus and apps still still have a mix of English and other languages (however, I uninstalled all languages but English). How can I reconfigure all my menus and applications back to pure English? Thank you.
[01:09] <Dr_willis> pyrohotdog,  its in the medibuntu repos
[01:09] <zlr> hmm, maybe gparted then ZykoticK9
[01:09] <tonyyarusso> pyrohotdog: Because of legal issues.
[01:09] <coreyman> sebsebseb it is fine until the toolbars load
[01:09] <ZykoticK9> pyrohotdog, you need to add the Medibuntu repo first
[01:09] <pyrohotdog> Dr_willis: how do I add them?
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> !locale | usuario
[01:09] <coreyman> sebsebseb at the login screen i can do whatever the heck
[01:09] <Dr_willis> pyrohotdog,  the medibuntu homepage tells ya
[01:09] <Dr_willis> !medibuntu
[01:09] <coreyman> sebsebseb but when i load in, the main toolbar bugs out and keeps jittering up and down.
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> !medibuntu | pyrohotdog
[01:09] <usuario> thanks a mount actionparsnip!
[01:09] <coreyman> sebsebseb and i cant do anything
[01:09] <sebsebseb> coreyman: I don't think you can just downgrade Xorg
[01:10] <ZykoticK9> zlr, never noticed an option for Partion - > Check but sounds good... good luck man.
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> !downgrade
[01:10] <coreyman> oh i did sebsebseb :D
[01:10] <sebsebseb> coreyman: Intrepid Ibex also uses a much newer and  rather differnet version  from Hardy Heron
[01:10] <coreyman> but i didnt work then either sebsebseb
[01:10] <zlr> thks for the advice, we'll try this ... tomorow ! it"s late here ;)

[01:10] <sebsebseb> coreyman: Hardy Heron even has supourt for legacy NIvida cards, something  Intrepid Ibex does not have
[01:10] <coreyman> sebsebseb where do i view my ubuntu version
[01:11] <sebsebseb> !version
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: nvidia-glx-96 is for legacy cards
[01:11] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: right, does he have a legacy card?
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: like tnt cards
[01:11] <marine1> need help with printer saying not installed
[01:11] <ZykoticK9> zlr, photorec is amazing software, but you loose all your file names
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: i dunno but you said intrepid doesnt have supprt, which it does
[01:11] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: maybe  Hardy is better for his xorg issues I don't know,   just going to look on his pastebin, but I am no xorg config expert
[01:12] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: no they removed the legay Nivida drivers
[01:12] <coreyman> sebsebseb I have Ubuntu 8.1 intrepid
[01:12] <nightrid3r> sebsebseb my gforce mx440 is still suported in intrepid
[01:12] <sebsebseb> hey you two guys maybe you can help  corey
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: sorry, its http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/nvidia-glx-71
[01:13] <coreyman> yea my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/126082/
[01:13] <marine1>  1386.224334] ppdev0: unregistered pardevice
[01:13] <coreyman> i need DFP Below CRT but X locks when i do that.
[01:13] <coreyman> thinking xorg.conf error.
[01:13] <coreyman> right now i have DFP above CRT
[01:14] <coreyman> need DFP to be default monitor also.
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> coreyman: you could read the xorg.conf.log.0
[01:14] <coreyman> let me pastebin that.
[01:14] <coreyman> nothing is in that log
[01:15] <coreyman> wait would it be in the same directory?
[01:15] <marine1> need assistance in fixing this:  [ 1386.224334] ppdev0: unregistered pardevice
[01:16] <jwaldo> ﻿ActionParsnip: The installation seems to have worked. Ubiquity still runs when it starts though. Is the install unfinished, or can I kill that in Sessions?
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> coreyman: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:16] <coreyman> thanks actionparsnip
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> jwaldo: let the install do its thing, it will say when its done
[01:17] <diamantes4> #ubuntu.it
[01:17] <ZykoticK9> marine1, what type of printer to you have?  i assume that it's parallel and not use?
[01:17] <_VIM_> it's #ubuntu-it
[01:17] <marine1> it's a hpdeskjet 3845 us
[01:17] <coreyman> actionparsnip what do i look for in that file.
[01:18] <stephenjudkins> i have a brand-new install of hardy on a slicehost server.  when I run `apt-get install apache2` i get "404 Not Found"
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> coreyman: try setting your xorg, if you get issues, read the log
[01:18] <marine1> ZykoticK9, it's a hpdeskjet 3845 us port
[01:18] <coreyman> ok ill clear it now
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> stephenjudkins: can you web browse on the system?
[01:18] <coreyman> safe to clear it im assuming
[01:18] <coreyman> brb
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> stephenjudkins: have you ran sudo apt-get update
[01:18] <coreyman> restarting x
[01:19] <marine1> ZykoticK9, usb port
[01:19] <jwaldo> ﻿ActionParsnip: It said it was through, and when Ubiquity runs on login it seems to want to do everything over (partitioning and whatnot). I'm guessing it's just because it's in the startup items
[01:19] <armence> I just modified "/boot/grub/menu.lst" from the Live CD. When I try "sudo update-grub" it says there is no GRUB directory... What should I do?
[01:19] <stephenjudkins> ActionParsnip: haha, that's it, i'm stupid
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> stephenjudkins: np man, can't see for looking
[01:20] <Family> running 8.04, can see the network at 54%. choose either wpa or wpa2 enter the passphrase but cant connect.
[01:20] <ActionParsnip> jwaldo: check the bootup settings
[01:20] <zach> pennstatexfactor
[01:20] <niku> armence, you need to tell it where to reinstall grub: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24113.html
[01:21] <zach> has anyone gotten wireless working in easy peasy on the eee pc
[01:21] <yao_ziyuan> i wonder if ubuntu can employ a mixed development model: update core packages slowly, but app packages quickly
[01:21] <jwaldo> ﻿ActionParsnip: At System -> Preferences -> Sessions?
[01:21] <ott0> i just installed adobe air from a .bin file. how can i find out where it installed?
[01:21] <sebsebseb> zach: no, but
[01:21] <sebsebseb> !wireless
[01:21] <ActionParsnip> jwaldo: whatever makes your pc boot
[01:21] <jwaldo> zach: I just installed Easy Peasy, and my wireless is fine
[01:21] <yao_ziyuan> by the way, is there a ppa.launchpad.net repository that offers the latest apps (gimp, pidgin, etc.) fast?
[01:21] <sebsebseb> jwaldo: what a silly name I think
[01:22] <sebsebseb> EasyPeasy
[01:22] <zach> jwaldo: and what version of easy peasy is it?
[01:22] <jwaldo> ﻿sebsebseb: It used to be Ubuntu Eee, until Ubuntu got angry
[01:22] <sebsebseb> jwaldo: on  the other hand netbooks  are aimed at noobs as well
[01:22] <zach> sebsebseb: it is a bit silly
[01:22] <jwaldo> zach: 1.0, IIRC. Whatever's the latest stable version
[01:23] <zach> jwaldo: ok
[01:23] <sebsebseb> zach: yeah and some would say Ubuntu is a silly name, but yet, it is the most used Desktop Linux
[01:23] <jwaldo> ﻿sebsebseb: Funny, I thought they were aimed at folks who wanted a tiny computer
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> jwaldo: check the bootup options in bios as well as the options in the bootloader, make sure its not using the ubuntu iso as boot
[01:23] <sebsebseb> jwaldo: sure, and ignorant computer users
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> jwaldo: or whatever
[01:23] <zach> sebsebseb: this is true and i think that ubuntu is a great name for the os
[01:24] <sebsebseb> zach: yeah I like the Ubuntu ideologey and all that
[01:24] <jwaldo> ActionParsnip: It'd be odd if it was, since I pulled out the SD card when prompted to, before restart
[01:25] <sebsebseb> zach: the circle of friends etc, the meaning of the name etc.  and it could work to win some less technical people over
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> #/j #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:25] <armence> niku: But I don't want my changes to menu.lst to be lost... I need to boot with the acpi=off option
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> jwaldo: strange, could try putting the card in and tell the card to boot from the hard drive
[01:26] <zach> jwaldo: is the wireless working 100 percent all the time? Mine is intermittent and disconnects as it pleases and is quite slow
[01:26] <jwaldo> ﻿sebsebseb: It seems every Linux distro I go for has a funny name. I just downloaded Mandriva, too
[01:26] <sebsebseb> yeah that used to be called Mandrake  which sounds better?
[01:26] <sebsebseb> anyway this is off topic and I am in there again now as well
[01:26] <jwaldo> zach: Mine's been pretty strong. Are you getting better reception with other OSes>
[01:26] <sebsebseb> !ot
[01:27] <skyl> how do I move the present window to a different workspace with the keyboard?
[01:28] <sebsebseb> jwaldo: why you get Mandriva?
[01:28] <nickrud> skyl, try alt-escape, you'll see an option
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> skyl: you can right click its decorator and click send to desktop X
[01:28] <ckwalsh|away> Anyone able to guess why ubuntu keeps resetting my static IP to a dynamic IP?
[01:28] <jwaldo> ﻿sebsebseb: For the heck of it, mostly.
[01:28] <nickrud> skyl, ermg alt-spacebar . Brainfart
[01:28]  * jwaldo heads to offtopic
[01:29] <Jufis> skyl, ctrl + alt + shift + left / right (if using compiz)
[01:29] <coreyman> Only error was, failed to load module type1
[01:29] <sebsebseb> jwaldo: I tried it on Live CD I think,  and  yeah  I will again soon I think,  but I got more advanced OS's to try :)
[01:29] <nightrid3r> ckwalsh http://codesnippets.joyent.com/posts/show/319
[01:29] <sebsebseb> jwaldo: it's weird by now mods would be complaining at us about being off topic, but where are they?
[01:30] <ckwalsh> Running 8.10, exactly 24 hours after the machine is boot up it reassigns the IP on my main ethernet port to a dynamic one
[01:30] <nickrud> waiting for real questions.
[01:30] <ckwalsh> nightrid3r: I have tried the graphical configuraiton as well as editing /etc/network/interfaces
[01:30] <Jufis> skyl, does it work?
[01:30] <ckwalsh> When the computer starts up it is fine
[01:31] <nickrud> ckwalsh, you mean if you set up a wired ethernet in interfaces file, it switches to dynamic?!
[01:31] <ckwalsh> Yes
[01:31] <coreyman> So my x crashed.
[01:31] <nightrid3r> ckwalsh never used static on graphical system, maybe it has to do with networkmanager overwriting stuff
[01:31] <ckwalsh> If I execute sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart it goes back to static
[01:31] <dreamy> hi everyone
[01:32] <nickrud> nightrid3r, net manager is supposed to ignore a static address, it does here
[01:32] <Titan8990> !hi | dreamy
[01:32] <dreamy> hi :)
[01:32] <dreamy> Titan8990: can u help me with a tiny issue ?
[01:32] <Titan8990> ! ask | dreamy
[01:32] <Titan8990> dreamy, shoot
[01:32] <dreamy> okey ops
[01:32] <ckwalsh> One sec and I'll post my /etc/network/interfaces file
[01:33] <louis`> hi how i know the connections via putty
[01:33] <ckwalsh> auto lo
[01:33] <ckwalsh> iface lo inet loopback
[01:33] <ckwalsh> auto eth0
[01:33] <louis`> is something like ps x
[01:33] <ckwalsh> iface eth0 inet static
[01:33] <ckwalsh>         address 192.168.1.99
[01:33] <FloodBot3> ckwalsh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:33] <ckwalsh>         netmask 255.255.255.0
[01:33] <horndog> ckwalsh, Hi, Is your router set as a DHCP server?
[01:33] <ckwalsh> Yes
[01:33] <dreamy> Titan8990: ive set and tested apache server it says it works.. but it has to go trougth the computer i have here ont he left first its got a vista OS ..so that it can brad cast to the net
[01:33] <dreamy> how do i broad cast ?
[01:34] <dieselsmoke> louis`: netstat -tunap should work.
[01:34] <Titan8990> dreamy, you mean you are using a vista computer for a router?
[01:34] <horndog> If so your IP changes to dynamic when when your lease expires .
[01:34] <dreamy> (got a 2 computer networtk>()
[01:34] <ckwalsh> And it works fine, it assigns IPs 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.255
[01:34] <dreamy> Titan8990: yes .. i do i have a reazon to it..
[01:34] <louis``> mm
[01:34] <louis``> hi how i know the connections via putty
[01:35] <louis``> is something like ps x
[01:35] <dieselsmoke> louis`: netstat -tunap
[01:35] <Titan8990> dreamy, you need to A) find out if your ISP allows you to host web servers (if you live in the U.S. this answer is most likely no)  B) port forward port 80 on your router to the linux box
[01:35] <dreamy> Titan8990: it because its wlan is making me get net here
[01:35] <horndog> There is no problem except you have a bynamic IP to start with
[01:35] <coreyman> oh well i dont guess my x will ever be how i want it.
[01:35] <TheGambler> Hi, in order to run a decent web server, mostly inbound posting of sales leads, what kind of RAM would be required for good performance with a peak load of 5 leads posted per second?
[01:35] <louis``> dieselsmoke but i saw something like ps6 and other process ps1 .. ps2
[01:35] <louis``> soemthing like that
[01:35] <louis``> when y put ps x
[01:35] <dieselsmoke> louis`: ps aux  ..shows processes
[01:36] <dreamy> Titan8990: the router u mean is the vista pc? (because i got another fisical router/modem)
[01:36] <dieselsmoke> louis`: netstat -tunap shows connections/ports
[01:36] <louis``> dieselsmoke i know but i saw some processes i dont what is i guess putty conections ts6
[01:37] <nightrid3r> TheGambler depends on what kind of script you use for the site
[01:37] <Joker_-_> I'm swiching 2 computers, keeping only the hard drive and a few things. I know that the kernel wont fit the new computer as it's a 64bits and the new computer is only 32bits. How can I get a kernel installed right now before I swap the hard drives so that I can boot the new computer?
[01:37] <coreyman> anyone know where i can find the gnome brave icon set
[01:37] <TheGambler> nightrid3r: let's say PHP 5
[01:37] <Joker_-_> (my 64bits computer will become a mediacenter)
[01:38] <dreamy> Titan8990: i just dont dig well the part of how will info for the port 80 is passing by the VISTA (os) PC
[01:38] <ckwalsh> So, any suggestions on what may be randomly reassigning my IP?
[01:38] <nightrid3r> TheGambler i guess 1GB should work
[01:38] <dieselsmoke> louis``: you mean 'pts/0' ?
[01:38] <TheGambler> oh sweet; I'm too used to Windoze where 2 or 4 would be required lol
[01:38] <Titan8990> dreamy, I have no idea how vista could possibly route traffic
[01:39] <louis``> yes
[01:39] <louis``> dieselsmoke
[01:39] <Titan8990> dreamy, I doubt it is possible but I would as #windows
[01:39] <dieselsmoke> louis``: normal
[01:39] <louis``> what mean ?
[01:39] <dreamy> okey
[01:39] <Alex_21> Hi, How do you manually read the partition table from the installer shell?
[01:39] <Alex_21> Please
[01:39] <TheGambler> nightrid3r: do you suppose 4GB would be good for a dedicated PostgreSQL box to back-end for 2 such web servers?
[01:39] <Alex_21> Depends on the size of the servers
[01:39] <nightrid3r> dreamy vista will only route if one of the netcards has a routable (public) ip
[01:39] <Alex_21> And how much of a database they need
[01:39] <horndog> ckwalsh, That is the definition of DHCP, If you with, you can change it
[01:40] <TheGambler> Alex_21: I'd say no more than 300 GB and around 30 transactions per second
[01:40] <nightrid3r> TheGambler should be enough
[01:40] <TheGambler> nightrid3r: sweet
[01:40] <dreamy> nightrid3r: yes i discovered that yesterday lol ... i will start making the dhcp aftewareds. yes
[01:40] <Alex_21> TheGambler: No idea. Just general advice
[01:40] <Alex_21> Sorry
[01:41] <dreamy> it will i mean
[01:41] <TheGambler> I appreciate it; I just need a rough idea
[01:41] <Kraft> hey
[01:41] <dieselsmoke> louis``: pts = process tracking system, i think.
[01:41] <Alex_21> I need help using the partitioner on the install disk from the shell
[01:41] <Alex_21> Please
[01:41] <dreamy> its just a wlan and a lan i got here
[01:41] <Alex_21> ?
[01:41] <Alex_21> How do you print the partition table?
[01:42] <coreyman> Anyone know where I can download the gnome-brave icons
[01:42] <Titan8990> dreamy, I really don't understand why the linux server needs to pass through the vista box
[01:42] <Kraft> I have a quick question.  The main idea is watching the movie "hackers" off a BitTorrent download.  I need mpeg codecs, they are required.  Is there a package available somewhere?
[01:42] <coreyman> Nevermind I found it if someone wants to know ask.
[01:42] <Titan8990> dreamy, why not connect it directly to your router?
[01:42] <Blast> what is windows vista/longhorn
[01:42] <dieselsmoke> Alex_21: sudo fdisk -l |lpr  will send to printer
[01:42] <nightrid3r> !codecs
[01:43] <dreamy> Titan8990: im in my room .. so im getting internet without cable.. because i got no cable installed here
[01:43] <Kraft> Okay, ty.
[01:43] <Alex_21> I don't need to send to a printer
[01:43] <dieselsmoke> Alex_21: sudo fdisk -l
[01:43] <horndog> !DHCP
[01:43] <g0tcha> hey guys, anyone here by any chance installed ubuntu 8.10 on VMWARE workstation?
[01:43] <nickrud> Blast, longhorn was the pre release code name for a while
[01:43] <Alex_21> I have a shell open in the install cd and I want to know how my partitions are set up
[01:43] <Titan8990> dreamy, you can't run an ethernet cable into wherever your router is or install a wireless PCI card?
[01:43] <g0tcha> the desktop doesnt start up and it gives me permission denied when i try to "startx"
[01:43] <Blast> so vista would have been longhorn?
[01:44] <nightrid3r> Blast yup
[01:44] <rdw200169> g0tcha, 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start' if you're running gnome (regular ubuntu)
[01:44] <dreamy> Titan8990: well no.. the technician didnt made anything to be pluged here in my room
[01:44] <Titan8990> dreamy, it doesn't require a technician to run a wire....
[01:44] <g0tcha> rdw200169, it is, ill test that out
[01:44] <Alex_21> How can I use sodu from the install disk?
[01:44] <Alex_21> Please
[01:45] <sebsebseb> gotcha: VMware heh
[01:45] <dreamy> Titan8990: but i dont want to put a wire from the room to the living room
[01:45] <rdw200169> g0tcha, you have to make sure, though, that there isn't already an X server running, or gdm.
[01:45] <sebsebseb> gotcha: you got to make a vmx file for workstation as well?
[01:45] <Titan8990> dreamy, wireless PCI card....
[01:45] <zgmf-x42s> hey all.  anyone know of an amazingly supported app for a virtual drive, like daemon tools, except in ubuntu
[01:45] <nightrid3r> dreamy then use wireless
[01:45] <g0tcha> rdw200169, how can i make sure of that?
[01:45] <rdw200169> g0tcha, also, sometimes a restart works, or a stop/start
[01:45] <sebsebseb> !mount
[01:45] <sebsebseb> !iso
[01:45] <sebsebseb> zgmf-x42s: see above
[01:45] <g0tcha> rdw200169, restart didnt work
[01:45] <g0tcha> sebsebseb, yeah, VMware
[01:45] <gotcha> sebsebseb ?
[01:46] <Blast> why dosnt windows vista/longhorn work when i try to use it
[01:46] <rdw200169> g0tcha, ah, use the command 'ps -AF | grep X'
[01:46] <gotcha> ah, pls dont write gotcha ;)
[01:46] <rdw200169> g0tcha, it will return 'grep X', you can ignore that, you're looking for something like '/usr/bin/X'
[01:46] <Alex_21> Thanks
[01:46] <Alex_21> A million
[01:46] <nightrid3r> Blast cos vista sucks?
[01:46] <sebsebseb> gotcha: well it depends on what you want to do exactly, but for a lot of people  Virutualbox is better.   well I haven't used workstation so when I say better I mean better than VMware player and server
[01:46] <kesi> Can anyone tell me why I can't connect via Remote Desktop to my ubuntu desktop?  I can ssh to it no prob but I get a "connection closed" error when I use vinagre/Remote Desktop to connect to it.
[01:46] <dreamy> exactly  but the linux computer is a bit old and doenst has Wireless  .. how ever the computer with vista has .. afterwards it shares trouhg lan to my linux
[01:46] <rdw200169> g0tcha, then, do the same thing w/gdm, i.e. 'ps -AF | grep gdm'
[01:46] <fladd> hi there
[01:46] <ConstantineXVI> Blast, wrong channel.  try ##windows
[01:46] <g0tcha> rdw200169, ok
[01:46] <Kraft> MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) decoder
[01:46] <Kraft> XVID MPEG-4 decoder
[01:46] <Kraft> damn
[01:46] <Kraft> it
[01:46] <sebsebseb> gotcha: also for servers  Virtualbox isn't really the right one
[01:46] <louis```> what mean  4305 tty4     Ss+    0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty4
[01:46] <FloodBot3> Kraft: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:46] <fladd> did the kernel update two days ago also break ubuntu for you?
[01:46] <g0tcha> sebsebseb, i do use vbox :s
[01:47] <g0tcha> but vbox has a problem with freebsd
[01:47] <rdw200169> g0tcha, if either show up, make sure to kill them using the process number in the first column from the ps command output
[01:47] <sebsebseb> gotcha: you can use your vmdk  files in Virtualbox
[01:47] <g0tcha> so i went with vmware for now
[01:47] <rdw200169> g0tcha, i.e. 'kill <process #>
[01:47] <zgmf-x42s> sebsebseb: thanks ill check it out.  i need to mount the image, and then install win xp from iso into xVM
[01:47] <Blast> no when i chose ubuntu on start up it says ubuntu vista longhorn but that dont work
[01:47] <g0tcha> rdw200169, thanks will do
[01:47] <Blast> lol
[01:47] <zgmf-x42s> hopefully it has a nice  gui
[01:47] <rdw200169> g0tcha, and if that won't kill it: 'kill -9 <process #>'
[01:47] <dreamy> nightrid3r: im using the wireless thats rigth .. but not on linux..
[01:47] <louis```> what mean  4305 tty4     Ss+    0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty4
[01:47] <sebsebseb> zgmf-x42s: no you dont need to mount it
[01:47] <sebsebseb> zgmf-x42s: well you do in virtualbox
[01:47] <g0tcha> sebsebseb, vbox virtual harddisk file will load up wit VMware?!
[01:47] <sebsebseb> zgmf-x42s: ,but in Ubuntu you don't need to
[01:47] <Kraft> blast you could burn knoppix-std on a disc and then it would run when you re-boot.... than when u take the disc out it would go back to vista OS
[01:48] <rdw200169> g0tcha, have you *ever* gotten X to start correctly?
[01:48] <sebsebseb> gotcha: yes exactly
[01:48] <zgmf-x42s> sebseb
[01:48] <zgmf-x42s> sebsebseb: well, yah, thats why i need something almost equivalent to daemon tools
[01:48] <nightrid3r> dreamy plug the linux cable into the router
[01:48] <sebsebseb> zgmf-x42s: just tell  Virtualbox to use your XP  ISO or  CD
[01:48] <Kraft> daemon tools is a good program
[01:48] <g0tcha> rdw200169, no, its still the first install in vmware and it didnt X didnt work at all
[01:48] <g0tcha> sebsebseb, wow! cool
[01:48] <Kraft> you could try installing it with "wine"
[01:48] <sebsebseb> zgmf-x42s: and you can use deamontools in your XP VM I think
[01:48] <g0tcha> i need to try that out
[01:48] <Titan8990> nightrid3r, its not use....
[01:48] <dreamy> nightrid3r: ok.. maybe..

[01:50] <Alex_21> Hello. the link https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html does not help me much with partitioning manually with the shell. Can anyone help me to print an overview of the partitions on my system?

[01:50] <Alex_21> Please
[01:50] <gotcha> you want to highlight g0tcha and not me
[01:50] <Kraft> lol
[01:50] <zgmf-x42s> sebsebseb: yah you can use daemon tool in virtual box, it works liek a charm.  and yah it has to be from iso, cause this is an eee pc, and as such, no cd drive
[01:50] <sebsebseb> Alex_21: ok you want help partitining your hard disk to install Ubuntu?
[01:50] <Kraft> so many people are confused
[01:51] <sebsebseb> zgmf-x42s: ok so  get the ISO on  Ubuntu,  and then use Virtualbox  and tell it to use the ISO
[01:51] <Alex_21> Yes
[01:51] <sebsebseb> zgmf-x42s: by the way  Virutalbox binary the PUEL  the non OSE   for USB suppourt

[01:52] <crdlb> !jaunty | wolter
[01:52] <wolter> sebsebseb knows nothing about ubuntu...
[01:52] <nightrid3r> wolter it will be when its finished
[01:52] <sebsebseb> Alex_21: ok you don't need to partition your hard disk using commands to install Ubuntu
[01:52] <sudobash> VLC and Camorama don't show anything though.. have I done something wrong?
[01:52] <sebsebseb> wolter:  lol hi there again :D
[01:52] <crx686> HI, I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 on ASUS laptop, and I'm having trouble getting my linksys wireless to work, it is a PMICA card, my ? is, does ubuntu support PMICA slots? if it does is there a driver for my linksys wireless card thnxs
[01:52] <Alex_21> Yes, the Install guide says I must
[01:53] <wolter> nightrid3r, i guess.. I, though didn't mentioned it, was asking for the countdown
[01:53] <Alex_21> But unfortunately I forgot my partition layout
[01:53] <zgmf-x42s> sebsebseb: yah i know, i made thhat mistake on my main computer a long time ago now.  but ill see if this works, this is allllllllllll theoretical at this point
[01:53] <sebsebseb> Alex_21: you can partition your hard disk graphicalley
[01:53] <wolter> hey sebsebseb
[01:53] <nightrid3r> crx686 linksys support in linux is almost non existant
[01:53] <sebsebseb> !gparted |  Alex_21
[01:53] <TheGambler> thanks for the good information
[01:53] <Alex_21> I already partitioned. I just need the partition layout for some other commands
[01:53] <Alex_21> Please
[01:53] <silversurfer> hmw: how do I remount a Read Only NTFS drive booted from a LiveCd to make it Read Write?
[01:54] <Aquina> java, leave the SQL server as is but stop the service from running every boot.
[01:54] <sebsebseb> Alex_21: ok you want to see your partitions
[01:54] <sebsebseb> !kdiskfree
[01:54] <nightrid3r> crx686 ndiswrapper and windows drivers should get you going
[01:54] <sebsebseb> !kdf
[01:54] <opera> !vimtutor
[01:54] <java> Aquina i want to install  latest version
[01:54] <nanotube_> !qtparted | sebsebseb
[01:54] <sebsebseb> Alex_21: you can install gparted into your install and see the partitions like that, or   something else
[01:55] <java> Aquina i want to install  latest version of mysql so i will have to remove it and install new one right
[01:55] <sebsebseb> nanotube_: yeah, but I am thinking the  show  us how much free space is left programs
[01:55] <java> ??
[01:55] <ubp123> hi, what's main topics on this screen ? i have missed lol
[01:55] <Alex_21> Remember I'm in the Ubuntu install proccess still
[01:55] <nanotube_> sebsebseb: ah

[01:55] <nightrid3r> ubp123 ubuntu support
[01:55] <sebsebseb> Alex_21: your trying to install?
[01:55] <dieselsmoke> Alex_21: try fdisk -l /dev/sda  provided the drive is /dev/sda

[01:56] <hmw> Uhm. apt get ntfs-3g maybe. check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=671900. Btw, why did you ask me in person?
[01:56] <opera> how to use vimtutor to learn vi?
[01:56] <nanotube_> Kraft: mplayer or vlc
[01:56] <nightrid3r> dreamy yes
[01:56] <Kraft> thx
[01:56] <rdw200169> Kraft, this is not the appropriate place to discuss illegal activities
[01:56] <opera> who can help me ?
[01:56] <Kraft> okay
[01:56] <sebsebseb> Kraft: install this and you get all the propritary stuff  that most Ubuntu users will want (well maybe not all of it, but it's easier to install all of it like this)  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[01:56] <ubp123> hmmm any stolling might be wrong but joinning the joys there lol
[01:56] <nightrid3r> crx686 i use an cheap sweex
[01:57] <Kraft> i am not captain save a hoe
[01:57] <Alex_21> I need to know what drives are mounted to
[01:57] <rdw200169> opera, just run vimtutor in the terminal
[01:57] <dieselsmoke> Alex_21: type mount
[01:57] <Alex_21> Sorry. What drives I have
[01:57] <kesi> can anyone help me figure out why I can remotely ssh to a box and not vnc to it?   I have both 22 and 5900 forwarded to it, but I get connection refused in vinagre
[01:57] <hmw> Kraft: check out the web for 10 things to do after ubuntu install
[01:57] <java> Aquina i want to install  latest version of mysql so i will have to remove it and install new one right
[01:57] <Kraft> thanks my dude
[01:57] <Kraft> i got 600gb of space and want to download
[01:57] <dreamy> nightrid3r: the public ip is the same for both computers i think rigth ?
[01:57] <Alex_21> Do VNC over ssh
[01:57] <sebsebseb> kesi:  vinagre?
[01:57] <Alex_21> Lol
[01:57] <Kraft> free movies
[01:57] <nightrid3r> dreamy yes
[01:57] <Kraft> cause these harddrives are so huge
[01:57] <hmw> !coc | Kraft
[01:58] <sebsebseb> yes  tunnel VNC over SSH :)   like  I will do if I remote connect someone and help them out with Ubuntu
[01:58] <opera> rdw200169.  i run it, and i don't know what i  will do later
[01:58] <rdw200169> thanks, hmw
[01:58] <rdw200169> opera, what do you mean?
[01:58] <ubp123> whats pubic ids ?
[01:58] <java> i want to install  latest version of mysql so i will have to remove old version  and install new one right or is there any other way to fix it i have mysql 5.0.67 and i want to install 5.1.22
[01:58] <java> help
[01:58] <Alex_21> Public IDs are ids you can use with more than one service
[01:58] <nanotube_> kesi: can you telnet to the vinagre port directly from the localhost? (to make sure the port is open)
[01:59] <sebsebseb> what's  vinagre?????
[01:59] <Alex_21> How can I see what drives are on my computer?
[01:59] <opera> rdw_ i don't know how to  use it to learn vi
[01:59] <nanotube_> java: if you can download a .deb of mysql, then you don't need to uninstall first.
[01:59] <rdw200169> opera, the tutor is just a big text file, that runs you through basic vim tasks... its pretty snazzy, actually
[01:59] <dreamy> Titan8990: i think my isp is block 80 ..yes .. because ive been tryng before to run the server.. how can i broadcast with the isp blockig 80 .. u know :S
[01:59] <dieselsmoke> sebsebseb: remote desktop viewer
[01:59] <sebsebseb> Alex_21: gparted will show the partitions.  and  mnt and media will show them in the file system
[01:59] <Kraft> yeah i'm already downloading the restricted extras its goin f'in slow
[01:59] <nightrid3r> java if its in the repo's sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade will do
[01:59] <rdw200169> opera, you just read it, and do what it says
[01:59] <ubp123> thanks, Alex21
[01:59] <nanotube_> sebsebseb: vinagre is the remote desktop software that's default on ubuntu
[01:59] <Kraft> i went to taco bell and came back and it was still downloading
[01:59] <hmw> rdw200169: at least he was honest about what he (or anybody asking for certain codecs) is doing.
[01:59] <KenBW2> opera: you can just use nano instead
[02:00] <nightrid3r> dreamy you could run the webserver on port 8000 for example
[02:00] <kesi> nanotube, no
[02:00] <sebsebseb> vinagree is for noobs :)    I do  VNC tunneld over SSH properly using commands and that
[02:00] <Alex_21> YOu can use one of Dyndns' services for forwarding ports
[02:00] <KenBW2> sebsebseb: what ana amzingly worthwhile comment that was
[02:00] <nightrid3r> dreamy then use http://your.ip:8000 to reach it
[02:01] <dreamy> nightrid3r: whould the client automaticly get there just by typing the adress ?
[02:01] <dreamy> well then id had to be put :8000
[02:01] <Alex_21> I need to know howto see the drives without using anything not on the install cd
[02:01] <nanotube_> kesi: so telnet to localhost 5900 doesn't work? then either (a) vinagre server isn't running, or (b) it's running on a different port.
[02:01] <SuperDefenderX> What is LibGL?
[02:01] <Kraft> i went to this one guys house and he had an S-Video hookup to this 60" TV, it was like computer heaven he must have been a really big tech guy
[02:01] <nightrid3r> dreamy with the port number added , yes
[02:01] <maxagaz> is it possible to access from a terminal a folder mounted using "Connect to Server..." in Gnome ?
[02:01] <rdw200169> opera, yeah, vim is rather... confusing... from the outset, if you're not interested in learning some of its... subtleties... nano is a good alternative, especially if you're only doing minor editing of config files (etc...)
[02:01] <SuperDefenderX> .loading libGL.so.1: Segmentation fault
[02:01] <nanotube_> kesi: assuming tha tyou set your firewall to allow anything from localhost. :)
[02:01] <opera> rdw ,i see.
[02:01] <sebsebseb> kesi:  want to know how to do VNC  encrypted and properly over SSH?
[02:01] <dreamy> nightrid3r: why do they block it ? :S
[02:01] <Kraft> that is where i bought my linux box off of
[02:01] <kesi> nanotube, I set the port manually to 5900
[02:02] <ubp123> how many bots could be joined the chat in this room ? i mean, how many the rest humanbeings lol
[02:02] <nightrid3r> dreamy to sell you overpriced hosting
[02:02] <kesi> sebsebseb, no.   But I'm not concerned about it with this comp.
[02:02] <dreamy> :S okey
[02:02] <Kraft> im human being..................lol.........
[02:02] <nanotube_> kesi: well check if it's running, do a "netstat -plantu" to see what  you have sitting on open ports.
[02:02] <Kraft> i was in the marines for ten years
[02:02] <ubp123> okie lol
[02:02] <Titan8990> dreamy, we don't support getting around regulations that either your ISP or system administrator have put in place
[02:02] <Titan8990> dreamy, or atleast I don't support it
[02:02] <Alex_21> I need to know what drives are fically installed in a drive while still in the installer
[02:02] <hmw> ubp123: type "/join #ubuntu-offtopic" to see a lot of chat-bots ;-)
[02:03] <rdw200169> opera, personally, i live in vim, but that doesn't mean you have to.  i admit, i only use vim for my larger projects... for small stuff i'm quite content w/using nano.   long story short, vim has many, many brilliant features, they are just difficult to figure out because it doesn't act like anything you've used before
[02:03] <kesi> nanotube, hmmm.. can't grep vinagre or 5900 out of there and don't see anything.
[02:03] <dreamy> Titan8990: you mean u dont like them ? .. regulations?
[02:03] <coreyman> how do i remove ekiga softphone?
[02:03] <dreamy> the isp regulations
[02:03] <Alex_21> How do you mount it
[02:03] <sebsebseb> Kraft: ok, but that does not mean you know  about cyber security,  encryption and such
[02:03] <Kraft> ekiga is pretty cool, skype is better though
[02:03] <Titan8990> dreamy, I hate the regulations but I am saying that I can't help you bypass them
[02:03] <kesi> nanotube, let me try rebooting.
[02:03] <dieselsmoke> kesi: vinagre is the client, vino-server is the server
[02:03] <dreamy> okey
[02:04] <kesi> dieselsmoke, ahh ok.
[02:04] <Kraft> yeah i agree
[02:04] <nanotube_> kesi: well, so vinagre server is not running, make sure to start it up.
[02:04] <Kraft> im a beginner
[02:04] <ubp123> hmmm bots would talk about office biz lol, thankls
[02:04] <Alex_21> Please
[02:04] <kesi> dieselsmoke, not seeing vino in a pgrep
[02:04] <ubp123> thanks lol
[02:04] <rdw200169> opera, but it can be a full-fledged programming environment (IDE) if you want it to be, using addons and such; the people that like vim so much (and consequentially emacs), are those that can type *very* well, and don't appreciate using a mouse for doing anything
[02:04] <dreamy> Titan8990: but what diferent whould it make if its showing on a search engine? can the user get there..
[02:04] <kesi> nanotube, how do I start this up?
[02:04] <sebsebseb> Kraft: ok if you do non encrypted VNC,   people  can pick up on the connection
[02:04] <Kraft> thats why i was reading the pdf file i stumbled upon in the forums
[02:04] <sebsebseb> Kraft: and then gain access to the computer being vnced
[02:04] <dreamy> sorry for my bad keyboard
[02:04] <dieselsmoke> kesi: vino would be on the remote box
[02:05] <Kraft> so theyre like wardriving or hacking my comp
[02:05] <Alex_21> Sebsebs: How do you view the different drive?
[02:05] <nanotube_> kesi: you can either do it from the gui somewhere (i'm not on my ubuntu machine, so can't check, but probably in preferences -> remote desktop), or from the cli start vino-server
[02:05] <Kraft> theyre gonna find a bunch of porn than
[02:05] <rdw200169> Kraft, i was in the army for 7 years (now im a guardsman)
[02:05] <Kraft> hahaha
[02:05] <kesi> dieselsmoke, I know.. I'm ssh'd into it.
[02:05] <Kraft> sounds like fun
[02:05] <archerseven> question, using an intel quad core, can you use the 64 bit version of Ubuntu, or is there a better way to get it to see all 4 gig of ram?
[02:05] <dieselsmoke> kesi: you need to enable it.
[02:05] <Kraft> i was ambushed in afghanistan now i get $2,000 for free the rest of my life
[02:05] <dreamy> Titan8990: even in port 8000 its shows on the search engine i hope?
[02:05] <kesi> nanotube, start: Unknown job: vino-server
[02:05] <nightrid3r> dreamy if they catch you they will disconnect your net and other random nasty stuff
[02:05] <MindVirus> I'm starting to get sick of this.
[02:06] <MindVirus> When I right click on something, retarded behavior occurs.
[02:06] <nanotube_> kesi: don't type "start" :)
[02:06] <opera> rdw , i am a new ubuntu user . i will consider your advise .
[02:06] <kesi> dieselsmoke, I did enable it... I went into preferences then remote desktop, enabled it and set a password.
[02:06] <MindVirus> I have to hold down the right mouse button.
[02:06] <hogwash> hi
[02:06] <MindVirus> And sometimes the computer thinks I let go.
[02:06]  * hogwash has his wireless network working.
[02:06] <sebsebseb> hogwash: hi
[02:06] <TheGambler> Is it considered lame to use GUI tools to manage LAMP?
[02:06] <kesi> nanotube, what do you want me to type
[02:06] <hogwash> you guys rock
[02:06] <rdw200169> Kraft, were you hurt? ... ah, wait, we should talk that here, they'll tell us its offtopic (#ubuntu-offtopic)
[02:06] <dieselsmoke> kesi: look in prefs - sessions, enable it there
[02:06] <Mr_Giraffe> hey, i'm trying to play warsow (and other FPSes) and for some reason when i click to shoot there's like a 0.5 - 1 second lag every time
[02:06] <kesi> dieselsmoke, ok
[02:06] <hogwash> the jackoffs in #kubuntu dont know jack squat
[02:06] <ubp123> i too a novice in this chatting system. lol
[02:06] <sebsebseb> TheGambler: ha maybe, but  I guess use whatever works for you
[02:06] <Mr_Giraffe> does anybody do any gaming in ubuntu>
[02:06] <nightrid3r> TheGambler nope
[02:06] <Mr_Giraffe> er, ?*
[02:06] <hogwash> Mr_Giraffe: i do
[02:07] <sebsebseb> Mr_Giraffe: yes a lot of good games for Linux as well
[02:07] <nanotube_> kesi: just "vino-server" might do it.assuming the default config is sane.
[02:07] <TheGambler> okay, is PhpMyAdmin the way to go if you want GUI?
[02:07] <hogwash> Mr_Giraffe: i play unreal tornament 2004, quake wars, and doom3
[02:07] <rdw200169> opera, what are you looking for in a text editor?  this is the important question... in linux, there are lots and lots of options for text editors, each with their own subtle features
[02:07] <Mr_Giraffe> hogwash: my mouse clicks are lagging terribly whenever i play warsow
[02:07] <Mr_Giraffe> like half a second at least
[02:07] <Mr_Giraffe> it's practically unplayable and i don't get what the issue is
[02:07] <kesi> nanotube, it doesn't.
[02:07] <nightrid3r> TheGambler i'm a fan of webmin, it allows you to configure allot of stuff
[02:08] <TheGambler> nightrid3r: thanks. I will take a look
[02:08] <Alex_21> Sebsebseb: How do you view the different drive?s
[02:08] <kesi> dieselsmoke, it's not listed there.  What command needs to be enabled?
[02:08] <Alex_21> Please
[02:08] <Jufis> How can I remove the active window title shadowing?
[02:08] <sebsebseb> Alex_21: your on LIve CD?
[02:08] <dieselsmoke> kesi: i'll look.
[02:08] <Alex_21> No, Alternate, but I was forced to drop into the shell
[02:08] <rdw200169> opera, ah, i forgot to mention.  if you want to use vim, but find it too difficult at the outset, there is a version of it called cream.  that, or you can use gvim... they are both (sort-of) easier to use gui versions of vim
[02:08] <TheGambler> nightrid3r: oh wow, it does more than just PHP and MySQL. Nice
[02:08] <sebsebseb> Alex_21: oh alternate hummmmmm
[02:09] <sebsebseb> Alex_21: why did you go alternte?
[02:09] <nanotube_> kesi: sorry not on my *nix machine, so that's all i have for now :)
[02:09] <Alex_21> Sebsebseb: But I have no GUI
[02:09] <nightrid3r> TheGambler thats why i like it
[02:09] <hogwash> Mr_Giraffe: tell #xorg
[02:09] <TheGambler> nightrid3r: thanks
[02:09] <sebsebseb> Alex_21: yes you need the desktop CD for a graphical installer
[02:09] <Mr_Giraffe> hogwash: kk
[02:09] <nanotube_> kesi: maybe dieselsmoke will figure it out :)
[02:09] <devilsF001> hi can anyone tell me if my server should have a record for it's self in /proc/net/arp?
[02:09] <sebsebseb> Alex_21: and partition program
[02:09] <dreamy> nightrid3r: damn :S
[02:09] <dreamy> sorry .. got disconected
[02:09] <kesi> nanotube, I hope
[02:09] <opera> than you rdw.
[02:09] <nightrid3r> TheGambler virtualmin is also great for web stuff
[02:09] <TheGambler> nightrid3r: that will be especially nice to use via iPhone at 3AM instead of a command prompt
[02:10] <ubp123> how most can chage the updated ubutu to the debian machine on purpose ?
[02:10] <Alex_21> Sebsebseb: The desktop system is horrible. I memorized the alternate installer, being blind and all.
[02:10] <sebsebseb> Alex_21: now that's something I never had a reason to do, partition my hard disk using commands
[02:10] <nightrid3r> dreamy your isp just installed a probe :)
[02:10] <rdw200169> opera, that, or you can use gedit, even with sudo, instead of a terminal text editor
[02:10] <MindVirus> When I right click on something, retarded behavior occurs -- if I just right click then it, then the first item menu is automatically selected without me even seeing it. If I hold the right mouse button down then the menu stays but it sometimes lets go when I didn't even let go of the mouse.
[02:10] <MindVirus> Please help.
[02:10] <dreamy> nightrid3r: lol
[02:10] <sebsebseb> Alex_21: blind hummmmmm
[02:10] <Alex_21> Yeppers
[02:10] <hmw> MindVirus: are you using some 3D app in compiz, perhaps?
[02:11] <dieselsmoke> kesi: did you enable remote desktop? try /usr/share/vino
[02:11] <sebsebseb> Alex_21: I would help, but  I can't on that one sorry,  I haven't actsaully used the alternate CD yet
[02:11] <SuperDefenderX> Anyone know how to install glibc-2.1?
[02:11] <hogwash> can someone guide me to ATI radeon drivers?  http://rafb.net/p/X6udea44.html  <---- lspci
[02:11] <kesi> dieselsmoke, try what, typing that?
[02:11] <Alex_21> Sebsebseb: Yeppers, but I'm comfortable with the shell. I tried the 6.06 instructions, but they didn't work
[02:11] <dreamy> nightrid3r: but the part of puting the page in a search engine..  may work  you think so ?
[02:11] <hmw> !radeon | hogwash
[02:12] <Jufis> How can I remove the active window title shadowing?
[02:12] <MindVirus> hmw, yes.
[02:12] <hogwash> thanx pal
[02:12] <MindVirus> I just switched to metacity to see if it'll work.
[02:12] <nightrid3r> dreamy yes
[02:12] <dieselsmoke> kesi: on the remote box, yes, it may start the service.
[02:12] <sebsebseb> Alex_21: Blind Gentoo user   I know where to find one of those
[02:12] <MellowDude> i need help i try to remove flashplayer and it says its not installed but it is
[02:12] <MindVirus> Yes, it works, hmw. Thanks.
[02:12] <MindVirus> I'll talk to the Compiz guys about it.
[02:12] <sebsebseb> Alex_21: ,but in general  when it comes to computers,  don't really think about how the blind might also be using Ubuntu or something like this
[02:13] <ubp123> is that metacity bring most from the ubuntu to debian machines ???
[02:13] <coreyman> I want to create a CD from the UBUNTU installed on my hard disk. Where should I look for information.
[02:13] <TheGambler> I have preferred NXServer so far for remote desktop
[02:13] <nightrid3r> sebsebseb in general i don't think at all :)
[02:13] <sebsebseb> coreyman: you  don't make a CD from your installed Ubuntu system
[02:13] <Alex_21> Sebsebseb: Thanks
[02:13] <coreyman> sebsebseb why can't I
[02:13] <sebsebseb> coreyman: maye you can, but you just don't
[02:13] <dieselsmoke> kesi: starting my other system, one sec
[02:13] <kesi> dieselsmoke, not sure what you mean, that's a directory..
[02:14] <coreyman> sebsebseb I want to make an ubuntu install with everything I have here now.
[02:14] <dieselsmoke> kesi: nod. sec
[02:14] <sebsebseb> coreyman: if you want to be able to use an installed Ubuntu system on differnet computers say,  I would suggest making it into a virtual machine
[02:14] <nickrud> puregnome
[02:14] <nickrud> !puregnome
[02:14] <TheGambler> when you see a package available for Debian, does that mean it will run on Ubuntu Heron?
[02:14] <MellowDude> help flashplayer will not remove its installed but it says its not
[02:14] <SuperDefenderX> !help
[02:14] <sebsebseb> coreyman: heh waht you got installed there now,  probably not a lot :D
[02:14] <dreamy> nightrid3r: its has eazy has doing a sort of quick and simple indexing i think..
[02:15] <sebsebseb> coreyman: if I wa helping you install stuff though, oh man you would have a lot :)
[02:15] <sebsebseb> coreyman: a lot of good stuff
[02:15] <balrog__> how do i set the default java version to sun java?
[02:15] <coreyman> sebsebseb yea i only have what i need right now
[02:15] <Alex_21> Thanks all for the help
[02:15] <Alex_21> Good night
[02:15] <ubp123> what's kde..just for school kids or their teachers ? lol
[02:15] <nightrid3r> TheGambler don't, youl fsck up your system
[02:15] <TheGambler> nightrid3r: which virtualmin works on Heron then? None?
[02:15] <sebsebseb> coreyman: and you got with Synaptic package maanger or add or remove I assume, but ways slow.   terminal much quicker when you know the names of programs to install
[02:16] <nightrid3r> TheGambler grab the tar from the site and use that
[02:16] <sebsebseb> coreyman: grahpical program  installers are slow,  terminal is fast
[02:16] <TheGambler> nightrid3r: cool thanks
[02:16] <TheGambler> nightrid3r: dpkg I guess?
[02:16] <sebsebseb> coreyman: weren't you the one that had xorg problems?????
[02:16] <nightrid3r> TheGambler nope
[02:16] <coreyman> sebsebseb yes, and I am using terminal
[02:16]  * TheGambler is a noob, but an avid learner
[02:16] <sebsebseb> coreyman: your xorg alright now?
[02:16] <coreyman> sebsebseb no
[02:17] <TheGambler> nightrid3r: what to install with, if not dpkg?
[02:17] <ubp123> yes i had been puzzed by such xorg display goofys lol
[02:17] <nightrid3r> TheGambler tar xzvf webmin.tarfile cd new_dir sudo ./setup.sh /usr/local/webmin
[02:17] <TheGambler> nightrid3r: :) thanks
[02:17] <sebsebseb> upgrdman: yep Xorg can be a right bitch to set up
[02:17] <coreyman> sebsebseb the hard part was configured the desktop to look good.
[02:17] <Kraft> can you be on two irc servers at one time.....?
[02:17] <dieselsmoke> kesi: look for remote desktop in prefs/sessions, after you enable remote desktop. vino-server should start
[02:17] <coreyman> configuring*
[02:17] <coreyman> Kraft: yes
[02:17] <sebsebseb> Kraft: yes
[02:17] <kesi> dieselsmoke, it doesn't.
[02:17] <dieselsmoke> Kraft: yes you can
[02:17] <hmw> how would I make my Ubuntu hibernating from the shell?
[02:17] <Kraft> i want to see if my buddies are still on my old channel
[02:18] <dreamy> nightrid3r: are you a web designer ;)
[02:18] <dreamy> ?
[02:18] <ubp123> with one stone, two meats ?
[02:18] <sebsebseb> hmw: hibernation is a problem area with the Linux kernel
[02:18] <dieselsmoke> kesi: not listed in startup programs?
[02:18] <sebsebseb> hmw: and so a lot of hibernations won't work
[02:18] <nightrid3r> dreamy no

[02:20] <ubp123> whats flashplay doing after saving.. just moved to the still video ?
[02:20] <coreyman> MellowDude thats likely not the name.
[02:20] <dieselsmoke> kesi: try /usr/lib/vino/vino-server on 32 bit systems
[02:20] <Blast> how do i install Debian?
[02:20] <sebsebseb> MellowDude: I think it's called:  flashplayer-nonfree
[02:21] <sebsebseb> Blast: by installing it :d
[02:21] <louis```> thanks nightrid3r
[02:21] <sebsebseb> Blast: Debian is not Ubuntu
[02:21] <MellowDude> Package flashplugin-nonfree is not installed, so not removed

[02:22] <kesi> dieselsmoke, local only was unchecked
[02:22] <Cpudan80> Anyone having problems with pidgin segfaulting lately?
[02:22] <sebsebseb> kesi: using  unencrypted VNC  and talking about it in IRC, well  people can  exploit that
[02:22] <hogwash> hmw: that you link you had teh bot give me doesent seem to be up to date with 8.10
[02:22] <ubp123> if the installation commands and the maintenace commands were identical.. most fool would thing them as being the same lol
[02:23] <Cpudan80> All the latest updates and everything, pidgin starts and dies (AIM and GMail accounts are connected to it)
[02:23] <ubp123> woud think
[02:23] <dieselsmoke> kesi: looks like its running but the port is already bound, try another port or find whats using 5900
[02:23] <kesi> sebsebseb, not worried about it, this computer will only have lan access.
[02:23] <kesi> dieselsmoke, ok.
[02:24] <dieselsmoke> kesi: hopefully youre behind a firewall
[02:24] <sebsebseb> kesi: 5900  I don't even need that open  in my router :)   all I need is the SSH port open
[02:24] <kesi> dieselsmoke, obviously.
[02:24] <kesi> dieselsmoke, how can I tell what's open on 5900
[02:24] <_VIM_> same here sebsebseb, that's what i do, tunnel ftw
[02:24] <sebsebseb> kesi: Kesi you should keep the computer your using secure and that's that.  if not  bad things can happen to your Ubuntu installl as well
[02:24] <hmw> hogwash: I dont know, really. But I know, that uncleanly shutting down windows leaves the partition in a state, in which it cant be mounted under Linux.
[02:24] <dieselsmoke> kesi: netstat -tuap
[02:24] <kesi> sebsebseb, this is not helpful.  please don't lecture me.
[02:24] <sebsebseb> _VIM_: indeed and here I am mentining to  Kesi how he should make it secure, and he does not seem to understand why
[02:24] <_VIM_> lol
[02:25] <TheGambler> nightrid3r: did I fsck up my system when I installed NXServer via dpkg ?
[02:25] <kesi> sebsebseb, I understand, as I have said repeatedly I don't care.
[02:25] <sebsebseb> kesi: well not my problem if your computer gets cracked into, because you didn't secure it properly
[02:25] <kesi> sebsebseb, you're right, it isn't so lets be done with this.
[02:25] <dieselsmoke> kesi: you might try not using encrytion
[02:25] <nightrid3r> TheGambler if it came from ubuntu not, else only the future will tell
[02:25] <kesi> dieselsmoke, I disabled that.
[02:25] <hogwash> hmw: you got the wrong guy, i was asking about ati drivers.
[02:25] <TheGambler> nightrid3r: It came from NoMachine :(
[02:25] <hogwash> for 8.1
[02:26] <sebsebseb> kesi: if you don't care, how about using Windows without proper security,  like most computer users do,  and then get  your computer taken over by criminals, without you having any idea.   oh right yeah  without a firewall and  bad  sudo password  they can do stuff to Ubuntu anyway
[02:26] <kesi> sebsebseb, get over yourself.
[02:26] <dieselsmoke> kesi: set remote server to use a different port, whats using 5900? try restarting
[02:26] <nightrid3r> TheGambler if i remeber correct they will not give problem
[02:26] <TheGambler> nightrid3r: whew :)
[02:26] <rovar> i have some usb headphones. Kubuntu recognizes them and even responds when i use the sound control.. it plays sounds when starting and exiting kubuntu, however, all other applications don't play sound
[02:26] <sebsebseb> _VIM_:  LOL at that guy
[02:26] <kesi> dieselsmoke, already restarted.  looking through netstat now, the switches you gave me didn't work
[02:26] <rovar> my guess is they're still attempting to access my built in sound card
[02:26] <rovar> any idea as to how to debug/override this?
[02:27] <dieselsmoke> kesi: netstat -tunap  works
[02:27] <sebsebseb> kesi: heh maybe you should run Ubuntu as root all the time and run IRC,  that's also  a major security risk,   in fact  people get booted out of channels if they do that, not sure about this one though
[02:27] <kesi> dieselsmoke, it says vino server on 5900
[02:27] <arthus> I'm having trouble mounting my SMB share from OSX
[02:27] <ubp123> hmmm ,as far as using usb headphones..nothing to do with your other conventional devices i guess lol
[02:27] <hmw> hogwash: I gave you the !ati factoid? Shouldnt be outdated... well... you could try help.ubuntu.com or asking a specific question
[02:27] <arthus> it's an ubuntu server, osx laptop
[02:27] <kesi> sebsebseb, why don't you find something better to do with your time then bother me.
[02:28] <dieselsmoke> kesi: whats the error using the viewer? let the viewer search
[02:28] <hmw> !coc | kesi sebsebseb
[02:28] <kesi> dieselsmoke, it's working now.. .
[02:28] <dieselsmoke> kesi: cool.
[02:28] <g0tcha> rdw200169, it says /etc/X11/Xsession: 75: cannot create /dev/null: permission denied .. then it shots down
[02:28] <kesi> hmw, I just want him to leave me alone..
[02:28] <sebsebseb> kesi: most people appreciate security advice I think, but you don't well  as I said already, not my problem if  bad things happen to your computer
[02:28] <kesi> thanks dieselsmoke
[02:29] <D3RGPS31> Is there an equivalent of Rosetta Stone for Ubuntu?
[02:29] <hmw> kesi: In that case, do stop talking to him
[02:29] <nightrid3r> arthus if ubuntu still supports netatalk you can use that, its the native apple stuff
[02:29] <sebsebseb> hmw:  indeed  maybe braking some rule by  carrying on with it
[02:29] <kesi> hmw, can't you mute him?
[02:29] <sebsebseb> kesi:  I am done!
[02:29] <arthus> nightrid3r: what's netatalk?
[02:29] <kesi> finally!
[02:29] <kesi> thanks dieselsmoke
[02:29] <Hornet> heh, 1337 users :)
[02:29] <nightrid3r> arthus apple networking, like smb in windows
[02:30] <ubp123> hmw..were you a sort of female for correcting ubuntu os ?
[02:30] <sebsebseb> kesi: in conclusion: now  unecnrypted VNC    probably nothing would happen, but  something may happen, so that's something to think about
[02:30] <dieselsmoke> kesi: set security in remote deasktop, ask for confirmation, and a pass
[02:30] <arthus> nightrid3r: afp?
[02:30] <hmw> kesi sebsebseb: be nice *g* and ignoring certain people is something, your IRC clients can do. Try to stay with the pure facts in here, there is so much traffic!
[02:30] <kesi> didn't he say he was done?
[02:30] <nightrid3r> arthus i don't know if ubuntu supports this, maybe google for it
[02:30] <rdw200169> g0tcha, you got that when you ran 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start'?
[02:30] <kesi> dieselsmoke, I did thanks.
[02:30] <sebsebseb> yep  now  I am that was the last thing  hence a conclusion
[02:31] <hmw> ubp123: what? *confused*
[02:31] <g0tcha> rdw200169, no i get GNOME has started when i run that command, then i get what i showed you when i try to startx
[02:31] <nightrid3r> ubp123 this channel is only big enough for 1 autistic retard and i aint leaving
[02:31] <D3RGPS31>  Is there an equivalent of Rosetta Stone for Ubuntu
[02:31] <ubp123> most can separe your roots from your agent user names respectively ?

[02:43] <hmw> D3RGPS31: google results indicate, there is no *nix version of the software. Searching for +ubuntu "rosetta stone" brings up several interesting looking results, though.

[03:05] <ecret> hmw: i use emacs so rarely use save as. this stinks

[03:06] <crdlb> Cpudan80: iwlist <interface> scan?
[03:06] <ubp123> with ubuntu,,why my opera in japanese shown wrong while the same with fedora in good order ??
[03:07] <leeroy> there just ports for playing and old game that i have 2300-2400 but i have a dmz to my laptop and the eth of the laptop to the comp is  it to do with nat ???
[03:07] <ecret> hmw: every program that has save as it crashes.  Yet I can browse OK using the file manager . just not with save as where it crashes
[03:07] <hmw> ecret: what is your language setting in ubuntu?
[03:07] <ecret> hmw: english
[03:08] <horndog> leeroy, Do you have a router set to DHCP?
[03:08] <nightrid3r> ubp123 try #ubuntu-jp it will be easy

[03:08] <opera> ubp123, why not use firefox?
[03:08] <zerocomm> hey i have a quick question, my girlfriends ubuntu box froze for the first time in ages and now her resolution is all messed up. if i was there i could fix the xorg.conf but im in a diff state. is there someway to automatically fix the resolution? she can't pick options from the menu in gnome because theres not enough space in the screen
[03:08] <ubp123> firefox is a bit slow with ubuntus
[03:08] <keevie> i have some more userful error messages:E: alsa-util.c: Error opening PCM device hw:0: Device or resource busy

[03:09] <holyguyver> I was in firefox watching a youtube video & then firefox froze this horrible 'etetetetetetetetetet" sound is stuck playing, I killed off firefox, but the sound remains & when I try to open a terminal the terminal freezes at startup &thus I cannot type anything into it. What happened & how can I fix it?
[03:09] <leeroy> yep on the wireless side but manual on the eth side i could connect to xbox live using the same method ???
[03:09] <ecret> zerocomm tell her to hold shift and drag the window
[03:09] <keevie> from trying to restart pulseaudio in /etc/init.d
[03:09] <dieselsmoke> Cpudan80: read the router's label it will show the hardware address
[03:09] <hmw> ecret: More details, please: CPU type, Ubuntu version, RAM size, unusual changes to the Gnome UI, maybe you remember, what you isntalled, before the bug appeared?
[03:09] <storbeck> zerocomm: SSH to her box and run the xorg reconfigure
[03:09] <zerocomm> thanks ecret
[03:09] <leeroy> with my 360 obv lol
[03:09] <horndog> leeroy, do you have your ports forwarded in the router?
[03:10] <zerocomm> ecret: where should she drag the window from?
[03:10] <zerocomm> what do you mean
[03:10] <fearful> Pici: any ideas?
[03:10] <storbeck> zerocomm: just run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg
[03:10] <armence> So, question for everyone. I want to ensure that only people with the root password will be able to perform administrative tasks. (It's just me for now, but I foresee adding an anonymous account soon) How can I do that?
[03:10] <Cpudan80> dieselsmoke: yeah I got it - thanks
[03:10] <leeroy> i have DMZ on the router (demilitarized zone)
[03:10] <Pici> fearful: What does apt-cache policy perl-base say?
[03:10] <ecret> hmw i have used ubuntu for a year now , got hardy heron, 64bit, 4gigs ram.  Kde.  I recently installed a kde svn ide plugin similar to tortoise.
[03:10] <dieselsmoke> zerocomm: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:11] <leeroy> to the wireless of the laptop
[03:11] <keevie> armence, type sudo visudo, that file specifies who has root
[03:11] <ubp123> with ubunts anybody can have sudo root password automatically..
[03:11] <horndog> leeroy,  are using your computer as a server?
[03:11] <ecret> zerocomm: err yeah sorry their right.  incidentally i was thinking of alt, not shift.
[03:11] <keevie> ubottu, well, not exactly automatically
[03:11] <fearful> Pici: http://paste.ubuntu.com/126117/
[03:11] <leeroy> no just a typical xp install
[03:12] <hmw> ecret: Hmm. I don't know KDE nor Gnome internals. If youre lucky, you find hints in the log files and you could also run a program with strace to see, where the crash happenes.
[03:12] <ubp123> i cannot tell the boundary between servers and desktop or the master or the slave lol
[03:12] <dieselsmoke> armence: adduser username admin  or run visudo
[03:12] <keevie> erg, can anyone help me with my seemingly messed up sound stuff?
[03:12] <hogwash> hi
[03:12] <ecret> hmw: I will go on a uninstalling rampage
[03:12] <zerocomm> ecret - any way to do it without alt? shes running an apple keyboard and alt is a little bit sketchy lol
[03:12] <hogwash> i just installed my wireless atheros drivers, they were working great,  now after i rebooted, the signal strenth is half as it was previously
[03:13] <hogwash> whats the big idea.
[03:13] <[Tequila]> Just intalled 8.10 server edition and created a locked directory... Please inform me on how to mount/unlock it
[03:13] <armence> dieselsmoke: I just ran visudo. How should I modify it?
[03:13] <hmw> ecret: A svn version sounds suspicious, naturally. Uninstalling might help. You might consider reinstalling Ubuntu. Try strace <program> in a shell and look at the output.
[03:13] <hogwash> my laptop didnt change location
[03:13] <horndog> leeroy, No. I mean is  your game setup as a server or just a single player?
[03:13] <ecret> hmw: i am not familair with reinstalling ubuntu.  Will I lose my user settings or programs if I upgrades say to 8.10?
[03:14] <keevie> armence, to give a user root, root    ALL=(ALL) ALL
[03:14] <Comrade-Sergei> how do i set DNS manually with ubuntu server?
[03:14] <leeroy> o sorry im useing gamespy to connect to others serving and me serving doesnt work either
[03:14] <keevie> armence, replace root with the username
[03:14] <horndog> leeroy, You don't need ports open to play as a single player
[03:14] <Pici> fearful: Where did you get -19?
[03:14] <hmw> ecret: I was talking about a complete wipe of the system. You could keep the home dirs, but that might be unwise, since there are configuration data in there, too. You could try to create a new user and test, if the bug appears in the new context.
[03:14] <narothepharoh> how do I burn a true mp3 cd in k3b or other?

[03:14] <ubp123> why i cannot peep the newest version 8.10 with my old version ubuntu web browser ?
[03:15] <armence> keevie: Isn't there a way for me to just set a password for root and then be required to enter the root password no matter what the current account is?
[03:15] <dieselsmoke> armence: under user priveleges add this line- root ALL=(ALL) ALL
[03:15] <keevie> dieselsmoke, youre a bit late, lol
[03:15] <[Tequila]> Just intalled 8.10 server edition and created a locked directory... Please inform me on how to mount/unlock it

[03:15] <casinowarren> keeps syaing something about permissions
[03:15] <Aquina> Any ideas?
[03:15] <horndog> leeroy,  Still, you don't need ports open to play online. Only so serve

[03:16] <keevie> dean, what do you mean, locked?
[03:16] <ubp123> yess the old ubuntus admin recognition program might have a dobut in a bug ??? lol
[03:16] <fearful> Pici: or the debian package website, don't remember
[03:16] <Comrade-Sergei> I just installed ubuntu server and for whatever reason it didnt grab the dns from DHCP , how do i set it manually?
[03:16] <Nytrix> is there a way to start ubuntu under "safe mode" like windows?
[03:16] <narothepharoh> how do I burn a true mp3 cd in k3b or other?
[03:16] <leeroy> ye but i cant connect to others ???
[03:16] <dean> keevie: there is no password set, but you can enable it by doing sudo passwd root
[03:16] <keevie> interesting
[03:16] <hoangdt> exit
[03:16] <horndog> leeroy,  I do it all the time with UT2004

[03:17] <leeroy> and firestarter ???
[03:17] <keevie> i've always thought it was a bit strange that there was no root user, i guess for noobish people its not good to give them root for everything
[03:17] <Comrade-Sergei> nightrid3r, thats what i thought, but there isnt one
[03:17] <zerocomm> does anybody know how to resize the resolution automatically ???
[03:17] <fearful> Pici: any fixable way of just removing without a re-install
[03:17] <Comrade-Sergei> nightrid3r, i tried to make one and it didnt help
[03:18] <Nytrix> is there a way to start ubuntu under "safe mode" like windows?
[03:18] <dieselsmoke> keevie: adduser name admin is faster/safer
[03:18] <armence> dean: I did unlock the root account and set a password for it. How do I basically allow anyone to temporarily be root? Logging out and then back in is too much of a pain...
[03:18] <[Tequila]> Just intalled 8.10 server edition and created a locked directory... Please inform me on how to mount/unlock it .. whats the proper command <<<<<<<<
[03:18] <hmw> ecret: start some gui app from the terminal with strace <appname> and make it crash. You should see, what subprogram crashes. You can pastebin the last pages of the strace output, so I can examine it.
[03:18] <armence> dean: Anyone with the root password that is
[03:18] <dean> Nytrix: there is recovery mode which drops you to a root shell
[03:18] <dean> armence: su
[03:18] <horndog> leeroy, That is the front end to IPtables and you can open ports with firestarter
[03:18] <sprinkmeier> Nytrix, ubuntu is always safe:-) do you mean single user mode?
[03:18] <hmw> ecret: dont try this with firefox, use som smaller app
[03:18] <ubp123> that's rude if all newbies were looked down as bad as not adequate root holders lol
[03:18] <ecret> hmw: was inthe process of doing that :> tho i used firefox. il try a smaller app
[03:18] <narothepharoh> how do I burn a true mp3 cd in k3b or other?
[03:18] <Nytrix> i dont know
[03:19] <horndog> !firestarter | leeroy
[03:19] <dieselsmoke> armence: add the user to the admin group gives them sudo power, dont enable root account.
[03:19] <hmw> ecret: my pc is about to crash, i did it with FF. LOL
[03:19] <whitedoor> any idea as to why ubuntu might crash 5 seconds after the 'boot' if finished?
[03:19] <fearful> Cpudan80: I think I'm just going to remove it, if I install it again will it install the programs itll remove?
[03:19] <sprinkmeier> !burn | narothepharoh
[03:19] <whitedoor> *is finished
[03:19] <leeroy> i have taken all the nessary steps in my eyes but it keeps sayin connection refused in the log
[03:19] <dean> Usually it is better to do it using sudo though and the admin group
[03:19] <Nytrix> narothepharoh, be more specific
[03:19] <nightrid3r> Comrade-Sergei nameserver 192.168.2.1 <-- put in /etc/resolv.conf (addjust ip)
[03:19] <dean> why is it called admin instead of wheel
[03:19] <Cpudan80> fearful: i suppose ... might not be able to remove it though
[03:20] <armence> dieselsmoke: Why is that better?
[03:20] <warriorforgod> _VIM_: Figured out my vim problem
[03:20] <_VIM_> what was it?
[03:20] <sprinkmeier> whitedoor, recent changes? bad HW?
[03:20] <Comrade-Sergei> nightrid3r, i did it didnt help, however there is a folder in there called resolvconf
[03:20] <ubp123> white door,, i got the same rebooting with my another machine lol
[03:20] <horndog> leeroy, What game are you playing?
[03:20] <[Tequila]> How do i mount a eCryptfs locked dir ?
[03:20] <dieselsmoke> armence: its easier than editting sudoers
[03:20] <leeroy> commandos 2 with gamespy
[03:20] <warriorforgod> _VIM_: If I run it with vim -X it starts up fine.  It has something to do with the $DISPLAY setting
[03:20] <_VIM_> ah
[03:20] <dieselsmoke> armence: make sure sudoers is chmod'd 440 too.
[03:20] <fearful> Cpudan80: this is going to remove pretty  much my whole gnome
[03:21] <fearful> Cpudan80: :(
[03:21] <nightrid3r> Comrade-Sergei weird, that was the contents of my resolv.conf and it works for me
[03:21] <whitedoor> sprinkmeier: if I do a rescue boot and type startx ... X works.. but if I boot normally the system locks after gdm starts
[03:21] <horndog> leeroy,  Is there a master server for that game?
[03:21] <tritium> horndog, leeroy: please stay on topic (ubuntu support)
[03:21] <armence> dieselsmoke: I already activated the root account though...
[03:21] <Dr_Sneese> I'm trying to compile wine cvs, but i keep getting this error 'configure: error: FreeType development files not found. Fonts will not be built. Use the --without-freetype option if you really want this.' I'm noob, and have no idea how to get around this. Any help please?
[03:21] <RickX> can someone point me to some help with samba? When I try to mount homes through Nautilus, I get an error syaing Nautilus can't mount the share.
[03:21] <leeroy> noits way to old for that it uses direct play
[03:21] <storbeck> tritium: Are you an OP?
[03:21] <dieselsmoke> armence: it can be deactivated.
[03:21] <whitedoor> so next I disabled gdm and it still locks after the text login appears.
[03:21] <keres_> how do you change the enviroment editor from vim to something else?
[03:21] <MSabino-ubuntu> whitedoor, what's your display resolution on the rescue boot?
[03:21] <keres_> in a shell
[03:21] <hmw> whitedoor: sounds like you see the desktop for 5 seconds? looks like some panel app or other auto-start things. Check out the autostarts (cant tell where you need to click, i just killed my ubuntu)
[03:22] <sprinkmeier> whitedoor, do you start X as root? is gdm configured for network logon?
[03:22] <RickX> I can get thre through smb:/server/username
[03:22] <MSabino-ubuntu> whitedoor, are you using supported modes?
[03:22] <tritium> storbeck: why?
[03:22] <onats> hi, on the network connections screen, how do i add a vpn connection? I am unable to as the add button is greyed out
[03:22] <whitedoor> yeah if I start X as root it will boot fine
[03:22] <storbeck> tritium: I was curious about how I could become an op
[03:22] <onats> !VPN
[03:22] <armence> dieselsmoke: how?
[03:22] <casinowarren> does the gksu nautilus feature work on kubuntu?
[03:22] <dieselsmoke> keres_: change environment variable
[03:22] <sprinkmeier> whitedoor, some service that only runs in multi-user mode?
[03:22] <ecret> hmw : gedit=http://pastebin.com/d48ce2728          firefox=http://pastebin.com/m17a54030
[03:22] <Comrade-Sergei> nightrid3r, it will not go to the internet...
[03:22] <fearful> Pici: if I reinstall libperl5.10 will it reinstall all the programs it will automatically remove?
[03:23] <whitedoor> but even when I disable gdm and it boots to the text login screen... it locks about 5 seconds after the login appears
[03:23] <whitedoor> yeah dunno
[03:23] <Comrade-Sergei> nightrid3r, but it will go to the router
[03:23] <sprinkmeier> whitedoor, RAM use? maybe boot live CD and run memory check
[03:23] <leeroy> this is ubuntu support
[03:23] <tritium> storbeck: you would be asked after a long period of continual contirbutions to the channel.  You don't ask.
[03:23] <horndog> leeroy,  Apparently firestarter is no on topic on this channel
[03:23] <keres_> dieselsmoke: yeah, from vim to gedit or something
[03:23] <whitedoor> I did that
[03:23] <whitedoor> ram was fine
[03:23] <horndog> leeroy, not
[03:23] <storbeck> tritium: Sounds good
[03:23] <ubp123> to me..what's the black list computers for my ubuntu os.. because at my initial loading my ubuntu advising me of such black list availability to my compuer althoug icould not peep it lol
[03:23] <ecret> leeroy another way is just to change the iptables , add the ports you need.
[03:24] <narothepharoh> Nytrix: I want to make a cd with more than the usual 80 minutes worth of music
[03:24] <dieselsmoke> armence: passwd -l root
[03:24] <MSabino-ubuntu> whitedoor, do you have a ~/.Xsession(s) file?
[03:24] <levarnu> Anyone have much luck using ubuntu for streaming DV from a camcorder? I'm losing a bet because Windows, so far, is doing a better job.
[03:24] <leeroy> ok thanks anyway and that can be an awkward task no ???
[03:24] <sprinkmeier> whitedoor, restricted graphics drivers? (sorry, getting deperate here...)
[03:24] <whitedoor> as I said... X works.
[03:24] <ubp123> nope,, Whitedoor, i checked my Xsession file..nothing written by me lol
[03:25] <horndog> leeroy, Good luck
[03:25] <Comrade-Sergei> nightrid3r, should i restart the interface?
[03:25] <leeroy> thx
[03:25] <nightrid3r> Comrade-Sergei could help yes
[03:25] <dieselsmoke> keres_: try this its easiest, sudo update-alternatives –config editor
[03:25] <sprinkmeier> whitedoor, log messages? does REISUB work?
[03:25] <Nytrix> narothepharoh, well u do know how to burn mp3s?
[03:25] <MSabino-ubuntu> but do you ahve the Xsession file?
[03:25] <MSabino-ubuntu> *have
[03:25] <casinowarren> can someone help me with my fairly miniscule problem
[03:25] <storbeck> !ask | casinowarren
[03:25] <sprinkmeier> !ask | casinowarren
[03:25] <MSabino-ubuntu> whitedoor, what ver of ubuntu is this?
[03:26] <whitedoor> 8.10
[03:26] <storbeck> sprinkmeier: I won :P
[03:26] <whitedoor> I just installed it clean
[03:26] <MSabino-ubuntu> whitedoor, is this a fresh install?
[03:26] <johnjohn101> is there a package for beneath a steel sky for ubuntu?
[03:26] <MSabino-ubuntu> hmmm
[03:26] <sprinkmeier> storbeck, not on my screen! (network latency?)
[03:26] <Comrade-Sergei> nightrid3r, how do i restart it, i cant just go up down as im connected via ssh
[03:26] <storbeck> Hehe
[03:26] <dieselsmoke> keres_: you don't want gedit in a terminal, use vi, emacs, nano curses based editors
[03:26] <casinowarren> i'm trying to install my fonts on kubuntu...but don't have permissions
[03:26] <storbeck> casinowarren: Use sudo
[03:26] <whitedoor> yeah fresh install of ubuntu 8.10
[03:26] <Nytrix> narothepharoh, u want an mp3 only cd?
[03:26] <ubp123> aint point single is the finale goal i thought lol
[03:27]  * _VIM_ stands behind dieselsmoke in that vote
[03:27] <narothepharoh> Nytrix: I know how to burn a cd with the typical 80 minutes but yes all files are mp3 k3b just goes by time or something and i cant find any option to make mp3 cd only data
[03:27] <casinowarren> ok let me see if that works
[03:27] <planetbeing> Sorry if I'm butting in, but has anyone installed Ubuntu on MacBookAir,12?
[03:27] <whitedoor> as you can tell I'm in X and its working but I'm currently logged in as root from the rescue mode
[03:27] <dieselsmoke> Nytrix: brasero does mp3 burns well.
[03:27] <whitedoor> if I do the standard boot it locks
[03:27] <planetbeing> err, MacBookAir1,2*
[03:27] <sprinkmeier> narothepharoh, if you tell k3b you're burning an audoi CD it automatically 'extracts' the MP3s. Burn a data CD.
[03:27] <ubp123> butting?
[03:27] <hmw> ecret: Hmm. there is some "Resource temporarily unavailable" - might indicate file system problems, but that's just a guess. Checking the file system shouldnt do any harm. Can you give me more of the output?
[03:27] <casinowarren> what is the right code? because i used nautilus
[03:27] <casinowarren> or is that the same one
[03:28] <nightrid3r> Comrade-Sergei you'll lose connection anyway but sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 & should do it
[03:28] <MSabino-ubuntu> whitedoor, can you check the xorg log file? it's probably in /var/log
[03:28] <Nytrix> just open cd and drag and drop mp3 files in there
[03:28] <ubp123>  using UPull computer with Ubuntu ?
[03:28] <ohzie> Is there any reason that locate wouldn't search certain places?
[03:28] <_VIM_> yep
[03:28] <ohzie> I know I have these files but I cannot find them. :[
[03:28] <storbeck> casinowarren: What do you mean?
[03:28] <java> hello
[03:28] <_VIM_> ohzie: sudo updatedb first and use sudo
[03:28] <ohzie> _VIM_, tride that
[03:28] <ohzie> tried* wow
[03:28] <ohzie> I'm just blown away
[03:29] <storbeck> ohzie: What are you looking for?
[03:29] <sprinkmeier> whitedoor, live CD? fresh 8.10 not working (except when X is running as root) is a new one for me.
[03:29] <ohzie> A movie
[03:29] <_VIM_> hmm that should work
[03:29] <ubp123> why most referring only vim ?
[03:29] <spill> anyone have a good sugestion for a 3d laucher?
[03:29] <storbeck> ohzie: find / -type -f -name yourmovie
[03:29] <narothepharoh> sprinkmeier: I tried to do to do that but it wont play in my car stereo and i have an mp3 cd i made from windows way back with like 200 songs on it and it works fine???
[03:29] <casinowarren> in ubuntu i used alt+f2 and typed in gksu nautilus
[03:29] <ubp123> to vim lol
[03:29] <planetbeing> For some reason, when I try to boot Ubuntu on MacBookAir1,2, the kernel doesn't quite get started. Things seem to crash after it tries to change video modes. The screen is black and the MacBook Air starts making scary beeping noises.
[03:29] <whitedoor> live CD wouldn't work at all
[03:29] <MSabino-ubuntu> whitedoor, there should be a single file in /var/log called Xorg.0.log
[03:29] <sprinkmeier> nightrid3r, Comrade-Sergei use ; not &!!
[03:29] <whitedoor> so I installed it
[03:29] <casinowarren> and that opend my root permissions
[03:29] <casinowarren> not working on kubuntu
[03:29] <fearful> Pici: If I download perl-base5.10-11 and install that instead of -19 will it fix?
[03:29] <Comrade-Sergei> sprinkmeier, too late
[03:29] <whitedoor> yeah I found the log
[03:30] <MSabino-ubuntu> scroll to the bottom of the logfile, whiteboor
[03:30] <MSabino-ubuntu> *whitedoor
[03:30] <Pici> fearful: I don't know
[03:30] <MSabino-ubuntu> sorry
[03:30] <MSabino-ubuntu> heh
[03:30] <FloodBot3> MSabino-ubuntu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:30] <ecret> hmw: ok i will get the entire log
[03:30] <sprinkmeier> nightrid3r, Comrade-Sergei & means 'start these at the same time", you get a race condition. ; means "start one after another
[03:30] <whitedoor> heh
[03:30] <Comrade-Sergei> nightrid3r, nope still says "connect: network is unreachable"
[03:30] <whitedoor> yeah at the bottom of the log
[03:30] <spill> anyone have a good sugestion for a 3d laucher for gnome?
[03:30] <whitedoor> no errors or anything
[03:30] <Comrade-Sergei> sprinkmeier, duly noted
[03:30] <nightrid3r> oh
[03:30] <whitedoor> but I am in X atm so ...
[03:30] <ubp123> i thought anytime the file of xorg.0.log should be erased by myself lol
[03:30] <sprinkmeier> whitedoor, live CD not working == HW does not like Ubuntu, no wonder it's acting up......
[03:31] <hmw> ecret: wait a sec
[03:31] <MSabino-ubuntu> whitedoor, look above it a couple times, and see if you see any failed attempts
[03:31] <fearful> Pici: will it be bad if I completely remove it?
[03:31] <tavis> irc.adjects.com
[03:31] <MSabino-ubuntu> whitedoor, there should be certain string's that repeat over and over, like your display driver version string
[03:31] <nightrid3r> Comrade-Sergei sounds like a routing problem, is the gateway ip the one of your modem
[03:31] <Comrade-Sergei> nightrid3r, however i can still obviously ssh in locally
[03:31] <whitedoor> nope
[03:31] <narothepharoh> sprinkmeier: I tried to do to do that but it wont play in my car stereo and i have an mp3 cd i made from windows way back with like 200 songs on it and it works fine???
[03:31] <MSabino-ubuntu> whitedoor, once per startx attempt
[03:31] <whitedoor> nvidia
[03:31] <spill> anyone have a good sugestion for a 3d laucher for gnome?
[03:32] <storbeck> spill: What do you mean by 3d launcher?
[03:32] <Comrade-Sergei> nightrid3r, well theres a wireless router between them that acts as a wired switch as well
[03:32] <sprinkmeier> whitedoor, you're running X as root, not as user.
[03:32] <whitedoor> yes
[03:32] <_VIM_> !repeat > spill
[03:32] <whitedoor> I'm running X as root
[03:32] <ubp123> and perhaps you can edit your xorg.conf with vim lol
[03:32] <ohzie> _VIM_, I found it, it was on a usb hard drive
[03:32] <ohzie> apparently updatedb doesn't look at those
[03:32] <ohzie> >:|
[03:32] <lasivian> what is a good portable MP3 player that is ubuntu "happy"?
[03:32] <sprinkmeier> narothepharoh, examine the mp3 CD, does it need a special format? heck, if windows works for you, use that :-)
[03:32] <hmw> ecret: i guess, youre getting the output by selecting the stuff in the terminal? if so, just type "-------------------" to mark the location, before using "ave as".
[03:32] <_VIM_> udb123 haha
[03:32] <storbeck> ohzie: Please do not confuse locate with find
[03:32] <ohzie> storbeck, What's the difference?
[03:33] <_VIM_> ohzie: glad you found it
[03:33] <ecret> hmw ok and yes i am copy pasting
[03:33] <lasivian> storbeck: I hate that, I do it constantly, heh
[03:33] <ubp123> ohh hi, i didnt know of your name being _VIM...sorry and hi
[03:33] <_VIM_> hehe hiya :)
[03:33] <spill> storbeck: I'm looking for an alternative to awn.
[03:33] <sprinkmeier> whitedoor, no error logs.. works as root but not user... sorry, I'm out if ideas/suggestions (other than change HW to something the live-CD likes)
[03:34] <_VIM_> spill cairo-dock

[03:34] <narothepharoh> sprinkmeier: Dude I havent used windows in years just using it as an example in hopes that you would understand my question and have an answer so there is no need to be rude just tell me you dont know how to do that... Thanks anyway
[03:34] <_VIM_> or some other compositing window manager
[03:34] <spill> _VIM_: cool, I'll check it out, I'm runing compiz now anyways.
[03:34] <_VIM_> spill you'll love it

[03:34] <jeeves> has anyone found a way of getting Kismet to work with an Intel 3945ABG card?
[03:34] <planetbeing> One more try: No one has a comment about my MacBookAir1,2 issue? Any idea where I can get help with my issue?
[03:35] <narothepharoh> so does anybody know a way to burn a mp3 cd with more than the typical 80 minutes of songs?
[03:35] <cdm10> narothepharoh: an mp3 CD should have way more than 80 minutes on it...
[03:35] <cdm10> 80 minutes is like a standard audio CD.
[03:35] <_VIM_> spill make sure you get the cairo themes though, the one by default is kinda plain
[03:35] <nightrid3r> narothepharoh burn it as a data cd not as audio
[03:35] <cdm10> narothepharoh: how are you burning?
[03:35] <Comrade-Sergei> test
[03:36] <Titan8990> Comrade-Sergei, working
[03:36] <sprinkmeier> narothepharoh, yes, burn it as a data cd. the problem seems to be that your car player cannot read/understand them, so maybe the question is "how do I format a data CD which happens to hold MP3's so that my car player can read it?"
[03:36] <spill> _VIM_: k, thanks, screenshots look sweet.
[03:36] <narothepharoh> cdm10: I am using k3b and yes i understand that
[03:36] <Titan8990> Comrade-Sergei, in the future, you can use !test
[03:36] <ecret> hmw : http://pastebin.com/m4f3a06a2
[03:36] <Titan8990> !test | Comrade-Sergei
[03:36] <MSabino-ubuntu> narothepharoh, burn as a data cd... just burn the files to disc as you would any other group of files... the mp3 player will find the files in the root of the cd, and play them
[03:36] <fearful> Titan8990: hey
[03:36] <Titan8990> fearful, hiya
[03:36] <jeeves> has anyone found a way of getting Kismet to work with an Intel 3945ABG card?
[03:37] <narothepharoh> ok sprinkmeier how do i do that??
[03:37] <Titan8990> fearful, was helping you before I went to work, right?
[03:37] <sprinkmeier> narothepharoh, look at the MP3 CD you burns in windows and try to duplicate the format.

[03:37] <zelrikriando> ubp123, ?
[03:38] <storbeck> java: mysql -u java -p     then type in your password when it prompts you for it

[03:38] <MagicDuck> hi, I need to install the nvidia 173.14.16 from jaunty (it contains a fix that makes KDE4 work better from what I hear). How would I go about that. I am currently running interpid.
[03:38] <hmw> ecret: please pastebin the file /usr/lib/firefox/run-mozilla.sh  (you can install pastebinit)
[03:38] <_VIM_> MagicDuck: bad idea
[03:38] <dieselsmoke> java: use the -p flag
[03:39] <kitche> MagicDuck: have to install the driver by hand use envy-ng if you must
[03:39] <MagicDuck> envy-ng does not have it
[03:40] <kitche> MagicDuck: then go to the nvidia site download the driver and compile with the kernel header sources
[03:40] <java> nightrid3r no i didnt
[03:40] <ecret> hmw : http://pastebin.com/m7e4d09c1
[03:41] <MagicDuck> I just thought there was an easier way using the binaries from jaunty
[03:41] <nightrid3r> java create the user like storbeck said
[03:41] <kitche> MagicDuck: different kernel versions
[03:41] <casinowarren> what sudo text do i use to access my root permissions in kubuntu?
[03:41] <storbeck> casinowarren: sudo -i
[03:42] <casinowarren> thanks
[03:42] <Brando753> anyone know why i cant get my mic on my hp laptop to work with ubuntu ;(
[03:42] <storbeck> Brando753: Maybe it's not plugged in
[03:42] <Brando753> its built in the laptop
[03:42] <casinowarren> and that allows me to access the root folder and make changes to my shared files, like gimp and fonts
[03:42] <Brando753> and works fine with windows
[03:42] <storbeck> Maybe you have the wrong drivers
[03:43] <Brando753> maby, were would a get a driver for my kaptops mike
[03:43] <maxagaz> should "aptitude full-upgrade" replace "aptitude upgrade" and "aptitude dist-upgrade" ?
[03:43] <storbeck> Brando753: If you continue asking generic questions, I'm not going to be able to help you
[03:43] <java> nightrid3r java@rewati-laptop:~$  mysql -u java -p
[03:43] <java> Enter password:

[03:43] <dieselsmoke> Brando753: right click volume, preferences, options, choose mic input, may work.
[03:44] <storbeck> Brando753: What kind of driver is it? Have you configured it? What distro are you on? etc etc
[03:44] <java> nightrid3r i didnt made any user
[03:44] <storbeck> Err, version* I'd hope you're on ubuntu :P
[03:44] <niku> maxagaz, there's a do-release-upgrade that's the newish way to do it. iirc
[03:45] <java> storbeck yeah its ubuntu
[03:45] <gaintsura> how do I mark a package for install/delete/update/upgrade in aptitude textmode?
[03:45] <Brando753> alright, i have a pavilion entertainment dv5 pc, i am running ubuntu 8.10. i have not manually installed any drivers. this mike is intergrated as part of a camera built into the laptop, the camera works but the mike dosent :P
[03:45] <storbeck> java: That is not really an ubuntu specific question. You might want to try #mysql
[03:45] <nightrid3r> java lemme check
[03:45] <maxagaz> !do-release-upgrade
[03:45] <java> nightrid3r ok thanks
[03:45] <kitche> java: you do not have a mysql user named java

[03:51] <RPS> gaintsura, hmw  well I followed a link that I was given https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox#USB and I knocked out some of the stuff it asked me to do, but I have a question about some other parts of it. I'll work it up and post it in a minute.
[03:51] <storbeck> mezquitale: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EmbeddedUbuntu
[03:51] <gaintsura> ok, RPS what are you trying to accomplish first
[03:51] <asdasdqwerwer> ......
[03:52] <drmamamaannana> ??
[03:52] <casinowarren> still can't access my root folder to import new fonts and scripts
[03:52] <RPS> make the USB work when I run XP in vb
[03:52] <RPS> I want to know if I need to finish with the part that follows ...In order to give users in the vboxusers group write permissions to the devices in /proc/bus/usb, you'll need to edit some rules in /etc/udev/rules.d.
[03:52] <coreyman> casinowarren
[03:52] <Brando753> any help
[03:52] <coreyman> hey
[03:52] <gaintsura> oh
[03:52] <RPS> vboxusers group ...what are they talking about? I'm new to virtual machines
[03:52] <casinowarren> what's up coreyman?
[03:52] <coreyman> sudo ~/.fonts
[03:53] <gaintsura> RPS: that was pretty easy for me.. I didn't have any isses
[03:53] <casinowarren> ok
[03:53] <mezquitale> storbeck, that's nice, now can i just get a phone model or name that i can buy, i dont have to spend all my time reading all that stuff, all i want is a phone that will work on ubuntu. PERIOD.
[03:53] <gaintsura> RPS make a new group called vboxusers
[03:53] <RPS> gaintsura, I'm all new to virtual machines
[03:53] <gaintsura> RPS: then assign that group read/write/exec access to the folder where your vb location is
[03:53] <sophia> Mesa DRI Intel(R) 965GM 20061102 x86/MMX/SSE2    is that i have software rendering?
[03:53] <RPS> open vb I assume?
[03:53] <gaintsura> no
[03:53] <casinowarren> i type that into a konsole right?
[03:53] <Brando753> alright, i have a pavilion entertainment dv5 pc, i am running ubuntu 8.10. i have not manually installed any drivers. this mike is intergrated as part of a camera built into the laptop, the camera works but the mike dosent :P anyone know what to do?
[03:54] <sophia> anyone can help me?  if opengl renderer string is:  Mesa DRI Intel(R) 965GM 20061102 x86/MMX/SSE2    is that i have software rendering?
[03:54] <RPS> did you visit the link I posted?
[03:54] <storbeck> mezquitale: If you would have actually read it, you would have seen this link http://www.muru.com/linux/omap/devices/
[03:54] <gaintsura> RPS: yes
[03:54] <RPS> it makes more sense in the correct context
[03:54] <Absolute0> Does synaptics use aptitude or apt-get?
[03:55] <gaintsura> RPS: indeed, so the vboxusers group is a group of users who will have access to the virtualboxes
[03:55] <crdlb> Absolute0: it uses libapt
[03:55] <Absolute0> oh
[03:55] <mezquitale> storbeck, sorry, i didnt have the patience for that, my phone just died today, i could never get it to work with ubuntu anyway, this time i am getting a phone that works with ubuntu so i never have to boot up to redmond ever again
[03:55] <gaintsura> RPS: you can either make that group its own group or use an existing group as specified by cat /etc/group from the terminal
[03:55] <Absolute0> crdlb: I've been told not to mix the two together
[03:55] <crdlb> Absolute0: which two?
[03:56] <Absolute0> So I am curious what to use in the console to undo what synaptics did
[03:56] <Absolute0> crdlb:  apt-get and aptitude
[03:56] <RPS> gaintsura, I'm lost bud
[03:56] <storbeck> All three use libapt, apt-get, aptitude, synaptic
[03:56] <crdlb> I would guess synaptic is closer to apt-get in behavior
[03:57] <crdlb> but that's just a guess

[04:10] <pieces> My bar at the top of my screen that lets me get to all of my programs disappeared... can someone help me?
[04:11] <dieselsmoke> Comrade-Sergei: open system/admin/software sources, check all repo's and choose a fast mirror. then update and upgrade
[04:11] <narothepharoh> tlchack: ive tried that and it doesnt read as an mp3 cd
[04:11] <Comrade-Sergei> dieselsmoke, no GUI
[04:11] <storbeck> Comrade-Sergei: try: sudo apt-get install drac
[04:11] <tlchack5> narothepharoh - what are u trying to play it on?

[04:12] <Comrade-Sergei> storbeck, nope
[04:12] <storbeck> Comrade-Sergei: pastebin what you typed and the output
[04:13] <tlchack5> narothepharoh - i too have a stereo that plays mp3, wma, etc. and if you burn it as a data cd and ur stereo truely is mp3 compatible it should work. i think you are in the wrong channel btw
[04:13] <storbeck> Comrade-Sergei: Also try: sudo apt-get update
[04:13] <Comrade-Sergei> storbeck, http://pastebin.ca/1352449
[04:14] <Comrade-Sergei> storbeck, no luck there either
[04:14] <narothepharoh> tlchack5: why would i be on the wrong channel i use ubuntu and i have a question
[04:14] <storbeck> Comrade-Sergei: You can't run an update?
[04:14] <Comrade-Sergei> storbeck, anything thats apt-get
[04:14] <storbeck> Comrade-Sergei: You said this is a new install, right?
[04:15] <tlchack5> narothepharoh - your question is in regard to stereo equipment and audio and we are in an OS troubleshooting forum
[04:15] <dieselsmoke> Comrade-Sergei: create a new file, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid#Manually_add_repositories
[04:15] <Comrade-Sergei> storbeck, yes

[04:16] <dieselsmoke> Nick_Meister: do you have synaptic? use the fix broken packages feature, cli is available also.
[04:17] <Comrade-Sergei> storbeck, can you pastebin your sources.list?
[04:17] <Nick_Meister> dieselsmoke, hi, yes i removed them but i cannot install them
[04:17] <tlchack5> narothepharoh - didnt mean to offend, just saying you might be able to get a more straitforward and correct answer in a more topic orriented channel
[04:17] <Nick_Meister> dieselsmoke, i cant seem to be able to install them they keep erroring out
[04:18] <storbeck> Comrade-Sergei: I'm not on Ubuntu. See the link that dieselsmoke posted to you. It should help
[04:18] <dieselsmoke> Nick_Meister: can you run update and upgrade ok?
[04:18] <Nick_Meister> dieselsmoke, yes

[04:19] <armence> storbeck: How?
[04:19] <yow|5570> anyone having issues with jaunty and grub error 24?
[04:19] <Nick_Meister> dieselsmoke, one day my kde just went and removed itself for some reason when i tried to install koffice, and then it errors out every attempt i make at installing it
[04:19] <storbeck> armence: sudo vi /etc/sudoers
[04:19] <indro> armence: visudo or edit /etc/sudoers with your fav editor
[04:19] <armence> dieselsmoke: Feel free to say: "I told you so"
[04:19] <pieces> My taskbar/startbar  I don't really know what it is called, but it disappeared so I can't get to my programs anymore, can someone please tell me how to bring this back?
[04:20] <yow|5570> pieces - using gnome?
[04:20] <Comrade-Sergei> storbeck, i can update now
[04:20] <pieces> yow|5570, yeah
[04:20] <storbeck> w00t Comrade-Sergei
[04:20] <yow|5570> pieces - do you have panels at the bottom or top or not at all anymore?
[04:20] <Comrade-Sergei> storbeck, still cant apt-get irssi
[04:21] <armence> storbeck: OK, I have the file open, what lines should I modify?
[04:21] <pieces> yow|5570, none, I am lucky enough to have awn running though, and I can get to a terminal from that.
[04:21] <Brando753> anyone know why i cant get my mic on my hp laptop to work with ubuntu ;( its a pavilion dv5 entertainment pc
[04:21] <yow|5570> pieces - try Alt-F2 and type gnome-panel
[04:22] <storbeck> armence: You might want to read the man page for sudoers :)
[04:23] <pieces> yow|5570, says a panel already running...
[04:23] <tlchack5> anybody know how to install a program on a Linux platform without being connected to the internet? i need to be able to copy the install file to a flash drive then install from that. Any ideas?
[04:23] <pieces> yow|5570, says one is already running
[04:23] <storbeck> pieces: killall -9 gnome-panel; gnome-panel
[04:23] <yow|5570> pieces - can you open a terminal? if so, type killall -9 gnome-panel
[04:23] <pieces> yeah i got a terminal open
[04:23] <yow|5570> bah thanks for stealing my thunder storbeck ;)
[04:23] <sudobash> how do you open a terminal on X server from a ssh session?
[04:24] <storbeck> Hehe yow|5570
[04:24] <Unirgy> http://paste2.org/p/157928 - anyone has any idea?
[04:24] <armence> storbeck: OK, here is me admitting to complete stupidity: I had the brilliant idea of making only "root" be able to "administer" the system. I did not realize the full implications of this at the time... I find myself unable to edit sudoers...
[04:24] <pieces> yow|5570, still says a panel is already running
[04:25] <storbeck> armence: I don't follow. Root by default is the only administrator
[04:25] <Brando753> any ideas anyone?
[04:25] <yow|5570> pieces - it might be counting awn as your panel, open a terminal and try killing awn also and then type killall -9 gnome-panel
[04:25] <storbeck> You got your thunder back, yow|5570 :P
[04:25] <yow|5570> storbeck - we'll see ;)
[04:26] <pieces> yow|5570 -  still says a panel is already running
[04:26] <scrote> hi
[04:26] <scrote> google sucks, how do you set up firefox to use tor ?
[04:26] <dieselsmoke> sudobash: open a 'screen'
[04:27] <dieselsmoke> sudobash: just type screen from your ssh session
[04:27] <tlchack5> alright, imma try a dif approach... i have a windows vista laptop bridging its wifi connection to a crossover cable that i have plugged into a hub. I then have my Compaq running Ubuntu hooked up to the hub via a LAN cable but for some reason Ubuntu will not connect to the internet. what do i do?
[04:28] <yow|5570> pieces pieces - try switching to the default theme if you already arent using it
[04:28] <dieselsmoke> sudobash: ctrl+d to detach it, screen -r to re-attach
[04:28] <storbeck> tlchack5: That sounds like a mess already
[04:28] <pieces> yow|5570, human?
[04:28] <yow|5570> sure pieces
[04:28] <pieces> yow|5570, nothing
[04:28] <Wrayth> brando753: open your volume control and double click on the volume icon on the panel.Then Edit>Preferences.Then make sure you have selected Microphone,Mic boost,Capture.Once you do this you can find new capture tab in the volume control panel.Here, make sure nothing is muted(no red x on microphone icon).In options tab make sure you selected Microphone as input source.
[04:29] <tlchack5> storbeck: it is a mess lol
[04:29] <yow|5570> pieces im gonna pm you with some links
[04:29] <tlchack5> storbeck:vista's networking is shit lol
[04:29] <pieces> yow|5570, ok
[04:29] <storbeck> tlchack5: Lets try to keep the language kid friendly ;) You never know who's in here
[04:29] <tlchack5> storbeck: sorry, let it slip
[04:30] <tlchack5> strebeck: i let*
[04:30] <sudobash> i dont want to be able to write to this terminal.... screen is for interfacing with the same terminal correct? I would just like to open a terminal and leave it up....
[04:30] <sudobash> without being about to bind to it
[04:31] <storbeck> sudobash: screen will leave it up
[04:31] <storbeck> Just run it in screen, then detach and exit
[04:31] <dieselsmoke> sudobash: what storbeck said
[04:32] <tlchack5> ok, so i think this has become a vista problem... anybody know how to bridge a connection properly?
[04:33] <yow|5570> upgraded to jaunty, seemed to go fine for a few days and updates and now grub gets error 24 (using converted ext3 to ext4 which worked fine after upgrade) any ideas?
[04:33] <ploom> sudobash, have you tried putting things in background inside terminal with ctrl+z (job control) ??
[04:33] <marsh> anyone knows how to make a touchscreen POS work using ubuntu
[04:33] <ubuntu_> n
[04:34] <ploom> sudobash, actually appending ampersand to a command will run it on background just fine
[04:34] <marsh> i just installed ubuntu and it doesn't repond
[04:34] <ploom> sudobash, all that while using bash at least
[04:34] <n2diy> marsh, POS, point of sale?
[04:34] <marsh> yup POS hardware
[04:34] <storbeck> lol a POS with Ubuntu, that's new
[04:34] <ploom> marsh, you need to set up touch screen. Hopefully you at least know the hardware
[04:35] <n2diy> marsh,  ok, I thought you meant something else. :)
[04:35] <marsh> n2diy: yes i know the model
[04:35] <ploom> storbeck, not new at all - i have ran regular debian on touch screened computer just fine.
[04:35] <n2diy> marsh,  ")
[04:35] <sudobash> what i am trying to do is connect to my brothers linux via ssh and pop up a terminal on his x server to i can write to that terminal
[04:35] <marsh> i just got the ubuntu installed and since no mouse, and no touchscreen i can't do anything
[04:36] <Brando753> Wrayth: there is no edit button, the mic keeps muting itself, there is no option tab ;(
[04:36] <sophia> help!
[04:36] <n2diy> marsh, no mouse port to plug one into?
[04:37] <dieselsmoke> marsh: apt-cache search touchpad  tpconfig looks promising, but googling or keep asking might be wise
[04:37] <ploom> sudobash, you can use talk or ytalk program, but your brother has to fire up the terminal by itself
[04:37] <ploom> itself = himself
[04:37] <marsh> yes only keyboard, trying to find usb mous now
[04:37] <SchighSchagh> I am experiencing a very peculiar phenomenon when using OpenGL to help render and display movies: all the colors are shifted around the color wheel (eg, red becomes blue, but white stays white). does anyone have any idea what might be wrong? my only workaround right now is to force VLC to not use OpenGL acceleration
[04:37] <n2diy> dieselsmoke, do you play wit wvo?
[04:37] <sudobash> well i have done this before I just forgot how to do it... I know has to be a way to start a terminal up on x so that you can send a message to it...
[04:37] <n2diy> wit/with
[04:38] <marsh> dieselsmoke: thanks, doing right now.
[04:38] <ploom> marsh, touchscreen drivers are downloadable from manufacturers sites most likely
[04:38] <dieselsmoke> n2diy: wvo? never heard of it
[04:38] <marsh> ploom: yes but not on ubuntu
[04:38] <n2diy> dieselsmoke, waste vegetable oil
[04:38] <ploom> marsh, even in ubuntu. good drivers have debian packages ready for downloading there
[04:38] <marsh> does windows drivers work on ubuntu?
[04:39] <dieselsmoke> n2diy: i wouldnt put that stuff in a 50,000 engine myself
[04:39] <marsh> my model..   Obvious Glaive RT-560
[04:39] <ploom> marsh, usually there is no use from windows drivers on ubuntu (except certain parts of wireless drivers for example)
[04:39] <marsh> no where to find in my initial search
[04:39] <balrog__> how do i ssh into a computer running off of the ubuntu livecd?
[04:39] <ploom> ehm - google?
[04:39] <IdentifyTarget> I have ubuntu 8.04 LiveCD. I need to make a RAID0 using a LiveCD. Would there be any point to downloading 8.10?
[04:40] <n2diy> dieselsmoke, 50,000 what? Dollars or miles? Haven't played with it myself, yet, but I'm looking at it.
[04:40] <balrog__> IdentifyTarget: i know this is not answering your question, but in my opinion, raid0 is dangerous.
[04:40] <dieselsmoke> n2diy: $50,000 us dollar engine
[04:40] <IdentifyTarget> yea yea
[04:40] <SchighSchagh> balrog__: you probably need to install openssh (sudo apt-get install openssh) on the compy running off the live CD.
[04:41] <n2diy> dieselsmoke, Wow, think I could get half that for my VW Jetta? :)
[04:41] <IdentifyTarget> what kind of Jetta?
[04:42] <n2diy> IdentifyTarget, 86 diesel
[04:42] <balrog__> SchighSchagh: agreed, and ive already done that.  but when i try to ssh to the ip address of that comp (effectively as root), i am prompted for a password.  anybody know what the livecd username is and its password?
[04:42] <IdentifyTarget> how much do you want for it?
[04:42] <IdentifyTarget> $50k US?
[04:43] <tritium> Stay on topic, please.
[04:43] <ploom> marsh, fanless touch-screen systems in general are like lego. lsusb is result is generally more usful, when you know that the touchscreen is connected to usb. otherwise it has dedicated com serial port
[04:43] <n2diy> IdentifyTarget, 20,000
[04:43] <IdentifyTarget> you must not be in the US. Here a diesel that old would be < $5k US
[04:43] <dieselsmoke> IdentifyTarget: big trucks /end ot
[04:43] <SchighSchagh> balrog__: ah, right the password. try things such as "root" "toor" "ubuntu" "password", etc...
[04:43] <SchighSchagh> also,  maybe you can use passwd to set the password to whatever you want?
[04:43] <tlchack5> got the internet to work by skipping the hub. what is the sudo command for installing the IDLE for python?
[04:44] <egaudet> Is there any working alternative to watch move player streamed videos in Linux?
[04:44] <tlchack5> becuase im using <sudo apt-get install IDLE> and it doesnt seem to work
[04:45] <SchighSchagh> egaudet: alternative to what?
[04:45] <yva> Hi I've tried to unzip a huge file and it failed (not enough disk space) but now my disk is full and I don't know how to fix that
[04:45] <egaudet> SchighSchagh, sorry not alternative but workaround or something
[04:45] <ploom> marsh, windows driver might help when you have operated the pos under windows and then remembered to look for the touch screen connection method (usb or serial) and/or model. hope it helps.
[04:45] <yva> (the disk is so full that I cannot even open thunderbird)
[04:45] <egaudet> I would love to be able to watch some shows online and I do not have access to windows nor mac
[04:45] <dieselsmoke> tlchack5: apt-cache search idle or correct package name search python maybe
[04:46] <egaudet> I've tried wine firefox but can't get the video working
[04:46] <tlchack5> yva: this might be a long way around but you could back up your files onto a flasdrive or other medium then reinstal linux wich should re-partition your drive and erase the incomplete data
[04:46] <dieselsmoke> egaudet: i watch hulu etc w/firefox
[04:46] <SchighSchagh> I am experiencing a very peculiar phenomenon when using OpenGL to help render and display movies: all the colors are shifted around the color wheel (eg, red becomes blue, but white stays white). does anyone have any idea what might be wrong? my only workaround right now is to force VLC to not use OpenGL acceleration
[04:46] <tlchack5> dieselsmoke: thank you, will try
[04:46] <computer_> This is a great place to go: www.ubuntuguide.org
[04:46] <egaudet> dieselsmoke, cwtv?
[04:47] <dieselsmoke> egaudet: never tried cwtv, one sec
[04:47] <yva> tlchack5: it should have another way to do, I really do not want to reinstall linux now
[04:47] <marsh> ploom: where do you think can i find debian drivers for touchscreen?
[04:47] <computer_> This is a great place to go: www.ubuntuguide.org
[04:48] <dieselsmoke> egaudet: cwtv.com works fine
[04:48] <tlchack5> yva: im sure there is another way.. but if you cant find one its a failsafe backup plan =P
[04:48] <gaintsura> could someone possibly help walk RPS along, he's in the right direction, but doesn't understand virtualbox for crap =)
[04:48] <egaudet> dieselsmoke, are you running firefox under wine?
[04:48] <dieselsmoke> egaudet: firefox/hardy/ x86_64
[04:48] <yva> in fact if I got to / and try to see the size of all my dir I've got 7Gig while the disk is 14Gig and say it's full with df
[04:49] <dieselsmoke> egaudet: no wine
[04:49] <ploom> marsh, look for touch screen manufacturer. usually you will find drivers from their site. Otherwise you could contac the provider of the POS itself too
[04:49] <yva> how is it possible that I do not see them?
[04:49] <computer_> rps, ok
[04:49] <sudobash> any idea on open tty on Xserver?
[04:49] <egaudet> dieselsmoke, that doesn't make sense their movie player is only for windows/mac
[04:49] <computer_> RPS, ?
[04:49] <SchighSchagh> I am experiencing a very peculiar phenomenon when using OpenGL to help render and display movies: all the colors are shifted around the color wheel (eg, red becomes blue, but white stays white). does anyone have any idea what might be wrong? my only workaround right now is to force VLC to not use OpenGL acceleration
[04:49] <RPS> I'm here
[04:49] <tlchack5> dieselsmoke: it doesnt respond to <sudo apt-cache search IDLE> it acts like i didnt type anything
[04:49] <computer_> VirtualBox help go here: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid#VirtualBox
[04:50] <dieselsmoke> egaudet: i'm watching it, want a screenshot?
[04:50] <n2diy>  subobash, what do you mean by open?
[04:50] <egaudet> dieselsmoke, you are watching an episode?
[04:50] <marsh> ploom: they say they don't support linux they create for custom with a charge, i keep finding other solutions
[04:50] <dieselsmoke> tlchack5: try lowercase
[04:50] <egaudet> or the ads/previews
[04:50] <egaudet> http://cwtv.com/cw-video/reaper/full/?play=445-3787
[04:50] <tlchack5> dieselsmoke: nope, same thing
[04:51] <dongmaulachong20> nh
[04:51] <dongmaulachong20> nnnhs
[04:51] <n2diy> marsh, call tech support, there maybe some linux dudes there, that will help out?
[04:51] <MTecknology> what package is gnome keyring manager in?
[04:51] <dieselsmoke> egaudet: nope, guess it want ms windows for episodes
[04:52] <ploom> marsh, you just have to ask nice enough. in Taiwan for example they do not want to tell you the parts of their "lego" either, because once known anyone could make the same configuration on his/her own
[04:52] <miyako> hello. I found a bug where trying to generate a thumbnail for an SVG causes nautilus to crash (hardy, 32bit) and I was wondering if someone could tell me where I should report the bug, the gnome project, libsvg, and ubuntu bug reports all seem like good possible candidates
[04:52] <n2diy> ! bug | miyako
[04:53] <Tiron> Here's a great one...never used any sort of Linux before, installed Ubuntu Ibex 8.10 yesterday as much as anything just to play around with it...worked for three hours or so.  Right up until I made the apparently horrible mistake of trying to install the recommended 177 drivers for my GeForce 6800GTs... been getting nothing but command prompt on boot since.  As I don't know the commands yet, I'm reduced to rebooting, looking up a few to try, t
[04:53] <dieselsmoke> tlchack5:  apt-cache search python |grep idle
[04:53] <miyako> thanks n2diy
[04:53] <egaudet> Has anyone got Full episodes to stream on fox or cwtv?  Stupid move networks, can't believe it's been over a year with no linux support
[04:53] <yva> nobody have an idea?
[04:53] <n2diy> miyako, thank you, for the bug report.
[04:54] <indro> Tiron: hold on
[04:54] <tlchack5> nope
[04:54] <indro> Tiron: nevermind
[04:54] <MK13> i am having trouble with program installations, anytime I try to install anything it causes an error that says the package (.deb) is not accessible; any help you guess can give?
[04:55] <tlchack5> dieselsmoke: nope.. and if i just do <apt-cache search python> i get an insanely long list and none of wich are they IDLE
[04:55] <MTecknology> I can't get vpn working......
[04:55] <meebo> hi all
[04:55] <RPS> I'm 600 miles away from home for the winter and I want to install XP in virtual box ...which version do guys think I should DL? there are plenty of options to choose from and I figure there may be a better choice. I can't remember what version I already have installed on the other partition (if that makes any difference) since I have never used it.
[04:55] <coreyman> !version
[04:55] <ploom> marsh, the alternative for asking is just to "reverse engineer" the pos. So that you open it and see from inside (as the last resort). Usually windows drivers are enough to reveal driver manufacturer, ang there you can find linux versions too (at least in  binary form, compiled against a certain version of kernel)
[04:56] <rdw200169> RPS, what version of VirtualBox or what version of windows?
[04:56] <RPS> windows
[04:56] <meebo> how do i automatically put a n/w up on startup..?
[04:56] <meebo> ** n/w interface
[04:56] <dieselsmoke> tlchack5: i get three idle hits, check your repo's
[04:56] <rdw200169> RPS, well, I know that SP2 works alright, i dunno about sp3, but i don't see why it, too, wouldn't work
[04:57] <marsh> ploom: i get you man, that gave me an idea, thanks a lot
[04:57] <Tiron> darn.  I'm lost as heck at this point, 'cause I'm frankly not sure what the problem even is...or how to find out, for that matter... I do know fiddling with the xorg.conf doesn't seem to affect it...
[04:57] <IdentifyTarget> when I'm using command line, and I pipe   user% foobar | pipetext.txt        does that capture stderr also?
[04:57] <tlchack5> dieselsmoke: sorry im a noob to linux... how do i check repos?
[04:57] <RPS> I bought this laptop to run ubuntu only and it came with XP on it and I can;t remember if it is home or pro, but that should make a difference then?
[04:57] <marsh> ploom: i'll see if can still find a driver and then try you're idea which for sure will work
[04:57] <Titan8990> IdentifyTarget, no
[04:58] <marsh> hopefully
[04:58] <dieselsmoke> tlchack5: admin menu, software sources
[04:58] <RPS> I'll get it started ....the DL that is
[04:58] <sophia> what is the difference between "BENCHMARKs and BENCHMARK%"?
[04:58] <Titan8990> IdentifyTarget, have to do something like 2&>1 for stderr
[04:58] <IdentifyTarget> Titan8990: would this capture stderr? foobr 2>&1 | text.txt
[04:58] <sophia> anyone knows?
[04:58] <Titan8990> IdentifyTarget, that looks right but I don't recall the exact syntax
[04:59] <IdentifyTarget> ty
[04:59] <Tiron> I'd just up and reinstall except I'm learning tons trying to fix the thing, heh...
[04:59] <Titan8990> IdentifyTarget, I actually had to do that a few days ago to pipe my stderr from a python script through less too.....
[04:59] <tlchack5> dieselsmoke: ok a window popped up. what am i looking for here?
[04:59] <n2diy> sophia, it is obvious, what is the real question?
[04:59] <sudobash> so when screen is talking about session what is that exactly?
[04:59] <sudobash> in man screen and screen --?
[05:00] <coreyman> can i install kde3 on ubuntu intrepid?
[05:00] <Nytrix> !sessions
[05:00] <armence> Hello everyone. I did something silly. I just made the stupid mistake of disallowing myself access to system configuration. How do I solve that. I can use su, but I'm not sure what commands I need to enter to solve that problem...
[05:00] <Nytrix> !session
[05:00] <yva> how to see the size taken by each directory?
[05:00] <dieselsmoke> tlchack5: check all the repos, i also added medibuntu manually. then update upgrade
[05:00] <Brando753> my mic is still not working ;(
[05:01] <sudobash> ?
[05:01] <dieselsmoke> Brando753: got a volume icon?
[05:01] <Brando753> i do :P
[05:01] <tlchack5> dieselsmoke:im sorry... i have no idea where repos are in this menue =( i feel really stupid right now
[05:01] <Brando753> and i double ckicked it :P
[05:01] <Titan8990> armence, you should never be able to use su in ubuntu....
[05:01] <dieselsmoke> Brando753: right click it, open controls, look in 'options' insure input is 'mic'
[05:01] <ploom> marsh, I am speaking from my own experience with devices from somewhere from Taiwan
[05:01] <dbbolton> how many primary partitions can i put on an sda device ?
[05:02] <Titan8990> armence, try: sudo adduser USER admin
[05:02] <n2diy> dbbolton, two
[05:02] <dieselsmoke> dbbolton: 4 i believe
[05:02] <Brando753> there is only prefrences no option :D
[05:02] <dbbolton> n2diy, i have 4 right now...
[05:02] <dieselsmoke> Brando753: right click it, open volume 'control', look in 'options' insure input is 'mic'
[05:02] <Tiron> if I recall right 4 partitions period is the limit of the MBR...
[05:03] <armence> Titan8990: "The user 'USER' does not exist"
[05:03] <dbbolton> dieselsmoke can you put more if some are inside a logical partition?
[05:03] <n2diy> dbbolton, on two IDE buses?
[05:03] <Brando753> there is no "options"
[05:03] <tlchack5> dieselsmoke: i have 5 tabs {ubuntu software, third-party software, updates, authentication, statistics} and i cant find where repos is... and what are repos?
[05:03] <Titan8990> armence, user is a variable, thats why I made it all caps
[05:03] <ploom> dbbolton, four? One of them can be extended partition
[05:03] <dieselsmoke> dbbolton: yes i believe so, logical or extended
[05:03] <sophia> n2diy: one is time taken and another one is Cpu usage..?
[05:03] <Titan8990> armence, replace USER with your username
[05:03] <Tiron> you could create an extended partition and put logicals inside that...but then you can only have three primaries...
[05:03] <yva> I try du -hs but it only give me the complete size while I want to have it by directory
[05:04] <yva> how to do that?
[05:04] <dieselsmoke> tlchack5: repo's = repositories
[05:04] <corinth> Anyone know how to switch the default GNOME file manager from nautilus to pcman?
[05:04] <sudobash> is there no way to open a terminal on X?
[05:04] <armence> Titan8990: Do I have to restart or at least log out and then back in?
[05:04] <tlchack5> dieselsmoke: ohh, so its third-party software? i checked the two websites that were listed and now its updating package information
[05:04] <sudobash> with ssh
[05:05] <n2diy> Sophia, ok, I don't know the answer, but now your question is more specific, and hopefully someone knows the ansewer?
[05:05] <Titan8990> yva, try: ls -alR / | less
[05:05] <Titan8990> armence, yes, you have to relog
[05:05] <armence> thanks
[05:05] <Brando753> guys i dont have an "options" in my volume control ;(
[05:05] <armence> Though honestly, given how silly that originally was of me, perhaps it was better that I could not touch system configuration
[05:05] <Nytrix> !mbr
[05:06] <dieselsmoke> tlchack5: in synaptic, settings, there are repo's also, but probably the same thing, but you can choose a mirror also, i prefer mit.edu
[05:06] <opera> ！block device
[05:06] <Tiron> I lost my GUI after installing the stupid nvidia drivers >P
[05:07] <yva> Titan8990: It give me all dir of the computer while I want to see just the directory of /
[05:07] <tlchack5> dieselsmoke: ok, thank you very much sir =] it all seems to be working now
[05:07] <n8tuserf> Tiron if you just installed, may as well re-install, thats only 30 mins or less eh?
[05:07] <opera> what is block device?
[05:07] <Titan8990> yva, if you want to see how much space / takes up:  df -h
[05:07] <dieselsmoke> tlchack5: cool
[05:08] <Tiron> yeah, but it's fun and educational trying to fix it ;)
[05:08] <yva> Titan8990: Yes but I want to see it by dir (only the firsts dir)
[05:08] <Titan8990> yva, looks at the one that is displayed as being mounted at /
[05:08] <opera> !block device
[05:08] <n8tuserf> opera devices that can be read in blocks as oppose to one char at a time
[05:08] <cryptic> can i rsync remoteley
[05:08] <jA_cOp> Where can I find a header file defining the ELF File Format headers?
[05:08] <Titan8990> yva, I don't understand....
[05:08] <n8tuserf> !patience | opera
[05:08] <Titan8990> yva, you want to see how much space is used by the directory / correct?
[05:08] <dieselsmoke> Tiron: run nvidia-settings or something like that before you dump the nvidia attempt.
[05:09] <n2diy> cryptic, yes, look at sbackup.
[05:09] <Tiron> ...think I saw something about an nvidia-xconfig or somesuch poking around...I haven't figured out how to get into it yet
[05:10] <cryptic> n2diy, the server im connecting to is ftp
[05:10] <Brando753> guys i dont have an "options" in my volume control ;( what should i do to use my mic???
[05:11] <n2diy> cryptic, well, we can't do much about that, unless you have access to it?
[05:11] <cryptic> i co
[05:11] <cryptic> i do*
[05:11] <n2diy> cryptic, via what?
[05:11] <dieselsmoke> opera: block devices are a unix term to wit the system moves data from devices in 'blocks'
[05:11] <Tiron> alright I'ma reboot over and try to get into that again...
[05:11] <SineDeviance> hey guys where can i get a CC / open source ubuntu logo?

[05:40] <dieselsmoke> Brando753: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/12/05/fixing-the-errant-microphone/   alsamixer dude
[05:40] <mib_i7xo71fc> huh?
[05:40] <dieselsmoke> mib_i7xo71fc: yes it is
[05:40] <mib_i7xo71fc> ok, any hints?
[05:41] <mib_i7xo71fc> I know how to run it once its installed, but how do i install? sudo apt-get install ubuntu?
[05:41] <jtaji> mib_i7xo71fc: ubuntu-desktop
[05:42] <mib_i7xo71fc> oh kk
[05:42] <mib_i7xo71fc> thanks
[05:42] <dieselsmoke> mib_i7xo71fc: install kubuntu-desktop
[05:42] <mib_i7xo71fc> nah i've got kde
[05:42] <mib_i7xo71fc> i need gnome
[05:42] <mib_i7xo71fc> or xfce
[05:42] <dieselsmoke> mib_i7xo71fc: then choose from options at the login screen in options
[05:42] <aqUariUZZZZZZ_Gi> hai......
[05:42] <mib_i7xo71fc> kk
[05:42] <mib_i7xo71fc> 1 sec
[05:42] <dieselsmoke> mib_i7xo71fc: install them all, i did
[05:42] <David_E> Accessed a website that needs to run a java program to do file uploads.  Firefox hangs when it tries to run the app.  Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this issue?  I'm trying to upload some files to a ning social network I created.
[05:43] <LogicFan> David_E, do you have the java runtime installed?
[05:43] <David_E> i think so
[05:44] <LogicFan> and the firefox plugin?
[05:44] <palomer> hello
[05:44] <dieselsmoke> mib_i7xo71fc: gnome-desktop-environment
[05:44] <David_E> how do i check for the firefox plugin?
[05:45] <LogicFan> David_E, you can be sure by installing it: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-jre
[05:45] <LogicFan> that will install both for you
[05:45] <palomer> I have a frame in an event box in a  scroll_window, and I change the border colour of the frame, should this trigger an expose event in the event_box?
[05:45] <opera> why i can't use the command "chmod -aw" ?
[05:45] <dieselsmoke> David_E: in addons in FF
[05:45] <David_E> okay I'll do that now
[05:45] <palomer> sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't
[05:45] <jtaji> opera: that would be chmod a-w
[05:45] <swiper_> #mp3
[05:46] <opera> jtaji, thank you .
[05:46] <b1n42y> David_E, about:plugins
[05:46] <dieselsmoke> opera: octal format is better
[05:46] <David_E> my machine says the latest java is installed
[05:46] <b1n42y> David_E, in address bar
[05:46] <Until_It_Sleeps> How do I access Telnet from the Terminal?
[05:47] <dieselsmoke> Until_It_Sleeps: telnet hostname
[05:47] <jtaji> dieselsmoke: there are some complex changes you can make using that notation which octal does not help with
[05:47] <Until_It_Sleeps> Ah, so the same as Microsoft's command prompt?
[05:47] <dieselsmoke> jtaji: duley noted, thanks!
[05:47] <dieselsmoke> Until_It_Sleeps: yup
[05:47] <David_E> it says i have java plugin 1.6.0_10 installed
[05:48] <dieselsmoke> jtaji: duly noted
[05:48] <Until_It_Sleeps> :D Thanks!
[05:48] <dieselsmoke> sp
[05:48] <atrandom> hey guys
[05:48] <palomer> if the event box is wider than the scroll_window, then expose isn't called
[05:48] <atrandom> im new to ubuntu
[05:48] <phannguyenhung> I'm having problem with automount, I've select unmount button from dropdown of the pendrive when it's running. After I plug it back, ubuntu doesn't auto mount like before, what i've to do ? Please answer me use PM as I'm going out now. thanks

[05:48] <phannguyenhung> I'm having problem with automount, I've select unmount button from dropdown of the pendrive when it's running. After I plug it back, ubuntu doesn't auto mount like before, what i've to do ?
[05:48] <phannguyenhung> mount
[05:48] <jtaji> mib_i7xo71fc: xubuntu-desktop

[05:49] <dieselsmoke> mib_i7xo71fc: there you go
[05:49] <halycon> Hey everyone! For some reason whenever I start Ubuntu, my bluetooth devices are never detected and I always have to type sudo hciconfig hci0 reset before it starts detecting bluetooth stuff? Does anyone know what would cause this and how to fix it?
[05:49] <jtaji> mib_i7xo71fc: just typing the name, or actually the first few letters then pressing tab to auto-complete
[05:49] <mib_i7xo71fc> jtaji: oh you put the name then the dot-dot thingy thanks
[05:50] <mib_i7xo71fc> see yas
[05:50] <dieselsmoke> halycon: bluetooth deamon isn't running perhaps?
[05:51] <halycon> dieselsmoke, The bluetooth applet is running in the tray
[05:52] <dieselsmoke> halycon: system/sessions/bluetooth manager
[05:52] <dieselsmoke> halycon: that might be missing
[05:53] <David_E> i checked the plugin for firefox and I'm still having issues.  Any suggestions?
[05:54] <dieselsmoke> halycon: running gnome? try bluez-utils bluez-gnome packages
[05:55] <halycon> dieselsmoke, it is still set to run on startup
[05:55] <q0_0p> !smb
[05:56] <q0_0p> !samba

[06:01] <Flannel> k1: Cinelerra certainly isn't.  I believe Kino is, but I don't know much about avidemux
[06:01] <wiggles> or is the methods for 8.4 the same for 8.10 ?
[06:01] <riddler> yeh its looking fo cman and it takes a while to boot up
[06:02] <k1> Flannel, thanks , i'll give cinelerra a miss then  :-)
[06:02] <st_thomas> riddler: I don't understand about cman? can u tell what it for?
[06:02] <dieselsmoke> wiggles: 8.10 is intrepid
[06:02] <wiggles> oh

[06:02] <DStrevinas> Hello, I have a cgi script leading to a problem and the solution I was asked to try is to set environmental variable MALLOC_CHECK_="2". How this can be done?

[06:07] <Sertse> quick q. how do I force installation of something?
[06:08] <opera> -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 29104 Nov 6 19:16 /usr/bin/passwd---what is the permission of the  octal format
[06:08] <nanotube> Sertse: depends on what you are using to install... apt-get ?
[06:08] <TruthTaco> i need a program that can extract an incomplete zip file
[06:09] <Elone> hihi
[06:10] <opera> who can tell me
[06:11] <nanotube> opera: 1755, iirc
[06:11] <st_thomas> riddler: pidgin is the best
[06:11] <dieselsmoke> opera: chmod 4755
[06:12] <Sertse> I'm probably trying to break my system. heh. Taking an app from jaunty, the app's own page page says the lib found in intrepid should be enough. But the package in jaunty requires the lib from jaunty as deps...
[06:12] <hipzen> st_thomas: I think that depends on what you want :)
[06:12] <opera> hang
[06:12] <dieselsmoke> nanotube: 1 is sticky bit
[06:12] <nanotube> DStrevinas: in shell type "export MALLOC_CHECK=2". this will last for the duration of that shell.
[06:12] <nanotube> dieselsmoke: ah heh, well, hence the "iirc" - apparently not "c" :)
[06:13] <st_thomas> hipzen: in KDE is kopete the best
[06:13] <DStrevinas> nanotube: The script is run as cgi. Called though the web browser. Can I manually set it somewhere to be included after a restart or something?
[06:13] <opera> why not three ?
[06:13] <nanotube> DStrevinas: set it from within the script, then.
[06:14] <nanotube> DStrevinas: (it's a shell script, right?)
[06:14] <hipzen> st_thomas: personally I prefer aMSN as it has webcam support :) And I use the GNOME desktop
[06:14] <DStrevinas> nanotube: hmm ok nice idea :) . I am a fool.
[06:14] <nanotube> DStrevinas: :)
[06:14] <riddler> tyhanks st. thomas
[06:15] <tengulre> how to known which apps usnig swaps when that running?
[06:15] <nanotube> opera: "man chmod"
[06:15] <opera> o
[06:16] <dieselsmoke> DStrevinas: put that in your ~/.bashrc
[06:16] <knx_> bonjour
[06:17] <knx_> oups
[06:17] <DStrevinas> dieselsmoke: This is cleaner i think. I will try both. Thanx all
[06:17] <riddler> does anyone here kno how to tweak ubuntu os

[06:20] <DStrevinas> no
[06:20] <insaneNproud> hello*
[06:20] <quibbler> !ot | riddler
[06:20] <nanotube> riddler: do you have any specific thing you want to accomplish?
[06:21] <riddler> nanotube: idk were to start im new to ubuntu i just want to learn how to use terminal
[06:22] <riddler> i want to be ble to tweak ubuntu to my personal taste
[06:22] <nanotube> riddler: ah, well, i suggest trying "linuxcommand.org", it's a good tutorial on using the commandline
[06:22] <Dryice> what do you mean tweak it? aesthetically?
[06:25] <riddler> tyhank u nano tube
[06:26] <nanotube> riddler: enjoy :)
[06:26] <jimmygoon_> Change username
[06:26] <jimmygoon_> er, this is not google, sorry.
[06:26] <nanotube> jimmygoon_: heh
[06:26] <nanotube> !change username
[06:26] <ectospasm> hmmm... Vuze keeps asking to update.  I download the update, restart Vuze.  And this process repeats ad nauseum...
[06:27] <AnRkey> what command is used to bring up the run application box that I get when I push alt+f2?
[06:27] <bohemian_> on the terminal after i change to root access using "su" command, how can i change directory?
[06:27] <bohemian_> say /home/user/desktop
[06:27] <bohemian_> what command to use?
[06:27] <Dryice> cd Desktop
[06:27] <nanotube> bohemian_: cd
[06:27] <ectospasm> bohemian_: cd (change directory)
[06:27] <Dryice> if youre at ~$
[06:27] <AnRkey> cd /home/user/Desktop
[06:27] <Dryice> cd takes you back to your user
[06:27] <Dryice> cd alone rather
[06:27] <AnRkey> case sensitive, the D in desktop is a cap
[06:28] <quibbler> !nick | jimmygoon_
[06:28] <bohemian_> i get cd /home/user/Desktop
[06:28] <jimmygoon> quibbler: yeah sorry
[06:28] <ectospasm> bohemian_: cd ~user/Desktop would also work
[06:29] <quibbler> jimmygoon: nothing to be sorry about
[06:29] <jimmygoon> I've got a bunch of stuff like postfix and mysql and ssh keys setup, is changing my username going to mess a lot of things up?
[06:29] <AnRkey> no ectospasm: it's cd ~/Destkop bud
[06:29] <nanotube> AnRkey: good question - i'd like to know that too :)
[06:29] <bohemian_> ectospasm: still No Such directory
[06:29] <AnRkey> nanotube, it's driving me nuts
[06:29] <ectospasm> bohemian_: does "user" exist?
[06:29] <Dryice> make sure you're back to ~$
[06:29] <AnRkey> nanotube, i am building a custom installer for a client and they want a friggen start run thingy
[06:29] <ectospasm> AnRkey: try again, he's root, dolt.
[06:29] <Dryice> and not in another directory
[06:30] <ectospasm> cd ~/ goes to the current user's home directory
[06:30] <ectospasm> which would be /root/, not /home/user/
[06:30] <bohemian_> ectospasm: ok i misspelled the user.. :D thanks
[06:30] <Flannel> ectospasm: Please remember where you are and keep the code of conduct in mind.  Thanks.
[06:30]  * AnRkey slaps himself for being a twit
[06:30] <milad> I have problems with firefox
[06:30] <nanotube> AnRkey: mighty curious.... :)
[06:31] <AnRkey> nanotube, google isn't finding much
[06:31] <nanotube> yea, i tried too, after you asked :)
[06:31] <nanotube> AnRkey:
[06:31] <AnRkey> nanotube, gonna ask some devs, brb
[06:31] <nanotube> AnRkey: cool, lemme know what you find!
[06:32] <AnRkey> nanotube, will do
[06:33] <bohemian_> anyone able to install touchkit driver here? driver used for POS touchscreen
[06:33] <jimmygoon> is it even possible to change my username?
[06:33] <Comrade-Sergei> whenever I try to SSH into my ubuntu box i get "Connection closed by <my IP address)"
[06:33] <Flannel> jimmygoon: Of course
[06:34] <jimmygoon> Flannel, any tips? Googling keeps leading to articles saying its not possible
[06:34] <nanotube> jimmygoon: "man usermod"
[06:34] <nanotube> jimmygoon: usermod --login <newlogin>
[06:34] <ectospasm> Comrade-Sergei: have you examined the output of "ssh -vvv -l <user> <IP address>"
[06:34] <ectospasm> ?
[06:35] <Flannel> jimmygoon: Do you care if your home folder is under the old username?  If not, it's trivial.  If so, it requires you to rename that folder (either from another user, or recovery console)
[06:35] <nanotube> jimmygoon: but have to change homedir name manually after that....
[06:35] <ectospasm> so no one has any experience with Vuze?
[06:35] <Comrade-Sergei> ectospasm, what should it be?
[06:35] <ximal> anyone here know why I wouldn't be given priveleges under phpmyadmin ? i'm trying to change my admin password yet it is telling me No Privileges to create alter or delete user info
[06:35] <jimmygoon> Flannel, nanotube, I've got root so I can do that
[06:35] <Flannel> jimmygoon: that'd be usermod -l (or --login)
[06:35] <ectospasm> Comrade-Sergei: that verbose output should give you more information as to why it's closing the connection.
[06:36] <nanotube> Flannel: too late :)
[06:36] <ximal> also I am not loading an MCRYPT extension which I am clueless about
[06:36] <jimmygoon> it just tells me that the new username doesn't exist?
[06:36] <jimmygoon> do I have to create that user first?
[06:36] <Flannel> jimmygoon: and then you move the homedir (as far as the user stuff is concerned) with -d (with -m)
[06:36] <Flannel> jimmygoon: What syntax are you using?
[06:37] <jimmygoon> logged in with user: "mickens"
[06:37] <jimmygoon> usermod -l cole
[06:37] <Comrade-Sergei> ectospasm, its strange though, I can SSH in locally but not with my DDNS
[06:37] <balrog__> how do i archive a folder across multiple DVDs?
[06:37] <Comrade-Sergei> ectospasm, and im 99% sure i did the port forwarding right
[06:37] <ectospasm> Comrade-Sergei: what interface is sshd listening on?
[06:38] <Comrade-Sergei> ectospasm, eth1
[06:38] <ectospasm> it's not limiting connections to your LAN, is it?
[06:38] <ectospasm> meaning it closes the connection for stuff outside the LAN.
[06:38] <Dryice> bah why can't I access my rkhunter.log ?
[06:38] <Comrade-Sergei> ectospasm, id assume it is, it will work on the LAN
[06:39] <jimmygoon> ~: usermod -l cole -d cole
[06:39] <jimmygoon> usermod: user cole does not exist
[06:39] <Flannel> jimmygoon: usermod -l newlogin oldlogin
[06:39] <nanotube> balrog__: tar might have an option to break it up into multiple chunks.... "man tar" for details... maybe "--multi-volume" is what you're looking for....
[06:39] <ectospasm> Comrade-Sergei: I'd examine your sshd_config, but beyond that I don't know.
[06:39] <Flannel> jimmygoon: then usermod -d /home/newlogin -m newlogin
[06:39] <omshanti-> How do I play .pls playlist files?
[06:39] <Comrade-Sergei> ectospasm, where is that id assume /etc/ssh_config right?
[06:39] <jimmygoon> Flannel, "usermod: unable to lock password file" thank you very much, btw
[06:39] <ectospasm> Comrade-Sergei: /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[06:40] <nanotube> omshanti-: audacious or xmms should be able to play those.
[06:40] <ectospasm> usually...
[06:40] <ectospasm> omshanti-: also amarok will play those files.
[06:40] <quibbler> Dryice: you can with gksudo gedit  /path/to/rkhunter.log
[06:40] <jimmygoon> Flannel, duh, reran it as root
[06:40] <Dryice> yah I got it
[06:40] <Comrade-Sergei> ectospasm, what should i be looking for in here
[06:40] <Dryice> thanks
[06:40] <ximal>  hey guys... anyone here using phpmyadmin ? i'm trying to mess with the password yet I cannot get phpmyadmin to accept my password and it will only accept the "nopassword" when using ubuntu programs such as the mysql query stuff ?   ( rephrazed for better question understanding ??? )
[06:41] <omshanti-> hehe thanks :)
[06:41] <ectospasm> Comrade-Sergei: this is where you need to consult "man sshd_config"
[06:41] <jimmygoon> Flannel, how does the second command know to affect the oldlogin home folder?
[06:41] <Flannel> jimmygoon: -m means move, so it should move.  (well, it'll likely just rename the old foldername to the new one)
[06:42] <jimmygoon> Flannel, okay, so I should re-visudo to make the username change in there as well?
[06:42] <Comrade-Sergei> ectospasm, but id be shooting blind, i havent the faintest idea of what im looking for here
[06:42] <Flannel> jimmygoon: sudo doesn't use usernames.  So, no you don't need to do that.
[06:42] <ectospasm> Comrade-Sergei: I can't help you if you're not willing to read the manual.
[06:42] <Flannel> jimmygoon: At least, not by default.  If you've made changes to sudoers, that's something you'll need to do, yes.
[06:42] <jimmygoon> Flannel, but for granting a regular user access to sudo... I thought you had to add to it
[06:42] <Comrade-Sergei> ectospasm, words of an IT man
[06:42] <Dryice> Has anyone experienced '/dev/shm/pulse-shm-2588455770' rkhunter gave me a warning on it
[06:42] <jimmygoon> Flannel, yeah its a server install that came with a root account
[06:42] <Flannel> jimmygoon: No, you add them to the admin group.
[06:43] <Comrade-Sergei> ectospasm, tr RTFM
[06:43] <SJrX> What packages do I need to install for C++ development
[06:43] <nanotube> SJrX: build-essential should do it.
[06:43] <nanotube> !build-essential
[06:44] <ximal>  hey guys... anyone here using phpmyadmin ? i'm trying to mess with the password yet I cannot get phpmyadmin to accept my password and it will only accept the "nopassword" when using ubuntu programs such as the mysql query stuff ?
[06:44] <Flannel> ectospasm: For the record, that sort of view is not welcome here.  If you don't know the answer, either look it up, or let somene else handle the issue.  RTFM (and others like it) are not welcome, period.
[06:44] <joejc> how does a website know what version of flash im using?
[06:44] <jimmygoon> joejc the plugin reports it
[06:44] <SJrX> I'm trying to execute java, and I'm getting this error: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 how can I fix it?
[06:44] <nanotube> joejc: flash tells it what version it is.
[06:44] <joejc> can i spoof what it reports?
[06:45] <illbeatu> how do i completely remove something from ubuntu?
[06:45] <illbeatu> --purge doesn't seem to work.
[06:45] <nanotube> joejc: not afaik... but you can google around and see if you find anything....
[06:45] <coreyman> !gnome
[06:45] <nanotube> illbeatu: rm
[06:45] <jimmygoon> yay my mail sends from the correct account now. thanks a bunch Flannel.
[06:45] <illbeatu> i installed some ruby package that is too old from the repository and then i sudo apt-get remove --purge it
[06:45] <illbeatu> but for some reason it still exists when i type "gem"
[06:46] <illbeatu> giving me nameErrors and what not.
[06:46] <ectospasm> hmmm, so this is the handholding channel.  I see...  Well, time for bed.  cy'all l8r...
[06:46] <bitfish> illbeatu, sudo aptitude purge rubygems
[06:47] <Flannel> !coc > ectospasm
[06:47] <nanotube> ectospasm: we all need some handholding now and then. :)
[06:47] <bitfish> illbeatu, also: sudo dpkg --purge rubygems
[06:47] <illbeatu> ok. it's gone now
[06:47] <illbeatu> thanks
[06:47] <bitfish> :)
[06:48] <joejc> is there a way i can see what info my browser is sending
[06:49] <cactusfrog> how do i burn a copy of windows xp
[06:49] <cactusfrog> ????
[06:49] <coreyman> this is an ubuntu channel cactusfrog
[06:49] <joejc> that sounds illeagal
[06:50] <cactusfrog> no
[06:50] <cactusfrog> its not
[06:50] <joejc> ok
[06:50] <coreyman> joejc to your question, what info do you want to see
[06:50] <illbeatu> ok. what does it mean when xterm is not seeing the files I put on my desktop and not letting me auto finish (use tab button to finish) the name?
[06:50] <Sa[i]nT> To back it up, it's not.
[06:50] <cactusfrog> i downloaded it of the dell website
[06:50] <Dryice> Has anyone experienced '/dev/shm/pulse-shm-2588455770' rkhunter gave me a warning on it
[06:50] <cactusfrog> well
[06:50] <cactusfrog> its kinda ubatuisk
[06:50] <cactusfrog> becuase that is what i am going to run on my old hadrdrive
[06:51] <cactusfrog> OMG DOS ATTACK!!!!!!!!
[06:51] <joejc> coreyman: im trying to get netflix to work but i need it to see moonlight as silverlight
[06:51] <cactusfrog> what?
[06:51] <cactusfrog> i use
[06:52] <cactusfrog>  vuze
[06:52] <cactusfrog> much better them netflics
[06:52] <cactusfrog> -+
[06:52] <CosmiChaos> My firefox startpage is loaded without images and scripts but ONLY when i start firefox, after reload everything is fine, any ideas
[06:52] <cactusfrog> uh
[06:52] <cactusfrog> type sudo install opera
[06:53] <cactusfrog> in terminal
[06:53] <CosmiChaos> cactusfrog: its installed but i asked for firefox
[06:53] <ANTRat> sudo apt-get install
[06:53] <CosmiChaos> is there no way to fix firefox
[06:53] <cactusfrog> close enough
[06:53] <cactusfrog> well
[06:53] <cactusfrog> ya
[06:53] <cactusfrog> but before you mess with it
[06:53] <cactusfrog> fix
[06:53] <cactusfrog> i mean get anothe webbrouser
[06:53] <jtaji> !enter | cactusfrog
[06:54] <cactusfrog> ok
[06:54] <cactusfrog> i wont
[06:54] <nanotube> cactusfrog: hah :)
[06:54] <joejc> lol
[06:54] <CosmiChaos> i love my plugins i have opera for other purposes but... i asked for firefox fix not for alternatives
[06:54] <cactusfrog>  oh try disabling all plug ins
[06:54] <cactusfrog> i love speedial
[06:55] <nanotube> CosmiChaos: if disabling all plugins doesn't work, try starting a fresh profile...
[06:55] <CosmiChaos> cactusfrog: thats a good idea, ill start with noscript and restart firefox
[06:55] <joejc> how do i see what info my browser is sending?
[06:55] <CosmiChaos> nanotube: thanks
[06:55] <CosmiChaos> brb
[06:55] <cactusfrog> i have downloaded ubatu many times
[06:55] <cactusfrog> every time i fail
[06:55] <Flannel> cactusfrog: Please stop using the enter key as punctuation.
[06:55] <cactusfrog> sry
[06:55] <cactusfrog> its a really bad habbet i am working on it
[06:56] <arooni-mobile> hey folks;  i cant get my s9 headphones to output any audio from any applicaiton on ibex..... ideas?
[06:56] <prince_j1mmys> joejc: there's a firefox plugin for that (don't remember the name). also programs like wireshark(gui), ettercap, ngrep ...
[06:56] <nanotube> joejc: try firebug
[06:56] <cactusfrog> will they ever releace crome for linux?
[06:56] <cactusfrog> release
[06:56] <nanotube> joejc: it's a plugin for firefox...
[06:57] <Flannel> cactusfrog: they will.  Also, non-support (How do I get foo to work?) questions should really be asked in #ubuntu-offtopic, not here.  Thanks.
[06:57] <ximal>  hey guys... anyone here using phpmyadmin ? i'm trying to mess with the password yet I cannot get phpmyadmin to accept my password and it will only accept the "nopassword" when using ubuntu programs such as the mysql query stuff ?
[06:57] <shams> can anyone find any information of me like computer name, if i publish a pdf file or an image that exported from my computer to the internet?
[06:57] <joejc> how does firebug do what i want?
[06:58] <nanotube> joejc: it can show you all the details of the requests that the browser sends out.
[06:58] <nanotube> shams: depends on what software you use to make pdf...
[06:59] <joejc> would it be possible to spoof what it sends?
[06:59] <nanotube> shams: and what settings you have as far as embedding info about yourself in it.
[06:59] <cactusfrog> what happens if you type killserver in terminal
[06:59] <cactusfrog> ?
[06:59] <Flannel> joejc: Probably.  This isn't really the best channel to be asking that in.
[06:59] <nanotube> joejc: don't know, try it. haven't used it myself, but i understand it is pretty powerful.
[07:00] <joejc> im determined to get netflix working
[07:00] <slytherin> anybody here with a laptop with atheros wireless card?
[07:00] <cactusfrog> really try vuze
[07:00] <joejc> at last to the point where i fail at drm
[07:00] <joejc> least*
[07:00] <crdlb> slytherin: I have three; why not ask your real question? :)
[07:00] <nanotube> joejc: might be less effort-intensive to try bittorrent instead :)
[07:01] <cactusfrog> why does ever os hate me
[07:01] <cactusfrog> ???
[07:01] <cactusfrog> ubatu firefox stops working
[07:01] <joejc> i want legal
[07:01] <cactusfrog> it is
[07:01] <cactusfrog> (just pretend your in astrea
[07:01] <joejc> even if i need to do something illegal to do it
[07:02] <nanotube> joejc: so what's teh deal with netflix? does it require a newer version of flash or something?
[07:02] <cactusfrog> ok are you paying for netfliks
[07:02] <cactusfrog> or is it your freind
[07:02] <joejc> it uses silverlight (MS flash)
[07:02] <cactusfrog>  /callvote poll
[07:02] <Flannel> cactusfrog: Please stay on topic.  And don't use the enter key as punctuation
[07:02] <nanotube> joejc: isn't there something like "moonlight" to do silverlight for linux?
[07:03] <hippie> strange network I'm on... I can connect to this irc-server but not others...
[07:03] <joejc> yes but that didnt work
[07:03] <nanotube> hippie: this is the best irc server ever - you don't need any other irc servers. :)
[07:03] <joejc> i think it says im moonlight and netflix doesnt like it
[07:04] <nanotube> joejc: ah i see... hence your desire to change headers the browser sends. well, try firebug. if anything can do it, firebug can.
[07:05] <slytherin> crdlb: I installed intrepid yesterday on a laptop and then it failed to boot (kernel panic). Turns out that modules ath_pci and ath_hal needed to be blacklisted. I am wondering why they were not blacklisted by default.
[07:06] <crdlb> slytherin: because madwifi supports some chipsets that ath5k doesn't yet, I think
[07:06] <crdlb> never heard of it causing a kernel panic though
[07:07] <joejc> whats DOM?
[07:08] <Flannel> joejc: This is really offtopic for this channel.  You might try #javascript?  maybe something on irc.mozilla.org?  I'm not really sure.
[07:08] <nanotube> joejc: document object model
[07:08] <nanotube> joejc: you could also try in #firefox
[07:08] <Dextl> So I'm trying to figure out about these public and private key things... but I'm just not getting it.  Does anyone have a few minutes to explain how they work to me?
[07:09] <nanotube> Dextl: tried googling?
[07:09] <Dextl> nanotube: yes, but everything is assuming I know something that I evidently dont
[07:10] <nanotube> Dextl: heh. ic. so can you distill your point of misunderstanding somewhat? so that i know what to address?
[07:10] <illbeatu> what does -y option for sudo apt-get do?
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> illbeatu: says yes yo any questions
[07:10] <nanotube> illbeatu: "man apt-get"
[07:10] <marsh> anyone able to install touchkit successfully?
[07:10] <hippie> nanotube, I need the undernet server, as it is there all my friends are ;)
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> illbeatu: it willalso uninstall packages if they get in the way of the package being installed
[07:11] <illbeatu> o
[07:11] <Dextl> nanotube:  all I really know about keys is that they are used for security/encryption reasons and that I need one so I can set up a vpn with my friend.  I don't really get how to make them and how they work exactly
[07:11] <nanotube> hippie: heh well... sorry? :)
[07:11] <Dextl> nanotube:  I made a private key, but I dont know how I get a public key out of it
[07:11] <hippie> nanotube, yeah - guess I have to wait till I come home ;)
[07:11] <slytherin> crdlb: are backport-modules package installed by default?
[07:12] <nanotube> Dextl: openpgp?
[07:12] <Dextl> nanotube: I do not know what that is
[07:12] <crdlb> slytherin: no, but it's on the CD
[07:12] <nanotube> Dextl: what did you use to create the key?
[07:13] <TheMoop> Is there something that would compare to K9copy for GNOME ?
[07:13] <Dextl> nanotube: ssh
[07:13] <hippie> doesn't sshd generate the keypair?
[07:13] <nanotube> Dextl: ah ok, so you created the key, and saved it where? in ~/.ssh, ?
[07:13] <nanotube> hippie: yea, it generates both
[07:13] <CosmiChaos> nanotube: hey deactivating all plugins and reactivating as well as uninstalling no more needed and not upgradable (3.0.6) ;) that fixed it
[07:14] <TheMoop> I'm trying the xDVDShrink program
[07:14] <TheMoop> Doesn't seem too promising
[07:14] <jimmygoon> Flannel, is it possible that moving my home dir messed up my ssh keys
[07:14] <Dextl> nanotube: I saved it wherever it saved it by default.  I think that is it
[07:14] <slytherin> TheMoop: what does k9copy do?
[07:14] <TheMoop> slytherin, backs up DVDs
[07:14] <nanotube> TheMoop: why not just use k9copy? it works on gnome too, you know.
[07:14] <TheMoop> nanotube, Yes, but it runs slow
[07:15] <nanotube> TheMoop: hrm, slow comp? i don't notice kde apps being slow on my gnome de...
[07:15] <TheMoop> nanotube, 1.8 GHz dual core
[07:15] <TheMoop> 2 GBs of RAM
[07:15] <nanotube> Dextl: well, ssh generates both keys, public and private, at the same time. so wherever you saved the private key, the public key should be sitting right next to it there.
[07:15] <TheMoop> 500 GB HD , 128 video card (don't play many games)
[07:15] <slytherin> TheMoop: have you tried dvd95?
[07:16] <TheMoop> slytherin, No, never heard of it
[07:16] <Dextl> nanotube: ah, I see.  so if I go open the document it will be there.  That is neat.  Thank you.
[07:16] <nanotube> Dextl: so look in your ~/.ssh directory, you'll see something like "id_rsa", and "id_rsa.pub". the second one is the public key
[07:16] <slytherin> TheMoop: I have only heard of it. never used. It's in repos
[07:17] <nanotube> slytherin: sounds like windows95....  :)
[07:17] <nanotube> Dextl: so you found it? :)
[07:17] <DigitalKiwi> <3 k9copy
[07:18] <Kartagis> !info mencoder
[07:18] <balrog__> how can you exit fullscreen in okular?
[07:18] <TheMoop> slytherin, It seems like it would work
[07:18] <Dextl> nanotube: well, I found a file that is called id_rsa.pub
[07:18] <Dextl> nanotube: but I cant open it
[07:18] <burcyril10> anyone interesting in helping me get a wired network connection working?
[07:19] <Dykam> I can't run a executable from terminal, whilst double-clicking it from nautilus does work.
[07:19] <nanotube> Dextl: what are you trying to open it /with/? it's a plain text file... so you can just look at it with "more" from the cli, or "gedit" if you like gui...
[07:19] <nanotube> Dykam: how are you trying to run it, and where is it located?
[07:19] <Dykam> /opt/flexsdk
[07:19] <Dykam> I have set the chmod like:
[07:19] <Dykam> -rwxr-xr-x 1
[07:20] <nanotube> Dykam: so what happens when you run "/opt/flexsdk" from the cli?
[07:20] <Dextl> nanotube:  snap.  I got it open.  but now its just a bunch of gibberish... how do I tell what part is the public key?
[07:20] <ronin_> whats a good size for the boot partition
[07:20] <Dykam> wait, it is in a sub-subfolder in /flexsdk
[07:20] <parkourlist> fuck
[07:20] <Dykam> /opt/flexsdk/runtimes/player/10/lnx/flashplayer
[07:20] <DigitalKiwi> !language
[07:21] <nanotube> Dextl: the whole thing is the key. and it's /supposed/ to look like a bunch of gibberish :)
[07:21] <parkourlist> jjj
[07:21] <Dykam> if I run it, it says it doesn't find the command, also no autocompletion using tab
[07:21] <MrGoodkat> i have a problem using SCIM, i can just enter chinese characters in office and firefox but not in other programs like anki (which is a flashcard prog). I have to write the characters using office and then copy&paste them into other programs
[07:21] <parkourlist> hai guyz. . . .
[07:21] <nanotube> Dykam: you must be mistyping the dirnames...
[07:21] <|Azzco|> Hi, I'm trying to set Alt+Right click to rezise windows in compiz. but it just defaults to showing the menu. How do I get rid of this behavior?
[07:21] <nanotube> Dykam: otherwise there would be autocompletion :)
[07:21] <Dykam> I'm in the dir
[07:21] <Dextl> nanotube:  well then.  I feel like I now know a little bit more then I did before.  I dont suppose you could tell me a bit about this signing thing?
[07:21] <Dykam> and typing flashplayer
[07:21] <Dykam> can't be the problem
[07:22] <Dykam> hmm
[07:22] <Dykam> ./flashplayer does work
[07:22] <DigitalKiwi> use ./name
[07:22] <nanotube> Dykam: are you typing "./flashplayer" maybe? :)
[07:22] <parkourlist> where's the girls????
[07:22] <Dykam> why doesn't it work without..
[07:22] <nanotube> Dykam: ah there it is :)
[07:22] <nanotube> because that dir is not in your default search path
[07:22] <nanotube> Dykam: so the shell doesn't look for executables there by default.
[07:22] <Dykam> but I'm right in that dir... must be a difference with windows
[07:22] <nanotube> Dykam: if you add "." to your PATH it will. but that's generally not a great idea.
[07:23] <Dykam> hehe
[07:23] <nanotube> Dykam: so that's not in there by default.
[07:23] <nanotube> Dykam: and the shell only does exactly what you tell it to. so "." isn't there, so it won't look there. :)
[07:23] <Dykam> and why does this not work: "flashplayer=/opt/flexsdk/runtimes/player/10/lnx/flashplayer"
[07:23] <Kartagis> coughcoughchmod +x coughcough
[07:23] <Dykam> Kartagis, not?
[07:24] <Dykam> already done '¬¬
[07:24] <nanotube> Dextl: well, encryption works as follows: you encrypt with someone's public key, send it to them, and only they can decrypt it because only they have the private key
[07:24] <Dykam> export flashplayer=/opt/flexsdk/runtimes/player/10/lnx/flashplayer -> doesn't allow me to use flashplayer as a command
[07:25] <TheMoop> slytherin, It seems to be working okie dokey, I'll let it go and see what happens
[07:25] <nanotube> Dextl: signing works in reverse. person encrypts something with their /private/ key, which can only be decrypted with a public key. so, then if you can decrypt something with that person's public key, than means that whoever sent it had access to the private key - and therefore, is the person in question. so it's a form of identity checking.
[07:25] <artur_> hello
[07:25] <marsh> anyone able to install touchkit successfully?
[07:25] <marsh> i need to install one on a POS device
[07:26] <bindaas> Dykam: export is not for that purpose ,specify in *path*
[07:26] <Dykam> bindaas, but is only for one executable
[07:26] <Dykam> If that's the only way, I'll do it
[07:26] <Dextl> nanotube:  allright... allright.. that all makes sense.  but what about this thing I always hear about with people signing each other's keys and whatnot?
[07:27] <balrog__> how do you archive a folder and split it into 700MB-size chunks?
[07:27] <Dykam> thanks bindaas and nanotube, it does work now
[07:28] <abhi__> my ubuntu has become too slow from yesterday, all windows and programs open too slowly also firefox opens pages slow?how to restore?
[07:28] <bindaas> Dykam: cheers :)
[07:28] <marsh> big favor
[07:28] <nanotube> Dykam: if you want an alias, use "alias flashplayer=/opt/blablabla".
[07:28] <Dykam> nanotube, ah, alias, thanks
[07:28] <nanotube> Dykam: but really the standard thing is to just append that dir to your PATH
[07:28] <abhi__> i cleaned temp and removed wine, then too no effect in performance and speed
[07:28] <Dykam> ok
[07:28] <marsh> can someone make a binary installer for me of this driver...  http://www.touchkit.com/Drivers.htm
[07:28] <nanotube> Dextl: that's about the web of trust :)
[07:28] <marsh> click on ubuntu / debian
[07:29] <beannieman> whats easier to setup on a dedicated server Debain or Ubuntun?
[07:29] <SpinachHead> should libflashsupport cause firefox to crash?  Flash sites almost always make it crash, now but without it, I get no sound in flash.
[07:29] <b1n42y> how do i restart my sound server its stuck in a loop after playing chronium
[07:30] <b1n42y> !sound
[07:30] <nanotube> Dextl: say you have a public key which claims to be from john doe? how do you know it really is him, and not bob? well, if there's a chain of trust from you to johndoes key, then you can know. say, you know mike, who knows kevin, who knows john. so kevin signs john's key to certify that he knows john and that this is really his key. then mike signs kevins key, and mike you know personally. so thus, a chain of trust is established from yo
[07:30] <nanotube> u to john.
[07:30] <burcyril10> can't establish a network connection, hardware seems fine, it just can
[07:30] <burcyril10> t get ip from dhcp
[07:30] <SpinachHead> or, If I was going to reinstall flash and have sound supports, what should I uninstall and then install?
[07:31] <abhi__> my ubuntu has become too slow from yesterday, all windows and programs open too slowly also firefox opens pages slow?how to restore?any one please help
[07:31] <Dextl> nanotube: that is just about the coolest thing ever.  I like ubuntu.  it makes me like computers again.
[07:32] <Dykam> haha
[07:32] <dj_> ubuntu is awesome
[07:32] <nanotube> Dextl: glad to brighten your day :)
[07:32] <Dextl> nanotube: thank you.  and thank you again for answering my questions
[07:32] <nanotube> Dextl: even cooler: there are such things as "key signing parties", where people get together, hang out, and sign each other's public keys. :)
[07:32] <nanotube> Dextl: no prob. :)
[07:33] <SpinachHead> Does anyone get sound in flash without libflashsupport?
[07:33] <dj_> I was having issues for about a month cause i had no clue what i was doing tryin to mount a phone ,I reinstalled and gave it another shot did nothing and now it works halfway
[07:33] <rww> SpinachHead: I do. It works out of the box for me :/
[07:33] <Dextl> nanotube:  I read xkcd, so I knew about those... but I never understood that concept until right now
[07:33] <SpinachHead> which packaget rww?
[07:33] <rww> SpinachHead: flashplugin-nonfree. I think I'm just lucky with it.
[07:34] <nanotube> Dextl: yea, xkcd rocks! :) (for the most part... it's kind of a letdown when he just does something randomly weird and not really geeky... )
[07:34] <SpinachHead> it used to work, but then the sound stopped working so I installed libflashsupport which I guess fixes the pulseaudio sound problems, but now it crashes firefox like every other flash movie
[07:34] <beannieman> if there is anyone with a spare moment could they pm please, i have a few questions about a dedicated server, and getting it setup correctly
[07:35] <dj_> can anyone suggest the term to search for or give me a link so I can set permissions on a usb flash drive to make it read/write
[07:35] <Dextl> nanotube:  true.  I know certain parties wern't exactly a fan of Monday's comic... but for the most part its pretty much the best strip on the net.
[07:35] <SpinachHead> so adobe-flashplugin is the same as flash-plugin nonfree?
[07:35] <nanotube> Dextl: speaking of which... i'll go check out what's new on xkcd. :)
[07:36] <Dextl> nanotube: well snap, it is technically wendsday today
[07:36] <rww> dj_: sudo chown -R yourusername /path/to/mountpoint
[07:37] <Spacin> Anyone know how to add scripts to here?
[07:37] <burcyril10> any one who can help me establish a connection to dhcp to get assigned and ip (on private network)
[07:37] <rww> Spacin: What do you mean?
[07:37] <XPS_M1330> I installed XFCE to try it out. Then I came back to KDE, and now my OpenOffice is all ugly, seems like it uses XFCE's graphical renderer! The icons have been changed too, for those from XFCE (circle with bird)
[07:37] <XPS_M1330> now I have removed all the XFCE packages (checked all packages in history), but openoffice didn't come back to normal...
[07:37] <wartalker> burcyril10: dhclient
[07:37] <Spacin> I've tried many times to add a script to another server in xchat. And I can't figure it out
[07:37] <Spacin> It just will not load a script
[07:37] <dj_> thanks rww
[07:37] <kc8pxy> where can i get an iso of 8.04, pre-8.04.1 ?
[07:38] <nanotube> Dextl: indeed it is. :)
[07:38] <rww> kc8pxy: umm. 8.04.1 is just 8.04 with updates that you'd get through apt-get anyway, you know. Any particular reason you need one?
[07:38] <burcyril10> wartalker: please explain to me process a little - switch between the two computers is slow
[07:38] <sa125> hi - anyone knows which ports are typically used by pidgin (for msn, gtalk, aim)?
[07:39] <lb> can someone point me in the direction of a howto setup a swap file on my sd card on the eeepc running ubuntu 8.10 thx

[07:40] <quentusrex> What would cause munin to suddenly not allow telnet into the port 4949?
[07:40] <quentusrex> All other ports work fine.
[07:40] <quentusrex> and munin allows telnet from localhost...
[07:40] <quentusrex> but not from any remote host.
[07:40] <nanotube> Spacin: hrm,,, try in #xchat, maybe?
[07:40] <Spacin> ok.. thank you
[07:41] <kc8pxy> rww:  I'm trying to setup an approx server, with as many updates to 8.04 as possible. if i install an 8.04 pre-update, approx will cache them all,  am i right? in that right, older is better :)
[07:42] <Diesel> Can some one tell me what is the safe way to partition my hard drive On Unbuntu with out any error's
[07:42] <Spacin> ....Oh well. Seems no one's in there that's talking
[07:42] <kc8pxy> Diesel:  do you have another os on the drive?
[07:42] <Diesel> kc8pxy,  no
[07:43] <crdlb> kc8pxy: I don't understand what you're doing, but: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/8.04.0/
[07:43] <Diesel> kc8pxy,  Im gong to in stalll Bt and Ubuntu Ubuntu is running
[07:43] <kc8pxy> Diesel:  then my pick would be to let the installer use guided,  use entire disk :)
[07:44] <natschil> hello, does anybody know howto mount a ext3 virtualbox expanding image?
[07:44] <lacqui> hi.  i'm having a crash with evince on intrepid
[07:44] <Diesel> kc8pxy, Ubuntu is running now , Backtrack is what Im working to make room for
[07:45] <Diesel> Just dont want to make a mistake on partitioning
[07:45] <lacqui> i get "evince: /build/buildd/cairo-1.8.0/src/cairo-xlib-surface.c:934: _draw_image_surface: Assersion `ret != 0' failed."
[07:46] <croppa> Has ther been a good sulition for the problem of pairing a bluetooth device which has a fixed code in intreped?
[07:47] <bigtwix2> anyone had a problem with updating nvidia drivers, and the xserver wont boot?
[07:47] <croppa> I have been trying to pair a gps tracker with a code of 000
[07:47] <ActionParsnip> croppa: sure, when you pair it, use that code
[07:48] <croppa> ActionParsnip: I wish it was that simple :-)
[07:48] <rww> lacqui: Looks like it's reported already but doesn't have a resolution yet: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libcairo/+bug/296701
[07:49] <croppa> In Intrepid you dont get the oppertunity to use a fixed code
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> croppa: theres a conf file where you can specify a code to always use but it willbe used for other stuff to so itsnot secure unless you set that you have to manually accept all data sent
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> croppa: or just change it while you pair that one device, then switch back
[07:50] <croppa> ActionParsnip: where is that config file
[07:50] <NOTEBOOK> kr.hanirc.org
[07:50] <NOTEBOOK> r=
[07:50] <NOTEBOOK> 오노
[07:51] <ActionParsnip> croppa: try: gksudo gedit  /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> croppa: you may need to restart a bluetooth daemon to apply the setting
[07:53] <croppa> ActionParsnip: ther is no /ect/bluetooth/hcid.conf file there to start with
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> croppa: fine: sudo find -name *.conf | grep ^hc
[07:54] <Spacin> v.v  anyone willing to help me with loading a script?
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: ask the room your question, it will respond
[07:56] <Spacin> I have asked
[07:56] <lanoxx-> e
[07:56]  * hippie greets Zta
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: can you give some more information then
[07:57] <Zta> The ubuntu 7.04 (feisty) archive seems to have disappeared.  Where can I find it.
[07:57] <Spacin> I'm trying to load a script and I can't figure out how
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: loading a script - not exactly detail
[07:57] <Spacin> A colour script
[07:57] <crdlb> Zta: feisty is no longer supported
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: you can RUN a script, you dont load a script
[07:57] <croppa> ActionParsnip: That didnt find any files :-(
[07:57] <Zta> crdlb, so they just remove it for the planet's surface??
[07:57] <Spacin> Same thing
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> croppa: then its handled by some other file in /etc
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: then chmod +x <script file> to make it executanle
[07:58] <Zta> There's a difference between "not supporting" and "sabotaging".  I need some 7.04 packages.
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: if the script is in your current pwd, use ./<script name>
[07:58] <iGmail> How to convert wma to mp3 ? any idea for this with mplayer?
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: r use /path/to/<script name>
[07:58] <croppa> Yes there plenty of mensions of the problem about when googled :-(
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> croppa: bluetooth is a PITA
[07:59] <croppa> PITA?
[07:59] <hippie> Pain In The A..
[07:59] <Daft_Punk> P o S
[07:59] <croppa> ok
[07:59] <Zta> Anyone know where I can find a 7.04 repo?
[07:59] <Daft_Punk> Zta, a mirror perhaps?
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> !7.04
[08:00] <Daft_Punk> !eol
[08:00] <Zta> Daft_Punk, I was actually hoping the official archive.ubuntu.com would keep them =\
[08:00] <croppa> It seem that it worked ok in hardy
[08:00] <Zta> This really sucks.
[08:00] <crdlb> Zta: you can change your sources to old-releases.ubuntu.com
[08:00] <croppa> Thanks anyway ActionParsnip
[08:00] <croppa> I will have to keep looking
[08:01] <Zta> crdlb, thanks!!! =)
[08:01] <Zta> fantastic
[08:01] <Spacin> Damn it.. I'm confused even more...  v.v
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: a script is just a text file with fancy syntax
[08:02] <croppa> It seems that changes were made in bluez-gnome
[08:02] <Daft_Punk> Zta, no, they wouldnt keep them, its like microsoft not selling obsolete software anymore, ubuntu wont keep obsolete software either, you can check a torrent or mirror site if you want an older version that is no longer supported
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: if you chmod +x the scriptfile it will make it executable
[08:02] <Spacin> How do I do the chmod?
[08:03] <Daft_Punk> Spacin, use terminal (CLI)
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: if the script is in the same folder as your terminal is sat in you have to execute it with ./ to make the shell look in the local folder
[08:03] <Daft_Punk> !cli
[08:03] <Zta> Daft_Punk, That's a crappy policy.  So Ubuntu basically forces people upgrade their computers.  This takes time and costs money, and is unnecessary if the server runs fine.  Who's going to pay for this?  Ubuntu?
[08:03] <Spacin> Ok
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: 3rd time now....  chmod +x <whatever the script is called type it here>
[08:03] <Daft_Punk> Zta, ubuntu is free
[08:03] <wlsdnrwodnr> 하하
[08:04] <wlsdnrwodnr> 다 미국 사람인가?
[08:04] <hippie> Daft_Punk, time is money :)
[08:04] <wlsdnrwodnr> hi~
[08:04] <Daft_Punk> hippie, well i wish I was being paid to be here :p
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: if your terminal is not in the same folder as the script you will have to specify the path to it
[08:04] <Zta> Daft_Punk, you don't get my point
[08:04] <wlsdnrwodnr> why
[08:04] <iGmail> wlsdnrwodnr: only English here.
[08:04] <wlsdnrwodnr> no
[08:05] <hippie> Daft_Punk, look at it this way: it costs money in lost productivity :)
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> Zta: it doesnt force them to upgrade at all, you can run fluxbuntu or xubuntuon some very old hardware
[08:05] <wlsdnrwodnr> 영어는 어려워
[08:05] <bindaas> Draft_Punk:ubuntu is free but unnecessary upgrades costs time/money
[08:05] <Zta> ActionParsnip, I'm running a server.
[08:05] <Daft_Punk> Zta, hippie if you want ubuntu 7.04 you can download it off a mirror or torrent
[08:05] <_ruben> running a server on deprecated software is, well, stupid
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> Zta: even better, no x server
[08:06] <hippie> _ruben, tell that to the debian guys ;)
[08:06] <Daft_Punk> Zta, http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/feisty/
[08:06] <Zta> Daft_Punk, I got that.
[08:06] <Riya> what is the use of wifiradar
[08:06] <_ruben> hippie: atleast that'd be supported deprecated software :)
[08:06] <Daft_Punk> Zta, ok so what is the problem?
[08:06] <Zta> Daft_Punk, I'm just trying to get my point though to you =)
[08:07] <Riya> fi5e what is wifi radar pkg
[08:07] <Daft_Punk> Zta, as far as I understand, you asked a question, you got the resolution you required, and you are trying to banter because of principle?
[08:07] <kkb110> .
[08:07] <kkb110> hi
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> Zta: its fOSS which has zero warranty and zero SLA, they could turn off all the repos and theres nothing youo can do
[08:07] <rww> Zta: Your server is running an unsupported operating system that is not getting security updates. Ubuntu can't provide security and other updates for every single release it does, way back into the past, they don't have resources for it.
[08:08] <rww> Zta: unless you think it'll be awesome when one of those security holes that your server didn't get patched is used to exploit it, it'd probably be wise for you to upgrade.
[08:08] <Zta> rww, I'm not asking for any of that.  I just want access to the latest packages for that release.  I need some extra packages.
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> Zta: they choose to stop supporting the old versions as if it runs say 50 years then there will be aboout 100 old versions of ubuntu to make packages for the first couple incase some guy is still running it
[08:08] <Zta> rww, I do understand why it's smart to upgrade.
[08:08] <Daft_Punk> Zta, there are no latest patches/upgrades for that OS, it is dead.
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> Zta: you can freely compile stuff
[08:09] <Zta> Daft_Punk, There's *always* a latest packages.
[08:09] <Zta> ActionParsnip, oh please, don't sabotage the discussion with this crap.
[08:09] <Daft_Punk> Zta, not in the repos or synaptic, you would have to compile it yourself
[08:09] <Spacin> No such file or directory
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> Zta: why, its a fact
[08:09] <crdlb> this is not a discussion channel ...
[08:09] <Daft_Punk> ActionParsnip, perhaps, create a factoid :P
[08:10] <Zta> Daft_Punk, I'm not talking about the software developers latest version -- I'm talking about the latest version Ubuntu released.
[08:10] <crdlb> as long as Zta is fully aware that his machine should never be connected to the Internet, I think we can move one
[08:10] <crdlb> on*
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> !compile | Daft_Punk
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> ;)
[08:10] <rww> Daft_Punk: replace "latest" with "last" in Zta's messages. Woohoo, problem solved.
[08:10] <Daft_Punk> ActionParsnip, i meant a factoid for Zta's concern of using an old os with no support
[08:10] <Zta> rww, yeah whatever
[08:10] <Daft_Punk> lol
[08:11] <rww> Zta: That was pointing out Daft_Punk's pickiness, not a criticism of you.
[08:11] <Daft_Punk> :O
[08:11] <Zta> rww, ok =)
[08:11] <Daft_Punk> 0.o
[08:12] <DinkyDogg> hi there
[08:12] <DinkyDogg> can someone help me out? I'm trying to mount a floppy disk from my ubuntu server install
[08:12] <DinkyDogg> it's formatted to vfat
[08:13] <Spacin> Crap...
[08:13] <DinkyDogg> i see the file /dev/fd0 but i can't seem to mount it
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> DinkyDogg: sudo mkdir /media/floppy; sudo mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
[08:13] <Zta> besides, I *am* trying to build the newest version of a pacakge, namely ffmpeg.  But I just needed the deps.
[08:13] <joerack> please help me , dragon player isn't working
[08:13] <Zta> ie. -dev package dependencies
[08:13] <slytherin> DinkyDogg: what command are you using for mounting?
[08:14] <DinkyDogg> uh, ok, this is embarassing, the floppy was not actually in the drive
[08:14] <Riya> how can config pppd
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> DinkyDogg: D'oh ;)
[08:14] <DinkyDogg> indeed :)
[08:14] <DinkyDogg> huh
[08:14] <DinkyDogg> now it's in
[08:14] <DinkyDogg> but when i run "file /dev/fd0"
[08:14] <DinkyDogg> /dev/fd0: ERROR: cannot open `/dev/fd0' (No such file or directory)
[08:15] <rww> DinkyDogg: The floppy module isn't loaded by default any more. "sudo modprobe floppy" should fix it.
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> DinkyDogg: do you have the floppy module loaded?
[08:15] <DinkyDogg> ah
[08:15] <Doble> Hi
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> DinkyDogg: sudo modprobe floppy
[08:16] <DinkyDogg> just did the modprobe command
[08:16] <DinkyDogg> aha
[08:16] <DinkyDogg> okay
[08:16] <DinkyDogg> that did it
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> DinkyDogg: edit /etc/modules and put the word floppy at the bottom, it will load in at bootup
[08:16] <DinkyDogg> thank guys
[08:16] <FloodBot1> DinkyDogg: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:16] <DinkyDogg> good to know
[08:16] <DinkyDogg> thanks
[08:16] <rww> DinkyDogg: No problem. You reminded me to go do that myself :)
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> np bro
[08:18] <ronin_> Anyone had the ubuntu install fail on installing vimo?
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> !info vimo
[08:19] <DinkyDogg> okay, next problem
[08:19] <DinkyDogg> my floppy drive is mounted upside down
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> ronin_: did you md5 check your iso as wellas verify the burned cd was ok on the first boot screen?
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> DinkyDogg: do you mean pysically?
[08:19] <DinkyDogg> yep
[08:20] <DinkyDogg> (i'm not expecting anyone to help me fix that one)
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> DinkyDogg: doesnt mater
[08:20] <DinkyDogg> true, but if people notice i'll be embarassed
[08:20] <ronin_> yeah just going though resuce to see if i can continue the install
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> DinkyDogg: then you gotta open the case and flip it
[08:21] <DigitalKiwi> turn your computer upside down to counteract the floppy being mounted wrong
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> DinkyDogg: i do mine upside down so the button is on top, saves leaning
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> DinkyDogg: or go for a sideways afair :)
[08:22] <abba> join #ubuntu.ru
[08:22]  * Spacin is still having issues... v.v
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: can you please quit wit the v.v thing
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> *with
[08:23] <DigitalKiwi> why? :/
[08:23] <rww> Spacin: How about this. Explain what your problem is, using descriptive words to explain what you mean by words like "script", and we'll go from there.
[08:24] <defrysk> DigitalKiwi, its annoiing
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> cos its annoying and achieves nothing
[08:24] <DigitalKiwi> all emoticons or just v.v ?
[08:24] <DinkyDogg> O.o and >:[ are okay
[08:24] <rww> funny, i find the complaining more annoying than the emoticons v.v
[08:24] <Nytrix> :-)
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: where is your script on your system?
[08:24] <Spacin> its in my home folder
[08:25] <DinkyDogg> <*-[[[[[-{
[08:25] <Doble> hi folks, anyone here from australia
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: in the root of your home folder?

[08:25] <ActionParsnip> !ru
[08:26] <DinkyDogg> ok, thanks again for the help, ActionParsnip and company, gonna reboot and see if my dos floppy adventure fixed my monitor. The plug and play values got corrupted and the only tutorial i found to fix them involved a dos floppy. Anyway, brb.
[08:26] <Spacin> its called 'nice colour script'
[08:26] <rww> Doble: try #ubuntu-au, the Australia local community team channel.
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: ok np
[08:26] <Doble> okay, cheers
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: run this interminal: chmod +x ~/nice\ colour\ script; sh ~/nice\ colour\ script
[08:27] <k1> anyone has any experience with kino? i'm trying to trim a DVD to a 5 minutes scene, kino does it but will only save it a .kino file which i cannot do anything with
[08:27] <DinkyDogg> excellent, it worked
[08:28] <rww> ActionParsnip: it's an xchat script, as far as I can tell. I don't think it's supposed to be run on the shell :/
[08:28] <Spacin> Can't open it
[08:28] <ActionParsnip> rww: interesting, can you advise through that. i dont use xchat
[08:29] <rww> Spacin: it's an XChat script, right?
[08:29] <Spacin> Its not specified for xchat
[08:29] <DinkyDogg> ActionParsnip, you're using pidgin?
[08:29] <DinkyDogg> or something else that uses lib purple?
[08:30] <Pepelargo> Hi all
[08:30] <rww> Spacin: do you happen to have a link to where you got it from, or something?
[08:30] <Spacin> My friend sent it to me by email
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> DinkyDogg: yep
[08:31] <Pepelargo> Anyone uses PDFEDIT? I installed it but I can't insert text on pdfs..the tool comes up, I can write text, but when I click on intro it dissapears
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> DinkyDogg: why do you ask?
[08:31] <rww> Spacin: Okay. Can you open it up and copy its contents into http://paste.ubuntu.com/, please?
[08:31] <Pepelargo> Anyway, I am just trying to edit a PDF in ubuntu, any other tool? thanks
[08:31] <DinkyDogg> just curious. I'm also looking for a good cli client to replace bitchx, since ubuntu doesn't support it anymore for security reasons, ActionParsnip
[08:32] <rww> DinkyDogg: irssi works pretty well and a lot of people use it. there's also weechat-curses, which is kinda nice
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> !irc | DinkyDogg
[08:32] <Spacin> Ok
[08:32] <DinkyDogg> rww and ActionParsnip, thanks, good to know
[08:33] <Spacin> Its pasted
[08:33] <rww> Spacin: okay, I see it ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/126168/ ). Give me a minute to check some stuff.
[08:33] <Spacin> ok
[08:34] <rww> Spacin: That's a script for a Windows-only IRC client called mIRC. I don't you're going to be able to use that in Ubuntu :/
[08:34] <Spacin> Awhh.. crappy
[08:34] <Pepelargo> anything to edit a PDF file in ubuntu?
[08:35] <joaopinto> Pepelargo, pdfedit
[08:35] <rww> Spacin: many IRC servers, channels, and clients block colors in IRC messages anyway, and many people find them annoying, so you're not missing much.
[08:35] <Spacin> I have 2 other scripts that I found on hawkee
[08:35] <Pepelargo> joaopinto, yeah but it is not working for me, I have a PDF file that I cant edit because it is LINEALIZED
[08:36] <rww> Spacin: (they wouldn't work at all in this channel, for example)
[08:36] <Pepelargo> joaopinto, I am trying to add new text and PDFEDIT doesnt allow me
[08:36] <joaopinto> :\
[08:36] <Spacin> Is there anywhere to find ones compatible with ubuntu?
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> !info pdfedit
[08:37] <rww> Spacin: http://digdilem.org/irc/ seems to be the most popular one for XChat.
[08:37] <adantan_alex> is there a possible way to install ubuntu inside windows on another drive and add it to the boot loader?
[08:37] <Spacin> Ok
[08:37] <kraut> moin
[08:37] <Pepelargo> I repeat, I don't have anyproblem installing PDFEDIT, in fact it is already working in my machine, the problem is that the linealized files are not supported
[08:37] <ziroday> adantan_alex: inside windows?
[08:37] <adantan_alex> as a windows application..
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> adantan_alex: you can install ubuntu on the other drive then windows will be added to grubs config
[08:38] <rww> Spacin: by the way, if you add scripts to XChat that talk in-channel or message other people automatically, please diasable them in this and other Ubuntu channels (they're against the !guidelines)
[08:38] <adantan_alex> never mind..
[08:38] <ActionParsnip> adantan_alex: if you install ubuntu within linux you will be running a virtual system
[08:38] <Pepelargo> It is a fact: PDFEdit won't "edit" linearized pdfs
[08:38] <Spacin> Ohh ok
[08:38] <ActionParsnip> adantan_alex: or theres wubi
[08:39] <Mark^^> hi, i was trying to get vncserver working-then suddenly it seems my xserver crashed/died? i cant load anything just get 'cannot connect to display errors#
[08:39] <Mark^^> what would have caused this?
[08:40] <ActionParsnip> Mark^^: ssh over and read the system logs
[08:40] <Pepelargo> Does OpenOffice open PDFs in some way I ignore?
[08:40] <Mark^^> ahh good idea ActionParsnip
[08:40] <Mark^^> what log specifically ? sorry if its obvious
[08:40] <ActionParsnip> dmesg | less is a good start
[08:40] <ziroday> Mark^^: /var/log/xorg.0.log
[08:41] <Mark^^> thanks ziroday  & ActionParsnip ;)
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> Mark^^: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LinuxLogFiles
[08:41] <Mark^^> cheers
[08:42] <rurouni27> :o i cant get ubuntu to boot up, it keeps on comming up with ata1.00 error messages
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> rurouni27: did you md5 check the iso you downloaded as well as verify the burned disk was correct on the first bootup screen?
[08:43] <rurouni27> i can still boot into a windows partition so i know that my hd hasnt crashed
[08:43] <rurouni27> iv already installed it, and this just happened out of nowhere
[08:44] <rurouni27> iv tried fsck but the results are strange
[08:44] <Sepero> rurouni27: Are the errors "IO" errors?
[08:45] <corinth> Anyone know the command that the show desktop applet uses?
[08:47] <rurouni27> probly, "[...] ata1.00: status: {drdy err} /n [...] ata1.00: error: {unc} \n ... : exception emask 0x.... \n ...bdma stat ... \n ...cmd ..."
[08:47] <adantan_alex> ?
[08:47] <Sepero> rurouni27: It is a sign of a harddrive failure if you get errors that say "IO" or "short read"
[08:47] <rurouni27> it doesnt say that
[08:47] <Sepero> rurouni27: good
[08:47] <rurouni27> yes!
[08:48] <rurouni27> i dont mind starting again but i want to get like a few files that i havnt got recent copies of
[08:48]  * Spacin can't find any colour scripts.. oh well. Thanks for the help though!
[08:49] <Sepero> corinth: I have no idea. Any special reason?
[08:49] <rurouni27> its a kernel error,  and i cant find it anywhere
[08:49] <FireBad> Is DVD95 and DVDShrink in WINE the only options besides KDE's k9copy?
[08:50] <rurouni27> when i tried fsck on gentoo min cd it also came up with the same kernel errors
[08:51] <corinth> Supero: None of your business!
[08:51] <Sepero> rurouni27: I'm not saying it's not a harddrive error. Just that it isn't one I'm used to seeing. I'm only used to working with ide drives.
[08:51] <corinth> J/k :-P
[08:52] <rurouni27> it cant be a physical problem though because i can boot up in windows
[08:52] <Sepero> rurouni27: So I wouldn't rule it out 100%, but I think your odds of a bad install have increased
[08:52] <Pepelargo> After 9 months using exclusively Ubuntu in for my work (even the rest of the people in the office is using XP and laughing at me)...I have to say that I could do everything I used to do before and much more, but only one bad point: So far I haven't found an email tool that works 100% corerct with exchange, Evoultion has lacks of options and get stuck, Thunderbird only thourhgt IMAP and no calendar, and very slow...nothing more.
[08:52] <Ficthe> hi. I plan to be installing ubuntu on an imac g5. I believe it's got the intel chip now, so the regular iso (that's also used for installation on PC's) should work on the imac g5, correct?
[08:52] <corinth> Sepero: I want to create a custom applet for show desktop. I don't like the box around the icon for the panel applet. I want to set a custom icon for it, too.
[08:52] <rurouni27> it was running fine for like a week
[08:52] <FireBad> !dvdcopy
[08:52] <rurouni27> actualy this has been running for quite a few months
[08:53] <Ficthe> Pepelargo, if nothing settles it - you can perhaps try outlook (or whatever the alternative was, that was working for you on windows) with Wine
[08:53] <Sepero> rurouni27: Most harddrives don't start having errors everywhere on the disk at once. Often the errors start in a localized area.
[08:53] <rww> Ficthe: iMac G5s use the G5 CPU, which is PowerPC, not Intel. The latest iMac (which is not a G5) uses an Intel processor.
[08:53] <rurouni27> Sepero: is there any way i can get anything off it
[08:54] <Pepelargo> Ficthe, yes, I am using codeblokers with Outlook 2003, but it is a pity to still need sticking on a Microsoft tool
[08:54] <Sepero> rurouni27: Use a LiveCD?
[08:54] <Ficthe> rww, oh really, hrm. so I would have to use the powerpc disc then, eh... just out of curioisity, are there any other linux distros that provide images for the powepc?
[08:54] <Pepelargo> But I just have to say that I am very happy with my UBuntu, and I wouldn't go back to Xp again
[08:55] <rww> Ficthe: I'm not sure. Back when the iMac G5 first came out, if was very poorly supported by Linux. I sold mine a while ago, and am not sure of its status now.
[08:55] <holyguyver> How do I fix this Bash:alsa reload lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/jack/.gvfs Output information may be incomplete.
[08:55] <Sepero> corinth: Nice idea. Unfortunately, all I can do right now is suggest google. If you find out, I'd be interested in knowing though. :)
[08:55] <rurouni27> Sepero: i tried gentoo but it was getting the same problems
[08:56] <sylis> does Rhythmbox sync with ipods well?
[08:56] <Sepero> rurouni27: What do you mean by "get anything off it"? You want to backup the data?
[08:56] <Ficthe> rww, to be honest, I'm not completely sure if it's the iMac G5's that I'll be installing on (my school teacher just said I could install on a bunch.. they may possibly be the newers ones, with the intel processor.. I hope they are :)) in any case, thanks -- I'll gogle up as well to see what other alternatives exist
[08:57] <FireBad> Oh yes, while I am here.  I been having a problem with VLC turning "Blue" on me.  I log out and in , and it corrects the problem until it happens again.  What is the issue /
[08:57] <FireBad> ?
[08:57] <rurouni27> Sepero: yeh
[08:58] <holyguyver>  pulseaudio W: pid.c: Stale PID file, overwriting. ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid E: socket-server.c: socket(PF_INET6): Address family not supported by protocol
[08:58] <FireBad> This is also true for mplayer
[08:58] <cooldduuudde> FireBad: go to system >preferences> qt 4 settings. it might help. what do you mean by turning blue?
[08:58] <FireBad> (They turn blue together)
[08:58] <Sepero> rurouni27: Can you access the device/files with a LiveCD? If so, that is the way I would make a backup.
[08:58] <sylis> Does Rhythm Box sync well with an ipod
[08:59] <FireBad> cooldduuudde: I mean it's like an old crappy TV , where blue is turned up 293403294024903240230493204320%
[08:59] <FireBad> and 0 red
[08:59] <LinuxMint-Cholo_> hey im running linux mint and was wondering since the 'advanced desktop settings' option to opacify windows is not available there is another way?
[08:59] <Sepero> rurouni27: If you suspect that your harddrive is indeed dieing, you do not want to touch it until it is time to make backup.
[09:00] <FireBad> cooldduuudde: I don't see any "q" 's
[09:00] <joaopinto> LinuxMint-Cholo_, we don't support Linux Mint here, please find the appropriate channel :(
[09:00] <FireBad> cooldduuudde: in system -> preferences
[09:00] <LinuxMint-Cholo_> i CANT
[09:00] <LinuxMint-Cholo_> lol
[09:00] <LinuxMint-Cholo_> ok..
[09:00] <sylis> Yes or No to Rhythmbox syncing well with ipods?
[09:01] <sylis> Yes or No to Rhythmbox syncing well with ipods?
[09:01] <DinkyDogg> sylis, it should work (if that's what you want to do), but try amarok instead, it's a better program
[09:02] <cooldduuudde> FireBad: its qt 4 settings in preferences
[09:03] <james296> hey does anyone here use Crunchbang Linux?
[09:03] <corinth> Sepero: I'll let you know if I find anything out.
[09:03] <Sepero> LinuxMint-Cholo_: gnome-appearance-properties
[09:03] <FireBad> cooldduuudde: I just said I don't see a Q listed
[09:03] <Sepero> corinth: okie :)
[09:03] <joaopinto> james296, better ask on #Linux
[09:03] <ActionParsnip> !ot | james296
[09:03] <Mood> is Listen Music Player supposed to work out-of-the-box on a fresh install? or are there settings i need to play with?
[09:04] <james296> but its Ubuntu based lol
[09:04] <FireBad> cooldduuudde: Preferred Applications, then there is RemoteDesktop
[09:04] <corinth> Sepero: Happen to know how I can switch my default file manager from nautilus to PCman?
[09:04] <corinth> ;-)
[09:04] <joaopinto> james296, is not ubuntu, this channel is not for derivates support :)
[09:04] <cooldduuudde> FireBad: no....w8
[09:04] <FireBad> cooldduuudde: ??
[09:05] <james296> join #linux
[09:05] <slytherin> Mood: Considering that Listen uses gstreamer, I suppose you will need to install appropriate gstreamer plugins (if not already done).
[09:05] <Sepero> corinth: How do you normally start your FM?
[09:05] <Mood> slytherin: ah, i didn't realize there were dependencies that may not be installed on standard install. thanks for the heads up. going to google
[09:05] <error404notfound> when I try to upgrade my machine, I get: http://pastebin.com/m2f3664fd
[09:05] <corinth> Either the Places menu, my home launcher on the desktop, or through gnome-do
[09:06] <ActionParsnip> error404notfound: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[09:06] <slytherin> Mood: they are not dependencies. depending on the songs you are trying to play, you may need to install codecs
[09:06] <error404notfound> ActionParsnip: just did that :D
[09:06] <slytherin> !restricted > Mood
[09:06] <slytherin> !restricted | Mood
[09:06] <Sepero> corinth: Well, I guess nautilus comes up when you insert new media. I'm not really sure how to change that.
[09:07] <Mood> slytherin: ah ok. thanks for the pointers
[09:07] <rurouni27> why do i have a partition of type "linux plaintext", does anyone else have one?
[09:07] <rww> !mintsupport | LinuxMint-Cholo_ (for future reference)
[09:08]  * ActionParsnip does the VMware dance :D
[09:08] <Sepero> rurouni27: I've never heard of that.
[09:08] <Mood> slytherin: heh heh, i didn't realize mp3 was a restricted format :-P
[09:08] <rurouni27> run fdisk -l
[09:08] <slytherin> Mood: not many people even know what a restricted format is. :-)
[09:08] <rurouni27> its only a label though
[09:08] <ActionParsnip> rurouni27: that will need sudo
[09:09] <rurouni27> lol im admin
[09:09] <rurouni27> root*!
[09:10] <rurouni27> anyway it came with a default ubuntu install :o
[09:10] <Mood> slytherin: and i didn't realize the restricted format packet was 164 MB :-s
[09:10] <rc10> Squid you in here?
[09:10] <q0_0p> i have a question in gparted in the manage flags section what is lba?
[09:10] <Mood> package*
[09:10] <FireBad> It appears that the blue problem is part of nVidia
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> rurouni27: you shouldnt be
[09:11] <slytherin> Mood: what all packages are you installing?
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> rurouni27: logging in as root significantly cripples security
[09:11] <Sepero> rurouni27: It says "linux plaintext" on your fdisk -l output?
[09:11] <rww> q0_0p: Logical Block Addressing. Most modern partitions are large enough to need it.
[09:11] <Mood> slytherin: ubuntu-restricted-extras... it's > 160 MB :-{
[09:11] <slytherin> Mood: nah, you don't need all that.
[09:11] <rurouni27> ActionParsnip: im in a gentoo live cd and i know what im doing ..
[09:12] <q0_0p> do i need it if i'm making a ubuntu usb boot?
[09:12] <rurouni27> Sepero: yeh
[09:12] <slytherin> Mood: it is also installing sun jre
[09:12] <Mood> slytherin: ack
[09:12] <Sepero> rurouni27: I've never seen that before
[09:12] <ActionParsnip> rurouni27: yeah, running x and web apps as root, real secure
[09:12] <Mood> slytherin: too late... i'm in the midst of installing... i'll have to wait until it finishes before i uninstall it
[09:13] <Mood> messy... :-s
[09:13] <slytherin> Mood: is it installing or downloading only?
[09:13] <rurouni27> ActionParsnip: gentoo doesnt have x default and im not connected to the net on that computer
[09:13] <rww> q0_0p: Use LBA. If it doesn't work (it almost always does), go back and turn it off.
[09:13] <slytherin> Mood: if it is still downloading, you can cancel it.
[09:13] <Sepero> rurouni27: Does cfdisk also show "linux plaintext"?
[09:13] <q0_0p> k
[09:13] <q0_0p> thx
[09:13] <Mood> slytherin: i've got the ncurses sun-java6-jre config page :-(
[09:13] <q0_0p> thx
[09:13] <ActionParsnip> rurouni27: thats fine then, in ubuntu root logons are disuaded
[09:14] <slytherin> Mood: ok, finish that then
[09:14] <rurouni27> Sepero: yeh, its 213 mb :o
[09:14] <rurouni27> ActionParsnip: can you get su in ubuntu now?
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> rurouni27: yes but it doesnt setup the environment correctly, sudo -i  is prefferred
[09:15] <Sepero> rurouni27: Ah, I see it
[09:15] <Sepero> rurouni27: cfdisk shows "linux plaintext" as type 88
[09:15] <cooldduuudde> FireBad: type this in terminal and hit enter qtconfig-qt4
[09:16] <rurouni27> Sepero: :o lol yeh, wat is it for ?
[09:16] <Sepero> I have no idea
[09:16] <FireBad> cooldduuudde not installed
[09:16] <FireBad> it's not installed*
[09:16] <Sepero> rurouni27: But perhaps it's the reason you're not booting up?
[09:16] <Mood> slytherin: ok, i force failed it since i didn't agree with sun's agreement... now i can just sudo apt-uninstall, right?
[09:17] <rurouni27> Sepero: no, i dont think so
[09:17] <FireBad> cooldduuudde: shall I install it
[09:17] <Sepero> rurouni27: Linux partitions are supposed to be #83
[09:18] <slytherin> Mood: yes, apt-get remove
[09:18] <cooldduuudde> FireBad: yeah.
[09:18] <rurouni27> Sepero: :D i can mount / under gentoo
[09:18] <Mood> slytherin: here goes
[09:18] <rurouni27> Sepero: i think i might take what i need and start again
[09:18] <Surlent777> quick random question: I'm trying to batch download Ozy and Millie as a test of wget's power, and I'm getting a 403 forbidden error. Is there anything I can do, or anything I'm likely doing wrong? wget -nd -r -l1 --no-parent -A.gif -A.jpg http://www.ozyandmillie.org/comics/
[09:19] <Sepero> rurouni27: Ok. Also, you can easily change it to #83 under cfdisk by simply changing the "type" of partition.
[09:19] <mchelen> what is the best way to resize partition from command line?
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> Surlent777: if you clikc that hyperlink you get a 403 as well
[09:19] <Ficthe> mchelen, fdisk, or cfdisk
[09:20] <Surlent777> ActionParsnip: Yeah, I noticed that
[09:20] <rurouni27> Sepero: im just gonna delete it and start again
[09:20] <Mood> what should i do if i try removing a package and it fails? http://paste.ubuntu.com/126194/
[09:20] <Sepero> rurouni27: ok, best of luck. :)
[09:20] <rurouni27> ty
[09:20] <Surlent777> ActionParsnip: The comics reside in /comics/amxxxxxxxx.gif etc
[09:20] <rww> Mood: what's the output of sudo apt-get -f install?
[09:20] <Sepero> rurouni27: Remember, separate partition for /home. ;)
[09:21] <Mood> rww: i was scared to try... i'm trying it now
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> Surlent777: guess you gotta see if you can work around it
[09:21] <mchelen> Ficthe, how do you resize with cfdisk?
[09:21] <Mood> rww: it's trying to install sun java jre again
[09:22] <Mood> should i let a package complete the install before trying to remove it?
[09:22] <sophia> Anyone knows a good performance testing tool for mediaplayers?
[09:22] <Ficthe> mchelen, it's actually quite a long-winded and complex process, you best google up to find a resource that offers detailed instructions. and oh, don't forget to back up ;). good luck.
[09:22] <slytherin> Mood: do one thing, sudo apt-get --purge autoremove sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-jre
[09:22] <Surlent777> ActionParsnip: That's kind of what I was thinking. As far as I understand "*.gif" doesn't do much at all using wget, yet google assures me that the -A.gif thing should be the same as /comics/*.gif...I am greatly confused.
[09:23] <Mood> slytherin: should i purge it before i apt-get -f install?
[09:23] <Sepero> sophia: May I inquire why?
[09:23] <mchelen> Ficthe, is there any alternative besides running gparted?
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> Surlent777: try man wget if nobody can advise
[09:23] <slytherin> Mood: yes
[09:23] <Mood> slytherin: ok, here goes
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> Surlent777: its not something ive looked into
[09:23] <Ficthe> mchelen, yes. fdisk and cfdisk are two.
[09:23] <Surlent777> ActionParsnip: I tried the man page but so far have been unable to decypher anything useful
[09:24] <Surlent777> ActionParsnip: I guess I'll go to bed and then make this my life's mission tomorrow morning until I get bored
[09:24] <mchelen> Ficthe, okay so no middle ground
[09:25] <Surlent777> ActionParsnip: But thanks anyway
[09:25] <sophia> Sepero: Its my project, i have to check performance of video rendering process w.r.t graphics library
[09:25] <Mood> slytherin: strange... it seems to be installing some microsoft fonts...
[09:26] <slytherin> Mood: looks like ubuntu-restricted-extras pulls loads of packages. For you just installing gstreamer plugins would have been sufficient.
[09:26] <Mood> slytherin: should i try removing the package ubuntu-restricted-extras again?
[09:26] <sophia> Sepero: I have to check which library gives better performance
[09:26] <hmw> i want data for the "molecule" screen saver, but I remember, getting proteine data base stuff wasnt too easy (i only found one source where you could download one molecule at a time, and they were named after some catalogue, so I couldnt pick the "nice" ones) - can anyone of you feed my screen saver?
[09:26] <slytherin> Mood: nah, let it continue.
[09:28] <Sepero> sophia: Ah, sounds complicated. Personally, I would use only Mplayer, and set it to run at full speed over the multiple libraries with the audio off.
[09:28] <Mood> slytherin: phew! although i removed ubuntu-restricted-extras, i have a nagging feeling in the back of my mind that there's some garbage lying around somewhere, perhaps some runaway daemons... not sure...
[09:28] <Sepero> sophia: And time the results.
[09:28] <Sepero> sophia: Making sure dropping frames was turned off.
[09:28] <slytherin> Mood: no, nothing of that sort
[09:29] <savvas> hmw: you want more molecules for your screensaver? file a feature request at http://bugs.gnome.org
[09:29] <sophia> Sepero: I wanted to go through gnome-mplayer
[09:29] <hmw> savvas: one can put more data into the screen saver, but i tried getting stuff, wasnt very successful.
[09:30] <sophia> Sepero: And problem is there is no benchmark option in gnome-mplayer
[09:30] <Sepero> sophia: ok. I'm very doubtful any benchmarking software exists for that purpose.
[09:30] <Mood> thanks slytherin!
[09:31] <savvas> hmw: if you figure it out, let me know, I'm interested :)
[09:32] <hmw> savvas: youre here under this nick often?
[09:32] <Sepero> sophia: What you're asking is very weird, because a library may be able to run fast, but what good is that if the media is very lightly compressed? There appears to be too many factors.
[09:32] <savvas> hmw: yep, it's registered :)
[09:32] <sophia> Sepero: can you please tell me why we turn off dropping frames?
[09:32] <savvas> hmw: if you can't find me, /msg memoserv savvas yourmessage and I'll read it - thanks by the way!
[09:33] <Sepero> sophia: Because dropping frames causes certain parts of the video to be completely skipped.
[09:33] <hmw> savvas: i noted your name and will tell you, if i get something. I can start trying to find that horrible download page again and figure out, how to put the data into the screen saver. (docs say, its possible)
[09:33] <hmw> My nickname seems to be registered already. How do I find out, if the registrar is still using the nick name?
[09:34] <sophia> Sepero: ok
[09:34] <savvas> hmw: /msg nickserv info hmw
[09:34] <Sepero> sophia: For example, I have the same media in two formats. Same video, but first format is 10MB, second format is 100MB. Which would you guess is going to run faster?
[09:35] <Sepero> sophia: Even if they are both 10MB, one could be lower quality than the other, making a huge difference.
[09:35] <hmw> okay, last seen dec'07... i wont get the ops to unlock it for me :((
[09:37] <Sepero> sophia: I'm not saying it isn't a noble thing to try and benchmark though. I just think that you may be in over your head with this project.
[09:38] <sylis> Is Rhythmbox good at syncing with an ipod
[09:38] <Mood> slytherin: i only installed "gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3" and now Listen works like a charm! thanks!
[09:38] <max82fr> Hi everyone
[09:38] <max82fr> how are u doing?
[09:38] <ziroday> sylis: yes, rhythmbox can sync ipods
[09:39] <suzao> greetz. can anyone please help me with simple solution for getting higher resolution with settings for nvidia driver 177 on card 7600gs
[09:39] <suzao> ?
[09:39] <max82fr> Can anyone tell me if it is possible to install itunes with wine and if it will work with ipod touch??
[09:39] <ziroday> suzao: are you running the nvidia driver?
[09:39] <sophia> Sepero: ok i am bit confused regarding my project.. but any how i have to report performance of different libraries.
[09:39] <DinkyDogg> suzao, what resolutions does it offer?
[09:39] <kr00l> does anyone know of a program that will auto backup files to an external HDD?
[09:39] <sylis> well? Or it just does, I've done a little research and seen a few alternatives, but can't really find a review of sorts for them
[09:39] <ziroday> max82fr: the old versions of itunes work with wine, but why?
[09:40] <ziroday> sylis: well what exactly are you looking for?
well im trying to setup my ipod touch to work with ubuntu but there s no way
[09:40] <ziroday> max82fr: what version of ubuntu?
[09:40] <Sepero> sophia: No offense, but I would select another project. I do not think you are going to get results of any value from gnome-mplayer.
 8.10 i think
[09:41] <sylis> mainly a utility that will allow me to create playlists and will sync with my ipod.  Rhythmbox looks good, but, I haven't been using it for long enought o know if it's better, and I'd rather try and figure that out now before I go and put all the time and energy into it creating playlists etc and then get told there's a better app out there
 sorry got cut off
[09:41] <Sepero> sophia: Acknowledging that you don't know what frame-dropping is, I personally think your experience in this area is much too low.
[09:41] <ziroday> max82fr: right, well wine+itunes won't work
[09:42] <max82fr> what should i d
[09:42] <DinkyDogg> sylis, try amarok
what should i do?
[09:42] <sylis> will do
[09:42] <ziroday> max82fr: one sec
[09:42] <suzao> can anyone please help me with simple solution for getting higher resolution with settings for nvidia driver 177 on card 7600gs
[09:42] <max82fr> k
[09:42] <ziroday> suzao: are you running the nvidia driver?
[09:42] <DinkyDogg> suzao, i already responded to your question. What resolutions is it offering you?
[09:44] <ubp123> why the Rhythmbox being unable to presetting the shoutcast radio at this Unbuntu version.. and why only the ice radio might work well with the streamripper here..i mean the ice radio only but the shoutcast no working in order at ubuntu setting ?
[09:44] <ziroday> max82fr: right, basically unless your touch is jailbroken you can't sync it in ubuntu as the apple has changed the database encryption
[09:44] <sophia> Sepero:  yes i am new to this area since i am a student i need to learn a lot
[09:44] <DinkyDogg> wow, they're encryption the database, ziroday ?
[09:44] <DinkyDogg> that really sucks
[09:45] <DinkyDogg> how completely lame
[09:45] <FloodBot1> DinkyDogg: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:45] <Nazmi> hi

[09:45] <ziroday> DinkyDogg: not really, its more of a checksum type thingy. But basically ipod touch = no workie
[09:45] <sophia> Sepero:  Anyways thanks for your suggestions..
[09:45] <Nazmi> I'm from turkey
[09:45] <Sepero> DinkyDogg: Thank you!
[09:45] <brundy> somebody in french ? Thanks
[09:45] <jimmyspark> Hey can anyone help me - my sound on this desktop has been playing up since i upgraded, i've tried everything, I wanna nuke everything to do with sound and start again. Can anyone help me do that?
[09:46] <DinkyDogg> Sepero, no problem, though i'm not sure how i helped you
[09:46] <Cyclist> does anyone knows of a tabbed dual-paned file manager for Ubuntu 8.10 [even through emulators like Wine {I have tried ''xplorer2'' under Wine but it does not work...}]?
[09:46] <ziroday> !fr | brundy
[09:46] <Sepero> sophia: Yeah, I'm sorry I couldn't give you better news. :\
[09:46] <ubp123> in turkey..most loving the birds like penguins lots lol
[09:46] <ziroday> Cyclist: dolphin works
[09:46] <brundy> merci
[09:46] <Sepero> DinkyDogg: ipod = lame
[09:46] <DinkyDogg> ah
[09:46] <DinkyDogg> lame indeed
[09:46] <Sepero> Somebody had to say it
[09:47] <sophia> Sepero:  :-)
[09:47] <Cyclist> ziroday: is Dolphin the emulator of is it the file manager?
[09:47] <ziroday> Cyclist: err dolphin is a dual paned file manager, whats the emulator for?
[09:47] <jimmyspark> how do I remove alsa, pulse audio and OSS off my system entirely so i can reinstall them all?
[09:47] <Nazmi> 	
[09:47] <Nazmi> you will pardon question
[09:48] <ubp123> hmmm, with your aptitude or apt get remove command doing nothhing ???
[09:48] <Cyclist> ziroday: I mentioned the emulator because it is possible that no such applications currently exist for Ubuntu 8.10 in the repository
[09:48] <jimmyspark> ubp123: i remove them that way but then they are still listed in my sound preferences
[09:49] <ziroday> Cyclist: well there is, dolphin works and I know there is others :)
[09:49] <ubp123> if you can or ,as far as you could watch the file..you can remove with the rm command with your hands or manually i suppose ?
[09:51] <Sepero> jimmyspark: try synaptic. And remember to use the "purge" to wipe the config files too
[09:51] <Cyclist> ziroday: another question: is Dolphin also offering tabs? because I know Nautilus works on a dual pane mode [with tabs], but I would rather not use it
[09:51] <Sepero> jimmyspark: "purge" option, i mean
[09:51] <jimmyspark> cheers Sepero -ill try the purge option
[09:51] <mejobloggs> i've put a floppy in the floppy drive but can't see it anywhere. how do i access it?
[09:51] <ziroday> Cyclist: not sure if dolphin offers tabs sorry, install it and try it out :)
[09:52] <Cyclist> ziroday: thank you
[09:52] <ubp123> using the ubuntu system,,mejobloggs ?
[09:52] <jimmyspark> when i try to remove alsa-utils it also removes gdm?!
[09:53] <ziroday> mejobloggs: take a look in /media and /dev/floopy or /dev/fd0
[09:53] <mejobloggs> yeah ubuntu
[09:53] <slytherin> mejobloggs: floppy module is not loaded by default. try this command - sudo modprobe floppy
[09:53]  * Lazeur_ brb
[09:53] <slytherin> jimmyspark: must be some recursive dependency
[09:53] <jimmyspark> Sepero: any idea why when i remove also-utils it says it will remove gdm too?!
[09:53] <jimmyspark> shall i do it?
[09:54] <jimmyspark> and then reinstall gdm?
[09:54] <Sepero> jimmyspark: dependacies
[09:54] <jimmyspark> here goes nothing
[09:54] <Sepero> jimmyspark: dependencies
[09:54] <rww> mejobloggs: "sudo modprobe floppy" to activate the floppy module. "sudo nano /etc/modules" and add "floppy" at the end to keep it activated.
[09:54] <mivok> when you remove a program with synaptic it shows you the programs are going to be deleted
[09:54] <Sepero> jimmyspark: gdm depends on it for some reason
[09:54] <ubp123> since you would agree to remove gdm..perhaps you can use another kde or alternative session system ???
[09:54] <mejobloggs> ok thanks i can see the floppy now
[09:55] <IdentifyTarget> can someone help me install lirc 0.8.4a using apt-get? I compiled it and installed on my own but it's not working quite right
[09:55] <jimmyspark> ubp123: i don't wanna use kde
[09:55] <ubp123> lol
[09:56] <ubp123> neither.. i am a novice and originally liking gnome lol
[09:56] <ziroday> jimmyspark: alsa-utils in an important part of the system, removing it will probably remove a whole bunch of stuff. Why are you removing it anyway?
[09:56] <jimmyspark> i've done it now
[09:56] <jimmyspark> doing pulse audio too
[09:56] <jimmyspark> my sound is totally messed up on this desktop (my work computer)
[09:57] <ziroday> jimmyspark: so you decided to randomly delete important sound parts
[09:57] <jimmyspark> every morning i come in and i cant play sound, so i have to mess around /sbin/alsa --force-reload etc to get it working
[09:57] <jimmyspark> yeah i wanted to nuke the sound and reinstall it from scratch
[09:57] <jimmyspark> i've tried everything else
[09:57] <ziroday> jimmyspark: I strongly doubt reinstalling the sound system(s) is going to fix your problem.
 sorry got badly cut off
 my XChat Gnome doesn t want to work anymore
[09:58] <jimmyspark> reinstalling it all now
[09:58] <Sepero> jimmyspark: I have the same thing
[09:58] <slytherin> jimmyspark: have you tried changing the sound preferences in System -> Preferences -> Sound?
[09:58] <jimmyspark> im sure it's since upgrading to the latest ubuntu...
[09:58] <Sepero> jimmyspark: But I always leave my pc running
[09:58] <ziroday> max82fr: right, basically unless your touch is jailbroken you can't sync it in ubuntu as apple have changed the database encryption
[09:58] <jimmyspark> i don't have these issues with computers running ibex
[09:58] <jimmyspark> just jaunty
it is already jailbroken
[09:59] <ziroday> jimmyspark: jaunty is #ubuntu+1
[09:59] <ubp123> basically.. you have installed the actual sound cards with your new systems lol
would you please help me going through
[09:59] <Sepero> jimmyspark: I have the problem on Intrepid
[09:59] <slytherin> jimmyspark: are your packages fully updated?
[09:59] <jimmyspark> slytherin: yeah i've tried that, i've tried setting up to use oss, alsa & pulseaudio - this morning the sound control pannel was hanning every time i open it so i just decided enough was enough!
[09:59] <rww> jimmyspark: Jaunty is an unsupported developer release. You should be asking about it in #ubuntu+1, not here.
[09:59] <ziroday> max82fr: there is some great documentation for already jail broken devices at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone
worked that out believe me, but nothing worked
[09:59] <jimmyspark> oops - i mean the problem is on ibex!
looking for some real help
[10:00] <slytherin> jimmyspark: you may want to check if glitch-free is turned off in /etc/pulse/default.pa
[10:00] <slytherin> jimmyspark: check the thread on ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list in last month.
[10:00] <ziroday> max82fr: right, have you installed the ipod-convenience package?
[10:00] <max82fr> yep
yep
[10:01] <ziroday> max82fr: okay, how about gtkpod?
have it too, along with amarok
[10:01] <Sepero> jimmyspark: If it only happens whenever you boot. You could just put a startup script in that reloads alsa for you.
[10:01] <jimmyspark> other guys at work are having sound issues too since upgrading - not as severe as mine but they keep loosing sound playback randomly
[10:01] <ziroday> max82fr: okay, connect it via usb and then open a terminal and run ipod-touch-mount
[10:01] <jimmyspark> flash seems to cripple the sound too
[10:01] <rww> jimmyspark: what's the output of "uname -a"?
[10:02] <ubp123> why the famous amarok needs the ugly stream plugins ? teach me ???
[10:02] <jimmyspark> Sepero: it happens randomly 20 times per day
[10:02] <jimmyspark> Linux jimmywork 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:24:39 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
[10:02] <Sepero> jimmyspark: Then I'd make a shortcut to a reload script on my desktop. :)
[10:02] <hph_guy> how can I redirect the output of a program like wget to a file and make it run in the background?
[10:02] <Sepero> jimmyspark: but yeah, that sucks
[10:03] <slytherin> hph_guy: wget url > output.txt &
[10:03] <rww> ubp123: certain audio formats, including mp3, are restricted by patents and other problematic stuff. the "ugly" plugins package contains files to help media players play those formats.
[10:03] <max82fr> ziroday> it s trying to mount it via wifi as someone tried to help me doing
[10:03] <max82fr> ziroday> don t want that. i want USB
[10:04] <hph_guy> slytherin: that still prints output to stdout as well as to the file
[10:04] <jimmyspark> lol just totally reinstalled still not working....
[10:04] <ziroday> max82fr: err okay, well disable wifi on the ipod then
[10:04] <ubp123> thanks for info, rww, but most geeks.. any formats could be converted to legal acceptable ones without notices ???
[10:04] <max82fr> ziroday> done, do u know what to do to make it work via USB?
[10:05] <ziroday> max82fr: well did you try itunnel?
[10:05] <ziroday> max82fr: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone#Syncing%20via%20Cable
[10:05] <rww> ubp123: no, some can't. Continuing the mp3 example, *all* implementations of mp3 decoding (playing) are covered by various patents, and thus require notice.
[10:05] <max82fr> ziroday> nope. I should maybe say that when i plug it, it puts a camera icon on desktop and starts amarok
[10:05] <Asyed> hello guys , i've installed ubuntu wubui on my pc with windows vista , the installation done on Drive D
[10:06] <max82fr> ziroday> but amarok cant connect to it
[10:06] <rww> ubp123: I think one has the patent fee paid for by some organization, but the point still stands. It's a legal thing, not something we can code around.
[10:06] <koshar2> ubp123 true they can be converted but cannot be supplied on the distro disc as it would infringe with laws in some countries
[10:06] <Asyed> when i pick ubtuntu during booting i got error msg
[10:06] <ziroday> max82fr: take a look at itunnel
[10:06] <Asyed> and cant access it , if the installation done on C  partion its work other partions not
[10:06] <Asyed> any clue ?
[10:06] <ubp123> okie..but to me without notices all mp3 files have been converted to any other mpeg files lol..who accepting instead of me lol
[10:07] <max82fr> ziroday>  don t understand all that honestly. had ubuntu for 3 days
[10:07] <max82fr> ziroday> please help
[10:07] <rww> ubp123: do you speak another language as your main language? I could redirect you to a foreign-language support channel that might be able to explain this a little easier...
[10:07] <ziroday> max82fr: well I can't help you much, don't have an ipod touch sorry.
[10:08] <max82fr> no one has an ipod touch on here??
[10:08] <max82fr> ziroday> on itunnel it explain how to connect it via wifi, not USB
[10:08] <ubp123> no thank you,, because i dont touch any other' s copyrights and not doingwrong at all. lol
[10:08] <Sepero> Asyed: It might be a restriction by the bios. I once had a problem like that on a laptop.
[10:08] <rww> ubp123: okay. Do you still have a question we can help you with, then?
[10:09] <Asyed> Sepero im using laptop too , and how dd you fix it?
[10:09] <Guest56980> how do you find out what kernal you are using?
[10:09] <Sepero> Asyed: Sell the laptop
[10:09] <slytherin> Guest56980: uname -r
[10:09] <ubp123> thanks.. upon going on chatting. if can get addtional questions.. let me ask more to you.. thanks
[10:09] <Asyed> Sepero lol no other options ?
[10:10] <Guest56980> thanks
[10:10] <ubp123> i mean, nope lol
[10:10] <Sepero> Asyed: Unfortunately not. You could stick to running Ubuntu in emulation perhaps.
[10:10] <panesar_sandeep> !aptoncd
[10:10] <Guest56980> is there a way to downgrade the kernal?
[10:10] <Sepero> Asyed: virtualbox or something
[10:10] <Asyed> Sepero  or install it on driver C ,
[10:10] <Sepero> Asyed: yea
[10:11] <panesar_sandeep> is there way to create .iso or some other cd/dvd images of the packages...
[10:11] <Sepero> Asyed: I assumed you wanted it to be dual boot
[10:11] <slytherin> Guest56980: You can install two versions of kernel if that is what you are looking for.
[10:11] <Guest56980> yes
[10:11] <Guest56980> now how can i do that? this is for testing valve server since the latest error
[10:11] <Asyed> Sepero true ,  wana test all before move to ubuntu ,
[10:11] <panesar_sandeep> my dvd-rw is broke at the moment
[10:11] <Guest56980> servers*
[10:11] <panesar_sandeep> is there way to create .iso or some other cd/dvd images of the packages...my dvd-rw is broke at the moment
[10:11] <Sepero> Asyed: ok
[10:12] <panesar_sandeep> !aptoncd
[10:12] <slytherin> panesar_sandeep: what does dvd-rw being broken has to do with creating an iso
[10:12] <koshar2> panesar_sandeep personal repository
[10:13] <Sepero> panesar_sandeep: say what?
[10:13] <panesar_sandeep> slytherin, so that i can create an iso img of the packages and give to my friend via usb pn drv

[10:13] <Sepero> arg
[10:13] <koshar2> panesar_sandeep it need not be an image, just a dir on the usb device is sufficient
[10:13] <Sepero> panesar_sandeep: You want an iso making program?
[10:14] <Guest56980> what was the kernal version before 2.6.27?
[10:14] <remoteCTRL> anyone got experience with setfacl on nfs volumes?

[10:18] <koshar2> Guest56980 may i ask why you beleive you need an earlier kernel
[10:18] <rhythmsoup> max82fr: when you plug in your iPod does it show up on the desktop as mounted?
it shows as a camera
[10:18] <Sepero> mejobloggs: Yes, "IO" error = dead
[10:19] <mejobloggs> :(

[10:19] <rhythmsoup> max82fr: and you want to transfer pictures to / from it? sorry i assumed it was music
everything just like in windows, videos too
[10:19] <Sepero> mejobloggs: I wish I could give you my old ones. I just threw away like 30 yesterday.
[10:20] <Guest56980> so does any one know how i can down grade the kernal?
[10:20] <Sepero> mejobloggs: Most of them never used
[10:20] <Guest56980> using wubi?
[10:20] <mejobloggs> Sepero hah yeah. this was like... the only one in the whole house i could find
 im lost and annoyed really. can t get it to work
[10:21] <rhythmsoup> max82fr: have you tried asking on the ubuntu forums? or searching on there?
[10:21] <koshar2> Guest56980 i dont know what the default kernel version was for the first version of ubuntu that featured wubi but its possable you may not be able to, why do you want an earlier kernel?
i tried everything. it s crazy no one's able to help
[10:22] <ubp123> speaking of down grade.. some of here can down grade to the not xor display..free86 display lol ???
[10:22] <rhythmsoup> max82fr: im not sure how recent the iPod touch is, im not 100% au fait with all of apples products
[10:22] <Guest56980> i installed ubuntu inside windows but i dont know how to downgrade the kernal..
[10:22] <rhythmsoup> max82fr: if its an old device then chance are the is a driver available
[10:22] <max82fr> rhythmsoup> a year old or so
[10:23] <oCean_> Guest56980: Ubuntu works very well with iPods, except the iPod Touch, iPhone, and any other future generation
[10:23] <rhythmsoup> max82fr: if its more recent then usually windows drivers appear first (im speaking very generally here)
[10:23] <oCean_> Guest56980: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPod?action=show&redirect=IPodHowto
[10:23] <max82fr> Does anyone have an IPOD TOUCH in here? Please?

[10:23] <oCean_> Guest56980: sorry max82fr ^^
[10:23] <Guest56980> i asked about how to downgrade the kernal

 what>?
[10:25] <Sepero> max82fr: I'd help if I could. sry
 thanks
[10:26] <max82fr> I can t believe no one has one here!
[10:26] <ubp123> in short, i would do with my unknow usb memory for my linux machine at home
[10:26] <Sepero> Guest56980: Downgrading the kernel is easy
[10:26] <oCean_> max82fr: did you read the article i send -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPod?action=show&redirect=IPodHowto
 yes about 10 000 times
[10:26] <oCean_> max82fr: it's not gonna work
[10:27] <Sepero> Guest56980: Just install the kernel you want, then uninstall all others.
 i don t know what to do
[10:27] <Sepero> Guest56980: and reboot
[10:27] <max82fr> gotta get rid of Ubuntu and go back to windows if nothing works like that
[10:27] <ubp123> lol
[10:28] <mih> problem with cups + kerberos, anyone pls ?
[10:28] <max82fr> help me please people
[10:28] <arvind_khadri> !ask | mih
[10:28] <ubp123> it sounds my unknow cheap usb device is enough anytime at my home use lol
[10:28] <rww> !helpme | max82fr
[10:29] <rhythmsoup> max82fr: thing is though its not really ubuntu's "fault" that iPod touch isnt supported, the vendors should ring-fence in their hardware to certain OSes, but I understand your fustration
[10:29] <rhythmsoup> should = shouldnt
[10:29] <ubp123> but this slow repeated silly questions are precious to go on chatting as a actual communications lol
thanks
[10:30] <arvind_khadri> !ipod | max82fr
[10:30] <rhythmsoup> max82fr: you can run a windows VM on ubuntu, to be honest i still have a couple of windows knocking around the home
[10:30] <max82fr> lol
[10:31] <rhythmsoup> running a whole VM just for one device seems a bit mad though I grant you
[10:31] <Sepero> !ipodtouch
done that but still doesn t work
[10:31] <rhythmsoup> where i work we have to use a cisco IP phone and web conferencing software which only runs on windows
[10:31] <mih> ok, I have ubuntu intrepid, with cups 1.3.8, kerberos joined the AD domain, and an xp mahine from which I want to print to the linux box, where I want to have a release point : domain user from windows should enter the password again, for releasing the job on ubuntu.

[10:53] <ActionParsnip> ronin_: is it installing or downloading?
[10:53] <disappearedng> so I just do a unrar e file.r00 and it will automatically unrar all of it ?
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> disappearedng: yes
[10:53] <disappearedng> ok cause I think one of them is corrupted
[10:53] <ronin_> it was installing... network was disconected after the first tie it failed
[10:53] <Sepero> ZachFlem: gpdf is the default for gnome
[10:53] <ubp123> what's the file for ajusding such inconvinices..for the sake of choice of the right sound card ?
[10:53] <savvas> disappearedng: did you install rar or unrar first?
[10:53] <disappearedng> yeah
[10:53] <disappearedng> it's unraring I am just watining
[10:54] <savvas> ah ok
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> ronin_: ah, if its only downloading you can stop it, the net break may have caused a bad package
[10:54] <CTShadow> savvas: that looks cool, bu can i also block the sites only for certain users?
[10:54] <Sepero> ZachFlem: Or at least I thought it was??
[10:54] <ronin_> i reformated all the partitions on each try must be something weird with the drive or the cd i thinks
[10:54] <[[thufir]]> how do you install sockstat?
[10:54] <oCean_> Sepero: evince is (default reader)
[10:54] <savvas> CTShadow: er.. I think you need dansguardian or squid for that

[10:55] <joerack> is there a Swfobject for ubuntu?
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> !find swf
[10:55] <sprinkmeier_> ronin_, did you run mediacheck?
[10:55] <OrangeKyo> hi, when i start up ubuntu, it does routine check of drive sdb1 and hangs. i have to press esc to make it skip.  there might be something wrong with my filesystem, and i think i should do fsck. but i have to unmount the drive first? how do i do fsck on my linux drive?
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> !info swfobject
[10:55] <ubp123> that dangurdian..is it proxy ?
[10:55] <joerack> !info swfobject
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> OrangeKyo: boot to root recovery partition or run it from live cd
[10:56] <savvas> ubp123: apt-cache show dansguardian
[10:56] <OrangeKyo> ok got it
[10:56] <OrangeKyo> thank you
[10:56] <ubp123> thanks for info, savvas
[10:56] <CTShadow> savvas: is there a good tutorial, how to configure those programs. i have already tried a bit with those, but never acchieved the wished result
[10:56] <apadox> when you live boot ubuntu is it posible to copy some files to ramdisk then to free your cd cdrive so you can  burn cd
[10:56] <ubp123> while the squid was a famous proxy lol
[10:56] <juro> from the command line, how can I find out which process is taking how much memory, sorted by memory usage?
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> ubp123: and snort
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> juro: top
[10:57] <balrog__> is there an easy way to downgrade from ubuntu-desktop to ubuntu-server?
[10:57] <mih> cups + kerberos problem
[10:58] <ubp123> hmmm you are an admin who is using such managiment cute pig software ?? great, ActionParsnip
[10:58] <juro> ActionParsnip, top tells me that over 3GB/4GB of memory is used but the percentages are too low to add up to that
[10:58] <Sepero> balrog__: install ubuntu-server package?
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> ubp123: i dont use it, i just know of it
[10:58] <Guest56980> where can i download kernal 2.6.18?
[10:58] <balrog__> Sepero: does that get rid of ubuntu-desktop?
[10:58] <ubp123> okie ???
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> balrog__: desktop to server isnt really an upgrade or downgrade
[10:58] <vfrc> @ juro: use top or htop in cli to see process mem/cpu use
[10:58] <Sepero> balrog__: uninstall ubuntu-desktop package?
[10:59] <savvas> ubp123, CTShadow: there is also a simple firewall program, check ApplicationS > Add/Remove > search for "Firewall configuration" or simply "firewall" and see what your options are for a nice graphical user interface (GUI) :)
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> !find 2.6.18
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> Guest56980: do you mean 2.6.28?
[11:00] <juro> vfrc, htop looks good - thanx
[11:00] <Guest56980> no
[11:00] <balrog__> ActionParsnip: well, true, but i wanted to say that i wanted to remove ubuntu-desktop and all graphical utilities
[11:00] <Guest56980> i want to test out the valve bug on server using the kernal 2.6.18
[11:00] <ubp123> you know.. before fixing my policy on how to use my ubuntu machine.. i cannot touch any my firewall setting.. because it may cause any addtional pandora ouches lol
[11:01] <_ruben> www.kernel.org
[11:01] <Guest56980> !lol
[11:01] <balrog__> Sepero: i did that and when i try to autoclean with synaptic, it warns me that i might my system unusable.  does that warning just mean im going to lose the GUI?  i think it tries to remove stuff like acpi...

[11:02] <Sepero> balrog__: I suggest startin with simple stuff like uninstall xserver
[11:02] <joerack> is there anything "like" swfobject for ubuntu?
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> joerack: whats it do
[11:03] <apadox> when you live boot ubuntu is it posible to copy some files to ramdisk then to free your cd cdrive so you can  burn cd
[11:03] <vfrc> does anyone know of a good *batch* mkv to avi converter similar to windows alltoavi?
[11:03] <joerack> ActionParsnip: it embeds swf in blogs like wordpress
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> vfrc: make a script
[11:03] <Stevethepirate> Good program to record whats happening on the screen into a video?
[11:03] <BobSapp> apadox: I dont think so, since alot of the programs would probably run from the cdrom
[11:04] <Stevethepirate> I recall a program called screencast a while back.
[11:04] <Stevethepirate> But i'd prefer something in the repos
[11:04] <kyledr> how do i get video output to work with mplayer to a projector or tv? normal stuff works but not mplayer or vlc or stuff like that
[11:04] <Sepero> vfrc: linux users take a single commands and turn them into scripts
[11:05] <oCean_> Stevethepirate: recordmydesktop
[11:05] <BobSapp> apadox: try something like puppy linux, that boots from the cd and exists only in ram, so you can then burn cds or do whatever you like
[11:05] <apadox> thx BobSapp
[11:05] <nijan> Excuse me, how to auto-login using xfce Dm (gdm I suppose)
[11:05] <Stevethepirate> oCean_: LOL, ta.
[11:05] <ubp123> could you install mplayer at ubuntu without touching other audio systems, Kyledr ?
[11:05] <Sepero> vfrc: Microsoft users need special programs for many things that linux users normally create a simple script for.
[11:05] <oCean_> Stevethepirate: what's in a name, right? :p
[11:05] <Stevethepirate> Hell yeah.

[11:06] <kyledr> ubp123: what?
[11:06] <balrog__> Sepero: but, xserver-input-kbd is important, right?
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> vfrc: use one of those lines in conjunction with find -exec, hugely powerful
[11:06] <Sepero> balrog__: Not if your not going to be using xwindows
[11:06] <ubp123> i has asked you if you can finish your installing mplayer at ubuntu machine without any problem
[11:06] <Sepero> balrog__: You only need that package for a gui
[11:07] <juro> vfrc, thanks - htop does the trick
[11:07] <vfrc> Action & sepero: i have tried making a script but keep hitting walls. i cannot get mencoder to recognise mkv's. when trying a script for ffmpeg i cant get it to select subtitles in the mkv

[11:07] <kyledr> ubp123: i successfully installed mplayer. it works fine, but not to a projector
[11:07] <vfrc> juro: np
[11:07] <balrog__> Sepero: okay, thanks!
[11:07] <britmap> apadox: or http://insert.cd is another small linux - use the "toram" boot option to free up the cd drive (or make a USB boot stick!)
[11:07] <balrog__> ActionParsnip: thanks for your help and the link
[11:08] <vfrc> Action: thanks ill give some of those a go
[11:08] <ubp123> thanks for info, and on the projector...unable to guess any regardign ubuntu matter
[11:08] <Sepero> vfrc: Converting videos can be a challenge, it is true.
[11:09] <Sepero> vfrc: Lemme have a look at the manpage real quick. I'm pretty familiar with mplayer
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> vfrc: you'll want something like: fin . -name "*.mkv" -exec <stuff> \;
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> vfrc: use {} to signify the found file
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> vfrc: fin == find (typo)

[11:11] <Guest84547> how do i change the kernal version using windows boot loader? im using windows vista boot loader
[11:11] <apadox> my notebook doesnt allow to boot from usb so is it possible to install ubuntu on usb but use live cd to mount usb than boot from it
[11:11] <Chousuke> vfrc: remember to wrap the {} in quotes so it won't break if it has spaces
[11:11] <histo> Guest84547: does the windows boot loader point to grub?
[11:11] <Guest84547> no no i installed ubuntu inside windows
[11:12] <iceman_> How can I play 'gnome-chess' online?
[11:12] <Guest84547> using windows xp boot loader i could get to the option but i cant now
[11:12] <histo> Guest84547: so how do you boot linux then?
[11:12] <Sepero> vfrc: What command did you use with mencoder?
[11:12] <Guest84547> it appears in windows boot loader..
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> Guest84547: i'd use grub instead as its waaaaay more flexible than ntldr
[11:12] <BrixSat> hello
[11:12] <histo> Guest84547: well after its selected it should say something along the lines of hit esc for grub menu
[11:12] <vfrc> Action: thanks for the help. im still somewhat new to bash scripting so ill have a read around and find how to implement ur solution

[11:15] <apadox> ActionParsnip: i know that, i was asking if I can boot from cd just to mount that usb and continue booting from there without need for usb because my notebook doesn-t support booting from usb
[11:16] <BobSapp> BrixSat: Did you forget to add the "h" to your nick?
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> apadox:  dont believe so, what netbook / laptop is it?
[11:16] <Sepero> vfrc: Scripting is the easy part, I can do that for you. Do you have the code to convert 1 video from mkv to avi?

[11:20] <Sepero> Azzco: You could uninstall all pulseaudio packages. But I would recommend you record which ones you remove, just in case.
[11:20] <ghm33> what do i check if my ubuntu 8.10 laptop networking not connecting to any network incldg wifi?
[11:20] <ghm33> i have tried starting / stopping / restarting networking
[11:20] <ubp123> when your using some other audio like Rhythmnboix (?) your pulseaudio file might created at /tmp ????
[11:21] <Azzco> Sepero, is there some way to duplicate output between devices with alsa then? (Would like to hear amarok for example in both headset and normal device and that was possible with PA yesterday when headset was recognized.)
[11:21] <BrixSat> another question! i have to make sudo modprobe ath5k  && sudo athload ath5k every time i need wifi can i automate it?
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> apadox: apparently, as soon as you turn the device on hold down f12 and you may be able to choose usb to boot

[11:24] <vfrc> Sepero: those are the options i have been using in conjunction with the preceding ffmpeg infile.mkv outfile.avi
[11:24] <ghm33> ActionParsnip, internal
[11:24] <Sepero> vfrc: I assume you tried the option "-scodec copy"?
[11:24] <BrixSat> ghm33:  what do you want is to put your wifi card to work?
[11:24] <Sepero> vfrc: To copy the subtitles?
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> ghm33: lspci will identify it for oyu
[11:24] <ghm33> BrixSat, wifi and lan not working
[11:24] <Azzco> arvind_khadri, yeah I know. But I can't find any other way to start my games with my headset as output
[11:25] <arvind_khadri> Azzco, 8.10 ?
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> ghm33: if you get a result from: sudo iwlist scan then its installed ok. if no devices support scanning you will need to find out how to driver it up
[11:25] <BrixSat> ghm33:  do youy have enabled restricted drivers?
[11:25] <vfrc> Sepero: yeah but from my understanding, scodec is asking for a subtitle file as opposed to grabbing a subtitle stream from the mkv
[11:25] <Azzco> arvind_khadri, yupp
[11:25] <ghm33> ActionParsnip, my laptop is msi wind u100x, used to connect fine lan and wifi, just stopped for no apparent reason
[11:25] <arvind_khadri> Azzco, my headset didnt work with pulse i shifted to alsa.... if you want you can try my blog on how to setup alsa...
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> ghm33: then read through: dmesg | less
[11:26] <ghm33> ActionParsnip, done, what am i looking for
[11:26] <Sepero> vfrc: If the mkv has the subtitles in it, then they should be copied with the option "-scodec copy".
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> ghm33: its a big read but will identify our hardware coming up and getting installed, if you recently did a kernel upgrade then this could be the cause
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> ghm33: just any errors or warnings
[11:26] <Azzco> arvind_khadri, itech7?
[11:26] <BrixSat> i have to run sudo modprobe ath5k  && sudo athload ath5k to get wifi every time, can i automate it?
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: sure, whack it i a script
[11:27] <ubp123> as far as using Linux.. alsa sound system is best subject to disavailable the soundcard manufacturers's original dirvers ??
[11:27] <arvind_khadri> Azzco, whats that?
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: top line should be: #!/bin/sh
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: second line is your command you just gave
[11:27] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip:  and what about the sudo comands? will it accetp?
[11:28] <CTShadow> how can i block all web sites except a few on a per-user base? the server is an ltsp-server
[11:28] <Azzco> arvind_khadri, just googled arvind blog ubuntu. Guess that was not it, can you link me to the blog you mentioned?
[11:28] <Sepero> vfrc: The -scodec argument takes a codec name, not a file.
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: save the file and chmod +x it
[11:28] <vfrc> Sepero: do you think a subtitle stream can be specified in the case where there are multiple streams or the default is 0?
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: if you run sudo <script name> it will authorise the rest
[11:28] <BobSapp> if you call sudo for the script it should be ok shouldnt it?
[11:28] <ghm33> ActionParsnip, am reading thru it but youre right about being a long read
[11:28] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip:  but i wanted it automated :D
[11:28] <ghm33> ActionParsnip, cant really see anything peculiar
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> ghm33: it will be, just skim
[11:28] <Daft_Punk> if i want to block a file type from ever coming to my system via IM, irc, website or whatever, (say .exe file) how could I do that?
[11:28] <arvind_khadri> Azzco, http://techietipsandtricks.blogspot.com/2009/02/reverting-to-alsa-in-ubuntu-810.html
[11:28] <ghm33> ActionParsnip, ok
[11:28] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip:  like pc start and script automaticaly run
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: when should it automatically happen?
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> !bum
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> !startup
[11:29] <oCean_> BrixSat: put the command in /etc/rc.local
[11:29] <Sepero> vfrc: I would try your normal command, and just add "-scodec copy" into it.
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: if they are in the /etc/rc.local they will be ran as root
[11:29] <Sepero> vfrc: trial and error
[11:29] <BrixSat> nice ;D
[11:29] <arvind_khadri> oCean_, no thats a lazy hack BrixSat
[11:30] <BrixSat> arvind_khadri:  why?
[11:30] <vfrc> Sepero: true true. ill give scodec copy a try and if it works post a working script in the ubuntu forums. thanks for the help
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> arvind_khadri: life is a sequence of hacks
[11:31] <Sepero> vfrc: ok
[11:31] <RusHh> hello
[11:31] <arvind_khadri> BrixSat, as rc.local is run as root and for modules you have /etc/modules
[11:31] <BrixSat> so where should i put it?
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> arvind_khadri: it needs removing then reinstalling
[11:31] <RusHh> this channel only english discussion ?
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> arvind_khadri: not ust installing
[11:31] <BrixSat> i have in rc.local i hope it runs :+
[11:31] <arvind_khadri> ActionParsnip, one can be blacklisted...
[11:31] <quibbler> RusHh: yes
[11:32] <RusHh> emm how I can disable AWN..

[11:33] <talto1> tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> RusHh: to disable awn, remove it from wherever you added it to make it run
[11:33] <talto1> but its exits
[11:33] <ghm33> ActionParsnip, cant really see anything peculiar re my dmesg | less
[11:34] <ghm33> ActionParsnip, or at least anything to do with networking
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> RusHh: if you ant it to go away for now just close it or kill its process
[11:34] <Azzco> arvind_khadri, that helped a bit. now I've got my headset set as default device. but I guess I can allways just switch back default, reload alsa and start when I want to use my other device. :)
[11:34] <futurama140> I want to switch back to windows but my bios no longer detects my CD drives, can someone help me fix that?
[11:34] <Sepero> CTShadow: If the users have any intelligence, they will just circumvent it anyway.
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> ghm33: ok then try: sudo lshw -C network
[11:34] <CTShadow> BrixSat: my boss said he would like to have a solution like iptables or someting like that. i have already suggested that plugin
[11:34] <C-S-B> futurama140, switch back to what?
[11:34] <futurama140> windows
[11:34] <futurama140> xp
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> CTShadow: i dont think iptables will look at the user accessing
[11:35] <arvind_khadri> Azzco, cool ... i never tried switching back.. i hate pulseaudio
[11:35] <ghm33> ActionParsnip, done, what is this?
[11:35] <C-S-B> i heard you but why?
[11:35] <C-S-B> futurama140, check your boot order in the bios
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> futurama140: its not an ubuntu problem then is it
[11:35] <simplexio> futurama140: if bios dosent detect cdrom drive, chech your cables (and bios if cdrom is disabled)
[11:35] <CTShadow> Sepero: right, that would be the next point
[11:35] <oCean_> talto1: put the --exclude= at end of command
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> !ot | futurama140

[11:37] <ActionParsnip> CTShadow: yeah just noticed, nice guide though
[11:37] <oCean_> vak: dhclient

[11:38] <ActionParsnip> ghm33: ok what does lspci say about one of your adapters, what make / model is the chip controlling it
[11:38] <CTShadow> ActionParsnip: could you recommend a good iptables tutorial? im not very good there

[11:39] <ghm33> ActionParsnip, the ethernet / networking controller? its a realtek semiconductor rtl8101e
[11:39] <vak> oCean_: Sepero would it be the right entry: "/usr/sbin/dhcdbd --system" in process list?

[11:40] <Sepero> vak: I can't say anything about what should be done because I don't know what the goal is.
[11:40] <oCean_> vak: I have dhclient
[11:40] <CTShadow> ActionParsnip: thanks! have you already tried the gui applications?
[11:40] <simplexio> futurama140: ? probably bios sees it because it works in linux,check boot order etc..

[11:42] <RusHh> awn was disabled, but standart panel not found ^_^
[11:42] <Sepero> vak: You want to change your DNS servers?
[11:42] <RusHh> It`s magic..
[11:42] <oCean_> vak: dhcdbd provides a D-Bus interface to dhclient, the DHCP client from ISC, so applications such as NetworkManager can query and control dhclient.
[11:42] <RusHh> where is standart pannel (((
[11:42] <H3l1c0pt3r> ok im using irssi for my irc client and i was wondering if there is an option (i couldnt find it in man) to align the names in a column so the typed text doesnt go under peoples nick names in chat, as well as everything starting at the same tabbed line (so its not so confusing to read)
[11:43] <oCean_> vak: dhclient should be running though.
[11:43] <arvind_khadri> Azzco, ???
[11:43] <quibbler> RusHh: you have a panel on top of your screen?
[11:43] <Azzco> arvind_khadri, I will, just tried out something :)
[11:44] <arvind_khadri> Azzco, ok thanks :)

[11:44] <futurama140> simplexio: i have four different cd drives and several sets of cables ive tried, yet my bios says that there is no cd drive connected, but ubuntu sees and uses the drives just fine, ive tried the drives in various combinations too
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> futurama140: have you changed the master / slave jumpers on any of them
[11:45] <vak> Sepero: No. I just would like to figure out where the problem is. First I'd like to figure out which DNS-resolving basis has my Ubuntu-box ;)
[11:45] <vak> oCean_: so, would it be right to say it does the bind9's job? (bind9 doesnt seem to be running on my box, although dnsutils are installed)
[11:45] <futurama140> actionparsnip: no i havent
[11:45] <simplexio> futurama140: strange problem...
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> futurama140: if they are PATA you will need one master and one slave on each controller
[11:46] <ghm33> ActionParsnip, how do i boot using recovery mode? it suggest i do that
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> futurama140: make sure each has power
[11:46] <adantan_alex> hey can i use a centOS kernal for ubuntu?
[11:46] <vak> oCean_: how to do it? could I just restart some service?
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> ghm33: reboot pc, start pressing ESC, grub menu will show up and you can select recovery mode for your kerne
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> l
[11:46] <quibbler> RusHh: alt+F2  gnome-panel
[11:46]  * vak is fearing that daemon restart will kill next remote access even...
[11:46] <futurama140> actionparsnip: they dont have jumpers actually
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> futurama140: try just having one CD drive for now, then add the others in slowly
[11:47] <Sepero> vak: I think he means disconnect/reconnect to the internet
[11:47] <adantan_alex> hey can i use a centOS kernal for ubuntu?
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> futurama140: are they PATA?
[11:47] <ghm33> ActionParsnip, thanks
[11:47] <oCean_> vak: you do have remote access? So the box has a valid ip?
[11:47] <vak> oCean_: yes
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> adantan_alex: no as the centos kernel is compiled for centos
[11:47] <futurama140> no, SATA
[11:47] <rww> adantan_alex: No. If you somehow manage to do it anyway, it'll probably break, cause problems, and not be supported by us or centos anyway.
[11:47] <futurama140> erm, wait, yes they are PATA
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> futurama140: then i garuntee they will have a jumper on the back
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> futurama140: to set master or slave
[11:48] <adantan_alex> ok
[11:48] <oCean_> vak: hmmm. I was about to suggest restart networking, but that is not an option since you have remote access... Indeed you *may* loose access completely
[11:48] <adantan_alex> is there a 2.6.18 for ubuntu?
[11:48] <futurama140> ok currently i have one drive in, i can see the jumper clearly and it is in the master position
[11:49] <vak> oCean_, Sepero: may restarting of  /etc/init.d/dhcdbd help?
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> futurama140: on one ribbon you have a master and a slave, if you have 2 masters or 2 slaves on a ribbon they will conflict and you wont see either
[11:49] <vak> oCean_, Sepero: or it is also could kill remote access?
[11:49] <rww> adantan_alex: not in any supported releases of Ubuntu, no. That kernel's pretty dang old.
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> futurama140: come to #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:49] <Sepero> vak: Just about anything you do will kill remote access.

[11:55] <ghm33> ActionParsnip, hi still no network for me
[11:56] <oCean_> vak: you could try /etc/init.d/network (or networking, whatever it's called) with start option (not stop) and see if that *maybe* renews the dhcp lease. But still a bit tricky if your only access is remote

[11:57] <ghm33> ActionParsnip, any idea how to get that to happen ?
[11:57] <oCean_> Sepero: vak you just want to try 'start' to see if (any) (not) running dhcp client process renews the lease
[11:58] <Sepero> oCean_: I still say just reboot. Seems like a fluke to me.

[12:03] <Riya_> i install windows in c drive . but now i cant getting it in boot . bocz menu.list have some error how can i overcome this error .how will i get my windows as default boot loader
[12:03] <rww> max82fr: You realize that Apple doesn't want the iPod Touch to work with Linux, right? That it used to work and now does not? That it's not due to laziness on our part or something? As a factoid I sent you earlier says, "Answers are not always available."
[12:03] <Psykus> i have tried multiple burns so i've ruled out some sort of media error, even past ubuntu versions I have do the same thing on this system
[12:04] <Sepero> vak: Screwing around with any of that stuff risks you permanently losing your connection. Unless you're not worried about that, I would just reboot the box.
[12:04] <max82fr> rww> so shall i just bin it? is that ur answer?
[12:04] <vak> oCean_, Sepero:  i have a KVM though...
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> ghm33: keep websearching dude, you know te chip so you can research good
[12:04] <dziulia> hi there
[12:04] <oCean_> vak: oooooh :)
[12:05] <Sepero> !kvm
[12:05] <vak> no
[12:05] <vak> not this one
[12:05] <glitsj16> glandon: have you checked your mixer settings for mic capture ?
[12:05] <Riya_> plz help meeeee !!!      i install windows in c drive . but now i cant getting it in boot . bocz menu.list have some error how can i overcome this error .how will i get my windows as default boot loader

[12:06] <oCean_> max82fr: ask Apply why your precious product won't work with your favorite OS
[12:06] <Sepero> vak: If you have a remote system that you can't reboot, you were screwed long before this problem came up.
[12:06] <rww> max82fr: Go find some operating system that your $200 shiny is allowed to work on, and use that. It's really not our fault that your bought a locked-down product.
[12:07] <Psykus> no ideas on my problem? dell optiplex systems don't like ubuntu?
[12:07] <vak> Sepero:  I am not sure if understand your point...
[12:07] <vak> Sepero: I just have no needs to reboot he machine since year...
[12:07] <glandon> does anyone care about using a microphone on linux
[12:08] <glitsj16> glandon: did you configure your mixer settings correctly ?
[12:08] <vak> Sepero: the DNS trouble came just today. I think your an oCean_'s idea about leases could be right.
[12:08] <Psykus> i've reset the bios settings to factory defaults, same deal
[12:08] <Sepero> vak: Well, now you do have need. Apparently you've had a year to setup reboot capabilities in the system, and you didn't. You screwed yourself.
[12:09] <Sepero> vak: No system runs infinitely without problems.
[12:09] <glandon> no clue all i know is that i can hear my mic on my speakers but it doesnt capture anything, i have tried playing with the mixer settings for the past two days with no luck
[12:09] <glitsj16> glandon: do you have gnome-volume-control installed ?
[12:10] <vak> Sepero: you mis-understood me. Reboot capabilities ARE available. I just do not want to get into situation when after reboot I have even more majour trouble then "DNS doesn't respond"
[12:10] <vak> *than
[12:12] <vak> I just would like to figure out before restart what s going on...
[12:12] <Sepero> vak: The DNS thing will likely resolve itself upon reboot. If you have other problems arise, it doesn't make sense to delay addressing them anyway.
[12:12] <vak> OK
[12:13] <vak> you have convinced me. im rebooting
[12:13] <vak> ;)
[12:13] <oCean_> vak: renewing the lease will get you at a point, same as networking restart, that for a very short period there is no network at all. If you can connect the box trhough kvm or other means.. then you're in a better shape
[12:13] <Sepero> vak: good luck
[12:14]  * vak looks for a big gun and to big silver bullets just for a case if server doesn't get up :)

[12:28] <MenZa> Have you tried the ath5k driver?
[12:28] <suzao> sepero: ok thanks.
[12:28] <linduxed> sayhello: do you have the latest kernel?
[12:28] <suzao> :-) ;-)
[12:28] <sayhello> manZa: i thought it was the ath9k driver
[12:28] <sayhello> i have kernel 2.6.27 -11
[12:28] <MenZa> sayhello: http://madwifi-project.org/wiki/About/ath5k
[12:28] <MenZa> sayhello: I'm not sure if it's what you want, but check it out
[12:28] <sayhello> thanks, i'll try that
[12:28] <elad`> How do I permanently export AL_DIR="somedir"?
[12:29] <sayhello> okay, thanks
[12:29] <savvas> Riya: have  you tried with super grub disk?
[12:29] <MenZa> sayhello: it works excellently on my ar242x
[12:29] <oCean_> elad`: put in in your ~/.profile
[12:29] <elad`> (And if that can work from anywhere, not just from within the bash shell, that would just be super.)
[12:29] <suzao> does anyone know what i edit to get 1280x1024 (offhand)
[12:30] <elad`> oCean_, exactly what should the line look like? The other lines in that file are odd.
[12:31] <savvas> Riya: download the cdrom version of super grub disk and boot using the cd. it will attempt to help you fix it :) http://www.supergrubdisk.org/index.php?pid=5
[12:32] <elad`> Help?
[12:32] <MenZa> elad`: exactly like what you typed.
[12:32] <elad`> Just that line? Can't I remove the word "export"?
[12:33] <sayhello> menZa: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath5k#Enablingath5k is this something to do with the terminal? I can't figure out how I would implement the instructions
[12:33] <sayhello> sorry, i'm a newbie
[12:33] <MenZa> echo "export AL_DIR=\"somedir\" | tee -a ~/.profile
[12:33] <MenZa> err, add a " to that after the \"
[12:34] <elad`> So I do need the word "export". OK. Now, when is that file loaded?
[12:34] <MenZa> elad`: Every time you login, iirc.
[12:34] <Leonheart> a question not about ubuntu, but maybe i can find some clue here :P
[12:35] <elad`> How do I reload it without logging out and in again?
[12:35] <Leonheart> @ someone can help about JPEG spatial sampling
[12:35] <MenZa> Leonheart: If it's not about Ubuntu, try #ubuntu-offtopic - this channel is for support only, due to the massive quantity of support requests.
[12:35] <MenZa> elad`: You can't

[12:35] <Guest95546> Hello all. After installing miro it got assosiated with .torrent files. Now when i try to open a torrent file I get the choices of either miro or firefox. How can I get torrents assosiated with transmissionbt again?
[12:35] <Leonheart> free image type...
[12:35] <MenZa> Leonheart: Try -offtopic ; you'll most likely have more luck there
[12:36] <Leonheart> MenZa:OK
[12:37] <Leonheart>  wht the room ? #ubuntu-off....???
[12:38] <Lezeur> hmm
[12:39] <Blank`laptop> bleh... xubuntu + wine + utorrent seems to be a bad idea
[12:40] <scunizi_> why bother with utorrent in wine while there are lots of native clients?
[12:40] <Psykus> i liked rtorrent when I used ubuntu
[12:40] <mneptok> scunizi_: amen
[12:40] <mneptok> scunizi_: i'd even go so far as to say "better"
[12:41] <scunizi_> I agree mneptok
[12:41] <Psykus> utorrent is :D though
[12:41] <Blank`laptop> scunizi_: private torrent sites
[12:41] <Blank`laptop> >.<
[12:41] <MenZa> I like deluge. It's a lot like µTorrent.
[12:41] <mneptok> MenZa: *hardly*
[12:41] <mneptok> MenZa: (which is why i use it) ;)
[12:41] <MenZa> Same basic layout, a lot of the same options...
[12:42] <rhsanbor1> Can anyone recommend the best filesystem to get the most performance out of Samba? I currently have an external hard drive to hold music shares for the house and my laptop backups and it's so slow as to be unusable for that purpose (4.4Mb/s)
[12:42] <mneptok> MenZa: a headless torrent daemon process connected to a local GTK UI is something uTorrent only dreams about. ;)
[12:42] <ziroday> Blank`laptop: you can use vuze, that should support everything and an awful lot more then you need.
[12:42] <rhsanbor1> It's going over wireless, but good signals all around, theoretical 54Mb/s, should get at least 20-40Mb/s
[12:42] <MenZa> Well yes, mneptok. I mean from a usability point-of-view.
[12:42] <BernieMadoff> Guys I have a Question
[12:43] <BernieMadoff> Question: how can i copy paste from ubuntu to windows
[12:43] <mneptok> rhsanbor1: have you tested with an actual cable?
[12:43] <ziroday> rhsanbor1: so the server is connected via wireless to the router to the wireless computer?
[12:43] <MenZa> BernieMadoff: What do you mean?
[12:43] <ziroday> mneptok: bet me to it :(
[12:43] <BernieMadoff> Question: how can i copy paste from ubuntu to windows, i got irc on ubuntu, i want to copy and paste into windows
[12:43] <rhsanbor1> Wireless on both ends, no, I haven't done it over the wire... <-- dreading the idea.
[12:44] <ziroday> rhsanbor1: try wire, it will probably be an awful lot faster :)
[12:44] <rhsanbor1> I suppose I can take them off the main network to test it. Router is at the other end of the house.
[12:44] <MenZa> BernieMadoff: Windows where? A different computer? Another partition?
[12:44] <scunizi_> mneptok: ziroday also for rhsanbor1 's benefit.. isn't samba running sambafs most of the time?
[12:44] <BernieMadoff> MenZa, yes, windows on different pc
[12:44] <ziroday> Scunizi: no, smbfs is what you mount on your computer to access the samba share (well its one of the ways)
[12:44] <C-S-B> try rdesktop
[12:44] <scunizi_> k
[12:44] <C-S-B> and remote to the PC
[12:45] <Myrtti> BernieMadoff: use pastebin
[12:45] <rhsanbor1> I'm currently running it as ext3, I don't like ntfs-3g because it doesn't handle failures well.
[12:45] <mneptok> rhsanbor1: i doubt the local fs is the cause of the performance problem.
[12:46] <Riya> what is airmom-ng
[12:46] <ziroday> Riya: it is a tool to put your wireless card into monitor mode
[12:46] <C-S-B> its part of the aircrack suite
[12:46] <Riya> what is airmon-ng ?
[12:46] <rhsanbor1> mneptok: good deal. I'll try it over the wire. thanks for the help.
[12:46] <mneptok> Riya: a question so nice you asked it twice.

[12:48] <BernieMadoff> rephrasing my Question: is there any software I can use to control both ubuntu and windows from one mouse?
[12:48] <ziroday> elad`: rm -r <dir>
[12:48] <elad`> "Couldn't delete file: Failure"
[12:49] <elad`> Couldn't stat remote file: No such file or directory
[12:49] <elad`> Removing /home/root/-r

[12:49] <ziroday> elad`: what folder are you trying to remove?
[12:50] <elad`> zzz
[12:51] <elad`> (That's the name of the folder.)
[12:51] <scunizi_> BernieMadoff: are you running one of them in a vm?
[12:51] <BernieMadoff> no
[12:51] <BernieMadoff> different
[12:51] <C-S-B> BernieMadoff, you can either remote to the windows pc and paste between them or use a kde switch
[12:51] <scunizi_> ktm switch?
[12:51] <C-S-B> kvm
[12:51] <C-S-B> oops
[12:51] <BernieMadoff> kvm software based?
[12:51] <glitsj16> BernieMadoff: have you tried using synergy yet ?
[12:52] <BernieMadoff> no
[12:52] <scunizi_> I knew it was something like that
[12:52] <BernieMadoff> nothing yet
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> hey all
[12:52] <glitsj16> BernieMadoff: http://www.pagkaon.com/kaon/blog/2008/05/05/synergy-share-your-keyboard-and-mouse-on-a-windows-machine-in-ubuntu/
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> is there a java ssh server I can run so users do not have to download putty etcand can ssh via a web page?
[12:53] <scunizi_> werdnum: what version of ubuntu?
[12:53] <elad`> What's the command for deleting a given dir, and all its contents, from an SFTP server?
[12:53] <elad`> Say the server is username:password@1.1.1.1
[12:54] <BernieMadoff> glitsj16 thanks!
[12:54] <mneptok> elad`: if you have SFTP you probably have ssh. just use the shell.
[12:54] <suzao> any simple solution to get resolution?
[12:54] <scunizi_> elad`: why use sftp to do it.. log in with ssh
[12:54] <elad`> I'm writing a script to update the files on a robot.
[12:54] <glitsj16> BernieMadoff: you're welcome, synergy works just fine .. goodluck with it
[12:54] <BernieMadoff> yeah
[12:54] <BernieMadoff> i will try it now
[12:54] <Riya> ones i reinstall windows how can i install grub
[12:55] <BernieMadoff> appreciate your help
[12:55] <elad`> I want the script to delete all of the files currently on a certain dir, and replace them with the new ones.
[12:55] <elad`> So, help?
[12:55] <mneptok> elad`: run a cron job on the local host to move things.
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> !grub | riya
[12:55] <scunizi_> mneptok: maybe he's looking for the correct syntax to put in the script
[12:56] <elad`> Scunizi, I am.
[12:56] <scunizi_> It's all in how the question is phrased :)
[12:56] <mneptok> elad`: the SFTP syntax is the same as FTP
[12:56] <elad`> sftp "rm -r /home/root/zzz/" -P username:password@1.1.1.1
[12:56] <elad`> Or something?
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> elad`: rmdir
[12:57] <mneptok> elad`: rm -r is shell.

[13:06] <vladuz976> that was helpful

[13:07] <vladuz976> could someone do a quick apt-cache search monodevelop and confim the version?

[13:09] <mneptok> vladuz976: the latest packages on the developer site will not tell you what to expect in Ubuntu's repos.
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> clifu: boot to root recovery console and run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[13:09] <Pici> !latst
[13:09] <vladuz976> mneptok: oh wait, that was mono1.9 not monodevelop
[13:09] <vladuz976> how risky is jaunty at this time?
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> vladuz976: i only know what ubottu knows in this case
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> vladuz976: go ask in #ubuntu+1
[13:10] <mneptok> vladuz976: what do you *need* in this newer package?
[13:10] <vladuz976> good idea ActionParsnip
[13:10] <vladuz976> mneptok: well, it has code completion for one thing
[13:10] <clifu> ActionParsnip: won't work; it hangs.
[13:10] <mneptok> vladuz976: "This new feature is so imprtant to my workflow I am willing to risk the stability and usability of my system." true?
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> clifu: reboot, press esc to get the grub menu and select recovery mode
[13:10] <vladuz976> mneptok: no, that's why I asked
[13:11] <mneptok> vladuz976: so stick with Intrepid :)
[13:11] <mneptok> vladuz976: and check backports
[13:11] <vladuz976> mneptok: probably will
[13:11] <vladuz976> mneptok: oh ok
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> clifu: you can then select root console
[13:11] <scunizi_> ActionParsnip: Ajaxterm looks to be written in Python on the server side and Javascript o nthe client.  Runs as a daemon w/ mod_proxy and is gpl'd I think
[13:11] <vladuz976> sorry, just recently switched to ubuntu mneptok
[13:11] <vladuz976> mneptok: didn't know about that
[13:11] <mneptok> vladuz976: and you're apologizing for that?
[13:11] <vladuz976> mneptok: will google now
[13:12] <vladuz976> mneptok: no, for probably asking obvious questiosn
[13:12] <mneptok> vladuz976: uncomment backport repos in /etc/apt/sources.list
[13:12] <Matr|X> glitsj16 sorry its just with firefox , andits one word at the time ,
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> scunizii'll check it out duder, thanks :)
[13:12] <mneptok> vladuz976: sudo apt-get update && apt-cache show monodevelop
[13:13] <dma> hi all

[13:14] <dma> i have a problem with the system monitor
[13:14] <sleepy_cat> !me |talk
[13:14] <vladuz976> mneptok: yeah looks like only 1.0 is available
[13:14] <glitsj16> Matr|X: yes, that's a limitation i realized that too late .. there might be native ubuntu options with espeak and stardict, read the description of those packages in Synaptic and check if they have the features you want (don't use it myself so i can't say for sure)
[13:14] <dma> when i try to kill or finish any process it exits and doesn't do anything
[13:15] <Matr|X> thx bor
[13:15] <Matr|X> bro ***
[13:15] <clifu> ActionParsnip: I should've thought of that. Fixed it. thanks

[13:25] <suzao> how to get x resolution higher ?
[13:25] <suzao> does anyone know how to do it in 8.10?
[13:25] <elad`> If a shell script is using %1, and then is launched without a parameter, it sort of gets stuck. Can I use if-s in a script? Can I see how many parameters were provided?
[13:26] <scunizi_> suzao: have you looked in System->Admin->Hardware drivers to see if there is a video driver that needs activating?
[13:27] <scunizi_> elad`: if you're trying to automate the replacement of certain files on a remote system.. have you looked at rsync?
[13:27] <elad`> How do I reload .bashrc?
[13:27] <sergey_> hi. how can i clean apt-get cache?
[13:27] <elad`> Scunizi, I'm done with that part. Now I'm just trying to call it with the IP address.
[13:28] <scunizi_> ah
[13:28] <elad`> So, how do I make sure that if the IP isn't provided, the script just quits?
[13:29] <scunizi_> elad`: not sure.. I know little about scripting .. however if you don't get an answer here you might try ##linux
[13:30] <unr3a1> is there a way for me to tell what driver name I am using with my wireless card?
[13:31] <Boohbah> sergey_: apt-get autoclean
[13:31] <skald9> lost all the icons on my desktop but can see everything in the toolbar

[13:40] <Dykam> ask?
[13:40] <scunizi_> max82fr: ctrl+alt+backspace
[13:41] <twitter1> In my taskbar, applications that minimize to an icon are no longer doing so. For example, Pidgin, which should minimize to an icon, is no longer doing so. Same with some other applications. What could be the problem?
[13:41] <suzao> scunizi_:it says unable to create xorg.conf backup when trying to apply/change settings
[13:42] <scunizi_> suzao: ah.. you need to run nvidia-settings as root.. so open terminal and sudo nvidia-settings.. then make your changes and save..
[13:42] <max82fr> didn t work
[13:42] <twitter1> Hello all. My system tray icons are not showing. What to do?
[13:43] <max82fr> does anyone know how to restore original Ubuntu settings??
[13:43] <suzao> scunizi_: thanks for the good tip.. another issue though.. the resolution i need is not displayed in the nvidia settings?
[13:43] <scunizi_> suzao: are you using a flat panel or crt monitor?
do you  know how to restore original Ubuntu settings??
[13:44] <suzao> scunizi_:crt
[13:44] <scunizi_> max82fr: no..
[13:44] <suzao> scunizi: no wiat.. flat ;-)
[13:44] <max82fr> does anyone know how to restore original Ubuntu settings??
[13:45] <suzao> scunizi_: I meant.. LCD ;-)
[13:45] <scunizi_> suzao: is it hooked up with a vga connector or dvi?
[13:46] <Huufarted> Quick mounting question for everybody.  Does Ubuntu have the ability native to mount an ftp server locally or do I need something like curlftpfs?
[13:46] <aata> does anyone know where i can get help with some vnc issues. i need to know how to vnc to a computer thats connected to my router from outside the local network. #vnc seems to be dead it would be good someone could point me in the right direction
[13:46] <panesar_sandeep> !vnc
[13:46] <suzao> scunizi_:vga
[13:46] <treenester1> anyone know why vid will temporarily freeze a few seconds in linux mint 6 64bit?
[13:46] <aata> !FreeNX > aata
[13:46] <Huufarted> aata, you need to forward port 5900 (default) to the appropriate internal PC
[13:46] <max82fr> how to restore Ubuntu to original settings please???
[13:47] <weechat_user> Any idea how i can throttle a particular network interface? I want to throttle "lo" in particular.
[13:47] <CTShadow> !vpn
[13:47] <Huufarted> aata, then simply connect to your public IP and you're done
[13:47] <Huufarted> aata, a more secure method is by opening an SSH tunnel.
[13:47] <scunizi_> suzao: I could be that the monitor isn't telling the computer what it's capable of.. xrandr controls the video for the most part and there is a command for it that will add the resolution to the list of "available" options.  You might also need to add the verticle refresh freqs. to xorg.
[13:47] <Huufarted> !ssh | aata
[13:47] <aata> Huufarted so like vnc://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5900?
[13:47] <scunizi_> suzao: I'll send you a link via ubottu
[13:47] <aata> or just vnc://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[13:47] <Huufarted> aata, yes.  BUt forward the port on your router, first
[13:47] <scunizi_> !resolution > suzao
[13:48] <aata> yes of course
[13:48] <pekalongan> yuiyii
[13:48] <pekalongan> yuyuy
[13:48] <pekalongan> ppp
[13:48] <werdnum> hi, I want a shell script to run at startup, is adding an init.d entry the best way to do this?
[13:48] <Huufarted> aata, port forwarding just tells any connections on your outside port to go to computer 192.168.x.x internally when an attempt is made.
[13:48] <max82fr> does anyone know how to restore original Ubuntu settings??
[13:48] <Huufarted> max82fr, which settings?
[13:48] <yolanda> how are you
[13:49] <max82fr> everything
[13:49] <skald9> my desktop icons are gone including drivers but i still have them in the top Bar
[13:49] <max82fr> Panel bar especially
[13:49] <Roland123> twitter1: maybe you removed the system tray from the panel?
[13:50] <pieces> My panel bar w/ all my launchers and stuff disappeared can anyone tell me know to bring it back?
 panel bar especially
[13:50] <skald9> my desktop icons are gone including drivers but i still have them in the panel Bar

[13:51] <scunizi_> histo: what's a mamecabinet?
[13:52] <histo> Not going to happen with ubuntu and advancemame though. To many issues iwth framebuffer and svgalib
[13:52] <skald9> my desktop icons are gone including drivers but i still have them in the panel Bar ...
[13:52] <max82fr> Huufarted> did it work fine?
[13:52] <venu> I am not able install display drivers. can some 1 help me....graphics card is intel's
[13:52] <Huufarted> max82fr, it really does remove the settings.  All of them.  It does replace them with defaults, but make sure you really do want to reset the entire Gnome desktop
[13:52] <histo> scunizi_: mame is a multiple arcade machine emulator it  allows you to run all the arcade gaes on your PC. I built an arcade cabinet with arcade parts joysticks buttons etc.. with a pc inside of it. Basically allt he arcade games running on it.
[13:53] <suzao> scunizi_: VGA

[13:55] <skald9> my desktop icons are gone including drivers but i still have them in the panelbar
[13:55] <max82fr> it says need to be root

[13:57] <Seveas> Huufarted, you've eaten enough babies already :)
[13:58] <Huufarted> skald9, desktop icons are merely saved in ~/Desktop
[13:58] <twitter1> Roland123: Its very probable. And sorry for late response, I was googling
[13:58] <arvind_khadri> hi how do i make the bot forget a factoid and make it learn a new one?
[13:58] <skald9> they are gone their too
[13:58] <twitter1> Roland123: Actually, I was trying to remove Network connections icon from taskbar, but System tray must have also got removed.
[13:58] <Seveas> ubottu, please tell arvind_khadri about yourself
[13:59] <Roland123> twitter1: i was working.. so no harm done :P
[13:59] <twitter1> Roland123: But in add to panel dialog, there is no system tray option
[13:59] <suzao> scunizi_: it says cannot find mode VGA-0
[13:59] <suzao> scunizi_:how do i know what mode to set.. i want to add 1280x1024
[13:59] <suzao> scunizi: correction... cannot find 'output' VGA-0
[13:59] <minche> i googled it before
[13:59] <minche> but nothing worked =()
[14:00] <Roland123> twitter1: it's called notification area...
[14:00] <Roland123> twitter1: i have looked for it too :p
[14:00] <scunizi_> suzao: what can't find it? xrandr? or nvidia-settings?
 wicked!! thanks a lot
[14:00] <twitter1> Roland123: Thanks for your help. The icons are back :D
[14:01] <minche> bah
[14:01] <Huufarted> max82fr, no problem.  It's a good link, bookmark it.
 i have a problem with Xchat Gnome. it won t work. i have to use the other one. cn u help?
[14:02] <Huufarted> !ask | max82fr
[14:02] <zorglu_> q. i got IM spam from my hotmail account, aka msg from people i dont know, is there an option to make it stop ? like 'dont gimme msg from people not in my contact list"
 do u know?
[14:03] <Huufarted> max82fr, you have to ask the question.  I don't even know what the problem is.
[14:03] <Boohbah> zorglu_: hotmail is not ubuntu
[14:03] <skald9> my desktop icons are gone including drivericons,  but i still have them in the panel Bar
[14:03] <max82fr> sorry.
[14:03] <zorglu_> Boohbah: glad you made the difference
[14:03] <scunizi_> zorglu_: are you using something like aMSN ?
[14:03] <NOTEBOOK> hi man
[14:03] <max82fr> My XChat Gnome won t start. It stays in the bottom bar and then disappear
[14:03] <zorglu_> scunizi_: im using pidgin
[14:03] <max82fr> how to fix that?
[14:03] <Boohbah> !hi | NOTEBOOK
[14:04] <NOTEBOOK> oh
[14:04] <scunizi_> zorglu_: if you're using pidgin to connect to messenger then I would switch to aMSN.  That should give you the option of ignoring people outside your contact list
[14:04] <NOTEBOOK> i'm late
[14:05] <NOTEBOOK> bye bye
[14:05] <skald9> how can i restore the icons including the driver-icons on my desktop
[14:05] <zorglu_> scunizi: ok noted. somebody on #pidgin just told me the answer it is in the 'privacy' setting
[14:06] <scunizi_> zorglu_: ok..
[14:06] <zorglu_> scunizi_: thanks for your help
[14:06] <knutwin> hi, i have restored my startup-manager configuration to default, and now i get the annoying "error 15: File not found" when i reboot. i cant access my ubuntu anymore. every grub list entry i select does not work and gives out the same "error 15"
[14:06] <arvind_khadri> Seveas, thanks...
[14:06] <Huufarted> skald9, what made them disappear?
[14:06] <suzao> scunizi_: commandline to xandr
[14:06] <Huufarted> skald9, and do you mean on the main desktop portion or did they disappear from the panels on top/bottom?
[14:06] <max82fr> My XChat Gnome won t start. It stays in the bottom bar and then disappear
 how to fix that?
[14:06] <arvind_khadri> knutwin, you the entries in your menu.lst would be screwed
[14:06] <skald9> I dont know, it was suddely gone when i started up today
[14:07] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: how can i solve that?
[14:07] <Huufarted> max82fr, I haven't seen that.  I don't know where the settings are kept.  You can try this:  sudo apt-get purge xchat-gnome
[14:07] <arvind_khadri> knutwin, are you on live-cd now?
[14:08] <scunizi_> suzao: you might be able to add it just by xrandr -s <resolution> .. but I haven't really played with xrandr enough to know how to use it.
[14:08] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: no, on another machine with ubuntu
[14:08] <Huufarted> max82fr, but that will WIPE xchat-gnome entirely
[14:08] <skald9> directory desktop is empty
[14:08] <suzao> scunizi_: xrander cant find it
[14:08] <scunizi_> max82fr: you should be using xchat instead of xchat-gnome anyway..
[14:09] <BLTnoTomato> when doing commands in the shell, how can I get all the info into one output file? like "ll > crap" and then "who > crap". I want them all to be in one file though, like appending
[14:09] <Huufarted> skald9, you'll have to redownload it.
[14:09] <max82fr> what will that do?
[14:09] <scunizi_> suzao: not xrander but xrandr
[14:09] <Huufarted> max82fr, it will get rid of xchat-gnome entirely, settings and all. I'd recommend xchat as well, though.
[14:09] <skald9> where do i do that ?
[14:09] <Huufarted> xchat-gnome is limited and looks like garbage IMO
[14:09] <skald9> and how ?µ
[14:09] <Huufarted> skald9, however you got them to begin with
[14:09] <max82fr> U prefer the Gnome one or this one?
[14:09] <arvind_khadri> knutwin, ok on the machine with the problem, go the command line from grub , press 'c' and then do find /boot/grub/stage1 , note down the value now and then go the menu back and press 'e' and check for the line 'root' , see if the value is correct or not
[14:09] <Huufarted> max82fr, the regular xchat, not xchat-gnome
[14:10] <scunizi_> Huufarted: the ~.xchat config file might still be left after a purge ..
[14:10] <max82fr> really?
[14:10] <Huufarted> Scunizi_, I don't doubt it
[14:10] <Huufarted> max82fr, yeah.  Why do you prefer the xchat-gnome?
[14:10] <max82fr> looks better, easier to read
[14:10] <skald9> what do you mean  Huufarted?
[14:11] <scunizi_> max82fr: you can change whatever you want in xchat..
[14:11] <Huufarted> skald9, your desktop is just a storage directory, just like everything else.  Either it's gone or on another user's desktop.
[14:11] <skald9> only one user here
[14:11] <max82fr> <scunizi dunno that yet
[14:11] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: im in thze command line, now how can i search?
[14:11] <suzao> scunizi_: yes xrandr
[14:11] <scunizi_> max82fr: no matter .. I use irssi
[14:11] <arvind_khadri> knutwin, of the machine which has the problem? type 'find /boot/grub/stage1'
[14:12] <max82fr> ok
[14:12] <Huufarted> knutwin:  find . -name "filename" -print
[14:12] <skald9> but how come the drives dont show but when i put in a usb-stick i can see it on desktop ?
[14:12] <Huufarted> knutwin:  ignore my statement
[14:12] <max82fr> does anyone knows how to set up evolution mail to work with hotmail?
[14:12] <scunizi_> suzao: sorry but I'm stuck at this point.. I'll leave it to those with more insight to the problem
[14:12] <scunizi_> max82fr: you can't unless you're paying for the hotmail service.. you can however, with gmail
[14:13] <max82fr> <scunizi u joking?
[14:13] <skald9> no max82fr its true
[14:13] <max82fr> <scunizi it s crap
[14:14] <suzao> scunizi_:thanks for your help
[14:14] <max82fr> does anyone use pidgin here??
[14:14] <scunizi_> max82fr: no.. as far as I know hotmail is accessable via pop only if you're paying for the service.. gmail has imap and pop access..
[14:14] <scunizi_> suzao: sorry I couldn't do more.
[14:14] <max82fr> scunizi> ok. do u use pidgin?
[14:15] <suzao> scunizi_: np thanks ;-)
[14:15] <scunizi_> max82fr: yep. and some others.
[14:15] <max82fr> scunizi> ok  i got rid of it because there s always an error message about user at start up
[14:15] <DuHast> pidgin i used to use :P
[14:15] <max82fr> scunizi> do u know how to fix this?
[14:16] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: my usb keyboard doesnt work
[14:16] <scunizi_> max82fr: kind of an undefined error.. can you be more specific?
[14:16] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: i have one nomral keyboard, but the letter "b" is broken
[14:16] <max82fr> scunizi> could not add user or something like that. does it ring a bell?
[14:16] <arvind_khadri> knutwin, no other keyboard? do one thing boot into a live-cd
[14:16] <knutwin> ok one moment
[14:17] <DJones> scunizi_: Thats pretty much true about hotmail, the only exception is if the hotmail account is an old one, from before 2004 when they started charging, also it seems like there are reports the hotmail is allowing free pop3/smtp access in certain countries now http://www.instantfundas.com/2009/01/hotmail-enables-free-pop3-and-smtp.html
[14:18] <scunizi_> max82fr: probably something in the syntax of what you were trying to do. I haven't had any issues with pidgin at all.. I've also used ekiga, wengophone, aMSN and finch
[14:18] <max82fr> oki let me reinstall it and i ll tell u the exact thing, ok?
[14:18] <shadeslayer> hi, i dont know how it happened,but every time i open a folder it opens in VLC
[14:18] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: its booting :-)
[14:18] <scunizi_> DJones: I guess that's good news for those that use it.. I use it as my online junk email account.. :)
[14:18] <scunizi_> max82fr: k
[14:19] <arvind_khadri> knutwin, :)
[14:19] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: ...into live cd version
[14:19] <DJones> scunizi_: :) same as me then, may as well let MS cope with my junk mail
[14:19] <shadeslayer> how do i set it back to open with nautilus
[14:19] <dolop> kshfkjdhf
[14:19] <dolop> bbbjdhf
[14:19] <dolop> bfjjjdf
[14:20] <shadeslayer> testing??
[14:20] <scunizi_> DJones: I figure it's my effort to keep there servers as busy as possible.. kinda interesting if you turn off all the junk mail filters.

  still here?
[14:26] <shadeslayer> now only if i could know how to solve me problem
[14:27] <scunizi_> max82fr: it's related to your msn account I think.. I just googled it and you're not the only one with the problem.. you might google and see what comes up for solutions.. I'm on terminal and using a terminal based browser to look. Kinda hard cutting and pasting from one screen window to the next
[14:27] <arvind_> knutwin, sorry had a disconnection
[14:27] <knutwin> arvind_: ok
[14:27] <max82fr> oki forget it

 I use Kmess so far
 is that good?
[14:29] <scunizi_> max82fr: that's where all the programs for ubuntu are located for download.. Check System>Admin>Synaptic Package manager.  That's where you'll find the program
[14:29] <shadeslayer> maybe ill just restart
[14:29] <scunizi_> max82fr: I don't know what Kmess is..

[14:29] <shadeslayer> bye
 last question, do u have an ipd touch?
[14:29] <orangekid> what's the difference between suspend and hibernate?
 suspend is the equivalent of Stand by in Windows
[14:30] <arvind_> knutwin, nope.... hit Ctrl+Shift+T and type sudo fdisk -l
[14:30] <scunizi_> max82fr: my son does.. the only way to make it work is if you're running windows in a vm.. otherwise I think there might be a "jailbreak" way of making it work but it's risky
[14:30] <orangekid> oh
 I jailbroke it but Im screwed now. it doesn t work in ubuntu
 cannot mount it
[14:31] <orangekid> max82fr:  you just need to restore it
[14:31] <orangekid> by dling the firmware from itunes
[14:31] <orangekid> there's also sites with firmware
[14:31] <orangekid> check out www.ipodtouchfans.com
 do u know how to make it work in Ubuntu???
[14:31] <orangekid> the forums
[14:32] <orangekid> i dont know if there's a native linux app that works with the itouch
[14:32] <orangekid> i dual boot

[14:36] <scunizi_> max82fr: you're being a bit short sighted.. there are people in here from ALL over the world.. just because it's an english channel doesn't mean it's U.S. centric ..

[14:43] <oCean_> shadeslayer: sometimes things are ..
[14:43] <fasta> Is the point of a distribution that users do not need to compile everything and in particular not the kernel? If so, Ubuntu is pointless for me. Since, only after I compiled a kernel, all my hardware magically worked, while the "packages" all failed with mysterious error messages.
[14:43] <fasta> kernel.org has never let me down, I think.
[14:44] <knutwin> arvind_k: still there?
[14:44] <shadeslayer> oCean_: true
[14:44] <rapha> fasta: Then you seem to be an exception.

[15:00] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: the problem started with resetting startup-manager to default

[15:00] <DrDigital> thanks
[15:00] <gnr> 4gb then. but isn't that a little much hwilde?
[15:01] <arvind_khadri> knutwin, your menu.lst seems to be fine... cant you use any other keyboard here? what did you do with network-manager?
[15:01] <DrDigital> its good
[15:01] <gnr> and hwilde how would i go about setting up the partitions for windows
[15:01] <arvind_khadri> hwilde, thats only for ram less than a gb gnr
[15:01] <DrDigital> guess ill go back to fedora
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> DrDigital: http://ftp.sh.cvut.cz/MIRRORS/ubuntu-releases/8.10/MD5SUMS
[15:01] <arvind_khadri> !swap | hwilde ,
[15:01] <fr00d> Hello!
[15:01] <hwilde> gnr, how much space do you want for windows?
[15:02] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: nothing with network manager.. i just resetted the program "startup-manager" (installable from ubuntu repos) to the default. after doing that he prompted me to reboot. after that the error came
[15:02] <gnr> around 20gb hwilde perhaps 30
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> hwilde: only have a good swap if its needed
[15:02] <arvind_khadri> knutwin, oh ok, what did you change?
[15:02] <DrDigital> md5s match up
[15:02] <fr00d> I've an apacheproblem with xen. [ 1196.922123] apache2[4170] general protection eip:b7a908ab esp:bf9579c4 error:0 What do I need to do that apache starts normally?
[15:02] <DrDigital> and ive burned 11 cds
[15:02] <DrDigital> each one same issue
[15:03] <DrDigital> fedora worked
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> DrDigital: you should check those as well as verify the burned cd is ok
[15:03] <fr00d> Another Xen DomU is running apache pretty well.
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> DrDigital: also burn the iso as slow as you physically can
[15:03] <Ko_deZ> Hi. I would like to run "blockdev --setra 4096 /dev/sdb" at startup. I was wondering if there is a init.d script that does this? hdparm has its config file, does blockdev also have the same?
[15:03] <DrDigital> yeah i did
[15:03] <DrDigital> 8x
[15:03] <DrDigital> slowest the disk allowed
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> DrDigital: all awesome so far
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | DrDigital
[15:03] <hwilde> ActionParsnip, dd has no progress bar or nothing?    I dunno if this is working or just sitting there.
[15:03] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: i dont really know.. there was a button that said reset to default and i pressed it :x ... before that i was trying to install a usplash theme
[15:04] <loopux> hi...
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> DrDigital: try some bootoptions like acpi off nodma etc
[15:04] <DrDigital> i just plan to use the system to run virtualizations of other linux system
[15:04] <loopux> i have a problem with grub...
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> hwilde: depending on the partition sizes will dictate how long it takes, dd unfortunately has no progress bar
[15:04] <yowwww> im getting an error 24 on my jaunty install (the file system is clean), anyone have any ideas? ive already reinstalled grub.
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> hwilde: but it will do a bit by bit copy
[15:05] <hwilde> ActionParsnip, and they are solid state so I can't even hear them doing anything...
[15:05] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: i have an adapter from usb to ps2? does that help me?
[15:05] <DarkKnight> hey my sound isn't working in my vbox
[15:05] <DarkKnight> hey my sound isn't working in my vbox can anyone help me wih that
[15:05] <hwilde> ActionParsnip, fdisk shows the partition table created so I guess it's doing something.
[15:05] <hwilde> !vbox | DarkKnight
[15:05] <arvind_khadri> knutwin, aah, dont try to play with usplash it most of the times doesnt work :) .. i have no idea about that adapter , you can try anyways
[15:05] <hari1> can some one guide me Installing  Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics  controller drivers on Ubuntu ....?
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> hwilde: shoud be smooth then, solid state is less bursty that platter based
[15:06] <Guest28677> Hi I started Xnest like so "Xnest :10". How do I run gdm in it now?
[15:06] <hwilde> ActionParsnip, how does it handle blank space?  disk is 74G but only 4G used.  will it write all those zeros too
[15:06] <fr00d> What's the matter when I can't even start /usr/sbin/apache2 --help?
[15:07] <Eressolar> fr00d: exactly what error do you receive?
[15:08] <hechu> hari1, can you use X environment now ?
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> hwilde: i believe they will be unallocated space but i think you can add them to the other partitions of make a new on e and mount it some place
[15:09] <hechu> fr00d, you may use "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start" to start you http server.
[15:09] <arvind_khadri> knutwin, ???
[15:09] <fr00d> Eressolar: [   70.658298] apache2[3908] general protection eip:b7b158ab esp:bff32c04 error:0
[15:09] <fr00d> This is the exact error.
[15:10] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: i have to get it from a friend.. give me 5 min
[15:10] <fr00d> hechu: The init-script doesn't work asswell.
[15:10] <hari1> hechu: i am not able to enable visual effects .. .
[15:10] <arvind_khadri> knutwin, sure :)
[15:10] <jc> is there an off-topic channel
[15:10] <DJones> !offtopic | jc
[15:11] <gnr> anyone have a little time to help me set up some partitions, little new to it..
[15:11] <kestrel> my friend, for whom I set up Ubuntu, is having an issue.  The applications menu has stopped working!  Places and System still work, but Applications will not react to button press.  Any ideas?
[15:11] <marca311> gnr sure
[15:12] <hechu> hari1, did you installed compiz ?
[15:12] <yangyanli_> Hi all, could someone give me a guide on how to set the CATALINA_HOME?
[15:12] <virtaava> fr00d, that souns like kernels Segmentation fault error message?
[15:12] <hari1> yes...
[15:12] <gnr> thanks marca311, does pm work on this server? bit busy in here..
[15:13] <fr00d> virtaava: Not the Kernel segfaults but the apache.
[15:13] <hechu> hari1, usually 845G chipset use i810 driver. and I remember my old computer(which has a 845G chipset) can run 3D effect.
[15:13] <marca311> gnr. i don't know
[15:14] <fr00d> Google says I should run memcheck, but I don't think that really helps in an Xen DomU.
[15:14] <fr00d> -n
[15:14] <gnr> marca311:  join #marca311    :D
[15:14] <virtaava> try rebuilding your ldap
[15:14] <hari1> hechu:but in hardware drivers, no driver is being displayed to be activated...
[15:16] <hechu> hari1, the 'hardware drivers' is used to provide restricted drivers such as ATI/Nvidia graphics driver or WLAN wifi driver.
[15:17] <king> hey
[15:17] <eldenz> how is the package named that give me manpages for C/systemcalls ?
[15:17] <eldenz> like lstat etc
[15:17] <arvind_khadri> !hi | king
[15:18] <hari1> hechu:then how can i config my onboard graphics to support visual effects of ccsm...?
[15:18] <DrDigital> bizzare, CentOS just burned and installed no issues
[15:18] <RizR> hello. Is there a way to open a new tab in an already opened gnome-terminal using command line?
[15:18] <RizR> It's like doing gnome-terminal --tab but attach it with an existing window rather than opening a new one
[15:19] <arvind_khadri> RizR, ctrl+shift+t
[15:20] <RizR> arvind_khadri: that opens in current gnome-terminal window. I need in "any" open gnome-terminal window
[15:20] <scunizi_> RizR: yes.. it's called screen.. check it out
[15:21] <k4dm> siemka
[15:21] <scunizi_> RizR: but... you have to start screen before you get wrapped up in doing something at terminal.. if you can send what you have going to the background then you can initiate screen
[15:21] <admin_masu3701> hello i have a question... i dont know what happen but i am not root user anymore..i try to sudo apt-get update and get a message user is not in the sudoers
[15:22] <admin_masu3701> how can i become root again?
[15:22] <RizR> scrunizi_: I know screen but I think that's not what I need.
[15:22] <hechu> hari1, I am reading some document about 845. it seems some bad news.
[15:22] <erUSUL> !root | admin_masu3701
[15:22] <scunizi_> RizR: screen will "split" so you can have something going in each window
[15:22] <erUSUL> !sudo > admin_masu3701
[15:22] <RizR> scunizi_: screen deals with the outout of terminals and the terminal itself. I need something to talk to the gnome-terminal thing.
[15:23] <hechu> hari1, refer to the release note of 8.10: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810#Hangs%20with%20desktop%20effects%20on%20Intel%20830MG%20and%20845G%20video%20cards
[15:23] <arvind_khadri> admin_masu3701, check out /etc/sudoers
[15:24] <hechu> hari1, There is a bug in the Intel video driver for the older intel 830 and 845 integrated video cards that are used on laptops like the IBM R30. Desktop effects with compiz will not work on those chips and will freeze the system. For new installations, please install using the safe graphics mode (press F4 in the startup screen) on these systems and disable desktop effects via System -> Preferences -> Appearance, clicking on "Visual effects" and choosing "No
[15:24] <hechu> ne".
[15:24] <scunizi_> RizR: maybe I misunderstood .. you wanted a new tab in terminal, the gui windowed terminal ?
[15:24] <AlexMax> Hi there, is it possible to enable cyrilic characters in gnome-terminal?
[15:24] <RizR> scunizi: yes.
[15:24] <hari1> hechu:ok..:)
[15:24] <nutzer> hallo
[15:25] <RizR> scunizi_: if one has more than one gnome-terminals open and one wants to open a new tab in gnome-terminal window of his choice. how it's done.
[15:25] <AlexMax> My locale is utf-8 but when i look at cyrilic text in irssi for example it shows up as a bunch of weird letters
[15:25] <scunizi_> RizR: so you're just looking for the command to make that happen but not because you neccessarily need another tab..?
[15:25] <magnetron> AlexMax→ your IRC friends probably doesn't use UTF-8
[15:25] <hechu> hari1, bad news. I don't know if it fixed now.
[15:26] <tuxorz> hello everyone and good moring
[15:26] <jc> AlexMax: unicode terminal?
[15:26] <magnetron> tuxorz→ welcome and good afternoon
[15:26] <RizR> scunizi_: well I need another tab :-) that's why I'm looking for it.
[15:26] <hechu> hari1, but I do remember I've use 3D effect in my old computer.
[15:26] <tuxorz> ty magnetron
[15:26] <AlexMax> jc: yeah i'm using gnome-terminal in utf-8 mode
[15:26] <hari1> hechu:then how to go about........?
[15:26] <l3dplated_Linux> how many accounts should I make on a fresh install?
[15:27] <magnetron> AlexMax→ your terminal already accepts cyrillic letters, but maybe your font doesn't?
[15:27] <scunizi_> RizR: File/New Tab .. since you're in the gui use the menu
[15:27] <admin_masu3701> arvind_khadri: when i try to access /etc/sudoers it says that i dont have permission
[15:27] <devilsF00d> hi how can you determine what your broadcast address should be when setting an interface for a static IP?
[15:27] <AlexMax> magnetron: I'm using normal font
[15:27] <magnetron> l3dplated_Linux→ are you talking about user accounts? one account per user i guess.
[15:27] <RizR> scunizi_: this is straight forward but not what I asked. no worries mate. I think it can't be done using gnome-terminal.
[15:27] <RizR> scunizi_: thanks anyway.
[15:27] <tuxorz> is anyone avalible to help with some issues i'm having with opengl support for my ATI 3100 mobile radeon graphic card for my laptop?
[15:28] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: the adapter doesnt work
[15:28] <AlexMax> magnetron: However I added the cyrlic iso encodings and switch to that. then i started to see cyrlic letters
[15:28] <admin_masu3701> ubottu: i was able to do updates and install before
[15:28] <admin_masu3701> now i just cant
[15:28] <hechu> hari1, my old computer runs 3D very fine. about 2 years ago.
[15:28] <arvind_khadri> admin_masu3701, do cat /etc/sudoers and see if your name is there?
[15:28] <magnetron> AlexMax→ that means that your friends doesn't use UTF-8.
[15:28] <knutwin> arvind_khadri: maybe i backup my files and reinstall ubuntu... or is there another way?
[15:29] <arvind_khadri> knutwin, aah bad luck.... backup whatever is there in your home... and re-install and remember not to mess with usplash :P :)
[15:29] <l3dplated_Linux> Magnetron  so I should see me and root in the user list if no one else is going to use the pc
[15:29] <tuxorz> im running compiz fusion just fine but i am unable to get any viewable game play in the opengl type of games
[15:29] <hari1> hechu:ok... i will catch u later..........

[15:40] <funkyHat> Dreamglider: yes that will work, you'll have to increase the partition and then the filesystem size afterwards though probably
[15:40] <Droopsta915> I need to help a friend fix his computer. Is there a windows chat in here?

[15:41] <Phantom-X> do i need to patch or retrieve another kernel to get ipset to work in ubunti intrepid ?
[15:42] <arvind_khadri> tuxorz, as compiz uses all of the grpahics :) simple
[15:42] <funkyHat> tuxorz: possibly because Compiz is using OpenGL already, so the game can't
[15:42] <tuxorz> really wow that may be it

[15:43] <anton_> how 2 restore screen size?
[15:43] <funkyHat> Dreamglider: I think that gparted can do it all for you (don't know for certain, never tried it)
[15:44] <huhn23> Hello. I've got the mp3 unfree package installed, still however, playing mp3/ogg&whatever music file will only work occasionally.sometimes when I press play just nothing happens. this happens in all (rhythmbox, exaile,banshee) players. what could it be?
[15:44] <Dreamglider> funkyHat: does the destination need to be partitioned at all? (it's a brand new disk)
[15:44] <anton_> how 2 restore screen size?
[15:44] <Dreamglider> funkyHat: and the source has 3 partitions, one ntfs one ext3 and a swap area
[15:44] <funkyHat> Dreamglider: no, dd will copy everything, including the partition table if you use the device names for if and of
[15:45] <cristi> hy! i am having a sound problem. when i plug in my headset the sound outputs through headset AND speakers, instead of just headset. What should i do?
[15:45] <storbeck> cristi: mute Front
[15:45] <funkyHat> Dreamglider: right... which partition are you planning to expand?
[15:45] <Dreamglider> funkyHat: i need to clone the whole drive
[15:45] <dmizer> on the xfce desktop, how do i change the name of the "home" folder to my username?
[15:46] <cristi> storbeck: if i do so the sound won't output through headset
[15:46] <funkyHat> Dreamglider: ok, dd will do that, but after you've done that, which partition do you want to expand to fill the extra space you'll have?
[15:46] <storbeck> cristi: It should
[15:46] <cristi> but it's not
[15:47] <cristi> storbeck: but it's not
[15:47] <storbeck> cristi: Try muting PCM then
[15:47] <Dreamglider> funkyHat: ahh, well first ill expand the ext3(Ubuntu) partition, and if posible id like the ntfs a bit bigger allso, but primary the ext3 partition.
[15:47] <cristi> storbeck: same
[15:47] <arvind_khadri> !resolution | anton_
[15:47] <funkyHat> Dreamglider: I'm guessing your ntfs partition is first on the disc, in which case expanding your ext3 partition will be quite easy, but the nfts one not so much
[15:48] <storbeck> cristi: Try opening up alsamixer and playing around with mute. On mine I just mute Front and headphones still work
[15:48] <dmizer> in xfce, how do i change the name of the home icon on the desktop to my user name?
[15:48] <cristi> storbeck: blah ok
[15:48] <erUSUL> dmizer: try #xubuntu
[15:48] <dmizer> erUSUL thanks.
[15:49] <cristi> storbeck: i did, and didn't reach any results
[15:49] <erUSUL> dmizer: no problem
[15:49] <tuxorz> hello everyone
[15:50] <Dreamglider> funkyHat: yes the ntfs is first then comes the ext3, i have tried to expand the ext3 with gparted, it's quite easy.

[15:50] <Dreamglider> funkyHat: what you mean with if and of ?
[15:50] <tmpnam> When executed with BASH?
[15:50] <erUSUL> !ops | tmpnam Fork Bomb
[15:50] <tmpnam> lol
[15:50] <funkyHat> Dreamglider: the arguments to the dd command
[15:50] <Jubez> Hi, is there a channel on freenode that deals with the ubuntu-server OS in particular?
[15:50] <arvind_khadri> !danger
[15:50]  * erUSUL do not do what the looser tmpnam says
[15:50] <Dreamglider> funkyHat:  is   "dd if=/dev/source if=/dev/destination" wrong ? (here both are "if")
[15:51] <funkyHat> Dreamglider: yes it should be dd if=/dev/source of=/dev/destination
[15:51] <arvind_khadri> erUSUL, i always thought you were a op :)
[15:51] <ariqs> ok, say I compile something with qmake -recursive and then make, and I want to throw in cpu optimization for my cpu in the compile, how do I go about that? I can't even find a makefile in this thing
[15:51] <tuxorz> hello SEVILLA
[15:51] <tuxorz> well its not my compiz fusion thats the problem, i turned it off and tried planet penguin racer but i still get a bunch of horizontal lines ruining the display
[15:51] <Dreamglider> funkyHat: ok thank you. Ill initiate the command now and pray.
[15:51] <erUSUL> arvind_khadri: i do not have that responsability XD
[15:52] <funkyHat> Dreamglider: sorry I didn't notice you'd put if twice in your question
[15:52] <arvind_khadri> erUSUL, its ok :)
[15:52] <oxygen> how can i set ubuntu
[15:52] <oxygen> password
[15:52] <oxygen> sudo root ?
[15:52] <erUSUL> !root | oxygen
[15:52] <tuxorz> i can hear sound and all and see the colors but i am unable to get it to display correctly?
[15:52] <erUSUL> !rootpass | oxygen
[15:52] <nemera> hi there
[15:53] <erUSUL> oxygen: we do not support ubuntu with enabled root account here. thank you
[15:53] <Jeruvy> oxyen: passwd and addpasswd, see man passwd for details
[15:53] <storbeck> oxygen: If you're just setting the reg. user password, just use: passwd
[15:53] <tuxorz> im on a laptop,...humm maybe its my resolution setting for my desktop 1200 x 800
[15:53] <cristi> storbeck: hm something interesting. i started alsamixer in terminal and at headphone i can't adjust volume or manipulate.
[15:53] <funkyHat> Dreamglider: if you're happy with just resizing your ext3 partition then that's fine, if you want to resize your ntfs too I would suggest partitioning the new drive with 1 partition the same size (or a bit bigger) than your current ntfs, then taking out your old disc, using the windows installer disc to 'repair' the installation and repartitioning ntfs from windows
[15:53] <nemera> do someone know a program that is a wysiwyg for web creation ? like drag and drop feature ( a bit like Iweb on apple os 10 )
[15:54] <Omatic> Hi guys, how can I delete a file or directory refuses to delete with the command rm -rf <filename> claiming that it's Read-only, It's also not accepting permission or ownership changes, the files are in a flash disk. Thanks
[15:54] <arvind_khadri> !nvu | nemera
[15:54] <erUSUL> nemera: kompozer ?
[15:54] <funkyHat> Dreamglider: then after that creating a new partition using gparted, then use dd to copy just your / partition, then resize that using gparted
[15:54] <item> part & 2
[15:54] <storbeck> Omatic: chmod 644 file
[15:54] <nemera> thanks a lot friends :) ill take a look at it
[15:54] <erUSUL> Omatic: the filesystem is mounted as read only. you have to remount it rw
[15:54] <storbeck> Or rather, sudo chmod 644 file
[15:54] <nemera> i m so happy with my ubuntu ( no other system on computer anymore appart ubuntu intrepid ;p )
[15:55] <nemera> komposer and nvu :)t will check tha
[15:55] <erUSUL> Omatic: maybe the flash disk has a hardware switch to "lock" it
[15:55] <Omatic> erUSUL, how do I remount and mount
[15:55] <admin_masu3701> can someone tell me how to make a user be root
[15:55] <erUSUL> Omatic: try this "sudo mount -o remount,rw /mount/point"
[15:56] <erUSUL> admin_masu3701: the first user created on a ubuntu system can use sudo
[15:56] <tuxorz> no its not the resolution thats stopping me from playing planet penguin racer
[15:56] <erUSUL> admin_masu3701: if you want some other user to have the same powers just add him to the admin group
[15:56] <tuxorz> May I get some help on this graphic challenge here?
[15:57] <storbeck> admin_masu3701: sudo -i
[15:57] <corey> I am looking for  a desktop manager that is eye candy
[15:57] <funkyHat> tuxorz: try running `metacity --replace' before you start your game and see if it makes any difference
[15:57] <monreal> Can someone help me with a kernel/module/boot problem? Looks like ubuntu generates broken initrds for me now which don't boot. All I see at boot is ""udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured."
[15:57] <skald9> can someone help me ? No icons anymore on my desktop and can't mount external harddisk (even after re-installing!)
[15:57] <funkyHat> tuxorz: you can run compiz --replace to turn compiz back on afterwards
[15:58] <tuxorz> funnyHat ok ty
[15:58] <ghostcube> compiz --replace & disown
[15:58] <corey> I am looking for  a desktop manager that is eye candy
[15:58] <mostafa> wht is compiz
[15:58] <ghostcube> de is not eyecandy the WM will be the eyecandy
[15:58] <storbeck> corey: That's a generic question. For me, eye candy is fluxbox. For others, it's gentoo with all the compiz features
[15:58] <ghostcube> so compiz or kde4 effects will do this
[15:59] <scunizi_> corey: e17 is popular
[15:59] <arvind_khadri> !compiz | mostafa
[15:59] <storbeck> err, not gentoo, ubuntu*
[15:59] <storbeck> :)
[15:59] <corey> Thank guys! I am looking for one that is pretty like vista and has the search bar for files
[15:59] <storbeck> Oh my
[16:00] <bribagz> whats Vista?
[16:00] <scunizi_> corey: the searchbar is called deskbar and you can put that on gnome if you want
[16:00] <arvind_khadri> !vista | bribagz
[16:00] <tuxorz> no funnyHat that didn't work
[16:00] <corey> scunizi_ : deskbar? Thank I will look into that
[16:00] <Jan|> how do I change gslideshow settings?
[16:00] <sammy> lets say I deleted a functions file that an init.d script needs. trying to remove, install, force remove or force install that package using apt-get or dpkg tries to stop the daemon using the init script first, which can't find the function file, and dies.
[16:00] <Jubez> !ubuntu-server
[16:01] <funkyHat> tuxorz: no difference? or the command didn't work?
[16:01] <sammy> I should be able to restore the function file from the .deb or set the daemon state to stopped somehow, but I'm  not sure how to do either.
[16:01] <failers> !sabayon
[16:01] <tuxorz> i still can her the sound, see the basic color scheme but its still all horozontal lines
[16:01] <scunizi_> corey: just right mouse click one of your bars and "add" then look for Deskbar in the list
[16:01] <MarkH88> Hi, im currently running ubuntu and i want to nuke my VISTA partition and install XP on it, i was just hoping for some advice before i do this
[16:01] <tuxorz> i used the compiz icon to switch to metacity
[16:02] <scunizi_> MarkH88: you can do that but after reinstalling xp you'll have to fix grub.. I'll send you a link
[16:02] <scunizi_> !grub > MarkH88
[16:02] <funkyHat> MarkH88: my advice is be very careful when choosing your partition in the windows XP installer, it can be tricksy. Also after you've done that you'll have to use the ubuntu live CD to reinstall Grub
[16:02] <tuxorz> and it does it not only for games but for just about anything that runs advancded graphics
[16:03] <tuxorz> its like some horizontal sync is messing up....i dropped my display to 1024 by 768 too
[16:04] <ariqs> I don't know what I'm doing, I ran qmake -recursive -makefile, and now I don't know how to make with the makefile make -f Makefile doesn't work
[16:04] <Akkernight_> Hello. How do I see if my Ubuntu is 64bit
[16:04] <profanephobia> Can i change the color of the selection box the mouse makes?
[16:05] <funkyHat> Akkernight_: uname -a
[16:05] <natsukashi> Hm, I managed to fail with my dualboot installation. Ubuntu is the only one that boots now. ):
[16:05] <Akkernight_> where do I type uname -a
[16:05] <natsukashi> And the wiki didn't help me either. ):

[16:07] <natsukashi> cristi: Well, I followed the normal installation procedure and when I rebooted my computer it just booted Ubuntu. Then I checked the boot thingy in BIOS and there were only Ubuntu to be chosen from. :/
[16:07] <erUSUL> Omatic: is with the -o "sudo mount -o remount,rw /mount/point"
[16:07] <gnr> !swap
[16:08] <erUSUL> Akkernight_: System<Preferences>keyboard choose the correct layout
[16:08] <perlsyntax> nyone know how to print a pdf file off your printer???????
[16:08] <tuxorz> anyone know a good place to go get graphic support?
[16:08] <cristi> natsukashi: if you installed windows, and then ubuntu you should be able to see both with grub at startup
[16:08] <funkyHat> Akkernight_: possibly because you have a UK keyboard (or some other layout) and the CD defaults to US
[16:08] <Omatic> erUSUL, oh I see
[16:08] <Akkernight_> I have Scandinavian, and thanks!

[16:19] <natsukashi> I don't like the looks of this. One of my HDD's isn't showing up
[16:19] <Besogon> natsukashi, No. This file like boot.ini in Windows and more. Sorry. I cant tell you enough about it, but in the internet have many information.
[16:19] <yharrow> natsukashi, what issue were you having?
[16:20] <arvind_khadri> rai, ask #compiz-fusion
[16:20] <natsukashi> yharrow: The one with Windows not showing up in the boot menu or about a HDD that suddenly disappeared?
[16:21] <yharrow> natsukashi, boot entries are listed in /boot/grub/menu.lst. You can either manually edit that file or use a tool called Start Up Manager to graphically eidtt aht file
[16:21] <yharrow> edit*
[16:22] <yharrow> natsukashi, one moment, I will try to give you some more specific instructions
[16:22] <natsukashi> yharrow: Thanks. :)
[16:23] <zoidfarb> Does anyone know how to assign a custom unicode character to a shortcut key?
[16:23] <zoidfarb> To type foreign letters, for instance
[16:23] <ict> dd
[16:24] <rai> cop3rn1c:now terminal opened what to do there?
[16:24] <hwilde> !keytouch | zoidfarb
[16:25] <zoidfarb> hwilde, thanks, but that's not what I'm asking
[16:25] <zoidfarb> that's for keyboard shortcuts to launch apps
[16:25] <funkyHat> zoidfarb: it might be that the character you want can be typed using a deadkey... what is it?
[16:25] <zoidfarb> not to type special characters
[16:25] <zoidfarb> I want to type the interrobang (! and ? together)
[16:25] <yharrow> natsukashi, go to accessories > terminal
[16:25] <zoidfarb> it's unicode character 203D
[16:25] <c0p3rn1c> rai: ehm ask at #compiz-fusion
[16:26] <natsukashi> yharrow: Done, what should I write?
[16:26] <Pici> zoidfarb: See System>Preferences>Keyboard, iirc theres a setting in there for dead keys.
[16:26] <yharrow> natsukashi, sudo aptitude install startupmanager
[16:26] <zoidfarb> Pici, thanks
[16:26] <zoidfarb> lemme see
[16:27] <yharrow> then enter yoru password
[16:27] <natsukashi> Done~
[16:27] <c0p3rn1c> I just removed the package ubuntu-mythtv-frontend but the mythtv user account still tries to login, any idea's ?
[16:28] <zoidfarb> Pici, nothing under layouts seems to let me actually manually choose a unicode character
[16:28] <zoidfarb> Pici, it lets me choose pre-existing layouts, but that's all
[16:28] <zoidfarb> not create/customize my own layout
[16:28] <zoidfarb> Pici, do you know if the keyboard layouts are specified in a config file somewhere?
[16:29] <yharrow> natsukashi, installed?
[16:29] <natsukashi> yharrow: yes, and I opened it up. But windows doesn't show up in the list. ;_;
[16:29] <yharrow> ok, so we probably need to add it. :s
[16:30] <dopxminx> how can i enable the root account?

[16:32] <SEVILLA> hanasaki: right click and select play in
[16:32] <yharrow> natsukashi, ok apparently we are going to need to edit your menu.lst file.

[16:44] <flice> hi
[16:44] <flice> is there a good x264 encoding frontend for Linux?
[16:44] <max82fr> hi guys
[16:44] <max82fr> Please. Is there an equivalent of task manager in Ubuntu????
[16:44] <scunizi_> flice: handbreak
[16:44] <rai> ﻿funkyHat:now i got the normal window
[16:45] <magnetron> flice→ excuse me, what do you mean by "frontend"? there are a lot of tools for encoding x264.
[16:45] <daftykins> max82fr, click System -> Administration -> System Monitor
[16:45] <yharrow> natsukashi,  what version of windows do you have?
[16:45] <max82fr> Please. Is there an equivalent of task manager in Ubuntu????
[16:45] <flice> magnetron: I mean gui

[16:45] <magnetron> !repeat | max82fr
[16:45] <daftykins> FYI "x264" *is* an open source H.264 frontend, it is not an encoder in and of itself
[16:45] <flice> magnetron: tried avidemux, it's too buggy
[16:45] <yharrow> natsukashi, ok open a new terminal and type "mount"

[16:47] <daftykins> download "handbrake"

[16:47] <scunizi_> flice: handbrake.fr
[16:47] <magnetron> flice: oh, from DVD? try ogmrip
[16:47] <salvia> any idea how to build those routes between interfaces?

[16:48] <flice> SEVILLA: what has "disk usage manager" to do with my question?
[16:48] <daftykins> jelly12gen, he's long since gone
[16:48] <Comrade-Sergei> how do you setuop FTP to let only my user get in?
[16:49] <saurabh> i have ubuntu 8.10 and vista as guest on virtual box: how to use the sharde folder:
[16:49] <daftykins> FTP is insecure, you really don't want to use that
[16:49] <scunizi_> saurabh: check in #vbox.. there's some setup to do
[16:49] <daftykins> use SCP instead
[16:49] <flice> magnetron: I guess the options available in avidemux are good enough for me
[16:49] <SEVILLA> flice: yeah i just noticed your talking about something different my bad
[16:49] <lupine_85> Hiya. I've got a system running intrepid and it's not including /dev/md* in the initramfs
[16:49] <lupine_85> any suggestions?
[16:50] <SEVILLA> flice: just trying to help
[16:50] <saurabh> <scunizii: have made a shared folder but wat is its adderss on vista
[16:50] <flice> magnetron: I have already picked up all the options I need and would like the rest to be set to meaningful defaults. avidemux is great in this, but it's too buggy
[16:50] <scunizi_> saurabh: see previous post
[16:51] <yharrow> natsukashi, type "sudo mkdir /media/windows"
[16:51] <Omatic> Hi, how can you format a drive like a flash disk
[16:52] <w00kee> omatic : use gparted
[16:52] <yharrow> natsukashi, ok?
[16:52] <daftykins> Omatic, as in *actually* format one?
[16:52] <funkyHat> Omatic: use gparted (when installed it is in Applications > System Tools > Partition Editor)
[16:52] <natsukashi> Yeah, I think I mistyped the password
[16:52] <natsukashi> trying again~
[16:52] <yharrow> natsukashi, kk
[16:53] <funkyHat> Wait no it's not
[16:53] <daftykins> system -> administration
[16:53] <bl4kdev1l> miekina acabo de entrar y ya veo un host de codetel
[16:53] <natsukashi> yharrow: mkdir: cannot create directory `/media/windows': File exists
[16:53] <salvia> I'm trying to build route between vlan interface that is on eth interface (eth is 10.0.1.67, the vlan is 10.10.0.10) to the network that is on the eth interface.
[16:53] <funkyHat> Omatic: actually it turns out it's in System > Administration > Partition Editor
[16:53] <hunt577> Hey everyone
[16:53] <Omatic> ok a read-only filesystem, I tried gparted to no avail
[16:54] <Omatic> funkyHat, ^^
[16:54] <mysticdarkhack> hello all
[16:54] <funkyHat> Omatic: is there a switch on the drive?
[16:54] <daftykins> Omatic,  what do you mean read only file system? the USB key is mounted read only?
[16:55] <flice> daftykins: is this repository good? https://launchpad.net/~handbrake-ubuntu/+archive/ppa
[16:55] <Omatic> daftykins, exactly
[16:55] <mysticdarkhack> Anyone know is there a way to install kde separetely from gnome with different settings
[16:55] <scunizi_> Omatic: you have to unmount to use gparted and format
[16:55] <daftykins> flice if you are having trouble installing the .deb just ask and i can tell you how to do it
[16:55] <Omatic> funkyHat, how do I tell whether there's a swictch
[16:55] <Pici> mysticdarkhack: What do you mean by different settings?
[16:55] <daftykins> there's no need to use a repo
[16:55] <saurabh> how to use pen drive in virtual box
[16:56] <flice> daftykins: no problem with that, I just like to have everything in repositories, so that I receive updates
[16:56] <funkyHat> Omatic: I mean an actual switch, like you get on an SD card (although that's not an actual switch, but anyway...)
[16:56] <scunizi_> saurabh: if you used the repo to install vbox then you have no usb support.  you need to install the version from their websire
[16:56] <scunizi_> *site
[16:56] <daftykins> flice i really don't think it's a program worth updating
[16:56] <daftykins> but i'm afraid i've no idea on that repo's integrity
[16:57] <saurabh> how to use pen drive in virtual box
[16:57] <daftykins> it's up to you
[16:57] <flice> daftykins: hmm, why? every program has bugs and gets feature updates (if it's maintained)
[16:57] <yharrow> natsukashi, type "ls -d /media/windwos"
[16:57] <yharrow> natsukashi, type "ls -d /media/windows"
[16:57] <yharrow> natsukashi, sorry first had a typo
[16:57] <daftykins> saurabh, i don't think it's easy, if it even supports it properly yet
[16:57] <daftykins> either google a guide or get vmware :P
[16:58] <mysticdarkhack> Pici, what I meant is I'm on gnome desktop right now, so hoping to install kde desktop on the same drive but with different setting
[16:58] <natsukashi> yharrow: Done
[16:58] <scunizi_> daftykins: it's supported only in the version directly from vbox
[16:58] <daftykins> flice just in my experience apps such as that are quite sensitive to upgrading and can be broken easily
[16:58] <mysticdarkhack> Pici, sorry if that doesn't make any since
[16:58] <yharrow> natsukashi, ok what was the feedback?
[16:58] <daftykins> virtualbox rather than virtualbox_ose? ah yes i remember now
[16:58] <maxagaz_> can soomeone suggest me a good touchscreen with good linux support ?
[16:58] <natsukashi> yharrow: /media/windows in bold blue text
[16:58] <Pici> mysticdarkhack: Just install the kubuntu-desktop package
[16:58] <Dreamglider> funkyHat: what will dd print when it's done cloning ?
[16:58] <saurabh> how to use pen drive in virtual box
[16:58] <flice> daftykins: I can agree with that. I wish it was maintained in Ubuntu
[16:59] <venai> mluví tady někdo česky
[16:59] <scunizi_> saurabh: stop.. why are you asking virtual box questions here.. you've been told to /join #vbox
[16:59] <hunt577> I had ubuntu running through virtualbox through Windows Vista on my new HP laptop, but my microphone would not work on it at all.  Tried going in to change settings but none of them worked.  Mic works fine on Windows Vista.  Any suggestions?
[16:59] <daftykins> to be honest not a lot of stuff works as it should in Ubuntu
[16:59] <ADC> Hello everyone. I have ubuntu 8.10 installed. I am using gnome with it. I am currently using xrdp so that I can access the ubuntu server from my vista machine using rdp. Sometimes when i click on something the session crashes. I think its X crashing. Anyone know where I could look to figure out why the session is crashing.
[16:59] <funkyHat> Dreamglider: it will print a line or two about how many MB per seconds it was transferring at and some other stuff, I can't remember exactly what it prints
[16:59] <yubuntu> how do you kill a full screen application
[16:59] <daftykins> hunt577,  why would you want to use a microphone in a virtual machine?
[17:00] <yuri_> magnetron: im not having any luck. i have disconnected my ide devices and tried switching from SATA to AHCI and still get the same error.
[17:00] <Dreamglider> funkyHat: Ok thanks
[17:00] <scunizi_> yubuntu: game?
[17:00] <hunt577> daftykins, I wanted to make sure it would work
[17:00] <yharrow> natsukashi,  "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda0 /media/sda0"
[17:00] <daftykins> yubuntu, in terminal, "ps -ef | grep appname" followed by "kill -9 $processID
[17:00] <hunt577> daftykins, I plan to actually do a dual boot of vista and ubuntu eventually, but virtualbox allows me to test out ubuntu
[17:00] <daftykins> hunt577, virtualisation inserts a *LAYER* between the real hardware and the operating system, there is no way you can test ubuntu works on your PC *natively* by running it under virtualbox
[17:01] <daftykins> it simply doesn't work that way
[17:01] <magnetron> yuri_→ i'm out of ideas. direct your answer to the channel for any further help.
[17:01] <smiles> y would u need to dual boot with windows unless u going to play video games
[17:01] <yubuntu> there was an easier way, someone told me: press alt + F2 and type kill something
[17:01] <daftykins> that's the same thing yubuntu , but you must know the process ID of the app first
[17:01] <yuri_> magnetron: ok. ty for the help
[17:01] <flice> daftykins: I guess that's the price we have to pay for frequent releases
[17:01] <funkyHat> hunt577: run the live CD, if the live CD works it will work installed (also it might work installed if the live CD doesn't work)
[17:01] <hunt577> daftykins, so do you think it would work then if I had the real OS installed?
[17:01] <daftykins> or you can run System -> administration -> system monitor
[17:01] <mysticdarkhack> I wonder if compiz can be enable in virtual desk from vista or xp running ubuntu in vmware or virtualbox
[17:01] <natsukashi> yharrow: ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/sda0': No such file or directory
[17:01] <natsukashi> Please type '/sbin/mount.ntfs --help' for more information.
[17:01] <yubuntu> no all i had to do was click on it
[17:01] <hunt577> thanks funkyHat
[17:02] <hunt577> I will do that
[17:02] <daftykins> hunt577, the benefit of ubuntu and Linux in general is the ability to boot the LiveCD and test a lot of stuff - just boot the CD and try it out
[17:02] <yubuntu> the cursor turned into an X
[17:02] <daftykins> mysticdarkhack, no, it requires hardware support for graphics
[17:02] <yharrow> natsukashi,  "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/sda1"
[17:02] <daftykins> virtualisation programs do not allow graphics acceleration
[17:02] <hunt577> I tried the livecd before, didn't test the mic, but I know it doesn't recognize my wireless card so I have to figure a way to get the driver for it....and since I am so new to linux, the tutorials I was reading looked greek to me as far as how to download the driver
[17:02] <daftykins> well, other than maybe vmware fusion on OS X
[17:02] <daftykins> (macs)
[17:02] <smokinjoe> Can anybody tell me how to enable 3D Accelleration?
[17:03] <mysticdarkhack> Daft_Punk, I figure that but would be nice if there a way
[17:03] <ADC> Hello everyone. I have ubuntu 8.10 installed. I am using gnome with it. I am currently using xrdp so that I can access the ubuntu server from my vista machine using rdp. Sometimes when i click on something the session crashes. I think its X crashing. Anyone know where I could look to figure out why the session is crashing.
[17:03] <daftykins> hunt577, what is your wireless device?
[17:03] <yubuntu> daftykins,
[17:03] <smokinjoe> !3d
[17:03] <sznurek_pl> ADC: try /var/log/Xorg.log.0
[17:03] <smokinjoe> !playonlinux
[17:04] <hunt577> daftykins, its an Atheras AR252
[17:04] <daftykins> ah not familiar with atheros hardware i'm afraid
[17:04] <yharrow> natsukashi, failed right?
[17:04] <daftykins> wireless is a tough one even when hardware support works!
[17:04] <hunt577> daftykins, neither is ubuntu lol
[17:04] <yharrow> natsukashi, the second command i gave u
[17:04] <rai> compiz config not working
[17:04] <monreal> how can make dpkg overwrite existing files from a package when re-installing?
[17:04] <natsukashi> yharrow: yes
[17:05] <daftykins> monreal, "man dpkg"
[17:05] <yharrow> natsukashi,  "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /media/sda2"
[17:05] <Dreamglider> smokinjoe: have a look in System -> Administration > Hardware drivers, could be you can activate the 3d drivers from there
[17:05] <yharrow> natsukashi, how many hard drives doyou have
[17:05] <mysticdarkhack> ubuntuguide probably have a setting for atheros
[17:05] <dkerschner> anyone know how to set default file permissions for sftp/scp users? I'm not sure where to stick the umask like
[17:05] <natsukashi> but that's because I added an extra space I believe, I just tried the first one and removed the space between /dev/sda0 /media/sda0
[17:06] <natsukashi> yharrow: I have 2 of them, but only one shows up. And the one that shows up isn't the one with windows
[17:06] <corey> how do i emtpy the temp folder?
[17:06] <yharrow> natsukashi, the second hard drive has windows?
[17:06] <daftykins> corey,  /tmp ? "rm -rf /tmp/* "
[17:06] <natsukashi> yharrow: Yes. My C:/ has windows. But only D:/ is showing up
[17:07] <yuri_> would an IDE cable that is plugged into the mobo but not any devices still try to read something?
[17:07] <yharrow> natsukashi,  "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb0 /media/sda0" try this. don't remove the space between sdb0 and /media
[17:07] <daftykins> yuri_,  no
[17:07] <hunt577> What version of ubuntu would you guys recommend me download?
[17:07] <Dreamglider> hunt577:  8.10 :)
[17:07] <hunt577> the 32 bit version dreamglider?
[17:07] <yharrow> hunt577,  the latest stable version is 8.10
[17:07] <daftykins> there's no such thing as "sda0"
[17:08] <daftykins> you can't have a partition 0 afaik
[17:08] <Dreamglider> hunt577: yes if your system is 32bit
[17:08] <hunt577> thanks yharrow
[17:08] <yharrow> daftykins, thanks for that tip
[17:08] <corey> is it bad to type in terminal "sudo rm -rf /tmp/*
[17:08] <ADC> Hello everyone. I have ubuntu 8.10 installed. I am using gnome with it. I am currently using xrdp so that I can access the ubuntu server from my vista machine using rdp. Sometimes when i click on something the session crashes. I think its X crashing. Anyone know where I could look to figure out why the session is crashing. I have tried looking at /var/log/xorg.0.log but do not really know what I am looking for
[17:08] <daftykins> natsukashi, type "sudo fdisk -l" for a list of devices and partitions
[17:08] <yharrow> daftykins, that was the command i was looknig for >>
[17:08] <corey> is it bad to type in terminal "sudo rm -rf /tmp/*
[17:08] <hunt577> thanks dreamglider
[17:08] <hunt577> and yharrow
[17:09] <yharrow> natsukashi, daftykins  can probably help you better than i can.
[17:09] <daftykins> it's funny, i come here and i feel like i know stuff about Linux again, yet when i try to make it work for me i still get no end of trouble :D
[17:09] <Dreamglider> hunt577: Np
[17:09] <Akkernight> What channel should I join to talk about Game Development and Ubuntu ?
[17:09] <daftykins> anyone ever feel that way?
[17:09] <scunizi_>  corey that will remove everything in the /tmp directory
[17:09] <yharrow> daftykins, all i know is that i thought i knew linux, but i know until i can modify the kernel, i relay dont.
[17:09] <Dreamglider> daftykins: i do :P
[17:09] <daftykins> very true yharrow  :)
[17:10] <daftykins> as soon as i started using genkernel under Gentoo, i knew i wasn't good enough to use Gentoo
[17:10] <natsukashi> daftykins: only one Hard Drive shows up. o:
[17:10] <hunt577> Dreamglider, just sick and tired of Vista using up all my free memory...I literally only have about 10 MB of free memory on a 3 GB RAM computer because Vista caches it all
[17:10] <daftykins> natsukashi, sorry i missed the start, what's the problem?
[17:10] <corey> is it bad to type in terminal "sudo rm -rf /tmp/*
[17:10] <daftykins> lol corey  checks that i'm a good person
[17:10] <LjL> corey: it can be, if programs are holding stuff there.
[17:11] <LjL> corey: why would you do that anyway? it's done automatically on reboot
[17:11] <altrortla> hello... i got a trouble with a GUI ... this form show message form text with lower resolution... I can read what it said... I have also tryied to zoom this form .... and to reduce resolution of the screen... (but no way)
[17:11] <scunizi_> hunt577: linux had good memory management but you may find it also "looks" like it's eating a lot of it
[17:11] <Dreamglider> hunt577: i have never tried Vista, just XP and Ubuntu dualbooting :)
[17:11] <corey> daftykins: you are a stranger after all
[17:11] <altrortla> i have also an image of this problem
[17:11] <daftykins> :D
[17:11] <yharrow> daftykins, he can't boot into windows. windows was not listed in menu.lst, so i started trying to find out what the location of his windows partition is so that we can create the entry.
[17:11] <hunt577> oh ok scunizi_
[17:11] <daftykins> yeah no problem, i'd probably do the same corey
[17:11] <natsukashi> daftykins: I installed Ubuntu, and was thinking that it should dual boot. But it doesn't Only Ubuntu boots. And now one of my Hard Drives doesn't show up. o:
[17:11] <altrortla> this is what i've got .... http://picfront.de/uploaded.php?images=dARGbvmS0sn
[17:11] <levander> Did KVM every get any kind of feature whereby Windows can directly access the video card for hardware accelerated DirectX and OpenGL?
[17:11] <UncleD> I heard a guy had a mac system with windows in a virtual window. Can I lead ubuntu inside a virtual window?
[17:11] <hunt577> I just hope everything works this time and I don't run into wireless problems or problems with my mic not working
[17:11] <daftykins> ouch, failed multi-boot installs - painful
[17:12] <altrortla> on the right i have zoomed with kmag ... but the result is the same .... what should i do?
[17:12] <corey> daftykins: after all you could be  a 12yr old girl who wants to rape me
[17:12] <daftykins> double the age and you're close
[17:12] <daftykins> :D
[17:12] <yharrow> daftykins, here is his menu.lst. http://pastebin.com/m35385256 and here is his mtab http://pastebin.com/m19924c48
[17:12] <LjL> corey, daftykins gave you the correct answer to your question on how to empty /tmp. whether doing that can be a bad thing is an entirely different matter
[17:12] <Dreamglider> hunt577: ubuntu is using 300Mb of my 2gb so i'd say it's better than vista ;)
[17:12] <natsukashi> I would love to be raped by a 12 year old whom runs knows Linux, it would be pretty awesome.
[17:12] <daftykins> lol
[17:12] <Pici> Ahem.
[17:12] <lupine_85> OK, to be more precise - /dev/md* isn't created by default (despite udev being installed). If I mdadm --assemble manually in the initramfs then exit, it boots fine
[17:12] <daftykins> bit older maybe and i'd agree
[17:12] <lupine_85> what am I missing?
[17:12] <hunt577> lol Dramglider
[17:12] <Pimp> what??~
[17:12] <Pici> !stop
[17:13] <Akkernight> How hard would it be to get a OpenGL Game Engine my team is working on, on the Ubuntu Add/Remove 'system' ?

[17:15] <yharrow> levander, agreed
[17:15] <reyalp> In 8.10, I use the Darklooks theme & it looks/works great, but when i reboot the theme seems to reset to a very plain theme. I have to select another theme, then Darklooks again. Any thoughts on this?
[17:15] <daftykins> cheers yharrow
[17:15] <natsukashi> yharrow: Yeah, thanks for trying to help me! :D
[17:15] <yharrow> natsukashi, np man :)

[17:22] <buckethed> thanks daftykins
[17:22] <archman> Anyone using Skype on intrepid? Any reps?
[17:23] <Wayder> are you attempting to automount the SD card? =S
[17:23] <n2diy> is there a way to edit hidden files with gedit
[17:23] <daftykins> buckethed, once you turn on remote desktop, you'll need to connect using IP address:0 to say port number zero
[17:23] <daftykins> gedit should be able to edit hidden files fine
[17:23] <uniq_stitch> n2diy, yes
[17:23] <uniq_stitch> gedit /home/name/filename
[17:24] <Wayder> daftykins, that will depend on if the computer in question is not behind a firewall, if it is behind a firewall were vnc is actively being blocked you will have to configure a reverse ssh tunnel
[17:24] <uniq_stitch> n2diy, nano is cooler :D
[17:24] <n2diy> uniq_stitch, ok, thanks.
[17:24] <Wayder> nano ftw!
[17:24] <uniq_stitch> ftw ?
[17:24] <n2diy> uniq_stitch, an a PITA :)
[17:24] <Wayder> ftw = for the win!
[17:24] <Wayder> =)
[17:24] <uniq_stitch> oh lol
[17:25] <Akkernight> Does Ubuntu support SLI ?

[17:25] <Guiri> Hey I'm having some NIC problems. Our server reverts the settings to auto and 100half. I did a sudo ethtool -s eth0 duplex full. Any way to get that at boot??
[17:25] <Guiri> Or stop it from reverting?
[17:25] <Pici> uniq_stitch: Please disable that in this channel.
[17:25] <uniq_stitch> Pici, can you disable it for me I'm lazy
[17:26] <yubuntu> could anyone tell me how to kill a fullscreen game with your mouse?
[17:26] <Wayder> guiri, have you tried throwing that into the interface config file?
[17:26] <eddie1> helo
[17:26] <buba> I-m on ArtistX
[17:26] <Guiri> Wayder: where is that? /etc/interfaces?
[17:27] <smiles> yubuntu i dont think u can kill a full screen game with just ur mouse unless u mod it
[17:27] <yubuntu> there's a command smiles
[17:27] <saxin> Guiri: /etc/network/interfaces ?
[17:27] <yubuntu> alt + F2
[17:27] <Akkernight> Again. Does Ubuntu 64bit support SLI ?
[17:27] <gldtn> hello #ubuntu

[17:27] <altrortla> what should i do?
[17:27] <uniq_stitch> hello gldtn
[17:28] <daftykins> Akkernight, check the nvidia driver information on nvidia's website
[17:28] <Wayder> guiri, you can do a few things. =)
[17:28] <daftykins> then you'll know what it supports
[17:28] <Wayder> let me check my config for a second
[17:28] <daftykins> Ubuntu 64-bit (amd64) will no doubt not support SLI with the default driver
[17:28] <yubuntu> could anyone tell me how to kill a fullscreen game with your mouse?
[17:29] <Wayder> /etc/network/interfaces
[17:29] <yubuntu> there's something stopping my mouse from getting into the Nexuiz game, could anyone help?

[17:30] <gldtn> hey I ran into something on the internet and it's kind of funny to me because I did not get it what it has to do with Linux.. it's a router : http://linksysbycisco.com/US/en/products/WRT54GL have anyone seen this?
[17:30] <danopia> hi
[17:30] <Wayder> guiri, /etc/network/interfaces check that out, and there is an associated manual for the configuration of the file.
[17:30] <Akkernight> I'm on the nvidia homepage, I can't see anything that has anything to do with Linux or Ubuntu
[17:31] <Dark_Fire> Hello guys
[17:31] <Wayder> howdy
[17:31] <eddie1> hi
[17:31] <Wayder> http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
[17:31] <QaDeS> lol
[17:31] <Dark_Fire> hey Wayder, wats up?
[17:31] <gldtn> Akkernight, what are you trying to do?
[17:31] <Akkernight> See if Ubuntu supports SLI
[17:32] <QaDeS> gldtn: i think they're just being stupid
[17:32] <Wayder> workin lol. or hardly workin =)
[17:32] <daftykins> Akkernight,  you have to browse websites yourself, they can't read our minds yet fortunately ;)
[17:32] <QaDeS> never herad of an operating system specific router (i.e. piece of network hardware)
[17:32] <daftykins> </marilyn manson on family guy> ;)
[17:32] <Akkernight> Linux AMD64/EM64T how do I see if I use AMD64 xP
[17:33] <Wayder> I have never heard of a OS spec router
[17:33] <misblay> i'm having ntrld is missing error from my xp after grub installation
[17:33] <misblay> why is this?
[17:33] <gldtn> QaDeS, yeah I didn't expect that from cisco lol.. plus they don't even describe why its called a linux router
[17:33] <daftykins> 64-bit XP would say so in the system properties
[17:33] <daftykins> ntldr misblay , sounds like your windows bootloader has broken
[17:33] <Akkernight> I think I installed Ubuntu for AMD64, but I have Pentium if I remember right, is it possible to download Ubuntu for specific processors?
[17:33] <yubuntu> could anyone please help me with getting NEXUIZ to work with ubuntu
[17:33] <QaDeS> weöö, the router's software is based on linux
[17:33] <Guiri> Wayder: seems to be a MODE setting. Maybe I'll try MODE full and see if ti boots :-)
[17:33] <misblay> daftykins, but i havent done anything
[17:33] <QaDeS> like on about all serious routers
[17:33] <daftykins> Akkernight,  AMD64 means 64-bit, not AMD only
[17:33] <namai> help me :(
[17:33] <misblay> just installed xp and then setup grub on ubuntu
[17:33] <misblay> what should i do?
[17:33] <daftykins> misblay, did you install ubuntu, ubuntu works but that's what you get told if you try and boot Windows?
[17:33] <JPohlmann> Hey guys. I'm installing Jaunty on my brother's laptop right now. Does anyone know how I can reconfigure X to use the fglrx driver?
[17:33] <Akkernight> ahh.. I see ÐÐ
[17:33] <namai> wery wery help
[17:33] <Akkernight> ^^*
[17:33] <Wayder> lol. linux router? it is most likely that the software it runs off is based OFF linux =)
[17:34] <rdw200169> yah, the only reason they call it amd64 is b/c amd came out w/it first
[17:34] <Wayder> guiri, make the changes in the config file and restart the daemon (:
[17:34] <daftykins> JPohlmann, i have read that jaunty uses a new X.Org which doesn't support nvidia or fglrx drivers right now
[17:34] <namai> I have 1 bug with mouse
[17:34] <JPohlmann> daftykins: Seriously?
[17:34] <daftykins> yes
[17:34] <gldtn> Wayder, they should've specified more in their page
[17:34] <buckethed> i ran "sudo chroot /mnt"  how do i get to another users home directory?  ex. /home/ubuntu
[17:34] <Akkernight> Pidgin is horrible, how do I connect to MSN?
[17:34] <JPohlmann> Uh. So, can I get GLX working with the open source drivers for ATI?

[17:35] <daftykins> Akkernight,  i use "emesene"

[17:35] <namai> mouse is strange
[17:35] <urnumdei> I'm having problems accessing a device through usb on 8.10.  Can anyone help?
[17:35] <Akkernight> can't find emesene on Add/Remove
[17:35] <blistov1> how do i install a 2.6.28 kernel in ubuntu... the ubuntu way?
[17:35] <gldtn> daftykins, do you have a link for that jaunty article? I would like to follow that closely since I have nvidia
[17:35] <SEVILLA> SonhadorPR: capasa
[17:35] <nado> hi there
[17:36] <yubuntu> could someone PLEASE tell me how to kill a full screen game with your mouse?
[17:36] <urnumdei> I'm having problems accessing a device through usb on 8.10.  Can anyone help?
[17:36] <daftykins> the article saying jaunty doesn't support fglrx and nvidia something or other?
[17:36] <Wayder> ... throw the mouse at your motherboard?
[17:36] <misblay> daftykins, http://pastebin.com/m48f07ce7
[17:36] <misblay> btw, as i set up grub, it didnt recognize that installed xp, and i've added the xp lines manually..
[17:36] <namai> :(
[17:36] <Akkernight> ok, found aMSN and Emesene, which one is better?
[17:36] <SonhadorPR> Quick question: which app does anyone recomend for ripping Music CDs in different formats? For some reason Kaffeine is only ripping in OGG, I have an Cell phone/MP3 player that wont play OGG
[17:36] <misblay> daftykins, and my xp is installed on sda4
[17:36] <nado> i'd like to use some of my favorite kde apps under gnome. will loading the qt libs cause any serious performance issues?
[17:37] <Pici> nado: Nope, it will be fine.
[17:37] <gldtn> daftykins, yes.. also I just seen on their page that there lastest version is 1.80, I use 1.77 how can I get 1.80 to install?
[17:37] <daftykins> under ubuntu you don't install nvidia's own drivers from their website really, gldtn
[17:37] <scunizi_> SonhadorPR: try ripperx.. it's in the repos
[17:37] <nado> Pici: great, thanks
[17:38] <vineeth> hi
[17:38] <daftykins> misblay, that config looks ok, it must be correct to say (hd0,3) otherwise you probably wouldn't get as far as the ntldr error
[17:38] <daftykins> but i'm really not sure what's making it fail
[17:38] <yubuntu> could someone PLEASE tell me how to kill a full screen game with your mouse?
[17:38] <misblay> ok then, thanks..
[17:38] <Flipper> hi
[17:38] <gldtn> daftykins, oh i see
[17:38] <misblay> i'll reinstall xp
[17:38] <daftykins> misblay,  did you disconnect your ubuntu disk when you installed XP?
[17:38] <urnumdei> I'm having problems accessing a device through usb on 8.10.  Can anyone help?
[17:38] <Flipper> i have a ubuntu 64 bit and i find no flash player do you have an answer
[17:38] <Flipper> pls
[17:39] <scunizi_> daftykins: sda3.. isn't that (hd0,2) since grub starts counting at 0?
[17:39] <magnetron> !flash64 | Flipper
[17:39] <SonhadorPR> scunizi_: Thank you...I shall try that one.
[17:39] <buckethed> how do i get to another users home directory after doing chroot?  ex. /home/ubuntu
[17:39] <Akkernight> Nvidia Geforce 9800GT is supported by Ubuntu, right?
[17:39] <vineeth> i upgraded my linux kernol now both version shows in boot how can i delete older version from boot loader
[17:39] <daftykins> Scunizi, i've no idea about GRUB to be honest
[17:39] <daftykins> feel free to suggest that to him
[17:39] <Flipper> is thath for ubuntu 8.10 64 bit
[17:39] <n2diy> my roommate is trying to duel boot his XP box, and he is at the import settings page, and regardless of what he selects, or doesn't select, he can't access the forward button, his only option is to cancel, what gives?
[17:40] <scunizi_> daftykins: too late.. looks like he's gone
[17:40] <Flipper> thx for the support iam gonne try it
[17:40] <andre_pl> Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has any experience tying into ubuntu's new notification system (as of jaunty) is the api the same as before? I used to be abelt o use a python script to pop up messages.
[17:40] <vineeth> helooo
[17:42] <Pici> andre_pl: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty/9.04 support/discussion.
[17:42] <vineeth> pls help me to delete older version from grub
[17:42] <Sisqdave> Hi all, I am wondering if anybody has come across boot issues and the folder /dev/by-uuid missing completely?
[17:42] <Sisqdave> sure vineeth
[17:42] <daftykins> vineeth,  older version of ubuntu?
[17:43] <vineeth> no older version of linux kernol
[17:43] <daftykins> isn't /dev a dynamic directory created by udev? so it's not really data?
[17:43] <scunizi_> Sisqdave: might be that there is a listing in fstab that either doesn't have a uuid number or the wrong one.. you can get the right numbers with sudo blkid and compare them to what's in fstab
[17:43] <daftykins> ah ok sure vineeth, what is the contents of your /boot directory?
[17:43] <dkerschner> brandon: /part
[17:43] <dkerschner> ..
[17:43] <dkerschner> whoops
[17:45] <n2diy> my roommate is trying to duel boot his XP box, and he is at the migrate settings page, and regardless of what he selects, or doesn't select, he can't access the forward button, his only option is to cancel, what gives?
[17:45] <daftykins> ah i think i've heard of that as being a bug
[17:45] <Akkernight> what application should I use to open .run files? I downloaded this file from nvidia.com
[17:46] <regac> #ubuntu
[17:46] <daftykins> Akkernight, did it say it supports SLI or no?
[17:46] <Akkernight> I dunno, didn't read it xP
[17:46] <daftykins> tbh even if ubuntu does support SLI, what are you going to try and run? :D
[17:46] <Akkernight> if it doesn't there ain't anything I can do
[17:46] <evantandersen> is there a list of ubottu commands for IRC?
[17:46] <Akkernight> And I don't really need SLI, since I won't be running games on Ubuntu xP
[17:47] <daftykins> i would suggest you don't try and install the driver, it's not likely worth your time trying to get SLI working
[17:47] <scunizi_> Akkernight: are you trying to install a nvidia driver?
[17:47] <daftykins> yeah exactly
[17:47] <Akkernight> yup
[17:47] <daftykins> i don't think it's worth him bothering Scunizi
[17:47] <daftykins> * scunizi_
[17:47] <Akkernight> Ubuntu doesn't find it on the hardware manager or whatever it was
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> !commands
[17:48] <Sisqdave> Hi all, I am wondering if anybody has come across boot issues and the folder /dev/by-uuid missing completely? I have had to change my disk UUID to /dev/sda4 in my menu.lst file
[17:48] <scunizi_> Akkernight: you mean there's nothing listed in hardware manager or you don't like what's presented there?
[17:48] <genis3ll> Can someone recommend me a good ubuntu irc client? Thanks
[17:48] <daftykins> genis3ll, tried xchat ?
[17:49] <imfluxible> i installed ub 8.10 on my friends emachines T3646, and seem to be getting lots of misbehaviors i wonder if anyone can help me troubleshoot.  they apparently play a lot of board games online at pogo.com, so if anyone has any experience using that site maybe you will relate.  to enable the games we had to install a java 6 alternative, which i think i did correctly yesterday from community doc...
[17:49] <scunizi_> genis3ll: xchat, irssi
[17:49] <daftykins> ugly but does the job
[17:49] <Sisqdave> this works but it gives me errors at boot
[17:49] <imfluxible> ...instructions.  the games did work yesterday as they were supposed to, but today when she booted up she had several problems... the games wouldn't work, her gnome panel (with applications, places, and system) would not appear persistently (it dissappears), and she says the browser freezes up.  also the window bars do not appear on her windows so cannot move , resize or 'X' out .... any ideas?
[17:49] <imfluxible> also she says many things on her aol mail interface would not function, various buttons
[17:49] <Kelen> i installed a theme packages, but couldn't find it in theme's list. any one could help me?
[17:49] <genis3ll> scunizi_: No, thanks
[17:49] <ironfoot_495> Hello I need to know how to start all over and install localhost and apache mysql  all over.
[17:49] <Akkernight> scumizi_ the newest version of the Nvidia driver ain't shown in the Hardware Drivers thing
[17:49] <daftykins> sounds like you enabled desktop effects imfluxible  ?
[17:50] <Flipper> maybe its a stupid question but i want to set the file for flash in the folder ande ubuntu sai iam not the owner of the computer do you know a way to give ma all the rights
[17:50] <ironfoot_495> what is the easiest way?
[17:50] <genis3ll> Thanks
[17:50] <scunizi_> Akkernight: of course not.. it's not stable.. and there are issues with 180.35 so I wouldn't go there.. have you tried the ones in hardware manager and do they work for you?  if so stick with them.
[17:50] <daftykins> Flipper, what do you mean "flash in a folder" ?
[17:51] <Akkernight> I think the ones in Hardware Drivers worked, dunno really, but I'm going AFK now!
[17:51] <daftykins> i'm running the nvidia 177 drivers from the "Hardware Drivers" section on an nvidia 8800GT with 2 x 1920x1200 LCD's over DVI @ once
[17:51] <daftykins> works ok
[17:51] <Flipper> the plugin for flash player i want to copy to usr/mozilla/plugins i donth have the right he sais iam not the owner
[17:51] <daftykins> *strokes compiz* ;)
[17:51] <Flipper> sorry my english is not so good iam from belguim
[17:52] <Xanax09>  try it in the terminal with the sudo command ?
[17:52] <daftykins> "sudo ln -s /flash/plugin /destination/folder"
[17:52] <scunizi_> daftykins: you're lucky.. my 8200 card and chipset work acceptable only on 180.29 so far. 177 was like walking through molassis
[17:52] <daftykins> (symbolic link, you don't need to copy the file)
[17:52] <gotcha> what's the difference between ln -s and cp?
[17:52] <daftykins> gotcha,  "ln -s" creates a sort of shortcut
[17:52] <daftykins> it's called a symbolic link
[17:52] <daftykins> it's kind of link shortcuts in Windows, but not really
[17:52] <gotcha> so u dont really copy it there?
[17:52] <nibbler> gotcha: one makes a symbolic link, this need so space on disk. other makes a copy
[17:53] <daftykins> nope, you just let it 'appear' in the destination folder
[17:53] <nibbler> so=no
[17:53] <gotcha> ah kay, and when the file gets deletet
[17:53] <gotcha> the original
[17:53] <gotcha> the symbolic link doesnt work anymore?
[17:53] <nibbler> the link gets dead
[17:53] <daftykins> Flipper, are you running 32-bit? you really shouldn't have needed to do the plugin manually, if this is for firefox
[17:53] <gotcha> ah, kay, thx
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> gotcha: if you delete the file, you will have a broken symlink
[17:54] <Flipper> is thath in the archiver or in the terminal window
[17:54] <daftykins> there's a third one too isn't there? hard links or something
[17:54] <daftykins> which makes a copy, and if ever you update one, it updates the other?
[17:54] <daftykins> no idea how to make one though ^_^
[17:54] <Akkernight> How do I download GCC? I remember using something else than Add/Remove when I did it back in the day...
[17:55] <Sisqdave> this works but it gives me errors at boot
[17:55] <Sisqdave> Hi all, I am wondering if anybody has come across boot issues and the folder /dev/by-uuid missing completely? I have had to change my disk UUID to /dev/sda4 in my menu.lst file
[17:55] <nado> can somebody tell me if there's a default shortcut for windows+c? i want to bind it to amarok, but it does not respond
[17:55] <daftykins> Akkernight, seriously, i recommend you stop trying to install that nvidia driver
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> daftykins: yes hard links but if you delete the file i think the link gets removed but they take up equal space to that which is linked
[17:55] <Akkernight> I'm not trying to install the driver o.O I'm trying to start programming xP
[17:55] <daftykins> indeed
[17:55] <daftykins> lol
[17:55] <daftykins> there's no need to lie?
[17:55] <daftykins> i just don't know why you're bothering
[17:56] <daftykins> i won't help someone that ignores my advice and wastes their time and mine
[17:56] <daftykins> Sisqdave, i don't really see any problem in referring to a disk by that instead of UUID, just carry on as-is ?
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> Akkernight: if you want to compile, install build-essential
[17:57] <Akkernight> Where did I get it? Some download manager?
[17:58] <daftykins> open terminal
[17:58] <daftykins> "sudo apt-get install build-essential" :P
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> Akkernight: what daftykins said
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> Akkernight: you will then be ready to code in C and C++
[17:59] <daftykins> if he were doing that ;)
[17:59] <yuri_> i think im dealing with a damaged sata drive.
[18:00] <Akkernight> ok, awsome ^^
[18:00] <daftykins> actually mind you, step #1 of nvidia driver install = stop X, so maybe he really is learning C :D
[18:00] <andreaja> You must run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.28-8-server (i686) first. <- how do I do that?
[18:00] <Kriss3d> hmm anyone know why wow with wine in ubuntu isnt nearly as good graphics as when i run in windows ?
[18:00] <jorge__> Hi guys,  anyone around knows or use virtual DJ software?
[18:00] <Akkernight> daftykins you talking about me?
[18:00] <daftykins> Kriss3d,  because WINE doesn't support the latest DirectX version
[18:00]  * Python1320 Now playing: 10d03.mp3 (2:17 - 5271 frames) [44100 hz,96 kbps,stereo]
[18:00] <daftykins> so it doesn't have all the latest graphical features
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> jorge__: like frooty loops?
[18:00] <daftykins> nah nobody Akkernight  ^_^
[18:01] <jelly12gen> daftykins: wine is just running after windows
[18:01] <jorge__> something like that bro, but this one is dj virtual pro.
[18:01] <Akkernight> Well, I'm used to coding C++ xP Now imma make a OpenGL Game Engine with my team ;)
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> Kriss3d: make sure you have the latest drivers and wine from the wine repos
[18:01] <yuri_> i think im dealing with a damaged sata drive. it will not let me boot up any nix unless I disconect it. it registers in bios but tells me its too slow to respond when i boot up. what do you guys think it is, the drive, sata cable, power cable, mobo(unlikely, i have an identical hdd that works fine)
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> Kriss3d: you need to patch wine to get it really nice
[18:01] <admin_masu3701> dont know what happen but i cant run sudo apt-get update or install or anything that required root password
[18:01] <daftykins> jelly12gen, i'm not sure what you're trying to tell me?
[18:01] <jorge__> I would like to know how to install it on my laptop who got ubuntu?

[18:10] <Kriss3d> uhmm ive tried to install the latest ati drivers for my HD 2600 ATI.. so far ive gotten my hands on a install file with the name .run
[18:10] <jorge__> Anyone?
[18:10] <Kriss3d> how to i actually run it ?
[18:10] <daftykins> Kriss3d, that's not how you install ATI drivers under ubuntu
[18:10] <daftykins> google a guide please
[18:10] <n2diy> I'm helping my friend install Ubuntu on his XP box, and it stall at page 6, the migrate data page?
[18:11] <Kriss3d> daftykins,  please do enlighten me.. note that its not the standard ubuntu but that should be ok
[18:11] <Kriss3d> it IS however based on ubuntu
[18:11] <kw0lf> hi
[18:12] <H3l1c0pt3r> !ati | Kriss3d
[18:12] <Kriss3d> ty
[18:12] <Kriss3d> ty
[18:12] <daftykins> Kriss3d,  not sure what the 'based on ubuntu' line is for?
[18:12] <Kriss3d> well.. its ubuntu i guess. its just pretty costumized..
[18:13] <n2diy> kw0lf, qsl?
[18:13] <patholio> cheers H3l1c0pt3r, i was after some ATI advice too
[18:13] <daftykins> no, what i'm trying to say is that most Linux distributions use package management
[18:13] <daftykins> so you should just let the autodetecting parts of Ubuntu install a proper ATI driver
[18:13] <daftykins> rather than going straight down the manual route
[18:13] <daftykins> what are you running at the moment? fglrx ?
[18:14] <kw0lf> n2diy: ?
[18:14] <Kriss3d> daftykins,  well that require the distro to have that included.. but those drivers linked by H3l1c0pt3r  seems to work
[18:14] <n2diy> kw0lf, your nick looks like a ham radio call sign
[18:14] <kw0lf> nope^^
[18:15] <imfluxible> daftykins:  yes, yes, i DID enable desktop effects!  issat the problem?  how do i UNenable?  why does it cause problems?
[18:15] <imfluxible> sorry i was bumped off don't know if you answered me yet

[18:23] <Pirate_Hunter> hi i am wondering is there any application that allows voice chat/call through the msn protocol?
[18:23] <LjL> Akkernight: i beg to differ, but whatever suits you
[18:23] <Xanax09> is there any media software equal to windows media center ?
[18:23] <admin_masu3701> LjL: here is wat i get: mchris:x:1000:1000:mchris,,,:/home/mchris:/bin/bash
[18:23] <LjL> Pirate_Hunter: amsn possibly, but i'm not sure
[18:23] <LjL> Xanax09: i have no idea what windows media center is like, can you describe it?
[18:23] <LjL> admin_masu3701: and mchris is your normal username?
[18:23] <admin_masu3701> yes
[18:23] <Pirate_Hunter> LjL, i ahve amsn but can't get voice chat, just find it too hard
[18:24] <martin__> admin_masu3701,  i need help with camera ID 17a1:0128 kolke
[18:24] <Lake> so I was wondering, I got public/private ssh auth working, anyway I could add password server-side challenge to that ?
[18:24] <Xanax09> its a app in windows where you can browse in you music / video files in a nice gui
[18:24] <Akkernight> Add the Skype repository*: deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free   What's that supposed to mean?
[18:24] <Ficthe> yeah Xanax09 -- Entertainer -- http://www.entertainer-project.com/
[18:24] <LjL> admin_masu3701: ok, i have no idea how this happened, but i know how to fix it. you'll have to reboot in recovery mode. that will give you root access. then you can add yourself to the needed groups - admin, for starters - by doing "adduser mchris admin"
[18:24] <Pirate_Hunter> LjL, do you know of anyother apps that could do the job
[18:24] <Xanax09> Fitcthe thanks !
[18:25] <LjL> admin_masu3701: i recommand also adding yourself to the following other groups: adm disk dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin fuse sambashare
[18:25] <Ficthe> Xanax09, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhWbNj0ndN8 for a video
[18:25] <Wayder> LjL, can he sudo bash?
[18:25] <Xanax09> Thanks it really looks awesome !
[18:25] <LjL> admin_masu3701: although once you've added yourself to the "admin" group, you can, if you prefer, just reboot and add yourself to those groups later using sudo
[18:25] <martin__> LjL,  I need help with this cam >>>>> ID 17a1:0128

[18:25] <Droopsta> How do I find out what I have? x86 or amd 64?
[18:26] <Slayer> Helps me plz................ :(. I want to have a russian keyboard layout, and want to know how to switch them.
[18:26] <daftykins> are you in Windows right now Droopsta  ?
[18:26] <joaopinto> Droopsta, uname -m
[18:26] <Droopsta> daftykins:yes
[18:26] <martin__> any one help with this cam >>>>>> ID 17a1:0128
[18:26] <Wayder> admin_masu, pretty much best solution is to login as the sudoer and sudo bash, if you don't have access to that on the localhost, your best bet is for a reinstall unless you are comfortable with safemode
[18:27] <daftykins> Droopsta, go to www.cpuid.org and download the program "CPU-Z" run it and look for 64-bit info in the instruction support field on the main tab it opens on
[18:27] <Slayer> There are 1455 people here! HELP ME
[18:27] <Lake> that looks like a cool interface
[18:27] <Droopsta> thanks
[18:27] <_VIM_> !helpme | Slayer
[18:27] <daftykins> Lake, Ficthe  that just looks like an XBMC clone
[18:27] <LjL> martin__: in 2007, that webcam wasn't supported, though a driver was being developed. i don't know about now.
[18:28] <Lake> daftykins: never saw XBMC interface, you may be right
[18:28] <admin_masu3701> wayder: i am really not good at safe mode
[18:28] <Slayer> allright, ubottu, thanks. I just really need the help
[18:28] <Lake> Slayer: have you explored the Settings - Administrations - Keyboard ?
[18:28] <daftykins> i watched some TV on my xbox1 just earlier ^_^
[18:28] <Ficthe> daftykins, I'm not familiar with it -- but the interface of such media applications is bound to be related one way or another
[18:28] <_VIM_> Slayer: if someone knows the answer they will respond :)
[18:28] <martin__> LjL,  Tnx
[18:28] <daftykins> i was thinking more "looks" as in the backend, not the skin/theme
[18:28] <daftykins> but yeah i know what you mean
[18:28] <admin_masu3701> LjL: so how to i reboot in recovery or safe mode?
[18:29] <Slayer> Lake - settings - ADMININSTRATORS? Dont have that. I'm on Ubuntu Desktop 8.10... Maybe it was badly translated with me
[18:29] <defrysk> :/
[18:29] <Tpg> hey lads, this may sound like a stupid question but which version of the Linux kernel does Ubuntu use exactly?
[18:29] <LjL> admin_masu3701: do you see a boot menu when you power on your computer, just after the BIOS hands off control, and just before the Ubuntu logo shows up?
[18:29] <Lake> Slayer: yeah sorry, dont use the GUI alot, but basically, you have Applications, Places and Settings as drop-down menus right?
[18:29] <defrysk> Tpg, depending on version , try uname -r
[18:30] <Pirate_Hunter> hi i am wondering is there any application that allows voice chat/call through the msn protocol?
[18:30] <Tpg> defrysk, alright, cheers!
[18:30] <admin_masu3701> LjL: yes
[18:30] <Lake> and in the third tab, Settings, there are two sub-categories, Preferences and another one I forgot the name of
[18:30] <joaopinto> Pirate_Hunter, amsn ?
[18:30] <Tpg> defrysk, why didnt I think of that before oO
[18:30] <FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU> is facebook being a slow cunt for anyone else? i cant load shit
[18:30] <Lake> Slayer: in one of those two sub-categories, there is something like Keyboard, or Language, some setting like that
[18:30] <LjL> !offtopic | FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU
[18:30] <LjL> !language | FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU
[18:30] <Wayder> For (if(safemode=1) && (comfortlevel<1) (reinstall));
[18:30] <FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU> jesus, calm down
[18:31] <Lake> he aint around
[18:31] <Tpg> defrysk, version 24 I see :D
[18:31] <Tpg> defrysk, un-updated that is, 8.04. No clue if there is something intresting in the updates
[18:31] <ADC> Hello everyone. I have ubuntu 8.10 installed. I am using gnome with it. I am currently using xrdp so that I can access the ubuntu server from my vista machine using rdp. Sometimes when i click on something the session crashes. I think its X crashing. Anyone know where I could look to figure out why the session is crashing. I have tried looking at /var/log/xorg.0.log but do not really know what I am looking for
[18:31] <Pirate_Hunter> joaopinto, amsn does not allow me to make voice clal even knowing I have the option, there seems to be a bug in it, so i am wondering if there are anyother apps i could use
[18:31] <LjL> admin_masu3701: ok, on that menu you should see a recovery mode option. select it (quickly, before it just boots normally). now i think in recent ubuntu versions, you will get another menu instead of a plain shell, i'm not sure, haven't used recovery mode in a long time... anyway, if you do get a menu, just select the option to open a root shell (or terminal or console or what it calls it)
[18:32] <LjL> admin_masu3701: when you're there, "adduser mchris admin"
[18:32] <LjL> admin_masu3701: it if gives you no error, reboot with "reboot"
[18:32] <admin_masu3701> LjL: thanks
[18:32] <admin_masu3701> let me try
[18:32] <admin_masu3701> so that is safe mode right
[18:33] <LjL> admin_masu3701: it's always been called recovery mode, i don't know if they've changed the name or there's something else called a safe mode
[18:33] <admin_masu3701> ok
[18:34] <Slayer> Keyboard or language... huh. I will try that out. Also i need help with another thing - What packages do i need for network-manager-pptp and network-manager-openvpn to be installed properly? I have no internet connection in Ubuntu, because i need these two to connect
[18:34] <LjL> admin_masu3701: according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode , it will just give you a root shell without any menu
[18:34] <LjL> admin_masu3701: so if that's actually the case, just type "adduser mchris admin" in it and you're done
[18:35] <daftykins> Slayer, "apt-cache search blah" may help
[18:35] <daftykins> where "blah" is a search term
[18:35] <admin_masu3701> LjL: i will try it now...thank you
[18:35] <Slayer> I have no internet connection!... I need it to run apt-things right?
[18:36] <daftykins> haha
[18:36] <daftykins> good point
[18:36] <daftykins> clearly i'm more tired than i thought
[18:36] <daftykins> i would've thought it comes with the necessary out of the box?
[18:36] <daftykins> does it really not?
[18:36] <LjL> Slayer: yes, unless you have an alternate cd avaialble. what do you need to do? you might use another computer to achieve it
[18:36] <Slayer> I have no idea... Alternate CD?
[18:36] <melrockz> Though I have samba, smbfs installed, I can't connect to a windows share. Why so?
[18:37] <LjL> !alternate | Slayer
[18:37] <daftykins> melrockz, "smbfs" and "smbclient" installed yeah?
[18:37] <Slayer> errr i installed Ubuntu via Wubi...
[18:37] <melrockz> yes.
[18:37] <Slayer> Because i do not want that partitioning, formatting
[18:38] <Slayer> q
[18:38] <Slayer> !LiveCD
[18:38] <LjL> Slayer: well anyway even if you do have the alternate cd, it'll only let you install a very restricted selection of packages. so again, just what exactly do you need to do?
[18:39] <Slayer> LjL, i need to install these two - network-manager-openvpn and network-manager-pptp
[18:39] <Akkernight> "gdebi-gtk: Fatal IO error 9 (Bad file descriptor) on x server :0.0." I get that error when I try to install Skype for AMD64

[18:41] <Wayder> lol

[18:41] <LjL> dbbolton: but the it in "quotes"
[18:41] <dbbolton> _VIM i tried using single and double quotes
[18:41] <LjL> dbbolton: eh... i meant put it in "quotes".
[18:42] <LjL> dbbolton: that should normally work as well as the "\ " method, but i suppose you can give the latter a try too
[18:42] <Wayder> i love ubuntu =)

[18:42] <dbbolton> LjL this is what happened with quotes http://pastebin.com/d110a6c81
[18:42] <Wayder> melrockz, do you have smb installed?
[18:43] <zoobox> can some share some knowledge on how to do tunneling?
[18:43] <_VIM_> zoobox: that's kind of offtopic have you tried ##networking though?
[18:44] <zoobox> I want to listen/send multicast udp messages on the network at school, even when I am at home
[18:44] <LjL> dbbolton: try it like this: scp daniel@192.168.1.5:"/home/daniel/Music/Daniel\\ Bolton/bones.mp3"
[18:44] <zoobox> aha ok... I ask there then
[18:44] <melrockz> I have smbfs and smbclient installed.
[18:44] <melrockz> from the repos

[18:44] <LjL> masu3701: that was a terrible idea

[18:45] <LjL> masu3701: when in the boot menu, just hit "e". you'll see a list of lines, hit "e" again, that'll let you edit the first line. to the end of it, add: init=/bin/sh
[18:45] <LjL> masu3701: the press Enter, then press "b" to boot. you should be taken to a root shell.
[18:46] <Dreamglider> is there any way to check the progress of "dd if=/dev/source of=/dev/destination"  ?
[18:46] <daftykins> yes Dreamglider
[18:46] <daftykins> open another terminal window
[18:46] <daftykins> and type "ps -ef | grep dd"
[18:46] <dbbolton> ok, i had to put it in double quotes AND use \. thanks
[18:46] <daftykins> it should tell you process ID for dd, yes?
[18:46] <daftykins> then type "kill -USR1 $PID"
[18:47] <daftykins> e.g. your PID could be 1234 so you'd type "kill -USR1 1234"
[18:47] <masu3701> LjL: i have windown and ubuntu...so boot into ubuntu then hit e?
[18:47] <JDogHerman> Can someone help me to setup an MTA?
[18:47] <kakazza> Hi, I am trying to use UNetbootin to install Ubuntu on a partition. However it only detects the C: drive, however in USB Mode with "show all drives" I can see the partition I created. How do I make the 20GB partition I created visible in HD Mode in UNetbootin?
[18:48] <LjL> masu3701: no
[18:48] <LjL> masu3701: in the *menu* -- the very same menu that should have had a recovery mode option, but didn't -- hit "e"
[18:48] <Akkernight> I'm having some problems with my sound, how do I check my sound drivers?
[18:49] <masu3701> ok
[18:49] <Dreamglider> daftykins: can i paste the output in a PM ?
[18:49] <LjL> masu3701: after having selected the Ubuntu line, but that's normally the default
[18:49] <TwistedGhost> i am trying to move my old videos file from my old partition to my new videos file in my new partition can someone please help me it just keeps filling my hd
[18:49] <daftykins> if it's short Dreamglider  yeah sure
[18:49] <flice> can I restrict certain apt .list file to only bring necessary updates, as opposed to all updates?
[18:49] <masu3701> LjL : wait..in that menu i only have windows and ubuntu
[18:49] <melrockz> by the 'connect to server' in the places menu.
[18:49] <hunt577> Hi everyone, I am running ubuntu through the livecd and wireless is not working
[18:49] <masu3701> suppose to have the recovery mode but its out
[18:50] <LjL> masu3701: yes, so select ubuntu (unless it's already selected by default), then hit "e"
[18:50] <flice> e.g. I have a program that I'd like to stay up-to-date from certain repository, but I don't want random libraries to get updated from there, unless this program requires them
[18:50] <masu3701> ok
[18:50] <LjL> masu3701: then hit "e" again, then type " init=/bin/sh" without the quotes, then hit Enter, then hit "b"
[18:50] <masu3701> so hit e after select ubuntu
[18:50] <daftykins> flice yes
[18:50] <TwistedGhost> i am trying to move my old videos file from my old partition to my new videos file in my new partition can someone please help me it just keeps filling my hd
[18:50] <masu3701> ok
[18:50] <JDogHerman> Can someone help me to setup an MTA?
[18:50] <flice> daftykins: how?
[18:50] <_VIM_> !repeat | TwistedGhost
[18:51] <daftykins> flice if you put # in front of the lines in your sources.list, all the lines except the ones that have "security" in them
[18:51] <daftykins> then it'll only get security updates and not software updates
[18:51] <TwistedGhost> sorry
[18:51]  * G69 Boa tarde.
[18:51] <zoobox> is it possible to force Nautilus that the files in the sftp-server I connect to is actually Latin1 and not UTF8 ?
[18:51] <LjL> !pt | g69
[18:51] <masu3701> LjL: so reboot after the entering "b"
[18:51] <Dreamglider> daftykins: http://pastebin.com/d3f323837
[18:51] <axisys> is there a acroread ubuntu pkg available?
[18:51] <axisys> sudo apt-get install acroread does not work
[18:51] <G69> LjL, i'm already there, i'm just trying to be polite.
[18:51] <axisys> Package acroread is not available, but is referred to by another package
[18:51] <Dreamglider> i gont booted when i pasted the output
[18:51] <zoobox> or, if it isn't possible to run something that corrects all filenames after I have copied them?
[18:52] <LjL> masu3701: no, after "b", you should wait for it to *boot*, then when you get a shell, you type "adduser mchris admin". THEN you reboot.
[18:52] <masu3701> ok
[18:52] <masu3701> let me try
[18:52] <defrysk> axisys, i think medibuntu has it available
[18:52] <flice> daftykins: I have this repository in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mmedia.list:      deb http://mirror.home-dn.net/debian-multimedia stable main
[18:52] <devilsF001> has anyone ever successfully connected to Cox Communications with a Static IP? If so is there a trick?
[18:52] <sheeple> im running intrepid, with an ati radeon X2100 series.  after attempting to install fglrx, i get just a black screen when i boot.
[18:52] <LjL> !postfix | JDogHerman, no but fwiw i can give you a link
[18:52] <axisys> defrysk: thnx
[18:52] <flice> daftykins: now, what can I do, if I don't want the packages in this repo to get automatically updated?
[18:53] <LjL> flice: how about just commenting it out?
[18:53] <flice> daftykins: but I do want this repo to be enabled, so that I can manually update the packages, if I want to
[18:53] <Wayder> what is the command to figure out a domains dns records? =)
[18:53] <JDogHerman> !postfix
[18:53] <flice> LjL: ...
[18:53] <LjL> flice: eh, i said that before you said that.
[18:53] <daftykins> put a hash before the line to comment it out too, flice
[18:53] <eross> what's the gui tools that allows you to look at the pie chart of your harddrive/space/usage/partitions?
[18:53] <daftykins> then you'll need to "apt-get update" to refresh the repos that you *do* want
[18:54] <flice> daftykins: I don't want to comment it out
[18:54] <ihate88> what sort of dual head archtecture does intrepid ibex use with a intel 945gm? just two x screens? xinerama? sth else?
[18:54] <flice> daftykins: as I said, I want it to be online, just not autoupdate
[18:54] <daftykins> well either you want updates from there or you don't flice! :)
[18:54] <Andry_Work> how do I setup the mouse speed on ubuntu?  I only got acceleration...
[18:54] <flice> daftykins: I want manual updates, as opposed to automatic ones
[18:54] <daftykins> ah ok then i don't know then
[18:54] <daftykins> sorry.
[18:54] <guest__> what is the most portable way to get effective uid of script?
[18:54] <daftykins> i only ever upgrade manually via terminal
[18:55] <LjL> flice: how about holding the relevant packages? though obviously you'll have to do it for each package in the repository
[18:55] <flice> LjL: yep, not applicable in this case, the repo is large
[18:55] <TwistedGhost> i need hepl before i end up loicking my hard drive space
[18:55] <TwistedGhost> please
[18:55] <eross> the answer is gparted
[18:56] <LjL> flice: well but it works if you don't have too many packages installed from it
[18:56] <pedro__> ubuntu only works in vesa mode. When I try radeon driver all I get is orange screen. Sound works and I can login, but nothing shows on screen. I can hear the login sound and all, but nothing on screen. (Same in live session). Any ideas why? I'm on a laptop, asus f8v with radeon hd 3650.
[18:56] <flice> LjL: 34 currently
[18:57] <flice> LjL: these are different versions of the packages that I have from other repos (mainly from medibuntu)
[18:58] <flice> LjL: actually, these are updated versions only. there might be additional ones that have the same version that I don't see
[18:58] <spaceninja1> I can't maximize inkscape
[18:58] <alexc> hi
[18:58] <spaceninja1> is anyone else experiencing this problem?
[18:58] <TwistedGhost> does anyone know how to transfer files from old partition to new partition
[18:59] <daftykins> yes
[18:59] <n2diy> my roommate is trying to duel boot his XP box, and he is at the migrate settings page, and regardless of what he selects, or doesn't select, he can't access the forward button, his only option is to cancel, what gives?
[18:59] <Guest44783> what program i can make xp bootable usb stick? i need because my laptop doesn have cd-device
[18:59] <daftykins> TwistedGhost, why do you have old and new?
[18:59] <flice> LjL: this is a big problem for me. I have a lot of unstable repos enabled, each for the sake of one or two programs, and many of them push unrelated packages to updates
[18:59] <daftykins> and what are they, two different hard disks inside an ubuntu PC?
[18:59] <mudvayne852> can you create an xbox live server/
[18:59] <mudvayne852> ?
[18:59] <_VIM_> Guest44783: that sounds like a ##windows issue try there
[19:00] <daftykins> only MS run xbox live
[19:00] <TwistedGhost> daftykins, no its 2 partitions on the same hd both with ubuntu instaled
[19:00] <sheeple> I WANT MY DESKTOP BACK
[19:00] <eichi> hello
[19:00] <Guest44783> no its not windows guestin, cos i use ubuntu
[19:00] <daftykins> why do you want to copy it TwistedGhost  ?
[19:00] <eichi> i want to mount a udf dvd
[19:00] <incorrect> eu.undernet.org
[19:00] <LjL> flice: ah but that's different, you should be able to tell apt that ubuntu repositories have a higher priority over those
[19:00] <Guest44783> and i dont know what program to use make it
[19:01] <eichi> but it doenst work. i get allways a UDF-fs: No partition found in dmesg
[19:01] <flice> LjL: and if I do, it won't update to the packages in other repos, even if they have newer versions?
[19:01] <mudvayne852> daftykins: XLSP
[19:01] <TwistedGhost> daftykins, well my old copy of ubuntu i broke it so i reinstalled but i still want all of my files so i made a second partition now i want to transfer my videos file and music file to my new partition
[19:01] <admin_masu3701> LjL: so i added init= /bin/sh to the first option that i had which was root
[19:01] <TwistedGhost> but i dont know how
[19:01] <sheeple> someone in here gave me a link to install fglrx, and all it did was make everything worse, i was better off not to read it.
[19:01] <LjL> flice: i'm a bit confused as to how that's done exactly, but i know it can be done (i even think it's done by default for the security repo)
[19:01] <admin_masu3701> then b
[19:01] <Andry_Work> !mouse
[19:01] <mudvayne852> daftykins: xbox live server platform?
[19:01] <admin_masu3701> and rebooted
[19:01] <Andry_Work> !mouse_speed
[19:02] <Andry_Work> !mouse_acceleration
[19:02] <daftykins> mudvayne852, i was thinking you meant the 'actual' xbox live
[19:02] <daftykins> if you're saying you can download some kind of version of it to run yourself then that's news to me :D
[19:02] <taz_> what i should download with new openoffice.org 3.0   ... right now i have already 2.4   ..so how i can upgrade ??
[19:02] <admin_masu3701> so now i enter adduser mchris admin in terminal and get: only root can add user....
[19:02] <axisys> how do I install opera ?
[19:03] <norbert79> axisys: apt-get install opera for example
[19:03] <_VIM_> axisys: get the .deb from Opera's site
[19:03] <Pimp> admin_masu3701: sudo adduser
[19:03] <axisys>  sudo apt-get install opera gives me
[19:03] <axisys> Package opera is not available, but is referred to by another package
[19:03] <norbert79> axisys: Are all the repositories selected?
[19:03] <LjL> flice: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#Use pinning to limit the backports repository
[19:03] <spree> I just bought one of those cheap Targus USB bluetooth adapters, and to my amazement it worked flawlessly. What applications should I look into as far as syncing my organizer on my phone?
[19:03] <axisys> norbert79: let me check .. one sec
[19:03] <TwistedGhost> daftykins, i broke first copy of ubuntu so i installed again and want to move my personal files from old copy to new copy but its like 100gb and i only have 28gb left on hd
[19:03] <admin_masu3701> pimp: it says that mchris is not in the sudoers file
[19:03] <norbert79> spree: vammu
[19:04] <norbert79> spree: Wammu, sorry
[19:04] <LjL> admin_masu3701: NO, you should have done the adduser thing WHILE you were in the rootshell, not AFTER rebooting back!
[19:04] <norbert79> !wammu
[19:04] <sheeple> I WANT MY DESKTOP BACK
[19:04] <sheeple>  someone in here gave me a link to install fglrx, and all it did was make everything worse, i was better off not to read it.
[19:04]  * Pimp loads up his virtual env
[19:04] <sheeple> this is what i was told.  http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Intrepid_Installation_Guide#Installing_the_restricted_drivers_manually
[19:04] <flice> LjL: eh, cool, gonna check it out
[19:04] <homecable> what hardin packages does a shell server use to hardin the userland
[19:04] <TwistedGhost> sheeple, its hard to get help with that thats why i reinstalled ubuntu into a 2nd partition
[19:04] <axisys> norbert79: third party partners are not selected
[19:05] <admin_masu3701> LjL: so i enterd init=/bin/sh
[19:05] <sheeple> what to apt-get to get my desktop back
[19:05] <LjL> flice: there are other guides about pinning, but i believe at least the one on help.ubuntu.com is updated and inaccurate, while that example in the backports page should work. otherwise, check the generic debian guide at http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html
[19:05] <rootard> I have a package whose version is the same as the version in a repository. If I install the package by hand, aptitude want to "upgrade" to the repository version. Any idea on where this may be coming from?
[19:05] <norbert79> axisys: Well, go on, make all repositores selected
[19:05] <admin_masu3701> then i shuld do the add user on the same line
[19:05] <norbert79> axisys: or download the Ubuntu package or the deb package from Opera's website :)
[19:05] <TwistedGhost> daftykins, pm me please when you get the chance to help me out thanxs
[19:05] <LjL> admin_masu3701: sigh. no
[19:05] <LjL> admin_masu3701: how's about to write this down somewhere
[19:05] <_VIM_> sheeple: in the future don't install things from NON official Ubuntu websites/forums/wiki's, else you run the risk of hosing your system
[19:05] <spaceninja1> Why can't I find inkscape-devel?
[19:05] <admin_masu3701> i did
[19:05] <flice> LjL: thanks!
[19:05] <LjL> admin_masu3701: 1) power on your machine. wait for the boot menu to show up
[19:06] <LjL> admin_masu3701: 2) select Ubuntu, unless it's already selected by default, and hit "e"
[19:06] <Pimp> admin_masu3701: sudo adduser <user> should work
[19:06] <LjL> admin_masu3701: 3) select the line that says something like "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-22-generic root=UUID=c50ae320-b4fd-434e-b81d-3088ae67e6fc ro noapic quiet splash", unless it's already selected
[19:06] <axisys> norbert79: added the third parties .. still not finding it
[19:06] <LjL> admin_masu3701: 4) hit "e" and move to the end of the line, unless you're already at the end of the line
[19:07] <norbert79> axisys: Well, download it from opera.com then
[19:07] <LjL> admin_masu3701: type a space, and then type init=/bin/sh
[19:07] <axisys> norbert79: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid says just apt-get it
[19:07] <axisys> norbert79: i know that is one way
[19:07] <LjL> admin_masu3701: 6) hit Enter, and then hit "b"
[19:07] <axisys> norbert79: i wanted to depend on apt if possible
[19:07] <LjL> admin_masu3701: 7) wait for a shell to load up, then type "adduser mchris admin"
[19:07] <LjL> admin_masu3701: 8) type "reboot"
[19:07] <norbert79> axisys: I guess thats the same... :) Besides, I always tend to use the latest
[19:07] <_VIM_> Opera is not in the repos for 8.10 , that's why i told you to go to Opera's site and get the .deb, before everyone here started telling you to "Enable extra repos" and whatnot ;)
[19:08] <axisys> norbert79: :-)
[19:08] <archman> Is there a Skype deb for intrepid?
[19:08] <axisys> norbert79: since u mention latest.. how do I get the latest ff? 3.1.x ?
[19:08] <joaopinto> !skype
[19:08] <norbert79> axisys: Well, download it, and place it to a different directory. Btw, http://www.medibuntu.org

[19:09] <spaceninja1> please :)
[19:09] <axisys> norbert79: i added medibuntu repo..

[19:09] <FloodBot1> spaceninja1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:10] <norbert79> axisys: Guess that has no opera by now.. Eh, just go to opera.com already, and download it from there
[19:10] <admin_masu3701> LjL: ok
[19:10] <admin_masu3701> trying again
[19:10] <axisys> norbert79: k.. hwo about ff latest beta :-) ?
[19:10] <Pici> !latest | axisys
[19:11] <norbert79> axisys: Well, download it, and place it to a different directory
[19:11] <axisys> norbert79: ok
[19:11] <axisys> norbert79: i dont seem to find the ff beta
[19:11] <axisys> norbert79: even in there site
[19:11] <mudvayne852> what games for ubuntu are mmorpg and free
[19:12] <axisys> norbert79: there is no download option https://developer.mozilla.org/En
[19:12] <_VIM_> spaceninja1: have you checked yet to see if there is a bug with inkscape with not being able to maximise the screeN? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs
[19:12] <n2diy> I'm helping my friend install Ubuntu on his XP box, and it stalls at page 6, the migrate data page?
[19:12] <_VIM_> screen=window
[19:12] <spaceninja1> _VIM_: there is a known bug, that has been fixed with inkscape-devel
[19:12] <spaceninja1> _VIM_: but I can't find that package
[19:12] <norbert79> axisys: There is the way, sorry, I am not dealing with beta stuff, but only with Ubuntu related problems directly...
[19:13] <_VIM_> spaceninja1: try the PPA's
[19:13] <_VIM_> !ppa | spaceninja1
[19:13] <_VIM_> or !backports
[19:13] <norbert79> axisys: Ehm, I mean I can't help you with that. I would just download the tar.gz, and place it to HOME
[19:13] <spaceninja1> sounds like hassle
[19:13] <_VIM_> na it's easy
[19:13] <_VIM_> one click install
[19:13] <axisys> norbert79: ff beta is pretty stable.. comes with opensolaris 2009.06 .. and using it.. love it
[19:13] <deany> firefox in ubuntu hangs while uploading files to sites like megaupload/rapidshare/mediafire, where as in xp it does not..  it comes back responsive after the upload has finished...?

[19:24] <_VIM_> mikebeecham: not certain, but you could try WinAMP in WINE... (Use this as a LAST result if you don't find a better solution)
[19:24] <tw1tch> mikebeecham: have you tried easytag
[19:24] <hunt577> thank you spree
[19:24] <admin_masu3701> there is other option such as c for command-line, O for open new line and d for remove selected line
[19:25] <admin_masu3701> b just reboot the system
[19:25] <mikebeecham> tw1tch: I'm trying to use easytag, but it dont like editing tags in folders accessed through gvfs
[19:25] <admin_masu3701> i tryed c, it takes me to the grub:
[19:25] <admin_masu3701> command line
[19:25] <mikebeecham> its locks up and greys out tw1tch
[19:26] <admin_masu3701> thn i entered adduser mchris admin but get Unrecognized command error

[19:33] <quik> Akkernight, yeah, mount the partition. unless it's encrypted or something around it :P
[19:34] <deany> (the ff uploading hanging issue).  using the fireftp plugin im uploading to my ftp space and its fine, so looks like its only a flash thing.. flash is latest, installed manually by me..

[19:36] <manuel__> weiss jemand wie ich icq bekomme
[19:36] <Dondavid> manuel ersatz laden ?
[19:36] <mk> michael
[19:37] <quik> Akkernight, blkid and identify your partition, either have it labeled, know its size or guess by file system type, sudo mkdir /windoze; sudo mount /dev/sda3 !$; cd !$; and dunno where it is from there.
[19:37] <homy> hi, on the command line, how can I find out the charset of a plain text file?
[19:37] <Dondavid> nimm den packetmanager und gib icq ein
[19:37] <geirha> Akkernight: open a nautilus window (Places -> Homefolder for example), and in the left margin you should see all filesystems listed by LABEL, or size for the filesystems that does not have labels. Click on them till you find your windows's C:
[19:37] <Dondavid> now talking in english
[19:38] <Guest40732> michael
[19:38] <Wayder> that was english =s
[19:39] <tw1tch> mikebeecham: have you tried Audacity
[19:41] <Wayder> who likes short shorts? =)
[19:41] <rayne_> Does Rythmbox work with Ipod Classic 160g now?
[19:41] <Wayder> i have never had any great success with my ipod on my linux box..
[19:42] <bertrand> I'm looking for a way to lock my own computer... for me, seriously. I mean, I spend too much time on it while I am supposed to prepare exams. The first thing I would like to do is to allow the access to the computer only for something like one hour a day. The second think I would like (but I can do without) is to be able to use amarok anyway (and only amarok)... Any, idea ?
[19:42] <rayne_> Last time I tried to hook my Ipod to linux, it destroyed it... supposedly it was fixed, was looking to confirm that.
[19:43] <nanotube> bertrand: sudo apt-get install willpower :)
[19:43] <Stevethepirate> Heh
[19:43] <bertrand> nanotube, with is it ?
[19:43] <nanotube> bertrand: it was a joke :)
[19:43] <Zarel> So how would I go about telling package maintainers to update their version of http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/warzone2100
[19:44] <Wayder> lol
[19:44] <bertrand> nanotube, I guessed
[19:44] <bertrand> ^^
[19:44] <nanotube> bertrand: easiest thing to do is just turn off the comp after an hour. other than that... have someone else you trust change the user password, then lock screen.
[19:44] <homy> does somebody know how to find out the charset of a plain text file on the command line?
[19:45] <daftykins> you could try "file file.blah" ?
[19:45] <nanotube> bertrand: there's no tool out there that will actually prevent you from using the computer - it may lock screen, it may suggest a break, etc - but at the end of they day they all allow an override.
[19:45] <daftykins> usually gives a bit of info
[19:46] <nanotube> bertrand: another easy thing to do: pull the network cable. once there's no internet, the computer becomes a lot less fun. :)
[19:46] <Wayder> lol
[19:46] <Wayder> If he wants a locking device..
[19:46] <bertrand> nanotube, I'm alone in the apartment... Maybe I should change the password with the eyes closed, or destroy the computer...
[19:47] <Wayder> you can always get a wife/gf or S/O
[19:47] <nanotube> bertrand: or turn it off. another good option.
[19:47] <bertrand> nanotube, already tried, but it is too easy to put the connection back
[19:47] <Gregorio> lol
[19:47] <Wayder> apt-get install wife
[19:47] <homy> daftykins: no, it doesnt work.
[19:47] <h00k> man wife
[19:47] <Wayder> LOL
[19:47] <nanotube> bertrand: turn it off, then put in a sleep script to make the boot time really long (well, like 15 minutes), so that turning it back on is not too "easy" :)
[19:47] <Pimp> Wayder: are you sure you want to do that?
[19:48] <Wayder> no =) but it will keep your computer time in check, which is what bertrand is dooin =)
[19:48] <Pimp> h00k: man wife | less
[19:48] <Wayder> lol
[19:49] <bertrand> nanotube, Wayder : so, what is for you the best way to make the computer very annoying to use ?
[19:49] <Wayder> no
[19:49] <Wayder> ... to make a computer very annoying to use..
[19:49] <Pimp> "E: Couldn't find package wife"
[19:49] <Wayder> sit infront of it for 12 hours a day answering support tickets
[19:49] <Wayder> =(
[19:49] <Pimp> hmm maybe its a drive or mount point
[19:49] <tw1tch> !wife
[19:49] <Pimp> mount wife
[19:49] <Wayder> lol
[19:49] <Dreamglider> or just install Windows Vista on it.
[19:49] <Wayder> lol
[19:50] <bertrand> Wayder,  lol
[19:50] <Wayder> mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /wife
[19:50] <oCean_> !ot
[19:50] <Wayder> she might now like the vfat  =s
[19:50] <Wayder> not=now
[19:50] <Wayder> !otot
[19:51] <nanotube> bertrand: well, to be honest, i try to make my computer /least/ annoying to use. :)
[19:51] <saurabh> this is the strangest problem i ever had:i m able to open www.google.com in my brouser
[19:51] <nanotube> bertrand: but Wayder's way of "sitting in front of it for 12 hours" tends to work :)
[19:51] <Wayder> lol
[19:52] <Zarel> No one knows? How do I contact the Ubuntu package maintainers and tell them a certain package is _very_ out of date?
[19:52] <nanotube> saurabh: indeed, that's a strange problem. usually people like being able to open www.google.com in the browser :)
[19:52] <bertrand> nanotube, yeah, but I am supposed to work
[19:52] <saurabh> nanotube:but i m not able tyo open that page
[19:52] <saurabh> though my inter net is working properly
[19:52] <funkyHat> Dreamglider: depends on a few things, the speed of the drives, whether they are on the same IDE channel (that would slow it down) whether DMA is being used on both. A very vague estimate would be a couple of hours
[19:52] <nanotube> Zarel: try in #ubuntu-motu
[19:52] <tw1tch> saurabh: do u get a 404 error?
[19:53] <saurabh> no i get a login page of my isp
[19:53] <oCean_> !latest | Zarel
[19:53] <nanotube> bertrand: just buck up and grow a pair - if you need to work, turn off the screen and/or the comp, and work. :)
[19:53] <nanotube> bertrand: the old-fashioned method.
[19:53] <saurabh> <tw1tch:i get the login page of my service provider
[19:54] <saurabh> though i ahve already logged in
[19:54] <Zarel> oCean_: I'm talking about packages in Ubuntu still being a random nightly build when stable versions have been released since then.
[19:54] <nanotube> saurabh: if your isp throws up a login page, that's your isp's problem, you should contact them about it.
[19:54] <saurabh> thanx
[19:54] <nanotube> saurabh: also, it's possible that their login requires cookies - did you enable cookies?
[19:55] <saurabh> wats cookies
[19:55] <nanotube> !cookies
[19:55] <nanotube> hah
[19:55] <spree> lol
[19:55]  * Pimp slaps ubottu
[19:55] <Pimp> NO!
[19:55] <nanotube> saurabh: cookies are little pieces of info that a browser can store, they are frequently used for authentication purposes.
[19:56] <oCean_> Zarel: well, the policy is as explained above. The suggestion to ask in ubuntu-motu seems correct if you want to address the issue
[19:56] <saurabh> <nanotube:how to disable taht
[19:56] <nanotube> Zarel: ask in ubuntu-motu and point out the package... they'll tell you what's up.
[19:56] <ab> hello all
[19:57] <ab> i had a query
[19:57] <funkyHat> !ask
[19:57] <nanotube> saurabh: no guarantee that it /is/ the cookie problem... but if you're using firefox, go to edit->preferences->privacy and check "accept cookies", and "accept third-party cookies" and set them to "keep until i close firefox"

[20:29] <funkycat90210> Slart: yes, with amazon ec2 you can pay $72/month for a machine, you choose the distro and it sets i up in minutes. I chose a 8.10 install and I think it's messed up
[20:29] <Wayder> how to listen, dchub must have a daemon option to bind it to a specific port
[20:29] <Sebby_C> i made i right settings on daemon side but i think i misss something

[20:30] <Wayder> if you made the settings on the computer and you can access it from the network, you may just have to open the port on the router..
[20:30] <Wayder> make sure you Isp doesn't block the port
[20:31] <lo127> In vsftpd, if I use jail-user (chroot), can I somehow link do external devices, like a disk mounted in /media/hdd1?
[20:31] <Sebby_C> i can access it from localhost
[20:31] <Sebby_C> but from external ip i can`t
[20:31] <Wayder> can you get it from another computer on the network?
[20:32] <Sebby_C> i don`t have access to other PC from the network
[20:32] <A4Tech> !ubuntu
[20:32] <guntbert> lo127: there is a channel #vsftpd
[20:32] <Wayder> lol27 if you make a symlink inside the users locked directory it should in theory dance the macarena =)
[20:32] <Sebby_C> i have sshd wich works on external ip ..but dchub ..
[20:33] <lo127> Wayder: worth trying, not sure tho

[20:39] <Xanax09> what is the command for mounting ?
[20:39] <Wayder> mount
[20:39] <Wayder> !mount
[20:39] <hunt577> Does anyone having any information on ndiswrapper?  New to Linux and Ubuntu, and not sure how to get it running to download my wireless driver for ubuntu

[20:43] <xukun> is it possible that my tv is receiving a audio signal from the dvi-hdmi cabel? I,m using a toslink cabel connected to my audio system. and sound is working . but I get a message saying "Unsupported audio signal check your output device"
[20:44] <dreamy> nightrid3r: you there ? hows it going ;)
[20:44] <Slart> xukun: I don't think a dvi cable transfers audio
[20:45] <Wayder> dvi or hdmi?  hdmi is dvi cable with 2 extra leads..
[20:45] <Wayder> you can convert dvi to hdmi w/o sound and you can convert hdmi to dvi with sound =)
[20:45] <LinuxKid54> has anyone been sucessful in mounting a gpt partition in ubuntu in rw mode
[20:47] <TwistedGhost> does anyone know about moving files from a old partition to a new partition on the same hard drive both with ubuntu installed i need to move my videos and music files from my old partition to my new partition and get rid of the old one
[20:47] <tekteen> anyone know how to use touch and give it a date in secs since the epoch?
[20:47] <TwistedGhost> get rid of the old partition
[20:47] <zhurai-tsuki> Twisted: for  my anime and stuff, I just moved them to my group's ftp
[20:47] <zhurai-tsuki> >.>
[20:48] <TwistedGhost> ?
[20:48] <sharperguy> How does one get a USB drive to automount from the shell? Or is there an easy way to mount it otherwise?
[20:48] <zhurai-tsuki> oh wait
[20:48] <tekteen> TwistedGhost: if you mount both drives, you can just copy them
[20:48] <zhurai-tsuki> err
[20:48] <zhurai-tsuki> right, you can just mount those nfts drives @_~
[20:48] <xukun> Slart, some how the tv get a signal or is expecting one. It is dvi-hdmi cabel
[20:48] <ZykoticK9> TwistedGhost, just have both partitions mounted and then you could use "mv" at the terminal or "nautilus" in the gui?!?
[20:48] <tekteen> sharperguy: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /a/mount/point
[20:49] <TwistedGhost> tekteen, when i try to copy them it just fills my hard drive even more i have a whole 28gb left and need to transfer 120gb of media
[20:49] <zhurai-tsuki> mm... ok, I'm using Ubuntu 8.10.  I have Compaq Presario C771US Notebook PC... well Battery isn't showing status atm (fixed Atheros to get wireless work though)
[20:49] <zhurai-tsuki> >.>
[20:49] <tekteen> TwistedGhost: you could have mentioned that
[20:49] <tekteen> TwistedGhost: you need to find a place to put it
[20:49] <TwistedGhost> lol sorry
[20:49] <tekteen> we can not help with that
[20:49] <LinuxKid54> i have an external usb hdd that was formated in OSX and when i connect it to my ubuntu machine i can see the files but not copy them to another drive. Can someone please help me with this i dont know how much time this drive has its bad
[20:49] <Slart> xukun: well.. if the hdmi plug goes into the tv it might be expecting an audio signal from that.. but since you have a dvi plug in the other end I don't really see how you can do that
[20:50] <TwistedGhost> tekteen, why can you not help with that?
[20:50] <sharperguy> tekteen, yeah I was just wondering if there was an easier way because ubuntu does have an automount system which creates a temporary mount point and detects what device it is etc
[20:50] <tekteen> TwistedGhost: How would any of us know where to put your files? We can tell you how, but not where
[20:50] <bradly> So I installed some nvidia drivers on my new machine and my machine has been acting up. Should I be installing the driver from NVidia's web site?
[20:50] <zhurai-tsuki> mm... ok, I'm using Ubuntu 8.10.  I have Compaq Presario C771US Notebook PC... well Battery isn't showing status atm (fixed Atheros to get wireless work though)   <-- note: somehow now it's thinking its on battery when right now its actually on AC
[20:51] <tekteen> sharperguy: I do not use the gui much :-)
[20:51] <TwistedGhost> thats what i am wanting to know is how to get all my files from the old partition onto the new partition and delete the old partition
[20:51] <tekteen> TwistedGhost: you need to put everything on the old partition somewhere first
[20:52] <TwistedGhost> tekteen, what do you mean by put it somewhere?
[20:52] <zhurai-tsuki> >.>
[20:52] <tekteen> TwistedGhost: what you need to do is first move the files off the partition you want to delete
[20:52] <zhurai-tsuki> upload it, put it onto a USB, etc
[20:52] <zhurai-tsuki> >.>
[20:53] <tekteen> zhurai-tsuki: he is not uploading 128GB ;-)
[20:53] <zhurai-tsuki> Heh
[20:53] <tekteen> my 20Mbit pipe would have issues :-P
[20:53] <yoyit2> does anyone know of a good dvd ripping program?? (rip to mp4)??
[20:53] <TwistedGhost> ok so does anyone know the easiest way to save 120gb of media or where to store it?
[20:53] <zhurai-tsuki> I did >_>> *hides*
[20:53] <tekteen> TwistedGhost: big usb hard disk
[20:53] <TwistedGhost> gah
[20:53] <TwistedGhost> i am broke lol
[20:54] <zhurai-tsuki> >_>
[20:54] <tekteen> TwistedGhost: apparently you have no way to delete the partition
[20:54] <xukun> Slart, its really crazy but I have this new lcd tv and When I watch movie using a pc with ubuntu os I get this message every 5 second on the screen
[20:55] <TwistedGhost> tekteen, is there a site or something that would allow me to just store 120gb of files so i can reinstall and then get them
[20:55] <tekteen> LMAO
[20:55] <tekteen> even if such a site existed...
[20:55] <hwilde> !freenx
[20:55] <TwistedGhost> im really not kidding i have been working on my media database for 3 months and am not trying to lose it all
[20:55] <TwistedGhost> lol
[20:56] <tekteen> TwistedGhost: Uploading it would take years
[20:56] <TwistedGhost> grrrrrrrrr
[20:56] <tekteen> TwistedGhost: if one exited ;-)
[20:56] <TwistedGhost> so basically im screwed?
[20:56] <tekteen> TwistedGhost: you need to have a place to store it
[20:56] <zhurai-tsuki> question:  ok, I'm using Ubuntu 8.10.

[20:56] <Nefasto> Hi all!
[20:56] <TwistedGhost> unless i can get a external hard drive?
[20:56] <tekteen> why are you deleting this partition?
[20:56] <tommy1_> I am looking for a slide scanner recommendation
[20:56] <tekteen> Nefasto: Hi!
[20:56] <tekteen> TwistedGhost: yeah
[20:57] <TwistedGhost> tekteen, can you pm me its to clutered in here
[20:57] <hwilde> the instructions for freenx are not working!
[20:57] <zhurai-tsuki> :( I'm totally ignored.
[20:57] <Nefasto> Grub has been corrupted for some reason on my system... it issues an "Error 17" while loading, and stops there.
[20:57] <hwilde> W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/freenx-team/ubuntu/dists/VERSION/main/source/Sources.gz  404 Not Found
[20:57] <Nefasto> I´ve checked online for help, and I got innumerous copies of a link which teaches how to "reset" grub from the grub menu...

[20:58] <zhurai-tsuki> z.z'
[20:58] <lasivian> I think I broken the mtp filesystem on my mp3 player by mounting it
[20:58] <Nefasto> I guess it means grub files are missing or corrupted...
[20:59] <ZykoticK9> hwilde, in that link VERSION is a variable for "dapper", "gutsy", "intrepid" etc....
[20:59] <Dude4Sale> Sup?
[20:59] <Dude4Sale> https://affiliates.izea.com/event/1260-129-1325
[20:59] <lasivian> it doesn;t seek right anymore no matter what mp3 I use, even ones that worked fine previously
[20:59] <Nefasto> can anyone give me a clue?
[20:59] <hwilde> ZykoticK9, wow... long day....
[20:59] <ZykoticK9> hwilde, try going to http://ppa.launchpad.net/freenx-team/ubuntu/dists/ in a browser
[20:59] <zhurai-tsuki> z.z can someone help me?
[21:01] <ASULutzy1> Quick question, I have a podcast downloaded as several mp3's, 1.mp3, 2.mp3, etc... I want to combine all of these into a single file, and I was able to do that simply by doing cat 1.mp3 2.mp3 > combined.mp3, but the only problem is that the length info is then wrong. Is there a smarter way to do this? Maybe we mencoder or something?
[21:01] <Guest84697> Anybody else experience this? When running compiz in KDE4.2 you can't do Alt F1 anymore...

[21:05] <adem> Hello
[21:05] <kristian1> !hi
[21:05] <adem> How can i use color shell?
[21:05] <ubuntnoob> hello all
[21:05] <zhurai-tsuki> adem: which one are you using
[21:06] <zhurai-tsuki> regular terminal?
[21:06] <Nefasto> zhurai-tsuki: what do u need help on?
[21:06] <Slart> adem: you mean coloured output from ls?
[21:06] <adem> i am using bash
[21:06] <Dr_willis> adem,  shell programs can use color. What do you mean to say?
[21:06] <adem> yes
[21:06] <nigtv> suppose that i wanted to get rid of any file or dir with red in the name in the terminal, would i type $grep 'red' * > redrm.txt |rm < redrm.txt, because that isnt working
[21:06] <Dr_willis> ls --color
[21:06] <Akkernight_> how do I compile C++ projects using Code::Blocks and GCC ?
[21:06] <zhurai-tsuki> Nefasto: ok, I'm using Ubuntu 8.10.  I have Compaq Presario C771US Notebook PC... well Battery isn't showing status atm (fixed Atheros to get wireless work though)   <-- note: somehow now it's thinking its on battery when right now its actually on AC  (also at weird times, on opera I can't type and only can if I close an application AND/OR minimize and open the app again)    how can I fix these problems?
[21:06] <ZykoticK9> ASULutzy1, if you  have a gui you might want to try Audacity?
[21:06] <Slart> adem: I think the shell itself uses colours by default.. to make ls use colours there is a line or two in... ~/.bashrc or something like that
[21:07] <ASULutzy1> ZykoticK9, nux_explorer: I prefer terminal, but thanks, I'll look into both!
[21:07] <giaco> hello
[21:07] <nux_explorer> ASULutzy1> for example, you can do that : sox file1.mp3 file2.mp3 ... file10.mp3 "$FIFO" & lame --quiet -m s -h --vbr-new -V3 -b 128 "$FIFO" final.mp3
[21:07] <nigtv> zhurai-tsuki: have you tried reinstalling the power manage ap?
[21:07] <zhurai-tsuki> ...err
[21:07] <zhurai-tsuki> no x.X
[21:07] <ASULutzy1> nux_explorer: Beautiful, thanks :)
[21:07] <giaco> do you know how can I force software rendering for any opengl accelerated application?
[21:07] <zhurai-tsuki> how do I do that?
[21:07] <ZykoticK9> ASULutzy1, you might just use lame to re-encode the incorrectly timed mp3 file you've already made???
[21:07] <Dr_willis> nigtv,  the shell supports regular expressions to such a degree that you proberly dont need to use grep to do that.
[21:07] <nux_explorer> ASULutzy1> very simple, and it works with wma, ogg...
[21:08] <BZH> zhurai-tsuki open add/remove and search for it
[21:08] <zhurai-tsuki> k
[21:08] <nigtv> Dr_willis: you may have to tell me what command i am supposed to be typing, because i feel like i should know this
[21:08] <adem> oki tnx guy
[21:08] <ASULutzy1> ZykoticK9: Hmmm, is that easy to do? I'm just looking for the simplest way to make 10 mp3's a single mp3 with correct tags :)
[21:08] <Slart> adem: there is a line you have to uncomment, for me it's line 74  "alias ls=ls --color=auto" or something like that
[21:08] <hunt577> !wireless
[21:09] <Dr_willis> nigtv,  when in doubt TEST paterns with echo.. it looks like 'rm *red*' works here
[21:09] <ASULutzy1> nigtv: I may have missed what exactly you said, but if you wanted to delete all files or directories in your current directory that contained "red" in their name, you could do rm -rf *red*
[21:09] <Nefasto> zhurai-tsuki: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/271944
[21:09] <nigtv> hmm lemme try it really quick, it was returning an error before, no such file or dir
[21:09] <ASULutzy1> nigtv: Be careful when you're globbing with rm...
[21:09] <Dr_willis> nigtv,  if you have SPACES in filenames - that can really mess things up
[21:10] <zhurai-tsuki> adem+Slart: since I'm using the default terminal editor, I personally edited the profiles to change the colors
[21:10] <ubuntnoob> how do you deal with spaces in filenames?
[21:10] <ubuntnoob> i always get an error of file not found-
[21:10] <Dr_willis> ubuntnoob,  excape them. or quote them, or use the find command instead
[21:10] <ASULutzy1> ubuntnoob: escape them with a backslash. So some file.mp3 would be some\ file.mp3
[21:11] <ubuntnoob> excellent, ty
[21:11] <Dr_willis> cp 'foo spacey file' 'other spacey file'
[21:11] <cdavis> I need php mailparse for an app but apt-cache doesn't find it on hardy?
[21:11] <Dr_willis> its best to NOT use spaces in filenames :)
[21:11] <nigtv> zhurai-tsuki: it looks like the power managing package is acpid and acpi-support, dont do any apt stuff until you can verify that with someone who is more knowing though
[21:11] <ubuntnoob> yea, i've been slowly converting all that i can
[21:11] <Dr_willis> theres dozens of 'convert spaces to _' scripts out. :)
[21:12] <nigtv> you should be able to go into synaptic and select mark for reinstallation on those two, but again verify
[21:12] <cdavis> I thought that I had installed it before via a apt but cannot remember the name
[21:12] <mori> Hi
[21:13] <mori> I was trying to install ubuntu with unetbootui (or so) it did a netinstall, but failed at some point when downloading ubuntu desktop. I rebooted after it was stuck for an hours and now I get a "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK" error
[21:13] <mori> And neither the broken ubuntu, nor my WinXP would boot anymore ;_;
[21:13] <wad> Hi folks. I'm running Ubnutu now! Compiz is working, but I'm still figuring out a few things though... right now I can use ALT-TAB to switch between apps, and it shows a little thumbnail of the app when switching, but the problem is that they all look similar, and I can't tell which is which. I think I'd like to try just showing the icon for the app, instead of the mini-screenshot.
[21:13] <guntbert> cdavis: does that help ? http://www.cerb4.com/forums/showthread.php?t=244
[21:13] <mori> any suggestions how I at least get my winxp working again?
[21:14] <Dondavid> can someone tell me a prog which show me the temperatur of my hdd and cpu ?
[21:14] <wad> I've looked in several places, but I have yet to find a way to make this change. Ideas?
[21:14] <Dr_willis> mori,  boot a xp cd and use its recovery mode to reinstsall the boot loader. with the fixmbr/fixboot command
[21:14] <Dr_willis> mori,  assuming the xp parittion is still there.
[21:14] <nigtv> ASULutzy1: okay, suppose i wanted to delete in more than my current dir?
[21:14] <mori> will try, second...
[21:14] <BZH> mori put the cd od windows and see if some dll files are missing try repair windows
[21:14] <dcnoye> where do i change the display settings
[21:15] <zash> does a simple utility to PXE-boot ubuntu exist?
[21:15] <BZH> dcnoye what do ya want to change
[21:15] <gldtn> hey guys.. when I try to play a dvd on totem it says GStreamer installation is missing plugins.. how can I fix this?
[21:15] <dcnoye> the resolution
[21:15] <dcnoye> BZH:  the resolution
[21:15] <gldtn> any othe player I should try that is perhaps better then totem?
[21:15] <nigtv> gldtn: make sure that you have all repositories enabled, and then try again, that should bring up a window to install them
[21:15] <BZH> dcnoye preferences resolution :D
[21:16] <funkyHat> wad: in the options for the Application Switcher plugin you can tick the box that says 'icon' to get an icon as well as the thumbnail... don't know if you can have just the icon though...
[21:16] <hatter243> gldtn, have you installed the package ubuntu-restricted-extras ?
[21:16] <mori> fixmbr /fixboot didn't work :(
[21:16] <dcnoye> BZH:  doh
[21:16] <funkyHat> wad: you could also try increasing the zoom level
[21:16] <mori> Is that error a BIOS Error, a windows error or a grub error?
[21:16] <mehuman> I just built a digital photo frame running ubuntu and am looking for a way to display pictures, weather, and news. Any suggestions?
[21:16] <cdavis> guntbert: lol, that is the app I am trying to install, I was hoping for a deb :( Have done a very good job of not installing anything that wasn't a deb
[21:16] <nigtv> mehuman: maybe use an rss feed? if you can build one that should work...
[21:16]  * wad checks it out
[21:17] <gldtn> hateball, I thought I did.. or maybe not... where can I get info on this.. lol I reinstalled ubuntu like 5 times this past month
[21:17] <gldtn> hatter243,
[21:17] <nigtv> gldtn: go into synaptic, and then go to...shoot
[21:17] <hunt577> can ndiswrapper be set up on the livecd?
[21:17] <nigtv> i havent used the gui in a long time
[21:17] <Wayder> !dhcpd
[21:18] <Wayder> !dhcp
[21:18] <gldtn> nigtv: I have all checked at the software sources
[21:18] <nigtv> under one of the menus is an option to edit the repos
[21:18] <mehuman> nigtv: I was looking at using screenlets but would like it full screen. I was seeing if there was already a script that did it. Maybe using gd?
[21:18] <nigtv> oh
 mori put the cd od windows and see if some dll files are missing try repair windows <== I kinda doubt that, unless the ubuntu netinstall removes DLLs.
[21:18] <hatter243> gldtn, ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[21:18] <guntbert> cdavis: sorry then, I asked google for "php mailparse ubuntu", read the first lines and sent the link to you - didn't see that you have to compile it yourself :(
[21:18] <mori> I just wonder what causes that error, is it the bios itself?
[21:18] <nigtv> mehuman: no clue, never done something like that, i use snownews, but im only in console not x, so im not sure
[21:18] <tyta> is xubuntu really use a SIGNIFIGANT amount LESS resources than ubuntu?
[21:18] <gldtn> hatter243, yes
[21:18] <Wayder> the repo menu? its under System > Admin > Software sources
[21:18] <Dr_willis> mori,  boot loader dident install proerly perhaps.. its hard to tell
[21:19] <BZH> mori if its not vista its not bios
[21:19] <mori> well, fixmbr didn't work at least.
[21:19] <mori> It's WinXP 32
[21:19] <stefg> tyta: in terms of ram: yes
[21:19] <nigtv> tyta: define significant
[21:19] <BZH> mori i have one thing to say for ya
[21:19] <mori> Yes?
[21:19] <Dr_willis> mori,  try fixboot
[21:19] <gldtn> hatter243, oh how can I checked to see if they are installed?
[21:19] <Wayder> tyta: lets put it this way... I cannot install ubuntu on a machine were I can install xubuntu
[21:19] <tyta> i've got an old win2000 machine with about 200 mb ram.  i want to build for a friend's kid
[21:20] <mori> Dr_willis - Tried that before. Can try again of course.
[21:20] <tyta> things like tux math, paint, educational software
[21:20] <BZH> mori first is there any date you need from that partitin if not remove the XP and try to make a virtual mashine or just use wine
[21:20] <tyta> it has edubuntu on it now
[21:20] <Dr_willis> mori,  theres 2 commands that ive used fixboot, and fixmbr both do seperate things
[21:20] <nigtv> gldtn: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[21:20] <hatter243> gldtn, it's a meta package ubuntu-restricted-extras is a pointer to a bunch of totem plugins for dvds, flash, java, some fonts, blahblah.
[21:20] <tyta> it just runs kinda slow, and before I install xubuntu i want to know if it's worth my time
[21:20] <Dr_willis> mori, other then that.. I suggest going to #windows
[21:20] <Wayder> tyta: my employer asked me to turn a library of 15 computers into a computer resource for students of the school.. the computers are >500mghz procs, with >128mb ram. I was unable to install ubuntu.. xubuntu worked without a hitch
[21:20] <nigtv> gldtn: type that in the terminal, if they are installed it will say so, if not it will show a list of any not installed
[21:21] <tyta> Wayder, thanks!
[21:21] <stefg> tyta: xubuntu.... and consider epiphany instead of firefox (which is a ram pig because of the xul toolkit)
[21:21] <tyta> Wayder, the only prob is that this thing has no cd rom
[21:21] <Wayder> tyta: sorry, that was < not >
[21:21] <mori> ok, thx
[21:22] <stefg> !install | tyta
[21:22] <tyta> Wayder, i misunderstood
[21:22] <Wayder> tyta: basicaly, if you have a computer with more then 256 ram, you can install ubuntu
[21:22] <gldtn> thanks guys.. none was installed.. I think I had it installed before I started formating my computer to test other linux distros
[21:22] <Wayder> ram is the failpoint with the ubuntu install..
[21:23] <lexvegas> mori, try supergrubdisc. http://stmaarten.globat.com/~supergrubdisk.org/
[21:23] <Wayder> whats the minimum install req for the graphical ubuntu install?
[21:23] <nigtv> gldtn: come back if you still have trouble, you may want to check the repo thing too
[21:23] <Elda> Bleh... someone was using my name again -_-
[21:23] <nigtv> Wayder: what version?
[21:23] <BZH> tyta mine is with 512 and i aha compiz running like hell :D except water effercts
[21:23] <Wayder> ubuntu 8.10 with educational package
[21:23] <BZH> *have
[21:24] <Wayder> 192mb i think?
[21:24] <Jufis> Is there any other system process/resource viewers than htop?
[21:24] <Elda> I am curious, what is the command to run a program from the terminal?  I want to execute a program
[21:24] <Wayder> elda, depends on the program
[21:24] <stefg> Wayder: ubuntu-desktop install needs around 300 MB... but on anything with less than 512 MB i wouldn't run gnome
[21:24] <Elda> It is writing to a /home/mp3/ and its a script like little program so I need to do so through gedit
[21:24] <Dr_willis> There are several 'run dialog' programs out there.  some are built in to the various window managers also
[21:24] <Elda> It is a "shell script"
[21:25] <gldtn> nigtv, thanks.. I checked the repo.. went to software sources and checked all the third party stuff and the software restricted or copyrighted line
[21:25] <Wayder> stefg, yeh, xfce is better if <256
[21:25] <Elda> Trying to run yt2mp3
[21:25] <Wayder> elda, simply chmod +x <filename>
[21:25] <nigtv> Wayder: that info is on the main page, just google
[21:25] <Elda> ty :)
[21:25] <ZykoticK9> Wayder, according to http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 the only real requirement seems to be 256MB ram
[21:25] <Wayder> and ./<filename>
[21:25] <Wayder> i was just asking out of curiosity lol
[21:25] <Qwell> Is there a better channel for the SPARC port of Ubuntu?  Having issues on a sun4v
[21:25] <stefg> ZykoticK9: that's theory...
[21:26] <olivier> i've ubuntu on my old pc too
[21:26] <Wayder> but thanks for being all gungho ! :)
[21:26] <BZH> stefg if you dont use compiz you can run ubuntu on 256 believe me
[21:26] <nigtv> oh lol sorry ;)
[21:26] <ubp123> why xmm2-tray is not be available for listtenning free internet radio while rhythmbox could listen with the said radio ?
[21:26] <olivier> video card with only 16mo
[21:26] <stefg> BZH: not run ... just walk :-)
[21:26] <ZykoticK9> stefg, TRUE!!!  but 8.10 does run fine on my EEE which is pretty low powered system, does have more then 256MB ram though?!?
[21:26] <TwistedGhost> tekteen, you there?
[21:26] <tyta> can anyone help me understand this command?  sudo chmod 'whoami':'whoami'
[21:26] <tyta> from the page http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html
[21:27] <tekteen> yeo
[21:27] <BZH> stefg lol nooooooooooooooo believe me i had 256 ;) and it was running the same like 512 but no compiz then
[21:27] <Qwell> tyta: That isn't what the command is.
[21:27] <Wayder> tyta: check the man pages for chmod
[21:27] <Qwell> it would be sudo chmod `whoami`:`whoami`
[21:27] <fouad> im having a problem with apt
[21:27] <fouad> im using Ubuntu 8.10
[21:27] <Qwell> which will set the user and group to be the user you're running as (which is dumb, but whatever..)
[21:27] <Wayder> fouad: you having problems with aptitude as well?
[21:28] <nigtv> fouad: youll get better responses if you type it all in one line :)
[21:28] <fouad> im using apt-get
[21:28] <tyta> 'whoami' = tyta
[21:28] <tyta> ?
[21:28] <Wayder> try aptitude in your cline
[21:28] <Qwell> tyta: ` is not the same as '
[21:28] <ZykoticK9> tyta, that will change the user & group ownership to your user but i'm not sure it's 'whoami', think it might be `whoami`???
[21:28] <thomaspari> ciao
[21:28] <thomaspari> !list
[21:28] <ubp123> whoami command is not correct ,after all ?
[21:28] <tyta> `' oh i see
[21:29] <guntbert> tyta: was it chown or chmod?
[21:29] <tyta> but "who am i" is the user right?
[21:29] <tekteen> whoami
[21:29] <nigtv> okay im still wondering i know the command "$rm -rf *red*" will get rid of anything with red in the name in my current dir, but how do i make this rm in any dir?
[21:29] <tyta> I am going to attempt to install this way:  http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html
[21:29] <tekteen> tyta: or "whoami" or "echo $USER"
[21:29] <billy> Hello folks (8.10), Got a problem with apps filling the screen, hiding the desktop tool bar! Where about's do I change the setting so the desktop tool bar  is still visible? Thanks
[21:30] <nigtv> billy: what is the desktop tool bar?
[21:30] <nigtv> are you talking about the menu bar?
[21:31] <billy> nigtv: yes
[21:31] <airbagface> hello boys
[21:31] <zleap> hi
[21:31] <funkyHat> billy: does this happen all the time, or is it just since the last time you logged in?
[21:31] <Wayder> ah, thats a compiz issue.. its happened to me before
[21:31] <xukun> Hi all. I,m still getting this message on my new sony lcd tv every 5 second "Unsupported audio signal check your ouput device" I,m using dvd-hdmi cabel. Ubuntu starts just fine
[21:31] <nigtv> wow thats wierd, do you have them on autohide or do they stay there all the time
[21:31] <ZykoticK9> tyta, i think thouse instructions are incorrect "sudo chmod `whoami`:`whoami`" does not make any sense at all...
[21:31] <billy> funkyHat: all the time
[21:32] <fouad> Ok. Here goes. I was trying to install smplayer like I normally do on Ubuntu with apt-get install smplayer and I got 404 not founds on every file that apt-get tried to fetch. Then I did an apt-get update and got some GPG Key errors. Someone suggested that I use No-cache=true and that solved one of the GPG Errors. And finally this is the output: http://pastebin.com/d2eaf1ca0
[21:32] <airbagface> i just installed ubuntu, is there a keyboard command to switch the screens?
[21:32] <CentHOGG> hi would anybody know the fs for initrd.img? trying to mount it
[21:32] <nigtv> airbagface: check system>preferences>keyboard shortcuts ;)
[21:32] <ubp123> regarding toolbar of shoutcastradio for the firefox..it was an exe extension file for my ubuntu linux.. and in fact it didnt work for my current firefox..unable to add that tool bar .....
[21:32] <guntbert> airbagface: <ctrl><alt> arrows
[21:33] <DrHalan> is there a software on ubuntu for organizing events like a party or so?
[21:33] <Dr_willis> CentHOGG,  try the command 'file whatever.img' and see what it says
[21:34] <CentHOGG> mount -o loop initrd.img-2.6 /mnt/initrd
[21:34] <CentHOGG> tried that but asked for filesystem type
[21:34] <nigtv> fouad: it installs fine on mine, thats a very wierd problem
[21:34] <SimplySeth> hos does one verify if one is running a realtime kernel ?
[21:34] <fouad> exactly
[21:34] <nigtv> have you tried installing from a third party instead?
[21:34] <fouad> nope
[21:34] <guntbert> fouad: try a different server
[21:34] <funkyHat> DrHalan: I would probably use vim-outliner for that, but that may not be to your taste at all (It's an extension of the Vim text editor, which isn't exactly intuitive!)
[21:35] <nigtv> fouad: im assuming you have mplayer installed, correct?
[21:35] <Dr_willis> CentHOGG,  im pretty sure its compressed, may be compressed ext2
[21:35] <fouad> yes
[21:35] <DrHalan> funkyHat: at the moment i just use GEdit to write a guest-/foodlist etc but i guessed there would be a nice app for it.
[21:35] <guntbert> !who | fouad
[21:36] <CentHOGG> Dr_willis: kewl, I took it out of the wrapper. Would you know the fs?
[21:36] <fouad> ubottu: sorry :) New to IRC, newer to large help channels
[21:36] <nigtv> i really wish i knew how to select and copy in w3m fouad
[21:36] <Qwell> CentHOGG: he did suggest that it might be ext2
[21:36] <ubp123> 1. unknown name and soon to be erased upon inputting some here.. very nice lol
[21:36] <fouad> nigtv: whats w3m?
[21:37] <nigtv> if you google "smplayer", then go to the first page in the results, then click on download and go down to linux, its the first one
[21:37] <CentHOGG> Qwell: kewl, so how would I modify mount -o loop initrd.img-2.6 /mnt/initrd properly? thx
[21:37] <HAN67431> hello
[21:37] <nigtv> its a text based browser for the terminal
[21:37] <Qwell> if it's ext2, just add -t ext2
[21:37] <funkyHat> DrHalan: there's not one that I can think of, vim-outliner is basically just a way of manipulating a plain text list/outline (it can do check boxes and tell you what % of a particular section is checked, but that's as advanced as it gets. It is very fast though, after learning all the keys to use it!
[21:37] <ubp123> oops sorry i could not type in lol due to this is irc chat i had been noticed once
[21:37] <CentHOGG> thx
[21:37] <HAN67431> anyone here that has worked on postfix dovecot?
[21:37] <Dr_willis> CentHOGG,  try the file command like i said earlier..
[21:37] <funkyHat> DrHalan: but I certainly wouldn't describe it as a 'nice app'
[21:37] <Qwell> CentHOGG: file <filename> can generally tell you what it is though
[21:38] <SimplySeth> hos does one verify if one is running a realtime kernel ?
[21:38] <erUSUL> SimplySeth: they usually have -rt on the name
[21:38] <erUSUL> SimplySeth: uname -a
[21:38] <SimplySeth> erUSUL: and hence the reason I ask .. not the case this time :)
[21:39] <azlon> what can i use to manage my bluetooth devices?
[21:39] <guntbert> fouad: do you know how you can select another download server? maybe yours is broken...
[21:39] <erUSUL> SimplySeth: then it is not realtime
[21:39] <nigtv> fouad: if you get that archive, extract it, then follow install.txt, it will tell you exactly how to do it
[21:39] <erUSUL> !bluetooth
[21:39] <SimplySeth> erUSUL: but I did run the uname command and I do see " PREEMPT "
[21:39] <HAN67431> is there a ubuntu server channel
[21:39] <erUSUL> SimplySeth: PREEMT != realtime
[21:39] <ubuntnoob> yea #ubuntu-server
[21:40] <SimplySeth> erUSUL: DOH
[21:40] <fouad> im using the default download servers. Doesnt everything come from archive.ubuntu.com?
[21:40] <fouad> anyway
[21:40] <bradly> Is there anything like OS X's growl for Ubuntu?
[21:40] <fouad> i'll install smplayer using the debs
[21:40] <fouad> but I really need to fix this GPG key error
[21:40] <erUSUL> bradly: if you trell as what growl does...
[21:40] <guntbert> fouad: in the end yes, but there are many mirrors, chose one near your location
[21:40] <ubp123> every body using the same ubuntu server for the channel ubuntu ???
[21:40] <bradly> erUSUL: system wide popup messages
[21:41] <fouad> any idea/theory about how the GPG Keys for my system got garbled?
[21:41] <nigtv> fouad: what exactly is the error again?
[21:41] <guntbert> ubp123: ???
[21:41] <DefunctProcess> Anyone tried playing Quake3 in browser? It says I'm missing a plugin but I have swf and flash installed....
[21:41] <Jufis> DefunctProcess, I believe it has it's own plugin
[21:41] <SimplySeth> erUSUL: hmmm I mght have to re-compile
[21:42] <fouad> nigtv: http://pastebin.com/d2eaf1ca0
[21:42] <SimplySeth> erUSUL:  thanks again
[21:42] <erUSUL> SimplySeth: i think that ubuntu studio has rt kernels
[21:42] <ubp123> guntbert, i am a novice about this chatsystem because i have installed the gnome irc server at my ubuntu
[21:42] <DefunctProcess> jufis so its a windoze only thing?
[21:42] <ZykoticK9> DefunctProcess, are you trying to play QuakeLive?  I don't think anyone has a good linux solution yet - but I'd love to hear one???
[21:42] <guntbert> ubp123: this is the ubuntu-
[21:42] <erUSUL> !info linux-image-rt | SimplySeth
[21:43] <SimplySeth> erUSUL: just not RT kernels that see both cores :-/
[21:43] <ubp123> ok, thanks for info guntbert
[21:43] <guntbert> ubp123: this is the ubuntu-support channel, for just chatting please visit #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[21:43] <DefunctProcess> zykotick9 yes I figured it was a windoze only thing, perhaps in wine but its not such a novelty that way
[21:43] <Jufis> DefunctProcess, at this moment, yes. Linux version is in development
[21:43] <BZH> what is ubuntu dvd??
[21:43] <fouad> i even tried this....  gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 40976EAF437D05B5
[21:43] <funkyHat> DrHalan: here you go http://webpages.charter.net/edreamleo/front.html doesn't look like there's a package for it in Ubuntu at the moment though
[21:43] <guntbert> ubp123: sorry, touched my <enter> to soon :)
[21:43] <nigtv> fouad: which one is it on pastebin
[21:43] <fouad> the top one
[21:43] <ZykoticK9> DefunctProcess, i don't think even wine is running it with any success YET - but I hear they are going to release a Linux version, hopefully soon.
[21:44] <Gnea> BZH: a dvd with ubuntu on it
[21:44] <fouad> nigtv: line 53 onwards
[21:44] <BZH> lol @ Gnea:D
[21:44] <DefunctProcess> zykotick9 ugh I've heard that line before
[21:44] <Gnea> BZH: hey, you asked ;)
[21:44] <ZykoticK9> DefunctProcess, ID is pretty good with linux clients, compared to other game makers anyways...
[21:45] <guntbert> !ot | ZykoticK9
[21:45] <SimplySeth> erUSUL: then again .. I think its workin' ! .. I got Jack Runnin' with the RT option :)
[21:45] <nigtv> gar now im really starting to miss xwindowsys lol
[21:45] <Edwin_> Hey
[21:45] <nigtv> fouad: due to limitation with cli, i cannot view any of that
[21:45] <BZH> Gnea, the dvd comes with more programs thats all you can always install them by add/remove
[21:45] <ttwhatis> anyone know when jackalope comes out?
[21:45] <fouad> lemme paste on paste.ubuntu
[21:46] <guntbert> !jaunty | ttwhatis
[21:46] <nigtv> if you have it in a txt you can dcc it to me
[21:46] <Gnea> BZH: so what's the problem?
[21:47] <Gnea> BZH: if you have an internet connection, you can install more from the internet
[21:47] <erUSUL> !yay | SimplySeth
[21:47] <Edwin_> I have a LG e500 and ive installed ubuntu on with with wooby. The thing is when i boot it with ubuntu it loads as normal but then its just says loadng please wait for ages then the screen just goes black
[21:47] <Edwin_> didnt get any help by google
[21:48] <gizmo_the_great> does any1 exactly where the Ubuntu distribution ID value is stored? Example, Ubuntu 8.10 - where is the value '8.10' actually stored? I have loo9ked at the lsb_release function but having read the code I can't work out exactly where the program is pulling the value from
[21:48] <Gnea> gizmo_the_great: /etc/lsb-release
[21:49] <gizmo_the_great> Gnea: thats the python script - I don't think the actual value is stored in it, is it?
[21:49] <fouad> nigtv: done.
[21:49] <dlmarti> gizmo_the_great,  /etc/issue
[21:49] <gizmo_the_great> dlmarti: many thanks!!
[21:49] <LinuxKid54> i have an external usb hdd that was formated in OSX and when i connect it to my ubuntu machine i can see the files but not copy them to another drive. Can someone please help me with this i dont know how much time this drive has its bad
[21:49] <liminal> hi
[21:49] <Gnea> gizmo_the_great: no, it's not a script, it's a configuration file.  all configuration files are stored, in /etc, since that is the purpose of /etc.  a script that performs any function would not reside in /etc.
[21:49] <liminal> im here to beg for help
[21:49] <dlmarti> gizmo_the_great, it was a guess  :)
[21:50] <ZykoticK9> gizmo_the_great, it's not actually stored in /etc/issue!
[21:50] <nigtv> fouad: whats the filename
[21:50] <Qwell> Anybody feel like debugging an awesome SPARC install issue?  http://pastebin.com/m65423057
[21:50] <liminal> my sound has gone.
[21:50] <fouad> log.txt
[21:50] <liminal> it was working yesturday
[21:50] <Qwell> Tried both hardy and intrepid netinst CDs
[21:50] <liminal> and today, poof no sound
[21:50] <Gnea> dlmarti, gizmo_the_great: negative, /etc/issue is the file that's shown to you when you login to the shell either from a tty or remotely
[21:50] <guntbert> !enter | liminal
[21:50] <gizmo_the_great> ZykoticK9: The value is in /etc/issue - is that just reading it from somewhere else then? If so, do you know where?
[21:51] <liminal> anyone got any ideas?
[21:51] <sinelaw> can someone help me debug a problem?
[21:51] <ZykoticK9> gizmo_the_great, I have NO idea - i'm not a programmer at all
[21:51] <sinelaw> or is there a channel for bug reporting?
[21:51] <guntbert> gizmo_the_great: believe Gnea ; the config file is /etc/lsb-release
[21:51] <_VIM_> !bugs | sinelaw
[21:51] <sinelaw> ok, going to #ubuntu-bugs
[21:52] <Gnea> gizmo_the_great: /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net do not do what you think they do.
[21:52] <gizmo_the_great> guntbert: I have read through lsb_release and used one of it's defined functions, and it generates '8.10' as part of the outptu, but I cannot see where it gets that value from
[21:52] <liminal> can someone try to help me get my sound back :(
[21:52] <nigtv> fouad: im no good with this, im afraid im inclined to cease and desist any implied offer of advice due to my ineptitude with regards to not booting up x :(
[21:53] <Gnea> gizmo_the_great: as I have told you, it gets the value from the /etc/lsb-release file
[21:53] <guntbert> gizmo_the_great: /etc/lsb-release *not* lsb_release!!!
[21:53] <nigtv> liminal: youre going to have to give them more information than that :)
[21:53] <gizmo_the_great> Gnea: if you open that file and read through it, can you tell me where you see the version number?
[21:53] <liminal> nigtv thats all i really have, yesturday my sound was working - today it isnt
[21:53] <gizmo_the_great> guntbert: you're splitting hairs :-)
[21:54] <Gnea> gizmo_the_great: it's self-explanatory. if you try editing the release id, save it, then run lsb_release -a, you will see that it changes. good luck.
[21:54] <fouad> nigtv: no problem mate. thanx anyway
[21:54] <liminal> i thinjk somthing must have updated
[21:54] <guntbert> gizmo_the_great: no, those are two different files
[21:54] <gizmo_the_great> guntbert: I only have lsb-release on my system.
[21:54] <liminal> if you have any ideas how to debug a no sound issue ill try them  all
[21:55] <guntbert> gizmo_the_great:  cat /etc/lsb-release ... DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.10
[21:55] <joeburns> hey people, everytime i try to install ndisgtk i get 'error: dependency is not satisfiable: ndiswrapper -utils.  anyone have any ideas concerning this problem?
[21:55] <ZykoticK9> gizmo_the_great, i too have no lsb_release (8.10)
[21:55] <nigtv> liminal: what have you done since then?
[21:56] <ZykoticK9> joeburns, have you installed ndiswrapper (ndisgtk is a frontend i'd imagine)
[21:56] <nigtv> liminal: i mean have you installed anything, new hardware or software
[21:56] <Gnea> !tutorial | gizmo_the_great
[21:56] <oshua86> hello guys, where can I can find really good ubuntu themes?, Ive googled some but I was wondering if you had some other sites
[21:56] <oshua86> thanks
[21:56] <guntbert> !themes | oshua86
[21:56] <joeburns> yes, i installed ndiswrapper and ndiswrapper utils 1.9, i can see them in the synaptic package manager, i thought that would solve the problem but nothing has changed
[21:56] <nigtv> oshua86: if you got the big pack of them then youre good to go
[21:57] <nigtv> see ubottu link^
[21:57] <ZykoticK9> oshua86, also check out http://compiz-themes.org/ if you've got compiz running
[21:57] <Droopsta915> Can I install linux from an iso on my flashdrive? Just boot from the flash, or do I need to burn the iso first?
[21:57] <Wayder> lol? I think that when you buy a computer there should be a skill testing question...
[21:58] <nigtv> Droopsta915: how big is the flash drive
[21:58] <ZykoticK9> anyway to add http://compiz-themes.org/ to the output of !themes ???
[21:58] <gizmo_the_great> Gnea: ZykoticK9 guntbert - OK. As I understand it, lsb-release is a script/program that, when executed, outputs the distribution data about the operating system. The values themselves are not hardcoded in that file - if you open it and look for the release ID of your OS, it is not in there. It calculates the value by running various functions.
[21:58] <Dr_willis> Droopsta915,  use unetbootin tomake a bootable intaller-thumbdrive -is the easy way
[21:58] <Wayder> that is not directed to anyone here.. sorry, the woes or working techsupport =)
[21:58] <nigtv> yea thats what i was gonna say, just install to it then copy the files
[21:58] <gizmo_the_great> If you can tell me what line of that file says "Ubuntu version 8.10" please tell me
[21:59] <nigtv> gizmo_the_great: what file? because you can just use grep...that will tell you exactly that
[21:59] <liminal> the only thing of note ive installed isa  pcsc0lite demon
[21:59] <liminal> but that wouldnt have effected the sound
[21:59] <liminal> =there was an automatic update also
[21:59] <Gnea> gizmo_the_great: no, it does not calculate it. you've read it completely wrong.
[21:59] <haytham-med> hi all i installed ubuntu restricted extras then i removed them but the firefox font didnot change
[21:59] <liminal> im not sure what that installed
[21:59] <myf> hi anyone configured shell-fm and got it to work?
[21:59] <Droopsta915> Dr_willis:is that on linux
[22:00] <nigtv> haytham-med: that package does not have fonts as far as i know
[22:00] <gizmo_the_great> Gnea: OK, so assuming you know where I am wrong, hopefully you can tell me where it is getting that value from?
[22:00] <haytham-med> it has microsoft fonts
[22:00] <Dr_willis> Droopsta915,  its avail for windows and linux.. UBUNTU has its own usb-disk tool thats better. :)
[22:00] <nigtv> well you could just restore defaults in firefox, or reinstall it
[22:01] <Wayder> !upgrade
[22:01] <gizmo_the_great> Gnea: it's not massively apparent is it.
[22:02] <Gnea> gizmo_the_great: I have already told you where it gets the value from. You have failed to follow those steps. But, I'll point it out to you again:  in the /etc/lsb-release file (which you can look at by opening a Terminal, and then typing the following command:  cat /etc/lsb-release) you can see the variables that are clearly defined (I'm not pasting them here, since pasting is against channel guidelines, plus you can read them for yourself, and everyone els
[22:02] <nigtv> i believe that if you go into the firefov directory, there is a .fonts folder, just get rid of all the ones that dont have the same modify date as the original install if you really want them gone, but you can just change it in firefox, might be easier
[22:02] <CentHOGG> hi, help with RAID0/initrd.img pleez... getting mdadm: no devices found for conf
[22:02] <Dube2> Random Q for someone who might know, Where could I find the source code for the "du" command?
[22:03] <CentHOGG> but have checked out my initrd.img and only found something strange about my scsi-id file
[22:03] <liminal> nigtv is there a way to see what the update manager has ibstalled recenty?
[22:03] <Gnea> gizmo_the_great: and, again, you can simple change a variable in the /etc/lsb-release file to something else, saving the file, then running this command again:  lsb_release -a  (please note the difference between the - and the _ ) and you will see that there is no calculation taking place.
[22:03] <CentHOGG> no scsi devices listed
[22:03] <nigtv> liminal: i believe so, but im not sure what it is
[22:04] <nigtv> hmm...
[22:04] <gizmo_the_great> Gnea: I'm obviously not explaining what I am trying to do properly. I will keep looking. But what I am trying to say is that  cat /etc/lsb-release does not output something that is contained in lsb-release - it outputs something that it works out frm the OS.
[22:04] <nigtv> info synaptic ;)
[22:04] <Gnea> gizmo_the_great: oh really?  please pastebin the output of your /etc/lsb-release file and a separate pastebin of the lsb_release -a command.
[22:04] <Wayder> *wave*
[22:04] <Gnea> !pasetbin
[22:04] <Gnea> !pastebin
[22:05] <Wayder> cheers every body work is done for the day =)
[22:05] <CentHOGG> any RAID0 out there?
[22:06] <Dube2> How would you go about to modify a command in ubuntu?
[22:07] <nigtv> Dube2: use the options
[22:07] <nigtv> man command, info command, command --help
[22:07] <Dube2> nigtv: i mean edit the source code
[22:07] <ZykoticK9> Dube2, you probably don't want to actually modify the "du" command, i image a number of other programs may rely on it? just a thought.
[22:07] <nigtv> oh, well you have to know the language and have the code i guess, never done it
[22:08] <nigtv> you shouldnt have to change it
[22:08] <nigtv> what do you want to change it to do
[22:08] <nigtv> there are alot of other commands you can use instead
[22:08] <Dube2> ZykoticK9: yeah i dont really want to modify it lol i just want to see the code so i can see how they made it work
[22:08] <liminal> nigtv how to i use symantic to see what was last instaklled?
[22:09] <Nefasto> can someone help me fix grub?? I´m unable to load any of my OSs
[22:09] <gizmo_the_great> Gnea: It would seem someone here has to eat some humble pie. Sorry - you are totally right. I got muddle up between the lsb_release and lsb-release!
[22:09] <Nefasto> please?
[22:09] <mimmo84> ciao
[22:09] <nigtv> liminal: im really not sure, give me a sec and ill check
[22:09] <gizmo_the_great> Gnea: So I can now recode my app to look at /etc/lsb-release directly instead of lsb_release
[22:09] <plsd> I have several podcast feeds in Rhythmbox and I want to export them to gPodder but apparently Rhythmbox can't export. Is there config file or anything where I can at least get the list of feeds?
[22:09] <Dube2> I cant find any info about "du" online because its not the easiest thing to search for :P
[22:09] <Gnea> gizmo_the_great: excellent :)
[22:10] <nigtv> liminal: go to synaptic, then to file, then to history
[22:11] <ZykoticK9> Dube2, you might try a google like "du.c debian"?
[22:11] <Dube2> ZykoticK9: Thank you!! good idea :)
[22:12] <CentHOGG> any RAID0 out there?
[22:12] <nigtv> rww: nice nickname
[22:12] <rrplay> Nefasto, : what happened to you grub ?? file /boot/grub/menu.lst ??
[22:12] <lexvegas> ZykoticK9, in chmod whoami : whoami the first whoami is the username and the second one is the group which the file belongs to
[22:13] <lexvegas> that is, the username that you want the file to be owned by
[22:13] <Dube2> t
[22:13] <ZykoticK9> lexvegas, actually i think the command you're looking for is chown, chmod is different
[22:13] <nigtv> Nefasto: i feel your pain, took me about 3 days just to get a dualboot with xp and 7.10 running
[22:14] <ZykoticK9> lexvegas, chmod is used like "chmod ugo+rwx file" vs "chown user:group file"???
[22:14] <Nefasto> nigtv: no no.. everything was fine untill today! install windows, then install ubuntu, and it´s dualbooting seamlessly...
[22:14] <nigtv> so then whats the problem?
[22:15] <Nefasto> nigtv: the machine was booted into windows, then I installed QuickTime, and it asked to restart... then grub is now showing the Error 17.
[22:15] <nigtv> did you check to see if menu.lst was changed?
[22:16] <liminal> nigtv history isnt showing me anything
[22:16] <liminal> its empty
[22:16] <Guest2472> I've been wondering - why does dd require both a block size and a block count?  Why not just specify the copy size as a single number (the number of bytes to copy)?
[22:16] <nigtv> liminal: if you hold down backspace and you have nothing to delete does your computer make a beep noise, like from the system speaker?
[22:17] <nigtv> inside the computer
[22:17] <Nefasto> nigtv: where would that file be?
[22:17] <DaniilK> I'm on Ubuntu 8.10, and I cannot standby (suspend) properly. My fan does not shut off, and I cannot bring my computer back from its state, so I have to restart it. How can I fix this?
[22:17] <nigtv> if its beeping from the system speaker inside the computer, then ubuntu doesnt recognize that you have speakers
[22:18] <nigtv> Nefasto: /boot/grub/menu.lst, BUT
[22:18] <ioops2> g
[22:18] <nigtv> before you do anything, cd /boot/grub and then cp menu.lst menu.lst.backup
[22:18] <nigtv> so you can make sure if you do something wierd you can get it back
[22:18] <DaniilK> nigtv: that is not true. ubuntu uses my speakers fine, but it beeps the system beep, not the speakers
[22:18] <ZykoticK9> DaniilK, what system you using?  laptop i assume?
[22:19] <DaniilK> ZykoticK9: surprisingly, no. i'm on a custom desktop PC
[22:19] <nigtv> DaniilK: im talking about if the speakers dont work, like the sound doesnt work
[22:20] <nigtv> if you cant get sound from ubuntu, and you have everything set up what should be the right way, and its not making output to the speakers and making a system beep
[22:20] <Nefasto> nigtv: can u pastebin a copy of a valid menu.lst? so I nkow what it´s supposed to look like?
[22:20] <nigtv> Nefasto: yea, how do i do that lol
[22:20] <nigtv> !pastebin
[22:21] <Nefasto> do what?
[22:22] <Nefasto> just copy your menu.lst into a file and show me... take away whatever u find sensitive in there....
[22:22] <nigtv> Nefasto: thats going to be a problem, because i cannot copy and paste
[22:22] <Nefasto> no?
[22:22] <Nefasto> how sad!
[22:22] <nigtv> lol
[22:22] <sofi1> ﻿Does any1 know a calibration tool to calibrate a touch screen
[22:22] <nigtv> im not booting into x, only using the console so
[22:23] <nigtv> Nefasto: give me a sec ill dcc it to you
[22:24] <liminal> nigtv: no beeping
[22:24] <nigtv> liminal: you sure that the speakers work, you have the driver, the soundcard works, etc.?
[22:24] <liminal> well the speakers worked yesturday
[22:25] <liminal> i never installed a driver
[22:25] <liminal> it worked out of the box
[22:25] <nigtv> try like plugging them into the tv or something
[22:25] <sofi1> Need help badly...I have a Samsung Ultra ...I put a hardy image on it and I lost my touchscreen...I mean the calibration is off..Just wanted to know if any1 knows how to calibrate the Q1 ultra?
[22:25] <Guest2472> yesterday*
[22:25] <porfirio> Hola
[22:25] <ZykoticK9> liminal, FYI the internal speaker has NOTHING to do with your sound card...
[22:25] <porfirio> spanish???
[22:25] <admin_masu3701> cant use the sudo command..its says that i am not in the sudoers file
[22:25] <admin_masu3701> how can i fix that
[22:26] <nigtv> Nefasto: now i cant figure out how to dcc, one second
[22:26] <ZykoticK9> admin_masu3701, the user you are using is not an admin account
[22:26] <_VIM_> !es | porfirio
[22:26] <Nefasto> nigtv: hehehe... take your time
[22:26] <porfirio> ok
[22:26] <admin_masu3701> Zykotica: but i was able to use it before...dont know what happen
[22:26] <nigtv> did you get anything there?
[22:27] <mycroes> quick question... I have a RAID 5 array with LVM on top, if I install using the alternate install cd will I have no issues with this configuration at all?
[22:27] <ZykoticK9> admin_masu3701, System / Admin / Users & Groups - double click your user, User Privileges tab, check "Administer the system"
[22:27] <mycroes> I don't want to recreate my array or my volumegroup of course
[22:27] <geurt> i have a question... today i installed Debian Lenny on a Dell 2950 server... i had to manually load the non-free bnx2 firmware... does Ubuntu has this firmware included by the install cd?
[22:28] <Dr_willis> geurt,  if its non-free - i doubt it.
[22:28] <liminal> im getting no sound from extneral spoeakers plugged in
[22:28] <mycroes> oh and I use ext4 for my homedir, does 9.04 support it out of the box?
[22:28] <admin_masu3701> Zykotick9: it says: The configuration could not be loaded..you are not allowed to access the system configuration
[22:29] <ZykoticK9> admin_masu3701, have any other account on this system?
[22:29] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, use su <admin_user>
[22:29] <rww> !jaunty | mycroes
[22:29] <admin_masu3701> no..its my laptop, so am the only one use it
[22:29] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, then enter the admin users passwd
[22:29] <geurt> well it was no problem... i loaded it from an usb drive.... but when i want to install via DRAC interface... things are e little bit nasty
[22:30] <mycroes> rww, should I ask concerning the other stuff there too? It's more ubuntu generic than jaunty specific
[22:30] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, how did you create your user account?
[22:30] <evilbug> what is the command to add an openoffice shortcut to one of my panels?
[22:30] <admin_masu3701> when i installed the system
[22:31] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, what's the output of "groups"
[22:31] <ZykoticK9> evilbug, drag'n drop the icon from the "start" menu
[22:31] <rww> mycroes: if you're going to be installing jaunty, ask questions in #ubuntu+1. If you're going to be installing intrepid or below (which don't support ext4), ask here.
[22:31] <admin_masu3701> mycroes: mchris www-data
[22:31] <nigtv>  /DCCSEND
[22:31] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, did you add yourself to the www-data group?
[22:31] <nigtv> AHHH
[22:32] <admin_masu3701> no i never played with adding user to group
[22:32] <evilbug> ZykoticK9: i'm in xubuntu and it won't let me do that.
[22:32] <Pazy> Can someone help me get flash working please. I just installed from a 8.04 disk and installed flash (flashpluginnonfree I think) and it didnt work in the preinstalled firefox. I tried getting the .deb and then the .tar.gz manual installation but I still cant get it to work.
[22:32] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, normally the output of groups should list stuff like 'admin', 'dialout' and more for the default user created by the installer
[22:32] <ZykoticK9> mycroes, admin_masu3701 this seems like a bit of a catch22 situation, how can a non-admin users add themselves to the admin group???
[22:33] <mycroes> easy
[22:33] <nigtv> Pazy: you can get it from the flash site, and its free
[22:33] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, I think you need to boot in safe mode
[22:33] <ZykoticK9> evilbug, sorry i assumed you where using gnome - i don't use XFCE so I got nothing sorry.
[22:33] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, that should drop you to a root (superuser) shell
[22:33] <Pazy> nigtv: I did, I download the .deb and the .tar.gz version but neither is working.
[22:33] <evilbug> ZykoticK9: no worries.
[22:33] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, there you can add yourself to the correct groups again
[22:33] <admin_masu3701> mycroes: i did that and added myself to admin
[22:33] <nigtv> did you build and install it?
[22:33] <ZykoticK9> Pazy, did you restart firefox after flash install?
[22:34] <admin_masu3701> but no change
[22:34] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, as long as "groups" doesn't list admin, you're not in the admin group
[22:34] <Pazy> Yes I restarted firefox. And I didnt have to build it the .deb I double click the and the synaptic thing took care of it and the .tar.gz unzipped to an install I ran from the command line.
[22:34] <ZykoticK9> admin_masu3701, you're not in the admin group now, you might want to try again.
[22:34] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, how did you add yourself to the admin group in safe mode?
[22:35] <Qube> Hi all,
[22:35] <nigtv> also, i had problems with that too because i got the most recent flash player, but only had the firefox that was in the repos, which is an old version
[22:35] <nigtv> do you have the latest firefox installed?
[22:35] <Pazy> I only have the one in the repo I think. Ill update and see what happens.
[22:36] <nigtv> you will have to reinstall flash after that as well Pazy, the new install will overwrite it
[22:36] <yoyit2> how safe is it to be downloading torrent movies??
[22:36] <blafasel_> Anyone in here using 8.04 and already using an unstable version of tomboy? Or available for a test? ;)
[22:36] <admin_masu3701> mycroes: another thing is that i commanded the recovery mode in boot menu so it doesnt give me the option to choose recovery mode
[22:36] <Pazy> Ok dookie :) Fingers crossed
[22:36] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, yes you can, press e when highlighting the default entry
[22:36] <ZykoticK9> yoyit2, wrong channel for that question, this is an Ubuntu channel -- and only you can really answer that question anyways
[22:36] <Qube> I've been using the following zsh prompt in bsd/solaris for a while: http://aperiodic.net/phil/prompt/ - however, un ubuntu (JeOS) it just doesn't work... I suspect the default terminfo/termcap doesn't support extended character set, even though it is en_GB.UTF-8 - anyone have any idea whats going on? this is ubuntu specific... other linuxes in work seem to work fine
[22:36] <admin_masu3701> and i cant edit menu list cause i dnt have permission
[22:36] <andash> hi, how would i ignore this line? http://pb.lericson.se/pblbYg/text/ it's a line from the output of the command 'blist' in bitlbee, and it goes to my hilightwin which i don't wan't... i've tried various /ignore reg expressions but can't get it quite right. the channel is &bitlbee btw, thanks.
[22:36] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, ok
[22:37] <nigtv> andash: comment it out in a text editor, add # before the line
[22:37] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, well then I think you need to boot from a livecd, mount your install, chroot into your install, add yourself to the admin group, exit chroot, unmount, reboot
[22:37] <andash> nigtv: sorry, wrong channel...
[22:37] <nigtv> ah
[22:37] <emma> Say guys I keep losing my audio lately in intrepid, it almost seems random, after a lot of inactivity. Anyone else have this, or any insights?
[22:38] <yoyit2> ZykoticK9: it is relevent to ubuntu as i am asking if there are any viruses in them that can effect linux
[22:38] <admin_masu3701> mycroes: i have a 8.10 live cd here...but how to i do that?
[22:38] <reescott> Anyone know of a good tutorial for setting up NFS for filesharing between Ubuntu and Mac os x?
[22:38] <nigtv> emma: on laptops that happens often, it has to do with acpi
[22:38] <ZykoticK9> yoyit2, http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[22:38] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, heh, now you're getting to stuff that's not as easy to explain
[22:38] <emma> im not on a laptop, im on a dekstop. I'm using intrepid gnome edition.
[22:38] <rww> !viruses | yoyit2
[22:38] <rww> !virus | yoyit2
[22:38] <nigtv> could happen on a desktop as well
[22:38] <ziroday> emma: I've had that a couple of times, error messages when trying to play audio in totem etc?
[22:39] <nigtv> you can try turning acpi off, that might help, for me when that happend i just logged out and back in emma
[22:39] <sisto> hi! can a extended partition be used as swap?
[22:39] <rww> sisto: yes
[22:39] <nigtv> sisto: yea, should be that way
[22:40] <Mood> how do i update/upgrade 1 app instead of everything?
[22:40] <rww> sisto: in fact, Ubuntu's default partitioning scheme does it that way :)
[22:40] <reescott> Can someone point me to a good tutorial for setting up NFS?
[22:40] <ZykoticK9> reescott, i had some trouble with NFS and OSX until i found the "insecure" option, good luck.
[22:40] <nigtv> Mood: sudo apt-get update _________
[22:40] <nigtv> _____ = the program
[22:40] <admin_masu3701> mycroers: lol..yea i understand..this stuff can be complicated
[22:40] <Mood> nigtv: thank you kind sir
[22:40] <nigtv> Mood: wait actually
[22:41] <nigtv> just sudo apt-get install _____, that will check the version
[22:41] <sisto> rww: thx! I want to install mac os, windows and ubuntu and have a 4th "storage" partition... so I want to put the storage partition and the swap as logical volumes on a extended partition
[22:41] <Mood> nigtv: ahh ok
[22:41] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, do you know what device is your root device?
[22:41] <reescott> ok, I'll check into that one
[22:41] <m-1> can any one help me make a bootable USB with UBUNTU?
[22:41] <mycroes> m-1, just livecd from usb?
[22:41] <emma> ziroday: no real error message, just randomly no audio. I just had some luck by killing X when the gdm starts up again the audio is back...
[22:41] <Mood> how do i check versions in repository? if i do a sudo apt-cache search X, it doesn't show version
[22:41] <emma> nigtv: yeah i just killed X, when the gdm started again, audio was back..
[22:41] <admin_masu3701> mycroes: i dont think i know...
[22:41] <ziroday> emma: right, you tried restarting pulseaudio?
[22:42] <rww> sisto: You can put all of Ubuntu's partitions in an extended partition, actually, not just swap.
[22:42] <m-1> no want to make a bootable Ubuntu USB drive
[22:42] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, how experienced are you (on the command line)
[22:42] <ziroday> emma: what's printed in the terminal when trying to play audio through totem?
[22:42] <emma> ziroday:  that's what I was trying to do. I did ps aux | grep pulse  to see what processes i might kill, but the first one i killed (unknowingly) was X.
[22:42] <fouad> archive.ubuntu.com can be described as a loadbalancing http server right?
[22:42] <emma> ziroday: it seems to be acting like normal only no sound.
[22:42] <admin_masu3701> mycroes: i know the basics
[22:42] <SchmittyDoesIt> dacashane
[22:42] <rww> sisto: My fdisk -l looks like http://paste.ubuntu.com/126462/ , in fact. That might make things easier :)
[22:42] <sisto> rww: ok that sounds like a good idea
[22:42] <SchmittyDoesIt> all night long
[22:42] <nigtv> Mood: sudo apt-get --simulate install ____
[22:43] <jonathon> hey, is there a way to install ubuntu with disk encryption?
[22:43] <srid> what is the {a} in the output of aptitude?
[22:43] <nigtv> thats what i do, there are better ways though, like just open aptitude and search it
[22:43] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, ok, well I'll try to explain it...
[22:43] <rww> srid: automatically installed, I think
[22:43] <ziroday> emma: ah :P, well normally when I get this issue I kill pulseaudio and then restart it, its usually good as gold. If it happens again try to capture the error message from totme.
[22:43] <Mood> nigtv: thank you again kind sir
[22:43] <admin_masu3701> mycroes: ok thank you
[22:43] <DasEI> jonathon: sure, use the alternate installer or do manual cryptsetup
[22:43] <jonathon> hm, ok, thanks!
[22:43] <sisto> rww: I'm done with mac os now I'm installing windows through bootcamp
[22:43] <emma> ziroday: you mean in some log? I get no gui error from totem.
[22:44] <sisto> rww: thanks for your help!!
[22:44] <emma> ziroday: you mean like start totem from command line and see any error messages in terminal?
[22:44] <ziroday> emma: no, from starting totem from the terminal and then trying to play some audio
[22:44] <DasEI> jonathon: google has lots of tuts, and truecrypt also works on ubu
[22:44] <magcius> Is Firefox 3.2 alpha broken in Jaunty?
[22:44] <ziroday> emma: yeah :)
[22:44] <jeremie> hi!!!
[22:44] <emma> ziroday: gotchya :)
[22:44] <killer> hi .. can i rsync over ftp
[22:44] <DasEI> !jaunty | magcius
[22:44] <emma> ziroday: seems likely it's a pulseaudio problem to me. killing X probably restarted pulse.
[22:44] <jeremie> !i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i
[22:44] <nigtv> oh wow im hungry bbl
[22:44] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, start up the livecd, open a terminal, type "sudo -s", type "mount /dev/<root-device> /mnt", type "chroot /mnt /bin/bash", type "gpasswd -a mchris admin", type "exit", type "umount /mnt", reboot
[22:44] <ziroday> emma: yeah, there was a bug filed somewhere, lemme try dig it up
[22:44] <jeremie> #cool
[22:45] <ZykoticK9> magcius, probably a better question for #ubuntu+1?
[22:45] <emma> ziroday: cool if you do i will add to the confirmation of it.
[22:45] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, I don't know if /mnt is empty on the livecd by default, that might otherwise make the mount fail
[22:45] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, also, you can find out what your root device is by typing "mount" in your current install
[22:45] <jonathon> DasEI, any idea if encryption support is better under 8.10?
[22:46] <RoastedTiresX> When using Samba with Ubuntu, is it about average to get 8.8MB/second from 1 wired device to another wired device on a 10/100 switch?
[22:46] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, also I assumed your username is mchris (got that from the groups output)
[22:46] <DasEI> jonathon: it's same in 8.04 and 8.10
[22:46] <nigtv> okay, one more, i know that if i $rm -rf *red*, i will delete everything with red in the name in my current dir, but how do i make this do all dirs?
[22:46] <admin_masu3701> yes
[22:46] <epictetu1> RoastedTiresX: Yeah...
[22:46] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, and last but not least this should work, but if any of the steps fail it won't work (except for unmounting perhaps :P)
[22:46] <oshua86> so, when I try to install some engines it tells me that "GTK+2.8" needs to be installed, how do I do this?
[22:46] <DasEI> jonathon: in general there's always the fact to have an unencrypted /boot
[22:46] <jonathon> right, with you there
[22:47] <epictetu1> RoastedTiresX: Theoretical maximum assuming there were no overhead should be 12.5 megs/second (100 megabits = 12.5 megabytes)
[22:47] <RoastedTiresX> epictetul - is that about what windows XP to windows XP gets too on a 10/100 switch? Like the fact I'm using Ubuntu/Samba, would that hinder speeds?
[22:47] <epictetu1> but usually there's a significant amount of overhead (packet headers, other packets, etc etc)
[22:47] <gldtn> where in the file system dows the trash files go to? I need to delete something from trash bin, but it was sent with the user root.. so I can't delete as the regular user
[22:48] <DasEI> !trash
[22:48] <epictetu1> 8 is maybe a little on the slow side, I think 10 is probably more typical
[22:48] <gldtn> thanks DasEI
[22:48] <vosque> klatuu ubottu nikto
[22:48] <epictetu1> RoastedTiresX: but you're definitely in the ballpark
[22:48] <admin_masu3701> mycroers: to find out the mount device do i type mount in the terminal?
[22:49] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, yes, right now
[22:49] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, not after rebooting
[22:49] <ilovebrownies> Can I get some help with dual booting Ubuntu and Arch please?
[22:49] <RoastedTiresX> epictetul - Well, I have a feeling I might be more in the 10 range.  The last 6-7 minutes of the transfer went by in a matter of seconds. When I run the calculation thrugh @ 29/30 minutes to transfer 18.0 gigabytes, it comes out at around 10 to 10.2 MB/second.
[22:49] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, for example on line in my "mount" output lists the following: /dev/mapper/vg-root on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,barrier=1,data=ordered)
[22:49] <ortsvorsteher> !dualboot | ilovebrownies
[22:49] <admin_masu3701> mycroes: the output is very long
[22:49] <epictetu1> RoastedTiresX: Yeah that's about right then.
[22:49] <jonathon> wow, a legitimate use of bittorrent!
[22:50] <nigtv> okay, one more, i know that if i $rm -rf *red*, i will delete everything with red in the name in my current dir, but how do i make this do all dirs?
[22:50] <admin_masu3701> i get /dev/sda3 on /typ ext3
[22:50] <RoastedTiresX> epictetul - XP told me it would take 34 minutes the second I started transferring. Then I look over and it was 7 minutes. A minute or two went by and it was done. I was just basing my observation off of the 34 minutes XP originally told me.
[22:50] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, find the line that lists a device on the left site and / on the right side
[22:50] <ilovebrownies> I think I need a little more human help
[22:50] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, then it's /dev/sda3
[22:51] <ilovebrownies> Anyone?
[22:51] <mycroes> RoastedTiresX, then you need another 11 hours for drivers and dropping cruft
[22:51] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, yes
[22:51] <RoastedTiresX> mycroes - excuse me??
[22:51] <epictetu1> 8 port gigabit switches are typically $60 now
[22:51] <nigtv> ilovebrownies: what exactly are you have trouble with
[22:51] <imfluxible> has anybody downloaded pyscrabble from synaptic?  i am having trouble understanding the configuration process.  you have to enter some sort of hostname:port number ... and i don't know what to put there.  it offers you a couple of public servers, and says it will save the info, but doesn't seem to work.
[22:51] <epictetu1> or so
[22:51] <epictetu1> 5 port even cheaper
[22:51] <mycroes> RoastedTiresX, after 34 (or 7) minutes of XP setup you need another 11 hours before it's somewhat usable
[22:51] <oshua86> anybody can tell me how to install/upgrade to GTK+2.8?
[22:51] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, you should have 2 grub configs by now
[22:52] <admin_masu3701> so replace sda3 for root device right
[22:52] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, one from ubuntu, one from arch
[22:52] <RoastedTiresX> mycroes - xp SETUP? like installing XP?? I'm confused. :(
[22:52] <mycroes> "<RoastedTiresX> epictetul - XP told me it would take 34 minutes the second I started transferring. Then I look over and it was 7 minutes. A minute or two went by and it was done. I was just basing my observation off of the 34 minutes XP originally told me."
[22:52] <ilovebrownies> But where do I install GRUB for Arch?
[22:52] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, you don't
[22:52] <RoastedTiresX> epictetul - Question. I have a router... off of the router I have the switch... When I'm trasnferring data between 2 computesr on the switch, does the data bounce up to the router? Or does it just go to the switch and sling it over to the other computer without making a hop to the router?
[22:52] <mrwes> re
[22:53] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, you add your arch entries to the ubuntu grub by hand
[22:53] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, only makes upgrading kernels on arch a bit harder
[22:53] <mrwes> ilovebrownies, just make sure you put them below the magic Ubuntu entry line
[22:53] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, another possibility is to install the arch grub on a partition instead of the mbr, and then chainload that partition from the ubuntu grub
[22:54] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, but chainloading a second grub sounds kinda useless to me, it's just less work maintaining in the end perhaps
[22:54] <DasEI> RoastedTiresX: just the switch, it does the adressing-thing
[22:55] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, sorry, didn't see your question yet, yes, the line will become "mount /dev/sda3 /mnt"
[22:55] <admin_masu3701> mycroes: so let me double check the commands and instruction to see if i got it right before i boot the cd
[22:55] <ZykoticK9> RoastedTiresX, that is assuming that it really is a "switch" and not a "hub"
[22:55] <ilovebrownies> mycroes, I didn't know how to do this, because I got confused thinking about /boot
[22:55] <admin_masu3701> mycroes: sudo -s
[22:55] <RoastedTiresX> Zykotick9 - It's a netgear 5 port Fast ethernet switch 10/100
[22:55] <admin_masu3701> mount /dev/sda3/mnt
[22:55] <nigtv> okay, one more, i know that if i $rm -rf *red*, i will delete everything with red in the name in my current dir, but how do i make this do all dirs?
[22:55] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, got it figured out now, or still need more help?
[22:56] <admin_masu3701> chroot /mnt/bin/bash
[22:56] <ZykoticK9> RoastedTiresX, yes, then DasEI answer is correct
[22:56] <admin_masu3701> gpasswd -a mchris admin
[22:56] <admin_masu3701> exit
[22:56] <admin_masu3701> unmount /mnt
[22:56] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, "chroot /mnt /bin/bash" <<< there's a space between '/mnt' and '/bin/bash'
[22:56] <admin_masu3701> ok
[22:56] <RoastedTiresX> sweet deal. I always wnated to get a gigabit network going, but if that meant my 10/100 ports on my router would bottleneck everything, I didn't want to even bother with upgrading the switch only
[22:56] <mycroes> and it's "umount /mnt", without the N
[22:56] <ilovebrownies> mycroes, what do I add exactly?
[22:57] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, ubuntu grub is currently installed to your mbr, right?
[22:57] <DasEI> nigtv:the -are does this already, see man rm
[22:57] <DasEI> -r
[22:57] <ilovebrownies> mycroes, yes
[22:57] <dotblank> If I break my grub install how can I re-install it from an ubuntu-live cd
[22:58] <admin_masu3701> mycroes: so i will boot up the cd and try...thanks alot for your help
[22:58] <DasEI> !grub
[22:58] <admin_masu3701> will let you know how it goes
[22:58] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, good luck
[22:58] <mycroes> admin_masu3701, great
[22:58] <admin_masu3701> thanks
[22:58] <ZykoticK9> DasEI, ilovebrownies actually it doesn't, it tested "-r" does mean recursive, but it doesn't work in the way that ilovebrownies wants :(
[22:58] <mycroes> yw
[22:58] <dotblank> Service Temporarily Unavailable :(
[22:58] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, do you know what device is /boot for your arch install?
[22:59] <dotblank> help.ubuntu.com seems to be down
[22:59] <ilovebrownies> mycroes, you mean which HDD?
[22:59] <DasEI> ZykoticK9: try -R ?
[22:59] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, no, I mean which linux block device
[22:59] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, or grub device identifier will do
[22:59] <dotblank> !grub
[22:59] <ZykoticK9> DasEI, no change
[22:59] <dotblank> ^^ would do that but link is broken
[22:59] <ilovebrownies> mycroes, I know that it's sda6 if that helps?
[23:00] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, yes that does help
[23:00] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, the grub identifier for that will be (hd0,5)
[23:00] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, now you just need to do 2 things
[23:01] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, first, start grub (from a terminal), type "root (hd0,5)", type "setup (hd0,5)", type "exit"
[23:01] <DasEI> dotblank: looks like, let's meet in #grub, k ?
[23:01] <dotblank> k
[23:01] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, this should give some output saying it found some stuff (stage1, stage2 or something like that)
[23:02] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, when that's done, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add a chainload entry for (hd0,5)
[23:02] <RoastedTiresX> epictetul - I just did a transfer test with a 1gb file. It took me 2 minutes and 10 seconds to transfer, which comes out to about 8.5MB/second. So I guess I'm still hanging around the low end of things.
[23:02] <tyta> tekteen is wayyyy too good at *nix
[23:02] <ilovebrownies> mycroes, to run grub in a terminal I just type grub?
[23:02] <ZykoticK9> FYI it does appear that help.ubuntu.com is currently down...
[23:03] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, yes, maybe "sudo grub" :P
[23:03] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, I guess you need to be root, and grub might be in /sbin too, so try "sudo grub"
[23:03] <tekteen> lmao
[23:03] <imfluxible> has anybody downloaded pyscrabble from synaptic?  i am having trouble understanding the configuration process.  you have to enter some sort of hostname:port number ... and i don't know what to put there.  it offers you a couple of public servers, and says it will save the info, but doesn't seem to work.
[23:03] <liminal> hi
[23:03] <liminal> crashed out
[23:05] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, any luck yet?
[23:05] <ilovebrownies> mycroes, I'm not getting a new prompt after typing setup (hd0.5), does it take a while?
[23:05] <tekteen> mycroes: I love grub ;-). Can you tell me what the problem is, I missed it
[23:06] <getBoa> hi y'all... How lightweight is XFCE in relation to Gnome ?
[23:06] <tekteen> getBoa: according to a friend of mine. rock (gnome) and feather (xfce)
[23:07] <vladdY> hi, i'm sorry, i'm mentally retarded, how can i start monodevelop in ubuntu linux
[23:07] <austin> My server mesed up, and when i run ifconfig it only shows lo....can anyone help me?
[23:07] <vladdY> i think i installed it properly
[23:07] <tekteen> getBoa: he just installed xfce to replace gnome on a really slow machine and it sped up
[23:07] <liminal> im looking for a driver for Realtek ALC662
[23:07] <GeorgeAScott> hello again.  my soundblaster is no longer capturing sound.  i can hear mic input, but the computer can not
[23:07] <liminal> i thought ubuntu ran it as standard tho
[23:07] <rascal999>  I'm trying to distribute a livecd image through pxe, i have done this before successfully and atm can get as far as the dhcp request been granted.
[23:07] <rascal999>  but then pxe reports a boot filename not received, is this indicative of no tftp in place or?
[23:08] <tekteen> liminal: chances are it either comes with ubuntu or you are not going to get it
[23:08] <mycroes> tekteen, I love grub too
[23:08] <tekteen> !drivers
[23:08] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, no, shouldn't take long
[23:08] <SchmittyDoesIt> aha!
[23:08] <austin> I think i messed up my server
[23:08] <liminal> my sound was working yesturday, but not todahy
[23:08] <austin> i need help....
[23:08] <liminal> and ive no idea why
[23:08] <mycroes> tekteen, ilovebrownies wants to have access to his arch install too
[23:08] <hunt577_> Can I install ndiswrapper on the the livecd to make sure I can get it to work with my wireless card before I install ubuntu?
[23:08] <austin> i ran control alt delte by accedent, can anyone help me reset my settigns
[23:08] <GeorgeAScott> and patchage no longer shows a capture device.
[23:08] <vladdY> anyone able to help with me with monodevelop?
[23:09] <tekteen> mycroes: what are you doing the setup cmd for?
[23:09] <ilovebrownies> mycroes, I think I installed grub from the Arch installer, but didn't configure it.
[23:09] <getBoa> tekteen: got it... well so it might be worth the installation... my machine is not that slow but i wanna speed up as much as possible
[23:09] <tekteen> liminal: that is not a "I need a driver problem". Next time, just say what is going on
[23:09] <ZykoticK9> austin, do you get any cards with "dmesg | grep eth"?
[23:10] <tekteen> getBoa: I would not do it if it is not unbarably slow
[23:10] <soreau> Is there a log of updates performed by update-manager or if you do apt-get update/upgrade?
[23:10] <GeorgeAScott> ive been to every device in volume control and made sure nothing is muted... several times now.  i still can't get any sound to capture.
[23:10] <liminal> ah well the problem is my sound has disappeared and ive no idea why
[23:10] <tekteen> mycroes: is ubuntu's grub installed? or arch
[23:11] <getBoa> tekteen: it's a AMD Turion X2-64 2gig ram 250hd...
[23:11] <ZykoticK9> austin, something with "addr 00:xx:xx..."
[23:11] <AdamDV> HOw do II do an OEM install of ubuntu 8.10?
[23:11] <ilovebrownies> tekteen, Ubuntus
[23:11] <tekteen> getBoa: stick to gnome :-)
[23:11] <Gartral1> slitly noobish Q: how do i tell what fs im running from in the console?
[23:11] <austin> ZykoticK9, wate, eth0 came up again.i just did Cntl alt delet again...what is this for?
[23:11] <getBoa> tekteen: :-)
[23:11] <tekteen> ilovebrownies: so what you need to do is add an entry to ubuntu's menu.list to start arch
[23:11] <ZykoticK9> austin, if it's working again, it's all good
[23:12] <mycroes> tekteen, and I was explaining him how to chainload the arch grub so he doesn't have to change his ubuntu menu'lst everytime arch updates
[23:12] <tekteen> ok
[23:12] <ilovebrownies> tekteen, yes, but I don't know how exactly
[23:12] <austin> ZyoticK9, my server won't display anything htough
[23:12] <austin> thats a bit of a problem
[23:13] <Gartral1> sometimes you just have to accept that it's working without understanding why
[23:13] <tekteen> mycroes, is grub installed on arch?
[23:13] <ZykoticK9> austin, sorry i thought you where the one without a network card????
[23:13] <tekteen> mycroes: I have never done chain loading before
[23:13] <austin> ZykoticK9, i was...i thought that was the problem.. Now my server won't show anything
[23:13] <Gartral1> slitly noobish Q: how do i tell what filesystem im running from in the console?
[23:13] <liminal> so anyone got any ideas on how to get mys sound back?
[23:14] <tekteen> mycroes: is grub on arch?
[23:14] <Matir> does anyone know where I can download the iso or image to install the dell custom version of ubuntu for the mini 9?  I got one from Sam's club and they only had windows available :(
[23:14] <ZykoticK9> austin, have you tried restarting it?  power button if necessary?
[23:14] <austin> ZykoticK9, lemmi see...
[23:15] <tekteen> Gartral1: probably ext3, I believe if you type mount that would tell you every place and format partitions are mounted
[23:15] <austin> it was wokring fine, untill i did cntl alt del
[23:15] <tekteen> !sound > liminal
[23:15] <nv1> my computer doesn't shutdown or suspend. I red the faq already
[23:15] <tekteen> mycroes: you there?
[23:15] <ZykoticK9> Matir, http://mydellmini.com/forum/dell-mini-9-ubuntu-restore-iso-image-t287.html gives a demonoid or piratebay link
[23:15] <getBoa> /quitr
[23:15] <tekteen> ilovebrownies?
[23:15] <mycroes> tekteen, sorry
[23:15] <Matir> ZykoticK9, thanks
[23:16] <mycroes> tekteen, was here
[23:16] <AdamDV> anyone?
[23:16] <tekteen> ok
[23:16] <mycroes> tekteen, I gave him instructions how to install grub to his arch /boot partition
[23:16] <tekteen> ok
[23:16] <tekteen> shouldn't there be a package from arch to do it?
[23:16] <|chiz|> Gartral1: cat /etc/mtab
[23:16] <mycroes> tekteen, from ilovebrownies' comments I assume he has an arch install that uses grub
[23:16] <mycroes> tekteen, to do what?
[23:16] <ilovebrownies> tekteen, I installed grub on Arch, but probably not correctly
[23:16] <austin>  ZykoticK9, still doing it
[23:17] <mycroes> tekteen, normally you isntall grub to the mbr
[23:17] <ZykoticK9> AdamDV, what do you mean by OEM install are you an Origion Equipment Manufactuer?
[23:17] <mycroes> tekteen, but you can't use two different configs with just one grub install
[23:17] <liminal> i was using OSS mixer for my sound card offical driver
[23:17] <|chiz|> Gartral1: mount does pretty much the same too
[23:17] <austin> as in it wont work
[23:17] <tekteen> mycroes: I know, but if you are chainloading, you need to install it to /boot on arch
[23:17] <lexvegas> AdamDV you should be able to select the option when you inseret the cd, before you select "try Ubuntu"
[23:17] <tekteen> mycroes: I know
[23:17] <ZykoticK9> austin, still doing what?  restarting?
[23:17] <mycroes> tekteen, yes, so I explained him how to install grub to his arch /boot :P
[23:17] <dotblank> Why would anyone want to install grub to the mbr? its crazy cause the mbr isn't in the partition and making backups are more difficult
[23:17] <austin> ZykoticK9, it won't display anything when itype in my ip address and my name
[23:18] <mycroes> tekteen, and that's where he is now
[23:18] <AdamDV> lexvegas: In intrepid?
[23:18] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, what was the output of root (hd0,5)
[23:18] <tekteen> mycroes: isn't there an easy package to install grub in arch?
[23:18] <Mox`> hi, i'm having troubles with bind on my gateway? if I use my gatewas as dns server nothing works, If I use the dns the gateway resolves, it works just fine? how to fix this? :S
[23:18] <mycroes> tekteen, he has grub installed in arch
[23:18] <tekteen> ok
[23:18] <mycroes> tekteen, he just needs to install it to the arch /boot partition, because normally it gets installed to the mbr so you can use it...
[23:19] <tekteen> ok
[23:19] <ilovebrownies> mycroes, No output
[23:19] <Rodrigo_Lopes> good night for everbody

[23:22] <WeakyWaa> hellloooooooooooo buntu-ppl
[23:22] <ilovebrownies> mycroes, I just remembered I formatted to ext4
[23:22] <backenfutter> I need to figure out how to install the app »vncpasswd« can't find it in apt-cache... could somebody help please?
[23:22] <dotblank> sdlmame Is vastly better then xmame btw
[23:22] <ilovebrownies> mycroes,  my arch partitions
[23:22] <DasEI> Rodrigo_Lopes: there's xmame for arcade games
[23:22] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, /boot too?
[23:22] <tekteen> liminal: try something. open a terminal and type alsamixer. Make sure master is not 0
[23:22] <Dr_willis> backenfutter,  i thought it was part of several of the vncserver packages.. try installing vnc4server
[23:22] <Dr_willis> !info vnc4server
[23:23] <ilovebrownies> mycroes, didn't make a /boot partition
[23:23] <Dr_willis> !find vncpasswd
[23:23] <madhatter1> hey everyone.. quick question.. I've got some sata hot-swap bays so drive mounting is getting confusing with different ones being on/off... any way to add drives to fstab by their serial number, or any other unique identifier?
[23:23] <hunt577> how do I join this chat through Pidgin
[23:23] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, heh
[23:23] <Dr_willis> Hmm looks like its in there also. :)
[23:23] <ilovebrownies> mycroes, just realised how stupid that is
[23:23] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, well then there's only one solution
[23:23] <backenfutter> Dr_willis: I use vncviewer - it's man page tells me to create password file with vncpasswd, however that app is not onmy hdd
[23:23] <DasEI> madhatter1: man blkid
[23:23] <dotblank> madhatter: yes, by uuid
[23:23] <coreyman> Why can i not browse the web with konqueror, and kde network manager?
[23:23] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, copy your arch kernel over to your ubuntu /boot
[23:23] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, also copy the initrd if you have one
[23:23] <coreyman>  I can access my router
[23:24] <madhatter1> DasEI: thanks
[23:24] <Dr_willis> backenfutter,  thas because the appis in the vncserver packages.. i imagine..
[23:24] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, then add the entry for the kernel
[23:24] <tekteen> coreyman: go to #kubuntu
[23:24] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, that should work too
[23:24] <coreyman> ok tekteen
[23:24] <hunt577> How do I access this room through Pidgin Messanger?
[23:24] <DasEI> hunt577: new account > irc>irc.ubuntu.com>#ubuntu
[23:24] <ilovebrownies> mycroes, If I were to reinstall Arch instead, would it be as easy as creating a /boot for arch?
[23:24] <liminal> igive up for the night
[23:24] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, I'm gone for a bit now, if you need any help with what I just told you I'm positive tekteen can help you
[23:25] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, yes
[23:25] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, almost
[23:25] <liminal> thanks for tryig tek
[23:25] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, you still need to do the steps I explained
[23:25] <kriss3d> anyone know what the program kdm does ?
[23:25] <ilovebrownies> mycroes,  Ok I'll try that thanks! :)
[23:25] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, but it would be somewhat easier, especially in the case of kernel upgrades in arch
[23:25] <mycroes> ilovebrownies, good luck
[23:25] <hunt577> I have created the irc account DasEl but I am not sure how to actually get in this room
[23:25] <Rodrigo_Lopes> How to install mame in slackware???
[23:26] <hunt577> it just gives me a messanger window where I can add people to my list
[23:26] <coreyman> tekteen i went to kubuntu and noone is answering any questions
[23:26] <kriss3d> hunt577 well irc isnt like aim or msn..
[23:26] <admin_masu3701> mycroes: thank you very much
[23:26] <admin_masu3701> it did work
[23:26] <tekteen> coreyman: they are the people who tend to know kde
[23:26] <admin_masu3701> you're the hero
[23:26] <coreyman> tekteen i spoke to soon, someone is talking now
[23:26] <hunt577> kriss3d I know but you can get into this room through there because I was in it through there the other night but can't remember
[23:27] <foo_> his
[23:27] <kriss3d> hunt577 do you mean using a real irc program instead of via a website or somthing ?
[23:27] <DasEI> hunt577: have you got buddy list on ubuntu.com ?
[23:28] <ilovebrownies> tekteen: since mycroes left, can you help me?
[23:28] <hunt577> I am using Pidgin messanger and have set up my irc account on it, I am hunt577_  on it
[23:29] <tekteen> ilovebrownies: I need to go soon XD, what do you need help with?
[23:29] <hunt577> right kriss3d
[23:29] <H3l1c0pt3r> hunt577: you add a new account IRC and put irc.ubuntu.com as the server, when you get to the blank window you go to buddies and "enter chat" then enter #ubuntu as the channel and it will come up
[23:29] <TheKoenigsegg> Anyone using xchat? Is it impossible to autojoin password protected channels on startup with it?
[23:29] <hunt577> ahh worked that time thanks
[23:29] <ilovebrownies> tekteen: in the arch beginners guide, it doesn't tell me to create a /boot partition, isn't it 'under' /?
[23:29] <tekteen> ilovebrownies: what do you need help with?
[23:29]  * chalcedony smiles
[23:30] <ilovebrownies> tekteen: do I make a whole new partition?
[23:30] <chalcedony> TheKoenigsegg: i'd ask in #xchat i don't think it's impossible
[23:30] <hunt577_> ok cool I am here under Pidgin messanger now
[23:30] <chalcedony> hunt577_: good for you
[23:30] <tekteen> ilovebrownies: where is this guide?
[23:30] <chalcedony> i never figured out irc on it
[23:30] <hunt577_> ok I am within the livecd of ubuntu
[23:30] <TheKoenigsegg> chalcedony: k, thx
[23:31] <ilovebrownies> tekteen: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners_Guide
[23:31] <chalcedony> does anyone know a command to minimize all your windows, so you can see the desktop and then put them back?
[23:31] <Khisanth> TheKoenigsegg: it's in the xchat FAQ :)
[23:31] <BZH> !france
[23:31] <hunt577_> I have  a laptop trying to get wireless through ubuntu but since it doesn't work I have my ethernet cable plugged into the side of the laptop and gonna try installing ndiswrapper to get the correct driver for my wireless card
[23:31] <H3l1c0pt3r> chalcedony: its ctrl+d i believe
[23:31] <chalcedony> Khisanth: good to see you :)
[23:31] <H3l1c0pt3r> chalcedony: its ctrl+alt+d
[23:32] <chalcedony> ah ty much H3l1c0pt3r :)
[23:32] <tony_> Anyone here managed to setup checkpoint vpn client within ubuntu/debian?

[23:32] <BZH> !breton
[23:32] <hunt577_> thanks
[23:32] <tekteen> ilovebrownies: why do you need to create a new partition?
[23:33] <ilovebrownies> tekteen: mycroes told me I needed to
[23:33] <tekteen> ok
[23:33] <AdamDV> !find openssh
[23:34] <AdamDV> !find sshfs
[23:34] <H3l1c0pt3r> AdamDV: you can do that in pvt with ubottu
[23:34] <AdamDV> Heh. Sorry.
[23:34] <ilovebrownies> tekteen: I tried installing grub to the / partition I created for arch
[23:34] <mattfred> what is a good channel to go to ask questions?
[23:34] <AdamDV> hs one..
[23:34] <AdamDV> *This
[23:34] <Khisanth> that depends on the kind of questions you want to ask
[23:35] <tekteen> ilovebrownies: and what happened?
[23:35] <isteal> i need help pairing bluetooth headphones and today is my first day with ubuntu... anyone help?
[23:35] <DasEI> !ot > mattfred
[23:35] <ilovebrownies> tekteen: nothing, I installed grub from the arch installer first, then I tried what mycroes suggested
[23:36] <zoobox> good evening
[23:36] <H3l1c0pt3r> !bluetooth | isteal
[23:36] <mattfred> Is there a way to disable the default key ring so I don't have to type my password every time i use evolution and/or my wireless connection?
[23:37] <tekteen> ilovebrownies: I really have no idea where you are in the process lol
[23:37] <zoobox> the pager for man is less I think, are there any other key than q to quit the manpage without removing the part of the manpage you read?
[23:37] <tekteen> ilovebrownies: I am really sorry
[23:38] <zoobox> q removes the man-text from the screen, I want to have still there while I write my command
[23:38] <Webu> If I start a background command by using &, how can I access it?
[23:38] <H3l1c0pt3r> zoobox: q quits manpage, if you want open another terminal (CLI) and do commands in there
[23:38] <tekteen> ilovebrownies: I need to go now. sorry
[23:38] <H3l1c0pt3r> zoobox: you can also open another TAB on the terminal
[23:38] <ilovebrownies> tekteen: I did a new arch insall, including grub on the / partition for arch, then I rebooted, and only ubuntu showed up in grub
[23:39] <ilovebrownies> tekteen: Ok
[23:39] <tekteen> ok
[23:39] <zoobox> H3l1c0pt3r:  Tab?
[23:39] <tekteen> um
[23:39] <tekteen> I can stay a little longer I guess
[23:39] <mattfred> Is there a way to disable the default key ring so I don't have to type my password every time i use evolution and/or my wireless connection?
[23:39] <H3l1c0pt3r> zoobox: you have two options. keep one terminal open for the man page, and another open for the commands, or you can use one terminal and go to FILE > open tab (to have multiple tabs like in firefox)
[23:39] <mattfred> also, can i disable the beep everytime i make an invalid keystroke or get new mail in evolution?
[23:40] <ilovebrownies> tekteen: Ok, thanks :)
[23:40] <zoobox> H3l1c0pt3r: yeah an alternative whould be to create an alias man=gnome-terminal -x man  but often I got too many windows allready
[23:40] <ilovebrownies> tekteen: then I tried running grub in a terminal from ubuntu, to install grub on arch
[23:40] <tekteen> ilovebrownies: so we need to setup ubuntu grub to call arch grub?
[23:40] <chalcedony> H3l1c0pt3r: is there a way to get it to put everything back, after ctrl +alt +d ?
[23:40] <zoobox> H3l1c0pt3r: aha you mean tabs like that
[23:40] <H3l1c0pt3r> zoobox: than just use tabs in terminal to use only the 1 terminal window (ctrl+alt+t)
[23:40] <H3l1c0pt3r> chalcedony: yeah ctrl+alt+d again
[23:41] <chalcedony> H3l1c0pt3r: didn't work
[23:41] <H3l1c0pt3r> chalcedony: it should...
[23:41] <chalcedony> worked for rmoving .. not putting them back
[23:41] <zoobox> I whould prefer to have the part of the man-text I have scrolled to, right above the commmand prompt where I am writing my command
[23:41] <ilovebrownies> tekteen: i dunno, can't I just boot arch from ubuntu grub, do I really need two grubs? :P
[23:41] <chalcedony> maybe i just had too much?
[23:41] <H3l1c0pt3r> chalcedony: try it with a few windows open, do ctrl+alt+d and then do it again right away, it should work
[23:41] <Joker_-_> My tv-out screen is larger than the screen itself. As a result, I can<t see any edge of the screen (about an inche each sides)... any idea?
[23:41] <DasEI> tekteen: ilovebrownies:google super-grub-disk
[23:41] <mikewu> zoobox: zoobox try running export LESS="-X", then just scroll to the part that you want and just use q to exit
[23:42] <tekteen> ilovebrownies: ilovebrownies, arch needs to update its grub
[23:42] <Khisanth> zoobox: or man -P "less -X" foo
[23:43] <zoobox> mikewu: perfect! thanks
[23:43] <chalcedony> H3l1c0pt3r: yes it did, with a few
[23:43] <hunt577_> I am not understanding section 3.3 for NDISWrapper on the wireless site
[23:43] <H3l1c0pt3r> chalcedony: could be too many windows to restore, not sure, sorry
[23:43] <mattfred> Is there a way to disable the default key ring so I don't have to type my password every time i use evolution and/or my wireless connection?
[23:43] <chalcedony> ok ty :))
[23:43] <mattfred> also, can i disable the beep everytime i make an invalid keystroke or get new mail in evolution?
[23:43] <ilovebrownies> tekteen: so what's the standard procedure for dual booting two Linux distros?
[23:44] <tekteen> ilovebrownies: chain loading
[23:44] <tekteen> I have never done it XD
[23:44] <ilovebrownies> tekteen: :P
[23:45] <IanFHood> my 'sound preferences' window is frozen open... is there some way to force it to shut down?
[23:45] <Joker_-_> My tv-out screen is larger than the screen itself. As a result, I can<t see any edge of the screen (about an inche each sides)... any idea? I have seen lots of posts of people having the same issue, but none fixing it...
[23:45] <hunt577_> I don't understand this part - Retrieve the Windows driver corresponding to your chipset: Use the ID information you have just found and the ndiswrapper list to find and download the correct windows driver files for your wireless adapter, or one which is very similar (same chipset ID).
[23:46] <tekteen> ilovebrownies: now I need to go, I need to be somewhere at 7
[23:46] <tekteen> shit, I need to go
[23:46] <ilovebrownies> tekteen: ok, sorry for keeping you
[23:46] <Joker_-_> TV Output screen size too large to fit the actual screen... any help? any way to scale it?
