[00:03] <Daft_Punk> Mox`, sudo is to run a command or program as root, root runs everything as root
[00:03] <sebsebseb>  
[00:03] <Daft_Punk> !root
[00:03] <jrib> Mox`: sudo is also a lot more flexible
[00:03] <zerkoH> Im trying to get aircrack-ng working
[00:03] <Mox`> Daft_Punk I know, but why should I use sudo and not just a user which can access root?
[00:03] <zerkoH> But don't understand how to use it...
[00:03] <LjL> Mox`: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#Advantages and Disadvantages
[00:03] <coreyman1> Daft_Punk root logs you in to root
[00:03] <coreyman1> sudo gives root privlages
[00:04] <Daft_Punk> Mox`, because it is a major security risk and you can mess up the system, also, logging in as root changes your home directory file permissions
[00:04] <dieselsmoke> elitecoder: enable  your repositories, in synaptic, settings, repositories. under a server scenario edit /etc/apt/sources.list

[00:26] <Guest37658> Out_Cold: man grep
[00:26] <Out_Cold> ok but what if i want to start searching from / ?
[00:27] <Guest37658> Out_Cold: E.g.: grep -ir "text string" /path/file
[00:27] <Xunie> Simple question: When a user uses the wubi installer, Can he edit files in /etc/ while booted in windows? (if so, Where does wubi install root?)
[00:27] <Out_Cold> thanks
[00:27] <Guest37658> grep -ir "string" /
[00:27] <Guest37658> You might need to do sudo grep ... to ensure you have permissiosn to search.
[00:27] <Guest37658> permissions*
[00:28] <Guest37658> Xunie: I've never used Wubi, but if the drive is readable by Windows you should be able to edit it.
[00:29] <Xunie> Guest37658, Note: wubi install linux to ntfs (what a joke)
[00:30] <rww> Xunie: Wubi installs files in a loopback filesystem in c:\ubuntu (by default). If you download a program that can read ext3, it might be able to read the loopback file too.
[00:30]  * rww isn't a huge fan of Wubi either

[00:31] <RoastedTiresX> Is anybody familiar with Clonezilla Live running on Ubuntu?

[00:34] <funkeymunkey> RostedTiresX: just logon/logoff sound
[00:35] <RoastedTiresX> funkeymunkey - Do you have medibuntu repository installed?
[00:36] <funkeymunkey> RostedTiresX: i don't think so, can i find it in the add/remove software list?
[00:37] <RoastedTiresX> funkeymunkey - please don't take offense to this, because I ask this question with good intention of helping you: Are you relatively new to Ubuntu?
[00:38] <funkeymunkey> RoastedTiresX: very new, havn't worked with it much
[00:39] <chrisdone> I am on Intrepid. I have an onboard sound card which works. I plug in my USB headset which works. I want all programs to use the USB headset now that I have plugged it in. is there an option somewhere to make this happen that involves plain and simple changing settings in the preferences, and not installing random packages or editing config files?
[00:40] <RoastedTiresX> funkeymunkey - All right, that's all good. Let me explain something here while we're at it. The use of .mp3 file formats and other video/audio formats are licensed due to the blood sucking higher ups that need to make money off of everything they can. Windows has to pay royalty fees to having supported mp3 formats and other various video/audio codecs out of the box.
[00:40] <da0> RoastedTiresX: here here
[00:41] <funkeymunkey> RoastedTiresX: well, that's no fun=/
[00:41] <RoastedTiresX> funkeymunkey - Ubuntu on the other hand is different. Ubuntu comes prepackaged WITHOUT video/audio support so Ubuntu can be "legally" licensed as free and open source software in the United States. But the trick is, Ubuntu is an OS used globally. So everybody on the globe can download the same version of Ubuntu, with the exception of language changes, and then add the video/audio codecs on top of it.
[00:41] <RoastedTiresX> funkeymunkey - I'm going to help you via PM so I don't get banned for this again, since I routinely get banned from the Ubuntu channel here for ridiculous reasons.
[00:41] <da0> although it does support ogg out of the box

[00:59] <rww> hwilde: After a little detective work, it looks like kasteroids was removed by the KDE people during the KDE3 to KDE4 transition because it was unmaintained and thus not updated to deal with the new KDE4 stuff. The source code of the last release of it is at http://websvn.kde.org/tags/unmaintained/4/kasteroids/ . This was a decision by KDE, not Ubuntu.

[01:03] <ryanprior> ed1t: the mplayer collection has a codec that transcodes stills into ASCII art, you might look into that if you want something really flexable
[01:04] <ryanprior> ed1t: The greyscale codec is called aa, the color codec is called caca.
[01:04] <ed1t> thx
[01:04] <tmoney> can this room be used for wireshark support?
[01:04] <sebsebseb> !bluetooth
[01:05] <isteal> I have tried the bluetooth instructions...  they did not help
[01:05] <isteal> The device appears, but will not connect
[01:06] <tmoney> i just installed ubutnu ipex (or whatever the latest version is)  on my computer, and it seems that the defualt wireless driver installed works fine on my machine
[01:06] <tmoney> but i would like to install the driver specific
[01:06] <tmoney> to my usb wifi card
[01:06] <tmoney> does anyone know how i can uninstall the default driver?
[01:07] <ryanprior> tmoney: Why would you want to uninstall a working driver?
[01:07] <mib_x9ged5> i just installed 8.10 studio on to my laptop and it wont get past start up it keeps getting hung up on a blank white screen after the boot screen
[01:08] <ryanprior> mib_x9ged5: Do other versions of Ubuntu work?
[01:08] <ryanprior> mib_x9ged5: Or, does the Ubuntu Studio livecd work?
[01:08] <foul_ow1> Ok, I am now contacted AMD to see what resolutions are supported. Thanks for your help, i might be back in a few days! :)
[01:09] <mib_x9ged5> there is no live cd for studio
[01:09] <snowbourne> Hello, is this the appropriate place to ask for support on Ubuntu? (8.04 Hardy Heron Alternative CD.)
[01:09] <rww> snowbourne: yes
[01:09] <Raekwon> when i tried to boot into ubuntu live cd, i got intrmfs busy box
[01:09] <Raekwon> how do i fix the corrupt drives
[01:09] <Raekwon> ?
[01:10] <mib_x9ged5> good luck with the corrupt drives'
[01:10] <mib_x9ged5> my friend had that problem the other day
[01:10] <mezy> oh oh oh, can some vista games be played on ubuntu. if ubuntu can do this, than i'll totally switch
[01:11] <Raekwon> yes
[01:11] <Raekwon> on wine
[01:11] <Kraft> hey
[01:11] <rww> !wine > mezy
[01:11] <Chrisie> tmoney: you can blacklist in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist so another driver can take over the device
[01:11] <mezy> yay, the death of a long friendship
[01:11] <mezy> a rough one at most
[01:11] <snowbourne> I'm building a Home Theatre PC with Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron (For its support of the Boxee Media Center PC.) I'm running into a road block with video card drivers for the ATI Radeon 9100 IGP. The ATI proprietary drivers "FGLRX" stopped supporting the 9100 IGP video chipset a while back (Edgy Eft...) How can I install the "8.28.8" version of the FGLRX drivers, which were the last release to support my video card, within Ubuntu Hardy Heron
[01:11] <mib_x9ged5> vista games wouldn't have any clue what to do with all the extra resources
[01:12] <mezy> why is ubottu talking to me?
[01:12] <rww> mezy: because it was told to send you a factoid
[01:13] <mezy> ahh, sounds disgusting, but ok
[01:13] <niku> so I installed the ubuntu netbook remix a while back and disabled it after disliking the new home screen. After a reboot, however, I noticed that apps seem to start maximized and there are no title bars... does anyone know how to undo this? I'm assuming it's a preference set somewhere.
[01:13] <Darkchef> hey , i have a question, have any of you guys got the huawei E160G modem working??
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[01:14] <Anacranom> niku, is desktop effects enabled by chance?
[01:14] <Darkchef> yo
[01:14] <Darkchef> hey , i have a question, have any of you guys got the huawei E160G modem working??
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> Darkchef: what chip does lspci / lsusb say it is?
[01:15] <Darkchef> actionparsnip: im dont know, im not in linux at the moment
[01:16] <crim3_b0y> my ubuntu is free internet. I typed the command: modprobe-l | grep-i rt73.
[01:16] <crim3_b0y> / lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/kernel/drives/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt73USB.ko
[01:16] <crim3_b0y> sudo gedit / etc / modules
[01:16] <crim3_b0y> and add a new line at the end of the file:
[01:16] <crim3_b0y> rt73USB
[01:16] <FloodBot1> crim3_b0y: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:16] <crim3_b0y> save the file, and restart ubuntu
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> Darkchef: the chip is important, what is printed on the case is moot
[01:16] <bond`lappy> i
[01:16] <bond`lappy> i
[01:16] <bond`lappy> i
[01:16] <FloodBot1> bond`lappy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:16] <niku> Anacranom, no they're disabled
[01:16] <Darkchef> actionparsnip: what do you mean by moot?
[01:16] <rww> Darkchef: moot = not important
[01:16] <crim3_b0y> http://paste.ubuntu.com/126523/
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> Darkchef: moot == meaningless
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> Darkchef: run lspci and lsusb and you will get an output that identifys the device
[01:17] <Darkchef> actionparsnip:  right ok, so what steps should i take in order to get it to work ?
[01:17] <Darkchef> actionparsnip: i see
[01:17] <Pelo> evening folks
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> Darkchef: you can then use this information to websearch its config
[01:17] <Dreamglider> i need help to get xserver to start, i just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10. the laptop  is an inspiron 9400 with a ati x1400 gcard. it loads up but when the login screen usualy comes up the monitor shuts down
[01:18] <crim3_b0y> http://paste.ubuntu.com/126523/ who quem help me ??
[01:18] <cjae> anyone here use kaffeine? I need to know how to change the default skin/theme?
[01:18] <Pelo> lets say I want to install ubuntu on a freind's comp, but he does not have internet access. how do I go about providing him with repos ? is there a set of cd/dvd somewhere that contains the completes repos I can download and burn for him ?
[01:19] <poh> I have sshed into my ubuntu box and am attempting to start x11vnc, I get the message X Error of failed request:  BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) along with a major and a minor opcode of the bad request. any idea how I can start x11vnc from my ssh session to see my logged in session?
[01:19] <Pelo> cjae, try asking in #kubuntu
[01:20] <Darkchef>  actionparsnip: right i get it, so would using an older version of the distro still bring up the info i need?
[01:20] <cjae> Pelo: did and #kde and #kaffeine and #kde
[01:20] <Dr_willis> poh,  im not sure thats entirely doable.. gnome has its own 'share the current desktop' feature in 'vino' You can enable vino and make it always be enabled when you login to gnome.. OR you could create a 'new' gnome session that is basicially hidden, and only accessable via vnc.
[01:20] <ogre> hi. my firefox buttons (back,foward,stop) are greyed out. i uninstalled firefox. how do i get rid of all settings so i can fix?
[01:21] <cjae> Pelo: and searched both google (and linux) can only find the skins
[01:21] <Pelo> cjae, try looking around in the pref sub menu in kaffeine,  you can probably drag-drop your themefile in the ~/.kaffeine/ folder or some subfolder there of
[01:21] <redvamp128> Pelo:  you could try aptoncd APTonCD <http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/>
[01:21] <crdlb> Pelo: the complete repo is _way_ too big, but I think there's a DVD with more than the CD
[01:21] <ActionParsnip> ogre: try renaming ~/.mozilla
[01:22] <taz_> no camera found "error message" f
[01:22] <Pelo> crdlb, yeah I know about the dvd,  but that's just main and multiverse I beleive,  I was looking for the other mains repos as well , possilby
[01:22] <ActionParsnip> crim3_b0y: seems pretty concise, just use gksudo gedit instead of sudo gedit
[01:22] <taz_> my webcam logitech 5,000 pro
[01:22] <crdlb> Pelo: you mean restricted? I doubt it would include multiverse
[01:22] <RedLance> I have 2 PATA IDE hard drives from previous windows systems that the wife would like to be able to access from her shiny new laptop.  What distro should I use to setup a system to just share those NTFS drives?  Preferably booting from a 64MB compact flash card.
[01:22] <Pelo> redvamp128, apt on cd is nice but it would be problematic in this instance, but thanks for hte recommendation
[01:22] <taz_> how come it not work ?
[01:23] <ryanprior> !webcam | taz_
[01:23] <redvamp128> Pelo:  so far I have found these two sites Ubuntu -- Ubuntu Packages Search <http://packages.ubuntu.com/> and Medibuntu -- Medibuntu packages <http://packages.medibuntu.org/>
[01:23] <Pelo> crdlb, probably, it's been a while , I'm probably comfused a bit but you get what I mean
[01:23] <taz_> ok
[01:23] <poh> Dr_willis: I'm actually using xmonad :(, and I know that I can make it always on there too, I just haven't.
[01:23] <Pelo> redvamp128, I'll check those out
[01:24] <crim3_b0y> ActionParsnip have solution ?
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> crim3_b0y: follow what you pastebinned if that is known to work
[01:24] <redvamp128> Pelo:  that is not just a search but where you can download the deb- though pay attention to the dependencies -- you may want to grab them while you are there--
[01:24] <Dr_willis> poh,  neer heard of that one. :) i tend to ssh in, run vnc4server, or some other vncserver, then run a vncclient. I dont normally share the 'current' desktop.. because well.. I ssh into my headless servers. and use vnc  that way
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis: just use pure ssh, be a man :D
[01:25] <Pelo> redvamp128, that's my concern, since this is for a freind,  I'm not sure what he might want hence me looking for some "repos-on-cd/dvd" solution
[01:25] <Dr_willis> ActionParsnip,  or i use xdmcp and xming :)
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis: gui is for big girl pants :D:D:D
[01:27] <dreamy> ActionParsnip: do you know if the httpd opens automaticly the 80 port in linux?
[01:27] <dreamy> in ubuntu i mean
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> dreamy: it will as long as /etc/httpd.conf says so
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis: j/k man, love you really
[01:28] <dreamy> after netstat reports has listening .. will mean is open
[01:28] <Dr_willis> ActionParsnip,  :) dont make  my wife jelous
[01:28] <dreamy> ?
[01:29]  * Pelo sees what happens when he stays away for 12 months,  he gets replaced by another smart-mouth
[01:30] <dreamy> ActionParsnip:  when netstat mentions about a port has "listening" does that means its open in the firewall ?
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> dreamy: a services can be listening but the firewall could block the incoming connection
[01:30] <opera> !find
[01:30] <dreamy> k :S
[01:31] <dreamy> ActionParsnip: is there any conf file for the firewall ?
[01:31] <Pelo> opera, what are you looking for ?
[01:31] <opera> i can't how to use "find' command. can you give me a example?
[01:32] <_VIM_> this isn't a warez channel
[01:32] <Pelo> opera, there is not find command in this channel
[01:32] <Pelo> opera, you can try !keyword
[01:32] <quentin> what's the proper channel to discuss about jaunty bugs?
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> dreamy: depends what firewall you use
[01:33] <Darkchef1> actionparsnip: it says its the huawei e220 hsdpa modem
[01:33] <Pelo> quentin, #ubuntu+1
[01:33] <dreamy> ActionParsnip: lol.. no idea..
[01:33] <Darkchef1> actionparsnip: what now?
[01:33] <ActionParsnip> opera: find / -name *.png    will show all png files on the system
[01:33] <opera> The find command is quite helpful and can be used for many purposes, such as
[01:33] <opera> before or during backup operations.
[01:33] <Dr_willis>  locate .png  -> may be faster/better :) if your database is up to date
[01:33] <quentin> Pelo: thank you
[01:34] <Pelo> dreamy, the default firewall in ubuntu is netfilter,  it is controled by the userspace app iptable,  type man iptable for instructions
[01:34] <ActionParsnip> Darkchef1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=262867
[01:34] <Pelo> dreamy, make that iptables
[01:34] <dreamy> Pelo: iptable .. that command on the terminal willl give me power to open ports?
[01:34] <ActionParsnip> opera: you can use find in conjunction with exec to make a command fire on nthe file
[01:34] <ActionParsnip> opera: e.g
[01:35] <Pelo> dreamy, yes it will , man iptables for the options and how to use it
[01:35] <RedLance> I have 2 PATA IDE hard drives from previous windows systems that the wife would like to be able to access from her shiny new laptop.  What distro should I use to setup a system to just share those NTFS drives?  Preferably booting from a 64MB compact flash card.
[01:35] <dreamy> Pelo: k. thaks..
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> opera: mkdir ~/pics; find / -name "*.png" -exec cp {} ~/pics \;
[01:35] <Pelo> dreamy, by default it's not activated I beleive but I'm not all that knowledgable about it
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> opera: will find every png and copy it to ~/pics
[01:36] <dreamy> Pelo: okey.. cool
[01:36] <opera> thank you ,ACT_
[01:36] <Pelo> RedLance, 64mb ?  damn small linux I guess but not sure about ntfs support in there
[01:37] <dreamy> Pelo: but its possible that apache opened my port atomaticly rigth?
[01:37] <RedLance> Pelo: Yeah, I thought FreeNAS would be perfect, till I saw no NTFS support
[01:37] <Pelo> dreamy, you should ask that in #apache
[01:37] <dreamy> okey
[01:37] <Pelo> RedLance, might want to inquire in #dsl
[01:38] <RedLance> Pelo: Thanks
[01:38] <Pelo> dreamy, as far as I know ,  you should not have to open any port in a default config of ubuntu,  nothing is blocked by default
[01:38] <ActionParsnip> opera: make some test files and play, find and exec will give you massive power
[01:39] <dreamy> Pelo: okey
[01:40] <crim3_b0y[out]> http://paste.ubuntu.com/126523/ who quem help me ??
[01:41] <dreamy> Pelo: then what about the result of a portscan at the local host.. its shows almost nothing
[01:41] <Darkchef1> oh my god why is the e220 so difficult to set up, i thought 3g ran out of the box for the new version !
[01:42] <Pelo> dreamy, hidden and blocked are two different things , but again,  not realy a firewall / port guru
[01:42] <dreamy> ok pelo
[01:42] <Pelo> dreamy, #networking might have some info for you as well
[01:42] <dreamy> nice channel .. thanks
[01:42] <dreamy> hiden.. insterresting..
[01:43] <DarkKnight> hey can anyone tell how i can schedule my system to shut down after some amount of time
[01:43] <DarkKnight> hey can anyone tell how i can schedule my system to shut down after some amount of time without manual shutdown
[01:43] <Flare183> DarkKnight: Use Cron
[01:44] <ActionParsnip> crim3_b0y[out]: what more do you need, those are exectly what you need to do step by step
[01:44] <Pelo> dreamy, hidden might not be the correct term, stelth mode possibly
[01:44] <dreamy> Pelo: cool
[01:44] <jrib> DarkKnight: the shutdown command can do that, see its man page
[01:44] <ActionParsnip> crim3_b0y[out]: how can we elaborate on that?
[01:45] <dreamy> Pelo: iptable will work with steathy ports  too etc etc ?
[01:45] <Pelo> DarkKnight,  sudo shutdown +m  ( where m is the number of minutes )
[01:45] <Pelo> dreamy, shoud
[01:45] <dsmith_> errno 5 I/O error, means what?
[01:46] <helix7> hi guys, i'm trying to upgrade Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10, I have Dialup. So i got a friend to download the iso Ubuntu-8.10-alternate-amd64.iso for me, I have it here on the desktop, so then i run "sudo mount -o loop /home/clem/Desktop/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-amd64.iso /media/cdrom0" and then gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" to start the upgrade process the Distribution Upgrade dialog comes up, and it askes me if i want to download the latest updates a
[01:46] <dreamy> Pelo: will it at the final leave some configuration in some file or something ?
[01:46] <ActionParsnip> crim3_b0y[out]: what is the output of: file lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/kernel/drives/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt73USB.ko
[01:46] <crim3_b0y[out]> ActionParsnip sorry, resolved..tnx xD
[01:46] <helix7> nd install them i choose no becuase i want to update everything from the cd, so everything goes and then it tells me its going to take 2 more days just to fetch the other files ? and it is using the network connection ? any way to make it update only from the cd ? or is it updateing packages that i've installed that are not included on the cd ?
[01:46] <Pelo> dsmith_, what were you doing when you got that msg ?
[01:46] <crim3_b0y[out]> ActionParsnip sorry, resolved..tnx xD
[01:46] <dsmith_> Pelo: installation
[01:46] <dsmith_> helix7: backup your stuff
[01:46] <ActionParsnip> crim3_b0y[out]: what you have there is the exact steps to take so why were you asking is my question
[01:47] <DarkKnight> Pelo; i just looked at the man pages and it says that the time is in hh:mm format....
[01:47] <helix7> like what stuff all my media and anything "important" is on other drive.
[01:47] <Pelo> dreamy, probably but I don't know where , try the iptables manpage might be some info in there
[01:47] <dreamy> okey..
[01:47] <dsmith_> ok helix7, just making sure
[01:48] <Pelo> DarkKnight, read up two lines for that hh:mm in the manpage
[01:48] <helix7> :) np
[01:48] <Pelo> dsmith_, if you get as far as the cd menu,  run the cd integrity check,  if not , try the cd in another comp
[01:48] <stewart__> if i have installed php and postfix via apt-get would php automactily use post fix to send mail or do i have to set up config to do that?
[01:48] <DarkKnight> Pelo; ohhh yes yes..thank you..... so there's no need of specifying any option??
[01:48] <dsmith_> Pelo: hmmmmmmmmm, ok.... seemed ok..
[01:48] <mezy> hmm, what is the scope of ubuntu's abilities involving vista games?
[01:49] <helix7> it seems odd that it wants to use the network when i told it not to.
[01:49] <Pelo> DarkKnight,  not that I can tell,  try it with a couple of minutes to see if it works
[01:49] <Pelo> dsmith_, anyting out off the ordinary about the computer you want to install on ?
[01:49] <dsmith_> hp dv4000
[01:49] <dsmith_> nothign strange
[01:50] <Pelo> dsmith_, is this a live cd, can you get to the desktop ?
[01:51] <Wofl_> hey, anyone here know of a good laptop, 15 or so inch screen that is not too expencive and runs well with ubuntu?
[01:51] <danhs> Why doesn't ubuntu have a good third party installer like windows or mac?
[01:51] <helix7> dsmith_, any ideas ?
[01:51] <cdm10> danhs: what do you mean by a third party installer?
[01:51] <helix7> like what you mean ?
[01:51] <danhs> It frustrates me so....it seems like the *only* major shortfall at this point
[01:51] <dotblank> You could go with a system76 laptop
[01:51] <dsmith_> yes live cd
[01:51] <dsmith_> desktop yes
[01:51] <cdm10> danhs: I'm not sure what you mean by a third-party installer...
[01:51] <danhs> cdm10: I mean, that I should be able to download random third party software that is for sale (costs money) double click on the application and run it/install it
[01:51] <opera> act_ : can you tell me what means:---# find / -type f -perm +6000 -exec ls -l {} \'
[01:51] <dsmith_> i'm trying another disk
[01:51] <Pelo> dsmith_, you might also want to give the alternate isntall cd a try, it has a text based installer, no desktop, it is often less hiffy about system conf and installs more smothly
[01:52] <danhs> cdm10: the notion of having *everything* in a repository is anathema to a desktop operating system
[01:52] <cdm10> danhs: lots of apps work that way... try Skype, for example.
[01:52] <atticstorm> Is anyone having issue with Add/Remove in 8.04.  I can not see any files to install or installed any longer.
[01:52] <zenlunatic> danhs, dpkg -i
[01:52] <dsmith_> ok pelo
[01:52] <cdm10> danhs: you can click "download for Ubuntu", download the file, and literalyl double-click it.
[01:52] <cdm10> danhs: it's just up to the software companies to actually use DEB packages.
[01:52] <Pelo> danhs, package manager not good enough for you ?
[01:52] <danhs> Pelo: not if I can't get random third party software
[01:53] <cdm10> danhs: you CAN, if they supply it for Ubuntu
[01:53] <helix7> dsmith_, I have a working installation of ubuntu 8.04 right now, i've downloaded the Ubuntu-8.10-alternate-amd64.iso as per reccomended on ubuntu upgrade webpage.
[01:53] <cdm10> danhs: no one's stopping companies from using DEB packages or writing their own installers
[01:53] <danhs> cdm10: even open source softwrae that doesn't have a debian or ubuntu package manager *rarely* will upload .deb package
[01:53] <Pelo> danhs, .deb or .bin files, usualy work well enough , other then that , just learn to compile manualy, it' s not aht compilcated
[01:53] <cdm10> danhs: ...then it's their problem.
[01:53] <Pelo> 6 min to lost,  I'm off ppl , have a good evening
[01:53] <danhs> cdm10: but that's a little unfair to the companies too.  there's rpm, .deb and there's no binary guarantee that a compiled .deb or rpm will work on more than a single machine!
[01:54] <cdm10> danhs: what do you mean? if the system's running Ubuntu, and they supply a DEB package that works on Ubuntu, it'll work on Ubuntu...
[01:54] <danhs> cdm10: you're right they *could* build .deb files but those files may not work on debian if they work on ubuntu, or mepis, or insert other distribution here
[01:55] <helix7> dsmith_, it flies through the first 780 some files really fast like its reading off the mounted cd. but then halts like its trying to download the rest of them off the web
[01:55] <talley_> hey guys, can you help me out with this? I just installed ubuntu, and I'm new at this client
[01:55] <talley_> If I want to join another server, how do I do it?
[01:55] <dreamy> can i installl "service" the commmand.. with apt?
[01:55] <cdm10> danhs: so they can supply Ubuntu-specific ones. Ubuntu and Fedora, for example, may both be Linux, but they're both different operating systems.
[01:55] <danhs> cdm10: I suppose so.  But one .deb that worked for ubuntu 8.04 might not work for 8.10
[01:56] <danhs> cdm10: my big complaint is that until linux gets this right, we won't ever get applications like dreamweaver or other popular applications
[01:56] <danhs> and it makes it very difficult for for-profit developers to write linux applications
[01:57] <danhs> cdm10: and I *have* downloaded and compiled applications.  it's a suck process.  I need to use checkinstall and then make icons in the gnome menu myself
[01:57] <helix7> ?
[01:57] <opera> !mount
[01:57] <r1ckynutz> :)
[01:57] <cdm10> danhs: I suppose some aspects of what you're saying are true. I'm not sure how it could be fixed, though.
[01:57] <UncleD> what umask is equivalent to chmod o+w ???
[01:58] <talley_> hey guys, could you help me out with this this? what do I do if I want to join another server?

[01:58] <lstarnes> talley_: which client do you use?
[01:58] <danhs> cdm10: I don't know either.  It seems like klik and autopackage are the best options.  But the people with power to change this (people leading ubuntu) don't care to support and evangelize those solutions
[01:58] <talley_> I use xchat-gnome
[01:59] <lstarnes> talley_: try using /newserver server.name
[01:59] <elninja> Anyone ever seen any text editor that does syntax highlighting for IRC logs?
[01:59] <snowveil> I'm trying to run an executable (freeware game, Cave Story), and when I run it by clicking on it in Nautilus it works fine, but trying to run it from terminal or from an application launcher, it opens then immediately closes
[01:59] <talley_> thanks
[01:59] <snowveil> running from terminal yields no error messages unfortunately
[01:59] <cdm10> snowveil: it might have to do with the directory it's launched from.
[02:00] <snowveil> it's currently located in ~/.doukutsu/
[02:00] <r1ckynutz> ex cat
[02:00] <cdm10> snowveil: I'm not sure, but it's possible that when double-clicking on an executable, Nautilus launches it within the folder it's in.
[02:00] <snowveil> but it's symlinked to usr/share/doukutsu I believe
[02:00] <iJ> Hey guys, anyone on a low-spec laptop with ubuntu? what browser you using?
[02:00] <_VIM_> elninja: vim can do syntax highlighting, dont see why it wouldnt work for irc logs
[02:01] <badfish69> /track
[02:01] <iJ> Can somebody private chat me, i want to ask a question about ubuntu netbook remix...
[02:01] <snowveil> cdm, "ls -l" ~/.doukutsu/doukutsu" yields this:
[02:01] <snowveil> lrwxrwxrwx 1 mike mike   28 2008-10-29 21:15 doukutsu -> /usr/share/doukutsu/doukutsu
[02:02] <snowveil> is that a symlink?
[02:02] <lstarnes> snowveil: looks like it
[02:02] <snowveil> because running either ~/.doukutsu/doukutsu in terminal window OR /usr/share/doukutsu/doukutsu results in the same problem...however clicking through Nautilus from the ~/.doukutsu folder doesn't have that problem...I'm stumped
[02:03] <helix7> bah
[02:04] <boo_> Could someone please help me? I'm not very used to Ubuntu yet and I have a ... pretty simple question (I think). It's about aMSN and SCIM
[02:06] <tim__> hey
[02:06] <tim__> does anyone know what ofonly video mode actually ist
[02:06] <atticstorm> Is there a known issue with Add/Remove function in 8.04?  When I open and update there no packages are there to install, nor can I see the installed packages.  Things are fine in Synaptic and with apt-get.  Also, I am running the server kernel.
[02:08] <cjae> #mplayer
[02:09] <heatmzzr> how do you change the color of the text in the console???
[02:09] <cjae> join #mplayer
[02:09] <snowveil> heatmzzr , file - new profile...
[02:09] <snowveil> edit your profile or create a new one
[02:10] <snowveil> then edit - profiles
[02:10] <dieselsmoke> heatmzzr: edit default profile from the menu bar
[02:10] <heatmzzr> no, i mean in the crtl-alt-f1 screen
[02:12] <krabador> how can i set the screen resolution from command line_
[02:12] <krabador> the gnome resolution
[02:13] <thiebaude> krabador: i tried this, xrandr -s 800x600 -r 85
[02:15] <opera> what is the difference 'su' and ' sudo'?
[02:15] <thiebaude> krabador: did it work?
[02:15] <krabador> thiebaude: i must try
[02:15] <lstarnes> opera: su uses the root password and is less flexible.  sudo is more flexible and uses a regular user's password
[02:15] <heatmzzr> can anyone tell me how to change the color of text in the cntl-alt-f1 type enviroment>?>>
[02:15] <thiebaude> krabador: i think it is temporary
[02:16] <krabador> thiebaude: i changed the screen resolution from gnome, but my monitor don't support the new
[02:16] <xgenesis> moo.
[02:17] <thiebaude> krabador: is your graphics card driver installed?
[02:17] <krabador> thiebaude: every time i start gnome , i've the same trouble
[02:17] <krabador> thiebaude
[02:17] <krabador> i think...
[02:17] <opera> LSTARNES,sorry ,i can't know what is your means.
[02:17] <xgenesis> A friend of mine told me this guide for WG111 with ubuntu was very outdated ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/NetgearWG111 ), does anyone know if it'd still work or if there are other alternitaves to utilizing my WG 111 adapter with my ubuntu desktop machine?
[02:17] <krabador> thiebaude: i've an ati with vesa dirvers
[02:18] <krabador> thiebaude: can i control this in some way?
[02:18] <TwistedGhost> http://pastebin.com/m62a64bf
[02:18] <lstarnes> opera: su is used for logging in as a different user and uses that user's password.  sudo uses the password of the user who runs it
[02:18] <TwistedGhost> what do you think of my set up?
[02:18] <n8tuserf> opera  a rubber band is very flexible,  a piece of wood is not flexible :P
[02:18] <lstarnes> opera: in most cases, sudo is better
[02:18] <TwistedGhost> would it work ok for linux
[02:18] <opera> lsta_:  regular user's password?
[02:19] <lstarnes> opera: the password of the user who runs it
[02:19] <yubuntu> how do you kill a process with your mouse
[02:19] <lstarnes> opera: instead of root's password
[02:19] <yubuntu> make it into an X
[02:20] <_VIM_> yubuntu: type xkill on a terminal
[02:20] <yubuntu> thanks
[02:20] <_VIM_> np
[02:20] <MightyTweek> xgenesis: I presume you've tried plugging it in and verified that support is not built in?
[02:20] <TwistedGhost> or go into the system monitor
[02:20] <TwistedGhost> right?
[02:21] <Psuedo> G'Day
[02:21] <Psuedo> What is the name of the package the tells you recommendations of non-installed packages when you type there name into terminal?
[02:22] <xgenesis> MightyTweek: indeed
[02:22] <xgenesis> unfortunaitly
[02:22] <xgenesis> heh
[02:22] <crdlb> Psuedo: command-not-found
[02:23] <Psuedo> crdlb: Thanks, exactly what I was looking for.
[02:23] <HoNgOuRu> how do I let normal users use "poff dsl-provider" ?????????
[02:23] <HoNgOuRu> without typing "sudo" first?
[02:23] <tony_> anyone dealed with checkpoint before? need help setting up the client
[02:23] <Psuedo> What is the name of the package that gives the Mouse support for scrolling?
[02:23] <MightyTweek> xgenesis: My recommendation: buy something that Ubuntu supports natively. Ndiswrapper is a pain to configure. If you really want to try getting it working, I think https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper is pretty up to date
[02:24] <tony_> HoNgOuRu: put them in a seperate group with higher permissions
[02:24] <xgenesis> yeah
[02:24] <HoNgOuRu> like root?
[02:24] <xgenesis> i'm thinking about looking for something that just supports ubuntu to save myself the trouble
[02:24] <xgenesis> MightyTweek: any recommendations?
[02:24] <tony_> no HoNgOuRu, dont put them into the root group, how is your knowledge on the passwd file
[02:24] <tony_> ?
[02:25] <HoNgOuRu> I'm the only user of the pc
[02:25] <n8tuserf> HoNgOuRu -> how many people you trust to trash your connectivity with that abilities?
[02:25] <HoNgOuRu> but I want to use a script, for reconnecting
[02:25] <sileni> hey guys i just bought the hp mini... it comes preloaded with windows xp. I want to install linux especially ubuntu does anyone know 10 gb is enough for ubuntu?
[02:26] <sileni> i want to dual boot because that would help at univ alot :-\
[02:26] <HoNgOuRu> ok, so the issue is in the passwd file? do I have to add the user to which group?
[02:26] <utabak> hi all, I have a csh script which calls some executables which are ELF 32-bit LSB executable, while I have an 64 bit system, then I get an error message command not found from these executables, is there a way to fix this?
[02:26] <Awsoonn> I am trying to use the Hardware drivers dialog to install the drivers for my BC4318 wireless card but when I click 'activate' it tells me it is downloading and sits at 0% forever. Help?
[02:26] <MightyTweek> xgenesis: Easiest thing to do is to look at what's available near you and do some digging on the Ubuntu wiki... pretty much anything with the Atheros chipset should be well supported
[02:27] <xgenesis> not very knowledgable with chipsets, but i will indeed take a look. Thanks, MightyTweek :)
[02:27] <tweak66> bit of an issue here... updated today and now no internet. LAN is connexcted.. i had to boot to windows to get here.. .:(
[02:28] <Lumberg> hey all. can someone point me to a lost of OIDs for Ubuntu - are they the same as Debian? The OIDs I'm using for cpu/load/swap/ram checks on RHEL aren't working on Ubunut...
[02:28] <Lumberg> lost/list
[02:29] <opbaldy> can anyone recommend a voice chat app?
[02:29] <tweak66> if i was in linux i could check... lol
[02:30] <amr_> opbaldy, skype works.
[02:30]  * Lumberg smacks tweak66 for not being on linux 
[02:30] <tweak66> lumberg!
[02:30] <Lumberg> yeah skype is good
[02:30] <tweak66> bit of an issue here... updated today and now no internet. LAN is connexcted.. i had to boot to windows to get here.. .:(
[02:30] <Lumberg> that sucks
[02:30] <opbaldy> thanks
[02:30] <tweak66> i know! i hate winkife
[02:30] <Lumberg> and I guess you did the same old ifconfig and route troubleshooting?
[02:31] <Lumberg> wondering why an update would kill your connection
[02:31] <tweak66> checked my connection... that's about it
[02:31] <tweak66> i dunno i updated, then rebooted, and afterwards couldn't even login to my router
[02:31] <cjae> horizontal tearing via tv out nvidia very annoying
[02:32] <tweak66> but i load winsickness and internet works..
[02:32] <Lumberg> sounds like a drive issue
[02:32] <tweak66> which drive?
[02:32] <Lumberg> driver not drive
[02:32] <tweak66> HD?
[02:32] <tweak66> o
[02:32] <Lumberg> would recommend you check /var/log/messages or dmesg next time you boot it up
[02:32] <tweak66> i tried booting up with previous kernels too..
[02:33] <Lumberg> is it setup for dhcp or static?
[02:33] <tweak66> dhcp
[02:33] <Huufarted> Anybody here work with Samba much?  I just added and set up a new account that can access his home directory, but I can't set up my login (the original) to access his samba share.
[02:33] <Lumberg> and it was getting an address from the router or not?
[02:33]  * Lumberg hates samba. promtly forgot as much as possible when I got rid of windows.
[02:34] <tweak66> yes it got an addy.. but i could not log into my router, nor access the internet
[02:34] <_VIM_> same here Lumberg
[02:34] <Huufarted> Lumberg, unfortunately I don't have that luxury.
[02:34] <Lumberg> do you by chance have vmware running on that box?
[02:34] <Huufarted> Lumberg, me?
[02:34] <Lumberg> no, tweak66
[02:34] <Huufarted> k
[02:34] <tweak66> i have it installed, but nothing in it
[02:35] <tweak66> wait i was thinking vbox
[02:35] <Lumberg> ok. try this. same thing happened to me the other day and it took like 30 minutes of frustration to figure it out
[02:35] <tweak66> xmware?
[02:35] <Lumberg> shell> sudo /etc/init.d/vmware stop
[02:35] <tweak66> vm*

[02:35] <_VIM_> woah
[02:35] <Huufarted> !ops | thegamez
[02:36] <Lumberg> interesting choice of words for a flood
[02:36] <tweak66> anyway
[02:36] <Lumberg> yeah, so I did the same thing. ran an update. rebooted... then vmare hogged my routing somehow. I had a dhcp address and could just not login to my router or get interet
[02:36] <UlaUlaUla> hello all. how can I check on what version am I? gutsy, Hardy or intrepid? I don't really remember which version I installed and it's all updated...
[02:36] <Lumberg> so now everytime I start the box I have to stop vmware first
[02:36] <Lumberg> makes me crazy
[02:36] <tweak66> ah oic so what do i do?
[02:36] <_VIM_> !version
[02:36] <Huufarted> Question for the active folks in here.  Was that an inappropriate !ops moment?
[02:37] <UlaUlaUla> thx
[02:37] <_VIM_> Huufarted: i would have waited a couple minutes, to see if an op was alive
[02:37] <LjL> Huufarted: no, it was ok to call ops, although it was also useless because i got highlighted anyway - but you couldn't have known that
[02:37] <Huufarted> gotcha, LjL.  That kinda crap just p***es me off.
[02:37] <tweak66> what's cmware?
[02:37] <UlaUlaUla> ubottu: I'm running hardy.
[02:37]  * Lumberg considers
[02:38] <nilson> My new favorite software: KeePass
[02:38] <tweak66> vmware
[02:38] <Huufarted> lol I laugh every time someone tries talking to ubottu
[02:38] <UlaUlaUla> how can I install kde 4.2 on hardy? using this: "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/project-neon/ubuntu hardy main" is not enough to find kde-nightly
[02:39] <tweak66> lumberg, what's vmware
[02:39] <Huufarted> tweak66, vmware is the same as virtualbox for all intents and purposes.  It allows you to run a 'sandboxed' operating system while still being booted into the first one
[02:39] <tvoet_> anyone tried a logitech trackman mouse on ubunty Hardy or Ibex?
[02:39] <cooldduuudde> UlaUlaUla: kde 4.1 is the latest stable release. you'll automatically get updated wen KDE 4.2 becomes stable
[02:40] <UlaUlaUla> and if I want to test the 4.2?
[02:40] <wolter> is there a way i can print from my canon ip1800 ?
[02:40] <_VIM_> !latest | UlaUlaUla
[02:40] <tvoet_> i've been looking for info on the web, and nobody seems to have tried it
[02:40] <UlaUlaUla> !backports
[02:40] <Lumberg> tweak66, what is vmware?
[02:40] <Lumberg> http://vmware.com
[02:41] <UlaUlaUla> thanks. I'll look that
[02:41] <opothehippo> hello!
[02:41] <Huufarted> tvoet_, Logitech Mice will work just as any standard mouse will.  It doesn't know that it's a trackman or a mouse.  It just sees an HID compliant device
[02:41] <Huufarted> !hi | opothehippo
[02:41] <tweak66> well can't stand windows, be back if i figure out my problem lol
[02:41] <voglster> iwl3945 driver is causeing kernel panics i believe... plus random disconnects and microcode errors in dmesg... can anyone point me in a direction to fix this?
[02:42] <tvoet_> Huufarted, what about programming the additional buttons.  the one i am looking at getting is Logitech Marble 4 button, (ambidextrous mouse)
[02:42] <Huufarted> tvoet_, gotcha.  My suggestion is to ask on the Logitech forums for that.
[02:42] <Huufarted> tvoet_, google will get you those forums
[02:43] <UlaUlaUla> ubottu: kde4 is already the newest version.
[02:43] <Squideshi> I'm trying to build the newest Intel driver for xorg; and it requires libdrm 2.4.5 or greater. I can't find any such package in Synaptic Package Manager. What can I do?
[02:43] <tvoet_> Huufarted, thanks.  i wanted to ask here, because Logitech has the official "we support windows/mac only" broadcasted all over there info pages for this mouse
[02:43] <mezy> hmm
[02:44] <Huufarted> tvoet_, you are correct, but their forums will have people that use Linux and you will probably find some answers.
[02:44] <tvoet_> thanks
[02:44] <Huufarted> tvoet_, but you may have to be patient.  Also ask on http://ubuntuforums.com
[02:44] <xo230342k2> [AmsG'D] If anybody can host an IRCd for me, please PM me
[02:45] <_VIM_> !ot | xo230342k2
[02:45] <mezy> the volume control on ubuntu is kinda weird
[02:45] <xo230342k2> oh sry VTM
[02:45] <mezy> its not the sensitive
[02:45] <mezy> that*
[02:45] <tvoet_> Huufarted, patience is not something new when outside "the main".  i just wanted to know the support status before i shell out for one of them.
[02:45] <tvoet_> i'm a pure linux user at home and office
[02:45] <mezy> and not that load with the speaks
[02:46] <Huufarted> gotcha, tvoet_.  Good luck to you.
[02:46] <Huufarted> tvoet_, I hope you find your answer.
[02:46] <tvoet_> Huufarted, thanks for the info.
[02:46] <tvoet_> will do
[02:46] <UlaUlaUla> apt-cache search kde-nightly returns nothing
[02:46] <Lumberg> so... anyone know where I can get a list of OIDs for ubuntu?
[02:46] <Lumberg> need to write some snmp strings
[02:46] <Huufarted> Anybody able to help me debug a samba share?  I set up both myself and a second user.  The second user can log into his samba share just fine, mine refuses to let me into it.  They both have ubuntu accounts set up in the OS

[03:00] <dieselsmoke> niceguy1309: use synaptic, fix broken. those packages are likely obsoleted.
[03:00] <songjian> i had trouble, it's said "undefined reference to `__stderrp'" when I build program
[03:00] <cdm10> GeneralGustav: if you're running 8.10, go to System>Administration>Create a USB Startup Disk
[03:00] <GeneralGustav> sileni, Might want to look a crunchbang linux. But there's quite a few. Do a google on ubuntu distributions and it should come up with a nice wikipedia page
[03:00] <coreyman1> cdm10 i want to turn those fans off on suspend.. i think case fans could passivley cool them
[03:00] <tweak66> no luck lumberg
[03:00] <niceguy1309> dieselsmoke: thx i will try that now
[03:00] <tony_> sebsebseb: hi can you help me out? reallyt struffling to get it working
[03:01] <_jonesy_> question about an Ubuntu Desktop and Gigabit ethernet. I am trying to copy a 6GB file from my Ubuntu server to my Macbook Pro over a Gigabit network. Does anyone know why after 20 seconds of transfer, transfer speeds drop from 60 to 80MB/sec down to 4MB/sec?
[03:01] <D3RGPS31> I just updated my kernel to 2.6.28.7, from ubuntu 8.10s current, and my boot screen is blank, the screen switches when X starts, but still stays blank
[03:01] <hmw> coreyman1: i would assume, the RAM of the graphics card will still be active.
[03:01] <tweak66> i just did an update and now have no internet access
[03:01] <GeneralGustav> cdm10, What program does that start? Im using an ubuntu BASED distro.
[03:01] <cdm10> coreyman1: your fans keep running? Sounds like the way your BIOS is programmed... I don't think there's much you can do about that.
[03:01] <tonyyarusso> GeneralGustav: I think it's just called usb-creator.
[03:02] <rrplay> heatmzzr_: still looking for rhythmboxx eq ?
[03:02] <cdm10> GeneralGustav: it only works on Ubuntu ISOs, though...
[03:02] <coreyman1> cdm10, i have a fan controller, must making sure its safe to turn them off
[03:02] <_jonesy_> anyone know why the gigabit transfer speeds die after 10-20 seconds?
[03:02] <cdm10> GeneralGustav: (afaik)
[03:02] <krabador> hey people, ive an hard problem, i changed the resolution in gnome, but i cant see anything, every time i reboot i reload this new resolution...
[03:02] <cdm10> coreyman1: oh, yes, it should be safe.
[03:02] <krabador> how can i change it from recovery console_
[03:02] <cdm10> coreyman1: but I'm kinda suspicious that your fan controller is still getting power when the system's in standby...
[03:02] <tweak66> i just did an update and now have no internet access.. help someone :)
[03:02] <_jonesy_> I've tried this over SSH, netatalk (AFP) and SMB all with the same issue
[03:03] <GeneralGustav> cdm10, Ahhhh well im not trying it with an ubuntu distro lol. I could just use unetbootin if I was doing that.
[03:03] <rrplay> heatmzzr_:  look here https://launchpad.net/rhythmboxeqplugin
[03:03] <coreyman1> cdm10 everything had power in windows haven't tried it in ubuntu
[03:03] <cdm10> GeneralGustav: not entirely sure how to help, then :-/ sounds like you need some kinda ISO loader to install on the drive.
[03:03] <coreyman1> if i get a timeout on all server ports does that mean no server present, or port blocked
[03:03] <cdm10> coreyman1: weird. Check your BIOS, it may be using S1 instead of S3 sleep modes or something.
[03:03] <krabador> please help me
[03:04] <GeneralGustav> cdm10, I could do it by hand (And im part way already) But it doesnt want to copy some of the files acrross so I wanted to see if there was an easier way lol
[03:04] <cdm10> krabador: have you tried the Xorg recovery in the recovery menu?
[03:04] <arooni_____> wheneer i play flash video on latest firefox in ubuntu ibex;  it often skips and such.  is there something i can do?  i wouldnt think it would skip if i have a core 2 duo 4MB cache (2.2Ghz) and 3GB of ram.
[03:04] <cdm10> GeneralGustav: yeah :-/ if anyone knows, I'm curious, too.
[03:04] <dieselsmoke> coreyman1: none present, or you would get connection refused, most lilely.
[03:04] <krabador> cdm10: not
[03:04] <cdm10> krabador: that may help.
[03:04] <n2diy> I'm helping my friend install Ubuntu on his XP box, and it stalls at page 6, the migrate data page? Our only option is to cancel, and abort the install. Reboot, select Ubuntu, and ditto?
[03:04] <_jonesy_> anyfuckingone?
[03:05] <coreyman1> ok dieselsmoke, j/w cause im behind nat.

[03:05] <Cpudan80> Hey guys
[03:05] <D3RGPS31> I just updated my kernel to 2.6.28.7, from ubuntu 8.10s current, and my boot screen is blank, the screen switches when X starts, but still stays blank >.>
[03:05] <Cpudan80> I got trouble with pidgin and empathy and 8.10 -- neither connect or anything
[03:05] <_jonesy_> bad language will get me noticed but not my question, awesome
[03:05] <Cpudan80> They both just segfault on start
[03:05] <GeneralGustav> Is there any way to force cp to copy all files? I've tried -a but it still gives me errors.
[03:05] <Huufarted> _jonesy_, sometimes that's the case, but it's not the attention you want.
[03:05] <cdm10> _jonesy_: yep. That's the way it is, deal with it.
[03:05] <cdm10> GeneralGustav: do you have permissions to access those files?
[03:06] <dieselsmoke> coreyman1: if you're attempting to access a LAN box from the WAN side you need to port-forward via the router.
[03:06] <GeneralGustav> cdm10, I used sudo.
[03:06] <rrplay> n2diy:  are trying to migrate any data ??
[03:06] <cdm10> D3RGPS31: try the X.org recovery mode in the recovery console.
[03:06] <Huufarted> _jonesy_, if you're having an issue, wait 10 minutes and ask again.
[03:06] <cdm10> GeneralGustav: aha :-/ not sure, then.
[03:06] <opera> what is "disabling line wrapping"
[03:06] <Huufarted> _jonesy_, just becuase nobody answered the first time around, doesn't mean anything.  If someone knows the answer, they will answer.  Until then, be patient.
[03:06] <D3RGPS31> cdm10: X has something to do with TTY?
[03:06] <coreyman1> yea dieselsmoke, just wondering if i can do it when im behind NAT
[03:07] <cdm10> D3RGPS31: ...good point, it doesn't work when X starts either. :-/ not sure then.
[03:07] <_jonesy_> f it, I'll just put windows back on the machine. Windows blows but at least it can sustain a file transfer over gigabit.
[03:07] <cdm10> D3RGPS31: can you select your old kernel from the boot menu?
[03:07] <heatmzzr_> how do I make a startup script????
[03:07] <root> hey, need some help configuring my f1-6 screens
[03:07] <D3RGPS31> cdm10: no, but i can ssh if i have to go back
[03:07] <root> the text is off the screen
[03:07] <dieselsmoke> coreyman1: you can access any box on your subnet, but the WAN side would require port-forwarding.
[03:08] <D3RGPS31> root: it's your monitor
[03:08] <Guest60689> how can i change the display size of my text mode screens?
[03:08] <Guest60689> works fine when i am in gui mode
[03:08] <Huufarted> Guest60689, what do you mean?  The number of characters wide it is?  Is this before X loads?
[03:08] <Guest60689> its just when i am using the text screens. there has to be a way to change that
[03:09] <D3RGPS31> Guest60689: http://www.mepis.org/node/2992
[03:09] <Guest60689> Huufarted: no i mean that the vert display is about 4 lines longer then my screen
[03:09] <cdm10> Guest60689: are you using analog input on an LCD? try your LCD's auto-adjust mode.
[03:09] <Guest60689> cdm10: auto adjust screws it up
[03:09] <cdm10> D3RGPS31: what happens when you try to boot from an old kernel? or are none in the boot menu?
[03:10] <opera> "line wrapping disabled." is can't line wrap?
[03:10] <D3RGPS31> cdm10: one kernel listed, i should go check if doing that X reconfigure thing worked
[03:11] <Maahes> is there a way to specify I kill command with a wildcard?
[03:11] <GeneralGustav> Anyone know how to 'burn' an iso onto a USB drive?
[03:11] <Maahes> I want to kill everything starting with k
[03:12] <D3RGPS31> cdm10: what was the name of the old kernel xD
[03:12] <tony_> anyone dealed with checkpoint before? need help setting up the client
[03:12] <cdm10> D3RGPS31: ...well, they're numbered, aren't they? you should have multiple "Ubuntu" options in your boot menu.
[03:12] <D3RGPS31> cdm10: grub is set to only list the most recent
[03:14] <Guest60689> why would you send me there?
[03:14] <Guest60689> taht didnt help at all
[03:15] <Guest60689> i just need to know what file i need to edit to lower the screen size
[03:15] <cdm10> D3RGPS31: so, hit E on a boot option, edit the kernel line to the previous version (try .27-7... it seems to be the previous version released in the repos)
[03:15] <D3RGPS31> Guest60689: i assumed you wanted to increase the resolution of tty, sorry
[03:15] <cdm10> D3RGPS31: nvm, I lied.
[03:15] <tweak66> Hello. I just updated ubuntu 8.10 and now no network access? I get a dhcp address but cannot login to my router or access internet at all. Help Please? Anyone?
[03:15] <Guest60689> no, i need to decrease it, maybe put it in 800x600 or something.. i dont know.
[03:15] <D3RGPS31> cdm10: liar! about what?
[03:16] <Guest60689> i just want all the text to fit on the screen
[03:16] <IdentifyTarget> will ubuntu 8.10 desktop install on an intel based mac?
[03:16] <loveissuicide> does anyone has installed jaunty jackalope alpha?
[03:16] <Guest60689> IdentifyTarget: yes
[03:16] <IdentifyTarget> It has EFI, not bios
[03:16] <cdm10> !jaunty | loveissuicide
[03:16] <IdentifyTarget> ok cool
[03:16] <Guest60689> you might need to ding with it alittle though
[03:16] <IdentifyTarget> x86 iso?
[03:16] <Guest60689> google it, there is instructions on what to do
[03:16] <cdm10> D3RGPS31: -11 seems to be the latest, -9 the one before that.
[03:16] <Psuedo> back now, rebooting didn't make VMware work again :(
[03:16] <cdm10> D3RGPS31: I'm just guessing here, tohugh, so I'm not sure...
[03:16] <alesan> hi, a friend told me to get the "RSS reader" what can I use?
[03:17] <loveissuicide> ubottu: thanks
[03:17] <Huufarted> Anybody able to help me debug a samba share?  I set up both myself and a second user.  The second user can log into his samba share just fine, mine refuses to let me into it.  They both have ubuntu accounts set up in the OS
[03:17] <tweak66> what is vmware
[03:17] <cdm10> alesan: there are plenty in Add/Remove, or you can use an online one like Google Reader
[03:17] <Psuedo> tweak: VirtualMachine Ware
[03:17] <merther> anyone know if the new xubuntu has the new broadcom bcm43x native?
[03:17] <Guest60689> Huufarted:  sure, now if only i could see wha your wrriting b
[03:17] <alesan> cdm10, the best would be to have one inside firefox... woudlnt' it?
[03:17] <Guest60689> :P
[03:17] <IdentifyTarget> tweak66: vmware is a company that make virtualization software
[03:17] <alesan> cdm10, which one would you suggest?
[03:17] <Guest60689> lemme swap to gui and load a console
[03:17] <Guest60689> brb
[03:17] <tweak66> you mean like vbox
[03:17] <Psuedo> tweak66: Allows you to virtualise operating systems (Kind of like a gameboy emulator on the comp, only so much cooler)
[03:17] <Huufarted> Guest60689, ok, sounds good.
[03:17] <IdentifyTarget> i.e. running a vritual computer on an operating system
[03:18] <IdentifyTarget> yea vbox
[03:18] <cdm10> alesan: not really. It's more like an email client than a browser. I use Liferea, although it's been bugging me lately... I'm really not huge on RSS.
[03:18] <Psuedo> You could be running Vista, and within Vista you have running Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Red Hat and Windows XP
[03:18] <Psuedo> By within, I mean within VMware
[03:18] <tweak66> ah gotcha
[03:18] <cdm10> Psuedo: jeez, how much RAM do you have? :)
[03:18] <noobish> ok Huufarted
[03:19] <Psuedo> cdm10: 4GB
[03:19] <Huufarted> k, let me get the comments out of my smb.conf and I'll pastebin it
[03:19] <FaMott> Though Vista would eat all 4 gigs :P
[03:19] <tweak66> I just updated ubuntu 8.10 and now no network access? I get a dhcp address but cannot login to my router or access internet at all. Help Please? Anyone?
[03:19] <Psuedo> Only run a max of 3 at a time
[03:19] <Psuedo> lol
[03:19] <noobish> so you have 2 shares, 1 user can access both or only one share works?
[03:19] <noobish> nah dont worry about it
[03:19] <Psuedo> I run Server 2003 or Server 2008 and 2x Windows XP Pro
[03:19] <noobish> lets see if its something simple first
[03:19] <noobish> psuedo, no windows 7?

[03:25] <user_name> tony: Alright, because I'm trying out gNewSense and it doesn't support Broadcom. I guess the driver is proprietary? Anyway, is there anyway to run gNewSense and also use Ubuntu's wireless card drivers?
[03:25] <tweak66> i have no internet access in ubuntu to paste my ifconfig

[03:28] <azharcs> storbeck : Like this. find ~/Documents/ -name "*.exe" | rm $i

[03:36] <pl1> i would like to ask a noob question.  is it wise to install every update available?
[03:36] <tony_> tweak66: boot into nix, mount your windows partition, collect the info you need then save onto windows parition
[03:36] <Sirlightness> i have problem with my wireless conection
[03:36] <tweak66> 192.168.0.101
[03:36] <Dreamglider> Do i have to be in a Ubuntu LiveCD session to (try to) save data of a  external hard disk where the partition table is lost ?
[03:36] <b1n42y> pl1, are you talking about allowing all updates of installed software
[03:36] <tweak66> ok tony! where's the ifconfig file?
[03:36] <dieselsmoke> tweak66: try sudo dhclient eth0
[03:36] <a3Dman> hey, any way to add nvidia drivers on the live CD ?
[03:37] <CapaH> I am logged in with vncviewer however the screen does not refresh. Can anyone tell me why this is?
[03:37] <Sirlightness> wifi0: Atheros 5212: mem=0xd0200000, irq=21
[03:37] <dieselsmoke> pl1: yes, should be.
[03:37] <njk123> http://paste.ubuntu.com/126560/
[03:37] <pl1> b1n42y: everything that appears in Updated Manager
[03:37] <pl1> Update* Manager.
[03:37] <shausam27> dose anyone use a usb headset
[03:37] <wubb> shausam27: those are obsolete
[03:37] <b1n42y> pl1, if you are concerned about any specific software you should read its update release notes, otherwise ubuntu in my opinion has a nice blend of latest software versus stability
[03:37] <wubb> ps2 headsets ftw
[03:38] <njk123> check the paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/126560/

[03:38] <njk123> eth0 is not getting anything :(
[03:38] <pl1> b1n42y: I guess to be specific.. I just did a fresh install of 8.10.  Update Manager says 262 updates available.  Should I install all updates?

[03:41] <b1n42y> pl1, its usually a good idea, but if you heavily rely on a piece of software then you should read the release notes for that version
[03:41] <sileni> hey guys im trying to install the ubuntu netbook remix , but i don't know where to go to get the ISO... my netbook comes with xp installed so i can't just do sudo apt-get install :-\
[03:41] <njk123> hello did anyone look at my pastebin post?
[03:41] <tweak66> where is ifconfig file?
[03:41] <njk123> http://paste.ubuntu.com/126560/
[03:41] <Dryice> Has anyone experienced poor performance from Ubuntu's 'out of the box' FTP program? I switched to GFTP and it works flawlessly but "Connect to Server" was slow as heck
[03:41] <dieselsmoke> tweak66: cat /etc/resolv.conf  see any nameservers?  ifconfig is a command.
[03:42] <tweak66> oh lol..
[03:42] <sileni> tweak66: find / -name ifconfig ...returns /sbin/ifconfig
[03:42] <tweak66> i'll b back
[03:42] <FaMott> o.O
[03:43] <njk123> tweak66 any solutions?
[03:44] <maxride_> Erm....looks like I have a glitch in the 9.04 upgrade...  x_x;   Any way to send a screenshot of this?
[03:45] <Flannel> maxride_: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support/etc thanks!
[03:45] <shausam27> dose any one use usb for a head set
[03:45] <quesitonmark> i have a bit of a problem with ubuntu
[03:45] <maxride_> Roger....
[03:45] <halycon> hey does anyone know how to turn off the feature in Compiz where scrolling with the touchpad switches the desktop wall?
[03:45] <quesitonmark> do you have to get the nvidia driver to use compiz?
[03:46] <cyban> Whats the name of the interface that has clear windows etc, Emerald or something?
[03:46] <quesitonmark> i think it was aero
[03:46] <cyban> thats MS not Linux...
[03:47] <Flannel> cyban: That's compiz-fusion
[03:47] <cyban> ah thats it, thanks.... theres another part to it right?
[03:47] <dieselsmoke> quentusrex: cyban prefix comments/answers with nicknames, prevents confusion :)
[03:47] <Flannel> cyban: What do you mean another part?
[03:47] <cyban> compiz and I remember something about green, or emerald, something like that
[03:47] <wolter> cyban, i think you are looking for emerald
[03:47] <wolter> yeah
[03:47] <wolter> emerald exists
[03:47] <cyban> ah ok, thanks
[03:48] <wolter> it renders the window decorations
[03:48] <njk123> tweak did u get any solutions?
[03:48] <rrplay> njk123: did you try ifup interface  ? or sudo /etc/networking restart  ?
[03:49] <rrplay> njk123:   oopps shoud be sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[03:49] <cyban> wolter, happen to know what list I need for the package manager to find it?
[03:50] <jimdb_> Emerald is a replacement window decorator
[03:50] <wolter> cyban, you mean aptitude? just $ sudo apt-get install emerald
[03:50] <aprilhare> is there a ubuntu terminal command equivalent to OS X's Open command?
[03:51] <cyban> ah thanks
[03:51] <wolter> aprilhare, gnome-open i think
[03:51] <yingbo> hi
[03:51] <njk123> see, i did this, sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2, have desktop at 192.168.0.1 and when i ping 192.168.0.1 it says destination not reachable
[03:51] <jimdb_> What does the windows Open command do
[03:52] <jimdb_> Err osx
[03:52] <Sa[i]nT> I know linux is against this or whatever, but is there a way to make my "windows" key activate my menu?
[03:52] <aprilhare> wolter: thanks however it doesn't seem to behave as expected
[03:53] <wolter> aprilhare, what do you want?
[03:53] <Huufarted> Sa[i]nT, there is.  Linux calls it the 'Super' key, not the Windows key.
[03:53] <aprilhare> wolter: money :) naaah that'll do
[03:53] <aprilhare> thanks
[03:53] <wolter> ha
[03:53] <cyanide> Hello, I'm having a few graphic related problem. Twinview disabled after reboot and can't set a custom resolution for a monitor. I'm only a few days old to Ubuntu, would anyone be willing to help me out? :)
[03:53] <njk123> yesterday also there was a network manager  update but i think they didnt fix it :(
[03:54] <sileni> is the netbook remix ubuntu 8.10 + some netbook features or its cutdown 8.10 optimized for netbooks
[03:54] <aprilhare> wolter: for instance, when i try to open an icon on my desktop lbreakout2, i type gnome-open ~/Desktop/lbreakout2 and it doesn't open; gnome-open ~/Desktop/lbreakout2.desktop opens it in gedit
[03:54] <wolter> well, .desktop files are text files
[03:54] <wolter> but hm..
[03:54] <wolter> aprilhare, download gnome-do!
[03:54] <tw1tch> cyanide: what kind of graphics card do you have
[03:54] <Huufarted> Sa[i]nT, try this:  http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/2388/
[03:55] <wolter> thats like mac's quicksilver
[03:55] <aprilhare> ooooo different
[03:55] <cyanide> Geforce 6800 Ultra
[03:55] <voglster> im having an issue with the intel ABG3945 cause microcode errors and giving kernel panics on ibex... anyone have any suggestions for me?
[03:55] <wolter> aprilhare, or you could do a symlink to the binary, and place a custom icon and name as well on it.
[03:55] <tw1tch> cyanide: you have restricted drivers installed? yes?
[03:55] <wolter> it will open as you want, but it will have the arrow symbol on a corner :s
[03:55] <Ghost1227> anyone use ispconfig? I'm having an issue setting up email addresses
[03:55] <njk123> guys any idea as to what update did this to my ubuntu?
[03:56] <aprilhare> wolter: sounds like effort and produces ugly arrow :)
[03:56] <cyanide> I downloaded the ones from Nvidia and installed them per their instructions
[03:56] <wolter> aprilhare, yeah
[03:56] <aprilhare> wolter: besides, that wouldn't exactly work with wine apps.
[03:56] <rrplay> njk123: can you boot from an older kernel and check and or update because the dev is so fst at times for sucj
[03:56] <AzlanJoe> Joe_Azlan
[03:56] <wolter> aprilhare, well yes...
[03:56] <wolter> but aprilhare why don't you download gnome-do? its the best tool for launching applications you will ever see/have/use
[03:57] <aprilhare> wolter: already have
[03:57] <njk123> hmm lemme do that
[03:57] <aprilhare> wolter: trying to learn to use it now :)
[03:57] <wolter> gnome-do?
[03:57] <wolter> yeah.. its kind of tricky at the begining..
[03:57] <tw1tch> cyanide: did you get it working prperly after installing the driver
[03:57] <rrplay> njk123: Ijust googled this  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/326802
[03:58] <wolter> you just have to start typing the name of the application, and then the icon will appear next to it, press enter.
[03:58] <njk123> am using ubuntu 8.10
[03:58] <njk123> but i guess i have the prerelease source checked
[03:58] <cyanide> As far as I can tell the display resolution is proper for my smaller monitor but my larger isnt set properly
[03:58] <rrplay> njk123:  and I think you mentioned an upgrade ?? in this thread
[03:59] <njk123> yes
[03:59] <njk123> checking the post
[03:59] <rrplay> njk123: that package netwrk manager is prob from "sid"
[04:00] <maxride_> Ok, while upgrading to 9.04 the "Terminal" section is is showing "Comfiguring Libc6 Installation is able to restart some services..." etc, etc, and wants me to press "OK".....but I can't...
[04:01] <pl1> easiest way to install adobe flash?  from adobe website?

[04:06] <Huufarted> pl1, no worries.  :)
[04:06] <voglster> tweak66, your ubuntu machine doesnt have internet?
[04:07] <tweak66> not currently!
[04:07] <Awsoonn> I just attempted upgrade-manager -d and did no get an option to upgrade to jaunty. is there a  new proceedure?
[04:07] <voglster> tweak66, sorry im coming into this late not sre what your issue is please re explain
[04:07] <voglster> tweak66, sure*
[04:08] <NeoTubNinja> too bad there isnt a command sudo apt-get install internet
[04:08] <tweak66> it was fine i had full network access, and then i did a system update, now i can't login to either my router or use the internet. when i use windows it works tho.. duo boot..
[04:08] <voglster> NeoTubNinja, you would just get a bunch of tubes though not a big truck
[04:08] <NeoTubNinja> but then again you would need the internet to get the data from the repositories
[04:08] <Huufarted> tweak66, what kind of network connection?
[04:08] <voglster> tweak66, please put my name in replys to me so i can see em
[04:09] <voglster> tweak66, linux router? or a netgear etc?
[04:09] <tweak66> voglster d-link router
[04:09] <jimdb_> tweak66: Did you try booting with a different kernel?
[04:09] <tweak66> only my pc and xbox 360 hooked up to it
[04:09] <voglster> tweak66, in windows do a ipconfig /all
[04:09] <voglster> tweak66, check your dns entries
[04:10] <RoastedTiresX> I got a question. Is it possible I can run clonezilla live (an ISO that normally runs on CD) within an install of Ubuntu?
[04:10] <voglster> RoastedTiresX, lookup virtualbox
[04:10] <holycow> tweak66: you can check them in /etc/resolv.conf
[04:10] <RoastedTiresX> apt-get virtualbox?
[04:10] <holycow> can you poing your router?
[04:10] <voglster> RoastedTiresX, i suggested you google first
[04:10] <holycow> do you have an ip via dhcp or static ip?
[04:10] <tweak66> dhcp
[04:10] <voglster> holycow, hes getting a dhcp ip...
[04:11] <RoastedTiresX> I've heard of it. I was just curious if its in the repos.
[04:11] <holycow> sorry i'm comming in half way, i'll shutup
[04:11] <tweak66> no help! :p
[04:11] <tweak66> it was fine i had full network access, and then i did a system update, now i can't login to either my router or use the internet. when i use windows it works tho.. duo boot..
[04:11] <jimdb_> tweak66: Did u try a different kernel
[04:11] <voglster> RoastedTiresX, virtualbox-ose is... i think
[04:11] <pl1> what kind of load averages you usually have?
[04:11] <tweak66> yes i did
[04:11] <tweak66> me? fast
[04:11] <holycow> can you ping your router?
[04:11] <DasEI> RoastedTiresX: you can mount an iso and then try to start the cmd, but I think clonezilla uses dd, so no praticable idea on a mounted sys
[04:11] <tweak66> i can try to but i gotta jump to linux lol
[04:12] <voglster> tweak66, whats the dns info that windows gives you from ipconifg /all
[04:12] <tweak66> voglster: i dunno how to get a dos prompt! lol
[04:12] <voglster> tweak66, your dns info in linux is report 192.168.0.1 is your only dns server
[04:12] <tweak66> if it was linix i'd be there
[04:12] <RoastedTiresX> DasEI - My idea here is clonezilla live works off of CD, but I always have a work laptop with me that I dual boot XP/Ubuntu on, so if I could run clonezilla on the computer itself and not deal with any CDs thatd be faaaaaaaaaaaabulous
[04:12] <voglster> tweak66, start run cmd
[04:12] <tweak66> okay it just opens a window and closes it when i tell it to run that
[04:12] <mikeypizano> hey, i need some help with an external hdd, i wanna use it between 2 comps, its an e sata drive, what is the best file system to use for sharing between windows and ubuntu (3 comps, desktop for e sata and laptops for usb)
[04:13] <n2diy> I'm helping my friend install Ubuntu on his XP box, and it stalls at page 6, the migrate data page? Our only option is to cancel, and abort the install. Reboot, select Ubuntu, and ditto?
[04:13] <DasEI> RoastedTiresX: what do you want to do with clonezilla then ?
[04:13] <voglster> start run cmd
[04:13] <Huufarted> mikeypizano, FAT32
[04:13] <voglster> tweak66, start run... type cmd and hit enter
[04:13] <shausam27> can ubuntu play back music on usb headset
[04:13] <mikeypizano> its a 1TB drive
[04:13] <NeoTubNinja> yes mine is FAT32
[04:13] <NeoTubNinja> works fine
[04:13] <hackel> Why does my gnome-panel randomly re-arrange itself when I restart?
[04:13] <Huufarted> mikeypizano, FAT32 maxes out at about 2 TB, so you're fine
[04:13] <voglster> tweak66, then type ipconfig /all in the dos box
[04:13] <mikeypizano> oooh, thanks :)
[04:13] <RoastedTiresX> DasEI - I work for a school district. Sometimes if I walk in a lab and there's a computer a student messed up, I'd like to be able to go to the computer next ot it, pull an image, and push that image to the faulty computer in the lab... with my laptop being the host and main storage unit for the image.
[04:13] <mikeypizano> cya later guys
[04:14] <DasEI> shausam27: it can, if the headset is supported, see:
[04:14] <DasEI> !hardware
[04:14] <tweak66> okay done.. lots of output, can't cut/paste it?
[04:14] <rrplay> n2diy:  are you trying to migrate any data ??
[04:14] <voglster> tweak66, just read down for the dns server info and let me know what it reports
[04:14] <Huufarted> RoastedTiresX, I recommend a gparted live cd.  It will let you backup to and restore from an FTP server.
[04:14] <RoastedTiresX> I use GParted. But not for cloning purposes.
[04:14] <n2diy> rrplay, umm, what else would be migrating?
[04:15] <Huufarted> RoastedTiresX, if it's a live CD, you can use it for cloning no problem.  Cloning over the network works very well in my experience.
[04:15] <tweak66> vogler it says on one line dhcp enabled:no
[04:15] <RoastedTiresX> I'd rather just use Clonezilla because it's what I used all year. I'm just trying to elimuinate the CD by using Clonezilla on my laptop to pull the image
[04:15] <rrplay> n2diy:  you really do not need to migrate anything just get it installed
[04:15] <Huufarted> gotcha, RoastedTiresX
[04:15] <RoastedTiresX> Huufarted - Have you used clonezilla server edition on DRBL?
[04:15] <Elems> Why is it that on my ubuntu live cd (8.04) nautilus doesn't work? the process is running (well sleeping according to system monitor) its kind of like when on windows, explorer crashes.
[04:15] <Huufarted> RoastedTiresX, no I have not.  Heck, I don't even know what DRBL is
[04:16] <wolter> Elems, did you mess around with anything?
[04:16] <DasEI> RoastedTiresX: I see, for that that's worth a try: http://packratstudios.com/index.php/2008/04/20/how-to-setup-clonezilla-on-linux-ubuntu-quick-start-guide/
[04:16] <Huufarted> ah, diskless remote boot
[04:16] <RoastedTiresX> Huufarted - Diskless Remote Boot Linux... which is required to run Clonezilla Server, which clones over the network. I've tried to get Clonezilla SE working and I havent had much success, but I use the LiveCD often.
[04:16] <lakotajames> Has anyone been able to get the head tracking plugin for compiz to work?  I bought a webcam specifically so I could try it.
[04:16] <n2diy> rrplay, we are at page 6 of page 7, of the install process, it is Ubuntu that wants to migrate stuff, not us.
[04:16] <TBotNik> All; Having a problem with VMWare install.  Have 2 laptops and 3 desktops I want to install it on, under Ubuntu.  Working on 1st DT.  When I get the player installed I get a version incompatibility error with my W2K SP1 install CD.  Trying to find the right VMW version for this, but all my searching tells nothing about which VMW release is compatible with which release of Windows.  I also have two machines that will be Win XP, but again S
[04:16] <Elems> wolter: no, I'm using it on my dad's laptop since he messed it up (I did a memtest for a long tiem, no errors there). I tried restarting X, which didn't help
[04:17] <rrplay> n2diy:  there should be an option like enter and it will not migrate anything to continue
[04:17] <DasEI> !hardware > shausam27
[04:17] <DasEI> !pm > shausam27
[04:17] <Elems> wolter: before restarting X, the area on the desktop where the background is was frozen, always a little please wait cursor thing. after restarting X there is no background at all, no waiting either just nothign
[04:17] <rrplay> n2diy: something like leaving it blank and NOT migrating anything
[04:18] <Huufarted> samba question:  I have two users set up for Samba.  Both users' home directories have 755 permissions and are owned by their respective user.  Only one of the directories can be viewed over samba, though.  Any ideas?
[04:18] <n2diy> rrplay, we have a forward button, and a cancel button, the forward button is ghosted out, no matter what we try to do.
[04:18] <user_name> hey I extracted the driver for Ndiswrapper, but I cant find a .INF
[04:18] <DasEI> !iso | RoastedTiresX  might also be helpful
[04:18] <rrplay> n2diy: and you are leaving it blank ??
[04:18] <tw1tch> kk
[04:19] <davewhb> ive been playing around with things like hildon desktop matchbox and onboard because i plan to implement a computer withonly touch screen input soon, however i managed to screw up the settings for all users on the system as well as any new users, the windows open full screen and no window borders, i tried uninstalling everything i could think of but i dont know how to get my settings back short of a reinstall, can anyone help?
[04:19] <rrplay> n2diy:  di you guys do a media check of the cd ??
[04:19] <wolter> thats so weird Elems
[04:19] <TBotNik> Elems: wolter: If you fight X driver problems you need to talk with the expert NeedySeagoon on #gentoo
[04:19] <wolter> i would backup and reinstall (if you don't have home on another partition)
[04:19] <n2diy> rrplay, no, Ubuntu found the XP user, and offers that as an option, but we can't ignore it, the forward button is ghosted when we ignore it.
[04:20] <wolter> Elems, maybe I would restore the xorg.conf before doing that
[04:20] <n2diy> rrplay, yes, this box was setup with the same disk.
[04:20] <rrplay> n2diy:  are you planing on dual boot setup and did you run a media check ??
[04:20] <Elems> wotler: remember, its a live cd, which makes thing weirder
[04:21] <n2diy> yes, and yes.
[04:21] <Elems> wotler I've used it on other computers without problems...
[04:21] <wolter> !tab | Elems
[04:21] <wolter> well, now thats even weirder.
[04:21] <Nytrix> need help with OpenDNS using ppp connection, can someone help?
[04:21] <rrplay> n2diy: :  did you try to leave that info blank nothing ?

[04:24] <TBotNik> All; Having a problem with VMWare install.  Have 2 laptops and 3 desktops I want to install it on, under Ubuntu.  Working on 1st DT.  When I get the player installed I get a version incompatibility error with my W2K SP1 install CD.

I also have two machines that will be Win XP, but again S

[04:24] <Elems> TBotNik no, not fighitng X

[04:25] <TBotNik> Elems: What you fighting, got in on last part?
[04:25] <TBotNik> dotblank: Yeah it suck and blows too!
[04:25] <DasEI> TBotNik: there is ##windows and #vmware, too, this is ubu ; sp2 ?!

[04:31] <rrplay> n2diy:  look above you in this thread for the page info
[04:31] <TBotNik> Elems: Oh, I think you found your problem.  I had some problem with that version and read up on it so went back to 7.10 and then after good install run "upgrade"  no problems with that Live CD, and upgrade works right.
[04:31] <DasEI> halycon:you'll get it ?
[04:31] <dotblank> halycon: "sudo rm -r ~/.local/share/Trash/*" will delete all trash

[04:35] <holycow> lol what he said
[04:35] <Psuedo> I just installed some updates from update-manager (Intrepid) that broke my system. Is there a way to uninstall those updates? I can still login to GNOME, or OpenBox. I know the exact updates that are causing the problem.
[04:35] <pl1> whats bt4
[04:35] <dotblank> davemcnamara: you can install a firefox addon that will do it
[04:35] <davemcnamara> Is this something I can find out easily about online?
[04:35] <halycon> Does anyone know how to make it so that it doesnt scroll viewports when you scroll using the touchpad on the desktop? I believe it is some compiz feature related to the desktop wall

[04:36] <coreyman1> Psuedo you'll have to install what you had before
[04:36] <Psuedo> coreyman1: Yes, but to revert to what was there before I updated?
[04:36] <DasEI> Psuedo: but I'd try to run another upgrade/-date first
[04:37] <Psuedo> It's gdm
[04:37] <TBotNik> dotblank: Do you which source the VirtualBox in synaptic pkg manager is?
[04:38] <DasEI> Psuedo: from cmd-line: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade                   <<does this give errors ?

[04:41] <DasEI>  TBotNik: maybe something else is messing, the suns has just a more extended functons (usb and stuff)
[04:41] <LinuxRules> Is this  a known issue with Macbooks and ubuntu?
[04:42] <dotblank> LinuxRules: you must set the boot flag on your partition
[04:42] <dotblank> LinuxRules: oh its a mac, I dunno

[04:44] <jimmygoon> How do I check the uid of a user?

[04:45] <libertarian4life> is there such thing as a "disk defragmenter" for ubuntu?

[04:48] <DasEI> dotblank:yes, has to be recompiled from time to time, but vmwaretols is the other side
[04:48] <DasEI> tools*
[04:49] <dotblank> DasEI: Oh, I thought we were talking about the host
[04:49] <MK13> is there a service like pastebin only for screenshots (just for temporary reason)
[04:49] <wrektjet> DasEi and ubottu - yes i was reading up on GRUB. but i cam across this statement: The basic concept involves partitioning a disk, to accommodate each planned installation, including separate partitions for data storage or backups. The partitions should be done with a Windows partitioning tool (diskpart, Disk Management), rather than a Linux tool (parted, QTparted), for the simple reason that Windows is more particular (cf. "picky") about
[04:49] <wrektjet> (sorry)
[04:51] <dotblank> wrektjet: Why use a windows tool to partition a disk, the linux ones are fine if not better. This only matters if you have a ssd
[04:51] <TBotNik> DasEI, dotblank: Well queried the group on #vmware about version, but no response.  I get that a lot on those specialty channels.  They are usually logged in, but gone off to bed.
[04:51] <DasEI> wrekjet:iwndows won't do ext-partis as ubu won't do ntfs, but dualboot is no prob, also google gparted live
[04:51] <jimmygoon> How do I check what user a process is running as?

[04:51] <DasEI> !dualboot | wrekjet

[04:52] <jimmygoon> rrplay, is there anyway I can grep top?

[04:52] <davewhb> ive been playing around with things like hildon desktop matchbox and onboard because i plan to implement a computer withonly touch screen input soon, however i managed to screw up the settings for all users on the system as well as any new users, the windows open full screen and no window borders, i tried uninstalling everything i could think of but i dont know how to get my settings back short of a reinstall, can anyone help?
[04:53] <jimmygoon> dotblank, much appreciated.
[04:53] <rrplay> jimmygoon:  see man top  -u  for users etc info
[04:53] <CentHOGG> z0d14k: hi thanks. I've been trying to get an install to boot and I've been getting mdadm: no devices found for conf
[04:53] <nickrud> ps -A
[04:53] <CentHOGG> z0d14k: but I think I know my prob is in the initrd.img
[04:53] <dotblank> CentHOGG: do you use software raid?
[04:53] <CentHOGG> yeah
[04:54] <CentHOGG> 1st time
[04:54] <tweak66> hello. i installed an update today, and now have no internet access. i can't even ping my router.. duo booted windows to get here... help?
[04:54] <CentHOGG> install
[04:54] <z0d14k> CentHOGG: Did you create the raidsets during install, or did you do it manually later?
[04:54] <libertarian4life> okay, did synaptic search for "gtk glass engine" all i got was- themes for gtk2 murrine engine- is this it?
[04:54] <CentHOGG> z0d14k: with the installer
[04:54] <dotblank> CentHOGG: I had lots of problems with software raids I wouldn't ask me :)
[04:54] <CentHOGG> :)
[04:54] <CentHOGG> my mdadm.conf reads funny i think
[04:55] <z0d14k> CentHOGG: It usually works for me creating on install.  A couple times I have had to generate a mdadm.conf, then regenerate the initramfs.
[04:55] <libertarian4life> (actual package name is "Murrine-themes")
[04:55] <CentHOGG> under DEVICE it just says partitions
[04:55] <dotblank> CentHOGG: make sure its by uuid cause its really really easy to get the disks out of order
[04:55] <Nytrix> !rules
[04:55] <wrektjet> ubottu i see on that page that when booting up the installation will help me partition the drive so that will help. although i will not install windows first b/c i dont own a copy at the moment
[04:55] <CentHOGG> yeah dot I think uuid is ok. I can assemble the md0 and see it, just can't boot it up
[04:56] <CentHOGG> with initrd
[04:56] <wrektjet> that was a joke rite?
[04:56] <z0d14k> CentHOGG: mdadm  --examine  --scan --config=mdadm.conf >> ./mdadm.conf       --  Then regenerate initrd.
[04:56] <dotblank> wrektjet: cfdisk is a great tool to make quick changes
[04:56] <CentHOGG> z0d14k: I think I'll have to regenerate an initrd
[04:56] <Nytrix> lol@wrektjet

[05:00] <Huufarted> nytrix, noob is demeaning and deters people from wanting to visit if they get bashed for asking questions.
[05:00] <dotblank> Nytrix: I guess so, it could be insulting and give a false representation of the ubuntu community
[05:01] <Huufarted> Nytrix, everybody starts somewhere and if we talked down on the people trying to learn, where will we get our replacement 'techs' from?
[05:01] <DasEI> :)

[05:02] <FloodBot2> vijay: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:02] <azlon> are there any deb files that will help manage a bluetooth connection?

[05:03] <dotblank> vijay: are you behind a proxy?
[05:03] <DasEI> azlon:or use bluetooth for search of synaptic
[05:03] <dieselsmoke> azlon: bluez-utils i think  apt-cache search bluetooth
[05:04] <vijay> dotblank: i dont think im behind a proxy,im using a wireless connection though
[05:04] <CentHOGG> z0d14k: thx. Say I did this... I reinstall, then boot with Rescue Mode, do the mdadm command, then regenerate initrd.img
[05:04] <azlon> DasEI: yeah, i browsed around the bluetooth packages that are part of the sources i have listed, but couldnt find anything to help with forwarding audio to my bluetooth headphones
[05:04] <dotblank> vijay: try changing to a differant mirror
[05:05] <DasEI> azlon:does lspci / hwinfo find your device (I never used bt) ?
[05:05] <tweak66> can someone plz help me? i updated ubuntu and now i have no internet access!
[05:05] <DasEI> does
[05:05] <dotblank> tweak66: is this wireless?
[05:05] <Nytrix> NOT in the sense of talking down at someone, but just saying the word...like "am a noob" etc
[05:05] <tweak66> no
[05:05] <Nytrix> so hah! :)

[05:06] <azlon> DasEI: yeah, i can connect to the headset, but no audio is sent to them
[05:06] <Huufarted> Nytrix, it's still a channel rule that words such as that are outlawed.  They're in place for a reason so PLEASE abide by them so everybody feels welcome.
[05:06] <DasEI> azlon: ..using alsa ?
[05:06] <virus_> anyone use IRSSI ??
[05:06] <Ghost1227> i'm trying to figure out how to set up an email account with ispconfig... when i set one up, it'll allow you to send, but when someone replies they get an error that says "no such user" anyone able to give me a hand
[05:06] <z0d14k> CentHOGG: If you are willing to reinstall it may just work, but you have to reinstall.  If you go to rescue mode, regenerate the mdadm.conf, then regenerate the initramfs, try that.
[05:07] <Huufarted> !ispconfig
[05:07] <CentHOGG> yeah
[05:07] <dotblank> DasEI: azlon: try a speaker test

[05:07] <tweak66> dotblank: i could but i'd have to go start up ubuntu and come back since it's on this machine lol
[05:07] <azlon> dotblank: what kind of speaker test?
[05:07] <tweak66> duoboot windows
[05:07] <azlon> DasEI: thanks
[05:08] <z0d14k> CentHOGG: No.  That is fine.  That just tells mdadm to look at partitions instead of raw devices.
[05:08] <tweak66> dotblank: i also don't get a ping reply from my router, but it works fine in windows
[05:08] <dotblank> tweak66: can you connect with wireless?, I hate NIC problems
[05:08] <DasEI> azlon: in alsamixer, also pull up the pcm-slider
[05:09] <dotblank> tweak66: is there a ethX entry in ifconfig
[05:09] <CentHOGG> z0d14k: last question. Why do you think the RAID didn't assemble automatically at boot then?
[05:09] <tweak66> i don't have the cards in my stuff for wireless
[05:09] <z0d14k> CentHOGG: You could check the partitions and make sure they are of type 82.
[05:09] <CentHOGG> ok
[05:09] <cyban> how do I switch to compiz for theme manager
[05:09] <CentHOGG> z0d14k: ext3?
[05:09] <azlon> DasEI: PCM is all the way up
[05:09] <dotblank> cyban: simply enable normal or extra effects in the appearance dialog will do that
[05:10] <z0d14k> CentHOGG: Sorry, type fd.  Type: `sudo fdisk /dev/sda` then in fdisk, hit p and make sure the partition type is Linux RAID Autodetect.
[05:10] <tweak66> how do i check my ifconfig?
[05:10] <CentHOGG> ok
[05:10] <DasEI> azlon: in the GUI, does it show your bt-device ?
[05:10] <CentHOGG> i'm doing this tomorrow :)
[05:10] <z0d14k> tweak66: /sbin/ifconfig (or just ifconfig if it is in your path).
[05:10] <sebsebseb> on someone else's computer Ubuntu is running slow with 3GB RAM, how can that be solved?
[05:10] <CentHOGG> z0d14k: thanks for all your help
[05:11] <roccity_> tweak66, sudo ifconfig -a
[05:11] <tweak66> ay. i will go get my ifconfig output. hope u guys are still here in 5 mins
[05:11] <azlon> DasEI: im not sure, i have Capture Device, Capture Device1 and two Input Device listed... not sure if one of those is it
[05:11] <z0d14k> CentHOGG:  No problem.  As I think about it more, I would look at partition types first.  mdadm can only auto-assemble RAIDsets if they have the right partition type.
[05:11] <azlon> DasEI: when i select those for audio output nothing comes out
[05:12] <DasEI>  sebsebseb: check top fo what causes it (or htop)
[05:12] <z0d14k> CentHOGG: Not only that, it is a _MUCH_ easier thing to check than recreating mdadm and initrd.
[05:12] <DasEI> azlon: the upper right corner of the GUI, which device is listed there ?
[05:13] <bangalibabu> applications are hanging so much these days. especially firefox and media players. what's the problem? what do i do?
[05:13] <DasEI> !bum | sebsebseb
[05:14] <rrplay> bangalibabu:  how much memory installed ??
[05:14] <bangalibabu> 512 mb
[05:14] <Spanglegluppet> i have a 1st gen nonjailbroken ipod touch running the 2.2 firmware, and i want to sync it with ubuntu 8.10. any way to do this?
[05:15] <rrplay> bangalibabu:  firefox generally can leak a bit
[05:15] <DasEI> !ipod | Spanglegluppet
[05:15] <rrplay> bangalibabu:  are you using gnome firefox and media players
[05:15] <dotblank> bangalibabu: 512 isn't much but keeping firefox open for long periods of time can use up much more memory
[05:15] <azlon> DasEI: hrmm... not sure what you mean? are you talking about the GUI for my audio settings or are you talking about the tooltip when i hover over my sound icon?
[05:15] <DasEI> azlon: alsa-gui
[05:16] <azlon> oh, hold on
[05:16] <bangalibabu> gnome firefox and vlc and mplayer
[05:16] <dotblank> azlon: have you tried aplay -L
[05:16] <jbu311> hi all, when I go to download 8.10 64 bit version, it automatically makes me download ubuntu-8.10-desktop-amd64.iso ... is that right?  I don't have an AMD processor, I have an intel core 2 quad
[05:16] <rrplay> bangalibabu:  another 512 or 256 stick ill do wonders
[05:17] <azlon> dotblank: ok, that listed all kinds of sound devices, but not my bluetooth
[05:17] <dotblank> jbu311: Intel copied the architecture of amd64, so yes it will work
[05:17] <dotblank> azlon: try aplay -l

[05:17] <bangalibabu> i need to install more memory?
[05:17] <rrplay> bangalibabu:  or try xfce or openbox wms
[05:18] <Huufarted> bangalibabu, it's a good idea to install additional RAM, especially as cheap as it is nowadays.
[05:18] <azlon> dotblank: card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC268 Analog [ALC268 Analog]
[05:18] <azlon>   Subdevices: 0/1

[05:18] <azlon>   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
[05:19] <DasEI> azlon:open a terminal..
[05:19] <DasEI> azlon: sudo apt-get install pastebin
[05:19] <dotblank> bangalibabu: Increasing the amount of ram also increases the life of a HD by not creating virtual ram
[05:19] <DasEI> azlon: sudo apt-get install pastebinit  *sorry
[05:19] <Vantrax> bangalibabu, if your having issues with ubuntu running slow try xubuntu, its the same, but using XFCE which is designed for low powered computers
[05:20] <bangalibabu> intel celeron D

[05:20] <lakotajames> anyone here know how to set up the head tracking plugin for compiz?
[05:20] <DasEI> azlon: give url here
[05:20] <azlon> DasEI: ok, hold on
[05:21] <DasEI> bangalibabu: yes, that works, but you mussn't have to many apps running in the same time, also vm's won't work well, see top and htop, when system is laggy
[05:22] <DasEI> !conky
[05:22] <DasEI> conky is a system-monitoring tool, bangalibabu
[05:22] <Huufarted> !conky
[05:22] <Huufarted> dasei, is conky command line or GUI based?
[05:23] <DasEI> Huufarted: gui

[05:24] <marko_> can someone please tell me how i can make my desktop background into a slideshow?
[05:24] <DasEI> Huufarted: man nice could be from interest, also
[05:24] <vijay> dotblank : thank you ,my issue fixed now

[05:25] <DasEI> marko_: right click > desk-bckgrnd > dia show
[05:25] <Huufarted> tweak66, what's your default route?  netstat -rn
[05:25] <rrplay> !feh
[05:25] <tweak66> huufarted: i would have to boot to linux to execute that command
[05:26] <cyban> how do I change the theme manager to compiz?
[05:26] <marko_> DasEI...huh? nothig like it
[05:26] <pipegeek> So, ever since I upgraded to intrepid two months ago, I've been having this problem where qt4 apps (and openoffice) have completely blank menus.  They open, but there's no text in them at all.  This only happens when gnome is running.
[05:26] <dotblank> Huufarted: or use route
[05:26] <ohletmeinnowjesu> hey guys
[05:26] <pipegeek> I've googled around a while, and other people have experienced this, but nobody seems to know what it is.  Any ideas?
[05:26] <Huufarted> tweak66, one thing that really sticks out about your pastebin is the 'operation not permitted' when you try and ping the router
[05:26] <pipegeek> very, *very* irritating
[05:26] <pipegeek> makes opera hard to use
[05:26] <ohletmeinnowjesu> does anyone know a dvd authoring tool that will burn .uif images?
[05:26] <tweak66> yes i know :( but it works when i boot to windows
[05:27] <Scunizi> pipegeek: check your theme. change it to the typical gnome ubuntu default and see if you have the same problem
[05:27] <pipegeek> Nuked .gnome, .gnome2, .gconf to no effect
[05:27] <pipegeek> Scunizi: did
[05:27] <MiniTommyBrez> START KEYLOGGER
[05:27] <DasEI> marko_: right click on desktop > appearance settings > background > type  > dia show
[05:28] <azlon> DasEI: http://pastebin.com/f776d66af
[05:28] <Huufarted> tweak66, we need to see your default route (gateway in windows-speak).  Boot to linux and type 'netstat -an' and give us the results, please.
[05:28] <Scunizi> pipegeek: did you try to create a new user and see if it happens there?
[05:28] <Huufarted> tweak66, but before you do, give me a minute.
[05:28] <dotblank> tweak66: before you do can you past the output of ipconfig /all
[05:28] <ohletmeinnowjesu> ^bump
[05:28] <marko_> iDASEI m using Ubuntu 8.10, the stuff u just mentioned doesnt seem to show up
[05:29] <tweak66> yes i can dotblank
[05:29] <Huufarted> tweak66, the command dotblank wants is typed in Windows, not Linux
[05:29] <pipegeek> Scunizi, Aha!  (yes, I did, it does)  It happens specifically when *compiz* is running

[05:29] <mejobloggs> i have ubuntu server, and installed ubuntu-desktop, but the desktop runs automatically when i turn the pc on. How can I set it so I have to manually start it?
[05:29] <pipegeek> :( I like my eye candy
[05:29] <jonathon_> ...and /etc/X11/xorg.conf is empty
[05:29] <jonathon_> why would that be?
[05:30] <fr500_> mejobloggs: try BUM
[05:30] <Huufarted> dotblank, you thinking what I'm thinking?  No default route?
[05:30] <mejobloggs> fr500_: thanks
[05:30] <fr500_> mejobloggs: and well i guess there's a fancy way but i did chmod -x /etc/init.d/gdm

[05:31] <DasEI> azlon: did you check the harware list for your model ?
[05:31] <jigp> 2.0.0.75
[05:31] <TruthTac1> ive got ubuntu 8.04 whats the best way to upgrade to 8.10
[05:31] <Huufarted> dotblank, yes but SHOULD is the key word.

[05:31] <TruthTac1> thanks
[05:31] <azlon> DasEI: hold on
[05:31] <pipegeek> ugh.  Turns out it's something to do with the nvidia-glx-96 driver.  Sucks.
[05:32] <Huufarted> tweak66, please boot to Ubuntu and give us the results of 'netstat -rn'
[05:32] <TBotNik> DasEI: On VMW?  Let me get on that machine and I'll capture it.
[05:32] <mejobloggs> if i have no graphics card, will i still be able to vnc into ubuntu desktop?
[05:32] <tweak66> ok, i shall brb
[05:32] <Huufarted> thank you, tweak66
[05:32] <TBotNik> DasEI: Sorry had to step away a minute.
[05:32] <endial> Anyone know of a way to get IE on Ubuntu  I have wine with full updates
[05:32] <pipegeek> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/297836
[05:32] <dotblank> tweak66: Huufarted it must be a routing issue, try posting the output of "route"
[05:32] <tweak66> just type route in cli?
[05:32] <DasEI> TBotNik: where are you at now ?
[05:32] <Huufarted> dotblank, he's already doing it
[05:32] <tweak66> o ok brnb
[05:33] <dotblank> Huufarted: tweak66 nvm
[05:33] <danbhfive> how does one hammer out harddisk errors?  ie, how do I "repair" badblocks, or determine that the drive is dieing, or I dunno
[05:33] <DasEI> !fsck
[05:33] <Huufarted> dotblank, the difference with 'netstat -rn' and 'route' is that netstat -rn won't try and reverse-lookup the names on the IPs.
[05:33] <dotblank> danbhfive: If your dmesg shows alot of IO errors it may indicate a failing drive
[05:33] <danbhfive> I've tried fsck -cc...  but it doesnt give much info
[05:34] <DasEI> danbhfive: also e2fsck
[05:34] <dotblank> Huufarted: usefull to know
[05:34] <danbhfive> DasEI: e2fsck is the fsck for ext*
[05:34] <DasEI> danbhfive: see man e2fsck, it's an extended fsck
[05:34] <danbhfive> dotblank: the problem that I'm having is that I will get lots of errors on one partition, but other partitions will be fine
[05:35] <Huufarted> dotblank:  try this: 'route' and then type 'netstat -r' and compare the results
[05:35] <DasEI> danbhfive: use un UNmounted partis only, f.e.: e2fsck -p /dev/whatever
[05:35] <Huufarted> dotblank:  and then try 'netstat -rn' and you'll see what I mean.  I prefer it without the names and instead just the IPs
[05:35] <dotblank> Huufarted: Its the same, is it an alias in bash?
[05:35] <CUBeR64> i have a question, my 8.10 livecd pops out when its at the loading bar :S
[05:36] <Huufarted> dotblank, not an alias, just a different command.  Identical results, though.  It's faster when it doesn't have to do a lookup, however.
[05:36] <DasEI> sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; danbhfive
[05:36] <dotblank> Huufarted: yes much
[05:37] <DasEI> CUBeR64: checked the media for defects ?
[05:37] <TBotNi1> DasEI: OK on U box now
[05:37] <dotblank> CUBeR64: during shutdown or startup
[05:37] <azlon> DasEI: what do you mean check the hardware list? i ran hciconfig -a and it gives me http://pastebin.com/m66aeb13

[05:38] <dotblank> DasEI: CUBeR64 perhaps you could start by copying the entire disk to memory
[05:38] <Huufarted> bah, hurry up tweak66.  :)  Getting sleepy, but don't want to leave him hanging.
[05:39] <w1> ad
[05:39] <default> often the /dev designations for some of my drives are changing from boot to boot... so my automounting in fstab isn't working..  what's going on?  how do I keep this from happening?
[05:39] <CUBeR64> dotblank: to ram? how
[05:39] <dieselsmoke> Huufarted: i think tweak needs a default gateway, route add default gw 192.168.0.1 eth0
[05:39] <dotblank> Huufarted: its weird that his kernel update messed this up. He may have to pick an earlier kernel from the grub menu and version lock it
[05:40] <DasEI> TBotNi1:(ibex I assume) get the latest vmwareplayer from their website and install it
[05:40] <KDB9000> I need some help right away. My cat jumped up on my lap when I had my laptop in my lap and managed to press the shift and delete key followed by enter and deleted my timesheet excel document
[05:40] <Huufarted> dieselsmoke, I think so as well, but he's finding out right now.  Didn't want to have him add the gw until we were sure it was screwed up.
[05:40] <acegikmo> Ok, question: anyone using evolution to synch to google calendar?
[05:40] <nickrud> default, use UUID's for identifying partions in fstab rather than the /dev
[05:40] <KDB9000> is there any way I can recover it?
[05:40] <dieselsmoke> Huufarted: good thinking.
[05:40] <dotblank> CUBeR64: I am not familiar with all the boot options but I believe it is possible
[05:40] <wrektjet> if a particular piece of hardware isnt listed on the hardware list it doesnt necc mean it wont work rite?
[05:40] <mikeypizano> man why does gparted make my system crawl but on lived it never does
[05:40] <DasEI> TBotNi1 : (ibex)
[05:40] <Scunizi> acegikmo: I only have it working one direction.. down into my pc but not up to google.
[05:41] <CUBeR64> dotblank: k, ill give it a whirl, thanks
[05:41] <Huufarted> dieselsmoke, I work support for a company quite a bit and when you throw too much tech at people their head explodes and ugly things happen to servers.  :)
[05:41] <dieselsmoke> Huufarted: this is true.
[05:41] <acegikmo> I've got it going with evolution's new "google calendar" setting, but when I go offline it doesn't display anymore :(

[05:41] <TBotNi1> DasEI: Right now VMW is not working at all on U Box.  Time/Load Icon comes up for a while 2-3 mins, then goes away, but no session.
[05:42] <KDB9000> is there anyway to recover a document that has been deleted using shift+delete? I know it is perminate delete but I believe there are programs to recover perminately deleted files in windows, but i don't know for ubuntu
[05:42] <DasEI> TBotNi1: gcc installed ?

[05:45] <Huufarted> tweak66! Whatcha got for us?
[05:45] <tweak66> :)
[05:45] <nickrud> wrektjet, it means don't use 177.82 drivers with whatever hangs ;)
[05:46] <Huufarted> slow site, give me a sec

[05:46] <tweak66> np
[05:46] <DasEI> nickrud: good to know
[05:46] <wrektjet> hangs means freezes up?
[05:46] <Huufarted> tweak66, you are going to want to kill me.  I meant to have you type 'netstat -rn'
[05:46] <tweak66> hahaha
[05:46] <nihilist> high

[05:46] <FaMott> !killall5
[05:46] <FaMott> huh.
[05:46] <tweak66> as long as u stick around it's ok
[05:46] <nihilist> i cannot run gadmin-proftpd segfault
[05:46] <DasEI> TBotNi1: you now that the player doesn't build vm's ?
[05:46] <Huufarted> tweak66, I am sticking around, but not for too much longer.  Get to it
[05:47] <dotblank> Huufarted: tweak66 lol perhaps route would have been better...
[05:47] <Huufarted> tweak66, you can blame me, though.  dotblank, we need to see the IPs, not the names, though.
[05:47] <tweak66> ok so type route?
[05:47] <cjae> how do I edit my bug report again don't see the button
[05:47] <Huufarted> tweak66:  route -n
[05:47] <Supermm> danbhfive: I tried /record apple, said it was recording.  Then I /quit and reopened it, and now it wont /play apple
[05:47] <dotblank> Huufarted: true
[05:47] <wrektjet> is there a more idiot-level ubuntu room?
[05:47] <tweak66> rount -n ok
[05:47] <Huufarted> tweak66, dotblank:  'route -n' and 'netstat -rn' are the same thing
[05:47] <cjae> found it
[05:47] <nickrud> wrektjet, this is it :) and I missed your earlier, hang usually means freeze
[05:48] <Huufarted> tweak66, route not rount
[05:48] <dotblank> tweak66: Huufarted If all else fails you could try selecting an older kernel from the grub menu
[05:48] <nickrud> !who wrektjet
[05:48] <Huufarted> go go go
[05:48] <nickrud> !who | wrektjet

[05:48] <Huufarted> tweak66, go go go.  :)  It's late here
[05:48] <dotblank> tweak66: did compile your own drivers?
[05:48] <danbhfive> Supermm: I used to use /stop to stop the recording.  I kinda forget how I got it to play.  I thought it was just /play.  But thats all I remember.  Maybe /quit causes the recording to be discarded?
[05:48] <Huufarted> dotblank, wait.  one thing at a time bud.
[05:48] <TBotNi1> DasEI: Catch you on flip, off 2 bed. Have 6am wakeup.
[05:48] <DasEI> TBotNi1: did build essential help out ?
[05:49] <DasEI> TBotNi1: k, I'm making through, see ya
[05:49] <Huufarted> dotblank, we're going to make his head explode.  :)
[05:49] <pipegeek> For the record, 'option "RenderAccel" "false"' fixed the problem.  Don't mind the slight 2d rendering performance hit
[05:49] <dotblank> Huufarted: if the kernel doesn't matter maybe its something in modules-restricted?
[05:49] <pipegeek> it's a crappy card anyway
[05:49] <Huufarted> dotblank, I don't know.  That's out of my scope.
[05:49] <Supermm> danbhfive: perhaps.  I'll try stop.  I also notice the repo one isn't the latest one (as with most programs :-\ )
[05:50] <wrektjet> ok thanks everyone for the help tonight. i will hopefully succeed in my project to utilize linux.
[05:50] <dotblank> Huufarted: He may have to blacklist his current driver
[05:50] <Huufarted> dotblank, I'm a network guy and BASIC linux guy.  I know a little about a lot and a lot about a little, but not a lot about a lot.  :)
[05:50] <squarebracket> if i have two directories, is there a way to show the contents of both in a different folder? (like using links or something)
[05:50] <DasEI> Huufarted: dotblank : works the other way round too, like a remark like mine in a support channel :D
[05:50] <dotblank> Huufarted: studying for my CCNA
[05:51] <Huufarted> dotblank, kudos to you.  I've heard Cisco certs are tough stuff.
[05:52] <dotblank> Huufarted: It took a CCENT but I thought it was harder then it was almost got 100%, but subnets are huge in it
[05:52] <Supermm> danbhfive: that didn't work either.
[05:53] <dotblank> Huufarted: OSPF, MPLS, Frame-relay, cdp, VTP, and trunking might explode this channel :)

[05:57] <Huufarted> tweak66, is 192.168.0.1 your router?
[05:57] <tweak66> huufarted:yes
[05:58] <dotblank> Huufarted: Whats an APICA address doing in there?
[05:58] <Huufarted> dotblank: I was wondering the same.  My wireless pulls that subnet when I screw up the connection encryption
[05:59] <dotblank> Huufarted: usually that address is only used if it can't find an address
[05:59] <Huufarted> dotblank, but mine's got it as well
[05:59] <dotblank> Huufarted: mine doesn't
[05:59] <Huufarted> dotblank, i have 2 NICs in mine, one does not have a connection.  That's probably why.
[05:59] <dotblank> Huufarted: wait yes I do
[05:59] <Huufarted> dotblank:  lol
[05:59] <cjae> what can I use to see if a specific app has memory leak?
[06:00] <dotblank> Huufarted: but that metric will make it never come into efect
[06:00] <Huufarted> dotblank, that's correct
[06:01] <dotblank> tweak66: do you have a firewall on that linux pc? or have you used iptables?
[06:01] <Huufarted> tweak66, I'm at a loss.  Your network settings themselves look good to go
[06:01] <tweak66> dotblank: nope
[06:01] <Huufarted> tweak66, dotblank, dieselsmoke, good night.  I'm out for tonight.  Tweak66, I apologize, but those are all of the ideas I have.
[06:01] <tweak66> thank you huu
[06:02] <dotblank> tweak66: do you have shorewal
[06:02] <tweak66> never heard of it dotblank
[06:02] <mkokotovich> Does anyone here know a lot about modprobe? Especially the process it uses to select which module to choose if there are two present?
[06:03] <tweak66> i really don't wanna try re-installing and get the same problem..
[06:03] <madhatter1> Hey everyone.. Sorry if this isnt allowed, but my friend is getting rid of a lot of servers in his datacenter and asked me to pass along the list to friends if they were interested.  http://maddhat.com/etc/forums/Server_Sale_March_2009.pdf   I was thinking of building a vmware lab with ubuntu distros running to test network security on one.. ive always wanted to try ubuntu on decent server equipment :-)
[06:03] <cjae> !leak
[06:03] <mkokotovich> I'm trying to use madwifi ath_pci, and modprobe keeps loading the kernel version, not my compiled one
[06:03] <Huufarted> !spam | madhatter1
[06:04] <dotblank> tweak66: hmm it must be iptables or somthing
[06:04] <tweak66> i don't know what those are lol
[06:04] <Cpudan80> anybody know how to set the mime type of a file?
[06:04] <StevenX> Hello, i would like to know how I can set up Ubuntu so that I can see my NTFS hard drive from boot-up. i can see it now only after I choose it in "Places," and then it is on for the entire time, but not before.
[06:05] <tweak66> dotblank: should i try and see if the ubuntu livecd boots and gives me internet access? i bet it does...
[06:05] <nickrud> !fstab | StevenX (you'd set it up in this file, so it mounts on boot)
[06:06] <niku> StevenX, the easiest way is to open up a file called the /etc/mtab and look for the line with the name of your ntfs drive. Copy this line and then paste it into the end of the /etc/fstab file. This will do it for you.
[06:06] <StevenX> niku, thank you very very much.
[06:06] <dotblank> tweak66: try running these commands "sudo iptables -F"
[06:06] <niku> np.
[06:07] <nickrud> StevenX, the only thing I'd say extra over niku is using the UUID instead of the /dev/<device> notation in the mount line
[06:07] <dotblank> tweak66: and h/o im building the next command
[06:07] <tweak66> dotblank: ok, i will brb
[06:07] <tweak66> o ok lol
[06:07] <boingboing> hello.
[06:07] <dft> !UUID|StevenX
[06:07] <StevenX> nickrud, and where would I be able to find the UUID?
[06:07] <dotblank> tweak66: wait
[06:07] <StevenX> hehe. thanks dft
[06:07] <nickrud> StevenX, see above :) and the fstab page has some info as well
[06:07] <dft> StevenX: nikrud is right about UUID'
[06:08] <dft> I use it with all my usb sticks
[06:08] <dft> much more reliable
[06:08] <kraut> moin
[06:08] <dotblank> tweak66: also run this 'sudo echo "auto eth0\niface eth0 inet dhcp" > /etc/networking/interfaces'
[06:08] <nickrud> but I'm going to try to remember that mtab advice, a nice quick way to get a default line
[06:08] <gishaust> Is the a ubuntu that  I can install on my two gig flash drive so I can run ubuntu  in virtual environment so that I do have to restart my windows machine at school
[06:09] <dotblank> tweak66: also come back with output from lsmod
[06:09] <boingboing> I'm using an Acer Aspire 5570 laptop that runs on Intrepid. I've installed wifi-radar on it and I can now detect wireless networks. The problem is, while I can connect to the network, I can't visit websites. Please help me. Thanks a lot!
[06:09] <StevenX> ok. I found the mtab with the line i need to add to fstab: "/dev/sda1 /media/disk fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0"
[06:09] <nickrud> !usb | gishaust
[06:09] <StevenX> Now i will replace "/dev/sda1" with the UUID.
[06:09] <dotblank> tweak66: thats all
[06:09] <gishaust> thanks alot
[06:09] <tweak66> dotblank: so just type lsmod?
[06:10] <dotblank> tweak66: or lsmod > textfile.txt if you want to save it
[06:10] <tweak66> ok brb
[06:12] <StevenX> nickrud, when adding to fstab (no worries, already made a backup), should I add "F224B35424B31B15 /media/disk fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0"
[06:12] <StevenX> or should I add UUID=F224B35424B31B15 /media/disk fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0
[06:13] <nickrud> StevenX, (backspacing) second version
[06:13] <StevenX> nickrud, sorry, what?
[06:13] <nickrud> the second line you gave, with UUID=
[06:13] <StevenX> StevenX, oh, got it. Thanks. didn't get the (backspacing)
[06:13] <StevenX> right.
[06:13] <StevenX> thanks agian. gonna restart see if it works.
[06:14] <StevenX> much thanks everyone that helped!
[06:14] <nickrud> StevenX, no restart needed
[06:14] <nickrud> StevenX, unmount it, then run    sudo mount -a
[06:15] <Guest42490> if i use non propriatory drivers for radeon and compiz video flickers anyone know why
[06:15] <Flynsarmy> After a while of my laptop being turned on, some programs no longer have sound. how do i restart pulseaudio? I tried sudo killall pulseaudio then pulseaudio but i get 'Operation not permitted'. Same if i tried sudo pulseaudio
[06:16] <paul68> is there a program that allows me to check which ports on the network are open?
[06:16] <unr3a1> hey all
[06:16] <Flynsarmy> Sudo pulseaudio returns 'Failed to find original dlopen loader. This program is not intended to be run as root. Error opening PCM deivce - device or resource busy
[06:16] <unr3a1> how do I edit a gnome menu item to run as sudo?
[06:17] <dieselsmoke> paul68: in a terminal, netstat -tunap
[06:17] <unr3a1> like what do I put in the command properties of the menu item so that it promts me for a root password to run the app as root?
[06:17] <dotblank> unr3a1: instead of sudo use gksu
[06:17] <unr3a1> ah
[06:17] <unr3a1> ok
[06:18] <sebsebseb> Guest42490:  ATI or Nivdia?
[06:18] <dotblank> sebsebseb: nvidia
[06:19] <dotblank> sebsebseb: whoops thought if you were asking wich is better
[06:19] <unr3a1> dotblank: thank you
[06:19] <unr3a1> dotblank: that worked for me
[06:19] <paul68> dieselsmoke: thanks perhaps you can help me with the next question to my boss is using a proxy server and blocked all ports, I had to ask him to get access to port 8001 for example to use konversation is there a way that I could use this port to connect through ssh?
[06:19] <tweak66> dotblank: http://pastebin.ca/1353322
[06:20] <dieselsmoke> paul68: not without the admin changing the default ssh port.
[06:20] <dotblank> tweak66: you seem to be running some form of nat
[06:20] <TruthTac1> what do i open a bin file in linux with
[06:20] <tweak66> nat?
[06:21] <tweak66> dotblank: nat?
[06:21] <dotblank> tweak66: Network Address Translation, its what routers use to allow mult. IP addresses on one public IP
[06:21] <dotblank> tweak66: do you have any form network sharing enabled?
[06:22] <tweak66> dotblank: nope i do not. if i do network share, it's ftp
[06:22] <quibbler> TruthTac1: make it executable and double click it
[06:22] <dieselsmoke> TruthTac1: chmod 755 filename.bin, then ./filename.bin  -all from the terminal in the bin's directory.
[06:23] <TruthTac1> thanks
[06:23] <dotblank> tweak66: This seems to be a common problem for shorewal users. that program seems to install those modules that use nat
[06:23] <dieselsmoke> TruthTac1: quibbler's will work too.
[06:23] <tweak66> dotblank:  hm... so what do i do? lol,, i find it strange that windows will accept it and linux will not
[06:24] <dotblank> tweak66: ok
[06:24] <dotblank> tweak66: two commands
[06:25] <dotblank> tweak66: sudo apt-get remove shorewall (if it removes somthing then that was the problem)
[06:25] <Unirgy> is there an app that tracks cpu processes/windows over time and gives some kind of report of what was used?
[06:25] <dotblank> tweak66: 'sudo echo -e "auto eth0\niface eth0 inet dhcp" > /etc/networking/interfaces' notice the "-e" forgot that last time
[06:25] <pl1> unirgy: top
[06:26] <Unirgy> pl1: that doesn't remember window title changes
[06:26] <pl1> oh..
[06:26] <Unirgy> i'm talking about something like procrastitracker
[06:26] <Unirgy> but it's for windows
[06:26] <dotblank> tweak66: if it removes shorewall then restart and it should all work
[06:27] <tweak66> dotblank: okay. i will do this. so this line just like that: sudo echo -e "auto eth0\niface eth0 inet dhcp" > /etc/networking/interfaces
[06:27] <dotblank> tweak66: yes
[06:27] <tweak66> dotblank: thank you. brb
[06:28] <paul68> dieselsmoke: the default port of ssh is port 22, the goal here is to go to my free adress at dyndns and use port 8001 to get connected to my pc at home however It doesn.t allow me to do so?
[06:28] <NDS|Brandon> wow, nice big channel
[06:28] <dotblank> NDS|Brandon: yup
[06:28] <dft> jeezuz, huge update just released for hardy
[06:29] <dft> NDS|Brandon: that's what she said...hey O!
[06:29] <NDS|Brandon> Can anyone tell me of any compatibily issues with a Dell Optiplex GX270
[06:29] <NDS|Brandon> I have tried three Linux Distros
[06:29] <NDS|Brandon> But non have worked
[06:29] <dft> where have they failed?
[06:29] <squarebracket> ls | if [ -h ]; then echo $(what goes here); fi;
[06:29] <NDS|Brandon> As tehy are starting up to the desktop
[06:29] <H3l1c0pt3r> NDS|Brandon: the other distros arent as user friendly as ubuntu
[06:30] <dotblank> NDS|Brandon: odd i ws going to try that tomorrow, i got a livecd of fedora to work though
[06:30] <NDS|Brandon> It was Mint and Fedora
[06:30] <NDS|Brandon> and they froze at the same place
[06:30] <dft> You'll probably have more luck with this distro
[06:30] <NDS|Brandon> it was like Sector 34564 or something
[06:30] <dft> during installation?
[06:30] <NDS|Brandon> Ok, Ill try this one too.
[06:30]  * NDS|Brandon hopes
[06:30] <dotblank> NDS|Brandon: the problem i had with fedora is that it was setting the res to high and has some issues with the gfx card
[06:30] <NDS|Brandon> No
[06:30] <H3l1c0pt3r> hdd failure?
[06:31] <NDS|Brandon> as it was booting, past the splash screen, but before the desktop
[06:31] <nihilist> cool
[06:31] <NDS|Brandon> No
[06:31] <NDS|Brandon> Its a good HDD
[06:31] <nihilist> i fixed the proglem with bprftpdp
[06:31] <nihilist> gproftpd
[06:31] <NDS|Brandon> errr, newbs terms?
[06:31] <nihilist> the problem was the lazy packet watcher didnt update to the actual package from the writer of the software
[06:32] <NDS|Brandon> :| still not helping
[06:32]  * NDS|Brandon wishes PC's came preinstalled with Linux
[06:32] <dft> NDS|Brandon: all "pnp" settings in the bios are disabled?
[06:32] <dft> NDS|Brandon: they do
[06:32] <H3l1c0pt3r> NDS|Brandon: they do, go to www.dell.com
[06:32] <NDS|Brandon> I think so
[06:33] <dft> Acer Aspire ONe, and flavours of Dell hw as well
[06:33] <NDS|Brandon> H3l1c0pt3r: I meant I wish they all did
[06:33] <H3l1c0pt3r> NDS|Brandon: that would never happen, linux is free and computer companies get money to have windows pre installed
[06:33] <NDS|Brandon> Its so much better than Windows :|
[06:33] <NDS|Brandon> I am allowed to wish :D
[06:33] <H3l1c0pt3r> glad you feel that way
[06:34] <dotblank> NDS|Brandon: your best bet is netbooks
[06:34] <DigitalKiwi> my laptop came with ubuntu
[06:34] <dotblank> DigitalKiwi: system76?
[06:34] <NDS|Brandon> I am going to try Ubuntu and if that doesnt work, I will be back :)
[06:34] <DigitalKiwi> dell xps m1530
[06:35] <DigitalKiwi> but i deleted it and installed arch \o/
[06:35] <NDS|Brandon> Hmmm.... My HDD wouldnt need free space for the Live CD would it?
[06:35] <dotblank> NDS|Brandon: no, but needs ram
[06:35] <H3l1c0pt3r> NDS|Brandon: live cd runs off the cd, the rest is just ram
[06:35] <NDS|Brandon> 1.5 GB of it
[06:35] <NDS|Brandon> So that should work :|
[06:36] <H3l1c0pt3r> right
[06:36] <H3l1c0pt3r> default linux needs less resources than windows to run
[06:36] <NDS|Brandon> And it still goes faster ^-^
[06:36] <DigitalKiwi> H3l1c0pt3r: wut?
[06:37] <DigitalKiwi> maybe default ubuntu...
[06:37] <dotblank> XP compared to ubuntu is unbelievable. Ubuntu is sooo much faster
[06:37] <NDS|Brandon> Ubuntu asks for 256
[06:37] <NDS|Brandon> XP asks for like 512
[06:37] <tweak66> dotblank: http://pastebin.com/m57ce6218
[06:37] <dotblank> tweak66: how goes?
[06:37] <tweak66> not good lol
[06:37] <dotblank> tweak66: :(
[06:38] <bigjagolo> i have a new 4gb ram 220gb hd laptop
[06:38] <dotblank> tweak66: the linux live cd shold work though
[06:38] <bigjagolo> whats the recommended swap siz ?
[06:38] <NDS|Brandon> 512
[06:38] <NDS|Brandon> mb
[06:38] <Cyrano_De> anyone ever see an 8.10 install that would not let you change password?
[06:38] <bigjagolo> really? someone told me about 5gb
[06:38] <tweak66> hm.. yeah it should. i wonder what the issue is.. :(
[06:38] <DigitalKiwi> are you planning to suspsend to disk?
[06:38] <nihilist> just type passwd
[06:39] <nihilist> sudo passwd or something
[06:39] <bigjagolo> DigitalKiwi: meaning hybernate etc?
[06:39] <DigitalKiwi> not etc but yes hibernate
[06:39] <bigjagolo> DigitalKiwi: then yes
[06:39] <dotblank> tweak66: some software is messing this up, don't know what
[06:39] <tweak66> dotblank:hm.. yeah it should. i wonder what the issue is.. :(
[06:39] <DigitalKiwi> then make it something over 4 gig
[06:39] <bigjagolo> k,  lucky number 7?
[06:39] <tweak66> hm.. should i re-install?
[06:39] <bigjagolo> 7gb ok ?
[06:40] <DigitalKiwi> 4.2-4.5 or something
[06:40] <dotblank> tweak66: yes, but make sure it wrks in live
[06:40] <Cyrano_De> when I type passwd and type my current password it imediatly returns with password changed but does not change it
[06:40] <bigjagolo> ok thanks
[06:40] <otg> kikuikyuj
[06:40] <otg> hgfgfbvdghbgh
[06:40] <Cyrano_De> sudo passwd username does the same.
[06:40] <tweak66> oaky i will do... :(:( let u know how it turns out
[06:40] <bazhang> otg, english here
[06:40] <otg> 78
[06:40] <dotblank> tweak66: I hate having to reinstall linux.. its such a rare event for me now
[06:42] <Cyrano_De> so I need to change my password as it has expired everywhere but the system will not allow it.
[06:42] <Myrtti> bigjagolo: swap size should be the atleast the same as your ram, if you plan to hibernate your computer
[06:42] <ubuntugeek> how do I retreve my menus ...they have disappeared Alt+F2 does'nt work
[06:42] <dotblank> ubuntugeek: are you using compiz?
[06:43] <ubuntugeek> no
[06:43] <dotblank> ubuntugeek: try logging back in with ctl+backspace
[06:43] <mike> flicker video and compix
[06:43] <Myrtti> bigjagolo: my rule of thumb: swap is double the amount of RAM up until 2G RAM, >2GB as much as RAM

[06:43] <Johnn``> how do i do this?
[06:44] <Johnn``> through apt-get?? aptitutde??
[06:44] <ubuntugeek> tried that didn't work either

[06:44] <Cyrano_De> at the login screen there will be a session menu.
[06:45] <Cyrano_De> select xfce from that and login
[06:45] <Johnn``> okay
[06:45] <Johnn``> right now
[06:45] <Johnn``> i have the login screen disabled
[06:45] <Johnn``> will it still work or do i need to reenable it?
[06:45] <Cyrano_De> gdm will ask if you want to make it default or just this once.
[06:46] <Johnn``> oh okay
[06:46] <Johnn``> i bet it would be easier to just renable the login right?
[06:46] <Cyrano_De> you need to reenable it.
[06:46] <Johnn``> okay then
[06:46] <dotblank> ubuntugeek: try this rm -r ~/.gconf/apps/panel/*
[06:46] <Cyrano_De> generally speaking auto logins should be avoided

[07:00] <IdentifyTarget> how can I use apt to install packages that have been updated but aren't in the repository?
[07:01] <quibbler> david__: maybe change your update server and try again

[07:04] <mreynold> Hey all.  I've been running 8.04 for a while, using mdadm + USB attached drives (raid-1).  I fixed a prior issue with the USB drives not spinning up in time by adding rootdelay=30 to my boot params.  After recently upgrading (I added 2 new drives, created a new array) and rebooting, it seems like rootdelay isn't waiting the requisite 30 seconds like it used (also upgraded my kernel).
[07:05] <mreynold> Has rootdelay been deprecated or is there another work-around I should be using?
[07:05] <SaLiFa> hey guys i need some help
[07:07] <michael> Hello, does anyone know of a way to easily make a single pdf from a folder of 300+ jpegs?
[07:07] <SaLiFa> i just installed ubuntu 8.10 - but i used to have ubuntu 7.04 before(which isnt upgradeable) - so i formatted the harddrive and installed 8.10 - but the problem is that the bootmanager wasnt installed with the 8.10 installation - so i cant choose which os i want to boot up - i would like to use the vista boot manager which is why i didnt install the ubuntu boot manager - so now whenever i start my comp it says the boot manager doesnt 
[07:07] <NDS|Brandon> Anyone have a website that lists the compatability?
[07:07] <bazhang> !hcl
[07:08] <NDS|Brandon> wow, only one OP
[07:08] <NDS|Brandon> and its a bot :D
[07:09] <DigitalKiwi> start doing stuff to get banned and see if your hypothesis stands true
[07:09] <Seveas> (it does not :))
[07:09] <SaLiFa> so.. can anyone help me out?
[07:09] <rww> NDS|Brandon: #ubuntu operators don't op themselves unless they're in the middle of doing op stuff. There are some here :)
[07:09] <Flannel> NDS|Brandon: That's freenode policy, by the way.
[07:10] <NDS|Brandon> oh
[07:10] <michael> SaLiFa what are the advantages of the vista boot manager vs grub?
[07:10]  * NDS|Brandon has been on quakenet to long
[07:10] <Seveas> SaLiFa, if you didn't install grub *anywhere*, you cannot boot ubuntu. The vista bootloader is only smart enough to start another bootloader, not a linux kernel
[07:10] <bohemian_> hello
[07:10] <bohemian_> i am installing the driver for my vga
[07:11] <bohemian_> but i get the ff error:  Error: cannot find header matching kernel version 2.6.27-11-generic
[07:11] <SaLiFa> i would just like one bootloder not 2 - so i didnt install grub - but... is there a way for me to install grub without having to completely reinstall ubuntu?
[07:11] <quibbler> !grub | SaLiFa
[07:11] <simplexio> SaLiFa: yes.
[07:11] <endial> Anyone in here play WoW on ubuntu by chance?
[07:11] <bohemian_> i use ubuntu 8.10 with the latest kernel upgrade installed
[07:11] <SaLiFa> okay so i need the live cd...
[07:12] <tarelerulz> I am working with dolphin the file manager and the one feature I liked about it was the tab feature  . It does not seem to have that anymore do any of you know how to get it back ?
[07:12] <kaushal> hi
[07:12] <bohemian_> what mus be the ptoblem with this error: Error: cannot find header matching kernel version 2.6.27-11-generic
[07:12] <kaushal> is there a way i can ping a particular request for half an hour
[07:12] <SaLiFa> i just downloaded the standard 8.10 installation cd - do i have to have the live cd to reinstall grub?
[07:12] <Seveas> bohemian_, the problem is that you're manually installing video drivers, which is only required in very rare cases
[07:12] <michael> I think you can install grub off the live cd without fully completing the install
[07:12] <michael> of ubuntu
[07:13] <quibbler> SaLiFa: yes
[07:13] <ArmedKing> What is the best replacement for VMware in buntu?
[07:13] <simplexio> SaLiFa: probably yes. you need a way to boot into linux
[07:13] <rww> ArmedKing: Virtualbox
[07:13] <NDS|Brandon> Micheal = MichealPW ?
[07:13] <SaLiFa> lool that sux - alright ill have to have my friend burn it - thx guys
[07:13] <ArmedKing> rww, thanks a lot for the quick response. I'll check it out right away
[07:14] <quibbler> !virtualbox
[07:14] <ZykoticK9> ArmedKing, be sure your getting VB 2.1
[07:14] <Seveas> ArmedKing, vmware :) (but yeah, virtualbox is decent too)
[07:14] <ArmedKing> Itś not for running Windows ;-) so i think Virtual box will do fine
[07:14] <bohemian_> Seveas: it's the only driver provided with the machine on linux option
[07:15] <ZykoticK9> ArmedKing, Windows (including 7) runs great in VB???
[07:15] <bohemian_> is this because the installer might be RPM package?
[07:15] <q0_0p> how do i get f7-f12 screens back
[07:15] <Seveas> bohemian_, ubuntu includes drivers for all video cards. Which card is it?
[07:15] <q0_0p> when pressing ctrl+alt f7
[07:15] <tarelerulz> armedking virtual box is great.  I would not recommend running yahoo messenger in it .  Voice will not work. It odn't fo me
[07:15] <LambdaGuy> Is there a trick to install Ubuntu on an Imac's USB external drive
[07:16] <sebsebseb> ZykoticK9: yeah it works quite well
[07:16] <ArmedKing> tarelerulz, Oke i will keep that in mind
[07:17] <bohemian_> Seveas: actually it's a Glaive POS, i need to install the agp driver properly so i can also install the touchscreen capability (w/c is also a problem as included driver are RPM packages only)
[07:19] <azlon> how can i make a file? i tried make and makefile
[07:19] <DVS01> touch
[07:19] <azlon> ah, thanks!
[07:19] <Rafase_282> Hello
[07:19] <Rafase_282> I'm having trouble installing some apps
[07:19] <grendal_prime> is there a touchpad control system like the macbook?
[07:19] <bohemian_> DVS01: you have an idea how to install touchkit on ubuntu?
[07:20] <Rafase_282> Failed to fetch http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/u/ucf/ucf_3.0011_all.deb  404 Not Found
[07:20] <Rafase_282> E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
[07:20] <DVS01> havent tried
[07:20] <grendal_prime> i forget what they call it
[07:20] <ZykoticK9> sebsebseb, ArmedKing the only thing that VirtualBox is REALLY missing, is a way to start VMs on boot, right now there is no way to do it in the program and the only init.d scripts I have tried using have all had some sort of difficulty or another... hopefully in the next version.
[07:20] <Rafase_282> apt-get install tightvncserver
[07:20] <rww> Rafase_282: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[07:20] <endial_> anyone play wow on ubuntu by chance?
[07:20] <SaLiFa> hey guys using this website : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub : im trying to restore grub - but at step 4 - i keep getting error 15: file not found - after trying /boot and /grub - what other folders could it be in?
[07:20] <Rafase_282> i'm using debian lenny
[07:20] <Rafase_282> from my phone
[07:20] <rww> Rafase_282: ask in #debian then. This channel is only for Ubuntu tech support.
[07:21] <ArmedKing> ZykoticK9, Yeah to be honest that would be great because i am running 2 screens.
[07:21] <bazhang> Rafase_282, then go to #debian
[07:21] <grendal_prime> Rafase_282: what phone?
[07:22] <ericstewart> I'm trying to build and install glibc 2.18.4 on ubuntu server 8.10. During make I get the following error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/126586/
[07:22] <ZykoticK9> ArmedKing, oh you could start a VM easily enough on Login, it's on bootup that it's more challenging - if you wanted it to start when you log in you could simply add an appropriate shortcut into Preferences / Session
[07:22] <Rafase_282> HTC Dream
[07:22] <paranoid_ndroid> why doesn't GNOME support window tiling?
[07:23] <quibbler> SaLiFa: /boot/grub
[07:24] <ArmedKing> ZykoticK9, Awsome!
[07:24] <Jello> Can anyone give me some quick help on ubuntu hardy server, setting up vsftpd?  I can connect to the server and it performs the list command, but there are no directories listed. (sorry if this is stupid, I'm new)
[07:24] <grendal_prime> ZykoticK9:  I think you need to lookinto headless setup
[07:25] <ZykoticK9> grendal_prime, yes that is requirement #1 (i've got several headless working great), it's the #2 adding it to init.d that becomes more tricky
[07:26] <mejobloggs> I'm VNCing to ubuntu from Windows, and the vnc window is really small. How do I make it bigger? Is it dependent on the resolution of ubuntu desktop?
[07:27] <jigp> hello how to upgrade skype 2.0 to 3?
[07:27] <simplexio> mejobloggs: i think it depends desktop resolution, but attleast tighvnc for windows had option to resize and zoom
[07:29] <q0_0p> im connected through wifi right now; is there a way i can share my internet connection through my ethernet?
[07:29] <mejobloggs> hm ok, I tried following a tutorial of changing screen res, and it didnt work (not on vnc or the ubuntu screen)
[07:30] <ZykoticK9> jigp, i don't think skype 3 is available for linux yet...
[07:30] <user296> my usb mouse is not recognised when I plug it in during a session. However, if I reboot or logout & log back in it works fine. does anyone know how to get ubuntu to rescan hardware manually?
[07:31] <simplexio> user296: sessions as X session
[07:32] <user296> simplexio: sorry, I don't understand. Could you explain more?
[07:33] <simplexio> user296: when you are that GrafigalUserInterface also know as X windowin system
[07:34] <user296> simplexio: yes ... I have the graphical interface. Just no mouse support unless I restart the session
[07:34] <ary> ae
[07:36] <simplexio> user296: my best quess is that you can fix problem adding all relevant mouse setup data into xorg.conf, problem probably is that X scans hardware and configures it at start
[07:37] <azlon> i am setting up ZSNES and a WiiMote
[07:37] <hechu> !repostory
[07:37] <hechu> !repository
[07:37] <azlon> i have them working together now, but I would like to create a file that runs the command to connect my wiimote, then when it is found launch zsnes... is that somewhat easy to do?
[07:38] <reisi> any ideas on how to install somehow recent java 6 *headless* on ubuntu server 8.04?
[07:39] <user296> simplexio: thanks
[07:40] <ZykoticK9> azlon you could run something like "<command to run wiimote> && zsnes" this would wait until wiimote command ran successfully then run zsnes, just a suggestion...
[07:41] <azlon> ZykoticK9: thanks, ill give it a shot
[07:41] <quibbler> user296: read this is a forum: Ubuntu doesn't detect new USB drive automatically. I did a couple of 'lsusb' from terminal and normally your new USB mouse shows on the 2nd lsusb. If you see the mouse on lsusb output, you'll be able to use it.
[07:42] <tsrk> I have two machines.  When I try to SSH from one to the other, the login is incredibly slow (takes about 5 seconds for the password prompt to appear).  When I SSH to any other machine it works fine.  When I ssh to the server from any other machine it works fine.  This problem only occurs with this combination of client and server.  What on earth could be causing this?
[07:43] <Seveas> tsrk, reverse dns slowness/failure
[07:43] <azlon> ZykoticK9: that didnt quite work because the wiimote command is running the whole time i am using the wiimote
[07:44] <ZykoticK9> azlon, ummmm, that's a little more complicated -- not sure man, good luck
[07:44] <hechu> tsrk, refer to here may helpful: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050329185832952
[07:44] <tsrk> Seveas, that's what i was thinking but why would it not happen with other machines on the network then?
[07:44] <azlon> ZykoticK9: when the controller connects it returns "Ready"... im sure that is in the programs and no way to recognize when its ready
[07:44] <hechu> tsrk, it's related with reverse DNS.
[07:44] <azlon> its cool, thanks
[07:44] <Seveas> tsrk, they might not be caring about it or have the info cached
[07:45] <p1oooop> hi, I need some help with m4
[07:45] <tsrk> hechu, Seveas, also i forgot to note that this used to work fine (immediately connect)
[07:45] <p1oooop> anyone?
[07:45] <tsrk> and the configurations on all the machines should be identical (i've made no changes)
[07:46] <ZykoticK9> azlon, perhaps you could work a "sleep X" into it?  like "command to run wiimote> & sleep 10 && zsnes" just adjust the sleep amount to be however long it takes to get the Wiimote "Ready"
[07:46] <quibbler> p1oooop: more info?
[07:46] <azlon> ZykoticK9: thanks!
[07:46] <p1oooop> quibbler: well, I installed m4 so I can use flex, but when installing flex, it says m4 isn't installed
[07:47] <Seveas> tsrk, when you login on that machine and do 'host ip.from.connecting.box', does that give info quickly?
[07:47] <StyleSheep> halp! everytime i start gnome-appearance-settings my X crashes
[07:47] <Seveas> StyleSheep, it's a conspiracy to make everyones desktop look the same and be unchangable :)
[07:48] <StyleSheep> doesnt matter if i go to System->Settings->Appearance or rightclick the desktop->Change Wallpaper...
[07:48] <Seveas> StyleSheep, that'll be part 2 of the plan ;)
[07:48] <tsrk> Seveas, no, it's an internal ip
[07:48] <ilovewendydarlin> ???
[07:48] <StyleSheep> Seveas, *lol* i didnt want to change anything, it just started today with an old theme
[07:48] <Seveas> tsrk, then add it to /etc/hosts and see if that helps?
[07:49] <StyleSheep> Seveas,  and i wanted to change it back
[07:49] <p1oooop> quibbler: you there?
[07:49] <StyleSheep> didnt find anything useful on google...
[07:49] <Seveas> StyleSheep, as you might guess, I have no clue what's going on there. Maybe there's something useful in your Xorg.0.log?
[07:49] <tsrk> Seveas, ok, i'll try that, but why would it only effect this one combination?
[07:49] <quibbler> p1oooop: how are you installing
[07:50] <alan> I am having trouble running apps from Ubuntu
[07:50] <p1oooop> quibbler: I did...
[07:50] <p1oooop> quibbler: and I tested, passed all tests
[07:50] <Seveas> p1oooop, did you install manually or from packages?
[07:50] <p1oooop> packages
[07:50] <alan> this happened right after I copied some files from a remote PC which has basically the same setup into my home directory
[07:50] <p1oooop> I don't trust muself
[07:50] <p1oooop> *myself
[07:51] <alan> the problem is with running pretty much anything under gnome
[07:51] <Seveas> apt-get install flex should work then
[07:51] <oneeyedelf1> anyone know how to increase the bandwidht of ekiga? I have 20mbps upstream that is being wasted
[07:51] <p1oooop> K
[07:51]  * Seveas out --> work
[07:51] <p1oooop> I wil
[07:51] <alan> seems like I clobbered some X Windows or Gnome files in my home directory
[07:51] <StyleSheep> Seveas, AUDIT: Thu Mar  5 08:45:28 2009: 7636 X: client 4 rejected from local host ( uid=1000 gid=1000 pid=7658 )
[07:51] <jumbers> Does anybody know if there's a way to make the touchpad on a notebook multitouch like the new Macbooks?
[07:52] <alan> can anybody help with this?
[07:52] <p1oooop> nope, apt-get flex doesnt work
[07:52] <StyleSheep> Seveas, there are four of these rows on the end of the file
[07:52] <reisi> can anyone explain the openjdk6-jre package numbering? ubuntu version is 6b11; java -version reports 1.6.0_0-b11, what does that b11 stand for?
[07:53] <quibbler> p1oooop: what errors?
[07:53] <tsrk> Seveas, well, i gotta say, that worked wonders
[07:53] <tsrk> but why??? i don't get it :P
[07:53] <p1oooop> quibbler: it says m4 isn't installed
[07:54] <simplexio> alan: easiest way to "fix" it it is remove .gnome* dirs and restart X session. but beware that "resets" all gnome settings etc...
[07:54] <quibbler> p1oooop: apt-get install m4
[07:55] <marinemuseet> anyone knows if there is a program for Ubuntu that is similar to Adobe Bridge?
[07:55] <p1oooop> quibbler: its working, thanks
[07:55] <ninja1234> How do i know if i have to restart after doing sudo aptitude safe-upgrade?
[07:55] <quibbler> p1oooop: fine
[07:55] <p1oooop> quibbler: do you know how to get flex?
[07:56] <quibbler> p1oooop: from synaptic
[07:56] <simplexio> marinemuseet: what adobe brifge does
[07:56] <mwjones18> what the fuck is this?
[07:56] <unop> !language | mwjones18
[07:56] <unop> p1oooop, you shouldn't need to restart unless something asks you to.
[07:57] <mwjones18> well explain what the eff is going on then
[07:57] <p1oooop> unop: thanks... I guess...
[07:57] <StyleSheep> Seveas, do you have another idea where i could find any info?
[07:57] <alan> again, today I rsync'ed from a remote PC into my local PC (both running Ubuntu 8.10) and after that I couldn't launch any apps under Gnome
[07:57] <marinemuseet> simplexio: a picture viewer program, where you can sort your pictures after quality. A bit similar to Picasa, but I need something which is a bit more advanced
[07:58] <marinemuseet> a picture viewer program, where you can sort your pictures after quality. A bit similar to Picasa, but I need something which is a bit more advanced
[07:58] <p1oooop> anyone know how much RAM ubuntu x32 supports?
[07:58] <quibbler> ninja1234: you shouldn't need to restart unless something asks you to.
[07:58] <ninja1234> Adobe Bridge: photo management for professionals
[07:58] <mwjones18> Balls? What the fuck is wrong with you people?
[07:58] <marinemuseet> it also has a lot of other functions, but it is the sort function i need now
[07:58] <simplexio> marinemuseet: cant help, picassa would have been my best quess, you can allways try use wine + adobe bridge
[07:59] <marinemuseet> simplexico
[07:59] <p1oooop> mwjones18: please, don't cuss
[07:59] <marinemuseet> simplexico: ???
[07:59] <tsrk> p1oooop, do you bean 32 bit ubuntu (x86)?
[07:59] <david__> terminal rules dont try and do updates from the update manager it blows
[07:59] <p1oooop> yup
[07:59] <mwjones18> fuck off
[07:59] <p1oooop> ...
[08:00] <quibbler> p1oooop: i believe to 4 gig
[08:00] <Myrtti> mwjones18: stop it, or be removed from the channel
[08:00] <tsrk> p1oooop, somewhere between 3 and 4 gig
[08:00] <tsrk> usually less than 3.5 from what i've heard
[08:00] <mejobloggs> mwjones18: are you going to provide something constructive, or are you just going to swear at everyone?
[08:00] <tsrk> (don't ask me why, i don't know)
[08:00] <mwjones18> It's like you are having you this ridiculous conversation but you won't explain what the fuck you are talking about
[08:01] <david__> lol
[08:01] <ary> ea
[08:01] <mwjones18> what the fuck is Ubuntu?
[08:01] <unop> gahh
[08:01] <mejobloggs> lol
[08:01] <Myrtti> mwjones18: did you have problems with your ubuntu?
[08:01] <mwjones18> I don't know what it is!

[08:02] <Myrtti> alan: ok, and?
[08:02] <Myrtti> !language | mwjones18
[08:02] <tsrk> mwjones18, this is not a "conversation", just a support channel
[08:02] <mejobloggs> mwj was just like... /join #random
[08:02] <alan> and after that, it seems I can't launch anything from Gnome anymore
[08:02] <sam_> how everyone doing
[08:03] <mwjones18> i know what the fuck it is
[08:03] <david__> use stars for swear words lol ****
[08:03] <alan> my guess is I clobbered some files in my home directory
[08:03] <Myrtti> mwjones18: please STOP the swearing
[08:03] <mwjones18> no
[08:03] <david__> then be kicked

[08:04] <david__> thank you
[08:04] <Myrtti> alan: did you copy something in /etc ?
[08:04] <Ranakah> alan maybe your /home is full?
[08:04] <alan> no, I only copied from home directory to home directory
[08:04] <alan> using rsynch -av
[08:04] <alan> on two nearly identical machines
[08:05] <alan> my session is still up and running...
[08:05] <quibbler> !enter | alan
[08:05] <alan> ok
[08:05] <Myrtti> alan: did you do it while you had graphical interface running on the target machine?
[08:05] <luisferrer> I am trying to gain access to some of the servers on MIRC in Ubuntu
[08:06] <Myrtti> luisferrer: with which client?
[08:06] <alan> hm... probably not; I don't see what my remote machine is running right now but perhaps somebody was using it
[08:07] <Flynsarmy> I can set my ip to static wth wireless but not with ethernet. any ideas why? I get network access but no internet
[08:07] <mejobloggs> how can i stop ubuntu-desktop from autostarting? I want it to just start in console thing
[08:07] <luisferrer> server 66.252.24.6
[08:07] <zhurai-tsuki> <luisferrer> server 66.252.24.6  <-- /server, not "server"
[08:08] <jtaji> mejobloggs: sudo update-rc.d gdm remove
[08:08] <alan> I guess I'll try to go find help elsewhere -- any suggestions?  I am still new to Ubuntu (but experienced with Linux)
[08:08] <alan> quit
[08:08] <ZykoticK9> mejobloggs, or perhaps "rc-update del xdm default" not sure about jtaji's command
[08:09] <mejobloggs> hmm ok. Someone suggested BUM but I can only seem to stop and start things from that
[08:09] <jtaji> ZykoticK9: there is no rc-update command, and gnome uses gdm
[08:09] <luisferrer> that is the way I use it but I have tried on this IRC because I use it to download
[08:09] <luisferrer> with MIRC
[08:10] <JoshuaRL> i need some help with kubuntu intrepid kde4.1.  im trying to decouple the dashboard from the desktop.  i cant figure out the first step.  where is the toolbox and how do i do that?  Im following this:  http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2008/09/howto-decoupling-dashboard-from-desktop.html
[08:10] <mejobloggs> jtaji: can you explain what the command doese? What's update-rc.d?
[08:10] <ZykoticK9> jtaji, my bad!  gentoo peaks through every once in a while, sorry mejobloggs
[08:10] <mejobloggs> all good :)
[08:11] <jtaji> mejobloggs: it removes the links in /etc/rc*.d/ to /etc/init.d/gdm to prevent it from auto starting
[08:11] <jtaji> mejobloggs: afterwards you can start it from console with /etc/init.d/gdm start, or use update-rc.d to re-add the symlinks
[08:13] <mejobloggs> mejobloggs@fatso:~$ sudo update-rc.d gdm remove -f
[08:13] <mejobloggs> update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/gdm exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force)
[08:13] <bullgard4> I have unstalled wget. Does curl provide a functionality beyound that of wget?
[08:13] <StyleSheep> anyone have an idea why my X crashes whenever i start gnome-appearance-settings?
[08:13] <jtaji> mejobloggs: oh yeah, use -f
[08:13] <mejobloggs> i tried
[08:13] <mejobloggs> put it in wrong place?
[08:13] <JoshuaRL> StyleSheep: have you tried it from the terminal?  if so, what was the error?
[08:14] <geirha> mejobloggs: yeah, put it between update-rc.d and gdm
[08:14] <jtaji> mejobloggs: yeah, it must come right after update-rc.d
[08:14] <mejobloggs> wicked, thanks guys
[08:14] <q0_0p> do i need a crossover cable to do internet sharing
[08:14] <q0_0p> im getting internet through wifi?
[08:14] <unop> q0_0p, yes if you connect one PC directly to another.
[08:15] <rotkeppchen> most ethernet adapters determine if the cable is crossover automatically ... so in most cases it won't matter
[08:15] <q0_0p> darn
[08:15] <geirha> q0_0p: either that or two regular cables and a hub/switch
[08:16] <q0_0p> ok
[08:16] <q0_0p> is this guide ok?

[08:19] <davidcramer> bash: /tmp/pear/cache/imagick-2.2.2/build/shtool: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: P -- whats this mean?
[08:19] <mejobloggs> is there a gui where i can manage my hdd's? I have a hdd not showing in 'Computer'
[08:19] <Flynsarmy> mejobloggs, gparted
[08:20] <davidcramer> grr happens everywhere, can't install any of the imagick packages through pecl -- I installed pecl with aptitude.. any ideas?
[08:20] <unop> davidcramer, what does this give you?  cat -et /tmp/pear/cache/imagick-2.2.2/build/shtool | head -n 1
[08:20] <JoshuaRL> mejobloggs: also, NTFS config tool can help
[08:20] <davidcramer> its #!/bin/sh$
[08:20] <unop> davidcramer,  readlink -f /bin/sh
[08:21] <davidcramer> : /bin/dash
[08:22] <unop> davidcramer, right, so how where you trying to start the script? bash is complaining there.
[08:22] <davidcramer> if I run sh <that file> I get some "Invalid command line" which seems to be thrown by that script purposely
[08:22] <davidcramer> its running it with pecl install imagick
[08:22] <davidcramer> or just executing the script with ./
[08:23] <davidcramer> the only time it appears to work right is when i do sh <script>
[08:23] <davidcramer> but which sh shows /bin/sh
[08:23]  * davidcramer is completely lost
[08:23] <Myrtti> davidcramer: if your script doesn't have hashbang in the beginning, you need to define it before running it
[08:23] <Myrtti> davidcramer: which you are doing with running it with sh
[08:23] <davidcramer> http://www.pastethat.com/NzpEg
[08:24] <davidcramer> its not my script, and it does have that (see above)

[08:24] <q0_0p> whats the difference between dhcp3-server and dhcp package?
[08:24] <SkyNetMaster> hi, can I pass a variable to alias?
[08:25] <unop> davidcramer, Error: invalid command line  sounds like you need to pass some arguments to the script
[08:25] <davidcramer> ya that ones obvious
[08:25] <davidcramer> but the reason i show that is because the other way of executing it has a diff result (the actual error)
[08:26] <unop> davidcramer,  ls -ld /tmp/pear/cache/imagick-2.2.2/build/shtool

[08:27] <unop> SkyNetMaster, you can't - you'll have to use a function instead.

[08:28] <bullgard4> I have installed wget. Does curl provide a functionality beyound that of wget?
[08:28] <davidcramer> im not sure if the latest aptitude upgrade did it or what (I just ran that before attempting to update this)
[08:28] <SkyNetMaster> unop, thanks! so I basically have write bash functions?
[08:28] <davidcramer> bullgard4, they are different and provide different functionality
[08:29] <davidcramer> curl has a lot of advanced stuff, wget is pretty much designed specifically for retrieving files
[08:29] <MrSunshine_> why do i not see the nick list in xchat in ubuntu ? :/
[08:29] <darph_nuts> man this wireless is so noisy
[08:29] <unop> SkyNetMaster, right.  function foo() { echo "you passed $@"; }  foo one two three;
[08:30] <darph_nuts> conky shows 180kB/s... transmission reports around 65kB/s
[08:30] <davidcramer> im gonna reboot my server -- that always works to fix bugs on other OS ;)
[08:30] <unop> davidcramer, I don't see why there is a problem - maybe it's something you should ask in #bash
[08:30] <SkyNetMaster> unop, thank you
[08:30] <bullgard4> davidcramer: Synaptic: "curl is a client to get files from servers using any of the supported protocols HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP."
[08:31] <davidcramer> bullgard4, it can also POST to forms and do a lot more complex stuff
[08:31] <davidcramer> if you just wanna dl files just use wget
[08:31] <quibbler> bullgard4: look here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/manual.html
[08:31] <davidcramer> ack i just realized how much crap i had running right after i hit enter on shutdown -r :)
[08:32] <mejobloggs> ok i just formated my hdd's as ext3, but they don't show up in 'Computer', how do i get them there?
[08:32] <xun911> hello, how can I turn of Compiz's window animation,shadow, etc... for certain programs, such as Photoshop CS2 running under wine?
[08:32] <ziroday> MrSunshine_: tried press ctrl+f7?
[08:32] <davidcramer> and that didnt solve it, too bad
[08:32] <ziroday> xun911: you would have to kill compiz, you can't turn it off for just one app
[08:34] <simplexio> mejobloggs: only non native hds appear there, ytou should define mount point to fstab for "new" partiotion and define default mount point
, i see. what about just "shadow" alone? I have used "!(title=mi_conky)" to disable my conky, can I just add to that?
[08:34] <bullgard4> quibbler: Thank you very much.
[08:34] <quibbler> bullgard4: you are welcome
[08:34] <bullgard4> davidcramer: ok.
[08:35] <ziroday> xun911: yes I guess, but I strongly doubt you will get any performance improvements. If you want to quickly turn compiz off and on you can use fusion-icon or you can write a wrapper so when you launch photoshop it kills compiz and when you close it restarts compiz

[08:36] <xun911> ziroday, ok i think i'll just elave it alone. just a thought because the windows are behaving a bit weird. thanks!
[08:37] <ziroday> xun911: no problem :)
[08:37] <eldenz> how do i install the nvidia driver that gives me the `nvidia' module?
[08:37] <ziroday> eldenz: using hardware manager?
[08:38] <JoshuaRL> eldenz: hardware drivers. just activate the suggested one
[08:38] <hechu> eldenz, use restricted driver.
[08:38] <jumbers> Does anybody know if there's a way to make the touchpad on a notebook multitouch like the new Macbooks?
[08:38] <eldenz> is there a way to do on console? i'm running fluxbox...
[08:38] <unop> J4zen, #sed
[08:39] <ziroday> eldenz: what version of ubuntu and what nvidia graphics card?
[08:39] <eldenz> 8.10, 9500gt
[08:39] <xun911> lately my laptop would just lose the ability to play sound every night when I leave it on. Does anyone how to restart it without rebooting?
[08:39] <ziroday> eldenz: gimme a sec
[08:39] <J4zen> thanks unop
[08:39] <ideka> whenever i compile the kernel using sudo make-kpkg --initr --append-to-version=-cust kernel_image kernel_headers, it recompiles the ENTIRE kernel. is there a way to make it so that it doesn't have to recompile all the object files?
[08:40] <ziroday> xun911: try restarting pulseaudio. I would find the pid with ps aux | grep pulseaudio and then do kill -9 <pid of pulseaudio> and then finally pulseaudio -D
[08:40] <xun911> or better, keep the sound working...
[08:40] <hechu> eldenz, here is some information maybe helpful: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[08:40] <stradade> hi all
[08:40] <hechu> hi
[08:40] <core4> cintia
[08:40] <ziroday> eldenz: you want the nvidia-glx-177 package
[08:40] <quibbler> xun911: you could try: sudo killall pulseaudio; sleep 5; sudo alsa force-reload
[08:40] <JoshuaRL> eldenz: i think nvidia-glx-180 should be good.  but I haven't tried installing this way
[08:41] <xun911> ziroday & quibbler, cool. I'll try that tomorrow morning. I did try "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-util restart" and that was useless...
[08:41] <ziroday> JoshuaRL: -180 doesn't exist in intrepid.
[08:42] <JoshuaRL> ziroday: it shows in apt-cache on mine
[08:42] <Certh> hi!
[08:42] <eldenz> ziroday, JoshuaRL, hechu, thanks :)
[08:42] <eldenz> ziroday, it does for me
[08:42] <ziroday> JoshuaRL: woops sorry, its in intrepid-updates :)
[08:42] <JoshuaRL> :p no prob ziroday
[08:42] <JoshuaRL> eldenz: if it doesnt get it, you'll want nvidia-settings too
[08:43] <eldenz> JoshuaRL, already got that :) was fiddling around yesterday with xinerama/twinview... thinking i already have the nvidia-glx installed but it looks like i haven't
[08:43] <xun911> ziroday, quibbler, is there any possible cause & fixes for this though? i would rather not restart the sound everyday if possible
[08:44] <styol> i've got a macbook air with a 10gig partition along with a swap partition with Ubuntu installed... after i installed it, it wanted to reboot, and now there appears to be no way to actually login to Ubuntu vs OSX... any ideas? holding down Option during boot only shows the main osx parition
[08:44] <ziroday> xun911: next time it happens try start totem from the console and play an audio file. Save any error messages that are printed out and we can help you more then :)
[08:44] <JoshuaRL> eldenz: cool.  it also works from CLI.  just look through man nvidia-settings if you want to look at it
[08:45] <xun911> ziroday, will do. thanks!
[08:45] <ziroday> xun911: it could be related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/191027
[08:45] <tac_> hi all, wanna ask if there is a good software to draw schemes
[08:46] <tac_> thanks
[08:46] <ziroday> tac_: schemes?
[08:46] <eldenz> how do i restart the X server.. seems like exiting the WM, then login again does not do that...
[08:46] <ziroday> eldenz: from the terminal its sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart
[08:47] <tac_> ziroday: :) like this http://live.gnome.org/GnomeKeyring/Architecture?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=gnome-keyring-architecture.png
[08:47] <xun911> ziroday, i don't know about totem but I when I tried to use last.fm, the error was something like "sound card is not detected" or something similar...
[08:47] <JoshuaRL> eldenz: restart X with ctrl+alt+backspace
[08:47] <strange> anyone here have expierence with lirc?
[08:47] <ziroday> xun911: try run it from totem
[08:47] <ziroday> tac_: possibly in inkscape?
[08:47] <xun911> ziroday, OK
[08:47] <JoshuaRL> ziroday: i keep steppin on ya  :)
[08:48] <ziroday> JoshuaRL: heh, no worries. Better two people :)
[08:49] <tac_> ziroday: Got what you mean :) nice
[08:49] <eldenz> JoshuaRL, thanks, it doesn't seem to load the updated xorg.conf ... it still loads the xorg.conf.failsafe (i think)
[08:49] <eldenz> well, i'm gonna reboot
[08:49] <JoshuaRL> eldenz: wait
[08:50] <JoshuaRL> with the new xorg (hardy and after) xorg.conf is seriously depreciated.  7.3 and higher doesnt pay a whole lot of attention to it, autoconfigs instead
[08:50] <JoshuaRL> so you may not see any changes, and it may not use a different xorg even
[08:50] <eldenz> oooh... i was wondering why it's so empty :x
[08:51] <eldenz> will try to configure twinview through nvidia-settings then, as i have the module now (hopefully) :)
[08:51] <styol> anybody have experience with dual booting osx with ubuntu? for some reason grub didnt get installed or something cause im not able to boot to the ubuntu partition..
[08:51] <JoshuaRL> eldenz: hope it works
[08:52] <shabda> I have a ubuntu server where I have root access, shell only, I created a ndew user as root. How do I give it superuser priviledges?

[08:53] <rww> shabda: sudo usermod -aG admin newUsernameGoesHere

[08:54] <rww> !vnc | Xanax09: Have you seen this page? It has pretty good instructions

[08:54] <shabda> rww: umm, I get a unknown group admin
[08:55] <JoshuaRL> styol: need help with that still?
[08:55] <styol> joshuaRL, yes indeedie
[08:56] <rww> shabda: heh, that's odd. You could add the user to the /etc/sudoers file, then. Use the "visudo" command (don't edit the sudoers file directly). There should be an entry in there already for root, just copy that (replacing "root" at the start of the line with the user's)
[08:56] <Certh1> hi
[08:56] <JoshuaRL> go to #ubuntuforums-beginners and ask a dude named LeAstrale.  he loves OSX and wants to help you :)
[08:56] <JoshuaRL> im in there too, and im a beginner team member
[08:56] <JoshuaRL> styol: ^^ that was for you
[08:57] <styol> JoshuaRL, 10 gig partition towards the beginning of the hard drive, 512 swap partition, ubuntu installed just fine, said lets reboot... reboot, boots into osx, like nothing ever happened... also i held down the option key during boot which gives you the options (normally) to boot from other partitions, drives, or network drives etc... and it wasnt there
[08:57] <shabda> rww: heh, I already edited the /etc/sudoers, but looks like it did the trick :)
[08:57] <styol> awesome
[08:57] <styol> thanks JoshuaRL
[08:57] <eldenz> anyone got a link to a howto dual monitor on 8.10?!

[09:00] <JoshuaRL> simion314: so am i
[09:00] <simion314> it mustg be a command that makes same thing
[09:00] <eldenz> JoshuaRL, i'm kinda lost as i said. i'm not supposed to edit xorg.conf files but all tools/howtos seem to use it so bleh
[09:00] <eldenz> JoshuaRL, the 'xinerama' package is installed, though
[09:00] <rww> eldenz: Why are you not supposed to edit xorg?
[09:01] <JoshuaRL> eldenz: yeah, the syntax changed and xorg sometimes doesnt even listen right anyway.  id suggest you didnt
[09:01] <eldenz> 0950.18 <JoshuaRL> with the new xorg (hardy and after) xorg.conf is seriously depreciated.  7.3 and higher doesnt pay a whole lot of attention to it, autoconfigs instead
[09:01] <bullgard4> Um 10.10 Uhr gibt es im Deutschlandfunk eine Sendung zum Thema "Mobiles Internet" direkt von der c-bit.
[09:01] <eldenz> bullgard4, ok
[09:01] <ziroday> !de | bullgard4
[09:01] <rww> eldenz, JoshuaRL: That's not really true. xorg.conf isn't deprecated, and settings put into it override xorg's autodetection.
[09:02] <JoshuaRL> rww: the syntax is changed, so all the old howtos are hit and miss now.  and even then, 7.3+ pays more attention to its own autodetection
[09:03] <eldenz> JoshuaRL, well i have an xorg.conf base that i use on gentoo... so i guess gentoo comes probably with a newer xorg version i guess
[09:04] <rww> JoshuaRL: Heh. I added a bunch of stuff to my Device section the other day in Xorg 7.4. Worked fine for me. But yeah, the syntax of some stuff has changed over the years.
[09:04] <Slayer> How can i find out whether drivers for my devices are properly insralled?

[09:12] <hector_2009> I hate windows
[09:12] <ActionParsnip> hector_2009: back to windows or back to ubuntu?
[09:12] <Vigo> chazco: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[09:12] <chazco> ActionParsnip - Install it from scratch i mean... 8.04 and up dont support my wifi properly :(
[09:12] <ActionParsnip> i see
[09:12] <JoshuaRL> heh, that answers that
[09:13] <ActionParsnip> chazco: then download the iso and reinstall
[09:13] <Vigo> chazco: get a good one and check the MD5 , no matter what.
[09:14] <hector_2009> How do I turn off the joined message on this thing
[09:14]  * ActionParsnip wishes people would md5 check stuff
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> hector_2009: what client?
[09:15] <chazco> Vigo / ActionParsnip - I do check the MD5... and it often doesnt match - thats why i'm after a reliable download location...
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> chazco: the source isnt the thing thats not reliable
[09:15] <Vigo> chazco: The link I gave is the official Canonical site.
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> chazco: the data got mangled in transmission
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> chazco: its not that the file hosted is incorrect
[09:16] <Vigo> That can happen also
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> chazco: thats why MD5ing is so hugely critical
[09:17] <chazco> Vigo / ActionParsnip - Yep, agreed on all points. Just helps to eliminate the server from the possible problem areas
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> but unfortunately most morons just burn the iso without checking then moan they wasted a cd when the image they have is bad
[09:17] <JoshuaRL> ActionParsnip: HEY! ive done that myself :/
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> chazco: use the official sources or the official torrent
[09:17] <JoshuaRL> chazco: use the torrent if you feel comfortable.  it eases server load
[09:17] <mejobloggs> I've put this in my fstab, but the hdd's aren't showing in 'Computer' even after a restart. I also tried sudo mount -a. What am i doing wrong?
[09:18] <mejobloggs> /dev/sda1 /mnt/filestore1 ext3 defaults 0 0
[09:18] <mejobloggs> /dev/sdc1 /mnt/backupstore1 ext3 defaults 0 0
[09:18] <rww> mejobloggs: partitions in fstab aren't mounted automatically by default. you need to add "auto" to the options column for each partition for that (options column is the one after "ext3")
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> mejobloggs: do the folders you specified in fstab exist in /mnt?
[09:19] <knoppix> list
[09:19] <mejobloggs> yep folders exist
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> mejobloggs: re what rww said: change  defaults   to     auto,defaults
[09:20] <rww> or "defaults,auto". Dunno if it makes a difference.
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> rww: cant see it making a difference really
[09:21] <joe__> Hey how on earth do i command the visudo program? i run visudo and sweet yeah im in, but i cant edit anything and i cant bloody close it lol?
[09:21] <joe__> anyone?
[09:21] <knoppix> ?
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> !info visudo
[09:21] <rww> joe__: I guess visudo's actually using vi, huh. Close it by pressing [Esc], then :, then q, then !, then [Enter].
[09:21] <mejobloggs> then sudo mount -a ?
[09:21] <joe__> oh ok, so how do i edit within visudo?
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> joe__: is this some vi variant?
[09:22] <rww> joe__: then do "export EDITOR=nano" in the command-line, and try visudo again. It should open in a more sane editor.
[09:22] <joe__> nah man, esc wont close visudo
[09:22] <joe__> ah ok
[09:22] <jtaji> joe__: it's vi, but you could change it to using nano by selecting nano with: sudo update-alternatives --config editor
[09:22] <osubuck> Hi, im unable to change my westinghouse lcd monitor to any other resolution but 640x480, the default and optimal is 1440x900
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> rww: nano is much nicer imho too
[09:22] <osubuck> doesn't matter which OS i choose, it still only defaults to that small resolution
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> osubuck: have you installed vdeo drivers?
[09:22] <osubuck> yes
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> osubuck: have you configured them?
[09:23] <osubuck> and they were installed successfully
[09:23] <rww> ActionParsnip: visudo lets you edit /etc/sudoers, and does checking before saving changes. It uses vi by default, or whatever the EDITOR variable (or is it some alternatives setting...) specifies.
[09:23] <osubuck> ActionParsnip: my monitor isn't being detected anymore
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> rww: oic
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> osubuck: what video card do you use?
[09:23] <osubuck> it used to be detected.... is that a hardware problem?
[09:23] <joe__> nah man that wont work either
[09:23] <joe__> its driving me nuts
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> rww: thanks :)
[09:23] <osubuck> nvidia 173
[09:24] <joe__> i done: "export EDITOR=nano visudo" and nothing happend
[09:24] <osubuck> but like i said, it now defaults to that resolution no matter which distro it is
[09:24] <joe__> so i opend up visudo again, and i cant do anything lol
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> osubuck: have you tried running sudo nvidia-xconfig   and restarting x
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> osubuck: then run  gksudo nvidia-settings
[09:24] <osubuck> yup
[09:24] <mejobloggs> I did '/dev/sda1	/mnt/filestore1	ext3	auto,defaults	0	0' then 'sudo mount -a' and it didnt work
[09:24] <osubuck> doesn't detect my resolution
[09:24] <mejobloggs> also tried defaults,auto
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> osubuck: can you pick something like 1024x768?
[09:24] <osubuck> no
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> osubuck: what is the output of lspci | grep -i vga
[09:25] <osubuck> i need to sign into that computer
[09:25] <osubuck> so i'll brb on there, with the huge window open lol
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> you can run it via ssh if you want ;)
[09:26] <rww> joe__: sorry about that, I misremembered. Close out of visudo, do "sudo update-alternatives --config editor" and pick an editor you can use at the prompt (try nano). Visudo should honor that setting.
[09:26] <osubuck> alright back, what was that command?
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> osubuck: lspci | grep -i vga
[09:27] <joe__> this is nuts, wtf is up with that?
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> osubuck: if you install openssh-server you can run it all remotely
[09:27] <joe__> i cant do shit with visudo, what retard invented that?
[09:27] <rww> !ohmy | joe__
[09:27] <osubuck> ActionParsnip: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1)
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> joe__: keep it clean
[09:28] <joe__> i cant even exit it
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> osubuck: and what is the output or: lsb_release -c
[09:28] <rww> joe__: I already told you how, dude. Press [Esc], press :, press q, press !, press [Enter]
[09:28] <joe__> i did ffs
[09:29] <joe__> and it doesnt do anything
[09:29] <joe__> i press esc, then press :, then press w, or q, and nothing..
[09:29] <osubuck> ActionParsnip: Codename:	felicia
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> huh
[09:29] <joe__> stupid program is stupid tbh
[09:29] <osubuck> thats what that command says
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> !felicia
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> osubuck: interesting, let me websearch
[09:29] <osubuck> this is linux mint
[09:30] <osubuck> not ubuntu
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> !mint
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> !mintsupport
[09:30] <osubuck> same thing happens on ubuntu
[09:30] <joe__> ok, :w says "wrote x amount of lines", yeah ok, but how do i actually edit it? omfg lol
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> osubuck: in ubuntu i'd try the nvidia-glx-96 driver
[09:30] <OngaVezirKe> Hozsanna brotha'z
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> joe__: that output is telling you it wrote teh file to the disk
[09:31] <osubuck> well it used to work all the time with no problem, so i think its a hardware issue of some kind, could it be the cable?
[09:31] <joe__> one of these programs designed for 11 year olds so they can appear l33t in front of there mates or something
[09:31] <joe__> yeah but i cant actually edit it
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> osubuck: if you get any sort of display, the cable is fine
[09:31] <joe__> sure great it writes it ot the disk fine, but i want to at least be able to edit it
[09:31] <OngaVezirKe> I am hungarian, not tourist here
[09:31] <osubuck> perhaps a bios problem then? because no matter which distro i choose, i get the same problem now
[09:31] <jtaji> joe__: I gave you an update-alternatives command for changing that to an easier editor
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> joe__: what if you simply close the terminal
[09:32] <|Tommy|> ciaoo
[09:32] <rww> joe__: Please stop insulting software packages. They're not sentient enough to fight back, and you're just wasting your time.
[09:32] <|Tommy|> !list
[09:32] <OngaVezirKe> basszátok meg micsoda csapat
[09:32] <rww> !hu | OngaVezirKe
[09:32] <joe__> ok, so whats :e then? is that "let me edit" or what?
[09:32] <joe__> which one is edit lol
[09:32] <quibbler> joe__: a good begin is: man visudo
[09:33] <jtaji> joe__: learning vi is not for the impatient
[09:33] <joe__> so is it that hard just to bloody edit and save something? why?? lol
[09:34] <joe__> man visudo, garbage mate, i want to something simple here, not learn computer forensics
[09:35] <ActionParsnip> joe__: try websearching instead of wasting time ranting (ranting doesnt fix any issue)
[09:35] <eldenz> how do i circumvent that the x server is automatically started for the login screen? i just want a terminal upon boot
[09:35] <joe__> the only thing thats working is :wq
[09:35] <joe__> what a load of shit lol
[09:35] <jtaji> eldenz: sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> oooh nice
[09:36] <quibbler> joe__: then you should not use visudo...you do it wrong and you can cause yourself all kinds of grief.
[09:36] <eldenz> jtaji, i don't get a console in the first place... seems my xorg.conf is fubar and both screens turn off as soon as xorg starts
[09:37] <eldenz> ubuntu is awesome... i feel like i'm using windows where the GUi stuff hinders all my problem debugging :)
[09:37] <Myrtti> eldenz: you could reboot to single user mode and disable the gdm there
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> eldenz: glad you like it
[09:37] <jussi01> eldenz: tried swithching to a tty? ctrl+alt+f3
[09:38] <eldenz> jussi01, <3
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> couldnt s/he add a menu.list option to only boot to command line mode

[09:40] <B|ackPanther> I just download a file using the msdn client and the iso fiel has been downloaded to C:\temp but there is no such folder in my computer cause am running just ubuntu.How can i locate where the file is  ?
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> B|ackPanther: you need to mount your windows partition
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> B|ackPanther: sudo fdisk -l will show you the partition names and file system
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> !ntfs-3g
[09:42] <jtaji> using wine B|ackPanther ?
[09:43] <B|ackPanther> jtaji,i want to install vista cause there are some programs from uni i cannot run in ubuntu.So the MSDN thing only saves the files in C: directory.
[09:44] <B|ackPanther> Am not using wine
[09:45] <toddoon> hi, in which files can i set booting process?
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> B|ackPanther: linux doesnt have a C:  it has devices and mount points, if you downloaded a file in windows you need to mount your windows partition. If you used the msdn client via wine then the file will be in ~/.wine/drive_c/temp
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> !bum | toddoon
[09:46] <osubuck> ok im in ubuntu now ActionParsnip its still the same
[09:47] <osubuck> its detecting it as 4:3 rather than 16.9
[09:48] <osubuck> is there a command to prope for your monitor?
[09:48] <osubuck> probe

[09:57] <rhythmsoup> Hi folks, i have two PCs, both running 8.04, one has kubuntu, one has ubuntu, in the KDE one, knetwork manager manages to connect to a friends wireless network just fine, in the Gnome based one network manager just wont connect. how can i find out the type of encryption used in knetwork manager for this wireless network?
[09:58] <quibbler> william-1234: system-preferences-sessions  add to startup
[09:58] <william-1234> Thanks, quibbler. What do I put for "command line"?

[10:06] <darXbuntu> anyone here have prob with jaunty n nvidia graphic?
[10:06] <abs> My problem is IES4Linux isnt installing properly on the developmental release
[10:06] <ikonia> darXbuntu: #ubuntu+1 is the correct channel
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> abs: uninstall wine completely, remove the development versions repo then install the stable
[10:07] <darXbuntu> ok..thanx
[10:07] <ikonia> abs: contact the IE for linux developers as it's a.) a development release of ubuntu b.) a package that's not packaged by ubuntu
[10:07] <sleepy_cat> thanks quibbler

[10:07] <rhythmsoup> Hi can anyone help with a question on the differences in knetwork manager and gnome network manager?
[10:08] <vanksi> how do i force verbose mode on every boot using grub? just by changing both of the 'quiet's to 'verbose' in menu.lst
[10:09] <rhythmsoup> It seems Knetwork manager offers WEP 40/104 bit nex and ASCII but Gnome network manager does not?
[10:09] <abs> thanks ActionParsnip , ikonia
[10:09] <buckethed> i am only able to boot if i remove the 2nd hard drive.  http://rafb.net/p/7anKk543.html  so i'm thinking it has something to do with that 7M space on my 2nd hard drive.  what can i do?
[10:10] <strebor> rhythmsoup: do you mean this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/269534
[10:10] <william-1234> It autostarted QuickSynergy but I would like it to auto-connect to my mac (on the local network). I am happy for it to run a process in the background rather than use QuickSynergy. Any ideas?
[10:12] <rhythmsoup> strebor: i dont think thats the same
[10:12] <rhythmsoup> my KDE based machine can connect to a friends network ok but my Gnome machine cannot, both machines are running 8.04
[10:13] <strebor> rhythmsoup: ok, nevermind then
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> rhythmsoup: are they using identical network cards?
[10:14] <darXbuntu> anyone here usig ubuntu as server?haw the perf?
[10:14] <darXbuntu> *how
[10:15] <rhythmsoup> ActionParsnip: no they are not
[10:15] <beli> darXbuntu: what other servers did you run before?
[10:15] <william-1234> Any ideas?
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> rhythmsoup: then the comparison is moot between the DEs
[10:15] <rhythmsoup> ActionParsnip: ok i see, that makes sense, so its most likely the driver
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> rhythmsoup: it they had identical network hardware and one worked in gnome and the other didnt work in kde, then that is a good comparison
[10:16] <rhythmsoup> ActionParsnip: is there a good way to see what my network card would support?
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> rhythmsoup: yep, you got it. run lspci and lsusb in the one thats bad and you can use the info to find out how to set it up
[10:17] <darXbuntu> before this i ran windows.but i think to switch to ubuntu,but in server enviroment,ubuntu is not so popular,not like fedora or redhat
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> rhythmsoup: also run ifconfig to see if it has an ip, if its using wired connection then make sure you have flashing data lights on the network sockets on the system and the interconnection device
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> darXbuntu: so what if its not "as popular" as redhat
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> darXbuntu: doesnt make it any better or worse
[10:18] <beli> darXbuntu: what are your needs? what services are you going to run on it? ...for how many ppl?
[10:18] <beli> darXbuntu: its a linux server....it scales like any other linux...remember: they are all distributions....its all linux
[10:18] <rhythmsoup> ActionParsnip: thanks :)
[10:19] <com-5> And_
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> darXbuntu: linux wasnt this popular, say 10 years ago but it was still there and was still used by users
[10:19] <darXbuntu> ok.thanx.maybe i should switch tomorrow
[10:20] <beli> darXbuntu: it all depends on your needs....tell me how many ppl you want to server with what services....and on what hardware
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> darXbuntu: if windows suits your needs and you are happy with it then keep it, you could install ubuntu to a usb stick and give it a whirl, see what you think

[10:30] <ActionParsnip> jigp: are you a member of vbox and did you log of and on to make the membership active?

[10:30] <BlackDex> Hello there

[10:31] <jigp> ActionParsnip:  so I will remove the virtualbox ose?
[10:31] <BlackDex> it has home folders per samba/unix login
[10:31] <Bhavik> how am i install and run the Foxpro 2.6 in ubuntu ltsp server ???
[10:31] <BlackDex> If i login through a windows computer i see my home folder
[10:31] <BlackDex> but on Ubuntu i don't
[10:32] <Bhavik> how am i install and run the Foxpro 2.6 in ubuntu ltsp server ???
[10:32] <BlackDex> how can i force a login when i do smb://server
[10:32] <jigp> ActionParsnip : I want to install xp pro. not ubuntu.
[10:32] <Bhavik> how am i install and run the Foxpro 2.6 in ubuntu ltsp server ???
[10:33] <rww> !repeat > Bhavik
[10:34] <spoonyFTS> blackdex: Have you tried doing a "File/Connect To Server " and choosing windows share in nautilus?
[10:34] <spoonyFTS> blackdex: you can specify other details in there, and use your local linux server name in there too
[10:34] <BlackDex> aha
[10:35] <BlackDex> that i never knew :$
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> jigp: are you installing vbox on ubuntu or windows
[10:35] <spoonyFTS> blackdex: Hope it helps :)
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> jigp: what OS is the host machine?
[10:35] <BlackDex> spoonyFTS: Can't fill in a password
[10:36] <jigp> ActionParsnip : im running ubuntu 8.04 gnome and I want to install xp pro in vbox ose but I have problem installing and that I gave tou the pastebiin
[10:36] <gluonman> I just wrote a C program in Ubuntu and I used g++ (name of program) -o (new name of program). But I named the executable of the original .c file the same as the original .c file. Now I can't view the code using cat, vim, or gedit. It's not readable by gedit. What do I do to see my code?
[10:36] <FloodBot2> !netsplit
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> jigp: well untill you can get virtualbox actually running, the OS of the guest system is the least of your worry
[10:37] <jigp> ActionParsnip and this is the problem
[10:37] <jigp> http://pastebin.com/m73d12b6e
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> jigp: you need to follow that guide to set up vbox first, then you can install whatever guest systems you like. The fact that it doesnt run means its not setup correctly, so you need to follow the guide I gave you to set it up correctly
[10:38] <spoonyFTS> blackdex: looking at it now.. It should prompt you if it requires one but I just tested and it automatically authenticates too. must be a way to specify something different. looking.
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> gluonman: so you ran gcc code.c -o code.c  or something similar?
[10:40] <gluonman> ActionParsnip, yes
[10:40] <gluonman> unfortunately.
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> gluonman: oh boy
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> gluonman: if yuo run ls -a you may see a similarly named file with a ~ on the end
[10:40] <gluonman> ActionParsnip, anyway to view that code again? I can't stand the idea of having to retype all of that.
[10:40] <gluonman> ActionParsnip, I'll try that.
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> gluonman: not if you overwrote the code file with the outputted binary using the same name
[10:41] <gluonman> ActionParsnip, I hope I didn't.
[10:42] <gluonman> ActionParsnip, no hidden files. So there's no way to use the file I wrote and somehow see the code I wrote?
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> gluonman: you can decompile the binary but the exact code wont come out
[10:42] <gluonman> ActionParsnip, if I can salvage some of it, filling it in won't be too hard.
[10:43] <gluonman> ActionParsnip, how do I decompile it?
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> !decompile
[10:44] <foul_owl> Has anyone had the problem of having Nvidia drivers being installed, and apparently working, but no direct rendering?
[10:44] <spoonyFTS> blackdex: Ive seen a few references to nautilus having a bug to do with smb authentication
[10:44] <spoonyFTS> blackdex: status is confirmed so not sure if its still around the bug..
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> !info dcc
[10:45] <spoonyFTS> err status is unconfirmed i mean
[10:45] <gluonman> ActionParsnip, I think gdb is the way to do it.
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> gluonman: http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~cristina/dcc.html
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> gluonman: there will be a few apps for it
[10:45] <spoonyFTS> blackdex: see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=520551
[10:46] <spoonyFTS> blackdex: not sure if its the same issue
[10:46] <gluonman> ActionParsnip, thanks.

[11:28] <TheSlayer> Why do i always get the "This nickname is registered" messages here?
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> !ics
[11:30] <glitsj16> TheSlayer: means someone else registered that nickname on irc.freenode.net ...
[11:30] <TheSlayer> glitsj16: I have already tried three of them. LegendaryDarkKnight (which was shortened to LegendaryDarkKni for some reason), Slayer, and TheSlayer
[11:30] <FaMott|Sleeps> !X
[11:31] <blip-> hi all,   I installed a package called matplotlib documentation from the hardy repos.  any idea where I can find the actual docs I just installed ?   thanks
[11:32] <glitsj16> TheSlayer: nothing much you can do except try another one you like that isn't allready registered i suppose
[11:32] <TheSlayer> glitsj16: Why should i? I can talk with this one as well xD
[11:32] <TheSlayer> Allright whatever. We got kinda offtopic.
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> blip-: try: man matplotlib
[11:33] <DJones> TheSlayer: It might be worth you joining the freenode admin channel #freenode and asking there about help registering a nickname that you want
[11:33] <blip-> ActionParsnip: there isn't a manpage for it.
[11:34] <TheSlayer> DJones: K, thanks. Will do later... Can u explain me when does the name change? I know that there are tons of these, and that 8.10 is Interpid Ibex
[11:34] <blip-> ActionParsnip: this is what i installed http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/
[11:34] <blip-> *   http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> blip-: then the developers site should have some documentation, it is just a lib and not an app as such
[11:34] <NativeAngels> ActionParsnip i got unknown host when i did ping
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> blip-: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/contents.html
[11:34] <blip-> ActionParsnip: hmm, yes they have docs online but the ubuntu version is quite a bit older so I'm not sure if it may be different
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> NativeAngels: can you ping ip addresses? try pinging 38.99.130.180
[11:35] <DJones> TheSlayer: Ubuntu gets updated every 6 months, the next version is due in April and will be 9.04 Jaunty Jakelope
[11:35] <blip-> on hardy i have 0.91
[11:35] <blip-> cur ver is 98
[11:35] <FaMott|Sleeps> !upgrade
[11:35] <TheSlayer> DJones: Do i have to update, or can i keep Interpid Ibex?
[11:36] <FaMott|Sleeps> Ubottu! UsefuL!
[11:36] <FaMott|Sleeps> ...
[11:36] <itai_michaelson> whats the name of the package with all the extra codecs and stuff - ubuntu-restricted-extras or something? (on interepid)
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> blip-: is 0.91 not working for you?
[11:36] <TheSlayer> ubottu is a robot, FaMott|Sleeps, giving him UsefuL! is same as trying to "man UsefuL!"
[11:38] <blip-> ActionParsnip: it is, but I mean the documentation on the website if for 0.98 so it will be different from 0.91.   I don't understand why the docs I installed are not on the machine.  shall I search for matplotlib in root ?
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> blip-: you could try: sudo find / -name matplo*
[11:38] <DJones> TheSlayer: You don't have to update, you can stick with Intrepid, but that will stop getting security updates in April 2010, plus the 6 monthly updates normally include updated versions of software which will have been released since 8.10 eg open office 3 which isn't available by default, if you wanted to keep getting security updates, you'd need to upgrade by April 2010 anyway
[11:39] <NativeAngels> yes ActionParsnip
[11:39] <TheSlayer> DJones: OMG... I mean, i setup Interpid like i like it, and if i need to re-install the os, then i will lose all the settings
[11:40] <FaMott|Sleeps> is 9.04 the next LTS or?
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> NativeAngels: then your dns servers that you are using are not working
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> NativeAngels: or are down
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> NativeAngels: or dont exist
[11:40] <DJones> TheSlayer: YOu shouldn't lose your settings if you use the update procedure, its only when you do a fresh install that you'd normally lose things
[11:40] <damaltor> hi everybody, i wat to install xfce parallel to kde so i can choose before login. is it enough to just install the package xfce4? or do i have to configure something else?

[11:41] <NativeAngels> but i have set up a binddns server on my linux box ActionParsnip
[11:41] <max82fr> Hi guys
[11:41] <TheSlayer> max82fr: Hello.
[11:41] <max82fr> I need help on getting rid of Ubuntu and re installing Windows instead
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> NativeAngels: it may be interfering
[11:41] <NativeAngels> as per this tutorial http://ulyssesonline.com/2007/11/07/how-to-setup-a-dns-server-in-ubuntu/
 Hi
can u help?
[11:41] <damaltor> max82fr: put your win disk in, and tell the setup to use whole hdd. thats it.
[11:42] <davygrvy> Hi, having problems with the alternate installer running in low memory mode.  I can boot the CD_ROM from floppy with SBM, but once the installer kernel loads it bombs on step 3 "detecting and mounting cd-rom" and asks me for a "driver floppy".  What's a driver floppy and how do I make it?
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> max82fr: ##windows will help you reinstall, just delete the partitions of rlinux and you can reinstall on the drive
[11:42] <TheSlayer> max82fr: heh... Why don't u like the Ubuntu? Anyhow... Yeah. Besides, u will have to format the hard drive.
[11:42] <DJones> !upgrade | TheSlayer Have a look at the info in ubottu's database, that should help you
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> max82fr: make sure you backup any data on the partitions before you begin
  it wouldn t start from the cd
[11:42] <max82fr> been told I needed to install a bootloader or something before???
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> max82fr: check in bios to make sure cd is first boot device then internal hard drive
[11:43] <damaltor> max82fr: then you got some non-bootable disk from the net, or you misconfigured your startup sequence in bios. try pressing Esc or F12 while starting to choose the disc.
that s the thing. Ihave a Vaio laptop. Bios is protected by password, never given
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> max82fr: there may be a key you can press to select boot device
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> max82fr: like f13 or f11 like damaltor says
it says Entering Bios and then Password???
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> max82fr: either way its offtopic for here
[11:44] <IamSOG> um..
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> max82fr: try f11 or f12
[11:44] <damaltor> max82fr: no bootloader needed. if your disc is bootable, you can directly boot into.
 sorry, no one would help in windows room
[11:44] <max82fr> oki will try
[11:44] <damaltor> max82fr: tell it your password :P
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> !ot | max82fr
don t have it. never given
[11:45] <IamSOG> just take out the battery on the board will reset the password and everything in the BIOS...
[11:45] <simplexio> could we get ubottu to teach right way to address some one in irc ? that would be nice
[11:45] <max82fr> thanks guys and fuck off><ubottu>
[11:45] <bazhang> !who | simplexio
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> max82fr: boot the system and press F11 lots, if its no good, rebot and press F12 lots
[11:45] <max82fr> thanks
[11:45] <bazhang> max82fr, watch the language
[11:45] <max82fr> LOve ya
[11:46] <max82fr> bazhang> yes mum
[11:46] <damaltor> hi everybody, i want to install xfce parallel to kde so i can choose before login. is it enough to just install the package xfce4? or do i have to configure something else?
[11:46] <davygrvy> Hi, having problems with the alternate installer running in low memory mode.  I can boot the CD_ROM from floppy with SBM, but once the installer kernel loads it bombs on step 3 "detecting and mounting cd-rom" and asks me for a "driver floppy".  What's a driver floppy and how do I make it?
[11:46] <simplexio> bazhang: yeah, right. learn to read
[11:46] <simplexio> bazhang: sorry.. i need to learn read
[11:47] <magnetron> davygrvy→ what kind of floppy did you use to boot the alternate CD?
[11:47] <simplexio> isnt it a irc standart to use nickname: at start ? i have been using irssi so long that i cant  remember what mirc does
[11:47] <TheSlayer> Can anyone say which version actually is better? Ubuntu, Xubuntu, or Kubuntu?
[11:47] <dimebar> TheSlayer: entirely depends on whether you prefer GNOME, KDE or XFCE
[11:48] <simplexio> TheSlayer: only difference is desktop enviroment, xubuntu should be best for small computer
[11:48] <davygrvy> magnetron: dd if=/dev/cdrom0/install/sbm.img of=/dev/fd0
[11:48] <Anarhist> how can i get a list of all the installed packages. i want to reinstall ubuntu, but want to know what i will need to apt-get after that
[11:48] <damaltor> TheSlayer: Kubuntu is luxury. on cost of performance. Xubuntu is very fast, but no luxury at all. ubuntu is some mid-way thing, fast but nice. i like kubuntu best, but now am installing xubutu because of performance
[11:48] <Apolo> join #ubuntu-br
[11:49] <TheSlayer> ah..... then i will just keep the Ubuntu. Apolo, put the "/" before commands. (/join ubuntu-br)
[11:50] <deany> does the usb-creator app in 8.10 create a usb install with alternative style installer or the live style installer?
[11:50] <davygrvy> magnetron: I used the 'smart boot manager' image on the alternate install cd-rom
[11:52] <_sunny_v_666> hello!!!
[11:53] <Boohbah> !hi | _sunny_v_666
[11:53] <davygrvy> alternate installer trouble.  Step #3 "detecting and mounting cd-rom" bombs.  I booted the installer from CD-ROM by way of 'smart boot manager' on a floppy, but once kernel loads it can't detect how it got loaded
[11:54] <foul_owl> ActionParsnip: module "type1" could not be loaded
[11:55] <_sunny_v_666> guys... i have a confession to make.. i use Xp too sometimes... I m guilty!!! :(
[11:55] <davygrvy> at the "boot:" line, can add anything like a port address of where the CD-ROM is?
[11:55] <ikonia> _sunny_v_666: that is not a problem, nor anything to be ashamed of
[11:55] <_sunny_v_666> yaaaaaaaa
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> foul_owl: then you need to find the package with that module in, or compile it
[11:55] <ikonia> davygrvy: what do you want to do ?
[11:56] <_sunny_v_666> i think remote installation might solve the problem
[11:56] <davygrvy> ikaros, I want the installer to detect my CD-ROM
[11:56] <ikonia> davygrvy: ok - so the fact that it's booting shows it can see the CDROM  - it wouldn't boot if it couldn't see the cdrom
[11:57] <davygrvy> ikaros, not exactly true...  'smart boot manager' is kicking it off
[11:57] <ikonia> davygrvy: it doesn't matter - if the cd is "booting" it can see the cdrom
[11:57] <davygrvy> ikaros, SBM is used because the bios doesn't support booting off a cd-rom
[11:58] <ikonia> davygrvy: that's nothing to do with ubuntu as an OS - and how old is this motherboard that you can't boot from a cdrom ?
[11:58] <_sunny_v_666> The problem might be with your BIOS... Does your system even decect any CD when you try to watch movies or something?
[11:58] <foul_owl> the package nvidia-kernel-177-source is already installed though
[11:58] <davygrvy> ikaros, ok, then you tell me why the installer is bombing and asking me for a driver disc (floppy)
[11:58] <ikaros> try to highlight ikonia pleas davygrvy
[11:58] <ikaros> =)
[11:58] <davygrvy> hehe, sorry
[11:58] <ikaros> np
[11:58] <ikonia> davygrvy: are you sure it's asking you for a driver disk ??/
[11:58] <Certh> hi
[11:59] <foul_owl> i am guessing that some stage of the driver installation, the kernel module is supposed to be compiled?
[11:59] <Certh> please test my repo
[11:59] <ikonia> davygrvy: what is the exact error message and at what point
[11:59] <ikonia> foul_owl: it's all pre-compiled
[11:59] <ikonia> foul_owl: there is nothing to compile at install time
[11:59] <ikonia> Certh: you can test it yourself
[11:59] <davygrvy> ikonia: yes, i'm sure, that is exactly what the dialog says
[11:59] <_sunny_v_666> davygrvy, can u use VCDs or movie DVDs???
[11:59] <ikonia> davygrvy: at what point do you get that message
[12:00] <davygrvy> ikonia, step #3 "detecting and mounting cd-rom"
[12:00] <_sunny_v_666> you don't need to compile anything during installation
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: have you seen the genbuntu idea? It uses apt-build instead of apt-get to compile the system in, like gentoo
[12:00] <ikonia> ActionParsnip: not aware of it no
[12:00] <xdfz> Yop all, I have a problem, I can't install gtk2 themes =( it says me that gtk engine is not installed on my computer
[12:00] <ikonia> davygrvy: how old is this board?
[12:00] <foul_owl> what should i do now? the package is installed, it just seems like the kernel can't find the module for some reason
[12:00] <davygrvy> ikonia, about 1997
[12:01] <ikonia> davygrvy: and it can't boot from cdrom ?
[12:01] <davygrvy> ikonia, true
[12:01] <ikonia> davygrvy: that's not meant rude, it's just quite surprising
[12:01] <ikonia> foul_owl: what are you trying to do
[12:02] <davygrvy> ikonia, at the "boot:" line is there anything I can add like a port address for the cd-rom drive?
[12:02] <ikonia> davygrvy: reboot - and remove the "splash" screen from the installer so you can see what's going on.
[12:02] <yoky> Hi
[12:02] <ikonia> davygrvy: from that any errors before you get asked for a drive disk may give us a clue on how to fix it
[12:02] <yoky> tray thed
[12:02] <yoky> its 100%
[12:02] <ikonia> yoky: ?
[12:02] <foul_owl> ikonia: i am trying to install nvidia drivers
[12:02] <ActionParsnip> davygrvy: have you tried some bootoptions?
[12:02] <davygrvy> ikonia, this is the alternate installer, there is no gui
[12:02] <yoky> ferr
[12:02] <ikonia> davygrvy: the splash screen
[12:02] <ikonia> davygrvy: get verbose output
[12:02] <davygrvy> ikonia, no, what are my options?
[12:02] <ikonia> foul_owl: how ?
[12:03] <ikonia> davygrvy: isn't there an option to pass "nosplash" to the boot line ?

[12:03] <jrib> piloten1975: you can use scp
[12:03] <_sunny_v_666> The problem might be with your BIOS... Does your system even decect any CD when you try to watch movies or something?

[12:04] <foul_owl> either works

[12:04] <jrib> _sunny_v_666: do you know about APT and Synaptic?
[12:04] <davygrvy> _sunny_v_666: I don;t think DVD existed yet in 1996
[12:04] <ikonia> foul_owl: the hardware manager "gui" I mean
[12:05] <ikonia> davygrvy: get the verbose output and lets see what it thinks of the cdrom
[12:05] <ikonia> davygrvy: maybe something we can do to help
[12:05] <travian_geek> how to grep a singel letter from a string? using echo and grep???
[12:05] <foul_owl> I tried using the gui, but it didn't enable the drivers

[12:05] <foul_owl> it said the drivers were enabled (180) but i was getting no direct rendering

[12:07] <_sunny_v_666> 1997??? What is ur RAM?
[12:07] <jrib> travian_geek: then you don't mean you want to "grep", you mean something else.  Try with -o and see if that's what you want.  If it's not, then explain what you want
[12:07] <foul_owl> aren't you supposed to use nvidia-xconfig if you have an nvidia card? also, the error is : cannot load module "type1"

[12:13] <foul_owl> when x trys to start, it starts in low video mode. it complains about not being able to load module "type1"
[12:13] <foul_owl> this is after disabling 180, and enabling 177
[12:14] <foul_owl> 180 i can't get direct rendering despite the driver supposedly being "active"
[12:14] <ikonia> foul_owl: forget direct rendering for the moment
[12:14] <ikonia> foul_owl: what video card do you have?
[12:14] <foul_owl> geforce 6600 gt
[12:15] <ikonia> foul_owl: ok - so has this ever worked ?
[12:15] <foul_owl> yes
[12:15] <foul_owl> 180 drivers worked for about three days
[12:15] <ikonia> foul_owl: then what happened ?
[12:16] <foul_owl> then direct rendering stopped working for no apparent reason
[12:16] <foul_owl> i have had this happen in the past too with other drivers
[12:16] <foul_owl> they work for a little while, then without warning direct rendering stops working
[12:17] <ikonia> foul_owl: ok - so what about the resoltion ?

[12:19] <ActionParsnip> Merther: does sudo iwlist scan     show APs?
[12:21] <ActionParsnip> Merther: you could rename the interfaces file and reboot, you will get a fresh one when you next login and your network manager app will be able to reconfigure the system
[12:21] <Merther> ActionParsnip, for that I've got wlan0 and the item I've added manually, which won't connect either

 didn t work btw
[12:21] <ikonia> foul_owl: why did you remove the drivers and install something else ?
[12:22] <foul_owl> i wasn't getting direct rendering with the 180 drivers, actionparsnip suggested that I try the 177 drivers
[12:22] <ikonia> foul_owl: had you ever got them with the 180 drivers ?
[12:22] <foul_owl> it worked for a few days, then stopped for no reason
[12:22] <Merther> I'll try the rename and reboot now.

[12:39] <ActionParsnip> aprilhare: you will need to replace the filenames with YOUR mp4 file names
[12:39] <jrib> foul_owl: you're being to vague.  You need to be specific about what is happening for someone to help you

[12:39] <jrib> too even
[12:39] <aprilhare> ActionParsnip: you don't say. that would never have occ- hang on. i did.
[12:39] <deany> you would use > for cat
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> aprilhare: cp file1.mp4+file2.mp4 output.mp4
[12:40] <deany> aprilhare, or use ffmpeg with multiple -i filename -i filename2

[12:40] <vecam> ActionParsnip, I followed the tutorial step by step, but still can't scan wireless networks , "Interface doesn't support scanning"

[12:45] <foul_owl> > how many lines for pastebin btw?
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> Merther: it usually has the lo interface in there, you can always remove the current one and rename back the original file you started with ( i always include a roll back method )
[12:46] <jrib> foul_owl: when did this happen?  Did the nvidia driver ever work?
[12:46] <foul_owl> yes, the 180 driver worked for about three days
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> foul_owl: I'd say anything above 3, depends ow busy the room is. If its chokka then anything more than 1 can be bad
[12:47] <jrib> foul_owl: and then what happened?
[12:47] <foul_owl> then direct rendering stopped working, so i was advised to try 177, which does not work at all
[12:47] <aprilhare> this command didn't work either: ffmpeg -vcodec copy -acodec copy -i video_1.mp4 -i video_2.mp4 -i video_3.mp4 -i video_4.mp4 -i video_5.mp4 -i video_6.mp4 video.mp4
[12:47] <foul_owl> actionparsnip: thanks!
[12:47] <aprilhare> the bitrates on video are different
[12:47] <jrib> foul_owl: it just suddenly stopped?  You changed nothing?  Installed nothing?
[12:47] <Merther> ActionParsnip, it's just blank,  I can move it back to what it was before.  Part of the problem may be that even manually configured it doesn't connect.  I put in my WPA password which is just a bunch of numbers and when I show password it shows a huge string of numbers and letters.
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> Merther: you need to install and configure the wpa supplicatnt
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> !wpa | Merther
[12:48] <deany> aprilhare, ffmpeg -i test1.avi -i test2.avi -vcodec copy -acodec copy -vcodec copy -acodec copy test12.avi -newvideo -newaudio
[12:48] <deany> test12 being the output
[12:48] <foul_owl> i installed a few things, but I can't see why it would break my video drivers
[12:49] <deany> thats directly from the manual btw :)
[12:49] <foul_owl> i think i installed libxul-runner dev, and a few other dev packages
[12:49] <Merther> ActionParsnip, wpa_supplicant is installed and configured, the one step says to put it into the interfaces file to make the change permanent but there was no place to put it even in the original file as it didn't show the wireless interface in there.
[12:50] <foul_owl> i noticed "direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)" but I have tried setting LIBGL_DEBUG to "verbose" and it makes no difference
[12:50] <elad> From the Terminal, how do I launch a program in such a way that its error messages don't get sent into that Terminal window, disrupting my further work with that window?
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> foul_owl: could try: sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; rm -~/.nvidia-settings-rc
[12:51] <cr3> hi i've got old ubuntu 6.06 and i would like to use a tool that makes bootable usb sticks, could somebody tell me what is the 'real' name of this application so that i could download it from repo or the internet
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> foul_owl: then run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and reboot
[12:51] <foul_owl> thanks! I'll give that a shot!
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> foul_owl: you will then have none of the nvidia stuff install on your system
[12:51] <foul_owl> sounds good to me :)
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> foul_owl: and you can resetup from scratch
[12:51] <foul_owl> sweet, will give this a try now!
[12:52] <aprilhare> ActionParsnip: ok: that produces a larger mp4 thats not quite the same size as the sum of the two files produced - but still plays for the same length as the first file
[12:52] <elad> Also, in ~/.bashrc, this alias doesn't get the program started in the background. Why? alias chore="/home/elad/nao/Choregraphe-1.1.0-Linux/choregraphe.sh &"
[12:52] <aprilhare> ActionParsnip: i miss GUIs :)
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> aprilhare: thats fine, if it plays all the way through ok then dont knock it :)
[12:52] <aprilhare> it doesn't
[12:52] <elad> OK, disregard that last question.
[12:52] <aprilhare> thats the point it only plays the first file contents
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> aprilhare: CLI is significantly more powerful, you could make it into a script if its a regular thing
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> aprilhare: yeah i hoped it wouldnt do that
[12:53] <aprilhare> ActionParsnip: so did I :)
[12:53] <elad> From the Terminal, how do I launch a program in such a way that its error messages don't get sent into that Terminal window, disrupting my further work with that window?
[12:53] <deany> aprilhare, try  mencoder -forceidx -oac copy -ovc copy input.mp4 -o output.mp4

[12:54] <jrib> elad: > to redirect stdout, 2> to redirect stderr
[12:54] <elad> And how do I redirect to null?
[12:54] <deany> aprilhare, using the large file you just made
[12:54] <elad> /dev/null?
[12:54] <geirha> elad: and &> to redirect both
[12:54] <deany> aprilhare, using the large file you just made as input and a new file for output
[12:54] <jrib> elad: yes
[12:54] <geirha> elad: yes. &> /dev/null
[12:55] <elad> What's "&>"?
[12:55] <elad> Redirect both stdout and stderr?
[12:55] <beli> bash's redirect operator
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> aprilhare: you could create a playlist in vlc and output the stream to a file on your system so that it makes one big file (i think vlc can do that)
[12:55] <elad> Doesn't work. I still get those ugly error messages in my Terminal window.
[12:55] <beli> new bash has new redirect operators...
[12:55] <jrib> elad: pastebin
[12:56] <beli> elad: what are your trying to do?
[12:56] <aprilhare> deany: didn't work "Audio format 0x6134706d is incompatible with '-oac copy', please try '-oac pcm' instead or use '-fafmttag' to override it."
[12:56] <twitter1> Hello everybody. I have just switched from Fedora to Ubuntu. In Ubuntu the 'command line'  seems to be a lot more 'intelligent'. For example, after 'tar xzf', if you press tab, only tar.gz files are autocompleted. How is that done?
[12:57] <geirha> elad: you must add those to the end of the command when you run it. You can't redirect the output after the command has been run
[12:57] <elad> Never mind, it appears it's happened because I was using an alias. It appears I can't alias "chore=/somewhere/chore.sh", and then do "chore &> /dev/null". Can't imagine why not, though.
[12:57] <elad> geirha, I know that.
[12:57] <beli> elad: these are to different commands then...
[12:58] <beli> elad: each alias is interpretated as one closed section by the shell
[12:58] <deany> aprilhare,  ffmpeg -i file1.mp4 -i file2.mp4 -i file3.mp4 -f avi -vcodec mpeg4 -b 800k -g 300 -acodec libmp3lame -ab 128k output.avi  | should work
[12:58] <James24> Hello all
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> deany is the ffmpeg master
[12:58] <James24> is there an easy command at the terminal to take the contents between two lines numbers within a file.. and dump it to another file?
[12:58] <James24> or must i use a combination of head/less ?
[12:59] <beli> James24: awk, sed
[12:59]  * deany is a fake reading a manual
[12:59] <deany> heh
[12:59] <jrib> twitter1: apt-cache show bash-completion   maybe
[13:00] <deany> aprilhare, if there are sync issues in the output then run that mencoder command on it..
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> James24: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-152044.html
[13:00] <beli> James24: try sed -n 'n,mp' filename
[13:01] <aprilhare> deany: and the output will work with divx/xvid players?
[13:01] <beli> James24: where n is start and m end....let the p as it is, it measns print
[13:01] <aprilhare> deany: important that.
[13:01] <beli> s/measns/means/
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> deany: still impressed, looks badass
[13:01] <b1n42y> if i got the ubuntu repo would that include intel386 and amd64 ?
[13:02] <jrib> b1n42y: what do you mean "got the ubuntu repo"?
[13:02] <Blinkiz> Hi there. I want to know what packages is installed when doing a installation of Ubuntu 8.04 JeOS. Does it exist such list on the web somewhere?
[13:02] <Ademan> anyone know of an application to play *.vgz files?  apparently they're winamp chiptune files... (apparently) I thought maybe somehow with midi or modplug or something I could get them to play
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> b1n42y: yes
[13:02] <lulu>  sweetangel
[13:02] <b1n42y> jrib, d/l or bought dvds(if thats an option)
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> b1n42y: they will most likely have debs for both archs
[13:02] <b1n42y> ActionParsnip, thanks
[13:02] <deany> i`ll try it myself
[13:02] <jrib> b1n42y: packages for i386 and amd64 are there so it's possible, sure
[13:02] <aprilhare> deany: output.avi still only plays 9:35 into the whole file in totem
[13:03] <aprilhare> bugz
[13:03] <b1n42y> jrib, thanks
[13:03] <beli> James24: if your sed does not support -n...try sed 'n,m!d'   but gnu sed will do both
[13:03] <deany> ran the mencoder command on it?
[13:03] <Gartral> how do i mount an iso as a cdrom?
[13:03] <fosco_> Gartral: use nautilus or mount command
[13:03] <oCean__> ActionParsnip: hi. Can I send you a link in pm on a script (for use here) that jack_sparrow and me have been working on?
[13:03] <b1n42y> Gartral, acetone ?
[13:03] <b1n42y> !acetone
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> Gartral: sudo mount -o loop /path/to/iso /media/cdrom0
[13:03] <rockyrock> Hi guys, i want to buy a new ADSL modem with wireless. What about LinkSys? Any problems with Ubuntu??
[13:04] <James24> beli - thank you
[13:04] <b1n42y> Gartral, arg cant remember the name for the gui program
[13:04] <beli> James24: np
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> rockyrock: the router you buy doesnt matter as they all adhere to the ISO standards, its only the device in your system you have to worry about
[13:04] <BezNalogov> Hello. I get the following error all the time in /var/log/messages. What does it mean and what can I do about it? kernel: [10187.895691] exim[19224]: segfault at 1820162a ip 1820162a sp bfd1703c error 14
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> rockyrock: as long as your OS can interact with your wireless in your systems then they will interfcae with ANY router you buy
[13:05] <aprilhare> deany: still the same even after mencoder command
[13:05] <Gartral> ActionParsnip: great, thanks!
[13:05] <deany> im tryin it myself.. i know it works ive tried it before
[13:05] <deany> tho, i used the cat command to join em
[13:06] <aprilhare> i'll try cat command to join em then :)
[13:06] <b1n42y> Gartral, you can use Furious
[13:06] <aprilhare> actually i'm getting tired.
[13:06] <aprilhare> try it another time
[13:06] <aprilhare> night :)
[13:06] <b1n42y> !furious
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> Gartral: linux has been mounting iso for AGGES, windows is still unable in this time without 3rd party apps
[13:07] <b1n42y> Gartral, also sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>
[13:07] <rockyrock> ActionParsnip: This is my first time for me with ADSL I haven't installed the ADSL sevice so i don't know who to set it up. As i understood from you, that i only have to put the telephone line inside the LinkSys wireless mode (router) and then my desktop that has a D-Link wireless card will take internet from the router, right?
[13:07] <CryptIce7> is there a native hex editor for linux?  (ubuntu)
[13:07] <rockyrock> ActionParsnip: I still use Dial-u
[13:07] <rockyrock> *p
[13:07] <fosco_> CryptIce7: aptitude search hex | grep edit
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> rockyrock: you may have to configure an account with may require a windows system, if the account is premade you can apply your settings to the router and it will connect
[13:08] <rockyrock> ActionParsnip: so I don't have to connect the router with the PC?
[13:08] <CryptIce7> fosco_: well, i was looking for a native tool.  My ubuntu box isnt' connected to the Internet.
[13:09] <rockyrock> ActionParsnip: What account?
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> rockyrock: it varies with providers, if you have to setup an account then they will assume windows and you may have to use a windows system to setup the initial account. But as the connection between linux and the router you can use anything at all
[13:09] <rockyrock> ac
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> rockyrock: when you get adsl yu buy an acount and an IP address, this will need aplying to your router of choice
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> rockyrock: ive told you before, yuo MAY have to. It depends on the provider
[13:10] <oCean_> ActionParsnip: hi. Can I send you a link in pm on a script (for use here) that jack_sparrow and me have been working on?
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> oCean_: sure, pastebinn it dude
[13:10] <b1n42y> CryptIce7, goto synaptic type hex and then press installed tab to see if anything is installed that contains hex in description or name ?
[13:10] <venu> how to change the screen resolution..... can some one help me plz
[13:10] <rockyrock> ActionParsnip: that's right, in my country when we buy ADSL they give us username and password and phone number to connect. So where to put these, in Windows?
[13:10] <Gartral> ActionParsnip: great, i have the iso mounted, but the names wrong
[13:10] <jrib> venu: system -> preferences -> screen resolution
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> rockyrock: no, you put those in your router
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> Gartral: what name?
[13:11] <b1n42y> venu, tried system>preferences>screen resolution
[13:11] <rockyrock> ActionParsnip: aha, and to put these configurations in my router i might need windows. Right?
[13:11] <farciarz84> hi how can I edit the path to my python?
[13:11] <jrib> farciarz84: why?  What exactly are you doing?
[13:12] <Gartral> the name the cd is supposed to come up as, it says "cdrom1" it should say "_DISK1" for the game
[13:12] <rockyrock> ActionParsnip: cuz the router software might only support windows?
[13:12] <b1n42y> rockyrock, most routers are asked via http:\\198.168.0.1
[13:12] <b1n42y> accessed*
[13:12] <farciarz84> jrib I got a problem like: when I put python it reffers me to a python which is not a python2.5
[13:13] <jrib> farciarz84: what version of ubuntu?
[13:13] <farciarz84> jrib: so when I put python2.5 I can import modules but when python only I cannot
[13:13] <farciarz84> jrib: 8.0
[13:13] <farciarz84> jrib: 8.10
[13:13] <jrib> farciarz84: what does « which python » return?
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> rockyrock: no, the account setup software may be windows only
[13:14] <Gartral> ActionParsnip:  the name the cd is supposed to come up as, it says "cdrom1" it should say "_DISK1" for the game
[13:14] <farciarz84> /usr/local/bin/python
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> rockyrock: the router itself and configuring it will be done via a web browser so will be doable from ANY system
[13:14] <Makay> wireless rt73usb and ubuntu inter = down ?? ;(
[13:14] <b1n42y> ActionParsnip, my old adsl setup was done via router; username, password etc
[13:15] <jrib> farciarz84: so you installed python manually to /usr/local/?
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> Gartral: i think the game will read a file from disk2 when it is changed. You may want to read the appdb for wine and how to install the game
[13:15] <CVirus> Is it safe to resize an NTFS partition from the ubuntu installation ?
[13:15] <deany> CVirus, ive done it successfully
[13:15] <Gartral> its already installed, it just needs the playdisk
[13:15] <jrib> CVirus: relatively safe.  You should have backups of any data you care about of course
[13:15] <Gartral> ActionParsnip:  its already installed, it just needs the playdisk
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> b1n42y: i use cable, it uses the mac address of the registered system, no stupid passwords to remember, just clone MAC address and bam
[13:15] <CVirus> deany: jrib: thanks
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> Gartral: maybe theres something in mount to change its name
[13:15] <b1n42y> ActionParsnip, ya but i dont understand why he would need winblows
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> Gartral: read man mount   and also ask in #winehq
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> b1n42y: because if he has to setup and account with the provider using a cd, the cd will undoubtably expect a windows based OS
[13:16] <b1n42y> CVirus, just dont interrupt the process if you become impatient
[13:16] <CVirus> b1n42y: sure
[13:17] <Makay> ActionParsnip wireless rt73usb and ubuntu inter = down ?? ;(
[13:17] <b1n42y> ActionParsnip, doesnt that cd just install drivers etc?
[13:17] <[biabia]> is there an easy way to make a disk quota for a particular user
[13:17] <Makay> internet*
[13:17] <b1n42y> ActionParsnip, i was under the impression all you need is username apssword and adsl specs
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> b1n42y: it varys from provider to provider
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> b1n42y: yes yuo do but if you have to set that up with a cd from the provider it wont run on ubuntu and it may not like running via wine
[13:18] <b1n42y> CVirus, ahh ok sorry i though the was just ubunting
[13:18] <b1n42y> he*
[13:18] <ndogbosok> hi all, i've read this: http://hohwie.com/blog/?p=8

[13:19] <CVirus> b1n42y: fair enough
[13:19] <ndogbosok> but it looks like i missed some step
[13:19] <ndogbosok> my notification doesn't popup any message
[13:19] <Makay> wireless rt73usb and ubuntu internet = down ?? ;(
[13:19] <ndogbosok> can help me?
[13:19] <extor> How do I fix up the scripts in /etc/init.d/ to start up by default when the box boots up? Is there some nice menu based utility that can help me?
[13:19]  * b1n42y eyes are sore
[13:19] <farciarz84> jrib: /usr/local/bin/python
[13:20] <jrib> farciarz84: so you installed python manually to /usr/local/?
[13:20] <fosco_> extor: system - admin - services
[13:20] <extor> fosco_, I just have shell access
[13:20] <jrib> extor: I'm not sure why you say "fix".  Default behavior should be to start automatically by default most of the time.  Checkout sysv-rc-conf and bum
[13:21] <oshua86> does anybody know where can I find the binaries for the lastest GTK+
[13:21] <fosco_> extor: sysv-rc-conf
[13:21] <oshua86> ?
[13:21] <jrib> oshua86: why?
[13:21] <fosco_> oshua86: you'd better use the ones in the repos
[13:21] <oshua86> jrib, I am having problmes installing it
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> Makay: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/283759
[13:21] <extor> Why is sysv-rc-conf called SYSV-rc-conf I am curious. Is ubuntu a System V derivitive?
[13:22] <jrib> oshua86: right.  My question was more, why are you trying to install the latest instead of what is in the repositories?
[13:22] <b1n42y> fosco_, are they part of the gimp toolkit ?
[13:22] <oshua86> jrib, I think the repos have GTK2.1 im trying to install murrine and it requires 2.8
[13:22] <oshua86> I cant find 2.8 in the repos
[13:22] <farciarz84> jrib: I've installed python2.6 then remove it and after that reinstall python2.5
[13:23] <jrib> oshua86: murrine is in the repositories
[13:23] <jrib> farciarz84: you haven't removed whatever you installed to /usr/local/
[13:23] <farciarz84> jrib: and manually copy some files from usr/lib usr/bin to user/local
[13:23] <jrib> farciarz84: ugh, why?
[13:24] <quibbler> Makay: maybe this will help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=400236
[13:24] <Gartral> ActionParsnip: how do i unmount that cd iso?
[13:24] <ndogbosok> x
[13:24] <oshua86> jrib, sudo apt-get install murrine
[13:24] <oshua86> couldnt find package
[13:24] <farciarz84> jrib: couse when I put python I couldn't import libs
[13:24] <azlon> how can i check to see if a program is installed?
[13:24] <jrib> oshua86: apt-cache search murrine
[13:24] <fosco_> azlon: just try to execute it
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> Gartral: sudo umount /media/cdrom0
[13:25] <jrib> farciarz84: because you have garbage in /usr/local/.  Uninstall/delete it
[13:25] <jrib> azlon: you can check if a package is installed with: apt-cache policy PACKAGE
[13:25] <jrib> !apt > azlon
[13:25] <farciarz84> jrib: now everthing is working but just when I put python2.5, I want to change it to get work with just 'python'
[13:25] <b1n42y> azlon, if its a gui and u cant find it try alt+f2 insert program name
[13:25] <azlon> fosco_: bash: uinput: command not found
[13:25] <jrib> farciarz84: I understand the problem
[13:26] <fosco_> azlon: so "uinput" is not installed
[13:26] <farciarz84> jrib: when I remove everything 'python*.*' from usr/local will it solve the problem?
[13:26] <fosco_> whatever it is
[13:26] <sileni> hey guys, i'm trying to install ubuntu netbook remix on my netbook. I don't understand how to though. I have to intsall ubuntu 8.10 (Desktop edition) and then install the netbook stuff?
[13:27] <jrib> farciarz84: recursively, sure.  Remove anything python related, not just anything that starts with the letters "python"
[13:27] <b1n42y> if my wireless is at 70% is it normal that im connected at 24Mbps instead of 54?
[13:28] <thespottedelf_> hello
[13:28] <javaJake> b1n42y: you can force a higher mbps with iwconfig, but it usually doesn't make any difference
[13:28] <thespottedelf_> i got some nooby questions about ubuntu
[13:29] <farciarz84> jrib: tnx
[13:29] <quibbler> !ask | thespottedelf_
[13:29] <Userisk> my local login xsession is stuffed with errors seemingly related to x permissions. anyone have a few pointers?
[13:29] <jrib> Userisk: pastebin
[13:30] <b1n42y> javaJake, hmmm, well im on half theoretical throughput, are you sure its not worth a try?
[13:30] <javaJake> b1n42y: worth a try :)
[13:30] <javaJake> b1n42y: iwconfig wlanX rate 54M
[13:30] <javaJake> b1n42y: use straight 'iwconfig' to get a list of current devices and settings
[13:30] <thespottedelf_> i'm going to be switchnig over to ubuntu as my main os (to make myself learn it) but i also need to have a windows install.  I've also heard that if you make an extra a partition for the home directory you can switch distrose with out losing data... so my question is what partition set up should i do when format
[13:30] <b1n42y> javaJake, thats the cli command?
[13:31] <javaJake> b1n42y: yes, but it will be overwritten on reconnect.
[13:31] <Userisk> jrib: sorry, don't understand the tip ^^
[13:31] <jrib> Userisk: pastebin the errors you are getting
[13:31] <jrib> !pastebin | Userisk
[13:31] <javaJake> b1n42y: to make anything permanent, you have to talk to networkmanager
[13:31] <farciarz84> jrib: it's working tnx again
[13:31] <farciarz84> :)
[13:31] <b1n42y> javaJake, will i get disconnected whilst its trying to achieve it, ohh im using wicd
[13:31] <javaJake> thespottedelf_: just boot up windows, and stick the CD in the drive
[13:32] <javaJake> thespottedelf_: it will let you install Ubuntu _inside_ Windows so you don't have to mess with partitioning
[13:32] <javaJake> thespottedelf_: if you want to mess with partitioning, the installer will suggest good settings for resizing Windows automatically
[13:32] <javaJake> thespottedelf_: so you won't have to worry about that... just pick a "Guided" option
[13:33] <thespottedelf_> i have a wubi install, but i want to have ubuntu as a main os, ie 60gig partition for windows, then 140 for ubuntu the 300 for data
[13:33] <javaJake> thespottedelf_: sorry, when I said installer last, I meant the Ubuntu installer when you boot off the disk
[13:33] <javaJake> thespottedelf_: yea, the installer will help you with that. :)
[13:34] <thespottedelf_> javajake: well its about time to reinstall windows so i think i'm going to wipe the drive and start from scratch...
[13:34] <javaJake> thespottedelf_: if I recall correctly, it'll let you pick a size for Windows.
[13:34] <javaJake> thespottedelf_: ahh, I see... it's best to install Windows first then
[13:34] <thespottedelf_> should i instal windows first? then ubuntu or does it not really mater
[13:34] <javaJake> thespottedelf_: you have three options:
[13:34] <thespottedelf_> o thanks
[13:34] <sileni> thespottedelf_: install windows first then ubuntu
[13:35] <thespottedelf_> ok
[13:35] <javaJake> thespottedelf_: 1) Use Ubuntu paritioner to create your partitions (use gparted in the menus, not the Ubuntu installer), then reboot into the Windows installer and continue there.
[13:35] <javaJake> thespottedelf_: 2) Use Windows partitioner and installer in one go
[13:36] <b1n42y> javaJake, success using iwconfig eth1 rate 54M, now to see if vnc to desktop is quicker(smoother)
[13:36] <javaJake> thespottedelf_: 3) Install ubuntu first with their guided partitioning, install Windows, then reinstall GRUB (there's a guide for that)
[13:36] <javaJake> thespottedelf_: 2) is the recommended one.
[13:36] <thespottedelf_> yea sounds like the least
[13:36] <thespottedelf_> work
[13:36] <javaJake> thespottedelf_: right :)
[13:36] <thespottedelf_> javajake: thanks!
[13:37] <javaJake> thespottedelf_: you're welcome!
[13:37] <ikonia> javaJake: why is that recommended ?
[13:37] <ikonia> javaJake: why is it not recommended to install windows first then ubuntu ?
[13:37] <KRav-Wrk> hello, I'm wondering if anyone knows how to change the ssh connection timeout interval in nautilus?
[13:37] <KRav-Wrk> I'm connecting to a ssh server that takes a really long time to authenticate because of NIS+ and it is always longer than nautilus allows.
[13:37] <ikonia> thespottedelf_: I would personally install windows first, then ubuntu, that way ubuntu will pickup the windows partition with grub and configure it first time around ?
[13:37] <thespottedelf_> alright now i get to go teach myself by trial and error :) ttyls
[13:37] <KRav-Wrk> I connect find via tty
[13:38] <iuri> hello
[13:38] <thespottedelf_> ikonia: thats what javajake said
[13:38] <thespottedelf_> :)
[13:38] <javaJake> ikonia, thespottedelf_: I guess I wasn't clear. Windows first, then Ubuntu. 2) was merely saying you should use the Windows tools to reformat the drive too
[13:38] <ikonia> javaJake: ahhhh worry, I miss-read what you said
[13:38] <thespottedelf_> alright i gotta go ttyls
[13:38] <ikonia> sorry

[13:40] <funkyHat> ubuntistas: yes, press stop in VLC before you suspend
[13:41] <ubuntistas> funkyhat i am not using vlc right now
[13:41] <deany> sileni, a related guide http://www.ubuntumini.com/2008/10/installing-ubuntu-netbook-remix.html
[13:41] <funkyHat> It would be really nice if it could tell the difference between the user choosing to shut down/suspend etc. and the system doing it automatically
[13:41] <deany> i only know cuz im gettin a dell mini 9 for my mother :)
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> azlon: sudo and gksudo are not above each other in any way, gksudo is used to launch graphical apps and sudo is for command line apps: sudo gedit is INCORRECT
[13:41] <KRav-Wrk> b1n42y: thanks, but ssh from terminal all works fine.  it's specifically in nautilis via ssh://host.  I get the username and password prompt but it times out before authentication is complete.  Nautilus can connect to other hosts fine, it's just this one take a very long time to authenticate because of NIS+
[13:42] <azlon> ActionParsnip: ah, got it... thanks
[13:42] <funkyHat> ubuntistas: oh right... were you using it earlier? perhaps try opening VLC and then closing it again (maybe it crashed?)
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> azlon: gksudo gedit is correct and will configure the environment correctly which will make your file permissions and ownerships not reak
[13:42] <sileni> deany: i saw that guide... so it is like installing a full fledged ubuntu 8.10 and then on top of that installing netbook stuff.. i don't see how that is useful because netbook have low specs with respect to HD size and all
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> azlon: in kde its kdesudo too
[13:42] <ubuntistas> no funkyhat
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> azlon: you can actually use gksudo for both cli and gui
[13:43] <n8tuserf> chumbo -> you have it installed already?
[13:43] <deany> sileni, well you can strip it down and remove a lot of apps you dont want... one im gettin is 8gig/1gig ram
[13:43] <KRav-Wrk> b1n42y: so I need to increase how long nautilus will wait for the authentication to complete.  In WinSCP going to the same server I have to click continue several times before it connects
[13:43] <chumbo> n8tuserf, yes its instaled and secured
[13:43] <ubuntistas> i receive a message when i suspend: 'vlc has stopped hibernate from taking place playing some media' any clue?
[13:44] <sileni> deany: hp mini has 1 gig ram and 16 gig but its preinstalled with xp which takes up 6 gb
[13:44] <deany> me personally wouldnt bother with it and just stick with regular
[13:44] <funkyHat> ubuntistas: I think you might be experiencing this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/290753
[13:44] <mikeshollen> Hey folks, I'm still fairly new to Ubuntu and Linux, and I was considering security the other day.  After doing some research, I found this website which has a lot of interesting information.  I was wondering whta some of you experienced users had to think about the suggestions it gives for securing your system.  If you could, please take a look at it and IM your thoughts to me.  http://www.itsecurity.com/features/ubuntu-sec
[13:44] <n8tuserf> chumbo -> well how did you logged in to it?
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> ubuntistas: click stop on vlc, pause may work too. Try both. failing that, close vlc
[13:45] <sileni> deany: i just look into it because i read some review saying that netbook remix is tailored towards the atom processor and so on
[13:45] <sileni> deany: the new 8.10 has that builtin to the kernel?
[13:45] <deany> sileni, yes, its for netbooks
[13:45] <Userisk> once logged in, the windows manager is missing and most programs will not execute http://paste.ubuntu.com/126696/
[13:45] <sileni> deany: what, you mean if i just get the ubuntu 8.10 frm website now and install it on netbook. it would have the optimization for atom processor and so on ?
[13:45] <ubuntistas> actionparsnip iam not using it right now
[13:46] <Certh> hi
[13:46] <deany> atom is pretty much same as x86 , just some packages are optimised for it more (lpia instead of debs)
[13:46] <zmay> hello, haveing some pc problems, when i turn on my pc, screen doesent wake up, and system shuts down automaticly after about 5s, then automaticaly turns on again after 5sec and shuts down etc... anybody know what it could be
[13:46] <deany> (low power)
[13:46] <sileni> zmay: you go thp ?
[13:46] <sileni> you got hp?
[13:46] <deany> but you can install ubuntu on a netbook yes..
[13:46] <root> hi guys
[13:46] <qknight> schmidtm: huhu
[13:47] <zmay> nop
[13:47] <deany> the dell im getting has an atom too
[13:47] <sileni> deany: thank you for so much good information, one second
[13:47] <zmay> sileni: no
[13:47] <knutwin> hi, does anybody knwo how to change the default display picture of totem?
[13:47] <zmay> sileni: its desktop pc
[13:47] <n8tuserf> chumbo -> i can assist you here in the main, not in the pm though
[13:47] <cmdblock> i want ro konw what about fonset style. who can help me
[13:47] <toddoon> salut, est ce que quelqu'un utilise dm-crypt?
[13:48] <cmdblock> i want ro konw what about fontset style. who can help me

[13:48] <cmdblock> i want to konw what about fontset style. who can help me
[13:48] <yonatan> hi, every time I change my screen brightness the keyboard goes dead?
[13:48] <chumbo> n8tuserf, I dont understand... i logged normaly like"sudo lampp/lampp start"
[13:48] <chumbo> n8tuserf, if thats what u meen =/
[13:48] <n8tuserf> chumbo -> okay, so you are already logged on, what are you trying to do next?
[13:49] <zmay> deany: you really thin its low power?
[13:49] <sileni> zmay: if it is desktop i doubt its low power
[13:49] <toddoon> hi does somebody use dm-crypt and could explain me how to crypt the root partition?
[13:49] <bluewater> hi~
[13:49] <zmay> sileni: and it's brand new
[13:50] <deany> sileni, how are you goin to partition your 16gig then..  im just gonna use 1 big one for my mothers... swapless of course
[13:50] <n8tuserf> toddoon -> i have not used it before, but it does not work in trying to crypt the current root partition, you are using it right now
[13:51] <b1n42y> i may have had an answer for KRAV
[13:51] <toddoon> n8tuserf: no i would have advices to see if it is possible
[13:51] <chumbo> n8tuserf, well i set my user and pass long time ago so it as some security but that made xampp unable to be accessible via network.. i cant access phpmyadmin for example and i am in the computer with the databases
[13:51] <n8tuserf> toddoon -> perhaps you can go boot from livecd and dmcrypt your root partition from there?
[13:51] <deany> thats if i dont just keep the default 8.04 / dell custom interface.. it can be disabled with 1 click
[13:51] <toddoon> n8tuserf: i think too it is the solution
[13:52] <knutwin> is there a multimedia player that plays sound AND video files exept VLC Player?
[13:52] <ubuntistas> i receive a message when i suspend: 'vlc has stopped hibernate from taking place playing some media' any clue?
[13:52] <quibbler> !players | knutwin
[13:52] <funkyHat> knutwin: Totem plays any format supported by Gstreamer
[13:52] <sileni> deany: i have no clue, i'm probably just going to let ubuntu decide the parititons during installation
[13:53] <ubuntistas> As a work around you can add "inhibit=0" to ~/.config/vlc/vlcrc this will allow suspend/hibernation while vlc is running.
[13:53] <ubuntistas> how can i run it in terminal?
[13:53] <knutwin> funkyHat: i want comfort of rhythmbox with the ability of totem to play videos
[13:53] <n8tuserf> chumbo -> are you a developer? you knew how to change the password so you remember it?
[13:53] <funkyHat> knutwin: try banshee (I think you'd need to enable the ppa to get the version that does video
[13:53] <deany> sileni, it will suggest swap , you dont really want one.. will lessen the life of your flash drive
[13:54] <sileni> deany: .. i thought you would need swap more than ever on notebooks..
[13:54] <knutwin> funkyHat: can u provide the ppa url?
[13:54] <n8tuserf> ubuntistas -> you can vim (edit) the file and insert those entries
[13:54] <deany> sileni, SSD are flash, flash only has finite writes
[13:54] <ser_> hola
[13:55] <ubuntistas> n8tuserf explain
[13:55] <ser_> alguien de argentina
[13:55] <funkyHat> knutwin: https://launchpad.net/~banshee-team/+archive/ppa
[13:55] <bazhang> !ar
[13:55] <n8tuserf> ubuntistas -> you can vim (edit) the file and insert those entries. <-- you dont understand editing a file?
[13:55] <chumbo> n8tuserf, yes i change it like it says in the tutorial... because by default it cames without password
[13:55] <ubuntistas> no
[13:55] <knutwin> funkyHat: just add that to the sources list and then install banshee?
[13:56] <funkyHat> knutwin: yes, I would also suggest you add the ppa key
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> ubuntistas: well vlc must still be running, check in: ps -ef | grep vlc
[13:56] <n8tuserf> chumbo if you followed the tutorial in creating a password, then look into how you would manage an apache and mysql with password, you need to figure out the connect string on the db is one thing
[13:56] <Certh1> a new repo opened
[13:56] <knutwin> funkyHat: how do i do that, where do i get the key? :-)
[13:57] <sileni> deany: nooo you mean to tell me my hard drive will die soon :'(?
[13:57] <funkyHat> knutwin: there is a line on the page I linked that says 'This repository is signed with *key* blah blah Follow these instructions...'
[13:58] <jdolan> hi, can someone recommend a GUI-based backups package for desktop use?  i just want to easily backup most of ~/ to a USB drive every so often.
[13:58] <n8tuserf> sileni -> typical flash drive cycles are in 100,00's and up..
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> !backup | jdolan
[13:59] <chumbo> n8tuserf, well since
[13:59] <hateball> jdolan: grsync
[13:59] <knutwin> funkyHat: Ok, Thanks!
[13:59] <MacGyver> heh
[13:59] <jdolan> thanks :)
[13:59] <deany> sileni, it will last a very long time dont worry..http://www.storagesearch.com/ssdmyths-endurance.html
[14:00] <gldtn> hello.. how can I have my system to allow multiple sound running at the same time? right now when I turn on MPD and try to listen to something in firefox, I get no sound
[14:00] <deany> sileni, but using swap will lessen its life and you dont really NEED a swap
[14:01] <deany> ive got FF/TB, Pidgin, Gimp, xmms, xchat and xp in a vbox and still not using swap with 1gig ram
[14:01] <deany> its a netbook, just dont run it into the ground
[14:01] <vladuz976_> i am looking for a packaged version of monodevelop 2.0 beta. is there some sort of place where people might have a personal repository with such a package. is there a common place to look for?
[14:02] <chumbo> n8tuserf, well since network access was enabled by default when i install xampp, i thougth it could be easy to enable it again.. i am not a programer if theres no tutorial i get stuck lol
[14:02] <sileni> deany: thank you so much man!
[14:03] <deany> SSD are intelligent enough too to spread writes to other parts of the flash.. a replacement 16gig SSD by that time will be peanuts
[14:03] <deany> and you can still read from it apparently, so you can back up
[14:03] <sileni> deany: when you said it wil llessen life i thought i need to get the netbook replaced in a year or so
[14:03] <n8tuserf> chumbo -> well you should have considered it why you have to put a password, its purpose to be open and used by developers where security is not the main goal
[14:03] <deany> i read a page where someone tested a usb flash with writes, he got 90.5 million or so
[14:03] <Pici> !xampp | chumbo
[14:04] <sileni> deany: that is good i think...
[14:04] <sileni> deany: so what do you suggest i do. for my univ it would be really nice if i have linux and windows
[14:05] <deany> dual boot it then.. you can resize what you have now with the installer
[14:06] <sileni> deany: so i just go to the main ubuntu webpage, and download ubuntu 8.10 desktop version and install like i did on this desktop pc?
[14:06] <qO_Op> how would i install xserver in ubuntu server
[14:06] <deany> make a liveusb if you dont have a cdrom
[14:06] <qO_Op> where i hit ctrl+alt f7-f12
[14:07] <qO_Op> ubuntu server doesn't have it
[14:07] <sileni> deany, yea the only way i can get stuff on there is through this small sd thing they give you a 2gb sd thing...
[14:07] <SilverVVolf> I am trying to install foxit reader.
[14:07] <deany> sileni, http://www.ubuntumini.com/2008/10/installing-ubuntu-on-dell-inspiron-mini.html
[14:07] <AndrewMohawk> hi, ive recently created a "trivial" repo which installs tomcat with my application and post installation (well in postinst) i start tomcat with /etc/init.d/tomcat, however after the installation completes i no longer see tomcat running and have to manually start it. I do the same with apache but that stays up, anyone got any idea how to get around this?
[14:07] <deany> sileni, umm..should be enough
[14:08] <SilverVVolf> I have extracted the files, but am unable to configure, compile, and install
[14:08] <deany> ive never used a netbook before, im lookin forward to tryin something new
[14:08] <glitsj16> gldtn: do you use pulseaudio ? if so, have you set mpd to use pulseaudio output ?
[14:08] <deany> its for my mother anyway so doesnt need to be fully fledged ubuntu...it was a steal anyway £149 :)
[14:09] <gldtn> glitsj16,  no it's using alsa
[14:09] <sileni> deany: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/09/04/four-tweaks-for-using-linux-with-solid-state-drives/ that looks like it would be useful
[14:09] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> tomcat has a log file, look there for clues first?
[14:10] <Cycom> is there currently any benefit to using lpia on an atom vs i386?
[14:10] <glitsj16> gldtn: that would account for your issue i guess, take a look at http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-get-mpd-running-with-pulseaudio-in-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron.html (works for intrepid as well)
[14:10] <Naraht> So, I don't know is anyone can help, but it looks like my Ubuntu installation on the other PC is toast.  I no longer have sudo access, boot is hanging looking for nonexisitant groups...I don't know what's going on, but I can't use the computer now...
[14:10] <zr0gee> hi all - I'm wondering where I should look for info on howto add a small iptables boot-script on an Ubuntu server.
[14:10] <n8tuserf> Naraht -> use your livecd to repair it
[14:10] <rafaelscj> swfdec or gnash, which is better?
[14:11] <gldtn> glitsj16, thanks.. let me take a look at it
[14:11] <silidan> is it normal that the keyboard configuration tool (Ubuntu 8.04) has actually absolutley no effect?
[14:11] <chumbo> n8tuserf, i just whant it to have password so i am the only on o how can access it.. i think thats comun sence, now if i am working in a network and i must be changeing from a computer to an other i should have normal access for bouth of them =)
[14:11] <n8tuserf> zr0gee -> look into iptables-save
[14:11] <Naraht> repair what?  there's no "repair" option that I can find...
[14:11] <zr0gee> okay, thank you
[14:12] <n8tuserf> chumbo -> you have to understand how one connects to mysql from a network, which client do you use?
[14:12] <n8tuserf> Naraht -> its not an automatic repair, "repair" i meant is generic term,
[14:13] <Naraht> I gathered, if I knew how to fix the problem, I would...but I do not...which is why I'm here.
[14:13] <n8tuserf> !who | Naraht
[14:13] <Flynsarmy> With a static IP, wireless works fine. but if i switch to ethernet, i can only get network with a static ip - no internet. with automatic config it works fine. Why is that?
[14:14] <snek> is your dns server in /etc/resolv.conf ?
[14:14] <snek> cuz it sounds like it can't resolve domains to ip's
[14:15] <chumbo> n8tuserf, sorry, 'client'?
[14:15] <n8tuserf> Flynsarmy -> do this, compare your route table when it is working, and when it is not working, you should see the clue
[14:15] <Flynsarmy> n8tuserf, route table is empty in both methods
[14:15] <sileni> deany: i don't know where to put the 2gb sd thing they gave
[14:16] <sileni> deany:  my pc has alot of slots to stick things in ..
[14:16] <Cycom> XD bow chicka bow wow
[14:16] <deany> card reader slot?
[14:16] <n1gh7m4r3> i take it this is the help channel lols
[14:16] <sileni> there is smartMedia/xD
[14:17] <n8tuserf> Flynsarmy -> are you sure? which command you used to check the route table?
[14:17] <sileni> compactFlash I/II/MD, SD/Mini/MMC/RS/Plus?Mobile , MS/PRO/Duo/PRO Duo
[14:17] <Cycom> sileni: in the SD slot, if it's an SD card.
[14:17] <n1gh7m4r3> route tables is this newbie help or advaced help? i havent even figured out how to install a theme yet
[14:18] <sileni> Cycom: how do i tell if it is an SD card. it just says transcend 2 GB
[14:18] <Flynsarmy> n8tuserf, right click on ethernet icon - edit connections - double click 'auto eth0' - ip v4 settings - routes
[14:18] <deany> that tmpfs tweak , how much ram does it use?
[14:18] <snek> n1gh7m4r3: this is help for all :)
[14:18] <n8tuserf> Flynsarmy -> nope, try   sudo  route -n   and compare the results again...
[14:18] <chumbo> ubottu, actualy i am using lampp its just i am used to call it xampp cuse i am on windows at school

[14:19] <chumbo> lol
[14:19] <AndrewMohawk> chumbo: lamp = linux apache mysql php
[14:19] <n8tuserf> chumbo -> you need to learn the concepts of client/server connectivity..
[14:20] <Web755> hi
[14:20] <knutwin> funkyHat: still there?
[14:20] <chumbo> n8tuserf, lol, yap i guess i do need some reading =)
[14:20] <Cycom> sileni: just stuff it in the slot it looks like it fits in.  don't force it.  if it goes in and reads, GREAT! if not, try a different one.
[14:20] <Web755> I have developed a website, cause i wanna make the world a better place.. and i really think it can make a change.. Can anyone help me with some suggestions to promote it ?
[14:21] <chumbo> AndrewMohawk, lol yeah yeah i knew that =P
[14:21] <Web755> I kid you not
[14:21] <knutwin> funkyHat: my video playback in banshee is flickering? what can i do against that? i dont want to disable compiz just to play a video
[14:21] <alarm> hello, which is the log file that keeps track of all installed/removed packages ?
[14:21] <Web755> it really can win the world.
[14:21] <Web755> but
[14:21] <AndrewMohawk> chumbo: ah ok, well then i guess u should rather call yours lamp
[14:21] <Web755> i just need some tips on how i can market sportkin
[14:21] <glitsj16> Web755: perhaps that more suited for #ubuntu-offtopic

[14:22] <Web755> you could be one of my employees.
[14:22] <deany> how much ram is set aside for tmpfs with this fstab line? tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0
[14:22] <Web755> is it jerry zhang ?
[14:22] <Web755> zhang yi ?
[14:22] <quibbler> Web755: this is a support channel ...such discussions are held in #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:22] <knutwin> does anybody know how to get banshee working perfect with video files?? the videos are flickering
[14:22] <archman> !skype
[14:22] <n8tuserf> deany -> i believd 64k but it auto expands
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> knutwin: do you have w64 / w32 codecsc?
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> knutwin: have you installed video drivers
[14:23] <notplus_M> So on a server of mine running Ubuntu, after the screen has locked if I put in my password, but it's wrong, it sits there saying "checking password" for about 2 hours before going back to the screensaver, at which point I can try reentering the password... but I'm not able to do anything with it for those 2 hours
[14:24] <knutwin> ActionParsnip: i have compiz enabled and i am using the ATI Propietary Driver
[14:24] <AndrewMohawk> n8tuserf: sorry didnt see your comment, the issue is that the jre hasnt completed installation and thus cannot start tomcat :/
[14:24] <n8tuserf> notplus_M -> your system is out or resources, you may have to press the OFF switch
[14:24] <zr0gee> n8tuserf: my iptable-rules stick on boot now - thx again :)
[14:25] <notplus_M> n8tuserf: this is a server...
[14:25] <aguitel> anyone use hp pavillion dv4-1212 ?
[14:25] <sileni> dang it is a hp mobile drive not SD... how am i going to get ubuntu on this now T_T
[14:25] <deany> knutwin, use the rubbish X11 output instead of xv , full screen is usless for me tho
[14:25] <knutwin> ActionParsnip: when i do "metacity --replace" the vidoe is fine but the rest looks crappy
[14:25] <deany> id rather have compiz off
[14:25] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> then complete the install so it can run properly
[14:25] <AndrewMohawk> yeah but i am trying to automate this
[14:25] <AndrewMohawk> this is the *last* command in my postinst
[14:25] <n8tuserf> notplus_M -> so? a server does not have an OFF switch?
[14:25] <AndrewMohawk> i dont want the end user to have to do anything
[14:25] <notplus_M> n8tuserf: it's not a good idea to just turn off a production server randomly...
[14:25] <CryptIce7> is there a way to download a package from the synaptic repository then transport the file to another computer and install it?
[14:26] <notplus_M> n8tuserf: I think our users would complain a lot
[14:26] <knutwin> deany: can i use the x11 output with compiz enabled?
[14:26] <n8tuserf> notplus_M -> i understand, but if its totally frozen? or you can still access the server some other ways?
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> knutwin: then ask in #compiz
[14:26] <knutwin> hehe
[14:26] <knutwin> :)
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> knutwin: compiz always breaks stuff
[14:26] <zenlunatic> CryptIce7, might have dependency problems on second machine
[14:26]  * ActionParsnip hates compiz
[14:26] <m_clement> hi
[14:26] <notplus_M> n8tuserf: we just can't log in from X
[14:26] <n8tuserf> notplus_M -> and having a system with not hot-backup is taking too much risk
[14:26] <notplus_M> n8tuserf: or rather, we can't unlock X
[14:26] <n8tuserf> notplus_M -> you can ssh in okay?
[14:27] <CryptIce7> zenlunatic: my dependencies should be fine
[14:27] <notplus_M> n8tuserf: haven't tried
[14:27] <defrysk> compiz is a pain
[14:27] <Lisimba> I have a computer called leo. If I do 'host leo' it returns 'leo has address (ip)', but when I do 'ping leo' it says 'ping: unknown host leo'. If I do 'ping (ip)' it works as expected. Any idea what's wrong?
[14:27] <n8tuserf> notplus_M -> you are getting paid to do this, its only proper if you pay someone else to help you repair this
[14:27] <zenlunatic> CryptIce7, you can manually download and install with dpkg -i package
[14:27] <knutwin> compiz is nice if you dont turn on the useless part
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> Lisimba: then the name is not getting translated usin DNS
[14:27] <knutwin> the cube for example
[14:27] <defrysk> knutwin, its totally useless
[14:27] <deany> knutwin, x11 driver in video player works.. just turn compiz off dude..
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> knutwin: what is the useless part?
[14:28] <Lisimba> ActionParsnip: how come host does get it?

[14:28] <n1gh7m4r3> anyone want to walk me through installing something? i googled but theres so much information everywhere, and some of the steps dont work
[14:28] <n8tuserf> m_clement -> your have a static ip address assigned to your server?
[14:28] <m_clement> yes
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> Lisimba: not sure, if you add an entry for the ip and hostname in /etc/hosts it will use that first to translate the name
[14:28] <defrysk> !ask | n1gh7m4r3
[14:28] <n8tuserf> !who | m_clement
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> Lisimba: make sure you make the leo system have a static ip
[14:28] <knutwin> i never used the compiz cube for a long time, but shadows and transparency are nice if your machine does not mind that
[14:29] <m_clement> ubottu: ok
[14:29] <emil_> hi
[14:29] <knutwin> i only have 2 desktops
[14:29] <knutwin> not 4
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> knutwin: KDE does that already ;) no need for stupid compiz
[14:29] <emil_> I have installed NX Free, and when I try to connect to other computer I got:
[14:29] <connar> HELLO
[14:29] <emil_> the authencity of host can't be established
[14:29] <emil_> what is this?
[14:29] <knutwin> ActionParsnip: im gnome lover
[14:29] <dnet5> semi
[14:30] <dnet5> haloo
[14:30] <connar> anyone here knows how to use protege?
[14:30] <visitor> hello everyone
[14:30] <jimcooncat> emil_: that's the ssh in it complaining, because it hasn't connected to that server before
[14:30] <m_clement> n8tuserf: the hotline told me that the server doesn't know it has to manage it
[14:30] <visitor> is anyone here
[14:31] <CryptIce7> is there a way to simply download the .deb package from synaptic?
[14:31] <jimcooncat> visitor: 1417 people are here!
[14:31] <visitor> ha
[14:31] <defrysk> CryptIce7, yes there is
[14:31] <vladuz976_> I recall there being a webapp that autogenerates a sources.list for ubuntu, anybody have the link?
[14:31] <visitor> so many people
[14:31] <quibbler> !ask | visitor
[14:31] <CryptIce7> defrysk: can you explain a method for doing this?
[14:32] <emil_> @jimcooncat: so that I need to do?
[14:32] <jimcooncat> emil_: when you see that, do you get an option to accept?
[14:32] <emil_> yes
[14:32] <defrysk> when you install a package the .deb file is in /var/cache/archives
[14:32] <m_clement> is there a file to modify on the web server when you point a domain name to it ???
[14:32] <glitsj16> CryptIce7: if you've set synaptic to keep the downloaded packages, you should be able to find it at /var/cache/apt/archives i believe .. copy it over to the other machine in that location and it should be picked up instead of downloaded again
[14:33] <defrysk> CryptIce7, when you install a package the .deb file is in /var/cache/archives
[14:33] <sileni> deany: hey are you still there?
[14:33] <jimcooncat> emil_: then do it, and double-check the files on the server to make sure it really is the computer you wanted to connect to. In the future, you probably won't get that message again.
[14:33] <defrysk> CryptIce7, also make sure to get the denedencies of course
[14:33] <defrysk> pependencies
[14:33] <emil_> yes, but that not secure right?
[14:33] <CryptIce7> thanks
[14:33] <deany> ye
[14:33] <defrysk> oh geez , its typo day
[14:34] <sileni>  pypo day?
[14:34] <jimcooncat> emil_: what's not secure?
[14:34] <sileni> deany: im downloading 8.10 desktop version .. are you sure there isn't any lighter version for netbooks?
[14:35] <deany> sileni, netbooks come loaded with similar apps.
[14:35] <Cycom> sileni: lighter? not really. there is a version for lpia (low power intel arch) but it's alternate install.
[14:35] <defrysk> sileni, xubuntu is lighter
[14:35] <deany> just remove what you dont want
[14:35] <jimcooncat> emil_: host key checking is there to make sure that when you connect, you're actually connected to the computer you wanted to connect to.
[14:35] <Naraht> n8tuserf, I guess I'm off to "repair" which at this point looks to involve me backing up my /home directory and completely reinstalling the OS.  gg.
[14:35] <deany> my mini 9 is comin with ubuntu 8.04
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> sileni: there are sometimes specific distros for the netbook you have
[14:36] <sileni> Cycom: i have hp mini 1000 with xp what would you do ><
[14:36] <emil_> ooo :) thanks you
[14:36] <emil_> :D
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> sileni: theres also Xubuntu you could use
[14:36] <sileni> ActionParsnip: have you heard of this netbook called hp mini 1000
[14:37] <Cycom> sileni: what I'm about to do. install ubuntu 8.04.1
[14:37] <Cycom> sileni: I have the same laptop.
[14:37] <sileni> Cycom: dude what are the specs?
[14:37] <Cycom> sileni: my only debate is between ubuntu or debian, but if you're fairly new to linux, I'd say stick with ubuntu.
[14:37] <Cycom> sileni: 1.6ghz atom N270 with HT, 1gb ram, 16gb ssd
[14:37] <quibbler> sileni: http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/29/hp-mini-1000-review-round-up/
[14:38] <sileni> Cycom: yep that is mine
[14:38] <Cycom> sileni: webcam?
[14:38] <sileni> Cycom: yes it has that too
[14:38] <sileni> Cycom: comes with a 2gb mobile drive
[14:39] <Cycom> sileni: is it really dark?
[14:39] <Cycom> the webcam that is.
[14:39] <sileni> Cycom: what do you mean?
[14:39] <Cycom> sileni: when you turn on the camera and look at yourself, is the camera really dark? like there's not enough light in the room?
[14:39] <sileni> Cycom: i haven't tried using the webcam, i need linux for university so trying to get that to work before i try other things
[14:39] <sileni> Cycom: i don't know how to even turn it on
[14:40] <sileni> Cycom: why are you downloaading 8.04 and not 8.10
[14:40] <Cycom> sileni: install ubuntu 8.04.1 from a flash drive.  then, update via ethernet.  your wireless will magically start working.
[14:40] <sileni> flashdrive?
[14:40] <sileni> i only have usb
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> sileni: http://ubuntu-mini-remix.crealabs.it/
[14:40] <sileni> Cycom: is that ok ?
[14:40] <Cycom> sileni: because 8.10 does something funny with wireless on NetworkManager
[14:40] <Cycom> sileni: same thing.  flash is the type of storage.  USB is the interface.
[14:40] <sileni> Cycom: ah you are awesome
[14:41] <Cycom> sileni: I know.
[14:41] <sileni> Cycom: can you give me link to 8.04?
[14:41] <Cycom> sileni: :) Just kidding.
[14:41] <defrysk> funny with wireless ?
[14:41] <deany> sileni, http://www.canonical.com/projects/ubuntu/unr
[14:41] <Cycom> sileni: do you have an existing ubuntu system?
[14:41] <dominic_bredoto> does anybody knows how to connect to VPN server using CLI ? Please help!
[14:41] <sileni> deany: yea thats the netbook remix i was talking about, but it seems i have to have 8.10 base installed and then i add on top of that ... seems like too many apps on a machine that is limited in resources
[14:42] <Cycom> defrysk: yeah. it shows signal strength when you connect to the wap from the dropdown menu, but it won't show signal strength in the tray icon. the graph is always empty.
[14:42] <sileni> Cycom: no the netbook only has windows xp, but this computer is running on ubuntu 8.10
[14:42] <defrysk> Cycom, i see
[14:42] <deany> sileni, take off what you dont want
[14:43] <sileni> ActionParsnip: that looks like it is for the pros.. knowing me i will defenitely screw something up when i go through that way
[14:43] <Cycom> sileni: if you go into system, administration on the ubuntu system, I think there's an option to create a USB boot device, yeah?
[14:43] <defrysk> Cycom, there is always wicd
[14:43] <sileni> Cycom: yes there is
[14:43] <Cycom> defrysk: wicd?
[14:43] <defrysk> yes
[14:43] <Cycom> sileni: be forwarned, that will WIPE the flash drive.
[14:43] <defrysk> networkmanager without gnome deps
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> sileni: its just a minimal ubuntu, if you want low footprint install xubuntu
[14:43] <sileni> Cycom: yea i don't care about the USB stick
[14:44] <bejos> does anyone have sis 672 vga driver for ubuntu 8.10?
[14:44] <bejos> hi friend....
[14:44] <dominic_bredoto> does anybody knows how to connect to VPN server using CLI ? Please help!
[14:44] <Cycom> sileni: download the 8.04.1 from www.ubuntu.com.  go to the "get ubuntu" link, click "download now", and change the version (under Choose a version) to 8.04 LTS.
[14:45] <C-S-B> im running ubuntu netbook remix on my aspire one and love it!
[14:45] <Cycom> sileni: pick a mirror and GO! :)
[14:45] <sileni> Cycom: thank you so much man
[14:45] <Cycom> sileni: once that's done, run the USB boot creator thingy and pick the iso you just downloaded as the source.
[14:46] <Cycom> sileni: my pleasure. you'll have to do some tweaking to get audio working right, there's a forum post about it.
[14:46] <sileni> Cycom: oh o k
[14:46] <sybariten> i just installed xorg, gdm and xfce on an x-less machine
[14:46] <qO_Op> BYE
[14:46] <qO_Op> EXIT
[14:46] <sileni> Cycom: i noticed that netbook has broadcom wireless.. that will always give me problems. i guess i have to use ndiswrapper?/
[14:46] <sybariten> but i was surprised to find that i couldnt see any easy way of starting a terminal from xfce....
[14:46] <armence> Hi all, I wanted to know, is there a way for someone without administrative privileges to change their own password? (without the command line preferably)
[14:46] <sybariten> is this normal?
[14:46] <Web755> I just need everyone here to signup to sportkin. It will take 1 minute to signup..
[14:46] <Web755> Am i crazy ?
[14:47] <C-S-B> sileni, use b43-should be able to use monitor mode as well then
[14:47] <hippychick> i have an eeepc 701 running eeeubuntu, my wireless on/off function key doesnt work, and all the help guides i have found so far are for the 901 or later
[14:47] <deany> sileni, my dell now is broadcoma and works, the mini will most likely be broadcom too, it works
[14:47] <Web755> its hosted on linux if you are asking the relevance :)
[14:47] <sileni> deany: oo ok
[14:47] <dominic_bredoto> does anybody knows how to connect to VPN server using CLI ? Please help!
[14:47] <Cycom> sileni: nope, once you update, it installs the broadcom driver
[14:47] <bejos> please help me... i'm having problem with my display......
[14:47] <quibbler> !ot | Web755
[14:47] <Cycom> sileni: you DO need a wired internet connection initially.
[14:47] <deany> just need the updated kernel
[14:48] <lrojas> hi guys
[14:48] <NativeAngels> anyone got any idea where ubuntu put rndc logs ?
[14:48] <gnujm> hey
[14:48] <sileni> deany: how do i update the kernel?
[14:48] <deany> update manager will do it
[14:48] <Cycom> sileni: but once you do your first upgrade, the wl driver will work fine (unless you have WPA, iirc)
[14:48] <quibbler> Web755: do not pm me
[14:48] <deany> dist-upgrade if you use apt-get
[14:48] <sileni> Cycom: WPA is encryption right?
[14:48] <Web755> ok
[14:48] <Web755> sure..
[14:48] <C-S-B> deany, sileni  Ubuntu installs STA wl driver for Broadcom but if you can use b43 do, works great
[14:48] <Cycom> sileni: just run updates like you normally would, when the little icon shows up.
[14:48] <lrojas> in order to have a LAMP stack running, other than "sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client" what other steps need i take ?
[14:48] <Web755> i will keep it on the topic..
[14:48] <Cycom> sileni: yeah, for wireless.
[14:48] <opera> !rss
[14:49] <Web755> I am thinking of implimenting VOIP into Sportkin.. so people can send messaged and talk via VOIP..
[14:49] <Joran> got an odd one on an intrepid-based system - the rtl8185 card in it, detected by rtl8180 driver doesn't connect to wpa2 at all... so I used ndiswrapper, and now wicd will connect but networkmanager doesn't... how the heck can they give different results, they both use wpa_supplicant right?
[14:49] <Web755> why don't other websites do this ?
[14:49] <sileni> C-S-B: b43 is in the regular updates for ubuntu?
[14:49] <deany> it appears in hardware drivers thing after you update
[14:49] <DarkKnight> hey my sound was working fine till today morning...dont know why now i am not ble to hear any sound....can anyone help
[14:49] <Web755> bandwidth ?
[14:49] <sileni> DarkKnight: its earwax.. your computer is fine!
[14:50] <C-S-B> sileni, you'll need to install b43-cutter its in the repositry
[14:50] <sileni> C-S-B: oh ok
[14:50] <sileni> C-S-B: i shall do that if it fixes all the problems :-D
[14:50] <DarkKnight> hey my sound was working fine till today morning...dont know why now i am not ble to hear any sound....can anyone help me get it working
[14:50] <Cycom> DarkKnight: check your volume settings.
[14:50] <opera> who can tell me somthing about"RSS  feed readers"
[14:50] <bejos> does anyone have sis 672 vga driver for ubuntu 8.10?
[14:51] <C-S-B> sileni, let me know if you want help with it. :)
[14:51] <Cycom> DarkKnight: master is the one controlled by your hotkeys and such, but if something strange happened, one of the other volume settings might've gotten changed.
[14:51] <Jeruvy> !hcl | bejos
[14:51] <SilverVVolf> I am trying to delete a directory. tried rm <directory> and it did not work. I receive the response No such file or directory.
[14:52] <Cycom> C-S-B: wait, does networkmanager work normally with b43?
[14:52] <Joran> SilverVVolf: spaces in the name?
[14:52] <C-S-B> SilverVVolf, sure your dir exist?
[14:52] <Joran> Cycom: yup
[14:52] <Cycom> C-S-B: and I thought b43 didn't work with the BCM4312.
[14:52] <C-S-B> Cycom, yes, i'm using both now
[14:52] <SilverVVolf> i use the ls command and the file is there.
[14:52] <dominic_bredoto> Does anyone knows how to configure client-vpn connection fom CLI? <-------------------------
[14:52] <Cycom> C-S-B: \o/ WOO! I'm installing 8.10 then, see how that goes. wl isn't that great.
[14:52] <opera> noman knows about rss feed readers?
[14:52] <Cycom> C-S-B: wait, does it have monitor mode?!
[14:52] <C-S-B> Cycom, i dont know about 4312, i think I have 4311
[14:53] <Joran> opera: I use liferea
[14:53] <sileni> SilverVVolf: you did ./ or gave the absolute path?
[14:53] <quibbler> SilverVVolf: do you have permission
[14:53] <C-S-B> b43 is the only broadcom driver to support monitor mode
[14:53] <sileni> quibbler: i thought if he didn't have permission it would say something like " Permission denied"
[14:53] <opera> joran:can you tell me what is rss ?
[14:53] <Joran> SilverVVolf: I repeat, does it have spaces in the filename?
[14:53] <Cycom> C-S-B: HOORAY!
[14:54] <SilverVVolf> no
[14:54] <Cycom> 8.10 here I come!
[14:54] <sileni> Cycom: what happend?
[14:54] <Cycom> sileni: I'd still stick with 8.04.1 on your netbook.
[14:54] <SilverVVolf> I tried to install Foxit reader. Did not work so I am trying to delete the files and directory so I can star over.
[14:54] <Cycom> sileni: the driver that I thought didn't work on my hardware does, and so I suspect network manager will work too.  I want 8.10 for a few extra features.
[14:55] <Joran> opera: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=rss
[14:55] <erUSUL> !appdb
[14:55] <sileni> Cycom: you are dualbooting xp and ubuntu now right?
[14:55] <cyzie> AngryElf,
[14:55] <Cycom> sileni: nah, I installed XP to at least give it a fair shot.  It's slow.  REALLY slow. Outlook has already crashed twice.  I'm so done.
[14:55] <C-S-B> Cycom, im on 8.10 with b43 on a 4311 using monitor mode, ive cracked multiple wep networks
[14:55] <deany> 8.10 runs fine on netbook.. well lot of people are using it
[14:56] <sileni> C-S-B: dang i want some reassuring soul that dual boots xp and ubuntu on hp mini 1000 ><
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> i'd use puppy on a netbook, or DSL
[14:56] <C-S-B> sileni, im on an aspire one
[14:56] <Cycom> C-S-B: I'm not sure I would admit that :)
[14:57] <Joran> I use mint on my eee900
[14:57] <Cycom> sileni: meh. dual booting is fine.  I'm just tired of XP.

[14:57] <old> how to rename a drive in ubuntu? (it's an NTFS format)
[14:57] <gth> t
[14:57] <armence> Is there a way for non-administrators to change their own password in ubuntu?
[14:57] <Joran> old: ntfslabel?
[14:57] <Cycom> sileni: also, you have like 16gb drive... just take the plunge and go linux :)
[14:57] <Joran> armence: passwd ?
[14:58] <gth> linux
[14:58] <armence> Joran: Is there a non-command line way to do it?
[14:58] <sileni> Cycom: i need both windows and linux prefereably because some of my classes use windows software next semester
[14:58] <ikonia> Joran: mint is not supported here
[14:58] <old> Joran: yes.. it took the drive out of a win xp machine... now I would like to rename it...
[14:58] <deany> according to my "friend" you should only use linux for changing your desktop environment and nothing else..basically he sayin its not good for anythng... hmm, not learnt anythng from that webpage I sent him while he was using I.E lol
[14:58] <C-S-B> Cycom, The 802.11a part of the 4309 and 4312 is not supported.
[14:58] <ikonia> Joran: please use the mint support resources, this is for ubuntu only
[14:58] <Joran> ikonia: was I asking for mint support?
[14:58] <ikonia> Joran: oh, I thought you where
[14:58] <gnujm> No
[14:58] <ikonia> Joran: my apologies
[14:58] <Cycom> sileni: blech. well, what I'd do in your case is buy a nice big SDHC card and use that as a second drive.
[14:59] <Cycom> sileni: like 16gb.  you can get em for $30-$100.
[14:59] <gnujm> ikonia: he was just sayin that he is usin it on his eee
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> sileni: could run virtualbox in seamless mode. Not sure its up to it but could be a chuckle
[14:59] <Cycom> sileni: install windows on that, and then point grub at it :0
[14:59] <ikonia> gnujm: yes, I can see that, my mistake
[14:59] <opera> !ekiga
[14:59] <Joran> besides, mint is a ubuntu derivative, if it's a kernel or ubuntu-packaged app there's no need to be fascist and not give support
[14:59] <Jeruvy> armence: System ->Admin -> Users
[14:59] <Cycom> ActionParsnip: it's a 1.6ghz atom :) I think that might be a TITCH slow.
[14:59] <sajid_solangi> !ekiga
[14:59] <gth> :
[14:59] <gldtn> thanks to the guy that was helping me um the pulseaudio and mpd
[14:59] <ikonia> Joran: it's the channels policy, but as you're not looking for support it was %100 my mistake
[15:00] <C-S-B> virtualbox/vmware have asurprisingly small over head
[15:00] <armence> Jeruvy: It gives an error if you are not an administrator
[15:00] <C-S-B> Cycom, did you see my message about 4312 b43 support?
[15:00] <deany> yup.. ive used vmware on a p3-1gig before
[15:00] <old> joran: any ideas?
[15:00] <Joran> ikonia: must remember to do what you have to do when you ring isp support lines and pretend I'm running something other than I am... it's really bad to have to do that here
[15:00] <Cycom> C-S-B: yeah, I don't have an A network anyhow.
[15:01] <C-S-B> Cycom, good, get installing then ;)
[15:01] <Joran> old: ntfslabel is the command you need
[15:01] <Jeruvy> armence: those are the only two ways to do it.
[15:01] <ikonia> Joran: that doesn't change anything, but as I said the mistake was %101 mine
[15:01] <lrojas> is there any page that has the steps to make ubunutu desktop work as a server? i need apache, php and mysql
[15:01] <Cycom> C-S-B: in fact, lspci just says "802.11b/g" anyhow with the wl driver.
[15:01] <Pici> !lamp | lrojas
[15:01] <old> joran: what is the syntax to use?
[15:01] <armence> Jeruvy: OK, I guess that means I have to teach users some basic command line... oh well
[15:02] <Cycom> C-S-B: skip the "with the wl driver" part.  two lines became one :)
[15:02] <torkel_> how is ubuntu's out of box experience with isdn?
[15:02] <Jeruvy> lrojas: if you are using the server install, it has a LAMP install by default.
[15:02] <deany> lrojas, sudo tasksel install lamp-server
[15:02] <liamste000001> Soes anyone know how to connect to the ubuntu.com ftp server on vista?
[15:02] <Joran> old: "man ntfslabel" or http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ntfslabel
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> Cycom: true but it would run, just badly
[15:02] <lrojas> i am using the client install, ubuntu desktop
[15:03] <C-S-B> Cycom, are you ok installing b43 then?
[15:03] <sileni> georgia tech has such good server.. 700 kbps  ubuntu 8.04 at 86 pct already
[15:03] <old> joran: thanks.
[15:03] <Cycom> C-S-B: dude, I ran gentoo for a while.  I will be very ashamed if I can't follow the manual :)
[15:03] <lrojas> also, is there any way to add KDE to my install or if i wanted to use KDE did i absolutely need to get kubuntu ?
[15:03] <Joran> so does anyone know the difference between the way wicd does wpa2 and the way networkmanager does wpa2?
[15:03] <Cycom> C-S-B: like "three years" a while.
[15:03] <erUSUL> liamste000001: use any ftp client for windows

[15:04] <liamste000001> but it gave an error
[15:04] <ikonia> liamste000001: ftp server is an ftp server - not matter the OS
[15:04] <ButterflyOfFire> Hello :)
[15:04] <Joran> I'm trying to work out why the two managers give different results connecting to the same network on the same hardware :(
[15:05] <liamste000001> "The handle is invalid..."
[15:05] <ikonia> liamste000001: what ftp server are you trying to connect to ?
[15:05] <liamste000001> Is there a username and password?
[15:05] <ikonia> liamste000001: what ftp server are you trying to connect to ?
[15:05] <liamste000001> the ftp.ubuntu.com
[15:05] <liamste000001> not in a web browser
[15:06] <ButterflyOfFire> I have a to setup mode 1280x1024 on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope (The driver is working fine but cannot get the full mode)
[15:06] <corp> hello. i'm running ubuntu intrepid. when i use a hostname to ping a remote host, the replies display very slowly. why might this be?
[15:06] <ikonia> liamste000001: works fine with anonymous user
[15:06] <ButterflyOfFire> can you help ?
[15:06] <corp> if i ping using an IP address, it works fine.
[15:06] <C-S-B> Cycom, gentoo is badboy- I had a system for a while ran beautifully. I reckon you could get an awesome gentoo install on a netbook optimised to the processor
[15:06] <ikonia> ButterflyOfFire: jaunty support is in #ubuntu+1
[15:06] <ButterflyOfFire> thanks ikonia ;)
[15:06] <liamste000001> Weird...
[15:07] <liamste000001> I am running vista and it fails...
[15:07] <Cycom> C-S-B: yeah, three weeks from now :)
[15:07] <sileni> wah my usb stick used to hold 1 GB but now it only holds 64 mb o-0?
[15:07] <Joran> meh, wouldn't surprise me if vista had ftp.ubuntu.com blacklisted as an "unsafe destination"
[15:07] <sileni> out of that 64 mb 32 is already filled up but when i check on it there is nothing in there
[15:07] <ikonia> liamste000001: what client are you using
[15:07] <Cycom> sileni: download and install gparted
[15:07] <C-S-B> Cycom, also, i founf that I had to both rmmod wl / modprobe b43 and deactivate STA driver from the hardware drivers menu to get the driver to kick in
[15:07] <evantandersen> about 15% of the time i resume from sleep on my macbook, the trackpad does not work. I have to reload the module with "sudo modprobe -r appletouch" then it will work. I have added a shell scipt to the /etc/pm/sleep.d/ directory, and no dice. I have added modprobe to the sudoers file and can confirm that it will work because in terminal i can type sudo modprobe and it does not ask for password. What should
[15:08] <evantandersen> if i do?
[15:08] <Cycom> sileni: fire it up as root, and check the partitions.
[15:08] <liamste000001> Vista's built in mounter
[15:08] <ikonia> liamste000001: mounter ???
[15:08] <ikonia> liamste000001: I thought you where using an ftp client ?
[15:08] <deany> sileni, is that the cells dying ?
[15:08] <ikonia> liamste000001: actually try ftping to the site, see if that works
[15:08] <liamste000001> Client...
[15:08] <Cycom> C-S-B: yay /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist?
[15:09] <liamste000001> tried that in IE, works, in explorer, fail
[15:09] <C-S-B> Cycom, i didnt need to blacklist.
[15:09] <Cycom> C-S-B: you know what I always blacklist? PCSPKR
[15:09] <Joran> liamste000001: windows' ftp client is the one you get if you type ftp at the cmd prompt
[15:10] <Joran> liamste000001: explorer is not an ftp client
[15:10] <Cycom> C-S-B: that thing is SOOOO annoying, especially on Dells, I've found.  It sounds like a truck's backup tone.
[15:10] <sileni> deany: i guess the gparted only sees 94 mb also
[15:10] <cmdblock> how tu use usenet in ubntu,it need outlook
[15:10] <sileni> C-S-B: what did you want me to see with gparted?
[15:10] <Boohbah> cmdblock: get a newsreader
[15:10] <sileni> Cycom: i meant you , not C-S-B
[15:10] <sileni> ><
[15:11] <erUSUL> cmdblock: there are many newsreaders for linux just use one of them
[15:11] <C-S-B> sileni, gparted? i didnt mention it...did i ?
[15:11] <sileni> C-S-B: no it was Cycom sorry
[15:11] <erUSUL> liamste000001: just download and use filezilla is a good free ftp client for windows and linux
[15:11] <sileni> dang i guess i need to find another usb stick
[15:11] <DOa> how do i install a bin file?
[15:11] <dotblank> !log
[15:12] <Joran> so... noone's ever had the situation where wicd works and networkmanager doesn't?
[15:12] <danbhfive_jaunty> Joran: I have, why?
[15:12] <storbeck> DOa: chmod +x file.bin - then run it
[15:12] <karisters> Dear masters =) can you please help me with advice. I recently made a mistake and tried at first to compile wine by hands. The problem is that after compilation the alsa drivers have been broken and I can no longer adjust sound volume. I hear sound, but its very quiet
[15:12] <DOa> ok thx
[15:13] <DOa> chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin
[15:13] <Joran> danbhfive_jaunty: I'm just trying to work out why 'cos wicd loses the connection but doesn't notice, which nm never seemed to do, so I'd rather use nm
[15:13] <storbeck> DOa: Not in IRC... in a terminal
[15:13] <danbhfive_jaunty> Joran: I thought you said wicd works, and nm doesnt?
[15:13] <DOa> i know that, but when i did type that nothing did happen?
[15:14] <Joran> yeah, on this particular hardware, which is the problem
[15:14] <sileni> DOa: do you know of a band called foo fighters?
[15:14] <storbeck> DOa: Nothing is supposed to happen. Now run the .bin file like you would run a program
[15:14] <Cycom> C-S-B: think I should go all in and install 9.04?
[15:14] <danbhfive_jaunty> Joran: or more to the point, are you running intrepid, with an atheros wifi card?
[15:14] <spozen> just got a tip about a application called volwheel but i cant find it in the repos?
[15:14] <Joran> danbhfive_jaunty: nm works fine on all my other hardware, just not this one
[15:14] <DOa> ok
[15:15] <Joran> danbhfive_jaunty: intrepid, rtl8185
[15:15] <ubuntu_fan> hi guys
[15:15] <C-S-B> Cycom, no
[15:15] <C-S-B> ;)
[15:15] <ubuntu_fan> where can i find any info about kde and gnome
[15:15] <DOa> nothing happen ;(
[15:15] <Cycom> C-S-B: why not?
[15:15] <ubuntu_fan> is there any specific chatroom for it?
[15:15] <storbeck> ubuntu_fan: #kde and #gnome
[15:15] <spozen> any one here using volwheel?
[15:15] <sileni> Cycom: wha tdid you want me to do with gparted?
[15:15] <C-S-B> Cycom, its all beta or alpha, wait a month or so till its released
[15:16] <Cycom> C-S-B: yeah, I know it's beta or alpha. I'm ok with that.  I have a mini9 too.
[15:16] <danbhfive_jaunty> Joran: well, I was gona suggest linux-backports-modules, aka LBM.  You could try that anyway
[15:16] <emil_> Do I need ssh package installed to use NX Free?
[15:16] <Cycom> ooh, maybe what I'll do is put 8.10 on the HP and 9.04 on the dell!
[15:16] <ubuntu_fan> ah thanks a lot storbeck :)
[15:16] <Cycom> \o/ solution!
[15:17] <Joran> danbhfive_jaunty: I'm sure it's something in the wpa2 implementation in the card/driver, like it only takes hex sets or similar.
[15:17] <Cycom> sileni: sorry, look at the partitions of the flash drive
[15:17] <istvan_> is there a tool out there for tutorial makers such as myself where in a small window it will put the mouse button used, or the key just pressed?
[15:17] <Cycom> sileni: probably /dev/sdb, unless you have more than one hard drive in the 8.10 machine.
[15:17] <karisters> hey fellows, can someone point me to the right article or howto?
[15:17] <danbhfive_jaunty> Cycom: using separate partitions is also a method
[15:17] <funkyHat> Cycom: if you are comfortable with using the command line to fix your system if it goes wrong, or with reinstalling, then sure install 9.04 (not saying it will break, just that it's more likely to at the moment)
[15:17] <Joran> danbhfive_jaunty: I just wish I could figure out the specifics so I could properly identify the bug
[15:17] <sileni> Cycom: there are no parittions
[15:17] <Cycom> funkyHat: I ran 8.10 when it was alpha too.  I have several computers.
[15:18] <Cycom> sileni: on sdb? none? not even one big one?
[15:18] <sileni> Cycom: i remember long time ago i did something called format and it decreased the size from 1 gb to 94 mb
[15:18] <Cycom> sileni: does it show as the right size? 4gb?
[15:18] <sileni> Cycom: no it shows 94 mb
[15:18] <C-S-B> Cycom, its so clse to final, id wait and stick with 8.10
[15:18] <funkyHat> Cycom: fair enough then :).
[15:18] <danbhfive_jaunty> Joran: well, you should probably file a bug report on launchpad.  That will probably work better than here
[15:18] <Joran> !LBM
[15:18] <Cycom> C-S-B: like I said though, I have a mini 9 with almost identical hardware.  I'm going to use that for my alpha/beta laptop.
[15:18] <Joran> ubottu, well what use are you? ;-)
[15:19] <Cycom> sileni: huh... it shows the entire bar filled up, and shows it as 94mb?
[15:19] <Cycom> there's no little slice of green and then the big gray unpartitioned space?
[15:19] <sileni> Cycom: i delted everything and it says one big grey bar that says unallocated space
[15:19] <emil_> Do I need ssh package installed to use NX Free?
[15:20] <xukun> I really desperately need your help. I have a new sony lcd tv connected to a media center pc, i,m using dvi-hdm everything works fine except I get "Unsupported audio signal check your ouput device" in windows visa get no message.
[15:20] <bgupta> Hi does anyone know how to get ahold of the organizers for Ubuntu Developer Summits?
[15:20] <Cycom> sileni: click apply and leave it like that then.
[15:20] <sileni> Cycom: yea i did
[15:20] <Cycom> we'll see what the USB boot device creator says about it.
[15:20] <bening> y
[15:20] <sileni> Cycom: so i should just find other means of getting ubuntu ><
[15:20] <Cycom> it should pick up the whole drive and say you need to format. we'll see.
[15:20] <benste> did someone manage to connect a TI Voyage 200 with ubuntu through USB? using tilp ?
[15:20] <Cycom> sileni: nah, it's fine.
[15:20] <sileni> Cycom: it says usb is not big enough for 8.04
[15:20] <danbhfive_jaunty> !uds > bgupta is this good
[15:21] <Cycom> sileni: still?
[15:21] <sileni> Cycom: let me check
[15:21] <Cycom> I'd just go and buy a new flash drive.
[15:21] <Cycom> well, if this doesn't work. check it agian.
[15:21] <deany> sileni, too many write cycles :)
[15:21] <Cycom> it should say it needs to format it.
[15:21] <aguitel> anyone use hp pavillion dv4-1212 ?
[15:21] <danbhfive_jaunty> !uds > bgupta
[15:21] <Cycom> deany: unlikely.
[15:21] <sileni> Cycom: yea it says too small for 8.04
[15:21] <fabiobassa1> good evening room
[15:22] <Cycom> sileni: yeah, I think the flash drive may be kaput. I'd buy another one.
[15:22] <Pici> bgupta: What kind of contacts are you looking for?
[15:22] <Cycom> wait, what about that 2gb SD card you have?
[15:22] <Cycom> does THAt have anything on it?
[15:22] <etax> italia?
[15:22] <Pici> !it | etax
[15:22] <sileni> Cycom: no it does not have anything, and i don't think it is a SD card  i was talking about the hp mini drive that comes with hp mini
[15:22] <deany> sileni, did you error check i
[15:22] <sileni> Cycom: i didn't know the difference between SD cards and hp mini drive
[15:22] <deany> it
[15:22] <hechu> !cn
[15:22] <sileni> deany:  error check waht ?
[15:22] <funkyHat> :/ the handbrake-ubuntu ppa key doesn't seem to be working properly
[15:22] <sileni> what*
[15:22] <Cycom> sileni: hp mini drive?
[15:23] <sileni> Cycom: yea didn't you get it ?
[15:23] <sileni> Cycom: the 2gb one
[15:23] <Cycom> sileni: ...no...
[15:23] <Cycom> sileni: all I got was the 16gb ssd...
[15:23] <sileni> Cycom: are you sure.. its easy to miss it since it is so small and comes in a small ziplock bag
[15:24] <bgupta> Pici: I am a member of the NYC DebConf10 local team (summer 2010) and have been asked to liaise with a number of conference organizers and work to see if we can avoid conflicting dates.
[15:24] <Cycom> sileni: what does it say on it?
[15:24] <sileni> Cycom: transcend 2 GB
[15:24] <Cycom> k. hold on.
[15:24] <Kartagis> hello. I have a script that umounts my samba shares at poweroff, but it seems thet are not umounted. any ideas?
[15:24] <panesar_sandeep> !samba
[15:24] <bgupta> Pici: Email would probably be best
[15:24] <Joran> danbhfive_jaunty: is linux-backports-modules not in the intrepid backports repo? :S
[15:25] <xukun> anybody?
[15:25] <Cycom> sileni: NO WAI!
[15:25] <Dreamglider> Good day again. After doing gpart /dev/sdc on my disk i get this output -> http://pastebin.com/d5aea5905  It found the ext and swap for ubuntu and two other partitions, How can i get the data of the partition ?
[15:25] <sileni> Cycom: what?
[15:25] <Cycom> sileni: yeah, that's a usb drive mano.
[15:25] <danbhfive_jaunty> Joran: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic
[15:25] <sileni> Cycom: mano ?
[15:25] <Cycom> sileni: I missed mine too. That's. Freaking. Awesome.
[15:25] <panesar_sandeep> !backports
[15:25] <ubufan> hi all
[15:25] <Cycom> sileni: or womano XD
[15:25] <ffbb> i have a file /dev/input/js0, which gives events from a graphics tablet. it is of the same type as event* files there, but doesn't get hotplugged as a mouse or whatever like event*. it works fine as a "joystick" in some games. that read the file directly  what to do to get it control my x mouse?
[15:25] <ubufan> ,
[15:25] <sileni> ohh man
[15:25] <panesar_sandeep> !packaging
[15:26] <Pici> bgupta: You'll probably want to get in contact with Jono Bacon, hes the Ubuntu Community Manager https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JonoBacon
[15:26] <sileni> Cycom: so i can use this to load ubuntu?
[15:26] <Cycom> sileni: indeed you can!
[15:26] <Joran> thanks guys
[15:26] <sileni> Cycom: i don't know where to stick it
[15:26] <Cycom> it fits in a standard USB port :)
[15:26] <sileni> oh
[15:26] <Cycom> sileni: it looks unusual, but it's really just a SUPER TINY USB FLASH DRIVE!
[15:26] <Cycom> sileni: also, you just made my day.
[15:26] <C-S-B> although you can stick it many places lol
[15:27] <sileni> Cycom: oh my it fits!
[15:27] <sileni> Cycom: that is awesome!
[15:27] <Cycom> sileni: ALSO! ALSO this is even better. If you look on the right side of your mini, there is a little panel about, oh, 1" from the back of the display.
[15:27] <C-S-B> Cycom, have you just found a new toy?
[15:27] <Cycom> sileni: the drive fits inside of there.
[15:27] <sileni> Cycom: .. i can burn the iso now .. install and then i can delete the ISO to have 2 GB space again right?
[15:27] <Cycom> C-S-B: a new toy that CAME with the netbook.
[15:27] <Cycom> sileni: indeed you can!
[15:27] <sileni> Cycom: yea i figured that out last night
[15:27] <yadu_> Hi,all
[15:28] <dotblank> yadu_: hi
[15:28] <Cycom> sileni: I am DELIGHTED!
[15:28] <C-S-B> Cycom, where was it?
[15:28] <Cycom> sileni: actually, it's not "burning and iso" per se, it's more copying files to a flash drive and then making it bootable
[15:28] <yadu_> dotblank, it seems that i cant connect my lap to my friends via wifi
[15:28] <Cycom> C-S-B: inside the box, underneath all the packaging. HIDDEN!
[15:28] <sileni> what do i do for the when starting up from this disk documents will be stored in ... and there is like extra space on the disk or discard on shutdown
[15:28] <yadu_> dotblank, both of us are running ubuntu 8.10
[15:29] <dotblank> yadu_: Have you gotten wireless to function before? and on an encrypted network?
[15:29] <Cycom> sileni: discard on shutdown.
[15:29] <sileni> Cycom: thank you its working now
[15:29] <yadu_> no i haven't
[15:29] <sileni> Cycom: i thought it was SD stuff cause it was so small.. but didn't know it was USB
[15:29] <Cycom> sileni: np :) Thank YOU! I probably woulda thrown the little thing away!
[15:29] <yadu_> and i have not tried an encrypted network
[15:29] <dotblank> !past
[15:29] <Cycom> sileni: never knowing of its existance!
[15:29] <sileni> Cycom: oh don't throw away 2 GB its so pecious ><
[15:29] <sileni> precious*
[15:29] <dotblank> !paste
[15:29] <funkyHat> yadu_: are you connecting to a wireless access point, or are you trying to connect directly to your friend's computer?
[15:29] <weasteam> great, here I am
[15:30] <Cycom> sileni: It's freaking AWESOME!
[15:30] <dotblank> yadu_: can you past the output from lspci, ifconfig -a and iwconfig into http://paste.ubuntu.com
[15:31] <yadu_> dotblank, should i paste it there?
[15:31] <ffbb> anyone? how to get to udev/hal/i-wouldn't-ask-if-i-knew to handle things that end up as /dev/input/js* files like /dev/input/event* on 8.10
[15:31] <dotblank> yadu_: then paste the link it gives you here
[15:31] <deany> is 1gig enough for usb flash to install from
[15:31] <weasteam> hin_Spage, anyone familiar with the "print Location" to direct a URL in perl?
[15:31] <Cycom> sileni: when it's done, you might have to run "install-mbr /dev/<name of disk>" from the command line, where <name of disk> is the device name of the flash drive.
[15:32] <funkyHat> deany: yes
[15:32] <dajxd1> I've just installed ubuntu yesterday and cannot get any videos to play in VLC or movie player- the application just closes.  Any ideas?
[15:32] <yadu_> dotblank, its coming
[15:32] <Cycom> dajxd1: ATI video card?
[15:32] <sileni> Cycom: it just finished.. should i run it ?
[15:32] <yadu_> i'm tryin to connect with a friends computer , funkyhat
[15:32] <dajxd1> Cycom: Yes, it is.
[15:32] <Cycom> sileni: try booting first without. if it doesn't work, then run it.
[15:32] <sileni> ok
[15:32] <Cycom> dajxd1: running compi?
[15:32] <weasteam> great, Do you know how to direct one URL into a special frame?
[15:32] <Cycom> compiz*
[15:32] <sileni> Cycom: you can help me with parititoning when ubuntu comes up ?
[15:32] <Cycom> sileni: sure, but ubuntu does most of it for you :)
[15:33] <dajxd1> Cycom: I don't believe so.
[15:33] <cmdblock> i used mew.el to send and receive my email,now it can get email from pop server,but it can't send my email.who can tell me why?
[15:33] <Cycom> dajxd1: do your menus do neat things like fade?
[15:33] <deany> Cycom, doesnt usb-creator make it bootable?
[15:33] <dajxd1> Cycom: yyep,  Guess I am then?
[15:33] <storbeck> dajxd1: metacity --replace
[15:33] <Cycom> deany: should, but doesn't always.
[15:33] <Cycom> dajxd1: indeed you are.
[15:33] <Cycom> storbeck: no.
[15:34] <Cycom> dajxd1: here's the deal: there's an issue with the default ATI setup and video playback.  the good news is that there is a really easy fix.
[15:34] <yadu_> dotblank, i have pasted it there
[15:34] <deany> think i`m gonna use unetbootin when i make one
[15:34] <dotblank> yadu_: link?
[15:34] <ellla> Question: I have ubuntu on my Everex Cloudbook.  It updated itself the other day and now it boots to a blue screen where it runs tests and it won't move past that. Any ideas to fix it?
[15:34] <black9ice> anyway to point me in the right direction of what I would need to do to grab email from 3 different pop accounts on a server in my basement for the family and then filter all those emails for spam bad forgien IP's and use either a mail client on windows machines so the users can check the accounts?
[15:34] <hmw> On a multi Linux boot, where would you place shared files in the file system?
[15:34] <sileni> Cycom: how long do you think this netbook would last ?
[15:34] <yadu_> dotblank, http://paste.ubuntu.com/126762/
[15:34] <weasteam> test
[15:34] <dajxd1> Cycom: Sounds good to me- should I browse around for a fix or is it easy for you to relate it here?
[15:34] <Cycom> sileni: dunno, years?
[15:35] <Cycom> dajxd1: I was googling it up to make sure :)
[15:35] <yadu_> dotblank, http://paste.ubuntu.com/126761/
[15:35] <Cycom> dajxd1: know what Xorg.conf is?
[15:35] <GeorgeA> I removed the package sendmail, however for some reason there's still an executable in /etc/init.d/ called sendmail, does it have anything to do with exim4? or are these files not supposed to be there/
[15:35] <dotblank> yadu_: can you also do lspci?
[15:35] <dajxd1> Cycom: barely, but yes.
[15:35] <storbeck> black9ice: What kind of mail structure is it?
[15:35] <cmdblock> i used mew.el to send and receive my email,now it can get email from pop server,but it can't send my email.who can tell me why?
[15:35] <yadu_> dotblank, you got it i hope
[15:35] <dotblank> nope sorry
[15:35] <yadu_> dotblank, i have sent the one with lpsci too
[15:36] <dajxd1> Cycom: I've got it open now
[15:36] <Cycom> dajxd1: ok, what you need to do is add the line Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" as shown https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/269357 < here
[15:36] <dotblank> yadu_: link to that one? you can paste more then one in the same text box
[15:36] <yadu_> ok
[15:36] <yadu_> its coming
[15:36] <dajxd1> Cycom: beautiful, thank you
[15:36] <yadu_> i'll send u once more
[15:36] <Cycom> add it under the Section "Device" below Identifier "Configured Video Device"
[15:36] <Cycom> dajxd1: once that's done, restart X, and watch your videos :)
[15:36] <black9ice> storbeck: the problem is my M-in-Law has no clue about computers and I want to filter out African IP's from the scammers via my own local email server, I use Yahoo/SBC/ATT for email so I have POP3 access to the servers
[15:36] <bgupta> Pici: thx
[15:37] <ChrisW> hey all, I'm looking to replace windows vista on a friend's laptop with Ubuntu, hwo can I resize the existing NTFS partition to make way for an ext3 (I should still pick ext3, right?!) partition?
[15:37] <Userisk> i've got a few problems and i suspect problems with my x permissions http://paste.ubuntu.com/126696/ ideas?
[15:37] <hmw> Where is the proper place to mount shared files for common data on a multi boot PC?
[15:37] <DecemberWolf> is anyone here able to help me with my wireless woes? i have installed the driver (it seems) but i cant connect properly
[15:37] <ChrisW> (this is all running off a live cd)
[15:37] <yadu_> dotblank, http://paste.ubuntu.com/126766/
[15:37] <Cycom> ChrisW: the installer should be able to do it for you, otherwise use GPARTED.  MAKE. BACKUPS. FIRST.
[15:37] <yadu_> dotblank, that link has all the info
[15:37] <sileni> Cycom, i did the boot device order and selected the JETFlash now it says SysLinuz .... boot:_ its waiting for my input what do i type
[15:37] <sileni> Cycom: yes?
[15:38] <ChrisW> Cycom: I have free reign to destroy the data, but they'd prefer if it survived ;-)
[15:38] <Cycom> sileni: just hit enter, I think
[15:38] <ChrisW> the installer didn't offer to, where should I be looking for it to offer?
[15:38] <sileni> Cycom: could not find kernel image
[15:38] <Cycom> sileni: hrm, something's wrong.
[15:38] <dotblank> yadu_: ok I will look over it, what encryption do you have on the network you are trying to and does "sudo iwlist scan" give nearby networks?
[15:38] <jtaji> black9ice: a common setup is postfix/dovecot for a mail server, then possibly adding spamassassin, and fetchmail to grab mail from the 3 pop accounts
[15:38] <Cycom> sileni: I'm about to do the same thing. hang on.
[15:38] <sileni> Cycom, k
[15:38] <dotblank> yadu_: *connect to
[15:38] <Cycom> ChrisW: during the partitioning step it should offer.  or you can pick "manual"
[15:38] <DecemberWolf> is anyone here able to help me with my wireless woes? i have installed the driver (it seems) but i cant connect properly
[15:39] <Cycom> I would say manual is the way to go.
[15:39] <ChrisW> it only offered "auto - 1 big partition", when i went to manual, there didn't appear to any way to resize the existign partition...
[15:39] <yadu_> dotblank, its not encrypted... we are just using it to connect so that i can share my net with him
[15:39] <Cycom> ChrisW: I'd go with gparted then.  got another blank CD/flash drive?
[15:39] <jtaji> black9ice: I spent a lot of time researching and configuring my mail server.... fyi there is going to be a sweet out of the box setup postfix/dovecot/spamassasin mail server for Jaunty
[15:39] <Cycom> ChrisW: also, windows MUST have been shut down properly to repartition.
[15:39] <jtaji> black9ice: similar to how you can install lamp-server in one shot currently
[15:40] <n8tuserf> ChrisW -> get out of installation mode , then launch gparted on a command line, that should show you all your partitions
[15:40] <dotblank> yadu_: is this network sharing or an ad-hoc network
[15:40] <NativeAngels> anyone here who can help me with binddns errors
[15:40] <Cycom> sileni: yeah, try the install-mbr thing
[15:40] <black9ice> jtaji: so then I could just have my local server as the new pop3 server and they can then use any basic local email client, or I could get nifty and configure my personal server then to have a webmail style like yahoo etc?
[15:40] <n8tuserf> DecemberWolf -> which chip does your wifi card have
[15:40] <n8tuserf> ?
[15:40] <sileni> Cycom: how do i get out of this
[15:40] <yadu_> dotblank, i really dont know the difference, i just want to share the internet conn to his lap
[15:40] <DecemberWolf> its the broadcom 943xx series
[15:40] <DecemberWolf> i have ndiswrapped it
[15:41] <DecemberWolf> and im connected to my network
[15:41] <Cycom> sileni: just shut the machine off
[15:41] <jtaji> black9ice: I use squirrelmail for web access, and dovecot can provide either pop or imap access to your mail server
[15:41] <DecemberWolf> but i cant get through to the net, i just get 404
[15:41] <n8tuserf> !who | DecemberWolf
[15:41] <dotblank> yadu_: ok, do you understand subnets and routes?
[15:41] <jtaji> black9ice: imap is nice because the mail stays on the server
[15:41] <yadu_> very little,
[15:41] <dajxd1> Cycom: I'm sorry- where in this file do I add the line?  In a new section?
[15:41] <DecemberWolf> n8tuserf: broadcom 43xx
[15:41] <dotblank> yadu_: I am going to attempt o walk you through the process, see my pm
[15:41] <storbeck> dajxd1: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[15:42] <yadu_> dotblank, but i thought connecting would be easier
[15:42] <_polto_> hi all
[15:42] <jtaji> black9ice: then they can use any email client or the webmail client and their mail is always there
[15:42] <ellla> Question: I have ubuntu on my Everex Cloudbook.  It updated itself the other day and now it boots to a blue screen where it runs tests and it won't move past that. Any ideas to fix it?
[15:42] <n8tuserf> DecemberWolf -> how do you know it is associated with your AP?
[15:42] <yadu_> dotblank, thank you
[15:42] <sileni> Cycom: how would i find the name of the device, i went under ~/dev/ and ls and it has alot of entries
[15:42] <karisters> fellows, I apologize, I will ask again my question. After compilation of wine by hand, I lost sound volume control - sound goes lightly heard and volume control has no adjustable bars to grad up and down. What can I read to handle this problem?
[15:42] <yadu_> dotblank, i'm ready
[15:42] <Cycom> dajxd1: no no, under the Identifier "Configured Video Device"
[15:42] <DecemberWolf> n8tuserf: because it says "you are connected to the livebox etc etc"
[15:42] <Cycom> sileni: type dmesg. it should say "usb device blah blah blah"
[15:42] <DecemberWolf> n8tuserf: and i get an ip
[15:42] <Cycom> sileni: although I seem to be getting the same problem...
[15:42] <dajxd1> Cycom: I have Section "Device", should I use that or make a new one?
[15:43] <Cycom> dajxd1: use that one.
[15:43] <black9ice> jtaji: hmmm then with spamassasin I can block via IP? or block a whole subnet?
[15:43] <Cycom> back up your old config.
[15:43] <jtaji> black9ice: to be more clear, you can have pop and imap access at the same time, it's not an either or
[15:43] <n8tuserf> DecemberWolf -> can you post in pastebin the results of,  ifconfig; iwconfig; route -n ; cat /etc/resolv.conf;  cat /etc/network/interfaces  ?
[15:43] <_polto_> I have a filesystem (ext3) in a strange state... I have less and less  free space without any service started. How can I see what process is writing and in what file ?
[15:43] <ChrisW> hmm, okay, run up gparted, it's whining about Cluster accounting failed...
[15:43] <ChrisW> how do I fix that?
[15:43] <DecemberWolf> n8tuserf: gimme a min :)
[15:44] <n8tuserf> _polto_ -> use lsof, i dont remember the exact options, lsof -i /dev/sda1 ?
[15:44] <Cycom> sileni: it looks like they did something funny when they created our 2gb flash drives.
[15:44] <_polto_> n8tuserf: thanks
[15:44] <sileni> Cycom: http://rafb.net/p/PLG0bW43.html
[15:44] <Cycom> sileni: fire up gparted and delete the partition they made, and then rerun the usb drive creator
[15:44] <sileni> Cycom: oh ok
[15:44] <jtaji> black9ice: I'm not actually using spamassassin because I have eliminated most spam just by using a DNSBL (dns block list) right in my postfix config, you can also block IPs there I believe
[15:44] <Cycom> sileni: sdf. see where it says the thing about the new removable disk?
[15:45] <Cycom> sileni: you have /dev/sdf as the drive
[15:45] <svmurvj> irc.quakenet.org
[15:45] <sileni> Cycom: oh ok
[15:45] <n8tuserf> ChrisW -> your ntfs drive has not been shutdown properly ..anyhow you can reformat that partition if you dont need to save the data
[15:45] <Cycom> sileni: neat, huh?
[15:45] <sileni> Cycom: i have gparted open with it .. i delete everything so it says Grey unallocated as a big bar?
[15:45] <jtaji> black9ice: spamassasin is more for when you need rule based filtering on message content
[15:45] <Cycom> sileni: yes. only on /dev/sdf
[15:45] <ChrisW> n8tuserf: yeah, I would *prefer* to save the data though
[15:45] <sileni> Cycom: it says sdf1 on gparted
[15:45] <Cycom> sileni: yup.
[15:46] <ChrisW> is there any way to fix this without restarting into windows?
[15:46] <Cycom> you have to right click on and unmount it first :)
[15:46] <ChrisW> (their windows install is f*&ked and virus riddled)
[15:46] <n8tuserf> ChrisW -> then boot it back up to your windows, and shut down properly
[15:46] <black9ice> jtaji: so I can configure postfix to grab the email(and leave it on the server) and dovecot to be my new server(local) and then use what ever on the local machine imap or pop3 for the family to view it?  I think I have it right
[15:46] <ChrisW> see previous comment...
[15:46] <karisters> can someone help me in getting sound volume back?
[15:46] <Cycom> n8tuserf: I'm pretty sure there's a way to force ubuntu to see it...
[15:46] <n8tuserf> ChrisW -> you cant,
[15:46] <sileni> Cycom: i can't delete o-0
[15:46] <Cycom> sileni: right click on the partition and click "unmount" :)
[15:46] <Larrxi> howto mount a nrg without converting it to a iso, because it is being converted to a non iso9660 type?
[15:47] <hateball> ChrisW: you can force a mount on an unclean ntfs drive tho
[15:47] <sileni> Cycom: ok its big grey unallocated 1.88 gb
[15:47] <Cycom> apply, and then run the USB utility again
[15:47] <ChrisW> hmm, so what happens with an ntfs partition mounted under linux if linux doesn't shut down cleanly?
[15:47] <jtaji> black9ice: yeah basically, postfix is actually the mail (smtp) server which receives and sends mail, fetchmail is used to grab your other pop accounts and deliver the mail to postfix
[15:47] <n8tuserf> Larrxi -> what is an nrg?
[15:47] <petllama`> is there an inbound connection log for the built in "remote connection"? had a system breech and trying to trace it
[15:47] <n8tuserf> !who | ChrisW
[15:48] <sileni> Cycom: it says i need to format it
[15:48] <Cycom> sileni: do so.
[15:48] <Cycom> click the format button.
[15:48] <n8tuserf> petllama` -> built in remote connection? where did you read that?
[15:48] <sileni> Cycom: done , here we go again
[15:48] <jtaji> black9ice: then dovecot is just the imap/pop server (well it also is often used to provide the SASL encryption)
[15:48] <permanent_asshol> how can i set different settings for 2 wireless adapters in ubuntu 8.10 the network manager applet applies the wireless settings for both adapters
[15:48] <ne2k__> I want to install an 8.04 LTS server with X and gnome. is it better to install the server disk and add stuff, or to install the desktop disk and remove stuff?
[15:48] <Cycom> sileni: I found out about this utility like three days ago. pretty slick.
[15:48] <ChrisW> n8tuserf: that last question of mine was open to anyone who can answer ;-)
[15:48] <petllama`> in preferences, the ability to enable VNC connections
[15:48] <sileni> Cycom: the usb utility?
[15:49] <Cycom> sileni: ya
[15:49] <petllama`> errr, remote desktop... not remote connetions
[15:49] <sileni> Cycom: yea i wish i didn't waste all those cds earlier ><
[15:49] <Cycom> ChrisW: personally, I'd worry about getting windows un-broken first.
[15:49] <n8tuserf> petllama` -> those are not activated by default
[15:49] <black9ice> jtaji: ok thanks for clearing that up, so Fetchmail grabs>postfix(local email server)>Dovecot(local server pop3/imap access)>Then use thunderbird/outlook/web to view?
[15:49] <Cycom> sileni: I have at least thirty or forty linux CDs laying around upstairs.
[15:49] <invisibleninja> what would be newbie-friendly VPN client for Ubuntu?
[15:49] <jtaji> black9ice: that's it in a nutshell
[15:50] <jtaji> black9ice: squirrelmail for the webmail
[15:50] <sileni> Cycom: wow i thought my 8 was being obsessive
[15:50] <Cycom> ChrisW: fix the virus-ridden windows, then install ubuntu.
[15:50] <DecemberWolf> n8tuserf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/126768/
[15:50] <DecemberWolf> n8tuserf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/126768/
[15:50] <petllama`> n8tuserf: how would i  enable them? i dont see it in the GUI options
[15:50] <Cycom> sileni: well, they've accumulated over the years, and just gotten chucked in drawers.  I could probably find ubuntu 6.06 somewhere up there or something.
[15:50] <ChrisW> Cycom: er.... my question was: if linux had mounted the ntfs partition and not closed in cleanly, then what would I do?
[15:50] <Larrxi> n8tuserf, a nrg image - like iso you know
[15:50] <sileni> Cycom: ok i have done the USB utility thing... i do the mbr thing or just try it out ?
[15:50] <zash> invisibleninja: try the the vpn-gui for networkmanager
[15:51] <invisibleninja> ok
[15:51] <Cycom> sileni: do the mbr thing
[15:51] <ellla> so no one knows about the blue screen that i can't move past?
[15:51] <n8tuserf> DecemberWolf -> why line 2 and line 20 the same? also do not have two nics connected to same subnet unless you know how to mess around with your route tables
[15:51] <ne2k__> invisibleninja: I CAN SEE YOU!!!!!
[15:51] <Cycom> sileni: did it work? I'm still having trouble...
[15:51] <jtaji> black9ice: here's some info on what will be available in Jaunty http://ubuntuserver.wordpress.com/2009/02/13/an-improved-mail-server-stack-in-jaunty-dovecot-and-postfix-integration/
[15:52] <sileni> Cycom: my case would just be nstall-mbr /dev/sdf right?
[15:52] <invisibleninja> haha
[15:52] <jtaji> black9ice: I'm not sorry for learning all that stuff, but man is that going to be a timesaver ;)
[15:52] <DecemberWolf> n8tuserf: i didnt know i had! i only have the 1 NIC!
[15:52] <ne2k__> invisibleninja: you can add pptp support to network manager. but pptp is not very secure
[15:52] <n8tuserf> petllama` -> they are not enabled by default, you have to install openssl
[15:52] <n8tuserf> DecemberWolf -> read what you posted, its says o
[15:52] <LjL> ellla: i'm not entirely sure what could be the blue screen you're referring to. what tests would it be running? i never knew that ubuntu would run any automatic tests - aside from the disk check
[15:52] <black9ice> jtaji: so then in a nuttshell I could then have complete control over what goes on....  long story short M-in_law has no clue what a scammer from Africa even is,  So I need to block comms as soon as I start to see fishy emails I want to block those overseas IP's
[15:53] <DecemberWolf> n8tuserf: yeah i see it, im connected twice. how do i disconnect from just the one?
[15:53] <Cycom> sileni: yup
[15:53] <n8tuserf> DecemberWolf -> sudo ifdown eth0
[15:53] <sileni> Cycom, yea i still got the problem
[15:53] <sileni> :-\
[15:53] <invisibleninja> Right now, am not really concerned about security, just need VPN acess
[15:54] <Cycom> sileni: working on it.
[15:54] <permanent_asshol> please someone tell how can i configure settings for 2 seperate wifi adapters
[15:54] <ellla> it runs like test 1 thru test 8 and a progress bar moves from 1-100% each time then theres another progres bar on top that's like total progress and i've let it finish and it just starts over from 1 and if i restart it goes back there.
[15:55] <LjL> ellla: is it "memtest" perhaps?
[15:55] <vladuz976> what's a decent IDE for c++ on linux?
[15:55] <DecemberWolf> n8tuserf: cheers. it still seems to be stuck tho
[15:55] <jtaji> black9ice: indeed.. and I almost hate to mention the other option because running your own mail server is so much fun... but you could always set them up with gmail
[15:55] <ellla> i guess it could be, i don't really know.
[15:56] <jtaji> black9ice: they have good spam filtering, and can check other pop accounts
[15:56] <LjL> ellla: it says so in a corner of the screen, if it is.
[15:56] <n8tuserf> DecemberWolf -> check your route table again,  you should only have one gateway
[15:56] <ellla> it's not with me right now, and i don't remember.
[15:56] <petllama`> n8tuserf: thnx for the advice, ill try it out
[15:56] <jtaji> black9ice: and they have free pop/imap access too, and webmail needless to say
[15:56] <LjL> ellla: then i'm not sure i can help you
[15:56] <n8tuserf> petllama` -> you're welcome
[15:57] <funkyHat> ChrisW: best to defragment the partition from within Windows first, and then you can use the ubuntu installer to resize it
[15:57] <petllama`> anyone happen to know the command i would use for nmap to view all IPs on my local network?
[15:57] <Wayder> is defragging really useful anymore?
[15:57] <sileni> vladuz976try ajunta
[15:57] <Wayder> !defragment
[15:57] <Nom-> Anyone know of a more efficient way to mirror than rsync?  It seems to not be utilizing my available bandwitdth very well :(
[15:57] <ellla> i guess i'll come back another time
[15:57] <DecemberWolf> n8tuserf: yeah i do, thx. do u live in england? if so i owe you at least a barrel of beer
[15:57] <funkyHat> ChrisW: sorry was scrolled up in the channel, thought you only just asked about partitioning :)
[15:57] <ChrisW> funkyHat: not what I asked ;-) What happens if linux doesn't cleanly unmount the ntfs partition and there's no windows around?
[15:57] <LjL> Wayder: not any more or any less than it was, say, 5 years ago
[15:57] <DecemberWolf> n8tuserf: it all works. muchas gracias :D
[15:57] <Cycom> sileni: did you use the 8.04 iso?
[15:58] <n8tuserf> DecemberWolf -> nope, am across the pond.. :P
[15:58] <sileni> Cycom: yes
[15:58] <ChrisW> funkyHat: no one has answered yet ;-)
[15:58] <sileni> Cycom: thats the only thing i have
[15:58] <black9ice> jtaji: thanks for the help..... anything more robust or fluffy looking than squirrelmail?
[15:58] <n8tuserf> DecemberWolf -> okay, cool, just remember not to have two nics on same subnet without you fiddling with the route table
[15:58] <Wayder> nom-: have you tried torrents?
[15:58] <DecemberWolf> n8tuserf: have a good one, and thanks again. lol i didnt realise i had b0rked my setup so n00bishly :P
[15:58] <LjL> petllama`: nmap is mainly a scanner for a single host. it may have options to look for several hosts, but i don't know about them - but are you sure you aren't thinking of some other command, like "arp -a"?
[15:59] <permanent_asshol> on an average who needs more RAM to do the same task ? ubuntu 8.10 or vista ??????????????
[15:59] <n8tuserf> DecemberWolf -> you're welcome..cheers
[15:59] <sileni> permanent_asshol: vista... and you are asking this questioin in the ubuntu channel
[15:59] <funkyHat> ChrisW: the only way to be safe really would be to write your friend's data to CDs or DVDs or a USB drive before you do any repartitioning
[15:59] <Cycom> sileni: running install-mbr again fixed it for me.
[15:59] <sileni> Cycom: i should run it agian?
[15:59] <Cycom> sileni: *shrug* yeah
[16:00] <ne2k__> I want to install Ubuntu 8.04 on to a server with software RAID-1. do I need a special installer disk or will the normal 8.04-server.iso do it?
[16:00] <jtaji> black9ice: squirrelmail is solid if archaic looking... roundcube is a newer project, but I tried it and it is not at all solid yet
[16:00] <Nom-> Wayder: Can't torrent from this... it's a server in a secure data centre :)
[16:00] <petllama`> LjL: well my situation is, im at my office, dont have access to router for the DHCP list. and need to scan each computer to assess what ports are open on each IP
[16:00] <jussi01> permanent_asshol: please change your nick. thanks :)
[16:00] <Nom-> we've got a proper ubuntu mirror on there, but the transfers are a lot slower than i'd expect
[16:00] <petllama`> so i need to get a list of all IPs
[16:00] <ChrisW> funkyHat: yet again, NOT what I'm asking.. what do I do if I have a linux box with an ntfs partition with data on it and linux doesn't cleanly unmount it... how am I supposed to sort things out from there when there's no windows around?
[16:00] <Nom-> 500KB/sec when i've seriously got 1Gbps available to this box
[16:01] <black9ice> jtaji: squirrelmail has no issues with html, blah blah.... in emails?  links and the likes?
[16:01] <Cycom> Nom-: you on cisco hardware?
[16:01] <Nom-> yes
[16:01] <LjL> petllama`: i have no idea. "arp -a" gives you no guarantees that it will list all relevant hosts, and i can't find an appropriate option in the nmap manual.
[16:01] <Cycom> Nom-: are the ports set to autonegotiate? how slow is slow?
[16:01] <geirha> petllama`: You could ping the broadcast address of the local network
[16:01] <Nom-> I just said... 500KB/sec... the mirror i'm going to does't seem slow though
[16:01] <LjL> petllama`: if you know the subnet your network is using, you could just instruct nmap to test every possible address in it for aliveness
[16:02] <Cycom> Nom-: we've been having a fun problem where ports set to autonegotiate will auto to 100-half on the client side and 100-full on the server side, but the slowdown gets to like 10k/s, so likely not your issue.
[16:02] <petllama`> yea i know the subnet
[16:02] <Cycom> Nom-: 500k/s isn't that slow for an update mirror.
[16:02] <jtaji> ChrisW: I've never seen linux unmount an ntfs partition uncleanly, also if there's no windows around, there's little point to ntfs
[16:02] <jtaji> black9ice: no it works great
[16:02] <Nom-> hmm it must be the source ... wget is only pulling 100KB/sec :(
[16:02] <Nom-> that's sucks a bit
[16:03] <sileni> Nom-: what is wrong with 100 kb/sec
[16:03] <Mood> Hi, is there an mp3 tag editor that runs on xfce? i think kid3 only works with KDE
[16:03] <permanent_asshol> join #ubuntu_2 if you think nobody is listening to you here...
[16:03] <Wayder> nom-: you can secure your torrents with iptables (ithink)
[16:03] <Nom-> When you've just fixed your rsync scripts and have a lot of updates to get your mirror up-to-date... a bit :)
[16:03] <sileni> Cycom: i still have the same problem :(
[16:03] <Cycom> ChrisW: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=mount+unclean+ntfs+partition&l=1
[16:03] <black9ice> jtaji: ok perfect....  now I need to go home after work and build a nice little email server  ;)
[16:03] <Nom-> Wayder: No point torrenting... i'm mirroring archive.ubuntu.com, not individual ISos
[16:03] <sileni> Cycom: you press f9 and then select Jetflash right?
[16:03] <LjL> petllama`: then you could do "nmap -sP 192.168.0.0/24" for instance (i'm just making the subnet up). that will ping all host on the subnet, and report those that are online. but if a host doesn't reply to pings, that won't work
[16:03]  * sigterm yawns
[16:04] <Wayder> ah!
[16:04] <Cycom> sileni: yeah, it works fine for me... you did sudo install-mbr /dev/sdf
[16:04] <Cycom> right?
[16:04] <sileni> Cycom: yea
[16:04] <glitsj16> Mood: there's exfalso or easytag that work well with xfce
[16:04] <Cycom> ChrisW: you get that?
[16:04] <sileni> Cycom: it didn't even ask me for password thought when i dod sudo install-mbr
[16:04] <Cycom> ChrisW: literally the first hit.
[16:04] <Mood> glitsj16: awesome. i'll check them out. thanks glitsj16!
[16:04] <petllama`> LjL: thanks :-D you guessed the subnet coprrectly ;)
[16:04] <Nom-> And I can't use au.archive.ubuntu.com either... last time we did that the hoster complained that we maxxed out their link :)
[16:05] <Cycom> sileni: I just stuffed the drive back in and ran it again, and it worked.
[16:05] <ChrisW> Cycom: yeah, I know I can force mount it, but that doesn't help solve the problem... how do I get it so that I don't have to force mount it without using windows?
[16:05] <AndrewMohawk> nyone have any idea why postinst in a .deb on a trivial repo would end a process that it starts after completion ? (process is /etc/init.d/tomcat start)
[16:05] <permanent_asshol> join #ubuntu_2 if you think nobody is listening to you here...
[16:05] <glitsj16> Mood: you're welcome .. easytag takes a bit of tinkering with the settings to get it to act the way you like your tags btw, goodluck
[16:05] <Cycom> ChrisW: if you force mount it, it marks it as clean.
[16:06] <ChrisW> Cycom: I did, it hasn't
[16:06] <permanent_asshol> join #ubuntu_2 if you think nobody is listening to you here
[16:06] <jtaji> permanent_asshol: if you would listen and change your nick as instructed, you might get some attention
[16:06] <sileni> Cycom: after doing install mbr you just pull it off or is there any command to safely eject it
[16:06] <LjL> petllama`: you should look at the "-P" series of options in "man nmap" to find out how to use scan techniques that allow listing even hosts that don't respond to pings. also, running nmap as root may result in showing more hosts
[16:07] <Cycom> ChrisW: then your partition is pretty borked.  I'd just reinstall windows, then install linux.  Maybe mount the partition and copy the data off first.
[16:07] <Cycom> ChrisW: you're likely going to have to reinstall windows ANYHOW if it's all virusey.
[16:07] <Cycom> sileni: I just yanked it out, honestly.  you can unmount it safely by clicking eject, then run install-mbr.
[16:07] <ChrisW> er, I don't want to have anything to do with windows ;-)
[16:07] <alaa_> any one can help me in php data transaction?
[16:08] <sileni> Cycom: i run this install mbr thing on my ubuntu pc or my netbook>
[16:08] <ChrisW> okay, lets start with a simple linux-only question: how do I get the screen res up above 800x600?
[16:08] <zash> alaa_: data transaction?
[16:08] <septox> hi , how to get the list of all packages and versions that will be in jaunty ?
[16:08] <Cycom> sileni: on the ubuntu pc
[16:08] <Cycom> sileni: just from the command line, sudo install-mbr /dev/sdf
[16:08] <Cotowar> i like windows, it has neat games
[16:08] <Cotowar> :P
[16:08] <ChrisW> I tried System - Preferences -> Screen Resolution, but 800x600 was the highest option in the dropdown...
[16:08] <Cycom> sileni: provided the disk still shows up as /dev/sdf
[16:08] <LjL> septox: http://packages.ubuntu.com
[16:08] <jtaji> septox: this is one way: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/
[16:09] <jtaji> septox: note the handy links at the bottom for full list
[16:09] <Cycom> Cotowar: DX 10 games and exchange servers with no imap are my only reasons for still running windows, really.
[16:09] <alaa_> #zash i want to update two tables with two values and afraid if it update the first and any problem in the data connection make the sedond not updated
[16:09] <sileni> Cycom: it works after unmounting and doing the mbr thing
[16:09] <Cotowar> my sound stopped working, i checked the settings in volume control, nothing is muted
[16:09] <Cycom> sileni: as in it just worked, or is that a question?
[16:09] <sileni> Cycom: can i pm you for the partitionhing part please..
[16:09] <septox> LjL: thanks
[16:10] <Cycom> sileni: sure, if you like, although people might want to know what you did :)
[16:10] <mitesh> i have a dual boot system, the grub which runs is of partition i wish to format. how do i enable the grub of the partition which i wish to keep?
[16:10] <black9ice> jtaji: I am spoiled, is there gui front ends to configuring fetchmail/postfix/dovecot/squirrelmail in Ubuntu packages?
[16:10] <AndrewMohawk> anyone got an idea on my problem?
[16:11] <zash> alaa_: START TRANSACTION; DO STUFF WITH `table`; DO OTHER STUFF WITH `othertable`; if(are we ok?) { COMMIT } else { REVERT? or whatsitcalled }
[16:11] <Cotowar> does anyone know why my sound stopped working after a partial upgrade from hardy to jaunty?
[16:11] <new-tu> yo
[16:12] <alaa_> zash i want it if net isconect auto revers
[16:12] <NativeAngels> can anyone help with fixing bind server
[16:12] <ikonia> NativeAngels: what's the issue
[16:12] <n8tuserf> Cotowar -> please go to #ubuntu+1 for jaunty stuff
[16:12] <jimcooncat> AndrewMohawk: a custom .deb starting the server it installed? is that the/a problem?
[16:12] <alaa_> zash: do you know the true php code of your idea?
[16:13] <Cotowar> im not running jaunty though, or am i? does a partial upgrade count as a release switch?
[16:13] <zash> alaa_: depends on what database, and/or abstractionlayers applied
[16:13] <NativeAngels> this is the logs ikonia http://paste.ubuntu.com/126763/
[16:13] <ikonia> Cotowar: it doesn't work because you've done a partial upgrade
[16:13] <ikonia> Cotowar: packages are not meant for mixing and matching
[16:13] <AndrewMohawk> jimcooncat:  no, it installs everything perfectly, and even downloads and isntalls tomcat, sets up the scripts and runs it..
[16:13] <jtaji> black9ice: hehe, not really
[16:13] <AndrewMohawk> but as soon as postinst ends tomcat process also ends
[16:13] <alaa_> database mysql
[16:13] <AndrewMohawk> i have tried with /bin/sh /etc/init.d/tomcat start
[16:13] <Cotowar> dang
[16:13] <AndrewMohawk> and nohup /etc/init.d/tomcat start
[16:13] <zash> alaa_: use pdo or just mysql_*
[16:13] <Cotowar> how might i revert back to hardy?
[16:13] <piloten1975_> Im sitting on new fresch ubuntu desktop install,  but I can´t get the graphics drivers to work, when I click activate nothing changes.
[16:13] <ikonia> NativeAngels: zone angel-hosting.com/IN: loading from master file /etc/bind/zones/angel-hosting.com failed: file not found
[16:14] <AndrewMohawk> tomcat log files appear okay as well
[16:14] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> what does your log on tomcat says?
[16:14] <alaa_> zash: i can understand?
[16:14] <ikonia> NativeAngels: error is pretty clear, and if you plan on running a hosting company - I'd suggest learning the basics of DNS and clear text error messages
[16:14] <ikonia> Cotowar: re-install
[16:14] <cyban> where is Mozilla installed by default?
[16:14] <Cotowar> dang
[16:14] <jimcooncat> AndrewMohawk: perhaps look hard at the init.d script -- sounds like it does not "daemonize"
[16:14] <Cotowar> i was hoping to avoid that
[16:14] <ikonia> cyban: firefox is installed
[16:14] <AndrewMohawk> says "starting up blegh beglh" and as soon as the postinst ends (i manually add a 2min delay with sleep 120) i get "pause" "stop" "destroy" in my tomcat logs
[16:14] <zash> alaa_: will you use PDO or the mysql_* functions or mysqli?
[16:14] <ikonia> zash: maybe take php to ##php ?
[16:14] <Cotowar> though, my system has also been acting weird since i got my fingerprint scanner up and running
[16:15] <alaa_> zash:mysql
[16:15] <cyban> ikonia, yes, Mozilla Firefox - whats the default directory
[16:15] <Cotowar> could that have done something?
[16:15] <ikonia> Cotowar: /usr/bin
[16:15] <yadu> dotblank: sorry i lost my net connection
[16:15] <jtaji> black9ice: and in that case, you really might want to wait until next month for jaunty, because it does require some learning to set up properly
[16:15] <ikonia> Cotowar: sorry
[16:15] <new-tu> hi everyone!  :)
[16:15] <AndrewMohawk> jimcooncat: surely if i did init.d/tomcat & it would still run anyway, especially with tomcat?
[16:15] <cyban> ah thx
[16:15] <chemp> hey
[16:15] <ikonia> cyban: /usr/bin
[16:15] <ikonia> NativeAngels: you've said that
[16:15] <AndrewMohawk> especially with nohup*
[16:15] <new-tu> got what I hope is an easy problem...  :)
[16:15] <ikonia> new-tu: then ask
[16:15] <black9ice> jtaji: no problem, just will need to whip out the linux cap.....so basics would be create 3 user accounts on the machine, configure fetchmail/postfix to dump email into said folders for the different users, then use dovecot for pop3 access?
[16:15] <new-tu> cool
[16:15] <cyban> ok ty, trying to get flash working :/
[16:15] <n8tuserf> AndrewGee -> perhaps you can post your tomcat script in init.d  -- also try to launch tomcat from cli, it should be okay right?
[16:15] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk ->  -> perhaps you can post your tomcat script in init.d  -- also try to launch tomcat from cli, it should be okay right?
[16:15] <dajxd1> Well, my video works wonderfully now- but I can barely hear anything from the macbook speakers and nothing from the headphones.  Is this a known issue at all?
[16:15] <ikonia> cyban: install the package "flashplugin-nonfree" from the repos it does it all for you
[16:16] <new-tu> got the latest iso and burned a CD - now trying to run the live CD on a pentium 4 IBM machine
[16:16] <Omatic> Hi all, I have an mp3 player which has files which are refusing to be deleted claiming that the filesystem is Read-only, I can't even change permissions, the mp3 player was last used on windows, the filesystem is vfat, I have tried mount -o rw,remount /dev/sdc1 to mount it as read-write but what happens is that, yes I will be able to delete the files but when I eject and mount again,  I find the same files are still there! where am I missing the point
[16:16] <jimcooncat> AndrewMohawk: don't know tomcat. a regular executable would end, though, as there is not more shell for it work with. A daemon would detach and continue running.
[16:16] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> kindly change your nick or else the other Andrew gets it
[16:16] <zash> ikonia: s/zash/alaa_/
[16:16] <AndrewMohawk> n8tuserf: yes, if i manually run it after install it works perfectly
[16:16] <mitesh> is there any command to enable grub of another OS?
[16:16] <new-tu> blank, black screen + cursor
[16:16] <new-tu> got somehting I can read?  :)
[16:16] <zash> alaa_: see what ikonia wrote
[16:16] <Cotowar> i messed around in the /etc/pam.d/common-auth file to get my fingerprint reader to work, and since then, my gnome power manager has been screwy
[16:16] <ikonia> !ati > new-tu
[16:16] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk ->  -> perhaps you can post your tomcat script in init.d
[16:16] <cyban> ikonia, ok ill see if I can find it ty
[16:16] <alaa_> zash:ok
[16:16] <chemp> i have a problem with installing ubuntu + encryption .. i always get an "failed to copy files" error
[16:16] <pvh_sa> '''Caravaggio Caravaggio  TTTTTTTT0          ...
[16:17] <chemp> can somebody help me plz?
[16:17] <AndrewMohawk> !paste
[16:17] <Cotowar> PS, my fingerprint reader worked for like 2 days, then went back to being non functional
[16:17] <piloten1975_> Im sitting on new fresch ubuntu desktop install,  but I can´t get the graphics drivers to work, when I click activate nothing changes.
[16:17] <ChrisW> so, no help on screen res problems then? :-(
[16:17] <surgy> hello
[16:17] <Jeruvy> Omatic: try forcing deletion.  read 'man rm' for summary and instructions for invoking the documentation.
[16:17] <AndrewMohawk> n8tuserf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/126781/ <-- my init.d script
[16:17] <surgy> i installed ubuntu via the wumbi installer. how can i access my windows partition now?
[16:18] <jimcooncat> AndrewMohawk: now we'll need /usr/local/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
[16:18] <alaa_> zash: he don't wrote anything related to my case?
[16:18] <Cotowar> surgy, you should have grub installed, in which case it would let you pick on boot
[16:18] <Cotowar> though i dont know what wumbi is, so i couldn't tell you if thats the same or not
[16:18] <AndrewMohawk> jimcooncat: hold, thanks for helping too
[16:19] <cyban> can anyone recommend a Docker, cant seem to find Cairo Dock
[16:19] <surgy> Cotowar, umm no i dont want to boot into windows, i simply want to access my windows partition while in linux
[16:19] <Cotowar> oh, my bad
[16:19] <Cotowar> misinterpreted
[16:19] <jimcooncat> AndrewMohawk: np, supposed to be working on invoicing ;-)
[16:19] <chemp> surgy: try virtualbox
[16:19] <ikonia> surgy: look in the places menu
[16:19] <ikonia> surgy: you should be able to mount it from there
[16:19] <storbeck> surgy: mkdir /mnt/windows - mount /dev/yourwindowspartition /mnt/windows
[16:19] <zash> alaa_: #php would be a better place to get help
[16:19] <AndrewMohawk> jimcooncat, n8tuserf: startup.sh > http://paste.ubuntu.com/126782/
[16:19] <Cotowar> surgy: yea, it should be a filesystem in the places menu. you should be able to mount the partition there
[16:19] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> i dont know if CLASSPATH has to be established too..
[16:19] <shavin> I am trying to install ubuntu after booting up from live cd and using Sytem>Administration>install command. But when i reach the step 4, i cant see any partitions of any drive. it seems stuck and unable to read any drive!
[16:19] <cyban> er nm, Cairo is installed but no menu for it heh
[16:20] <Omatic> Jeruvy, what combination should I use?
[16:20] <alaa_> zash:ok thanks
[16:20] <Jeruvy> surgy: you can either mount the drive or share it.  Ask ubottu about 'ntfs'.
[16:20] <AndrewMohawk> im doing "export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun" in my preinst
[16:20] <Jeruvy> Omatic: what are you asking me?
[16:20] <pos69sum> anyone using gnome with openbox?
[16:20] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> am not sure if JAVA_HOME includes CLASSPATH
[16:20] <Cotowar> where might i learn the commands for IRC again? I knew them once upon a time when i was a MMORPG-er, but i have forgotten
[16:21] <_VIM_> cyban: cairo-dock is under Applications >System tools, but you might have to log out and log back in to see it...
[16:21] <storbeck> !irc | Cotowar
[16:21] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> check the catalina.sh  if it sets that, i cant remember..
[16:21] <AndrewMohawk> n8tuserf: how would i find out, also tomcat *is* running, but as soon as postinst ends it takes my tomcat with it
[16:21] <Cotowar> thanks man
[16:22] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> your postinst  script? post it please
[16:22] <Cotowar> since i added fingerprint authorization to my pam.d/common-auth file, i can no longer access synaptic via menu
[16:22] <jimcooncat> AndrewMohawk, n8tuserf: doesn't look like it reparents itself to init (am I saying this right?)
[16:22] <cyban> _VIM_, I dont have a system folder under application
[16:22] <Cotowar> i can click it, and it opens for a second, then disappears
[16:23] <storbeck> Cotowar: Maybe you have the wrong fingerprint :P
[16:23] <Cotowar> lol
[16:23] <Cotowar> thats it
[16:23] <AndrewMohawk> jimcooncat, n8tuserf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/126786/ <-- relevant postinst section
[16:23] <_VIM_> cyban: System Tools? it should be there, are you running gnome?
[16:23] <cyban> _VIM_, yes Gnome with Emerald/Compiz
[16:23] <Cotowar> i was looking and thinkfinger has a couple known bugs, though the developer said he had a workaround. I just dont know where to put the code
[16:23] <cyban> I thought I was missing something there, but the install went fine and everything was working so im not sure why it isnt there
[16:23] <n8tuserf> jimcooncat -> possibly, i dont remember the interaction between init and a tomcat thats acting like a daemon
[16:24] <_VIM_> hmm well im on 8.10 and I have it :)
[16:24] <cyban> not used Ubuntu in about a year so kinda rusty
[16:24] <toddoon> why ubuntu has 2.6.27 whereas it exist 2.6.28?
[16:24] <adante> hi folks, is ubuntu 8.10 friendly with existing windows installs?
[16:24] <AndrewMohawk> jimcooncat: any idea how to fix it?
[16:24] <LjL> !latest | toddoon
[16:24] <r00t_> hiho
[16:24] <Cotowar> how might i find out if my laptop has internal bluetooth without taking it apart?
[16:24] <Joran> adante: extremely friendly - too friendly!
[16:24] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> why is there a period in line 6 ?   /bin/sh ./  <--
[16:25] <jimcooncat> AndrewMohawk: only thing I could think to rig this is to spawn Tomcat in a screen session. running it in background with & doesn't work as when the postint closes it brings down the background tomcat process with it.
[16:25] <r00t_> i've got a problem with my keyboard unter jaunty
[16:25] <adante> Joran: someone is telling me if i install ubuntu onto another partition, grub will automatically give me the option to boot from my other xp partition, is this for real?
[16:25] <cyban> _VIM_, any idea how to get that menu back?
[16:25] <_VIM_> !jaunty
[16:25] <_VIM_> !panel | cyban
[16:25] <_VIM_> !panels
[16:25] <r00t_> *under
[16:25] <Joran> yes adante: it automatically will set up dual-boot for you
[16:25] <cyban> hrm no ubot help heh
[16:25] <AndrewMohawk> n8tuserf: so that it executes the startup.sh script?
[16:25] <cyban> oh nm,
[16:26] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> the path witll start from current "."  so unless you have ./usr/... exist?
[16:26] <surgy> ok so there is no option in the "places" menu  to mount or otherwise view my windows partition
[16:26] <surgy> can someone help me?
[16:26] <cyban> _VIM_, hrm, no luck that didnt put it in
[16:27] <jimcooncat> AndrewMohawk: try using this as line 6 of your postint: /usr/bin/screen /bin/sh ./usr/local/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
[16:27] <surgy> !ntfs
[16:27] <jimcooncat> AndrewMohawk: assuming you have screen installed of course.
[16:27] <_VIM_> cyban: not sure what else it could be, if you're on 8.10 you *SHOULD* have Applications > System Tools menu :/
[16:27] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> is tomcat really in current dir and has path to it with  ./usr/local/tomcat/bin/startup.sh   ?
[16:27] <miguelp> how to connect to a wpa2-psk network using an hex key?
[16:28] <Med1a> hey ,,,
[16:28] <AndrewMohawk> tomcat isnt in the current directory, thus the full path for the script being given
[16:28] <Med1a> how can i use mesene with arabic language
[16:28] <erUSUL> !sa
[16:28] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> thats why i asked you about the "."   remove it
[16:28] <Med1a> ubottu
[16:29] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> you are telling it to start from current dir with "."
[16:29] <cyban> _VIM_, ya im trying to edit the menu which lists System but nothing seems to bring it into the menu list
[16:29] <surgy> I installed ubuntu using the wumbi installer, can someone help me acess me windows partition please?
[16:29] <dreamy> nightrid3r: hey whats up ? :) (just sayng hi)
[16:29] <Med1a> no pepoles on there ....
[16:29] <AndrewMohawk> n8tuserf: none the less it still starts okay, and i can connect to it etc
[16:29] <_VIM_> cyban: well like i said, Im out of answers, you *SHOULD* have those menus if you're on Ubuntu 8.10 :)
[16:29] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> its not correct path though.. you need to correct it
[16:30] <surgy> anyone?
[16:30] <AndrewMohawk> ok let me try that
[16:30] <cyban> ya.. wondering if I should do a reinstall but thats a hell of a lot of work for a missing menu
[16:30] <Med1a> any body help me ... how i can connect to ubuntu from windws via remote desktop ??
[16:30] <ackbahr> Hi!
[16:30] <aloysis> hi everyone I hope I'm in the right area
[16:30] <Wayder> to have ubuntu recognize over 3gb of ram, i need the 64bit os right?
[16:30] <geirha> cyban: Do you see it in alacarte?
[16:31] <ikonia> Wayder: thats the most straight forward way
[16:31] <_VIM_> cyban: I wouldn't, you can always run the apps in terminal, I do that about 90% of the time anyways
[16:31] <cyban> geirha, no
[16:31] <regeya> Wayder, personal opinion, if you have a 64-bit proc, you should be running a 64-bit os
[16:31] <ackbahr> Is there a way to get a chronological list of the packages I installed (time of installation)? I need to remove something and I can't remember the name....
[16:31] <cyban> whats the launcher for Cairo Dock just cario-dock?
[16:31] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> curious as to why you'd have it in init.d to start it and then another in postinstall?  postinstall gets triggered when?
[16:31] <ikonia> cyban: dpkg log may have it
[16:31] <_VIM_> cyban: yeah cairo-dock
[16:31] <AndrewMohawk> n8tuserf: because ive been trying *loads* of different ways before i came here
[16:32] <aloysis> does anyone know where I can look for a history when users of an ubuntu system logs on and off. is there a log for that?
[16:32] <ikonia> aloysis: last
[16:32] <AndrewMohawk> n8tuserf: first with init.d then directly calling the startup.sh and also with & and nohup and /bin/sh's
[16:32] <dreamy> is there any command to give me a status of my ports.. firewall  etc ?
[16:32] <credo> $last -20
[16:32] <cyban> thanks
[16:32] <surgy> guess im on my own with this one...
[16:32] <ikonia> dreamy: iptables -l
[16:32] <dreamy> ok ikonia
[16:32] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> so am not sure which one is getting launched.. do it one at a time..dont try to relaunch it somewhere else
[16:33] <ikonia> surgy: stop crying about help, someone will help when they can
[16:33] <aloysis> perfect you all are awesome
[16:33] <AndrewMohawk> n8tuserf: no, i mean i tried them each one at a time, same result, tomcat starts up, works fine when postinst is going on, but as soon as it ends it takes tomcat down
[16:33] <snowveil> surgy, mount it with ntfs-3g
[16:33] <dreamy> ikonia: sorry .. uknown arg :S
[16:34] <cyban> hrm one last thing, where do I go to select it to start Cario on boot?
[16:34] <ikonia> dreamy: what command ?
[16:34] <surgy> snowveil, and how do i do that?
[16:34] <snowveil> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009
[16:34] <dreamy> ikonia: iptables -l
[16:34] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> you'd have to correct your postinstall script then or try without relaunching from postinstall
[16:34] <surgy> snowveil, why does kubuntu auto mount my ntfs partition and gnome doesnt?
[16:34] <JonathanD> so I'm having an odd issue with remote ssh connections.
[16:34] <dreamy> maybe its -i
[16:34] <JonathanD> mostly with screen+ irssi
[16:34] <cyban> or not, arg - cario-dock just gives me options to configure but dont launch it
[16:35] <Wayder> my thing is that I have a 64bit proc, 8gb of ram  (its my desktop workstation) currently I am running win2k and looking to upgrade.. this is my work laptop running ubuntu 8.04, im currently upgrading to 8.10 (download in progress) is it worth getting the 64bit Ubuntu 8.10 for my desktop? The biggest issue I have is that I am a gamer and play fps as well as other games. I have 4 hard drives for a total of approx of 2tb in a raid config and
[16:35] <Wayder> a compact flash to sata adapter for my bootable OS drive.. will ubuntu64 fit in the 8gb allocation?
[16:35] <ikonia> dreamy: -L
[16:35] <snowveil> dunno :)
[16:35] <JonathanD> I get some sort of lag or something when I update the screen, switch tabs, or large amounts of stuff on screen change.
[16:35] <AndrewMohawk> n8tuserf: postinst was the only place i was launching from
[16:35] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> and you seemed to cutoff the rest of postinstall script, lest you tell us you dont want us to see it?
[16:35] <dreamy> ikonia: okey.
[16:35] <snowveil> linux doesn't natively support ntfs
[16:35] <JonathanD> then I have to swithc windows again or something to fix it.
[16:35] <ikonia> Wayder: all that you ve said has nothing to do with if you should get 64bit or not
[16:35] <AndrewMohawk> n8tuserf: i can't really show you, but that is the *end* of the postinst
[16:35] <JonathanD> Is this a known issue, or something?
[16:35] <erUSUL> Wayder: short answer: yes go with 64 bit
[16:35] <dreamy> it worked
[16:35] <dreamy> thanks
[16:35] <Wayder> basicly.. will it fit in 8gb?
[16:35] <Jeruvy> Wayder: you may wish to learn about 'fakeraid' before you go too far.
[16:35] <ikonia> Wayder: the answer is "do you want 64bit, and do you want it to use all 8gb of your ram out of the box"
[16:35] <ikonia> Wayder: you don't install to ram
[16:36] <AndrewMohawk> n8tuserf: prior to that is just some scripting to pull files for my application
[16:36] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> without knowing what the rest of the script does, we all are using our crystall ball to guess
[16:36] <AndrewMohawk> n8tuserf: it does wgets'
[16:36] <n8tuserf> AndrewMohawk -> if you wish, remove it from init.d/  then just have the postinstall
[16:36] <armence1> Hi all, I wanted to know how I can make some programs start when I log on
[16:36] <Wayder> is one able to load Virtualbox into ram? =s
[16:36] <erUSUL> Wayder: that 8GiB are the flash media capacity?
[16:37] <ikonia> Wayder: it's an application - it runs in ram
[16:37] <jimcooncat> armence1: are you using gnome?
[16:37] <n8tuserf> Wayder -> its in ram
[16:37] <Wayder> yeh, the flashcard is 8gb which is were my os is housed
[16:37] <ikonia> Wayder: then why did you say it was 8GB of ram ?
[16:38] <Wayder> my ram is 8gb and my os drive is 8gb..
[16:38] <jimcooncat> armence1: System - > Preferences -> Sessions
[16:38] <huufarted> quit
[16:38] <n8tuserf> Wayder -> really?
[16:38] <ikonia> Wayder: stock ubuntu install is about 1.6 gig
[16:38] <wad> Quick question: On my laptop, I plug in a CRT to the VGA port. Pressing Fn+F7 activates external video that clones my laptop screen, but it's scrambled. Pressing it again sends it only to external, and it looks good. Pressing it again sends it back to laptop screen, and it's good. I need to be able to clone, and not have the CRT scrambled. Ideas?
[16:38] <Wayder> yeh, ram was on sale for 30$/2g and my mobo has room for 4
[16:38] <Wayder> so I stocked up
[16:39] <n8tuserf> Wayder -> 32 bit? or 64?
[16:39] <Wayder> at the moment 2k, which is not making best use of my ram
[16:39] <n8tuserf> wad -> umm crt can not handle your resolution
[16:39] <Wayder> windows 2k its the only legal copy of windows I have
[16:39] <Cycom> Wayder: you have 8gb of ram?
[16:39] <Wayder> yes
[16:40] <Wayder> 4x 2GB
[16:40] <Cycom> Wayder: gonna go with ubuntu 64 then?
[16:40] <n8tuserf> Wayder you need to donate some of that to me..lol
[16:40] <Wayder> lol
[16:40] <wad> n8tuserf, but it seems to be okay when it's only going there.... trying again, checking bounds of screen....
[16:40] <Wayder> yeh, I was thinking 64bit ubuntu since ubuntu works rather well on my 32bit laptop
[16:40] <ikonia> Wayder: get stuck in and enjoy
[16:41] <n8tuserf> Wayder -> you're able to run 64bit into a 32bit laptop?
[16:41] <jimcooncat> Wayder: you'll be able to run win2k in a virtual machine then. You'll want 64 bit if you want to address all that ram
[16:41] <Wayder> n8t, no the laptop runs 32 ubuntu
[16:41] <wad> n8tuserf, No, it's fine when it's only going to the CRT. It's only when it's going to both that the CRT is scrambed.
[16:41] <Wayder> and yeh, anything over 3gb needs 64bit
[16:41] <DecemberWolf> does anybody know how i can get ubuntu to recognise a second monitor?
[16:41] <DecemberWolf> does anybody know how i can get ubuntu to recognise a second monitor?
[16:41] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: plug it in and use the "screen resolution" tool, see if it see's it
[16:41] <n8tuserf> wad when it is scrambled try doing a   ctrl+alt+numericpad plus symbol
[16:42] <wad> DecemberWolf, that's what I'm working on now.... :)
[16:42] <wad> n8tuserf, okay!
[16:42] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: system -> preferences -> screen resolution
[16:42] <Dreamglider-> DecemberWolf: wad: Me too.
[16:43] <DecemberWolf> ikonia: im trying to get it to detect an HDTV through a DVi to HDMi connector
[16:43] <DecemberWolf> ikonia: should i just give up now or is this possible? :P
[16:43] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: do what I suggested
[16:43] <bexamous> it works
[16:43] <DecemberWolf> ikonia: it doesnt see it
[16:43] <DecemberWolf> :(
[16:43] <bexamous> I have a Westinghouse HDTV that gets detected with DVI->HDMI connector
[16:44] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: ok - so now use the command dccprobe and see if it can see it
[16:44] <n8tuserf> bexamous -> tell tell.. some are attempting what you have done
[16:44] <ikonia> bexamous: dvi->hdmi converter has no effect, it's just "pin mapping"
[16:44] <DecemberWolf> ikonia dccprobe command not found :(
[16:44] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: install it
[16:44] <bexamous> yeah its not doing anything special
[16:45] <Slayer> Excuse me, this might sound strange, but... Ubuntu does not see the drive to which it was installed. It has a "File system" and another drive, named "30 GB media". File system is a Ubuntu install folder...
[16:45] <n8tuserf> DecemberWolf -> its ddcprobe
[16:45] <DecemberWolf> ikonia: apt-get yeah?
[16:45] <Wayder> so the general consensus is that ubuntu64 has a 1.2gb install footprint?
[16:45] <bexamous> although its interesting when I switch monitor to windows the nvidia driver knows its an hdmi monitor
[16:45] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: search - so you find the right pacakge name
[16:45] <n8tuserf> DecemberWolf -> its ddcprobe
[16:45] <ikonia> n8tuserf: thank you
[16:45] <n8tuserf> ikonia -> you're welcome
[16:45] <DecemberWolf> ikonia: its locked until the updates are done
[16:46] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: then wait
[16:46] <DecemberWolf> ikonia: i will ask later, but thanks. i will start with what u have suggested and get back to you if im still stuck
[16:46] <Seveas> patience is a virtue :)
[16:46] <DecemberWolf> ikonia: its gonna take about an hour to update, wont keep you waiting :P
[16:47] <Slayer> and the other drive is the other drive, where i store downloads. I can't find the folders i had on this drive before (Like Program Files) though, i see them in Windows perfectly
[16:47] <ikonia> Slayer: file systems work different in linux than windows
[16:48] <Slayer> ikonia: How can i see those folders trough ubuntu?
[16:48] <ikonia> Slayer: open the "places" menu and look in "computer" you'll see all your drives/file systems
[16:48] <miville> join #rawmaterials
[16:48] <ikonia> Slayer: your "ubuntu" file system will be called "filesystem"
[16:48] <miville> lol
[16:49] <Slayer> ikonia: I know that. And it's the Ubuntu folder whatsoever... And like WTF how do i go out of that? To the thing that was C:\ in windows?
[16:49] <bittyx> Hi, I'm having some trouble with my Ubuntu/Windows machine (the Windows part, that is). I realize this is #ubuntu, and not #windows, but everything was working fine earlier, so I guess Ubuntu might have broken something (or rather, I've broken it using Ubuntu).
[16:49] <ikonia> Slayer: that is the "c" think in windows
[16:50] <Seveas> Slayer, the "C" thin in windows will be somewhere under /media/
[16:50] <Slayer> em... Filesystem/media?
[16:50] <Seveas> bittyx, windows problems in ##windows :)
[16:51] <wad> n8tuserf, woah, that killed my system.
[16:51] <bittyx> I've installed Ubuntu a few days ago, on the same HDD with my Windows system, and it worked well until today. This morning, I shut down Windows to get into Ubuntu, and spent a few hours there. Later, I restarted, and I chose Windows in Grub, but all I get is a black screen and nothing happens.
[16:51] <bittyx> Seveas: I realize, but bear with me for a sec :)
[16:51] <telaviv> hmmm i'm still having issues getting git to work. It asks for a password and i'm not sure what to give it. I gave it the one associated with my public key, and it doesn't work
[16:51] <telaviv> any tips?
[16:52] <bittyx> So, naturally, I insert the Windows installation CD for booting, to try to fix it from there, but, instead of booting from the cdrom, my system just gets into Grub directly.
[16:52] <Seveas> bittyx, you could boot the windows install cd and reinstall its bootloader via the rescue mode
[16:52] <MR_QT> hello
[16:52] <Seveas> bittyx, set the bios to boot from cd :)
[16:52] <spionlala> is there some ppa avail to get gnome 2.26rc backported to intrepid?
[16:52] <Slayer> bittyx: I guess windows is just broken. It happens to me sometimes
[16:52] <bittyx> (I would've fixed the MBR/checked the disk, or reinstalled as a last option)
[16:52] <bittyx> The bios is set to boot from the CD.
[16:52] <Seveas> then the cd is broken ?
[16:53] <bittyx> So anyway, I get into Ubuntu to check something, and what happens - I cannot access my cdrom at all.
[16:53] <Seveas> ah, cdrom drive broken
[16:53] <bittyx> Not with the Windows CD, not with the Ubuntu CD, nothing - it just doesn't work.
[16:53] <Slayer> bittyx: i get it... You need a new CDrom device.
[16:53] <bittyx> Slayer: Could that stop Windows from booting as well?
[16:53] <Seveas> bittyx, check the connections to the cdrom drive :)
[16:53] <bittyx> I've checked the connections, but I didn't try to *disconnect* it :D
[16:54] <Seveas> bittyx, maybe. If you have loose wires in your pc, who knows what breaks :)
[16:54] <Slayer> bittyx: not if it was installed to HDD. But it looks like it has some files damaged... Do you get a BSOD or whatever?
[16:54] <bittyx> No no, when I choose Win in Grub, the screen just goes black, and that's it.
[16:54] <Slayer> bittyx: now THAT's strange
[16:54] <Seveas> bittyx, shut down, unplug cd drive, boot :)
[16:54] <bittyx> I can still normally access my Windows partitions from Ubuntu, though.
[16:55] <bittyx> Seveas: Yeah, I'll try that now. Be back in a few minutes if it ain't working. If I'm not back, thanks for the suggestion! :)
[16:55] <Seveas> the windows bootloader might hang on that cd drive (it walks all IDE devices, unliek grub)
[16:55] <Slayer> bittyx: That aint strange... I guess a few files were damaged, and Windows just... blah.
[16:55] <bittyx> Seveas: I realized that, it just hasn't crossed my mind before.

[16:57] <hwilde> Pici, I am pretty good but that howto does not make any sense.  why is this so complicated
[16:57] <hwilde> Pici, I don't know the key to add
[16:57] <Seveas> Slayer, you probably smiled at it in a suggestive way, making it soil its pants :)
[16:58] <Pici> hwilde: See this page for the gpg key id: https://edge.launchpad.net/~freenx-team/+archive/ppa
[16:58] <kraut> moin
[17:01] <n8tuserf> rhythmsoup -> yes there is a fair chance that the driver for those non-connecting ones are incompatible or not up to date
[17:01] <alex1> hello
[17:04] <bittyx> Seveas, Slayer: Just dropped back to say thanks.
[17:04] <bittyx> It was the cd-rom after all.
[17:04] <Seveas> bittyx, pity, that means you can boot that inferor os again ;)
[17:05] <bittyx> Seveas: I know, but it's like a necessary evil - I need Photoshop, and GIMP just doesn't cut it.
[17:05] <[Phaedrus]> question: why do people contribute to linux? what drives people to contribute?
[17:05] <flice> hi
[17:05] <bittyx> And I do Photography, so I need some Nikon programs that, unfortunately, aren't made for Linux :(
[17:06] <flice> I get an "unresolved symbol: ffmp_nopts" error, when trying to encode with ffmpeg. any help?
[17:06] <bittyx> [Phaedrus]: Because people are actually nice and open-minded and believe that sharing knowledge leads to more knowledge?
[17:06] <hwilde> Pici, is that stuff gonna be streamlined in the future?  because it is a real pita...
[17:06] <flice> s/ffmp_/ffm_/
[17:07] <Pici> hwilde: Its only a pain because ppa gpg keys were addded after ppas were made available.
[17:07] <Seveas> bittyx, I just do it for the money :)
[17:07] <bittyx> And because, despite being free, it's still more stable than Windows (and that's what you should compare it to, since the majority of computer users run M$ stuff)
[17:08] <hwilde> Pici, yeah but it could like popup a view pgp key, add key dialog.  like the certificates do now
[17:08] <[Phaedrus]> bittyx: well, thats all one part of it, but what do people really get out of it. whats the value system? what do credits or good standing get folks in the real world?
[17:08] <bittyx> Seveas: Well yeah, but you don't earn by selling software, you earn it by administration/servicing, and from people who contribute money to free software.
[17:08] <ZykoticK9> [Phaedrus], <joke> I think it's for the glamour and all the hot women </joke>
[17:08] <Seveas> bittyx, or by being paid by your boss
[17:08] <[Phaedrus]> ZykoticK9: hot women? OMG!:P
[17:09] <bittyx> [Phaedrus]: It's not that you *don't* make any money, but there are certainly people who work for free. Maybe those people already have good jobs and just do it for fun and self-fulfilment?
[17:09] <Giant81> how women in linux?
[17:09] <hwilde> !ot | everybody
[17:09] <Giant81> where!!!
[17:09] <DecemberWolf> ikonia: couldnt find package: ddcprobe
[17:09] <Seveas> !search ddcprobe
[17:09] <Seveas> !find ddcprobe
[17:10] <Seveas> DecemberWolf, apt-get install xresprobe
[17:10] <bittyx> Well okay, not to offtopic anymore - thanks once again, Seveas. See ya!
[17:11] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: it's not a package name - I told you to search for the right package name
[17:11] <hwilde> ok now I have another question.  my resolution is failing over to 800x600.  i've tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and various other things but it just breaks terribly.  monitor is optimum 1920x1200 60Hz  Dell E248WFP
[17:11] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: I made that quite clear
[17:11] <DecemberWolf> ikonia: sorry!
[17:13] <Giant81> hwilde chances are it's not the monitor, its' the video card drivers
[17:13] <hwilde> Giant81, ok let's go with that then
[17:13] <glitsj16> hwilde: anything relevant like warnings (WW) or errors (EE) reported in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[17:14] <hwilde> glitsj16, http://pastebin.com/f57491afe   //var/log/Xorg.0.log
[17:14] <danopia> hi
[17:14] <glitsj16> hwilde: i'll have a look, hope others chime in as well, these things can be hard to track, i'll let you know if i catch something
[17:18] <Coolidge> I LOVE WINDOS VISTA32 BIT!!!!
[17:18] <DecemberWolf> ikonia: i got it. i have run the ddcprobe command. what now?
[17:18]  * DecemberWolf slaps Coolidge around a bit with a large trout
[17:18] <Coolidge> hahaha
[17:18] <ikonia> Coolidge: play elsewhere - not in here
[17:19] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: did it detect two monitors in the output ?
[17:19] <Coolidge> ikonia, hahaha
[17:19] <Coolidge> -_-
[17:19] <ikonia> Coolidge: please respect that this is a support channel, play elsewhere
[17:20] <DecemberWolf> ikonia: i cant tell. it looks to me like it is only detecting one
[17:20] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: do you want to pastbin it ?
[17:20] <Coolidge> how can I change my unbuntu, to look more like windows vista
[17:21] <Coolidge> I love the dream scene
[17:21] <ikonia> Coolidge: use a windows theme
[17:21] <ZykoticK9> hwilde, it seems like you are using the VESA driver and it's Virtual size is 800x600 (line 1752), what sort of graphics card to you have?  it would be better if you could install a specific driver, rather then using the default VESA...
[17:21] <_VIM_>  !themes
[17:21] <glitsj16> hwilde: only errors are related to 'Logitech Logitech RumblePad 2 USB' .. no clue what that device is ...
[17:21] <dccuser> Coolidge: I would recommend ubuntu off topic, youll get plenty of flames there
[17:21] <Coolidge> ikonia : you got a link
[17:21] <ikonia> Coolidge: there are plenty of themes on gnome-look.org
[17:21] <Coolidge> okay Cool
[17:21] <hwilde> glitsj16, that's just my joystick - and that is workin ok
[17:21] <Coolidge> thank you
[17:21] <zxxd> what sounds better, ubuimage or ubunimage ?
[17:21] <Coolidge> ikonia : do you get paid for helping people in this channel
[17:21] <hwilde> ZykoticK9, i've looked through lspci and I don't see nvidia or ati so i guess it's default intel onboard graphics?
[17:21] <ikonia> Coolidge: no
[17:21] <Coolidge> ikonia : heavy, okay thanks dude, L8R
[17:22] <dbrewer_rjr> i am trying to install open-vm-tools into a hardy server. i get an error: error: glib >= 2.6.0 is required. What do I install to fix this?
[17:22] <ikonia> dbrewer_rjr: it means it needs a version of glib greater than 2.6
[17:22] <ikonia> dbrewer_rjr: where are you trying to install them - how ae you trying to install them ?
[17:22] <glitsj16> hwilde: ok .. what does running "xrandr" from terminal return ? it should report your supported monitor modes
[17:22] <zxxd> or ubimage
[17:22] <DecemberWolf> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/126820
[17:23] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: yes, looks like that's just one monitor
[17:23] <dbrewer_rjr> ikonia: yup i know. i just need the correct apt-get package. I am using the open-vm-tools to generate a patch for the VMware tools
[17:23] <ikonia> dreamy:  you already have glib on your system , or should do
[17:23] <hwilde> ZykoticK9, http://pastebin.com/f2c04529d  lspci -v
[17:24] <ikonia> dbrewer_rjr: how are you trying to install the vmware tools product
[17:24] <DecemberWolf> ikonia: so where do i go from here to detect the second one?
[17:24] <hwilde> glitsj16, it is in like failsafe mode or something.  it only has 800x600 and 640x480
[17:24] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: well, if it's not being detected at all, you can always try hard coding it in xorg.conf - but that fact that it's not being detected at all looks like you can't use the method you want to use to connect it
[17:25] <ikonia> DecemberWolf: thats not fact - just my opinion at this stage
[17:25] <glitsj16> hwilde: i see, out of ideas here i'm afraid
[17:25] <hwilde> it's the driver not hte monitor
[17:25] <hwilde> ZykoticK9, is on the right track
[17:25] <swcdxUBu> hello
[17:26] <ZykoticK9> hwilde, yup that's intel graphics all right - i wish i could see what driver xorg.conf had on my eee, it's intel too - but there must be something better then VESA? I just don't know what it is
[17:27] <hwilde> ok so who knows what driver i need for intel graphics
[17:27] <ikonia> ZykoticK9: intel or i810 are your two options
[17:27] <ikonia> hwilde: intel or i810
[17:27] <Beanz> hi
[17:28] <ZykoticK9> hwilde, see that last post from ikonia you need to change VESA to one of those two options.  good luck
[17:28] <hwilde> what is the difference ?
[17:28] <hwilde> ikonia, how do you know which one
[17:28] <ikonia> hwilde: ones more "bleeding edge"
[17:28] <ikonia> hwilde: I'd suggest trying the intel one
[17:28] <ikonia> hwilde: thats teh better option, but not supported on all kit
[17:28] <ikonia> hwilde: then fall back to i810 if it's not good
[17:29] <desen> hello dudes. i need assistance regarding a dual boot issue. might take some time, ANY VOLUNTEERS ? query please
[17:29] <ikonia> desen: just ask the question
[17:29] <cyban> Ok this is odd.... I reinstalled Ubuntu and I still dont have a system folder under applications
[17:29] <ikonia> cyban: there is no "system" folder
[17:29] <ikonia> cyban: as I told you it works different in linux
[17:29] <sbornix> there're any repository for ubuntu 8.04 for install xfce 4.6 ?? in default repository configs there's only xfce 4.4..
[17:29] <cyban> ikonia: well Misc or something, when I install programs they arent getting into the menus
[17:30] <ikonia> cyban: which program for example
[17:30] <hwilde> ikonia, ok I have xserver-xorg-video-intel how do I activate it?
[17:30] <cyban> ikonia: Cario is one of them, there are a bunch
[17:30] <ikonia> cyban: give me a few examples
[17:31] <ikonia> hwilde: change or add teh line Driver "intel" in your xorg.conf in the generic video card device section
[17:31] <cyban> basically anything that wouldnt go under the standard menus
[17:32] <ikonia> cyban: can you give me some examples please
[17:32] <cyban> trying to find a few ikonia, fresh install so im not noticing as much
[17:32] <Slayer> Excuse me, how do i search for a certain package?
[17:32] <LjL> !packages | Slayer
[17:32] <pLr> Slayer: apt-cache search
[17:33] <Slayer> and what will i get after it's found? Will i get WHERE is it located? I want to give one to my friend
[17:33] <ikonia> Slayer: let your friend get it then
[17:34] <ikonia> Slayer: rather than you get it for him
[17:34] <sileni> hey guys im in ubuntu live sesssion. im trying to resize the windows xp partition that it came preloaded with .. but when i went to resize it only does it to 8mb of the original size
[17:35] <dbiscuts> is there a way to see where my usb device is registering as while I unplug and plug it in
[17:35] <Travis-42> Does anyone know where sbackup logs?  It mysteriously stopped doing daily backups several days ago and I can't figure out why
[17:35] <ikonia> desen: on /media
[17:36] <cyban> Cairo is installed by default right?
[17:36] <ikonia> Travis-42: normally /var/log
[17:36] <desen> The story goes like this: i had a dual boot XP + Ubuntu 8.04. Windows failed me and decided to erase it, leaving only Ubuntu. Inserted a bootable win 2000 CD and formated C: but something went wrong and i cannot use Linux. the GRUB reinstallation FAILED because it couldnt recognise the partitions. Used Hiren's Tool (bunch of programs for recovery or partition utilities) and still i cannot do anyting. i keep getting errors at a point.
[17:36] <Travis-42> ikonia: yea, but when I search all of the files in there, I can't find anything from the program
[17:36] <hwilde> ZykoticK9, glitsj16, ikonia,   ok intel driver is activated.  now xrandr returns a bunch of resolutions: http://pastebin.com/f54cbace1    but i'm still stuck at 800x600
[17:38] <desen> well ?
[17:38] <ikonia> desen: re-install, sounds like you've messed up the disk
[17:38] <Iceman_B^Ltop> if a file belongs to User A1, group Spades, and user A1 is member is Spades, can I change file ownership to say, A1 and Hearts?
[17:38] <Geek`N`Proud> desen, install Windows first
[17:38] <Geek`N`Proud> then install Ubuntu
[17:38] <Iceman_B^Ltop> where user A1 and Group Hearts are unrelated ?
[17:38] <ikonia> desen: boot from ubuntu live CD to see that status of the disk
[17:38] <Geek`N`Proud> and make sure you partition manually in a way that doesn't nuke Windows
[17:39] <desen> HOW ? Live CD does not recognise partitions. tried to format the C and D which belonged to Windows - not allowed
[17:40] <burkmat> Attempting to install Java in order to use applets in Firefox - No success using their installer... Ideas?
[17:40] <ikonia> desen: then your file system is gone - reinstall time
[17:40] <desen> i am working with 2 PCs at a time and 1 monitor LOL will be right back, checking what exactly LiveCD says
[17:40] <hwilde> ZykoticK9, glitsj16, ikonia,   ok intel driver is activated.  now xrandr returns a bunch of resolutions: http://pastebin.com/f54cbace1    but i'm still stuck at 800x600.   suggestions for what is next ?
[17:40] <BrandonL> I have a question regarding programming with ubuntu. I am currently running Vista on this pc and was planning on installing Ubuntu. Can I install Ubuntu on my virtual machine, without having any restrictions that come along with programming on windows. or is it better to just partition and dual OS?
[17:40] <desen> thanx
[17:41] <Geek`N`Proud> BrandonL, generally speaking there isn't any programming limitations within VMs unless you are working on kernel-level stuff
[17:42] <Sirisian|Work> Is it possible in one command line statement to do a find and replace on a file? Like replace all instances of "DeviceURI cupspykota:" with "DeviceURI "?
[17:42] <mattg> hi, I'm one of the developers of Mozilla Prism
[17:42] <mattg> I just upgraded to Ibex and I noticed I get an error when a Prism app is running and I try to log out
[17:42] <mattg> "this program is blocking log out"
[17:42] <BrandonL> Ok, thank you. I am going to start learning Python, and didnt want to hit any brick walls.
[17:42] <glitsj16> hwilde: i have to leave sorry, or my dinner burns down the oven ... but i think you need to add a modeline to your xorg.conf manually, websearch that and look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Resolution if nobody chimes in, best of luck
[17:42] <mattg> I don't know that much about Ubuntu... what do I have to do so my apps quit automatically during log out?
[17:42] <Geek`N`Proud> BrandonL, yeah Python will be fine =]
[17:42] <oshua86> !themes
[17:43] <BrandonL> Thanks, have a good one.
[17:43] <BrandonL> exit
[17:43] <grobda24> How can I force redetection of USB devices and mount them after a USB drive fails to mount at boot time /
[17:43] <grobda24> ?
[17:45] <Sirisian|Work> oh wait nevermind. I figured it out. I must have missed something before
[17:45] <bofh28> hello
[17:45] <hatter243> !welcome | bofh
[17:46] <bofh28> Thank you
[17:46] <oshua86> hey guys, where are the fonts located?
[17:46] <bofh28> Can someone please help compile a driver?
[17:46] <Tymir> grobda24 > force redetection on each boot ?
[17:46] <oshua86> /usr/share/fonts?
[17:46] <s0l1dsnak3123> oshua86: /usr/share/fonts
[17:47] <oshua86> thansk
[17:47] <s0l1dsnak3123> not a problem :)
[17:47] <oshua86> s0l1dsnak3123, so If I have a .ttf file, can i just move it to that folder and then I can use the fonts?
[17:48] <s0l1dsnak3123> yeah, but you'll need to copy it over as root :)
[17:48] <grobda24> Tymir, no, I think it's a script ion /etc/init.d/ ... but is it the udev or the hal one ?
[17:48] <s0l1dsnak3123> so type alt+F2, then type in "gksu nautilus /usr/share/fonts" then press enter
[17:48] <Tymir> look at : dmesg | tail
[17:48] <bofh28> The ubuntu package for my video card driver does not work.  It gives a undefined symbol error.
[17:49] <bofh28> I want to recompile the driver so I can have a working X but when I do a make I get an error
[17:49] <sileni> hey guys
[17:49] <bofh28> No rule to make target 'i128' needed by 'all-am'
[17:49] <sileni> im installing ubuntu 8.10 on my hp mini 1000 netbook
[17:50] <sileni> it has a 15.6 gb ssd
[17:50] <bofh28> What do I need to do to fix it?  Thanks,
[17:50] <sileni> preinstalled with xp .. how do i partition it ?
[17:50] <JoshuaRL> sileni: do you want to keep xp?
[17:50] <sileni> JoshuaRL: yea i want to dual boot
[17:50] <oshua86> s0l1dsnak3123, awesome I didnt know you could do that and open a folder as root, always done it trou cli, now there are 3 folders truetype, type1 and X11, does ti have to go into one of those folders or just the main fonts folder?
[17:51] <s0l1dsnak3123> oshua86, it's a .ttf file, right?
[17:51] <oshua86> s0l1dsnak3123, yes
[17:51] <s0l1dsnak3123> then put it in truetype :)
[17:51] <sipior> bofh28: the missing symbol probably means you need to load another module to meet a dependency.  when exactly did you see the error?
[17:52] <JoshuaRL> sileni: make sure you backup files and defrag first, then use the slider on the install to partition.  I'd suggest at least 6gigs for Ubuntu, and take it easy on installing apps.  If you wanted more room, you could use Xubuntu.  That should run on less space.
[17:52] <ZykoticK9> sipior, bofh28 is trying to compile an X driver, he's getting the error on the "make" step
[17:52] <bofh28> sipior: I see the message undefined symbol xf86usleep after I run startx
[17:52] <sileni> JoshuaRL: what slider?
[17:53] <sipior> ZykoticK9: actually, he said that he saw the error with the ubuntu package, as i recall
[17:53] <vishesh> Hey I have this Intel G35 onboard graphic card. And I don't think the drivers are installed cause whenever I run an openGL application, it runs really sluggishly plus there is nothing about a graphic card in xorg. I have the xorg-intel ... package installed. Any suggestions ?
[17:53] <Iceman_B^Ltop> anyone big on file permissions/ ownership? if a file belongs to User A1, group Spades, and user A1 is member is Spades, can I change file ownership to say, A1 and Hearts?
[17:53] <Iceman_B^Ltop> where user A1 and Group Hearts are unrelated ?
[17:53] <crdlb> vishesh: that is the only intel driver
[17:54] <bofh28> sipior and ZykoticK9: I see the message undefined symbol xf86usleep with the intrepid package.
[17:54] <[biabia]> help? is there an easy way to make a disk quota for a particular user
[17:54] <vishesh> crdlib : So what should I do ?
[17:54] <churl> (12:54:07) churl: audio is muting after restart (AlsaMixer shows that "PCM" is muted after each restart)
[17:54] <hatter243> !quota | [biabia]
[17:54] <hatter243> dang
[17:54] <JoshuaRL> sileni: on the install, once you boot into the LiveCD.  When you click the Install icon on the desktop, it should eventually get to helping you partition
[17:54] <vishesh> crdlib : Whenenver I run an application which uses OpenGL the window flickers  ...
[17:55] <crdlb> vishesh: are you on 8.04 or 8.10?
[17:55] <bofh28> sipior and ZykoticK9: I figured the best way to fix it was to recompile, but if it is a dependency problem that is better
[17:55] <sileni> JoshuaRL: i didn't see any resizing .. it was guided use entire disk.. guided use largest continuous or manual
[17:55] <vishesh> crdlib : 8.10 ...
[17:55] <[biabia]> googling quota is worse. they want me to edit my fstab
[17:55] <sileni> JoshuaRL: manual didn't allow me to use slider or antyhing
[17:55] <hatter243> [biabia], http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=289571
[17:55] <[biabia]> thanks
[17:55] <Jeruvy> Iceman_B^Ltop: sure, 'chown A1 Hearts /path/to/file (if I got that right...)
[17:56] <vishesh> crdlib : I tried running glxgears ... It runs with an amazing framerate "2769 frames in 5.0 seconds = 553.789 FPS", but the screen flickers.
[17:56] <Iceman_B^Ltop> Jeruvy: I know, but will that have any big ramifications for the file?
[17:57] <sipior> bofh28: have you seen this thread: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-i128/+bug/306970 (or perhaps you're one of the commenters there?)
[17:57] <Iceman_B^Ltop> or will it just be like the new group has access, PLUS one user?
[17:57] <Iceman_B^Ltop> I assume that implcitly, a new file belongs to the user that created it and the group that THAT user belongs to
[17:57] <bofh28> sipior: I am Greg
[17:57] <JoshuaRL> sileni: okay, then if you're in manual just resize the partitions instead.  MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP AND DEFRAG, but then shrink the XP partition 6.5 gigs and use the space for two partitions.  one (6 gigs) for Ubuntu, the other (.5 gigs) for SWAP.  It should be one of the filesystems listed there
[17:57] <Cycom> C-S-B: you still around?
[17:57] <sipior> bofh28: thought you might be :-)
[17:57] <crdlb> vishesh: run 'glxinfo | grep -i software'
[17:57] <Ivanlul> Hello I need help, my BIOS wont recognize my harddrive
[17:57] <Jeruvy> Iceman_B^Ltop: that simply adds the file group ownership to the group specified.  What kind of ramifications are you thinking of?
[17:58] <crdlb> vishesh: if that doesn't output anything, then you have 3d acceleration
[17:58] <aheckler> hey all, i'm trying to find out if there's a BASH command that can (using "sudo" of course) move a given file to a random directory in /
[17:58] <Iceman_B^Ltop> Jeruvy: im simply trying to wrap my head around the file permissions/ownership system
[17:58] <sileni> JoshuaRL: im on the same netbook with xp ... and partition magic opened up i can just free up the space using partition magic?
[17:58] <Iceman_B^Ltop> since im new to linux
[17:59] <sileni> JoshuaRL: i just defraged it
[17:59] <ZmAY> how can i format and them mount partition, can i format it in console?
[17:59] <nimda562> Okey, so I need to migrate my passwd database and groups from a freebsd server to an ubuntu server. I have had no luck finding any tools/scripts for this purpose. Any ideas/tips?
[17:59] <ZmAY> then*
[17:59] <Iceman_B^Ltop> hehe, Windows "frags" your filesystem
[17:59] <Jeruvy> Iceman_B^Ltop: see 'on intel only?
[17:59] <Jeruvy> [09:10] * ngipon has joined #vmware
[17:59] <Iceman_B^Ltop> I just now realized how funny that is :)
[17:59] <Ivanlul> I did a switch over of operation systems ( switched ubuntu to the 160 gb hd and windows to the 30gb one ) and now I can't see the 30 gb one
[17:59] <rio> ZmAY: just use mkfs.*
[17:59] <vishesh> crdlib : Yea it isn't outputting anything. Are you sure ? Cause I can't even seem to be able to change my screen Refresh rate (it's stuck at 60) My monitor supports upto 75 ?
[17:59] <JoshuaRL> sileni: that should be fine.  the one for ubuntu should be ext3 filesystem, and the other SWAP.
[17:59] <sipior> bofh28: well, the bug's reported, so you might just be stuck using 8.04 for a little longer. i can try and build the source and replicate the error, but i'm off for home soon. in any event, hope it gets sorted out for you soon.
[17:59] <ZykoticK9> Ivanlul, is it IDE or SATA, if it's IDE verify that it's pinned appropriately for Master/Slave/etc - if it's SATA that's not an issue
[17:59] <grobda24> Which script in init.d will rescan and mount any USB file systems ?
[17:59] <Jeruvy> Iceman_B^Ltop: whoops let me try that again :)
[17:59] <Ivanlul> ide
[18:00] <Ivanlul> I checked
[18:00] <bofh28> sipior: Thanks for the help
[18:00] <Ivanlul> the 30gb one is NTFS with like 8 gigs of files from windows
[18:00] <pinky007> hallo
[18:00] <Ivanlul> but it doesn't actually have the OS on it
[18:00] <sileni> JoshuaRL: ok i have the resize screen opened up and it has free space before, new Size and freespace after i increase the free space after correct?
[18:01] <deany> quick one, im about to installer newer ATI 9.2 driver from 9.1.  I used the wiki guide, and made debs from the .run file.  Do i just install the newer debs ive made or do i have to uninstall the old version
[18:01] <aheckler> i'm trying to find out if there's a BASH command that can (using "sudo" of course) move a given file to a random directory in /
[18:01] <Ivanlul> any Idea on what it could be?
[18:01] <arvind_khadri> hi , i am running a openGL program getting errors, so how do i debug it ?
[18:01] <Pici> aheckler: No. Why would something like that need to exist?
[18:01] <crdlb> vishesh: 60 is fine for an LCD
[18:01] <Pici> Ivanlul: If your BIOS is not seeing your harddrive than Ubuntu support cannot help you, please join ##hardware and ask
[18:01] <Flannel> arvind_khadri: That'd be mv.... (MoVe)
[18:02] <Flannel> er, aheckler
[18:02] <Ivanlul> okay
[18:02] <Jeruvy> Iceman_B^Ltop: for documentation see: info coreutils 'chown invocation'
[18:02] <crdlb> vishesh: btw, there's no 'i' in my nick
[18:02] <JoshuaRL> sileni: yep, windows always wants to be the first partition on the disk, but linux doesnt care :)
[18:02] <rio> ZmAY: its fine to talk here
[18:02] <vishesh> crdllb : Hmmm ... ok I guess (I use 75 on windows) Oh ops sorry.
[18:02] <sileni> wait after i type in 6032 to fiee space after .. it says the new Size is 9.593
[18:02] <istvan_> this sound  problem is killing me. if i use DEFAULT in gtk-record my desktop I get a murmor, or a raspy sound that resembles me talking. how can i fix this?
[18:02] <sileni> JoshuaRL: do i leave it like that or should i add another gig to free space after
[18:03] <hunt577> for some reason Ubuntu 8.04 works on my computer and 8.10 doesn't
[18:03] <vishesh> crdllb : Then do you have anyidea why openGL appications runs so sluggishly ?
[18:03] <Pici> !tab | vishesh
[18:03] <ZmAY> can somebody help me with mks, i want to format partition
[18:03] <ZmAY> mkfs*
[18:03] <vishesh> Hey this is really good ...
[18:04] <aheckler> Pici: well i'm doing a little experiment with a TrueCrypt-encrypted file and i want to "hide" in it someplace inconspicuous
[18:04] <JoshuaRL> sileni: to be clear, it should look like this:  NTFS 7.5gigs;  ext3 6 gigs; SWAP .5 gigs
[18:04] <crdlb> vishesh: mainly because the linux opengl stack is not very well optimized for gaming
[18:04] <rio> ZmAY: i told you to use mkfs.*, whats your question?
[18:04] <crdlb> vishesh: but they're working on it
[18:04] <JoshuaRL> anything else and you risk running out of room on XP or ubuntu.  you're already kinda tight as it is.
[18:04] <hunt577> Anyone know how to change this really stretched screen look on 8.04?
[18:04] <ZykoticK9> vishesh, "glxinfo | grep direct" if it says "direct rendering:  Yes" they you have hardware support, "No" means software and that is always "sluggish"
[18:05] <Pici> aheckler: There are no built in commands to move a file to a random location, but the folks in #bash may be able to help you script something to do that.
[18:05] <crdlb> ZykoticK9: on intrepid, it always says Yes
[18:05] <aheckler> Pici: thanks
[18:05] <hunt577> I need to change the way my screen looks on here
[18:05] <hunt577> on 8.04
[18:05] <sileni> JoshuaRL: why does it say this partition cross the 102 cylinder boundary and may not be bootable
[18:05] <hunt577> its too stretched
[18:05] <hunt577> I am on the livecd
[18:05] <ZykoticK9> crdlb, vishesh ok then trying that is useless... sorry i got nothing.

[18:10] <mattg> is there a better place to ask about what signal intrepid sends to processes during logout?
[18:11] <JoshuaRL> sileni: so the error is gone?
[18:11] <mattg> sigterm definitely kills my app... I can't figure out why it isn't quitting during log out
[18:11] <sileni> JoshuaRL: no its still there
[18:11] <sileni> JoshuaRL: but i don't think its a problem
[18:11] <sileni> JoshuaRL: maybe it says that for all sold state drives
[18:11] <mattg> this problem didn't exist in hardy
[18:11] <default_> a package had a bad "corrupted" install and now it is stuck in there and keeps giving me an error when synaptic is used..  how do I clean that bad install out?

[18:12] <raghav634> may i know how to make flash plugin work on unbuntu
[18:12] <bacon1989> I'd like to know if there is a way to change ubuntu Xorg paramters upon bootup of a CDimage
[18:13] <sileni> raghav634: search for flash on google.. and download and run the script
[18:13] <Tymir> terrestre : foremost ?
[18:13] <cyban> what menu should it go to once installed Pici or someone else?
[18:13] <Pici> cyban: I'm not sure, I'd imagine Applications>Accessories though
[18:13] <raghav634> i have tried installing it a million times, but nothing seems to be working..
[18:14] <JoshuaRL> raghav634: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[18:14] <terrestre> thanks Tymir
[18:14] <JoshuaRL> sileni: whats the exact error?  is there anymore than you pasted?
[18:15] <sileni> JoshuaRL: no its not an error.. its just there on the bottom above the Ok button
[18:15] <cyban> according to synaptic package manager its installed but I cant seem to find it
[18:15] <raghav634> i have tried installing the flash plugin many ways but eventually end up right where i start...
[18:16] <JoshuaRL> raghav634: have you restarted firefox?

[18:17] <pedahzur> Hello!  Is there anyone doing Qt 4.5 builds for Hardy?  And planning on doing PyQt4.5 builds for hardy?  I want to do some Qt 4.5 work, but I'm not ready to move off of an LTS version.
[18:17] <Tymir> raghav634 : "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" doesn't work ?
[18:17] <raghav634> JoshuaRL: yeah, i have restarted the firefox as well as the computer
[18:17] <cyban> I think my install is bad, simple applications like cariro dont install properly and dont load the menu
[18:17] <istvan_> oh, and if i use audacity to record the sound, and use ffmpeg to combine the video and audio i get a 1 second lag per minute ish... why?
[18:17] <LiraNuna> raghav634, then type sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree
[18:18] <LiraNuna> raghav634, wait for it to finish, then type sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[18:18] <LiraNuna> raghav634, then start firefox and go to youtube. tell me if it works
[18:19] <raghav634> LiraNuna: will do.
[18:19] <edi_99> Hi all, I'm kinda a newbie, could someone please help me make this thing here: http://rafb.net/p/UDSydC44.html work?
[18:22] <JoshuaRL> sileni: im seeing that windows needs to end on a cylinder boundary.  in parted magic youre using bytes to assign space, right?

[18:22] <_VIM_> !ops | FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU
[18:22] <sileni> JoshuaRL: megabytes
[18:23] <cyban> anyone? I seem to be missing a menu or something, when I install new applications they dont show up anywhere in the menus
[18:24] <tech_geek> Anyone have experience in using a citrix client?
[18:24] <cyban> ok, I guess I write this off as a defunct OS
[18:24] <edi_99> hey how do I set an environement variable?
[18:25] <kitche> edi_99: export VAR <what you want the var to be>
[18:25] <pedahzur> tech_geek: I've used rdesktop from Linux.  Have you tried that?
[18:25] <brandonban6> cyban, what applications are you referring to? some applications do not have menus.
[18:25] <s0l1dsnak3123> _VIM_ , I clicked on that website that idiot "FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU" linked to (should've known better), I have a static IP, should I be worried?
[18:25] <brandonban6> nm........patience is not a virtue for some :)
[18:25] <LiraNuna> s0l1dsnak3123, no
[18:25] <s0l1dsnak3123> LiraNuna, it said on that page that they were going to log my IP, etc.
[18:25] <LiraNuna> s0l1dsnak3123, he's retarded and should be banned from here
[18:26] <s0l1dsnak3123> LiraNuna, Agreed.
[18:26] <Giant81> no they aren't going to worry about one hit
[18:26] <josh-me> anyone know how to hack gnome-main-menu to add an applications tab/menu like the regular gnome menu's ?
[18:26] <LiraNuna> s0l1dsnak3123, so? I can make a php screen that looks exactly like that
[18:26] <Giant81> it's when the same IP seems to be hitting it constantly
[18:26] <edi_99> kitche: could you please be more specific, I'm kinda new tu ubuntu
[18:26] <LiraNuna> s0l1dsnak3123, it will "log" as wel
[18:26] <s0l1dsnak3123> hmm ok
[18:26] <tech_geek> pedahzur I haven't no
[18:26] <churl> hello again everyone! Audio is muting after restart (AlsaMixer shows that "PCM" is muted after each restart)
[18:26] <bingoxXx> as I login to a ubuntu machine it says couldn't find /home/user directory and sends me to /, so how to set it to /home/user if I do not have the root priviledges?
[18:26] <LiraNuna> edi_99, just install java and you should be fine
[18:26] <Mood> is there a way to get "apt-get install X" to show the current version of the installed app X?
[18:26] <edi_99> LiraNuna: I'm pretty sure Java is already installed
[18:27] <LiraNuna> edi_99, so you can skip the "JAVA_HOME" step
[18:27] <daftykins> yes Mood though i can't remember the format of the command
[18:27] <daftykins> it's something like "apt-get showpkg blah"
[18:27] <Mood> "apt-get --version install X" only shows version of "apt-get"
[18:27] <LiraNuna> Mood, apt-cache policy X
[18:27] <LiraNuna> no need for sudo
[18:27] <Mood> LiraNuna: excellent, thanks LiraNuna and daftykins
[18:27] <edi_99> LiraNuna: but then, if I run the script, nothing happens
[18:28] <LiraNuna> edi_99, what game is it
[18:28] <LiraNuna> did you check that it's not in the repositories?
[18:28] <pedahzur> tech_geek: I've had a lot of success using that to connect to Windows terminal servers, you might give that a try.
[18:28] <edi_99> LiraNuna: emm.. it's kind of a poker analyzer or something like that... not a game actualy; http://www.javaflair.com/pp/download/#Unix_Installation
[18:28] <JoshuaRL> sileni: did you use round numbers?  idk really, gparted is supposed to round to cylinder heads to avoid that
[18:29] <_VIM_> pedahzur:  he left
[18:29] <pedahzur> _VIM_: thanks.
[18:29] <LiraNuna> edi_99, ./run.sh doesn't work?
[18:30] <daftykins> "chmod +x blah.sh" then "./blah.sh"
[18:30] <edi_99> LiraNuna: the computer seems to engage a process, but nothing really happens
[18:30] <LiraNuna> edi_99, liranuna@monster:~/Desktop/PokerProphesier_v1.0.0/bin$ ./run.sh  Testing $JAVA_HOME: ...failed!
[18:30] <LiraNuna> seems like it's custom
[18:31] <edi_99> LiraNuna: what does that mean?
[18:31] <LiraNuna> edi_99, hold on
[18:31] <daftykins> what do you get if you type "echo $JAVA_HOME" ?
[18:31] <LiraNuna> oh wow
[18:31] <LiraNuna> that whole script is just bad
[18:31] <oCean_> edi_99: when JAVA_HOME is set, it runs just fine
[18:32] <akincer1> Trying to enable remote access to mysql. Followed this http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-enable-remote-access-to-mysql-database-server.html
[18:32] <LiraNuna> edi_99,
[18:32] <daftykins> can you get away with setting it as "." oCean_  ?
[18:32] <akincer1> remote connection is being denied, any ideas?
[18:32] <LiraNuna> edi_99, go to the 'lib' directory
[18:32] <LiraNuna> and type:
[18:32] <oCean_> daftykins: lemme try
[18:32] <daftykins> akincer1, are you enabling it on a LiveCD or actual install?
[18:32] <LiraNuna> edi_99, java -server -jar client.jar
[18:32] <akincer1> actual install
[18:33] <LiraNuna> that's basically what the script wants to do. it's just checking unnecessary crap
[18:33] <daftykins> akincer1, what are you connecting from? are you sure you're specifying port 0?
[18:33] <oCean_> daftykins: no. Setting it to export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/
[18:33] <oCean_>  works
[18:33] <raghav634> LiraNuna: no luck... :( i did all that u said, still flash not working......
[18:33] <edi_99> LiraNuna: looks like it's working. Thank you very much for your help
[18:33] <LiraNuna> raghav634, are you sure firefox is closed?
[18:34] <akincer1> daftykins: I'm connecting from another computer on my local network. I'm using port 3306
[18:34] <LiraNuna> raghav634, if you got multi-desktop, firefox might be there somewhere
[18:34] <LiraNuna> edi_99, no problem, the developer just made it complicated for nothing
[18:34] <daftykins> pretty sure the default configured port on ubuntu is 0 for the built in remote desktop, unless you've changed it?
[18:34] <LiraNuna> port 0?
[18:34] <constantine_> hey does anybody know how I can get my virtual desktops back, I can't get more than one row
[18:34] <raghav634> LiraNuna: yup, it was closed when i installed flash....
[18:35] <LiraNuna> the remote desktop port in ubuntu is default VNC - 5900
[18:35] <astrobear> what does what does "echo -e "\007" | sudo tee /dev/tty10" do?"
[18:35] <akincer1> This is MySQL I'm talkinga bout
[18:35] <LiraNuna> raghav634, type killall firefox
[18:35] <heatmzzr> I'm trying to access a network which is winblows based. I can see the other machines on the network but i get an error "unable to mount location, failed to receive share list from server" any suggestions.. I used to be able to access files, now I cant...????
[18:35] <LiraNuna> raghav634, then do what I told you again
[18:35] <daftykins> that's not default LiraNuna , that's what happens when you tick the box and tell it to be 5900 on the advanced page
[18:35] <constantine_> I meant that I can't get a second row of "workspaces"
[18:35] <LiraNuna> daftykins, there is no such thing as port 0...
[18:36] <daftykins> yes there is.
[18:36] <LiraNuna> besides, you'd need root access for ports <1024
[18:36] <daftykins> TCP/UDP ports go from 0 to 65535
[18:36] <LiraNuna> Port 0 is officially a reserved port in TCP/IP networking, meaning that it should not be used for any TCP or UDP network communications.
[18:36] <Acedip> how can i send a private message to a machine on lan ??
[18:36] <daftykins> LiraNuna, here's the deal, i've used a VNC client on a PC to connect to an Ubuntu host by specifying IP_address:0 and it's worked before ;)
[18:37] <LiraNuna> daftykins, you were running root desktop then, congrats
[18:37] <Pici> daftykins: When dealing with VNC, that usually means screen 0, not port 0
[18:37] <kitche> daftykins: :0 is not a port it's means screen 0
[18:37] <daftykins> no i wasn't running root desktop
[18:37] <LiraNuna> haha
[18:37] <LiraNuna> now I get the confusion
[18:37] <LiraNuna> daftykins, read above
[18:37] <raghav634> LiraNuna: it says no process killed..
[18:37] <daftykins> no no no
[18:37] <LiraNuna> raghav634, hmm
[18:37] <daftykins> look at remote desktop general tab
[18:38] <LiraNuna> raghav634, sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree
[18:38] <daftykins> it's very bad notation for them to use :0 and not mean a port
[18:38] <LiraNuna> raghav634, then download http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_10_linux.deb
[18:38] <raghav634> LiraNuna: yeah doing it all over again...
[18:38] <Acedip> how can i send a private message to a machine on lan ??
[18:38] <LiraNuna> raghav634, just remove it, then install the deb I gave you above
[18:39] <sb6789> hi all.  new to linux.  hopefully someone can help.  i have a bluetooth dongle with no documentation.  is there a command in terminal to interrogate all usb devices so i can hunt for a driver?  many thanks.
[18:39] <daftykins> "psusb" sb6789
[18:39] <LiraNuna> sb6789, lsusb
[18:39] <daftykins> oops
[18:39] <daftykins> lsusb
[18:40] <daftykins> i still argue this statement :P
[18:40] <sb6789> many thanks! Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
[18:40] <daftykins> "Users can view your desktop using this command: vinagre hostname:0"
[18:40] <daftykins> then if you look at "man vinagre"
[18:40] <daftykins> "Usage: vinagre [OPTION...] [server:port] - VNC client for GNOME"
[18:41] <dinesh372> how can i access gcc library
[18:42] <Dreamglider-> Can anyone help me to setup dual monitor's, im using 8.04lts, the grapic card is an ati radeon x1400.
[18:42] <LiraNuna> dinesh372, gcc library? you mean C/C++ standard library?
[18:42] <dinesh372> liranuna : yes
[18:42] <daftykins> install 8.10 ^_^
[18:42] <LiraNuna> dinesh372, normally?
[18:42] <raghav634> LiraNuna: when i try to install it says error: a later version already installed
[18:42] <LiraNuna> dinesh372, #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf(...); }
[18:42] <LiraNuna> dinesh372, !?
[18:43] <dinesh372> LiraNuna : yes
[18:43] <LiraNuna> dinesh372, I'm confused
[18:43] <dinesh372> LiraNuna:actually i want to see the contents of a header file in gcc
[18:44] <LiraNuna> dinesh372, that is more specific - headers are located in /usr/include
[18:45] <dinesh372> LiraNuna : how can i get there
[18:45] <LiraNuna> dinesh372, open up nautilus and browse there?
[18:45] <dinesh372> LiraNuna: what is nautilus
[18:46] <LiraNuna> dinesh372, Places -> Home
[18:46] <mahfiaz> dinesh372, default file manager
[18:46] <C-S-B> nautilus  is the file browser
[18:46] <LiraNuna> then use "UP" button
[18:46] <LiraNuna> until you can't anymore
[18:46] <LiraNuna> then choose "usr" then choose "include"
[18:46] <fosco__> wow...
[18:47] <vishesh> Hey I just checked and ubuntu shows that I have openGl v 1.3 installed. Is there any way I can install ver 2.0 as my graphic card currently supports it ?
[18:47] <daftykins> what would be the point?
[18:47] <daftykins> you running some latest games under Ubuntu? ;)
[18:47] <LiraNuna> vishesh, you got what OpenGL version your card supports - opengl 1.3 is the version in the development library
[18:48] <bluespuke> Hi ppl
[18:48] <vishesh> No I'm trying to learn how to use OpenGL (programming) and I would like to learn v2.0
[18:48] <dinesh372> LiraNuna: thanks
[18:48] <bluespuke> what's the standard suond server of intrepid?
[18:48] <LiraNuna> vishesh, you need to learn to import function
[18:48] <LiraNuna> vishesh, even windows doesn't have "opengl 2.0" includes
[18:48] <daftykins> intrepid runs pulseaudio on top of ALSA afaik
[18:48] <vishesh> LiraNuna: What do you mean import ? Oh ...
[18:49] <alexmar3007> hi, the panel at the top is disappeared, can you help me please?
[18:49] <LiraNuna> vishesh, get function address from glx
[18:49] <fosco__> alexmar3007, can you open a terminal?
[18:49] <LiraNuna> glXGetFunctionAddress() or something, I don't remember
[18:49] <C-S-B> alexmar3007, just right click add panel
[18:49] <LiraNuna> vishesh, even windows and mac needs to do it
[18:49] <C-S-B> *left click
[18:50] <vishesh> LiraNuna: Uhm I don't understand, where and how do I use this function ?
[18:50] <LiraNuna> vishesh, start learning opengl
[18:50] <LiraNuna> when time comes, you'll be taught to import functions from openg 2.0
[18:51] <alexmar3007> i can't add any new panel
[18:51] <LiraNuna> vishesh, 1.3 means what include version you have, it's still possible to use 2.0
[18:51] <sileni> hey guys im trying to partition using the installer for ubuntu 8.10 but i don't see resize anywhere... im under manual thats the right place correct?
[18:51] <LiraNuna> vishesh, in windows openGL version is 1.1, you see no one complains
[18:51] <vishesh> LiraNuna: uhm .. oh okie. I'm using the Red book .. will that be ok ? Oh .. this is just somewhat confusing !!
[18:51] <LiraNuna> vishesh, the red book will teach you that
[18:51] <LiraNuna> vishesh, it's at the eeeend of it
[18:51] <LiraNuna> let me fetch it
[18:52] <vishesh> LiraNuna: Alright, Thanks a ton !! :-)
[18:52] <bluespuke> daftykins: and how should i configure ubuntu to use it? my system sounds aren't working anymore since i tryed a headset with c-media sound card :(
[18:52] <josh-l> can anyone help me figure out how to import (this particular) svn code: https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/gnome-main-menu/trunk
[18:52] <daftykins> hit alt+f2 then type "gnome-terminal" and hit enter alexmar3007
[18:52] <LiraNuna> vishesh, what version is your red book?
[18:52] <daftykins> did audio work from that, bluespuke  ?
[18:52] <vijay> does any one know ,how can i fix font for apps instaled through wine. when i install something using wine the font seemed to bedistored
[18:53] <bluespuke> yes before the headset everything was fine
[18:53] <daftykins> try installing the package "msttcorefonts" vijay
[18:53] <vijay> ok
[18:53] <daftykins> not sure if it'll help but it's a start
[18:53] <vishesh> LiraNuna: Fifth Edition ... Version 2
[18:53] <LiraNuna> vishesh, mine's Sixth, it's in chapter 14
[18:53] <alexmar3007> daftykins: where have i to hit the command?
[18:54] <sileni> C-S-B: halp
[18:54] <LiraNuna> don't jump into it yet, I can guarantee you that 1.3 means totally NOTHING. you can safely code and you'll be able to use up to 2.1
[18:54] <daftykins> pressing Alt+F2 should bring up a dialogue box for "run command" ?
[18:54] <lo127> anyone ever mounted a truecrypt volume from the terminal?
[18:56] <bluespuke> or is there any way to 'reset' the sound settings to the system defaults?
[18:56] <vishesh> LiraNuna: Alright. One last question : will I be able to create textures which are not to the power of 2 ?
[18:57] <mahfiaz> bluespuke, your personal ones?
[18:57] <LiraNuna> vishesh, sure - though I advise you to check for the extension before you do so
[18:57] <LiraNuna> vishesh, the red and orange book will help
[18:57] <bluespuke> arf, not just settings, i mean the sound server settings, wich server to use and that stuff
[18:57] <LiraNuna> vishesh, you're using ogl 2.1, NOT 1.3
[18:58] <vishesh> LiraNuna: But the headers ? Oh ok I'll just take you word for it !!
[18:58] <LiraNuna> vishesh, 1.3 is the version of the headers, to check runtime version see glGetString(GL_VERSION)
[18:59] <skellar> Hi all
[18:59] <lo127> truecrypt anyone?
[18:59] <LiraNuna> vishesh, try printf("%s\n", glGetString(GL_VERSION));
[18:59] <LiraNuna> vishesh, you'll get 2.1 or even better
[19:00] <Awsoonn> ping MacSlow
[19:00] <daftykins> but did the headset work alright when you connected it bluespuke ?
[19:01] <bluespuke> daftykins: no i had some problems with it and a tuto  told me to use alsa with it
[19:01] <daftykins> ah right
[19:01] <vishesh> LiraNuna:  Tried it .. .v 1.4 Mesa 7.2 !! This sucks !!
[19:01] <LiraNuna> vishesh, mesa? do you have your drivers installed
[19:01] <don> question, i just did an auto update, just random packages.... im using 8.04 and my nvidia drivers have vanished
[19:02] <Guest72593> i cannot enable them in hardware drivers as they are no longer there
[19:02] <Guest72593> my xorg.conf is pretty bare as well
[19:02] <vishesh> LiraNuna: Yea I do. I have an Intel G35 graphic card. The drviers are installed but there is nothing about that in xorg.
[19:02] <LiraNuna> vishesh, does glxgears work
[19:03] <nageltass> hjälp
[19:03] <vishesh> LiraNuna: and there is the fact that even simple OpenGl Apllication (rendering a box) fickers. Yes glxGears works fine with a framerae of about 500. But the screen flickers a little bit !!
[19:03] <LiraNuna> vishesh, you're using mesa - mesa is a software renderer
[19:03] <LiraNuna> vishesh, you need to install your drivers
[19:04] <vishesh> LiraNuna: Uhh Any idea how to change that ... They are installed !!
[19:04] <sileni> (02:03:56 PM) sileni: hey guys xubuntu is lighter than the normal ubuntu 8.10 right.. . and later i would be able to do anything that normal ubuntu can ?
[19:04] <sileni> (02:04:04 PM) sileni: mainly just school work
[19:04] <daftykins> probably sileni yeah
[19:05] <vishesh> LiraNuna: I installed xserver-xorg-video-intel ... that is the only one available !!
[19:05] <daftykins> but then normal ubuntu is capable of running on pretty low spec too, so either should be fine
[19:05] <LiraNuna> vishesh, no need to add "!!" after everly line
[19:05] <_VIM_> vishesh:  Are the explination points necessary!! It kind of sounds demanding!! ;
[19:05] <_VIM_> :)
[19:05] <LiraNuna> vishesh, I don't know enough of Intel drivers
[19:06] <LiraNuna> does Intel G35 even supports gl 2.0?
[19:06] <Steph1en> question, i just installed ubuntu on an old thinkpad i1200. it boots to a black screen. google turned up an answer: "You should add following boot-options: vga=792 acpi=force irqpoll". How do i do that?
[19:06] <vishesh> LiraNuna: : That wasn't my intention .. Just somewhat a reflex. I tend to use exclamation point excessively. And yea it does.
[19:06] <daftykins> excessive punctuation genuinely defines age range of the offendor ;)
[19:06] <vishesh> LiraNuna:  see http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/chipsets/g35/g35-overview.htm
[19:07] <daftykins> offender too
[19:07] <xnox> I'm going to install ubuntu on another computer. I want to install same set of packages I have installed now. How can I generate a long apt-get string with all the packages I have currently installed.
[19:07] <DJones> !clone | xnox
[19:07] <LiraNuna> vishesh, was there already
[19:07] <daftykins> xnox all the packages should be in /var/cache/apt/archives
[19:07] <arvind_khadri> Steph1en, put them in your menu.lst in the kernel line
[19:08] <crazyryan_a> Is there anyway I can pause a zip operation? Like I'm running zip * and it's using up a lot of server CPU so can I pause it for a while some how?
[19:08] <Steph1en> arvind_khadri, so do that and reinstall to the laptop?
[19:08] <Keroman> Wow, lots of users. :P
[19:08] <lastent> hi, which is a good CAD program?
[19:08] <arvind_khadri> Steph1en, ya do that and reinstall grub
[19:09] <vishesh> LiraNuna: Any clues as to what I could do now ?
[19:09] <_VIM_> lastent: rumour has it there really are no 3D CAD programs but there are a few good 2d ones, I believe qcad is one of them...
[19:09] <LiraNuna> vishesh, research about G35 ubuntu drivers, the xserver-xorg-video-intel is not the right one
[19:09] <_VIM_> for linux i meant
[19:10] <Keroman> If anybody's got the time and the know-how I could use some help getting wi-fi running on Ubuntu 8.10.  I'm in no hurry, so if you're busy I can wait.
[19:10] <vishesh> LiraNuna: Alright, Thanks for your help. :-)
[19:10] <lastent> thanks _VIM_
[19:10] <daftykins> what's your wireless hardware?
[19:10] <WorldBFree> how can i boot 8.04.1 without the dvd?  ive done it before with other distros
[19:11] <daftykins> boot a LiveCD without the disc? hahaha
[19:11] <zenwryly> Somehow I just did something so that Control-s no longer invokes isearch in my shells.  This is true for a freshly launched gnome-terminal or an xterm and has persisted past a reboot.  It worked before.  Any idea what I might have done?
[19:12] <Keroman> daftykins: It's a laptop with a built-in wi-fi card, the Broadcom 4306.  I followed the instructions for installing ndiswrapper, ndisgtk, and ndiswrapper utils and using those to run the Windows drivers but it's still not going anywhere for me.
[19:12] <xnox> daftykins: well some of them are in apt cache but i did do autoclean not long time ago....
[19:12] <daftykins> ah ok xnox, fair enough
[19:12] <daftykins> last time i used a laptop with broadcom wireless it suggested downloading something Keroman and i got it working from that, some script and a firmware download
[19:13] <daftykins> i would've thought ndiswrapper wasn't the only option
[19:13] <WorldBFree> daftykins its actually quite possible.  i have it downloaded but i dont have any blank cds lying around
[19:13] <maalicious> hulloa all!!
[19:14] <Keroman> daftykins: Well I don't have any internet connection on the laptop right now, just my desktop, which I'm on.  I installed the ndiswrapper stuff from the Live CD I burnt, but any other files I've had to download on the desktop and transfer with my USB drive.
[19:14] <daftykins> yeah that's how i got this laptop working too Keroman
[19:14] <WorldBFree> i assume its some sort of combination of extracting initrd and vmlinuz or something and adjusting grub accordingly
[19:14] <daftykins> oh you've already got a Linux distro installed, WorldBFree  ?
[19:14] <Vito84> can anyone help me? How can i log on to my ubuntu with root rights?
[19:14] <Keroman> Alright, well I'll keep looking around to see what I can do.
[19:14] <daftykins> Vito84, login as user then type "sudo su"
[19:15] <WorldBFree> yeah, i basically just want to mount the image to boot
[19:15] <daftykins> Keroman, with the one i got working a message came up during boot saying what to do
[19:15] <daftykins> so try a fresh boot and check out "dmesg"
[19:15] <paul68> when I want to install the nfs server on Hardy I get this error messages can someone help me out here? this is the message I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/126880/
[19:15] <Vito84> thx dafty
[19:15] <Keroman> By a fresh boot you mean just restart?  And how do I use dmesg?
[19:16] <daftykins> open a terminal and type "dmesg" or "dmesg | tail"
[19:16] <daftykins> and yeah clean boot
[19:16] <Keroman> Okay, shutting down now.
[19:17] <Rave1_> WorldBFree,  the software Unetbootin claims to allow a frugal install and boot from a image on a HD I have not tryed it myself
[19:17] <Vito84> I still cant change some files...??? it says im not the owner so i cant change it
[19:17] <DJones> Keroman: Does the laptop also have a wired connection? If so, all I did to get my broadcom 4306 working was to connect to the router by cable, open up System, Administration, Hardware Drivers and the 4306 chipset was detected, then it automatically downloaded fwcutter and the correct driver, disconnect the cable and reboot and it worked perfectly
[19:17] <daftykins> what are you trying to do Vito84 ?
[19:18] <daftykins> yeah i think that's what i did DJones
[19:18] <Vito84> im trying to change epson.conf a sane scanner tool file but it wont let me change that file
[19:18] <daftykins> there was a message during boot time of what to get
[19:18] <jrib> paul68: first step is to check for open bugs.  Have you searched bugs.ubuntu.com yet?
[19:18] <Keroman> DJones: I might just have to try that if this doesn't work.  I just don't have my router near any computers so if I plug in there my only internet connection will be the laptop I'm working on.
[19:18] <daftykins> program might be open that's using the file Vito84
[19:18] <paul68> jrib: no I didn't
[19:19] <jrib> paul68: ok, see if anything is there
[19:19] <livingdaylight> i have issues with Istanbul
[19:19] <dieselsmoke> Vito84: have you tried onfiguring the printer using Cups?
[19:19] <paul68> jrib:  as you can see I get the error messages on configuring stuff
[19:19] <WorldBFree> well i would prefer to just edit grub and use the proper boot files.  im not sure what ubuntu requires though
[19:20] <Vito84> not trying to get the printer working it works fine but its a printer and scanner thats why im tryin to get the scanning part work
[19:20] <paul68> jrib: since this is the first time I ran into this problem I ran straight out here tried to remove and reinstall but no such luck
[19:20] <oser1> hi there, i am running windows at the moment and would like to install ubuntu 9.04 alpha 5 off a 8GB usb stick I have
[19:20] <oser1> what's the best way to go about this?
[19:20] <_VIM_> !jaunty | oser1
[19:20] <daftykins> put the USB down and get a CD-R :)
[19:20] <livingdaylight> wanted to do a screenlet and so dl Istanbul... When launching there is a red bottom in top panel. I click it to start and to finish but when i click on it to finish it changes color to grey but nothing happens.... There is a square box which says it saving it.... but its been there for 10mins now.
[19:20] <Vito84> thought as root i could change and do anything on my machine
[19:20] <Keroman> oser1: First make sure your computer's bios will allow booting from a USB drive
[19:21] <livingdaylight> I've purge-removed it and reinstalled it but it acts the same
[19:21] <oser1> Keroman, I am on an apple macbook
[19:22] <paul68> jrib: can you guide me through please
[19:22] <Keroman> Ah, alright, daftykins, it looks like it's saying to download the correct drivers.  I'll go hook up wired and let it do its thing.
[19:22] <dieselsmoke> Vito84: try sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys stop then try editing. how are you trying to edit the file?
[19:22] <daftykins> cool Keroman  :)
[19:22] <oser1> i just installed ubuntu 8.10 onto a sony viao with no difficulties using the usb stick but for my own laptop i'm happy running development versions
[19:22] <sileni> Keroman: you just type dmesg in a terminal
[19:22] <daftykins> was that in dmesg?
[19:22] <Vito84> text editor
[19:22] <Keroman> daftykins: Yeah.
[19:22] <libertarian4life> Iam adding a new hard drive, Im wondering how to partition a few more gigs for linux, while leaving the rest for windows..
[19:22] <_VIM_> Vito84:  a good one like VIM correct?
[19:23] <dieselsmoke> Vito84: using sudo or gksudo or whatever rights while editing?
[19:23] <jrib> paul68: I'll help you troubleshoot it if there's no open bug on it.  Did you search the tracker?
[19:23] <daftykins> libertarian4life, apt-get install gparted
[19:23] <Keroman> Thanks for the help guys.  I'll be back if I'm running into any more problems and can't figure them out with a google search.
[19:23] <skellar> (/msg NickServ REGISTER skellaris skellar@rambler.ru
[19:23] <_VIM_> ouch
[19:24] <_VIM_> that sucks
[19:24] <daftykins> hehe
[19:24] <paul68> jrib: like I said its the first time I ran into this type of trouble and since I'am a intermediate user I kindly apreciate any advice on howto
[19:24] <daftykins> IRC 101: never issue commands in channel windows
[19:24] <jrib> paul68: I'm just asking you to go to bugs.ubuntu.com, look at the open bugs for the nfs packages and see if your issue is there.  What version of ubuntu by the way?
[19:24] <paul68> jrib: its hardy server edition
[19:25] <jrib> paul68: look at bug 308537
[19:25] <Vito84> isnt there a simple way to get full access?
[19:25] <Vito84> root doesnt work
[19:25] <_VIM_> !sudo
[19:25] <ed0n0n> Im buying a UPS and wanted to know if there is any good choice for linux
[19:26] <hunt577> Hi everyone.  Ubuntu 8.10 32 bit version will not work properly on my computer, its very laggy and just unusable.  Ubuntu 8.04 works but has a really ugly stretched screen that I can't seem to get fixed.  Any recommendations on what Linux operating system I should try?
[19:26] <sileni> (02:14:31 PM) sileni: i bought the hp mini 1000 and it came preloaded with xp
[19:26] <dieselsmoke> Vito84: the sudo su command won't work under 'normal' circumstances.
[19:26] <sileni> (02:15:49 PM) sileni: i want to dual boot ubuntu so i downloaded ubuntu 8.10 into the 2 gb usb drive and started the installer.. when it came to the partition part it won't let me resize the windows xp partition. I have 15.6 gb total disk space and xp already takes up 6 GB so i thought i would let xp have 8gb and the rest would go for ubuntu. Can someone help me get through this ?
[19:26] <theunixgeek> How do I convert Traditional Chinese to Simplified Chinese within PDF documents?
[19:26] <dieselsmoke> Vito84: in a terminal, sudo nano /etc/filename.conf
[19:26] <libertarian4life> okay, Im in Gparted, and have the hard drive in question. I right click > format to> ??
[19:26] <cabl3n3k3> Anybody recommend good software to handle raw image files?
[19:27] <Vito84> ok it opens that file
[19:27] <Vito84> ill try to change it
[19:27] <_VIM_> cabl3n3k3: apt-cache search raw       and see what shows up
[19:27] <vimpulse> !cn
[19:27] <dieselsmoke> Vito84: ctrl+x to save when finished.
[19:27] <vimpulse> theunixgeek:  try asking there ^^
[19:27] <Ienorand> sileni: in what way does it complain?
[19:27] <mahfiaz> cabl3n3k3, use google: http://www.linux.com/feature/56128
[19:28] <theunixgeek> vimpulse: I'm not sure how to ask the question in Chinese though :P I'll use Google Translate ;)
[19:28] <vimpulse> theunixgeek:  try asking in english there.
[19:28] <paul68> jrib: I also found bug 213444
[19:28] <mahfiaz> hunt577, what computer it is?
[19:28] <theunixgeek> vimpulse: I did
[19:28] <theunixgeek> How do I convert Traditional Chinese to Simplified Chinese within PDF documents?
[19:28] <Ienorand> sileni: tried the manual partition config option?
[19:28] <cabl3n3k3> Well clearly, not all software is made equal. I was asking for some opinions.  But thanks.
[19:28] <theunixgeek> vimpulse: is that not in English? :P
[19:28] <sileni> lenorand: yes
[19:28] <vimpulse> theunixgeek:  it is.  :)
[19:28] <theunixgeek> lol
[19:29] <sileni> lenorand, it just won't let me resize more than 8 mb
[19:29] <libertarian4life> what file extention (Like NTFS) should i format my extra hard drive too, so that i can save/install programs on it?
[19:29] <sam555> hello all!
[19:29] <hunt577> mahfiaz, its an HP G60
[19:29] <hunt577> lap top
[19:29] <sam555> has anyone installed lamp on ubuntu?
[19:29] <sam555> if so, how does one create a db
[19:29] <dieselsmoke> libertarian4life: ext3
[19:29] <sam555> apparently i need to have a password
[19:29] <erUSUL> !lamp | sam555
[19:30] <erUSUL> libertarian4life: for linux standar is ext3
[19:30] <dieselsmoke> Question, I never use them but do you use gksu OR gksudo? anyone
[19:30] <_VIM_> gksudo
[19:30] <erUSUL> dieselsmoke: they are the same thing one is a symlink to the other
[19:30] <vimpulse> sam555:  why do you want lamp?
[19:30] <_VIM_> but i think they're symlinked
[19:30] <dieselsmoke> thanks _VIM_
[19:30] <glitsj16> cabl3n3k3: there's a very recent review of RAW tools for linux at http://darrenyates.com.au/?p=705 that might be informative
[19:30] <dieselsmoke> erUSUL: roger that, tanks.
[19:30] <daftykins> libertarian4life> what file extention (Like NTFS) should i format my extra hard drive too, so that i can save/install programs on it?
[19:30] <vimpulse> cabl3n3k3:  raw photos?
[19:30] <daftykins> file SYSTEM, not extension
[19:31] <daftykins>  a file extension is the letters after the . after a filename
[19:31] <cabl3n3k3> Yes, thanks.
[19:31] <libertarian4life> thanks
[19:31] <Ienorand> Is ubuntu documentation down atm?
[19:31] <craigbass1976> Anyone ever printed to one of those epson cd printers from ubuntu?
[19:31] <vimpulse> craigbass1976:  i haven't.  why would it be difficult?
[19:31] <libertarian4life> last question- create as "primary" or "extended?
[19:31] <churl> I just installed kde desktop environment with my default xfce.   do i want my default display manager to be gdm or kdm?
[19:32] <theunixgeek> churl: your choice
[19:32] <mahfiaz> cabl3n3k3, I suggest at least trying f-spot, this is pretty good for archiving purposes
[19:32] <theunixgeek> churl: gdm is the GNOME login screen; KDM - KDE's
[19:32] <cabl3n3k3> glitsj16: thanks for that link, very helpful
[19:32] <theunixgeek> churl: I prefer GDM, but that's personal
[19:32] <hunt577> mahfiaz, 8.10 loads very oddly...the top of the screen has to load to the bottom and then it displays properly, really odd...but its unbearable to use because of the slowness
[19:32] <churl> theunixgeek: thanks, got it
[19:32] <dieselsmoke> Ienorand: looks like they're overloaded, so yes they're down.
[19:32] <hunt577> 8.04 works fine...no lag or slowness, yet that stretched out screen I can't deal with
[19:32] <craigbass1976> vimpulse, epson seems determined to thwart anything but xp or vista...  I'm in the process of screeching at it, but thought I'd ask for a quick fix before I dug too far
[19:33] <glitsj16> cabl3n3k3: you're welcome, have to look into the same topic soon, had it bookmarked, enjoy
[19:33] <sam555> vimpulse: i've already installed LAMP
[19:33] <sam555> just having trouble creating a db in mysql
[19:33] <vimpulse> craigbass1976:  did you already buy the printer?  from where?
[19:34] <vimpulse> sam555:  why do you want LAMP?  what are you gonna run on it?
[19:34] <sam555> i'm running a db on mysql
[19:34] <sam555> not using the other stuff atm
[19:34] <craigbass1976> vimpulse, I didn't buy it, setting it up for a friend.
[19:34] <craigbass1976> vimpulse, but it's here and paid for...
[19:34] <vimpulse> craigbass1976:  where and when did they buy it?
[19:34] <craigbass1976> The other day, and I don't know.  I imagine wal mart or something
[19:35] <vimpulse> craigbass1976:  try asking in #cups.  if it doesn't work, return it to the store and write an email to Epson about why you returned it.
[19:35] <Ienorand> sileni: So if I understand you right you can only resize current XP partition to 6.008 GB from original 6 GB? Are there currently any other partitons on the drive?
[19:35] <Vito84> i can edit the file now. it worked with sudo nano. but why cant i edit it with the text editor?
[19:35] <mahfiaz> hunt577, what exactly is slow? moving windows? opening files? starting programs? typing text in openoffice?
[19:35] <AJC_Z0> Sound stopped working after I played through my laptop speakers, then closed it and plugged in my headphones. Suggestions for getting sound back without leaving my current Gnome session? Ubuntu 8.10 desktop using pulseaudio with no previous audio problems
[19:35] <daftykins> you probably ran it wrong Vito84
[19:36] <mathieu_> Hello
[19:37] <mathieu_> I screwed up in the middle of an upgrade to jaunty... now I have an hybrid system that can not install (stuck at some python dependencies it seems)
[19:37] <dieselsmoke> Vito84: contradicting statement, can you explain what doesn't work/?
[19:37] <AJC_Z0> Volume is up for everything: pulseaudio bar in alsamixer, all sliders in gnome-volume-control and the headphones are plugged into the right jack
[19:37] <mathieu_> any clue how to fix?
[19:38] <hunt577> mahfiaz, everything is slow...any application or program that I open has a bad lag, you can even see the cursor pause because of the lag
[19:38] <glitsj16> AJC_Z0: have you tried restarting the pulseaudio daemon yet ?
[19:38] <dieselsmoke> mathieu_: any older kernels in the grub menu?
[19:38] <AfterDeath> Hi, I'm working with a fresh ubuntu install, with the only change that I know of being that all recent updates were installed. When I go to open openoffice writer, all of the menus/dialogs are broken. It shows the text for all the menu items *really* briefly, and then it disappears
[19:39] <AfterDeath> When the text disappears, the underscores still remain, but that's all.
[19:39] <AfterDeath> similarly, when I go to the print dialog (for example), it shows it, but no text - just underscores
[19:40] <AJC_Z0> glitsj16: Yes, I did, with "sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart". No difference
[19:40] <daftykins> try creating a new user and see if the problem exists with that account too AfterDeath
[19:40] <mathieu_> dieselsmoke: this is not a kernel issue. Im currently on this machine but can not apt-get anything (nor can run the recommended dpkg --configure -a command)
[19:40] <surgy> how do i make my desktop into a terminal? anyone know of any tutorials?
[19:41] <AfterDeath> daftykins: I tried rm -rf ~/.openoffice* (which deleted the openoffice preferences folder), but that didn't fix it
[19:41] <dieselsmoke> mathieu_: i was going to suggest booting a previous kernel to troubleshoot.
[19:41] <daftykins> yeah i would've suggested that
[19:41] <daftykins> but decided not to
[19:41] <fosco__> surgy, what? "make my desktop into a terminal"?
[19:41] <glitsj16> AJC_Z0: not sure if i get your specific issue after re-reading your former entrees though .. you want sound from both external speakers and headphones simultaneously ?
[19:42] <AfterDeath> I'm wondering if it's missing a font or somesuch
[19:42] <mathieu_> dieselsmoke: im remote... plus the kernel is fine, its the apt/dpkg database that is corrupt
[19:42] <Golgata> hi everybody... anyone knows how "add/remove software" can disappear from my menu?
[19:42] <surgy> fosco_, as in make a conpletely transparent console over my desktop automaticly at startup
[19:42] <vimpulse> Golgata:  dunno.  but you can start it manually:  sudo gnome-app-install
[19:43] <AJC_Z0> glitsj16: No, I want sound to work again, as I have none through either speakers or headphones
[19:43] <dieselsmoke> mathieu_: there are ways to fix that, ask about fixing it. i don't recall the bot factoid.
[19:43] <Huufarted> Question for any frequent FTP users out there:  Is there a way to send or receive one single file using a single ftp command similar to how rsync can take a single command?
[19:43] <daftykins> "man ftp" ? ;)
[19:44] <wikzo> I want to install these icons in Ubuntu 8.10: http://mathilde.deviantart.com/art/Sketchy-icons-17987739 How do I do it? If I try to add the folder to the theme manager, it says that it is not a legal theme...
[19:44] <vimpulse> Huufarted:  try lftp or ncftpget or ncftpput or gftp-text
[19:44] <vimpulse> Huufarted:  the nc utils are part of ncftp.
[19:44] <Golgata> vimpulse: thank you, i'll try this first... maybe a clue: after one of the last updates, my mainuser was just in his own group, had to set his groups manually with a install cd... afterwards, the "add/remove software" thing had disappeared, but though im in most groups now, it hasnt come back :D
[19:44] <arvind_khadri> !frostwire > me

[19:45] <Steph1en> ok, i just installed ubuntu on an old thinkpad. i get to the ubuntu loading bar and then i just get a blank screen. :/
[19:45] <vimpulse> Huufarted:  why do you use ftp?  it is insecure.
[19:45] <NDS|Brandon> :| can anyone tell me why my dell wont boo itnto ubuntu :|
[19:45] <Steph1en> i'm think the resolution is too high?
[19:45] <_VIM_> ty vimpulse, I was gonna say the same ;)

[19:46] <vimpulse> Huufarted:  ah.
[19:46] <Chris___> been trying for 3 days to get ubuntu added as dual boot on raid-1 mirrored xp drive.  it was working last night
[19:46] <daftykins> BLTnoTomato, "sudo mount -t cifs //IP address/share /place/to/mount/to/"
[19:46] <vimpulse> sileni:  any luck?
[19:46] <amikrop> How is this method called? : You insert a usb stick to your laptop, and you have internet connection through a mobile phone network.
[19:46] <BLTnoTomato> daftykins, thanks
[19:47] <Chris___> something happened and now it's trying to load stage2 from hd(3,4) whereas all grub should load from (hd0,4)
[19:47] <vimpulse> amikrop:  it depends which country you are in
[19:47] <amikrop> Because I want to search for this method + ubuntu
[19:47] <Chris___> can anybody advise how to resolve?
[19:47] <NDS|Brandon> Ok, I have a Dell Optiplex GX260, and I get an error with my I/O
[19:47] <amikrop> in google
[19:47] <daftykins> USB dongle for mobile data connection amikrop
[19:47] <mahfiaz> hunt577, does dmesg show anything strange? is there a program eating cpu time?
[19:47] <NDS|Brandon> I have tried liek 6 distros
[19:47] <_VIM_> !enter
[19:47] <glitsj16> AJC_Z0: fair enough :) .. i'd browse the forums and re-check all pulseaudio settings with guidance from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578
[19:47] <hunt577> mahfiaz, I only run ubuntu through the livecd for now, so no
[19:47] <wikzo> I want to install these icons in Ubuntu 8.10: http://mathilde.deviantart.com/art/Sketchy-icons-17987739 How do I do it? If I try to add the folder to the theme manager, it says that it is not a legal theme...
[19:47] <Golgata> oh, another thing: when clicking "system >> administration >> users and groups" i am told i dont have the right to access. another idea? on which group does this feature depend?
[19:48] <hunt577> mahfiaz, initially I thought it was just the livecd, but when I installed it last night the lag was still there so its not the livecd.  I am just using the livecd for now
[19:48] <AJC_Z0> glitsj16: Thanks for your help
[19:48] <vimpulse> NDS|Brandon:  does Windows work?
[19:48] <_VIM_> Golgata: did you hit "unlock" button
[19:48] <Golgata> _VIM_: which unlock button?
[19:48] <hunt577> mahfiaz, I also tried burning another downloaded copy but that didn't seem to work, I even tried CD-R and DVD+R to see if that was the issue
[19:48] <mmrnhrmn> anyone have any idea about the Time Stamp Authority question?
[19:48] <vimpulse> NDS|Brandon:  2.  does your CD drive work perfectly?
[19:48] <NDS|Brandon> :| Ok here goes, I have a Dell Optiples GX260, with 1.4 GB of ram and 10 GB alloted to Linux. I have tried like 6 distros and I always get the following error, "Buffer I/O eror on Device SR0, Logical Block 357794"
[19:49] <_VIM_> Golgata: on the Users GUI
[19:49] <_VIM_> you should see a "unlock" button
[19:49] <hunt577> mahfiaz, and for some reason 8.04 works, but has a nasty stretched screen.  Maybe HP just doesn't want me having anything other than Vista, LOL
[19:49] <vimpulse> NDS|Brandon:  what is SR0?
[19:49] <NDS|Brandon> Im not sure
[19:49] <NDS|Brandon> :|
[19:49] <jimdb_> NDS|Brandon: Most likely a faulty he'd
[19:50] <jimdb_> Hdd
[19:50] <amikrop> vimpulse, daftykins: ok, thank you
[19:50] <Golgata> _VIM_: sorry, i dont, but maybe im looking in the wrong place?
[19:50] <vimpulse> amikrop:  you're welcome
[19:50] <Supersaiyan_IV> NDS|Brandon, have you run built-in bios tests?
[19:50] <NDS|Brandon> I did
[19:50] <NDS|Brandon> said everything was a ok
[19:50] <vimpulse> amikrop:  here in Canada they call it a "mobile Internet stick".
[19:50] <_VIM_> Golgata:  no it's on the Users Settings GUI,  System > Administration > Users And Groups
[19:50] <Supersaiyan_IV> NDS|Brandon, interesting
[19:50] <vimpulse> NDS|Brandon:  does Windwos work?
[19:51] <NDS|Brandon> My CD ROM drive should work, although I will try anything if you think it will help, how can I get it without a CD ROM DRIVe
[19:51] <NDS|Brandon> Yes WIndows Works perfectly
[19:51] <kindofabuzz> yes i know it's just in alpha, but is it possible to "upgrade" intrepid to jaunty?
[19:51] <NDS|Brandon> Im on the PC right now
[19:51] <Acedip> how can i send private message to an ip on lan ??
[19:51] <jimdb_> Ndsibrandon fry with noacpi
[19:51] <daftykins> yes kindofabuzz
[19:51] <NDS|Brandon> O.o What?
[19:51] <daftykins> run "gksudo update-manager -d" i think it is
[19:51] <jimdb_> Try*
[19:51] <Ienorand> sileni: Still there? What you could try doing is during install press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to drop to terminal, then run command "cat /proc/partitions" to list the partitions currently on the drive, this might give some hints. To get back to installer afterwards you use Ctrl+Alt+F7
[19:51] <nivalis> NDS|Brand, have you tried putting options libata=1 in /etc/modprobe.conf?
[19:51] <mrglinux> I installed virtualbox but now I could not remove it . it not in synaptic and with apt-get remove it could not find any package but virtualbox exists in menu and run
[19:51] <kindofabuzz> daftykins, ok thanks buddie
[19:51] <Acedip> and if the other machine is running windows
[19:51] <NDS|Brandon> I have tried no options :|
[19:51] <vimpulse> mrglinux:  just leave it there :)
[19:51] <nivalis> libata dma=1*
[19:52] <NDS|Brandon> I am a LinuxNoob
[19:52] <amikrop> vimpulse: here, in Greece, they don't call it anything, just "Cosmote Internet On The Go" (the according provider's program)
[19:52] <Golgata> _VIM_: ok, again... after one of the last updates my main user had disappeared from mostly all groups, and i put him back in many groups but maybe not in all important ones... i cant even access "users and groups" now, and my "add/remove software" option has disappeared
[19:52] <mrglinux> vimpulse what do you mean?
[19:52] <hmw> please, someone pastebin the Intrepid file /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command
[19:52] <vimpulse> amikrop:  what is the name of the cellular modem USB stick they sell you?
[19:52] <Golgata> _VIM_: quite annoying :D
[19:52] <vimpulse> mrglinux:  why must you uninstall it?
[19:52] <mrglinux> I want to install new version
[19:52] <Supersaiyan_IV> NDS|Brandon, when you tried, was it standard install, or alternative install
[19:52] <mrglinux> but when I want install it said conflict with that version
[19:53] <NDS|Brandon> :s I put in the disk and hit install, it goes past the loading screen, gives me like 600 repetitions of this error, and stops doing anything
[19:53] <NDS|Brandon> Standard
[19:53] <jimdb_> Ndsibrandon when do you get the message?
[19:53] <AfterDeath> any ideas? Openoffice isn't displaying any text in the menus.
[19:53] <amikrop> vimpulse: actually, it's not mine
[19:53] <vimpulse> mrglinux:  does this work?  sudo apt-get remove virtualbox.*
[19:53] <NDS|Brandon> After the Loading screen, before the desktp
[19:53] <amikrop> vimpulse: I think the guy found a solution ;)
[19:53] <Supersaiyan_IV> NDS|Brandon, try the alternative install
[19:53] <NDS|Brandon> I tried that too
[19:53] <Supersaiyan_IV> i see
[19:53] <NDS|Brandon> Same thing :|
[19:54] <jimdb_> Bad block on the hard drive?
[19:54] <Acedip> how can i send private message to an ip on lan ?? and if the other machine is running windows ??
[19:54] <NDS|Brandon> It says my PC should be compatible
[19:54] <vimpulse> AfterDeath:  dunno.  OO.o uses a funny custom GUI library that no other apps use.  Try switching over to AbiWord or asking in #openoffice.org
[19:54] <NDS|Brandon> I ddoubt its a bad block
[19:54] <Supersaiyan_IV> NDS|Brandon, is the error always identical?
[19:54] <mrglinux> vimpulse yes it worked
[19:54] <AfterDeath> okay
[19:54] <NDS|Brandon> well yes
[19:54] <vimpulse> mrglinux:  good :)
[19:54] <Pici> Acedip: How would you expect the message to come up on the windows computer?
[19:54] <jimdb_> You can't doubt you have to verify
[19:54] <NDS|Brandon> it actually gives four lines in repetition
[19:54] <hmw> please, someone with a standard setup pastebin the file /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command of an 8.10
[19:54] <mrglinux> vimpulse thanks
[19:54] <vimpulse> mrglinux:  you're welcome.

[19:58] <miik> why i cant download limewire from repo??
[19:58] <Comrade-Sergei> Why doesnt phpmyadmin make a folder in my /var/www? in ubuntu server?
[19:58] <miik> linux sucks, its obvious that windows is the best choice
[19:58] <Supersaiyan_IV> ravalox, try twinview, then when both displays are running, disable one of them, so the projector is the "main" display
[19:58] <Pici> Acedip: How do you want the message to appear in Windows?
[19:58] <NDS|Brandon> Ive noticed my disk drive sometimes acts up with burnt cds
[19:59] <miik> you cant even use cross-platform open source software on linux, cuz it doesnt exist in repo
[19:59] <miik> i can use LimeWire (which is free open source software) on Windows but not on Linux
[19:59] <jrib> miik: use frostwire
[19:59] <NDS|Brandon> :s
[19:59] <nivalis> NDS|Brand, you can also install from a usb flash memory
[19:59] <NDS|Brandon> Really?
[19:59] <miik> jrgp, frostwire is not in repo either
[20:00] <Acedip> Pici, i want to send some text lines and just want the user to see it, in any possible ways, i dont know the options avialablle
[20:00] <Comrade-Sergei> miik its not opensource...
[20:00] <NDS|Brandon> I dont know if my BIOS supports that
[20:00] <miik> Comrade-Sergei, wikipedia says it is
[20:00] <NDS|Brandon> Booting from a USB
[20:00] <Comrade-Sergei> miik find me the source
[20:00] <miik> Comrade-Sergei, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LimeWire -- License 	GNU General Public License
[20:00] <Jarlen> miik: no, installing det linux version would deffinatly be to easy
[20:01] <Pici> Acedip: Theres no easy way to do that to a windows computer that I know of, perhaps the folks in ##windows can give you some ideas.
[20:01] <Comrade-Sergei> miik just because its under GPL doent necessarily mean theyve released the source
[20:01] <jrib> miik: go to frostwire's site.  There will be an ubuntu deb.
[20:01] <tvaughn> why does ubuntu 8.10 make my pc's internal sound beep and how can i disable it?
[20:01] <NDS|Brandon> Maybe its cause my CD was burned on XP
[20:01] <Jarlen> miik: especially since it's a .deb so you actually have to click it and click install for it to work
[20:01] <miik> Comrade-Sergei, cvs -d:pserver:guest@cvs.limewire.org:/cvs checkout limewire
[20:01] <Comrade-Sergei> miik, you should be able to compile from source then
[20:01] <Supersaiyan_IV> tvaughn, compiz has a system beep option
[20:01] <Supersaiyan_IV> tvaughn, but you'll need ccsm to access that
[20:01] <Acedip> Pici, they'd say they dont know how to that from a linux machine..
[20:01] <Golgata> are the groups a user is member of mentioned anywhere else than in /etc/groups?
[20:02] <tvaughn> Supersaiyan_IV, ccsm?
[20:02] <miik> Comrade-Sergei, but i dont want compile from source, i just want it to "just work"
[20:02] <daftykins> tvaughn, right click the speaker icon for sound in the system tray and select open volume control, click preferences and find "Beep" and put a tick by it. then mute it.
[20:02] <Supersaiyan_IV> tvaughn, compiz config settings manager
[20:02] <Jarlen> why isn't the .deb version of limewire not good enough for linux?
[20:03] <daftykins> .deb's can be installed fine
[20:03] <nivalis> NDS|Brand, can you get the LiveCD working at all? from there you can make a bootable usb flash memory. or, you can download archlinux usb-image, arch is a little more work to set up though.
[20:03] <Comrade-Sergei> miik, "just work" is like the cake
[20:03] <rayne_> Jarlen, Why use limewire?
[20:03] <Pici> Acedip: How would they do it from another windows computer?
[20:03] <tvaughn> daftykins, i dont see a beep

[20:04] <SimonKitching> Jaunty update has broken wireless: I'm running jaunty and yesterday did an update. I am now unable to connect to any wireless network that needs authentication. After rebooting into ubuntu 8.10 it works fine. Can someone suggest where best to report this? Is launchpad the right place or is there somewhere better for jaunty issues?
[20:04] <tvaughn> PCM?
[20:04] <Ryder51> ok so i wanted to replace konquer with nautilus but i wanna switch back how do i do it? i used this code
[20:04] <Ryder51> sudo dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/nautilus.old --rename /usr/bin/nautilus sudo ln -s /usr/bin/konqueror /usr/bin/nautilus
[20:04] <dieselsmoke> Comrade-Sergei: probably so it's not world-readable
[20:05] <Acedip> Pici, no, i'm on ubuntu , so they wouldn't know how to that from linux
[20:05] <rayne_> miik, Just seems Limewire is crap. Went downhill after lite version dissapeared. Why not just use a torrent client?
[20:05] <miik> rayne_, i do too...
[20:05] <daftykins> SimonKitching, #ubuntu+1 for jaunty
[20:06] <tvaughn> now its complaining that the mic is muted
[20:06] <tvaughn> and i still cant find beep

[20:06] <Ryder51> i used this code to set konquer to open folders rather then natuilus, but i wanna swtich back, but how do i do it?
[20:07] <Ryder51> heres the code i used,   sudo dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/nautilus.old --rename /usr/bin/nautilus sudo ln -s /usr/bin/konqueror /usr/bin/nautilus
[20:07] <tvaughn> daftykins, is it going to be listed as playback?
[20:07] <daftykins> ye tvaughn
[20:08] <daftykins> "sudo rm /usr/bin/nautilus && sudo mv /usr/bin/nautilus.old /usr/bin/nautilus" Ryder51
[20:08] <glitsj16> AfterDeath: did you try the proposed fix on https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+question/60677 (from user marcoba) ?
[20:08] <Ryder51> daftykins i get "sudo rm /usr/bin/nautilus && sudo mv /usr/bin/nautilus.old /usr/bin/nautilus"

[20:09] <tvaughn> i muted everything and it still beeps
[20:09] <Acedip> Pici, u mean we cant do it from linux.. ?
[20:10] <Pici> Acedip: I mean I don't know if we can do it until you know what exactly you want to do
[20:11] <daftykins> Ryder51, there were multiple lines in the code you ran weren't there?
[20:11] <daftykins> i need to see each one on separate lines
[20:12] <nivalis> tvaughn, to disable system beep you could blacklist pcspkr module?
[20:12] <skel> does anyone know if gnome 2.26 will be included in Jaunty by beta release?
[20:12] <Ryder51> daftykins no just "sudo dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/nautilus.old --rename /usr/bin/nautilus sudo ln -s /usr/bin/konqueror /usr/bin/nautilus"
[20:12] <Ryder51> Thats it
[20:13] <Scunizi> I have some shares on my Ubuntu desktop that I access from a windows VM on the same machine.

[20:14] <cantinstallhelp> I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my laptop
[20:14] <Scunizi> BlueAidan: it's usually a good idea that you clean out packages that have been installed so the installer doesn't take up any excess room.
[20:15] <cantinstallhelp> But the Live CD thing doesn't work

[20:18] <Scunizi> asgsdhf: there are several games available on linux that use the engine.. as for the quake game files you get them from the cd that you bought at the store.
[20:18] <nivalis> pos69sum, yes

[20:24] <tyler_d> jrib: initially how do I do even a simple ls -ltr on the remote host
[20:24] <Pici> tyler_d: Use ssh
[20:25] <lastelement0> hey all, i;m having issues with gnome-do not wanting to work. whats weird is the fact that it works fine on my guest session. i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it still doesn't work. any ideas?
[20:25] <tyler_d> Pici: this is for multiple servers, same creds, just want to do it from a central location
[20:25] <AfterDeath> Yeah, it was the nvidia restriced drivers. poo poo.
[20:25] <tyler_d> Pici: I can always redirect output and scp the file over after the command is run
[20:25] <Pici> tyler_d: You can specify a command to run when using ssh, i.e: ssh pici@hostname.com command
[20:26] <Pici> tyler_d: Then run scp on whatever you piped the output too, (you'll probably have to put the command in quotes to avoid it redirecting in the 'parent' shell)
[20:26] <dwxreaper> when I log into kde with freenx the user has a bunch of stuff running graphically
[20:26] <dwxreaper> and it's broken
[20:26] <tyler_d> Pici: I will tias, brb
[20:26] <dwxreaper> how do I clear the session, I cannot do ctrl+alrt+backspace
[20:27] <dwxreaper> and restarting kde and x windows does not work
[20:27] <dwxreaper> I just want to delete my session information
[20:29] <Acedip> Pici, linpopup is not working with just specifying visitor's ip, it needs a hostname to send to
[20:29] <ewook> Acedip: do a revers-check first?
[20:30] <Acedip> ewook, of wat ?
[20:30] <Pici> Acedip: You may need to install the smbclient package as well.
[20:30] <jmulloy> Does anyone have experience with locking down the gnome desktop? We have configured a multi-user environment with LDAP authentication and home directories mounted from an NFS server ... I have looked at pessulus and sabayon briefly but wanted a better understanding of how desktop settings are determined (gconf).  I am trying to figure out the easiest management of the system.
[20:31] <lastelement0> hey all, i;m having issues with gnome-do not wanting to work. whats weird is the fact that it works fine on my guest session. i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it still doesn't work. any ideas?
[20:32] <_VIM_> lastelement0: I donno about that but have you tried cairo-dock yet ?
[20:32] <glitsj16> dwxreaper: you could try clearing out session info in /home/<your-user-name>/.cache/sessions
[20:32] <lastelement0> _VIM_ i'm not looking for a dock
[20:32] <daftykins> tried deleting the gnome config folder in your home dir lastelement0 ?
[20:32] <_VIM_> ah you just want a launcher, hmmm maybe launchy but that's kinda old
[20:32] <lastelement0> daftykins: gconf?
[20:33] <daftykins> no .gnome2 primarily
[20:33] <lastelement0> _VIM_ well the thing is i had it working before thats what im confused about
[20:33] <daftykins> try renaming all .g* folders to backups
[20:33] <daftykins> then restart X
[20:33] <_VIM_> lastelement0: I wasnt happy with gnome-do personally :(
[20:34] <hoopoe> can view flash, but not comedy central, konquerorfirefox/amd64
[20:34] <Acedip> Pici, smbclient is installed, in linpopup i enter the ip in the sendto tab and on sending it, it says the host is unreachable
[20:34] <ZmAY> is it possible to transfer whole directory over ssh?
[20:35] <DB42> hi, if i install something via dpkg or apt-get and the .deb package override a pre-existing file in the system, when i uninstall the package, what will happen ? will the file be deleted on uninstall ? revert to the previous version ? will be left untouched ?
[20:35] <nivalis> ZmAY, check out scp
[20:35] <daftykins> why not do it and find out :)
[20:36] <sint> hey, i've reinstalled my system a few weeks back and since then it hangs from time to time. but its not frozen at all, it runs fine, i just can't use keyboard and mouse! but i can login with ssh and do everything.
[20:36] <sint> anyone knows how to fix this?
[20:36] <mikebeecham> does anyone know if there is a fix to the loss of wired connection upon reboot?
[20:36] <daftykins> sint you tried restarting X from your SSH session when it goes like that?
[20:36] <sint> daftykins: ya, works fine
[20:37] <daftykins> comes back up and works again 'til the next freeze?
[20:37] <sint> daftykins: but X is not really frozen as well, cause i can see incomming messages in chats and stuff
[20:37] <daftykins> oh right that's odd
[20:37] <ZmAY> nivalis: figured it out scp -r ...
[20:37] <gater> hello
[20:37] <sint> daftykins, ya
[20:37] <sam555> has anyone been able to reset mysql password in ubuntu?
[20:37] <daftykins> are your peripherals USB?
[20:37] <sint> daftykins: just the mouse. i am on a laptop
[20:38] <sint> daftykins: i can move the courser but i can't click
[20:38] <daftykins> ah, external mouse? does the touchpad/whatever work?
[20:38] <hoelk> anyone can help me? how to reset the look of qt applications to the default again after altering them with qtconfig?
[20:38] <sint> daftykins: no! both the same
[20:38] <daftykins> ah ok no idea then i'm afraid ;x
[20:38] <sint> daftykins: :(
[20:39] <sint> daftykins: is there maybe a logfile i could check?
[20:39] <Comrade-Sergei> Has anyone gotten PHPMyadmin to work with ubuntu?
[20:39] <daftykins> someone recently suggested looking at the X log file for an issue of X crashing, but i'm not sure if that'd help you
[20:40] <dreamy> do i have any conf file related to my firewall ? anyone knows?
[20:40] <daftykins> /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[20:41] <sint> daftykins: ok, i'll check this. but i think its an X issue, cause the system itself is fine and after restarting X its fine again. until crash
[20:41] <jmulloy> Is there a way to control all users ability to modify desktop settings?  I want to prevent users from doing things like things deleting the taskbar accidentally.
[20:41] <daftykins> yeah sounds like a device input bug
[20:41] <daftykins> jmulloy, just let your users do what they want, then delete the gnome configs in their home folder if they break it ;)
[20:42] <daftykins> that's how it worked at my Uni
[20:42] <Geek`N`Proud> jmulloy, there is
[20:42] <Geek`N`Proud> jmulloy, look at a piece of software called Sabayon for making locked down profiles
[20:42] <Geek`N`Proud> it is included mostly with Red Hat and Novell distros but there may be a package for Ubuntu too
[20:43] <jmulloy> Is sabayon stable for Ubuntu?
[20:43] <sam555> what's the command to stop the mysql server in ubuntu?
[20:43] <mucter> does anyone know an ETA for a fix on the issues with installing 8.10 server onto ICH9r raid 5?
[20:44] <glitsj16> sam555: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
[20:44] <jmulloy> Perhaps I could make a script on logout/login that deleted any settings they changed.
[20:44] <sam555> glitsj16: awesome!
[20:44] <Geek`N`Proud> jmulloy, it is in main by the looks of
[20:44] <sint> daftykins: i will search the internet, maybe someone has the same problem! thanks anyway :)
[20:44] <Geek`N`Proud> jmulloy, so the answer to that is yes - as stable as any other main component
[20:44] <glitsj16> sam555: use a similar syntax to start it again when needed
[20:45] <style> siemanko
[20:45] <style> mam pytanie
[20:45] <jmulloy> Thank you dafty and geek I will check out both options.

[20:45] <stevr1it> hello I have a problem, I ma suing intrepid with nvidia 4000 and its dirver but when I am on some forum on the web i see not words but just they are covered by black and when I  mark them the words appear magically, can you help me?
[20:45] <Scunizi> Is there an easy tool to administer samba?
[20:45] <_VIM_> !info swat
[20:45] <mucter> webmin
[20:46] <Myrtti> !webmin | mucter
[20:46] <Scunizi> Thanks _VIM_ & mucter
[20:46] <_VIM_> wow ubottu is lagging bad, i only have a 83 ms delay from clarke.freenode.net so it's not me
[20:46] <_VIM_> you're welcome Scunizi
[20:46] <mucter> oh really? interesting
[20:47] <daftykins> mucter i don't think it would be worth their time fixing installs to intel fakeraid
[20:48] <mucter> well its important for my Clients server
[20:48] <salifa> hey guys my grubs getting an error 17 and im unable to load any os - what can i do
[20:48] <mucter> so i guess I'll have to try a different distro, everyone told me ubuntu was "the way"
[20:48] <deathtech> Hello all! Im currently running a VNC Server, on a Seperate Machine, and rather than create multiple desktops , i would like to Mirror the Current running desktop, is this poissible ?
[20:48] <daftykins> is it server you're trying to install?
[20:48] <_VIM_> mucter: you'll later find out they were correct
[20:48] <mucter> yes
[20:49] <daftykins> you wouldn't put the OS onto a RAID 5 volume imo
[20:49] <mucter> haha, I've been using redhat for 10 years
[20:49] <Geek`N`Proud> mucter, Ubuntu is geared around desktops
[20:49] <daftykins> you'd put the OS on a normal disk, then use the RAID 5 volume as the storage only sorta thing
[20:49] <Geek`N`Proud> i'd recommend CentOS or Debian for servers
[20:49] <mucter> and all of my friends keep trying to switch me to ubuntu, so I thought I'd give it a shot
[20:49] <_VIM_> Ive tried a million distros, no one beats ubuntu's community/support that's what keeps me sticking with ubuntu :)
[20:49] <salifa> no im just installed the standard ubuntu 8.109
[20:49] <salifa> 8.10**
[20:50] <mucter> _VIM_: thats what I've been told, the support is key
[20:50] <mucter> as with other open source projects I work with, Drupal, CakePHP, etc.
[20:50] <Chris___> how can I compile grub2 for ubuntu intrepid?
[20:50] <daftykins> deprecated /etc/X11/xorg.conf left me being able to do virtually nothing with X config issues :P
[20:51] <daftykins> though that's more newer gnome than it is newer ubuntu
[20:51] <mucter> so if I was going to try to stick with ubuntu, you'd suggest running the OS on a single non-raid drive, then put the partition for my storage on the raid after the install is finished
[20:51] <daftykins> yep, if it supports it after being installed
[20:52] <_VIM_> daftykins: I thought it was the new x server
[20:52] <daftykins> yeah newer X.org
[20:52] <daftykins> my bad, multi-tasking badly here
[20:52] <mucter> cause I got part way through the install then on reboot it said that the root mapped device didn't exist.
[20:52] <mucter> and since I'm an ubuntu n00b, here I am
[20:52] <mucter> lol
[20:52] <daftykins> sounds more like an install bug
[20:52] <Leonidas889> hi
[20:52] <deathtech> Hello all! Im currently running a VNC Server, on a Seperate Machine, and rather than create multiple desktops , i would like to Mirror the Current running desktop, is this poissible ?
[20:53] <treboko> hi, quick question. Got ext mic working, but dont want to hear it. Solution?
[20:53] <daftykins> mute it? ;)
[20:53] <treboko> no, you silly
[20:53] <red-lichtie_> treboko: Mic output volume to 0
[20:54] <ALonzo> hellowwwwwwwww
[20:54] <ALonzo> hellowsssssss
[20:54] <Dreamglider-> i have a disk with no partition table, gpart found 4 partitions and the one i need is apparently safe, now i want to copy the partition to my internal harddisk and be able to boot ubuntu, can it be done ?
[20:55] <_VIM_> !welcome | ALonzo
[20:55] <ALonzo> hola
[20:55] <ALonzo> Holaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[20:56] <Pici> ALonzo: stop.
[20:56] <Ace2017_-> ALonzo: Hi
[20:56] <erUSUL> Dreamglider-: did you used gpart to writte the partition table?
[20:56] <istvan_> can I make folders with filters? the equivelent of a smart folder?
[20:57] <phantom1> hi all is anyone familiar with the problem that gnome has (editing tags from musik, ex: banshee isent able to aply them to the file)is there a warkaround or dose it function in kde?
[20:57] <ALonzo> Holaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[20:57] <ALonzo> K paso
[20:57] <_VIM_> ALonzo: take the cat off the keyboard
[20:57] <ALonzo> como estas
[20:57] <istvan_> i want to say 'make a wip folder, any file that has been modified in the last XX days that is in these folders'
[20:57] <_VIM_> !es
[20:57] <ALonzo> Speak
[20:57] <Ace2017_-> phantom1: to edit tags you can use easytag to edit tags
[20:57] <ALonzo> spanish
[20:58] <_VIM_> ALonzo:  type /join #ubuntu-es
[20:58] <ALonzo> ok
[20:58] <ALonzo> Hellows Baby
[20:58] <_VIM_> O.o
[20:58] <ALonzo> What is name
[20:59] <Dreamglider-> erUSUL: i have not written any table yet i just scanned the disk for partitions and found the Ubuntu partion
[20:59] <istvan_> so.. smart folders anyone?
[20:59] <phantom1> Ace2017_-:im interested mostly in the rating (stars) so i nead a player that functions
[21:00] <erUSUL> Dreamglider-: well if you do not restore a partition table you wont be able to access the partition
[21:00] <Ace2017_-> phantom1: amarok has always been good at that, it also rates them on your listening habits
[21:00] <Dreamglider-> erUSUL: here is the output from gpart /dev/sdc -> http://pastebin.com/d5aea5905
[21:00] <Dreamglider-> erUSUL: i dont know how to restore a table
[21:00] <erUSUL> Dreamglider-: read gpart documentation
[21:01] <hunt577> Are Kubuntu and Ubuntu the same things?
[21:01] <phantom1> Ace2017_-:at the moment i had the same idear thanx
[21:01] <hunt577> Wondering if I should try Kubuntu since Ubuntu doesn't run good at all on this computer
[21:01] <Geek`N`Proud> hunt577, two different default package sets
[21:01] <Geek`N`Proud> Ubuntu uses GNOME
[21:01] <daejones> Can I use my ipod touch on ubuntu 8.10?
[21:01] <Geek`N`Proud> Kubuntu uses KDE
[21:02] <hunt577> oh ok Geek'N'Proud.
[21:02] <erUSUL> Dreamglider-: http://www.brzitwa.de/mb/gpart/index.html
[21:02] <hunt577> I have a HP G60 and it lags so bad on Ubuntu 8.10....
[21:02] <_VIM_> kubuntu will likely lag even more
[21:02] <Geek`N`Proud> hunt577, the low-level details are the same, the GUI and such is different
[21:02] <NDS|Brandon> Im getting an error described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=999549&page=3 I dont have a DVD ROM DRIVE, any siggestions?
[21:02] <_VIM_> try xubuntu
[21:02] <hunt577> _VIM_ I will try xubuntu
[21:02] <hunt577> thanks
[21:02] <_VIM_> np
[21:03] <tiredbones> for some reason I'm unable to use sudo command. How does one change the password for root or  how do i get back the ability to use sudo?
[21:03] <Geek`N`Proud> hunt577, if you need something ultra-light then install LXDE and run that
[21:03] <jrib> tiredbones: pastebin
[21:03] <erUSUL> Dreamglider-: basically if everything looks ok from the scan is « sudo gpart -W /dev/sdc /dev/sdc »
[21:03] <Pici> tiredbones: sudo uses your password, not root's.
[21:03] <Geek`N`Proud> and don't download a new CD if you want Xubuntu either
[21:03] <Geek`N`Proud> just sudo apt-get xubuntu-desktop
[21:03] <_VIM_> that's even better, LXDE is good too
[21:03] <erUSUL> Dreamglider-: you can try testdisk too
[21:03] <killer_> untuforums
[21:03] <nivalis> hunt577, or even a minimal server install then add openbox or some other lightweight window manager
[21:03] <killer_> err
[21:03] <killer_> sorry
[21:03] <erUSUL> !info testdisk | Dreamglider-
[21:03] <NDS|Brandon> I have an external DVD drive, is it possible to boot from that?
[21:03] <hunt577> _VIM_ I have xubuntu installed already on the ubuntu 8.10 I installed....but I updated to xubuntu through ubuntu once it was already installed...you think a direct download of xubuntu would work better?
[21:04] <ALonzo> spanish
[21:04] <hunt577> without ubuntu already being in the mix
[21:04] <dougl> 8.04 = hardy heron right?
[21:04] <erUSUL> NDS|Brandon: USB ?
[21:04] <erUSUL> !es | ALonzo
[21:04] <NDS|Brandon> Yes
[21:04] <dirtbag> if i want to run xp under vmware, how does it work, do i install vmware first then install xp throught hat somehow, or do i just have to install xp on a new partition and then load that partition through vmware?
[21:04] <Geek`N`Proud> dougl, yes
[21:04] <Geek`N`Proud> !hardy > dougl
[21:04] <dougl> thanks
[21:04] <jrib> dirtbag: the first thing you said
[21:04] <tiredbones> Pici, I know that, but my password  doesn't work anymore for sudo.
[21:04] <Geek`N`Proud> dougl, that should confirm it
[21:04] <Geek`N`Proud> :P
[21:04] <dougl> yep
[21:04] <_VIM_> hunt577: sounds like you already have xubuntu then, if not try what Geek`N`Proud said above... sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[21:04] <Pici> tiredbones: Are you still in the admin group? (groups on a terminal should show you)
[21:04] <NDS|Brandon> I am considering giving up on Ubuntu :|
[21:05] <Geek`N`Proud> NDS|Brandon, what issues are you experiencing
[21:05] <NDS|Brandon> IT wont boot for me :\
[21:05] <hunt577> Thanks I will try LDX Geek'N'Proud
[21:05] <hunt577> LXDE* I mean
[21:05] <NDS|Brandon> I get an error of my I/O Device SR0
[21:05] <NDS|Brandon> And Booting from DVD isn't an option
[21:05] <sileni> hey guys i have a 16 gb ssd and it has xp preinstalled. i wanted to install ubuntu so i freed up 7.7 gb what partitions do i have ot make ?
[21:06] <rob_F> Greetings all  :)
[21:06] <NDS|Brandon> Its in the install
[21:06] <NDS|Brandon> Just follow it
[21:06] <Myrtti> NDS|Brandon: which one did you burn, the Desktop installation or the Alternate installation disc?
[21:06] <NDS|Brandon> Desktop
[21:07] <Geek`N`Proud> NDS|Brandon, Desktop is for new'ish boxes
[21:07] <tiredbones> Pici, here is the line from my /etc/group    adm:x:4:wayne,admin.
[21:07] <NDS|Brandon> Ohh :s
[21:07] <Myrtti> NDS|Brandon: now I don't know about would it help, but you could try burning the Alternate one and try if it works with that
[21:07] <nivalis> sileni. /, /swap (if you want to use swap on ssd), and a separate /home is always nice
[21:07] <NDS|Brandon> Ill tyr that too
[21:07] <NDS|Brandon> Someone mentioned: IRQPOLL ALL_GENERIC_IDE=1
[21:08] <NDS|Brandon> And that would help if it was my CD Drive
[21:08] <daejones> Can i use an ipod touch with ubuntu 8.10?
[21:08] <Geek`N`Proud> NDS|Brandon, Alternate uses a command-line installer, it's less friendly compared to a GUI but it's more reliable
[21:08] <jrib> daejones: depends what you mean by "use" really.  What firmware version?
[21:08] <NDS|Brandon> Ummm
[21:08] <Pici> tiredbones: I'm sorry, I need to deal with an issue here, try asking your question again and someone should answer you.
[21:08] <daejones> ah..2.2? lemme make sure
[21:08] <NDS|Brandon> Thats bad :\ I have no experience with Linux
[21:09] <tiredbones> Pici, thanks
[21:09] <Geek`N`Proud> NDS|Brandon, I managed it as a newbie
[21:09] <jrib> tiredbones: pastebin the command you are trying to sudo and the full output
[21:09] <Geek`N`Proud> when I first used Ubuntu there was no desktop CD
[21:09] <Geek`N`Proud> the normal CD was the alternate
[21:09] <NDS|Brandon> How hard is it ?
[21:09] <Geek`N`Proud> have you ever installed Windows?
[21:09] <ajhtiredwolf> Hey does anyone know of a way to broadcast your mp3 collection so that a client program can listen to it, sort of in the style of raidio but over the internet?
[21:09] <treboko> skype on laptop concern; no matter which option i choose, this devils work always uses built in mic instead of ext. Help? (mic is working and enabled)
[21:09] <ewook> Geek`N`Proud: erhm.. not to be rude, but everyone starts of with o knowledge sometime.
[21:09] <tiredbones> jrib, give me a sec.
[21:10] <ewook> NDS|Brandon: not hard at all now a days :)
[21:10] <NDS|Brandon> Yes Ive installed windows hundreds of times
[21:10] <nivalis> Geek `N`Proud, CLI is user-friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are :)
[21:10] <daejones> yeah version 2.2
[21:10] <Geek`N`Proud> NDS|Brandon, then you'll have no problem most likely =]
[21:10] <NDS|Brandon> Ok :)
[21:10] <NDS|Brandon> Ill try that to
[21:10] <NDS|Brandon> I really want Linux :\ But It seems to hate all my distros
[21:11] <brandon_> hello i tryed starting a ./conf file but it keeps telling me start: Need to be root what am i doing wrong
[21:11] <Scunizi> I just installed SWAT and I get nothing at localhost:931 or 127.0.0.1:931.. what am I doing wrong?
[21:11] <jrib> brandon_: what exactly are you doing?
[21:11] <gogeta> bo
[21:11] <red-lichtie_> NDS|Brandon: What exactly are you trying to do `
[21:11] <NDS|Brandon> Trying to install it
[21:11] <brandon_> this brandon@ubuntu:~$ start //home/brandon/Desktop/Unreal3.2/unreal.conf

[21:12] <tiredbones> jrib, what is the site  name to pastebin?
[21:12] <NDS|Brandon> You want to host a IRC server?
[21:12] <brandon_> yes
[21:12] <jrib> !paste | tiredbones

[21:12] <jrib> !pm | daejones
[21:12] <Geek`N`Proud> brandon_, try running the binary, not the config
[21:13] <brandon_> the binary?
[21:13] <deany> sileni,  its still not best to use a swap
[21:13] <brandon_> you mean ./Config
[21:13] <Geek`N`Proud> yeah
[21:13] <NDS|Brandon> :
[21:13] <NDS|Brandon> |
[21:13] <Geek`N`Proud> brandon_, have you not built it yet?
[21:13] <jrib> daejones: if you jailbreak, you can ssh and transfer files that way.  You won't be able to sync your library though as the hash for the itunesdb hasn't been broken
[21:13] <jrib> !ipod | daejones
[21:14] <daejones> alright thanks for that
[21:14] <NDS|Brandon> Have you changed all the settings properly?
[21:14] <brandon_> i built it but i don't know how to run it
[21:14] <NDS|Brandon> :
[21:14] <NDS|Brandon> |
[21:14] <NDS|Brandon> Run the binary
[21:14] <brandon_> how

[21:27] <tadayoshi_> #ubuntu-de
[21:27] <brandon_> should i type path/to/.config
[21:27] <Geek`N`Proud> no you should cd into the Unreal3.2 directory then do ./Config

[21:37] <Droopsta915> I want to slipstream a disk. is there something for ubuntu similar to nLite?
[21:37] <tiredbones> Daniel_G, it looks like serial.
[21:39] <Dr_willis_AAO> You mean you cant fullscreen 'flash' videos :)  - No idea on a fix. I find flash and some sites are often flakey and only let you full screen  when they decided you can. :(
[21:39] <Droopsta915> I want to slipstream a disk, what program can i use in ubuntu?
[21:40] <tiredbones> Daniel_G,  jrib from what i read on google i should be seeing the grub menu whenever i boot. is this correct
[21:40] <Dr_willis_AAO> Droopsta915,  you dont reall y 'slipstream' ubuntu. You can 'remaster' things.
[21:41] <Droopsta915> Dr_willis_AAO:I don't wantto slipstream ubuntu, I want to slipstream xp for my friends laptop. I don't want to go to windows to do this, Im trying to prove him wrong about Linux.

[21:44] <liminal> just linux
[21:45] <liminal> ubuntu 8.10 was working fine two days ago
[21:45] <tiredbones> Droopsta915, no, just distro 8.10
[21:45] <private> asshole
[21:46] <tiredbones> Droopsta915, i'm reading google now to see what i can do, but i think i need sudo to do anything.
[21:46] <ajhtiredwolf> liminal Im not on my linux box right now but i believe if you go to system preferences sound there should be a list of audaio devices
[21:46] <liminal> under audio devices?
[21:46] <evil_tech> can some one point me to a good how-to on setting up and using SQUID
[21:47] <ajhtiredwolf> liminal yeah, do you have moer than one?
[21:47] <liminal> i dont have an audio devices option under system>preferences
[21:47] <Droopsta915> tiredbones:whats wrong, Linux wont boot?
[21:47] <ajhtiredwolf> no
[21:47] <ajhtiredwolf> system/ preferences/sound
[21:48] <liminal> yeah i have sound

[21:48] <sam555> does ubuntu already have phpmyadmin installed for 8.04?
[21:48] <liminal> when i run the tests i get nothing back
[21:48] <tiredbones> Droopsta915, no, I just can use sudo command anymore.
[21:48] <ajhtiredwolf> liminal at the bottum you see where it says devices?
[21:48] <brandon_> Geek`N`Proud i don't know how to change the cd
[21:49] <brandon_> and when i type ./Config it still wont work

[21:54] <kane77> hi, on my laptop I tried to enable magnifier in compizconfig and it said it needs to enable mouse polling so I enabled that and that restarted X.. now I cannot login.. it logs me in but restarts x, how do I disable compiz (or compiz) from command line?
[21:54] <ajhtiredwolf> liminal ive had this problem before im trying to remember what i did to fix it
[21:55] <Gnea> private: do you have a problem?
[21:55] <ajhtiredwolf> liminal i thin that i just googled that error message with my auudio device and i found the answer
[21:55] <tiredbones> Droopsta915, I can't do that because my passwrd is denied.
[21:55] <Gnea> tiredbones: are you a part of /etc/sudoers?
[21:56] <ZachFlem> hi folks, i need to connect to a VPN at my office, what should i install to do so?
[21:56] <tiredbones> Droopsta915, I can't execute any command where i need my password.
[21:56] <Gnea> ZachFlem: using what protocol?
[21:56] <ilovebrownies> Can someone help me with adding Arch to my Ubuntu GRUB?
[21:56] <liminal> ill love you if you have
[21:56] <ajhtiredwolf> anyone know of an alternative to icecast that supports mp3's? ice cast is a broadcasting server for music like an online radio
[21:56] <tiredbones> Gnea, i use to be. this is my home pc.
[21:56] <liminal> what is it?
[21:56] <ZachFlem> Gnea, no idea, it just works on the M$ laptop =)
[21:57] <davygrvy> are there boot options to set a hint port address of the cd-rom drive?  xubuntu installer can't find the cd-rom at step #3 even though it just loaded from it
[21:57] <Gnea> ZachFlem: lol, can you check to see what vpn software is being used/installed on it?
[21:57] <hb|work> anyone experience or know a fix for Xorg locking up with a black screen and some colorful static-looking bars at fairly frequent and random intervals?  I'm running intel graphics, and only ubuntu exhibits this behaviour
[21:57] <ZachFlem> Gnea, not at the moment, it's broken, that's why im using my personal laptop =(
[21:58] <Gnea> tiredbones: you need to be able to check to see if you're part of it or not - if you can't use another account on the system to check, then the livecd should be able to show it
[21:58] <Droopsta915> tiredbones:Do you need to recover your password?
[21:59] <ZachFlem> gnea, is there an option to install all the common protocols?
[21:59] <Gnea> ZachFlem: well, ubuntu supports several vpn solutions. you're probably using PPTP
[21:59] <Droopsta915> tiredbones: http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/09/recover-forgotten-ubuntu-password.html
[21:59] <Thirtysixway> is there an remote desktop connection client for Ubuntu that can connect to windows machines
[22:00] <Gnea> Thirtysixway: rdesktop, tsclient
[22:00] <ajhtiredwolf> Thirtysixway yes tightvnc
[22:00] <Thirtysixway> isn't vnc different?
[22:00] <ajhtiredwolf> Thirtysixway tightvnc can connect to remote windows machines
[22:01] <ajhtiredwolf> Thirtysixway but you have to install their software on it
[22:01] <tiredbones> Gnea and Droopsta915, i think i know what i did wrong. I add a user called admin. When I realized that my user password did authority was i then sign on as admin. things worked under admin. so i commented out the admin user in the passwrd file. when i sign back on to the system with my user ps, thing still didn't work. now I'm out of luck.
[22:01] <davygrvy> I looked at the boot options page <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions> but it doesn't mention much more than APIC options
[22:02] <tiredbones>  Droopsta915, no i still can use my ps.
[22:02] <Gnea> ZachFlem: something like this maybe.. http://adventuresinswitching.blogspot.com/2007/12/ubuntu-and-microsoft-vpn-setup-or-how-i.html

[22:04] <Gnea> ZachFlem: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient  then you'll want the first option
[22:04] <davygrvy> are there boot options to set a hint port address of the cd-rom drive?  xubuntu installer can't find the cd-rom at step #3 even though it just loaded from it
[22:04] <ajhtiredwolf> linux is not idiot proof*
[22:04] <Dreamglider-> Can anyone help me to mount a partition on a disk where the partition table is lost ? the output from gpart /dev/sdc is here -> http://pastebin.com/d5aea5905 it's partition 2 that contains Ubuntu.

[22:04] <ZachFlem> Gnea, thanks! :)
[22:05] <tiredbones> Gnea and Droopsta915,  Thanks for your time. After supper I 'll try my to recover from installed cd.
[22:05] <Vinceman> _VIM_ someone messaged me with 'is this your picture?' and later on apologized it for being a virus, unfortunately I did click on the link, the browser said the address didn't exist though. Do you think I have a virus?
[22:05] <Dreamglider-> Sorry it's partition number 1 that i want to mount
[22:05] <Gnea> ZachFlem, tiredbones: cheers :)
[22:06] <ilovebrownies> Anyone? Adding Arch to Ubuntu GRUB?
[22:06] <_VIM_> Vinceman: doubt it, even *IF* you got a virus, it wont go anywhere as it will need root access to do any real harm...

[22:06] <SilverBridge> i need a hand over here
[22:06] <jco> hi, what is the best way to get kde 3.5 on Ubuntu 8.10?
[22:06] <magnetron> ilovebrownies→ we don't know much about how to install Arch.
[22:06] <SilverBridge> someone might help
[22:06] <Vinceman> but since I'm the only user of this PC I am root and i did click the link
[22:06] <_VIM_> Vinceman: that's why viruses/spyware don't make it far in linux
[22:07] <SilverBridge> now i am trying to log on to the IRC
[22:07] <Gnea> ilovebrownies: it's just another OS that's linux-based on the system, right? it's just like adding any linux installation to grub
[22:07] <magnetron> SilverBridge→ just ask your question right out
[22:07] <SilverBridge> the old on in thathe ICQ c
[22:07] <SilverBridge> any one knows which server'
[22:07] <ajhtiredwolf> Vinceman you are not root, you are in the root group
[22:07] <_VIM_> why were you surfing the web as root Vinceman?
[22:07] <Vinceman> ok but I didn't sudo click it or whatever
[22:07] <SilverBridge> magnetron,
[22:07] <ajhtiredwolf> _VIM_ I think he means that he can use root through his user
[22:07] <SilverBridge> Can u help with that
[22:07] <SilverBridge> ?
[22:07] <SilverBridge> i tried IRCnet
[22:07] <rmrfslash> Anyone have a Dell XPS M1530?
[22:07] <magnetron> SilverBridge→ just ASK THE CHANNEL YOUR QUESTION
[22:07] <SilverBridge> well i did
[22:07] <Vinceman> ajhtiredwolf, yes with sudo
[22:08] <SilverBridge> i used to chat at  the server irc.icq.com
[22:08] <Gnea> !enter | SilverBridge
[22:08] <magnetron> SilverBridge→ in one line, please
[22:08] <Vinceman> can anyone use root with sudo? or only the root group users?
[22:08] <ajhtiredwolf> Vinceman that isn't quite the same thing. You should be fine
[22:08] <SilverBridge> and now i cannt log in to it from here
[22:08] <SilverBridge> cause i got no clue what is the server name
[22:08] <rmrfslash> only users in the "wheel" or "admin" group
[22:08] <liminal> ajhitiredwolf?
[22:08] <_VIM_> Vinceman: I think you'll be fine :)
[22:08] <Gnea> SilverBridge: stop. back up. ask it all on one line, please. it's easier to get help that way.
[22:08] <SilverBridge> ok
[22:08] <ajhtiredwolf> liminal yes?
[22:08] <liminal> google hasnt helped me with my sond
[22:08] <liminal> sound
[22:09] <davygrvy> are there boot options to set a hint port address of the cd-rom drive?  xubuntu installer can't find the cd-rom at step #3 even though it just loaded from it
[22:09] <yoyit2> how to i format my 2GB flash drive??
[22:09] <ajhtiredwolf> liminal did you google that error message plus the namee of your uadio device?
[22:09] <funkyHat> rmrfslash: isn't wheel the group that has su root permissions?
[22:09] <rmrfslash> or the root group
[22:09] <rmrfslash> you know what, I'm not sure about the diff between wheel and admin
[22:09] <SilverBridge> i used to chat be4 using the mIRC , from windows , i used to type in the command line /server irc.icq.com , now i tried to log in into the same server using the Xchat , but seems i cannt find the same server with the same channels i used to chat at
[22:10] <ajhtiredwolf> liminal all i remember is that my issue was that I had to set it to use Multichannel playback
[22:10] <SilverBridge> mmmmmmm
[22:11] <dieselsmoke> funkyHat: I believe the 'admin' group is what you want. e.g. sudo adduser user admin  --adds user to admin group
[22:11] <dirtbag> i search for vmware on apt, but i'm not sure which package i need to install. any suggestions?
[22:11] <funkyHat> dieselsmoke: I think you're right, someone else was asking though...
[22:12] <oCean_> !vmware | dirtbag
[22:12] <dieselsmoke> funkyHat: oh, sorry dude
[22:12] <dieselsmoke> rmrfslash: I believe the 'admin' group is what you want. e.g. sudo adduser user admin  --adds user to admin group
[22:12] <dirtbag> !vmware
[22:12] <Gnea> SiliconViper: what's different with xchat?
[22:12] <davygrvy> !bootoptions
[22:12] <Gnea> oops
[22:12] <rmrfslash> or usermod -a -G admin user
[22:12] <Certh> vmware can be installed from rpm after transforming it with alien -c command
[22:12] <funkyHat> dieselsmoke: np :) thanks for being less lazy than me and actually scrolling back to see who it was ;)
[22:12] <davygrvy> !bootoptions more
[22:12] <Gnea> SiliconViper: sorry, mis-msg
[22:13] <ajhtiredwolf> dirtbag i wold recommend virtualbox, but not the OSE
[22:13] <rmrfslash> to append the admin as a group for user
[22:13] <dirtbag> vboxgtk?
[22:13] <dieselsmoke> rmrfslash: I thank you then :)
[22:13] <Vinceman> why is open source code a tough place for a virus to hide?

[22:14] <dieselsmoke> Vinceman: because someone will find the problem and fix the source.
[22:14] <Vinceman> ok, I suppose open source is meant to be edited and checked completely
[22:14] <oDesk> hello,  wine --version #-> wine-0.9.46  and it seems the latest into ubuntu repositores could i install wine-1.1.16 though the system repository ?
[22:14] <threepwood> is it bad practice to run files off an external HD?
[22:14] <ajhtiredwolf> Vinceman not all open source software is more secure
[22:14] <amgarchIn9> hi, when I tar/untar a root partition to a new disk, how do I fix all those UIDs in grub/menu.lst and fstab?
[22:14] <dieselsmoke> Vinceman: open means everyone has access to the code, microsoft is secret, only they can fix things.
[22:15] <dirtbag> thnc ajhtiredwolf
[22:15] <Vinceman> but if some virus maker hacks a repository he can infect all the open source on it
[22:15] <dieselsmoke> Vinceman: checksums would spot that, and gpg key sigs
[22:15] <_VIM_> thats what the gpg keys are for
[22:15] <oCean_> Vinceman: read the link i (ubottu) send. That explains technically
[22:16] <davygrvy> are there boot options to set a hint port address of the cd-rom drive?  xubuntu installer can't find the cd-rom at step #3 even though it just loaded from it
[22:16] <threepwood> why doesnt microsoft just buy java
[22:16] <Vinceman> I'm reading it right now, the question came from it
[22:16] <threepwood> they would pwn linux
[22:16] <threepwood> lol
[22:16] <threepwood> microsoft is one of the biggest corps in the world when it comes time to squash linux they will
[22:16] <dieselsmoke> Vinceman: Sun Systems aren't stupid. my guess
[22:16] <oCean_> !ot
[22:16] <Koenigsegg> I've managed to start 8.10 for the first time without nvidia gfx driver errors(needed linux headers and restricted modules). But Screen resolution says my max resolution is still 1024x768. Nvidia X server settings is a bit nicer, 1360x768. Hardware driver routines(not 100% sure about the english menu name here) says I can only use v173 och 177, while Synaptic says I've got nvidia-glx-180 installed(I did apt-get). I'm missing something here, but I'm to
[22:16] <_VIM_> stay on topic please, this isnt the place for Microsoft Vs. Linux
[22:16] <Koenigsegg> o new on all this to see it. Help?
[22:17] <ajhtiredwolf> they cant squash linux,  its open sour and community maintained, they have no way of squashing it
[22:17] <dieselsmoke> _VIM_: begging to differ, open source leads directly to the value of ubuntu, linux in general. the defense rests :)
[22:17] <threepwood> canonical is for-profit though
[22:18] <neal__> well they could just remove fat support
[22:18] <threepwood> microsoft says heres $500 million the owner sells it and bam offline
[22:18] <_VIM_> well #ubuntu isn't the place for OS wars
[22:18] <ajhtiredwolf> threepwood there isnt just one linux distro
[22:18] <davygrvy> Koenigsegg, try starting the nvidia config app with sudo:  sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-settings
[22:18] <mrwes> how can you squash a squash file system? heh
[22:18] <threepwood> it's true, im just speculating
[22:18] <mrwes> sorry...couldn't resist
[22:18] <neal__> well use other file systems
[22:18] <dieselsmoke> _VIM_: agreed but it wasn't a war, merely stating fact.
[22:19] <oDesk> wine --version #-> wine-0.9.46  and it seems the latest into ubuntu repositores could i install wine-1.1.16 though the system repository ?
[22:19] <_VIM_> dieselsmoke: ok let's let it rest.
[22:19] <dirtbag> hmm, how do i add a user to a new group?
[22:19] <_VIM_> before the ops come in here with those huge !OT Hammers ;)
[22:19] <ajhtiredwolf> add user group
[22:19] <dirtbag> ahh nvm, i didn't notice the unlock button
[22:19] <dieselsmoke> dirtbag: sudo adduser user group
[22:20] <dirtbag> will remember the command line though
[22:20] <dirtbag> thnx again
[22:20] <funkyHat> dieselsmoke: doesn't that make that group the primary group for the user?
[22:21] <dieselsmoke> funkyHat: probably, adduser with typical flags should be done first.
[22:21] <davygrvy> are there boot options to set a hint port address of the cd-rom drive?  xubuntu installer can't find the cd-rom at step #3 even though it just loaded from it
[22:22] <Koenigsegg> davygrvy: Thanks, it seems to be starting and all, but it says my max res is 1360x768, and I used to have 1600 width on windows, I get the feeling that something's still wrong..
[22:22] <Huufarted> Anybody know how to prevent Gnome (and X Windows I assume) from Loading on 8.10?  I set up a server using Ubuntu Desktop, but it's headless so I don't need the GUI.
[22:23] <davygrvy> Koenigsegg:  does the nvidia config app have 1600 even listed?
[22:23] <ajhtiredwolf> Huufartedi guess you could just remove gnome
[22:23] <Huufarted> ajhtiredwolf: I'd rather just prevent Gnome from running.  Any ideas?
[22:23] <Joushou> Hmm, i have a quick question before i go to sleep, that google won't help me with... When setting kernel boot-param vga to 37d, usplash's resolution gets messed up... any ideas why?
[22:24] <dirtbag> ajhtiredwolf, where  in the menu does vrtualbox appear onc eit's installed? i'm not finding it :\
[22:24] <davygrvy> Koenigsegg:  it might be a pnp monitor thing
[22:24] <LjL> Huufarted: sudo update-rc.d gdm remove
[22:24] <Koenigsegg> davygrvy: Nope, 1360x768 is at the top of the list. It's better than before though, before I got linux headers, restricted modules and nvidia glx 180 the max was 1024x768 I think.
[22:24] <ajhtiredwolf> dirtbag applications system tools
[22:24] <LjL> Huufarted: (if you're using GDM, which is the default, as your login manager)
[22:24] <Koenigsegg> davygrvy: Possible. But I hope not, I've no idea how to fix that =|
[22:24] <ajhtiredwolf> dirtbag or just type virtualbox in a console
[22:25] <LjL> Huufarted: besides haven't you considered using Server given it's, well, a server?
[22:25] <Huufarted> LjL, it is the same.
[22:25] <LjL> Huufarted: kernel's slightly different
[22:25] <Huufarted> LjL, from what I understand, the only difference is the default installed apps and gdm.
[22:25] <ajhtiredwolf> LjL the server versino has a GUI as well now
[22:25] <LjL> Huufarted: also, you get less cruft installed that isn't relevant to a server
[22:25] <Huufarted> LjL, do you know how it's different?  NVM, i can go look it up
[22:25] <LjL> ajhtiredwolf: it does?
[22:25] <thecookie> How would I install a version of a package that's not "stable" for my current release (a version of php later than 5.2.6)
[22:25] <Huufarted> LjL, cruft?
[22:25] <NativeAngels> is there a free version of plesk anywhere or something like it
[22:25] <ajhtiredwolf> LjL yeah, which is kinda lame i think
[22:25] <LjL> Huufarted: not entirely - it does have the PAE extension enabled, i know that much
[22:26] <LjL> Huufarted: GUI apps and such... i didn't mean cruft in a negative sense, just as stuff that a server won't need
[22:26] <davismj> !ask
[22:26] <davismj> will do
[22:26] <davygrvy> Koenigsegg:  as the saying goes, it should all just work ;)  max for me is 1920x1200 on my old 7800GTX, for which my monitor can NOT do
[22:26] <funkyHat> NativeAngels: the closest thing is probably webmin
[22:26] <LjL> ajhtiredwolf: do you have a pointer to the specific changes and/or the rationale for me?
[22:26] <sputnik> hey... anybody familiar with trackerd?
[22:26] <ajhtiredwolf> LjL negatory, i just have it installed on one of my servers
[22:27] <NativeAngels> im usin that
[22:27] <Joushou> Is there anyone that might know why setting the vga kernel-param, might mess up usplash-resolution (stetched vertically)?
[22:27] <NativeAngels> how easy it to setup zones on webmin
[22:27] <amonkey> i'm trying to mount a raid1 set of 2 disks, but for some reason i see both disks as devices for mount. can I just mount one of them or is there something I have to do so that it uses both of them as raid?
[22:27] <LjL> !webmin | NativeAngels
[22:27] <davygrvy> Koenigsegg:  does CRT-1 have the correct name of your monitor?
[22:28] <NativeAngels> !ebox
[22:28] <corey> Someone told me to check the repositories. what does that mean?
[22:28] <Koenigsegg> davygrvy: That would be nice, right ;-j.. I've got a 8800GT, so I'm pretty much convinced..
[22:28] <funkyHat> Oh, my bad
[22:28] <LjL> NativeAngels: actually, i think there's yet another alternative to ebox as ebox is likely still broken on intrepid. the name escapes me though
[22:28] <Koenigsegg> davygrvy: Is that in nvidia x sverver settings? Checking
[22:28] <NativeAngels> ok
[22:29] <corey> Someone told me to check the repositories. what does that mean?
[22:29] <ajhtiredwolf> hey can you combine two satas on a raid after ubuntu has already been installed on one?
[22:29] <davygrvy> Koenigsegg:  under GPU1, should list the monitor.  Yeah, something is wrong
[22:29] <Tapout> damn, everytime I get this ;  [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.  .... I end up being frozen, gotta reboot :(
[22:29] <daftykins> ajhtiredwolf, you could probably create a RAID 1, by telling the controller to copy from one to the other
[22:29] <daftykins> but the default behaviour is to wipe any disk involved in a RAID array
[22:29] <oCean_> !repos | corey
[22:30] <corey> ajhtiredwolf: Short answer : no . if you can it would be dangerous
[22:30] <dieselsmoke> corey: the repositories are 'mirrors' in which you get all your updates and program packages.
[22:30] <Koenigsegg> davygrvy: *sigh* =[.. I don't even have GPU1, only X screen 0 and GPU 0..
[22:30] <ajhtiredwolf> daftykins corey that is kinda what i figured... i just REALLY dont want to redo my mythserver when I upgraded to my terrabyte drive haha
[22:30] <NDS|Brandon> :S Why does Ubuntu hate me ;'(
[22:30] <corey> dieselsmoke: is that similar to the add/remove programs tab?
[22:31] <corey> ajhtiredwolf: What kind of RAID do you want?
[22:31] <ajhtiredwolf> corey just want to combine the terrabyte drive to my existing 500g because ftp has run out of space
[22:31] <oCean_> NDS|Brandon: I honestly cannot tell you to ask a question, since yours is one :) However, you might want to share some details. And see if anyone here can help
[22:31] <ajhtiredwolf> corey troble is i also use it as a myhtserveer music server and ssh server so wiping and reformatting will be a pain
[22:32] <dieselsmoke> corey: yes, thats where they can be installed from, they are populated from the enabled repositories, look in 'synaptic'settings, repositories. in your menu.
[22:32] <omega260> anybody here konw how to disable ssh in ubuntu?
[22:32] <daftykins> ajhtiredwolf, just plug in the new drive and setup everything storage wise to be on that drive
[22:32] <daftykins> instead of on the internal one
[22:32] <daftykins> *500GB
[22:32] <corey> ajhtiredwolf: You wouldnt want to do that. There is no point in installing a RAID unless you want increased performance or redundancy. For you mythserver the bottle neck is network performance not HDD performance.
[22:33] <syntac> hi, i have an X11 server running on a remote system and ubuntu on my laptop. is there a way i can view X from the rmeote system on my laptop (remotely)?  Something like 'remote desktop' in windows
[22:33] <ajhtiredwolf> daftykins I could seperate the mythserver to the 500gig and the storage on the terrabyte but I dont think thta I can create an ftp home directory on the terrabyte drive, i had problems with that in the past
[22:33] <omega260> how do i disable ssh on ubuntu so i do not get hacked?
[22:33] <danbhfive> omega260: can't you just remove it?
[22:33] <ajhtiredwolf> corey  i would be upgraind for more space not for performance
[22:33] <_VIM_> omega260: unless port 22 is open i wouldnt worry too much, or just remove it
[22:34] <omega260> how to i remove it?
[22:34] <NDS|Brandon> :) Ok heres some details, I have a Dell Optiplex GX260 and I am trying to install Ubuntu, but I get to the point where teh desktop loads and get the following erroe: "Buffer I/O Error on Device SR0, Logical Block 357794" I burned on the lowest possible speed 16x and I cant see why my PC is rejecting it
[22:34] <_VIM_> assuming you have it on 22
[22:34] <dieselsmoke> syntac: look in the menu, system, preferences, remote desktop. and set it up.
[22:34] <davismj> where would i go to ask a question about alpha 5 network manager
[22:34] <oCean_> omega260: I don't think the ssh server is installed by default (on desktop) but you could remove it from startup, or remove it completely
[22:34] <omega260> i installed it
[22:34] <omega260> but i do not know what im doing
[22:34] <danbhfive> davismj: #ubuntu+1
[22:34] <omega260> so i think its best to take it off for now
[22:34] <ajhtiredwolf> omega260 just apt-get remove ssh
[22:34] <corey> ajhtiredwolf: then dont worry about RAID. I do recomend playing around with a RAID array though. It is amazing to see performance actually double!
[22:34] <omega260> oh sweet thaks
[22:34] <danbhfive> anyone know how to collect error data from dmesg when the harddrive is locked up?
[22:34] <syntac> dieselsmoke: am i setting it up on the remote machine or on my local machine? I tried that already and it said could not connect and had something to do with port 5900
[22:35] <ajhtiredwolf> omega260 it might be ssh-server
[22:35] <sputnik> hey, can trackerd index email under ubuntu?
[22:35] <dieselsmoke> syntac: set remote desktop to allow, on the remote box.
[22:35] <sputnik> can't get the @#$ thing to work, with either evolution or thunderbird
[22:35] <ajhtiredwolf> corey the problem is for some reason you cant have a uservers home dir in an external drive
[22:35] <syntac> dieselsmoke: it isn't running gnome, i am using the 'awesome' window manager
[22:35] <WorldBFree> anybody tried booting the alternate .iso straight from the hd?
[22:35] <NDS|Brandon> :) Ok heres some details, I have a Dell Optiplex GX260 and I am trying to install Ubuntu, but I get to the point where teh desktop loads and get the following erroe: "Buffer I/O Error on Device SR0, Logical Block 357794" I burned on the lowest possible speed 16x and I cant see why my PC is rejecting it
[22:36] <corey> ajhtiredwolf: then make it internal...
[22:36] <_VIM_> omega260: I think its openssh-server and openssh-client
[22:36] <daftykins> NDS|Brandon, that usually happens when the CD drive is faulty or just plain can't read the disc properly
[22:36] <qknight> schmidtm_: huhu
[22:36] <dieselsmoke> syntac: then I can't help you much, the server uses vino-server, the client viewer is vinagre
[22:36] <NDS|Brandon> Well, my CD Drive is impossible to change
[22:36] <daftykins> it can also happen when the disk drives are configured incorrectly within a PATA/IDE system
[22:37] <daftykins> that's one of those little Dell's with a laptop style drive isn't it?
[22:37] <NDS|Brandon> yes
[22:37] <NDS|Brandon> :|
[22:37] <NDS|Brandon> I have an external drive
[22:37] <qknight> schmidtm_: hab dir das falsch gesagt: cubic ist jetzt default im kernel nicht reno, siehe: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUBIC_TCP
[22:37] <NDS|Brandon> But the BIOS doesnt support USB BOOT
[22:37] <qknight> schmidtm_: und sag mir bei gelegenheit mal dein jabber account im query  ;-)
[22:38] <yoyit2> i have a 2GB flash drive.. its completely empty but it says that im using 700MBs
[22:38] <_VIM_> !de
[22:38] <oCean_> !de | qknight
[22:38] <qknight> oh sorry
[22:38] <guntbert> !de |
[22:38] <_VIM_> gotcha again oCean_ :P
[22:38] <danbhfive> NDS|Brandon: is your computer really old?
[22:38] <oCean_> _VIM_: yes!
[22:38] <melik> hey would anyone be willing to help me out for a quick second, they just have to help test my SSH daemon :$, it'll take like 2 minutes tops.
[22:38] <_VIM_> :)
[22:38] <NDS|Brandon> no itsnot really old
[22:38] <Tapout> For a newer ati driver, do you go to ati.com's website and download it or is there usually a package containing the latest video drivers?
[22:38] <NDS|Brandon> :\
[22:38] <NDS|Brandon> Its only like 2 years old
[22:39] <NDS|Brandon> :s
[22:39] <guntbert> !ot | melik
[22:39] <ajhtiredwolf> corey i mean a drive besides where the OS is installed
[22:39] <Zoimaru> Hello people i have installed Xubuntu on a Mac but now i have problems makin' the iSight working can u help me?
[22:39] <oCean_> NDS|Brandon: sometimes changing dma mode might help. (bios thing)
[22:39] <LinMint-Cholo> NDS|Brandon do you know it doesnt support usb boot or can you just not get it to work?
[22:39] <omega260> thanks its removing it il learn how to remote connect when i feel more comfortabl working in linux
[22:39] <MalfermitaKodo> Hi! Y'all!
[22:40] <daftykins> hai
[22:40] <danbhfive> NDS|Brandon: I ask because the few newer computer Ive come across support usb booting.  My computer is only a few years old, and the way it is supported is kinda obscure.  I have to have the device plugged in, then select harddisk as the first device to boot, then select my usb drive as the harddrisk to boot.
[22:40] <corey> ajhtiredwolf: that is a problem then. It sounds like a RAID solution is your only hope. It may be easier to just back everything up and reinstall
[22:40] <qknight> schmidtm_: this is the device i meant: http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/home/index.htm
[22:40] <WorldBFree> i have the alternate iso downloaded.  i have extracted vmlinuz and initrd.  i have changed grub accordingly but yet it still asks me for the cd location when it boots for install
[22:40] <davygrvy> Koenigsegg:  my fault, I meant GPU0
[22:40] <MalfermitaKodo> How can I upgrade to a newer version of subversion (pun not intended)?
[22:40] <ajhtiredwolf> corey aye, but i might as well screw with it first before wiping heh.
[22:40] <Rexie> hey.. I can't full screen streaming videos after I updated flash-nonfree thingy.. why is that? and what can I do to fix it?
[22:40] <Koenigsegg> davygrvy: Wahey, you're alive :). Checking
[22:41] <danbhfive> MalfermitaKodo: have you checked getdeb.net?
[22:41] <NDS|Brandon> So the How do I boot from it :|
[22:41] <LaNCeloT_RW> Hi guys, i got a problem on my laptop: I used to have 8.04 but (now using Vista) and I'm now trying to install 8.10 .. but, it doenst even boot! Sometimes i get into live CD but as soon as I open an application or something it crashes my laptop. The laptop completely turns off... and I have to unplugg and plug it again several time to the power cable. Any 1 knows about this?
[22:41] <corey> ajhtiredwolf: there must be a way to get it to do what you want... Are you an experienced linux user?
[22:41] <NDS|Brandon> I have the alternate one downloading
[22:41] <Koenigsegg> davygrvy: Display devices: CRT-0 (CRT-0)
[22:41] <Zoimaru> Sombody have installed linux on a mac?
[22:41] <Koenigsegg> davygrvy: Was that what you wanted?
[22:41] <MalfermitaKodo> danbhfive: I did now, no hits
[22:42] <corey> zoimaru: yes, i have
[22:42] <sergius> hello
[22:42] <ajhtiredwolf> corey semi, the problem is that you can't create links to a secondary partitioned drive in linux
[22:42] <Zoimaru> corey wich mac version do u have?
[22:42] <danbhfive> NDS|Brandon: well, my implied suggestion would be to play around with your bios, and see if you can find the setting somewhere.  O, and btw, you need livecd version I think.
[22:42] <Lisimba> Can I configure ubuntu to not wake up (from suspend) when I open the lid of my laptop, but instead to wait until I hit the power button?
[22:42] <LinMint-Cholo> LaNCeloT_RW: did you make the disk that youre using to install?
[22:42] <NDS|Brandon> I have the livecdversion
[22:42] <corey> zoimaru: iBook, I was going to ask the same of you
[22:42] <NDS|Brandon> And I have the alternate downloading
[22:42] <Zoimaru> :P
[22:43] <NDS|Brandon> so once that finishes Ill play around in the bios
[22:43] <danbhfive> MalfermitaKodo: well, you could install the package from jaunty maybe, but thats totally unsupported.  The other option is to upgrade to jaunty, and that is not yet supported :p
[22:43] <yoyit2> how do i  free up space on my flash drive, beaause it says its already empty
[22:43] <yoyit2> HELP!!
[22:43] <LaNCeloT_RW> [LinMint-Cholo]: yes, I just downloaded ubuntu from their website, burnt the cd and put into the drive... :) I tried MInt as well (with the same Re-Writable CD)
[22:43] <LaNCeloT_RW> [LinMint-Cholo]: I've already tried to turn off ACPI LAPCI and other F6 options from boot menu
[22:44] <corey> yoyit2: I already did. Your problem has been solved.
[22:44] <NDS|Brandon> Is 16x to fast to burn a cd?
[22:44] <davygrvy> Koenigsegg:  yeah, was off screen for a bit..  I don't understand why the nvidia driver doesn't offer you any high resolutions
[22:44] <emma> test
[22:44] <MalfermitaKodo> danbhfive: you see, I come from Gentoo and know that you can there selectively install unstable packages... is this possible in Ubuntu as well? I tried many options in synaptic but couldn't find something like that
[22:44] <emma> what's this?
[22:44] <corey> nds|brandon: no. slower is better though
[22:44] <Pricey> emma: I'm sure there are other channels you can test in.
[22:44] <davygrvy> Koenigsegg:  g2g
[22:44] <MalfermitaKodo> Can I have some pointers?
[22:44] <Pricey> NDS|Brandon: Probably. Depends on the drive and disk i guess.
[22:44] <Koenigsegg> davygrvy: Makes two of us then. Thanks anyway
[22:44] <emma> Pricey something is confusing here.
[22:45] <saywatmang> im trying to use chkconfig to disable some daemons but insserv keeps telling  me there is a loop between services and exiting w/o making any changes
[22:45] <yoyit2> corey: sorry i dont see it
[22:45] <NDS|Brandon> :s
[22:45] <guntbert> !welcome | emma
[22:45] <saywatmang> is there any way to get around this or do i have to fix this loop manually ?
[22:45] <LinMint-Cholo> first problem LaNCeloT_RW: i wouldnt use a rewritable for a boot disk.
[22:45] <emma> This is not #ubuntu though.
[22:45] <Guest13512> What program do I need to convert a movie from avi to mp4?
[22:45] <emma> here I am in #ubuntu yes?
[22:45] <Zoimaru> yes
[22:45] <MalfermitaKodo> emma: yes
[22:45] <Pricey> emma: Yes.
[22:45] <LinMint-Cholo> LaNCeloT_RW: get a dvd-r or dvd+r and then put the iso file on there
[22:45] <emma> This is making no sense.
[22:45] <Pricey> emma: /redraw
[22:45] <NDS|Brandon> :s
[22:45] <corey> yoyit2: to free up space you delete stuff
[22:46] <danbhfive> MalfermitaKodo: no, at least not in a supported manner.  Try going to packages.ubuntu.com      and then directly download and install whatever you want.  The only generally supported method of upgrading in Ubuntu is to wait for the next release (backports being the exception)
[22:46] <NDS|Brandon> So if I cant boot from USB my only option is to keep trying?
[22:46] <yoyit2> corey: i know.. i have but it says i still have stuff on it
[22:46] <emma> I've started a query with #ubuntu and I'm seeing chat here, but I still see chat in #ubuntu but it does not match.
[22:46] <LaNCeloT_RW> [LinMint-Cholo]: will Ubuntu boot from the .iso file on a DVD ??? Don't need to "burn iso to cd" ?
[22:46] <funkyHat> MalfermitaKodo: you can try a couple of things :there may be a ppa with a newver version of the software you want, or it might be in the backports repository (in which case you could use pinning to put backports at a lower priority for most packages, and then pin the package you want higher
[22:46] <corey> yoyit2: did you try to format it? Try on a different machine
[22:46] <MalfermitaKodo> funkyHat: what is ppa?
[22:46] <yoyit2> corey: i delted everything including the hidden trash folder.. yet it says it still has 700MBs on it
[22:46] <Guest13512> What program do I need to convert a movie from avi to mp4?
[22:47] <NDS|Brandon> Reformat?
[22:47] <kane77> hi, on my laptop I tried to enable magnifier in compizconfig and it said it needs to enable mouse polling so I enabled that and that restarted X.. now I cannot login.. it logs me in but restarts x, how do I disable compiz (or compiz) from command line?
[22:47] <NDS|Brandon> :s
[22:47] <LaNCeloT_RW> [LinMint-Cholo]: or do I need to burn the image to the DVD ?
[22:47] <Dr_willis_AAO> Guest13512,  ffmpeg, mencoder,  and perhaps front ends  for those command line tools.
[22:47] <NDS|Brandon> Is installing inside windows bad?
[22:47] <yoyit2> corey: when i use gparted on it, it comes up with an error right before it does the fat32
[22:47] <LinMint-Cholo> LaNCeloT_RW: yes, dvds are the best to use for isos, just dont get a dvd-r|W|, cant be rewritable
[22:48] <LinMint-Cholo> LaNCeloT_RW: are you using power2go to burn the iso?
[22:48] <Guest13512> is there any graphical ? Im new user of a linux and I hope I won't handle with this in console ^^
[22:48] <guntbert> emma: "with #ubuntu and I'm seeing chat here, but I still see chat in #ubuntu but ..." doesn't make sense to me, what is your problem?
[22:48] <corey> yoyit2: dont use gparted then! I really do suggest trying a different computer to
[22:48] <yoyit2> and if i dont have another pc?
[22:48] <LaNCeloT_RW> [LinMint-Cholo]: I use DeepBurner to burn ISO... but I think I can burn the "cd iso" on a DVD even it's diff. media
[22:48] <yoyit2> corey: if i dont have one??
[22:49] <funkyHat> MalfermitaKodo: ppas are personal package archives, they are extra package repositories available on launchpad.net
[22:49] <Dr_willis_AAO> Guest13512,  theres front ends to those tools.. or read some guides on how to use them. there are plenty of examples on theur ussage online
[22:49] <corey> yoyit2: I know nerds are antisocial but, you should have at least one friend
[22:49] <emma> guntbert -- I typed /query #ubuntu by accident. It's opened up this window (in irssi) I already had #ubuntu open in another window (I meant to type /join #ubuntu). Now I see this chat here (but cannot tab complete) and the chat in the #ubuntu channel but they don't match up!
[22:49] <Dr_willis_AAO> Guest13512,  or try avidmux (in the repos) , or winff. (not in the repos)
[22:50] <Dr_willis_AAO> !find avid
[22:50] <Dr_willis_AAO> avidEmux :)
[22:50] <MalfermitaKodo> funkyHat: ty!
[22:50] <salmon> hey having a problem i can't seem to find anything on; on the net... when i try to run the updater, synaptic, anything like that i get this message     E: Encountered a section with no Package: header

[22:50] <corey> yoyit2: try to free up space from within a live cd
[22:51] <NDS|Brandon> Is running Ubuntu from within XP ok :s
[22:51] <NDS|Brandon> Or will it still run slow
[22:51] <LinMint-Cholo> LaNCeloT_RW: i just wouldnt depend on a cd or cd-rw for booting, data might have trouble on there. whats happening when youre booting up also almost sounds like youre booting on a virtual drive, you arent installing it inside windows are you?
[22:51] <spiritwalker> why i cant make compiz-icon starup when the ubuntu starts and when the system is fully charged i can????
[22:51] <funkyHat> MalfermitaKodo: generally googling for '*program name* ppa' will find the most useful info :)
[22:51] <emma> Yes this is very unusual I'm closing this window :)
[22:52] <guntbert> emma: on freenode there can be only one channel named #ubuntu, I have no idea what /query does. I suggest you close that other channel and ask your questions here :)
[22:52] <spiritwalker> does any one knows
[22:52] <emma> guntbert: yeah I have it synced appropriately now. It was very twilight zone. Apparently there would be chat while I was observing it, but no chat while I was not observing it.
[22:52] <CppIsWeird> just double checking, if I rsync -rctv /dir1 /dir2, dir2 will be an exact replica of dir1, correct?
[22:53] <guntbert> emma: nice, do you have a support question?
[22:53] <LaNCeloT_RW> [LinMint-Cholo]: I'm booting it as usual... just put the cd on drive, start live cd (since installation is inside live cd) then it crashes, the laptop just turns off COMPLETELY, even the leds turn off! =/
[22:53] <salmon> so whenever i try to run synaptic or the updater, i get this error message. http://paste.ubuntu.com/126959/ and i don't know what to do to fix it. can someone please help me
[22:53] <deany> Guest13512, ffmpeg -i inputfile.avi -vcodec libx264 -b 800k  -acodec libfaac -ab 128k -ar 48000 -ac 2 outfile.mp4
[22:54] <ziroday> salmon: try do sudo apt-get clean, and then sudo apt-get update
[22:54] <Dr_willis_AAO> amazing :) i actually know enought to know what that command did deany  :)
[22:54] <salmon> ziroday, will give that a shot
[22:55] <sprinkmeier_> CppIsWeird, I use "rsync --archive --verbose --dry-run", check the output, then drop the "--dry-run"
[22:55] <nigtv> Im wondering, im running in console only without x, and there is a web page: www.kennethkirschner.com, with links on it to many mp3's, but the links are named differently than the mp3s they link to. In w3m, i can press SHIFT+L to show all of the links, but i cant copy them, and i need the entire list so i can wget it
[22:55] <anti_theocon> hey!
[22:55] <LaNCeloT_RW> [LinMint-Cholo]: and when boot is going to start I can read something like no APCI connected or something like this... but since I used to have 8.04 running on this laptop I think it should be ok running 8.10 ...
[22:55] <nigtv> I would just use wget, but i cannot use wildcards
[22:55] <anti_theocon> help with quanta?
[22:56] <guntbert> !ask | anti_theocon
[22:56] <Dr_willis_AAO> I thouhgt you quoted wildcards with wget... or i may be mistaken :)
[22:56] <salmon> ziroday, so i tried that and got this "E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[22:56] <salmon> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[22:56] <salmon> "
[22:56] <Dr_willis_AAO> otherwise the shell expands the  wildcards
[22:56] <nigtv> is there any way to just like show all the links on the page and export that to txt
[22:56] <anti_theocon> tnx...the help menu is not working in quanta, and i'm running gnome
[22:56] <nigtv> no, you cannot use wildcards in html
[22:56] <nigtv> at least thats what its saying
[22:57] <nigtv> they are all named ######.mp3, i.e. 6 numbers
[22:57] <jrib> nigtv: use grep
[22:57] <nigtv> i think im using the wrong syntax for that
[22:57] <LinMint-Cholo> LaNCeloT_RW: the only time ive had that happen before is with a virus, but then again if your comp is trying to boot solely on a disk it seems possible that if the cd is faulty then it could lead the computer to shutdown. Try running the boot process using a dvd-r and if the same thing happens, install it without the live cd, ive done it that way alongside vista and itll do fine. with the other thing check and see what your boot
[22:57] <LinMint-Cholo>  priority is set as and keep your disk drive at the top, then your hard drive, then usb, etc.
[22:57] <frostburn> salmon you have another package manager running
[22:57] <kane77> hi, on my laptop I tried to enable magnifier in compizconfig and it said it needs to enable mouse polling so I enabled that and that restarted X.. now I cannot login.. it logs me in but restarts x, how do I disable compiz (or compiz) from command line?
[22:57] <cyanide> Hello everyone. Can anyone tell me the location or command line to download "deb"? I don't know what it is but I need it for an install it seems :)
[22:58] <guntbert> !doesnt work | anti_theocon
[22:58] <nigtv> i -dump 'd the page source, and grepped that for .mp3, then -o it, but that just prints ".mp3" 86 times
[22:58] <jrib> cyanide: take a step back.  What are you trying to do?
[22:58] <jrib> nigtv: do it right?
[22:58] <david__> Hello,
[22:58] <nigtv> i think so, is there a way to make it also print the 6 characters before mp3?
[22:58] <nigtv> i was looking but couldnt find one
[22:58] <jrib> nigtv: that's what I mean.  Do it right
[22:59] <salmon> frostburn, im sure i don't. when i first encountered the problem, i simply re-started my computer hoping that would fix it. so i went straight back to the updater and got the same message..
[22:59] <cyanide> Was going to install btnx, but then discovered I can't in 8.10 so google'd and discovered this post, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=968530
[22:59] <emma> Guys, the last two days my audio in Intrepid has been extremely doggy. Worse than ever. And it's practically random.
[22:59] <kane77> cyanide, why would you need 'deb'?
[22:59] <LinMint-Cholo> cyanide: you should have a gdebi program preinstalled that when you download a .deb file you should be able to choose to run it with the program and it will install the package for you.
[22:59] <emma> It just fails to work all of a sudden.
[22:59] <anti_theocon> more secific...when accessing help message state 'could not find service khelpcenter' which is installed on machine
[22:59] <jrib> nigtv: you want to match a pattern of some sort.  Not just ".mp3"
[22:59] <nigtv> emma: compare process lists
[22:59] <emma> Is there any sure fire way to restart pulse from the command line?
[22:59] <nigtv> right
[22:59] <cyanide> which gives "E: Type '‘deb' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openoffice.sources.list
[22:59] <cyanide> E: The list of sources could not be read." when I attempt the first command
[22:59] <cyanide> I'm trying to configure my MX Revolution

[22:59] <jrib> !who | cyanide
[22:59] <frostburn> salmon, are you using sudo?
[23:00] <LaNCeloT_RW> [LinMint-Cholo]: ok mate. I will try to burn it on a DVD-R and check if it will boot, otherwise I will be back here and check with you how to install it without the LiveCD ;) Thanks!
[23:00] <salmon> frostburn, always :]
[23:00] <emma> !sound
[23:00] <LaNCeloT_RW> [LinMint-Cholo]: I will try Mint 6 using a CD-R as well.. I liked Mint Style
[23:00] <LinMint-Cholo> LaNCeloT_RW: absolutely, let me know
[23:00] <Guest13512> guys, what command I need to use to convert an avi to mp4 in mencoder?
[23:00] <daftykins> emma, "sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart" i think
[23:00] <jrib> cyanide: I don't see how mouse configuration and openoffice are related
[23:00] <LinMint-Cholo> LaNCeloT_RW: so do i :)
[23:00] <LinMint-Cholo> lol
[23:00] <LaNCeloT_RW> [LinMint-Cholo]: LOL
[23:00] <jrib> nigtv: do you know about regular expressions?
[23:00] <LaNCeloT_RW> ok.. brbr
[23:00] <LaNCeloT_RW> brb*
[23:01] <cyanide> jrib: either do I but thats the error I'm receiving :(
[23:01] <nigtv> not sure, let me check
[23:01] <jrib> cyanide: receiving when doing what exactly?
[23:01] <Koenigsegg> displayconfig-gtk seems like a nice tool, judging from some forums. Has it been replaced by something else or has it just been discontinued?
[23:01] <frostburn> salmon, can you do a ps -ef and pastebin it?
[23:01] <cyanide> Jrib: sudo apt-get install xbindkeys xmacro
[23:01] <salmon> frostburn, gimmie a sec
[23:01] <nigtv> --regexp= ?
[23:01] <davidstri> Is there anyone in particular that can help me with installing a program from sourceforge?
[23:01] <LaNCeloT_RW> [LinMint-Cholo]: should I use POwerISO in order to burn Ubuntu Iso to a DVD ??? Or can I use Deep Burner?
[23:01] <nigtv> david: probably
[23:01] <Brad450> about ubuntu isnt working anymore any ideas???
[23:02] <jrib> cyanide: pastebin the contents of the file in the error message and the output of the command « sudo apt-get update »
[23:02] <jrib> davidstri: if you're more specific maybe...
[23:02] <NDS|Brandon> If I cant get Ubuntu working, any other good distros to try that would be easier?
[23:02] <LinMint-Cholo> LaNCeloT_RW: id use either power2go or infrared burner
[23:02] <Guest13512> guys, what command I need to use to convert an avi to mp4 in mencoder?
[23:02] <kane77> hi, on my laptop I tried to enable magnifier in compizconfig and it said it needs to enable mouse polling so I enabled that and that restarted X.. now I cannot login.. it logs me in but restarts x, how do I disable compiz (or compiz) from command line? can anyone help me? I need my laptop functional ;)
[23:02] <nigtv> generally, you would extract it if it is archivved, then cd to where it is, then ./configue, then make, then make install
[23:02] <jrib> Guest13512: ffmpeg is probably easier (my 2 cents)
[23:02] <guntbert> !compile | davidstri
[23:02] <salmon> frostburn, http://paste.ubuntu.com/126962/

[23:03] <OzFalcon> Anyone having stability problems with 9.04 on netbooks? (hp2133). Networking seems to hard crash..... Randomly.
[23:03] <cyanide> jrib: "E: Type '‘deb' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openoffice.sources.list" from sudo apt-get update
[23:03] <Guest13512> anyway how to do it in ffmpeg?
[23:03] <Zopiac> if I use a hard reset when booted from my windows partition, can I not mount the windows part. from ubuntu?
[23:03] <emma> daftykins: that did not return the audio
[23:03] <guntbert> !jaunty | OzFalcon
[23:03] <MalfermitaKodo> Let me retry with unset LANG
[23:03] <davidstri> guntbert: Alright, thanks, I'll take a look at that website.
[23:03] <daftykins> emma at what point did it stop working?
[23:04] <frostburn> salmon, you're running a dist upgrade here root     26101 26100  0 17:46 ?        00:00:01 /usr/sbin/synaptic --dist-upgrad   while that's running you won't be able to do any package manipulation
[23:04] <LaNCeloT_RW> - err - power2go ? W4rez
[23:04] <OzFalcon> ubottu, k ta
[23:04] <daftykins> hehe
[23:04] <guntbert> davidstri: have fun :)
[23:04] <emma> daftykins: I just did something to make it work again.

[23:06] <NDS|Brandon> :|
[23:06] <MalfermitaKodo> jrib: ty!
[23:06] <frostburn> salmon, unsure.  if an upgrade ever goes bad, i just blow away every partition other than /home and rebuild
[23:06] <NDS|Brandon> It waswnt booting, so I tried installing in Windows, it says it cant acces the CD
[23:06] <jrib> cyanide: still there?
[23:07] <cyanide> jrib: yes :)
[23:07] <jrib> cyanide: pastebinning?
[23:07] <nigtv> i cannot get this to work
[23:07] <nigtv> ill try it later
[23:07] <nigtv> bye
[23:07] <NDS|Brandon> It waswnt booting, so I tried installing in Windows, it says it cant acces the CD
[23:07] <cyanide> jrib: how do I do that?
[23:07] <jgood> Hey guys, came here a few days ago about installation problems, never got it solved hoping maybe to get it this time
[23:07] <balleyne> Zopiac: you're having trouble mounting an NTFS windows partition after doing a hard reset? Using the ntfsfix command, you may be able to get it to mount properly.
[23:07] <jrib> !pastebin | cyanide
[23:07] <salmon> frostburn, thats what i did the last time, but i just went back to 8.04 because i had the disc for it. just been waiting on the new distro to come out... rats. if i can't update anything till then will that cause any real issues?
[23:07] <fish> ok, so what do I need to put in console to convert from avi to mp4 in ffmpeg?
[23:08] <cyanide> jrib: bash: !pastebin: event not found :(
[23:08] <jrib> cyanide: read what ubottu said
[23:08] <Koenigsegg> Is there *no* way to edit screen resolution/monitor settings besides gedit+xorg.conf??
[23:08] <NDS|Brandon> :| Why wont Ubuntu work :|
[23:08] <jgood> so what happens, i through my CD into my computer, the startup comes up, i select my language, i select any option and i press enter.... nothing happens, the disk kinda starts to spins but then does nothing and i can use my arrows anymore (it beeps when i do) and i can't do anything else
[23:08] <Zopiac> balleyne: says ntfsfix command is not found
[23:08] <Dr_willis_AAO> !find ntfsfix
[23:08] <balleyne> Koenigsegg: System > Preferences > Screen Resolution ?

[23:09] <NDS|Brandon> !help
[23:09] <NDS|Brandon> !install
[23:09] <_VIM_> jgood: did you check cd for errors first?
[23:09] <jgood> yes
[23:09] <gajop>  i'm having trouble with 32bit libstdc++, i don't know where to put it so compiler recognizes it; if i put it in /usr/lib it messes up 64bit compiles (though they do compile, just at first report invalid versions); and if i leave it in the original install place, it reports this: http://codepad.org/XL1neRvT
[23:09] <jgood> i did an MD5 check
[23:09] <_VIM_> jgood: did you try burning the cd at a lower speed?
[23:09] <jgood> i did it at the lowest speed possible
[23:09] <NDS|Brandon> Same here
[23:10] <Koenigsegg> balleyne: It ssays my max res is 1024x768. Nvidia X Server settings says 1360x768. But I don't believe that..
[23:10] <jgood> and i reburnt the iso, which was clean
[23:10] <NDS|Brandon> Thats my problem
[23:10] <_VIM_> jgood: have you tried the alternative CD yet?
[23:10] <balleyne> Zopiac: yeah, you'll need to install ntfsprogs as ubottu mentioned
[23:10] <jrib> cyanide: do you understand?
[23:10] <Koenigsegg> gajop: Will check, Thanks
[23:10] <jgood> by alternative CD do you mean just another copy?
[23:10] <_VIM_> !alternative > jgood
[23:10] <NDS|Brandon> What Kind of system can the Alternative be installedon?
[23:10] <balleyne> Koenigsegg: ah, yeah, that GUI seems to only work within the limits of xorg.conf I think
[23:10] <jgood> nope didn't try that.... let me find it real fast
[23:10] <phox> Koenigsegg: ctrl-alt-+ and ctrl-alt-- will change resolutions, but you probably need to fix modelines for your monitor; the binary nvidia driver generally manages to pull in DDC data correctly.
[23:10] <fosco_> NDS|Brandon: any system
[23:10] <Zopiac> balleyne: ok, its installed, but how do I use ntfsfix? I can't just do 'ntfsfix /media/disk/' as it isn't mounted there already
[23:10] <Dr_willis_AAO> NDS|Brandon,  same as the desktop
[23:11] <_VIM_> NDS|Brandon: any
[23:11] <cyanide> jrib: I just did it, I think lol you receive anything
[23:11] <phox> but that assumes that your xorg.conf is set correctly to use DDC....
[23:11] <jrib> cyanide: you have to give me the url
[23:11] <guntbert> NDS|Brandon: all systems,  but it is no live CD
[23:11] <Dr_willis_AAO> Zopiac,  you DONT use  it on a mounted filesystem use the device /dev/sd## and use sudo
[23:11] <NDS|Brandon> Yeah
[23:11] <cyanide> jrib: sorry, first time doing it: x.x http://paste.ubuntu.com/126968/
[23:11] <NDS|Brandon> Does Ubuntu Support NTFS?
[23:11] <Dr_willis_AAO> NDS|Brandon,  Yes.
[23:11] <phox> NDS|Brandon: any distro does.
[23:11] <jrib> cyanide: I need you to open /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openoffice.sources.list
[23:11] <phox> NDS|Brandon: ntfs-3g
[23:12] <jrib> cyanide: I need you to open /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openoffice.sources.list and pastebin the contents
[23:12] <balleyne> Zopiac: ah, you'll need the device name instead of the mount point. `sudo fdisk -l` will list all the detected devices, you should be able to see which is the NTFS partition you want
[23:12] <NDS|Brandon> Ok :)
[23:12] <Koenigsegg> phox: Well, that's the running point, isn't it.. This is my first Ubuntu installation, and then you can probably figure out the rest..
[23:12] <NDS|Brandon> I might try this trick then
[23:12] <Kriss3d> uhm i have a little issue with VI.. when i start it to edit a file and press the insert key to edit the file contents.. if i then press the arrow keys to normally move the cursor. it instead prints letters like ADN and such.. what am i doing wrong ? havent been using vi for a very long time
[23:12] <jrib> Kriss3d: arrow keys in vi?  blasphemy.  You probably want to use "vim-gnome", not the default "vim-tiny"
[23:13] <jgood> _VIM_, which version of the alt CD should i download? I386 right?
[23:13] <frostburn> gajop, you can change your libraries in your Makefile before compiling
[23:13] <Kriss3d> jrgp, then what should i use if not arrow keys ?
[23:13] <Zopiac> tried ntfsfix /dev/sda4 and it says it doesn't exist
[23:13] <cyanide> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/126969/
[23:13] <jrib> cyanide: get rid of the quotes
[23:13] <_VIM_> jgood: is unless you have 64 bit computer, I'd go with i386
[23:13] <frostburn> Kriss3d, just get the standard vim package
[23:13] <balleyne> Zopiac: did you use sudo?
[23:13] <Dr_willis_AAO> Zopiac,   you did use sudo at the front? and perhaps its not sda4
[23:14] <gajop> frostburn: libraries are fine, when i compile with -m32 option i expect it to search in /usr/lib32 or /lib32 to find the proper lib32 libraries... or the entire idea of having 32bit libraries is pointless
[23:14] <Zopiac> lol I feel stupid xD thanks, I didn't use sudo
[23:14] <timothy> i need help finding a video editor that lets me have a video with audio and also have background music playing.
[23:14] <Dr_willis_AAO> Kriss3d,  FAQ - :) - install the vim-full package
[23:14] <NDS|Brandon> :s
[23:14] <Zopiac> wait---nope, nothing
[23:14] <Kriss3d> Dr_willis_AAO,  thanks
[23:14] <n8tuserf> Kriss3d -> i  is for insert, not the key marked insert
[23:14] <frostburn> gajop, you'll probably have to specify to use the lib32 instead, i've never done it before so not sure what the switch may be
[23:14] <balleyne> Zopiac: nothing as in, same error? (doesn't exist)
[23:14] <Zopiac> same error
[23:14] <cyanide> jrib: update worked that time :D
[23:15] <carol_> Olá
[23:15] <frostburn> gajop, man gcc =P
[23:15] <cyanide> jrib: so did the original command I was trying! Thanks a lot :)
[23:15] <Kriss3d> n8tuserf,  ah that makes sense... though i have already vim installed on this distro..
[23:15] <Kriss3d> but thanks..
[23:15] <jrib> cyanide: no problem
[23:15] <gajop> frostburn: ok... ill try it out then, thanks
[23:15] <balleyne> Zopiac: hmm, you're sure it's /dev/sda4? fdisk said that's the NTFS partition?
[23:16] <n8tuserf> Kriss3d -> well then just launch it, vi filename
[23:16] <_VIM_> Kriss3d: you can type vimtutor in a terminal, if you have 30 minutes to spare...
[23:16] <Zopiac> balleyne: im guessing you can't say /dev/sda4/, it must be /dev/sda4 ?
[23:16] <Kriss3d> by the way.. are there any guides to how to have "/etc/init.d/networking start"  and NetworkingManager start automaticly instead of me having to write it myself ? which rc should i edit if any ?
[23:16] <balleyne> Zopiac: yes, no trailing slash
[23:16] <timothy> i need help finding a video editor that lets me have a video with audio and also have background music playing.
[23:16] <Zopiac> all right
[23:16] <Kriss3d> _VIM_,  thanks ill do that when i got more time
[23:17] <metalforever> wow... this channel got much more popular... geez
[23:17] <carol_> Timothy, sorry, but i don't know how could i help you
[23:17] <snarkster> ive got an issue with ubuntu on a dell optiplex gx260.  the desktop will not finish loading and the keyboard locksup so i cant change to a vterm
[23:17] <NDS|Brandon> :|
[23:17] <NDS|Brandon> There
[23:17] <_VIM_> metalforever: most popular distro! so I would hope so :)
[23:17] <timothy> carol_: ok thanks.
[23:18] <NDS|Brandon> Thats my exact issue as well
[23:18] <Magilum> Is there any way to change how gnome renders links? I have a dark theme, and as such the dark blue is unreadable.
[23:18] <NDS|Brandon> Snarkster = Exactly my problem
[23:18] <metalforever> eeek
[23:18] <metalforever> i remember the 6 version.
[23:18] <metalforever> s
[23:18] <jrib> Magilum: I'd guess that's done in the theme
[23:18] <balleyne> !openmovieeditor | timothy
[23:18] <balleyne> !kino | timothy
[23:18] <metalforever> try kino
[23:18] <jussi01> !info openmovieeditor
[23:18] <snarkster> hmmm must be this system as I have 2 such machines identical.
[23:18] <metalforever> sudo apt-get intall kino
[23:18] <jussi01> !info kino
[23:19] <jussi01> !info kdenlive
[23:19] <balleyne> lol thanks jussi01
[23:19] <jussi01> ;)
[23:19] <carol_> Someone want talk with me?
[23:19] <NDS|Brandon> Snarkster its not
[23:19] <_VIM_> of course ubottu's master gets it right ;)
[23:19] <metalforever> sure.
[23:19] <carol_> i'm brasilian
[23:19] <NDS|Brandon> My machine does it too
[23:19] <timothy> balleyne: i've tried kino, pitivi, open movie editor, avimedux, and kdenlove
[23:19] <metalforever> try cinelerra
[23:19] <metalforever> the spelling probably isnt right on that
[23:19] <timothy> metalforever: i've tried that too.
[23:19] <metalforever> and.. whats the problem.
[23:19] <frostburn> Magilum, you can change your gnome-terminal color scheme under edit > profile pref > color
[23:19] <NDS|Brandon> Snarkster
[23:20] <NDS|Brandon> Try the alternative
[23:20] <snarkster> ok well im going to forums to try and find out some info...
[23:20] <timothy> metalforever: its horrid.
[23:20] <snarkster> see ya
[23:20] <metalforever> well
[23:20] <metalforever> i cant help you there
[23:20] <metalforever> i thought cinelerra had a lot of options
[23:20] <NDS|Brandon> and type in IRQPOLL ALL_GENERIC_IDE=1
[23:20] <metalforever> try wine if you're that bothered.
[23:20] <timothy> is there any program like windows movie maker
[23:20] <metalforever> try wine
[23:20] <metalforever> and yes, if you know how to use them.
[23:21] <NDS|Brandon> Wine is its own worst enemy
[23:21] <metalforever> give each one a chance, hm?
[23:21] <metalforever> brandon- homebrew?
[23:21] <metalforever> last i checked, nds's couldnt enter irc any other way.
[23:22] <diesel> I noticed that I have cups and cupsys installed?  What is the difference?
[23:23] <Dr_willis_AAO> !info cupssys
[23:23] <fsufitch> hi. i need some help. it would appear that the nvidia driver is broken on my computer. whenever i boot while using it, ubuntu freezes when i get to X actually being launched
[23:23] <Dr_willis_AAO> !info cupsys
[23:23] <Dr_willis_AAO> diesel,  nothing it seems :) they point to same package.
[23:23] <daftykins> i really hate the lack of customization in Rhythmnbox, i just want to change the text size so i can see more on-screen yet there seems to be no way to do it
[23:23] <alexei> hi, after moving the root partition to a new bigger disk I dont see the graphical boot progress bar anymore. Any idea why?
[23:23] <metalforever> i dont use nvidia... cant help you
[23:23] <metalforever> did you use ubuntu's proprietary driver install?
[23:24] <fsufitch> metalforever, yes
[23:24] <metalforever> next time, dont.
[23:24] <metalforever> the radeon hd installer doesnt work either.
[23:24] <davidstri> Does anyone know how to resize the window for kdenlive?
[23:24] <daftykins> fsufitch, try reinstalling nvidia-glx-177
[23:24] <davidstri> The window is too big for my screen
[23:24] <fsufitch> metalforever, well gee thanks, and not use any of my video card either, i assume? It worked properly until today
[23:25] <metalforever> well no
[23:25] <fsufitch> daftykins, 177 didn't work before, so i was using 173
[23:25] <metalforever> you need to install the drivers using the installer on the nvidia website.
[23:25] <daftykins> reinstall that then.
[23:25] <fsufitch> daftykins, i tried. same problem.
[23:25] <metalforever> or use open source drivers
[23:25] <metalforever> it isnt my fault its broken
[23:25] <daftykins> did you purge the package properly and force it to redownload fsufitch  ?
[23:25] <skinny__> hi , i have problem to install skype
[23:26] <fsufitch> metalforever, the open source drivers arent good enough (yet), and i know it's not your fault.
[23:26] <fsufitch> daftykins, i tried remove and reinstall, but i'll do a purge now
[23:26] <metalforever> install off the website
[23:26] <metalforever> it might be a source install.. im not sure.
[23:26] <skinny__> could somebody help me ??
[23:26] <metalforever> probably not.. its proprietary.
[23:26] <daftykins> fsufitch, "apt-get clean" as well to remove it from the apt cache
[23:26] <metalforever> should be very easy to do
[23:26] <metalforever> download to your desktop
[23:27] <sparklejess> skinny__: what have you tried already?
[23:27] <_VIM_> !skype | skinny__ (have you looked here?)...
[23:27] <metalforever> right click, go to properties or what have you
[23:27] <fsufitch> metalforever, i'll try that if purge/reinstall doesnt work
[23:27] <metalforever> choose the checkbox that says can boot this file, or similar
[23:27] <metalforever> i dont know the specifics
[23:27] <metalforever> open terminal
[23:27] <metalforever> cd Desktop
[23:27] <jgood> what does the wubi installer do? how does it transform windows into linux?
[23:27] <DasEi> !wubi
[23:28] <Magilum> jrib: How can I edit that?
[23:28] <metalforever> sudo  ./filenamehere
[23:28] <skinny__> the problem is i have AMD processor and the installer is only for intel processor i think
[23:28] <DasEi> jgood: it performs 'alright' but is only recommended for testing I believe
[23:28] <Dr_willis_AAO> jgood,  it installs to a file on the windows sytem and boots that file basically
[23:29] <metalforever> geez, well i have amd and i can tell you you can get skype working with it
[23:29] <jgood> DasEi, yea, i was looking at it trying to figure out what it is like... i guess if your not tech savey it is easy to double click something then to partition and dual boot or something
[23:29] <metalforever> i cant tell you how though, sorry.
[23:29] <CrocoJet> how can I remove program "firestarter" to do not load at boot ?
[23:29] <_Whipper__> its not the processor :)
[23:29] <metalforever> go to services in the admin menu?
[23:30] <metalforever> or system monitor
[23:30] <metalforever> one of those has the ability to change startup programs.
[23:30] <CrocoJet> metalforever, not showing at services
[23:30] <metalforever> i dont know, i dont use ubuntu.
[23:30] <CrocoJet> ok
[23:30] <_VIM_> jgood: if you need windows that badly it's better to install Ubuntu normally, then just get VirtualBox or Vmware (assuming you have a Windows CD/.iso file) that way you can use windows when you're on ubuntu...
[23:30] <cjae> what is the command to rebuild kde's window decorator again
[23:30] <DasEi> jgood: as said above it nstalls like an app in win and is not a native linux
[23:30] <_Whipper__> sudo is quite useful command..
[23:31] <DasEi> !dualboot | jgood
[23:31] <dotblank> _Whipper__: its soo much better then windows UAC
[23:31] <cjae> sudo dpkg -reconfigure -kwin-decorator or something like that
[23:31] <n8tuserf> CrocoJet -> you can de-install your firestarter if you wish
[23:31] <davidstri> Whipper: My windows won't fit my moniter. Do you know how to change my windows sizes?
[23:31] <metalforever> found it
[23:31] <metalforever> preferences >
[23:31] <CrocoJet> n8tuserf, was thinking ... that
[23:32] <metalforever> sessions
[23:32] <Kriss3d> _VIM_,  I can strongly recommend installing ubuntu via WUBI instead for people who want easy installs
[23:32] <metalforever> ;)
[23:32] <jgood> yea, i wasn't planning on using the wubi, just waiting for the alt CD to finish and browsing the site...
[23:32] <_Whipper__> get rid of that win s**t :)
[23:32] <DasEi> !resolution | davidstri
[23:32] <_VIM_> Kriss3d: well I don't
[23:32] <AakashPatel> anyone installed ubuntu on thier macbook pro?
[23:32] <jimdb_> State of Colorado office of technology says that firefox is insecure and that only ie6 is safe.
[23:32] <_VIM_> :)
[23:32] <metalforever> oh boy
[23:32] <Kriss3d> it makes alot of things very easy
[23:32] <dotblank> jimdb_: says slashdot
[23:32] <_VIM_> easy != stable
[23:32] <sparklejess> skinny__: yep, I'm pretty sure it works on all processor types.  Have you downloaded the .deb file from the skype website?
[23:32] <sebsebseb>  
[23:33] <dotblank> jimdb_: the page is down now
[23:33] <jimdb_> True
[23:33] <metalforever> fock.
[23:33] <DasEi> jgood: for a first taste, the dektop-cd is live-able with no changes to your pc, dualboot the most common way
[23:33] <metalforever> this is why i hate installing linux
[23:33] <_Whipper__> im using Caos on my Acer lap-top, and it runs like a dream :) even with nVidia chipset and all :)
[23:33] <metalforever> brb while i get a screwdriver
[23:33] <kindofabuzz> has anyone done a "do-release-upgrade -d" to upgrade to jaunty alpha5? what were your results?
[23:33] <metalforever> my cd drive doesnt open when you mess up the bootloader.
[23:33]  * n8tuserf hands a sledgehammer to metalforever 
[23:34] <metalforever> it has to be unplugged on the inside on startup
[23:34] <metalforever> and you need to plug it in while its running
[23:34] <metalforever> hang on.
[23:34] <dotblank> _Whipper__: The wireless card is super sensitive and seems to support injection, additionally it runs about 3x faster then windows
[23:34] <kindofabuzz> umm there is a lttle hole you stick a paper clip in to open a cd tray
[23:34] <horndog> CrocoJet, have a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=542756
[23:34] <GeffIsLegend> can someone help me uninstalling ubuntu and reinstalling windows?
[23:34] <jgood> guess wubi has its purpose... i kinda want to install it just to see what exactly it does, because how do you get windows to function like a taste of linux?
[23:34] <metalforever> right
[23:34] <metalforever> except it doesnt open
[23:34] <metalforever> tried that .
[23:34] <dotblank> GeffIsLegend: :(
[23:34] <jgood> GefflsLegend, do you have xp discs?
[23:34] <jgood> or windows discs?
[23:35] <metalforever> Geff, insert windows cd.
[23:35] <DasEi> GeffIsLegend: #windows is tere, too
[23:35] <GeffIsLegend> i have windows vista yes
[23:35] <cjae> sudo dpkg -reconfigure -kde-window-mamager or something like that
[23:35] <dotblank> I bet windows is harder to install now
[23:35] <cjae> -m+n
[23:35] <sparklejess> skinny__: there are people on ubuntuforums talking about problems with AMD 64, is that what you're running?
[23:35] <GeffIsLegend> but when i try to boot from cd it doesnt work, it just loads in ubuntu
[23:35] <kindofabuzz> GeffIsLegend, stick the cd in and follow directions, just like installing linux
[23:35] <_Whipper__> dotb: yep, u can fight til the end with ubuntu & nvidia :P
[23:35] <jgood> when installing linux did you partition or delete windows?
[23:35] <_VIM_> jgood: windows is so closed sourced, it's very hard to get it to 'function like a taste of linux' as you put it. Wubi would be the closest thing to that...
[23:35] <GeffIsLegend> pretty sure its deleted lol
[23:35] <DasEi> GeffIsLegend: #windows is tere, too;;; check your bios to boot from cd
[23:35] <kindofabuzz> nice
[23:36] <dotblank> GeffIsLegend: This a issue with your bios not booting from the cdrom drive first
[23:36] <jgood> yea what they all say
[23:36] <kindofabuzz> why do you want windows back, linux has everything you need and more, for free!
[23:36] <_Whipper__> DONT install Windows if u have Lin on your machinae
[23:36] <GeffIsLegend> oo ok so go to bios options and select boot from cdi n there?
[23:36] <n1gh7m4r3> ive installed a theme (mac 4 linux) with epidermis on ubunto 8.10 and when i go to themes it says this theme will not look right because gtk + theme engine is not installed
[23:36] <_Whipper__> youll get in So much troble..
[23:36] <jgood> _VIM_ yea thats why i'm wondering how the wubi works.... because windows is so far away from linux i don't get how you can sample linux without at least VM'ing or dualbooting
[23:36] <skinny__> sparklejess , yes i got amd 64x2
[23:36] <dotblank> _Whipper__: why not? it will still work well except ubuntu
[23:37] <GeffIsLegend> wouldnt the windows cd just reformat my whole pc anyways and it partitions?
[23:37] <jgood> GeffisLengend, depending on your BOIS you will have to select your start up order
[23:37] <GeffIsLegend> oh ok
[23:37] <jgood> and then just put CD drive first....
[23:37] <scootie> hi
[23:37] <GeffIsLegend> okay will do
[23:37] <dotblank> GeffIsLegend: that is your choice. but it will overwrite the boot loader
[23:37] <DasEi> GeffIsLegend: #windows is there, too, and yes it does
[23:37] <sparklejess> skinny__: what version of linux are you using?
[23:37] <_Whipper__> dot: yeah, if u part. it all over, and Dont use lin anymore
[23:38] <GeffIsLegend> okay thanks , im going to go look at something then ill be right back fellas :]
[23:38] <jgood> have fun XD
[23:38] <skinny__> sparklejess , i use ubuntustudio 8.10
[23:38] <vladdY> how do I install mono on ubuntu server, apt-get install mono is not working?
[23:38] <_Whipper__> u CAN put windows in Linux-based machine, but then u really want to know what the f**k r u doing :)
[23:38] <_VIM_> !info mono
[23:38] <_VIM_> hmmm
[23:39] <sparklejess> skinny__: When you run it from the applications menu, does it give you a particular error message?
[23:39] <scootie> i need to do a backup of a partition, preferably to a dvd or two. paragon hard drive manager 2009 didn't work. i'm running off the ubuntu 8.1 install cd in livecd mode. any suggestions?
[23:39] <dotblank> !mono-common
[23:39] <dlmarti> I thought the general consensus was to get rid of mono?
[23:39] <jgood> scootie have you tried magic?
[23:39] <_Whipper__> Rsync
[23:39] <dotblank> mono-common is the package name though
[23:39] <kindofabuzz> scootie, Clonezilla
[23:39] <vladdY> why would you get rid of mono
[23:40] <dlmarti> why would you want it?
[23:40] <vladdY> im switching my custoemrs from windows to linux, our app is c#.net
[23:40] <kindofabuzz> scootie, well you have to backup to a hard drive somewhere locally or on a network, but then you could burn to dvd
[23:40] <vladdY> so they can run c# on ubuntu-server
[23:40] <sparklejess> skinny__: I don't have experience with this personally, but there's a workaround linked here:
[23:40] <Flynsarmy> How do i change my own password from the terminal?
[23:40] <dlmarti> vladdY That is probably a good reason, the only one I've heard
[23:40] <fosco_> Flynsarmy: passwd user
[23:40] <Dreamglider> i'm trying to salvaga a disk with testdisk,  i had ubuntu and windows installed, now in testdisk at asks men what type of partition table was: Intel/pc partition, EFI GPT part, Apple part, Non part, Sun part or xbox part. which is it ?
[23:40] <dotblank> vladdY: sudo apt-get install mono-common
[23:40] <christian_> hello people i have a problem with my ubuntu 8.10 Kernel 2.6.27-11-generic X86_64. The first problem is npviewer.bin uses many resources. Any solution?
[23:41] <vladdY> mono is one of the best thing to happened to linux, coming from windows guy that's slowly learning linux
[23:41] <dlmarti> I just never liked #.net
[23:41] <scootie> kindofabuzz: that should work. thanks
[23:41] <jgood> while i'm still waiting for my alt CD to download and i have time to kill, anybody have a linux/ubuntu 101 page that i could read over....
[23:41] <sparklejess> skinny__: http://macprolinux.blogspot.com/2007/10/skype-on-64-bit-gutsy.html (It's gutsy-specific, but there's a good chance it'll work with intrepid too.)
[23:41] <HoNgOuRu> I have accidentally deleted /usr/lib32, what consequencys will I face now???????
[23:41] <dotblank> Dreamglider: probally intel or dos
[23:41] <vladdY> i worked as java programmer but c# > java in every way
[23:41] <metalforever> THERE we go.
[23:41] <HoNgOuRu> I have accidentally deleted /usr/lib32, what consequencys will I face now???????
[23:41] <kindofabuzz> scootie, yeah i love Clonezilla, i just backed up all my partitons to a samba share, works perfectly
[23:41] <vladdY> ok, looks like mono-common works, thanks
[23:42] <dotblank> HoNgOuRu: umm...
[23:42] <_Whipper__> more beer..
[23:42] <liminal> hi
[23:42] <_Whipper__> eyes hurt.. too much vector-graphs..
[23:42] <dlmarti> HoNgOuRu, the packages that depends on it will not work, try to reinstall that package.  Sorry I'm not that familiar with non-rpm installs so I don't know the commands off the top of my head
[23:42] <HoNgOuRu> I also have /usr/lib64
[23:42] <sam555> Does ubuntu come with Samba?
[23:42] <liminal> yesturday my sound stopped working and i have no idea why
[23:42] <dean> sam555: yes
[23:42] <metalforever> you can tell i skimped on parts when i built this
[23:42] <HoNgOuRu> oh, ok
[23:42] <dean> sam555: if not you can install it
[23:43] <LjL> sam555: uhm i don't think it's installed by default, but it's definitely in the repositories and can be enabled/installed very easily
[23:43] <sam555> dean: thanks!
[23:43] <liminal> everything seems to be functioning,  justno sound
[23:43] <skinny__> sparklejess , thank you dude I fixed the problem right now , im from italy i tried to ask in italian ubuntu support but nobody could help me.. thanks again !!! :)
[23:43] <LjL> !samba > sam555    (sam555, see the private message from ubottu)
[23:43] <_VIM_> _Whipper__: what do you use to create the vector-graphs?
[23:43] <Gnea> sam555: not by default, but it's there to be installed
[23:43] <DasEi> !samba | sam555

[23:46] <metalforever> like.. the official ones.
[23:46] <_Whipper__> VIM: its not so different.. suits for different purpose better.. or something.. i use what i feel like :)
[23:46] <dotblank> metalforever: give them to librarians
[23:46] <dean> metalforever: how did you get cannonical to mail you 30 ubuntu cds
[23:46] <metalforever> they were supposed to be for a speech, but they came like.. 3 days late.
[23:46] <metalforever> .
[23:46] <deinspanjer> I'm trying to install VMware tools on an ubuntu VM, but the install package is warning me that the kernel I currently have was compiled with gcc 4.2.3 instead of 4.2.4.  Will I need to compile my own kernel to get around this error or might there be another kernel-image I could apt-get that is compiled with 4.2.4?
[23:46] <krepo> givi them to me
[23:46] <kindofabuzz> metalforever, put them in random mailboxes in your neighborhood
[23:46] <Frauq> SeLamun Aleyküm . hi.
[23:46] <metalforever> im good like that.
[23:46] <jgood> metalforever, see if your local high school/kids in the high school want them?
[23:46] <LjL> HoNgOuRu: sudo apt-get --reinstall install $(dpkg -S /usr/lib | tr "," " " | sed 's/:.*//g')
[23:46] <metalforever> that might work
[23:46] <metalforever> you think people would take them at a punk show?
[23:46] <kindofabuzz> yeah
[23:46] <metalforever> mmn
[23:46] <metalforever> awesome
[23:47] <krepo> trt
[23:47] <kindofabuzz> tell them all about linux, convert them!
[23:47] <jgood> metalforever, i know at least at my high school if somebody was handing out linux discs i know about 50 people that'd want one
[23:47] <dean> anyone know what I can do with 2 official ubuntu 7.10 cds and a bunch of unofficial ubuntu cds of various versions
[23:47] <kindofabuzz> dean, garbage =)
[23:47] <Dr_willis_AAO> Put them in a box at the local library
[23:47] <dotblank> metalforever: give them out at any programing class
[23:47] <metalforever> well.. i need to get rid of them because of 9.04
[23:47] <jgood> same thing that i suggested to metalforever
[23:47] <metalforever> well
[23:47] <metalforever> unfortunately, my school lacks those
[23:47] <mrwes> Dr_willis_AAO, with a copy of the ubuntu pocket guide
[23:48] <metalforever> they do have one, but i tried to get in there 3 years in a row, and it got axed every time from lack of interest.
[23:48] <krepo> probam sisaj kurac
[23:48] <kindofabuzz> anyone try an intrepid to jaunty upgrade yet? what were your results?
[23:48] <krepo> hohohoh

[23:49] <HoNgOuRu> LjL it gave me an error, "adobe-flash plugin not found...something like that"
[23:49] <metalforever> think if they were slightly outdated, people would want them once i get to carnegie mellon?
[23:49] <krepo> thats normal
[23:49] <metalforever> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[23:49] <LjL> HoNgOuRu: can you give the exact error?
[23:50] <metalforever> ^
[23:50] <dotblank> metalforever: they are still valuable because I guarantee there will be issues during the immediate release of jaunty
[23:50] <dean> too bad 8.10 isn't LTS
[23:50] <kindofabuzz> i agree
[23:50] <krepo> does anybody know some free sign cutting program for ubuntu?
[23:50] <metalforever> awesome.
[23:50] <metalforever> thank you.

[23:53] <ChrisW> jgood: dunno, how would I check?
[23:53] <dotblank> !adobe-flashplugin-nonfree
[23:53] <kindofabuzz> dean, did you do a do-release? or use the cd?
[23:53] <krepo> nabijem vas na kurac good night
[23:53] <LjL> HoNgOuRu: then try with    sudo apt-get -m --reinstall install $(dpkg -S /usr/lib | tr "," " " | sed 's/:.*//g')
[23:53] <ChrisW> I just installed from the CD, wouldn't that pick the right driver?
[23:53] <jgood> ChrisW, no, there are to many thousands of drivers.....
[23:53] <_Whipper__> im running in this desktop.. umm.. ubuntu studio.. kub, edu.. and some pretty weird other stuff :) and running like a moose ;)
[23:53] <dotblank> !flashplugin-nonfree
[23:54] <dean> !flash
[23:54] <jgood> ChrisW, check your laptops manufactors site, they usually have a list of all your drives, and then download the graphics one
[23:54]  * _Whipper__ slaps krepo with an russian trout :)
[23:54] <jgood> ChrisW, since you are running linux you'll need something to convert or run .exe's
[23:54] <dotblank> jgood: usually thats only for windows
[23:54] <ChrisW> jgood: well, how do I find out which one I need and how do I install it?
[23:54] <Kriss3d> hmm what could be the cause of me not being able to configure the clock to show 24 hour at all ?
[23:54] <dean> !wine
[23:55] <LjL> HoNgOuRu: oh hell wait a second. when i said /usr/lib there i didn't actually mean /usr/lib
[23:55] <HoNgOuRu> LjL: the same error
[23:55] <dean> to convert ext3 to ext4 enable extents
[23:55] <LjL> HoNgOuRu: i meant whatever directory you actually want to restore files to
[23:55] <ChrisW> huh? how is a .exe going to help me get drivers on linux?
[23:55] <DasE1> Kriss3d: right-click it, set preferences ?
[23:55] <jgood> ChrisW, on linux i don't know how to install, i'm working on my linux install right now... give me a week and i'll know, or try getting someone else to help XD
[23:55] <HoNgOuRu> oh, ok
[23:55] <daejones> is there anyway to connect the terminal to a keyboard shortcut?
[23:55] <dotblank> ChrisW: good question it won't
[23:55] <HoNgOuRu> I'll change it so
[23:55] <dean>   tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index $DEV
[23:55] <dean>   fsck -pf $DEV
[23:55] <DasE1> ChrisW: more details? see:
[23:55] <jgood> hey, i'm still windows based here..... i'm working on this turnover to linux still
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> ChrisW: some dell drivers come in an exe and need extracting with cabextract
[23:55] <HoNgOuRu> ok, it installed a package
[23:56] <Kriss3d> DasE1, well rightclicking the clock gives various menu options.. none of which include options to switch to 24 hour
[23:56] <HoNgOuRu> thanks

[23:57] <dotblank> DasE1: ChrisW his question was installing drivers and was told to look for drivers from manufacture and use wine if they are exes
