[00:00] <Krell> restricted formats pack is installed and the sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
[00:00] <Krell>   has been run.  on the doc page about dvd all the links say  that i have the things it wants installed.  however (using gnome but i have kaffeine installed) kaffeine tells me "This DVD Video is encrypted.  To be able to watch it you will need to install libdvdcss..." but I do have it installed
[00:00] <Krell>  mplayer says "No stream found to handle url dvd://1
[00:00] <Krell> gxine says The xine engine failed to start. no input plugin was found maybe the file does not exist ...
[00:00] <FloodBot3> Krell: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:00] <Krell> totem will play it but it is soo bad that it is unwatchable
[00:00] <TwoToneSpirit> Krell:  Have you tried vlc?  If it works well, it may indicate your problem more precisely.
[00:00] <micah> great i did it thanks a bunch and im new to ubuntu and everything is great
[00:00] <micah> bye
[00:01] <Krell> TwoToneSpirit, vlc? umm no i have not i will look to see if it is installed
[00:01] <Jon829> what should i download ubuntu with?
[00:01] <TwoToneSpirit> Krell:  sudo apt-get install vlc
[00:01] <TwoToneSpirit> Krell: It's usually my video player of choice
[00:01] <linuxgeek_> guys i need some help i upgraded to januty and now it went in to text mode what do i do now????
[00:01] <TwoToneSpirit> Jon829:  Bit Torrent is the most organic option, and often the fastest.
[00:02] <Krell> TwoToneSpirit, ok brb
[00:02] <Flannel> linuxgeek_: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support, thanks
[00:02] <linuxgeek_> k
[00:02] <Jon829> i dont have anything for bit torrents
[00:02] <cipherZen> Jon829: Traanmission works, comes with Ubuntu
[00:03] <TwoToneSpirit> Jon829:  Are you still running windows?  If so, http://www.utorrent.com
[00:03] <cipherZen> i also use deluge
[00:03] <cipherZen> if youre on windows, utorrent is great as TwoToneSpirit suggested
[00:03] <Krell> TwoToneSpirit, i have it installed and it will play , however it is not stable, flickers a lot
[00:04] <cipherZen> Krell: what video driver are you using?
[00:04] <TwoToneSpirit> Krell:  Hmmm... Flickering... video driver?
[00:04] <Jon829> ok ill try that and ill be back. Thanks
[00:04] <Krell> cipherZen, umm i have to check how may i do that :)
[00:05] <Krell> TwoToneSpirit, how may i check/change the driver?
[00:05] <cipherZen> Krell: lspci | grep VGA
[00:06] <cipherZen> enter that in a terminal, should give you your gpu
[00:06] <TwoToneSpirit> cipherZen:  can you explain lspci and grep to me?
[00:07] <daryl_> Krell any chance your handle is after the electronics company krell?
[00:07] <cipherZen> TwoToneSpirit: lspci lists the PCI devices connected to the system, the | pipes the output to grep, grep matches line by line for something containing, in this case, VGA
[00:07] <TwoToneSpirit> cipherZen:  So grep will echo any line containing the criteria?
[00:07] <cipherZen> yes
[00:08] <TwoToneSpirit> cipherZen:  So, for example, ps ax | grep firefox will give me the line of the firefox process?
[00:08] <Krell> daryl_, no it is for the scifi movie forbidden planet :)
[00:08] <cipherZen> yep, exactly
[00:08] <Jon829> TwoToneSpirit: do you happen to have a link for the torrent?
[00:08] <cipherZen> gotta run all, bb soon
[00:08] <TwoToneSpirit> cipherZen:  Wonderful - great lesson for me for today
[00:08] <cipherZen> np, love to help
[00:08] <daryl_> gottcha thanks. didnt know about that. sounds cool. i'll check it out
[00:09] <Krell> cipherZen, :( i have  VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV530 [Radeon X1600]
[00:09] <cipherZen> most likely its a problem with the ATI drivers
[00:09] <cipherZen> i have had no end to trouble with them
[00:09] <cipherZen> google around in the forums, ill be back in 15 min or so
[00:09] <Krell> how can i change to the general driver
[00:10] <cipherZen> the restricted driver manager
[00:10] <Krell> ok thanks
[00:13] <daryl_> bernz unfortunately the kernel argument vga=normal did not work on my webdt366. i must have missed something. i have been a suse guy since 8.2. only startred using ubuntu very recently. very impressive. does ubuntu offer the ability to convert an existing installation to an ubuntu system? say i can get elive installed. if i put is the ubuntu cd will it offer to convert all settings in to a jaunty?
[00:14] <bmorris> I'm trying to benchmark an app with AB.  What should I use to monitor the server status?  Top? Uptime?  I've heard that top has trouble with multi proc systems.  Is there something else that I should use?
[00:15] <Excell> I use htop
[00:15] <Adriaan> hi, I have a IP from a computer on my network, how can i find the hostname attached to that IP?
[00:17] <bernz> daryl_, i don't know of any install-converter for ubuntu
[00:18] <bernz> daryl_, too bad that kernel arg didn't work, but say -- have you tried kubuntu? it worked on my laptop which otherwise had problems with many other distros (including "straight" ubuntu)
[00:18] <bmorris> ohh htop looks good
[00:18] <oCean_> Adriaan: using the "host" command for example (host <ip>)
[00:18] <daryl_> oh man you have no idea. xububtu was my latest attempt
[00:18] <Floops[w]> Adriaan, try ping -a see if it resolved he hostname
[00:19] <daryl_> tried many. I ran elive again only to see its a script "vga=normal failsafemode " with the space after and all. that isnt a normal command is it?
[00:19] <Krell> how sad, now that i have changed the driver vlc now just shuts down when i try to play a DVD, the others still say i don't have the restricted drivers installed (even though i do)
[00:20] <bernz> daryl_, well, i don't know much about the kernel yet, but i could believe that it's "legal" to have a variable name without a value (like 'failsafemode'[=nothing])
[00:20] <Krell> cipherZen, hello
[00:20] <_r00t-> hello , ubuntu jaunty channel ?
[00:20] <oCean_> !jaunty > _r00t-
[00:20] <bernz> _r00t-, #ubuntu+1
[00:21] <_r00t-> thabjs
[00:21] <_r00t-> thanks bot :P
[00:21] <cipherZen_> hey Krell
[00:21] <lwizardl> anyone here ever configure Ubuntu to operate as a cash register?
[00:22] <cipherZen_> try disabling compiz fusion Krell
[00:22] <Jon829> anyone have a link for a ubuntu torrent?
[00:22] <daryl_> ahhh understand. well this is a nice toy for a hundred (again ebay). i dream of controlling mythbuntu on my new htpc with it so i'll go back at it. ill study the elive system once i get it in and try to mimic it with ubuntu
[00:22] <Krell> cipherZen_, sorry i am new what is that and/or how is that done
[00:23] <cipherZen_> Krell: don't worry, gotta be new sometime:P . go into System-Preferences-Appearance-Visual Effects and  select None
[00:23] <bernz> daryl_, if you can avoid windows mobile like the plague, do it. it is total malware. :-D
[00:23] <daryl_> the goverment just surplused thousands of these so expect that many will be doing this. linux mce has a video on line of a debian sarge custom image he made but it only runs an interface for his home automation platform
[00:24] <bernz> daryl_, i only say so because my work is using winmob as a "platform" and i've witnessed it lock-up in a mission-critical situation (DOH!)
[00:24] <daryl_> oh never would i go there. it came with ce and i only did a system and function check, powered off and began my quest
[00:24] <amikrop> Hello. How can I enable the guest account?
[00:24] <amikrop> !guest
[00:24] <bernz> (anyway, OT, i know... daryl_, let's move this to #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to continue... ;-)
[00:24] <Scunizi> Jon829: it's on the ubuntu.com download page bottom right someplace.. it's a small link you have to look for
[00:25] <bmorris> Anybody have any other ideas for monitoring a sever?  I've checked out htop, top and uptime but i heard that top has some problems with multi proc systems
[00:25] <bazhang> !torrents
[00:25] <daryl_> i also have a smasung ppc 6700 cell/smart phone and yeah it sucks. uagreed. i really appreciate your help! thank you!
[00:25] <Scunizi> Jon829: of course bazhang has the faster method :)
[00:26] <Jon829> lol thanks anyways
[00:26] <Krell> cipherZen_, thank you that seems to have solved the problem for vlc it will now  play without flickering badly, it does however show some lines sometimes around some things (the quality is not 100% but it plays :)
[00:26] <SuperDefenderX> Hey, how do I hack someone else's Ubuntu box?
[00:26] <Dreamglider> litle problem: When i insert a SD media card to my laptop it gets mounted and i can access the SD card but it does not show up in gparted nor with fdisk -l ?
[00:26] <SuperDefenderX> Like, break in and steal their identity?
[00:26] <frank_austin> Can anyone help me get my sound working on 8.10? pidgin fails - "sound: Initializing sound output drivers Segmentation fault" and preferences > sound just exits
[00:26] <SuperDefenderX> Look at their porn?
[00:26] <SuperDefenderX> Stuff like that?
[00:26] <bazhang> SuperDefenderX, you dont.
[00:26] <cipherZen_> Krell: yeah, you can thank ATI for that. Their drivers are terrible, i only buy nvidia cards now for that very reason
[00:26] <oshh> Hello, Im having troubles printing with canon ip 2500 ?I've tried google but that just refers to a mostly outdated links
[00:27] <Ndshacker> When I try to run sudo apt-get remove I get this :  dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[00:27] <Scunizi> oshh: does it print at all?
[00:27] <Dreamglider> SuperDefenderX: according to your nick you shoul already know how to do that !
[00:27] <oshh> scunizi: no
[00:27] <cipherZen_> Krell: and to answer your question about what Compiz Fusion is, it is the software that allows for all the cool special effects that you see in ubuntu, such as minimize effects, pretty multiple desktops, etc
[00:27] <Scunizi> oshh: have you checked canon's site to see if they have a linux driver?
[00:27] <neglesa6ks> and most important of all: wobbly windows.-...
[00:28] <SuperDefenderX> I'm just teasing. I know how strict this channel is about OT conversation
[00:28] <yoyit2> how can i share my internet with my laptop to another device
[00:28] <cousteau> is xubuntu (XFCE) enough for a pentium II? or should I consider installing LXDE or Enlightenment?
[00:28] <sobersabre> hi guys.
[00:28] <Krell> cipherzen_, ok i will keep that in mind for later :) i am still having some issues with some of the other players would you mind helping me with that as well?
[00:28] <sobersabre> what's going on with google ?
[00:28] <cipherZen_> Krell: sure, shoot
[00:28] <whip> SuperDefenderX: just a brick and a crowbar will do just fine :)
[00:28] <Ndshacker> How can I make my own Live CD :s
[00:28] <bernz> SuperDefenderX, what would your first move on a presumed "typical" ubuntu box be? :-D that's topical, because it will enlighten readers about potential security risks on their ubuntu boxen
[00:29] <Dreamglider> Ndshacker: unetbootin
[00:29] <cipherZen_> Ndshacker: there are lots of different tools that can help you with that, depends on how customized you want to make it
[00:29] <whip> cousteau: depends whats ya need..
[00:29] <yoyit2> how can i share my internet with my laptop to another device
[00:29] <Krell> cipherZen_, well if I am playing the dvd then i must have the libdvdcss installed yes? why would the other programs say i do not or don't have the pluggin or say can't handle that stream etc
[00:29] <oshh> Scunizi: No, assumed it was just something I had to do in synaptic package manager but checking on now
[00:29] <bazhang> !ics
[00:30] <sobersabre> I'm not able to access google, gmail, etc.
[00:30] <frank_austin> Can anyone help me get my sound working on 8.10? pidgin fails - "sound: Initializing sound output drivers Segmentation fault" and preferences > sound just exits
[00:30] <cipherZen> Krell: precisely, you can get libdvdcss from the mediabuntu repositories
[00:30] <SuperDefenderX> bernz.... Default setup, right out of the box - or, right of the ISO. :)
[00:31] <SuperDefenderX> We need some disco boogie in this room.
[00:31] <whip> frank_austin: its not pidgin, its either HW or your settings..
[00:31] <Jon829> with bit torrents do you save the file then go to your program to download them and add it?
[00:31] <Krell> cipherZen, i have installed the "forbidden" drivers pack and on the sights that talk about it have install links on the page and tell me that they are all installed already that is what has me confused
[00:31] <SuperDefenderX> Ubuntu based Disco Boogie.
[00:31] <Rodrigo_Lopes> good night for everthing.
[00:31] <frank_austin> whip: yes I know - that was just an example of the kind of error. How do I reinstall or fix the drivers?
[00:31] <bazhang> !ot | SuperDefenderX
[00:32] <Scunizi> oshh: I checked too but for the US location.. it doesn't have an ip2500 listed  .. it does have a 2600
[00:32] <SuperDefenderX> Fedora!!! Put that in your | and smoke it.
[00:32] <frank_austin> whip: the last round of 8.10 updates seem to have broken the sound although I hear the normal login and startup sounds
[00:32] <bruce89> SuperDefenderX: heh
[00:32] <bazhang> SuperDefenderX, please stop.
[00:32] <SuperDefenderX> Sorry.
[00:32] <bruce89> no need to be so uptight
[00:32] <Scunizi> oshh: and no linux driver
[00:33] <whip> frank_austin: then its not the SOUND thats broken ... :)
[00:33] <cipherZen> Krell: sent you a PM, we can continue on there
[00:33] <yoyit2> how can i share my internet with my laptop to another device
[00:33] <Dreamglider> Anyonw know why i cannot access my SD card with gparted or fdisk ?. It gets mounted on insert and i'm able to access the files!.
[00:33] <bruce89> !router | yoyit2
[00:33] <bazhang> !ics > yoyit2
[00:33] <SuperDefenderX> Actually, I need to know how to compile a kernel for Ibex - but I need directions that explain each of the setting options during the kernel setup
[00:33] <frank_austin> whip: it seems to be focussed on that though. I figure if I can fix the sound it will be a big step forwards
[00:33] <Scunizi> oshh: however there is a thread on ubuntuforums about a linux driver from canon.. see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=592685
[00:34] <Jon829> anyone think a 7 year old computer will work good with ubuntu 8.10?
[00:34] <frank_austin> whip: the only other problem is that the gnome-settings-daemon wont run and I think that may be related to the sound issue too.
[00:34] <mikeazz> ANYONE have any experience with CF -> IDE convertors?
[00:34] <bruce89> Jon829: depends
[00:34] <Scunizi> Jon829: sure.. I just retired 2 of them
[00:34] <whip> frank_austin: using alsa?
[00:34] <mikeazz> i bought a cf/ide convertor to replace my old loud hard drive and bios gets stuck at logo if i have a card connected
[00:34] <Exilant> Jon829: mine is 5 years old, no problem there
[00:34] <frank_austin> whip: i think so - nothing proprietary shows I tried alsa force-restore to no effect (haven't restarted tho)
[00:34] <Scunizi> Jon829: but it would also depend on memory and processor.. what's it got
[00:34] <oshh> scunizi: yeah found that, just didn't find etc bj filter and others
[00:35] <whip> frank_austin: so restart, and dont "force" anything, if u can avoid it..
[00:35] <Dreamglider> Jon829: It should do allright, i have 8.10 on my 9yr old fujitsu with 500MHz amd and 128Mb ram :P
[00:35] <frank_austin> whip: ok hang on...
[00:35] <cousteau> what's the equivalent on Intrepid for the "Screens and graphics" app on Hardy?
[00:36] <Jon829> intel celeron 1.5 gb ram
[00:36] <Dreamglider> tho it is not very speedy but quite usefull nontheless
[00:36] <bruce89> cousteau: Display
[00:36] <orudie> hi, i would like to observe the tail of a log file, how woud i do that ?
[00:37] <cousteau> bruce89: what command is it?
[00:37] <Jon829> dreamglider: Thats crazy. Does it run smoothly?
[00:37] <jrib> orudie: tail logfile
[00:37] <bruce89> cousteau: gnome-display-properties
[00:38] <frank_austin> whip: restarting has not made any difference. I still heard the drum and start but can't launch anything using the sound (pidgin, rythm etc.)
[00:38] <cousteau> oh... and for xubuntu?
[00:38] <Dreamglider> Jon829: i did try to run grub, it did run but it was werrrrrry slow xfce runs much better
[00:38] <bernz> orudie, in fact, 'tail' is the command
[00:39] <Dreamglider> Jon829: sry sry GNOM
[00:39] <bernz> orudie, 'man tail' to learn more
[00:39] <draeday> is there a software that i could use to do some network simulation
[00:39] <Dreamglider> Gnome*
[00:39] <draeday> yea
[00:39] <bernz> jrib has already shown the typical usage (single argument of target file to tail)
[00:39] <Jon829> Dreamglider: lol im about to try ubuntu for the first time so i have no clue what any of that stuff is
[00:40] <LostChain> !cube
[00:40] <Dreamglider> Jon829: what's the cpu speed ?
[00:41] <Scunizi> Jon829: welcome to the wonderful wacky world of choice.. gnome is what ubuntu runs (the look of the desktop for the lack of more explaination), kubuntu runs kde desktop and xubuntu runs xfce (pronounced x-face).. xubuntu is quicker because it takes less resources.
[00:41] <bernz> Dreamglider, your old faithful there kind illustrates how little of significance has changed in computing technology in 9 years, eh?  :-D
[00:41] <bruce89> Scunizi: x-face?
[00:41] <LostChain> does anyone know how to add a background picture to the cube
[00:42] <Jon829> Dreamglider: 2.8 ghz
[00:42] <Scunizi> bruce89: how else would you pronouce it?  xfce?
[00:42] <bruce89> Scunizi: It's the way I've thought it was, but clearly not
[00:42] <bharath> can any one help
[00:42] <Ndshacker> Hi I installed LAMP and wordpress, I decided to uninstall them, but my power died, now I have these residual packages on my computer eating CPU and Memory, I killed the processes and set them not to start up on reboot, but is there anyway to get rid of them cmplelty?
[00:42] <Dreamglider> Jon829: it will run 8.10 fine with gnome
[00:42] <sergei1> what is wrong with my ass ?
[00:42] <yewbuntoo> omg
[00:42] <bharath> how to access voice chat?????

[00:42] <LostChain> does anyone know how to add a background picture to the cube
[00:43] <Dreamglider> bernz: indeed :P (It has no cooling fan, no cd drive, no screen(Broke off) and usb1.0 ! ) but it runs
[00:43] <yewbuntoo> what the hell is going on in #linux,0 ?
[00:43] <bruce89> !stop | sergei1
[00:43] <whip> frank_austin: sorry.. out of my range for now..
[00:43] <bernz> Ndshacker, indeed, there's a "remove orphaned packages" tool -- go "shopping" in the 'Add/Remove...' dialog to find it
[00:43] <bharath> can any one help how to access vocie chat?????????
[00:43] <Scunizi> bruce89: Not sure I follow.. Is there a different way..?  I"m all ears
[00:43] <Ndshacker> Benrz: It doesnt work
[00:44] <Ndshacker> I am slowly picking each one off
[00:44] <humbolt> Anybody not satisfied with the upcoming GDM theme, please have a look at this really unique theme here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Intrepid/Wall-light and vote on it here http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/18143/ and here http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/18286 .
[00:44] <Jon829> my only problem is that its not downloading correctly. Im not getting any iso images
[00:44] <Ndshacker> but mysql seems not to want to work
[00:44] <bernz> Ndshacker, i think there's other similar tools, but i don't know off-hand
[00:44] <bruce89> Scunizi: pronouncing the letters individually
[00:45] <LostChain> i am tring to change the back drop to the cube in ubuntu can anyone help
[00:45] <bruce89> !ot | humbolt
[00:45] <cousteau> LostChain, look for something called "Skydome" on the Desktop Cube plugin settings
[00:45] <LostChain> thats what i needed to know thanx
[00:46] <Scunizi> bruce89: ah.. I've got a sudo military background where all thinks are an acronym and typically "spoken" in some fashion.. xfce just naturally looked like it should sound like x-face.. :)
[00:46] <Jon829> when downloading ubuntu how many files should be in the folder? Anyone have any idea?
[00:46] <bruce89> 1
[00:46] <cousteau> an iso image
[00:47] <Jon829> thats it?
[00:47] <neglesa6ks> Jon829: yes, just one
[00:47] <cousteau> it's a CD
[00:47] <Jork> Hey guys, need a hand here. Trying to install Ubuntu onto a laptop with XP, I already have the Hd partioned with XP installed, but can't get Ubuntu to boot from the CD.
[00:47] <LostChain> !skydome
[00:47] <Jon829> i have 16 and half of them are folder
[00:47] <lstarnes> Jon829: the image itself contains thousands of files
[00:47] <Scunizi> Jon829: you have to burn it to cd like an "image" not "data"..
[00:47] <Ndshacker> I found these :   libnet-daemon-perl libdbi-perl libplrpc-perl
[00:47] <Ndshacker> Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
[00:47] <Ndshacker> The following packages will be REMOVED:
[00:47] <Ndshacker>   libdbd-mysql-perl libmysqlclient15off mysql-client-5.0 mysql-common
[00:47] <Ndshacker>   mysql-server-5.0
[00:47] <FloodBot3> Ndshacker: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:48] <Ndshacker> mmk sorry
[00:48] <LostChain> coopcooper: i cant seem to find skydome in the compizconfig
[00:48] <Jon829> dont i have to save it then put it on a cd?
[00:49] <cousteau> Jon829, save it and then _record_ the CD
[00:49] <lstarnes> Jon829: you have to save it thwen burn it onto a cd
[00:49] <whip> Jon829: use the stick
[00:49] <lstarnes> Jon829: just putting the .iso file on a cd won't work
[00:49] <cousteau> i.e. don't make a CD containing an ISO file
[00:49] <bruce89> !burn | Jon829
[00:49] <Jon829> i dont have an iso at all though
[00:50] <Scunizi> Jon829: what have you got?
[00:50] <LostChain> cousteau: i cant seem to find skydome in the compizconfig
[00:50]  * Ndshacker is proud, he just fixed his own Problem :)
[00:50] <LcnLnx> I would like to open terminal every time as maximized. Is that possible?
[00:51] <Jon829> 9 folders and 7 other files
[00:51] <mattgyver83> My torrent speeds start off at 200, drop to 15-30 then periodically rise again to 100, its not really consistent, any ideas?
[00:51] <LostChain> cousteau: nevermind found it
[00:52] <Scunizi> Jon829: the download should be one file with .iso at the end.. if you "uncompress" it then you'll have lots of files but they won't do you any good.
[00:52] <jpowermacg4> mattgver83: make more connections!
[00:52] <Scunizi> mattgyver83: people come and go.. the route to the connections changes.. etc..
[00:52] <stweston> hello, all.
[00:52] <Jon829> ok so just save the compressed files to a cd then?
[00:53] <Scunizi> Jon829: no.. download the one .iso file, don't uncompress it,  and burn it as an "image"
[00:53] <stweston> I seem to have trouble connecting my Linux box to my mac via Ethernet. I tried 'sudo su (username) route add default gw (ip_address)', but it doesn't work. it spits out /sbin/route: cannot execute binary file. what's wrong?
[00:53] <Jon829> im not getting a .iso file at all
[00:54] <bruce89> !burn | Jon829
[00:54]  * Scunizi pats Ndshacker on the back and gently pushes him out the door to find his own apartment
[00:54] <bruce89> Jon829: well, what is it then
[00:54] <whip> Jon829: from where r u downloadin' from?
[00:54] <bazhang> Jon829, then download one
[00:54] <bruce89> "u
[00:54] <bruce89> !u
[00:55] <whip> thank yuu bruce
[00:55] <Jon829> nevermind i think i just noticed what i was doing wrong
[00:55] <Scunizi> Jon829: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[00:55] <bruce89> whip: well, I'm a bit harsh
[00:56] <whip> !omg
[00:56] <stweston> I seem to have trouble connecting my Linux box to my mac via Ethernet. I tried 'sudo su (username) route add default gw (ip_address)', but it doesn't work. it spits out /sbin/route: cannot execute binary file. what's wrong?
[00:56] <Jon829> ok when i download that just save it then when its done save it and then burn it as an image right?
[00:56] <Scunizi> yep
[00:57] <Scunizi> Jon829: It's litterally 701 megs.. might take a while.
[00:57] <nOStahl> gah every time i try and edit with kino it works for a few eedits and then it freezes up the system  and audio loops in a studder...
[00:57] <nOStahl> how can i fix it
[00:57] <cousteau> stweston, how do you want to connect? ssh?
[00:57] <stweston> cousteau: ethernet.
[00:57] <Scunizi> nOStahl: use avidimux?
[00:57] <cousteau> I mean, what protocol?
[00:58] <nOStahl> looking it up scunizi
[00:58] <stweston> cousteau: WiFi.
[00:58] <Chymera> hi, OI'm getting this error when I'm trying to launch the livecd on a laptop, any ideas?
[00:58] <Chymera> http://pastebin.ca/1365773
[00:58] <cousteau> should be something like `ssh user@192.168.1.2`
[00:58] <Scunizi> nOStahl: there's also Lives!.. Pitivi Video editor and many more
[00:58] <Chymera> nobody
[00:58] <Chymera> ?
[00:58] <stweston> cousteau: uh... I think you lost me.
[00:58] <cousteau> where "user" is your username and 192.168.1.2 is the local IP
[00:59] <evil_tech> suspend isnt working on my mini 9. where should i start looking to figure out why?
[00:59] <cousteau> that's how I would connect to another Ubuntu machine... must be similar for a mac
[00:59] <stweston> cousteau: well, I never said I wanted SSH, but that would be helpful. I just want to be able to use the 'net on the Linux box, but... okay.
[01:00] <Jon829> Scunizi: Thanks for the help. I wasnt paying attention. I was looking for a file after uncompressing it
[01:00] <m1dlg> I have a permitions problem with USB drives, I often get a message saying I am not privilaged to mount the volume. This is not consistant as I can reboot an the issue goes away with some drives but not others. Does anyone have any ideas??
[01:00] <Excessi0n> I have this problem?
[01:01] <LcnLnx> stweston, what about $ sudo route add default gw <your_macs_ip> ?
[01:01] <stweston> LcnLnx: might work, but I just tried that (and something similar) not too long ago.
[01:01] <stweston> LcnLnx: hey! it seems to work now!
[01:02] <stweston> this is some /weird/ voodoo magic...
[01:02] <LcnLnx> stweston, good! is your route table correct? $ netstat -nr
[01:02] <stweston> LcnLnx: lemme check.
[01:02] <evil_tech> suspend isnt working on my mini 9. where should i start looking to figure out why?
[01:02] <b1n42y> any ideas why conky gets erased by window dragging
[01:02] <Excessi0n> b1n42y, What does cube mean when it got to do to make conky rc file .conkyrc ( or download from net some ready rolled) and then just conky or add to sesion manager conky.
[01:03] <stweston> LcnLnx: nope... I guess it was just that no errors showed.
[01:03] <stweston> LcnLnx: I even pinged Google, and it didn't work.
[01:04] <m1dlg> I have a permitions problem with USB drives, I often get a message saying I am not privilaged to mount the volume. This is not consistant as I can reboot an the issue goes away with some drives but not others. Does anyone have any ideas??
[01:04] <b1n42y> Excessi0n: im not sure what youre suggesting
[01:05] <Excessi0n> b1n42y: well that's not what i am sure.
[01:05] <stweston> LcnLnx: okay... when I retype "sudo route add default ..." it just spits out "file exists".
[01:05] <b1n42y> m1dlg: whats FS ?
[01:05] <m1dlg> any, mostly fat32
[01:05] <LcnLnx> stweston, thats weird
[01:06] <stweston> LcnLnx: quite.
[01:06] <bruce89> m1dlg: logs?
[01:06] <m1dlg> ?
[01:06] <b1n42y> Excessi0n: i dont use cube and compiz   .
[01:06] <m1dlg> you need to help me on that one
[01:06] <LcnLnx> stweston, can you ping the mac?
[01:06] <Excessi0n> b1n42y: Hi, how can i use to set opennssh-server to only allow specific tunnels? Eg to my macbook (sharing wifi) via ethernet. The box connects to the cube.
[01:07] <stweston> LcnLnx: huh? sorry... I'll check
[01:07] <stweston> LcnLnx: yes.
[01:07] <m1dlg> I have also pulled my 2nd HDD out and put it in a caddy, I have a suspect drive, and this is ext3 and this also has the permitions error
[01:08] <LcnLnx> stweston, hmm..whats the output for $ route
[01:08] <stweston> LcnLnx: one second.
[01:09] <KFP> Hey? Is there some way I can see what a Windows .lnk shortcut file does?
[01:09] <bruce89> KFP: look at it
[01:09] <bruce89> KFP: it's just text
[01:10] <stweston> I can't paste it, for (seemingly) obvious reasons, but it says that my destination and link-local have blank gateways, while default has my mac.
[01:10] <KFP> bruce89: I tried, but gedit says it cannot open the file.
[01:10] <Excessi0n> kfp, But there is any output on the i.
[01:10] <bruce89> KFP: less then
[01:10] <acegikmo> quick question, I set up netbeans for java only, now I want to add c++ and ruby capability, do i need to do a complete removal or can i just make it download the added sections?
[01:10] <stweston> LcnLnx: (as a gateway) ^
[01:10] <m1dlg> bln42y and bruce89 : I dont know anything about pulling my logs up, but I have tryed my mediaplayer and the error came up, it fixed it's self when I rebooted, I then rebooted and it broke again. I have also pulled a suspect HDD with ext3 on it and this does the same when in a USB SATA caddy
[01:11] <chriszf> Hey, when you right click and share a folder, what mechanism does that use to do the smb sharing?
[01:11] <cousteau> what's lighter? lxde or enlightenment?
[01:11] <LcnLnx> stweston, it seems to be ok isnt it? dont understand why this isnt working
[01:11] <bazhang> cousteau, lxde
[01:11] <stweston> LcnLnx: is what okay?
[01:11] <cousteau> ok, good choice then
[01:11] <LcnLnx> stweston, the output for $ route
[01:11] <stweston> LcnLnx: the connection to the mac is fine, but it seems that it's just the 'net that it won't work...
[01:11] <cipherZen> cousteau: just go all out, go fluxbox :P
[01:12] <stweston> LcnLnx: well, I wouldn't know about the output ofr route.
[01:12] <Alex_21> Hi,
[01:12] <Excessi0n> alex_21, Hi , is there a way to make sure, and now my pidgin keeps freezing when i ps aux |grep identd nothing comes up as unallocated?
[01:12] <acegikmo> wait, found what I'm looking for
[01:12] <acegikmo> cheers
[01:12] <cousteau> cipherZen, I'll give it a try
[01:12] <Alex_21> Is .HTAccess turned on by default in 8.04's Apache?
[01:12] <KFP> bruce89: It's just special characters. Less warned that it may be a binary file.
[01:13] <bruce89> KFP: ah
[01:13] <ScottG489> Could someone help me fix my sound? I'm not really sure whats wrong besides it hasnt been working for the past 2-3 days. The only thing I can think of that might have caused this is an update to gstreamer or because i installed NAS (even thoguh i uninstalled the package). Help?
[01:13] <cipherZen> cousteau: i've had good experiences with it, but it takes some getting used to. very very light, but configuration can be harder. i'd recommend the linux mint community edition w/ fluxbox to get into it some
[01:13] <Excessi0n> Fluxbox is a very good client.
[01:13] <LcnLnx> stweston, no prob. you need to make sure the mac is sharing its connection
[01:13] <stweston> LcnLnx: it is.
[01:13] <Droopsta915> Im trying to fill out a pdf form online. I download the form and fill it out, but when I save a copy it saves the original? Antone know how I can fill it out and save it, with the changes.
[01:14] <stweston> LcnLnx: I checked many times, and each time it says it's sharing its Ethernet.
[01:14] <cousteau> I think I'll use LXDE for now
[01:14] <cipherZen> yeah, i love fluxbox, but it has some irritating quirks sometimes that you have to work around
[01:14] <evil_tech> Droopsta915: a lot of pdf files wont allow you to save with the form filled out
[01:14] <Excessi0n> evil_tech, You have to save it and see.
[01:14] <Scunizi> Droopsta915: online pdf DON'T let you save.. and there's typically a warning about that when you try.. you could print it to a new pdf on your harddrive but then it wouldn't be edible later.
[01:14] <Alex_21> How can I find out if HTAccess is turned on by default?
[01:14] <evil_tech> Excessi0n: save what?
[01:14] <LcnLnx> stweston, then it is voodoo magic ^^
[01:14] <cipherZen> i really wish someone would make a decent ubuntu fluxbox subdistro....
[01:15] <BCampbell> any recommendations fr a good usenet reader..gui please and no pan
[01:15] <Scunizi> Alex_21: ask in #ubuntu-server
[01:15] <stweston> LcnLnx: now... here's a question: when Ubuntu's installing something, does that mean that it's connected? 'cause it's currently (attempting to) install Vbox.
[01:15] <chriszf> forget fluxbox. The original blackbox is better.
[01:15] <akraft> I'm trying to configure grip, but I can't find my cd drive. Rhythmbox sees it, but I can't find it in /mount, /dev, /media, etc. Grip doesn't like cdda://scd0/, which is the best I've been able to find. Any advice?
[01:15] <Excessi0n> evil_tech: What should i look to see other wireless networks when i download that just save the file system of the hardware drivers app. I'm connected to a manual. Is that what you are asking?
[01:15] <chriszf> Well. Okay. That's a lie.
[01:15] <evil_tech> no i was asking why i cant suspend my computer and where I should look to see why
[01:15] <Jon829> Scunizi: I finally got it on the cd lol. Thanks
[01:16] <Alex_21> What is the lightest Window Manager that I can make look like OS X Tiger?
[01:16] <Scunizi> Jon829: great!.. you're off to a new adventure
[01:16] <chriszf> Alex_21: You should just embrace crazy window managers that don't look like other OSes.
[01:16] <Excessi0n> chriszf, That should work smoothly with vista for years. It's a bit complicated for my irc. What channel would i download if i look to see why suspend is not in rpison.
[01:16] <yghannam7388> hello everyone, i was just wondering if there is an Ubuntu Google Summer of Code IRC channel. I tried signing up for the mailing list yesterday but I haven't heard back. Does anyone in here plan on applying to be a student or mentor?
[01:16] <LcnLnx> stweston, if your /etc/apt/sources.list is configured to get the packages from the internet, yes.
[01:16] <stweston> LcnLnx: okay.
[01:17] <Jon829> Scunizi: Yea this will be fun. Thanks again and have a good night
[01:17] <Scunizi> Jon829: you too
[01:17] <cousteau> akraft, maybe cdda:///dev/scd0?
[01:18] <Alex_21> No idea which Window Mangaer is lightest and can look like OS X Tiger.
[01:18] <Alex_21> ?
[01:18] <Alex_21> I need to do this for a client
[01:18] <Alex_21> Who uses OS X 10.4
[01:18] <akraft> cousteau: I'll try it
[01:18] <jpowermacg4> me
[01:18] <jpowermacg4> Alex_21: me
[01:18] <cousteau> Alex_21, XFCE has some aqua-ish themes
[01:19] <Alex_21> XFCE. Nothing else?
[01:19] <jpowermacg4> Alex_21: you want your linux to look like mac?
[01:19] <jpowermacg4> Alex_21: I got a tutorial if u want
[01:19] <Alex_21> Yes, but It is an older system too
[01:19] <Scunizi> Alex_21: http://www.internetling.com/2008/07/16/the-big-x-window-manager-guide-with-screenshots/
[01:19] <bruce89> Xfce is the same theming as GNOME (GTK+ you see)
[01:19] <Alex_21> For GNome?
[01:19] <cousteau> XFCE is also good for low-RAM computers
[01:20] <cousteau> bruce89, XFCE has different themes than Gnome
[01:21] <chriszf> Is... excessi0n a bot?
[01:21] <bruce89> well, the GTK+ theming is the same
[01:21] <chriszf> Or a crazy person?
[01:21] <cousteau> maybe you can install XFCE's on Gnome, but you get more themes with xubuntu-desktop
[01:21] <dave-ubuntu> you can still play gnome games on xfce though (if they are installed)
[01:21] <Excessi0n> chriszf: A better solution is just a bot.
[01:21] <akraft> cousteau: it doesn't like that either. This is so stupid. Rhythmbox thinks it's at cdda://1#/dev, but that isn't working either.
[01:21] <dave-ubuntu> some decent first person shooters for *nix are openarena and assualt (that are in the repos )
[01:22] <imbezol> what can cause a kernel update to be held back?
[01:22] <Droopsta915> Thanks, I saved the pdf file to the desktop, fill it out, then save to file and it kept the changes.
[01:22] <dave-ubuntu> UrbanTerror is also good
[01:22] <cousteau> akraft, I don't have Grip installed here, sorry
[01:22] <dave-ubuntu> needs no isntallation
[01:22] <cousteau> so I don't remember what config it was
[01:22] <functionofxy> hi. i'm trying to bridge an internet connection. the computer that will act as a bridge has internet through ath0, and must relay in on eth0 to another computer. i just tried this and completely screwed up my networking. anyone have any pointers?
[01:22] <dave-ubuntu> just extract the files and run the executable for your platform
[01:22] <bazhang> !ics | functionofxy
[01:22] <akraft> cousteau: well, thanks for the help anyway. I wonder if there's a grip channel around here...
[01:23] <dave-ubuntu> (linux 64, 32 or mac [.app])
[01:24] <DaveIngram> I'm running Windows XP inside of VirtualBox on Ubuntu and it doesn't see the USB ports on my laptop. Does anyone have some advice how I could fix that?
[01:24] <cousteau> akraft, try: /dev/scd0
[01:24] <akraft> cousteau: I think I did, but I will now
[01:24] <cousteau> akraft, http://nostatic.org/grip/doc/ar01s04.html#cdconfig
[01:25] <bazhang> DaveIngram, virtualbox-ose has no usb support
[01:25] <yoyit2> hey does anyone know how to make a net wrok between an xbox 360
[01:25] <cousteau> without any cdda:// or something
[01:25] <javierg> If I connect a bluetooth device how can I see where its mounted?
[01:25] <Ububegin> If your RAM is 4Gb, how large should ur partition be.... Shld be it 4*3 = 12Gb....
[01:25] <DaveIngram> bazhang: there's a little icon for USB.. are you certain?
[01:25] <Excessi0n> javierg, How to see the partitions aren't even mounted.
[01:25] <Ububegin> paging partion, i mean
[01:25] <bazhang> yoyit2, internet connection sharing? did you not read the link?
[01:26] <bazhang> DaveIngram, where did you get it from? repos or other
[01:26] <evil_tech> bazhang: i think there is an option in preference to turn on usb
[01:26] <evil_tech> at least there is in the windows version
[01:26] <bruce89> Ububegin: just slightly more than 4 GB
[01:26] <javierg> Excessi0n, Huh? I just connected a Bkelkin USB to my ubuntu, and want to see how its mounted too on the system. I justed /mnt but its not there.
[01:26] <Excessi0n> javierg: Bazhang just in the system.
[01:26] <akraft> cousteau: ahh, closing the app and restarting it fixed it. There's no "apply" option or anything, so I assumed it was doing it automagically.
[01:27] <Ububegin> bruce89: so the factor of 3 is not really relevant if the RAM is large...
[01:27] <DaveIngram> bazhang: apt-get ..it's the Sun xVM VirtualBox
[01:27] <akraft> cousteau: /dev/scd0 was the one.
[01:27] <bazhang> DaveIngram, then that is -ose (from repos)
[01:27] <akraft> Thanks!
[01:27] <cousteau> akraft, :)
[01:27] <eamon> hey
[01:27] <evil_tech> ububegin: i have 2gb ram no swap
[01:27] <yoyit2> bazhang: ya i did i dont think im haveing problem sharing the internet it is that eth0 thats whats connected to my xbox is not ready so i think its the network
[01:27] <DaveIngram> bazhang: OK.. version 2.1.2.. so no USB?
[01:27] <eamon> hey you are so gay
[01:27] <evil_tech> free -m shows that 1200 is used 700mb free
[01:27] <bazhang> eamon, stop that
[01:28] <bxhondacrx> Does anyone here have any issues with pulse audio muting the master volume when sound sharing?
[01:28] <Ububegin> eamon: pls go the #gay channel.... dont bother us here
[01:28] <yoyit2> bazhang: any ideas
[01:28] <Excessi0n> Niphyr: just plan the partitions and you dont have to go.
[01:28] <bazhang> yoyit2, you read the link?
[01:29] <thiebaude> Ububegin: that did the trick
[01:29] <bazhang> yoyit2, there are likely several tutorials on that
[01:29] <yoyit2> bazhang: ya i did and my eth0 wont work
[01:30] <Ububegin> thiebaude: maybe I will use 6Gb for the paging partition
[01:30] <yoyit2> bazhang: i cant even make a network with it
[01:30] <thiebaude> Ububegin: use 1 1/2 times your ram
[01:30] <functionofxy> bazhang, thanks for the link. how do i undo everything once i'm done?
[01:31] <ScottG489> Could someone help me fix my sound? I'm not really sure whats wrong besides it hasnt been working for the past 2-3 days. The only thing I can think of that might have caused this is an update to gstreamer or because i installed NAS (even thoguh i uninstalled the package). Help?
[01:31] <cristina> ?
[01:31] <evil_tech> suspend isnt working on my mini 9. where should i start looking to figure out why?
[01:31] <thiebaude> Ububegin: yup thats correct 6Gb
[01:31] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=564011 yoyit2
[01:32] <Ububegin> thiebaude: Ok, thanks... I was under the impression. it was 3x of RAM...
[01:33] <jimisrvrox> hey guys I have a pci wireless card that reads on wlan1 but will not work with gnome applet. But when I plug in the usb nic along with the pci. applet sees both cards. How can I get it to recognize just the PCI? BTW I am also having this SIOCSIFFLAGS: no such file crap going clean xubuntu install
[01:33] <cousteau> Ububegin, it's recommended to be 1.5x RAM when you have about 512 MB RAM
[01:33] <functionofxy> bazhang, thanks for the link. how do i undo everything once i'm done?
[01:33] <Excessi0n> When when will be a flash movie on line in a version mismatch.
[01:33] <functionofxy> (ics)
[01:33] <bazhang> functionofxy, undo ics?
[01:33] <functionofxy> yes, bazhang
[01:34] <cousteau> but if you have 4 GiB RAM you probably won't even need RAM
[01:34] <thiebaude> cousteau: but would a person ever need swap if they have 4Gb
[01:34] <cousteau> I mean, won't need SWAP
[01:34] <bruce89> unless you want to hibernate
[01:34] <functionofxy> bazhang, especially if i gave the wrong iptables command
[01:34] <bruce89> or you want the computer to hibernate
[01:34] <thiebaude> thats true
[01:34] <cipherZen> i have 4GB on my box, constantly use virtualization and have about 50 windows open at any given time, and i dont use all 4GB usually
[01:35] <XeKtRuM> I cant get the /etc/rc.local script to execute on system start
[01:35] <cipherZen> but you do need swap for hibernate
[01:35] <XeKtRuM> what can I do?
[01:35] <Ububegin> cipherZen: whats hiberate...
[01:35] <cousteau> I think SWAP is necessary when you want to suspend/hibernate, but not if you don't
[01:35] <cousteau> and have enough RAM
[01:35] <functionofxy> bazhang, should i hold?
[01:35] <Ububegin> cipherZen:  kk, get it... i was thinking of the Java hiberate..
[01:36] <evil_tech> do you need swap to suspend?
[01:36] <cipherZen> Ububegin: it's basically the ability to save the current state of RAM to disk and put  the computer to sleep, so when you start it back up again it loads the system state
[01:36] <bazhang> functionofxy, were you successful?
[01:36] <cipherZen> ah cool
[01:36] <evil_tech> maybe that is why i cant suspend
[01:36] <cousteau> evil_tech, I'm not sure
[01:36] <functionofxy> no, i gave the wrong iptables command #1, forgot to put the right interfaces in
[01:36] <bazhang> functionofxy, I really dont know what you are asking; to disable ics just means to stop the sharing
[01:36] <cipherZen> evil_tech: i don't think suspend requires swap space, i may be wrong though. i thought suspend kept RAM powered up
[01:36] <functionofxy> bazhang, i need to undo an iptables rule
[01:37] <functionofxy> bazhang, the first one. i dont know iptables
[01:37] <evil_tech> cipherZen: that is what i thought as well
[01:37] <Excessi0n> Eanda-sbs: you dont have a raid 5 was the one.

[01:37] <evil_tech> but i have no swap and suspend doesnt work and it is supposed to with out tweaking in the mini 9
[01:37] <bruce89> Ububegin: tch
[01:38] <bazhang> functionofxy, you are doing this manually or with a front end (ie firestarter, etc)
[01:38] <functionofxy> manually. according to the link you sent me. the first option on that page
[01:38] <cipherZen> Ubuegin: then you should be fine without swap :P. It usually doesn't hurt to leave a couple GB to it though, unless youre on an SSD and don't want the extra writes
[01:39] <DaSkreech> Hallo anyone know how to deal with a murdered network card?

[01:39] <DaSkreech> I did an update and my Network card now cannot be assigned an IP address
[01:39] <bruce89> !warez | hax-
[01:39] <crow_> Perhaps a good idea for swap would be to use an external USB flash for it?
[01:40] <DaSkreech> which makes it kinda useless

[01:41] <DaSkreech> By all accounts it looks like it's working except that it cannot get an IP address

[01:42] <DaSkreech> !pulseaudio
[01:42] <Excessi0n> Anyone here know how to get them to a new adventure.
[01:42] <DaSkreech> Hmm ok
[01:42] <jimisrvrox> DaSkreech I would appreciate some help once you are finished with the guest person..I am also dealing with wireless PCI issues..thank you
[01:42] <cipherZen> like they have to restart it periodically to get it to work
[01:42] <cipherZen> its not a huge deal for me, but it is mildly annoying
[01:42] <Excessi0n> Guest9497: it's already there, look for the help.
[01:42] <DaSkreech> jimisrvrox: I'm not dealing with any guestperson
[01:42] <jimisrvrox> DaSkreech I thought you were but I guess I was wrong
[01:42] <cipherZen> ive looked a little on the forums, but i have yet to find a good fix
[01:43] <cipherZen> my friend said he just removed all of it and went back to alsa, and that worked
[01:43] <DaSkreech> That works too I suppose

[01:47] <bruce89> zamba: that's not a crontab entry
[01:48] <Excessi0n> bruce89, That's how i could but i am not privilaged to mount the volume.

[01:48] <axscod2> need help... i have problem with nautilus.. can someone help me diagnose.. ?
[01:48] <evil_tech> hmm according to the ubuntu swap faq i dont need it to suspend. so something else is broken. i have tried disabling networking before suspending but it still fails
[01:48] <zamba> bruce89: i of course have "30 0 * * *" first
[01:48] <cipherZen> sounds like you missed a quote somewhere zamba....odd though, doesn't look like you did
[01:48] <zamba> cipherZen: exactly :)
[01:48] <zamba> cipherZen: and i can copy the same command and run it in my shell with no problems
[01:48] <Excessi0n> Nearly always, grub finds all installed already that is exactly the same performance, you dhould make use of extended partition that is exactly the same file at the remote process list, does it say which is the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk or envyng-qt) we suggest you use them at your own cgi stuff by hand, including the web page.
[01:48] <crow_> nautilus?

[01:49] <bruce89> eh?
[01:50] <cipherZen> zamba: that is very strange....is there any way that cron thinks that you're escaping one of the quotes for some reason?

[01:53] <cipherZen> someone suggested that long commands sometimes only work in shell scripts? dont really understand why, but its worth trying
[01:53] <zamba> cipherZen: got it

[02:00] <banished> evil_tech: which hardware / GPU drivers are you using?
[02:00] <cipherZen> Brando753: You'll still want some kind of authentication though, cause IPs and MACs can both be spoofed

[02:03] <bruce89> keres: that was one of the main points AFAIK
[02:03] <Excessi0n> Sounds like you have to do with it?
[02:03] <axscod2> oh.. my.. i disable loosebinding..
[02:03] <noodlesgc> tylian, If I remember correctly, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[02:03] <axscod2> and its working now
[02:03] <Excessi0n> bazhang: Hi, i don't know what they're talking about software wise. Sudo cpufreq-selector should be under your /var/log folder ... The 0 refers to the last n lines of a gnome dbus viewer?
[02:03] <Tylian> Thanks. I'll try that.
[02:03] <banished> Tylian: there should be something like glib-dev, use synaptic

[02:08] <keres> bruce89: ok but now the secondary program that makes sound is like distorted and stuff
[02:09] <jimisrvrox> DaSkreech ok but the thing of it is is that I have to plug in the usb nic to get both of them to show up and to me thats really weird esp when the sys sees the PCI but doesnt recognize it in the applet.
[02:09] <sebsebseb>  
[02:10] <keres> hello, i installed pulse audio so i could have multiple programs emit sound. my first program plays sound good, but my second one is distorted and sounds like a bunch of random noise.
[02:10] <Trel> When using Synaptic, is there any way to see what repo a package is from?
[02:10] <Tylian> sudo apt-get install build-essential didn't work. Well it worked but ./configure still says glib is missing.
[02:10] <DaSkreech> jimisrvrox: Maybe not initalized?
[02:10] <evil_tech> anybody here with suspend working on the dell mini 9
[02:11] <DaSkreech> Tylian: install glib dev packages
[02:11] <crdlb> Tylian: build-essential is only the core build tools
[02:11] <banished> evil_tech: do you mean it doesn't wake up?
[02:11] <Tylian> Any more in depth instructions? (Complete noob XD)
[02:11] <DaSkreech> !find glib
[02:11] <crdlb> Tylian: since xchat is in the repos, you can use 'sudo apt-get build-dep xchat' to install everything needed to build xchat
[02:12] <Tylian> crdlb: I'll try that.
[02:12] <evil_tech> banished: i am thinking so. i tell it to suspend the screen flashes off and then on to a blinking cursor and that is it. have to do a hard reboot to get it back up
[02:13] <jimisrvrox> DaSkreech im not sure and I dont understand what you mean by initialized but when I do iwconfig wlan1 up I get the SIOCSIFFLAGS: no such file crap
[02:13] <DaSkreech> maybe not defined in /etc/network/interfaces
[02:14] <banished> evil_tech: that's strange, http://www.ubuntumini.com/2008/10/ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex-on-dell-mini-9.html sais "Suspend works incredibly well. I suspended my computer over and over without a problem."

[02:28] <jimisrvrox> xiven becuase thats what I was getting and I battled that crap for a week and unfortuantely nobody attempted to help me
[02:28] <cipherZen> Nasra: why do you want to do that?
[02:28] <kernel09l> how to create repository in desktop for my testing workserver but desktop connects via wireless and two computer via wired lan
[02:29] <cipherZen> its generally recommended against
[02:29] <jimisrvrox> xiven yup I got that too and that would be probably because you had other drivers installed and so then you installed the nic drivers on top of that
[02:29] <xiven> should I add my driver name after the -m?
[02:29] <skinnymg1> the screen resolution is not right and doesnt give me the choice for the right one either
[02:29] <lba> banished   And grub runs normally.
[02:29] <Nasra> cipherZen:  I am about to run an application and is asking to run it as root first
[02:29] <xiven> Should only be one driver installed through ndis
[02:29] <BlackAeronaut> r00tintheb0x: You alive in here?
[02:29] <banished> lba: use the nosplash option in grub to see the log output

[02:30] <cipherZen> Nasra: just run "sudo asterisk"
[02:30] <lba> banished, Can I set that as it's booting?
[02:30] <xiven> Couldn't I just uninstall the driver and reinstall it, and continue from there?
[02:30] <cipherZen> without the quotes, obviously
[02:30] <Nasra> cipherZen: are you familiar with asterisk?
[02:30] <banished> lba: you can add it to the kernel boot line
[02:30] <banished> in grub

[02:30] <jimisrvrox> xiven the other thing that I noticed about that crap is that on startup I would get to starting bluetooth and it would just hang like hell..so I had to go into recovery mode and do x fix and it would boot back normal again
[02:31] <cj_sze1> samual: :)
[02:31] <Nasra> hey sebsebseb: hello....
[02:31] <cipherZen> Nasra: I only have cursory knowledge of it. But sudo is how you run anything as root in Ubuuntu
[02:31] <lba> banished, I will try.  Thanks.
[02:31] <jimisrvrox> xiven sure you could if you know how becuase you have to get it out of the modprobe because you already had a diff set of drivers in modprobe
[02:31] <mrkleene> is there a wine channel?

[02:33] <wrektkjet> hey. how do i disable ubuntu from constantly asking for my password
[02:33] <xiven> Not sure how that works with DSL..but yeah
[02:33] <sebsebseb> _VIM_: heh yeah
 hey. how do i disable ubuntu from constantly asking for my password  <-- why would you want to do that.
[02:33] <wdkjsc> made
[02:33] <jimisrvrox> xiven OH SHIT dude...that REALLY sucks...atleast I have a v1 here usb nic...but I was PISSSSED when I got the bait and switch deal from walmart...thought I was gonna get a rev1 but hell no
[02:33] <banished> BlackAeronaut: what do you mean by 'more than one video driver required'?
[02:34] <wrektkjet> im the only user and it keeps asking and im setting it up for the first time its botheersome
[02:34] <LjL> !language | jimisrvrox
[02:34] <jimisrvrox> sorry if I offended you LjL...
[02:34] <wrektkjet> i should just change the password maybe to something simpler
[02:34] <sebsebseb> _VIM_: don't get 9.04 alpha 6!
[02:34] <xiven> Well hell
[02:34] <_VIM_> i dont plan on it
[02:34] <zhurai-tsuki> ..so? I'm the only user, doesn't stop me from putting passes
[02:34] <xiven> AS for as I can tell, lsmod doesn't list ANY wireless driver as installed
[02:34] <jimisrvrox> xiven thats exactly what im saying too man
[02:35] <wrektkjet> zhurai-tsuki: so is tehre a way
[02:35] <xiven> PPPoe is a dial-up type thing as far as I know..even though you cannot connect a phone line to my routers...
[02:35] <BlackAeronaut> banished: Itś got an HDMI output, so it uses a seperate video driver.  Main LCD output is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 series driver while the HDMI out is the 3200 series driver.
[02:35] <sebsebseb> _VIM_: yay much better :)
[02:35] <banished> BlackAeronaut: it has two different GPUs?
[02:35] <zhurai-tsuki> wrektkjet: not sure
[02:35] <jimisrvrox> xiven well I dont know if id worry about the protocol as much as I would just getting the da** driver and crap to work
[02:35] <sebsebseb> _VIM_: now that is a useful command to note down I think
[02:36] <_VIM_> sebsebseb: i didnt get 8.10 till last month! (it was really buggy for me, no sound, no nvidia) so i waited till all the patches worked out, now i only have sound issues) heh
[02:36] <scompt> anybody have any ideas as to why Firefox would be coming up with a completely blank screen on startup?
[02:36] <MiladKhajavi> how can I set subnet in ubuntu from command line?
[02:36] <wrektkjet> k
[02:36] <scompt> it doesn't happen if I run it using a guest session
[02:36] <Boricua> anyone knows why when i try to run a opengl program with eclipse (c++) it give me launch failed. Binary not found.
[02:36] <DaSkreech> MiladKhajavi: Hmm ?
[02:36] <wrektkjet> where do u change the password?
[02:36] <DaSkreech> your netmask?
[02:36] <BlackAeronaut> banished: Iḿ not certain how they did it.  I think itś a virtual set-up.  The GPU itself is an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 X2 Hybrid.
[02:36] <scompt> but it still does it after deleting my firefox profile
[02:36] <banished> MiladKhajavi: man ifconfig
[02:36] <Boricua> i installed the library and did everything fine
[02:36] <Tylian> What's the default root passwd on ubuntu?
[02:37] <_VIM_> !root
[02:37] <sebsebseb> _VIM_: ok this looks good now,  except the new default system colour.   I  still wonder about my buggered up KDE4,  but this is  9.04 now, so that would be off topic here LOL
[02:37] <banished> BlackAeronaut: so it's Crossfire?
[02:37] <MiladKhajavi> banished: thanks
[02:37] <Tylian> Yay.
[02:37] <sebsebseb> _VIM_: oh well I don't like KDE4 anyway, and my KDE apps still work in Gnome :)
[02:37] <jimisrvrox> xiven do you see my pm?
[02:38] <_VIM_> sebsebseb: well you play with fire, (jaunty alpha) so you gonna get burned eventually :P
[02:38] <banished> BlackAeronaut: do you have installed the fglrx?
[02:38] <bruce89> sebsebseb: assuming the PPA has been disabled, aptitude would class them as locally created packages
[02:38] <sebsebseb> _VIM_: yeah most of us have, we can't  ctrl alt backspace to log out
[02:38] <BlackAeronaut> banished: maybe, but I wouldn't count on it.  I just bough the system recenty, brand-new, and itś been giving me headaches with getting anything to do with the GPU working right.  I only recently got it working under Windows XP Pro when I found a site that has an executable that mods the drivers for you.  Thank you Microshaft, for your propriety driver BS.
[02:39] <veritos> What's the difference between `apt-get install ubuntu-desktop` and `tasksel install ubuntu-desktop`?
[02:39] <_VIM_> sebsebseb: yeah i heard about that, is there a work around besides maybe /etc/init.d/?dm restart?
[02:39] <banished> BlackAeronaut: well, what is lspci telling you?
[02:39] <sebsebseb> bruce89: the ppa would still be enabled I guess, unless the upgrade sorted it out
[02:39] <BlackAeronaut> banished: I've been trying to get the proper drivers into place - part of the problem.  The new box won have internet until I can get it to boot properly.
[02:39] <banished> BlackAeronaut: you can use vesa
[02:40] <bruce89> sebsebseb: AFAIK the upgrader disables all 3rd party sources
[02:40] <BlackAeronaut> banished: whatś the command line for that?  And I already tried Vesa - itś a no go.
[02:40] <eseven3> anyone get 3ds max working in SUNS vbox 2.1.4? and NO It's not really !OT | eseven73 because the host is Ubuntu 8.10, ive tried enabling the openGL support but it gives error
[02:40] <Tylian> Stupid Question: How do I give a text editor permission to save in a folder other than home?
[02:41] <scompt> anybody have any ideas as to why Firefox would be coming up with a completely blank screen on startup?
[02:41] <cipherZen> Tylian: depends on the permissions of the folder. Which one do you want to save to?
[02:41] <Tylian> Lampp lol: /opt/lampp/htdocs
[02:41] <_VIM_> Tylian: gksudo gedit /home/tylian/file
[02:41] <banished> BlackAeronaut: boot to command line (add a 3 for runlevel 3 in the grub boot line) than log in on the textmode terminal, edit your xorg.conf (sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf) and set Driver "vesa" in Section "Device"
[02:41] <[dragon]Rendrek> scompt: set your startup page to about:blank :P
[02:42] <cipherZen> Tylian: what _VIM_ said
[02:42] <BlackAeronaut> banished: already there.  Terminal is all it will boot me into.  :(
[02:42] <_VIM_> scompt: have you tried running firefox in a terminal by 'firefox --ProfileManager'  no quotes
[02:42] <Tylian> That works
[02:42] <Tomasso> is there any graphical partitioner? if it comes by default the better
[02:42] <banished> Tomasso: gparted
[02:43] <thiebaude> !gparted
[02:43] <scompt> _VIM_: yup, the profile manager doesn't come up, but rather the same blank main screen, with no menus, no toolbars, nothing
[02:43] <Tomasso> banished: le me check
[02:43] <_VIM_> scompt: hmmm how did you install firefox?
[02:43] <scompt> _VIM_: synaptic
[02:43] <veritos> Tomasso: The main Ubuntu LiveCD also comes with GParted in System->Administration
[02:43] <Droopsta915> if I change my firefox theme to a theme made for an older version of Firefox, will it still work fine?
[02:43] <veritos> Droopsta915: It won't let you install it if it won't work.
[02:44] <BlackAeronaut> banished: there is no driver entry for section "Device".  Make one?
[02:44] <Droopsta915> thanks
[02:44] <_VIM_> scompt: ah should work then, do you get any errors when you run it from terminal?
[02:44] <banished> BlackAeronaut: yes
[02:44] <wrektkjet> does it make sense that i cant delete a file in the bin that i created?
[02:44] <scompt> _VIM_: not a thing
[02:44] <wrektkjet> "permission denied"
[02:45] <BlackAeronaut> Okay.  Saved and exited to terminal.
[02:45] <scompt> I've tried completely uninstalling it and reinstalling to no avail
[02:45] <BlackAeronaut> Startx now?
[02:45] <sebsebseb> bruce89: I guess if I leave KDE4 as is,  when 9.04 is released on the final,   it will upgrade those packages to proper versions, and then no problems?
[02:45] <joshua_> how does aptitude work better than apt for removing packages? (ive always heard it does that better)
[02:45] <Tomasso> another thing, does anyone know of the Remote Desktop log file ? there seemed to be an unauthorized access here :S
[02:46] <bruce89> sebsebseb: only if the jaunty packages have newer version numbers
[02:46] <sebsebseb> bruce89: well  can remove all kde stuff and re install
[02:46] <Tylian> What's the difference between sudo and gksudo? Stupid questions ftw~
[02:46] <Boricua> anyone know why when i try to run a c++ open gl program with eclipse it say. launch failed, binary not found?
[02:46] <banished> BlackAeronaut: yes, or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[02:46] <_VIM_> !gksudo
[02:46] <Tylian> Thank you.
[02:46] <bruce89> sebsebseb: look in aptitude
[02:46] <MarcWeber> I'm interested in the ubuntu gdb patches to support pie (position independent code)
[02:47] <Lint01> why repositories never get updated?
[02:47] <MarcWeber> How can I find them?
[02:47] <Tylian> I think I'll stop askin stupid questions now.
[02:47] <Tylian> :)
[02:47] <xiven> Isn't ndiswrapper supposed to add a driver to modprobe for you??
[02:47] <bruce89> MarcWeber: http://patches.ubuntu.com/g/gdb/extracted/
[02:47] <Haymaker> easy question:  what is the key combo to run a single command, like super+R in windows?  sorry for having to come in here LOL
[02:47] <doleyb> Haymaker: try alt-f2
[02:47] <Haymaker> thank you
[02:48] <BlackAeronaut> Well, startx is a no go as usual. Got an (EE) No devices detected as well as an errno 111 and an errno 3.
[02:48] <banished> BlackAeronaut: you have such a Hybrid GPU setup, there is indeed an embedded HD3200 and a better HD3470 - so you can switch between them to either save power or get highter graphics performance - this, however is not (yet?) supported by Linux/X
[02:48] <MarcWeber> bruce89 Thanks you!
[02:48] <banished> BlackAeronaut: you might get one of these gpus working by some Xorg voodoo
[02:48] <grendal_prime> i got a system where the root   / is running at 99%
[02:49] <veritos> What's the difference between `apt-get install ubuntu-desktop` and `tasksel install ubuntu-desktop`?
[02:49] <BlackAeronaut> banished: thatś the impression Iǘe been getting.
[02:49] <grendal_prime> there is really no way to remedy that withouth actually just rebuilding the machien right?
[02:49] <bruce89> veritos: nowadays, nothing
[02:50] <veritos> bruce89: Out of curiosity, what *did* differ?
[02:50] <xiven> Who in here uses the Xubuntu Desktop?
[02:50] <MarcWeber> bruce89 It's against gdb-6.8pre. Could you also point me to that source file then?
[02:50] <xiven> I've never figured out how to restore windows after minimizing, like they just disappear
[02:50] <bruce89> veritos: tasksel hasn't always used aptitude as its backend
[02:50] <BlackAeronaut> I've been looking at packages that have support for the 3470 side.  I already downloaded them and copied them over into the package archives for apt-get (forgot the exact directory for that).  However, Iḿ having a bit of trouble getting the lines for them right in source.list.
[02:51] <eseven3> does 3ds max work well in Vmware or Vbox for anyone? Running ubuntu 8.10 + Sun's vbox + win xp guest
[02:51] <banished> BlackAeronaut: It's this one https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/330420 one of the devs suggested trying Jaunty
[02:51] <veritos> bruce89: I see. Thank you.
[02:51] <rob__> hey guys
[02:51] <bruce89> MarcWeber: http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gdb/
[02:51] <rob__> does the recent gnome update affect ibex users?
[02:51] <bruce89> rob__: no
[02:51] <banished> BlackAeronaut: have you tried the fglrx driver yet?
[02:51] <jimisrvrox> they dont show up in the taskbar because they should ive got xubuntu right now
[02:52] <rob__> thanks bruce - does it just mean that it can be included in the next ubuntu releasE?
[02:52] <jimisrvrox> unless youre using a diff window manager than xfce
[02:52] <bruce89> rob__: it is already
[02:52] <rob__> thanks!
[02:52] <thiebaude> rob__: a new gnome is released every 6 months
[02:52] <bruce89> !gnome
[02:53] <Keal_> i just installed 'jack' and it was an unrelated program :<
[02:53] <bruce89> well, that was useful
[02:53] <thiebaude> http://www.gnome.org/
[02:53] <deww> samual: please don't spam
[02:53] <raymond> what happens if i eject the drive /home is on? will ubuntu just make a new directory for it like windows does if the drive My Documents points to dies?
[02:54] <BlackAeronaut> banished: if I could find the package, I'll download fglrx and stick it on my machine.
[02:54] <banished> BlackAeronaut: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.5&lang=English 9.3 should be out within a few day, however, I highly doubt that it'll fix the problem, that's a bit more complicated I think
[02:54] <banished> the ubuntu package is a bit old in this case
[02:54] <rcm431> hi
[02:54] <rob__> hey how do i supress all of the notifications in here?
[02:54] <banished> rob__: depends on your client
[02:55] <rob__> irssi
[02:55] <Keal_> i just installed 'jack' and it was an unrelated program :<
[02:55] <rob__> checking man now..
[02:55] <BlackAeronaut> banished: well, whatever option I have to purse in getting a driver onto the bad box, it has to be done manually and it has to be done locally (no internet on the bad box).
[02:55] <alvaro> http://190.39.42.159 can somebody click this link and tell me what do you see in there?
[02:55] <_VIM_> rob__: i believe it's something like /ignore #ubuntu JOINS -PARTS -QUITS
[02:55] <_VIM_> oops -JOINS
[02:56] <hachaboob> Where does apt store its package info. I have a VM and I what to take a snapshot of the current package list and install packages?
[02:56] <becky_> could  anyone help me understand how to run a program i have downloaded (new to unbuntu)
[02:56] <tonsofpcs> becky_: how did you download it?
[02:56] <thiebaude> alvaro: it tries to load a blank page
[02:57] <LjL> deww: could you mind my PM please?
[02:57] <deww> oh
[02:57] <n-T-m> is there a possibility to get my mutlimedia-keys on my Keyboard (Play, Stop, Next, Prev) to work in Amarok... In Rythmbox they work perfectly, but in amarok they dont work (maybe because its a KDE app?)
[02:57] <banished> BlackAeronaut: no internet is bad - don't you have some ethernat cable connection? well, you can put the fglrx driver on a usb drive and put it on the box
[02:57] <LjL> becky_: most programs you don't "download", you get from the official repositories using automatic software
[02:57] <LjL> !software > becky_    (becky_, see the private message from ubottu)
[02:57] <alvaro> thiebaude: do you see an index page in there?
[02:58] <thiebaude> alvaro: no, its just blank, but opera tries to download the page and it cant
[02:58] <thiebaude> i'll try again, alvaro
[02:58] <BlackAeronaut> banished: pretty much what I've been trying to do
[02:58] <BlackAeronaut> banished: this what I need?  http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/fglrx-amdcccle
[02:58] <LjL> cj_sze1: what did samual say that you replied with a smiley?
[02:58] <banished> BlackAeronaut: old ;-)
[02:59] <ruben23>  hi how do i connect my linux distro desktop on a windows workgroup
[02:59] <BlackAeronaut> Hrm.  *Goes to start digging in the packages*
[02:59] <thiebaude> alvaro: the same results
[02:59] <alvaro> thiebaude: well is not working thank you
[02:59] <thiebaude> your welcome, alvaro
[03:00] <duxbarak> if i throw my (up-to-date) /var/cache/apt folder into another (non-updated) installation's /var/cache/apt folder, and then 'sudo apt-get upgrade', will that mess anything up/work how i think?
[03:00] <tonsofpcs> anyone know of a fast network file sharing system [i want to run a program with a lot of data that performs many read/writes across a network] that can use either a piece of an existing fs or a flat file?  linux host, windows client
[03:00] <cj_sze1> LjL why ?
[03:00] <Quickflip> hey guys. I salvaged an older comp. Its 1.5 with now 700 megs of ram and a 256 meg ati gfx card. Thing is ... it runs soooo sluggish ! What can I do? Why do you think my system is laggy ?
[03:00] <BlackAeronaut> banished: what about this one? http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/xorg-driver-fglrx
[03:01] <doleyb> Quickflip: don't run gnome, try xfce instead
[03:01] <LjL> cj_sze1: PM
[03:01] <evil_tech> Quickflip: make sure your hard drive isnt going bad
[03:01] <Quickflip> Thats what I though. Even KDE runs better then gnome on this
[03:01] <hachaboob> Anyone know where APT store is package cache?
[03:01] <duxbarak> Quickflip: it might be that it has an IDE hard drive and you're now used to SATA 3
[03:01] <Quickflip> k
[03:01] <banished> BlackAeronaut: yes, but this is the driver of last November, I doubt that the current driver supports your configuration, I even more doubt this old one does
[03:01] <_VIM_> Quickflip: yeah, what doleyb said or try disabling effects
[03:02] <Quickflip> k
[03:02] <BlackAeronaut> banished, lemme try something...
[03:02] <rob__> :q
[03:02] <wrektkjet> hey im using wine to run utorrent client.. how do i actually get the torrent file into the program?
[03:02] <cj_sze1> yeah i see youre PM
[03:03] <Scunizi> I'm confused.. Terminal Server Client can use RDP/RDPv5 and vnc... Vinagre uses VNC .. I can use Terminal Server Client to connect remotely to Vbox over the LAN but can't with Vinagre.. anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
[03:03] <BlackAeronaut> banished: How about this: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd-dbg
[03:03] <skinnymg1> ok can i please get some help on configuring xorg to get my monitor working right
[03:03] <cj_sze1> LjL have you seen my PM to ?
[03:03] <skinnymg1> please?
[03:03] <cj_sze1> i PM you LjL
[03:03] <LjL> cj_sze1: yes, i replied
[03:03] <duxbarak> if i throw my (up-to-date) /var/cache/apt folder into another (non-updated) installation's /var/cache/apt folder, and then 'sudo apt-get upgrade', will that mess anything up/work how i think? anybody?
[03:03] <banished> BlackAeronaut: that's one of the two OpenSource drivers, they are basically work in progress
[03:04] <tranceenergyUSA> seen djtiesto
[03:04] <BlackAeronaut> banished: Better than nothing, I figure.
[03:04] <tranceenergyUSA> seen marcov
[03:04] <tranceenergyUSA> seen djphynn
[03:04] <hachaboob> duxbarak: I tried that as an experiment without doing the update and it didn't have any effect
[03:04] <_VIM_> tranceenergyUSA: what are you doing?
[03:05] <tranceenergyUSA> to go to paul van dyk gig or not to go, that is the question
[03:05] <bazhang> tranceenergyUSA, hi
[03:05] <_VIM_> !ot | tranceenergyUSA
[03:05] <tranceenergyUSA> hi
[03:05] <bazhang> tranceenergyUSA, bot?
[03:05] <banished> BlackAeronaut: yes, well, I think you have best chances by using the latest official ati driver, but you can try all 3 (fglrx, the proprietary one, ati, the first OpenSource Driver, radeonHD, another opensource driver)
[03:05] <tranceenergyUSA> bot not
[03:05] <tranceenergyUSA> human y
[03:05] <bazhang> tranceenergyUSA, what are you
[03:06] <thiebaude> tranceenergyUSA: did you have an ubuntu question
[03:06] <BlackAeronaut> banished: how can I tell which is the newest one?
[03:06] <tranceenergyUSA> yes
[03:06] <bazhang> tranceenergyUSA, then ask, and stop the offtopic chat
[03:06] <tranceenergyUSA> seeking professional help to make an informed decision
[03:06]  * bruce89bot notices that all the fuss about the botness of tranceenergyUSA has actually added more lines than just ignoring it
[03:06] <cj_sze1> :)
[03:06] <_VIM_> thats a talker bot
[03:07] <bazhang> tranceenergyUSA, #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[03:07] <aleron6> no thats a freggin nigger bot
[03:07] <banished> BlackAeronaut: they all got new versions ;-) The latest ones you'll get in the Alpha of Jaunty, the latest fglrx you can get from the website (ati.amd.com) installation works quiet smoothly, but I don't know if it can handle this kind of setup - but it's worth trying
[03:08] <LjL> !language | aleron6
[03:08] <second_thought> hi
[03:08] <aleron6> how bout your watch yours im not a child
[03:08] <StaticShock> what file manager do you guys use? i'm really not a fan of nautilus
[03:08] <BlackAeronaut> banished: I looked for the stand-alone package on the website.  All they seem to have is the GUI driven installer.
[03:08] <Keal_> how do i install this? http://jackaudio.org/
[03:08] <second_thought> So I was wondering if anyone has some experience with cloning/backing up a fresh windows install?
[03:09] <StaticShock> second_thought: ghost?
[03:09] <imachine> hi
[03:09] <kushalone> !off-topic Hi does anyone know if Nokia 3250 (2G Network GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900  ) will work in Japan? Which carrier? thanks (sorry for off-topic question but I am kind of desperate and I know people from around the world are here)
[03:09] <funkyHat> StaticShock: what don't you like about nautilus, you might be able to change the config so you like it more?
[03:09] <second_thought> you mean like norton "ghost"?
[03:09] <LjL> !offtopic | kushalone
[03:09] <second_thought> I was thinking that I could possibly use DD
[03:09] <funkyHat> StaticShock: (that might not be a helpful answer, but I use Nautilus so can't really advise on any alternatives)
[03:10] <kushalone> LjL thanks for not kicking me
[03:10] <StaticShock> funkyHat: i want list-view to wrap so that it scrolls sideways
[03:10] <second_thought> I'm just afraid that a might do something stupid
[03:10] <StaticShock> funkyHat: and i want tab support
[03:10] <banished> BlackAeronaut: afaik the installation process will use a textmode interface if there is no x server
[03:10] <imachine> hi
[03:10] <imachine> I have some issue where fonts with openoffice look nasty
[03:10] <imachine> they're bigger than other fonts.
[03:10] <funkyHat> StaticShock: nautilus has tab support, not sure about sideways list view though
[03:10] <imachine> (I mean the application fonts)
[03:10] <Yairi> Hi everyone, I am having serious problems in the last 24 hours with installing ubuntu 8.1. I am trying to install in with Raid and with vista.
[03:10] <imachine> what can I do ?
[03:10] <_VIM_> second_thought: I think there's a few free alternatives to Ghost, I think one's called partimage the other is clonezilla
[03:10] <banished> BlackAeronaut: there is a Thinkpad with hybrid graphics, too, maybe http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Install_Ubuntu_8.10_(Intrepid_Ibex)_on_a_Thinkpad_T400 can halp you a bit
[03:10] <FloodBot3> imachine: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:10] <StaticShock> funkyHat: any idea what i can use that has those features?
[03:11] <second_thought> Oh right! Thanks vim :)
[03:11] <_VIM_> yep
[03:11] <Keal_> http://jackaudio.org/
[03:11] <second_thought> I'll try those out
[03:11] <Keal_> how do i install that?
[03:11] <second_thought> I know that the clonezilla iso is only like 30 megs
[03:11] <Yairi> Is there anyone who can guide me on installing ubuntu on raid?
[03:11] <BlackAeronaut> banished: not sure.  Toshiba+Microshaft=Extreme propritietary wankery.  I had to use a software hack to get drivers to work under Windows XP.
[03:11] <cj_sze1> how can i  read more than 4 gig of RAM in  ubuntu server 8.10?
[03:11] <evil_tech> _VIM_: there is PING
[03:11] <bruce89bot> !ohmy | BlackAeronaut
[03:12] <_VIM_> there's also FOG
[03:12] <_VIM_> But ive never tried Fog
[03:12] <imachine> cj_sze1, 64bit
[03:12] <second_thought> I'm sorry, FOG?
[03:12] <_VIM_> it's like clonezilla, so ive heard
[03:12] <BlackAeronaut> ....  That is quite possibly the most sensitive chat bot I have ever seen.
[03:12] <second_thought> oh
[03:12] <funkyHat> StaticShock: Actually you could make your icons really small and make the text display to the side, don't know if that's quite what you want though, and I think it would still scroll vertically. No, no idea sorry!
[03:12] <bruce89bot> oops
[03:12] <cj_sze1> imachine: i need a 64 bit proccesor??
[03:13] <StaticShock> funkyHat: it still scrolls vertically
[03:13] <Belboz99> Hey all, trying to use the 64-bit Java Plugin downloaded from Sun, but in the plugins directory there is only a folder called "desktop" with a PNG and one other file, no plugins at all, any ideas?
[03:13] <StaticShock> funkyHat: it's terribly wasteful of space. i want text to the side, and multiple columns
[03:13] <second_thought> I think clonezilla is my best bet
[03:13] <BlackAeronaut> banished: so how do I execute an install using the package in terminal?
[03:13] <second_thought> Thanks guys
[03:13] <funkyHat> second_thought: have a look at clonezilla.org
[03:13] <StaticShock> funkyHat: it's a basic windows layout
[03:13] <second_thought> yeah I'm headed right over there
[03:13] <bruce89> BlackAeronaut: I'm not actually a bot, it was part of an unfunny joke
[03:13] <Yairi>  Hi everybody. I need serious help. Do any of you know how can I install a dual-boot system with Vista and Linux on a RAID array?
[03:14] <KFP> Keal_: Hmm isn't it included by default?
[03:14] <banished> BlackAeronaut: the .run one? just sudo chmod a+x *.run && ./ati-...run - or a .deb one? sudo dpkg -i *-deb
[03:14] <b4b3> please help me.. i can't install pidgin on my ubuntu
[03:14] <Keal_> KFP,  :<
[03:14] <banished> *.deb
[03:14] <KFP> Keal_: Which Ubuntu?
[03:14] <bruce89> b4b3: sudo aptitude install pidgin
[03:14] <Keal_> ubuntu 8.10 amd64 :<
[03:15] <BlackAeronaut> banished: let me give it a try...
[03:15] <imachine> cj_sze1, ubuntu 64bit and yes, a 64bit cpu.
[03:15] <imachine> system overall.
[03:15] <funkyHat> StaticShock: yes I figured you probably liked that layout because you're used to it from Windows. actually try thunar
[03:15] <imachine> I think you can get it to see more than 4GB with 32bit with some hackish way, but a single process won't be able to address more than 2GB, or something along those lines.
[03:15] <imachine> cj_sze1, anyway, 64bit is pretty much standard these days isn't it?
[03:15] <Belboz99> -:/usr/java/jre1.6.0_12/plugin$ ls -l ... desktop ...  ls -l desktop ... sun_java.desktop  sun_java.png
[03:16] <StaticShock> ok
[03:16] <skinnymg1> man i swear ubuntu's xorg is the worst of them all
[03:16] <bruce89> imachine: sort of
[03:16] <cj_sze1> imachine: yes... and most CPU are also 64 bit ready
[03:16] <Belboz99> that's what I'm getting, just a stupid png and shortcut in a desktop folder, no plugins in the "plugin" directory within the extracted jre directory created by the run file
[03:16] <bruce89> !pm | b4b3
[03:17] <cj_sze1> i both core 2 duo E7400  imachine
[03:17] <Yairi>  Hi everybody. I need serious help. Do any of you know how can I install a dual-boot system with Vista and Linux on a RAID array?
[03:17] <second_thought> exit
[03:17] <cj_sze1> and 4 G of ram imachine
[03:17] <Keal_> KFP,  ?
[03:17] <banished> Yairi: software raid or hardware raid?
[03:17] <Yairi> banished: hardware I think
[03:17] <Belboz99> is anyone reading my messages?
[03:18] <Belboz99> or is this ignore Belboz99 day?
[03:18] <bruce89> Belboz99: no
[03:18] <gralco> hi I've been learning C++ lately and have been looking for an acquaintance, if you want to learn with me please say so
[03:18] <skinnymg1> Belboz99, i feel the same way
[03:18] <bruce89> Belboz99: see icedtea6-plugin
[03:18] <Belboz99> thanks bruce89
[03:18] <KFP> Keal_: Eh, have you tried "sudo apt-get install jack"?
[03:19] <cj_sze1> btw imachine how can i find a 64 bit ubuntu server?
[03:19] <Keal_> i installed jack and it was an unrelated program :<
[03:19] <Keal_> KFP,  :<
[03:19] <imachine> cj_sze1, amd64
[03:19] <imachine> cj_sze1, x86_64
[03:19] <imachine> dunno
[03:19] <cj_sze1> ahh
[03:19] <imachine> just download it.
[03:19] <imachine> ;]
[03:19] <FloodBot3> imachine: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:20] <cj_sze1> ok thanks :)
[03:20] <bruce89> !amd64
[03:20] <imachine> np
[03:20] <cj_sze1> how about intel 64 bit? ubottu
[03:20] <bruce89> same thing
[03:20] <Belboz99> bruce89: someone really aught to notify Sun that their documentation and possibly their installer are FUBAR at this point for getting a plugin to install
[03:20] <lstarnes> cj_sze1: amd64 is essentially the same as 64-bit intel x86
[03:21] <bruce89> Belboz99: most of these "run files" are bad
[03:21] <bruce89> !ia64
[03:21] <imachine> cj_sze1, intel uses amd64/emt64
[03:21] <Yairi>  Hi everybody. I need serious help. Do any of you know how can I install a dual-boot system with Vista and Linux on a RAID array?
[03:21] <BlackAeronaut> banished: that command line doesn't seem to be working.  :(
[03:21] <Keal_> KFP,  the jack it installed is the wrong program :<
[03:21] <imachine> cj_sze1, unless you have the obscure ia64 setup. which, according to what you said earlier, you don't.
[03:22] <BlackAeronaut> banished: waituhminute!
[03:22] <n8tuser> Brando753-> wise usage of iptables?
[03:22] <cj_sze1> ahh ok
[03:22] <ia> hello. i'm trying to make mirror of ubuntu repo, but i've got error - http://paste.ubuntu.com/134040
[03:22] <b4b3> i can't install pidgin on my ubuntu
[03:22] <Ndshacker> I had a blog set up with LAMP, but I noticed my CPU runs at 100% constantly >.<
[03:22] <Belboz99> bruce, oddly enough it worked fine on my Jaunty laptop last week, may have been a different version though, eh who knows?
[03:22] <cj_sze1> thanks again for the info :)
[03:23] <imachine> np
[03:23] <BlackAeronaut> banished: false alarm.  Nothing's happening.  :(
[03:23] <lstarnes> b4b3: how are you trying to install it?
[03:23] <imachine> can someone tell me about openoffice tho?
[03:23] <imachine> I seem to have some font issues with it.
[03:23] <imachine> :/
[03:23] <Belboz99> Iced Tea appears to have worked though bruce89, thanks for helping me out
[03:23] <imachine> it looks like it uses qt or something.
[03:23] <bruce89> Belboz99: np
[03:23] <banished> BlackAeronaut: what have you done? (of caurse you have to replace ati-... by the real file name)
[03:23] <emma> imachine: there is an #openoffice.org channel
[03:23] <b4b3> sudo install aptitude pidgin
[03:23] <emma> imachine: but it's not very active.
[03:23] <lstarnes> b4b3: what error message do you get?
[03:23] <emma> b4b3: pidgin comes pre-installed on Ubuntu.
[03:24] <BlackAeronaut> banished: Oh is that what that was!  Forgive me for I am a nube.
[03:24] <imachine> emma, I don't think it's an openoffice-related issue.
[03:24] <imachine> emma, more like qt3/fontconfig.
[03:24] <imachine> emma, the application fonts (the ones in menus etc) on openoffice look different from the rest.
[03:25] <BlackAeronaut> banished: I entered this: sudo chmod a+x /media/usbdrive/ati-driver-installer-9.2-x86.x86_64.run && ./ati-...run -
[03:25] <banished> then sudo /media/usbdrive/ati-driver-installer-9.2-x86.x86_64.run is what you'd do next - sudo 'ends' after the && btw
[03:26] <aeinx1> evening. anyone know the command line entry to determine what kernel drivers are accessing a USB drive/port?
[03:26] <BlackAeronaut> banished: okay.
[03:27] <BlackAeronaut> banished: looks like itś working.  :)
[03:27] <tim__b> anyone familiar with dante-server? i want to setup a sockd open to all user (from any ip) who have a login to the host system. but i can't quite get it to work. each and every connection gets blocked (as the log states)
[03:28] <BlackAeronaut> banished: itś giving me the choice to just install the driver or generate a distro-specific package.
[03:28] <BlackAeronaut> Decisions, decisions...
[03:29] <BlackAeronaut> banished: will distro-specific require internet?
[03:29] <banished> BlackAeronaut: yes
[03:29] <banished> BlackAeronaut: you have to install build-essentials btw
[03:30] <banished> to build the driver
[03:30] <banished> don't you have a ethernet cable around? or some wireless network?
[03:31] <BlackAeronaut> banished: Wireless, yes.  But thereś an authorization page I have to get around first.
[03:31] <banished> BlackAeronaut: you can use wpa_supplicant
[03:31] <BlackAeronaut> banished: how do I do that?
[03:32] <banished> BlackAeronaut: enter your Acces point and your passwort in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
[03:32] <n8tuser> aeinx1-> lsof
[03:32] <banished> BlackAeronaut: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263136
[03:33] <banished> BlackAeronaut: just replace gedid by nano end you can do everything from the terminal ;-)
[03:33] <BlackAeronaut> banished: Not that kind of authorization.  It is an actual web page that pops-up before it allows any other traffic.  You have to click a button to authorize the connection.  I believe it prevents malicious use of zombie code for DOS attacks.
[03:34] <banished> BlackAeronaut: that's wired - maybe links can help you there (it's a textmode browser)
[03:34] <aeinx1> n8tuser: tks
[03:35] <BlackAeronaut> BTW: I went for option 2.  It said (basicly) that Iḿ using something based on Debian and then sends me right along to entering the path for installation.
[03:35] <akahige1> I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue with CIFS and fstab. can anyone explain the permissions numbering for file_ and dir_ mode?  I can't seem to find anything online...
[03:35] <banished> I think it will complain later as you don't have linux-headers and build-essential installed
[03:35] <BlackAeronaut> banished: So, since it looks like internet's a moot point now, what should I make the path?  /ATI/drivers ?
[03:36] <banished> it asks for a path oO
[03:36] <BlackAeronaut> banished: I kid thee not.
[03:37] <BlackAeronaut> banished: My guess: like in Windows, it doesn't really matter as long as it knows where it's going.  They keep with the Linux spirit of system customization here.
[03:37] <caeroe> would there be any other locations for xchat settings other than /home/[name]/.xchat2     i enabled background transparency and  i need it turned off, it crashes with it on
[03:39] <BlackAeronaut> banished: well, thanks very much for your help.  I hope that I can handle it from here.  If not, then Iĺl be back.  ^_^;;

[03:59] <theshadow> ok something weird has happened to two laptops. Both touch pads just stopped working
[04:00] <theshadow> at the same time
[04:00] <theshadow> The mouse is acting like something is sucking up resources
[04:01] <cedriczg> theshadow, did you try top command on a terminal?
[04:01] <theshadow> yea everything looks fifne
[04:01] <theshadow> fine
[04:01] <theshadow> everything else is responsive
[04:01] <theshadow> just not the mouse
[04:01] <FloodBot3> theshadow: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:02] <Excell> I had that happen...cant remember how I fixed it
[04:03] <EvilRick> is there an easy way for me to install the 2.6.18 kernel on my 8.04 install?
[04:03] <aprilhare> Excell: i ran fusion-icon resized the totem window it seems better now
[04:04] <aprilhare> bbl :)
[04:04] <Excell> theshadow:  have enough ram?
[04:04] <Excell> ok
[04:04] <theshadow> Excell: that can't be the issue. It just randomly happened on two laptops
[04:04] <Excell> wireless mice?
[04:04] <theshadow> two completely different laptops that were working fine 20 minutes ago
[04:04] <theshadow> touch pads
[04:04] <Excell> oh
[04:04] <theshadow> I tried to connect a mouse and it didn't change anything
[04:04] <Excell> wierd
[04:04] <ruben23>  hi how do i connect my linux distro desktop on a windows workgroup
[04:05] <cedriczg> theshadow, no mouse movement at all?
[04:05] <pturing> ruben23: active directory? or just a workgroup?
[04:05] <theshadow> cedriczg: sporatic barely responsive even more weird is that the laptop that first showed the symptoms is now working fine
[04:05] <theshadow> wait nvm
[04:05] <cedriczg> ruben23, I would also try to do that with my virtual-box. As far as I know you should have samba installed
[04:05] <theshadow> it was for a moment working
[04:06] <ruben23> workgroup
[04:06] <pturing> ruben23: have you seen this page? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba
[04:06] <ruben23> on my network i can see the workgroup of my windows network problem if i open cant see the workstations
[04:07] <pturing> ruben23: what if you put in the name of the workstation?
[04:08] <pturing> ruben23: for example in the Location: bar in my file manager
[04:08] <pturing> ruben23: I type             smb://servername
[04:08] <javes> hey guys, can anyone tell me how to install LimeWire PRO 5 in ubuntu 8.10 ultimate edition 2.0?
[04:08] <javes> hey guys, can anyone tell me how to install LimeWire PRO 5 in ubuntu 8.10 ultimate edition 2.0?
[04:08] <pturing> and it shows me the shared folders for the machine called servername
[04:08] <ruben23> pturing: ok ill test it now
[04:09] <jrib> javes: 1) this channel does not support ultimate edition 2) consider using frostwire instead (google) 3) please don't repeat
[04:09] <ruben23> pturing:if ill install samba...is it server or client..
[04:10] <javes> okies jrib...my apology
[04:11] <pturing> ruben23: it's kinda both
[04:11] <javes> thanks jrib...
[04:11] <pturing> ruben23: The samba libraries are used by the file manager and such when you browse other machine's shares
[04:11] <Gnea> javes: no, but if I wanted to know, I'd do a google search like this: limewire pro ubuntu ultimate
[04:11] <javes> jrib: what does this channel support?
[04:12] <pturing> ruben23: But I think when you run the server part that might help you browse the workgroup too
[04:12] <jrib> javes: ubuntu and official derivatives
[04:12] <pturing> ruben23: it's windows so it's weird ;)
[04:12] <aaron_> Pidgin crashes every time i send an IM over msn.  I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling and it doesnt help.  Any ideas?

[04:13] <sparky_> hey guys,  i can't seem to find the command format for mounting a shared network drive
[04:14] <theshadow> Ok.. I have no idea what happened but seemingly randomly (I know I didn't know anything). Both touch pads started working again.
[04:14] <aaron_> wirus: when i run pidgin from terminal, how long do i have to wait until i get error code back?  The window grays out and the only way to exit is by force closing it
[04:15] <virus> aaron_, just send an IM over msn and see if show any messages
[04:15] <javes> anyone: does ubuntu 8.10 needs an antivirus?
[04:16] <aaron_> wirus: i just got this msg when opening via terminal: "GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash.

[04:16] <aaron_> "
[04:16] <pturing> sparky_: what type of shared drive?
[04:16] <FloodBot3> aaron_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:16] <LogicFan> !virus
[04:16] <LogicFan> !virus | javes
[04:16] <sparky_> pturing, it is being shared via samba
[04:16] <virus> aaron_, looks like a problem with dbus..
[04:17] <sparky_> i know how to mount it just not the part for a network drive
[04:18] <pturing> sparky_: I usually put it in fstab first if I'm gonna use it for a while
[04:19] <jhass840> Does anyone know where I can get a complete list of features for 9.04?
[04:19] <pturing> sparky_: //server/share /mount_point	smbfs	password=	0 0

[04:21] <snarkster> evening
[04:21] <jhass840> virus: thanks
[04:21] <virus> jhass840, you're welcome
[04:21]  * g4lt-lappy turns off the stupid "numpad in the keyboard" "feature" of his laptop :(
[04:21] <pturing> sparky_: make sure you have smbfs installed.   Command should be    sudo mount -t smbfs //server/share /mount/point
[04:21] <sparky_> yea it is allready installed
[04:22] <snarkster> thought smbfs was switched for cifs
[04:23] <snarkster> or am i wrong
[04:23] <pturing> snarkster: command is working for me both ways
[04:23] <snarkster> ok cool
[04:23] <pturing> snarkster: -t cifs and -t smbfs seem to have the same result. Not sure if there are subtle differences or not
[04:23] <snarkster> so both cmds work awesome news
[04:24] <pturing> yah means people's fstab and scripts won't break yet :)
[04:24] <snarkster> yup
[04:24] <Counterspell> Can I run 64-bit code on my 32-bit Ubuntu (installed on a 64-bit system)?
[04:24] <n2diy> I'd like to make a DOS boot disk, and try and recover an OEM 80g hard drive, is this OT, or can we discuss it here?
[04:25] <pturing> Counterspell: basically no
[04:25] <virus> Counterspell, i guess you cant...
[04:25] <sebsebseb> Counterspell: can you run 32bit software on a 64bit OS yes
[04:25] <sebsebseb> Counterspell: can you run  32bit virtual machines inside a  64bit  host OS,  yes
[04:25] <wrektjet> hello am i on here with xchat?
[04:25] <wrektkjet> lol i guess so
[04:26] <n2diy> wrektjet: yes
[04:26] <pturing> some VM software will actually let you run a 64bit VM under a 32bit host. Which is crazy voodou as far as I can tell
[04:26] <g4lt-lappy> bah
[04:26] <sebsebseb> Counterspell: can  64bit  virtual machines run on 32bit virtual machine,  yes they can now with virtualbox  if the computer has hardware virtualization
[04:26] <virus> pturing, Virtualbox actually does
[04:26] <sebsebseb> Counterspell: I know you didn't ask me to say that stuff, but could be useful info anyway :d
[04:26] <g4lt-lappy> yup, you're here with xchat ;P
[04:26] <sebsebseb> Counterspell: and above it was meant to say 32bit host OS
[04:26] <pturing> yah, hard to remember which VMs support which features, hehe. especially with how fast some of them are moving :)
[04:27] <Counterspell> sebsebseb: I want to run a 64-bit MySQL binary distribution (compiled with Intel's compiler) on my 32-bit Ubuntu, is that possible?
[04:27] <virus> Counterspell, no, you can't
[04:27] <Counterspell> damn ok, thanks for the info guys
[04:27] <virus> Counterspell, you're welcome
[04:27] <pturing> Counterspell: yah, suggest you get 64bit Ubuntu. I am using it and it works well for me
[04:28] <g4lt-lappy> Counterspell, the short answer is you can use LESS bitspace all day, you can't use MORE than your OS
[04:28] <Counterspell> I didn't install 64-bit in fear of future complications, maybe problems with drivers and such
[04:29] <pturing> Counterspell: If you care about performance ( I am guessing you do if you are looking to use icc-compiled stuff) then you may want to look at this article http://gmplib.org/32vs64.html
[04:29] <virus> Counterspell, ubuntu 64 bits works great
[04:29] <pturing> Counterspell: One good thing about linux and open source is that switching drivers over to 64bit wasn't the big nightmare that it has been for that other OS
[04:30] <pturing> Counterspell: there were some minor bumps, but now I would be surprised if you ran into any driver problems in 64bit that you didn't for 32
[04:30] <javes> anyone: if i install Wine/Wine Doors and if i succeed installing windows programs in my ubuntu 8.10. is it possible to have a virus?
[04:31] <pturing> but unfortunately I don't think there is an easy way to switch over withotu re-installing :(
[04:31] <pturing> javes: hopefully some day wine will be close enough to perfect that we will have to worry about that :)
[04:32] <evil_tech> anyone with ubuntu 8.10 on a  mini 9 and an sd card with working suspend?
[04:32]  * g4lt-lappy envies evil_tech's working SD reader :(
[04:32] <javes> pturing: what does it mean? care to elaborate mate?
[04:33] <pturing> javes: http://www.linux.com/feature/42031
[04:33] <evil_tech> g4lt-lappy: no working sd reader on your lappy i take it?
[04:33] <g4lt-lappy> evil_tech, Toshiba portege m200 and no go :(
[04:34] <upgrdman> are there any basic hdd benchmarking software for linux?
[04:34] <javes> thanks mate.
[04:34] <g4lt-lappy> upgrdman, bonnie and its relatives
[04:34] <evil_tech> upgrdman: hdparm -t /dev/sd*
[04:34] <upgrdman> thanks
[04:35] <meshuggah> hola amigos
[04:35] <abe> hola
[04:35] <virus> meshuggah, hola..
[04:35] <meshuggah> wassup?
[04:35] <wrektjet> off topic: i saw that band a couple of times
[04:36] <wrektjet> pretty ridiculous
[04:36] <evil_tech> g4lt-lappy: i seem to be having hit and miss luck with sd readers of late. my tc1100's stopped working, the dells prevents ubuntu from suspending, and my pcmcia one i was using as a readyboost cache for vista on my tablet also died
[04:37] <Ostien> hey can anyone here take a look at my thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6923709#post6923709
[04:37] <meshuggah> i will take a look
[04:37] <Ostien> thanks
[04:38] <meshuggah> to resume it, your computer is slow?
[04:39] <g4lt-lappy> Ostien, chsh.  bash seems to have a problem with one of the files it sources IME, I chsh'd to tcsh and got about twice the speed of loadihng a terminal
[04:39] <Ostien> yeah but its not just the terminal that is slow
[04:39] <pturing> Ostien: can you run top and paste it to us through http://paste.ubuntu.com/ ?
[04:40] <Ostien> sure
[04:41] <Ostien> http://paste.ubuntu.com/134061/
[04:41] <pturing> anybody happen to know how Canonical feels about people using 'buntu in the name for unofficial derivatives?
[04:41] <Excell> does anyone remember the touch command to involk sys check @ boot?
[04:41] <mn> What do I need to edit to make the OS recognize a certain file extension and open with a certain application?
[04:41] <g4lt-lappy> Ostien, that's fine, I answered the question you asked.  I can't read your mind.  if you have other things going wrong, TELL US
[04:41] <Stepan1> Is samba preinstalled on Ubuntu?
[04:42] <Ostien> okay but I'm not sure what solution you gave me, forgive my noobishness
[04:42] <Ostien> also all the information I have is in the thread I posted
[04:43] <g4lt-lappy> Ostien, bash takes a while to load, if you change your sell to something other, you can improve your speed
[04:43] <Dreamglider> Stepan1: if u dont have samba just type "sudo apt-get install samba"
[04:43] <Ostien> okay but this is not a slight optimization thing it is something that was working I did some updates and now it isint
[04:43] <Ostien> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6923709#post6923709
[04:44] <cedriczg> mn, on nautilus just right click and select open with
[04:44] <Ostien> kdesudo also takes a long time to load as well as pulling up the OO file manager
[04:44] <mn> cedriczg:  don't wan to have to do that.  I want the OS to recognize the extension
[04:45] <Ostien> also I'd rather not change to another shell if I don't have to, which I shouldent
[04:45] <cedriczg> mn, well after you do that you can also choose the program by defaut
[04:45] <pturing> Ostien: yah top looks fine. This is a long shot but could you run this in your home dir:          ls -al  | grep root
[04:45] <cedriczg> mn, right click > properties
[04:45] <tastychef> can i run ubuntu on my intel macbook? anyone else do this? would i use the normal i386 desktop version?
[04:46] <virus> tastychef, yes you can
[04:46] <cedriczg>  mn, right click > properties > open with
[04:46] <virus> tastychef, at www.ubuntuforums.org there is a special secction to apple
[04:46] <Ostien> pturing: what am I looking for?
[04:46] <linuxonmac> tastychef: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook
[04:46] <rdw200169> tastychef, yes
[04:46] <rdw200169> linuxonmac, of course, you name is a dead giveaway that you know what you're talking about ;)
[04:46] <linuxonmac> tastychef: your going to want to install rEFIt
[04:47] <Stepan1> Dreamglider: thanks.  if i want my windows machine to access my linux printer i assume i have  to install samba on both?
[04:47] <linuxonmac> rdw200169"
[04:47] <tastychef> refit..  whats that do
[04:47] <linuxonmac> rdw200169: yes
[04:47] <mn> That won't make the OS recognize the file type.  It will tell me (in properties) that test.cpp is a C++ source file, but it tells me that test.asm is of unknown type.  I want to change that/
[04:47] <pturing> Ostien: if you accidentally have a file kde uses with its ownership set to root, that could cause trouble
[04:48] <Ostien> pturing: nope nothing of the sort going on there
[04:48] <pturing> Stepan1: on windows it's called something like 'File and print sharing for microsoft networks'
[04:48] <Ostien> I've had a similer problem a while back and removing all references to ipv6 in my /etc/hosts file did the trick but that not fixing it this time
[04:48] <pturing> Stepan1: (the idea of samba is it speaks windows' own language for doing file sharing and printers)
[04:48] <linuxonmac> tastychef: its a bootloader that will reconize your linux partition
[04:49] <tastychef> oh ok
[04:49] <tastychef> is the current ubuntu still 8.10?
[04:49] <pturing> tastychef: yes until April
[04:49] <tastychef> oh ok
[04:49] <tastychef> ill just wait then..
[04:49] <Stepan1> pturing: got it, thanks, ill give it a try
[04:49] <pturing> I think end of April is when we get 9.04 which will be current until October
[04:49] <virus> pturing, wich day in april ?
[04:49] <sam1> this is regarding autorun usb
[04:50] <sam1> how do i make a usb autorun, ubs side as well as ubuntu side configuration?
[04:50] <sam1> ubuntu 8.04 it is
[04:50] <pturing> Ostien: check /var/log/messages  .... anything weird there?
[04:51] <sam1> ne help?
[04:51] <pturing> Ostien: also if you can switch to a virtual terminal (ctrl+shift+1) and login. Then you can setup a file called .xinitrc in your home that just says: xterm
[04:51] <g4lt-lappy> sam1, the short answer is you don't.  autorun violates the principle of least authority
[04:52] <pturing> Ostien: then run: startx          It will bring up a blank X session with a terminal.  Then you can run startkde in that terminal.    Maybe you will see some useful error messages
[04:52] <Ostien> pturing, perhaps there are some odd things in /var/log/messages I'll do a paste hold on
[04:52] <UsamaAkkad> hello, is their a way to use a minimal install cd with GUI?
[04:52] <pturing> Ostien: this is sort of an advanced procedure if you're not familiar with all that stuff
[04:53] <Ostien> pturing, nah I get what you are saying, first I'll link to some odd things in /var/log/messages
[04:54] <pturing> sam1: yah, sorry. I've never looked into autorun on Ubuntu because I always that it was nuts
[04:54] <sam1> pturing, it's necessary for me rite now
[04:55] <sam1> is there some setting that needs to be configured in ubuntu
[04:55] <sam1> ?
[04:55] <fr500> cd/dvd autorun?
[04:56] <Ostien> pturing, http://paste.ubuntu.com/134064/ gonna try that other process though
[04:56] <sam1> nopes
[04:56] <sam1> usb autorun
[04:57] <sam1> via an autorun script as i've read it so far
[04:57] <fr500> sam1: well you could hack whatever ubuntu is using to automount devices now to execute a script I guess
[04:57] <fr500> udev maybe
[04:57] <pturing> sam1: are you trying to autorun a windows program?
[04:57] <sam1> na
[04:57] <pturing> Ostien: check your ram
[04:57] <meshuggah> prout et reprout
[04:58] <fr500> sam1: what are you trying to do with autorun?
[04:58] <Ostien> pturing, check it how?
[04:58] <pturing> Ostien: 80% chance you have a hardware problem. suggest you boot the Ubuntu CD and rum memtest86. It's one of the boot options
[04:58] <sam1> actually it's my colege project to have a usb protection sys
[04:58] <pturing> Ostien: leave it running overnight. If you see any red lines in the morning, then 99% chance your ram is bad
[04:58] <sam1> so for that i've to have a autorun
[04:59] <fr500> sam1: well usb protection thru autorun most likely=fail
[04:59] <fr500> sam1: but I'm not here to judge you, try this https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/3145
[04:59] <sam1> the problem statement is so
[04:59] <Ostien> pturing, really? I did a system check not too long ago and it would be very convient that a hardware issue would pop up and that it would not have anything to do with me installing all of gnome then uninstalling it in a very dramatic fashion
[04:59] <fr500> sam1 but requires OS side config so it's not realy useful
[04:59] <sam1> i hope u just leave other issues apart
[05:00] <sam1> yes, it's ok
[05:00] <sam1> gimme a solution.... whatever it is!
[05:00] <pturing> sam1: You could install a current wine .deb package from winehq.org
[05:00] <fr500> sam1: the link i posted there is a solution there
[05:00] <pturing> sam1:  I think maybe they have this now for windows autorun files
[05:00] <sam1> and
[05:00] <sam1> ?
[05:01] <sam1> ok lemme read it,fr500
[05:01] <pturing> fr500: is that working for you? I seem to remember that I used to have that tab in my preferences but it's not there for me now
[05:01] <Ostien> pturing, and like I said this has been an issue with others involving their /etc/hosts file and like I said I've expernced that before and it may be the same problem but not jusrt as simple as an /etc/hosts fix
[05:01] <fr500> pturing: didn't try
[05:01] <Geoffrey2> does anyone know if Intrepid should have an hcid.conf file?
[05:02] <Geoffrey2> for bluetooth?
[05:02] <fr500> sam1 this may be handy too https://wiki.ubuntu.com/autorun
[05:02] <pturing> Ostien: yah, it's possible there is another problem but if it was me I would check the ram first
[05:03] <fr500> pturing: it's on the nautilus preferences window now it seems
[05:03] <g4lt-lappy> Ostien, that's the second easy fix you've disagreed with and rejected out of hand.  do you WANT this fixed?
[05:03] <pturing> Geoffrey2: I have one. It's in /etc/bluetooth and it's owned by bluez-utils
[05:03] <Ostien> pturing, any suggestions on other solutions though
[05:04] <Ostien> g4lt-lappy, not true
[05:04] <Ostien> g4lt-lappy, I have reasons for not wanting to use another shell
[05:04] <Geoffrey2> pturing, I'm looking in that directory, and I don't have one....
[05:04] <Ostien> g4lt-lappy, also I ran memtest like a week ago
[05:05] <aprilhare> i'm attempting to run kail 7.4 beta on intrepid amd64. I'm receiving the following: "./kaiengine: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2u_richtext-2.8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" I thought libwxgtk2.8-0 would have provided this, however it's already installed. help? :)
[05:05] <aprilhare> kaid rather
[05:05] <Ostien> g4lt-lappy, and I just said I did a massive bit of installing and uninstalling so the problem probably lies there
[05:06] <pturing> Ostien: the startkde thing. or maybe you could see what all packages you have and uninstall some more. Or just re-install. Ubuntu install doesn't take long
[05:06] <g4lt-lappy> Ostien, just forget it.  I ain't fighting with you to fix your machine
[05:06] <pturing> Geoffrey2: Try installing the bluez-utils package
[05:07] <Ostien> pturing, I'm having issues with the startkde attempt how do I get startx to run on something not screen 0?
[05:07] <Ostien> g4lt-lappy, wow testy testy
[05:08] <pturing> Ostien: right. you can either stop kdm first ( sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop) or run         startx -- :0
[05:08] <pturing> or rather            startx -- :3
[05:08] <pturing> (not 0)
[05:08] <Ostien> gocha
[05:08] <pturing> .xinitrc may have to have executable permissions. I don't remember for sure
[05:08] <Geoffrey2> pturing, it's already installed
[05:09] <pturing> Geoffrey2: that's weird.    can you run these commands?     dpkg -l | grep bluez;  dpkg -L bluez-utils | grep /etc
[05:09] <Ostien> pturing, sweet no slowdown for kuake in this kde run
[05:09] <pturing> Geoffrey2: also,       ls /etc/bluetooth
[05:10] <Ostien> pturing, gonna try kdesudo and other such things to see if this is a working kde session
[05:11] <pturing> Ostien: that's weird. I was hoping it would be slow but there would be an error message that would point to why. I'm not sure how to figure out why this is not as slow as starting it from kdm
[05:11] <pturing> Ostien: but I must admit I don't often use kd
[05:11] <pturing> er, kde
[05:11] <Ostien> pturing, yeah it is odd all things seem to work fine in that kde
[05:12] <Ostien> pturing, slow as molasses in this kde still
[05:12] <pturing> so it was ok and then it got slow or what?
[05:12] <RickZilla> How can I remove an orphaned icon in the application list?  It's not really attached to any software any more.
[05:13] <Ostien> pturing, nah I was switching back and forth
[05:13] <Ostien> pturing, the original kde session is slow and the one from tty1 is fast
[05:13] <pturing> RickZilla: was it for something special that was not installed through apt/synaptic/etc. ?
[05:13] <pturing> RickZilla: maybe you can remove the file for it from /usr/share/applications
[05:13] <RickZilla> pturing:  Correct.  Google earth that I tried to install manually
[05:13] <Geoffrey2> pturing, what version of ubuntu are you using?
[05:14] <RickZilla> pturing:  I'll check it out.  Thanks for the info
[05:14] <Ostien> pturing, though when I switch back to tty1 x has stoped and I need to kill it and restart it
[05:15] <pturing> Geoffrey2: you know what, you're right. I might have the jaunty blutooth stuff installed....  (long story)
[05:15] <pturing> Ostien: when you run startx from tty1 it probably actually starts it on tty8
[05:16] <pturing> Ostien: or maybe it just crashed, hehe. that's never been really stable
[05:16] <Ostien> pturing, nope its on tty8
[05:17] <pturing> Geoffrey2: or maybe i'ts in the backports repository. trying to look but packages.ubuntu.com is slow right now
[05:18] <RickZilla> File isn't in usr/share/applications...got some other ways to remove it?
[05:18] <Ostien> pturing, okay so it works in this instance but not on the one on tty7 (my original) still slow goings here as far as terminals and such
[05:20] <Dreamglider> I made 3 primary partitions on my flash drive, installed three distros, Partit 3 Ubuntu LiveCD, Partit 2 SystemRescueCD and partit 1 Ophcrack. Can i install a GRUB on the ubuntu partition and make enteries for Sys rescueCD and Ophcrack in it so i can boot them?
[05:20] <pturing> RickZilla: have you logged out and logged back in since removing google earth?
[05:21] <pturing> Dreamglider: yes probably
[05:21] <g4lt-lappy> Dreamglider, short answer: if you want to see the other partitions, it has to be in the MBR of the disk
[05:21] <RickZilla> No, usually the icons are removed right away.  I can try that, though.  Thanks for the help.
[05:21] <g4lt-lappy> if you put it in partition 3, all it will see is partition 3
[05:22] <pturing> RickZilla: yah no guarantees but worth a shot. I don't remember right now where the stuff in your home directory is for this
[05:23] <Dreamglider> g4lt-lappy: How do i install GRUB on the MBR on the flash ?
[05:23] <pturing> Ostien: that's weird. maybe this new information will cause a kubuntu expert to recognize the problem
[05:24] <g4lt-lappy> Dreamglider,typically you have to do stuff to get it NOT to install in the MBR, so just installgrub and it should work
[05:25] <MrAlexandro> is there a preferd format on the ubntu partition
[05:25] <MrAlexandro> ?
[05:25] <Ostien> yeah I'll post this revelation on the thread and see if anyone can come up with anything
[05:25] <Dreamglider> g4lt-lappy: ok i i take it that ubuntu installed GRUB is in the MBR since i installed Ubuntu Last, how do i get the other distros to show in the GRUB then ?
[05:25] <g4lt-lappy> MrAlexandro, ext3 or ext4 typically, but you can use a lot of different types
[05:25] <Ostien> pturing, Thanks!
[05:26] <g4lt-lappy> Dreamglider, edit the grub menu.  I'm somewhat surprised the installer didn't catch them for you
[05:26] <bzaks> Is there a known bug with adding a jar to the classpath (/usr/share/ant/lib/) for ant that doesn't actually work on ubuntu? I'm just trying to get the scp task to work... and I added the new jsch-1.4x jar to /usr/share/ant/lib on my ubuntu box, and its not working for some reason
[05:26] <pturing> Dreamglider: you may look at http://manual.sidux.com/en/sys-admin-grub-bootman2-en.htm in the multiple booting section (sorry I don't have an ubuntu-specific link at the moment)
[05:26] <a_user> Laptop completely freezes when I insert an SD card and it requires a hard reboot http://pastebin.ca/1365930
[05:26] <a_user> any ideas?
[05:26] <Dreamglider> g4lt-lappy: i have not tried to boot yet, i used Netbootin to install the distros on the flash
[05:27] <g4lt-lappy> dremtry it, it may Just have Worked
[05:28] <g4lt-lappy> Dreamglider, ^^^^^
[05:28] <MrAlexandro> g4lt-lappy i will use ext 3 if that is the most stable and prefered format
[05:28] <Dreamglider> g4lt-lappy: ill have a look thank you.
[05:28] <zezu> I just installed ubuntu using debootstrap from another linux install, and i have some odd behaviour,  updater installed a newer kernel and it didn't add it to grub menu.lst .. and vi isn't working properly i get strange behaviour , ie: it doens't say insert but inserts characters but not alwaysthe correct ones .. bad keymap?
[05:28] <MindVirus> Hi. I want to install Ubuntu on my Asus Eee 1000.
[05:28] <jsjones> How can I reverse the print order of all pages, for a specific printer?
[05:29] <g4lt-lappy> MrAlexandro, honestly, that's what the installer will do for you unless you tellit to things differently.  typically my adivice in these maters is "why mess with the defaults?"
[05:29] <TwoToneSpirit> MindVirus:  Do it up.  :-)
[05:29] <MindVirus> I put the CDROM iso onto my USB drive.
[05:29] <pturing> MrAlexandro: yes it is the most commonly used and is considered stable
[05:29] <MindVirus> But it's telling me "invalid operating system."
[05:29] <TwoToneSpirit> MindVirus:  What did you use to burn the ISO?
[05:29] <zezu> he put it on a usb drive
[05:29] <MindVirus> System->Administration->USB whatever.
[05:30] <MindVirus> Create a USB Startup Disk.
[05:30] <pturing> MindVirus: do you have virus protection enabled in bios? can you boot other linux CDs?
[05:30] <MindVirus> I haven't tried.
[05:30] <Keal_> how do i dual boot win xp sp3?
[05:31] <pturing> MrAlexandro: yah I found that debootstrap does not do everything the installer does, and you get a lot of weird problems
[05:31] <stonecobra> if something stopped working recently, where can I find the log of updates applied to my system?
[05:31] <g4lt-lappy> Keal_, install it, install ubuntu, use grub to choose on boot.  if you already have ubuntu installed, it should work, but you have to edit grub menus
[05:31] <linuxonmac> Keal_: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_windows_xp_and_linux_xp_installed_first.htm
[05:32] <MrAlexandro> pturing debootstrap?
[05:32] <pturing> MrAlexandro: sorry that was for ZeZu
[05:32] <Keal_> how do i dual boot win xp sp3?
[05:32] <pturing> stonecobra: /var/log/dpkg.log*
[05:32] <MrAlexandro> ok:)
[05:33] <TwoToneSpirit> MindVirus:  So what's your current status?
[05:33] <pturing> Keal_: did you see the article that linuxonmac linked?
[05:33] <ZeZu> pturing: any good way to solve some of these problems?  i thought debootstrap was what the installer used ;|
[05:33] <MindVirus> TwoToneSpirit, trying to figure out whether or not I have Virus Protection enabled.
[05:33] <MindVirus> Looking for Linux CDs.
[05:33] <ZeZu> pturing: most of them are minor but would be nice to get them fixed
[05:33] <MindVirus> Oh just realized.
[05:33] <MindVirus> The Eee has no CD drive.
[05:33] <TwoToneSpirit> MindVirus:  I have exactly zero experience installing from USB
[05:33] <MindVirus> I as well.
[05:34] <TwoToneSpirit> MindVirus:  Well that kind of forces our hand then doesn't it.  :-)
[05:34] <chrono> ?DCC SEND "ff???f?" 0 0 0
[05:34] <pturing> ZeZu: I think maybe it does use it but it does some other things. I never pursued this far enough to find out all the differences so I don't know much more than that; sorry
[05:34] <MindVirus> TwoToneSpirit, :)
[05:34] <MrAlexandro> can two linux distros like ubuntu and slackware share swap?`
[05:34] <TwoToneSpirit> MindVirus:  So, to your knowledge, is it as simple as copying the ISO to the USB drive?  Doesn't seem like that can be right.
[05:35] <pturing> MrAlexandro: yup
[05:35] <MindVirus> I reconfigured my BIOS settings as well.
[05:35] <MrAlexandro> nice nice nice:D
[05:35] <MindVirus> I didn't copy the Iso.
[05:35] <MindVirus> *ISO.
[05:35] <g4lt-lappy> MrAlexandro,  yes, but I'll not be the one recommending to do it
[05:35] <MindVirus> I burned the ISO.
[05:35] <TwoToneSpirit> MindVirus:  Wonderful.  :-)
[05:35] <MrAlexandro> oh ok
[05:35] <away_da> MrAlexandro, as long as you dont hibernate
[05:35] <MindVirus> I don't see anything about virus protection.
[05:35] <MrAlexandro> g4lt-lappy what if i resise the swap from 2 gb to 1 gb eash. is that enough?
[05:35] <g4lt-lappy> I killed a system with shared swap a decadde or so ago
[05:35] <Stepan1> I installed samba on my linux machine, now how can i access a printer from my windows machine?
[05:36] <pturing> yah, what away_da said. hehe :
[05:36] <stonecobra> pturing: thanks
[05:36] <g4lt-lappy> MrAlexandro, honestly, if you have enough main memory that 1G swap is indicated, I doubt you're using mch of it anyways
[05:36] <away_da> MrAlexandro, sharing swap is not a problem. but if you hibernate, the image is stored on swap, so booting into the other will wipe it (and destroying your hibernated session)
[05:37] <pturing> Stepan1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba#Sharing%20CUPS%20Printers    then you should be able to go to    \\ubuntu_machine   from your windows machine and see the printer
[05:37] <MrAlexandro> oh ok. probably wont hibernate and then boot a new one, but is 1gb swap enough?
[05:39] <g4lt-lappy> MrAlexandro, the OLD rule used to be "2x your main memory", and my 1G laptiop hardly ever touches swap, but for hibernation, you need AT LEAST your main memory size
[05:39] <MrAlexandro> oh i have 4gb ram:(
[05:39] <ShinyHat> will someone please help me with a java issue?
[05:39] <MrAlexandro> i will put in a 4gb swap then and share it
[05:39] <g4lt-lappy> MrAlexandro, so to hibernate you need a 4G swap
[05:39] <MrAlexandro> thanks :D
[05:40] <pturing> on my laptop I don't use hibernate. I just use suspend.
[05:40] <g4lt-lappy> remember, though, if you sahre, and the other system TOUCHES swap, you've blown away your hibernated swession
[05:40] <melik> what a very efficient email server?
[05:40] <MrAlexandro> i get it :D but if i hibernate one. i just have to make sure i dont boot the other:D
[05:41] <pturing> ShinyHat: I'll try if I can
[05:41] <melik> daemon*
[05:41] <melik> or software w/e
[05:41] <MindVirus> Anyone have any experience installing Ubuntu on the Asus Eee?
[05:41] <ShinyHat> pturing: mind if i pm?
[05:41] <MrAlexandro> i will not use slackware much  g4lt-lappy, someone talked me into trying it and it is too advanced for me
[05:41] <Stepan1> pturing: what if the two machines are not on the same server? can i access it via ip?
[05:41] <pturing> ShinyHat: I don't mind but you should post to the channel unless you have a good reason
[05:42] <Keal_> i still don't understand how to add windows xp sp2 and dual boot it :>
[05:42] <Keal_> :<
[05:42] <g4lt-lappy> MindVirus, there's a whole community for eeebuntu
[05:42] <MindVirus> Where's that?
[05:42] <MindVirus> Nevermind.
[05:42] <pturing> Stepan1: you mean not on the same network? You might try doing it by ip
[05:42] <MindVirus> Is it supported by Ubuntu?
[05:42] <ShinyHat> pturing: fair enough, just seems like there is a lot going on in the room
[05:42] <frybye> MindVirus: try #ubuntu-eeepc
[05:42] <MindVirus> I'm there.
[05:42] <Flannel> !dualboot | Keal_
[05:43] <ShinyHat> pturing: my problem is with using logmein
[05:43] <pturing> melik: what are you trying to do? lots of mail?
[05:43] <melik> well its going to be a network of lets say 20-30 computers
[05:43] <MrAlexandro> Keal_ inbstall xp first. then make sure you have another parttition or free space on your hardrive. then create a linux partition and insert the cd and install the ubuntu with grub wich will set up the dual boot automatic
[05:43] <melik> what would you recommend
[05:43] <Keal_> i already have ubuntu installed :<
[05:44] <Keal_> i was told before ubuntu needs to be installed first >8(
[05:44] <MrAlexandro> Keal_ then create a partition for xp and then reinstall grub as main bootloader
[05:44] <Keal_> i don't get it! x_X
[05:44] <g4lt-lappy> Keal_, install XP, just don't let it touch the MBR, then edit your grub menu accordingly, if it doesn't find it for you
[05:44] <Flannel> Keal_: Either one will work, but installing Ubuntu second is easier.  But it's certainly possible doing it the other way around.
[05:44] <Flannel> !grub | Keal_
[05:44] <ShinyHat> pturing: there is a thread here that describes my exact problem, but no resolution http://community.logmeinrescue.com/logmein/board/message?board.id=31&message.id=457
[05:44] <Keal_> how do i do that?
[05:44] <Flannel> Keal_: follow the first link there afte you install XP
[05:45] <Keal_> how do i keep it from touching the MBR? :<
[05:45] <pturing> melik: probably any of them will work fine
[05:45] <ShinyHat> pturing: so i don't think it's just me being new and naive
[05:45] <melik> pturing, i need names :$
[05:45] <melik> i know sendmail
[05:45] <Flannel> Keal_: you can't.  Windows doesn't play nice.  So you have to just re-write GRUB afterwards (thats what the link covers).  Once you do that, and you're booting with GRUB, you edit the menu.lst to add XP
[05:45] <melik> postfix
[05:45] <melik> what else is there
[05:45] <jtaji> g4lt-lappy: yeah, how exactly do you prevent if from overwriting the mbr?
[05:46] <Church77100_TSL> yo
[05:46] <Keal_> do i lose all my ubuntu files :<
[05:46] <pturing> melik: I like qmail toaster. It's not for Ubuntu, but it's pretty good. It gets you all the stuff you want with a mail server
[05:46] <g4lt-lappy> jtaji, I thought starting with W2k, windows tries to be nice about the MBR
[05:46] <jtaji> g4lt-lappy: it sure doesn't, unfortunately
[05:46] <g4lt-lappy> given I haven't touched redmiondware since 1998ish, I don't know from experience
[05:47] <Stepan1> pturing: I'm not sure how much you know about this, but hopefully you can help.  I typed in "http://(myip):631/printers/" and i am getting "windows cannot connect to printer" error
[05:47] <pturing> Keal_: You should be able to install windows to a different partition. If you install to a different partition it won't touch your ubuntu files
[05:47] <g4lt-lappy> (well, I have, but in virtual machines, which don't have issues)
[05:47] <Cepejko> idite nahyi
[05:47] <Keal_> ok <
[05:47] <CodeDragon> Hey, I've got an odd problem.  My resolution wont stay at 1680x1080
[05:47] <Keal_> :<
[05:48] <pturing> Stepan1: I'm not sure where you are putting that on your windows machine, but you should not need to go to that address to access the printer from windows
[05:49] <pturing> you should be able to go to your ubuntu machine inside network neighborhood and just click on the printer
[05:49] <Stepan1> pturing: i tried to got by https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingFromWinXP, what should i type in the URL field?
[05:50] <pturing> CodeDragon: you have an odd resolution :)      are you using the nvidia tool to set the resolution, or the system->preferences->screen resolution ?
[05:50] <CodeDragon> system-preferences-screen resolution
[05:51] <pturing> ShinyHat: can you try running this...                     pasuspender firefox
[05:51] <MrAlexandro> any one here who can tell me if lilo or grub is the best main boot loader ?
[05:51] <pturing> maybe java is trying to use the sound and failing. just a wild guess.
[05:51] <ShinyHat> pturing: from terminal?
[05:51] <pturing> ShinyHat: yah. close firefox first.
[05:52] <pturing> MrAlexandro: grub
[05:52] <jtaji> MrAlexandro: you most likely want to be using grub, which is default
[05:52] <rww> MrAlexandro: grub
[05:52] <Kimi> Hi..
[05:52] <g4lt-lappy> lilo is basically walking dead nowadays
[05:52] <Kimi> why do kubuntu live cd is very slower than xubuntu live cd ??
[05:52] <CodeDragon> My graphics card is integrated into my motherboard, it uses ATI
[05:52] <g4lt-lappy> i don't think it's been updated in 5 years
[05:53] <g4lt-lappy> Kimi, because KDE is about 10x as process-intensive?
[05:53] <pturing> Stepan1: yah this procedure looks harder to me. have you tried browsing to the printer in the file manager?
[05:53] <MrAlexandro> for me lilo is default now due to slackware, but i guess you guys have a guide on how to add os with partition path¨s (sda x )
[05:53] <pturing> CodeDragon: Are you using the proprietary drivers or no?
[05:53] <CodeDragon> I am
[05:54] <Stepan1> pturing: no
[05:54] <pturing> Kimi: yah xfce and xubuntu are designed to be light and fast. kde and kubuntu are designed to be fancy :)
[05:54] <Stepan1> pturing: not sure how to do that
[05:54] <theCarpenter> python 3 on ubuntu - how?
[05:54] <MrAlexandro> guide for adding os¨s with the partition path in grub?
[05:54] <Kimi> ok... but i still have ubuntu installed
[05:54] <CodeDragon> My proprietary driver is the ATI/AMD FGLRX one
[05:55] <Kimi> then.. how do i install WUBI into a PEN DRIVE ?
[05:55] <TxB> Hello.
[05:55] <bazhang> Kimi, you dont
[05:55] <stduseren_> I don't consider my self a newbie, to Ubuntu but I am in a way, to IRC. And have been looking for ways to use IRC at work but not allow my administraor to capture my unencrypted packets from vista.
[05:55] <pturing> Stepan1: lots of ways. maybe you can just do this...         start->run   type    \\192.168.0.5  (replace with IP of ubuntu machine)  click run. maybe it brings up a window with the printer
[05:55] <Kimi> bazhang:what is "you dont"
[05:56] <Geoffrey2> sigh......
[05:56] <TxB> I am new to Linux and Ubuntu.
[05:56] <bazhang> Kimi, it is within windows
[05:56] <Kimi> Welcome TxB .. !
[05:56] <stduseren_> txb good for you
[05:56] <Kimi> @ bazhang... how to reply in red ??
[05:56] <devilsF001> hi: is dhclient: <ip.add.res.s> a valid hosts.deny?  or should I just do ALL: <ip.add.res.s>
[05:56] <Stepan1> pturing: it says network location cannot be reached
[05:56] <Kimi> ok.. how to install ubuntu in real way into a PEN drive ?
[05:56] <TxB> When installing Ubuntu, it comes with preinstalled applications I presume? How would one do a more bare install? I prefer to install applications as I need them.
[05:56] <stduseren_> is there a way to run Xchat encrypted?
[05:56] <rww> !usb | Kimi
[05:57] <bazhang> Kimi, just by typing the nick as you did
[05:57] <Kimi> !usb | Kimi
[05:57] <MrAlexandro> rww do you have a guide for adding os¨s in grub as well
[05:57] <pturing> CodeDragon: maybe there is an ati tool to do it. I'm not sure, I don't have an ati card
[05:57] <lstarnes> stduseren_: xchat does support ssl, but many irc networks don't
[05:57] <pturing> or at least I am not using the ones I have
[05:57] <lstarnes> stduseren_: freenode is one of the ones that doesn't
[05:57] <Geoffrey2> has anyone here had any luck with bluetooth in Intrepid?
[05:57] <pturing> stduseren_: maybe a vpn service
[05:57] <stduseren_> vpn to my home?
[05:57] <CodeDragon> Hmm
[05:58] <stduseren_> that' be suite, but lot of energy spent
[05:58] <pturing> stduseren_: that would work too
[05:58] <rww> MrAlexandro: nope, but it's probably on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[05:58] <Kimi> !usb | Kimi >>> what is this >?
[05:59] <stduseren_> ok, thats start, i can look for the SSL enabled irc channels
[05:59] <heqianfy> 大家好，有会中文的朋友吗？
[05:59] <lstarnes> stduseren_: SSL has ntohing to do with channels
[05:59] <lstarnes> stduseren_: the servers handle SSL, not channels
[05:59] <pturing> TxB: You could install ubuntu server. It's mostly the same as regular ubuntu, but with a lot of stuff not installed
[05:59] <ShinyHat> pturing: no dice- with java turned off it loads only a black screen for remote control, with java on ff freezes
[05:59] <pturing> TxB: like I think it comes with no gui
[05:59] <stduseren_> sorry I ment servers....lol
[05:59] <stduseren_> i am not that lost..
[06:00] <Geoffrey2> I'll take that for a no.....
[06:00] <jtaji> !minimal | TxB
[06:00] <stduseren_> I so wish Xchat was 32bit windows compatible
[06:00] <pturing> ShinyHat: sorry not something I am real familiar with; I don't have any other good guesses at the moment
[06:00] <TxB> !Alternate
[06:00] <lstarnes> stduseren_: there is a version of xchat for 32-bit windows
[06:00] <g4lt-lappy> stdin, it is.  you just have to pay for it
[06:01] <stduseren_> really is it free?
[06:01] <g4lt-lappy> stduseren_, ^^^^
[06:01] <pturing> Geoffrey2: I haven't tested it yet, but I probably will next week
[06:01] <TxB> Is the Alternate CD a live version?
[06:01] <lstarnes> stduseren_: there is a free version made by silverex, I think
[06:01] <ShinyHat> pturing: that is most unfortunate, it is one of only two things i still must rely on windows for
[06:01] <jtaji> stduseren_: yes actually there is a free build out there, in addition to the pay one g4lt-lappy referred to
[06:01] <g4lt-lappy> stduseren_, you canGET unsupported win32 builds, buit the one from xchat.org is $$$
[06:01] <g4lt-lappy> stduseren_, try #xchat's topic for free builds
[06:03] <stduseren_> should i be worried to use this free builds for backholes?
[06:03] <pturing> ShinyHat: what does the 'remote control' do? Does it just get you a remote desktop?
[06:03] <pturing> stduseren_: nah
[06:03] <o0Chris0o> how can I make firefox my default browser? eiphany keeps opening up links I click on
[06:03] <stduseren_> is it possible to somehow get a gui using ssh?
[06:03] <stduseren_> i ment xchat and ssh
[06:03] <Kimi> how to use 8.10 live cd to upgrade my frnd's 7.10 ?
[06:04] <Canadahar> oOChrisOp preferences
[06:04] <o0Chris0o> Canadahar: preferences where
[06:04] <pturing> o0Chris0o: system->preferences->preferred applications   I think
[06:04] <g4lt-lappy> stduseren_, well, most of the free builders are trustworthy, but it's your air tank
[06:04] <ShinyHat> pturing: yeah, i do it work and it allows me to work on client's machines from a distance from any internet capable machine (apparently as long as it's windows)
[06:04] <o0Chris0o> pturing: ahh ok, I thought I had to do it through the browser itself
[06:04] <jtaji> stduseren_: you could but you need an x-server on the client end, so it's easier with linux for a client... but you could use a command line irc client like irssi
[06:04] <bony> i have a hp 1320 laserjet printer which was detected automatically. The driver for this printer is also set but when i give prints it take very long to to print is there a way to increase the speedd?
[06:04] <g4lt-lappy> stduseren_, yes, you can forward X over SSH
[06:05] <cali2108> can someone told me how to make my microphone work fine on a dell latitude d620???
[06:05] <ShinyHat> pturing: I.T. work, that is
[06:05] <pturing> stduseren_: yes you can use         ssh -Y     to redirect remote X programs to a local X installation. You can get X for windows by installing cygwin
[06:05] <o0Chris0o> odd its already set as firefox
[06:05] <pturing> stduseren_: you can also do ssh+vnc   or NoMachine NX (my favourite)
[06:05] <Canadahar> doo
[06:06] <pturing> ShinyHat:  maybe you can try it under wine. I actually had a program like this that worked for me in my browser under wine
[06:07] <pturing> or crossover
[06:07] <ShinyHat> pturing: does wine support activex?
[06:07] <stduseren_> cygwin? it rings a bell
[06:07] <dayo> i need to connect to a wifi AP serially. the wifi AP has only a LAN port, and my laptop only no serial port. what do i do?
[06:08] <pturing> ShinyHat: Yes I think so if you are using IE under wine. As I recall, flash on windows is an activex thing and that works under wine. You may try ies4linux or winetricks or crossover to install IE easily
[06:08] <g4lt-lappy> dayo, get a USB-serial adapter?
[06:09] <pturing> stduseren_: yah, google cygwin. It gets you a lot of linux stuff under windows. There is also andLinux which is pretty cool but not as stable
[06:09] <stduseren_> oh ok I knew it cygwin is linux running on windows
[06:09] <pturing> stduseren_: or just PuTTY, hehe
[06:09] <g4lt-lappy> not quite, but it's a good enough description, stduseren_
[06:10] <pturing> stduseren_: well not quite. andLinux actually is running linux on windows. cygwin lets you re-compile linux programs to work on windows, and many programs are already ported to it
[06:10] <ShinyHat> pturing: being fairly new, what should i try first?
[06:10] <pickletrip> hey everyone.  very new to linux.  I just installed tor with "apt-get install tor", but now I have no idea where tor is or how to open it.  help?
[06:11] <Geoffrey2> the fun part is just about every document I can find for bluetooth and ubuntu is written for the old bluez 3.x stack, and is totally incompatible with Intrepid / Bluez 4.x....
[06:11] <MindVirus> Anyone have any experience with the Asus Eee?
[06:11] <g4lt-lappy> however, for xservers on win32, there's a lot of solutions, none of them trivial, or in fact free, like eXceed, miX, etc
[06:11] <pturing> ShinyHat: crossover is easiest and most polished. http://www.codeweavers.com      it is for-pay but it is also open source. the people that make it are among the main wine developers
[06:11] <stduseren_> ok, i do remember downloading some program a couple of years back that had linux only as a console is that the case for andLinux
[06:11] <dayo> g4lt-lappy: what does that look like?
[06:11] <jtaji> MindVirus: tried #eeepc ?
[06:11] <pturing> pickletrip: try TorK
[06:11] <MindVirus> jtaji, no :)
[06:11] <MindVirus> Thanks.
[06:12] <pickletrip> pturing: will do.  thanks.
[06:12] <g4lt-lappy> dayo, it has a USB plug on one side, and a DB or DB25 on the other, I think you can even get one for cisco RJ45 serial
[06:12] <pturing> g4lt-lappy: cygwin now comes with a free X server. it's not too bad to work with
[06:12] <Droopsta915_> Can someone please check this out and tell me what I can do get yahoo back to this. All I see is text and no icons pics or symbols.
[06:12] <Droopsta915_> http://www.flickr.com/photos/sour_patch/148150778/
[06:12] <disappearedng> hey everyone, I plugged in my usb and my ubuntu can't mount it. Any idea on what I could do to diagnose this
[06:12] <Kimi> gimp is very confusing... i know only adobe photoshop/// what to do ?
[06:13] <stduseren_> any ways, thanks for your suggestions. I think cygwin needs a visit... thx
[06:13] <ShinyHat> pturing: ok, thanks for the help- greatly appreciated.  now all i have to do is successfully tether my blackberry pearl and i'll be all set to cut windows ties :)
[06:13] <Canadahar> Kimi -- go to the gimp site
[06:13] <pturing> stduseren_: andLinux is a full blown Ubuntu install that lets you run ubuntu gui apps right there in windows. it's pretty sexy. not 100% stable though
[06:13] <Kimi> no no ...
[06:13] <Kimi> i dont want gimp
[06:13] <dayo> g4lt-lappy: but my problem is i need to connect serially, and neither of both nodes have a serial port.
[06:13] <Kimi> but want like photoshop
[06:13] <Canadahar> gimp rocks
[06:14] <pturing> Kimi: try gimpshop
[06:14] <jtaji> Droopsta915: that looks like windows to me
[06:14] <stduseren_> mmmh... well i think back then when i tried it ubuntu was not really in the picture, so it has really come a long way today...
[06:14] <Canadahar> i don't want gimp
[06:14] <durt> Kimi, run PS in wine? Gimp is not a PS replacement, it's very different.
[06:14] <Canadahar> I don't want ubuntu
[06:14] <pickletrip> I used wubi to install ubuntu.  is there a way for me to access my c: partition?  I can't seem to find it anywhere
[06:14] <pturing> you can run Photoshop CS2 in wine
[06:15] <g4lt-lappy> dayo, then you don't need to connect serially.  if the AP doesn't have a port for it, then you're SOL
[06:15] <stduseren_> i have a cual core 2.4 gb with 2g of ram, what should i try running? andLinux, or a VM of ubuntu?
[06:15] <stduseren_> ment quad core*
[06:15] <dayo> g4lt-lappy: SOL?
[06:15] <g4lt-lappy> some kind of out of luck
[06:16] <pturing> stduseren_: VM will be more reliable.
[06:16] <Droopsta915> jtaji:Im talking about Yahoo on Ubuntu. This is just an example, don't look at the windows theme
[06:16] <stduseren_> do you think its better to run a VM from my thumb drive?
[06:17] <disappearedng> How do I check if my usb is mounted?
[06:17] <pturing> hehe never tried running a vm from a thumb drive; don't know how well that would work
[06:17] <dayo> g4lt-lappy: it's a EnGeniues 3610, and to configure it i would usually connect it to my laptop with a lan cable, and put the default IP into my browser. but connecting *any* of the brand new APs to my laptop doesn't seem to work. the LAN light on my laptop stays off and i can't get into the AP
[06:17] <Droopsta915> I just cant get the pictures and everything, I do have Adobe and the non freeplugins
[06:17] <pturing> disappearedng:   in a terminal you can run:    mount
[06:17] <dayo> i should probably be asking this elsewhere :-/
[06:17] <stduseren_> disappearedng run mount in terminal
[06:17] <UsamaAkkad> hello
[06:17] <pturing> gotta go.  goodnight all :)
[06:18] <UsamaAkkad> the minmal install cd doesn't have gui
[06:18] <g4lt-lappy> dayo, it makes no difference whatsoever what you can or cannot do via the lan.  if it doesn't have a serial port, yuou can't make it have one.  hyour computer, maybe, but not the AP
[06:18] <UsamaAkkad> is their a way to addit
[06:18] <g4lt-lappy> UsamaAkkad, that's generally what "minimal" means.  if you want more, use a non-minimal CD
[06:19] <JackDeath> agreed
[06:19] <UsamaAkkad> no I mean if some one want to use minimal cd but I want to install using gui
[06:19] <kaeles> are there really bad issues with the rv280 (9200) or the 9550 ati cards ?
[06:19] <stduseren_>  disappearedng: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-tutorials-howtos-reference-material/15776-how-mount-usb-flash-drives-linux.html
[06:19] <JackDeath> minimal implies just that
[06:20] <stduseren_> OK so I will be running VM ubuntu at work, how should I encrypt xchat then?
[06:20] <UsamaAkkad> ok is it possible to implant more>
[06:20] <jtaji> UsamaAkkad: do you mean you want a gui in the installed system, or during the install? because I don't see how a gui would help the install process
[06:21] <crdlb> kaeles: uh, what do you mean, exactly? are you having a problem with such a GPU?
[06:21] <floatboat> can someone help me figure out why acrobat reader won't let me print duplex?
[06:21] <JackDeath> i suppose you could roll your own, but that takes a lot of patience
[06:21] <UsamaAkkad> yes during the installation
[06:21] <kaeles> yea both, I've got two in two machines, running mythbuntu, and both of them have issues with the video all together, even booting into X doesn't work with the autoconfig, or if I enter everything manually or with Xorg -config
[06:22] <jtaji> UsamaAkkad: why?
[06:22] <sixnonep> Hi Guys, my torrents are rather slow at the moment, just tried speedtest.net and connectivity according to them, seems fine...
[06:22] <JackDeath> UsamaAkkad: is there a reason you need the gui?
[06:22] <UsamaAkkad> sure,...
[06:22] <crdlb> kaeles: both of those should work out of the box, without installing any drivers or changing anyhing in the xorg.conf
[06:22] <kaeles> I've tried the ati driver and the radeon, though the ati is supposed to load the radeon if needed anyhow IIRC, and even vesa has issues, and falls back to the xorg.conf.failsafe
[06:23] <gnu-dio> UsamaAkkad: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[06:23] <UsamaAkkad> if a user wanted to get fully updated system without having to download full iso and then update it. he will prefer minimum
[06:23] <kaeles> in 7.x and 8.x?
[06:23] <UsamaAkkad> and that is for new users
[06:23] <UsamaAkkad> text based isn't easy for new users
[06:24] <UsamaAkkad> did I make it clear ?
[06:24] <JackDeath> UsamaAkkad: new users will most likely not have an easy time with a minimal install either
[06:24] <gnu-dio> UsamaAkkad: that last command I gave installs the full desktop-gui on top of a minimal install
[06:24] <d1b> UsamaAkkad: sudo upgrade-manager -d ?
[06:25] <simplexio> tect based mode is like mde for people who can ask help from irc. just c&p commands
[06:25] <JackDeath> even with a gui to install, they may be intimidated by the minimal
[06:25] <sekinto> Is it possible to start a graphical program in the system tray only that by default opens a window when it starts?
[06:26] <UsamaAkkad> d1b, didn't get it
[06:26] <disappearedng> Actually: my ubuntu doesn't auto mount, what's wrong?
[06:26] <TxB> When first installing Ubuntu, is it able to resize existing partitions without losing data?
[06:27] <UsamaAkkad> ok if I told a friend to download minimum.iso what he will see ? a text based installation  which every one knows it's not easy
[06:27] <Sauvin> TxB: yup!
[06:27] <TxB> Awesome.
[06:27] <crdlb> sekinto: only if the app supports it
[06:27] <kaeles> simplexio: Don't just copy and paste commands, try and learn why and what they are doing.
[06:27] <crdlb> TxB: but have backups anyway
[06:27] <Flannel> UsamaAkkad: the minimal ISO has the same interface as the alternate CD
[06:27] <UsamaAkkad> yes I know that
[06:27] <d1b> UsamaAkkad: what is your problem / what support are you seeking ? ...
[06:27] <UsamaAkkad> I've just tried starting i
[06:28] <jtaji> !brainstorm | UsamaAkkad, go here to submit your ideas
[06:28] <TxB> Will it help me setup a boot loader since I already have XP on the same drive?
[06:28] <wrektjet> hey.. i have a logitech g11 kb and i want to use the g1-g18 to assign shortcuts but ubuntu doesnt recognize them as being diff than the f1-f12 and g13-g18 as the numbers 1-6. any ideas? do i need some firmware or something like that?
[06:28] <kaeles> UsamaAkkad: if the problem is ease of use, then they don't need to worry about a slight bit more of downloading.
[06:28] <Flannel> UsamaAkkad: The alternate CD asks the exact same questions as the desktop CD.  You just have to use they keyboard instead of the mouse.
[06:28] <d1b> any reason why your friend can't use the normal installer ?
[06:28] <crdlb> TxB: yep
[06:28] <TxB> Excellent.
[06:28] <floatboat> can someone help me figure out why acrobat reader won't let me print duplex?
[06:28] <Psuedo> Greetings
[06:29] <stduseren_> I am using ubuntu right now, is there a way i can encrypt the packets that go out to the server?
[06:29] <UsamaAkkad> like jtaji said it's just an Idea for Ubuntu. I heard fedora boot.iso has gui
[06:29] <disappearedng> Is there a way for me to figure out why I am leaking so much memory in my laptop
[06:29] <stduseren_> irc server
[06:29] <mvalviar> Got a problem with the shutdown command. Whenever I use it my pc shows the progress bar screen and never finishes. It doesn't look right because it should be emptying the bar instead of filling it up.
[06:29] <UsamaAkkad> this idea is to save time only
[06:29] <UsamaAkkad> and bandwith
[06:29] <JackDeath> TxB: back up your drive first to make sure you can restore in case partitioning goes astray
[06:30] <stduseren_> disappearedng: what do you mean leaking aren't you new to ubuntu to even notice that?
[06:30] <g4lt-lappy> floatboat, honest-to-goodness acroread?  try adobe support.  other pdf reader?  try their support channels.  if you can do duplex in some app, ubuntu's configured correctly
[06:30] <sekinto> Does anyone know of any third party repositories that provide Gnome 2.26, or will I have to wait until Jaunty?
[06:31] <disappearedng> stduseren_ I have been using linux for 3 years
[06:31] <disappearedng> it's just that I initally thought that my firefox was leaking
[06:31] <UsamaAkkad> it could be minimum iso + gui installer or (live cd - all the unnecessary package to make network install)
[06:31] <floatboat> g4lt-lappy: what's the adobe channel?
[06:31] <disappearedng> I did a testrun yesterday and my firefox went 2.0gb
[06:32] <disappearedng> after that I closed it and this morning I ran "free"
[06:32] <disappearedng> and there was only like 200mb left in my 3gb memory
[06:32] <disappearedng> but then when I hit up gnome-system-monitor there was nothing on "memory" that is larger than 300 mb
[06:32] <stduseren_> well why the heck would you ask how do you not know how to mount usb drive?
[06:32] <Psuedo> I am planning on learning a variety of different Server services. My home-setup already contains a Data-Server (through shares), Web-Server (XAMPP and IIS), Print-Server (with a Printer Intranet Site), Email (Exchange 2007) server & Active Directory (LDAP/DOMAIN). I plan on learning, implementing, configuring and maintaining as well as the aforementioned services, DFS, Cluster-Server, ICS,...
[06:32] <Psuedo> ...Sharepoint, Office Communications Server, RADIUS and AAA. Are there any other Services you would recommend I learn?
[06:33] <kaeles> Is there a way I could make sure that the xorg configuration is set completely back to default?
[06:33] <crdlb> sekinto: jaunty
[06:33] <kaeles> or does the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg do that?
[06:33] <crdlb> kaeles: 'sudo dexconf'
[06:33] <stduseren_> Psuedo: i think you got enough there for a whole year!
[06:33] <jtaji> disappearedng: are you looking at the first or second line of numbers in free?
[06:33] <Psuedo> Have it all done in 10 min
[06:33] <Psuedo> LOL
[06:33] <JackDeath> disappearedng: sounds like the system cache gave the impression that all memory was being used
[06:33] <Psuedo> (I wish)
[06:34] <kaeles> kk, I'll try that crdlb thanks
[06:34] <o0Chris0o> having issues signing the Ubuntu Code of Conduct for launchpad I keep getting an error
[06:34] <jtaji> disappearedng: the one that starts with +/- buffers/cache shows your true used and free memory
[06:34] <sekinto> @crdlb: That's too bad, 2.26 looks like it has some really interesting new features. But I guess desktop environments are dependent on a lot of other things and a lot of other packages would have to be updated to.
[06:34] <MindVirus> Any way to get the progress on a dd?
[06:35] <JackDeath> Psuedo: kerberos, have a two way trust to AD
[06:35] <Droopsta915> yone know how to start firefox in safemode, the tutorial shows the command, but firefox wont start using the terminal?
[06:35] <stduseren_> Psuedo: you should do SAP,
[06:35] <Psuedo> SAP
[06:35] <disappearedng> ok I was looking at Mem: total used and free
[06:36] <stduseren_> disappearedng: WHAT DOES YOUR TOP SAY?
[06:36] <Droopsta915> I got it, i skiped the /path/to/firefox text :)
[06:36] <wrektjet> hey.. i found that there is a g15daemon for the g15 keyboard.. how would i get the daemon for the g11?
[06:36] <jtaji> disappearedng: the first line used/free includes buffers and cache, which are freed when needed
[06:36] <disappearedng> stduseren_ nothing much in particular
[06:36] <Psuedo> stduseren_: Who are you calling a SAP? LOL, not but seriously (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAP) which?
[06:37] <crdlb> sekinto: gnome's release schedule is the reason for ubuntu's 6 month cycle
[06:37] <disappearedng> jtaji: that doesn't solve my problem cause both my cache and RAM memory are all used up that's why my swap was begin to being utilized by my system
[06:37]  * JackDeath yawns
[06:38] <JackDeath> have a good night/day everyone
[06:38] <stduseren_> Psuedo: if you never heard of it, then you probably dont want to go there, its more for large corporations.
[06:38] <stduseren_> Psuedo: www.sap.com
[06:39] <rayne_> What is a partitioning program I can use under Ubuntu?
[06:39] <Psuedo> http://i43.tinypic.com/2rrp9u0.jpg

[06:39] <rayne_> sekinto, thanks
[06:39] <Psuedo> stduseren_: Thanks
[06:39] <ariqs> What does this mean: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/atlas/liblapack.so.3gf: undefined symbol: _gfortran_pow_r8_i4
[06:40] <stduseren_> rayne_: qparted
[06:40] <Psuedo> stduseren_: What does SAP do?
[06:40] <sparky_> this is for anyone who really knows permissions for ubuntu server.  My set-up is Ubuntu Server 8.04.2 with Samba file sharing.  With  both my Mac and WindowXP I can see the share drive and get to the first layer of folders.  Once I try to go any deeper then that there is nothing there to be seen.  I know there are fies there because my XP cpu see the size and number of files in the folders.  I have already ran "sudo chown -R on 
[06:41] <stduseren_> everything they say. seriously i believe it their systems have been used for over 40 years
[06:41] <sekinto> @crdlb: I really have to get off the Gentoo drugs, I'm so used to stuff always being at the latest version to the last digit. xD
[06:42] <stduseren_> well its for business applications in layman's

[06:43] <bony> can any one help me on increaseing the printing speed of my printer? the ppm given by HP 1320 is 22ppm but i am getting 3 or 4 ppm its very very slow
[06:43] <Psuedo> Gotta love bots :P
[06:43] <stduseren_> oh
[06:43] <bony> when i give empty prints then i get the 22ppm speed
[06:43] <bony> can any one help me out on this ?
[06:43] <stduseren_> i am new to irc
[06:44] <Psuedo> welcome
[06:44] <Psuedo> !irc
[06:44] <Psuedo> IRC is multi-player Notepad :D
[06:45] <ariqs> ...
[06:45] <Stepan1> Can anyone tell me step by step how to access a linux printer from a windows machine that is NOT on the same network.  I am getting confused with the many instructions.
[06:45] <sekinto> @Psuedo: Except Notepad doesn't support syntax highlighting. :D
[06:46] <jtaji> bony: those specs are usually on economode with minimal text and built-in fonts
[06:46] <jtaji> bony: though that does sound slow unless the print is really complex
[06:46] <ariqs> What does this mean: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/atlas/liblapack.so.3gf: undefined symbol: _gfortran_pow_r8_i4 <-- what does this mean and how do I fix it?
[06:46] <disappearedng> what's the shortcut for "new tab" for a new terminal tab in gnome terminal?
[06:47] <bony> jtaji, well the print is not that complex it a odt file with out any images
[06:47] <stduseren_> has anyone tried psifur for Xchat?
[06:47] <adiosX> anyone know how to use tor
[06:47] <Psuedo> sekinto: OKay, Multi-Player Notepad2
[06:48] <sekinto> @disappearedng: shift+ctrl+t (hint: all shortcuts for menu entries are listed next to their menu entry)
[06:48] <ashleyw> hey, a script I'm trying to run is asking me to install /usr/bin/time — any idea how? Or where can I find time so I can link it?
[06:49] <bony> jtaji, how to set the properties of the printer to achieve at least 10 ppm
[06:49] <bony> jtaji, or can you guide to places were i can find more help on increasing the speed?
[06:50] <crdlb> ashleyw: the 'time' package, but it should be installed
[06:50] <ashleyw> yeh, the time command works, I just dont know where it is
[06:51] <jtaji> ashleyw: 'which time' in a terminal will tell you, but it should be in that location
[06:51] <ashleyw> which time returns nothing
[06:51] <ron2010> just recently installed ubuntu and having hard time changing resolution
[06:52] <ron2010> can anybody help
[06:52] <ron2010> i know my monitor support higher resolution
[06:52] <kaeles> crdlb: the sudo dexconf didn't help at all either, i've done about everything I can except try reinstalling from scratch
[06:52] <kaeles> that I know of anyhow
[06:52] <ron2010> when i try to change the resolution setting highest setting is 1024x768
[06:53] <ron2010> i know i can higher
[06:53] <ron2010> at least in windows i did :)
[06:53] <SunnyDP> ron2010: depends on the driver you have loaded
[06:53] <ron2010> oh
[06:53] <ashleyw> but "type time" => "time is a shell keyword"
[06:53] <crdlb> ashleyw: there's a bash builtin time too
[06:53] <jtaji> ashleyw: actually that's not installed by default.. sudo apt-get install time
[06:53] <ron2010> how do i find out what drivers are installed?
[06:54] <ron2010> the installation automated everything when i install
[06:54] <ashleyw> awesome, thanks jtaji!
[06:54] <ron2010> i dont remember being asked for drivers during installation
[06:55] <Kimi> in firefox, in Orkut.... if i click any lnk like , scrapbook, or profile .... with middle mouse button.... instead of opening in a new tab. its opening the same tab itself
[06:55] <Kimi> why ?

[06:56] <taz_> hi... i try to start play games www.pogo.com and it said Java Not Found or Not Working
[06:58] <Kimi> taz_ system > adminstration > synaptic manager.... search for ubuntu-restricted extras and install it ... it will solve your java problems
[06:58] <Dreamglider> is there a "inhibitation" button in ubuntu that inhibits inserted media to mount when inserted ?
[06:58] <taz_> kimi: ok i will check right now
[06:58] <Kimi> tar_ provided you have java runtime installed
[06:59] <taz_> kimi: ok what next ??
[06:59] <Kimi> tar_ do you have java runtime installed ?? if not, then do it first from synaptic .....
[07:00] <Kimi> taz_ provided you have java runtime installed
[07:00] <Kimi> do it taz_ from synaptic
[07:00] <Kimi> it will solve  i think
[07:00] <taz_> yes installed
[07:00] <Keal_> i can't get win32 xp sp2 to install :<
[07:00] <taz_> synaptic where ??
[07:01] <jtaji> Dreamglider: file browser (nautilus) preferences, media tab
[07:01] <MiladKhajavi> What is the command for unzipping *.zip files?
[07:01] <acegikmo> hate to be another one asking about wireless in intrepid, but network manager says it's connected to my wireless network, yet pinging give "connect: Network is unreachable"
[07:01] <Kimi> taz_ system > adminstration > synaptic  : search for java and install it
[07:01] <jtaji> MiladKhajavi: unzip
[07:01] <Kimi> taz_ and have you installed ubuntu restricted extras now ?
[07:01] <taz_> kimi: ok and i will look
[07:01] <mib_s01se4w8> hi
[07:02] <Keal_> i can't get win32 xp sp2 to install :<
[07:02] <MiladKhajavi> jtaji: thanks
[07:02] <hateball> !windows | Keal_
[07:03]  * xTheGoat121x is away: I'm either sleeping or out.  Leave a message!
[07:03] <jtaji> !away > xTheGoat121x
[07:03] <Keal_> i just want to stop using ubuntu 8.10 amd64 and use win32 xp sp2, but ubuntu won't let me :<
[07:03] <hateball> Keal_: Go to ##windows
[07:03] <taz_> kimi: synaptic package manger ???
[07:04] <Kimi> taz_ yes..  > system > administration > synaptic  ... search for java and install ...... and then search for ubuntu-restricted extras and install
[07:04] <Kimi> taz_ did it work for you ??
[07:04] <taz_> kimi: i will look for java
[07:05] <hateball> Kimi: Sun java gets pulled down with restricted-extras tho :)
[07:05] <forces> hi!!
[07:05] <simplexio> Keal_: it easy if dont need keep anything .. just fdisk harddrive and remove all partition. reboot and insert xp isntall cd
[07:05] <g4lt-lappy> hateball, you mean IBM java? ;P
[07:05] <Kimi> hateball .. ok.. i dont know it :P ... but however. for some sites , java runtime needed and for others restr extras are need
[07:06] <Kimi> hateball why is it that this is ?
[07:06] <forces> I'm reading about LVM partions, and I understand, LVM is similar to extended partition
[07:07] <taz_> kimi: there many java. which one ??
[07:07] <forces> my question is, why I should use LVM partitions if I can use an extended partition
[07:07] <Kimi> taz_ java run time
[07:07] <g4lt-lappy> Kimi, use th Sun jabva SDK that hateball referred to, it's pretty much guaranteed to be the thing you need
[07:08] <danniz> hey guys, I seem to have problems with postfix / syslogd. after syslogd 'restarts' postfix isn't running anymore.. I have to manually start it from init.d every morning? Ubuntu server 8.10
[07:08] <hateball> Kimi: restricted-extras is just a metapackage that grabs other packages... Like SUN java, Adobe Flash, some w32 codecs, and so on.
[07:08] <Kimi> taz_ instead go to applications > add/remove .. search for java ... then choose runtime
[07:08] <taz_> ok
[07:08] <taz_> there have two java
[07:08] <hateball> forces: LVM is not just an extended partition... it lets you add space to volume groups, practically allowing you to add space to virtual disks
[07:08] <Kimi> hateball ok. thanks .. i now understand,,,
[07:09] <Kimi> taz_ the simple way applications > add/remove > java and choose runtime
[07:09] <taz_> kimi: it already installed with runtime   add/remove
[07:09] <forces> if I have 2 HDD, I can use LVM and looks like a HDD?
[07:09] <hateball> forces: yes
[07:09] <Kimi> taz_ ok.../  then try that site,,,,, but before that why dont you close your brwser and restart it ?
[07:09] <hateball> forces: the alternate installer will help you do that at install-time
[07:09] <forces> OooOOoooo
[07:09] <wrektjet> heres an embarressing one... when i minimize my windows they disappear... where r they going?
[07:10] <taz_> kimi:  i did  few time and nothing happened
[07:10] <forces> hmm! interesting
[07:10] <forces> where can I read more about LVM partions
[07:10] <forces> how to use it, install, create...
[07:10] <hateball> forces: this guide is excellent http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_lvm
[07:10] <Kimi> taz_ have you done ubuntu restricted extras from synaptic ?? i once had the same problem like yours. (though i had java)  but then . i did restricted extras . then those sites worked
[07:10] <forces> can I use LVM for use a SD card like a HDD?
[07:11] <hateball> !who | forces
[07:11] <taz_> kimi: ok where can fix
[07:12] <forces> ??
[07:12] <forces> the question is for everyone
[07:12] <hateball> taz_: make sure you dont have both icedtea and sun java installed, firefox can act weird then
[07:12] <hateball> forces: alright :)
[07:12] <forces> whoever wants help
[07:13] <hateball> forces: well you can mount an SD card just like you mount a harddrive, but putting an SD card and a standard HDD in the same LVM group would be... bad
[07:13] <wrektjet> anyone help me and tell me where my minimzed wndows have gone?
[07:13] <Kimi> taz_ didnt you do that restriced extras thing ???
[07:13] <forces> I wanna do that in my Acer Aspire one
[07:13] <Kimi> wrektjet .. i think its in the next workspace.. scrll your mouse wheel down
[07:13] <hateball> wrektjet: perhaps you've removed the applet from your panel? the one that lets you see minimized windows
[07:13] <taz_> kimi: syapitc package manger show me it which one ?
[07:14] <Kimi> taz_ ubuntu-restricted-extras
[07:14] <taz_> kimi: ok
[07:14] <Kimi> wrektjet did it work frnd ?
[07:14] <wrektjet> hateball
[07:14] <wrektjet> thanks
[07:15] <wrektjet> didnt realize it was its own applet.. only on day 2
[07:15] <redwyrm> my CD/DVD devices disappeared
[07:15] <hateball> forces: you can easily mount the sd card as your /home, or whereever you want to mount it. but remember SD has limited writes, so you'd mount it with appropriate options
[07:15] <redwyrm> both symlinks and device file
[07:15] <forces> u.u
[07:15] <redwyrm> how can I recreate this, and what causes it?
[07:15] <forces> ok, I will read more about that
[07:15] <hateball> wrektjet: Well, good it's sorted :)
[07:15] <forces> hateball, thanks
[07:15] <wrektjet> yep easy. thanks again
[07:15] <hateball> forces: you're welcome
[07:15] <forces> !next
[07:15] <forces> !thanks
[07:16] <Kimi> redwyrm can you explain a little more ?
[07:16] <BePhantom> hello, could anyone help me?
[07:16] <Kimi> !gobuntu
[07:16] <hateball> !anyone | BePhantom
[07:16] <ariqs> I want liblapack 3.2 in hardy. Do I have to compile it myself, or can I grab the package somewhere? cause it's not in package manager
[07:17] <taz_> kimi: can u show me with ur gtk-recordmydesktop.. then send  email me ?
[07:17] <redwyrm> BePhantom, well, not much to explain... I'm using Ubuntu 8.10, and I used to be able to use the CD/DVD drive normally.  suddenly I try it again (maybe a week since then) and it doesn't work
[07:17] <forces> !lvm
[07:17] <redwyrm> could someone do ls -l /dev/scd0 please?
[07:17] <BePhantom> does anyone know how i can access my windows shared network folder from ubuntu 8.10?
[07:17] <hateball> !samba | BePhantom
[07:17] <Kimi> taz_ ??? its ubuntu-restriced-extras frnd... search for ubuntu-restricted
[07:18] <redwyrm> BePhantom, ls /dev/dv* /dev/sc* /dev/cd* gives no results
[07:18] <Kimi> taz_ but i dont know what is gtk recrd desktop // help me with this
[07:18] <hateball> taz_: open a terminal,  type "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" and press enter, and you're done :)
[07:18] <taz_> ok
[07:18] <Severian> BePhantom, I use smbfs to access Windows share.
[07:18] <hateball> !terminal | taz_
[07:18] <|Rad|> hi folks
[07:19] <majnoon> !moo
[07:19] <Kimi> |Rad| hi
[07:19] <Kimi> !gobuntu
[07:19] <Severian> BePhantom, There is more than one way to do.
[07:19] <bullgard4> Why does Ubuntu (Hardy) not provide the file lsconfig? (http://www200.pair.com/mecham/debian/lsconfig)
[07:19] <BePhantom> Severian: an easy way?
[07:19] <Kimi> in xubuntu xchat is defaultly installed. why not in ubuntu 8.10 ?
[07:20] <Kimi> !edubuntu
[07:20] <Kimi> !mac
[07:20] <Severian> BePhantom,   go to synaptic and install the smbfs package.  That has to be done first, and won't hurt in any way.
[07:21] <redwyrm> Kimi, I suspect that they intend people to use Pidgin for IRC
[07:21] <ariqs> Pidgin is horrible for IRC!
[07:21] <redwyrm> yeah, definitely
[07:21] <redwyrm> could someone do ls -l /dev/scd0 please?
[07:22] <redwyrm> I really want to know the major/minor numbers
[07:22] <|Rad|> a problem here, i've purchase a laptop and i installed ubuntu, but in my old desktop pc, i have ubuntu too....now i need the files from the desktop one, i removed the hd from cpu, and i connected to the laptop using an enclosure, and ubuntu's laptop don't recognized the media....so what can i do to have my archives back!!
[07:22] <Kimi> how to use pidgin for irc ?
[07:22] <Severian> Then, issue two commands from your terminal promt to mount the windows shares.    1. sudo mkdir /windowsshare   2.  sudo mount -t smbfs //windowsname/share  /windowsshare -o username=guest,password=guest,uid=name,gid=name
[07:23] <hateball> BePhantom: Places - Connect to Network share, I believe.... Not on English Ubuntu so not sure about the proper translation
[07:23] <SunnyDP> redwyrm: brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 2009-03-19 22:28 /dev/scd0
[07:23] <redwyrm> thanks!
[07:23] <Severian> BePhantom, if you want those automatically mounted, you can add lines to your /etc/fstab to do it when you boot.
[07:24] <BePhantom> hateball: already tried that, it says it cant mount it
[07:24] <Severian> BePhantom, it seems easy to me, but you may have a different opinion.
[07:24] <hateball> BePhantom: Hmm, should just work... but perhaps you have to install smbfs first. Open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install smbfs"
[07:24] <redwyrm> aha! "[ 1091.681359] Driver 'sr' needs updating - please use bus_type methods"
[07:25] <redwyrm> how do I update the sr driver like this message recommends?
[07:25] <Severian> BePhantom, smbfs is not installed by default.  You need to install it, as you were just shown.
[07:25] <redwyrm> it seems like a bad design that they would prevent people from using their CDROM drives simply because their drivers are out of date
[07:25] <BePhantom> ok, doing that right now hateball
[07:26] <hateball> BePhantom: You can also access samba shares from Nautilus by entering "smbfs://ip.to.server/share" in the adress field
[07:26] <|Rad|> nothing here ?
[07:26] <ariqs> redwyrm, I don't know any of the details, but I agree. That's really dumb ;p
[07:27] <BePhantom> after sudo apt-get install smbfs should i be able to use Places - Connect to Network share hateball?
[07:27] <hateball> BePhantom: yeah that should work, as well as what I typed about nautilus
[07:28] <BePhantom> is nautilus the default file brower in 8.10?
[07:28] <BePhantom> browser
[07:28] <swayed> Is there a way to fix Grub using the Live CD ? ? Will not boot.
[07:28] <error404notfound> how can I forcely run all daily crons?
[07:29] <Severian> BePhantom, it is for Ubuntu 8.10, not Kubuntu 8.10 or xubuntu 8.10.
[07:29] <redwyrm> ariqs, actually, I'm wrong. it's not a message for the user. it's a message for the driver developers
[07:29] <error404notfound> forecfully*
[07:29] <redwyrm> saying they need to use a different API or something
[07:29] <magnetron> swayed→ the super grub cd is better fit for that purpose
[07:29] <BePhantom> cool
[07:30] <BePhantom> the file is downloading so it may take time since im downloading another thing
[07:30] <BePhantom> in the meanwhile i have another question about flash
[07:30] <BePhantom> cant make youtube work, i already installed the flash plugin
[07:30] <swayed> magnetron; Can you point me in the right direction for this - or just do a google and go from there?
[07:30] <BePhantom> from FF
[07:30] <magnetron> !grub | swayed
[07:30] <magnetron> !enter | BePhantom
[07:31] <BePhantom> cant make youtube work, i already installed the flash plugin from firefox. Any hints?
[07:31] <swayed> magnetron; Thanks much - appreciate the helping hand.
[07:31] <magnetron> swayed→ cheers
[07:32] <hateball> BePhantom: Make sure you dont have different plugins installed at a time, like swfdec and Adobe flash. Use one or the other
[07:32] <swayed> magnetro; you too!
[07:32] <Severian> BePhantom.  delete flash.  It is awful.   Install gnash, greasemonkey and youtotem.  That will let youtube work.
[07:32] <swayed> magnetron; U 2 !
[07:32] <dr_phd1> hello everyone, i wanted to ask, how do I make my LaserJet 1100A work with Ubuntu
[07:33] <Zozma> so i upgraded my motherboard to a Gigabyte P45 DQ6 and now my ubuntu doesn't want to boot
[07:33] <delfick> hello, how do I change startup programs through the commandline ? (I only have access to the machine in question through ssh so I can't use bum)
[07:33] <BePhantom> hateball: i may have installed flash from adobe home page, i installed the .deb file but it didnt work, then i tried downloading directly from FF, same result
[07:33] <Athenon> my intrepid laptop is running extremely slow.  ill open vuze, for example, and the hard drive runs and runs and runs and runs and maybe 10-15 MINUTES later it finally comes up -_-  any ideas?
[07:33] <ariqs> dr_phd1, pray to the ubuntu gods
[07:33] <Severian> dr_phd1, I suggest printing to it.  That is how I make them work together.
[07:33] <Zozma> seems it can't find the root disk/partition
[07:33] <Zozma> is this motherboard known to be a problem/is there some easy way to find what disk goes where?
[07:33] <dr_phd1> the printer works fine, but the copier and scanner doesn't work
[07:34] <Athenon> and its not just vuze or anything...its like certain programs...and it used to lag real bad on boot too, but not anymore
[07:34] <hateball> BePhantom: The deb file from Adobe doesnt work.  open a terminal and "sudo apt-get remove swfdec-mozilla gnash" && "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree"
[07:35] <hateball> BePhantom: make sure to close/restart Firefox while doing so
[07:35] <bullgard4> Why does Ubuntu (Hardy) not provide the file lsconfig? (http://www200.pair.com/mecham/debian/lsconfig)
[07:35] <ariqs> I'm curious, what is the main difference between linux and freebsd?
[07:36] <Severian> Linux has a better license.
[07:36] <BePhantom> hateball: ok
[07:36] <halycon> Does anyone have any experience getting a Nokia 6121c to work using bluetooth with things like Gammu and Wammu?
[07:36] <doleyb> Linux also has more proprietary support (binary drivers and plugins)
[07:36] <dr_phd1> Severian :  the printer works fine, but the copier and scanner doesn't work
[07:37] <Brando753> is there a way i can uninstall an ubuntu partition on a tri-boot machine?
[07:37] <SkyNetMaster> hi, I cant se some files with nc extention in gedit file browser, how can this be fixed?
[07:37] <doleyb> Brando753: There's nothing to uninstall... just go ahead and install whatever you like on top of it, and it'll be gone.
[07:38] <Brando753> so if i delete the partition it will be fine?
[07:38] <doleyb> Brando753: Well, ubuntu will be gone, your other OSes may be fine... it's up to them.
[07:38] <Brando753> well what about grub will it still show ubuntu?
[07:39] <Severian> dr_phd1, I have only setup a scanner a couple of time.  I think about doing one for myself, but I never needed one. I used the application sane to drive the scanner.  I don't know if it works with your device or not.
[07:39] <doleyb> Brando753: Grub automatically updates those things.  But how well your system will work after is a question for those (unnamed) other OS.
[07:39] <Brando753> Other Ubuntu, Windows :P
[07:40] <doleyb> Brando753: oh two ubuntus, well you shold be fine
[07:40] <Brando753> but what about windows?
[07:40] <Brando753> vista
[07:41] <BePhantom> hateball smbfs finished installing, i go to places and try to connect but i keep getting the same error, something about there's no registered application
[07:41] <Severian> BePhantom.  You may have to reboot to take care of that.
[07:41] <doleyb> Brando753: Since you'll still have ubuntu to handle grub, it will be OK.  If there happens to be a problem, you can go https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[07:42] <Brando753> do you need ubuntu for grub?
[07:42] <trek> where does ubuntu 8.1 store its monitor settings, cause editing xorg.conf and restarting x afterwards doesnt seem to change anything
[07:42] <doleyb> Brando753: Well grub is from linux of some sort.
[07:42] <BePhantom> Severian: ok, will do in a few minutes, cant reboot right now
[07:42] <Brando753> i thought grub was part of the bios and was self-sufficient
[07:42] <Brando753> well installed to the bios :D
[07:43] <pizmooz> the first level of grub is in the master boot record
[07:43]  * Dreamglider didnt manage to dualboot of his flashdisk :/
[07:44] <MindVirus> Any reason to have relatime if I'm going to have noatime?
[07:44] <pizmooz> the bios hands of control to grub, then grub reads the /boot partition and get it's config, then it hands of control to whatever you tell it to
[07:44] <Brando753> well the /boot parition is its own seperate partition right?
[07:45] <Brando753> .
[07:45] <sprinkmeier> MindVirus, they are mutually exclusive. depending on what you do with the disk either one may be more appropriate, but you probably want relatime.
[07:45] <MindVirus> Brando753, not unless you tell it to be.
[07:45] <durt> trek, xorg.conf is the file that 'stores' monitor settings, take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what's happening at start up.
[07:45] <MindVirus> sprinkmeier, I want the least amount of writing as possible.
[07:45] <Brando753> like in the manual install?
[07:45] <MindVirus> I have an Asus Eee 1000 with SSDs.
[07:45] <sprinkmeier> MindVirus, noatime then
[07:45] <MindVirus> Right-o.
[07:46] <Brando753> so do i :P mines a 910 though
[07:46] <MindVirus> "Consider moving your logs to a tmpfs (ram), if you don't think you will need them, it could eliminate lots of writes."
[07:46] <sprinkmeier> Brando753, GRUB = GRand Universal Bootloader. It can boot many things, including Linux, and is included in many linux distros.
[07:46] <Brando753> i installed ubuntu on it :P
[07:46] <MindVirus> How do I do this?
[07:47] <pizmooz> Brando, take a look at the /boot/grub/menu.lst file, just looking at it will probably answer alot of questions
[07:47] <Brando753> ;9
[07:47] <Brando753> ;(
[07:47] <trek> durt: hmm, well i'll do that, but some option i give in xorg.conf are for sure not accepted thought their syntax is correct, where does ubuntu dig up a new xorg.conf whe i delete it?
[07:48] <BadElvis> i have this script rainlendar.sh to start rainlendar. normally, it is one of the first things i run after logging on. how can i automate this?
[07:48] <durt> trek, xorg tries to configure itself without xorg.conf, and then parses xorg.conf for user defined settings. when you erase it,= xorg creates a new blank one.
[07:49] <pizmooz> BadElvis, add it to ~/.bashrc file
[07:49] <swayed> magnetron; Hey the Super Grub CD worked great - writing this from my new 500GB cloned drive - I did a sector to sector clone of a 320GB to this 500GB using Ghost and this would not boot - but it is now thanks to your help. I just need to resize the partition to full 500GB's and good to rock again - thanks again.....   Smiling again!  :o)
[07:49] <pizmooz> exit
[07:49] <Boohbah> BadElvis: or you can add it to /etc/rc.d/rc.local
[07:50] <magnetron> swayed→ i'm glad to hear that
[07:50] <trek> durt: i tried to use a xorg.conf generated by knoppix, deleted xorg.conf and all backups in order to get a fresh one, and what happens? i get the knoppix one which i had deleted...
[07:50] <BadElvis> ok, i will try. brb!
[07:51] <sprinkmeier> BadElvis, log on (.bashrc or KDE/gnome startup) or boot-up (/etc/rc.local)
[07:51] <durt> trek, take another swing at it, what I just described is the way xorg deals with xorg.conf.
[07:51] <dinesh__> which is the best book to start learning linux
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[07:52] <LordKow> i think www.linux.org has some good tutorials
[07:52] <durt> 'sup dog
[07:52] <trek> durt: thx, at least i can now be sure,  the xorg.conf file is touched by ubuntu and will evemntually eat my settings...
[07:52] <hhr> hi
[07:53] <hhr> how can i format an ntfs without changing its filesystem so i can use it with windows too?
[07:53] <ActionParsnip> hhr: formatting wipes the data off
[07:53] <swayed> magnetron; been putting this off for over 2wks - didn't think it would work - but no problem - my old 320gb only had 25gb free - do you suggest using dparted to resize this 500gb ? - it is currently showing as a 320gb - I figured it would by doing the sector by sector clone.
[07:53] <hhr> yes i wanna wipe everything but keep it as ntfs
[07:53] <crdlb> trek: ubuntu will not touch the xorg.conf without asking
[07:53] <ActionParsnip> hhr: you can remove the journal to make it ext2 and use http://fs-driver.org/
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> hhr: oooh i see
[07:54] <mxcool> I got a problem with my ubuntu intrepid ibex when I hibernate it , after rebooting I hav no sound
[07:54] <crdlb> trek: monitor settings are stored in ~/.config/monitors.xml unless you use the nvidia driver
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> hhr: apt-cache search ntfs | grep tool
[07:54] <magnetron> swayed→ i'm not sure about how to do that. some people use gparted, but that's all i know. (there's a gparted live cd as well :D)
[07:54] <hhr> i wanna do it from bash
[07:54] <trek> crdlb: well, what do i have to do to get ubuntu using the settingy in my xorg.conf?
[07:54] <CruX|> hello all will be KDE 4.2 in ubuntu 2009.4 ?
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> hhr: install the ntfstools package and gparted will e able to format ntfs
[07:54] <crdlb> trek: what are you trying to do?
[07:55] <ron2010> anybody help with increasing my resolution?
[07:55] <magnetron> !anybody | ron2010
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> hhr: or an easier way, just delete the partition in windows and format there
[07:55] <sprinkmeier> hhr, why not do it from windows? NTFS write support in linux will always be 'best effort' as MS won't release the specs. I try to avoid writing NTFS (and that includes formatting).
[07:56] <ron2010> does anybody know or can help setup my resolution with two monitors?
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> hhr: well gparted is just a gui for parted but they use the same ntfstools package
[07:56] <hhr> but if it's already mounted, why can't i format it easily like a flash drive?
[07:56] <swayed> magnetron; ah - sorry got my app names mixed up gparted is of course what I meant - will search gparted live cd at google - should be a piece of cake. Thanks
[07:56] <ron2010> how's that?
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> !dualhead | ron2010
[07:56] <Angel> em
[07:56] <Angel> ...
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> hhr: then unmount it with: sudo umount /mount/point
[07:56] <Angel>  
[07:56] <Angel>  
[07:56] <Angel>  
[07:56] <Angel>  
[07:56] <FloodBot1> Angel: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> hhr: you cant format mouted block devices as they will be marked "busy"
[07:57] <trek> crdlb: using nvidia driver, need to enable the custom EDID nvdia option cause my monitor sits behind a kvm switch which doesnt pass theough the monitor setting when probed by xorg, so behind my kvm ubuntu falls back to 640x480, unless i use that edid. bin file generated by nvidia to ovverride probing
[07:57] <hhr> i see
[07:57] <TxB> Will I be able to install my hardware drivers after installing Ubuntu?
[07:57] <hhr> ok after umount then shouldn't be a command that should format it
[07:57] <hhr> just like mke2fs?
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> hhr: pretty much, yes
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> hhr: but you will use an ntfs based one
[07:58] <swayed> magnetron; you think the upgrade to jaunty will be as smooth as the hardy to ibex internet based upgrade was?
[07:58] <crdlb> trek: then X should respect the xorg.conf fully; if it doesn't, it's a problem with the nvidia driver
[07:58] <hhr> so what's the ntfs format command?
[07:59] <trek>  crdlb: so when i use nvidia driver xorg.conf is used for sure?
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> hhr: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=481086
[07:59] <magnetron> swayed→ impossible to say yet, since it's not betatested (only alpha tested). there will be a list of "known issues" on the release page.
[07:59] <sprinkmeier> hhr, mkfs.ntfs. but you need to "sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs"
[08:00] <swayed> magnetron; I thought final rel. was next month April?
[08:00] <hhr> i see ok
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> hhr: sudo mkntfs /dev/<partition name>
[08:00] <hhr> TxB: Ubuntu will install its own drivers with it for your hardware. So no need to wory about that
[08:00] <sprinkmeier> !hcl | TxB
[08:01] <magnetron> swayed→ yes, it's still in alpha testing. the final release will be on April 23rd
[08:01] <sprinkmeier> TxB, with linux most device drivers are built into the kernel. As long as your hardware is on the HCL you shouldn't have to do anything.
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> TxB: you may need drivers for some hardware but 99% of the time they will NOT be on the CD you got with your hardware
[08:01] <MindVirus> "Consider moving your logs to a tmpfs (ram), if you don't think you will need them, it could eliminate lots of writes."
[08:01] <MindVirus> How do I do this?
[08:01] <crdlb> trek: as far as I know
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> MindVirus: ram drive
[08:01] <MindVirus> Eh?
[08:01] <trek>  crdlb: thx, then, i'll keep on trying...
[08:02] <sprinkmeier> MindVirus, http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/16244/
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> MindVirus: you can carve off a secion of your ram as storage, like a hard drive
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> MindVirus: have all logs going there, when you reboot the data will be lost
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> MindVirus: = no more logs
[08:03] <MindVirus> Hmm. Interesting.
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> MindVirus: if you dont reboot it will fill up like any other partition
[08:04] <sprinkmeier> ActionParsnip, MindVirus  rotatelogs should be able to fix that
[08:04] <swayed> magnetron; cool - looking forward to it - not so much for cosmetics but for more hardware support - know what I mean? There are still a few USB Wireless network adapters that are problematic, hope some will be resolved.
[08:04] <bullgard4> Why does Ubuntu (Hardy) not provide the file lsconfig? (http://www200.pair.com/mecham/debian/lsconfig)
[08:05] <sprinkmeier> s/rotatelogs/logrotate/
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> sprinkmeier: i think hes trying to reduce writes to his ssd drive
[08:05] <MindVirus> sprinkmeier, nothing to fix.
[08:05] <MindVirus> I'm just trying to rid myself of logs.
[08:05] <MindVirus> I'm on an Eee.
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> eee are sweeeet
[08:05] <gartral> alrighty, big issue for me today is the lack of ability to completly burn a dvd-R DL disk, all other media types work fine, and the drive is built for +/-R DL disks, but all wrights have failed so far, and i van not afford to waste any more of these disks
[08:05] <sprinkmeier> ActionParsnip, sounds like it. I meant fix the "fills up like any other partition" comment
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> MindVirus: you could use an externel ssd as /tmp /swp and /var to reduce rites to the internal
[08:06] <MindVirus> ActionParsnip, I'm told to use a ramdisk.
[08:06] <MindVirus> Plus I don't have an external.
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> MindVirus: as you wish, its just another option
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> i like to give options
[08:07] <sprinkmeier> MindVirus, EEE has 3 USB ports... just plug in a cheap USB disk and trash that with /tmp and logs
[08:07] <ashwin> hi
[08:07] <IntuitiveNipple> MindVirus: Change the syslog options in /etc/syslog.conf to reduce what is logged. See "man syslog.conf"
[08:07] <ashwin> all
[08:08] <MindVirus> Right.
[08:08] <MindVirus> What's up with the kickass names?
[08:08] <MindVirus> ActionParsnip? IntuitiveNipple?
[08:08] <gartral> !ohmy | MindVirus
[08:08] <MindVirus> Right.
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> MindVirus: mies a harry hill joke
[08:09] <Mozes251> I have a small problem, can i get some help from here?
[08:09] <Diehardy> Hey I need a Vista room
[08:09] <Diehardy> are there any?
[08:09] <ikonia> Diehardy: ##windows
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> Diehardy: ##windows
[08:09] <ikonia> Diehardy: look on freenodes website
[08:09] <sprinkmeier> Diehardy, down the hall, first door to the right
[08:09] <negonicrac_> one question: how is everyone doing backup? sbackup, simple scripts or some other way.
[08:09] <sprinkmeier> negonicrac_, backuppc and external disks
[08:09] <Severian> MindVirus, I am setting up a eeepc with a flash drive tonight, too.  I plan to set the /tmp to a tmpfs.  The referred to page shows one way to do that.  You could do /var/log the same way.
[08:10] <MindVirus> Aye, OK.
[08:10] <Mozes251> Problem: In Places panel I can't find Documents anymore, how can i restore it? When i try with Edit Menus options, i can;t see places
[08:10] <negonicrac_> sprinkmeier: are you mounting the disk at /usr/.../sbackup
[08:11] <Severian> MindVirus, To get fancier, configure logrotate to compress any logs you want and copy them to another directory on the flash drive.
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> Mozes251: drag the folder to the places bar and it will be added
[08:11] <Mozes251> Thank you!
[08:11] <MindVirus> Severian, that's using unneeded writes.
[08:11] <ariqs> my isp's dns server is down, anyone have a web proxy for me to use? :)
[08:11] <MindVirus> Severian, what model? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1028368 if you're on the 1000.
[08:11] <sprinkmeier> negonicrac_, external disks are mounted normally (/media/.....) whenever I remember to do an archive (about once a week).
[08:11] <MindVirus> GREAT guide.
[08:12] <gartral> ariqs: getting slightly OT: i recommend open dns
[08:12] <Severian> you can define unneeded for yourself.  That is a nice thing about Linux.  Whatever writes you think are unneccessary, just leave them out.
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> ariqs: i can give you IPs for a different DNS
[08:12] <ariqs> where do I change that?
[08:12] <sprinkmeier> ariqs, /etc/resolv.conf
[08:12] <sparky_>  ariqs, here are some lvl 3 dns servers   4.2.2.2 4.2.2.3 and 4.2.2.4
[08:12] <Boohbah> ariqs: 4.2.2.3
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> ariqs: gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf
[08:13] <ariqs> thanks
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> 151.197.0.38     151.197.0.39      151.202.0.84
[08:13] <Severian> MindVirus, it is a 1000HA.  I am setting it up for a friend, using an SD card only for storage for now.
[08:13] <gartral> ariqs: either permenetly under your gateway's advanced config, or theres a temp/perm way from within ubunut
[08:13] <MindVirus> Severian, maybe that guide will help you as well.
[08:13] <zhurai-tsuki> hmmm...
[08:13] <Severian> MindVirus, I'll go read it.  Thanks.
[08:13] <MindVirus> It's not just a guide -- it has lots of good ideas for recommended settings.
[08:13] <zhurai-tsuki> ** (firefox:8829): WARNING **: Exception in gr::RangeSegment
[08:13] <zhurai-tsuki>     <-- firefox keeps spitting this out at me
[08:14] <ariqs> ActionParsnip, I changed it in that conf, and it's not working..
[08:14] <zhurai-tsuki> >_> and I don't have ANY extentions on, as well as tried various times to reinstall it
[08:14] <zhurai-tsuki> um.....
[08:14] <zhurai-tsuki> also crashes whenever I download something
[08:14] <zhurai-tsuki> *download anything
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> ariqs: you may need to run: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> ariqs: did you add them with a prefix of 'nameserver'
[08:15] <ariqs> yes
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> good
[08:15] <skop> hi
[08:15] <sprinkmeier> ActionParsnip, ariqs no need to bounce networking (it may, in fact, restore the file using DHCP)
[08:15] <Boohbah> zhurai-tsuki: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/290532
[08:16]  * zhurai-tsuki looks
[08:16] <Severian> MindVirus, I can see something on that page they should change.  The way they setup the tmpfs will consume more ram that I think is prudent.
[08:16] <ariqs> I got errors doing.. sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart . Perhaps I should add that i'm connected via dialup with gnome ppp?
[08:17] <MindVirus> Severian, how would you recommend?
[08:17] <sprinkmeier> ariqs, try something like "host www.ibm.com 4.2.2.4" to bypass any local (mis)configurations
[08:18] <zhurai-tsuki> Boohbah: is it talking about the fonts that I designated within my "System->Preferences->Appearances" ?
[08:18] <ariqs> I can't use the standard ubuntu network stuff under administration because it doesn't like my modem.
[08:18] <LordKow> hey anyone here using pidgin on intrepid or hardy and just got "AIM buddy list unavailable" windows?
[08:18] <Severian> by default tmpfs will take up to half of your ram.  I have 2 GB ram.  I plan to add a size= parameter to limit it to about 300 meg.
[08:18] <zhurai-tsuki> LordKow: no idea what you mean there
[08:18] <sprinkmeier> ariqs, does the host coimmand I gave you give you anything? pastbin it?
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> ariqs: fine then reconnect with the modem and you should be ok
[08:19] <LordKow> zhurai-tsuki, http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/8051/badpidgin.png
[08:19] <Severian> MindVirus, that last message was for you.
[08:19] <MindVirus> Aye.
[08:19] <MindVirus> Thanks.
[08:19] <zhurai-tsuki> o_____________o
[08:19] <MindVirus> So what size= should it be?
[08:19] <ariqs> ActionParsnip, I tried that earlier and then I couldn't reconnect for an entire hour!
[08:19] <MindVirus> I'm thinking 128MB, should I do size=128?
[08:19] <LordKow> its happening in jaunty's pidgin i just wanted to see if its also occurring in hardy or intrepid.
[08:19] <MindVirus> Probably even less.
[08:19] <MindVirus> Maybe 64 or 32.
[08:20] <ariqs> ryan@ryan-desktop:~/Desktop/lapack-3.2$ host www.ibm.com 4.2.2.4;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> ariqs: sounds like you ISP is changing stuff
[08:20] <zhurai-tsuki> ...hmm
[08:20] <Severian> MindVirus, just a moment.  I have to go look that up in my notes.  I think it is more like size=128M   I'll be back.
[08:20] <gartral> LordKow: i have 4 aim accounts, they all connect
[08:20] <MindVirus> Right.
[08:20] <eeg3> How do I disable the new notification system in jaunty?
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> ariqs: try: nslookup www.ask.com
[08:20] <zhurai-tsuki> it's not messing up like that for me
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> !jaunty | eeg3
[08:20] <sprinkmeier> ariqs, ok, sounds more like a routing problem than DNS. Can you ping 4.2.2.4?
[08:21] <zhurai-tsuki> as well as, I'm on intrepid
[08:21] <ariqs> I can ping it
[08:21] <Severian> MindVirus, yes.  size=128M   is right.  I may end up with a value like that.  I have not decided how much my limit should be.
[08:21] <sprinkmeier> ariqs, as ActionParsnip said, maybe your ISP is messing with stuff. DNS lookups have long timeouts, so if ping works DNS should too.
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> ariqs: did the nslookup succeed?
[08:22] <ariqs> ActionParsnip, no
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> ariqs: then dns is at fault
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> ariqs: did it try to use the extra dns servers you added?
[08:22] <Diehardy> What is the best operating system out there?
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> Diehardy: doesnt exist
[08:22] <zhurai-tsuki> personal preference I'd think...
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> Diehardy: best doesnt exist for anything
[08:23] <gartral> alrighty, big issue for me today is the lack of ability to completly burn a dvd-R DL disk, all other media types work fine, and the drive is built for +/-R DL disks, but all wrights have failed so far, and i van not afford to waste any more of these disks
[08:23] <ariqs> ActionParsnip, I don't know? it didn't say either way
[08:23] <sprinkmeier> Diehardy, hurd
[08:23] <Diehardy> XP, Vista, Windows 7, Mac or Linux?
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> Diehardy: you forgot bsd as well
[08:23] <zhurai-tsuki> LINUX 8D
[08:23] <zhurai-tsuki> or whatever
[08:23] <Diehardy> how about out of XP, Vista and windows 7?
[08:23] <zhurai-tsuki> >_> I have only done XP, Vista, vm of Windows 7 that I grabbed for a short while, and Ubuntu linux
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> Diehardy: best only exists as an opinion of a product based on its merits to YOUR OWN personal needs
[08:23] <MindVirus> In fstab, why would I use "defaults"?
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> Diehardy: there is no universal best, or we'd all use it and nothing else
[08:24] <sprinkmeier> Diehardy, again, personal pref. ATM probably XP unless the box came with Vista and it actually works well. 7 isn't out yet, so who knows.
[08:24] <gartral> Diehardy: that particular question belongs in ##windows
[08:24] <ariqs> Actionpimp: I just rechcked my resolv.conf, and I see I had a typo. It works now, sorry to waste your time ;)
[08:24] <sprinkmeier> MindVirus, 'cos "defaults" are sane and usually work.
[08:24] <ariqs> rechecked, too. HAHA
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> ariqs: hehe np man
[08:24] <MindVirus> Right, but is it redundant?
[08:24] <Diehardy> I have a trial version of Windows seven
[08:24]  * ActionParsnip hands ariqs a facepalm
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> Diehardy: its offtopic here
[08:24] <Diehardy> and I cant install or play some of the things I used to be able to on my XP
[08:24] <sprinkmeier> MindVirus, "defaults" is a placeholder in case you wnat to provide other options
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> Diehardy: its offtopic here
[08:25] <gartral> sprinkmeier: your forgetting there puvlic beta, wich, imho 7 could very easily replace xp
[08:25] <hateball> "ot
[08:25] <hateball> !ot
[08:25] <MindVirus> Let's say I want to include noatime,mode=1777,size=64M.
[08:25] <Severian> Diehardy, Syllable is the obvious choice.
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> Diehardy: head to ##windows or #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:25] <gartral> wine | Diehardy:
[08:25] <gartral> !wine | Diehardy:
[08:25] <MindVirus> sprinkmeier, ^^
[08:25] <MindVirus> Does that automatically include defaults?
[08:25] <kura2> !virtualbox
[08:25] <zhurai-tsuki> XD
[08:26] <kura2> nice
[08:26] <sixofour_> how do you use a .unox ?
[08:26] <zhurai-tsuki> technically also VMware if you want to be complete (as well as parallels)
[08:26] <dandre> Hello,
[08:26] <dandre> I am using a fork of putty (kitty: http://www.9bis.net/kitty/?page=Accueil) on windows for the autologon capability. Is there any ssh client with autologon capability on ubuntu?
[08:26] <FloodBot1> dandre: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:26] <dandre> I am not flooding
[08:27] <zhurai-tsuki> lol.
[08:27] <sprinkmeier> MindVirus, honestly don't know, my fstabhas "defaults,OTHER_OPTIONS..." so I'd do that :-)
[08:27] <zhurai-tsuki> Boohbah: I'm just using Serif.  I somehow doubt that's the right bug I was trying to get rid of...
[08:27] <doleyb> dandre: Yes, you can autolog in many ways.  But notice that putty itself is available for ubuntu.
[08:28] <sprinkmeier> dandel, AFAIK all ssh clients (ncluding putty and the default ssh client on ubuntu) have auto-login
[08:28] <sixofour_> what can i use to mount an .iso image?
[08:28] <dandre> how can I autologon?
[08:28] <MindVirus> sprinkmeier, apparently defaults is implicitly assumed.
[08:28] <sprinkmeier> sixofour_, "mkdir foo ; sudo mount -o loop FOO.iso ./foo"
[08:28] <ActionParsnip> !autologin
[08:28] <MindVirus> sprinkmeier, one only needs "defaults" if it's the only thing in that field.
[08:29] <gartral> !login
[08:29] <sprinkmeier> sixofour_, I've seen nautilus ad-ons that automate this, never botherd with them though.....

[08:31] <ActionParsnip> gartral: how fast are you burning?
[08:31] <tehjai> Hello, Im a bit new to Ubuntu and I have a newbie question. Provided anyone can help me.
[08:31] <sprinkmeier> !ask | tehjai
[08:31] <tehjai> well ok
[08:32] <gartral> ActionParsnip: 2.4x
[08:32] <Kimi> what is ubuntu pastebin ?
[08:32] <gartral> !kimi | pastebin
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> gartral: cool
[08:32] <sprinkmeier> !pastebin | Kimi
[08:32] <dandre> ActionParsnip: I don't want to autolog in gdm but in my ssh connexion
[08:33] <tehjai> I am using PureAdmin for a GUI interface on my ftp site. I created a user to connect to my server and set the folder I want them to be able to download from but they have access to every other account. Is there a way I can just lock them to that folder and sub directories?
[08:33] <gartral> ActionParsnip: the drive supprts 4x, the media 2.4
[08:33] <sprinkmeier> Kimi, it's a way of quickly sharing a few lines of text (typically log output or conf file) without spamming IRC
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> dandre: ive not got a clue then, do you mean when you connect via ssh you want your password already entered?
[08:33] <Kimi> ok.. but what is spamming irc mean ?
[08:34] <dandre> I am seen sshmenu-gnome can this application auto log ?
[08:34] <gartral> !spam | kimi
[08:34] <sprinkmeier> tehjai, chroot? vsftpd has options to restrict users to certain directorues
[08:34] <dandre> yes ActionParsnip
[08:34] <ActionParsnip> dandre: ok thats cool, let me check
[08:34] <tehjai> sprinkmeier, that's my issue. Im confused as to how to do that.
[08:34] <ActionParsnip> dandre: btw, loggin on via ssh isnt gdm
[08:35] <tea_ovedose> Hi, how to fix the following: W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 6AF0E1940624A220
[08:35] <sprinkmeier> dandre, script can be sue to log any/all terminal activity.
[08:35] <tehjai> but I think it's a pureftp configuration
[08:35] <sprinkmeier> tehjai, you mena you wnat to set up a chroot jail but don't know how?
[08:35] <tehjai> right
[08:36] <tehjai> i dont mind them accessing the folder on my main login(not root) but I dont want them to be able to leave the folder or the other dirs in it.
[08:36] <gartral> ActionParsnip: the drive supprts 4x, the media 2.4
[08:36] <sprinkmeier> tehjai, it's been a while... changing FTP servers to one that can enforce user restrictions (vsftp) might be easier
[08:36] <tehjai> ok

[08:38] <hotte-> wie mach ich es, dass nen startscript durch nen befehl im terminal aufgerufen wird?
[08:38] <sprinkmeier> tea_ovedose, how familiar are you with concepts like "web of trust"? the answer is long and complicated if you're not :-)
[08:39] <hotte-> sry fc
[08:39] <Sauvin> Hotte-, gibt es kein kanal #ubuntu-de?
[08:39] <sprinkmeier> !de | hotte-
[08:39] <Kimi> hotte- are we allowed to speak other languages than english here ?
[08:39] <sprinkmeier> hotte-, oder PM mich, Ich spreche deutsch
[08:39] <halycon> does anyone know of a way I could install a large amount of deb packages without having to double click on each one?
[08:39] <tea_ovedose> sprinkmeier: thanks for reply XD I am a newbie don't know anything about it acutally haha
[08:39] <Kimi> ARE WE ALLOWED TO ASK IN OTHER LANGUAGES ??
[08:39] <Sauvin> Kimi: nope.
[08:40] <hotte-> i said sry fc already ;) fc = false channel.. i will try it in #ubuntu-de
[08:40] <hotte-> omg^^
[08:40] <Kimi> sauvin then see .... what hotte is talking . i cant understand
[08:40] <Linx> german
[08:40] <Linx> ^^
[08:40] <hotte-> 10 answers about language.. sry for that..
[08:40] <tehjai> thank you
[08:40] <sprinkmeier> tea_ovedose, a primer site on gpg might be in order :-) basically your system doesn't know if it can trust the file, and it doesn't know anyone to ask.
[08:40] <Sauvin> I do that all the time :D
[08:40] <Kimi> I KNOW FRENCH.... AM I ALLOWED FRENCH HERE ?
[08:40] <Linx> nope
[08:40] <Linx> :D
[08:40] <ActionParsnip> !fr
[08:40] <gartral> kimi no
[08:41] <hotte-> Kimi: no.. so stop talking with caps.. it was my false.
[08:41] <Sauvin> Kimi, il n'y a pas de canal #ubuntu-fr?
[08:41]  * Sauvin hides
[08:41] <Kimi> gartral then how others are talking ?
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> Kimi: if you can type english, hang around, if not i'd suggest the other rooms
[08:41] <gartral> in english
[08:41] <Kimi> OK.. understood
[08:41] <dandre> ok thanks ActionParsnip
[08:41] <gartral> ActionParsnip: the drive supprts 4x, the media 2.4
[08:42] <tea_ovedose> sprinkmeier: aha, will it disable the msg if I # the source url ?
[08:42] <ActionParsnip> gartral: maybe the media is too slow (?)
[08:42] <ActionParsnip> gartral: have you used this media ok before?
[08:42] <gartral> ActionParsnip: yes, 2 years ago
[08:42] <sprinkmeier> gartral, there are lies, damn lies and product specs :-) try again slower
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> gartral: burn as slow as the drive will physically allow
[08:43] <sprinkmeier> tea_ovedose, yes, but then you'll miss out on whatever is in that repo. If you trust the repo, import their key. If you don't trust it, don't use it :-)
[08:44] <gartral> sprinkmeier ActionParsnip i need to be %1599 sure that this *will* work, i can not afford another batched disk!
[08:44] <Kimi> now , is there any other room for Xubuntu ??
[08:44] <sixofour_> how do i mount an .iso?
[08:44] <Linx> gmountiso^^
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> gartral: OSS has zero garuntees or SLA
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> sixofour_: sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /media/cdrom0
[08:45] <gartral> yes, but at $8 a peice where i live, there  expensive
[08:45] <sprinkmeier> gartral, no guarantees in this life except death and taxes...
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> sixofour_: or change /mount/point to some other directory you wish to use
[08:45] <tea_ovedose> sprinkmeier: it's just the ubuntu-tweak so i guess I can so what trust it... therefore, can you please teach me how to restore that key ?
[08:45] <sprinkmeier> sixofour_, the mount command I gave you didn't work?
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> gartral: i'm just telling you how it is
[08:46] <sixofour_> can't find foo.iso in in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[08:46] <sprinkmeier> tea_ovedose, as root, run "gpg --recv-keys 6AF0E1940624A220"
[08:47] <Kimi> is there any other room for xubuntu ?? its not showing when i start Xchat client.... i just choose ubuntu servers and connect to it.... how to connect to xubuntu ?
[08:47] <sprinkmeier> sixofour_, replace "foo.iso" with the path/name of the .ISO file you're trying to mount.
[08:47] <Linx> kimi /join #xubuntu
[08:47] <tea_ovedose> sprinkmeier: key recive server failed: bad uRI
[08:48] <sixofour_> i repalced it with foo.iso when i pasted it :P
[08:48] <sixofour_> it doesn't find the iso in those folders so it won't work
[08:48] <sixofour_> perhaps another command or option?
[08:48] <tea_ovedose> sprinkmeier: nvm I'd typo the key string haha
[08:48] <Kimi> linx thanks....!
[08:49] <Kartagis> does anyone know if there is a Ubuntu 8.04/10 repository that has Pidgin 2.5.5?
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> sixofour_: you need the command i gave
[08:49] <sixofour_> which?
[08:49] <ikonia> Kartagis: no there is not
[08:49] <sprinkmeier> sixofour_, if mount can't find the .iso file I don't see why something else should...
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: ;)
[08:49] <sixofour_> its looking in the wrong palce sprinkmeier
[08:50] <sixofour_> it says it can't find it in those directories...its not in those directories
[08:50] <sprinkmeier> sixofour_, give it the complete path?
[08:50] <sixofour_> i did
[08:50] <sixofour_> it still looked in the wrong ones
[08:50] <Linx> kimi np
[08:50] <sprinkmeier> sixofour_, "mkdir /tmp/foo ; sudo mount -o loop /path/to/foo.iso /tmp/foo"
[08:50] <ActionParsnip1> sixofour_:  sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /media/cdrom0
[08:50] <ariqs> Kartagis: I got 2.5.5 from some deb repository. I had to update another library to get it to work, however
[08:51] <ActionParsnip1> sixofour_: you need to edit the paths to poit to the iso files and mount point you wish to use
[08:51] <Kimi> Linx i dont know why no one is replying in xubuntu box
[08:51] <Linx> kimi mom
[08:51] <ActionParsnip1> Kartagis: if you do us the getdeb version you will need to uninstall it if you decide to upgrade to jaunty next month
[08:52] <Kimi> Linx what is mom ??
[08:52] <ActionParsnip1> Kartagis: or it will break version numbers and cause issues galore
[08:52] <sixofour_> so it mounted..how do i access it?
[08:52] <ActionParsnip1> !mom
[08:52] <ActionParsnip1> sixofour_: cd /media/cdrom0; ls
[08:52] <sprinkmeier> sixofour_, "cd /tmp/foo"
[08:52] <Kimi> is there any way.. to capture whatever is going in ubuntu's screen and save it to a VIdeo file ?
[08:52] <ActionParsnip1> sixofour_: the mount point you specified is how you access it
[08:52] <Kimi> !mom | Kimi
[08:53] <sprinkmeier> Kimi, I think it's called cairo
[08:53] <ActionParsnip1> sixofour_: just filebrowse to it like any other folder you own in the way of your choosing (cli ,thunar, pcman, nautilus etc)
[08:53] <Kartagis> ActionParsnip, then let me ask this. can I get 2.5.5 from a jaunty repo?
[08:53] <ActionParsnip1> Kartagis: not if you arent running jaunty
[08:54] <Kimi> sprinkmeier do you mean cairo of egypt ?? i cant understand what this is doing here.... sorry explain
[08:54] <sprinkmeier> Kartagis, yes, but be prepared for dependencies hell.
[08:54] <ActionParsnip1> Kartagis: jaunty are for jaunty, intrepid repos are for intrepid. they are seperate for a reason
[08:54] <ActionParsnip1> Kartagis: i wouldnt go mixing stuff up like that unless you want a big mess
[08:55] <sprinkmeier> Kimi, there are a number of desktop video recording packages. If you grep the IRC logs for the last few days you should find the last discussion about them. I believe one of them is called cairo.
[08:55] <ariqs> I chose a big mess. Otherwise I couldn't even talk on ICQ anymore!
[08:55] <Kartagis> ActionParsnip1, thanks
[08:55] <Kartagis> sprinkmeier, you too
[08:56] <bibimidi> hey
[08:56] <ActionParsnip1> Kartagis: if its essential
[08:57] <Daemon> How do i fix this?
[08:57] <ActionParsnip1> Kartagis: then use the getdeb version but remember to uninstall when the time comes to upgrade
[08:57] <corinth> Is it possible for me to install linux-backports-modules-intrepid in 8.04.1?
[08:57] <Boohbah> Daemon: how do you fix what?
[08:57] <crdlb> corinth: no
[08:57] <corinth> I need the update so that my wireless will work.
[08:58] <Kartagis> ActionParsnip1, the only reason is because icq has problems here
[08:58] <baaba> hi, i'm trying to compile a driver (http://sourceforge.net/projects/video-2-1394/) but it fails because it wants to include ieee1394_core.h and a few other headers, which i can't find in the linux-headers-generic package (but can in the kernel source package)
[08:58] <Kartagis> and #pidgin support requires 2.5.5
[08:58] <baaba> i'm kinda new to kernel/driver compilation; does this mean the kernel package wasn't compiled with that driver?
[08:59] <corinth> crdlb: That backports-modules package, is that just a kernel update, or what?
[08:59] <Boohbah> baaba: did you install the kernel source?
[08:59] <crdlb> corinth: it's some kernel modules
[08:59] <ActionParsnip1> Kartagis: ive seen folks in here with the same issue, i advised them as I have you, use the new one just pull it off later as jaunty has the new version in it and the version numbers will cause issues as packed based systems are fragile
[08:59] <baaba> Boohbah: package 'linux-source'?
[08:59] <corinth> crdlb: How do I gain support for it in 8.04.1? I need the ath5k driver working
[09:00] <baaba> or 'linux-headers-2.6.27-11-generic'
[09:00] <baaba> (i have both)
[09:00] <crdlb> corinth: I don't know of an easy way; why not upgrade to 8.10?
[09:00] <baaba> i tried find . -name ieee1394_core.h in /usr/src to no avail
[09:00] <tea_ovedose> sprinkmeier: thanks for the guide.. maybe I will just download the deb package instead of put my dirty hands into the key lol
[09:00] <Kartagis> thanks ActionParsnip1 , maybe i will upgrade from the getdeb version
[09:00] <baaba> then i unpacked the tar.bz2 from the 'linux-source' package, and the source tree contains ieee1394_core.h
[09:00] <corinth> crdlb: I use gOS. A distro upgrade would break several things. I just need the one module so that my wireless is working.
[09:01] <baaba> but the source tree lacks configuration in some way or another and i have no idea what to do about it exactly
[09:01] <crdlb> corinth: well, you can't use a module from a different version of the kernel
[09:01] <baaba> previously when i've compiled drivers the linux-headers-* packages have been sufficient
[09:02] <corinth> crdlb:  Well then, what about this: Can I add my Intrepid CD into my repos list, and upgrade both the kernel and add the modules?
[09:02] <CodeWar> I m on intrepid...somewhere along the lines of picking up fresh updates my wireless card just stopped working ... is there a device manager ( windows ) equivalent where I can query my device to see if tis working
[09:02] <baaba> so as the file is in the kernel source package but not in the headers package, i'm wondering if it was left out via some autoconf flag or via dpkg
[09:03] <baaba> if it's just dpkg then i could just copy the needed headers over
[09:03] <crdlb> corinth: if you're very careful, maybe, but it would be completely unsupported
[09:03] <corinth> I don't mind unsupported. I'll give it a try in a VM first

[09:07] <Guest75357> Ok
[09:07] <baaba> if there's someone well versed in compiling drivers it'd be awesome if they could try compiling the driver i linked above (http://sourceforge.net/projects/video-2-1394/) and see what's missing (i'm running intrepid)

[09:07] <baaba> because i'm at my wit's end :)
[09:07] <halycon> is there some way you can have dpkg automatically download and install all the missing dependencies of a package?
[09:07] <ActionParsnip1> !compile
[09:07] <enquest> My harddisk is almost full. But I don't have that much on it. Is there a way to get an good overview where the space went to...
[09:08] <sprinkmeier> halycon, that's what apt-get, aptitude and synaptic are for
[09:08] <ActionParsnip1> halycon: if you get dep issues after dpkg run: sudo apt-get -f install
[09:08] <enquest> du -ch /home takes forever!
[09:08] <sprinkmeier> enquest, baobab
[09:08] <ActionParsnip1> halycon: and it will install them for you if you have them on your repo
[09:08] <ActionParsnip1> enquest: get faster drives, raid or have less data
[09:09] <baaba> ActionParsnip1: yes i've checked that; my problem is the linux-kernel-heaers packages are missing ieee1394_core.h which is nevertheless present in the linux-source package
[09:09] <enquest> spinkmeier baobab what is that?
[09:09] <sprinkmeier> enquest, a GUI utility program which graphically displays disk usage.
[09:09] <baaba> but the latter is not (afaict) really intended for compiling drivers against, and is not properly configured for such usage
[09:09] <ActionParsnip1> baaba: then get both
[09:10] <halycon> ActionParsnip1, oh how awesome I think it is doing it
[09:10] <ActionParsnip1> baaba: if it has the .h file you need for your kernel version then who cares
[09:10] <ActionParsnip1> halycon: ;)
[09:10] <baaba> ActionParsnip1: because there must be a reason for its omission from the kernel-headers package
[09:11] <kraut> moin
[09:11] <ActionParsnip1> baaba: ask the repo maintainers or the author of the package
[09:11] <MadsRH> Hi. Is there a terminal command that will show system information? I want to know the model of my mainboard?

[09:12] <MadsRH> sprinkmeier -> Thanks
[09:12] <MrAlexandro> if i isntalled ubuntu and want to use slackwares boot loader as main boot loader(lilo). should i reinstall ubuntu now. selecting grub to install in root. or is it a way i can install grub on the ubuntu partition after installing ubuntu?
[09:13] <sprinkmeier> !grub | MrAlexandro
[09:13] <ActionParsnip1> MrAlexandro: if you have slackwares boot loader nstalled, add an entry to the lilo conf to boot ubuntu
[09:14] <MrAlexandro> reason i ask is because now i can not add ubuntu to the lilo loader because it says sda2(ubuntu) parittion has no boot sector
[09:14] <gartral> burning 6.6 gigs of info at 1x is INSANSE
[09:15] <MrAlexandro> i think it need to have a boot loader on the partition i installed ubuntu on. i think i can remember ahving the option to choose to put grub on the parittion of ubuntu and not as the main boot loader.
[09:15] <MrAlexandro> that might solce the problem
[09:15] <MrAlexandro> but that was in the installation
[09:17] <ActionParsnip1> MrAlexandro: as long as there is grub / lilo on a disk and it is congured right you can use any disk
[09:18] <MrAlexandro> yeah, but could i be right about that, if you choose grub as main boot loader, you do not install any boot files on the parittion of the ubuntu install?`
[09:19] <MrAlexandro> but that ubuntu uses main boot loader directly?
[09:21] <jumbers> Does anybody know how I can make a folder on my Ubuntu Server, in my home directory private? I don't mean by permissions, because they can be circumvented by root. I'm looking for true privacy
[09:21] <MrAlexandro> i am new to this, but i kind of like to experiment with it. that is why i set up a quad boot
[09:21] <ActionParsnip1> MrAlexandro: the will be in /boot/lilo/<whatever>   or for grub its /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:22] <MrAlexandro> ok, but you can instlal grub on the partition of ubuntu which in my case is sda2 right?
[09:22] <MrAlexandro> or am i over my head now?
[09:23] <Duesentrieb> hi all - a while ago, i installed some font packages, and now I have strange effects of odd glyphs getting picked. numbers, colons, tildes etc "sometimes" use a different font. and suddenly change when i change something close to them. happens in kde apps as well as gnome apps, but as far as i see only in editable text.
[09:23] <gartral> jumbers: encrypt them?
[09:23] <Duesentrieb> any idea what it could be? I tried uninstalling all suspicious stuff, but it didn't help.
[09:23] <ActionParsnip1> ikonia: got a sec dude, i have a suggestion
[09:24] <Duesentrieb> what could trigger such "magic" glyph replacement? I don't even know where to start searching.
[09:24] <jumbers> gartral: I'm looking for a way to keep them accessible, so that I don't have to roll them into tars or something like that
[09:25] <Frogzoo> MrAlexandro: afaik, there's a pointer inserted in the mbr that points to the grub loader, which can be placed anywhere - but I'm not sure if putting grub in a filesystem will mess it up
[09:25] <MrAlexandro> ok, the reason i ask is because i got an error trying to put in ubuntu in lilo. i mananged to put in windows and osx86 but not ubuntu
[09:26] <MrAlexandro> could it be that i need an zImage file like under slackware it has image = /boot/vmlinux
[09:26] <Frogzoo> oh, I think there's a size limit as to how far into the disk you can put grub
[09:26] <MrAlexandro> like a linux thing maybe?
[09:27] <gartral> jumber encrypting them will make so only your acount on your computer can decrypt and read them it doesnt compress them
[09:28] <gartral> jumbers:  encrypting them will make so only your acount on your computer can decrypt and read them it doesnt compress them
[09:28] <haaga> Hi there. Anyone tried the nslu2 version of Ubuntu?

[09:29] <WebGuest> hi. potential new user here. which version is it best to use, intrepid or hardy?
[09:29] <Guest62195> god dangit why does the partitioner take forever
[09:29] <gartral> jumbers sorry, i dont know th command
[09:29] <Guest62195> It's not even at 1% yet!
[09:30] <toby-chen> hey guys - something is thrashing the Beelzebub out of my HDD
[09:30] <thanhsang> #ubuntu-vn
[09:30] <haaga> WebGuest: depends.. i use intrepid for desktop and hardy for servers
[09:30] <toby-chen> anyway I can track disk activity by process? htop?
[09:30] <gartral> !partitioning | Guest62195
[09:30] <WebGuest> haaga, it will be for a desktop
[09:31] <Guest62195> thanks gartral but I just came to complain, there isn't much I can do besides wait
[09:31] <WebGuest> haaga, i read that intrepid has an issue with cd's not ejecting properly, is that correct?
[09:31] <haaga> WebGuest: dunno, haven't got any cd on my intrepid machine ;)
[09:31] <WebGuest> haaga, ah, ok. :)
[09:31] <haaga> got it on a netbook
[09:32] <gartral> Guest62195: how big is the drive, whats the connection type, ill give you a loose estimate
[09:32] <joetheodd> WebGuest, that sounds like a machine-specific issue. I doubt that it's very common so far past release
[09:32] <WebGuest> i gather intrepid is the latest release?
[09:32] <haaga> WebGuest: but I have noticed that a HP i use runs much better on hardy
[09:32] <MrAlexandro> Frogzoo i am trying it out. will let you know
[09:32] <haaga> yeah, for a month, then it will be jaunty
[09:33] <joetheodd> WebGuest, Intrepid Ibex is the latest, until next month when Jaunty Jacolope comes out.
[09:33] <haaga> or is there a official release date for Jaunty?
[09:33] <joetheodd> Yeah, one sec.
[09:33] <mgolisch> next month?
[09:33] <ThanhSon-VIE> Hi, I use pidgin ang i can send group on Ubuntu, but can't on Windows XP
[09:33] <WebGuest> joetheodd, well i tried an install of intrepid yesterday, but what seems to happen is, when you eject the cd, the drive bay door closes again very quickly. i almost lost my haqnd trying to grab the CD! ;)
[09:33] <haaga> yeah, April is all that I know so far
[09:34] <haaga> Does it happen on hardy?
[09:34] <WebGuest> 23/4/09
[09:34] <joetheodd> WebGuest, go to your desktop and click Eject from the CD's context menu

[09:35] <corey> so I have a question, I have a seagate and when I plug it into my usb it detects it but i cant view the files that is in it. Help me?
[09:35] <WebGuest> haaga, no, fine with hardy
[09:36] <WebGuest> joetheodd, is that the workaround for the cd und intrepid?
[09:36] <joetheodd> !info mount
[09:36] <joetheodd> WebGuest, that's the proper way of doing it. How I'd do it, at least.
[09:36] <corey>  so I have a question, I have a seagate and when I plug it into my usb it detects it but i cant view the files that is in it. Help me?
[09:36] <joetheodd> corey, you have to mount the partition first.
[09:36] <corey> JOetheodd how do i do that?
[09:37] <WebGuest> i've just searched google, appears to be a bug in intrepid, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/udev/+bug/283316
[09:37] <ThanhSon-VIE> a question, I have a seagate and when I plug it into my usb it detects it but i cant view the files that is in it. Help
[09:37] <WebGuest> thanks joetheodd
[09:37] <Kruxer> how can i create dialup connection using NetworkManager?
[09:37] <ThanhSon-VIE>  Hi, I use pidgin, i can send group on Ubuntu, but can't on Windows XP, Help Me please !
[09:37] <joetheodd> WebGuest, did that work for you?
[09:37] <Kruxer> should I go to DSL tab?
[09:38] <corey> WoW, I've even looked on forums and when i ask a quesiton they just tell me to do something i also don't know how to do
[09:38] <hateball> ThanhSon-VIE: you should try ##pidgin for such a specific issue

[09:40] <hateball> DarkWork: Choose recovery mode from the Grub boot menu
[09:41] <Muhammad_Saad> What if I want to make a live image (exact copy) of my installation.
[09:42] <Muhammad_Saad> similar to what this tool does: http://www.linux-live.org/
[09:42] <joetheodd> DarkWork, I'm not sure how to do that, but if you hit ctrl+alt+f1 it'll send you to a different tty (basically, give you a login prompt)

[09:43] <IceyBlack> hi all
[09:43] <guest> i want to use flash player ... but the official version does not work
[09:43] <guest> hi
[09:43] <les> Muhammad_Saad: http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html  Its a GNU program that uses dd. It can create a full disk image.
[09:43] <joetheodd> !flash > guest
[09:44] <hateball> guest: The Adobe 64bit should work quite fine, altho the deb doesnt. You'll have to grab the tar and untar it
[09:44] <sprinkmeier> guest 64-bit flash is problematic. one solution is to run 32-bit FF with the 32-bit flash player.
[09:44] <hateball> sprinkmeier: no need these days, adobes 64 bit works fine
[09:44] <rww> guest: install the flashplugin-nonfree package, or download http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.22.87.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz and extract it to ~/.mozilla/plugins/
[09:45] <guest> i try, mom polz
[09:45] <sprinkmeier> hateball, good to know! my HW is still 32-bit, but I'm interested in going '64
[09:45] <ActionParsnip1> guest: get the 64bit flash tar.gz file and put the .so in it into ~/.mozilla/plugins
[09:45] <joetheodd> rww, does the flashplugin-nonfree package work on 64bit? I'm about to install it meself.
[09:45] <hateball> sprinkmeier: also, Sun Java plugin works fine on 64-bit, so there's no reason to stay on 32bit
[09:45] <hateball> joetheodd: the package in 8.10 will download the 32bit + wrapper
[09:46] <ActionParsnip1> guest: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.22.87.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
[09:46] <rww> joetheodd: It did last time I used it. I switched to downloading from Adobe's site out of curiosity, though, and didn't go back.
[09:46] <joetheodd> rww, sounds like the safe bet. /poweruser time!
[09:46] <sprinkmeier> hateball, except for the fact I've for 32 bit hardware :-)
[09:46] <Frogzoo> how to find why apt is keeping an upgrade back??
[09:47] <ActionParsnip1> Frogzoo: you can freeze an app version in apt
[09:47] <Ranakah> it's safe to upgrade intrepid to jaunty right now?
[09:47] <Frogzoo> ActionParsnip1: nope - "The following packages have been kept back:"
[09:47] <rww> Ranakah: Jaunty is still in development, so no, not particularly.
[09:47] <sprinkmeier> !jaunty | Ranakah
[09:47] <hateball> Ranakah: It's still alpha. That said, I've used it for weeks with no (huge) problems...
[09:47] <Ranakah> okay tnx :D i try it now :)
[09:48] <mst__> my sound stopped working, it looks like i have a pulseaudio problem :(
[09:48] <sprinkmeier> Ranakah, depends on your definition of 'safe' :-) probably OK for messing about, I wouldn't run office servers on it
[09:48] <rww> Ranakah: when it inevitably breaks and messes things up, 1) we told you so, 2) ask in #ubuntu+1, not here.
[09:48] <joetheodd> Ranakah: But on the flipside it -promises- to break your system in very bad ways. You've been warned. :)
[09:48] <sprinkmeier> !pulse | mst__
[09:48] <Frogzoo> there's no promises - running alpha WILL break things
[09:49] <Ranakah> my definition of safe is: working sound and video on radeon 1950 and downloading.. that's all i want
[09:49] <Ranakah> :)
[09:49] <ActionParsnip1> Frogzoo: aaah i see
[09:49] <ActionParsnip1> Frogzoo: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[09:49] <Frogzoo> ActionParsnip1: :p
[09:49] <ActionParsnip1> Frogzoo: will install those (only install them if you  need them0
[09:49] <hateball> Ranakah: The fglrx driver does not work with Jaunty

[09:54] <sprinkmeier> ubunewbie, upgraded from what?
[09:54] <ubunewbie> sprikmeier, from 8.04 using the package manager.
[09:55] <sprinkmeier> ubunewbie, so your HW should be reasonably compatible. Did you have to do anything special to get it to work with 8.04? Do you have a 8.10 live CD? Does that work?
[09:56] <ubunewbie> sprinkmeier, i don't have a cd for 8.10, just for 8.04. the error message is about my screen. i have a new HP screen that was working fine but it is not recognized now.
[09:57] <ubunewbie> sprinkmeier, no nothing special was done to get it to work with 8.04.
[09:58] <Frogzoo> ubunewbie: can you boot to recovery mode?
[09:58] <sprinkmeier> ubunewbie, what's the last thing you see? BIOS? grub? ubuntu splash screen?
[09:58] <Alex23> csumi
[09:59] <Alex23> van fent vki?
[09:59] <ubunewbie> sprinkmeier, well now i see just the command prompt. it asked me to log in which i did. and put in my password. and now it looks just like when i'm working in the terminal.

[10:00] <skinnymg1> hey everyone need some help, how do i find out what video output im using in ubuntu
[10:00] <ubunewbie> sprinkmeier, it does the grub and then the splash screen and then it gives me an error msg and asks if i want to view error info and then after that it goes to the terminal.
[10:01] <hhr> just was wondering that if somebody exploited my machine with a reverse shell payload, what will the "last" command display?
[10:01] <sprinkmeier> ubunewbie, sounds like an X problem then. boot into recovery mode and choose "fix X configuration (or something like that)"
[10:01] <skinnymg1> hey everyone need some help, how do i find out what video output im using in ubuntu
[10:02] <manuel_> hi
[10:02] <sprinkmeier> hhr, depends on the exploit and how well it cleans up after itself.
[10:02] <manuel_> is it possible to use hibernate with encrypted home partition? do i need the passphrase?
[10:02] <manuel_> thans
[10:02] <manuel_> k
[10:02] <ubunewbie> sprinkmeier, will do. btw i'm writing to you on my wife's laptop that's how messed up my computer is. brb and thank you for your help.
[10:04] <Tuxist> hi
[10:04] <skinnymg1> hey everyone need some help, how do i find out what video output im using in ubuntu
[10:04] <Tuxist> i have problem with my nfs server http://pastebin.com/m61aaa0b
[10:04] <sprinkmeier> skinnymg1, plug a monitor in it and see if it lights up?
[10:04] <Tuxist> pam have bo problems with kerberons and the kdc have no error
[10:05] <skinnymg1> i mean the name of the output im using
[10:05] <Guest62195> i found a kitty
[10:05] <skinnymg1> im trying to configure the resolution with xrandr but i need to find the output name
[10:05] <milligan_> How can I check what is using my soundcard?
[10:06] <ubunewbie> sprinkmeier, did anyone ever tell you that you are a genius. thank so much. i'm back in business. cheers.
[10:06] <sprinkmeier> skinnymg1, like "dvi" or "vga"?
[10:06] <skinnymg1> yes
[10:06] <sprinkmeier> ubunewbie, there's a first for everything :-) Glad I could help!
[10:07] <sprinkmeier> skinnymg1, look at the shape of the plug and then look for pics on wikipedia or similar. VGA = D-shape connector with 3 rows of pins.
[10:07] <skinnymg1> i know what a vga and dvi is
[10:07] <skinnymg1> i need to know which one is bein used
[10:07] <Prophecy7> I got a question... Iv just installed linux and Instead of booting to vista first in the boot menu can i get it to boot into linux instead ????
[10:08] <sprinkmeier> skinnymg1, I'm sorry, I don't understand the problem. If xrands wants "dvi" or "vga" and you're using the DVI plug then isn't that it?
[10:09] <o0Chris0o> !dualboot | Prophecy7
[10:09] <sprinkmeier> Prophecy7, you want to change the "default=" line in /boot/grub/menu.lst.  curious... I thought ubuntu was the default boot option in grub?
[10:09] <UsamaAkkad> hello, some one installed ubuntu on C and now he can't boot windows, can you help?
[10:09] <skinnymg1> ok let me tell you what i have i have a dual vga head 5500fx video card and im trying to figure out which vga port is being used
[10:10] <hhr> UsamaAkkad: the partition is over written?
[10:10] <sprinkmeier> skinnymg1, closer to MB is usually vga0. usually :-)
[10:10] <Prophecy7> Thankyou guys

[10:11] <stealth-> anyone know of any linux utility to convert .3g2 files to other formats and vise versa?
[10:11] <Alex_21> How do you install AWN with Fluxbox?
[10:11] <Alex_21> Is Fluxbox or XFCE lighter?
[10:12] <stealth-> fluxbox
[10:12] <UsamaAkkad> no it's not over written it was on D
[10:12] <UsamaAkkad> but the bootloader was on c
[10:12] <UsamaAkkad> windows one
[10:12] <stealth-> Alex_21: in my opinion, xfce is a cut down version of gnome running different base programs
[10:12] <Alex_21> How do you install flash from the command-line?
[10:13] <christoz> Alex_21,  dpkg -i adobepackage
[10:14] <Alex_21> Thanks
[10:14] <ActionParsnip1> Alex_21: you could download the tar.gz and copy the .so file to ~/.mozilla/plugins
[10:14] <Alex_21> So can I use persistant menus with Fluxbox?
[10:14] <Guest62195> I need a good handle
[10:16] <ActionParsnip1> Alex_21: sure
[10:17] <Alex_21> I thought that was a Gnome only thing
[10:17] <ActionParsnip1> Alex_21: open your current menu and it wil show you its reading one in /usr some place (i think)

[10:17] <Kimi> how do i play rmvb videos
[10:17] <ActionParsnip1> Alex_21: if you copy that file to ~/.fluxbox/menu it will not change
[10:17] <Alex23> fuck
[10:18] <ActionParsnip1> Alex_21: you will have to manually add stuff if/when you install apps
[10:18] <UsamaAkkad> hhr, are you still here?
[10:18] <Kimi> vlc is not playing rmvb video
[10:18] <jussi01> !language | Alex_21
[10:18] <ActionParsnip1> Kimi: you need real player
[10:18] <ActionParsnip1> !realplayer | Kimi
[10:18] <Alex_21> No, like the menus in OS X where they are all at the top and they don't move
[10:18] <Kimi> is it in synaptic ?
[10:18] <Kimi> is it in synaptic ? can i get it ?
[10:19] <jussi01> Kimi: read th linked pages...
[10:19] <Kimi> huh.. ok
[10:19] <Frogzoo> woohoo - shiny new kernel
[10:19] <sprinkmeier> Frogzoo, nothing beats that new kernel smell.....
[10:19] <ActionParsnip1> Kimi: the links are for a reason
[10:19] <Frogzoo> it's true
[10:19] <ActionParsnip1> Kimi: if it was in synaptic id have said "check synaptic"
[10:20] <Alex_21> Anyone here use AWN?
[10:20] <ActionParsnip1> Alex_21: doesnt work in fluxbox
[10:20] <Alex_21> What does it work with?

[10:21] <Alex_21> Any OS X like dock that works with Fluxbox?
[10:21] <Alex_21> Is there any?
[10:21] <ActionParsnip1> Alex_21: if you installed fluxbox ontop of ubuntu you can use gnome based docks

[10:24] <maxagaz> when a kernel is compiled from source on a machine, do i need other files than the new kernel file generated to make it work on another machine ?
[10:25] <Lint01> why does Linux installation with default software take 3+GB? What can be done to reduce it?
[10:25] <ActionParsnip1> Lint01: use synaptic to uninstall the fluff you dont need
[10:25] <Frogzoo> Lint01: try a smaller (non desktop) distro - eg. puppy linux
[10:25] <Kimi> Actionparsnip1 is it free ?? it says Non FREE
[10:25] <billenium> Does Ubuntu work on ARM-arch processors?
[10:25] <ActionParsnip1> Lint01: its a bugbear to "cater for all"
[10:25] <ActionParsnip1> Kimi: no, real player is proprietary
[10:25] <Frogzoo> maxagaz: yep - you likely need kernel modules for changed hardware
[10:26] <maxagaz> Frogzoo, and that's all ?
[10:26] <Kimi> ActionParsnip1 what do that mean ?
[10:26] <Kimi> plz i am not an advanced in this
[10:27] <Kimi> then can  i convert this rmvb to avi or something like this ?
[10:27] <Frogzoo> maxagaz: sure
[10:27] <ActionParsnip1> Kimi: proprietary is the opposite of open sourced
[10:27] <sprinkmeier> Kimi, I've used oggconvert, not sure if it can handle rmvb (no idea what that is)
[10:27] <Alex_21> Thanks so much
[10:27] <Alex_21> Good night
[10:28] <ActionParsnip1> Kimi: a company makes it and only they have the code so noone but them can improve it
[10:28] <ActionParsnip1> Kimi: once you get the codec you can use mencoder / ffmpeg to convert to the well documented / tried and tested avi
[10:28] <Kimi> ActionParnsip1 is installing it and using free ??   i mean , the closed source that you gave
[10:29] <ubd> http://pastebin.com/mb903cb4 can someone help?
[10:29] <ActionParsnip1> Kimi: windows is proprietary, MAC OS is proprietary, flash is proprietary, Linux is not, firefox is not
[10:29] <ActionParsnip1> Kimi: oh yes youcan use it FOR free, but the source is not FREEly available
[10:29] <sprinkmeier> Kimi, "free" is used in 2 ways, "free as in beer" aka gratis aka "you don't have to pay", and "free as in speech" aka "libre" aka "you can get the source code and mess with it if you want"
[10:30] <Kimi> thanks sprinkmeier , now i understand

[10:35] <Kimi> !spam | Kimi
[10:36] <ikonia> bullgard4: what ar eyou trying to do ?
[10:36] <bullgard4> I am trying to use this command.
[10:36] <ikonia> bullgard4: which command ?
[10:36] <Kimi> i am learning basic linux commnds
[10:36] <bullgard4> ikonia: The command 'net time'.
[10:36] <Kimi> nowm how do i get 10 numbers and add them ?
[10:37] <ikonia> bullgard4: ok - so net time is for use in a samba DOMAIN - is your machine part of a samba domain ?
[10:37] <vak> hi all
[10:37] <ActionParsnip1> ubd: you need to compile it
[10:37] <Kimi>  i mean, it should ask "enter number 1" num 2 and upto 10
[10:37] <Kimi> then it should
[10:37] <ActionParsnip1> ubd: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ieee80211/+bug/68687
[10:37] <Kimi> display the sum
[10:37] <Kimi> hwo to do it ?
[10:37] <FloodBot1> Kimi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:38] <ActionParsnip1> Kimi: you'll need a bash script
[10:38] <bullgard4> ikonia: Yes, it is. This domain may not be functional at the moment as the other computer in the LAN is switched off though.)
[10:38] <Kimi> what is that ???
[10:38] <vak> I'd get some hardware to run there virtually a few ubuntu copies. can any1 give me a good start point for such a server solution?
[10:38] <ActionParsnip1> Kimi: its like a dos batch file but far more powerful
[10:38] <Kimi> ok..
[10:38] <ActionParsnip1> Kimi: i'd suggest you jump into #bash
[10:38] <Kimi> but how to make it ?
[10:39] <ikonia> bullgard4: thats why then
[10:39] <ikonia> bullgard4: it is querying the domain master for the time
[10:39] <jpds> Kimi: http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/index.html
[10:39] <Some_ux> hi, I can't seem to mount one of my HDDs how do i diagnose a problematic HDD ?
[10:39] <Kimi> jpds i will read
[10:40] <Kimi> thanks and i am closing this
[10:41] <ikonia> bullgard4: if you read the error message "can't contact server" it is explaining it can't contact the server that gets time from (for what ever reason, it's turned off maybe)
[10:42] <bullgard4> ikonia: I will get informed what a Samba domain master is.
[10:42] <ikonia> bullgard4: the domain master is the server that is the "domain controller" for your domaain
[10:42] <ikonia> bullgard4: how did you setup a domain without knowing what the domain master is ?
[10:42] <SkyNetMaster> hi, my xorg goes nuts usgin upp to 100%, Im on ubuntu 8.1 with gnome, what can be wrong?
[10:43] <Some_ux> how do i diagnose a bad disk ?
[10:43] <ikonia> Some_ux: depends what you want to look for
[10:43] <bullgard4> ikonia: You will not believe it: I managed to set up a functioning Samba domain. All myself.
[10:43] <Slayer> Hello. Is there anyway you can change desktop environment w/o reinstalling Ubuntu?
[10:43] <thatsmyboy> is there a more specific irc channel for audio / audacity / audacious / jackd?
[10:43] <ikonia> bullgard4: I do believe it - but I don't know how you can do that if you don't know what the domain master is  ?
[10:43] <simplexio> Slayer: yes
[10:43] <sprinkmeier> Some_ux, smartmontools can run a S.M.A.R.T. check. Some disks come with vendor utils (usually windows only)
[10:43] <Some_ux> ikonia : Well, it stopped working :)
[10:44] <Slayer> simplexio: how then?
[10:44] <ikonia> Some_ux: define stopped working
[10:44] <simplexio> Slayer: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop if recall it right, of xubuntu-desktop.. or offcourse if you dont want all that stuff you can try install xfce or kde etc etc
[10:44] <simplexio> Slayer: and when you login in you change default enviroment
[10:44] <Some_ux> ikonia: Sometimes it mounts on boot, other times it does not
[10:44] <Slayer> simplexio: ty.
[10:45] <ikonia> Some_ux: is it a physical internal hard disk, or an external / usb one
[10:45] <sprinkmeier> Some_ux, get a replacement and dd_rescue across as much as you can
[10:45] <Some_ux> ikonia: it is an internal SATAII disk, used as a data folder
[10:46] <sprinkmeier> Some_ux, Oh... PC power-supply up to scratch?
[10:46] <Kartagis> how can I view .p12 certificates in linux?
[10:46] <Some_ux> when i try to : ls /data  produces the following: Input/output error
[10:46] <ikonia> Some_ux: what file system is on it, is it a linux file system or a windows NTFS/fat one ?
[10:46] <Some_ux> ikonia ext3
[10:47] <Some_ux> is there no  fsck /data ? or something
[10:48] <ikonia> Some_ux: is it in your fstab ?
[10:48] <Some_ux> ok, so when i do this: sudo fsck /data , I get: /dev/sdd1: clean, 27538/61054976 files, 41221193/244190000 blocks
[10:48] <sprinkmeier> Some_ux, the problem you describe (intermittent mount on boot) sounds like a physical drive problem. run SMART test to confirm, but get ready to buy another disk.
[10:49] <Some_ux> Ok, I'll try to unmount and remount it
[10:49] <ikonia> Some_ux: is it in your /etc/fstab file
[10:49] <Some_ux> i think so
[10:49] <Some_ux> sec
[10:50] <Some_ux> I think i added something in fstab
[10:50] <ikonia> Some_ux: check if it is
[10:50] <chao> hey
[10:51] <Some_ux> Yeah, I added this line:

[10:55] <ActionParsnip1> chao: sure, smbmount it
[10:56] <sprinkmeier> chao, lots of ways... NFS, samba, sshfs

[11:08] <natrixnatrix89> Hi. Is there a command in bash script to do something with a delay? for example if I want to make a script that would launch an application with like 60 second delay..

[11:08] <sprinkmeier> MrAlexandro, nano is a fairly friendly editor. Hotkeys for saving/exiting are displayed at the bottom of the screen. I suggest you edit a few test files to get used to nano and then edit the menu.lst file (after making a backup copy of it!)
[11:09] <styol> is there a way to take an ubuntu install, make it auto-start an application when it starts up, and let it do nothing else (maybe unless there was some secret way to not enter the sandbox)?
[11:10] <MrAlexandro> sprinkmeier so there is no way i can edit and save in text editor. like maybe by copying grub list and then replacing using a terminal command?
[11:10] <natrixnatrix89> Hi. Is there a command in bash script to do something with a delay? for example if I want to make a script that would launch an application with like 60 second delay..
[11:11] <sprinkmeier> MrAlexandro, "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" should give you a graphical editor capable of writing the file. You can then use X copy/paste to copy in the changes you made in the editor that refuxes to save. Otherwise, "save as->/tmp/menu.lst" and "sudo cp /tmp/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[11:11] <sprinkmeier> natrixnatrix89, sleep

[11:12] <sprinkmeier> styol, kiosk mode? How secure do you want it (i.e. will the user have a keyboard, will things like REISUB have to be hobbled?)
[11:13] <kamikaze1> Anyone any Idea?
[11:13] <RichardWolfVI> Hey, how do I shange the view for the file picker? The list view is not good for picking images.
[11:13] <RichardWolfVI> *change
[11:13] <styol> sprinkmeier: thanks for responding... keyboard input will likely be needed, as well as mouse support... i just dont want them to be able to do anything but this full screen air app i have
[11:14] <jrib> RichardWolfVI: at the top under the file menu there is a drop down menu
[11:15] <RichardWolfVI> jrib: The file picker does not have menus, as far as I'm concerned.
[11:15] <jrib> RichardWolfVI: ah I see now.  You can't then
[11:15] <RichardWolfVI> *file picker=file chooser
[11:16] <RichardWolfVI> What a shame, it's a nice thing I remember from XP :/
[11:16] <sprinkmeier> styol, not even sure where to begin... I'd probably end up with a customised live CD, that way even if they manage to mess things up all I have to do is RESET :-) google for KIOSK mode (but that usually assumes mouse only, no keyboard, so you'll have to do extra work to disable the keyboard)
[11:16] <jrib> RichardWolfVI: you can probably use nautilus and then drag the file into the file picker name entry (try)
[11:16] <hhr> does linux has an e-mail server like somebody@linux.com?
[11:16] <styol> sprinkmeier: interesting... wouldnt be possible to start up and just load an application? i already have an adobe air app ready to go and it appears to be linux capable (adobe air as an application)
[11:17] <styol> sprinkmeier: is it ok if i PM you?
[11:17] <RichardWolfVI> hhr: You mean a server application for e-mail?
[11:17] <hhr> instead of yahoo, hotmail etc...
[11:17] <ActionParsnip1> hhr: its offtopic for here
[11:17] <RichardWolfVI> hhr: Hmm, "linux.com" is an owned domain by somebody, you may ask them for something like that.
[11:17] <hhr> just wondering if anybody know about it
[11:18] <Boohbah> hhr: linux is a kernel, not a webmail service
[11:18] <rtw37262> hhr: linux is not a commercial company
[11:18] <hhr> didn't mean that
[11:18] <Vinceman> !rpm
[11:18] <hhr> i meant i want to make an e-mail that is like   myname@linuxor something .com
[11:19] <bazhang> hhr, please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[11:19]  * Pur needs some advanced NIC setup help if anyone is knowledgeable
[11:19] <Boohbah> hhr: please read about how the internet works
[11:19] <RichardWolfVI> hhr: You must get a host that supports that, I'm not known of one available to the public.

[11:28] <darkham> every cd freak in this channel contact me in private, please.
[11:28] <Ocol> I ran the first command, but the second says no such file or directory
[11:28] <RichardWolfVI> Ocol go to your home folder, you can open the file from Nautilus

[11:30] <ActionParsnip1> Ocol: just make sure your terminal is pointing to home (default for a new terminal window)
[11:30] <Ocol> Oh, now it did something
[11:30] <Ocol> After I put your command
[11:31] <Ocol> My terminal is pointing to my home I think, it gives :~$
[11:31] <Ocol> What do I do after I ran the command you said?
[11:32] <RichardWolfVI> buyaka: blacklist the bluetooth module
[11:32] <RichardWolfVI> buyaka: I'm not sure if you have to blacklist some more
[11:33] <Ocol> Hmm
[11:33] <Ocol> I figured it out I think

[11:36] <tparcina> Ubuntu 8.10 fresh install - when I have finished installation computer is allways restarting. What might be a problem?
[11:37] <PC_Nerd> Hi - I attempted a "cat file" - which I wasnt sure of the doctype on.. and now all my terminal commands appear on screen  (along wiht their output) - as weird characters (like when you open a binary file in notepad)
[11:37] <PC_Nerd> any suggestions
[11:37] <Ocol> Ubuntu takes much to take used to. :P
[11:37] <Ocol> get*
[11:37] <RichardWolfVI> tparcina: Please explain.
[11:37] <sprinkmeier> tparcina, how far does it get? what's the last thing you see? have you tried recovery mode?
[11:37] <sprinkmeier> PC_Nerd, type "reset"
[11:37] <PC_Nerd> ty
[11:38] <RichardWolfVI> Ocol: It's improved a lot, driver issues now are nothing compared of what it was a couple years ago.
[11:38] <tparcina> RichardWolfVI: I have make fresh installation of Ubuntu 8.10. when instalation was over I have take out CD and press enter. Now my computer allways restarts :(
[11:38] <PC_Nerd> thank! - working
[11:38] <sprinkmeier> PC_Nerd, cat-ing binary files can mess up your terminal (has to do with ANSI escape codes). use "less FILENAME" instead, safer!
[11:38] <hhr> http://www.linuxmail.org/scripts/common/index.main?signin=1&lang=us   is that a linux e-mail server like yahoo and hotmail?
[11:38] <Ocol> Umm, I hope I'll just get the wireles working
[11:38] <tparcina> sprinkmeier: when it needs to start booting (he checks the memory, shows HDD-s and then it restarts)
[11:38] <Ocol> I think its installing the drivers or something now..
[11:39] <sprinkmeier> tparcina, do you get the GRUB menu?
[11:39] <RichardWolfVI> tparcina: How is it restarting? Can you log on, get to the splash screen, to GRUB?
[11:39] <tparcina> sprinkmeier: I haven't try recovery mode yet. First I would like to check what's wrong
[11:39] <alfie> hi
[11:39] <RichardWolfVI> hhr: It seems so.
[11:39] <tparcina> sprinkmeier: no, I don't get GRUB menu
[11:40] <RichardWolfVI> tparcina: Does the BIOS start? Whan does it reboot?
[11:40] <alfie> hi, new here , wanna chat with someone
[11:40] <sprinkmeier> tparcina, if GRUB hasn't even loaded then it might be a HW problem (i.e. can't be Linux, it hasn't even touched that yet). try the live CD again and run the RAM checker.
[11:40] <rhineheart_m> hello.. what's your recommende app use to remote administer ubuntu desktop?
[11:40] <tparcina> RichardWolfVI: I don't know why it reboots. THat's what I'm trying to find out

[11:41] <Ocol1> !flash | ocol
[11:41] <Ocol1> Uh.. it's cool
[11:41] <jrib> alfie: do you have a support question about ubuntu?
[11:41] <ZachFlem> ActionParsnip1, I dont have any of the dir's listed in the second page you mentioned.
[11:41] <sprinkmeier> rhineheart_m, "ssh -X", then start your GUI apps. Or VNC
[11:41] <tparcina> sprinkmeier: before I have done this installation I head ubuntu 8.04 server running on it, so it's small chance it's memory or hardware... :( but I'll test them
[11:42] <alfie> newbee in ubuntu
[11:42] <Ocol1> What the heck?

[11:42] <Ocol1> Flash isn't possible for 64?
[11:42] <jrib> Ocol1: it is...
[11:42] <ActionParsnip1> ZachFlem: you could make them
[11:42] <Ocol1> " Adobe currently provides the latest version of Flash for Linux x86 only. "
[11:42] <RichardWolfVI> Ocol1: You can run the 32 bit version, but it's not nifty
[11:42] <Ocol1> Ehm..
[11:43] <Ocol1> I can't use computer without flash. :P
[11:43] <ZachFlem> ActionParsnip1, thanks i wasnt sure if that was the case or there was something that needed to be pointed at those dirs =)
[11:43] <jrib> Ocol1: that's correct (non-beta at least).  Installing flashplugin-nonfree will work anyway though
[11:43] <RichardWolfVI> Ocol1: They're developing a 64-bit one, but it's still very premature.
[11:43] <Ocol1> Could any of you.. ehm.
[11:43] <RichardWolfVI> Ocol1: Flash WILL work
[11:43] <ActionParsnip1> ZachFlem: empty dirs wont hurt
[11:43] <Pur> anyone in here familiar with and or use webmin?
[11:43] <giarca> about flash anyone have to disable like me "hardware acceleration" setting? (in 64bit os with plugin wrapper)

[11:45] <Ocol1> How long it can take to "make" a driver folder.. o.o
[11:46] <RichardWolfVI> Ocol1: You mean to compile?
[11:46] <RichardWolfVI> Ocol
[11:46] <ikonia> Ocol: a directory should be made in miliseconds
[11:46] <ikonia> Ocol: to compile a module is an unknown time as it has a lot of dependencies
[11:46] <useruser> i still need you i still care about you the way everything's been said and i still feel you like i'm right beside you but there's still no word form you no~ i wish i could find you just like you've found me and i will never let you go~ the way everything's been said and i yeah i still feel you like i'm right inside but there's still no word from you
[11:46] <jrib> useruser: do you have a support question about ubuntu?

[11:52] <RichardWolfVI> !downgrade|Ranakah
[11:52] <Ocol> Booring.. It takes so long to make those files :l
[11:52] <OptimusPrime> Ranakah: Jaunty is roughly 15% better than Intrepid. Why would you want to downgrade?
[11:52] <RichardWolfVI> Ocol: You're compilig source code, be patient.
[11:52] <Ranakah> OptimusPrime cause fglrx realy don't work :D and that sux for now :(
[11:52] <mrwes> OptimusPrime: what makes it better?
[11:52] <Ocol> Umm, does the sudo make take so much time too?
[11:53] <OptimusPrime> I like Jackalopes more than Ibex's
[11:53] <rtw37262> Ranakah: btw, jaunty is not supported here, it is not even released
[11:53] <RichardWolfVI> Ocol: I may advise you there were easier ways to get your wireless working (mine was supported natively, so it was easy, though)
[11:53] <Ocol> ?
[11:53] <Ocol> How come?
[11:54] <RichardWolfVI> Ranakah: Jaunty doesn't work with fglrx yet, you should have read that before downloading.
[11:54] <rtw37262> !jaunty | Ranakah

[11:55] <RichardWolfVI> ZachFlem: Are you using Xubuntu?
[11:55] <ZachFlem> it was a cli install with xfce dumped on top of it
[11:56] <RichardWolfVI> Ocol: You can install ndiswrapper from the repos and get it to use the windows driver you have.
[11:56] <ZachFlem> RichardWolfVI, i have a gtk themes i want to install.

[11:59] <Ocol> Can I do other things beside the wifi file compiling, like install flash or something btw?
[11:59] <ariqs> it's as up to date as can be with ubuntu
[11:59] <jrib> Ocol: yes
[11:59] <RichardWolfVI> Ocol: As long as you don't close anything, yes
[11:59] <jrib> Ocol: it's pretty rare to need to compile things... have you checked:
[11:59] <jrib> !wifi | Ocol
[11:59] <RichardWolfVI> ariqs: What application are you running?
[12:00] <ZachFlem> RichardWolfVI, i have put the theme i have downloaded into the ~/.themes/ folder, but it doesnt appear in the "User Interfaces" list.... am i looking in the wrong place?
[12:00] <Ocol> Jrib, I don't need the wireless docs but thanks :)
[12:00] <jrib> ZachFlem: did you leave it as a tar.gz?
[12:00] <ariqs> RichardWolfVI, what is the meaning of the error? the program can't see the library?
[12:00] <jrib> Ocol: if you are compiling wifi drivers, you should look at them
[12:00] <Ocol> umm?
[12:00] <RichardWolfVI> ariqs: Both the command and the output.
[12:00] <ZachFlem> jrib, no, i extracted it to a folder inside the ~/.themes/
[12:00] <Ocol> I'm looking at their own docs
[12:01] <jrib> Ocol: "their own docs"?
[12:01] <Ocol> there was a guide how to do it
[12:01] <ariqs> ./linreg: error while loading shared libraries: liboctave.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[12:01] <jrib> ZachFlem: then maybe the theme is not properly structured
[12:01] <Ocol> The guide, jrib
[12:01] <RichardWolfVI> ariqs: create a simlink to the library on the same folder the app is
[12:01] <ZachFlem> i might try another
[12:01] <Ocol> Umm.
[12:02] <jrib> Ocol: you understand I have no idea when you say "The guide", right?
[12:02] <KingWilliam> Sunstriker, hi mate
[12:02] <ariqs> a what now? ;P
[12:02] <Ocol> Umm, sory

[12:02] <philsf> does anyone know if there is a ppa with firefox 3.1 beta/3.5 for hardy?
[12:02] <Sunstriker> KingWilliam hi!
[12:02] <Ocol> But I'll restart now :)
[12:02] <Ocol> See you in a bit
[12:02] <Ocol> And i'll report if the wifi starteed to work :o
[12:03] <ZachFlem> RichardWolfVI, i extracted the contents into a folder called DarkSide
[12:03] <RichardWolfVI> ZachFlem: Close the theme manager and reopen it.
[12:03] <ZachFlem> RichardWolfVI, ive done that a few times now
[12:04] <RichardWolfVI> ZachFlem: can you send a screenshot of the application?
[12:04] <ZachFlem> RichardWolfVI, which application? the one i am using to choose the themes?
[12:04] <satansaunt> there may be an exploit that affects irssi- i'm not sure but it appears that there's a malicious script that allows someone else to disconnect me from a certain network- nothing came up from the virus scan. is there another way to make sure that nothing is awry?
[12:05] <RichardWolfVI> ZachFlem: Yes.
[12:05] <jrib> satansaunt: may I test you?
[12:05] <ZachFlem> RichardWolfVI, the program i am using to select themes is "xfce 4 user interface settings" from the settings manager

[12:11] <Ocol> Does anybody know if there will be a flash for AMD 64 coming as the 32 bit version runs slower than normally
[12:12] <ariqs> "hard link not allowed for a directory"
[12:12] <r3dux> 64 bit flash works fine -- get latest ver (not in repos)
[12:12] <jrib> Ocol: there's a beta, yes
[12:13] <Ocol> I'm running this: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[12:14] <RichardWolfVI> ariqs: did you try sudo ln -s /usr/lib/octave-3.0.0/liboctave.so liboctave.so (assuming you cd to the app folder)
[12:14] <narsil> http://www.radio21.ro/site/Radio21Live.m3u
[12:14] <RichardWolfVI> Ocol: Flash 64 is in development, I told you
[12:14] <Ocol> Yeh
[12:14] <RichardWolfVI> !spam|narsil
[12:15] <narsil> ok  sorry
[12:16] <ariqs> RichardWolfVI, I didn't have -s in there, but I just tried it with -s, and it still doesn't work
[12:16] <JogL> hi
[12:16] <JogL> ubuntu farts when I press certain keys, how to disable this?
[12:16] <JogL> I have already disabled sounds in sound settings
[12:16] <RichardWolfVI> ariqs: Can you describe more about the app you're using?
[12:17] <DIFH-iceroot> JogL: sudo rmmod pcspkr
[12:17] <DIFH-iceroot> JogL: unloading the kernel-modul for the speaker
[12:17] <JogL> DIFH-iceroot: is there a way to disable just for desktop/gui, not system-wide?
[12:17] <DIFH-iceroot> JogL: check the sound-settings
[12:18] <JogL> DIFH-iceroot: I disabled all in  system > preferences > sound
[12:18] <DIFH-iceroot> JogL: sorry then i dont know, i am alway unloading the kernel-modul
[12:18] <JogL> thx
[12:22] <Ocol> Hmm.. is itunes possible in any other way than Wine for ubuntu?
[12:22] <r3dux> Jogl > System sounds... disable 'em all?
[12:22] <bazhang> Ocol, vm with windows perhaps?
[12:22] <RichardWolfVI> Ocol: What do you mean?
[12:22] <Ocol> That is there an itunes version for ubuntu :P
[12:22] <Ocol> or something..
[12:23] <bazhang> Ocol, of course not
[12:23] <Ocol> hm..
[12:23] <bazhang> Ocol, there are many fine alternatives however
[12:23] <Ocol> Just wondering how I can manage my iphone without itunes.

[12:32] <BlueAidan_work> anyone have a laptop using intel xorg driver?
[12:32] <BlueAidan_work> I'm getting horrible opengl performance. (~320fps on glxgears)
[12:32] <Angeliki> hi, i need some advice about ubuntu and DOMjudje
[12:33] <RichardWolfVI> BlueAidan_work: Are you using compiz?
[12:33] <brendon1> hello everyone
[12:33] <quibbler> !welcome | brendon1
[12:34] <BlueAidan_work> RichardWolfVI: well, I'm using xfce4, and the compositor is off
[12:34] <useruser> freebse, yes
[12:34] <Ocol1> Is there a program to check processor heat for ubuntu?
[12:34] <freebse> Ocol1
[12:34] <freebse> lots off

[12:35] <r3dux> Ocol - you can install sensor detection stuff -- google away (I can't recall the exact package name - it involves the text "sensor")
[12:35] <freebse> sensors_detect to start with as root off course
[12:35] <BlueAidan_work> I checked the xorg log. are these bad?

[12:35] <FloodBot1> BlueAidan_work: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:35] <Flxr> hey guys, how do I exclude anything below mail.err from this syslog.conf rule:
[12:36] <Flxr> *.*;auth,authpriv.none,cron.none     -/var/log/syslog
[12:36] <BlueAidan_work> I didn't think 3 lines was flooding...
[12:36] <RichardWolfVI> !paste|BlueAidan_work
[12:36] <Ocol1> Hmm
[12:36] <FransWillem> Hi, I'm having some trouble installing a Canoscan lide 20 device (supported by sane plustek). I installed sane-utils, sane-find-scanner lists the device, yet scanimage -L only lists my TV-cards. Would anyone know how to fix that ?
[12:36] <BlueAidan_work> I know about paste sites.... usually 3 lines is ok
[12:37] <brendon1> didn't offend me, BlueAidan, but I bot don't discriminate :) hehe
[12:37] <Leonheart> why nvidia driver not working for ibex?
[12:37] <RichardWolfVI> BlueAidan_work: Well, It's easier to read output that way
[12:37] <brendon1> I=the   , I don't know how I mixed that up...
[12:37] <RichardWolfVI> !nvidia|Leonheart
[12:37] <Leonheart> make os just crash!
[12:37] <Angeliki> could somebody tell me about domjudge? please?
[12:38] <r3dux> ocoll - lm-sensors
[12:38] <RichardWolfVI> !repeat|Angeliki
[12:38] <RichardWolfVI> BlueAidan_work: Well, Intel graphics just suck, I can't tell more.
[12:38] <Ocol1> I found x sensors is good
[12:39] <ubunewbie> hi all, i keep getting an error msg in the package manager. http://paste.ubuntu.com/134200/ not sure how to fix that
[12:39] <Leonheart> RichardWolfVI: why u named RichardWolfVI not ibex?
[12:39] <Ocol1> Thanks, I already put those redux :)
[12:39] <Ocol1> I was looking for a program
[12:39] <RichardWolfVI> Leonheart: hmm?
[12:39] <r3dux> (I only found lm-sensors by looking at the requirements for the SensorsScreenlet)
[12:39] <quibbler> Angeliki: have a read: http://home.a-eskwadraat.nl/~domjudge/snapshot/admin-manual/admin-manual.html
[12:39] <BlueAidan_work> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/329266
[12:39] <BlueAidan_work> hmm
[12:40] <Ocol1> I must reboot :)

[12:47] <daedra> how do you record off the sound card?
[12:47] <GreenLine> but,i try on my laptop and i can try it(live cd)

[12:48] <friciszz> Hello. i have a problem that every time I reboot my pc, the sound level of PCM is turned down and muted.. I think some app starting might be doing it. does anyone have an idea how to find out?
[12:48] <GreenLine> that live can work on my laptop...
[12:48] <RichardWolfVI> Leonheart: Reconfigure xorg, complain later
[12:48] <GreenLine> but, i can't try live cd or install ubuntu on my desktop pc
[12:49] <atlas95> friciszz: try leveup sound with alsamixer then do a alsactl store
[12:49] <RichardWolfVI> GreenLine: As it's the same CD... maybe your graphics are not supported
[12:49] <GreenLine> yup.. it's same
[12:49] <Miss_k> :)
[12:50] <GreenLine> i used readon graphic card
[12:50] <Miss_k> so what is your problem?

[12:50] <friciszz> atlas 95.. could you please explain? i'm a newbie..
[12:51] <freebse> GreenLine: install it from the one without Graphical Interface, maybe someone else in here can point you to the right iso, I use Deb and don't know which ISO to take that is not liveCD and can install in textmde
[12:51] <RichardWolfVI> Leonheart: Reconfigure X.Org, have you done it?
[12:51] <ubunewbie> RichardWolfVI, sorry which was for me?
[12:51] <RichardWolfVI> ubunewbie: Disable updating from CDs
[12:52] <Leonheart> RichardWolfVI: ok, maybe later.... since i hate installing again from the start... :((

[12:54] <Ocol> from heat
[12:54] <silv3r_m00n> ubuntu is not accessing shared files on a windows computer on LAN
[12:54] <RichardWolfVI> Leonheart: You can update packages on the LiveCD, but I guess it won't work with the ones that need to reboot.
[12:54] <silv3r_m00n> nautilus over here smb://workgroup/  displays nothing
[12:55] <Leonheart> RichardWolfVI: i hope 9.04 working then.... thanks!

[13:06] <kagou> anyone have tried to automatically mount an external hdd on eSATA ?
[13:06] <Brad777> RichardWolfVI: I have it on autodetect

[13:08] <RichardWolfVI> !games|xconvergex
[13:09] <Brad777> RichardWolfVI: Okay they are all set to alsa, but it still doesn't work
[13:09] <ZykoticK9> xconvergex, what games do you want to play?
[13:09] <xconvergex> I don't know
[13:09] <xconvergex> ZykoticK9
[13:10] <RichardWolfVI> Brad777: Restart, try again
[13:10] <ZykoticK9> xconvergex, there aren't nearly as many games under linux as under Windows - just be informed.
[13:10] <xconvergex> ZykoticK9 these games are free on ubuntu ?
[13:11] <Brad777> RichardWolfVI: k
[13:11] <ZykoticK9> xconvergex, some are free, some are demos, some you have to pay for.

[13:11] <xconvergex> I am now with windows but it makes me sick
[13:11] <BlueAidan_work> is there any way to get the old i810 driver for xorg? it seems the newest intel drivers are more targeted for the newer chipsets, and performance sucks on the old ones.
[13:12] <ZykoticK9> Mraedis, "chmod ugo+rwx filename" ugo is user group other; rwx is read write execute - customize to suit
[13:12] <RichardWolfVI> i810|BlueAidan_work
[13:12] <RichardWolfVI> !i810|BlueAidan_work
[13:12] <Mraedis> Better :p thanks again
[13:12] <keeley> my system today say "new partial upgrade avaiable" is correct? (I have 8.10)
[13:12] <BlueAidan_work> there's a repo for arch linux
[13:12] <BlueAidan_work> http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=66057
[13:13] <Mraedis> works! thanks :)
[13:13] <kagou> RichardWolfVI, !mount is not a response
[13:13] <Mraedis> It blocked my updating-rights
[13:13] <xconvergex> ZykoticK9 . There are cracks for games in windows. are there in ubuntu ?
[13:13] <RichardWolfVI> kagou: Sorry, I guess your devices should mount automatically.
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[13:13] <RichardWolfVI> kagou: check the "man mount"
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> !mount
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> !fstab
[13:14] <vagab> e
[13:14] <kagou> RichardWolfVI, it's not a problem with mount. I talk about eSATA it's an hal/kernel problem
[13:15] <kagou> I'm searching personn who have been confronted to this problem
[13:15] <ZykoticK9> xconvergex, i've never heard of one.  strange question you're asking actually.  most games that can run under linux will run under wine, which uses the windows files.  so and additional files that may be required to run in windows, will still be required under wine as well.  how that makes sense...
[13:15] <buyaka> can I upgrade python 2.6 through the package managers?
[13:16] <RichardWolfVI> !copyright|xconvergex
[13:16] <vagab> give me please the link to download apache
[13:16] <RichardWolfVI> xconvergex: Cracking a game is illegal, you cant ask for it here.

[13:17] <hazrpg> hey all
[13:17] <Brad777> RichardWolfVI: that didn't fix it
[13:18] <RichardWolfVI> Brad777: I'm short of ideas, I'm afraid.
[13:18] <buyaka> do I have to compile python 2.6 from source to get it on ubuntu 8.10?
[13:18] <hazrpg> would people recommend using the amd64 version of ubuntu for a core 2 duo laptop? or is using the standard i386 be the best solution? (currently running on i386)
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> !info python
[13:18] <RichardWolfVI> buyaka; Or you could just wait.
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> hazrpg: how much ram do you have and what is the main use of the laptop?
[13:19] <xconvergex> what makes ubuntu better than windows ?
[13:19] <buyaka> RichardWolfVI,  I dont mind waiting, I just wasnt sure if they'd decided to keep it at 2.5
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> xconvergex: thats offtopic here, head to #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:19] <bazhang> !ot | xconvergex
[13:19] <seagate> ubuntu is free dude
[13:19] <hazrpg> 2GB RAM, nVidia 8600GS graphics card
[13:19] <ZykoticK9> hazrpg, if you have more then 4Gigs of memory, then use the 64bit version.  if you want things to run more smoothly use the 32bit.
[13:20] <LordMetroid> !ot
[13:20] <hazrpg> main use currently is browsing, coding (HTML and Java mainly), and gaming
[13:20] <RichardWolfVI> hazrpg: I'd recommend you to stay 32-bit
[13:20] <ZykoticK9> hazrpg, if gaming is an issue stick to the 32bit version
[13:21] <milkncat> Does anyone tried to use Cinema4d with wine ?
[13:21] <RichardWolfVI> ZykoticK9: Even with more than 4 GB, there's PAE
[13:21] <hazrpg> Nah, just use the simple open-sourced games really
[13:21] <RichardWolfVI> !appdb|milkncat
[13:21] <hazrpg> I only ask, because isn't i386 Pentium 1?
[13:21] <ZykoticK9> RichardWolfVI, is PAE available for desktop?  it's buggy too i hear.
[13:22] <RichardWolfVI> ZykoticK9: NOpe, I had to switch to the server kernel, It's worked great for me.
[13:22] <milkncat> RichardWolfVI: thanks
[13:22] <hazrpg> I tried to install FileZilla FTP and it says it needs at least i686 (which makes sense, since i686 arch is P2)
[13:22] <RichardWolfVI> hazrpg: i386 is a designation for processors based on Intel's 80386
[13:23] <mrwes> Will ubuntu 8.04 server edition support this card?  Rosewill RC-210 Silicon Image e-SATA PCI Controller Card - Also includes an additional Low Profile Size PCI Bracket - Retail
[13:23] <RichardWolfVI> hazrpg: It'll work
[13:23] <buyaka> does firefox work fine for you guys?  I've got a little bug in the way it displays tabs
[13:24] <RichardWolfVI> mrwes: Not sure, but you could just try it yourself, if it dosn't work, you can go back to generic
[13:24] <m3gaman> buyaka:: works great
[13:24] <hazrpg> RichardWolfVI: Hehe, yeah I know it works... been using i386 every time I've installed ubuntu on any machine, I just don't understand why FileZilla is awkward.
[13:24] <mrwes> RichardWolfVI, yah
[13:25] <liza0> hello
[13:25] <RichardWolfVI> mrwes: don't forget to install linux-restricted and linux-backports for server, just in case
[13:26] <RichardWolfVI> hazrpg: i686 introduces some instructions not available in precessors older that the P2
[13:26] <mrwes> RichardWolfVI, hrmm..via apt-get you mean, or enable those repos in the sources list?
[13:26] <EDinNY> What version is the latest ubuntu kernel?
[13:26] <ZykoticK9> RichardWolfVI, hazrpg i'm recommending the 32bit version but: I'm personally running the 64bit version with only 4Gs Memory and run many games and 32-bit only apps without problems, but a few programs out there will not run on 64bit (like boxee, which turned out to be a disappointment due to stability).  some games and other programs you start running into lib32 issues and troubleshooting startup errors from programs - but you can usually get the
[13:26] <ZykoticK9> m to work.
[13:27] <bullgard4> EDinNY: Ask that in #ubuntu+1
[13:27] <RichardWolfVI> EDinNY: 2.6.27-14 for Hardy
[13:27] <RichardWolfVI> *Intrepid
[13:27] <Sega_Dude> hey guys can u please help me get my ArterOS wirless card working?
[13:27] <Sega_Dude> *wireless
[13:27] <RichardWolfVI> !atheros|Sega_Dude
[13:28] <EDinNY> RichardWolfVI: thanks...how about the one before that?
[13:28] <mrwes> RichardWolfVI, hrmm..via apt-get you mean, or enable those repos in the sources list?
[13:29] <Brad777> RichardWolfVI: thanks anyways :-D
[13:29] <Aperculum> when I try to print millimeter grid paper from printablepaper.net, I cannot get it to scale right
[13:29] <Brad777> hazrpg: unless you have more than 4 GB of ram I'd reccomend using the i386
[13:30] <Aperculum> it's like 1 millimeter to short on 15cm distance
[13:30] <hazrpg> RichardWolfVI: Yeah, I understand that. Thanks for the info though, I shall stick with i386. Do you know of a good FTP program similar to FileZilla?
[13:30] <ZykoticK9> hazrpg, look into gftp even supports ssh :)
[13:30] <RichardWolfVI> hazrpg: FileZilla has been my favourite, so no
[13:31] <RichardWolfVI> EDinNY: What about it?
[13:31] <Sega_Dude> hey guys whats the difference between ubuntu 32 bit and 64 bit?
[13:31] <mrwes> how about just using Nautilus - file | connect to server
[13:31] <hazrpg> RichardWolfVI: Is there a way of getting FileZilla to work on ubuntu i386? (other than Wine - although I will use Wine if I have to)
[13:31] <EDinNY> RichardWolfVI: just wanted to know the version of the Kernel in the last release
[13:32] <RichardWolfVI> hazrpg: sudo apt-get install filezilla
[13:32] <mrwes> hazrpg, you can ftp with nautilus
[13:32] <RichardWolfVI> EDinNY: Well, I told you.
[13:32] <hazrpg> mrwes: tried that already, otherwise I wouldn't be asking ;)
[13:32] <EDinNY> that was the current release
[13:32] <mrwes> hazrpg, ahh.. k
[13:33] <RichardWolfVI> EDinNY: Oh, you mean Jaunty
[13:33] <RichardWolfVI> EDinNY: it's 2.6.28 :P
[13:33] <hazrpg> mrwes: I won't connect to my FTP server, because of strict settings imposed on the server.
[13:33] <mrwes> hrmm
[13:33] <EDinNY> jaunty is the next version?
[13:33] <EDinNY> or rather next ubuntu release?
[13:34] <mrwes> ssh won't work either?
[13:34] <tux_> EDinNY, yup
[13:34] <RichardWolfVI> EDinNY: Yeah, it'll be released in a month or so
[13:34] <EDinNY> how about the one before Hardy?
[13:34] <adderx99> hmm...CNN Breaking News (11 seconds ago)
[13:34] <adderx99> U.S. Navy vessels U.S.S. Hartford, U.S.S. New Orleans collide in the Strait of Hormuz, commander of U.S. 5th Fleet says.
[13:34] <hazrpg> RichardWolfVI: should really of tried apt-get first... thanks, I was just browsing Add/Remove to see what was available... and saw FileZilla but it said i686 on the description so assumed i couldn't install it lol.
[13:34] <RichardWolfVI> 2.6.29 version of the kernel is in RC status, I guess I won't be relesed in Ubuntu til 910
[13:35] <EDinNY> gutsy?
[13:35] <hazrpg> EDinNY: I'm currently using jaunty... works great :D
[13:35] <RichardWolfVI> EDinNY: No idea for older releases. Why the questions?
[13:35] <EDinNY> looking for an easy way to compile and test a driver against the right kernel
[13:36] <ZykoticK9> hazrpg, although it's called ubuntu i386 it's not true, i don't think the linux kernel even supports 386 any more, it's really i686 :)
[13:36] <EDinNY> found it
[13:36] <RichardWolfVI> ZykoticK9: An overclocked 80386 will do
[13:36] <RichardWolfVI> :P
[13:37] <hazrpg> ZykoticK9: Ahhh! Thanks for confirming that. I was thinking that i386 was a bit ancient by now lol.
[13:37] <Lasivian> any suggestyions on a simple cad program for Ubuntu? thanks
[13:37] <RichardWolfVI> !cad|Lasivian
[13:37] <RichardWolfVI> chucks
[13:38] <ZykoticK9> Lasivian, <joking> lol it there a "simple" cad program for any os?
[13:38] <Lasivian> yes, well....
[13:38] <Lasivian> I just need something to draw with
[13:38] <RichardWolfVI> Lasivian: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuScience
[13:38] <hazrpg> Lasivian: I'm sure I've seen a few CAD packages in add/remove
[13:38] <Lasivian> but with a snap-to-grid
[13:39] <Lasivian> hazrpg: I'm a chick, I like to get the human angle, not a nameless package :)
[13:39] <hazrpg> (I browse add/remove alot to find new software lol, that and when i can't find one on SourceForge and FreshMeat
[13:39] <dft_> heh, anyone else having issues with the 2.6.24-24-generic update?
[13:39] <EDinNY> there are chickshere?
[13:39] <EDinNY> lol
[13:39] <storbeck> You can use QCad
[13:39] <hazrpg> Lasivian: Hehe, my apologies. Hold on then.
[13:40] <dft_> I keep getting "could not find postinst hook script [update-grub]" even though it exists
[13:40] <RichardWolfVI> Lasivian: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuScience#Engineering Sciences
[13:40] <bluepojo> Hello.  How might I set up a priority list for connecting to Wifi networks?  It keeps trying to connect to networks that I don't have passwords for, rather than my home network.
[13:40] <RichardWolfVI> Lasivian: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuScience#Engineering_Sciences
[13:40] <RichardWolfVI> pardon for that
[13:41] <hazrpg> Lasivian: Yeah QCaD seems to be the best one.

[13:42] <__8472> hi, i'm trying to configure the isc's dhcp (dhcp3), and i'm trying to make IP allocation based on the part of MAC address, using this "match if substring (hardware,1,3) = 00:00:00;" , but it doesn't work. how can find what's wrong? because there is no error, no other problem with the dhcp. thx in advance.
[13:42] <Zallik> can i get wobble windows using a xhost?
[13:42] <storbeck> Lasivian: Use Blender if you want to make actual maps.
[13:43] <Lasivian> blender is.. complicated
[13:43] <storbeck> No it's not :P
[13:43] <Lasivian> i'm a chick, work with me here :P
[13:43] <hazrpg> Lasivian: Hehe, blender's only complicated because of the default layout it sets
[13:44] <Lasivian> i'm supposed to be able to exploit the "female incapable" side when I want to
[13:44] <Zallik> does ubuntu come with xhost / xserver, or do i need to get it?
[13:44] <Sega_Dude> im having trouble getting my external monitor to its native res.
[13:44] <storbeck> Yes it does, Zallik

[13:44] <RichardWolfVI> !repeat|Sega_Dude
[13:44] <hazrpg> Lasivian: When you say you like make gaming maps, what do you currently use (on windows for example, or other O/S)
[13:45] <Zallik> storbeck, is it easy enough to set up a version on windows?

[13:45] <dandre> I have an sd-card reader connected to my usb port. How can I format it?
[13:45] <Lasivian> but since I want to move to Linux that goes bye-bye
[13:46] <dandre> format the card inserted into it
[13:46] <Lasivian> dandre: partition manager I believe
[13:46] <hazrpg> Not necessarily, i've used Wine to make some apps work in linux
[13:46] <dandre> I haven't found it

[13:46] <Lasivian> hazrpg: LAME! oh.. ahem.. I mean "That would still mean sullying my good linux box with windows filth"
[13:47] <Zallik> storbeck, can u give me a quick fact, if im using windows and putty to open up a file on a linux box, whos the client and whos the server?
[13:47] <neko> hi people
[13:47] <storbeck> Windows is the client, and Linux is the server
[13:47] <hazrpg> Lasivian: I agree, but until developers can pull their fingers out of their ... *cough* i mean when developers suddenly realise the potential of Linux, they'll code more stuff for it.
[13:47] <Zallik> thankyou
[13:47] <Lasivian> dandre: http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/2e054693dca41e38/532e16a8a3122f8c?lnk=raot&pli=1
[13:48] <neko> I seek for a better gui query browser solution for linux than the mysql default one that keep on crashing on my ubuntu box
[13:48] <hazrpg> Lasivian: Hmm, just googled "campaign cartographer", does that actually do 3D or 2D stuff?
[13:48] <Lasivian> hazrpg: I use an older version for 2D
[13:48] <neko> sorry bad tabs
[13:48] <bluepojo> It's not really developers.  If Linux was more widely used (and it is on the rise) then more developers would write software for it.  It's kinda chicken => egg thing.
[13:49] <Zallik> storbeck, what is a generic interenet program that comes with ubuntu?
[13:49] <Zallik> starts with a K or somehting?
[13:49] <storbeck> Huh?
[13:49] <Lasivian> Zallik: rephrase please
[13:49] <bluepojo> the KDE browser?
[13:49] <hazrpg> Lasivian: Hmmz... what do you do with the end product? Or just enjoy making them?
[13:49] <dandre> Lasivian: isn't there some gui utility to do that?
[13:49] <storbeck> Firefox?
[13:50] <nexsja> 'ello. I've created a user using 'adduser' command, this user is also an FTP user. How can i lock this user to his homedir?
[13:50] <Sega_Dude> i need help with mu external monitor...
[13:50] <bluepojo> Konqueror
[13:50] <storbeck> nexsja: You have to create the user in a jailshell
[13:50] <Lasivian> hazrpg: tabletop gaming
[13:50] <Lasivian> dandre: unfortunately no
[13:50] <dandre> ok
[13:50] <bluepojo> Lasivian: what sort of table top gaming are you talking about?
[13:50] <Lasivian> bluepojo: D&D and the like
[13:51] <Zallik> sorry, i was looking for a interent browser for Linux, that comes in the bundle
[13:51] <storbeck> Use Firefox
 Konqueror [13:51] <Lasivian> you know, dice and books and geeks... the stuff that mostly went over to slobbering fat folks playing WoW
[13:51] <bluepojo> Lasivian: ah. was thinking maybe I'd discovered another warhammer player. >_>
[13:51] <hazrpg> Lasivian: DnD Style :P?
[13:51] <RichardWolfVI> Zallik: Firefox is the deafault browser in Ubuntu, Konqueror in Kubuntu.
[13:51] <nexsja> storbeck umm.. how do i do that? :>
[13:51] <bluepojo> Lasivian: nothing like throwing 35 dice at a time... ahhh
[13:51] <Lasivian> bluepojo: no, my wargaming was Battletech/Mechwarrior
[13:51] <Zallik> man, i havent done this linix think for aaaagers, and most of its already excaped my mind... i have a brain like a sive
[13:52] <bluepojo> Lasivian: ah ok. I never played that.  I've been a Warhammer Fantasy player for a long time though.
[13:52] <Lasivian> Battletech is like Warhammer, but the pieces have alot more hitpoints and you get fewer
[13:52] <Pqhda> How can I make sshd print a message before login?
[13:52] <keyton> is there any kernel patch for tty vga modes, on older kernel 2.6.22 vga=791 work perfect, but with my 2.6.24-23 doesnt work is there any solution to this or i need recompile my kernel
[13:52] <storbeck> nexsja: This should come in handy: http://www.fuschlberger.net/programs/ssh-scp-sftp-chroot-jail/
[13:52] <bluepojo> right... kinda like WarMachine, I think.
[13:52] <hazrpg> Lasivian: One last question, since i dont really know  campaign cartographer, does it have all the pictures and stuff to auto-magically drop them in, or do you make them yourself?
[13:53] <sipior> Pqhda: you can have a look at /etc/motd
[13:53] <Lasivian> hazrpg: it has all the stuff already premade, but I tend to just make them myself and keep a copy/paste set on the side of my project
[13:53] <Pqhda> sipior: no
[13:53] <storbeck> Pqhda: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/change-openssh-sshd-server-login-banner.html

[13:58] <GreenDelta> RichardWolfVI: thats what i tried
[13:58] <ziroday> GreenDelta: and going to http://localhost shows a "It works!" page?
[13:58] <GreenDelta> ziroday: yes, and php works 2
[13:58] <ziroday> GreenDelta: where/how did you install phpmyadmin?
[13:59] <GreenDelta> ziroday "sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin"
[13:59] <ziroday> GreenDelta: right
[13:59] <Zallik> why isnt my xhost working???
[13:59] <hazrpg> Lasivian: campaign cartographer seems rather cool tbh ^_^, might have to recommend it to my friend who's addicted to DnD at the moment lol
[13:59] <sipior> Zallik: how does it fail?
[14:00] <hazrpg> Erm.. seems there isn't really a great alternative to campaign cartographer on linux really
[14:00] <ziroday> GreenDelta: does /usr/share/phpmyadmin exist?
[14:00] <knowbot> can somebody help me withe the foiling: in g parted when i try 2 format a pat. bigger than 1TB: A partition cannot have a length of -1 sectors
[14:00] <Zallik> sipior -bash: xhost: command not found
[14:00] <hazrpg> i'll see sourceforge to see if there's anything
[14:00] <hazrpg> but try QCaD for now to see what that's like
[14:00] <ziroday> GreenDelta: as well as /etc/phpmyadmin?
[14:00] <GreenDelta> ziroday: a ls in '/var/www/' shows there is no phpmyadmin. /usr/share/phpmyadmin does exist
[14:00] <ziroday> GreenDelta: and /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf
[14:01] <sipior> Zallik: do you have the package x11-xserver-utils installed?
[14:01] <ziroday> GreenDelta: right, well that is where phpmyadmin should of installed to. It wont appear in /var/www
[14:01] <GreenDelta> ziroday: nope, the .conf doesnt exist -.-
[14:01] <sipior> Zallik: also, check to make sure that /usr/bin is still in your path...
[14:01] <ziroday> GreenDelta: well then you haven't installed phpmyadmin :). Try remove and reinstall it
[14:01] <storbeck> GreenDelta: find / -name phpmyadmin.conf -print 2>/dev/null

[14:03] <Zallik> ut usr/bin was there
[14:03] <ziroday> GreenDelta: well the package is not installing properly then. There should be files in those dirs. Did you apt-get clean and the reinstall?
[14:04] <GreenDelta> ziroday: i did "sudo apt-get remove phpmyadmin" and then the same with install

[14:05] <knowbot> ﻿ can somebody help me with  G﻿parted  and a >1TB disk

[14:08] <Zallik> do i change to root with "su root"
[14:08] <Zallik> ?
[14:08] <storbeck> sudo -i
[14:09] <ziroday> GreenDelta: what about /usr/share/phpmyadmin?
[14:09] <GreenDelta> ziroday: still exists
[14:09] <GreenDelta> with plenty of files in it
[14:10] <ziroday> GreenDelta: err does http://localhost/phpmyadmin load?
[14:10] <second_thought> clear
[14:10] <Zallik> is there anyway to purge the pasword files?
[14:11] <sipior> Zallik: what exactly are you trying to fix/accomplish?
[14:11] <GreenDelta> ziroday: nope

[14:11] <ziroday> GreenDelta: why not try a phpmyadmin install from sourc e
[14:11] <sipior> Zallik: i mean, you could remove them, of course, but then you couldn't log in :-)
[14:11] <hazrpg> Lasivian: Think I might of found something that'll work for you
[14:11] <second_thought> I'm trying to put the usb version of clonezilla on it
[14:12] <GreenDelta> ziroday: from source? what do you mean?
[14:12] <Zallik> the root password isnt working
[14:12] <sipior> Zallik: well, you should just be able to use your own password, with sudo.
[14:12] <sipior> Zallik: no root password required.
[14:12] <dr_willis> !sudo | Zallik
[14:12] <GreenDelta> ziroday: isnt phpmyadmin a apache2 module and wants to be activated?

[14:14] <sipior> Zallik: you can add your login to the sudoers file, but you'll need someone with sudo access to do it :-)
[14:14] <dr_willis> Zallik:  like i said.. only the initially made user can do sudo.. without other configuration
[14:14] <roadfish> Any tips on debugging/fixing audio capture? For example, arecord test.wav generates only a 44byte file.
[14:14] <bredoto_> hia

[14:15] <pfalcone> anybody have an idea how to regenerate /dev/log?
[14:15] <bredoto_> does anybody knows how to make own deb-packages, or any helpful resourses?
[14:15] <second_thought> ah whateva.. I'm just going to use UNetbootin

[14:17] <LionOpeter> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FAQ
[14:17] <Zallik> wtf? my passwords working again
[14:17] <Ubunewbie> second_thought, first off, thanks for responding so quickly. second, i installed a bunch of packages that were listed via synaptic and they all show up in the synaptic list of packages but they just won't install. i'm confused i get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/134232/ but i don't know what else i need to add or change in any way
[14:17] <Zallik> omg... confuzzled
[14:18] <jturek> QUESTION:   Is there a program like gnome-terminal  that has custom toolbars that i can make macro buttons to paste common commands? (sort of like I can do in WRQ Reflection or PROComm

[14:19] <daryl__> having a tough time getting ubuntu installed on a dt research webdt366. its a tablet pc and right when the progress bar changes from back and forth pogo to an actual progress indicator, about 20 percent up that progress, my graphics go corrupted and screen becomes unusable. what exactly is happening during the beginning stages of that "load"?
[14:19] <Zallik> BAM
[14:19] <Zallik> YAY, xhost works
[14:19] <Zallik> thanks boys
[14:19] <Zallik> im off 2 bed, the mz is sleeping beside me, and i can here her sleeping angry
[14:20] <Zallik> LOL
[14:20] <Zallik> she thinks im a nerd...

[14:20] <sipior> daryl_: can you try the text installer?
[14:20] <Zallik> how do i shutdown my box?
[14:20] <Zallik> lol
[14:21] <Zallik> can ya sudo shutdown?
[14:21] <daryl__> i can but in xubuntu it seems to do the same
[14:21] <daryl__> tried passing vga=normal as a kernel argument but no avail
[14:21] <cperrin88> Hi, since my last autpmatic ernel update my screen is just rainbow stripes but nothing more
[14:21] <mustangg1> hello. How might I check to see which version of an app is present in the repos?
[14:22] <bredoto_> does anybody know how to make own deb-packages, or any helpful resourses?
[14:22] <dr_willis> !apt
[14:22] <dr_willis> when in doubt - check the 'short apt-get manual' :)
[14:22] <sipior> mustangg1: apt-cache policy <package>
[14:22] <dr_willis> then check teh longer ones.
[14:22] <LED> Anyone here use aMule? (I have a problem with it)
[14:23] <fevel> the panel option screen-resolution refuses to apply my desired resolution, even though I know its the right one. Is there a way for me to force it?
[14:23] <LjL> !packaging > bredoto_    (bredoto_, see the private message from ubottu)
[14:24] <bredoto_> LjL, thanks
[14:24] <boerzel> hi out there. does anyone here know, how to change the fonts size and look of kde-programs, wich are used under GNOME? I am running Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit.
[14:24] <LED> Anyone at all?
[14:25] <michaeldadmum> boerzel: Try to tune it in KDE system settings.
[14:25] <vagab> what command creats a file?
[14:25] <boerzel> michaeldadmum: thankx, but where do I find them? I do not know the new kde4x.
[14:25] <sellout_> vagab: touch
[14:25] <sipior> boerzel: maybe try qtconfig?
[14:26] <michaeldadmum> boerzel: try to install systemsettings
[14:26] <hazrpg> if anyone knows Lasivian, tell her that AutoREALM is the best open-source alternative, but she'll still need Wine as it hasn't been ported to linux yet
[14:26] <vagab> thanks
[14:26] <boerzel> sipior: yes, I did, but that had nothing done with the fonts of k3b, k9copy and some more
[14:26] <mustangg1> sipior: Thanks. btw- aren't packages which I can get using apt _supposed_ to show up in the gui add/remove ?
[14:27] <hazrpg> question: What is ipconfig equivalent in linux?
[14:27] <sipior> mustangg1: i don't think add/remove has a complete listing of packages
[14:27] <sellout_> mustangg1: add/remove only lists mainly gui programs.
[14:27] <hazrpg> been bugging me since i started using linux a few years ago
[14:27] <LjL> hazrpg: ifconfig
[14:27] <boerzel> michaeldadmum: I did, but the window of systemsettings is empty
[14:27] <michaeldadmum> boerzel: let me check
[14:27] <sellout_> mustangg1: anything that runs on the terminal is not in add/remove (for the most part) tehy do thos so as not to confuse users.
[14:27] <mustangg1> sellout_:  aha. too bad, lots of really good console apps could benefit from that.
[14:28] <sellout_> mustangg1: use aptitude or synergy for complete package control
[14:28] <sellout_> mustangg1: bear in mind ubuntu is aimed at end-users first, devs and console junkies second.
[14:28] <sellout_> aptitude and synaptic are there for a reason though ;-)
[14:29] <hazrpg> "System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager" for a full list of apps :)
[14:29] <mustangg1> sellout_:  well I'm not exactly a console junkie, but I do know the value of control over my system. I still forget which command does what sometime..
[14:29] <sellout_> and end-users that do not have a clue do not need to touch either one of those apps. lol
[14:29] <sellout_> mustangg1: fair enough. Cames with time :-)
[14:29] <hazrpg> sellout_: I Agree :)
[14:30] <mustangg1> sellout_:  well I have so much microsoft cruft in my head I may not have enough before I die, but I am trying ;)
[14:30] <sh12> how do i connect screen program to a pts/3?
[14:30] <hazrpg> mustanggl: Haha, i agree to that too :P
[14:30] <Wunderbar> how do I go about unpacking a tar.gz file in the terminal- all the info Ive found so far has been deeply  unhelpful
[14:31] <sellout_> I am very thankful add/remove is idiot proof. I install ubuntu on most of my customers machines... and most of them are myspace-generation-clicky-clicky-install-everything-that-moves people
[14:31] <storbeck> Wunderbar: tar xvzf file.tar.gz
[14:31] <hazrpg> LjL: ifconfig = ipconfig was that?
[14:31] <boerzel> anyone knows about xsane and pressing together ps or pdfs files?
[14:31] <mattgyver83> Can anyone help me, I cant connect to my ubuntu machine over the network from a windows machine
[14:31] <LjL> hazrpg: it's sort of the same thing as ipconfig in windows, yes
[14:32]  * hazrpg tests ifconfig
[14:32] <LED> When I import my files from eMule to aMule, all of them have 0-byte size. (They are reset?)
[14:32] <boerzel> michaeldadmum: did you found whats the matter with systemsettings?
[14:32] <hazrpg> LjL: hehe nice :), thanks dude
[14:32] <michaeldadmum> boerzel: I am finding now.
[14:32] <storbeck> ifconfig = wired networks, iwconfig = wireless networks
[14:32] <sellout_> mustangg1: I will tell you how I got rid of the microsoft cruft. I got sick of reinstallign windows on most of my machiens 2 or 3 times a month... got my hands on a linux iso... and formatted every machien in my home so i was forced to learn
[14:32] <boerzel> michaeldadmum: great, thanx, I am waiting
[14:32] <sellout_> that was about 7 years ago.
[14:33] <sellout_> ^_^
[14:33] <Wunderbar> thanks storbeck
[14:33] <hazrpg> storbeck: I know iwconfig ;), thanks to backtrack
[14:33] <storbeck> np Wunderbar
[14:33] <michaeldadmum> boerzel: Try installing kdebase-workspace-data.
[14:33] <boerzel> michaeldadmum: ok, just a second
[14:34] <hazrpg> lsusb = list usb devices right?
[14:34] <storbeck> yes
[14:34] <yeni> Selam
[14:34] <yeni> Burasý neresi
[14:35] <LjL> !tr | yeni
[14:35] <sellout_> ...?
[14:35] <boerzel> michaeldadmum: sorry, I installed kdebase-workspace-data, but systemsettings is still empty
[14:35] <yeni> S.a
[14:35] <hazrpg> what would you say was the best way of finding out the hardware details?
[14:35] <storbeck> lspci
[14:36] <sellout_> hazrpg: hwinfo or lspci -nn
[14:36] <mustangg1> sellout_: similar to myself, (especially on the reinstall topic!) only I've never been a straight up developer so have not gotten exposure to certain clearly important areas. So I appreciate the help I get.
[14:36] <sellout_> lspci -nn will give you all the pci-ids. google those and you find all sorts of magics to make things work :-)
[14:36] <hazrpg> sellout_: ahh that was the one, lspci -nn
[14:36] <storbeck> sellout_: http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/index.cgi
[14:36] <hazrpg> been bugging me, i remember seeing it a while back and could never remember it
[14:37] <frankenfine> join #aptana @irc.freenode.org
[14:37] <bazhang> !hcl
[14:37] <michaeldadmum> boerzel: wait for a while.
[14:37] <krzd> what are the shipping costs of the ubuntu shop
[14:37] <hazrpg> sellout_: that'll be why i seen lspci -nn :P I had problems with hardware in the past
[14:37] <Sqrt2_> hi, is there anything similar to desktop search like spotlight on OS X for Ubuntu?
[14:37] <boerzel> michaeldadmum: ok, I am still here
[14:37] <krzd> Sqrt2_, beagle
[14:37] <hazrpg> sellout_: Thanks muchly :)
[14:38] <sellout_> storbeck: nice! It has been bookmarked :-)
[14:38] <storbeck> hehe
[14:38] <sellout_> Sqrt2_: beagle is fairly nice if you wanta  gui tool
[14:38] <Sqrt2_> krzd: does it also search my e-mails?
[14:38] <sellout_> krzd: beat me to it
[14:38] <Mr_Grieves|> Hi, is there a way to tell apt that I have a package installed from source?
[14:39] <hazrpg> storbeck: woot! that site is pretty niffy :)
[14:39] <krzd> Sqrt2_, yes it does
[14:39] <michaeldadmum> boerzel: What KDE packages are installed on your system?
[14:39] <sellout_> Mr_Grieves|: other than just out-right blocking a package in synaptic... not that I am aware of.
[14:39] <krzd> sellout_, what does that mean (sry, i'm german^^)
[14:39] <storbeck> hazrpg: :)
[14:39] <krzd> Sqrt2_, it searches the emails of kmail, evolution and thunderbird
[14:39] <Mr_Grieves|> sellout_: hrm, that would block dependencies of the package, too, wouldn't it?
[14:40] <sellout_> Mr_Grieves|: however lets say you isntalled screen from source. You can go into synaptic and "block" screen so apt will not ever try to install it again
[14:40] <boerzel> michaeldadmum:  kde4, that, what is available in Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit repos
[14:40] <sellout_> Mr_Grieves|: You could just simpily lock the current version... but dependencies will still be unblocked
[14:40] <Sqrt2_> can you boot ubuntu from a memory card? I do't have any blank dvd left
[14:40] <sellout_> in theory
[14:40] <sellout_> Mr_Grieves|: ubuntu is not the best distro for dealing with source... but you *can*
[14:41] <Mr_Grieves|> sellout_: hrm, I'll try that.
[14:41] <sellout_> Sqrt2_: sure. Use the usb boot creator
[14:41] <dr_willis> Sqrt2_:  You can make a bootable/installable thumbdrive with ubuntu on it.. yes
[14:41] <michaeldadmum> boerzel: Try installing kde instead.
[14:41] <krzd> Sqrt2_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[14:41] <sellout_> Sqrt2_: thumb drive or memory card. Ive used both.
[14:41] <dr_willis> Sqrt2_:  like sellout_  said.. or try unetbootin tool.
[14:41] <Sqrt2_> I just found a dvd with ubuntu amd 64 on it :-)
[14:41] <dr_willis> not all pc's can boot from sd cards.
[14:42] <sellout_> dr_willis: few. and that is being generous.
[14:42]  * Sqrt2_ is switching form OS X
[14:42] <storbeck> I don't blame you, Sqrt2_ :P
[14:42] <sellout_> the utility will make it properly... the ulity can not account for crappy bios though.
[14:42] <buzzDrive> If i want to help community in programation where si the place?
[14:42] <Sqrt2_> I don't understand why ppl say OS X is more friendly
[14:43] <Sqrt2_> I have to admit that it looks beatifull but it is definitely not userfriendly
[14:43] <sellout_> Sqrt2_: because people like the pretty ui. those people however have not seen e17 whic is even prettier and runs on about 12 megs of ram.
[14:43] <nilo> hola
[14:43] <boerzel> michaeldadmum: kde instead? You mean, using kde? No, sorry, but thats no deal. Kde4 is like Windows Vista, lot of nonsense. I dont want to annony kde-fans, for me only Gnome or kde3.5.x is ok. I need to work with the PC
[14:43] <Sqrt2_> sellout_: e17? got screenshots?
[14:44] <michaeldadmum> boerzel: There is no KDE3 in intrepid.
[14:44] <nilo> somebody has installed new gnome 2.26?
[14:44] <nilo> is in the repos?
[14:44] <michaeldadmum> boerzel: I am using Kubuntu with original KDE in Jaunty.
[14:44] <dimebar> nilo: upgrade to Jaunty
[14:45] <cipherSimian> is there an iPhone emulator i can get from the repos for testing mobile versions of webpages?
[14:45] <boerzel> michaeldadmum: right thats the big problem, intrepid has. because there some good kde-tools and under former ubuntu versions with kde 3.5 everything was fine. since kde4 is on top, its just an optical horror to use kde-prpgrams unter gnome
[14:45] <nilo> now im using mandriva, but I'm thinking to install ubuntu
[14:45] <boerzel> michaeldadmum: i was a kbuntu fan too - until kde4 came
[14:45] <Mr_Grieves|> Looks like equiv's may be what I'm looking for...
[14:46] <sellout_> Sqrt2_: screenshots do not do it justice.. but here is a vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqfxJWHUrek
[14:46] <michaeldadmum> boerzel: I am a Kubuntu fan since KDE4 came. I tried KDE3 a while ago but I was not satisfied so I use KDE4 again.
[14:46] <sipior> sellout_: any chance it will see a real release before 2018? ;-)
[14:46] <cipherSimian> is there an iPhone emulator i can get from the repos for testing mobile versions of webpages?
[14:46] <boerzel> michaeldadmum: i had taken a look to kde4 on a pc with opensuse 11.1 64-bit. I dod not understand anything, and I am using PCs know since more than 20 years, 5 years of them with linux
[14:46] <nilo> the problem is ubuntu doesnt supports my intel wireless 2100...
[14:46] <saurabh> i have installed kubuntu 8.10..........by mistake i removed the panel that contained my minimised windows...............how to get that back
[14:47] <nilo> anybody knows how I can add suport to my intel wireless??
[14:47] <boerzel> michaeldadmum: anyway, thanks a lot for your try to help me, michael.
[14:47] <sellout_> sipior: Raster is a perfectionist. I have had a few arguments with him on that note.
[14:47] <xnguard> Hi, folks.  I had a package manager accident that removed resolvconf, and now I can't get resolvconf / NetworkManager to update /etc/resolv.conf.  Any help appreciated.
[14:48] <nilo> It worked on 7.10, but in te 8.04, lost support
[14:48] <sellout_> sipior: that said it is totally usable. I have e ven set up e17 for custoemrs and edelrly people that need a simple ui
[14:48] <michaeldadmum> boerzel: bye
[14:48] <sellout_> sipior: lots of overhauling is going on. e18 is on it's way
[14:48] <sipior> sellout_: i've played with it myself. i'm afraid that by the time it sees the light of day, it will have been passed by...
[14:49] <sellout_> sipior: Raster would rather release something that is complete and solid, than somethign partially borken.
[14:49] <sellout_> sipior: also a lot of the libraries written for e17 have been used in other projects
[14:49] <sellout_> imlib is huge and used everywhere
[14:50] <Wunderbar> is there an easier way of install a tar.gz packed zip than the make,compile method?
[14:50] <sellout_> sipior: raster wants at least a couple more libraries to hit true 1.0 status before he considers releasing e17 for end users. It is already being used a lot though. GOS and several other distros ship with e17 by default
[14:50] <x-ip> where ubuntu 8.10 will have gnome2.26 updates ? :D
[14:50] <hugodor> yo
[14:50] <sellout_> Wunderbar: gentoo :-(
[14:51] <sipior> Wunderbar: that's pretty easy as it is, yeah? man, in the dark days before automake...
[14:51] <Wunderbar> lol
[14:51] <sellout_> Wunderbar: Ubuntu is not really made to manage sources. It allows you to install them manually but that is abour it.
[14:51] <Wunderbar> ok, thanks
[14:51] <sellout_> make make install is not so bad though
[14:51] <Wunderbar> Im new to linux
[14:51] <dimebar> checkinstall makes it slightly nicer
[14:51] <Wunderbar> so I basically suck at this
[14:51] <sellout_> Wunderbar: what are you trying to install?
[14:52] <Wunderbar> new irss
[14:52] <Wunderbar> I
[14:52] <sellout_> Wunderbar: almost everything has packages...
[14:52] <kavity> Wunderbar: Get it from the repos?
[14:52] <Nublet> Hello all. I have 2 partitions, one for vista, one for ubuntu. I have decided i want rid of the windows partition so i want to delete it and resize my ubuntu partition to take up the whole drive. Is this safe? If so, how would i do it? Thanks :D
[14:52] <hugodor> ./configure make make install now that's tough lol
[14:52] <Wunderbar> the new one isnt' there...
[14:52] <Wunderbar> lol
[14:52] <kavity> Nublet: Get gparted.
[14:53] <dimebar> Wunderbar: dunno if the sid package would work? ;)
[14:53] <Wunderbar> Ill try
[14:53] <hugodor> Nublet you could just delete teh vista partition and create a new partition and mount it as your home dir
[14:53] <sellout_> Wunderbar: grab the sid package.
[14:53] <Wunderbar> but the make install method isn't working
[14:53] <Nublet> kavity: Is that available as a prog or just livecd?
[14:53] <sellout_> Wunderbar: debian is more on the ball with console apps.
[14:53] <Lou_> Can anyone tell me why nautilus is crashing?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/134255/
[14:53] <sellout_> Wunderbar: what version are you looking for specifically?
[14:54] <storbeck> Wunderbar: Just apt-get install irssi
[14:54] <Wunderbar> make failed, again
[14:54] <kavity> Nublet: As a prog.
[14:54] <kavity> Nublet: sudo apt-get install gparted
[14:54] <sipior> Wunderbar: any chance we could get a pastebin of the failed build? you're probably just missing a library or three that it needs...
[14:55] <cipherSimian> is there an iPhone emulator i can get from the repos for testing mobile versions of webpages?
[14:55] <Wunderbar> hold on lemme try the synaptic again
[14:55] <hugodor> wow it was so hard to get on these channels at school
[14:55] <Nublet> kavity: It's 100% safe to do what i am doing right? I would hate to make a mistake and kill my drive and lose my ubuntu
[14:55] <hugodor> is irc encrypted?
[14:55] <Myrtti> no
[14:55] <storbeck> no
[14:56] <m1chael> i boot up ubuntu using the live install cd... went to administrative tools and attempted to create a usb boot device... but my device was not listed under the usb devices list... but my device shows up on the desktop and shows up for the partitioning tool... what to do? anyone have any suggestions for this?
[14:56] <storbeck> hugodor: You could always ssh into a box, then run irssi
[14:56] <hugodor> it was so hard to get an irc client at school
[14:56] <hugodor> yea
[14:56] <hugodor> or i could tunnel my irc traffic
[14:56] <hugodor> i was just wondering
[14:57] <hugodor> i tried that though using a remote shell account but it wouldn't let me because it thought i was proxying
[14:57] <kavity> Nublet: It should be safe, however, I would recommend you taking precautions and bcking up yourself anyway.
[14:57] <cipherSimian> anyone know of an iPhone emulator i can use on Ubuntu for testing mobile versions of webpages?
[14:59] <hugodor> our school's policy blocked the download of irssi so i had to ssh into a remote server and wget it then i tried ftping to that through command prompt and ie but our policy still blocked that finally i sftp'd into it like a ninja
[15:00] <cipherSimian> anyone know of an iPhone emulator i can use on Ubuntu for testing mobile versions of webpages?
[15:01] <sipior> cipherSimian: there's a plugin for firefox, if you just want to see what the thing will look like.

[15:02] <ned_> كيف يمكنني أن أجد الإيبي
[15:02] <hugodor> so in order for my wireless card to work i had to update my kernel on my 8.04 ubuntu to 2.6.26 but that causes my screen to mess up most of the times i boot it's like half screen or no screen at all idk why
[15:02] <cipherSimian> sipior: you know what it's called?
[15:03] <Deevz> Is it a practical solution to install ubuntu on my 4gb drive and put my files on my 16gb?
[15:03] <hugodor> yep
[15:03] <sipior> cipherSimian: i'm guessing the title contains the words "iPhone" and "Emulator" ;-)
[15:03] <hugodor> mount you 16 gig as a folder
[15:03] <hugodor> then you can throw all the files you want on it
[15:04]  * cipherSimian realizes he deserves that
[15:04] <Deevz> nice
[15:04] <bening> i don't have arabic keyboard
[15:04] <Deevz> I have no prior experience with linux
[15:04] <sellout_> DeVnOrE: you have a 4 gig drive that is not clicking? props.
[15:04] <Deevz> I just dont want all the packages to install on the 4gb drive
[15:04] <sellout_> Deevz: *
[15:04] <ned_> how can I get the IP
[15:05] <Deevz> sellout_: it's a ssd
[15:05] <LjL> ned_: what IP?
[15:05] <sellout_> Deevz: ahh...
[15:05] <Deevz> on my eee pc that is
[15:05] <Formode> Getting this error when I log in: "User's $HOME/dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being saved. ..." Anyone know a fix?
[15:05] <Depressed> does the server edition have wubi.exe on it?
[15:05]  * sellout_ high fives Deevz 
[15:05] <Deevz> :)
[15:05] <sellout_> Deevz: Currently talkign to you from my 900 series
[15:05] <Deevz> sellout_, thats nice, I have a 901 :)
[15:05] <sellout_> Got the 16 gig ssd here.
[15:06] <ubd> is it possible to install ubuntu on pc1 and then plug it to pc2 which is not identical. will it boot then?
[15:06] <LjL> ned_: "ipconfig" will give you the local IP
[15:06] <LjL> ned_: http://www.whatismyip.com will give you the external IP
[15:06] <sellout_> the 901's are nice... but I knew I could not survive on anything less than a 16 gig.
[15:06] <Depressed> (in other words, can I install it inside windows?)
[15:06] <sellout_> then again ssd chips are getting cheap
[15:06] <Deevz> sellout_: same, mine came with xandros so I had 20gb total in the first place
[15:06] <sellout_> upgrade is not so hard
[15:06] <sipior> Formode: what are the permissions on the file $HOME/.dmrc?
[15:06] <sellout_> Deevz: Ah ok. I see.
[15:07] <sipior> Formode: might be that it is being ignored because the permission set is too lax.
[15:07] <sellout_> Deevz: Format the thing and make the 16 giger root and the 4 giger home
[15:07] <bening> hi
[15:07] <bening> its ningth
[15:07] <sellout_> and if you want extra home just pop a 20$ 16 gig SD card in and mount it as a folder inside your home dir for media or whatever
[15:07] <Formode> sipior: I have "Owner: Formode \\ Read/write" "Group: Formode \\ None" and "Others \\ None"
[15:08] <Deevz> sellout_: what is the diff between home and root?
[15:08] <storbeck> Is that guy with the iPhone question still here?
[15:08] <sipior> Formode: hmm, that does look correct.
[15:09] <linduxed> i would need to check what groups can access folder X and add another group to that list, how do i do that?
[15:09] <sellout_> Deevz: root is / that is your base directory for everything. That is also what all your applications are going to be isntalld to in subfolders spread out ofer bin, sbin, var, opt. etc.
[15:09] <ned_> I ask about UBUNTU
[15:09] <Formode> sipior, I just changed the Group to Formode with Read/write... Maybe that fixed it?
[15:09] <sellout_> wheraas you can easily mount a drive on top of /home which is where all your documents and personal settings will reside
[15:09] <Deevz> I see
[15:10] <dougl> I am currently running 8.04 and having problems with 'mc' (midnight commander) tying up on of my nfs mounts to another box running 8.10... my problem is I cannot see where mc is running and killall mc and killall -9 mc does not kill the process - any help?
[15:10] <Deevz> Problem is that the 16gb drive holds all my docs atm
[15:10] <sellout_> Deevz: so head up to wal-mart and grab a 16 gig usb stick for 30$ and solve your problem ;-)
[15:10] <Wunderbar> apparently can't find a make file
[15:10] <Wunderbar> I can
[15:10] <Wunderbar> :(
[15:11] <sellout_> or get a 16 gig SD card for even cheaper and move your docs and what not to that
[15:11] <sipior> Formode: i'm not optimistic, since on my own system, the group bits aren't set at all. did you make any changes to your home directory/setup recently?
[15:11] <sellout_> You will thank yourself for the extra space
[15:11] <Deevz> sellout_: Ill go for an even cheaper solution and use my other computer has a network drive
[15:11] <sellout_> Deevz: there you go :-)
[15:11] <Formode> sipior, I was unpacking a gentoo stage3 tarball and accidently uppacked it into my home directory, that's when it started.
[15:12] <sellout_> Formode: ouch!
[15:12] <JEDIDIAH__> if mc is still running, you should be able to find it and kill it directly.
[15:12] <Wunderbar> won't 'make' the makefile
[15:12] <sellout_> Formode: i did that in root once, by accident >.<
[15:12] <JEDIDIAH__> I usually just use pkill
[15:12] <Formode> sellout_ It was a pain in the ass.
[15:12] <Formode> sellout_ OUCH.
[15:12] <sipior> Formode: i believe it :-)
[15:12] <Wunderbar> when I point it in the right direction asks for a rule, wtf...
[15:13] <sellout_> Formode: almost as bad as the time I somehow was half awake and did `chmod -R 777 /*`
[15:13] <sellout_> makes a lot of things unhappy
[15:13] <Formode> sellout_... >>
[15:13] <storbeck> Formode: Eh, that's nothing. I accidently wiped all of our drives on our backup server at work :P
[15:13] <storbeck> And I work for a webhosting company
[15:13] <Formode> Okay, one other bug.
[15:13] <Lasivian> anyone know of a 2D map drawing program for Ubuntu?
[15:14] <Formode> I'm also getting: "Could not update ICEauthority file /home/_user_/.ICEauthority." when I boot.
[15:14] <sellout_> storbeck: haw! I have a similar story. I also runa  webhosting company... and one of my interns was trying to clear his home folder as root and did rm -rf /
[15:14]  * global_admin says hello
[15:14] <sipior> Formode: could you try setting permissions to 644: "chmod 644 .dmrc", and make sure your home directory is not open with "chmod 700 ~"? might solve the problem for you.
[15:14] <sellout_> storbeck: he killed it after it cleaned out bin and sbin thankfully...
[15:14] <storbeck> lol
[15:14]  * sweeny says hello
[15:15] <sellout_> storbeck: he did not come forward right away. the bash log showed him starting it, killing it, then running ls about 20 times, then exiting.
[15:15] <sweeny> guys can you help with xchat running on xubuntu?
[15:15] <storbeck> haha
[15:15] <Formode> sipior, okay that should fix it. :) Any idea what to do with "Could not update ICEauthority file /home/_user_/.ICEauthority."
[15:15] <sweeny> i am unable to send or receive files
[15:15] <Lou_> Would some C expert please tell me why nautilus is crashing?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/134255/
[15:15] <mattgyver83> When i try to connect to my ubuntu machine (via windows) over the network it asks for a username and pw, anything i enter is incorrect, any ideas?
[15:15] <jackCards> hello all
[15:16] <boerzel2> hi out there. i am using 8.10 64-bit (Intrepid) with GNOME and I would like to change the font size of some kde-programs, I use. how can I do that?
[15:17] <jackCards> hi all anyone out there know how to contorl a link light on a network switch... idea being to locate a unused patch on a network switch ???
[15:17] <daGraveR> mattgyver83: has it worked before? Did you create the user with smbpasswd?
[15:17] <ruhaan> what tool can i use to manage 2 wired networks better
[15:17] <Wunderbar> terminfo/termcap not found? what does this mean
[15:17] <disastro_totale> ciao a tuuti
[15:17] <LjL> !it | disastro_totale
[15:17] <ruhaan> i ahve tried the default network manager
[15:17] <ruhaan> and it was a mess
[15:17] <mattgyver83> daGraveR, no i never created a user with smbpasswd thats probably it
[15:17] <Wunderbar> I was told configure make install is the easiest thing known to man
[15:17] <ruhaan> and wicd doesnt support 2 wired networks
[15:17] <mattgyver83> daGraveR is it pretty basic?
[15:18] <Wunderbar> why are there so many goddamn errors..
[15:18] <daGraveR> mattgyver83: yes
[15:18] <jackCards> check also on that its added to the smba password file
[15:18] <dako1> hi all, there's a way (maibe a .conf file?!?) to change the X resolution in intrepid? /etc/X11/xorg.conf do nothing and  'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' don't work for me. gnome works fine, but gdm and fluxbox have a larger resolution cannot fit on my LCD with 'strange' effects...
[15:18] <sweeny> can anyone offer help on xchat?
[15:18] <sipior> Wunderbar: just what it says. configure is easy, but you do need to have the library dependencies met. you probably need to install ncurses
[15:19] <Wunderbar> apparently
[15:19] <daGraveR> mattgyver83: sudo smbpasswd -a <user>
[15:19] <sipior> Wunderbar: try "sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev", and see if that improves things.
[15:19] <Formode> Anyone know how to resolve the boot bug ""Could not update ICEauthority file /home/_user_/.ICEauthority." "
[15:19] <mattgyver83> Thank you guys
[15:19] <sipior> Formode: do you have a backup of your home directory? this would be the time for it...
[15:19] <mattgyver83> daGraveR, it made root my user, is that normal?
[15:20] <dandre> what would you suggest to have an xterm like for ttyS0 serial port?
[15:20] <Formode> sipior No. That's the only remaining bug xD
[15:20] <Formode> sipior it boots fine, I just have those two windows poping up xD
[15:20] <linduxed> i would need to check what groups can access folder X and add another group to that list, how do i do that?
[15:20] <Wunderbar> thanks sipior
[15:20] <daGraveR> mattgyver83: only if you forgot to replace <user> with the actual username :)
[15:20] <CircuitBug> how do we remove and add stuff in the programs menu in wine?
[15:21] <hwilde> is it ever necessary to dump the arp table in ubuntu, or is that a thing of the past and for other distros to flail with
[15:21] <sipior> Formode: you can delete the file, it should be regenerated when you next start X.
[15:21] <mattgyver83> Is there a way to disable the root usn from connecting now?
[15:21] <lantjie> hallo guys
[15:21] <daGraveR> mattgyver83: sudo smbpasswd -d root
[15:21] <mattgyver83> your the best
[15:22] <CircuitBug> how do we remove and add stuff in the programs menu?
[15:22] <lantjie> i have question. how do i install perl on my machine
[15:22] <lantjie> ?
[15:22] <CircuitBug> in wine?
[15:22] <hwilde> CircuitBug, right click, edit menus
[15:23] <erUSUL> lantjie: perl comes preinstalled in any ubuntu install
[15:23] <CircuitBug> nothing happens
[15:23] <progre55> hey everybody! Has anyone had experience installing VoipZoom on ubuntu? please help me out
[15:23] <Paolo88> Hi! I must cut and paste a avi file. What program I can use?
[15:23] <lantjie> erUSUL: i tried it, but it doesn't give me any output
[15:24] <erUSUL> lantjie: what have you tried?
[15:24] <adac> is there a simple program that can password protect my usb stick? On mount there should appear then the dialog to enter the password
[15:24] <lantjie> erUSUL: i typed perl in my terminal and yet i don't get nothing
[15:24] <erUSUL> lantjie: perl -e 'print "Hello World!\n"'
[15:25] <erUSUL> lantjie: it works here
[15:25] <storbeck> Paolo88: ^c and ^v
[15:25] <detrix> where can I get help with the seti@home project?  Is there a better channel to discuss this?
[15:25] <lantjie> erUSUL: perl doesn't open
[15:25] <roadfish> detrix: phone home
[15:25] <erUSUL> lantjie: perl is a command line program what so you spect to open?
[15:25] <detrix> roadfish:  lol
[15:26] <erUSUL> Paolo88: avidemux ?
[15:26] <sipior> lantjie: does "perl -v" print anything?
[15:26] <storbeck> sudo apt-get install perl
[15:27] <lantjie> sipior: yes it does
[15:27] <lantjie> how further?
[15:27] <sipior> lantjie: congratulations, perl is installed ;-)
[15:27] <Paolo88> erUSUL: ok, tanks
[15:27] <erUSUL> Paolo88: no problem
[15:28] <lantjie> sipior: how do i get the commandline off perl
[15:29] <sipior> lantjie: you'll need to learn how to write programs in perl, using a text editor. you can pick up Larry Wall's "Programming Perl" which covers the language in agonising detail.
[15:29] <erUSUL> lantjie: it would help if you tell us exactly what do you want to do ...
[15:29] <lantjie> how do i get the perl commandline like in ipython or python
[15:29] <martiiin> If I download ubuntu 8.10 iso, does it include the option to boot like Live CD?
[15:30] <storbeck> lantjie: There is none
[15:30] <lantjie> sipior:i got a book wiley perl programming
[15:30] <sipior> lantjie: oh, i see what you mean. i think there's an interactive shell called "psh", which might be useful to you.
[15:30] <Wunderbar> ok, this is odd, authentication failure but the password isn't the problem...
[15:30] <Deevz> sellout_: where did you find the drivers for your eee pc?
[15:30] <dudus> martiiin: Only on the Desktop version, not in thye Alternate Version
[15:30] <lantjie> thanx guys let me try it out
[15:31] <Wunderbar> attempting to install in root, to make sure Ive system>admin>user setting>unlock to make sure the password is correct
[15:31] <Wunderbar> it is
[15:31] <martiiin> dudus Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex)?
[15:31] <martiiin> ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso
[15:31] <Wunderbar> but 'su' won't recognise the same password. what have I done wrong?
[15:31] <lantjie> hey guys can i now program from psh?
[15:31] <sander_m> Hello. The Ubuntu wiki says that the CACert.org root certificates are in the ca-certificates package, but they are not
[15:32] <lantjie> psh
[15:32] <sander_m> How can I install them?
[15:32] <sipior> Wunderbar: you want to try "sudo make install", i think
[15:32] <dudus> martiiin: yep
[15:33] <Wunderbar> thanks sipior, I tried to follow the instructions to the letter...
[15:33] <progre55> hey everybody! Has anyone had experience installing VoipZoom on ubuntu? please help me out
[15:34] <krishnan> hi. how can i create an URL like http://blog.mydomain.com on my own server for www.mydomain.com. my server runs on hardy server edition.
[15:34] <martiiin> progre55 state your question directly
[15:35] <progre55> martiiin, could you at least suggest me a program to install on ubuntu for voipzoom calls?
[15:35] <progre55> martiiin, or, can I use some other sip-programs?
[15:35] <storbeck> Wunderbar: Use sudo -i
[15:35] <martiiin> I have no idea about voipzoom, I was just givning you an advice
[15:35] <progre55> martiiin, oh okay :) thanks ma
[15:35] <progre55> n
[15:35] <Wunderbar> already resolved storbeck, thanks though
[15:35] <lantjie> hey guys is perl570delta good for perl programming
[15:35] <lantjie> ?
[15:36] <storbeck> lantjie: That is a question for #perl
[15:37] <lantjie> storbeck: oke, but which do you think that i can use ?
[15:37] <bosky101> is there a difference between cron and crond?
[15:37] <storbeck> lantjie: Again, that's a question for #perl
[15:37] <sam___> hello I have an admin question
[15:37] <sam___> Am I on the good channel?
[15:37] <quibbler> sam___: just ask
[15:37] <storbeck> We won't know until you ask
[15:37] <LjL> sam___: if it's an admin question about Ubuntu, then yes
[15:37] <lantjie> storbeck: oke many thanx
[15:38] <sam___> Tanks
[15:38] <sam___> I'm on ubuntu 8.10
[15:38] <sam___> and I try to create chroot environments
[15:38] <krishnan> hi. how can i create an URL like http://blog.mydomain.com on my own server for www.mydomain.com. my server runs on hardy server edition.
[15:38] <quibbler> !enter | sam___
[15:39] <sam___> Is there a way to change the hostname for a chroot bash?
[15:39] <Torikun> You can  try hosename foobar
[15:39] <Frijolie> anybody in here know about claws-mail filters and processing rules?
[15:40] <HenrikV> how do you upgrade from 7.10 to 8.10 over ssh ?
[15:40] <krishnan> hi. how can i create an URL like http://blog.mydomain.com on my own server for www.mydomain.com. my server runs on hardy server edition.
[15:40] <krishnan> HenrikV: its easy connect through ssh and carry out the same procedure
[15:41] <dennda> krishnan: You need to set up an A-Record or CNAME Record for that domain in your dns settings (you likely have a webinterface for that from your hoster) and your webserver needs to know it should serve that subdomain.
[15:42] <krishnan> dennda: hmm how to create it on my server
[15:42] <dennda> As far as I am aware, you can't. You need to access your domains DNS settings
[15:43] <HenrikV> krishnan, hmm. same as what? the help page on the topic refers to on-screen instructions
[15:43] <xnguard> Where can I get help with resolvconf?
[15:43] <dennda> You should look for that at your domain/hosting provider
[15:43] <mrwes> Got a new 1TB WD drive w/ enclosure - plan on sharing that via samba; format it ext3?
[15:43] <disappearedng> Hey everyone, I just downloaded a plugin for gedit. How do I install it ?
[15:43] <Lasivian> anyone know of a 2D map drawing program for Ubuntu?
[15:43] <sam___> When i use the hostname command, it change the hostname for all my computer. I need to have many shell opened, sometime in my real root and others in chroot shell. If I use hostname, I have some strange bugs on my current session (perhaps because of dbus).
[15:44] <dennda> mrwes: Good plan, if it's always attached to a machine capable of reading/writing ext3 (NOT MS-Windows)
[15:44] <LjL> mrwes: uh... if it's portable and you might want to connect it to Windows computers, i'm not sure - i'd be wondering about ext3 vs NTFS
[15:44] <LjL> Lasivian: map as in street map?
[15:44] <dennda> mrwes: DON'T format it with FAT
[15:44] <Frijolie> I guess that's a negative...?
[15:44] <krishnan> HenrikV: go to www.ubuntu.com and they have a detailed information on the same
[15:44] <LjL> dennda: will FAT even format on a 1TB drive?
[15:45] <mrwes> LjL, / dennda : well it'l be connected to my server -- static. I have a small 30gb drive w/ enclosure I use to for portability
[15:45] <disappearedng> any1 here installed a gedit plugin before?
[15:45] <dennda> LjL: FAT is limited...
[15:45] <LjL> mrwes: then ext3 should be fine
[15:45] <HenrikV> krishnan, I'm reading that information. Doesn't seem very detailed to me
[15:45] <mrwes> LjL, : ok.. thanks -- that's the plan then
[15:45] <dennda> mrwes: If your server is running some linux OS, use ext3
[15:45] <krishnan> HenrikV: send me the URL
[15:46] <mrwes> LjL: that'll take what? couple of days? heh
[15:46] <mrwes> dennda, 8.04
[15:46] <LjL> mrwes: formatting it? nah...
[15:46] <dennda> Use ext3 then.
[15:46] <mrwes> yah
[15:46] <bosky101> oye!... my shell script to scp seems to be running from commandline, but not in the cron that happen when i logout and at the designated times... any hints?
[15:46] <krishnan> HenrikV: u want to upgrade from which version to which one?
[15:46] <dennda> mrwes: Formatting it will take like a few seconds
[15:46] <LjL> mrwes: just do a quick format
[15:46] <LjL> mrwes: (i.e. the standard mkfs format)
[15:47] <bosky101> does anyone know where the cron error log lies ?
[15:47] <mrwes> LjL; ok...from the command line use mkfs right?
[15:47] <dennda> (Note that the data is not physically destroyed when doing a quick format)
[15:47] <LjL> mrwes: mkfs -t ext3
[15:47] <dennda> mrwes: mkfs.ext3 ...
[15:47] <mrwes> LjL; w/ the correct /dev
[15:47] <dennda> of course :-)
[15:47] <LjL> dennda: (not that it matters much, but you're not supposed to actually use mkfs.* directly, but rather mkfs -t <fs>)
[15:47] <mrwes> :)
[15:47] <dennda> LjL: Isn't the latter just dispatched to mkfs.<fs>?
[15:48] <arvind_khadri> dennda, /sbin/mkfs.ext3
[15:48] <Lou_> Several programs, including nautilus, crash when trying to load since an upgrade several months ago. Would someone please help me find what is wrong?
[15:48] <LjL> dennda: at the end of the day - yes it is. but it's akin to calling /etc/init.d/whatever directly instead of using invoke-rc.d... it's just not the interface you're supposed to use, "in theory" the underlying mechanism might change at any time
[15:48] <Lasivian> LjL: RPG map
[15:48] <disappearedng> can someone here help me out with a gedit plugin
[15:48] <mrwes> thanks guys
[15:49] <dennda> LjL: Sure.
[15:49] <LjL> Lasivian: no idea then
[15:49] <akahige1> I was just dealing with today's repo updates and one of them was Thunderbird. the description said it was a transitional package before the new name. I can't find anything at all about T-bird being renamed. Anybody know what's up?
[15:50] <LjL> akahige1: they're merely renaming "mozilla-thunderbird" to "thunderbird" methinks
[15:51] <tritium> LjL: correct
[15:51] <LjL> akahige1: the package is changing names, not the software itself
[15:51] <tritium> akahige1: you can tell by noting that mozilla-thunderbird now depends on thunderbird
[15:51] <sipior> Lasivian: this might be something for you: http://www.rptools.net/index.php?page=maptool
[15:51] <akahige1> LjL: really? that's... weird. LOL thanks
[15:52] <akahige1> tritium: thanks for the clarification
[15:52] <tritium> akahige1: sure.

[15:55] <perlmonkey> hi is anyone having a problem with Firefox Google toolbar search in Ubuntu 8.10? when I click the magnifying glass button to submit a search it doesn't search
[15:55] <joanadarc> good day, ubuntu users. I'm new to the linux world and I'd like to ask what would be the best choice of FS for a /home and a / partition. I'm thinking about XFS. Any good article? I'm a home user... thanks
[15:56] <tritium> joanadarc: for general home use, stick with ext3.
[15:56] <LjL> joanadarc: there is no general "best" choice really, but just going with ext3 will at least give reasonable guarantees of data integrity - and it's the default

[16:05] <Mr_Grieves|> I made an equiv for openbabel at version 2.2.9999, since it is an svn version. Kalzium requires openbabel >= 2.2.0
[16:05] <Mr_Grieves|> I've installed the equiv, but apt keeps telling me I need openbabel when I mark kalzium for installation.

[16:46] <satansaunt> what would be the best way for me to completely back up my system, do a fresh install and then restore everything including all my app settins? i have a secondary external hard drive so- will ubuntu install recognise that?
[16:46] <AnyaJ> what is the best way to remove libraries installed in a computer that were never installed with make install; ?  rm -r folderName?
[16:46] <Pici> LogicFan: We generally do not upgrade gnome versions within a stable release. So yes, that will need to wait for Jaunty.

[16:46] <shadelayer> LjL: could you please ban me
[16:46] <LogicFan> Pici, thanks!
[16:47] <AnyaJ> the problem with rm -r folderName is that it asks you if you want to remove EVERY single one of those darned files and there are thousands... help?
[16:48] <AnyaJ> is there a way to force delete a folder w/o it asking you about every single file?
[16:48] <bigrigger> AnyaJ: rm -rf  dir/  use extreme caution

[16:59] <cs02rm0> found what i wanted i think: mhddfs combines multiple mount points into one, which maybe i can then share over the network
[17:00] <AnyaJ> i want to remove some manually installed libraries and in the /usr/local file, i see the library's .la and .so files
[17:00] <AnyaJ> i want to delete them to get rid of the remains of what is there
[17:00] <AnyaJ> is this ok to do?
[17:01] <cipherZen> evantravers: most definitely. basically, you just want to pipe your RDP session over SSH, correct?
[17:01] <ThePhantom> Hi there, I just installed Kubuntu 8.10 on an older machine and it has built in Intel 82865G graphics driver built in, for some reason Xorg did not configure the drivers properly and I cannont find outhow to configure it
[17:01] <AnyaJ> can anyone help answer that?  thanks!!!
[17:02] <clarc> can it cause problem for distribution upgrades when i install vlc 0.9.8 in hardy from a PPA?
[17:03] <devzzz> yeah you said to come here and ask...
[17:03] <evantravers> cipherZen: Hmm... I guess. I'm really not sure how it works. :P I have an existing gnome user I want to log into specifically. I'm a newbie, trying to make my way in the world
[17:03] <unknownguy> ello?
[17:04] <unknownguy> i need help makin a network server
[17:04] <evantravers> cipherZen: I guess I reasoned that since I can VNC in remotely if I log into the box locally, so if I could log in through terminal remotely, I could VNC in.
[17:04] <unknownguy> am i the only one talking here
[17:05] <dayo> unknownguy: try #ubuntu-server
[17:05] <unknownguy> oh come on
[17:05] <sipior> unknownguy: uh, is there a problem?
[17:05] <javierg> Hello, I trying to setup a SOCKS proxy for VNC. I have setup a SOCKS for firefox using port 9999. My question is, can I bind another port as well (in this case port 5900) to go through the SSH?
[17:05] <evantravers> unknownguy: be patient... all of the people here are nice, and they aren't living just to help you. They tasks to do to.
[17:06] <unknownguy> ok then how do i make my own network server?\
[17:06] <Wunderbar> hi kyle
[17:06] <cipherZen> javierg: you should be able to set up as many SOCKS proxies as you want
[17:07] <sipior> unknownguy: try asking a more precise question. you're more likely to get a response.
[17:07] <cipherZen> evantravers: It's fine, we're all newbies sometime. you should be able to start the vncserver when you ssh in, and then connect over VNC
[17:07] <javierg> How do I specify them? Currently I use  ssh -D 9999 <IP OF SSH Server> -l <Username>
[17:07] <dayo> unknownguy: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts
[17:08] <javierg> cipherZen, How do I specify them? Currently I use  ssh -D 9999 <IP OF SSH Server> -l <Username>
[17:08] <cipherZen> javierg: i would just open up another terminal shell and execute the same command again with a different port number
[17:09] <unknownguy> ok um does anybody have a myspace account?
[17:09] <javierg> cipherZen, Ah ok, I was going to do that, but didn't know if there was a way to specify both in one command, or another way (less steps, terminals)
[17:09] <dayo> unknownguy: dude, your questions are the vaguest most random i've ever seen in here.
[17:10] <Pokemans> Who wants to cyber?
[17:10] <cipherZen> javierg : if you dont want to have a bunch of terminals open, you can specify ssh to run in the background, so you execute them both in the same bash session
[17:10] <cipherZen> javierg: just use the -f flag as well
[17:11] <javierg> cipherZen, Ok, I'll try and figure that out. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
[17:11] <cipherZen> np, hope it helps
[17:11] <quibbler> unknownguy: you could start here: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html
[17:12] <tahhi> if i wanted to make Ubuntu mount "any" vfat-based-drive using specific option, how would i do that?
[17:13] <ThePhantom> Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
[17:13] <cipherZen> javierg: you actually need the -Nf flags, sorry. just tried it myself.
[17:13] <cipherZen> ThePhantom: what was your question
[17:13] <evantravers> :cipherZen Thanks! What would be the name of the package for the built in VNC server? (remote desktop, whatever it's called.)
[17:14] <javierg> cipherZen, Can you type the command out. I just did a ssh -help and didn't see -Nf I don't know what flags those are.
[17:14] <baz_> i had a nice, secure, complex password for my user account but I changed it to something much simpler because it gets really annoying to type it each time for sudo. Is there a way to login using a complex password but then have a different less secure password for sudo? Anyways sudo only works if i am in my account so this wouldnt be insecure...
[17:14] <evantravers> umm... i would say always use a complex for sudo
[17:14] <evantravers> sheesh
[17:14] <evantravers> sudo can break everything
[17:15] <baz_> evantravers, sudo is only available after u login, its not a real account
[17:15] <ThePhantom> CipzherZen: My question/problem, just installed Kubuntu 8.10 and the drivers for Xorg did not setup any 3d profile or graphics drivers for my built in card
[17:15] <evantravers> oh, i'm sorry
[17:15] <evantravers> stupid me
[17:15] <evantravers> learn something new every day
[17:15] <Ginbuntu> I can't find any theme I like :(
[17:15] <dayo> Ginbuntu: join the club
[17:16] <evantravers> hahaha.
[17:16] <cipherZen> javierg: i tried this command and it worked for me: ssh -Nf -D $PROXY_PORT username@ssh-server.com
[17:16] <Ginbuntu> dayo, I am starting to miss the UI of OS X
[17:16] <evantravers> i'm running OSX on my main work machine...
[17:16] <evantravers> but i love ubuntu
[17:16] <evantravers> i want to get a netbook and stick ubuntu on it.
[17:16] <Ginbuntu> why can\t ubuntu has a better looking theme than OS X
[17:16] <cipherZen> evantravers: I need a little more info I guess on your setup, are you using VNC or are you using RDP. or do you know haha
[17:17] <baz_> evantravers, i did that on my eee - but i strongly recommend xubuntu
[17:17] <cipherZen> and you won't be sorry about the netbook...ive got one, and i love it
[17:17] <salah_> Is there any possibilities to delete the last panel so I don't have any desktop panels at all?
[17:17] <dayo> Ginbuntu: to be fair, it's been a few months since i last looked for gnome themes. but last time i checked, i didnt see anything i really liked
[17:17] <Ginbuntu> evantravers, I just erased OS X from my machine and installed Ubuntu
[17:17] <evantravers> ginbuntu: I'm so so sorry. :D
[17:17] <baz_> osX is great if u replace your penis with a vagina
[17:18] <cipherZen> Ginbuntu: i'm so happy for you.
[17:18] <bazhang> !ot
[17:18] <evantravers> baz_: good grief
[17:18] <evantravers> cipherZen: believe me, I would use ubuntu all the time if I was l337 enough
[17:18] <cipherZen> ThePhantom: have you tried installing the restricted drivevrs for your graphic card yet?
[17:19] <amikrop> Hello, what package do I need to install to get conio.h?
[17:19] <cipherZen> amikrop: what exactly are you trying to do?
[17:19] <amikrop> cipherz: to compile and run a program
[17:19] <amikrop> cipherZen:
[17:19] <ThePhantom> cipzherzen, I'm new to kubuntu and it's resources how exactly can I locate the drivers for an Intel 82865G graphics adapter
[17:19] <cipherZen> amikrop: have you done sudo apt-get install build-essential yet?
[17:19] <sipior> amikrop: that's a windows header, isn't it? the equivalent here would be ncurses.
[17:20] <amikrop> cipherZen: sure
[17:20] <amikrop> sipior: oh, thank you
[17:20] <cipherZen> amikrop: see sipior, quick google search says he's right
[17:21] <pregier> is it possible to search launchpad for bugs by package name?
[17:21] <monestri> anyone have any luck getting recordmydesktop working with sound?
[17:21] <monestri> i'm getting
[17:21] <scout> i'm having a problem with mysql and jdbc in ubuntu
[17:21] <scout> i get this error "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
[17:21] <scout> doesn anyone in here have a suggestion to how to solve this problem?
[17:21] <monestri> "broken pipe" errors, there's a bug report, but no responses
[17:21] <cipherZen> ThePhantom: you shouldnt have any for that chipset. just checking to see if you had any to install
[17:22] <cipherZen> ThePhantom: is the problem that you just dont have any of the 3D effects?
[17:22] <ThePhantom> I tried running SuperTux, and I got frame buffer out of range
[17:22] <Freddo26200> hello
[17:23] <stepomaticc> i don't want the F1 key to launch help.Keyboard shortcuts in gnome: launch helpBrowser is disabled
[17:23] <monestri> http://dpaste.com/16988/
[17:23] <stepomaticc> but F1 still launch the help browser
[17:23] <ThePhantom> cipherZen, I know SuperTux works on this hardware as I had no problem with Mandriva
[17:23] <monestri> here's the error i'm getting
[17:23] <stepomaticc> any idee
[17:24] <slerder> Hey guys I currently have crappy motherboard with onboard graphics from ATI (and have catalyst installed). However, today I am upgrading my mobo and installing a ATI Radeon HD 4830. I was wondering if there was anything i had to do software wise because last time when i went from Nvidia to onboard ATI it was a headache, no image was displayed. But this time im going from onboard ATI to an ATI card. Thanks
[17:24] <cipherZen> ThePhantom: are you sure the versions and such are the same? what was the exact error it gave you?
[17:24] <nacho> hi! I've installed ubuntu 8.10 over a macbook v2.1 and I can't configure the sound... I was reading some forums to solve it, but nobody withou the same problem. asoundconf list doesn't recognise any target
[17:25] <cipherZen> slerder: shouldn't be any major conflicts that I see of the top of my head, but then again, it is ATI...:P
[17:26] <slerder> cipherzen, what is ATI known to not get along well with linux or ubuntu?
[17:27] <cipherZen> slerder: maybe others have had different experiences, but for me, ATIs drivers have been buggy beyond all belief
[17:27] <slerder> cipherzen, on what OS?
[17:27] <stefan_can> nacho, what kernel ?
[17:28] <pregier> slerder:  I've seen the same as cipherZen, especially in linux but even in winders at times
[17:28] <nacho> 2.6.27-11-generic
[17:28] <stefan_can> yes I wonder when will ATI work well with wine...
[17:28] <jamesclayden1983> is there an easy way in 8.10 to set the permissions on a folder and all subfolders and files to read only for "other" users. i have tried the "apply permissions to enclosed folders/files button and it donen't do it
[17:28] <slerder> pregier, well im not going to game in ubuntu.. Wait, so you can game on wine with Nvidia cards?
[17:29] <stefan_can> nacho, what does this say :  alsactl -v
[17:29] <LjL> jamesclayden1983: from the console, "chmod +R o-w /di/rec/to/ry/"
[17:29] <pregier> slerder:  wine works well with both ati and nvidia, but especially well in my experience with nvidia
[17:29] <cipherZen> slerder: every linux distro i've tried since i started using linux...my old laptop had an ATI gpu, and it was always an issue
[17:29] <nacho> alsactl version 1.0.14rc2
[17:29] <cipherZen> same with a desktop that i have as well with a newer ATI card
[17:29] <nacho> I compile alsa-drivers from the web
[17:30] <stefan_can> nacho you must upgrade you alsa drivers
[17:30] <jamesclayden1983> ljl, will have have to do that comand for every folder
[17:30] <nacho> stefan_can, I donwloaded the current version from alsa web, and compile it manually
[17:30] <stepomaticc> F1 == help; me don't want
[17:30] <LjL> jamesclayden1983: no, the "-R" means it'll work recursively in subfolders. by the way, it's "-R", not "+R", i make a typo there
[17:30] <nacho> I need any more that alsa-driver*?
[17:30] <stefan_can> nacho, well it can't be the newest version as I have alsactl version 1.0.15  on a hardy install
[17:30] <jamesclayden1983> thank you ljl
[17:31] <stefan_can> last time I did it it was version 18
[17:31] <nacho> stefan_can, go see to compile alsa-ctl... I think that it's another packet
[17:32] <stefan_can> nacho, check : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[17:32] <stefan_can> nacho, latest version is 1.0.19
[17:32] <stefan_can> http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Download
[17:33] <nacho> stefan_can, I did it yet... but perhaps I did anything wrong, so go repeat
[17:33]  * stepomaticc maybe rm -R / then F1 ok
[17:33] <neonfreon> Hello, i want to start a pptp connection up after eth0 comes online - i have the pptp config done so i can just do 'pon blah' to start it, but I need to know where to hook into my network startup to add that command.  Any tips?
[17:33] <LjL> !danger | stepomaticc
[17:33] <stefan_can> nacho, if you have version 14 you definately did something wrong
[17:34] <neonfreon> ahh
[17:34] <neonfreon> dhclient hooks
[17:34] <beli> lol
[17:34] <nacho> stefan_can, sure! ;) thanks

[17:37] <totylkoja> hi
[17:37] <kantor> hi, I found a bug in 8.10 how can I report it ?
[17:37] <kantor> where
[17:37] <LjL> !bugs > kantor    (kantor, see the private message from ubottu)
[17:37] <aoeu> launchpad
[17:37] <totylkoja> milw0rm.com ;)
[17:37] <aoeu> !bug
[17:37] <kantor> but you need to have an account there, right ?
[17:37] <LjL> !etiquette > stepomaticc    (stepomaticc, see the private message from ubottu)
[17:38] <jamesclayden1983> ljl, not sure if you are still here i found that the code you gave didn't work chmod +R o-w /di/rec/to/ry/ did work
[17:38] <LjL> kantor: uhm, i don't think so. not entirely sure.
[17:38] <kantor> ok
[17:38] <LjL> jamesclayden1983: err, that *is* what i gave you... aside from +R being -R
[17:38] <skippycostin> I am running ubuntu 8.10 and cannot ping any local FQDN, I can ping any machine and I get back my IP and the FQDN in the ping output
[17:38] <skippycostin> I cannot ping my FQDN it times out.  any clues?
[17:39] <jamesclayden1983> ljl, chmod +R 755 /di/rec/to/ry/ is what worked
[17:39] <aoeu> shouldn't it be chmod -R 755 /dir/rec/to/ry
[17:39] <aoeu> or --recursive
[17:39] <sipior> skippycostin: do you have other network connection problems, or just with icmp?
[17:39] <jamesclayden1983> is should, i misstyped again
[17:40] <LjL> jamesclayden1983: 755 and o-w are similar. 755 means user can do anything, but group and others can't write. o-w means "take away write ability from other users"
[17:41] <skippycostin> just ping I haven't tested anything else
[17:41] <jamesclayden1983> ljl: i understand now, they had no permissions to start with so that is why the first code didn't work..... thank you
[17:43] <sipior> skippycostin: a couple of possibilities: 1) the machines are configured to ignore pings, and drop them silently, leaving you with a timeout (not very likely) 2) you have a bad routing table (view it with "/sbin/route -n"), and you need to set a route to the network that you wish to reach.
[17:44] <kantor> somebody had the screen freeze, screen blank when logged off with fglrx installed ?
[17:45] <skippycostin> I can ping the machine just not the FQDN
[17:45] <skippycostin> so it's not routing issues right?
[17:45] <sipior> skippycostin: in that case, it's probably a dns issue
[17:46] <skippycostin> sipior, any idea how one might fix it?
[17:46] <sipior> skippycostin: if by "ping the machine", you mean "ping the ip address, instead of the name".
[17:46] <sipior> skippycostin: yes, you can contact the guy who administers your local dns :-)
[17:47] <sipior> skippycostin: an easy way to tell: try "dig <hostname>", and see what comes back.
[17:47] <sipior> skippycostin: install "dnsutils" if you don't have dig.
[17:47] <skippycostin> sipior, pinging the ip and hostname work, just not the fqdn..
[17:48] <sipior> skippycostin: then what does dig say about the fqdn?
[17:48] <skippycostin> sipior, where do you want me to paste the result?
[17:49] <sipior> skippycostin: whichever pastebin you like, but i need to be gone in about three minutes, so you'll need to ask someone else to take a look :-)
[17:49] <skippycostin> oh ok thanks for the help
[17:49] <sipior> skippycostin: good luck sorting things out
[17:49] <skippycostin> ta

[18:00] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey everyone I have a USB hub 4 port on a dell monitor and I can get it to read my USB flash drive if I do a lsusb to "turn on" the hub as it appears that if I have nothing connected to it for 10 seconds it "turns off" any way to keep the hub from turning off?
[18:00] <dscastro> hey.. anyone did samba authentication on windows 2003 R2 ?
[18:00] <dscastro> i can't
[18:00] <THE_GFR|WORK> or at least any way to keep the hub from going to sleep?
[18:02] <Twinkletoes|W> binarymutant: Haha! - That was easy... to update menu.lst - I just did update-grub
[18:03] <binarymutant> Twinkletoes|W, lol or that
[18:03] <themiddleman> heh

[18:03] <holafejem> hi all
[18:04] <devzzz> when i add virtual servers via webmin to apache2 they keep going to /var/www instead of where i set them to... anyone know why?
[18:04] <RenatoSilva> how to make xinetd read again the configuration files? so that when you change a server config, you don't need to restart the inetd
[18:06] <bobbyd> hi
[18:06] <THE_GFR|WORK> I'm running ubuntu and I have a monitor with USB hub and it keeps going into sleep mode apparently after about 10 seconds if nothing is plugged into the ports I have to do lsusb to wake it up any way to keep it from going into sleep?
[18:07] <bobbyd> can anyone tell me the correct way to install firefox 3.1 on intrepid alongside (or instead of) 3.0.1? I downloaded the linux binary version of 3.1 from the mozilla site, but when I launch it, it runs 3.0.1 :(
[18:07] <bobbyd> THE_GFR|WORK: yes, but I can't remember :)
[18:07] <THE_GFR|WORK> o.O
[18:07] <binarymutant> bobbyd, /usr/local/bin/firefox (maybe)
[18:07] <Haibane> hball
[18:08] <bobbyd> THE_GFR|WORK: the intel powertop thing tell you how to rturn it off :)
[18:08] <stepomaticc> devzzz: check  /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
[18:08] <THE_GFR|WORK> bobbyd: intel powertop?
[18:08] <Elda> What is it with people who keep using my name on here :(
[18:08] <bobbyd> binarymutant: I even tried uninstalling firefox, but I think I'd also need to remove xulrunner, and that would uninstall ubuntu-desktop! :)
[18:08] <Elda> Keep having to ghost an individual each time come in here :|
[18:09] <binarymutant> bobbyd, ubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage and is safe to remove
[18:09] <binarymutant> bobbyd, try running /usr/local/bin/firefox
[18:09] <jimcooncat> Elda, I was doing the same thing, found out I forgot to log out on my other machine
[18:09] <Elda> Okay, that aside how do I look up my system stats in Ubuntu?
[18:10] <Elda> There is no other machine with my login in it for this irc
[18:10] <binarymutant> Elda, what stats?
[18:10] <bobbyd> binary ok
[18:10] <Elda> processor, ram, etc
[18:10] <drhodes>  /proc is full of good stuff
[18:10] <Elda> ?
[18:10] <trippsss> has something changed with sane over the new releases? with gutsy sane autodetected my hp 3052 over the network and worked perfectly scanning from it. now I don't detect anything with intrepid though nothing has changed
[18:11] <jugger> hi.  with alsa, is it possible to output ALL sound as 44khz?
[18:11] <mrwes> Elda: look in the /proc directory
[18:11] <Elda> mrwes, and where is that?
[18:11] <mrwes> Elda: Open a terminal and type cat /proc/cpuinfo
[18:12] <binarymutant> jugger, I think sound quality is determined by the mp3/song
[18:12] <mrwes> !terminal | Elda
[18:12] <Elda> Thank  you :) and yes I know about the terminal
[18:12] <daftykins> cat /proc/meminfo for RAM

[18:18] <joanadarc> Hi. How do I exit X to install the NVIDIA driver?
[18:19] <flaco> anyone knows how to calibrate a touchpanel????
[18:19] <binarymutant> joanadarc, I think killall -9 X
[18:19] <joanadarc> binarydigit: thanks, I'll try
[18:19] <joanadarc> no process killed
[18:20] <joanadarc> the tutorial says I should edit inittab to start init 3, 2 or 1, install the driver then change it back to 5. But this file doesn't exist in Ubuntu
[18:20] <iws> hello all. Is there a way to make an installation of ubuntu to a directory (for use by diskless clients) WITHOUT doing a native install any copying?
[18:20] <Pr0x> Hello¡
[18:20] <Dreamglider> anyone here ever managed to dual boot of a usb flash disk  ?
[18:21] <binarymutant> joanadarc, init 3    try that
[18:21] <joanadarc> binarymutant: on Terminal?
[18:21] <joanadarc> I tried... Nothing happened, no output nothing
[18:21] <binarymutant> joanadarc, with a sudo in front of it, ya in a terminal

[18:22] <kebomix> hi,  i have program while setup my hotmail account due to this tutorial http://www.ubuntugeek.com/send-and-receive-your-hotmail-messages-through-evolution.html  and it show me this error "-ERR Unable to find folder inbox on remote server"
[18:22] <stepomaticc> joanadarc: init 1 single user without X
[18:23] <AnyaJ> i'm trying to set a permanent environment variable .  i
[18:23] <dayo> where do i find the source code of the commands, e.g. ls, ssh, rsync   and so on?
[18:23] <AnyaJ> sorry - i am in .bash_profile - can anyone help me set one up?
[18:23] <binarymutant> joanadarc, sudo telinit 3
[18:23] <AnyaJ> i have a runtime running thgat says i should set the environment variables COIN_FULL_INDIRECT_RENDERING = 1 and re-run the application
[18:23] <AnyaJ> but i don't know how to do that correctly
[18:23] <binarymutant> I always thought init 3 would work but I guess not :/
[18:24] <AnyaJ> i went to .bash_profile and i put in COIN_FULL_INDIRECT_RENDERING = 1 followed by export COIN_FULL_INDIRECT_RENDERING on a new line
[18:24] <AnyaJ> but that doesn't work.  can anyone help me to understand what i am doing wrong?
[18:25] <iws> noren: wouldn't I have to use windows to create an install with wubi? I'm using a Linux desktop, I don't even have a windows computer :)
[18:25] <binarymutant> AnyaJ, I think it should be in .bashrc
[18:26] <trippsss> does xsane no longer support network scanners?
[18:26] <joanadarc> hehe, I ran init 1 single user without X, it started back on gnome
[18:26] <binarymutant> joanadarc, I think you need to kill GDM first
[18:27] <binarymutant> joanadarc, why not use the drivers that are in the repo?
[18:27] <Pr0x> restart the gdm = /etc/init.d/gdm
[18:27] <kaeles> ok, I've tried using my ATI 9200 and ATI9500 and both have issues getting autodetected and working with manually setup xorg.confs, I know both of these "should" work out of the box, but every time I try to use the ati drivers, it falls backon the failsafe, I'm using mythbuntu 8.10, but the xorg shouldn't be different I would think.
[18:27] <AnyaJ> binarymutant, do i do exactly that?  COIN_FULL_INDIRECT_RENDERING = 1 followed by export COIN_FULL_INDIRECT_RENDERING on another line?
[18:27] <Pr0x>  /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[18:27] <juken> anyone using an eee 1002HA right now?
[18:27] <stepomaticc> joanadarc: telinit 3 is multiuser textmode telinit 1 is single user
[18:27] <noren> iws: is that u dont have any OS installed, are you looking for pendrive or flash drive install ??
[18:28] <AnyaJ> oooo that worked, binarymutant!!!!

[18:37] <stepomaticc> iws: i think apt-get use dpkg as backend
[18:37] <binarymutant> try a new server? the checksum means someone else edited it
[18:37] <babo> how can i get my system back up and running ?
[18:38] <kalle_> and the server worked very well few days ago when i had the ubuntu 8.04 but now i have 8.10 and all the problems
[18:38] <fosco__> !trash | babo
[18:38] <iws> stepomaticc: yeah, it does. But I think apt-get handles the downloading, etc, and dpkg only installs local .deb files
[18:38] <binarymutant> kalle_, it's not an OS problem
[18:38] <fosco__> babo, read what ubottu says and look for your lost files there

[18:58] <DenKain> This is how the Ubuntu versions work people, the first number is the release year and the second number is the release month. So 9.04 is released in the 4th month of 2009.
[18:58] <usser> oxeimo1, try if [ [[ "$1" == run ]] || [[ "$1" == "" ]] ] ; then
[18:59] <babo> is there anything i can do to restore gnome ?
[18:59] <binarymutant> babo, what do you mean?
[18:59] <juniecho> hey guys, how do i remove 'hibernation' entry from system shutdown dialog window?
[18:59] <sebastien> hello, is it possible to launch a programm on only one core ?
[18:59] <juniecho> babo//can you get to the terminal? if it is possible try reinstalling gnome :)
[18:59] <babo> binarymutant, gnome is screwed. when i open terminal, it's blanked out. when i try to type, boxes open
[18:59] <oxeimo1> usser: nope
[18:59] <oxeimo1> ANNvsSCAN_dim.bash: line 14: syntax error near unexpected token `]'

[19:00] <mrwes> babo, http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/
[19:00] <binarymutant> babo, can you type things in a text editor? without boxes opening?
[19:00] <stepomaticc> d_1nev1tab1e: let me know if you find out
[19:01] <juniecho> babo// sudo apt-get purge gnome-desktop (am i right about that package name?) and then sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop... it could work maybe.
[19:01] <erUSUL> sebastien: setting cpu affinity
[19:01] <mrwes> yah that'll work
[19:01] <Mudak> Ubuntu cones as hemorrhoids, and day and night allows me to rest!
[19:01] <sebastien> yes
[19:01] <usser> oxeimo1, if [[ "$1" == run ||  "$1" == "" ]] ; then
[19:01] <d_1nev1tab1e> stepomaticc:  the man pages just dont make sense at all to me :(
[19:02] <juniecho> and can someone help me with this... removing hibernation option from system shutdown menu?? :)
[19:02] <erUSUL> sebastien: taskset -c number -p PID
[19:02] <sebastien> super !!! thanks
[19:02] <Mudak> Each block should study Russian
[19:02] <binarymutant> juniecho, you might have to edit gnome's source code for that but not sure
[19:02] <Ronald_> is there anything better than top for reporting cpu/memory/io usage?
[19:02] <d_1nev1tab1e> does anyone know know how to constrain 'find' to files younger than 2 hours? using newerXY arg for example?
[19:02] <Pici> Ronald_: I prefer htop personally
[19:03] <erUSUL> Ronald_: htop
[19:03] <binarymutant> juniecho, could be somewhere in gconf-editor too
[19:03] <babo> binarymutant, my terminal is basically a blank box
[19:03] <Ronald_> Okay I
[19:03] <Ronald_> 'll try that.  Thanks
[19:03] <bakarat> i'm having some trouble getting SWT running on 64 bit ubuntu 8.10, error: no swt-gtk-3448 or swt-gtk in swt.library.path, java.library.path or the jar file
[19:03] <Mudak> And what ubuntu is different from the mosquito?
[19:04] <bazhang> !ot | Mudak
[19:04] <binarymutant> babo, but you can type in other applications without problems? also can you see a toolbar on gnome-terminal?
[19:05] <Xonnie316> hey guys !
[19:05] <juniecho> binarymutant, do i have to manually save settings when i mess around with this ... gconf-editor?
[19:05] <oxeimo1> usser: thanks that works :-D
[19:05] <binarymutant> juniecho, I dont think so
[19:05] <usser> oxeimo1, no problem
[19:05] <mrwes> juniecho, un $ sudo gconf-editor
[19:05] <mrwes> go to apps -> gnome-power-manager -> can_hibernate uncheck that and your hibernate button is gone.
[19:06] <babo> binarymutant, yes
[19:06] <juniecho> binarymutant, it worked! thanks! :) unchecked can_hibernate and it is gone forever from system shutdown dialog!
[19:06] <stepomaticc> d_1nev1tab1e: i would look at cmin
[19:06] <stepomaticc> d_1nev1tab1e: i would look at cmin maybe
[19:06] <binarymutant> babo, edit your profile colors that might help you see the text
[19:07] <d_1nev1tab1e> stepomaticc: thx, ill try that
[19:07] <juniecho> btw somebody using mint menu?
[19:09] <stepomaticc> u
[19:10] <juniecho> how can i assign <Super> key to mint menu?
[19:10] <binarymutant> juniecho, does mint use gnome?
[19:11] <ljvs> hello.  i have an amdX2 3800+ (kinda ancient by now i assume) on an a8n-sli (not deluxe s939). my question is should i opt for an am3 or am2, quad or 3-core, or just go for an intel chip. my goals are fast we browsing, the occasional nexuiz, and real-time audio processing. gimp also. comments suggestions welcome :)
[19:11] <juniecho> binarymutant, yes it is gnome
[19:11] <binarymutant> juniecho, System->preferences->keyboard shortcuts
[19:11] <UnderTaker> How do i set ACLs?
[19:11] <ljvs> *web browsing
[19:11] <blip> amd 3 core would be fine i would think
[19:11] <blip> quad care intels are gaming and video
[19:11] <ljvs> ah ok
[19:12] <UnderTaker> !acl
[19:12] <juniecho> binarymint, yes but... there is no setting for mint menu, there is just gnome menu... i can't figure out command for mint menu
[19:12] <ljvs> yea i dont run win* at all. and dont plan to. my other concern is just whether an intel chip or amd chip  run better with linux. i.e. linux runs best on *?
[19:13] <blip> both really
[19:13] <erUSUL> UnderTaker: use eiciel is graphical

[19:13] <d_1nev1tab1e> hey ive tried  'find . -cmin +120 -exec cp -vrf {} ~/bkmtlb/. \;' to clear my mess in /usr/share which ive created by installing matlab into it instead of /usr/share/matlab, however it did not copy the files ive added in the last to hours
[19:13] <ljvs> cool
[19:13] <d_1nev1tab1e> instead it copied them all
[19:13] <blip> amd is cheaper, thats the main advantage
[19:13] <blip> they used to be faster too
[19:13] <jimcooncat> UnderTaker: first hit on google for "ubuntu acl" looks good, the first portion of it anyway: http://tlug.dnho.net/?q=node/171
[19:13] <ljvs> what is cheaper
[19:13] <ljvs> amd?
[19:13] <murlidhar> i am not able to install linux either from the alternate cd or from the live cd :(
[19:13] <blip> rgr
[19:14] <juniecho> binarymutant, yes i see it... what next?
[19:14] <murlidhar> anyone help me ?
[19:14] <UnderTaker> LjL, AMD
[19:14] <UnderTaker> no ljvs i mean
[19:14] <murlidhar> it kinda gives me some emask errors :(
[19:14] <binarymutant> juniecho, click on show panel menu under the Desktop section

[19:15] <ascott> rt #ubuntu
[19:15] <ascott> whoops
[19:15] <HenrikV> is eth0 & eth1 purely logical names or is the number linked to the actual hardware, in other worse can I change my current networking/interfaces from eth1 to eth0 ?
[19:15] <blip> ubottu ftw
[19:15] <ljvs> well thank you. i'll browse newegg now :)
[19:15] <murlidhar> status :{DRDY}
[19:15] <UnderTaker> ftw means for the win
[19:15] <murlidhar> errors i see
[19:15] <juniecho> binarymutant, that brings up the 'gnome menu', not 'mint menu'... :)
[19:15] <binarymutant> juniecho, I dont know what mint menu is
[19:16] <binarymutant> juniecho, what's the difference?
[19:16] <juniecho> mint menu is an alternative menu, it is more like some... windows vista start menu.
[19:16] <murlidhar> am not able to log on to my ubuntu :( can anyone help ?
[19:16] <juniecho> it has builtin search function and is kinda more organized
[19:16] <usser> d_1nev1tab1e, +120 is greater than 120 minutes
[19:16] <blip> gnomenu resembles the vista menu too
[19:16] <usser> d_1nev1tab1e, -120 is for less
[19:16] <jimcooncat> HenrikV: There is a place for ethX mappings, I don't remember where. Maybe /etc/interfaces?
[19:17] <binarymutant> juniecho, the mint forums might help better, as I know nothing about this mint menu
[19:17] <juniecho> yeah... fyi mint menu looks like this http://linuxmint.com/pictures/screenshots/bianca-2.2/08.png
[19:17] <blip> jimcooncat, what do u need to know exactly
[19:17] <Time`s_Witness> is there any way to check out what is wine's command when we double click an windows application? I cant set it to work just by "wine C:\\path\\to\\app", i get some error, probably need an extra argument
[19:17] <usser> jimcooncat, /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net
[19:17] <d_1nev1tab1e> usser:  I am trying that now, it still seems to copy everything now tho
[19:17] <juniecho> kinda sweet ;)
[19:17] <nic1> hello guys
[19:18] <jimcooncat> usser: that's it!
[19:18] <nic1> i got a problem with mozilla
[19:18] <erUSUL> HenrikV: see /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file it should be self explanatory
[19:18] <murlidhar> am not able to log on to my ubuntu :( can anyone help ?
[19:18] <HenrikV> jimcooncat, /etc/network/interfaces it's where I'm using eth1, question is if I can change that to eth0
[19:18] <binarymutant> juniecho, looks like the gnome menus bunched into 1
[19:18] <blip> murlidhar, whats the problem
[19:18] <murlidhar> i see some ata2.00 except emask errors
[19:18] <nic1> i try to do strart it and after few seconds it kill itself
[19:18] <murlidhar> blip, ^
[19:18] <usser> d_1nev1tab1e, maybe try mmin
[19:18] <juniecho> binarymutant yeah :) that's the idea i think... but looks sweeter
[19:19] <blip> murlidhar, how far do u get
[19:19] <d_1nev1tab1e> usser:  still doing everything :(
[19:19] <blip> murlidhar, install right?
[19:19] <murlidhar> blip, only upto grub
[19:19] <jimcooncat> HenrikV: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net like others said. You may have to make it yourself though
[19:19] <murlidhar> blip, yes but i can't even log on from livecd
[19:19] <Droopsta915> what is the name of the program that puts my applications on the desktop, Looks like Mac icons/
[19:19] <murlidhar> blip, am using windows now :(
[19:19] <usser> d_1nev1tab1e, thats weird, i just tested it here, -120 outputs the correct files
[19:20] <blip> murlidhar, ew you def need help
[19:20] <blip> murlidhar, hold on?
[19:20] <murlidhar> blip, yep
[19:20] <d_1nev1tab1e> usser: 'find . -mmin -120 -exec cp -vrf {} ~/bkmtlb/. \;' ?
[19:21] <jimcooncat> !pastebin
[19:21] <floatboat> how do i see which commands cups recieves from acroread, foxxit, and other pdf readers
[19:23] <jimcooncat> HenrikV: see http://paste.ubuntu.com/134357/ -- I got three cards in that machine
[19:23] <bigrigger> floatboat: read  /var/log/cups/access_log and others, ls -l /var/log/cups/
[19:23] <HenrikV> thanks
[19:23] <mrwes> floatboat, or do a tail -f /var/log/cups/access_log
[19:24] <blip> murlidhar, u there?
[19:24] <d_1nev1tab1e> i guess i am going to have to live with this mess until jaunty gets released :(
[19:24] <murlidhar> blip, yes
[19:24] <blip> murlidhar, what speed did u burn that disc at
[19:24] <murlidhar> blip, 1x i checked the integrity
[19:24] <murlidhar> blip, i tried 4 distro live cds :(
[19:24] <usser> d_1nev1tab1e, thats probably because you're doing it recursively
[19:24] <undertake> HAHA?DCC SEND "ff???f?" 0 0 0
[19:24] <blip> murlidhar, did u do an upgrade?
[19:25] <usser> d_1nev1tab1e, it copies everything too if i add -r to cp
[19:25] <LjL> undertake: you fail.
[19:25] <styol> im truing to sandbox an ubuntu install to only run 1 application... im trying to use sessions, does any have any recommendation for sessions or any other approach to make it so a user can only use 1 program
[19:25] <murlidhar> blip, no not yet
[19:25] <mrwes> hrmmm
[19:25] <murlidhar> blip, using hardy
[19:25] <blip> murlidhar, fresh install?
[19:25] <Xonnie316> hi there ubuntu people
[19:25] <Xonnie316> i've got a problem
[19:25] <d_1nev1tab1e> usser:  hmm, any ideas how to take directories with me without using -r for cp?
[19:26] <Xonnie316> can anyone help me out
[19:26] <binarymutant> !ask | Xonnie316
[19:26] <usser> d_1nev1tab1e, i'm reluctant to suggest mv instead :) to include directories, try a dry run of find . -mmin -120 see if it prints the files and dirs that you need
[19:26] <murlidhar> blip, well yes i did it today and now it doesn't boot even
[19:26] <murlidhar> blip, tried many live cds but couldn't get them boot too :(
[19:26] <blip> murlidhar, its usually a burn problem...but u dont have that, and there is a bug with that kernel it seems for certain hd
[19:26] <mrwes> murlidhar, what program are you burning with?
[19:27] <blip> murlidhar, do u have a samsung hard drive by any chance?
[19:27] <rjbs> I feel like an idiot for being unable to get this to work:  I have installed Ubuntu 8.10 on an external USB hard drive.  This is a large drive and I did a standard install, not a "usb bootable."
[19:27] <d_1nev1tab1e> usser:  this is actually more about removing the files, i just used copy for testing. my /usr/share got messed up when i accidently installed matlab to it
[19:27] <murlidhar> mrwes, i used imgburn from windows
[19:27] <rjbs> When I reboot, I get grub error 21.
[19:27] <rjbs> I don't see any obvious-to-me errors in the menu.lst
[19:27] <binarymutant> rjbs, can you pastebin it?
[19:27] <murlidhar> blip, i think one of them is a samsung
[19:27] <rjbs> binarymutant: My menu.lst?
[19:28] <binarymutant> rjbs, ya
[19:28] <mrwes> murlidhar, maybe try active iso burner http://www.ntfs.com/iso-burning.htm
[19:28] <paul68> Hi how can I find out what driver I am using for my video card  this is the card I am using ATI Technologies Inc RV670PRO [Radeon HD 3850]
[19:28] <rjbs> binarymutant: Sure, it'll take a minute or two.  I need to reboot from a Live CD or something so I can see it.
[19:28] <binarymutant> paul68, lsmod will show it
[19:28] <murlidhar> mrwes, i don't thnk it will work but will try it though
[19:28] <blip> murlidhar, one person switched cables for the hard drive and it worked afterwards...another just wiped out the drive and did a fresh install of 8.10
[19:28] <usser> d_1nev1tab1e, mv should do what you need, its just that you gotta be careful not to move anything that you dont want moved
[19:29] <rjbs> While I wait for this to boot...
[19:29] <Xonnie316> I wish to install Flash for Ubuntu
[19:29] <murlidhar> blip, i can't afford to wipe the drive
[19:29] <brandonc503> hey all..
[19:29] <rjbs> I had no problem creating a bootable SD.  I don't mind booting from that and keeping things like /home on the ext USB.
[19:29] <brandonc503> is there a dreamweaver for linux?
[19:29] <d_1nev1tab1e> usser: how do i start the dry run then?
[19:29] <evilGUI> Hello, when I mount or dismount my iPod nano 1st gen I get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/134361/
[19:29] <zenlunatic> rjbs, you heard of runlevel 1?
[19:29] <blip> murlidhar, are u dual booting  on that machine
[19:29] <rjbs> I don't know what I need to know to do that easily, for example by having the external drive's volumes mount in a consistent place.
[19:30] <rjbs> zenlunatic: Yes.
[19:30] <murlidhar> blip, yes
[19:30] <evilGUI> I haven't had any issues until yesterday.
[19:30] <usser> d_1nev1tab1e, find . -mmin -120
[19:30] <blip> murlidhar, d/l ext2 addon for windows and save all ur files
[19:30] <usser> d_1nev1tab1e, its going to print out the filenames
[19:30] <Xonnie316> How can I install Adobe Flash for my Ubuntu OS ? :D
[19:30] <d_1nev1tab1e> usser: oops. ok that was kinda obvious, hehe
[19:30] <usser> d_1nev1tab1e, backup /usr/share before you actually run find with mv
[19:31] <blip> murlidhar, or try a diff cable
[19:31] <murlidhar> blip, ok but i am not able to boot livecd so how will i be able to do a fresh installation
[19:31] <ewj1976>  Xonnie316 sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
[19:31] <DaemonDEB> Xonnie316: 64-bit?
[19:31] <murlidhar> blip, diff cable maybe
[19:31] <evilGUI> I have booted from a live CD and the iPod mounts fine.
[19:31] <blip> murlidhar, sata cables go bad easier than ide
[19:31] <Xonnie316> yes 64 bit
[19:31] <murlidhar> blip, i got ide
[19:31] <ewj1976> Xonnie316, oh, well I'm not sure then
[19:31] <paul68> binarymutant: this is my output http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/134364/
[19:31] <DaemonDEB> nah, if you use 64-bit you should not use the flash package in the repo
[19:31] <DaemonDEB> it sucks
[19:31] <blip> murlidhar, are u using the burner drive to install?
[19:32] <Xonnie316> I used all 4 downloads from : http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

[19:33] <binarymutant> paul68, maybe just looking in /etc/X11/xorg.conf would be easier, I'm not seeing it in your lsmod
[19:33] <murlidhar> blip, nope its a assembled desktop
[19:33] <murlidhar> an*
[19:33] <bassliner> nic1: did you try starting it in a terminal?
[19:33] <DaemonDEB> just do that, and restart Firefox
[19:33] <blip> murlidhar, still let it cool down...i'll be on tomorrow
[19:33] <bassliner> nic1: to watch the output it produces when crashing?
[19:33] <bassliner> i'd just do that

[19:34] <ewj1976> Xonnie316, you run it all on one line in the terminal
[19:34] <DaemonDEB> it'll get the tarball, unpack it, and move it to your Firefox plugin folder
[19:34] <d_1nev1tab1e> usser:  ok im backing it up now, gonna take a while
[19:34] <nic1> i am doing the updates

[19:34] <Xonnie316> where do I paste it ?
[19:34] <ewj1976> Xonnie316, you may need to type it out or paste it in pieces so it does line break

[19:34] <ewj1976> Xonnie316, copy it, open gnome-terminal or a terminal, then paste it there
[19:34] <DaemonDEB> then just paste it there
[19:34] <paul68> binarymutant: correct
[19:35] <babo> i've also added some settings to xorg.conf but that isn't working either ...

[19:39] <Ndshacker> Hello all, I am trying to get a program working under Virtualisation, but I cannot find Virtualbox in my menus
[19:39] <rjbs> binarymutant: Clearly I'm more communicative than I know!
[19:40] <Ndshacker> I had OSE, got rid of it, installed the full edition, but now I cant find it
[19:40] <paul68> binarymutant: any thoughts?
[19:40] <bigrigger> babo: in a terminal try, gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall  gnome-panel
[19:41] <binarymutant> paul68, not sure about grepping all of that
[19:41] <Ndshacker> I would hate to have to dualboot this thing for one programs >.<
[19:41] <paul68> binarymutant: if I could at least grep the temperature it would be nice
[19:42] <jelly-bean> how can i speed up the mousewheel scroll in ubuntu?

[19:43] <binarymutant> rjbs, no clue hopefully someone else knows a fix
[19:43] <paul68> binarymutant: no such file or direcory
[19:43] <rjbs> binarymutant: Thanks, anyway.
[19:43] <binarymutant> rjbs, all I'm seeing on the web is people saying "reinstall"
[19:43] <rjbs> binarymutant:  My related question was: If I make a bootable SD card (which I've done) is it easy to make sure that some particular external drive is always mounted at the same point?
[19:43] <jelly-bean> whats the best samba share config tool for ubuntu gnome
[19:43] <rjbs> binarymutant: Well, reinstalling a fresh install can't hurt.
[19:44] <rjbs> So I'll try that too.
[19:44] <Ndshacker> Hello, does anyone know of a good way to run Windows in Ubuntu

[19:44] <paul68> binarymutant: directory exists but is empty
[19:44] <DizzyDoo_> Hi beginner question, with Ubuntu Server, I want to download a 4 gig file overnight, how can I just (through SSH) start a download, end my putty session, and leave it to happily do it's thing
[19:44] <Ndshacker> Daemon: I tried that, no Usb support
[19:45] <theshadow> how can I add a HAL filter to disable the Macintosh mouse button emulation
[19:45] <binarymutant> rjbs, you can use fstab and mtab to make sure things are mounted in the place you want them to be mounted at
[19:45] <DaemonDEB> it has pass through USB support
[19:45] <DaemonDEB> look in the options, it's off by default
[19:45] <Ndshacker> ehh\?
[19:45] <Ndshacker> oh
[19:45] <d_1nev1tab1e> usser: the time contrain doesnt seem to go very well, is there a way to specify max and min time at the same time?
[19:46] <floatboat> can someone help me get CUPS to print duplex?
[19:46] <binarymutant> paul68, not sure, you need sensors in there first off to get the temp or else it's just going to be a bad guess
[19:46] <bigrigger> DizzyDoo_: invoke screen, issue the  command and ctrl+a+d to detach the screen, logofff the screen will continue the process
[19:46] <paul68> binarymutant: have lm sensors installed
[19:46] <rhzr> how can i enable a usb wireless device in ubuntu server edition?
[19:46] <Ndshacker> Ndiswrapper
[19:46] <binarymutant> paul68, but there are programs that can monitor temps like gkrellm
[19:47] <DizzyDoo_> bigrigger, cheers, I'm totally new at admining this, would you be so kind as to give me the commands?
[19:48] <mikes80> exit
[19:48] <paul68> binarymutant: I understand I was asking this since I want to use it in a conky and can't find a way to visualise it :-(
[19:48] <bigrigger> DizzyDoo_: ssh to the machine, type 'screen' start to process, detach and logoff, to come back to it, login via ssh, type screen -r and you will be back to what you left running
[19:49] <BCampbell> just rebooted and lost the panels?  how to get them back please?  ubuntu 8.10 amd 64
[19:49] <rjbs> binarymutant: Yup, I've found e2label, which looks like it will do the trick.  Thanks.

[19:49] <dccuser> I need to decompress multiple tarballs in multiple subdirectories, is there a program or a script that can do this if I point it to a directory?
[19:49] <binarymutant> paul68, try ${execi 90 sensors | grep "CPU Temp:" | cut -c12-16 ;}C in your conky conf
[19:49] <babo1> guys, i've messed up my system. i thought i'd just messed up babo gnome. but i've added a new user and babo1 gnome is screwed as well
[19:50] <Ndshacker> reinstall

[19:50] <babo1> i don't want to lose any existing system info
[19:50] <babo1> Ndshacker, ^^
[19:51] <paul68> binarymutant: but that would give me the temperature of my normal cpu but not the temp of my video card cpu right
[19:51] <ExAstris> hi all. I'd like to write a script which allows me to open another tab in Terminal, execute commands in that tab, then open a new tab, execute commands in that tab, etc.
[19:51] <ExAstris> Is that possible?
[19:51] <Ndshacker> babo - Boot into live cd
[19:51] <babo1> Ndshacker, right
[19:51] <Ndshacker> SAlvage all you can by burning disks + copying to other HDD
[19:52] <Ndshacker> and then reinstall
[19:52] <Ndshacker> Itll be easier than fixing it >.<
[19:52] <gregbrady> I am trying to install 8.10 from a usb drive, and it gets to the point of partitioning.  The window just sits there not showing any partion information
[19:52] <ExAstris> Additionally, I've created several SSH bookmarks. Will Ubuntu open them automatically next boot?
[19:53] <Qtpaxa> It is possible to change guest account start up apps???
[19:53] <Ndshacker> should be
[19:53] <maginot> hey, how can I build a custom kernel using the option that my default installation have choose ?
[19:54] <ExAstris> To put it all in one block of text, I'd like to write a script which opens multiple terminal tabs and runs commands in them. I'd also like to know if Ubuntu will connect to my SSH bookmarks on bootup.
[19:54] <maginot> I just need to make my box accept more then 4gb of memory
[19:54] <Ndshacker>  wow
[19:55] <Ndshacker> why do you need more than 4 gb?
[19:55] <Ndshacker> Give the rest to the poor >.< like me
[19:55] <radeonxt> @maginot
[19:55] <maginot> Ndshacker, im running an ltsp server actualy I have 32gb of memory
[19:55] <neeteex> Hello there, can someone tell me how I can use gftp to edit distant files ? It does open them locally, but do not send them back to distant server when changed and saved :(
[19:55] <radeonxt> take a look at this: ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=311158
[19:55] <ExAstris> Can anyone hlep me?

[19:58] <paul68> binarymutant: you still there?
[19:58] <adelie43> weird problem. Working on a friends computer and lost sound in only firefox (pulseaudio, ubuntu 8.04 LTS)
[19:59] <jelly-bean> is there a way to set ESC key to close current window?
[19:59] <ExAstris> Ndshacker: I have altready asked.
[19:59] <DizzyDoo_> bigrigger: Okay, so I started my download in screen mode... but when I ctrl+alt+d to detach the screen, it doesn't seem to detach. I'm not sure what it does
[19:59] <ExAstris> Ndshacker: Apparantly, you did not see it. I will repost if you like.
[19:59] <bigrigger> DizzyDoo_: ctrl-a-d  no alt key
[19:59] <mlopez> jelly-bean, shortcut keys
[20:00] <DizzyDoo_> bigrigger: I'm sorry, yes, ctrl+alt+d seems to have cloned the download... how can I undo my stupidity?
[20:00] <erUSUL> bigrigger: DizzyDoo_ is Crtl-a crtl-d
[20:00] <bigrigger> DizzyDoo_: not sure, stop them, do over
[20:01] <erUSUL> bigrigger: DizzyDoo_ no sorry you were right...
[20:02] <ryanakca> Is there a way to control how many ressources a certain process takes up other than with nice? AKA, if I wanted to limit CPU usage to say, 10%?
[20:03] <bigrigger> DizzyDoo_: you can use multiple screens, use screen -list to see screens which are detached or attached. screen -x is multi-user mode, can be useful at times.
[20:03] <ExAstris> Again... I'd like to write a script which opens multiple terminal tabs and runs commands in them - is that possible? I'd also like to know if Ubuntu will connect to my SSH bookmarks on bootup.
[20:04] <bigrigger> ExAstris: as to bookmarked ssh, no they won't connect at/on boot.
[20:05] <ExAstris> okay. I have to open them manually? That's alright, was just curious.
[20:05] <ExAstris> I
[20:05] <maxb> ExAstris: You need to clarify which terminal program you're using for people to be able to help
[20:05] <ExAstris> GNOME Terminal 2.24.1.1. I hope that's what you mean
[20:05] <ExAstris> It's bash underlying, I think..?
[20:05] <bigrigger> ExAstris: yes, the bookmarks work on demand.
[20:05] <ExAstris> okay. I've been working to get all the systems on my network ssh-ready
[20:06] <maxb> Yes, gnome-terminal is what I wanted to know
[20:06] <ExAstris> so I can preform updates/etc from my main box.
[20:06] <DizzyDoo_> bigrigger, thank you, this is great, working like a dream, and I learnt something new about Ubuntu :)
[20:06] <ExAstris> x11forwarding, it turns out, is highly useful ;)
[20:06] <bigrigger> DizzyDoo_: you're very welcome.
[20:07] <radeonxt> do you have any idea where is GEM, DRI2 and KMS coming to opensource radeon driver?
[20:07] <arkanabar> Is there some handy tool to purge swap &/or memory usage?

[20:09] <Tiger_t> mchelen: They like to piss on anyone, trolls you know
[20:09] <ikonia> Tiger_t: what's the issue ?
[20:10] <ExAstris> so, maxb, is it possible?
[20:10] <Tiger_t> They called us slow and such. No matter if we had broken backs. Lets prey! :=)
[20:10] <ikonia> Tiger_t: what are you talking about
[20:10] <ikonia> Tiger_t: this channel is for ubuntu support discussion
[20:11] <Tiger_t> ikonia: Who are you ?
[20:11] <Tiger_t> I have never seen you before
[20:11] <ikonia> Tiger_t: what does it matter, can you please keep the random comments down and just dicuss ubuntu support issues
[20:11] <Tiger_t> I guess
[20:12] <ikonia> thank you
[20:12] <Tiger_t> So, what do you do about broke back mountain ?
[20:12] <ExAstris> Fun
[20:12] <tehhax> I want to make it so that an old laptop never blanks the screen (no power management, no screen saver)
[20:12] <maxb> ExAstris: You can launch a new window with several tabs using a list of --tab-with-profile=Default --command "something" options. I don't know of any way to script adding a new tab to an existing window. Also, the tabs vanish as soon as their command completes.
[20:13] <tehhax> its running fluxbox, no screensaver is running, but it still blanks, how can I find out what process is doing this?
[20:13] <ExAstris> hmm
[20:13] <ExAstris> well, it's SSH
[20:13] <ExAstris> what's the name of the terminal executable again?
[20:14] <maxb> gnome-terminal. What do you want to do with the tabs - maybe there's another way to accomplish it?
[20:14] <Zenitur> One of the operators of Russian #ubuntu-ru channel makes more that the operator must do. He ban people that he does not like. They are follow the rules.
[20:14] <doleyb> tehhax: run xset q, and check if there's a blank timer
[20:14] <ikonia> Zenitur: if you have an issue with a loco channel please take it to #ubuntu-irc
[20:15] <ExAstris> kk. So, if I were to run gnome-terminal --tab-with-profile=Default --command "ssh [user]:[pass]@[server]" --command "ssh 2user:2pass@2server", etc
[20:15] <ExAstris> would that keep the tabs open?
[20:15] <saschul11> Can anyone tell me if i create a vhost file (apach2) and visit the URL/ServerAddress defined in the vhost file the propper site shows up but when I then also enable the default vhost file, the default vhost file always overrides my custom one?

[20:16] <babo1> where are the mysql and postgres databases stored ?
[20:16] <ikonia> ExAstris: may I suggest a script that does xterm -c ssh host1; xterm -c host2;
[20:16] <ikonia> babo1: look in my.cnf to see where the mysql data dir is
[20:16] <MindVirus> I want to lock my screen when my monitor sleeps. How do I do this?

[20:16] <ikonia> cyris||: no
[20:16] <ExAstris> ikonia: Okay. What does -c do exactly?

[20:16] <cyris||> ikonia: ok
[20:17] <ikonia> ExAstris: they will open concurrently
[20:17] <MindVirus> Any suggestions?
[20:17] <ExAstris> ikonia: okay... but it's not possible to do it in tabs to make it less cluttered?
[20:17] <tehhax> doleyb: ah, got it, prefer blanking: yes
[20:17] <ExAstris> ikonia: additionally, can I set the title of a window or tab from within a script?
[20:17] <ikonia> ExAstris: look at gnome-terminals command options
[20:17] <ikonia> ExAstris: I don't know if it's possible to use tabs
[20:17] <ExAstris> I shall...
[20:17] <ExAstris> yea, I hope iti s. That'd be quite helpful for me.

[20:19] <ExAstris> Well, I will give it a try later. Thanks for your help, ikonia/maxb.
[20:19] <babis85> hello, is there any specialized channel for networking or should i ask here?
[20:19] <MindVirus> doleyb, bigrigger: sorry, explained wrong.
[20:19] <ikonia> Zenitur: most modern apps/desktop apps are not targeted at 400mhz cpus

[20:19] <ikonia> narsil: that just looks like a diff error, I don't know what maple is
[20:19] <MindVirus> Automatically.
[20:20] <Zenitur> ikonia, one of operarors of russian Ubuntu channel makes more that allowed in rules. But I don't know english well... He ban peoples that he doesn't like, he close his eyes on bad words that not allowed in rules
[20:20] <ikonia> Zenitur: explain that in #ubuntu-irc
[20:20] <zer> MindVirus: im not sure if proc has any information about your screen, could be
[20:20] <ZeZu> how can i allow a user to read/write from items in /dev ?
[20:20] <ZeZu> add to wheel or smth ?
[20:20] <zer> i dont think screens send that kind of information though
[20:20] <MindVirus> zer, I'd like to lock screen when the screen sleeps, then.
[20:20] <jelly-bean> i am looking for a linux app that will display a countdown timer on the screen and pop up alerts when hitting 0. A linux equivalent something like TimeLeft.
[20:20] <usser> ZeZu, add him to the group that owns the item in /dev
[20:20] <jelly-bean> any ideas?
[20:20] <ikonia> Zenitur: /dev files are normally fine to be read, but they are device files so it's rare a user will interact with them directly

I have tried it via ssh and it hangs for a while then kicks out the error of  "Host is down" and doing it via the server's screen it seems like it does it but then on further looking at it it is still set to on.  I have also tried restarting /etc/init.d/networking with no success.  I have to reboot the server in order to get acces via ssh again

[20:37] <afreq> maybe it's something to do with the soundbank
[20:38] <cipherZen> NDShacker: VMWare provides binary installers that you can just run and it willl do the setup for you

[20:54] <mwh> I can mount the drive manually, no problem there, but I don't automatically get an icon on the desktop, when poping the drive in
[20:54] <pw-toxic_> SpaceBass, do you know my card?

[20:58] <arp13> mwh, hmm it had to be, if you did not touch it. but really, no ides then, why you don't have it at your desktop. ok, it's not at desktop, but you still can find it with nautilus?

[20:58] <mwh> arp13, an entry is made in 'places' .. but when I click on it .. nothing happens
[20:59] <arp13> mwh, hmm may be it's not mounted at all? bad filesystem (or corrupted) ?
[20:59] <mwh> arp13, It is not mounted at all
[20:59] <mwh> arp13, but I can mount it manually
[20:59] <mwh> arp13, without problem
[21:00] <arp13> mwh, hmmm sounds like a prolbem with HAL
[21:00] <SpaceBass> pw-toxic_, usually when you run mythtv-setup it will create the group for you
[21:00] <arp13> mwh, is DVD automounted?
[21:00] <mwh> arp13, okay .. how can I test that?
[21:00] <mwh> arp13, let me chck
[21:00] <arp13> mwh, try inserting a cd

[21:02] <whitefeather010> would appreciate some help with my canon mx300 scanner/printer,   i can't seem to get xsane to work, but it has in the past. "sane-find-scanner" finds it but "scanimage" doesn't.  any ideas???
[21:02] <arp13> mwh, hmm reeaaly strange. do you have other flash drive to test?
[21:02] <guntbert> SpaceBass: are you sure your discussion with pw-toxic is on-topic here?
[21:02] <mwh> yes, I have a USB harddrive
[21:02] <mwh> it does not work either
[21:02] <arp13> mwh, or, let's say, paste dmesg command to somewhere (like pastebin.com) after you put/take off flash
[21:02] <SpaceBass> guntbert, as much as any other around here, thanks
[21:02] <arp13> mwh, last lines, of course
[21:03] <arp13> just insert -> console -> dmesg, pull off -> dmesg

[21:05] <fearful> Akkernight, no problem :p
[21:05] <guntbert> SpaceBass: no offense intended :)
[21:06] <mwh> arp13, for the usb-stick it says can't mount it
[21:06] <SpaceBass> guntbert, sorry, in retrospect my response was rather snappy...not my intention :D
[21:06] <mwh> arp13, the usb-harddrive doesn't even show up

[21:06] <HDready> guys i need a quick help...i started streamripper and now it start ripping but with no tag...it's an icecast sream what do i have to do?
[21:07] <guntbert> SpaceBass: no offense taken, I think you were right :)
[21:07] <arp13> mwh, you should somehow take error output "why it can't mount it". let's say, start nautilus from console, and see output ?
[21:07] <SpaceBass> guntbert, lets hug it out :D
[21:07] <styol> Alt + F4 is the proper shortcut to close a window/application correct?

[21:09] <styol> is there anyway to edit a Session without logging into the gui?
[21:09] <mwh> arp13, fixed it .. now it works
[21:09] <arp13> mwh, fine then =)
[21:09] <mwh> arp13, sorry to have bothered you ... many thanks for your help and time
[21:10] <guntbert> styol: and all other key combinations "work"?

[21:10] <R0b0t1> How can I get WINE to a newer version? I see no way to tell apt-get or syntaptic to accept other things.
[21:10] <skybound> anyone knows which setting makes ubuntu auto-run dos/win32 executable in wine when I do something like "./a.exe" in a console? It is strangely cool, however I'd rather it wouldn't do that.
[21:11] <styol> guntbert, no, i believe that twm-kiosk started working after i previously thought it wasnt... its either that, or the fact that i disable Window Manager from the session and had an app set to auto-start ;)
[21:11] <gs94> does anyone know how to seed git repositories with kernel tarballs ?
[21:11] <fosco_> R0b0t1: apt-get will install the last available version package
[21:11] <R0b0t1> *stable* available, fosco_, IIRC.
[21:11] <adfadfqwef2>  
[21:12] <R0b0t1> Up, found the link
[21:12] <styol> guntbert looking back it seems as though im just going to have to re-install and be smart this time and setup another user/session that i can customize without locking myself out with the main user
[21:12] <bbmusicb1> I need help is there any free programs which allow me to run windows games?
[21:13] <Akkernight> bbmusicb1, try Wine
[21:13] <guntbert> styol: I don't think you will have to reinstall - you can repair most things from the console
[21:13] <styol> guntbert problem is im not able to get to the console.. unless theres an out of the gnome desktop approach i can use, which there should be yah?
[21:14] <bbmusicb1> Akkernight, I PM you
[21:15] <guntbert> styol: at login screen press ctrl+alt+F1, you get a console login
[21:15] <styol> thanks guntbert
[21:15] <styol> do you know how i can edit the session / auto-start stuff via console?
[21:15] <styol> just which file rather
[21:15] <ZeZu> whats the package for mkfs.msdos ?
[21:15] <fosco_> styol: ~/.config/autostart/
[21:15] <styol> thank you fosco_
[21:15] <shaya> anyone know how to sync evolution w/ google calendar?
[21:15] <ZeZu> dosfstools ?
[21:16] <guntbert> styol: I would create another user, add that user to the admin group, and then continue playing with the session
[21:16] <fosco_> ZeZu: yes
[21:16] <shaya> when I createa new calendar it gives me an option to add a google one, but don't know what to add
[21:16] <regtech> yoyoyo
[21:16] <regtech> guys, vnc, why doesnt shift work?
[21:16] <ZeZu> fosco_: thx
[21:16] <styol> will do guntbert... why is adding it to the admin group important, just out of curiousity
[21:17] <fosco_> styol: if the user is not admin can not be able to do sudo commands
[21:17] <guntbert> styol: all users in the admin group are by default allowed to sudo
[21:17] <styol> ahhh... which will be needed for sure... gotcha
[21:18] <guntbert> styol: so by that you create another "main user"
[21:18] <regtech> guys, vnc, why doesnt shift work?
[21:18] <styol> guntbert, excellent.. im having trouble bringing up the console let me keep trying
[21:19] <guntbert> regtech: please be more specific
[21:19] <guntbert> styol: ara you on a notebook?
[21:19] <guntbert> *are
[21:19] <regtech> ok, when i hold down shift, i cannot select multiple files in X
[21:19] <styol> nah actually even worst, using it via VMware (on a pc)
[21:19] <regtech> it does not seem to work
[21:20] <regtech> but if i hold down the shift key on the server and then use the mouse on the client, it works
[21:20] <regtech> it is a bug, i guess, its therea better way of remotely controlling a desktop?
[21:20] <styol> guntbert im trying to figure out a somewhat sandbox / kiosk solution to start a custom adobe air application im using for basically order monitoring, turning a $250 dell mini laptop that comes with ubuntu, into a restaurant order monitoring thing

[21:21] <stduseren> I have been looking for an applicaiton that can work as an IP KVM between my ubuntu and windows computer. has anyone used such thing?
[21:21] <heth> aiuto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[21:21] <SpaceBass> stduseren, synergy
[21:21] <heth> !addon
[21:21] <heth> !list
[21:22] <stduseren> SpaceBass:  would it work if i am on the xp machine and ubuntu as the client?
[21:22] <styol> SpaceBass stduseren im using synergy right now as well.. it rocks so hard
[21:22] <guntbert> styol: the reason for my question was another one: I've experienced problems with that key combination I gave you on some notebooks (once I  had to try several and only ctrl+alt+F5 would work)
[21:22] <stduseren> styol: how are u using it?
[21:22] <SpaceBass> stduseren, its very cross platform
[21:22] <styol> guntbert very interesting... it could also be complicated by the fact that im using synergy at the same time lol
[21:23] <styol> stduseren i actually have mac osx as the synergy server, and a bluetooth mouse and keyboard attached to the mac... then a windows synergy client
[21:23] <nomin> anyone else trying to get microsoft silverlight2 working on linux to see the live NCAA tournament stream?  One user on the forums mentioned this:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1097147

[21:23] <nomin> "moonlight" was made for linux but it's only silverlight 1 whereas the NCAA tournament uses silverlight 2
[21:24] <guntbert> styol: not entirely impossible :-))
[21:24] <centaur5> Does anybody know of some remote support software for Linux that will allow the client to initialize it to get through the firewall?  Something equivalent to teamviewer.com for Ubuntu?
[21:24] <stduseren> styol: is it free?

[21:26] <achilles> fosco_, it was okay and the configurations are correct
[21:26] <styol> stduseren: the synergy server is the computer that has the keyboard and mouse.. the client is one that uses that keyboard and mouse by being a client to the server

[21:34] <danny> mint: Just let the settings be..
[21:34] <styol> guntbert i think its possible that twm-kiosk might be doing its job? even then there shouldbe a way to get out of it and resume normal control, but perhaps i just shot myself in the foot by using the main account
[21:34] <danny> mint: Click next :D
[21:34] <mint> aw

[21:37] <guntbert> styol: strange, but you *should* be able to get into a "rescue session" when booting (I don't remember too well, don't boot very often :-))
[21:37] <danny> Haha.. Why can't people just use google or look up the documentation... grr
[21:37] <styol> guntbert actually it must be vmware... theres a special menu in vmware to "send ctrl+alt+delete"

[21:40] <paulo39> hi, i had a litle problems when installing the virtualbox and i installed a lot of minux-images of kernel or something like that. it seems all that packages are in /lib/modules. my question is, it's fine if i remove all linux kernel's images (in synaptic) or does it not good?
[21:40] <danny> rhzr: google it!

[21:43] <billyprefect> stupid wireless card...

[21:48] <or4n> Hey, any ideas for software that I can use to replace my TI-89 calculator?
[21:49] <brandonban6> hey guys, something went south with my ubuntu 8.10 setup........i know longer haver Firefox bookmarks, or server share bookmarks, Pidgin crashed and won't up my buddy list, Virtual Box can't see my Virtual machine. I don't even know where to begin trouble shooting....
[21:50] <p-f> I just mounted a volume using truecrypt and all its files with special characters are showing up with question marks. How can I fix this?
[21:50] <amishgandhi_> [#ubuntu]
[21:50] <lentdormi> hi
[21:50] <valeria> hello. just installed ubuntu 8.10 and am having trouble w/ wireless setup Broadcom BCM4306
[21:50] <AnArrayfulOfPerl> i just set up DNS. how do i tell my domain name to use it (what do i tell it to use as the name server?)
[21:50] <or4n> brandonban6: it seems like your home-directory is lost
[21:50] <amishgandhi_>  I installed ubuntu 8.10 and its great but internet download is too slow
[21:51] <or4n> brandonban6: got /home on it's own partition?
[21:51] <brandonban6> or4n, i agree, how can browse to it with nautilus, but it acts like it is all defaults.
[21:51] <SpaceBass> pw-toxic, it should be in your menu under multimedia, but you can run mythtvfrontend from the command line too
[21:51] <brandonban6> or4n, no. sda1 with the install
[21:51] <SpaceBass> pw-toxic, and congrats, thats not the easiest install in the world :D
[21:52] <Slart> AnArrayfulOfPerl: you talk to whoever you bought the domain name from.. they'll have further instructions
[21:52] <pw-toxic> SpaceBass, well if i use the link in the menu nothing happens
[21:52] <or4n> brandonban6: did you mount something on top of /home?
[21:52] <SpaceBass> pw-toxic, ah... try running it from the CLI
[21:52] <mralexandro> i have issues in hardy heron 8.04 with nvidia drivers, and cpu i think. i have a dell xps m1330 and i think something is not properly working since somethimes the os lags when supposed to do basicc operations
[21:52] <k4r1m> hey for some reason ubuntu mounted my drive as read only could i somehow change this to write on it?
[21:52] <brandonban6> or4n, no, not that I know of.
[21:53] <Slart> k4r1m: find out why it decided "read only" would be a good idea.. it probably has a good reason to do that
[21:53] <valeria> anybody know to install firmware from unsupported wireless broadcom bcm4306?
[21:53] <Slart> !away > Andre_Gondim-afk
[21:53] <pw-toxic>  This version of MythTV requires an updated database schema. Please run mythtv-setup or mythbackend to update your database. @ SpaceBass
[21:53] <pw-toxic> what shall i do?
[21:53] <brandonban6> or4n, ls -l /home, shows my home directory as me the owner, and it belongs into my group.
[21:53] <or4n> brandonban6: check your /etc/passwd that your home-directory is correct
[21:54] <mralexandro> to start of then. how do i access my nvidia control panel?
[21:54] <SpaceBass> pw-toxic, sounds like you need to run mythtv-setup :D
[21:54] <pw-toxic> where?
[21:54] <SpaceBass> commandline
[21:54] <or4n> brandonban6: and is there any hidden files in your folder... like .mozilla
[21:54] <pw-toxic> if i type mythtv-setup on my console he says command not found
[21:55] <k4r1m> well i dont know what the problem is... could be cuz the format is hfs+?
[21:55] <brandonban6> yep, they all show up, Virtualboxes VDI folder shows up too.
[21:55] <brandonban6> or4n,
[21:55] <SpaceBass> pw-toxic, try sudo su - myth
[21:55] <jugger> i'm trying to upgrade alsa in hardy heron.  when i do "sudo ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-kernel=/usr" i get "The file /usr/include/linux/autoconf.h does not exist" even though the linux headers are installed.  what am i missing?
[21:55] <SpaceBass> then run it as the myth user
[21:55] <SpaceBass> pw-toxic, and we might want to move this to #mythtv-users
[21:55] <brandonban6> or4n, /etc/passwd file looks intact........x in the password column as I have shadow on.
[21:56] <pw-toxic> SpaceBass, do you join this channel too? ;K)
[21:56] <or4n> brandonban6: I'm just figuring out anything that might have that kind of effect
[21:56] <jstarr> hello just testing out irssi on ubuntu. it rocks!
[21:57] <brandonban6> or4n, I understand and appreciate it! I'm clueless, this is weird.

[21:57] <marcc> how can I find out if a Radeon 9550 is compatible with Ubuntu?
[21:57] <Droopsta915> How do install a tar.bz2 file?
[21:57] <floatboat> how do i change acroread to use lp instead of lpr?
[21:57] <Slart> !compile | Droopsta915
[21:57] <JuJuBee> Is there a wifi switcher/manager for gnome?
[21:58] <zleap> floatboat, not sure but does acroread use the default printer thing, so if you're using lp by default it should use that perhaps
[21:58] <or4n> brandonban6: do you have permissions to read all those files in your home-directory too? I mean not just that dir but everything inside it
[21:59] <floatboat> zleap: how do i know whtat the default printer thing is?
[21:59] <nicobariloche> hola
[21:59] <guntbert> !es | nicobariloche
[21:59] <brandonban6> or4n, the visiblie files (documents, music, ect) I do, how do I list permissions on hidden files?
[22:00] <or4n> brandonban6: ls -la
[22:00] <rickest> I've added some 3rd party repositories and now I can remember which one provided a certain package.  how do I find that?
[22:00] <nicobariloche> ok i need information to get yahoo chat by ubuntu do you know about it?
[22:01] <Deevz> I just installed apache2 and I tried modifying index.html but it says I dont have the permission to save the file

[22:01] <Deevz> How do I get the permission?
[22:01] <chyea> I'm using Postfix for SMTP, I need IMAP now.
[22:01] <Akkernight> How can I see my computer hardware specs in Ubuntu? Like some text I can copy and paste
[22:01] <SPF> Deevz: add yourself to the apache group
[22:01] <oCean_> rickest: I think "apt-get policy <package>" does show that
[22:01] <JuJuBee> chyea : dovecot?
[22:01] <brandonban6> or4n, it appears I do....I deleted 15gbs of music and pidgin and the FF bookmarks came back
[22:02] <Deevz> SPF: where do I manage groups?
[22:02] <Slart> Akkernight: lshw will give you more info than you probably want
[22:02] <oCean_> Akkernight: "lspci -vv" and "sudo lshw"
[22:02] <Slart> Akkernight: lspci lsusb are two other useful commands
[22:03] <SPF> Deevz: I don't know. But I always use useradd -G {group-name} username

[22:03] <sanguisdex> is there a way to save compiz profiles
[22:03] <Akkernight> ... These commands give me text that can be compared to the length of the bible -.-
[22:03] <obey_me> stealth-: which bash
[22:03] <Slart> stealth-: which bash
[22:04] <or4n> brandonban6: that sound really weird. maybe you should check your filesystem for errors
[22:04] <guntbert> rickest: start synaptic, it allows to search for packages
[22:04] <or4n> *sounds
[22:04] <stealth-> Slart, obey_me: I dont know :| Im running echo and rsync, pretty much
[22:04] <bigrigger> stealth-: #!/bin/bash
[22:04] <Slart> if you say, "bash.. the standard shell in ubuntu" I will get very very upset.. =)
[22:04] <JuJuBee> anybody know of gnome wifi switcher?
[22:04] <Slart> stealth-: just run "which bash" in a terminal.. which tells you where the binary is
[22:04] <brandonban6> or4n, I agree........but the VDI file for virtualbox is still gone, I'm worried about that. Would a FS ever randomly start deleting large files?
[22:05] <stealth-> Slart, bigrigger, obey_me: Okay, I got it. Thanks guys.
[22:05] <sanguisdex> is there a way to save compiz profiles for when  I need to tunr it off in order to use non full screen programs like amaya
[22:05] <obey_me> stealth:  np
[22:05] <stealth-> sanguisdex: when you turn it off, it should have the same settings for when you turn it back on
[22:05] <chyea> whenever i run the 'top' command to view usages, it shows "Cpu(s):  0.0%us,  0.0%sy,  0.0%ni,100.0%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st", what is %id and is 100% usage bad? :-X
[22:05] <Cpudan80> sanguisdex: ask #compiz
[22:05] <sanguisdex> ok
[22:05] <ahlala> Matsu es-tu là?
[22:06] <Cpudan80> hmmm spanish?
[22:06] <Slart> !fr | ahlala
[22:06] <Cpudan80> oh french
[22:06] <SPF> chyea: see man top
[22:06] <stealth-> sanguisdex: but there is a profile export manager, if thats what you were looking for. Thats for when you neeed to backup your settings or move them to another system.
[22:06] <ahlala> trying to join Matsu
[22:06] <or4n> brandonban6: atleast it shouldn't. are you using some not-so-common fs?
[22:06] <Akkernight> is there no command that gives me info about my hardware in a simple way? Like, RAMs, Gfx card(s), Motherboard, CPU ?
[22:07] <sanguisdex> stealth-: its more that every time I turn it off the settings are reset
[22:07] <brandonban6> or4n, ext3
[22:07] <stealth-> Akkernight: top gives some of that
[22:07] <zleap> Akkernight, infobash i think or bash info
[22:07] <stealth-> sanguisdex: thats strange. How are you turning it off?
[22:07] <zleap> mind you thast has caused x to restart on me whenI used debian
[22:07] <Slart> Akkernight: lshw was already suggested to you
[22:07] <JuJuBee> Im using kde4.2 kubuntu 8.10 64 bit.  I have a nice dual head setup working using xinerama.  If I am not connected to a second head, I cannot start into kde, only gnome.  Plasma causes a sig11 error (I think that is what it was).
[22:07] <zleap> also uname -a could do it

[22:09] <hitman_beginner> when i call someone it said "problem with audio playback"
[22:10] <or4n> brandonban6: I'm not sure if I got anymore ideas except that fsck
[22:10] <thiebaude> Akkernight: right click on application and edit menus
[22:10] <guntbert> Akkernight: not sure but try sudo aptitude install sysinfo
[22:10] <obey_me> hitman_beginner:  are you on 8.10?
[22:10] <SPF> chyea: in case you're wondering of the other fields, it's on the manpage under the CPU states chapter
[22:10] <hitman_beginner> yes
[22:10] <ahlala> hello world, i didn't want to troll, just want to tell that ubuntu studio is really great!!!
[22:10] <or4n> brandonban6: and after fsck you should check /lost+found
[22:10] <brandonban6> or4n, I will check run the file check. Thank you so much for your help, at least I got half the data back!
[22:10] <brandonban6> will do!
[22:11] <stealth-> sanguisdex: well, im not using gnome, so im not too familiar with how it works. I know there is a easier way to manage compiz though. Is called fusion-icon and it sits in your system tray and you can right click on it to turn compiz on or off. type 'sudo apt-get install fusion-icon' to install it.
[22:11] <ahlala> is anybody have problems with this distro?
[22:11] <obey_me> hitman_beginner:  http://forum.skype.com/lofiversion/index.php/t231111.html - the answer is in there
[22:11] <rickest> oCean_: ah yes, apt-cache policy <pkg> (rather than apt-get), thanks!
[22:11] <thiebaude> ahlala: i installed ubuntu studio 1 hr ago, it is great
[22:11] <stealth-> ahlala: well, this is a support channel, so yes. People in here would be having trouble :|
[22:11] <guntbert> ahlala: please keep on topic here, this is the ubuntu support channel
[22:11] <ahlala> thiebaude yes
[22:11] <ahlala> guntbert ok
[22:11] <rickest> guntbert: but does it show which repository it came from?
[22:11] <hitman_beginner> oh thanks
[22:12] <thiebaude> ahlala: try #ubuntu studio
[22:12] <ahlala> ok to everyone, if i can help i do , i'm under debian for few years
[22:12] <Akkernight> ok, sysinfo is exactly what I needed, thanks!
[22:12] <guntbert> rickest: yes, in the "common" tab
[22:12] <obey_me> hitman_beginner:  look for the post by hyperair
[22:12] <or4n> So no-one had ideas for good calculator software? I don't want to run TI89 emulator :D
[22:13] <mvalviar> hi people
[22:13] <Slart> or4n: you just want some software for doing calculations?
[22:14] <JoLeClodo> hello
[22:14] <Slart> or4n: I just use Qualculate or speedcrunch
[22:14] <SPF> calculations? I just use expr :)
[22:14] <JoLeClodo> somebody have a dell inspiron ?
[22:14] <guntbert> ahlala: just wait till you see a question you want to answer ... :-))
[22:14] <JoLeClodo> dell mini inspiron ?
[22:14] <or4n> Slart: but I need graphing calculator... and it would be nice if I could derivate and stuff with it too
[22:14] <ahlala> guntbert -> yes i know ;)
[22:14] <mvalviar> just a quick question. How do I fix the shutdown command? Whenever I issue it. It doesn't do what its supposed to do.
[22:14] <Akkernight> SLI works for Ubuntu?
[22:14] <Slart> or4n: symbolic math.. hmm.. not many apps for that in linux land
[22:15] <thiebaude> Akkernight: what is SLI?
[22:15] <Slart> or4n: derive is one of the few.. but it's starting to show its age
[22:15] <k4r1m> i just installed hfs+ but i still cant write on my mac drive
[22:15] <Akkernight> thiebaude, Nvidia SLI for using two Graphics cards.. Dunno if it supports mroe than one
[22:15] <or4n> Slart: it's just that it would be easier to do stuff with laptop than my TI89
[22:15] <guntbert> Slart: derive runs on linux?
[22:16] <bigrigger> mvalviar: sudo shutdown -h now  <--now is needed or a specfic time.
[22:16] <rickest> guntbert: I'm seeing no common tab in synaptic. where?
[22:16] <mralexandro> how do i open the nvidia control panel in ubuntu hardy heron 8.04
[22:16] <Slart> guntbert: hmm.. for a while I thought it did.. I can't find it though...
[22:16] <ahlala> mralexandro : did you have the latest drivers installed ?
[22:17] <or4n> derive + wine :D
[22:17] <ahlala> got nvidia Ge Force4Ti 4200
[22:17] <or4n> that's too bad if there isn't better solution
[22:17] <Akkernight> I have 4GB of RAM, but on Vista 32bit it was only 3200mb RAM, 'cause it was 32bit, now I have Ubuntu 64bit, does this mean I can have access to all the 4GB RAMs ?
[22:17] <guntbert> Slart: pity, because the ti89 uses derive as base
[22:17] <k4r1m> Akkernight: yes
[22:18] <Cpudan80> Akkernight: yes
[22:18] <mvalviar> thats what I issue. It takes me to the progress bar screen and stays there. Its odd because its suppose to empty. But what is shown is a progress bar filling up. It stops at about 95%.
[22:18] <Akkernight> Awesome ^^ One more reason why to use Ubuntu
[22:18] <Cpudan80> do not use the Vista PAE hack to gain access to that upper 800MB of RAM, not worth it
[22:18] <Akkernight> xP
[22:18] <AnArrayfulOfPerl> i just set up DNS. how do i tell my domain name to use it (what do i tell it to use as the name server?)
[22:18] <Cpudan80> To be fair - Vista x64 would see the full 4GB
 i dont know about the latest driver. since this is a laptop the graphic driver is listed as prohibited or something. but i downloaded trough hardware drivers manager. is there a place i can find the latest?
[22:18] <k4r1m> Akkernight: u only had 3200 in vista cuz of ur video memory cuz video memory plus ram cant exceed 4gb on any 32bit os
[22:18] <Slart> guntbert: sorry.. I was thinking of maxima.. my bad
[22:19] <guntbert> rickest: open preferences, select "show package properties in main....", or just right click on a package, select properties
[22:19] <k4r1m> well except os x its hybrid :D
[22:19] <Slart> or4n: maxima is the package I was thinking of.. not derive
[22:19] <Akkernight> cpudan80, I know, but I don't want to spend what... $1000 more for 800 more MBs of RAM xP
[22:19] <tisker> Suggest me please nice desktop switcher for xfce. I don't like "Pager"
[22:19] <Akkernight> k4r1m, I know that, but I was wondering if Ubuntu supported 4GB of RAM ;)
[22:19] <Cpudan80> well - you shoulda bought the right OS in the first place - but thats OT
[22:19] <dik> hi all, just checking my connection...by by.
[22:19] <Eldemon> hi ^^
[22:19] <or4n> Slart: gonna check that out, thanks
[22:20] <Slart> !info maxima
[22:20] <guntbert> Slart: np :-), maxima is a symbolic algebra tool?
[22:20] <Akkernight> cpudan80, here where I live PCs gets sold with a installed OS xP
[22:20] <k4r1m> Akkernight: yeah if the 32bit ubuntu was like os x it would be so much better
[22:20] <Slart> guntbert: iirc, yes.. I've never gotten used to it though
[22:20] <rickest> guntbert: indeed, thanks.  I still don't see the source repository but that's more info than I had
[22:20] <k4r1m> so anybody knows could i get ubuntu to write on my hfs drive?
[22:21] <guntbert> Slart: np, I'll have a look
[22:21] <DasEi> !hfs | k4r1m
[22:21] <ahlala> mralexandro : my experience is : debian, ubuntu. ubuntu studio after the install (8.10) and the upgrade, the update manager notified me an upgrade for my graphic card's driver, done it, and it installs automatically The Nvidia Driver Settings (v96) in order to use correctly my card with twinview, etc.
[22:21] <kc8pxy> i have a ubuntu hardy server (i386) that I'm trying to send the logs to a central log host. the loghost is running syslog-ng. i added `*.* @FQDN_of_loghost` to /etc/syslog.conf and tried to restart the syslog service, and i don't see it's logs showing up at the log host..    what am i doing wrong?
[22:22] <ahlala> mralexandro : accessible in the Gnome Menu, under administration
[22:22] <ahlala> after the install reboot and you'll enjoy
[22:22] <Akkernight> is it possible to see the speed of your RAM in sysinfo ?
[22:22] <thiebaude> Akkernight: it supports it
[22:22] <or4n> Slart: not using ubuntu on this machine, but maxima is on portage too :)
[22:23] <Slart> or4n: =)
[22:23] <guntbert> rickest: you still can choose "origin" from the buttons on the left side, the you will see all repos and their packages
[22:23] <Akkernight> thiebaude, know where I see it ?
[22:23]  * G69 Boa noite / Good Night!
[22:24] <thiebaude> Akkernight: system monitor
[22:25] <tacosarecool> hello
[22:25] <mralexandro> ahlala, no i do not have that under administration. but i have installed the nvidia driver. it is a prohibited driver or something. what that means i do not quite understand except it is because brands like dell and hp make drivers specifically for their laptops themselves
[22:25] <hogger> hey
[22:26] <bbmusicb1> away
[22:26] <mralexandro> ahlala, proprietary drivers they are called
[22:26] <guntbert> or rickest you could look at the "versions" tab
[22:26] <DasEi> mralexandro: there are free (gpl) drivers and prpitary ones (closed source)
[22:26] <sebsebseb>  
[22:26] <sebsebseb>  
[22:26] <FloodBot2> sebsebseb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:26] <k4r1m> DasEi: i installed hfsplus but its still read only for some reason...
[22:26] <mralexandro> yeah i have proprietary DasEi
[22:26] <ahlala> mralexandro : don't worry about the message, if the system detects a driver update, try to enable it, reboot, and go under the administration->Nvidia server settings and try to configure
[22:27] <hogger> anyone else have issues with their laptop fan always running under ubuntu 8.10?
[22:27] <tacosarecool> Can I get kubuntu support here it's sort of related to ubuntu and no one helpful is in the kubuntu channel
[22:27] <tacosarecool> right no
[22:27] <Akkernight> holy s**t! Why is Ubuntu so awesome o.o? It shows the usage of each processor and not like Windows, shows how much you use of your total processor power
[22:27] <tacosarecool> w
[22:27] <ahlala> if it doesn't work, just deactivate trhe driver and reboot
[22:27] <guntbert> sebsebseb: a twitchy pinky ;-) ??
[22:27] <sebsebseb> guntbert: a what????
[22:27] <Slart> Akkernight: to be fair, I think windows shows each processor too
[22:27] <tacosarecool> so can I?
[22:27] <tacosarecool>  I need a pgp cacher in kubuntu so I don't need to go into ubuntu and use the password then get internet then you use kubuntu and you get internet. But then if you let it sleep the internet disconnects from kubuntu and I need to login to ubuntu again.
[22:27] <shane8002> does anyone know how to switch back to the original kernel on intrepid ibex
[22:27] <tacosarecool> nevermind about the pgp cacher
[22:27] <Akkernight> slart, it does o.O?
[22:28] <JeroenTB> hogger: my laptop works fine on ubuntu 8.10, ibm T61 is well supported
[22:28] <sebsebseb> shane8002: which kernel are you using?
[22:28] <mralexandro> ahlala, i have restarted and compiz fusion effects work good. like cube etc. the graphic card works. it is just that i think i remember that first time after installing ubuntu hardy heron on a computer you have to activate the nvidia controll panel
[22:28] <guntbert> sebsebseb: I supposed your "little finger" was nervous :-))
[22:28] <mralexandro> with a command in terminal
[22:28] <hogger> i have an T61 also but the fan seems to be always running
[22:28] <sebsebseb> guntbert: lol
[22:28] <JeroenTB> Slart: if windoze doesn't freeze ;)
[22:28] <DasEi> k4r1m: did you try to write as root ?
[22:29] <shane8002> well I installed a new kernel  specifically for the acer aspire one but i didnt work right so i need to go back to the original in intrepid. I think its 2.6.27
[22:29] <k4r1m> DasEi: nope i will now :D
[22:29] <JeroenTB> hogger: mine doesn't, maybe you forgot to install something ?!?
[22:29] <hogger> Jeroen: on my T61 only when I unplug the power supply and it's on battery does the fan settle down SOME, but it starts right back up again after a short few sec pause
[22:29] <sebsebseb> shane8002: maybe you can get from the repo
[22:29] <ahlala> mralexandro : if it works..it's cool !!! :)
[22:29] <tacosarecool> but the ubuntu password screen won't work on kubuntu
[22:29] <Eldemon> How to creat executable in Anjuta or link source-object? (C/C++)
[22:29] <hogger> Jeroen: I installed from live cd
[22:30] <k4r1m> DasEi: still read only error
[22:30] <JeroenTB> hogger: is your cpu at max frequency all the time ?
[22:30] <esreverd> is there a pidgin package for Ubuntu 6?
[22:30] <mralexandro> ahlala, yeah but i want control panel, so i can configure hdmi settings and stuff
[22:30] <hogger> Jeroen: no it goes down to 800MHZ
[22:30] <tacosarecool> no you need to update your ubuntu
[22:30] <hogger> Jeroen: but the fan is still even then always running
[22:30] <JeroenTB> hogger: yeah my lappie is on 800Mhz most of the time too, i also installed using the live cd, applied all patches too
[22:30] <ahlala> so you got to have access to the Nvidia driver settings and configure it!
[22:31] <Akkernight> Damn, aMSN used 50% of my processor power = Quad Core ~ 2.4GHz(x4) o.o ain't that kinda much ?
[22:31] <hogger> Jeroen: how often does your fan run?
[22:31] <JeroenTB> hogger: there are a few thinkpad specific pages out there, wait a sec and i'll look it up
[22:31] <DasEi> k4r1m: I run no apple here right now, try to re-mount it manually (see man mount) ? I'm overasked
[22:31] <JeroenTB> hogger: only when i'm running something heavy
[22:31] <JeroenTB> hogger: but cold country here ;)
[22:32] <k4r1m> DasEi: k ill try that
[22:32] <hitman_beginner> using skype when i make call it's said "probleme with audio capture"
[22:32] <hitman_beginner> plz help me
[22:32] <gartral> does anyone have issues playing movies? after a few minutes my video output turns to garbage, but audio still works
[22:32] <JeroenTB> hogger: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:T61 is an excellent source of info for tuning the thinkpad
[22:32] <rickest> guntbert: your 'versions' tab shows the source repository?  mine just shows version
[22:32] <DasEi> hitman_beginner: does your audio in general work ?
[22:32] <Akkernight> hitman_beginner, I've struggeled with that problem for ages, now I got it to work for my friend by adjusting the sound settings for Ubuntu
[22:32] <hogger> Jeroen: Ive been in Belgium for the last few months and it's still been running, even with the heat turned off!
[22:33] <yow|x2> hitman_beginner - try changing your default sound preference to alsa instead of pulse or vice versa
[22:33] <Cpudan80> gartral: what program, what system specs ...
[22:33] <tacosarecool> ubuntu password screen won't work in Kubuntu!
[22:33] <hogger> Jeroen: ok thanks I will give it a go
[22:33] <Eldemon> How to creat executable in Anjuta or link source-object? (C/C++)
[22:33] <tacosarecool> I have ubuntu and kubuntu and I want to login kubuntu most of the time
[22:33] <tacosarecool> It's on laptop
[22:34] <joetheodd> I'm not sure if this is the right place, but does anyone have a recommendation of using Java Azureus or native Azureus? I'm on x64 if that matters.
[22:34] <rickest> tacosarecool: gdm or kdm, you should be able to set the default environment there
[22:34] <LjL> tacosarecool: it should work, you should just have to select the session you want to start in the Options of the login screen...
[22:34] <hitman_beginner> DasEi : yes
[22:34] <JeroenTB> hogger: tc, it worked 4me and i don't have the same issue, however hardware can cause the needed airflow when things get hotter than it should, usually dust build up in the cooling fins etc.
[22:34] <tacosarecool> that won't work I have to login to ubuntu first to get wireless internet
[22:34] <MaT-dg> I want ti use 'Wammu' as my mobile phone manager in ubuntu 8.10 but when configuring a connection it asks me the port where the phone is connected to.. what do I have to enter there?
[22:34] <tacosarecool> gnome
[22:34] <gartral> Cpudan80: it doesnt matter, all programs do it, my system specs? i have an nvidia geforce 2 MX 400, 1.7 ghrz celeron proc, 512 mb ram, and i i cant tell you anything more off the top of my head
[22:34] <tacosarecool> then I go into kde
[22:34] <DasEi> hitman_beginner: which audio do you use ? alsa ?
[22:35] <tacosarecool> then if I let it sleep or whatever the internet disconnects from kde
[22:35] <hitman_beginner> i dont understand
[22:35] <gartral> Cpudan80: i believe its the gfx card, cause the intergrated 4mb card works just fine
[22:35] <kc8pxy> i have a ubuntu hardy server (i386) that I'm trying to send the logs to a central log host. the loghost is running syslog-ng. i added `*.* @FQDN_of_loghost` to /etc/syslog.conf and tried to restart the syslog service, and i don't see it's logs showing up at the log host..    what am i doing wrong?
[22:35] <DasEi> !alsa | hitman_beginner
[22:35] <tacosarecool> !laptopwireless
[22:35] <JeroenTB> tacosarecool: i've been getting weird errors in ubuntu 8.10 when installing all kubuntu related packages, so i switched back to gnome
[22:35] <tacosarecool> !wireless
[22:36] <yow|x2> hitman_beginner - system > preferences > sound >>>>> set sound capture to alsa. I had the same issue and it resolved, try it. It should work.
[22:36] <mralexandro> ahlala, in my case the nvidia controll panel was not installed when i installed the nvidia drivers. the drivers work, but the control panel or settings manager is not included. any clue on how to "activate it" or something?
[22:36] <Cpudan80> gartral: change the video output mode
[22:36] <Cpudan80> gartral: in VLC options or some such
[22:36] <gartral> Cpudan80: how, and to what?
[22:36] <DasEi> hitman_beginner: I haven't experienced probs after instaling alsa(-mixer), then skype
[22:36] <JeroenTB> tacosarecool: in the networkmanager applet, rightclick on it and you'll see that you 1st have to enable the network after a resume
[22:37] <Cpudan80> gartral: I only use VLC ... so for there it would be tools --> preferences --> Video
[22:37] <gartral> Cpudan80: players that do it quickly are VLC, mplayer, and banshee, dragon and miro both play for about 10 minutes before the error
[22:37] <hitman_beginner> it's set to alsa
[22:37] <Cpudan80> gartral: X11 or XVideo extensions
[22:37] <Cpudan80> you can play videos in banshee ?
[22:37] <Cpudan80> weird
[22:38] <Serafeim> firefox bookmarks kai history has lost
[22:38] <stuntedbluntman> can somebody help me quick
[22:38] <gartral> Cpudan80: banshee is a media organizer, not a music organizer, yes
[22:38] <DasEi> hitman_beginner: does /var/log/syslog  contain info about skype , error-message ?
[22:38] <barberio> Hey. Anyone want to confirm that the latest jaunty builds of python2.6-minimal don't have zlib?
[22:38] <Slart> barberio: perhaps someone in #ubuntu+1 can help you.. that is the support channel for jaunty
[22:39] <tritium> barberio: #ubuntu+1 for jaunty questions
[22:39] <tacosarecool> where is network manager
[22:39] <gartral> Cpudan80: what options should i mess with?
[22:39] <stuntedbluntman> how do you uninstall software in ubuntu
[22:39] <dik> Hi again, I can't get any joy out of my browser, & I get a '111 connection refused'  returned in TY. any ideas as to what is going on? I was on-line earlier today...
[22:39] <DasEi> stuntedbluntman: apt-get remove <package>
[22:39] <Cpudan80> gartral: set output to "X11" or XVideo ...
[22:39] <Akkernight> what was it I needed to type into the terminal to be able to download software not supported by Ubuntu, like Skype ?
[22:40] <mralexandro> found it. to install nvidia control panel you go to terminal and type sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
[22:40] <Akkernight> Ubuntu team, I mean
[22:40] <Cpudan80> gartral: XVideo is prob a better bet than X11, but X11 should work
[22:40] <sebsebseb> dik: web browser problems? can't go on webpages?
[22:40] <Eldemon> How to creat executable in Anjuta or link source-object? Plz(C/C++)
[22:40] <dik> seb-, yes,
[22:40] <nightrid3r> !skype
[22:40] <gartral> Cpudan80: wich produces cleaner video?
[22:40] <dik> firefox 3, running fine earlier
[22:41] <stuntedbluntman> where do i get the full package name
[22:41] <Cpudan80> gartral: in theory, XVideo is a faster vid processor than X11, try that one first
[22:41] <DasEi> stuntedbluntman: apt-cache search package*
[22:41] <mindkeep> X/nvidia question for the masses: about a month ago DPMS started powering off my monitors after 1 minute of idle time. gnome menus seem to be set correctly. Any other places to look?
[22:41] <Cpudan80> gartral: really it depends on your HW -- you may have to play around with the options
[22:41] <gartral> Cpudan80: im a media-phile, if theres any distortion, i get angry >.>
[22:42] <gnumm> hi
[22:42] <gartral> Cpudan80: xvideo selected, should i restart vlc and try again, or does it change "on the fly" in linux (i hate windows)
[22:42] <gnumm> why is it possible that ubuntu hardy is LTS and Kubuntu hrady not?
[22:42] <gnumm> i mean they are both connected to the same repos
[22:42] <Cpudan80> gartral: just close and reopen VLC
[22:42] <DasEi> stuntedbluntman: or lookup synaptic
[22:43] <Cpudan80> gartral: I think it would change on the fly - not real sure
[22:43] <ndurner> Hi!
[22:43] <k4r1m> DasEi: is there maybe no Journaling support?
[22:43] <mralexandro> i know sudo cp /div/xxx.xxx /etc/div will copy a file. but what is the command for erasing a file?
[22:43] <mralexandro> is it dl?
[22:43] <joetheodd> Is there a bittorrent client that supports bandwidth scheduling? For instance my bandwidth is limited per day except between 2 and 5AM, so I want to automatically start/stop torrents accordingly.
[22:43] <Slart> mralexandro: rm
[22:43] <mralexandro> aah
[22:43] <mralexandro> thanks
[22:43] <ndurner> I have a fresh Ubuntu 8.10 install, but it does not recognize any USB devices. lsusb does not return anything.
[22:44] <DasEi> k4r1m: as said before, I'm not too familiar with macOS, sorry
[22:44] <gartral> Cpudan80: changing too xvideo only made it worse
[22:44] <ndurner> What can I do?
[22:44] <k4r1m> kk no
[22:44] <k4r1m> np*
[22:44] <Cpudan80> gartral: try something else
[22:44] <Cpudan80> X11 maybe
[22:44] <sim_kharkov> someone uses mdc?
[22:45] <Krell> cipherZen, hello again
[22:46] <gartral> Cpudan80: it works now, but its so very choppy, im sowing0.3 fps
[22:46] <Cpudan80> gartral: hmmm could be gfx driver issue - which driver are you using?
[22:46] <gartral> Cpudan80: recomended restricted
[22:47] <Cpudan80> run this
[22:47] <gartral> ohh, there it goes, it seems only to be choppy if im typing
[22:47] <Cpudan80> glxinfo | grep direct
[22:47] <Cpudan80> hopefully it says "yes"
[22:47] <dik> sebsebseb, any ideas? is there a general problem with browsers?
[22:47] <Krell> anyone feel like helping a newbie?
[22:48] <cipherZen> hey Krell
[22:48] <gartral> Cpudan80: it does
[22:48] <dik> Anyone using thephonecoop for broadband having probs with browsing?
[22:48] <kansan> help my panel is on right hand side of the screen... how do i move it to the top?
[22:48] <Guest30032> just drag it
[22:48] <Slart> kansan: click, drag, drop
[22:48] <Cpudan80> gartral: thats good then .... hrmmmm tricky tricky
[22:48] <dik> Krell, i can try...
[22:48] <kansan> Start not working
[22:48] <sebsebseb> dik: which browser?
[22:48] <Krell> cipherZen, oh hey thought you were afk or something :) you have time for me to pick your brain today?
[22:48] <dik> sebsebseb,  ff 3
[22:48] <sebsebseb> dik: have you tried another browser?
[22:49] <Cpudan80> gartral: does this happen on full screen and non full screen?
[22:49] <cipherZen> well, i was a little, playing some halo right now, but i can answer something if its quick
[22:49] <gartral> Cpudan80: lemme turn off compiz, and quit the irc, im showing a large relation to incoming text vs video playback
[22:49] <god-mok> hi, i reinstalled ubuntu jaunty and mounted my old home as always, but now my whole home partition shows the fresh installed folders, and gparted + nautilus shows, that 60gb are used
[22:49] <gartral> Cpudan80: the initial problem happened regardless of screen/window size
[22:49] <dik> sebsebseb,  I can't get online to download.....:-)
[22:50] <cjae_> can someone tell me why I cannot write to my ntfs external drive with xubuntu 8.10, afaik ntfs 3g is installed and this was a fresh install
[22:50] <Cpudan80> gartral: ehh ok
[22:50] <sebsebseb> dik: you  don't need a browser, to download programs into Ubuntu :D
[22:50] <Cpudan80> gartral: pastebin your /etc/xorg.conf file someplace
[22:50] <gartral> Cpudan80: someone told me to edit my bios's vmemory size, but my bios are pathetic on this machine
[22:50] <dik> sebsebseb, what is the code, I assume this is done in term?
[22:51] <Cpudan80> gartral: how much video ram do you have?
[22:51] <sebsebseb> dik: yeah exactly, your meant to  get most programs off Ubuntu's server.   either via the command line,  or the slow graphical way
[22:51] <sebsebseb> dik: two slow graphical ways to choose from
[22:51] <sebsebseb> dik: sudo apt-get install  galeon  ephipany-browser
[22:51] <gartral> Cpudan80: total, or on the active card? i have 64 mb on the card, 4 intergrated to the mobo
[22:51] <Cpudan80> hmm
[22:52] <Cpudan80> 64 should be plenty enough
[22:52] <sebsebseb> dik: epiphany probably won't add itself to the menu,  but you can open it by  running epiphany-browser from the terminal once installed.  and  galeon is rather nice as well :)
[22:52] <gartral> Cpudan80: i can run games fine, but movies dont
[22:52] <sebsebseb> dik: plus there are quite a few other browsers I could have told you to install :d
[22:52] <sebsebseb> dik: that are all good as well
[22:52] <Krell> ok here goes .... i can play DVD movies with VLC and Totem... by using the interlace i can make the quality ok.  the problem comes from trying to use other movie players they say i don't have libdvdcss.
[22:52] <Slart> kansan: if you can't move the panel you can try right-clicking on it and check that it isn't "locked"
[22:53] <nosa> hay guys how do i edit the grub boot loader to always boot to windows unless i press a key, if you can link me to a guide i would  much appreciate it‬?:P
[22:53] <rww> sebsebseb: epiphany's icon situation resolves itself if you log out and back in again. It's a race condition caused by the binary and its icon being in different packages.
[22:53] <Krell> cipherZen, ok here goes .... i can play DVD movies with VLC and Totem... by using the interlace i can make the quality ok.  the problem comes from trying to use other movie players they say i don't have libdvdcss.
[22:53] <Slart> kansan: if it isn't locked you might want to try again.. they are supposed to be "draggable"
[22:53] <sebsebseb> rww: a race condition????
[22:53] <Krell> dik, ok here goes .... i can play DVD movies with VLC and Totem... by using the interlace i can make the quality ok.  the problem comes from trying to use other movie players they say i don't have libdvdcss.
[22:53] <p-f> How can one disable the "feature" that makes the wifi led flash every single time a packet is received?
[22:53] <gartral> Cpudan80: xorg.conf doesn't seem to exists where you told me to look (intrepid)
[22:53] <kansan> Slart, fixed thanxk
[22:54] <rww> sebsebseb: yeah. if the icon's package gets installed first, GNOME sees that the binary it points to doesn't exist yet and disables the icon. If the binary's package gets installed first (which doesn't generally happen), everything is fine.
[22:54] <Cpudan80> gartral: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:54] <dik> sebsebseb, thanks a lot, I will see wht occurs
[22:54] <Slart> p-f: might be hardcoded.. I've never seen a way to turn it off
[22:54] <Cpudan80> sorry if I typed it wrong the first time
[22:54] <p-f> Slart: that's...horrible
[22:54] <p-f> Slart: it keeps blinking every time there's traffic on the interface
[22:54] <dik> Krell,  it's past my level of expertise, sorry...
[22:55] <Krell> dik, ok :) thanks for offering to help
[22:55] <Slart> p-f: yup.. it's a rough world out there.. my bluetooth dongle kept me awake at night.. "it's bluetooth.. of course we have to have a huuuuuge blue led on it"
[22:55] <sebsebseb> rww: so a simple re log in should take  care of the icon
[22:55] <p-f> Slart: or my external hd's "LOOK AT ME! I'M DOING STUFF!"...
[22:55] <cipherZen> hrm, yeah, i remember that issue now
[22:55]  * p-f twitches
[22:56] <rww> sebsebseb: correct, because GNOME re-checks icons at login, so it sees the binary and re-enables the icon, so it shows up.
[22:56] <sebsebseb> gartral: are you on that computer using IRC?
[22:56] <dik> Krell, I don't use video stuff excepd as it comes:-)
[22:56] <rww> that's my understanding of it, anyway
[22:56] <sebsebseb> gartral: sorry wrong one
[22:56] <sebsebseb> dik: are you on that computer using IRC?
[22:56] <Slart> p-f: =)
[22:56] <gartral> Cpudan80: http://gar.pastebin.com/d249e0e43
[22:56] <p-f> Slart: guess I'll poke around /sys/class/leds and see what's in there
[22:56] <NOWAII> How can I transfer files from my pc to my sony ericsson k750i?
[22:56] <Guest30032> !networkmanager
[22:56] <cipherZen> Totem will not play DVD's unless you install gstreamer-xine from Synaptic
[22:57] <Guest30032> where is the network manager?
[22:57] <TwoToneSpirit> IDEA:  Who will join me, right now, in getting up, walking to a nearby home (of someone you've never met), knocking on the door, and introducing Ubuntu to the person that answers the door? (msg me)
[22:57] <Slart> NOWAII: using a cable might work.. or bluetooth
[22:57] <cipherZen> according to a random  forum post...maybe that will help Krell?
[22:57] <Cpudan80> gartral: looks good ...
[22:57] <NOWAII> It says cannot mount file
[22:57] <stuntedbluntman> thanks for the help guys it worked
[22:57] <Cpudan80> gartral: might try asking #videolan
[22:57] <NOWAII> Slart i do..
[22:57] <albacker> is there a way to work with VBA under UBUNTU?
[22:57] <Cpudan80> gartral: if you can get it fixed for VLC (the easiest one by far) -- you can probably get the others fixed by the same setting
[22:57] <tacosarecool> !networkmanger
[22:57] <dik> sebsebseb,   heres the output???  'Could not connect to ftp.ticklers.org:80 (90.207.225.196). - connect (111 Connection refused)'
[22:57] <sebsebseb> albacker: VBA?  remind me what that is
[22:57] <Ax3> !women
[22:57] <tacosarecool> !networkmanager
[22:57] <NOWAII> Slart it says unable to mount location
[22:57] <gartral> Cpudan80: but it isnt just vlc, its every media player and video
[22:58] <sebsebseb> dik: ftp what???????
[22:58] <god-mok> hi, i reinstalled ubuntu jaunty and mounted my old home as always, but now my whole home partition shows the fresh installed folders, but gparted + nautilus shows, that 60gb are used, is there a way to recover the file/directory strukture?
[22:58] <Cpudan80> yes but it is likely some video player setting you need to change
[22:58] <albacker> sebsebseb, VBA = Visual Basic for Application. used for macro/functions under excel i think theres a way to do this in OOo
[22:58] <Krell> cipherZen, umm totem and VLC work, mplayer, kaffeine, qxine do not
[22:58] <Cpudan80> gartral: you could try running vlc from the terminal to see what it says
[22:58] <Slart> NOWAII: hmm.. you might have to do something before it works.. install something or run some setup.. have you searched the forums?
[22:58] <Cpudan80> gartral: ex. just start vlc from the terminal, then try playing video
[22:58] <Cpudan80> it'll tell you if bad things are happenin
[22:59] <gartral> Cpudan80: i already tryed it, the problem is transparent to vlc it continues as if everything were normal
[22:59] <sebsebseb> albacker: yes I thought it was visual basic nonsense
[22:59] <yossi_> what is the command to restart x without rebooting ubuntu?
[22:59] <albacker> sebsebseb, can you answer my question ?
[22:59] <gartral> Cpudan80: also, the audio stream remains in tact
[22:59] <Cpudan80> gartral: even if you turn off compiz you have this problem?
[23:00] <voice5sur5> can anyone give me an instant-on distro ?
[23:00] <Cpudan80> yossi_: ctrl+alt+bkspc
[23:00] <yossi_> thank you
[23:00] <Slart> yossi_: sudo /etc/gdm restart.. or ctrl+shift+backspace..
[23:00] <dik> sebsebseb,   W: Failed to fetch http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/hardy/free/i18n/Translation-en_GB.bz2  Could not connect to packages.medibuntu.org:80 (88.191.82.11). - connect (111 Connection refused) [IP: 88.191.82.11 80]
[23:00] <voice5sur5> can anyone give me an instant-on distro ?
[23:00] <Krell> cipherZen, strangely kaffeine says it's encoded and needs libdvdcss, and i have all that installed for some reason it will not see it. the others say something like stream not handled or don't have plug in
[23:00] <Cpudan80> Slart: its alt not shift
[23:00] <Slart> Cpudan80: ah.. my bad
[23:00] <Cpudan80> np
[23:00] <skinofstars1> voice5sur5: err, splashtop
[23:00] <gartral> Cpudan80: even diallowing the window manager to controll the vlc window, and as i said, its with *all* video players
[23:00] <dik> sebsebseb, is the general drift of the msgs
[23:00] <Slart> Cpudan80: it looks like he found the right button anyways =)
[23:01] <Cpudan80> Slart: that it does
[23:01] <voice5sur5> skinofstars1, i can install it mon my laptop?
[23:01] <sebsebseb> albacker: visual basic sucks according to many people,  including the guy that got me all into opensource in the first place  and now studys Computer Science at one of the best universities in the world.    anyway   VBA alternative properly not, but Microsoft Office  2003 and 2007  most of it, works quite well under Wine.
[23:01] <Cpudan80> gartral: hmmmmmmm how much video ram does ubuntu see?
[23:01] <gartral> Cpudan80: however, its been playing 7 minutes straight with your suggestion of switching output engines, maybe the "defualt" was what was doing it
[23:01] <voice5sur5> skinofstars1,
[23:01] <gartral> Cpudan80: how do i tell?
[23:01] <skinofstars1> voice5sur5: err, no. it comes hardwired into asus stuff. as far as i remember the best you'll get is a fast loader
[23:02] <sebsebseb> albacker: probably no alternative to VBA unless Open Office  has something say.   if I am correct it can also be the thing for macros?
[23:02] <Krell> cipherZen, all i seem to find in a google search is about installing the restricted drivers :/ and i have done most all of them they now all tell me that is it already installed
[23:02] <voice5sur5> what is a loader?
[23:02] <sladen> elli222: cat image > /dev/fb0
[23:02] <voice5sur5> like grub?
[23:02] <skinofstars1> voice5sur5: how fast do you want it to boot?
[23:02] <dik> BRB
[23:02] <albacker> sebsebseb, i need it for school and im not going to debate with you if it suck or not. and yes it's the thing for macros.
[23:03] <voice5sur5> i want an instant one like 10 seconds just to get to the web
[23:03] <Cpudan80> gartral: ehh I thought glxinfo would tell you ... but apparently it does not ...
[23:03] <sebsebseb> albacker: Open Office can do Micorsoft Word macros  I think
[23:03] <arussel> where/how can I find information about my mouse pad ? (I have a Sony Vaio VGN-FW21M)
[23:03] <sebsebseb> albacker: also you can get  VBA running  nicely under Wine I expect
[23:04] <albacker> sebsebseb, ok thanks.
[23:04] <rreyes> Hi all... is there any reason why ubuntu fonts appear on screen with some characters closer then other?
[23:04] <skinofstars1> voice5sur5: hmm, have you asked google?
[23:04] <voice5sur5> yup
[23:04] <voice5sur5> skinofstars1, i found it in the hardware
[23:04] <voice5sur5> in asus
[23:04] <voice5sur5> but i want one on my lappi
[23:04] <tacosarecool> I disable the keyring
[23:04] <tacosarecool> This crazyness should stop now
[23:04] <skinofstars1> voice5sur5: you could look at vector or wolvix
[23:05] <voice5sur5> ok\
[23:05] <ahlala> o
[23:05] <gartral> well, looking at the nvidia xserver settins window, it does report 64mb gfx card
[23:05] <skinofstars1> voice5sur5: they are all gonna get faster soon though, especially after that 5second fedora demo
[23:05] <gartral> cpud` well, looking at the nvidia xserver settins window, it does report 64mb gfx card
[23:05] <Hfuy> Hello.
[23:05] <gartral> Cpudan80:  well, looking at the nvidia xserver settins window, it does report 64mb gfx card
[23:06] <voice5sur5> :O 5 sec
[23:06] <Hfuy> I spent a while a couple of days ago setting things up so a ubuntu laptop could print to my windows shared printer.
[23:06] <voice5sur5> i didn't heard about
[23:06] <s0101> my flash stoped working, first time it happend and i have reinstalled it and enable in firefox but it dosent work
[23:06] <Hfuy> This all worked at the time, but in true linux fashion, since then, something has gone wrong, and I can't even ping the laptop anymore.
[23:06] <Hfuy> What's the standard checklist for "can't ping this machine" in ubuntu, if there is one?
[23:07] <skinofstars1> voice5sur5: google it, 5 sec fedora. it was a demo, really stripped out. there are instructions around for doing it with ubuntu. let me check my bookmarks
[23:07] <cipherZen> Krell, Kaffeine uses totem correct?
[23:07] <Cpudan80> gartral: ok thats good .... then
[23:07] <Akkernight> does "sudo apt-get install Skype" give me 64 bit version ?
[23:07] <fno> there is a 64 bit version?
[23:07] <Cpudan80> gartral: well if it works with the modified output setting for VLC, you basically have to go tell the other programs to use X11 or whatever output it is that you chose
[23:07] <Akkernight> fno, no idea...
[23:07] <Dante123> friend wants ubuntu, problem is that outlook express mail needs to be saved before she ditches windows.  What is the best way to go about backing up the outlook express main and attachments (pix)?
[23:07] <s0101> and i have also tried to disable and put back on the ad-ons
[23:08] <gartral> Cpudan80: setting it to use x11 video overlay seems too have totally fixed it
[23:08] <Cpudan80> hooray!
[23:08] <torstefan> I am ... displeased.. My sound just like.. went away. And I didn't do anything
[23:08] <Dante123> Dante123 installing ubuntu won't bring email over will it (like other windows settings?)
[23:08] <rreyes> Hi all... is there any reason why ubuntu fonts appear on screen with some characters closer then others?
[23:08] <Krell> cipherZen, i don't know how can i check?
[23:09] <gartral> torstefan: do you have multible sound cards?
[23:09] <cipherZen> Krell, try the last thing on this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=515067
[23:09] <Dante123> torstefan did you get a warning message or anything (lately I have been getting a notification window come up and say that it is falling back to default audio)
[23:09] <cipherZen> sudo apt-get install totem-xine libxine1 libxine1-ffmpeg libxine-extracodecs
[23:09] <cipherZen> just to make sure everything is installed
[23:09] <Slart> rreyes: is it the same with all fonts? all sizes? or just some?
[23:09] <Slart> rreyes: have you tried adjusting the font settings?
[23:09] <torstefan> I have an inboared, but that is disabled in bios
[23:09] <torstefan> I have an augigy

[23:10] <sim_kharkov> hm...
[23:10] <wolter> Which svn client can you recommend me?
[23:10] <rreyes> Slart: it happens mostly with Firefox pages
[23:10] <gartral> torstefan: i remember having issues with bios-disabled hardware and ubuntu ignoring it and using it anyway, you might have hit that
[23:10] <Slart> rreyes: try playing with the settings in system, preferences, appearance, fonts
[23:11] <Time`s_Witness> any newbie guide to get initiated with ubuntu with the important usefull stuff like getting network to work, and how/where to get the real (non-generic) drivers?

[23:12] <skinofstars1> voice5sur5: yeah
[23:13] <skinofstars1> voice5sur5: you could probably get to command line quicker, then use lynx?!?!
[23:13] <rreyes> Slart: I already did. Fonts outside FF seem ok. For example, look at the comments in this page: http://blog.wired.com/business/2009/03/googles-data-cu.html

[23:13] <Hfuy> So, uh. Ubuntu laptop. Not responding to pings.
[23:13] <Hfuy> Can get online, so the wifi is working.

[23:14] <voice5sur5> i have ubuntu already installed
[23:14] <voice5sur5> skinofstars1,
[23:14] <deizel-webbook> can you guys help convince me to install ubuntu on this netbook?
[23:14] <Time`s_Witness> thanks oCean_
[23:14] <voice5sur5> deizel-webbook, yes
[23:14] <voice5sur5> deizel-webbook, just install it and then we will talk
[23:14] <oCean_> Time`s_Witness: it's not *all* in there, but it's a decent start
[23:14] <voice5sur5> :)
[23:14] <deizel-webbook> :)
[23:15] <Slart> rreyes: this is what it looks like on my screen http://imagebin.ca/view/GWiGjRu.html
[23:15] <voice5sur5> skinofstars1, what about my terminal ?
[23:15] <Krell> cipherZen, sorry guess the bot didn't like that :)
[23:15] <Time`s_Witness> i cant take it all in a row anyway, not being used to any non-windows OS anyway ;)
[23:15] <Hfuy> deizel-webbook: Unless you have a specifically modified version of ubuntu that has been designed to work on the hardware, I can't recommend it.
[23:15] <deizel-webbook> voice5sur5: i have a 16gb usb drive.. i wish to install from this
[23:15] <rreyes> Slart: No image was uploaded
[23:15] <torstefan> Can I haz audio, plz? :/
[23:16] <skinofstars1> voice5sur5: perhaps just set it to not boot into gdm straight away
[23:16] <voice5sur5> skinofstars1, how/?
[23:16] <Slart> rreyes: sorry.. hang on.. let me find somewhere else to paste my screenshot
[23:16] <dik> BACK after trying to get sense out of  terminal
[23:16] <voice5sur5> deizel-webbook, use the live CD
[23:16] <rreyes> Slart: thanks. Ill wait

[23:17] <deizel-webbook> Hfuy: i was thinking that, but as i got this free it came with xp.. are you suggesting that the current intrepid install might be too bloated (like vista/osx) for this netbook?
[23:18] <dik> does anyone know What  (111 Connection refused) this code means? apart from the obvious:-)
[23:18] <Slart> rreyes: there it is http://imagebin.ca/view/G0qsHX.html
[23:19] <dik> and, how can i chat, when I can't browse?
[23:19] <Hfuy> deizel-webbook: It depends what you want it for.
[23:19] <_VIM_> deizel-webbook: by default most linux distros are NOT bloated like vista/osx, I dont' know why or where you got that idea, quite the opposite in fact...
[23:19] <Hfuy> If it's a hobby project fine.
[23:19] <_VIM_> Hfuy: go troll elsewhere
[23:19] <Hfuy> _VIM_: Default ubuntu installs are five plus gig; it's bigger than XP, certainly.
[23:20] <skinofstars1> voice5sur5: if you really want just a striped down distro for quick use then think about arch with a light window manager, like fluxbox. whats best for your abilities is really for you to research
[23:20] <deizel-webbook> voice5sur5: i wish to have a native linux install... i hve played with dualboots and virtual versions for years, but this webbook isnt my primary computer so i could actually /use/ linux on it
[23:20] <Hfuy> It depends what you want to do with it.
[23:20] <_VIM_> Hfuy: if you dont like linux, then why are you here other than talking bad about it?
[23:20] <Hfuy> If you need it to just be a netbook and send email and so forth, just stick XP on it and call it a day.

[23:20] <Hfuy> If you want to play around with it and see what you can do, put ubuntu on it.
[23:21] <Goldwing> Hfuy : ubuntu server (ok, doesn't have X11).. less then 800mb
[23:21] <torstefan> Unknown? What dosen't it know?
[23:21] <skinofstars1> Hfuy: disagree, ubunt on my eee is just fine and dandy
[23:21] <Hfuy> skinofstars1: That's because there's Ubuntu-Eee, a specific modification for the ee.
[23:21] <oCean_> Hfuy: don't tell lies
[23:21] <Hfuy> That's what we're using, and it's OK.
[23:21] <_VIM_> i hardly call 5 gigs "bloated" , 5 gigs is nothing in the day and age of 1 tb hdd's
[23:21] <voice5sur5> skinofstars1, do you have a laptop>?
[23:21] <rreyes> Slart: Look at mine http://imagebin.ca/view/TS-cF1X.html
[23:21] <skinofstars1> Hfuy: i'm using intrepid
[23:21] <voice5sur5> what is the advantage of a eeepc?
[23:22] <_VIM_> voice5sur5: it's low cost
[23:22] <skinofstars1> voice5sur5: yeah, an eeepc
[23:22] <Goldwing> voice5sur5 : well, for one, it's cool
[23:22] <Goldwing> *proud owner of a 1000h)
[23:22] <voice5sur5> how much it cost
[23:22] <skinofstars1> 901 - mmm, 8hrs battery
[23:22] <Slart> rreyes: have you tried installing the microsoft fonts package?
[23:22] <Krell> cipherZen, :( well anyway  that didn't change it i  am looking at some post but so far i have not found anything
[23:22] <Slart> !fonts | rreyes
[23:22] <voice5sur5> what is 901?
[23:22] <Hfuy> skinofstars1: That's exactly what we have here, it's a 901.
[23:22] <Hfuy> An Eee-PC 901.
[23:23] <Hfuy> 10 inch screen, huge battery life. The sweet spot of netbook performance.
[23:23] <gartral> how do i edit dragon players settings?
[23:23] <voice5sur5> everybody have an eeepc :(
[23:23] <voice5sur5> how much it cost
[23:23] <Hfuy> It's not mine. I wish I had one.
[23:23] <sebsebseb> gartral: dragon player heh. why not  just use Banshee :)
[23:23] <skinofstars1> Hfuy: and you wouldn't recommend vanilla ubuntu for it?
[23:23] <sebsebseb> gartral: your on 8.10 yeah?
[23:23] <Hfuy> 901? About UK£250-300?
[23:23] <Goldwing> voice5sur5 less then 350 at best buy
[23:23] <Slart> !ot
[23:23] <c_korn> is there a way to automatically install the build-depends when inside a chroot?
[23:23] <_VIM_> $350 in the US, there abouts
[23:23] <Hfuy> skinofstars1: We put Ubuntu-Eee on it, and most of the hardware Just Worked.
[23:23] <nosa> hi im looking for the person who helped me with configureing my obot laodr earler
[23:23] <voice5sur5> Goldwing, but its almost cripled
[23:24] <gartral> sebsebseb: yah, and i like dragon player cause it DOESNT come from novell
[23:24] <Hfuy> This is, let's face it, pretty unusual on linux in general, but on a laptop, it's unheard of.
[23:24] <Goldwing> voice5sur5 : why?
[23:24] <sebsebseb> nosa: ok it wasn't me, but  maybe I can help with this
[23:24] <skinofstars1> Hfuy: you could have just used the array.org kernel
[23:24] <nosa> ok
[23:24] <voice5sur5> 1 ghz processor
[23:24] <cipherZen> Krell: :( that's sad, i'll keep looking through some posts as well. might try bumping one of them to see if anyone in there can help you
[23:24] <sebsebseb> nosa: what are you trying to do with Grub?
[23:24] <nosa> umm
[23:24] <Goldwing> 1.6 ghz
[23:24] <Hfuy> skinofstars1: Never heard of it.
[23:24] <RenardP> has anyone installed Ubuntu 8.10 on a Mac Pro with Intel processor ? any problems ?
[23:24] <voice5sur5> 256 ram
[23:24] <Goldwing> 1gb ram
[23:24] <gartral> sebsebseb: i hate microsoft and any corp willing to affiliate itself with them
[23:24] <voice5sur5> Goldwing, :O
[23:24] <sebsebseb> gartral: ah ha I see, you know that Banshee has Mono behind it :D
[23:24] <voice5sur5> small screen :)
[23:24] <sebsebseb> gartral: and what Mono is
[23:24] <skinofstars1> Hfuy: sheeeet, my other laptop, gateway, worked just fine. everything worked first time
[23:25] <Goldwing> a default EEE is 1.6 atom, with 1gb ram and 160gb hd
[23:25] <sebsebseb> gartral: indeed at that, but it's still great software
[23:25] <Goldwing> 10.2 inch
[23:25] <sebsebseb> gartral: Banshee
[23:25] <Hfuy> What's best about this eee is that it runs compiz nicely, which is downright impressive given the hardware.
[23:25] <Krell> cipherZen, bumping?
[23:25] <voice5sur5> Goldwing, is the hd ssd?
[23:25] <gartral> yes, also, banshee is directly designed and distributed by novell
[23:25] <Hfuy> You can do the cube desktop and everything.
[23:25] <Hfuy> Pointless of course but a nice eyecatcher :)
[23:25] <Goldwing> 160gb ssd??? uhmm... i wished
[23:25] <sebsebseb> gartral: yeah the  apparant 234/5  patent voilations :D
[23:26] <Goldwing> the 901's have a 16gb ssd i believe
[23:26] <cipherZen> Krell, yeah, just go on the forums and post that you've followed their instructions and that you're still having issues with the same thing
[23:26] <oCean_> !ot | Hfuy Goldwing voice5sur5
[23:26] <nosa> sebsebseb:  i want to make the boot loader hidden unless i press the esc key i alredy am root and have menu.lst open i see something about hidden menu what value do i need to add?
[23:26] <Akkernight> Does Teamspeak and Ventrilo work for Ubuntu?
[23:26] <nosa> thanks for the help
[23:26] <nosa> in advaced
[23:26] <voice5sur5> ubottu we are talking about installing ubuntu on eeepc :)
[23:26] <Slart> Akkernight: teamspeak does.. but I think it uses oss or something like that
[23:26] <sebsebseb> nosa: not sure sorry
[23:26] <hans-rudolf> akkernight:ts works
[23:26] <nosa> ok
[23:26] <unko> HEY all, join my channel #theme's i just started it. it's a general chat about eachothers themes and setups. we will share screenshots, compiz tips, and just overall pimp'in out ubuntu!!
[23:26] <sebsebseb> nosa: altough
[23:26] <Krell> cipherZen, well i'll keep looking
[23:26] <nosa> :)
[23:27] <sebsebseb> nosa: the grub config file that's where you would change stuff yes
[23:27] <voice5sur5> ubottu you are intelligent
[23:27] <Hfuy> However as I say...
[23:27] <sebsebseb> nosa: and get rid of the #  to uncomment things
[23:27] <gartral> sebsebseb: i also removed it, cause it deleted ha;lf my audio (anything it didnt recognise as audio, it just deletes, without asking, and that ticked me off, i had to re encode 40 cds
[23:27] <Hfuy> I have problems with networking right now.
[23:27] <_dbd_l12> nosa: change the line with timeout to 0 seconds
[23:27] <_VIM_> Akkernight: from what ive heard TS does, vent has been working on a client for 4+ years, but got no where with it, some people claim to have gotten TS working in wine, but it's not an easy 'hack'
[23:27] <cipherZen> cool, good luck Krell. dinner time, i'll catch ya later
[23:27] <sebsebseb> _dbd_l12: well then Grub won't be there at all?
[23:27] <nosa> _dbd_l12:  can i press esc and still get to chose that way?
[23:27] <_VIM_> not TS i meant Vent
[23:28] <_VIM_> there's a native client for TS Akkernight
[23:28] <Goldwing> but still, what's better, bridging to masqerading for joining 2 networks? (1st network -> win2k3 server -> inet <- ubuntu vpn client <- second network) all traffic has to be possible both ways, and the 2k3 is the main DNS and DHCP server
[23:28] <Akkernight> hmm... I guess MIME is the Gaming VoIP for Ubuntu?
[23:28] <dik> sebsebseb,  I don't understand how I can chat, but get refused connections when trying to FTP or browse, & I still don't get the '111' code? Is there ..,ah... I know
[23:28] <_dbd_l12> nosa: no, than you'd need to uncomment (remove #) the hidden menu option. Keep the timeout at for example 3 seconds
[23:28] <dik> !111
[23:28] <Goldwing> both networks have there own gateways
[23:28] <rreyes> Slart: Thank you so much. Now it looks much better.
[23:28] <dik> Doh!
[23:28] <sebsebseb> gartral: ha I guess your using  the  correct OS then :D    what some people say,  Linux is for Windows haters,  and BSD is for Unix lovers.   however thing is Linux has better  driver suppourt and that
[23:29] <Slart> rreyes: ah.. good
[23:29] <gartral> dang it, 10 minutes into The Matrix, the green scan lines hit me again!
[23:29] <Slart> rreyes: you're welcome
[23:29] <nosa> _dbd_l12: what is this ##hidden menu section i see directly under the timeout section for?
[23:29] <eric_> #join efnet
[23:30] <nosa> ## hiddenmenu
[23:30] <nosa> # Hides the menu by default (press ESC to see the menu)
[23:30] <nosa> #hiddenmenu
[23:30] <sebsebseb> nosa | pastebin
[23:30] <dik> #theme's
[23:30] <sebsebseb> !pastebin | nosa
[23:30] <_dbd_l12> nosa: it's a 'comment' describing the details of the option underneath it. Options routinely only have one # sign for them and have descriptive, short names

[23:30] <dusty__> Hey guys if I want to setup a ubuntu 8.10 box as a home made router I how do I share the connection with other computers plugged into the switch.

[23:31] <eper3z> hey, how do i install 1920x1200 on my old laptop using intel drivers?
[23:31] <nosa> _dbd_l12:  because then i could set the time out for 3 sec

[23:32] <cypher1> i am having problems with firefox flash player playing audio through usb speaker.. the same with vlc is perfectly fine. i am using pulseaudio
[23:32] <_dbd_l12> nosa: yes, this is the option you are looking for
[23:33] <nosa> _dbd_l12:  so do i just put a value of 1 under the bottem option?
[23:33] <nosa> line i mean
[23:34] <_dbd_l12> nosa: no just remove the # from the line so it says "hiddenmenu" instead of "#hiddenmenu"

[23:35] <nosa> _dbd_l12:  :)
[23:35] <Hfuy> Still trying to solve a problem with networking XP to Ubuntu. The Ubuntu laptop can see the internet, the XP box can see the internet, both via the same hub - so things appear to be working. But they can't ping one another.
[23:35] <nosa> brb
[23:35] <Hasanibrahim> or which copiler do you suggest ?
[23:35] <gartral> Cpudan80: how do i normalize the video output so it isnt choppy?
[23:35] <Hasanibrahim> Hfuy: it's about vbox preferences
[23:35] <cypher1> Hfuy, are they on the same subnet ?
[23:35] <dik> !compile c
[23:36] <_dbd_l12> Hasanibrahim: you probably have gcc installed with your ubuntu install (e.g. gcc 4.2 with ubuntu 8.04)
[23:36] <Hasanibrahim> dik: i don't know where i must ask this.
[23:36] <AllEars> Hi guys, I have a bash command that gives colored output, I'd like to write this output to file (say html or rtf) whilest preserving the coloring (> doesn't), anyone know how i could achieve that?
[23:36] <arjun_> hey guys im about ot rip my hair out my scalp .... I just bought myself a really pathetic graphics card but apparently it has 256 meg ram .... but according to ubuntu it only has 128 ..... can anyone shed some light on the subject
[23:36] <Hasanibrahim> _dbd_l12: i installed gcc
[23:36] <dik> Hasanibrahim,  just trying...
[23:37] <tritium> Hasanibrahim: you should install build-essential for other things you may end up needing
[23:37] <Hasanibrahim> tritium: i installed
[23:37] <Hfuy> Hasanibrahim: What's vbox?
[23:37] <Hasanibrahim> it, too
[23:37] <marko-_--> !vbox
[23:37] <xtknight> arjun, where are you seeing 128
[23:37] <marko-_--> !vbox > Hfuy
[23:37] <Hfuy> A virtualiser?
[23:37] <Hfuy> What's that got to do with networking?!
[23:37] <_dbd_l12> type Hasanibrahim: you can check the gcc version your system is using by default by typing "ls -al /usr/bin/gcc" in a terminal. You can change a compiler with "export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.1" if you would like that compiler
[23:38] <marko-_--> Hfuy, don't know, i just saw you asking what is vbox
[23:38] <arjun_> xtknight: in vbox when I get to assign graphics memory to my virtual machine
[23:38] <Hfuy> marko-_--: Aha, I see.
[23:38] <Hfuy> I have an issue with networking, which worked previously.
[23:38] <xtknight> arjun, and how do you know that's not just a limitation of vbox?
[23:39] <_dbd_l12> Hasanibrahim: how the compile works depends on the program (read the compilation) notes but it is mostly (if all dependencies are configured) the following 3 steps: "./configure", then "make" and then "make install" in the source directory of the app. You may need sudo rights to do so
[23:39] <Hfuy> I've no idea about virtualisation, and I don't know how it's involved in networking.
[23:39] <gartral> Cpudan80: my video is really really choppy still, any ideas?
[23:39] <Akkernight> what is the transfer speed between partitions? I mean, not in detail, but like, faster - same - slower ? xP
[23:39] <oCean_> Hfuy: vbox has nothing to do with it, but the other question was valid - are the machines in the same subnet?
[23:39] <_dbd_l12> Hasanibrahim: but it depends on the program, really. What problem are you having?
[23:40] <charlesatlas> Anyone have experience installing the Omni printer driver for cups?
[23:40] <arjun_> xtknight: well thats what I thought aswell but when I pushed my graphics memory up to 128 it told me that Im using more than half my cards ram
[23:40] <Hasanibrahim> _dbd_l12: so thank you a lot
[23:40] <arjun_> and that Id murder my machine
[23:40] <xtknight> arjun, huhh..well anyway why does the VM need that much vram?
[23:40] <Hasanibrahim> i (now) understand
[23:41] <_dbd_l12> Hasanibrahim: no problem
[23:41] <arjun_> xtknight:  well cause im working with flex on xp ... its the only reason Im actually using vbox
[23:41] <Hasanibrahim> one of my friend use Vim and when he press F9, codes are compiling
[23:41] <Hasanibrahim> i couldn't find about this in google
[23:41] <Hasanibrahim> so i asked here
[23:41] <c_korn> any idea why I see a string untranslated in gnome-screenshot but when I look inside the po file it is translated?
[23:42] <ncfi1013_> i cant see my mouse cursor. what do i do
[23:42] <xtknight> arjun_, oh okay
[23:42] <arjun_> ncfi1013_:  press tab or alt :P

[23:52] <pptpnoob> ah yes thank you bigrigger lots of information here just needed the proper terminology
[23:52] <jlink> gartral: I burned the CD myself using the exact same linux command I used to burn my 32bit version, other than changing the filenames. This computer's Ubuntu was setup using the 32 bit cd
[23:52] <mchelen> aijnknknj, you can use cfdisk from command line, just make sure to save any files first
[23:52] <gartral> jlink: did you order that cd through shipit, or did you burn the iso yourself?
[23:52] <Slimmeh> Do I need a special type of blank disc to burn the .iso or will any work?
[23:52] <styol> how do i run a different window manager (ie: twm-kiosk] at boot up or as the session for a certain user?
[23:52] <jlink> gartral: And both CDs look in excellent condition, no scratches on either side, all shiny and such, etc
[23:53] <pptpnoob> Slimmeh what kind do you have
[23:53] <gartral> jlink, ok, try burning another one at slower speeds, if it fails, try installing a cd to a flashdrive and boot from that
[23:53] <arjun_> xtknight: mmmmm xorg.conf doesnt say anything about that
[23:53] <cappicard> damn it... flash keeps freezing up firefox!
[23:53] <jlink> gartral: I might just try the flash drive option. Do you have a link for doing that?
[23:53] <xtknight> arjun_,  sorry i mean  /var/log/Xorg.0.log    might have a video ram reading.  what graphics adapter tho
[23:54] <gartral> jlink, try burning a new cd first, as the flashdrive option takes forever
[23:54] <carl123> When i go to the Ubuntu menu after rebooting my computer. I click on Click on Install Ubuntu and Insert the driver CD and press enter (amd64)
[23:54] <jlink> gartral: greeaat. I hate burning all these CDs, but at least I have enough cup holders now
[23:54] <arjun_> xtknight: it just struck me is it possible that the fact that I have two seporate x screens mean that my card ram might have been shared between the two
[23:54] <aijnknknj> i got an error on my sda hard drive when i tried right clicking on it to mount itcould not mount device the reported error was mount I could not determine the fils]]le systej]\\\m type and none was p\specified
[23:54] <Deevz> whats the command to see the content of a dir?
[23:55] <xtknight> arjun_, hmm well good thinking but i  dont think this would be the case
[23:55] <xtknight> i don't know, either way
[23:55] <xtknight> try with 1 screen..
[23:55] <gartral> jlink: i went through 55 cds the first time, cause the xp burner sucked, and i forgot to extract the iso the first 10 times
[23:55] <bigrigger> cappicard: are you running a x86_64?
[23:55] <cappicard> yes
[23:55] <carl123> When i go to the Ubuntu menu after rebooting my computer. I click on Click on Install Ubuntu and Insert the driver CD and press enter (amd64)
[23:55] <cappicard> amd64
[23:55] <oCean_> Deevz: "ls -al /path/to/dir" or, for current directory: "ls -al"
[23:55] <bigrigger> cappicard: this site does wonders, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/install-flash-10-ubuntu-linux-64bit.html
[23:56] <carl123> !amd64
[23:56] <bigrigger> cappicard: run the script it supplies
[23:56] <cappicard> ah ok. i see it
[23:56] <gartral> jlink: if you really would rather skip the next cd, go into System>Administration>Create a USB Startup Disk
[23:56] <arjun_> xtknight: ok well im just quickly checking that file
[23:56] <jlink> gartral: I think I'm going to try one other thing. The computer I'm installing it on was freshly built earlier today, and this is the first thing I've tried doing. I'm gonna install Ubuntu 32bit on the computer and see if everything goes through fine, just to double check that it's not a hardware issue
[23:57] <jlink> gartral: k, I'll try that
[23:57] <gartral> jlink, are you trying to use a raid?
[23:57] <jlink> gartral: Nope. One single HD
[23:57] <gartral> ok, cause raids can cause problems
[23:57] <styol> "Run twm-kiosk as you would any windowmanager. xinit /path/to/twm-kiosk -- : 0 " mean anything to anyone? when i run it it says Bad display name, exiting.. likely because the current display is already in use? this is in regards to starting a different window manager
[23:58] <jlink> gartral: Thanks for the ideas. I've got a few more things to try now. I might be back
[23:58] <gartral> jlink, good luck, im leaving the room
[23:58] <jlink> cya
[23:58] <Deevz> I am trying to change dir to my desktop but it says no such file or directory... what am I doing wrong? "cd /home/deevz/desktop"
[23:58] <styol> Deevz its a capital D for Desktop
[23:58] <Ax3> Desktop != desktop
[23:58] <arjun_> xtknight: can I please post the content of the file some where for you to go through
[23:58] <Ax3> type it correctly
[23:58] <xtknight> arjun_, sure on pastebin
[23:58] <arjun_> ok cool
[23:59] <Deevz> that worked, thx
[23:59] <Ax3> lol...
