[00:01] <arjun_> xtknight: http://pastebin.com/m203b6bf9
[00:02] <Ax3> oh wait... where am I.... *looks around*
[00:02] <arjun_> xtknight: I just retyped that hope theres no mistakes
[00:02] <johnyb1> I have almost 80 client and now I must every contact him .....etc
[00:02] <johnyb1> uf
[00:02] <xtknight> arjun_, okay what does nvidia-settings say
[00:02] <johnyb1> please if we can something
[00:02] <arjun_> xtknight: Ill check quick
[00:02] <Ax3> johnyb1, what language do you speak natively?
[00:03] <johnyb1> why?
[00:03] <cappicard> bigrigger: didn't work. i'm now getting a white rectangle where the flash applet normally appears
[00:03] <johnyb1> I understend you no prob if you can help me
[00:03] <Ax3> because I feel like you're having issues communicating, there might be an ubuntu channel for you.
[00:03] <bigrigger> cappicard: did you re-start FF
[00:03] <cappicard> yes
[00:03] <johnyb1> no small number person in my chanell
[00:03] <johnyb1> you have some msn
[00:04] <jlink> Well, fking sweet. I've tried booting Ubuntu 8.10 32bit and 64bit from the live CD, both are locking up on the Ubuntu load screen (with the orange bar that goes back and forth). Anyone have any ideas as to what kind of hardware issues could cause it to lockup during loading, that doesn't lock up when running MemTest86+ for half an hour?
[00:04] <couillard45682> is anybody tha have a dual gpu laptop?
[00:04] <bigrigger> cappicard: any other add-ons in FF? they can cause problems
[00:04] <arjun_> xtknight: LOL well as far as I can see it seems its got 512 mb :P
[00:04] <couillard45682> i have my problem with using both
[00:04] <xtknight> arjun_, :o weird
[00:04] <couillard45682> without reinstalling driver at each time
[00:04] <bigrigger> cappicard: it worked like a charm for me
[00:04] <johnyb1> ok how I disconect him vnet conection from me
[00:04] <xtknight> arjun_, i guess file a bug against virtualbox
[00:04] <arjun_> mmmm ok
[00:04] <Ax3> !language | jlink
[00:05] <point6> jlink: you can change tty and see where it stops
[00:05] <_dbd_l12> jlink: if this a dvd-drive you're booting the disk from, try burning the iso to dvd instead of cd. i've had similar strange read errors (md5'ed the burned disc) on ubuntu server edition iso's in the past
[00:05] <johnyb1> point6 please more precisiosly
[00:05] <_dbd_l12> jilink: and then boot from dvd...
[00:06] <bigrigger> cappicard: do you see shockwave flash 10 in firefox, and no other shockwave?
[00:06] <Ax3> jlink: at boot, hit f6 and remove quiet from the boot to watch it load, if it's response, hit ctrl+alt f1, f2, etc to drop to a terminal and shift + pg up and pg dn, to scroll the output.
[00:06] <Ax3> responsive*
[00:06] <cappicard> let me try again
[00:06] <bigrigger> cappicard: in add-ons
[00:06] <jlink> _dbd_l12: It is a DVD drive, but the only DVD burner (and tower to accept the dvd burner, in that case) is in that computer, lol
[00:06] <point6> johnyb1: do you have anyting info on what is happening?
[00:06] <arjun_> xtknight:  my friend told me some time ago tha apparently with laptop graphics cards, the card actually steals ram of the actual physical ram on the computer ... and that sometimes you have to set this to be true.... do you know how this is done
[00:06] <tongueroo> hey all, i just installed ubuntu server on vmfusion here.. but the default terminal window size is really small... any ideas how to adjust that... ?
[00:06] <jlink> Ax3: I'll try that
[00:06] <arjun_> xtknight: or if this is true
[00:07] <xtknight> arjun_, sorry im not really sure.  i know it's true but not sure how to control it
[00:07] <xtknight> maybe vbox is only reporting actual vram or something
[00:07] <xtknight> it's called turbocache
[00:07] <jlink> You know... I wonder if I could stick a CD drive in there, install Ubuntu from that (hopefully it works), then put the DVD drive in after installation
[00:07] <Ax3> jlink, don't reboot unless you can't drop to a terminal
[00:07] <cappicard> i see shockwave flash 10.0 r22
[00:07] <_dbd_l12> jilink: change tty (ctrl+alt+1...7) to see where it stops, maybe try the "noacpi" or "all_generic_ide" or "no_dma" or boot options
[00:07] <arjun_> xtknight:  cool thanx for the help :)
[00:08] <Ax3> jlink, and there's little difference between the cd and dvd installations, did you verifty the md5 checksums of the .iso, prior to burning?
[00:08] <_dbd_l12> arjun_: if it is controllable, it will be controllable in your BIOS
[00:08] <gartral> jlink, try a flashdrive yet?
[00:08] <xtknight> arjun_, yup no problem
[00:09] <dik> That was WEIRD, with a capital WEIRD! I checked my router, & dis/re-connected, & got my browser back! Deep joy! i can sleep easy now!
[00:09] <bigrigger> cappicard: Is flashplugin-nonfree un-installed? the script should have one that, among other things.
[00:09] <arjun_> xtknight: thanx
[00:09] <cappicard> damn...  still got the white rectangle
[00:09] <tongueroo> i see a bunch of ... gnome-terminal --geometry=1024x768  .. references...
[00:09] <tongueroo> but i dont have gnome installed yet...
[00:09] <johnyb1> how I disconect vnet hack client  from my server
[00:09] <tongueroo> just have bare bones ubuntu install...
[00:10] <jlink> uno momento
[00:11] <bigrigger> cappicard: any errors in the script execution? did it get getlibs-all.deb?
[00:12] <BCM43> ekiga says that my acer aspire one web cam does not have compatible drivers for the video format. Cheese works find. Could somebody help me fix this?
[00:14] <jlink> Ax3: When exactly do I need to hit Ctrl+Alt F1, F2, etc to get a terminal?
[00:14] <Ax3> jlink, if the gui fails to load
[00:14] <BCM43> jlink, anytime after start
[00:15] <jlink> Ax3: Ah. I took out the quiet option, then pressed enter, then the load screen came up then froze, but nothing happens after CA F1,F2,etc
[00:15] <jlink> Ax3: I feel like a moron, lol. I'm usually good with this stuff, but not when I can't even get anything to boot
[00:16] <jlink> Wouldn't putting the CD burner I used to make the CD into my new computer work for installing it? Then I could switch it out when I'm done?
[00:17] <arjun_> xtknight: apparently vbox only allocates 128meg of vram :P
[00:17] <cappicard> bigrigger: it did get that file
[00:17] <Flannel> jlink: Yeah
[00:17] <xtknight> arjun_, ah
[00:17] <Ax3> jlink, ok so you took out quiet, it showed you the boot, scroll through ti
[00:17] <Ax3> jlink, tell us where it stopped
[00:17] <bigrigger> cappicard: did you execute the script as such:  sudo bash flash10_en.sh ? Have you tried other flash sites?
[00:18] <cappicard> yes. any flash site i go to, firefox freezes
[00:18] <jlink> Ax3: There are four lines of text: "                     ok", "Running /scripts/init-premount    ok", "Mounting root file system...", and "Running /scripts/casper-premount     ok"
[00:19] <bigrigger> cappicard: ps aux in a terminal, insure no other instances of FF are running
[00:19] <cappicard> none are running
[00:19] <jlink> Ax3: I don't have the ability to scroll up or down, either there aren't any more lines to scroll through, or it's completely frozen
[00:19] <Ax3> jlink, ok......... so any indication of it not finding something, or some sort of error? yes you do! shift+pgup/pgdn
[00:20] <jlink> Ax3: I tried that, lol. It's completely frozen.
[00:20] <anxiolytic> In Windowz there's hypertrm, what's the equivalent in Linux? to send data to a serial port
[00:20] <jlink> anxiolytic: Minicom
[00:20] <cavallacciocatti> ciao a tutti
[00:20] <Ax3> jlink, well that sucks a lot, bring me up to speed with what you _have_ tried
[00:20] <Rodrigo_Lopes> what is a better?? ekiga or skype???
[00:20] <cappicard> argh... this is very irritating
[00:21] <bigrigger> cappicard: do you see npviewer.bin in ps aux
[00:21] <anxiolytic> jlink: thanks. how can I do it without a 3rd party app? I guess issuing some commands on the device (/dev/abc)
[00:21] <miki4242> Rodrigo_Lopes: ekiga is free, so you can always make it better :-)
[00:21] <jlink> Ax3: lol, alright. I've tried booting from the live CD of a copy of Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop 32bit and 64bit. The 32bit CD is known to work, since I'm running it on this laptop
[00:22] <jlink> Ax3: I can also run Memtest86+ from the 64bit CD for at least 30 minutes, so we know it's doing *something* from the cd
[00:22] <cappicard> i killed that one process
[00:22] <miki4242> Rodrigo_Lopes: i mean: open source,
[00:22] <cappicard> still blank
[00:22] <bigrigger> cappicard: you need that
[00:22] <jlink> Ax3: Also, using the Test the CD function on either CD causes the same kind of freezing
[00:22] <Rodrigo_Lopes> miki4242, yes.. I love open source, but.. ekiga or skype has more users????
[00:23] <Rodrigo_Lopes> if ekiga is open source but dont have users, then for me, is useless
[00:23] <Rodrigo_Lopes> mikael79, if ekiga is open source but dont have users, then for me, is useless
[00:23] <Ax3> jlink, one moment while i read
[00:23] <miki4242> Rodrigo_Lopes: don't know exact numbers, but i guess skype has more users
[00:23] <Flannel> Rodrigo_Lopes: Ekiga is compatable with any H.323 compatable thing, which includes netmeeting, etc.
[00:24] <Ax3> jlink, did you verify the md5sum of the .iso prior to using the CD ?
[00:24] <Pinchiukas> Can somebody recommend a decent console bittorrent client? I've tried rTorrent and didn't really like it.
[00:24] <jlink> Ax3: No. How would I go about doing that
[00:24] <Ax3> jlink: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[00:24] <miki4242> Flannel: oops, spoke before my turn :(
[00:24] <jlink> Ax3: Thanks. Be back in a minute
[00:24] <Rodrigo_Lopes> Flannel, what you mean???? ekiga, is compatible wich skype:::
[00:24] <Ax3> jlink, you need to verify the integrity of the .iso, so we can narrow this down.
[00:25] <Rodrigo_Lopes> Flannel, what you mean???? ekiga, is compatible wich skype???
[00:25] <Flannel> Rodrigo_Lopes: No.  Skype uses a closed protocol, which only Skype can connect to.  Ekiga (and netmeeting, and some mac thing, along with others) all use the stardard protocol of H.323, which allows them to all communicate with each other.
[00:25] <Ax3> jlink, compare the hash you get with this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[00:26] <TimReichhart> can anybody tell me if I can tell if msmtp is working on my ubuntu server
[00:26] <hvgotcodes> if i have a video_ts file with a whole bunch of VOB files, how do i burn it to disk on ubuntu?
[00:26] <bruce89> !dvdburn
[00:26] <bigrigger> TimReichhart: netstat -tuap
[00:26] <militant> ok guys.  i have an ubuntu box on a dsl line.  i'm having some trouble with accessing it from the outside world, via both ssh and http.   the router has the machine dmz'd.  where would i look to make sure it's not the linux box that's refusing connections?
[00:27] <Rodrigo_Lopes> Flannel, hummm.... i think I understand now...
[00:27] <jlink> Ax3: Hashes match
[00:27] <magikid> Is there a configuration file for HAL and if so, where?
[00:27] <TimReichhart> ok i see its not started so how do I start it?
[00:27] <bigrigger> militant: sudo iptables -L on the dmz'd box
[00:27] <dercomputer> Does anyone know if 8.10 has any read/write power management issues with laptop hard drives?
[00:28] <Rodrigo_Lopes> Flannel, but for randon speak, is better skype, because more users....
[00:28] <ubuntu__> hello!
[00:28] <dercomputer> hi
[00:28] <_dbd_l12> militant: try running "netstat -an | grep 22" to see if it listening, log into your ssh server @ localhost, make sure your router config (port forwards) etc. works
[00:28] <ubuntu__> I've a very, very big problem and it would be very great if someone could help me
[00:28] <hvgotcodes> bruce89: ubottu didn't know
[00:28] <Rodrigo_Lopes> Flannel, its many windows users in skype.....
[00:28] <militant> bigrigger, did so, not sure i'm understanding the output.  the machine is 100% reachable from inside the lan
[00:28] <bruce89> hvgotcodes: so I see
[00:28] <Flannel> Rodrigo_Lopes: I have no idea how many people use skype vs h.323
[00:28] <Ax3> jlink, hmmm
[00:28] <hvgotcodes> bruce89: any other advice?
[00:29] <jlink> Ax3: Could a faulty video card cause an issue such as this?
[00:29] <bruce89> hvgotcodes: dvdauthor
[00:29] <aijnknknj> i have 2 hard hard drives mounted but it says that i cant write to them how do i get around this im using a knoppix cd
[00:29] <job> i installed a theme called Slickness-Black but in the Appearence Preferences I have a message "theme will not look as intended because GTK+ theme engine is not installed" I have installed a few GTk engine already but it seems there is one i am missing.  Anybody knows what GTK+ engine I need? Thanks
[00:29] <Ax3> jlink, no, we would at least see an indication of X crashing
[00:29] <hvgotcodes> bruce89: will brasero work?
[00:29] <Rodrigo_Lopes> maybe, exist more h.323.......but realy dont now... :p
[00:29] <ed1t> anybody know how can i install oracle xe on ubuntu?
[00:29] <Rodrigo_Lopes> Flannel, maybe, exist more h.323.......but realy dont now... :p
[00:29] <militant> _dbd_l12,  that's part of the trouble.  i'm unable to pin down whether it's my isp filtering incomings, or the router failing at port forwarding, or what
[00:29] <bruce89> hvgotcodes: AFAIK it needs dvdauthor
[00:29] <Ax3> jlink, do you have any other CD readers, can you swap the IDE channel on the mobo?
[00:29] <jlink> Ax3: Well, if the video card just locked up, would it still do that?
[00:29] <dundreary> hello
[00:30] <oCean_> ed1t: yes
[00:30] <jlink> Ax3: You mean swap CD drives?
[00:30] <dercomputer> Does anyone know if 8.10 has any read/write power management issues with laptop hard drives?
[00:30] <ubuntu__> today i tried to install arch linux as a second os to my kubuntu 8.10 desktop. while installing arch, i had to create a new partition. that was still working. then i installed arch and wanted to configure my kubuntu grub to support the newly installed arch. But for some reasons, neither Arch nor Kubuntu wasn't loading afterwards.
[00:30] <dundreary> anyone working on beagle board here?
[00:30] <oCean_> ed1t: read this http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/install/xe-on-kubuntu.html
[00:30] <Ax3> jlink, possibly swap channels
[00:30] <bigrigger> TimReichhart: see if it's in /etc/init.d/ if so sudo /etc/init.d/msmtp start  I don't know the program myself.
[00:30] <ed1t> oCean_: thx
[00:30] <jlink> Ax3: Alright, yeah. I've got several other Sata ports
[00:30] <oCean_> ed1t: works for me
[00:31] <ubuntu__> then i tried to correct it with arch in the konsole mode (the xserver isn't installed as default) and a few minutes ago i tried "fsck"
[00:31] <hvgotcodes> bruce89: thanx -- I don't need anything special to burn dual layer disks do i?
[00:31] <ed1t> oCean_: do u know whats the difference between oracle xe and paid one?
[00:31] <Rodrigo_Lopes> any now?? what is better..???? Skype or Ekiga?????
[00:31] <bruce89> hvgotcodes: don't think so
[00:31] <ubuntu__> now my hard disk is only displayed as one big partition without a filesystem set....
[00:31] <ubuntu__> i can't access the files on it anymore
[00:31] <dundreary> beagle board..anybody?
[00:31] <bruce89> !better | Rodrigo_Lopes
[00:31] <Ax3> jlink, it's a long shot, but i've had ports on my mobo crap out before
[00:31] <ubuntu__> is there any way to correct the problem to get my old kubuntu working again? :(
[00:32] <jlink> Ax3: I like longshots, especially when it takes 30 seconds to do
[00:32] <oCean_> ed1t: hmm.. not offhand. There is a link at OTN describing that of course. It's not so much that there are less features, but for fewer users (maybe 1 concurrent? - I'm really not sure there)
[00:32] <hvgotcodes> hmm how do i play VOB files?
[00:32] <Rodrigo_Lopes> ubottu, but I dont use ubuntu...
[00:33] <cappicard> i got it to work but the applet freezes as soon as i click into it
[00:33] <ed1t> oCean_: thx ill check it out
[00:33] <bruce89> hvgotcodes: they're just MPEG2 videos
[00:33] <cappicard> argh... and the browser froze up too!
[00:34] <hvgotcodes> bruce89:  ok -- where are the list of codecs?
[00:35] <bruce89> hvgotcodes: well, you'll likely need some extra packages
[00:35] <JeroenTB> ubuntu__:  can you sum up again in a private chat ? maybe i can help
[00:36] <Rodrigo_Lopes> what is a better distribuition???
[00:36] <jlink> Ax3: Alright. I switch CD and HD from Sata 1 and 2 to Sata 3 and 4, still locking up
[00:36] <Mextux> I want to learn how to install Sun's JRE without the use of Synaptic. Which one of these two files do I need to install?? jre-6u12-linux-i586.bin or j2re-1_4_2_19-linux-i586.bin ??
[00:36] <oCean_> Rodrigo_Lopes: This is the ubuntu technical support channel.
[00:37] <NOWAII> Can anybody help me to get my mic to work with Ventrilo(wine) please?
[00:37] <ubuntu__> JeroenTB: Well ok, how can i create i private chat here? :)
[00:37] <oCean_> Rodrigo_Lopes: If you have technical issues, feel free to ask here. Otherwise, join an offtopic channel
[00:37] <cotk> ubuntu__: Start a query with a user.
[00:37] <Rodrigo_Lopes> oCean_, yes.. but, you think is better is slackware, arch, ubuntu, debian
[00:38] <cappicard> hrmm... this is ridiculous!
[00:38] <Scunizi> NOWAII: I just looked at their site and it looks like they have a linux client.. why not try that?
[00:38] <oCean_> Rodrigo_Lopes: this is NOT the channel for that discussion
[00:38] <bigrigger> cappicard: try restarting X
[00:38] <schnauzer> Rodrigo_Lopes: Besides, the opinions here will likely be quite biased ;)
[00:38] <cotk> Scunizi: Ventrillo Linux client is highly unstable, to the point of unusability, IIRC.
[00:38] <NOWAII> Scunizi: Linux - In developmen
[00:38] <whip> Rodrigo_Lopes: no need to shout.. try another distro if not happy
[00:38] <bruce89> oCean_: not that any of them are as I found out
[00:38] <Scunizi> NOWAII: cotk yea.. I just saw that the client isn't much of anything.
[00:39] <cotk> NOWAII, is the microphone detected under regular linux?
[00:39] <NOWAII> cotk: yes
[00:39] <Rodrigo_Lopes> ok lest rephrase my question???
[00:39] <cotk> NOWAII: Are you using OSS or ALSA inside wine?
[00:39] <oCean_> bruce89: well, yeah. You can take that up with the ops in #ubuntu-ops of course..
[00:39] <Rodrigo_Lopes> what is better,?? slackware or ubuntu???
[00:39] <whip> !???
[00:39] <cotk> Rodrigo_Lopes, depends on your needs and experience.
[00:39] <bruce89> oCean_: I did
[00:39] <Scunizi> NOWAII: cotk I wonder if you could use mumble to connect to the same servers?
[00:40] <jlink> Ax3: Still there?
[00:40] <unop> Rodrigo_Lopes, that's a bit like asking which is better.. a mercedes or a BMW .. in a mercedes showroom :)
[00:40] <NOWAII> cotk: alsa is ticked
[00:40] <Ax3> my apologies jlink, timed out
[00:40] <Ax3> jlink, I just returned yea ;)
[00:40] <jlink> Ax3: Alright. I switch CD and HD from Sata 1 and 2 to Sata 3 and 4, still locking up
[00:40] <whip> Rodrigo_Lopes: just go back to win...
[00:40] <hvgotcodes> bruce89: the restricted extras?
[00:40] <magikid> Anyone know if or where a HAL configuration file is?
[00:40] <cotk> NOWAII: Okay. Hrm. Let me check something and get back to you. I had a similar issue.
[00:40] <schnauzer> whip: I don't think that is really the best solution...
[00:40] <Ax3> jlink, and you tested your memory modules as well.....
[00:41] <Ax3> jlink, man.... this is screwy....
[00:41] <NOWAII> cotk, ok thanks mate
[00:41] <bruce89> hvgotcodes: Totem should prompt for what it needs
[00:41] <jlink> Ax3: Well, Memtest86+ running for 30 minutes at one point, I'd assume they were
[00:41] <whip> schnauzer: that was supposed to be a joke..
[00:41] <Ax3> jlink, yea it's easy to get impatient, a full memtest can take 4~10 hours
[00:41] <bruce89> whip: jokes not allowed in #ubuntu
[00:41] <jlink> Ax3: My video card is getting rather hot though, but my stuff tends to run hot under Linux anyway, but still..
[00:42] <Rodrigo_Lopes> whip, I think win and ubuntu, is very close.. dont joke.. I think slackware is a true linux....
[00:42] <Ax3> gentoo > *
[00:42] <cotk> NOWAII: Okay, I am correct in assuming you are using ALSA both for your ubuntu distro and under wine? (You can check this by opening up volume controls and seeing what device it is set too.
[00:42] <Rodrigo_Lopes> whip, so long newbye
[00:42] <schnauzer> Rodrigo_Lopes: http://polishlinux.org/choose/comparison/
[00:42] <jlink> So much work to get my new Phenom X3 system up and going... my fastest computer build ye
[00:42] <NOWAII> cotk, yeah
[00:42] <Rodrigo_Lopes> Ax3, yes gento is good :)
[00:43] <whip> Rodrigo_Lopes: why dont you use sabayon then and stop f**king crying?
[00:43] <Ax3> jlink, and you're using an amd64 build?
[00:43] <schnauzer> whip: That was uncalled for...
[00:43] <jlink> Ax3: I'm running Memtest86+ right now. How long should it run until you consider it to be error free? 4-10 hours, or some number of tests
[00:43] <wildfish> hi all
[00:43] <jlink> Ax3: Yes. That's why I'm using an amd64 8.10 iso
[00:43] <wildfish> does linux require two primary partitions?
[00:43] <Flannel> jlink: it'll run forever if you let it.  As long as it gets through one test without errors, you're OK (if you have the time and want to be sure, go twice)
[00:43] <bruce89> wildfish: not as such
[00:44] <Rodrigo_Lopes> whip, I dont crying, im just talking..you punchme, callme winusers......
[00:44] <bruce89> wildfish: usually one / and one swap
[00:44] <Ax3> i'd let it get to the random data passes
[00:44] <Ax3> about 7~10 passes
[00:44] <aijnknknj> IS ntfs reading and wring dangerous on linux
[00:44] <ds_> '/join #oejlug
[00:44] <Ax3> writing strings of ones and zeroes is hardly a good test
[00:44] <aijnknknj> i tried mounting a drive to be read and write and it gave me a big warning]\\
[00:44] <schnauzer> aijnknknj: I've never had a problem, I think it's better than it used to be
[00:44] <jlink> Ax3: However, it wouldn't make sense for it not to run the 32bit version, and I'm 100% sure that an error message will come up saying the 64 bit isn't compatable if you try to run it on a non-compatable machine
[00:45] <jlink> Ax3: This is so wierd.
[00:45] <Ax3> jlink, it wouldn't give an error, it would work :)
[00:45] <virtx> hi
[00:45] <jlink> Ax3: If the video card was to get so hot that it just stops, does X give an error?
[00:45] <aijnknknj> im on knoppix 4.0 is that old
[00:45] <Ax3> jlink, yea it would holler at you, you'd see it
[00:45] <cotk> NOWAII: What does it currently say as your input device under Vent Options?
[00:46] <Ax3> jlink, humor me and try one more time to boot from the disc, hit f6 then wait there
[00:46] <schnauzer> aijnknknj: Perhaps this would be better suited to a knoppix channel?
[00:46] <oCean_> aijnknknj: well, it *is* knoppix, and not ubuntu, and this is the ubuntu channel
[00:46] <NOWAII> cotk, nothing, and i cant choose anything either
[00:46] <jlink> Ax3: Alright
[00:46] <aijnknknj> ok
[00:46] <virtx> why if i've enable all perms on comment content (page and story) in the site as non-registred user doesnt watch the comment?
[00:46] <Ax3> jlink, work fast, i need to leave in about 1:30 minutes :)
[00:46] <jlink> Ax3: Alright, the boot options are up
[00:46] <Ax3> what are the last 3 words?
[00:47] <virtx> opz
[00:47] <virtx> wrong chan
[00:47] <jlink> Ax3: "initrd=/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash --"
[00:47] <jlink> One space after the --
[00:47] <Ax3> jlink, remove quiet and splash --, just so that the end reads initrd=/casper/initrd.gz, if you did this b4, awesome, continue :)
[00:47] <Rodrigo_Lopes> what is a better game for linux?????????????
[00:47] <Flannel> !game | Rodrigo_Lopes
[00:47] <Flannel> !games | Rodrigo_Lopes
[00:48] <cotk> NOWAII: What type of mic is this? Internal/external and manufacturer if you have it.
[00:48] <jlink> Ax3: Alright, I'm trying it without quiet splash --
[00:48] <schnauzer> Rodrigo_Lopes: Windows games can also (sometimes) be run in Linux through WINE.
[00:48] <dhalsimm> hi, I'm looking for a copy manager for ubuntu so that I can pause, add, stop etc files in a copy queue. I found minicopier which isn't integrated with nautilus, and copymanager which I couldn't install. Do you know a decent one?
[00:48] <schnauzer> !wine | Rodrigo_Lopes
[00:48] <redvamp128> Rodrigo_Lopes:  A game that I like to play is Assault Cube - which if you have multiverse enabled it is in synaptic. (and it is native not wine)
[00:48] <jlink> Alright, it seems to be frozen again
[00:48] <Ax3> jlink, i have to run, try to catch any terminal output if you can
[00:49] <brandon_> how do i untar and ungzip a file?
[00:49] <Ax3> i have to pass the buck, sorry! :)
[00:49] <Ax3> good luck my friend :)
[00:49] <cotk> Rodrigo_Lopes, I am currently playing World of Warcraft and Nexuis through linux.
[00:49] <LjL> brandon_: from the console, "tar xf filename" will work
[00:49] <NOWAII> cotk, http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/6750244/c_1/1|cat_12108629|Computers+and+laptops|12108658/Trail/searchtext%3EMICROPHONE.htm
[00:49] <jlink> Alright people, who wants the buck? lol
[00:49] <brandon_> so tar xf eggdrop.tar.gz?
[00:49] <NOWAII> cotk. xD
[00:49] <Ax3> brandon_, tar xvfz eggdrop.tar.gz
[00:50] <LjL> brandon_: why would you use a tar.gz file to get Eggdrop? Eggdrop is in the official repositories.
[00:50] <LjL> !info eggdrop | brandon_
[00:50] <jlink> What's the thing that we can paste a whole bunch of text into, then copy and paste the resulting link into the chat?
[00:50] <usser> !pastebin
[00:50] <x-ip> where will be gnome2.26 out for ubuntu ?
[00:50] <usser> x-ip, its in jaunty
[00:51] <x-ip> useruser, can i use is at intrepid ?
[00:51] <thadeusb> Can anyone help me with a simple bash script?
[00:52] <cotk> NOWAII: Desktop/laptop, and are you plugging into a internal/external soundcard, or the built in ports?
[00:52] <usser> x-ip, if you are willing to compile it yourself, at your own risk etc. just wait for jaunty release in april
[00:52] <schnauzer> x-ip: I'd just wait a month, if I were you.
[00:52] <x-ip> i cant :S
[00:52] <x-ip> i'll upgrade to jaunty jackalope
[00:52] <NOWAII> cotk. desktop, pluggin it into the pink hole at the back :D
[00:53] <Jork> Hey guys, need a hand setting up a wireless account. Cant seem to figure it out.
[00:53] <jlink> Can a USB device or USB hub cause Ubuntu not to boot?
[00:53] <Flannel> x-ip: It's currently alpha software.  Just so you know.  And further support regarding Jaunty is in #ubuntu+1
[00:53] <schnauzer> x-ip: Best of luck
[00:53] <x-ip> ok Flannel :)
[00:53] <x-ip> thanks :)
[00:53] <jlink> It won't let me scroll up and down on this screen, but it froze when going through the USB devices/busses
[00:54] <usser> jlink, yes i've seen that happen with an external usb hdd
[00:54] <jlink> usser: Unfortunately, the only devices connected are a USB mouse and USB keyboard. There aren't three devices
[00:54] <jlink> usser: and it seems to be frozen when doing a fourth one
[00:54] <gerzel> Hey I'm looking for help with open vmserver and am attempting to install xp as a virtual machine.
[00:54] <jlink> usser: or third. I can't tell which one it's stuck on
[00:55] <cotk> NOWAII: Okay. you are just not making this easy, are you. Hrm. Have you tested the microphone on a linux app, do you have everything but ALSA checked on WINE, and are you running the latest wine?
[00:55] <usser> jlink, i'm not sure what you mean, can you elaborate. what third/fourth device?
[00:55] <Roasted> Is anybody running Ubuntu on an Optiplex 740?
[00:55] <jlink> Maybe I could move my devices around to different ports. Assuming its freezing when scanning each USB bus, maybe it's something plugged into one of them that's causing the problem, and by switching to different ports, I could see that it's freezing while scanning a different bus
[00:55] <usser> Roasted, i ran it on 745, 755
[00:56] <Roasted> usser - any issues?
[00:56] <usser> Roasted, on one 755 built in network card was flaky, turns out it was hardware malfunction, other than that it was fine
[00:56] <jlink> usser: I dont know. I see this line three times on the screen" ohci_hcd 0000:00:12.1: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number #, where # is 1, 2, and 3
[00:56] <Roasted> usser -  on the 745, do you happen to remember the BIOS version by any chance?
[00:57] <NOWAII> cotk, im sorry, im new to linux/ubuntu :(
[00:57] <usser> Roasted, A9 or something like that
[00:57] <Roasted> usser - I'm setting up an image server at work with the couple hundred Optiplex 740's we're goign to beg etting in, but the image software, FOG, isn't recognizing the Optiplex 740...
[00:57] <NOWAII> cotk, but when i say something i can hear it from the speakers.
[00:57] <usser> jlink, i dont know. sorry
[00:57] <jlink> :D Yeah.
[00:57] <Roasted> usser - I'm trying to figure out if this is an Ubuntu issue, since FOG is based on Ubuntu, or if it's FOG itself not picking it up. Unfortunately I'm home for the weekend and didn't grab the 740 to test it.
[00:58] <cotk> NOWAII: Not a problem, and that is good. Okay.  Go to http://www.winehq.org/download/deb and follow those instructions.
[00:58] <usser> Roasted, i wouldnt know much about fog, we just use ghost here
[00:58] <jlink> Wow, holy crap.
[00:59] <AnythingJe> Anybody else suffering from the new Warcraft 1.23 patch?
[00:59] <Roasted> usser - I'm trying to find a quicker way to do things. We have a hard drive cloner, but it only does 5 in 45 minutes. FOG is supposedly capable of 30 in a half hour via multicasting. Since we're getting in about 700 computers, the faster we can crank them out the better off we'll be.
[00:59] <jlink> Alright, I switched things to different usb ports (why would that cause it to freeze?), and now it's freezing on "ata1: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)", and "ata2: same stuff"
[00:59] <erUSUL> Roasted: have you taken a look at clonezilla ??
[00:59] <cotk> AnythingJe, Why, what did it do? (Used to play WIII religiously).
[00:59] <NOWAII> cotk, Yeah I have done thaat before/recently
[01:00] <Roasted> erUSUL - Oh yes. It took me 4 months to even get Clonezilla to push an image. And once it did, it messed up the master boot record. It took me 2 hours to get FOG fully functioning nad I've had great success with ALL computers I've imaged, EXCEPT the Optiplex 740 in question.
[01:00] <cappicard> got it working finally. had to reboot my system
[01:00] <AnythingJe> cotk: They just patched today... had to get offline version to upgrade, but now it is getting memory errors randomly and crashing.  Not fun.
[01:00] <erUSUL> Roasted: ok
[01:00] <Roasted> erUSUL - Have you used Clonezilla Server with any success?
[01:01] <erUSUL> Roasted: no; just know of its existence :P
[01:01] <cotk> NOWAII: Okay. First: For the hell of it, reboot and try again, keeping the microphone plugged in. Then, switch over to OSS and try it. After that, I'm blank for solutions. Vent should atleast kinda detect something.
[01:01] <jlink> When booting into Ubuntu, it's freezing, stopping at the line "ata2: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)". Any ideas?
[01:02] <usser> Roasted, use ghost with network clone. what we usually do is push out 10 images with multicast, and then those become masters and we 10 more machines to slaves, next pass around you'll have 20 masters etc... it grows exponentially. you'd clone 700 in probably a day
[01:02] <UncleD-> I am trying to call a bash script from another bash script, and in the 2nd script I have a command to call "service bind restart", however, it doesn't appear to be executing. Is there any way I can confirm that it is executing since its script1->script2?
[01:03] <NOWAII> cotk : when i switch to OSS should i untick alsa?
[01:03] <tesseracter> tilda...so...sexy...
[01:03] <Jork> can anyone help? having trouble with my wi-fi.
[01:03] <Roasted> usser - Yeah, FOG has that capability. But oh... it's free ;) See, this is a side project of mine. My boss doesn't know I'm messing with it in my spare time. Once we get the computers in, I want to try it. If it works, I'll ask to do things my way (since they're part of my project) and we'll run with it with FOG and see what happens.
[01:03] <chronic> is there plugin for any player to play m2ts?
[01:03] <unop> UncleD-,  start debugging in the first script with   set -x   # place this on the second line .. run the script and examine the output to see what bash is doing.
[01:04] <cotk> Yes. Then try with both ticked, for the pure sake of bruteforcing.
[01:04] <Roasted> usser - I wont be doing anything over the actual network. I have a 24 port gigabit switch I'll be using. So I'll hook up my laptop, acting as the FOG server, and push the image via multicast through the switch to 23 nodes at a time. Whiel they're imaging, I'll prep another 23, etc etc.
[01:04] <Roasted> usser - If things work the way I want them to, I'll have one heck of a great day... and a quick day at that... IF I can get the 740 working...
[01:05] <Diehardy> Hello peeps
[01:05] <selig5> exit
[01:05] <ywq_> Good morning, everyone
[01:05] <Jork> morning.
[01:05] <Diehardy> I need help with a beta version of Windows 7
[01:06] <JeroenTB> goodnight ;)
[01:06] <Diehardy> It's being a pain.
[01:06] <JeroenTB> Diehardy:  Windoze sucks
[01:06] <clsmith> Diehardy: Wrong room?
[01:06] <Diehardy> What room do I go?
[01:06] <ywq_> It's raining outside
[01:06] <JeroenTB> Diehardy: you run it in a vm on ubuntu ?
[01:06] <Ndshacker> How can I enable USB passthrough in Virtualbox OSE
[01:06] <gerzel> Anyone able to help me with using open vmware server?  I would like to set up a windows install using it.
[01:06] <Flannel> Diehardy: ##windows  You were already told that.
[01:06] <clsmith> Diehardy: One more about Windows 7 and less about Ubuntu? Assuming you're not talking about VMs in Ubuntu, etc.
[01:07] <Diehardy> No I dont run it with ubuntu
[01:07] <clsmith> Diehardy: Go to ##windows, like Flannel says.
[01:07] <JeroenTB> Diehardy: bye
[01:07] <Diehardy> those guys are useless
[01:07] <clsmith> Diehardy: Well, that sucks.
[01:07] <JeroenTB> gerzel: what's the problem with vmware-server ?
[01:08] <Flannel> Diehardy: If you can't get help for something not related to Ubuntu elsewhere, that doesn't mean you can come ask us.
[01:08] <NOWAII> cotk: i get this with only OSS ticked and ALSA+OSS ticked. : Failed to open input device. Another program might have it open already. rc = -10
[01:08] <JeroenTB> Diehardy: you are entitled to get support from microsoft ;)
[01:08] <gerzel> JeroenTB: I'm not sure on how to set it up.  I've got it installed from synaptic and got the xp disk with me but not really sure what to do next.   If you could help me or point me to a good webpage to try and figure things out that would be great
[01:09] <JeroenTB> gerzel: is it vmware-server 2 ?
[01:09] <JeroenTB> gerzel: vmware-server2 is managed by a webinterface
[01:09] <MarkJones> Can anyone tell me if it is easy to learn or if there is a place in Ubuntu that references or if there is an easy way to learn what I can type into the gstreamer pipeline in SOund Juicer for diiferent encoding options like format bitrate or quality modes etc? Or is it just stuff thats not realy understood its more of command just memorized that you use but not understand etc?
[01:09] <JeroenTB> gerzel: so you need to find out which port it is listening on
[01:10] <Flannel> MarkJones: man pages and their respective websites/otherdocumentation would be likely locations
[01:10] <gerzel> I've installed openvm-source, openvm-toolbox, and openvm-tools from the 8.10 repositories, not sure if it is 2 or not
[01:10] <gerzel> basic install from synaptic.
[01:10] <MarkJones> are man pages built into my Ubuntu install onmy hard drive?
[01:11] <JeroenTB> gerzel: openvm is not vmware-server
[01:11] <sprinkmeier> MarkJones, yes
[01:11] <JeroenTB> gerzel: i can't help you with that, i'm familiar with vmware's free products
[01:11] <clsmith> MarkJones: Open a terminal and type "man ---", with --- being the program you want to learn about.
[01:11] <Ndshacker> ﻿How can I enable USB passthrough in Virtualbox OSE
[01:11] <gerzel> Ah ok, where do I get and install the correct package?
[01:11] <MarkJones> ok cool
[01:12] <MarkJones> Ill try that
[01:12] <JeroenTB> MarkJones: /usr/share/man is where all manpages are
[01:12] <MarkJones> ok
[01:12] <gerzel> is it vmware-package?
[01:12] <JeroenTB> gerzel: i don't know if it is availlable in synaptic, let me check...
[01:12] <jlink> I'm having a terrible time getting Ubuntu installed. Anyone have any experience?
[01:12] <jimi_hendrix> how do i setup a printer
[01:12] <jimi_hendrix> in hardy
[01:12] <gerzel> Or do I have to dl from vm's site?
[01:12] <Ndshacker> plug it in
[01:12] <useruser> uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuubuntu
[01:12] <clsmith> jlink: You are in #ubuntu. I assume we do have experience of installing Ubuntu. ;)
[01:13] <Jork> when I dual boot XP and Ubuntu, do I have to 'allow' XP to use hardware from in Ubuntu?
[01:13] <melik> jlink,
[01:13] <ubuntu__> JeroenTB: Ok, here i am again :)
[01:13] <MarkJones> Ok sound juicer man page doesnt say anything about the gstreamer pipline and syntax etc.
[01:13] <melik> whats up, describe your problem
[01:13] <MarkJones> What manpage would have that?
[01:13] <JeroenTB> ubuntu__: so it worked ?
[01:13] <JeroenTB> great !
[01:13] <jlink> lol, I was just wanting to know if anyone was actually out there. No one was responding to me
[01:13] <ubuntu__> JeroenTB: hm now sorry
[01:13] <ubuntu__> JeroenTB: *no
[01:13] <JeroenTB> gerzel: go to www.vmware.com and download vmware-server
[01:13] <NOWAII> cotk: i get this with only OSS ticked and ALSA+OSS ticked. : Failed to open input device. Another program might have it open already. rc = -10
[01:13] <melik> jlink, im out here =)
[01:13] <Jork> yeah, I'm wondering if anyone can see what I'm saying? lol
[01:13] <clsmith> Jork: No, not if they're both installed to the hard disk (as opposed to being in a VM).
[01:14] <jlink> One moment, I'm confirming something on here
[01:14] <JeroenTB> gerzel: register, don't worry it's free, you get a serial via email
[01:14] <jimi_hendrix> how do i setup a printer in hardy, anyone?
[01:14] <cotk> NOWAII: Are you changing between OSS and ALSA in your volume control?
[01:14] <Jork> thanks for the reply. well im trying config wi-fi, and it wont work for some reason. Mind helping with a walk thru?
[01:15] <sprinkmeier> jimi_hendrix, USB? netowrk? have you tried just plugging it in?
[01:15] <NOWAII> cotk: no
[01:15] <jlink> Alright, here's what's going on. I'm trying to boot from the install CD without the "quiet splash -- " boot options, so I can see a text output of what's going on
[01:15] <Ndshacker> ﻿How can I enable USB passthrough in Virtualbox OSE
[01:15] <jlink> It's freezing at different points in the boot process every time I reboot and try again.
[01:15] <jimi_hendrix> sprinkmeier, network
[01:15] <cotk> NOWAII: Do it again, this time changing that as wel.
[01:16] <sprinkmeier> jimi_hendrix, system->admin->printing and FTBB. if it doesn't work check a HCL.
[01:16] <gerzel> kk doing so now
[01:16] <clsmith> Jork: Well, are you talking about from /within/ Windows?
[01:16] <Jork> no, I'm in ubuntu. It works from XP
[01:16] <clsmith> Jork: Okay. What have you done so far? (Anything?)
[01:17] <Jork> tried getting the SSID, and MAC and such, but no luck
[01:17] <Jork> i have my routers page open too, it's a linksys
[01:17] <clsmith> Jork: Have you checked the wireless device?
[01:17] <Jork> Yes, it has power and is working.
[01:18] <clsmith> <swaps to PMs>
[01:18] <ed1t_> i have a server running, is there a free version like lanscape which lets u manage your server from web interface?
[01:18] <Crooper> webmin
[01:18] <Ndshacker> ﻿How can I enable USB passthrough in Virtualbox OSE
[01:19] <ed1t_> Crooper: its in apt-get?
[01:19] <jlink> melik or clsmith: I guess it's nothing you can help with?
[01:19] <Crooper> i don't think so
[01:19] <clsmith> jlink: What are you having a problem with? Booting without those options?
[01:19] <Crooper> you can google it though
[01:19] <JeroenTB> gerzel: the vmware binary you download should not be an RPM !
[01:19] <JeroenTB> gerzel: i'll give you the link
[01:20] <gerzel> JeroenTB which version should I use the .tar for linux or the .tar for linux with 64 bit support.  I'm running a core2 quad core which claims to be 64 bit, and I think I used the 64bit install disk for ubuntu
[01:20] <poet> My wireless card (running on a restricted driver) no longer appears in lspci or in the restricted drivers section.  any suggestions on how to proceed ?
[01:20] <jimi_hendrix> sprinkmeier, ok i cant find my printer in the list of drivers
[01:20] <jimi_hendrix> HP LaserJet CM1312
[01:20] <jlink> clsmith: Hah, maybe I should reexplain the whole thing. I just built this new AMD64 computer. I downloaded and burnt the AMD64 8.10 Desktop iso. When I try to boot or install from the CD, it freezes during the Ubuntu splash screen. It also freezes when doing these things from my 32bit 8.10 CD, and that CD worked fine when installing it on this laptop.
[01:20] <melik> jlink, can you private message me
[01:21] <NOWAII> cotk: ok tried that, still get that message
[01:21] <melik> im multi tasking like crazy and cant read up
[01:21] <jlink> melik: How do you pm, exactly?
[01:21] <clsmith> melik: /msg user message
[01:21] <clsmith> *jlink
[01:21] <clsmith> (sorry ;)
[01:21] <JeroenTB> gerzel: open a terminal and type uname -a
[01:22] <Hortencia> I have looked at a lot of tutorials on getting my Bluetooth headset to run but a lot of them say that I need to enable the Audio Device box in bluetooth preferences......... but I don't have it. Anyone know how i can get it?
[01:22] <Ndshacker> ﻿How can I enable USB passthrough in Virtualbox OSE
[01:22] <cotk> NOWAII: As stated before, no clue then.
[01:22] <jlink> And how do I switch between the two windows?
[01:22] <JeroenTB> gerzel: paste the output
[01:22] <poet> My wireless card (running on a restricted driver) no longer appears in lspci or in the restricted drivers section.  any suggestions on how to proceed ?
[01:22] <sprinkmeier> jimi_hendrix, check the HCL, or try 'generic postscript', or maybe an earier model HP (safer than picking a later model :-)
[01:22] <jlink> nvm.

[01:22] <SlimeyPete> Ndshacker: I don't think you can. Isn't it a non-OSe feature?
[01:22] <NOWAII> cotk: Oh damn =[ thanks for trying anyway :P
[01:22] <JeroenTB> gerzel: yep that's 64 bit
[01:22] <jlink> militant: See, I don't have any others. I just built the computer earlier today
[01:22] <JeroenTB> gerzel: you need the 64 bit tar image
[01:22] <Ndshacker> well
[01:22] <gerzel> so 64 version, ok dling now
[01:22] <Ndshacker> someone said I could
[01:23] <jimi_hendrix> sprinkmeier, HCL?
[01:23] <militant> jlink, that's why i ask, a new machine that locks up on OS installs often comes down to hardware.  bad ram, bad video card, poor physical connections, etc
[01:23] <JeroenTB> gerzel: the TAR image not the RPM
[01:23] <sprinkmeier> !hcl | jimi_hendrix
[01:23] <gerzel> yikes 44 minutes...
[01:23] <FrozenFire> AMD64 doesn't require a special Ubuntu install CD, does it?
[01:23] <sprinkmeier> !print | jimi_hendrix
[01:23] <gerzel> ok, so once I get it fairly strait install?  ./configure make etc?
[01:23] <SlimeyPete> FrozenFire: i386 cd will work fine but there is also an amd64 cd
[01:24] <JeroenTB> FrozenFire: there are separate 64bit and 32bit images !
[01:24] <jlink> militant: I'm not exactly sure what it could be though. I've reseated all the cords, swapped the new DVD drive with an older CD drive, and that's about all I can think of doing
[01:24] <NOWAII> cotk: is there another app like wine to run vent on that might work with my mic?
[01:24] <jlink> militant: and I ran Memtest86+ for one full pass
[01:24] <poet> My wireless card (running on a restricted driver) no longer appears in lspci or in the restricted drivers section.  any suggestions on how to proceed ?
[01:24] <militant> jlink, are both discs causing lockup at the same rough stage?
[01:24] <guest_007> look, birds! http://www.kodiefiles.nl/assets_c/2009/03/kodiefiles.nl20.html
[01:24] <WatchBot1> guest_007, please keep your links on topic and work safe.
[01:24] <JeroenTB> gerzel: not really
[01:25] <guest_007> укк
[01:25] <JeroenTB> gerzel: easier maybe ;)
[01:25] <guest_007> okay
[01:25] <jimi_hendrix> sprinkmeier, ok its not in there...so is generic postscript worth a shot or should i go for an earlier version
[01:25] <gerzel> maybe?
[01:25] <jlink> militant: correct
[01:25] <gerzel> Is there an autoinstaller in there?
[01:25] <FrozenFire> SlimeyPete: Where can I find the AMD64 install DVD ISO? (Should've mentioned DVD before)
[01:25] <JeroenTB> gerzel: after untar there's a shell script you should run as root
[01:25] <gerzel> Jeroen: Ah ok.
[01:25] <Flannel> FrozenFire: cdimage.ubuntu.com
[01:26] <SlimeyPete> FrozenFire: you should just be able to get it from the main website
[01:26] <sprinkmeier> jimi_hendrix, I'd try both and see which one gives better results. You can even have both configured simultaneously.
[01:26] <JeroenTB> gerzel: don't know out of my head, been a while, but i remember it was easy to do.
[01:26] <militant> jlink, it could be that you need to try installer options, like not using the graphical installer or using barebones vesa video settings, and then tweaking after it installs
[01:26] <Ndshacker> how do I uninstall the OSE and install the PUEL
[01:26] <SlimeyPete> I'm afraid I'm unable to check where it is atm cos I am on a mobile phone :)
[01:26] <FrozenFire> Hrmm... I don't know whether I want to use the i386 install DVD, or the AMD64 one. AMD64 seems less supported, and I need a disc that I can give to a client.
[01:26] <gerzel> JeroenTB: Ok once it is installed then I should just be able to fire it up and figure things out more easilly?
[01:27] <SlimeyPete> Ndshacker: use synaptic to remove ose, then download the other one from vbox website
[01:27] <JeroenTB> gerzel: after installation when vmware seems to be running you can access it via http://localhost:8333 but it might be https instead of http
[01:27] <militant> i have an amd64 machine with a radeon card that the ubuntu installer locks up on.  once i install it the text mode way, it's fine
[01:27] <Flannel> FrozenFire: Its still fully supported.
[01:27] <SlimeyPete> FrozenFire: how much ram is in the system?
[01:27] <FrozenFire> SlimeyPete: Not sure. Haven't booted it yet. Not going to boot it until I have a Live DVD
[01:27] <JeroenTB> militant: i think the problem might be that the radeon driver is not 64bit
[01:28] <UncleD-> unop: you put the command "set -x" on the second line of the script?
[01:28] <SlimeyPete> FrozenFire: if it's got 3 gigs or less then i386 is the safe bet.
[01:28] <gerzel> kk so goto that site and it will explain what to do more or less?
[01:28] <unop> UncleD-,  yes, just after the shebang (if you have one)
[01:28] <FrozenFire> Yeah, I'll go with i386. She was mentioning RAM issues with Windows XP
[01:28] <militant> JeroenTB, that's my thought too.
[01:28] <alolai> spanish please
[01:28] <sheep> !es | alolai
[01:28] <JeroenTB> gerzel: both the install and the webpage will get you up n running pretty quick
[01:28] <Buttons6> can someone help me mount a device?
[01:29] <alolai> gracias
[01:29] <JeroenTB> militant: can't help you with that though, i don't run a 64 bit version, might try to force vesa driver
[01:29] <UncleD-> unop: ok i see what thats doing. thats a great useful command. years of shell scripting and i never knew that one.
[01:29] <Akkernight> how do I run a .run file in Linux?
[01:29] <Crooper> Buttons6, what are you trying to mount?
[01:29] <SlimeyPete> FrozenFire: if it's a low-ram system then xubuntu will work better, and fluxbuntu or crunchbang better still
[01:29] <gerzel> kk thanks now I'm gonna see about Rocky Horror with someone.  Thanks a lot for the help setting me strait
[01:29] <Buttons6> I am trying to mount a bricked Sansa e250, I used the command "dmesg" and looking though ther -
[01:29] <militant> JeroenTB, that's what i was suggesting to jlink.  i got mine to isntall fine, i was giving it as an example to him of a situation like his :)
[01:30] <JeroenTB> gerzel: gl
[01:30] <Buttons6> can I PM you croop?
[01:30] <jimi_hendrix> thanks all, my pritner works!
[01:30] <SlimeyPete> Akkernight: in terminal type ./myfile.run
[01:30] <Mobius2> :)
[01:30] <JeroenTB> militant: lol ok, sry
[01:30] <Crooper> yes
[01:30] <unop> UncleD-, it's specific to bash only (as far as i know) - not to POSIX shell (/bin/sh)
[01:31] <Mobius2> can anyone help me to see which devices are in use or available on my sound card?
[01:31] <Akkernight> slimeypete, well, it says "no such file ect" still, the file is on the desktop and that's where the terminal points to at default, right?
[01:31] <FrozenFire> SlimeyPete: This client is fairly computer illiterate, so I'd rather stick to the system I am very familiar with, so I can provide phone support.
[01:31] <JeroenTB> jimi_hendrix: are you really helped or where you ignored ?
[01:31] <Mobius2> I'm reading a tutorial on getting teampseak (non-ALSA native support) to symlink and force to play nice with others, but I want to see what devices are in use or available to see if I've done it right
[01:31] <Flannel> Akkernight: No, it's not.  It starts in your home directory (~), Desktop is a folder in your home dir (~/Desktop)
[01:31] <SlimeyPete> Akkernight: no. type 'cd Desktop' first
[01:32] <lanteau> Im trying to use my bluetooth headset, and I can get it to pair and connect using the headset profile using blueman, but its not creating an alsa device?
[01:32] <SlimeyPete> FrozenFire: fair enough :)
[01:32] <Akkernight> oh sorry, my computer is just called myname-desktop, confused me!
[01:32] <SlimeyPete> Akkernight: ah :)
[01:32] <jimi_hendrix> JeroenTB, really helped :)
[01:33] <JeroenTB> jimi_hendrix: ok, tc ;)
[01:34] <Akkernight> ok, when I type ./pdsetup.run I get "permission denied" when I type sudo ./pdsetup I get "no such command ect." ...
[01:34] <snooser> hi there. the wubi instalation is good? does it make partitions?
[01:34] <UncleD-> upon: I think I may have discovered a problem with your theory...
[01:34] <UncleD-> unop: the script I am executing is being executed by an "expect" call so its inside of an expect {}
[01:35] <prince_jammys> Akkernight: you're missing `.run'
[01:35] <sebsebseb> snooser: it does not make real partitions
[01:35] <Java_Head> snooser; thats right it's just a file in windows
[01:35] <gusfm> chmod +x pdsetup.run
[01:35] <sebsebseb> snooser: it puts Ubuntu inside  your Windows NTFS partition
[01:35] <sebsebseb> snooser: then gives you the Windows boot loader and Grub the Linux boot loader.
[01:35] <Akkernight> prince_jammys, no, sorry I just forgot to type it in IRC :S
[01:35] <sebsebseb> snooser: as a result I would only recommend wubi for trying Ubuntu if at all
[01:35] <unop> UncleD-,  ohh .. might want to ask the #tcl guys about that then.
[01:35] <prince_jammys> Akkernight: ah, then try chmod as recommended above
[01:36] <snooser> sebsebseb i want to use ubuntu in my laptop. that instalation is good or just for tying?
[01:36] <UncleD-> unop: http://pastie.org/422565
[01:36] <Akkernight> "chmod: cannot access `./pdsetup.run': No such file or directory" I'm in Desktop, where the file is placed
[01:36] <Mobius2> can anyone help me to analyze which devices on a sound card are in use or are currently available for use?
[01:36] <sebsebseb> snooser: well  could do wubi, or  just try the live cd,  or  do  Ubuntu inside Windows to try
[01:37] <gusfm> just, chmod +x pdsetup.run, without ./
[01:37] <kamekun> Hi,  how i can configure a bluetooh pin device?
[01:37] <snooser> sebsebseb i dont want to try, i want to use it.
[01:37] <sebsebseb> snooser:  ok
[01:37] <snooser> thks
[01:37] <sebsebseb> snooser: pm me
[01:37] <prince_jammys> makes no difference whether ./ is there or not. verify that you are indeed in the directory where the file is
[01:38] <mel> I need help trouble shooting my touch pad on my aspire 5570z with ubuntu 8.10. It will kinda work but its like the cursor gets stuck and will stop moving. Everything else will respond though. So I'm really confused. It just started doing this.
[01:38] <Akkernight> ok, chmod worked, how do I run the file now? 'cause now it's saying it doesn't exist at ./pdsetup.run
[01:38] <Java_Head> snooser; go with wubi, then you won't have to worry bout partitions. if you can install a program on windows then you can install linux on wubi
[01:38] <sebsebseb> !xorg
[01:38] <sebsebseb> no
[01:38] <Akkernight> woops, name error xP
[01:39] <sebsebseb> !mouse
[01:39] <pvtpete> hi there
[01:39] <sebsebseb> mel:  I thought one of those bot tiggers could help you, but I guess not
[01:39] <Akkernight> Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
[01:39] <Akkernight> Gdk-WARNING **: can not set locale modifiers
[01:39] <Akkernight> this means it failed?
[01:39] <snooser> Java_Head: thanks. i know how to install linux, but my question is: there is no problem at all in using wubi?
[01:39] <jtrouter> Hello can i ask a question?
[01:40] <Flannel> jtrouter: Yep
[01:40] <LjL> !ask
[01:40] <mel> sebsebseb: yea.. those don't seem to be part of my problem. it also works randomly for random amounts of time then goes back to being stuck.
[01:40] <Java_Head> not at all, by the end of the install you will have a full linux installation
[01:40] <prince_jammys> Akkernight: well, now it's an entirely different issue having to do with the prog. you can now execute it
[01:40] <jtrouter> I want to install the 64 bit version, when i go to download it it say AMD64 i have intel? do i still use it?
[01:41] <LjL> jtrouter: if your processor is 64-bit, you can use it
[01:41] <Flannel> jtrouter: Yep.  "AMD64" is a generic name for 64bit, just like "i386" is the generic name for 32bit (not intel specific)
[01:41] <jtrouter> so I have intel and amd64 version is ok?
[01:41] <jtrouter> ok very well, thank you
[01:42] <grenn> Im trying to install vmware server in ubuntu and Im having a hard time installing this rpm file. Is there a way to install rpm files easy with ubuntu?
[01:42] <unko> QUESTION for a OP. when is ubuntu gonna have ipod touch/ iphone support?
[01:42] <prince_jammys> grenn: it's preferable not to, but it can be done with `alien'
[01:43] <prince_jammys> !alien | grenn
[01:43] <Java_Head> Hey, anyone tryed this "presto instant-on" ??? (the thin linux client that boots in 15sec) whats your view on it
[01:43] <prince_jammys> bah, didn't add anything new
[01:43] <unop> unko, gtkpod not do it for you?
[01:43] <grenn> so there is really know way to use vmware then?
[01:43] <musikgoat|main> Unko: (im not an OP), but i'm sure the answer would be when Apple allows anything other than iTunes to function the iphones database
[01:43] <unko> unop never tried it
[01:43] <dercomputer> Does anyone know if 8.10 has any read/write power management issues with laptop hard drives?
[01:43] <mel> Hrmm. so no one has had an issue with the cursor just randomly not working?
[01:43] <unko> musikgoat|main, i hate apple!
[01:44] <prince_jammys> !vmware | grenn

[01:45] <Flannel> Ndshacker: The wiki page?
[01:46] <prince_jammys> !ssh : perhaps make a new key as shown here: | divXjunky
[01:46] <usser> divXjunky, rm ~/.ssh/known_hosts
[01:47] <Ndshacker> Musikgoat, It didnt work ;(
[01:47] <divXjunky> ok ubottu, what is it i need to change/delete (since i ssh to a couple of shells too, my 'known_hosts' is pretty full........
[01:47] <prince_jammys> !ssh | divXjunky : perhaps make a new key as shown here
[01:47] <Ndshacker> I already redid ubuntu for this once
[01:47] <grenn> virtualbox-ose doesnt have USB support so updating my Zune is out of the question
[01:47] <Ndshacker> as I need a VM to do my work
[01:48] <musikgoat|main> grenn: virtualbox by sun (not ose) has usb support
[01:48] <grenn> hmmmm
[01:48] <musikgoat|main> Ndshacker: did it install a graphical vbox manager?
[01:48] <Ndshacker> nope
[01:48] <Ndshacker> I cant find it'
[01:49] <musikgoat|main> did you look in system tools?
[01:49] <Ndshacker> yes
[01:49] <musikgoat|main> what did you do to install vboxgtk?
[01:49] <ClayG> anyone here use downloadthemall?
[01:49] <grenn> what is vbox manager?
[01:49] <Ndshacker> I downloaded from their website
[01:50] <prince_jammys> grenn: a gui tool for managing various virtualboxes you may have created
[01:50] <musikgoat|main> Ndshacker: go to the terminal and type, sudo apt-get install vboxgtk
[01:50] <snarkster> how do you make modules autoload?
[01:50] <Ndshacker> is that the closed source?
[01:51] <musikgoat|main> Ndshacker: virtualbox is closed source,  virtualbox-ose is open source,  the graphical manager i'm sure is open, but i don't know for sure
[01:51] <Ndshacker> um..
[01:51] <Ndshacker> it cant find it
[01:52] <musikgoat|main> go to system -> admin -> software sources
[01:52] <musikgoat|main> Ndshacker: ^^
[01:52] <sekinto> Does anyone know how to sync Evolution with Google Calendar in a way that allows me to edit it and not just read it?
[01:52] <sekinto> Is this even possible?
[01:52] <Droopsta915> im customizing the look on my desktop, does anyone know how Ican get my panel icons down to the bottom of the desktop. Mac Look
[01:53] <musikgoat|main> Ndshacker: i'm not sure if vboxgtk is in the universe or multiverse, but check those
[01:53] <herenbdy> heya, where are the images for the login screen stored? I like the login screen for Ubuntu 9.04 and wanted to show it to a friend, but can't find it online
[01:53] <musikgoat|main> Ndshacker: and close, then let it update
[01:53] <herenbdy> Ubuntu Studio 904*
[01:54] <Droopsta915> herenbdy:Go to system > admin > login window
[01:54] <musikgoat|main> he's gone already?
[01:54] <sebsebseb> !Mac |  Droopsta915
[01:54] <musikgoat|main> herenbdy: like this http://tinyurl.com/csn3em
[01:54] <sebsebseb> damn no good
[01:55] <sebsebseb> Droopsta915: there are Mac themes and such
[01:55] <gusfm> Hey, has anybody tryed ext4 with jaunty. I'm planning to install jaunty alpha tomorrow and I think I'll change at least my / partition to ext4. What do you guys recommend?
[01:55] <herenbdy> musikgoat|main: not the Ubuntu 9.04 screen, the Ubuntu Studio 9.04 login screen, which I can't seem to find online ><
[01:55] <sebsebseb> gusfm: I would recommend not to install the alpha
[01:55] <sebsebseb> gusfm: also  Jauntys's Ext4 has a data loss bug
[01:55] <Droopsta915> sebsebseb:so its not gdesklets, it's an actual Mac theme?
[01:55] <musikgoat|main> sebsebseb: thats fixed
[01:55] <sebsebseb> gusfm: seriously you don't really gain anything over 8.10  when it comes to 9.04 alpha6
[01:56] <sebsebseb> musikgoat|main: fixed whilst keeping the speed?
[01:56] <musikgoat|main> sebsebseb: i'm not sure if the fixed kernel is rolled into an install yet
[01:56] <sebsebseb> Droopsta915: no that's just a dock
[01:56] <sebsebseb> Droopsta915: cairo dock is better they say
[01:56] <musikgoat|main> sebsebseb: from what i read in the bug report, the fix doesn't affect the speed, it just does integrity checkes
[01:56] <Droopsta915> sebsebseb:thanks
[01:57] <gusfm> hmm, ok thanks
[01:57] <musikgoat|main> sebsebseb: however,  i ran jaunty on my eee with ext4 for about two weeks before that kernel fix came out without any problems
[01:57] <herenbdy> Droopsta915: I can only see a thumbnail frmo there, would you know where I could find the full image?
[01:57] <Ndshacker> if this werent IRC

[01:58] <sebsebseb> !changethemes
[01:58] <Droopsta915> herenbdy:click on the local tab and that will show u the login screens u have

[01:59] <herenbdy> Droopsta915: i'm there, but it's just a thumbnail :/
[01:59] <Droopsta915> sebsebseb:I guess I just want the dock, I like the look of my icons on the bottom

[02:03] <herenbdy> Droopsta915: can you take screenshots from the login screen?
[02:03] <michael> .htdocs should be in your wwwroot directory right?
[02:03] <musikgoat|main> militant_: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default-000  or something to that effect?
[02:03] <militant_>  DocumentRoot /var/www/  is what i have set
[02:03] <Ndshacker> Is it so hard to get USB passthrough on a virtual machine?

[02:04] <militant_> musikgoat|main, it works fine when i have it listening on 80, but when i put it on a different port and change nothing else, it stops using /var/www/
[02:04] <Flannel> militant_: /etc/apache2/ports.conf

[02:06] <twocarlo> Ndshacker: nero
[02:06] <musikgoat|main> Ndshacker: you may want to ask in #vbox about the differences between virtualbox and virtualbox-ose,  the former supports usb passthrough
[02:06] <todd_r> devede
[02:06] <justin__> I can't install any apps or anything
[02:06] <Flannel> justin__: How did you try and install it?
[02:06] <justin__> My Add/Remove IS BROKE
[02:06] <militant_> Flannel, ok, that's wehre i change what port it lsitens on.  but i don't see anything about document root or htdocs?
[02:07] <justin__> I did a whole bunch of stuff I even tried the terminal
[02:07] <Flannel> militant_: document root is set in your sites-available (set by your virtualhosts)
[02:07] <justin__> I looked up codes like sudo
[02:07] <justin__> and I was messing around with vim
[02:07] <justin__> which i don't know anything about
[02:07] <Flannel> justin__: "a whole bunch of stuff" doesn't help.  What did you do?
[02:07] <Flannel> justin__: So, you randomly did some stuff to your configurations, and now stuff doesn't work?
[02:08] <musikgoat|main> justin__: i would suggest using synapic to install things,  you want to install FF3.1beta?
[02:08] <militant_> Flannel, correct, and i just checked mine again and it has /var/www/ set... but the apache error log is showing it trying to go to /htdocs instead
[02:08] <Flannel> militant_: And whats the URL you're going to?  Or at least the stuff after the domain, that is.
[02:08] <militant_> nowhere.  just the domain.  well it's an IP, i don't have a domain on it yet
[02:09] <justin__> Failed to check for installed and available application - That is what I get everytime I click add remove
[02:09] <justin__> And plus nothing works through the terminal it told me to do something to fix it and it didnt work
[02:09] <justin__> check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information with: 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f'.
[02:10] <solexious> I'm getting problems with gpodder, How can i scrub it from my system including all config files?
[02:10] <justin__> That is the message I get from add remove programs, and none of that works
[02:10] <Flannel> justin__: Alright.  Pastebin your sources.list, and the output of sudo apt-get update
[02:10] <Flannel> militant_: Do you have the new port?
[02:10] <justin__> Flannel: Pastebin?
[02:10] <musikgoat|main> !paste | justin__
[02:11] <elli222> !fbset
[02:11] <justin__> Ok so after I get pastebin what do I do?
[02:11] <musikgoat|main> justin__: in terminal type, cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:11] <Flannel> justin__: Paste it the stuff, hit 'submit' then give us the URL of the page you're taken to.
[02:11] <musikgoat|main> justin__: and the stuff that shows up, put on pastebin, submit, then give us the url
[02:11] <musikgoat|main> heh
[02:12] <militant_> Flannel, ahhh fixed it, thx, i hadn't changed the port in 000-default, dur
[02:12] <justin__> musikgoat: OK I did
[02:12] <Flannel> militant_: Hmmm, by default there is no port specified, did you specify one?
[02:13] <Jork> need help setting up my wifi please guys, tried getting some help but didnt get anywhere.
[02:13] <militant_> by default it had 80 in there, just like ports.conf did.  my isp filters incoming 80's so i'm using 31000, had set it in ports.conf but not in 000-default
[02:13] <solexious> I'm getting problems with gpodder, How can i scrub it from my system including all config files so  can do a fresh install?
[02:13] <Droopsta915> herenby:I think you can. alt+Prt Sc
[02:13] <justin__> musik: Now you want me to paste everything from that command and send you the link
[02:13] <musikgoat|main> solexious: sudo apt-get purge gpodder
[02:14] <sebsebseb> Jork: ok wireless is  a common issue with Ubuntu
[02:14] <musikgoat|main> justin__: yes, post the url here
[02:14] <solexious> musikgoat|main, Thank you
[02:14] <justin__> http://paste.ubuntu.com/134575/
[02:14] <bobbob1016> For some reason, when I boot gnome-panel takes 100% cpu and does for a while, any ideas?
[02:14] <sebsebseb> Jork: ,but it varies per device.  I can't really help with wifi :(  ,but others may be able to, if you give them details about your set up.  what device and all that
[02:14] <sebsebseb> also
[02:14] <sebsebseb> !wifi
[02:14] <Akkernight> I'm using Gigabyte wireless without problems...
[02:14] <justin__> Oh, yeah I also downloaded ActivePerl server because I was going to try to learn it that might of broke it, that or firefox im not sure
[02:14] <musikgoat|main> justin__: also paste the output of "sudo apt-get update"
[02:14] <Droopsta915> I installed cairo-Dock. And got a message. Now I run it and it doesnt come up? Whats going on?
[02:15] <job> where do i find GTK+ theme engine?
[02:15] <Jork> i have a dell laptop with Linksys router. XP and Ubuntu on a dual boot.
[02:15] <bobbob1016> Droopsta915, Any way you could say what the message you got is?
[02:15] <justin__> Ok Musik btw thanks for helping my windows cd broke and this is all i have :-)
[02:16] <gusfm> justin__: i think you sould remove the last line of that file. and then sudo apt-get update
[02:17] <musikgoat|main> justin__: gusfm is right
[02:17] <pvtpete> can anyone give me some tips on creating a totally silent command line server that'll run like an external storage device
[02:17] <militant_> sweet.  i r having webserver finally.  been a struggle all day with isp port filtering and a bad router and bad routes from secondary isp
[02:17] <militant_> thanks guys :)

[02:17] <Jork> anyone help with wifi please? gotta try to get it going.
[02:18] <musikgoat|main> justin__: type: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:18] <musikgoat|main> justin__: then go to the last line and press ctrl+k
[02:18] <musikgoat|main> justin__: then ctrl+s, then ctrl+x,   then sudo apt-get update
[02:19] <gerzel> Installing VMware Server (64 version if it matters) In which directory do I want to install the daemon files?  Is /usr/sbin/ ok?
[02:19] <Droopsta915> bobbob1016:It started with the bad news is, but I dont remember. I will reinstall it and read it better, lol
[02:19] <Gabe_S> Anyone ever had a problem getting dvd burners to function properly?
[02:19] <bazhang> Jork, open a terminal and find the chipset by typing lspci
[02:20] <bazhang> Jork, then paste the one line here (not more than one)
[02:20] <gmazzola> gerzel: I installed VMware Server in the default directory, never had trouble.
[02:20] <Jork> the problem is on another computer, so no copy and paste.
[02:20] <justin__> Ok I did Ctr-K and it erased that last line do I exit the terminal?
[02:20] <bazhang> Jork, then just tell us
[02:20] <alvaro> puede alguien decirme de que color es esta página web http://190.39.45.96
[02:20] <musikgoat|main> justin__: yes
[02:20] <musikgoat|main> save and exit
[02:20] <gerzel> gmazzola; Ok so just let it install all where it wants.  Presuming it has an uninstall script...hopefully
[02:21] <Jork> mind PM'ing?
[02:21] <justin__> mus: how do I save?
[02:21] <musikgoat|main> justin__: ctrl+s
[02:21] <bazhang> Jork, here is better, more eyes to help
[02:21] <Jork> alright. well I cant find chipset in the mess..
[02:21] <alvaro> can someone tell me which is the background color of this webpage http://190.39.45.96
[02:21] <justin__> [XOFF IGNORED MUMBLE MUMBLE]
[02:21] <musikgoat|main> justin__: sorry, wrong...  do ctrl+x
[02:22] <gmazzola> gerzel: If you need any help with VMware, send me a PM :) I have it running on my Ubuntu/Intrepid installation right now. It's annoying at times, but it works.
[02:22] <musikgoat|main> justin__: then when it asks to save, hit Y
[02:22] <floatboat> how can i see the command acroread sends to CUPS?
[02:22] <gmazzola> alvaro: I can't access the page.
[02:22] <Jork> im not too computer literate, and Ubuntu is fresh for me.
[02:22] <gerzel> gmazzola: Thanks.  Only question is does Ubuntu have a C compiler installed by default?  I assume it does.
[02:22] <justin__> Ok I saved what command is exit
[02:22] <phasegen> can anyone tell me what the command is to open the network manager from the terminal?
[02:22] <Ndshacker> how do I uninstall something installed via deb package?
[02:22] <alvaro> gmazzola: what  do you see?
[02:22] <Droopsta915> cairo dock wont open? I reinstalled it. I open it and I see some cairo info in the terminal, but it wont open
[02:23] <gmazzola> gerzel: I forget, but try typing "gcc". If you goes through, you have a compiler. You might need the Linux kernel headers...
[02:23] <musikgoat|main> justin__: ctrl+x  means exit,  you save upon exiting
[02:23] <justin__> oops I press ctr-c
[02:23] <justin__> cancel
[02:23] <gmazzola> alvaro: I can't connect to port 80 on the IP. It's being blocked.
[02:23] <justin__> but I saved first
[02:23] <Ndshacker> its not in Synaptic
[02:23] <musikgoat|main> justin__: then ctrl+x again to exit
[02:23] <UncleD-> I'm trying to echo "unknown" if my ping response is "unknown host" in my script but its not working. PLease take a look: http://pastie.org/422589
[02:23] <bobbob1016> Ndshacker, From synaptic, synaptic manages everything installed.
[02:23] <gerzel> gmazzola: Got gcc: no input files assume that is good enough...should I install the header files just incase?
[02:23] <Ndshacker> bobbob: its not there
[02:24] <justin__> it wont exit
[02:24] <gmazzola> gerzel: gcc is installed then. I'd install the kernel headers, since I know vmware will need to compile a kernel module...
[02:24] <gmazzola> Trust me, you'll know if it breaks. :P
[02:24] <gmazzola> It's a lot of... erm... fun, the first time around.
[02:24] <alvaro> gmazzola: thanks
[02:24] <bobbob1016> Ndshacker, Not sure then.
[02:24] <musikgoat|main> justin__: does it say why?
[02:24] <justin__> My computer is beeping at me beep beep
[02:24] <floatboat> ... or how can i print directly from CLI?
[02:24] <bazhang> Jork, without that info no real way to help
[02:25] <Jork> am i literally looking for chipset or?
[02:25] <UncleD-> Can someone take a quick look at my bash/shell script and comment on what i'm doing wrong. http://pastie.org/422589
[02:25] <bazhang> Jork, you can also check in hardware drivers and see if there are any available for that nic
[02:25] <UncleD-> I'm trying to get it to echo "unknown" if the response from ping contains the words "unknown host"
[02:25] <justin__> It says file name to write it is highlighted in black and has a menu under it and it beep when ctr-x
[02:26] <phpwn> hi i'm trying to get sound to work properly on ubuntu
[02:26] <phpwn> is there a way to disable portaudio?
[02:26] <Ndshacker> how can I customize my desktop?
[02:26] <justin__> hm
[02:26] <musikgoat|main> justin__: sorry, hit enter
[02:26] <Jork> couldnt get anything really to show up on hardware drivers
[02:26] <bazhang> Jork, you want to find something like broadcom, atheros, ralink and the word network next to it, but there will be two as that includes the ethernet (at least two)
[02:26] <Ndshacker> I have custom icons and background
[02:26] <Ndshacker> and theme
[02:26] <gerzel> What package do I check to see if the linux kernel headers are installed?
[02:26] <Ndshacker> and cursor, but like
[02:26] <musikgoat|main> justin__: its asking if you want to save it under that name or another...
[02:27] <LjL> UncleD-: uhm, as far as i know, that "case" statement causes it to only output unknown if the output of "ping" is *exactly* "unknown". and it's redundant with the "if" statement - just use "if"
[02:27] <phasegen> can someone tell me what the command is to open the network manager from the terminal?  It isn't in the menu anywhere.
[02:27] <Jork> network controller is boradcom corp wlan.
[02:27] <justin__> mus: comp says "Save File Under DIfferent file name" Y OR N
[02:27] <bazhang> Jork, which exact number
[02:27] <musikgoat|main> justin__: then
[02:27] <musikgoat|main> no
[02:27] <Jork> BCM4311?
[02:27] <justin__> Do I name it?
[02:27] <justin__> lol......linux is crazy
[02:28] <musikgoat|main> justin__: sources.list
[02:28] <Jork> or 0c:00.0?
[02:28] <Ndshacker> thank god, I finally got Virtualbox running :|
[02:28] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx Jork look at this link please
[02:28] <justin__> Save it under different name - YES or No
[02:29] <musikgoat|main> justin__: something is wrong, say no, ctrl+c to cancel
[02:29] <musikgoat|main> justin__: then ctrl+x and say no to saving the file
[02:29] <justin__> OK back to terminal
[02:29] <musikgoat|main> justin__: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:29] <gusfm> i think it's easyer to use gedit instead of nano
[02:29] <Jork> i dont see a support file for 8.10?
[02:30] <justin__> 55 lines
[02:30] <musikgoat|main> gusfm: easier to some extent, also unsafer because you must run it as root
[02:30] <justin__> Read
[02:30] <musikgoat|main> justin__: go back to the bottom line, cut it
[02:30] <musikgoat|main> (ctrl+k)
[02:30] <bazhang> Jork, should work under ibex as well
[02:31] <musikgoat|main> justin__: then ctrl+x, yes,  <enter>
[02:31] <Jork> I'm a bit lost, sorry dude.
[02:31] <musikgoat|main> justin__: yes really is just y
[02:31] <justin__> do you know what I did?
[02:31] <kamekun> i need help with a bluetooth device
[02:31] <kamekun> please
[02:31] <bazhang> Jork, then maybe following some links at the ubuntuforums would be more helpful under the wireless sub-section there are many threads to help
[02:32] <musikgoat|main> justin__: what did you do?
[02:32] <justin__> should I go back to see if the line is cut
[02:32] <gusfm> jork: i have the same wireless card as you. I installed the one in restricted drivers and worked perfectly.
[02:32] <musikgoat|main> justin__: after you've saved it,  go back to "cat /etc/apt/sources.list"   and make sure that
[02:32] <justin__> should i go back to see if line is cut
[02:32] <musikgoat|main> the file is missing that last line
[02:32] <Jork> well one guy helped me, and he said he has no idea whats wrong, and that was the end, but we went thru a lot of stuff.
[02:32] <justin__> sudo nano
[02:33] <musikgoat|main> justin__: nano is an editor,  you can just look at the file with cat,  so cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:33] <bazhang> Jork, well you are not giving very precise details, so it is hard to help you. a lot of stuff could mean anything really.
[02:33] <justin__> I went back in the editor and it cut it this time
[02:33] <justin__> yeah
[02:33] <musikgoat|main> justin__: cool,  now sudo apt-get update
[02:34] <justin__> It just loaded some stuff
[02:34] <kamekun> is DELL BH200
[02:34] <Jork> how do I install the driver? just like XP pretty much?
[02:34] <justin__> what do I do now
[02:35] <Guest88788> Can anyone help me with a VirtualBox issue?
[02:35] <musikgoat|main> justin__: now add/remove   and   synaptic  should work
[02:35] <musikgoat|main> justin__: try installing what you intended
[02:35] <gusfm> jork: did you tried the restricted drivers manage? System > Administration > Hardware drivers
[02:35] <breakmyfall> hello, i'm on x and when ever i try to run emacs it runs on gui mode . how can i run it on text mode
[02:35] <Jork> yeah, i just get 'wl'
[02:36] <michael> does anyone else here have problems with qdvdautho crashing when you try to import video?
[02:36] <michael> qdvdauthor*
[02:36] <justin__> Yeah IT worked ..woot woot!   Now how I install the newest version of FF  I got the tar on my desktop
[02:36] <emma> Hey guys, in an ubuntu wiki describing how to record with pulseaudio it says that in Applications > Sound & Video there should be something called PulseAudio Volume Control.
[02:36] <emma> I don't see that ^
[02:36] <emma> Where do you find that or why isn't it there?
[02:36] <phpwn> hi can alsa, oss, and pulseaudio all be running at the same time?
[02:36] <justin__> THere is no button i can click to install FF
[02:36] <emma> phpwn: well alsa certainly should be running at the same time as pulseaudio.
[02:37] <musikgoat|main> justin__: i would suggest not intalling the tar, rather let me find you the instructions about installing it from ppa
[02:37] <Jeruvy> phpwn: technically, yes.
[02:37] <emma> pulseaudio depends upon interacting with alsa.
[02:37] <Netham46> Is there any reason that the Create USB Installer fails every single time I use it?
[02:37] <Netham46> I've tried 3 computers, and 2 USB Drives.
[02:37] <justin__> Wow i did not know under add/remove there is a bunch of progs to install
[02:37] <Jeruvy> Netham46: bad usb stick??
[02:37] <phpwn> i see
[02:37] <bazhang> !info pavucontrol
[02:37] <justin__> how do you do that comp wizz thing
[02:38] <phpwn> so how to get my sound to work in ubuntu?
[02:38] <Netham46> Jeruvy: The stick worked perfectly for me in Windows, and I've also tried another.
[02:38] <Jeruvy> Netham46: I have 6 of the same usb drives, and only one will actually boot ubuntu
[02:38] <justin__> Am I the only one that gets a BEEP BEEP if I backspace to much
[02:38] <Netham46> Jeruvy: still, that
[02:38] <Netham46> er
[02:38] <Netham46> that's no excuse for the creator to crash
[02:39] <musikgoat|main> justin__: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/03/install-firefox-31-beta-3pre-in-ubuntu.html
[02:39] <Jeruvy> Netham46: i agree, but it's a possibility.  However you may have better luck than I
[02:39] <phpwn> no sound comes out of either of my sound cards :/
[02:39] <gusfm> justin__: you can disable that beep. Just go to system > Preferences > sound
[02:39] <justin__> BTW thanks alot musik....  Although now linux scares me I tinker to much and conisder how many time I have to reinstall windows I am afraid I am going to wreck it again.
[02:40] <Jeruvy> justin__: that should be more reason to tinker with linux vs. windows.  Linux isn't as intolerant.
[02:40] <emma> Oh never mind, I see that the Ubuntu devs did not install pavucontrol (Why are the Ubuntu Devs (who I usually trust implicitly)) consistently doing things contrary to the way that the PulseAudio devs recommend, even while there is now a long history of pulseaudio being broken in Ubuntu (and not in other distros) ?
[02:40] <musikgoat|main> justin__: its a learning experience
[02:41] <Netham46> Damnit, I forgot that this is why I don't use Linux...
[02:41] <justin__> I think I am going to take a linux class for college next semester
[02:41] <justin__> or should i take unix?
[02:41] <musikgoat|main> justin__: either,  both will teach you alot, and you can learn how to use either from which ever class
[02:41] <bazhang> http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download.html justin__ check this book before you decide
[02:42] <Jeruvy> justin__: I'd just grab some o'reilly books and learn as you go.  Bazhang has a great link.
[02:42] <justin__> I want to be a web developer .. don't web servers use unix not linux or am I wrong?
[02:42] <justin__> I got some hehe
[02:42] <sebsebseb> justin__: most servers today are run by Linux
[02:42] <musikgoat|main> justin__: web servers use whatever the admin installs
[02:42] <justin__> I am bogged down with this javascript class I have
[02:42] <breakmyfall> why does it flicker when i try to watch movie when effects are enabled but not when it is not
[02:43] <musikgoat|main> justin__: ubuntu server is a great webserver for instance :-)
[02:43] <justin__> BTW Does anyone know a good IDE for Ubuntu?
[02:43] <Netham46> justin__: I personally avoid Linux like a plague for my web servers, they're all IIS. I moved from Linux a couple years ago, and I've had no issues since. :)
[02:43] <Jeruvy> justin__: you poor dude...like I said learn as you go, no secrets in ubuntu :)
[02:43] <sheep> Netham46: imo, IIS isn't as stable or as secure as apache
[02:43] <mdg> What version of Gnome-Do are you using with 8.10?
[02:43] <Mobius2> Linux is better in every way for serving.. it's ridiculous the number of benefits.. I don't even need a GUI to serve anymore
[02:43] <musikgoat|main> Netham46: thats funny,  IIS caused our company loads of problems, and we dropped it like a bad habit
[02:44] <Jeruvy> Netham46: well you must work for the mr. softy co.
[02:44] <Netham46> sheep: Apache had errors, constantly quit, siting a signal for a resized terminal as the issue. Wasn't even in a terminal.
[02:44] <Sarai> I installed the package kubuntu-desktop a while back to check out kde out of curiosity.  After fiddling around with it, I went to uninstall as detailed here:  http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome . I was idly watching the terminal when I see "removing virtualbox 2.4" or some such. I immediately x-ed out of the terminal. My virtual box is running right now but when I try to open up the...
[02:44] <Sarai> ...settings program it says that "there was an error launching the application". I looked through the list of packages that I removed and none of them are virtual box! What do I do?
[02:44] <justin__> Any text editors I can use for javascript?
[02:44] <FloodBot2> Sarai: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:44] <phasegen> what is the command to open the network manager from a terminal?
[02:44] <justin__> Does netbeans work in linux?
[02:44] <sheep> Netham46: I have never had that happen to me when apache
[02:44] <sheep> Netham46: +was configured right
[02:44] <Jeruvy> justin__: whatever you prefer really.  I use a IDE myself.
[02:44] <Netham46> sheep: Well, I had it happen on 3 boxes, and I had numerous people look at it and tell me they were configured right.
[02:45] <Jeruvy> sheep: and #apache has wonderful support compared to iis :)
[02:45] <Netham46> But, I gotta reboot, because the USB install somehow managed to corrupt the MBR on my USB Stick, and now I can't get it fixed without rebooting.
[02:45] <Jork> i've tried updating the driver, seems to be no luck
[02:45] <Netham46> Check ##windows-server for IIS support, they're really helpful there.
[02:45] <Netham46> *reboots*
[02:45] <Mobius2> Netham- if you want linux on a stick, why not try Puppy?
[02:46] <Mobius2> ugh... windows people...
[02:46] <Jeruvy> Mobius2: puppy linux?
[02:46] <gusfm> phasegen: nm-connection-editor
[02:46] <Mobius2> yeah that was the most painless usb install I've had (except maybe DSL)
[02:46] <Jeruvy> Mobius2: gtk
[02:47] <Mobius2> of course I did cheat a little, using loadlin so I could do a DOS/Linux multiboot USB stick, but it works great
[02:47] <bazhang> !ot
[02:47] <Jeruvy> sorry
[02:47] <justin__> What IDE do you use.. I downloaded Netbeans, and I opened a project it had a jscript file in it I deleted it, and used it and it was the best every it had auto complete and made thing fast (while I had win32)
[02:47] <musikgoat|main> justin__: eclipse is a very good ide, but i'm not sure for javascript (probly is)
[02:48] <flaco> anyone with touch panels expirense??? I got one, it works, but I cant calibrate and I don't know what driver is using..
[02:48] <dercomputer> i have a question about ext4 and jaunty
[02:48] <Jeruvy> justin__: I use komodo
[02:48] <justin__> I tried that it did not work good for javascript notepade++ was just as good
[02:48] <musikgoat|main> dercomputer: #ubuntu+1
[02:48] <musikgoat|main> dercomputer: for jaunty support
[02:48] <dercomputer> thanks musikgoat
[02:48] <justin__> How do I get komo
[02:49] <Jeruvy> justin__: i'd use crimson editor if I had to suffer thru windows, but I'm ot again...sorry.
[02:49] <musikgoat|main> justin__: notepad++ was great when i was in windows,  i wish there was a clone for ubuntu
[02:49] <dercomputer> hey musikgoat|main
[02:49] <bazhang> justin__, please read the wiki, many of these questions are handled there
[02:49] <mdg> What do you think of Gnome-Do?
[02:49] <musikgoat|main> dercomputer: yes?
[02:49] <dercomputer> do you happen to know if 8.10 has any read/write power management issues with laptop hard drives?
[02:50] <bazhang> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid justin__
[02:50] <dercomputer> because i lost one recently
[02:50] <bazhang> !rute > justin__
[02:50] <dercomputer> i know it was supposedly an issue with gutsy
[02:50] <dercomputer> or older versions anyway
[02:50] <Sarai> I'm sorry, I don't mean to be impatient here, I know that's frowned upon. But I'm freaking out, all my music is stored in that virtualbox
[02:50] <justin__> I would just go to windows and search * IDE JAVASCRIPT + LINUX * but I don't know how to install programs
[02:50] <musikgoat|main> dercomputer: i thought that issue was resolved, where it would needlessly write to the disk
[02:50] <Jeruvy> dercomputer: I could not say did you check with ubuntu bugs?
[02:50] <bobbob1016> For some reason, when I boot gnome-panel takes 100% cpu and does for a while, any ideas?
[02:50] <dercomputer> yeah
[02:50] <dercomputer> no i haven't
[02:51] <dercomputer> i was curious about ext4 and that maybe solving it
[02:51] <Droopsta915> How do I get rid of the icon descriptions, I cant read anything its all cluttered?
[02:51] <dercomputer> but i'll go to that channel and ask as you suggested
[02:51] <dercomputer> thanks
[02:51] <Roasted> Has anybody used FOG with Ubuntu?
[02:51] <Droopsta915> Sorry, in cairo dock
[02:51] <Jeruvy> !info FOG
[02:51] <mdg> Sarai: What happened to your virtual box?
[02:52] <Roasted> FOG isn't a package...
[02:52] <Droopsta915> nevermind, im going to uninstall cairo dock, not really liking it
[02:52] <Roasted> FOG is an open source cloning solution, like Ghost, but free, that's build on top of Fedora or Ubuntu.
[02:52] <Sarai> I explained it above, want me to past my old post?
[02:52] <musikgoat|main> Sarai: if its one line, ye
[02:52] <gusfm> justin__: you can install ubuntu applications from add/remove
[02:52] <dercomputer> Droopsta915, have you tried AWN?
[02:52] <Sarai> musikgoat|main: it's not, it's long
[02:52] <Jeruvy> Sarai: sure not too often :)
[02:52] <mdg> Sarai: I just got here a minute ago - I will see if I can see it
[02:53] <musikgoat|main> Sarai: maybe its better to pastebin it
[02:53] <justin__> How come when I tried to install firefox i broke add remove
[02:53] <Droopsta915> dercomputer
[02:53] <dercomputer> yeah
[02:53] <Droopsta915> dercomputer: no is it any better
[02:53] <Sarai> musikgoat|main: will do
[02:53] <justin__> you don't have to use the terminal to instsal programs?
[02:53] <musikgoat|main> justin__: because you added a line to sources.list that was incorrect
[02:53] <karate> hai..............
[02:53] <Jeruvy> !synaptic | justin__
[02:53] <dercomputer> i usually had problems with it being weird with my drivers
[02:53] <dercomputer> it wouldn't hurt to give it a try
[02:54] <Droopsta915> thanks
[02:54] <Mobius2> hey speaking of Synaptic, why does Ubuntu come with two package managers?
[02:54] <mdg> Sarai: I saw it - wow
[02:54] <justin__> how did I do that (so I wont do it again)
[02:54] <dercomputer> np
[02:54] <Jeruvy> Mobius2: more the merrier
[02:54] <LjL> Mobius2: which would be?
[02:54] <Sarai> http://paste.ubuntu.com/134590/
[02:54] <musikgoat|main> justin__: i'm not sure how you did it
[02:54] <karate> bleh knln gak?
[02:55] <floatboat> is anyone here able to print duplex from acroread?
[02:55] <musikgoat|main> Sarai: do you use vboxgtk?
[02:55] <gusfm> justin__: you should avoid editing system files if you dont know what you are doing.
[02:56] <mdg> Sarai: I don't have a lot of experience with virtualbox.  I think you should be able to find a log of what was installed or uninstalled - just don't know where - I'm newer to linux
[02:56] <justin__> Ok guys I am going to google komodo and try to find it so i can do my javascript homework
[02:56] <militant_> anyone have a preferred gallery generator?  :D
[02:56] <Sarai> musikgoat|main:  I think so, when I installed it I was using gnome only
[02:56] <justin__> you mean i shouldnt use the terminal if i dont know
[02:56] <musikgoat|main> justin__: just try to remember that installing via synaptic or apt-get is better than trying to install tars
[02:56] <melx> Alright, trying again. Aspire 5570z with 8.10. The touch pad is acting like a stalled application. Like some of the mouse events are getting procesed and others not. I just want to figure out how to trouble shoot this. Or if possible to see what packages have changed over the last week so I can maybe see something thats causing it.
[02:56] <justin__> get-apt
[02:57] <UncleD-> LjL: What am I doing wrong here: http://pastie.org/422610
[02:57] <militant_> justin__, you shouldn't use the terminal as root and do unknown things without ability to revert.  but, learning to use the cli itself is pretty important
[02:57] <justin__> i dont   know what synaptic is
[02:57] <musikgoat|main> Sarai: go to terminal and type vboxgtk,  see if there is any output
[02:57] <musikgoat|main> Sarai: if its more than a line, pastebin it
[02:57] <bazhang> !synaptic > justin__
[02:57] <militant_> melx, is it only registering some of your touches/movements, and still getting all of your clicks?
[02:58] <bazhang> !apt-get > justin__
[02:58] <tikoo> kk
[02:58] <Sarai> musikgoat|main: says it's not installed
[02:58] <justin__> !synaptic
[02:58] <LjL> UncleD-: if [ $PING_RESULT "unknown" ]; is wrong. "ping" doesn't output "unknown", it outputs something more like "ping: unknown host" or somesuch. also, there's an -eq missing there
[02:58] <justin__> what does that do
[02:58] <justin__> where do i type it
[02:58] <musikgoat|main> Sarai: what do you normally use to get to your settings?
[02:58] <bazhang> justin__, please read the links.
[02:58] <Jeruvy> justin__: its equivilent to apt-get
[02:58] <Sarai> musikgoat|main: my virtualbox settings? I just run the program
[02:58] <Jeruvy> justin__: not the same... but similar.
[02:59] <justin__> I would read a book but i need to do my homework my bad
[02:59] <musikgoat|main> Sarai: i think it might be best to ask for help in #vbox
[02:59] <Sarai> musikgoat|main: okay, i will do that
[02:59] <justin__> i just need a editor
[02:59] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto justin__ this too
[02:59] <Jeruvy> justin__: don't let us distract you,  stick to nano or gedit.
[02:59] <musikgoat|main> justin__: gedit  :-)
[02:59] <justin__> gedit
[02:59] <gusfm> justin__ try gedit. Its a great editor
[02:59] <justin__> where do i find it\
[02:59] <justin__> that is what i want
[03:00] <musikgoat|main> applications -> text editor
[03:00] <musikgoat|main> sorry, accessories

[03:01] <claudya> yupz,blh knl gak"?
[03:01] <justin__> Does it atleast colorize code?
[03:01] <musikgoat|main> justin__: yes
[03:01] <melx> militant_: yes! exactly
[03:01] <musikgoat|main> justin__: yes,  set the hilight mode under view
[03:01] <justin__> lol this is just like notepad for window
[03:02] <musikgoat|main> oh no you didn't :-P
[03:02] <kaski> connect irc.gamesurge.net
[03:02] <kaski> stop
[03:02] <melx> kaski: forgot your /
[03:02] <austin_> I have mupen on my computer, but i can only run it by clicking on the file in my folder.   Where would be the best place to put it in the file system, and link to my shortcut bar?
[03:02] <militant_> melx: might be a mouse resolution issue then.  or having the pad set as the wrong type.  one of these fine folks can point you where to check those, things have changed since i last worried about them
[03:02] <claudya> who you name?
[03:02] <musikgoat|main> austin_: put it in ~/bin
[03:02] <kaski> Could someone here help me out about connecting to an irc server not on the list?
[03:02] <kamekun> anynone can help me with DELL BH200 buetooh headeset conection?
[03:02] <SCM|Lappy> Is it possible to change your username ?
[03:03] <kaski> I'm using Xchat
[03:03] <musikgoat|main> austin_: if the folder doesn't exist, create it
[03:03] <SuperFireLord42> kaski, yeah sure, what server
[03:03] <kaski> irc.gamesurge.net
[03:03] <SuperFireLord42> oh, kaski enter the following
[03:03] <melx> Umm can anyone follow up with militant_'s comments
[03:03] <SuperFireLord42> /server irc.gamesurge.net
[03:03] <Jeruvy> kamekun: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irc
[03:03] <kaski> thanks
[03:03] <melx> militant_: I'm actually very happy someone actually knows what I'm talking about
[03:03] <austin_> musikgoat|Main, yes, i see /bin.  just drag and drop the folder in there then?  i wan't to put my roms in a good location, would you reccomend placing it with the prog. files?
[03:04] <militant_> touchpads in linux have been an issue for me in the past, melx, i'm checking now on that...
[03:04] <claudya> aku dari lndonesia
[03:04] <justin__> Ok I'm going to read those links because I deff need a new editor for javascript
[03:04] <floatboat> anyone know any pdf viewers aside from evince, kpdf, xpdf, acroread?
[03:04] <DIFH-iceroot> i need a shell which disables shell-login but the possibilit to use sftp and passwd. is there any way for this?
[03:04] <militant_> melx, /etc/X11/xorg.conf has the mouse entry.  not sure what you'll need to do with it, but that's where it's at
[03:05] <musikgoat|main> austin_: placing the binary (executable) in that directory allows you to call it from anywhere
[03:05] <melx> militant_: I've been trying all day to find out why and i've asked like 5 times here at separate times and it felt like no one understood what I was talking about.
[03:05] <melx> militant_: yea mine doesn't
[03:05] <musikgoat|main> austin_: don't put the folder in there, just the files in the folder
[03:05] <DIFH-iceroot> floatboat: foxitreader  also use apt-cache search pdf reader
[03:05] <claudya> am not language english
[03:05] <Jeruvy> melx: it should see if there is a xorg.conf.bak in that dir
[03:05] <SuperFireLord42> claudya, what lang?
[03:05] <SuperFireLord42> *language
[03:05] <melx> one sec while I do that
[03:05] <irfan> how to convert video in ubuntu
[03:05] <musikgoat|main> austin_: then go to system -> prefs -> main menu and create a new item in whatever menu you'd like
[03:06] <austin_> musikgoat|Main, don't put the ROMS in there, or don't put the folder containing the multiple files in there?
[03:06] <DIFH-iceroot> irfan: from what to what?
[03:06] <SuperFireLord42> claudya, what langauge do you speak?
[03:06] <Guest44607> flv to 3gp
[03:06] <claudya> indonesia
[03:06] <bazhang> !id
[03:06] <SuperFireLord42> i was about to ask what lang they speak there...
[03:06] <melx> Jeruvy: I've checked all the xorg.conf.* files they all look the same
[03:06] <musikgoat|main> austin_: the bin folder should hold only binaries... but if you have a ton of roms, then you may want to just leave them where they are...
[03:06] <Guest44607> please trll me
[03:07] <austin_> musikgoat|Main, Its got .conf files, an icon, some documentation, plugins folder, lang. folder, and a save folder
[03:07] <Jeruvy> melx: try defaulting it with the command in the xorg.conf file I don't know it off my brain.
[03:07] <Guest44607> please tell me any one
[03:07] <claudya> so
[03:07] <austin_> musikgoat|Main, and i'm purging my desktop, whihc is where my ROMS are located
[03:07] <musikgoat|main> ok, whats the file you click to start it?
[03:07] <SuperFireLord42> !id | claudya
[03:07] <rreyes> Hi all... I've seen lots of screenshots where there are semi transparent lauch bars. How can I install that?
[03:07] <musikgoat|main> austin_: then just place it in your home folder
[03:07] <Guest44607> how to convert a video in ubuntu
[03:07] <melx> Jeruvy: umm. I'm not an xorg.conf expert ... :( could you be more specific so I can at least google it?
[03:08] <SuperFireLord42> claudya, they will probably be more able to help you...
[03:08] <melx> I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to have in there. Other than InputDevice
[03:08] <goose> I'm looking for a key logging program, any suggestions?
[03:08] <bazhang> claudya, /join #ubuntu-id
[03:08] <austin_> musikgoat|Main, roms in the home folder, and the Emu files in the /bin?
[03:08] <melx> though I should say that xinput list shows a synaptic touchpad
[03:08] <bazhang> goose, none here
[03:08] <Guest44607> nobody knows
[03:08] <mdg> Guest44607: Firefox extension Video Downloadhelper
[03:08] <bazhang> Guest44607, ffmpeg
[03:08] <Jeruvy> melx: if you read the xorg.conf there should be a command to default the config, unless you've modified it
[03:08] <claudya> i need frends
[03:09] <Guest44607> waht command will be used
[03:09] <SuperFireLord42> claudya, frends?
[03:09] <goose> bazhang, as in, none at all in your knowledge of the creation of applications for ubuntu? ;/
[03:09] <melx> Jeruvy: yea I rand that command earlier when someone said check the xorg.conf file. It din't change anything
[03:09] <bazhang> claudya, this is not a chat channel
[03:09] <musikgoat|main> austin_: you can try that,  i believe if you separate them, then the emu wont know where they are
[03:09] <Psuedo> greetings
[03:09] <musikgoat|main> austin_: depending on if you have the option to load the roms in the emu
[03:09] <Psuedo> Does Ubuntu support installation to a GPT Partition Table?
[03:09] <Jeruvy> melx: ok, thats my suggestion, if you've done it then ignore me :)
[03:09] <SuperFireLord42> claudya, then you want #ubuntu-social (was that the one?)
[03:09] <claudya> yupz,emk knp?
[03:09] <austin_> musikgoat|Main, yes, i can search for them in a GUI....i'll keep the roms in /home then.
[03:10]  * melx face palm
[03:10] <musikgoat|main> austin_: yeah, and the emu in the ~/bin
[03:10] <austin_> musikgoat|Main, Thank you :)
[03:10] <musikgoat|main> austin_: then make the new item in main menu,  and you should just be able to call it by its name, not the full path of the emu
[03:11] <claudya> kmu gak bs bhs indonesia?

[03:14] <Pur3vil>  
[03:14] <Pur3vil> bash# chmod 744 /etc/init.d/gateway
[03:14] <Pur3vil>  
[03:14] <Pur3vil> Use rcconf or chkconfig to create startup links for this file.
[03:14] <FloodBot2> Pur3vil: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:14] <musikgoat|main> austin_: click on the icon
[03:15] <hhr> ubottu: what did you say?

[03:15] <bazhang> claudya, please stop
[03:15] <austin_> musikgoat|Main, wheres the option to change it?
[03:15] <melx> there wouldn't happen to be a way to have ubuntu recreate the xorg.conf file from scratch like t did during installation would there?
[03:16] <claudya> why?
[03:16] <musikgoat|main> austin_: edit the menu item, "properties"
[03:16] <bazhang> claudya, this is not the chat channel.
[03:16] <bazhang> claudya, #ubuntu-offtopic for chat
[03:16] <napzter> guys what is the shortcut key of application ^ in ubuntu?

[03:21] <Germanaz0> sudo rm -R /

[03:21] <Sarai> oi...
[03:21] <musikgoat|main> !ops | Germanaz0
[03:22] <Mobius2> *scribbles down the command for later study*
[03:22] <Sarai> justice is swift in the #ubuntu channel :)
[03:22] <cvw> Mobius2: in short, it erases everything
[03:22] <Dreamglider> what would that command do ?
[03:22] <Dreamglider> Ohh
[03:22] <bazhang> dont run it
[03:22] <cvw> so, don't run it
[03:23] <Mobius2> why would you ever need that?
[03:23] <Mobius2> yeah, now that I look at it, I see... but... I don't see what context that would ever help..
[03:23] <Flannel> Mobius2: You wouldn't.  People just like being idiots.
[03:23] <Mobius2> ah ok
[03:23] <Dreamglider> Mobius2, for making a os killing script perhaps ?
[03:23] <musikgoat|main> Mobius2: its just a fact of the command stucture of linux, its an allowable command
[03:24] <Mobius2> yeah... Oh, he wasn't even trying to guide anybody... just some linux hater, perhaps? sending bots in with their little Cointelpro tactics?
[03:24] <melx> Simple breakdown sudo says do this as root rm is the remove/delete command -rf says recursively and force and lastly starting from / so, erase everything from / on down
[03:24] <Pur3vil> chkconfig is failing to update gateway on ... can someone help?
[03:24] <musikgoat|main> suprisingly, since ubuntu put in effect that ctrl+alt+backspace  is disbled, i'm suprised they haven't aliased that command
[03:24] <Mobius2> wow, the price we pay for freedom, eh? :P
[03:25] <bazhang> !ot
[03:25] <melx> Dreamglider: well, remember Linux gives you a lot of power over things. The unfortunate thing is its like wielding a gun sometimes you can shoot yourself in the foot.
[03:25] <Pur3vil> chkconfig is failing to update gateway on ... can someone help?
[03:26] <musikgoat|main> melx: good analogy
[03:26] <Dreamglider> i know it does, that's why i came to like it alot :) (Tho im not very good at it but i have a friend called #Ubuntu and one named Google :P =)
[03:27] <Mobius2> that IS good
[03:27] <musikgoat|main> more like shooting yourself in the head, as you cannot recover from that command
[03:28] <Dreamglider> i bet that german was p***ed  cos someone told him OOh hey that command will fix your wifi card or somthing
[03:29] <Mobius2> or he's just a dick
[03:29] <musikgoat|main> !ohmy
[03:30] <Dreamglider> Anyways, i just noticed when i play video the color is way off. it's like the HUE is turned way op/down
[03:30] <ClayG> is there a way to list all the files on your system over 500mb?
[03:30] <styol> if i have a Guest account set to auto-login, how can i stop the auto-login to use another user? or is that not possible?
[03:31] <musikgoat|main> ClayG: find -size N[bcwkMG]
[03:31] <musikgoat|main> ClayG: sudo find / -size 500M *
[03:31] <musikgoat|main> drop the *
[03:32] <ClayG> musikgoat you do man!
[03:32] <ClayG> er i mean you da man
[03:32] <disappearedng> any1 here used imacros before?
[03:33] <musikgoat|main> hmm, maybe i'm wrong... you have to have an expression...
[03:33] <musikgoat|main> oh -print
[03:34] <bobbob1016> For some reason, when I boot gnome-panel takes 100% cpu and does for a while, any ideas?
[03:34] <swayed> Hi - Trying to use Gparted to add another partition to make overall space on hard drive bigger - not sure how to use Gparted ? ?
[03:34] <Mobius2> bobbob- well gnome is a bit chubby... also that's probably including your startup programs..
[03:35] <bobbob1016> Mobius2, Still at 100%
[03:35] <bobbob1016> After 20-30 minutes after being logged in
[03:35] <floatboat> when i run evince i get "" process 16216: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to read machine uuid: Failed to open "/var/lib/dbus/machine-id": No such file or directory See the manual page for dbus-uuidgen to correct this issue. D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace Aborted
[03:35] <swayed> Anyone good with using Gparted ? ?
[03:36] <Mobius2> bobbob- oh that shouldn't be, then.. swayed- gparted is a piece of cake.. what do you need to do?
[03:37] <bobbob1016> Mobius2, That is why I'm asking why.
[03:38] <melx> well I've had enough arguing with this laptop for tonight. I'll return tomorrow to start round 2
[03:38] <swayed> Mobius2; Mind if I give you an Imaginbin link so you can see what I need to do?
[03:38] <RexE> Hi, Does anyone know where I can find a tutorial or guide to collaborative programming work on Linux? I'm thinking of things like best  practices for setting permissions, where to store code (under /home or  somewhere else?), and so on.
[03:39] <crdlb> floatboat: try 'sudo /bin/dbus-uuidgen --ensure'
[03:39] <RexE> Some background: I am doing some programming work with two colleagues, and we are  experimenting with working on an Ubuntu server via SSH. Right now our  setup is very rudimentary -- we are all using the same username and  password, and just store our individual projects in different  subdirectories of $HOME. (I know this isn't a good setup.)
[03:39] <Mobius2> swayed- sure
[03:40] <swayed> Mobius2; Here it is - http://imagebin.org/42167
[03:40] <cvw> RexE: learn about version control software, such as CVS, Subversion, or Git - those are some good examples
[03:40] <crdlb> RexE: use a SCM like git or subversion?
[03:40] <IdentifyTarget> how can I locate a package in backports? I see no way of searching https://launchpad.net/intrepid-backports
[03:40] <foo_> Hello. I don't know my user password. How can I delete it? Doesn't ubuntu not have a root user, so how do I login?
[03:40] <IdentifyTarget> foo_ recovery mode?
[03:41] <foo_> ok I boot into recovery and type passwd username?
[03:41] <swayed> Mobius2; Basically my old 320GB was getting full and I used Ghost and did a sector to sector clone and would like to add the 169GB's to ext2 partition somehow.
[03:41] <militant_> ok.  anyone use libapache-gallery-perl ?
[03:42] <foo_> That's a good answer thanks but I don't wanna make a mistake and have to reboot again. So I would enter passwd -d username to delete the password?
[03:42] <RexE> @crdlb, @cvw: Thanks. I am setting up Bazaar. (However, we haven't been touching each other's code much, so managing versions isn't a huge deal.) I'm wondering more about things like what directory I should store my code and so on.
[03:42] <IdentifyTarget> foo I'm not sure
[03:42] <IdentifyTarget> I was just trying to point you in the right direction
[03:43] <foo_> That's awesome thank you.
[03:43] <justin__> Sup guys Im Back
[03:43] <k4r1m> whats an ideal swap space size? the more the better or what?
[03:43] <crdlb> RexE: you should store code on your own computers and commit/push to the central repository
[03:43] <jackinbackblack> Hello
[03:44] <justin__> I figured how to get too synaptic ...I found a text editor but it said it was KDE, isn't that different than GNOME?
[03:44] <justin__> Can you install kde on gnome
[03:44] <jackinbackblack> I don't think so
[03:45] <RexE> crdlb: what is the convention for creating central source repository directories? Would it be under /home/ or somewhere else?
[03:45] <justin__> hm. I wonder why they show it, Im looking for a program to make javascript docs and they only editor i found was called Kate and it gnome
[03:45] <justin__> i mean kde
[03:45] <jackinbackblack> Have you checked soureforge?
[03:45] <justin__> Has anyone used kate?
[03:45] <jackinbackblack> there has to be one gnome there
[03:45] <cvw> justin__: you can install kate and use it with gnome
[03:45] <justin__> Is VIM a text editor for html / javascript
[03:46] <Doogie479> hello
[03:46] <gmazzola> Hello Doogie479 :)
[03:46] <justin__> Is Kate better than texteditor that is installed on ubuntu already\
[03:46] <Sarai> musikgoat|main: Looks like I managed to fix my virtualbox! Thank you so much for your patience!
[03:46] <justin__> i got virtual box on windows
[03:46] <musikgoat|main> Sarai: good, i'm glad
[03:47] <musikgoat|main> justin__: kate is a good editor,  but its kind of buggy in gnome,  at least when i gave it a shot a year ago
[03:47] <justin__> I messed up my windows on my other comp.  I managed to click on something that changed my boot manager to VISTA and I have XP
[03:47] <Sarai> Gedit is a good text editor
[03:47] <justin__> The only thing i noticed about kate is you have to install like 20 other files with it.
[03:47] <crdlb> RexE: yes, I believe server admins usually create a new user and store the repos in that user's home dir
[03:48] <crdlb> but I've never done that
[03:48] <phpwn> hi, alsamixer is only showing 1 master channel even though i want surround sound,, what can i do to enable surround?
[03:49] <justin__> I installed VIM for firefox before it was kind of cool i heard you can use vim for CODING .. I wonder how that works when you use it in the terminal?
[03:49] <musikgoat|main> justin__: yes, those are the kde libraries,  they are quite small, but they are required
[03:49] <jackinbackblack> Hi, im installing ubuntu using wubi.exe off the CD
[03:49] <musikgoat|main> justin__: vim has a steep learning curve
[03:49] <jackinbackblack> after it did its stuff, it told me to remove the Cd and reboot
[03:49] <Sarai> jackinbackblack: wubi is a great program
[03:49] <jackinbackblack> I did and I booted into windows, the installation didnt continue
[03:50] <justin__> It was cool for firefox I learned enough where I didnt have to use my mouse
[03:50] <justin__> it was a plugin and it set on the bottom
[03:50] <Sarai> I believe you're supposed to boot into ubuntu
[03:50] <musikgoat|main> justin__: nice
[03:50] <jackinbackblack> was i supposed to do something before it booted into windows?
[03:50] <jackinbackblack> ah.
[03:50] <schnauzer> jackinbackblack: you're supposed to select "Ubuntu", i think.
[03:50] <jackinbackblack> so should i start wubi again?
[03:50] <jackinbackblack> or just reboot?
[03:50] <Sarai> no, just reboot and select ubuntu in the bootloader
[03:50] <jackinbackblack> alright
[03:50] <jackinbackblack> thanks
[03:50] <jackinbackblack> be right back
[03:50] <Sarai> good luck
[03:50] <schnauzer> jackinbackblack: just reboot and select Ubuntu
[03:50] <schnauzer> i'm too slow, apparently...
[03:51] <Sarai> haha
[03:51] <IdentifyTarget> hello I'm using Ubuntu 8.10. How do I upgrade x11vnc to the latest version?
[03:51] <Scunizi> !latest | IdentifyTarget
[03:51] <justin__> I know you guys probally hate windows, but anyone got an idea how I can boot back into WinXP so I can change the MBR back.  I don't have the CD, and don't have a floppy drive.
[03:51] <sebsebseb> !grib
[03:51] <IdentifyTarget> Scunizi: how do I get for backports?
[03:51] <sebsebseb> !grub
[03:52] <sebsebseb> justin__:  what's wrong with Grub?
[03:52] <IdentifyTarget> !backports
[03:52] <justin__> IDK if your talking about me but i dont have grub.  I have two computer the one I am on now is grub
[03:53] <sebsebseb> justin__: you did wubi?
[03:53] <justin__> It just windows XP, I clicked something that changed my boot record to VISTA i was going to double boot the two
[03:53] <Magilla> there are a lot f differing opinions, I know, but what is the best way to move a Ubuntu install to a bigger disk?
[03:53] <militant_> need to set up a gallery generator.  forget what i used to use, i could dump fresh pics in the specified folder and walk away, it would generate thumbs and the gallery page for me
[03:53] <Magilla> *lot of
[03:53] <justin__> NO.  I did not try linux on my other computer
[03:53] <militant_> ideas/suggestions/favorites?
[03:53] <sebsebseb> justin__: you want help with Windows?
[03:54] <justin__> I need a way I can boot into windows with my USB drive so I can change the MBR back.
[03:54] <justin__> yah haha i need windows help.
[03:54] <Mobius2> justin- grub is the answer
[03:54] <Mobius2> you don't need to restore your MBR
[03:54] <doleyb> militant_: there is a php project called "gallery", it does a lot of things
[03:54] <sebsebseb> justin__: Grub  can boot Windows and Linux
[03:54] <justin__> even if I am not going to use linux?
[03:54] <Mobius2> the grub bootloader I just installed last night works for Ubuntu, XP, and Vista (well technically Windows 7 Beta)
[03:54] <epaphus> Hey guys... I accidentally wrote over the partition table of my hard disk... it had the default ubuntu layout.. and it is encrypted filesystem... is there ANY way I can recreate it??
[03:54] <justin__> how can I get back into it?
[03:54] <Mobius2> sure... grub is a bootloader, not an OS
[03:55] <sebsebseb> justin__: yes Grub can be used to just boot WIndows, but why would you only want to boot Windows?
[03:55] <Mobius2> might as well just install linux, so you don't have to configure grub by hand
[03:55] <justin__> i am locked out of windows all my homework is on it
[03:55] <Mobius2> ;)
[03:55] <militant_> doleyb, checking it
[03:55] <sebsebseb> justin__: ok you got the Ubuntu Live CD?
[03:55] <justin__> i need something that will fit on my usb drive so i can get into it again
[03:56] <sebsebseb> justin__: or a bootable Ubuntu USB?
[03:56] <justin__> Yes I got a ubuntu cd i burned the other day
[03:56] <justin__> Maybe I should just install that and use the two
[03:56] <epaphus> anybody ?? please?
[03:57] <sebsebseb> justin__: kate and vim and whatever,  I just scrolled up
[03:57] <sebsebseb> justin__: and now your saying this?  are you trolling?
[03:57] <justin__> huh
[03:58] <Myztikal_> hi, how do i add the java applet thing to mozilla on ubuntu?
[03:58] <sebsebseb> justin__: it seems you were going on about loads of other things before you mention, what you mentioned just now
[03:58] <Myztikal_> and is there anyway to make the terminal window popup when ubuntu boots?
[03:58] <sebsebseb> Myztikal_: easy, but better question, do you want just Java,  or do you want all the restricted stuff?  such as AVI and Flash and so on suppourt
[03:59] <epaphus> Hey guys... I accidentally wrote over the partition table of my hard disk... it had the default ubuntu layout.. and it is encrypted filesystem... is there ANY way I can recreate it??
[03:59] <Myztikal_> well i want the general plugins for mozilla firefox
[03:59] <Myztikal_> and probably the java jdk
[03:59] <stornchek> ubuntu  español ????
[03:59] <Scunizi> !es
[03:59] <stornchek> ok tnk !
[03:59] <unko> hey all, how do i get my ipod touch to work with ubuntu?
[03:59] <Myztikal_> sorry. i just installed ubuntu a few seconds ago :)
[03:59] <sebsebseb> epaphus: you are probably screwed
[04:00] <Scunizi> unko: you have to jail break it.. with risks
[04:00] <sebsebseb> epaphus: however the partition might still be there, just not in the table anymore
[04:00] <justin__> i have two computers.  this one i am double booting vista/ubuntu it my laptop.  My desktop is my main computer.  I was downloading a copy of vista to put on it, and since  wipes out your MBR I grabed a MBR changer ahead of time and I accidentaly clicked on it.
[04:00] <Myztikal_> is there any reocmmended tutotirals out therE?
[04:00] <unko> Scunizi, is it possible to JB the 2g ipod touch?
[04:00] <cjae> any know if you can pick more designs with the linux version of lightscribe?
[04:00] <LHvB7_Vo8eS> Request for help: I installed a restricted gfx driver for the nvidia card, then the card failed and the computer refused to boot after I had to restart (after I installed/activated the restricted driver), so I removed the card and booted from the onboard VGA, but now the X server or whatever is failing to start, I figure because it's still trying to use the nvidia card that is no longer there, how can I reset it to use the o
[04:00] <Scunizi> unko: probably.. found a site once.. you'll have to google
[04:01] <sebsebseb> justin__: you can use the ubuntu live cd    to access your Windows partition
[04:01] <Chaorain> I am trying to compile the program Tesseract Trainer (http://www.mushware.com/portal.php#mushware_shop) but I get this http://paste-it.net/public/jf0473d/ . Help?
[04:01] <sebsebseb> justin__: as long as Windows was shut down properly last time
[04:01] <Magilla> LHvB7_Vo8eS: try booting into recovery mode, and running the Fix Video command
[04:01] <sebsebseb> justin__: you can set up a dual boot set up.   Windows installed first, and then you put Ubuntu on, and it does Grub properly
[04:01] <justin__> ok
[04:02] <sebsebseb> justin__: be careful don't delete your Windows partition
[04:02] <Magilla> LHvB7_Vo8eS: it should put the settings back to something low, but workable
[04:02] <LHvB7_Vo8eS> how do I boot into recovery mode?
[04:02] <justin__> If you install vista unto of linux and xp it whipe it out right
 anyone here know what kind of virus would create about 100 directories that don't exist?
 windows
 or a corrupted filesystem
 that's what I said ;)
[04:02] <FloodBot2> Akkernight: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:02] <sebsebseb> justin__: and  some of us hate Windows, not all of us.  I  personaly would like Desktop Linux to have much more market share, so all software and hardware companies would take it seriously.  cross platform stuff is good
[04:02] <Akkernight> thought you peeps might like that xP
[04:02] <[biabia]> would this command force me to go from 8.04 to 8.10 ??   apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[04:03] <justin__> I don't like windows it just has programs i need
[04:03] <reggy> LHvB7_Vo8eS: press Esc when u see the countdown
[04:03] <justin__> and im not good at ubuntu yet
[04:03] <sebsebseb> justin__: which programs?
[04:03] <Magilla> LHvB7_Vo8eS: in the list of kernels you can boot into when the computer starts up, there should be at least one recovery mode
[04:03] <Peddy> Is there a tool in Ubuntu to recovery lost files on a fat32 formatted flash drive?
[04:03] <Chaorain> make error help? http://paste-it.net/public/jf0473d/
[04:03] <Peddy> recover*
[04:03] <sheep> [biabia]: I think that would just update the package database then upgrade each package to the newest verson in 8.04's repositories
[04:03] <bobbu> I don't see a countdown but I'll keep hitting escape thanx
[04:03] <mleger> hey guys quick question how do I make the wireless on my ibex more stable? seems to only work sometimes and I have to reboot several times and hope to get lucky
[04:03] <reggy> Peddy:  testisk and photorec are superbe
[04:03] <mleger> any help will be appreciated
[04:04] <justin__> I use photoshop netbeans, I am going to school to be a web developer
[04:04] <zenlunatic> Peddy, I don't think any flash drive can be recoverd regardless of the file system.
[04:04] <sebsebseb> justin__:   ok  you can get most of that running in Ubuntu
[04:04] <reggy> zenlunatic: they can :)
[04:04] <Magilla> zenlunatic: not true. I do regular flash recoveries on Windows
[04:04] <sebsebseb> justin__: what's netbeans?
[04:04] <sebsebseb> justin__: which Photoshop?
[04:04] <brandon_> i need help sharing my internet connection
[04:04] <mleger> hey any wireless people awake?
[04:04] <justin__> its like for java but you can do php, ruby on rails, and javascript in it too
[04:04] <sheep> Chaorain: I would suggest reporting that error to the developers of tesseract trainer.  It appears to be a bug in their code
[04:05] <zenlunatic> brandon_, install firestarter
[04:05] <saxofoner> hi everyone, I installed Archlinux and ubuntu, and windows was already installed.  Windows in in a primary part, and the rest of the partitions are in one extended partition.  I can't get archlinux to boot.  How do I reconfigure?
[04:05] <gmazzola> mleger: what kind of wireless? 802.11b/g/a?
[04:05] <sebsebseb> justin__: ok well Linux has great proggramming tools,  so probably something way better than netbeans here
[04:05] <Mobius2> if you're going INTO IT, you really need to get onboard the linux train... I mean, where are you gonna be in 5 years, once windows 7 tanks, and we're ALL using linux? might as well start learning now
[04:05] <mleger> gmazzola: I think 802.11b but how can I check for sure?
[04:05] <mleger> gmazzola: I think 802.11b but how can I check for sure?
[04:05] <sebsebseb> justin__: also you can do LAMP  rather easily in Ubuntu
[04:05] <sebsebseb> !lamp |  justin__
[04:05] <brandon_> zenlunatic: it keepssaying eth0 is not ready
[04:05] <Chaorain> sheep, thanks. THat is an intelegent geuss and not a random geuss right?
[04:05] <gmazzola> mleger: 802.11b is WiFi. I'm pretty good with the technical aspects of it. :) How can I help? Do you want to PM me?
[04:06] <Mobius2> saxofoner- if it was me, I'd do a livedisk boot, and grub-install on the drive
[04:06] <justin__> yeah im going to take a linux class next semseter
[04:06] <Mobius2> but there's probably an easier way
[04:06] <sheep> Chaorain: I don't see anything that looks like user error
[04:06] <sebsebseb> justin__: what about Windows games? you do that?
[04:06] <saxofoner> Mobius2: yeah I was going to try a super grub disk.  but will it just auto detect everything?
[04:06] <justin__> whats good with my degree....tech managment.  I can pretty much take any computer information system class I want
[04:06] <kaski> Hello, its Jackinbackblack from before
[04:06] <kaski> Ubuntu installed great
[04:06] <justin__> NO i hate games
[04:06] <Mobius2> pretty much... grub even picks up that crappy vista bootloader, no problem..
[04:06] <zenlunatic> brandon_, well to install you will need to resolve your networking issues first it seems
[04:06] <Mobius2> saves the old bootloader, too, from what I can see... chainloaded mine automatically
[04:06] <sebsebseb> justin__: ok  you don't need Windows on the computer, that your on about
[04:07] <justin__> but im on the computer all the time imagine that
[04:07] <saxofoner> Mobius2: when i installed ubuntu, it didn't pick up on arch... that's why I'm worried...
[04:07] <Chaorain> sheep, k it wouldn't be because I'm missing a library?
[04:07] <brandon_> :( snd thats on 3 comps
[04:07] <sebsebseb> justin__: yeah same here, I don't really game
[04:07] <kaski> Could someone please tell me what the application Wine does?
[04:07] <brandon_> non can use ut right
[04:07] <sebsebseb> !wine
[04:07] <brandon_> use
[04:07] <kaski> Oh thanks
[04:07] <Mobius2> well, first Wine Is Not an Emulator! lol
[04:07] <sheep> Chaorain: if that were the case, you would likely get an error about a missing header
[04:07] <kaski> Thats what I thought it was
[04:07] <kaski> xD
[04:07] <sebsebseb> justin__: ok  you can run  that stuff in wine :)  and pretty well,  not sure about netbeans
[04:08] <brandon_> zenlunatic: what do you sugest i do
[04:08] <Chaorain> sheep, thanks for the help
[04:08] <Mobius2> no, that's what the initials actually stand for, I think... it basically lets you run programs and even 3d games designed for windows
[04:08] <justin__> actually my other computer i built for mythubuntu ... I actually built a HTPC  meant for linux before I even tired it.. but ended up installing windows, because im not good at it yet
[04:08] <sebsebseb> justin__: get Ubuntu on there, try your Windows apps in Wine,   no luck there well there are commercial versions, but probably won't run that much better there.
[04:08] <zenlunatic> brandon_, can you open pages in firefox?  are you ircing from the box now?
[04:08] <epaphus> When I boot into ubuntu.. it says "Using drive 0, partition 3" is there _any_ way to fix that?
[04:08] <sebsebseb> justin__: so for a problem app you can run Windows inside Ubuntu in a virtual machine.  which will be fine for everything except 3D games basicalley
[04:08] <brandon_> i can internet works fine
[04:08] <justin__> what is wine is it like VMware\
[04:08] <epaphus> sebastien, ? :)
[04:08] <brandon_> and i am on chatzilla
[04:08] <zenlunatic> brandon_, so sudo apt-get install firestarter
[04:09] <sebsebseb> justin__: no there is Wine and virtual machines
[04:09] <justin__> can you install Mac apps too?
[04:09] <sebsebseb> justin__: you can't do Mac apps :(
[04:09] <saxofoner> Is it normal for for the ubuntu install of grub to not find Archlinux?
[04:09] <saxofoner> it seems odd
[04:09] <justin__> that succccks
[04:09] <brandon_> i alredy did
[04:09] <zenlunatic> brandon_, if you get that installed it has a GUI easy to set up sharing
[04:09] <sebsebseb> justin__: however there is Hackintosh :D
[04:09] <sheep> justin__: wine is an implementation of the windows API/ABI on linux, nor mac
[04:09] <justin__> isn't mac like unix based?
[04:09] <kaski> Justin wine is a application used to make windows applications runnable in Ubuntu
[04:09] <sheep> *not
[04:09] <sebsebseb> justin__: yeah Mac OS X is based on FreeBSD or so they say, well yeah it's Unix under the hood
[04:09] <justin__> where do I find this wine
[04:09] <L3dPlatedLinux> I was messing with usplash screen and all I see now is grub for a sec and then a bunch of text and then the gdm. How would I get the usplash back?
[04:10] <sebsebseb> justin__: wait
[04:10] <zenlunatic> L3dPlatedLinux, probably edit your kernel entry in menu.lst
[04:10] <sebsebseb> justin__: listen 2/3 options for running your Windows apps
[04:10] <justin__> Soo..what torrent program do you guys use?
[04:10] <epaphus> When I boot into ubuntu.. it says "Using drive 0, partition 3" is there _any_ way to fix that? sebsebseb
[04:10] <Mobius2> now somebody told me that VirtualBox 3 did support direct control of the video card... but I always questioned how well that would work
[04:10] <sebsebseb> justin__: 1.  Wine   2.  commercial versions of wine  3.  a virtual machine program such as for example Virtualbox
[04:10] <brandon_> I DID ALL THAT, AND IT SAID ETH0 IS  NOT READY
[04:10] <sebsebseb> epaphus: I don't know
[04:11] <brandon_> srry caps:P
[04:11] <Mobius2> justin- just "sudo apt-get install wine"
[04:11] <epaphus> anybody ever seen that?
[04:11] <zenlunatic> you have multiple NICs brandon_
[04:11] <Magilla> keep it down, brandon_ - I'm trying to sleep
[04:11] <Magilla> ;P
[04:11] <sebsebseb> justin__: Wine or the programs based on it,  make  Wines apps run like Linux apps in Ubuntu.  and then a virtual machine is for running a real Windows install
[04:11] <brandon_> NIC?
[04:11] <epaphus> When I boot into ubuntu.. it says "Using drive 0, partition 3" No OS found .... is there _any_ way to fix that? sebsebseb
[04:11] <sebsebseb> epaphus: I said I don't know
[04:11] <Mobius2> brandon-  NIC = ethernet card
[04:11] <zenlunatic> brandon_, multiple network interfaces?
[04:11] <epaphus> sorry
[04:12] <justin__> I saw a awesome video on youtube where someone was was running xp and ubuntu at the same time all tricked out..it wasn't virtualized either it looked like the real thing
[04:12] <sebsebseb> epaphus: oh actsaully sounds like a Grub error
[04:12] <sebsebseb> justin__: well you can run  real  Windows installs in  Ubuntu as well
[04:12] <justin__> I hope Utorrent work on linux : - )
[04:12] <epaphus> sebastien, well... maybe I didnt overwrite those partitions.. I honestly was makin g a process in the machine it should have overwritten ANOTHER hard disk not this one
[04:12] <XtrHotMarSpy> who wants to do that?
[04:12] <Mobius2> justin- uTorrent isn't for linux yet
[04:12] <sebsebseb> justin__:  Utorrent works nicely in Wine, but you don't need that,  Ktorrent :)
[04:13] <brandon_> ? i have a wifi router, that is connecting to one computer which i want to share the internet over ethernet to onther
[04:13] <justin__> I want ktorrent
[04:13] <Mobius2> ah thanks seb, I was getting sick of this Transmission that came with ubuntu
[04:13] <sebsebseb> Mobius2: indeed it's a bit crappy.  by the way which version of Ubuntu are you on?
[04:13] <sebsebseb> Mobius2: you want KDE4 version of Ktorrent
[04:13] <Mobius2> brandon- you need to bridge your ethernet connections
[04:13] <epaphus> sebsebseb, , well... maybe I didnt overwrite those partitions.. I honestly was makin g a process in the machine it should have overwritten ANOTHER hard disk not this one
[04:13] <zenlunatic> brandon_,  is this all dhcp?
[04:14] <Mobius2> I'm on 8, regular, I'm about to go check out Kubuntu though, I don't really care for Gnome that much
[04:14] <kaski> Excuse me guys, I set my graphics options for windows and such from medium to high
[04:14] <epaphus> sebsebseb, does the ubuntu cd offer a fix if it where the grub loader?
[04:14] <brandon_> yes I believe so
[04:14] <kaski> What are the exact changes
[04:14] <sebsebseb> Mobius2: oh your on 8.04?
[04:14] <Mobius2> 8.10 I think
[04:14] <sebsebseb> !version
[04:14] <sebsebseb> do that :)
[04:14] <zenlunatic> epaphus, you can just boot to runlevel 1
[04:14] <Mobius2> yep 8.10
[04:14] <epaphus> zenlunatic, how?
[04:15] <sebsebseb> Mobius2: sadly can't just get KDE3 for  Ubuntu 8.10
[04:15] <Mobius2> what? why the heck not?
[04:15] <zenlunatic> epaphus, edit grub entry at bootup with a 1 after your kernel arguments
[04:15] <sebsebseb> Mobius2: kubuntu in 8.10 is KDE4
[04:15] <sebsebseb> Mobius2: KDE3 is the one that has been used for years now, but is not suppourted anymore basicalley.  KDE4 is pretyt new
[04:15] <Mobius2> Oh I dunno that I'd even know the difference, honestly..
[04:16] <sebsebseb> Mobius2: I don't  like KDE that much, I will use the apps I like from it, in Gnome
[04:16] <avena> ola
[04:16] <sebsebseb> !grub |  epaphus
[04:16] <Mobius2> well I went from Ubuntu server install, went to apt-get install gnome, and it took 1.4 gigs
[04:16] <tritium> avena: if you mean "hola", #ubuntu-es for spanish, please
[04:16] <kaski> im trying to install the latest version of adobe flash player
[04:17] <epaphus> zenlunatic, the message "Using drive 0, partition 3" No O/S... is diplayed immediatey after the BIOS.
[04:17] <kaski> i should get the .deb version?
[04:17] <Mobius2> that's kinda ridiculous.. I'm sure a lot were dependencies, but still... i got off windows for a reason... plus all that and less room to configure stuff
[04:17] <Splex> any idea how to get flash 10rc 64bit to work with pulseaudio?
[04:17] <mitesh> jaunty channel please?
[04:17] <justin__> Has anyone used orb.com  .  It pretty cool for sharing video/ television / document / mp3 between window and linux.  All you do is install orb turn it on and put all your goodies in folder..  Then open your browser with your other computer. And you have all your files!
[04:17] <sebsebseb> kaski: sure get it from Adboes site
[04:17] <sebsebseb> !jaunty
[04:17] <kaski> Okay thanks seb
[04:17] <Deevz> how do I edit a text file as root?
[04:17] <Mobius2> Justin- I used to love orb, until version 2
[04:17] <sebsebseb> Deevz: which one?
[04:17] <brandon_> how do you upgrade ubuntu?
[04:17] <zenlunatic> epaphus, can you post your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:17] <s3bby> helllo ubuntu
[04:17] <justin__> Version2?
[04:17] <sebsebseb> brandon_: upgrade to which version?
[04:17] <Deevz> the index.html that is in my /var/www dir
[04:18] <Scunizi> !upgrade | brandon_
[04:18] <Sarai> Wow, exactly one month to jaunty
[04:18] <brandon_> like the 9.x thats comming out soon
[04:18] <Mobius2> yeah they changed the remote interface, and it was such a pain to find anything
[04:18] <kaski> whats jaunty?
[04:18] <tritium> Sarai: a bit more than a month still
[04:18] <Splex> less than 1 month isn't it
[04:18] <sebsebseb> Deevz: easy  cd into the folder    in the terminal   cd /var/www dir cwhatever
[04:18] <justin__> How do you get Ktorrent.  sudo apt-get ktorrent install?   Im downloading wine now.
[04:18] <epaphus> sebsebseb, zenlunatic .. what I do remember is.. I was in the car driving and noticed the laptop was on.. this laptop has an encrypted filesystem and it was asking me for the password... i didnt want to put it.. so i tried shutting it down hard on it.. thats all..
[04:18] <KillerOrca> Does anyone know if ubuntu supports wake on lan, and if so how it has to be set-up?
[04:18] <Deevz> it says the owner is root
[04:18] <epaphus> zenlunatic, how can I post the menu.1st.. if I cant get a shell? :)
[04:18] <Dreamglider> justin__, sudo apt-get install ktorrent
[04:18] <Mobius2> eh... it's hard for me to get too excited about releases that occur on a fixed schedule
[04:18] <sebsebseb> Deevz: then:   gksudo gedit filename   that will do it
[04:18] <tritium> Sarai: no, final release is 4/23
[04:18] <Splex> ohh
[04:19] <Splex> april 23
[04:19] <justin__> Is Wine and Ktorrent under Synaptic too?
[04:19] <sebsebseb> epaphus: you can make a grub  bootable floppy or I guess  usb stick
[04:19] <Mobius2> hey hey... 4/20 weekend, come back and there's a new ubuntu? dang, they should hurry it up by a few days
[04:19] <sebsebseb> justin__: don't get wine from synaptic
[04:19] <Sarai> tritium: darn, right you are. Wishful thinking
[04:19] <Mobius2> I'd pass out so many ubuntu CD's it would be crazy
[04:19] <sebsebseb> justin__: don't even get  wine from the terminal.  get it from their website, then you always get the latest version
[04:19] <Splex> you can always just install jaunty current
[04:19] <Splex> if you need it now
[04:19] <Splex> lol
[04:19] <zenlunatic> epaphus, a bios password?
[04:19] <sebsebseb> justin__: you add their server for ububuntu and then  sudo apt-get install wine
[04:20] <epaphus> sebsebseb, do you think this improper shutdown could altered the bootloader...? if its only the bootloader which is bad.. what are the chances I dont loose my data?
[04:20] <justin__> oops already did it
[04:20] <justin__> through terminal
[04:20] <sebsebseb> justin__: http://www.winehq.org
[04:20] <Deevz> That works sebsebseb, thx
[04:20] <epaphus> zenlunatic, no the passwrd that ubuntu asks you if you encypted the filesystem
[04:20] <justin__> How do you uninstall in ubuntu?
[04:20] <sebsebseb> justin__: well does not matter that much, but  if you want the latest version always
[04:20] <zenlunatic> epaphus, oh sorry never used that feature
[04:20] <justin__> add/remove
[04:20] <justin__> prob
[04:20] <sebsebseb> justin__: sudo apt-get purge program
[04:20] <Mobius2> "sudo apt-get remove" will uninstall
[04:20] <epaphus> zenlunatic, its pretty cool
[04:20] <Mobius2> oh I could be wrong lol
[04:20] <Mobius2> anyway, I'm outta here
[04:20] <sebsebseb> justin__: add/remove  is just a cut down version of Synaptic package manager
[04:21] <justin__> so ..... sudo apt-get remove vim
[04:21] <Mobius2> Shabbat Shalom, to those of such persuasions, and have a good night! to the rest of you!
[04:21] <justin__> like will that work
[04:21] <sebsebseb> justin__: no
[04:21] <zenlunatic> epaphus, so you lost your password to your encrypted laptop?
[04:21] <sebsebseb> justin__: well that would work I suppouse, but
[04:21] <sebsebseb> justin__: I use purge since that will get rid of config files as well   sudo apt-get purge vim
[04:21] <epaphus> zenlunatic, no.. i have that.. i lost what appears to be the grub config
[04:21] <justin__> sudo apt-get purge kate
[04:21] <Deevz> why is login in as root disabled in ubuntu?
[04:21] <sebsebseb> !root
[04:22] <Deevz> LOL
[04:22] <zenlunatic> epaphus, im on redhat now, but i think grub-install is in ubuntu
[04:22] <sonarsubs> Deevz - use sudo (command)
[04:22] <Deevz> I know
[04:22] <zenlunatic> epaphus, that command as root should reinstal grub on mbr
[04:22] <Deevz> I was just wondering...
[04:22] <Troll_Man> you get used to sudo after awhile
[04:22] <kaski> I am so lost when it comes to using linux
[04:22] <Technoviking> anyone know the canonical system group channel
[04:22] <Troll_Man> its simply more secure
[04:22] <justin__> sebsebseb where do these files go when you install them from the terminal
[04:22] <sebsebseb> kaski: ok  what do you want help with?
[04:22] <zenlunatic> kaski, you might find a class at your local community college
[04:22] <kaski> A beginners guide
[04:23] <epaphus> zenlunatic, you mean.. running that command with a grub USB boot up disk or something.. right?
[04:23] <kaski> Haha I don't think I need a class
[04:23] <kaski> But yeah
[04:23] <Magilla> I'm off to try and migrate to a new HDD
[04:23] <sebsebseb> justin__: some where in  the file system, but   program user data goes in hidden .folders in home
[04:23] <Magilla> I may be back. Eventually
[04:23] <zenlunatic> not familiar witha "ggrub usb boot up disk"
[04:23] <kaski> A website where I could learn the basics, such as file extensions, getting stuff done
[04:23] <Dreamglider> kaski, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners/Guide
[04:23] <justin__> sebsebseb if it is hidden then how do you get too it lol
[04:23] <zenlunatic> kaski, file extensions don't matter in linux
[04:23] <sebsebseb> justin__: view show hidden files and folders
[04:23] <bobb> Magilla thanks, the fix the x server command worked
[04:24] <Troll_Man> soo you guys take shifts helping people in here or just bored?
[04:24] <kaski> thanks dreamflider

[04:25] <epaphus> sebsebseb, do you think this improper shutdown could altered the bootloader...? if its only the bootloader which is bad.. what are the chances I dont loose my data?
[04:25] <devilsadvocate> Troll_Man, sometimes we just feel like giving back, and not all of us can actually write code / have time to get familiarized with the codebase
[04:25] <Magilla> If I survive to tell the tale, I may remember to let you know ;P
[04:25] <Bender2k14> Hello all, I am interested in improving the mounting of disk images for a GSoC project.  Is anyone here want to talk about it?

[04:27] <Troll_Man> thanks
[04:27] <Magilla> bye
[04:27] <corey> anybody help me out here?
[04:28] <devilsadvocate> Magilla, you can simply rsync / to the new drive. but yeah, there probably is a software that does disk images. not sure which
[04:28] <corey>  Hey guys question, I think my ATI x300 is installed but i lag hard still on games. Everytime I try to activate it I reboot and it says "out of range" help me out here
[04:28] <Sarai> what's your question, corey?
[04:28] <stopie> forums = ded?
[04:28] <corey> Look up real quick srai
[04:28] <devilsadvocate> magilla windows folk use norton ghost something
[04:29] <KillerOrca> corey, umm what games are you trying to play, are you using wine?
[04:29] <kaski> I am browsing this guide to installing windows games using wine
[04:29] <kaski> It tells me these commands
[04:29] <kaski> Would I enter them in the terminal?
[04:29] <corey> It doesn't matter bro i just want my card activated
[04:29] <gmazzola> corey: Also, what is the output of the command "glxinfo | grep direct"?
[04:29] <bobb> what is the way to refresh the ip address in ubunut
[04:29] <KillerOrca> kaski, if the guide says that then yes
[04:29] <bobb> like in windows it is ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew
[04:29] <kaski> The guide didn't mention a terminal
[04:29] <corey> I am a noob with linux
[04:30] <devilsadvocate> bobb, sudo /etc/init.d/network restart  (it might be networking)
[04:30] <KillerOrca> corey, ooen a terminal, should be under system menu
[04:30] <sebsebseb> kaski: get wine from their website
[04:30] <bobb> thx
[04:30] <gmazzola> corey: Go to Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal. Type in "glxinfo | grep direct" without the quotes.
[04:30] <sebsebseb> kaski: ad their repo then you always got latest wine http://www.winehq.org  then you sudo apt-get install wine
[04:30] <gmazzola> I'm trying to see if Linux recognizes that you have a graphics card.
[04:31] <KillerOrca> kaski, well most guides don't say terminal, just have bolded text for commands in the terminal
[04:31] <corey> it says nothing
[04:31] <Bender2k14> bobb and devilsadvocate: it is networking
[04:31] <justin__> Am I the only one who cant stand the "fonts" that come installed with buntu'
[04:31] <corey> it says bad request
[04:32] <kaski> how do I "ad their repo"
[04:32] <kaski> and what does that mean
[04:32] <justin__> I also don't think ubuntu installed my driver for my monitor
[04:32] <Bender2k14> kaski: repo is short for repository
[04:32] <kaski> Ah ok
[04:32] <kaski> I think I get it now
[04:32] <devilsadvocate> kaski, you add the link they gave you to your software sources in synaptic or in /etc/apt/sources.list (both are essentially th same thing)
[04:32] <Bender2k14> sweet
[04:33] <termitor> hello, who use vdpau ?
[04:33] <justin__> I installed Ktorrent now I can not find it...NEONE Help?
[04:33] <___cWe^14_xMp> nick elroy_music
[04:33] <KillerOrca> kaski, they have a repository of software, you add it to your sources list, which is described here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine
[04:33] <neer> is there any yahoo messenger client for ubuntu?
[04:33] <neer> not pidgin, kopete
[04:33] <termitor> neer: pidgin
[04:34] <termitor> neer: why no ?
[04:34] <neer> because no voice in pidgin
[04:34] <justin__> how can i find my program i install under sudo sebseb anyone?
[04:34] <yoshimit> Hi there... I'm looking for some doc/tutorial for adding ubuntu station on samba domain... someone can point me ? thanx
[04:34] <neer> termitor: there is no voice in pidgin
[04:34] <termitor> neer: yahoo use jabber protocole ?
[04:35] <neer> termitor: I don't know about that but I just want to voice chat
[04:35] <kaski> Okay thanks everyone
[04:35] <bobb> devils/bender what is the way to refresh the ip address in ubuntu, the networking thing said it refreshed but the ip did not change
[04:35] <kaski> I got it now
[04:36] <KillerOrca> bobb, is there a specifi reason you need a new ip?  Are you trying to change  the internal one?
[04:36] <devilsadvocate> bobb, probably your dhcp server is giving you the same ip again
[04:36] <bobb> i said in the network config to manuaal before refreshing devils
[04:36] <neer> termitor: do you have any suggestion ?
[04:36] <RexE> Hi, I'm creating new user accounts with useradd, but it doesn't seem to be setting any of the defaults (e.g. creating home dir in /home, granting proper permissions, etc.) I read the man page, and still can't see how I should fix this.
[04:36] <devilsadvocate> bobb, hm
[04:37] <devilsadvocate> bobb, then the network manager would have restarted network, etc
[04:37] <devilsadvocate> you should not have to do it manually
[04:37] <ElectricAlan> hi everyone
[04:37] <bobb> it didn't do ity
[04:37] <bullgard4> What is a 'BoF agenda'? (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EasyFileSharing)
[04:37] <termitor> neer: use windonws version of yahoo messenger on winehq
[04:37] <termitor> neer: test
[04:38] <RexE> I used the -d flag to specify the home dir, but then when I log in as my new user, I can't even modify files in my home directory.
[04:38] <KillerOrca> RexE, I believe that the other accounts added after the first need to be elevated if you want them to be, the default is to give them less permissions
[04:38] <ElectricAlan> I'm an adelaide uni software eng student, I use linux at uni but not very often at home
[04:38] <neer> termitor: test?
[04:38] <Geoffrey2> hello all, anyone here who's set up bluetooth under Intrepid?
[04:38] <ElectricAlan> so I'm hoping to start learning how to use ubunutu properly
[04:38] <bobb> and when I restarted ubuntu, it emptied all the configurations I hadset and put it back to dhcp, so it's not changing even if I restart
[04:38] <termitor> neer: testing it !
[04:39] <KillerOrca> bobb, are you tring to set a staic ip?
[04:39] <bobb> yes killer
[04:39] <RexE> Thanks KillerOrca. As root, how can I set typical permissions for a new user?
[04:39] <Kimi> Hello..!!
[04:40] <justin__> Hmm Wine is not working
[04:40] <neer> termitor: there is some testing going on ymessenger for ubuntu?
[04:40] <KillerOrca> bobb, alright I did this forever ago and it was a royal pain in the ass, are you looking to ssh in from outside your home network?
[04:40] <Freenix> hello
[04:40] <justin__> It only shows program files and windows and there is nothing in program files.
[04:40] <Geoffrey2> I'm trying to pair a cell phone with a bluetooth device on my computer, but every document I find says I need to configure a file that doesn't even exist in Intrepid....
[04:40] <justin__> Should I use a virtuallization program
[04:40] <Kimi> Why is windows more famous and widely used than ubuntu(or linux) .....
[04:40] <KillerOrca> RexE, I belive it is chmod, I think a quick google on adding new users and changing permissions should set you up
[04:40] <termitor> neer: use windows version of yahoo messensing via winhq ! go go go
[04:41] <devilsadvocate> justin__, thats what it is supposed to do ...
[04:41] <justin__> sudu atp-get install virtualbox   ......will that work?
[04:41] <devilsadvocate> justin__, what do you want to do, ultimately?
[04:41] <neer> termitor: i have tried using wine for so many applications, it does not work properly
[04:41] <justin__> I thought it would bring up your windows file?
[04:41] <Kimi> why cant i call Gtalk from Pidgin ???
[04:41] <justin__> I want to use some winows app
[04:42] <devilsadvocate> justin__, which you have installed on your windows partition?
[04:42] <RalphSpencer> Hello, this computer is set to dual boot XP and Ubuntu. I cannot access my F: drive in the Places menu of Ubuntu.
[04:42] <justin__> yeah

[04:42] <devilsadvocate> nautilus
[04:42] <Kimi> skinofstars1 No.. i want to call Gtalk
[04:42] <Kimi> from pidgin
[04:42] <bobb> killer I'm trying to run a server, so  I don't want the ip to be dynamic
[04:42] <justin__> Nautil?
[04:43] <devilsadvocate> Kimi, press F11 for firefox, might help
[04:43] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, unix does not use drive letters. The drive is probalby there, but called something other than "f:" Look in Plaes->Computer
[04:43] <skinofstars1> Kimi: what do you mean 'call'?
[04:43] <devilsadvocate> justin__, nautilus. file manager.
[04:43] <RalphSpencer> Places/Computer
[04:43] <skinofstars1> Kimi: text?
[04:43] <RalphSpencer> So that I can mount it and access files on it.
[04:43] <Kimi> skinofstars1  i mean, to do voice chat with gtalk
[04:43] <Kimi> from pidgin
[04:44] <brad__> hi, I am having problems with the live cd for both intrepid ibex and jaunty. Whenever I try to boot the live cd, I think it panics shortly after X starts. The keyboard leds start to blink. What can I do to debug this issue?
[04:44] <RalphSpencer> I tried that
[04:44] <devilsadvocate> Kimi, its not possible from pidgin
[04:44] <Kimi> thanks... firefox worked :P
[04:44] <skinofstars1> Kimi: because pidgin isn't a voip client. consider ekiga or skype
[04:44] <cjae> can someone say my nick please
[04:44] <gmazzola> cjae
[04:44] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, It's not listed there? ok, try "sudo fdisk -l" to list all partitions. might need to manually mangle fstab to mount it
[04:44] <Kimi> skinofstars1 from skype, can i call Gtalk ?
[04:44] <KillerOrca> bobb, alright are you on a windows machine right now?
[04:45] <SunnyDP> Kimi: why ? or why?
[04:45] <termitor> Kimi: no skype it's fully privatif !
[04:45] <skinofstars1> Kimi: i don't think so, you'd have to check the skype manual
[04:45] <cjae> gmazzola: thanks but sound still doesn't work
[04:45] <bobb> this irc is running on windows, but I have the ubuntu machine right next to me so I can accesss both simultaneously
[04:45] <neer> plus what is this libssl0.9.6...
[04:45] <neer> I cannot find it
[04:45] <Starnestommy> neer: try aptitude search libssl
[04:46] <RalphSpencer> It has listed all the partitions...
[04:46] <devilsadvocate> Kimi, you cant. i dont know if they work/how well they work, you can look up telepathy based clients (i forget the name now) or psi jingle
[04:46] <sprinkmeier_> !who | RalphSpencer
[04:46] <luffy> yo
[04:46] <KillerOrca> bobb, ok on the windows machine do you have an ssh program installed?  If not I reccomend Putty, and on the linux box go to firefox and get to your routers' home page
[04:46] <brad__> 8.04 boots and installs fine. But 8.10, 9.04 both seem to kernel panic...
[04:46] <bobb> killer done
[04:46] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, can you tell which on the "f" drive is? something like "/dev/sda5"?
[04:47] <RalphSpencer> Shall I paste all thats listed in there?
[04:47] <KillerOrca> bobb, ok so you have an ip address picked out at the top range of your router?
[04:47] <RalphSpencer> I'm not much geeky in all these things..
[04:47] <sprinkmeier_> !pastebin | RalphSpencer
[04:47] <brutus> why does my firefox turn grey randomly?
[04:47] <Kimi> Then there is not gtalk for linux..... and all my frnds use gtalk ..... now what to do ?
[04:47] <bobb> killer i have my ip address picked out which is within the router subnet
[04:48] <brutus> Kimi, have you tried pidgin?
[04:48] <mayahustle> Does anyone know what's going on with ubuntu forums?
[04:48] <myron> Hello everyone ever since I installed ubuntu I have received the "sudo: unable to resove host hostname" when using the sudo command, but  sudo still works.
[04:48] <KillerOrca> bobb, I know but it is in the top part, like say you have adresses XXX.XXX.XXX.000 to XXX.XXX.XXX.100 and you want to chose 99
[04:48] <myron> I am using ubuntu 8.04
[04:48] <mayahustle> When I browse to the page.. I'm getting a database error
[04:49] <skinofstars1> Kimi: you could consider using wine. it allows you to run windows software
[04:49] <devilsadvocate> brutus, he wants voice
[04:49] <bobb> no it is out of the DHCP range, but within the subnet, so it is within 192.168.1.2 <-> 192.168.1.254
[04:49] <ripps> myron: the time I've ever got that was after messing with my nsswitch.conf
[04:50] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, still there? Can you copy/paste the output of "sudoi fdisk -l" into pastebin? (see ubottu's instructions above)
[04:50] <brutus> devilsadvocate, skype is one option then
[04:50] <bullgard4> What is a 'BoF agenda'? (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EasyFileSharing)
[04:50] <RalphSpencer> http://paste.ubuntu.com/134630/
[04:50] <deuxpi> myron: the /etc/hosts should contain a line that looks like "127.0.0.1   localhost hostname" where "hostname" is your hostname
[04:50] <myron> ripps: I don't  recall messing with nsswitch.conf but I can check it out
[04:50] <KillerOrca> bobb, just as long as it is numbered high up so there are fewer chances of collisions, you have 2 ways to do this, one is to edit a text file, which I am sure you have done the other is to use the ifconfig command in terminal
[04:51] <devilsadvocate> brutus, actually, it isnt, because all his contacts are in gtalk.
[04:51] <Chaorain2> I am trying to mount /home/user/ubuntu to /home/user/ubuntu/ubuntu this should let me in Nautalis go into the ubuntu directory unlimited times right?
[04:51] <silv3r_m00n> hi there
[04:51] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, ok, try "mkdir /tmp/F ; sudo mount /dev/6 /tmp/F ; nautilus /tmp/F"
[04:51] <raddad> Hello all.
[04:51] <bobb> killer either is fine with me, what should i used
[04:51] <myron> deuxpi: my /etc/hosts file says "127.0.0.1 localhost" and I have disable all of the ipv6 lines by commenting them out
[04:51] <Kimi> skinofstars1 wine doesnt work gtalk
[04:51] <brutus> devilsadvocate, I don't know any other voice enabled client :)
[04:51] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, oops... "sudo mount /dev/sda6 /tmp/f"
[04:52] <Kimi> skinofstars1 i mean, gtalk doesnt work with wine
[04:52] <devilsadvocate> Kimi, you can try landell
[04:52] <skinofstars1> Kimi: quick check. it is possible to connect to google talk via telepathy client
[04:52] <devilsadvocate> brutus, :)
[04:52] <Kimi> telepathy ? :O
[04:52] <silv3r_m00n> opening smb:/// in nautilus shows the workgroups ... but when going inside a workgroup like this smb://workgroup/  none of the windows computers (on the lan) are visible
[04:52] <raddad> Question, are the forums working? or does anyone else get the database error?
[04:52] <skinofstars1> Kimi: do a search on telepathy-gabble
[04:52] <Kimi> k
[04:53] <myron> I have set up a network bridge for my vbox so it will have a network ip address, should I include a linei n my /etc/hosts file for my virtual machine too?
[04:53] <silv3r_m00n> how do I make the windows computers accessible from ubuntu
[04:53] <gmazzola> raddad: You're not the only one...
[04:53] <raddad> ok. good to know.
[04:53] <a>  forums not working here also!
[04:53] <RalphSpencer> Thats not the drive I wanted..
[04:53] <kindofabuzz> silv3r_m00n, samba
[04:53] <kindofabuzz> !samba | silv3r_m00n
[04:53] <KillerOrca> bobb, I think you should try the text file first, there are a few numbers you need to get from your router page though so keep it open http://www.ubuntugeek.com/change-ubuntu-system-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address.html
[04:54] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, OK... "sudo umount /tmp/F ; sudo mount /dev/sda[pick another number] /tmp/F"
[04:54] <myron> raddad: I received a database error on another forum a minute ago (linux forum) but it wasn't ubuntu's
[04:54] <LethalP> I installed Ubuntu 8.10 inside windows and everything went fine but when i boot into Ubuntu at the boot screen then it asks for my user name and password as usual but after i log in i get a black screen with just my mouse cursor, any help?
[04:54] <silv3r_m00n> kindofabuzz: samba is installed over here
[04:54] <raddad> silv3r_m00n:  you can try setting up remote desktop using your IP to login through a web browser.
[04:54] <silv3r_m00n> raddad: I need this windows file sharing
[04:54] <RalphSpencer> Ok
[04:55] <raddad> silv3r: try using the ftp.
[04:55] <RalphSpencer> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[04:55] <raddad> yea, mount
[04:55] <raddad> that works too
[04:55] <silv3r_m00n> raddad: I have those options ... but I specifically need this file sharing option of samba
[04:55] <kindofabuzz> silv3r_m00n, then you share whatever folders you want, and windows should be able to see them. after you share a folder you have to log out then back in for it to take effect
[04:55] <RalphSpencer> Thats what came up..
[04:55] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, you can create samba shares (it behaves like windows shares)
[04:55] <deuxpi> myron: I think you can use dnsmasq if the vhost uses DHCP. If the address is static, you can give the IP address a name in the /etc/hosts file
[04:55] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: ubuntu is not able to access the windows machines
[04:56] <silv3r_m00n> windows is able to access ubuntu shares
[04:56] <error404notfound> I have used KDE and gnome and now looking for a lighter, fast and easy to use DE. any suggestions?
[04:56] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, please prefix comments with my name, makes it easier for me to see them. Which device did you use when you got the error? Try another of the devices listed in pastebin?
[04:56] <RalphSpencer> Hello? sprinkmeier_?
[04:56] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, zeroconf doesnt always work. try connecting via ip address
[04:56] <KillerOrca> bobb, sorry that was incomplete :( you need to also edit the nameserver file as described here http://linhost.info/2008/11/how-to-set-a-static-ip-on-ubuntu-810/
[04:56] <RalphSpencer> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[04:56] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: that's the thing... there are 100 computers with changing ips in this LAN
[04:57] <RalphSpencer> I got that messsage when I tried sda2..
[04:57] <raddad> windows will automatically access any shared, as long as its allowed to.
[04:57] <silv3r_m00n> raddad: yeah windows can access
[04:57] <epaphus> hey guys.. is it possible to damage your hard disks filesystem by using fsck_ffs ? (provided the hardisk itself wasnt already bad)
[04:57] <silv3r_m00n> but ubuntu can't
[04:57] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, mount can usually figure out the filesystem type automagically. if it can't then there's probably something weird going on (i.e. fix what's weird rather than specifying FS type)
[04:57] <Frogzoo> wierd amarok problem - always starts with the same song...
[04:57] <epaphus> I kinda ran fsck_ffs very fast.. and it asked me stuff like Fyn ... and I honestly hit anything and then rebooted...
[04:57] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, ah. there are also applications that can list network shares. nautilus should be able to do it, but im not sure how you get there
[04:58] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, try 8, 7, 5, 3....
[04:58] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: nautilus is showing the visible workgroups/domains ... but no computer in any of them
[04:58] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, try tksmb ?
[04:58] <silv3r_m00n> tksmb ... let me try
[04:59] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, or smb4k
[04:59] <raddad> well. as long as the forums arent working, we have installed the es1938 sound card. still no sound. we added it to /etc/modules as well.  ESS Solo 1 shows in Sounds but no sound plays. alsa has been reinstalled and alsamixer looks good.
[04:59] <myron> deuxpi: I have already configured the ip address for my virtual box, and it is static (through my router) but I was wondering if I did not include the entry for the bridged connection in /etc/hosts would it cause an unable to resolve hosts error?
[04:59] <Brando753> guys i need to know how to share the internet recieved from wifi to a comp. conected to an ethernet
[04:59] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, or xsmbrowser (sorry, im searching the repos for possibilities.. i dont remember which i used to use)
[04:59] <bullgard4> Using System > Administration > Users and Groups > Users Settings > MyUserName > Unlock > Authenticate > <Password> > Manage Groups > Add Group > Group name > Group Members > Ok > Close. When will this addition become effective?
[05:00] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: sure
[05:00] <bigrigger> unko: menu, system-preferences-sound-sound-tab
[05:00] <RalphSpencer> sprinkmeier_: Thanks! I got the drive! It was found on sda7. Will I have to do that everytime when I need that?
[05:00] <bobb> thx killer will try it
[05:00] <KillerOrca> Brando753, umm could you be more specific?
[05:01] <KillerOrca> bobb, np it took forever for me to get it working, should have written it down
[05:01] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, add it to /etc/fstab. best way to do that is to pastebin /etc/mtab and then "sudo nano /etc/fstab", I'll give you the line to add based on mtab
[05:01] <bullgard4> Using System > Administration > Users and Groups > Users Settings > MyUserName > Unlock > Authenticate > <Password> > Manage Groups > Add Group > Group name > Group Members > Ok > Close. When will this addition become effective? 'groups' does not show any change.
[05:01] <bigrigger> bullgard4: should be active immediately.
[05:01] <raddad> any help with the es1938? (question already sent above)
[05:01] <deuxpi> myron: I don't think it is a problem. /etc/hosts is just for assigning host names. It doesn't "do" something
[05:01] <LethalP> I installed Ubuntu 8.10 inside windows and everything went fine but when i boot into Ubuntu at the boot screen then it asks for my user name and password as usual but after i log in i get a black screen with just my mouse cursor, any help?
[05:02] <Brando753> KillerOrca: I have a laptop connected to the internet via wifi, i have a ethernet cable connecting the laptop to a desktop, i wish to give the desktop internet :D
[05:02] <bullgard4> bigrigger: But groups does not show any change.
[05:02] <RalphSpencer> sprinkmeier_: Sorry, I'm unable to understand what you mean. Could you say that again?
[05:02] <bigrigger> bullgard4: try sudo updatedb   in a terminal
[05:02] <devilsadvocate> !ics | Brando753
[05:03] <KillerOrca> Brando753, alright can you not connect the desktop to the router?  What is running on both computers?
[05:03] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: the thing is that I just need ubuntu to be able to access the windows share... nothing on ubuntu is to be shared ... so do I need to start the samba daemon ?
[05:03] <brad__> so does anyone know what I need to do to debug a kernel panic after booting 8.10 and 9.04?
[05:03] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, pastebin your /etc/mtab. It contains the mount commands currently active. One of those needs to be copied to /etc/fstab. To edit that file you need the command "sudo nano /etc/fstab".
[05:03] <Brando753> both are ubuntu :D And firestarter says "Eth0 (ethernet cable) is not ready"
[05:03] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, i dont think so, but im not sure
[05:03] <myron> deuxpi: /etc/hosts is for resolving fdqn right? I know its not causing me a problem, but I have always wondered why it can't resolve my hostname when using the sudo command...
[05:04] <RalphSpencer> Oh ok..
[05:04] <RalphSpencer> !pastebin | RalphSpencer
[05:04] <AmyRose> I installed Intrepid on my friend's laptop last month using Wubi, and she's been getting kernel panics almost daily. She's got a Compaq Presario C700. We did manage to get wifi working on it with the ath5k driver.
[05:04] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: xsmbrowser  works better ... it now lists the visible computers in the workgroups
[05:04] <AmyRose> She's been keeping up to date
[05:04] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, i'll try to remember that. thanks :)
[05:04] <bullgard4> bigrigger: I have done 'sudo updatedb'. There is no change.
[05:05] <KillerOrca> Brando753, not sure if you saw but someone else sent you a link for internet connection sharing if you scroll up, hope it helps
[05:05] <bullgard4> What is a 'BoF agenda'? (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EasyFileSharing)
[05:05] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: so why doesn't nautilus or konqueror do the same using smb://
[05:05] <bigrigger> bullgard4: open it again, do you see it
[05:05] <silv3r_m00n> is there some configuration problem ?
[05:05] <tritium> bullgard4: Birds of a Feather
[05:06] <frybye> anybody using yahoo messenger via wine in intrepid? (Neighbours here with many overseas contacts can't do without y-messenger when switching to ubuntu.)
[05:06] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, well, it works for me on dolphin... i havent tried it receently on konq and nautilus
[05:06] <RalphSpencer> sprinkmeier_: Thats posted here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/134634/
[05:06] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, i seem to remember it used to work
[05:06] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: yes it works in dolphin for me too
[05:06] <raddad> frybye: pidgin can do yahoo messenger. and many others
[05:06] <frybye> yeah but not the voice + video or???
[05:06] <tritium> frybye: correct
[05:06] <deuxpi> myron: if I change the hostname momentarily "sudo hostname dummy", I also get "sudo: unable to resolve host dummy"
[05:07] <bigrigger> bullgard4: grep new-group-name /etc/group
[05:07] <Intel69> hay
[05:07] <Kimi> skinofstars1 i did search on telepathy gabble ,.. but didnt get one for ubuntu..... can you plz help me with the exact web page ?
[05:07] <frybye> raddad: and exactly that is what this folks need to have a decent contact with extended familys all over the place...
[05:07] <deuxpi> myron:  so my guess is that sudo is trying to resolve the hostname
[05:07] <Intel69> Any of you guys ever use DEBUGFS ncheck to try to see if a hard-disk block contains any data? Mine has been running for 45 mins without an answer for a single block
[05:07] <oDesk> hello, i've installed version of Ubuntu 7.10 and i want to upgrade to Jaunty 9 from the CD
[05:08] <bullgard4> tritium: And what is meant by "Birds of a Feather"?  I am familiar with an everyday phrase 'Birds of Feather'. But I cannot link this phrase to Ubuntu. (My native language is not English.)
[05:08] <oDesk> how i would go ?
[05:08] <devilsadvocate> oDesk, that is not a very good idea.
[05:08] <frybye> looks like I will just have to give y-messenger a fly on my intrepid box here and hope to be able to sort any problems with it...
[05:08] <oDesk> devilsadvocate: but my files.. installations..
[05:08] <raddad> anyone know how to get the snd-es1938 to work? the card shows in lspci, its listed in sys-pref-sounds, also added to etc/modules, alsa was reinstalled and not muted
[05:08] <RalphSpencer> Sir sprinkmeier_?
[05:08] <aijnknknj> i just got a brand new harddrive from newegg. how can i check it to see if its not bad
[05:08] <tritium> bullgard4: informal meetings
[05:09] <aijnknknj> is there a chkdisk command like windows
[05:09] <devilsadvocate> oDesk, you should upgrade from 7.10>8.04>8.10>9.04 , and it would be easier on the network (although i concede pretty heavy on bandwidth usage)
[05:09] <raddad> aijnknknj: mount the drive
[05:09] <aijnknknj> yeah um i plugged it in and i never had to mount it
[05:09] <myron> deuxpi: ok, so if you change your hostname back to the regular name, you no longer get the unable to resolve host error right?
[05:09] <oDesk> devilsadvocate: what about the desk space required to do all these upgrades
[05:09] <aijnknknj> i just started copying files fine
[05:09] <ReLieC_93_> fwe
[05:09] <devilsadvocate> oDesk, a direct upgrade from 7.10 > 9.04 can be tortorous
[05:09] <tritium> bullgard4: birds of a feather flock together, so these are informal meetings between people interested in common topics
[05:09] <deuxpi> myron: exactly
[05:09] <raddad> aijnknknj: then its presumably not bad if it works fine. :D
[05:10] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, use the nano command above to add "/dev/sda7 /mnt/F_DRIVE ntfs    defaults,ro 0 1" to fstab. the ",ro" makes the partition read-only. Given that the NTFS spec isn't publically available (and changes occasionally) this is safer.
[05:10] <devilsadvocate> oDesk, should not be much. i'd keep about a GB of free space or so
[05:10] <ReLieC_93_> lkj
[05:10] <ReLieC_93_> hy
[05:10] <devilsadvocate> oDesk, you should do an apt-cache clean occasionally to free up some space if you have a disk size problem
[05:10] <RalphSpencer> Sir, could you please give me the command that can directly be pasted into the file?
[05:11] <lclark> Automagic login to #ubuntu?  Clever.
[05:11] <myron> deuxpi: alright, so I am getting this error message because sudo can't resolve my hostname between /etc/hosts andwhat other fole/plaec?
[05:11] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: I see that xsmbrowser doesn't work if samba daemon is not running
[05:11] <bullgard4> tritium: "~$ grep sambashare /etc/group; sambashare: x:1001:detlef" So I added the group 'sambashare' successfully. But when will it becom effective?
[05:11] <myron> file/place*
[05:11] <brad__> is there anyway to debug a kernel panic from the livecd? That prevents fully booting and being able to install?
[05:11] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, oh... and also "sudo mkdir /mnt/F_DRIVE" to create the directory. did you "sudo umount /tmp/F" when you were trying to find the right partition? it looks like /tmp/F is mounted a few times :-)
[05:11] <tritium> bullgard4: for the user you're currently logged in as?  Upon your next login.
[05:12] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, nano is a text editor, it's fairly easy to use. fire it up using "sudo nano /etc/fstab" then paste in the line I gave you (you can highlight it, then middle-mouse-click to paste it into the terminal running nano).
[05:12] <sprinkmeier_> !terminal | RalphSpencer
[05:12] <bullgard4> tritium: Yes: for the user I am currently logged in. -- Thank you very much for your help.
[05:12] <tritium> bullgard4: no problem.  You saw the explanation above about BOFs?
[05:12] <deuxpi> myron: sudo would probably be happy with your hostname pointing to something 127.0.0.1 or 127.0.1.1
[05:13] <Kimi> will anyone plz help with a client to do voice chat with Gtalk ???
[05:13] <Kimi> i mean, i need an direct solution plz./ not googling
[05:13] <saxofoner> anybody up for helping me with grub problems?
[05:13] <deuxpi> myron: I have three systems, and they each have a different /etc/hosts configuration...
[05:14] <bullgard4> tritium: Ye, I did see it. I am still wondering if these "people interested in common topics" are of any relevance to Ubuntu developers.
[05:14] <saxofoner> I can't get my Archlinux system to boot.  I can't check the filesystem for the kernel because ubuntu can't read ext4 yet
[05:14] <oDesk> devilsadvocate: so if i've 2G, i can apply all upgrades!..  apt-cache clean  #-> invalid operation clean
[05:14] <raddad> kimi: refer to here http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:faJ2UKxCrBgJ:ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php%3Ft%3D246717+ubuntu+gtalk+voice&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a
[05:14] <ziroday> saxofoner: then you need to ask the archlinux fols
[05:14] <tritium> bullgard4: yes, BOFs occur at ubuntu developers summits, typically
[05:14] <devilsadvocate> oDesk, let me check the command
[05:14] <raddad> note: its a google cached work around to read something from the forum. :D
[05:15] <devilsadvocate> oDesk, my apologies. it was apt-get clean
[05:15] <bullgard4> tritium: Ah, thank you very much for explaining.

[05:16] <KillerOrca> bobb, any luck yet?
[05:16] <devilsadvocate> ultimately depends on how many applications you have, but i would be surprised if you need more than 1g per upgrade
[05:16] <Kimi> devilsadvocate plz.. dont ask me to google... give me a direct page for oDesk
[05:16] <ReLieC_93_> hy uga
[05:16] <oDesk> devilsadvocate: thanks
[05:16] <myron> deuxpi: My /etc/hostname file reads "ubuntu" and my /etc/hosts file reads "127.0.0.1 ubuntu" and I have also tried replacing ubuntu with localhost in the /etc/hosts file, but either way I receive the sudo error
[05:16] <devilsadvocate> oDesk, ^
[05:17] <devilsadvocate> Kimi, hm?

[05:19] <MHz128> how do I install GTK 2.12 for compiling aurora themes....?
[05:19] <bigrigger> myron: in /etc/hosts put ubuntu after the 127.0.1.1 line, the second line, first line is localhost
[05:19] <RalphSpencer> sprinkmeier_: /dev/sda7 /mnt/F_DRIVE ntfs defaults,ro 0 1 is this the line I have to paste into /etc/fstab ?
[05:19] <devilsadvocate> Kimi, no.. its not. landell might be, so is telepathy-client
[05:19] <sprinkmeier_> RalphSpencer, yes.
[05:19] <Kimi> devilsadvocate... plz give me to its official download page.... or is it in synpatic ?
[05:20] <RalphSpencer> Ok thanks
[05:20] <tritium> MHz128: sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2-dev
[05:20] <myron> bigrigger: do you mean 127.0.0.1? If so, I have tried my /etc/hosts file like that, but sudo still gave me the unable to resolve host error.
[05:20] <MHz128> sorry, what was that
[05:20] <RalphSpencer> Now rebooting should do things all right, eh?
[05:21] <tritium> MHz128: sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2-dev.  Don't leave so fast next time.  ;)
[05:21] <jlink> lack. How do I go back to the old resolution now?
[05:21] <devilsadvocate> Kimi, its in synaptic
[05:21] <eltimbalino_> Hi All, I would like to rename my fstab file, but I get the error "you are not the owner" Can anyone post a link to a help section on this?
[05:21] <MHz128> tritium, sloppy mouse work... my fault!
[05:21] <jlink> ...I was messing around with my screen resolution, and now my screen is all black. How do I go back to the old resolution now?
[05:21] <tritium> MHz128: no worries
[05:21] <RalphSpencer> brb
[05:21] <MHz128> tritium, 1.2?
[05:21] <bigrigger> myron: first line 127.0.0.1 localhost, line two 127.0.1.1 ubuntu
[05:21] <Brandon_> !wine | brandon
[05:22] <tritium> MHz128: that's the version you asked for above...
[05:22] <tritium> MHz128: ah, my bad.  Sorry.
[05:22] <MHz128> I guess the latest version would be of more use?
[05:22] <myron> bigrigger: just clarifying that second line is 127.0.1.1 right?
[05:22] <bigrigger> eltimbalino_: do not rename fstab!
[05:22] <ReLieC_93_> hyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
[05:22] <bigrigger> myron: correct
[05:23] <tritium> MHz128: the latest I see in the repos is libgtk2.0-dev
[05:23] <myron> bigrigger: I think I had it set up that way, I'll check to be sure... I'll be back in a minute
[05:23] <eltimbalino_> Thanks bigrigger, but I want to rename fstab_backup to fstab and rename fstab to fstab_failed
[05:23] <jlink> If my screen went completely black during a resolution change, how do I switch back?
[05:24] <Kimi> landell is not in synpatic
[05:24] <KillerOrca> jlink, ctrl + alt + backspace restarts X I believe
[05:24] <Kimi> devilsadvocate landell is not in synaptic
[05:24] <nate_> Hi I am having trouble with my e-SATA PCI Express card for my laptop. Can anyone help me because i need to mount my hard drive
[05:24] <jlink> KillerOrca: Nothing's coming up on my screen :/
[05:25] <jlink> The green light's on, but nothing's showing up
[05:25] <devilsadvocate> kimi - telepathy-client . landell is pretty old, i dont know if it still exists etc
[05:25] <KillerOrca> jlink, no if you hit those keys it should restart your graphics, give it a shot
[05:26] <jlink> KillerOrca: I did.
[05:26] <Kimi> devilsadvocate in synaptic , telepathy shows many results ... which one to install
[05:26] <KillerOrca> jlink, ok try ctrl + alt +f1
[05:27] <jlink> KillerOrca: Doesn't work either.
[05:28] <jlink> KillerOrca: I just rebooted my machine, and after sitting at the login screen for a few seconds, the screen went irreversibly black again.
[05:28] <Kimi> devilsadvocate there are many telepathy in synaptic..... how to choose and install ?? i mean which ones to install ??
[05:28] <KillerOrca> jlink, strange that should take you to a terminal, when you reboot do you see the splash menu?
[05:28] <bullgard4> "smb: \> get config.autosave; NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED opening remote file \config.autosave" How can I get rid of this error message? (I have googled for it for hours and cannot find a remedy.)
[05:29] <julian> can anyone suggest some video effects programs
[05:29] <Kimi> devilsadvocate what do you say about this link ? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-voice-chat-with-google-talk-user-using-empathy.html
[05:29] <Dreamglider> julian, visual effect ?
[05:30] <MHz128> While using the command line, what does "./" mean..... thats period-dot-slash
[05:30] <julian> creatina movie with special effects, like adobe after effects
[05:30] <myron> bigrigger: I just double checked. I changed line 1 to "127.0.0.1 localhost" and line 2 to " 127.0.1.1 ubuntu" I still receive the unable to resolve host error from sudo
[05:30] <jlink> KillerOrca: I fixed it. I rebooted, then logged in as quick as possible and changed the res before it went black again
[05:30] <jlink> Now I gotta figure out how to get my WoW working in WINE
[05:30] <Dreamglider> MHz128,  that's a hidden file/folder
[05:31] <MHz128> Dreamglider, what about when it's in front of a command like ./configure
[05:31] <Dreamglider> MHz128, o im probably wrong sorry
[05:31] <nisink> means execute it
[05:32] <KillerOrca> jlink, that's one way to do it I guess, If your card can support WoW then you should be able to install wine and get it working
[05:32] <tritium> MHz128: it's used because the current working directory is not in your path, so you need to specify it to run configure, or whichever you're trying to run, from the directory you're in.
[05:32] <jlink> What's the ATI drivers called in Ubuntu?
[05:32] <jlink> Not the proprietary ones
[05:33] <MHz128> tritium, oh, so where would configure be?
[05:33] <KillerOrca> jlink, not sure, you might have to wait until the forums are up again, my googles are returning helpful looking dead links
[05:33] <saxofoner> http://pastebin.com/m5e786f69 this is what my partitions look like, http://pastebin.com/m12c47d3f is my broken (errors for arch) menu.lst   I want to be able to boot archlinux.  any help?
[05:33] <uciek> yureka
[05:34] <tritium> MHz128: in the directory of the source you unpacked
[05:34] <MHz128> oh
[05:34] <jlink> Great
[05:35] <KillerOrca> jlink, this might be some help http://appdb.winehq.org/
[05:35] <devilsadvocate> Kimi, sorry.. i was otherwise distracted for a while. Yes, that link looks good :) let me know if it works out for you :)
[05:35] <Kimi> devilsadvocate okk
[05:36] <bigrigger> eltimbalino_:  sudo mv /etc/fstab  /home/$USER/fstab_failed ; sudo mv /etc/fstab_backup /etc/fstab
[05:36] <millertime_018> hey does anyone know if there's a way to get around a built in HDD user password?
[05:37] <xorl> millertime_018: what do you mean by that?
[05:37] <bigrigger> myron: try typing hostname ubuntu
[05:37] <jlink> KillerOrca: I think I'm having graphical problems, to tell you the truth. When I load WoW, I'm getting all sorts of crazy crap happening on my screen
[05:37] <millertime_018> it comes up at the start and the girl that wants me to fix it for her said she forgot it
[05:37] <jlink> KillerOrca: I can't even really navigate the menus or anything
[05:37] <n2diy> does abiword do syntax checking?
[05:37] <devilsadvocate> millertime_018, is that a hdd password or bios password?
[05:37] <millertime_018> xorl: a HDD password
[05:37] <KillerOrca> jlink, in the link I sent there is a section for WoW, in there they have ATI card fixes, I would try those
[05:38] <jlink> KillerOrca: I think this site has stuff on it... nevermind, what you just said, about WoW. Thanks
[05:38] <myron> bigrigger: but that would just set my host name to ubnutu temporarily (which it already is0
[05:38] <millertime_018> devilsadvocate: HDD password
[05:39] <lanteau> anyone in here use a bluetooth headset with ubuntu?
[05:39] <bigrigger> myron: i know, but i don't know what else might work.
[05:39] <xorl> millertime_018: Well there are many types of "HDD" passwords, bios based hdd protection, encrypted volumes, what?
[05:39] <bullgard4> "smb: \> get config.autosave; NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED opening remote file \config.autosave" How can I get rid of this error message? (I have googled for it for hours and cannot find a remedy.)
[05:40] <bigrigger> millertime_018: a bios password?
[05:40] <millertime_018> it's not an encrypted volume... i think it may be bios based
[05:40] <myron> bigrigger: I tried it, but it still gave an unable to resolve host error
[05:40] <millertime_018> bigrigger: no not bios password, HDD password
[05:40] <ScottG489> How can I get ubuntu to recognise my laptops webcam and mic?
[05:40] <B|ackPanther> How can i have one desktop panel that contains the "applications places system " menuitems and also add new opened windows to the panel ?
[05:41] <millertime_018> xorl: well it just comes up with a password prompt at startup, please enter built-in HDD password
[05:41] <millertime_018> like right when I start up
[05:41] <Kimi> devilsadvocate Hey..!! it worked champ..! i did solve it myself B-)
[05:41] <n2diy> BlackPanther, don't you have two panels?
[05:41] <Kimi> Devilsadvocate : are you there ? it worked ... hurrrah !
[05:41] <myron> bigrigger: I wonder if there is a sudo configuration that I could check?
[05:41] <bigrigger> myron: wild guess but use tabs between the entries in /etc/hosts and be sure /etc/hostname matches
[05:42] <KillerOrca> leave
[05:42] <jlink> KillerOrca: It seems I'm having even larger problems than I thought. My screen is white with grey pinstripes all over it.
[05:42] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: doesn't nautilus/konqueror use the smbclient ?
[05:42] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, afaik it does.
[05:42] <millertime_018> xorl: hello?
[05:42] <devilsadvocate> Kimi, nice. /me installs :)
[05:42] <myron> bigrigger: ok I'll try to put tabs between the entries
[05:43] <silv3r_m00n> then xmbrowser , xmb4k and tksmb all work ... but nautilus doesn't
[05:43] <silv3r_m00n> why ?
[05:43] <moDumass> hey you guys drink coffee - im looking for a channel to help me not break my new espresso machine on first try - any help since #coffee is up to FA

[05:43] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: smb://workgroup/   << this shows blank in konqueror and nautilus but the rest 3 utilities show all computers on share
[05:43] <Kimi> what happened to ubuntu forum ? :( :-(
[05:44] <Myztikal_1> errr, is there any ubuntu tutes out there for beginners :S
[05:44] <juniecho> kimi//maybe going through some fix :)
[05:44] <Kimi> ok.. B-)
[05:44] <rww> Kimi: It's experiencing technical difficulties right now. That happens pretty frequently. Should be back up soon.
[05:44] <Myztikal_1> i've just installed ubuntu 8.10
[05:44] <Myztikal_1> test
[05:44] <Myztikal_1> "S
[05:44] <myron> bigrigger: yeah, I've been rebooting after  most changes (except "hostname ubuntu") which shouldn't require a reboot. I'll be right back
[05:44] <rww> Myztikal_1: hi
[05:44] <Kimi> devilsadvocate have you installed gtalk alternative ?? any quick tip for me ?
[05:44] <juniecho> hi guys how do i prevent adobe flash player from being updated? i want to hold current version but sudo aptitude hold adobe-flashplugin didn't work, couldn't find the package with that name.
[05:44] <n2diy> does abiword do syntax checking?
[05:45] <Myztikal_1> err how do i use this sudo thingo?
[05:45] <rww> juniecho: the package name should be "flashplugin-nonfree"
[05:45] <rww> Myztikal_1: sudo command_to_run_as_root_here
[05:45] <rww> Myztikal_1: or gksudo command_to_run_as_root for non-terminal programs
[05:45] <Myztikal_1> like for example i want to get the common plugins for firefox
[05:45] <n2diy> Myztikal_1: open a terminial, and type sudo commandname
[05:45] <juniecho> rww, even if it appears as adobe-flashplugin in synaptic?
[05:45] <devilsadvocate> Kimi, not right now
[05:46] <Myztikal_1> where can i get a list of the command names
[05:46] <millertime_018> hellO?
[05:46] <eamon> stronzo
[05:46] <Myztikal_1> i'm another ubuntu firstime user
[05:46] <DIFH-iceroot> millertime_018: hello
[05:46] <n2diy> Myztikal_1: open a terminial, and type man bash?
[05:46] <eamon>  you asshole
[05:46] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: in xsmbrowser even my computer is shown... how do I disable that
[05:46] <rww> !ohmy > eamon
[05:47] <rww> juniecho: there is no adobe-flashplugin package in the Ubuntu repositories =/
[05:47] <bigrigger> myron: did you edit network manager settings? like domain name
[05:47] <eamon> screw you you loser
[05:47] <n2diy> !ops
[05:47] <DIFH-iceroot> rww: of course there is  adobe-flashplugin = flash 10  flashplugin-nonfree=flash 9
[05:47] <tritium> n2diy: I already removed him
[05:48] <n2diy> tritium: 10-4
[05:48] <rww> DIFH-iceroot: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=adobe-flashplugin
[05:48] <tritium> rww: flashplugin-nonfree
[05:48] <Myztikal_1> !list
[05:48] <rww> tritium: I know, I said that.
[05:48] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, no idea. not sure if its even possible ...
[05:48] <tritium> rww: if you can't find a package, use apt-cache searxch
[05:48] <DIFH-iceroot> rww: michael@eeebuntu:~$ apt-cache search adobe-flashplugin
[05:48] <DIFH-iceroot> adobe-flashplugin - Adobe Flash Player plugin version 10
[05:49] <bigrigger> tritium: rww knows that.
[05:49] <juniecho> rww, i ran sudo aptitude hold flashplugin-nonfree, but it is gonna remove two packages! is it normal?
[05:49] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: why ... I shud have an option to keep my computer out of network visibility ... or is that that xsmbrowser just shows it to me.
[05:49] <DIFH-iceroot> rww: its 8.10 and 8.04 backport
[05:49] <juniecho> it says "  localechooser-data{u} thunderbird-locale-en-gb{u} " are going to be removed, is it okay to just proceed?
[05:49] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, oh, you want to disable samba server, in a manner of  speaking
[05:50] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, im not entirely sure how that is done
[05:50] <rww> DIFH-iceroot: I'm guessing it's in the partner repository, because it sure isn't in any of the normal ones.
[05:50] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: I need to access other machines ... the others don't need to access me
[05:50] <bluestaze> y
[05:50] <rww> juniecho: Which two?
[05:50] <silv3r_m00n> me on ubuntu rest on windows
[05:50] <DIFH-iceroot> rww: yes, partner-repo
[05:51] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, i understand. i just dont remember how its done. you'll have to look into samba configuration
[05:51] <juniecho> rww, it says "  localechooser-data{u} thunderbird-locale-en-gb{u} " are going to be removed, is it okay to just proceed?
[05:51] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: looks like that
[05:51] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, i see an app called system-settings-samba .  that might help?
[05:51] <DIFH-iceroot> rww: http://archive.canonical.com hardy/partner Packages
[05:51] <n2diy> I want to create a webpage, but I can't figure out if abiword will do syntax checking. I'm running Xubuntu, so what would be my second best option for a text editor?
[05:51] <B|ackPanther> what application do i have to run to show all open windows ,something GUI based like a panel
[05:51] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: by the way this tool TkSmb just display at one shot and then no options no menus nothing
[05:52] <nisink> Hey I'm doing some research and was wondering if anyone has a few seconds to take a short survey. It can be found here: http://www.theofficeoutletonline.com/survey.html
[05:52] <jlink> Alright, this is getting dumb. After about 5 minutes of every reboot, my screen turns completely white with dark gray stripes down it. It's obviously a video issue, but I don't even know where to begin
[05:52] <nisink> Thanks
[05:52] <FloodBot2> nisink: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:52] <DIFH-iceroot> rww: and canoncial = ubuntu, so there is adobe-flashplugin in the ubuntu-repos :)
[05:52] <myron> bigrigger: i just rebooted after the tabs, no luck
[05:52] <bigrigger> myron: did you edit network manager settings? like domain name
[05:52] <rww> DIFH-iceroot: Canonical does not equal Ubuntu. But, this is wandering off-topic.
[05:53] <devilsadvocate> ok, i need some help with ICS. everything works fine, except DNS resolutions dont happen from applications.. an nslookup from terminal does work, though
[05:53] <rww> juniecho: those should be okay to remove, yes.
[05:53] <juniecho> DIFH-iceroot, i manually downloaded adobe flash player from adobe.com, maybe that's why i have this package named adobe-flashplugin. hmm. but sudo aptitude hold adobe-flashplugin does not work, and it works with flashplugin-nonfree. strange.
[05:53] <DIFH-iceroot> n2diy: please dont use abiword, openoffice or something like that for a web-page, please use vi,gedit,kate,kwrite oder mozilla nvu as wysiwyg-html-editor
[05:54] <myron> bigrigger: no there is no domain name, it is blank
[05:54] <DIFH-iceroot> juniecho: as i said, adobe-flashplugin = flash 10, flashplugin-nonfree = flash 9
[05:54] <juniecho> rww, how can i confirm if i sucessfully issued hold on adobe flash player package?
[05:54] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: do you know how samba discovers nodes... does it do somekind of broadcasting ?
[05:54] <bigrigger> myron: it's a bug i don't know how to fix.
[05:55] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, there is this microsoft-ds port open on stuff with samba shares, i believe that is what is responsible
[05:55] <juniecho> i think i should not update this package... that package in repo causes problems when i watch viral videos :(
[05:55] <myron> bigrigger: I know, do you know anything about the actual sudo configuration?
[05:55] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, there is no broadcasting perse, from what i know of, but they work only within a domain
[05:55] <husayn> how to configure tftpd on linux
[05:55] <bigrigger> jlink: read the /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[05:56] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: but 1 computer has to know who else is there
[05:56] <n2diy> DIFH-iceroot: ok, thats cool. Do they all do syntax highlighting/checking?
[05:56] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: how does that proceed ?
[05:56] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, i dont know
[05:56] <rww> juniecho: "aptitude search ~ahold", I think.
[05:56] <DIFH-iceroot> n2diy: not checking but highlighting
[05:56] <DIFH-iceroot> n2diy: for syntax-check use the w3c validator
[05:56] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: hmm ... well here in smb4k I see that for some computers the ip is also shown and not for some ... what difference does that indicate ?
[05:56] <bigrigger> n2diy: try bluefish or screem
[05:56] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, kblin might be able to help, i dnt know which channels he hangs out on though
[05:57] <juniecho> rww, it generates no result. does it mean no packages are held at this time?
[05:57] <silv3r_m00n> n2diy: try aptana studio
[05:57] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: who's is kblin ?
[05:57] <nisink> #join /linux
[05:57] <silv3r_m00n> who is*
[05:57] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, samba dev
[05:57] <husayn> how to work on tftp
[05:57] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: oh.. and where can I find him ?
[05:58] <rww> juniecho: that's odd. Try using the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto#Introduction%20to%20Holding%20Packages instead =/
[05:58] <husayn> put .........?? and get ????
[05:58] <bigrigger> myron: with sudo or root access yes, otherwise no. it's a bug
[05:58] <devilsadvocate> silv3r_m00n, i generally see him on #gsoc
[05:58] <ScottG489> How can I get ubuntu to recognise my laptops webcam and mic?
[05:58] <n2diy> ok, as usual, my simple quest has turned into a research project, linux is cool, thanks.
[05:58] <silv3r_m00n> devilsadvocate: fine .. let me go there

[06:06] <ziroday> Hi, my system uncleanly shutdown causing a fsck on the next boot. It found errors and dropped me into a maintenance shell and told me to do a manual fsck. How do I do that?
[06:06] <tritium> jlink: do the open-source ati drivers not work for your needs?>
[06:07] <ziroday> and should I be worried?
[06:07] <juniecho> tritium, isn't that 3d features are only supported through proprietary drivers?
[06:07] <jlink> tritium: Honestly, I dont know.

[06:09] <juniecho> ..............................jlink, congratulations :) (?)
[06:09] <tritium> jlink: ok

[06:12] <tritium> jlink: which release of ubuntu are you running?
[06:13] <jlink> 8.10 Desktop 64bit
[06:13] <juniecho> jlink too bad... hmm i heard ati's support for linux is kinda bad, actually i'm a nvidia user and had no problems with their drivers so far ...
[06:13] <musikgoat> bullgard4: if your in a workgroup, try seeing if you get a list of shares and workgroup info with smbclient -L \\localhost
[06:13] <bobbie4> the ubuntu rocks my world
[06:13] <jlink> It seems hit or miss, mostly miss right now
[06:14] <tritium> jlink: have you tried the 32bit version?  I'm unfamiliar with ATI drivers, so I don't know if there are differences between their 32-bit and 64-bit drivers.

[06:14] <seektherapy> I cant understand what i am doing wrong.. i am trying to install php, apache and mysql.. and i think i am doing this wrong
[06:15] <seektherapy> can someone help
[06:15] <tritium> seektherapy: are you installing it on ubuntu server?
[06:15] <balarka> hello
[06:15] <musikgoat> bullgard4: or you cannot write to the remote location
[06:15] <balarka> can anyone suggest latest pango-devel package on ubuntu
[06:15] <jlink> tritium: Honestly, I'm not sure why I went 64bit instead of 32bit. I've got 4GB of ram, which is the limit for 32bit, so I'm not sure if I'll actually lose anything by switching.
[06:15] <seektherapy> yes.. hold on.. i need let my dog outside
[06:15] <sprinkmeier_> devilsadvocate, had something similar, turned out to be a multicast-DNS issue. Your domain doesn't end in .local by any chance?
[06:16] <tritium> jlink: you might try the 32-bit version.
[06:16] <gartral> why does the ubuntu system monitor take between 45 and 60% of my proc at all times that its running?
[06:16] <bullgard4> musikgoat: "detlef@T42: /$ smbclient -L \\localhost; Error connecting to 127.0.0.1 (Connection refused); Connection to localhost failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONN'ECTION_REFUSED)"
[06:16] <xSlack> How do i unrar a .rar archive in ubuntu
[06:16] <devilsadvocate> sprinkmeier_, not that i know of
[06:16] <juniecho> jlink, can 32-bit version handle all the 4gb ram?
[06:16] <Slart> jlink: you will lose some memory then
[06:16] <bobbie4> Ubuntu and McEwan's Scotch. A lovely combination if I do say so myself
[06:16] <devilsadvocate> sprinkmeier_, oh wait. routes has <hostname>.l and gets cut off there
[06:17] <tritium> juniecho: 3 GB
[06:17] <devilsadvocate> sprinkmeier_, how do i change that/why did that happen? :/
[06:17] <musikgoat> bullgard4: are you attempting to write to something you have permission to write to?
[06:17] <sprinkmeier_> devilsadvocate, ok. "all applications" include things like ping? just wondering if it's a proxy issue rather than a DNS one.
[06:17] <Slart> jlink: 4GB is max but it uses some of that for hardware mapping and such... usually you get about 3G usable memory
[06:17] <Dreamglider> Slart, double click it
[06:17] <juniecho> tritium thanks
[06:17] <tritium> juniecho: aye.  For more info, see what Slart said above.
[06:17] <Slart> Dreamglider: huh?
[06:18] <bullgard4> musikgoat: No, I do not think so. I was trying to get a file from a neighboring Ubuntu laptop computer.
[06:18] <sprinkmeier_> devilsadvocate, any domain ending in .local is assumed to use multicast DNS. look at  /etc/host.conf, check for "multi" and remove it (back up file first!
[06:18] <B|ackPanther> How can i get the panel to dispaly just icons not names ?
[06:18] <jlink> Is there any difference between 32bit and 64bit, besides the RAM limit>
[06:18] <Dreamglider> Slart, sry that was for xSlack
[06:18] <juniecho> tritium, slart, thanks but this is strange. i have 4gb of ram and am on 32bit, it shows only 2.8GiB of ram total...!?
[06:18] <tritium> jlink: flash and java used to be less supported on 64-bit.  I'm not sure of the status on those now.
[06:18] <devilsadvocate> sprinkmeier_, i'll try that. setup is a little too complicated to try and explain, esp. if its something mroe trivial :)
[06:18] <Slart> Dreamglider: ah =)
[06:18] <musikgoat> bullgard4: the other computer might be sharing read-only
[06:18] <musikgoat> bullgard4: you'd have to change that setting
[06:19] <Slart> juniecho: yup.. how much graphics memory do you have?
[06:19] <balarka> folks, anyone here working on java-gnome project?
[06:19] <juniecho> slart, i don't have dedicated graphic memory... assigned 128mb ram for graphic. do you think that's the reason?
[06:19] <Thi> tritium, flash is better supported in 64 bit under a recent version 10 build if I remember correctly
[06:19] <jlink> tritium: Are there any benefits to 64bit over 32bit?
[06:19] <gartral> juniecho: i technically have 512 in my system, but ubuntu only sees 502 mb
[06:20] <juniecho> jlink, it is slightly faster
[06:20] <devilsadvocate> sprinkmeier_, do i need to restart network after that?
[06:20] <musikgoat> gartral: your video card might be using ram
[06:20] <Slart> juniecho: that might be one thing.. it probably uses memory for other things too
[06:20] <jshriver> anyone know what the deal is with Flash and Firefox and no sound?
[06:20] <jshriver> just went through maybe 20 sites, and nothing works
[06:20] <gartral> jlink: more threads per proc is the main one, but the bi advantage comes if you want *more* than 4 gigs of ram
[06:20] <sprinkmeier_> devilsadvocate,  shouldn't. try "ping", it uses the resolver lib, so it should indicate if it's working or not.
[06:20] <Slart> juniecho: or rather.. it doesn't use the memory but it uses up the addresses
[06:20] <tritium> jlink: no performance gains, just larger address space
[06:20] <seektherapy> ok back tritium
[06:20] <gartral> why does the ubuntu system monitor take between 45 and 60% of my proc at all times that its running?
[06:20] <juniecho> Slart what does it mean? i'm not a computer expert :(
[06:21] <seektherapy> can you just help me uninstalled it all .. then reinstall
[06:21] <seektherapy> join the juniecho
[06:21] <seektherapy> club
[06:21] <tritium> seektherapy: have you seen this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP ?
[06:22] <juniecho> and one more question, it is possible to use native linux programs on windows?
[06:22] <musikgoat> juniecho: cygwin
[06:22] <Slart> juniecho: ok, just to simplify things... say your computer can address memory from 1 to 10.. you've got 10 bytes of memory too.. ok?
[06:23] <Slart> juniecho: so far so good.. you want to see what is in memory cell 1 you ask for memory "1".. and so on.. you can read all your memory, nothing is wasted
[06:24] <juniecho> slart... yeah :)
[06:24] <arnducky> What's the command to show the installed version of *Ubuntu* (I don't mean uname)?
[06:24] <uid01> uname -a
[06:24] <prince_jammys> arnducky: lsb_release -a
[06:24] <bullgard4> musikgoat: On the neighboring computer: smb.conf includes the lines: "path = /home/detlef/freigegebenMD; guest ok = yes; read only = no; available = yes; browsable = yes; public = yes; writable = yes". So I guess that my serving computer is configured correctly. I am rather concerned with the slave computer:  "detlef@T42: /$ smbclient -L \\localhost; Error connecting to 127.0.0.1 (Connection refused); Connection to localhost failed (Error 
[06:24] <Slart> juniecho: but now you connect something to your computer.. it's a electronic display that displays one number only..(like a score board but with only one teams score).. you then say that everything you write into memory cell "10" will end up on the scoreboard..
[06:25] <juniecho> :)
[06:25] <Newbuntu> how do i search a file for specific string?
[06:25] <ubuntu__> hello!
[06:25] <seektherapy> i used this tritium http://ubuntuexperiment.wordpress.com/2008/11/10/installing-apache-php-mysql/#comment-204
[06:25] <Slart> juniecho: so if you write a 5 to memory cell "10" the scoreboard will show a big 5.. this is great.. you can use you electronic scoreboard..  but how do you now access your real memory cell "10" ? you can't
[06:26] <bullgard4> Newbuntu: Use the grep command.
[06:26] <militant_> Newbuntu, 'grep string file'
[06:26] <Newbuntu> ty
[06:26] <jlink> I think I have some serious hardware issues going on here. What the heck
[06:26] <Newbuntu> do i need to be in the files dir to run the command?
[06:26] <seektherapy> i just want to uninstall and start over again
[06:26] <Slart> juniecho: so by connecting the scoreboard your computer can now only use 9 bytes of memory
[06:26] <militant_> Newbuntu, yes, or you can specify the path to it as part of the filename to search
[06:27] <jlink> I have the Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop 32bit live CD in my drive. I'm running Ubuntu straight from it. After a few seconds of bootup, the screen goes black.
[06:27] <militant_> Newbuntu, it's more common to grep a directory to find out what file(s) have a specific string
[06:27] <bullgard4> Newbuntu: No.
[06:27] <gartral> anyone know why the ubuntu system monitor takes between 45 and 60% of my proc at all times that its running?
[06:27] <sprinkmeier_> gartral, run "top" in a terminal. who's the culprit?
[06:28] <prince_jammys> heh
[06:28] <jlink> gartral: Are you sure it isn't just soaking up idle time? There's something like that in Windows too
[06:28] <Slart> juniecho: it's the same thing in your real computer.. graphics memory is mapped into those 4GB you can address.. also other things.. probably your audio card, printer bla bla bla
[06:28] <Newbuntu> so if i were too grep string / i'd search the entire system?
[06:28] <bullgard4> gartral: Because it is programmed so that it takes so many ressources. It updates graphics too often.
[06:28] <prince_jammys> Newbuntu: no, you'd need to tell grep that you want it done recursively
[06:28] <seektherapy> actually tritium it appears that all the links are working to test the installation
[06:28] <Newbuntu> -r?
[06:28] <militant_> Newbuntu, no, you'd only search the root directory, and only if you had permissions to do so.  you'd have to specify recursiveness
[06:29] <prince_jammys> Newbuntu: then you'd wait an hour or so :) yes, -r
[06:29] <devilsadvocate> sprinkmeier_, sadly, that did not work :( . its strange though - it seems local addresses resolve. internet ones dont.
[06:29] <Newbuntu> ok ty
[06:29] <gartral> sprinkmeier_: i said system monitor, system monitor shows itself as running between %45 and %60 at all times that its up, if i close it, everything calms down
[06:29] <ubuntu__> while i tried to install arch yesterday, the filesystem on my kubuntu partition changed from ext3 to ext4 somehow without formating anything. fstab still say it's ext3, but to mount it i have to append "-t ext3" to the mount command. now i can't boot kubuntu anymore, i get the error "mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /root failed: no such device."... There are some more error messages like "target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init" or "No init
[06:29] <ubuntu__> found. Try passing init=bootarg", and afterwards i am droped to the built in shell (ash) with the prompt "(initramfs)"... Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?
[06:29] <seektherapy> but i am having problems installing wordpress and that working
[06:29] <sprinkmeier_> gartral, depending on video drivers, update rate and eye-candy ubuntu system monitor can soak up a lot of CPU. slow it down, or use "top" instead.
[06:29] <gartral> bullgard4: ahh, is that why the names all go blank when i scroll?
[06:30] <neptunepink> My computer loses 3 seconds every second, how to fix?
[06:30] <bullgard4> gartral: I believe so, yes.
[06:30] <gartral> sprinkmeier_: i have visual themes disabled, and im running restricted drivers for a legacy nvidia card
[06:30] <sprinkmeier_> devilsadvocate, can you pastebin /etc/resolv/conf, /etc/host.conf, the output if "host www.ibm.com" (or similar) and the output of "ping www.ibm.com"?
[06:30] <devilsadvocate> sprinkmeier_, ok. the dns setup i usually work for some reason is not working in this setup : generally DNS A gives me local addresses, and if its internet it sends a not available and it goes  to DNS B. i made DNS B the default and ping works. local addresses wont resolve now, though
[06:31] <bullgard4> neptunepink: Please be more precise in describing what do you mean by " My computer loses 3 seconds every second"
[06:31] <stealth-> anyone know how well terminator works in KDE?
[06:31] <juniecho> slart, kinda hard but you mean it is not wasted, but reserved, or occupied by other 'devices'?

[06:32] <Slart> juniecho: it isn't used.. but you can't access it
[06:32] <sprinkmeier_> devilsadvocate, I though this sort of thing was usually handled with a split-brain DNS rather than getting the client to do the work (not a DNS expert by any means....)
[06:32] <bullgard4> stealth-: The people in #kubuntu probably can tell you better than people here.
[06:32] <Slart> juniecho: which really comes down to the same thing for you.. it's not usable

[06:33] <devilsadvocate> sprinkmeier_, the setup we have here is wierd. hopefully it'll get fixed soon. we moved to a fully NATed network just recently
[06:34] <juniecho> slart oh i understand................... :( so it is something like... a dead space?

[06:50] <Newbuntu> i want a whole new server not just a new channel
[06:50] <seektherapy> ok.. let me a something else.. Since i am new at linux ..Where should my www folder go.. should it be in var/ww
[06:50] <seektherapy> w
[06:50] <Newbuntu> oh haha
[06:50] <tritium> A-KO: init scripts can be configured with update-rc.d
[06:50] <A-KO> datbase error on ubuntuforums.org btw
[06:51] <tritium> A-KO: known issue
[06:51] <Dreamglider> Newbuntu, you can /server irc.ubuntu.net
[06:51] <prince_jammys> A-KO: use google's cache
[06:51] <firewallnoob> What easy to use firewall do people recommend for Desktop?
[06:51] <prince_jammys> A-KO: .. if you're looking up a page and not posting
[06:52] <prince_jammys> !firewall | firewallnoob
[06:52] <Dreamglider> Newbuntu, or add a server. Ctrl+s > Alt+a > Alt+e
[06:53] <seektherapy> sorry, let me rephrase .. i am new at linux ..Where should my www folder go.. should it be in var/www..  apparently i am new at english and grammer too
[06:53] <firewallnoob> prince_jammys: thanks. Firestarter for noobs without KDE then?
[06:54] <gartral> bullgard4: ok, so how do i replace the tray's system "widget's" double click function to use gtop or such?
[06:54] <rww> firewallnoob: If you're using Intrepid or Jaunty, try gufw. It's a lot less buggy than firestarter.
[06:55] <firewallnoob> rww: I'm using 8.04 - I think it's called "Hardon" or something
[06:55] <prince_jammys> :)
[06:56] <rww> firewallnoob: hardy ;). gufw is in hardy-backports, if you'd like to try it out. I didn't use Hardy much, so I don't know if Firestarter is more reasonable on it.
[06:56] <gartral> heeelllppp, bash says "command unmount does not exist"
[06:56] <prince_jammys> gartral: umount
[06:56] <lstarnes> gartral: umount
[06:57] <seektherapy> I knew if i came in here.. it would take f'n hours for someone to want to help me
[06:59] <firewallnoob> Strange... If I go through the Firewall wizard in Firestarter, it never asks me what ports to allow/deny and what programs to allow to connect, etc.? Am I missing something?
[07:00] <bullgard4> gartral: I don't know. Sorry.
[07:00] <sprinkmeier_> firewallnoob, are you sure you need a FW? if you're behind a NAT gateway then chances are you don't.
[07:00] <amitz> where can I get information on how compatible AMD 780g with ubuntu 9.04?
[07:01] <sprinkmeier_> gartral, umount, not unmount
[07:01] <firewallnoob> sprinkmeier_: I basically want to control what programs can access the internet, e.g. I don't want Wine apps to access the internet, etc.
[07:01] <amitz> In other words, what's the official hardware compatibility list or something like that?
[07:01] <poet> any ideas for finding hardware not detected by lspci
[07:01] <rww> !hcl | amitz
[07:02] <amitz> thanks rww
[07:02] <sprinkmeier_> firewallnoob, I'm not sure that the simple firewall tools allow such skullduggery.
[07:03] <poet> any ideas for finding hardware not detected by lspci?  I know the hardware is supported, but I believe a recent upgrade broke something
[07:03] <pretender> Is there a way to reset the top panel back to defaults
[07:03] <firewallnoob> sprinkmeier_: what are the simplest ones that do then, if any?
[07:04] <bullgard4> neptunepink: I believe that the message " Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = 507264222 ns)" is not a sufficient reason to state: " My computer loses 3 seconds every second". My advice: First find out the reason for the message: "Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = 507264222 ns)" My guess: the reason might be a wrong ACPI.
[07:04] <bobbie4> I'm back and I Like the ubuntu because it is good for me and you
[07:04] <sprinkmeier_> firewallnoob, I tend to end up using the commandline for most thinks (OldSkool :-)
[07:04] <poet> do I have voice?
[07:05] <seektherapy> its a real sick wonder why not many woman try using Ubuntu or get into computers in general..
[07:05] <joot> seektherapy; What are you trying to do??
[07:05] <cjae> !permissions
[07:06] <seektherapy> nothing joot .. tired of trying to get help... and once again i am getting bored with begging. learning and asking
[07:06] <firewallnoob> is ubuntuforums.org down ?
[07:06] <Shinu> Yes
[07:06] <Shinu> DB error
[07:06] <bobbie4> seektherapy:  I know what you're talking about
[07:07] <poet> do I have voice?
[07:07] <firewallnoob> poet: affirmative
[07:07] <bullgard4> poet: lspci does not detect every hardware. Try sudo lshw. For example: 'sudo lshw -class disk'
[07:07] <joot> seektherapy; If I can help you I will but please do not make negative comments about the list
[07:08] <firewallnoob> sprinkmeier_: does IPTABLES allow such per-application firewalling though? I don't want to spend time learning to use them, if they can't do what I need anyhow.
[07:08] <_Mik> Hi, is there a way to allow users to login with only a 4 digit pw?
[07:08] <poet> bullgard4: I've verified that it does not show up via lshw either
[07:08] <seektherapy> I am making a statement.. a factual one.. not many women are into Ubuntu because of the lack of support
[07:09] <joot> seektherapy; Not true..
[07:09] <gibxam> there seems to be lots of support for Ubuntu...
[07:09] <seektherapy> thankyou bobbie4
[07:09] <JessicaParker> hi can anyone assist with a ubuntu network install ?
[07:09] <Flannel> seektherapy: That's offtopic.  Please take it elsewhere.
[07:09] <poet> This piece of hardware is a Broadcom chip in my wireless card which I've been happily using via restricted drivers for the last 6 months.  However, now it appears to be gone.  I know it's supported, and i know the hardware has not failed because I booted into windows to check
[07:09] <JessicaParker> have a dell no cd no usb but want to install ubuntu
[07:10] <Flannel> !install | JessicaParker
[07:10] <Flannel> JessicaParker: the first link there has a number of methods, one should work for you.
[07:10] <JessicaParker> i have set up dhcp on one machine
[07:10] <JessicaParker> but the other machine cannot seem to find it
[07:10] <bullgard4> poet: What hardware is it specifically?
[07:10] <seektherapy> are you running windows now JessicaParker
[07:11] <poet> bullgard4: Broadcom 4321
[07:11] <JessicaParker> ive followed the steps on this here http://news.softpedia.com/news/Alternative-Installation-Methods-for-Hardy-86977.shtml
[07:11] <Flannel> seektherapy: Yes, your stuff goes in /var/www/  That folder is owned by root, you need to gain super user privledges to access it.
[07:11] <JessicaParker> no ubuntu and want ubuntu on the other one
[07:11] <Flannel> JessicaParker: Try the steps on the wiki.  Sometimes third party sites get things wrong
[07:11] <JessicaParker> the operating system on the dell is messed up so no os at all
[07:11] <seektherapy> try not asking for help in here .. this people aren't Real helpful
[07:12] <JessicaParker> im really stuck with teh dhcp configuration
[07:12] <firewallnoob> JessicaParker: can you see this link: http://www.wkowtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=9667184
[07:12] <xy|ox> firewallnoob, iptables blocks or allow based on ports and protocols but no apps

[07:13] <poet> Kimi: have you verified your microphone works
[07:13] <poet> with another program
[07:13] <firewallnoob> Can chroot be configured so that it blocks the internet
[07:13] <Kimi> yes
[07:13] <Kimi> i can hear songs
[07:13] <joot> seektherapy; you are just trolling go away

[07:14] <poet> Kimi: wouldn't that be your speakers
[07:14] <rww> joot: he did, two minutes ago =/
[07:14] <Myztikal_> Is there a site that can help me understand how this repository thingo works?
[07:14] <joot> rww, cool
[07:14] <Flannel> !components | Myztikal_
[07:14] <Myztikal_> and how i can search through it and find specific things
[07:14] <Myztikal_> thanks
[07:14] <Flannel> Myztikal_: Ah.  This may be more topical
[07:14] <Flannel> !synaptic | Myztikal_
[07:14] <firewallnoob> JessicaParker: she had Linux installed already but didn't know it. Are you sure you don't?
[07:14] <Myztikal_> getting my bearings around Ubuntu is proving difficult :
[07:14] <Myztikal_> :P
[07:14] <Kimi> poet how to test mic ?
[07:14] <bullgard4> poet: Did you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsBroadcom?
[07:14] <rww> Myztikal_: For searching, Synaptic or http://packages.ubuntu.com/ are useful.
[07:15] <poet> Kimi: Sound Recorder in your Sound and Video menu
[07:15] <JessicaParker> this is what i have on my dhcpd.conf file http://pastebin.com/m3ad36ac
[07:15] <Myztikal_> hmm, where would i find the plugins for firefox?
[07:15] <Flannel> Myztikal_: Synaptic is the graphical package manager, if you just want to learn about how to use the repositories, then Synaptic would likely be the thing you want to learn about first.
[07:15] <Myztikal_> ahh ic
[07:15] <JessicaParker> firewallnoob: im not that stupid i had windows professional edition, tried to install ubuntu over it and its all broken
[07:15] <Myztikal_> i have a bague idea of what it is
[07:15] <cjae> I have an ntfs external drive and when I use ls -l it says brw-rw---- root disk 8, couldn't I just chmod 777 so everyone could read write execute?
[07:16] <Myztikal_> i just need to learn how to use it
[07:16] <JessicaParker> no none of the os will start
[07:16] <Flannel> Myztikal_: Right, that wiki page (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[07:16] <Kimi> poet after recording, it just gets force quit
[07:16] <Flannel> Myztikal_: ) will walk you through its usage
[07:16] <Kimi> poet its not working for me
[07:16] <Myztikal_> thanks
[07:16] <poet> bullgard4: I've gotten it working in the past with ndiswrapper, and more recently with the official restricted driver released by Broadcom.  The issue here I believe is that Ubuntu has no idea the card exists.  This has never happened to me before and I've configured Ubuntu on this system many many times.  I know the card works because windows still detects
[07:16] <Myztikal_> is it just search for install file and download?
[07:17] <Myztikal_> type of setup?
[07:17] <Kimi> poet after recording where will be the saves ?
[07:17] <_Mik> How do i allow users to login w/less than 6 char. password?
[07:17] <firewallnoob> JessicaParker: you tried netinstall or something like that?
[07:17] <poet> Kimi: there's your problem, it's not empethy it's your mic
[07:17] <poet> Kimi: you should be able to play it back right away after recording through the same interface
[07:17] <Kimi> ok
[07:17] <Kimi> wait
[07:17] <bullgard4> Myztikal_: Type in the command line of firefox: "about:plugins".
[07:18] <Kimi> poet how to delte it ? where is it ?
[07:19] <Kimi> poet i mean.. i recorded an empty file
[07:19] <Kimi> how to delte it ?
[07:19] <poet> Kimi: In Sound Recorder go to File > Save As and the folder in which your last recording was saved will pop up
[07:19] <poet> then navigate to the file through the Places menu at the top and delete it
[07:19] <amitz> will there be differences (asymptotically) of performance between a java process run on ubuntu-ec2 and a java proccess with hadoop on ec2?
[07:19] <christian_______> hi
[07:20] <christian_______> i need help
[07:20] <Shinu> @bullgard4: Is there an about:* for loaded addons?
[07:20] <JessicaParker> firewallnoob:  what is a net install ?
[07:20] <firewallnoob> JessicaParker: how did you install Ubuntu?
[07:20] <poet> amitz: I imagine it's unlikely they are teh same
[07:20] <poet> *the
[07:20] <Psuedo> Yesterday I was asking about different Server roles, and was recommended LDS. Does anyone know what it stands for, as I wikipedia'd it, and couldn't find anything related to Servers...
[07:21] <bullgard4> poet: It is a rare case that Ubuntu does not have any idea about a specific wireless card. My advice: File a question in an Ubuntu mailing list or forum.
[07:21] <firewallnoob> bullgard4: I think ubuntuforums.org is down
[07:21] <Shinu> @ Psuedo: Local Directory Service?
[07:21] <bullgard4> Shinu: My Firefox 3.0.3 then lists the installed plugins.
[07:21] <poet> bullgard4: I've tried the forum and no one has any idea.  I have a feeling this is a particuarly nasty bug, because I know the card is well supported now.  Unfortunatly I haven't been able to reproduce it
[07:21] <christian_______> install the drivers for my graphics card but when I start GDM, I get the box vesa
[07:22] <Shinu> bullgard4: Any kind of about:addons? Eg. Adblock is loaded
[07:22] <amitz> poet: they're not the same, but both can be used to run a well-scaled java applications. But ubuntu will have the overhead. The question is whether the overhead is variable and large enough?
[07:22] <JessicaParker> firewallnoob:  the os on the dell is not working, i downloaded it via the internet.  but i can no longer access windows or ubuntu on the dell
[07:22] <Shinu> oh
[07:22] <Kimi> poet thanks
[07:22] <firewallnoob> JessicaParker: what I mean is did you burn Ubuntu CD first and then installed it?
[07:22] <Kimi> but for 5 seconds of my speaking.... it saves very big file
[07:23] <JessicaParker> firewallnoob: i have it on another machine and am trying to set up dhcp so that my dell can access the network on boot
[07:23] <bullgard4> Shinu: Adblock is not loaded in my Firefox 3.0.3.
[07:23] <JessicaParker> firewallnoob: the dell has no cd and no usb, the cd is not working it is broken
[07:23] <zhangxiaobo> hello
[07:23] <g4lt-lappy> JessicaParker, try FAI
[07:23] <JessicaParker> firewallnoob: the dell cannot read a usb on boot it does not have the capaability
[07:23] <Shinu> kk
[07:24] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy: fai ?
[07:24] <g4lt-lappy> fully automated install, or debian's netboot (ubuntu is a debian variant)
[07:24] <Kimi> !usb
[07:24] <JessicaParker> ive tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet
[07:25] <Kimi> !usb | firewallnoob
[07:25] <JessicaParker> "Basic: Hands-On Interactive Network Server Edition Install" but am now stuck
[07:25] <firewallnoob> JessicaParker: in the link you posted earler, did you use "Method 2" ?
[07:26] <JessicaParker> firewallnoob: absolutely - yest method 2
[07:26] <bullgard4> poet: ndiswrapper does not work any more?
[07:27] <JessicaParker> on booting the dell it is still not recognising the server - so im not sure if ive configure the server correctly , there arent many options on the dell for boot anyway so i dont think it is the dell
[07:27] <JessicaParker> never ever buy a dell machine they are so rubbish and so limited and replacement parts expensive
[07:27] <g4lt-lappy> JessicaParker, yo've set up the dell fior PXE?
[07:28] <_Mik> ubuntu is forcing passwords down my throat
[07:28] <firewallnoob> JessicaParker: did you restart the dhcp server?
[07:28] <g4lt-lappy> (sometimes they defaukt to a weird netboot protocol)
[07:28] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy: just checking firewallnoob yes restarted after setting config file
[07:28] <g4lt-lappy> firewallnoob, DHCP, for netboot?  typically you use bootp
[07:29] <badboy_> hi chaps, I am newbie
[07:29] <_Mik> requiring a password in an unprivileged account is ludicrous.
[07:30] <Flannel> _Mik: So change that.  It really isn't.  But it's your system.
[07:30] <Shinu> It can cause *some* damage
[07:30] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy: something is happening
[07:30] <eltimbalino> Is this site down? http://ubuntuforums.org/
[07:30] <Shinu> eltimbalino: Yes
[07:31] <badboy_> I have a problem. I have resize my new laptop 320GB, vista and and created a 47 GB partionion for ubuntu. NOw i have installed ubuntu on this partition, when it loads up, there's no option for vista
[07:31] <JessicaParker> getting a tfpt open timeout message
[07:31] <eltimbalino> Thanks Shinu, I thought it must be me
[07:31] <firewallnoob> JessicaParker: I've never done a netinstall myself (this is what you are trying to do). My advice is, if you don't get adequate help with it, reinstall WinXP Pro from the CDs. If that doesn't work, warranty repair
[07:31] <Shinu> :)
[07:31] <g4lt-lappy> _Mik, it's not forcing *A* particular password down hyour throat, no, but if you're complaining that it wants one, I have news for you, so will win7
[07:31] <JessicaParker> firewallnoob: dont have cd player that is working so no go there and also out of warranty
[07:31] <bobbie4> I reeli like the unbuntu
[07:32] <firewallnoob> JessicaParker: Is it a laptop?
[07:32] <JessicaParker> yes

[07:34] <badboy_> can anyone help? how to boot up in vista, on dual os on the same hdd
[07:34] <Flannel> _Mik: again, it's not a good idea.  But you can modify the appropriate sections in /etc/pam.d/common-password
[07:34] <JessicaParker> 3 years
[07:34] <_Mik> Flannel ok thnx.
[07:35] <Xanavi> forums down eh
[07:35] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy:  it seems to be stuck on a tfpt option
[07:35] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy: actually looks like some progress being made
[07:36] <g4lt-lappy> JessicaParker, honestly, if FAI fails, you might want to try roothat's kickstart
[07:36] <g4lt-lappy> $%^^& wireless :(
[07:37] <g4lt-lappy> JessicaParker, tagt's good, for small values of good, it found the host
[07:37] <g4lt-lappy> JessicaParker, what's the file on the TFTP server called?  FAI tends to be hinkey on precise filenames
[07:39] <dparker> Hi - say I'm wondering if someone might just have the answer for me on this: my last distribution upgrade (to 8.04) went great, but subsequent to that I've not been shown the availability of distribution upgrades.  It seems I got switched to the "LTS" plan somehow.  This was not my intention, and it's really not what I want. Any idea what I need to tweak to fix this?
[07:39] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy: dont know how do i find out
[07:39] <Flannel> dparker: You go to software {sources|properties} and on one of the second (or third?) tabs, you can choose LTS or every release, etc.
[07:40] <dparker> ok thanks
[07:40] <dparker> (Flannel)
[07:40] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy:  its still on tfpt - before it did not do anything until i tried pxe like you recommended so
[07:40] <meoblast001> if Gnome won't work on my system, will LXDE probably not work?
[07:40] <firewallnoob> dparker: I've heard that 8.10 sucks (just a rumor)
[07:41] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy: it started with one dot (.) and now there are five (....) but difficult to tell if any progess is being made
[07:41] <meoblast001> firewallnoob: then wait till you see 9.04 Alpha 6 :P
[07:41] <dparker> yeah - I wasn't really thinking of doing it now - I just want the option
[07:41] <JessicaParker> dparker: it killed some stuff that was previously working on my laptop
[07:41] <meoblast001> firewallnoob: i learned Alpha software isn't fun the hard way
[07:41] <dparker> I consider myself warned - thanks :)
[07:42] <sarmisak> meoblast001: its 'alpha', you should walk away if you are using your computer for production and not fun ;)
[07:42] <savvas> meoblast001: it was considerably stable
[07:42] <g4lt-lappy> JessicaParker, do a dir or ls on the server
[07:42] <savvas> btw, beta is coming soon :)
[07:42] <sarmisak> savvas: exactly, I'm typing from alpha 6, no problems here
[07:42] <Flannel> !worksforme
[07:43] <meoblast001> sarmisak: i use it for both :P
[07:43] <savvas> It "works for me"! :P
[07:43] <sprinkmeier_> firewallnoob, (back now) iptables allows filtering by UID and GID, PID, SID and command. See the iptables manpage.
[07:43] <meoblast001> savvas: it "won't let me use Gnome"
[07:43] <sarmisak> meoblast001: then you should probably stay on stable ground ;)
[07:43] <sarmisak> meoblast001: how come?
[07:43] <meoblast001> sarmisak: i don't think it's jaunty.... but update-manager
[07:43] <meoblast001> sarmisak: i've never gotten a perfect upgrade yet
[07:43] <savvas> meoblast001: did you try to boot from the livecd?
[07:44] <meoblast001> sarmisak: i think that needs the most work out of everything on ubuntu
[07:44] <sarmisak> meoblast001: how did you upgrade?
[07:44] <meoblast001> sarmisak: update-manager -d
[07:44] <meoblast001> my upgrade to intrepid kept some hardy stuff for a period of time
[07:44] <sarmisak> meoblast001: hmm, any special hardware or software?
[07:44] <sarmisak> meoblast001: oh i see, why don't you try apt-get dist-upgrade first?
[07:45] <ziroday`> !jaunty | meoblast001 sarmisak
[07:45] <g4lt-lappy> JessicaParker, TFTP is rather slow, so you may still be in business
[07:45] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy: other options on the boot are tcp/ip - dhcp which was not working also tcp/ip bootp
[07:46] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy: its just restarted the bios so looks like this did not work
[07:46] <sprinkmeier_> firewallnoob, search for "--uid-owner" in http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/iptables.8.html
[07:46] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy: looks like it has timed out
[07:47] <g4lt-lappy> JessicaParker, bootp is your choice if you have one, but thst's not really the protocol I was thinking
[07:47] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy: i used method 2 http://news.softpedia.com/news/Alternative-Installation-Methods-for-Hardy-86977.shtml here so i suppose it should be pxe dhcp ?
[07:48] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy: bootp - error no reply from server
[07:49] <sarmisak> JessicaParker: does your dhcp server configure for booting over network?
[07:49] <sarmisak> was that english? sorry.
[07:49] <sarmisak> JessicaParker: is your dhcp server configured for booting over network?
[07:49] <JessicaParker> sarmisak: im not that familiar with it - but settings for the .conf file are http://pastebin.com/m3ad36ac
[07:50]  * lclark has discovered the wonders of pulseaudio networking...
[07:51] <firewallnoob> sprinkmeier_: yes, I found some advice on Wine FAQ that I should create a user called 'nonet', then use IPTABLES and run Wine as this user, but it seems like a bit of a pain, because nonet can't open display: I also need to jump through some hoops to allow that
[07:51] <sarmisak> it seems like it should boot

[07:53] <bullgard4> "detlef@T42: /$ smbclient -L \\localhost; Error connecting to 127.0.0.1 (Connection refused); Connection to localhost failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED)." Wie werde ich diese Fehlermeldung los?
[07:53] <noumaan> sarmisak:  no usb I need a way to do it using internet I think it is possible \
[07:53] <JessicaParker> sarmisak: apache local host works ok
[07:53] <noumaan> isnt it? \
[07:54] <sprinkmeier_> firewallnoob, flexible, secure, simple. pick 2 (at most :-) sounds like the wine FAQ had the --owner-uid in mind. probably what I would have done too. getting X to work would be a pain, but it should be managable. If you really don't want networking on the windows apps maybe run them in a VM?
[07:54] <Ascavasaion> Sometimes when I try to play MP3 through Rythmbox it refuses to play and if I reboot it plays them again.  any ideas on how I can sort this out?
[07:54] <firewallnoob> sprinkmeier_: thanks
[07:54] <sprinkmeier_> !de | bullgard4
[07:54] <sprinkmeier_> bullgard4, oder pm mich, ich spreche deutsch
[07:55] <sarmisak> JessicaParker: do you see any activity on the LEDs of your network card or switch?
[07:55] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy:  sarmisak: any ideas on how to check dhcp is send out requests / accepting requests ?
[07:55] <RobotCow> I'm at the eclipse download page, and I see there are several downloads for eclipse, not one eclipse. how can i determine which one i need?
[07:55] <JessicaParker> sarmisak: yes both are flashing
[07:55] <sarmisak> JessicaParker: can you access the pc that serves the boot file?
[07:56] <JessicaParker> sarmisak: yes im on it right now that is where i configured the dhcp
[07:56] <firewallnoob> bullgard4: Vee shpeek anglish heer
[07:56] <sprinkmeier_> Ascavasaion, sounds like a problem I sometimes have with sound; some application (usually flash in ff) grabs sound and won't let go.
[07:56] <JessicaParker> sarmisak: im also via a router
[07:56] <sarmisak> JessicaParker: try installing iptraf package on it and use it to watch what's going on on the network
[07:56] <Ascavasaion> sprinkmeier_: Any idea how to sort it out?
[07:57] <JessicaParker> sarmisak: i suppose you cant tell if my config file is right or not ?
[07:57] <JessicaParker> sarmisak: or there is no other way to check the dchp is working - i do have another windows machine that i can connect to the network to see if the dhcp is working
[07:58] <sprinkmeier_> Ascavasaion, I usually use "fuser /dev/dsp" or somesuch to find the culprit, then decide if I want to kill it or make do without sound. it's a kludge, but it's usually good enough for me.
[07:58] <sprinkmeier_> !pulse | Ascavasaion
[07:58] <sprinkmeier_> !oss | Ascavasaion
[07:58] <sprinkmeier_> !sound | Ascavasaion
[07:59] <sarmisak> JessicaParker: no, I can't probably, have you checked the syslog file? there you should see dhcp messages
[07:59] <Ascavasaion> Thank you.. I will try that.
[08:00] <JessicaParker> sarmisak: not you personally, but i mean me here on the machine that is where i have configured the dhcp server
[08:00] <sarmisak> JessicaParker: have you tried syslog file?
[08:00] <Ascavasaion> the MP3 does not play... as in the progress of the song does not move from 0 seconds.
[08:00] <Diehardy> I need a windows room
[08:00] <Diehardy> anyone know one?
[08:00] <rww> Diehardy: ##windows
[08:00] <Diehardy> another one
[08:01] <Diehardy> I've been there
[08:01] <Shinu> There is only one :o
[08:01] <sloopy> in what boot method does apache server a boot file?
[08:01] <sarmisak> Diehardy: /list
[08:01] <Diehardy> how about a Vista room
[08:01] <_Whipper> :)
[08:01] <Diehardy> or a Windows 7 room
[08:01] <sarmisak> sloopy: pxe, ltsp
[08:01] <KoolD> i just installed ubuntu on my laptop..but the wifi is not working.....lshw -C network gives a network unclaimed......what should i do to make it working
[08:01] <rww> Diehardy: ##windows is Freenode's Windows channel. They deal with all versions of Windows there.
[08:01] <sloopy> sarmisak, what files does it server?
[08:01] <JessicaParker> sarmisak: the dell seems to have found the server  i have client ip 192.168.1.10 mask 255.255.255.0 dhcp ip 192.168.1.88
[08:01] <sarmisak> !ltsp | sloopy
[08:02] <Ascavasaion> rww: Very politely handled.
[08:02] <sprinkmeier_> Diehardy, maybe the problem is that you're using an unsupported OS? Have you considered switching?
[08:02] <g4lt-lappy> hhow about you not ask a channel for a linux distro and askk in #freenode?
[08:02] <JessicaParker> g4lt-lappy: any ideas on this ?
[08:02] <rww> Ascavasaion: thanks :)
[08:02] <sarmisak> JessicaParker: ok, since apache is serving the files, have you checked its logs?
[08:03] <sloopy> sarmisak, uh it doesnt say that there...
[08:03] <TonyMontana> What the heck was that
[08:03] <g4lt-lappy> JessicaParker, everything SEEMS to be righ from wha tyou've said
[08:03] <wanna_learn_more> !lfs
[08:03] <iMatter> Could someone tell me how i would go about upgrading nexuiz 2.4 to 2.4.2 in ubuntu hardy
[08:03] <wanna_learn_more> !lts
[08:03] <_Mik> Flannel, is this what i modify: pam_unix.so nullok obscure min=0 max=8 md5 in /etc/pam.d/common-password
[08:04] <sloopy> sarmisak, when i setup my ltsp i never installed apache
[08:04] <Flannel> _Mik: I have no idea.  Check the man pages/etc
[08:05] <JessicaParker> ok i will check the apache logs the dell has a pxe-e32 error (will never get a dell again)
[08:05] <g4lt-lappy> JessicaParker, bhave you tried RAS for windozew or kickstat or netbooting ay other OS at all?
[08:05] <Myztikal_> ? respository
[08:05] <bobbie4> ubuntu should have the games Minesweeper and Solitaire so that way Ubuntu could have MCSE's,  hehe?
[08:05] <_Mik> ok, don't wanna get locked out of my  ubuntu, haha.
[08:05] <sloopy> JessicaParker, what dell are you using?
[08:06]  * g4lt-lappy fears JessicaParker's problem is a LOT more serious than first thougt
[08:07] <Myztikal_> can anyone direct me to the ubuntu -non support section?
[08:07] <Myztikal_> i'm looking for a good IRC client
[08:07] <g4lt-lappy> the pxe error really worries me
[08:07] <JessicaParker> the dell is a ultraportable
[08:07] <Myztikal_> and also something similar to msn
[08:07] <JessicaParker> latitude
[08:07] <sprinkmeier_> !ot | Myztikal_
[08:07] <g4lt-lappy> Myztikal_, pidgin for both, after a sort
[08:07] <Myztikal_> ty
[08:08] <Myztikal_> yeah, it's for both but
[08:08] <g4lt-lappy> pidgin does IRC, albeit badly
[08:08] <Myztikal_> it's not as good :S
[08:08] <Myztikal_> yeah
[08:08] <_Whipper> xchat
[08:08] <JessicaParker> i cant believe that you can boot from a usb
[08:08] <Shinu> mirc >_>
[08:08] <KoolD> i just installed ubuntu on my laptop..but the wifi is not working.....lshw -C network gives a network unclaimed......what should i do to make it working
[08:08] <Myztikal_> mirc is :S
[08:08]  * bobbie4 asks for permission to leave as he has to go to bed now
[08:08] <Myztikal_> i usually use hydraIRC :S
[08:08] <Shinu> mIRC <3
[08:09] <Myztikal_> anyway thanks i'll continue my convo there
[08:09] <Shinu> k
[08:09] <JessicaParker> thanks guys i trust im going on my own here
[08:09] <_Whipper> Myztikal_, just try out irssi
[08:09] <sprinkmeier_> KoolD, can you see the wireless NIC in the network manager?
[08:09] <SandGorgon> i have openoffice 3.0 - installed through ppa. Anyone know how to install OpenOffice 3.1 ?
[08:09] <JessicaParker> thanks for your efforts though
[08:09] <TonyMontana> Hello
[08:10] <Myztikal_> !repository
[08:10] <Shinu> Hello
[08:10] <sprinkmeier_> JessicaParker, IIRC LTSP has a live CD that turns a system into a remote-boot server. If you run that, and try to remote-boot the DELL it may confirm if it's a problem with the DELL.
[08:10] <TonyMontana> Ubuntu 8.10 wont recognize my webcam
[08:10] <_Whipper> is it echoing here...
[08:10] <TonyMontana> why is that
[08:10] <user___> SandGorgon: wait for ppa to catch up or get the software from upstream (openoffice.org)
[08:11] <SandGorgon> user___: is there a Ubuntu repository ?
[08:11] <erbish> hi
[08:11] <sprinkmeier_> TonyMontana, unsupported HW? check the HCL and, if you feel like tilting at windmills, contact the vendor and request Linux support.
[08:11] <user___> SandGorgon: for which case?
[08:11] <sprinkmeier_> !hcl | TonyMontana
[08:11] <noren_> !webcam | TonyMontana
[08:11] <TonyMontana> actually it came with the netbook
[08:11] <TonyMontana> it's a eee pc 701
[08:12] <TonyMontana> with ubuntu and the webcam is built in
[08:12] <JessicaParker> ok will have a look at this.........i dont think it is the dell as it was all working till i tried to install ubuntu over it
[08:12] <sprinkmeier_> TonyMontana, I got that working with 8.04.1
[08:12] <KoolD> sprinkmeier_:no i dont see it
[08:12] <TonyMontana> well i have 8.10
[08:12] <error404notfound> I get "Script /etc/menu-methods/translate_menus returned error status 1." on every apt-get install.... why? and how to fix it?
[08:12] <error404notfound> ubuntuforums are down?
[08:13] <Shinu> error404notfound: Yes.
[08:13] <error404notfound> Shinu: :(
[08:13] <Shinu> ;x
[08:13] <sprinkmeier_> TonyMontana, did you check out the EEEbuntu (noe eezy-peezy linux?) page for the 701? IIRC it had some things I had to do to get it to work...
[08:13] <Shinu> :x
[08:13] <sprinkmeier_> !wireless | KoolD
[08:13] <KoolD> thanks i'll check it out
[08:13] <TonyMontana> No I havent Sprinkmeir
[08:14] <sprinkmeier_> KoolD, so lshw recognises it as a wireless NIC but network manager doesn't find/use it? urgh...
[08:14] <emendo> Can anyone point me to some good sites or documents that will help me to secure my system before I use gtk-gnutella?
[08:14] <g4lt-lappy> JessicaParker, well, if that pxed error is what I think it is, you're not reallhyon your own, b ut it's soemthign that onluy Dell tech support and a RMA will fix
[08:14] <g4lt-lappy> tongueroo, did ubuntu recognize it before?
[08:14] <g4lt-lappy> TonyMontana, ^^^^
[08:14] <ziroday> emendo: secure how? There are pratically no viruses for linux. Just don't install some strange app from their
[08:15] <TonyMontana> what?
[08:15] <emendo> ziroday: I am more concerned about someone accessing files not in the sharing folder. I heard it was done.
[08:15] <gartral> why does my scroll lock key do nothing in ubuntu?
[08:15] <emendo> ziroday: I do not know how though.
[08:15] <Shinu> What is it supposed to do anyways
[08:15] <gartral> it doesnt even toggle the light
[08:16] <gartral> keep a window's scrolling output from scrolling
[08:16] <ziroday> emendo: you should be fine, if you are worried then you could make a new group for gnutella and then chown that file just for that group however its very complicated to setup. You should be safe
[08:16] <gartral> !scroll lock
[08:16] <gartral> !scroll
[08:16] <gartral> :|
[08:17] <emendo> ziroday: thankyou, I will go ahead and give downloading a try.
[08:22] <Mo0oSaH> anyone know what's going on with the forums?
[08:22] <Flannel> Mo0oSaH: Try #ubuntuforums
[08:22] <Mo0oSaH> Flannel: thanks
[08:27] <Xanavi> forums down eh?
[08:27] <tech404> is there a way to stop scrolling on output at the consle or in screen?
[08:27] <ziroday> Xanavi: yes, ask in #ubuntuforums
[08:27] <ziroday> tech404: run the command but pipe it through less like this mycommand | less
[08:28] <zenlunatic> tech404, you can add & at the end and the job will go in the background
[08:29] <zenlunatic> tech404, cntrl-D to send end of file or cntrl-c to kill
[08:29] <zenlunatic> tech404, cntrl-z to pause :D
[08:29] <timob> any one know why when ever i plugin the AC on my laptop Ubuntu starts Evolution email client?
[08:29] <tech404> ziroday, thanks for your help however I am looking for an overall solution. While in screen information is updated every second and it keeps me from seeing output very far up with <ctrl> + <pg up>
[08:30] <gnu_dio> Hi, I'm trying to get my Hardy server to use "sendmail" to email logs to my hotmail account. I've got it installed, and it is clearly trying to send from the /var/log/mail.log, but the messages aren't arriving. Can anyone help me find the issue, or point me to a good guide for getting it working in Hardy? (sorry if this is a repost, I got disconnected right after trying to ask before)
[08:30] <zenlunatic> tech404, redirect the output to a file?
[08:31] <ziroday> tech404: ah! then you want tail or tail -f
[08:32] <user___> gnu_dio: please pastebin your mail.log
[08:32] <tech404> I don't know ahead of time what I want to see. I am talking about moving up in the buffer. Doing something like that would require using tee on everything and then rotaiting the file like a log.
[08:33] <tech404> I want to be able to scroll through the buffer without output to the console bringing me to the bottom of the buffer.
[08:33] <shredder12> help please... recently i am unable to play any video in vlc.. whenver i click on the video.. vlc opens for a moment and automatically closes.. i have tried reinstalling it... but the problem still persists..
[08:33] <ziroday> shredder12: can you play it in other video apps?
[08:33] <shredder12> ziroday: yes
[08:34] <gnu_dio> user___: http://pastebin.ca/1366965
[08:34] <user___> shredder12: try starting it from the command line, it will display more information about the "crash"? then
[08:34] <ziroday> shredder12: can you open vlc from a terminal, go to the video file, have it crash and then pastebin the contents of the terminal please
[08:35] <dparker> gnu_dio just a thought: you might want to consider using exim4 - sendmail is venerable to be sure, but exim4 is really an evolutionary step forward, and configuration is pretty simple if you use the config stuff that comes in the pkg.
[08:35] <user___> gnu_dio: just a side question: you really want/need to use sendmail?
[08:36] <gnu_dio> the reason for sendmail was that it's from a php script I didn't write that uses sendmail
[08:36] <shredder12> this is the link of the vlc error..   http://paste.ubuntu.com/134715/
[08:36] <gnu_dio> so I had to remove exim4 to install sendmail, or edit php code I know nothing about
[08:36] <badboy_> hi shredder, I am newbie, can give heads up for somethinh
[08:37] <ziroday> shredder12: are you running compiz at the moment?
[08:37] <ziroday> shredder12: and are you _certain_ the video file plays in totem or mplayer or whatever?
[08:37] <badboy_> I created a partition after resizing my laptop, and installed ubuntu, but now there's no option to boot vissta
[08:38] <shredder12> ziroday: yes  i am able to play them in totem movie player.. this is how i have to watch them now..
[08:38] <badboy_> maybe zroday can help
[08:38] <gnu_dio> if it's possible to alias exim4 as sendmail, that could be the solution, but I know even less about exim4 than I do about sendmail
[08:38] <dparker> gnu_dio - exim4 has a wrapper that simulates the sendmail command line program to a degree.  does the php program use some other aspect of sendmail?
[08:38] <gnu_dio> no
[08:39] <gnu_dio> sendmail -i -t only
[08:39] <user___> gnu_dio: mx4.hotmail.com seems to not answer at the moment (now=log time). btw exim4 also has a sendmail syntactic sugar layer. just check if in fact exim4 also provides a "sendmail" command.. no problems with php then..
[08:39] <shredder12> ziroday: and about the compiz.. i don't know whether i m using it currently or not.. but my video setting.. in system -> preferences -> appearance-> visual effects is set to normal
[08:39] <dparker> w/ exim4 you'll see /usr/sbin/sendmail -> exim4
[08:39] <ziroday> shredder12: can you set that to none please and then try again
[08:39] <shredder12> ziroday: okk... let me try..
[08:40] <gnu_dio> well, before I replaced exim4 with sendmail, It wasn't even trying to send emails, so there must be something about configuring exim4 to pretend to be sendmail
[08:40] <shredder12> ziroday: i set it to none.. but still having the same problem..
[08:41] <ziroday> shredder12: hmm
[08:41] <user___> gnu_dio: did you configure exim to use hotmail as a smarthost?
[08:41] <user___> gnu_dio: you still have the exim log file around?
[08:41] <shredder12> user___:  did you look at the error that i got in the terminal while playing a video in vlc.. if not then please have a lookk.. and suggest something... http://paste.ubuntu.com/134715/
[08:41] <ziroday> shredder12: what graphics card and what drivers?
[08:42] <shredder12> ziroday: nvidia.. and the drivers are installed.
[08:42] <shredder12> ziroday: actually i was able to play them on vlc a while ago. then suddenly this problem started..
[08:42] <gnu_dio> I hadn't actually even tried to configure it. I saw the php code wanted sendmail, and that nothing was happenning in the logs (all empty after trying to send the mails) so I put sendmail in
[08:42] <ziroday> shredder12: googling around now, but looks nasty
[08:42] <gnu_dio> I'm putting exim4 back in now
[08:42] <error404notfoun1> how can I fix "Script /etc/menu-methods/translate_menus returned error status 1." that I get on every software installed via apt-get?
[08:43] <ziroday> shredder12: you might want to ask in #videolan
[08:43] <shredder12> ziroday: kk. i will try that too.. newaz.. thanks for ur help..
[08:43] <user___> shredder12: sorry, didnt look before, was in "read quotes only"-mode. the error is about a broken video driver
[08:43] <shredder12> user___:  but i have nvidia drivers installed..
[08:44] <user___> shredder12: open or closed source?
[08:44] <shredder12> user___:  i installed them using envyng..
[08:44] <shredder12> user___:  and the hardware drivers shows it as activated..
[08:45] <user___> shredder12: uh, not sure envyng is the way to go with ubuntu..
[08:45] <shredder12> user___: but everything was working fine a while ago..
[08:45] <drowner> hey everyone. which is going to be the next LTS release?
[08:46] <erbish> I want to use quicklaunch on my ubuntu - just like under windows, how can I do that ?
[08:46] <lstarnes> drowner: I think 9.10
[08:46] <prince_jammys> erbish: what's "quicklaunch"?
[08:46] <Wynand> morning all, i was wondering if anyone has tried programming apps in objective-c (cocoa app) in ubuntu.?
[08:46] <quizme> crontab -e doesn't seem to be working .... i'm running it as root, and /usr/sbin/cron is running as a process though. anybody have any ideas?
[08:47] <gnu_dio> user___:  ok, sendmail removed, exim4 reinstalled appears successfully. Now I have the same problem I had at first. Nothing appears in the mail.log when the php tries to send mail.
[08:47] <quizme> wynand: i have not. :)
[08:47] <sk2> Hi, I'm trying to configure postfix with virtual users, but I'd like to use it on localhost rather than an external FQDN. When I set up the virtual users in /etc/postfix/vmaps I am not sure what domain to use... can anyone assist?
[08:47] <timob> gnu_dio: you can check if the crontab is updated: crontab -l
[08:47] <quizme> anybody know how to use crontab -e ?
[08:48] <shredder12> user___:  and ya one more thing.. when i tried to force an earlier version of vlc.. and clicked apply in synaptic... i got this error....  http://paste.ubuntu.com/134721/
[08:48] <voice5sur5> any know well gparted?
[08:48] <quizme> does crontab -e work as root ?
[08:48] <drowner> lstarnes: thanks very much. I'm with Hardy, i want to be a fresh install. Stupid question: if I back up my home, will it keep settings like my firefox passwords, and so on? are they kept in /home?
[08:48] <voice5sur5> i want to know if i ll loose my data by resizing a ntfs partition
[08:48] <timob> oops thats for quizme
[08:48] <user___> gnu_dio: sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
[08:48] <erbish> prince_jammys, a little button on the bar, next to the start menu where you can store your fav programs
[08:48] <quizme> timob: * * *  *   * /root/backup/dump_time  <-- that's my cron file
[08:49] <lstarnes> drowner: most personal or account-specific data is kept in a user's home directory
[08:49] <prince_jammys> erbish: you can have icons for your progs on the bar. is that no good?
[08:49] <sk2> or more specifically, is it possible to create postfix virtual users for the localhost domain?
[08:49] <quibbler> erbish: you can add a drawer to the panel and fill it with what you want
[08:49] <drowner> lstarnes: thanks again. I've got a seperate /home partition, so I might just go with that then
[08:49] <prince_jammys> erbish: ah, there you go, "drawers"
[08:50] <user___> shredder12: it might be that the video driver is broken because some packages got updated while others are not yet.
[08:50] <timob> quizme: so you can see if crontab -e worked if you see what you edited in crontab -l
[08:50] <user___> shredder12: or the other way around
[08:50] <quizme> timob: i'm just running a simple script: #!/bin/bash
[08:50] <quizme> date >> time.log
[08:50] <erbish> prince_jammys, no, those takes too much space from the bar - otherwise i know drawers, is there any alternative other than drawers?
[08:51] <quizme> timob: i typed in crontab -l, but it just shows my crontab file
[08:51] <shredder12> user___:  but then how am i able to play the video on other players.. and not on vlc.. may be it is some update issue with vlc..
[08:51] <prince_jammys> erbish: i have no idea :) i should shut up, since i don't even run gnome.
[08:51] <timob> quizme: ok so crontab -e worked ... which is your question.
[08:52] <erbish> oh, never mind, you could have useful info even if you run kde
[08:52] <user___> shredder12: because other players can use different parts of the video system. there is no routine such as "play video file". it is implemented differently
[08:52] <erbish> otherwise, thanks, ill try to use drawers
[08:53] <user___> shredder12: for now you might use just another player. when an x.org-update or vlc-update was installed recheck.. ;-)
[08:53] <quizme> timob: my cron job is not running though
[08:54] <shredder12> user___: how do we  check when the last  update took place..
[08:54] <timob> quizme: does your script work from the command line?
[08:55] <timob> quizme: are you using the full path to the script?
[08:55] <ikonia> !give ikonia a test
[08:55] <timob> quizme: i see you are
[08:55] <user___> gnu_dio: i have an idea.. the fact is exim4 does not log to /var/log/mail.log at all.. look at /var/log/exim4/mainlog
[08:55] <prince_jammys> quizme: specify the full path to your time.log
[08:57] <user___> shredder12: hmm, just found /var/log/dpkg.log on my system. not sure if envyng uses the dpkg-system and leaves a footprint there..
[08:57] <gnu_dio> user___:  ahh. I was about to say that after carefully reconfiguring it still wasn't logging... looking there
[08:57] <user___> gnu_dio: yes, this was some sort of idiots-heureka-moment for me..
[08:58] <gnu_dio> user___: ok this is the currwent logged problem: 2009-03-21 01:54:01 socket bind() to port 25 for address 127.0.0.1 failed: Address already in use: waiting 30s before trying again (1 more try)
[08:59] <prince_jammys> quizme: well, i guess cron uses $HOME as its PWD if you don't specify one, so the file would be at /root
[08:59] <user___> gnu_dio: maybe vanilla sendmail still running?
[08:59] <gnu_dio> user___:  It got removed by apt when I reinstalled exim4
[08:59] <quizme> prince_jammys: oh you means to specify the full path in my script?
[08:59] <gnu_dio> checking by ps -A...
[09:00] <quizme> prince_jammys: yeah, i see it.  it's in /HOME, not where the script is :)
[09:00] <quizme> prince_jammys & timob: thank you guys
[09:01] <Myztikal_> hey
[09:01] <user___> gnu_dio: netstat..
[09:01] <prince_jammys> quizme: cool
[09:01] <Myztikal_> What's the difference between grub and the windows bootloader?
[09:01] <Myztikal_> why would you prefer one over the other?
[09:01] <user___> Myztikal_: what is your goal?, it depends on the user case..
[09:02] <Myztikal_> ohh and if the kernal is upgraded should i delete the information from the grbu lst file?
[09:02] <Myztikal_> i do want to boot into windows by default
[09:02] <quizme> prince_jammys: it seems that root's crontab is here: /etc/crontab
[09:02] <Myztikal_> and i've heard a way vista default in GRUB
[09:02] <quizme> prince_jammys: and crontab -e doesn't seems to be the way to go for root.
[09:03] <gnu_dio> user___:  yes, sendmail-mta was running, killed it, now log is clearly different: http://pastebin.ca/1366982
[09:03] <user___> Myztikal_: you can but you dont have to delete the old-kernel line
[09:03] <prince_jammys> quizme: i was referring to the cron's present working directory when the script is run, since you don't supply a full path on 'time.log'
[09:03] <user___> Myztikal_: you can tell grub in /boot/grub/menu.lst to boot windows by default
[09:04] <Myztikal_> ahh ic
[09:04] <DrunkenPirate> hey guys, I was trying to patch my wireless card among other things, and screwed it up. I want to reinstall the driver/config for the card, how can I do this?
[09:04] <Myztikal_> in your opinion, GRUB or the Windows bootloader?
[09:04] <DrunkenPirate> ubuntu forums r down, I know there is a topic already on it
[09:05] <user___> gnu_dio: *maybe* your killing of sendmail is the reason that the spool is still locked
[09:05] <prince_jammys> quizme: crontab -e should work fine for root.
[09:05] <shredder12> user___:  didn't find much there.. i searched for envy or nvidia nd no content matched... then the last  vlc installation was done by me yesterday..  so no clue here..
[09:06] <gnu_dio> user___: makes sense to me. Can it be unlocked easily? (without a restart, preferably, the server is far from me and if it fails to come back up, it will be days before I can physically fix it....
[09:06] <user___> shredder12: so sadly it seems envy acts independently of the package infrastructure.. not good
[09:06] <bullgard4> "detlef@T42: /$ smbclient -L \\localhost; Error connecting to 127.0.0.1 (Connection refused); Connection to localhost failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED)." How to get rid of this error message?
[09:06] <opryszes> #sosnowiec
[09:07] <drowner> what command can I use to upgrade to Intrepid? Is it apt-get upgrade?
[09:07] <shredder12> user___:  may be i should post it on forums.. hopefully someone there.. could help me.. newaz.. i hav to go now.. thanks for all ur help..
[09:07] <user___> gnu_dio: i suggest to try #linux or #debian. these tribes are really smart (depending on time of the day)
[09:07] <bullgard4> drowner: You can use Synaptic as well.
[09:08] <gnu_dio> user___: OK, I think you've helped me get onto the right path, at least
[09:08] <drowner> bullgard4: Does an LTS (I'm on hardy) give you that option?
[09:08] <sprinkmeier_> Myztikal_, definetely grub. the windows bootloader is a PITA to use for non-MS OSs
[09:08] <user___> gnu_dio: or #ubuntu-server
[09:09] <bullgard4> drowner: Yes.
[09:09] <drowner> Oh ok. sorry, I thought it didn't.
[09:09] <cristi_> hello
[09:10] <cristi_> how ca i remove grub mode
[09:10] <sprinkmeier_> cristi_, remove grub? just install another bootloader over the top
[09:11] <solid_liq> !ping
[09:11] <rww> drowner: Follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades . It has instructions on doing it The Right Way. Doing it The Wrong Way is bad.
[09:11] <cristi_> when i start my computer grub mode shows up and ask me what kernel to load
[09:12] <cristi_> i want to start the first kernel automatic withowst asking me
[09:12] <frybye> hi - I hve the regular skype***.deb package on the desktop and istalled it with the gui device in intreped  - now I am trying to unistall and get:-
[09:12] <frybye> sudo dpkg -p skype-debian_2.0.0.72-1_i386.deb
[09:12] <frybye> Paket »skype-debian_2.0.0.72-1_i386.deb« ist nicht verfügbar.
[09:12] <frybye> btw I am a brit who is in germany ...
[09:12] <cristi_> how to install a boot loader?
[09:12] <sprinkmeier_> cristi_, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, un-commnet "hidemenu" and set the timeout to 1 (I think 0 means indefinetely, but try it)
[09:12] <frybye> the message says - the deb is not available..?
[09:13] <prince_jammys> cristi_: you can probably set `timeout' to zero in your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:13] <frybye> but it is listed when doing ls -l at desktop for instance...
[09:13] <prince_jammys> cristi_: sprinkmeier_ ah, ok, scrap that, if '0' means forever
[09:13] <Alex_21> Is there a full-screen DPAP Client for Hardy? Similar to Apple's Fronrow?
[09:13] <cristi_> when i try to edit that file it says that i am not allowed to edit it
[09:13] <sprinkmeier_> !sudo | cristi_
[09:13] <Phased> sorry guys
[09:13] <rww> cristi_: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:13] <prince_jammys> cristi_: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:13] <Phased> but #archlinux has more users then #ubuntu now
[09:14] <sprinkmeier_> cristi_, "sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[09:14] <Symmetria> hrm, at last, I find a free monitoring system that seems to do 99% of what I want
[09:14] <cristi_> ok
[09:14] <Phased> It's what we call
[09:14] <Symmetria> <3
[09:14] <Phased> Btw,
[09:14] <Phased> ArchLinux is superior to ur ubuntu crap
[09:14] <cristi_> and what should I edit there?
[09:14] <frybye> short version of ? = what needs to be done to unstall a deb package apart from dgkp -p for purge..?
[09:14] <user___> Phased: shut up or #ubuntu+1
[09:14] <sprinkmeier_> Phased, thanks for your enlightened input! come again soon!
[09:14] <user___> Phased: shut up or #ubuntu-offtopic, sorry
[09:14] <tarfart> hi

[09:16] <szal> frybye: 'sudo apt-get remove --purge skype'?
[09:16] <erbish> any of you are using "quick-lounge-applet"?
[09:16] <Alex_21> Help: I need the help iwth getting a Mac Min's sound working with a Minimal Ubuntu Install
[09:16] <sprinkmeier_> tarfart, AFAIK it's for the sound system, which all programs should be using. Some programs can explicitely choose OSS/pulse/alsa, most just use whatever's the default.
[09:16] <frybye> szal - the skype was not installed with apt-get..
[09:17] <szal> frybye: you just said it was..
[09:17] <frybye> szal: will it still work???
[09:17] <frybye> no i downloaded the deb from skype.com and installed it with a double click...
[09:17] <aLeSD> hi all
[09:18] <frybye> GDebi Packet installer was used...
[09:18] <Alex_21> Help: I need the help iwth getting a Mac Min's sound working with a Minimal Ubuntu Install
[09:18] <aLeSD> I installed ... ubuntustudio desktop ... and all in my desktop changed ... how to return back to the normal ubuntu desktop style ?
[09:19] <Alex_21> Select it as GNome from the Login window
[09:19] <ziroday> frybye: dpkg deinstall skype
[09:19] <Alex_21> Or else use "Sudo apt-get remove Ubuntu-Studio" or whatever it was called
[09:19] <frybye> ziroday ok thanks will try...
[09:19] <Alex_21> I've never used Ubuntu Studio
[09:19] <Alex_21> Sorry
[09:19] <ziroday> aLeSD: sudo apt-get remove ubuntustudio and then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[09:20] <cristi_> how do i save the changes to this file? sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:20] <Alex_21> I'll remember that
[09:20] <user___> cristi_: control+o
[09:20] <cristi_> thanks
[09:20] <Alex_21> How do I get sound going when I power on the macine. I have a Minimal Install of ubuntu 8.04
[09:20] <Alex_21> How do I get sound going when I power on the macine. I have a Minimal Install of ubuntu 8.04
[09:21] <Alex_21> Machine?, sorry
[09:21] <se7enup> ubuntu
[09:22] <wanna_learn_more> !bonding
[09:22] <Alex_21> !Sound
[09:24] <cristi_> when i press ctrl-o to save this file in terminal and when i close the terminal the changes are not saved
[09:24] <cristi_> sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:24] <wanna_learn_more> hi can i know the difference of load balancing and bonding?
[09:24] <user___> cristi_: control+o and enter one time
[09:24] <cristi_> what one time?
[09:25] <cristi_> enter?
[09:25] <user___> control+o, enter-key, sorry
[09:25] <cristi_> thanks
[09:25] <ziroday> Alex_21: you can install the beep package and then add a beep command to /etc/rc.local
[09:25] <cristi_> ok
[09:26] <Alex_21> What I want is the actual sound to come out of the system properly without me having to set up anything at boot time. Is this possible?
[09:27] <sprinkmeier_> wanna_learn_more, load balancing = 2 or more servers with network magic in front of them to send requests to them in order to balance the load. magic can be simple (DNS round-robin) or complicated (TCP-handoff).
[09:27] <Alex_21> Remember I have nothing but Fluxbox installed
[09:27] <adben> hi, how to force to my fglrx driver in the xorg.conf to load an especific resolution and frec (modeline didnt work)?
[09:27] <sprinkmeier_> wanna_learn_more, bonding = using 2 or more network channels to simulate one faster one (sorta like RAID1 for networks)
[09:27] <marcusdavidus> hi
[09:28] <marcusdavidus>  anyone can help me with pulse lol becouse im tottally pissed on  tis thing

[09:33] <spaceninja> how do I install gridwars?
[09:33] <marcusdavidus> so i make another question who got working microphone in skype in intrepid with pulse
[09:33] <marcusdavidus> spaceninja:  www.google.com

[09:35] <sprinkmeier_> Alex_21, I thouhg screen readers were already installed and simply needed to be turned on. is it orca?
[09:35] <marcusdavidus> timob:  i know how to make skype without pulse but if i install this lubudubu i want damned pulse
[09:35] <sprinkmeier_> Alex_21, ssytem->prefs->assistive tech

[09:35] <Alex_21> I'm using fluxbox
[09:35] <spaceninja> marcusdavidus: why isn't it in the repos in the first place+
[09:35] <wanna_learn_more> !load balance
[09:36] <wanna_learn_more> !loadbalance
[09:36] <Alex_21> I installed a minimal Ubuntu 8.94 system
[09:36] <DrunkenPirate> I screwed up my wireless system. Any way to restet/uninstall the drivers/config?
[09:36] <mariano> hi
[09:36] <cristi_> heloo what do you recomand ubuntu or kubunu for a 256 mb ram computer?
[09:36] <marcusdavidus> spaceninja:  i have no idea try gentoo in gentoo  it is dunnow hy not in ubuntu i just install it 2 days ago
[09:36] <Alex_21> Orca is installed by defaut with GNOME Ubuntu-Desktop :)
[09:36] <peace> mariano: dio caro
[09:36] <marcusdavidus> cristi_:  gentoo ubuntu will work rly bad on 256 same kubuntu
[09:36] <sprinkmeier_> wanna_learn_more, have you tried wikipedia?
[09:36] <marcusdavidus> cristi_:  or try xubuntu and remove xfce and install fluxbox
[09:37] <szal> marcusdavidus: Gentoo?
[09:37] <marcusdavidus> szal:  indeed
[09:37] <cristi_> but ubuntu hardy heron
[09:37] <szal> marcusdavidus: there's Fluxbuntu after all
[09:37] <marcusdavidus> szal:  yes is what i say install xubuntu and shiwth to flux
[09:37] <prince_jammys> marcusdavidus: try asoundconf
[09:37] <sprinkmeier_> cristi_, xubtutu, xfce is lighter than either of those. though fluxbox is apparently lighter still
[09:38] <szal> cristi_: or install a text-only system and add it up w/ LXde and OpenBox
[09:38] <cristi_> but im using ubuntu and i have no problem it works fine with video efect gull
[09:38] <marcusdavidus> prince_jammys:   i want alsaconf not asound conf alsaconf  detect card and  setup modules ofr it jesus
[09:38] <Ocol> Hey, is there anyway to secure folders with password without encryption in ubuntu? :) I don't need that much security, but some folders would be nice to stay personal.
[09:39] <Alex_21> How do I get sound woriking from the Minimal install
[09:39] <marcusdavidus> Ocol:  just make that user can only sit in his home
[09:39] <Alex_21> Please
[09:39] <sprinkmeier_> Ocol, chmod 700
[09:39] <marcusdavidus>  so no one can go to / or homes of other users
[09:39] <user___> Ocol: there only is encryption or not, because anyone with access to your harddisk and a live-cd can play root
[09:39] <prince_jammys> Alex_21: did you try what i said or not?
[09:39] <Ocol> Hmm.
[09:39] <DrunkenPirate> !wireless
[09:40] <cristi_> I use ubuntu on a 256 mb ram computer 128 mb video and works fast and fine why do you say that is not recomanded?
[09:40] <Alex_21> I can't. I can't read the output that that command generates
[09:40] <marcusdavidus> ok so anyone got working howto  intrepid + skype + micro + pulse ?
[09:40] <sprinkmeier_> marcusdavidus, "sudo chmod 700 /home/*" should keep your users out of each other's homedirs. might have some sideeffects, use with care.
[09:40] <Ocol> But the encryption takes very much time and is painfull for example thousands of family pictures or something.
[09:40] <adben> actually i, but all in pulse works for me
[09:41] <Ocol> And sounds scifi
[09:41] <marcusdavidus> sprinkmeier_:  why u tell me that ?
[09:41] <anurag> i have downloaded tran-1.51, but its not a deb package. it contains several folders like "cli","gtk","deamon" etc. how can i install it ?
[09:41] <cristi_> hey if you have audio problems in skype try editing the options on audio tab
[09:41] <anurag> i have downloaded transmission-1.51, but its not a deb package. it contains several folders like "cli","gtk","deamon" etc. how can i install it ?
[09:41] <sprinkmeier_> marcusdavidus, oops, wrong target :-)
[09:41] <marcusdavidus> cristi_:  o rly ?? girl i already try everythign i know from gentoo and  nothign works with this pulse horror thing
[09:41] <Alex_21> How can I install this thing?
[09:42] <prince_jammys> Alex_21: how are you able to use irc?
[09:42] <Alex_21> What packages do I need?
[09:42] <forevertheuni> hello how can I use the ubuntu cd
[09:42] <cristi_> hey i am a mle not a girl!!
[09:42] <forevertheuni> but not go to X?
[09:42] <anurag> anyone ?
[09:42] <forevertheuni> only stay in console?
[09:42] <sprinkmeier_> Ocol, encryption doesn't take that much time, I use full-disk encryption on laptops and removable medial all the time.
[09:42] <marcusdavidus> cristi_:  of course i can jsut kill pulse and setup alsa but this is not an option if i make working system ther e is no ways like kill something
[09:42] <Ocol> Hmm
[09:43] <rjzaar> How do I kill a process that is listening on a particular port?
[09:43] <Ocol> But the problem is always that you need to decrypt too to use it?
[09:43] <syentifiq_> hello I'm having some trouble with wireless internet when runing an e16 session
[09:43] <Alex_21> cristi_: Then why the "cristi_"
[09:43] <Alex_21> ?
[09:43] <syentifiq_> any help would be appreciated
[09:43] <prince_jammys> maybe his name is cristian
[09:43] <sprinkmeier_> forevertheuni, easiest way is to install ubuntu-server. it goes to non-X by default. I can't find the runlevel stuff I used to use... anyone?
[09:44] <forevertheuni> sprinkmeier_: eheh  I thought of that...but i'm out of cd's..how lame am I
[09:44] <sprinkmeier_> rjune, "sudo netstat -ntp" should give you the PID, then ye olde "kill -9"
[09:44] <forevertheuni> anyways ty
[09:44] <forevertheuni> ubuntu-server has grub?
[09:44] <forevertheuni> grub-install etc?
[09:45] <sprinkmeier_> forevertheuni, /etc/inittab used to control the runlevel but that seems to be missing. Not sure what mechanism ubuntu uses now. Anyone?
[09:45] <user___> forevertheuni: maybe you can query ubotu or equivalent in #ubuntu-server
[09:45] <lstarnes> sprinkmeier_: ubuntu uses upstart
[09:45] <sprinkmeier_> forevertheuni, ubuntu-server has pretty much everything ubuntu-desktop has, only it starts w/o X and installs a few different things by default.
[09:45] <guntbert> !upstart | sprinkmeier_ , forevertheuni
[09:45] <nyad> hi. I want to host online games, but it appears as though a firewall is blocking me, in ubuntu 8.04 I had no problems, but something in 8.10 is stopping me
[09:45] <forevertheuni> lstarnes: can we boot from the cd only to console withouth starting X?
[09:46] <lstarnes> forevertheuni: I don't know
[09:46] <nyad> Is there a way I can disable this firewall thingy?
[09:46] <forevertheuni> ok ty
[09:46] <sprinkmeier_> lstarnes, guntbert Thanks! that's been bothering me, reading that now.....
[09:46] <user___> nyad: maybe ufw disable
[09:47] <Alex_21> How can I install this thing?
[09:47] <Alex_21> What packages do I need?
[09:47] <Ocol> Why does the synaptic install java with restricted codecs? o.O
[09:47] <guntbert> Alex_21: what thing? what is your problem?
[09:47] <prince_jammys> Alex_21: how are you able to read the irc output?
[09:47] <gnu_dio> user___: I got it "working" with exim4, mostly due to your help, thanks. Now my problem is only that I'm in a dynamic address range and I need to send to hotmail, and hotmail blocks all dynamic IPs. oh, well. but you solved the problem I had, thanks. Now on to workarounds for this issue
[09:48] <marcusdavidus> ok so noe oen knwo how to make intrepid works wiht skype and pusle?
[09:48] <marcusdavidus>  pulse
[09:48] <user___> gnu_dio: get a decent mail provider ;-) hotmail has had its peak i believe
[09:48] <Alex_21> I have a work around for that
[09:49] <Alex_21> Use a free relay like Google APPS
[09:49] <guntbert> marcusdavidus: try to slow down a bit when typing - we all will be able to read your statements better :-))
[09:49] <gnu_dio> user___:  :) heh My boss made the account, and said "mail it to this one" so that's what I tried.
[09:49] <marcusdavidus> ok guntbert : is anyone out there have a way to make ubuntu intrepid works with skype and pulse audio without killing pulse audio becouse this is no solution
[09:49] <nyad> user___, I turned off ufw and it doesn't change anything. perhaps IP forwarding is disabled in kernel?
[09:50] <Ocol> Is there anyway to get hotmail working with evolution? I guess they block their pop..
[09:50] <Alex_21> I have a screen reader on OS X Leopard to read the irC Channel
[09:50] <Ocol> Of course it could be done by forwarding the emails to gmail but that's a bit tricky
[09:50] <user___> gnu_dio: you could create an additional account with a decent provider and forward
[09:50] <marcusdavidus> Alex_21:  i got gnome working and lookign like leopard**
[09:50] <Alex_21> And my problem is that I have a Ubuntu 8.04 minimal CD install box that I need to get sound out of
[09:50] <marcusdavidus> Alex_21:  download debian miniam cd and no problems
[09:50] <user___> nyad: hmm, what does 'ufw status' say?
[09:51] <gnu_dio> user___:  can you reccommend a free host that won't block my dynamic IP address?
[09:51] <prince_jammys> Alex_21: shouldn't you get a screen reader for ubuntu first?
[09:51] <user___> gnu_dio: sorry, no, anyone?
[09:51] <prince_jammys> Alex_21: or do you have one already?
[09:51] <marcusdavidus> Alex_21:  sudo install alsa-base or alsa have no idea what this package get name in ubuntu
[09:51] <guntbert> marcusdavidus: I have skype  on intrepid running and working, but I got no idea what sound system I'm using - so I won't be of much help to you :(
[09:51] <nyad> user___,  Status: not loaded  (this is after $ sudo ufw disable)
[09:51] <marcusdavidus> guntbert: pff
[09:52] <cristi_> intreprind ibex is stable ?
[09:52] <Alex_21> I need to get sound before I can use a screen reader
[09:52] <marcusdavidus> cristi_:  ubuntu is sable ?? nice joke anyway
[09:52] <marcusdavidus>  stable*
[09:52] <user___> nyad: i dont understand how ip-forwarding comes into play.. you wanted to disable the firewall and now it is disabled?
[09:53] <cristi_> i heard that has a lot of bugs but the oficial edition is diferent
[09:53] <prince_jammys> Alex_21: ok, try sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-oss alsa-tools alsa-utils  (just get everything)
[09:53] <marcusdavidus> cristi_:  ubuntu =  i want be stable like debian but im more windows alike
[09:53] <guntbert> !offtopic | marcusdavidus
[09:54] <DrunkenPirate> any way to reinstall ubuntu from inside ubuntu or windows?
[09:54] <nyad> user___, I want to play online games, everything worked in 8.04 but in 8.10 it behaves as though it was a firewall blocking, people can see my game but cant join, (I have forwarded router ports etc)
[09:54] <marcusdavidus> guntbert:  ok so on toppic HOW TO MAKE SKYPE WORK WITH PULCE AUDIO pls howtoos links to whatever beocouse only solution google dinds is kill pulseaudio
[09:54] <marcusdavidus> finds*

[09:55] <guntbert> marcusdavidus: please do not shout and slow down on the keyboard and watch your language
[09:55] <marcusdavidus> prince_jammys:  THIS WAS first site i check rly
[09:56] <DrunkenPirate> marcusdavidus: http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=101484
[09:56] <marcusdavidus> prince_jammys: These instructions were tested and work with Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 and Skype 1.3. As of March 2008, Skype-Rec does not work for versions of Skype after 1.3
[09:57] <Alex_21> Thanks for your help
[09:57] <Alex_21> Good night
[09:58] <Ocol> Uh, skype can be installed on ubuntu? Awesome, thanks for link :P
[09:58] <nyad> user___, no ideas as to what changed in 8.10 that could be affecting me?
[09:58] <user___> nyad: what does 'sudo iptables --list' output?
[09:58] <jimka> The end of the world.
[09:58] <jimka> :)
[09:58] <marcusdavidus> DrunkenPirate:  pff i heard everything ( like b efore ) but mic is silent liek it was
[09:59] <marcusdavidus> DrunkenPirate:  another idea?
[09:59] <jimka> Tried using the mic with some other program other then skype?
[09:59] <marcusdavidus> jimka:  hmm not on ubuntu is work fine on gent
[09:59] <jimka> ugh, grammar
[10:00] <Flimm> !screencast > Flimm
[10:00] <nyad> user___, Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)      and all the others have policy ACCEPT, target     prot opt source      destination   fields are empty
[10:00] <marcusdavidus> jimka:  not native ^^ so srry fro that
[10:00] <marcusdavidus> for*
[10:00] <jimka> no, I mean, my grammar ;P
[10:00] <user___> nyad: ok, no firewall active (ufw is a comfort layer on top of iptables)
[10:00] <marcusdavidus> jimka:  :P anyway any program that use mic under ubu ?
[10:01] <jimka> using gnome?
[10:01] <magnetron> marcusdavidus→ wait, are you asking if there are any programs that are using the mic in ubuntu? i'd have to say yes.
[10:01] <gnu_dio> user___: gmail works, all problems solves perfectly. thanks for all your help, I'm done. :)  !!!!!!
[10:01] <jimka> I think you should have a  menu item marked 'Sound Recorder'. Not used it myself but looks like it should work.
[10:01] <Flimm> Anyone know of a good firewall that controls applications?
[10:01] <user___> nyad: let me check if theres a ubuntu network channel
[10:01] <PerryArmstrong> can anyone check this http://imagebin.ca/view/89vUXuP.html
[10:02] <marcusdavidus> jimka:  yes gnome magnetron oh thanx  incredible but name ws be more incredible
[10:02] <magnetron> marcusdavidus→ as jimka said, "sound recorder" is one of them
[10:03] <user___> nyad: you might try #ubuntu-server: they are more into networks than us
[10:03] <jimka> Another suggestion is to go over the input/output sinks in alsa/pulse audio to make sure that skype uses the correct ones.
[10:03] <nyad> user___, ok, thanks for your time
[10:03] <user___> nyad: sure ,-)
[10:03] <user___> nyad: sure ;-)
[10:03] <marcusdavidus> magnetron:  and package name for that im not gnome user
[10:04] <user___> gnu_dio: great!
[10:04] <marcusdavidus> magnetron:  nvm is in menu
[10:04] <bazhang> marcusdavidus, you just said you used gnome
[10:04] <marcusdavidus> bazhang:  i use gnoem from 2 days im fluxbox user
[10:04] <marcusdavidus> gnome*
[10:05] <marcusdavidus> micro dont works :(
[10:05] <PerryArmstrong> bazhang can you check this error while installing packages from the repos in my friends laptop http://imagebin.ca/view/89vUXuP.html
[10:05] <marcusdavidus> and alsamix show only pulse audio
[10:06] <bazhang> PerryArmstrong, this was trying to install xchat?
[10:06] <guntbert> PerryArmstrong: to me it looks like problems to write to the harddisk, but I can be mistaken
[10:06] <PerryArmstrong> bazhang; yes....its the same with any package that i install
[10:06] <bazhang> PerryArmstrong, what error do you get if you try from the terminal; ie does it say try -f install ?

[10:20] <prince_jammys> Qorel_: rm -r .local/share/Trash/*
[10:20] <pointerness> ac999 press ctrl+alt+f8
[10:20] <pointerness> to see if any error messages are being reported
[10:20] <Flimm> What's a good firewall that controls applications?
[10:21] <error404notfound> anyone here uses fluxbox?
[10:21] <pointerness> try logging onto terminal session
[10:21] <sprinkmeier_> Flimm, iptables. the trick is to configure it :-)
[10:21] <pointerness> stop kdm
[10:21] <PerryArmstrong> guntbert; http://imagebin.ca/view/k4lZIfi.html
[10:21] <mrwes> Flimm, ubuntu comes with iptables -- use firestarter to manage it
[10:21] <pointerness> and start it again
[10:21] <mrwes> !firewall
[10:21] <marcusdavidus> error404notfound: me
[10:21] <mrwes> Flimm, are you behind a router?
[10:21] <Lepohi> Does anyone know why 'su' and 'sudo' are comming up as 'authentication failure' in kubuntu 8.10? I wasn't even prompted for a root password during install, do i need to add my user account to a sudoers list or something?
[10:21] <abe_> kalle_ have you tried sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/volatile/fglrx.ko
[10:22] <Flimm> Yeah, but I want a firewall that controls applications individually, a la zone alarm
[10:22] <erUSUL> Lepohi: yu have to use your password with sudo
[10:22] <kalle_> abe_ no i haven't
[10:22] <error404notfound> marcusdavidus: mind sending a screeshot of your desktop showing the menu and etc?
[10:22] <erUSUL> !sudo | Lepohi
[10:22] <guntbert> PerryArmstrong: you've mounted /var on another partition (/dev/sda6) and its full
[10:23] <prince_jammys> lolman: your user should already be in /etc/sudoers
[10:23] <Qorel_> prince_jammys: i had tried it..but this the result rm: cannot remove `.local/share/Trash/kertaSdinding': No such file or directory
[10:23] <sprinkmeier_> Flimm, iptables will to that. I don't know if any of the GUI's that help configure it are able to block apps, you may have to use the commansline.
[10:23] <prince_jammys> Lepohi: your user should already be in /etc/sudoers
[10:23] <ac999> pointerness: ctrl-alt-f8 is not working on mac, any other suggestion?
[10:23] <prince_jammys> lolman: sorry, wrong nick.
[10:23] <PerryArmstrong> guntbert; so whats the solution??
[10:23] <lolman> prince_jammys: it's fine :)
[10:23] <Lepohi> prince_jammys: Is there a default root password then?
[10:23] <drowner> are the forums down? is this new?
[10:23] <prince_jammys> Lepohi: no, sudo allows a sudoer to use his/her own password
[10:24] <erUSUL> Lepohi: no; there is no root password use your user's password with sudo
[10:24] <Flimm> I am behind a router, by the way
[10:24] <Lepohi> prince_jammys: I just get 'Authentication failure' whenever i try
[10:24] <lolman> drowner: the forums do seem to be down, some sort of database error
[10:24] <erUSUL> Lepohi: e.g "sudo aptitude update" when asked use your users password
[10:24] <xukun> can somebody please help me moving nzb file up in the queue? I can't seem to understand this reading man page. Sorry I did not get any answer at #hellanzb
[10:24] <drowner> lolman: cheers
[10:25] <richj> xukun are you using hellanzb?
[10:25] <guntbert> PerryArmstrong: thats not so easy, especially as /usr is full too - that will be a longer session, please ask the channel again, I gotta leave soon
[10:25] <xukun> richj, yes
[10:25] <mrwes> Flimm, have you forwarded any ports from your router to your computer?
[10:25] <prince_jammys> Lepohi: so you get an error when you use your own password? did you change your host name ?
[10:25] <PerryArmstrong> thanks guntbert....
[10:25] <lolman> drowner: they're back up for me now...;P
[10:25] <mrwes> sigh...everyone wants a 'firewall'....
[10:25] <richj> xukun there is an excellent front end gui: LottaNZB
[10:25] <Qorel_> help......
[10:25] <guntbert> PerryArmstrong: good luck
[10:26] <mrwes> 9 times out of 10 they screw up their computer :)
[10:26] <PerryArmstrong> guntbert; will reinstallation help???
[10:26] <xukun> richj, thank you so much I will look in to that
[10:26] <marcusdavidus> i have fluxbox on gentoo now im on debian
[10:26] <Lepohi> erUSUL: ah i see, do i cant use 'su' then provide a password and stay under root for the term session?
[10:26] <prince_jammys> Lepohi: use sudo -i for that
[10:26] <erUSUL> Lepohi: if you want a root shell use « sudo -i »
[10:26] <erUSUL> !rootshell | Lepohi
[10:27] <richj> xukun: hellanzb -list gives you the id number of each nzb in the queue
[10:27] <guntbert> PerryArmstrong: if you let the installer repartition, yes it should (there seems to be no other OS)
[10:27] <Lepohi> erUSUL: ubottu: i see, thanks :) jut come from fedora
[10:27] <richj> xukun: hellanzb -force x Where x is the number of the nzb, will make it start downloading, move to top of queue
[10:27] <bazhang> Qorel_, ask a question
[10:27] <erUSUL> Lepohi: ubottu is our beloved bot XD
[10:28] <marcusdavidus> srry in this moment got only  screens  of xfce4 on my gent
[10:28] <kraut> moin
[10:28] <ac999> How can I resotre screen setting without logging into GUI?
[10:28] <pointerness> ac999 what about ctrl+alt+f1
[10:28] <forevertheuni> hmm can I use ubuntu CD to boot to /dev/sda2? I got grub wiped and wanted to boot to my previous system
[10:29] <kalle_> insmod: can't read '/lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/volatile/fglrx.ko': No such file or directory
[10:29] <kalle_> what does that mean
[10:29] <guntbert> PerryArmstrong: to many small partitions will make you less flexible in the end
[10:29] <ac999> I tried ctrl-alt-f6 and I was able to go into shell prompt
[10:29] <pointerness> do u see the login prompt
[10:29] <erUSUL> kalle_: that the file is not there
[10:29] <szal> forevertheuni: SuperGrubDisk
[10:29] <ac999> so right now I am in non UI mode
[10:29] <marcusdavidus> im unable to make this works with thsi pulse so like every howto shows killall -9 pulseaudio
[10:29] <kalle_> yea i know it
[10:29] <pointerness> stop kdm
[10:29] <guntbert> !de | kraut
[10:29] <kalle_> but how do i fix it?
[10:29] <forevertheuni> szal: that's a distro?
[10:30] <pointerness> the command should be sudo kdm stop
[10:30] <Qorel_> bazhang, i had problem to empty my trash....
[10:30] <pointerness> and start it back again
[10:30] <PerryArmstrong> guntbert; i'll jut put up a automatic resizing...what do you think??? while installing i put up manual and i allocated space
[10:30] <richj> or sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop
[10:30] <pointerness> sudo kdm start
[10:30] <szal> forevertheuni: nah, that's just a very comprehensive GRUB on CD or floppy
[10:30] <ac999> I think if I delete logged in users files then it may help in restoring screen
[10:31] <Tmi> What program is is that does the automatic harddrive checking at boot? Can I run checks after X have started? My checks are a bit out of sync so I'd rather do it once now on all drives so they sync up their autochecks :P
[10:31] <kraut> guntbert: and for this little greeting-word you are getting insane and annoy me with this silly bot message?
[10:31] <kraut> gunsch: don't you have anything else to do?
[10:31] <bazhang> Qorel_, and prince_jammys gave you the answer scroll up ^^
[10:31] <richj> fsck
[10:31] <guntbert> PerryArmstrong: do you have any valuable data (in /home or so)? - then caution!
[10:31] <sprinkmeier_> Tmi, "sudo touch /forcefsck" and reboot
[10:31] <Tmi> ok, thank you
[10:31] <mrwes> sprinkmeier_, that'll force a fsck on the next boot?
[10:32] <PerryArmstrong> guntbert; no data
[10:32] <Qorel_> that's doesnt work...
[10:33] <sprinkmeier_> mrwes, yes, see /etc/init.d/checkfs.sh
[10:33] <richj> didnt kno that sprinkmeier_, cheers
[10:33] <erUSUL> Tmi: ext3 filesystem are configured to be checked after 30 reboots (iirc) it is done automatically during boot
[10:33] <guntbert> PerryArmstrong: then go ahead, let ubuntu "use the whole disk", mind you will get only two partitions then, if you want to keep /home separate tell it to leave some space on the disk for later
[10:34] <quibbler> Qorel_: sudo rm -rf /home/your_name/.local/share/Trash/
[10:34] <PerryArmstrong> guntbert; i have XP and vista also...so its ubuntu has only 25 GB...so shall i allow ubuntu to take up this space automatically
[10:34] <Tmi> erUSUL, yeah I know, but due to a bit of "pulling out a few harddrives sometimes" they are now checked "out of sync", so at one boot one disc is shceked, then after a few boots another disk is checked and so on .... I just want them all to be checked at the same time, so if I force a check on all they will from now on be checked at the same time :=
[10:34] <mrwes> sprinkmeier_, thank...learned something new
[10:35] <ac999> still not working
[10:35] <richj> PerryArmstrong: recommended for beginners
[10:35] <Qorel_> ok...it working quibbler....thkz..
[10:35] <quibbler> Qorel_: no problem man
[10:36] <erUSUL> Tmi: i see now; maybe the "sudo touch /forcefsck" works if you do it on all the filesystems dunno
[10:36] <guntbert> PerryArmstrong: yes, don't let it take the "whole disk" then, but all 25GB
[10:36] <dr_curious__> hi! I have a problem with ndiswrapper. I loaded it without any problems and I can log in to the Internet but the connection goes out in every 4 minutes or so. I read it can be related with WAP encyrption. Any ideas?
[10:36] <mrwes> sprinkmeier_, so when it sees the forcefsck file it'll run? very nice
[10:36] <sprinkmeier_> erUSUL, no, just the root filesystem wil do. it will then check anything fstab tells it to auto-mount.
[10:38] <dr_curious__> anyone available? :)
[10:38] <abhishekbatra> i art

[10:39] <PerryArmstrong> guntbert; ohhh thankss..
[10:39] <DASPRiD> Hello there. when switchting from gdm to tty1 or so, the pc speaker first beeps about 20 times really fast (for a bout 2-3 seconds), and then displays the console. I couldnt find any error in the logs yet.
[10:39] <richj> dr_curious__ what type of wireless card are you using? which driver?
[10:39] <mrwes> dr_curious__, there's only 1300 plus people in here :)
[10:39] <dr_curious__> richj: AirTies WUS 300
[10:40] <guntbert> PerryArmstrong: you're welcome - and good luck - I'm off for now
[10:40] <dr_curious__> richj: and its Windows driver
[10:40] <richj> dr_curious__ what version of ubuntu are you using?
[10:40] <dr_curious__> richj: 8.10 Intrepid Ibex
[10:41] <PerryArmstrong> guntbert; bye
[10:42] <kalle_> which driver should i download from ATI's site if I have ATI Radeon X1200 Series?
[10:43] <ludo_> slt
[10:43] <ludo_> j'aurais besoin de conseil
[10:43] <szal> !fr | ludo_
[10:44] <richj> dr_curious__: i dont have an answer for you. If you can afford to buy a supported wireless card, I would suggest doing so. My appologies
[10:45] <dr_curious__> richj: no problem. I want to add though, when I reload the drivers every time the connection cuts, it just reconnects.
[10:46] <Alex_21> Is it just me or is the forums down from Canada?
[10:46] <Alex_21> I can't accessit using a computer in Canada
[10:46] <magnetron> kalle_→ nobody here will offer support for any drivers you download manually from any website. use the "hardware drivers" tool insted.
[10:46] <Myztikal_> It's down :(
[10:47] <Alex_21> that depends who nobody is. Some people probably will
[10:47] <Alex_21> But they'll be rare
[10:47] <magnetron> kalle_→ btw there are channels for help in Swedish and Finnish too if you would like that
[10:48] <Alex_21> Are the Forums down then?
[10:48] <Alex_21> Or is it just me
[10:48] <kalle_> magnetron i know
[10:48] <Alex_21> ?
[10:48] <Alex_21> Lol
[10:49] <Alex_21> I just get a database error
[10:49] <richj> dr_curious__ I would suggest looking through "dmesg" output may yeild clues, or "dmesg | tail" right after it happens
[10:49] <Alex_21> What is going on? Please
[10:49] <erUSUL> !enter | Alex_21
[10:50] <bazhang> Alex_21, yes they are down
[10:50] <Alex_21> How long have they been down?
[10:51] <cristi_> alex 21
[10:51] <cristi_> are you there
[10:51] <richj> Alex_21 They were down an hour ago. I don't know how long before then.
[10:52] <dtb> down for about past 5 hours for me.. google cache ftw
[10:52] <dtb> anyone know what has caused it?
[10:52] <bazhang> !ot
[10:54] <Alex_21> Thanks for your help
[10:54] <Alex_21> Good night
[10:54] <dr_curious__> thank you all, me splits  :)
[10:54] <drive> halo????????????
[10:55] <paolo> ciao
[10:55] <Gen2ly> are ubuntu forums down?
[10:55] <paolo> !list
[10:56] <Gen2ly> Could someone look at them for me (ubuntuforums.org), I've been having internet problems.
[10:56] <enterneo> how can I use <Ctrl>+<ArrowKeys> to switch between viewports, I cannot seem to find an option in CCCM
[10:56] <tarfart> hello
[10:56] <tarfart> why is hydra not listed under apt-cache search
[10:57] <richj> Gen2ly: yes the forums are down
[10:57] <crdlb> enterneo: look in the Desktop Wall plugin
[10:57] <dronix> tarfart: check your repositories
[10:57] <Gen2ly> richj: thanks, I'll try to live with out them. :)
[10:58] <hans-rudolf> Why can't I define a subpattern like this: "(fri|satur|sun)day" and match three days of the week, with grep? It's posix regex.
[10:58] <prince_jammys> hans-rudolf: grep -E
[10:58] <hans-rudolf> capital E?
[10:58] <prince_jammys> hans-rudolf: that's extended regex syntax
[10:58] <hans-rudolf> i see
[10:58] <prince_jammys> yes, grep -E or egrep
[10:58] <hans-rudolf> thanks
[10:58] <enterneo> crdlb, got it, thanks :D
[10:58] <hans-rudolf> alot
[10:59] <prince_jammys> welcome
[10:59] <prince_jammys> hans-rudolf: both are posix, but grep used BRE (basic regex) syntax by default
[10:59] <prince_jammys> s/used/uses/
[11:00] <Qorel_> anybody know why my ubuntu always hang when i press hot key like ctrl>alt>f1???
[11:00] <hans-rudolf> prince_jammys: I understand, typical case of me not reading the man page thoroughly.
[11:00] <prince_jammys> :)
[11:01] <prince_jammys> Qorel_: it doesn't send you to a console?
[11:01] <dronix> Qorel: ubuntu might have misconfigure your keyboard try installing the proper drivers
[11:01] <Qorel_> no...why??
[11:01] <prince_jammys> what happens?
[11:02] <sky_> hi anyone can me help with installing World of Warcraft ?
[11:02] <dude7064> What's the maximum number of connections a windows OS can accept ? what about Ubuntu ?
[11:02] <sky_> i have it on my DVD and there are isos...and i dont know what i must do :(
[11:03] <Qorel_> my ubuntu hang suddenly hang..but mouse still move...
[11:03] <dronix> sky_ if the installer ends in .exe then you'll need wine
[11:03] <sky_> dronix: i ll need to know how to mount isos and then run installer.exe ?
[11:03] <aprilhare> hello. - I have a problem. whenever I try to upgrade my packages I get the following situation; I'm using intrepid. can anyone suggest what to do here? http://pastebin.com/d51159626
[11:04] <Qorel_> dronix how??
[11:04] <dronix> sky_ .exe extension is from windows, either get the linux version for wow or mount the iso after insalling winw
[11:05] <gartral> why are there 2 java jre sets in repos??
[11:05] <richj> sky_ gmountiso http://swik.net/gmountiso is a gui for mounting things
[11:05] <sky_> thank you
[11:07] <aprilhare> gartral: consider yourself lucky, you've got choice. personally i use neither - i handinstalled x64 sun java - got a 64 bit specific sun java web plugin
[11:07] <szal> gartral: because they might be needed..  on my openSUSE I have both JRE 5 and 6 installed
[11:08] <sky_> richj: kiss for you mate ;)))
[11:08] <JessicaParker> hi can anyone assist with a network install im doing ?
[11:08] <sky_> richj: thank you very much mate !!!
[11:08] <aprilhare> hello. - I have a problem. whenever I try to upgrade my packages I get the following situation; I'm using intrepid. can anyone suggest what to do here? http://pastebin.com/d51159626
[11:08] <richj> sky_ no worries: gmountiso should be installed by default imho
[11:08] <sky_> richj: i downloaded it from repositories
[11:09] <JessicaParker> i downloaded the cd but it seems to be missing the pxelinux.0 file (network load, no cd / usb not working on target machine, dhcp now set up)
[11:09] <bazhang> aprilhare, some packages are being held back
[11:09] <aprilhare> bazhang: yes I know. should i ignore and partial upgrade or is there something i can do?
[11:09] <JessicaParker> error im getting on target machine is cannot find configuration file
[11:10] <KalEl> hi, i bought a 500gb internal drive. what partition scheme should i follow? last time i partitioned a hard disk was a 40gb hard disk.
[11:10] <bazhang> aprilhare, you can choose the command dist-upgrade if you want to get them right away; there may be a important reason to wait until they are made normally available though
[11:10] <aprilhare> ok
[11:11] <sky_> richj: i love gui appz :)...i am so happy that it works maan !
[11:11] <szal> KalEl: be sure to set up a separate /home, all else is up to you
[11:11] <gartral> szal: so there both offered solely for compatibility?
[11:11]  * aprilhare partial upgrades
[11:11] <szal> gartral: guess so
[11:11] <gartral> thanks all
[11:11] <peachy> hello, doing an audit, anyone care to install the Swiss German wordlist file (http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/wordlist) and upload it for me?
[11:12] <bazhang> peachy, an audit?
[11:12] <peachy> yes
[11:12] <shyam_k> somehow, i installed packages from a "newer" repo and now several packages show clashes, like i have a later version of python installed, but main repo is having an older python-dev so i cannot install python-dev.. anyway out other than a new installation?
[11:12] <bazhang> peachy, what prevents you from installing it on your own system
[11:12] <bazhang> shyam_k, what newer repo
[11:13] <peachy> bazhang > my audit box isn't ubuntu and I've limited connectivity
[11:13] <shyam_k> bazhang: don't remember exactly i think i mixed with intrepid repo i think..
[11:13] <bazhang> shyam_k, are you mixing version repos?
[11:13] <bazhang> peachy, what about in a virtualbox then
[11:14] <bazhang> shyam_k, let us see your sources.list
[11:14] <richj> forum is back up
[11:14] <peachy> I have limited connectivity ... I can't exactly download & install ubuntu at 8kb/sec
[11:14] <bazhang> peachy, then you are not running ubuntu at all?
[11:14] <aprilhare> why not just the wordlist package then and unarchive
[11:14] <peachy> well, not within the next hour in any rate which is when I will have exhausted my wordlists
[11:15] <peachy> I don't see a link to it
[11:15] <shyam_k> bazhang: actually i am using gnewsense and i happen to include hardy repo too to the sources and now i think hardy is a lill updated so packages are new.. but i have now removed the hardy repo too..
[11:15] <aprilhare> http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/wswiss
[11:15] <peachy> if someone could link me to the wordlist I can grab it & do the rest
[11:15] <peachy> k thanx
[11:16] <bazhang> shyam_k, then you should seek out gnewsense support as this is ubuntu support
[11:16] <bazhang> !ultimate
[11:16] <bazhang> shyam_k, /join #gnewsense
[11:16] <shyam_k> ofcourse am there..
[11:17] <shyam_k> just asked hoping to get some magical tool which can forgive all your apt sins:)
[11:17] <bazhang> shyam_k, if you come to #ubuntu-offtopic I wll take a look
[11:17] <shyam_k> actually is there any tool which can "downgrade" apps and regain system harmony?
[11:18] <shyam_k> say i mixed version repos..
[11:18] <bazhang> shyam_k, no
[11:18] <shyam_k> hmm..
[11:19] <shyam_k> anything we can do? at the worst, like i first experienced the penance when i was trying to upgrade from debian etch to lenny an year ago..
[11:19] <bazhang> shyam_k, that is offtopic here
[11:19] <shyam_k> okok
[11:19] <bazhang> shyam_k, please join the appropriate channel to discuss
[11:20] <shyam_k> i was just generally talking about the apt system.
[11:20] <bazhang> !apt-get
[11:20] <richj> remove the wrong lines, apt-get update, apt-get upgrade
[11:20] <bazhang> that wont do it
[11:21] <richj> it will eventually..
[11:22] <shyam_k> richj: hmm yeah that seems to be the only solution to complete go for the newest softwares..
[11:22] <shyam_k> bazhang: it won't do it?
[11:23] <nimportequoi> salut
[11:23] <shyam_k> nimportequoi: stand at ease.
[11:23] <bazhang> !ot | shyam_k
[11:23] <shyam_k> okokok.. am done..:)
[11:24] <shyam_k> and thanks bazhang
[11:24] <nimportequoi> that's just for a test. thank you and good bye!
[11:25] <xarvh> Hi! Could you guys help me with pmount?     "pmount /dev/sde1" gives me an "unit is not removable", but "cat /sys/block/sde/removable" is "1"....
[11:26] <shelldude> YARR!!!11
[11:27] <aprilhare> question: how do i auto mount my removable harddisk on detection rather than having to hand mount it each time?
[11:28] <xarvh> aprilhare: use ivman and fstab
[11:33] <peachy> this is .. frustrating, why couldn't .deb contain a cpio or tar.bz2 directly, wtf is with this "ar" format :-/
[11:33] <peachy> and pos to install
[11:34] <bullgard4> How can I get rid of printer support in Samba?
[11:34] <szal> peachy: ar is about the oldest compressed archive format
[11:35] <peachy> great, where does it live? googling for unar on 8kb/sec mobile inet sucks big time
[11:36] <maxb> peachy: the program is just called "ar"
[11:36] <ortsvorsteher> !language | peachy
[11:37] <peachy> language?
[11:37] <aprilhare> ortsvorsteher: what language
[11:37] <KoolD> is there a way to reduce battery consumption(except dimming the screen light)...i'm getting about half of what i used to get in windows (discharging time used to be 3:40-4:00 in xp and its around 2:30 in ubuntu)..
[11:37] <maxb> peachy: Why are you trying to manually extract a .deb?
[11:37] <szal> ortsvorsteher = Blockwart? :o
[11:37] <maxb> peachy: dpkg-deb -x foo.deb destinationdir
[11:37] <ortsvorsteher> szal: really i am not ;)
[11:37] <szal> :D
[11:37] <mrwes> I have a simple ubuntu file server that shares files with Windows machines, I'm going to install ClamAV, should I just schedule a cron to scan the samba shares or run Clam-daemon?
[11:38] <ortsvorsteher> aprilhare: read what ubottu said ;)
[11:38] <peachy> maxb: need the swiss wordlist from the intrepid repo, not on ubuntu right now, limited inet connectivity & doing an audit
[11:38] <peachy> ortsvorsteher:: clarify
[11:38] <aprilhare> ortsvorsteher: there is a question of relevance unanswered
[11:38] <maxb> peachy: ok, dpkg-deb -x is what you want to use to just extract a .deb to peek inside its files
[11:39] <LMJ> hi
[11:39] <maxb> peachy: oh.... or does "not on ubuntu" mean "not on any dpkg-based distro at all" ?
[11:39] <LMJ> I need to read Real crap video files with mplayer but mplayer missing some libs such as "drv4.so.6.0" and so on, where I could get them ?
[11:39] <peachy> maxb:: yup, sadly, seeing if I can install dpkg easier than finding "ar" atm
[11:40] <KalEl> is 9.5gb partition enough for storing my ubuntu?
[11:40] <alessandro_> salve a tutti
[11:40] <jrib> LMJ: do you have w32codecsc?
[11:40] <jrib> LMJ: do you have w32codecs?
[11:40] <ortsvorsteher> !it | alessandro_
[11:40] <maxb> peachy: any linux system should include ar. It's a fairly ancient part of the unix tradition :-)
[11:40] <LMJ> no jrib  : but aptitude search can't find them, w32codecs is the package name for sure ?
[11:40] <jrib> !w32codecs | LMJ
[11:41] <peachy> maxb: haha, tell that to Sun :)
[11:41] <Garfeild> hi all
[11:41] <JessicaParker> hi network install i have "please enter a hostname of the mirror from which ubuntu will be downloaded" anyone any ideas ?
[11:41] <LMJ> sound good jrib :  thanks
[11:41] <JessicaParker> i can access the interent
[11:41] <JessicaParker> but cant find a mirror address
[11:41] <Seveas> JessicaParker, http://archive.ubuntu.com
[11:42] <maxb> peachy: Oh. Sun? You're on Solaris?
[11:42] <jrib> !mirrors | JessicaParker
[11:42] <maxb> peachy: ar is part of binutils on Linux, if that helps you find it
[11:42] <peachy> nah sun linux 5.0.3
[11:42] <peachy> maxb: thanks
[11:45] <peachy> hahah, sun arent as stupid as I am, 'which ar' -> /usr/bin/ar
[11:45] <FallenLoki> guten morgen zusammen
[11:45] <peachy> I was looking for unar
[11:45] <FallenLoki> is there a german channel too ?
[11:46] <bazhang> !de
[11:46] <peachy> thnx all & I'll st*u (censored for ortsvorsteher's innocent ears) about sun & non ubuntu thinks
[11:46] <tijucas> hi...
[11:46] <tijucas> what is locked updates??
[11:47] <maxb> tijucas: That terminology is not familiar to me, in which program do you see it?
[11:47] <Ademan> can anyone tell me the significance of belocs-locales-bin ?  It apparently conflicts with base-config, which I don't see anywhere, and everything seems to want to remove it.  Is it safe to remove?
[11:47] <tijucas> i'm trying to update system and there are some locked updates
[11:47] <fosco_> tijucas: packages that will not be updated in a "dist-upgrade"
[11:47] <tijucas> hum..
[11:47] <maxb> Ademan: Which version of Ubuntu are you using?
[11:47] <tijucas> i'm using jaunty..
[11:48] <tijucas> testing it..
[11:48] <Ademan> maxb: i'm on intrepid
[11:48] <fosco_> tijucas: try #ubuntu+1
[11:48] <maxb> Huh, I thought the belocs-locales-bin migration was in Jaunty, guess I was mistaken
[11:48] <JessicaParker> jrib: what is the full path for the install ?  is it http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/ or do i need to go further ?
[11:49] <tijucas> fosco_: i just wanna know what is it. the system is ok :)
[11:49] <JessicaParker> im a bit confused as i had the items on my dhcp server but it has not picked them up for whatever reason and now wants to go to the internet
[11:49] <fosco_> tijucas: sometimes a package is "hold" for various reasons, security, estability, user demand...
[11:49] <Ademan> maxb: ah, hehe, I did something horribly evil and enabled jaunty for a second to get python 2.6.  it sounds like that's coming back to haunt me huh?
[11:50] <jrib> JessicaParker: I don't know.  I'd start with just http://archive.ubuntu.com first and work up
[11:50] <JessicaParker> jrib: a lot of paths - does anyone else have any ideas ?
[11:50] <Ademan> maxb: so in jaunty belocs-locales-bin is being phased in?  I guess I could try just letting it die for the moment, and see what happens... haha
[11:51] <maxb> Ademan: phased *out*
[11:51] <jrib> JessicaParker: 4 is a lot? :o
[11:51] <jrib> JessicaParker: anyway it's most likely archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu, but like I said there aren't many to try...
[11:51] <maxb> JessicaParker: Are you asking what URL should appear in your apt sources.list?
[11:51] <JessicaParker> i suppose i dont understand what type of target file it needs ? there is more than 4 as you keep drilling http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/installer-i386/20070308ubuntu40/images/
[11:51] <Ademan> maxb: ah, what's replacing it? base-config? or nothing at all?
[11:51] <tarfart> what do i have to type to get gtk 2.0 ?
[11:51] <tarfart> apt-get install libglib2.0-dev libglib2.0-data  libglib2.0-0
[11:52] <JessicaParker> network install im doing
[11:52] <jrib> tarfart: you already have gtk2 by default
[11:52] <maxb> Ademan: uhm. 'locales'? maybe?
[11:52] <tarfart> sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev libglib2.0-data  libglib2.0-0  # is not enuff
[11:52] <TuxOtaku> anyone here having problems with VLC segfaulting on startup?
[11:52] <jrib> tarfart: not enough for what?
[11:52] <tarfart> hydra
[11:52] <Ademan> tarfart: that's a horrible, horrible name lol... but what are you trying to do? you should have gtk+ by default unless you're using a server install
[11:52] <tarfart> make says i dont have gtk2.0
[11:52] <maxb> JessicaParker: Everything up to, but *not* including /dists/
[11:52] <jrib> tarfart: you are compiling something?
[11:52] <Ademan> tarfart: are you trying to compile something from source?
[11:52] <tarfart> yes
[11:53] <tarfart> yes
[11:53] <Ademan> you'll need the -dev versions
[11:53] <jrib> tarfart: apt-cache search -n lib gtk dev
[11:53] <Ademan> libgtk2.0-dev
[11:53] <tarfart> libglib2.0-dev
[11:53] <tarfart> got that
[11:53] <tarfart> why is it failing
[11:53] <jrib> tarfart: look closer...
[11:53] <Ademan> do you have libgtk2.0-dev? that's quite different from libglib2.0-dev
[11:53] <crdlb> tarfart: libglib is not libgtk
[11:53] <PerryArmstrong> hey i am installing ubuntu over32 GB along with vista  so can anyone tell me how to allocate the whole 32 Gb automatically.. i am not getting that option
[11:54] <tarfart> so what do i have to type to make it work
[11:54] <JessicaParker> maxb: ok now its asking for main directory ?
[11:54] <jrib> tarfart: install the package Ademan told you to...
[11:54] <maxb> JessicaParker: hmm.. show the exact error message?
[11:54] <jrib> !compile > tarfart
[11:54] <tarfart> jrib: i have that sheesh
[11:54] <Ademan> maxb: sorry to keep bothering you with this crap, but what's the worse thing that could happen if my locale system craps out?  I'm dropped back to the C locale?
[11:54] <jrib> tarfart: pastebin: apt-cache policy libgtk2.0-dev
[11:54] <tarfart> yea hydra is not in the repos
[11:54] <Jabka> How can i test if a package is installed in the 8.10 live cd (ntfs-3g) ?
[11:55] <Jabka> i can't download the cd (two low bandwitch)
[11:55] <Jabka> *too
[11:55] <tarfart> http://rafb.net/p/L4GdwB20.html
[11:55] <Ademan> Jabka: oh...
[11:55] <Ademan> i was about to say just crack open synaptic lol
[11:55] <jrib> tarfart: go back and read the last 20 lines said to you...
[11:55] <Ademan> there's gotta be a list somewhere...
[11:55] <maxb> Ademan: probably.... anyway are you back to pure intrepid sources in sources.list now? Then use apt-show-versions to identify whether which of the packages you've got installed are not intrepid ones
[11:55] <Jabka> Ademan ,actuallty i  prefer apt
[11:56] <tarfart> jrib: yea i pastbined that
[11:56] <jrib> tarfart: yes, now go back and read the last 20 lines said to you.  You don't have libgtk2.0-dev.
[11:56] <LMJ> jrib w32codecs pacakges from medibuntu has been done for i386, will it works with my 64bits system ?
[11:56] <tarfart> ugh linux shigt
[11:56] <JessicaParker> 1) choose a mirror (im right at the start of the install) network connected - then it asks please enter the host name of the mirror from which ubuntu will be downloaded.i entered archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu then it asks 'please enter the directory in which the mirror of ubuntu archive is located so i enter nothing  error is the specified ubuntu archive mirror is either not available or deos not have a vlaid release file o
[11:56] <bazhang> tarfart, watch the language
[11:56] <jrib> LMJ: there's w64codecs, but it doesn't include all of the same codecs
[11:56] <BT> ´ó¼ÒºÃ£¡
[11:57] <jrib> JessicaParker: hostname means archive.ubuntu.com ...
[11:57] <LMJ> ok
[11:57] <maxb> JessicaParker: Oh. I guess it wants "archive.ubuntu.com", and "/ubuntu". I've never used that installer
[11:57] <tarfart> so how do i install it ?
[11:57] <JessicaParker> same error
[11:57] <jrib> tarfart: how did you install the other packages?
[11:58] <JessicaParker> its a network insgtall
[11:58] <Ademan> Jabka: well, dpkg-query -s ntfs-3g would work, but you don't have the livecd anyways so that's useless lol
[11:58] <JessicaParker> i suppose if i could understand the target file it was trying to get then i can make sure the path location is ok
[11:58] <mrwes> does ClamAV do smart scans, that is only scan the files that have changed since the last scan?
[11:58] <Ademan> maxb: thanks i'll take a crack at that
[11:59] <jrib> JessicaParker: are you sure it is resolving archive.ubuntu.com correctly? how?
[11:59] <PerryArmstrong> hey i have started the ubuntu installation...can anyone tell me how to save the resizing of partition so that i can exit and save later on
[12:00] <maxb> JessicaParker: also you might want to consider using <your country code>.archive.ubuntu.com
[12:00] <Jabka> Ademan , well there are many options when you have the actual media but im googleing for the last 30 min and can't find the list ;-(
[12:00] <tarfart> http://rafb.net/p/zqBY3W27.html  it's still not working
[12:00] <tarfart> i got it from http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/libgtk2.0-0/download
[12:00] <jrib> tarfart: why are you using dpkg to install debs?  Do you know about apt?
[12:01] <Ademan> Jabka: hrm, you'd think there'd be a list somewhere, but I'm not seeing one either...
[12:01] <JessicaParker> it returns an error with the country code as well
[12:01] <tarfart> jrib: it's not in apt
[12:01] <crdlb> O_o
[12:01] <JessicaParker> im not sure even if it can access the internet
[12:01] <JessicaParker> as i just managed to do the initial install over the server
[12:01] <Jabka> Ademan , i guess in the end ill find the SVN that hold the cd creator
[12:01] <jrib> tarfart: it is in apt... apt just installs debs from the same place you got that one.  What ubuntu version are you using?
[12:01] <JessicaParker> i will surf some more and see if i can find something
[12:01] <JessicaParker> thanks
[12:02] <Ademan> jrib: why do you need to know this anyways?  you can always install packages from the livecd if it's not there.  (but i'm pretty sure recent versions of ubuntu's livecd have ntfs-3g support)
[12:02] <tarfart> the latest
[12:02] <jrib> !version | tarfart
[12:02] <Ademan> ah sorry jrib, i meant Jabka
[12:03] <Ademan> see above Jabka, I'm pretty sure recent livecds have ntfs-3g and if they don't you can actually install packages in livecds (obviously it's not permanent though)
[12:04] <jrib> tarfart: you are breaking your install if you are installing hardy packages on a machine that's not hardy.  Please read the link from ubottu on properly installing software
[12:04] <jrib> !software > tarfart
[12:04] <Jabka> Ademan , well the problem is that there is  a software raid (don't have a clue what it mean)  and to even accses the drive you have to clean the NTFS drive (using ntfs-3g)
[12:04] <Math1s> hello
[12:04] <dbu> hi, is there any way to pipe the stdout of a terminal program over the net to a listening server type device?
[12:05] <maxb> You could always look at http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/livefs-build-logs/
[12:05] <Ademan> Jabka: access which drive?
[12:05] <jrib> dbu: netcat I guess
[12:05] <PerryArmstrong> he can anyone tell me the commands used to clean disk errors
[12:05] <PerryArmstrong> hey can anyone tell me the commands used to clean disk errors
[12:05] <fosco_> PerryArmstrong: fsck
[12:05] <Jabka> Adema , the HDD
[12:06] <Vladimir> how I can see HDD status?
[12:06] <ortsvorsteher> !fsck | PerryArmstrong
[12:06] <Jabka> Ademan , the HDD i wish to repar (had ubuntu installed)
[12:06] <Jabka> PerryArmstrong , what FS ?
[12:06] <ortsvorsteher> PerryArmstrong: did you mean fsck?
[12:06] <Besogon> Vladimir, USE "DF" command
[12:07] <Jabka> Vladimir , for hardware related use hdparm
[12:07] <PerryArmstrong> i am trying to install ubuntu and i am not able to allocate the size saying that the space is unallocatable
[12:07] <Talker> hello folks
[12:07] <Vladimir> Thanks.
[12:08] <Jabka> PerryArmstong , perheps wrong parrioning ? using more then 4 primary parttions ?
[12:08] <Jabka> * without extened
[12:08] <Guest95427> is there anyone that can help me on my scrren issue?
[12:08] <ortsvorsteher> !details | Guest95427
[12:09] <Jabka> maxb , thank you now i see that ubuntu 8.10 actually has ntfs-3g (hope it could clean NTFS 3.1 )
[12:10] <PerryArmstrong> Jabka; i am not able to install ubuntu due to disk errors
[12:10] <Guest95427> ok. Running Ubuntu 8.10. And a Geforce 7800gs. How do i enable dual screen support?
[12:11] <Ademan> screw it, i'm upgrading to jaunty at some point anyways, might as well go now, and if I run into any issues at least I can provide some bug reports... wish me luck guys
[12:11] <elvisfuentes> hi guys
[12:11] <dr_willis> Guest95427:  install teh proper nvidia drivers and run the nvidia-settings tool and  configure the monitors.
[12:12] <maxb> Jabka: I'm not sure ntfs-3g can do any fixing/checking - I think it just tells you to check the drive in Windows if it's marked dirty
[12:12] <elvisfuentes> I've been having many problems with the ubuntu's boot
[12:12] <Guest95427> i think i have installed the right drivers........
[12:12] <Guest95427> where do i find the tool?
[12:12] <tarfart> NOW whats wrong with apt http://rafb.net/p/jqtkiW90.html
[12:12] <dr_willis> Guest95427: run it from the command line. is one way to launch it.
[12:12] <Math1s> anyone knows a good source package for downloading Anjuta 2.26 ?
[12:12] <jyroco> hi
[12:13] <Jabka> maxb , accourding to the source it can clean it (-olocale=en_US.UTF-8,force,auto_xattr,defer_auth,defer_permissions,volname="NTFS" )
[12:13] <Ademan> Math1s: vim-common should set you up fine :-p
[12:13] <tarfart> how is libssh-dev
[12:13] <tarfart> how is libssh-dev already the newest version installed AND not installed
[12:13] <Ademan> Math1s: btw that was a joke, but I've gotta go
[12:13] <tarfart> NOW whats wrong with apt http://rafb.net/p/jqtkiW90.html
[12:13] <jrib> tarfart: there is no such pyackage
[12:13] <Ademan> destiny awaits
[12:14] <dr_willis> !nvidia | Guest95427
[12:14] <jrib> tarfart: read the output apt gave you more closely
[12:14] <Jabka> maxb , it can also kill the parttion
[12:15] <Jabka> PerryArmstrong , what type of disk erros ?
[12:15] <jyroco> for use ubuntu live in a usb flash?
[12:15] <jyroco> what fomat have I use?
[12:15] <PerryArmstrong> Jabka; not able to allocate the partitions
[12:16] <jyroco> ISO or TAR?
[12:16] <Guest95427> dr_willis: i use NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver 177 [recommended]
[12:16] <quibbler> Math1s: google  Anjuta 2.26
[12:16] <Jabka> PerryArmstrong , how many primary and how many extended ? type ?
[12:17] <dr_willis> Guest95427:   if the driver works then you are 1/2 way there..  I would suggest backing  Up your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and trying that nvidia-settings tool
[12:17] <suvi> Hello
[12:17] <suvi> any1 know how i can get this notebook remix work? :P
[12:17] <suvi> on 8.10
[12:17] <suvi> it have that center desktop thing working, but bottom and top bars randmoly disappears
[12:18] <PerryArmstrong> Jabka; not yet installed..already ubuntu was installed but now i swiped about partitions and i am installing anew
[12:19] <Guest95427> dr_willis: backup done! still dont know how to run that tool
[12:20] <dr_willis> Guest95427:  type its name in a terminal
[12:20] <dr_willis> Guest95427:  if its installed..
[12:20] <Jabka> PerryArmstrong , try the next  , write down the sizes start and end of all parttions remove some (to make a large continus block) create one extended now use the old values and crete the parttions that wore before (start sector end sector etc .. )  then create the new extra parttions
[12:21] <dr_willis> Guest95427:  or it may have a menu item somewhere.. if its installed
[12:21] <dbu> jrib: do you have any examples of netcat in use, + do you have any experience of piping tcpdump over it?
[12:21] <Pupuser402-1> someone really needs to note it somewhere that if you change your password while using encrypted home, the key doesn't sync with the password and you can't login
[12:21] <Guest95427> dr_willis: if that is not automatically installed with the driver, then its not...
[12:21] <Jabka> PerryArmstrong , how many parttions do you have now ? (size and type)
[12:21] <dr_willis> Guest95427:  no idea.. check and see.. if its not installed then install it.
[12:22] <jrib> dbu: cat file | nc hostname port
[12:22] <PerryArmstrong> Jabka; actually i wanted to put up allocate free spacebut i am not getting that option
[12:22] <Time`s_Witness> hey. what are nls and umask in "mount -o" options? i googled to know how to mount windows partitions in ubuntu and found that, can i just follow it or it would be smart to determine those parameters depending on something from my HDD ? command is, according to guide, and after creating /media/c  "sudo mount -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222 /dev/hdb1 /media/c"
[12:22] <B> Bonjour tout le monde ?
[12:22] <B> !
[12:22] <B> :$ :)
[12:22] <B> y'a t'il quelqu'un qui puisse m'aidé ?
[12:23] <jrib> dbu: I guess you are doing something like this? http://oreilly.com/pub/h/1058
[12:23] <Math1s> B: blablabla?
[12:23] <bazhang> b /join #ubuntu-fr
[12:23] <jrib> !fr | B
[12:23] <bazhang> Math1s, that is not necessary
[12:23] <mrwes> does ClamAV do smart scans, that is only scan the files that have changed since the last scan?
[12:23] <Jabka> PerryArmstrong , im pretty sure that this is issue of DOS type parttion table (please post some data about your parrtion table )
[12:23] <Guest95427> dr_willis: NVIDIA X Server Settings?
[12:23] <dr_willis> Guest95427:  no idea.. TRY IT and see.
[12:24] <dr_willis> Guest95427:  im not in ubuntu so i cant hold your hand.. try the stuff.. you backed up the xorg.conf so you can easially undo anything that changes it.
[12:25] <mrwes> Doc: since when have you ever held anyone's hand? :)
[12:25] <dr_willis> Guest95427:  with the nvidia-settings tool You can easially enable the other monitors and twinview and confiogure/tweak things.. HOWEVER you may need to restart the X server. for all the changes to work properly with all programs.
[12:25] <Math1s> so anyone knows a good source package for downloading Anjuta 2.26 ?
[12:25] <dr_willis> mrwes:  when the wife let me.. :P
[12:25] <mrwes> hah
[12:25] <dr_willis> mrwes:  but now she just tells me to... Oh wait this is a faimly channel.
[12:25] <Pirate_Hunter> hi I have a 510 v6 router which the root account is locked, I want to create a remote login session into the router but need a dialup connection is there a way to do so?
[12:25] <mrwes> Doc: I know , I know....
[12:26] <frikkie> Hi there. I need to configure a XDMCP (VNC) server. I tried to install the packages, but still battle. I need some direction please.
[12:27] <dbu> jrib: yes, in a way- I have a device with limited disk-space, and I want to run tcpdump on it, but pcap files can become quite large, so I want to pipe the pcap output over the net to another pc, any ideas on how to do that?
[12:27] <Sinapse> is thar a good IRC noobi site or chanial?
[12:27] <jrib> dbu: didn't that link I gave you do exactly that?
[12:28] <dbu> jrib: no, because I can not store the file on the device first...
[12:28] <dbu> as it will use up all available diskspace---
[12:28] <jrib> dbu: the file is being fed as stdin, so feed the output of your command instead...
[12:28] <rio> where does ubuntu store samba shares created with nautilus?
[12:28] <Kimi_will_the_ra> Hi
[12:29] <jrib> dbu: ie like the example I gave you when you first asked
[12:29] <Kimi> Hi
[12:29] <ath0> krakow.irc.pl
[12:29] <dr_willis> rio:  it 'browses' them - it does not mount them any place that ive noticed.. Unless they have  them mounted in the .gvfs stuff somewhere.
[12:29] <jrib> rio: you should be able to access them in ~/.gvfs/
[12:29] <dbu> jrib: ok, let me rephrase: how do I pipe the "file ouput" of tcpdump to stdout?
[12:29] <rio> dr_willis: i mean things that i share
[12:29] <jrib> dbu: COMMAND | nc hostname port
[12:29] <bromic94> hey all the ubuntu 8.10 bug

[12:32] <bruce89> jrib: well, that's a case when you would use .gvfs/
[12:32] <jrib> bruce89: k, just checking if there was another way
[12:32] <jac0b> has anyone else lost the new uspalsh for jaunty?
[12:32] <dr_willis> jrib:  if its  'mountd' then  you just 'cd' to it as you would any otehr directory

[12:36] <iMatter> Kimi, download a Gparted Live CD, boot from that make an ext3 partition with the free space
[12:37] <iMatter> Kimi, then boot into the ubuntu live cd and look for that partition, name it in Gparted if you wish
[12:37] <iMatter> to make it easier to spot
[12:37] <iMatter> @google search gparted live cd
[12:37] <iMatter> >.>
[12:37] <thewrath> gparted is easy to deal with
[12:38] <iMatter> Kimi, or, boot into the ubuntu install disk, go to System -> Administrator Partition Editor
[12:38] <mik__> hi
[12:38] <iMatter> Kimi, then make the partition there remember the size OR name it make it an ext3 partition made from the freespace
[12:41] <Sinapse> how do you dispay all user accounts on a system in console? i tried "users" but it only displayd users loged in.
[12:41] <Kimi> iMatter I got the help from forums on this... they asked me to try Gparted in live cd....... but that gparted showed my DRIVE E (20 gb)as empty but it has 18 gb of content
[12:42] <iMatter> Kimi, hmm, Gparted standalone or in ubuntu
[12:42] <dr_willis> Sinapse:  you could look in the /home/ directory

[12:46] <Sinapse> kool
[12:46] <frikkie> Hi, How do I remote desktop to an ubuntu box?;-)
[12:47] <dr_willis> frikkie:  enable the remote desktop feature in gnome is one way. then use  a vnc client to connect.
[12:48] <bruce89> Sinapse: or indeed less /etc/passwd
[12:48] <dr_willis> frikkie:  is this over a local LAN or the wild and nasty internet?
[12:48] <oskar-> hi, does someone know how to restart nm-applet and network-manager in a proper way, so that it works?
[12:48] <frikkie> Local
[12:48] <bruce89> frikkie: graphical or CLI?
[12:48] <frikkie> GUI
[12:48] <dr_willis> frikkie:  then that should work  to get you to the currently seen desktop. thers dozens of 'other' ways to get to a machine remotely. depending on what you are wanting to do.
[12:48] <frikkie> I do ssh foe CLI
[12:48] <bruce89> ah
[12:49] <dr_willis> frikkie:  whats the OS of the other machine doing the connecting?
[12:49] <kvWilsonMD> hello
[12:49] <frikkie> Ubuntu <------> Ubuntu
[12:49] <bruce89> frikkie: see System>Admin.(or preferences)>Remote desktop
[12:49] <kvWilsonMD> i got problem with libexpat.so.0
[12:49] <dr_willis> frikkie:   you can just 'ssh -X remotebox' and run apps if you just want to see a single app on the local machine also.
[12:49] <kvWilsonMD> how can i install this lib?
[12:50] <dr_willis> !find libexpat
[12:50] <frikkie> thanks, Let me try.
[12:50] <dr_willis> kvWilsonMD:  in stall the packages listed above   dependign on yoru needs.
[12:50] <kvWilsonMD> ok
[12:51] <bruce89> frikkie: I add compression too, thanks to it being over a wireless connection -CX
[12:52] <frikkie> that's upeercase -CX
[12:52] <bruce89> yes
[12:52] <AgainstTheFlow> Hey everyone. I have a question about ubuntu
[12:52] <bruce89> !ask
[12:53] <AgainstTheFlow> I want to get rid of my windows partition and make the drive all linux. How do I do that?
[12:54] <bazhang> AgainstTheFlow, choose use the entire disk in the installer
[12:54] <bruce89> AgainstTheFlow: gparted CD
[12:54] <bruce89> http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[12:54] <AgainstTheFlow> Do I have to reinstall the linux part to do this?
[12:54] <mattgyver83-m> use gparted, format your windows disk and then resize the linux part
[12:54] <bruce89> AgainstTheFlow: no
[12:54] <willytell_> AgainstTheFlow, are you in process to install ubuntu or it is already installed?
[12:55] <bruce89> remove the Windows partition, then just resize the Ubuntu one(s) to the left
[12:55] <AgainstTheFlow> I have it installed and have several updates and programs I like.
[12:55] <bruce89> don't interrupt gparted once it's started
[12:56] <AgainstTheFlow> Ok Bruce I am looking at the web site for gparted now
[12:56] <mattgyver83-m> you might want to backup anything important first just in case something happens
[12:56] <willytell_> AgainstTheFlow, gparted is available from Ubuntu's repositories
[12:57] <mattgyver83-m> its in the system menu
[12:57] <mattgyver83-m> i think they call it partition m,anager or something to that effect
[12:58] <mattgyver83-m> the best thing to do though imo is create a gparted live cd
[12:58] <Kimi> !chat | kimi
[12:58] <bruce89> mattgyver83-m: you can't resize a mounted partition
[12:58] <perlmonkey> got no sound, was working yesterday, today its not. Running 8.04. any ideas?
[12:59] <Kimi> !orkut | iMatter
[12:59] <Kimi> @ ubottu thanks

[13:30] <bakarat> for some reason it's not giving me old emails as a result
[13:30] <Slart> !info webstrict
[13:30] <Hasanibrahim> dpkg - warning: while removing webstrict, directory `/usr/share/webstrict' not empty so not removed.
[13:30] <Slart> Hasanibrahim: it's not in the official repos so it's something you've installed yourself.. do you know what it is?
[13:30] <Hasanibrahim> when i look /usr/share/webstrict inside, there is a dansguardian.pl
[13:31] <Hasanibrahim> and i will delete, buıt i am afraid, if i delete it, can it be a problem
[13:31] <Slart> Hasanibrahim: it probably create a file in that folder.. and it doesn't want to remove that file in case you still want it
[13:31] <Hasanibrahim> Slart: so i am deleting file :)
[13:31] <Slart> Hasanibrahim: if you feel unsure you can just rename the folder first.. and see if something breaks
[13:32] <Hasanibrahim> ok thanks

[13:53] <rk_> is it possible to make a usb bootable from a .iso in ubuntu?
[13:53] <bromic94> was wondering how you remove the splash screen when u boot up and shutdown ubuntu?
[13:53] <quibbler> flyingfree: i would imagine so
[13:53] <GunbladeIV> rk_: i think it depends on your bios, does your bios allow to boot from usb?
[13:54] <flyingfree> mORRre and Quibbler: ralinks driver is dated in 2009.  so how do i compile it and install it?
[13:54] <scompt> any ideas why firefox starts with a blank screen for me now (no menus, toolbars, place to click)?
[13:54] <josh_> hi i need some help installing avast. when i click setup it says an error occurred while loading archive
[13:54] <josh_> im pretty new to this
[13:55] <rk_> GunbladeIV, yeah
[13:55] <bazhang> josh_, why do you need an antivirus
[13:55] <gusfm> josh_: you probably dont need an antivirus
[13:55] <josh_> its just good to have
[13:56] <bazhang> josh_, completely unnecessary unless you are routing mail to windows boxes or the like
[13:56] <josh_> well i dont know how to install anything on here
[13:56] <quibbler> flyingfree: read that forum thread ...i believe they explain it there
[13:56] <bazhang> josh_, that is from a 3rd party site?
[13:56] <josh_> im getting limewire next and i know its loaded with viruses
[13:56] <GunbladeIV> rk_: then the answer is possible
[13:57] <josh_> but mostly viruses for windows
[13:57] <bazhang> josh_, the repos are where you install things from
[13:57] <GunbladeIV> rk_: you can boot your iso through usb - but first your need to extract all the image file into the usb drive..
[13:57] <quibbler> flyingfree: maybe this can also help: http://www.mikegerwitz.com/2008/08/30/rt61-rt2x00-ralink-linux-driver-installation/
[13:57] <GunbladeIV> rk_: if you put raw .iso file it wont boot
[13:58] <bromic94> how can i remove the splash screen or the quiet boot in ubuntu
[13:58] <gusfm> josh_: install ubuntu apps with synaptic - system > Administration > synaptic package mannager
[13:58] <josh_> yeah im in my synaptic manager
[13:58] <quibbler> flyingfree: i do not have wifi so i can help with the configuration ..but there are many people here who can
[13:58] <flyingfree> Quibbler,that's 34 page of posts
[13:59] <cristi_> !beryl > cristi_
[13:59] <rk_> GunbladeIV, just extracting the .iso in the usb and it will be able to boot from it?
[13:59] <GunbladeIV> rk_: i think so
[13:59] <RiotingPacifist2> i took an lvm snapshot of a partition how do i restore it to the snapshot state?
[14:00] <bazhang> !usb | rk_
[14:00] <GunbladeIV> rk_: have you try it before?
[14:00] <GunbladeIV> bazhang: thanks for the info. that would be much easier
[14:00] <gusfm> bromic94: you have to edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst to do that.
[14:00] <rk_> bazhang, i do not intend to boot ubuntu from a usb, but a regular .iso (hirens boot cd for more details)
[14:01] <bazhang> rk_, what version of ubuntu
[14:01] <rk_> 8.10
[14:01] <cristi_> anybody knows how to make a voice call in ubuntu to a yahoo account?
[14:01] <quibbler> flyingfree: the first gets you started and suggest now you install and configure ..if it's not working ask here for more advise
[14:01] <bazhang> rk_, you wish to create a bootable usb stick of ubuntu?
[14:01] <rk_> bazhang,   i saw unetbootin is un jaunty
[14:01] <cristi_> anybody knows how to make a voice call in ubuntu to a yahoo account?
[14:01] <bazhang> rk_, you currently have ubuntu 8.10 installed?
[14:02] <rk_> not really, just to make a bootable usb from .iso
[14:02] <rk_> yeah
[14:02] <scompt> any ideas why firefox starts with a blank screen for me now (no menus, toolbars, place to click)?
[14:02] <bazhang> rk_, then use usb-creator in intrepid to do so
[14:02] <GunbladeIV> scompt: try running the firefox from terminal to see what error it produce
[14:02] <scompt> GunbladeIV, no errors
[14:03] <cristi_> anybody knows how to make a voice call in ubuntu to a yahoo account?
[14:03] <bazhang> cristi_, please dont repeat so often
[14:03] <GunbladeIV> scompt: have you try to reconfigure your firefox profile?
[14:03] <bazhang> cristi_, if someone knows they will respond
[14:03] <cristi_> i repeat becouse i get no answer
[14:03] <rk_> bazhang, :o it seems to be what im looking for, i thought that option would work only to create a ubuntu usb
[14:04] <bazhang> rk_, ah, you wish to create some other iso?
[14:04] <scompt> GunbladeIV, yes, I've deleted it, to no avail
[14:04] <scompt> firefox works for my guest account, but my main account
[14:04] <Guest2508> cristy_ not yet is it possible to make voice calls tomsn ???
[14:04] <GunbladeIV> scompt: and it doesnt fix the problem?
[14:04] <scompt> GunbladeIV, nope
[14:05] <quibbler> flyingfree: here is something else to read: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/RalinkRT61
[14:05] <GunbladeIV> i see.. if your main account is the problem, then most probably it should be the config in your ~/home folder setting for mozilla
[14:05] <rk_> bazhang, yeah i want to create a usb bootable of hirens boot cd (but that make usb from 8.10 allows me to select a .iso to create the usb)
[14:05] <rk_> bazhang, it may work
[14:06] <flyingfree> wow this is really complicate  reading most of it over my head
[14:06] <scompt> GunbladeIV, I don't understand what you mean
[14:06] <GunbladeIV> scompt: give me 5 minutes to help you out
[14:07] <josh_> i still cant find where to install avast
[14:07] <scompt> GunbladeIV, alright
[14:08] <GunbladeIV> scompt: try to delete profiles.ini in ~/.mozilla/firefox
[14:08] <gusfm> josh_: don't worry with viruses in linux
[14:08] <rk_> bazhang, ok, it didnt work ^^ its only to make ubuntu boot usb
[14:08] <GunbladeIV> scompt: then try restart your ff
[14:09] <josh_> yeah thats what they say...but they also say there are over 200 now

[14:15] <Flare-laptop> !compiz | bromic94
[14:16] <LjL> quizme: probably syslog
[14:16] <space_cadet> the problem is, If i leave my PC off for an extended length of time (say, 4+ hours) it doesn't startup properly
[14:16] <LjL> quizme: try "greo CRON /var/log/syslog", i'm going by memory though
[14:16] <Flare-laptop> grep*
[14:16] <bromic94> Flare-laptop: thank you

[14:17] <blkdg> hi, is anyone using an intel 4500M card? what are your thoughts on using it with compiz?
[14:17] <bromic94> space_cadet: do you have wpa2 enterprise?

[14:18] <aspoor> I always tell everyone when working with ubuntu and wifi, just download "compat" run make uninstall, make, make install an you are all set
[14:18] <gusfm> perlsyntax: what do you mean with no color icons?
[14:18] <scunizi> space_cadet:  can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?

[14:19] <scunizi> hjbolide: what'd you just do ..change nicks?
[14:19] <kim_bruning> I have trouble with firefox+ipv6 on my ubuntu system. I can access [::1] just fine, but when I try to use anything other than localhost (such as stuff like [ fe80::212:f0ff:fe32:8bea] , firefox just doesn't do anything, no error on error console, nothing to terminal, so I have no clue what's going on. Googling only finds how to disable ipv6. I obviously want to USE it ;-)
[14:19] <hjbolide> scunizi: excuse me?
[14:20] <LjL> aspoor: i always tell when in this channel, don't give silly random advice.
[14:20] <perlsyntax> ?
[14:20] <godmok> hi, yesterday i installed ubuntu, and mounted the home partition as always, and since then my user is reseted to default (all data nowhere to found), but gparted and nautilus shows, that there are 60gb used. any suggestion?
[14:20] <eax> How do I zip af file using commandline?
[14:20] <perlsyntax> i  mean all i see is black icon on the emacs
[14:20] <Flare-laptop> eax: man zip
[14:20] <LjL> eax: install "zip" first, then "man zip"
[14:20] <scunizi> hjbolide: you just said "ok, 1 min.." but I never said anything to you so I thought you were someone else that had changed their nick
[14:20] <Flare-laptop> eax: That tells you now to use it
[14:20] <josh_> thanks for the help guys
[14:21] <eax> Flare-laptop & LjL: Thanks :)
[14:21] <hjbolide> scunizi: sorry, ~~
[14:21] <kim_bruning> eax, zip myfile.zip  file1 file2 file3 file4 ...
[14:21] <Flare-laptop> eax: No Problem
[14:21] <scunizi> space_cadet: looks normal to me. you might change the nvidia driver reference to nv and see if thing become more normal.. then you can go back to trying to get nvidia's driver working.
[14:21] <shiloh7> man pages rule
[14:21] <blkdg> thanks anyhow
[14:21] <kim_bruning> eax, man man man, man man is your friend, man!
[14:21] <kim_bruning> eax, (yes, man man   is a useful manual ;-) )
[14:22] <RiotingPacifist2> kim_bruning: do you have an ipv6 conenction?
[14:22] <space_cadet> scunizi, thing is, it's only when I leave the laptop off for an extended period of time
[14:22] <sakura> Hello, yesterday night i upgraded to jaunty jackalope and as it said in the upgrade process, now i have problems when starting X. I have an ati x1200 radeon video card, the fglrx module coulnt be compiled by dkms, so i tryed using vesa driver, adding at Devices section the option Driver   "vesa", but seems to not work. When launching X, my machine get freezed, ideas ? :)
[14:22] <shiloh7> man is an unlimited rescource of information
[14:22] <kim_bruning> RiotingPacifist2, insofar as the address is pingable by ping6 , yes
[14:22] <bazhang> sakura #ubuntu+1 for that
[14:22] <space_cadet> scunizi, then it goes to "low graphics mode"   and if i then reboot, it's fine.
[14:22] <scunizi> space_cadet: so after that period of time what do you have to do to restore normallacy?
[14:22] <kim_bruning> insofar as all the way upstream... possibly, but not tested
[14:22] <sakura> sorry and thanks bazhang
[14:22] <space_cadet> scunizi, reboot.
[14:23] <ma1> hi all... i'v landed in major trouble... i deleted a partition and now all the mount points of my swap, / and /home have changed , and when i start i get error 17!!!
[14:23] <scunizi> space_cadet: laptop?
[14:23] <ma1> how do i solve it?
[14:23] <space_cadet> scunizi, asus m70vm-x1
[14:23] <mdinstuhl> huh...that's weird.  i installed the eclipse package THEN installed the mysql clients.  After I installed the mysql clients the Eclipse link got removed from my Applications->Programming menu.
[14:23] <bazhang> ma1 which partition
[14:23] <space_cadet> scunizi, has the Nvidia 9600 GSM
[14:23] <space_cadet> scunizi, yes, it's a laptop. :)
[14:23] <scunizi> space_cadet: unfortunatly I don't have all the model numbers memorized..
[14:24] <scunizi> thanks
[14:24] <ma1> bazhang: it was and additional partition
[14:24] <ma1> an^
[14:24] <scunizi> space_cadet: which restricted driver is currently in use?
[14:24] <space_cadet> 177
[14:24] <eax> I tried using "zip skole.zip Skole" but the zip is empty when I open it :S It only contains the folder "Skole" not the folders in it..
[14:24] <shiloh7> ma1, i had to reformat and start all over with the same issue
[14:24] <kim_bruning> RiotingPacifist2, I'm wondering if there's some problem with firefox rather than with ubuntu. It's just that the literal IPv6 addy in the url gets no activity and no error message from firefox
[14:25] <ma1> shiloh7: no other solution?
[14:25] <kim_bruning> RiotingPacifist2, I do need to use ping6 -I eth0 for the ping command to work... so I have a slight suspicion that something route-y might be amiss
[14:25] <shiloh7> ma1, wait for others to respond please, dont take my advice im learning
[14:26] <ma1> shiloh7: ok...
[14:26] <RiotingPacifist2> kim_bruning: do you have any other browsers to compare against? epiphany, konqueror,?
[14:26] <scunizi> space_cadet: I've seen mixed results with the 177.  I can't use it at all my self on a desktop with onboard nvidia 8200.. If you add the medibuntu repositories you'll have access to the 180.x driver.. you might try that. If that doesn't work then hand installing their latest MIGHT work
[14:26] <space_cadet> scunizi, i posted this bug, but no one has even looked at it yet.  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/342807
[14:26] <shiloh7> RoitingPacifist2, try iceweasle
[14:26] <danopia> in apt, Installed-Size: 15384
[14:26] <jrib> ma1: boot up a live cd and fix your /etc/fstab on the ubuntu partition (ie not the one in the live environment)
[14:26] <cristi_> everyone help hjbolide
[14:26] <danopia> bytes or kb?
[14:26] <Titan8990> shiloh7, iceweasle is just the debian version of firefox
[14:26] <ma1> jrib: i'm now on the live cd
[14:26] <space_cadet> scunizi, will the 180 drivers break my X server?
[14:27] <jrib> ma1: k, then proceed...
[14:27] <ma1> jrib: but how do icheck the uuid's?
[14:27] <jrib> !uuid | ma1
[14:27] <shiloh7> titan, :) thank you, wasnt sure they were the SAME thing. :)
[14:27] <bromic94> i was not paying attention so who said that they had stuff with 8.10 and wpa2 enterprise?
[14:27] <Titan8990> shiloh7, I missed the beginning of the convo but if the concern is the new vulnerability found in firefox, I am guessing that it is also present in iceweasel
[14:27] <bromic94> other than me
[14:27] <aprilhare> is anyone else having an issue with kde packages? i can't upgrade 26 packages, all are related to kde. i'm using intrepid
[14:27] <ma1> what about grub?
[14:27] <shiloh7> Titan8990, you are correct sir
[14:27] <shiloh7> :)
[14:28] <jrib> ma1: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[14:28] <hjbolide> anyone using 9300M gs？
[14:28] <space_cadet> Because I know that when I was back in the dev chain and 9.04 installed automagically, i didn't have nvidia drivers because they conflicted with X...  Has that problem been resolved?
[14:28] <jrib> ma1: on the install of course, not the live cd
[14:28] <scunizi> space_cadet: shouldn't.. when you add the repo then it will show up in the restricted drivers manager like the others.
[14:28] <jrib> !jaunty | space_cadet
[14:29] <space_cadet> askthebot > jrib
[14:29] <scunizi> space_cadet: dev chain? you mean when Intrepid was alpha?
[14:29] <space_cadet> yes
[14:29] <space_cadet> no.
[14:29] <jrib> space_cadet: jaunty help in #ubuntu+1, not here
[14:29] <space_cadet> jrib butt out
[14:29] <scunizi> space_cadet: alpha is alpha.. you can't expect things NOT to break once in a while.
[14:30] <cristi_> somebody needs help?
[14:30] <space_cadet> scunizi I was using intrepid when it was alpha, because it supported my Atheros
[14:30] <ma1> jrib: what about grub? i tried that... previously my / was /sda8 now it is /sda7 , so i changed the menu.lst to hd0,6 from hd0,7 , but i got the grub error 17... so i guess if i change the uuids in the fstab all will be solved?
[14:30]  * jrib sighs.  I give on this channel
[14:30] <RiotingPacifist2> kim_bruning: other than checking other browsers the only way i can think of getting usefull information is to use wireshark and see what firefox is doing?
[14:30] <hjbolide> anyone help me check my xorg.conf?http://paste.ubuntu.com/134861/
[14:30] <scunizi> jrib: he's refering to when intrepid was alpha
[14:30] <space_cadet> scunizi but because i did a sudo update-manager -d
[14:30] <hjbolide> this file make my X down
[14:30] <space_cadet> scunizi, it automagically upgraded me to 9.04
[14:30] <space_cadet> scunizi, I have since reinstalled the release intrepid
[14:31] <shiloh7> can someone tell me what i would gain to upgrade to 9.04 from 6.04?
[14:31] <scunizi> space_cadet: ok.. did you retain your /home this entire time?
[14:31] <space_cadet> no
[14:31] <space_cadet> full format && reinstall

[14:31] <space_cadet> except for the windows on there...
[14:31] <scunizi> space_cadet: then you are on intrepid with a weird video problem.. add the medibuntu repos and try the 180 driver
[14:32] <kvWilsonMD> and the problem is come back
[14:32] <kim_bruning> RiotingPacifist2, that could be a good idea
[14:32] <hjbolide> scunizi: excuse me, could I take you a few minutes?

[14:37] <tq|Memphis> question : i had Debian & XP , then i didnt format my 180 gb harddisk , i just installed Ubuntu to that 180gb space , can it occur any problem?
[14:37] <hjbolide> scunizi: the restricted drivers?
[14:37] <mdinstuhl> nitro_man: is this to connect to your employer's network?
[14:37] <hjbolide> scunizi: both 173 and 177 cannot driver my card
[14:37] <nitro_man> problem: there's no package for l2tp, and my prov requires l2tp to connect
[14:38] <scunizi> hjbolide: no.. you'd disable the restricted drivers and it should automatically put you back at nv.. check though, in xorg.conf to make sure "nvidia" was replaced with "nv".
[14:38] <kim_bruning> Level15, could have gotten lucky
[14:38] <Deevz> is it possible to change the hotkeys to change workspace?
[14:38] <scunizi> hjbolide: you may also have to restart x with ctrl+alt+backspace

[14:39] <tq|Memphis> question : i had Debian & XP , then i didnt format my 180 gb harddisk , i just installed Ubuntu to that 180gb space , can it occur any problem?
[14:40] <theshadow> tq|Memphis: is the whole drive 180GB?
[14:40] <kim_bruning> Riotingpacifist: does wireshark actually handle ipv6 traffic?
[14:40] <tq|Memphis> theshadow: yes its
[14:40] <mdinstuhl> tq|Memphis: did you install it under XP?
[14:40] <scunizi> tq|Memphis: nope.. installing ubuntu there means that ubuntu did the formatting needed.. the only thing in question is if you now have two swap partitions on you system
[14:40] <sei> Hello
[14:40] <theshadow> tq|Memphis: if you installed ubuntu to the entire 180GB hard drive then chances are you don't have XP any more.
[14:40] <tq|Memphis> theshadow: no
[14:40] <dronix> tq|Memphis: did ubuntu format your harddisk?
[14:41] <tq|Memphis> dronix: i want to know that
[14:41] <theshadow> tq|Memphis: are you in ubuntu now?
[14:41] <tq|Memphis> theshadow: yes i'm
[14:41] <mdinstuhl> tq|Memphis: can you reboot into XP?
[14:41] <dronix> tq|Memphis: if you selected the entire guided option, then it formated you disk, no more xp
[14:41] <tq|Memphis> mdinstuhl: i can not
[14:41] <scunizi> then it's formatted if it installed to that partition
[14:41] <Trae> What is a really good way to backup an entire Ubuntu Server machine?  (I didn't install Ubuntu Server, I installed regular)
[14:41] <theshadow> tq|Memphis: well if you open a terminal and type du -h it will tell you the disk usage
[14:42] <sei> that's a secret
[14:42] <tq|Memphis> theshadow: checking
[14:43] <theshadow> tq|Memphis: actually you may want to do an fdisk check... I can't remember the flags to list the partitions
[14:43] <rovelar> Guys, I need help with my screen configuration
[14:43] <scunizi> theshadow: tq|Memphis fdisk -l

[14:47] <rovelar> scunizi: Yes. It's done
[14:47] <scunizi> rovelar: and after you did that did you reboot?
[14:48] <rovelar> scunizi: Yes. I reboot and now I have the Nvidia drivers installed too.
[14:49] <rovelar> scunizi: I can reach 1024x768 as a maximun
[14:49] <scunizi> rovelar: too? by enabling the restricted driver that is installing the nvidia drivers.. did you also download and install the one from nvidia's site?
[14:50] <gnrfan> anyone ever used an external projector on a MacBook 3.1 aka Santa Rosa running Ubuntu?
[14:50] <rovelar> No. I just installed what it said. But now I have a thing that say Nvidia XServe settings,.
[14:50] <gnrfan> I'm googling but can't find anything really useful for now...
[14:50] <rovelar> scunizi: No. I just installed what it said. But now I have a thing that say Nvidia XServe settings,.
[14:50] <scunizi> rovelar: that "thing" is it in System>Admin

[14:52] <lwizardl> is it a protected video dvd?

[14:53] <Ehsan_mahmoudi> lwizardl: no
[14:53] <lwizardl> Ehsan_mahmoudi, hmm onlything i could think of then is maybe the disk is scratched
[14:54] <Ehsan_mahmoudi> lwizardl:  it contains some .deb Packages
[14:54] <seradin> can someone tell me how to rip an TS-(Transport Stream) with debian?
[14:54] <scunizi> rovelar: there's part of your issue.. you need to tell it lcd
[14:54] <lwizardl> Ehsan_mahmoudi, was it wrote from a user other than the one your using?
[14:54] <rovelar> scunizi: Ok... where I can put this info?
[14:54] <lwizardl> i've had a few files fail from that I wasn't the owner and it wouldn't let me copy it
[14:55] <kim_bruning> my /boot is only 100mb, and it has filled up ... there are several kernel versions in there. How do I trim it down so that only the latest kernel is installed?
[14:55] <Ehsan_mahmoudi>  my system is single user
[14:55] <cristi__> scunizi if you want to reach higher resolution you should install nvidia-settings
[14:55] <Ehsan_mahmoudi> my dvd is too clean! and no problem on windows
[14:56] <lwizardl> hmm not sure then sorry
[14:56] <Ehsan_mahmoudi> lwizardl: thanks
[14:56] <oCean_> Ehsan_mahmoudi: do you get a more detailed error, or is "input/output error" all
[14:57] <Ehsan_mahmoudi> oCean_: no, just input/Output !
[14:57] <scunizi> rovelar: I'm not really sure.
[14:57] <scunizi> cristi__: I don't
[14:58] <Ehsan_mahmoudi> do you know any manner to exchange file names form lowercase to uppercase?
[14:58] <rovelar> scunizi: Oki.. Actually, I loose my self here.
[14:58] <Etherael> Lets say you have a home network with a bunch of various computers on it, with various partitions... is there any way to aggregate the space all up together into one redundant filesystem that is auto duplicated between the hosts?
[14:58] <cristi__> you should because i use nvidia and my best resolution was 800x600 now i can get 1600x1200
[14:58] <oCean_> Ehsan_mahmoudi: In output?
[14:58] <oCean_> Ehsan_mahmoudi: or on filesystem
[14:58] <scunizi> cristi__: I don't have a resolution problem
[14:59] <Ehsan_mahmoudi> oCean_: no! it's a different question!
[14:59] <kim_bruning> Ehsan_mahmoudi, man rename
[14:59] <cristi__> you have because all you can get is 124x768
[14:59] <oCean_> Ehsan_mahmoudi: ok. Then use "tr" command
[14:59] <rovelar> cristi__: I have resolution problem
[14:59] <scunizi> cristi__: I don't know what you're talking about.
[14:59] <Ehsan_mahmoudi> oCean_: how?
[14:59] <Ehsan_mahmoudi> for all files in a directory
[15:00] <kim_bruning> rename 'y/a-z/A-Z/' *
[15:00] <cristi__> you sey that your best resoulution is 124x768
[15:00] <kim_bruning> Ehsan_mahmoudi, read what I just said ;-)
[15:00] <oCean_> Ehsan_mahmoudi: like "echo test | tr [a-z] [A-Z]"
[15:00] <rovelar> cristi__: Yes
[15:00] <kim_bruning> oCean_, no. you use rename. man rename
[15:00] <scunizi> rovelar: he's lost.. ignore him
[15:00] <oCean_> kim_bruning: no, he claims it's a diff question, not about filesystem
[15:00] <kim_bruning> Cripps, 1024x768
[15:01] <kim_bruning> oCean_, he says he wants to rename all files in a directory. How is that not done by rename? :-)
[15:01] <space_cadet> scunizi so when i add the medibuntu repo, should the 180 driver just pop up in the hardware drivers list, or do i have to synaptic for it?
[15:01] <dixon2081> does ubuntu come with a firewall that i could install?
[15:01] <Ehsan_mahmoudi> kim_bruning: yes!
[15:01] <scunizi> rovelar: open a terminal and type xrandr and you should get a list of supported resolutions.. is your desired resolution listed?
[15:01] <oCean_> Ehsan_mahmoudi: so why do you say it's a different question?
[15:01] <scunizi> space_cadet: you have to "refresh" the repos
[15:02] <space_cadet> sudo apt-get update?
[15:02] <lrvick> xrander huh?
[15:02] <scunizi> space_cadet: yes.. that will work too
[15:02] <scunizi> lrvick: xrandr
[15:02] <kim_bruning> dixon2081, the linux kernel has a built in firewall, which you can configure using iptables. I don't know of any nice gui software to access it, but I'm pretty sure that does exist
[15:02] <godmok> hi, yesterday i reinstalled ubuntu, and mounted the home partition, and since then my user is reseted to default (all old data nowhere to be found), but gparted and nautilus shows, that there are 70gb used
[15:02] <lrvick> he he... now i have proof this thing is actually running 2048x1536 res
[15:02] <Ehsan_mahmoudi> but it's not about my last question!
[15:02] <kim_bruning> dixon2081, smart ubuntu people often try to simply make sure they don't have any ports open to begin with :-)
[15:02] <Ehsan_mahmoudi> :D
[15:03] <lrvick> i had to install nosquint and increase font sizes ^_^
[15:03] <kim_bruning> Ehsan_mahmoudi, so is your question answered now?
[15:03] <kim_bruning> dixon2081, so you might be able to narrow your search using that information :-)
[15:03] <Ehsan_mahmoudi> kim_bruning: no! i'm now confused!
[15:03] <lrvick> kim_bruning: smart admins in general even.
[15:03] <Ehsan_mahmoudi> kim_bruning: man or tr?
[15:03] <space_cadet> here goes.
[15:04] <dixon2081> a friend of mine was helping me figure out my webcam, and he is in canada, but was able to access my OS mainframe and able to manupulate it in a good way, i did nothing to install a firewall, and have been trying to figure out how to install a firewall
[15:04] <scunizi> space_cadet: you doing all this from terminal?
[15:04] <oCean_> Ehsan_mahmoudi: the "tr" is only for manipulating output. Just use rename or move for changing filenames on the filesystem
[15:04] <kim_bruning> Ehsan_mahmoudi, rename!
[15:04] <kim_bruning> Ehsan_mahmoudi, why do you want tr?
[15:04] <bromic94> hey all
[15:05] <bromic94> trying to dual screen any suggestions?
[15:05] <kim_bruning> Ehsan_mahmoudi, or did you want to use tr to rename files?
[15:05] <scunizi> lrvick: do you run two monitors?
[15:05] <kim_bruning> bromic94, 1 graphics card with 2 outputs, or 2 graphics cards?
[15:05] <lrvick> scunizi: nope just one 22 inch crt
[15:05] <scunizi> lrvick: nice
[15:05] <lrvick> scunizi: that is what xorg7.3 put it at by default
[15:05] <kim_bruning> bromic94, I solved it for an nvidia with 2 outputs :-)
[15:05] <lrvick> mouse cursor was a salt spec... it was halarious
[15:06] <scunizi> lrvick: what kind of 22"?
[15:06] <Ehsan_mahmoudi> kim_bruning: oh! look! i hame many files in adirectory that i want to renmae these files form lowercase to uppercase by single command. ok? now what is my answer? :D
[15:06] <Ehsan_mahmoudi> hame=have!
[15:06] <kim_bruning> bromic94, you need twinview
[15:06] <dixon2081> i found how to install the firewall, thanks for the help
[15:06] <lrvick> scunizi: sony multiscan e540
[15:06] <kim_bruning> Ehsan_mahmoudi, FINE, dude, pay attention, I answered several times
[15:07] <lrvick> Trinitron*
[15:07] <kim_bruning> Ehsan_mahmoudi, rename 'y/a-z/A-Z/' *
[15:07] <scunizi> bromic94: with nvidia use nvidia-settings.. it's a no brainer.. ati or other's .. not sure
[15:07] <kim_bruning> Ehsan_mahmoudi, will rename all files from lower case to upper case :-)
[15:07] <kim_bruning> Ehsan_mahmoudi, (in the current directory)
[15:07] <kim_bruning> Ehsan_mahmoudi, will that do?
[15:07] <Ehsan_mahmoudi> kim_bruning: thanks a lot!
[15:07] <kim_bruning> Ehsan_mahmoudi, at least, if you don't mind using the command line :)
[15:07] <bromic94> scunizi: i have ati i believe
[15:07] <scunizi> lrvick: they are getting cheaper these days.. I've always like the dual monitor setup with xinerama.
[15:08] <Ehsan_mahmoudi> :-*
[15:08] <scunizi> bromic94: sorry can't help you there.
[15:08] <kim_bruning> and there's xinerama
[15:08] <bromic94> bc it said restricted drivers ati/amd proprietary FGLRX graphics drivesr
[15:08] <kim_bruning> does anyone know if it's easy to combine xinerama and twinview?
[15:08] <kim_bruning> :-)
[15:08] <bromic94> any has any suggestions
[15:08] <lrvick> bromic94: if you are using nvidia drivers or open source drivers the resolution configuration tool that ships with ubuntu can usually change multiscreen settings on the fly. Used it out of the box on several systems for multi-monitors. You can even add and remove screens without restarting x easily.
[15:08] <kim_bruning> bromic94, oh dear. ATI
[15:08] <bullgard4> I added in /etc/samba/smb.conf a line: "log level = 3". But why does the command "~$ smbclient \\\\MD97600\\freigegebenMD -U <password> -W MSHOME" issued on computer T42 in the same LAN still not reflect in /var/log/samba/log.t42?
[15:08] <scunizi> kim_bruning: it's one or the other
[15:08] <kim_bruning> lrvick, oh geeze :-)
[15:09] <lrvick> scunizi: Ive never payed more than 20$ for a monitor. I love goodwill.
[15:09] <kim_bruning> scunizi, so I can't have 2 nvidia cards and 4 monitors?
[15:09] <lrvick> In fact I just threw away about 35 monitors I could no longer store.
[15:09] <scunizi> kim_bruning: sure
[15:09] <xconvergex> hello !
[15:09] <lrvick> he he
[15:09] <xconvergex> why I must chose ubuntu ?
[15:10] <bazhang> xconvergex, discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[15:10] <lrvick> xconvergex: Ubuntu is just one choice. there are lots of great distros.
[15:10] <bromic94> kim_bruning or lrvick can you help me with ati?
[15:10] <scunizi> xconvergex: because the "force" will be with you
[15:10] <kim_bruning> scunizi, Ah okay... I'll have to try that sometime in my copious free time then, (when I have copious free cash ;-) )
[15:10] <rovelar> scunizi: I have not idea where to move my friend
[15:10] <lrvick> I have 3 distros on my desk spread over 6 computers.
[15:10] <kim_bruning> scunizi, the source? ::-P
[15:11] <scunizi> rovelar: did you try xrandr in a terminal?
[15:11] <daftykins> where is the PATH environment variable stored within my home folder?
[15:11] <daftykins> i don't seem to have a .bash_profile
[15:11] <lrvick> bromic94: well let me consult the google for you...
[15:11] <scunizi> kim_bruning: ?
[15:11] <kim_bruning> daftykins, nowhere... but you might have a .bashrc :-)
[15:11] <unop> daftykins, ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile
[15:11] <rovelar> yes: and result in many things
[15:11] <kim_bruning> scunizi, nm
[15:11] <scunizi> k
[15:11] <swayed> Hi - There is a little app in Wundows Power Toys named Move To / Copy To - Is there something like that I could use in Ibex (running Gnome) ? ? Terminal - not sure of commands ? ?
[15:12] <bromic94> how do i find what graphics card i have?
[15:12] <scunizi> rovelar: should have been a list of resolutions available. was the one you want listed?
[15:12] <rovelar> scunizi: 1024x768 the higher
[15:12] <kim_bruning> daftykins, if you have none of the above, you can make a ~/.bashrc and put in export PATH="whateverwhatever"
[15:12] <kim_bruning> smarter is
[15:12] <rovelar> scunzi: No. I nedd 1440x900
[15:12] <scunizi> rovelar: ah.. sorry I just saw your pm.. I'm on irssi and it's not always evident when you get a pm
[15:12] <Lint> what is Linux' autoexec.bat?
[15:12] <daftykins> ".profile" contains PATH settings but it's as if they refer to them coming from elsewhere kim_bruning
[15:12] <kim_bruning> export PATH="bla;foo;bar;baz;andwhatever;$PATH"
[15:12] <kim_bruning> daftykins, not sure what you mean :-)
[15:13] <scunizi> rovelar: hang on a sec
[15:13] <kim_bruning> daftykins, in any case, path is a variable... you set it :-)
[15:13] <daftykins> yeah i'm trying to locate where it's created
[15:13] <kim_bruning> daftykins, a bit like autoexec.bat in dos ;-)
[15:13] <kim_bruning> daftykins, except unix is a tad more sophisticated. :-)
[15:13] <daftykins> yeah i know what it does but i'm not sure what defines it to begin with
[15:13] <kim_bruning> ah!
[15:13] <rovelar> scunizi: Ok.
[15:13] <kim_bruning> okay
[15:13] <kim_bruning> daftykins, try pstree :-)
[15:13] <lrvick> bromic94: http://hamzakc.wordpress.com/2006/10/16/dual-monitor-setup-ubuntu-ati/ give that a shot for starters
[15:14] <kim_bruning> daftykins, your shell inherits stuff from wherever you started from :-)
[15:14] <kim_bruning> daftykins, but I'll wager it starts off at /etc/profile
[15:14] <kim_bruning> daftykins, so take a look there first
[15:14] <daftykins> yeah i've been in there
[15:14] <daftykins> let me read it :)
[15:14] <scunizi> rovelar: try xrandr -q and see if the 1440 rez shows up there.
[15:14] <lrvick> my svn build of gimp is almost done!
[15:14]  * lrvick dances
[15:14] <kim_bruning> lrvick, ooooohhh... living on the edge, are we? ;-)
[15:15] <cristi__> helloo i used windows for a while and in control panel says that i have 512 ram but in ubuntu is 510 ram why?
[15:15] <bromic94> lrvick: let me download the updated driver
[15:15] <bromic94> from ati first and then do that
[15:15] <Peri_ciieg> cewex cute
[15:15] <scunizi> cristi__: windows ate the other 2 bytes
[15:15] <cristi__> helloo i used windows for a while and in control panel says that i have 512mb ram but in ubuntu is 510mb ram why?
[15:15] <kim_bruning> cristi__, that depends on a large number of factors... :)
[15:15] <lrvick> kim_bruning: they just added brush rotation support in the svn trunk. that is HUGE. Random brush rotation....
[15:15]  * lrvick swoons
[15:15] <rovelar> scunizi: 1152x864
[15:15] <lrvick> sorry offtopic
[15:15] <lrvick> lol
[15:15] <kim_bruning> lrvick, what can you do with that? ;-)
[15:16]  * kim_bruning is curious
[15:16] <godmok> hi, yesterday i reinstalled ubuntu, and mounted the home partition, and since then my user is reseted to default (all old data nowhere to be found), but gparted and nautilus shows, that there are 70gb used
[15:16] <scunizi> rovelar: interesting..
[15:16] <kim_bruning> god-mok, make sure you actually mounted the right home partition?
[15:17] <rovelar> scunizi: Really unusual
[15:17] <kim_bruning> god-mok, OR! Things might not be set up right with permissions
[15:17] <godmok> kim_bruning: yeah
[15:17] <godmok> kim_bruning: not the first time i did it
[15:17] <kim_bruning> god-mok, so maybe your user is looking in the wrong home directory, or doesn't have the right permissions
[15:17] <swayed> What is easiest way to "Move" a folder to another partition ? ?
[15:17] <kim_bruning> god-mok, could have gone randomly wrong just this once. (say hello to murphy ;-) )
[15:17] <scunizi> rovelar: try .. xrandr -s 1440x900@50
[15:17] <Scix> When I search for packages in Sybapic, nothing shows. Any one who have experienced this before?
[15:17] <lrvick> kim_bruning: well I will be making a brush full of about 100 bits of random code. Thanks to the new brush dynamics (now hopefulyl with working rotation) I will be abel to randomly paint code 9or anything for that matter) each bit being laced in a random spit, with random rotation, and random size. You could for instance create a simple brush with just 2 or three leaves in it... and turn on the brush drnamics and create a fall scene in seconds.
[15:17] <kim_bruning> swayed, drag and drop? mv ?
[15:17] <lrvick> photoshop eat your heart out
[15:18] <scunizi> rovelar: if I got the numbers wrong correct them
[15:18] <kim_bruning> lrvick, OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
[15:18] <bazhang> !ot
[15:18] <god-mok> kim_bruning: ah, sorry, godmok is my livecd user here :)
[15:18]  * lrvick hides
[15:19] <kim_bruning> god-mok, Well, before going nuts, try to see if your /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow and fstab and the output from mount (with no args)   all match up in some sane way
[15:19] <kim_bruning> god-mok   ls -l  /home too
[15:19] <swayed> kim_bruning; Tried drag n drop - it leaves a copy behind I have to come back and delete - what above using "mv" - not afraid to use Terminal - just not sure what commands ? ?
[15:19] <rovelar> scunizi: not found in aviable mode
[15:19] <scunizi> rovelar: k.. just a minute
[15:19] <kim_bruning> swayed, well, just delete the copy that was left behind
[15:19] <kim_bruning> swayed, you can also do ctrl-x   ctrl-v   (like in windows or mac-os)
[15:20] <kim_bruning> swayed, or mv...
[15:20] <god-mok> kim_bruning: k, -> boot to normal
[15:20] <kim_bruning> swayed, but when moving between PARTITIONS.... it doesn't really matter, since you need to copy and delete anyway
[15:20] <swayed> kim_bruning; ok will lookup how to use mv shell - thx
[15:20] <kim_bruning> swayed, all the move commands just do a copy and delete :-)
[15:20] <kim_bruning> swamptin, mv in shell works just about the same as cp :-)
[15:21] <kim_bruning> swayed, mv can sometimes be optimised when moving inside the same partition. (it just changes the directory entries :-) )
[15:21] <kim_bruning> swayed, but cross-partition you can't make any assumptions :-)
[15:21] <Lint> is there a commant to tell the mount point of the path given?
[15:21] <kim_bruning> swayed, so even drag and drop and then delete works fine. You won't save much time using other methods :-P
[15:21] <swayed> kim_bruning; Your say even I use the - mv - shell it will still leave a copy behind?
[15:21] <eilios> Hello, can any of you help me?
[15:21] <PerryArmstrong> hey i am trying to install ubuntu in my friends lappy and it shows the starting of partitioner and stops at 46% and i am not able to continue installation....any idea??
[15:22] <PStryder> Ubuntu 8.10, BC4311 wireless - installed restricted driver (b43) and wireless card not in ifconfig output after reboot.  (was working after installing driver before reboot.)  What am I missing?
[15:22] <swayed> kim_bruning; Yea gottcha - Life is hard enough already - right?
[15:22] <bazhang> PerryArmstrong, check the md5, do the disk integrity check after burning iso at very low speed
[15:22] <scunizi> rovelar: try .. xrandr --addmode S-video 1440x900
[15:23] <kim_bruning> swayed, no, it will copy the file, and then delete the original :-P
[15:23] <PerryArmstrong> bazhang;; so thats a cd problem??
[15:23] <bazhang> PerryArmstrong, could be a bad burn or a corrupt iso
[15:23] <cristi__> PerryArmstrong : try another ubuntu cd or clean the existing cd it may be damaged or dirty
[15:23] <eilios> I can't run any 3d things, I suppose it's because of a driver issue but when I check the drivers panel it says there is nothing there.
[15:23] <kim_bruning> swayed, so that does work. It's just not gonna gain you much.
[15:23] <rovelar> scunizi: cannot find output "S-video"
[15:23] <bazhang> !md5 | PerryArmstrong
[15:23] <oCean_> Lint: When you do a "df ." it will show the filesystem and mountpoint of your current directory
[15:24] <eilios> I clicked Hardware drivers but nothing happened. :(
[15:24] <kim_bruning> swayed, OTOH if you're reorganizing several gigabytes of data on the same partition, mv is your friend ;-)
[15:24] <farhad_hf> hi,
[15:24] <kim_bruning> oCean_, cheat! ;-)
[15:24] <kim_bruning> farhad_hf, helo!
[15:24] <swayed> kim_bruning; Yo0u said one key word there " speed " - Was trying find a quicker solution - moving some movie .avi files and it takes longer then I like - no biggy - just impatient!  :o)
[15:25] <scunizi> rovelar: we're getting closer.. I'm looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution  and the thing you might need to do is xrandr -newmode <ModeLine>  but it doesn't say how to create a <ModeLine>
[15:25] <kim_bruning> swayed, Right. want the lowdown?
[15:25] <PerryArmstrong> bazhang; thank you very much
[15:25] <kim_bruning> swayed, when you move some movie .avi files  inside the same partition   use ctrl-x , ctrl-v    or use mv
[15:25] <fabio> scunizi: look at xorg.conf
[15:25] <kim_bruning> swayed, because then it's actually faster
[15:25] <swayed> kim_bruning; yea I always like tid-bits that are helpful.....
[15:25] <bazhang> PerryArmstrong, if none of those work, then you may wish to try some different bootoptions
[15:26] <rovelar> scunizi: Yes.. It's what we have... let's see what's happens.
[15:26] <kim_bruning> swayed, when going BETWEEN partitions... there's no gain to be had... partitions might be different filing systems, different disks, different computers, even different operating systems... there's no way to tell
[15:26] <kim_bruning> swayed, so all the commands apply the most stupid method possible ;-)
[15:26] <rovelar> scunizi: If I give you my email... You can tell me if you found something..?
[15:26] <swayed> kim_bruning, This is actually a separate FAT32 partition on the same drive.
[15:26] <kim_bruning> swayed, and that's slow :-P
[15:26] <mcolne> which package do I need to install for the new nvidia driver?
[15:27] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions PerryArmstrong
[15:27] <kim_bruning> swayed, yup.. so that'll use the slow method
[15:27] <AJNpa28> ive been trying to install with wubi on averatec 3200 series laptop, it wont boot in because of wireless firmware on the reboot, it takes me to command prompt i run the command to get the firmware with it wired to the network with a cable, it seems to install the firmware successfuly then nothing
[15:27] <swayed> kim_bruning, Well something you gotta live with I guess......   :o(
[15:27] <scunizi> fabio: it's not in xorg.. xorg doesn't handle the resolution anymore
[15:27] <farhad_hf> i have ubuntu 8.10 and i'm tring to install nvidia driver , i used envyng to install it , after installing driver login manager didnt start , i installed linux-source and linux-headers and downloaded the driver and tried again to install , but nvidia-installer gives me this error: (kernel : 2.6.27-7-generic) http://pastebin.com/f63ae5c88 any ideas?
[15:28] <scunizi> fabio: at least in xorg.conf
[15:28] <fabio> tha's what i meant
[15:28] <fabio> there are several xrandr front to handle with
[15:28] <mcolne> |nvidia
[15:28] <mcolne> !nvidia

[15:28] <swayed> kim_bruning, Kinda like little ol ladies at Stop that are afraid to make right turn huh?
[15:28] <kim_bruning> swayed, The trick is to not use win32 partitions
[15:29] <swayed> Stop Sign
[15:29] <kim_bruning> swayed, yeah, something like that
[15:29] <fabio> grandr  or even arandr to name a few
[15:29] <scunizi> fabio: in the repos?... I know xrandr but that is cli
[15:29] <fabio> scunizi: yes in the repo
[15:29] <kim_bruning> swayed, if you have lots of avi files, across multiple drives... think of using lvm :-)
[15:29] <Kimi_will_the_ra> how do i capture whats going on in my ubuntu's screen ??
[15:29] <scunizi> fabio: k.. I'll look at that. thanks.
[15:30] <fabio> Kimi_will_the_ra: press the stamp key
[15:30] <kim_bruning> swayed, I drop all my movies and stuff in a great big 3 Terabyte lvm partition across multiple drives :-)
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> Kimi_will_the_ra: recordmydesktop
[15:30] <Kimi_will_the_ra> I mean, how do i   capture and save it as A VIDEO /?
[15:30] <Lint> Kimi_will_the_ra, printscreen should wrk
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> !info recordmydesktop
[15:30] <AJNpa28> ive installed without issue on several other machines, the only distro ive been able to boot into on this machine in any way was goblinx and that wouldnt install or discover wireless
[15:30] <kim_bruning> swayed, though it takes a bit of  time to figure out how this lvm works (it's total overkill, as usual...) once you get it it's REALLY simple and easy to use... much handier than traditional partitioning :-)
[15:30] <swayed> kim_bruning, So I'm not too far into this project - I could copy back (only 3 folders) and use gparted and make a different linux partition and it will go faster ?
[15:31] <kim_bruning> swayed, AND you can move files trivially fast :-P
[15:31] <Kimi_will_the_ra> thanks Actionparnship
[15:31] <kim_bruning> swayed, well, anythings gonna be faster than having multiple win32 partitions ;-)
[15:31] <Kimi_will_the_ra> ActionParnship is it in synpantic ?
[15:31] <kim_bruning> swayed, but if you're sharing data with windows, you gots no choice ^^;;
[15:31] <scunizi> rovelar: fabio pointed out that there are some gui setting tools for randr.. look in synaptic and search for randr and  you'll see gnome-randr-applet and grandr at the top of the list.. you might give those a try.. never used them myself.
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> Kimi_will_the_ra: sudo apt-get install recordmydesktop
[15:32] <kim_bruning> swayed, and like copying BETWEEN partitions is always SNAFU :-)
[15:32] <swayed> kim_bruning, there is this 169gb partition off the end of this 500gb I'm using right now.
[15:32] <[_I> ÕÓÉ
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> Kimi_will_the_ra: you can use synaptic if you wish, that command will do it for you though
[15:32] <Kimi_will_the_ra> ActionParnship but which one to choose from synaptic ? it shows there ??
[15:32] <godmok> kim_bruning: well, the fstab looks ok. but i got a file named "/etc/passwd-", that looks like the normal, but differs at the end. the same with "/etc/shadow"
[15:32] <Kimi_will_the_ra> ok
[15:32] <kim_bruning> swayed, meh, prolly not worth it. Unless you have to move avi files very often
[15:32] <Kimi_will_the_ra> i will try that command
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> Kimi_will_the_ra: synaptic is too slow for my taste
[15:32] <rovelar> scunizi: Muchas gracias my friend!!
[15:32] <[_I> ÃÎÂÍÎ
[15:32] <kim_bruning> god-mok, I think you can ignore those (famous last words)
[15:32] <caleb_> sudo apt-get install **** !
[15:32] <Kimi_will_the_ra> ActionParnship thanks
[15:33] <[_I> ÏÅÐÄÀÊ
[15:33] <rovelar> I'll try it and see what happen
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> caleb_: what of it?
[15:33] <bromic94> lrvick: downloaded updated driver and it is working
[15:33] <caleb_> pardon, i typed that in the wrong window
[15:33] <kim_bruning> swayed, otoh if you plan to buy more hard drives in the near future... at least you'll have heard of it. :-)
[15:33] <swayed> kim_bruning, nah - just a one time thing - trying too make more room on my 320gb main ext3 linux partition.
[15:33] <bromic94> just now need to dwal with the wifi issue
[15:33] <bromic94> then i am all set
[15:33] <scunizi> rovelar: I hope it works. when it does you'll be a happy camper.. my lappy is only capable of 1280x800.. 14" Del Vostro
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> caleb_: np bro
[15:33] <[_I> 0100100101010010100101001111011111001111
[15:33] <kim_bruning> swayed, let's just make a long story short and say that you're stuck copying slowly today
[15:33] <caleb_> :D
[15:34] <kim_bruning> swayed, although with lvm you can also dynamically resize partitions in cool ways ;-)
[15:34] <kim_bruning> swayed, Ok, I'll hush about lvm now ;-)
[15:34] <ubuntuNEWUSR> anyone help for me?
[15:34] <rovelar> Nice.. I'm so happy whit this Ubuntu...
[15:34] <kim_bruning> swayed, just take the speed hit for today :-)
[15:34] <ubuntuNEWUSR> i like the install windows driver for my belkin wireless G pcmci card with chipset Ralink RT2500
[15:34] <rovelar> scunizi: Nice.. I'm so happy whit this Ubuntu...
[15:34] <swayed> kim-bruning, Copy that! heh heh little play on words.....
[15:34] <kim_bruning> swayed, you'd take longer learning how to use lvm today.
[15:34] <bazhang> ubuntuNEWUSR, its in the kernel
[15:34] <rovelar> scunizi: Just some staff that it's giving a hard time
[15:34] <kim_bruning> swayed, you'd take longer learning lvm than it would take to copy the files :-P
[15:35] <scunizi> rovelar: I made the switch about 3 years ago.. when I need it windows now runs in a VM with virtual box.
[15:35] <macman> any good ebooks on linux for n00bs ?
[15:35] <kim_bruning> swayed, if you were handling a few TB... this would be a different story , of course
[15:35] <kim_bruning> swayed, I guess you need to torrent some more before that becomes a problem :-P
[15:35] <rovelar> I love virtual box too.
[15:35] <lrvick> swayed: all that siad... lvm is totally worth the lern.
[15:35] <caleb_> I'm looking forward to the 9.04 release, installed beta 5 and used ext4, it flies! unsure about the data loss issue though, not sure how they're going to implement it, less avoid using ext4 for your home partition
[15:35] <swayed> kim-bruning; Thats a very very true statement! about learning HowTo lvm etc.
[15:35] <rovelar> scunizi: I love virtual box too.

[15:36] <justin__> smalls
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> ubuntuNEWUSR: Since Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) the rt2500 driver is installed out of the box, so your wireless card should be visible as "ra0"
[15:36] <swayed> kim_bruning, well if I get real brave latter today might give it the god ol boy try ......

[15:36] <justin__> can anyone help me take a video_ts and turn it into an iso, im new
[15:36] <kim_bruning> swayed, and then you'll complain to me how it's all way too complicated for just the few files... which -granted- it is :-)
[15:36] <Zzeiss> What do I need to do to tell Ubuntu to NOT wait for the eth0 DHCP to time out during boot?

[15:38] <Zzeiss> !upstart?  Ok, dunno that one.
[15:38] <Leefmc> Question: How do you manage your DST in Ubuntu? Mine is apparently set wrong, because my clock is an hour behind and i can't make it right. (if i manually change the time, ubuntu eventually sets it back.. perhaps after reboots, not sure)
[15:38] <Zzeiss> !upstart
[15:39] <kaski> Alot of fonts on websites I usually visit don't display right, will getting the windows font pack fix some of these?
[15:39] <scunizi> maybe
[15:40] <god-mok> well i am at the beginning again. thx anyway
[15:40] <magcius> Bah, I wish Ubuntu used PackageKit.
[15:40] <magcius> And PolicyKit.
[15:40] <Chousuke> Jaunty uses PolicyKit
[15:40] <Chousuke> don't know about packagekit :/
[15:41] <tritium> magcius: packagekit is in the reposotories
[15:41] <rovelar> scunizi: Thanks you!
[15:41] <rovelar> scunizi: and good bye!
[15:41] <Zzeiss> ... except that upstart says "job files are in /etc/init/jobs.d " and there _is no such directory_ on this machine.
[15:41] <magcius> tritium, 0.4 and 0.5 branches?
[15:41] <scunizi> rovelar: np..
[15:41] <tritium> !info packagekit
[15:41] <kaski> Is ubuntu a rpm based distro
[15:42] <magcius> kaski, nope.
[15:42] <scunizi> kaski: no .deb
[15:42] <tritium> kaski: no, it's debian based
[15:42] <magcius> kaski, Debian uses APT.
[15:42] <mashman> hi
[15:42] <kaski> Okay got it
[15:42] <Chousuke> magcius: dpkg :)
[15:42] <Kimi> recordmydesktop wont showup in applications
[15:42] <mashman> i just install ubuntu inside my window do i need to click the install again ?
[15:42] <Chousuke> magcius: you can use APT on rpm-based distros as well
[15:42] <magcius> Chousuke, so apt-get is a front-end for apt which is a front-end for dpkg?
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> kaski: no it uses deb
[15:43] <Kimi> mashman i think that you are in live cd.... not installed wubi.... in wubi you wont get install icon on desktop
[15:43] <Chousuke> magcius: yes.
[15:43] <Chousuke> magcius: though as I said, APT is not limited to dpkg
[15:43] <Kimi> !wubi | mashman
[15:43] <magcius> Chousuke, I think that's a little too many layers of abstraction.
[15:43] <Chousuke> magcius: nah. APT is a library
[15:43] <Kimi> !wubi > mashman
[15:43] <Chousuke> magcius: so it's really just apt-get using the APT library that is a frontend to dpkg
[15:44] <ubuntuNEWUSR> i like the install windows driver for my belkin wireless G pcmci card with chipset Ralink RT2500
[15:44] <Kimi> mashman to install wubi (install inside windows) you need to put the cd inside WHEN WINDOWS IS RUNNING... and not to boot from cd
[15:44] <vallhalla81> hi there i have jused pluged a new ide hard drive in as slave how can i get ubuntu to detect it?
[15:44] <lighttitan> Having problems with Nvidia drivers 180.29. Installed them, they worked GREAT. Did a system update, including kernel, and now when I try to reinstall them it causes lots of problems... any suggestions on how to wipe all the configs and start over with a fresh Nvidia install?
[15:44] <Kimi> mashman did you understand ?
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> Chousuke: its a tool
[15:45] <mashman> yah
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> Chousuke: Advanced Packaging Tool
[15:45] <Exsaura> Hello may i ask a question about my pc ?
[15:45] <Kimi> ActionParsnip its not showing up in applicatiins
[15:45] <scunizi> lighttitan: what happens when you try to reinstall?
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> Exsaura: ask the room, it will reply
[15:45] <Chousuke> ActionParsnip: there's no command line "APT" tool.
[15:45] <mashman> but in 8.10 there's already a wubi that will help to install ubuntu and i have no live cd in my cd rom
[15:45] <ubuntuNEWUSR> help me pls i like the install windows driver for my belkin wireless G pcmci card with chipset Ralink RT2500
[15:45] <Exsaura> Why does my computer hang/jam ?
[15:45] <Chousuke> ActionParsnip: unless you're willing to call apt-* that "tool" :)
[15:46] <Kimi> mashman are you ubuntu or still staying in windows ?
[15:46] <aedan> How would I change only the vertical speed of my mouse?
[15:46] <ActionParsnip> Chousuke: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/apt-get.html   i'm just quoting from that
[15:46] <erUSUL> ubuntuNEWUSR: rt2500 pci cards work great with native drivers no need to use windows drivers
[15:46] <oCean_> Exsaura: sure, just try to describe your problem/issues/question in one line, and see if anyone knows the answer
[15:46] <lighttitan> when I try to reinstall, upon reboot I get a window telling me errors and X server won't start properly
[15:46] <mashman> im still in windows
[15:46] <mashman> im still in windows Kimi
[15:46] <bazhang> ubuntuNEWUSR, you have asked that several times and received answers as many times. Please dont repeat.
[15:46] <Kimi> mashman then restart computer and enter ubuntu
[15:46] <Kimi> mashman it must work fine
[15:46] <scunizi> lighttitan: and are you reinstalling the drivers from a TTY with the gui stopped?
[15:47] <lighttitan> yes I am
[15:47] <Chousuke> ActionParsnip: it's a bit complicated because apt-* are not the only APT tools. there's also aptitude
[15:47] <Kimi> Actionparsnip yo gave recordmydesktop and it wont showup in applications
[15:47] <oCean_> vallhalla81: see what command "sudo fdisk -l" outputs...
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> Exsaura: check your ram and hard drive are healthy, you could also wait for a hang then when it unhangs, read dmesg | less
[15:47] <lighttitan> when I reinstall from TTY it also gives me errors stating that drivers were installed another way and it will TRY to remove them as best as it can
[15:47] <mashman> Kimi still have the install icons how can i get rid of it ? and when im trying to install ubuntu there's no root define
[15:47] <vallhalla81> oCean_ it just shows the partitions for sda not the slave
[15:48] <ActionParsnip> Chousuke: the site says what apt stands for and the T stands for tool, so it must be a tool
[15:48] <scunizi> lighttitan: that's weird.. I've done that several times with no issues.. there is a way to uninstall the nvidia binary driver then try to reinstall again.. also make sure that all nvidia references in synaptic are NOT installed.
[15:48] <Zzeiss> lighttitan: I hate to say it (and you will hate it too) but I have had nothing but grief from using the NVidia closed-source drivers.  You're better off running in VESA mode (and, if the NVidia card is one you can remove) take it out and sell it on Ebay.
[15:48] <jvai> i can't play dvd's on hardy anymore, totem gstreamer nor xine backend, even mplayer gives up the error, what other plugin would i need?
[15:48] <Kimi> mashman are you in ubuntu or windows now ?? :-O
[15:48] <Exsaura> Okay ever since i bought my computer,i've been experiencing all kind of problems like Blue screens, and such.And one day i upgraded my ram to 512 and ever since it keeps jamming and i had to press the restart button every time.
[15:48] <aedan>  /j #fedora
[15:48] <mashman> window
[15:48] <oCean_> vallhalla81: it only lists /dev/hda? No mention of /dev/hdb?
[15:48] <mashman> window Kimi
[15:48] <Chousuke> ActionParsnip: it's a tool, but not in the sense that "ls" is a tool. or "grep"
[15:48] <vallhalla81> oCean_ thats right
[15:48] <Kimi> then restart computer mashman  choose ubuntu .... then come here again :P
[15:48] <sebsebseb>  
[15:48] <ActionParsnip> Chousuke: i call it as i read it
[15:49] <mashman> and how can i connect internet using dial up ?
[15:49] <mashman> and how can i connect internet using dial up Kimi ?
[15:49] <Chousuke> ActionParsnip: Wikipedia puts it like this: "There is no single "apt" program; apt is itself the package name containing the set of tools (and requiring the libraries) that support its functionality. A significant part of apt is a C++ library of functions (another package known as libapt) which are used by these related front-end programs"
[15:49] <oCean_> vallhalla81: hmm.. The drive is connected correctly I assume
[15:50] <vallhalla81> oCean_ yes that was the first thing i checked
[15:50] <ActionParsnip> Chousuke: mines from the official docs, not some 3rd party site
[15:50] <lighttitan> Zzeiss... VESA drivers don't run 3D acceleration. So no games. Also I have had NO problems running NVidia drivers and can run them now if I want to go with 177... but I want some of the new improvements from 180.29... thanks for your concern though...
[15:50] <epaphus> hey guys... anybody ever seen this error at boot up... Using drive 0, partition 3. No O/S
[15:50] <Kimi> mashman i dont know that .... sorry :'(
[15:50] <lighttitan> scunizi, ok I guess I will just keep trying or go back to 177 drivers :( Thanks
[15:50] <mashman> who knows to set up a dial connection on ubuntu ?
[15:50] <epaphus> hey guys... anybody ever seen this error at boot up... Using drive 0, partition 3. No O/S     ... could this be a grub error?
[15:50] <vallhalla81> oCean_ its a brand new drive do you think i should use a live cd and reformat it?
[15:50] <farhad_hf> |nvidia
[15:51] <scunizi> lighttitan: I had to uninstall 173 & 177 drivers from the system before installing the binary blob from nvidia.. otherwise I ended up with similar issues..
[15:51] <Kimi> !dialup
[15:51] <Chousuke> ActionParsnip: I know it stands for Advanced packaging tool, I'm just telling you the "tool" part doesn't mean what it usually is taken to mean.
[15:51] <oCean_> vallhalla81: well, the formatting can be done in Ubuntu as well
[15:51] <lighttitan> AH... I will try that then/ Thanks scunizi
[15:51] <scunizi> lighttitan: also nvidia-settings needs to go
[15:51] <Exsaura> Ever since my computer was upgraded in terms of ram, my computer had started jamming.
[15:51] <farhad_hf> i used this howto ^ , and the Xorg didnt start again : http://pastebin.com/f5d44ea0c
[15:51] <vallhalla81> oCean_ yes but gparted couldent detect it in ubuntu
[15:51] <oCean_> vallhalla81: you just have to find the device. Does /dev/hdb exist?
[15:51] <mashman> ok Kimi thanks
[15:51] <lighttitan> ok thanks scunizi
[15:51] <vallhalla81> oCean_ checking
[15:52] <lighttitan> scunizi, "mark for complete removal" correct?
[15:52] <farhad_hf> !nvidia
[15:52] <scunizi> lighttitan: yes
[15:52] <datta> can anyone pleae tell me why my ubuntu is not updating
[15:52] <oCean_> vallhalla81: Indeed. That's the weird part. I think that there is no /dev/hdb, otherwise "fdisk -l" or gparted would have shown it
[15:52] <datta> it says that there is something worng with the link
[15:52] <branescan> whats up guys... anyone here have issues installing nvidia drivers with sli setup?  after i activate the release 177 gnome wont start...
[15:52] <perlsyntax> how do i compile python 2.5.4 on ubuntu
[15:52] <jvai> i can't play dvd's on hardy anymore, totem gstreamer nor xine backend, even mplayer gives up the error, what other plugin would i need?
[15:52] <Kimi> mashman boot in ubuntu then... now you got a link for dialup net
[15:53] <lighttitan> scunizi, k thanks again. Going to work on it more

[15:54] <oCean_> vallhalla81: any helpful information in "dmesg | grep hd" output?
[15:54] <ziggytob> hi everyone
[15:54] <gnubee> Hello all.  My first time posting on here.  I have just purchased about a month ago a new Lithium ion battery for my ZD8000 pavilion laptop. It has been working great....till last night. Suddenly my laptop will not run on battery. The second I unplug my computer shuts down. I don't know if there is anything in the os Ubuntu 8.10 that would block using the battery or not. It is showing 100% charge and I checked my power options....Eve
[15:54] <gnubee> rything seems to be normal. Is this a hardware issue, or perhaps a bug?
[15:54] <farhad_hf> Flare-laptop: yes , i see , but how can i solve this problem?
[15:54] <datta> can anyone pleae help me i just changed something to make my computer update to 8.10 for 8.04 and now nothing is updating and the add or remove program does not work
[15:55] <branescan> i have been screwing with this for 3 days... every time i reinstall and do something different to try to get them to work
[15:55] <Flare-laptop> farhad_hf: you have to install the kernel module
[15:55] <vallhalla81> oCean_ [   24.532686] vboxdrv: Trying to deactivate the NMI watchdog permanently...
[15:55] <dmounce> How can I adjust only the vertical speed of my trackpad/mouse?  I'd assume it's just an Xorg setting?
[15:55] <farhad_hf> Flare-laptop: u mean nvidia-kernel-common?
[15:55] <farhad_hf> i have it
[15:55] <ziggytob> does anyone know about vmware runing in ubuntu 8.10 i am having a problem getting it up
[15:55] <Flare-laptop> farhad_hf: idk
[15:55] <sebsebseb> ziggytob: which vmware?
[15:55] <Zzeiss> gnubee:  It's entirely possible that you have a failed battery.  I've had 'em.  If the battery open-circuits, it will show as fully charged, yet has no power whatsoever.
[15:55] <Geek`N`Proud> emma: think of that channel as being like openbsd ;)
[15:55] <oCean_> vallhalla81: ok, that's not relevant
[15:56] <farhad_hf> and lsmod | grep nvidia gives me nothing
[15:56] <Zzeiss> gnubee: do you have a voltmeter to check it with?
[15:56] <vallhalla81> oCean_ i didnt think so
[15:56] <ziggytob> im not sure which one to use
[15:56] <DDrKPssNgR> is there any way to change the default speller-check for gtk apps?
[15:56] <digifor> I have downloaded some unusual ttf-fonts called "Apocalyse Now.ttf" Where should I put them so I can use them.
[15:56] <oCean_> vallhalla81: Also see "sudo lshw -C disk" <-- should give detailed disk info
[15:56] <dinesh_> i tried lspci command but unable to know which wireless card i have
[15:56] <Geek`N`Proud> emma: maybe you could post it on Ubuntu questions and see if it is appropriate behaviour or not that way
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> dinesh_: use pastebin to show the entire output
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> !paste | dinesh_
[15:57] <digifor> I have a strange vision of a T-shirt with "Virtualisation Now!" on it! (perhaps living in Cambodia does that to you!)
[15:57] <gionnico_> hi! i have a nokia n70 how can i see it in ubuntu hardy? i have installed gnome-obex-vfs and the data-server but i cant see it under "places"
[15:57] <gnubee> Zseiss, Thanks.  This is not good news,  150clams.  Yes I could have it checked.
[15:57] <Zzeiss> gnubee: Easy enough to check it yourself.  Do you have a voltmeter?
[15:57] <datta> can anyone please please help me please i dont get it
[15:57] <vallhalla81>  oCean_ it only shows my main drive and dvd drive i am going to shut down and re check it all brb
[15:57] <gnubee> Yes I have one
[15:57] <dinesh_> ActionParsnip:actually i am working in windows bcoz i am unable to connect to wireless in ubuntu
[15:57] <oCean_> vallhalla81: yes, ok
[15:58] <Zzeiss> gnubee: (matter of fact, the most recent one I had fail was about 4 months old, on a Yaesu ham radio.
[15:58] <farhad_hf> how can i install nvidia kernel modules?
[15:58] <gionnico_> i dont want bluetooth, just usb-cable connection.
[15:58] <Zzeiss> gnubee: that's what I'd check then.  If it shows as low volts (under 2/3 of nominal) it's gone forever.
[15:58] <sebsebseb> !wireless |  dinesh_
[15:58] <dinesh_> ActionParsnip:actually i am working in windows bcoz i am unable to connect to wireless in ubuntu
[15:59] <ziggytob> i love ubuntu
[15:59] <ziggytob> and red hat
[15:59] <ziggytob> fedora
[15:59] <sebsebseb> ziggytob:  if you got VMware player or server, both aren't that good,   use Virtualbox instead :)
[15:59] <dinesh_> sebsebseb:yes wireless
[15:59] <ziggytob> i use it
[15:59] <Zzeiss> Anybody know where their init.d or equivalent scripts are?  The upstart web page is *wrong* - there is no such directory.
[15:59] <gnubee> Zzeiss, Thank god it's still under warranty.   I will check it later.
[15:59] <ziggytob> it works
[15:59] <ziggytob> but
[15:59] <oCean_> !enter | ziggytob
[16:00] <ziggytob> do have all the disks
[16:00] <gionnico_> anyone who uses nokia (or obex) phones with usb cable?
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> dinesh_: then output the text to a text file on the ntfs partition
[16:00] <fearful> Zzeiss, /etc/init.d
[16:00] <gionnico_> how can i see it in ubuntu hardy? i have installed gnome-obex-vfs and the data-server but i cant see it under "places"
[16:00] <ziggytob> i dont have all of the disks
[16:00] <sebsebseb> ziggytob: disks for what?
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> dinesh_: i can strongly suggest you use a wired connection to get updates and config for your wireless
[16:00] <Zzeiss> fearful: Um, sorry, I meant the Upstart scripts.  The equivalent of the rc1 through rc6 dirs...
[16:01] <dinesh_> Actionparsnip : i have to use command sudo apt-get update wl
[16:01] <fearful> Zzeiss, /etc/init.d are the startup scripts.
[16:02] <Sandip> hi all..i have a dual boot system running with ubuntu hardy and windows
[16:02] <dinesh_> ActionParsnip: is i am right
[16:02] <Sandip> i now want to reinstall ubuntu
[16:02] <ziggytob> sorry my question is about vmware running in ubuntu 8.10 i got to the point of  it asking me which directory did i want to use
[16:02] <CheBuzz_Home_> I just installed intrepid ibex on my computer and something odd is happening.  I have a belkin F5D7330 wireless to wired bridge and it can't seem to get past that.  I can ping everything before the bridge, and nothing after.  Every other computer works just fine.  Any ideas?
[16:02] <Sandip> intrepid
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> dinesh_: then you need a connection, use a wired connection to get full updates and you can also get whatever you need for your wifi
[16:02] <quizme> my cron jobs is not running.  does anybody know how to see the error message ?
[16:02] <mrclone> I newly installed ubuntu 8.10. If I want to format partition in gparted ntfs is gray. I can not choose that option. I,m missing something? Please help
[16:02] <arvind_khadri> Sandip, get alternate and upgrade
[16:03] <svref> Intrepid's network configuration GUI forgets all my (static route) network information every reboot! WTH?
[16:03] <arvind_khadri> !alternate | Sandip
[16:03] <epaphus> hey guys, does ubuntu format its partitions with sun-ufs ??
[16:03] <quizme> does anybody know how to debug cron jobs ?
[16:03] <sebsebseb> ziggytob: which vmware program, there are a few
[16:03] <oCean_> quizme: there are several reasons why it might fail.
[16:03] <sebsebseb> epaphus: I think that file system might be an option
[16:03] <quizme> oCean_: like what ?
[16:03] <arvind_khadri> epalm, is that a tool?
[16:03] <dinesh_> ActionParnsnip: is it not possible to get update for wireless only
[16:03] <oCean_> quizme: Is it in your user's cron? Meaning "crontab -l" shows the scheduled job?
[16:03] <dmounce> Question: How do I adjust only the vertical acceleration/speed of my mouse?
[16:04] <gionnico_> quizme: did you read the cron doc ?
[16:04] <Eimhin`> mrclone is the partition unmounted?
[16:04] <quizme> oCean_: i can run it as that user, but it wont' run as a cronjob.  :(  and i don't know where to find errors.  when i put  >&  errors  it doesn't log errors either.
[16:04] <oCean_> quizme: the entry itself can be wrong, the script might not be accessible and/or executable, or the script/command is trying to run interactively etc
[16:04] <epaphus> sebastien, hi there :) iam trying to modify the grub with the CD.. I got to the part where I select Manual Partitioning.. it shows SCSI 0,0,0 (which is the entire disk) or the second line shows #4 primary 160 GB sun-fs . Those are my only two options.
[16:04] <arvind_khadri> mrclone, unmount the partition and then format it
[16:05] <epaphus> sebsebseb
[16:05] <quizme> .
[16:05] <sebsebseb> epaphus: let's see you can have ext4,  reister, and a few others. yes I think it's probably an option
[16:05] <sebsebseb> epaphus: reiser/murderfs
[16:05] <sebsebseb> not  reister
[16:05] <datta> did anyone face problems trying to update
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> dinesh_: you could setup wifi on the wired then do the rest wirelessly, whatever. just get it connected, it'll be so much easier
[16:06] <datta> if yes did u solve it
[16:06] <datta> and how please help
[16:06] <sebsebseb> datta: up date to what?
[16:06] <oCean_> quizme: Ok. Make it look like this: "/path/to/command >> /tmp/logfile 2>&1"
[16:06] <epaphus> sebsebseb, i dont understand.. I only have a sun-fs ... is this not done by ubuntu? should I not select this one to work on?
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> datta: can you please expand
[16:06] <ziggytob> sebsebseb i am very new need help figuring out which one to use. i am running ubuntu in dual i have virtualbox but want vmware i got all the way to it acting me which directory i wanted to use
[16:06] <mrclone> Eimhin`, arvind_khadri the partion is not mounted
[16:06] <datta> i can't update my ubuntu it says some link does not work
[16:06] <sebsebseb> ziggytob: which vmware do you have?  player?  server? workstation?
[16:06] <quizme> oCean_: okay i'll try that

[16:06] <sebsebseb> !upgrade |  datta
[16:07] <Eimhin`> try doing it from a disc or usb stick
[16:07] <oCean_> quizme: Also see output of "grep -i cron /var/log/syslog"
[16:07] <ziggytob> sebsebseb it is the server i think
[16:07] <dinesh_> ActionParsnip;i think i am using  usb wireless thats why i donot get the information
[16:07] <sebsebseb> ziggytob: are you going to use it as an actasul server????
[16:07] <sebsebseb> ziggytob: are you going to do virtual machine servers?

[16:08] <datta> yeah but can't

[16:08] <sebsebseb> datta: I wonder why it is saying about ppa's unless you got one installed
[16:09] <chiara> asd

[16:09] <chiara> I'm a stupid
[16:09] <chiara> xD
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | datta
[16:09] <sebsebseb> epaphus: you got Ubuntu Live CD????
[16:09] <perlsyntax> is there a thing for my apt-get so i can update it?
[16:09] <epaphus> sebsebseb, i got the alternate cd
[16:09] <epaphus> sebsebseb, if you want I can get the live cd
[16:09] <sebsebseb> epaphus: ok well  I haven't used alternate, but on the Live CD. you could boot it up and  find out if it can access your partition.  as well as find out what partitions are availalbe in the partition editor
[16:09] <CheBuzz_Home_> Anybody have any troubleshooting steps for the wireless bridge problem?
[16:10] <sebsebseb> epaphus: partitions  availalbe I meant file systems
[16:10] <quizme> oCean_: thanks I"ll try that too.  btw, what does  the 2&>1 part mean?
[16:10] <epaphus> sebsebseb, okie.. and by live cd.. you mean the regular install cd? right?
[16:10] <sebsebseb> epaphus: yes
[16:10] <sebsebseb> epaphus: also you should md5sum the ISO before burning
[16:10] <sebsebseb> !md5sum
[16:10] <oCean_> quizme: make STDERR and STDOUT go to the mentioned logfile.
[16:10] <kaski> I am currently installing Steam on Wine
[16:11] <kaski> Is it natural for the updating to take a long time
[16:11]  * Known_problems is away: Away
[16:11] <datta> thank you i got the update for 8.10
[16:11] <datta> thank you all a lot for fixing the problem

[16:12] <Droopsta915_> I deleted my bottom panel then added it back again, now when I minimize a window it I dont know where it goes. How can I get minimized windoews to go to the bottom panel?
[16:12] <ziggytob> is there a link on ubuntu site for installing vmware in ubuntu 8.10 i want to play with the different servers
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> !vmware
[16:12] <syentifiq_> hellos I'm having some trouble with the e16 network settings
[16:12] <lighttitan> scunizi
[16:13] <scunizi> lighttitan: yep
[16:13] <lighttitan> IT WORKED!!
[16:13] <swegner> I'm having trouble resolving hostnames across my local network.  I have 2 Ubuntu machines and 1 Windows.  My Ubuntu desktop isn't able to ping either of the others by hostname, but can by IP.  The other Ubuntu laptop can see the Windows box by hostname, and vice versa, but not the Ubuntu desktop (but can ping by IP).  Any ideas?
[16:13] <lighttitan> Thank you VERY much!!
[16:13] <scunizi> lighttitan: YEA!
[16:13] <quizme> oCean_: thanks so much for your help.  I think I found the error!
[16:13] <scunizi> lighttitan: np.. :)
[16:13] <ziggytob> ubottu thanks
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> swegner: add entrys to /etc/hosts
[16:13] <oCean_> quizme: ok!
[16:13] <lighttitan> scunizi: just wanted to come back and say thanks... so thanks again! :)
[16:14] <swegner> ActionParsnip: I saw that in the forums, but I'd rather not make hard-associations by IP.  They are assigned by DHCP at the router level, and could possibly change.  Should it be detected/discovered automatically?
[16:14] <kaski> I just installed Steam under Wine
[16:14] <rapha> Hi all! I tried to change the "login" keyring password but it says permission denied ... what file needs to have permission?
[16:14] <kaski> Is there anything I should know before installing gmaes?
[16:14] <sebsebseb> kaski: yeah  what's steam again?
[16:15] <sebsebseb> kaski: also you should  check out native Linux games :)  there are some pretty good ones
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> swegner: is your router added to /etc/resolv.conf as a nameserver?
[16:15] <kaski> Steam is the client used to run Counter-strike and Half-life
[16:15] <Droopsta915_> sebsebseb:How do get my minimized windows to go to my bottom panel?
[16:15] <rapha> Oh nevermind had forgotten to enter old password ... thanks!
[16:15] <martiiin> Hello, Can anyone here give me a helping hand with the Installation of ubuntu(Partitioning)? PM me please
[16:15] <sebsebseb> kaski: I think CS has a native Linux version
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> kaski: make sure you use wine from wine repos
[16:15] <perlsyntax> is there a deb package for python 2.5.4?
[16:15] <sebsebseb> martiiin: yes of course
[16:16] <kaski> Yup I got wine set up like that
[16:16] <kaski> And it does?
[16:16] <Kimi> kaski yes
[16:16] <syentifiq_> I can't connect to my wireless network when I start an e16 session
[16:16] <swegner> ActionParsnip: ahh, it doesn't appear to be-- do you know which IP I'm going to want to use there?  The "Default Route" in the connection information dialog?
[16:16] <perlsyntax> ?
[16:16] <Eimhin`> my laptop isn't seeing my wireless card, it always has in the past, but i turn it on today and its acting like theres nothing there
[16:17] <fearful> Eimhin`, have you tried right click the network icon on the notification area and enabling wireless?
[16:17] <Kimi> !usb
[16:17] <Eimhin`> theres no wireless to enable there
[16:17] <perlsyntax> hello
[16:17] <syentifiq_> yes I have
[16:17] <fearful> Eimhin`, networking is enabled?
[16:17] <vallhalla81> ok i have my new hard drive in my system i can find it using sudo fdisk -l how can i mount it?
[16:17] <syentifiq_> but when I right click it appears wireless is already enabled
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> swegner: its the internal ip of your router
[16:18] <fearful> vallhalla81, look at the part where it says /dev/sda1 or amongst those lines
[16:18] <swegner> ActionParsnip: ok thanks, I'll give it a try
[16:18] <Eimhin`> enabled where?
[16:18] <fearful> Eimhin`, in the network icon on the notification area
[16:19] <Eimhin`> yeah, it is
[16:19] <Droopsta915> I got it. It was a window selector tool
[16:19] <fearful> Eimhin`, run in a terminal sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> vallhalla81: sudo mount /dev/<name> /mount/point
[16:19] <vallhalla81> fearful: yes then what do i do?
[16:20] <Eimhin`> done
[16:20] <Eimhin`> no change
[16:20] <fearful> vallhalla81, what ActionParsnip mount point is usually in the /media so something like sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/disk
[16:20] <Dillizar> why only vlc is working! since i update to NEW GOOD GSTREAMERS doesnt seem to work
[16:20] <Eimhin`> brb
[16:20] <vallhalla81> ActionParsnip: do i have to make a mount point or is there one i need to find?
[16:20] <fearful> Eimhin`, restart x server
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> vallhalla81: you need to make an empty folder
[16:20] <fearful> vallhalla81, read my above post
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> vallhalla81: yu can make it ANYWHERE except in /proc
[16:20] <vallhalla81> ActionParsnip: okies thank you
[16:21] <vallhalla81> fearful: thank you too
[16:21] <KoolD> eimhin:what does iwconfig give?
[16:21] <militant> anyone use gallery2?  looking for a way to make an album unlisted, but still accessible, so not everyone who sees my page will know it's there...
[16:21] <fearful> vallhalla81, no problem
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> !info gallery2
[16:22] <dinesh_> ubuntu is better or fedora
[16:22] <scunizi> dinesh_: this is not the place for that kind of question.. #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> dinesh_: its a personal opinion, so the answer is "neither and both"
[16:22] <bazhang> dinesh_, please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[16:22] <Cpudan80> dinesh_: depends on what you want, not on topic here though
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> dinesh_: there is no definitive answer as better is a comparison of the systems functionality compared to needs, and every users needs are different
[16:23] <kudi> i just did an ubuntu mini install with fluxbox...im pretty happy with everything right now im just wondering what i should use to handle icons and gtk themes
[16:23] <massie> hi need help formatting a 2nd HD in ubuntu and then enabling it to read/write
[16:24] <Dillizar> why only vlc is working! since i update to NEW GOOD GSTREAMERS doesnt seem to work how can i fix it
[16:24] <dkkong> My X11 is screwy this morning. It's got a 0hz refresh rate and I can't select higher. I just have a generic onboard Intel graphics system. What can I do?
[16:24] <cellofellow> How would I go about building the libasound2-plugins package? The default build doesn't include the JACK plugins, so I did apt-get build-dep and apt-get source on libasound2-plugins, but now how do I compile it? I'm assuming it's more complicated than ./configure; make; make install.
[16:24] <vallhalla81> ActionParsnip: i tryed that and got this result
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> kudi: idesk will give desktopp icons
[16:24] <kudi> massie: gparted
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> kudi: fluxbox doesnt use gtk themes
[16:24] <dinesh_> but i have heard from a fedora irc chat that fedora is better than ubuntu and they strongly advised me to switch to fedora is it true they even tld me that linus torvalds also uses fedora
[16:24] <vallhalla81> ActionParsnip:  sudo mount /dev/sdb/media/sdb
[16:24] <vallhalla81> mount: can't find /dev/sdb/media/sdb in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[16:25] <massie> kudi how do i launch gparted
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> dinesh_: better doesnt exist
[16:25] <bazhang> dinesh_, please stop
[16:25] <bazhang> dinesh_, that is offtopic here
[16:25] <TheMaestro> hi all..i have a dual boot with windows and ubuntu 8.04. I want to reinstall ubuntu intrepid with a bigger partition...and i have the 8.10 live cd. How should i go about it?
[16:25] <fearful> vallhalla81, sudo mount /dev/sdb /media/sdb*
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> vallhalla81: sudo mkdir /media/sdb; sudo mount /dev/sdb /media/sdb
[16:25] <dinesh_> i am extremely sorry
[16:25] <fearful> vallhalla81, you need a space
[16:25] <kudi> ActionParsnip:  i forgot how i was able to do this with openbox with archlinux...all my programs like pidgin look ugly and im not sure how to go about it
[16:25] <fearful> ActionParsnip, vallhalla81 when mounting it should create the folder
[16:26] <kudi> massie: sudo apt-get install gparted
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> dinesh_: if you try it and yu prefer it then use it as its better to you. I dont like it personally, there is no  best or better
[16:26] <kudi> massie: if its not in the menue: sudo gparted
[16:26] <massie> k
[16:26] <massie> ty
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> dinesh_: its not clean cut. its like asking what beer is BEST
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> dinesh_: its a nonesensical question
[16:26] <dinesh_> ActionParnsnip: sorry but as i am newbie i got confused by fedora people
[16:26] <vallhalla81> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> dinesh_: i'd say try it and evaluate it yourself
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> vallhalla81: what file system is the partition?
[16:27] <vallhalla81> not sure its a brand new drive
[16:27] <oCean_> vallhalla81: So the system found the filesystem? And it's not IDE?
[16:27] <fearful> vallhalla81, it should be; ext3, ext2, ntfs, fat32
[16:27] <oCean_> vallhalla81: because /dev/sd* drives are SCSI drives
[16:27] <vallhalla81> oCean_: i am not sure
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> vallhalla81: the fdisk output will tell you, or you could format it yourself
[16:27] <oCean_> vallhalla81: Anyway, your system has to recognize the hardware BEFORE you try anything else
[16:28] <vallhalla81> cd
[16:28] <oCean_> vallhalla81: so if the new disk still does not show up in lshw, you will not be able to create a partition
[16:28] <zmax> hi
[16:28] <vallhalla81> ActionParsnip: oCean_: found it it just needs formating ty
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> vallhalla81: have fun
[16:29] <zmax> why I'm make cache on the ubuntu
[16:29] <zmax> ?
[16:30] <ActionParsnip> zmax: can you rephrase please
[16:30] <cellofellow> How would I go about building the libasound2-plugins package?

[16:32] <ziggytob>  i have the same problem and want to fix my boot up menu
[16:32] <militant> TheMaestro if you don't have files you need to save from your old install, just burn a new disk and point the installer at the right partition.  it'll mkfs.ext3 and all that goodness for ya, and set you up witha  fresh install
[16:32] <clcxxxx> just direct install newest version

[16:36] <Rubberducky> user___, hi
[16:36] <hjbolide2> mrclone: ok?
[16:36] <Rubberducky> user___, yeah, any idea how to fix it?
[16:36] <militant> TheMaestro  if you don't need to save files from yoru old linux install, it'll be fine.   not sure about the resizing partitions without destroying your windows install, but that's because i don't dualboot.  i'm pretty sure expand/resize options have existed in the installer for a bit now

[16:40] <epaphus> sebsebseb, where shall I go now? within the live cd
[16:40] <Rubberducky> user___, do you have any clue?
[16:40] <sebsebseb> epaphus: you booted it up tried ubuntu?
[16:40] <user___> Rubberducky: not really, btw just found your net-post from dec 2008
[16:40] <sebsebseb> epaphus: did you md5sum?
[16:40] <sebsebseb> !md5sum
[16:40] <sebsebseb> the ISO?
[16:40] <Rubberducky> user___, net-post from 2008?
[16:41] <epaphus> sebsebseb, i booted it from the live cd... but i dont know where to change the grub..
[16:41] <user___> Rubberducky: sorry, i mixed join date and post date
[16:41] <sebsebseb> epaphus: I guess not, well you can later from inside Ubuntu
[16:41] <epaphus> sebsebseb, fine ill do the md5sum :)
[16:41] <Rubberducky> user___, ah, i posted that a few days ago
[16:41] <sebsebseb> epaphus: what about grub?
[16:41] <sebsebseb> epaphus: I thought you wanted to know if you could do sun  partitions?
[16:41] <Rubberducky> user___, it's really annoying...
[16:43] <user___> Rubberducky: it could have something to do with "fortify" (wild guess from the log). just check google: wiki fortify, learn a bit about how that fortify components interacts with the rest of the system. good luck! :-)
[16:43] <Ndshacker> guys I figured it out, its cause I added an invalid source to my list
[16:43] <Rubberducky> user___, damn...
[16:43] <Rubberducky> user___, that source thing is soo buggy
[16:43] <epaphus> sebsebseb, no. :)  I messed up the partition table.. and you said I should get the Ubuntu live cd to troubleshoot grub... and see if I can get my data back.
[16:43] <quizme> when does /tmp get cleaned out?  Does it get cleaned out automatically sometimes ?
[16:43] <Rubberducky> user___, i've had to overcome 2 bugs already
[16:43] <sebsebseb> epaphus: oh
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> quizme: it gets cleaned at reboot
[16:44] <sebsebseb> epaphus: ok I misunderstood, or you told me that hte other day or something
[16:44] <epaphus> sebsebseb, yup.. we spoke yesterday :)
[16:44] <sebsebseb> epaphus: I don't know enough about partition tables etc.   try the geeks in #linux
[16:44] <ema92> hello everybody. I just finished to configure my fingerprint reader with pam_fprint. Does someone know how to integrate it with KDM and sudo utility?
[16:45] <quizme> ActionParsnip: oh.  otherwise you have to clean it up with a script yourself??
[16:45] <user___> Rubberducky: the firmware source and/or fortify? (i feel this is advanced stuff, so..)

[16:45] <ActionParsnip> quizme: erm not sure
[16:45] <Rubberducky> user___, i should find another mipsel crosscompiler probably
[16:45] <Rubberducky> user___, man, i don't want to risk flashing my router with the wrong firmware
[16:45] <sebsebseb> epaphus: if you can add your partition back to a new table though
[16:46] <imaginativeone__> why does my dvd drive become un-open-able?
[16:46] <sebsebseb> epaphus: then you should be able to access, but doing that is pretty tricky I belive
[16:46] <sebsebseb> epaphus: it has to all be exact
[16:46] <epaphus> erUSUL, could I install that on the live CD? or I need to slave the hard disk?
[16:46] <epaphus> sebsebseb, well.. my partition table was done with the defaults in the ubuntu installer... only that it was encrypted with the alternate cd
[16:46] <user___> Rubberducky: +1
[16:46] <erUSUL> epaphus: you can install them on the livecd if you need to recovera partition table
[16:46] <LakesProse> I want to check the size of my OS (which I intend to copy with dd on another hard drive to use in another computer) but I don't want 'du' to check /media folder because there are other mounted hdd there
[16:47] <sebsebseb> epaphus: ok well any partitions  in  partition editor?  system > administaration > partition editor
[16:47] <epaphus> erUSUL, and I need those to know if I actually still have the partitions intact.. right?
[16:47] <epaphus> sebsebseb, let me check
[16:47] <erUSUL> LakesProse: df -h
[16:47] <erUSUL> epaphus: not those recover lost partition tables to check how are your partitions use fdisk or parted
[16:47] <LakesProse> erUSUL: but won't that also check /media directory ?

[16:49] <epaphus> erUSUL, sebsebseb ... i went to gparted (system-administration- partition info) .. and it shows /dev/sda4 with size of 149gb, a boot flag, and it says unknown filesystem...
[16:49] <icqnumber> i have created a folder /media/iso, is there any way to mount an image file without using "sudo"?
[16:49] <epaphus> is that good or bad?
[16:50] <erUSUL> LakesProse: for the third time "df -h" gives that information in one of the lines it outputs.

[16:51] <sebsebseb> epaphus: I never used the alternate CD, for encryption, how did it work anyway?
[16:51] <sebsebseb> epaphus:  how would you access a encrypted partition? with a password?
[16:52] <massie> can someone just tell me how i can tell my 2nd HD to allow me, the user, to copy and paste or read/write back and forth

[17:19] <user___> massie: thats part of the learning process :-) sebsebseb gave you the best link one could give you.

[17:19] <ActionParsnip> massie: it will then be running with sudo and you can write as you wish
[17:19] <sebsebseb> massie: yep that, but be careful not to delete part of your system if doing that.  then just right cilck on the thing and go to permissions and change them
[17:19] <ActionParsnip> massie: try to keep its use to a minimum
[17:20] <usr13> LakesProse: Well, don't take my word for it, because I'm not really sure.  There were other circumstances, one bing wired vs wifi...
[17:20] <macd> massie, there are also gnome right click menau extensions (scripts) that you can import for easier operations like that, look for nautilus-scripts
[17:20] <dbdii407> When i click on the windows in xUbuntu, they will not pop out. (I was told to come here)
[17:20] <massie> ok. well, i changed my permissions and such in nautilus
[17:20] <massie> so do i now reboot to ensure those changes were made
[17:20] <massie> ?
[17:20] <computerMoney> ActionParsnip: Thank you. It is the top screen panel containing applications menu, clock, etc.

[17:20] <sebsebseb> massie: ha ha no, this is not Windows
[17:20] <sebsebseb> massie: you only re boot for major changes such as a new kernel
[17:20] <ActionParsnip> computerMoney: i dont use gnome so i cant really advise
[17:20] <usr13> LakesProse:  But the process worked.
[17:21] <computerMoney> ActionParsnip: Thank you anyway.
[17:21] <RalphSpencer> I guess its Dwell Click which is causing all that trouble to me...

[17:22] <computerMoney> f11 is a temp. solution

[17:22] <ActionParsnip> massie: just use sudo chwon -R or  sudo chmod -R  to assign permissions
[17:22] <LakesProse> usr13: if I am to use nfs though (it's only 2.5GB), can I just dd if=/dev/sdc1 of=/media/temp/system.iso and then just transfer it over nfs via . On the second machine, I'd just dd if=system.iso of=/dev/sda1 ?

[17:24] <wintellect> I booted into xubuntu and tried to fsck it, but I only get told that the superblock is corrupt - any suggestions?#
[17:24] <massie> sebsebseb - but when i try to copy/paste anything, no such luck allowing it. it's owned by root apparently

[17:24] <macd> massie, terminal, chown -R yourname:yourname /mountpoint
[17:24] <bardyr> LakesProse, you will override the partition table, and if the other harddrive is not the same size things may break or the harddrive will be limited to the other
[17:24] <RalphSpencer> Hello, I remember doing something in panel setup but after doing many things and shutting down, I notice that the pointer gets kinda filled with some Ubuntu color and then it turns into a '+' sign. When I move the '+'ish pointer, it draws a line from the point it was to the point where it is present now and selects everything in that area... Please help.. Thats really annoying ant time consuming.
[17:24] <ActionParsnip> RalphSpencer: have you asked a question?
[17:24] <usr13> LakesProse: NP
[17:24] <computerMoney> RalphSpencer: Only so many people to help, be polite but persistent, if someone knows answer they'll help.

[17:29] <ubuntistas> gnomad2-2.9.4.tar.gz how can i install this type of file?
[17:29] <computerMoney> dn: compiz?
[17:29] <computerMoney> dn: including a link to bug report
[17:29] <tsrk> computerMoney - if you have one open and resize it and close it, it should be that size when you reopen it
[17:29] <tsrk> compubomb - is it not?
[17:30] <uriel_> ?? partition recovery
[17:30] <computerMoney> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/327074
[17:30] <dn> it's a known bug computerMoney. i'll get a link to the fix now
[17:30] <usr13> ubuntistas: Open a terminal window, cd to the directory where gnomad2-2.9.4.tar.gz is and then execute command: tar zxvf gnomad2-2.9.4.tar.gz
[17:30] <lunamo> nobody use ultimate edition 2.1?
[17:30] <jtaji> !ultimate | lunamo
[17:31] <computerMoney> dn: much much apprec.
[17:31] <computerMoney> tsrk: it isn't a size issue per se
[17:31] <zelda> its not the size that counts, its how you use it :)
[17:31] <tsrk> computerMoney - oh, i'm not sure i understand the problem, could you explain more?
[17:31] <ubuntistas> usr13 i did that how can i install it now?
[17:32] <usr13> ubuntistas: Well, what is it?
[17:32] <dn> http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/11/howto-fix-firefox-taking-up-whole.html
[17:32] <computerMoney> tsrk: Sure. When firefox opens the gnome panel (containing applications, places, system menus, the clock etc.) disappears due to firefox becoming full-screen.
[17:32] <dn> if anybody could help me get my resolution back to normal that would be great ;)
[17:32] <tsrk> computerMoney - yeah, isn't that just the issue of it being too big?
[17:33] <ubuntistas> usr13 it is showing me a file of the original i just supposed extracted it  how can i install it?
[17:33] <tsrk> computerMoney - or is it actually set to full screen?
[17:33] <dn> tsrk: no it's a known bug where firefox starts in a sort of fullscreen mode. you know how when you hit F11 in firefox it fullscreens?
[17:33] <usr13> ubuntistas: You should just use the package manager.
[17:33] <tsrk> computerMoney - when it's like that for me it's just so big that the window border (including title bar) is off the screen
[17:33] <bullgard4> I added in /etc/samba/smb.conf a line: "log level = 3". But why does the command "~$ smbclient \\\\MD97600\\freigegebenMD -U <password> -W MSHOME" issued on computer T42 in the same LAN still not reflect in /var/log/samba/log.t42?
[17:33] <zelda> how do you stop firefox from taking up the whole desktop and not being able to close the window unless you hit alt-f4?
[17:33] <tsrk> dn - i have a problem like that sometimes but it
[17:33] <dn> zelda: http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/11/howto-fix-firefox-taking-up-whole.html
[17:33] <computerMoney> dn: is your resolution all bloated?
[17:33] <ubuntistas> usr13 why?
[17:34] <tsrk> dn - i have a problem like that sometimes but it's usually caused by some weird javascript making it too big
[17:34] <usr13> ubuntistas: If you want to do it via CLI, just issue command:  apt-get insall gnomad2
[17:34] <zelda> dn: thanks.
[17:34] <pvtpete> hi there
[17:34] <dn> bloated? i don't know what that means. it's too low. all of a sudden today it started being 1024x768
[17:34] <zelda> I saw that link a min ago. didnt know what it was for.
[17:34] <pvtpete> I'm having some problems setting up ssh
[17:34] <pvtpete> can anyone help ? :)
[17:34] <Agion> ...
[17:34] <dn> tsrk: this bug starts when you open firefox, regardless of the page you load. it's a known intrepid bug
[17:34] <Agion> not then...
[17:34] <usr13> ubuntistas: No reason... if you want to compile from source, just CD to the resulting directory and then do ./configure   make   make install
[17:34] <Agion> thanks for nothing..
[17:34] <jtheuer> Hi, is there a recommended way to debug acpi sleep issues if it was working once, but now will faile (maybe because of a kernel update)?
[17:34] <usr13> ubuntistas: But first, make sure you have kernel sources installed.
[17:35] <[DarkSun]> ok, ill try asking a 3rd time....
[17:35] <[DarkSun]> im trying to install ubuntu on my sunblade2000 and the install cd doesnt seem to want to lot me set the partition /dev/sda2 as anything except a LVM, any ideas, or any way to load the lvm-mod(it aparently is not included)???
[17:35] <tsrk> dn - ok, it must be something different than i'm experiencing, although it sounds somewhat similar
[17:35] <ubuntistas> explain usr13 i don't get
[17:35] <computerMoney> dn: have you checked xorg.conf?
[17:36] <aquachica> Hi. I am new to Ubuntu and having a bit of a challenge installing non-Microsoft Truetype Fonts. I have already loaded all of the free MS Fonts, like Arial and Times Roman. I wanted to add other truetype fonts that I use on Windows.
[17:36] <dn> yea i've reset it, deleted it, used nvidia-xconfig etc.
[17:36] <dn> still can't get 1280x768
[17:36] <usr13> ubuntistas: In other words, install build-essential  before trying to compile from source.
[17:36] <Eimhin`> My wireless card isn't being recognized, it has in the past but it stopped working today, networking is enabled and i have tried restarting the X server
[17:36] <usser> aquachica, how did u install them? sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
[17:37] <aspoor> For all WiFi adapters use compat.
[17:37] <usr13> ubuntistas: The easiest way to intall the package you want (or any package for that manor) is via the package manager.
[17:37] <aquachica> I have tried using placing the fonts in the /usr/share/fonts folder and executing the fc-cache -f -v command.
[17:37] <sebsebseb> aquachica: I think you can copy them straight in from Windows and put in the .fonts hidden folder
[17:37] <ubuntistas> yeh usr13 but it has not the latest version and i have problem with the previous
[17:37] <usr13> ubuntistas: synaptic package manager  or apt-get
[17:38] <usser> aquachica, just copy the fonts that you want to use from windows/fonts to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts
[17:38] <aquachica> I tried placing in there as well, but Open Office does not see them.
[17:38] <computerMoney> dn: when I had this problem my alterations to the file actually prompted a manual override that allowed me to pick my resolution.
[17:39] <usr13> ubuntistas: Ok, then by all means, compile from source.  No problem.  But first you'll need build-essential  So do: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[17:39] <Eimhin`> My wireless card isn't being recognized, it has in the past but it stopped working today, networking is enabled and i have tried restarting the X server

[17:39] <XeNiX> who can help ?
[17:40] <sebsebseb> usr13: do you by any chance know how to get asterisk working in Ubuntu?   the  Ubuntu  Deb  didn't seem to work, because it  asks if something is there, that is.  and  trying to compile from tar.gz was horrible.   this is for someone else by the way not me, but I have been trying to help him
[17:40] <second_thought> I I got a major problem T_T
[17:40] <second_thought> I just hosed my desktop setup
[17:40] <second_thought> I ran gnomes screen manager
[17:40] <ubuntistas> usr13 i have already installed it
[17:40] <second_thought> "resolution"
[17:40] <ubuntistas> then?
[17:40] <usr13> sebsebseb: What ever it asked for, install it.
[17:40] <usr13> sebsebseb: What wasn't there?
[17:41] <second_thought> gnome-panel is no where to be found
[17:41] <nital> hello
[17:41] <second_thought> Does any have some experience with this?
[17:41] <XeNiX> who can help me to fix this error on apt-get E: Couldn't configure pre-depend libc6 for findutils, probably a dependency cycle.
[17:41] <XeNiX> ?
[17:41] <sebsebseb> usr13: i'll get the pastebins to you or something, in pm.   this guy will be nagging me on Monday probably to help him get working, if I haven't figured it out by then.
[17:41] <Trijntje> is it possible to have bootchart monitor the login process instead of the boot?
[17:41] <nital> how do I make aptitude search to search given string in package *descriptions*, not names?
[17:41] <ubuntistas> usr13 how can i compile it and install dude explain
[17:41] <computerMoney> What is metacity
[17:41] <computerMoney> ?
[17:41] <Besogon> aquachica, apt get install msttcorefonts
[17:42] <zaccour> i switched from xfce to ubuntu desktop, how do i also change the bootupp and the login? i just want it to all match
[17:42] <Trijntje> computerMoney: the default window manager (border)
[17:42] <nital> or maybe there is another way than using "aptitude search"
[17:42] <usr13> sebsebseb: Have you looked at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AsteriskScriptOnHardy
[17:42] <aquachica> I did get the msttcorefonts.
[17:42] <computerMoney> trijntje: is it an alternative to compiz?
[17:42] <sebsebseb> usr13: he is on 8.10
[17:42] <zelda> yes.
[17:42] <usr13> ubuntistas: did you unpack the tarball yet?
[17:42] <aquachica> I am now installing one font into the msttcorefonts folder to see if it works.
[17:42] <zelda> like beryl
[17:42] <sabalord> does anyone know a good lampp tutorial?
[17:42] <Besogon> aquachica, and what do you want?
[17:42] <hmw> When I double click a window title bar, it gets resized to show only the title bar. I can't find the setting, where can I switch back to get the window maximized on double clicking the title bar?
[17:42] <computerMoney> zelda: how would I replace compiz with this?
[17:43] <ubuntistas> yes usr13
[17:43] <aquachica> I have other Truetype fonts that I wanted to use, that I use in Windows.
[17:43] <zelda> you cant really. But you can tell compiz to use metacity
[17:43] <Eimhin`> My wireless card isn't being recognized, it has in the past but it stopped working today, networking is enabled and i have tried restarting the X server
[17:43] <zelda> download the CCSM.
[17:43] <zaccour> i switched from xfce to ubuntu desktop, how do i also change the bootupp and the login? i just want it to all match
[17:43] <Trijntje> computerMoney: not realy, you can also set compiz to use metacity. Metacity is only for the border and top of windows, where you can press close etc. Compiz offers a lot of eyecandy, like cube etc
[17:43] <zelda> or the compiz-fuzion icon manager
[17:44] <usr13> ubuntistas: cd to the resulting directory and read the README and / or INSTALL files.  i.e.  less README  less INSTALL
[17:44] <sebsebseb> usr13: that's also for hardy server,  he is on 8.10 desktop edition
[17:44] <bullgard4> I added in /etc/samba/smb.conf a line: "log level = 3". But why does the command "~$ smbclient \\\\MD97600\\freigegebenMD -U <password> -W MSHOME" issued on computer T42 in the same LAN still not reflect in /var/log/samba/log.t42?
[17:44] <Trijntje> is it possible to have bootchart monitor the login process instead of the boot?
[17:45] <aquachica> Usser, I added a font to the /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts folder, and used the fc-cache -f -v command.  However, the fold is not visible in Open Office.
[17:45] <Besogon> aquachica, What kind of font did you use?
[17:45] <militant> so why is firefox so ugly/slow in ubuntu compared to winodws?  i do text zoom on just about every page i use, and it does UGLY things
[17:45] <aquachica> I used Truetype fonts in Windows.
[17:46] <zaccour> i switched from xfce to ubuntu desktop, how do i also change the bootupp and the login? i just want it to all match
[17:46] <ubuntistas> usr13 any clue?
[17:46] <bobbob1016> computerMoney, Better to call compiz an alternative to metacity, but just semantics.
[17:47] <aquachica> The fonts I used on Windows were Truetype fonts that I downloaded from various sites.
[17:47] <bullgard4> Trijntje: I believe that this is only possibly by substantially changing the source code and recompiling.
[17:47] <usr13> ubuntistas: clue to what?
[17:47] <Besogon> aquachica, copy fonts from Windows in ~/.fonts
[17:47] <ubuntu__> hi ppl. i had a big problem, when i start my ubuntu i went to a memory test which dont have end, it restarts the test. and i cant access my ubuntu. now i'm on live cd. yesterday i remove all linux-image packages i had in /lib/modules directory, i think that is the origin of the problem. now, i'm on live cd, how do i solve this problem? it's possible to recover my old system?
[17:47] <aquachica> ~/.fonts does not exist.
[17:47] <bullgard4> s/possibly/possible
[17:47] <zelda> from your windows?
[17:47] <ubuntistas> i don't get the readme or install
[17:48] <Besogon> aquachica, mkdir ~/.fonts What else?
[17:48] <computerMoney> bobbob1016: thank you. I have an obnoxious compiz issue regarding firefox that i can't resolve.
[17:48] <ubuntistas> how can i configure usr13 and then compile?
[17:48] <computerMoney> bobbob1016: turns full screen when I open it, any ideas?
[17:48] <zelda> LOL
[17:48] <zaccour> is this a bad day  to ask for help or is my question just not important enough?
[17:48] <zelda> computerMonkey, thats the 3x today.
[17:48] <zelda> er computerMoney
[17:48] <zaccour> maybe ill ask in ubuntu-off topic for this on topic issue
[17:48] <computerMoney> zelda: no, it's the fifth
[17:49] <computerMoney> zelda: 'cause it ain't gettin' fixed.
[17:49] <zelda> computerMoney: Yea its annoying
[17:49] <aquachica> I copied the fonts over.
[17:49] <computerMoney> zelda: when ubuntu's working properly I am so happy I have it
[17:49] <usr13> ubuntistas: The are text files that tell you about the package and how to install it.  You should read them and then proceed with the install as per instructed.  But basically,  you are going to need to issud [probably] 3 commands 1) ./configure  2) make 3) sudo make install
[17:49] <computerMoney> zelda: too bad that's about 50% of the time
[17:50] <zaccour> forget this ill just look elsewheree
[17:50] <kudi> i dont know what i did but i lost the fluxbox panel...how do i get it back?
[17:50] <Besogon> aquachica, OR you just dont see hidden directory, huh? Do Ctrl +H in your home dir when you in nautilus
[17:50] <vjacob> hello all. has someone here noticed that java on an eeepc Asus1000H (x86) can be really really slow when running something like JabRef (even with IBM's jre)?
[17:50] <zelda> computerMoney: yeah. most the time it works for me. Thats so dumb.
[17:50] <hmw> !ubottu ask | zaccour
[17:51] <Doeman> Hey guys i reinstalled windows and now my grub is gone. With my old pc i simply used the SUPER Grub disk and fixed it with that. Now, however for some reason i dont get the super grub disk menu and i go directly to some command line version. I dont know what to do, any ideas? Thanks
[17:51] <bobbob1016> computerMoney, I don't have the issue, so I don't know.  Maybe the "fullscreen windows" option in ccsm, not sure though
[17:51] <computerMoney> bobbob1016: good thinking

[17:52] <hmw> Doeman: it's quite easy, also from command line. I am looking into it and might be able to help... stand by
[17:52] <usr13> ubuntistas: The README and INSTALL files are text files that tell you about the package and how to install it.  You should read them and then proceed with the install as per instructed.

[17:52] <crischan> i am running 9.04 - how do i get to know which video driver my X server is running?
[17:53] <paulo39> hi ppl. i had a big problem, when i start my ubuntu i went to a memory test which dont have end, it restarts the test. and i cant access my ubuntu. now i'm on live cd. yesterday i remove all linux-image packages i had in /lib/modules directory, i think that is the origin of the problem. now, i'm on live cd, how do i solve this problem? it's possible to recover my old system?
[17:53] <aquachica> I have used the fc-cache -f -v command, but Office still does not see the font.
[17:53] <zelda> wont hardware drivers tell you that
[17:53] <zelda> ?
[17:53] <aquachica> I am on Ubuntu 8.10.
[17:54] <Besogon> aquachica, reboot.
[17:54] <aquachica> ok

[17:54] <dr3w_> hey guys i just removed xine via synaptic... and now i cant load into x11 gnome interface,  x11 starts ok if i run startx but i think i accidently removed all the gnome components
[17:54] <computerMoney> zelda: thank you, where do I find this file to modify?
[17:54] <hmw> paulo39: sounds like you successfully killed your system. You might be lucky with copying the files from your live system back to the hard drive, but there might be files missing. Resetup recommended.
[17:54] <dr3w_> how do i reconfigure to load into this as this isnt my computer
[17:54] <bullgard4> I added in /etc/samba/smb.conf a line: "log level = 3". But why does the command "~$ smbclient \\\\MD97600\\freigegebenMD -U <password> -W MSHOME" issued on computer T42 in the same LAN still not reflect in /var/log/samba/log.t42?
[17:54] <bobbob1016> zelda, This isn't twitter, no need for @
[17:55] <zelda> whos Twitter?
[17:55] <paulo39> lol... possibly i was very uncarefully
[17:55] <hmw> bullgard4: maybe you set your samba not to log each machine in a different file? in this case, you should see everything in the main samba log
[17:56] <fingletoad> hello

[17:56] <zelda> computerMoney: What?
[17:56] <Doeman> Hey guys i reinstalled windows and now my grub is gone. With my old pc i simply used the SUPER Grub disk and fixed it with that.

[17:57] <fingletoad> does anyone knows how to fix error in tool/i18n.cpp:62, error formatting string in wormux? :D
[17:57] <computerMoney> zelda: which file do I modify?
[17:57] <meteor> what's the best media player to run on ubuntu?
[17:57] <paulo39> hmw, there arent some chances to installling the missing linux-images and recover the system?
[17:57] <user___> vjacob: *maybe* "file"
[17:57] <fosco_> !best | meteor
[17:57] <zelda> computerMoney: You open CCSM do you have that downloaded?
[17:57] <bullgard4> hmw: I set my Samba so that it logs each machine in a different file. At least the file /var/log/samba/log.t42 gets filled gradually. But unfortunately not in reaction of a slave command.
[17:57] <computerMoney> zelda: yes it is now open
[17:58] <hmw> paulo39: as i mentioned, you might be lucky with copying the files from your live cd's file system to the hard drive. If your ubuntu was like freshly set up, it might be ok
[17:58] <meteor> ok, sorry
[17:58] <aquachica> I have rebooted my computer, but the font still does not show up.
[17:58] <zelda> computerMoney: ok go to effects and then window decoration.
[17:58] <zelda> computerMoney: then its self explanitory
[17:58] <computerMoney> zelda: it's just a checkbox
[17:58] <felix__> Flex84
[17:59] <computerMoney> Oh!
[17:59] <computerMoney> zelda: Now I see!
[17:59] <hmw> bullgard4: the server holding the share must be set to use that setting. Are you perhaps expecting smbclient to log into smb-server's log file?
[17:59] <bullgard4> hmw: If I replace '\\' with '/' there will be no difference.
[18:00] <hmw> bullgard4: interesting. i had problems with the backslashes. however, usually this should work out of the box
[18:00] <paulo39> hmw, sorry for my english.. i have some dificulties. what wou are saying is to copy that directory content of my live cd running system to the same directory in the hard disk system? and try to reboot by the hard disk?
[18:00] <linduxed> i press shutdown, and after the ubuntu logo and "shutdown-bar-which-has-to-get-filled-with-black" dissapear, i have to wait for something like half a minute before i the computer powers down. WHY?
[18:00] <kamekun> anyone know about bluetooth services like blueman
[18:01] <hmw> paulo39: yes. mount the hard drive, eg. to /mnt, and just copy the files from /lib/modules. If you dont mind finally destroying your install, it might be worth a shot. I dont know, if it is a good idea, tbh
[18:01] <ortsvorsteher> !anyone | kamekun

[18:03] <bullgard4> hmw: " <       hmw> bullgard4: i take it, you have a smb server with loglevel 3, and another machine connects to a share, but the server doesnt log it?" <- yes.
[18:03] <hmw> bullgard4: thanks for clarification. thinking...
[18:04] <Doeman> ortsvorsteher, ive done it before with the super grub disk, but now when i boot the super grub disk no menu loads, i only get a command line version
[18:04] <raviteja> can anyone tell me how to solve this http://paste.ubuntu.com/134965/
[18:04] <Besogon> aquachica, then I cant help. All work fine for me. (I have Arial and Times. It all what I need). Sorry
[18:04] <ortsvorsteher> Doeman: so try documentation what to do an command line if you are able...
[18:04] <usr13> Doeman: So the system is booting up and  you only have a command line login screen?
[18:05] <aquachica> Thank you for helping.  I do have Arial and Times. I was hoping to get my other fonts loaded.
[18:05] <Doeman> usr13, no super grub disk loads and i dont have the super grub disk quick menu, only commmand line
[18:05] <raviteja> can anyone tell me how to solve this http://paste.ubuntu.com/134965/
[18:05] <aquachica> I use them a lot in Photoshop.
[18:05] <ortsvorsteher> raviteja: do you have another package tool running?
[18:05] <kamekun> i have a problem triying to connect my headset bluetooth device with blueman, is reconigse  the device and connect fine but the sound is still on the laptop, i have ubuntu 8.10
[18:06] <bullgard4> raviteja: I believe that the repositories are out of order at the moment. Please wait and see until the order has been restored by the Ubuntu maintainers. This may take up to two days maximum according to my experience.
[18:06] <hmw> bullgard4: I have no clue, what could cause this. It might be a wrong path to the dir in smbd's conf or even file permissions (which i doubt)
[18:06] <deany> i downloaded google earth 4.3 from the main site, its a bin file, ive used sh (bin file) to install, but how do i uninstall ?
[18:07] <hmw> bullgard4: did you do any fancy things to your server? i mean, unusual smb settings, syslog reconfigured, aso?
[18:07] <militant> is it specifically ubuntu or all of debian, or indeeda ll of linux....    for this firefox slowness?  it's ridiculously ugly/slow zooming a page or switching tabs or anything... but only on my ubuntu box.  not my xp or vista machines
[18:07] <raviteja> bullgard4, ortsvorsteher, i just installed ubuntu in my lappy and i wanted to update my repos and also install codecs
[18:07] <bullgard4> hmw: I have gone through several points together with another helper and we could not find the error in > 4 hours. --
[18:07] <newmember> I hace connected my NTFS Dive to centos, I can browse the directories, but can not write to the drive.  How to set something to write to the USB NTFS Hard drive?
[18:08] <bullgard4> raviteja: So you better wait and see.
[18:08] <DasEi> militant: no, is no typicall  issue
[18:08] <paulo39> hmw, do you know how can i get some rights in the system by live cd? my question is, itś posssible login a user of hard disk system by the live cd system?
[18:08] <raviteja> bullgard4 no other solution
[18:08] <hmw> paulo39: you would do that as root (using sudo)
[18:08] <DasEi> How can I slower or scroll the boot messages at startup ? dumpfile only possib ?
[18:08] <militant> DasEi :  i've seen other people complain.   what i mean is when i zoom a page, it gets graphically very ugly, compared to doing the same page on windows.  and takes a LOT longer to complete the zoom too
[18:09] <hmw> bullgard4: i guess, you already looked at /var/log/messages?
[18:09] <user___> DasEi: dmesg contains a log of the boot messages
[18:09] <kaski> I just set my graphics settings to high
[18:09] <bullgard4> raviteja: My (limited) experience does not know a better solution.
[18:09] <kaski> What are the exact changes
[18:09] <ubuntistas> how can i install gtk?
[18:09] <kaski> !gtk
[18:09] <mib_kk799l> hi all..im reinstalling grub from the live cd..when i do setup (hd0) i get an error:  Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
[18:10] <raviteja> is there anyone who can solve this issue http://paste.ubuntu.com/134965/
[18:10] <mib_kk799l> i then did find /boot/grub/stage1
[18:10] <mib_kk799l> and it returns me a partition
[18:10] <hmw> raviteja: try sudo apt-get clean
[18:10]  * ortsvorsteher is afk
[18:10] <paulo39> hmw, but can i enter in the directory of the hard disk system?
[18:11] <mib_kk799l> but when i use that partition in the setup command i get the same error
[18:11] <gksu-user> Is "gksu" supposed to transfer X cookies like "sux"? It doesn't work for me: gksu -u foo xterm -> No protocol specifiedxterm Xt error: Can't open display: :0.0
[18:11] <hmw> paulo: sure. 1) mount the file system. e.g. sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt  2) ls /mnt/lib/modules (would be empty in your case)
[18:12] <bullgard4> hmw: /var/log/messages does not reveal anything interesting for the problem at hand.
[18:12] <hmw> bullgard4: sorry, I have to give up on this issue. If you don't care for finding the reason, you could try reinstall samba
[18:13] <raviteja> hmw; hey thanks it worked
[18:13] <marcusdavidus2>  anyone know an backport for intrepid with gnome 2.26 becosue stupid canonical of course dont alow this to be in intrepid OMFG
[18:13] <hmw> bullgard4: this usually works without problems, so I assume, you have certain extra settings in effect. Maybe complex partitioning/mounting or something alike. How "ordinary" is your server's setup?
[18:14] <gksu-user> Can I allow one user to "su" to become another user without passwords?
[18:14] <ubuntistas> anybody using gnome why my music isn't shown i music transfer?
[18:14] <DasEi> user___: haven't got a /var/run/dmesg.boot
[18:14] <ubuntistas> i mean gnomad2
[18:14] <bullgard4> hmw: Perhaps this is a good idea. Because I upgraded this Samba server from Ubuntu 6.06 though the years.
[18:15] <ubuntistas> how can i install gnomad2 targz file
[18:15] <ubuntistas> any clue help
[18:15] <hmw> raviteja: just a hint for the future: i googled the error message ("Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock") and found your solution on the first page. Websearching for error messages or virus names or strange program names (you found in your task list without expecting them there) helps often
[18:16] <user___> DasEi: just type dmesg in a terminal
[18:16] <hmw> bullgard4: draw back is of course, you wont know, what it is, when it happens again
[18:16] <bullgard4> hmw: Yes, this is true. --  Thank you for advising.
[18:16] <militant> ubuntistas  you've been told several times.  open a terminal, cd to th e directory it's in, do tar xvf gnomad2.tar.gz, cd to the new directory, and read the INSTALL.    or better yet, just run 'sudo apt-get install gnomad2'
[18:17] <hmw> bullgard4: i have another idea: you could grep certain dirs for the output you were expecting: grep -R '<searchtext>' <startdir>
[18:17] <kamekun> i connect my device fine but the sound is still on the laptop and not on the headset
[18:17] <hmw> bullgard4: (for the case, it is written to the wrong file)
[18:17] <alessandro_> ciao a tutti
[18:17] <mib_kk799l> hi..im reinstalling grub, but i get this: Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition . SOS!
[18:18] <bullgard4> hmw: But I do not know the exact string to grep for, unfortunately.
[18:18] <meteor> how well does songbird run on ubuntu?
[18:18] <ubuntistas> militant i did that it doesn't show me something when i do make
[18:18] <DasEi> thanks, user, or enabling bootlogging; there was a trick to scroll those messages at bootup, I forgot it, but dmesg is fine
[18:18] <hmw> bullgard4: uhm... grep for the host name of the client or it's IP
[18:18] <militant> ubuntistas  then use aptitude to install it.  that's what it's for
[18:18] <ubuntistas> i want the new version do u se gnomad2
[18:18] <Akkernight> does the Ubuntu have any known issues?
[18:19] <Akkernight> Ubuntu cals*
[18:19] <ubuntistas> i just don't see my song in music transfer
[18:19] <Akkernight> calc**
[18:19] <hmw> Akkernight: lots. What do you mean?
[18:19] <bullgard4> Akkernight: Yes. You can find them in Launchpad.
[18:19] <zaccour> im thinkin about trying opensuse. any experiences with that?
[18:19] <user___> zaccour: slow...
[18:19] <militant> nevermind
[18:19] <Akkernight> hmw, meant Ubuntu calc, in Applications ->Acessories -> Calc, sorry for that :S
[18:19] <usmat> irc://irc.abjects.net/cinefacts
[18:19] <alessandro_> channel italian?
[18:20] <hmw> zaccour: i have heard different opinions. Seems like it is quite ok for some people. I suggest, you try and see for yourself. Many people dislike YaST

[18:20] <calc> Akkernight: heh ok :)
[18:20] <hmw> Akkernight: i still dont understand. Please ask a little more detailed question
[18:20] <Akkernight> Nevermind, it was me typing in the wrong numbers :S
[18:20] <zaccour> how do i enable dvd playback in xubuntu?

[18:21] <paulo39> there are some recover cd? that would recover my system?
[18:21] <hmw> paulo39: in most cases, i is much easier to reinstall the whole system rather than trying to repair it, unless you know, what youre up to
[18:21] <bullgard4> hmw: I will grep /var/log/ for 'MD97600'.
[18:22] <zaccour> ubottu, thanks
[18:22] <zaccour> ubottu, ok
[18:22] <hmw> bullgard4: grepping for the share name might be interesting, too.
[18:22] <bullgard4> hmw: Yes. Lets go.
[18:22] <paulo39> hmw, the little prblem is that i cant (i dont know why) make a back up of some files i had in the system directory :(
[18:23] <paulo39> i have the disk mounted, but i dont have permissions
[18:23] <paulo39> to extract some important files for him

[18:24] <DasEi> paulo: use sudo
[18:24] <paulo39> i used sudo
[18:24] <rar_> what is the gs process?
[18:24] <paulo39> and i dont had permissions
[18:24] <iptables-user> When I issue IPTABLES commands, do they persist through reboots? If not, how do I make them persist?
[18:24] <Krionic> how do you go about installing a package that requires dependencies which the Synaptic Package Manager says cannot be installed (" Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.14.1) but 2.12.9-3ubuntu5 is to be installed")
[18:25] <ajhais> hi everyone... i need some help... can we multi-thread the apt packet downloading...
[18:25] <Edico> hi
[18:25] <ajhais> i mean can we accelerate the downloading of source packages through internet ??
[18:25] <mvalviar> hi people. I'm trying to compile a gedit plugin and I'm getting an error at ./configure. It says checking for GEDIT... configure: error: Package requirements (

[18:25] <mvalviar> 	gio-2.0 >= 2.16.0
[18:25] <LjL> ajhais: there is something called apt-torrent, but i think it's pretty experimental
[18:25] <crdlb> Krionic: that package is for a different version of ubuntu (or a different debian-based distro entirely)
[18:25] <arvind_khadri> !paste| mvalviar
[18:25] <Edico> how can I see uid and gid?
[18:25] <arvind_khadri> Edico, id
[18:25] <kamekun> i have a problem triying to connect my headset bluetooth device with blueman, is reconigse  the device and connect fine but the sound is still on the laptop, i have ubuntu 8.10
[18:26] <ajhais> LjL: okay... thanks.. i will check it out..
[18:26] <cristi_> but how i can stop a process to start wen ubuntu starts
[18:26] <Edico> thanks arvind_khadri
[18:26] <LjL> cristi_: is it a service started in /etc/init.d?
[18:26] <hmw> cristi_ you can configure your services in System > Administration > Services
[18:26] <DasEi> paulo: f.e.  sudo  cp -r /<yourFolder>  ~/Desktop                          doesn't work ?
[18:26] <Krionic> crdlb: it's a package listed in the Synaptic Package Manager. acroread, actually...
[18:26] <arvind_khadri> Edico, np
[18:26] <iptables-user> When I issue IPTABLES commands, do they persist through reboots? If not, how do I make them persist?
[18:26] <rar_> how can i display which files are opened by which process?
[18:26] <LjL> rar_: lsof
[18:27] <crdlb> Krionic: there's no acroread package in the ubuntu repos afaict
[18:27] <crdlb> at least not by that name
[18:27] <Impy> Hi does anyone who how i can get permission to use a partition i've selected to mount on boot with pysdm
[18:27] <LjL> iptables-user: no they don't, but you can use "iptable-save" and "iptables-restore" to achieve that
[18:27] <crdlb> Krionic: I seem to recall that you have to use medibuntu for that
[18:27] <LjL> !iptables > iptables-user    (iptables-user, see the private message from ubottu)
[18:27] <ScottG489> How can I get ubuntu to recognise my webcam on my laptop and/or my mic?

[18:28] <sebsebseb> LjL: Isof is a command?
[18:28] <cristi_> thanks
[18:28] <binarymutant> what's "beta smoke testing" day?
[18:28] <pvtpete> hi. I'm a total noob and I can't get my head around installing binary packages on ubuntu  - perhaps someone could help
[18:28] <pvtpete> pleasssseeeee
[18:28] <crdlb> mvalviar: you need the gedit-dev package
[18:28] <NemesisD> hi. i have to instruct someone on how to reconfigure grub. anyone know how to get the hd(x,x) number for all partitions?
[18:28] <pvtpete> :)
[18:28] <hmw> sebsebseb: it is lsof (LSOF list open files)
[18:28] <sebsebseb> pvtpete: what do you want to install?
[18:28] <mintsoup> !apt-get
[18:28] <binarymutant> pvtpete, use synaptic, it's the easiest way
[18:28] <iptables-user> LjL: I guess if iptables do not persist, I just want a command line executed at startup as root
[18:28] <Krionic> crdlb: thank you. then I'll need to look for a pdf viewer that lets me write into a pdf file correctly then.  Evince doesn't work well...
[18:29] <pvtpete> it's crashing my computer
[18:29] <pvtpete> that thing
[18:29] <bigrigger> iptables-user: sudo iptables-save
[18:29] <sebsebseb> hmw: ok that was fun to fun
[18:29] <LjL> iptables-user: the "right" way is to use "iptables-save" and "iptables-restore", and you can certainly run those at startup, check the page (one way of running stuff at startup is /etc/rc.local)
[18:30] <Gnea> pvtpete: can't help you if you don't tell us what it is you need help with.
[18:30] <mvalviar> thanks. Let me try that. Sorry for the flood =D
[18:30] <pvtpete> ah - ok it's working now ;)
[18:30] <pvtpete> (agreed)
[18:31] <crdlb> Krionic: check your /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* for a line containing the wrong distro version (intrepid, when it should be hardy)
[18:31] <Gnea> pvtpete: for a noob, you sure got it working quickly on your own :)
[18:31] <pvtpete> beginners luck
[18:31] <pvtpete> :D
[18:32] <pvtpete> is there any way to link to the sourceforge repository as a software source
[18:32] <pvtpete> btw
[18:32] <Gnea> does sourceforge offer .deb packages now?
[18:33] <binarymutant> pvtpete, some projects have deb packages but they are not repositories.
[18:33] <LjL> Gnea: that depends entirely on the project
[18:33] <LjL> Gnea: a project on SF might offer .deb's, another might not
[18:33] <emma> Do any of you run Debian?
[18:33] <binarymutant> emma, I do
[18:33] <Gnea> LjL: right, but AFAIK, SF does not have its own repository setup
[18:34] <meteor> how well does songbird run on ubuntu?
[18:34] <emma> When you run sudo aptitude -s --visual-preview install <package> in debian, will it install the package?
[18:34] <Krionic> crdlb: you're right on. for some reason I have a medibuntu.lst in my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory.
[18:34] <LjL> Gnea: well no it doesn't, but a .deb package doesn't really need to live in a repository
[18:34] <usmat> #abjects
[18:34] <LakesProse> meteor: it's sluggish for me but I tried it wayback when it was admitted slowish
[18:34] <binarymutant> emma, I don't use aptitude on the regular sorry
[18:34] <Gnea> emma: that question might better be asked in #debian
[18:34] <crdlb> Krionic: that's how you were trying to get acroread; if you change the intrepid to hardy, and reload (sudo apt-get update), you should be able to get acroread
[18:35] <pvtpete> oh ok.. thanks binarymutant
[18:35] <binarymutant> emma, #debian is on irc.oftc.net
[18:35] <emma> binarymutant: thanks
[18:35] <emma> binarymutant: I think I have found a bug that affects aptitude in both debian and ubuntu
[18:36] <scunizi> When using scp is the syntax.. scp <user@host pulling file from>:file> <user@host copying file to> .. ?
[18:36] <Krionic> crdlb: my sources.list  shows all hardly sources. should that be intrepid instead?
[18:36] <binarymutant> emma, is it a bug in the --visual-preview switch?
[18:37] <Krionic> crdlb: i believe i installed hardy... that should be correct.
[18:37] <crdlb> Krionic: no, you're using hardy (8.04 LTS). you can upgrade to intrepid (8.10) if you want to, but you don't need to; hardy will be supported for a while
[18:37] <emma> binarymutant: On my machine (ubuntu intrepid) the --visual-preview swich is over-riding the -s switch (which should make it a simulation and not actually do the install).
[18:37] <gordonjcp> is there a way to completely reset Ubuntu's X configuration and set it all up from scratch?
[18:37] <binarymutant> scunizi, its correct
[18:37] <giorgos> hi...question -> should i choose ubuntu server or centos server to provide web hosting services?
[18:38] <gordonjcp> giorgos: which do you prefer?
[18:38] <binarymutant> emma, I'll try it with something
[18:38] <emma> binarymutant: I stumbled upon this just playing around with stuff after I read the entire aptitude man page. Just for education.
[18:38] <rar_> giorgos: any special needs?
[18:38] <DasEi> gordonjcp: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[18:38] <scunizi> binarymutant: thanks.. trying now.
[18:38] <arvind_khadri> !x | gordonjcp
[18:38] <giorgos> gordonjcp: What is the best for professional usage?
[18:39] <gordonjcp> arvind_khadri: I know what X is, thanks
[18:39] <crdlb> gordonjcp: if you just mean the xorg.conf; 'sudo dexconf' will give you a completely stock xorg.conf that you can customize
[18:39] <DasEi> gordonjcp: if you installed drivers, might de-install them,too
[18:39] <Krionic> crdlb, I see. so if i switch to intrepid I can get acroread. but that doesn't tell me why I have a medibuntu.list file. should that even be there?
[18:39] <arvind_khadri> gordonjcp, you can re-build it from scratch looking at some examples
[18:39] <emma> binarymutant: cool thanks.  I expected that it would give me the visual interface (as per --visual-preview) and do a simulation (as per -s), I intentionally chose a package I would not mind having installed just in case, but rather than what was expected, I got the visual UI but the package was actually installed when I did this: sudo aptitude -s --visual-preview install sbcl
[18:39] <giorgos> rar_: to make web pages for my customers
[18:39] <meteor> :(
[18:40] <gordonjcp> arvind_khadri: I think I'm about due a reinstall anyway
[18:40] <rar_> giorgos: use ubuntu. it works fine and you have a great community.
[18:40] <crdlb> Krionic: medibuntu is a third-party repo that you added following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu , but you accidentally added the intrepid version instead of hardy
[18:40] <saurabh1403> hello everyone...Can anyone tell me if there is some C++ reference manual which can be installed on ubuntu as a quick reference guide for C++ functions
[18:40] <Gnea> emma: doesn't --visual-preview denote that it switches out of commandline mode?
[18:40] <scunizi> binarymutant: I get permission denied even after entering the password.. I'm actually ssh'd into that machine right now so I know I can connect to it
[18:40] <Krionic> crdlb thank you. I will check the site and correct my mistake.
[18:41] <emma> Gnea: It does switch out of command line mode. It takes it to the visual UI. However, -s should make it read only in that case.
[18:41] <giorgos> rar_: In my desktop i use ubuntu but they say that centos is more stable and secure! Is it true?
[18:41] <emma> Gnea: After pressing 'g' in the visual UI, the package actually gets installed.
[18:41] <emma> Gnea: This is not what I was expecting with -s.
[18:41] <crdlb> Krionic: I guess the easiest solution is to delete /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list before running the command on that page
[18:41] <charlesatlas> I don't seem to be able to get my CD/DVD RW to work anymore.  It used to work!  How to check?
[18:41] <Gnea> emma: according to the manpage, -s only works when it's in commandline mode.  Therefore, anything that takes it out of commandline mode instantly invalidates its function.
[18:42] <emma> Gnea: (1) In that case if it isn't a bug it's an instance of a bug in the documentation because that's not clear at all. (2) That's not how I am reading the man page. Read the last sentence.
[18:42] <eqisow1> giorgos: probably more stable, since it's tied closely to RHEL
[18:42] <gordonjcp> arvind_khadri: there are a few other things that are behaving a bit oddly, but replacing my graphics card has really properly broken it now ;-)
[18:43] <emma>  -s, --simulate
[18:43] <emma>            In command-line mode, print the actions that would normally be performed, but don´t actually perform them.

[18:43] <emma>            This does not require root privileges. In the visual interface, always open the cache in read-only mode
[18:43] <shogo2040> hi, I have an Ubuntu GUI question.  What is the gui equivalent of mounting an ntfs partition? I tried Places->20 GB Media. Then it mounted on my desktop. perfect.  now I right click on the hard drive icon.. I hit Properties.. and I see many tabs.  Where is the checkbox to automount on boot?
[18:43] <emma>            regardless of whether you are root.
[18:43] <emma> oops (sorry didn't expect that to have new lines)
[18:43] <FloodBot2> emma: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:43] <arvind_khadri> gordonjcp, then replace the drivers :) and then rebuild X
[18:43] <emma> yes yes..
[18:43] <Gnea> emma: please use the pastebin site.
[18:43] <gordonjcp> arvind_khadri: well that's the thing, I can't convince it to replace the drivers
[18:43] <sebsebseb> lol emma got banned or whatever?
[18:43] <Jeruvy> charlesatlas: 'doesn't work' isn't very informative.  Can you explain what happens and why you think it doesn't work?  Have you checked /var/log/messages for errors?
[18:43] <LjL> emma: you know the rules here very well, please respect them.
[18:43] <Gnea> no, just silenced
[18:44] <tamido> hi folks, How can I tell whether I use "Feisty Fawn", "Dapper Drake" or "Edgy Eft" version of ubuntu?
[18:44] <arvind_khadri> shogo2040, place the line to fstab
[18:44] <gordonjcp> arvind_khadri: I replaced an nvidia 7300GT with a slightly different kind of nvidia 7300GT, won't even get me into X
[18:44] <giorgos> eqisow1: Is centos more dificult to support it by an administrator or is the same with an ubuntu server?
[18:44] <emma> Gnea, LjL Yeah of course. That would have been fine if not for the newlines. It was a short paragraph if in one post. Not disrespect, an accident.
[18:44] <Gnea> emma: right, "print the actions that would normally be performed, but don´t actually perform them."
[18:44] <arvind_khadri> gordonjcp, :) i have the same card... install the drivers from the repo
[18:44] <charlesatlas> Jeruvy: I mean it does not mount or eject.  Brasero says there is no drive there
[18:44] <scunizi> binarymutant: nevermind I figured it out..
[18:44] <louis> hey i have problems with my apache: (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 , im looking in apache2.conf i dont found the line..
[18:44] <hmw> tamido: System > ABout Ubuntu
[18:44] <shogo2040> arvind. is there a way to do this without launching Terminal? basically i'm wondering if I can point and click my way to this.. since Ubuntu has the best Gnome desktop
[18:44] <gordonjcp> arvind_khadri: the drivers are already installed.  They don't work.
[18:44] <LjL> emma: well, just a suggestion - don't add another message after being warned by the floodbots, as that will cause, as you could witness, a mute
[18:45] <arvind_khadri> gordonjcp, which driver?
[18:45] <emma> yeah
[18:45] <Gnea> emma: therefore, whenever aptitude is *NOT* in command-line mode, that function will not work. it's that simple.
[18:45] <exodus_ms> emma, what are you doing, flooding the channel like that on accident, apologizing, and then explaining what happened... you should have known better :P
[18:45] <gordonjcp> arvind_khadri: nvidia-glx
[18:45] <emma> LjL: Yeah hehe.
[18:45] <tamido> thanks
[18:45] <emma> Gnea: that's not what it goes on to say in the last sentence though.
[18:45] <sebsebseb> emma:   I thought you were another emma, but it seems that your not
[18:45] <gordonjcp> arvind_khadri: this particular machine *was* using a 7300GT, which I've just swapped for a different 7300GT
[18:45] <eqisow1> giorgos: not much difference there, as long as your OK with RPM package management. not much difference security wise, assuming both are properly configured. All linux distro share TONS of code, so vulnerabilities often spread across distros
[18:45] <yellabs> hi there
[18:45] <filof> alguien que hable español?
[18:45] <arvind_khadri> gordonjcp, which ubuntu ?
[18:45] <LjL> !es | filof
[18:45] <ryanakca> !es | filof
[18:45] <sebsebseb> !es
[18:45] <gordonjcp> arvind_khadri: the original card was flaky which is why I changed it
[18:45] <shogo2040> I guess that can be a feature request for next version of Ubuntu.. checkbox under properties tab of a mounted HD to automount
[18:45] <emma> Gnea: The first sentence says what it will do in command line mode. The last sentence says *what it will do* in visual mode.
[18:45] <gordonjcp> arvind_khadri: hardy
[18:45] <yellabs> any one here who has regnum online running on their ubuntu desktop?
[18:46] <arvind_khadri> gordonjcp, aah ok... :)
[18:46] <ryanakca> How can I have Ubuntu bring up my wireless at boot instead of making me wait until I log in to KDE4/GNOME and start a networkmanager applet?
[18:46] <emma> Gnea: man aptitude and /-s
[18:46] <gordonjcp> arvind_khadri: I don't know *why* it doesn't like this card
[18:46] <ziggytob> recommendations please          which vmware works best with ubuntu 8.10 please thanks in advance
[18:46] <Jeruvy> charlesatlas: ok, what does /var/log/messages tell you?  I would guess if the device is working (seen in BIOS) that an error would log during boottime.
[18:46] <charlesatlas> Jeruvy: Nothing I can find in /var/log/messages related to that drive
[18:46] <lanteau> alright so at this point I really truly believe that using a bluetooth headset in ubuntu is impossible
[18:47] <sebsebseb> !best | ziggytob
[18:47] <shogo2040> ok.. i'll get down and unix dirty.. so I found this fstab thingie:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
[18:47] <eqisow1> ryanakca: manually configure your wireless instead of using networkmanager
[18:47] <emma> Gnea: actually man aptitude and /--simulate takes you there.
[18:47] <arvind_khadri> gordonjcp, weird :)
[18:47] <shogo2040> I see two lines of fstab cryptic code
[18:47] <gordonjcp> arvind_khadri: indeed
[18:47] <shogo2040> UUID=12102C02102CEB83  /media/windows  ntfs-3g
[18:47] <shogo2040> auto,users,uid=1000,gid=100,dmask=027,fmask=137,utf8  0  0
[18:47] <gordonjcp> arvind_khadri: already removed the lines specifying PCI devices
[18:47] <shogo2040> what the heck is all that??
[18:48] <shogo2040> i'm only human :)
[18:48] <arvind_khadri> !fstab | shogo2040
[18:48] <eqisow1> ryanakca: see here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo
[18:48] <Gnea> emma: so if I am understanding you correctly, you're saying that, when mixed with the visual mode, it's supposed to protect the cache?
[18:48] <ryanakca> eqisow1: /etc/network/interfaces, correct? And then I suppose I have to uninstall NetworkManager (or just disable it)? What's the line for wpa?
[18:48] <emma> Gnea: -s, --simulate has two sentences. The first says what it will do in commandline mode, the second says what it will do in visual UI mode.
[18:48] <ajhais> LjL: apt-torrent uses bit-torrent protocol...  but that torrent ports are blocked in my network
[18:48] <ajhais> :(
[18:48] <eqisow1> ryanakca: You can just disable it, the wpa stuff is in the link I gave you
[18:49] <shogo2040> ok.. I am programming an fstab right now.
[18:49] <arvind_khadri> gordonjcp, i have no idea...
[18:49] <Jeruvy> charlesatlas: you may also see if this article is any help: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+question/23415
[18:49] <emma> Gnea: Well my whole purpose for reading the man aptitude page is that I'm no expert and I'm trying to learn about linux. As I read the second sentence there it is indicating how it's going to prevent, for example any actual installation since it will all be read-only
[18:49] <ryanakca> eqisow1: Thanks
[18:50] <Gnea> emma: that seems to denote that there is a difference between actually performing the functions related to changing package installation context and keeping the package management cache read-only... I could be wrong if it's the 'package management' cache itself or not
[18:50] <shogo2040> configuring and understanding fstab will take me about an hour... so time for me to dive in.. but next time.. please place a checkbox in the GUI so I don't have to do this again on the next version :)
[18:50] <Gnea> emma: oh I understand :)
[18:50] <shogo2040> hehehehe!
[18:50] <newmember> how do I tell what is writing to a disk on linux?
[18:51] <Gnea> !fstab | shogo2040
[18:51] <shogo2040> yea yea.. i'm reading it
[18:51] <binarymutant> emma, it doesn't simulate for me either btw
[18:51] <shogo2040> time to vi mah files
[18:51] <emma> Gnea: But -s --visual-preview install sbcl did not just simulate an installation of sbcl, it installed it.
[18:51] <Gnea> shogo2040: if a checkbox is what you'd like to see, you may want to point it out to the developers :)
[18:51] <dvheumen> Does someone have any idea how to trace/fix segfaults?
[18:52] <DasEi> newmember: you want to know free diskspace ?
[18:52] <Krionic> crdlb: thank you so much. I was becoming very frustrated. it's working correctly now.
[18:52] <musikgoat|main> !strace | dvheumen
[18:52] <emma> binarymutant: is it a bug?
[18:52] <Gnea> emma: so the question then becomes, which 'cache' is it actually making read-only?
[18:52] <binarymutant> dvheumen, gdb *might* help
[18:52] <Assid> yello
[18:52] <newmember> DasEi: I tring to determine what process is writting to the disk
[18:52] <Assid> okay i got my hands on a compaq presario v6000
[18:52] <emma> Gnea: surely what it ought to do is go through the motions but not make any real changes. That's what -s should mean.
[18:52] <musikgoat|main> dvheumen: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Strace
[18:52] <Jeruvy> !info strace | musikgoat|main
[18:52] <shogo2040> coolios.. but I gotta say.. Ubuntu is the easiest linux distros i've ever used...   I totally can see this OS maturing to an super easy to use desktop
[18:53] <DasEi> newmember: top shows running proceses
[18:53] <musikgoat|main> Jeruvy: was trying to get him more info, not the package info, but thanks
[18:53] <dvheumen> binarymutant: I've used gdb and I found that the stack trace ended in libc6.so.0
[18:53] <charlesatlas> Jeruvy: Nope.  does not work.  It says there is no media in the drive when I try to mount or eject it.
[18:53] <dvheumen> binarymutant: but I don't know how to proceed from there to fix the segfault
[18:53] <giorgos> I hava ubuntu 8.10 and i hava a problem. Sometimes when i click on field to write something the cursor of mouse doesnot respond and i cant write. Any suggestion?
[18:53] <Assid> i keep running into some weird issue of wifi etc.. and its not letting me install
[18:53] <charlesatlas> Jeruvy: It seems to see the drive itself
[18:53] <Jeruvy> charlesatlas: I would see if the bios is still able to detect it.  It could have died :(
[18:54] <charlesatlas> Jeruvy: bios see it just fine
[18:54] <giorgos> This happens in any program. For example i try to write a message on irc and when in click to write nothing happern
[18:54] <Jeruvy> charlesatlas: you did check that link?
[18:54] <Gnea> emma: but as we just went through, clearly interpretted differently, we see that the documentation refers to the full functionality of the commandline switch while the program operates in command-line mode, not when it switches to a different mode, except in the case of the visual preview, which as it states, only makes the cache read-only, it doesn't say anything about preventing the package from not being installed in that frame of reference.
[18:54] <tq|Memphis> how can see running processes i mean which command
[18:54] <nightrid3r> i just got a 64bit system for general desktop use, is there any advantage in installing a 64bit ubuntu instead of a 32bit?
[18:54] <giorgos> *happens
[18:54] <anubis_> can anyone tell me the when it would be best to use hard links, and when it would be best to use soft links, what are the advantages each has?
[18:54] <charlesatlas> Jeruvy: Yup, followed it exactly.  Says it is already linked
[18:54] <meteor> :(
[18:55] <Roasted> anybody running Ubuntu 8.10 on an Optiplex 740?
[18:56] <bin1010> I am using the sudo apt-get install/purge and i have a long list of things that are no longer required, but if I remove them using autoremove I can't get to the network.. :(..  is there a way to tell apt-get that "yes I know they are there and I still want them there"???
[18:57] <Abracadabr4> good evening
[18:57] <charlesatlas> Jeruvy: I know the bios sees it, as it will try to boot from it if I put a bootable cd in there.
[18:57] <eqisow1> bin1010: remove it and apt-get install it explicitly would be my suggestion
[18:57] <Gnea> emma: but what you're saying, is that the -s switch should provide its full functionality even when the --visual-preview is called, thus removing its dependency on being a commandline-only switch. Why not just add a whole new switch, say, -svp, which actually combines those functions and keeps the originals safe so that other system scripts aren't disrupted? :)
[18:57] <Jeruvy> charlesatlas: did you modify the fstab file or install anything that did?  Or if there is a backup /etc/fstab or /etc/fstab.bak
[18:57] <dvheumen> binarymutant: right, I've also done a strace, should a paste it on paste.ubuntu.com (or something like that)
[18:57] <charlesatlas> Jeruvy: nothing changed.  I went for lunch
[18:57] <bullgard4> hmw: I found now some interesting results. I started the client command at 19:51:01 local time. And ':~$ rgrep -i 'freigegebenMD' /var/log/ 2>/dev/null' got traces of it in /var/log/debug, /var/log/daemon.log, /var/log/syslog.
[18:58] <binarymutant> dvheumen, ya pastebin it
[18:58] <lampliter> having a problem blacklisting my laptop's webcam.
[18:58] <Jeruvy> charlesatlas: well that will teach you :)  Seriously tho, I'm running out of ideas.

[18:58] <Abracadabr4> Can anyone tell me how I can resize my hdd ? ... I have an 80Gb hdd with XP on 20Gb in primary, and have installed Ubuntu 8.04 and it has created an extended partition with all the rest of the space. I want to install another Linux on that hdd though
[18:58] <hmw> bullgard4: any conclusions?
[18:58] <ubuntistas> anyone using gnomad2 i cannot see my music in music transfer

[18:59] <binarymutant> emma, according to gnea it's not a bug, but this is why I stick with apt and synaptic
[18:59] <Gnea> !gparted | Abracadabr4 (gparted is a program that has resizing functionality built-in)
[18:59] <[DarkSun]> im trying to install ubuntu on my sunblade2000 and the install cd doesnt seem to want to lot me set the partition /dev/sda2 as anything except a LVM, any ideas, or any way to load the lvm-mod(it aparently is not included)???
[18:59] <dvheumen> binarymutant: http://paste.ubuntu.com/135011/
[18:59] <eqisow1> bin1010: well, it would actually still work... but it looks like something may have gotten messed up in apt. you could re-install ubuntu-desktop, if you prefer
[19:00] <sebsebseb> Kriss3d: yes, but  you would have to set up, and that would be a bit difficult, plus it's not the best thing to do that
[19:00] <hmw> sebsebseb: i was thinking about installing it on my notebook, too... maybe my sound gets better.... it basically works, but when I use the mouse (or sometimes even without doing anything), the sound stops and I have to restart the app (or X somtimes)
[19:00] <sebsebseb> hmw: your talking to me in the wrong place????
[19:00] <lampliter> past bin of log and blacklist entry or device  http://paste.ubuntu.com/135010/
[19:00] <Abracadabr4> Gnea, it doesn't let me resize the partition as it is in use by Ubuntu ...
[19:00] <dvheumen> binarymutant: it happens always when I try to start pidgin, but it happens occasionally on other programs too
[19:00] <Jeruvy> charlesatlas: run lsmod, and pastebin the output
[19:00] <Gnea> Abracadabr4: that's what the livecd option is for
[19:00] <Kriss3d> sebsebseb, well i need my wifi drivers to work
[19:00] <lampliter> why is that not blacklistiing?
[19:00] <emma> Gnea: if it isn't a bug it a design flaw or a documentation problem.
[19:01] <tamido> I have ubuntu 8.10. Is it possible to install Internet explorer for earlier versions of ubuntu?
[19:01] <bin1010> i purged the network manager
[19:01] <bullgard4> hmw: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/394542/ --  No conclusions yet. I do not understand the output messages too well.
[19:01] <nightrid3r> tamido: internet explorer is for windows only, not for ubuntu
[19:01] <bin1010> its the only way I know how to get the box to work with static IPs and they actually stick
[19:01] <Abracadabr4> Gnea, so all I need is to boot from the liveCD and gparted from there ?
[19:02] <binarymutant> dvheumen, it's a mmap problem, I would write a bug report if pidgin segfaults on you all the time
[19:02] <binarymutant> dvheumen, if you do write a bug report include that strace
[19:02] <Gnea> emma: it sounds more to me like it's working as it was designed to. but, for the sake of argument and for improving the OS, I think you bring up a valid point. If I were you, I'd email the developers (maybe they have a mailing list?) and see what they think.
[19:02] <nightrid3r> i just got a 64bit system for general desktop use, is there any advantage in installing a 64bit ubuntu instead of a 32bit?
[19:02] <charlesatlas> Jeruvy: http://www.pastebin.ca/1367389
[19:02] <ubuntistas> anyone using gnomad
[19:02] <ubuntistas> ?
[19:03] <Gnea> Abracadabr4: when you're booted from the livecd, the partitions in question aren't being used.
[19:03] <geeksauce> i have an external hard drive that's formatted HFS+ and used primarily with a mac. When i plug it into my linux box, only some of the folders are readable. the ones i cannot read from say i don't have sufficient permissions.  is there a way to change this without using my mac, since it's off in memphis for repair?
[19:03] <Jeruvy> charlesatlas: well that is strange, I see cdrom listed.
[19:03] <dvheumen> binarymutant: but is it really caused by Pidgin, since I've had other crashes that also trace back to libc6 ... it seems all a bit too much of a coincidence
[19:04] <charlesatlas> Jeruvy: exactly
[19:04] <hotgirlcandy9023> hi my name is candy i luv me sum candy so get me sum candy and flirt with me :)
[19:04] <Abracadabr4> Gnea: ok, thanks, I will give that a try. Is there any tools similar to Partition Magic that could resize the partitions, then reboot the PC to make the changes ?
[19:04] <Gnea> !ops | hotgirlcandy9023
[19:04] <charlesatlas> Jeruvy: I see it in nautilus.  It just won't mount.
[19:05] <meteor> lol
[19:05] <hmw> bullgard4 - try to place the shared folder NOT in /home and see, if it works
[19:05] <ubuntistas> i cannot sse my music in music transfer in gnomad2 any clue?
[19:05] <Gnea> Abracadabr4: not that I know of... I've used gparted before with success, so you may find yourself with a trial-and-error situation
[19:05] <binarymutant> dvheumen, libc is a huge library for all the normal C functions. so a lot of segfaults will show its coming from libc6 but when you strace it will show the actual function in the library thats messing up
[19:06] <Abracadabr4> Gnea: ok thanks
[19:06] <homeskill> how can i find out if ubuntu has drivers for my SanDisk ImageMate USB Card Reader (SDDR-05) ?
[19:06] <sebsebseb> homeskill: the companies website?
[19:06] <sebsebseb> homeskill: you got Ubuntu now?
[19:06] <bullgard4> hmw: This would be a major work.
[19:06] <homeskill> sebsebseb yeah i have ubuntu installed
[19:07] <gordonjcp> homeskill: if it doesn't need drivers for a Mac it won't need them for Linux
[19:07] <sebsebseb> homeskill: put your USB device in and find out if Ubuntu detects it then?
[19:07] <Jeruvy> charlesatlas: well this may sound dumb, but try booting from livecd and seeing if it mounts properly, then copy the fstab file, reboot normally and compare.
[19:07] <geeksauce> anyone know if i can change the permissions on an HFS+ external drive from within linux?
[19:07] <charlesatlas> Jeruvy: I don't have a live Ubuntu CD.
[19:07] <charlesatlas> Jeruvy: I just have a BSD
[19:08] <charlesatlas> Jeruvy: I installed from usb thumb
[19:08] <dvheumen> binarymutant: alright, I'll accept that :). Another thing I'm curious about is the following: I've upgraded pidgin from 2.5.2 to 2.5.5. Since then pidgin stopped working, but when I downgrade to 2.5.2 it still doesn't work
[19:08] <sebsebseb> charlesatlas: ok well some would say BSD is better than Ubuntu.   at the end of the day  Ubuntu is Unix based and  BSD is real Unix
[19:08] <Jeruvy> charlesatlas: that could work, hmm maybe the usb installer is at issue...check for bugs (lots)

[19:09] <sebsebseb> Akkernight: oh wait

[19:11] <Titan8990> The_Drizzle, that is true, I have seen many people attempt it, it is possible but not supported or recommended
[19:11] <gordonjcp> come back XFree86, all is forgiven
[19:11] <ubd> obey_me_ how does deluge add torrents?
[19:11] <Akkernight> wait, why doesn't Code::Blocks allow me to type ~ ? The way my keyboard types this is holding down Alt Gr +  another button which name I don't know
[19:11] <alex1971> kto-to govorit po russky?
[19:11] <gordonjcp> this x.org stuff is *rubbish*
[19:12] <The_Drizzle> Titan8990, In a few words, why all the trouble?
[19:12] <DivineEntity> DasEi have a nameserver ?
[19:12] <xray7224> ubd go to the torrent and click open with or in deluge go to file then open
[19:12] <The_Drizzle> Titan8990, I'm reading that link, by the way
[19:12] <charlesatlas> Jeruvy: ok, get this.  I stuck in a SimCity CD and it recognized it?????
[19:12] <obey_me_> ubd:  i don't know, i just use the desktop version.  but check out their website, they have good documentation
[19:12] <rar_> how to disable indexing?
[19:12] <xray7224> oooooooo cli version ?
[19:12] <Titan8990> The_Drizzle, ubuntu has implemented systems that install say, alsa modules via the package management system. On a modified ubuntu kernel you will not be able to install these modules the ubuntu way
[19:12] <DasEi> DivineEntity: resolv.conf is in order, hosts.deny/allow,  too
[19:12] <ubd> OK
[19:12] <ubd> TY
[19:13] <zaccour> i need to delete a file from my usb flash drive but there is not enough space on my system to do so. what do i do?
[19:13] <Jeruvy> charlesatlas: good stuff.  So it's not a drive issue, its a media issue.
[19:13] <The_Drizzle> Titan8990, I see. I guess that's the trade-off between ease of use and power/customizability
[19:13] <gordonjcp> how can I disable "low graphics mode"?
[19:13] <LjL> not enough space to *delete* a file? :o
[19:13] <Akkernight> does UTF-8 support '~' ?
[19:13] <DivineEntity> how about "netstat -rn"
[19:13] <charlesatlas> Jeruvy: I've tried 3 different CDRW and a DVD RW
[19:13] <Titan8990> The_Drizzle, exactly
[19:13] <alessandro_> scusate for italian?
[19:13] <gordonjcp> LjL: possibly .Trash is full
[19:13] <xray7224> to find out whats taking all the space to df /
[19:13] <LjL> Akkernight: what do you mean? it has that character, of course
[19:13] <LjL> !it | alessandro_
[19:14] <sebsebseb> !tab |  xray7224
[19:14] <hmw> Akkernight: you might have to press the ~ key and then [space]
[19:14] <cegopaiva> hi everyone
[19:14] <LjL> zaccour: tried using "rm"?
[19:14] <xray7224> shut up sebsebseb
[19:14] <s3r3n1t7> gordonjcp, you don't need to use trash for removing a file from an external media.
[19:14] <The_Drizzle> Titan8990, In that case, is it possible to easily build a module/driver for a new hardware item in ubuntu?
[19:14] <zaccour> LjL, whats rm?
[19:14] <cegopaiva> how can i compile my kernel in ubuntu 8.10?
[19:14] <LjL> zaccour: a CLI command to delete files
[19:14] <amitbk> Hello everybody, can someone help me with controlling my fan on my laptop?
[19:14] <s3r3n1t7> !kernel | cegopaiva
[19:14] <zaccour> Lj where do i find it?
[19:14] <gordonjcp> s3r3n1t7: but nautilus will create a trash folder, and if you try to delete it will really move it to the trash
[19:14] <homeskill> sebsebseb linux just said 'usb' when i plugged it in, but it's not showin any of the files on my card reader
[19:14] <zaccour> Lj whats cli?
[19:14] <LjL> !attitude | xray7224
[19:14] <xray7224> to delet commands via cli use rm or for folder rm -rf
[19:15] <LjL> !cli | zaccour
[19:15] <ubuntistas> how can convert oga file to mp3?
[19:15] <sebsebseb> homeskill: I don't know that much about USB devices under ubuntu
[19:15] <xray7224> LjL i know how to speak to poeple thanks
[19:15] <LjL> xray7224: no, quite clearly you don't, or you wouldn't tell someone who gave you a helpful factoid to "shut up" like that.
[19:15] <s3r3n1t7> gordonjcp, you don't need to use the trash. Open command line and move to the folder that has the file in question. Then it's ==> rm <file> <== to remove the file.
[19:15] <sebsebseb> LjL: don't worry about that one. I told this person to join actsaully
[19:15] <Akkernight> hmw, you were right, but why o.o?
[19:15] <xray7224> LjL: that depends if you know them or not
[19:16] <gordonjcp> s3r3n1t7: I'm not the one having the problem, and I'm well aware of how to use rm ;-)
[19:16] <sebsebseb> xray7224: don't argue with the op.  you came here to help others :)
[19:16] <sayuncle> hi all
[19:16] <zaccour> LjL, can you guide me through rm?
[19:16] <LjL> xray7224, sebsebseb: alright. still, i expect you to keep a decent attitude in this channel, you can joke with one another in PM
[19:16] <gordonjcp> s3r3n1t7: I'm the one having the "no graphics after replacing a graphics card with a nearly identical one" problem
[19:16] <geeksauce> can someone help me out with an external HFS+ hdd and ownership permissions?
[19:16] <LjL> zaccour: forget "rm" for the time being. can you open a terminal?
[19:16] <BarTriX> !kernel
[19:16] <zaccour> yes
[19:17] <zaccour> LjL, yes
[19:17] <xray7224> telling someone to shutup isnt exactly insultive anyway for arguments sake im gunna shutup
[19:17] <charlesatlas> Jeruvy: maybe brasero is not what I should be using?  It does not see the drive when I try to erase the dvd +RW
[19:17] <mrwes> listens in...
[19:17] <hmw> Akkernight: it is interpreted as an "additional" thingy to certain chars, like in spanish. same as the accents or the ^ sign. guess it depends on some conf, because on some linuxes, my ~ just comes without space
[19:17] <LjL> zaccour: type "df", and put the output of it into the pastebin please
[19:17] <deany> ive made a usb startup with the util provided in ubuntu, using a desktop iso, can i use an alternative iso too?
[19:17] <sayuncle> trying to remove a bad bootloader, its grub btw and replace it with a fresh grub....... pc wont load up my live ubuntu cd though, goes to grub and then boots into windows
[19:17] <gordonjcp> right, giving up, time to reinstall
[19:17] <Akkernight> hmw, I can type ~ without space in everything expect for Code::Blocks
[19:17] <The_Drizzle> Titan8990, Any resources you could point me to for compiling a new kernel module/driver in ubuntu?
[19:17] <s3r3n1t7> gordonjcp, if you're well aware on how to use rm then you should also know how to avoid using trash. If you've replaced your graphics card with a _nearly_ identical one you might want to check versions. They usually differ.
[19:18] <amitbk> Hello everybody, can someone help me with controlling my fan on my laptop?
[19:18] <The_Drizzle> Titan8990, All I'm really after is gettin gmy ralink wireless card working :P
[19:18] <hmw> Akkernight; No idea, guess you have to ask google for further info. Btw. What is Code::Blocks?
[19:18] <Titan8990> !wireless | The_Drizzle
[19:18] <zaccour> LjL, im gonna restart and brb
[19:18] <The_Drizzle> Titan8990, Right on. Thanks for your help
[19:18] <DasEi> ﻿sayuncle: did you set bios to boot from cd ?
[19:18] <Titan8990> The_Drizzle, that might require ndiswrapper, I don't know if it has native linux drivers
[19:18] <gordonjcp> s3r3n1t7: I'm not the one having problems deleting files from a memory stick.  I simply suggested that the reason whoever it was saw a message that there wasn't enough free space to delete a file was because it actually wanted to move it to .Trash
[19:19] <LjL> zaccour: if your HD is full, your system might not even restart properly
[19:19] <LjL> gah
[19:19] <Titan8990> The_Drizzle, but ndiswrapper should always be a last resort
[19:19] <gordonjcp> s3r3n1t7: why the hell are you bugging *me* about .Trash?  Didn't you read the rest of the conversation?
[19:19] <The_Drizzle> Titan8990, I think it does have native drivers since 2.6.26 or so
[19:19] <Titan8990> The_Drizzle, also, check the restricted driver manager
[19:19] <s3r3n1t7> gordonjcp, because your statement was wrong.
[19:19] <gordonjcp> s3r3n1t7: no, it was not wrong
[19:19] <hmw> bullgard4: falls du den befehl noch nicht kennen solltest, probier mal smbtree
[19:19] <DivineEntity> kill each other !
[19:19] <The_Drizzle> Titan8990, I just need to build it against the right kernel headers, right?
[19:20] <s3r3n1t7> gordonjcp, a memory stick does not have a trash. Thus a file can't be moved to .Trash, not from nautilus either.
[19:20] <sayuncle> das ei yes i did
[19:20] <mrwes> s3r3n1t7, mine does
[19:20] <gordonjcp> s3r3n1t7: and yet I'm looking at a memory stick *right now* with a .Trash directory on it
[19:20] <gordonjcp> s3r3n1t7: so where did that come from?
[19:20] <sayuncle> DasEi yes i did
[19:20] <mrwes> gordonjcp, I agress...my stick has a .trash with files and info
[19:21] <gordonjcp> s3r3n1t7: and, curiously enough, if I "delete" stuff in nautilus, they magically reappear in .Trash
[19:21] <DasEi> ﻿sayuncle: why won't it boot the cd ? bad/dirty ?
[19:21] <sayuncle> its a problem with grub, i need to remove it and reinstall ubuntu
[19:21] <sayuncle> cd is fine
[19:21] <s3r3n1t7> gordonjcp, then you've formatted it with a filesystem other then fat, which is what any preformatted stick comes with.
[19:21] <gordonjcp> s3r3n1t7: nope, this is using vfat
[19:21] <DasEi> ﻿sayuncle: so can you boot live or not ?
[19:21] <zaccour> LjL, im back
[19:21] <sayuncle> no cant
[19:21] <zaccour> LjL, whats that command again?
[19:21] <gordonjcp> s3r3n1t7: just to prove the point I have just taken a brand new 4GB USB stick out of the plastic and put it on my laptop
[19:21] <s3r3n1t7> gordonjcp, good luck finding a .Trash. Not going to continue this discussion with a yes/no
[19:22] <gordonjcp> s3r3n1t7: good, please stop discussing it.  You're just plain wrong.
[19:22] <ShinyHat> can someone help me be able to play media on vlc from a windows network?
[19:22] <DasEi> ﻿sayuncle:can't you boot any cd ?
[19:22] <zaccour> how do i remove files from my usb flash drive without using trash?
[19:22] <user___> ShinyHat: hmm, can you tell us a bit more? thanks!
[19:22] <sayuncle> once it attempts to boot ubuntu, grub loads and says restording or restting bot
[19:22] <sayuncle> and then vista kicks in
[19:23] <LjL> zaccour: "df"
[19:23] <zaccour> ok
[19:23] <DasEi>  !samba | ShinyHat
[19:23] <sayuncle> and yes it will boot other disks, but none of my linux disks
[19:23] <LjL> zaccour: pastebin the output of that command
[19:23] <mrwes> zaccour, from nautilus, you can highlite the files, hold down the shift key and hit delete -- bypasses the trash
[19:23] <zaccour> LjL,  should i pastebin it?
[19:23] <s3r3n1t7> gordonjcp, there's no need to have the last word. This is just a plain yes/no discussion and there is no way out of it other then just to stop it. None of my sticks have a .Trash on it, yours do. Great for you, have fun with it. Now stop it, thank you.
[19:23] <zaccour> oh ok
[19:23] <AZP> hola
[19:23] <LjL> zaccour: yes please
[19:23] <DasEi>  !nfs | ShinyHat
[19:23] <LjL> mrwes: right, but let's do one thing at a time - since i suspect her main HD might be full, which is a Bad Thing (tm)
[19:24] <ShinyHat> ubuntu intrepid on laptop, xp on desktop, sharing is set up and i can see the media
[19:24] <theshadow> Ok for some reason apt-get --purge remove apache2 isn't removing anything I'm trying to completely wipe and it and reinstall because the upgrade from 7.10 -> 8.04 appears to have foobard a few thigns.
[19:24] <mrwes> LjL, gotcha
[19:24] <DasEi> ﻿sayuncle:if you can boot a cd, it won't touch the hd..
[19:24] <sayuncle> yes
[19:24] <brundisium> ciao
[19:24] <giorgos> Does anyone knows how to run a movieclip in multiple windows cuncurrently?
[19:25] <brundisium> !list
[19:25] <LjL> !it | brundisium
[19:25] <sayuncle> i can boot myvista disk
[19:25] <user___> ShinyHat: so what doesnt work?
[19:25] <sayuncle> i need to create a new bootloader
[19:25] <zaccour> LjL, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m158befac
[19:25] <gordonjcp> s3r3n1t7: then stop sticking your oar in
[19:25] <mrwes> drwx------  4 bill root 16384 2008-10-29 15:29 .Trash-1000 <---- that's from my USB drive
[19:25] <giorgos> Does anyone knows how to run a movieclip in multiple windows cuncurrently?
[19:25] <meteor> :(
[19:26] <LjL> gordonjcp, s3r3n1t7: stop quarrelling now.
[19:26] <user___> giorgos: you could try to start the player from the commandline 2 times
[19:26] <hmw> ShinyHat - sometimes it wont work until you "mounted" the share before accessing it for video playback - just browse to the regarding share via the network, so that the icon of the share appears on the desktop, then video playback should work
[19:26] <ShinyHat> uuser___: i can see all the media files, and when dbl clicking they open vlc, but then nothing happens
[19:26] <LjL> zaccour: ok so none of your drives are full, which means i really cannot understand why it doesn't let you delete
[19:26] <meteor> how well does songbird run on ubuntu?
[19:26] <Newbuntu> Giorgos do yo mean on the same screen?
[19:26] <ShinyHat> hmw: icon is on the desktop
[19:26] <gordonjcp> is there a better channel for asking about x.org problem
[19:26] <gordonjcp> s
[19:26] <user___> ShinyHat: ok, so you have no debug  message. to get one just start vlc from the command line and open the media file
[19:27] <amitbk> Guys, I need some help regarding my fan on my laptop
 yes this is a way. I had in mind something like the multivideo in elive, if you know.
[19:27] <zaccour> because i have an 8 gb hard drive there isnt enough space on my system
[19:27] <LjL> zaccour: try doing "touch /media/disk/testfile" and tell me what it tells you
[19:27] <LjL> zaccour: but you're not deleting a file which is 8 gb big, are you?
[19:27] <amitbk> as it doesn't detect the temp of the CPU it just start working some times, and doesn't stop.
[19:27] <hmw> ShinyHat - but it still won't do? and it plays local files without problems?
[19:27] <ShinyHat> user___: any special command?
[19:27] <zaccour> no, its on a flash drive
[19:27] <geoaxis> any one using ubuntu 64 bit here? i am really annoyed with poor firefox performance
[19:27] <LjL> zaccour: right but i mean, is it particularly big?
[19:27] <ShinyHat> hmw: local files are problem free
[19:27] <user___> ShinyHat: no, just 'vlc $media-file' for now
 yes in the same screen, and plays the same time cuncurrent!
[19:27] <geoaxis> mainly due to 64 bit flash
[19:28] <zaccour> LjL, yes there is not enough room on my system to put it in trash
[19:28] <sebsebseb> geoaxis: Flash 10 64bit?
[19:28] <ajhais> anyone knows how to speedup debian packages downloading....?? like multi-threading may be
[19:28] <erUSUL> geoaxis: no complains about firefox here
[19:28] <amitbk> is this the right channel to ask about the temp sensor and the fan on my laptop? :)
[19:28] <LjL> zaccour: that's the error that it gives you, alright - but i'm not willing to just believe it's true unless you can CONFIRM that the file is very big
[19:28] <geoaxis> sebsebseb:  i think it uses npviewer.bin
[19:28] <LjL> amitbk: if you're on ubuntu and would like to know how to access the sensor/fan information, yes
[19:28] <zaccour> LjL, its an iso
[19:29] <theshadow> seriously. why isn't apt-get remove --purge apache2 completely removing the package?
[19:29] <sebsebseb> geoaxis: Flash  is closed source, so  if you get issues with it, not much that can be done.  also Ubuntu's version of Firefox is unoffical
[19:29] <LjL> amitbk: although there is also an #ubuntu-laptop channel that might help
[19:29] <geoaxis> but i had 32 bit ubuntu for 8.4, never had any problem..
[19:29] <LjL> zaccour: a CD ISO or a DVD ISO?
[19:29] <Newbuntu> GIO: Mind if i ask for what purpose?
[19:29] <mrwes> theshadow, use apt-get autoremove package
[19:29] <zaccour> LjL, dvd iso
[19:29] <gordonjcp> !lowgraphics
[19:29] <zaccour> LjL, almost 4 gb
[19:29] <amitbk> LjL: It looks a little dead on the -laptop channel
[19:29] <LjL> zaccour: alright, then it might indeed be to big
[19:29] <gordonjcp> does anyone know how to disable "low graphics mode"?
[19:29] <zaccour> LjL, thats why im here
[19:29] <amitbk> LjL: do you think you could help me with that?
[19:29] <geoaxis> sebsebseb:  agreed, but i just wonder what happened to a sane browser from 8.4, it's unbearable in 8.10
[19:29] <LjL> zaccour: try doing what mrwes said, i.e. select the file, and then hit Del *while* also keeping Shift pressed
[19:30] <LjL> amitbk: i don't know, maybe, explain your issue
[19:30] <mrwes> wh00p!
[19:30] <mrwes> heh
[19:30] <sebsebseb> geoaxis: go use another browser?  loads of good ones to choose from
[19:30] <ShinyHat> user___: anything in particular i should be looking for?
[19:30] <geoaxis> i have chromium-browser from daily builds and much better
[19:30] <DasEi> further ideas on that ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/135027/
[19:30] <amitbk> there is no detection of my CPU temperature
[19:30] <sebsebseb> geoaxis: or try the latest 3.1 beta from Mozilla?
[19:30] <geoaxis> but does not have flash :(
[19:30] <steevz> Anyone else here using Maya 8.5 in Ubunutu?
[19:30] <gordonjcp> I don't know why I bother, no-one ever answers questions in here
[19:30] <deany> no probs with FF here.. even with 6 plugins, nice.
[19:30] <LjL> zaccour: i know that's why you're here, but i simply won't just believe a "not enough space" error prima face without making sure it's not giving the WRONG error
[19:30] <theshadow> mrwes: yea thats not working. I remove the package and go and reinstall and its not restoring /etc/apache2 to the default state
[19:30] <geoaxis> sebsebseb:  tried that too ...no love..it keeps crashing
[19:30] <user___> ShinyHat: you can pastebin the output if you want and we take a look at it
[19:31] <user___> !pastebin | ShinyHat
[19:31] <MNichie_home> My system wont start up in graphics mode, I've tried reconfiguring xserver and manually starting x but nothing is working, anybody have any ideas?
[19:31] <amitbk> LjL: so my fan starts working when something, i guess the hardware, tells it to. and doesn't stop.
[19:31] <geoaxis> my pidgin is also crashing more and more ..and its getting worse
[19:31] <zaccour> LjL, thanks man
[19:31] <ShinyHat> hmw: ok, cool
[19:31] <LjL> gordonjcp: i'm sorry but i don't even know what a "low graphics mode" is, must have been something they added to newer versions that i'm not using
[19:31] <gordonjcp> LjL: which version are you using?
[19:31] <LjL> amitbk: laptop brand and model?
[19:31] <sebsebseb> geoaxis: ok on 32bit  Flash  crashed a lot on 8.10.  ,but now I am on 9.04 alpha6, and well I had interesting crash last night to do with FLash and Firefox I thought, but it was differnet  this time round.  but anyway.   Flash 10  was there and working nicely today.   I had run 8.10  without FLash since last year
[19:31] <brad__> what is the best way to debug a kernel panic when booting from the 8.10 and 9.04 cds?
[19:31] <LjL> gordonjcp: Kubuntu Hardy
[19:31] <zaccour> mrwes, thanks
[19:31] <geoaxis> i am not really sure as to why ...perhaps with an empty user profile it would be better, just want to know if any one else is experiencing it
[19:31] <mrwes> theshadow, hrmm...try synaptic manager and when you hightlight the package choose complete removal
[19:31] <zaccour> LjL, it worked
[19:31] <gordonjcp> LjL: I'm using Ubuntu Hardy
[19:31] <deany> geoaxis, getdeb.net is your friend
[19:31] <zaccour> yeehaw
[19:32] <sebsebseb> geoaxis:  Firefox and Flash  =  Firefox crash, for some of us
[19:32] <mrwes> zaccour, nod...your welcome
[19:32] <zaccour> im using alpha
[19:32] <sebsebseb> geoaxis: every other app would be fine for me
[19:32] <LjL> gordonjcp: ok so what exactly is this low graphics mode? i've never encountered it
[19:32] <theshadow> mrwes: this is a server not a desktop
[19:32] <gordonjcp> LjL: basically it runs a crappy X display in 640x480 if it fails to start X, rather than just dropping back to console
[19:32] <DasEi> brad__: take a look in /var/log/syslog
[19:32] <mrwes> theshadow, figures :)
[19:32] <gordonjcp> LjL: and it's making troubleshooting my X problems very very difficult
[19:32] <zaccour> i had to use alpha to get my wired internet to work
[19:32] <brad__> DasEi: I am getting the kernel panic from the livecd
[19:32] <mrwes> theshadow, then rm the files manually
[19:32] <LjL> gordonjcp: well, you can drop to a console by doing "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop"
[19:32] <brad__> DasEi: so I never can ever get to the installer to install
[19:32] <deany> remove pidgin, purple and libpurple, and your .purple folder in home folder, install latest from getdeb
[19:33] <theshadow> mrwes: I did. but installing apache isn't restoring the files
[19:33] <sebsebseb> geoaxis: you should try other browsers, loads of good ones to choose from
[19:33] <DasEi>  !bootopitions | brad__
[19:33] <gordonjcp> LjL: yes, but I don't want to have to keep doing that every time I try to start X and it doesn't work
[19:33] <amitbk> LjL: Toshiba Satellite S-6898
[19:33] <DasEi>  !bootopitons | brad__
[19:33] <brad__> DasEi: I tried a bunch of boot options
[19:33] <gordonjcp> LjL: I'm beginning to think I just need to wipe and reinstall
[19:33] <brad__> DasEi: and each time it still paniced
[19:33] <geoaxis> sebsebseb:  i always come crawling back to FF due to extensions :)
[19:33] <LjL> gordonjcp: try starting it with "startx" instead of letting GDM start it - i suspect that will bypass the low graphics mode thingie
[19:33] <sebsebseb> geoaxis: ok I have an idea
[19:33] <amitbk> LjL: well, A-305 S6898
[19:33] <mrwes> theshadow, did you ask over in #ubuntu-server -- the dead channel? heh
[19:33] <DasEi> brad__: checked the cd ?
[19:33] <brad__> yes
[19:33] <brad__> I md5ed the iso
[19:33] <tuxtox> i just install ubuntu 8.1 on an acer 5335.  I also install 8.1 on a different acer 5335.  The first time I installed the wireless worked without any updates.  the second time the wireless did not work.  whats up?
[19:34] <brad__> and the disk itself, and they match the checksum on the website
[19:34] <sebsebseb> geoaxis: put Flash block on in  Firefox the add on yeah.  and then you can  run  Mozilla's  Flash plugin no problem in other browsers that  use it such as, Epiphany, Galeon, and Seamonkey
[19:34] <DasEi> brad__: there also is a boot-choice check media
[19:34] <brad__> I am pretty sure it isn't the media
[19:34] <sebsebseb> geoaxis: and then you can use Firefox for other stuff
[19:34] <DasEi> brad__: what a machine are you using ?
[19:34] <brad__> by the time it panics, the keyboard leds blink, and there is no way to debug it find out what went wrong
[19:34] <brad__> hp 530j
[19:34] <sebsebseb> geoaxis: basically make it so you can use that FLash, but  not in Firefox only other browsers
[19:35] <geoaxis> sebsebseb:  let me try
[19:35] <brad__> 8.04 boots fine
[19:35] <brad__> which is what I am using now
[19:35] <sebsebseb> geoaxis: I think the add on is called Flash block or something like that.  you will find one I expect
[19:35] <brad__> so something changed between 8.04 -> 8.10 -> 9.04
[19:35] <mrwes> theshadow, you try this?     sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename
[19:35] <ShinyHat> user___: sorry it took so long, first time doing that :)  http://paste.ubuntu.com/135032/
[19:35] <LjL> amitbk: do you think this might be relevant? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/226397
[19:35] <gordonjcp> LjL: yeah, that helps it
[19:35] <user___> ShinyHat: dont worry ;-)
[19:35] <bonhoffer> i forgot my user password -- how do i reset?
[19:36] <bey0ndall> I have been dual-booting ubuntu 8.10 from an external hard drive, as my vista is rather destroyed. =X I have decided that I'd prefer to install Ubuntu as my main OS so that I don't have to boot from my external hard drive. I know how to go about doing this, but my only question is if there is a way to install my external hard drive Ubuntu (to keep settings, apps, etc), or if there is a way to import settings and files once a new ubuntu is installed on 
[19:36] <theshadow> yep
[19:36] <theshadow> mrwes: yes
[19:36] <zaccour> are there any other distros that work as well and easy as ubuntu?
[19:36] <LjL> bonhoffer: what version?
[19:36] <tuxtox> I just installed 8.1 on an acer 5335 and the wireless does not work.  But I just installed 8.1 on a different acer 5335 and it worked from a fresh install.  Same install disk.  Is there a way to enable wireless?
[19:36] <LjL> !offtopic | zaccour
[19:37] <mrwes> relief
[19:37] <user___> ShinyHat: you need to replace $media-file with one of your media files ($media-file is a place holder only)
[19:37] <charlesatlas> zaccour: Mint is good.  An offshoot of Ubuntu though.
[19:37] <XP|USB|XP|526903> hey
[19:37] <XP|USB|XP|526903> do want to chat with me
[19:37] <ShinyHat> user___: ok, but local files work fine
[19:37] <LjL> !chat | XP|USB|XP|526903
[19:37] <sebsebseb> geoaxis: then  do this :)   sudo apt-get install  epiphany-browser  galeon seamonkey
[19:37] <Bruce> how do i install tcl libraries in ubuntu?
[19:38] <LjL> err, not the factoid i wanted to give, but this channel is not for chat, XP|USB|XP|526903
[19:38] <amitbk> LjL: it sounds similar, but as I get no temperature detection for the CPU here, i don't know if it's the same.
[19:38] <user___> ShinyHat: we were talking about remote files, right?
[19:38] <ShinyHat> user___: would a local file yeild anything useful
[19:38] <tuxtox> I just installed 8.1 on an acer 5335 and the wireless does not work.  But I just installed 8.1 on a different acer 5335 and it worked from a fresh install.  Same install disk.  Is there a way to enable wireless?
[19:38] <ShinyHat> user___: where in the file system do i find the mounted shared folder?
[19:38] <deany> bey0ndall, backup your home folder, and reinstall, with seperate /home and install the same apps, howtoforge has guide for saving your package list..the restore your home
[19:38] <LjL> amitbk: are you sure you have no temperature detection? laptops usually do, you can probably see it from ACPI or by installing "lm-sensors". anyway, a workaround i can think of is installing the "toshset" package, which will let you control the fan manually on Toshiba laptops
[19:39] <mrwes> ShinyHat, maybe /media ?
[19:39] <mitesh> !jaunty
[19:39] <ShinyHat> mrwes: not there, first place i looked
[19:39] <brad__> so is there anything else I can do to debug a kernel panic from the livecd?
[19:40] <deany> cant be that much breakage between NOW and april.. :)
[19:40] <user___> ShinyHat /mnt?
[19:40] <mrwes> ShinyHat, shared as in samba share?
[19:40] <LjL> deany: it can be
[19:40] <tuxtox> I just installed 8.1 on an acer 5335 and the wireless does not work.  But I just installed 8.1 on a different acer 5335 and it worked from a fresh install.  Same install disk.  Is there a way to enable wireless?
[19:40] <ShinyHat> mrwes: probably, im not sure
[19:40] <bey0ndall> Thanks deany
[19:40] <deany> april is 5mins away..
[19:40] <ShinyHat> user___: not in /mnt either
[19:41] <sebsebseb> deany: no it's not
[19:41] <amitbk> Ljl: i installed lm-sensors as I didn't have the temp reading with intrepid after i installed it. see what i get now: http://pastebin.com/m2605a495
[19:41] <user___> mrwes: what do you suggest? ;-)
[19:41] <deany> not far away.....
[19:41] <mrwes> ShinyHat, a samba share from another computer? if so, you need to look in the /etc/samba/smb.conf and see where/what's shared
[19:41] <LjL> deany: no, it's ten days away, and a lot of things can break in ten days.
[19:41] <sebsebseb> deany: yep and the final release is on like 23rd Aprli
[19:41] <user___> ShinyHat: 'mount' might help us
[19:42] <deany> lol.. well that changes things
[19:42] <deany> ok, its got a long way yet
[19:42] <LjL> amitbk: alright, so acpi isn't helping... anyway give toshset a try, you could always perhaps set it on crontab to turn the fan off every couple of minutes
[19:42] <sebsebseb> deany: yep and this  alpha6 is not that impressive, altough I  have come across two imporvements to Gnome that I like a lot :)
[19:42] <mrwes> ShinyHat, here's my samba shares mounted: //192.168.1.101/MyFiles on /home/bill/SharedFiles type cifs (rw,mand)
[19:42] <epaphus> hello all.... Iam trying to install Ubuntu 8.10 on my USB flash drivel... it finished the install fine.. but when I try to boot from the USB it says "No active partition" ... anybody have any idea why this happens?
[19:43] <deany> epaphus, set it active
[19:43] <tuxtox> I just installed 8.1 on an acer 5335 and the wireless does not work.  But I just installed 8.1 on a different acer 5335 and it worked from a fresh install.  Same install disk.  Is there a way to enable wireless?
[19:43] <mrwes> epaphus, did you flag the partition as 'boot' ?
[19:43] <amitbk> LjL: do you think there might be a way to get the lm-sensors to properly detect the CPU temp? after all I would like the fan to work when needed, and not just manually start and stop it...
[19:44] <epaphus> deany, how? .. mrwes .. i just did the general install from ubuntu 8.10... i think it should have done this automatically right?
[19:44] <ShinyHat> mrwes: hopefully you guys will be here in a bit, i need to go take care of something- brb
[19:44] <mrwes> ShinyHat, get me a beer while you're at it will ya?
[19:44] <deany> epaphus, check with fdisk -l
[19:44] <mrwes> heh
[19:44] <deany> is there an * there
[19:44] <spamjam> hi, just a quick question. i have intrepid and have compizconfig installed. under the windows decoration menu, the command is /usr/bin/compiz-decorator. is this the default window manager for intrepid? i thought it was metacity?
[19:44] <epaphus> deany, how do I do that if I cannot enter the OS?
[19:45] <tuxtox> i dont mean to be pushy, but can any one see my messages?
[19:45] <mrwes> sudo fdisk -l
[19:45] <LjL> amitbk: well, you should run "sudo sensors-detect" to get lm-sensors to work. but even then, that just gives you temperature *readings*, it won't control your fan (there used to be a script included to do that, but it wasn't reliable so it was removed)
[19:46] <amitbk> LjL: so what controls the fan in laptops running ubuntu?
[19:46] <DasEi>  !patience | tuxtox
[19:46] <tuxtox> can
[19:46] <tuxtox> you
[19:46] <tuxtox> sorry
[19:46] <hmw> tuxtox: sometimes network manager wont work with certain chips. you can try removing network manager and installing wicd instead. Seems to help often.
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[19:46] <mrwes> ActionJackson!
[19:46] <mrwes> heh
[19:46] <tuxtox> hmw what is weird is that I have 2 of the exact same computers, and the same install disk, and one worked and one did not.
[19:47] <mrwes> tuxtox, different cards maybe? you check lspci to see ?
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> tuxtox: fsck the drive and check the ram is healthy
[19:47] <bonhoffer> i want to ssh to my server without typing a password -- via ssh keys
[19:47] <bonhoffer> any tutorial?
[19:48] <Daniel_G> bonhoffer: google has a billion tutorials on that
[19:48] <hmw> tuxtox: although it seems weird, it isn't. I bought 2 packages of usb wireless adaptors, and they werent the same hardware, which couldnt be told from the packaging or the description. They use, what is just available, for making their hardware. Even on the same series you can have different chips. Try looking, what you have with lsusb or lspci
[19:48] <mrwes> bonhoffer, via nautilus or terminal ?
[19:48] <epaphus> deany, how do I do that if I cannot enter the OS?
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> bonhoffer: http://linuxproblem.org/art_9.html
[19:48] <tuxtox> actionparsnip it says running fsck could cause huge damage
[19:49] <bonhoffer> mrwes: terminal
[19:49] <ninom> hello everyone. i have this weird problem. i cant see in any window thats open close minimize buttons on top. not in my mozzila not in pidgin not in any program, minimize and close buttons are missing. anyone know how can i solve this?
[19:49] <spamjam> what's the default window manager for intrepid?
[19:49] <deany> epaphus, you made the thing from an os
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> tuxtox: depends on the options you use
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> tuxtox: if the drive isnt healthy it will need replacing
[19:49] <epaphus> deany, i dont understand you sorry.. iam going to boot from a rescue cd.. so i can run fdis
[19:50] <mrwes> ActionParsnip, just posted a link on that ^^^^
[19:50] <jamil_1> is there a media player in ubuntu that shows a bar for streaming (as in Windows media player or for flash player on youtube)    ?
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> spamjam: metacity
[19:50] <deany> epaphus, ok
[19:51] <ninom> can anyone help. all close, minimize buttons on each program thats open are missing. i am running ubuntu 8.04
[19:51] <amitbk> LjL: any idea?
[19:51] <spamjam> ActionParsnip: thank you. i have compizconfig installed and the command under the window decoration menu says /usr/bin/compiz-decorator. how can i change this to be the default window manager for intrepid?
[19:51] <mrwes> !titlebar
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> ninom: are you running compiz?
[19:51] <tuxtox> i ran lspci on both boxes and they are the same
[19:51] <ninom> yes running compiz
[19:51] <McQueen> hi, i installed vista to my first partition... then i have got lilo problem... the vista running automaticly, how can i run ubuntu. i tried to boot from ubuntu installation cd. but i couldnt find rescue option... how can i start ubuntu?
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> spamjam: metacity --replace
[19:52] <ActionParsnip> ninom: its a compiz glitch, head into #compiz
[19:52] <ActionParsnip> ninom: use alt + drag to move windows
[19:52] <ninom> i ll just uninstall compiz
[19:52] <ninom> i dont need it
[19:52] <lyhana8> hi, how coul I rip a Blu-ray disc ?

[19:52] <Snicks|TWw> McQueen, which OS is first installed? your ubuntu?
[19:52] <ninom> thanks
[19:52] <shane8002> anybody out there used a sprint sierra 598u aircard in ubuntu
[19:52] <deany> ninom, fusion-icon  easy way to switch between emerald and gtk for themes, and compiz on/off
[19:52] <Jeruvy> !ot | lyhana8

[19:55] <B4RR13N705> just a question
[19:55] <bromic94> ?
[19:55] <B4RR13N705> how do i put a folder in the gdesklet starterbar?
[19:55] <musikgoat|main> !jaunty | bromic94

[19:56] <deany> does the external one have an *
[19:56] <deany> like, sdb1
[19:56] <B4RR13N705>  how do i put a folder in the gdesklet starterbar?
[19:56] <deany> * under "boot" i might add
[19:56] <cached> how can i find out if i have one or two sticks of ram in my laptop, and if just one, whether or not i have an additional port open?
[19:57] <shane8002> Alt+F2 and type in "update-manager -d"
[19:57] <musikgoat|main> sudo
[19:57] <Jeruvy> cached: I'm not positive about ram, but try 'sudo lshw'
[19:58] <nmanoogian> hello
[19:58] <musikgoat|main> oops wrong window
[19:58] <corinth> Is it possible to upgrade to the new GNOME release from Intrepid?
[19:58] <ActionParsnip> corinth: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[19:58] <meteor> how well does songbird run on ubuntu?
[19:58] <sebsebseb> corinth: easier and better to  just stay with the version you get in Ubuntu
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> corinth: if its not installed you will need an extra repo adding, or compile source
[19:59] <cached> Jeruvy: thanks! that did it
[19:59] <corinth> ActionParsnip: What repo?
[19:59] <deany> meteor, would run better with an EQ...
[19:59] <sebsebseb> corinth: or you can get the 9.04 alpha6 for later stuff,  but  a few bugs
[19:59] <Jeruvy> cached: awesome!
[19:59] <Stevethe1irate>  Anyone got an idea for me to merge multiple SOCKS-over-ssh-proxies into a single one?
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> corinth: not sure, you'll have to hunt around
[20:00] <glenrock> what does gnome use to do its font hinting?  can it be narrowed down to a single package or app?
[20:00] <Stevethe1irate> x
[20:00] <Stevethe1irate> Soz, DC'ed
[20:00] <Stevethe1irate>  Anyone got an idea for me to merge multiple SOCKS-over-ssh-proxies into a single one?
[20:01] <orangey> hey all!
[20:01] <orangey> I messed up my modules.. how do I reinstall them?
[20:01] <dayo> !hi | orangey
[20:01] <orangey> i.e., which package?
[20:01] <hmw> Stevethe1irate - afaik, you can only activate one port per ssh instance
[20:01] <orangey> I don't seen an obvious "modules" package.
[20:02] <dayo> which modules?
[20:02] <gordonjcp> sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda
[20:02] <orangey> dayo: usbhid
[20:02] <gordonjcp> oops, miswindonw
[20:02] <orangey> dayo: I was trying to compile in forcefeedback.
[20:02] <rww> !danger | gordonjcp
[20:02] <gordonjcp> yes yes
[20:03] <Jeruvy> Stevethe1irate: hmw is right, but I have heard of products that may do that.  Sorry I don't know off hand.
[20:03] <Stevethe1irate> hmw: Yeah. I have 10 sequential tunnels
[20:03] <Stevethe1irate> ports 10000 -> 10010
[20:03] <gordonjcp> nobody run that command, and also make sure you type it in the right terminal
[20:03] <dayo> orangey: never heard of it, sorry
[20:03] <rvaras> hi, is it possible to set the root management like the Debian way? I mean, having a password for the root user and a different one for a regular user?
[20:03] <Stevethe1irate> I want to make a common port [praps via squid or something] that uses all of the uplinks equally.
[20:03] <irbdavid> life in 1024x600 is not as simple as I'd have hoped :(
[20:03] <orangey> dayo: It's a bit beside the point.
[20:03] <orangey> I just want to reinstall the generic set of modules.
[20:03] <musikgoat|main> rvaras: short answer, no
[20:03] <andrews> Lately I have been noticing that when I right click on a file or folder it will open it without giving me the properties window has anyone else seen this or is this just me?
[20:03] <gordonjcp> rww: you're right of course, it should have bs=512 at the end
[20:03] <Stevethe1irate> So like load balancing over socks proxies.
[20:04] <ActionParsnip> rvaras: you dont need root, nor should you
[20:04] <ActionParsnip> !root | rvaras
[20:04] <rvaras> I am the owner of the notebook ;)
[20:04] <Jeruvy> andrews: it could be due to the cursor position on the first item in the right-click menu, I do that also.
[20:04] <deany> rvaras, why
[20:04] <rww> rvaras: using a root account instead of sudo is not supported by this channel. If you want to figure out how to do it, you're on your own.
[20:04] <gordonjcp> rvaras: don't set a root password
[20:04] <rww> !noroot
[20:05] <Deevz> is there a way to make the sticky notes not hide when I click on my desktop?
[20:05] <rodolfo> hola a todos
[20:05] <rvaras> deany, I'm kind of coming back from suse
[20:05] <the93D> hi, Is there an ubuntu beta for 9.04 yet?
[20:05] <ActionParsnip> orangey: assuming you are using the latest intrepid kernel    sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-7-generic
[20:05] <ActionParsnip> the93D: thursday its out
[20:05] <sebsebseb> the93D: no still on alpha6
[20:05] <ShinyHat> brings mrwes an ice cold beer
[20:06] <deany> rvaras, you shouldnt and dont need to set a pass for root
[20:06] <Jeruvy> Stevethe1irate: hmm that gave me a thought that maybe you could implement this via the router instead of the computer...especially if it supports session management.
[20:06] <tyg13> When I try to open a terminal in Ubuntu, all it displays is white, but I can still use it. I just can't see anything. How can I fix this?
[20:06] <MasterPa> hey, can anyone tell me how to make a user only see his own homedirectory instead of everything?
[20:06] <orangey> ActionParsnip: that includes restricted and non-restricted modules?
[20:06] <dayo> orangey: try this:  dpkg --configure -a
[20:06]  * gordonjcp listens to 320GB of zeros being written to disk
[20:06] <gordonjcp> MasterPa: you can't
[20:06] <gordonjcp> MasterPa: for a very simple and obvious reason
[20:06] <orangey> dayo: Doesn't that walk me through reconfiguring *everything*?
[20:06] <the93D> ActionParsnip, hmm.. I see. Thanks. The reason is I need a native install of ubuntu, but 8.10 doesnt work on my laptop because the nvidia card is too new and the kernel doesn't seem to support it.
[20:06] <MasterPa> I can't restrict him on is own homedir?
[20:06] <andrews> Jeruvy: Probably so, it does seem like it is selecting the what the cursor is over but I don't understand why it just started doing that for me.  It's like it got way more sensitive.
[20:06] <the93D> and I wanted something to work with, especially with GSoC coming up
[20:06] <rvaras> deany, so suse works a different way like having a separate password if you wish, and that way it worked fine for me.  Fedora and openSUSE let you do it, why you say I dont need it for ubuntu?
[20:07] <gordonjcp> MasterPa: what would happen if your user was restricted from /bin ?
[20:07] <deany> MasterPa, he is restricted to his home... priveledge wise
[20:07] <dayo> orangey: everything that's not configured or broken
[20:07] <MasterPa> but he can see more deany
[20:07] <deany> write priv that is
[20:07] <orangey> dayo: Nothing is broken.
[20:07] <hmw> rvaras: yes it is possible, but usually not needed. sudo -i gets you to root without activating the root account. It is possible, that a simple typo can destroy your system, so youre on your own, if you use it.
[20:07] <orangey> dayo: maybe a better question is: How do I find out which package a particular file is in?
[20:07] <deany> so what if he can see more.. he cant affect anything.
[20:07] <gordonjcp> MasterPa: if your user couldn't see /bin/ what would happen?
[20:07] <Jeruvy> andrews: most likely the mouse and timing, but for me it isn't worth troubleshooting.  Bigger fish to fry :)  If I use a mouse with a higher resolution I don't notice it as often.  Perhaps someone else has more ideas.
[20:08] <MasterPa> I don't know gordonjcp
[20:08] <deany> do you want to hide other home folders from him?
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> orangey: yeah should be ok
[20:08] <MasterPa> yes deany
[20:08] <dayo> orangey: check the man pages for apt-get and aptitude
[20:08] <MasterPa> I would like to hide / from him, so he can only see his home :D
[20:08] <gordonjcp> MasterPa: well, what do you suppose would happen if you weren't allowed to read, say, /usr/bin and you wanted to run firefox?
[20:08] <rvaras> OK thanks
[20:09] <deany> hiding / from him serves no purpose, as he has no rights to make/remove files/folders from it...
[20:09] <MasterPa> gordonjcp, I wasn't clear. I've got a ubuntu server and I would like a user to have access to his own homedir so he can changes files in there
[20:09] <andrews> Jeruvy: I do have pretty old mouse
[20:09] <gordonjcp> MasterPa: you can do that
[20:09] <MasterPa> okey :D
[20:10] <gordonjcp> MasterPa: but the user must still be able to see other files in the filesystem, otherwise none of the programs will work
[20:10]  * MasterPa is a n00b on ubuntu server
[20:10] <orangey> Anybody know off-hand how to search for which package contains a particular file?
[20:10] <MasterPa> well, okey
[20:10] <MasterPa> I'll try
[20:10] <Sibert|TWw> http://www.freshports.org/x11-clocks/gdesklets-countdown/ --> none of that commends work
[20:10] <rww> orangey: second search box on http://packages.ubuntu.com/ , or apt-file
[20:10] <xtknight> orangey, http://packages.ubuntu.com  has the feature.

[20:15] <MrSunshine> im experiencing EXTREMLEY poor io performance in ubuntu, what can this be due to ? ..been poor in other distros alsob ut ubuntu takes the grand price
[20:15] <martiiin> Nice, also I would like to get some themes. Anyone know where? =)
[20:15] <MrSunshine> where even movies lag sometimes as soon as something happends on the disk (downloading something for example)
[20:15] <hmw> MrSunshine: my ubuntu 8.10 is about 10% slower (in terms of visible speed) than my fedora 10.
[20:15] <musikgoat|main> !themes | martiiin
[20:15] <Jeruvy> martiiin: gnome-look.org is one such place
[20:16] <Jeruvy> MrSunshine: are you using ext2 or ext3 or something else?  just curious, I've noticed similar.

[20:17] <servo888> So I want to uninstall gnome, I'm thinking about running apt-get remove gnome*, from the looks of it, that's the right thing to do. It should get rid of packages I don't want... Any suggestions on the proper way to remove the majority of gnome files?
[20:17] <FloodBot3> MrSunshine: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:17] <MrSunshine> been using that efore also, its the last like year performance of linux has become worse and worse
[20:17] <orangey> alright.. interesting follow-up question. I simply want to change one small thing in the .config to add ONE module. I don't want to have to recompile everything. Is that possible? or a pipe-dream?

[20:20] <yunus> Anyone knows how to get a full listing on all users and passwords
[20:20] <kyncani> yunus: you can't, passwords are encrpyted
[20:20] <deany> MrSunshine,  http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/09/04/four-tweaks-for-using-linux-with-solid-state-drives/   saves me typin.. scroll down
[20:21] <Ocol> Hey can anybody say what this means, when I write command sensors in (lm sensors installed) it gives me this: Adapter: Virtual device
[20:21] <Ocol> temp1:       +91.0°C  (crit = +100.0°C)
[20:21] <ehempel> yunus: cat /etc/passwd will give you the users
[20:21] <guntbert> yunus: users are in /etc/passwd, but you cannot read their passwords (as kyncani already said)
[20:21] <Ocol> What the heck is virtual device? o.O And it's temp
[20:21] <yunus> ok
[20:21] <yunus> not good
[20:22] <yunus> so I can only allocate new passwords
[20:22] <yunus> passwd x

[20:23] <jerrysun> hello,there
[20:23] <kyncani> yunus: yep, or (depending on what you're doing), you can keep them the same by keeping the same encrpyted form
[20:23] <Aizawa> For some reason they all moved when I logged on, and I can't figure out how to move them back
[20:23] <Ocol> Anyone has any idea what's virtual device and it's temp1?

[20:26] <deany> hmm, MrSunshine well i dunno then... I have found using JFS is a lot faster, but i only use it for external drive
[20:26] <guntbert> yunus: maybe you begin again, by telling us your real problem?

[20:29] <connorpj> Hi everyone! does anyone have suggestions of a VPN server to run on my Ubuntu Server?
[20:29] <tzd> ryant: oh ok, then I'll give it a try
[20:29] <erUSUL> jerrysun: man loosetup ? but the devices should be creted automatically when you mount an image file over loop
[20:30] <The_Drizzle> Jeruvy, Thanks, I will
[20:30] <erUSUL> jerrysun: you do not have to create them upfront in most cases
[20:30] <guntbert> yunus: for mail to two people at once: put both addresses into the to: field of the mail
[20:30] <kyncani> yunus: well, then he just has to mention both of them in the "To" field, hasn't he ?
[20:30] <martiiin> Is it possible to change colour at the name of the application running in the bottom pannel?
[20:31] <yunus> yes this I know - but my boss does not want that, he forwards all mail to me and ubuntu forwards to the other tech
[20:31] <yunus> his being difficult
[20:31] <Jeruvy> yunus: use Bcc: then.

[20:32] <yunus> no one - the guy left

[20:32] <erUSUL> jerrysun: o.0! can you show me the exact error ?
[20:33] <Jeruvy> The_Drizzle: did you ./configure this first?
[20:33] <martiiin> I cant see my desktop icons, what have I done? :O
[20:33] <jerrysun> erUSUL: ok, wait a minute
[20:33] <guntbert> yunus: I'm sorry but we cannot teach you to manage a mail server *here*, your other problem was: find the information in the directory of the tech who left the company?
[20:34] <yunus> Thank you
[20:34] <yunus> ok
[20:34] <jerrysun> erUSUL: mount: could not find any device /dev/loop#
[20:34] <yunus> bye
[20:34] <The_Drizzle> Jeruvy, The instructions that came with the package did not include that step
[20:34] <erUSUL> jerrysun: « lsmod | grep loop » returns anything ?
[20:35] <guntbert> yunus: wait, the other part *could* be solved, I think
[20:35] <MrSunshine> can i get rid of pulse audio somehow?
[20:35] <MrSunshine> hell that app is sucking 10 - 20% cpu
[20:35] <martiiin> how do I restart nautilus ?
[20:35] <jerrysun> erUSUL: nothing returned
[20:36] <Jeruvy> The_Drizzle: try that first, then 'make' again, then 'sudo make install'  you should check the package for any specific docs for the various options for the ./configure
[20:36] <Kriss3d> how do i change the keyboard as soon as i log in ? it doesnt change to the right language untill im in kde..
[20:36] <erUSUL> jerrysun: weird do « sudo modprobe loop »
[20:36] <The_Drizzle> Jeruvy, the package doesn't come with a configure utility. There are specific instructions for editing the Makefile by hand, which I did
[20:37] <Jeruvy> The_Drizzle: ok.  then you need to verify all the paths in the makefile manually :(
[20:37] <jerrysun> erUSUL: no result

[20:40] <CokeNCode> Suhail, what's wrong with top  ?
[20:40] <guntbert> Suhail: use htop

[20:40] <erUSUL> Suhail: use top or htop an order the programs by memory use. hitting capital M iirc

[20:41] <The_Drizzle> Jeruvy, Arg. Okay, back to the drawing board. Thanks for your input
[20:41] <[MindVirus]> Nevermind. Can someone suggest me a program that depends on libpng3?
[20:41] <Suhail> guntbert: htop looks pretty
[20:41] <guntbert> Suhail: yes :-)
[20:41] <scunizi> [MindVirus]: what are you trying to get working with libpng3?
[20:41] <MrSunshine> i removed pulse audio, audio works fine when i do test in sound preferences but no sound in movies anymore ?
[20:41] <[MindVirus]> scunizi, StepMania.
[20:41] <Jeruvy> The_Drizzle: np, good luck.
[20:42] <[MindVirus]> I could just install the package but I don't want to keep if it I don't need it.

[20:42] <CokeNCode> scunizi, is gparted a default package?

[20:45] <[MindVirus]> Plus I don't want 3.9.
[20:45] <[MindVirus]> I want 4.0.
[20:45] <MrSunshine> DasEi, but it works in the sound tests :) and none of the sliders are muted nor 0
[20:45] <[MindVirus]> And there are no .debs for 4.0.
[20:45] <scunizi> [MindVirus]: nope.. looks like there's some type of conflict with licensing
[20:46] <[MindVirus]> scunizi, please answer my question. What programs depend on libpng3?
[20:46] <CokeNCode> ok, just installed jparted scunizi. How do i use it to delete the partition a mounted micro sd card ?
[20:46] <CokeNCode> ok, i've got it open. How do i delete the partition
[20:46] <CokeNCode> it won't let me do anything

[20:47] <MrSunshine> DasEi, i dont like vlc ... never got the arrow buttons etc to work :/

[20:59] <austin_> hey, everyone* i need some help...my conputer is running unbuntu 8.10, on my lap top toshiba tecra 8200; however is dosnt fill my WHOLE screen is there any way possible to make it so it does, please PM me.
[20:59] <scunizi> XeroXenith: true.. I have 2 samsung printers, both laser, one color and networked.. they work well.  and I just bought a Brother MFP7440n multifunction that I found drivers for.. don't have it yet so I can't report as to its viability.
[21:00] <ubd>  hello - i am getting "ACPI: EC: non-query interrupt received, switching to interrupt mode" constantly. this is a toshiba laptop with debian base. google says ubuntu sometimes have this problem  also, if someone knows how to solve this pls help
[21:00] <finiras> guntbert: downloaded the extras thing, same story
[21:00] <ehempel> I've been looking for an audio program/library on ubuntu that can convert a single voice (or whistle, hum) into notes (preferably MIDI, but tracker or just plain text could be ok too) ... any ideas?
[21:01] <XeroXenith> scunizi: i'd be interested to know how well those would work w/ ubuntu if connected to a network, it seems most non-network canon printers are supported just fine
[21:01] <guntbert> finiras: sorry then, no further ideas :-(

[21:01] <LeL> hello, can i have the link to paste stuff into the chat please?
[21:02] <sebsebseb> !pastebin
[21:02] <mleger> hi is there maybe a chatroom channel that specializes in wireless support?
[21:02] <LeL> !pastebin
[21:02] <LeL> ah thanks
[21:02] <sebsebseb> no problem
[21:02] <scunizi> XeroXenith: the color samsung is networked.. CLP600n.. and works fine.. samsung does have its own cups drivers.  From the reports that I've read, the Brother works great networked as well.
[21:02] <Stinky> !pastebin
[21:03] <mleger> could someone at least acknowledge my questions? what happened to the "great ubuntu community support"??
[21:03] <LeL> i need bash scripting help, is this the right place?
[21:03] <XeroXenith> scunizi: really? that's great, i didnt think other manufacturers would. it seems it's just canon out in the cold =P ah well, i'll survive ^.^
[21:03] <scunizi> mleger: you're acknowledged.. nobody knows the answer
[21:04] <guntbert> !wireless | mleger: did you follow what is said in
[21:04] <scunizi> XeroXenith: Canon, Lexmark and many others.
[21:04] <rain> hi, does anyone know how I can create my own ubuntu like OS? as you know there are are many different ubuntus (ubuntu;xbuntu;kubuntu;edubuntu and so on) but where  should I start if I wanna try make my ownbuntu?
[21:04] <Jeruvy> urd: ok I can't get the bot to pull it, but here is the bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/284263
[21:04] <XeroXenith> scunizi: ah, ok. well, i guess with time these guys should pick up the pace... it's just a question of "when" =]
[21:05] <joey__> #easypeasy
[21:05] <mleger> gunibert: hey I did follow and got my wireless set up but for some reason it only works when I boot ubuntu while plugged in to the AC power, and refuses to run while on battery
[21:05] <LeL> i'm trying to create a script that checks if a user is online on the system and keeps checking every 5 seconds even if the user is offline i want it to keep checking every 5 secs, http://paste.ubuntu.com/135080/  , can anyone tell me what im doing wrong? thanks
[21:05] <melik> rain, you want to make an "iso"?
[21:05] <rain> yes
[21:06] <melik> hmm im not really sure about that; but
[21:06] <rain> melik, I wanna create desktop iso like ubuntu have
[21:06] <melik> once you start adding/deleting/configuring packages, then it technically does become your own ubuntu
[21:07] <gordonjcp> LeL: what's it doing, or not doing?
[21:07] <guntbert> !ot | rain
[21:07] <rain> melik, U mean I should just delete unwanted packages from iso? what program I can use for that?
[21:07] <nessi> ciaoi a tuut
[21:07] <LeL> something is wrong with the $user
[21:07] <gordonjcp> LeL: maybe we should take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:07] <LeL> and even if the user is online it keeps saying it's offline
[21:07] <melik> well rain
[21:08] <MrSunshine> rain, xubuntu, kubuntu etc isnt that just that it comes with the kde/xfce etc packages?
[21:08] <LeL> ok mate, i'm coming there
[21:08] <ajhais> !chat |ubottu
[21:08] <MrSunshine> not that its configured in any particular special way
[21:08] <melik> imo, its not a really good program.. but you can use reconstructor
[21:08] <adac> html
[21:08] <melik> im not quite fond of it though
[21:08] <austin_> hey, everyone* i need some help...my conputer is running unbuntu 8.10, on my lap top toshiba tecra 8200; however is dosnt fill my WHOLE screen is there any way possible to make it so it does, please PM me.
[21:09] <mleger> is there any way to ensure wireless is enabled even while running on laptop battery power? it seems to only turn on while plugged in to power cord
[21:09] <guntbert> !pm | austin_
[21:09] <rain> MrSunshine maybe I will look what I can dot with that information,
[21:10] <sentimentalee> hola
[21:10] <guntbert> mleger: not sure, do you use the network-manager applett?
[21:11] <Winol_> Hey guys ! I d liketo install a Triple boot on my Laptop . is it possible to install ubuntu on a Extended Partition ? If yes how much space do i have to "give" to / and /home please ? :) Thanks for the help if you can :)
[21:12] <mleger> guntbert: I think so I mean I use the network manager that comes with ubuntu
[21:13] <scunizi> Winol_: sure.. but why bother when there is virtual box for multiple installs.. much easier to eradicate an install if you don't like it too.
[21:13] <austin_> you ALL are useless
[21:13] <guntbert> mleger: sometimes, when I resume my notebook, then I see wireless disabled after a right click on the applet
[21:14] <keithclark> I have a DVD +/-RW burner here on my laptop, but when I try to write to a +RW media, Brasero says it cannot with the current plugins.  Am I missing some plugins?
[21:15] <mleger> guntbert: ok right clicked it said wireless was enabled, but I unchecked and then rechecked the box and seems to work now. is this a familiar issue? is there anything I can do for it to always be enabled?
[21:15] <Winol_> scunizi : i will use Vbox to . but for the moment i'd like a "pure" install :D
[21:15] <gmap> how do you find the path of an app? for example path of php
[21:15] <urthmover> Stow = manage source installed applications from command line

[21:17] <rashed2020_> How do most people here pronounce ubuntu?
[21:17] <rashed2020_> Ubauntu or uboontu?
[21:18] <guntbert> mleger: glad it helped - but no I don't know of a "general issue" and neither of a remedy (except what you did already)
[21:18] <militant> ooboontoo ...  it's how my kenyan friends say the word should be pronounced
[21:18] <rashed2020_> That's how I say it
[21:18] <rashed2020_> I get annoyed when people say ubauntu and tell me I'm saying it wrong
[21:18] <Kriss3d> ooboontu is the only prenounciation anyone ever use in my contry..
[21:18] <rashed2020_> Where are you from?
[21:18] <Shinu> lol
[21:18] <mleger> guntbert: ok well anyway thanks alot for the help! hopefully this will work every time there is an issue
[21:18] <militant> ubauntu just feels/sounds ungainly
[21:18] <guntbert> !ot | rashed2020_
[21:18] <Shinu> you ban too
[21:18] <urthmover> uh-boon-too
[21:18] <daarkchild> ooboontoo like the zulu and Ndebele people pronounce it.
[21:19] <militant> i'm married to an ethiopian/kenyan girl
[21:19] <militant> lol
[21:19]  * militant is learning swahili and amharic
[21:19] <rashed2020_> Shinu: I'm pretty sure this is borderline ooboontoo support!
[21:19] <guntbert> mleger: :-))
[21:20] <gnude> hello
[21:21] <gnude> why is ubuntu 8.04.2 as cd version, but only 8.04.1 as dvd version?
[21:22] <rashed2020_> The DVD version comes with more languages AFAIK
[21:22] <meoblast001> hi
[21:22] <meoblast001> i did this http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/instruction_scn1c.html#9 but i don't want to restart my system.... what can i do to avoid the restart?
[21:22] <gnude> yes, and some packages are more, like buildessentials, apache or bluefish. but the patches are the same, so it must be possible to create a dvd with 8.04.2 ?
[21:24] <keithclark> Do I need to format DVD+RW first before writing to it?
[21:24] <bublers> MENU TOGGLE
[21:24] <gnude> keithclark i dont think so. to write to a cd-rw i dont need to format. why a dvd?
[21:25] <keithclark> gnude: because I want to burn a dvd
[21:25] <gnude> yes. thats clear. ;-) but what is the different between dvd-rw and cd-rw? i think you can put it into the drive and use brassareo
[21:25] <Jeruvy> keithclark: if it's a rewritable I think you do...I never use rewritables myself only write once discs.
[21:26] <gnude> i have a dvd burner, but only use write once discs too.
[21:26] <keithclark> Jeruvy: what app would I use to format the disc?
[21:27] <Jeruvy> keithclark: I wouldn't have a clue, sorry.
[21:27] <user___> keithclark: theres no formatting needed, so no app needed
[21:27] <zleap> dvd is bigger
[21:27] <keithclark> user___: ok, hmmm.  Not sure why it is not working then
[21:28] <anubis_> how can I get fusion cube working?
[21:28] <user___> keithclark: whats the error message?
[21:29] <Jeruvy> keithclark: the forums suggest k3b or gnomebaker
[21:30] <keithclark> Yeah, I'm even trying a DVD+R.  No luck
[21:30] <meoblast001> i don't want to restart
[21:30] <keithclark> It says "Please replace disck.  Cannot write to this disc with the current plugins."
[21:30] <keithclark> This is on two different computers
[21:31] <keithclark> With two different drive
[21:31] <rizitis> keithclark: yours dvd disk are not good
[21:32] <keithclark> rizitis: All my new ones are no good?
[21:32] <keithclark> rizitis: my DVD+R and my DVD+RWs?
[21:33] <m1dlg> hi guys, I have a fairly new 1TB drive that seems to have failed(failing) I am trying to recover all my stuff but it just makes nasty noises and gives up trying after several attempts, I then need to restart the drive caddy (it's USB to SATA) before it works again. I want to try something to try and see if it's a fault or a file ssytem issue, is there a 'scandisk' like command for terminal I can try???
[21:34] <user___> keithclark: did you tell the burning program to burn on a cd or dvd (i once made that mistake myself, the program just wasnt capable of creating an image to burn on a dvd..)
[21:34] <keithclark> user___: I'm using Brasero and it sees the correct drive
[21:35] <Jeruvy> keithclark: have you installed the gstreamer package?  http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-560146.html
[21:35] <user___> keithclark: do you choose to create a dvd data project?
[21:36] <keithclark> user___: video project
[21:37] <keithclark> Jeruvy: gstreamer installed on both machines
[21:37] <meoblast001> why can't i run "udevcontrol reload_rules"
[21:37] <meoblast001> it says it doesn't exist
[21:37] <seradin> hi everyone! How can I record a TS-stream that i can play e.g. with mplayer/vlcplayer using ubuntu? I want to save it to a file (a .TS file)
[21:38] <guntbert> meoblast001: try with sudo
[21:38] <user___> keithclark: ah, so it might be that one of the parts for the dvd-image-composing-process is missing. could you start brasero from the command line with the "-vv" option? this would give us the chance to obtain more debug output
[21:38] <meoblast001> guntbert: it says it doesnt exist
[21:39] <Javier88> hello, i've just installed a new drive following theese instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive ... but when i try to use chown to enable my user to use the disk, the terminal says that it's not a valid operation. what can i do?
[21:39] <vole> hi guys i need som help.. could anyone explane why mobile broadband with Option Icon 255 works straight away in Linpus but not in Ubuntu.. It works for me but i cant understand why you need HSOconnect etc. to get it to work. Im on a Apire one netbook and i got Ubuntu 8.10 on it.
[21:39] <Javier88>   sudo chown -R USERNAME:USERNAME /media/mynewdrive
[21:39] <`brandon> hello i have a question, how do you use the 3d box on ubuntu?
[21:40] <keithclark> user___: will do
[21:40] <Jeruvy> keithclark: you may want to try: brasero --debug &> brasero-debug.txt to see if that eludes to any issue with brasero?
[21:40] <Javier88> sudo chown -R javier:javier /media/hitachi
[21:41] <Javier88> i itred this one also
[21:41] <Javier88> sudo chown -R javier /media/hitachi
[21:41] <sebsebseb> vole: different distros, different stuff pre installed
[21:42] <guntbert> meoblast001: did you read http://www.scribd.com/doc/12342910/Linux-for-You-Feb09 ? (search for udevcontrol)
[21:42] <sebsebseb> vole: also their are specific netbook Ubuntu's
[21:42] <sebsebseb> vole: you installed the standard Ubuntu desktop CD on a netbook?
[21:43] <keithclark> user___: unknown option -vv
[21:43] <Javier88> ¿?
[21:43] <Jeruvy> Javier88: I do not believe you can chown a device, just a file/dir
[21:44] <user___> keithclark: ok --debug is used by brasero as Jeruvy suggested
[21:44] <krzysz00> yes you CAN chown a device, but i'd use udev rules
[21:44] <vole> sedsebseb, yepp, and it wokrs fine for me.. the only thing is that i cant get rid of that Linpus got it and Ubunto nog :D
[21:44] <Javier88> Jeruvy, this is what i did https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive
[21:44] <Jeruvy> krzysz00: thanks for clarifying
[21:44] <sebsebseb> !netbook | vole
[21:44] <`brandon> !3d | brandon
[21:45] <sebsebseb> vole: ok  you don't want the standard Ubuntu desktop CD for a netbook
[21:45] <krzysz00> What's the device you want to chown?
[21:45] <sebsebseb> vole: you want something that has been made for the netbook instead that is a Ubuntu version
[21:45] <Javier88> Jeruvy it clearly says that i have to do   sudo chown -R USERNAME:USERNAME /media/mynewdrive
[21:46] <anubis_> Hi I installed compiz config setting manager, but I don't know how to set it up to get the cube, can anyone help?
[21:46] <Jeruvy> Javier88: That is one suggestion, the next remark offers an alternative

[21:49] <`brandon> what is Dapper XGL and how do i get it?
[21:49] <Alex_21> Thanks for your help
[21:49] <vole> sedsebseb, what i i try to say is that moste of the time if somthing works in a diffrent distro you could almoste "steel" it from that one to get it to work in another one.. im not shure if this is possible to do with this one but theres lots of info about diffrent type of this kind on the net..
[21:49] <Alex_21> Good night
[21:49] <Ar3Ch3r> Hey, i am new to ubuntu. I need some help installing a .tar.bz2 file can someone pm me?
[21:49] <Jordan_U> oin #ubuntu+1
[21:49] <sebsebseb> vole: yeah and what I am saying is there are at least two  special netbook versions of Ubuntu
[21:49] <aden_> Is there another ubuntu room with more people? lol
[21:49] <dr_willis> !compile
[21:49] <aden_> More talking people
[21:50] <`brandon> !tar | Ar3Ch3r
[21:50] <vole> sedsebseb, ok.. the remix and ?
[21:50] <sebsebseb> vole: ,but I am thinking if they are more for EEPC's, but the netbook remix will be for everything.  and just looking at the site for that.
[21:50] <sebsebseb> vole: yeah you know about the remix ok
[21:50] <dr_willis> In some ways i dont like the special interface the netbook-remix has.
[21:50] <sebsebseb> vole: ubuntueee  or whatever the offical one is, and there's  easypeasy as well.  ,but not sure if those are  mainly for eee's ,but I think they would work on any netbook
[21:50] <aden_> Dr Willis, are you a n00b with Ubuntu?
[21:50] <aden_> Because I am
[21:51] <militant>      tnnnnnnnnnmt6fvbfbvcfcf v b bn    cv\
[21:51] <aden_> And I'm stressing because of this error.. I could use your help if you know what you're talking about
[21:51] <dr_willis> aden_:  ive been using Ubuntu for about.. Hmm.. since warty warthog, and breezy badger days at least
[21:51] <manzur> i have a problem
[21:51] <aden_> Ayyyy Can I PM you?
[21:51] <dr_willis> aden_:  pastebin the error messages and give theurl to the channel , or summarize them

[21:52] <`brandon> dr_willis: how do i download Ubuntu Dapper XGL?
[21:52] <sebsebseb> vole: and  distros use differnet package types and so on.   you can't just get something from another distro.  it has to be compatbile with Ubuntu
[21:52] <militant> woops.  my 5 month old was mashing my keyboard and somehow managed to both send some garbage and get me disconnected
[21:52] <dr_willis> `brandon: for 'dapper drake' ? no idea. i dont bother with the old releases much.
[21:52] <Jeruvy> keithclark: that does seem to indicate it's having trouble at 518 its assertion critically fails.  Perhaps try with other burning software.
[21:52] <`brandon> dr_willis: oh i want it so i can use the 3d box thing.
[21:53] <rizitis> Javier88: comand ls -lh at /media an pastebin the results
[21:53] <keithclark> Ok, but this is on two different machines with two different dvd burners
[21:53] <keithclark> Same errors
[21:54] <dr_willis> `brandon:  i most definatly dont  go to too much effort for the compiz effecs/ cube eyecandy. Sorry.
[21:54] <dr_willis> `brandon:  check the #compiz channel , or upgrade if you want would be my advice.
[21:54] <`brandon> dr_willis okay thank you anyways
[21:55] <Jordan_U> `brandon, You don't neccisarily need XGL, even with Dapper
[21:56] <`brandon> brb i need to switch to ubuntu right now.
[21:56] <user___> keithclark: is package vcdimager installed?
[21:56] <keithclark> user___: No, installing
[21:57] <keithclark> user___: not sure how to use it though
[21:57] <jon_high9000> how do you setup ufw on intrepid in order to get any type of speed out when downloading torrents?
[21:58] <vole> sedsebseb, ok, i understand.. the thing is that i think Ubuntu is a bigger distro then Linpus and i cant understand how itś possible that just a distro like Linpus got the it " pluggable" and Ubunto not... as i said before this is not a problem for me, its just a thought that want leav my brain :D
[21:58] <user___> keithclark: no need to worry for now, brasero should find it automatically
[21:59] <natsukao> i am mounting GNU/linux Ubuntu
[21:59] <natsukao> i would to create a profile of user
[21:59] <user___> keithclark: also please do an  sudo aptitude install brasero    to get all recommended depencies installed
[21:59] <natsukao> with the privileges of root
[22:00] <Kriss3d> ok this is odd. i have one wifi already connected to a wpa-psk and i just (while ubuntu is running) plugged in a usb dongle and im trying to connect that to same router.. wont connect.. takes a few minutes to find out it wont accept for some reason.. but when i connect to my testrouter which is wep it happily jumps on that right away.. howcome ?

[22:06] <hugodor> mousewheel doesn't seem to work with me for some reason
[22:06] <keithclark> ultrasonic: hmmmm, let me explore that one
[22:06] <user___> keithclark: the debug log shows what programs are still missing. just repeat step by step.
[22:07] <dr_willis> use teh ccsm tool and set the zoom keys to whatever you want perhaps.
[22:07] <Formode> Okay
[22:08] <Formode> So, I just chmod 644's my home folder.... Can't open anything... Permission denied... help?

[22:10] <keithclark> user____ sorry, a ton of data to decipher.....
[22:10] <keithclark> Should this not be installed by default?
[22:11] <Shooree> anyone in the mood for walking a newb through fixing Acer 5920G (media keys + hibernation) issues on Xubuntu 8.10? I'm a quick learner :)
[22:11] <Shooree> I read almost all the info on the forums but am confused as to which method actually works
[22:11] <lighttitan> So, my USB external HDD isn't showing up when I plug it in... any suggestions?
[22:12] <irbdavid> Hi.  Running 8.10 on a dell netbook - is there anything I can do about fixed-height windows running off the bottom of my screen?
[22:12] <keithclark> Ok, thanks all for the help.  I'm just too frustated to carry on in Ubuntu to burn a DVD.  I'll just reboot into XP to get it done.  Thanks though, greatly appreciate the effort!
[22:13] <DasEi> lighttitan: does fdisk find it ?
[22:13] <militant> ok.  so i spent the whole night getting gallery2 working and ironing out apache etc.  .... now i need a project again.  :/
[22:13] <lighttitan> let me check
[22:13] <dr_willis> irbdavid:  the 'eeebuntu' wiki page have some tweaks for that.. one tweak lets you 'alt-click' and drag a window UP past the panel so you can get to the bottom of the windows
[22:14] <Wicked> !wireless
[22:14] <jedi06> how do you cp a directory
[22:14] <jedi06> cp dir1 dir2
[22:14] <jedi06> that didn't work
[22:14] <usser> jedi06, cp -R dir1 dir2
[22:14] <Seveas> jedi06, cp -a dir1 dir2
[22:14] <usser> jedi06, cp -a seveas is right
[22:14] <DasEi> k3b does it for me, keithclark
[22:14] <Goldwing> Q: What's better, bridging or masqerading for joining 2 networks? (1st network -> win2k3 VPN 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
[22:15] <lighttitan> what command should I use for fdisk?
[22:15] <tea_ovedose> hi, can someone tell me how to fix this ? configure: error: cannot run /bin/bash config/config.sub
[22:15] <jedi06> thanks guys
[22:15] <militant> lighttitan fdisk /dev/your/drive ...?
[22:15] <DasEi>  !who| lighttitan
[22:15] <DasEi> lighttitan: sudo fdisk -l
[22:15] <Seveas> Goldwing, either dhcp relay or bridging. dhcp doesn't work over nat. Not even sure if this bridge is possible
[22:16] <DasEi> lighttitan: does the deviceshow up there ?
[22:16] <Goldwing> Seveas : hmm.. so NAT is a no-go.. and bridge not sure... hmm.. i'll go and try to bridge then
[22:16] <lighttitan> DasEi, yes it shows up as /dev/sdc
[22:16] <tea_ovedose> hi, can someone pelase help me fix: configure: error: cannot run /bin/bash config/config.sub?
[22:16] <Goldwing> Seveas: need to figure this out
[22:17] <Seveas> Goldwing, nat + dhcp relay could work and might be easier than bridging :)
[22:17] <DasEi> lighttitan: mount             (with no args),is it mounted ?
[22:17] <Hezy> anyone here knows a good way of backing up the home folder to DVD (including hidden files)?
[22:17] <Goldwing> Seveas : ok, but another critical thing, ALL traffic has to be allowed both ways
[22:17] <paulo39> hi, i installed ubuntu hardy just now, my pidgin didnt support the wlm protocol, i installed msn-pecan package, but it still doesn't work, i cant autenticate my account... can you help me?
[22:18] <lighttitan> DasEi: titan@titan-desktop:~$ mount /dev/sdc
[22:18] <lighttitan> mount: can't find /dev/sdc in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[22:18] <DasEi> lighttitan: mount             (with no arguments)
[22:18] <xisco> hello everybody, I want to know if anybody know a solution in ubuntu tu skip thelimitation of megavideo
[22:18] <DasEi> lighttitan: mount             (with no args),is it mounted ?
[22:18] <lighttitan> DasEi, checking
[22:19] <rizitis> Hezy: try LuckyBackup
[22:19] <DasEi> xisco: elemnation ? wanna d/l megavideo ?
[22:19] <sebsebseb> Hezy: sure just burn the whole home folder to DVD
[22:19] <lighttitan> DasEi, it doesn't appear to be
[22:19] <DasEi> lighttitan: which filesystem has it ?
[22:19] <sebsebseb> Hezy: it wil burn the hidden files as well
[22:20] <guntbert> Goldwing: I'd say your problem belongs more in ##networking
[22:20] <lighttitan> DasEi: ext3 and has lots of movies on it I don't want to lose >.<
[22:20] <xisco> DasEi, what ? I don't understand your question
[22:20] <dr_willis> Tar the whole dir to a file.. using theproper commands and burn archive to dvd is a good way also
[22:20] <irbdavid> dr_willis, found this: http://forum.eeebuntu.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2019 and seems to work.  Cheers for the heads up
[22:20] <tomvolek_> Hi,  i have setup a dualboot laptop with ubuntu 8.1 with  lots of applicaitons.  how can i back this setup so I can copy the entire os and other apps to a second machine ?
[22:20] <DasEi> lighttitan: sudo mkdir /media/usbfilm
[22:20] <ultrasonic> hi all, my swap partition is not enabled by default. how to enable it?
[22:21] <DasEi> lighttitan: sudo mount /dev/sdc1  /media/usbfilm
[22:21] <lighttitan> DasEi: ok done!
[22:21] <dr_willis> ultrasonic:   proper swap entry in the fstab file, and the swapon  command are used for that.
[22:21] <DasEi> lighttitan: cd /media/usbfilm
[22:21] <rizitis> tomvolek_: http://luckybackup.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html
[22:21] <DasEi> lighttitan: ls
[22:21] <dr_willis> swapon /dev/whatver
[22:21] <lighttitan> DasEi: titan@titan-desktop:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/usbfilm
[22:21] <lighttitan> mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist
[22:22] <tomvolek_> rizitis,  does this utility  backup the parition map , etc ?
[22:22] <DasEi> xisco: please repeat your initialquestion, haven't understand either
[22:22] <tomvolek_> I  am lookign for somethign i can just tell it here is the host, go ahead make a mirror
[22:22] <DasEi> lighttitan: get the correct identifyer from sudo fdisk -l
[22:23] <lighttitan> DasEi: It used to have the ext3 filesystem on it... what if the partition got deleted but the disc was not formated?
[22:23] <xisco> I want to know if is possible to avoid the limitation of megavideo when you watch a video
[22:23] <paulo39>  hi, i installed ubuntu hardy just now, my pidgin didnt support the wlm protocol, i installed msn-pecan package, but it still doesn't work, i cant autenticate my account... can you help me?
[22:23] <dronix> lighttitan: it might appear on the grup but you won't be able to access the partition
[22:23] <DasEi> lighttitan: could try to repair it, try hdparm -z on it first
[22:23] <Hezy> sebsebseb: Thunar says I have 3.2GB in the folder, but Brasero says it's only 1.2GB. I was thinking the difference is in hidden files
[22:24] <keithclark> DasEi: k3b fails also.  On both machines
[22:24] <sebsebseb> Hezy: the hidden files are tiny
[22:25] <dr_willis> unless its the .Trash or other caches..
[22:25] <guntbert> Hezy: try du -s
[22:25] <Hezy> sebsebseb: What about all the hidden folders?
[22:26] <ultrasonic> dr_willis: what entries should i add in fstab ?
[22:26] <dr_willis> hidden folders are not erally hidden. :) they just are ignored by some apps.. but not all.
[22:26] <lighttitan> DasEi: titan@titan-desktop:~$ sudo hdparm -z /dev/sdc
[22:26] <lighttitan> /dev/sdc:
[22:26] <lighttitan>  re-reading partition table
[22:26] <keithclark> Has anyone burned +RW or +R discs successfully with 8.10?
[22:26] <janito> tomvolek_, I am not aware of an utility which clones both part images and the part map, you could use partimage and dd for the partition map saving, however most of the times you dont want to copy the part map because disks have different sizes
[22:26] <DasEi> xisco: ah , limitation, I mostly use the ff plugin videodownloadhelper to store them on hd, then watch with vlc, has lot of configs then; often the raw-material isn't too good
[22:26] <chyea> hey all. i'm looking for 'rc.d' on Ubuntu, if it has one. i'm used to it being in /etc/rc.d - where is this file, or similar file, on Ubuntu?
[22:26] <lighttitan> DasEi, then that's all it says
[22:26] <DasEi> keithclark: yes
[22:26] <sebsebseb> Hezy: ls will list things, but it's not great.  try tree.   sudo apt-get install tree    and then  when it's in home which it will be by default.  run tree
[22:26] <dr_willis> ultrasonic:  mine looks like UUID=27cad407-4afd-4415-ae2a-bb35a5182745 swap swap defaults 0 0
[22:26] <DasEi> lighttitan: try to mount it again
[22:26] <tomvolek_> thanks janito
[22:26] <dr_willis> ultrasonic:  your UUID will vary
[22:27] <geckosen1tor> when I plug in a thumb drive, a window pops up, how do I make it not do that?
[22:27] <keithclark> DasEi: what kind of hardware?  Did you have to install extra software?
[22:27] <janito> chyea, you mean /etc/init.d ?
[22:27] <Sleepyfloyd> cheyea: /etc/init.d
[22:27] <chyea> ah, init.d sounds good.
[22:27] <ultrasonic> dr_willis:how to find uuid?

[22:27] <DasEi> keithclark: sata-burner,  no additional to k3b

[22:29] <sergiu> how to return some information about CPU with terminal?
[22:29] <Jordan_U> sergiu, cat /proc/cpuinfo
[22:29] <Polk`> oops my bad
[22:29] <keithclark> DasEi: Ok,tried on my third machine with no luck.  Same error.  I did try with XP on a machine and no issues
[22:29] <Polk`> wrong irc chat ne ways
[22:29] <whileimhere> Howdy there folks!
[22:30] <whileimhere> I was wondering how the new version of Ubuntu is coming along for those brave souls who have pre-tested it.
[22:30] <DasEi> keithclark: what are you trying to burn ?
[22:30] <ultrasonic> guntbert: but it didnt show up my swap partitons uuid..
[22:30] <sergiu> Jordan_U, thanks
[22:30] <keithclark> DasEi: just some video
[22:30] <Jordan_U> sergiu, np
[22:30] <DasEi>  !jaunty | whileimhere
[22:30] <lighttitan> DasEi: it says "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so"
[22:31] <keithclark> DasEi: it never gets to the content though.  It won't even erase the discs
[22:31] <Hezy> sebsebseb: ok, i tried tree, what's the conclusion?
[22:31] <lighttitan> DasEi:  VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sdc.  is what I found in syslong
[22:31] <lighttitan> syslog
[22:31] <geckosen1tor> rww: thanks
[22:31] <DasEi> lighttitan: the sdc needs a number, that should show up in fdisk -l , you mount partitions, not whole hd's
[22:31] <sebsebseb> Hezy:  did it list a lot of stuff?
[22:32] <guntbert> ultrasonic: 1) sudo fdisk -l | grep swap, 2) blkid <the device you just found>
[22:32] <DasEi> lighttitan: check gparted for that drive
[22:32] <lighttitan> DasEi, ok
[22:32] <Excell> could someone give me the command to involk the sys check @ boot..i use to know it..it is a (touch) command...i would be very greatful.
[22:33] <rww> Excell: sudo touch /fastboot
[22:33] <rww> wait, that's the opposite of what you want =/
[22:33] <Excell> nice  /thx
[22:33] <guntbert> !fsck | Excell, or did you want force fsck?
[22:33] <Excell> yes

[22:34] <Excell> thanks folks
[22:34] <tq|Memphis> can someone suggest me a DivX player , i'm not happy with Movie player
[22:34] <lighttitan> DasEi: in gparted, it shows up as unallocated.
[22:34] <ultrasonic> guntbert: nothing shows up in blkid <partition>
[22:35] <DasEi> lighttitan: bad sign,you will then check out :
[22:35] <Hezy> sebsebseb: yes, but no hidden files as far as i see

[22:35] <lighttitan> DasEi, thank you... looks like I might be screwed :(
[22:35] <rww> LjL: lies :P
[22:36] <DasEi> lighttitan: sorry for that
[22:36] <ultrasonic> guntbert:managed to get it working by opening gparted and enabling swapon on the swap partiton .
[22:36] <chyea> so, if i'm wanting to modify what starts at startup, etc, and what doesn't... do i modify the links in /etc/rc1.d/, or whatever? (add/remove where needed)
[22:36] <chyea> or is there a command line tool for this
[22:36] <chyea> i just don't want to break anything.
[22:36] <guntbert> ultrasonic: ah, poor system didn't know where you wanted swap :-))
[22:36] <DasEi>  !BUM | chyea
[22:37] <chyea> thank you
[22:37] <DasEi>  chyea : BUM is quite safe n easy
[22:37] <ultrasonic> guntbert, dont want to do that everytime i restart.. and even gparted doesnt give me uuid ..!
[22:37] <sebsebseb> Hezy:  ok sudo apt-get install  kdiskfree  or if that won't work search for it in synaptic package manager
[22:38] <DasEi> ultrasonic: sudo blkid
[22:38] <guntbert> ultrasonic: ok, what is the output of  sudo fdisk -l | grep swap ?
[22:38] <sebsebseb> Hezy: that will tell you how much space your partitions are using.  in a rather nice grpahical app
[22:38] <`brandon> how do i know what version of ubuntu i am running?
[22:39] <DasEi>  !version

[22:40] <DIFH-iceroot> Guus1: just ask the real question
[22:40] <sebsebseb> Hezy:  those programs suck.  get the one  that I said  or the gnome one if you search synaptic for kdiskfree

[22:41] <guntbert> ultrasonic: and grep swap /etc/fstab ?
[22:41] <sebsebseb> Hezy:  also if you had a seperate home partition  you would know how much home is taking up exactly
[22:41] <sebsebseb> !home
[22:41] <ultrasonic> guntbert: sudo blkid worked .. gave me uuid
[22:41] <smokinjoe> Does anybody know of a program in ubuntu I can use to track the stats of my .com ?
[22:41] <Guus1> sorry for the flood
[22:42] <guntbert> ultrasonic: ok, fine :)
[22:42] <Guus1> this error gives me some headaches: slow start up and i dont seem to find the solution the web
[22:42] <Hezy> sebsebseb: I have a separate home partition, but it is used by few users and I one to back up just one
[22:43] <sebsebseb> Hezy: backup only that user then   /home/user
[22:43] <sebsebseb> Hezy:  just copy the folder and that's it
[22:43] <guntbert> smokinjoe: the stats of *what* ?
[22:44] <smokinjoe> My .com
[22:44] <Hezy> sebsebseb: that's what I'm trying to do, but brasero doesn't copy the hidden files
[22:45] <DasEi> keithclark: still around ?
[22:45] <sebsebseb> Hezy: view show hidden files, and copy them yourself then
[22:45] <puddle> hi
[22:45] <sebsebseb> Hezy: or  sudo apt-get install nautilus
[22:45] <puddle> i need ubuntu now
[22:45] <sebsebseb> Hezy: your on Xubuntu?
[22:45] <guntbert> smokinjoe: I can read :-) but I don't know what you mean with "my .com"
[22:45] <puddle> On a disk perhaps
[22:45] <puddle> I have vista
[22:45] <puddle> i need to install it now loll :X
[22:46] <puddle> i have powerISO and a disk
[22:46] <puddle> ?
[22:46] <sebsebseb> puddle: install it  and mke sure it overwrites Vista :)
[22:46] <keithclark> DasEi: yeah, burning on another computer
[22:46] <puddle> ok
[22:46] <Hezy> sebsebseb: yes I'm on Xubuntu. I can install nautilus, but I don't see how it solves the problem
[22:46] <sebsebseb> puddle: once you got the ISO downloaded for UBuntu md5sum it before burning
[22:46] <puddle> sebastien i am really nooby :(
[22:46] <sebsebseb> Hezy: ,beasue I done waht you want to do with nautilus and it works
[22:46] <The_Drizzle> Hey, does anyone know why I would get the following when running the "clear" command? '"linux" unknown terminal type'
[22:46] <SerialNo> how to install dock in ubuntu 8.10
[22:46] <sparky_> Ok, so I have a raid 5 setup.  I added another drive to it and it is in the process of reshaping.  I have uped the speed_limit_min from 1000K/s to 10000K/s but I only see a raise in speed from 1500K/s to 3700K/s.  From what I have found thur google it should have increased alot more the just 1200k/s and I have tried other speeds too (lower and higher values).  The max is set at 200000K/s, any suggests on getting to speed up?
[22:47] <sebsebseb> Hezy: I copied my old  home folder to Vista, and then back to Ubuntu etc,  when I  was doing my computer again. and yes no problems with the hidden folders
[22:47] <DasEi> keithclark: another  fact, if you got a licensed nero for win, can use the same key for a nero-deb, also nero offers a free trial ( see their HP)
[22:47] <sebsebseb> puddle: wait what do you want to use a computer for?
[22:47] <keithclark> DasEi: doesn't seem right
[22:47] <puddle> sebastien mainly irc
[22:47] <puddle> lol
[22:47] <keithclark> DasEi: sorry....this should just work.
[22:47] <puddle> i have no life
[22:47] <puddle> haha
[22:47] <sebsebseb> puddle: have you got anything in Vista that you want to keep?
[22:48] <puddle> Nope
[22:48] <puddle> Nothing
[22:48] <sebsebseb> puddle: your about 15 years old?
[22:48] <puddle> why?
[22:48] <puddle> 16
[22:48] <puddle> Do you know me?
[22:48] <sebsebseb> puddle: thought you would be about that age, because of the way you speak
[22:48] <Hezy> sebsebseb: sure, but you didn't use brasero, and this app is the problem
[22:48] <puddle> lol sebsebseb that is correct
[22:48] <puddle> im 15
[22:48] <puddle> sebastien your a clever guy
[22:48] <sebsebseb> Hezy:  get something else to burn with
[22:49] <sebsebseb> puddle:  what about Windows 3D gaming?
[22:49] <puddle> im not a gammar
[22:49] <puddle> :X
[22:49] <sebsebseb> Hezy: K3B is rather nice, but that will put on some KDE stuff
[22:49] <sebsebseb> puddle: fine you dont' need Vista
[22:49] <`brandon> how do i make the mouse faster?
[22:50] <sebsebseb> puddle: that makes instaling Ubuntu rather easy
[22:50] <puddle> ok cool.
[22:50] <coeus82> hei, I was wondering if someone can help me out with my audio. I have ubuntu 8.10 and it was working with pulseaudio since day one. However, the other day my computer froze while trying to play a wmv video through firefox so I rebooted. Ever since then my audio has not worked and when I go to my volume controls, the decibels are always in the negatives. The left most value is negative infinity and the right most value is 0

[22:51] <sebsebseb> justinnfx: yes I don't know who you are, and yes you can do that
[22:51] <sebsebseb> puddle: ok  md5sum the ISO before burning to a CD.
[22:52] <puddle> ok
[22:52] <justinnfx> Wont there be two master boot records one on one drive and one on another
[22:52] <sebsebseb> puddle: you know how to md5sum?  you compare the codes
[22:52] <sebsebseb> justinnfx: well  Grub the bootloader will go on the MBR of your primary hard disk
[22:52] <puddle> hmm not really lol
[22:52] <puddle> i'll try :S
[22:52] <sebsebseb> puddle: wait i'll get you links hang on
[22:52] <`brandon> !mouse | brandon
[22:52] <justinnfx> What should you make your primary hard drive.
[22:52] <puddle> ok cheers sebastien
[22:53] <_infidel> !ldbm
[22:53] <keithclark> DasEi: Just to frustrated here.....tried everything and still no luck.  I find myself working more and more in XP because things just don't work in Linux.  Not all their fault though.
[22:53] <sebsebseb> justinnfx: what do you mean?
[22:53] <snooser> Hello there. I need some help with partitions, can someone can help me? pm pls
[22:53] <justinnfx> Arent they all considered Primary, right now I installing winxp on one, vista on another, and ubuntu on another
[22:53] <sebsebseb> snooser: heh 3 guys wanting to do partition stuff all at once :d
[22:53] <DasEi> keithclark: can't follow you there,  I have 3 different boxes doing it fine
[22:54] <meoblast001> OH NO
[22:54] <snooser> sebsebseb, hi :D
[22:54] <justinnfx> three drives in totals,  Is there any certain ordre which i should i install the oS
[22:54] <sebsebseb> snooser: are you on Ubuntu Live CD?
[22:54] <justinnfx> so in other word im triple booting with three seperate harddrives
[22:54] <keithclark> DasEi: No problem.  I guess my machines are the issue.  Compaq R4000, HP a1211n are two of them.
[22:54] <keithclark> DasEi: pretty stock machines
[22:55] <sebsebseb> justinnfx: if your doing Windows make sure that's on there first, before putting Ubuntu on,  because otherwise it's a bit of a pain to put Grub back on
[22:55] <sebsebseb> !grub
[22:55] <keithclark> DasEi: the other is homemade.  I can understand issues there
[22:55] <The_Drizzle> Hi everybody. What should my "TERM" environment variable be set to?
[22:55] <snooser> sebsebseb no. I have no partitions and i have winvista installed. its ok to make now partitions or its better to format first?
[22:55] <The_Drizzle> And where do I change it...
[22:55] <militant> justinnfx  i used to do that.  slackware on first, win2k on 2nd, and freebsd on the 3rd.  didn't matter what order or anything.  but sebsebseb is right, putting windows on first, then your other OS's, is much easier for boot menu configs
[22:55] <DasEi> keithclark: mine are srew-boxes, too; the nero did for me on suse, where there was no other way
[22:55] <sebsebseb> snooser: ok you want to dual boot
[22:55] <DasEi> *screw
[22:56] <snooser> sebsebseb yea
[22:56] <keithclark> DasEi: ah, so writing is an issue
[22:56] <sebsebseb> snooser: actsaully let's go pm
[22:56] <sebsebseb> snooser: like you wanted
[22:56] <`brandon> is there any way i can have more that 2 workspaces?
[22:56] <snooser> sebsebseb ok
[22:56] <DasEi> keithclark: not for me since 8.04
[22:56] <puddle> .
[22:56] <keithclark> DasEi: Ok, understood.  Just my machines then.
[22:57] <DasEi> keithclark: does /var/log/syslog  complain about cdrom (use search function)
[22:57] <justinnfx> I am the one who messed up my win xp by installing a vista boot record before i installed vista
[22:57] <keithclark> DasEi: went down that route earlier.  No issues
[22:57] <mrwes> `brandon, are you running compiz or not?
[22:57] <`brandon> no
[22:58] <`brandon> i am running the newest Ubuntu.
[22:58] <justinnfx> Is there anyway you can use GRUB by istelf without UBUNTU because i messed up my MBR and for some reason I can't install ubuntu on my other pc
[22:58] <DasEi> keithclark: want me to send a cd ? ;-)
[22:58] <sergiu> !pastbin > sergiu
[22:58] <mrwes> `brandon, then go the bottom right corner and right click on the two desktop icons | preferences and change to whatever you want
[22:58] <sergiu> !paste
[22:58] <keithclark> DasEi: of what?  The videos that I want to burn?
[22:58] <`brandon> !pastebin | sergiu
[22:58] <The_Drizzle> Hi everybody. What should my "TERM" bash environment variable be set to?
[22:58] <sebsebseb> justinnfx: ok getting your links
[22:58] <kane77> why did ubuntu withdrawn from GSoC?
[22:58] <DasEi> keithclark: was a joke
[22:59] <keithclark> DasEi: ah, sorry....humour is fading I'm afraid
[22:59] <justinnfx> Can you use GRUB as a bootloader just for windows, without ubuntu installed
[22:59] <sergiu> :)
[22:59] <sebsebseb> justinnfx: you mean just for Ubuntu?
[22:59] <The_Drizzle> justinnfx, why would you need a bootloader without linux installed?
[22:59] <justinnfx> I messed up my other computer boot record and it windows and i am wondering if i can use grub
[23:00] <justinnfx> no ubuntu wont work on that computer i was wondering if could use grub alone
[23:00] <The_Drizzle> justinnfx, Yes, that's possible. You'll need a live/rescue CD
[23:00] <keithclark> DasEi: Just so frustrated.  Machines will boot from the dvd drive.  They will see games from them.  Just not write to them.  makes no sense to me
[23:00] <DasEi> justinnfx: possible, check out supergrubdisk (google)
[23:00] <`brandon> mrwes: thank you
[23:01] <militant> grub has been used in this household as an acceptable bootloader for windows-only pc's.  yes
[23:01] <justinnfx> I can get it starting up i installed another version of xp on it
[23:01] <DasEi> keithclark: thatt's bad; whatexactly do you get ? permission-problems maybe ?
[23:01] <justinnfx> can i just go download grub and it will work
[23:01] <keithclark> DasEi: no, media issues....cannot write to it with the current plugins
[23:01] <justinnfx> can you dual boot two xp's
[23:02] <militant> justinnfx  yes
[23:02] <mrwes> `brandon, sure
[23:02] <keithclark> DasEi: I've tried dvd +RW, CD -RW, DVD +R
[23:02] <sebsebseb> justinnfx: for the md5sum of the ISO,  get this program:  http://www.md5summer.org/download.html  and then  run it and  the code you get for the ISO compare it with the code found here:  http://releases.ubuntu.com/intrepid/MD5SUMS  the codes should match
[23:02] <keithclark> DasEi: Same errors
[23:02] <sebsebseb> justinnfx: yes the latest is a beta so get that
[23:03] <_Whipper> cd/dvd-r works the best..
[23:03] <tsukasa> can someone familiar with dmraid please take a look at this http://pastebin.com/m35a347bd
[23:03] <keithclark> _Whipper: depending on the drive installed
[23:03] <shane8002> is it possible to burn mpeg format to dvd in ubuntu?
[23:03] <justinnfx> What do install first VISTA OR XP if you do that
[23:03] <_Whipper> keithclark: true
[23:03] <justinnfx> I remember i that before and one got whi;ped out
[23:04] <tsukasa> those are the two hds of my raid 0 set, both identified as 320gb capacity, but one supposedly has double the blocks it should and thus dmraid gets confused and can't mount
[23:04] <mrwes> shane8002, dvd format? use DeVeDe
[23:04] <tsukasa> how do i fix that
[23:04] <DasEi> join #windows, justinnfx
[23:05] <shane8002> yeah im tryin to burn movies that are in mpeg format to dvd so i can watch them on a regular dvd player.
[23:05] <_Whipper> *doh*
[23:05] <ka__> is it possible to have a VNC server that only accepts SSH-tunneled connections?
[23:06] <morgan> Is someone aware of a file manager that can search for duplicates based on content/file name and or metadata for linux?
[23:06] <_Whipper> morgan: thunar?
[23:06] <RxDx> i have an ipod touch and i need iTunes.. can i run iTunes with WINE?
[23:06] <justinnfx> idk if there is windows channelon freenode
[23:06] <rww> justinnfx: ##windows
[23:07] <morgan> doh I didn t even try it went to krusader and gnome commander
[23:07] <_Whipper> RxDx: just what that UB has to do with that ?-)
[23:07] <morgan> thanks _Whipper I'll look into it
[23:07] <Bruce> how can i find file libtcl.so?
[23:08] <RxDx> _Whipper, if i can run itunes with wine.. i wont use windows anymore.. ill install ubuntu
[23:08] <Bruce> how should the syntax be?
[23:08] <_Whipper> RxDx: ok
[23:08] <meoblast001> i'm reading online, and there are tutorials that teach how to configure saned but none that teach how to start it... does anyone know how?
[23:08] <_Whipper> RxDx: good luck
[23:08] <RxDx> _Whipper, can i run itunes with wine?
[23:09] <davey____> how do you change the order of operathing systems on an older grub boot screen?
[23:09] <coeus82> hmm, those sound tips didn't work. Is there a way to completely remove pulseaudio including all the settings, then reinstall from scratch?
[23:09] <_Whipper> RxDx: dunno
[23:09] <RxDx> tnks
[23:09] <davey____> rxdx check, apps.wine.com
[23:09] <DasEi> davey____: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[23:09] <davey____> if it's gold it should be good
[23:09] <RxDx> davey____, ill.. thanks dude
[23:10] <davey____> DasEi, is it plain text i can just edit with like pico or something?
[23:10] <DasEi> davey____: yep
[23:10] <The_Drizzle> I am getting an error about "TERM Variable not set" on a bash command line. Any ideas?
[23:11] <rww> The_Drizzle: which terminal emulator are you using? (gnome-terminal, konsole, xterm, etc.)
[23:12] <The_Drizzle> none. This is straight-up command line!
[23:12] <davey____> DasEi, thanks
[23:12] <DasEi> np
[23:12] <sparky_> Ok, so I have a raid 5 setup.  I added another drive to it and it is in the process of reshaping.  I have uped the speed_limit_min from 1000K/s to 10000K/s but I only see a raise in speed from 1500K/s to 3700K/s.  From what I have found thur google it should have increased alot more the just 1200k/s and I have tried other speeds too (lower and higher values).  The max is set at 200000K/s, any suggests on getting to speed up?
[23:13] <dayo> The_Drizzle: http://schestowitz.com/UseNet/2005/August_2005_3/msg00075.html
[23:13] <dayo> The_Drizzle: i googled that just now
[23:13] <davey____> sparky_, raid 5?
[23:14] <sparky_> what?  it is setup on ubuntu 8.04.2 server
[23:14] <The_Drizzle> dayo, I say that, too. Problem is, I'm not using cron. I'm just trying to run "clear"
[23:14] <The_Drizzle> dayo, I saw that, too. Problem is, I'm not using cron. I'm just trying to run "clear"
[23:14] <epaphus> Hello guys, I want to learn how to rename the kernel... does this require me to rebuild the kernel?
[23:15] <Flannel> epaphus: Why do you want to rename the kernel?
[23:15] <_Whipper> :) and what would uyou call it then ?-)
[23:15] <epaphus> Flannel, for recreational purposes only.. :)
[23:16] <_Whipper> epaphus: i think Torwalds would not be very pleased.. :)
[23:17] <epaphus> it will always be linu
[23:17] <epaphus> linux
[23:17] <_VIM_> ka__: yes its possible with x11vnc with a ssh tunnel, and you don't have to have port 5900-5901 open, i think just port 22 for the ssh, then:  ssh -t -L 5900:localhost:5900 user@host '\' 'x11vnc -ncache 20 -localhost -display :0'
[23:18] <davey____> sparky_, i was just wondering, i had to read it a few times on the internet to understand there was such a thing, i'm sorry i'm still running ubuntu 5.1 never seen these options
[23:18] <The_Drizzle> epaphus, You can call it whatever you want as long as grub knows what it's called!
[23:18] <dayo> where do i find the source code of basic commands like ls, cp and cd ?
[23:18] <The_Drizzle> dayo, www.gnu.org?
[23:18] <_Whipper> !kernel
[23:19] <mhall119> dayo: I think they're in the coreutils package, so get the source for that
[23:19] <tq|Memphis> i'm getting problem when i run a movie , screen is blacking , why it happens?
[23:19] <epaphus> The_Drizzle, right.. so for that I just have to download the kernel source and rebuild it.. correct? ...
[23:19] <morgan> ok I've had a look in Thunar but can't find a function to search a folder for duplicates, is that something that needs to be configured /activated first?
[23:19] <militant> that's something i've wondered about lately.  custom kernel builds.  back in my old slackware days, it was essential to build your own, for security and system resources reasons.  is that not the case now?
[23:19] <DasEi> ﻿ tq|Memphis:which app ?
[23:20] <mhall119> morgan: duplicate what?
[23:20] <dayo> mhall119: doing that now. thanks!
[23:20] <_Whipper> epaphus: If you have to ask that, dont..
[23:20] <The_Drizzle> epaphus, You shouldn't even have to do that. Just look in /boot/ for your kernel image and rename it, making sure to tell grub the new name (and run grub-install)
[23:20] <tq|Memphis> DasEi: all ( VCL , Movie Player , Kaffeine
[23:20] <tq|Memphis> DasEi: is it a codec problem?
[23:20] <lampliter> how can I find out why my blacklist entry is not having the desired effect?  it worked on 8.04 but not 8.10
[23:20] <mhall119> tq|Memphis: probably a video driver problem
[23:20] <epaphus> The_Drizzle, would that give me a new name in uname -a ?
[23:20] <mhall119> are you running compiz?
[23:21] <The_Drizzle> epaphus, But as _Whipper said, there's really no reason to do it (other than temping fate on boot problems)
[23:21] <DasEi> ﻿ tq|Memphis:graphic driver correctly installed ? looking for error messages when startin f.e. vlc from terminal ?
[23:21] <morgan> mhall119 search for duplicate files: identical files found in more thanone sub directory
[23:21] <_Whipper> militant: ofcourse u can build your kernel.. but why bother?
[23:21] <davey____> militant, back in the old days they only releaced i386 versions which didn't really use all the instraction sets on the prossessor, i guess now days if the number maches your prossessor it's not as big of a deal
[23:21] <mhall119> morgan: I've never seen that in thunar
[23:21] <DasEi> ﻿ tq|Memphis:vlc brings own codecs, so prbly not
[23:21] <tq|Memphis> DasEi: i'm not good with commands can yo help?
[23:21] <The_Drizzle> epaphus, Oh, you want to change the output from uname?
[23:22] <epaphus> The_Drizzle, thats fine.. i just want to learn.., yes The_Drizzle
[23:22] <morgan> mhall119: are you aware of a file manager that can do that on  Linux
[23:22] <Dante123> Sony Vaio Pentium 4-1500 CPU, 256MB of PC-133 SDRAM <------------------------- Can this handle Ubuntu???
[23:22] <DasEi> ﻿ tq|Memphis:just type vlc in terminal and watch it
[23:22] <militant> davey____   i was just always under the impression a smaller kernel was potentially more stable, and system resources wouldn't be used on things that aren't needed.  trimming it down to just the hardware and functions your particular setup needed.
[23:22] <morgan> I know total commander can
[23:22] <tq|Memphis> DasEi: how can i learn did i install graphic driver correctly
[23:22] <epaphus> i can afford to have the machine unbootable and start again 5 times
[23:22] <Goldwing> Dante123 : yes
[23:22] <_VIM_> Dante123: easily
[23:22] <mhall119> morgan: nope
[23:22] <mhall119> might be add ons to nautilus or thunar that do it
[23:23] <epaphus> _Whipper, The_Drizzle ... isnt /boot in binary format? i dont think i can edit that.. can i?
[23:23] <DasEi> ﻿ tq|Memphis:which ubuntu do you use ?
[23:23] <Dante123> Goldwing and _VIM_  you think gOS gadgets 3.1 or another ubuntu derivative would be better than plain ubuntu given the specs?
[23:23] <_Whipper> militant: true, if you are running server..
[23:23] <_VIM_> Dante123: the 256 ram is a bit low, ram is cheap upgrade :D
[23:23] <morgan> mhall119: ok thanks for the info I'll look into it
[23:23] <mhall119> Dante123: the specs are fine for plain Ubuntu, Xubuntu might swap less
[23:23] <_VIM_> Dante123: im not familar with gOS
[23:23] <tq|Memphis> DasEi: latest version
[23:23] <alvarezp> morgan: you might want to try a command line utility like fdupes or audiosum's audiodup.
[23:23] <mhall119> gOS = Ubuntu with awn
[23:23] <Dante123> _VIM_ not my pc, I do have a stick of pc100 but it uses pc133
[23:23] <OMGwtfROFLlol> hey
[23:24] <_VIM_> Dante123: you mean Google desktop gadgets?
[23:24] <tq|Memphis> DasEi: http://rafb.net/p/V6Gcct95.html
[23:24] <mhall119> _VIM_: it's an ubuntu derivative
[23:24] <Dante123> _VIM_ gOS has google desktop gadgets built in
[23:24] <_VIM_> ah
[23:24] <dr_willis> Ive used google gadgets and desktp under uibuntu also
[23:24] <mhall119> _VIM_: http://www.thinkgos.com
[23:24] <_VIM_> 256 ram for gadgets,,,,,,,,,hmmmmm
[23:24] <_VIM_> me too dr_willis
[23:24] <Dante123> mhall119 what do yo mean by "awn"?
[23:24] <morgan> alvarezp: but what would be the output like cause I then need to select which files to delete
[23:25] <mhall119> Dante123: the original gOS was light weight, then they went heavy, and I think they're going light again in a future release
[23:25] <dr_willis> ive not see too many 'desktop widgits' i could not live without.. :P
[23:25] <DasEi>  !ati | tq|Memphis
[23:25] <davey____> militant, i've never heard of more stability, ofcorse if you hang out at #gentoo the'll tell you anything precompiled is bad, but i don't really think it's a big deal
[23:25] <morgan> I m afraid a cl utility would only show a long list
[23:25] <mhall119> Dante123: AWM = Avant Window Navigator, the fancy dock bar in gOS
[23:25] <tq|Memphis> DasEi: looking
[23:25] <The_Drizzle> epaphus, Here's the easy way "1) mv /bin/uname /bin/uname.orig
[23:25] <The_Drizzle> 2) put the following in the new /bin/uname:
[23:25] <The_Drizzle> #!/bin/sh
[23:25] <The_Drizzle> echo Uname (New Version)
[23:25] <The_Drizzle> /bin/uname.orig"
[23:25] <FloodBot3> The_Drizzle: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:25] <giovanni> aiuto, ho un HD installato, ma non mi ci fa scrivere nulla
[23:26] <dr_willis> The_Drizzle:  seems rather clear to me.
[23:26] <alvarezp> morgan: for fdupes it will be a list of files, grouped by "same", for the other it is too, but with more info per line.
[23:26] <Dante123> oh yes, i have seen it.  mhall119 what would you put on this machine (for a family of four- non-techies)  PC is Sony Vaio Pentium 4-1500 CPU, 256MB of PC-133 SDRAM
[23:26] <tq|Memphis> DasEi: ATI Technologies Inc RV530 [Radeon X1600] -> my card :>
[23:26] <_Whipper> davey____: Linux for pros-1995 will tell you a lot about building :)
[23:27] <mhall119> Dante123: if it had 512 or more memory, I'd use straight Ubuntu
[23:27] <epaphus> The_Drizzle, indeed.. thats an easy way :) .. the hard way is to tebuild the kernel.. correct?
[23:27] <mhall119> 256MB isn't quite enough to run several apps at a time without it swapping to disk
[23:27] <DasEi> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI                    ,tq|Memphis
[23:28] <mhall119> Dante123: if you can't get more memory, Xubuntu will run faster
[23:28] <The_Drizzle> epaphus, I suppose it is. Might I recommend taking an adult education class of some kind if you have this much spare time on your hands? :P
[23:28] <alvarezp> morgan: you might do "fdupes -r dir1 dir2 dir3 > output.txt" or "audiodup -p '*' dir1 dir2 dir3 | cut -d' ' -f 7- > output.txt" and in either case you will get the output captured to a file to load in gedit and precede an "rm " to the files you want to delete and paste those rm commands back in the command line to actually remove them.
[23:28] <Dante123> mhall119 well I don't have any extra ram for this pc (except for pc100 stick but it uses pc133) so it will have to stay with 256.  Would you go Xubuntu over gOs?
[23:29] <alvarezp> morgan: or whatever else you want to do with your result.
[23:29] <epaphus> The_Drizzle, common.. iam sure you as a higher level linux user have rebuild kernels in the past.. havent you?
[23:29] <mhall119> Dante123: yes, like I said, recent gOS releases haven't been any lighter than standard Ubuntu
[23:29] <mhall119> in fact, they've been a bit heavier
[23:29] <davey____> i run ubuntu 6.10 on a machine with either 128 or 256 i remember and it runs fine
[23:29] <militant> Dante123   in a pinch the pc100 will work, the other pc133 in it will clock down to match.  sucks but better than being OUT of memory, as compared to just having slower memory
[23:29] <davey____> and its a pentium 4
[23:29] <dayo> mhall119: found the sources. thanks!
[23:29] <The_Drizzle> epaphus, Sure, many times, but not just to display a different uname!
[23:29] <mhall119> dayo: no problem
[23:29] <morgan> alvarezp: thanks - did you write the second one cause when I google it your pseudo comes up
[23:29] <_Whipper> epaphus: really, library of you go :)
[23:29] <davey____> wisper, ya i should ask my local library for more books, there always out though
[23:30] <Dante123> Any other ubuntu derivative that you think might work well in this situation?
[23:30] <ryanakca> What modules do I need to load to get an atheros 5XXX card working? ath5k? ath_pci? ath_hal? ath_somethingelse?
[23:30] <mhall119> Dante123: xubuntu would work fine
[23:30] <epaphus> The_Drizzle, yeah.. well its an experience .. so that i can say.. i have sucessfully rebuild the kernel and here is the prove hehehehe
[23:30] <alvarezp> morgan: yes. I didn't know fdupes by then.
[23:30] <Dante123> And can  you install xubuntu (and gOS) for that matter under Windows- in case they dont want it.
[23:30] <mhall119> Dante123: you can use just a lightweight window manager like Fluxbox, but at a sacrifice of quite a bit of functionality
[23:30] <The_Drizzle> epaphus, I have actually never rebuilt a custom kernel in Ubuntu... I asked about it here an hour or so and was told it is not a wise decision...
[23:31] <mhall119> especially for non-techies, I wouldn't recommend it
[23:31] <mhall119> Dante123: what ages are the intended users?
[23:31] <epaphus> The_Drizzle, i agree... but if I go for the default configurations.. just change the name i think i should be safe
[23:32] <The_Drizzle> epaphus, Best of luck :)
[23:32] <_Whipper> epaphus: now you are just making joke of lin.. not funny
[23:32] <dayo> mhall119: u wouldn't happen to know of any commands written in python? these are all in C
[23:32] <mhall119> dayo: not the standard shell commands, no
[23:32] <giovanni> aiuto
[23:33] <Dante123> mhall119 I believe the kids and the mom will use it mostly.  The girls are pretty smart, aged 10 and 12
[23:33] <giovanni> iotalian?
[23:33] <rww> !it | giovanni
[23:33] <Dante123> They do the typical msn, surf the web type of stuff with some openoffice stuff thrown in.
[23:33] <epaphus> _Whipper, not my intention. iam only trying to learn the basics of kernel rebuilding when further in my life I have to do it..for a real thing
[23:33] <mhall119> Dante123: You can look at Qimo: www.qimo4kids.com but they're at the upper-end of it's targetted age range
[23:33] <epaphus> The_Drizzle, thank you
[23:33] <mhall119> Dante123: disclaimer: I'm the developer of Qimo, so I'm biased
[23:34] <mhall119> but it's based on Xubuntu, and I know it will run well on that hardware
[23:34] <tq|Memphis> DasEi: it didnt work , any other suggestion?
[23:34] <_Whipper> epaphus: then do some real work.. read, read, try, and buy a new machine and read again :)
[23:34] <mhall119> and sorry to the room moderators for advertising, but it was relevant
[23:35] <DasEi> tq|Memphis: system > prferences > graphics driver, or -at your own risk :
[23:35] <DasEi>  !envyNG
[23:35] <Dante123> mhall119 what comes with it?  Open office?  chat client?
[23:35] <mhall119> no open office, Abiword though
[23:36] <mhall119> it points to the Ubuntu repos, so you can install openoffice if you want
[23:36] <mhall119> or gnumeric to balance out Abiword
[23:36] <mrwes> Dante123, pssssst.....'PuppyLinux'
[23:36] <mhall119> Puppy is nice and small, but it uses JWM or something like that, doesn't it?
[23:37] <mrwes> yah Joe's
[23:37] <mhall119> his hardware isn't that old
[23:37] <_Whipper> mrwes: i'd rather recommend DSL, or DSL-N if short on mem..
[23:37] <mhall119> it can handle XFCE without any problems
[23:37] <mhall119> 256MB of memory isn't exactly short on mem
[23:37] <Dante123> mrwes, yeah I know puppy pretty well.  But not as nice looking or as easy to install programs to as the add/remove in ubuntu.  Plus I teach one of the girls and she is in my class and we have three dell mini 9's with ubuntu...and she is familiar with it.
[23:37] <mrwes> nod
[23:37] <epaphus> _Whipper, sure... give me an example of something in real life where somebody would want to tweak the kernel for? ill do it
[23:38] <militant> i ran a heck of a lamp box on 172mb, and still used it as a workstation with X/e16/etc.   but that was years ago
[23:38] <mhall119> epaphus: using a different scheduler, or some file system not included by default
[23:38] <mhall119> or PAE on a 32bit system
[23:38] <_Whipper> epaphus: ? you brought this up, now it ends from my side..
[23:39] <Dante123> mhall119 does it have pidgin or chat client built in?
[23:39] <nightrid3r> militant: the cobalt raq4 hosting server had only 64MB
[23:40] <carl_> g4 12 inch power book ubuntu  intrepid   used medibuntu got ibm jre  want to make link so works in browser how do i do it
[23:40] <andresmh> I'm stuck at the airport for 10 hrs and I want to find the spot with the best WiFi signal strength to any open network. Is there an app that would allow me to see the strength as I walk around trying to catch the best spot? The gnome network applet seems to update very slowly, definitely not enough to walk around
[23:40] <mhall119> Dante123: it has pidgin and xchat
[23:41] <keithclark> I really need help here with burning discs.  Every disc I though at my burners comes up with "can't write to that disc with the current plug ins"
[23:41] <mhall119> and again, you have access to the Ubuntu repos, so you can install anything extra you want before giving it out
[23:41] <keithclark> I've tried everything
[23:41] <Dante123> mhall119 i may download and try in virtualbox first.  Thanks
[23:42] <mhall119> Dante123: leave any feedback you have, it's a 1.0 release, so we're looking for ways to improve it
[23:42] <noodlesgc> keithclark which burning application are you using?
[23:42] <keithclark> noodlesgc: all of them
[23:42] <_Whipper> andresmh: you have a cellphone ?-)
[23:42] <andresmh> no phone _Whipper
[23:42] <mhall119> keithclark: I doubt that
[23:43] <keithclark> Ok, name one
[23:43] <mhall119> Brasero
[23:43] <mhall119> K3B
[23:43] <keithclark> I've been at this with 4 machines for days
[23:43] <mhall119> cdrecord
[23:43] <carl_> gnome baker
[23:43] <_Whipper> andresmh: so it will look kind of funny you wlooking around with the laptop open :)
[23:43] <noodlesgc> keithclark the three that work well for me are K3B, Brasero and GnomeBaker
[23:43] <keithclark> yes, yes, yes, yes
[23:43] <mhall119> keithclark: CD or DVD?
[23:44] <keithclark> mhall119: dvd/cd(vcd)
[23:44] <andresmh> _Whipper, I know, I don't care :)
[23:44] <mhall119> keithclark: is the disk a DVD or CD?
[23:44] <keithclark> mhall119: i've tried dvd and cd
[23:44] <_Whipper> andresmh: in that case.. there are plenty.. just do some googling..
[23:45] <mhall119> keithclark: do you have an ISO or what?  what kind of file are you using as your source?
[23:45] <Platypus-Man> I'm trying to set up a Remote Desktop conenction between my Ubuntu PC and a Tablet PC running a stripped Windows version, the RD screen on Windows has a field named 'Domain' that I am unsure on what to fill with. I've tried IP address of the Ubuntu PC, router, +port number, 'local' 'localhost' etc...
[23:45] <andresmh> have you tried any of them _Whipper? I tried WiFi radar but doesn't seem to update at all
[23:45] <mhall119> Platypus-Man: have you tried leaving it blank?
[23:45] <Platypus-Man> yes
[23:45] <mhall119> Platypus-Man: screw RD, can you use VNC?
[23:46] <_Whipper> andresmh: i've tried a few that works.. but i dont recommend to do so ..
[23:46] <Platypus-Man> can't install any software on this tablet pc, the default apps will have to do..
[23:46] <Marrc> hola
[23:47] <_Whipper> ola
[23:47] <keithclark> mhall119: video files
[23:47] <mhall119> Platypus-Man: what are you running on the Ubuntu box to offer RDP?
[23:47] <noodlesgc> Platypus-Man you could try WORKGROUP, and MSHOME
[23:47] <mhall119> keithclark: ah, you're probably having to convert them to MPEG, and don't have what you need to do that
[23:47] <mhall119> keithclark: try installing ffmpeg
[23:47] <mhall119> see if that helps
[23:48] <keithclark> mhall119: I cannot erase the disc without an error.  Before I even begin to write to the disc!
[23:48] <Platypus-Man> mhall119: I've tried the default and Gnome-RDP
[23:48] <mhall119> Platypus-Man: that's a client I believe
[23:48] <mhall119> keithclark: wait what?  you're trying to erase a DVD-R?
[23:48] <Platypus-Man> in Remote Desktop Viewer on Ubuntu, under "hosts nearby" it seems to find the host on this PC
[23:48] <_Whipper> keithclark: your HW in shape? no funny sounds?
[23:49] <mhall119> Platypus-Man: that's using VNC, not RDP
[23:49] <mhall119> Platypus-Man: does your tablet have Java installed?
[23:49] <keithclark> mhall119: I've tried to burn straight.  Tried to erase first.  Nothing works
[23:49] <keithclark> _Whipper: all machines are in good shape.
[23:50] <keithclark> _Whipper: all run fine under xp
[23:50] <CostaRicanQuaker> anyone know a program i can get to edit video, specifically to add subtitles to a video i want to download
[23:50] <Platypus-Man> mhall119: don't think so... I'll try something with Gnome-RDP now, saw a dropdown with choice of SSH\RDP\VNC there
[23:50] <Marrc> holaaa
[23:50] <Marrc> how are you
[23:50] <mhall119> keithclark: install ffmpeg, and try burning straight again
[23:50] <Sibert|TWw> i need help with the countdown of gDesklets
[23:50] <_Whipper> CostaRicanQuaker: sourceforge
[23:51] <mhall119> Platypus-Man: again, that's the viewer, it doesn't make your Ubuntu desktop available to others
[23:51] <CostaRicanQuaker> _Whipper, sudo apt-get sourceforge ?
[23:51] <noodlesgc> CostaRicanQuaker I believe that AVIDemux can add subtitles to video
[23:51] <_Whipper> CostaRicanQuaker: site, not a program :)
[23:51] <keithclark> mhall119: ffmpeg is installed already.  On all machines
[23:52] <CostaRicanQuaker> _Whipper, wait, i go on a website and i'm able to subtitle a file on my computer?
[23:52] <foormea> hi
[23:52] <Sibert> i need help with the countdown of gDesklets
[23:52] <_Whipper> CostaRicanQuaker: nah.. thats the source for stuff like that..
[23:52] <foormea> anyone experiencing sudden problems with gtalk that is not reachable from kopete/pidgin??
[23:52] <mhall119> keithclark: what format are your source files?
[23:53] <CostaRicanQuaker> _Whipper, http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/ ?
[23:53] <keithclark> mhall119: does it matter?  I cannot blank the discs without an error.  They are .avis
[23:53] <calmor15014> foormea - I just tried to send something to a friend on gtalk and it got refused (503 error)
[23:53] <mhall119> keithclark: I'm still not sure why you're trying to blank the disc
[23:53] <foormea> but you can connect to gtalk from pidgin/kopete?
[23:53] <_Whipper> CostaRicanQuaker: dunno.. ist that a french-site?-)
[23:54] <mhall119> keithclark: I'm not sure then, I haven't seen this problem before
[23:54] <keithclark> mhall119: if I don't, it still gives me an error....cannot write to the disc with the current plugins
[23:54] <Platypus-Man> mhall119: do you know about any good Remote Desktop Hosts then?
[23:54] <keithclark> mhall119: if it was on one machine, I would have no problem at all.
[23:54] <keithclark> But on 4?
[23:54] <mhall119> keithclark: I'm pretty sure it's having a problem converting your source file to the format needed for DVD (mpeg2 I think)
[23:54] <foormea> calmor15014: what do you use to connect to gtalk?
[23:54] <mhall119> Platypus-Man: no
[23:55] <CostaRicanQuaker> _Whipper, i dont know, you said that programme could work,
[23:55] <calmor15014> Pidgin
[23:55] <Sibert> who can help me with gDesklets
[23:55] <CostaRicanQuaker> anyone else know a program to subtitle videos?
[23:55] <mhall119> Platypus-Man: but some of the VNC servers provide java applets that the tablet might be able to use
[23:55] <foormea> calmor15014: ok
[23:55] <_Whipper> CostaRicanQuaker: no i did not
[23:55] <calmor15014> foormea - is that the same error you're getting?
[23:55] <Platypus-Man> okay mhall119, will try to check that out
[23:55] <Platypus-Man> thanks for the help
[23:55] <mhall119> no problem
[23:55] <noodlesgc> CostaRicanQuaker sorry that was me, Avidemux cannot add them?
[23:55] <_Whipper> CostaRicanQuaker: scroll up, and see who said so..
[23:56] <keithclark> mhall119: have you tried burning a dvd+rw, dvd +r with 8.10?
[23:56] <CostaRicanQuaker> noodlesgc, i don't know, i'm asking you...have you tried/done so?
[23:56] <CostaRicanQuaker> sudo apt-get avidemux ?
[23:56] <_Whipper> keithclark: i have, and all succeeded

[23:57] <kaski> _Whipper: me and your mom, all night long
[23:57] <keithclark> _Whipper: sorry......I guess my hardware is really unique.  I just could not believe it.
[23:57] <noodlesgc> CostaRicanQuaker try this: sudo apt-get install avidemux-qt
