[00:00] <LapTirma> Kir
[00:00] <tacoma949> Kirill_, haha whats up, what are u trying to do?
[00:00] <mibdavid> can someone point me in a direction where I can see what the options in the live disk boot menu mean?
[00:00] <LapTirma> Kirill_: did you try gparted?
[00:00] <Kirill_> Not yet
[00:00] <erUSUL> syockit: if you want a file browser for terminal use Midnight commander
[00:00] <tacoma949> LapTirma, i tried gparted, its not really all to be what it looks to be :/
[00:00] <erUSUL> !info mc | syockit
[00:01] <sonink> Has anyone ever had problems where the X server doesn't allow full resolution and color depth if a system is unable to pull an IP address?  Or does this sound like a misdiagnosis?  I think it may be due to the connection to the monitor.  Is there a way to check X error logs to find the cause?
[00:01] <tacoma949> ugh, i need to clean my room :(
[00:01] <Kirill_> tacoma949 -> I have a 500GB SATA drive formatted into Journaled HFS+ and filled with 316GB of data. I have a newly purchased unformatted 1000GB External USB drive with 0 data on it and showing 5 megabytes of free space.
[00:02] <tacoma949> sonink, how old is the monitor, lol
[00:02] <Kirill_> tacoma949 -> I need to move 316GB worth of data to 1000GB drive and have it readable by a Mac. Files are larger than 10GB
[00:02] <Kirill_> I have Ubuntu, WinXP, Vista, Clonezilla and bootable flash drive at my disposal
[00:03] <tacoma949> Kirill_, have u tried formating the drive yet? or is that where your stuck?
[00:03] <DasEi> ﻿sonink: iop resolvinc and the x-system don't rely on each other
[00:03] <DasEi> ip*
[00:03] <solusdelgar1> in windows i bridged my wireless and wired connections allowing my xbox 360 to connect to the internet through my laptop. is it possible to do this in ubuntu? my wireless card seems to be working fine in ubuntu so far so drivers should not be a problem
[00:03] <Kirill_> tacoma949 -> That's where I'm stuck :( And even if I manage to format it, I don't think I can WRITE to it
[00:03] <DasEi> !ics | solusdelgar1
[00:04] <DasEi> solusdelgar1: possible, yes
[00:04] <tacoma949> Kirill_, because you think the drive is bad or just doing something wrong?
[00:04] <cptblood> well, cant u format it with osx filesystem?
[00:04] <solusdelgar1> thanks
[00:04] <sonink> tacoma, the monitor is a relatively new Dell LCD, but the system in question is one of two PC's connected to a Belkin 2-way KVM, which I think may be causing the problem.
[00:04] <Kirill_> tacoma949 -> The drive was external in the past. I ripped it out of the chassis when it died. It seems to be working but is making clicking noises. I don't know how much longer it will last
[00:04] <solusdelgar1> i love this channel
[00:04] <DasEi> cptblood: see man mkfs for available filesystems
[00:04] <cptblood> and use macdisk in windows to write to the disk
[00:04] <Kirill_> cptblood -> Don't have an apple computer anywhere :(
[00:05] <cptblood> well, if u format the 1tb drive with ntfs, u can read from that in osx or whatever
[00:05] <Kirill_> cptblood -> Can you?
[00:05] <cptblood> writing outside windows is harder tho
[00:05] <cptblood> yes
[00:05] <sonink> dasEi, I didn't think they were dependent either but my boss thinks they are for some reason.  I think it might just be a coincidence that the box isn't pulling an IP
[00:05] <tacoma949> Kirill_, k, old trick, start light then u can go harder on it but a nice tap on the table with it will stop the clicking
[00:05] <cptblood> osx/linux can read from ntfs, writing is harder
[00:05] <Kirill_> yeah, my client will have no way of working with files then b/c this will be his only large storage
[00:06] <Kirill_> tacoma949 -> so far all the files open up fine
[00:06] <DasEi> sonink: again, the xserver is not dependant from networking
[00:06] <cptblood> well, cant u use you client's hw to format it to hfs?
[00:06] <tacoma949> Kirill_,  once you get the transfer going it will hit spots that will make it click
[00:06] <Kirill_> He's kind of far away...
[00:07] <cptblood> how's he gonna utilize it then?
[00:07] <Kirill_> Thanks tacoma949, I'll keep that in mind
[00:07] <tacoma949> Kirill_, transfer like 20 to 50 gigs at a time so your always making positive progress to saving all the data
[00:07] <Kirill_> Well he will take it back and hook it up to his Mac and give me money lol
[00:07] <slerder> HEy guys. Im tryring to reinstall ubuntu but for some reason I cant boot from my only dvd-drive i have which is USB. I even disabled booting from hard drives, set usb-cdrom to first boot device... went directly to the boot menu and selected usb-cdrom and nothing it simply wont boot. what can i do ? Thanks. Ps i have a gigabyte EP45-UD3R
[00:07] <brett__> balls
[00:07] <sethm13> Hi everyone
[00:07] <tacoma949> sethm13, yo
[00:07] <sethm13> What's going on?
[00:07] <cptblood> otherwise, format with fat32 and split files at 4gb ;)
[00:08] <brett__> hello!
[00:08] <Kirill_> gparted can format to hfs+ i think
[00:08] <tacoma949> slerder, can u pull it out of its ubs sleve?
[00:08] <sethm13> Ok, I was wondering if anyone in here would be able to help me out. I'm having a problem with WINE
[00:08] <mibdavid> Hey LapTirma! the acpi off helped me load up ubuntu again, thanks alot!
[00:08] <erUSUL> !ask  | sethm13
[00:08] <Rabbitbunny> I'm trying to install libpcap-dev, it apt-get gets to 'Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com' and stalls, Hints?
[00:08] <sethm13> Oh, ok. Sorry about that.
[00:09] <tacoma949> sethm13, sure, i hate when they do that ask! thing lol, whatsup
[00:09] <LapTirma> mibdavid: YRW. If you want to boot to windows, you may to play with grub. Google it. Plenty of infor
[00:09] <LjL> Rabbitbunny: archive.ubuntu.com is currently down, wait a couple of minutes
[00:09] <Rabbitbunny> LjL: Oh. Thanks.
[00:10] <DasEi> ﻿cptblood: I think ntfs will best for your propose
[00:10] <LjL> Rabbitbunny: actually, it seems back up already - try now
[00:10] <cptblood> not me wh's got a problem, it's Kirill_
[00:10] <sethm13> :D
[00:10] <sethm13> Well, I'm having a problem trying to copy files into the C: directory for WINE. I can't seem to find the WINE folder. I go to my home folder, but there's no sign of .wine and I can't seem to find it elsewhere. Anybody have any ideas?
[00:10] <Rabbitbunny> LjL: ...So... you have a switch for the servers eh?
[00:10] <Kirill_> DasEi -> Will my client be able to open it and write to it on his MacOSX though....
[00:11] <LjL> Rabbitbunny: eh?
[00:11] <Rabbitbunny> sethm13: It's hidden, right click, "show hidden"
[00:11] <BOZG> sethm13: .wine is a hidden folder
[00:11] <Rabbitbunny> LjL: Worked perfectly, Thanks
[00:11] <sethm13> Oh. Wow. Thank you :)
[00:11] <DasEi> Kirill_: ntfs ? yes
[00:11] <sonink> DasEi: any idea if or how the KVM connection could be causing the problem?  I think a direct connection to the monitor has solved the problem in the past.  Does X have error logs I could check for hints?
[00:11] <tacoma949> sethm13, when ever there is a . in front of a file its linux's way of hiding a file
[00:11] <sethm13> Oh, yup. There it is. Thanks for the help everyone
[00:11] <tacoma949> sethm13, its there, just unhide :)
[00:12] <sethm13> Oh. That's good to know
[00:12] <tacoma949> sethm13, welcome
[00:12] <Kirill_> DasEi -> Sorry, I am just confused because I saw in some places that it could not
[00:13] <DasEi> sonink: kvm might be, check /var/log/syslog and /var/log/Xorg.0.log for errors (KVM on), or do a customized xorg.conf, that overrides the (false) detection of kvm
[00:13] <mrwes> tacoma949, well..there are better ways to hide files and directories }:)
[00:14] <sonink> DasEi: okay.  I'll check that out.  Thanks
[00:14] <LapTirma> exit
[00:16] <tacoma949> mrwes, haha, very true, im mexican so i do it the cheep way
[00:16] <mrwes> tacoma949, ahh..I love Negro Especialle
[00:17] <mrwes> :)
[00:17] <Time`s_Witness> when does 9.04 come ? is the date known?
[00:17] <tacoma949> mrwes, fosho
[00:17] <syockit> erUSUL: holy tuna, this thing's powerful! why didn't I come across this sooner? thanks for telling!
[00:17] <DasEi> Kirill_: ntfs is fully supported by ubuntu, for mac there is a tool from paragon for full write-access
[00:17] <tacoma949> 24 days
[00:17] <tacoma949> 23
[00:17] <sbt> I have a new ibm thinkpad x200 with a core2 and 4gb of ram. I recently installed ubuntu, but only 2.9gb of ram is visible. somebody suggested to me that I should try to install the 64 bit version to make use of all the ram. What should I do?
[00:17] <DasEi> ﻿sbt:did you install 32 bit ?
[00:17] <DasEi> did*
[00:18] <tacoma949> sbt, go 64
[00:18] <Time`s_Witness> is it known if 9.04 will correct the bug with microphone of 8.10? That we can't make it work?
[00:18] <Kirill_> DasEi -> thanks but i have to assume the user of this drive is technically illeterate. My plan now is to format the drive in hfs+ using gparted and then use clonezilla to clone the drive
[00:18] <YiamiYo> hi...i want to make a bootable usb flash with linux...i have tried about 6-7 how to's but my usb never boot...i found this http://www.pendrivelinux.com/install-a-new-mbr-to-your-usb-flash-device/ and i think that is the answer in my problem since my usb is Kingston Data Traveler 4GB...but the tutorial is for ubuntu...can anyone tell me what to do at openSUSE?
[00:18] <tacoma949> Kirill_, bad choice
[00:19] <balrog__> how do you stop kile from loading the splash screen?
[00:19] <sbt> tacoma949: I thought core2 was a 32bit proc. will it work automatically with 64 bit?
[00:19] <DasEi> Kirill_: if the files arent too big, fat32 is another offer (no additional drivers)
[00:19] <DasEi> sbt: install 64 bit
[00:19] <DasEi> ram > sbt
[00:19] <tacoma949> sbt, ya just g 64
[00:19] <DasEi> !ram > sbt
[00:19] <sbt> ok thanks for the info
[00:20] <tacoma949> go* i mean
[00:20] <ChoboMog> Hey!  I'm familiar with using commands like "dropdownmenu" in Compiz (accessibility>Opacity, brightness and saturation>Opacity), and I've sued it to make my menus and Gnome panels transparent.  However, does anyone know the command to make the Calendar, which drops down below the clock, transparent?
[00:20] <Kirill_> tacoma949 -> Whyy?
[00:20] <Kirill_> DasEi -> The files are 10GB+
[00:21] <tacoma949> ChoboMog, it looks cool but ull get tired of it in t-10hrs and just go right back to no transparent lol
[00:21] <DasEi> Kirill_: I see, sorry for me having no apple
[00:21] <unmasker> ask('vas');
[00:21] <tacoma949> Kirill_, because u said ur drive was clicking before
[00:23] <tacoma949> Kirill_, how  important is ur data to u? can u live without it or do u sleep with it at night?
[00:23] <Kirill_> tacoma949 -> I actually hear no clicking noises. That was a second hand account from my client
[00:23] <Kirill_> It's important :P
[00:23] <tacoma949> Kirill_, what do u mean, the drive never clicked on u? o then clone it
[00:24] <ChoboMog> tacoma949, lol Yeah I know some transparencies can get annoying after a while, but I was hoping to give it a try.  I actually have my other menus' values set to like 90%, so they're only slightly transparent anyway.  I was just hoping to do the same for the calendar to make it look more unified.
[00:24] <mrwes> tacoma949, with dd ?
[00:24] <Mean_Admin> does Samba listen to all NIC cards by default ?
[00:24] <tacoma949> mrwes, que?
[00:24] <DasEi> ﻿Mean_Admin:nope, you configure it in smb.conf by ip
[00:24] <mrwes> tacoma949, clone the drive with dd ?
[00:25] <Huufarted> Anybody able to give me a hand with a NIC issue?  It's a gigabit NIC, lspci shows it as gigabit, but it links up as 100 megabit and transfers only go about 11 megabytes/sec instead of the usual 50
[00:25] <Mean_Admin> DasEi: all right thanks
[00:25] <tacoma949> mrwes, no, he said earlier that his drive was clicking then he was gonna clone it, but turns out that wasent what he ment
[00:25] <DasEi> Huufarted: what says ifconfig ?
[00:26] <Huufarted> DasEi: stand by a sec, please.
[00:26] <chop> =D
[00:26] <chop> hey guys )=
[00:26] <Ax3> !jaunty | Ax3
[00:26] <mrwes> DasE1, You set the smbusers in the smb.conf -- that's new to me
[00:27] <Huufarted> DasEi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/141057/   It's eth1
[00:27] <Huufarted> DasEi: ifconfig doesn't display link speed as far as I know, though.
[00:28] <keli> Enter text here...oi
[00:28] <keli> sou brasileira
[00:29] <keli> oi
[00:29] <Huufarted> test/quit
[00:29] <keli> ola
[00:29] <Huufarted> DasEi: sorry.  Did you respond?  Tried re-negotiating link speed.  Still gave me 100 mbit, though.
[00:30] <dyek> Hi! If I want to restore ALSA, PulseAudio, and Bluetooth packages to the initial state when Ubuntu Hardy is first installed, is there a specific dpkg-reconfigure command that I can run?
[00:30] <mrwes> Huufarted, did you add the smbuser?
[00:30] <DasEi> Huufarted: I'm just looking, had that option on an item 2 weeks ago, moment
[00:30] <Huufarted> mrwes: elaborate please?
[00:31] <mrwes> Huufarted, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba << pretty straight forward
[00:32] <Huufarted> mrwes, I apologize but I don't have any issues with Samba.
[00:32] <Huufarted> mrwes: I think you saw someone else's question, not mine.
[00:32] <Joeseph> Hi.  I'm using Ubuntu Studio Edition.  I recently purchased a new flat screen monitor--  It is capable of DVI and VGA inputs.  Would I be able to tell a difference if I put in a DVI capable video card and used that instead of my current VGA card?
[00:32] <mrwes> Huufarted, hrmm... sorry my bad :)
[00:32] <Huufarted> mrwes, I'll let it slide this time.  ;P
[00:33] <ianm_> Joeseph: do you see pixels bleeding into each other with the VGA?
[00:33] <mrwes> Huufarted, no sleep + work = mistakes
[00:33] <mrwes> heh
[00:33] <Huufarted> haha
[00:33] <ianm_> anyone have a GeForce 8200 on-board?  how is the Ubuntu support and performance?
[00:33] <nado> Huufarted, type iwconfig
[00:33] <karasuman> I have a quick question.  I want to open a program from the command line but be able to close the terminal window without closing the program.  for instance, gedit.  how do I do that?
[00:33] <Huufarted> nado, it's not wireless.  gigabit can't be wireless (with current technology)
[00:33] <Joeseph> ianm_: Not really...  Of course, this monitor is leaps and bounds ahead of the old CRT I had.
[00:33] <nado> Huufarted, oh my bad
[00:34] <nado> Huufarted, then install ethtool
[00:34] <mrwes> karasuman, use screen
[00:34] <ianm_> Joeseph: my guess is it would be better, but perhaps not in an important way
[00:34] <mrwes> !screen | karasuman
[00:35] <karasuman> I've used that, but it's still a little more clutter than I was hoping for.  :-/  Is there no way to unassociate a program from the shell if you opened it from the shell?
[00:35] <LjL> karasuman: well, for starters, you could always start it with Alt+F2 instead... anyway, nohup program &
[00:35] <LjL> mrwes: isn't screen a bit overkill?
[00:35] <Joeseph> ianm_: Alright.  I have a DVI card somewhere around here.... but it was giving me trouble before... I'll give it another try though. Thanks.
[00:35] <stevea_> hi i got a question if anyone has the time
[00:35] <mrwes> LjL, yah I guess so :)
[00:35] <DasEi> sudo ethtool -s eth1 speed 1000,  Huufarted
[00:35] <nado> Huufarted, then check this out : http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-change-the-speed-and-duplex-settings-of-an-ethernet-card/
[00:35] <Huufarted> !ask | stevea_
[00:35] <kaveh> ok after a lot of google-ing i have failed to find a reason or even anyone else comment on this - anybody able to help me with this? ventrilo (voip) is giving me very loud upper-tones and no lowertones aswell some slight distortion on a codec/server that works fine on windows. im using alsa right now - also any command i use involving pulseaudio "fails to parse" - ill keep lookn but if anyone has any help they can offer?
[00:35] <karasuman> thank you, LjL, that's what I wanted. :)
[00:35] <Huufarted> nado, thanks.  :)  Checking that out now
[00:36] <mrwes> LjL, guess it depends on the process he wants to run
[00:36] <LjL> mrwes: well he did mention gedit
[00:36] <karasuman> I'm a she
[00:36] <mrwes> heh...pretty demanding process no? :)
[00:36] <karasuman> I just want to run octave and open new files as I need them without... clicking.  I don't know. :)
[00:37] <LjL> mrwes: err, what does gemanding have to do with it?
[00:37] <mrwes> LjL, it was a joke :(
[00:37] <mrwes> bad one
[00:37] <arrrghhh> anyone use mt-daap or firefly?
[00:37] <mrwes> arrrghhh, I do
[00:37] <Kirill_> wtf
[00:37] <Kirill_> gparted crashed on me!
[00:37] <arrrghhh> mrwes, did you install it from the repo's?
[00:38] <mrwes> arrrghhh, yes
[00:38] <karasuman> thanks again for the help, mrwes and LjL
[00:38] <Joeseph> Out of curiosity, does anyone know if Rhythmbox is planning on supporting transferring video to and from your ipod anytime soon? I'm getting frustrated having to use something else to transfer video.
[00:38] <stevea_> ok i,m new to ubuntu i got it installed in windows xp and then boot to this on startup i was wanting to install this program by it self but i,m afraid it will not setup my video drivers and other drivers does anyone know if it will or will i have trouble with it if i do that?
[00:39] <arrrghhh> mrwes, mine fails, it runs for like 2 seconds and tells me it can't add a file... i was trying to compile a nightly (or something newer) and i can't resolve the dependencies...
[00:39] <Myxed> anybody in here using VPN to work?
[00:39] <DasEi> stevea_: little hard to follow, you want to use wubi ?
[00:39] <mrwes> arrrghhh, hrmm..well the repo version runs just fine, try that one and then edit the /etc/mt-daapd.conf file
[00:39] <Myxed> Let me rephrase, anybody in here able to connect to Juniper VPN using Ubuntu?
[00:40] <stevea_> did anyone read that?
[00:40] <arrrghhh> mrwes, i did, it runs for 2 secs and if i check my syslog it says it can't add 1 file.  it seemingly "crashes" after that, as it's no longer running.
[00:40] <arrrghhh> mrwes, maybe i should run it without any music first?
[00:40] <Huufarted> nado, what's the difference between mii-tool and ethtool?  I can't seem to get ethtool to make any changes.  I get a constant "Operation not permitted".  I am running the commands as root.
[00:40] <mrwes> arrrghhh, that's the purpose of running the repo version, as dependencies are met
[00:41] <jsphillips86> Anyone running Jaunty on a Macbook?
[00:41] <arrrghhh> mrwes, yes, that's why i tried the repo version first.  i only tried to compile after it failed to run.
[00:41] <mrwes> arrrghhh, you try going to the admin gui via your browser? http://localhost:3689 ?
[00:41] <nado> Huufarted, they are the same for what you want to do
[00:41] <balrog__> how do you stop kile from loading the splash screen?
[00:41] <Myxed> Huufarted from WOW Stormreaver???
[00:41] <Huufarted> nado, ok.
[00:41] <arrrghhh> mrwes, it's not there as mt-daap stops on that error.
[00:42] <stevea_> ok
[00:42] <mrwes> arrrghhh, did you edit the mt-daapd.conf file?
[00:42] <Huufarted> Myxed, correct.  Please send me a private tell in game or here to keep things on ctopic
[00:42] <stevea_> anyone?
[00:42] <jsphillips86> What is the command for me to upgrade to the beta?
[00:42] <arrrghhh> mrwes, yessir.  i think i should try running it w/o a music directory...
[00:43] <LjL> !jaunty > jsphillips86    (jsphillips86, see the private message from ubottu)
[00:43] <Myxed> VPN, Anyone?
[00:43] <mrwes> arrrghhh, what directory are you using?
[00:44] <arrrghhh> mrwes, for my music?
[00:44] <mrwes> arrrghhh, yah
[00:44] <jsphillips86> r
[00:44] <LjL> stevea_, i've read it, and i haven't understood a word of it
[00:44] <stevea_> ok i,m new to ubuntu i got it installed in windows xp and then boot to this on startup i was wanting to install this program by it self but i,m afraid it will not setup my video drivers and other drivers does anyone know if it will or will i have trouble with it if i do that?
[00:44] <arrrghhh> mrwes, don't see how this helps, /media/200GB/Music/
[00:45] <mrwes> arrrghhh, I was just wondering if it was a permissions issue on the directory
[00:45] <stevea_> and why not its as plain as the nose on your face
[00:45] <arrrghhh> mrwes, well it doesn't fail on the *first* file.  unless it starts in the "d"s lol.
[00:45] <bc> what needs to be running so that a Windows client using Remote Desktop is able to connect to this Ubuntu box?
[00:45] <Slart> stevea_: what program are you talking about?
[00:45] <LjL> stevea_: if you say so. what is "this program"? who did you install ubuntu "in" windows? which "it" should setup drivers?
[00:45] <cwraig> does anyone know where i can get an nmap-4.85BETA5 deb so i can scan my windows clients for conficker
[00:45] <stevea_> ubuntu
[00:46] <arrrghhh> bc, uh the other way is easy.  not sure about the other way.
[00:46] <Slart> stevea_: ubuntu is an operating system.. quake 4 is a program
[00:46] <arrrghhh> bc, sorry said that retarded.  ubuntu -> win rdp = easy.  win -> ubuntu rdp, not sure.
[00:46] <Slart> stevea_: so you used wubi?
[00:46] <bc> arrrghhh: I've done it once before, but now something that is needed isn't running, and I have no idea what "it" was :)
[00:46] <stevea_> yes i know that thats what i,m talking about
[00:46] <nado> cwraig, apt-get install nmap ?
[00:46] <stevea_> ubuntu 8.10
[00:46] <LjL> stevea_: then explain it to us in the correct words
[00:47] <nado> cwraig, is that what you are looking for ?
[00:47] <arrrghhh> bc, well vino is the client in 8.10.  i don't know what a server would be, unless you used vnc...
[00:47] <LjL> if you know it - because we aren't mind readers
[00:47] <arrrghhh> or if there's some terminal services you can enable, i don't know.
[00:47] <LjL> stevea_: if your question was "i have installed Ubuntu using Wubi; i would prefer to install it natively, but will my video and other drivers work like they do in Wubi if i do that?" -- then the answer is "yes"
[00:47] <bc> arrrghhh: ahh vino is running. any idea what port it uses? nmap isn't available.. how else would I find out?
[00:47] <stevea_> ok i,m new to ubuntu i got it installed in windows xp and then boot to this on startup i was wanting to install this program by it self but i,m afraid it will not setup my video drivers and other drivers does anyone know if it will or will i have trouble with it if i do that?
[00:47] <cwraig> nado, you need the beta5 build i cannot find a deb anywhere for it do you have any ideas where to look?
[00:48] <Slart> stevea_: I still don't understand.. you have installed ubuntu and it's working, right? what are you trying to do? install it again on another computer? install without wubi on the same computer? upgrade?
[00:48] <arrrghhh> bc, i think the default is 5900.
[00:48] <stevea_> no i was going to install it on this pc without it being installed in windows xp
[00:49] <bc> arrrghhh: I'll poke around, thanks
[00:49] <LjL> *sighs*
[00:49] <nado> cwraig, http://nmap.org/download.html
[00:49] <Slart> stevea_: that would be "reinstalling ubuntu but without using wubi"
[00:49] <nado> cwraig, just build it
[00:49] <arrrghhh> bc, i'm sure someone's done it.  g00gle :D
[00:49] <cwraig> nado, yea ill have to, thanks
[00:49] <Slart> stevea_: then I guess LjL's answer would be valid
[00:49] <stevea_> ok if i do that will i have problems with drivers for video and sound
[00:50] <DasEi> !hardware > stevea_
[00:51] <stevea_> or will ubuntu install all the drivers i will need for my system?
[00:51] <arrrghhh> stevea_, most drivers you'll need are built into the kernel.  the only ones that aren't are closed-source (for the most part) like video cards, some wifi controllers, etc.
[00:52] <Myxed> stevea_:  it should install all the drivers you need
[00:52] <LjL> stevea_: it will install the same drivers that it would install when you install it "in windows xp".
[00:52] <bc> arrrghhh: yeah, just have to fix the 'cannot open display' thing. i'll get it, thanks!
[00:52] <LjL> it doesn't USE windows xp's drivers. it ALWAYS uses its OWN drivers, stevea_
[00:52] <LjL> regardless of how you install it
[00:53] <stevea_> thank you jackpot thats what i was asking thank you very much
[00:54] <y2k> hey, i'll be reading a chapter from my bible and will go to sleep, so i'll see you guys all later
[00:54] <kaveh> anyone able to help me with this - im using alsa + ventrilo. havent got my mic working yet but thats not to worry - i can sit in channels and hear people but there are overtones that  didnt occur in windows and i havent found any comment of someting like this on the intarwebz+
[00:55] <tonsofpcs> anyone know of a way to set my computer to write out a hosts file when it resolves domains?
[00:56] <arrrghhh> anyone use mt-daap or firefly?
[00:56] <LjL> tonsofpcs: do you want to do that in order to speed up future domain resolution?
[00:56] <tonsofpcs> LjL: yes
[00:56] <tonsofpcs> LjL: but i also want to be able to take that hosts file to another machine
[00:56] <LjL> tonsofpcs: then - i don't know about what you asked specifically, but there are better ways to achieve that
[00:56] <LjL> !info dnsmasq | tonsofpcs, this is what i use
[00:57] <fantasyforever> I have a problem - I have a Comcast Router, and I can't connect to the internet, and it shows a webpage that Comcast Install Wizard is not compatible with my OS (Ubuntu)
[00:58] <LjL> !info pdnsd | tonsofpcs, look at this for the transfering-to-other-machine part
[00:58] <nado> fantasyforever, you might want to connect to your router by going to http://192.168.1.1
[00:58] <tonsofpcs> LjL: well, other machine is on a different network
[00:58] <LjL> tonsofpcs: i haven't used it, but from the APT description it looks like it could help you, since it claims its cache is saved permanently on HD
[00:58] <arrrghhh> fantasyforever, have you registered the modem with comcast?
[00:58] <nado> fantasyforever, in a web browser
[00:58] <LjL> tonsofpcs: yes but you could probably just grab its cache file
[00:58] <fantasyforever> yesi have registered the modem
[00:59] <tonsofpcs> i also want the cache to never expire
[00:59] <LjL> tonsofpcs: that should be configurable in pretty much any proxy
[00:59] <arrrghhh> fantasyforever, do you know what i mean by that?  like the router doesn't have internet until the modem is initially setup by comcast.  either by installing their stupid software or having them do it over the phone.
[00:59] <ndshacker> I have an issue Brasero recognises a DVD disk as empty and writable but says there is only 0 mb of space left, ive tied like 6 dvds
[00:59] <Cryptography> Question: 802.11N -- Is there any support for any 802.11N chip for putting it in Access Point Mode?
[00:59] <tonsofpcs> LjL: there has to be a way to have it write out the hosts file though, that's what the hosts file was made for
[01:00] <LjL> tonsofpcs: err, no, the hosts file was made for when DNS servers didn't exist at all, more like...
[01:00] <fantasyforever> yes, i am using it right now. It's been done over the phone
[01:00] <tonsofpcs> LjL: right
[01:00] <Cryptography> ndshacker: have you tried a different disk? Perhaps that one is just bad?
[01:00] <cordelia> how can I grep all comment lines and just have the lines with just text? All my comment lines begin with #
[01:00] <tonsofpcs> when you first went to a site in sprynet and similar browsers, it said it didn't know where and asked you where and wrote it to hosts
[01:00] <LjL> cordelia: grep -v "^#"
[01:00] <nado> fantasyforever, open firefox and go to http://192.168.1.1 .. is there anything you can configure there ?
[01:01] <ndshacker> cryptopgraphy: yes ive tried 6, or different types
[01:01] <ndshacker> *of
[01:01] <cordelia> thx LjL
[01:01] <kevin_zhong> People of Earth, I come in piece! :D
[01:01] <fantasyforever> do i check on Ubuntu, nado?
[01:01] <arrrghhh> fantasyforever, well if the router has internet, then you shouldn't be getting that config page.
[01:01] <Cryptography> fantasyforever: open firefox and go to http://192.168.100.1 does it return a page giving modem connection information?
[01:02] <arrrghhh> i love how everyone is guessing his gateway for him.
[01:02] <caspu> A pleasure to be here this night! good night to everyone
[01:02] <kevin_zhong> does anyone know where I can buy a laptop without an OS pre-installed?
[01:02] <Cryptography> i am not guessing the gateway, 192.168.100.1 is the default MOdeM address for comcast
[01:02] <nado> fantasyforever, i'll private message you
[01:02] <fantasyforever> ok.
[01:03] <arrrghhh> Cryptography, i have comcast, that's not my gateway.
[01:03] <ndshacker> Ive tried DVD-r DVD+R DVD-R/RW DVD+R/RW and none work, yet CD's work, so im convnced its not hardware
[01:03] <Cryptography> arrrghhh: did you try it?
[01:03] <kevin_zhong> anyone know where I can buy laptops without OS?
[01:03] <LjL> !ot | kevin_zhong
[01:03] <ndshacker> kevin: Dell
[01:04] <Cryptography> it wont be your router, and the modem is default configured as passthrough so you wont see it as your "default gateway" but it should be the modems personal address
[01:04] <arrrghhh> Cryptography, well my cable modem has a gateway that is NOT a class 2 ip.

[01:06] <ndshacker> well then i need support: No disks will burn as DVD's, but CDs all work, Ive tried six disks of 4 different types, all supported by my Burner
[01:06] <glitsj16> ndshacker: that leaves brasero i suppose ... did you check for open bugs / fixes yet on launchpad.net ? brasero 0.9.1 runs smoothly here on 8.10
[01:06] <locovicen> hello
[01:06] <ndshacker> um.. no
[01:06] <ndshacker> its a clean install
[01:07] <magcius> How does Ubuntu's apt add folders to the emacs load path?
[01:07] <magcius> Something like ropemacs package.
[01:07] <glitsj16> ndshacker: you could try the brasero version for Ibex from getdeb.net i suppose to see if that solves the issue
[01:07] <ndshacker> im not on ibex
[01:07] <ndshacker> Im on Hardy Heron
[01:08] <ndshacker> Since Ibex couldnt connect to my Wireless >.<
[01:08] <glitsj16> ndshacker: ow my bad, getdeb.net might have it, i'll check
[01:08] <arrrghhh> anyone use mt-daap or firefly?
[01:08] <ndshacker> are there any alternatives? If I cant get brasero to work?
[01:09] <raving> LjL, http://paste.ubuntu.com/141078/
[01:09] <arrrghhh> ndshacker, i use k3b, which is a native kde app.
[01:09] <DasEi> !k3b | ndshacker
[01:09] <ndshacker> uhhh doesnt that run bad under Gnome?
[01:10] <ndshacker> Since it has to load the KDE libraries
[01:10] <arrrghhh> not so much an issue anymore.
[01:10] <LjL> raving: you have security enabled (which is obviously a good thing) but you don't have updates enabled - which is a bad thing when you have security enabled. i'll give you a fixed list

[01:12] <shpook> Hello all. I have some aerial video captured from a Aiptek PenCam 1.3 SD. In the video properties, it lists the codec as "SP5X-like JPEG." The video plays great in Totem and VLC, but I can't open it in Cinelerra, Avidemux, or Kino. Is there a way to convert it to DV format or find the appropriate codec for one of these programs? I've done a fair share of searching, but haven't gotten anywhere.
[01:13] <tonsofpcs> shpook: convert it to MPEG2
[01:13] <raving> LjL, ahh, that did the trick. Thank you for your help.
[01:14] <kaveh> anyone able to help me with this - im using alsa + ventrilo. havent got my mic working yet but thats not to worry - i can sit in channels and hear people but there are overtones that  didnt occur in windows and i havent found any comment of someting like this on the intarwebz+
[01:14] <shpook> but isn't MPEG2 a compressed format?
[01:14] <shpook> I'd rather only compress the file once after editing...the quality isn't all that great as it is.
[01:15] <raving> shpook: yeah, although there are other formats that have lossless compression
[01:15] <arrrghhh> shpook, so is the video format you're using.  RAW video is rarely - if ever - used.  even BD's are "compressed"
[01:15] <shpook> I know, but if I convert it to another compressed format, won't that cause a loss in quality?
[01:16] <shpook> if not, I don't mind converting it to mpeg2 :D
[01:16] <Guest290342> shpook: Converting between lossy formats results in quality loss
[01:16] <arrrghhh> shpook, what he said
[01:17] <Roanoke> Hello all.
[01:17] <shpook> wouldn't be an issue if it was decent quality video to begin with. :D The problem is, Cinelerra, Avidemux, or Kino won't read the file
[01:17] <Guest290342> !hi | Roanoke
[01:17] <fbc-mx> How do you change the default Display Manager (gdm,kdm) I installed kubuntu-desktop to tryit out but all I get is a blank screen and a terminal when I log in.
[01:17] <thewrath> has nayone used gnupg?
[01:18] <arrrghhh> fbc-mx, when you're at the login screen pick "session" and select your preferred session.  it should ask if you want it to be the default.
[01:18] <fbc-mx> arrrghhh, it didn't what do I do?
[01:19] <shpook> so, I guess I should try converting it to mpeg2 to edit the video?
[01:19] <RedMushroom> hey everybody
[01:19] <raving> shpook: if you can get a lossless format or one that doesn't lose as much quality, that might be better
[01:19] <arrrghhh> fbc-mx, que?
[01:20] <RedMushroom> hey, uh, where's the off topic channel?
[01:20] <shpook> #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:20] <RedMushroom> thankyou.

[01:21] <raving> shpook: in particular, you might want to check out ffv1
[01:21] <syockit> fbc-mx: maybe you can sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm or kdm
[01:22] <shpook> raving: Thanks, will do. I think it's time for a higher quality aerial photography camera :D
[01:22] <fbc-mx> syockit, kewl, I'll try that.
[01:23] <arrrghhh> syockit, uhm that probably won't fix his issue... maybe if you but ubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop in there.
[01:23] <jenkem_pusher> i have a problem.. I need to get an ssh session on a friends machine (I can't have him port forward to his machine where he is). Is there a way I can listen on one of my remote servers and have him connect, and open a reverse shell?
[01:24] <syockit> arrrghhh: hmm, so I take it that the gdm/kdm selection appears on those two metapackages, is that correct?
[01:24] <arrrghhh> syockit, certainly.

[01:50] <Mean_Admin> NoobGuest: when post says stuff, it's pre-GRUB

[01:54] <LjL> nick: err... are you sure?
[01:54] <Mean_Admin> NoobGuest: manufacturer gives you some tools you can download
[01:54] <LjL> !info smartmontools | no need for them though
[01:54] <NoobGuest> Mean Admin: manufacturer provide linux tools?
[01:55] <nick> LjL: nope. i thought he was talking about upgrading ubuntu(dist-update)
[01:55] <Mean_Admin> NoobGuest: well, pre-OS tools
[01:55] <Guest290342> NoobGuest: You check the hard disk for faults. It's like memtest for hd, I guess.
[01:55] <Mean_Admin> NoobGuest: tools that boot before operating system
[01:55] <NoobGuest> Guest290342: k sounds good
[01:55] <NoobGuest> Guest290342: like ChkDsk -f for Windows
[01:56] <Mean_Admin> NoobGuest: except it's pre-OS boot
[01:56] <NoobGuest> Mean_admin: thanks I will look into that. No Disk drive though or Windows OS environment to initiate in.
[01:56] <Guest290342> NoobGuest: Not really. That just compares the journal to data... it's different
[01:56] <NoobGuest> Guest290342: learned something there thanks.
[01:56] <Mean_Admin> NoobGuest: it's on a live cd
[01:56] <NoobGuest> Mean_Admin: Good to know also, ty.
[01:57] <Mean_Admin> NoobGuest: so you're not executing it from inside an operatin system (like windows or ubuntu), it's before they even load
[01:57] <NoobGuest> Guest290342, Mean_Admin: I will look into that your suggestions and I am grateful for your time.
[01:57] <Mean_Admin> NoobGuest: once you do that (I doubt that's the problem though), you can move to other possible vectors of problems
[01:58] <Guest290342> NoobGuest: Yups...
[01:58] <Mean_Admin> NoobGuest: no prob, you won't really do it but you might remember it one day, when thing really go weird :P
[01:58] <psyber> Anyone tried to install something in WINE and get an error message about unsupported operating system?
[01:58] <Kingsy101> can someone tell me how to install apache on ubuntu?
[01:58] <Guest290342> psyber: No? Did you apt-get install wine?
[01:58] <NoobGuest> Mean_Admin: haha. I think i will try it because I am trying to fix this. I don't like problems I cant fix especially with electronics.
[01:59] <Kingsy101> apt-get install apache?
[01:59] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: sudo apt-get insall LAMP
[01:59] <diabu> 100gb partition is enough for / partition? i have 150gb for /home partition
[01:59] <Kingsy101> ah right cooll
[01:59] <jamey-uk> psyber: did you try #wine?
[01:59] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: sudo apt-get insall apache is good too
[01:59] <Kingsy101> Mean_Admin - thanks
[01:59] <psyber> Guest290342:  yes I have wine installed through synaptic
[01:59] <usser> diabu, waste if you ask me, 20gb should be plenty
[01:59] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: LAMP is whole 9 yards, apache, Mysql and so on
[01:59] <NoobGuest> Do X.org driver installations/updates require reboot before taking effect?
[02:00] <Guest290342> psyber: And you can't run it? Have you messed with the kernel or something like that?
[02:00] <psyber> jamey-uk: no, not yet.  Seems like that room is always empty.  Heading there now just in incase.
[02:00] <twolane> NoobGuest: linux doesn't need rebooting but rarely, restart X
[02:00] <Mean_Admin> log out
[02:00] <Mean_Admin> log in
[02:00] <NoobGuest> Twolane: ah
[02:00] <diabu> usser, ok ok :) thank you, probably i'll do a fresh install and try to set 50gb (just in case..) for /
[02:00] <phaer> diabu, you will never ever use 100gb for / unless you store your videos in /videos or something similar.
[02:01] <Kingsy101> Mean_Admin - I get this error - E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[02:01] <psyber> Guest290342: nope.  The installer starts, then I get an error from the installer that it failed b/c of an unsuported OS.  I am trying to install sketchup 7
[02:01] <Kingsy101> Mean_Admin - any ideas?
[02:01] <NoobGuest> Mean_Admin: logout will take me terminal only?
[02:01] <usser> diabu, 50gb will take you well into 22nd century
[02:01] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: it means you have opened another tool like apt-get
[02:01] <usser> diabu, :)
[02:01] <NoobGuest> Mean_
[02:01] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: like synaptic
[02:01] <Guest290342> Kingsy101: Or run as root. Either or.
[02:01] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: or you're having updates being done
[02:01] <Guest290342> psyber: Oh, an application in wine?
[02:01] <mib_syqmsd> What's a good grammar checker for Open Office?
[02:02] <phaer> is it "safe" to just kill gnome-session? would there be any leftover files or pipes or ...?
[02:02] <Kingsy101> Mean_Admin - I don't have any updates installing or any other installer
[02:02] <psyber> Guest290342: yes, an application in wine
[02:02] <Guest290342> psyber: Try #wine-hq
[02:02] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: like the little read arrow pointing downwards asking if you wanna upgrade, that's using same ressource as apt-get
[02:02] <Guest290342> phaer: No, use /etc/init./gdm stop
[02:02] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: and no synpectic either ?
[02:02] <Kingsy101> oh its just working again now
[02:02] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: hum ... cool? I guess :)
[02:03] <Kingsy101> but it says could not find package lamp
[02:03] <phaer> Guest290342: the problem is, gdm is not running ;) its a quite special situation with gnome-session in a chroot connecting to xephyr on the host.
[02:03] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: do you only need apache?
[02:03] <lantay77> Do any of you know what will happen if you type this in bash/shell? ':(){ :|:& };:'
[02:03] <Guest290342> phaer: well, I dunno then. go for it and let us know how it goes!
[02:03] <mib_syqmsd> Open Office is UGLY
[02:03] <vorian> lantay77: do not paste that please
[02:03] <Guest290342> !troll > mib_syqmsd
[02:03] <Kingsy101> yea I suppose, just a localhost with php compatibility
[02:03] <vorian> lantay77: google "forkbomb"
[02:03] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: you can type in      sudo apt-get install apa           and after those 3 letters, double-tap Tab on your keyboard, it will show you matches starting with apa
[02:03] <lantay77> why dont paste that?
[02:03] <dan___> is there any possible ways uninstall Linux from a dual boot system
[02:04] <psyber> Guest290342: :-( no one home.  Oh well
[02:04] <phaer> Guest290342: but, maybe i should try to get gdm running.
[02:04] <Guest290342> !paste | lantay77
[02:04] <lantay77> oh
[02:04] <Mean_Admin> mib_syqmsd: weren't you complaing in ##linux ?
[02:04] <Guest290342> psyber: Oh. There's another one on #wine on a different server (forget which one)
[02:04] <Kingsy101> Mean_Admin - hmm sudo apt-get install apache doesnt work either
[02:05] <psyber> Guest290342: ah ha it is winehq without the -
[02:05] <acfrazier> Can anyone help me? My sound stopped working after upgrading to the Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty beta
[02:05] <Guest290342> psyber: Ahh, sorry. ;)
[02:05] <schnootop> anyone know how to set up a virtual ip across a network
[02:05] <Kingsy101> Mean_Admin - E: Package apache has no installation candidate
[02:05] <schnootop> what i pretty much have is a lamp setup
[02:05] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: do the touble-Tab thing
[02:05] <acfrazier> I tried to remove OSS to go back to ALSA, but it didn't work and I've hit a brick wall
[02:05] <schnootop>  i want people who go to a certain URL go to a certain virtualname on my computers webhost
[02:06] <acfrazier> !sound
[02:06] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: like type       sudo apt-get install apa       and right there, after that 2nd a quickly double-tap your TAB
[02:06] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: ow
[02:06] <Kingsy101> ah right I see, its apache 3 I need
[02:06] <Kingsy101> apache2*
[02:06] <lolitas> md
[02:07] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: and don't forget to       sudo apt-get update
[02:07] <Kingsy101> Mean_Admin - ok thats installed
[02:07] <mib_syqmsd> OpenOffice is UGLY
[02:08] <Kingsy101> .Mean_Admin - so now if I go to localhost apache will be running?
[02:08] <Guest290342> !troll
[02:08] <Mean_Admin> mib_syqmsd: weren't you complaining in ##linux about such and this ?
[02:08] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: yeah! it should
[02:08] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: should say It Works Duuuuuuuuuuuude
[02:08] <Kingsy101> Mean_Admin - NICE it doesn
[02:08] <Kingsy101> does* :)
[02:09] <Guest71806> Has anyone ever had a problem installing xubuntu where it freezes a second or two after loading the GUI? even in safe graphics mode?
[02:09] <Mean_Admin> no sorry
[02:10] <Mean_Admin> Kingsy101: good stuff :)  when using apt-get, double Tab is your friend
[02:10] <Mean_Admin> when double tab sounds so much like double tap :D
[02:10] <Mean_Admin> headshotx2
[02:11] <Guest71806> is there a way to install ubuntu without a GUI?
[02:11] <Mean_Admin> Guest71806: server edition
[02:11] <Guest290342> Guest71806: Alternate install cd or minimal install cd
[02:12] <Guest290342> Guest71806: You choose command-line install for alternate. Minimal is always command-line unless you select extra.
[02:12] <Mean_Admin> or just server edition ?
[02:12] <Guest290342> Mean_Admin: Server has different repository & kernel.
[02:12] <Guest71806> ok. i was thinking i could isntall via command line and then update from there, bypass my awful graphics card
[02:12] <iceroot> Mean_Admin: why using server-edition for a desktop-system?
[02:13] <phaer> is it possible to just display processes in a chroot?
[02:13] <Guest290342> Guest71806: Yeah, you can do that.
[02:13] <Guest290342> phaer: ps aux?
[02:13] <Guest290342> phaer: lsof?
[02:14] <phaer> Guest290342: ps aux shows me the processes of the host too, and what would lsof help in this case?
[02:14] <Mean_Admin> iceroot: if you're not wanting any gui..
[02:14] <Guest290342> phaer: Dunno. lsof / for the chroot environment? I suppose you need lsof & that's a pretty convulted "solution" but I'm trying to be creative. :)
[02:14] <iceroot> Mean_Admin: then you use alternate-cd but not the server-edition for a desktop-system
[02:15] <Guest290342> iceroot: Or minimal (netinstall) disk
[02:15] <phaer> Guest290342: thanks, but i am not really satisfied with that.
[02:15] <Guest290342> phaer: Fair enough. Can you run top from the chroot environment?
[02:15] <Guest290342> phaer: Or same story?
[02:15] <Mean_Admin> iceroot: so then what's up with server edition ? why was it made ?
[02:15] <Guest290342> Mean_Admin: For servers..?
[02:15] <iceroot> Mean_Admin: for servers
[02:15] <phaer> Guest290342: in either case, it has gotten late in my timezone, so i will take care about it tomorrow or in a few days
[02:16] <phaer> Guest290342: same story as ps aux
[02:16] <Guest290342> phaer: Have fun. ;)
[02:16] <iceroot> Mean_Admin: different kernel, different repos, LTS
[02:16] <Mean_Admin> Guest290342:, iceroot  was under the impression server edition was ubuntu - X
[02:16] <boshhead> It seems like my volume on my headphones is not as loud as it used to be. I don't have a physical control for it on my computer. The Volume Control Panel says that Master and PCM are at max volume.... Not sure what it could be, maybe I'm just nuts :) But I used to keep "master" at about half volume and that was fine, now it seems like I need it at full volume for a lot of stuff.
[02:16] <miniproject> Hello
[02:17] <iceroot> Mean_Admin: no its a different system
[02:17] <Guest290342> Mean_Admin: Carry on! :)
[02:17] <miniproject> hello
[02:17] <boscop> miniproject, Hi
[02:17] <Mean_Admin> iceroot: well, then.. I'm shocked and shamed
[02:17] <iceroot> Mean_Admin: no problem
[02:18] <miniproject> Hello
[02:18] <Mean_Admin> hello miniproject
[02:18] <Guest290342> !hi | miniproject
[02:18] <miniproject> is my first time
[02:18] <miniproject> here
[02:18] <Mean_Admin> !mighty greetings | miniproject
[02:18] <miniproject> anyone?
[02:18] <miniproject> anyone
[02:18] <miniproject> ?
[02:18] <Guest290342> !question | miniproject
[02:18] <Mean_Admin> HI miniproject ?
[02:19] <miniproject> ok excume is that this is my first time using this
[02:19] <boscop> miniproject, do you have a question or just want to say hello?
[02:19] <miniproject> i cant write
[02:19] <boscop> why?
[02:19] <miniproject> in a directory
[02:20] <boscop> use chmod
[02:20] <miniproject> a can't white on a dierctory here
[02:20] <RedMushroom> can anyone help me with some install issues?
[02:20] <miniproject> i used it
[02:20] <Guest290342> miniproject: chmod u+w
[02:20] <miniproject> i was using chmod -rw
[02:21] <Guest290342> miniproject: Although you may not own it, in which case chown <username>:<group>
[02:21] <miniproject> ok letme try
[02:21] <miniproject> thanks
[02:21] <RedMushroom> :(
[02:21] <Mean_Admin> !ask | RedMushroom
[02:21] <miniproject> i do it and then i get the next message chmod u+w
[02:21] <miniproject> operation not permitted
[02:22] <Guest290342> miniproject: Where is the directory?
[02:22] <boscop> miniproject, or "chmod -R u+w dir" to permit the whole tree
[02:22] <Mean_Admin> miniproject: you must put               sudo       before command
[02:22] <miniproject> ok
[02:22] <Guest290342> Mean_Admin: If he doesn't own the folder, that's irrelevant
[02:22] <Mean_Admin> Guest290342: if he's a sudoer
[02:22] <Mean_Admin> ?
[02:23] <ericwright17> hello, new to ubuntu, but i'm running it in VMWare, and I'm trying to use the CompizConfig Settings Manager and I cannot set up multiple desktops any ideas why?
[02:23] <Guest290342> Mean_Admin: He's trying to write to the folder as an unprivileged user.. chmod u+w doesn't do much. :P
[02:23] <miniproject> ok thanks
[02:23] <Guest290342> !compiz | ericwright17
[02:23] <Mean_Admin> Guest290342: hum right :)
[02:23] <RedMushroom> ok, well, i'm trying to install onto a really old box, and i can't get it to boot of the cd-rom. it bios menus say it allows it, but it's just not doing it. when i go into win98 on the box and double click on the cd rom icon it says device not ready, like there's nothing in there. i don't know what's going on w/ it. when i disable the h/d from booting, and leave it with only the cd-rom it says "operating system not found"
[02:23] <Mean_Admin> Guest290342: I was only seeing the lack of sudo before his command :P
[02:24] <Dreamglider> RedMushroom: check the CD for defects
[02:24] <Guest290342> Mean_Admin: Course if its outside his home, he shouldn't give himself ownership. soo.. depends
[02:24] <RedMushroom> it's good. works on my other computer. but the other one is newer
[02:25] <Dreamglider> RedMushroom: then your cd drive is busted
[02:25] <atomic> I'm having trouble installing adobe air. It just won't install. I chmod 755 like some tutorials suggest but when I sudo ./Adobe... it returns but nothing happens.
[02:25] <RedMushroom> oh. you know this for a fact?
[02:25] <boscop> in my timezone it's 3:24 am. so gn8, now
[02:25] <Guest290342> atomic: chmod a+x
[02:25] <Mean_Admin> RedMushroom: maybe reburn it at slower speed ?
[02:25] <frog_>  find . -not -iname ".svn" -path '*/Factsheet/*' -type f -exec perl -i.bak -pe "s/www.quartalflife.com/www.investisflife.com/" {} \; <- shouldn't this ommit .svn?
[02:25] <RedMushroom> Mean_Admin: already tried that
[02:25] <atomic> Guest290342: I'll try it
[02:26] <Mean_Admin> RedMushroom: anything else booting ? cd-rom unbroken ?
[02:26] <Dreamglider> RedMushroom: it it works in the new PC and not in the old then yes i guess i do, did you try to boot it in your new pc and check the CD ?
[02:26] <Guest290342> atomic: if that fails, try bash Adobe...
[02:26] <RedMushroom> yeah, cd booted newer pc no problem
[02:26] <anima> ok I need some webcam help
[02:26] <Dreamglider> RedMushroom: did you run the cd check on the cd ?
[02:27] <RedMushroom> i have no clue how to
[02:27] <anima> i like ubuntu but it ain't plug n play.  LOL
[02:27] <Mean_Admin> RedMushroom: ok but on old pc, other cds boot  ? it's not some pata conflict or someting ?
[02:27] <bradcovey> hey guys
[02:27] <bradcovey> mind if i ask a question?
[02:27] <Mean_Admin> wow, that's a big and intimidating lol
[02:27] <RedMushroom> nope, cd works fine in the other pc, doesn't work at all in the older one
[02:27] <Dreamglider> RedMushroom: Boot from the CD there is a "cd check" option, give it a run
[02:27] <Guest290342> RedMushroom: How much ram?
[02:27] <Mean_Admin> bradcovey: ask away
[02:27] <atomic> Guest290342:  cannot execute binary file
[02:27] <atomic> When I try that with bash
[02:28] <atomic> and sudo bash
[02:28] <LostCause07> Are the wine repo's down?
[02:28] <Guest290342> atomic: Sure your file is 100% correct?
[02:28] <RedMushroom> Guest290342: not a lot. i think about half a gig. just barely meets the system requirements
[02:28] <Guest290342> atomic: Try downloading again
[02:28] <bradcovey> thanks, I have a 3d related question. I have an intel graphics accelerator and i am getting crashes or improper menus from games such as wolfenstein and savage 2
[02:28] <Mean_Admin> RedMushroom: ok by cd rom, I mean optical drive, the thing in which you put your ubuntu disk,
[02:28] <RedMushroom> Mean_Admin: yeah
[02:28] <RedMushroom> Mean_Admin: go on
[02:28] <ericwright17> thanks, ubottu, but i think i didn't ask my question clearly enough, does CompizFusion work under VMWare, specifically the Expo plugin??? (I know that certain screensavers don't work.)
[02:28] <Mean_Admin> RedMushroom: it's okay you say ?
[02:29] <Guest290342> !bot
[02:29] <atomic> Guest290342: Okay, I was going to try that but I'm on a slow internet service so 13mb is like reading war and peace.. :)
[02:29] <Mean_Admin> RedMushroom: I've had some brake on me and I've chased the culprit a lot of time before realizing that was the culprit
[02:29] <Guest290342> atomic: AWw, sorry. :\
[02:29] <RedMushroom> Mean_Admin: don't know. need to find another disk to test with it. when in win98 if i do "eject cd" it'll open the tray, so assuming it's good
[02:29] <bradcovey> i believe it is something to do with the opengl version
[02:29] <bradcovey> im not entirely sure tho
[02:29] <LostCause07> I don't think CompizFusion works very well under VMware.
[02:29] <Mean_Admin> RedMushroom: ok just saying, my cd-rw randomly stopped reading any CDs at some point..
[02:30] <ericwright17> okay, are there any alternatives to CompizFusion?
[02:30] <RedMushroom> no, not that i know of.
[02:30] <Guest290342> ericwright17: Metisse!
[02:30] <Dreamglider> RedMushroom: do you get any CD's to work in the old pc ?
[02:30] <bradcovey> btw here is the related glxinfo: OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc
[02:30] <bradcovey> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 865G 20061102 x86/MMX/SSE2
[02:30] <bradcovey> OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 7.2
[02:30] <Guest290342> !paste | bradcovey
[02:30] <RedMushroom> Dreamglider: not yet, need to find one to test, but i have no reason to believe the drive is bad yet
[02:30] <RedMushroom> basically, it's untested either way
[02:30] <bradcovey> oh, i appologize
[02:30] <Dreamglider> RedMushroom: try ANY cd
[02:30] <Guest290342> RedMushroom: As ali said, try putting it in another computer & installing
[02:30] <RedMushroom> Dreamglider: yeah
[02:31] <RedMushroom> if any other cd works, then the drive's good. if not, bad drive
[02:31] <RedMushroom> if drive's good then i'm still at square one
[02:31] <Dreamglider> RedMushroom: yup
[02:31] <shpook> Okay, so in my mission to try and convert this AVI file, that won't open in any video editor, I haven't been able to find a converter that will convert it. The codec is listed as "sp5x-like jpeg," which is listed in "gst-inspect-0.10 ffmpeg." Now, this file plays fine in VLC and Totem, but not in MPlayer. VLC can't find the encoder to convert it, and neither can ffmpeg. Any ideas? I just want to convert it to a format that I can edit, w
[02:32] <anima> if anyone can help me with my cam, and installing the drivers (which I have) please msg me
[02:32] <RedMushroom> *sigh* well, i actually hope it's bad. if so, i have another i can swap it with. if not, i dunno
[02:32] <aqlx86> help please... i upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 but application menus are missing
[02:32] <bradcovey> mean_admin: here is the information from glxinfo http://paste.ubuntu.com/141104/
[02:32] <Guest290342> aqlx86: run alacarte & configure
[02:33] <Mean_Admin> bradcovey: not sure I can help you but! can you state your phrase in one big sentence :) ?
[02:33] <Dreamglider> aqlx86: left klick > Add to panel
[02:33] <_Rha7_> Hi every1, I want to patch and recompile Ubuntu kernel driver drivers/media/video/saa7134, if I run the make command, it compiles with no errors, but on;y generates *.o files, no *.ko, can I just rename saa7134.o to saa7134.ko and place it at its place at /lib/modules ?
[02:34] <Guest290342> Dreamglider: klick is for kde. gnome uses click. ;)
[02:34] <aqlx86> Dreamglider, not the ubuntu menu
[02:34] <Guest290342> aqlx86: Custom menu
[02:34] <Guest290342> !kernel | _Rha7_
[02:34] <aqlx86> menus in applications like pidgin
[02:34] <Dreamglider> Guest290342:  heh sry dude
[02:34] <aqlx86> menus of application are missing
[02:35] <Guest290342> _Rha7_: Driver, sorry. Yes, place in /lib/modules but you may need to set them to load on your own
[02:35] <aqlx86> menus in nautilus are missing also
[02:35] <bradcovey> mean_Admin: absolutely, savage 2(opengl based) and enemy territory(also opengl based) do not function properly and there seems to be some issues with black screens or the games not running at all. I believe it is opengl related but im not entirely sure
[02:35] <Guest290342> aqlx86: alt+f2 & run alacarte
[02:35] <_Rha7_> Guest290342, Thanks a lot ;)
[02:36] <Guest290342> bradcovey: glxinfo | grep Direct
[02:36] <Guest290342> bradcovey: Paste output
[02:36] <aqlx86> Guest290342, not that
[02:36] <Guest290342> aqlx86: Oh, like the drop-down menus @ the top?
[02:37] <bradcovey> guest290342: glxinfo:http://paste.ubuntu.com/141104/
[02:37] <Guest290342> aqlx86: Try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[02:37] <bradcovey> guest290342: grep direct doesn't seem to do anything much
[02:37] <_Rha7_> Guest290342, just one more question, If a kernel upgrade comes, I have to repatch+recompile+rename+put_in_/lib/modules in the new kernel??
[02:38] <Guest290342> _Rha7_: I believe so. You compile for a certain set of kernel & headers.
[02:38] <_Rha7_> Thanks again :)
[02:38] <Mean_Admin> bradcovey: so you typed in      glxinfo | grep Direct        in command line and no output ?
[02:38] <Kingsy101> ok I have just written a simple php script and I want to try and run it through my localhost.. how is this done? I have tried putting it in the www folder and entering the URL http://localhost/new.php but it asks if I want to open or save the file, it doesnt run it through the browser any ideas?
[02:38] <bradcovey> sec i will retry, maybe a typo
[02:38] <Guest290342> bradcovey: You're using the mesa driver
[02:39] <bradcovey> that is correct
[02:39] <Guest290342> bradcovey: No 3d render w/ it
[02:39] <Guest290342> !mesa
[02:39] <bradcovey> that would explain several things :P
[02:39] <Guest290342> bradcovey: Yeah. :\ Sorry.
[02:39] <sexcopter> hi there. I discovered some .chk files (which I *think* may have originated from XP doing an ntfs error check) on an ntfs volume. Does anyone know what can be done with them? Some kind of analyzer or recovery tool?
[02:39] <bradcovey> Guest290342: is there an alternative driver?
[02:39] <RedMushroom> well crud. i just tested my cd-rom drive w/ a music cd and it works.
[02:39] <RedMushroom> never been so bummed to learn something's not broken
[02:39] <Guest290342> bradcovey: What's your card?
[02:40] <RedMushroom> |>_<
[02:40] <Mean_Admin> RedMushroom: damn indeed
[02:40] <bradcovey> Guest290342:its an integrated intel, im not exactly sure of the model under windows it used an intel extreme 2 driver
[02:40] <Guest290342> bradcovey: lspci | grep Graphic
[02:40] <RedMushroom> now i got to figure out why the stupid thing wont boot
[02:40] <RedMushroom> it has to be something with the bios i'm guessing
[02:41] <cristian> alguien me ayuda a configurar mi sonido?
[02:41] <bradcovey> Guest290342: command not found?
[02:41] <Kingsy101> can someone help me?
[02:41] <Guest290342> lspci not found? what?
[02:41] <Dreamglider> !ask
[02:41] <bradcovey> nvm
[02:41] <Guest290342> bradcovey: That's coreutils. How could it not be found? :S
[02:41] <bradcovey> lol typo
[02:41] <RedMushroom> anyone know of a bootstrap program that'll fit on a floppy and allow me to boot from the cd-rom?
[02:42] <RedMushroom> like, just something that directs it to the cd-rom when it tries to boot from a floppy
[02:42] <Nasra> any1 know to set logitech webcam to work with Ubuntu?
[02:42] <bradcovey> guest290342: http://paste.ubuntu.com/141108/
[02:43] <Guest290342> bradcovey: Desktop pc?
[02:43] <bradcovey> Guest290342: yes
[02:43] <Mean_Admin> RedMushroom: you could be brave and boot off USB key although.. I  don't know.. can the old box handle usb boot ?
[02:44] <Guest290342> It's probably a restricted driver. Have you tried using the restricted drivers module in system->admin?
[02:44] <RedMushroom> tied it, doesnt work
[02:44] <bradcovey> Guest290342: yes, nothing available
[02:44] <opera> who can tell me how to use ekiga
[02:44] <Guest290342> bradcovey: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?ProductID=1044&DwnldID=13815&lang=eng
[02:45] <trimalap> Hola!
[02:45] <Guest290342> !hi | trimalap
[02:45] <bradcovey> Guest290342: restricted drivers is under administration correct?
[02:46] <bradcovey> can't seem to find it today : /
[02:46] <Guest290342> bradcovey: I believe so.
[02:46] <Mean_Admin> RedMushroom: this is scary... can't you just use the cdrom off the good computer, just for the install ?!
[02:47] <bradcovey> Guest290342: I honestly cannot find the restricted drivers
[02:48] <bradcovey> Guest290342: i remember it being there in previous versions, was it taken out in 8.10?
[02:48] <Guest290342> bradcovey: Highly doubt it
[02:48] <Guest290342> I don't know what the package is called, but make sure its installed
[02:49] <bradcovey> Guest290342: k found it, they changed the name :P
[02:49] <bradcovey> Guest290342: thank you for the help btw, i can probably take it from here
[02:49] <Guest290342> bradcovey: Go for it.
[02:52] <nick> whats up people

[02:53] <ryanbeer> not much man. I have a situation on my hands.  I installed Ubuntu about 3 weeks ago.  I am running Gnome and it is running Compiz.  I started kde from terminal, restarted and now when the login screen comes up my keyboard, mouse, and all usb devices lock up.
[02:53] <Voltaire> ryanbeer: Oi, you started two wms at the same time?
[02:54] <ryanbeer> Yes, I did start two window systems at the same time.
[02:54] <Voltaire> ryanbeer: They'll fight over crucial files like xauthority & so on. No wonder it locked up. :\
[02:54] <Voltaire> ryanbeer: Always kill off one wm before running the other.

[03:01] <aubreyja> Hi All - I have ubuntu 8.10 on a Toshiba R15-S829 (Tablet). I installed fxfnd to get the Fn key-combos to work. However, it doesn't seem to work - e.g. Fn-F5 doesn't switch display modes (as it should).  Is fxfnd the right program to use? And, I thought tosiba acpi support comes by default in the kernel, but maybe not? How can I check this?
[03:01] <tyoc> is there a way that gnome-terminal display the last commands typed in a menu list??
[03:01] <trimalap> BilokShem: what is the problem with your computer machine, please provide more details
[03:01] <tyoc> I remember that behaviour

[03:03] <Edgar> I have a little problem with the add/remove application tool
[03:03] <trimalap> BilokShem: make sure you have not muted the Microphone

[03:04] <Ropechoborra> BilokShem, I did the same and i ended reinstalling 8.04 :p
[03:04] <BilokShem> This no good.
[03:05] <RedMushroom> does anyone know how i can use XP to image the /install/sbm.bin file to a floppy disk so i can use it as a boot disk for an installer?
[03:05] <trimalap> BilokShem: try the steps here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=488431
[03:05] <RedMushroom> to do something called a rawwrite?
[03:06] <bradcovey> ok, I whent back through and attempted to update my intel 82865G integrated video card driver and it turns out that mesa is 3d? and other than mesa there don't appear to be any drivers available
[03:06] <syockit> RedMushroom: umm, I remember it wasn't called syslinux. I can't seem to remember the boot disk maker....
[03:07] <Edgar> my problem is that when I run the gnome-app-install, it doesn't show me anyprogram
[03:07] <ndshacker> Hello all, I am trying to learn C++, I have two tutorials and all the neccesary itesm installed on my Ubuntu 8.04 box, but when I G++ my *.cpp file i get a.out, which I have no clue what that is
[03:07] <BilokShem> I using Eee PC
[03:07] <BilokShem> with ubuntu
[03:07] <mbana> hi, how do i hide the day of ht week in the panel?  i'd prefer just the date
[03:07] <RedMushroom> syockit: i'm a noob here, show me some kindness
[03:08] <ndshacker> any help as to how to make a real executable would be appreciated
[03:08] <syockit> RedMushroom: actually I'd like to help, but I've kinda lost the knowledge of those boot thingies
[03:09] <popcornPanic> is there a reason why the ubuntu repository does not have the lastest version of java?
[03:09] <BilokShem> bye
[03:10] <trimalap> BilokShem: it doesn't matter. If it worked once it should work again. I am sure something got messed during the upgrade
[03:10] <Mean_Admin> ooow ArsTechnica says no-go on ext4 yet
[03:10] <RedMushroom> i just wish i could d/l a file, put it on a disk, and have at it
[03:10] <syockit> RedMushroom: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=50344 for starters.... hope it has a clue
[03:10] <RedMushroom> basically, i need a program for xp, that i can d/l, which will create a  linux boot floppy, and i don't know what to do!!!
[03:11] <Knocks> hi
[03:11] <Knocks> how do i resize a partition from ubuntu
[03:11] <orl> hmm can Unetbootin do what you need?
[03:11] <ndshacker> !a.out
[03:11] <flashjunk> generally i use gparted
[03:11] <Knocks> flashjunk how do i launch it?
[03:11] <ndshacker> Knocks: sudo apt-get install gparted
[03:11] <pyjama> knocks - you could but from a Live CD and use the partition editor whilst the drive is unmounted
[03:11] <ndshacker> then itll be in your menu
[03:11] <flashjunk> make sure it is installed, then run it from sudo
[03:12] <Knocks> so which is better
[03:12] <pyjama> i use the cd
[03:12] <Knocks> it's an NTFS partition
[03:12] <Knocks> will it be safe?
[03:12] <flashjunk> for an NTFS you can do it from your install
[03:12] <flashjunk> otherwise use the CD
[03:12] <syockit> RedMushroom: since you mentioned rawwrite, probably you already know what sbm is? ah, you said sbm.bin
[03:12] <pyjama> knocks - i use the CD as I don't want a problem unmounting and remounting, plus it's my system disk
[03:12] <Guest24539> Knocks: Yes, as long as your immediately re-mount in Windows
[03:12] <ndshacker> gparted live cd
[03:12] <arodd> Wondering if anyone has actually got amarok2 to play music in 9.04b
[03:12] <Knocks> it's not a system disk
[03:12] <flashjunk> when you remount in windows it will run some checks, but it will be ok
[03:12] <Knocks> it's an external USB hard drive
[03:13] <flashjunk> just freaks windows out at first
[03:13] <pyjama> knocks, then gpart sounds better
[03:13] <Knocks> i just need to steal 10GB from it for a wii partition
[03:13] <ndshacker> Hello all, I am trying to learn C++, I have two tutorials and all the neccesary itesm installed on my Ubuntu 8.04 box, but when I G++ my *.cpp file i get a.out, which I have no clue what that is
[03:13] <Guest24539> !ubuntu | ndshacker
[03:13] <syockit> RedMushroom: http://www.chrysocome.net/rawwrite is probably the tool you need
[03:13] <Guest24539> ndshacker: Uhh.. wrong channel?
[03:13] <ndshacker> that helps how?
[03:13] <flashjunk> you get a.out if you don't tell it a particular filename to output to
[03:13] <ndshacker> uhhh no?
[03:14] <ndshacker> flashjunk: but what do I output it as?
[03:14] <tritium> !offtopic | ndshacker
[03:14] <Guest24539> ndshacker: This is specifically for ubuntu help -- try a channel centered around c++?
[03:14] <Knocks> ok, it's installing gparted now
[03:14] <pyjama> knocks, you may need to unmount the drive from Windows first
[03:15] <Guest24539> Knocks: Or -o force
[03:15] <pyjama> knocks, it gives you an option to force a mount but I wasn't confident enough
[03:15] <Knocks> it won't let me resize
[03:15] <Knocks> should i unmount first?
[03:16] <Guest24539> Knocks: Yes!!!
[03:16] <Guest24539> Knocks: Never change partitions while they're mounted
[03:16] <Guest24539> Knocks: Never modify** partitions while they're mounted
[03:16] <Knocks> still can't do it
[03:17] <pyjama> knocks, you'll need to unmount it from windows, or force a mount
[03:17] <Knocks> it's grayed out
[03:17] <syockit> RedMushroom: it seems the page I gave you just now didn't offer any downloads. look for rawrite2 instead
[03:17] <Guest24539> Knocks: Refresh gparted
[03:17] <Knocks> i did
[03:17] <pyjama> knocks, you need to disconnect the drive from windows using the remove icon in the bottom right
[03:17] <pyjama> then try the usb
[03:17] <Knocks> ok pyjama i will try that
[03:17] <pyjama> or you could force a mount
[03:17] <Knocks> need to reboot then
[03:17] <Knocks> brb
[03:18] <aqlx86> hi, my nautilus menu is missing and so as the other applications.. any idea how can i restore the menu..
[03:19] <popcornPanic> does anyone know of an extra repository for java?
[03:19] <Guest24539> popcornPanic: Why do you need it?
[03:19] <keith> Does anyone know where I can find the Ext4 specification?
[03:20] <popcornPanic> Guest24539, i develop in java and my Arch linux install is later then my ubuntu one
[03:20] <Guest24539> popcornPanic: The latest available is in the repositories. Else you'll have to compile your own. :\
[03:20] <aqlx86> hi, my nautilus menu is missing and so as the other applications.. any idea how can i restore the menu..?
[03:20] <Kirill_> What does "not a multiple of 4k" error mean
[03:20] <Kirill_> After executing command mkfs.hfsplus in gparted
[03:21] <TuxAttack> welcome room
[03:21] <Taijiquan> every time my screensaver starts my key layout reverts back to qwerty
[03:21] <Guest24539> Kirill_: Your block size is messed up?
[03:22] <popcornPanic> Guest24539, yes i was just wondering. i would rather just be able to do apt-get to install and update for later
[03:22] <Guest24539> popcornPanic: Yeah, I understand.
[03:22] <bonez46> popcornPanic: why not do it all at once, and be done?
[03:22] <Kirill_> That's what I thought so I tried 4000*238 = 952000 for block size
[03:23] <Kirill_> Still nothing Guest24539
[03:23] <Knocks> ok
[03:23] <Knocks> i can't unmount it from windows either
[03:23] <Knocks> it says device is in use
[03:23] <Kirill_> Woah Google just looked at my query and said it looks like something that a virus on many computers is writing right now and they needed me to do one of those graphical letter identification logins
[03:23] <Guest24539> Kirill_: Strange. Idk.
[03:24] <Guest24539> Kirill_: Haha, fun..
[03:24] <usser> good stuff

[03:28] <gonewestcoast> coppro: This one works, depending on what's going on.
[03:28] <gonewestcoast> coppro: What's the problem?
[03:28] <trimalap> coppro: I was going to ask the same
[03:28] <coppro> Actually, it doesn't seem so bad right now

[03:29] <coppro> I'm using some manner of Mobility Radeon - hang on I'll get the exact one
[03:29] <coppro> using the OSS driver
[03:29] <gonewestcoast> coppro: dmesg to a pastebin

[03:29] <selocol> how come whenever firefox asks to restart, it never restarts. it just closes and never restarts..?

[03:31] <coppro> lspci -vv: http://pastebin.com/m31df402
[03:33] <coppro> It also occasionally just freezes on its own, but that seems to be some bug in X causing an OOM or something, based on the symptoms

[03:43] <fearful> ultratek, your welcome
[03:43] <staykov> nevermind had to run the installer for 8.10
[03:44] <staykov> thanks kitche
[03:47] <matt___> I am just wondering if perhaps a recent update has caused some sort of hard disk failure. Because my data drive stopped working, after a reboot, the drive isn't even detected. Not in /dev/, and gparted doesn't see it.
[03:47] <rcy> My desktop is too big for the display. U 8.10 with NVIDIA 8400 using the most recent proprietary driver.
[03:48] <coppro> matt_: Try booting to an older kernel. If that doesn't work, it's possibly you suffered a physical disk failure
[03:48] <PhotoJim> matt___: an update wouldn't cause a failure.  it is possible the drive happened to fail then.  but it would be coincidental.  either that, or something else is your problem.
[03:48] <matt___> coppro: PhotoJim my fear exactly, hard disk failure.
[03:49] <DasEi> !jaunty | arodd
[03:49] <PhotoJim> matt___: worth checking your cabling.  cables do sometimes wiggle loose.
[03:49] <DasEi> arodd: my amarok did well
[03:49] <matt___> PhotoJim: will try.
[03:49] <PhotoJim> matt___: good luck.
[03:49] <matt___> PhotoJim: why thank you.
[03:51] <Jenna48> I am new to ubuntu .. I copied my favs from IE to a CD .. now I need to know how to import to firefox .. can anyone please help me?
[03:51] <aladin403> wow ubuntu  9.04
[03:51] <PhotoJim> Jenna48: I don't know that way, but I know an indirect way that has some advantages.
[03:51] <itai_michaelson> hi, i want to install a everore office for linux, the programme comes as a tar.gz inside theres a setup.sh file, how can this programme be uninstalled if needed?
[03:51] <trevor> hey all
[03:51] <Jenna48> any help would be appreciated
[03:52] <aladin403> ubuntu  9.04 is the perfection
[03:52] <itai_michaelson> Jenna48, what you copied is an html file?
[03:52] <Jenna48> URL
[03:52] <aladin403> it is a  version beta is very good
[03:52] <PhotoJim> Jenna48: install Firefox on your Windows machine.  It'll offer to import your IE bookmarks.  Let it.  Then install the plugin Foxmarks.  It'll let you upload your bookmarks to a central server and you can use them on any Firefox installation on any machine or OS that you use that you also add Foxmarks to.
[03:52] <asdf_lafleche> hi
[03:52] <PhotoJim> Jenna48: it's a great thing if you use more than one OS, or more than one machine.  Your bookmarks will always be synchronized on all of them.
[03:53] <itai_michaelson> Jenna48, what PhotoJim said...
[03:53] <Jenna48> unfortunately I no longer have my windows partition
[03:53] <DasEi> Jenna48 : ff> bookmarks> managae bm's > import
[03:53] <jonathanrwallace> i just had a power spike and no can no longer ssh into my ubuntu box remotely
[03:53] <Jenna48> The import function won't recognize the file
[03:53] <jonathanrwallace> however locally sshing works fine
[03:53] <coppro> Ah, this is why I hate this channel
[03:53] <jonathanrwallace> any suggestions?
[03:53] <wanna_learn_more> ow?

[03:54] <wanna_learn_more> do u kow how to remove ubuntu-desktop package?
[03:54] <coppro> You could at least say "no clue"
[03:54] <jonathanrwallace> coppro: what's the question?
[03:54] <kitche> coppro: for many applications to use your sound they must not be OSS apps
[03:54] <wanna_learn_more> well when i tried to installed it..it takes 2 giga off my hardisk
[03:55] <_Brun0_> hi. I'm using ubuntu 8.10 with xampp installed yesterday in /opt/lampp/. I cannot get mysql to start. Any hints?
[03:55] <kitche> coppro: pulseaudio and alsa support dual channel very well
[03:55] <coppro> [20:28:05]	<coppro>	My computer frequently freezes when using intensive OpenGL applications
[03:55] <wanna_learn_more> but when i tried to apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop only xxxmb freed

[03:55] <coppro> [20:30:19]	<coppro>	lspci -vv: http://pastebin.com/m31df402
[03:55] <kitche> coppro: sounds like the freezing is due to your video card
[03:55] <itai_michaelson> Jenna48, are u trying to import IE bookmarks or firefox?
[03:55] <coppro> And fglrx offers no OpenGL period.
[03:56] <nado> wanna_learn_more, did you to an apt-get autoremove ?
[03:56] <nado> do*
[03:56] <PhotoJim> coppro: that's not something I can help you with.  But do post it occasionally if you don't get an answer.
[03:56] <asdf_lafleche> hey, does anyone have some info on using dual monitors in ubuntu?  It works fine except when I maximize windows they span across both screens.  Is this a simple fix?
[03:56] <darkduelist> xopa
[03:56] <kitche> coppro: fglrx does offer opengl if installed correctly it's a known issue with fglrx on how bad it is to install acutally have you checked out the ati docs? by chance
[03:57] <coppro> kitche: I've installed through apt; never tried manually
[03:57] <nado> coppro, do you get freezes when running glxgears ? (that's not intensive i know)
[03:57] <coppro> nado: Not that I've noticed
[03:57] <coppro> but I haven't had it running in the background for long periods
[03:57] <itai_michaelson> Jenna48, alternatively you can try IE4linux
[03:57] <wanna_learn_more> nado:not yet
[03:57] <wanna_learn_more> nado:i will try it
[03:57] <kitche> !ati > coppro read the docs here they tell you exactly how to configure the driver I m not good with ati drivers
[03:57] <nado> wanna_learn_more, it should free up a lot more space
[03:58] <wanna_learn_more> nado:but isnt
[03:58] <wanna_learn_more> nado :i tried it,,now i dont have enough space anymore since my hardisk only 4 gb
[03:58] <itai_michaelson> does anyone know how to uninstall a programme taht was installed using a setup.sh file?
[03:58] <wanna_learn_more> should i remove gdm or xrg?
[03:58] <mattgyver83> how do i make a program availble by just typing in the name @ the command line, instead of typing the full path each time?
[03:58] <nado> wanna_learn_more, still after the autoremove ?
[03:58] <wanna_learn_more> yeah....stills
[03:58] <asdf_lafleche> hey, does anyone have some info on using dual monitors in ubuntu?  It works fine except when I maximize windows they span across both screens.  Is this a simple fix?  anyone?

[03:59] <iceroot> Nithrin: but you dont need a firewall at all
[04:00] <wanna_learn_more> nado:first i installed ubuntu server intrepid ibex 8.10 and i tried apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

[04:04] <M_> yo guys
[04:04] <oOarthurOo> freeflowcauvery: Do you have mac filtering on the router, and if so is your wireless mac address added to the exception list? If you dual boot windows and can connect from windows then this isn't the problem.

[04:06] <Whitor|> nubuntu,  debian is like ubuntu's bigger brother... I thought you'd be a suse guy or slackware perhaps
[04:06] <freeflowcauvery> and this laptop that I'm having trouble with was able to connect via xp before I blew it out

[04:06] <floato> can someone please help me with my freaking problem
[04:07]  * BlackCoffee sits down with a double bourbon and a hash pipe
[04:07] <nubuntu> no i hate suse
[04:07] <oOarthurOo> freeflowcauvery: Turn off mac filtering until you get your ubuntu laptop connected. Then once you get it connected you can clone the address to ensure that there are no mistypes. Second question, are you connecting with network manager, and  if so have you ever connected succesfully to another secure wireless network?
[04:07] <floato> nubuntu: help me with my problem
[04:07] <Ertain> I look to the logs and everything seems to start fine.

[04:08] <kitche> blackmamba: terminal is for command line
[04:08] <BlackCoffee> float i really wanted to know,how does that make me an idiot?
[04:09] <paragonc> when i ssh into my box from another machine, how can i launch an application so it shows up in gnome

[04:09]  * coppro sets an alarm to go off if the temperature gets above 50
[04:09] <PhotoJim> blackmamba: terminal is the way to use the Linux shell, which uses typed commands to do everything.  Far too rich an environment for me to describe in one sentence.  I recommend you get a Linux book for newbies.  It's super-powerful and super-flexible.

[04:10] <stduseren> any recommendations on ripping dvd software  something like dvd shink
[04:10] <PhotoJim> blackmamba: you're welcome.
[04:10] <aladin403> ubuntu  9.04 faster booting
[04:10] <paragonc> iceroot: Error: no display specified
[04:10] <PhotoJim> Nithrin: installing Linux software manually is fairly complex.  You're far better to use the Ubuntu OpenOffice packages.
[04:10] <coppro> hmm... I wonder if that worked
[04:10] <stduseren> any recommendations on ripping dvd software  something like dvd shink????????//
[04:10] <iceroot> ssh -X user@host      and then type e.g. firefox did not work?
[04:11] <asdf_lafleche> stduseren: I'm sure there's a few.  google it or even just go into add/remove software and type in DVD
[04:11] <coppro> stduseren: dd if=/dev/dvd of=file has worked for me more than enough
[04:11] <iceroot> paragonc: that was for you :) x-forwarding is enabled in sshd.conf?
[04:11] <junglist_> stduseren: Handbrake has a linux version now
[04:11] <BlackCoffee> hi,i'm having a problem with most KDE apps(im using gnome though).all menus and several other text aspects do not appear.what could be going wrong?

[04:11] <stduseren> coppro: thx
[04:11] <maxagaz> What is the config file managed by gnome-keybinding-properties ?
[04:11] <oOarthurOo> psyber: It's actually the screensaver that locks the computer after resume from suspend
[04:12] <paragonc> iceroot: http://pastebin.com/m59a2e398
[04:12] <stduseren> coppro: thx but what is that?
[04:12] <coppro> stduseren dd is a terminal utility that fundamentally copies one file to another, with a lot of options
[04:12] <stduseren> coppro: r u saying just use dd
[04:12] <coppro> yeah, unless you have some specific reason, it should do fine
[04:12] <psyber> oOarthurOo:  ohh, thank you
[04:13] <flippo> f u cn rd ths, u r prbly a trrbl spllr.
[04:13] <iceroot> paragonc: you tried that in xterm?
[04:13] <asdf_lafleche> so any info on where to find settings for dual screen in 9.04?
[04:13] <Whitor|> bluenzo, all supported hardware is detected at boot, if ubuntu sees new hardware, it downloads drivers from its driver repository and installes them, (unless you are talking about proprietary drivers) Then there is a tool that shows you what proprietary hardware you have physically installed and offers to enable the proprietary drivers for it.
[04:13] <stduseren> coppro: what about the encryption?
[04:13] <paragonc> iceroot: i'm in terminal on my macbook ssh'ing into my ubuntu 8.10 box
[04:13] <jtiner> hey guys, could any of you recommend a company that supplies shells?
[04:13] <paragonc> iceroot: my ubuntu box is hooked up to my tv
[04:14] <oOarthurOo> jtiner: Ubuntu has at least three shells available.
[04:14] <coppro> stduseren: the resulting image would still be encrypted - you'll need more advanced software to remove that
[04:14] <iceroot> paragonc: type xterm  and then do it again with ssh
[04:14] <aspoor> ssh is a shell?
[04:14] <M_> hey guys, did anyone make a zte 3g modem work fine in ubuntu?
[04:14] <SeViLLa> jtiner: what do you mean by supplies shells
[04:14] <jtiner> oOarthurOo: that's cool and everything, but for work i have to run vista or xp - so i'm trying to find a shell to use with PuTTY
[04:14] <PhotoJim> aspoor: ssh isn't a shell.  ssh is a way to connect to a shell on another machine.
[04:15] <iceroot> aspoor: ssh is a protocol
[04:15] <paragonc> iceroot: im confused, do i type xterm in terminal on my macbook?
[04:15] <iceroot> paragonc: yes
[04:15] <aspoor> I see
[04:15] <paragonc> iceroot: i dont have xterm on my macbook
[04:15] <iceroot> paragonc: hm ok
[04:15] <paragonc> iceroot: only terminal
[04:15] <aspoor> like z modem, lol
[04:16] <aspoor> or cexyz?
[04:16] <PhotoJim> jtiner: you can buy shell access from lots of companies.  or you can find an old computer (even a 486 or Pentium) and run a Linux distribution on it, and enable an ssh server to which you can connect.
[04:16] <grocer> xterm is a terminal on mac...it can run different shells...i ended up putting bash on mine...
[04:16] <paragonc> im using the default terminal.app in os x 10.4
[04:16] <jtiner> PhotoJim: yeah i'm with that, i have a laptop and this machine i'm on now, but i have to keep windows on them for work - kinda lame huh
[04:17] <PhotoJim> jtiner: there is a version of Ubuntu you can run as a Windows task.  or you can run Linux off a bootable CD.
[04:17] <jewfish> grocer, xterm is a terminal emulator not a physical terminal ;)
[04:17] <grocer> is there a graphics problem ubuntu chat?
[04:17] <PhotoJim> jtiner: or just pick up a cheap Pentium III with decent memory and play with Linux on that.
[04:17] <SeViLLa> grocer: so is xterm the same for ubuntu
[04:18] <lwizardl> anyone here used something like this with ubuntu? http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/op/z_002336tray.jpg
[04:18] <grocer> isn't bash the same in whatever terminal you're in? (virtual or otherwise?)
[04:18] <PhotoJim> grocer: more or less.
[04:18] <grocer> ergo, wouldn't you just pick the same shell?
[04:19] <nado> lwizardl, a rack ?
[04:19] <SeViLLa> jewfish: thats what i thought xterm was
[04:19] <lwizardl> nado, mobile rack yes
[04:19] <paragonc> ok - let me rephrase this - i'd like the application im launching to load on the off site server
[04:19] <nado> lwizardl, do you want the system installed on it ?
[04:19] <arodd> DasEi:  Thank you.
[04:20] <nado> paragonc, how are you connecting to the off site server ?
[04:20] <paragonc> nado: ssh
[04:21] <nado> if you want to start a graphical application, you need to 'ssh -X' forward X display
[04:21] <nado> paragonc, if you want to run an application that keeps running even when you log off, check 'man screen'
[04:21] <lwizardl> nado, not really, what i was thinking about doing was installing the main os onto the internal drive something like an 80gb and then having multiple other drives using those racks for the media frontend to read
[04:22] <nado> lwizardl, it should not be a problem
[04:22] <lwizardl> nado, but would i have to keep doing anything when i change the drives out with something else?
[04:23] <nado> lwizardl, the system should recognize that the drives are different and compute a unique UUID for each drive
[04:23] <nado> technically you should not have to do anything
[04:23] <nado> but that's the theory you know :D
[04:23] <lwizardl> nado, so it would basically act like it does with external usb drives
[04:23] <lwizardl> yeah
[04:23] <Kirill_> I formatted a drive in Gparted to be HFS+ and now Ubuntu can't write to it, only read it. What gives?
[04:24] <nado> it would act more like an internal drive lwizardl
[04:24] <nado> unless you rack is USB.. but it doesn't seem like it
[04:24] <mysticdarkhack> hello\
[04:24] <lwizardl> Kirill_, well hfs+ if its journalised then it can't write to it, disable journal on it and ubuntu would be able to write to it
[04:24] <BlackCoffee> hi,i'm having a problem with most KDE apps(im using gnome though).all menus and several other text aspects do not appear.what could be going wrong?
[04:25] <mysticdarkhack> anyone know the name of the screen resolution in ubuntu?
[04:25] <lwizardl> mysticdarkhack, ?
[04:25] <nado> mysticdarkhack, what are you looking for exactly ?
[04:25] <mysticdarkhack> screen resolution manager
[04:26] <Kirill_> lwizardl -> I don't have a Mac. I formatted it using default settings in Gparted? Would Gparted make it journaled by default??
[04:26] <rcy>  My desktop is too big for the display. No matter the resolution I select, part of the desktop is not on the screen. Using 8.10 with Nvidia 8400 pci-e card. I'm using version 177 of the Nvidia driver. Any ideas?
[04:26] <DaemonLee> Question, I have a Desktop machine, and I was wondering how to get ubuntu to place output on the S-Video instead of the VGA?
[04:26] <grocer> is this the same thing on Freenode?
[04:26] <nado> mysticdarkhack, System->Preferences->Screen Resolution
[04:26] <BlackCoffee> can i dual boot windows and ubuntu installing windows on another hard drive instead of creating a new partition?
[04:27] <tonsofpcs> DaemonLee: check your hardware
[04:27] <nado> rcy, pm me
[04:27] <DaemonLee> tonsofpcs, What do you mean by that/
[04:27] <DaemonLee> *?
[04:27] <L3dPlatedLinux> ok I know this is stupid but I forgot how to adjust how many desktops I have ?
[04:27] <itai_michaelson> BlackCoffee, yes
[04:27] <rcy> nado: not sure how to do that...
[04:27] <mysticdarkhack> nado it now on my system, preferences since I did some upgrade
[04:27] <lwizardl> nado, ok because i'm looking to build a media backend server to house all my media files (dvds, videos, pictures, music, etc). and I want to be able to swap out drives incase I run out of empty bays in the case
[04:27] <PhotoJim> BlackCoffee: sure.  on my desktop, I have grub (the boot software) and Windows on one drive, and my entire Linux installation on another physical drive.
[04:28] <TornilloTorcido> Hola?
[04:28] <mysticdarkhack> so I just wondering the name of it so I can install it
[04:28] <TornilloTorcido> Hay alguien aca?
[04:28] <BlackCoffee> great
[04:28] <lwizardl> L3dPlatedLinux, right click the desktop icon in bottom right of screen
[04:28] <nado> lwizardl, yeah i understand.. it shouldnt be a problem
[04:28] <BlackCoffee> i just didn't wanna go thru the live cd formatting tool step
[04:28] <aladin403> 9.04 driver 180.37  have a good display
[04:28] <L3dPlatedLinux> I removed that i know there has to be another way
[04:28] <nado> lwizardl, not sure you can hot swap them though
[04:28] <lwizardl> Kirill_, doubtful but you might want to check anyway
[04:28] <BlackCoffee> last time i did that i lost suse and winxp :\
[04:28] <space_cadet> blackcoffee y not?
[04:28] <space_cadet> ahh
[04:28] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, do you have vista?
[04:29] <PhotoJim> BlackCoffee: install a second drive, and tell Linux to install the OS there.  No problem.
[04:29] <BlackCoffee> i have no windows in my system since that day lol
[04:29] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, as long as you use manual in the partitioning step and defrag your xp partition
[04:29] <Kirill_> lwizardl -> I read somewhere that running chown on the external drive can do the trick but I'm on Ubuntu Live CD and the drive is owned by root
[04:29] <BlackCoffee> i'm planning on installing xpsp2 but only for audio production
[04:29] <DaemonLee> Question, I have a Desktop machine, and I was wondering how to get ubuntu to place output on the S-Video instead of the VGA? I do have a S-Video Cord running from my tower to my TV.
[04:29] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, the manual partitioning step is just that, manual
[04:29] <lwizardl> nado, yeah thats what i was looking for, was thinking about keeping my porn collection on one of those and using it only on the frontend that will view the stuff
[04:29] <DaemonLee> And it shows bootup, perfectly.
[04:29] <itai_michaelson> BlackCoffee, windows will wipe out your grub bottloader - you will need to reinstall it afterwards
[04:29] <BlackCoffee> yeah,i read about that
[04:30] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, BlackCoffee or use the bootpart method and utilize windows' bootloader
[04:30] <nado> lol lwizardl , i don't need to know the details of what's on your drives man :D
[04:30] <BlackCoffee> i mean,i'm kind of studying the manual,don't want ubuntu to die
[04:30] <aladin403> any have installyng ubuntu 9.04 beta vers¿?
[04:30] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, BlackCoffee but then you have to install grub to ubuntu's partition not the MBR
[04:30] <lwizardl> Kirill_, ah well to do a chown its basically what i do is just 'chmod 777 /path/to/drive' which lets all my users write to it
[04:30] <nado> lwizardl, http://linux.die.net/man/1/hotswap
[04:30] <space_cadet> and you get two boot loaders. kinda redundant
[04:31] <BlackCoffee> but...is it ok if i leave only the default windows bootloader?will it show ubuntu too?
[04:31] <DaemonLee> Question, I have a Desktop machine, and I was wondering how to get ubuntu to place output on the S-Video instead of the VGA? I do have a S-Video Cord running from my tower to my TV. It does show bootup on both monitor and TV screen. When login occurs, TV goes black.
[04:31] <lwizardl> nado, hehe i'm just being honest (you know something that doesn't happen alot on irc)
[04:31] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, like I said, you have to install grub to ubuntu's partition
[04:31] <nado> hehe :)
[04:31] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, it defaults to the MBR
[04:31] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, there are tuts out there on how to "restore grub"
[04:31] <lwizardl> DaemonLee, first you gotta enable that in the monitor options. which usually is set for second display
[04:32] <BlackCoffee> yeah,i have one of those bookmarked,got it from the ubuntu forum
[04:32] <itai_michaelson> BlackCoffee, space_cadet i believe it would be easier just to restore grub
[04:32] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, from what I've experienced, grub fails to load xp
[04:32] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, on my machine at least
[04:32] <BlackCoffee> i'll do whatever suits better for a n00b
[04:33] <itai_michaelson> space_cadet, i never had that experience...
[04:33] <aladin403> swap  begin cilindres (most rend)
[04:33] <aladin403> faster boot
[04:33] <nado> lwizardl, there is a gui front end for it also. Package hotswap-gui
[04:33] <lwizardl> nado, ah sweet thanks
[04:33] <Kirill_> YES!!!
[04:33] <Kirill_> I can write to HFS+!!!!
[04:34] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, basically the way I did it, install xp, then ubuntu, when installing ubuntu, install grub on ubuntu's partition (at the last step before actually installing)  THEN, after the install, boot to windows, use bootpart to grab the bootsector of the ubuntu partition and add an entry to BOOT.INI and then you have it working.
[04:34] <space_cadet> but that is a lot of work   ^^
[04:34] <Kirill_> lwizardl -> I can write to it from terminal using sudo
[04:34] <DaemonLee> Question, I have a Desktop machine, and I was wondering how to get ubuntu to place output on the S-Video instead of the VGA? I do have a S-Video Cord running from my tower to my TV. It does show bootup on both monitor and TV screen. When login occurs, TV goes black.
[04:34] <aladin403> ..b o ot  ...swap  nad...ext4 files of system
[04:34] <grocer> I put Unbuntu 8.10 on an ancient PII 300 with 448mb ram and a TNT2...it runs fine (on it right now) but it's stuck in 800x600. Is a TNT2 thing?
[04:34] <Nithrin> What is a good program in Ubuntu to watch movies?
[04:34] <aladin403> is partition perfect
[04:35] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, what's your disk like right now.
[04:35] <BlackCoffee> well
[04:35] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, aka, what do you have installed?
[04:35] <BlackCoffee> i have ubuntu installed on the primary hard disk,it's a 40 gb disk
[04:35] <lwizardl> Kirill_, ok then its not a journal partition, do the install like you was going to do then either chown the drive to make it your users or just chmod 777 to give full access to everyone on that machine
[04:35] <nado> Nithrin, vlc is great
[04:35] <BlackCoffee> and have 25 free gigas
[04:35] <psyber> anyone here have trouble reconnecting to wired Internet after standby?
[04:35] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, and you want to do what?
[04:35] <BlackCoffee> i want to leave that only for running ubuntu
[04:36] <glitsj16> DaemonLee: there's some info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/SVideo that might be instructive
[04:36] <BlackCoffee> and windows running from another hdd
[04:36] <aladin403> memory swap usage 0 ..256 MB is suficient
[04:36] <DaemonLee> glitsj16, Looking now.
[04:36] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, well...  what I would do is go out in search for "dual boot xp ubuntu, ubuntu first"
[04:36] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, and just apply that to a dual HDD situation
[04:37] <space_cadet> OR
[04:37] <lwizardl> also anyone know how to tell before you buy a raid controller if it supports ubuntu & linux? example would the ubuntu installer be able to directly use the controller without needing extra stuff or config
[04:37] <DaemonLee> glitsj16, I get an error when attempting any of those.
[04:37] <DaemonLee> The error is: Can't open display.
[04:37] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, you could remove your ubuntu HDD and place another HDD in and install XP, then put the ubuntu HDD back in, and make the xp drive a slave.
[04:37] <Kirill_> lwizardl -> Thank you for your help and tips. I'm copying stuff to the drive using sudo dd already. I hope it's all smooth sailing from here.
[04:37] <Nithrin> I heard that Dell XPS M1530 overworks the processes or inefficiently uses it or something. Is this true?
[04:37] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, then update grub.
[04:38] <BlackCoffee> so basically i have this many options
[04:38] <itai_michaelson> space_cadet, BlackCoffee in that case ,install XP, restore grub would probably be the easiest, in the unlikely case it doesnt work- install grub to ubuntu partition and restore mbr
[04:38] <Whitor|> Hi, found answer, acpi -t  will show cpu temp from a command line.
[04:38] <glitsj16> DaemonLee: have you tried option B yet ?
[04:38] <lwizardl> Kirill_, congrats man. i only needed a hfs+ drive for my 360 to read my HD wmv collection
[04:38] <DaemonLee> glitsj16, should I?
[04:38] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, ^^ read my last two posts, and see if that may work.
[04:38] <bluenzo> BlackCoffee, can i PM you?
[04:38] <BlackCoffee> sure
[04:38] <speedcore> is there any open source banking system. A routing protocol where people lend to people, only very small pieces. Så security of repayment is through all of the nodes. Otherwize? There is an idea for you all =)
[04:39] <aladin403> master boot  windows defaults of fabrick get up dual boot with linux
[04:39] <itai_michaelson> space_cadet, you think that is easier than install xp ,restore grub?
[04:39] <aladin403> it's true
[04:39] <glitsj16> DaemonLee: i would have tried both other options first personally, you might want to explicitly add display, checking man xrandr on that before going for B
[04:39] <DaemonLee> I tried both other options, and both options gave me error.
[04:39] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, depends on what you mean by easier?
[04:39] <DaemonLee> So, I dunno.
[04:40] <DaemonLee> I'll try.
[04:40] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, I've really had no experience installing xp to a slave drive with ubuntu already installed to the master
[04:40] <psyber> anyone here have trouble reconnecting to wired Internet after standby?
[04:40] <aladin403> you have a problems booting .sure
[04:41] <asdf_n00b> hey.  does anyone know how to work dcgui?  I can't seem to add shared folders.  everytime i reconnect they seem to dissapear.  i'm disconnected from my hub saying I'm not sharing enough
[04:41] <Sal--> anyone have any experience setting up a samba server so you can mount shares on a computer outside of the network?
[04:41] <mattgyver83> Sal-- just basic windows to linux networking?
[04:41] <itai_michaelson> space_cadet, my experience is that install xp ,restore grub works fine (though doesnt work with vista that smoothly)...
[04:41] <Sal--> matt, in my case mac to linux
[04:41] <space_cadet> lol
[04:41] <Sal--> but windows to linux as well would be nice
[04:41] <quietas> Hey all, what's out there for web based torrent clients? I've been trying torrentflux, but it seems to have issues with PB's http headers, Transmission works, but it's plain. Does Azureus/Vuze have a decent Web interface?
[04:41] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, I just did the reverse on a dell lol
[04:42] <Erik__> any suggestions for a lightweight MTA.  All I need is something that will accept SMTP connections from localhost and then deliver to the destination MX server
[04:42] <DaemonLee> glitsj16, restarting now with info added in Xorg.
[04:42] <Kirill_> Hmm, how does dd work on Live CD. Am I going to run out of memory because it's putting the entire harddisk image in it?
[04:42] <itai_michaelson> space_cadet, installed ubuntu on an xp machine?
[04:42] <arodd> quietas: deluge webui is pretty rocking
[04:42] <mattgyver83> Sal-- Im not the brightest but it took me a long time to figure out i had to create a smb user and password to connect, could that be what you need to do?
[04:42] <glitsj16> DaemonLee: ok, goodluck
[04:42] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, vista
[04:42] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, and actually...
[04:42] <Sal--> possibly
[04:42] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, hold on one sec.
[04:42] <voxel> Is there a way to recursively delete files that match a certain pattern from an arbitrary directory structure? I tried rm -r ./tmp*
[04:42] <DaemonLee> glitsj16, I know it works, because I can see it all the way up to login.
[04:42] <Sal--> sorry I'm using strictly command line here, no gui
[04:42] <DaemonLee> FAILURE!
[04:42] <grocer> Ubuntu 8.10 with a TNT2, does the NV driver support 1024x768? I'm stuck in 800x600...
[04:42] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=991987
[04:42] <DaemonLee> Correction....
[04:42] <DaemonLee> SUCCESS!
[04:42] <DaemonLee> I think.
[04:42] <FloodBot2> DaemonLee: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:43] <BlackCoffee> space_cadet: either way,all options seem very viable.i'll probably read more about all of them in different web tutorials and select the one that suits more for a noob like me
[04:43] <DaemonLee> lol
[04:43] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, that's my thread
[04:43] <quietas> arodd: I saw that one, the documentation was a bit sketchy, I'll look deeper
[04:43] <mattgyver83> Sal-- @ command line run -smbpasswd -a <user> where user = the name you want
[04:43] <Erik__> look into the find command with the -exec option, voxel
[04:43] <DaemonLee> lol
[04:43] <asdf_n00b> hmm..  dcgui? anyone?
[04:43] <mattgyver83> Sal-- Then it will promopt for a password.  After that as long as the 2 PCs see each other on the network you can connect just fine
[04:43] <arodd> quietas: I think it is integrated and no longer a plugin but don't quote me
[04:44] <Sal--> matt, is there anyway to track bandwidth usage ?
[04:44] <WBL_O_O> Can I upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 from a distro cd that came with a friends new dell?
[04:44] <mattgyver83> That i dont know
[04:44] <quietas> arodd: hehe, I read a bit and it says the best parts are plugins, but I think most is built in now as there are only two plugins to download
[04:44] <Tann> Hello
[04:44] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, as long as you don't wipe your ubuntu partitions you should be good.
[04:44] <itai_michaelson> Black Coffee (and space_cadet ), you have many options, no doubt the fastest would be install xp then restore grub , but if that someohow doesnt work -there are other options as described before - perhaps those options are safer
[04:44] <oOarthurOo> Anyway to fix openoffice menus with the new wave theme?
[04:44] <mattgyver83> Sal-- I imagine there are system monitor gui tools you can find however from command line, im not sure
[04:44] <Sal--> yeah im sure
[04:44] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee,  agreed with itai_michaelson above.. ^^
[04:45] <aladin403> hmm... you need help  of a expert .i dont know
[04:45] <Sal--> what about restricting access here
[04:45] <Sal--> i just created an account
[04:45] <Sal--> but i was hoping whatever user shell accounts would have the same perms on the samba share itself
[04:45] <itai_michaelson> space_cadet, out of interest - why did you keep vista?
[04:45] <Sal--> such as restricting to the home directory
[04:45] <aladin403> i am  expert  80%
[04:45] <Tann> Is it possible to use multiple GPUs in Jaunty? In this case I have an newer NVIDIA card and an older one.
[04:45] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, unsure on whether or not i wanted to use 7 half time or not.
[04:46] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, i had just installed 7
[04:46] <aladin403> you need a miracle
[04:46] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, I have since formatted and have win7 and ubuntu only.
[04:46] <arodd> quietas: the best part of deluge is now you can launch the gui from any pc and connect to a backend central deluge daemon.  Windows/Linux/etc.
[04:46] <itai_michaelson> space_cadet, :-)
[04:47] <Sal--> matt, i still can't connect :(
[04:47] <arodd> quietas: since they added that support i dropped the webui
[04:47] <Sal--> remember i'm outside the network
[04:47] <Sal--> on the computer that i'm trying to mount the share on
[04:47] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, this one looks allright at first glance... http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm
[04:47] <mattgyver83> Sal-- That shouldnt be a big issue, as long as you can see it, you should be able to connect, at least i would think so
[04:47] <aladin403> oh my god :-)
[04:47] <Sal--> i'm trying, it just looks like it's hanging
[04:48] <BlackCoffee> let's see
[04:48] <quietas> arodd: nice, any howto's out there? The web page really sucks for info other than marketing bs and such, doesn't even say what port or server dir. I guess I'll have to go conf hunting
[04:48] <mattgyver83> Sal-- If there is a firewall on the other side it could be blocking the connection
[04:48] <WBL_O_O> is it possible to upgrade 7.10 using an 8.04 distribution cd that came with a new dell? or does upgrading require a special cd?
[04:48] <Sal--> no firewall
[04:48] <mattgyver83> WBL, you can do it that way i think
[04:48] <Sal--> it's my server i have root access
[04:48] <Sal--> what port does samba run on?
[04:48] <Sal--> 137 ?
[04:48] <quietas> several as I remember
[04:49] <mattgyver83> Yeah, 443 comes to mind as well
[04:49] <quietas> 445 also
 is for expert  but you can intent
[04:49] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, if you are going to use that tut, just disregard the "make space for windows xp" if you are going to use a seperate drive...
[04:49] <WBL_O_O> mattgyver83-> I don't want to blow away my data
[04:49] <BePhantom> back
[04:49] <BlackCoffee> actually i was reading that when i decided to come here and make my question lol
[04:49] <quietas> 137, 19 for the netbios stuff as well
[04:49] <melik> what is Update Notifier in Sesions?
[04:49] <quietas> 137, 139 for the netbios stuff as well
[04:49] <space_cadet> lol
[04:50] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, what was your original question?
[04:50] <Sal--> 443 is ssl
[04:50] <arodd> quietas: if you pm me i can walk you through it
[04:50] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, i wasnt here to read it.
[04:50] <Sal--> i don't see any rules in the iptables
[04:50] <bluenzo> space_cadet, im duel booting vista and ubuntu
[04:50] <space_cadet> k
[04:50] <sergio> Q
[04:50] <space_cadet> bluenzo, ok..
[04:50] <map7`afk> If i've setup a VPN through NetworkManager, how would I run that connection on the command line?
   :-)
[04:50] <bluenzo> i find it easiest to install vista first then ubuntu, cuz then grub's list if perfect
[04:51] <Kirill_> When I use "dd" to copy from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb1 it goes on for a while and then I press Ctrl + C and it tells me it coppied 23 GB but I look inside /dev/sda and nothing has been copied. What gives?
[04:51] <glitsj16> melik: it's an application to keep your system informed on available updates
[04:51] <itai_michaelson> Black Coffee - look at this one (to restore grub) - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[04:51] <Sal--> port 139 is open heh
[04:51] <Nithrin> Geez Ubuntu is fast. It makes Vista look like crap!
[04:51] <Sal--> so is 445
[04:51] <as2000> aye
[04:51] <space_cadet> bluenzo, well if you read my thread... that wasn't an option or a problem...  (for me)  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=991987
[04:52] <jdb> Anyone know whether I can process a combined other_vhosts_access_log with all my virutal domains in it and get meaningful statistics for each domain?  I don't really want to set up individual logs for each domain if I can avoid it
[04:52] <paragonc> how do i detmine which session X is running on and output an application screen to that session?
[04:52] <bluenzo> space_cadet, what wasnt an option?
[04:52] <itai_michaelson> BlackCoffee, it adds the find /boot/grub/stage1 command which is important sometimes
[04:52] <space_cadet> bluenzo, nope. i already had ubuntu and vista installed.
[04:52] <BlackCoffee> space_cadet> BlackCoffee, what was your original question?<<<---i'm digging up,wait,i'll paste it lol
[04:52] <space_cadet> k
[04:52] <space_cadet> itai_michaelson, sometimes??
[04:52] <space_cadet> lol
[04:52] <melik> thanks glitsj16, and can you explain what seahorse daemon is?
[04:53] <bluenzo> I think BlackCoffee wanted to know if it was possible
[04:53] <BlackCoffee> space_cadet:<BlackCoffee> can i dual boot windows and ubuntu installing windows on another hard drive instead of creating a new partition?
[04:53] <BlackCoffee> there
[04:53] <space_cadet> shouldn't be a problem from what I can guess.
[04:53] <WBL_O_O> is it possible to upgrade 7.10 using an 8.04 oem cd, or does upgrading require a special cd?
[04:53] <itai_michaelson> space_cadet, on those times when its not hd0,0 :-)

[04:54] <jtaji> jdb: if you use vhost_combined instead of combined for your CustomLog format it should add the domain info to the log

[04:54] <bluenzo> BlackCoffee, are you sata or IDE?
[04:55] <SeViLLa> WBL_O_O: ouch
[04:55] <space_cadet> bluenzo, that shouldn't make a difference...
[04:55] <bluenzo> space_cadet, both of my HDDs are "master"s technically
[04:55] <bluenzo> ;x
[04:55] <glitsj16> melik: seahorse is a frontend to GnuPG, it is used to keep data communication secure ... you can get a short summary of each available package using synaptic by the way
[04:55] <BlackCoffee> Bluenzo:ide
[04:55] <BlackCoffee> though the new HDD might be SATA
[04:55] <space_cadet> bluenzo, unless you have them on seperate channels, that's impossible...
[04:55] <louis17> hola
[04:55] <bluenzo> space_cadet, yes they are separate channels lol
[04:56] <space_cadet> lol
[04:56] <jdb> jtaji I tried just running that through webalizer but it didnt seem to distinguish the different domains
[04:56] <bluenzo> one is IDE one is sata ;x
[04:56] <space_cadet> sd vs hd
[04:56] <SeViLLa> WBL_O_O: what about a place that has a hotspot or a library
[04:56] <space_cadet> bluenzo, did you know that HDD's have negative tracks?
 you grub-----> error 17.i think
[04:56] <jtaji> jdb: hmm, dunno, I'm using awstats with separate log files for each vhost
[04:56] <cratel> my ttf fonts are looking weird (spacing, odd italics) on the screen in open office. But if I export as PDF the PDF looks good. Intrepid. Any way to fix?
[04:57] <bluenzo> aladin403, ya if u get error17, nothing super grub cant fix
[04:57] <aladin403> okey
[04:57] <WBL_O_O> SeViLLa-> rural, very rural area; work and travel; would like to do it from a cd, even if I have to order it.
[04:57] <ubuntugeek> I have a dual boot system (networked) but on boot up, into ubuntu it will only boot in recovery mode. I then get a error message that $home/.drdc is being ignored an says that user should be owned by user and requires 644 permissions and boots up. how do I fix this?
[04:57] <Sal--> i throw in the towel
[04:57] <Sal--> thanks anyways
[04:57] <space_cadet> bluenzo, i think aladin403 is commenting on a subject that hasn't taken place...
[04:58] <bluenzo> space_cadet, time travel?
[04:58] <space_cadet> prolly
[04:58] <bluenzo> space_cadet, lol
[04:58] <SeViLLa> WBL_O_O: well ive never done it that way maycheck the ubuntu forums or a howto page
[04:58] <cratel> ubuntugeek: make sure your home directory for that user is owned by the user and set the perms to 644, just like it says.
[04:58] <space_cadet> aladin403, so how's that quantim physics coming?
[04:59] <space_cadet> aladin403, gotten into string theory yet?
[04:59] <space_cadet> cratel, rtfm?
[04:59] <WBL_O_O> SeViLLa-> did that before I came here... no luck. Seems like a straightforward question, but I can't seem to find an answer. Thanks anyway.
[04:59] <SeViLLa> WBL_O_O: good luck
[05:00] <joe-mac> hey guys i am a sys admin but not too up to par on desktop stuff these days. does anyone know the status of blu ray video? I want it also for data archival, but is video playback possible yet? also what is the fastest out right now?
[05:00] <ubuntugeek> it is already set to owner I am the only user of this machine
[05:00] <jdb> jtaji are you manually setting up the apache directives for the separate logs for each domain and separate aws configs or is there an easier way to do that that isn't so laborious
[05:00] <cratel> space_cadet: are you referring to my oo question? If so, can you tell me what manual and what page, or are you just being a smartass?
[05:00] <space_cadet> cratel, it's like "help I cannot mount my ntfs volume, it keeps telling me to do mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdg1 /media/SimpleDrivePS -o force"
[05:01] <cratel> ubuntugeek: and the permissions are 644?
[05:01] <space_cadet> cratel, i was referring to the question you answered...
[05:01] <jtaji> jdb: manually, I don't have many vhosts, and awstats didn't require any configuring, really
[05:01] <thewizord> can anyone take a look at the following pastebin of my ubuntu hardy machine and make some sense of it for me? http://pastebin.com/m1fd275f8
[05:01] <Nithrin> I cannot seem to get VLC to play my movie. Someone help plz?
[05:02] <itai_michaelson> Nithrin, did you install ubuntu-restricted extras?
[05:02] <Nithrin> Where do I get those and how?
[05:02] <joe-mac> thewizord: did you recently install some new hardware, or upgrade your kernel and/or modules?
[05:02] <space_cadet> Nithrin, medibuntu repos
[05:02] <Nithrin> I have not upgraded my kernel I dun think
[05:02] <thewizord> joe-mac: nothing...
[05:03] <thewizord> joe-mac: its all teh same as its been for months
[05:03] <thewizord> joe-mac: it all of a suddne started totally freezing, thats what the end result was.
[05:03] <space_cadet> Nithrin, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[05:03] <itai_michaelson> Nithrin, read this : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[05:03] <space_cadet> there u go...
[05:03] <itai_michaelson> :-)
[05:03] <Julian1> :-D
[05:03] <thewizord> joe-mac: I can't make sense out of the message thats pasted, but its what came up immediately during the lock
[05:04] <thewizord> joe-mac: it seems to be mostly sound devices, does it not?
[05:04] <Qareen> do eclise or netbeans need virtual machines to run on ubuntu?
[05:04] <meoblast001> hi
[05:04] <meoblast001> i need a program that will let me browse the memory a program is populating
[05:04] <Qareen> like Bluej on windows?
[05:04] <meoblast001> i'm a programmer and i need to find out why my program is populating so much RAM
[05:04] <aladin403> okey :-) specimen
[05:05] <joe-mac> thewizord: no, i blame the proprietary tauinted module, but that's just my old support job coming out
[05:05] <BlackCoffee> any java programmer here?
[05:05] <joe-mac> idk if that's sound or not i am a little out ot if
[05:05] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, #java ?
[05:05] <thewizord> joe-mac: well did you read the paste?
[05:05] <joe-mac> BlackCoffee: shoot, i used to java a little
[05:06] <aladin403> java is very easy
[05:06] <Nithrin> I found it, but when I tried to enable it, it said it is conflicting with other software
[05:06] <space_cadet> Nithrin, like??
[05:06] <joe-mac> obviously thewizord, otherwise i wouldn't know that your kernel is tainted by a proprietary module :-)
[05:06] <space_cadet> Nithrin, flash player??
[05:06] <aladin403> spacemen :-)
[05:06] <BlackCoffee> space_cadet: thanx again
[05:06] <aladin403> hgvb
[05:06] <Nithrin> I installed VLC
[05:06] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, yep
[05:06] <Nithrin> otherwise I have not really installed anything
[05:07] <_Brun0_> "sudo tasksel install lamp-server" hangs in ubuntu 8.10. Anyone?
[05:07] <space_cadet> Nithrin, what does it say it's conflicting with?  and what was the reason to install VLC?
[05:07] <Nithrin> Someone told me VLC was good
[05:07] <Nithrin> Not needed?
[05:07] <BlackCoffee> joe-mac:ok,i wanna know if netbeans or eclipse need virtual machines o if they run natively on ubuntu
[05:07] <space_cadet> lol
[05:07] <thewizord> joe-mac: well I haven't ran any updates in a long while
[05:07] <thewizord> joe-mac: the machine seems qutie biffed now too
[05:07] <space_cadet> Nithrin, unless you have a specific need for vlc, i would say not......
[05:08] <Kirill_> What's the best linux command to copy a large directory with some hidden files and some very large files 10GB+
[05:08] <aladin403> spacemen  you like :-)
[05:08] <space_cadet> Nithrin, however, it would be helpful if you could name the packages that whatever said was conflicting...
[05:08] <Nithrin> It did not specify
[05:08] <space_cadet> hmm...
[05:08] <thewizord> joe-mac: I need some advice on how to undo this
[05:08] <`brandon`> how do i do the 3d box again?
[05:08] <space_cadet> Nithrin, which tut?
[05:09] <aladin403> hmm... yes or not?
[05:09] <aladin403> :-)
[05:09] <joe-mac> thewizord: i give you five points for usin the word 'biffed'. type cat /proc/sys/kernel/tainted  you should get the number 1
[05:09] <Nithrin> This application conflicts with other installed software. To install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' the conflicting software must be removed first.
[05:09] <space_cadet> thewizord, 1   ubuntu 500
[05:10] <space_cadet> Nithrin, try this...   open synaptic package manager and find ubuntu-restricted-extras
[05:10] <space_cadet> Nithrin, mark for installation and it should tell you which packages conflict.
[05:10] <`brandon`> thewizord 1   ubuntu 500
[05:10] <thewizord> joe-mac: so once I get that? whats the end result? do i need to now format the box?
[05:10] <tambu> If you make changes to  70-persistent-net.rules for example to rename eth1 <-> eth2.. how do you make those changes take effect other than reboot?
[05:10] <joe-mac> no no no
[05:10] <joe-mac> no
[05:10] <space_cadet> Nithrin, you have to click the arrow to see them i think
[05:10] <joe-mac> never just format
[05:10] <joe-mac> just tell me, do you get a 1 or 0
[05:10] <`brandon`> brandon 1kde
[05:11] <joe-mac> tambu: /etc/init.d/udev restart methinks
[05:11] <tambu> joe-mac, tried that it didn't seem to work.
[05:11] <Nithrin> I found ubuntu-restricted-extras in the search. Should I apply and install?
[05:12] <`brandon`> !compiz | brandon
[05:12] <space_cadet> Nithrin, yes, but at the prompt report back what conflicts and/or must be removed...
[05:12] <abhishekiitd> i had NVIDI installed and running on my laptop for a week but today when i started it then suddenly all the graphics are gone and i cant even find nvidia card in system , prefereneces>hardware
[05:13] <joe-mac> tambu: thec ommand is
[05:13] <Nithrin> libavcodec51 is to be removed. I guess that is what was causing the problem
[05:13] <joe-mac> sudo cat /proc/sys/kernel/tainted
[05:13] <space_cadet> abhishekiitd, did it take  longer to start up than usual?  did you recently boot and shutdown windows on the same machine?  are you using nvidia 177 drivers?
[05:13] <abhishekiitd> i had NVIDI installed and running on my laptop for a week but today when i started it then suddenly all the graphics are gone and i cant even find nvidia card in system , prefereneces>hardware................PLEASE HELP
[05:13] <joe-mac> you will probably see 1. my guess is you have the nvidia restricted drivers of ati drivers
[05:14] <abhishekiitd> spacce
[05:14] <tambu> joe-mac you talking to me.. I do see 1.. what does nvidia drivers have to do with networking?
[05:14] <space_cadet> Nithrin, i guess it was installed with vlc
[05:14] <kplus> Can someone please tell me what settings i need to use to get a pair of creative USB speakers working in Ubuntu? Thank you.
[05:14] <abhishekiitd> space_cadet:yes it took a bit longer, because of its error message at the start that it could not detect graphics card and hence running in low resolution mode
[05:14] <thewizord> joe-mac: okay, i've got it booting up onto my displays second input, so I can bounce back and forth between machines on one monitor
[05:15] <thewizord> joe-mac: i'm gonna run the said command above.
[05:15] <Supavisah> How do I set the audio device in Ubuntu.. I've plugged in my USB Logitech headphones, but it plays via my speakers.
[05:16] <space_cadet> abhishekiitd, have you recently updated?
[05:16] <thewizord> joe-mac: okay so it gave me the #1 as you said
[05:16] <MBDL> hi there i have an issue where almost all my apps before my upgrade from 8.10 open then close sometimes so quick u dont even see the window pop up... for example google earth will open just as the tip of the day opens everything closes anyone have any ideas that can help
[05:16] <thewizord> joe-mac: what does this mean for me?
[05:16] <aladin403> time of the te
[05:16] <abhishekiitd> space_cadet:nopes, i recentle installed it, rather
[05:16] <paragonc> whats the best way to add a program to startup via the command line ?  (need to launch irexec at boot time )
[05:16] <space_cadet> abhishekiitd, and it worked before?
[05:16] <space_cadet> abhishekiitd, and how did you go about installing it?
[05:16] <abhishekiitd> space_cadet:as good as it could as worked
[05:16] <joe-mac> thewizord: it means your kernel is tainted by a module, in this case, a proprietary module. because is it not open source the linux devs have no way of knowing its quality and often random crahses are dcaused by proprietary modules
[05:16] <Nithrin> I get the Error: Could not read from resource with the movie player. Anyone help?
[05:17] <Rabbitbunny> !es
[05:17] <space_cadet> hmm...
[05:17] <joe-mac> is this crashing repeatedly thewizord?
[05:17] <joe-mac> and by repeatedly i really mean consistently
[05:17] <abhishekiitd> space_cadet:well, after i installed ubuntu. i went to hardware drivers, disabled and enabled nvidia..it downloaded and installed some files
[05:18] <mobi-sheep> I'm curious about deluge-torrent.  I'd like to install it but I don't know if I wanted "deluge" or "deluge-torrent" package?  When I attempt to install either, it seems to be very  similar?
[05:18] <Ropechoborra> !upgrade
[05:18] <jcapinc> hey is there any way to get remote desktop viewer to display the local curser?
[05:18] <MBDL> having issue with all my programs closing after update from 8.10
[05:18] <space_cadet> abhishekiitd, and are you using the 177 drivers?
[05:18] <thewizord> joe-mac: whats my course of action then?
[05:18] <space_cadet> Nithrin, what kinda file u tryin to open?
[05:18] <abhishekiitd> space_cadet:and after restart it was running great
[05:19] <abhishekiitd> space_cadet:how do i know if it was (or is) 177 drivers?
[05:19] <Nithrin> I don't need a firewall or anti-virus with Ubuntu right?
[05:19] <thewizord> joe-mac: am I looking at something that is likely beyond repair for this install?
[05:19] <space_cadet> abhishekiitd, try restarting again...
[05:19] <mib_ff80tgxe> can i get some advice for ubuntu here?
[05:19] <space_cadet> Nithrin, not usually...
[05:19] <NoobGuest> mibff80tgxe: undoubtedly
[05:19] <space_cadet> Nithrin, however, you do have to beware for the rogue commands.
[05:19] <Nithrin> Rogue commands?
[05:20] <space_cadet> Nithrin, http://ubuntuforums.org/announcement.php?f=331
[05:20] <NoobGuest> mib_ff80tgxe: undoubtedly
[05:20] <riz0n> hello has anyone ever used PowerTerm to cnonect to Ubuntu SSH?
[05:21] <mib_ff80tgxe> cool well im a windows wizz but i am trying to test out linux i mount the image onto a dvd with alcohol 120% restart my ps the ubuntu menu comes up fine i go to install it but then my screen goes blank whats the problem?
[05:21] <MBDL> when someone can help can you P/M me or write in caps
[05:21] <MBDL> thx
[05:21] <thewizord> joe-mac: the problem appears much deeper... my home folder is now gone.
[05:21] <thewizord> joe-mac: I think the machine may of been compromised... lots of stuff is now missing :\
[05:21] <space_cadet> MBDL, writing in caps is distracting to the room...
[05:22] <space_cadet> MBDL, when someone wants to speak to you, they add your name to the line like this...
[05:22] <riz0n> when i run PowerTerm and do an SSH into my server, and i establish the connection and then when I try to run apps from the server, I get an error: "Error opening terminal"
[05:22] <MBDL> space_cadet: sorry...
[05:22] <space_cadet> see how it changes colors?
[05:22] <MBDL> space_cadet: yes
[05:22] <mobi-sheep> mib_ff80tgxe: Check MD5Sum Hashes to ensure that it's same -- http://tinyurl.com/23rmgm
[05:22] <joe-mac> ouch thewizord
[05:22] <thewizord> joe-mac: or rather, I found the paart of that problem: the partitions are no longer automounting to their designated place by fstab
[05:22] <MBDL> space_cadet: when you get a chance can you help? or is there a room for the beta i can go onto
[05:22] <joe-mac> ok go to pastie.org and paste your fstab
[05:23] <space_cadet> !ubuntu+1
[05:23] <thewizord> joe-mac: my fstab looks as its supposed to
[05:23] <mobi-sheep> mib_ff80tgxe: Also, burn the ISO at much lower speed for good quality.  Burning fast could skip bits there and there. ;o
[05:23] <space_cadet> !ubuntu+1 > mbdl
[05:23] <joe-mac> then what makes you think the partitions are not getting mounted thewizord?
[05:23] <thewizord> joe-mac: they werent i had to mount it myself
[05:23] <MBDL> space_cadet: thx
[05:23] <space_cadet> mib_ff80tgxe, yah like <= 4x
[05:23] <thewizord> my ethernet device is completely missinw now as well
[05:24] <space_cadet> thewizord, ouch
[05:24] <Nithrin> Under Appearance Preferences, under the Visual Effects tab, there is an option called Extra. It won't let me use it. Why is that?
[05:24] <space_cadet> Nithrin, graphics drivers.
[05:24] <Ropechoborra> mib_ff80tgxe, before selecting "Try or install ubuntu" press f6 and delete "quiet splash --" to see what error it may appear
[05:24] <thewizord> joe-mac: on each boot more and more problems arise... now I cannot ssh, no eth0, no mounting devices
[05:24] <zeltikon> can anyone tell me how to program java under linux?
[05:24] <space_cadet> Nithrin, system > administration > hardware drivers
[05:25] <mobi-sheep> Nithrin: Your graphic card don't support it or you didn't enable the drivers.  Look System --> Admin --> Hardware
[05:25] <Nithrin> I have two NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver. I have both version 173 and 177
[05:25] <Nithrin> 177 is enabled. 173 is not
[05:25] <space_cadet> Nithrin, hmm...
[05:26] <space_cadet> mobi-sheep, could you guide nithrin to the installation to the 180 drivers for nvidia??
[05:26] <space_cadet> mobi-sheep, i forgot how to do that..
[05:27] <space_cadet> Nithrin, the 180 drivers fixed all my probs... what vid card u got?
[05:27] <aladin403> any likes a tea?
[05:27] <thewizord> joe-mac1: i think something was physically done to the machine
[05:27] <thewizord> joe-mac1: I had apache open on it for a long time which would leave a perfect window to exploits
[05:27] <mobi-sheep> space_cadet: I suppose --> sudo aptitude install nvidia-180-kernel-source
[05:27] <mrh> Hi everyone
[05:28] <space_cadet> hmmm... was it that easy..?
[05:28] <atong> watching scrubs season 4 :)
[05:28] <riz0n> what kind of terminal is used in SSH?
[05:28] <mrh> In Kmail, how do I configure it to check an email account every so often? I just cant find it
[05:28] <arooni_____> help!  i have ubuntu ibex on my thinkpad t61.  when i restarted, the networkmanager applet is not visible and thus i don't know how i can connect to a wireless network.  any ideas?
[05:29] <mobi-sheep> space_cadet: A true linux distro really has no versions. :P
[05:29] <miranda_psi> riz0n: what ever shell is set up to be used for the user that you log in as
[05:29] <zeltikon> anyone have experience with java and linux?
[05:30] <joe-mac> sorry thewizord stupid keyboard with sleep button, need my das keyboard back. waht was tghe last coupkle thinds you said
[05:30] <darthanubis> I setup a samba server with 8.10. Windows box can read and write. Ubuntu machines can not. Priviledges are all open hence the ability to read/write freely from windows machines. Anyone have any useful ideas?
[05:30] <joe-mac> zeltikon: lots of people do, shoot
[05:30] <space_cadet> Nithrin, try (if your in synaptic still) searching for and installing nvidia-glx-180   OR (if you are on a terminal) sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180
[05:30] <Nithrin> sudo aptitude install nvidia-180-kernel-source I just searched and installed that
[05:30] <thewizord> joe-mac: I said its missing lots of stuff, like ssh, automounting even though fstab is proper, drivers have now disappeared
[05:30] <space_cadet> Nithrin, then after that, reboot and make sure the 180 drivers are activated...
[05:31] <thewizord> joe-mac: it seems almost like the machine was tampered with as things disappear per boot
[05:31] <zeltikon> joe-mac, well im about to take a java class at school, and i need to know how to run the programs we will be making
[05:31] <space_cadet> zeltikon, shouldn't they teach you that in class?
[05:32] <NoobGuest> space-cadet: on a similar question my x.org intel graphics drivers do not seem to be working.  I have the latest updates and have restarted since install. Suggestions?
[05:32] <joe-mac> thewizord: you will want to boot to a rescue disk and run an fsck -y. its more likely it was fs corruption than tampered with, unmless you think one of your friends is messing with you
[05:32] <dogg> dave_support: O
[05:32] <joe-mac> zeltikon: what exactly do you mean?
[05:32] <joe-mac> you are you a cs student?
[05:32] <dave_support> dogg: can I help?
[05:32] <joe-mac> if so, you will be making largely useless programs that demonstrate the basic constructs of computing
[05:33] <zeltikon> joe-mac, yeah. but this is the first time ive really used linux.
[05:33] <illmortalize> Is there any way that I can tweak my video card via Ubuntu?
[05:33] <dogg> dave_support:  I'm having a problem with Drapes
[05:33] <space_cadet> NoobGuest, not sure, not familiar with intel's graphics drivers...
[05:33] <`brandon`> how do i switch from window's to linux using the compiz 3D box?
[05:33] <mobi-sheep> zeltikon: You are looking for this, I thunk.  --> http://tinyurl.com/dgl3m7 --> System.out.println("Good luck");
[05:33] <space_cadet> NoobGuest, the experience I have had, they work oob
[05:33] <zeltikon> yeah, the programms will be lame, i took a c++ class at school too
[05:33] <dave_support> dogg: well that is unsupported, universe repo
[05:34] <joe-mac> zeltikon: CS has little do with linux or computimng for that matter and more to do with mathematics. i don't really believe in starting off in java, but thats what most colleges do these days
[05:34] <skierKyle> Hi, i have an intel  graphics card in my laptop, and scrolling at some sites is barely useable in firefox... Its really slow and glitchie, when its fine on my nvidia desktop...
[05:34] <joe-mac> if you want to start playing aorund with it sudo apt-get sun-jre i think is the package that comes with the compiler and write a couple simple programs.
[05:34] <space_cadet> zeltikon, What I would do, is dabble in some basic, ruby, and python...
[05:35] <space_cadet> zeltikon, then move to flash mx... their actionscript is interesting...
[05:35] <thewizord> joe-mac: I'm just so damn stressed dude... this thing is my home theater pc
[05:35] <joe-mac> space_cadet: are you the 'real' space cadet?
[05:35] <zeltikon> spac_cadet, yeah, im teaching myself pything. but i need to take java for school
[05:35] <space_cadet> the real space_cadet?
[05:35] <joe-mac> thewizord: i feel ya brother. i am sort of an audiophile myself and have dealt with a lot of problems like this.
[05:35] <joe-mac> yea as pony-tail man
[05:35] <joe-mac> shuttleworthj
[05:35] <jsj0nes> zeltikon: as long as you have your environment setup correctly (ie PATH and CLASSPATH), java works the same on linux as any other os.
[05:35] <joe-mac> thewizord: how long was this going for?
[05:36] <zeltikon> joe-mac, its not really cs, its more of a computer programming degree
[05:36] <space_cadet> joe-mac, not really sure what you're askin... i am the space_cadet of  freenode and google groups.
[05:36] <darthanubis> more specifically, why would a windows machine be able to write to a share that a unix machine can not?
[05:37] <joe-mac> lol, mark shuttleworth man, the guy who funds canonical. a lot of folks call him 'space cadet'
[05:37] <space_cadet> aah
[05:37] <space_cadet> nope
[05:37] <space_cadet> not that space cadet
[05:37] <space_cadet> interesting though. I randomly chose this name...
[05:37] <joe-mac> zeltikon: well, IMO ruby is the best OO there is but it's slow as molasses
[05:38] <space_cadet> joe-mac, first time i played with ruby was in "rpg maker" in windows.
[05:38] <g4lt-lappy> space_cadet, okay, one OT and I'm done, you're not just a REALLY bad Gorf player? ;P
[05:38] <arooni_____> help!  i have ubuntu ibex on my thinkpad t61.  when i restarted, the networkmanager applet is not visible and thus i don't know how i can connect to a wireless network.  any ideas?
[05:38] <joe-mac> i'm not familiar with that, but i can tell you i am an ops engineer (sys admin) and ruby saves my life
[05:38] <g4lt-lappy> arooni_____, you can always type in nm-applet into a terminal
[05:38] <space_cadet> space_cadet, never even heard of Gorf...
[05:39] <joe-mac> python sometimes, and of course the years and years of bash, but ruby is a pretty special language
[05:39] <space_cadet> g4lt-lappy, lol i announced to myself
[05:39] <space_cadet> g4lt-lappy,  never even heard of Gorf...  so I must b really bad at it.
[05:39] <nado> arooni_____, i have a t61 also.. i highly recommend installing wicd
[05:39] <joe-mac> java is great if you want to be a programmer in general zeltikon
[05:39] <Nithrin> I restarted and got an error. (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module! Please ensure that there's a supported NVIDIA GPU in this system, and that the NVIDIA device files have been created properly. What do I do?
[05:40] <space_cadet> joe-mac, http://tkool.jp/products/rpgxp/eng/
[05:40] <joe-mac> lots of jobs for it, and you can work on big projects without masive brain explosions
[05:40] <g4lt-lappy> Nithrin, I'lll bet you have a legacy card with 180
[05:40] <Nithrin> ?
[05:40] <zeltikon> joe-mac, yeah, its decent. but i do like pythong more
[05:40] <joe-mac> thewizord: beofre you smash something, i didn't see an answer to my q if i even asked, did this ever work? if so, how long?
[05:40] <g4lt-lappy> I got that when I tried 177 on my 5200go
[05:40] <Nithrin> How do I fix my situation? I'd like to use the extra background functions or whatever.
[05:40] <space_cadet> Nithrin, really old card...
[05:40] <mrpockets> where are bookmakrs stored?
[05:41] <kplus> can anyone tell me the correct settings I need to get a pair of creative USB speakers working? They were working a day ago but I seems to have accidentally changed something
[05:41] <g4lt-lappy> you may have to downgrade versions of the driver
[05:41] <Nithrin> Not an old card! This is a new comp
[05:41] <Nithrin> Nearly new
[05:41] <space_cadet> Nithrin, go back to the 177 drivers, and .... hope you can get the extra
[05:41] <zeltikon> mobi-sheep, thanks for the link. but im in linux mint, so i dont know how to inable the multiverse repository
[05:41] <joe-mac> zeltikon: what specifically? i find python is not as 'meta' as ruby if that even makes sense... but keep in mind i am a lowly systems guy and not a dev
[05:41] <Nithrin> can you give me what to search for? heh
[05:41] <space_cadet> mrpockets, you are going to have to be a little more specific on that one...
[05:42] <mrpockets> space_cadet, using FF in Ubuntu 8.10 and my goal is to remove all of my bookmarks
[05:42] <zeltikon> joe-mac, lol, i dont know, i just find that i prefer the language itself for whatever reason
[05:42] <space_cadet> mrpockets, go to bookmarks > manage. and delete them all... :p
[05:42] <zeltikon> how do i add repositories from the command line?
[05:42] <mrpockets> can't
[05:42] <space_cadet> Nithrin, system > administration > hardware drivers > re enable the 177 drivers and disable the 180
[05:43] <space_cadet> mrpockets, y not??
[05:43] <joe-mac> i like how it forces you to indent lol, people rip on me for that but i am really big on code style. like even my bash looks really really nice
[05:43] <mrpockets> delete isnt an option
[05:43] <joe-mac> anyways, i came in here to ask about blu ray
[05:43] <space_cadet> mrpockets, sure it is, one quick press of a key...
[05:43] <joe-mac> anybody know about blu ray?
[05:43] <lockd> joe-mac: you want to use jigdoo to make a blu-ray package disc?
[05:43] <space_cadet> joe-mac, they hold up to 50 gigs per side?
[05:44] <space_cadet> lol
[05:44] <_law_> mrpockets, just select all the bookmarks n hit delete
[05:44] <g4lt-lappy> space_cadet, "per-side".  typically all optical media is one-sided
[05:44] <space_cadet> mrpockets, if you are referring to the file that the bookmarks are kept in, so you can *move* it...
[05:44] <mrpockets> nah i got 'em
[05:44] <mrpockets> thanks anyway
[05:44] <jaldhar> hello.  my wireless card uses ath9k driver.  I find I can connect to my netgear router with 802.11g but not with 802.11n is there something I need to do to enable this?
[05:45] <jaldhar> kubuntu 8.10 btw
[05:45] <space_cadet> g4lt-lappy, well I have dual sided cd's dvd's and im sure they make ds blueray...
[05:45] <joe-mac> no lockd like i had mentioned i mostly do systems/ops work so i am kind of ignorant on desktop hardware, wondering what a good blu ray burner would be, how fast the fastest is, can videos be played on linux etc
[05:45] <dave_support> dogg: good night
[05:46] <space_cadet> joe-mac, ps3
[05:46] <lockd> joe-mac: you can only play videos if you can decrypt the data
[05:46] <space_cadet> aah burner...
[05:46] <space_cadet> nvm
[05:46] <joe-mac> i have a few TB of data and it's raided and all but some i'd like to get back on optical and send to iron mountain or something
[05:46] <joe-mac> space_cadet: i was thinking more like an internal 5.25. lockd: how hard is decrypting the data?
[05:47] <joe-mac> the google machine seemed to have scarce information on the topic
[05:47] <alpha232> USB Serial issue, using Prolific driver, I can connect to the port using 'cu' but i'm not getting any data, i can connect on my vista machine fine using same usb serial cable and device.
[05:47] <g4lt-lappy> joe-mac, OUCH.  well, get a DVD robot and hope they make a blu-ray one soon
[05:47] <space_cadet> joe-mac, http://tkool.jp/products/rpgxp/eng/
[05:47] <space_cadet> arrgh...
[05:47] <space_cadet> joe-mac   try this one....   lol   http://forums.macnn.com/57/consumer-hardware-and-components/358534/blu-ray-burner-whats-best-one/
[05:47] <joe-mac> lol g4lt-lappy i used to use a crap ton of ultrium tapes
[05:47] <landanimal> so i downloaded an executable that is claime to work on many version of ubuntu, and when i double click it in nautilus it says "There is no application for this file type."
[05:48] <thewizord> joe-mac: so I heard this actually may be related to my kernel version
[05:48] <space_cadet> landanimal, what type of file is it?
[05:48] <g4lt-lappy> joe-mac, hmm, maybe HP has a blu-ray robot by now
[05:48] <joe-mac> thewizord: entirely possible
[05:48] <landanimal> space_cadet: it has no extension and it's suppose to be an executeable i think, it's the Regnum Online installer
[05:48] <joe-mac> i just noticed the P for proprietary taint and i used to support a lot of linux machines and tell them to modprobe -r that before going any further
[05:49] <thewizord> joe-mac: I'm running updates now, very very VERY outdated box
[05:49] <space_cadet> landanimal, right click > properties >permissions > check "execute"
[05:49] <thewizord> joe-mac: I'm gonna then hook it up to the TV and start a video and leave it running
[05:49] <joe-mac> k, hopefully that fixes it dude
[05:49] <landanimal> lol!, thanks space_cadet
[05:49] <landanimal> i'm a newb
[05:49] <space_cadet> we all once were... :)
[05:49] <kplus> does anyone know what settings i need to get a pair of creative USB speakers working properly?
[05:49] <abhishekb> space_cadet:after restarting the resolution is fine but istill cant find my nvidia in hardware bdrivers, nor can i run compfiz
[05:50] <joe-mac> the machine i am on is a quad core weith 6 gb of ram that i used specifically for watching dvds and tv via windows MCE and i got sick of using my X300 for linux so i sold it and put linux on this. now i can't ghet any of the media functionality to work properly
[05:50] <joe-mac> it was way too overkill to just watch tv
[05:50] <joe-mac> and i have this like stupidly huge music collection (i am a deadhead) and i can't for the life of me get hdmi audio to work, annoying
[05:51] <g4lt-lappy> joe-mac, medibuntu or mythtv would be where I'd look
[05:51] <thewizord> joe-mac: these kinds of problems are why all my othre boxes are arch now :(
[05:51] <joe-mac> g4lt-lappy: yea i bet those would work out of the box but i'd rather start with stock ubuntu cause i also need to use vmware worksation and do my puppeteering and coding on something now that i sold the x300
[05:51] <thewizord> joe-mac: ubuntu shouldn't be this plagued with problems, but it always has been for me. I'm trying to resolve this one though
[05:51] <lockd> joe-mac: media should work with all of the gstreamer codecs (good, bad, ugly) installed
[05:52] <joe-mac> lockd: codecs aren't the issue
[05:52] <lockd> so it's the hardware support?
[05:52] <joe-mac> the issue with hdmi audio is alsa->my nvidia card
[05:52] <joe-mac> i can watch all my ahem, uh videos
[05:52] <g4lt-lappy> joe-mac, what abou3front/OSS?
[05:52] <lockd> joe-mac: have you tried oss4?
[05:52] <joe-mac> anbd listen to my music
[05:52] <lockd> 4front?
[05:52] <bob__> I need some advise, I am trying to print covers for DVD case. No mater what I do it won't print BIG enough. It needs to print 11" wide. Any ideas??
[05:53] <joe-mac> i can even watch video through hdmi. lockd, not familiar
[05:53] <joe-mac> audio through analog is perfect, just not through hdmi
[05:53] <abhishekb> hey anyone please help...i cant find my nvidia in system>administration>hardware drivers...i cant run beryl, whereas i get proper resolution
[05:53] <joe-mac> luckily my hoiuse wasr obbed so my speakers are gone anyways LOL
[05:54] <space_cadet> abhishekb, never heard compiz referred to as compfiz before... kinda like it... anyway  pastebin the output of this...   sudo lshw |grep -A9 VGA
[05:54] <joe-mac> i used to have this cute little hp miniature htpc thing that worked great through my awesome sony receiver that could just totally shake down the block

[05:55] <space_cadet> !pastebin
[05:56] <sammyF> hey there. where can I set the default gnome setup for new users? I checked /etc/default/useradd and /etc/skel but those don't seem to hold the answer :/c
[05:56] <abhishekb> space_cadet:http://paste.ubuntu.com/141173/
[05:56] <space_cadet> lol..
[05:56] <joe-mac> space_cadet: yea the slimline series
[05:57] <space_cadet> k abhishekb change the 9 in the last command i gave you to a 10
[05:57] <joe-mac> pretty sleek little turnkey htpc's IMO
[05:57] <space_cadet> abhishekb, and do the same
[05:57] <joe-mac> lockd: page looks nice and sketch
[05:57] <joe-mac> reminds me of the late 90s
[05:57] <joe-mac> the homepage itself looks a lot better though
[05:58] <abhishekb> space_cadet:http://paste.ubuntu.com/141174/
[05:58] <lockd> joe-mac: no guarantees that it'll work any better
[05:58] <bob__> I need some advise, I am trying to print covers for DVD case. No mater what I do it won't print BIG enough. It needs to print 11" wide. Any ideas??
[05:58] <lockd> or at all
[05:58] <w2_> .hi.............................. bolek knlan gak....
[05:58] <space_cadet> you don't have the nvidia drivers installed at all..
[05:59] <abhishekb> space_cadet:but it was running fine even yesterday!
[05:59] <abhishekb> space_cadet:anyway what can i do now?
[06:00] <space_cadet> abhishekb, pastebin your gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:00] <Nithrin> Is Ubuntu more efficient at making my battery last longer?
[06:00] <space_cadet> hmmm... that is an interesting question Nithrin
[06:01] <space_cadet> that I don't know the answer to :p
[06:01] <abhishekb> space_cadet:well that file is empty!
[06:01] <space_cadet> really.
[06:01] <Nithrin> I guess I could do the tried and true method of getting out a stopwatch and testing it
[06:01] <space_cadet> hmm.
[06:01] <joe-mac> Nithrin: if compiz is on, i doubt it
[06:01] <space_cadet> abhishekb, that may be your problem right there..
[06:01] <Anusien> Nithrin: It might be easier to just monitor processor charge on idle state
[06:02] <Anusien> Or at least that sounds smart, so I'm going with it
[06:02] <abhishekb> space_cadet:ok...is it solve-able?
[06:02] <scunizi> bob__: get some legal sized paper.. it's 14" long
[06:02] <space_cadet> abhishekb, you did do a capital X?
[06:02] <space_cadet> in X11
[06:02] <g4lt-lappy> Nithrin, well, you can pit up the battery applet and use its estimates
[06:02] <Anusien> *thinks* wait, no.  The only reason it could be true is if one OS is more efficient than the other, and it's hard to perform exactly the same tasks the same way to check
[06:02] <abhishekb> space_cadet:yes
[06:03] <space_cadet> abhishekb, well then check to see if the /etc/X11 directory exists.
[06:03] <bob__> scunizi: That easy? Just bigger paper? HAve you done this?
[06:04] <scunizi> bob__: I don't know what you're using to make the labels.. but you'll also have to tell your printer setup that you're using legal instead of letter paper
[06:04] <bob__> scunizi: Wow if thats all there is to it. I though for sure I would have to install some spcl printing program
[06:05] <abhishekb> space_cadet:i am sorry i was making a typing error, that file does exist and here goes the past:http://paste.ubuntu.com/141176/
[06:05] <scunizi> bob__: what you're running up against is the printers limitation to print right to the edge of the paper.. there's typically a 1/3" barrier around all the edges.
[06:06] <bob__> scunizi: Cool I will get some paper tommorow and give it a try.
[06:06] <bob__> scunizi: Thanks
[06:06] <scunizi> bob__: np
[06:06] <space_cadet> abhishekb, ok... we have a start.
[06:06] <space_men> hi
[06:07] <abhishekb> space_cadet:so how did my card get uninstalled?
[06:07] <space_cadet> GUYS    abhishekb has a video problem... his xorg.conf looks like this..  http://paste.ubuntu.com/141176/ and his lshw looks like this... http://paste.ubuntu.com/141173/
[06:08] <space_cadet> abhishekb, you are using the 'vesa' drivers... why?  i have no clue...
[06:08] <MrSunshine> how can i dump the files a package contains so i can see where the heck the files are? :)
[06:08] <abhishekb> space_cadet:i realy have no clue why it shows vesa over there..i dont know what is that, frankly!
[06:08] <space_cadet> abhishekb vesa is the generic driver.
[06:09] <space_cadet> abhishekb, i would say... open synaptic package manager, search for and install nvidia-glx-177
[06:09] <space_cadet> abhishekb, if it's already installed, mark for reinstallation...
[06:09] <abhishekb> space_cadet:but how do i know it is the correct driver?
[06:10] <space_cadet> abhishekb, well. either it is, and it works, or it isnt, and then you either have to install the 180 or the 173
[06:11] <amh> VLC player gets choppy as hell when i go fullscreen on my external 42 inch tv.  CPU goes to 95-100%.  Are there any optimization tricks i can do?
[06:11] <abhishekb> space_cadet:well mine is NVIDIa 9200 gs
[06:11] <space_cadet> abhishekb, then try the 180
[06:12] <space_cadet> abhishekb,  i have the 9600 gsm
[06:12] <space_cadet> abhishekb, the 177 gave me problems.
[06:12] <abhishekb> space_cadet:ok
[06:12] <space_cadet> going 4 smoke.
[06:12] <space_cadet> b bak
[06:13] <abhishekb> space_cadet:hey i cant search for it, it shows no ressults
[06:13] <Nithrin> Anyone have any advice for getting my Extra! visual features to work or whatever?
[06:13] <space_cadet> nvidia-glx-180 ?
[06:13] <abhishekb> yah
[06:14] <jumpcn> 有中国人吗？
[06:14] <space_cadet> you have an internet connection?
[06:14] <space_cadet> !jp
[06:14] <sophia> Can anyone tell me how to implement a benchmark for our application?
[06:14] <abhishekb> of course..
[06:14] <space_cadet> hmm
[06:14] <sophia> Any good site?
[06:14] <BlackCoffee> BTW.i have a weird driver Nvidia MX 400,but it works good.it says version 96
[06:14] <space_cadet> wow
[06:14] <Nithrin> I had to go with 177 over 180
[06:14] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, that's really old.
[06:14] <BlackCoffee> i know
[06:15] <space_cadet> BlackCoffee, i have one of those.... is it agp?
[06:15] <space_cadet> 64 mb ?
[06:15] <BlackCoffee> 64
[06:15] <BlackCoffee> yea
[06:15] <Nithrin> I cannot enable extra visual features. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
[06:15] <abhishekb> space_cadet:if i search for only nvidia i get some results
[06:15] <BlackCoffee> i bought it new,loooooong time ago
[06:16] <BlackCoffee> but it does work fine on ubuntu
[06:16] <darthanubis> Why would a windows machine be able to write to a linux hosted samba share, that a unix machine can not write to?
[06:16] <BlackCoffee> on windows it did work too,but only when i was using a box desktop
[06:16] <abhishekb> space_cadet:nvidia-glx-new
[06:16] <space_cadet> hmm..
[06:16] <abhishekb> space_cadet:nvidia-glx-new is installed, version 169.12
[06:17] <scunizi> darthanubis: the machine that doesn't have access might not have samba installed?
[06:17] <space_cadet> abhishekb, uname -r  ?
[06:17] <darthanubis> might not have samba installed...lol
[06:17] <darthanubis> the machine has access and is using the same user
[06:17] <space_cadet> abhishekb, in terminal ^^
[06:17] <abhishekb> space_cadet:http://paste.ubuntu.com/141176/
[06:18] <abhishekb> space_cadet:sorry
[06:18] <abhishekb> space_cadet:2.6.24-23-generic
[06:18] <space_cadet> hardy?
[06:18] <scunizi> darthanubis: you say that linux machine A is accessable from windows machine B but isn't from linux machine c.. does machine C have samba installed?
[06:19] <space_cadet> abhishekb, hardy heron or intrepid?
[06:19] <abhishekb> space_cadet:how do i know?
[06:19] <darthanubis> scunizi, yes
[06:19] <abhishekb> space_cadet:its 8.04
[06:19] <space_cadet> abhishekb    aaha.
[06:19] <space_cadet> hardy heron
[06:19] <space_men> O.O
[06:20] <space_cadet> my suggestion?   download the intrepid (8.10) iso
[06:20] <space_cadet> space_men, what's up man
[06:20] <space_cadet> abhishekb, do a clean install of 8.10
[06:20] <abhishekb> space_cadet:but my nvidia was running pretty fine on this...
[06:20] <space_cadet> abhishekb, using the 169 (really old) drivers... yes..
[06:21] <Nithrin> Why won't my Extra! visual effects work!
[06:21] <abhishekb> space_cadet:how is .10 better than .04 in terms of driver installtion?
[06:21] <space_cadet> well.
[06:21] <space_cadet> that would be a question better answered by the devs
[06:21] <space_cadet> or someone other than me...
[06:21] <Nithrin> Are the devs ever in here?
[06:21] <darthanubis> lol
[06:21] <space_cadet> lol
[06:22] <space_cadet> !devs
[06:22] <abhishekb> space_cadet:ok now tell me, suppose i install 8.10, how will i then install nvidia?just by going to hardware drivers, disabling, and enabling?
[06:22] <Nithrin> !devs
[06:22] <Nithrin> lol free_loader nice name
[06:22] <space_cadet> abhishekb, well the 177 drivers work (i use that term loosley)  with the 9000 series oob
[06:23] <abhishekb> space_cadet:ok now tell me, suppose i install 8.10, how will i then install nvidia?just by going to hardware drivers, disabling, and enabling?--------so this is not the method to install nvidia?
[06:23] <space_cadet> abhishekb, to install the 180 drivers it is as simple as sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180
[06:23] <abhishekb> space_cadet:ok
[06:23] <ajmurmann> For me the 180 drivers never work
[06:23] <space_cadet> for me they work perfect
[06:23] <space_cadet> 9600gsm
[06:23] <illmortalize> does anyone know if there's a video gpu/memory oc tool for ubuntu?...
[06:24] <space_cadet> overclock?
[06:24] <ajmurmann> I had to get back to the 170s with my 9800GT
[06:24] <illmortalize> yes space_cadet
[06:24] <space_cadet> hmm
[06:24] <space_cadet> illmortalize, nope (i don't know)
[06:24] <illmortalize> I have an nvidia geforce gtx200
[06:24] <space_cadet> mmm gtx
[06:24] <illmortalize> damn.. ok
[06:24] <space_cadet> wish
[06:24] <space_cadet> i wish
[06:24] <abhishekb> space_cadet:hey i just did sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 on 8.04 ...it aint working
[06:24] <Ned__> how do I know when I'm done downloading on torrent? it doesn't say how much time left for download any more...does that mean it's done?
[06:24] <space_cadet> abhishekb, like i said... " in 810"
[06:24] <illmortalize> ill be honest with you.. i would have rather went with the 4850x2 than the gtx260*
[06:25] <space_cadet> illmortalize, well.. "gsm" kinda limited me
[06:25] <abhishekb> space_cadet:is it for 8.10  only?
[06:25] <illmortalize> ha
[06:25] <space_cadet> illmortalize, asus m70vm-x1 here
[06:25] <scunizi> abhishekb: you need to list the medibuntu repository to get it ... since it's non-free the ubuntu repos won't have it
[06:25] <illmortalize> nice....
[06:25] <scunizi> yet
[06:25] <space_cadet> illmortalize, aka portable desktop
[06:25] <zaccour> are the custom themes online as fast as the default themes?
[06:26] <illmortalize> ah ok lol
[06:26] <space_cadet> aaanyway...
[06:26] <abhishekb> scuniza:well, ubuntu does have drivers, cz i had downloaded and installed it through hardware drivers, in system>admini\stration..
[06:26] <space_cadet> im going to go for that smoke i rolled about a half an hour ago..
[06:27] <Nithrin> No ya won't...yer addicted to this chat room and u know it
[06:27] <scunizi> yes the 173 & 177.. for hardy.. to get 180 for hardy you'll need the medibuntu repo..
[06:27] <Nithrin> :P
[06:27] <Ned__> anyone know how I can tell when transmission is finished with torrent?
[06:27] <sn00p-> how do I find my wlan0 mac addreess in ubuntu?
[06:27] <space_men> ok .0
[06:28] <abhishekb> scunizi:so can i use medibuntu repo to install 180 on my 8.04?
[06:28] <abhishekb> scunizi:if yes, how?
[06:28] <ron2010> help... i trying to setup bluetooth with a usb dongle
[06:28] <free_loader> Nithrin: aren't we all free loaders? :P
[06:28] <ron2010> i have logitech v470 and kensingston usb dongle
[06:28] <bobbie4> I love the Ubuntu
[06:28] <scunizi> abhishekb: you should be able to. it's the preferred way.. if they don't have it you have to manually install from an Nvidia download and that has to be done correctly or you mess things up
[06:28] <sn00p-> how do I find my wlan0 mac addreess in ubuntu?
[06:29] <abhishekb> scunizi:but tell me how to install?
[06:29] <ron2010> it worked fine before but after updating manager... it hasnt work at all
[06:29] <scunizi> sn00p-: iwconfig
[06:29] <ron2010> any suggestions???
[06:29] <lockd> ron2010: does that default to HID mode? not quite sure
[06:29] <ron2010> lockd: i'
[06:29] <ron2010> i'm not sure
[06:29] <ron2010> how do i figure that out?
[06:29] <sn00p-> scunizi, I dont want my wireless router mac address my wireless network card in my laptop
[06:30] <scunizi> abhishekb: there are instructions on the nvidia site.. and also in the forums.. sorry it would take a while and I don't have time to go through all the steps.
[06:30] <abhishekb> scunizi:ok but my drivers were running fine over the last week..so any idea how did it screw itself ?
[06:31] <lockd> ron2010: dmesg | grep Bluetooth ... pastebin that
[06:31] <ron2010> when i hcitool scan it recognize my bluetooth with mac address
[06:31] <abhishekb> scunizi:i dont know if it was 177 or 180 but it was working great with beryl and all
[06:31] <lockd> ron2010: hmm, I think that is HCI mode, which I doubt works with mice
[06:31] <space_cadet> Ned__, it pops up in the bottom right saying it's done?
[06:31] <zaccour> are the custom themes online as fast as the default themes?
[06:31] <ron2010> it worked fine before
[06:32] <space_cadet> Ned__, or you look at transmission, and it tells you it's 100%
[06:32] <ron2010> but after i update package it didnt work
[06:32] <scunizi> abhishekb: I have no idea how they got kafutzed... by beryl I hope you mean compiz.. beryl is depreciated..
[06:32] <space_cadet> very depreciated
[06:32] <lockd> ron2010: oh, then you will probably have to revert the packages
[06:33] <lockd> ron2010: things break a lot in unstable
[06:33] <abhishekb> scunizi:i dont know if it was 177 or 180 but it was working great with beryl and all
[06:33] <abhishekb> scunizi:ok, so is this problem common?nvidia screwing itself?
[06:33] <ron2010> how would i revert it... there were at least 236 package it updated
[06:33] <scunizi> abhishekb: nope..
[06:33] <Ned__> space_cadet, I don't see any of that. Maybe it said it was done when it was finished and I wasn't there?
[06:34] <space_cadet> Ned__, in transmission you see the torrent right?
[06:34] <Ned__> I'm thinking maybe I'm supposed to click on something
[06:34] <lockd> ron2010: is it just not working, or is bluetoothd crashing left and right?
[06:34] <zaccour> are the custom themes online as fast as the default themes?
[06:34] <ron2010> not working at all
[06:34] <Ned__> umm well it says "1 Torrent"...
[06:34] <canuck1> anyone here have experience with tvtuners in linux? I can get my to work with tvtime, except no sound :(
[06:34] <lockd> zaccour: it's unlikely that themes will affect speed that much
[06:34] <scunizi> zaccour: there's no way for anyone to answer that question
[06:35] <space_cadet> Ned__, click "all"
[06:35] <Ned__> ok
[06:35] <space_cadet> Ned__, it will say xx MB of xx MB (xx%)
[06:35] <NoobGuest> ugh, I need help getting the x.org intel graphics drivers to work correctly: i.e. resolution etc.
[06:35] <lockd> ron2010: have you tried something like this: http://idebian.wordpress.com/2008/07/06/manage-hid-bluetooth-devices-in-linux/
[06:35] <ron2010> strange b/c when i type "hcitool scan" in terminal i get the follow results "00:07:61:96:6E:CF	Bluetooth Laser Travel Mouse"
[06:36] <bobbie4> I love the Ubuntu
[06:36] <Ned__> ok I clicked on All...I think it was already on All because nothing changed. it says some things but doesn't say how many mb of how many mb
[06:36] <lockd> ron2010: the red pill instructions, that is. or let me see if I can find the HID/HCI switcher
[06:37] <kplus> Can anyone help me get a set of USB speakers working? PulseAudio shows that the speakers are working but I cant hear any sound. The speakers were working fine last night, I'm not sure what went wrong. Help please?
[06:37] <Ned__> it says 2.5 GB, loaded 13.4 GB (Ratio: 5.24)
[06:37] <space_cadet> NoobGuest, hardy or intrepid?
[06:37] <NoobGuest> space_cadet: 8.10
[06:38] <q_> хай всем
[06:38] <NoobGuest> space_cadet:new install; already download all pertinent updates including x.org for intel.
[06:38] <scunizi> kplus: double click the speaker icon and in the window that opens click properties in the lower right.. add the *front* and the *side*  sliders are activated for viewing then slide them up. you may have to do that again after a reboot.. also someone got theirs working with the headphone slider.. weirdness.
[06:38] <space_cadet> NoobGuest, thinkpad?
[06:38] <lockd> ron2010: try hid2hci
[06:39] <space_cadet> Ned__, do you see the torrents?
[06:39] <ron2010> what do you meain by try hid2chi
[06:39] <ron2010> type that in the terminal?
[06:39] <Ned__> can I assume download is done since it doesn't say how much time is left any more, like it did for a long time?
[06:39] <space_cadet> Ned__, do you see the torrent?
[06:40] <lockd> ron2010: hid2hci --tohid
[06:40] <scunizi> Ned__: transmissions line goes from red to green after a full download..
[06:40] <Flannel> Ned__: yes.
[06:40] <NoobGuest> space_cadet: dell desktop dimension 2400 with "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)"
[06:40] <Ned__> space_cadet, I see the DVD iso and the interim text
[06:40] <Ned__> in the folder
[06:41] <Ned__> scunizi, the line looks orange to me...I don't remember what color it was before tho
[06:41] <space_cadet> Ned__, in transmission is the torrent there?
[06:41] <kplus> @scunizi: I dont see any *front* or *side* sliders. where would they be exactly?
[06:41] <ron2010> when i type hid2chi in the terminal i get the following response "No devices in HID mode found"
[06:41] <lockd> ron2010: what happens when you type hid2hci --tohid
[06:42] <ron2010> i got the following "Switching device 0a12:0001 to HID mode failed (Operation not permitted)"
[06:42] <Ned__> space cadet, I guess so...it has the name of what I'm downloading...is that it?
[06:42] <scunizi> kplus: after clicking properties you should be able to put checkmarks next to other items to display on the main control window for the audio. if you're on 8.10 there should be front and side choices.. on hardy 8.04 you won't see them.
[06:43] <space_cadet> NoobGuest, this was found...  http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081204201509AAERoWO
[06:43] <kplus> do you mean preferences?
[06:43] <lockd> ron2010: try sudo
[06:44] <scunizi> kplus: yes
[06:44] <scunizi> kplus: sorry for the name mixup
[06:44] <kplus> the only option i see is "master:recording" and it's already checked
[06:44] <mhiku> how to enable port 587 for sending postfix?
[06:45] <kplus> scunizi: not a worry, im just glad to have the help
[06:45] <scunizi> kplus: are you on 8.10?
[06:45] <lockd> ron2010: HID mode simplifies the interface, making it appear as a standard USB keyboard or mouse
[06:45] <kplus> yes i am
[06:45] <ron2010> this time "Switching device 0a12:0001 to HID mode failed (Broken pipe)"  when i type "sudo hid2hci --tohid"
[06:45] <scunizi> kplus: hang on .. I'll vnc into my 8.10 box and look
[06:45] <lockd> ron2010: maybe that dongle doesn't have that support, though
[06:45] <kplus> ok, thanks
[06:46] <ron2010> it worked fine previously though
[06:46] <bobbie4> Ubuntu works good for me
[06:46] <ron2010> i don't know what update i did that cause it not to work
[06:46] <scunizi> kplus: looks like I don't have the connections setup .. sorry
[06:46] <ron2010> omg!!!
[06:46] <JustKemp> boo hoo poor kemp got banned from off-topic
[06:46] <ron2010> it's working
[06:46] <ron2010> i don't know what i did

[06:47] <space_cadet> Ned__, that's what I see
[06:47] <scunizi> kplus: you should have a front even on hardy.. under edit/preferences?
[06:47] <Ned__> in the Transmission it still says 'Seeding to xx of xx connected peers'...like it did from beginning
[06:48] <JustKemp> why dont people like me?

[06:48] <golden-koi> i am running PPC ubuntu - looking for PPC version of peerguardian
[06:48] <JustKemp> unless i want to get banned
[06:49] <kplus> @ scunizi: I think i do, but i have about 8 different devices to chose from under preferences
[06:49] <scunizi> kplus: just look for front and side
[06:49] <mobi-sheep> Could somebody tell me what the Blue (i) is for?  Information?  Look under Bluetooth Preferences.  Assuming you had a bluetooth device to play with in first place (mouse).
[06:49] <DaemonLee> Question, I have a Desktop machine, and I was wondering how to get ubuntu to place output on the S-Video instead of the VGA? I do have a S-Video Cord running from my tower to my TV. It does show bootup on both monitor and TV screen. When login occurs, TV is alternating colors and pixelated. No "good" image.
[06:50] <golden-koi> can i compile a ppc version?
[06:50] <DaemonLee> mobi-sheep, the Blue I represents information/help.
[06:50] <Flannel> !ppc | golden-koi
[06:50] <benkamin> i can't manage to get remote desktop to work here through router, can anybody help? i have set up port forwarding, but it says "connection to host X was lost"
[06:51] <Flannel> golden-koi: oh.  Peer guardian (note, this is why you should ask your questions all on one line).  You probably could if it's open source, yes.
[06:51] <space_cadet> benkamin, what are you trying to remote?
[06:51] <kplus> Scunizi: I see slide bars for *front* but not *side* when I select HDA Intel (alsa mixer) as the device.
[06:51] <scunizi> kplus: Ah!.. k.. do you have HDA in the machine?
[06:51] <benkamin> space_cadet, i'm trying to set up remote desktop sharing to be able to provide tech support to a user here
[06:51] <golden-koi> tx flannel - thats the best part
[06:51] <ghang>  hi , i would like to know , how can i mount my ISO file or *folder to become a CDROM Drive
[06:51] <space_cadet> benkamin, what os are you trying to remote?
[06:51] <benkamin> ubuntu
[06:52] <mobi-sheep> !mount > ghang
[06:52] <mobi-sheep> !mount
[06:52] <mobi-sheep> Meh.  That's not it.
[06:52] <Flannel> !iso | ghang
[06:52] <kplus> im not sure, I dont know what that Is...sorry.
[06:52] <mobi-sheep> Flannel: Thanks. :P
[06:52] <ghang> ok
[06:52] <Ned__> space_cadet oh I see, well that image looks to me like its not done because it says 40.86%. On mine, it showed the % for a long time then I went away and came back and the % isn't there any more so it looks like its done but it doesnt say so so I don't know
[06:52] <kplus> like i said though, the speakers worked last night
[06:52] <przemek_> Hi
[06:52] <Flannel> mobi-sheep: If you're unsure, verify with ubottu in a query first.
[06:52] <przemek_> how are you?
[06:52] <benkamin> space_cadet, i try to use the ubuntu remote desktop sharing
[06:53] <space_cadet> benkamin, try terminal services
[06:53] <scunizi> kplus: change to the hda side.. that's like hdmi sort of.. digital audio capability.. and set the front to show then turn that slider up
[06:53] <space_cadet> *terminal server...
[06:53] <bobbie4> ALL HAIL SenzEnina
[06:53] <benkamin> space_cadet, can you please explain?
[06:53] <kplus> the hda side? what do you mean?
[06:54] <Flannel> bobbie4: Please keep offtopic chatter to a minimum.
[06:54] <space_cadet> benkamin, application > internet >terminal server client
[06:54] <scunizi> kplus: choose the hda default you mentioned previously.
[06:54] <johninlex> does anyone know how to get around  /sbin/getty/ error
[06:54] <kplus> done, all the sliders are up as high as they'll go
[06:55] <space_cadet> why doesn't ubottu know anything about terminal server client?
[06:55] <tehbaut> How do I force a drive that was uncleanly shut down to mount?
[06:55] <scunizi> kplus: anything?
[06:55] <space_cadet> tehbaut read the more info?
[06:55] <space_cadet> details?
[06:55] <bobbie4> Flannel:  sorry, wrong command in another server. Didn't realize that '/amsg' worked across servers
[06:55] <tehbaut> Where's that?
[06:55] <sn00p-> can someone tell me how do i get wlan0 to use channel 1?
[06:55] <johninlex> tehbaut, did you eject it from windows
[06:56] <kplus> nothing..
[06:56] <benkamin> space_cadet, thanks :-) , i'm trying to learn about this now
[06:56] <johninlex> tehbaut, or did you just pull it out
[06:56] <space_cadet> benkamin, did you have better luck?
[06:56] <Ned__> '/amsg' works across servers? I didn't know that
[06:56] <space_cadet> johninlex, i'm thinking the drive IS windows... lol
[06:56] <ghang>  i have a mount point but how to make it become a drive but not a folder ?         hi , i would like to know , how can i mount my ISO file or *folder to become a CDROM Drive
[06:56] <johninlex> I am to space_cadet
[06:56] <tehbaut> johninlex: Windows crashed and the drive has too little freespace to reboot
[06:56] <benkamin> space_cadet, not yet, trying to understand it, i haven't used it before, only the remote desktop
[06:57] <lockd> ghang: sudo mount -o loop <file> <mountpoint>
[06:57] <johninlex> well you need to remount it in windows before you will be able to get info from it
[06:57] <johninlex> tehbaut,
[06:57] <ManInTheIronMask> hi all
[06:57] <ManInTheIronMask> any1 know how to mount floppy disk?
[06:57] <space_cadet> benkamin, well... i tried using the remote desktop to see my xp machine, but with no luck... in terminal server however... lots of luck, just thought you may have to use the same thing.
[06:57] <ghang>  mount -t iso9660 -o loop debian-500-amd64-DVD-5.iso /mnt/iso5
[06:58] <tehbaut> Well when I tried to mount in ubuntu it said there was a way to force it to mount
[06:58] <zaccour> how do i change my fonts?
[06:58] <ghang> i would like to mount it as a cdrom drive so that apt-get can detect it
[06:58] <space_cadet> tehbaut, try that command you were told, but with sudo before it...
[06:58] <tehbaut> It didn't give the cms
[06:58] <johninlex> tehbaut, you can try it in gparted from a tty
[06:58] <chaitan3> tehbaut, try adding -o force to the mount command
[06:58] <tehbaut> Cms
[06:58] <space_cadet> also you are going to have to sudo md /media/foldertomountto
[06:59] <benkamin> space_cadet, thx, but  i'm still trying to understand how to use it.
[06:59] <johninlex> Ok my turn my turn my turn, any way to get around  /sbin/getty/
[06:59] <kplus> @ Scunizi: I'm going to restart with the changes you suggested, hopefully that'll do something
[06:59] <space_cadet> !tsclient
[07:00] <space_cadet> benkamin terminal this:  man tsclient
[07:00] <space_cadet> benkamin to quit press 'q'
[07:00] <benkamin> space_cadet, when both os are ubuntu, is it still useful to use this?
[07:00] <zaccour> i have a custom font i wanna use, how do i set it?
[07:00] <space_cadet> benkamin, not sure..
[07:01] <DaemonLee> mobi-sheep, the Blue I represents information/help.
[07:01] <DaemonLee> Question, I have a Desktop machine, and I was wondering how to get ubuntu to place output on the S-Video instead of the VGA? I do have a S-Video Cord running from my tower to my TV. It does show bootup on both monitor and TV screen. When login occurs, TV is alternating colors and pixelated. No "good" image.
[07:01] <space_cadet> benkamin, Terminal Server Client (tsclient) lets you connect to remote desktops using many different protocols. It has support for specific connection options including color depth, screen size, and motion blocking.
[07:01] <tehbaut> So the cmd to force mount is: mount -o /dev/sda
[07:01] <benkamin> space_cadet, thx, i'll give it a try
[07:01] <chaitan3> tehbaut, sudo mount -o force /dev/sdaN /media/folder
[07:02] <tehbaut> Ok
[07:02] <space_cadet> tehbaut, ^^ after sudo md /media/folder
[07:02] <space_cadet> folder being the name of the folder you want to create the mount at
[07:02] <space_cadet> replace md with mkdir
[07:02] <benkamin> space_cadet, for some reason the VNC protocol is disabled and can't be selected...
[07:02]  * space_cadet is stuck in windows.
[07:02] <tehbaut> Remind me what md does?
[07:03] <chaitan3> space_cadet, lol
[07:03] <space_cadet> tehbaut, mkdir
[07:03] <tehbaut> Oh... Mkdir
[07:03] <thewizord> so ubuntu really did totally just poop on me
[07:04] <tehbaut> So creating a new folder does what? Will I be able to read the rest of the contents?
[07:05] <space_cadet> tehbaut, creating a new folder allows you to mount the /dev/sdx  at /media/folder_you_created
[07:05] <space_cadet> if you don't create the mountpoint, you cant mount.
[07:06] <chaitan3> tehbaut, what's thw partition type?
[07:06] <NoobGuest> space_cadet: i followed up on that link but think I may need to refresh my xorg.conf file following editing. Should I do this and how do I do so without logging out/restarting?
[07:06] <tehbaut> ntfs :/
[07:06] <ShinyHat> can anyone here help me tether a blackberry?
[07:06] <space_cadet> benkamin, sudo apt-get install xtightvncviewer
[07:07] <benkamin> thx
[07:07] <space_cadet> benkamin, then try vnc in terminal service client
[07:07] <tehbaut> Just want to be sure I don't lose any data
[07:07] <space_cadet> NoobGuest, well you have to kill x to reload it...
[07:07] <tehbaut> Especially with only 24mb of space left

[07:10] <p1oooop> hi

[07:10] <AussieGuy> thats all screen resolution is giving me
[07:10] <p1oooop> anyone know how to restart apache?
[07:10] <space_cadet> are there files/folders in the users folder?
[07:10] <tehbaut> Could I just mount it at root?
[07:10] <tehbaut> Yes
[07:11] <space_cadet> just sudo mkdir /media/vista
[07:11] <bolt> will doing "dpkg --get-selections > foo" on machine a, and then "dpkg --set-selections < foo" on machine b cause packages that previously existed _only_ on machine b to be uninstalled when I run "apt-get dselect-upgrade"? if not, how can I get them to be? I want to completely mirror the install I have on a, without retaining any extra packages on b.

[07:12] <tehbaut> Ah so /media/ is root, or?
[07:12] <benkamin1> still no luck with remote desktop connection... i'm afraid there might be a problem with the port forwarding..? but i don't know how to check it. it works perfect in internal network, but not through external ip

[07:13] <AussieGuy> how can you use a windows monitor driver with ubuntu?
[07:13] <ShinyHat> can anyone here help me tether a blackberry?
[07:14] <tehbaut> Ok, so if a disk contains an os ubuntu always mounts it at /media/osname?
[07:14] <space_cadet> tehbaut, if a disk is to be mounted.  ubuntu creates a FOLDER in /media that is usually named what the disk is named, (disklabel)

[07:15] <quibbler> !in
[07:15] <space_cadet> !mount

[07:17] <komandan_sipelau> ok makasih sori salah room yaa
[07:17] <space_cadet> tehbaut, it will create a folder in /media   named vista
[07:17] <AussieGuy> is there any way I can "force" the screen resolution besides editing xorg.conf?
[07:17] <space_cadet> NoobGuest, cool !
[07:17] <chaitan3> AussieGuy, what video card do you have?
[07:17] <AussieGuy> nvidia
[07:17] <tehbaut> And mounting the drive to that location allows me access to the disk?
[07:17] <NoobGuest> AussieGuy: worked great for me just now when I edited.
[07:17] <kgaard> 'ello
[07:18] <space_cadet> tehbaut, yes
[07:18] <AussieGuy> seems to crash every time I edit it?
[07:18] <tehbaut> Cool deal
[07:18] <chaitan3> AussieGuy, have you installed the nvidia proprietary drivers?
[07:18] <benkamin1> my remote desktop problem is solved: external ip connection was unavailable from within the internal network (probably router settings), when a friend with another ip tried to connect it worked. thx everyone.
[07:18] <space_cadet> tehbaut, see.. if you do not have a mountpoint (/media/vista) you cannot mount a disk.
[07:18] <Nephilus> I am unbanned :) thank you ikonia
[07:18] <AussieGuy> yep proprietory
[07:18] <NoobGuest> AussieGuy: don't know anything about that.
[07:19] <tehbaut> space_cadet: I am just used to the GUI doing that for me I guess :P
[07:19] <chaitan3> AussieGuy, then try changing screen resolution through nvidia-settings
[07:19] <AussieGuy> nvidia-settings also gives me 800x600 max
[07:19] <space_cadet> tehbaut, basically... the gui does the same thing behind the scenes
[07:19] <tehbaut> Figured
[07:20] <AussieGuy> theres nothing about resolution in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:20] <NoobGuest> AussiGuy: you must add some stuff
[07:20] <Nephilus> i have been stumbling with the stumbleupon toolbar for hours :( i started getting just pix
[07:20] <space_cadet> Nephilus, tmi
[07:20] <Nephilus> lol srry
[07:21] <AussieGuy> I think it was repeatedly trying to add stuff before that kept crashing before I gave up after 24 hours. xorg.conf is written in a programming language I dont understand
[07:21] <NoobGuest> AussieGuy: try doing this http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081204201509AAERoW

[07:22] <magnetron> _Brun0_→ yeah, you can get it with "apt-get"
[07:22] <space_cadet> you can get anything with apt-get
[07:23] <NoobGuest> AussieGuy: http://pastie.org/432293
[07:23] <space_cadet> sudo apt-get 40-old-english
[07:23] <NoobGuest> AussieGuy: then you must reload the GUI
[07:24] <space_cadet> sudo apt-get install drunkenness-gui
[07:24] <_Brun0_> magnetron, sadly, apt-get gets from there, so I cannot install it from apt-get. Any other place?
[07:24] <space_cadet> aptitude?
[07:25] <magnetron> _Brun0_→ remove the unofficial repo you've added

[07:59] <temp00> flannel, rww: thanks. it was in a tar.gz archive. double clicking works after extracting
[07:59] <gogeta> spc_ well you can set em to keep there ips on the roughter lease settings
[08:00] <Nephilus> how do you make a macro in ubuntu?

[08:01] <spc_> gogeta: thanks.. i will look into that.. i assume there is a way to keep the 'lease' forever or something.
[08:01] <Rabbitbunny> 0 in two years.
[08:01] <gogeta> tehbzut never with ext3
[08:01] <fraseyboy> i currently have ubuntu and windows xp installed. For some reason my windows xp install is totally screwed up. If i were reinstall windows xp, would it screw up GRUB somehow and make ubuntu inaccessible?
[08:01] <gogeta> spc_ yea years at least
[08:01] <Ubuntubear> I don't think www.portforward.org is up anymore Rabbitbunny
[08:02] <Rabbitbunny> what? it has forever
[08:02] <Rabbitbunny> oh, .com
[08:02] <tehbaut> Cool, I've heard other distros can be less stable
[08:03] <Rabbitbunny> Ubuntubear: Also, when you talk to someone, if you put their name as the first word many people have script setup to alert them. http://www.portforward.com
[08:03] <gogeta> tehbaut any ext3 system is pretty rock solid
[08:03] <tehbaut> Ok
[08:03] <gogeta> ext2 had issues
[08:03] <fraseyboy> is it possible to install windows xp with ext3 D:
[08:03] <tehbaut> Gotcha
[08:03] <gogeta> no
[08:03] <fraseyboy> meh
[08:04] <gogeta> ntfs for xp
[08:04] <fraseyboy> maybe some day ubuntu will be good for gaming too...
[08:04] <rww> tehbaut: I've never experienced kernel corruption or data loss in ten years of using Linux.
 maybe some day ubuntu will be good for gaming too... <-- I hope sooner than later
[08:04] <Flannel> !games
[08:04] <fraseyboy> indeed
[08:04] <rww> except for that time i did stupid things involving the letters R and M, but that doesn't count.
[08:04] <gogeta> fraseyboy wine was rocking for gaming then whent downhill
[08:05] <fraseyboy> hmm
[08:05] <fraseyboy> havent tried cod4 in wine but i heard it works ok
[08:05] <fraseyboy> tf2 doesnt seem to work well for me
[08:05] <grinsys> fraseyboy, it could be great for gaming, but a solid api, or something, plus you need people who want to buy games for linux, instead of just asking for ports of their already own windows copies. Since no one will buy 2 copies for 2 oes
[08:05] <Prpl> Anyone know of any good books from the eighteenth century (1700's)?
[08:06] <grinsys> Voltare stuff. lol
[08:06] <fraseyboy> well yeah
[08:06] <Nephilus> I used to like linux mint but it had a lot of problems on my comps
[08:06] <Frosty> hello
[08:06] <fraseyboy> but i really came here to ask whether reinstalling windows xp would screw up grub somehow
[08:06] <gogeta> grinsys id sells linux copys
[08:06] <spc_> gogeta: thanks i will look into that!
[08:06] <rww> !ot | Prpl
[08:06] <Nephilus> like on my 64x every time i restarted my cp it gave me a kernel error
[08:07] <guza> hi
[08:07] <Prpl> How dare you, rww. :p
[08:07] <guza> how can i remove slapd if i delete config files
[08:07] <grinsys> they do, because they hate directx so much, which gives that open ability to work better with other oses :)
[08:07] <guza> http://pastebin.com/d6aa3cfc7
[08:07] <Rabbitbunny> fraseyboy: Yes, it'll overwrite grub.
[08:08] <fraseyboy> damn
[08:08] <Frosty> ah no worries, in that case , I need some assistance with running dosbox in my ubuntu, i get faulty sound - the sound works but it jumps, i know this is common for some dosbox things, but if there is anyway to fix it up , even just a little it would be great if someone could advise me on any possible solution. thanks :)
[08:08] <fraseyboy> so is there any way to get grub back without reinstalling ubuntu?
[08:08] <gogeta> freasyboy supergrub live cd or the ubuntu live cd can both fix grub
[08:08] <Rabbitbunny> not that i know of, but i've never looked.
[08:08] <fraseyboy> ah good
[08:09] <fraseyboy> i'll do that then
[08:09] <gogeta> supergrub being the guided
[08:09] <fraseyboy> so how easy is it with the live cd?
[08:09] <enigma> hi, something wrong with my keybord. When I press arrow up, printscreen start instead moving sursor up
[08:09] <guza> can someone help me to remove ldap
[08:09] <gogeta> freasyboy its a console command
[08:09] <fraseyboy> righty ho, thanks then
[08:10] <Rabbitbunny> enigma: is your keyboard map correct?
[08:10] <fraseyboy> also, out of interest, anyone here tried the windows 7 beta?
[08:10] <Frosty> i have
[08:10] <gogeta> woot
[08:10] <fraseyboy> good enoguh to use as primary os frosty?
[08:10] <jussi01> !ot
[08:10] <Rabbitbunny> fraseyboy: it says windows ight in the name.
[08:10] <gogeta> fraseyboy beta builds expire
[08:10] <fraseyboy> lolz
[08:10] <Frosty> think of it like microsofts version of vista with a kde desktop
[08:11] <Frosty> it does appear it will be usable however,
[08:11] <fraseyboy> k
[08:11] <gogeta> frosty no way it smokes vista
[08:11] <fraseyboy> faster than vista from testing too
[08:11] <Frosty> well yes it is better
[08:11] <gogeta> :)
[08:11] <fraseyboy> but i suppose we shouldnt be discussing this here
[08:11] <Frosty> but its desktop is similiar to kde
[08:11] <enigma> Rabbitbunny: key map? yesterday everything was ok, but today works wrong
[08:11] <gogeta> :(
[08:11] <Rabbitbunny> fraseyboy: exactly.
[08:11] <jussi01> Frosty: fraseyboy please take this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:11] <moz_> i have a user called moz i am trying to add to the root user group, i have added the line wheel::10:root,moz at the end of /etc/group file and logged out and logged in again and it still isnt letting me have permissions to delete a file
[08:12] <gogeta> moz_ sudo
[08:12] <Frosty> aye apologies, i need some help with dosbos on ubuntu please (jumpy sound - not sure what to change to try to resolve it)
[08:12] <fraseyboy> damn i love wobbly windows.
[08:12] <jussi01> !aupportroot | moz_
[08:12] <Frosty> dosbox*
[08:12] <jussi01> !supportroot | moz_
[08:12] <Rabbitbunny> enigma: System > Preferences > Keyboard > Layout
[08:12] <tehbaut> So ubuntu is starting to win me over
[08:13] <moz_> i dont understand? I just want to add the user to the root group
[08:13] <bolt> will doing "dpkg --get-selections > foo" on machine a, and then "dpkg --set-selections < foo" on machine b cause packages that previously existed _only_ on machine b to be uninstalled when I run "apt-get dselect-upgrade"? if not, how can I get them to be? I want to completely mirror the install I have on a, without retaining any extra packages on b.
[08:13] <fraseyboy> anyone know whether theres a way to do chkdsk on a seperate NTFS disk from ubuntu while still using ubuntu?
[08:13] <moz_> i've read on the internet about it but cant get it working, my root user group owns my web server directory so i want to change my FTP details for my user to have those permissions
[08:13] <tehbaut> But is ~5MB/s decent file transfer speed?
[08:14] <tehbaut> Going between 2 drives
[08:14] <Rabbitbunny> fraseyboy: mount the disk.
[08:14] <Rabbitbunny> tehbaut: Terrible. I'm pushing 19 on legacy gear.
[08:14] <tehbaut> Also, I hear support for x64 isn't that great yet
[08:14] <fraseyboy> rabbitbunny: is that all?
[08:15] <Rabbitbunny> fraseyboy: I said Legacy. meaning old, not this decade.
[08:15] <tehbaut> Rabbitbunny: Maybe it's because im still using the livecd?
[08:15] <fraseyboy> rabbitybunny: you replied to wrong person D:
[08:15] <Frosty> Hi, I need some assistance fixing my sound in dosbox, i'm using ubuntu 64 , i've tried a few things on the forums that say it may or may not work, so far no luck, im not sure what the cause of my jumpy sound is in the paricular program i'm trying to run in dos. Any ideas?
[08:15] <fraseyboy> or you misunderstood my reply
[08:16] <moz_> jussi01: what did the bot mean by not supporting a root password? im trying to add a user to the root group
[08:16] <Rabbitbunny> fraseyboy: Yeah, you're right. and no, you may have to mount it fun, google.
[08:16] <Rabbitbunny> tehbaut: Yes, the liveCD is slow.
[08:16] <fraseyboy> rabbitbunny: its mounted and everything, i just want to chkdsk it
[08:16] <moz_> i need to have permissions for files that are owned by the root group for my FTP user
[08:16] <tehbaut> Ok
[08:16] <moz_> how can i do that?
[08:17] <Rabbitbunny> moz_: chmod
[08:17] <Rabbitbunny> mozCHOWN
[08:18] <tehbaut> If I have 4 disks in a raid0 configuration, could I still partition it like a regular drive and run ubuntu on one?
[08:18] <moz_> would changing the owner of my web server folder to my FTP user be an ok idea ?
[08:18] <tehbaut> One partition*
[08:19] <Rabbitbunny> moz_: You'd probably want to ask that on the forums, where people can correct advice.
[08:20] <tehbaut> So how do I take out my livecd so I can burn a DVD? :P
[08:20] <fraseyboy> any way to make an unnatended xp install via ubuntu?
[08:21] <usicow> in a bash script I've got the line for j in `ls $i `; do.. how can I make that ls just files without *thumb* in them?
[08:22] <Rabbitbunny> usicow: try #bash
[08:22] <Nephilus> where can i install xwinwrap for animated bg link (http://www.xfce-look.org/content/show.php?content=88248&forumpage=3&PHPSESSID=932b029)
[08:22] <ron2010> hey guys... can anybody help me bring the bottom bar
[08:22] <Rabbitbunny> tehbaut: install ;)
[08:22] <ron2010> and now when i minimize a program it goes away
[08:22] <Nephilus> !xwin
[08:22] <tehbaut> Knew you'd say that xD
[08:22] <ron2010> it used to sit below the bottom on a bar
[08:22] <g4lt-lappy> fraseyboy, uhm, why now use XP to set up your unattgended XP install.  use ubuntu for linux, not for a proxy for your screwed up windows requirements
[08:22] <ron2010> and i accidently erase the bar
[08:23] <przemek_> ble
[08:23] <fraseyboy> g4lt-lappy: my windows xp install is totally screwed up. bad sectors I think. I cannot get into it, but i want to reinstall windows xp for gaming
[08:23] <fraseyboy> and this time i want to do it better.
[08:24] <ron2010> when i minimize it's like i "x" it and it close
[08:24] <g4lt-lappy> fraseyboy, thengo to ##windows
[08:24] <tehbaut> I like seeing the weather in the top bar
[08:24] <ron2010> how do i undo it so when in minimze it brings it down on teh bottom of desktop
[08:24] <fraseyboy> but its not a question about windows
[08:24] <g4lt-lappy> this is for ubuntu hlep, not help with redmondware
[08:24] <fraseyboy> about whether i can run some sort of app to help slipstream my windows xp install in ubuntu
[08:24] <Rabbitbunny> ron2010: it's called a panel, try google about gnome panels
[08:24] <asdfsadfsadf> Should I get Vista Ultimate or Business, I'm not sure which one is better?
[08:24] <rww> fraseyboy: No, you can't. Slipstreaming requires Windows.
[08:25] <rww> asdfsadfsadf: Ask in ##windows, not here.
[08:25] <fraseyboy> righty ho.
[08:25] <asdfsadfsadf> I like all the features ultimate has, but it costs more than business
[08:25] <fraseyboy> is there some taboo about mentioning windows in here?
[08:25] <asdfsadfsadf> I like aero though
[08:25] <g4lt-lappy> fraseyboy, thanks for helping the trolls with a reason
[08:25] <rww> !windows | fraseyboy, asdfsadfsadf
[08:25] <ron2010> thanks info about panels
[08:25] <Rabbitbunny> ron2010: it's called a panel, try google about gnome panels
[08:25] <Rabbitbunny> whoops
[08:26] <fraseyboy> the question wasn't even about windows.
[08:26] <fraseyboy> but meh.
[08:26] <fraseyboy> so all my desktop icons aren't there
[08:26] <fraseyboy> what to do?
[08:26] <rww> fraseyboy: Are you using GNOME, KDE, or something else?
[08:27] <fraseyboy> rww: gnome
[08:27] <fraseyboy> and when i save stuff to the desktop, i cant see it
[08:27] <asdfsadfsadf> How much will Windows 7 cost?
[08:27] <dayo> !windows | asdfsadfsadf
[08:27] <fraseyboy> -_-
[08:27] <bazhang> !ot > asdfsadfsadf
[08:27] <Rabbitbunny> asd, not funny.
[08:27] <dayo> what's with this guy??!
[08:27] <tehbaut> What comes with ubuntu 8.10? Gnome/KDE/other?
[08:28] <Rabbitbunny> teh Gnome.
[08:28] <rww> dayo: it's a troll. ignore it.
[08:28] <dayo> tehbaut: gnome
[08:28] <asdfsadfsadf> I can't wait for 7, gonna be so much better than vista
[08:28] <tehbaut> Ok
[08:28] <dayo> rww: aaah
[08:28] <enigma> Rabbitbunny: Generic 105-key (Intl) PC
[08:28] <Rabbitbunny> bazhang: Thanks.
[08:28] <tehbaut> Oh duh, I keep seeing the footprint logo... Haha
[08:28] <SoS11> anyone here used wondershaper?
[08:29] <Frosty> any dosbox guru's around yet?, im getting jumpy sound in my dosbox on ubuntu but im not sure wht to do to fix it, or what is even causing the problem. any help would be appreciated
[08:29] <fraseyboy> so why is my desktop not showing anything?
[08:29] <rww> fraseyboy: Hrm. Does the program "gconf-editor" ring a bell? There's an option in there that turns off desktop stuff.
[08:29] <Rabbitbunny> enigma: Uhm, that could be correct if you're outside the US, I don't really know. got a different keyboard to try?
[08:29] <fraseyboy> never touched it
[08:29] <rww> fraseyboy: okay. Does logging out and back in fix it?
[08:29] <nutmeg> hi, i brought my desktop computer with me on the road. how can i make network manager scan for wireless signals?
[08:30] <fraseyboy> well it was happening yesterday and its still happening today, after turning it off and on
[08:30] <fraseyboy> but i'll try it

[08:30] <enigma> I will try yo restart pc
[08:30] <Rabbitbunny> enigma: kk
[08:30] <enigma> ?
[08:31] <Rabbitbunny> err, Okay
[08:31] <tehbaut> Gnome is a desktop environment, not a GUI in the sense of qt and gtk, right?
[08:32] <Rabbitbunny> nutmeg: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-137027.html looks helpful
[08:32] <SoS11> is there any reliable way to test my Up and Down connection??? ... Network Manager only prints this: http://members.hsogaming.com/sadiq/Connection.png
[08:32] <SoS11> *speed*
[08:32] <Rabbitbunny> SoS11: there are websites, look for ISP speed ratings
[08:33] <fraseyboy> all g now.
[08:33] <SoS11> Rabbitbunny, I tried...not much info from my ISP...and speedtest.com varies waaay too much
[08:34] <Rabbitbunny> SoS11: Your real speeds vary.
[08:34] <fraseyboy> ooh house is on brb
[08:35] <tehbaut> Are there any nice looking IRC apps for Linux? Similar to colloqoy for Macs
[08:35] <Rabbitbunny> tehbaut: Irssi is the only IRC you need.
[08:35] <tehbaut> Colloquy*
[08:35] <tehbaut> Nab, that's ugly
[08:36] <tehbaut> I don't like text :D
[08:36] <Counterspell> Is there a way I can use apt-get install to only install the *dependencies* of a package but not the package itself?
[08:37] <kraut> moin
[08:38] <Rabbitbunny> /j #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:38] <elhugodor> does this work
[08:38] <jussi01> elhugodor: no :P
[08:38] <elhugodor> yay i finally configured an irc proxy on my machine!
[08:38] <ron2010> help... when i minimize the window it closes
[08:38] <ron2010> or goes away
[08:39] <elhugodor> g2g
[08:39] <ron2010> how can i stop this
[08:39] <moz_> i have a VPS, and i've only just started using it and my nobody account has a password, it didnt on my old machine and i cant log it to use it now?
[08:39] <ron2010> so it miminize into desktop
[08:39] <ron2010> or on desktop
[08:39] <moz_> extracted from /etc/shadow - nobody:*:14012:0:99999:7:::
[08:39] <ron2010> it use to sit on top of the panel
[08:39] <ron2010> but after i accidently erase it... it goes away when i minimize
[08:39] <ron2010> help PLEASE!!!!
[08:40] <Rabbitbunny> ron2010: are you saying you don't have a window list?
[08:40] <ron2010> right
[08:40] <ron2010> i think :)
[08:40] <tehbaut1> pidgin isn't too shabby
[08:40] <Rabbitbunny> I'm so sorry, this is super simple.
[08:40] <moz_> anyone know how i can use my nobody account ?
[08:40] <ikonia> moz_: the nobody account should eb locked
[08:41] <ikonia> moz_: it should also not have an interactive shell
[08:41] <moz_> when i installed ubuntu before i didnt need a password to log in
[08:41] <ron2010> show me the way rabbit :)
[08:41] <moz_> i dont quite understand
[08:41] <ikonia> moz_: the nobody account should be locked - and not have an interactive shell
[08:41] <ikonia> moz_: you should never use the "nobody" account
[08:41] <Rabbitbunny> Right click on the panel, Select "Add to Panel", scroll down and select "Window List".
[08:41] <moz_> thats what my php shell commands executed under, the nobody account
[08:42] <ikonia> moz_: the nobody account should not have an interactive shell, using the uid is fine, but not the account
[08:42] <Rabbitbunny> ron2010: you see that?
[08:42] <moz_> ikonia: you mean its ok to use my php commands using the account, but not to use it from the terminal ?
[08:43] <sarmisak> moz_: unless you know what you are doing
[08:44] <elhugodor> anyone running 2.6.28?
[08:44] <moz_> why did it have no password when i installed ubuntu before then, I cant test my shell commands in the terminal now because i dont know the password
[08:44] <sarmisak> moz_: you can force to use the nobody account, try sudo -u nobody php5-cgi /your/php_script.php
[08:44] <Rabbitbunny> ron2010: you alive man?
[08:45] <Camille> bjr, comment on accède au chat ubuntu fr svp ?
[08:45] <ikonia> moz_: it's always been a locked account, the only way you could possibly "use" it is by either setting a password or using sudo/su to become it
[08:46] <dtom2444> how can i join channel #twitlive ?
[08:46] <moz_> sarmisak: thanks that looks like its working
[08:46] <Rabbitbunny> dtom2444: type "/join #twitlive"
[08:46] <Nephilus> How do you install pyXML?
[08:46] <moz_> ikonia: on my installation su nobody put me straight in, on my VPS su nobody asks for the password
[08:46] <mobi-sheep> How can I install gnome-do-plugins without the dependencies? It prompted evolution, evolution-common, evolution-plugins, etc.  aptitude nor apt-get.  I only wanted to use "some of the plugins" --> The one not afflicted with Evolution.
[08:46] <moz_> thats what i meant
[08:47] <dtom2444> Rabbitbunny: not working...
[08:47] <ikonia> moz_: then your installation is messed up
[08:47] <ikonia> moz_: your vps is set correctly
[08:47] <Rabbitbunny> dtom2444: for the Window List?
[08:47] <moz_> strange, i used ubuntu-server and ubuntu and got the same for both
[08:48] <sarmisak> moz_: on your vps setup your installer might have put a passwd for the nobody account
[08:48] <moz_> yeah
[08:49] <Counterspell> Is there any way to install only a package's dependencies (and not the package itself)?
[08:49] <sarmisak> moz_: just try sudo, not su, probably nobody's shell is /bin/false and you won't be able to work anyway
[08:49] <ikonia> sarmisak: no - the nobody account is locked
[08:49] <ikonia> sarmisak: and as you said does not have a valid shell
[08:50] <dtom2444> *** Is it possible to run the Jaunty beta iso through a Virtual Machine? if so, how??? ***
[08:50] <magnetron> !jaunty | dtom2444
[08:50] <Frosty> hmm, where do i find the dosbox config files, i dont seem to see them in/etc?
[08:51] <Maldo> can I use 'dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sda' and flush the file system buffers with 'sync' afterwards to reallocate bad blocks on a hdd?
[08:51] <Rabbitbunny> dtom2444: Oh, sorry, got you mixed up. don't type the quote, just the tings inside it, also, you're client might not let you do that if it hates you.
[08:51] <Rabbitbunny> dtom2444: If you can't figure the client out, use mibbit.com and the command i showed you will work.
[08:53] <bangwall> -_-a
[08:53] <tehbaut1> anyone here use Adobe AIR apps?
[08:53] <dtom2444> RabbitBunny: join mibbit.com through a browser?
[08:53] <Rabbitbunny> dtom2444: Yes.
[08:53] <sarmisak> Maldo: I wouldn't recommend that, don't use dd on a mounted filesystem
[08:53] <dtom2444> thank you
[08:53] <Maldo> sarmisak: it's not mounted
[08:54] <fraseyboy> this is kinda off topic, but i got this pimple like just inside my left nostril and its really annoying. how to remove?
[08:54] <sarmisak> Maldo: it would probably work, but be sure to check with the manual of dd. I have never tried rewriting the disk to itself
[08:54] <rww> !ot > fraseyboy
[08:54] <tehbaut1> does the windows button have any usefulness in ubuntu?
[08:54] <sarmisak> tehbaut1: sometimes, if you enable compiz especially.
[08:54] <fraseyboy> D:
[08:54] <mobi-sheep> How can I install gnome-do-plugins without the dependencies? It prompted evolution, evolution-common, evolution-plugins, etc.  aptitude nor apt-get.  I only wanted to use "some of the plugins" --> The one not afflicted with Evolution.
[08:55] <tehbaut1> ok, so how do I hide / minimize all my windows?
[08:55] <fraseyboy> windows d
[08:55] <fraseyboy> its called 'super'
[08:55] <sarmisak> tehbaut1: try CTRL+ALT+D
[08:55] <fraseyboy> works for me
[08:55] <tehbaut1> ok, well win+d isn't working because I tried it
[08:55] <fraseyboy> you can bind it i think
[08:55] <tehbaut1> ctrl+alt+d works
[08:55] <fraseyboy> somewhere
[08:55] <mobi-sheep> tehbaut1: You can change to Super + D --> Look under System --> Preferences --> Keyboard Shortcuts.
[08:55] <fraseyboy> indeed.
[08:55] <tehbaut1> mobi-sheep: cool, thanks
[08:56] <ablmf> why do we need 'sudo' in ubuntu? it seems to be useless.  every time I type that, my colleagues laughed at me.
[08:56] <Maldo> sarmisak: the manual of dd says "rejuvenate a hard drive" with this command
[08:56] <mobi-sheep> ablmf: Why did Windows introduce UAC? >_>
[08:56] <sarmisak> Maldo: ok then :)
[08:56] <jetienne> !gcc
[08:56] <sarmisak> ablmf: like what?
[08:56] <jetienne> !info gcc
[08:57] <ablmf> mobi-sheep: that's why vista is not as popular as xp
[08:57] <mobi-sheep> ablmf: People, your friends, your little sister, etc can install crapware on your machine without password.  Hence the UAC or sudo --> It only come to administrative tasks.
[08:58] <sarmisak> mobi-sheep: you can't assign it from there, it just displays Super L
[08:58] <tehbaut1> mobi-sheep: it will only let me do Super , no +d :/
[08:58] <ablmf> but for a programmer who works on ubuntu, I have to type "sudo" too many times a day
[08:59] <Scarey> how do I see what my eth0's got as default gateway when it's running DHCP ?
[08:59] <sarmisak> ablmf: if you want you can become root permanently, just type sudo -s
[08:59] <bullgard4> http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/sagemath: "Paket: sagemath (3.0.5dfsg-3) [universe]: Mathematics software written in Python:
[08:59] <mobi-sheep> sarmisak + tehbaut1: Just try it even although it shows Super L
[08:59] <sarmisak> ablmf: or edit the sudoers file @ /etc/sudoers
[09:00] <tehbaut1> mobi-sheep: I did, it will not add +d to the combo
[09:00] <ablmf> sarmisak:  thanks a lot!
[09:00] <kgaard> ello ello
[09:00] <mobi-sheep> tehbaut1: Did it hide the windows with just a Super?
[09:00] <Counterspell> how do I install only the dependencies of a package?
[09:00] <sarmisak> mobi-sheep: as soon as press Super, it minimizes ;)
[09:00] <chazco> Hi... how can I make the terminal display a list of possible commands matching what has already been typed in?
[09:00] <tehbaut1> mobi-sheep: yes, before even pressing the d
[09:00] <sarmisak> chazco: tried TAB key?
[09:00] <mobi-sheep> sarmisak: I suppose you can learn Ctrl + Alt + D. :-P
[09:01] <bullgard4>  http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/sagemath: "Package: sagemath (3.0.5dfsg-3) [universe]: Mathematics software written in Python:Sage is a mathematical software package with support for a wide range of mathematics, including..." What does 'sage' stand here for?
[09:01] <sarmisak> mobi-sheep: I've been using it for decades :D
[09:01] <Scarey> when my laptop is set for DHCP, how do I see what the gateway IP is?
[09:01] <chazco> sarmisak - Yep, but ive seen one the seems to list of suggestions rather than just one
[09:01] <Jimi_Neutral> Hey all
[09:01] <chazco> sarmisak - Ah, press tab more than once :D Thanks :)
[09:02] <tucker> @Scarey: In terminal: route -n
[09:02] <Scarey> tucker, tnx!
[09:02] <mobi-sheep> How can I install gnome-do-plugins without the dependencies? It prompted evolution, evolution-common, evolution-plugins, etc as the said dependencies.  I only wanted to use "some of the plugins"
[09:02] <Scarey> tucker, it says 0.0.0.0 .. ?!
[09:03] <tucker> there has to be one line with something else in the router column
[09:03] <tehbaut1> so where do I find compiz?
[09:03] <Jimi_Neutral> New to ubuntu or any form of Linux here
[09:03] <sarmisak> mobi-sheep: just install them, then remove them with apt-get purge ;)
[09:03] <mobi-sheep> tehbaut1: sudo aptitude search compiz
[09:03] <Scarey> tucker, ahh yes. buttom line.. says ip = 0.0.0.0, gw=192.168.2.1 (seems right)
[09:03] <sarmisak> tehbaut1: install it from add / remove programs
[09:03] <tehbaut1> ok
[09:04] <Scarey> tucker, tnx again
[09:04] <mobi-sheep> sarmisak: I tried.  With aptitude / apt-get, it needed evolution? :(
[09:04] <sarmisak> mobi-sheep: 1 sec pls.. checking my installation
[09:05] <mobi-sheep> sarmisak: Okay.  I removed evolution because I frankly find it unnecessary.  I have been using webmail for long time. :)
[09:06] <badboy_> her guys, I just installed intrepid a week ago, how can I upgrade to jaunty automatically
[09:06] <mobi-sheep> badboy_: Jaunty is not released.
[09:06] <Gnea> badboy_: wait for it to be released, then it will show up in your upgrade panel
[09:06] <Gnea> !upgrade | badboy_
[09:06] <badboy_> i downloaded a live cd yesterday ???
[09:07] <Gnea> of the beta?
[09:07] <sarmisak> mobi-sheep: I have the same setup here, it requires evolution for sure but it's been removed
[09:07] <badboy_> maybe it could be beta one , I will check
[09:07] <sarmisak> mobi-sheep: removing wouldn't hurt  ;)
[09:07] <tehbaut1> if I'm running gnome and not KDE, I can't get KDE apps, right?
[09:08] <st1x> Hi guys. I have noticed that I can hibernate my ubuntu - which is cool. Is this a specific runlevel? If Not, how can I do this remotely via ssh?
[09:08] <Guest58266> hi i am installing Java on my comp
[09:08] <mobi-sheep> sarmisak: What do you mean?  I don't have evolution, but I want to install gnome-do-plugins.  And Gnome-do-plugins want evolution.
[09:08] <Guest58266> but i do not know how to run the .bin file
[09:08] <tehbaut1> if I'm running gnome and not KDE, I can't get KDE apps, right?
[09:09] <ziroday> tehbaut: no
[09:09] <tehbaut1> ok
[09:09] <freshmilk> Help! Audio only works on my computer AFTER I force quit pulseaudio!
[09:09] <simplexi1>  /calc 8*30*50
[09:09] <magnetron> tehbaut1→ you CAN
[09:09] <tehbaut1> without installing KDE?
[09:09] <Jimi_Neutral> im trying to install clonezilla and following a tutorial but when i run this command "sudo /opt/drbl/sbin/dbrlsrv-offline -s `uname -r`" it comes up with a list of packages that are needed, when i try to downlaod those packages i get a message saying "couldnt find package ......."
[09:09] <ziroday> tehbaut: you will have to install the qt libraries
[09:09] <magnetron> tehbaut1→ first, what do you mean by "KDE" apps?
[09:09] <tehbaut1> ah, well I thought about doing that anyway
[09:09] <magnetron> ziroday→ which will be installed automatically
[09:10] <ziroday> magnetron: yeah, tehbaut is just making it harder then it has to be :)
[09:10] <tehbaut1> well ubuntu's add/remove is showing a bunch of KDE apps (via koffice)
[09:10] <magnetron> tehbaut1→ just add them
[09:10] <tehbaut1> hmmm, ok then :P
[09:10] <ziroday> Jimi_Neutral: they probably have a different name in the repo
[09:11] <freshmilk> :(
[09:11] <InfinityFinder> hi
[09:11] <Jimi_Neutral> So how would i find them, because the list I have here is dbrl-partimage dbrl-ntfsprogs, dbrl-chntw and dbrl-lzop.....that is what comes up in the list
[09:12] <sarmisak> mobi-sheep: I'm trying to say this, if you remove evolution *after* gnome-do-plugins install, it does remove it
[09:12] <sarmisak> mobi-sheep: but if it does not matter you, just leave it as it is
[09:12] <InfinityFinder> hey I like to say that the gnome Ubuntu for me is a little bloated but kUbuntu rocks :) anyone on the same opinion?
[09:13] <bullgard4>  http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/sagemath: "Package: sagemath (3.0.5dfsg-3) [universe]: Mathematics software written in Python:Sage is a mathematical software package with support for a wide range of mathematics, including..." What does 'sage' stand here for?
[09:13] <timboy> I have a fat32 partitioned 16gb sd card that is reporting improper free space. how can i fix this without formatting? is there something like chkdsk for windows?
[09:13] <mobi-sheep> sarmisak: Meh, how would I get gnome-do-plugins without evolution? >_>
[09:14] <tehbaut1> do apps uninstall pretty cleanly in ubuntu? unlike in windows where files and settings can get left behind
[09:14] <timboy> tehbaut, yes
[09:14] <tehbaut1> curious to try a few, but don't want to clutter things up
[09:14] <timboy> most apps create a .appname in your home directory
[09:15] <tehbaut1> ok
[09:15] <ziroday> tehbaut: if you use apt-get remove --purge and then apt-get clean and then apt-get autoclean. Yes
[09:15] <UBN2> uninstalling on ubuntu is rather easy
[09:16] <AnRkey> how can i get my /dev/ttyS0 permissions right?
[09:16] <Nephilus> what is the command to clean tmp folder in terminal?
[09:16] <Seven-7> Achieve Mounter is telling me the files in the zip don't exist, what kind of problem could this be?
[09:16] <AnRkey> i cant use /dev/ttyS0 (permission denied)
[09:16] <ziroday> Seven-7: corrupt archive
[09:16] <ziroday> AnRkey: they should be u=rw, g=rw, o=
[09:17] <amarillion> I'm getting "run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/nvidia-common exited with return code 10" after running apt-get on jaunty beta, any ideas how to troubleshoot?
[09:17] <`brandon`> my friend is in a bind how do you shut down?
[09:17] <Seven-7> ziroday: Everything else checks out :/
[09:17] <`brandon`> from the black screen
[09:17] <ziroday> `brandon`: hold down the power button
[09:17] <amigo_rich> AnRkey: Is your user in the dialout group?
[09:17] <ziroday> Seven-7: does it work on other computers?
[09:18] <`brandon`> hi i am installing Java on my comp
[09:18] <AnRkey> hmm, i dont think so
[09:18] <`brandon`> but i do not know how to run the .bin file
[09:18] <`brandon`> any idea's
[09:18] <AnRkey> amigo_rich, so simple, thanks bud :)
[09:18] <ziroday> !java | `brandon`
[09:18] <amigo_rich> AnRkey: NP:-)
[09:18] <Seven-7> ziroday: Heh, yeah. It's an Axxo file :)
[09:18] <ziroday> Seven-7: have you checked it yourself?
[09:19] <Seven-7> ziroday: As in, tested the file with Archieve manager?
[09:20] <tehbaut1> so once I checkmark the new apps I want, how do I actually install them?
[09:21] <Nephilus> `brandon`:  try rightclick propertiecs permissions make sure it is executable (checkbox) and then go to terminal type cd filelocation/   and after that type ./filename
[09:21] <ziroday> Seven-7: as in does the file work on other computers, on windows, have you checked it personally?
[09:21] <ziroday> Seven-7: it is highly likely the file is corrupt

[09:22] <ziroday> UBN2: something we can help you with?
[09:22] <tehbaut1> ah, I just found the apply button :D
[09:23] <sarmisak> InfinityFinder: it depends ;)
[09:23] <temp00> i dont get a splash image when i boot
[09:23] <temp00> all i get is reading blah blah - pass
[09:23] <UBN2> ok, i'll ask again: any way i can run the Jaunty beta through a virtual machine??
[09:23] <temp00> etc.
[09:24] <ziroday> UBN2: in #ubuntu+1. And yes you can.
[09:24] <tehbaut1> so how do I start using ubuntu for web development? I assume I either need a server, or one comes with it?
[09:24] <ziroday> temp00: can you pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst please
[09:24] <UBN2> how can i join ubuntu+1? i typed "/join #ubuntu+1" but nothing happened...
[09:25] <Tyrath> somehow after the last few updates or removing gXine or something, my headset no longer records audio
[09:25] <Rabbitbunny> tehbaut1: get ubuntu server, it comes with a lamp stack. I use dyndns.org for a domain and gedit for editing.
[09:25] <Tyrath> - this is really inconvenient given I could be saving money on calls by using skype
[09:25] <ziroday> tehbaut1: just install apache and stick your files in /var/www
[09:25] <Tyrath> would anyone have any idea why this is the case?
[09:25] <Tyrath> how can i get record to work again
[09:25] <ziroday> tehbaut: no need to install ubuntu server as well as desktop
[09:26] <Tyrath> i've tried flicking through open volume control devices but i'm not getting any luck
[09:26] <ziroday> UBN2: do you have a list of channels on the left?
[09:26] <temp00> ziroday, http://paste.ubuntu.com/141246/
[09:26] <UBN2> ok, im in thanks
[09:26] <temp00> i've customized it a bit
[09:26] <Jimi_Neutral> when i install something using apt-get install it always downloads from .tw how do i chnage it to bg
[09:26] <ziroday> temp00: also can you verify you have the usplash package installed
[09:26] <Jimi_Neutral> gb*
[09:27] <ziroday> Jimi_Neutral: System > Administration > Software Sources
[09:27] <ziroday> temp00: you're using gutsy?
[09:27] <temp00> ziroday, usplash 0.5.7 and usplash smooth theme installed
[09:27] <temp00> yes gutsy
[09:27] <tehbaut1> Rabbitbunny, ziroday: what's ubuntu server got over just running apache?
[09:28] <AdvoWork> hi there, ive got a few ubuntu pcs on my internal network, is there a way I can send a message from my terminal to all clients(i have the ips) and im root
[09:28] <Rabbitbunny> tehbaut1: Linux Apache MySQL PHP, Lamp.
[09:28] <ziroday> tehbaut1: ubuntu server does a lot of things different to just running apache. But for first time web developers its overkill. Heck you probably don't even need a web server if you are starting off with html
[09:28] <UBN2> ziroday: is anyone even in the #ubuntu+1 channel?
[09:29] <ziroday> UBN2: I wouldn't know, I'm not in there. But yes there usually is. Be patient
[09:29] <UBN2> ok
[09:29] <ziroday> UBN2: and no, you can't ask your question here
[09:29] <Jimi_Neutral> ok when i change it to a uk server it downloads some packages then tells me it couldnt download
[09:29] <ziroday> Jimi_Neutral: are you in the uk?
[09:29] <tehbaut1> ziroday: I've been developing websites for ~10 years, and I have a few remote centos servers, but haven't made the leap to local dev on linux, so maybe a lamp environment would suit best
[09:30] <Jimi_Neutral> yes
[09:30] <joker2048_> hi folks, does anyone of you know how to install a 'old' mysql 4.1 on an 8.04 system? apt-get install mysql-server-4.1 does not work. Must i inculde a different source?
[09:30] <ziroday> tehbaut1: ah right, apologies in that case :). You don't need to install ubuntu server and you can run the LAMP stack beside an ubuntu desktop install quite happily
[09:30] <mobi-sheep> ziroday: What do you mean?  They do leave folders behind, I suppose
[09:30] <Jimi_Neutral> ok changed it and it is still downloading partclone from  http://free.nchc.org.tw
[09:30] <temp00> ziroday, help please
[09:31] <ziroday> temp00: I'm looking, gimme a sec :)
[09:31] <Rabbitbunny> tehbaut1: You'll love a local server, Seriously, I'd trade my dog for it.
[09:31] <sarmisak> joker2048_: it probably wouldn't install, what is the specific reason for 4.1?
[09:31] <ziroday> Jimi_Neutral: just do "Select Best Server"
[09:31] <temp00> ziroday, k thanks :)
[09:31] <ziroday> mobi-sheep: sorry, what is your original question?
[09:31] <tehbaut1> well, it will beat those nights when the net connection fails :D
[09:31] <sarmisak> Rabbitbunny: :D just buy some simple hardware
[09:31] <tehbaut1> but it would be faster too, I bet :)
[09:31] <joker2048_> different applications will not work with mysql5 ... old stuff but must work
[09:32] <mobi-sheep> ziroday: I was a late responsive to convo earlier.  It was about uninstalling packages.  Do they leave configuration files behind.
[09:32] <tehbaut1> ziroday: you said I still don't need to install ubuntu server, so what are my options?
[09:32] <ziroday> mobi-sheep: yes they do
[09:32] <ziroday> tehbaut1: you can install the lamp stack right inside an ubuntu install, and apache and family will run very happily
[09:32] <mobi-sheep> ziroday: How would you clean out?  I use sudo aptitude purge -- but they do leave folder behind, and possibly some conf files.
[09:32] <ziroday> temp00: sorry, I have no idea
[09:32] <temp00> :/
[09:33] <sarmisak> joker2048_: mysql5 is backwards compatible? it should work fine
[09:33] <temp00> anyway, thanks for trying
[09:33] <Tyrath> ok, so if no-one can help me could someone at least point me in the right direction to finding a solution?
[09:33] <tehbaut1> ziroday: sounds good, so I assume the install process starts with apt-get something?
[09:33] <ziroday> temp00: actually, can you append splash to line 134
[09:33] <Tyrath> i have no idea what driver ClearTalk uses
[09:33] <ziroday> tehbaut1: gimme 30 secs
[09:33] <Tyrath> so I wouldn't be able to grep anything out of dmesg
[09:33] <tehbaut1> cool :)
[09:33] <joker2048_> sarmisak: hm
[09:33] <Tyrath> actually
[09:33] <Tyrath> lsusb
[09:34] <Tyrath> - i'll give that a shot
[09:34] <ziroday> tehbaut1: what type of web development are we talking here? Do you need php, mysql, something fancy?
[09:34] <tehbaut1> yeah, php, python and mysql for the most part
[09:34] <sarmisak> tehbaut1: you should install these, apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cgi php5-common php5-mysql mysql-server mysql-client
[09:34] <joker2048_> sarmisak: my dev here noted that ot 'must' be 4.1, well i'll try mysql 5 :-) but is it possbiel to install older packages not only mysql in this case?
[09:34] <sarmisak> tehbaut1: it should also install the dependencies
[09:34] <ziroday> tehbaut: sarmisak has the answer
[09:34] <sarmisak> joker2048_: I don't think so
[09:35] <Tyrath> ahh lsusb isn't giving me anything!
[09:35] <`brandon`> how do i start a perl file
[09:35] <tehbaut1> now, since I'm still running the livecd ...when I hit install, it will take all this and put it right on the HDD, right?
[09:35] <`brandon`> or where is perl so i can do the perl file
[09:35] <tehbaut1> install meaning when I install ubuntu
[09:35] <ziroday> tehbaut1: no, you will need to reinstall all the packages you have installed on the livecd
[09:35] <joker2048_> sarmisak: I'm moving from gentoo to ubuntu and with gentoo you can set your flags/mask and everything is fine. No such a mechanism in ubuntu?
[09:36] <Rabbitbunny> brucelee: perl file.pl
[09:36] <tehbaut1> mmm, ok then
[09:36] <sarmisak> tehbaut1: first install ubuntu, then apt-get them.
[09:36] <ziroday> tehbaut1: so you will have to rerun that command sarmisak gave you
[09:36] <tehbaut1> got it
[09:36] <regression> hello
[09:36] <sarmisak> joker2048_: gentoo's emerge system is much different then ubuntu's
[09:36] <AdvoWork> can you not send messages from ubuntu - ubuntu via terminal?
[09:36] <regression> anyone have a macbook pro with triple boot?
[09:36] <ziroday> !anyone | regression
[09:36] <Rabbitbunny> AdvoWork: SSH?
[09:36] <duhongbo> hello
[09:36] <duhongbo> I am new here
[09:37] <sarmisak> joker2048_: I don't think that you'll suffer much about migrating from 4.1 to 5.x
[09:37] <ziroday> tehbaut: there is an idea sitting in brainstorm related to that, you can upvote it if you feel strongly about it
[09:37] <joker2048_> sarmisak: y ok then... thx for guiding my in the right direction
[09:37] <Jimi_Neutral> is it normal when i reload when i have changed servers for the warning "Could not download all repo index's"?
[09:38] <ziroday> Jimi_Neutral: no, please pastebin the error
[09:38] <sarmisak> joker2048_: no problem, good luck ;)
[09:38] <tehbaut1> ziroday: oh, you mean installing the livecd's currently running instance to the disk?
[09:38] <ziroday> tehbaut: yes
[09:38] <Jimi_Neutral> Failed to fetch http://ubuntu.retrosnub.co.uk/dists/intrepid/Release  Unable to find expected entry  ibex/source/Sources in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
[09:38] <Jimi_Neutral> Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[09:38] <tehbaut1> gotcha
[09:38] <regression> okay. I cannot make a triple boot because when I'm installing linux in a dual boot machine (mac+win) it broke the Windows partition
[09:38] <ziroday> Jimi_Neutral: *pastebin*, did you do "Select the best server" like I told you to?
[09:38] <tehbaut1> t'would be nice... but assuming I'll probably not need to again after this point :D
[09:38] <AdvoWork> Rabbitbunny, what do you mean?
[09:39] <Rabbitbunny> AdvoWork: Do you mean some sort of chat, or some sort of remote control?
[09:39] <Jimi_Neutral> i did do select best server and i will have to o find out what pastebin means, as i said when i entered i am a total newb to linux
[09:39] <tehbaut1> anyway, I think it's time to proceed with installing ubuntu ...back later B)
[09:39] <ziroday> !pastebin | Jimi_Neutral
[09:39] <ziroday> Jimi_Neutral: why not just pick uk.archive.ubuntu.com?
[09:40] <ziroday> Jimi_Neutral: if you are having trouble with a local repo its best to ask the local loco regarding it
[09:40] <AdvoWork> Rabbitbunny, i need to send a message to other clients, anything really, remote control if possible
[09:40] <Jimi_Neutral> http://paste.ubuntu.com/141256/
[09:40] <temp00> how can i disable swap?
[09:41] <creator-cdsc> are there any applications which would let me chat over ssh?
[09:41] <ActionParsnip1> temp00: sudo swapoff /dev/<swap partition name>
[09:41] <ziroday> temp00: did splash sort you out?
[09:41] <Rabbitbunny> AdvoWork: There's a program called OpenSSH that will let you remotely login to a client and run commands, Or, you could run an IRC server yourself and use that, Or you could write a small program, A million ways to do it.
[09:41] <ActionParsnip1> creator-cdsc: you can forward X with ssh, or use irssi
[09:41] <temp00> ziroday, i added the splash. will see on next boot
[09:41] <ziroday> temp00: great
[09:42] <Jimi_Neutral> local loco?
[09:42] <ziroday> Jimi_Neutral: you are in the uk correct?
[09:42] <Rabbitbunny> creator-cdsc: With the local user?
[09:42] <Jimi_Neutral> indeed
[09:42] <ziroday> AdvoWork: you could get up, and go to the room next to you and talk face to face
[09:42] <ziroday> Jimi_Neutral: your loco is #ubuntu-uk
[09:42] <ziroday> !loco
[09:42] <ActionParsnip1> ziroday: i think thats a jaunty feature ;)
[09:42] <ziroday> ActionParsnip1: hehe
[09:43] <creator-cdsc> Rabbitbunny: I have the LAN setup and I want to chat with others using ssh
[09:43] <Jimi_Neutral> ok ty ziroday you have been very helpful
[09:43] <temp00> ubuntu is not currently using swap because i deleted the swap partition from outside ubuntu but I get 'activating swap..  - fail' when i boot
[09:43] <temp00> I want to fix that
[09:43]  * ziroday sighs
[09:43] <sarmisak> AdvoWork: what kind of a messaging system do you need?
[09:43] <ActionParsnip1> creator-cdsc: you could spawn a new room on #freenode and use that
[09:43] <sarmisak> AdvoWork: if its like google talk or something like that, google about "jabber"
[09:44] <ActionParsnip1> creator-cdsc: just join a channel that doesnt exist, it will be spawned and you will be the OP
[09:44] <creator-cdsc> ActionParsnip1: yes, but i don't want to rely on the internet. can't i send messages to another system?
[09:44] <temp00> anyone?
[09:45] <ActionParsnip1> temp00: sec
[09:45] <ziroday> temp00: delete the swap reference from fstab
[09:45] <sarmisak> temp00: edit /etc/fstab file
[09:45] <temp00> nothing there
[09:45] <AdvoWork> Rabbitbunny, i take it the server needs installing on the pcs that i want to connect to?
[09:45] <temp00> already removed the swap line
[09:45] <sarmisak> temp00: then create a new swap partition via a live cd
[09:45] <Nephilus> can i get some help on how to play a dvd? i keep getting an error in totem and in vlc it doesn't do anything :(
[09:46] <Rabbitbunny> AdvoWork: Yes, openssh-server
[09:46] <tehbaut> Ubuntu requires a password, blanks not allowed?
[09:46] <sarmisak> AdvoWork: yes, but if these are windows machines I would recommend tightvnc instead
[09:46] <Nephilus> it sounds stupid but... the error totem gives me a says i might not have permission
[09:46] <Rabbitbunny> creator-cdsc: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/12505/
[09:46] <sarmisak> tehbaut: yes, it does require
[09:46] <tehbaut> Ok
[09:46] <Pseudomocha> MIVEHIND
[09:46] <ActionParsnip1> temp00: sudo mkswap /dev/sda2 && sudo swapon /dev/sda2 (assuming /dev/sda2 is your swap partition) would make /dev/sda2 your swap partition
[09:46] <ActionParsnip1> temp00: is that what you are after
[09:47] <ActionParsnip1> creator-cdsc: you could run a local irc server
[09:47] <creator-cdsc> ActionParsnip1: the internet connection is bad in my institute, but there is the 100 mbps LAN connecting all the computers. So I wanted to do local chat.
[09:47] <Rabbitbunny> Nephilus: Press ctrl+alt+f2, and type in "sudo totem".
[09:47] <UltraNav> Nephilus:  u also possibly need additional libs from http://www.medibuntu.org/ in case your DVD is encrypted...
[09:47] <creator-cdsc> ActionParsnip1: yes, that seems like a good idea
[09:47] <temp00> ActionParsnip1, no. i dont want to recreate a swap partition (will require repartitioning). just want to completly disable swap in ubuntu so i dont get the 'FAIL' line on boot
[09:47] <Nephilus> okay i'll try that :)
[09:48] <ActionParsnip1> temp00: is there a line in /etc/fstab for the swap partition?
[09:48] <temp00> ActionParsnip1, no
[09:48] <temp00> ActionParsnip1, just two lines - one for ext3 parition and one for cdrom
[09:49] <floatboat> i need a ppt tool for linux
[09:49] <HappyDaisy> Allo, many people got experience with bad superblock errors?
[09:49] <AdvoWork> sarmisak, most of them are ubuntu aswell, Rabbitbunny  can i remotely install that server on the pcs?
[09:50] <ziroday> floatboat: openoffice impress
[09:50] <floatboat> ziroday: other ?
[09:50] <ziroday> HappyDaisy: fsck the drive
[09:50] <ziroday> floatboat: latex+beamer
[09:50] <ActionParsnip1> temp00: http://junkypc.com/disable-swapping/  just remember to use gksudo gedit, not sudo gedit like the moron says in his guide
[09:50] <floatboat> ziroday: how?
[09:50] <ziroday> floatboat: http://latex-beamer.sourceforge.net/
[09:50] <floatboat> ziroday: i mean - i need it to open ppt
[09:51] <floatboat> can it read ppt?
[09:51] <HappyDaisy> you mean the particular partition containing linux (/dev/sda6) or the entire drive (/dev/sda)
[09:51] <mobi-sheep> How can I install gnome-do-plugins without the dependencies? It prompted evolution, evolution-common, evolution-plugins, etc.  aptitude nor apt-get.  I only wanted to use "some of the plugins" --> The one not afflicted with Evolution.
[09:51] <ziroday> floatboat: oh, then only OO.o impress
[09:51] <sarmisak> AdvoWork: you might have to install by hand, since openssh-server does not install by default
[09:51] <floatboat> ziroday: isnt there like ppt2pdf
[09:51] <ziroday> mobi-sheep: you can't.
[09:51] <ziroday> floatboat: there is ppthtml
[09:52] <trifler> Anyone who can help me with dnsmasq. I get a dhcp-lease for my clients but the dns doesn't work I can't e.g. ping google.com from the client.
[09:52] <mobi-sheep> ziroday: I can't install a sole package -- There are plugins there for evolution, sure, but I won't use them.  It would not be possible still?
[09:52] <ziroday> mobi-sheep: no
[09:52] <echo_mirage> i want to log in on a distant machine via internet. with full sight of what is on its screen. what is the most common solution for this?
[09:52] <ziroday> mobi-sheep: only way is to build the plugins from source
[09:52] <ziroday> echo_mirage: ssh
[09:53] <echo_mirage> ziroday, ok. i will look for it
[09:53] <mobi-sheep> ziroday: Thanks.  I found a link for that.
[09:53] <rww> !vnc > echo_mirage (Please see message from the bot)

[10:00] <bolt> will doing "dpkg --get-selections > foo" on machine a, and then "dpkg --set-selections < foo" on machine b cause packages that previously existed _only_ on machine b to be uninstalled when I run "apt-get dselect-upgrade"? if not, how can I get them to be? I want to completely mirror the install I have on a, without retaining any extra packages on b.

[10:07] <ukubuntu> Hi all, is there a way to reload the window manager without going through the compiz fusion icon. I would like a cli command that does not need a sudo so that I can put a one click link on my applications bar.
[10:08] <bolt> oCean_: i've read that, but I'm kind of skeptical to the "aptitude --schedule-only install" part of it. that doesn't look like it will remove any extra packages. installing doesn't remove stuff does it?
[10:09] <ActionParsnip1> ukubuntu: compiz --replace   maybe
[10:09] <ukubuntu> many thank ActionParsnip1
[10:10] <natsukashi_> If I have windows installed and remove grub, will Windows boot then? o:
[10:10] <oCean_> bolt: agreed. Not sure then, never actually tried it.
[10:11] <ActionParsnip1> natsukashi_: no it wont, you will need to reinstall NTLDR with your windows CD
[10:11] <ukubuntu> ActionParsnip1: Many thanks, that does indeed work
[10:11] <ActionParsnip1> ukubuntu: sweet
[10:12] <bolt> oCean_: seems like a bad idea to try and keep two or more machines in sync using that method, and then have any packages you actually uninstall exist only on the others. seems i'll have to script this. suppose i could --get-selections on both machines, diff the files and mark any that are only on the left side for uninstall
[10:14] <suma1> how to extract a .deb package through terminal
[10:14] <yacc> Any idea why my Ubuntu 8.10 does not recognize my second CPU core? (root=/dev/mapper/andi--lap-root ro vga=normal quiet splash noapic nolapic irqfixup i8042.nomux=1 resume=/dev/mapper/andi--lap-swap_1 )
[10:14] <ActionParsnip1> suma1: dpkg x <deb file> (i think)
[10:14] <oCean_> bolt: I guess you're right. There might be some other solution somewhere (on the web) But I never gave it that much thought, really
[10:14] <tsimpson> suma1: dpkg-deb --extract
[10:15] <ActionParsnip1> suma1: http://vijayk.blogspot.com/2006/01/how-to-extract-files-from-rpm-and-deb.html
[10:15] <suma1> tsimpson: where to put the file name
[10:16] <ActionParsnip1> suma1: as the last argument
[10:16] <ActionParsnip1> suma1: dpkg-deb -x <deb file>
[10:16] <suma1> and also give the destination directory
[10:17] <tsimpson> suma1: just give it a name, it will create the directory
[10:17] <tsimpson> dpkg-deb -x <filename.deb> <directory>
[10:17] <suma1> if i want to create a .deb package, what things are needed?
[10:17] <ActionParsnip1> suma1: i think its -o <directory>   check    man dpkg-deb
[10:18] <ActionParsnip1> suma1: http://www.google.com/url?sa=U&start=1&q=http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-92016.html&ei=z9_RSfXoNYKHtgfb4oWWBw&usg=AFQjCNFH7BKm_okvoBzpq7qVruIBytwFsA
[10:18] <ActionParsnip1> why does google do that
[10:18] <ActionParsnip1> suma1: hit that link and it will tell you, while you read it run: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[10:19] <tsimpson> !packaging
[10:19] <ActionParsnip1> suma1: you'll need it
[10:19] <suma1> ya i look that then tell........

[10:30] <st1x> Hi guys. I have noticed that I can hibernate my ubuntu - which is cool. Is this a specific runlevel? If Not, how can I do this remotely via ssh?
[10:31] <badfish69> how do i find proxies?
[10:31] <st1x> badfish69, you're on #ubuntu? Try google
[10:32] <L3dPlatedLinux> ok I have stopped the torrent like 9 hours ago and now firestarter is blocking a crap load of torrent  why would that still be hitting me?
[10:32] <ChotaZ> jklock: There?
[10:33] <badfish69> st1x: what i mean to say is that for windows, there are proxy sniffers to do that
[10:34] <badfish69> i'm not stranger to the process
[10:34] <deepspring> badfish: are trying to surf anonymously
[10:34] <st1x> badfish69, but why ask in #ubuntu for this?
[10:34] <badfish69> because i'm using ubuntu
[10:35] <badfish69> if i was in windows i could do it
[10:35] <justinbisted> what is the question?
[10:35] <badfish69> deepspring: more or less
[10:35] <deepspring> st1x, there is a thread on the forums about hibernating ubuntu from the command line... but the forums are down
[10:35] <st1x> badfish69, I am always on ubuntu but I don't ask here when I have a problem with my mysql-server or something like that
[10:35] <deepspring> badfish69, you need to install tor and privoxy I think
[10:36] <badfish69> i'm looking for other proxies
[10:36] <deepspring> badfish69, the forums are down at the moment, so I can't drop a link to the relevant how-to
[10:36] <st1x> deepspring, oki - I'll look there when it is up again
[10:36] <badfish69> i already have tor and privoxy
[10:36] <deepspring> ok
[10:36] <badfish69> i want to find open proxies
[10:37] <deepspring> badfish69, I'm sorry to say it, but google is your best bet
[10:37] <st1x> badfish69, do you know google.com? Try to search for "proxy list"
[10:37] <chiiiiiz> Hi,
[10:38] <chiiiiiz> How does one compare thing in command line?
[10:38] <ActionParsnip1> r chiiiiiz: diff
[10:38] <st1x> badfish69, any other totally non-ubuntu related questions?
[10:38] <deepspring> badfish69, http://www.google.com/search?q=proxy+lists&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=pub-2070091971271392
[10:38] <chiiiiiz> I want to compare the content of a .md5 file (there are 6 signatures in it), with the output of the line "md5sum *.rar"
[10:38] <badfish69> i'm asking for a program that crawls for open proxies like the ones i have in windows
[10:38] <badfish69> it's not non-ubuntu related
[10:39] <badfish69> what your problem is, i have no idea
[10:39] <deepspring> badfish69, I'm not aware of anything... but search through repositories in synaptic
[10:39] <badfish69> but eat a dick
[10:39] <badfish69> st1x
[10:39] <Codemaster__> hi guys
[10:39] <Tyrath> !offensive
[10:39] <chiiiiiz> hi
[10:39] <badfish69> ty anyway de
[10:39] <st1x> badfish69, no thank you
[10:39] <badfish69> deepspring:
[10:39] <justinbisted> hi chiiiiz
[10:39] <justinbisted> what up
[10:40] <Codemaster__> i always got a same problem--when i play .avi movies,first time on clean install of system all is ok after i install gstream codec
[10:40] <travmon> is ubuntuforums.org down for anyone else?  i'm getting a database error.
[10:40] <Codemaster__> but after an update (i think)the movie is blur and image is not complete
[10:40] <Codemaster__> when i play movie
[10:40] <st1x> travmon, they are down yes
[10:41] <Codemaster__> how can i fix that problem,i need other codec?
[10:41] <travmon> ok thanks st1x
[10:41] <Codemaster__> the movie sometime is loosing in little square
[10:42] <zimnyx> I can see my soundcard in lspci, drivers are loaded (default ubuntu config with pulseaudio/ALSA), but sometimes sound is not working - similar like device was unaccessible. Do you know any tutorials how to debug it?
[10:42] <zimnyx> Like said it's default ubuntu configuration
[10:42] <the_sniff> what could cause a unixsocket to refuse a connection?
[10:42] <chiiiiiz> ActionParsnip1: can you be more specific? diff myfile.md5 md5sum *.rar would be something OK?
[10:43] <deepspring> badfish69, there is a commandline program in the repositories call proxycheck
[10:43] <deepspring> badfish69, proxycheck is a simple tool that will work on a reasonable *nix system
[10:43] <deepspring> and may be used to quickly check whenever a given host or set of hosts
[10:43] <deepspring> has open proxy server running
[10:43] <ActionParsnip1> !md5 | chiiiiiz
[10:44] <ActionParsnip1> chiiiiiz: if you are checking md5 sums, diff compares 2 files for differences

[10:51] <lockd> ChotaZ: have you tried running it in Wine?
[10:52] <ChotaZ> lockd: yes,but I cant click the agree button
[10:52] <ChotaZ> lockd: =\
[10:52] <justinbisted> or lojack its for recovery of PC's
[10:52] <lockd> ChotaZ: do you have Compiz (desktop effects) turned off?
[10:52] <ChotaZ> lockd: I dont :O
[10:52] <Kissaki> I'm currently running ubuntu live. So I could install any ubuntu package
[10:53] <Kissaki> if that's one...
[10:53] <Shuichiro> hi everyone
[10:53] <justinbisted> and it's a BIOS option and this has a wonderful thing that puts files on a drive and if that drive does not have windows on it it could currept the drive

[10:53] <Shuichiro> I need help with a dual boot vista/ubuntu problem
[10:53] <Kissaki> no, no lojack
[10:53] <ChotaZ> lockd: Is there a way to just disable compiz at once?
[10:53] <justinbisted> oook
[10:53] <lockd> ChotaZ: yeah, set it to None in Appearance
[10:54] <mr-retard> chotaz tried to add the "compiz icon" using your package manager ?
[10:54] <justinbisted> try this do a format on the drive from the BIOS system or from the drive makers
[10:54] <justinbisted> kinda low level and then re setup the drive that might help
[10:54] <ChotaZ> lockd, mr-retartd: yes I have the icon, just dunno how to turn compiz off to try and install the game.
[10:54] <Kissaki> but I'd lose all data on it
[10:54] <chiiiiiz> thanks!!
[10:54] <mr-retard> right click : select window manager metacity
[10:55] <mr-retard> then eventually you need to right click and reload window manager
[10:55] <justinbisted> I thought you where saying you can't get it off it anyways?
[10:55] <Kissaki> hm?
[10:55] <ChotaZ> lockd: didnt work, still cant click the agree button =\
[10:56] <lockd> ChotaZ: can you tab to it?
[10:56] <ChotaZ> lockd: no, its greyed out, I scrolled down the terms of agreement and the button is still greyed
[10:57] <lockd> ChotaZ: yeah, that's become popular with more and more apps lately...

[11:09] <lockd> techouse: wants 2000 euros to do what with the app?
[11:09] <techouse> lockd: just for the plain installation
[11:09] <lockd> ChotaZ: well the key doesn't really matter, the installer might cry but it'll work -- IF the repository is there
[11:09] <techouse> lockd: the app itself is a language database

[11:12] <techouse> lockd: well.....for those things....like 150 eur for adding a user to the mysql database...
[11:12] <techouse> i mean...the made some kind of bill :P
[11:12] <Codemaster__> ikonia,yes but was my mistake cause i didnt know Swap must be max Ram value x 2
[11:12] <techouse> that's what i mean
[11:12] <lockd> techouse: plus, it doesn't look like FrameNet is free, at all
[11:12] <techouse> lockd: it's free, but limited
[11:12] <lockd> it is if you want to rewrite an entire database of English texts
[11:12] <Codemaster__> ikonia,but if my system will not have a problem from that is ok

[11:13] <ikonia> Codemaster__ no problem

[11:14] <Shuichiro> I'm not seeing vista in GRUB, can anyone help?
[11:14] <lockd> techouse: so if you have the license, why do you still need to pay? can't you install it all yourself?

[11:32] <bluenzo> sudo mount <partition name> /media/external
[11:32] <bluenzo> oops
[11:32] <bluenzo> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[11:32] <ActionParsnip1> ChotaZ: how did you install it
[11:33] <ActionParsnip1> bluenzo: what file system is the partition you are mounting?
[11:33] <bluenzo> NTFS
[11:33] <rtorrent> Boohbah: how do i do this???

[11:35] <rtorrent> it said it has started but its still not connecting
[11:35] <ChotaZ> ActionParsnipl: i installed it by running just the last block of commands
[11:35] <ChotaZ> how can I uninstall it now?
[11:35] <ActionParsnip1> did you change edgy to the name of your install (hardy / intrepid / jaunty)
[11:36] <ChotaZ> i ran just these
[11:36] <ChotaZ>  wget http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/downloads/ies4linux-latest.tar.gz
[11:36] <ChotaZ>  tar zxvf ies4linux-latest.tar.gz

[11:36] <ChotaZ> sorry about that
[11:36] <Jimi_Neutral> Can someone please point me in the direction of a good knowledge base for Clonezilla
[11:36] <ActionParsnip1> ChotaZ: ok then all you have to do is delete the folder you installed to (the default is ~/ies4linux)
[11:36] <ChotaZ> actionparsniple: thanks a lot ;)

[11:42] <ActionParsnip1> ChotaZ: if you install that deb you will need to satisfy the dependancies yourself
[11:43] <ChotaZ> ActionParsniple I can use deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main as a repo aswell right?
[11:43] <Boohbah> rtorrent: are you sure your server is listening on the port number you're connecting on?
[11:44] <user01> is ghostnet and the april 1st a linux concern?

[11:47] <Bacta> Why does 9.04 beta look like 8.10?

[11:48] <apple> wokanbudong
[11:48] <rtorrent> is there a command i can try to see if it is

[11:50] <vieq> hello all guys, NFS common utilities is giving me a hard time http://pastebin.com/m1f6d8279
[11:51] <vieq> Help!!
[11:51] <vieq> I googled and I got this !! http://www.gs1.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1069208
[11:51] <Jimi_Neutral> Ok that link I was given doesnt really help. See my problem is that my boss wanted this Ubuntu box built with clonezilla put on it to clone Windows to a load of laptops.
[11:52] <Ned__> quibbler, since I haven't learned how to configure properly, maybe I should just leave leave the configuration settings for now and just click on "To be removed"?
[11:53] <ActionParsnip1> vieq: you could use: sudo dpkg --force-all -i <deb name>   in your apt cache folder to force it to install
[11:53] <vieq> checking
[11:53] <quibbler> Ned__, i think best...if you experience problems you can always uninstall completely later
[11:54] <bluenzo> actually
[11:54] <Ned__> quibbler, ok thanks I'll leave the configuration settings for now

[11:57] <Tyrath> ActionParsnip1: any other ideas?
[11:57] <Tyrath> ActionParsnip1: could it be gXine related? or due to an update?
[11:57] <duhongbo> i will try
[11:57] <ActionParsnip1> Tyrath: thats all i know, i dont use mics and have never had an issue with alsa
[11:58] <vieq> ActionParsnip1, same error :S
[11:58] <tehbaut> how do I md5 a file from terminal?
[11:58] <Tyrath> ActionParsnip1: no worries. just a question tho. if I'm using a mic should it be showing up in lsusb, aplay -l, or arecord -l ?
[11:59] <mobi-sheep> I'm curious. I had installed Jaunty few days ago (That's not the case anyway) on the laptop.  The case was that since this is laptop, I was wondering about the package 'laptop-net' & 'ubuntu-laptop-mode' and if I should install since the package 'laptop-detect' & 'laptop-mode-tools' are already installed.  Those packages sounds very similar.
[11:59] <ActionParsnip1> Tyrath: if its usb, then lsusb should show it
[11:59] <ikonia> mobi-sheep: if you want jaunty support check out #ubuntu+1 channel
[11:59] <vncd> tehbaut, md5sum <filename>
[11:59] <ActionParsnip1> !md5 | tehbaut
[11:59] <erUSUL> tehbaut: md5sum file
[12:00] <mobi-sheep> ikonia: This have nothing to do with Jaunty in first place.
[12:00] <ikonia> mobi-sheep: thats fine, I didn't say it did, I was just passing you the info
[12:00] <raven> FSPOT does not import the thm files from my CANON camera - but i need theese files for naming the AVIs - who can help me?
[12:00] <tehbaut> and is there a way to open a new terminal window to a specific directory that I'm currently browsing in from the explorer (or whatever linux calls it)
[12:00] <mobi-sheep> ikonia:  Oh alrigh.  Thanks for the info. :)
[12:00] <hiena> HEY i have a md5 fime what should i do with it ??
[12:00] <vieq> ActionParsnip1, I got it solved
[12:00] <hiena> file*
[12:00] <Tyrath> ActionParsnip1: it plugs into a circular mic port. Not sure if that means it's usb or not...
[12:00] <erUSUL> tehbaut: nautilus-openterminal iirc
[12:01] <ActionParsnip1> vieq: how did you do it?
[12:01] <vieq> I did sudo dpkg --purge nfs-common
[12:01] <vieq> then
[12:01] <erUSUL> tehbaut: nautilus-open-terminal
[12:01] <vieq> sudo dpkg --force-all -i <pkg-name>
[12:01] <ActionParsnip1> Tyrath: if it plugs into the soundcard it does not need any individual config as long as the sound card is configured right
[12:01] <tehbaut> erUSUL: how does that work?
[12:01] <ActionParsnip1> vieq: great way but use it sparingly
[12:02] <vieq> dpkg -C show's no errors or half configured pkgs
[12:02] <erUSUL> tehbaut: install it and the a new item appears on the right click menu
[12:02] <vieq> Thank you
[12:02] <tehbaut> ahh
[12:03] <hiena> hey i have downloaded a iso with md5 !! how should i burn the cd and do what with the file??
[12:03] <erUSUL> tehbaut: nautilus is the file browser of gnome
[12:03] <erUSUL> !md5 > hiena
[12:03] <erUSUL> !burning > hiena
[12:03] <ActionParsnip1> hiena: open the iso with your cd burning app
[12:03] <tehbaut> erUSUL: cool, good to know
[12:03] <hiena> erUSUL i know whatm is md5 but whats should i do with it
[12:03] <Tyrath> ActionParsnip1: ahh. so there's no config prog, file for modifying that other than volume control, right?
[12:04] <tehbaut> hard to type for the moment, but otherwise useful to reference in the future
[12:04] <ActionParsnip1> Tyrath: right, thats the beauty of standar 3.5mm jack mics
[12:04] <erUSUL> hiena: verify that the iso is not corrupted
[12:04] <ActionParsnip1> Tyrath: usb mic adds a whole extra dimension and frankly i'm confused why they even exist
[12:04] <TMnick> irc://irc.atomic-critten.datapunt.nl/zuul-central-xdcc
[12:05] <tehbaut> erUSUL: do I need to restart after installing?
[12:05] <tehbaut> I'm not seeing the new menu items
[12:05] <Guest12887> Perhaps a verry noobish question, but how can I see the IP address of my text based machine?
[12:05] <erUSUL> tehbaut: probably it is enough to close the sesion and log in again
[12:05] <tehbaut> ok, thanks

[12:25] <cristiklein> that is not the issue
[12:26] <cristiklein> ActionParsnip1: the problem is that it does not enable itself, unless I put MODULES="psmouse" in /etc/default/acpi-support and suspend/resume; where should I start?
[12:27] <ActionParsnip1> cristiklein: i'd put that line where you say it needs to go
[12:27] <anon_mir> which folders shoud i backup to backup all user data related to applications etc?
[12:27] <cristiklein> ActionParsnip1: but the thing is, the touchpad should automatically enable itself when pressing the hotkey, without suspending/resuming

[12:32] <ActionParsnip1> cristiklein: if it makes an event in xev you can use that to do some sort of action
[12:33] <simenkm__> Ok Duma, you know anything about how to get FreeNX to take over the Current console like you do with VNC?
[12:33] <player1work> ActionParsnip1: : thanks..but another pile of errors..too big to  paste to the channel :)

[12:33] <stylin> hi. i'm multi-booting Vista and Ubuntu 7.10/8.04/8.10. i would like to uninstall 7.10 and 8.04, leaving Vista and 8.10. what is the easiest/best way to do this ?
[12:33] <cristiklein> ActionParsnip1: correct, and is there some command I could execute for „reset / rediscover the synaptics touchpad *now*”
[12:33] <duma> FreeNX... let me check that out
[12:34] <MenZa> stylin→ Removing the partitions with a LiveCD and merge the empty space with the 8.10 partition :)
[12:34] <stylin> MenZa, that is my tentative plan, but i was wondering if there was something i had to do to GRUB as well ?
[12:35] <Ienorand> stylin MenZa: one would need to edit grub menu as well....
[12:35] <MenZa> stylin→ Um, editing the /boot/grub/menu.lst file to exclude the removed OSes
[12:35] <Ienorand> stylin: but if you're okay with it jusst do it manually, shouldn't be too hard
[12:36] <ActionParsnip1> stylin: backup the original file first, you can play all day as you have a rollback method
[12:36] <cy> hi
[12:37] <cy> hi i have a question...

[12:39] <ActionParsnip1> cy: just make sure they are jaunty ppa's
[12:39] <cy> hi action, thanks. so this just ok?

[12:43] <Ienorand> vixus: apt-get --help | less   ##seems to be "build-dep"
[12:43] <lo127> Ienorand, jfs is grayed-out (can't be selected) and it doesn't look like jffs2 is supported
[12:43] <ActionParsnip1> player1work: if you comment out those repositories in /etc/apt/sources.lst does it work ok?
[12:43] <vixus> Ienorand, yeah that's what I thought
[12:43] <cy> action thanks. but is there actually a big difference when i use ppa for hardy versus jaunty?
[12:44] <ActionParsnip1> cy: its just another repo so no, and please tab complete my nick
[12:44] <player1work> ActionParsnip1: how do i do that? i am a newbie
[12:44] <Boohbah> !tab

[12:45] <CubeBoy> Hi, i have a cube with 4 sides, but on all sides there the same picture, cant i do like i have a different picture on every one of them ? :)
[12:45] <ActionParsnip1> player1work: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:45] <cristiklein> ActionParsnip1: I tried using synclient TouchpadOff = 1; synclient TouchpadOn = 0, but it doesn't reset the device. What else could I try?
[12:45] <player1work> gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:45] <player1work> oops
[12:45] <ActionParsnip1> player1work: and add a # character to the start of the lines defining the repos which are giving you issues
[12:47] <maoam> exit
[12:48] <player1work> ActionParsnip1: : none of these are listed in the sources.list file
[12:48] <CubeBoy> Hi, i have a cube with 4 sides, but on all sides there the same picture, cant i do like i have a different picture on every one of them ? :)
[12:49] <ActionParsnip1> player1work: they must be, thts how apt knows where to look for packages
[12:50] <JohnCane> ActionParsnip1:  Hi,  i know you are bussy, but i have a question if you got time :)
[12:51] <duhongbo> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic_2.6.27-7.16_i386.deb: 无法在安装新的版本前，为“./boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic”做一个符号链接备份
[12:51] <kushalone> Since 9.04 is near release, I decided to try the beta (downloaded March 30, 2009) on Parallels Desktop 4.0 for Mac (4.0.3810) on my early 2006 Intel Macbook with Tiger (10.4.11). I would like to report that Ubuntu seems unable to pick up the cursor from the host. Any ideas?
[12:51] <duhongbo> for help

[12:52] <kushalone> sorry about that, ActionParsnip1
[12:52] <tehbaut_> so can I run my windows partition from wine?
[12:53] <tehbaut_> for quick access to windows apps on the fly
[12:53] <hhp2k> Morning everyone on the East Coast :)
[12:53] <Ienorand> lo127: Yea, it seems to be unavailable for mee too, maybe gparted doesn't support writing it... You could always create an unformatted partition in gparted and then use "mkfs.jfs": http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl8_mkfs.jfs.htm
[12:53] <hhp2k> Quick question for anyone who knows - Does Rythmbox Music player have an equalizer
[12:54] <ActionParsnip1> player1work: comment out the bottom 6 lines that you have added
[12:55] <tehbaut_> is it possible to boot a windows partition AND run it in wine? (not simultaneously of course)
[12:56] <|f|> how do I get syntax hilighting in vim? I installed vim-latexsuite but I dont see any colors
[12:56] <cristiklein> |f|: :syn on
[12:56] <tjoho> something strange happend yesterday, after removing "Not installed (residual config)" files. I could not login. If i typed the correct password I just bounced back to the login screen, if i typed wrong it correctly pointed out that it was the wrong pass. I read somewhere to remove libpam-smbpass and after that it worked again, i just want to know, was i hacked or something?
[12:57] <Ienorand> tehbaut_: you don't run the partition in wine, only specific win programs which you normally have to install inside wine
[12:57] <sipior> tehbaut_: yes, in principle, although i believe the wine folks recommend that you don't do that :-)
[12:57] <|f|> cristiklein: thank you :)
[12:57] <ActionParsnip1> !chinese
[12:57] <cristiklein> |f|: np, you should add this to your ~/.vimrm file :D
[12:57] <tehbaut_> so can I take my existing partition and package it into a VM disk for wine?
[12:57] <lo127> Ienorand, Cheers, I will give it a try
[12:58] <jrib> |f|: by default ubuntu comes with vim-tiny.  Have you installed a fully-featured vim package?
[12:58] <Ienorand> tehbaut_: yes, but for this you would use kvm and qemu, virtualization... not wine.
[12:59] <tehbaut_> lenorand, never heard of qemu
[13:00] <tehbaut_> so wine isn't a full VM then?
[13:00] <player1work> ActionParsnip1: ok...but i didnt add them :)
[13:00] <ActionParsnip1> !qemu
[13:01] <ActionParsnip1> player1work: comment them out one line at a time, then try to update, some or one is bad
[13:02] <tehbaut_> qemu shall be my route, thanks :)
[13:05] <player1work> ActionParsnip1: :ok the errors are gone...but i still dont see the application in the menus
[13:05] <ActionParsnip1> player1work: what app?
[13:06] <ActionParsnip1> !8.10
[13:06] <ActionParsnip1> can anyone tell me the EOL for intrepid please
[13:06] <ActionParsnip1> !intrepid
[13:07] <player1work> ActionParsnip1:  i was trying to install inkscape originally...maybe i misunderstood......the steps we just did fixed the add/remove problem or installed the app?
[13:07] <bazhang> ActionParsnip1, april 2010
[13:08] <player1work> ActionParsnip1: : its working now...thank you
[13:08] <ActionParsnip1> player1work: just need to clear those errors or no installs will take place
[13:08] <ActionParsnip1> bazhang: ty man
[13:08] <epscylonb> say i am in a directory and I want to delete all files that end with certain letters recursively, how do i do that ?, "rm -r *.delete_me" doesn't seem to work
[13:09] <vitopoma> i wanted too try kde4 nightly in ubuntu jaunty. it is possiblr?
[13:09] <vitopoma> i wanted too try kde4 nightly in ubuntu jaunty. it is possible?
[13:09] <in-code-we-trust> possible
[13:09] <in-code-we-trust> just get kde4 meta package
[13:10] <vitopoma> it says to me it needs libexif2-4 but i have only newer versions of libexif
[13:11] <vitopoma> libexiv
[13:11] <in-code-we-trust> I think that is not a big problem
[13:11] <peterpan> how do i get teeworlds sound to work. also something keeps stealing its mouse cursor.
[13:12] <vitopoma> i inserted the intrepid repositories. do they work? do i have to force installation ?
[13:12] <in-code-we-trust> hmmm
[13:13] <vitopoma> aren't there neon repositories for jaunty?
[13:14] <vitopoma> maybe is better to wait?
[13:19] <ActionParsnip1> vitopoma: amarok 2.0.2 and kde 4.2 is default in kubuntu jaunty so neon isnt needed really
[13:20] <amigo_rich> epscylonb: You could use find to do that "find dir/ -regex ".*\.foo" -delete" or something similar.
[13:21] <tawmas> Hi all! Do you know if there's a general problem with the forums? I found I'm unable to login, and therefore to post
[13:21] <vitopoma> i know that :). it is also very stable
[13:21] <epscylonb> amigo_rich: ahh right, thanks
[13:21] <ace_suares> hi, anyone know in which package I can find 'msgcat' ? (Not the perl module)
[13:22] <LivingDead> is it possible to make a auto start gui program to start in a selected workspace?
[13:23] <stewart_> anyone having trouble booting jaunty from sun vmbox?
[13:23] <replicant> hi people, i wonder if someone can recommend me a CMS like Plone. I like the workflow stuff but hate Zope... any help?
[13:24] <ActionParsnip1> stewart_: did you md5 check the iso you are booting?
[13:24] <ActionParsnip1> replicant: Plone?
[13:25] <stewart_> ActionParsnip1: i didnt.... i managed to get the iso installed..... its just that it wont boot once the install has finished
[13:25] <peterpan> how do i get teeworlds sound to work. also something keeps stealing its mouse cursor.
[13:25] <ActionParsnip1> stewart_: then head to #ubuntu+1  i would check the iso, if its bad you will get a bad install
[13:25] <replicant> yes Plone (plone.org)...
[13:25] <Steff> Hi people, I have a question regarding some kind of UNIX software, which is able to measure the transfer rate between 2 XP machines? They are connected by a switch and the file transfer is transmitted with FTP.
[13:26] <vitopoma> another question :)
[13:28] <ActionParsnip1> Steff: then i'd ask in ##windows if both are XP
[13:28] <Steff>  Yeah, sorry guys.. I am monitoring on a third machine.
[13:29] <ActionParsnip1> Steff: a client like filezilla will show you the transferred data as well as time taken

[13:35] <vitopoma> i have installed cairo-dock and i want it gnome but not in kde. also i want some other applications that autostart in gnome don't start in kde and i want to start some other apps only in kde. i know how to do it manually (edit the files in ./config /autostart/*.desktop and add OnlyShowIn=KDE or GNOME) but is there a better gui than the default for kde and gnome to setup the autostart (or is there a smarter way to do so?) the problem is that if in the g
[13:35] <vitopoma> ui i add or remove or add an application from autostart it is added or removed in all environments
[13:35] <fine> great

I have formerly lived in Copenhagen, Denmark and now live in Stockholm, sweden - but I cannot be allowed to set Stockholm as new location. Get a DBUS timeout, and no other feedback.
[14:00] <jasballz> nathan7: thx
[14:01] <nathan7> wedgeV: Try apt-get installing smbfs.

[14:04] <Caesi> quibbler : thanks
[14:04] <clinton> well I am trying to install a 56k dial up modem in linux ubunty
[14:04] <clinton> ubuntu sorry
[14:04] <clinton> and I have successfully installed the driver for the modem
[14:04] <nikos> erUSUL: is this a epository?
[14:05] <clinton> deb package
[14:05] <erUSUL> nikos: one for a hellanzb frontend (gui) it may be easier for you
[14:05] <clinton> the modem is installed
[14:05] <nikos> erUSUL: thats great!thanks a million!
[14:05] <clinton> and I goto the ubuntu official documents
[14:05] <nikos> hellanzb for consoel ws very hard
[14:05] <clinton> to read up how to setup a connection with the modem
[14:06] <ActionParsnip1> !dialup
[14:06] <archman> hello all!!!
[14:06] <bradcovey> does anyone know if the ati cards still have compatibility issues with ubuntu for 3d rendering? im considering buying one
[14:06] <clinton> but I cannot find the item on the menu that the documentation refers to - System > Administrators > Network, I cannot find this
[14:07] <ActionParsnip1> !hcl | bradcovey
[14:07] <clinton> any one some help - System > Administrators > Network .... cannot find on Ubuntu 8.10
[14:07] <nicklas_> yo
[14:07] <archman> ActionParsnip1, lets say that I want to install ubuntu intrepid (alternate) from scratch without DE, and I want to install xfce later (not xfce-desktop package); you got some good tutorial for me?
[14:08] <nathan7> archman: Try using the minimal CD. !minimal
[14:08] <nathan7> !minimal
[14:08] <ActionParsnip1> archman: you can install xfce4 and it will give you the desktop as far as i remember
[14:08] <BlackCoffee> clinton: perhaps what you're looking for is -System>Prefs>Network configuration
[14:08] <ActionParsnip1> archman: the minimal guide is good too, nice one nathan
[14:08] <bradcovey> clinton: in 8.10 you use network tools or you can right click in the top right on you connection and go to edit connections
[14:08] <BlackCoffee> ?
[14:08] <lockd> archman: xfce4 will depend on Xorg and other needed packages
[14:09] <archman> ActionParsnip1, yes, I'm using it now, but want to reinstall all from scratch (too many crap on my system now...)
[14:09] <ActionParsnip1> archman: thats the bane of ubuntu
[14:09] <archman> ActionParsnip1, :-/ :D:D
[14:10] <clinton> yeah I get network in prefs but then if you go on to read the instructions you realise that it isnt what they looking for and it seems I am missing Network
[14:10] <archman> nathan7, thanks! I'll check it out...
[14:10] <clinton> please refer to this document and see for yourself
[14:10] <nathan7> archman: Yw.
[14:10] <ActionParsnip1> archman: you could install lxde instead, i dont think it comes with any guff afaik
[14:10] <clinton> https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/internet/C/modem-connect.html
[14:10] <clinton> please refer to above link to official doc on ubuntu site on how to connect to a modem
[14:10] <clinton> in Ubunty
[14:10] <clinton> Ubuntu
[14:11] <clinton> and see why I am confused
[14:11] <archman> ActionParsnip1; yes...but I like xfce more, it feels more "mature"...so with xfce I'll have some heavy deps problems?
[14:11] <jared_> How can i get Ricoh Cardread in INtrepid to run properly ??
[14:12] <Hlini> Hello everyone. Whats up with the forums?
[14:12] <nathan7> jared_: Hm, whaddya need that for?
[14:12] <ActionParsnip1> archman: well any gui environment will need an X server, they will all be handled by apt-get
[14:12] <ActionParsnip1> archman: you will also need to install and configure sound
[14:12] <clinton> BlackCoffee are you catching this
[14:12] <jared_> nathan7: i need it so i can copy pictures from my mobiles memorystick
[14:12] <azlon> !rar
[14:12] <nathan7> jared_: And you can't do it without?
[14:13] <archman> ActionParsnip1; I'm ok with that, I just don't want for example, Totem player "thrown to me" and can't remove it, like now...
[14:13] <nathan7> s/rarsoft/a bunch of retards/
[14:13] <jared_> nathan8: it takes way too long with Bluetooth, even if it wouldnt quit in between
[14:13] <BlackCoffee> yes and it seems it's out of my range of ubuntu knowledges
[14:13] <jared_> nathan7: thing is, i was able to use it back in gutsy times
[14:13] <nathan7> jared_: I mean, just put in the card?
[14:14] <tomaz> people, I'm using nvidia-proprietary, and when I run glxgears, I get Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual.
[14:14] <jared_> nathan7: no output in dmesg if i do that
[14:14] <clinton> thanks anyway BlackCoffee
[14:14] <nathan7> jared_: =O
[14:14] <nathan7> tomaz: Use nv.
[14:14] <archman> ActionParsnip1, so alternate or minimal will not fix my sound automatically?
[14:14] <tomaz> nathan7: but then I don't get a good composite, right?
[14:14] <Hlini> Is anyone else having problems accessing ubuntuforums.org?
[14:15] <nathan7> tomaz: You do.
[14:15] <saulo> opa
[14:15] <edthefox> I am
[14:15] <tomaz> hm... TwinView too?
[14:15] <BlackCoffee> anyway,for what i've seen,the real hardcore ubuntu helpers come out at night,there are some guys who seem to have an answer for every single problem
[14:15] <azlon> I installed unrar non-free version, but it won't open .r01, r02, etc... is there a package that will allow me to open these?
[14:15] <jared_> nathan7: i donwloaded a driver sdricoh_cs, which doesnt make any difference... i am not able to patch tifm_sd to work correctly
[14:15] <nathan7> tomaz: Although a reinstall usually fixes things.
[14:15] <saulo> I Am Fron Brazil
[14:15] <saulo> tem algum brasileiro ai ????
[14:15] <tomaz> nathan7: I just removed and reinstalled.
[14:15] <ActionParsnip1> archman: minimal wont as far as I know, ive never done an alternate but i'd imagine it would
[14:15] <lockd> azlon: those are fragmented archives. not sure if you can just cat them together or not
[14:15] <tomaz> saulo: yes, there is, me for instance. please dont talk in portuguese here.
[14:15] <nathan7> saulo: #ubuntu-br
[14:15] <ActionParsnip1> !br
[14:16] <lockd> azlon: try `cat file.r01 file.r02 ... > file.rar`, no idea if it'll work
[14:16] <faeryan> BlackCoffee: I've always found help during the daytime (GMT+2)
[14:16] <saulo> tem alguem do brasil aqui nesse canal ?
[14:16] <azlon> lockd: thanks, ill give it a try
[14:17] <Myrtti> !pt | saulo
[14:17] <tomaz> nathan7: I installed nvidia-proprietary ( 180.37 using the installer providade by ubuntu ) and things worked. then, in my infinite wisdom I'v tried to upgrade to 180.44 following nvidia's instructions.
[14:17] <hbekel> azlon: you just have to give unrar the .rar file, it'll pick up the pieces
[14:17] <BlackCoffee> faeryan:i never...actually last nite i solved my last problem at 2 AM(gmt-4)
[14:17] <BlackCoffee> so yeah,i barely slept 4 hours :(
[14:17] <archman> ActionParsnip1, btw.: I experience some gain in boottime after upgrading. You? Or you did fresh install?
[14:17] <nathan7> tomaz: I recommend 177.
[14:17] <azlon> hbekel: I double clicked on the rar, but when archive manager opens the archive is empty
[14:17] <nathan7> tomaz: My friend had probs too.
[14:17] <faeryan> BlackCoffee: You had some issue right now?
[14:18] <hbekel> azlon: commandline
[14:18] <lockd> hbekel: wait, multipart RAR archives start at .rar or .r01 or what?
[14:18] <tomaz> things got messed, and I tried to reinstall 180.37, but then things still got problems
[14:18] <Shoopuf> Hello. I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 and my 3rd-party hardware driver... I would like to install some new themes, but I am not sure what kind to use. Should I D/L Compiz or Metacity or Beryl or ??
[14:18] <BlackCoffee> actually no,i just like to read,i've learned quite a lot just idling here :D
[14:18] <tomaz> there's a way to get back to ... "factory-defaults" ?
[14:18] <faeryan> Same thing.
[14:18] <clinton> anyone please help: installed modem drivers in Ubuntu 8.10 and now I am trying to connect with the dial up modem and I have tried following the instructions given on Ubuntu doc site: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/internet/C/modem-connect.html - connecting a modem in Ubuntu, but it seems I dont have the menu item this document refers to and I made sure that I am following the right docs for the right Ubuntu version. Please anyone with some k
[14:18] <grawity> lockd: I think the first part is always .rar
[14:18] <hbekel> lockd: multipart starts with a .rar and then r01 etc
[14:18] <faeryan> And compared to my other channels this one is always active
[14:19] <BlackCoffee> totally,it's always full too
[14:19] <ActionParsnip1> tomaz: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will set your xorg.conf to failsafe
[14:19] <lockd> azlon: hope you didn't overwrite the .rar file in that sequence
[14:19] <Chiselhuk_plus1> What program can I install to view .3gp files please?
[14:19] <tomaz> ActionParsnip1: since xorg 1.6, that command is only setting things like keyboard. =/
[14:19] <faeryan> Actually the first is rar, but the second one is r00, not r01
[14:20] <ActionParsnip1> !rar | faeryan
[14:20] <faeryan> But since it goes automatically from rar it doesn't matter
[14:20] <nikos> erUSUL: thank you very much, lottanzb sio very nice
[14:20] <clinton> anyone very knowledgeable with Ubuntu 8.10
[14:20] <theDigitalAngel> Any idea how to use CVS through an http proxy?
[14:20] <ActionParsnip1> tomaz: it also sets video
[14:20] <erUSUL> nikos: no problem; google is your friend if you know what to look for XD
[14:20] <nikos> can you also sue\ggest me aligth and straighforward mail client?
[14:20] <ActionParsnip1> tomaz: keyboard is managed by hal now
[14:20] <grawity> nikos: I like Thunderbird.
[14:20] <faeryan> ActionParsnip1: Thanks, but I know rar.
[14:20] <nikos> apart from t-bird and evolution
[14:21] <grawity> nikos: Why not TB?
[14:21] <erUSUL> nikos: i use evolution myself (asnd claws mail) some prefer Thunderbird
[14:21] <tomaz> ActionParsnip1: I'm using 9.04 Rc ( or beta, dunno, last upgrade. )
[14:21] <tomaz> ( actually, this is the correct # for a pre release? )

[14:21] <adred> USB startup disk creator broke my flash drive. It won't automount on boot anymore. is there any workaround for this?
[14:21] <ANTRat> !jaunty | tomaz
[14:21] <Shoopuf> What type of theme should I be using? Compiz or Beryl or Metacity or what?
[14:22] <tomaz> ah, thanks ;D
[14:22] <e521> Is it possible to play sounds with 2 apps contemporary? Let's say play a video with vlc and a flash with firefox. I've installed 8.04 64bit
[14:22] <grawity> nikos: How about Alpine? (it's a terminal app)
[14:22] <nikos> sounds nice
[14:22] <nikos> ill apt-get it
[14:22] <nikos> is similar to pine?
[14:22] <grawity> nikos: Yes... Alpine *is* an open-source version of Pine.
[14:23] <faeryan> Shoopuf: Any is good if you like it. Metacity is default, for more eye candy Emerald that pairs with Compiz.
[14:23] <erUSUL> !who | nikos
[14:23] <erUSUL> nikos: you meant claws mail ? no it is gui... you have pine and mutt in ubuntu if you prefer them
[14:24] <nikos> grawity: does puine have a front-end?
[14:24] <grawity> nikos: What frontend?
[14:24] <Shoopuf> faeryan: OK thanks, I'll just use Metacity then
[14:24] <ActionParsnip1> tomaz: me too
[14:24] <nikos> grawity: does pine or mutt have a front-end?
[14:24] <grawity> nikos: Why the hell would it need a frontend ...
[14:24] <nikos> :)

[14:37] <zxxd> ziroday: take over the world
[14:37] <zxxd> ziroday: hmm
[14:37] <nicklas_> which torrent client do you guys use?
[14:37] <ikonia> Nithrin: just a supported hardware accelration card
[14:37] <sebsebseb> nicklas_: Ktorrent
[14:37] <ziroday> !best | nicklas_
[14:37] <ActionParsnip1> nicklas_: ktorrent
[14:37] <mrasty> anyone know how to fix the missing window border problem with compiz and older NVDIA graphics cards ?
[14:37] <stepnem> nicklas_: transmission
[14:37] <grawity> nicklas_: I use uTorrent, but it's not available for Ubuntu :> I like Transmission too.
[14:37] <ActionParsnip1> mrasty: you need extra xorg.conf options
[14:38] <mrasty> but it used to work ???
[14:38] <sebsebseb> nicklas_: Transmission if the torrent opens up in that, but otherwise  Ktorrent much better :)
[14:38] <clinton> ActionParsnip1: forgive me but what do you mean by se Pastebin -- newbie :-[
[14:38] <cuongpv> hello
[14:38] <mrasty> thanks what extra xorg.conf options ?
[14:38] <ActionParsnip1> mrasty: the addargvisuals (i think its that) you will need, theres 2 to add
[14:38] <ActionParsnip1> !paste | clinton
[14:38] <nicklas_> ok so people mostly use transmisson or ktorrent, but what about vuze, never tried it?
[14:39] <mrasty> ok cool thanks ActionParsnip
[14:39] <nicklas_> and when have i said that somthings are better than others?
[14:39] <kora-chan> ActionParsnip1: the package containing the lib isnt in the repo anymore, the package is libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 as far as i know, do you nḱnow nay good source to get old libs?
[14:39] <clinton> sorry guys and thanks
[14:39] <e521> can anybody help me pls? I can't hear any sounds from flash videos if vlc is open. only option is to close vlc and restart firefox
[14:39] <ikonia> kora-chan: whoaaa don't get that
[14:39] <zimnyx> How can I install Jaunty from pendrive?
[14:39] <ikonia> kora-chan: mixing and matching that version with current could cause you serious issues
[14:39] <ikonia> !jaunty > zimnyx
[14:40] <mrasty> any one know why the border started to go missing ????
[14:40] <ActionParsnip1> kora-chan: did apt-file not show it?
[14:40] <nicklas_> ziroday, i never said anything was better than other things?
[14:40] <kora-chan> ActionParsnip1: nope
[14:40] <InspectHerGadget> i instaled win32codecs-all and gstream codec for movies but same error
[14:40] <heath|work> Can anyone suggest a diff program for gnome?
[14:40] <Nasra> !webcam
[14:40] <sebsebseb> nicklas_: I  used to use vuze, but without checking the repo I think it may still be known as  Azurues in Ubuntu
[14:40] <InspectHerGadget> which codecs i must instaled to get a clean movie image?
[14:40] <clinton> ActionParsnip1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/141429/
[14:40] <sebsebseb> !azureus >  nicklas_
[14:41] <nicklas_> sebsebseb, its called vuze now
[14:41] <clinton> ActionParsnip1: I have done what you asked me to
[14:41] <ActionParsnip1> kora-chan: then websearch for the file you need, you may need to find it yourself and extract it from a deb
[14:41] <nicklas_> sebsebseb, and its in repos
[14:41] <kora-chan> ActionParsnip1: already googling, but thanks for the hint with apt-file, didnt know that tool until now
[14:41] <sebsebseb> nicklas_: well ok, you can  do vuze if you want, but I think it will still require Java
[14:41] <ActionParsnip1> clinton: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=190728/
[14:42] <ActionParsnip1> clinton: its looking like a winmodem
[14:42] <sebsebseb> nicklas_: I have seen vuze on Windows,   I used to do Azureus in Ubuntu.   ktorrent  looks so much nicer :)  and the features it has and so on,  it's all good
[14:42] <nicklas_> sebsebseb, have restricted extras installed so, its all good
[14:42] <clinton> ActionParsnip1: what do I do in that case
[14:42] <vegpuff> Hi, I have a Dell laptop with ubuntu 8.04, I want to upgrade to 9.04. But I am not connected to internet and I just have the iso. How do I upgrade?
[14:42] <ActionParsnip1> !winmodem
[14:43] <Nithrin> How do I use Desktop cube?
[14:43] <nicklas_> vegpuff, 9-04 isnt released yet?
[14:43] <nicklas_> .
[14:43] <sebsebseb> nicklas_: ok  that's funny we  put, it's all good at basically the same time.   anyway   I  highly recommend you try Ktorrent.  and it's up to you, what you use.   talking about torrent clients to much here, would go off topic
[14:43] <ActionParsnip1> clinton: you have a Conexant Systems, Inc. HSF 56k Data/Fax Modem
[14:43] <vegpuff> yes nicklas_ the test version
[14:43] <n8tuser> vegpuff-> are you sure you want to upgrade? you can install it on a separate partition or virtual machine to test it first
[14:43] <clinton> ActionParsnip1: ok right, I know that, I have installed the driver from the linuxant site
[14:43] <nicklas_> sebsebseb, yeas
[14:43] <sebsebseb> !juanty
[14:44] <sebsebseb> !jaunty
[14:44] <vegpuff> ok n8tuser, I can wait until the 9.04 release, but my question is how do i upgrade with just the iso
[14:44] <nicklas_> vegpuff, why dont you try 8.10 ?
[14:44] <unr3a1> hey all, what would cause Ubuntu 8.04 to suddenly lose the CD drive?
[14:44] <vegpuff> sure nicklas_ , i can try 8.10. how do i upgrade with just the iso?
[14:44] <n8tuser> vegpuff->  none that i know of,
[14:44] <vegpuff> n8tuser: the only way to upgrade is to be connected to internet?
[14:45] <nicklas_> i dont know if you can upgrade with iso
[14:45] <sebsebseb> vegpuff: by what I have seen so far of 9.04  I am not sure if I can recommend loads of people upgrade to it.   however  once  Ext4 is nice and properly stable, that will be something
[14:45] <unr3a1> Like if I go into K3b it says that there is no CD drive, but after a reboot, k3b recognizes it.
[14:45] <n8tuser> vegpuff-> nope, i strongly suggest a fresh install, no upgrage!
[14:45] <zimnyx> ikonia: thanks
[14:45] <souvik> Can u please tell me how to run Lex and yacc program
[14:45] <vegpuff> oh ok sebsebseb
[14:45] <vegpuff> ok n8tuser
[14:45] <clinton> ubottu: thanks man, I am browsing through that link you gave me, hope it helps
[14:45] <Ienorand> vegpuff: See end of http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading if you do want to go ahead with it.
[14:45] <Purveyor> I have recently installed 8.10 using the alternate installation disk because I needed the whole disk encrypted.  How can I find out exactly what was used to do the encryption?  I tried all my normal searches, but can't find anything that will tell me.  I'm pretty sure it's luks, but I need to know the algorithm and key length as well.
[14:46] <souvik> Can u please tell me how to run Lex and yacc program
[14:46] <nicklas_> but dont you think transmission is faster than vuze?
[14:46] <ActionParsnip1> nicklas_: depends on config
[14:47] <sebsebseb> vegpuff: newer is not always better!
[14:47] <clinton> ActionParsnip1: what do you suggest
[14:47] <nicklas_> ActionParsnip1, ok
[14:47] <e521> nicklas_ transmission is so slow
[14:47] <Jimi_Neutral> Can anyone help me with a Clonezilla problem
[14:47] <ActionParsnip1> clinton: i gave you a few links, see what they bring
[14:47] <clinton> ActionParsnip1: about the modem if its a conexant

[14:49] <Jimi_Neutral> Anyone know anything about Clonzilla?
[14:49] <sebsebseb> e521: don't bother with uTorrent in Wine people,   Desktop Linux has loads of good native  torrent programs such as transmission and Ktorrent
[14:49] <vegpuff> sebsebseb: but there are lot of nice features in the new ubuntu
[14:50] <sebsebseb> vegpuff: nothing major,  except optional Ext4 suppourt :D
[14:50] <vegpuff> ok sebsebseb :)
[14:50] <e521> well, trasmission is slow for me, haven't tried ktorrent and deluge tho
[14:50] <souvik> Can u please tell me how to run Lex and yacc program????
[14:50] <ActionParsnip1> e521: there are many torrent clients
[14:50] <ActionParsnip1> !info lex
[14:50] <sebsebseb> !torrent
[14:50] <ActionParsnip1> souvik: lex doesnt exist
[14:51] <ActionParsnip1> !info yacc
[14:51] <ActionParsnip1> souvik: yacc doesnt exist

[14:58] <pablo__> if a machine boots to initramfs waiting for commands, what is the workarround ?
[14:58] <ActionParsnip1> pablo__: sounds like grub isnt right
[14:58] <Jimi_Neutral> Can anyone help me with a Clonezilla problem?
[14:58] <Caesi> !modprobe
[14:59] <eagle> hmm im trying to install ubuntu server jaunty (9.04) ive set up a raid 1 partion for / and onde for /boot. But when im trying to boot i get "file not found". anyone got a suggestion how to solve this?
[14:59] <rickbyrnes> its a dell d 800 with a broadcom 43 wirless chip the hardware driver app know that the driver isn't installed but when i try to install it, it does nothing
[14:59] <Caesi> hullo, can I load *.ko files with modprobe?
[14:59] <ActionParsnip1> Caesi: sure, sudo modprobe <ko file>
[14:59] <ActionParsnip1> !jaunty | eagle
[14:59] <Caesi> ActionParsnip1: thanks
[15:00] <pablo__> ActionParsnip1, the point is i do not know what is the problem, suddenly 1 kernel says " error reading file" and the other what i said before
[15:00] <pablo__> [ActionParsnip1] i do not know if the problem was installing grub2
[15:00] <sebsebseb> eagle: 9.04 is still a development version, and  for real servers  8.04 is recommended,  and  if you just want to say run  Apache or a LAMP set up  you can do it in a desktop version
[15:00] <sebsebseb> !lamp > eagle
[15:00] <pablo__> but it booted ok some times before
[15:01] <Jimi_Neutral> When i get to a certain part in the Clonezilla process it tells me that "The NTFS in this partition is corrupted: /dev/sda1" Im not sure which drive this is pertaining to, the ubuntu server drive or the drive that the image is being taken from
[15:01] <rickbyrnes> plz help me
[15:02] <sebsebseb> !helpme |  rickbyrnes
[15:02] <ActionParsnip1> !grub | pablo__
[15:02] <sebsebseb> !ask |  rickbyrnes
[15:02] <ActionParsnip1> pablo__: use the guide and reinstall grub
[15:02] <sebsebseb> rickbyrnes: nevermind,  I just saw above you did ask first
[15:03] <blinkin_gremlin> is it possible to use the update manager to update to 9.04 Beta from 8.10?
[15:03] <sebsebseb> blinkin_gremlin: yes, and  not really  the best idea
[15:03] <Gnea> blinkin_gremlin: not until 9.04 has been officially released
[15:03] <blackest_knight> stupid question but is there any easy way to put someones nick in a message without having to type the whole thing and how?
[15:03] <sebsebseb> Gnea: that's not true
[15:03] <pablo__> [ActionParsnip1] are you really sure the problem is grub ? how do i reinstall if i can access my system
[15:03] <Gnea> sebsebseb: oh?
[15:03] <grawity> blackest_knight: Type the first two or three letters, then press Tab.
[15:03] <sebsebseb> Gnea: 8.10 can be upgraded to 9.04 beta
[15:03] <blinkin_gremlin> sebsebseb: kk what happens if i skip 8.10?
[15:04] <Gnea> sebsebseb: well, we should tell people how or not advocate it
[15:04] <blackest_knight> grawity:  thanks i appreciate that its been a long term annoyance
[15:04] <ActionParsnip1> pablo__: well grub loads first before linux, so if you dont get a successful linux boot, its grubs fault
[15:04] <sebsebseb> Gnea: yep not advocate it
[15:04] <blinkin_gremlin> (8.10 gave me initramfs errors from the disk)
[15:04] <TheNewGuy> hello every one
[15:04] <Gnea> sebsebseb: :)
[15:05] <sebsebseb> Gnea: I may start telling people to go and put 8.04 on more,  because of what I have seen so far of 9.04.  and how 8.04 is long term suppourt and  8.10 isn't
[15:05] <rickbyrnes> my hardware driver app wont load my driver
[15:05] <pablo__> [ActionParsnip1] but grub passes ok, then i see the kernel lines, and then the initramfs command line, i just try to understand
[15:05] <blinkin_gremlin> i mean, is it an issue of stuff included in 8.10 that 9.04 builds on?
[15:06] <TheNewGuy> I'm looking for some help, I just installed ubuntu 8.10 on my imac 24", and I'm unable to chose full 1900x1280 resolution I want
[15:06] <ActionParsnip1> pablo__: then the kernel isnt being referenced properly in the grub config
[15:06] <eagle> sebsebseb: yes, but  this is a test server, and i want to run 9.04 =)
[15:06] <Gnea> sebsebseb: yeah, 8.10 is geared more towards people who can handle the changes
[15:06] <blinkin_gremlin> oh, you're saying not a good idea to update to 9.04 beta, just wait until final release
[15:06] <pablo__> [ActionParsnip1] but the problem is suddenly in 2 kernels
[15:06] <Jimi_Neutral> Anyone know anythign about Clonezilla?
[15:06] <Gnea> blinkin_gremlin: right. it still has a lot of bugs.
[15:06] <pablo__> but with different results
[15:06] <Gnea> Jimi_Neutral: what about it?
[15:07] <sebsebseb> blinkin_gremlin: if  you want slightly more  newer features then sure ok  9.04 beta,  however those features aren't really worth it.   plus for the main new feature Ext4 suppourt,  you have to clean install anyway,   or get limited  suppourt  by doing something to Ext3.   and since 9.04 is beta and so bugs,  best to wait untill final before deciding to get it or not
[15:07] <Gnea> blinkin_gremlin: a lot of the new features often come with a price: things break easily.
[15:08] <Jimi_Neutral> Well I have installed it and I am trying to do a test clone. It goes ok and then it gets to when it starts to take the image...then i get an error saying that "The NTFS in this partition is corrupted: dev/sda1"
[15:08] <Jimi_Neutral> I have tried two different laptops which I knwo are fine
[15:08] <Jimi_Neutral> But I get the same error both times
[15:08] <ActionParsnip1> pablo__: in any others?
[15:08] <sebsebseb> Gnea: yeah  geared towards people that can handle the changes, such as myself
[15:08] <pablo__> in other 1
[15:09] <pablo__> just says " error reading file"
[15:09] <blinkin_gremlin> Gnea, sebsebseb: gotcha.  it looks from the changelog and such that the initramfs error i was seeing had been fixed and i was hoping to move on up to it
[15:09] <pablo__> and a file i do not remember
[15:09] <blinkin_gremlin> but i will wait until release
[15:09] <pablo__> in the other kernel it does that, and then the pc is halted
[15:10] <pablo__> rare
[15:10] <sipior> blinkin_gremlin: it's only a few more weeks anyhow
[15:10] <pablo__> maybe the grub2
[15:10] <Jimi_Neutral> any idea Gnea?
[15:10] <blinkin_gremlin> next question: any advantages of using Parallels over Win4Lin?
[15:10] <sebsebseb> blinkin_gremlin: your on a Mac????
[15:11] <blinkin_gremlin> n
[15:11] <souvik> Can u please tell me how to run Lex and yacc program????
[15:11] <sebsebseb> blinkin_gremlin: well  Paralllels is only for Mac I thought,  you just said your not on a Mac?
[15:11] <ActionParsnip1> pablo__: Look into reinstalling grub over the top of itself and the kernels will be configured coreectly
[15:12] <blinkin_gremlin> sebsebseb: i could be reading it wrong, it does not appear that is the case.  they have a windows/linux package, but it might be that it needs mac hardware
[15:12] <blinkin_gremlin> will investigate further
[15:12] <sebsebseb> blinkin_gremlin: ok well don't use either of those then :)   http://www.virtualbox.org  and get the binary for Linux hosts,  if you want  USB suppourt, otherwise you can get the OSE (Open Source Edition)  from Ubuntu's repo
[15:12] <sebsebseb> blinkin_gremlin: if your on a PC Virtualbox yep
[15:12] <sipior> souvik: you'll want to check out "flex" and "bison"
[15:13] <speedcore> efterlyser en bra ftp-client för terminalen. vill ha lite "semi-gui" vill ha 2 fält.
[15:13] <sebsebseb> blinkin_gremlin: the manual is good and suppourt channel is here #vbox  and  when you make the virtual hard disk,  put  dynamically expanding, so it does not waste loads of pshyical hard disk space.  and you can make that wahtever size that is availalbe, it's the size the guest vm thinks it has
[15:13] <hbekel> souvik: how about telling us what you want to do?
[15:14] <sebsebseb> blinkin_gremlin: that is manual you download from their site
[15:14] <pablo__> [ActionParsnip1] y think i will use a live cd , mount, and chroot to that /dev, i think i will have to grub packages to install in the live cd, and i will not need to download from internet
[15:14] <RedWar> Anyone know any good conversion spftawre for .dat to mp3 for Ubuntu, also .IFO
[15:14] <blinkin_gremlin> sebsebseb: kk sounds good.  any limitations on windows support (ie stability related)?
[15:15] <tripoa> i get wrong architecture i386 .. . when i try to install some deb .. why? what to do ? i am a newbie to ubuntu
[15:15] <sebsebseb> blinkin_gremlin: not exactly,  maybe  it won't just go full screen,  but  it should be able to.  also the guest additions might be useful that  get installed in the vm.  vm's  may be a bit slower than a hard disk install.  how much RAM you got?
[15:15] <tripoa> trying to install Adobe Flash Player plugin version 10  also happens with flock
[15:15] <souvik> hbekel: I want to run lex and yacc program.....So wat package should I install
[15:15] <azlon> I am trying to install a program on my windows mobile phone but it says I need activesync... is there a way to install from ubuntu?
[15:16] <sebsebseb> blinkin_gremlin:  you can find out more about it in the manual and #vbox
[15:16] <sebsebseb> blinkin_gremlin: ,but that is the one most of us here, will recommend
[15:16] <sebsebseb> blinkin_gremlin: there's also  VMware player and server and such
[15:16] <sipior> souvik: flex and bison, as i mentioned before. these are the gnu versions of the software you want.
[15:16] <sebsebseb> blinkin_gremlin: qemu etc
[15:16] <tripoa> anyone
[15:17] <sebsebseb> tripoa: not avialbe in Ubuntu repo?
[15:17] <sivik> anyone here have nvidia and ubuntu running together?
[15:17] <sebsebseb> sivik: yep
[15:17] <sivik> I keep getting the same error no matter what I do
[15:17] <tripoa> repo?
[15:17] <sebsebseb> !repo

[15:18] <eagle> n8tuser: ok
[15:18] <sebsebseb> sivik: that sounds like one of the newer cards?
[15:18] <Nithrin> How can I fix my sound so I don't have to make it 100% volume so I can reasonably hear stuff?

[15:20] <Guest68978> koeeeeeeeeeee muslim
[15:20] <bolt_> my probloms are gone after getting the new vershon of ubuntu
[15:20] <sivik> sebsebseb, yes i know, but when I did an upgrade to 8.10 the xorg worked but when I did a fresh install of 8.10 due to some harddrive issues, i had to do a fresh install
[15:20] <Guest68978> hellooooooooooooo
[15:20] <Guest68978> koe pakistan say ?
[15:20] <newguy92ccc> h
[15:20] <sebsebseb> sivik: 8.10 and 8.04  not that different.  8.04 long term suppourt.  8.04 as a result isn't really  considered a downgrade, and so nothing wrong with putting that back on
[15:21] <bolt_> i want to make my own theem but i don't know how
[15:21] <sivik> sebsebseb, i understand that
[15:21] <Gnea> !english | Guest68978
[15:21] <sebsebseb> sivik: plus  one other advantage it has, is that KDE3 and 4 are availalbe from the repo, instead of just KDE4 which is the case in 8.10 and 9.04 beta
[15:21] <Guest68978> salaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam
[15:21] <blinkin_gremlin> sebsebseb: yeah, played with vmware player and qemu... did not have good results.  may have been the hw i was using (this was about a year or two ago)
[15:21] <Guest68978> hru
[15:21] <Guest68978> koe muslim hai yaha
[15:21] <unr3a1> I have a tar.bz2 file that I am trying to extract using tar xzvpf and i get an error saying that it is not a gzip file.   does anyone know what would cause this?
[15:21] <RedWar> anyone know of any good file conversion programs for linux, .dat to mP3?
[15:21] <Guest68978> plzzzzzzzzzzzzz
[15:21] <sivik> sebsebseb, i'm not worried about kde
[15:21] <FloodBot3> Guest68978: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:21] <sivik> sebsebseb, i'm not using it
[15:21] <sebsebseb> blinkin_gremlin: ok  Virtualbox then
[15:21] <sivik> nor do i use gnome
[15:21] <bolt_> how can i make my own theme for gnome
[15:21] <sebsebseb> sivik: what do you use?
[15:22] <blinkin_gremlin> sebsebseb: yeah, i'll check it out.  thanks!
[15:22] <bolt_> gnome
[15:22] <sivik> either xfce or blackbox or enlightenment e16 or e17
[15:22] <hatter243> unr3a1, the "z" flag tells tar "un gzip this" if you remove that from your flags, your problem will be solved
[15:22] <sebsebseb> sivik: ok well there we go then, you realy don't need 8.10 or 9.04.  so in that case,  why not put 8.04 back on?
[15:22] <sivik> sebsebseb, true
[15:22] <_Brun0_> Is there a way to auto disable touchpad when mouse is connected?
[15:23] <bolt_> how?
[15:23] <sebsebseb> sivik: and  security upates for 8.04 longer than 8.10.  etc
[15:23] <Guest68978> helllo
[15:23] <Guest68978> khoti k bacho
[15:23] <unr3a1> hatter243, ah, ok.. thanks for the clarification.
[15:23] <sivik> yes, i understand how lts works sebsebseb
[15:23] <bolt_> hello
[15:23] <tripoa> what to put in atp line in thirdparty software ?
[15:23] <newguy92ccc> does anybody here use a ATI X1950pro Super, and failed by installing and configuring the driver? I DID! Can somebody help me?
[15:23] <Jeruvy> !themes > bolt_
[15:23] <unr3a1> hatter243, so a tar.bz2 file is not a gzip file?
[15:24] <bolt_> any one know how to make your own gnome theme
[15:24] <quit> !xorg
[15:24] <sivik> no, tar.bz3 is not a gzip
[15:24] <sivik> bz2*
[15:24] <QaDeS> newguy92ccc: how did you try to install the driver?
[15:24] <unr3a1> sivik, ok... thanks.
[15:24] <hatter243> unr3a1, the extension of a file does not matter, but, frequently a .tar.gz is a gzip or a tgz file
[15:24] <sivik> unr3a1, yw
[15:24] <grawity> unr3a1: .bz2 usually are bzip2 files.
[15:25] <unr3a1> hatter243, grawity, thank you both for the clarification.  much appreciated
[15:25] <tripoa> what to put in the atp line ? in third party software in resources? ... where to get good respo ?
[15:25] <newguy92ccc> QaDes: downloaded it (the new 9.2), executed it as root, choosed default options. After all i typed aitconfig --initial to configure the xorg.conf
[15:25] <unr3a1> hatter243, I forgot about tar.gz files... lol
[15:25] <JuJuBee> Can I create a VPN tunnel from a linux box to a cisco router?
[15:25] <sivik> JuJuBee, yes
[15:26] <QaDeS> unr3a1: use xvjf instead of xvzf and the file will get extracted properly
[15:26] <wtv> tripoa: what package are you looking for?
[15:26] <nikos> why pidgin cant remain as tray icon when i click X?
[15:26] <JuJuBee> How about another linux box?
[15:26] <sivik> JuJuBee, yes
[15:26] <hatter243> unr3a1, you're welcome
[15:26] <grawity> QaDeS, unr3a1: Actually, you don't need the j or z at all.
[15:26] <ikonia> JuJuBee: there is tons of vpn software in the repos
[15:26] <tripoa> anything that contains : web browsers/flash players/videos players/
[15:26] <JuJuBee> sivik: thanks.
[15:26] <sivik> JuJuBee, yw
[15:26] <QaDeS> grawity: really? need to try that next time
[15:26] <JuJuBee> ikonia: suggest one?
[15:26] <sivik> aptitude search vpn JuJuBee
[15:27] <ikonia> JuJuBee: search the repos - try a few, there are a few
[15:27] <ikonia> !vpn > JuJuBee
[15:27] <JuJuBee> Im trying to get an IP phone
[15:27] <kc8pxy> newguy92ccc: what does Xorg.0.log say?
[15:27] <grawity> QaDeS: Recent versions of tar automagically detect the compression.
[15:27] <JuJuBee> ikonia: thanks

[15:28] <bolt_> anyone know how to make your own  icons, e.t.c
[15:28] <ikonia> bolt_: any graphics program - gimp for example
[15:28] <Otanacht> mtPaint is my personal fave bolt_
[15:28] <ikonia> LinuX-N00b: use "pidgin" application
[15:28] <quit> !gtf
[15:28] <scarter4> Linux-N00b: first you should try and find a linux native program to replace your windows app (like pidgin) but if that won't do, you can use wine to run windows programs
[15:28] <QaDeS> newguy92ccc: what exactly happened when you restarted after installing the new driver? didn't X come up at all, or does it still use the open source driver?
[15:29] <Otanacht> pidgin comes across as a great replacement app for most window messaging software in my view
[15:29] <joa_> cheers, does anyone know a boot loader that sits on cd and is able to load usb drives?
[15:29] <bolt_> you make them then how do you get them to work as icons e.t.c
[15:29] <scarter4> Linux-n00b: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine

[15:30] <LinuX-N00b> Ok thanks
[15:30] <unr3a1> also, I want to change the hostname of my computer, and I know I need to edit the /etc/hosts file, but I think there is another file that i need to edit.  am I correct, or will editing just the /etc/hosts file change my hostname?

[15:32] <Picassotamus> !ot | bolt_
[15:32] <nikos> scarter4: thats it no other config in place?
[15:32] <QaDeS> newguy92ccc: if it doesn't give you anything, try "sudo modprobe fglrx" it should give you some error message then
[15:33] <lollies> anyone have idea how i can protect myself ?
[15:33] <scarter4> nikos: the wine config can be found by running "wine-config".
[15:33] <porter1> lollies, from what?
[15:33] <newguy92ccc> okay, thank your for your help
[15:33] <scarter4> nikos: or something like that.
[15:33] <nikos> i dont have to run win as virtual machien right?
[15:33] <lollies> porter1: http://obrazok.eu/files/t58mzmktsp8k1yd6wbzq.png
[15:33] <QaDeS> bolt_: vuze is a good point to start. just need to install it ;o)
[15:33] <QaDeS> but beware, there be copyright dragons
[15:33] <scarter4> nikos: sorry it's "winecfg"
[15:34] <porter1> lollies, is your copy of WoW legal?
[15:34] <nikos> i ahev my setups in a partition. how to runt hem with wine to install them?
[15:34] <lollies> porter1: all copies are legal lol
[15:35] <Ropechoborra> lollies, you dont have nothing to worry about .EXEs in linux
[15:35] <porter1> lollies, then it's probably a false alarm
[15:35] <bolt_> how can i install windows vista  without getting rid of linux
[15:35] <quit> How do I open the Screen Resolution GUI tool?
[15:35] <lollies> no its not
[15:35] <scarter4> nikos: if the windows partition is mounted under linux (you can see it and browse the files) then just run the .exe with wine, no need to "install" it
[15:35] <quit> It's mentioned in the xorg doc but they dont say where to find it.
[15:35] <lollies> Ropechoborra: i dont have fear that i will be infected by viruses
[15:35] <porter1> lollies, the only other guess wolud be that Wow.exe got replaced
[15:35] <scarter4> nikos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine
[15:35] <porter1> Otherwise it should be safe
[15:35] <Picassotamus> nikos: Check out the FAQs on wine's website, winehq.org i believe
[15:36] <nikos> scarter4: it is mounted as /media/Downlaodas and ia hev the setup in front of me but i dotn know hpw to tell ubuntu to open them with wone
[15:36] <Ropechoborra> lollies, so what is the problem then?
[15:36] <lollies> porter1: yes but thats a bad idea x(
[15:36] <sid> Hi everybody! Maybe s.o. can help me with my dual card problem I'm having on a Toshiba Satellite P300 lappy. Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04 aren't able to start the X server after installation or from the live cd. Only 8.04 works. Probably this is due to the two cards (Radeon HD3200 and HD3470) which seem to confuse X. Does anyone know if this will be solved in the near future or how to get around this? Because I'm tempted to give the Laptop back.
[15:36] <porter1> Plus it's a windows exe, and a windows specific virus (indicated by the W32)
[15:36] <cptblood> how can i get my ASUS DH remote to work in ubuntu? i installed lirc and chose ASUS DH Usb as remote control
[15:36] <lollies> Ropechoborra: virus can infect .exe and the sympoms are that i cant run game
[15:36] <scarter4> nikos: from terminal, do wine /path/to/setup.exe
[15:36] <nikos> a ok
[15:37] <porter1> lollies, then reinstall the gabme
[15:37] <NekroJakub> Games? On Ubuntu? Madness...
[15:37] <Ropechoborra> I don't get it.. windows viruses just dont work in linux, if the game is corrupted then just delete it and install it again.
[15:37] <jedimind> can someone help me debug my wifi? It was working fine this morning, i shut down and started my laptop up again; and now im not seeing any hotspots, and i'm not sure where to begin debugging to see whats wrong, any and all help would be sincerely appreciated
[15:37] <porter1> lollies, do you trust Blizzard? That is what this comes down to. If it is a legal copy then it won't be a problem
[15:38] <sebsebseb> depending on the virus it may partly work in Wine, but  not really do anything as such
[15:38] <lollies> porter1: reinstalling game do not solve my problem x(
[15:38] <n8tuser> jedimind-> start with posting your  sudo lshw -C network
[15:38] <Ropechoborra> jedimind, Is your wireless interface up ?

[15:39] <jedimind> yes it is Ropechoborra

[15:39] <porter1> lollies, then there are only two possible problems: it isn't a legal copy, or the installer is infected.

[15:40] <jedimind> n8tuser: how would i go about doing that ?

[15:41] <n8tuser> jedimind-> start with posting your  sudo lshw -C network    into pastebin to get me an idea of what you have
[15:41] <Ropechoborra> jedimind, try ' iwlist wlan0 scan '  if wlan0 is your wireless interface
[15:41] <sebsebseb> Zubuntu: you should tell people what your issue is
[15:41] <lollies> porter1: its not  alarm...i cant start the game because -> Floating point eror i searched on Blizz forums and they say that its Parite.B
[15:41] <Ropechoborra> And paste it in a pastebin :)

[15:42] <cellofellow> meh, not really a Jaunty question.
[15:42] <NekroJakub> quit: Fixing problems with display, refreshing it...
[15:42] <DJones> nikos: "/ignore -channels #ubuntu * JOINS PARTS QUITS NICKS" should stop showing joins/parts etc in irssi

[15:44] <n8tuser> jedimind -> you are being coy, paste the whole info, also include the results of  iwconfig please
[15:44] <robinsmidsrod> have anyone noticed that file -i -b test.doc sometimes returns '\012- application/msword' (without quotes) when it should return 'application/msword' (and sometimes actually the excel mimetype)?
[15:44] <genii> noHDfound: I'd try setting your SATA controller to "Compatibility Mode" or so in bios
[15:44] <J_P> is possible upgrade ubuntu from CD or only via apt?
[15:44] <noHDfound> genii with a kernel parameter at boot?
[15:44] <cellofellow> J_P: yes, you can upgrade from the Alternate CD.
[15:44] <sid> The xorg.conf on 8.04 (which works) shows Driver "fglrx" and in Section Module Load "glx", but the 8.10 xorg.conf just shows Configured Video Device and no Driver line

[15:44] <robinsmidsrod> any idea where to start looking to figure out why it gives this error?
[15:44] <Jimi_Neutral> Can someone help with a corrupt NTFS partition please
[15:44] <genii> noHDfound: No, with DEL or F1 key or whatever you obtain your BIOS screen with

[15:45] <Ropechoborra> n8tuser, whats the meaning of 'coy' ? sorry bad english :$
[15:45] <jedimind> n8tuser: thats all that was displayed when i ran it that was related to wireless, the rest of the info was for my network nic
[15:45] <lollies> porter1: oh and i dont have updated ClamAV....how i can update it ?
[15:45] <jedimind> anyway, i'll paste the whole thing if it helps
[15:45] <cellofellow> J_P: download or use ShipIt and burn, stick it in, and Synaptic should detect an APT CD and offer to upgrade. The CLI way is to use sudo apt-cdrom add; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.
[15:45] <lollies> porter1: theres update button but he say that i need to run it as root and i dont know how
[15:45] <n8tuser> jedimind -> i need all the info, to give you a better advise, including your ethernet,
[15:46] <jedimind> now that i ran it again, it gave me different info for some reason

[15:47] <genii> nikos: The short answer is no
[15:47] <Aloush> I am thinking of switching to ubuntu last time i had the problem of swicthing sound devices from ym speakers to ym headset is there an easy way to do this?
[15:47] <cptblood> (16:40:09) (cptblood) [59212.552836] hiddev97hidraw2: USB HID v1.10 Device [T-wins ASUS DH Remote] on usb-0000:00:0b.0-4 <-- i guess that means it finds it at least
[15:47] <cptblood> (16:41:06) (cptblood) cat /dev/hiddev97 says it doesnt exist tho
[15:48] <cptblood> how can i solve this? i cannot get the remote to work
[15:48] <wtv> Aloush: you can use kmix
[15:48] <J_P> cellofellow: thanks ;-)
[15:48] <oCean_> nikos: use the UUID of drives/partitions to uniquely identify them (or filesystem labels)
[15:48] <Aloush> Kmix can i easily switch with that?
[15:48] <wtv> Aloush: also gnome also mixer
[15:48] <cellofellow> J_P: all good then?
[15:48] <Picassotamus> sid: That would be my guess
[15:48] <n8tuser> jedimind -> iwlist
[15:49] <nikos> genii: soem months ago hdd were called hda/hdb now whya re they called sda and sdb ?
[15:49] <Ropechoborra> jedimind, I think you may try " sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "the name of the wlan" (that appears on the iwlist scan)
[15:49] <wtv> Aloush: if your headphones are detected and all sound devices work, then yes. but you'll have to do it manually everytime you take a switch.

[15:50] <n8tuser> jedimind -> thats a partial info i gave you because you didnt provide all info requested
[15:50] <genii> nikos: All drives use now the SCSI layer of driver, so are named in that way like old SCSI designations of sdX  and not old IDE way of hdX
[15:50] <azlon> SPF: that's it?
[15:50] <jedimind> n8tuser: ..... i pasted exactly everything you asked for ....
[15:50] <SPF> azlon: probably
[15:50] <MyWay> somebody knows a way to empty the trash when i shutdown?
[15:50] <scarter4> yeah I remember when it was /dev/hda*, now it's always /dev/sda*

[15:55] <sid> Picassotamus: I'm a bit of a distribution-junkie! *g* Was used to have one partition just for test-installs on my old lappy, so not being able to use 9.04 or 8.10 is a pita....Apart from that, there's no reason to not use 8.04...Do you think that support for dual cards will be re-added sometime in 9.04? I wouldn't want to be stuck to 8.04 forever.....

[15:56] <JEDIDIAH__> .dat could be anything.

[15:57] <Mer53> Hi there! im a little new here and very new to linux .......... would like a little advice to get me running
[15:57] <cptblood> RedMushroom: install ubuntu from xp
[15:57] <n8tuser> jedimind -> add these lines to that file     iface wlan0 inet dhcp; wireless-essid youAPnamehere;  auto wlan0    then redo that ifdown/ifup routine
[15:57] <nikos> sivik: cant we unmount the partition and then remount them under different mount points?
[15:57] <Zubuntu> Ok so i uninstalled python, and now on boot i get a red * with a no suitable kernal module found
[15:57] <sid> Picassotamus: And I still have the option to give the notebook back and I'm really considering this...
[15:57] <cptblood> JEDIDIAH__: where were you in the mid/late 90's?
[15:57] <RedWar> Yes, there happen to be .IFO files inovlved as well, but to convert these files to mP3.
[15:57] <oCean_> Mer53: ask away. I someone knows the answer, most likely, they will reply
[15:57] <RedMushroom> cptblood: how? i can't even get the comp to read the cd-rom after i burn the iso to it
[15:57] <Picassotamus> sid: Ok, nothing wrong w/ trying different distributions... but what are you talking about re losing dual-card support? You just need to get a different driver loaded. Is proprietary so afaik its not loaded by default, its really easy to do, look at the link i sent you
[15:58] <JEDIDIAH__> Jedi was in the civilized world.
[15:58] <jedimind> n8tuser: so if i said 'pastebin please' id be the dick right ?
[15:58] <cptblood> ah, so your cd-rom is fubar?
[15:58] <NekroJakub> Mer53: If you want to try Ubuntu on Windows without reformatting, try Wubi

[15:58] <n8tuser> !pastebin | jedimind
[15:58] <nado> RedMushroom, you are burning the iso directly ? or are you burning it as an image ?
[15:58] <avuton> In my jaunty install XDG_DATA_DIR doesn't exist, but according to the gmpc maintainer it's supposed to. Is there some package I need to have installed to get it by default?

[15:58] <RedMushroom> i used a program on my vista box to burn an image
[15:58] <nado> RedMushroom, are you basically drag and dropping the ISO on the new CD ?
[15:58] <ubunewbie> greetings all, i've just installed ubuntu 8.04 on my other computer and it boots to command line rather than grub. can anyone help?
[15:58] <RedMushroom> it works on any other computer
[15:58] <RedWar> CPT Blood, not sure yet, the person has not given me the CD yet, but its a possibilty..
[15:59] <Mer53> well I would like to setup my 3rd rig on Ubuntu, so no need to boot from cd.... it is installed but I just want to get it runnig similar software that I currently use

[15:59] <Jimi_Neutral> I am trying to do a clone of an XP installation. This box is ubuntu and I am using clonezilla. Everything has been set up right. When i do a network boot on the laptop it starts Colnezilla np. I run through all the settings until it gets to actually taking the image off the laptop when it then says " The NTFS in this partition is corrupted: /dev/sda1. It then gives me two options, neithe rof which I can understand. Is there anyone who uses Clonezilla
[15:59] <Jimi_Neutral>  here that has come across this problem and knows how to sort it?
[15:59] <sid> Picassotamus: In the link they talk about installing the proprietary driver from the restricted hardware manager which is a gtk program. This option isn't available if I have to install via text-mode and then get thrown to the console without being able to start X...
[15:59] <jedimind> n8tuser: "youAPnamehere" is that the logical name that was displayed in lshw ?
[15:59] <RedMushroom> i just need to know what i need to do to create a floppy disk that i can use to bootstrap this old box with
[15:59] <RedMushroom> so i can install from the cd-rom
[15:59] <jedimind> oh access point....
[15:59] <n8tuser> jedimind -> AP is your access point
[15:59] <NekroJakub> Mer53: Well, I don't what software you're currently using, but googling for linux alternatives of 'em would be a good start...
[15:59] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: well, what are the two options?
[16:00] <cptblood> sry, dont know that
[16:00] <Bulkior> hi, does someone know a solution to the "power-off" problem (can't power off completely on ubuntu installed on a laptop)
[16:00] <RedWar> JediDAH_ ok, so if I use Mencoder/ or Menplayer, there is an option for conversion?
[16:00] <JEDIDIAH__> envyng will setup ati and nvidia drivers and runs in a console.
[16:00] <jedimind> n8tuser: why would i hardcode the access point? .... im on a business trip i have like 12 different APs i need to connect to ....
[16:00] <JEDIDIAH__> mencoder is the converter version of mplayer.
[16:00] <JEDIDIAH__> mencoder has more options than you can handle.
[16:00] <Mer53> I use gimp on windows and noticed it is part of the package ..cool, will nero install on Ubunty 8.10?
[16:00] <Jimi_Neutral> 1. Try to boot the template machine into MS Windows and run CHKDSK /f or chkdsk /p /r then reboot it twice.
[16:00] <erUSUL> jedimind: then you should be using network manager ....
[16:00] <jedimind> I AM
[16:00] <JEDIDIAH__> just use k3b, you don't need nero
[16:00] <jedimind> BUT ITS NOT FUCKING WORKING
[16:00] <Jimi_Neutral> 2. try to let clonezilla use ntfsfix which isnt recomended
[16:00] <jedimind> jesus christ
[16:01] <RichW> does "tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors" mean it has ignored the file it could not read and archived the rest?
[16:01] <Bulkior> hi, does someone know a solution to the "power-off" problem (can't power off completely on ubuntu installed on a laptop)
[16:01] <n8tuser> jedimind -> because nm dont work sometimes, its not too difficult to change it,
[16:01] <sipior> pleasant fellow
[16:01] <macrusher> hello 2 all, my wpa2 encoded wlan network fails to reconnect after suspending. when I have the pwd displayed it is a different one as I provided. but after reboot it is fine... anybody got a clue?
[16:01] <RedMushroom> anybody know how to create a startup disk for ubuntu, so i can install it from a cd-rom?
[16:01] <nado> RedMushroom, here http://linux.simple.be/tools/sbm
[16:02] <NekroJakub> Mer53: I'd google, but I don't think so. Btw, if you want to get someone's attention, spell out his nickname in your message
[16:02] <JEDIDIAH__> "install from a cdrom"? sounds like any ISO out there.
[16:02] <Mer53> or is the preinstalled or  ..........god you guys are way too good at typing ......... I cant keep up with anything you guys say!    does it slow down here at all?
[16:02] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: first option sounds like your best bet
[16:02] <nado> RedMushroom, and this for the howto https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SmartBootManagerHowto
[16:02] <Jimi_Neutral> I dont know which is the template machine...if it is the one with clonezilla on that doesnt even have windows on it and if it is the other one that im taking the image from how can there be a corrupt NTFS partition when it is woeking fine
[16:02] <arvind_khadri> RedMushroom,  system-> administration 0> create a usb startup
[16:02] <RedMushroom> nado: ok, but what boot image am i going to need?
[16:02] <JEDIDIAH__> ...that usb key bood disk generator is really cool.
[16:02] <RedMushroom> can't use a USB stick, the box doesn't support it
[16:02] <nado> RedMushroom, boot from floppy and keep your cd in there
[16:02] <Mer53> ty NekroJakub .........good point, but I think Ill try more googling and come back when I have a more specific problem
[16:02] <RedMushroom> the box only supports booting from the floopy
[16:03] <nado> RedMushroom, if your CD was burned properly it should detect it
[16:03] <RedMushroom>  nado: yeah, but i need to know what to do
[16:03] <NekroJakub> Mer53: Yeah, good luck.
[16:03] <RedMushroom> i've read those pages you linked to, and it doesn't make any since to me
[16:03] <RedWar> JEDIDAH_ Thanks man I' ll try Mencoder, and thanks all for help.
[16:03] <nado> RedMushroom, and allow you to boot from it
[16:03] <JEDIDIAH__> quit abusing time travel for the purposes of finding cheap PC hardware.
[16:03] <nado> RedMushroom, you've read them before or you read them just now ?
[16:03] <RedMushroom> any they're also for USB's for the most part
[16:03] <RedMushroom> yes, i was in here yesterday
[16:03] <Jimi_Neutral> is the template machine the one i am taknig the image form
[16:04] <Jimi_Neutral> from*
[16:04] <NekroJakub> Does anyone here know how can I set up my OpenOffice as sort of an exception for my custom desktop theme? Because I changed my desktop theme to black background, white text and now it's the same in OpenOffice, not very practical for printing...
[16:04] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: well, a corrupt partition doesn't necessarily preclude the operating system from functioning. it's just that clonezilla has found the error and refuses to do any more damage by copying it :-) a number of linux boxes will show minor filesystem damage when examined with fsck, but work perfectly well.
[16:04] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: yes, the template machine is the one providing the image.
[16:04] <RedMushroom> and it seems that nobody understand what i'm asking
[16:04] <nado> RedMushroom, i'm sorry man, but the howto is straight forward
[16:04] <admin_masu3701> what is the best language to write scripts?
[16:04] <nado> it tells you exactly step by step how to do it... if you can't follow that.. nobody will help you..
[16:04] <RedMushroom> I NEED TO USE AN XP BOX TO CREATE A 3 and 1/4" STARTUP FLOPPY TO GET ANOTHER BOX TO INSTALL FROM A CD-ROM!!
[16:05]  * RedMushroom is getting really frustrated
[16:05] <porter1> admin_masu3701, whichever is most comfortable
[16:05] <oCean_> RedMushroom: drop the caps!
[16:05] <mojian> ..
[16:05] <porter1> I prefer python of perl
[16:05] <nado> RedMushroom, that's what the howto does !!!
[16:05] <Jimi_Neutral> sipior: crap lol
[16:05] <porter1> Some peolp like bash scripting
[16:05] <RedWar> Don't get frustrated Redmushroom, patience is a virtue.. :)
[16:05] <Jimi_Neutral> How can three different machines all be corrupt
[16:05] <ubunewbie> hello all, i need to set up a dual boot system should i install ubuntu first or xp first
[16:06] <nado> RedMushroom, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManager
[16:06] <RedWar> Did I say something wrong?
[16:06] <RedWar> He quit
[16:06] <hatter243> ubunewbie, xp
[16:06] <oCean_> RedWar: don't worry
[16:06] <nado> man some people want help without the minimum effort of following a guide
[16:06] <Tcl> hello ....How i  set up my netstick internet (usb) ?
[16:06] <Jimi_Neutral> set up xp forst
[16:06] <Ropechoborra> ubunewbie, I think is better to install windows first, if you install it after ubuntu Windows will erease the mbr and install its own
[16:06] <ubunewbie> hatter243, thanks
[16:07] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: well, the problem may lie with clonezilla, i suppose. you can try partimage, see if that works better for you.
[16:07] <Jimi_Neutral> it is fussier
[16:07] <hacker> hi. i bad speak english.
[16:07] <RedWar> Thanks Ocean, yes I hear you Nado.
[16:07] <Jimi_Neutral> I have tried to download the partimage package earlier and it wouldnt download. Says package cannot be found
[16:07] <hacker> :( you have a Maple 11 for linux?
[16:07] <Jimi_Neutral> which was anothe problem
[16:07] <Ropechoborra> hacker, wich lenguage do you speak? :)
[16:08] <tonymcm> Jimi - Try parted
[16:08] <hacker> russian) русский
[16:08] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: you might check if clonezilla has a forum or the like, see if anyone else has reported the same problem. i assume google was silent on your issue as well?
[16:08] <Jeruvy> !info parted
[16:08] <Jimi_Neutral> thats  probably what it is, for some reason i cant download dbrl-partimage dbrl-ntfsprogs dbrl-chntpw and dbrl-lzop
[16:08] <Ropechoborra> !ru | hacker
[16:08] <Ropechoborra> Hope that helps
[16:08] <Jimi_Neutral> yeah google came up with things but it was all from a live instance of Clonezilla
[16:09] <hacker> thank)
[16:09] <zilleplus> hey someone knows how to install a 5.1 serround i got the drivers of it installed and tested it but don't know how to use it in a programme
[16:09] <ubunewbie> hatter243, is it worth installing ubuntu 9.04 yet?
[16:09] <onats> definitely!
[16:09] <onats> don't hesitate
[16:09] <Jimi_Neutral> couldnt find package dbrl-partimage......wth
[16:10] <Ropechoborra> Why to rush?
[16:10] <nado> onats, do you have an nvidia card ?
[16:10] <onats> ATI
[16:10] <hatter243> ubunewbie, I think not if you're a newbie. I would get used to linux now and then reinstall in April
[16:10] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: it's just called partimage, yes?
[16:10] <Jimi_Neutral> dbrl-partimage
[16:10] <nado> onats, ok was wondering how the update goes with nvidia
[16:10] <onats> had a lot of problems with nvidia card before 8.10
[16:10] <hemanth> which is the best method to recompile linux kernel ?
[16:10] <onats> got fed up, bought an ATI card
[16:10] <tonymcm> Jimi - simply "parted"
[16:10] <nado> onats, it's fine now :)
[16:10] <oCean_> ubunewbie: I agree with hatter243. Still enough breakage in 9.04 to make life difficult.
[16:10] <[pablo]> I have trouble with my ALPS touchpad from my Toshiba Satellite Pro M10. Synaptics module gets uploaded fine when I start gnome, but it complains that it can't find atouchpad
[16:11] <Picassotamus> !kernelcompile | hemanth
[16:11] <[pablo]> so vertical scrolling won't work
[16:11] <ubunewbie> cool, thanks guys
[16:11] <RassBariaw> I used Wubi to install Ubuntu on a Vista machine without a partition and the dualboot worked fine; then I used CCleaner, which found one item, which I deleted, and now the dualboot does not work; how do I check that GRUB is set correctly or how do I repair GRUB?  I suspect that item deleted by CCleaner altered how GRUB functions.
[16:11] <hemanth> Picassotamus, try and failed :(
[16:11] <sipior> tonymcm: i'm fairly certain parted only edits partition tables, and doesn't duplicate partitions like partimage does. or has that changed recently?

[16:12] <divoxx> any tips on how to get ImageMagick to properly work with JPG images?
[16:12] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: on my 8.10 system, the package is partimage. which are you running?
[16:12] <nado> [pablo], but moving the mouse does ?
[16:12] <Jimi_Neutral> well the thing is i followed a tutorial on how to install Clonezilla and it had a list of progs needed to run
[16:12] <Jimi_Neutral> im running 8.10
[16:12] <tonymcm> Sipior - I think you are right. I thought thats what he wanted to do?
[16:13] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: written for some other system...
[16:13] <Jimi_Neutral> no written for 8.10
[16:13] <Picassotamus> hemanth: you will need to ask a specific question  then for help, or maybe put your errors into a pastebin
[16:13] <sipior> tonymcm: no, he was running clonezilla to begin with.
[16:13] <Jimi_Neutral> i will give u the link
[16:13] <aspoor> ?
[16:14] <hemanth> Picassotamus, http://pastebin.com/d28d370ad got tht when i made "make"
[16:14] <Jimi_Neutral> i must admit though, he calls 8.10 Heron http://packratstudios.com/index.php/2008/04/20/how-to-setup-clonezilla-on-linux-ubuntu-quick-start-guide/
[16:14] <[pablo]> nado: yes, moving the mouse works because X loads some generic mouse module to take care of it... but it won't use advanced synaptics features like touchpad scrolling
[16:14] <aspoor> ding ding ding.  Its time to wake up...
[16:14] <Jimi_Neutral> well he says Hardy but u know what i mean
[16:14] <nado> [pablo], check my private message
[16:14] <hemanth> Picassotamus, i even tried this http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu
[16:14] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: he must mean 7.10, since 8.10 wasn't out in April 2008 :-)
[16:15] <Jimi_Neutral> ah ha!
[16:15] <Jimi_Neutral> well im newb to linux so i didnt realise that lol
[16:15] <lewench> im trying to setup my Motorola S9 in my ubuntu (its bluetooth) I followed the instructions to add data in the .asound config file. But I don't see the "bluetooth" option in Audacious. Im I missing something?
[16:15] <sebsebseb> Jimi_Neutral: your trying to do a backup of Ubuntu?
[16:16] <Jimi_Neutral> so im guessing that is where all my problems lie....the fact i have followed a tutorial for 7.10 and i have 8.10
[16:16] <Tcl> i   have a laptop and my internet connection is a a diaalup modem...how i can setit up ?
[16:16] <Mr_Molez> anyone got experience with usb touchscreens ? my mouse moves the wrong way when ever i move it
[16:16] <Jimi_Neutral> no im trying to take an image of the installation of windows from the laptop so i can then clone it to about 60 other laptops
[16:16] <oCean_> !dialup | Tcl
[16:17] <RassBariaw> ubottu: those instructions are slightly complicated; one of them though says to reinstall GRUB by reinstalling ubuntu (but skipping some of the steps); would that work?
[16:17] <RassBariaw> oh....
[16:17] <Jimi_Neutral> on another note, is it possible to turn off all the damn notifications in this channel? Im using Xchant for gnome
[16:17] <Ropechoborra> RassBariaw, lol, that was fun :)
[16:17] <Jimi_Neutral> Xchat
[16:17] <RassBariaw> yeah
[16:18] <Jimi_Neutral> So any idea sebsebseb, sipior
[16:18] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: well, the tutorial covers setting up a bootserver using clonezilla, which isn't quite what you want, i think.
[16:18] <sebsebseb> Jimi_Neutral: any idea for what?  I missed most of it
[16:18] <RassBariaw> Ropechoborra: do you know a simpler way for someone that does not know unix commands?
[16:18] <oCean_> RassBariaw: SGD (super grub disk) is a nice tool to restore/repair grub. See http://www.supergrubdisk.org/
[16:18] <Ropechoborra> RassBariaw, yeap. Wait me i'll search it for you
[16:19] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: why not simply install the partimage package from the main repository? the documentation is clear, and you can set up a partimage server to do what you want.
[16:19] <lollies> !F-Prot
[16:19] <lollies> hmm
[16:19] <Jimi_Neutral> well i would but there are a few problems, i have no idea what im doing and when i try to download partimage it says E: Couldnt find package dbrl-partimage
[16:19] <RassBariaw> oCean: would SGD repair it?
[16:20] <wtv> RassBariaw: you can do it using ubuntu live cd too
[16:20] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: have you tried "sudo apt-get install partimage"? how have you tried to download partimage?
[16:20] <Jimi_Neutral> and yeah i thoguht the tutorial wasnt wuite what i wanted....you see all this has been given to me to do by my boss and im an MCP not a feckin Linux god
[16:21] <RassBariaw> wtv: when I attempted to use the CD that I burned, I was unable to install, so I downloaded the whole file to my hard disk and used WUBI;
[16:21] <g4lt-lappy> Jimbo__, I'm sorry.  have you tried to see someone about that?
[16:21] <MyWay> somebody knows a way to empty the trash when you shutdown?
[16:21] <g4lt-lappy> Jimi_Neutral, ^^^^
[16:21] <RassBariaw> wtv: but, I see instructions for using the CD but some of the instructions are confusing.....
[16:21] <jcapinc> hey I am on a dual screen ubuntu machine with an nvidia card and twinview, does anyone know a good way to make wallpapers display on each indevidual screen and not streached across both screens?
[16:21] <Jimi_Neutral> exactly liek that sipior sudo apt-get install dbrl-partimage
[16:21] <hemanth> Picassotamus, :( ?
[16:22] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: no, without the "dbrl-"
[16:22] <wtv> RassBariaw: lemme giv you a link...
[16:22] <rickest> MyWay: put an 'rm' command in ~/.bash_logout
[16:22] <MyWay> thanks
[16:22] <Jimi_Neutral> ah no i havnt, one sec
[16:22] <shadeslayer> RassBariaw: such as??
[16:22] <and> /server irc.sitilife.ru:6667
[16:22] <and> copy pasr
[16:22] <rickest> MyWay: nm, that's logout not shutdown
[16:22] <and> /server irc.sitilife.ru:6667
[16:22] <and> /server irc.sitilife.ru:6667
[16:22] <and> /server irc.sitilife.ru:6667

[16:22] <and> /server irc.sitilife.ru:6667
[16:22] <and> /server irc.sitilife.ru:6667
[16:22] <Jimi_Neutral> well sod my young backside
[16:22] <nathan7> =)
[16:22] <g4lt-lappy> MyWay, prolly throw it in a script and throw it in rc5.d?
[16:22] <MyWay> it's ok anyway rickest :p
[16:22] <Jimi_Neutral> that worked ty lol
[16:23] <g4lt-lappy> rc6 rather
[16:23] <Ropechoborra> RassBariaw, wich version of ubuntu do you have?
[16:23] <RassBariaw> Ropechoborra: I installed 8.10
[16:23] <Ropechoborra> Ok
[16:23] <Zubuntu> upon startup i get a red * with a "no suiteable kernal module found"
[16:23] <wtv> RassBariaw: did you see this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[16:24] <Zubuntu> then it goes to command like asking me for my username and password
[16:24] <Jimi_Neutral> dont go away though, i might need you again
[16:24] <Zubuntu> its because i uninstalled python
[16:24] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: well, no promises, but there are lots of folks here to help you, in any event :-)
[16:24] <Zubuntu> in systemmonitor there where 2 instaces of it running one was using loads of cpu
[16:24] <Zubuntu> so i thought reinstalling would work
[16:24] <Jimi_Neutral> ok so i have all that installed now
[16:25] <Zubuntu> bad move, can anyone help me
[16:25] <rysiek> hello
[16:25] <nado> Zubuntu, do you remember what you uninstalled exactly ?
[16:25] <RassBariaw> wtv: I saw something similar elsewhere but the commands are confusing.... :-(
[16:25] <nathan7> Zubuntu: dpkg-reconfigure something.
[16:25] <rysiek> guys, I am having problems with utf8 chars and an external ntfs-ormatted harddrive
[16:26] <Tcl> whats the code pls for detecting automat my internet connection ?
[16:26] <rysiek> trying to copy files with polish diacritical chars in filenames gives me this error:
[16:26] <rysiek> Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character
[16:26] <Jimi_Neutral> how do you get it red so u know im talking to you?
[16:26] <wtv> RassBariaw: i didn't find anything simpler. I've used it several times myself
[16:26] <RassBariaw> let me re-read the instructions and I will come back and ask later then
[16:26] <g4lt-lappy> rytry escaping the characters with \
[16:27] <RassBariaw> thank you all for the tips
[16:27] <g4lt-lappy> rysiek, ^^^^
[16:28] <rysiek> g4lt-lappy: I just TABbed the name, so it got automagically escaped
[16:29] <g4lt-lappy> rysiek, it should have, yes
[16:29] <rysiek> g4lt-lappy: besides, in GUI (Konqueror here) world I still get those errors
[16:29] <zxxd> hey
[16:29] <Jimi_Neutral> ok since i installed them progs it doesnt give me the NTFS corrupt error anymore
[16:29] <Zubuntu> Yo
[16:29] <zxxd> where did the file defaults.conf go in gdm package supposed to be in /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf
[16:29] <Zubuntu> yo
[16:29] <jcapinc> hey I am on a dual screen ubuntu machine with an nvidia card and twinview, does anyone know a good way to make wallpapers display on each indevidual screen and not streached across both screens?
[16:30] <Jimi_Neutral> now it carries on through that but then says "Checking the disk space... (standard_in) 1: syntax error Something Went Wrong!!! ress eneter to continue
[16:31] <Oli``> Anyone know how to change the sendmail max attachment size?
[16:31] <Dreamglider> jcapinc: i have a 2:1 sized wallpaper, used gimp to create the image and use it :)
[16:31] <Tcl> !internet
[16:31] <Tcl> !cconnect
[16:31] <Tcl> !connect
[16:31] <jcapinc> Dreamglider, I kind of thought of using gimp, I guess I should learn gimp-fu
[16:31] <Tcl> !detect
[16:32] <Dreamglider> jcapinc: i just took two images and put them side by side in gimp and saved it
[16:32] <jcapinc> Dreamglider, my moniters are different sizes so its a little more complicated than that
[16:32] <Dreamglider> jcapinc: mine are too. no proble encountered
[16:32] <jcapinc> Dreamglider, you are right on this one I just have to do it manually
[16:34] <Dreamglider> jcapinc: i did find a way to manage two wallpapers, but i couldnt use it because my pc does not see two screen, it only sees one very wide screen :/ ill see if i can find the link again.
[16:35] <jcapinc> Dreamglider, yea thats the disadvantage of twinview, it just widens the screen and dumps the extra output on the second moniter
[16:35] <tc0nn2000> how do you change the default fs blocksize? Want to mount an ext4 16k partition
[16:36] <tc0nn2000> or.. How do you change the maximum supported blocksize?
[16:36] <Jimi_Neutral> Ah Sipior. The reason I am using Clonezilla and not Partimage is because of Multicasting.
[16:36] <Jimi_Neutral> Unless Partimage supports Multicasting now?
[16:37] <RedWar> I have been trying to get a simpler version of dual screen so as to not mess with GLX settings
[16:40] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: oh, that i don't know. have a look at the project web page, see what you can find.
[16:40] <Gnomie> ack ill just talk here ;0
[16:40] <Gnomie> i dont know much about irc yet =/
[16:40] <Gnomie> im a newb
[16:40] <Jeruvy> !ot > Gnomie
[16:40] <Dreamglider> welcome newb
[16:40] <Jimi_Neutral> 'could i be a pain and ask fro a linky lol
[16:41] <Gnomie> im trying to get into shroomery chat
[16:41] <Gnomie> shroomery.org/chat.php
[16:41] <Picassotamus> !enter | Gnomie
[16:42] <Gnomie> OK, sorry about that ubottu
[16:42] <nathan7> =p
[16:42] <Gnomie> That sounds like a bots name, he is a smart bot though if he is.
[16:43] <oCean_> Gnomie: please stop. This is ubuntu technical support.
[16:44] <JediMaster> hey guys, I've got 3 network interfaces, one goes to the adsl router, two to two private networks, I've got private network A NATed through the ADSL router with no problems, but I can't get them to see private network B, any ideas?
[16:44] <grawity> !help > Gnomie
[16:44] <Jimi_Neutral> s root, run "/opt/drbl/sbin/dcs" in DRBL server to switch clients' mode. You will see two menus: clonezilla-start and clonezilla-stop......when i do this using sudo it says command not found
[16:45] <Otacon22> Is ubuntu supported on a Solaris Machine?
[16:45] <kc8pxy> Otacon22:  on a sparc?
[16:45] <Jeruvy> Jimi_Neutral: are you providing /complete/path/to/clonsezilla-start?
[16:45] <sipior> Gnomie: it's all right, just ask your question. we have a few folks here who are a little too excitable with bot directives...which is perhaps rather off-putting to someone new to irc.
[16:45] <KoolD> list
[16:46] <Otacon22> kc8pxy, yes
[16:46] <Jimi_Neutral> <------- linux virgin being forced to do this by his boss....does not have a clue
[16:46] <kc8pxy> Otacon22:  not sure..
[16:46] <Jimi_Neutral> winging it and falling on the good grace of you guys
[16:46] <kc8pxy> Jimi_Neutral: np.  welcome to linux.
[16:47] <Jimi_Neutral> ty :)
[16:47] <Jeruvy> Jimi_Neutral: #bash is a great channel to learn about the shell also :)
[16:48]  * JediMaster pats Jimi_Neutral's boss on the back for sending us another one
[16:48] <dual> Is Openoffice3 100% compatible with .doc/word documents? In OO2 I sometimes experienced that a .doc looked weird. Does anyone know?
[16:48] <Jimi_Neutral> that i will defo get into when i start using a linux box at home, at the moment though i am in at the deep end and need to get this done before he shouts at me even more
[16:48] <Jimi_Neutral> i like linux i really do, but im a gamer first and foremost
[16:49] <deww> dual: dont count on it.
[16:49] <incorrect> Jimi_Neutral, so write some games for linux
[16:49] <grawity> dual: It's almost impossible to be 100% compatible with a closed format... though I think the Word document format is now public, so I guess 90% compatibility.
[16:49] <sipior> dual: i'm sure it won't be 100%. usually some tweaking will be necessary, although it's less of a problem than it was...
[16:49] <Jimi_Neutral> hah im a gamer not a coder
[16:49] <simenkm> Incorrect if you teach me how to ;P
[16:49] <JediMaster> Jimi_Neutral, it's possible, but often difficult, to get a lot of games (including windows only ones) running in linux using things like Wine
[16:49] <dual> Thanks. :)
[16:49] <incorrect> simenkm, i am learning how to write games at the moment
[16:49] <OscarTgrouch> dual: i would ask that in the openoffice channel.  but i think you should be fine  there are a few items with new versions of office that dont work.  but i wuold ask in the open office channel for a better answer
[16:49] <Jimi_Neutral> i am an MCP, i know nothing of coding lol
[16:49] <simenkm> I am still a linux newb, Installed my first Linux box about 3 monthes ago
[16:50] <simenkm> But its fun, atm i am trying to get my FreeNX working out
[16:50] <dual> Ok ;)
[16:50] <Gnomie> me too, and I can't go bak to windows ;)
[16:50] <Gnomie> I love linux now.
[16:50] <RedWar> U should try UBUBTU as well.
[16:50] <simenkm> ububtu?
[16:51] <RedWar> Ubuntu sorry typo
[16:51] <Gnomie> ya im using that
[16:51] <Jimi_Neutral> Well I will defo look into it once I have this done and have bought a new SSD but at the moment i think im learning enough trying to get this done for my boss
[16:51] <simenkm> Atm i have a Ubuntu server, wich i just installed freenx on to get a Gui
[16:51] <Gnomie> id like to try out slackware eventually, but I'm not smart enough with the terminal yet.
[16:51] <dakira> hi.. is there a possibility to make openoffice use GVFS? my problem in particular is the following: I mount a samba share via GVFS (including authentication). Now every time I want to open or save a file with OOo I get asked the user/pw-combo (the dialog is from OOo). Is there a way to avoid this?
[16:51] <Gnomie> I think it's cool the slack in 'slackware' comes from the church of the subgenius hehe
[16:51] <Jimi_Neutral> if i was using norton ghost this would have been done by now lol, i know im sorry but this is stressing me out
[16:51] <Gnomie> ick no norton!
[16:52] <Gnomie> sorry, just against norton ;0
[16:52] <Jimi_Neutral> well i finsih work in a bit so no more time to do it, but basically im just having trouble getting clonezilla to actually clone the copy of windows on my other laptop
[16:53] <grawity> Gnomie: Norton apps are quite nice, only the antivirus sucks. (I have heard good things about NAV 2009, but it still sucks.)
[16:53] <OscarTgrouch> Gnomie: one thing that helped me learn terminal is to install Ubuntu server and take that from a server install to basically a desktop install but installing all the needed parts.  didnt teach me but 2% of what you can do but it helped me get more comfortable.
[16:53] <Gnomie> ah ok, ya I'm not aware with the other programs.  I just know the anti virus suxx0rs
[16:53] <bigjocker> norton utilities where godsend in the ole DOS days
[16:53] <LjL> !ot
[16:54] <Jimi_Neutral> Thank you all for all your help and putting up with my whining...i might see you in an hour or so if im still awake enough to do this while im at home, if not i will be back tomorrow!
[16:55] <Gnomie> Thanks so my question about joining a channel not suitable for ubuntu support, I guess that makes sense.  I will go to the offtopic or google it.
[16:55] <Gnomie> I just want to get on a certain channel, and I have never used this, only mirc.
[16:56] <LjL> Gnomie: /join #channelname
[16:56] <simenkm> Gnomie its just like mirc ;)
[16:56] <Gnomie> oh so I don't have to connect to any network ;)
[16:56] <grawity> Gnomie: If you have used mIRC, then this is much like it - same commands, same concepts, etc.
[16:57] <LjL> Gnomie: err, that depends on whether your channel is on the same network as this (this is freenode.net)
[16:57] <Gnomie> I know, I sound stupid, just like I got the channel, I thought for some reason I had to connect to the domain name network first, I guess I fucked that up

[16:59] <delfick> hi, I'm trying to install cnet (network simulator) on my laptop (32-bit ubuntu 8.10) and I get a "/usr/local/bin/ld: unknown option '-z relro'" and one similar saying it can't load ld backend libarary 'libld_elf_i386.so and I'm somewhat confused as to why, anyone have any ideas?
[16:59] <LjL> Flyover: that depends entirely on your router
[16:59] <hatter243> Flyover, what do you mean "open a port" Did you install a firewall?
[16:59] <Flyover> i have a ovh server and its blocking port 6667
[16:59] <ellar> !ntfs > ellar
[16:59] <LjL> Flyover: Ubuntu isn't blocking anything - your router may be
[17:00] <exoasol> is there any software available for linux that is similar to snapfish online photo card creator
[17:00] <Flyover> its a server it dosnt go tho my router
[17:00] <LjL> Flyover: so it's running on your Ubuntu box, and you think your Ubuntu is preventing it from accepting incoming connections...?
[17:01] <OscarTgrouch> Flyover: what are you needing to open a port for?
[17:01] <Ropechoborra> Flyover, If you dont have any firewall installed, then the server that provides you internet is blocking that port for you.
[17:01] <Flyover> well i cant connect to a private IRC netowrk
[17:01] <Flyover> and i think its becouse the port is not open
[17:01] <LjL> nonsense.
[17:01] <cousteau> is it safe to delete all ~/.fr-* folders?
[17:01] <Ropechoborra> Flyover, freenode is port 6667, you are talking to us right now :)
[17:01] <Vaylor> hi all
[17:02] <Tcl> well is the ircd.conf
[17:02] <Flyover> ah
[17:02] <LjL> cousteau: i don't have any such folders, what are they?
[17:02] <OscarTgrouch> flyover: Just to verify.  YOu are trying to connect to a private IRC network and you are being blocked.
[17:02] <cousteau> I'm using Hardy and it temporarily unzips there archivers
[17:02] <cousteau> seems that Intrepid uses /tmp instead
[17:02] <saerg> wers: open a terminal, type twf and
[17:02] <Flyover> it keeps saying connecting and does nothering else
[17:02] <LjL> cousteau: ah, i don't know, i use KDE whose archiver probably does it differently
[17:02] <saerg> cousteau: those are from file-roller
[17:03] <LjL> Flyover: except you're currently connected to an irc network so it can't be your computer
[17:03] <cousteau> shouldn't them be unzipped on /tmp?
[17:03] <wers> saerg, thanks. kept trying "thewidgetfactory"
[17:03] <OscarTgrouch> FLyover: simple question.  do you now the private network is up and running?
[17:03] <Ticco> !getlist
[17:03] <Ropechoborra> Flyover, try in a terminal ' ping IRCserver '  (just the domain)
[17:03] <LjL> !bot > ticco    (ticco, see the private message from ubottu)
[17:03] <Ticco> !list
[17:03] <Flyover> the server is up and running as im using it on my home computer
[17:04] <Ropechoborra> O that changes things
[17:04] <Ropechoborra> Flyover, is your home computer with ubuntu?
[17:04] <OscarTgrouch> flyover are you one the same neetwork as your home computer?
[17:04] <Flyover> my home computer is yes
[17:04] <Flyover> and the ping is working
[17:04] <Tcl> Flyover : if your server is up and running and u cant connect to it is the user line or Client block access setup on your ircd.conf
[17:04] <saerg> cousteau: if you haven't openend files from within an archive you can delete those directories
[17:05] <cousteau> ok

[17:06] <RedWar> Is there a simple way to pipe a video stream to HD Tv (Dualview?)
[17:06] <cousteau> Flyover: you can also run "ping -c 10 www.google.com" - the -c 10 will count only 10 pings and then stop
[17:06] <Flyover> i just dont understand why its still not conncting it only connects to this network and not others
[17:07] <Flyover> that worked
[17:08] <Machtin> how can i see whether i'm connected via 100mbit or 1gbit-lan? (pc <> router)
[17:08] <Ropechoborra> Wich is the irc adress of your server? I'll try to connect to see if its accepting connections
[17:08] <rtorrent> hey guys its Flyover
[17:08] <rtorrent> i can connect to this network on my server
[17:08] <genii> Machtin: ifconfig   usually shows the connection speeds of each connection

[17:12] <raven_> hi - i am trying to install OSS2JACK but i have serious trouble with FUSD-KOR, KFUSD and similar - i cannot install and run it - what could i do?
[17:12] <Ropechoborra> rtorrent, ok then, if the IRC server does not accpet any clinets, then the problem is in the config file of the server.
[17:12] <rtorrent> but im using xhat on my home network and the same on servewr
[17:13] <dejai> Machtin, Well I just set up a standard Ubuntu server, made it static on port 192.168.1.100 its all working, makde an SQL data base set up wordpress all fine (yup I could ping www.google.com) but then port forwarding.
[17:13] <dejai> Just couldn't get it to work
[17:13] <Machtin> ah i see.. so ubuntu's the router.. not a desktop system.
[17:14] <Ropechoborra> rtorrent, Dont understand, can you connect to the server from other place?

[17:18] <Ropechoborra> rtorrent,  The you got it
[17:18] <InspectHerGadget> LjL, tnx
[17:19] <rtorrent> ???
[17:19] <LjL> rtorrent: perhaps you've set up your irc server's config to not accept connections from localhost.
[17:19] <cablop> ??!
[17:19] <InspectHerGadget> sebsebseb, 2 sec
[17:19] <Ropechoborra> rtorrent, Connection refused, your server does not accept local connections... try looking for that option in the ircd.conf
[17:19] <cablop> mmm
[17:19] <Tcl> rtorrent du u have  set to aloww connections to your server ?
[17:19] <Ropechoborra> Tcl, It does accept, only not from localhost
[17:19] <rtorrent> im not sure i did not set it up
[17:19] <otm> Does anybody know of any good video editting software (I'm new to making vids but don't want TOO user frienly software that holds me back later on)
[17:20] <rtorrent> ircd.conf (i use xchat)
[17:20] <Tcl> if is an unreal then u have localhost by password
[17:20] <LjL> otm: video editing you mean nonlinear? (i.e. put many videos together, do transitions, and such?)
[17:20] <sebsebseb> otm: kino I belive is one
[17:20] <cousteau> otm: there's a program called kino; looks nice
[17:20] <nicklas_> are there any vpn solutins fo linux?
[17:20] <LjL> these are video editors:  cinelerra, avidemux, stopmotion, blender, lives, openmovieeditor, jahshaka  —  GNOME: pitivi, kino  —  KDE: kdenlive  —  console: avidemux-cli
[17:21] <Ropechoborra> rtorrent, is it Unreal?
[17:21] <rtorrent> what do you mean unreal
[17:21] <LjL> rtorrent: the name of the irc server program
[17:21] <Ropechoborra> rtorrent, The server name, is Unreal ?
[17:21] <Tcl> and the bloc for clients shold look like this:
[17:21] <Ropechoborra> name, program lol

[17:22] <Ropechoborra> ubottu, I know you silly :P
[17:22] <LjL> otm: you can do it through the terminal, or you could use VLC or avidemux
[17:22] <otm> thank you :)
[17:23] <InspectHerGadget> sebsebseb, http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/2194/screenshotff.png
[17:23] <LjL> rtorrent: i don't see any irc server with that name in the repositories
[17:23] <genii> Machtin: Apologies had a disconnect here. Actually I think what you want is more like:   sudo ethtool eth0         (or whatever the interface name is)
[17:23] <InspectHerGadget> sebsebseb, this way when i start the movie and during the movie in intervals
[17:23] <rtorrent> its a private server
[17:23] <RassBariaw> How do I use VirtualBox to run Ubuntu on Vista?  ubuntu version 8.10 installed using Wubi.
[17:24] <LjL> rtorrent: right, but we want to know the name of the SERVER PROGRAM, not the name you gave to the HOST
[17:24] <RassBariaw> without a partition....
[17:24] <LjL> rtorrent: you know, the daemon, the program that you use to actually serve IRC
[17:24] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: Wubi puts Ubuntu inside Windows
[17:24] <InspectHerGadget> sebsebseb, i have installed ubuntu-restricted,i tryed with gstream too and nothing
[17:24] <sebsebseb> InspectHerGadget: I am not exactly sure, what you want to do
[17:24] <RassBariaw> sebsebseb: does that mean I cannot use VirtualBox?
[17:24] <rtorrent> the program i am useing is xchat and the netowrk is P2P-NETWORK
[17:25] <Ropechoborra> rtorrent, I think you should contact your network admin, or the person who is in charge of the config of the server
[17:25] <LjL> rtorrent: so you've got a CLIENT and you're trying to connect to an EXTERNAL network?
[17:25] <saerg> RassBariaw: you can run the livecd in virtualbox
[17:25] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw:   Wubi puts   Ubuntu inside the Windows partition, however you can try  Ubuntu from  inside Windows, by using the ISO
[17:25] <DrMrHorse> knetworkmanager isnt installed by default?
[17:25] <InspectHerGadget> sebsebseb, did you saw my link with screenshot?i need good image quality not blur or shadow during the movie
[17:25] <|PaperTiger|> Having trouble setting up a dual screen display. ATi Catalyst Control Centre installed. Don't know what settings. Tried a few, but none work how I want. I want it so I have an extended desktop
[17:25] <sebsebseb> InspectHerGadget: I don't know
[17:26] <InspectHerGadget> sebsebseb, i need to know best codec for .avi mp4 etc format
[17:26] <LjL> !restricted > InspectHerGadget    (InspectHerGadget, see the private message from ubottu)
[17:26] <sebsebseb> InspectHerGadget: try w32codecs
[17:26] <Ropechoborra> LjL, He is connected trough VNC to the system that hosts the IRCd. And he cannot connect localy to the server
[17:26] <rtorrent> but the networking is working fine as im on it on my home connection just dosnt connect to it on the server
[17:26] <InspectHerGadget> sebsebseb, ah,ok tnx aneway for the help
[17:26] <DrMrHorse> (whoops wrong channel)
[17:26] <sebsebseb> InspectHerGadget: no problem
[17:26] <InspectHerGadget> LjL, thank you
[17:26] <LjL> Ropechoborra: if he doesn't even know which server he's using, perhaps he shouldn't be running an irc server to begin with
[17:26] <RassBariaw> saerg: so that means if I wish to use VirtualBox I must install Ubuntu on a separate partition?
[17:27] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: you install Ubuntu from the ISO in a virtual hard disk using Virtualbox
[17:27] <saerg> RassBariaw: no, you can directly run the livecd in virtualbox
[17:27] <Ropechoborra> LjL, thats why i told him to contact the person in charge, since he wont be able to modify the config file by his own
[17:27] <marshall> hey
[17:27] <Machtin> genii: thanks
[17:27] <rtorrent> imn  not runnin a irc server
[17:27] <rtorrent> im tryin to connect to 1
[17:27] <LjL> rtorrent: if you're not, then you can't do anything about it except inform the person who *is* running it of the issue.
[17:28] <Tcl> pffffff..man the server do not let u in then ( u r banned or u need a pass or is bad setup)
[17:28] <rtorrent> but the irc server is working fine as there are about 200 people on it
[17:28] <RassBariaw> saerg: what about the updates? do they run from the cd?
[17:28] <rtorrent> it just dosnt connect from my ovh server to the irc server
[17:29] <Ropechoborra> rtorrent, ovh ?
[17:29] <rtorrent> ye
[17:29] <LjL> rtorrent: yes, that's because *connections from localhost are disabled*. you need to inform the *administrator of the server* of that.
[17:29] <Ropechoborra> Whats that ? =)
[17:29] <RassBariaw> sebsebseb: I feel confused; I cannot run the Wubi installation of Ubuntu in VirtualBox?
[17:29] <Otacon22> !eee
[17:29] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: yes you don't use wubi
[17:29] <rtorrent> its a server host
[17:29] <sebsebseb> !wubi
[17:29] <mogi22> hi, i cant get any sound out of vlc media player on every other boot.  not sure why!  i can get sound on all other apps on every boot though!
[17:29] <saerg> RassBariaw: like sebsebseb said... you can install it to a virtual hard drive ie. a file
[17:29] <rtorrent> can i enable local host i have root
[17:30] <mogi22> where do i even begin checking such a thing?
[17:30] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: you download the Ubuntu ISO  from the webstie
[17:30] <LjL> rtorrent: root on *what*? on the server that's running the ircd?
[17:30] <mogi22> is there a sound service i can restart?
[17:30] <RedWar> !DualView
[17:30] <LjL> !dualhead
[17:30] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: also you should only do  Ubuntu in virtualbox  to try :)  then later put for real on your hard disk
[17:30] <rtorrent> i have root for my vnc server not irc
[17:31] <LjL> rtorrent: that won't help you.
[17:31] <RassBariaw> sebsebseb: if I understand, that means, try for a while, then partition and install in the new partition?
[17:31] <rtorrent> ah kk ill speak to the hoster of the channel
[17:31] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: at the moment you only got Windows on a computer yes?
[17:31] <OscarTgrouch> !exit
[17:31] <RedWar> I missed the answer to the question, but Now iknow thanks xinerama
[17:31] <rtorrent> thanks for all your help guys
[17:31] <RassBariaw> sebsebseb: I have Vista, and a Wubi install of Ubuntu 8.10
[17:31] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: you can run Ubuntu inside  Windows by,  downloading the ISO,  and running it in virtualbox
[17:32] <Cliffer> hi
[17:32]  * grawity greets Cliffer.
[17:32] <giaco> hello
[17:32] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: ok  what do you want to do exactly?
[17:32] <RassBariaw> sebsebseb: so when I boot up, I get the dual boot option between Vista and Ubuntu but I wanted to be able to switch between the two
[17:32] <giaco> how cna ibackground a running process and make it uncloseable on terminal close?
[17:32] <sky_1> hi anyone can help me with GRUB ?
[17:32] <LjL> giaco: "nohup programname &"
[17:32] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: you can use Windows and Ubuntu at the same time, by  using virtualbox
[17:32] <Tianlong> 你好
[17:33] <Tianlong> hello
[17:33] <LjL> !screen > giaco    (giaco, see the private message from ubottu) or use this for more control
[17:33] <LjL> !cn | Tianlong
[17:33] <giaco> LjL, but it's running now, I can't stop it
[17:33] <amigo_rich> sky_1: What problem do you have with GRUB?
[17:33] <sky_1> how i can point GRUB that other systems are installed ?
[17:33] <sky_1> (not windows)
[17:33] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: however Windows as the host OS hummmmm
[17:33] <LjL> giaco: try Ctrl+Z, it might put it into backgroup
[17:33] <RassBariaw> sebsebseb: but, can I use VirtualBox on a Wubi install of Ubuntu?
[17:33] <RedWar> Does. Xinerama work on hArdy?
[17:33] <Tianlong> thanks ljl
[17:33]  * axoin is listening to RassBariaw 
[17:33] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: good for trying, but then  you should put  Ubuntu on a hard disk for real :)  and  do Windows in the vm maybe/probably
[17:33] <giaco> LjL, but then it would be closed after I close the terminal
[17:33] <Tianlong> i had my chinese entry on, lol
[17:34] <otm> Does anybody know anything about ssh tunelling through your home computer on your laptop that's miles away? This would be very useful when I go to uni
[17:34] <LjL> giaco: not if you use "disown"
[17:34] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: your wubi install,  won't boot up in virtualbox
[17:34] <RassBariaw> sebsebseb: yes; Vista installed first, then I just used Wubi yesterday and installed
[17:34] <amigo_rich> sky_1: You need to add them to /boot/grub/menu.lst.
[17:34] <Serraphyn> I know nvidia isn't supported here since its not open source but could someone remind me what channel is for linux and nividia?
[17:34] <v0lksman> I just did an upgrade to Jaunty and now when I login to X something is spawning hundreds of nautilus apps...any suggestion what to look for?
[17:34] <sky_1> amigo_rich: need to know how i can point grub that other systems are installed
[17:34] <giaco> LjL, can you explain me the disown syntax?
[17:34] <NCommander> Can one do a OEM install with an alternate CD?
[17:34] <giaco> how should it work?
[17:34] <Cliffer> how can i find a folder in the terminal?
[17:34] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: why wubi? ,because you didn't know how to partition your hard disk, for a real proper dual boot?
[17:34] <Ropechoborra> sky_1, modifying in the menu.lst, adding a root device, and kernels it should load
[17:34] <RassBariaw> sebsebseb: I started virtualbox, but it prompted me for partition information so I cancelled.
[17:34] <LjL> giaco: "help disown" will tell you, see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nohup
[17:35] <LjL> Cliffer: find | grep folder
[17:35] <Cliffer> tHx
[17:35] <LjL> Cliffer: see "man find" for more info
[17:35] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: ok
[17:35] <Scunizi> Looking at htop I see many duplications of programs.. like Tomboy has 3 identical entries with different PID numbers. Same with gnome Do, Evolution Data Server, Tracker etc.. is this normal?
[17:35] <sky_1> Ropechoborra, amigo_rich i get Permission denied -> and i am logged as root :X
[17:35] <Cliffer> does it also search in subfolders?
[17:35] <LjL> Cliffer: yes
[17:35] <RassBariaw> sebsebseb: I know that Vista has a built in partion application, but I wanted to be careful
[17:35] <Cliffer> cool
[17:35] <Brinstar> does Transmission encrypt torrent transfers?
[17:35] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: how much RAM do you have?
[17:35] <RassBariaw> sebsebseb: and I was told to just use Wubi to test.....I have 4 gigs of RAM
[17:36] <Ropechoborra> sky_1, Did you try as root to ' nano /boot/grub/menu.lst ' ?
[17:36] <LjL> Scunizi: i don't know about those programs specifically, but many programs create and use several "threads" by forking more processes
[17:36] <sky_1> Ropechoborra: i am troll X(
[17:36] <Scunizi> Ropechoborra: sky_1 not as root but using 'sudo nano /bla/bla/menu.lst
[17:36] <sky_1> Ropechoborra: thats answer ! thanks
[17:36] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: let's go pm and i'll explain some things to you
[17:36] <Scunizi> LjL: thanks..
[17:36] <sky_1> Scunizi: yea forgot nano X(
[17:37] <RassBariaw> sebsebseb: please do
[17:37] <Serraphyn> Anyone know about the ubuntu kernel driver error for linux? if so can you please help me my main PC wont load X now
[17:37] <sebsebseb> RassBariaw: yeah click my name in the list
[17:37] <Ropechoborra> sky_1, try as Scunizi said, use sudo insted of root user
[17:37] <Brinstar>  does Transmission encrypt torrent transfers?
[17:37] <amigo_rich> sky_1: Is the partition mounted read only and do you have the correct permsissions to edit the file?
[17:37] <sky_1> amigo_rich: i forgot nano
[17:37] <sky_1> amigo_rich, Ropechoborra now i am there...what now ?
[17:37] <Tcl> sebsebseb ...yes wubi will be good on a vista pc u will be able to install/uninstall ubuntu az a program ( like a game) :)

Here's the weird part: XP's MBR for some reason installed onto the Vista disk (before it had Vista) so when I installed Vista, its bootloader recognized and chainloaded XP. HERE's the problem: I decided to wipe Vista and reinstall Ubuntu. Ubuntu is wo
[17:39] <sotec_prod> rking perfect, Vista is gone, and in doing so, XP's MBR is no more. What do I need to do to restore XP's boot.ini or MBR or whatever and have it chainloaded into GRUB? I would just wipe XP, but it has a couple uses still...like a game I have many hours invested in.

[17:39] <Ropechoborra> sky_1, take a look at the config file, see at the end of it how it does to load Linux (or windows if you have it) and try to do the same for the system you want
[17:39] <y2k> hi
[17:39] <Ropechoborra> sky_1, you will need to know in wich partition is installed this OS.

[17:40] <porter1> Anyone know if Ubuntu won't run if the password for root is not hashed (or salted)?
[17:40] <v0lksman> arg...so it's something to do with my profile...what files does X use when creating my profile?
[17:40] <sid1monu> i restore ntldr but no luck
[17:40] <sid1monu> same problem
[17:40] <LjL> porter1: err, root has no password by default to begin with
[17:41] <trimalap> sid1monu: you will have to enter the Windows info in grub file. Do a google and you will get your answer. It is very common issue and there are a lot of step-by-steps there
[17:41] <porter1> Hmmm.... nevermind. I'm going ta have to study the Ubuntu security model some mero...
[17:41] <oshub> proxychains I tried but I am not convinced
[17:41] <oshub> other idea?
[17:41] <kapipi> Hello, I just noticed that in the mixer, the master channel is in mono. Is that normal?
[17:41] <sid1monu> i tried that too,i tried editing grub
[17:41] <Serraphyn> Ienorand 2G ram and 8600 GT Nvidia
[17:42] <LjL> oshub: it's the only proxy chaining program i am aware of in the repos.
[17:42] <sid1monu> i put the root hard disk partition and
[17:42] <trimalap> sid1monu: boot into ubuntu and then do it from there
[17:42] <sotec_prod> Here's an issue you may not see all the time: I had a triple boot scenario: XP then Ubuntu on 1 disk, and Vista on another. It all loaded through GRUB. Pretty standard setup? Here's the weird part: XP's MBR for some reason installed onto the Vista disk (before it had Vista) so when I installed Vista, its bootloader recognized and chainloaded XP. HERE's the problem: I decided to wipe Vista and reinstall Ubuntu. Ubuntu is wo
 rking perfect, Vista is gone, and in doing so, XP's MBR is no more. What do I need to do to restore XP's boot.ini or MBR or whatever and have it chainloaded into GRUB? I would just wipe XP, but it has a couple uses still...like a game I have many hours invested in.
[17:42] <sid1monu> do i need to chainload
[17:42] <sid1monu> chainload+1
[17:42] <sotec_prod> I really need help with this guys
[17:42] <Ropechoborra> sky_1, check this example http://paste.ubuntu.com/141552/
[17:42] <sky_1> Ropechoborra: btw the system which i want to make a dualboot is BSD
[17:43] <sky_1> sotec_prod: boot windows xp CD and there can be repair console just type there fixmbr
[17:43] <Ropechoborra> sky_1, i dont know much about BSD sorry :(
[17:43] <oshub> ok,thanks
[17:43] <teddy__> Just smile and wave boys, smile and wave! << Madagascar penguins
[17:43] <Ienorand> Serraphyn: sorry, got logged out there... Hmmm, with 2gb ram it can't be the issue I was having...
[17:43] <LjL> !ot | teddy__
[17:44] <sotec_prod> thanks sky_1, I have a sneaking suspicion it's not going to be that easy, but thanks anyway
[17:44] <Serraphyn> Ienorand, its DDR2 Memory and I'm trying to use the 180.44 driver
[17:45] <Ropechoborra> sky_1, Check this, It should help http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/configure-ubuntu-grub-to-load-freebsd.html
[17:45] <sky_1> Ropechoborra: thank you mate :)
[17:45] <teroknor> hi i'm compiling a kernel of ubuntu hardy 32bit on a core2duo system. is it okay to choose "Core2/newer Xeon" processor family even if the kernel i'm building is 32bit?
[17:45] <dee> Hello.
[17:45] <pablo__> module ppp_generic is a missing module right now in my system, how is suppoused to install it ?
[17:46] <Serraphyn> Ienorand, the problem I see is that the kenerl module is sitll the 177 and its not letting the 180 one load
[17:46] <trimalap> sid1monu: yes chainload+1
[17:46] <sotec_prod> why 32bit on a x64 bit system??
[17:46] <oshub> I need an extensive manual to configure it correctly sockschain.any ideas?
[17:46] <sotec_prod> that makes no sense
[17:46] <dee> problem with wine: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/394653/ does anyone know this error? System: Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit.
[17:46] <Ienorand> Serraphyn: I was having problems with 4gb not working but 2gb working, strangely enough... probably not the same issue then, sorry I don't know any other causes.
[17:46] <teroknor> sotec_prod: i run some programs that only available on 32bit.
[17:46] <PhotoJim> trimalap: I think that if you tell the compiler you are using a 64-bit CPU, it will compile with native 64-bit code.  so you probably want to tell it you are using a 32-bit CPU instead (even if you aren't).
[17:46] <oshub> proxychains  sorry *
[17:47] <Machtin> sotec_prod: cause 32bit is faster if you got less than 4gbyte RAM.. and usually better supported
[17:47] <Scunizi> With every reboot my system's volume is reset to zero.. this just started happening in the last couple weeks. Any idea what's changed?
[17:47] <Ienorand> does anyone know how to edit vesamenu to allow for chainloading?
[17:47] <sky_1> !Nabble
[17:48] <teroknor> i'm just worried that if i choose the processor arch as core2duo even if i'm using 32bit hardy, i may not be able to boot again.
[17:48] <sotec_prod> what programs are you using that  require this setup? I've installed more than I need to every use in Ubuntu and I've never once had an issue with 64bit vs. 32bit programs.
[17:48] <teroknor> sotec_prod: scsirastools
[17:48] <PhotoJim> teroknor: you'll be able to boot.  your old kernel will still be in the grub menu.  you'd just have to select it manually.  so you won't hurt anything to experiment.
[17:49] <teroknor> PhotoJim, oh yeah.... i forgot. :)
[17:49] <sotec_prod> hmm, ok
[17:49] <oshub> also need a website updated every hour socks.any idea...?
[17:49] <PhotoJim> sotec_prod: 64-bit Java support is still a work in progress.  that's the only tangible difference I've run into that affects me.
[17:49] <sotec_prod> server tools?
[17:49] <PhotoJim> teroknor: try it. :)  but you were smart to ask.
[17:49] <unr3a1> hey all.  I am having compilation issues with an app, and i have installed the latest version of boost, but still I get this error:  http://pastebin.com/f118c13ec  any ideas how I can get the asio installed properly?
[17:49] <erUSUL> PhotoJim: the only part that is fails is the firefox plugin
[17:49] <teroknor> PhotoJim, thanks. i'll experiment.
[17:49] <PhotoJim> teroknor: let me know what you discover :)
[17:49] <sotec_prod> Speaking of which, would anyone know why some flash online works and some does not? Southparkstudios does not work for me, but youtube and the ilk does.
[17:50] <teroknor> PhotoJim, Okay. ;)
[17:50] <PhotoJim> erUSUL: oh, is it firefox-specific?  is there a workaround with a different browser, e.g. epiphany?
[17:50] <sotec_prod> is there an xserver setting I need to modify?
[17:50] <sotec_prod> I've tried shutting down compiz too
[17:50] <sotec_prod> no avail
[17:50] <techouse> sotec_prod: 64bit?
[17:50] <erUSUL> PhotoJim: you can use the icedtea (openjava) plugin it works on some sites (facebook fails :|)
[17:50] <sotec_prod> yes
[17:51]  * sotec_prod uses icetea
[17:51] <techouse> sotec_prod: the the adobe labs beta
[17:51] <PhotoJim> erUSUL: it doesn't work on the site I want it to work on, unfortunately.  at least it didn't the last time I tried it.  but I'll try it again.
[17:51] <rysiek> guys, how do I tell hal (or whatever auto-mounts USB drives) to use locale=pl_PL.utf8 option for ntfs-3g
[17:51] <sotec_prod> i'll check it. I have the 64bit version installed because like I said, some sites work, some dont.
[17:52] <erUSUL> PhotoJim: i only was ponting out that « 64-bit Java support is still a work in progress.» is a false statement or at least greatly missleading
[17:52] <techouse> sotec_prod: let me find it for ya
[17:52] <oshub> also need a website updated every hour socks.any idea?
[17:52] <PhotoJim> erUSUL: I don't think it's greatly misleading.  64-bit Java doesn't seem to work on all sites.  32-bit does.
[17:52] <jcapinc> hey who was they guy that had twinview I was talking to earlier?  I have a solution!

[17:53] <jcapinc> hey who was they guy that had twinview I was talking to earlier?  I have a solution!
[17:54] <sotec_prod> nice! thanks techouse
[17:54] <mshanks> Hey all - bit of a long shot, but; I'm having some problems installing ubuntu on my desktop - and I can vaguely remember what I had to do last time I installed on this machine, but not sure of the two settings I had to change for installing and then in the boot grub thingy.
[17:54] <mshanks> On the installation, it hangs on the HAL bit
[17:54]  * sotec_prod away installing flash
[17:54] <samuel_> como puedo entrar en el canal ispono
[17:54] <LjL> jcapinc: probably Dreamglider?
[17:54] <LjL> !es | samuel_
[17:54] <jcapinc> LjL, yea thats the guy!
[17:55] <mshanks> last time was advised to add two settings to the cmd for installing which got around the problem - but can't for the life of me remember what they were. was definately related to HAL though. any thoughts? :x
[17:55] <techouse> samuel_: learn english :P
[17:55] <Ropechoborra> Thats not te ubuntu spirit =/
[17:55] <Picassotamus> !boot | mshanks
[17:55] <Ropechoborra> But learning english is not bad tough :P
[17:56] <AntiNeko> Hey, can't start PulseAudio after install. Giving me: pulseaudio: error while loading shared libraries: libpulsecore.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[17:56] <mshanks> ah one of the settings was noacpi
[17:56] <mshanks> and the other was similar ¬.¬
[17:56] <mshanks> and Picassotamus, thanks :)
[17:57] <Picassotamus> mshanks: np, are you using a multicore?
[17:57] <mshanks> nope
[17:57] <sotec_> techouse, how do I install the .so flash file?
[17:57] <sotec_> copy/paste?
[17:58] <gsp2009> good morning all.
[17:58] <viclim__> need help with printing
[17:58] <Ropechoborra> !ask | viclim__
[17:58] <erUSUL> PhotoJim: it is the plugin what does not work. the plugin is such a tiny portion of what you can do with java that saying that java on 64 bits fails becouse the plugin fails is *greatly* missleading
[17:58] <viclim__> evince doesn't enable the printing option
[17:59] <techouse> sotec_: copy it into your ~/.mozilla/plugins folder
[17:59] <PhotoJim> erUSUL: ok.  using Java with Firefox on 64-bit Linux is a work in progress then.  I stand corrected.
[17:59] <sotec_> thanks
[17:59] <techouse> sotec_: search for the already existent one and just replace it
[17:59] <oshub> any can help me?
[18:00] <Picassotamus> !anyone | oshub

[18:01] <erUSUL> oshub: also whatch your language here
[18:02] <atomic> I'm trying to install a program and it's not finding a lib file. I have the file but it's a later version. Error loading the runtime (libicudata.so.36: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) Mine is libicudata.so.38
[18:02] <oshub> if you do not want to help the fool
[18:02] <mshanks> time to have another go. thanks again Picassotamus
[18:02] <mshanks> going to try it with noapic and noacpi
[18:02] <mshanks> definately recognsie those two
[18:03] <Picassotamus> mshanks: sounds good, good luck
[18:03] <atomic> It's a *.bin file that I'm trying to get to install.
[18:03] <gsp2009> when I run sudo do-release-upgrade with sources set to "Release upgrade = normal releases", should I not be able to upgrade to 9.10? Instead I get "No new release found". How can I upgrade to 9.10? I know, 9.10 isn't released yet, but I still would like to install it.
[18:03] <durt> gsp2009, it's 9.04 not 9.10
[18:03] <Picassotamus> gsp2009: 9.04 is the next release, and #ubuntu+1 is the channel for support
[18:04] <gsp2009> doh! Sorry... I meant 9.04... I somehow skipped ahead to October... LOL.
[18:04] <viclim__> trying to print pdf file in evince but the print option is disabled, able to print with gimp though.

[18:05] <macman> there a way to see what shares i have open on my computer ?
[18:05] <teroknor> oshub: they are just telling you to just ask out immediately instead of asking if you can ask. just being more efficient in helping you.
[18:05] <atomic> Would I be able to create a sym link from libicudata.so.38 to 36 or am I way off?
[18:06]  * diabu is away: I'm busy

[18:07] <diabu> sorry LjL :\
[18:07] <saerg> atomic: you can try and hope that they didn't change the api too much
[18:07] <grawity> LjL: Does it work with the extra text after it?
[18:08] <LjL> grawity: sure, or i wouldn't be doing it
[18:08] <viclim__> saerg: i'm able to print it in windows
[18:08] <alaz> hmm... Im doing a project on cloud computing  for my bachelors degree. should probably jump to #ubuntu+1 :)
[18:09] <oshub> ok, i am sorry but you has been rude to me

[18:09] <alaz> Ok thanks alot Picassotam
[18:09] <LjL> oshub: actually, no, you have.
[18:09] <Picassotamus> alaz: np, good luck
[18:10] <LjL> oshub: try asking your question again.
[18:10] <sotec_> that's alright. It used to be in the fold you mentioned, but it's changed and I forgot about it
[18:10] <dougl> when I am copying large files to my 8.10 nfs shared hd from my 8.04 box my 8.10 box freezes and I have to reboot via reset button - where do I start to look for some sort of log output to diagnose probllem?
[18:10] <oshub> you know of any manual proxychains?
[18:11] <giaco> LjL, hello again, now I've moved to a different location and I need to catch the output of the disowned process in foreground, again. Do you know how can I do this?
[18:11] <LjL> oshub: "man proxychains" isn't comprehensive?
[18:11] <Serraphyn> oshub: http://tinyurl.com/dauez9
[18:11] <LjL> giaco: not sure it's possible at all
[18:11] <oshub> in russsian?
[18:11] <LjL> in russian...?
[18:12] <Picassotamus> dougl: System->Admin->System Log.. ( i think that is where it is )
[18:12] <macman> nvm found it

[18:12] <LjL> giaco: you should use screen if you want to reattach later
[18:12] <christian_> hello, somebody help me??
[18:12] <dougl> Picassotamus, thanks
[18:13] <marctw> Did you install any ubuntu updates yesterday? should I insall any uodate?
[18:13] <christian_> I need do a mail server

[18:13] <marctw> Did you install any ubuntu updates yesterday? should I insall any uodate?
[18:14] <marctw> anyone can suggest anything?
[18:15] <LjL> marctw: i can suggest you ask better questions.
[18:15] <blizzkid> lo all. anyone could help me get my scanner working? If I do sane-find-scanner I get "found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x0841) at libusb:003:002" But when I start xsane I get "no devices available"
[18:15] <sotec_> techouse, even youtube doesn't work now...any more suggestions since I didn't back up the original libflashplayer.so?
[18:15] <LjL> blizzkid: what about "scanimage -L"?
[18:15] <marctw> Is there anything IMP I should update?
[18:16] <blizzkid> LjL: no scanners were identified
[18:16] <LjL> blizzkid: that's an Epson, isn't it?
[18:16] <abhishekiitd> How can i EEFECTIVELY AND SURELY shut dow the x server, because no matter what i do, i keep getting that message when i try to install nvidia drivers
[18:16] <techouse> sotec_: u sure there is no .mozilla dir in your home dir?
[18:16] <mshanks> ok well it didn't work - getting same problem I was getting before. Hangs at "Starting hardware abstraction layer hald"
[18:16] <blizzkid> LjL: yes, an SX100, and I downloaded and installed iscan
[18:16] <mshanks> Tried it with noapic and noacpi
[18:16] <alaz> abishekii: init 2 ?
[18:16] <techouse> and restart firefox while you are at it
[18:16] <LjL> blizzkid: well you didn't really need iscan... it would have been easier without.
[18:16] <techouse> and check the plug-ins (about:plugins)
[18:16] <sotec_> techouse, there is, but there is no plugins dir
[18:16] <LjL> blizzkid: anyway, do you have an /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf file?
[18:16] <abhishekiitd> alaz:what?
[18:17] <abhishekiitd> alaz:what?i couldnt get it
[18:17] <techouse> then put it into that dir or make a plugins dir in .mozilla
[18:17] <blizzkid> LjL: I had one, but I somehow removed it now
[18:17] <locainex> meh
[18:17] <blizzkid> LjL: I guess with an update of iscan
[18:17] <sotec_> techouse, the only dir libflashplayer.so was found in was the non-free-flash in /usr/lib
[18:17] <alaz> abhishekii: init 2 should drop  you into single-user mode
[18:17] <ksherdy> away
[18:17] <LjL> blizzkid: uhm, so what do you have in /etc/sane.d? (pastebin the output of "ls -l /etc/sane.d")
[18:18] <abhishekiitd> alaz:what excatly should i do?in terminal, sudo init 2?
[18:18] <techouse> sotec_: and firefox detected the new libflashplayer.so when you subtited it?
[18:18] <alaz> aye
[18:19] <blizzkid> LjL: http://pastebin.com/d65cd4e6e
[18:19] <abhishekiitd> alaz:doing sudo init 2 doesnt result in anything, apparently...how do i know if x server is off?black and white screens?
[18:19] <sotec_> i'm not sure to be honest. youtube worked, and now it doesn't. So I'd think something is amiss... but the plugins section in firefox claims that shockwave flash player 10.r22 is still installed
[18:19] <marctw> LjL: I mean.. how should I know what to update? when to update etc?
[18:19]  * sotec_ shrugs
[18:20] <alaz> abbishekii: i thougt init 2 would do the trick. when x server is off you would have no graphical interface just your shell
[18:20] <LjL> marctw: just update everything that the update manager tells you to update, as soon as it tells you.
[18:20] <sipior> abhishekiitd: alaz: isn't runlevel 1 single-user mode?
[18:20] <christian_> I use postfix for my mail server ... and now need use other domain in the same server
[18:20] <LjL> blizzkid: uhm, so you have an epson.conf and an epson2.conf... i would assume the epson2.conf was created by iscan?
[18:20] <alaz> abbishekii: try sudo killall x. or maybe init 1
[18:20] <christian_> my server use postfix and dovecot
[18:20] <abhishekiitd> alaz:doing sudo init 2 doesnt result in anything, neither can i run that driver
[18:20] <blizzkid> LjL: I think so

[18:24] <dtech> Is it true the root account is disabled on 7.04?
[18:25] <don01> Nothin atm I am just checking out things and watching to learn ...
[18:25] <blizzkid> LjL: I also tried a dll.conf with each one individually
[18:25] <don01> Is that okay if I sit here and learn
[18:25] <grawity> tsai1: add it to root's crontab I guess: sudo crontab -e -u root
[18:25] <abhishekiitd> saerg:what is virtual terminal...how do i acces it?
[18:25] <LjL> blizzkid: uhm, i think you should only leave one uncommented - comment out the others. you could try using "epson2" first, i guess. also, comment out everything in epson2.conf, and instead add a line saying "user 0x4b8 0x841"
[18:25] <grawity> don01: yes, it's okay.
[18:25] <don01> Thanks grawity
[18:25] <LjL> blizzkid: err, i meant "usb 0x4b8 0x841"
[18:26] <saerg> abhishekiitd: it's in textmode, ctrl+alt+f1 gets you there
[18:26] <grawity> abhishekiitd: Press Ctrl-Alt-F1, or Ctrl-Alt-F2, or Ctrl-Alt-F3, or .....
[18:26] <grawity> abhishekiitd: Usually, X is on the terminal 7
[18:26] <blizzkid> LjL: still no result
[18:26] <durt> abhishekiitd, and don't forget Ctrl-Alt-F7 to get back !!
[18:26] <dtech> anyone know?
[18:26] <LjL> blizzkid: try the same with epson and epkowa (one at a time - remember to comment out everything else in their .conf)
[18:27] <LjL> blizzkid: also, is that just a scanner or a multifunction device?
[18:27] <durt> !root > dtech,
[18:27] <blizzkid> LjL: multifunction
[18:27] <durt> !root > dtech
[18:27] <saerg> durt: vt7 comes up automatically if he restarts gdm
[18:27] <durt> saerg, true
[18:28] <don01> brb everyone
[18:28] <LjL> blizzkid: then try "sudo modprobe -r usblp ; sudo modprobe -r usb-storage" (make sure you have no USB drives plugged into anything when you do that)
[18:28] <dtech> so the root account IS disabled! ... anyway to active it?
[18:28] <grawity> LjL: btw, can you test your !something command on me? Because I think ubottu doesn't actually say anything when you get that text appended.....
[18:28] <LjL> !root | dtech
[18:28] <grawity> dtech: sudo passwd root
[18:28] <LjL> !bot > grawity    (grawity, see the private message from ubottu)
[18:28] <viclim__> evince print option is disabled, printer is up and test page can be printed, ideas
[18:28] <LjL> !noroot | grawity
[18:28] <blizzkid> LjL: when you say no usb drives, you mean only drives, so the multifunction can be plugged in?
[18:28] <durt> dtech, read the links first before you decide to do that
[18:28] <ohzie> does anyone know of a file manager that can change usermodes when needed, prompting for a sudo password? For instance, if I want to move something from my home directory into /var, or /opt, which belong to root?
[18:28] <grawity> Ah, right.
[18:29] <LjL> blizzkid: no, i mean any USB keys, or SD/CF/other flash cards, or USB disk drives
[18:29] <dtech> sudo is NOT a option ... /etc/groups has been modified and user is no longer in sudo group!
[18:30] <LjL> dtech: then reboot into recovery mode and "adduser youruser admin" to re-add yourself to the sudo group
[18:30] <junior> boa tarde a tds
[18:30] <LjL> !br | junior
[18:30] <ohzie> dtech, reboot the computer in single user mode
[18:30] <ohzie> dtech, You can do this by changing the grub/lilo boot line
[18:30] <tsai1> grawity: Ok, thanks!  I'll try it.
[18:30] <LjL> blizzkid: i'm saying to try this because i have a bug where my multifunction can only be used as a printer *or* as a scanner (*or* a card reader) - not both at the same time. so to scan, i  need to remove usblp (the printing module) and usb-storage (the card reader module)
[18:31] <Deevz> How can I activate the pretty desktop cube?
[18:31] <dtech> LjL: is there a doc on 'that' procedure I have about ten hours experience in the *nix world?
[18:31] <ohzie> dtech, This is why computer security depends on the attacker not having physical access to the computer. It's very easy to own a box you're sitting in front of. Just think like an attacker who doesn't have any inside way to achieve root access.
[18:31] <blizzkid> LjL: I can't remove usb-storage, it's in use (although I have no usb devices in use)
[18:31] <SoS11> does anyone know how to mount a folder in ram (ramdisk)??
[18:31] <[T]ank> what is a good program to use with ubuntu and iphone. Want to sync music.
[18:31] <LjL> blizzkid: "lsmod | grep storage" to know what it's using it
[18:32] <blizzkid> LjL: did that already :) output is usb_storage            81984  1
[18:32] <LjL> dtech: i'm not sure, but basically you just need to select "recovery mode" in your boot menu and then when it gives you a shell, do "adduser yourusername admin"
[18:32] <LjL> blizzkid: annoying
[18:32] <dtech> LjL: that simple, eh?
[18:32] <LjL> dtech: if it works, yes - otherwise you'll need to manually start it from bash, but try that first
[18:33] <dtech> does the 'admin' do the 'sudo' permissions slao?
[18:33] <LjL> blizzkid: you did use modprobe -r, not rmmod, right?
[18:33] <LjL> dtech: yes, the "admin" group is the users who can use "sudo"
[18:33] <blizzkid> right LjL
[18:33] <LjL> dtech: unless you've modified /etc/sudoers
[18:33] <Tokenekie> I need help on saving bluetooth profiles on a live USB bootable usb stick I created with UNetbootin?
[18:33] <Tokenekie> -?
[18:33] <ZING> does ubuntu have some shorta disk defrag and or a disk cleanup?
[18:33] <LjL> blizzkid: i could suggest trying "sudo rmmod -f usb-storage", but that might be dangerous
[18:34] <abhishekiitd> hey everyone i still cant shut down my x server, and hence still cant install my nvidia driver
[18:34] <LjL> ZING: no, not current versions (defrag - don't know about cleanup)
[18:34] <blizzkid> LjL: I'm not going to try that one indeed :)
[18:34] <abhishekiitd> please tell a surest method to shut it down
[18:34] <dtech> I haven't modded anything ... client system I got stuff admining ... I don't know 'what' else is messed up?
[18:34] <junior> gostaria de saber como configura o jogo ZSNES
[18:34] <ZING> do i need to do anything to keep it running smooth?
[18:34] <LjL> !es | junior
[18:34] <PhotoJim> abhishekiitd: open a terminal.  sudo gdm stop   ... assuming you are using standard Ubuntu and not kubuntu, etc.
[18:35] <PhotoJim> abhishekiitd: sorry.  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[18:35] <Downing> Hi
[18:35] <LjL> blizzkid: well, then perhaps you could try restarting in recovery mode, and trying to use the scanner from there (so the offending modules shouldn't be loaded in the first place, hopefully)
[18:35] <mshanks> having problems installing ubuntu on my desktop - everything seems to be going ok, until it tries to start hardware abstraction layer hald - at which point it freezes, changes from splash screen to more detailed log-type-list of previous operations, and sits like that - left it for 10 minutes with no change
[18:35] <abhishekiitd> PhotoJim: i have already tried duso gdm stop
[18:35] <abhishekiitd> PhotoJim: is it different drom sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop?
[18:35] <LjL> the correct command is: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop
[18:35] <blizzkid> LjL: I read something about permissions in /proc/... but I don't remember the exact path... All I know is I didn't have that path when I last looked at it
[18:35] <abhishekiitd> PhotoJim: and moreover, i have also tried the 2nd one too
[18:36] <LjL> blizzkid: ah, right, there could be that problem too
[18:36] <PhotoJim> abhishekiitd: try LjL's suggestion, but mine should work, I have used it.
[18:36] <dtech> LjL if /etc/sudoers is modded, will the admin permissions added above provide enough to restore the sudoers file?
[18:36] <LjL> blizzkid: i use chmod g+rw /proc/bus/usb/001/00* ; chown root:scanner /proc/bus/usb/001/00*
[18:36] <LjL> blizzkid: your numbers may vary
[18:36] <grawity> dtech: If you haven't removed %admin from /etc/sudoers.
[18:36] <cabrilo_> hello.... is there an 8.10 installer ISO with all the latest updates? I'd like to take the disc to a friend on a slow connection, so I don't want 300mb (or whatever) of updates waiting after the installation
[18:36] <LjL> what he said, dtech.
[18:36] <blizzkid> LjL: /proc/bus/usb/ is empty
[18:37] <LjL> dtech, also, it was very foolish to modify sudoers without knowing how to fix it.
[18:37] <LjL> blizzkid: err.
[18:37] <dtech> grawity: And if it was ... then what course(s) are needed?
[18:37] <LjL> blizzkid: i have this set up on Debian. i guess they've changed stuff in Ubuntu.
[18:37] <grawity> dtech: boot into single user mode as explained above, then include this line in sudoers: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
[18:38] <sid_> Hi there! Anybody there who can help me with my dual graphic adapters bug? I have a Radeon mobility HD3200 and HD3470 and in Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 the xsever doesn't start. In 8.04 all is well. Tried everything from using radeonhd, ati, radeon drivers to installing 8.04 , then the original ati drivers and upgrading...nothing works. Anyone with some knowledge about this?
[18:38] <kc8pxy> when setting up netboot instalation,  i should append preseed=/path/to/preseed.file ??
[18:38] <grawity> dtech: also, it's very recommended to use "visudo" for doing that - it checks if sudoers is valid.
[18:38] <blizzkid> LjL: that's painful :)
[18:38] <dtech> LjL: again ... I changed nothing! ... this is a client system ... this 'could' be a subotage of a previous IT person, or ignorance of an employee there?!
[18:38] <LjL> blizzkid: it might be /sys/bus/usb
[18:38] <sid_> btw. the bug is already filed here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/311748
[18:38] <genii> kc8pxy: Yes, in the kernel loading line of pxeboot.cfg  or so
[18:38] <cabrilo_> also, can Ubuntu's stock 32 bit kernel read 4gb ram?
[18:39] <LjL> dtech: ah, sorry, i didn't understand then. i don't know.
[18:39] <LjL> cabrilo_: no
[18:39] <packetcase> A friend of mine is trying to install ubuntu with a live cd. But he get's this error message when he tries to install: ACPI: Aborted because invalid compressed format (err=1)
[18:39] <LjL> packetcase: likely a faulty CD burn
[18:39] <LjL> !verify | packetcase
[18:39] <jpverkamp> Would this be the correct place to ask about a display issue concerning nvidia + Ubuntu 8.10 (I think)?
[18:39] <blizzkid> LjL: apparently you need to mount -t usbfs /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb/ I'll give that a go
[18:40] <dtech> If the sudoers file is modded ... can I boot to a Live CD and have sufficient permissions to change the necessary files on the installed OS?
[18:40] <mshanks> Hey all - was wondering if any one could offer some advice; I can't get past "Starting Hardware Abstraction Layer Hald" when trying to install on my desktop. (I've verified the CD already and it's ok). Any thoughts?
[18:40] <LjL> blizzkid: ah. well, perhaps you don't even need to mount it and you can just use /dev/bus/usb. anyway, try
[18:40] <packetcase> LjL: I have already used it to install ubuntu on my computer...
[18:40] <cabrilo_> LjL, :( thanks
[18:40] <LjL> dtech: for that matter, you can also just add "init=/bin/bash" to your kernel line from GRUB to boot into root.
[18:41] <LjL> packetcase: i don't know then
[18:41] <abhishekiitd> LjL:thanks your command for x server has worked...but my nvidia demands some kernel compilation..i think i need to get some essential library packages...what is the command for that?
[18:41] <Downing> Hello I'd like to speak to someone about graphic card's drivers and how I could sort them out. Currently I am using "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 177) [recommended]" but it's still quite bad and all dodgey of that makes any sense, scrolling isn't smooth and so on. I'd appreciate if someone could help me with this in private as there's quite a lot of people speaking in the channel. Thanks, P.S. I think ive got geforce 9600gs
[18:41] <abhishekiitd> somehting like sudo apt-get install essentials
[18:42] <packetcase> LjL: wait... Now he says it works?!
[18:42] <jpverkamp> Downing: Are you by chance having problems like this: http://jverkamp.com ?
[18:42] <cabrilo_> Downing: which card do you have? is it relatively new?
[18:42] <lo127> easiest way to check latest ssh logins? auth.log?
[18:42] <jpverkamp> Downing: http://jverkamp.com/Screenshot.png  Sorry.
[18:42] <Downing> I think it's GeForce 9600 GS

[18:42] <dtech> besides /etc/group and /etc/sudoers ... is there any other 'likely' files that could affect a users permissions?
[18:42] <cabrilo_> Downing: give me a second to try to find the link
[18:43] <blizzkid> LjL: no luck LjL (not even as root)
[18:43] <grawity> dtech: I think they're enough for sudo to work...
[18:43] <Downing> Nop nothing like in your screenshot
[18:43] <abhishekiitd> LjL:please give the command for installing essential library packages
[18:43] <Downing> It's alright, but it's not smooth if that makes any sense
[18:43] <abhishekiitd> p
[18:43] <jpverkamp> Downing: Ah, that's the issue I'm having with nvidia drivers.  Not sure about your issue, sorry.
[18:44] <LjL> abhishekiitd: "essential library packages"?
[18:44] <dtech> awesome .... thanks grawity, LjL and any others offering assistance ... it is appreciated
[18:44] <saerg> abhishekiitd: build-essential ?
[18:44] <Downing> I'm able to download drivers from the nvidia site, but then I don't know how to install them using console.
[18:44] <cabrilo_> Downing: it does... slow 2d... hold on, I have a script to fix the problem
[18:44] <Downing> thanks
[18:44] <cabrilo_> I just need to find it (at work now)
[18:44] <Downing> :)
[18:44] <abhishekiitd> LjL:yah something like sudo apt0get build essentials
[18:44] <LjL> !build-essential > abhishekiitd    (abhishekiitd, see the private message from ubottu)
[18:44] <abhishekiitd> LjL:yah something like sudo apt-get install essential
[18:44] <LjL> abhishekiitd: you don't need those unless you're trying to compile something
[18:44] <haytham-med> hi all, recording sound doesnot work
[18:45] <LjL> abhishekiitd: and if you need to compile something, make VERY sure you cannot get it from repositories instead
[18:45] <abhishekiitd> LjL:my nvidia installation requires some kernel installation

[18:47] <abhishekiitd> LjL:that's amazing,...i always thought drivers must be installed from their site
[18:48] <LjL> J-_: not very, if the files aren't in the db, perhaps it just doesn't know them yet - and i get the shm stuff too i think, isn't it just hidden files?
[18:48] <LjL> abhishekiitd: you were wrong. please read the link i gave you. nvidia drivers are INCLUDED with ubuntu, in a version specifically intended to work with ubuntu.

[18:59] <LjL> abhishekiitd: but to begin with, i'd wait a little more to see if anybody has a better supported method to try
[18:59] <abhishekiitd> LjL:ok...but in the meantime, how can i install envy?
[18:59] <LjL> arkanabar: still no idea, i'm only familiar with how long *my* computer takes to do things :)
[18:59] <nacho> Hi
[18:59] <LjL> !envy
[18:59] <jpverkamp> abhishekiitd: It's not for the same issue, but I did install the drivers using the method you mentioned.  It didn't make anything better or worse.

[19:00] <nmpribeiro> hi there ppl. I'm in need of a help. expresscard/34 and firewire issues... anyone?
[19:00] <abhishekiitd> LjL:but can i somehow make ubuntu detect my graphics in hardware drivers?
[19:00] <ghang>  hi , i would like to know , how to set "file browser" (with panel) become the default file browser
[19:01] <LjL> abhishekiitd: i just don't know.
[19:01] <grawity> nmpribeiro: Hi. Just tell us what's your probiem.
[19:01] <nacho> I've installed ubuntu in a computer with a geforce mx 400, so after installing it I've installed nvidia-glx-96, and now when I start the computer it starts with 640x480, after it if I restart the x server the right resolution appears, any clue what can be my problem?
[19:01] <grawity> *problem
[19:02] <nmpribeiro> grawity: well, accessing a dv camera through expresscard/34 doesn't function. Not a hardware problem as it works in windows. permissions and access to raw are set... don't know
[19:03] <dodolz> hi all
[19:03] <dodolz> hi all
[19:03] <grawity> Hi dodolz.
[19:03] <dodolz>  haiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[19:03] <mamat_> hi, what tools can i use to reencode mp3s with different bitrate/quality/etc?
[19:03] <LjL> don't spam please
[19:03] <genii> nmpribeiro: Do you have libavc1394-0  package installed?
[19:04] <LjL> !info soundconverter | mamat_, this probably does it graphically, but keep in mind it's not generally a good idea to reencode lossy formats
[19:04] <Downing> What's the command line for terminal to instal Java?
[19:04] <LjL> !java > Downing    (Downing, see the private message from ubottu)
[19:04] <LjL> Downing: long story short, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[19:04] <nmpribeiro> genii:  libavc1394-0 is already the newest version.
[19:05] <mamat_> i tried soundconverter but there aren't many options :( can't remember the name of the command line tool
[19:05] <saerg> mamat_: lame?
[19:06] <LjL> mamat_: you can pipe any mp3 decoder into any mp3 encoder. you'll lose quality, obviously.
[19:07] <saerg> LjL: lame has a buildin decoder
[19:07] <LjL> never said otherwise
[19:07] <mamat_> lookin at lame's man page... thx
[19:08] <Vcoder> Has anyone some ideas about not-detecting usb flash drives by 2.6.24-23 kernel?
[19:09] <lo127> anyone manage to get sftp logging filenames etc.?
[19:11] <Downing> silly question but how do I press ok
[19:11] <Downing> :D
[19:11] <dodolz> :)
[19:11] <ortsvorsteher> Downing: where?
[19:11] <tonyyarusso> Downing: in what context?
[19:11] <Downing> terminal for java installation
[19:11] <Downing> terms and conditions
[19:11] <dreamweb> is this the correct syntax to add a new source? : deb http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/ intrepid free non-free
[19:11] <tonyyarusso> Downing: tab until it's highlighted.
[19:11] <ortsvorsteher> Downing: scroll down to the end, there will be the solution...
[19:11] <Downing> genius
[19:11] <Downing> thanks :)
[19:12] <ortsvorsteher> :)
[19:12] <nmpribeiro> any ideas on PCMCIA-firewire problem?
[19:12] <dodolz> up date again...
[19:12] <Downing> Hmm i wonder if it has finished installing yet or no
[19:12] <tonyyarusso> dreamweb: looks right to me

[19:13] <Downing> lukas@PC:~$
[19:13] <Downing> is this done?
[19:13] <tonyyarusso> Downing: yes
[19:13] <macman> yes
[19:13] <Downing> Do I have to restart firefox or restart pc for it to work *java*
[19:14] <tonyyarusso> Downing: firefox possibly, pc no

[19:14] <Jimi_Neutral> Hey all, its the whining newb! :/0
[19:14] <sebsebseb> macman: ubuntu-restricted-extras you mean?
[19:15] <macman> yea that
[19:15] <dreamweb> tonyyarusso: it says failed to fetch.. when i do apt-get update ... i took this from an ubuntu forum post which is a year and a half old.. just replaced feisty with intrepid because thats what i am running..
[19:15] <Downing> says that java aint installed anyway
[19:15] <macman> im typing with one hand
[19:15] <Downing> apt-get install ubuntu-restrictions <--- in terminal?
[19:15] <macman> :P
[19:15] <sebsebseb> macman: maybe he don't want it all
[19:15] <pauldb> hey people
[19:15] <sebsebseb> Downing: go to a site that has a java applet.  if you don't know one, I can give you one
[19:15] <macman> true
[19:15] <tonyyarusso> dreamweb: that's because the server doesn't exist.
[19:15] <Downing> I know one
[19:15] <biglinux> boas
[19:15] <Downing> and it says that i havent got java
[19:15] <biglinux> ok
[19:16] <abhishekiitd> LjL:I Somhow manages to install nvidia, but i cant get 1280*760 resolution, which is ideal for my pc
[19:16] <abhishekiitd>  Somhow manages to install nvidia, but i cant get 1280*760 resolution, which is ideal for my pc
[19:16] <sebsebseb> Downing: ok  you can click on that and install sun java I expect
[19:16] <nmpribeiro> better ask in mailling list for this problem I guess... thank you ppl
[19:16] <Downing> it links me to there -> http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?host=java.com&returnPage=http%3A%2F%2Fworld23.runescape.com%2Fj1_o0_a0_m0
[19:16] <pauldb> if you want java for firefox
[19:17] <sebsebseb> Downing: probably easier to run this, then you get Flash, and AVI and MP3 suppourt etc. as well.   sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:17] <pauldb> you do it by entering this in a terminal : sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
[19:17] <sebsebseb> Downing: or  what pauldb said
[19:17] <Downing> im doing this already -> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:17] <dreamweb> tonyyarusso: hmm.. ok thanks
[19:17] <pauldb> sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin then restart firefox and tadaam
[19:18] <sebsebseb> pauldb: well if they know how to accept sun's lisense agreement :D

[19:20] <eqisow> jpverkamp: are you using desktop effects? If so, does it do it without them?

[19:23] <monestr> hi
[19:23] <Downing> still says that i ain't got java...
[19:23] <monestr> i'm having problems with ssh
[19:23] <jpverkamp> equisow: I have them enabled in that screenshot.  Without them the problem is less noticeable, but still happens after a bit.
[19:23] <monestr> it hangs whenever I get the password correct
[19:23] <eqisow> wompy: fdisk -l

[19:24] <grawity> monestr: If you use ssh -vv yourserver, what is the last thing it says?
[19:24] <eqisow> jpverkamp: I suggest trying the nv drivers. if that fixes we'll know if a different version of the nvidia drivers might help. Or, if you don't need 3D, you could just stick with them
[19:24] <Sapta> I want to set up 2 pppoe connections for the same ISP. But before that I want to get my ppp directory to its default. Since I'm a amatuer, i used the pppoeconf command too often and I think I have created a mess

[19:25] <jpverkamp> eqisow: I'd like 3D, but it's not strictly necessary.  I'll give it a try.
[19:25] <Downing> Pauldb done that already

[19:57] <Sapta> monestr: i see
[19:57] <monestr> and you removed the folder?
[19:57] <wwzhang> or actually unresponsive
[19:57] <wwzhang> using the command that you gave yes
[19:57] <eqisow> Sapta: a normal user install will install it to your home folder and will only run if you are logged in as that user. a root install will go (most likely) in /opt and be available systemwide
[19:58] <y2k> StR|Sangreal: it can convert too. it's very integrated and can download any extension you want off any site you want. "video download helper"
[19:58] <eilios> Hello, do any of you have experience with Alchera?
[19:58] <monestr> do you know how to update with synaptics?
[19:58] <wwzhang> ?
[19:58] <monestr> umm.. open up synaptics package manager
[19:58] <monestr> and update your system
[19:59] <eilios> I tried to run Alchera, but I got this error message: "Plugin Error: libmikmod.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory", and it says I have no game geners.
[19:59] <wwzhang> oh ok

[20:01] <wwzhang> under a separate "update manager"
[20:01] <macman> hey
[20:01] <monestr> sure
[20:01] <macman> i want to make an image of my cd
[20:01] <macman> dd if=/dev/cdr0m of=cd.iso ?
[20:01] <monestr> Should be in the top right
[20:01] <monestr> "Software updates available"
[20:02] <Sjimmie> macman: cdrom
[20:02] <Sjimmie> but it is correct
[20:02] <macman> yea that
[20:02] <monestr> oh your toolbar
[20:02] <kadaver> is scheme really the scripting lang of gnome? i thought python was?
[20:02] <eilios> Does anybody know how to manually add a default genre for Alchera?
[20:03] <wwzhang> it says that it was updated less than an hour ago
[20:03] <monestr> umm ok..
[20:03] <monestr> umm
[20:03] <monestr> try uninstall ssh and reinstalling in synaptics?
[20:03] <monestr> couldn't hurt
[20:03] <wwzhang> reinstall synaptics?
[20:03] <monestr> no
[20:03] <monestr> ssh
[20:03] <eilios> When I try to add a new game for Alchera(Mokoi gaming) it gives me this error message on startup "Plugin Error: libmikmod.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory", and when I click the new game it has no game types set up by default, any way to add one game type?

[20:04] <Matson> how can I figure out if this PCI RAID card is supported on Ubuntu
[20:04] <Matson> http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/sas.raidhba.int?l=en&a=view
[20:04] <Sapta> eqisow: thanks for the info, that seems more logical :)
[20:04] <macman> Sjimmie, will the iso be bootable ?
[20:04] <peeps[work]> somehow my docs recently started defaulting to open in Abiword, as opposed to OO.org, how can I change it back?  abiword is garbage
[20:04] <Defiance> pauldb: it installed but won't boot
[20:05] <rudnick11> Hello, is it true that "Adobe Flash Player" makes Ubuntu much more unsecure? is there a GNU alternative?
[20:05] <Defiance> I get ERROR 1: then something about the filename
[20:05] <eqisow> Sapta: You're welcome. The other fellow was probably thinking of Synaptic, which doesn't do normal user installs. However, a lot of programs with seperate installers, like commercial games, will install as a normal user
[20:05] <xukun> When try to insdtall a program called xbmc I get this error:  xbmc: Depends: xbmc-common (= 8.10final1-intrepid5) but 8.10final1svn19025-intrepid1 is to be installed. Any Idea about how to solve this?
[20:05] <wwzhang> do you know what is the particular file name? i mean package name for ssh?
[20:06] <monestr> probably ssh?
[20:06] <monestr> just search for it
[20:06] <eqisow> Sapta: and you can do it manually, of course
[20:06] <wwzhang> i did
[20:06] <wwzhang> a whole bunch came up
[20:06] <monestr> then look through them
[20:07] <Sapta> Is the /etc/ppp directory empty by default? :/
[20:07] <Sapta> I need to get it back to initial state?
[20:08] <monestr> sudo apt-get remove ssh
[20:08] <monestr> sudo apt-get install ssh
[20:08] <eqisow> Sapta: The only thing I know the recomend is booting from the livecd and checking against that. I'm not familiar with pppoe at all, I'm afraid
[20:08] <talirk81> if i set  the home setting in /etc/passwd for a user to /home  su works , but if i set it to /usr/local/rancid which the user owns  the  su process hangs, anyone have any ideas? /usr/local/rancid is 770 for rancid:rancid
[20:09] <Sapta> eqisow: good suggestion. I thought of that and then forgot it
[20:09] <eilios> Can anybody help with an alchera issue? When I try to add a new game for Alchera(Mokoi gaming) it gives me this error message on startup "Plugin Error: libmikmod.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory", and when I click the new game it has no game types set up by default, is there any way to add one game type?

[20:12] <scott-p-k> Has anyone tried the nmap conficker script?
[20:12] <aleray> hi, I'm trying to import a color profile generated on osx , by using xcalib. But the result has nothing to do with what is expected
[20:13] <monestr> rudnick11, open source gurus might bash your kneecaps in?
[20:13] <illumin8> Hello everyone, I am slightly confused on users in linux. When I run "w command" in terminal it lists there are 2 users. and futher searching shows that my user name is logged in twice. How can i tell if another user is actually logged in?
[20:13] <rickest> scott-p-k: yes
[20:14] <rudnick11> sry monestr, there's too much content it uses it...
[20:14] <grawity> illumin8: you can try using: ps -u someusername u
[20:14] <grawity> illumin8: it'll show the user's processes, including his shell, if he's logged in.
[20:14] <illumin8> grawity: Thanks ill try that :)
[20:14] <scott-p-k> rickest: Any success? Mine's scanning 32 hosts, and has been going for a little over an hour, keeps updating "NSE Timing: About 55% done; ETC: 15:12 (1:01:42 remaining) and the remaining keeps increasing
[20:15] <rickest> scott-p-k: that's very weird, all my scans were almost immediate
[20:15] <scott-p-k> 8.0.4?
[20:15] <scott-p-k> It flew through the port scan portion, it's been doing the NSE Timing thing forever
[20:15] <rickest> scott-p-k: the nmap in *buntu respositories does not include the smb (conficker) script; I download the latest version and compiled
[20:16] <scott-p-k> Yeah, that's what I did.
[20:16] <aleray> no idea ?
[20:16] <eilios> When I try to add a new game for Alchera(Mokoi gaming) it gives me this error message on startup "Plugin Error: libmikmod.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory", and when I click the new game it has no game types set up by default, any way to add one game type?
[20:16] <rickest> scott-p-k: not sure then, I didn't see anything extraordinary about the NSE timing
[20:16] <scott-p-k> Though, now that you mention it, I already had the repository package installed when I compiled the beta from source
[20:17] <rickest> scott-p-k: did you './configure prefix=/install/somewhere/else'?  that's what I did so they wouldn't conflict
[20:17] <Sapta> oh no, I installed wine as normal user. :(  How to unistall it?
[20:17] <cyclo> good evening everybody=)
[20:17] <Sapta> *uninstall
[20:17] <scott-p-k> No, just did a straight .configure. I think I'll try to remove the package then rebuild from source

[20:18] <eqisow> Sapta: How did you install it?
[20:18] <scott-p-k> (after find tells me whether or not there's 2 binaries)
[20:18] <eqisow> Sapta: This is the best way to install up-to-date wine: http://winehq.org/download/deb
[20:18] <Sapta> eqisow: used a command sth like ... apt-get wine . Not sure, copied from net
[20:19] <glitsj16> eilios: don't know how to add a game type, but to fix the error you need to "sudo apt-get install libmikmod2" (which is a portable sound library your game apparently expects to be available).
[20:19] <DSpair> G'day all.
[20:19] <Sapta> eqisow: but first need to uninstall it
[20:19] <eqisow> Sapta: if you used apt-get, it shouldn't have let you install as a normal user, anyway
[20:19] <DSpair> Anyone know any good links for optimizing Ubuntu for running on a 4xQuadCore system (16 cores)?
[20:20] <illumin8> grawity: That was helpful, i realized it must be a running process "daemon" under my own user name thats creating two seperate logins of myself.
[20:20] <eqisow> Sapta: but to be sure, 'sudo apt-get remove --purge wine' will get rid of it if it was installed with apt

[20:20] <unr3a1> I was curious if anyone else is using Ubuntu on a netbook with a resolution of 1024x600?
[20:21] <eilios> Glit, it came up again
[20:21] <eilios> Even after doing that
[20:21] <Sapta> eqisow: thanks. wine is installed in /home/username dir and using "sudo wine sth" says it's not owned by me O.O
[20:21] <illumin8> unr3a1: I have used it on a dell with 1024 resolution
[20:21] <mib_qiglw6> what up dogs
[20:22] <glitsj16> eilios: the same error about the missing plugin ?
[20:22] <mib_qiglw6> I'm from spain, I want to use accents
[20:22] <mads-> I have a webserver. Any way I can stream music from it through a web interface?
[20:22] <mib_qiglw6> and I can't
[20:22] <mib_qiglw6> ´a
[20:22] <Sapta> eqisow: I thought root could always use a program, ceratinly if the normal user can
[20:22] <unr3a1> illumin8, did you notice that some system menus (such as the login window setting) dont fit on the netbook displays?
[20:22] <mib_qiglw6> is wrong
[20:22] <eilios> Yes.
[20:22] <Sapta> eqisow: *certainly
[20:22] <mib_qiglw6> the tilde should be above the a
[20:23] <illumin8> unr3a1: thats actually quite common, i had to first resize the desktop to lower than the standard (800x600) then enable the nvidia drivers i could use, then resize it back to my desired 1024
[20:23] <eqisow> Sapta: do you still ahve the link to the instructions you used? by the way, be careful copy/pasting things from random sources!

[20:23] <unr3a1> illumin8, how do you do that?  I wouldnt know where to begin with that
[20:24] <illumin8> unr3a1: system>prefrences>screen screen resoultion.
[20:24] <glitsj16> eilios: can't explain why it still throws that error after installing the lib i'm afraid ...
[20:25] <unr3a1> illumin8, the lowest resolution I can set it to from there is 1024x600
[20:25] <illumin8> unr3a1: lower the resoultion to 800x600 and it will "blow up the images" but they should fit on your screen to allow you to update your drivers package under system > administration> hardware drivers
[20:25] <illumin8> unr3a1: theres no listing for under 1024
[20:25] <unr3a1> illumin8, no there is not
[20:25] <illumin8> unr3a1: one second let me google
[20:25] <unr3a1> kk
[20:26] <illumin8> unr3a1: do you have any hardware drivers installed yet?
[20:27] <BartoN-> best alarm clock software for linux  ?
[20:27] <sebsebseb> !best
[20:27] <illumin8> unr3a1: restricted ones i mean
[20:27] <unr3a1> illumin8, yes.  I do.  the ones for my intel 950
[20:27] <Sapta> eqisow: sorry, don't have the link.
[20:27] <glitsj16> mads-: if you are running apache as webserver, look into ampache (http://ampache.org) for streaming support .. the ampache package itself is in the regular ubuntu repositories, so easy to install
[20:28] <lushamania> Are you not able to manually specify an IRC server with the GNOME IRC client?
[20:28] <unitedpotsmokers> hello guys, good morning... i want capture screen, what software we should use?

[20:28] <illumin8> unr3a1: looks like 1024 is the standard for the GMA 950 integrated
[20:28] <Tumie> is it possible to upgrade from Intrepid to Jaunty Beta ???
[20:28] <jrib> unitedpotsmokers: press the PrintScreen button on your keyboard

[20:29] <BartoN-> hey which is the best alarm clock software for linux  ?
[20:29] <unr3a1> illumin8, that is correct
[20:29] <scythefwd> unitedpotsmokers, is it just the kernel and wm or is there a repository for apt to get more 64 bit stuff?
[20:29] <Fazavon> Buy and Andriod Device
[20:30] <unitedpotsmokers> jrib, after i press print screen, what should i do? open it with gimp?
[20:30] <illumin8> unr3a1: could you go to system>administration>hardware drivers, and check that the recommended is active?
[20:30] <mads-> glitsj16: Nice as it sounds, I was more looking for a webinterfaced music-player, if you catch my drift.. Saw it online a year ago, and completely forgot it's name
[20:30] <jrib> unitedpotsmokers: aren't you asked to save the file somewhere?
[20:30] <unitedpotsmokers> scythefwd, im not sure err, but i request ubuntu 64 long time ago...

[20:31] <illumin8> unr3a1: if its not active, activate the restricted drivers and reboot, see if your still having the errors.
[20:31] <unitedpotsmokers> jrib no.. maybe i should press [fn] button 1st?
[20:31] <unr3a1> illumin8, actually, the intel graphics is not included in that list.  only the broadcom wireless drivers
[20:31] <unitedpotsmokers> jrib, ok thanks it working

[20:42] <eqisow> Sapta: You don't need to run wine as root. What does just wine utorrent.exe give you?
[20:42] <disregardthat> Anyone?
[20:43] <Titan8990> BartoN-, np
[20:43] <Sapta> Next I typed" sudo -i" to get in as root and again tried "wine utorrent.exe"
[20:43] <voldermot> sapta: try giving full permission to .wine
[20:43] <sushiX> how do i get this + sign on the end ---->   crwxrwxr-x+ 1 root video 81, 0 2009-04-01 01:03 /dev/video0
[20:43] <voldermot> sapta: wat do u see?
[20:43]  * ellar is listening voldermot 
[20:43] <scythefwd> BartoN,  go into terminal and tyep "man cron".  That should give you all you need.  I don't know of a gui for it, afaik it is cli only
[20:43] <Sapta> wine: created the configuration directory '/root/.wine'
[20:43] <durt> RedMushroom, I doubt old win98 supports the newest version of UDF.

[20:43] <eqisow> JohnCane: I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with that program, I was just pointing out where you could read more information on running it in Wine. The appdb is generally the best source for those problems
[20:43] <Sapta> fixme:shell:DllCanUnloadNow stub
[20:43] <Sapta> wine: configuration in '/root/.wine' has been updated.

[20:44] <Cl0p1n> Does any of you know how to retrieve the title of website using Python & urllib?
[20:44] <disregardthat> Anyways, I tried NetworkManager to no avail.

[20:45] <scythefwd> remushroom, did you close out the session?  My 98 box won't read one unless I have.
[20:45] <durt> RedMushroom, dunno, haven't used win98 in a long time. :-)
[20:45] <Droopsta915> disregardthat:What is the problem you are having?
[20:45] <shruggar> how can I force X to stop displaying a window? I think the program it belongs to is long gone

[20:45] <sushiX> scott - p - k,  what do you use to view web cam feed
[20:45] <mads-> glitsj16: Did you say that ampache was in repos?
[20:45] <LargePrime> ok just installed 8.04 and the updates are going to take 2 hours to dld
[20:45] <RedMushroom> scythefwd: i used imgburn to make the disk
[20:45] <wiwo> assalamualaikum
[20:45] <Droopsta915> disregardthat:so, no gui?
[20:45] <disregardthat> LargePrime: I think that's normal.
[20:45] <voldermot> shrugger: kill the process
[20:45] <disregardthat> Droopsta915: Nope, no GUI.
[20:46] <LargePrime> great.  just thought i would check
[20:46] <disregardthat> It's my fault, I upgraded to Jaunty and I don't thnk everything went through.
[20:46] <emilien> scythefwd,  actually ma-by not correct as was mounting drives on vmware ... im not sure =/
[20:46] <glitsj16> mads-: yes it is, on Intrepid anyway, and ampache-themes as well
[20:46] <LargePrime> disregardthat.  should i get all updates before tring to fix anything?
[20:46] <Droopsta915> disregardthat:try the start X command
[20:46] <disregardthat> I did.
[20:46] <ellar> disregardthat, no gnome, kde by startx for example?
[20:47] <disregardthat> drmOpen fails.
[20:47] <eqisow> Sapta: first thing, you're still running wine as root, that's why the app directory is being created in /root. Run it as a normal user. second thing, have you taken a look at deluge as a torrent client?
[20:47] <mads-> glitsj16: How is it I check my version in terminal? :)
[20:47] <disregardthat> And it says it can't allocate memory.
[20:47] <disregardthat> I don't have a VideoRAM line in xorg.conf.
[20:47] <The-Mentor> you can also try virtualbox
[20:48] <clam> anyone got a minute to help me with a driver installation problem?  if so lemme know and i will pm you
[20:48] <Sapta> eqisow: no, utorrent seemed the best client on windows. I have to see if all sites allow deluge, probably not
[20:48] <|chiz|> could someone using the newest nvidia driver from the repos please pastebin thier xorg.conf for me?
[20:48] <Ienorand> disregardthat: have you tried disabling network-manager: "sudo update-rc.d -f NetworkManager" and then restarting and using "sudo dhclient eth0" (where eth0 is your interface).
[20:48] <glitsj16> mads-: "apt-cache show ampache" will show you
[20:48] <disregardthat> Can I just killall it for now?
[20:48] <disregardthat> Or will it respawn?
[20:48] <scythefwd> emilien, your running a vm?  I'm gonna have to bow out of this then as I don'know enough about their operating environs to troubleshoot them at the hal level
[20:48] <disregardthat> Also, dhhclient doesn't work.
[20:48] <eqisow> Sapta: Most do, what.cd does, any way. but deluge and ktorrrent (gnome and kde, respectively) seem to match utorrent on features pretty well
[20:49] <amgarchIn9> hi, is there some analogue of "rpm -V" verify mode? And "rpm -aV" ?
[20:49] <disregardthat> It never receives any replies.
[20:49] <mads-> glitsj16: It's not there.. I only haev 7.10
[20:49] <disregardthat> And I made sure to plug the cable in :P
[20:49] <j09> how well adopted are PCIE cards, when it comes to laptops? (specifically for wireless networking)
[20:49] <clam> i have tried using apt-get upgrade, nvidia's install off of their site, and envy.  and this ubuntu will not initialize the nvidia drivers.
[20:49] <clam> any ideas?
[20:49] <The-Mentor> |chiz| you should use utorrent under WINE
[20:49] <emilien> scythefwd, no problem im going to start fresh tomorrow my head aches after all those man pages =/
[20:49] <Sapta> eqisow: hmm, btw, I uninstalled wine again, but the folders are still there.
[20:50] <AndryZ> is it easy to use tftpd-hpa under ubuntu?
[20:50] <sebsebseb> Sapta: yes  remove .wine from  the  home folder
[20:50] <AndryZ> I need to run a tftp server on my ubuntu laptop
[20:50] <sushiX> please any good webcam viewer in ubuntu except cheese
[20:50] <sebsebseb> Sapta: and the icons  in the menu will stay, unless you remove those two from one of thos hidden folders
[20:50] <voldermot> disregardthat:r u ssure ur switch is up
[20:50] <disregardthat> Switch?
[20:50] <|chiz|> The-Mentor: thanks that's not what i was looking for though
[20:50] <scott-p-k> sushi: vlc or xawtv
[20:50] <disregardthat> This is a wired connection.
[20:50] <Sapta> eqisow: Is there a way to check if it's unistalled properly before deleting the folders from home and /root?
[20:50] <disregardthat> "No DHCPOFFERS received."
[20:51] <glitsj16> mads-: i see, looking around the ampache.org site to check if there are options to get it, hang on please

[20:52] <disregardthat> I'm on this computer, aren't I? ;)
[20:53] <eqisow> Sapta: You can just look in synaptic to see if it's installed. You can list hidden folder with show hidden folders in the file managers (or with ls -a)
[20:53] <The-Mentor> |chiz| cool
[20:53] <clam> installing with the download from nvidia
[20:53] <disregardthat> Droopsta915: Tried it.

[20:56] <ShinyHat> ellar: when i click an mp3 on a web page it asks what to do: download, or open, but open only has one option- audacity

[21:20] <durt> packetcase, well sovle that issue first then tackle the file sharing issue
[21:20] <glitsj16> asdf_n00b: that depends ... check your present version of gtk+ via synaptic (do a search on libgtk) and the -dev package should show up there as well

[21:23] <glitsj16> asdf_n00b: i'm missing the broader context here i'm afraid ... what are you trying to achieve ?
[21:23] <asdf_n00b> glitsj16  installing linuxdcpp
[21:24] <durt> unitedpotsmokers, that's for suspend/resume, swap needs to be bigger than ram

[21:29] <disregardthat> There's no output from dmesg | grep synaptics anyways...
[21:30] <disregardthat> mice or mouse?
[21:30] <pawel> mouse
[21:30] <voldermot> lockd: are u talking about the device?
[21:30] <unitedpotsmokers> mouse = big. mice = small... i think

[21:33] <carmony> Question: I just installed php5, apache, etc. for my 8.10 ubuntu server. The webserver works fine, but there are some php script I need to run via the terminal
[21:33] <disregardthat> xinput refuses to connect to the server
[21:33] <glitsj16> lockd: yes that sounds logical indeed
[21:33] <carmony> on CentOS I could do /usr/bin/php myscript.php but how do I do it on ubuntu 8.10?
[21:33] <glitsj16> carmony: sudo apt-get install php5-cli for those console scripts
[21:34] <disregardthat> Ah-HA!
[21:34] <disregardthat> They changed the protocol for adding input devices.
[21:34] <LjL> carmony: err... the same way?
[21:34] <carmony> glitsj16, you're a live saver, thanks!
[21:34] <disregardthat> I was messing with xorg.conf the whole time, and it uses HAL instead.
[21:35] <glitsj16> disregardthat: indeed, many web-based forum searches are outdated in that respect, confusing
[21:35] <lockd> it's still possible to configure X without hal. just more annoying
[21:35] <disregardthat> I think I'll pass.
[21:35] <lockd> yeah
[21:35] <glitsj16> carmony: very welcome, by the way, the cli version has its own php.ini, so take that into account
[21:35] <disregardthat> Annoying =/= what I'm looking for,
[21:35] <disregardthat> .
[21:36] <marctw> So there is no possible way to have remote resources acessed (over VPN) and local resources at the same time if I have the same IP range?
[21:36] <cratylus> anyone see an app for ubuntu like Steve Lamber's Self Control app for OS X ?
[21:36] <marctw> for example the local printer 192.168.1.100 with all ports and the remote server 192.168.1.169 with all ports
[21:36] <marctw> how would I do it?
[21:36] <marctw>  on this site here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-connect-to-windows-vpn-server-pptp-with-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon.html    it states only use VPN connection for these addresses, if I put the exchange IP in, will that work?
[21:36] <lockd> marctw: well, it will probably add a route for you
[21:37] <ikonia> marctw: ubuntugeek has questionable information/documentation
[21:37] <marctw> what should I do?
[21:37] <ikonia> marctw: just be aware, it's not an official guide
[21:38] <lockd> marctw: if not this is an example of a VPN route... http://www.pastie.org/433037
[21:38] <marctw> how to resolve my prob?
[21:38] <ikonia> marctw: what is your problem ?
[21:38] <lockd> marctw: are you getting destination unreachable?
[21:38] <Simetrical> Are there any packages of -server mainline kernels as well as -generic?  If not, would using -generic kernels on a server be problematic?
[21:38] <twodayslate> is it weird that my live CD of linux is faster than my actually installed OSs (XP + OSX) lol
[21:39] <ikonia> Simetrical: ubuntu desktop and the "generic" kernel make a greaet server

[21:42] <cousteau> anyway, it looks great
[21:42] <jcapinc> RichiH, I have that same problem
[21:42] <Gnea> marctw: reason I ask is, if it's not part of a production environment, I would just test the settings out and see what happens
[21:42] <sn00p-> ikaros, so this wouldn't work  	bcm43xx-injection-linux-2.6.20.patch	 ?
[21:42] <Gnea> marctw: that way, if something does go wrong, you'll be able to ask more informed questions :)
[21:42] <ikonia> sn00p-: I wouldn't advise applying patches unless you %101 know what you're doing
[21:43] <marctw> ikonia ?
[21:43] <ikonia> marctw: what ?
[21:43] <rdz> is the kernel what ships with linux-rt in intrepid also smp capable ? it wasn't, when intrepid was released back in octobre

[21:50] <Titan8990> lighttitan, np
[21:51] <lockd> judget_: if you had it configured before, you should just remove network-manager
[21:51] <genii> lighttitan: Put of course your own username where there is USER in the example
[21:51] <The-Mentor> bot
[21:51] <LjL> gage_bw: you shouldn't change your nickname while using mibbit, please leave and join again, or you won't be able to be heard
[21:52] <judget_> I did not configure anything except what was configured by the fresh install process
[21:52] <lighttitan> That did the trick, thanks Titan8990 and genii. People like you are the only reason I am able to stick with Linux, learning this stuff from scratch would be unbearable.
[21:53] <Titan8990> lighttitan, learning linux is a big step
[21:53] <Titan8990> lighttitan, happy i could help
[21:54] <NewtuUbuntu> My cell phone is not showing up on Ubuntu when I plug in the USB, any suggestions?
[21:54] <ikonia> NewtuUbuntu: what type of phone ?
[21:54] <NewtuUbuntu> Verizon Blitz
[21:54] <ikonia> NewtuUbuntu: is that a blackberry storm ?
[21:54] <aris_> Hello ! everybody
[21:55] <tonyyarusso> ikonia: No, it's a Verizon Blitz...
[21:55] <NewtuUbuntu> No. Verizon Blitz isn't a smart phone, it's just a normal phone with a QWERTY keyboard.
[21:55] <gage_bw> Is there a standard place or a 'manager' to download better mouse pointers? The red one I have on eeebuntu right now is fine except that it doesn't have an 'hourglass' - its hourglass is small and black.
[21:55] <ikonia> tonyyarusso: I thought verizon had some self branded blackberry's hence the question
[21:55] <aris_> I want know how to install software with Ubuntu 7.10
[21:55] <NewtuUbuntu> I knew why you asked, it's all good.
[21:55] <tonyyarusso> NewtuUbuntu: If it's any consolation, I've yet to get a Verizon phone to work at all.  Their firmware is awful.  :(
[21:55] <mb74> anybody knows an accounting tool for network interfaces with a gtk or gnome interface?
[21:55] <ikonia> NewtuUbuntu: I've no idea about that phone then, see if you see it with lsusb
[21:55] <sebsebseb> aris_: 7.10 is no longer suppourted  I think
[21:56] <NewtuUbuntu> ikonia what is lsusb? Should I already have that or do I have to download it?
[21:56] <NewtuUbuntu> tonyyarusso That's not good news, but thanks for the info.
[21:56] <ikonia> NewtuUbuntu: thats a command from the applications -> accessories -> terminal prompt
[21:56] <NewtuUbuntu> ikonia ok I'll try it, one sec.
[21:56] <rudapen> stupid KDE apps, how to make KDE apps launch URLs in firefox i am in gnome btw *sigh*
[21:57] <NewtuUbuntu> ikonia there's a new USB since I plugged the phone in "Curitel Communications Inc" seems phone-ish, now how do i use it?
[21:57] <Tobbe> Hi. I have shared a folder by right clicking on it in the Gnome file manager and selecting "Folder Sharing". I ticked "Guest access". Trying to access this share from one of my XP computers I'm asked for a username/password. On two other XP machines I can connect without a password. How do I get rid of the password prompt for that one computer that asks?
[21:58] <sebsebseb> Tobbe: ok so you installed Samba? and told the folder to be shared in XP?
[21:58] <ikonia> NewtuUbuntu: I've never heard of that device type at all, so I'm sorry to say I've got no idea off the top of my head
[21:58] <ikonia> NewtuUbuntu: what sort of functionality are you looking for
[21:58] <Tobbe> sebsebseb: no, I installed samba and told the folder to be shared in Ubuntu
[21:58] <sebsebseb> Tobbe: you need a shared folder in XP
[21:58] <Tobbe> sebsebseb: I'm trying to access it from XP
[21:58] <NewtuUbuntu> ikonia is there some way I can access it using it's lsusb code, etc? the functionality i am looking for is adding music and images to my phone via usb.
[21:58] <sebsebseb> Tobbe: oh the other way round hummmmm
[21:59] <sebsebseb> Tobbe: ok hopefully someone else can help
[21:59] <ikonia> NewtuUbuntu: you may be able to mount it as a "mass storage device" - which is basiclly a disk
[21:59] <Tobbe> sebsebseb: and as I said. I can access it from two XP machines, but not the third
[21:59] <NewtuUbuntu> ikonia how would i try that?
[22:00] <The-Mentor> hi guys how do i question the bot?
[22:00] <ikonia> NewtuUbuntu: if you look in /var/log/syslog you will see at the end of the file, something like (Device added, mass storage /dev/sdc"
[22:00] <ikonia> NewtuUbuntu: have a look see if you can see that
[22:00] <sebsebseb> The-Mentor: click his name in the name list
[22:00] <ikonia> NewtuUbuntu: something "like" that - not the same
[22:00] <packer> hello good evenning. Ubuntu configured my sound card as Nvidia nForce (ALC650F) but it is a realtek w/ ac97 how can I change this once my microphone doesn't work w/ the current configuration.?
[22:01] <jerryluc> i'm helping a friend out with his first experience with linux. I've never used ubuntu so i have some questions. is there a default repository that has "all" packages? if he has xubuntu installed, woun't amarok be in the repository because it isn't a kde environment?
[22:01] <R0b0t1> The default chess game will not let me connect to GGZ gaming zone. Every time I try, it keeps telling me I've been disconnected and grays out the box. Any bugs or something I should look for?
[22:01] <ikonia> jerryluc: the xubuntu/ubuntu/kubuntu repos are the same
[22:01] <NewtuUbuntu> ikonia how do I get to /var/log/syslog?
[22:01] <rhythmsoup> Hello folks
[22:01] <R0b0t1> jerryluc: If you want to install amarok, you can, but you need to install the KDE binaries.
[22:01] <ikonia> NewtuUbuntu: open it in a text editor
[22:01] <Zurg> so I need help with unbuntu install
[22:02] <ikonia> R0b0t1: I know this
[22:02] <R0b0t1> jerryluc: So yes, you will see it, and KDE will be downloaded as the dependencies.
[22:02] <bazooka> R0b0t1: install exaile
[22:02] <ikonia> R0b0t1: I know this
[22:02] <twodayslate> ellar: don't think clamtk is going to work
[22:02] <sebsebseb> jerryluc: why Xubuntu   instead of standard Ubuntu?   by the way if you want Ubuntu as well:  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop   or install from the package manager
[22:02] <twodayslate> I know I have virus/trojans and it has found none (44% complete)
[22:03] <R0b0t1> ikaros: Well, it wasn't addressed to you.
[22:03] <ikonia> sebsebseb: he can use whatever desktop he wants, if he likes xubuntu - thats his personal choice to make
[22:03] <bazooka> R0b0t1: exaile is for gnome ...works same as amarock ... and is very stable unlike amarock on gnome
[22:03] <sebsebseb> ikonia: indeed
[22:03] <jerryluc> sebsebseb: well it's my friends wish. i don't even use ubuntu,,,
[22:03] <jerryluc> but thanks anyway!
[22:03] <ikonia> sebsebseb: wo why tell him to install gnome desktop
[22:03] <Travis-42> I'm trying to adjust the settings of the synaptic touchpad on my laptop in Ubuntu 8.10.  Supposedly this can be done after I have enabled SHMConfig.  I followed the community ubuntu.com instructions for enabling shmconfig, but it still remains disabled.  Any ideas of what's needed?
[22:03] <NewtuUbuntu> ikonia there is an entry that says : usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4 -- usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[22:03] <ikonia> NewtuUbuntu: rats, doesn't look like it's pikcing it up as a mass storage device
[22:03] <Travis-42> actually, the mouse stopped working after following the instructions, in addition to shmconfig not being enabled
[22:04] <Zurg> so I installed Ubuntu x64 8.10, and it will go to the loading screen and then black out, same with kubuntu
[22:04] <sn00p-> what kernel versiond oes 8.10 use?
[22:04] <sebsebseb> jerryluc: you got Synaptic Package Manager in  Xubuntu?  if so that's a good start when it comes to installing stuff
[22:05] <packer> hello good evenning. Ubuntu configured my sound card as Nvidia nForce (ALC650F) but it is a realtek w/ ac97 how can I change this once my microphone doesn't work w/ the current configuration.?(I downloaded the driver but I don't know how to install it)
[22:05] <NewtuUbuntu> ikonia oh well, thanks for your help anyway
[22:07] <Zurg> so uh... no help?
[22:07] <haytham-med> hi all, how to record an internet stream?
[22:08] <sebsebseb> !patience | Zurg
[22:08] <rhythmsoup> Zurg: looks like you are trying a 64bit install, have you tried the ubuntu forums?
[22:08] <Deevz> If I hibernate, do I get the choice to either resume or boot into another os at boot time?
[22:09] <sebsebseb> Deevz: maybe, if your hibernation even works
[22:09] <matt___> My ext3 "Data" drive will no longer mount, dmesg | tail gives me this: http://pastebin.com/m11b263f4
[22:09] <Zurg> ubottu: Sorry, I'm just annoyed at the fact that I can't get it rolling. :(   Rythemsoup: No, I'll head over there next.
[22:09] <Deevz> Ill give it a try I guess
[22:10] <rhythmsoup> Zurg: when you say it backs out do you get an error message or the screen just disappears?
[22:10] <Zurg> just dissapears
[22:10] <sebsebseb> Zurg: heh  I trigggerd the bot :)
[22:11] <Zurg> I also tried hooking up to the motherboard video, becasue I had previously gotten it working (prior to reformat), and now it doesn't work :/
[22:11] <matt___> What can I possibly do about this: http://pastebin.com/m11b263f4
[22:11] <otm> if I use my home IP to ssh tunnel, how does it know which computer on the network to connect through?? since all machine are assigned the same IP :S
[22:11] <matt___> Is my drive crashed?
[22:11] <rhythmsoup> Zurg: perhaps its some issue with the screen drivers, you there is a link to some laptop compatibility tests, let me see if I can find it for you...
[22:11] <Zurg> I'm not laptop, it's desktop
[22:12] <mer53> Hi there, could anyone help me with a simple problem? ...I hope its simple anyhow
[22:13] <mdl-unit> How do I upgrade the kernel via the command line?  apt-get/aptitude upgrade/safe-upgrade always leaves it behind.
[22:13] <clam> yeah nvidia-xconfig did not work
[22:13] <rhythmsoup> Zurg: try this link for desktops and laptops alike
[22:13] <rhythmsoup> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[22:13] <clam> man i hate linux >_<
[22:13] <alfadis> hate nvidia
[22:13] <fractur3d> mdl-unit: aptitude full-upgrade will get kernel updates
[22:13] <markl_> clam: what are you trying to do?
[22:13] <kadaver> so I heard the kernel would be rewritten in Java, correct?
[22:13] <LargePrime> If i interrupt update mamger will ir resume where it left off
[22:14] <clam> trying to get my nvidia card to initialize
[22:14] <LjL> LargePrime: don't interrupt it
[22:14] <clam> i have tried everything
[22:14] <clam> i think
[22:14] <clam> :P
[22:14] <LjL> LargePrime: at least not while it's installing
[22:14] <LjL> LargePrime: if it's just downloading, then i guess you may interrupt it
[22:14] <th3pr0d1gy> hi
[22:14] <markl_> clam: what card is it, and what do you mean by "initialize"
[22:14] <clam> i have tried using apt-get upgrade.
[22:14] <LargePrime> LjL it is downloading and says it has 1 hour to go and i must leave
[22:14] <LjL> LargePrime: it will resume
[22:14] <clam> the drivers install successfully but when gnome launches it uses default vesa drivers
[22:14] <markl_> clam: which nvidia card is it?
[22:15] <clam> i know this because i cant change my resolution to anything past 800x600
[22:15] <LargePrime> LjL best way to stop it?
[22:15] <clam> mx4000
[22:15] <markl_> clam: wow i would expect that one to be supported by now :)
[22:15] <LjL> LargePrime: err, i don't know, i don't use it (i'm on kde and i use apt-get anyway). isn't there a cancel/stop button...?
[22:15] <clam> yeah me too
[22:15] <LjL> LargePrime: or, i guess just turning the computer off will work, honestly - again, as long as it's not installing
[22:15] <Ienorand> clam: what does "cat /var/log/Xo* | grep NVIDIA" give you?
[22:15] <clam> i wouldnt mind using the default vesa drivers but i cant get xbmc to work on it.
[22:15] <clam> no my terminal screwed up
[22:15] <clam> lemme try that again teno
[22:16] <otm> if I use my network N as an ssh tunnell, how does my laptop L know which machine (N:1-254) to connect through :S
[22:16] <LargePrime> ljl heh cancle makes it go to installing
[22:16] <Ienorand> clam: sorry might have asked before...
[22:16] <bazooka> how to install a usb modem in ubuntu 8.04 ??? do i require any drivers for it ?
[22:16] <LjL> LargePrime: err...
[22:16] <clam> failed to initialize glx driver
[22:16] <LargePrime> ljl LOLz
[22:16] <mer53> why cant terminal locate files to be converted (rpm - deb using alien)? they have been downloaded onto my desktop
[22:16] <clam> or im sorry glx extension
[22:17] <markl_> clam: did you install nvidia-glx
[22:17] <AntiNeko> Hey, PulseAudio is installed but won't show  up in Sound Preferences. Trying to start it through terminal gives me: "pulseaudio: error while loading shared libraries: libpulsecore.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[22:17] <sebsebseb> !alien | mer53
[22:17] <LjL> !adsl | | bazooka, might this help?
[22:17] <clam> yes but i can try doing it again
[22:17] <LjL> LargePrime: sorry, i did say i don't use it :(
[22:17] <Travis-42> anyone know how to configure synaptics touchpad in ubuntu 8.10?  I'm trying to enabled SHMConfig via xorg.conf, but it doesn't seem to be working
[22:17] <LargePrime> ljl No prop.  it didnt install.  fooled me.  it just started dlding again
[22:17] <aguitel> jj
[22:17] <clam> it says its the latest one installed
[22:17] <LargePrime> ok so i am good
[22:17] <markl_> clam: ideally it would help if we could see your Xorg log file
[22:17] <LjL> !synaptics | Travis-42
[22:18] <JessicaParker> wirelss assistance need -
[22:18] <clam> which directory is it?
[22:18] <twodayslate> how do I clear my RAM?
[22:18] <markl_> clam: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[22:18] <LargePrime> thanks all
[22:18] <Ienorand> clam: /var/log
[22:18] <markl_> it is long
[22:18] <Ienorand> clam: http://www.pastebin.com
[22:19] <mer53> Im trying to install gfx drivers  ...... actually installing anything is a pain in the arse ......... but Im determined not to give up
[22:19] <markl_> clam: the first thing to look for is if it detects the card, e.g. mine says (II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU Quadro FX 1500M (G71GL) at PCI:1:0:0 (GPU-0)
[22:19] <Travis-42> LjL: I have followed those instructions.  When I try to enable SHMConfig by following them, either 1) nothing happens (if I use xorg.conf) or 2) the mouse gets disabled (if I use the HAL fdi file)
[22:19] <Zurg> joy, my mobo isn't supported. :(
[22:19] <macman> done
[22:19] <packer> hello good evenning. Ubuntu configured my sound card as Nvidia nForce (ALC650F) but it is a realtek w/ ac97 how can I change this once my microphone doesn't work w/ the current configuration.?(I downloaded the driver but I don't know how to install it)
[22:19] <JessicaParker> i am connect via wirelss but nothing is showing under the netrowk conneciton menu - any ideas ?
[22:20] <bazooka> sudo pppoeconf command works for usb modem too ??? or is it only for ethernet modems ?
[22:20] <palomer> hello, if I install ubuntu on my usb key, can I bring my usb key to school and use the applications that are on my usb key (while using my school computers which run fedora 9) ?
[22:20] <clam> um
[22:20] <mike09> your school runs fedora?
[22:20] <mike09> cool
[22:20] <clam> how do i get the whole txt to copy over to pastebin?
[22:20] <LjL> Travis-42: i'm not familiar with the way Intrepid handles input, but if you do the changes in xorg.conf, then you'll need to restart X - have you done that?
[22:21] <Travis-42> LjL: yea I've tried that.  I'll try posting in the ubuntu forums
[22:21] <Travis-42> thank you though, LjL
[22:21] <Dreamglider> palomer: it should work if you can have the school PC boot from USB
[22:21] <sebsebseb> palomer: why not just use Fedora?  and I guess you can do a Linux apps  USB stick, but one that runs Ubuntu and inside Fedora I think not, because  there would have to be virtual machine software used
[22:21] <markl_> clam: not sure, maybe start by just grepping the lines with NVIDIA in them
[22:21] <mer53> is it possible to enable all the features of my NF7-s motherboard? are the Ubuntu drivers 'generic' and limited or do they allow decent functionallity?
[22:21] <Ienorand> clam: nano /var/log/Xorg.0.log and then use mouse to copy?
[22:22] <markl_> clam: grep NVIDIA /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[22:22] <mib_1hlovtsf> How do I make a keyboard shortcut start an application?
[22:22] <JessicaParker> http://imagebin.ca/view/LS4Shd1.html
[22:22] <clam> http://pastebin.com/d4b3fdd69
[22:22] <palomer> Dreamglider, im booting from my hard disk
[22:22] <clam> there you go markl_ and Tenorand
[22:23] <palomer> sebsebseb, install fedora on the usb stick?
[22:23] <mib_1hlovtsf> On xandros I could make win+f start firefox, for instance. How do I do that in (eee/u)buntu?
[22:23] <JessicaParker> http://imagebin.ca/view/lnPKuc.html
[22:23] <palomer> all I want to do is run my applications on my school computer (where I only have access to my home folder)
[22:24] <Dreamglider> palomer: youll have to see if the pc's at school can boot from USB, if not youll have to enable it in BIOS
[22:24] <clam> any ideas Teno?
[22:24] <clam> markl_?
[22:25] <Dreamglider> palomer: but the BIOS might be password protected mind you
[22:25] <palomer> I don't think I can boot from usb
[22:25] <JessicaParker> anyone any ideas ?
[22:25] <sebsebseb> JessicaParker: the link you gave is weird
[22:25] <clam> sorry jessicaparker.  good luck though.
[22:26] <Dreamglider> palomer: if you can Boot from CD you can make a Boot CD and then have it boot from USB
[22:26] <palomer> how does a boot cd help  me?
[22:26] <sebsebseb> JessicaParker: bad screenshot link
[22:26] <AntiNeko> What's "libpulsecore.so.9"? I can't seem to start PulseAudio without it
[22:27] <Dreamglider> palomer: it will boot and give you a boot menu from which you can choose to boot HD`s Floppies CD's and USB's
[22:27] <clam> ....
[22:27] <sebsebseb> JessicaParker: ok now it loaded up, what's the problem?
[22:28] <mike09> that site is slow
[22:28] <mike09> try imageshack.us
[22:28] <markl_> clam: can you do the same with your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:28] <clam> yeah this is not fun.  i cant even get a linux machine to install videodrivers correctly >_<
[22:28] <clam> yeah sure markl_
[22:28] <noren> !preload
[22:28] <JessicaParker> sebsebseb: are you sure ?
[22:28] <JessicaParker> looks ok on mine
[22:28] <markl_> clam: you should see a line that says something like     Driver         "nvidia"
[22:28] <palomer> Dreamglider, oh, that's an idea
[22:28] <noren> !info preload
[22:28] <JessicaParker> sebsebseb: 1 is showing i have a connection the other is not
[22:28] <Dreamglider> palomer: i use it on my old laptop that has no USB boot option in the BIOS
[22:29] <sebsebseb> JessicaParker: I just told you it loaded up, but yes it was slow,  and what's the  problem?  signal strength 99% etc
[22:29] <JessicaParker> sebsebseb: so that is going on
[22:29] <twodayslate> ellar: clamtk found 6 viruses/trojans :D
[22:29] <v0lksman> what sets the DNS in Jaunty if NetworkManager isn't installed?
[22:29] <JessicaParker> sebsebseb: yes but the other one is showing no connection
[22:29] <Dreamglider> palomer: PLoP Boot Manager v5.0 you can find it here > http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html
[22:29] <clam> http://pastebin.com/d51874e45
[22:29] <clam> there ya go markl_
[22:29] <sebsebseb> JessicaParker: wlan0.png I am looking at what's the link for the other one?
[22:29] <palomer> Dreamglider, oh, I have to use a special boot cd
[22:31] <JessicaParker> sebsebseb: im on wirelss it is working.........however if i go to the library i have no way of connecting to anything else as its an open network and my network connection cant seem to see anything
[22:31] <clam> i found it markl_
[22:31] <clam> but
[22:32] <clam> how do i get this card to work correctly then?
[22:32] <JessicaParker> sebsebseb: i configured the current wireless using command line
[22:32] <Ienorand> clam: from what I can see (I'm not really extremely savvy on this...) it seems like it doesn't even try to load the proprietary driver...
[22:32] <Dreamglider> palomer: if you cant access the BIOS to set usb as a first boot device then yes youll have to use a bootcd but that might not work as most new pc's have a harddisk set as first boot device
[22:32] <sebsebseb> JessicaParker: yeah  wireless in Ubuntu tends to need to be configured
[22:32] <clam> exactly ienorand
[22:32] <sebsebseb> JessicaParker: and you can add connectiosn to network connections, but it probably won't be as simple as just that to connect to one
[22:32] <clam> but i tried using envy, the download from nvidia,
[22:32] <fer> Buenas
[22:32] <clam> and apt-get upgrade
[22:32] <clam> and none of these methods have worked
[22:32] <Picassotamus> !enter | clam
[22:33] <clam> sorry picasso
[22:33] <Picassotamus> clam: np
[22:33] <clam> but any of those methods should have worked
[22:33] <noren> how can i get msoffice fonts in openoffice
[22:33] <sebsebseb> JessicaParker: maybe you got to set up every wireless you want to connect to unless... hummm
[22:33] <clam> i am especially disappointed in envy, i thought envy would work
[22:33] <noren> !font
[22:33] <Ienorand> clam: have you tried the standard method?
[22:33] <durt> clam, that log says nvidia drivers version 96 is being loaded, what is not working right?
[22:33] <sebsebseb> !wireless |  JessicaParker
[22:34] <clam> what is standard ieno?
[22:34] <JessicaParker> sebsebseb: do you know anything about it...? yes ive read through the hundreds of pages of this stuff..........and yes i can configure via command line
[22:34] <sierinjs> is someone using Code:Blocks?
[22:34] <fer> alguien de Argentina?
[22:34] <clam> (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
[22:34] <clam> i have that line in my xorg log
[22:34] <talntid> If I wanted to show a spreadsheet on a screen, but not edit it.. and show the changes when someone else edits it... any idea how one would do that?
[22:34] <JessicaParker> but i cant seem to get my guis to see the same thing.........is this normal ?
[22:35] <sebsebseb> JessicaParker: don't know, since people tend to configure it with the GUI
[22:35] <LjL> !ar | fer
[22:35] <markl_> clam: that is a weird problem, the PCI looks right
[22:35] <fer> ok muchas gracias
[22:35] <clam> exactly.  what am i missing here?  and is there a way to fix it markl_?
[22:35] <sebsebseb> JessicaParker: ,but there are about 4 diffenret network connections things in Ubuntu, and it can be confussing
[22:35] <sierinjs> is someone using C::B in ubuntu? @@@
[22:36] <Ienorand> clam: jockey "hardware drivers".
[22:36] <allowoverride> hello, i have a question about compiz or something better you may suggest. if so please post the link in PM or in room, thanks. the question is for hardy 8.04 LTS - howto run compiz without killing my box, as it does in the past. any suggestions where to begin? i would like 3d desktop, something cool that will work with this card... ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X1400
[22:36] <sebsebseb> JessicaParker: some sites will even say to ignore things like the network icon.
[22:36] <clam> you mean system>hardware drivers?
[22:36] <markl_> clam: there is always a way to fix it.  you may want to try joining #nvidia, and save those pastebin addresses
[22:36] <clam> i have tried that.  it doesnt want to work
[22:36] <sebsebseb> JessicaParker: if you try to connect at the library, the connection works or not?
[22:36] <markl_> clam: those guys can tell you for sure if there is an incompatibility
[22:37] <Dreamglider> allowoverride: you on a Dell inspiron 9400 ?
[22:37] <clam> it says it enables the drivers but then i cant get my resolution to change
[22:37] <clam> i will try the nvidia irc
[22:37] <clam> thanx markl_
[22:37] <markl_> clam: cool, good luck
[22:37] <Ienorand> clam: yea, don't think I've got much more to suggest unfortunately
[22:37] <LjL> !away > rdw200169`afk    (rdw200169`afk, see the private message from ubottu)
[22:37] <Transience39> does flash still support only ubuntu 32 bit?
[22:38] <antonio_> CIAO A TUTTI
[22:38] <allowoverride> Dreamglider: its an inspiron 6400
[22:38] <Shivam> i run x64 and i have flash
[22:38] <LjL> antonio_: HANNO INVENTATO IL MINUSCOLO
[22:38] <allowoverride> ...
[22:38] <LjL> !it | antonio_
[22:38] <Transience39> so there's no problem using x64 anymore?
[22:38] <allowoverride> ...
[22:38] <Shivam> not really
[22:38] <Transience39> okay, thanks
[22:38] <Shivam> yeah
[22:38] <Cpudan80> flash works with x64
[22:38] <The-Mentor> !backup
[22:38] <Cpudan80> if thats the real question
[22:39] <Cpudan80> Not because adobe got smart either -- because ubuntu got smarter ;-)
[22:39] <allowoverride> i new i should have gotten an nvidia... dop!
[22:39] <sn00p-> nvidia ftw
[22:39] <Ienorand> Transience39: I'm using flash on 64bit, it seems to work... but sometimes it needs a reinstall randomly, dunno if that has anything to do with it though...
[22:39] <rjrjr> is rhythmbox still the default player for jaunty even though development has stopped?
[22:40] <macman> guys .. is there a way to make it so when i right click in side of gnome/nautilus i get a Terminal here  ?
[22:40] <Dreamglider> allowoverride: ok well i just installed the restricted drivers and compiz worked fine, dual monitor, dual "cubu" pretty nice :) but i removed it coz it caused any videoplayback to "jerk" and flicker :/
[22:40] <Dreamglider> cubE*
[22:40] <JessicaParker> sebsebseb: dont worry, the point is i cant see the network in the library or at home and need a gui to see it.
[22:40] <allowoverride> maybe try turn off desktop extras
[22:40] <JessicaParker> my gui recongnieses my home connection but the network manager does not
[22:41] <allowoverride> i forget what thats called, but when i turned off those, i didnt get flickers anymore with other games i was playing... but as for the compiz, i have yet to see it work....
[22:41] <sebsebseb> JessicaParker: yeah pretty sure I read stuff about network manager, not being that good
[22:41] <allowoverride> bbiab thanks
[22:41] <sebsebseb> JessicaParker: and how it won't recognize things etc
[22:41] <JessicaParker> sebsebseb: so anyone know of an alternative gui ?
[22:41] <sebsebseb> JessicaParker: and on network connections, you can add your wireless graphicalley
[22:41] <JessicaParker> i take it the gui just presents the actual connections in a graphical manner ?
[22:42] <sebsebseb> JessicaParker: yeah
[22:42] <sebsebseb> JessicaParker: KDE will use something different
[22:43] <JessicaParker> sebsebseb: what a different file for configuration ?
[22:43] <sebsebseb> JessicaParker: you don't know what KDE is????
[22:43] <sebsebseb> JessicaParker: KDE/Kubuntu
[22:44] <ryanCH> is there a 64-bit version of ubuntu?
[22:44] <sebsebseb> ryanCH: of course
[22:44] <rhythmsoup> i have a question on totem movie player, if i play any avi movie on this PC X windows will freeze up and although the linux subsystem is running ok, i can ssh to the machine etc, even a gdm restart wont bring it back
[22:44] <JessicaParker> sebsebseb: i think you are out of your depth on the advice
[22:45] <rhythmsoup> anyone suggest a better alternative movie player?
[22:45] <sierinjs> HI!
[22:45] <sierinjs> i got 1 question, about Code::Blocks
[22:45] <sierinjs> is anyone using it?
[22:45] <sebsebseb> JessicaParker: maybe, but  for alternative wireless  GUI's what I said :D   have you looked in synpatic and searched for wireless by the way,  to find out what kind of stuff comes up,  there could be something useful
[22:46] <sebsebseb> rhythmsoup: alternative to what?
[22:46] <hommeentete> hey does anyone know of a way to speed up play back of a .swf?
[22:46] <rhythmsoup> sebsebseb: alternative to Totem
[22:46] <sebsebseb> rhythmsoup: your on 8.10?
[22:46] <rhythmsoup> sebsebseb: no 8.04 32-bit
[22:46] <sierinjs> hommeentete: kill everything, ecxept the swf viewer ;D
[22:46] <sebsebseb> rhythmsoup: ok  get vlc. and the ppa for banshee
[22:47] <rhythmsoup> sebsebseb: ppa? what is that?
[22:47] <sebsebseb> !ppa
[22:47] <JessicaParker> rhythmsoup: mplayer seems the better after trying a few out
[22:47] <sebsebseb> rhythmsoup: yeah the version of Banshee in 8.04 is not  that good, so you get the ppa for a better version, which is also the version in 8.10
[22:48] <dudette> do you guys think that it will be worth upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04? i mean what are the big improvements?
[22:48] <rhythmsoup> sebsebseb: thx
[22:48] <sebsebseb> JessicaParker: depends on the user, but sure mplayer can play pretty much anything with the codecs installed
[22:48] <sebsebseb> rhythmsoup: sure may as well do mplayer as well
[22:48] <magnetron> !jaunty | dudette
[22:48] <The-Mentor> what is the best solution for backup to a network drive in ubuntu 8.10?
[22:48] <diegosouza> hey leon, it's me, Diego Souza
[22:48] <sebsebseb> rhythmsoup: sudo apt-get install vlc  mplayer
[22:48] <leonwool> Hi
[22:48] <sebsebseb> rhythmsoup: and i'll get the ppa link
[22:48] <leonwool> How did this channel get created
[22:49] <mike09> I use VLC on 32 bit 7.10
[22:49] <rhythmsoup> sebsebseb: thanks
[22:49] <mike09> videolan.org
[22:49] <dudette> but there are no major improvements as compared to 8.10
[22:49] <dudette> are there?
[22:49] <Janiczky> eh
[22:49] <Janiczky> autojoin unrulez
[22:49] <Janiczky> hi all
[22:49] <Picassotamus> dudette: again this is for support of the current release, not discussion of the next : /
[22:50] <dudette> understood, sorry
[22:50] <Downing> Hey! Random question..
[22:50] <Downing> Is there some sort of program or plugin *whatever* which would turn off the computer after set time? Like... a timer.. countdown
[22:50] <sebsebseb> rhythmsoup:  https://launchpad.net/~banshee-team/+archive/ppa
[22:50] <judget__> I cut my self off accidentally
[22:51] <Downing> *purpose - I leave computer on with music playing and go to bed , but want it to turn off after an hour*
[22:51] <Downing> :)
[22:51] <sYskk> I own a dedicated server but all I access I have to it is through the shell. Is there any way I can set up a virtualized OS ?
[22:51] <DigitalKiwi> downing use sleep
[22:51] <Picassotamus> Downing: sudo shutdown -h +60 would do that... look at the man page for shutdown :)
[22:51] <LjL> Downing: uhm, i think i recall some music players having that feature built in, not sure which though
[22:51] <rhythmsoup> sebsebseb: thanks again :)
[22:52] <Downing> :)
[22:52] <sebsebseb> leonwool: using magic :D   in 2005
[22:52] <DigitalKiwi> or what Picassotamus said
[22:53] <sebsebseb> mike09: 7.10 no longer suppourted
[22:53] <Downing> would this work
[22:53] <Downing> sudo shutdown -h 18:45
[22:53] <LjL> Downing: it should
[22:53] <Downing> ok let me try.. :D
[22:53] <sebsebseb> dudette: the only major improvement with 9.04 is Ext4 suppourt, and you would have to clean install for proper Ext4 suppourt anyway
[22:54] <LjL> uhm
[22:54] <hommeentete> does anyone have a way to speed up playback for .swf?
[22:55] <NuuBuntu> How can I access a USB device if I know Ubuntu is reading it, but no GUI pops up?
[22:55] <sirjoebob> hey all. i need to completely remove tweetdeck to reset it to default settings, anyone know how in ubuntu?
[22:57] <Picassotamus> NuuBuntu: you may want to be a bit more specific about "access" but via terminal -> 'cd /media/usb' or something like that
[22:57] <The-Mentor> what is the best solution for backup to a network drive in ubuntu 8.10?
[22:57] <sebsebseb> !backup
[22:57] <The-Mentor> i read these
[22:57] <tech_help> I'm using RAID1.  If I pull one drive out and make changes to the drive still in the system, then I put the second drive back, will it be automatically synced up with the latest changes?
[22:57] <The-Mentor> the problem with sbackup is that there is no indication bar or estimated time it just runs a prossess in the background
[22:58] <sebsebseb> The-Mentor: yeah and the best bot I don't think can tell you
[22:58] <LjL> The-Mentor: it also mentions rsync among other things.
[22:58] <glitsj16> sirjoebob: tweetdeck isn't in the repo's .. how did you install ?
[22:58] <The-Mentor> LjL i read about rsync but its too complicated for a backup solution
[22:58] <NuuBuntu> picassotamus I am trying to access my verizon phone to upload music and images. I plug my phone in, and after using sudo tail -f /var/log/messages, have seen Ubuntu acknolwedge the phone, but no sort of GUI pops up to allow me to upload or download from the phone.
[22:59] <The-Mentor> LjL: or maybe thats the way it seems to me
[22:59] <Picassotamus> NuuBuntu: Is it listed under Places?
[22:59] <LjL> The-Mentor: very many people use it for backup. "best" is relative.
[22:59] <NuuBuntu> picassotamus no it's not listed under places
[23:00] <The-Mentor> LjL: ok what would you recommend?
[23:00] <LjL> The-Mentor: besides, there are graphical front-ends to it
[23:00] <LjL> The-Mentor: i don't know.
[23:00] <mint3> my wireless, madwifi, is not working
[23:00] <mint3> even tried ndiswrap, but to no avail
[23:00] <The-Mentor> LjL: thanks for the tip then i'll check it out and read about it more. any recommendation regarding a front end gui for rsync?
[23:00] <mint3> anyone can help
[23:00] <Picassotamus> NuuBuntu: Well, assuming that it is mounted, it should be under /media afaik, does it mention mount point in your log?
[23:01] <ChrisHerlein> Hello
[23:01] <sebsebseb> ChrisHerlein: hi
[23:02] <kernel32> irc.malvager.com
[23:02] <ChrisHerlein> I'm bored
[23:02] <mint3> help me then
[23:02] <mint3> i cant get my wireless to work
[23:02] <ChrisHerlein> What pas?
[23:02] <mint3> can anyone help out ?
[23:02] <sebsebseb> !ot |  ChrisHerlein
[23:02] <ChrisHerlein> Ok.
[23:02] <Formoden> Hi there, having a problem with Windows 7 and GRUB... Anyone willing to help me out?
[23:02] <sYskk> is it possible to install a virtual machine from shell on ubuntu ? Id like to virtualize windows xp to test some html layouts using RealVNC or something
[23:03] <sebsebseb> !Grub |  Formoden
[23:03] <caimlas> I've got a problem with my audio in ubuntu 8.10. It was working, and now for whatever reason, it is not working. I don't know what might have caused it; I don't think I changed anything (appears to have stopped working upon a reboot). when I try and reload alsa ('alsa reload') I'm told "Loading ALSA sound driver modules: (none to reload)." this is an ibm thinkpad x30 with i830 chipset (ac97 audio, I think)
[23:03] <mint3> anyone can help with my wireless problem
[23:03] <sebsebseb> sYskk: virtual machine using a shell?  or  instead of a GUI?
[23:03] <mint3> ndiswrapper didnt work nor did madwifi
[23:03] <twodayslate> I found 7 viruses in XP. Now how do I fix them? They are in system files so I can't delete them? ClamTK did work :D
[23:03] <sebsebseb> !patience | mint3
[23:03] <NuuBuntu> picassotamus it doesn't seem to list the mount point in the log. /media shows two cdrom cdrom0 floppy and floppy0
[23:03] <Formoden> sebsebseb, I've tried those... I'm getting a "bootmgr not found"  error when I go into Windows though. So grub's set up correctly as far as I can tell.
[23:04] <mint3> ok sorry
[23:04] <mint3> !patience | chris_
[23:04] <sYskk> sebsebseb: well, the only way I can install it is from shell... thats the only access I have to my dedicated server
[23:04] <sebsebseb> sYskk: ok sounds like your after qemu or kqemu
[23:04] <sebsebseb> !qemu
[23:05] <rhythmsoup> hey sebsebseb
[23:05] <sebsebseb> !kqemu
[23:05] <Picassotamus> NuuBuntu: That is wierd.  You may have to mount it yourself then... Have you checked the forums, i would imagine that is a pretty common task/problem
[23:05] <sYskk> sebsebseb: thx !
[23:05] <rhythmsoup> interestingly enough, i just tried mplayer and hit the same problem
[23:05] <mint3> sebsebseb you are so smart dude
[23:05] <LjL> The-Mentor: not really, i'm just reading the page at http://www.debianadmin.com/rsync-backup-web-interfacefrontend-or-gui-tools.html
[23:05] <NuuBuntu> picassotamus Yes, I've checked the forums. A lot of people have had the problem but I am yet to find a thread that's been solved. How would I go about mounting it manually?
[23:05] <sYskk> sebsebseb: will I be able to install with no GUI ?
[23:05] <reeeh2000> hello everyone, the problem I am having is that when I open kate, the windows border dissapears, and kate's window takes up the whole screen covering up the menu bars.  Any ideas?
[23:05] <rhythmsoup> where can i look in my logs to see why playing a video brings the whole desktop to a halt?
[23:05] <sebsebseb> sYskk: yeah qemu  basically runs in kernel,  also  kvm comes to mind
[23:06] <sebsebseb> !kvm
[23:06] <sebsebseb> sYskk: I meant runs in terminal
[23:06] <mint3> !kde
[23:06] <mint3> !madwifi
[23:06] <Picassotamus> NuuBuntu: You would have to know what device it is listed as under the /dev directory... also, does lsusb list anything useful?
[23:06] <Formoden> !Beer Mint3
[23:06] <The-Mentor> LjL: thanks i'll check it out
[23:06] <sebsebseb> mint3: uhmmmm ok
[23:06] <caimlas> I've got a problem with my audio in ubuntu 8.10. It was working, and now for whatever reason, it is not working. I don't know what might have caused it; I don't think I changed anything (appears to have stopped working upon a reboot). when I try and reload alsa ('alsa reload') I'm told "Loading ALSA sound driver modules: (none to reload)." this is an ibm thinkpad x30 with i830 chipset (ac97 audio, I think)
[23:07] <LjL> The-Mentor: i've also just listed a couple of backup programs into BestBot in #ubuntu-bots if you want to take a look.
[23:07] <LjL> The-Mentor: it's mainly ones i've got from the wiki pages, anyway
[23:07] <mint3> :(
[23:07] <NuuBuntu> picassotamus there are several different things I've seen it listed as, what would the command be to mount it, I'd have to try it on each name. Here is the feedback from lsusb: Bus 001 Device 006: ID 106c:2402 Curitel Communications, Inc.
[23:07] <sebsebseb> !sound |  caimlas
[23:07] <Rabbitbunny> caimlas: I've got the same issure, it's "won't fix", revert to 8.04 or wait for the next LTS.
[23:07] <mint3> my wireless is still not working, so sad
[23:07] <sirjoebob> i deleted the key that tweetdeck uses in ubuntu's password and encryption key menu and now i cant get tweetdeck working even after reinstalling air and TD. anyone have ideas?
[23:08] <Rabbitbunny> rhythmsoup: Xorg.0.log
[23:08] <rhythmsoup> Rabbitbunny: its a bit of a funny log that, theres no times etc
[23:08] <Rabbitbunny> rhythmsoup: Yup.
[23:08] <caimlas> Rabbitbunny, it 'won't fix'? did your problem spontaneously occur recently, or did it happen when you upgraded to 8.10? because I've been running 8.10 since 8.12.
[23:09] <reeeh2000> hello everyone, the problem I am having is that when I open kate, the windows border dissapears, and kate's window takes up the whole screen covering up the menu bars.  Any ideas?
[23:09] <sebsebseb> going back to 8.04 isn't really a downgrade as such, since it's the long term suppourt
[23:09] <Picassotamus> NuuBuntu: Mount is the command... i would read the man page for more info... not sure what to tell you about figuring out which /dev/x it is : /
[23:10] <NuuBuntu> picassotamus ok thank you for your help
[23:10] <mint3> Please help
[23:10] <Picassotamus> NuuBuntu: np, one other thing: if it isn't mounted under /media, looking at /etc/mtab might help you
[23:10] <Rabbitbunny> caimlas: it's spontaneous, I ran 8.10 since RC playing with it, and the bug is listed as "won't fix", meaning it's not going to get fixed upstream. affects all intel i8x0
[23:10] <sebsebseb> !wireless | mint3
[23:11] <mint3> it didnt work
[23:11] <Picassotamus> !work | mint3
[23:11] <sebsebseb> mint3: you need to tell people more about your wireless, what type it is and such, or they can't help
[23:11] <mint3> atheros, sebsebseb
[23:12] <mint3> seb seb seb - it wont let me connect wireless
[23:12] <L3dPlatedLinux> tomboy note suck what I am looking for is a way to place sticky notes to the decktop any ideas on what to get?
[23:12] <sebsebseb> mint3: you sure no atheros driver in    system >  adminitaration > hardware drivers?
[23:12] <DSpair> Anyone here ever install on a SunFire box? I'm having problems getting the boot loader to come up.
[23:12] <xun_> hello, my system sometimes works waking up from "sleep" but sometimes doesn't, how & where should I start trouble shooting it? it's a desktop running 64-bit btw
[23:13] <mint3> there is, sebsebseb, but even if its activated i cant get any wireless
[23:13] <mint3> seb seb seb
[23:13] <mint3> sebastian help me fellow
[23:13] <reeeh2000> hello everyone, the problem I am having is that when I open kate, the windows border dissapears, and kate's window takes up the whole screen covering up the menu bars.  I have also had this problem ociasionaly with firefox.  Any ideas?
[23:13] <Rabbitbunny> reeeh2000: You turned off window decoration in compiz.
[23:13] <DSpair> reeeh2000, Try pressing "F11".
[23:13] <sebsebseb> mint3: ok have it  enabled, and set up wireless normalley,   I am not really the best person for wireless help, since I am hard wired :)  much better than wireless, faster, and more secure
[23:13] <mint3> am hard wired too sebsebseb. thats for the laptop
[23:14] <sebsebseb> mint3: the amount of not protected at all or enough wireless connections out there. that people can just get on, that are near enough.   WPA2 I beliive it is for proper protection
[23:14] <reeeh2000> DSpair: it isnt terminal mode
[23:14] <mint3> i simply cant enable it
[23:14] <mint3> it only allows me to install vpn
[23:14] <mint3> i want wireless
[23:14] <yacc> What are possible reasons for a SMP kernel not to recognize my second CPU core?
[23:14] <DSpair> reeeh2000, Never thought it was. <F11> is typically used to toggle full screen for graphical apps.
[23:14] <sebsebseb> mint3: did you add the connection into the graphica with the SSID and such?
[23:14] <Rabbitbunny> reeeh2000: to minimize Kate, press F1 to open help, ctrl+alt+right to move to another desktop, then click back to youyr original, now with a right click on the window list you can minimize.
[23:15] <mint3> usually,  u double click and u can select which wireless connection u wanna conect to
[23:15] <speedcore> Ideas on a good terminal based ftp client?
[23:15] <mint3> in my case,  i cannot, sebastian
[23:15] <yacc> speedcore, ncftp?
[23:15] <reeeh2000> DSpair: in kate f11 toggles line numbers
[23:15] <speedcore> yacc: I will check it out, thanx
[23:15] <DSpair> speedcore, I second that "NcFTP"
[23:15] <sebsebseb> mint3: no I think now days, people have to add the wireless
[23:15] <sebsebseb> mint3: when it won't show
[23:15] <Rabbitbunny> reeeh2000: Are you listening? I just gave you the answer to your troubles.
[23:16] <space_cadet> so in a script... how would one go about echoing #
[23:16] <space_cadet> ?
[23:16] <mint3> yes but there is a cross on the wireless on the taskbar
[23:16] <j0nr> evenin all
[23:16] <mint3> and whatever i do i cannot seem to connect
[23:16] <j0nr> I need a hand getting wireless to work in 9.04
[23:16] <DSpair> space_cadet, You would escape the character.
[23:16] <sebsebseb> !jaunty |  j0nr
[23:16] <space_cadet> with /  ?
[23:16] <mint3> j0nr - i got the same problem
[23:16] <space_cadet> or \
[23:16] <DSpair> space_cadet, The other slash.
[23:16] <sebsebseb> mint3: maybe you do, and maybe you don't, but he is not on the same OS version as you
[23:16] <space_cadet> cool.
[23:16] <DSpair> space_cadet, \
[23:16] <mint3> j0nr - did u install madwifi ?
[23:17] <bazooka> is it worth upgrading to 9.04 from 8.04 ?? what are the new features ?
[23:17] <mario1965> hello
[23:17] <mint3> have you activated the restricted madwifi drivers, j0nr ?
[23:17] <Rabbitbunny> bazooka: Read the website. This is for support.
[23:17] <reeeh2000> Rabbitbunny: that isnt working
[23:17] <sebsebseb> bazooka: no it's not really worth it, unless when it's more stable,  you want a much faster file system, then Ext4
[23:17] <ythe1300> I here there are some issues with ext4
[23:17] <sebsebseb> bazooka: you would have to clean install for proper Ext4 suppourt
[23:17] <sebsebseb> ythe1300: indeed
[23:17] <mint3> bazooka - am on 9.04, only problem so far has been wireless
[23:17] <j0nr> mint3: I did the usual enabling restricted hardware drivers... is that what you mean?
[23:17] <mint3> and ext4
[23:17] <Rabbitbunny> reeeh2000: Turn on window decoration in Compiz Settings.
[23:17] <mint3> yes, j0nr
[23:18] <mint3> you got the atheros wireless card ?
[23:18] <oCean_> mint3: are you on 9.04?
[23:18] <ythe1300> you can still use ect3 right?
[23:18] <sebsebseb> ok  j0nr and mint3,  since your both on 9.04 your suppourt questions aren't realy welcome here,  plus the people in #ubuntu+1  tend to be more advanced users anyway
[23:18] <mint3> yes i am on 9,04
[23:18] <Picassotamus> oCean_: yeah he is
[23:18] <oCean_> mint3: then please join channel #ubuntu+1 for support
[23:18] <mint3> j0nr - have you tried ndiswrapper ?
[23:18] <j0nr> sebsebseb: sorry...moving over there now. ta
[23:19] <sebsebseb> j0nr: I would have a look at what your saying there :D, but  I can't join there at the moment
[23:21] <ghindo> If I know of an upstream bug, should I still report it through Launchpad?
[23:22] <LjL> ghindo: good question
[23:22] <DSpair> Woohoo!!! LILO to the rescue!
[23:22] <LjL> ghindo: if you know the bug is also in the latest release, then reporting it upstream is probably a good idea. i think you can also "sync" an upstream bug report to launchpad, but i'm not sure of the details
[23:22] <DSpair> The new server is FINALLY booting up.
[23:22] <LjL> ghindo: you could try asking in #ubuntu-bugs too
[23:22] <ghindo> LjL:  Thanks!
[23:24] <otm> is the only way to hack a linux box to figure out their passwd? Cause I think someone knows mine :O
[23:24] <luislobo> hi
[23:24] <mint3> change it then otm
[23:24] <LjL> otm: it might not be the *only* way, but it certainly is one way
[23:25] <sebsebseb> luislobo: hi
[23:25] <luislobo> don't know if this is the right place to ask, but here it goes: Can I get a usb-irda dongle to work with lirc ?
[23:25] <taz> i try to fix but it said  error  could not launch menu item  Failed to execute child process "wallpapoz" (No such file or directory)
[23:25] <taz> any one can help me please
[23:25] <LjL> luislobo: likely not
[23:25] <otm> what are the other ways?
[23:26] <LjL> luislobo: but some of them do work, if i remember right
[23:26] <Rabbitbunny> taz: is it spelled correctly?
[23:26] <taz> yes
[23:26] <luislobo> LjL: the faq from lirc is a little bit unclear
[23:26] <taz> rabbibunny: can  u help me to fix ??
[23:26] <luislobo> LjL: says it's not possible to get a usb-irda to work but says it does not apply to them all...
[23:27] <luislobo> LjL: whatever that means :9
[23:27] <LjL> luislobo: i think it basically depends on whether the dongle is really an irda dongle (i.e. it actually has circuitry that implements irda), in which case you can't use it, or the irda stuff is done in software, in which case you might be able to use it
[23:27] <mint3> i am going back to windows,. good bye crule world of linux
[23:27] <mint3> cruel hehe
[23:27] <otm> :O
[23:27] <Rabbitbunny> taz: That's not in the repos. It's not supported software.
[23:27] <taz> i see can remove it ??
[23:27] <luislobo> LjL: how can I see that ?
[23:28] <LjL> luislobo: i don't know
[23:28] <Rabbitbunny> taz: I have no idea.
[23:28] <taz> that ok.. thanks anyway
[23:28] <luislobo> LjL: ok... thnx anyway
[23:29] <reisio> any known drawbacks to installing from Windows?
[23:29] <taz> rabitbunny: how they do that...i would like to know if there is wallpaper each side of cube- diffrent picture ?? possable ??
[23:29] <luislobo> reisio: only if you keep windows :)
[23:30] <Rabbitbunny> taz: I've not seen or looked for software for that purpose.
[23:30] <reisio> luislobo: yeah with Windows
[23:30] <reisio> luislobo: anything in particular, or were you just Windows bashing? :p
[23:30] <otm> does anyone know of a good linux equivalent to mspaint?
[23:30] <taz> rabbitbunny: i saw in internet... they do//
[23:31] <Rabbitbunny> otm: GNUPaint, Gimp...
[23:31] <taz> rabbitbunny: do  u want website ??
[23:31] <luislobo> reisio: basically bashing, but if you don't mess up the windows partition you're ok
[23:31] <reisio> k, just curious
[23:31] <deagle> hello all
[23:31] <otm> Gimp has too many tools
[23:31] <Rabbitbunny> taz, It's not supported software, meaning you're on your own.
[23:31] <reisio> would seem like a disk image inside a Windows partition would be inherintly weird
[23:31] <luislobo> reisio: the installation process even adds the right grub entries to boot from windows
[23:31] <otm> is GNUPaint simple or like GIMP?
[23:32] <deagle> anyone know about using realvnc with ubuntu's remote desktop?
[23:32] <oCean_> !gpaint | otm
[23:32] <reisio> inherent* p'shaw
[23:32] <deagle> i can't get it to work :(
[23:32] <oCean_> !info gpaint | otm
[23:32] <taz> rabitbuny: thanks anyway guess dont worry about it anyway\
[23:32] <sYskk> deagle: im looking to do exactly the same thing
[23:32] <reisio> luislobo: with Windows' boot loader, right?
[23:32] <deagle> sYskk: how far have you gotten?
[23:32] <luislobo> reisio: it wraps the windows boot loader (kind of a chain)
[23:33] <reisio> yeah, sounds far out :p
[23:33] <ShakaGoldSaint> reisio, one would think there would be performance issues involved :P
[23:33] <reisio> I was setting up a mount point for Windows and it was the same partition as Ubuntu :p
[23:33] <reisio> ShakaGoldSaint: yeah, I certainly would :p
[23:34] <Flannel> reisio: Wubi doesn't touch the windows bootloader.  It just adds an entry to boot.ini for Ubuntu.
[23:34] <reisio> you wouldn't call boot.ini part of the boot loader? :p
[23:35] <Flannel> reisio: The drawbacks are that you have a (very small) performance degradation from one more layer of abstraction, and you are on NTFS.  So if NTFS gets corrupted somehow, etc.
[23:35] <deagle> so noone here has used remote desktop through realvnc on a windows box/
[23:35] <sebsebseb> deagle: I do VNC
[23:35] <Rabbitbunny> deagle: Yes, What do you need help with?
[23:36] <ShakaGoldSaint> anyone here using the lastest ati catalyst driver in Jaunty (9.3)?
[23:36] <deagle> yey! ok so like whenever i try to connect realvnc to my IP it says "A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable host"
[23:36] <space_cadet> !beta | ShakaGoldSaint
[23:37] <sebsebseb> !jaunty
[23:37] <space_cadet> aah.
[23:37] <deagle> i port forwarded both 5800 and 5900 to the box's reserved IP on my netgear router
[23:37] <ShakaGoldSaint> sebsebseb, thanks!
[23:37] <sebsebseb> space_cadet: suprised in a way they have that here already
[23:37] <Rabbitbunny> deagle: ping the IP.
[23:37] <sebsebseb> space_cadet: ,but it's the same bot in more than one channel
[23:37] <sebsebseb> ShakaGoldSaint: no problem
[23:37] <ShakaGoldSaint> it's been a while since the last time i used ubuntu :P
[23:38] <deagle> Rabbitbunny: times out
[23:38] <sebsebseb> ShakaGoldSaint: well you shuld have gone with 8.10 or 8.04 really then
[23:38] <Rabbitbunny> deagle: That's your problem.
[23:38] <space_cadet> 810
[23:38] <deagle> Rabbitbunny: O_o?
[23:38] <ShakaGoldSaint> sebsebseb, that'd be boring ^^
[23:38] <deagle> the router is supposed to reply to ping?
[23:39] <Rabbitbunny> deagle: you can't VNC to a router.
[23:39] <deagle> hence the port forwarding comment
[23:39] <sebsebseb> ShakaGoldSaint: well so is 9.04  on Ext3 partitions, but  there was a data loss issue with Ext4,  anyway join  #ubuntu+1 to find out more about stuff.  shame I can't join you there though at the moment as well
[23:39] <Rabbitbunny> deagle: the PC is supposed to reply to ping.
[23:40] <deagle> but on which port? games play just fine and they require port forwarding too
[23:40] <Rabbitbunny> deagle: Are you sure you have the IP correct? are you operating over a modem? tell me more about the hardware in use.
[23:40] <deagle> cable modem
[23:40] <deagle> IP as told by ipchicken.com
[23:41] <deagle> using a netgear WGT624 v4 firmware v2.0.13_2.0.15NA
[23:41] <Rabbitbunny> deagle: Okay, that might get you to the right modem, look into dyndns.org later. Onto the LAN, what's the IP there?
[23:41] <deagle> 192.168.1.2
[23:42] <deagle> router's @ .1
[23:42] <Fritz87_> Hello! If a friend comes over with a windows PC for a lan, can I connect it to a wireless ubuntu netbook to get internet through that? as in, set it up so it shares the internet connection?
[23:42] <Rabbitbunny> deagle: and how about a firewall?
[23:42] <deagle> none that I know of
[23:42] <deagle> besides the router blocking everything coming in from ports other than those forwarded
[23:42] <nicmermau> spanish__
[23:43] <sebsebseb> !es
[23:43] <Rabbitbunny> deagle: Try putting the PC as "DMZ" for a short time. This is risky, so don't leave it like that.
[23:43] <nicmermau> spanish??
[23:43] <LjL> !es | nicmermau
[23:43] <luislobo> !pt
[23:43] <luislobo> ah!
[23:43] <luislobo> great...
[23:43] <nicmermau> #ubuntu-sp
[23:43] <luislobo> is this bot as funny as the one in #debian ?
[23:44] <nicmermau> ok tank for your help
[23:44] <luislobo> !barf
[23:44] <luislobo> eh!
[23:44] <Fritz87_> ubottu, I love you.
[23:44] <psyber> is it safe to completely uninstall open java and replace it with sun java?
[23:44] <sebsebseb> psyber: yes
[23:45] <nicmermau> luislobo hablas castellan?
[23:45] <Fritz87_> it's especially safe with java, java versions are completely self contained, right? installing a new version doesn't mean you need to get rid of the old one either
[23:45] <sebsebseb> Fritz87_: get rid of the old one
[23:45] <sebsebseb> Fritz87_: then do another
[23:45] <Fritz87_> okay
[23:45] <L35t4t> hey
[23:45] <luislobo> nicmermau: un poquito
[23:46] <sebsebseb> !english |  luislobo
[23:46] <LjL> nicmermau: #ubuntu-es para espanol por favor, NO aqui
[23:46] <rdumas> Ubuntu rocks
[23:46] <psyber> sebsebseb: so just remove open java with synaptic?
[23:46] <sebsebseb> psyber: yeah
[23:46] <sebsebseb> psyber: right click and do the config files as well
[23:47] <Rabbitbunny> deagle: If you get stuck, #networking may be of help as your problem isn't realated to ubuntu
[23:47] <psyber> sebsebseb:  cool
[23:47] <sebsebseb> deagle: also this is a more general Linux channel #linux
[23:48] <nicmermau> where are you from?
[23:48] <sebsebseb> psyber: then close synaptic, and start to use the terminal ideally.  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras will put on Java as well as MP3 suppourt and such
[23:48] <LjL> !offtopic | nicmermau
[23:48] <deagle_> Rabbitbunny: nothing :( says "connection timed out"
[23:48] <luislobo> LjL: sorry :-/
[23:48] <nicmermau> ok sorry
[23:48] <deagle_> Rabbitbunny: i checked the "reply to ping button" so now it does so
[23:48] <sebsebseb> psyber: plus there's a command to install just java, which I am not sure about, but I know it's on  http://www.ubuntuguide.org  which is a useful site for the basics, but does not cover it all
[23:49] <Rabbitbunny> deagle_: Can you try to ping in the other direction?
[23:49] <koksy89> ima li makedonac
[23:49] <LjL> !english

[23:49] <koksy89> i know litle
[23:49] <psyber> sebsebseb: I have ubuntu restricted xtras. and sun java already installed.  I just want to remove open java instead of having having to tell the system to use sun instead of java
[23:49] <LjL> koksy89: what is your language?
[23:50] <koksy89> macedonia
