[00:00] <virtx> i try with noapic and acpi off
[00:00] <eross> quick question, synaptic is saying i have 3 updates for kernel headers 2.6.27.11 but I'm using latest, 2.6.27.14. Can I uninstall the 2.6.27.11 and not screw my system up, so I don't get those upgrade messages? Is that the way to do it?
[00:00] <QaDeS> how can i uninstall a package without removing its dependencies?
[00:00] <Ienorand> Geoffrey2: You could use a sermon from Stallman  :)
[00:00] <sebsebseb> virtx: yes later versions of Ubuntu, may not work well on your machine
[00:00] <virtx> that is why i'm downloading 8.04.2
[00:01] <GodfatherofEir1> Jordan_U_, you there?
[00:01] <sebsebseb> Ienorand:  maybe we can arrange a Richard Stallman visit for that guy :)
[00:01] <Jordan_U_> GodfatherofEir1, Yes
[00:01] <[4-tea-2]> eross: you can, but you lose the option to start with that older kernel from grub in case something with your default kernel goes awry.
[00:01] <scunizi> virtx: is this an older motherboard or newer ... in the last couple years.. does it have the gforce 8200 chipset?
[00:01] <eross> another note on top of little to no antivirus required for basic desktop install, the linux filesystem does not need to be defragged.
[00:01] <GodfatherofEir1> Any ideas as to how to fix that?
[00:02] <Geoffrey2> sebsebseb, trust me, I understand the philosophy behind open source.....but if the open source option is simply too "alpha" to be usable, I'm not going to keep fighting with it til it's actually ready for widespread use
[00:02] <eross> i haven't gone backwards in two years :P
[00:02] <sebsebseb> Geoffrey2: oh my you called it open source, Richard Stallman would not be happy
[00:02] <histo> GodfatherofEir1: how to fix what?
[00:02] <hwilde> GodfatherofEir1, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[00:02] <[4-tea-2]> eross: according to Murphy, the first time you will have to, will be when you can't.
[00:02] <sebsebseb> Geoffrey2: in fact,  in the article the bot says,  it even has the bit on Open source
[00:02] <sebsebseb> Geoffrey2: open source and free software are not the same thing
[00:02] <meshuggah> sebsebseb, i am waiting your answer
[00:02] <GodfatherofEir1> histo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/146524/
[00:02] <scunizi> virtx: you might try to add msi=nopci on the kernel line when booting.
[00:02] <sebsebseb> Geoffrey2: similar, but not the same thing
[00:02] <GodfatherofEir1> hwilde, tried that
[00:02] <histo> GodfatherofEir1: when are you getting that?
[00:03] <eross> guess i'll just upgrade, thanks for the sensibility lesson 4-tea-2
[00:03] <GodfatherofEir1> histo: on login
[00:03] <scunizi> virtx: sorry.. pci=nomsi
[00:03] <histo> GodfatherofEir1: there permissions of /tmp changed
[00:04] <Burntresistor> whats the best way to set up my slave drive with unbuntu  i tired installing unbuntu on it so it can serve as a backup and i can use it as a slave, but its coming up always as primary when i boot
[00:04] <GodfatherofEir1> histo: so how should I fix that?
[00:04] <virtx> scunizi, msi?
[00:04] <Jordan_U_> GodfatherofEir1, Just as a test try to run "touch /tmp/test"( to see if for instance / is being mounted read only )
[00:04] <histo> GodfatherofEir1: let me check something real quick
[00:04] <Ienorand> Although Ubuntu is probably not the most un-hypocritical distro when it comes to *true* freedom
[00:04] <histo> GodfatherofEir1: sudo chmod 777 /tmp
[00:04] <erUSUL> Burntresistor: that is something that is controlled by bios/hardware nothing any OS can controll
[00:04] <shavinder> where can i check information about processor and ram etc. like in windows we right click my computer> properties.
[00:05] <Geoffrey2> sebsebseb, the word "free" generally gets tossed around here too much, with entirely too many differing meanings....
[00:05] <GodfatherofEir1> histo: thanks a million
[00:05] <histo> GodfatherofEir1: np
[00:05] <Burntresistor> jumper settings are right  can i got into unbuntu bios and change  settings
[00:05] <histo> Burntresistor: ubuntu doens't have a bios
[00:05] <Mr_Orange> I put a script in rcS.d that doesn't end. How can I use my machine now?
[00:05] <GodfatherofEir1>  And now to get the driver for my wireless workin, then aircrack runnin....
[00:05] <scunizi> virtx: yep.. pci=nomsi.. not sure why it works but it does on my machine..
[00:06] <sebsebseb> Geoffrey2: indeed and that's half the  problem with the word.  ,but free software as in libre software,  and so  as in freedom
[00:06] <sebsebseb> Geoffrey2: not free as in price
[00:06] <GodfatherofEir1> The work never ends does it
[00:06] <histo> Burntresistor: you need to set one drive as master and one as slave.
[00:06] <histo> Burntresistor: or you can use cable select and put both drives on the same cable.
[00:06] <Burntresistor> the one i want to be the slave is ide the master is a sata
[00:06] <meshuggah> Burntresistor, ubuntu bios?
[00:07] <sebsebseb> Geoffrey2: check out the articles on http://www.gnu.org  philopshey in about free software and that.  good reads :)
[00:07] <meshuggah> Burntresistor, ubuntu dony have bios, winshit doesnt have too, only your motherboard has
[00:07] <gui-lover> i cant find the installed wine applications in the gnome main menu. when i dir to home,
[00:07] <kevin009> anyone know how to unban yourself from denyhosts? i removed the entry from /etc/hosts.deny, but denyhosts just re-insers it when I restart the service
[00:07] <Jordan_U> GodfatherofEir1, WHat chipset?
[00:08] <GodfatherofEir1> Jordan_U, RTL8185L
[00:08] <Geoffrey2> sebsebseb, I think my point was missed though....however you want to define free, if the software doesn't work, it doesn't work....
[00:08] <kevin009> and of course I stop the service before I remove the ip from /etc/hosts.deny
[00:08] <virtx> scunizi, ok i'll try it's an nvidia with 8mb of memory
[00:08] <sebsebseb> !work |  Geoffrey2
[00:08] <GodfatherofEir1> Well, working with the linux drivers for it anyway, as opposed to ndiswrapper, which aircrack cant work with
[00:08] <Burntresistor> i know i misspoke i know where my bios is located i just want to know if its still accessible to change settings or im going about this wrong
[00:09] <meshuggah> Burntresistor, it is always accesible
[00:09] <meshuggah> Burntresistor, unless you screw up things
[00:09] <adaptr> badly
[00:09] <robert__> can some one help me turn on my wirless network addapter
[00:11] <hajmola> i was given an ipod touch... if I connect it to rhythmbox, will it sync and erase all the music on the ipod?
[00:11] <ryan__> I was looking at putting the GRUB boot loader on a floppy... is there any reason that it shouldn't work on a usb key?
[00:11] <robert__> can some one help me turn on my wirless network addapter
[00:11] <rndm> alsamixer won't take my volume above db gain=0.00 with master at 100%. (which means i can only turn sound down, not up). help!?
[00:12] <rndm> i have snd-hda-intel
[00:12] <SkyLab> salut
[00:12] <Burntresistor> will it just work as a formated slave as storage nstead  of having its own copy of linux on it  so it can boot , would that be a better solution
[00:13] <hippos> hi all
[00:13] <meshuggah> hippos, hi
[00:13] <ryan__> Burn, was that to me?
[00:13] <hippos> i'm trying to fix sound output on a friend's LG laptop
[00:13] <hippos> hey meshuggah
[00:13] <hippos> metal fan eh?
[00:13] <meshuggah> Burntresistor, what are you trying to do?
[00:14] <meshuggah> maybe
[00:14] <meshuggah> yes
[00:14] <meshuggah> :)
[00:14] <ryan__> lol
[00:14] <ryan__> I think it was =P
[00:14] <hippos> when they updated from 8.10 to a higher version, it broke sound output
[00:14] <Burntresistor> my goal is to have this 120gb drive as a slave to my master so i can more storage
[00:14] <hippos> i followed a tutorial where i manually reinstalled all the sound libs and so on
[00:14] <rndm> nvm. problem was a modestly set front channel
[00:14] <Burntresistor> like i did on windows
[00:14] <ryan__> Oh, nope, not to me =P
[00:14] <hippos> on the ubuntu forums
[00:14] <meshuggah> Burntresistor, put the damn jumper
[00:14] <ryan__> Sounded like it though rofl, it was a good idea ;)
[00:14] <hippos> does anyone here have any ideas?
[00:14] <Burntresistor> i took out the jumper cause thats what the settings required
[00:15] <Burntresistor> all off means no jumper
[00:15] <meshuggah> Burntresistor, slave on 120gb
[00:15] <meshuggah> master on the other
[00:15] <meshuggah> and after, mount the slave
[00:15] <eross> he has sata on one, and wants the ide as a slave
[00:15] <ryan__> Burn, are they sata? pata? what?
[00:15] <eross> right?
[00:16] <Burntresistor> one is sata the other is ide
[00:16] <hajmola> i was given an ipod touch... if I connect it to rhythmbox, will it sync and erase all the music on the ipod?
[00:16] <ryan__> Which is sata? master or slave?
[00:16] <Burntresistor> master
[00:16] <jdsbluedevl> hello, I'm updating everything, and during the updating I get a message saying I have an obsolete driver.  However, it says to install the same driver I already have installed.  I put it in a pastebin here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/146537/
[00:16] <GodfatherofEir1> Anybody have experience with installing the RTL8185L linux drivers
[00:16] <freeman> Hm, does anyone know much about modifying inputs with xorg.conf?
[00:16] <jdsbluedevl> can someone help me get rid of this annoying message that always pops up
[00:16] <deany> hajmola, doubtful
[00:16] <jdsbluedevl> ?
[00:16] <ryan__> Have you tried making the sata boot first in BIOS?
[00:17] <hajmola> deany, thanks
[00:17] <deany> hajmola, things just aint that developed yet.  just use virtualbox and an xp install...best be safe.
[00:17] <deany> i know ipod phones aint supported yet..
[00:17] <Burntresistor> boot first then add the second ?
[00:17] <hippos> so basically my question is, sound broke after update, what should i do?
[00:18] <eross> i guess iphones aren't supported yet either :/  funny thing, i sent them several emails and not heard one reply back about it
[00:18] <dimedo> is it secure to trust that after activating "allow only encrypted connection" in my remote desktop setting, connections to my vnc server are always encrypted? how is this done?
[00:18] <ryan__> Ok, maybe I didn't understand your question... what isn't working Burn
[00:18] <freeman> Does anyone here use Blender?
[00:18] <Burntresistor> what isnt working for some reason my computer has the slave set as master and it isnt the jumper settings
[00:18] <eross> freeman - I do, they have a #blender channel if it's application related
[00:19] <freeman> Well, it's not necessarily related
[00:19] <eross> Burnt - you try the #hardware channel yet?
[00:19] <Guiri> How can I pipe directory files to a script? cat * - | script
[00:19] <ajr> Flash wont work in firefox after upgrading to jaunty, even with plugins installed, is tehre a fix yet
[00:19] <Guiri> ?
[00:19] <freeman> I use a wireless mouse that has a mousewheel tilt function
[00:19] <ryan__> Look in your BIOS and make sure to set it so it checks your sata before ide, most are set up to check sata first
[00:19] <ryan__> mean
[00:20] <ryan__> Look in your BIOS and make sure to set it so it checks your sata before ide, most are set up to check ide first
[00:20] <leagris> Guiri man xargs
[00:20] <freeman> And it breaks the rotation in it, and I was wondering how to disable the mouse buttons 6 and 7
[00:20] <Singer> hello
[00:20] <Singer> is it possible to specify a default port to ssh to in the ~/.ssh/config file?
[00:20] <Burntresistor> no but i will, im going to try to look in bios like it has been suggested ty for the help
[00:20] <flip> wheres the dude i was helping
[00:20] <sententious> I'm thinking of buying a Netbook and putting a text-only Ubuntu or Debian on it. I understand that  on a 7-inch screen, the tty sessions would be super-small. Is there a way to increase the text size, or am I screwed?
[00:20] <jdsbluedevl> hello, I'm updating everything, and during the updating I get a message saying I have an obsolete driver.  However, it says to install the same driver I already have installed.  I put it in a pastebin here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/146537/  Does anyone know how to keep this annoying message from popping up?
[00:21] <Singer> sententious: magnifying glass? ;p
[00:21] <filo1234> Singer: you can set your port on /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[00:21] <ryan__> jds: Did you just try running it to see what happens?
[00:21] <Titan8990> jdsbluedevl, did you try running the command it says?
[00:21] <ryan__> lol
[00:21] <Singer> filo1234: you missed my question
[00:21] <jdsbluedevl> yes.  I have it installed already
[00:22] <Singer> filo1234: I want to ssh to this box to port XXX (XXX <=> 22)
[00:22] <ryan__> But even though it says that, did you still try to reinstall it?
[00:22] <Titan8990> jdsbluedevl, using that exact command after you recieved the error message?
[00:22] <Singer> so everything I go ssh blah@blah.com -pXXX
[00:22] <jdsbluedevl> there really is no error in the system, just really annoying
[00:22] <ryan__> Did you try just running that command?
[00:22] <Singer> is it possible to put something in my local ~/.ssh/config so that it goes by default to port XXX when I ssh to host blah?
[00:22] <filo1234> Singer: oh ok i understand now ;)
[00:22] <jdsbluedevl> well, I used aptitude instead
[00:22] <sententious> Singer: funny, funny. I'm told there is something I can edit in the grub menu.lst file or something, but i'm not sure. Perhaps a vga setting? Do you know?
[00:22] <dumdumz> Anyone know how to get audacious player info to show in conky? I read somewhere I have to compile it but don't know how to do that.
[00:22] <Droopsta915> I have some hidden files on my desktop. How can I unhide the file so that it's visible?
[00:22] <eross> freeman - dont know about your mouse buttons
[00:23] <dumdumz> ctrl + h Droopsta915
[00:23] <ryan__> Woah? dum, you serious?
[00:23] <dumdumz> ryan__, yes
[00:23] <ryan__> Are you meaning just on the desktop you can do that?
[00:23] <tbird02>  lolz
[00:23] <ryan__> Or in file browser?
[00:23] <dumdumz> in the file browser
[00:23] <ezzieyguywuf> for some reason any time I scroll anything, xorg freaks out and uses an inordinate amount of  cpu. top shows it going up to 101% if i scroll up and down fast enough. I'm runnin a T60p with an ati V5200. I get the same symptoms with and without compiz and with both the open and proprietary drivers. Help!!!
[00:24] <ryan__> Oh, ok, I knew that part =P I thought you were saying on the desktop =P I was like awesome
[00:24] <GodfatherofEire> So, anybody got any experience with the RTL8185L chipset?
[00:24] <tbird02> hey i got a couple questions for my headless server
[00:24] <Droopsta915> dumbumz: thanks, I learn something new everyday with Ubuntu.
[00:24] <BigMoopies> Hello, I am wondering if it is possible to auto start a terminal program each time I login and for it not to close.  Would I want to put that in .bash_profile or .bashrc ?  Or would that just open it up each terminal tab and create an issue ?
[00:25] <tbird02> hey i got a couple questions for my headless server
[00:25] <carpii__> it should be ok in bash_profile, but you might want to add & to make it go into the background
[00:25] <Titan8990> !anyone | tbird02
[00:25] <Guiri> leagris: Thanks. I'm using find /media/ExternalHD/Movies | xargs /bin/riff currently. Any tips? Seems to find everything instead of just the .avis
[00:25] <dumdumz> Anyone know how to get audacious player info to show in conky? I read somewhere I have to compile it but don't know how to do that.
[00:25] <jdsbluedevl> Titan8990: only difference between message and what I did was I used aptitude rather than apt-get
[00:25] <Singer> ubottu: habit..
[00:26] <tbird02> do i need to install anything but a SSH server and VNC server on my headless server?
[00:26] <Titan8990> jdsbluedevl, that shouldn't matter since aptitude calls apt-get
[00:26] <Singer> tbird02: why VNC?
[00:26] <Titan8990> tbird02, VNC???
[00:26] <tbird02> a gui backup...i'm a noob
[00:26] <ezzieyguywuf> BigMoopies: system>>Preferences>>Session. Just add you're program/script
[00:26] <Titan8990> tbird02, it should have no GUI
[00:26] <jdsbluedevl> right, so yeah, I did what it said
[00:26] <Singer> no, that's all you need
[00:26] <tbird02> why not?
[00:27] <bunjee> is there a linux program resembling quickbooks with Ubuntu?
[00:27] <Singer> for me, its SSH + Puppet
[00:27] <BigMoopies> ezzieyguywuf, would I be able to actually see it and it stay open ?
[00:27] <Singer> I <3 Puppet
[00:27] <carpii__> bunjee, not really. theres homebank which is ok, but theyre all pretty primitive really
[00:27] <Titan8990> tbird02, because its absolutely worthless to a server and takes away from your valuable server resources
[00:27] <carpii__> http://homebank.free.fr/index.php?id=4
[00:27] <RedMushroom> what can i use for boot options from the live cd? is there a way to boot into a terminal from the live cd?
[00:28] <tbird02> what if i dont use the GUI and just stick with the CLI?
[00:28] <Singer> Titan8990: VNC Server (unused) is pretty light
[00:28] <Titan8990> tbird02, not to mention insecurities in VNC
[00:28] <ezzieyguywuf> gMoopies: if it has a GUI then you will see it, and it will stay open until the program terminates or you exit it
[00:28] <Titan8990> Singer, but xserver-xorg, in general, is not
[00:28] <Singer> Titan8990: true..
[00:28] <bunjee> homebank in add/remove programs?
[00:28] <galvanize> Hi all.
[00:28] <Singer> there are some cases where I install xserver..
[00:29] <galvanize> I was wondering how I would view all processes running in top? For instance scrolling down?
[00:29] <carpii__> get htop
[00:29] <Titan8990> tbird02, as far GUI administration, you should use web tools such as webmin, phpmyadmin, and phpsysinfo
[00:29] <Singer> where I work, all backend servers get xserver + vnc but its not enabled by default
[00:29] <galvanize> carpii__: ok. thanks.
[00:29] <Titan8990> tbird02, but then again, I have no idea what you plan to use this server for
[00:29] <ezzieyguywuf> for some reason any time I scroll anything, xorg freaks out and uses an inordinate amount of  cpu. top shows it going up to 101% if i scroll up and down fast enough. I'm runnin a T60p with an ati V5200. I get the same symptoms with and without compiz and with both the open and proprietary drivers. Help!!!
[00:29] <Singer> tbird02: oracle?
[00:30] <tbird02> just a backup fileserver, maybe some torrents
[00:30] <stealth-> whats the gnome file browser? im messing around with it, and i need to start it from cli
[00:30] <RedMushroom> how can i use the live cd to boot into a terminal?
[00:30] <carpii__> stealth-, try nautilus
[00:30] <Titan8990> tbird02, you don't need a server for that
[00:30] <ezzieyguywuf> stealth-: I believe its metacity
[00:30] <bunjee> carpii__ how does this install again?
[00:31] <Titan8990> tbird02, unless its a fileserver for a large number of clients
[00:31] <ezzieyguywuf> stealth-: ah no its nautilus
[00:31] <eross> how do i turn off the sticky keys
[00:31] <carpii__> sudo apt-get install htop
[00:31] <Titan8990> tbird02, if its your home personal file server, might as well just use one of your desktops
[00:31] <stealth-> RedMushroom: you can boot the cd normally, then press ctrl+alt+F1, or you could get into one by running the terminal app
[00:31] <leagris> Guiri find /media/ExternalHD/Movies -type f -iname "*.avi" | xargs /bin/riff
[00:31] <stealth-> carpii__: thanks
[00:31] <tbird02> well whats wrong with using SSH for the fileserver?
[00:31] <Titan8990> tbird02, but, if its also to learn how to manage a headless linux server, stick with it
[00:32] <Matson> what is "hardy" mean
[00:32] <stealth-> !hardy | matson
[00:32] <Titan8990> tbird02, ssh is secure but slow, you just need to weigh speed vs encyption
[00:32] <Matson> Im running Hardy...
[00:32] <Matson> :)
[00:32] <Titan8990> tbird02, I used webdav for my home file sharing, scp when I need something in a hurry
[00:32] <RedMushroom> stealth-: ctrl+alt+f1 does nothing
[00:32] <Titan8990> tbird02, ftp and NFS are also good choices
[00:33] <Singer> its a proven fact that SCP/SSH is slow
[00:33] <stealth-> RedMushroom: in the live cd? try other ctrl+alt+Fsomethings
[00:33] <Titan8990> tbird02, but again, if you are going accross the internet, ssh security ftw
[00:33] <Matson> the Ubuntu installer should tell the person what the name of the install they are installing
[00:33] <RedMushroom> and i have to boot into a terminal. my desktop is fubar and not working
[00:33] <Matson> if it did, it was not obvious enough, I just did it 6 times in a row
[00:33] <leagris> tbird02, rsync does wonders
[00:33] <RedMushroom> stealth-: yeah, live cd. ok, trying
[00:33] <tbird02> well i set up ftp already.  thats what i use to transfer files but trying to learn ssh
[00:33] <Titan8990> Singer, yeah, encyption adds quite a overhead
[00:33] <galvanize> anyone looking forward to jaunty?
[00:33] <Titan8990> tbird02, imo ssh is easier than ftp, but learning is always good :)
[00:33] <Guiri> leagris: Thanks. That's pretty close to what I was using. /bin/riff is actually vlc transcoding, set to us $1. I think that's where my error's coming from right? The $1?
[00:33] <bytor4232> mememe!
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> galvanize: already got ;)
[00:34] <galvanize> ActionParsnip: not final release correct?
[00:34] <RedMushroom> stealth-: tried it, nothing for ctrl+alt+f1 - f12
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> galvanize: correct
[00:34] <bytor4232> galvanize, I've got it installed on a desktop and my two lappies.  Thinking about hacking it onto my daughter's Eee
[00:34] <leagris> NFS should be avoided on the wide internet
[00:34] <Titan8990> tbird02, ftp servers require configuration but ssh only requires sudo apt-get install ssh-server
[00:34] <ianm_> galvanize: using it!
[00:34] <Titan8990> tbird02, unless you want public key auth
[00:34] <galvanize> ActionParsnip: Had it too. Then decided to revert back to Intrepid. Found it to be little buggy.
[00:34] <dumdumz> Anyone know how to get audacious player info to show in conky? I read somewhere I have to compile it but don't know how to do that.
[00:34] <Singer> Titan8990: SSH/SCP isn't orptimized for large file transfers..
[00:35] <Matson> what is the default MTA for ubuntu?
[00:35] <Matson> I was using exim4 on debian
[00:35] <tbird02> let me take that back. i'm using the ssh server, using winscp on my windows box to transfer files.
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> galvanize: runs perfect here, not had an issue personally
[00:35] <tbird02> how do i set up ftp?
[00:35] <Titan8990> Matson, exim4 for debian postfix for ubuntu
[00:35] <Matson> but looks like postfix and exim4 are available on ubuntu
[00:35] <stealth-> RedMushroom: hm... well i suppose you might be able to stop the X server, which should drop you to a terminal, but it would be easier to do whatever you need to do from a GUI terminal...
[00:35] <Titan8990> Matson, either will work
[00:35] <galvanize> ActionParsnip: Good to hear. I had minor bugs with wine in jaunty.
[00:35] <Titan8990> Matson, if you already know exim4, i recommend sticking to it
[00:35] <Matson> Titan8990: sure, but I want to go with whatever most people are using
[00:35] <leagris> Guiri you could debug using a vanilla script that just dump its parameter
[00:35] <galvanize> Will be downloading final release though :)
[00:35] <Matson> Titan8990: I've done all of em
[00:35] <Titan8990> Matson, why is that even a factor?
[00:35] <RedMushroom> stealth-: how might i try that?
[00:36] <Guiri> Dang. I was following along until there.
[00:36] <stealth-> RedMushroom: killing the X server? Or using a GUI terminal?
[00:36] <Matson> more support, other people working to solve current issues
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> galvanize: did you use the wine off the wine repos?
[00:36] <bytor4232> galvanize, I'm mostly using just the base system, with xfce4 installed (not xubuntu).  The For the ubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop machines, I'm waiting for stable.
[00:36] <bytor4232> galvanize, But I had to have XFCE 4.6, so I upgraded early!
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> tbird02: sudo apt-get install proftpd
[00:36] <RedMushroom> anything that'll let me boot to a "terminal" or text based interface off the ubuntu live cd
[00:36] <Titan8990> Matson, I have add good experience with the exim4 mailing list....
[00:36] <galvanize> ActionParsnip: Yes, I was.
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> tbird02: default settings will default users to their home dir
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> galvanize: ok cool
[00:37] <galvanize> ActionParsnip: Besides that minor bug, I was loving Jaunty.
[00:37] <Titan8990> Matson, but anyways... postfix would be more popular in ubuntu because it is easier... many to most ubuntu users are new to linux
[00:37] <git__> is there a software to break captcha?
[00:37] <tbird02> k what do i use to connect to it
[00:37] <Titan8990> tbird02, ?
[00:38] <galvanize> ActionParsnip: Actually can't wait for Koala, rumors of a new colour is very good!@
[00:38] <stealth-> RedMushroom: well there is a program that comes on all installs, and should definately be in on the live cd. Basically its a terminal that runs as a window. In gnome, its located at: Applications --> Accessories --> terminal
[00:38] <tbird02> will winscp  work?
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> tbird02: any ftp client, windows you can use filezilla or command line, linux has a vast array of clients
[00:38] <Titan8990> tbird02, if you are using fail windows
[00:38] <tbird02> fail windows?
[00:38] <RedMushroom> can anyone tell me how to boot to a text based interface from the ubuntu live cd?
[00:38] <Titan8990> tbird02, yes, windows = fail
[00:38] <tbird02> oh
[00:38] <Titan8990> tbird02, the two words are synonymous
[00:39] <tbird02> haha i see
[00:39]  * RedMushroom facepalms at Titan8990
[00:39] <stealth-> RedMushroom: I still dont understand why you need to...
[00:39] <tbird02> so i can transfer files using winscp. is that ftp or ssh
[00:39] <Preplexed> can some one please help me with session
[00:39] <GodfatherofEire> Anybody have any experience with the RTL8185L chipset?
[00:39] <Titan8990> tbird02, ssh (scp, sftp)
[00:40] <ubuntu> if my HD is encrypted i am guessing i can't update my /boot bootloader through livecd?
[00:40] <Titan8990> tbird02, you will likely not see transfer speeds greater than 3mb/s over ssh
[00:40] <ubuntu> so i can boot windows
[00:40] <tbird02> i dont mind that. its wireless anyway
[00:40] <dumdumz> Anyone know how to get audacious player info to show in conky? I read somewhere I have to compile it but don't know how to do that.
[00:40] <tony2009> will Ubuntu auto detect a Nvidia 9800GTX+ 512MB?
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> tbird02: grab filezilla and it can connect to the ftp server
[00:40] <Titan8990> tbird02, I have pulled 15mb/s on the same network using http....
[00:40] <tony2009> dumdumz: no idea sorry mate
[00:40] <tbird02> hmm ok. is that faster?
[00:40] <RedMushroom> stealth-: because i need to run the dd command on the hdd to reformat the bugger because it's got something messed up on it that won't allow the computer to boot properly from the hdd. it's an issue w/ a config file
[00:40] <RedMushroom> and i need to wipe and reinstall
[00:40] <tbird02> is it as secure?
[00:41] <tony2009> will Ubuntu auto detect a Nvidia 9800GTX+ 512MB?
[00:41] <leagris> tony it should. I had a 7800GTX 250Mb
[00:41] <Titan8990> tbird02, if you run it over ssl, but that will likely slow the speed
[00:41] <Matson> is there a tool to sort human-readable disk sizes like output by du -h?
[00:41] <tony2009> leagris: ok thans.. then what do I do to test it?
[00:41] <stealth-> RedMushroom: that  can be done from the GUI terminal... The GUI terminal is the same as the normal terminal just inside a GUI window
[00:41] <Titan8990> Matson, like how?
[00:41] <ubuntu> tony go to system>administration>hardware drives to check
[00:42] <RedMushroom> stealth-: i can't get to the GUI because the GUI is the part that's messed up
[00:42] <filo1234> RedMushroom: you can delete splash quiet option on kernel line and add single
[00:42] <stealth-> RedMushroom: the gui on the live cd
[00:42] <tbird02> hmm. okay let me get filezilla
[00:42] <Titan8990> filo1234, it will still auto-start gdm
[00:42] <tbird02> whats puppet btw?
[00:42] <filo1234> Titan8990: no i have tryed now
[00:42] <stealth-> RedMushroom: but you should be able to kill the xserver in the live cd with this command: gksudo "/etc/init.d/gdm stop"
[00:42] <RedMushroom> stealth-: when i try to load that it pulls info off the hdd and presents the same issu
[00:42] <traskbt> After trying to modify the E17 menu, my system-wide xdg menu got messed up, is there a way to regenerate the default XDG menu?
[00:43] <traskbt> (I'm sitting in GNOME at the moment)
[00:43] <ubuntu> tony2009, boot with livecd then system>administration>hardware drives to check
[00:43] <RedMushroom> stealth-: how can i input that command?
[00:43] <Matson> Titan8990: sort them by size
[00:43] <stealth-> RedMushroom: ah! I see your issue now, if you cant even get into the livecd, try filo1234's method
[00:43] <Matson> 4.0K, 48K 3M 3.5G  etc
[00:43] <filo1234> RedMushroom: you can delete splash quiet option on kernel line and add single
[00:43] <Titan8990> Matson, you could use a bash script, not sure if someone has already released a utility to do it
[00:43] <tony2009> ubuntu what will "hardware drives to check" do?
[00:43] <RedMushroom> what's kernel line?
[00:44] <filo1234> and you can choice root
[00:44] <tbird02> whats puppet btw?
[00:44] <Titan8990> !puppet
[00:44] <filo1234> RedMushroom: f6 for more option
[00:44] <Titan8990> tbird02, never heard of it
[00:44] <Matson> "sort" support numerical
[00:44] <tony2009> tbird02: a stick man on a strong :)
[00:44] <tony2009> string
[00:44] <Matson> yes, ooking at writing it, hoping not to duplicate effort
[00:45] <RedMushroom> now you say delete the splash quite line. for me, when i press f6 i get "
[00:45] <tony2009> ubuntu what will "hardware drives to check" do?
[00:45] <scunizi> Is there a way to grep the kernel to see if it has code/driver for an Intel 537epg pci soft modem?
[00:46] <filo1234> RedMushroom: when you boot live cd and choice try or install ubuntu, press f6, delete splash and quiet and add single
[00:46] <RedMushroom> "file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper only-ubiquity initrd=/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash --
[00:46] <lavagolemking> How would one bring up the dialog to update the grub menu after a kernel update?
[00:46] <stealth-> um... im in nautilis as root, and i just deleted something i needed, how can i get it back?
[00:46] <jdu> What is ubuntu's support like for 5 1/4 inch floppies?
[00:46] <jrib> stealth-: your backups
[00:46] <filo1234> RedMushroom: yes
[00:46] <jrib> !recover | stealth-
[00:47] <stealth-> jrib: its not that important, its only been on the harddrive for a couple minutes
[00:47] <RedMushroom> filo1234: you mean make it "file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper only-ubiquity initrd=/casper/initrd.gz single"
[00:47] <stealth-> jrib: there is no other way?
[00:47] <filo1234> RedMushroom: yes
[00:47] <tbird02> does filezilla do network transfers? I cant see a networked comptuer.
[00:48] <jrib> stealth-: is the file open still?
[00:48] <traskbt> How can I get the default GNOME menu back?
[00:48] <stealth-> jrib: file manager? yes
[00:48] <jrib> stealth-: no.  The file
[00:48] <Guiri> leagris: I settled on find /media/ExternalHD/Movies -type f -iname "*.avi" -print0 | xargs -0 /bin/riff . One last question: Any way to make the script repeat after the movie finishes and also randomize the find so it doesn't find the same thing each time?
[00:48] <stealth-> jrib: it was actually a directory, so no
[00:49] <Jordan_U> traskbt, Do you want to set your panels completely back to defaults or do you just want to re-add "Applications" ?
[00:49] <GodfatherofEire> Anybody have any experience with the RTL8185L chipset?
[00:49] <traskbt> Jordan_U, just re-add applications (and get them set up structurally like they are in a fresh install), resetting panels is okay too if that has to be done
[00:49] <Matson> is there an equivalent of rcconf on ubuntu?
[00:50] <jrib> stealth-: then no, there's no other way
[00:50] <filo1234> RedMushroom: with this option you boot on recovery mode
[00:50] <stealth-> jrib: that sucks, okay, thanks anyways
[00:50] <Matson> rcconf lists all the rc.d init scripts and manages the symlinks to start and stop services at bootup
[00:50] <Geoffrey2> sebsebseb, is there a utility out there that can locate any files/programs on your computer that is not "Free Software"?
[00:50] <Jordan_U> GodfatherofEire, It *should* work out of the box on intrepid
[00:50] <jrib> stealth-: it's not in the trash right?
[00:50] <Mene-Mene> Tried out 8.10.
[00:50] <GodfatherofEire> Jordan_U, yeah, it does, partly, but with poor signal quality
[00:50] <Mene-Mene> Still not seeing the wire.
[00:51] <tbird02> does filezilla do network transfers? I cant see a networked comptuer.
[00:51] <stealth-> jrib: no
[00:51] <Jordan_U> GodfatherofEire, Reported signal quality or noticeably poor performance / dropped connections?
[00:52] <stealth-> jrib: its all good, it was just a screensaver file. If I like the look of the other colors, ill go find the one i deleted again, thanks
[00:52] <GodfatherofEire> Jordan_U, Have I? No, but I have noticed em
[00:52] <leagris> Guiri I can"t find a program like sort but to randomize the order. You could try to generate a m3u playlist and asks vlc to play it randomly
[00:52] <Matson> initclt, rcconf, chkconfig - which is ubuntu standard?
[00:52] <Jordan_U> traskbt, To get the main menu pack just right click the pannel > Add to pannel > main menu
[00:53] <Mene-Mene> I think it's a motherboard thing.
[00:53] <Guiri> leagris: excellent idea. Can use find to create and output to a text file?
[00:53] <Guiri> from what I understand, that's all an m3u is, right?
[00:53] <traskbt> Jordan_U, I have the menu icon, I mean I want to regenerate the xdg MENU itself (the applications and sub-menus of the main GNOME menu)
[00:53] <leagris> Guiri any shell command can output to whatever if you gives a redirector >file
[00:53] <traskbt> Jordan_U, the file is /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu and mine isn't what I would like it to be.
[00:55] <leagris> Guiri you can reformat the output using awk to match a playlist
[00:55] <Guiri> leagris: Thanks much for your patience. Trying that now
[00:55] <Guiri> leagris: Output doesn't seem to have line breaks, oddly enough
[00:56] <tbird02> why are there red lines that cross my chat window??
[00:56] <Matson> in 8.04 - is it using upstart or init?
[00:57] <Titan8990> !test
[00:57] <traskbt> tbird02, lots of GUI IRC clients show lines across showing you where you moved the mouse away from the window, so it's easier to see what you have read and haven't read
[00:57] <Jordan_U> traskbt, Have you tried running sudo update-menus or renaming the old configuration file then running update-menus ?
[00:57] <traskbt> Jordan_U, both
[00:58] <WindmillObsessed> @traskbt: wow, that's cool, thanks for the tip. It would've bugged me too until I figured it out
[00:58] <tbird02> oic,.
[00:58] <traskbt> WindmillObsessed, you're welcome? What did I do?
[00:59] <Jordan_U> traskbt, Are you sure that the problem is with the system wide config file and not your user's ?
[00:59] <johann__> hi !!!
[00:59] <tbird02> what's the best torrent solution for a headless server
[00:59] <WindmillObsessed> @ traskbt: explained the red lines
[00:59] <linxeh> tbird02: rtorrent
[00:59] <traskbt> Jordan_U, yes, I am, the system-wide is the one I have changed
[00:59] <linxeh> assuming you mean a bt client
[00:59] <TheDracle> Hm, I have something strange happening. When I use jockey-gtk, and select to 'Activate' the ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver, the 'Downloading and installing' bar pops up for a moment, then immediately disappears- with no effect.
[01:00] <traskbt> WindmillObsessed, oh, okay
[01:00] <TheDracle> This is for Ubuntu 8.10
[01:00] <Mene-Mene> I don't know what else I can do.
[01:00] <tbird02> what about torrentflux
[01:00] <Mene-Mene> It doesn't work in 9.04, and not in 8.10
[01:00] <flip> flip can i get some help with an out of range error
[01:00] <poseidon> where is the jdk put during installation from apt-get?
[01:00] <linxeh> tbird02: it sounds evil
[01:01] <tbird02> haha
[01:01] <Mene-Mene> The driver won't install even if I follow the instructions to the letter.
[01:02] <traskbt> I wish I could Alt-Tab between Windows and Ubuntu..
[01:02] <stealth-> I cant set my resolution any higher than 1024x768 in either gnome or kde. I want it higher, any ideas?
[01:02] <Mene-Mene> traskbt: That's called a VM
[01:03] <stealth-> also, my moniter is registered as "unknown"
[01:03] <linxeh> tbird02: personally I'd prefer to use ssh to access everything, but it doesnt look that bad if you want that kind of thing
[01:03] <t3rra> ddsd
[01:03] <traskbt> Mene-Mene, but I'd prefer "real" installs of each, never been a fan of virtual OSs.
[01:03] <Giotrader> help install? I have a RAID 0 and 2 IDE drives, Ubuntu alternate CD only see 1 IDE drives and gives me an error message when trying to partition the RAID 0
[01:03] <Jordan_U> traskbt, Get two computers and a KVM switch :)
[01:04] <filo1234> Giotrader: raid 0 see only one drive
[01:04] <flip> Can someone help me with a out of range error please i have more details i just cant post them here
[01:04] <linxeh> traskbt: with proper hypervisors each OS is a proper install...
[01:04] <Giotrader> i have 4 drive 2 of them or SATA in a raid 0
[01:04] <Giotrader> so the OS should see 3 drives
[01:04] <solexious|netbk> I have just started my ubuntu server with a new pci network card in it. I have got a connection light on it but its not showing up when I do a ifconfig. What do I have to do to install it or enable it?
[01:05] <traskbt> Jordan_U, I have multiple computers, but I do need Windows and Ubuntu on one machine (it's my best one, and the only one that will play LOTRO on Windows ;])
[01:05] <mib_bnhyqd> hi, how do i expand a partition in gparted?
[01:05] <Mene-Mene> I'm out of things to try, any ideas?
[01:05] <Mene-Mene> I'm still pretty new.
[01:05] <filo1234> Giotrader: is right, raid 0 = 2 drive like one
[01:05] <Jordan_U> traskbt, So is the problem with the file that you made a modification that you now don't want? If the problem is with a modification you made then update-menus should fix it.
[01:06] <traskbt> Jordan_U, it should, but it doesn't
[01:06] <traskbt> Jordan_U, it doesn't actually change the file at all.
[01:06] <usser> traskbt, give andLinux a shot. it works pretty good
[01:06] <robert__> need help instaling ndiswrapper
[01:06] <hyp0craci> hey i was wondering if someone could help me out with my sound issue, i just got ubuntu 9.04 up, am real new to linux at this point, I have read all the stuff i could find on goodle/ubuntu site and still have no sound
[01:07] <nty200> 00
[01:07] <Jordan_U> traskbt, OK, try running "update-menus --stdout > /tmp/freshmenu.menu" and then replace the file manually
[01:07] <robert__> need help instaling ndiswrapper
[01:08] <Jordan_U> hyp0craci, 9.04 is not released yet, questions should be asked in #ubuntu+1
[01:08] <Jordan_U> robert__, Are you sure that ndiswrapper is needed for your card?
[01:08] <flip> Can someone help me with a out of range error please i have more details i just cant post them here
[01:08] <traskbt> Jordan_U, that leaves me with a blank menu
[01:08] <robert__> i thank so well im positive
[01:08] <Sohma> Hey everyone question. I just downloaded and installed Unbuntu as another OS. I never used a linex program before and am looking on how to install and where to install drivers for my Linksys Wireless B PCI card
[01:09] <hyp0craci> ok ty, not sure if its release related or just a linux thing with my sound chip :oP ill try there first
[01:09] <Jordan_U> traskbt, Did it create a file /tmp/freshmenu.menu ?
[01:10] <RedMushroom> about how long does it take the dd command to finish erasing a drive?
[01:11] <poseidon> where is the jdk put during installation from apt-get?
[01:11] <traskbt> Jordan_U, yeah, it's populated with stuff, but it doesn't look like an xdg menu
[01:11] <Jordan_U> Sohma, Look for software in Applications > Add / Remove and check System > Administration > Hardware Drivers for your card ( you may need to do some work if there is nothing there and your card still does not show up in network-manager )
[01:12] <Paco_Paco> what is the bot called?
[01:12] <unop> ubottu
[01:12] <Paco_Paco> ty
[01:13] <Mene-Mene> Any suggestions for getting a driver to work?
[01:13] <Sohma> ty
[01:13] <Mene-Mene> Its designed for RedHat I believe, and well... yeah.
[01:14] <usser> RedMushroom, depends on the size of the drive and if you're overwriting it with /dev/zero or /dev/random
[01:14] <Lint01> how the Add/Remove Programs applet is actually called?
[01:14] <RedMushroom> usser: 20gb drive, using /dev/zero
[01:15] <usser> RedMushroom, shouldn't be more than an hour
[01:15] <Jordan_U> traskbt, In what way does it not look like an xgd menu? If you move it to /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu does it work?
[01:15] <usser> RedMushroom, half hour i'd say
[01:15] <usser> RedMushroom, maybe less
[01:15] <RedMushroom> cool. thanks
[01:15] <TheFunkbomb> Could someone help me set up file sharing between Ubuntu 8.10 and Win XP?

[01:15] <Shhh> Grr
[01:15] <Mene-Mene> Getting a link for you...

[01:19] <Shhh> i didnt delete any of the files
[01:20] <solexious|netbk> I have just started my ubuntu server with a new pci network card in it. I have got a connection light on it but its not showing up when I do a ifconfig. What do I have to do to install or enable it?
[01:20] <LewisSharp> Hi, I installed a working mail server that can receive mail. Though I can't send without being block for multiple reason (one being a missing reverse DNS). So, I'd like to use a SMTP server with Auth and force postfix to send mail through that smtp server. I've look on google and on the wiki but doesn't looks like I have what I need there. :(
[01:20] <tonyyarusso> solexious|netbk: does it show up in ifconfig -a?
[01:21] <Antioch> Whats the channel for the Jaunty channel? It used to be in the topic but its not there now.
[01:21] <tonyyarusso> LewisSharp: For instance, relaying through GMail?
[01:21] <tonyyarusso> Antioch: #ubuntu+1
[01:21] <Antioch> Thanks
[01:21] <LewisSharp> tonyyarusso: Actually Yahoo
[01:22] <tonyyarusso> LewisSharp: Hmm, okay.  I'm guessing it's relatively similar, but you'll have to do a little bit of legwork.  The config for GMail is in http://files.tonyyarusso.com/postfix_config_gmail.tar.gz
[01:23] <solexious|netbk> tonyyarusso, yes as eth2
[01:23] <Flynsarmy> Nvidia just released new drivers for ubuntu that appeared in my update list. How do i find out information on what the changes are? Been waiting for twinview without x restart for ages
[01:23] <tonyyarusso> solexious|netbk: You'll need to assign it an IP address and netmask then.  The ifconfig man page will tell you how.
[01:24] <LewisSharp> tonyyarusso: Thanks, this might take me a while to apply though :)
[01:24] <solexious|netbk> tonyyarusso, do you know how to set it up to look for a dhcp server?
[01:24] <zozobra> I've installed 8.10 and in my xorg.conf, there's no section for input device for my touchpad. My touchpad is really slow. How can I get a proper xorg.conf?
[01:25] <tonyyarusso> solexious|netbk: yes.  'sudo dhclient eth2'.
[01:25] <filo1234> zozobra: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:25] <Jordan_U> Mene-Mene, What hardware do you need drivers for? ( specific chipset if you know it )
[01:25] <zozobra> filo1234: I did that, and the new xorg.conf looks the exact same as the last one
[01:25] <Mene-Mene> P5ND2-SLI
[01:26] <solexious|netbk> tonyyarusso, Many thinks
[01:26] <Mike_lifeguard> How much time should I allot to re-partition my HD and install intrepid?
[01:26] <Ubnut> Hello, Is there a way i can get a new fstab
[01:26] <solexious|netbk> s/thinks/thanks
[01:27] <krammer_> how can i change the downloads to a certain distination besides the folder downloads
[01:28] <filo1234> krammer_: with firefox?
[01:28] <krammer_> yes
[01:28] <Jordan_U> Mene-Mene, Do you see any drivers available in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers?
[01:28] <roman> hey guys, i've got a question. i'm currently fiddling with a separate x-screen for an emulation setup (fullscreen emulation on one screen while having the normal desktop on the other), and wanted to know if it would be possible to somehow "lock" my gamepad to one of both x-sessions. at the moment, the time i focus the "desktop" session with the mouse (e.g. do something in it), the gamepad ceases to work on the other screen, which of course is no
[01:28] <roman> t desirable in my kind of setup. is there any way to change this behaviour? thanks in advance :)
[01:28] <xoox> How do I determine why update-manager wants me to restart?
[01:29] <unop> krammer_, edit -> preferences
[01:29] <krammer_> unop, i was thinking the preferences were under ubuntu lol
[01:29] <filo1234> krammer_: modify > preference> download-------save on
[01:29] <krammer_> Thanks stupid me
[01:30] <Mene-Mene> Jordan_U wouldn't that require internet access?
[01:31] <Mene-Mene> But I'll go check, the comp's just down the hall.
[01:31] <Flynsarmy> Anyone know if the nvidia 180 drivers support twinview without x restart?
[01:31] <Ubnut> I deleted my fstab what do i do?
[01:32] <SaturnDriver> i'm having trouble getting the jack sink module installed for pulse audio, can anyone help?
[01:32] <dumb_dumb> guys
[01:32] <Mene-Mene> No drivers for lan anyway Jordan_U
[01:33] <dumb_dumb> any one here try to used xen with ubuntu hardy server edition
[01:33] <dumb_dumb> how to enabled the serial port on guest os?
[01:34] <xero> I've already tried #pulseaudio and #bluez (and #bluez-users) so i'll ask you guys:
[01:34] <crazypoultry> sorry for what may seem a little silly, but hopefully a easily solved question.  I have an older desktop sitting beside my desk that i would like to use as a media server(ubuntu 8.10) and would like to know if it is possible to connect to it using vnc over an ethernet cable from my win xp desktop
[01:34] <bsharitt> Having an odd problem with Ubuntu 8.04 that I haven't seen before. The main hard drive(the 4 hard drives in the raid are fine), is showing as 74GB total(which is correct), 74GB in use(should not be this) and 30GB free(sounds right, though conflicts with used space). This is causing me to be unable to install updates or run some services(intermitent X issues and MySQL won't start.) I've already run a full fsck it completed 
[01:34] <botux1> anyone good wiht samba?
[01:35] <xero> When I try to use my Moto S9 with PulseAudio (0.9.15-test7 compiled from source) I get the following from BlueZ(yes I have version 4.34 also compiled from source)
[01:35] <xero> bluetoothd[27192]: Accepted new client connection on unix socket (fd=15)
[01:35] <Jordan_U> crazypoultry, It is
[01:35] <xero> bluetoothd[27192]: Audio API: BT_REQUEST <- BT_GET_CAPABILITIES
[01:35] <xero> bluetoothd[27192]: Audio API: BT_ERROR -> BT_GET_CAPABILITIES
[01:35] <xero> bluetoothd[27192]: Unix client disconnected (fd=15)
[01:35] <xero> bluetoothd[27192]: No known services for device
[01:35] <FloodBot1> xero: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:35] <Mene-Mene> It doesn't work in Ubuntu either.
[01:35] <Mene-Mene> Sorry, windows.
[01:35] <crazypoultry> jordan_u: anyway you could be so kind as to point me in the right direction to get started
[01:36] <xero> Pastebin for 5 lines is great. Anyway i get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/146579/ when pairing my moto S9
[01:36] <scunizi> ok.. the latest Cups update changed the way to restart cups.. it use to be /etc/init.d/cupsys restart and NOW it's /etc/init.d/cups restart .. these niggly changes without notification drive me nuts.
[01:36] <botux1> i need help with samba
[01:36] <xero> scunizi, i hate it too. DontZap by default has annoyed me to no end.
[01:37] <xero> botux1, ask the question. Don't keep saying you need help.
[01:37] <xero> i get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/146579/ when pairing my moto S9. BlueZ version is 4.34 and Pulse is 0.9.15.
[01:37] <botux1> xero:sorry
[01:37] <xero> botux1, don't apologize to me. I have no authority, lol.
[01:38] <zionpsyfer> I'm having trouble getting pictures off of my Canon Rebel XT, it worked prior to the upgrade to intrepid.  I suspect it has to do with the changes with udev to hal and consolekit.  As consolekit has no man page and I've no idea what I'm doing in there, anyone with experience that can help?
[01:38] <botux1> i can see my windows pc froim ubuntu but cant get into it when i click it it says unable to mount
[01:38] <Jordan_U> crazypoultry, Install ubuntu, connect the two pc's, give them both static ip addresses on the same network ( but not on the same network as your connection to the modem you use to connect to the internet, different interfaces can't have overlapping networks ). Then go to System > Preferences > Remote Desktop and allow remote access via vnc
[01:38] <minimike150> ubottu
[01:39] <xero> i get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/146579/ when pairing my moto S9. BlueZ version is 4.34 and Pulse is 0.9.15-test7. Anyone able to help at all? I'm using the Jaunty beta by the way.
[01:39] <crazypoultry> jordan_u:  tyvm, will try it out and see what happens :)
[01:39] <Jordan_U> crazypoultry, np, good luck :)
[01:39] <showers> i just moved over to ubuntu and everything is nice... except in Thunbderbird where all my message listing are in bold, which makes it impossible to pick out the read messages from the unread messages. anybody else ever have this problem
[01:40] <drone> I just upgraded to jaunty amd64 yesterday and now my apps, places, and system menus have no icons in them at all
[01:40] <undercoverpl> undercoverpl
[01:40] <drone> not sure how to fix it. I already deleted my gnome config files and started over but that didn't help
[01:40] <xero> drone, install alacarte and run it
[01:40] <drone> ah
[01:40] <drone> ok
[01:40] <xero> sudo apt-get install alacarte && alacarte
[01:40] <Jordan_U> !jaunty | xero, drone
[01:41] <xero> Jordan_U, my BlueZ and Pulse aren't from Jaunty.
[01:41] <drone> thanks, I wasn't sure if there was a different area for that
[01:41] <xero> "Lots of breakage" does not apply here because...well... it isn't from the distro.
[01:41] <Jordan_U> xero, That may be the problem then, either way we don't support jaunty here until it is released
[01:41] <jtgiri> hi guys, I am trying to use snmpwalk and i get command not find, how can I install it ? i did snmpd already
[01:42] <carpii__> did you apt-get snmp too ?
[01:42] <carpii__> client tools as opposed to server
[01:43] <drone> I realize you guys aren't support the 9.04 beta, but I just wanted to note that alacarte is already installed and even though I can see icons in there, they are still not present when the menus are dropped down
[01:43] <drone> just in case someone else asks
[01:44] <jtgiri> that was it, thanks
[01:44] <xero> drone, check the boxes near them
[01:45] <carpii__> np

[01:45] <solexious|netbk> How can I tell dhclient to allways look on my eth2 as I have to run it at boot
[01:45] <zionpsyfer> I've got a number of questions on udev, hal and consolekit related to getting a camera to be recognized.
[01:47] <minimike150> Does anybody know how to get a second generation Ipod Touch to mount or to be able to sync etc ?
[01:48] <ahorner> I recently installed 8.10 and all the updates. I restarted for the first time and now I have incompatable resolutions for both my monitors (1920x1080, 1440x900) and can't see a thing.
[01:49] <m1dn1ght> Hey guys - I'm getting some weird feedback through my speakers when I do various things on the screen (e.g move a window around) - has anyone ever heard of this or know any way to troubleshoot it?
[01:49] <sYskk> where can I find startup services in ubuntu ?
[01:50] <carpii__> m1dn1ght, on board sound card ?
[01:50] <m1dn1ght> carpii__: nods

[01:50] <carpii__> i doubt theres much you can do unless you can filter it out using yur amp settings
[01:50] <carpii__> get a basic soundblaster pci, theyre like £1 these days
[01:50] <drone> xero, I tried all manner of things with alacarte and nothing fixed the issue
[01:50] <m1dn1ght> carpii__: just a really bizarre situation.  Brand new motherboard.
[01:51] <carpii__> its quite common with onboard sound
[01:51] <ahorner> what's the xorg reconfigure command?
[01:51] <m1dn1ght> sYskk: preferences > sessions
[01:51] <SaturnDriver> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg i believe
[01:51] <carpii__> check your cabling too i guess, make sure its not too close to the puter
[01:51] <ahorner> thanks

[01:56] <FloodBot1> socerboy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:57] <SaturnDriver> mint3 - you should probably just use samba
[01:57] <socerboy> shut up man

[02:02] <jp_sf> hello, when I create a user I got the infamous "Your account has expired; please contact your system administrator" how to enable this account created ?

[02:06] <minimike150> i have an ipod touch and looking for a way to mount
[02:07] <RxDx> lol
[02:07] <RxDx> me too
[02:07] <kevin009> the option "wireless networks" is greyed out, even though I am connected to one :)
[02:07] <jrib> thewrath: you want puttygen: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
[02:07] <unop> kevin009, how did you connect to this wireless net?
[02:07] <thewrath> that is to create one though isn tit
[02:07] <AnnonyMouse3> hey guys. trying to fault-find a voip system on my LAN, so I want to use ncat, but I see the ncat provided by the repositories (via router-audit-tool) does not correspond to the ncat detailed on the nmap.org site
[02:07] <jrib> thewrath: it lets you convert it to openssh as well
[02:07] <RxDx> minimike150, ipod touch first or second gen?
[02:07] <Ninhalem> is there a specific procedure for asking help on a specific problem?
[02:07] <minimike150> most website inform me that second generator ipods cannot be jailbroken so I cant do that way
[02:08] <minimike150> mine is second
[02:08] <kevin009> manually
[02:08] <user22> Trying to do online secure **it, as it is the logins are whited-out or not visible with Firefox or Opera.
[02:08] <kevin009> perhaps that's the issue
[02:08] <unop> AnnonyMouse3, maybe they mean netcat or nc instead
[02:08] <jrib> user22: example?
[02:08] <RxDx> minimike150, there is already an automatic way to jailbreak ipod touch second gen ;)
[02:09] <unop> kevin009, it is .. nm-applet ignores interfaces that are manually configured (for odd reasons)
[02:09] <minimike150> RxDx, do you know how to?
[02:09] <AnnonyMouse3> unop : doh! thanks
[02:09] <elitecoder> I'm reading https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html regarding ufw masquerading, and it doesn't specify which file the DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY line goes into. Which one is it?
[02:09] <AnnonyMouse3> silly me
[02:09] <user22> Can't do online banking
[02:10] <jrib> elitecoder: umm, doesn't it say the file?
[02:10] <elitecoder> I read it a couple times
[02:10] <elitecoder> it's actually a bit confusing on that part
[02:10] <mcpancakes> hi, question, it seems recently that when I might click on a link outside of Firefox (pidgin, IRC, others), the link does not open in Firefox. anyone know any solution? It's the only browser I've got installed, so the 'default browser' is not the issue.
[02:10] <elitecoder> it says two files, but specifies them after it says to set DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY
[02:10] <jrib> elitecoder: I'm staring at it right now: "in /etc/default/ufw change the DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY"
[02:10] <user22> It's like the website recognize I'm not using MSIE and react negatively.
[02:10] <kevin009> how can i delete the manual config?
[02:10] <elitecoder> jrib: that's a folder
[02:10] <jrib> elitecoder: are you certain?
[02:10] <elitecoder> well i was
[02:11] <ron2010> anybody know how to resolve usb mouse in windows using virtual box
[02:11] <elitecoder> but not now, i see the default i'll check there -.-
[02:11] <jrib> elitecoder: it's a file on my machine
[02:11] <elitecoder> i was in the ufw
[02:11] <elitecoder> thanks for that
[02:11] <elitecoder> goodness
[02:11] <Ninhalem> thanks ahead of time for any help. question: Is there someone available here to help with a boot load problem involving "Non-System disk or disk error?"
[02:12] <elitecoder> yeah was in the wrong folder.. sigh lol
[02:12] <PhotoJim> Ninhalem: non-bootable flash drive plugged in, or non-bootable floppy disk in your drive?  that's the usual cause.
[02:12] <elitecoder> thx again
[02:12] <thewrath> jrib: invalid file format
[02:12] <m1dlg> hi all, I am still having issues changing owner on my drives, but not having permission to do this (even using sudo)
[02:13] <jrib> thewrath: I know nothing about putty other than it's a program on windows.  From the website, it seems like you should be able to convert it (and the existence of a menu item suggests the same)
[02:13] <coocolo> Can someone help me install SSH server on Intrepid Ibex? I used to just do sudo apt-get install ssh
[02:13] <coocolo> it says thats been replaced with openssh-server and i tried apt-get install openssh-server with no luck
[02:13] <kevin009> oh ok it's /etc/network/interfaces
[02:13] <Lint01> user22, maybe it's because of lacking ActiveX capability?
[02:13] <thewrath> i did convervations then export openSSH key
[02:13] <tonyyarusso> coocolo: "it" being?
[02:13] <coocolo> well it says package openssh-server has no installation candidate
[02:14] <tonyyarusso> !info openssh-server
[02:14] <m1dlg> how to I make my Windows drive (known as Games or sdd1) my drive and not root's?
[02:14] <tonyyarusso> coocolo: Try doing an apt-get update first.
[02:14] <genii> m1dlg: Ownership of entire devices like drives is decided at boot time by the udev subsystem. No amount of changing permissions on /dev/sda for instance will stick because it is set during each boot. Make a subfolder on whatever drive which can be manipulated instead
[02:14] <coocolo> wtf!
[02:14] <coocolo> this is a fucking pain
[02:15] <tonyyarusso> !ohmy | coocolo
[02:15] <m1dlg> How do I change it from boot time as I need to make repetered changes, and it WAS working a couple of weeks ago
[02:15] <coocolo> used to be simpel to install SSH, why doesnt come installed by default anyway
[02:15] <PhotoJim> coocolo: it's not installed by default for security reasons.  but it's not hard to install.
[02:15] <m1dlg> genii: How do I change it from boot time as I need to make repetered changes, and it WAS working a couple of weeks ago
[02:15] <genii> m1dlg: Mount options also play in when filesystem is ntfs or such
[02:15] <tonyyarusso> coocolo: because it would violate the no-open-ports security policy.  It installs the exact same way as before - you have something else wrong with your system right now.
[02:15] <coocolo> PhotoJim: I installed it a million times before but its not working now
[02:16] <coocolo> its a fresh install so not sure what that could be
[02:16] <PhotoJim> coocolo: are you sure?  ps aux | grep sshd   ... does it show the task?
[02:16] <coocolo> im tryin an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade
[02:16] <coocolo> then ill try it again
[02:16] <coocolo> ya it shows sshd there alread
[02:16] <coocolo> already
[02:16] <PhotoJim> coocolo: then there you go.  it's running.
[02:17] <PhotoJim> coocolo: so your issue isn't installation.  it's configuration, or usage.
[02:17] <mib_gmax0qu9> test
[02:17] <Ninhalem> PhotoJim: I downloaded the iso image of i386 Ubuntu 8.10 desktop and burned it to a disk using my slowest write speed (4x). I inserted the disk and got this messaged when I the disk started to boot up: "PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable. PXE-M0F: Exiting Broadcom PXE Rom." This message displays before the non-system disk error.
[02:17] <m1dlg> genii: ok, how do I use mount options as the drive is saying owner is root, and it used to be mu username in permissons tab in probertys. I can't copy or move the drive, I used to be able to copy and past.
[02:17] <coocolo> connection refused even when I do ssh localhost
[02:17] <coocolo> and from a remote machine, same thing
[02:17] <PhotoJim> m1dlg: sounds like a bad burn, or a bad download.
[02:18] <coocolo> when I do /etc/init.d/sshd restart "no such file or directory"
[02:18] <m1dlg> I dont understand how it could affect all drives, yet was Ok
[02:18] <coocolo> sudo /etc/init.d/sshd -- command not found
[02:18] <coocolo> this is bonkers
[02:18] <cherwin> dfasdf/etc/init.d/ssh - lose the d
[02:18] <PhotoJim> coocolo: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
[02:19] <coocolo> same thing
[02:19] <coocolo> command not found
[02:19] <botux1> how can i get temp root access so i dont have to log out and back in as root
[02:19] <infomomo> coocolo: whereis sshd or whereis ssh
[02:19] <Lint01> where is cron folder?
[02:19] <iceroot> !sudo | botux1
[02:19] <tonyyarusso> PhotoJim: in Debian-derived systems, it's 'sudo invoke-rc.d <service>' preferred over 'sudo /etc/init.d/<service>'.
[02:19] <coocolo> ssh: /usr/bin/ssh /etc/ssh
[02:19] <infomomo> Lint01: whereis cron
[02:19] <PhotoJim> coocolo: I dunno.  I have an /etc/init.d/ssh file.  if I run it it restarts my daemon.  and as far as I know, it's installed even if you don't have ssh installed.
[02:20] <botux1> im trying to creata directory and its failing and i used sudo
[02:20] <infomomo> coocolo: /etc/ssh restart ? have you tried ?
[02:20] <PhotoJim> tonyyarusso: yes, I'm learning that.  I've used Debian/Ubuntu for lots of years but I hadn't heard that syntax until a couple of weeks ago.  Old habits die hard. :)
[02:20] <tonyyarusso> PhotoJim: understandable :)
[02:20] <botux1> saying permission denied
[02:20] <coocolo> ill try after i do the update
[02:20] <coocolo> its almost done
[02:21] <infomomo> botux1: hmm, whera re uyou trying to create >
[02:21] <coocolo> ive never had such a hard time and ive done this a million times
[02:21] <coocolo> thats why i was baffeled, figure it was cus of 8.10 which i havent used yet
[02:21] <infomomo> botux1:  the directory is proably WR- for root
[02:21] <botux1> a directory in /mnt for my windows share
[02:21] <kevin009> ok i cleared the wifi info from /etc/network/interfaces, but it still connects automatically and nm-applet doesn't work correctly
[02:22] <zaccour> I'm about to try out Debian 5 and Mandriva.
[02:22] <Matson> is there a script of a dpkg-reconfigure that will walk me through the ip/netmask/gateway networking setup?
[02:22] <zaccour> I'm about to try out Debian 5 and Mandriva. Are these similar to Ubuntu?
[02:22] <zaccour> and yes, its on topic because im asking for Ubuntu comparisons
[02:23] <tonyyarusso> zaccour: Debian will be pretty close, but Mandriva uses a different packaging system.  Still, since it's not support-related, this is better for #ubuntu-offtopic.
[02:23] <zaccour> ok
[02:23] <zaccour> sorry
[02:23] <m1dlg> ok guys, how do I give myself the permissions of root just for editing content of drives, to act like root as admin when it comes to moving files and using mount and gparted
[02:23] <coocolo> i cant belive this SSH thing, its crazy
[02:23] <coocolo> i mean i have literally done this a thousand time
[02:23] <coocolo> times*
[02:24] <minimike150> m1dlg, you could use nautilus
[02:24] <infomomo> coocolo: last option is log out of session let all servcies restart
[02:24] <badpenguin86> Anybody know a feed reader that is compatible with the newsgator service?
[02:24] <coocolo> infomomo: well sshd in ps aux | grep says its on but i havent even installed it yet
[02:24] <eqisow> m1kdlg: not really a good idea, just use root/sudo for those tasks
[02:24] <coocolo> kept getting errors about replaced packages and what not
[02:25] <m1dlg> I'm just trying to undo whatever it was that broke this, because I was working like this without special permissons to mount umount cut paste etc.
[02:25] <coocolo> so im doing an update now, if it doesnt work after this and a restart, not sure
[02:25] <ahorner> How would I install the ATI restricted drivers from command line?
[02:25] <infomomo> coocolo:  WT..buntu :D
[02:25] <ron2010> anybody know how to work usb mouse in virtual box?
[02:27] <infomomo> ron2010: should work automatically, if not then add USB device
[02:27] <ahorner> I installed 8.04 then immediately upgraded to 8.10. Didn't install the restricted video drivers, then rebooted. Now all I get is a black screen after the ubuntu loading screen.
[02:27] <infomomo> ron2010: from your virtual image parameters
[02:27] <Matson> in /etc/network/interfaces - do I add "network 201.237.247.0/24"  or "network 201.237.247.0"
[02:27] <infomomo> ahorner: why didnt you install 8.10 right away !!!!
[02:27] <coocolo> update fixed it
[02:27] <coocolo> thank god
[02:28] <coocolo> i was like wtf!
[02:28] <PhotoJim> hmm, weird glitch.  glad it's fixed, anyway.
[02:28] <infomomo> coocolo: seeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!\
[02:28] <ahorner> infomomo: Because I didn't have a live cd of it and didn't want to download it.
[02:28] <infomomo> ahorner: that sucks :(
[02:29] <ahorner> I guess all I would need to do is install the ATI restricted drivers but I would need to be in some sort of video mode or know how to do it from command line
[02:29] <infomomo> Matson: 201.237.247.0/24
[02:29] <ahorner> I've already reconfigured xserver
[02:29] <minimike150> Does anybody know if its possible to disable a cirtain network card from the network manager?
[02:29] <infomomo> Matson: ooops, sorry:"network 201.237.247.0 netmask 255.255.255.0"
[02:30] <alaforest> join #linux-meetup-quebec

[02:44] <DaveJansen> Hi Guys! I've got a (hopefully) quick question! I'm running into a problem with my Ubuntu 8.10 installation, where it states there are 810 (!) broken packages. Running repair fails on a package called 'xserver-xorg-inputz', which apparently does not exist.. Any help would me MUCH appreciated, I can't continue working until this is solved. Please ask if any more info is needed!
[02:44] <tonyyarusso> botux1: Right click on the desktop, not in nautilus.
[02:44] <DaveJansen> (pardon the somewhat long question)
[02:44] <mothdragon> hello i'm trying to get my 8.10 out of low graphics mode... is anyone here qualified to help? I've tried looking online, but i'mnot finding helpful info there...
[02:45] <space_cadet> Has anyone attained different backgrounds for each cube face while still retaining your icons and right click menu's??
[02:45] <coocolo> anyone know of a simple way to edit deb package dependencies?
[02:45] <botux1> oh lol
[02:45] <n8tuser> DaveJansen-> a new install? you may as well re-install to completion
[02:45] <tonyyarusso> coocolo: You have to edit the source package and re-build it.  Dependencies are defined in debian/control.
[02:45] <DaveJansen> n8tuser: I just installed it yesterday, is reinstallation the only option? That kinda sucks..
[02:46] <Matson> what do I use to set which services start and stop on the server at boot time?
[02:46] <Matson> on debian I used to use rcconf - is there somethin like that for ubuntu?
[02:46] <n8tuser> DaveJansen-> whatever you messed with that requires that many broken packages? or it seems you really was not able to complete the install
[02:46] <mapreduce> How can I install Ubuntu into a directory without being root?  I know of debootstrap, and of fakechroot and fakeroot, but I could do with a pointer to step by step instructions.
[02:46] <wooo> ok so i put a wireless G card in my machine
[02:46] <zloog> Matson: I belive you put what you want in /etc/init.d/rc.local
[02:46] <wooo> how do it test it out
[02:46] <tonyyarusso> Matson: you can do the same thing.  I like the sysv-rc-conf tool myself (ncurses-type pseudo-GUI).
[02:47] <clearscreen> Matson, gnome has an option to configure that.. check your administration menu

[02:47] <Z32Kyle> Has anyone had issues before installing ubuntu 8.10 on a lenovo t500 series laptop?
[02:47] <DaveJansen> n8tuser: It worked fine until I tried to get compiz to work using this guide: http://tr.im/ipGq. I have removed the changes but I'm guessing it happened after running the first command
[02:48] <Matson> zloog: for boot yes - was thinking more on "does apache2 boot at startup" and such
[02:48] <infomomo> thewrath: it will let you login
[02:48] <kavity> Installing.
[02:48] <kavity> Oop
[02:48] <n8tuser> DaveJansen-> to reconstruct what you have done or undo will take as much time as a fresh install (40 mins)

Its very baisc, Im  learning as I go (never made a script before). http://pastebin.com/d696b8249 I don't know why when I set the BSSID that has a space I add "\" due to the special character i.e the space, but It seems as the exec is not inputting this correctly. This works with BSSID's that have no space. Can anyone tell me what I might be
[02:58] <lewench> missing?
[03:00] <tonyyarusso> lewench: you might try to just enclose it in quotes instead of trying to escape spaces.
[03:00] <tonyyarusso> lewench: (but #bash would know better)

[03:02] <l3iohazard> Hi I am a noob with ubuntu and can't figure out how to get the desktop cube to work.
[03:02] <bonnyrc> l3iohazard, install compiz fusion

[03:02] <minimike150> !compuiz
[03:02] <l3iohazard> Its already installed
[03:02] <minimike150> !compiz
[03:02] <PhotoJim> l3iohazard: do you need a script?  you could jsut have it in your /etc/fstab file and it would mount at boot.
[03:02] <minimike150> try that IRC channel or the howto
[03:03] <Man> hi
[03:03] <Z32Kyle> biohazard you need to install the compiz settings manager
[03:03] <l3iohazard> I have
[03:03] <bonnyrc> l3iohazard, if it works with you export the default settings for me
[03:03] <clearscreen> l3iohazard: install compizconfig-settings-manager and enable the cube.. or you could just set stuff to High in your gnome appearance config
[03:03] <bonnyrc> just install settings manager

[03:04] <l3iohazard> I think
[03:05] <minimike150> System>Administration>HardwareDrivers
[03:05] <minimike150> check if your driver has been enabled
[03:05] <Z32Kyle> nobody can offer a suggestion to my issue?
[03:05] <l3iohazard> It says its enabled
[03:05] <minimike150> Have you ran the compiz setting manager?
[03:05] <Iceman_B^Ltop> how can I see what version of irssi is in the repo's ?
[03:05] <l3iohazard> Yeah
[03:06] <minimike150> ok well can you check if the desktop cube is enabled
[03:06] <jrib> Iceman_B^Ltop: apt-cache policy irssi
[03:07] <l3iohazard> When enable the desktop cube and hold Ctrl + Alt it only show one window instead of the cube.
[03:07] <Comrade> how do i send an email with the command prompt?
[03:07] <minimike150> Oh
[03:07] <minimike150> I think I know
[03:07] <bonnyrc> l3iohazard, make 4 desktops
[03:07] <minimike150> on the bottom right of your screen - you need to have 4 or more
[03:07] <bonnyrc> in 1 row
[03:07] <psywiped> l3iohazard you only realy see the cube if you grab it on the desktop
[03:07] <psywiped> and yea you need at least 3 desktops for it to work
[03:08] <minimike150> 3+ Workspaces in a column for it to have the 'Cube' or 'Triangluar' effect
[03:08] <bonnyrc> no one can export .profile of default settings for me ?
[03:08] <l3iohazard> One second
[03:08] <psywiped> still cant figure out how to accessthe next row
[03:08] <jrib> bonnyrc: /etc/skel/.profile
[03:09] <l3iohazard> I have the columns set to 2 and rows set to 2.
[03:09] <psywiped> i want a tessrat
[03:09] <bonnyrc> jrib, no I wanted .profile from ccsm
[03:09] <minimike150> make 1 column and then how ever many sides you want
[03:09] <jrib> Comrade: you probably just want to use something like esmtp...
[03:09] <minimike150> more than 3
[03:09] <jrib> bonnyrc: why?
[03:09] <Comrade> jrib, I have to use mail
[03:09] <minimike150> and then the cube will desplay the workspaces you have set
[03:09] <bonnyrc> jrib, something is missed with default settings here
[03:09] <psywiped> minimike150 YEA thats what i ended up doing
[03:09] <l3iohazard> Thx for the help
[03:10] <minimike150> ok :)
[03:10] <jrib> Comrade: congratulations, but you should probably at least look at what esmtp is
[03:10] <psywiped> jrib 3 sides or more give it voulme
[03:11] <Comrade> jrib, ive used emtp before, but i have this PHP script that needs to interface with mail and it doesnt seem to work... so i figure the program is configured wrong
[03:11] <jrib> bonnyrc: so just delete your default settings and let ccsm repopulate them
[03:11] <bonnyrc> jrib, ok
[03:12] <jrib> Comrade: you mean the "mail" function in php?
[03:12] <elitecoder> I made a script called ipnotify in /etc/init.d/ipnotify to send the current ip to my box when it reboots. I did this: http://pastebin.com/m16863335
[03:12] <elitecoder> did I .. mess something up?
[03:12] <Comrade> jrib, yes.
[03:12] <psywiped> i tend to have 6 vd's
[03:12] <jrib> Comrade: meh, try the php channel
[03:13] <Comrade> jrib, i can try

[03:18] <ynk> hey guys.
[03:18] <bobg> Question regarding mounting of "extra" drives.  This machine used to run Windoze w/2 HD.  The second drive is split into four partitions.  Ubuntu/File Browser "sees" them and when I click on them they appear on the desktop....When I reboot they are gone.      How can I make them stay on the desktop
[03:18] <tran> hi
[03:18] <Man> fdfdf
[03:18] <tran> chao a phu
[03:18] <ynk> i'm trying to log into my hardy heron, and all i get is the "grub" prompt. what could be going wrong?
[03:18] <psywiped> add them to fstab
[03:19] <HammerHead66> ﻿ ynk: start grub in safe mode
[03:19] <unop> !fstab > bobg
[03:20] <ynk> HammerHead66, how do i do that? whenever i go into my ubuntu side of the global, i automatically see the "grub" terminal.  i don't know what to do from there..
[03:20] <ynk> *globe
[03:20] <psywiped> cool when did ubottu get the upgrade?
[03:20] <HammerHead66> ﻿ ynk: when it says grub loading hit the Esc buttton on the keyboard
[03:21] <elitecoder> Can crontab run something once when it boots?
[03:21] <bobg> unop:  I looked at that last night and cannot make sense of it.........I'm not a command line guy
[03:21] <ynk> HammerHead66, that'll fix my problem, huh? ok, i'll give it a try. thanks, pal. ;D
[03:21] <ndan> interesting question...  i've noticed since installing ubuntu 8.10 on this laptop i have to "hold a key" any key while loading... ne ideas?
[03:21] <ndan> it hangs twice if i don't press a key at those points. :-\
[03:22] <psywiped> try reinstalling
[03:22] <unop> bobg, the /etc/fstab is just a text file - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab .. if you don't understand anything there, ask about it.
[03:22] <HammerHead66> ﻿ndan: you should only have to do that once. Hit you Num Lock key til the light comes on if it goes off hit it til it comes on again it should fix it
[03:22] <jua> ndan i remember about two years ago happened the same to me, don't remember why or how it fixed tho :P maybe disable usplash
[03:22] <jua> and check messages
[03:23] <JaiHo> Friends i installed ubuntu in my Internal HDD  and debian linux in my ext hard disk. if my ext hdd is not turned at the time of rebooting, grub is not loadin and i m not able to use ubuntu.. Some suggestions pls
[03:23] <psywiped> can anyone help with GPG?
[03:23] <ndan> cool thanks HammerHead66 and jua i'll try the prior then the latter
[03:24] <psywiped> JaiHo use the live cd to install grub on your main hdd
[03:24] <HammerHead66> ﻿JaiHo: go into grub by pressing the Esc button when you see the grub screen
[03:24] <psywiped> JaiHo or get system commander
[03:24] <JaiHo> psywiped,   when my Ext hdd is powered i have not doubt, but if it s turned off, i  mnot able to use buntu
[03:24] <HammerHead66> ﻿ndan: np
[03:25] <DonDoitle> Any way to kill ftp when using no GUI mode in ubuntu?
[03:25] <psywiped> !grub
[03:26] <jua> DonDoitle: terminal?
[03:26] <DonDoitle> shell prompt
[03:26] <unop> DonDoitle, the ftp server?
[03:26] <DonDoitle> yeah just ftp from teh shell
[03:26] <JaiHo> Thanks for tips psywiped and Hammer head66
[03:26] <gabriel_> Hi everyone
[03:26] <unop> DonDoitle,  sudo /etc/init.d/*ftpd* stop
[03:26] <jua> killit with kill -9 pid
[03:26] <palomer> high
[03:26] <jua> or pkill ftp
[03:26] <DonDoitle> I have only one terminal
[03:26] <gabriel_> I have a question: is it possible to password protect a folder in ubuntu?
[03:26] <jua> or killall ftp
[03:26] <unop> jua, err no .. you never kill -9 anything, especially not an ftpd
[03:27] <HammerHead66> ﻿gabriel_: yes right click and go into pref's
[03:27] <HammerHead66> ﻿gabriel_: click on encryption
[03:27] <ruben231> hi anyone have tried to install x lite on ubuntu 8.10
[03:27] <jua> well, thats a "rude" way i guess, you always can be polit and use -3 or -15
[03:28] <psywiped> HammerHead66 does that just add somthing to prefrences or does it make it so you cant acces it without a password
[03:28] <jua> its the same almost always unless you run a mega server
[03:28] <gabriel_> where do I rght click?
[03:28] <HammerHead66> ﻿psywiped: can access without password
[03:28] <psywiped> on the folder
[03:28] <DonDoitle> So what should I do? I just have an ftp prompt and exit does nothing
[03:28] <HammerHead66> ﻿psywiped: sorry Can't access without passwaor
[03:28] <unop> jua, that's not it tho .. when you send a SIGKILL to a process, you don't give it the chance to clean up, tell it's children its going away, clean up temp files, memory, sockets, etc
[03:29] <gabriel_> when I right click a see encrypt
[03:29] <psywiped> HammerHead66 so like truecript?
[03:29] <HammerHead66> right
[03:29] <jua> is it the client youre tryiing to kill?
[03:29] <DonDoitle> I was sending files to an FTP server
[03:29] <DonDoitle> and when I typed exit nothing happened
[03:29] <unop> DonDoitle, try.  quit
[03:29] <psywiped> DonDoitle or ctrl+c
[03:29] <jua> i dont worry that much about it, thats all
[03:30] <DonDoitle> ctrl C just takes me back to FTP>
[03:30] <jua> is nothing to be so terrified about
[03:30] <HammerHead66> ﻿psywiped: Unsure but you can read up on it. Also see in package install search for encryption for more stuff
[03:30] <jua> quit
[03:30] <unop> jua, .. sure, but don't suggest that to other people eh ..
[03:31] <jua> oohh, alright
[03:31] <gabriel_> ok, i see 2 options when I right click the folder and click on encrypt, I see create a new key, and when I click it says Secure Shell Key and PGP Key, which one should I choose?
[03:31] <DonDoitle> quit does nothing as well : / Is there a way to sort of tab to a second terminal window that I can kill the first from?
[03:31] <Shortguy109> can anyone help me? lol im trying to install adobe
[03:32] <kitche> DonDoitle: try quit instead of exit
[03:32] <Shortguy109> it says: Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, SeaMonkey, or Firefox browser (i.e., /usr/lib/mozilla): <-- /usr/lib/mozilla
[03:32] <unop> DonDoitle, where are you now tho?  at a virtual terminal?
[03:32] <Shortguy109> i have no idea where to direct it or whatever
[03:32] <HammerHead66> ﻿gabriel_: witch ever you would like. If you want to make a better encryption create a new key or go for the other one
[03:33] <gabriel_> ok thanks
[03:33] <Shortguy109> anyone help me install adobe flash player?? im confuzzzzzzzzzzled :P

[03:40] <Mike_lifeguard> no, my laptop
[03:40] <Im_Toast> Shortguy109: That is exactly right, usr/lib/mozilla

[03:41] <bobg> Unop:  Page for fstab gave me "blkid: and here is one line (/dev/sdb1: UUID="DE68C21768C1EDF9" LABEL="Country" TYPE="ntfs) so where do I put the "auto" command?
[03:41] <HammerHead66> ﻿[T]ank: sorry man I don't know how to help you then.
[03:41] <Shortguy109> whenever i type in /usr/lib/mozilla it says WARNING: Please enter a valid installation path.
[03:41] <neruda> anyone tried ubuntu portable (http://lifehacker.com/5195999/portable-ubuntu-runs-ubuntu-inside-windows)? Is it just Cygwin on a usb stick? what makes it Ubuntu/
[03:41] <[T]ank> HammerHead66: Im on intrepid... are you also?
[03:43] <HammerHead66> ﻿[T]ank: on 8.04
[03:43] <unop> bobg,  your fstab line would become something like this.   UUID="DE68C21768C1EDF9"  /media/mydisk  ntfs-3g  user,auto,defaults,rw  0  0
[03:43] <psywiped> Mike_lifeguard make sure to back up your data first
[03:43] <HammerHead66> ﻿[T]ank: Gnome
[03:43] <rhousand_home> Shortguy109, try sudo fine / -iname mozilla to get the path
[03:43] <ashvala> Heya
[03:43] <ashvala> My ubuntu 8.04 refuses to boot
[03:44] <ashvala> any solutions?
[03:44] <HammerHead66> ﻿ ashvala: just black screen then reboots over and over again?
[03:44] <psywiped> ashvala upgrade
[03:44] <judget> I got a WinTV working on my USB using xawtv but no sound
[03:44] <ashvala> psywiped: not upgraded, Cant upgrade either
[03:45] <judget> any idea how to get the sound from the USB to my sound card
[03:45] <psywiped> ouch
[03:45] <[T]ank> HammerHead66: you are talking about the system menu, right? The one right next to places and applications?
[03:45] <ashvala> HammerHead66: Goes up to the last step,(ie, VirtualBox Kernel Module Starting), and stops right there
[03:45] <HammerHead66> ﻿ [T]ank: yes the text
[03:45] <HammerHead66> ﻿ [T]ank: drop down menu
[03:46] <psywiped> ashvala what does it do when you try to boot?
[03:46] <coldboot|home> $Is anyone in here in Sweden?
[03:46] <bobg> Unop:  fstab didn't work..........your htttp page said to use blkid  How do I edit blkid?
[03:46] <ashvala> psywiped: It boots up to the last box, The last box apparently does the /etc/rc2.d start. That is not working
[03:46] <[T]ank> HammerHead66: yeah... thats where Im at.. its a vanilla install. Cant imagine why I wouldnt have it.
[03:47] <psywiped> ashvala can you get the recovery mode to boot?
[03:47] <unop> bobg,  blkid is the app you use to get the UUID or label of your device .. but haven't you already done that?  where did this value come from? UUID="DE68C21768C1EDF9"
[03:47] <HammerHead66> ﻿[T]ank: you my not have the package for it installed
[03:47] <[T]ank> any idea what package it is?
[03:47] <ashvala> psywiped:how do I land up there?
[03:47] <Im_Toast> Does anyone know... I was trying to put a picture at the top and bottom of my desktop cube instead of just a color... I can get one to go to the top, but not the bottom. Any suggestions?
[03:48] <psywiped> ashvala its in the grub menu when you start the computer
[03:48] <mothdragon> hi guys! I'm trying to get the video to work on my system... when i was running 8.04 it defaulted to 1024x768 res... now it won't go above 800x600.... trying to fix it i got it so that it loads in low graphics mode now... I have an old e-TNT2 vanta card... anyone know how to get this running? I'm a relative noob
[03:48] <ashvala> psywiped: Yes I was able to, I did the e2fsck yest on all my partitions
[03:48] <ashvala> today, no
[03:48] <bobg> unop: when I typed in blkid in a terminal window that is part of what came up.  I just chose one line as an example
[03:49] <mothdragon> hi guys! I'm trying to get the video to work on my system... when i was running 8.04 it defaulted to 1024x768 res... now it won't go above 800x600.... trying to fix it i got it so that it loads in low graphics mode now... I have an old e-TNT2 vanta card... anyone know how to get this running? I'm a relative noob and i'm now running 8.10
[03:50] <psywiped> mothdragon try reinstalling
[03:50] <unop> bobg, ok, in that output you should find the UUID for the device you want to mount automatically, you then use that UUID to create a line you put into /etc/fstab .. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab  shows you how to create the lines (see towards the bottom)
[03:50] <zetheroo> just updated Ubuntu Hardy and my wireless is no longer working with the new kernel version
[03:51] <ashvala> psywiped: anything that can be done?
[03:51] <mothdragon> psywiped I'd really rather avoid that... especially since it was working only 5 hours ago before i tried to change the resolution... I was playing around and set it to 340x200 for fun.. then whoops, I couldn't get it back...
[03:51] <psywiped> ashvala i havent encountered that issue so im not sure whats up with it the forums tend to have some good info
[03:51] <bobg> unop:  OK, Ill give it a try..........Thanks
[03:51] <psywiped> mothdragon do you have a backup of your xorg file?
[03:52] <coppro> Is there some program like 'uname' that includes distribution information or the like?
[03:52] <skorzen> coppro, lsb_release.
[03:52] <mothdragon> psywiped.. i personally didn't make one... but when I tried to use one on the computer from the original install, it didn't seem to fix it... it still wants to boot into low graphics mode
[03:52] <coppro> skorzen: Is that on most/all Linux systems?
[03:53] <zetheroo> ﻿just updated Ubuntu Hardy and my wireless is no longer working with the new kernel version
[03:53] <coppro> zetheroo: define 'not working'
[03:53] <skorzen> coppro, I think so. If you do type 'lsb_release -a' you can get all the info about the distro itself.
[03:53] <coppro> okay thanks
[03:53] <zetheroo> ﻿coppro: like not at all active
[03:54] <coppro> zetheroo: Can you type 'iwconfig' on a terminal and see if your wireless card is detected?
[03:54] <zetheroo> ﻿coppro: in Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.1 it was working fine ...
[03:54] <zetheroo> ﻿coppro: it is detected as I can see it in the Hardware Drivers panel ... but it will not activate
[03:55] <coppro> zetheroo: Just run it; the hardware may be detected but the wireless not, or the like
[03:55] <CheesyWeasel> Hey, is there an app out there that can display the mouse coordinates next to the pointer or elsewhere on the screen?
[03:55] <Im_Toast> What can you do if ubuntu doesn't find hardware? like it's not in the hardware drivers program
[03:55] <zetheroo> ﻿coppro: well Iam now booted into the kernel that wireless works in  ... so its not going to help any .. hehe
[03:56] <coppro> Im_Toast: hardware drivers doesn't list all your hardware
[03:56] <Im_Toast> I mean like propriatary that doesn't show up there
[03:56] <Im_Toast> what do you do?
[03:56] <zetheroo> ﻿coppro : \2.6.24-22-generic Atheros wifi works fine --- 2.6.24-23-generic Atheros wifi no go!
[03:57] <coppro> zetheroo: well, there could be any number of reasons why not - it's important to diagnose why exactl
[03:57] <commander_> timevault
[03:57] <zetheroo> ﻿coppro: give me one reason? ...
[03:58] <coppro> zetheroo: because it could be a driver problem or a userland software problem, for starters
[03:58] <zetheroo> ﻿coppro: why all of a sudden with this particular kernal update?
[03:59] <coppro> zetheroo: it would tend to suggest a driver issue
[03:59] <zetheroo> http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Ubuntu/2009-02/msg00250.html
[03:59] <zetheroo> here is someone else having the exact same issue
[03:59] <coppro> but it could be a problem with networkmanager
[03:59] <coppro> it generally doesn't work
[03:59] <coppro> (for instance, my card refuses to work under networkmanager, but will do fine manually)
[04:00] <grodius> Hey does anyone know how to piggyback ubuntu off an iphone3g?
[04:00] <ppp> hi
[04:00] <yo> hola
[04:01] <CheesyWeasel> Hey, is there an app out there that can display the mouse coordinates next to the pointer or elsewhere on the screen?
[04:01] <yo> soy nuevo
[04:01] <coppro> not that I'm aware of
[04:02] <unop> CheesyWeasel, xev  perhaps
[04:03] <yo> jack
[04:04] <Mike_lifeguard> ok, so I switched to my Intrepid CD and got the initial screen, but then choosing anything made it hang - even trying to check the CD's integrity :\
[04:04] <Mike_lifeguard> I guess that means it's a coaster?
[04:04] <coppro> probably
[04:04] <yo> hispajak
[04:04] <coppro> got another computer to try on?
[04:04] <Joker_-_> any idea how to force overscan with nvidia driver (I eard 173 can do overscan as opposed to newer versions, but theres nothing bout that in the GUI)
[04:04] <Mike_lifeguard> no... but my Hardy CD worked fine, so I doubt it's hardware
[04:05] <android6011> what in your opinion is the best aim client that supports webcam for linux?
[04:05] <coppro> does pidgin support webcam
[04:05] <coppro> ?
[04:06] <somenoob93> I don't know about AIM, but I've heard Skype is working on webcam support for x64 linux systems, but I haven't checked to see if they have it yet
[04:06] <Iceman_B^Ltop> whats a good CLI hex viewer editor ?
[04:06] <zionpsyfer> I'm having trouble getting pictures off of my Canon Rebel XT, it worked prior to the upgrade to intrepid.  I suspect it has to do with the changes with udev to hal and consolekit.  Anyone with experience in the udev/hal/ck-list that can help?
[04:06] <Nephilus> does anyone know how  to make an app launcher in cairo dock? i know how to make a launcher i just dont know the command. is it <alt> F1?
[04:07] <Nephilus> because that didn't work for me
[04:07] <Joker_-_> _any_ idea how to force overscan with nvidia driver (I eard 173 can do overscan as opposed to newer versions, but theres nothing bout that in the GUI)
[04:07] <qcjn> hi, anyone knows how to watch tc, using mplayer , from a pvr 150 card ??
[04:07] <qcjn> tc/tv
[04:08] <Nephilus> no sorry
[04:08] <Mike_lifeguard> OK, so if I have a working Hardy CD, then I can just upgrade after install right?
[04:08] <qcjn> Nephilus: thanks anyway
[04:08] <Mike_lifeguard> except that installer didn't have an option to resize the partition
[04:08] <mib_296vpl> hi, how can I browse files on my ntfs partition?
[04:09] <Stepan1> Kompozer, an html editor, keeps shutting down when i scroll through some menus.  Why?
[04:09] <skorzen> mib_296vpl, ntfs-3g.
[04:09] <Mike_lifeguard> Can that be done manually somehow from within the Hardy installer?
[04:09] <bonhoffer> how do i install my scanner hp scanjet 4600
[04:09] <mib_296vpl> skorzen: i type that in terminal?
[04:09] <crazypoultry> not sure if this is a linux or windows issue here, but, i just finished connecting my xp desktop and my ubuntu8.10 desktop using an ethernet cable(using vnc to control the ubuntu box) how can i get ubuntu to see the files on the xp comp?
[04:09] <skorzen> mib_296vpl, just type 'sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g' to see what happens.
[04:09] <tonyyarusso> Stepan1: Because of an incompatibility with the version of gtk in Ubuntu 8.10 and onward.  Sorry...
[04:09] <mib_296vpl> ok thanks skorzen
[04:10] <skorzen> mib_296vpl, no problem.
[04:10] <mib_296vpl> http://mibbit.com/pb/4XuIOW skorzen
[04:10] <Stepan1> tonyyarusso: is it a Kompozer issue (as far as them updating their code) or a ubuntu issue?
[04:10] <skorzen> crazypoultry, using samba.
[04:11] <somenoob93> I have trouble booting a linux distro from my flash drive. If anyone knows something about it, private message me please
[04:11] <ron2010> anybody have any success getting usb mouse to work on virtual box windows xp?
[04:11] <tonyyarusso> Stepan1: KompoZer issue.  It's being worked on upstream, but I haven't had time to re-build the Ubuntu package yet.  You should still be able to install from upstream directly as a ZIP file.
[04:11] <qcjn> or how to dual monitor with nvidia setting, it's plugged but it doesn't see it ?
[04:11] <skorzen> bonhoffer, if it isn't auto-detected, try this: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html
[04:12] <bonhoffer> skorzen, how do i tell if it is autodetected -- sane doesn't pick it up
[04:12] <crazypoultry> skorzen: still pretty new to linux, samba installed by default or no?(the ubuntu box is not connected to the internet.
[04:12] <skorzen> mib_296vpl, that means you have the program installed.
[04:12] <Stepan1> tonyyarusso: thanks
[04:12] <bonhoffer> skoef, hplip is in the distro, no?
[04:12] <skorzen> crazypoultry, samba isn't installed by default on ubuntu.
[04:13] <skorzen> bonhoffer, did you tried those drivers I told you?
[04:13] <mib_296vpl> skorzen: how can i get the porgram to let me communicate with the partition?
[04:13] <L3dPlatedLinux> where are the icon located ?
[04:13] <crazypoultry> skorzen: tyvm
[04:13] <bonhoffer> skorzen, sorry, it looks like those drivers are default in 8.10
[04:13] <mib_296vpl> nevermind skorzen thanks anyway
[04:14] <ricardo> hello how can i set the JAVA_HOME?
[04:14] <skorzen> mib_296vpl, ubuntu doesn't mount it automatically for you?
[04:15] <Acier> Oh boy
[04:15] <viet> question how do i get on whatnet.org?
[04:15] <Acier> I need some help here
[04:15] <somenoob93> Anyone know something about booting a linux distro from a pen drive? The pen drive is setup right, I just don't know how to boot the thing up... I plug the pen drive in, turn the computer on, and nothing happens. Most of the normal commands like getting into bios won't work as long as the pen drive is plugged in.
[04:15] <mib_296vpl> skorzen: nope
[04:15] <Acier> I'm a new linux yser
[04:15] <mib_296vpl> well there is nothing on my desktop skorzen
[04:15] <Acier> *user
[04:15] <Acier> and I installed linux
[04:15] <somenoob93> viet, if it's an irc server, something like /server irc.whatnet.org  ?
[04:15] <DonDoitle>  wow my RTC is way off
[04:15] <Acier> problem is, when I shutdown my laptop, it acts funny
[04:15] <DonDoitle> it thinks it is 12:35PM
[04:15] <ricardo> i tried to start tomcat and it ask me for JAVA_HOME
[04:15] <Acier> It wouldn't load ubuntu
[04:16] <Acier> so I had to reboot with the CD and install it again
[04:16] <skorzen> mib_296vpl, try forcing it: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdx /mountpoint -o force
[04:16] <skorzen> You must replace sdx with the correct syntax, and 'mountpoint' also.
[04:16] <Acier> my settings were (wireless network, etc.) save
[04:16] <mib_296vpl> will do skorzen
[04:17] <Acier> also, I couldn't log in my profile
[04:17] <Acier> unless the thing you make on installition isn't one O_o
[04:17] <mib_296vpl> skorzen: except i want to mount the partition with the smaller size: /dev/sda3           16179       18674    20047111+   7  HPFS/NTFS or /dev/sda2             616       16064   124085248    7  HPFS/NTFS
[04:17] <Searles> I'm installing Ubuntu on a 15 GB HDD, but I'm somewhat confused.
[04:18] <Searles> It's asking me for the installation size.
[04:18] <Searles> Should I select 8 GB as the installation size?
[04:18] <yabberman> This is probably a dumb question, but got me stumped. I added a new hardrive and mounted the new drive as /var/ after I copied the var data into it. I then rebooted and all is working well, I want to now delete the old "/var" data sitting on the / in the first hard drive....How do I get to this data to delete it as the new mount is masking it?
[04:18] <mogul218> if you are using Wubi it does that
[04:18] <mogul218> are you trying to install inside of windows Searles?
[04:18] <Searles> Should I use the entire 15 GB for the installation size?
[04:18] <skorzen> mib_296vpl, a smaller size? I would recommend you to resize it first, before mounting.
[04:18] <Lint01> Searles, why not?
[04:19] <Searles> Well, would it leave any extra space for me to save files on?
[04:19] <Searles> While using Ubuntu?
[04:19] <afallenhope> hey I'm having an issue with ufw. I can't delete the rules. Logs can be found at: http://pastebin.com/m145c700b
[04:19] <Lint01> Searles, you cannot set install size more than presen on your CD :)
[04:19] <mib_296vpl> skorzen: i have 2 windows paritions. one of them is smaller than the other. how do I find out which on that is?
[04:19] <Searles> The highest amount it'll let me select is 10 GB
[04:19] <Searles> It's only a 15 GB HDD
[04:19] <skorzen> mib_296vpl, if they're already mounted, go to the terminal and type 'df'.
[04:20] <mogul218> is your 15 gig hard drive a separate drive, partition or just free space in windows?
[04:20] <afallenhope> can I just remove it from /etc/ufw/applications?
[04:20] <Searles> But does that mean that I'll only have 3 GB left to download files from the internet to?
[04:20] <mogul218> no
[04:20] <Searles> It's a Separate drive
[04:20] <crazypoultry> does anyone know where i can download what i need to setup samba for an offline comp? the samba site as debian packages will they work?
[04:20] <mib_296vpl> http://mibbit.com/pb/3DvOHI skorzen
[04:20] <mogul218> wubi installs a virtual drive and it is maxxed out at whatever you set it at
[04:20] <Lint01> Searles, usually you download _everything_ from internet
[04:21] <Acier> Uhm, excuse me
[04:21] <Mike_lifeguard> So, if the option to resize partitions is not available on Hardy, then is it safe to use a third-party tool to setup partitions beforehand?
[04:21] <mogul218> so if you say 10 gigs, your ubuntu install will take up about 3 gigs at the start and then you have 7 gigs left
[04:21] <Acier> But, I'm seriously stumped here
[04:21] <Mike_lifeguard> In the Hardy installer, I mean.
[04:21] <Searles> Ok, I got it now.
[04:21] <mogul218> if you have a separate drive tho you should do a clean install by booting up from your cd rom
[04:21] <Searles> Thanks mogul218
[04:21] <Searles> I don't have a CD-R
[04:21] <Searles> So I'm using Wubi
[04:21] <mogul218> oh ok
[04:22] <mogul218> well choose the highest install size
[04:22] <skorzen> mib_296vpl, it seems like they aren't mounted yet.
[04:22] <Lint01> "installation size" is the size of virtual disk the system will be installed into
[04:22] <mogul218> you can always get LVPM and resize your virtual disk to a larger one
[04:22] <Acier> Also, this is strange
[04:22] <Acier> Am I running Linux off the CD?
[04:23] <mib_296vpl> skorzen: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /mountpoint -o force ?
[04:24] <Searles> If in install Ubuntu on my 15 GB HDD inside of my PC now, can I remove the HDD from this PC later and put it in a different PC and use it there?
[04:24] <skorzen> mib_296vpl, it's an option. Just change 'mountpoint' to something that makes you remember Windows. :-)
[04:24] <mogul218> i suppose you could...depends on what version of windows your are using tho
[04:24] <mib_296vpl> how about skorzen: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /home/jordan/Desktop -o force ?
[04:25] <Searles> I don't have another PC right now
[04:25] <botux> i have ubuntu and am tryingto see my ubuntu shares on my vista pc how do i find them
[04:25] <Searles> But I'm thinking about buying an old one
[04:25] <Searles> And just using Ubuntu on it
[04:25] <mib_296vpl> how about skorzen: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /home/jordan/Desktop/windows -o force ? do i need to create the dir or will it do it for me?
[04:25] <Searles> I wanna' take out the 15 GB HDD I'm installing Ubuntu on right now
[04:25] <Searles> And use it on an older PC that I'll get later on
[04:25] <skorzen> mib_296vpl, try that one.
[04:25] <skorzen> The last you wrote.
[04:25] <mib_296vpl> hokey
[04:26] <Searles> When I tried that with Windows, It didn't work
[04:26] <Acier> Uh
[04:26] <Searles> I guess you can only use Windows on the PC that it was originally installed on
[04:26] <Acier> Help me out here? X_x
[04:27] <mib_296vpl> skorzen: THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[04:27] <afallenhope> hey I'm having an issue with ufw. I can't delete the rules. Logs can be found at: http://pastebin.com/m145c700b
[04:27] <afallenhope> can I just remove it from /etc/ufw/applications?
[04:27] <mib_296vpl> i got it!
[04:27] <skorzen> Searles, different hardware, different kernel modules to load. ;-)
[04:27] <skorzen> mib_296vpl, did it work? :-)
[04:27] <mib_296vpl> ypu!
[04:27] <mib_296vpl> yup!
[04:27] <abhra> !register
[04:27] <mib_296vpl> thank you so much
[04:27] <skorzen> Good luck, then. ;-)
[04:28] <mib_296vpl> thanks a ton
[04:28] <mib_296vpl> bye!!
[04:28] <skorzen> No problem.
[04:28] <botux> i have set up samba but i cant find my samba shares on my windows pc
[04:28] <Searles> So after installing Ubuntu on my 15 GB HDD using this PC, I won't be able to take out the 15 GB HDD and use it/Ubuntu on a different PC later?
[04:29] <Searles> I'll have to keep it in this PC?
[04:29] <skorzen> Searles, you will, but you probably have to recompile the kernel.
[04:29] <mogul218> that's a lot of trouble to go thru
[04:29] <Searles> Oh
[04:29] <mogul218> you would be better off just reinstalling fresh
[04:29] <Acier> Uh.
[04:29] <Searles> That sucks
[04:29] <Acier> I just installed Ubuntu
[04:29] <mogul218> by then you will have your copy of ubuntu on bootable CD
[04:30] <Searles> It's easier to get the OS now and modify it how you want it and then get the PC later than the latter
[04:30] <Acier> and there were a couple of errors when I installed it with the CD
[04:30] <mogul218> i install ubuntu 2 or 3 times a week lately
[04:30] <mralexandro> will i loose anything more than hibernation by disabling swap. and also if i do not loose anything more. how do i disable swap in 8.04
[04:30] <mogul218> cause i'm playing around with partition sizes and stuff
[04:30] <mogul218> i used to wubi but i don't any more
[04:30] <asdf_n00b> Hi.  Does anyone have an idea for a way to organise my music collection using tags instead of directories, sort of like what Picasa does for pictures?
[04:31] <grodius> how can i modprobe to see what my wireless interface is using?
[04:31] <skorzen> mralexandro, just don't create a swap partition.
[04:31] <mralexandro> but i have already made it. but i was thinkin about disabling it. so i can use that partition for xp:/
[04:31] <skorzen> Acier, what kind of errors?
[04:31] <mralexandro> i have vista, ubuntu slackware and swap now, want to disable swap to install xp. cause of some applications i have to use for school
[04:32] <asdf_n00b> mralexandro, why don't you just shrink a partition to install XP?
[04:33] <skorzen> mralexandro, I think you must edit /etc/fstab file then.
[04:33] <Titan8990> mralexandro: VM or install visa, no need for two instances of windows
 partition one sda1 vista, partition 2 sda2 ubuntu, partition 3 sda3 slackware, partition 4 sda4 logical containing swap. i have used all the partitions
[04:33] <skorzen> Btw, disabling swap is not a good idea.
[04:33] <Titan8990> mralexandro: thats like double fail
[04:33] <abhra> i've my hdd divided in four partitions,one of them contains intrepid.now while booting the other three partitions are not mounted automatically.i've to mount them manually.is there any way to mount them automatically on boot up?
[04:33] <Mike_lifeguard> asdf_n00b: I'd like to do that too... but the hardy installer won't do that I guess. Can I resize the windows partition and create new ones for ubuntu with a third-party tool?
[04:33] <somenoob93> Anyone here know anything about booting from a USB drive? I configured the drive right, it's just for some reason it won't boot when the computer starts up.
[04:33] <somenoob93> Idk if I have to do something with bios
[04:33] <Titan8990> somenoob93: did you select usb device from your boot menu?
[04:33] <Mike_lifeguard> you have to make sure you're booting from USB... hit F12 or something right at the start of boot
[04:34] <Mike_lifeguard> it'll say what button right at the start
[04:34] <HammerHead66> ﻿somenoob93: go into the grub at startup
 i do agree with you, but the only flighstim working stable on my laptop, that i can feel will always work stable is fs2004, it does not come with a glass cockpit but there is a addon that gives me an up to date current glasscockpit, which is currently only supported in xp.
[04:35] <somenoob93> I don't know how to get into grub :s I installed my ubuntu via wubi ("inside" of Windows). The options I have are: Press Esc to enable startup message, F1 to enter System Info, F9 to change boot device order, F2 to startup check, F10 to enter SETUP, F11 to system recovery, and F12 to network boot
[04:35] <mralexandro> so i have think i have to go with either deleting swap or deleting slackware. only problem is i really like the lilo bootloader so much!!
[04:36] <botux> im trying to see my ubuntu shares on my windows machine anyone ahve any ideas?
[04:36] <aaronator> hi
[04:36] <Mike_lifeguard> botux: I think you have to mount it from within ubuntu
[04:36] <Titan8990> mralexandro: you could install lilo on ubuntu
[04:36] <Titan8990> mralexandro: couldn't tell you how much "hacking" it would require
[04:36] <Mike_lifeguard> on the other hand, I should be ignored because I've never even successfully installed ubuntu :D
[04:36] <Titan8990> mralexandro: check the package manager and see if lilo is there
[04:36] <Nephilus> does anyone know how to get a main menu in cairo dock
 yeah i think it would be above my head
[04:37] <mralexandro> oh ok
[04:37] <mralexandro> thanks
[04:37] <Nephilus> alt f1 doesn't work for me
[04:37] <Barridus> anyone know what the unicode keystroke is in jaunty?  iirc, it used to be alt-ctrl-u or something like that, i can't seem to re-guess what it is
[04:37] <Titan8990> !jaunty | Barridus
[04:37] <Titan8990> Barridus: wrong channel
[04:37] <nomasteryoda> lol
[04:37] <asdf_n00b> Does anyone know if it would be possible to have some type of database system for my too huge movie collection, where I could tag each movie with certain descriptions, something like Picasa does for pictures, Gmail for E-mail, or even similar to Libraries in Windows 7?
[04:37] <Barridus> :O sorry
[04:38] <aaronator> < I want to verify that my kernel config includes certain options, where do i find it
[04:38] <Nephilus> picasa works in wine
[04:38] <asdf_n00b> Picasa doesn't do Videos though
[04:38] <ron2010> help with usb mouse with virtual box
[04:39] <Nephilus> hmm idk
[04:39] <Titan8990> aaronator: you could apt-get the kernel sources and look at the config
[04:39] <asdf_n00b> thanks anyways
[04:39] <Dreamglider> How do i share a folder/harddisk from one ubuntu machine to another ubuntu machine (LAN)
[04:39] <asdf_n00b> I'll try to see what I can find online.  The problem arises where you can't just fit one movie in one distinct category
[04:39] <mralexandro> Titan8990 ok i found lilo in package manager. but listen, i did not install grub to the mbr. i installed it to sda2(ubuntu partition) if i choose to install lilo now. will it be able to install it in the mbr
[04:39] <aaronator> titan8990: this will allow me to view my current kernel config?
[04:40] <kinections> I'm having problems with pulse audio, it seems like it is using up lots of CPU, and hitting it's soft limit and killing itself.
[04:40] <kinections> how do i get it to take less CPU time?
[04:40] <ApOgEE--> hi, i have two ip segment connected to my ubuntu box 10.1.2.11 and 10.1.4.11 . my question is how can i allow those from 10.1.4.11 to connect to the other segments via my ubuntu box?
[04:40] <voodoonix> i'm having a lil trouble with intrepid, i can't seem to get my sound card to work, i can play music from my windows drive but i can't play sound else where i have a soundblaster live 5.1 on a dell computer
[04:40] <Titan8990> Dreamglider: many choices, for easy and secure ssh/scp; for faster transfers http or ftp
[04:41] <somenoob93> Hammerhead66 / Titan8990 , may I PM either of you? I wrote down the startup choices last time I restarted.. wondering if you could tell me which I need to pick
[04:41] <Titan8990> mralexandro: you will probably need to manually remove grub
[04:41] <Dreamglider> Titan8990, im currently sshing to the machine form wich i want the file
[04:41] <HammerHead66> ﻿voodoonix: what graphic card do you have?
[04:41] <voodoonix> radeon 9600
[04:41] <voodoonix> ati
[04:41] <Titan8990> mralexandro: and install lilo with the lilo command, might also need to write your own lilo.conf
[04:41] <HammerHead66> ﻿somenoob93: sure
[04:41] <voodoonix> graphics work wonderful
[04:41] <voodoonix> got compiz to work and everything
[04:41] <arvind_khadri> mralexandro, install grub to the mbr
[04:42] <HammerHead66> ﻿voodoonix: im me I'll give you the info
[04:42] <Titan8990> somenoob93: what problem were you having?
 i do not think i need to. cause grub is only on the ubuntu partition. lilo is the mbr right now. the only problem is everythime i configure it i have to do that trough slackware
[04:42] <Barridus> ok pretend i'm not running jaunty.  this is intrepid i swear ;)  *coughnobodyknowsinubuntu+1cough*  what's the intrepid unicode trigger to enter characters pls :)
[04:42] <badfish69> do i have to do if vara == "1" and if varb == "2"
[04:42] <badfish69> or just one 'if'?
[04:42] <botux> Mike_lifeguard: how do i mount samba shares
[04:42] <Mike_lifeguard> no idea
[04:42] <twois10> what is the kde3/konquerorsu kde4/dolphin equivalence?
[04:42] <Mike_lifeguard> I'm a total noob :)
[04:43] <Mike_lifeguard> botux: any advice I give is dangerous XD
[04:43] <Titan8990> Dreamglider: alright if you are already sshed into a host and want to pull a file from it, the syntax is: scp foobar.txt your_username@IPADDRESS:/some/remote/directory
[04:43] <itai_> hi, i got a ati radeon hd 2400 the live CD doesn't boot on it- it does boot on other computers- what can id o? (live cd -8.10)
[04:44] <somenoob93> Titan8990, when I turn my computer on with the pen drive in, the computer doesn't get past the first screen. It doesn't respond to most commands, like f9 etc
[04:44] <Titan8990> Dreamglider: but you can also mount scp locations with nautalus
[04:44] <somenoob93> I have to literally pull out the pen drive then restart without the drive in if I'm to do anything
[04:44] <Dreamglider> Titan8990, i do this on the local or remove ?
[04:44] <Titan8990> somenoob93: are you saying you don't get passed the POST?
[04:45] <mib_5orq9d> how do i get my sound to work in ubuntu?
[04:45] <eternal_> There  is a big difference from 8.04 to 8.10
[04:45] <twois10> what is the konquerorsu kde4/dolphin equivalence? to browse directory as root
[04:45] <Dreamglider> cant i mount the entire disk on the remote machine on this machine ?
[04:45] <somenoob93> yeah. I can't pass it, and I can't even push F9 (to change boot device order) while the pen drive is plugged in. I wonder if there's something to change in bios?
[04:45] <mralexandro> is it possible to disable the swap disk, and if i do. what will i miss of features?
[04:45] <Titan8990> Dreamglider: if you give permissions for your user to access it
[04:46] <botux> Mike_lifeguard: lol ill take my chances
[04:46] <Mike_lifeguard> well, I guess you'd have to mount it just like any other drive
[04:46] <Dreamglider> how
[04:46] <botux> lol ya how
[04:46] <Titan8990> Dreamglider: go to: places -> connect to server     choose ssh
[04:47] <Mike_lifeguard> when I did the "try ubuntu" thing from the installation CD it detected my Windows files just fine
[04:47] <Mike_lifeguard> so... *shrug*
[04:47] <somenoob93> May be back later. Trying to boot from the pen drive again
[04:47] <Dreamglider> on what end. remote or local ?
[04:47] <Titan8990> Dreamglider: is the drive you want to share already mounted?
[04:47] <Dreamglider> Titan8990, yes it's mounted, it's the Ubuntu drive
[04:47] <Titan8990> Dreamglider: the client
[04:48] <botux> im trying to be sure im mounting right im not sure i know how
[04:48] <aaronator> i am need to verify that my current kernel configuration includes certain options, i do not think apt-get will show me this will it?
[04:48] <Titan8990> Dreamglider: you want to share the root filesystem?
[04:48] <AndyML> does anyone know how to manage an LSI MegaRAID SATA 150-6 from inside ubuntu booted up? (vs the bios utility)
[04:49] <SerialNo> hi all
[04:49] <SerialNo> how can i make
[04:49] <SerialNo> transparent main many
[04:49] <itai_> hi, any tips for live cd not booting on ati radeon hd 2400 , it only gets to the "try without change" part
[04:49] <twois10> su
[04:50] <Dreamglider> Titan8990, yea
[04:50] <twois10> wrong place lol
[04:50] <Titan8990> Dreamglider: have to ask why
[04:50] <mib_5orq9d> how can I get sound to work with linux? I have a monitor with speakers in it. my monitor is this: http://america.hannsg.net/onweb.jsp?prod_no=3333333375&webno=3333333375 the drivers are only for vista
[04:50] <Dreamglider> Titan8990, i just want access to it to transfeer files
[04:50] <SerialNo> i want  Applications|Places|System to be transparent
[04:50] <Titan8990> Dreamglider: /home should be more than enough
[04:50] <SerialNo> any help
[04:50] <SerialNo> ?
[04:50] <Dreamglider> Titan8990, it could be a directory on the desktop aswell
[04:51] <Titan8990> Dreamglider: /var if it was a web server
[04:51] <SerialNo> yuuuuuuuuhhhhhuyyyyyyyyyy
[04:51] <Titan8990> Dreamglider: /home includes your desktop
[04:51] <SerialNo> any heeeeeeeelp
[04:51] <Dreamglider> Titan8990, then that's what i want
[04:51] <botux> whats the default ip for samba or how do i find out wht ip mines suing
[04:51] <botux> *using

[05:00] <mib_5orq9d> Titan8990: what command can i run to check to see what sound card i have?
[05:00] <arvind_khadri> !cn | qingbing
[05:01] <Titan8990> mib_5orq9d: lspci   or ls lshw -v

[05:04] <Titan8990> mib_5orq9d: np :)
[05:05] <aaronator> Titan, any more info on this please?
[05:05] <Titan8990> aaronator: sorry, yes its a text file but there is a TUI to search, document, and change it
[05:06] <aaronator> tui?
[05:06] <Titan8990> aaronator: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_User_Interface
[05:06] <zionpsyfer> I'm having a heck of a time trying to get pictures off of my camera, neither of my external card readers work.  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/146662/
[05:06] <stealth-> while messing with themes in gnome "The current controls theme does not support color schemes". Why is this? It would really look better with color schemes if i could use one.
[05:06] <Titan8990> aaronator: will require build-essentails and ncurses
[05:07] <botux> could someoen tell me how to find out that ip my samba server is usinfg on my ubuntu machine
[05:07] <aaronator> just to look at it?
[05:07] <aaronator> titan, thanks a ton, I will read up on what you gave me
[05:07] <stealth-> botux: ifconfig?
[05:07] <Iceman_B^Ltop> how do I unrar files from the commandline?
[05:07] <Lint01> unrar x -r archive file-mask
[05:07] <Titan8990> !kernel
[05:08] <zionpsyfer> Iceman_B^Ltop: install unrar, command is:  unrar e <filename>

[05:08] <edogzilla> hello. does anyone know how to get my epson stylus cx4800 printer/scanner to work in 8.04? xsane seems to be of no help at all cuz it doesnt recognize my printer
[05:08] <ynk> well, not sure if this is a down side to installing ubuntu inside windows, but.. i tried to access one of my internal hard drives from Hardy Heron when i was learning how to mount and unmount drives. next thing i know, the drive is WIPED CLEAN! i'm like wtf!! is that supposed to happen?
[05:09] <Lint01> ynk, can you boot into Windows and verify the damage?
[05:09] <Titan8990> aaronator: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile  look at "the old fashioned debian way"
[05:09] <ynk> Lint01, i am currently in windows.. unfortunately.
[05:09] <Titan8990> aaronator: make menuconfig   is the tui I am referring to
[05:09] <Titan8990> aaronator: you can use / to search in it
[05:09] <ynk> Lint01, it seems the only thing that didn't delete itself was ubuntu. -sigh-
[05:10] <botux> stealth: it doesnt show samba or does samba use the same ip as the machine?
[05:10] <aaronator> titan8990: thank you very much for the info, it is appreciated
[05:10] <Titan8990> aaronator: np
[05:10] <edogzilla>  does anyone know how to get my epson stylus cx4800 printer/scanner to work in 8.04? xsane seems to be of no help at all cuz it doesnt recognize my printer
[05:10] <Lint01> ynk, google some undeleting tools
[05:10] <stealth-> botux: i belive it should use the same ip as the machine
[05:10] <ynk> Lint01, i've learned my lesson. i'm going to install Hardy Heron or w/e else i decide along side Windows instead of inside of it.. and just not try to access my windows files while in another operating system.
[05:11] <mothdragon> Hi guys... i'm having trouble getting through to #c++ anybody here familiar enough with c++ programming and vectors to lend a hand?
[05:11] <stealth-> botux: i gave up on samba a while ago, so i might not be right, but i cant see any reason for samba to use a different ip
[05:11] <iceroot> mothdragon: wrong channel
[05:11] <mothdragon> i know... sorry
[05:11] <aaronator> i figured it would be as easy as finding a text file and looking in it
[05:11] <mothdragon> just hoping is all
[05:11] <ynk> Lint01, i think it'll be more trouble than it's worth to try recovering 30+ GBs of datas.
[05:11] <iceroot> mothdragon: you cant join #c++?
[05:12] <flip> hey guys is madwifi dead or somthing?
[05:12] <mothdragon> iceroot: no i keep getting booted saying overflow
[05:12] <ynk> *data
[05:12] <crankharder> where are my pidgin config files stored so I can blow them all away?
[05:12] <bopr> activating proprietary nvidia drivers in my ubuntu causes it to start up 10% of the time without locking up. Any ideas why?
[05:12] <iceroot> mothdragon: hm ok
[05:12] <Titan8990> flip, kinda its now ath5k
[05:12] <wahnfrieden> hi
[05:12] <Titan8990> flip, and ath9k (beta)
[05:12] <wahnfrieden> i need to run an ubuntu server virtualized instance on this windows machine
[05:12] <flip> Titan8990,  can you help me install an atheros using that?
[05:13] <wahnfrieden> how many GB do I need, approximately?
[05:13] <wahnfrieden> of hd space
[05:13] <Titan8990> flip, I still use madwifi
[05:13] <Titan8990> flip, for injection patch
[05:13] <iceroot> wahnfrieden: depending on what you need on ubuntu
[05:13] <flip> the download link to my driver is dead Titan8990  and i cant find it anywhere
[05:13] <Im_Toast> !help gksudo
[05:13] <Im_Toast> !gksudo
[05:13] <Titan8990> !wireless
[05:13] <wahnfrieden> iceroot not much. just to run a web server, with python/django etc
[05:13] <iceroot> wahnfrieden: normally virtualbox is using a dynamic size for hdd
[05:13] <Im_Toast> ah graphical sudo
[05:14] <wahnfrieden> iceroot I ask because I don't have much space free
[05:14] <mbrush> Ok, I've spent the last 2 hours scouring google with many many hits but no fixes, I cannot get audio in Flash.  It took several hours of playing around to get any sound in anything (vlc).  I'm using jaunty that i downloaded a two or three days ago to see how it's coming.  I'm running XFCE.  Anyone have any hints?
[05:14] <twois10> paste!
[05:14] <iceroot> wahnfrieden: 5gb should be the absolut maximum that will need
[05:14] <zionpsyfer> Looking for some help pictures off of a camera or external reader. neither of my external card readers work, camera(rebel xt) isn't recognized.  Suspect udev/hal   /var/log/messages-> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/146662/
[05:14] <wahnfrieden> oh, great
[05:14] <wahnfrieden> thanks
[05:14] <iceroot> wahnfrieden: ubunru + apache and so on
[05:14] <ynk> Lint01, would you recommend simply going to Intrepid or sticky with Hardy Heron a while longer?
[05:14] <ynk> *sticking
[05:14] <wahnfrieden> should i use normal ubuntu, or ubuntu server?
[05:14] <iceroot> ynk: never touch a running system, also 8.04 is LTS
[05:15] <botux> im trying to mount a samba share so i can see it on my windows box can someone assist
[05:15] <Titan8990> flip, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros
[05:15] <wahnfrieden> also - does it run reasonably well in virtualbox? this is just a 1.8GHz Atom CPU, 2gb ram. not that great
[05:15] <flip> yes im already there
[05:15] <iceroot> wahnfrieden: you need a gui?
[05:15] <Im_Toast> Is Hardy Heron 8.04?
[05:15] <iceroot> Im_Toast: yes
[05:15] <stealth-_> !hardy | Im_Toast
[05:15] <ynk> iceroot, thanks for the tip, buddy.
[05:16] <flip> although it'd prob be easier if you just explained it >.,
[05:16] <stealth-_> Im_Toast: for future reference, you can msg ubottu with factoids and he can answer you in a private message, so your not messaging in the channel
[05:16] <wahnfrieden> iceroot I'm newish to linux so it would probably help. Maybe just something minimal - xfce or something
[05:16] <botux> stealth: im having issues mounting a share do you know how
[05:16] <ynk> iceroot, that doesn't really answer my question though.. LTS means it'll be around a while longer, but what does that make of Intrepid? do the releases become LTS after a while..? i'm not even quite sure how that works.
[05:16] <iceroot> wahnfrieden: try xubuntu
[05:17] <Titan8990> flip, I told you, i haven't set up ath5/9k drivers, i still use madwifi
[05:17] <iceroot> !lts | ynk
[05:17] <wahnfrieden> oh, awesome. thanks
[05:17] <stealth-_> botux: sorry, i gave up on samba a while ago, to much trouble, this might help you, though, one sec
[05:17] <iceroot> ynk: so 8.10 will never get lts
[05:17] <stealth-_> !samba | botux
[05:17] <dumb_dumb> guys how to install serial port on xen with ubuntu server
[05:17] <iceroot> wahnfrieden: its ubuntu with xfce4
[05:17] <twois10>  I get the following boot error, i need help understanding this: http://paste.linuxassist.net/214197
[05:17] <wahnfrieden> thanks
[05:18] <botux> i have my windows shares mounted i need help mounting my ubuntu shares
[05:18] <ynk> iceroot, ah very interesting. so Intrepid will be outdated before Hardy Heron..? (can you tell i love using their nicknames? lol)
[05:18] <Titan8990> twois10: did you enable kernel debugging?
[05:18] <asdf_n00b> Does anyone know whats up with those two weird characters that come after the path when you drag a file into the command line?
[05:18] <iceroot> ynk: yes, 8.10 will be outdated before 8.04
[05:18] <twois10> Titan8990, no
[05:19] <iceroot> ynk: so if 8.04 is running for you, why change to 8.10?
[05:19] <Im_Toast> I just got 8.10 because that's what unetbootin automatically downloaded for me =P
[05:19] <cj_sze> guys... where can i find the inittab file of ubuntu? thanks
[05:19] <ynk> iceroot, i like your logical. makes sense. 'if it ain't broke..'
[05:19] <asdf_n00b> I can't copy them here they show up blank, but they're like squares with some weird writing in them..  It's annoying cause I'm building this database and have to delete the two characters at the end of each path
[05:19] <iceroot> ynk: yes :) never touch a running system
[05:20] <ynk> iceroot, yes sir. never again!
[05:20] <Iceman_B^Ltop> the sole reason I'm running 8.10 is because it's awesome codename ^_^
[05:20] <iceroot> Iceman_B^Ltop: i cant pronounce it :(
[05:20] <Iceman_B^Ltop> (well, and I left the 8.04 discs at my parents, so why not burn the latest)
[05:20] <Iceman_B^Ltop> iceroot: the intrepid part or the ibex part?
[05:21] <iceroot> Iceman_B^Ltop: intrepid
[05:21] <Iceman_B^Ltop> haha, tell me thats a joke
[05:21] <iceroot> Iceman_B^Ltop: sounds strange for me (german)
[05:21] <Iceman_B^Ltop> ...im dutch
[05:21] <Iceman_B^Ltop> its not hard :)
[05:21] <iceroot> Iceman_B^Ltop: but also not nice :)
[05:21] <lacqui> is there an easy way to fix dependencies on about 300 packages?
[05:21] <stealth-_> asdf_n00b: im not getting that effect...
[05:21] <Iceman_B^Ltop> german makes everything sound sinister, and therefore awesome =)
[05:21] <ynk> i wonder if i can unallocate space from one of my HDDs to be used by Hardy Heron for dual booting (..as opposed to an installation inside windows)..
[05:21] <bosco> how do i change a {.dbi} to iso and make it bootable???????
[05:22] <mike_S> hi
[05:22] <botux> smbserver
[05:22] <aaronator> i am just trying to patch iwlagn and am on the preparing the kernel step
[05:22] <stealth-_> !hi | mike_S
[05:22] <asdf_n00b> stealth..  really?  what version are you using. not that I'd see it making a difference but you never know
[05:23] <iceroot> Iceman_B^Ltop: also its easier for say the version like 8.04 instead of the name. e.g. i dont know the version of dapper drake and all the other names
[05:23] <asdf_n00b> oh stealth nvm..  It actually doesnt happen in terminal.. happens in like..  paths in other Software
[05:23] <stealth-_> asdf_n00b: well, if i understand you right, what your doing is grabbing a file and dragging it into the terminal, and when I did that i got the file location with ' around it.
[05:23] <stealth-_> asdf_n00b: ah, file a bug report maybe?
[05:23] <iceroot> stealth-_: its normal
[05:24] <stealth-_> iceroot: why does it happen?
[05:24] <asdf_n00b> What's its purpose though?
[05:24] <iceroot> stealth-_: because of whitespace and so on
[05:24] <mike_S> if there are spaces in the filepath
[05:24] <stealth-_> ah
[05:24] <asdf_n00b> hunh..  but the path doesn't work with those extra 2 characters though
[05:24] <iceroot> stealth-_: your file.jpg or 'your file.jpg'
[05:24] <Iceman_B^Ltop> iceroot: pm
[05:25] <stealth-_> iceroot: what about them?
[05:25] <stealth-_> iceroot: your refering to the spaces?
[05:25] <stealth-_> iceroot: never mind i ask quests before i think about them....
[05:26] <stealth-_> iceroot: lol
[05:26] <mike_S> lol
[05:28] <mattgyver83> Is it possible to map a USB storage device as a network drive and still unmount it?
[05:28] <stealth-_> does anyone have any questions???
[05:28] <botux> when mounting samba shares im getting mount error 112 = Host is down
[05:28] <botux>  any ideas why
[05:28] <stealth-_> there we go
[05:29] <stealth-_> botux: can you ping the host to actually confirm its up and has a samba port open?
[05:29] <ron20101> help me resolve usb mouse issue in virtualbox
[05:29] <botux> stealth: just ping localhost?
[05:29] <stealth-_> ron20101: explain your question, if someone knows the answer, they will answer you
[05:29] <ron20101> ic
[05:30] <stealth-_> botux: your trying to mount a samba share on your own machine?
[05:30] <ron20101> ok... in virtualbox 2.1.4 i cant get usb mouse to detect in windows
[05:30] <botux> stealth: dont i have to to get it to show up on my windows box
[05:30] <ron20101> i have ubuntu ibex as my host
[05:30] <aaronator_> I am trying to patch iwlagn and am on the step of preparing the kernel, how can i see if my kernel config contains the listed options?
[05:31] <stealth-_> botux: um... Im either way more unfamiliar with samba than i thought, or your doing something wrong..
[05:31] <thahauss> Can someone please advise the best program that will allow me to format a slaved drive in ubuntu 9.04?
[05:31] <stealth-_> botux: your trying to mount a samba share on the same machine its hosted so you can access it from another machine?
[05:32] <botux> stealth: right
[05:32] <iceroot> thahauss: there is no best, but try gparted
[05:32] <botux> stealth: am i goofy
[05:32] <stealth-_> botux: is this involving any VM's?
[05:32] <Mocs> Does anyone know anything about Ultima Online free shard servers?
[05:32] <botux> stealth: whats vm
[05:32] <stealth-_> botux: i dont know, im not very familiar with samba, but it sounds wierd to me
[05:32] <thahauss> Iceman_B^Ltop, TY ice will do
[05:32] <stealth-_> botux: virtual machine. it lets you run a computer inside a computer... kinda
[05:33] <botux> stealth: no vm's
[05:33] <botux> Stealth separate machine
[05:33] <Mocs> Reason I ask, I am thinking of setting one up, don't know which one will run best on Ubuntu 8.10
[05:33] <stealth-_> botux: are you following a tutorial or something?
[05:33] <botux> stealth: no
[05:34] <stealth-_> botux: i would probably advise that, cause past that i cant really help much. Sorry :(
[05:34] <botux> stealth: i tried reading the howtos but they are like greek to me i dont understand them
[05:34] <stealth-_> botux: maybe someone else here has more experience with samba, but i gave up in frustration with it.....
[05:34] <stealth-_> botux: did you try the ones i gave you earlier?
[05:35] <pr0t0c0n> i have a question , is it possible to run multiple programs while in console mode
[05:35] <Mocs> samba is a strange animal... I got it to work once, but not without much struggle...
[05:35] <stealth-_> pr0t0c0n: console mode? you mean no GUI?
[05:35] <pr0t0c0n> yea
[05:35] <Mocs> pr0t: yeah, use different terminals... <alt>1 <alt>2
[05:35] <Mocs> pr0t: or run them in background
[05:36] <stealth-_> pr0t0c0n: then yes, just move over to a different terminal or use screen. ctrl+alt+F# where # is a terminal number
[05:36] <stealth-_> !screen | pr0t0c0n
[05:36] <pr0t0c0n> ok thnx ok thnx
[05:36] <pr0t0c0n> srry
[05:36] <stealth-_> pr0t0c0n: id advise using different terminals though, screen is a bit harder to figure out
[05:37] <Mocs> pr0t: don't be sorry... asking is the only way to learn
[05:37] <botux> stealth: i used the ones you gave me
[05:37] <pr0t0c0n> so i just type alt#1 while in the console ?
[05:37] <gauravkittz> i have to type modprobe ath5k on startup every time to get my wifi on
[05:37] <stealth-> pr0t0c0n: no
[05:38] <gauravkittz> is ther any other way
[05:38] <Mocs> pr0t: alt f1... alt f2
[05:38] <stealth-> pr0t0c0n: press the buttons: ctrl+alt+F# where # is a number of a terminal
[05:38] <stealth-> Mocs: you dont need to press ctrl?
[05:38] <Mocs> stealth: nope
[05:38] <juanefren> HOw do I share a folder using command line ? (ubuntu server)
[05:38] <stealth-> Mocs: huh. good to know.
[05:38] <pr0t0c0n> ok let me try brb
[05:38] <Mocs> stealth: just did it... ubuntu box is next to this one...
[05:39] <stealth-> Mocs: yeah, ctrl is only nessesary if leaving GUI. Thanks for the tip
[05:39] <sombir> help on ubuntu ??
[05:39] <stealth-> sombir: this is the ubuntu support channel, yes.

[05:59] <leoXsys> botux: What is the problem?
[05:59] <flip> Okay guys i have a major problem its not really that big of deal just rather annoying when i open a window then try to click to another window it wont let me i have to actually minimize the other window for example im on xchat now and i have a terminal open when i switch to terminal then try to click the xchat window it wont let me click the it
[05:59] <cj_sze> leoXsys: thanks i will check that
[05:59] <leoXsys> sombir: Ubuntu 9.04 final would be out on 23rd April, 2009, But you can enjoy the BETA Version
[05:59] <botux> leoXsys: im trying to see my shares from my ubuntu machine on my vista box
[06:00] <Im_Toast> What is the next lts version?
[06:00] <aaronator_> in reference to the kernel config, what does [M] mean?
[06:00] <aaronator_> [M] and [*]
[06:01] <leoXsys> Im_Toast: Every two yer, So 8.04 was in 2008/4, so next would be in 2010/4 i guess :)
[06:01] <leoXsys> aaronator_: [M] means module, Kernel will build the module for that one which you can insert later after booting the kernel :)
[06:01] <borgista> "   	 	 	 	 	 	   A central wisdom peers within a doubtless sunshine.  "
[06:02] <botux> leoXsys: im having all kinds of trouble
[06:02] <leoXsys> botux: How you are trying?
[06:03] <CompCrash> anyone one else have issues with the update manager?
[06:03] <leoXsys> botux: On Desktop, Go-to -> Places -> Netwrok
[06:03] <aaronator_> leoxsys: thanks, i am trying to patch iwlagn and part of the process is ensuring my kernel config contains certain options, how can i do this?
[06:04] <CompCrash> the password confirmation doesnt come up
[06:04] <leoXsys> Commo-work: I think, it will not come up, It will only come while you will do any up gradation...
[06:05] <sYskk> what is a good tool for visualizing disk usage ? ps: I don't have a GUI on my ubuntu box, so Id like something that would work remotely
[06:05] <leoXsys> aaronator_: Yes, you can do it as [M], then maker sure it get loaded while booting.
[06:05] <lstarnes> CompCrash: unless it is updating something or checking for new updates it won't need administrative permissions
[06:05] <flip> Okay guys i have a major problem its not really that big of deal just rather annoying when i open a window then try to click to another window it wont let me i have to actually minimize the other window for example im on xchat now and i have a terminal open when i switch to terminal then try to click the xchat window it wont let me click the it  no i donot have always ontop option set
[06:05] <CompCrash> it always asks
[06:05] <aaronator_> leoxsys: i havent a clue as to how to do that.  can you give me a link to somewhere that explains this?
[06:06] <lstarnes> CompCrash: if you used something else that required administrative permissions within a few minutes of running the update manager, it might not ask for a password
[06:06] <CompCrash> and the window doesnt come and then there is no updates
[06:06] <unko> hey guys. i have a simple question. my monitor can go up too 100 hz but it won't let me go past 60 hz how can i override it so i can get it to 75 hz??????
[06:06] <botux> leoXsys: ok im there
[06:06] <leoXsys> aaronator_: Wait a minute...
[06:06] <flip> Okay guys i have a major problem its not really that big of deal just rather annoying when i open a window then try to click to another window it wont let me i have to actually minimize the other window for example im on xchat now and i have a terminal open when i switch to terminal then try to click the xchat window it wont let me click the it  no i donot have always ontop option set
[06:07] <aaronator_> leoxsys: also i believe the kconfig i need to alter is located at /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.27-11-generic/net/wireless . is this the correct kconfig to alter?
[06:07] <leoXsys> botux: So, it has detected the the machine, which is part of the network?
[06:07] <botux> yes
[06:07] <leoXsys> aaronator_: Yes, I think so, where is the source located?
[06:08] <leoXsys> botux: Can you see your Visa machine?
[06:08] <aaronator_> leoxsys: source?
[06:08] <botux> leoXsys: yes its there and when i click on it it says unable to mount
[06:09] <leoXsys> aaronator_: Source of the Kernel?
[06:09] <leoXsys> botux: Or driver?
[06:09] <leoXsys> botux: Ok...Hmm...
[06:09] <aaronator_> leoxsys: i dont know..... sorry i am a noob
[06:09] <botux> leoXsys whats Or driver?
[06:09] <leoXsys> aaronator_: ok...

[06:10] <botux> leoXsys: im on 8.10
[06:10] <leoXsys> Ok

[06:11] <unko> hey guys. i have a simple question. my monitor can go up too 100 hz but it won't let me go past 60 hz how can i override it so i can get it to 75 hz??????
[06:12] <leoXsys> botux: Can you install / check NTFS support with 8.10, or just do sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g on CLI
[06:12] <pan__> mc(midnight commander) do not work well in the screen session,anyone can help me ?

[06:14] <pan__> mc work well,but do not work well in a screen session
[06:14] <aaronator_> leoxsys: ok thank you. just to be sure - I have to actually modifiy the kernel to get tthis driver patched??
[06:14] <pan__> the table line is not aligned
[06:14] <leoXsys> aaronator_: Yes, I can understand, it will help.
[06:15] <aaronator_> leoxsys: thanks a lot sir.  you are a gret help
[06:15] <leoXsys> spaceBARbarian: By default Ubuntu is supporting, You want something with high compression ratio?
[06:15] <pan__> mc(midnight commander) work well,but it do not work well in a screen session:the table line is not aligned
[06:16] <spaceBARbarian> leoXsys: no i am just trying to extract a .rar and i get unsupported archive
[06:16] <botux> leoXsys: it says its already on here where is it normally?
[06:17] <ruben231> hi does ekiga support g729 codec..?
[06:18] <leoXsys> botux: Hmm....
[06:18] <leoXsys> botux: Means, it's already installed.
[06:18] <botux> leoXsys: right but idunno how to access it
[06:21] <k1en> hi, live cd will not boot on my pc (8.10) after the "try without changes to your computer" it just goes black
[06:21] <Ketrel> I installed Ubuntu on a laptop and I can get wireless to work at all
[06:21] <Ketrel> from the GUI
[06:21] <Ketrel> I can do it with iwconfig and dhclient
[06:22] <raylu> Ketrel: did you just install the wireless drivers? or did you never do that yourself?
[06:22] <Ketrel> Fresh install
[06:22] <Ketrel> installed nothing yet
[06:22] <raylu> Ketrel: try restarting network manager. sudo invoke-rc.d NetworkManger restart
[06:23] <Ketrel> raylu: ok, from there, what do I do to add a wireless network to it?
[06:23] <raylu> Ketrel: m... when you connect to one, i think it automatically creates one.
[06:23] <Ketrel> connect to one HOW
[06:23] <raylu> Ketrel: you can also right-click for a different menu than the left-click one
[06:23] <raylu> Ketrel: left-click on ti
[06:24] <raylu> Ketrel: *it
[06:24] <Ketrel> so it won't detect networks?
[06:24] <Ketrel> I'd always have to manually enter the ssid?
[06:24] <raylu> Ketrel: oh, sometimes right after it starts it takes a bit to get the network list
[06:24] <raylu> Ketrel: you can prod it with "sudo iwlist scan"
[06:24] <botux> leoXsys: any ideas?
[06:25] <Ketrel> raylu I'm trying to give this to someone who has no idea how to use command line
[06:25] <leoXsys> botux: I am thinking...
[06:25] <botux> leoXsys: sorry
[06:25] <leoXsys> botux: It's ok.
[06:25] <Ketrel> raylu anyways: 'wlan0 interface doesn't support scanning : network is down'
[06:26] <raylu> Ketrel: oh fun. i never did figure out what that error meant
[06:26] <raylu> Ketrel: perhaps your wireless card isn't switched on?
[06:26] <Ketrel> raylu: then using iwconfig and dhclient wouldn't work would it
[06:26] <raylu> Ketrel: dhclient connects to the network properly?
[06:27] <thedarkone> hello
[06:27] <Ketrel> yes, I said that at the beginning, GUI isn't working, but command line is
[06:27] <thedarkone> my menu.lst went blank any way to fix it
[06:27] <leoXsys> botux: I have not tried using SAMBA, But i am checking support...
[06:27] <raylu> thedarkone: update-grub
[06:27] <zionpsyfer> Ketrel:  wicd? seems to fix those issues, not sure if we're allowed to recommend though.
[06:28] <thedarkone> how raylu
[06:28] <botux> leoXsys: ok just so you know i mapped the vist shares on my desktop so that part is good i juts cant see the samba shares on my vista machine
[06:28] <Ketrel> ok, it just stopped working >.<
[06:28] <xim_> is there an easy way in ubuntu to print a large image that is multiple pages, like a banner, in chunks on seperate pages that you could tape together?  without manually cutting up the image in gimp
[06:28] <Ketrel> since there is no manual switch on it, is there any way to enable the card if it was off?
[06:28] <leoXsys> botux: Ohhh!!!!
[06:29] <leoXsys> botux: My bad time :(
[06:29] <botux> leoXsys: sorry i didnt think i explained that right the first time
[06:29] <raylu> thedarkone: that's the name of a command. run it
[06:30] <leoXsys> botux: It's ok, Mistake makes the man perfect :)
[06:30] <raylu> Ketrel: is it like a fn+[random key] switch?
[06:30] <botux> leoXsys: lol right
[06:30] <raylu> apropos makes man perfect
[06:30] <thedarkone> i hit c and put that in i get error 27
[06:30] <raylu> thedarkone: who are you talking to?
[06:30] <thedarkone> unrecognized command
[06:30] <thedarkone> u raylu
[06:31] <raylu> thedarkone: oh. please put my name in front. why'd you hit c?
[06:31] <ubuntu__> anyone in here using 9.04 beta? I having some issues being able to log into X after install ati drivers
[06:31] <raylu> !jaunty | ubuntu__
[06:31] <thedarkone> raylu when i boot only thing that comes up in grub is memtest86+
[06:32] <Ketrel> raylu: yes, but I haven't added anything for keyboard so I'd assume it'd have no effect
[06:32] <dye_bc> uvdgadhd
[06:32] <thedarkone> raylu i hit c for command line
[06:32] <dye_bc> ;jasd;jadf
[06:32] <dye_bc> pajoawfoiha
[06:32] <dye_bc> ojsdf;onasd;fasd
[06:32] <leoXsys> botux: Check this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=912814
[06:32] <raylu> thedarkone: oh. i thought you had already booted. is the problem you can't boot?
[06:32] <dye_bc> pojifojfoiqw wefoijqw ohfvgq
[06:32] <thedarkone> raylu yes
[06:32] <dye_bc> nak mna    ?"
[06:32] <raylu> Ketrel: actually, on most laptops, that's handled by hardware
[06:32] <thedarkone> raylu can not boot
[06:32] <raylu> Ketrel: fn+[random key for touchpad] is like that too. try pressing it and running "sudo dmesg | tail"
[06:33] <raylu> thedarkone: do you have a livecd/liveusb/etc. available?
[06:33] <Ketrel> raylu: nope, it's not on this, I just tried enabling scroll lock which is a fn+key but no effect
[06:33] <thedarkone> not here
[06:33] <raylu> thedarkone: that's going to be kinda difficult then.
[06:34] <thedarkone> raylu when i get a live cd what should i do
[06:34] <rwparris2> is there a good small image editor for ubuntu?  not gimp, I want something more like the online app picnik, except for the desktop
[06:34] <raylu> thedarkone: i would just re-install grub using one of the various guides. personally, that means mount the linux install and use "grub-install /dev/sd[whatever] --root-directory=[mount point]"
[06:35] <raylu> rwparris2: by small, you mean like mspaint?
[06:35] <rwparris2> yes
[06:35] <raylu> Ketrel: but that's not handled by hardware. or rather, it is but it's passed as a key to software
[06:35] <raylu> rwparris2: tuxpaint. also a few others. aptitude search paint
[06:36] <CompCrash> what do i use in the terminal to install updates
[06:36] <botux> leoXsys: that all you found?
[06:36] <lstarnes> CompCrash: sudo apt-get upgrade
[06:36] <raylu> thedarkone: on the other hand, do you know when you last upgraded your kernel?
[06:36] <leoXsys> botux: Yes :(
[06:36] <lstarnes> CompCrash: prior to doing that, you may need to do sudo apt-get update
[06:36] <raylu> thedarkone: or the kernel version :D
[06:36] <raylu> CompCrash: apt-get or aptitude?
[06:37] <Ketrel> raylu I've tried it with no luck, is there anything else I could try? (It's a Dell Latitude D600 and I already tried modprobing ndiswrapper)
[06:37] <CompCrash> mikenot
[06:37] <botux> leoXsys: thanks for helping ill chekc that out
[06:37] <CompCrash> wrong chat
[06:37] <leoXsys> botux: Sorry, I am also newbie...
[06:37] <raylu> Ketrel: er, what wireless card? latitudes use intel chipsets which are well support by iwl, i thought
[06:38] <CompCrash> i did aptitude and it only found them but not install
[06:38] <raylu> CompCrash: sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
[06:38] <botux> leoXsys: its ok lol i think with linux everyone is a newbie theres always something to learn
[06:38] <raylu> CompCrash: or safe-upgrade, if you prefer
[06:38] <Ketrel> raylu: I'm not sure how to check
[06:39] <raylu> Ketrel: lspci
[06:39] <CompCrash> i'm sick of the update manager or synaptic package manager not working right
[06:39] <Ketrel> frak, it's a broadcom
[06:39] <CompCrash> since 8.10 they dont always work
[06:40] <raylu> Ketrel: lspci -v will show the modules its using
[06:40] <raylu> Ketrel: which would be useful :D
[06:41] <Ketrel> Broadcom Corporation BCM4309 802.11a/b/g (rev 03)
[06:41] <spaceBARbarian> is there any program i can use to install microsoft office in ubuntu ?
[06:41] <jomo2010> anybody know how to change background color to workspace switcher area?
[06:41] <raylu> botux, leoXsys: there's no need for ntfs support
[06:41] <FiReSTaRT> does anyone know a way to open pdf 1.7 documents in ubuntu?
[06:41] <raylu> botux: but samba is basically a pain. try "smbclient -L"
[06:41] <scunizi> spaceBARbarian: what do you need there that openoffice doesn't do?
[06:42] <FiReSTaRT> other than downloading the acrobat binary
[06:42] <coolmadmax> spaceBARbarian use openoffice 3.0
[06:42] <raylu> FiReSTaRT: can you give me a pdf 1.7 document?
[06:42] <raylu> Ketrel: and the module
[06:42] <raylu> ?
[06:42] <FiReSTaRT> raylu: sure.. ill give u a link
[06:42] <spaceBARbarian> scunizi: i am too used to msoffice, dont feel like switching
[06:42] <dffsd> anyone good with c++ here?
[06:43] <raylu> spaceBARbarian: but you feel like switching your entire OS?
[06:43] <raylu> dffsd: wrong channel for that
[06:43] <dffsd> #ubuntu-programming is of no help
[06:43] <brunner> what's the command for that curses kernel configuration tool?
[06:43] <Ketrel> raylu: I think it's ssb
[06:43] <raylu> dffsd: there's probably #c++. what do you need?
[06:43] <_motti__> hi guys. where can I ask/suggest a feature for the next ubuntu release?
[06:43] <dffsd> i need help wiith run-time type identification
[06:43] <botux> raylu: its asking for parameters
[06:44] <raylu> botux: do you know the hostname/ip of the machine that has the files shared?
[06:44] <FiReSTaRT> raylu : link sent via pm
[06:44] <raylu> _motti__: file a bugreport and mark it as feature
[06:44] <raylu> FiReSTaRT: as far as i can tell, that's a pdf telling you you need a newer pdf reader
[06:44] <scunizi> spaceBARbarian: I've used both for years and don't find many things that oo won't do.. menu's are close and unless you're using a lot of the higher functions it's hardly worth running office in wine... if the version you have will work
[06:44] <botux> raylu: its my ubuntu machine which im on
[06:45] <raylu> botux: oh. then why do you need samba? smbclient -L localhost
[06:45] <Ketrel> raylu: kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge (if that's what you wanted)
[06:45] <raylu> Ketrel: yeah...
[06:45] <raylu> Ketrel: things starting with b43 usually involve pain
[06:45] <_motti__> raylu, is it for real? there is no "formal" way for the community to toss around ideas?
[06:45] <raylu> _motti__: #ubuntu-dev
[06:45] <FiReSTaRT> raylu: that's because document viewer/OOo can only open pdf 1.4... pdf 1.7 is relatively new
[06:45] <scunizi> spaceBARbarian: actually abiword is a breath of fresh air.. fast, lean and very functional..
[06:46] <raylu> _motti__: and yes, for real. there are thousands of bugs and feature requests. dealing with them all at once in the form of chat is not productive
[06:46] <Ketrel> raylu is there anything I could do in that case
[06:46] <botux> raylu: because i wanna see my ubuntu shares on my vvista box
[06:46] <raylu> FiReSTaRT: there is no reason evince or whatever linux pdf reader you are using would tell you to go visit the adobe website
[06:46] <FiReSTaRT> raylu: i could install the acrobat but i'd like to see if OOo or Document Viewer can be patched to open that format
[06:46] <raylu> botux: who uses the vista box? to avoid pain, i'd recommend getting an sftp/scp client on the vista box
[06:47] <botux> raylu: i just got Connection to localhost failed (Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME)
[06:47] <raylu> Ketrel: i've never gotten a broadcom car fully working
[06:47] <spaceBARbarian> scunizi: i do use a lot of higher functions, including visio and equations etc
[06:47] <FiReSTaRT> raylu: there is if the document contains some embedded binary crap that they can't open
[06:47] <raylu> Ketrel: *card. i've gotten bits and pieces of connectivity at best
[06:47] <botux> raylu when i used the command you sent me
[06:47] <Ketrel> damn, that's not good :(
[06:47] <raylu> FiReSTaRT: not... really. what are you trying to view ont hat website
[06:47] <spaceBARbarian> scunizi: is there anything other than crossover that is known to run office ?
[06:47] <Sir_Brizz> does anyone know how to get audio working properly on a laptop? I have muted the sound from the ubuntu menu but it still plays the boot sound and sounds for pidgin
[06:47] <Sir_Brizz> \it's really annoying
[06:47] <scunizi> FiReSTaRT: Doc Viewer should (which is evince) .. also scribus will, and possibly xpdf
[06:47] <raylu> botux: i have no idea, sorry. can you answer my earlier question?
[06:48] <_motti__> raylu, I'm sure of that. But filing a bug is like entering through the next door. Isn't there an equivalent for bug report in the features field?
[06:48] <botux> raylu: which one lol
[06:48] <raylu> _motti__: yes... technically, the 'bug tracker' is an issue tracker
[06:48] <raylu> _motti__: and issues include feature requests
[06:48] <FiReSTaRT> scunizi: it doesn't though.. i downloaded the file tried to open it both with evince and OOo, same crap
[06:48] <raylu> botux:  1:46:56       raylu> botux: who uses the vista box? to avoid pain, i'd recommend getting an sftp/scp client on the vista box
[06:48] <scunizi> spaceBARbarian: just straight wine should depending on the version.. if you really use a lot of visio stuff maybe running office in a VM of windows
[06:49] <syntax\> lo, how can i add a network printer in ubuntu? same goes with a dot matrix printer?
[06:49] <scunizi> FiReSTaRT: have you tried xpdf?
[06:49] <FiReSTaRT> scunizi: http://www.torontopolice.on.ca/aps/tps664.pdf
[06:49] <FiReSTaRT> ill give it a shot
[06:49] <botux> raylu: lol oh i do and i want to be able to share my music and video files between the 2
[06:49] <Ketrel> raylu: is there any way to get it to work? This kinda throws a wrench in my plans for a bday gift
[06:49] <mudit> hi, i am trying to convert a file in ffmpeg, i get this error >> Unknown codec libmp3lame
[06:49] <botux> whats an sftp/scp client
[06:49] <Sir_Brizz> botux: can't you use samba?
[06:50] <raylu> botux: then, to avoid pain, i'd recommend getting an sftp/scp client for vista. filezilla and winscp are good choices
[06:50] <raylu> botux: then, simply set up openssh-server (read: install and you're done)
[06:50] <botux> Sir_Brizz: if it would work
[06:50] <raylu> Sir_Brizz: he can, but he's having trouble setting it up. and i've never gotten that working faster than scp
[06:50] <FiReSTaRT> scunizi: same problem with xpdf
[06:51] <Sir_Brizz> yeah but it sounds like he wants to mount it on Vista, not just copy files around
[06:51] <_motti__> raylu, I went to the bug tracker website and they don't mention the feature asking as an option
[06:51] <raylu> scunizi: as far as i can tell, it's actually a pdf that tells you to go get adobe acrobat, not an app-generated error message
[06:51] <botux> Sir_Brizz: i cant see the samba shares on my vista box
[06:51] <raylu> scunizi: http://www.torontopolice.on.ca/aps/tps664.pdf
[06:51] <botux> Siir_Brizz: Bingo sir
[06:51] <raylu> Sir_Brizz: have you ever gotten samba working?
[06:52] <Sir_Brizz> I haven't tried to set it up dfor a while
[06:52] <raylu> Ketrel: i'm sure it's _possible_
[06:52] <scunizi> raylu: yea.. strange. I've downloaded it and I'm trying scribus...
[06:52] <scunizi> FiReSTaRT: yea.. just found that out
[06:52] <scunizi> FiReSTaRT: installing scribus now.
[06:52] <Ketrel> raylu: is there anywhere with a tutorial?
[06:53] <pace_t_zulu> hey guys i'm looking for someone who can help me with the community documentation
[06:53] <botux> Sir_Brizz: all of the howtos are like greek to me'
[06:53] <Doitle> Anyone here ever read from hardware RTC in Linux?
[06:53] <FiReSTaRT> im installing libgnupdf0 it should have pdf 1.7 support
[06:53] <pace_t_zulu> anyone here involved in community documentation?
[06:53] <bobgill_> how do I copy the file that a symbolic link is pointing to??
[06:54] <raylu> !wifi | Ketrel
[06:55] <_motti__> ok, thanks
[06:55] <Sir_Brizz> botux: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba
[06:56] <scunizi> FiReSTaRT: raylu got it.. Adobereader 8 from the medibuntu repo's opens it fine.
[06:56] <raylu> scunizi: strange... perhaps that's a feature of pdfs - to show that message
[06:56] <scunizi> raylu: first time I've even seen that.
[06:57] <FiReSTaRT> scunizi: i know.. i was hoping to avoid installing it.. always found it to be a resource-hog
[06:57] <raylu> adobe reader is software i avoid even in windows =\
[06:57] <FiReSTaRT> scunizi: thanks.. i guess ill be forced to install it and then remove it :)
[06:57] <raylu> bobgill_: it happens transparently, that's the point
[06:57] <KoolD> how do i remove an application previously installed with 'make-install'
[06:57] <raylu> KoolD: you mean 'make install'?
[06:57] <scunizi> FiReSTaRT: yea.. I hate doing that too
[06:58] <KoolD> yup
[06:58] <raylu> KoolD: some makefiles have uninstall, so "make uninstall"
[06:58] <mudit> relaxed: there is no package as lame-dev !
[06:58] <rrowell> so FloodBot is aking over it looks like?
[06:58] <Doitle> if I have a directory too big to see the entire ls in a terminal window is there any way I can set it to feed a page at a time like less
[06:58] <Doitle> I tried less ls -l and it didnt work
[06:58] <raylu> Doitle: shift+pageup
[06:58] <FiReSTaRT> scunizi: ah well.. in any case i'll be doing a clean install of jaunty in case there's any left-over crap :P
[06:58] <raylu> Doitle: ls | less
[06:58] <KoolD> raylu: so there is no way if they dont have uninstall
[06:59] <raylu> KoolD: correct. you could rm them... manually...
[06:59] <bobgill_> raylu: what do you mean? I have filenames that are all numbers (date/times) with symbolic links in another folder where they are named and identifiable.. I want to be in this folder, seeing the names and copying the files..
[06:59] <scunizi> FiReSTaRT: me too.. my last upgrade didn't go so smooth.. still ironing out weirdness.
[06:59] <botux> Sir_Bizz: how do i figure out what ip address my samba server is using?
[06:59] <KoolD> raylu: eh.. thanks
[06:59] <FiReSTaRT> scunizi: mine went to crap half-way through the life of hardy.. lost the ability to suspend
[06:59] <raylu> bobgill_: you have symlinks that are human-readable pointing to a bunch of numerical filenames
[06:59] <scunizi> botux: it's the same as your machine running it.
[06:59] <Ketrel> raylu: of course the links that mention b43 are not working >.<
[06:59] <Sir_Brizz> botux: it is your computer's ip address, you can see it in ifconfig
[06:59] <bobgill_> raylu: yup
[07:00] <AK_Dave> Jaunty is pissing me off. The WorkplaceSwitcherApplet won't appear. According to gconf_editor I have ~20 instances of it on the top panel but none of them show.
[07:00] <FiReSTaRT> scunizi: i'm hoping jaunty will fix that and the nvidia hdmi sound streaming issue
[07:00] <raylu> bobgill_: and you want to copy some of the files, identifying by their human readable names, but with the original numeric file names?
[07:00] <botux> Sir_Brizz: should it be listed there when i run that command
[07:01] <Sir_Brizz> yeah
[07:01] <Doitle> Also how do I add to my paths file and not overwrite it?
[07:01] <Sir_Brizz> there is some way to look inside gnome, but I'm completely inept at it :)
[07:01] <scunizi> FiReSTaRT: that would be nice.. I put a new motherboard in my machine in Dec with hdmi and haven't tried it yet.. however to install and to continue to boot  I have to have pci=nomsi on the kernel line
[07:01] <XiaolinDraconis> hello room
[07:01] <raylu> Doitle: paths... file? you mean $PATH variable?
[07:01] <Doitle> yeah
[07:01] <bobgill_> raylu: I want to copy some, yes, but they don't have to be the original numeric file name.. I just want to be able to copy them by looking at the symlinks, rather than seeing where they point to, memorizing, cd'ing back and copying that way
[07:01] <Doitle> I modified it before but accidentally overwrote it instead of adding to it
[07:01] <raylu> Doitle: export PATH=$PATH:/asdf/jkl/
[07:01] <Doitle> and so could not use any shell functionality
[07:02] <raylu> bobgill_: well.. you can already do that
[07:02] <botux> Sir_Brizz its not there heres what i get (http://rafb.net/p/BELC5t34.html)
[07:02] <XiaolinDraconis> <--- is linux virgin
[07:02] <raylu> bobgill_: touch a && ln -s a b && cp b c
[07:02] <raylu> bobgill_: will make a copy of a called c
[07:02] <raylu> !hi | XiaolinDraconis
[07:03] <XiaolinDraconis> ty ty
[07:03] <Ketrel> ok better question, how do I enable ubuntu universe?
[07:03]  * scunizi wonders why everyone has such long nicks.. they all get truncated anyway
[07:03] <raylu> botux: inet addr:192.168.1.103
[07:03] <Ketrel> (or is it enabled by default)
[07:03] <XiaolinDraconis> im having a little trouble with permissions
[07:03] <raylu> Ketrel: /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:03] <raylu> Ketrel: or system > admin > software sources, i think
[07:03] <botux> raylu: i tried i cant see samba at that address
[07:03] <XiaolinDraconis> i try to use the same username everywhere i go
[07:04] <raylu> botux: m, no idea. talk to Sir_Brizz :P
[07:04] <Sir_Brizz> lol
[07:04] <botux> lol
[07:04] <Sir_Brizz> can you ping that ip from your windows box?
[07:04] <scunizi> XiaolinDraconis: anything beyond 9 characters get truncated on my machine.
[07:04] <botux> um lemme try
[07:04] <raylu> !permissions | XiaolinDraconis
[07:04] <raylu> i thought you were talking about username in linux =\
[07:05] <XiaolinDraconis> heh most names under 9 chars are taken anyways
[07:05] <Sir_Brizz> XiaolinDraconis: I bet a56g09r5rb is not taken
[07:05] <botux> Sir_Brizz: yes it was  successful
[07:05] <SJrX> jaunty!
[07:05] <XiaolinDraconis> can anyone help me with editing /etc/sudoers and/or /etc/passwd files?
[07:06] <raylu> Sir_Brizz: that's not under 9 chars. that's not even 9 chars.
[07:06] <raylu> XiaolinDraconis: don't do the latter manually
[07:06] <Sir_Brizz> whoops I bumped the b key
[07:06] <raylu> XiaolinDraconis: also, it looks like you're trying to do something the wrong way. what's the high-level goal you want to accomplish
[07:06]  * raylu feels like the paperclip
[07:06] <XiaolinDraconis> i want root access on my user account
[07:06] <FiReSTaRT> scunizi: im still having trouble opening it.. doing an update...
[07:06] <Sir_Brizz> botux, how are you trying to access the share?
[07:06] <FiReSTaRT> scunizi, nope nothing for acro
[07:07] <raylu> XiaolinDraconis: and "sudo ls" doesn't cut it?
[07:07] <lstarnes> XiaolinDraconis: then add your user to the admin group
[07:07] <scunizi> FiReSTaRT: I'm on Hardy and it works.
[07:07] <XiaolinDraconis> i believe i am in the admin group
[07:07] <botux> Sir_Brizz: well with vista im not even sure how lol
[07:07] <FiReSTaRT> scunizi, would you mind printing it to pdf and kicking it my way?
[07:07] <lstarnes> XiaolinDraconis: if your account can use sudo, it is in the admin group and effectively has root rights
[07:07]  * D3f0 is away: Ausente por el momento
[07:07] <scunizi> FiReSTaRT: sure
[07:07] <XiaolinDraconis> but i still wasnt allowed to edit grub menu.lst
[07:07] <FiReSTaRT> thanks :)
[07:08] <lstarnes> XiaolinDraconis: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:08] <raylu> XiaolinDraconis: gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:08] <streenz> how do I change the default window manager without completely uninstalling the ones I dont want?  right now I'm constantly booting into LXDE by default and I want just GNOME.. I'm using GDM
[07:08] <Sir_Brizz> botux, well for startes try going to start, and typing run in the search box
[07:08] <XiaolinDraconis> as an admin user i wasnt allowed to edit grub menu file
[07:08] <raylu> streenz: gdm has a sessions button, doesn't it?
[07:08] <XiaolinDraconis> oops i scrolled up
[07:08] <Sir_Brizz> botux: then type \\192.168.1.103
[07:08] <raylu> streenz: also, gnome itself has a WM option... somewhere. i'm using gnome and xmonad
[07:08] <FiReSTaRT> scunizi, btw great news.. we finally have the nvidia 180 driver.. ill have to see if it'll solve the suspend issue on intrepid :)
[07:09] <streenz> raylu, yes I can go through and manually change it to GNOME, but theres no option to change what the default is, so from a reboot it will always go into LXDE unless i specify right now
[07:09] <XiaolinDraconis> i just dont want to have to use the terminal to do things all the time
[07:09] <lstarnes> XiaolinDraconis: there's also alt+f2
[07:09]  * FiReSTaRT brb rebooting :)
[07:09] <raylu> streenz: er, if you choose one that's not the default, it asks if you want to make it the default
[07:09] <raylu> XiaolinDraconis: why not?
[07:10] <streenz> raylu, where does it ask? I see no option, and upon entering into GNOME it doesnt bring up a prompt or anything...
[07:10] <botux> Sir_Brizz: vista doesnt have run
[07:10] <leaveornot> irc://irc.karma-irc.net/nerve
[07:10] <Sir_Brizz> botux, yes it does
[07:10] <botux> oh lol
[07:10] <XiaolinDraconis> cause im a spoiled windows refugee
[07:10] <XiaolinDraconis> ....
[07:10] <botux> duh
[07:10] <raylu> streenz: before logging in at the gdm screen, there should be a Sessions option
[07:10] <ryanCH> can you install 3ddesktop via apt-get?
[07:10] <raylu> XiaolinDraconis: well, you'll need to become a proper citizen or your stay here will be unpleasant
[07:11] <raylu> ryanCH: what's 3ddesktop?
[07:11] <streenz> raylu, yes it has Options --- Select Session...  upon clicking that I have the different options.. I choose GNOME, and click Change Session and log in... nowhere is there an option to make this the default
[07:11] <XiaolinDraconis> well if it makes anyone happy im proud to say i have no ntfs partitions on my machine anymore
[07:11] <ryanCH> raylu: it's a way to swtich between desktops in a 3d rotation
[07:12] <raylu> ryanCH: sounds like you want compiz
[07:12] <crdlb> streenz: with gdm, you will get a dialog that says [Make default] [Cancel] [Just for this session]
[07:12] <botux> SirBrizz: says cannot access and is asking me if i want it to diagnose a problem
[07:12] <raylu> ryanCH: try installing compizconfig-settings-manager
[07:12] <Sir_Brizz> botux: cannot acces what?
[07:13] <raylu> streenz: strange... perhaps that is the default? upon restart, it still puts you into lxde?
[07:13] <ron20101> how can i get the latest driver for my dell studio 1535 for ubuntu ibex?
[07:13] <streenz> raylu, yes there is no option to make default, and on a restart it goes into LXDE
[07:13] <raylu> XiaolinDraconis: cool. i actually still keep it around :(
[07:13] <raylu> ron20101: for what device?
[07:13] <botux> Sir_Brizz: the ip address and when i click on details it says network path not found
[07:13] <XiaolinDraconis> raylu: is therre a difference in compize-settings-manager and simple-csm
[07:13] <raylu> streenz: no idea, sorry
[07:13] <streenz> crdlb, I dont see that dialog at all
[07:13] <ron20101> raylu video
[07:13] <ron20101> sorry
[07:13] <csaba> which command should I use to monitor a directory with gamin?
[07:14] <streenz> raylu, okay thanks anyways.. thanks for your time
[07:14] <crdlb> csaba: "command"?
[07:14] <raylu> streenz: poke /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
[07:14] <csaba> what should I type to monitor a directory?
[07:14] <raylu> XiaolinDraconis: i have no idea; i don't use either
[07:15] <XiaolinDraconis> i did have an ntfs partition until i discovered qemu
[07:15] <raylu> csaba: as in you want a line displayed on your terminal when someone creates or removes a file?
[07:15] <raylu> ron20101: what video card?
[07:15] <ron20101> raylu: any direction for finding latest video drivers
[07:15] <ron20101> hold on
[07:15] <raylu> ron20101: lspci
[07:15] <scunizi> ron20101: what card?
[07:16] <Ketrel> I can't figure this out
[07:16] <csaba> well no, I want another script to be executed... and I was told to use gamin, so I've tried to install it with apt-get install and was told that it's already installed... then in the end I found /usr/lib/gamin/gam_server but there's no help or anything on how to use it
[07:16] <raylu> Ketrel: welcome to my world
[07:16] <Ketrel> I installed b43-fwcutter but I can't find any info on what to do nextr
[07:16] <Ketrel> *next
[07:17] <raylu> Ketrel: try blacklisting the current driver in /etc/modprobe.d
[07:17] <crdlb> csaba: what programming language are you using?
[07:17] <csaba> this isn't programming, I'm trying to execute the command from the shell
[07:17] <XiaolinDraconis> ok can someone help me fix my /etc/passwd file?
[07:18] <crdlb> csaba: that is a form of programming, but I doubt it can be done at that level
[07:18] <XiaolinDraconis> i googled how to get root privies and was show how to do this
[07:18] <raylu> Ketrel: then, modprobe -r [current driver]
[07:18] <XiaolinDraconis> and it didnt work out the way i thought
[07:18] <raylu> Ketrel: modprobe b43-fwcutter or whatever
[07:18] <raylu> XiaolinDraconis: 'able to use sudo' isn't the same as 'having root privelages'
[07:19] <XiaolinDraconis> yeah i understand this now
[07:19] <raylu> XiaolinDraconis: you execute commands as root by prepending 'sudo'
[07:19] <raylu> XiaolinDraconis: there is nothing wrong with your passwd (hopefully)
[07:19] <XiaolinDraconis> yeah i changed it to read g:x:0:0:,,,,,
[07:19] <XiaolinDraconis> which made my account root
[07:19] <raylu> XiaolinDraconis: ..................
[07:20] <ActionParsnip> !adduser
[07:20] <XiaolinDraconis> yeah i got that far
[07:20]  * FiReSTaRT rebooted too soon.. didnt have the actual 180 driver installed .lol
[07:20] <raylu> ron20101: your'e probably using it already if its intel
[07:21] <XiaolinDraconis> what i attempted was making my account not need the terminal for root access
[07:21] <FiReSTaRT> scunizi, thanks for the file btw :)
[07:21] <Ketrel> raylu I don't think it's working
[07:21] <bullgard4> Why prints 'sudo netstat -tulpen' (http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/394711) in the first line for port 2628=Dictionary Server as  program name=0,  and is not more specific as the rest lines?  'ps 5380' prints yet 'dictd 1.10.10: 0/0'.
[07:21] <XiaolinDraconis> now i AM root
[07:21] <XiaolinDraconis> and i dont wanna be root
[07:21] <raylu> Ketrel: lsmod | grep b43
[07:21] <XiaolinDraconis> i tried changing the entry back
[07:21] <scunizi> FiReSTaRT: np..180.44 works well by the way
[07:21] <ron20101> thanks raylu for the help
[07:21] <XiaolinDraconis> but then my profile failed to load
[07:21] <raylu> !de | bullgard4
[07:22] <botux> Sir_Brizz:  you still there
[07:22] <FiReSTaRT> scunizi: time to reboot again and try again lol
[07:22]  * FiReSTaRT brb
[07:22] <raylu> XiaolinDraconis: so uh, how hard would it be to reinstall?
[07:22] <Ketrel> raylu: a bunch show up, but I can't unload it
[07:22] <scunizi> FiReSTaRT: why you rebooting
[07:22] <bullgard4> raylu: Are you able to differntiate between English and German at all?
[07:22] <FiReSTaRT> it tells me i need to reboot for the driver to be activated
[07:22] <raylu> Ketrel: what was the name of the driver that lspci -v said it was using? and what did you modprobe -r?
[07:22] <XiaolinDraconis> not hard at all... how hard would this be to fix?
[07:23] <XiaolinDraconis> without reinstall
[07:23] <raylu> Ketrel: also, did you blacklist the old driver? if so, what was the name of the thing you added to the blacklist file?
[07:23] <scunizi> FiReSTaRT: k
[07:23] <FiReSTaRT> scunizi: and while i should have crashed like 2hrs ago i NEED to know whether it works :P
[07:23] <raylu> XiaolinDraconis: i have no idea, since i've never done something that disastrous
[07:23] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: you could boot to root recovery console and rename your profile folder and then delete your current user, then create a user with the same name, rename back, then chown the profile to the new user (even though it has the same name)
[07:23] <Ketrel> raylu: I think I missed those steps (not that I know how to do them)
[07:24] <ActionParsnip> raylu: does ^ sound good?
[07:24] <raylu> bullgard4: yes, but i can also differentiate between english and good english and was trying to help you by possibly providing you with an easier means of communication
[07:24] <XiaolinDraconis> Action has a plan
[07:24] <raylu> ActionParsnip: yes, but other changes could have been made
[07:24] <XiaolinDraconis> now i gotta find out how to backup my settings
[07:24] <Aloe> hi
[07:24] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: just wait to see if anyone says its a bad call
[07:24] <raylu> i suppose its worth a try
[07:24] <ActionParsnip> raylu: ah, dang
[07:24] <raylu> since nothing can really get worse :P
[07:24] <Aloe> hi everybody
[07:25] <guja> If I use 9.04 beta, will it be updated and upgraded to official version after I preform this operations in 15 days when it'll be official?
[07:25] <raylu> Ketrel: er... ok, you said that you couldn't unload it. by that, i took it to mean you were modprobe -r -ing something?
[07:25] <lstarnes> XiaolinDraconis: or you could try using uid 1000 and gid 1000, assuming your account was the account made during installation
[07:25] <XiaolinDraconis> i wouldnt need to go to recovery console since i still have the real root account to login to
[07:25] <ActionParsnip> guja: yes, yuo will upgrade into the full release when it finally arrives
[07:25] <XiaolinDraconis> lstarness i tried doing that
[07:26] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: yes as you will then be a different user and any files will not be locked
[07:26] <XiaolinDraconis> it gave me a bunch of errors at login such as couldnt create HOME/g
[07:26] <Aloe> I tried to write a if condition where one string is compared to two other string with the operator "eq" and "and" but it doesnt seem to work. Does anybody knows another way of writting it?
[07:26] <guja> ActionParsnip, thanks for the answer.
[07:26] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: wll root wont give you that grief
[07:27] <XiaolinDraconis> nope root account is fine
[07:27] <XiaolinDraconis> i have two root accounts now
[07:27] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: those files are massively system sensitive dude, stuff like xorg.conf and smb.conf are quite disposable, user authentication and permissions messing about I would steer VERY clear of
[07:27] <raylu> Aloe: show us the actual script?
[07:28] <Aloe> if ($geneID eq $geneIDl and $interactant eq $geneIDl )
[07:28] <Aloe> 		{
[07:28] <Aloe> 			
[07:28] <Aloe> 			print OUTFILE"gene1 exist";
[07:28] <Aloe> 		}
[07:28] <FloodBot3> Aloe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: as the account you have is screwed but I'm guessing you want to keep your user data I would do it in recovery mode with a fully functioning account
[07:28] <Aloe> ok
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> Aloe: use pastebin, imagine if all 1300 of us did that, the channel would be pointless. think next time
[07:28] <XiaolinDraconis> my root account is fully funstional
[07:29] <XiaolinDraconis> actually all accounts are fine
[07:29] <Aloe> sorry guys
[07:29] <raylu> Aloe: i think you want [ instead of ( and -eq instead of eq and "&&" instead of "and"
[07:29] <XiaolinDraconis> i just cant revert to being a normal user
[07:29] <Aloe> wont happen again
[07:29] <XiaolinDraconis> or it gets crazy
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: its my suggestion, you are the implementor
[07:29] <XiaolinDraconis> oh yes i am listening
[07:29] <jurism> Can You tell me please how to list all local disks (not partitions) in terminal? Thank You!
[07:29] <XiaolinDraconis> and your idea sounds good to me
[07:30] <VE2EBP> Hi guys, I have an old laptop I can't find the way to change the brightness of the built-in LCD monitor. Is there somewhere in Ubuntu 8.10 that I can go ahead and change the settings? Thanks in advance.
[07:30] <raylu> jurism: mount shows all mount points, sudo fdisk -l shows all disks (and patitions), and df -h may help you
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: so go make your move
[07:30] <raylu> *partitions
[07:30] <jurism> Thank You!
[07:30] <Aloe> here goes the link http://paste.ubuntu.com/146717/
[07:30] <VE2EBP> Hi ActionParsnip
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> hi VE2EBP
[07:30] <Aloe> thanks raylu
[07:30] <raylu> Aloe: wait, that seriously worked?
[07:31] <XiaolinDraconis> yeah i gotta go do some googling to see how to backup profile settings ... such as custom panels and wallpapers
[07:31] <Aloe> I am goin to check
[07:31] <brunner> Is there any reason I shouldn't turn off "Kernel Debugging" when compiling a kernel for a production server?
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> Aloe: what language is this in?
[07:31] <raylu> brunner: is there any reason you're not using linux-image-server?
[07:31] <raylu> ActionParsnip: bash
[07:31] <brunner> raylu: I'm adjusting my timing to 1000Hz for Asterisk
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: it will be in you home folder
[07:32] <raylu> ActionParsnip: (i think)
[07:32] <brunner> raylu: that way, zap-dummy doesn't abuse my USB controller for timing
[07:32] <raylu> brunner: what does the help for that option say?
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> raylu: I thought bash used brackets for if statements, ot parenthesis
[07:32] <psypher246> ActionParsnip: hey thanks for the help yesterday. my pc is half sorted, can at least watch videos now.
[07:32] <raylu> brunner: oh wait, it's a whole category
[07:33] <brunner> raylu: yeah
[07:33] <XiaolinDraconis> thnx guys
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> Aloe: you'll need fi at the end of the pastebin to close the if statement
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> psypher246: awesome
[07:33] <VE2EBP> Yeah.. thanks for me too ActionParsnip... I installed the CWIRC
[07:33] <VE2EBP> with your help
[07:33] <VE2EBP> Thanks
[07:33] <XiaolinDraconis> so just back it up from a seperate account and then delete it and recreate it
[07:33] <XiaolinDraconis> and copy back over
[07:33] <XiaolinDraconis> sound right>?
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> VE2EBP: np bro, it makes the world go round, help folks where you can
[07:34] <Ketrel> raylu: I was doing modprobe -r b43
[07:34] <VE2EBP> There should be more like you around
[07:34] <Ketrel> (and getting denied messages)
[07:34] <boooo> guys what is the shortcut of "go back back" in Firefox in ubuntu? in windows it is backspace... how about in Ubuntu?
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: if you simply rename it so the home folder no longer matches the user name you have a winner
[07:34] <raylu> brunner: magic sysrq is fun :D. but i guess not. then again, i'm not sure
[07:34] <Aloe> this is perl
[07:34] <VE2EBP> Our world might be turning more round
[07:34] <raylu> Aloe: oh.............
[07:34] <XiaolinDraconis> got ya
[07:34] <raylu> Ketrel: er, there's actually a b43 module?
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> VE2EBP: as long as it doesnt accellerate the end of the world right ;)
[07:35] <boooo> guys what is the shortcut of "go back back" in Firefox in ubuntu? in windows it is backspace... how about in Ubuntu?
[07:35] <raylu> Ketrel: you'll need to be root to do that. i also recommend invoke-rc.d networking stop
[07:35] <raylu> Ketrel: before doing that
[07:35] <VE2EBP> 3 more years to go
[07:35] <XiaolinDraconis> alt+left
[07:35] <VE2EBP> What do you think about planet x
[07:35] <XiaolinDraconis> booo: its alt+left arrow
[07:35] <lstarnes> boooo: maybe alt+left
[07:35] <boooo> wow thanks...
[07:35] <raylu> boooo: about:config > backspace_action
[07:35] <VE2EBP> Oh cool, alt left arrow
[07:35] <VE2EBP> tnx
[07:36] <Ketrel> raylu: I have no idea what I'm doing at this point, I dunno what to do here. I always avoid broadcom for that reason.
[07:36] <sombir> any help on downloading vlc media player ??
[07:36] <FiReSTaRT> it's official 180.11 still doesn't suspend my machine
[07:36] <FiReSTaRT> sombir: sudo apt-get install vlc
[07:36] <Ketrel> (setting up this laptop with a simple layout for someone as a bday present)
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> sombir: sudo apt-get install vlc
[07:36] <raylu> Ketrel: so, lsmod lists kernel modules that are loaded. lspci -v shows what devices are using what modules. modprobe [module] loads [module] and -r does the reverse
[07:36] <XiaolinDraconis> cya guys later i gotta go log into the other root
[07:36] <XiaolinDraconis> thnx again
[07:36] <raylu> Ketrel: to modprobe, you'll need to be root
[07:36] <FiReSTaRT> sombir, just make sure you have mediubuntu
[07:37] <Ketrel> raylu, I was root
[07:37] <Aloe> ActionParsnip:here goes the file http://paste.ubuntu.com/146719/
[07:37] <Ketrel> it wouldn't let me unload
[07:37] <Ketrel> I used sudo
[07:37] <raylu> Ketrel: oh. can you show me the actual message?
[07:37] <showers> Anybody know if there are any repositories on the web which one might be able to add to ubuntu package manager
[07:37] <raylu> sombir: why vlc?
[07:37] <Aloe> raylu: it doesn't work :(
[07:37] <raylu> showers: none that are recommended
[07:37] <raylu> Aloe: yeah. i gave you the bash version
[07:38] <Aloe> raylu: ah! ok
[07:38] <Ketrel> raylu: nevermind, it worked after reboot, but more importantly now that I unloaded it, what DO I load?
[07:38] <ActionParsnip> showers: depends what app you need to what repo you need to add
[07:38] <abhishekiitd> hey people, how can i set the rotating sphere in compiz, as my screensaver?
[07:38] <ActionParsnip> Aloe: what language is this in?
[07:39] <Aloe> ActionParsnip: Perl
[07:39] <krammer_> i am trying to install a tar.bz2 but geting this err tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[07:39] <krammer_> tar: Child returned status 2
[07:39] <krammer_> tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> Aloe: i'd ask in #perl  much more specialized
[07:40] <raylu> Aloe: http://rafb.net/p/uUTmyl54.html
[07:40] <ActionParsnip> krammer_: whats the file for? It's rare to use tar.bz2 files to install stuff. Is the app not in repos?
[07:40] <showers> I would like a calculator which will keep a running total and has a hisory which could be used as memory. ESBcalc in windows type of calculator.
[07:40] <grawity> krammer_: what parameters are you using? try tar xf yourfile, or tar xjf yourfile
[07:40] <raylu> Ketrel: it worked _after_ reboot?
[07:40] <krammer_> tightvnc
[07:40] <abhishekiitd> hey people, how can i set the rotating sphere in compiz, as my screensaver?
[07:40] <abhishekiitd> hey people, how can i set the rotating sphere in compiz, as my screensaver?
[07:40] <raylu> Ketrel: did you blacklist anything? lspci -v again, see what's loaded for it
[07:41] <Aloe> raylu: I tried that too but it also doesnt work
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> showers: bc can do that, you can see your old computations as it scrolls up the screen
[07:41] <raylu> !patience | abhishekiitd
[07:41] <abhishekiitd> raylu:I am really sorry!
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> !find tight
[07:41] <raylu> showers: sounds like you want an rpn calculator. if you're familiar with that, dc does that
[07:41] <Aloe> ActionParsnip: Is there a forum like this specialized in perl?
[07:41] <raylu> Aloe: try == instead of eq
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> Aloe: there are 528 people in #perl
[07:41] <raylu> Aloe: also, you need a space between OUTFILE and "
[07:42] <showers> ActionParsnip: Do you know the command to get that from the command line. I i think it's sudo apt-get?
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> krammer_: tightvnc is in the repo
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> !info tightvnc
[07:42] <Ketrel> raylu: I'm missing something then, it says kernel driver in use is b43-pci-bridge but attempting to unload says it's not found
[07:42] <raylu> showers: both bc and dc are installed already, i think
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> krammer_: or do you want a viewer?
[07:42] <raylu> Ketrel: lsmod | grep b43
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> !nvc | krammer_
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> aah
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> !vcn | krammer_
[07:43] <Ketrel> however, just unloading b43 worked at which point it stopped showing up as a device in the network manager
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> !vnc
[07:43] <raylu> heh...
[07:43] <Aloe> raylu: == only works for numbers
[07:43]  * ActionParsnip crys
[07:43] <krammer_> ActionParsnip, ive been trying for hours with this tightvnc
[07:43] <Hassanakevazir> !help
[07:43] <Aloe> ActionParsnip: how do I enter in #perl, iḿ new here
[07:43] <raylu> Aloe: are you sure? have you tried it?
[07:43] <showers> No, I deleted all the calculators. (just learning, you see) the only one I have right now that i know of is kcalc. good but no history
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> Aloe: use /join #perl
[07:44] <Aloe> raylu:yeah!
[07:44] <ndan> mmkay... well i feel i worked on it sufficiently to ask.
[07:44] <jurism> Grawity, hi! I was asking about hard drive, soft lockup, ata_aux 100% usage etc. Today my server was restarted and now I can not see my second hard disk (was mounted on /home). Is it because of disk failure or SATA connector/controller?
[07:44] <raylu> Aloe: http://rafb.net/p/DNJcbP77.html
[07:44] <krammer_> i downloaded  tightvnc-1.3.10_unixsrc.tar.gz  now what do i do
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> krammer_: its usually tar zxjf <bz2 file> will extract it, you can then read the INSTALL file to see how it is installed. I suggest you use one of the vnc clients in the repo
[07:44] <ndan> webcam ubuntu.  a pain nevertheless.  quickcam (cheese) works.  installed fine kopete and gyachi however show a messed up image... grey jacked up.  ekiga works.
[07:44] <XiaolinDraconis> ok i have one problem with ur idea action
[07:44] <raylu> showers: oh, you have qt stuff installed. install qalculate then
[07:44] <jurism> tar xvfz tightvnc-1.3.10_unixsrc.tar.gz
[07:45] <Ketrel> raylu: after unloading b43, it's blank
[07:45] <raylu> jurism: um, he probably should be installing from repos
[07:45] <ndan> gspca is the driver it uses and apparently registers it as flexcam 100 (its not but it works.. somewhat) ne ideas how to finish the fixin it.
[07:45] <XiaolinDraconis> since the files read that they are owned by root.. when i copy them back over my newly created account wont they be unusable?
[07:45] <krammer_> jurism, i did that scroll back and see the error
[07:45] <raylu> Ketrel: hm... ok. what was the module you wanted to replace it with?
[07:45] <grawity> jurism: Sorry, I don't know anything about those storage things :) (I can destroy then, that's about it.)
[07:45] <Ketrel> raylu: that's what I've been asking
[07:45] <raylu> jurism: what do you mean you cannot 'see' it? fdisk -l?
[07:46] <raylu> Ketrel: o.0...
[07:46] <jurism> yes it shows only system disk
[07:46] <abhishekiitd> will someone tell mem that can u set beryl sphere as screensaver?
[07:46] <raylu> Ketrel: oh yeah, fwcutter. b43-fwcutter, i thought
[07:46] <Aloe> ActionParsnip: this may sound stupid but where do I write that?
[07:46] <Ketrel> raylu: that's a program not a module
[07:46] <nadan> btw if neone does respond about the webcam thing please refer to nadan... (my screen flashes n it made me change my nick)
[07:46] <raylu> Ketrel: it should have unpacked a module, right?
[07:47] <Nom-> Hey guys.  Is there any simple way to fix the behaviour of 'su' in hardy?  It doesn't seem to load the user environment as it does in older versions
[07:47] <ActionParsnip> Aloe: where you type the text you type to me
[07:47] <raylu> Nom-: su -, maybe
[07:47] <hecklingfext> i have an issue where my external hdd will not mount with any write access, no matter what options i put into my fstab
[07:47] <Nom-> raylu: Yeah, it doesn't work... it doesn't load the user environment
[07:47] <Ketrel> raylu: I have no idea, the wiki pretty much is mute after telling you to download it
[07:47] <raylu> Nom-: even with the -?
[07:47] <AK_Dave> ray: fwcutter means firmware cutter. b43-fwcutter is a program to cut your firmware out of the loop so that your kernel module will work.
[07:47] <ActionParsnip> Aloe: it's only a stupid question if you already know and are just bustin my chops to waste my time :)
[07:47] <Nom-> Yes, even with the -
[07:47] <kraut> moin
[07:47] <raylu> Ketrel: have you run it?
[07:47] <raylu> Nom-: strange; no idea
[07:47] <Ketrel> raylu: ¯\(°_o)/¯
[07:48] <Ketrel> I don't have a clue what to do with it
[07:48] <XiaolinDraconis> ActionParsnip: i have a possible problem with your idea
[07:48] <showers> I did download one from opensource.net the name says 'JavaScientificCalculator-2-0.3-Linux-x86-Install which I dragged onto the termial but it was rejected
[07:48] <hecklingfext> before mounting, /media/drive is drwxrwxrwx  after it changes to drwxr-xr-x
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: sup
[07:48] <Aloe> join #perl
[07:48] <Im_Toast> Is there any way to make a program get rid of it's hidden files when I uninstall it?
[07:48] <Nom-> I was going to suggest using sudo -i -u, but that complains when you try to run standard commands like 'perl'
[07:48] <raylu> Ketrel: so you installed a package b43-fwcutter, right? is there an app by that name?
[07:48] <XiaolinDraconis> ActionParsnip: the profile is owned by root
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> hecklingfext: modify its mount options
[07:48] <raylu> Ketrel: if not, dpkg -L b43-fwcutter
[07:48] <Aloe> use /join #perl
[07:48] <styol> regarding wifi and networkmanager, if you enter the wireless key for a router on one user account, how can you make that key for that router work the same when a different user account logs in? (so that it auto-connects)
[07:49] <Aloe> #perl
[07:49] <hecklingfext> ActionParsnip: i have in fstab to all possibilities i can think of
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: then you will need to be root, use root recovery conole and you will be the owner (root)
[07:49] <Ketrel> raylu: yes, but I see no guide on what to do WITH the app
[07:49] <XiaolinDraconis> ActionParsnip: so when i paste it overtop the newly created profile wont it be in-accessible
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> hecklingfext: you could add uid=1000 as an extra option
[07:49] <raylu> Ketrel: if you simply run it, it will extract the module
[07:49] <hecklingfext> ActionParsnip: it worked formatted in fat32 with umask=0000, but once i formatted into ext3 no cigar
[07:49] <Ketrel> raylu: no, it prints a menu
[07:50] <Ketrel> which tells me switches to extract the firmware
[07:50] <Ketrel> (from WHAT)
[07:50] <Aloe> ActionParsnip: do i type: join #perl (??)
[07:50] <raylu> Ketrel: hm... sorry, no idea
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: well thats why you chown -R <username> /home/<username>   when you copy it back (you will need to replace <username> with the username you are playing with0
[07:50] <raylu> Ketrel: though this sounds vaguely familiar
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> Aloe: you type         /join #perl
[07:51] <XiaolinDraconis> ActionParsnip: thats a lot of files to chown
[07:51] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: then its gonna take a while
[07:51] <XiaolinDraconis> is there a way to batch chown a folder
[07:51] <Aloe> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[07:51] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: thats what -R does
[07:51] <XiaolinDraconis> ooh kool
[07:51] <XiaolinDraconis> thnx
[07:51] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: why were you playing with hugely system sensitive files when you are CLEARLY a linux novice?
[07:51] <hecklingfext> ActionParsnip: same issue
[07:51] <raylu> my friend installed fedora over debian with a separate /home. debian, like ubuntu, uses uid=1000. fedora uses 500. it had to chown a few hundred files...
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: just curious
[07:52] <raylu> but instead of using chown, it used a python script
[07:52] <raylu> to do it. one. by. one.
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> raylu: haha nice
[07:52] <brunner> can anyone take a quick look at the end of this to tell me why I'm having trouble getting this kernel to compile? http://pastebin.com/mffa9e13
[07:52] <hecklingfext> ActionParsnip: mount shows /dev/sdc1 on /media/backups type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,relatime)
[07:53] <brunner> I only changed two options, and the issue seems to be related to the parameters I'm passing when I try to compile, not the source of the kernel itself.
[07:53] <raylu> brunner: isn't there a config option to do the '-7-1-brunner' thing?
[07:53] <XiaolinDraconis> ActionParsnip: hmm i tried to delete it but it tells me adminstrator account cant be deleted
[07:53] <ActionParsnip> hecklingfext: ket me websearch
[07:53] <_motti_> hi all.
[07:53] <brunner> raylu: perhaps, could there be one that I'm not aware of?
[07:53] <raylu> _motti_: it seems i was wrong about earlier
[07:53] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: you dont need to delete it, just rename it, rename /home/<whatever name>
[07:54] <Aloe> raylu:  it also didnt go.But thanks anyway
[07:54] <hecklingfext> ActionParsnip: more info, im running jaunty 64bit.  Dont know if that helps
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: or cp the folder to a new name, then delete the user
[07:54] <raylu> brunner: i'm pretty sure there was one in 2.6.27... but i'm not sure entirely
[07:54] <Ketrel> raylu: I think the card is completely unsupported
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> !jaunty | hecklingfext
[07:54] <_motti_> raylu, it's funny, it looks like you were right. I have noticed there are other bug report titled as a feature request
[07:54] <raylu> Ketrel: then ndiswrapper
[07:54] <_motti_> never mind that I got a new question
[07:54] <XiaolinDraconis> ActionParsnip: i renamed the accounts folder
[07:54] <Ketrel> which I have no idea how to use >.<
[07:54] <raylu> _motti_: heh, ok :D
[07:54] <Aloe> raylu: Iĺl have to go now,Iĺl think about it later.
[07:54] <raylu> !ndiswrapper | Ketrel
[07:55] <raylu> Ketrel: simply put, ndiswrapper -i [windows install .inf], modprobe, done
[07:55] <raylu> Ketrel: the hard part is getting the correct windows installer
[07:55] <_motti_> any way, I'm trying to use my home computer (linux mint, soon to be ubuntu 9.04) into a small ftp server so I could access files from other machines
[07:55] <hecklingfext> ActionParsnip: was that factoid supposed to do something?
[07:55] <Ketrel> especially without net access on that machine
[07:56] <raylu> !jaunty
[07:56] <raylu> hecklingfext: ^
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: then cp it to a new name. you may have to play with the account some so its deleteable, you've really messed this up dude. it's gonna take a lot of diggin
[07:56] <_motti_> and I'm not sure how to do it. I have listed my machine in dyndns servers but I can't see any files. ftp://yotam1.myphotos.cc
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> hecklingfext: jaunty isnt supported here
[07:56] <raylu> Ketrel: oh... heh. that's always fun
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> hecklingfext: so yes it issupposed to and DOES do something
[07:56] <jurism> Can someone tell me please what's wrong with my hard drive if after restart it not showing up in system (fdisk -l)? Some debug from syslog: Apr  8 09:07:54 ubuntu kernel: [   17.245836] ata3: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) Apr  8 09:07:54 ubuntu kernel: [   17.745014] ata4: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) . ata4 is my system disk and it's working fine
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> hecklingfext: you should read it
[07:56] <raylu> _motti_: are you behind a router?
[07:57] <eternal_> Is there a application to edit psd files ?
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> jurism: dont paste like that it scrolls the channel
[07:57] <hecklingfext> ActionParsnip: i did, i was just mentioning that it didnt show anything w/ the pipe there
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> hecklingfext: my bad
[07:57] <drmrhorse> scared off the bot lol
[07:57] <_motti_> yes. I was searching how to by pass it but I have seen it should turn ok

[07:58] <telen> Any one there
[07:58] <eternal_> !psd
[07:58] <XiaolinDraconis> ActionParsnip: ok so i deleted the entry from passwd file now the account is "gone"
[07:58] <drmrhorse> what is jfgi?
[07:58] <XiaolinDraconis> ActionParsnip: anything else i should delete ?
[07:58] <eternal_> who knows
[07:59] <Ketrel> drmrhorse: it'll be finnier if you look it up on google
[07:59] <Ketrel> *funnier
[07:59] <drmrhorse> kk
[07:59] <DJJeff> where is there a laptops tested page for ubuntu?
[07:59]  * drmrhorse dies
[07:59] <DJJeff> have a gateway 7330GZ laptop and wont install 8.10
[07:59] <Mr_Jfrsn> hey guys does anyone know how to fix flash .. it seems to lag really bad
[07:59] <axsd9d> !hacker
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: not sure, have a websearch, see what you can find. You could recreate the account as a user, then delete that gracefully so that the last bits of the account are removed
[08:00] <brunner> Makefile:528: /root/src/linux-source-2.6.27/arch/xen/Makefile: No such file or directory
[08:00] <brunner> any idea what's up with that?
[08:00] <eternal_> !find psd
[08:00] <eternal_> Do i have to load windows up just to veiw psd?
[08:00] <raylu> brunner: why are you building it for xen?
[08:00] <bn43> hi I've just installed intrepid from an old disk and on update I am getting errors - GPG error at the end - how do I fix?
[08:00] <XiaolinDraconis> passwords are wierd in ubuntu
[08:00] <Don_Miguel> Help please ... I was trying to install (LOTS) of package upgrades and got the warning that   three of them are "Broken" and I should use that  "Broken" as a filter  to locate them.   I have no real idea how to DO that, nor what to do next... maybe delete them ? Flannel, are you available to help ??
[08:00] <grawity> XiaolinDraconis: Why do you think so?
[08:00] <XiaolinDraconis> when i installed it allowed me to use a 1 character password
[08:01] <brunner> raylu: I don't want to.  I just want AMD64
[08:01] <XiaolinDraconis> but after install no accounts can have anythingless than 6
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: that is discouraged in jaunty
[08:01] <raylu> brunner: pretty sure there's a config...somewhere... for that...
[08:01] <XiaolinDraconis> jaunty?
[08:01] <_motti_> raylu. so should I give up
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: th next release, weak passwords are pointless
[08:01] <raylu> _motti_: is the ftpd running?
[08:01] <dandre> Hello,
[08:01] <XiaolinDraconis> true i would rather have no password
[08:02] <AK_Dave> if you don't want a password, use autologin
[08:02] <telen> do any one know how to back the default setting?
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: then your system is massively vulnerable to attacks and poisoning
[08:02] <AK_Dave> you can void your sudo password with NOPASSWD in the sudoers file
[08:02] <_motti_> raylu, I'm bot sure. I think so. I'm using vsftpd
[08:02] <dandre> I am searching for a tool that can display all dns information for a domain. which one do you suggest?
[08:02] <raylu> _motti_: pgrep -l ftp
[08:02] <brunner> http://pastebin.com/m2ebae410
[08:02] <XiaolinDraconis> today is the first day i google about security
[08:02] <raylu> _motti_: also, netstat -lt
[08:03] <XiaolinDraconis> sounds quite difficult in linux
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: what is difficult?
[08:03] <raylu> dandre: host is the short and simple one. nslookup is a bit more complicated. dig goes all the way. also, whois
[08:03] <XiaolinDraconis> security
[08:03] <AK_Dave> security in linux is EASY. It comes by default. Getting rid of it takes work and knowing what you're doing
[08:03] <_motti_> 30664 vsftpd
[08:03] <XiaolinDraconis> lol apparently getting rid of it is easier
[08:04] <raylu> AK_Dave: you missed the conversation earlier :D
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: its really not, just have a half decent password and use sudo. Security done
[08:04] <XiaolinDraconis> cause i managed to do it without any knowledge
[08:04] <raylu> _motti_: can you connect to it locally?
[08:04] <Hassanakevazir> XiaolinDraconis, just pick a good root password and yer set
[08:04] <XiaolinDraconis> i have a good password
[08:04] <XiaolinDraconis> seems hard to me anyways
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: the fact that you wre sudo gives you full reign over yur system so you are free to screw it up (as you have done now)
[08:04] <XiaolinDraconis> and every website says its strong when i choose it
[08:05] <_motti_> in both cases I see a white screen (both when ftping my local ip and when I'm ftping my url)
[08:05] <Baskt_Case> hello all... my machine is in the DMZ, iptables has been disabled, yet my ports still appear stealthed to the internet, what gives?\
[08:05] <dandre> raylu: I haven't found how to use dig, host or nslookup for that. I have only been able to get the top level A record (for instance domain.com)
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: when you use sudo, linux will not save your own bad actions from yourself
[08:05] <XiaolinDraconis> so if i can use sudo couldnt the attacker as well?
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: only if they have your password
[08:05] <raylu> dandre: "dig domain.com" gives me 3 ns records and 2 A records
[08:05] <XiaolinDraconis> i should prolly change roots password then
[08:05] <raylu> dandre: host gave me domain.com's mailserver
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: no dont
[08:06] <dandre> yes but I want all A, CNAME, ... feilds
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: root account is disabled so any attack on that account wiill have 0% chance of success
[08:06] <XiaolinDraconis> why not?
[08:06] <_motti_> raylu. in both cases I see a white screen (both when ftping my local ip and when I'm ftping my url)
[08:06] <Madpilot> XiaolinDraconis, unless you've assigned root a password, there is no pw
[08:06] <Hassanakevazir> _motti_, I don't know what you are using but gproftp has been the easiest for me to setup and configure
[08:06] <Madpilot> the account is just locked, as ActionParsnip said
[08:06] <XiaolinDraconis> oh yeah i gave root a one char password
[08:06] <XiaolinDraconis> which i just now changed
[08:06]  * ActionParsnip facepalms
[08:06] <raylu> _motti_: um... what ftp client are you using?
[08:06] <Madpilot> XiaolinDraconis, you can disable root again. I'd recommend it
[08:07] <XiaolinDraconis> how do i disable it?
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: i STRONGLY reccomend it
[08:07] <_motti_> firefox
[08:07] <Madpilot> XiaolinDraconis, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> Madpilot: do you know the command?
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> neat
[08:07] <Madpilot> or ask the bot
[08:07] <_motti_> raylu: firefox
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> root account with a 1 char pass, thats classic
[08:07] <Madpilot> ubottu, root | ActionParsnip
[08:07] <raylu> _motti_: uh... try using 'ftp localhost' in the terminal
[08:07] <Xcell> lol 1 char pass
[08:08] <thahauss> Can someone please help me out I'm new to Linux/Ubuntu and I'm trying to mount a slave drive I formatted in ext4 through gparted but it doesn't show up in Filemaster>Places any help is appreciated
[08:08] <XiaolinDraconis> open terminal
[08:08] <raylu> dandre: "dig domain.com CNAME" seems to have worked
[08:08] <XiaolinDraconis> type mount -a
[08:08] <XiaolinDraconis> that will mount all available media
[08:08] <drmrhorse> i couldnt access my ext4 partition from my hardy login
[08:08] <raylu> XiaolinDraconis: that applies only to entries in /etc/fstab
[08:08] <XiaolinDraconis> ooh
[08:09] <raylu> drmrhorse: i don't believe hardy has ext4 support. nor does intrepid
[08:09] <drmrhorse> sure doesnt
[08:09] <drmrhorse> i was just talking like
[08:09] <Don_Miguel> Help please ... I was trying to install (LOTS) of package upgrades and got the warning that   three of them are "Broken" and I should use that  "Broken" as a filter  to locate them.   I have no real idea how to DO that, nor what to do next... maybe delete them ?
[08:09] <AK_Dave> thahauss: You just now formatted it. okay, so unplug it and plug it back in fresh.
[08:09] <raylu> Don_Miguel: didn't you have this issue like... months earlier?
[08:09] <Don_Miguel> similar, yep !
[08:09] <Baskt_Case> Hello all... My machine is in the DMZ and I have iptables disabled, yet my ports still appear closed when I test them.... what gives???
[08:09] <thahauss> AK_Dave, its a Sata drive
[08:09] <royman> lol 1 char root password...
[08:09] <Xcell> Don_Miguel--  open up synaptic package manager and click...fix broken
[08:10] <lstarnes> Baskt_Case: the ports won't open until something starts listening on them
[08:10] <XiaolinDraconis> i am happy to have given all a good laugh
[08:10] <thahauss> XiaolinDraconis, I tried what you told me but its still not showing in places any ides?
[08:10] <Baskt_Case> like my torrent client
[08:10] <XiaolinDraconis> yeah action said i was wrong
[08:10] <XiaolinDraconis> it only applies to entries in fstab file
[08:10] <Baskt_Case> i kno... and when i check the port while the client is running, it still appears closed
[08:10] <Baskt_Case> so i killed iptables
[08:10] <Baskt_Case> and still no go
[08:11] <Don_Miguel> raylu, this FIX has something we missed MONTHS ago !    https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2007-January/104520.html
[08:11] <XiaolinDraconis> maybe he can go to /dev ?
[08:11] <Don_Miguel> Xcell, thanks !
[08:11] <Nom-> gah worked it out
[08:11] <XiaolinDraconis> thahauss: right click a panel
[08:11] <XiaolinDraconis> and then select "add to panel"
[08:11] <Baskt_Case> lstarnes, any ideas?
[08:11] <Nom-> Someone had the bright idea of aliasing su to "su -m" as part of our production auto install CD
[08:12] <error404notfound> I had a ubuntu-server install, i installed xserver-xorg, configured it, now when i run startx screen goes black, and i endup on the same terminal with "Fatal server error, no screens found, XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":).0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 vents remaining." Any ideas?
[08:12] <Nom-> So behaviour was broken
[08:12] <XiaolinDraconis> and then find the disk mounter
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> error404notfound: why install server if you are going to put an xserver on it?
[08:12] <raylu> Don_Miguel: ah... we should have moved /var/lib/dpkg/info instead of all of /var/lib/dpkg. strange error
[08:12] <thahauss> XiaolinDraconis, ok I added disk mounter
[08:13] <error404notfound> ActionParsnip, just doing a test, whats wrong with it? i will remove it once i get it running and do a little work..
[08:13] <XiaolinDraconis> now you "should" have little icons to click
[08:13] <raylu> Nom-: interesting
[08:13] <AK_Dave> XiaolinDraconis: If his drive isn't showing up in Nautilus, it won't show up on that little panel applet.
[08:13] <eternal_> Anyone ever setup ircd-hybrid before? i can't connect past motd
[08:13] <Don_Miguel> raylu, we tried LOTS of variations .. but missed the part that fixed it ...
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> error404notfound: ok, just seems pointless installing server to put x on it, thats one of the features of the server install
[08:14] <hardaez> hi
[08:14] <XiaolinDraconis> hmmm
[08:14] <XiaolinDraconis> i google this one
[08:14] <thahauss> Gparted shows it as formatted but unmounted
[08:14] <error404notfound> my issue isn't that i shouldnt be installing it, coz believe me i know, but it gives this error..
[08:14]  * Don_Miguel switching computers for a bit to try Xcell's suggestion with synaptic
[08:15] <AK_Dave> thahaus: sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart
[08:15] <thahauss> AK_Dave, ok done
[08:15] <dandre> raylu: what domaine have you tested?
[08:15] <Nom-> raylu: Not really, but thanks for saying so :)
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> error404notfound: let me websearch
[08:16] <error404notfound> ActionParsnip, /me is also on google :D
[08:16] <groken> what is the restricted component for in an ubuntu repository?
[08:17] <AK_Dave> thahaus: Okay, so now it should show up in Places
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> error404notfound: try: sudo apt-get -f install
[08:17] <_motti_> raylu. Ok, ftp localhost works now.
[08:17] <thahauss> AK_Dave, I still dont see it :(
[08:17] <thahauss> AK_Dave, this is a fresh install of 9.04 also
[08:17] <raylu> _motti_: and does it work from another machine inside the network?
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> error404notfound: http://gparted-forum.surf4.info/viewtopic.php?id=1399
[08:17] <raylu> _motti_: it's possible that it's ocnfigured to only listen on 127.0.0.1
[08:18] <hardaez> anyone know why when i install google earth 5... the window screen at google earth become blurr and noisy
[08:18] <_motti_> raylu, I have no othe machine inside the network
[08:18] <raylu> dandre: domain.com
[08:18] <XiaolinDraconis> ActionParsnip: ok so the command is chown -R <usr> /home/<usr>
[08:18] <hardaez> i just install on my laptop acer aspire
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> error404notfound: you need an xorg.conf run: sudo dpk-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:18] <jurism> I have problems with my SATA disk, where should I add pci=nomsi in menu.lst? thank You! Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server
[08:18] <raylu> _motti_: oh. well, i'd poke the vsftpd config to see if it was only listening on localhost
[08:18] <AK_Dave> thahauss: hit that web link I sent you to. Redo the partition manually, from the command line.
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: yes to give the user (who is now a USER) it's data
[08:18] <_motti_> raylu, I'll search there and be back.
[08:19] <XiaolinDraconis> ok gonna try logging back in
[08:19] <_motti_> raylu, bu before I go, is there a simple way in xchat to auto-complete user-names?
[08:19] <raylu> !tab | _motti_
[08:20] <Hassanakevazir> groken, it is packages with non-free licenses.
[08:20] <_motti_> raylu: thanks. I don't know why but I can swear that It didn't work on the first few times I tried it.
[08:20] <dandre> raylu: http://pastebin.fr/4013
[08:21] <raylu> dandre: is that not the cname entry?
[08:22] <dandre> I have tried ANY too
[08:22] <raylu> dandre: see, i actually don't know anything about DNS besides the basic concept :P
[08:23] <dandre> ok
[08:23] <raylu> dandre: but i'm fairly confident "dig --help" will help you
[08:23] <kaushal> hi
[08:23] <brunner> how long does it take to compile the kernel on desktop?
[08:23] <kaushal> anyone using google desktop on ubuntu 8.04 ?
[08:23] <brunner> must take ages
[08:23] <raylu> brunner: on my laptop it took ~10 mins
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> brunner: depends on cpu, ram and hard drive speed
[08:24] <brunner> ActionParsnip: 8 64-bit Opteron cores, 16GB of RAM, two RAID 1 15K SAS drives
[08:24] <raylu> brunner: with make -j9, like 60 seconds
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> brunner: i'd call about 10 mins tops
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> 8 x cpu, damn, yeah abou 2 mins
[08:25] <brunner> I set the CONCURRENCY_LEVEL to 8
[08:25] <error404notfound> ActionParsnip, i have a xorg.conf using vesa
[08:26] <error404notfound> even tried with vmware
[08:26] <brunner> I need a faster server =/
[08:27] <_motti_> raylu: could it be relevant to inetd?
[08:27] <_motti_> Hassanakevazir: I tried your app but I couldn't find any man for it, or a gui
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> error404notfound: you could try: sudo apt-get install fluxbox
[08:29] <Burntresistor> im trying to install my nvidia driver using given command sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.44-pkg2.run   and the error im getting says install as root
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> error404notfound: that will give you a low footprint DE too
[08:29] <error404notfound> i just needed X :(
[08:30] <AK_Dave> Burntresistor: sudo
[08:30] <raylu> _motti_: if vsftpd is running as an inetd daemon, yes
[08:30] <yubinjie> haha
[08:30] <raylu> _motti_: but unless you're using inetd for at least 1 other daemon, i'd recommend you try and run it as a normal daemon
[08:31] <yubinjie> hello everyone
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> error404notfound: you could run the command and read what other packages will be installed, see what looks good
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> error404notfound: then cancel the install and install individual packages
[08:32] <raylu> (that's what aptitude -s is for)
[08:32] <raylu> (and you don't even need to be root :D)
[08:35] <_motti_> raylu: could it be that I have inetd running and I don't know of?
[08:36] <raylu> _motti_: it would only matter if vsftpd was set to run as an inetd daemon or if inetd was listening on 22. in either case, netstat -tl will help you
[08:36] <_motti_> ~pastebin
[08:37] <_motti_> raylu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/146747/
[08:38] <raylu> _motti_: try netstat -tlp
[08:38] <raylu> _motti_: also, it looks like whatever's listening on ftp is listening for all addresses, so it's not a localhost-only issue but a port-forwarding issue
[08:39] <_motti_> it looks the same
[08:39] <raylu> _motti_: shouldn't there be a pid/program name column?
[08:40] <_motti_> raylu: you are right of course.
[08:40] <_motti_> raylu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/146749/
[08:41] <_motti_> raylu: I have played around with configuration las night, could it be that I have blocked outside ip's?
[08:41] <raylu> _motti_: again, it looks like it's listening for all addresses
[08:41] <raylu> _motti_: pgrep -l inetd
[08:42] <_motti_> no result
[08:42] <XiaolinDraconis> well that didnt work
[08:42] <raylu> ok, not definitive that it's not an inetd, but i'd say that it's a port forwarding issue now
[08:42] <_motti_> raylu: so I need to configure my router?
[08:43] <raylu> _motti_: yep. wait, you have tried to do that already, right?
[08:43] <Machtin> hey guys.. i got a few 100 files which have a .htm-extension - however, i want that extension to be removed.. how do i do that? i thought of something like mv *.htm /bla/*-htm
[08:43] <Machtin> i'm fine with a tool, too
[08:44] <raylu> Machtin: for $file in .
[08:44] <_motti_> raylu: As I wrote at the beginning, I thought I should but I didn't find any reference for it on the web
[08:45] <raylu> file=${file%.htm}
[08:45] <raylu> er, wait...
[08:45] <Machtin> raylu: mind giving me a complete command? i don't want to mess it up
[08:46] <_motti_> raylu: What should I configure, the port forwarding or the virtual server?
[08:46] <raylu> Machtin: http://rafb.net/p/dy7VKd46.html
[08:46] <raylu> Machtin: echo will show you what that script is doing. if it works, take out the echo
[08:46] <raylu> _motti_: er, those are normally terms for the same thing, right?
[08:47] <Machtin> raylu: save as bash-script-file?
[08:47] <XiaolinDraconis> ActionParsnip: should i have used chmod on it as well?
[08:47] <_motti_> raylu: If I knew, I wouldn't ask you. I'm searching the web for router configuration.
[08:48] <raylu> Machtin: yes. but i think i screwed that up; one sec
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: you could use: sudo chmod -R 750 /home/<user name>
[08:48] <Machtin> raylu: take your time :) i think "file" should be something like $file, %file, no?
[08:49] <Machtin> and noext next.. i think
[08:49] <XiaolinDraconis> ActionParsnip: i believe i need 644
[08:49] <raylu> Machtin: no and no. noext is a variable
[08:49] <Machtin> ok
[08:49] <raylu> Machtin: and ${file%.htm} strips the last ".htm" http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/refcards.html#AEN21811
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: 6 = read + write, surely you want execute priveledges on your own data?
[08:50] <raylu> Machtin: do these filenames have spaces in them?
[08:50] <_motti_> raylu: here is first line from a documentation about virtual server of some router company "Virtual Server, also referred to as Port forwarding or port mapping can be setup with the router."
[08:50] <Machtin> raylu: nope
[08:50] <raylu> _motti_: ^^. try portforward.com
[08:50] <XiaolinDraconis> ActionParsnip: ooh i dont know what the numbers do i just read 644 at login
[08:50] <raylu> Machtin: http://rafb.net/p/EiSvTq90.html
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: and why does anyone outside your own group need access?
[08:51] <raylu> ActionParsnip: 4 = read, isn't that standard?
[08:51] <Machtin> raylu: thanks :)
[08:51] <XiaolinDraconis> ActionParsnip: i have no idea what the numbers mean
[08:51] <raylu> Machtin: it didn't blow anything up?
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> raylu: on his home folder with his ssh keys and emails and stored firefox passwords, not in my book
[08:52] <Machtin> raylu: didn't test yet
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: 7 = 4 + 2 + 1 == read, write and execute,
[08:52] <chichxongsoc105_> ok
[08:52] <Machtin> raylu: just wondering how to use it..
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: 5 = 4 + 1 = read and execute
[08:52] <raylu> Machtin: put it in a text file and either chmod +x it or run "sh filename"
[08:53] <Machtin> ah, and it just needs to be in that folder?
[08:53] <Machtin> i don't have to give * as argument or sth?
[08:53] <raylu> Machtin: nope. that's what the *.htm is for
[08:53] <raylu> Machtin: you could make it foo/bar/*.htm
[08:53] <Machtin> wonderful, thanks
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: so the owner will have full access, the members of the group owner will have read and execute access, the rest has zero access
[08:54] <dawid> can you tell me where Linux keeps shortcuts and paths to programs in the terminal ?
[08:54] <raylu> dawid: what shortcuts? paths are in $PATH
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> dawid: echo $PATH
[08:54] <Machtin> wonderful.. worked :) thanks raylu
[08:54] <raylu> Machtin: nice
[08:54] <lyhana8> hi, how could I change the mysql user ID correctly ?
[08:54] <lyhana8> actually I change it manually in /etc/passwd and /etc/group and now the server refuse to start
[08:54] <raylu> this sounds familiar...
[08:54] <XiaolinDraconis> ActionParsnip: now its a little clearer
[08:55] <ActionParsnip> raylu: doesnt it just :(
[08:55] <AdvoWork> each day i have to open a terminal, do ssh user@ip then put in a password, then once connected have todo su user, then another command and then another command. Is there any way to automate this at all?
 if i write "mc" it will search for mc in $PATH ?
[08:55] <Boohbah> lyhana8: why would you want to do that?
[08:55] <raylu> AdvoWork: yes, but are you prepared for the security risk?
[08:55] <ActionParsnip> AdvoWork: if you are ssh-ing to an ubuntu box I would use sudo -i
[08:55] <XiaolinDraconis> ActionParsnip: so why not 700?
[08:56] <lyhana8> Boohbah: to share DB among my gentoo and my kubuntu. Work fine with gentoo but not on ubuntu
[08:56] <s3r3n1t7> ActionParsnip, su <user> is only to switch from user to user, no need for the sudo pass on that
[08:56] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: sure if yuo want nobody but the owner to have access (and sudo of course)
[08:56] <raylu> AdvoWork: edit your ~/.ssh/config by adding the following two lines:
[08:56] <bj0> dawid, yes
[08:56] <raylu> AdvoWork: Host 12.34.56.78
[08:56] <raylu> AdvoWork: User asdf
[08:56] <ActionParsnip> s3r3n1t7: true, just used to people thinking sudo su is good
[08:56] <raylu> AdvoWork: that's the not-a-security-risk part.
[08:57] <Boohbah> lyhana8: if you change the uid then any files will still be owned by the old uid. you will have to chown them
[08:57] <ragedracer> sorry to intrude..  is any one here a expert with gnucash?
[08:57] <raylu> lyhana8: um... the other OSs can connect to the mysqld... that's... the point...
[08:57] <s3r3n1t7> ActionParsnip, got the same thoughts ... then read it again and didn't see the sudo there (then again, todo made me read sudo first)
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> s3r3n1t7: yeah same. oh well
[08:58] <lyhana8> raylu: yep i want to work on the same DB on both OS
[08:58] <raylu> lyhana8: right...
[08:58] <raylu> lyhana8: so apps on the other OS open tcp connection the mysqld on the first OS and it gets access to the exact same data
[08:59] <XiaolinDraconis> ActionParsnip: im going to try it again but is there a way to get back to login screen if it fails?
[08:59] <ActionParsnip> raylu: i think we need to find these guides telling users to edit the passwd file, seems quite prevelent
[08:59] <lyhana8> raylu: both OS are on the same laptop
[08:59] <raylu> lyhana8: oh...
[08:59] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: startx once logged in at terminal, or sudo gdm start
[08:59] <raylu> lyhana8: i have no idea what to tell you then.
[08:59] <XiaolinDraconis> x will already be started
[09:00] <XiaolinDraconis> if i login it kinda works
[09:00] <_motti_> raylu: from portforward.com This router has two different sections that allow you to forward ports. One section allows you to forward a range of ports, and the other allows you to forward a single port. To forward a range of ports, click Port Forwarding. To forward a single port, click Virtual Server.
[09:00] <raylu> ActionParsnip: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start might better
[09:00] <XiaolinDraconis> but i get no panel
[09:00] <XiaolinDraconis> or right click
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> raylu: that too ;)
[09:00] <raylu> _motti_: you'll want to forward 22 for now. eventually, you might want to configure passive ftp on a range of ports
[09:00] <lyhana8> where I can find guys working on the mysql's ubuntu version ?
[09:00] <XiaolinDraconis> ctrl+alt+backspace will get me a terminal right?
[09:01] <raylu> lyhana8: #ubuntu-dev, maybe
[09:01] <Machtin> XiaolinDraconis: it will restart your x-server
[09:01] <raylu> XiaolinDraconis: maybe.
[09:01] <Machtin> for a tty try ctrl+alt+f<1-6>
[09:01] <XiaolinDraconis> i couldnt do anything in tty
[09:01] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: sure if its already running
[09:01] <XiaolinDraconis> since user was still logged in and using x
[09:02] <raylu> XiaolinDraconis: ctrl+z will stop a job without killing it
[09:02] <raylu> sometimes.
[09:02] <Machtin> XiaolinDraconis: you might need /etc/init.d/kdm stop
[09:02] <s3r3n1t7> raylu, it will pause a job
[09:02] <beli> lyhana8: mysql ubuntu version?
[09:02] <raylu> s3r3n1t7: technically, it becomes a 'stopped' job. sometimes.
[09:02] <Machtin> +sudo
[09:02] <raylu> s3r3n1t7: and it's sigstop anyway.
[09:02] <badri> hi
[09:02] <lyhana8> beli: yep
[09:03] <s3r3n1t7> raylu, yeah true .. but it's confusing, since most people associate stop with kill
[09:03] <raylu> s3r3n1t7: by the way, which is more powerful, kill or term?
[09:03] <XiaolinDraconis> ok ill go give this a try
[09:03] <beli> lyhana8: mysql devels have their own ubuntu release?
[09:03] <Machtin> i'd say kill!
[09:03] <raylu> beli: no, but ubuntu devels do
[09:03] <s3r3n1t7> raylu, kill can't be blocked, term can
[09:03] <raylu> s3r3n1t7: ok. i can never remember which is which
[09:04] <s3r3n1t7> raylu, assuming you mean kill as in kill -9
[09:04] <beli> raylu: i can't follow you.....any webinformation about that?
[09:04] <raylu> i mean kill as in SIGKILL. i can remember kill -9, but i forget which it sent
[09:04] <AdvoWork> ActionParsnip, why sudo -i?
[09:04] <raylu> beli: almost every single ubuntu package has been at least slightly modified by ubuntu devs
[09:04] <AdvoWork> raylu, i dont want any security risks really, so will editing .ssh/config and doing what you suggested fix that?
[09:04] <raylu> beli: even if it's just adding 'ubuntu' somewhere to the version string
[09:04] <s3r3n1t7> raylu, yeah, -9 sends kill signal, ==>  KILL       9   exit      cannot be blocked
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> AdvoWork: i misread your question, my bad
[09:05] <sarmisak> s3r3n1t7: -9 is SIGKILL
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> AdvoWork: thought you were using sudo su which isnt advised
[09:05] <raylu> AdvoWork: it will make it so that ssh 12.34.56.78 equivalent to ssh asdf@12.34.56.78
[09:05] <lyhana8> beli: what do you mean ?
[09:05] <s3r3n1t7> sarmisak, i know
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> s3r3n1t7: -9 is the biggest hammer, no foolin
[09:05] <raylu> AdvoWork: if you want to avoid typing the ip all the time, you could then make an alias for 'ssh 12.34.56.78' or make an environment variable for 12.34.56.78
[09:05] <s3r3n1t7> ActionParsnip, yup
[09:06] <sarmisak> s3r3n1t7: and with -1 it kills everything
[09:06] <beli> raylu: he was speaking of an ubuntu version done my mysql folks...
[09:06] <s3r3n1t7> sarmisak, i know ....
[09:06] <beli> maybe it was just a language problem then...
[09:06] <raylu> beli: i'm pretty sure that's not what he meant
[09:06] <beli> raylu: thats what i was wondering about
[09:06] <scuser> hi all, could anyone give me a link to download a ubuntu iso image distribution that was shipped with gcc-2.95 ?
[09:07] <beli> lyhana8: what about ubuntus mysql package? any problems?
[09:07] <Boohbah> raylu, AdvoWork: actually i heard of this thing called the Domain Name System which among other things, translates names to ip addresses so you don't have to remember the number. great idea huh?
[09:07] <raylu> ...by 2.95, did you mean 3.3?
[09:07] <exco> who knows an out-of-the-box working draft n (300mbit) wlan usb-stick?
[09:07] <raylu> scuser: as far as i know, not even debian supports that gcc anymore
[09:07]  * beli detex: man 7 signal      for more information about signals
[09:08] <_motti__> raylu: Now, when I try to access my machine using my url I get an empty line
[09:08] <sarmisak> exco: tough one, have you googled for linux compatible hardware lists?
[09:08] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | exco
[09:08] <XiaolinDraconis> tada!
[09:08] <raylu> _motti__: by access, you don't mean 'open the url in firefox,' do you?
[09:08] <lyhana8> beli: yep it seem to have different config than the gentoo one as on gentoo changing: mysql user ID+files permissions was enough
[09:08] <sarmisak> ActionParsnip: that was what I was looking for ;)
[09:08] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: all good
[09:08] <ActionParsnip> ?
[09:08] <scuser> raylu: could I find some distribution with gcc less than 3.3, may be 3.2 or even less
[09:08] <XiaolinDraconis> ty ty
[09:08] <_motti__> raylu no. I mean ftp url
[09:08] <XiaolinDraconis> so far all is good
[09:08] <_motti__> raylu: command line
[09:08] <raylu> scuser: why?
[09:08] <XiaolinDraconis> sept my main menu icon is gone for some reason
[09:09] <beli> lyhana8: enough todo what? what are you going to do?
[09:09] <raylu> _motti__: what do you mean 'your url'?
[09:09] <_motti__> yotam1.myphotos.cc
[09:09] <_motti__> I have listed it on dyndns
[09:09] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: ok well from now on. DO NOT mess with that file. EVER
[09:09] <raylu> XiaolinDraconis: unless it's for fun
[09:09] <XiaolinDraconis> indeed
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: ive used linux for years now and never once had to
[09:10] <_motti__> raylu: yotam1.myphotos.cc
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: can you link me to the page you used as a guide please
[09:10] <XiaolinDraconis> i just didnt like the idea of not being the user who had total control over the system
[09:10] <raylu> _motti__: i see that. are you sure the dns entry points to the right place and the port forwarding is to the right ip?
[09:10] <XiaolinDraconis> lemme check my history
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: you do, with sudo
[09:10] <raylu> XiaolinDraconis: if you wanted that, you  could run windows xp
[09:10] <AdvoWork> Boohbah, not really, i could use that but it goes on ip, typing ssh name is no easier than typing ssh ip but i want to just click it and automate every step
[09:10] <scuser> raylu: I have a source code that was compiled with an old compiler which should be less than 3.3, when I try to use any higher compiler the compiler produces errors, so I installed 2.95.deb and its deps and tried recompilation but things went worse as I received gcc internal error
[09:11] <lyhana8> beli: i'm trying to share DB among gentoo and kubuntu. So i need to have the same user ID for mysql on both system. I change it on both system then i need to change the file permission to the new user ID, i did it. It work fine on gentoo, but not on kubuntu where the server refuse to start
[09:11] <raylu> scuser: you can probably build gcc-2.95 from source... with a higher gcc... maybe...
[09:11] <XiaolinDraconis> raylu: why would you speak such inappropriate words
[09:11] <XiaolinDraconis> children might be present
[09:11] <scuser> raylu: well I tried but the build failed :(
[09:12] <_motti__> raylu: the router is ok. (I'm repeating messages I didn't place your name in them)
[09:12] <raylu> XiaolinDraconis: the point being, part of linux's security is in keeping users users and not giving the permission to muck with system files
[09:12] <simplexio> lyhana8: what error it gives
[09:12] <raylu> scuser: the build of gcc-2.95?
[09:12] <scuser> raylu: yes
[09:12] <simplexio> lyhana8: and are these mysql instances on difffrend computers ?
[09:13] <kaushal> hi
[09:13] <beli> lyhana8: dont mix things....permissions != uid/gid ....
[09:13] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: linux uses proper access and restritedness where it is appropriate, windows default user model is admin which isnt appropriate and why they get so many issues
[09:13] <raylu> _motti__: then i'm not sure. either the dns entry is bad (check with the 'host' command) or your port forwarding isn't set up properly
[09:13] <_motti__> raylu, and nslookup my url give the internal ip of the router
[09:13] <raylu> _motti__: internal ip?
[09:13] <beli> lyhana8: you dont touch the permissions, but switch uid and gid
[09:13] <kaushal> how can i set ignore case while searching for any string uppercase or lowercase in man pages ?
[09:13] <_motti__> raylu: yeah, the ip I use to access my router
[09:13] <raylu> ActionParsnip: well, they fixed that in vista. except it asks you _after_ you try and do something and, consequently, makes people very frustrated
[09:14] <lyhana8> simplexio: the only error is the init script one: 'fail', and I don't understand why I'haven't any log
[09:14] <beli> lyhana8: use chown for that.....did you create a completly new group and user for mysql?
[09:14] <raylu> _motti__: yotam1.myphotos.cc has address 89.139.84.55
[09:14] <raylu> _motti__: that seems correct to me. is that your router's WAN ip?
[09:14] <lyhana8> beli: yeah sorry mix the terms
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> raylu: windows security in that way is garbage, and whats worse is that some apps actually need write access to the %WINDIR% so you have to have some form of admin power, its preposterous
[09:14] <raylu> ActionParsnip: yep.
[09:15] <lyhana8> beli: nop just change the uid of the current mysql
[09:15] <simplexio> lyhana8: cat /etc/init.d/mysql and see what command it uses to start mysql, then use it command to start it and see error, or see /var/log/mysql log file if it exists, or syslog
[09:15] <XiaolinDraconis> here is the one that said to edit sudoers file
[09:15] <XiaolinDraconis> http://bobbyallen.wordpress.com/2007/01/15/how-to-give-a-standard-ubuntu-user-full-root-permissions/
[09:15] <beli> lyhana8: the init scripts are as the name says: scripts.... less /etc/init.d/mysql  and see how mysql is started...do it manually on the command line and you will get some errors
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> raylu: classic example is organizational charts in office 2003, needs access to the windows dir to run. MS fix says "oh make them power users"
[09:15] <beli> lyhana8: the uid or the username?
[09:15] <simplexio> lyhana8: and probably ubuntu tries to start mysql as mysql user, so mysql user gid must be same as gentoo mysql user
[09:15] <XiaolinDraconis> now im looking for the one about editing passwd
[09:16] <lyhana8> beli: the UID was 122 i put 8886
[09:16] <cheshair> hi! i'm having problems with brother mfc680cn printer drivers under ubuntu. i get ps documents printed as row text instead of postscript. do you happen to have any hints?
[09:16] <raylu> lyhana8, beli: most likely because the user it's running as doesn't have permissions to create logs :P
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: can you give me us thelink if you find it, you may also want to contact them yourself to tell him / er of your experience
[09:16] <XiaolinDraconis> will do
[09:16] <simplexio> lyhana8: thought i dont know about mysql, but postgresql uses that configuration. its allways run as postgresql user for better security
[09:17] <lyhana8> raylu: I check that too, and the mysql user was the owner of the log
[09:17] <beli> lyhana8: so lemme explain....what is hardcoded to a file on linux to verify permissions is the uid and the gid....username and group are just parsed from /etc/passwd and /etc/group
[09:17] <s3r3n1t7> XiaolinDraconis, uhm a note about that one, you can probably use the nopasswd function in the visudo file which is a lot safer.
[09:18] <souza> oi
[09:18] <beli> lyhana8: so you have to adjust file/dir permissions to the new uid
[09:18] <souza> oi
[09:18] <lyhana8> beli: I do exactly the same process on gentoo and ubuntu, gentoo work, ubuntu doesn't
[09:18] <beli> lyhana8: and? maybe gentoo isnt verifying stuff on mysqld startup
[09:19] <souza> alguem fala portugue
[09:19] <_motti__> raylu: no, the ip has changed,I still need to configure ez-ipupdate properly. I have update my ip in the dyndns server but I still get connection refused. are you sure that 22 is the ftp port?
[09:19] <beli> lyhana8: gentoo gives the user more control....thats not always good
[09:19] <lyhana8> beli: stuff like what ? the UID ?
[09:19] <Ubersoldat> !pr | souze
[09:19] <Ubersoldat> !ubuntu-pr | souza
[09:19] <souza> oi
[09:19] <raylu> _motti__: er, it's 21
[09:19] <beli> lyhana8: ownership and permissions
[09:19] <Ubersoldat> jeez
[09:19] <raylu> _motti__: if i said 22, sorry. that's sftp :P
[09:19] <beli> lyhana8: just start as root: /usr/sbin/mysqld
[09:19] <_motti__> yeah, I just wiki it.
[09:20] <souza> oi
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> 21 is FTP, 20 is ftp data (wasteful protocol)
[09:20] <_motti__> so sftp my url should work?
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> souza: what?
[09:20] <lyhana8> beli: they do, i got error that make me realise that I should update the file UID
[09:20] <souza> aluguem fala portuges
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> !pt | souza
[09:20] <_motti__> ActionParsnip: she is Portuguese
[09:20] <raylu> _motti__: no, you don't have an sftp daemon running
[09:20] <mimiloon> hi everybody, i'm new to linux and i have a small problem with my wifi card; it works but not to it's full potential. it's atheros N series (AR5008 (AR5416)). it doesn't use the N protocol in ubuntu 8.1, any thought of getting this to improve? i have the drivers from windows but when i try to use the ndiswrapper, i'm unable to get it working
[09:20] <beli> lyhana8: just start it manually now and give me errors
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> _motti__: thats what !pt outputs in ;)
[09:21] <_motti__> raylu: ok, router time
[09:21] <Don_Miguel> Xcell, see my PM, please
[09:21] <_motti__> ActionParsnip: ok, sorry
[09:21] <beli> lyhana8: btw....did you alter the username too?
[09:21] <souza> nao sei como fazer isso
[09:21] <souza> so novo aqui
[09:22] <lyhana8> beli: the mysql user name ? no
[09:22] <beli> lyhana8: ok
[09:23] <souza> alguem fala minha libgua ai
[09:23] <Don_Miguel> raylu, got a moment free ?
[09:23] <souza> yes

[09:24] <ActionParsnip> souza: Eu não falo o português
[09:24] <lyhana8> beli: I'm doing the process for the 2nd time (updating UID)
[09:24] <souza> bacana
[09:24] <souza> vc fala sim
[09:24] <souza> cx usa um tradutor?
[09:24] <beli> lyhana8: why not just start mysqld from console yourself as i told you?
[09:24] <Don_Miguel> raylu, thanks ... I tried Xcell's suggestion about using synaptic   'fix broken' and got ---- when synaptic goes to   fix broken packages/dependencies I get the error message      dpkg  unable to fill with padding .. no space left on device      /var/lib/dpkg/updates/tmp.1           but ...     the Ubuntu 'Wubi partition' shows 14.6 GB  ...   there should be LOTS of space ...

[09:24] <mimiloon> i have a small problem with my wifi card; it works but not to it's full potential. it's atheros N series (AR5008 (AR5416)). it doesn't use the N protocol in ubuntu 8.1, any thought of getting this to improve? i have the drivers from windows but when i try to use the ndiswrapper, i'm unable to get it working
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> Don_Miguel: sudo apt-get clean

[09:25] <raylu> mimiloon: describe what yo mean by 'unable to get it working'
[09:25] <raylu> *you
[09:25] <lyhana8> beli: but the `find ./ -uid 122 -exec chown mysql {} \;` is not finish
[09:25] <Mewtwo> I have to find out the error I got while trying to compile Peng
[09:26] <souza> alguem ai pode me tira uma duvida ..nao sei cmo entra na rede com ubuntu esto na maquina virtual  meu comando operacional e xp com ele eu entro na rede
[09:26] <beli> lyhana8: kill all mysql instances first
[09:26] <lenux_> anyone here
[09:26] <grawity> lenux_: um, yes.
[09:27] <souza> alguem ai pode me ajudar
[09:27] <lenux_> where is here
[09:27] <_motti___> raylu: Ok. I can accees my machine using ftp from the outside world
[09:27] <raylu> _motti___: congrats
[09:28] <sliverchair> i'm gonna start an Ubuntu user's group at my university. UST Ubuntu User's Group (UUUg) :D
[09:28] <beli> lyhana8: you have sth. running on 3306 already....i guess its a previously started mysqld...check ps -ef | grep mysqld    and kill these jobs before you retry to start manually
[09:28] <XiaolinDraconis> ActionParsnip i must have been logged as root when i googled it
[09:28] <lenux_> that's cool
[09:28] <raylu> sliverchair: ust = ?
[09:28] <_motti___> how exiting is that(!!!) now, do you have any idea how do I configure my machine to update dyndns? I have tried to use ez-ipupdate but I can't find how to auto run it or how to tell it to use my router ip address
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: oh well, no matter, stay off root, its unnecessary
[09:29] <sliverchair> raylu: University of Santo Tomas, it's in PH
[09:29] <raylu> _motti___: i used no-ip for a while and their update tool ran. it was a bit confusing, but it worked
[09:29] <sliverchair> ActionParsnip: gnome is much better, everything in KDE4 it big,shining and crowded, IMO
[09:29] <raylu> sliverchair: i got the PH part :D how large is the campus population and how many *nix users are there? what OS's does the computing services support?
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> sliverchair: i prefer lxde or fluxbox
[09:30] <Don_Miguel> raylu, and why the heck does    dpkg or ANYTHING  try to fill that space with padding ??
[09:30] <lyhana8> beli: currently nothing, but the uid update hasn't finish
[09:30] <raylu> Don_Miguel: i have no idea.
[09:30] <beli> lyhana8: did you start it as the root user?
[09:31] <Nom-> Anyone know of a way to make an automated installer CD create partitions starting at block 128 instead of 1 ?
[09:31] <Nom-> This is to align with raid
[09:31] <Don_Miguel> raylu, Thanks  :-)
[09:31] <sliverchair> raylu: nah, i just got 5 of my clasmates use ubuntu, :D
[09:31] <Boohbah> Nom-: you should be able to select manual partition configuration
[09:32] <raylu> Boohbah: automated :P
[09:32] <beli> Nom-: sfdisk has many command line options...check its manual
[09:33] <mimiloon> raylu: sorry about the delay; i typed this: ndiswrapper -i [the .inf file, then sudo modprobe ndiswrapper, then sudo ndiswrapper -l, but i don't know what to do after
[09:34] <raylu> mimiloon: generally, you want to remove the module that your card is currently using first. "lsmod -v" will show you that
[09:34] <lyhana8> beli: `/usr/sbin/mysqld` did it as root
[09:34] <souza> ola
[09:34] <raylu> mimiloon: also, modprobe -l shows you the currently installed ndiswrapper cards, so doing that after modprobing is sort of pointless
[09:34] <souza> como entra numa sala no brasil?
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> raylu: or lsmod
[09:34] <raylu> mimiloon: finally, you need to do "sudo ndiswrapper -a" before modprobing... i think
[09:35] <ActionParsnip> raylu: ndiswrapper -l
[09:35] <raylu> ActionParsnip: lsmod will show you all the modules, but you have to guess which is for your card
[09:35] <raylu> ActionParsnip: and i'm not thinking -l, i'm thinking the one that writes the module deps
[09:35] <raylu> ActionParsnip: which, iirc, is -a

[09:35] <imyousuf> Hi
[09:36] <beli> lyhana8: fix permissions to the data dir
[09:36] <starenka> hi i've just switched to jaunty, but i got grub 22 error BEFORE i even get to menu (clean install over hardy partition), how to solve it?
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> raylu: lsmod shows each module + its deps on the right if thats what you mean?
[09:37] <beli> lyhana8: did you manually mount that stuff? maybe you did mount it read-only...what filesystem is it using?
[09:37] <imyousuf> I am trying out the Jaunty and I had a generic question
[09:37] <imyousuf> I have ext3 partitions which when moundted are writeable by 'root' only. But I wanted to be writeable by any user belonging to 'plugdev' group. Any idea how I can do that from fstab? I want to avoid the chmod command everytime I start my laptop.
[09:37] <raylu> mimiloon: oops, i meant "sudo ndiswrapper -m"
[09:37] <raylu> ActionParsnip: it shows the deps, but it doesn't show which one is the wireless module
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> raylu: ahhh
[09:37] <raylu> ActionParsnip: and ndiswrapper -m informs modprobe about the deps it's going to have... i think
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> imyousuf: http://pastebin.com/f32b51c7a
[09:38] <movedx> Can anyone suggest a really light-weight web browser that supports basic CSS AND JavaScript? I'm using Opera at present but I'm on an old Pentium-4 machine with 512MB of RAM so I want to make switches between multiple pages a bit quicker.
[09:38] <mimiloon> raylu: how to i remove it, if the current module is ath9k
[09:38] <lyhana8> beli: it's mounted at boot, it'ß a reiserfs
[09:38] <raylu> mimiloon: for now, "sudo invoke-rc.d networking stop", "sudo modprobe -r ath9k"
[09:39] <psychic> anyone have a suggestion on what version of would be best on a toshiba satelite with 2.66 ghz processor and 512 megs of ram with on board graphics either xubuntu or ubuntu intrepid latest release or other suggestions ?
[09:39] <beli> lyhana8: make sure mysql user/group has write rights for /mnt/data/system/share/mysqldb/
[09:39] <raylu> mimiloon: in the long term, add it to the blacklist file in /etc/modprobe.d
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> imyousuf: i have a seperate partition on that system. formatted ext3 for /home, it is user writable, if you duplicate the mount options in your /etc/fstab then it will be mounted as user writable
[09:39] <raylu> mimiloon: also, is french your native language?
[09:39] <imyousuf> ActionParsnip: trying it out
[09:39] <lyhana8> beli: drwxr-xr-x 12 mysql mysql 896 2009-04-07 18:07 mysqldb
[09:39] <Shininggg> ok i recently did a cli install from a usb stick and now i get grub error 17 whenever i boot without the usb stick inserted
[09:40] <mimiloon> raylu: english, why you ask?
[09:40] <raylu> mimiloon: from your hostname; nevermind.
[09:40] <imyousuf> ActionParsnip: the relatime option is set by default but that makes the partition writeable by root only :(
[09:40] <mimiloon> raylu: oh ok
[09:40] <beli> lyhana8: id mysql    --> show me result
[09:40] <psychic> and also when i boot up with xubuntu my computer works fine it runs and all.. but i think it could run better  when it goes through the boot up process it says chipset not compatible or recognized or somthing an one got some pointers?
[09:41] <lyhana8> beli: cat /etc/passwd | grep mysql mysql:x:8886:8886:MySQL Server:/var/lib/mysql:/bin/false
[09:41] <lyhana8> beli: cat /etc/group | grep mysql mysql:x:8886:lyhana8
[09:41] <mimiloon> raylu: thanks for your help, i'll try the instructions you've given me and get back to u
[09:41] <eusu_kefuin> Hi Ho!
[09:41] <eusu_kefuin> Anyone here familiar with NTP configuration?
[09:42] <beli> lyhana8: useless use of cat award ;)
[09:42] <raylu> lyhana8: grep takes a file as the 3rd argument :D
[09:42] <beli> lyhana8: "id mysql" was a command
[09:42] <lyhana8> beli: oh~ don't know that, thanks
[09:42] <raylu> eusu_kefuin: server or client?
[09:42] <beli> s/was/is/
[09:42] <lyhana8> beli uid=8886(mysql) gid=8886(mysql) groups=8886(mysql)
[09:43] <eusu_kefuin> raylu: server
[09:43] <raylu> eusu_kefuin: woah. good luck.
[09:43] <psychic> has anyone seen my questions?
[09:43] <beli> lyhana8: mount |grep share
[09:44] <casper_> Any one know how to get java??
[09:44] <lyhana8> beli: I mount /mnt/data
[09:44] <eusu_kefuin> raylu: Well, basically I have a machine that is connected to the Internet to which all other machines in the local subnet will sync to.
[09:44] <raylu> psychic: ubuntu should run fine. /var/log/dmesg should allow you to review bootup logs
[09:44] <imyousuf> I have ext3 partitions which when moundted are writeable by 'root' only. But I wanted to be writeable by any user belonging to 'plugdev' group. Any idea how I can do that from fstab? I want to avoid the chmod command everytime I start my laptop. (re-run)
[09:44] <beli> lyhana8: ok... mount |grep data then ;)
[09:44] <raylu> !java | casper_
[09:44] <lyhana8> beli: /dev/sda6 on /mnt/data type reiserfs (rw,relatime)
[09:44] <psychic> i ubuntu as compared to xubuntu?
[09:45] <beli> lyhana8: ok, its mounted fine...so it still has to be a permission problem
[09:45] <casper_> have no clue wat u just said
[09:45] <eusu_kefuin> raylu: I have googled for this matter but I encounter a hard wall.
[09:45] <raylu> imyousuf: man mount. there's some option for gid, i think
[09:45] <beli> lyhana8: ls -alsF /mnt/ |grep data
[09:45] <imyousuf> raylu: cldnt find one for ext :(
[09:45] <eusu_kefuin> raylu: Basically, in this machine, I set up: server ntp.ubuntu.com and server 127.127.1.0
[09:45] <lyhana8> beli: 0 drwxr-xr-x 14 lyhana8 users 400 2009-04-05 20:10 data/
[09:46] <psychic> ubuntu intrepid "latest release" as compared to the way it runs with xubuntu on it?
[09:46] <beli> lyhana8: ok walk the dirs and check that each dir has at least r-w for the rest of the world
[09:46] <eusu_kefuin> raylu: The problem is that in this setting, the machine does not sync its clock to ntp.ubuntu.com successfully.
[09:46] <raylu> imyousuf: i think the 'user' fstab option is what you want. it allows users to mount
[09:47] <Shock> anyone here who can help me build the kernel packages with PAE enabled?
[09:47] <lyhana8> beli: you mean all parent dir should've u+rw right ?
[09:47] <eusu_kefuin> raylu: But, if I remove `server 127.127.1.0', it works.
[09:47] <psychic> how do i use the terminal to upgrade to ubuntu intrepid
[09:47] <imyousuf> raylu: hmm, giving it a try
[09:47] <beli> lyhana8: or if you dont mind do: chmod -R 755 /mnt/data
[09:47] <raylu> psychic: sorry, i don't usually catch messages without my name in them
[09:47] <raylu> !upgrade | psychic
[09:47] <eusu_kefuin> raylu: Hmmm.... okay, I have to find out it myself, I guess.
[09:47] <psychic> o sorry
[09:47] <raylu> eusu_kefuin: yeah, i have no idea
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> raylu: damn you fast
[09:47] <psychic> thank u
[09:48] <eusu_kefuin> raylu: That's okay.
[09:48] <beli> lyhana8: no u+rw is user read write.....o+rw is others read write
[09:48] <Shininggg> recently did a cli install via sub, now when i boot without usb inserted i get grub error 17. If i boot with the usb inserted, i see all my booting partition?? any idea?
[09:48] <imyousuf> raylu: no use, same outcome :(
[09:48] <Mewtwo> Whoo, I feel dumb. I can't figure out how to install a GNOME theme.
[09:48] <okey666> hello, I have upgraded to 9.04. I also have another partition which has 9.04 on it too, but with ext4. I wanted to get a file from that partition, but when I try to use it in my upgraded 9.04, it tells me that ext is not supported. Anyone have any ideas?
[09:48] <raylu> ActionParsnip: :D
[09:48] <eusu_kefuin> Hi Ho! Anyone here is familiar with NTP server configuration?
[09:48] <beli> lyhana8: or use the mask 755 to set rwx  rx  rx
[09:48] <raylu> imyousuf: even when it's mounted by a user?
[09:49] <beli> lyhana8: take care to use chmod -R  correctly....it can fuxxor a lot :)
[09:49] <raylu> eusu_kefuin: there is #ntp
[09:49] <imyousuf> raylu: a normal user can not execute mount -a :(
[09:49] <imyousuf> raylu: can they?
[09:49] <okey666> Mewtwo: Download the file to your desktop, go system>>prefs>>apperance>>install
[09:49] <raylu> imyousuf: m...i thought that's what the 'user' option was for. i'm not entirely clear on it myself
[09:49] <lyhana8> beli: they all have the read and write acces for tjhe user (lyhana8)
[09:49] <raylu> imyousuf: but maybe an explicit 'mount /dev/asdf' is enough
[09:49] <khunt> I have drive errors and when i run fsck it complains about the superblock
[09:49] <eusu_kefuin> raylu: Oh, thank you for your info! I didn't know that before ;-)
[09:49] <eusu_kefuin> raylu: Really, I mean it :-)
[09:50] <eusu_kefuin> raylu: So, thanks.
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> imyousuf: you could just reboot to check all is well from a cold boot
[09:50] <raylu> eusu_kefuin: i actually just guessed and found the channel existed and had an appropriate topic :P
[09:50] <beli> lyhana8: again....they need rw for the mysql group and/or for the rest of the world...why dont you listen?
[09:50] <eusu_kefuin> raylu: Hahaha.... thanks! :-)
[09:50] <raylu> i also found out about /msg asis today :D
[09:50] <luciano_dj> wuat is the best bluetooth software for ubuntu x64 ??
[09:50] <beli> as mysql != lyhana it doesnt matter what the user permissions are
[09:51] <okey666> anyone know why I can't mount ext4 in my 9.04?
[09:51] <lyhana8> beli: you mean all parent folder should be own by mysql o.O
[09:51] <beli> lyhana8: NO...not owned...accessible
[09:51] <beli> lyhana8: run: chmod -R 755 /mnt/data
[09:51] <imyousuf> ActionParsnip: tried that as well :(
[09:52] <sarmisak> beli: apparmor may be causing some trouble also
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> beli: i'd add a sudo to it just incase
[09:53] <beli> sarmisak: hmm right...but first i will make sure the permissions fit
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> imyousuf: can we see your fstab please
[09:53] <beli> ActionParsnip: i will kill him if he doesnt do it with privs ;)
[09:54] <BlackDalek> Anyone know how to get sound out of all 6 channels of an external USB 5.1 sound card instead of just the default 2 channels?
[09:54] <raylu> BlackDalek: no, but speaker-test is fun to play with
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> beli: if its not his file, the permissions will not be updated
[09:55] <Bragex9> Why does not the NVIDIA driver allow me to set the correct screen resolution? All that happens when I set the correct resolution is that the screen gets bigger and I have to scroll sideways and upways to see all of the desktop...
[09:55] <imyousuf> sure
[09:55] <beli> ActionParsnip: i know ;) its his file and hes doing it as superuser...but you are right....i have to think on everything atm
[09:55] <okey666> anyone know why my 9.04 wont mount ext4?
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> BlackDalek: http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/the-simple-way-to-get-51-surround-sound-audio-working-in-ubuntu/
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> beli: np :D
[09:56] <BlackDalek> I managed to get all 6 channels working on the internal 5.1 PCI audio card by modifying the /etc/pulse/daemon.conf but that does not seem to work for the external USB card....
[09:56] <okey666> it gives, mount: unknown filesystem type 'ext4'
[09:56] <lyhana8> beli: same
[09:56] <luciano_dj> anyone know how to connect to my home theather and listen mp3 via bluettoth ??
[09:56] <beli> lyhana8: same errors?
[09:57] <lyhana8> beli: yep
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> okey666: are you running jaunty?
[09:57] <beli> lyhana8: touch /mnt/data/system/share/mysqldb/lyhana8.lower-test
[09:57] <okey666> ActionParsnip: yes
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> !jaunty | okey666
[09:57] <imyousuf> ActionParsnip, raylu: http://pastebin.com/m4e3eb9df my fstab file
[09:58] <okey666> ActionParsnip: thanks
[09:58] <lyhana8> beli: same error o_O
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> imyousuf: and what partition are we concentrating on?
[09:58] <lyhana8> beli: i chown the file
[09:58] <imyousuf> sda6 and sda7 ActionParsnip
[09:58] <beli> lyhana8: no i just wanted to know if you can create it
[09:59] <XiaolinDraconis> ActionParsnip: so heres my first error
[09:59] <XiaolinDraconis> http://imagebin.ca/img/oXK1qT.png
[09:59] <XiaolinDraconis> guess all is not well
[09:59] <XiaolinDraconis> i got that after attempting to update
[09:59] <beli> lyhana8: so it has to be an apparmor issue
[10:00] <benjamin__> hi all
[10:00] <beli> lyhana8: sudo vi /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld
[10:00] <XiaolinDraconis> anyone have a clue on what that error means?
[10:00] <sarmisak> beli, lyhana8: if this is not a production box just remove apparmor, it's much faster
[10:00] <sarmisak> beli, lyhana8: and simpler ;)
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> imyousuf: does realtime on its own not work instead of all those options?
[10:01] <eldenz> where does apt store its .deb files?
[10:01] <raylu> XiaolinDraconis: that you need to paste your sudoers
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> imyousuf: backup the fstab file too, so you can play to your hearts content
[10:01] <XiaolinDraconis> kk
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> eldenz: /var/cace/apt
[10:01] <beli> sarmisak, lyhana8: i would use apparmor if its not a big load box...just adjust the acl
[10:01] <eldenz> thx ActionParsnip
[10:01] <benjamin__> I just bought a usb tv box
[10:01] <raylu> eldenz: in the future, locate will help
[10:01] <imyousuf> ActionParsnip: I already have it backed up and as u can c sda6 uses relatime and that is accessible by root only :(
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> its /var/cache/apt  sorry
[10:01] <benjamin__> and was wondering if anyone could help me getting it to work on ubuntu
[10:02] <lyhana8> beli: the acl ?
[10:02] <eldenz> figured :)
[10:02] <raylu> imyousuf: i see you went all the way :D
[10:02] <beli> lyhana8: access control list
[10:03] <imyousuf> raylu: you bet ya ;) :-D
[10:03] <beli> lyhana8: add two lines to the apparmor config:
[10:03] <Shock> anyone here who can help me build the kernel packages with PAE enabled?
[10:04] <lyhana8> beli:  /mnt/data/system/share/mysqldb, w ?
[10:04] <imyousuf> ActionParsnip: any suggestion?
[10:04] <beli> lyhana8: rw
[10:05] <lyhana8> and what'is the other line ?
[10:05] <beli> lyhana8:  /mnt/data/system/share/mysqldb rw,
[10:05] <beli> lyhana8: and:  /mnt/data/system/share/mysqldb/** rwk
[10:05] <beli> lyhana8: then restart apparmor and start mysqld
[10:05] <raylu> imyousuf: so, technically, the 'correct linux kosher way'
[10:06] <XiaolinDraconis> i cant sudo
[10:06] <imyousuf> raylu: guess so
[10:06] <raylu> imyousuf: is to create a directory inside that partition and give that to the user
[10:06] <raylu> XiaolinDraconis: but you can su because you set that 1 char password, right?
[10:06] <BusMaster> i need to install some i386 debs on my amd64 intrepid setup. I have installed ia32-libs. Now do I just need to do a dpkg --force-install on hte i386 debs or do I need to extract them someplace using dpkg -X ?
[10:06] <XiaolinDraconis> no i changed the password now
[10:07] <raylu> XiaolinDraconis: but you can su, right?
[10:07] <XiaolinDraconis> but g is not in the sudoers list was the error i got trying to sudo
[10:07] <XiaolinDraconis> ill try
[10:07]  * raylu crosses fingers
[10:07] <lyhana8> beli: the default config are :
[10:07] <lyhana8>   /var/lib/mysql/ r,  /var/lib/mysql/** rwk,
[10:07] <XiaolinDraconis> if i cant i can always login as root
[10:07] <lyhana8> beli: so r and not rw
[10:07] <imyousuf> raylu: but the dir itself is created by the root and then he has to assign chmod/chown :(
[10:07] <beli> lyhana8: ok try it with just r
[10:07] <imyousuf> thats the thing I wanted to avoid raylu :(
[10:07] <raylu> imyousuf: but you only have to do that once
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> imyousuf: i'd have thought the sda6 equiv line would be fine, its identical to mine
[10:08] <beli> lyhana8: but it doesnt really matter...think of what a directory +w does
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> imyousuf: hove you tried chmod and chown to give the files to the user
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> imyousuf: make it the owner
[10:08] <benjamin__> I bought the "Super Digital Video" Glaring series and I can't find appropriate drivers
[10:08] <benjamin__> any ideas?
[10:09] <imyousuf> rayly, ActionParsnip, let me try it once and then coming back
[10:09] <server_> dd
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> benjamin__: never heard of it, what is it
[10:09] <beli> sarmisak: how much is apparmor slowing down things?
[10:09] <XiaolinDraconis>  /su root visudo
[10:09] <XiaolinDraconis> cannot execute binary file
[10:09] <benjamin__> it's USb tv box
[10:09] <benjamin__> so I can output to my TV
[10:10] <_motti__> raylu: I have found out that some router(including mine) support the dyndns website. I have configured it but I don't know how to test it. any idea?
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: use gksudo <command>   or sudo <command> (sudo is for command line apps only, gksudo is for graphical apps)
[10:10] <raylu> _motti__: keep unplugging the router until you get a new ip :P
[10:11] <lyhana8> beli: start well, fail to stop...
[10:11] <Slart> XiaolinDraconis: su isn't really recommended in ubuntu.. tried sudo visudo?
[10:11] <lyhana8> beli: http://pastebin.com/d3f1ea9d3
[10:11] <XiaolinDraconis> im not authorized
[10:11] <XiaolinDraconis> thats why i tried su
[10:11] <dawid>  have any idea why linux sometimes doesnt load laptop keyboard and touchpad? Keys are working in Grub menu, but they are not working during and after booting...
[10:11] <Boohbah> XiaolinDraconis: sudo
[10:11] <mimiloon> raylu: i forgot to mention: i have 2 wifi cards hooked up to the computer; one is built in (abg) and the other is pmcia card (N); i was able to remove the ath9k driver from the pcmcia card but the built-in card it still active (wlan0). when i type the command 'sudo ndiswrapper, it wrote info about wlan0
[10:12] <XiaolinDraconis> i cant
[10:12] <XiaolinDraconis> im not authorized
[10:12] <Slart> XiaolinDraconis: if you get an error message please just give us the verbatim error message
[10:12] <Slart> XiaolinDraconis: include what you tried running too
[10:12] <XiaolinDraconis> ill have to login on root account to fix this
[10:12] <professor_> is it safe to leave remote desktop running (VNC) via port forward to the Internet?
[10:12] <raylu> mimiloon: pcmcia... i haven't heard that in a looong time
[10:12] <Slart> XiaolinDraconis: the root account doesn't have a password by default so you can't login to it
[10:12] <imyousuf> raylu, ActionParsnip
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: then boot back to root console and add you user to the admin group
[10:12] <XiaolinDraconis> i am admin
[10:13] <raylu> mimiloon: anyway, you might want to ask someone for help; i'm going to leave soon
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: if you arent in the admin group, you arent
[10:13] <beli> lyhana8: google for that issue, i am afk now
[10:13] <XiaolinDraconis> ill have to edit the sudoers file from root account i think
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: run   groups   it will tell you
[10:13] <XiaolinDraconis> i know im in the admin group
[10:13] <imyousuf> sorry ActionParsnip, raylu - executing chown did it :)
[10:13] <Co_Pendiam> gorontalo
[10:13] <raylu> imyousuf: ^^
[10:13] <mimiloon> raylu: thanks for your help
[10:13] <raylu> imyousuf: but now you have an extra directory in your path
[10:13] <marko-_--> is ext4 working ok on the 2.6.27-14 kernel ?
[10:14] <XiaolinDraconis> brb im ill be back aas root
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: run groups to check
[10:14] <imyousuf> with the same mount options as in pastebin and no extra dir - raylu, ActionParsnip. I set the chown to the mounted points directly :)
[10:14] <lyhana8> beli: great thanks :D
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> imyousuf: great :D
[10:14] <professor_> anyone?
[10:14] <badfish69> Active Triggers: !duke !nukem !quote !addquote
[10:14] <XiaolinDraconis> g adm dialout fax cdrom floppy tape audio dip video plugdev scanner fuse lpadmin admin sambashare
[10:14] <imyousuf> but the chmod/chown is required after mounting the disks ActionParsnip, raylu
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> imyousuf: every time?
[10:15] <ikonia> professor_: anyone what ?
[10:15] <_motti__> raylu: I think it  worked thanks. more to come
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> imyousuf: should be ok now, try a cold boot to test
[10:15] <XiaolinDraconis> the link i gave you guys about editing sudoers file
[10:15] <imyousuf> ActionParsnip: I already did that and its not required after cold reboot :)
[10:15] <XiaolinDraconis> i must have messed something up
[10:15] <professor_> is it safe to leave VNC running (remote desktop) via port forward to the Internet
[10:15] <innociv> How do I check what is running on port 80?
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> imyousuf: sweet, you reached the gold
[10:16] <professor_> so I can remote desktop in when I'm away
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> innociv: netstat -a
[10:16] <ikonia> badfish69: what active triggers for what are you talking about ?
[10:16] <ikonia> innociv: it's a webserver
[10:16] <imyousuf> ActionParsnip: hehe, thanks a lot, thanks to raylu too :)
[10:16] <Slart> professor_: if you can remote desktop what keeps the rest of the world from doing the same?
[10:16] <raylu> _motti__: ok, good luck. it looks like you're setting up approximately what i did when i first really got into linux
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: if you run groups when you are your user you will see what groups it is in. the admin group gives the use of sudo
[10:16] <XiaolinDraconis> g adm dialout fax cdrom floppy tape audio dip video plugdev scanner fuse lpadmin admin sambashare
[10:17] <professor_> I thought the password protection and encryption was sufficient but I presume port scanners could find it and hack in?
[10:17] <XiaolinDraconis> thats from groups
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: is that as you are logged in now or as your normal user?
[10:17] <innociv> ikonia, i know..
[10:17] <innociv> but i use both lighttpd and apache
[10:17] <Slart> professor_: the password would protect a little bit.. not sure about the encryption part..
[10:17] <XiaolinDraconis> this is me now my normal account
[10:17] <innociv> and an error message returned apache on port 80
[10:17] <ikonia> innociv: then look at which one is running
[10:17] <innociv> lighttpd should be port 80 and apache on 8080
[10:17] <ikonia> innociv: telnet to it
[10:18] <ikonia> innociv: check the config files
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: then something is seriously wrong
[10:18] <Slart> professor_: make sure you choose a secure password.
[10:18] <innociv> gahhh netstat -a returned a ton
[10:18] <professor_> from the wiki "ou should set an SSH server up as discussed in the SSH guide and configure a VNC server that you can start in so-called once mode, as described below. When you have set up your SSH and VNC servers, you can use SSH to log in to your computer over the Internet, start your VNC server, and use port-forwarding to securely access the VNC server. "
[10:18] <XiaolinDraconis> i have 4 accounts .... 1 is root 2 are admins and 1 is unprivied
[10:18] <badfish69> disregard
[10:18] <professor_> random password is no problem..
[10:18]  * badfish69 sucks cock
[10:18] <ikonia> innociv: netstat -a | grep LIST shows all listening thinks, but that won't help you identify
[10:18] <Slart> bye bye badfish
[10:19] <professor_> I guess that means I should configure a SSH server and log in via terminal to start VNC when I need it or something
[10:19] <professor_> seems complicated
[10:19] <innociv> hm yeah that isn't good
[10:19] <ikonia> cyrylm: can I help you ? any reason your requesting ctcp info from me ?
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: you have seriously borked your system if members of admin cannot use sudo
[10:19] <scuser> hi all, any help with this error http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/146797/ ?
[10:20] <XiaolinDraconis> i just need to return sudoers file to original
[10:20] <XiaolinDraconis> .... i think
[10:20] <professor_> the Ubuntu Wiki advises against running VNC over the Internet
[10:20] <cyrylm> ikonia: just checking  :)
[10:20] <professor_> damn
[10:20] <ikonia> cyrylm: checking what ?
[10:20] <cyrylm> Your local time ;)
[10:20] <grawity> ActionParsnip: that isn't borking yet - other distros don't even have an 'admin' group.
[10:21] <dawid>  have any idea why linux sometimes doesn't load laptop keyboard and touchpad ? Keys are working in Grub menu, but they are not working during booting and after boot in KDE
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> grawity: true, but thats differnt distros, so is different
[10:21] <Ubersoldat> professor_: that because VNC is not encrypted, you can always use a SSH tunnel and get over it
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> scuser: have you installed build-essential
[10:22] <macvr> hi all... need some help editing this file>>> /usr/lib/notify-osd/notify-osd its a executable (application/x-executable) file , how do i open it to edit the file?
[10:22] <XiaolinDraconis> puppylinux default account is root/no passwd
[10:22] <Ubersoldat> macvr: why do you want to do that?
[10:22] <scuser> ActionParsnip: yes
[10:22] <grawity> ikonia: reminder, CTCPs are for your IRC client, not for the user (you). If your client shows them annoyingly, it isn't cyrylm's fault.
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> macvr: gksudo gedit /usr/lib/notify-osd/notify-osdm  if you want to use a text editor. If its just a script this is fine, if its a binary, it wont work
[10:23] <XiaolinDraconis> ill brb im loggin out and coming back as root then ill get this turned around
[10:23] <ikonia> grawity: reminder - I'm not asking you a question, I'm asking a user why he is ASKING my client for information
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> scuser: and do you have all the -dev dependancies of the app?
[10:23] <macvr> ActionParsnip: i had tried that but its a binary... !
[10:24] <scuser> ActionParsnip: well I don't know that I have nothing to say which -dev dependencies that the app needs
[10:24] <macvr> Ubersoldat:  i thought that that was the file for the notification settings...  to edit it!
[10:24] <ikonia> grawity: and FYI: if I'm displaying displeasure at it - it's best for you to not do it too
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> scuser: to compile apps you need all the dependancies it needs in dev format so its functinality can be compiled in, the outputs saying that certain things are undefined highlights this
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> scuser: you need to find out what gives the functionality for each error and install that app and its -dev file
[10:25] <scuser> ActionParsnip: is there a way to know so or just try and error ?
[10:25] <professor_> VNC supports encryption, not sure if that is sufficient though
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> scuser: websearch an error, see what pops up
[10:26] <s3r3n1t7> ActionParsnip, apt-get build-dep doesn't work? (just dropped in, not sure what the initial error was
[10:26] <axyjo> hi all, can some bash wizard help me out? i want to recursively remove all files, except for the .svn folder, and except for one particular subfolder. someone did this for me before using find, but i don't remember how to do it now. thanks.
[10:26] <scuser> ActionParsnip: ok, thank you for your time :)
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> axyjo: could just cp it out, empty the folder, then copy it back
[10:28] <axyjo> ActionParsnip: there are many subfolders, so i'd prefer a script. + the .svn folder is hidden
[10:28] <Boohbah> axyjo: find . -prune .svn | xargs rm -f
[10:28] <innociv> in apache2 on ubuntu, where would Listen go?..
[10:28] <thahauss> I recently formatted a slave drive and I can create folders using terminal on it, but I cannot using the File Browser, when I right click the options "create folder", "create document", "clean up by name", and "paste" are all greyed out. Any Ideas?
[10:28] <axyjo> Boohbah: thanks, i'll try it out
[10:28] <s3r3n1t7> Boohbah, doesn't that remove all the .svn folders?
[10:28] <Boohbah> s3r3n1t7: no
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> axyjo: doesnt matter if its hidden or not, all folders starting with . are hidden
[10:30] <Ubersoldat> macvr: well, it's a binary file, so you can't edit it
[10:31] <axyjo> Boohbah: I get an error. "find: .svn: unknown option"
[10:32] <lyhana8> hi, is there any identi.ca client avaible on kubuntu ?
[10:33] <stetho> Hi. Have a PC (P4) that was running another distro. I'm trying to install Server 8.10 on it. Power on, boot from CD, choose language, choose "Install Ubuntu Server" - at this point the machine reboots. I'm guessing it's a hardware problem or incompatibility but thought I'd ask if anyone has seen this before I start stripping bits out to find the culprit.
[10:34] <ikonia> stetho: sounds like a hadware issue
[10:35] <stetho> ikonia: I agree but I've never seen Ubuntu (or other distro) die before it's even started the install.
[10:35] <ikonia> stetho: I've seen it many times - as to install you need a running OS to run the installers, and if the installer makes a call the hardware doesn't like, it restarts
[10:37] <stetho> OK. I'll have to check it by elimination then. Dull :-)
[10:37] <Ubersoldat> stetho: did you try booting to the live system?
[10:39] <stetho> That's the problem. Actually - I didn't say it explicitly, I apologise :-) I can boot the CentOS that was on there and I can boot from Kubuntu Live CD. Server dies as soon as I choose Install.
[10:39] <innociv> is apache2.conf the same as httpd.conf?..
[10:39] <ziroday> innociv: yes
[10:40] <mun> hi
[10:40] <Ubersoldat> stetho: well, you could try installing from the LiveCD then get rid of X and install the server packages
[10:40] <mun> does anyone know how to merge two directories together using shell?
[10:40] <Ubersoldat> innociv: it depends
[10:40] <innociv> Do i need Listen 8080 in apache2.conf when i have <VirtualHost *:8080>?
[10:40] <Ubersoldat> innociv: no
[10:41] <innociv> ok
[10:41] <eMaX_> anoyne knows how to, with ppp/wvdial, choose a network provider for umts?
[10:42] <sannnn> I'm looking for a way to change directory rights (recursive). Only the directories, not the files. Using commandline tools. Anyone got some bash magic?
[10:43] <stetho> Ubersoldat: I could but it that doesn't guarantee that whatever is wrong now won't come back and bite me later. I'd rather establish the cause now so I can fix it, upgrade it or get rid of it.
[10:47] <thahauss> I'm brand new to ubuntu, I just installed / formated a slave drive which I I dont have write permission to (I know this is default) I intend to keep all my data on this drive, would it be better practice to make my account have root permission or to change the permissions on the slave drive?
[10:47] <lyhana8> thahauss: change the permission to the disk
[10:47] <lyhana8> you should look at /etc/fstab
[10:47] <Ubersoldat> stetho: yeah, good call
[10:48] <lyhana8> thahauss: try in console: `sudo gedit /etc/fstab`

[10:49] <lyhana8> beli: yep

[10:51] <beli> lyhana8: np
[10:52] <thahauss> lyhana8, should I change myself as the owner or just change the individual permissions? please excuse my nubness
[10:54] <lyhana8> thahauss: you can try to change the ownership, if it's come back to root after a reboot you should change your fstab

[10:58] <lyhana8> mib_guff98ab: `iwlist eth1 scan`
[10:58] <mib_guff98ab> JC33: it is Atheros
[10:59] <mib_guff98ab> lyhana8: i just tried that says "wlan0     Interface doesn't support scanning."
[10:59] <JC33> mib_guff98ab try type this in console $ iwconfig
[10:59] <doleyb> mib_guff98ab: I suspected it would be atheros.  Did you download a driver?
[11:00] <lyhana8> mib_guff98ab: is your card switch ON ? is it the wlan0 ?
[11:00] <mib_guff98ab> JC33:do you want me to paste the result?

[11:00] <Jimi> Hi does anyone know much about cloning? I have got 46 laptops i need to clone. All of them will be coming with windows XP installed on them and one of them will be having a program put on, then im going ot take the image form that one and put it onto the other 45....the thing is liscensing....does clonezilla have a tool that lets the other 45 machines keep thier liscenses even tho they having an image of another machine slapped on them?
[11:00] <mib_guff98ab> doleyb: it seemed to work find, and the only thing i need is for it to scan
[11:00] <thahauss> lyhana8, Thank you for your assistance I got it working
[11:01] <lyhana8> thahauss: :)
[11:01] <mib_guff98ab> JC33: http://www.mibbit.com/pb/AlpEO4
[11:01] <beli> Jimi: you can exchange the license key afterwards
[11:01] <nordc> Jimi, I don't have a clue about cloning but could you tell me what is it for?
[11:01] <Jimi> beli: how? would you e able to point me in the direction of a tutorial on that?
[11:02] <Jimi> nordc, its so i dont have to install that program and set it up on 45 othr machines lol
[11:02] <oCean_> Jimi: how is this ubuntu related?
[11:03] <JC33> mib_guff98ab $ iwlist ath0 scanning
[11:03] <Jimi> oCean_: cause im using clonezilla on ubuntu? I had no bother asking in here the other day about clonzilla and i got help.
[11:03] <beli> Jimi: howto exchenge license key for windows xp can be found at support.microsoft.com.....search their database
[11:03] <nordc> Jimi, but we're not talking about virtualization, don't we?
[11:03] <Jimi> nordc, pardon?

In the /etc/ntp.conf of the gateway machine, I have `server ntp.ubuntu.com' and `server 127.127.1.0'. Next, I tried to see whether or not the gateway machine still synchronizes itself with ntp.ubuntu.com by changing its system clock a bit. It turned out that it cannot. But, if I remove `se

[11:04] <eusu_kefuin> rver 127.127.1.0' from its /etc/ntp.conf, it can. Any suggestion as how I should attack this problem?
[11:05] <nordc> Jimi, I thought cloning is for mac number or something alike; anyone, thanks for the info
[11:05] <JC33> try $ iwlist wlan0 scanning
[11:05] <Jimi> nordc, no this cloning is to clone the whole operating system onto x number of machines

[11:08] <mib_guff98ab> JC33: nevermind actually thanks for trying to help, but im going to just install Vista again ,Ubuntu is to much trouble and seems more unreliable, may look nice but to get something that is "yours" it takes more hassle than its worth, took me 4 days to get wifi on but then a update caused it to stop

[11:34] <trenander> Hi, running beta 9.04 and had some trouble getting my ar5007 wlancard up and running, solved it with madwifi. I tried some other methods prior and now when it kicked off, I have two working drivers, competing. I'm a bit lost,  need to get rid of one, but don't know where to look...
[11:34] <ben_crisford> kleftix: and its only youtube?  or all flash videos?
[11:35] <kleftisx> ben_crisford :  all videos
[11:35] <kleftisx> ben_crisford :  flash videos
[11:36] <ben_crisford> kleftisx:  i wish i could help you more, but ive never heard of this problem before
[11:36] <ben_crisford> sorry :(
[11:37] <oCean_> trenander: all 9.04 issues/discussion go in channel #ubuntu+1 (since it's still beta)
[11:38] <doleyb> kleftisx: Maybe you should try flash10 beta
[11:38] <kleftisx> doleyb: can i have some info on howto?
[11:39] <doleyb> kleftisx: uninstall your current flashplugin, then download http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.22.87.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz, extract, and place in ~/.mozilla/plugins
[11:40] <kleftisx> doleyb : in firefox about:plugins i have that one http://rafb.net/p/mCXmm367.html
[11:40] <Rods_Tiger> I've installed Unbuntu 9.04 netbook version onto my Acer Aspire One. There's no internet - the wifi doesn't work.
[11:40] <doleyb> kleftisx: the link I gave is 64-bit linux code, so maybe it works better.
[11:40] <Boohbah> Rods_Tiger: /j #ubuntu+1
[11:40] <oCean_> Rods_Tiger: all 9.04 issues/discussion go in channel #ubuntu+1 (since it's still beta
[11:42] <kleftisx> doleyb : when removing i must delete only the file /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so  ?
[11:42] <beli> Chiliblue: my chilis are yellow, green and red......not blue ;)
[11:43] <Chiliblue> blue is a great colour for a chili
[11:43] <beli> Chiliblue: there are violett ones too....like hungarian black
[11:43] <beli> Chiliblue: but never seen a real blue one
[11:43] <oCean_> !ot | beli
[11:43] <beli> oCean_: :-P :)
[11:43] <doleyb> kleftisx: Well probably you can just leave the old one in place, but to uninstall it you'd reverse the steps you did to install (which hopefully means apt-get remove)
[11:44] <telen> where you?
[11:44] <c_korn> where can I get information about my installed memory?
[11:44] <beli> c_korn: dmesg
[11:44] <oCean_> c_korn: use "sudo lshw -C memory"
[11:45] <unitedpotsmokers> guy, i need help. one file in Trash cannot empty... how to delete manually?
[11:45] <unitedpotsmokers> guys, i need help. one file in Trash cannot empty... how to delete manually?
 : very simple, format the computer
[11:46] <oCean_> Kan3_: don't suggest that.
[11:47] <c_korn> beli: I should have been more precise. I was looking for the vendor information. thanks
[11:48] <c_korn> oCean_: vendor: AD00000000000000 is this the string for some no-name vendor?
[11:48] <beli> c_korn: ah ok :) if lshw didnt give you enough info you could use aida32 from ultimate bootcd maybe...
[11:49] <oCean_> c_korn: well, I have vendor "American Megatrends"
[11:49] <oCean_> c_korn: and I don't know what the AD000... is.. might be no-name indeed
[11:49] <c_korn> oCean_: it is a Dell Latitude D830 notebook. no idea what memory they install
[11:50] <rapha> Is there something like ncftpput only for *deleting* files?
[11:51] <oCean_> c_korn: the 'description','width' and 'clock' are relevant if you wish to buy more.
[11:51] <stromi07> hallo leute
[11:52] <beli> rapha: man ncftp ..........i guess there are options to execute commands from the console...otherwise check out lftp
[11:52] <se7en> if i start cups i get  /etc/init.d/cups start
[11:52] <se7en>  * Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd                 cupsd: Child exited with status 1!
[11:52] <se7en>                                                         [fail]
[11:52] <professor_> a friend asked me to download open office for them for their ubuntu system
[11:52] <professor_> I can't just download it off the OO site can I
[11:52] <c_korn> oCean_: problem is. the notebook has two banks. both have a 1GB module atm. I want to buy two 2GB modules. but I wanted it from the same vendor to prevent problems
[11:53] <professor_> I need to download a Ubuntu package and tell them how to install it manually?
[11:53] <professor_> I have always just used Synaptic
[11:53] <professor_> so no idea how to give someone OO on a disk
[11:53] <temporarytao> professor_, i think you can use a deb package
[11:53] <se7en> someone know why cups exit with 1?
[11:53] <temporarytao> see if it's available in getdeb.net
[11:53] <beli> professor_: download the ubuntu package and use dpkg
[11:54] <professor_> ok so I go to my local mirror (Internode) get the package and then use dpkg
[11:54] <koshar1> professor_ you will likely have the best luch with aptoncd and you will need all the dependencys
[11:54] <oCean_> c_korn: as far as I can see, the vendor does not really matter, it's the other specs.
[11:54] <beli> professor_: right....read man dpkg
[11:54] <sarmisak> professor_: yes, but koshar1 is right an aptoncd would be a much better choice
[11:55] <se7en> cups someone
[11:55] <yinlong> who knows whether ubuntu8.10 64 bit for amd can install on intel or not ?
[11:56] <Guest28781> yes you cn
[11:56] <Guest28781> install it
[11:56] <c_korn> yinlong: amd64 can be installed on intel
[11:56] <professor_> aptoncd eh
[11:56] <professor_> it's for a total newb
[11:56] <professor_> so I'll check that out
[11:56] <Guest28781> check it
[11:56] <yinlong> c korr,yes?
[11:56] <oCean_> professor_: openoffice is in the repositories isn't it?
[11:56] <oCean_> !find openoffice
[11:56] <yinlong> oh,it's so good for me.
[11:57] <Guest28781> ya
[11:57] <beli> oCean_: he needs to burn it on cd
[11:57] <professor_> it is in the repositories but a friend needs it who doesn't have internet access atm or something
[11:57] <Guest28781> exit
[11:57] <ljsoftnet__> can anyone help me with openarena?
[11:57] <sarmisak> yinlong: you should check that you intel CPU is 64 bit capable
[11:57] <oCean_> beli: professor_ ok
[11:57] <Guest28781> wahts your problem ljsoftnet
[11:57] <yinlong> sarmisak,i am sure that.
[11:57] <koshar1> professor_ you need to be running the same distro as your friend, and you install the package first and then you make the cd repo,  so if you have the oo files in your apt cache your laughing
[11:57] <c_korn> oCean_: googling for the product ID also turned out the vendor: http://www.memoryten.com/002819.htm
[11:58] <Guest28781> answer
[11:58] <yinlong> sarmisak,i want to install it in my disc G,is it variable?
[11:58] <sarmisak> no its not important, just be careful and dont blow away your other disks ;)
[11:58] <professor_> not sure what distro they have apart from ubuntu
[11:59] <yinlong> sarmisak,and i have a windows xp in the disc C.
[11:59] <Guest28781> i wanna use ma xmod device anyone could help me plz ?
[11:59] <Guest28781> ??????????
[11:59] <koshar1> professor your friend simply adds the aptoncd disk you made to his repository in synaptic, and then installs through synaptic as though he had an internet connection,
[11:59] <yinlong> sarmisak,need i burn it into a CD?
[11:59] <professor_> nice
[12:00] <sarmisak> yinlong: you can boot it from a usb disk also but a CD is always a better choice.
[12:00] <koshar1> professor_ which prompts me to ask whick ubuntu they have as most have OO by default?
[12:00] <GRuB> need help plz
[12:00] <FreeFull> How do I remap the caps-lock key as a second tab key?
[12:00] <GRuB> none could help me
[12:01] <kleftisx> doleyb : i have install the link you gave me but the same again no sound.
[12:01] <professor_> I think the issue is they need the latest version to open .docx files - its for their school children
[12:01] <yinlong> sarmisak,i want to know if i install windows xp as well as ubuntu ,is there some conflicts between them?
[12:01] <professor_> family that saved money by not getting Vista
[12:01] <professor_> no conflicts yinlong
[12:01] <professor_> not for me, ever
[12:01] <FreeFull> yinlong: If you install XP first and ubuntu second, there should be no problem
[12:02] <sarmisak> yinlong: no, they are completely different things
[12:02] <sarmisak> yinlong: I mean, they have nothing to do with each other
[12:03] <antii> Im trying to set up postfix on ubuntu, but I dont got a clue what my System mail name shall be and im following the guide for ubuntu
[12:04] <professor_> open office is not showing up in it, just a few other packages to install - I guess it picks a few from my system it can 'see'
[12:04] <yinlong> dear friends,i did this,i mean i install xp in disc C,and then install ubuntu in the disc G,then will my system be steady?
[12:04] <professor_> should do
[12:05] <professor_> any ideas how to get OO to show up in the aptoncd list?
[12:05] <yinlong> FreeFull,are you there?
[12:07] <luca> ciao, ho bisogno di un aiuto perchè il mio pc dopo poco che è acceso si impalla e non si riesce a fare più niente?
[12:07] <Blue112> Hello everyone
[12:07] <movedx> luca: Sorry, I believe this to be an English only channel.
[12:07] <koshar1> professor_ you may need to a little homework first, you will likely need to know the ubunto version your friend is running.  then you will need to see if the latest version of OO is available in its repos or backports.
[12:07] <movedx> Blue112: Hello.
[12:07] <luca> sorry!
[12:07] <ikonia> !it | luca
[12:07] <Blue112> I have trouble with my HDD
[12:08] <movedx> luca: It's not a problem.
[12:08] <movedx> luca: And there's your answer: #unbuntu-it :)
[12:08] <Blue112> On the boot, it says that it's faulty, and checked it.
[12:08] <Blue112> But it says "bad block currently in use..."
[12:08] <Blue112> And now it's seems like it stick there
[12:09] <Blue112> Hum, i'm gonna but all that on one line.
[12:09] <Blue112> I have trouble with my HDD, on the boot, it says that it's faulty, and checked it : But it says "bad block currently in use...", and stops de % counter. And now it's seems like it stick there. What should I do ?
[12:10] <ohzie_> Blue112, Unfortunately, your best option is to buy a new hard drive, because any failure in a drive is bad.
[12:10] <ohzie_> :[
[12:10] <carpii__> i normally throw it against the wall in disgust
[12:10] <Blue112> ohzie_: I have about 500gb data on that drive :/
[12:10] <ohzie_> Blue112, That's really rather unfortunate. :[
[12:12] <Blue112> ohzie_: What kind of hdd should I buy :/ ?

[12:14] <koshar1> walrus17 i would be looking at placing a better fan/heatsink on it instead, gpus run hot at any rate, mines at 93 deg c now.
[12:15] <Blue112> FormicAcid: This fr.archive is a really bad repository and it's randomly available. I sugguest you to change it.
[12:15] <Bodsda> Hi, I have a crossover cable, a laptop and a desktop machine. I have connected the two machines together, and now i need to transfer some files. How would i go about doing it?
[12:15] <walrus17> 93c :OOOO
[12:15] <FormicAcid> walrus17: Not sure about it
[12:15] <Blue112> Bodsda: Both on linux ?
[12:15] <FormicAcid> Bleu112: ok, any good repo in europe?
[12:15] <Bodsda> Blue112: yes
[12:15] <Blue112> FormicAcid: proxad is a good one.
[12:16] <Blue112> Bodsda: you can use scp
[12:16] <walrus17> i dont have temperature indicator, except my hands ;D
[12:16] <oudhsaudh> how can I make a full image backup of a harddrive with luks encryption and then restore it if something goes wrong?
[12:16] <walrus17> i touch it and i think it's hot enaugght ;
[12:16] <walrus17> ;D
[12:16] <Bodsda> Blue112: got a link to some docs?
[12:16] <Blue112> Bodsda: you'll need to have a ssh-server on the receiver machine (sudo apt-get install open-ssh server)
[12:16] <FormicAcid> Blue112: ftp://ftp.proxad.fr/mirrors/ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ ?
[12:16] <koshar1> walrus17 doctor it hurts when i do this, DR - dont do that then
[12:16] <FormicAcid> should be fast I'm with free :D
[12:17] <Blue112> FormicAcid: I don't really remember the exact adress, but it's looking like that.

[12:18] <hinkley> sdfsdfdf
[12:18] <walrus17> Thanks. I will look for it, when i will have some money ;D
[12:18] <Blue112> Bodsda: Then its works just like the cp command. scp ip_machine1:/path/to/file /path/for/recept
[12:18] <ar> hi
[12:19] <ar> would the same applications that run with apt-get under gnome run the same if i used xfce?
[12:19] <koshar1> walrus17 sensors generally is the package yu install for temp indications
[12:19] <Bodsda> Blue112: ok, openssh-server is installed on the laptop, i suppose i need ssh client and scp?
[12:19] <Blue112> ar: Yes.
[12:19] <koshar1> ar if you installed the dependencys it most likely would
[12:20] <ikonia> Bodsda: ssh-server will install the client and scp for you
[12:20] <Blue112> ar: Except the gnome-specific application (task bar...)
[12:20] <Bodsda> ikonia: ok, cheers
[12:20] <erebe> Hi
[12:20] <ar> so which desktop env. is the best for good looks and usability?
[12:20] <Blue112> ar: Everyone is good, it rely on what's on want.
[12:21] <erebe> if you want a good look like mac, try KDE one
[12:21] <Number7> ar: enlightment =)
[12:21] <ar> erebe: i want good looks but not like mac,
[12:21] <carpii__> kde 3.5 is nice enough
[12:21] <carpii__> none of them are really awesome
[12:21] <Dinamic> hi All
[12:21] <koshar1> ar purely down to personal pref
[12:22] <Dinamic> êòî íèòü ïî ðóññêè øïàðèò?
[12:22] <erebe> search image in google  with KDE or Gnome and you will see wht them look like
[12:22] <Dinamic>  :D
[12:22] <Blue112> I can't read Dinamic (or he says question marks)
[12:22] <echo_mirage> i manipulated grub/menu.lst and now it does not update anymore. new kernels are not added as entries. how can i restore that?
[12:23] <Dinamic> do you speak Russian language?
[12:23] <erebe> Use live cd of ubuntu to restore Grub
[12:23] <echo_mirage> ah ok
[12:23] <Blue112> Dinamic: There's a channel (ubuntu-) where they speak russian...
[12:23] <Blue112> You may try #ubuntu-ru I think.
[12:23] <Dinamic>  :(
[12:24] <koshar1> ar see my desktop,

[12:24] <TE1> How do I expose port 8765 (lircd) to my LAN on Hardy (firewall rule somewhere I guess) ?
[12:24] <Blue112> TE1: I think that there's no firewall by default on Hardy.
[12:25] <TE1> Restriction to localhost compiled into LIRC then?
[12:25] <ubuntu_> Hello! I have got a dmraid and since the kernel update yesterday I am just getting the grub error console when booting from the harddisk. I tried to repair grub using grub-install --recheck
[12:26] <ubuntu_> But it does not work
[12:26] <Blue112> TE1: Maybe. Try sudo netstat -autepn | grep 8765
[12:26] <TE1> Not that could find that documented anywhere...
[12:26] <ubuntu_> Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
[12:26] <ubuntu_> Unknown partition table signature
[12:26] <ubuntu_> /dev/mapper/pdc_bhhchfbea1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
[12:26] <TE1> Well the port is open and I can telnet to it locally
[12:27] <Blue112> ubuntu_: Could you boot on an older kernel ?
[12:27] <lyhana8> does a identi.ca client is avaible on hardy ? (gwibber won't install)
[12:27] <ubuntu_> Blue112, no. I am just getting the grub error console
[12:27] <Blue112> So I don't know. Sorry.
[12:27] <Blue112> I have problems with my hdd too.
[12:28] <TE1> ﻿Blue112: But from another system on the same switch, telnet mybox 8765 just times out, so something's eatin' that traffic...
[12:28] <Bodsda> Blue112: ok so i have the ssh software installed on both machines, how do i make a connection?
[12:29] <Blue112> Bodsda: Just like the cp command. On the recepter, try : scp -r ip_adress_of_the_laptop:/path/to/file /path/for/recepting
[12:29] <Blue112> Bodsda: It should ask you the password, then transfer.
[12:30] <Blue112> If you prefer, you can do an "sshfs", which allows you to transfer file with graphical interface (nautilus).
[12:31] <Bodsda> Blue112: ok, sorry im a little confused, we are both connected to a wireless connection and are also wired together, is an 'ifconfig' command suitable for finding the correct ip address?
[12:31] <x4d> Hello, I'm trying out Jaunty and I noticed that remote desktop does not work properly, I've seen this happen in mint kde and kubuntu 8.10, after the connection is established the first frame is drawn and no more. I can see the mouse moving around but no other actions like menus or windows. Is there a fix for this ?
[12:31] <Blue112> Bodsda: Yes, you can find out the ip address with ifconfig.
[12:31] <ar> koshar1: this is compiz on kde right?
[12:31] <Blue112> x4d: Join #ubuntu+1

[12:37] <maverick340> therfore i set up a new connection and specified the settings, but now everytime i log in the autoeth0 is connected
[12:37] <koshar1> livingdaylight its not installe by default because not all graphics hardware supports it

[12:39] <livingdaylight> koshar1, thx... that would be really hard for a noob to know
[12:40] <koshar1> ar thats fluxbox
[12:40] <kazaLite> which meida player is the best one for ubuntu? to run all sorts of audio/video files....
[12:40] <koshar1> kazaLite prolly vlc
[12:40] <Bodsda> !best | kazaLite
[12:40] <Blue112> Bodsda: Try ssh 192.168.0.5
[12:40] <Bhavesh2177> try aviplay
[12:40] <kazaLite> totem is broken.....so need to find something else
[12:40] <kazaLite> oka
[12:40] <Blue112> kazaLite: You can try mplayer, vlc, kaffeine...
[12:40] <Bodsda> Blue112: its asking for a password
[12:41] <kazaLite> cool
[12:41] <Blue112> Bodsda: Enter the password for connecting to your laptop.
[12:41] <koshar1> livingdaylight 3d cube isnt exactly aimed at newbs
[12:41] <Blue112> (if the user is the same that you're desktop)
[12:41] <Bodsda> Blue112: what password would that be? the laptop users sudo password?
[12:41] <Blue112> Bodsda: That's it.
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[12:42] <erebe> koshar1 : once you installed the paquet go to System > preferences >  Compizconfig ...
[12:42] <Blue112> yo ActionParsnip
[12:42] <Bodsda> Blue112: nope, keep getting permission denied
[12:42] <Blue112> Bodsda: Is the user on your laptop is the same as your desktop ?
[12:42] <Bodsda> Blue112: no
[12:43] <Blue112> Bodsda: Then try ssh user_laptop@192.168.0.5 (replace user_laptop, of course)
[12:43] <livingdaylight> koshar1, i don't know if you said something to me. Xchat froze after i installed compiz settings manager
[12:43] <Bodsda> Blue, ok cheers
[12:43] <lantjie> hey guys
[12:44] <lantjie> how are you
[12:44] <lantjie> ?
[12:44] <Bodsda> Blue112: wicked im in, now should i use that scp command?
[12:44] <Bodsda> !hi | lantjie
[12:44] <zorael> I have a kernel patch I need applied, and I have the source and everything ready, but how do I actually apply it? http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20997#c1
[12:44] <lantjie> thanx guys
[12:44] <zorael> patch -p0 < filename?
[12:44] <Blue112> Bodsda: Yes, it ctrl D for disconnect, and then use scp command. Don't forget the user@ before the laptop ip.
[12:44] <Strangelove> hello, a quick question. Is there any option that displays me with what options a .deb was compiled?
[12:45] <Nirkus> hey! i cant get my ubuntu 8.10 to automatically assemble the md-array (raid1) with my root filesystem on it within the initramfs
[12:45] <Blue112> Strangelove: You should look into dpkg's man.
[12:45] <Strangelove> I try to use Magick++, but it does not open .tif files. but it should :(
[12:45] <koshar1>  livingdaylight no erebe jut mentiond the path to the settings manager via the menu,  ﻿System > preferences >  Compizconfig ...
[12:45] <s4m0u> hi , what is sed
[12:45] <Bodsda> Blue112: so its   scp -r <username>@laptop_ip:/path/to/film /new/path/on/desktop    after i connect to the laptop frm my desktop, yes?
[12:45] <jrib> Strangelove: read debian/rules
[12:46] <lantjie> ubottu: and other guys i have a question. and i need your advices. which is the best study i can do now? is it java or ccna?
[12:46] <jrib> !source > Strangelove
[12:46] <livingdaylight> koshar1, no erebe?
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> !ot | lantjie
[12:46] <Strangelove> thank you Blue112
[12:46] <kazaLite> every player fails to play video file on my computer.....totem....mplayer...... though i can watch videos on youtube:( how to find the reason?
[12:46] <Blue112> Bodsda: No, you have to disconnect from your laptop (hit ctrl+D), then enter this command on you're desktop command-line
[12:46] <ziroday> kazaLite: what type of videos are they?
[12:46] <livingdaylight> koshar1, yup, i found it... i now have a cube. Now what? :p
[12:46] <lantjie> oke
[12:46] <Blue112> kazaLite: Codecs ?
[12:46] <Bodsda> Blue112: oh, i see, cheers
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> kazaLite: youtube uses flash + javascript, mplayer t al use plugins
[12:46] <Bodsda> thanks alot
[12:47] <kazaLite> .wmv
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> !codecs
[12:47] <livingdaylight> koshar1, i don't know if it s worth it
[12:47] <kazaLite> and totem even fails to run audio files like mp3 files
[12:47] <Blue112> Bodsda: No problem, I'm waiting for the fsck finished so I can quit livecd ^^'
[12:47] <lantjie> any way thanks ubottu
[12:47] <ziroday> !codecs > kazaLite
[12:47] <ziroday> kazaLite: follow the information ubottu gives you
[12:47] <Blue112> Bodsda: I've got nothing else to do, so helping people is a great time-eater ^^'
[12:47] <koshar1> livingdaylight what do you mean now what? its just a plugin, looks like this while you rotate it, http://s330.photobucket.com/albums/l416/koshar1/?action=view&current=beryl.jpg
[12:48] <koshar1>  kazaLite have you got the corecs installed for mp3?
[12:48] <kazaLite> ziroday: ok
[12:48] <kazaLite> nopes...never installed codecs.....
[12:49] <zorael> How do I apply the source patch at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20997#c1 ?
[12:49] <kazaLite> so far, anything i use on ubuntu, if something is missing, ubuntu asks me to download and install it, and i accept it:)
[12:49] <mizipzor> i recently bought a laptop, now my desktop ubuntu is turned into a server, ive heard there is "server edition" of ubuntu, but how much does it actually differ? is there any point in "switching" (whatever that means, something short of reinstalling i guess) to the server edition?
[12:49] <livingdaylight> koshar1, i meant, what is the big fuss? But your cube looks nicer. I can see through it, Mine doesn't
[12:49] <schone__> hi all, whats the best way to allow all incoming connections from all ips for a certain ip address?
[12:49] <Blue112> mizipzor: You have no graphical interface on the server edition
[12:49] <livingdaylight> koshar1, do all the effects not work on all computers? I have nvidia 6500gt card
[12:50] <Blue112> mizipzor: So you can't use it as a normal desktop computer. Be awared.
[12:50] <ziroday> mizipzor: well it depends, what does your desktop do currently? The server edition has no GUI, and you can get all the packages the server version has on the desktop version of ubuntu
[12:50] <mizipzor> Blue112: so, uninstalling X, gnome, and such, ive pretty much got the server edition? there are no fancy changes to the kernel or anything?
[12:50] <ziroday> mizipzor: there is a special server kernel, which you can install if you want to
[12:50] <koshar1> livingdaylight should be enough if you have the restricted drivers working, you may get black windows if your res is to big, and your using all the gpu memory
[12:50] <Blue112> mizipzor: It's a -server kernel, so I think there's some changed...
[12:51] <Blue112> -d +s
[12:52] <doleyb> Hi is there a webpage to list hardware ubuntu can use?
[12:52] <mizipzor> ziroday: Blue112: ok, se there seems to be a few fundamental changes, how do i "switch"? is the easiest way just to nuke the system and reinstall? although that takes away the hacker challenge ;)
[12:52] <koshar1> livingdaylight seeing through the cube is the transparency on rotate bindidng
[12:52] <kazaLite> im also facing an issue with evolution.....earlier i was in oxfordshire and installed ubuntu and configured evoultion for my gmail account and it worked
[12:52] <ziroday> mizipzor: simple, remove xorg and then install the server kernel. After that you are all done.
[12:52] <Chiliblue> doleyb, if it can be used in linux generally it can be used in ubuntu
[12:52] <livingdaylight> koshar1, i can't get the cube at an angle like you have
[12:52] <kazaLite> as soon as i have came to london and using iwreless connection, i can receive emails, but cannot send from evolution
[12:53] <Chiliblue> so just look for linux compatible hardware
[12:53] <kazaLite> any idea?
[12:53] <mizipzor> ziroday: are there special server-packages? must i tell apt-get something?
[12:53] <ziroday> mizipzor: what do you want this "server" to actually do?
[12:53] <koshar1> livingdaylight cont alt /left mouse button then pan
[12:53]  * sav happy
[12:53] <Chiliblue> kazaLite, is this using pop mail or imap
[12:53] <livingdaylight> koshar1, i have that ticked but ...
[12:53] <sam_> hello
[12:53] <kazaLite> pop
[12:53] <livingdaylight> koshar1, cool
[12:53] <Blue112> kazaLite: Smtp blocked ?
[12:54] <Chiliblue> and are you using sendmail to 'send mail'
[12:54] <sam_> could someone tell me a bit about arch
[12:54] <koshar1> livingdaylight for the transparency you need to adjust the slider
[12:54] <kazaLite> but i get error message that smtp fails to connect
[12:54] <Chiliblue> its blocked by the isp
[12:54] <Blue112> So that's the point.
[12:54] <ziroday> sam_: sure, in #archlinux
[12:54] <sam_> thanks
[12:54] <kazaLite> it says connecting to smtp.google.com timed out
[12:54] <Extend> guys
[12:54] <mizipzor> ziroday: uhm, nothing really, it has always hosted some svn servers and similiar... i usually just ssh into it anyway since i feel more comfortable with that than the X gui... now Ive even unhooked the monitor so i thought its time to look into what a server edition actually means :p but no, i have no clear objective with the server beyond "fun"
[12:54] <Extend> any one answer yes or
[12:54] <Chiliblue> a lot of isps will block people connecting to the smtp server from outside their network
[12:54] <L3dPlatedLinux> was wondering what are ~nameoffile    are they backups?
[12:54] <kazaLite> is my isp blocking it?
[12:54] <Extend> no 4Gb support in desktop edition for now ?
[12:54] <Chiliblue> yes
[12:54] <kazaLite> or router?
[12:54] <koshar1> livingdaylight anyway IMHO scale is the best thing in compiz,
[12:54] <Chiliblue> not the one you are connected via but your normal mail provider isp
[12:55] <kazaLite> its O2 connection here in london
[12:55] <Chiliblue> check with who you use at home
[12:55] <livingdaylight> koshar1, are you in London too?
[12:55] <ziroday> mizipzor: all right then. Sure feel free to install the server kernel but you won't see really any speed improvements. Best thing to do is just remove xorg and friends if you're not going to use it and then install server stuffs as you need it
[12:55] <kazaLite> ummm....
[12:55] <Chiliblue> its ok, you just need to find a smtp server you can access
[12:56] <Blue112> Ok, I'm gonna reboot, see you all.
[12:56] <ziroday> mizipzor: the repos for the server and deskop version of ubuntu are exactly the same
[12:56] <L3dPlatedLinux> is there a way to turn off making off the backups?
[12:57] <livingdaylight> koshar1, what is scale?
[12:57] <Knirgh> !tty
[12:57] <mizipzor> ziroday: they are the same, okey, so by "install server stuff" you just mean general server software? apache for example. not special server packages of said software? hope i didnt confuse you now :p
[12:57] <doleyb> Chiliblue: I'd prefer a list of things ubuntu supports, rather than "can use".  What I mean is, no installing things except from official repository.
[12:58] <Chiliblue> doleyb, it doesn't sort of work like that
[12:58] <ziroday> mizipzor: not at all. The server and desktop version get there software from the exact same source. So if you were to install apache now its the same apache you would get on a server install
[12:58] <Strangelove> ok, that is strange. I have tiff supprt, but Magick++ does not process .tiff. But convert does. Does this make eny sense?
[12:58] <ziroday> L3dPlatedLinux: can you rephrase your question please
[12:58] <doleyb> Chiliblue: How's it sort of work?
[12:58] <koshar1> livingdaylight no iam a long way from sheppards bush, scale is a binding that lets all the open windows scale to one screen and you can swith between apps with it, you could call it task manager on steroids
[12:59] <Chiliblue> well if you just install stuff from the respository then you shouldn't have a problem
[12:59] <quibbler> L3dPlatedLinux-> yes they are backup copies from gedit....go to edit-preferences-editor and uncheck backups
[12:59] <Chiliblue> I guess if there is a list it is there
[12:59] <Slart> Extend: I don't think so.. unless you compile your own kernel, which isn't really the recommended way to go
[12:59] <marlun> Sometimes when I run aptitude install it installs without asking me if it's ok and sometimes it asks me if what it is going to install is ok. Can I force the question? Or is it that it always asks when there are dependencies that will be isntalled to and not when it's only one package?
[12:59] <livingdaylight> koshar1, i'd like to try that. Where?
[12:59] <L3dPlatedLinux> in nautilus when I make a file it auto makes a backup is there a way to stop and clean them out as I dont see a need for them
[13:00] <Extend> Slart, i know how to compile the problem is not my problem it is a user's problem, he asked in launchpad
[13:00] <Slart> Extend: of course.. 64 bit ubuntu can do it.. but for 32-bit you need the PAE extension.. which afaik only the server kernel uses
[13:00] <ziroday> marlun: it only asks you if there is dependencies and/or downgrade/removals
[13:00] <livingdaylight> koshar1, i can't even find slider for transparency :/
[13:00] <quibbler> L3dPlatedLinux -> yes they are backup copies from gedit....go to edit-preferences-editor and uncheck backups
[13:00] <shahost1> hm I got a question kinda related to ubuntu, on my laptop running ubuntu 8.10 wine firefox the machine reboots, when I try to watch a live stream my guess is that this is related to the ATI Graphics drivers, so is there any info about this issiue?
[13:00] <Extend> i know about pae i searched the desktop edition packages for it but no luck only the linux image for server
[13:00] <Edebi_Soytari> .
[13:00] <marlun> ziroday: ok :) thanks
[13:00] <ziroday> marlun: have fun
[13:01] <livingdaylight> koshar1, transparency is 'opacify' right? and then 2nd tab misc.
[13:01] <Slart> Extend: mm.. I'm not really sure why it isn't an option on the desktop kernel.. performance problems perhaps.. or something else
[13:01] <ziroday> how do you tell nautilus not put anything on the desktop?
[13:01] <Extend> Slart, thanks for your help
[13:01] <s4m0u> how to write a script shell
[13:01] <ubuntu_is_dabest> how to make an event script as mentioned on http://securityvulns.com/docs5992.html ? i quote it: "start events with your own script parsing the clamd´s log file manual"
[13:02] <Slart> ziroday: not sure you can.. you can tell nautilus to not draw the icons though.. or you could set suitable permissions on the desktop folder
[13:02] <Slart> Extend: you're welcome
[13:02] <Slart> ziroday: depends on what you mean by "put anything on the desktop"
[13:02] <shahost1> hmm guess is normale behavor that ubunto reboots while watching webpages then :)
[13:03] <koshar1> livingdaylight *tick*
[13:03] <minimike150> Not normal behaviour
[13:04] <koshar1> !script
[13:04] <Slart> shahost1: check your logs for error messages.. a machine rebooting by itself is not normal in any way
[13:04] <sam_> how do I set up an irc channel
[13:04] <koshar1> !bash
[13:04] <ziroday> Slart: what you just said was perfect, asking nautilus not to draw anything on the desktop :)
[13:04] <Slart> sam_: ask in #freenode
[13:05] <sam_> !ubottu
[13:05] <Slart> ziroday: ah.. open gconf-editor, go to .. hmm.. I think it's .. Apps, Nautilus.. I think there's a setting in there somewhere
[13:05] <sam_> !help
[13:05] <Slart> ziroday: don't run gconf-editor with sudo.. (that will change the settings for the root user).. just regular "gconf-editor
[13:05] <sam_> I see
[13:05] <koshar1> ziroday theres a switch you can launch nautilus from fluxbox, xfce ect that does what you want
[13:06] <shadowclash> omg what a big channel

[13:07] <jwendell> hi, folks, can someone point me out some material about something like 'ubuntu is ready for the desktop, or for the workstation'
[13:07] <jwendell> I've tried https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Presentations with no luck
[13:07] <Slart> shadowclash: nevermind.. I'm just being silly.. Did you have a question about ubuntu ?
[13:08] <doleyb> jwendell: I wish it was ready :(
[13:08] <jwendell> ah, don't say that
[13:08] <Ben-Crisford> I need help with my internet.  It stopped working the other day, and after my very best efforts (and the help of people on the forums) it is still not working...
[13:09] <mizipzor> ziroday: oh, thank you :) forgot to say
[13:10] <linny2> is there a command i can use tu turn a symlink ito a normal file ?
[13:10] <minimike150> Ben-Crisford, could you expand on your problem. 'My Internet' is very vague
[13:10] <mizipzor> linny2: cp? or how do you mean?
[13:10] <koshar1> linny2: no symlinks arnt normal files
[13:10] <ar> does anybody know how to make frameless windows?
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> linny2: you can create a hard link but ive never used one
[13:10] <s4m0u> what is the difference between open source and free thanks
[13:11] <koshar1> ar fluxbox lets you get pretty close,
[13:11] <minimike150> open source is when the source code is available to anybody who wants to look at it
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> s4m0u: open source has the source code available for modification and allows you to compile the app providing you have its dependancies
[13:11] <minimike150> !open source
[13:11] <Ben-Crisford> minimike150: Ah yes sorry, I was just waiting for someone to reply first...   Basically, I boot ubuntu and it says i am connected to the netowrk, but I cannot ping IPs or visit webpages, or download, connect to pidgin, basicaly it says im connected, but im not...
[13:11] <ar> koshar1: http://www.gentoo.org/images/shots/desktop-cadaver138.png
[13:12] <koshar1> ar you could prolly kill metacity and it would acheive windowless apps, but you woulnt be able to minimise ect
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> s4m0u: something may be "free" but not open source. Like Acrobat Reader is free (no money) but is closed source
[13:12] <Slart> s4m0u: open source is when you can get the source code for something.. free means.. different things depending on what kind of free.. free as in speach or beer
[13:12] <linny2> i know they arnt normal files , but ive read this fix for a bug i have http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-grub@gnu.org/msg11061.html and the fix was 'to remove the /etc/mtab symlink and make it an ordinary file.' how would i achive this
[13:12] <minimike150> Ben-Crisford, are you connected though wireless or ethernet?
[13:12] <Ben-Crisford> minimike150: wireless
[13:13] <Ben-Crisford> minimike150: it isnt the card as internet still didnt work when I used a different one
[13:13] <minimike150> Ben-Crisford, Can you connect to the wireless network on any other computers/laptops
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> s4m0u: another example is flashplugin, its free to downlaod and use but adobe will not release the source (even though they should)
[13:13] <koshar1> ar i suspect your looking at widgets on the left and the right windows have blinds minimised
[13:13] <minimike150> ok
[13:13] <Ben-Crisford> minimike150: every other computer is fine on the netowrk
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> s4m0u: all clear?
[13:13] <Ben-Crisford> minimike150: i am connected through vista, it works in windows
[13:14] <s4m0u> ok ActionParsnip thank you
[13:15] <minimike150> Ben-Crisford: I am no expert on this kidn of thing but I'm guessing it could be a network configuration problem on the network manager but you will have to speak to somebody else as I dont actually know :)
[13:15] <lantjie> exit
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> s4m0u: np bro
[13:15] <Ben-Crisford> minimike150: ok thanks for your help, im pretty sure its not network config, but ill look into it again...  cheers again
[13:15] <koshar1> ar and this rest is no doubt done in the wallpaper
[13:16] <minimike150> Ben-Crisford, ok thanks
[13:16] <mattycoze_> hey anyone know how to stream webcam footage over a network from /dev/video0
[13:17] <Iceman_B|SSH> do ARP requests over the LAN get logged by default? if so, where ?
[13:18] <Slart> mattycoze_: I think there are several webcam daemons in the repos.. have you searched for webcam in synaptic?
[13:18] <mattycoze_> Slart yeah I tried a program called motion but it's all command line stuff i'm not familiar with; I thought VLC had something that along these lines
[13:19] <mattycoze_> I'm trying to run multiple webcams at different locations and stream them over a network to one central monitoring station

[13:23] <sliverchair> hi, how do I make a loop that will download images file names image_001, image002 and so on
[13:23] <sliverchair> in the commandline
[13:24] <jrib> sliverchair: wget image_{001..100}
[13:24] <Slart> sliverchair: I think curl does that automagically.. something like curl http://www.host.com/image[01-99].jpg
[13:24] <koshari> sliverchair do you know the exact location? i guess you would use wget in a script
[13:25] <sliverchair> Slart, koshari, thanks i'll try

[13:26] <ActionParsnip> !java | hypn0
[13:26] <linny2> yea thanks nano seems managable :)
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> linny2: run it with sudo to edit files that arent yours

[13:29] <bove> jrib: Trying a reboot now, but I know it's on the same file system as folders working fine
[13:29] <marcel> hypn0, why do you need the latest jvm?
[13:30] <unipex> hi, can someone help me?
[13:30] <aaronator> can someone look at this page and talk me through a part of it
[13:30] <aaronator> http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath5k
[13:31] <jrib> !wireless > aaronator
[13:31] <jrib> !ask | unipex
[13:31] <hypn0> marcel, new versions fix bugs dont they
[13:31] <aaronator> it has to do with the kernel config specifically
[13:32] <jrib> aaronator: did you read the docs on ubuntu's wiki?
[13:32] <bl4ckcomb> does someone know what package ubuntu uses for display settings (the one that auto-detects other screens)? I'm looking for it to use it in debian
[13:32] <bove> jrib: /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)
[13:32] <marcel> hypn0, what bug is of interest of you? you dont have to keep up for just the version number
[13:32] <aaronator> yes
[13:32] <marcel> hypn0, newer versions also introduce new bugs
[13:32] <jrib> aaronator: then you need to be more specific as to what your question is
[13:32] <jrib> bove: did you see my last request?
[13:32] <aaronator> but if you go to the webpage i poseted, i can lead you to exactly what i have an issue with
[13:32] <jrib> aaronator: just ask your question
[13:33] <marcel> bl4ckcomb, gnome? xserver?
[13:33] <dn4> what is a program I can get for ubuntu to manage my usb webcam ?
[13:33] <bl4ckcomb> marcel, it's gnome
[13:33] <marcel> dn4, cheese is a good one
[13:33] <bl4ckcomb> xorg
[13:33] <aaronator> jrib: it says i must first enable mac80211, and then in the code box it says 'Networking  --->"
[13:33] <hypn0> marcel, in 8.04 it was buggy, in 8.10 it worked better, so i expect u13 to be a bit faster too
[13:33] <aaronator> "Wireless --->"
[13:33] <unipex> why I can't print web page using firefox? I tray use other browser and I found no problem
[13:33] <aaronator> I am not familiar with what it is trying to tell me
[13:34] <dn4> marcel, know of any programs with special efx?
[13:34] <marcel> hypn0, download it from sun, use tar files, and skip the packages then
[13:34] <marcel> dn4, cheese
[13:34] <marcel> dn4, it can record movies too
[13:35] <dotch> Hi all, im running ubuntu intrepid on a thinkpad z61m with all the updates but i am unable to shutdown using the icon in the notification area, it only restarts the x-server any help fixing this would be greatly appreciated

[13:35] <dn4> udocheese?
[13:35] <jrib> aaronator: why are you rebuilding this?  What is wrong with the instructions that ubottu gave you on the wiki?
[13:35] <jrib> bove: so there you go...
[13:35] <jrib> bove: your user can't write to /FTP/hocus/hei.txt since it is owned by root
[13:35] <aaronator> jrib: i am trying to patch my driver for aircrack

[13:40] <lukeW> hi
[13:40] <aaronator> jrib: I am following a walk through on the aircrack-ng site and it say i need to ensure my kernel configuration includes some options.  I do not understand the syntax in the code box though and can find nothing concerning it. Namely, the syntax "Networking ---> Wireless --->"  and [M] Improved wireless configuration api"
[13:40] <bove> jrib: it was 700. I switched to 755, and now it works. I didn't think that had anything to say?
[13:41] <jrib> bove: apparently it does :)
[13:41] <jrib> bove: you need execute on parent directories
[13:41] <lukeW> i've a question about bash scripting - i've made an 'll' alias script, which includes my most common switches.. only problem is that color is no longer output - does anyone know a work around for this?
[13:41] <cico> hi
[13:41] <arvind_khadri> mudit, login to the tty and do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop and then do your work, for starting x just replace stop with start/restart
[13:41] <marcel> aaronator, you need to build your custom kernel, use make menuconfig to configure the kernel
[13:42] <marcel> aaronator, let me give you a link on building a custom kernel on ubuntu, hold on
[13:42] <bove> jrib: thanks for your help. I can now get on with the real work =)
[13:42] <marcel> aaronator, http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu
[13:42] <aaronator> marcel: thanks, will this explain what [M] means and help me decypher what this tut it telling me?
[13:42] <jrib> what a terrible link
[13:43] <marcel> aaronator, M means module
[13:43] <anil_> lukeW : --color=auto
[13:43] <aaronator> marcel: thanks
[13:43] <jrib> I see nothing but stupid advice at the top of that link marcel
[13:43] <unipex> hi all, how I fix this bug? (firefox:5640): Gtk-WARNING **: Unknown paper size ppd_w162h36
[13:43] <jrib> !kernel > aaronator
[13:43] <lukeW> anil_, do i put that as a parameter of #!/bin/bash ?
[13:44] <lukeW> anil_, i get color from ls.. but because i'm running ls from a script - the color is being stripped..
[13:45] <dn4> marcel, cheese won't detect my cam :(
[13:45] <grawity> lukeW: ...you made a bash script for only one command?
[13:45] <lukeW> grawity, it saves me entering ls -lstra every time
[13:45] <sam_> I think I have a hacker trying to get into my computer
[13:45] <jrib> sam_: be more specific...
[13:45] <ikonia> sam_: no you don't
[13:45] <grawity> lukeW: Er. How about this command instead? alias ll="ls -lstra"
[13:45] <benjamin__> I am trying to get my tv output on my aspire 5630 laptop to work.  I have a  Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME graphics card.  I am using xrandr
[13:45] <sam_> well,
[13:46] <ikonia> sam_: stop messing around
[13:46] <benjamin__> but it's not detecting the TV connection
[13:46] <benjamin__> any ideas?
[13:46] <sam_> everynow and again,
[13:46] <sam_> I get this message
[13:46] <lukeW> grawity, i didn't know about that... how do i add that?
[13:46] <sam_> saying that a user on such a computer is trying to acsess my computer
[13:46] <grawity> lukeW: just add that alias command to your ~/.bashrc, and it'll start working next time you open the terminal.
[13:46] <Shock> i'm looking for a program that listens on a socket and executes the commands given. anyone know such a program?
[13:46] <lukeW> grawity, thanks
[13:46] <jrib> aaronator: you shouldn't follow the advice at the begginning of that howtoforge link (actually most of it).  ubottu sent you sane instructions on compiling a custom kernel
[13:47] <fungin> hi, I have a problem to solve - I have to find a way to restart computer when firefox gets stuck/stops/does not respond etc or is minimalised
[13:47] <edgex> sam_, why do you have vnc server on
[13:47] <grawity> lukeW: for more information, open the manpage for bash, and search for aliases (press / and type Aliases)
[13:47] <edgex> and are there any other boxes on your lan
[13:47] <sam_> a user on the computer xxx.xxx.xxx is trying to view or control my desktop
[13:47] <sam_> whats a vnc server
[13:47] <edgex> Ugh
[13:47] <lukeW> grawity, nice, thx
[13:47] <ikonia> sam_: as long as you say "no" it's not a problem
[13:48] <sam_> o
[13:48] <sam_> k
[13:48] <sam_> ok
[13:48] <ikonia> sam_: no-one has hacked you, some one is trying to access your machine
[13:48] <edgex> System > Preferences > Remote Desktop
[13:48] <Knirgh> sam_: it's  a program to take control over a remote computer
[13:48] <sam_> I wonder who it is
[13:48] <fungin> anyone know how to do it, so that I could make a cron entry with the script/program that would check firefox status periodically
[13:48] <edgex> sam_, most chances are its on your LAN
[13:48] <ikonia> sam_: random person on the internet
[13:48] <edgex> unless you have ports open
[13:48] <ikonia> fungin: what status ?
[13:48] <edgex> which is kind of stupid unless you know why they're open I guess
[13:49] <sam_> its remote desktop
[13:49] <sam_> bye
[13:49] <marcel> dn4, if you plug in your webcam, what does /var/log/messages contain?
[13:49] <fungin> I need to know wheather or not firefox is visible (not minimalized) and it it is responding/working. I have a multimedia stand flash application running on ubuntu in firefox in fullscreen mode
[13:49] <marcel> dn4, tail -f /var/log/messages
[13:49] <marcel> dn4, then plugin the webcam
[13:50] <lukeW> aliases saved me.. that's great
[13:50] <fungin> and sometimes flash application gets stuck/hangs/does not respodn and firefox too. I have to find out such situation and restart system if necessary
[13:51] <lukeW> does anyone know a command to take a pic with a webcam from the cmd line?  i'd like to set up a cron job to capture and upload to a server, incase my laptop is ever stolen..
[13:51] <chazco> Hi... Firefox is giving me an error on direct.gov - sec_error_unknown_issuer - is it safe to add an exception?
[13:52] <lukeW> hey i googled - http://www.linux.com/base/ldp/howto/Webcam-HOWTO/framegrabbers.html
[13:52] <lukeW> thx
[13:52] <lukeW> bye

[13:57] <gartral> kleftisx: ah, ok, i have 2, and hit verymuch the same proble,
[13:57] <kazaLite1> since port 25 is open, so thinking if i could direct it to use poort 25
[13:58] <kleftisx> okey666: in the first i didnt have video also and follow this guide and now i watch video perfect. but without sound. this is the guide i follow
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> kazaLite1: google dont use"normal" ports, they use different ones
[13:58] <lobuz> hey, im trying again with linux after few years and i have problems with configuring my dual screens with xwindows... i would like my 1280x1024 crt and 1920:1200 lcd to run at same time but not as clones but seperate workspaces with system localised on the crt
[13:58] <lobuz> http://pastebin.com/m3253577
[13:58] <lobuz> i got this generated by nvidia driver
[13:59] <lobuz> but it is not working, the 1920 screen displays only around 1280 , but not interpolated, its being displayed on half of screen :
[13:59] <okey666> kleftisx: have you tried sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nofree-extrasound ?
[13:59] <kazaLite1> so cannot change port number.....then need to mess with router
[13:59] <daftykins> lobuz use "nvidia-settings" to reconfigure your displays
[13:59] <gartral> okey666: check your speeling
[13:59] <kleftisx> okey666 : i have not try that one
[14:00] <lobuz> the xorg.conf is being actually generated by nvidia driver settings  tool :)
[14:00] <okey666> ah, sorry, flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound
[14:00] <Lartza_> I am new to ubuntu as server/gateway
[14:00] <okey666> kleftisx: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound
[14:00] <Lartza_> If I install Ubuntu server edition, can I install graphical GUI on top?
[14:00] <icqnumber> something is wrong with my firefox java plug-in from icedtea
[14:01] <Pici> Lartza_: Sure.
[14:01] <ikonia> Lartza_: may as well use the desktop version
[14:01] <ikonia> Lartza_: the desktop version makes a very good server platform
[14:01] <kleftisx> okey666 : E: Package flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound has no installation candidate
[14:01] <lobuz> can someone help me out with this? http://pastebin.com/m3253577
[14:01] <Lartza_> ikonia: Thing is I have server cd downloaded and gnome is too powerful anyways
[14:01] <lobuz> any idea why the second screen does not start as 1920x1200?
[14:02] <Lartza_> ikonia: So it should even be xubuntu, but I do bare enligthenment, icewm or some other
[14:02] <ikonia> lobuz: not enough grunt on the card to drive two screens at hi res ?
[14:02] <lobuz> it's 8600gt, runs fair on windows
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> lobuz: try: gksudo nvidia-settings to set the resolution
[14:03] <lobuz> ActionParsnip: i did! and it's set properly there :P
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> lobuz: bizarre
[14:04] <lobuz> but let me give it another try, need relog :)
[14:04] <okey666> kleftisx: do you have multiverse enabled?

[14:04] <ramontayag> hey everyone. i installed xubuntu on an old compaq presario 1200. when i booted it, i got a blank screen. i know the monitor of the laptop's fine, so I plugged in an external monitor and restarted it. without doing anything more, the laptop screen showed something. how do I made the laptop screen activate itself without having to plug in an external monitor?
[14:05] <lobuz> mission failed
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> ramontayag: on the keyboard is there a button combo to enabel crt etc, something like Fn F8
[14:05] <ExploWare> HELP
[14:05] <ExploWare> :p
[14:05] <ikonia> ExploWare: what ?
[14:06] <ExploWare> I have a question...
[14:06] <ikonia> ExploWare: that's not funny - if you have a problem, ask a question
[14:06] <ExploWare> sorry ikonia
[14:06] <okey666> kleftisx: are you 32 or 64 bit?
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> !ask| ExploWare
[14:06] <cinco> hi
[14:06] <kleftisx> okey666 : 64
[14:08] <ExploWare> I've just downloaded Ubuntu Server 32-bits ISO, booted from, selected the Install option, but it just starts a commandline.. Is there a command to start the instalation manual?
[14:08] <kleftisx> ActionParsnip : i have try the link and test a solution bu still the same problem.
[14:08] <lobuz> http://pastebin.com/m3253577 - there must be something wrong in those settings. when ubuntu started with default driver it was working all fine(the screen was split, and 1920x1200 was working as its native resolution as separate screen)... now with the recommended driver it covers around half of its native res, and it displays gnome iccons on it (while it should be displayed only on main-screen 1280x... crt)
[14:08] <ikonia> ExploWare: dies the command line say "busybox" ?
[14:08] <ramontayag> ActionParsnip: yup, i did that but nothing happened.
[14:08] <ramontayag> fn+f3
[14:09] <Lartza_> I got some motherboard dropped

[14:09] <demmon> can i get my support here for Geubuntu
[14:09] <ExploWare> ikonia, no, it seems to be bash, and gives an ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ line
[14:09] <ikonia> demmon: not here
[14:10] <lobuz> it looks like if it was trying to clone my lowres crt to 1920 lcd
[14:10] <ikonia> ExploWare: are you sure your not using the install, eg: the OS on the disk, rather than the CD
[14:10] <bamball> does anyone know why multi-threaded mplayer is still not in the main branch..?
[14:10] <ikonia> bamball: a good question, I believe it is in jaunty but not %100
[14:10] <benjamin__> anyone here have any ideas how I can get my SVideo output working?
[14:11] <mattycoze> hey back again; the net cut out before; i'm having a go with motion atm, has anyone had any luck getting it to work on ubuntu?

[14:11] <dawid> anyone got a problem with laptop keyboard that sometimes doesnt work ?
[14:11] <ramontayag> ActionParsnip: it must be some script that's started if it sees a cable is connected.

[14:12] <resno> ikonia: thanks
 I tried to compile my own mplayer from the multi-threaded branch.. unable to get the vo drivers
[14:13] <ikonia> bamball: I ended up building my own also,
[14:13] <ExploWare> ikonia, the HD has windows, so it's the only option... Could it be there is a Live session started, but then for the Server edition? (btw: downloaded 8.10, server 32bit)
[14:13] <benjamin__> anyone have nay ideas here, i have tried setting up my graphics card manually
[14:13] <benjamin__> didn't help
[14:13] <benjamin__> :S
[14:13] <ikonia> ExploWare: there isn't a live session server CD
[14:14] <ikonia> ExploWare: when you boot - do you get a bit ubuntu logo and a menu with options ?
[14:14] <jmap82> any ideas on how to capture terminal output when '>' redirect can't do it?
[14:14] <NickUK`> Hello, Can anyone help me with my graphics drivers they have been working fine until earlier today now i cannot watch TV nor play games.
 did you end up getting it to work with xv and smplayer?
[14:14] <ExploWare> ikonia, that's what I guessed.. Yes, and there I selected install, but it also offered a live session...
[14:14] <ikonia> bamball: I don't use either of those products
[14:14] <ikonia> ExploWare: there is a live session option on the server CD - I can't see one
[14:14] <NickUK`> Can anyone help me with my graphics drivers they have been working fine until earlier today now i cannot watch TV nor play games.
[14:14] <bamball> ikonia: so what vo do u use?
[14:14] <sipior> jmap82: you probably just need to redirect standard error as well as output. so try "2>&1 >" instead
[14:15] <ikonia> bamball: mplayer
[14:15] <ikonia> the xv component does work though
[14:15] <fevel> Nick__: see if they uninstalled the proprietary graphics for some reason
[14:15] <sipior> jmap82: also, have a look at "tee". lovely program, might be useful to you.
[14:15] <ExploWare> ikonia, I guess it must be a desktop installer... I'll try a redownload from another server... thanks for now...
[14:15] <jmap82> sipior: thanks
[14:15] <bamball> ikonia: you didn't need to specify -vo [driver] and it works?
[14:15] <mattycoze> hey has anyone tried motion for camera surveilance?
[14:16] <mattycoze> i'm having problems getting the program to work;
[14:16] <evantandersen> i tried installing a different usplash, but when i boot it just prints a lot of text like this : Random Computer Part            [OK]
[14:16] <okey666> mattycoze: I used to have motion, what exactly is the problem?
[14:16] <evantandersen> it doesn't even show the normal splash at all!
[14:17] <mattycoze> okey666 well i *think* i got the config file right, except for when i get the daemon working it works for about 10 seconds then cuts out
[14:17] <mattycoze> but during that 10 seconds i get enough time to go into firefox and go 'localhost:8000'
[14:17] <ExploWare> ikonia, I've found the bug, I pressed back once in firefox where the 'desktop' version gets selected again, even though the version, mirror and arch. stay as chosen... sorry
[14:18] <ikonia> ExploWare: no apologies needed, well spotted
[14:18] <DJones> Does anybody use a removable drive bay with ubuntu? I've just been given a pc with one fitted and I'm wondering whether to leave it in place and use it, or just remove it and use teh space for a second cd/dvd, I'm more interested in whether there are any issues and if changing the drive in the slot would cause mount problems, it looks like a novatech model
[14:18] <sliverchair> is the repos down? I can't install anything from ph.archive.ubuntu.com
[14:18] <mattycoze> then it comes up with a username & password thing "Motion Security Access" but i don't remember specifying a password... it';s not in the config file
[14:18] <mattycoze> okey666 I'm using 8.10 btw
[14:18] <okey666> mattycoze: 32 bit?
[14:18] <evantandersen> does anyone know about usplash failing
[14:19] <mattycoze> okey666 yeah 32 but.
[14:19] <mattycoze> *32-bit
[14:19] <ramontayag> any ideas? :)
[14:19] <mattycoze> okay666 it's actually a laptop i'm testing this program on first not a server.
[14:20] <okey666> mattycoze: it seems to create a user group "motion" are you in the group?
[14:20] <mattycoze> okey666 umm not that I'm aware of how do i do that?
[14:21] <okey666> mattycoze: go system>>admin>>users and groups>> unlock>> manage groups>> find motion>> properties>> members and tick the box by your name

[14:22] <mattycoze> oh wow; okay so i've done that okey666 (how come this isn't in any of the manuals i';ve read?)
[14:22] <danwagon> yeah

[14:23] <aRahim> i have to do 'ifconfig eth0 up' to bring the link and then connect all the time

[14:23] <aRahim> gartral: ok

[14:28] <wamty> can you help me please?
[14:28] <scuser> hi all, any help with this error http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/146956/
[14:28] <scuser> ?
[14:28] <ikonia> wamty: if you ask a question I can try
[14:28] <gartral> metus: ISOs *should* be burned a 4x, but i get away as high as 20
[14:28] <gartral> away with*
[14:29] <metus> gartal: my friend only have x10 the lowest
[14:29] <sipior> metus: generally it is. buffer underruns are rather rare these days on modern hardware.
[14:29] <gartral> metus: you should be ok
[14:29] <metus> thanks a lot
[14:29] <thiebaude> metus: cd's should be burned at the lowest speed
[14:29] <wamty> well i was installing ubuntu for the first time ...
[14:29] <mattycoze> okey666 nah i have no idea :(
[14:29] <mattycoze> sucks to be me.
[14:29] <sipior> thiebaude: respectfully, i must say that that is simply not true.
[14:30] <thaednevol> wamty, do you have wired connection?
[14:30] <BDis> Does Ubuntu 8.10 work with laptops that have docking stations.  Specifiaclly I have a dockking station with a keyboard monitor mouse, and want to be able to dock/undock it without Ubuntu locking up?
[14:30] <okey666> mattycoze: add a -n to the end of the motion command
[14:30] <wamty> ikonia: i tried live session my wifi didnt work so i was told not to trust live session
[14:30] <wamty> so i installed it
[14:30] <ikonia> BDis: shouldn't lock up - but it can mess up your Xorg
[14:30] <thiebaude> sipior: burning at the highest speed there is a possiblity of data lost
[14:30] <wamty> well everything was fine but my wifi didnt work still
[14:30] <RizR> how do I receive system mail in my root account? examples: cron status emails etc
[14:30] <wamty> ikonia, so i wrapped it  and still it didnt work
[14:30] <ikonia> wamty: what wirless card do you have ?
[14:31] <sipior> thiebaude: there are many options between the lowest speed and the highest.
[14:31] <wamty> ikonia: funnything is if i go to hardware drivers it sys its installed an working?
[14:31] <thiebaude> sipior: true
[14:31] <ikonia> wamty: what wirless card do you have ?
[14:31] <wamty> ikonia: broadcaom

[14:31] <sipior> thiebaude: on modern hardware, with decent drivers, you're wasting your time burning at x1 or x4.
[14:31] <BDis> I can deal with manually switching the monitors, ie turning the secondary display off and on, but it locks up when I place the laptop back in the dock.  I don't know wher to start to find out where the problem is.  I'm running a Dell Latitude D20
[14:31] <BDis> D620
[14:31] <mattycoze> okey666 oh that works; see pastebin --> http://pastebin.com/m6eef86b5
[14:32] <ikonia> kFj: arc problem if thats youru localhost
[14:32] <ikonia> your
[14:32] <kFj> hmm ok
[14:32] <wamty> ikonia: broadcaom
[14:32] <mattycoze> okey666 (from line 32 onwards...)
[14:32] <mattycoze> **35
[14:32] <okey666> mattycoze: ok, where you have told it to save the pictures in a directory which it cannot write to
[14:32] <ikonia> wamty: open a terminal and do "ifconifg -a" please put the output in a pastebin please.
[14:32] <mattycoze> yeah :)
[14:33] <mattycoze> how do i give it permissions?
[14:33] <okey666> mattycoze: did you create the directory?
[14:33] <mattycoze> hang on i'll check; I was just blindly following a tutorial at the time
[14:33] <Gorja> hi
[14:33] <rafa_> hi! im spanish, ok? well... i have a notebook that hdmi out sound not work...  any idea?
[14:34] <Lartza_> How do I easily see some basic hardware info?
[14:34] <ikonia> Lartza_: what sort of info ?
[14:34] <mattycoze> okey666 actually I never created one by the looks of things - by default it was /Security ??
[14:34] <jmap82> sipior: thanks again for you help... I tried "2>&1>" and tee and I think we're in the right direction, but the program I'm trying to capture output from seems to be output-ing to a place that can't be read by those means...
[14:34] <mattycoze> but i don't have that folder...
[14:35] <mattycoze> i'll change it to a folder in my user directory or something
[14:35] <rafa_> any one can help me?
[14:35] <jmap82> I'm trying to capture the output of HandBrakeCLI to use its title info in a script...
[14:35] <Lartza_> Thinking of replacing my 800Mhz server cpu with 3Ghz one(I know, better than my gaming cpu) but I need to know motherboard type and cpu type
[14:35] <okey666> mattycoze: yes, that should fix it
[14:35] <erUSUL> !es | rafa_
[14:35] <Gorja> mh.... can a Ubuntu-Professional please /query me?
[14:35] <Lartza_> So simply, motherboard and cpu type
[14:35] <isiah> my wireless card randomly died. I typed in ifconfig wlan0 in the terminal. I am using alpha 3 jaunty is that what fixed the problem?
[14:35] <swearengen> If I installed intrepid -> vista -> fresh install jaunty beta, is the controlling GRUB installed in the second or first partition with ubuntu?
[14:35] <erUSUL> !ask | Gorja
[14:35] <ikonia> Lartza_: cat /proc/cpuinfo will show you the cpu details
[14:35] <sipior> jmap82: the output is being dumped to the terminal, yes?
[14:35] <Gorja> thx erUSUL
[14:36] <erUSUL> Lartza_: sudo lshw | less
[14:36] <ikonia> Lartza_: your motherboard is harder to display, lshw is your best bet
[14:36] <jmap82> yeah, I can read it, but I can't seem to capture it
[14:36] <swearengen> If I installed intrepid -> vista -> fresh install jaunty beta, is the controlling GRUB installed in the second or first partition with ubuntu? (What I want to do is format and delete the intrepid)
[14:36] <crankharder> why is f.label :uploaded_data and f.field_form :uploaded_data translating to   for="uploaded_file_uploaded_data" and name="uploaded_file[uploaded_data]" ?
[14:36] <jmap82> I've tried pipes and redirects and now tee...
[14:36] <thiebaude> hi ActionParsnip
[14:36] <mattycoze> okey666 woah it's creating pics alright :p I checked the directory
[14:37] <crankharder> *file_field
[14:37] <sipior> jmap82: can you show the precise command that you used?
[14:37] <jmap82> the only thing that seems to capture it is 'script' but I can't use that in a script...
[14:37] <Gorja> i thinking of upgrade to Ibex... last time i clicked "update" there was this warning saying something about my graphics... i clicked "update" 3 Mins ago and it wasn't saying something like that... can i upgrade to Ibex now or do i have to fear my Laptop Graphics won't work????
[14:37] <okey666> mattycoze: you may want to tell it only to take 1 per 10 secs or what ever, I am having loads of fun with mine now!
[14:37] <Lartza_> So my Pentium 4 won't fit to the Socket 370 :D
[14:38] <Gorja> P4 is SOcket 775
[14:38] <mattycoze> okey666 yeah actually i'm wondering whether this motion can take streaming video?
[14:38] <jmap82> "./HandBrakeCLI -i /media/cdrom0/VIDEO_TS/ -t 0 | tee titles.txt" which then runs HandBrake as expected, but the file is blank
[14:38] <Gorja> as ALL new Pentiums ;)
[14:38] <timc> Hello! Will Jaunty 9.04 include Okular 0.8.2? Intrepid 8.10 has Okular 0.7.4.
[14:38] <erUSUL> Gorja: your hardware should continue working after an upgrade
[14:38] <erUSUL> !jaunty | timc
[14:38] <mattycoze> okey666 this is mainly for the purposes of my lab work @ uni
[14:38] <mattycoze> (tracking mice around a cage hehe)
[14:38] <okey666> mattycoze: I think it film, streaming may be another matter
[14:39] <Gorja> i thinking of upgrade to Ibex... last time i clicked "update" there was this warning saying something about my graphics... i clicked "update" 3 Mins ago and it wasn't saying something like that... can i upgrade to Ibex now or do i have to fear my Laptop Graphics won't work????
[14:39] <timc> thanks erUSUL
[14:39] <erUSUL> jmap82: maybe HandBrake is using stderr instead of stdout ?
[14:39] <homy> !nouveau
[14:39] <mattycoze> okey666 fair enough
[14:39] <sipior> jmap82: can you try "./HandBrakeCLI -i /media/cdrom0/VIDEO_TS/ -t 0 2>&1 | tee titles.txt"?
[14:39] <mattycoze> for the mean time this is cool :)
[14:39] <okey666> mattycoze: good
[14:39] <mattycoze> okey666 how do you get it to work within firefox by going 'localhost:8000' i still can't access it through that method
[14:40] <okey666> mattycoze: default is http://localhost:8081/
[14:40] <mattycoze> oh okay
[14:40] <happyhessian> does anyone know how to get a checkpoint vpn client running on amd64?
[14:40] <Gorja> i thinking of upgrade to Ibex... last time i clicked "update" there was this warning saying something about my graphics... i clicked "update" 3 Mins ago and it wasn't saying something like that... can i upgrade to Ibex now or do i have to fear my Laptop Graphics won't work????

[14:41] <wamty> ikonia: im trying for the first time
[14:41] <happyhessian> i see
[14:41] <mattycoze> okey666 nah that didn't work i'll check the config file brb
[14:41] <jmap82> sipior: Alright! That did it!  Thank you so much!  it's been bugging me for about 5 hours now!  hahah I can finally go to sleep :)
[14:41] <Lartza_> Now I need to determine what integrated GPU motherboard has by just looking at the motherboard :S

[14:41] <swearengen> happyhessian: people can though, that's just my experience lol
[14:41] <rafa_> i have a notebook with hdmi out, but the sound not work... any one can i help me?
[14:41] <Gorja> Slart, i just wanna now if NVidia driver are proper for Ibex now
[14:41] <dawid> can be "noapic" and "nolapic" a cure for laptop kayboard problems, or its not connected to ?

[14:42] <sipior> jmap82: yep, glad you have it working.
[14:42] <mattycoze> kk thanks for your help okey666

[14:42] <|f|> what do I need to press at boot to do a manual boot (select which services to start)?
[14:42] <dooglus> when I double-click on a flash applet inside firefox it loses keyboard focus
[14:42] <dooglus> is there some way to stop that happening?
[14:42] <evantandersen> my custom usplash does not work. I'm on a macbook dual booting. It just says like RAM     [OK] when its booting then doesn't show any splash at all.
[14:42] <Bhavesh2177> I
[14:42] <Slart> Gorja: doesn't really justify spamming your question every 2 minutes..
[14:42] <GRuB_one> dual boot
[14:42] <Bhavesh2177> you will have to press "I" for interactive boot
[14:42] <Gorja> Slart, i know... sry :)
[14:43] <Slart> Gorja: you might want to include what graphics card you're using, what version of ubuntu you're running etc
[14:43] <thiebaude> !ask
[14:43] <Gorja> Slart, i am using a GeForce 448Go on 8.04
[14:43] <Slart> Gorja: 32 bit or 64 bit?
[14:43] <Gorja> Slart,  32
[14:44] <happyhessian> swearengen: perhaps you could help me figure out a lesser problem.  i've installed snx after having to force some i386 old libs but when i run it, i get: snx: error while loading shared libraries: libcpc++-libc6.1-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.  it seems that this is what is supposed to be fixed by forcing the right libs with LD_PRELOAD but that doesn't work either.
[14:44] <Gorja> Slart, its just a workstation ^^
[14:44] <rafa_> any people have a notebook with hdmi?
[14:44] <Slart> Gorja: now put all that into one question, repeat every 20 minutes or so, use the time you might spend waiting googling or searching the forums
[14:44] <ne2k__> I have some pptp connections in ~/.gconf/system/networking/connections/*/vpn/%gconf.xml and ~/.gconf/system/networking/vpn_connections/*/%gconf.xml which were created with 8.04. Since updating to 8.10 I cannot use them any more, although the files are still there. How can I convert these for use with the new network-manager?
[14:44] <dooglus> when I double-click on a flash applet inside firefox it loses keyboard focus; is there some way to stop that happening?
[14:44] <happyhessian> i have that file in /usr/lib--i don't know why it can't find it
[14:45] <Gorja> Slart, i just wanna now if Nvidia driver for Ibex are now proper enough to upgrade to ;)
[14:45] <|f|> anyone?
[14:45] <yinlong> who can help me?
[14:46] <rafa_> and me????
[14:46] <bjsnider> Gorja, the nvidia driver in jaunty is fine.
[14:46] <jrib> rafa_, yinlong: we can only find out after you ask your question
[14:46] <Lartza_> Can ubuntu shoew me my powersource watt amount?
[14:46] <Slart> Lartza_: try powertop.. not sure if it gives you an actual value or not
[14:47] <Gorja> bjsnider, so i can upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 and my graphics will work?
[14:47] <rafa_> i have a notebook with hdmi out, but the sound not work...
[14:47] <rafa_> jrib
[14:47] <isiah> Lartza_: try typing into the console     apropos power         you will get a list of cool programs that might help
[14:47] <bjsnider> Gorja, pardon me? this is the jaunty channel,not intrepid, and intrepid is about to be surpassed by jaunty
[14:48] <Slart> !details | rafa_
[14:48] <Gorja> bjsnider, okay... i didn't know ^^
[14:48] <BDis> jaunty is the 9.04 and intrepid is 8.10??
[14:48] <Slart> correct BDis
[14:48] <Gorja> BDis correct
[14:48] <BDis> Cool.  I get the names mixed up!
[14:48] <bjsnider> they're based on the date
[14:48] <|f|> ubuntu doesn't support interactive booting?
[14:49] <bjsnider> in other words,  the forth month of 2009. 0904, 9.04
[14:49] <rafa_> Slart, .... with intrepid and jaunty i have the problem ok?
[14:49] <BDis> OH cool.
[14:49] <Gorja> bjsnider, are the nvidia_alternate_driver proper enough to upgrade to 9?
[14:49] <rafa_> all works except hdmi sound out
[14:49] <platius> Gorja;  I am running 32 bit Ibex with nvidia 96xx driver runing fine. The liveCD may not have had the driver but the updates do.
[14:49] <BDis> Didn't know that.  I''m a Windows Engineer trying to augment my skills with Linux knowledge!
[14:49] <bjsnider> Gorja, what alternate driver?
[14:49] <Slart> rafa_: sorry, can't help you
[14:49] <Gorja> platius, i am running a GeForce 448 Go...
[14:50] <rafa_> ok thanks Slart
[14:50] <Gorja> bjsnider, those that will be loaded after install thru internet
[14:50] <Gorja> platius, so its a ooooooolder one :D
[14:50] <bjsnider> Gorja, i'm sure the old drivers are ok.
[14:50] <BDis> is the 9.04 version stable enough to load?  IE ia there still a large amount of issues?
[14:51] <Gorja> bjsnider, thx
[14:51] <Gorja> bjsnider, thats what i want to know
[14:51] <platius> Gorja;  nvida claims that the 96xx supports your card
[14:51] <yinlong> i installed a ubuntu,but when i boot ,the reply is:Filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist.
[14:51] <bjsnider> BDis, that dpeends on your hardware and what you need the system to do. it's definitely stable enough for me
[14:51] <jrib> BDis: #ubuntu+1 for jaunty discussion please
[14:51] <yinlong> who knows why?
[14:51] <isiah> BDis: I am using it now. Seems to work fine
[14:51]  * Gorja says: Kay Guys and Gals. THX 4 help! Gorja is out
[14:51] <BDis> anyone using it on a laptop?
[14:52] <BDis> K moving channels
[14:52] <isiah> Bdis: I am using jaunty on a laptop
[14:52] <Pici> isiah: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty/9.04 support/discussion.
[14:52] <happyhessian> well thanks anyway :-/

[14:53] <Dreamglider> i have an old laptop connected to lan with a USB to Eth adapter, what's the real speed i can get of a usb 1.1 or 1.0 port ?
[14:54] <daftykins> 1MB/sec
[14:54] <Dreamglider> copying a file now and getting 580Kb/s
[14:54] <gartral> daftykins: you can puse 2 mb, but it requires NOTHING else be on the same bus, hub or otherwise
[14:55] <gartral> push*
[14:55] <iceroot> Dreamglider: 12MBit/s
[14:55] <Slart> Dreamglider: usb 1 is pretty slow.. 12 MB/s if wikipedia is correct
[14:55] <daftykins> wrong person gartral
[14:55] <daftykins> why does everyone always do that with me =|
[14:55] <gartral> im hit with it too, dont worry :)
[14:55] <Dreamglider> there is only the usb to eth adapter/interface on the port (the laptop only has one usb port)
[14:56] <Slart> daftykins: it's a conspiracy, we've got this little club and pretty soo... oh.. neverming
[14:56] <daftykins> ;) Slart
[14:56] <gartral> Slart: wha..?
[14:58]  * lenin on gdm weather not appearing on time/date  what to do?
[14:59] <Slart> lenin: you've configured the weather applet with your country, city and so on?
[14:59] <lenin> yes
[14:59] <lenin> it used to work before
[14:59] <lenin> but after I did a panel reset
[15:00] <Slart> lenin: what city, country are you using?
[15:00] <lenin> I added those again
[15:00] <IHS_Intern> what's the command to force-kill a frozen app?
[15:00] <lenin> its Dhaka, Bangladesh
[15:00] <IHS_Intern> I know kill and killall..but that isn't working.
[15:00] <Slart> IHS_Intern: kill, pkill or xkill all works, in differnt ways
[15:00] <Slart> IHS_Intern: you can often add a -9 after these commands to be a bit more stern about it
[15:01] <lenin> @Slart before I used to get an option to set  the  local  satellite Earth station maintaining the time
[15:01] <IHS_Intern> thank you, Slart, that is what I was looking for.
[15:01] <lenin> now that option dont come
[15:01] <eldenz> http://rafb.net/p/9PCYOs25.html any idea why it cannot execute the java binary with debug symbols?
[15:01] <Slart> lenin: hmm.. I get weather for Dhaka, Bangladesh.. is it foggy outside?
[15:01] <lenin> nope not foggy
[15:01] <lenin> its evening now
[15:02] <Slart> lenin: sorry.. Haze, clear sky, 32 degrees celsius.. sound about right?
[15:02] <lenin> the extra weather applete dont work well either
[15:02] <mahiti-irc> hi
[15:02] <lenin> yes Slart its exact
[15:03] <Slart> lenin: hmm.. you are using intrepid?
[15:03] <carlf> anyone know why after doing the latest update in 8.04 why flash player will not play vids from places like you tube?  I tried to reinstall flash player and made no difference
[15:03] <lenin> yes
[15:03] <lenin> i upgraded from Hardy though
[15:03] <mahiti-irc> does the ubuntu server i386 os have support for 64-bit?
[15:03] <mahiti-irc> does the ubuntu server i386 os have support for 64-bit kernel?
[15:03] <Slart> lenin: try right clicking the clock/weather thingy and remove it from the panel.. then try adding it back again.. see if it kicks in
[15:03] <lenin> carlf try to get medibuntu   and ubuntu-restricted-extras
[15:03] <nikonoel> mahiti-irc: I guess making the question once is sufficient ;)
[15:04] <lenin> Slart : i tried them lots of times
[15:04] <Slart> mahiti-irc: I think you'll need 64 bit libraries and such for that 64 bit kernel.. so afaik No
[15:04] <lenin> its not like ubuntu defaultly had
[15:04] <eldenz> nikonoel, as he forgot a valuable information.... well nvm ;)
[15:04] <mahiti-irc> nikonoel, sorry had a typo, tahts y
[15:04] <Slart> mahiti-irc: you can install a full 64 bit ubuntu though, if you want
[15:04] <BDis> anone notice with dual monitors the bar at the top cuts off the Minimize, Maximize, close strip of the application window?
[15:04] <lenin> @Slart do you see location as  Dhaka > Kurmitola. Dia ?
[15:04] <knk0> hi, does curent fglrx works on 9.04? I have ati X2300
[15:05] <wamty> ikonia: are you still here?

[15:06] <gartral> MusicGenious: this isnt the place, bot if its a canon camera, you can use the CHDK
[15:07] <lenin> if I add the weather applete separately it shows the option to select  Dhaka. Kurmitola. Dia .. but it doesnt work like the default one @Slart
[15:07] <MusicGenious> i know it isnt the place but theres alot of people here and it was just a general linux question
[15:08] <gartral> MusicGenious: no, that was firmware/device related
[15:08] <Slart> lenin: here's what it looks like http://imagebin.org/44773
[15:08] <MusicGenious> where do i ask about that stuff?

[15:11] <Slart> lenin: I just tried the standalone weather applet and I get the same result.. 32 degrees, haze etc.. for location it is Asia->Bangladesh->Dhaka->Kurmitola, Dia
[15:11] <lenin> Slart .. the standalone one keeps updating it dont always update.. the default one is better
[15:12] <lenin> After selecting  Dhaka, Bangladesh I got those   latitude and logitude.. but  its still blank there @Slart

[15:16] <tomkirby> does anyone know how to get programs built from source and installed in ~/local/ to show up in the main menu? is there a search path that has to be changed somewhere?

[15:18] <jovaro> I need some help with lirc and my remote control...
[15:18] <tomkirby> lenin: but if I install something in /usr/local it shows up in the menu automatically. how can I replicate this behaviour with ~/local/ ?
[15:18] <upc2> salut qui peut me dire comment installer un serveur slis sur ubuntu svp
[15:18] <jovaro> I installed lirc and there is a configuration file in /etc/lircd.conf, but nothing happens when I use irw and press buttons on the remote
[15:18] <jovaro> how can I find the problem?
[15:19] <N00bba> What would cause this: I have 6 computers in a network 3 linux (2x xubuntu, 1 ubuntu) + 2 WinXP + Vista, and suddenly all linux computers dropped network to outside (internet)... the "home" network was fine, and they could talk to each other but not one ubuntu could connect to outside... this was weird, and i am bit concerned. Some DNS thinggys perhaps?

[15:20] <timon> Hmm, I'm having a weird issue with alsa. My audigy2 gives me static when the sound is off/non-active, any ideas?
[15:20] <timon> I fiddled around with the mixer some, but no luck
[15:20] <Slart> N00bba: try pinging 74.125.43.104, that's google.com from me
[15:20] <Slart> N00bba: if that works and ping www.google.com doesn't work, it's probably dns related
[15:20] <N00bba> Slart, it went away after restart..
[15:20] <lo1270> Anyone know how I can install the package libxerces27??
[15:20] <N00bba> i cannot replicate it anymore

[15:22] <kitchenrange> So, ive been trying to burn some dvds off of avi files I have downloaded and all works well until i get to the finall step.  when i type in the final step and press enter, a segmentation fault error comes up.  Any ideas?
[15:22] <N00bba> Slart: Ok, thanks. I was bit worried. It was so weird. Ty
[15:22] <Slart> timon: interference from other components in your computer perhaps?
[15:23] <Slart> timon: I have the same issue with my internal sound card.. in windows I get a low volume static.. in linux it's quiet
[15:23] <resno> I feel rather dumb, while following a tutorial, i chown my directory and no icant scp to it. What do I issue to get it back?
[15:23] <wtv> my PC is a low performing one. GNOME works slow, and KDE slower. can anyone tell me what can i use as a faster alternative?
[15:24] <chiliblue> icewm
[15:24] <resno> wtv: have you tried xbunutu?
[15:24] <IHS_Intern> XFCE is always an option
[15:24] <wtv> resno: is it faster?
[15:24] <IHS_Intern> I use XFCE on the 600mhz+256MB RAM dells we're putting back up
[15:24] <resno> wtv: what are you specs?
[15:24] <wtv> resno: 512 mb ram and P 4 HT processor
[15:25] <IHS_Intern> not going to say it flys, but it is far better than with gnome or KDE.
[15:25] <kitchenrange> For the past couple of days, I have been trying to burn some .avi files to a dvd.  Im using videotrans and everything works completely fine until the very last step.  When i get to the very last step, it comes up with a segmentation fault.  Does anyone know why that would be?
[15:25] <IHS_Intern> XFCE would fly on that, wtv
[15:25] <NickUK`> Hello, Can anyone help me with my ubuntu graphics drivers, They were working fine earlier now they are not working correctly
[15:25] <UbuntuMe> I have used gpartition and I have allocated 20Gb of unformatted free space for ubuntu... When installing via the CD, in the partitioning step... which option shld I use.. Cos Guided - use the largest continous free space seems to taking up the whole HD also...
[15:25] <UbuntuMe> Should I use *Manual*
[15:25] <wtv> IHS_Intern: k. how do i get it from repos?
[15:25] <skorzen> UbuntuMe, yes, do it manually.
[15:26] <resno> ﻿i chown my directory and no icant scp to it. What do I issue to get it back?
[15:26] <skorzen> kitchenrange, have you tried devede?
[15:26] <IHS_Intern> Well, xubuntu is a full ubuntu sub-distro, and you can probably just go to the add-remove programs thing and search for it
[15:26] <NickUK`> Hello, Can anyone help me with my ubuntu graphics drivers, They were working fine earlier now they are not working correctly
[15:26] <skorzen> NickUK`, what's the problem now?

[15:26] <FloodBot2> NickUK`: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[15:28] <skorzen> kitchenrange, good luck then.
[15:28] <scunizi> UbuntuMe: how much space to you have overall?
[15:28] <scunizi> UbuntuMe: laptop or desktop?
[15:29] <steveccc> hi all - when is the next ubuntu out - is it a couple of weeks?
[15:29] <IHS_Intern> 16 days, I think
[15:29] <scunizi> !jaunty | steveccc
[15:30] <UbuntuMe> scunizi: laptop.. I have formatted the 300 Gb as ntfs and have created the partitions...  But however, i didnt partition as ext3 for the remaining space and just left it as free unformatted..
[15:30] <miche> adacole: see /etc/init.d/skeleton for creating a script, and man update-rc.d for setting the right links in the boot process
[15:30] <steveccc> looking forward to it.  Has anyone else had the problem on 8.04 where after installing updates the sound seemed to break.  I presume its linked to pulse audio but am unsure how to resolve the issue - can anyone help
[15:30] <scunizi> UbuntuMe: so you're going to use that for an ubuntu install.. the unformatted space?  how big is that?
[15:30] <UbuntuMe> scunizi: if I format the free space as ext3 using gparted, would it easier to install ubuntu.. w/o going thru this *manual* step
[15:31] <UbuntuMe> scunizi: 20Gb unformatted spcae
[15:31] <scuser> hi all, this file http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/146992/ generates error "parse error before `false'" any help please :?
[15:32] <scunizi> UbuntuMe: depends.. it would certainly be easier to let the installer do all the work.. but since I came in late on the conversation I missed some key factors.. is windows installed? do you want dual boot? how large is the unformatted space?
[15:32] <Lartza_> What would I need the regular kernel for on server ubuntu?
[15:32] <Lartza_> Compiling programs would be one?
[15:32] <Lartza_> Or wiat forget that
[15:33] <Lartza_> But is there anything I can't do with the server edition?
[15:33] <scunizi> UbuntuMe: I was busy typing and missed the 20Gb part.. what about the rest?
[15:33] <Pici> Lartza_: Some restricted drivers may not be available for the -server kernel.
[15:33] <ziroday> Lartza_: the -server kernel also has PAE enabled
[15:33] <Lartza_> ziroday: THat's bad?
[15:33] <UbuntuMe> scunizi: yeah.. dual boot... my laptop came with vista.. I used to gparted to free up 20Gb free space .... to install ubuntu... the Rest 300Gb is vista (OS) and data.... :)
[15:34] <chuckh1958> Is there a way to see who else is viewing your desktop via remote desktop viewer?
[15:34] <ziroday> Lartza_: it means you can run 32bit kernel but still address over 4GB of ram
[15:34] <__8472> hi, does anybody know for what precisely is the FILENAME refering in the SMBCLIENT ? thx
[15:34] <Lartza_> Pici: It porpably doesn't matter, I would need nvidia, but since server can propabl run with nv there is no real need
[15:34] <Lartza_> ziroday: And is that BAD?
[15:35] <ziroday> Lartza_: are you running 32bit?
[15:35] <Lartza_> I am really looking for bad stuff on server kernel
[15:35] <Lartza_> Yes
[15:35] <ziroday> Lartza_: do you want to use more then 3GB or ram?
[15:35] <Lartza_> ziroday: No
[15:35] <Lartza_> I am not planning to upgrade my 284Mb
[15:35] <ziroday> Lartza_: then don't worry about it.
[15:35] <scunizi> UbuntuMe: ok.. ubuntu will certianly fit in 20Gb so you could certainly let the installer do its thing by itself.  Afterward you may want to carve out 100Gb of space to move your /home to.  I say this be cause you're going to fall in love and will need more space for your pics, audio etc.. :)  but that can be done post-facto
[15:35] <thewrath> who sent me am essage
[15:36] <Lartza_> Second thing, what is different from the minimal and regular server install?
[15:36] <a_co> irc.racrew.us
[15:36] <Lartza_> It doesn't let me choose what servers to install on regular?
[15:36] <harley> :)
[15:36] <a_co> #j *irc.racrew.us
[15:37] <a_co> #j #rc.racrew.us
[15:37] <quaal> how do i turn off this auto fsck check you must run fsck manually before i'll stop failing the boot sequence garbage
[15:37] <a_co> #j #irc.racrew.us
[15:37] <quaal> this is absolutely unacceptable
[15:37] <quaal> i cant e ven ssh
[15:37] <Dreamglider> a_co, it's /server irc.racrew.us
[15:37] <Dreamglider> a_co, and /j #channel
[15:37] <UbuntuMe> scunizi: lets say.. i want to use gparted to create a partition.... must it be primary or logical.. and it should be ext3 format.... Am i right on this.
[15:38] <Lartza_> So difference of ubuntu server and minimal? from the same cd
[15:39] <may0> Ubuntume, do you have windows installed and are wanting to dual boot?
[15:40] <scunizi> UbuntuMe: primary or logical doesn't matter.. if you find a need for more than 4 primary partitions then you have to go with 3 primary and make the 4th logical with more partitions below that.  ext3 is the default file system but it doesn't really matter if you used gparted to make partitions and didn't assign a file system to them.. the installer will allow you to do that.
[15:40] <sh_> can anyone help me to install google earth from medibuntu?
[15:41] <sh_> when i try to install it sais only one software management tool can be open at one time...but i dont have anything else open
[15:41] <scunizi> sh_: if you have the medibuntu repo's installed then use System/Admin/Synaptic and "refresh" the database of available programs.. then search for google earth and install.. simple :)
[15:42] <scunizi> sh_:  do you have add/remove and synaptic open at the same time?

[15:49] <kristian1> scunizi : actually i burnt the disc and cp the disc with the same account.
[15:49] <scunizi> sh_: ok.. adding the medibuntu repository is a two step process.. one is listing the location line the second is adding the key.. there are instructions on the medibuntu for how to do this
[15:49] <pROCKrammer> arvind_khadri: by the way is there any web site of this application?
[15:49] <Irfy> Is there a way to tell evince which font size to use when typing into pdf forms?
[15:49] <Irfy> When i type something into a pdf form in evince, the font used is much larger than it should be.
[15:49] <arvind_khadri> pROCKrammer, no its there in the repo's
[15:49] <kristian1> scunizi : oh yes. that should work. :-) thanks! too bad it happens by default though.
[15:49] <scunizi> kristian1: weird.. well something changed from one to the next to the next.. it's fixable though
[15:49] <arvind_khadri> !find youtube-dl > pROCKrammer

[15:49] <sh_> scunizi: : so..how many steps are actually involved? :)
[15:50] <Machtin> hm.. how to mux an audio channel into a .mkv file? :o
[15:50] <pROCKrammer> arvind_khadri: thanx
[15:50] <sh_> scunizi:  i managed to run it now..the package manager...and i installed google earth....and...it crashes when i start it
[15:50] <armence> arving_khadri: What should I look for? I can't get anything except an Xterm. (I'm on the LiveCD right now)
[15:50] <kristian1> scunizi : yep! thanks for your sollution. :-)
[15:50] <mib_g59svfpf> can someone help please, im getting so stressed now, i have a amilo 1718 laptop with a athero wireless card, the problem is its not reconized on ubuntu
[15:51] <quaal> nautilus needs CTRL-Z.
[15:51] <arvind_khadri> armence, no login into the machine normal way and see if the snow effect in compiz is enabled
[15:51] <scunizi> sh_: two.. adding the location line to sources.list or through synaptic.. the second is adding the key...... if you added the wrong repository that might be why.. if you're on Jaunty and added the Intrepid repo that would be a no-no.. or the Intrepid repo for Hardy.. etc.
[15:51] <scunizi> kristian1: np :)
[15:51] <__8472> hi, does anybody know for what precisely is the FILENAME refering in the SMBCACLS ? thx
[15:51] <hinkley> Anyone got Poker Stars to work on Ubuntu?
[15:52] <land> greetings earthlings
[15:52] <hinkley> Anyone got Poker Stars to work on Ubuntu?
[15:52] <armence> arving_khadri: When I log on, all I get is a bunch of vertical and horizontal lines that seem to be affected by my mouse moving around but I can't see any icons...
[15:52] <scunizi> !repeat | hinkley
[15:52] <sh_> scunizi: i added the right one...but ive just discovered theres a problem with google earth on ubuntu...so..onto the next error
[15:52] <scunizi> sh_: :)
[15:53] <hinkley> lmfao i got TOLD ahaaha...
[15:53] <sproaty> uh what the hell my firefox just crashed now everything's wiped
[15:53] <__8472> hi, does anybody know for what precisely is the FILENAME refering in the SMBCACLS ? thx
[15:53] <arvind_khadri> armence, ok, did you try running nvidia-xconfig ?
[15:53] <sproaty> bookmarks and stuff gone
[15:54] <armence> arvind_khadri: Nope, I'm not sure what I would do with it...
[15:54] <scunizi> __8472: check in ##linux.. so to get there type /join ##linux
[15:55] <__8472> scunizi: why there, this is partly a linux,
[15:55] <chuckh1958> Is there a way to see who else is viewing your desktop via remote desktop viewer?
[15:55] <arvind_khadri> armence, just run it, in the terminal, when you boot, and get the screen press ctrl+alt+f1 and then login and do nvidia-xconfig and then do startx
[15:55] <scunizi> __8472: sounds like a samba issue.. you're question doesn't make a lot of sense
[15:56] <scunizi> __8472: and nobody here seem to know the answer.. they might
[15:56] <HammerHead66> ﻿chuckh1958: there is I forget the name of the app 1sec
[15:57] <majnoon> trying to speed up a usb hard drive
[15:57] <dooglus> try this: watch a youtube video.  see how you can skip through it with the left and right arrow keys.  then double-click the video while it's playing, and see how you now can't skip.  can you reproduce it?  it doesn't happen in windows.  seems like a bug?
[15:57] <scunizi> majnoon: good luck
[15:57] <chuckh1958> HammerHead66:  Thanks. I just found it. there's an option to display an icon on the panel.
[15:58] <majnoon> in mc i'm getting like 20 KB transfers
[15:58] <sh_> scunizi:  the next error is it wont let me uninstall the google earth which doesnt work "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/googleearth_5.0.11337.1968-0medibuntu7_i386.deb: subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1"
[15:58] <armence> arving_khadri: OK, I'll give that a shot
[15:58] <napzter> Whats is Turbo C equivalent here in Ubuntu? ( I want to code C language)
[15:59] <UbuntuMe> scunizi: can i put the mount point as just */*
[15:59] <scunizi> sh_: you may have to just manually delete the files for it..
[15:59] <natschil> napzter: well, for a simple c compiler use gcc
[15:59] <natschil> !package build-essential
[15:59] <natschil> !build-essential
[16:00] <scunizi> UbuntuMe: if you're manually doing the partitions.. */* is the representation for "root" .. /home and /swap are self explainatory
[16:00] <sh_> scunizi: im sure id get an error with that too... i just tried to use the "Janitor clean up" option to remove old stuff...got an other error "could not clean up properly..wasnt able to locate googlearth"
[16:00] <scunizi> UbuntuMe: / can be 7-8 gigs on your system
[16:01] <UbuntuMe> scunizi: i only got the option for the Mount point...  whats this /home and /swap ... will it appear later in the set up
[16:01] <natschil> napzter: gcc is what is used to compile linux
[16:02] <natschil> naptzer: and most other open-source applications (and closed source)
[16:02] <scunizi> UbuntuMe: remember everything it pretty much a text file so you can search and destroy files belonging to a program.. there is nothing like the windows registry that you have to worry about.
[16:02] <napzter> natschil: how can i download gcc? i can't see it in Add/Remove Aplli.
[16:02] <majnoon> i THINK my puter reading usb 2 as usb 1
[16:03] <UbuntuMe> scunizi: :) ... k, dude.. think, i will just whack and have a go... Anyways, I have the recovery disks, should something go wrong...
[16:03] <Pici> napzter: Most cli-only applications aren't in add/remove.  Install the build-essential package from synaptic or apt-get it
[16:03] <sh_> what is a "missing arch"?
[16:03] <scunizi> UbuntuMe: at minimum an install needs 2 partitions.. / and /swap.. if you're using the auto partitioner then this is what it will do.  the /swap will be automatic
[16:03] <HammerHead66> ﻿chuckh1958: the app that I use is "ettercap" it's vary easy to use
[16:04] <natschil> napzter: if it isn't installed already, install build-essential
[16:04] <natschil> !build-essential | napzter
[16:04] <chuckh1958> HammerHead66: I actually found a checkbox in system/preferences/remotedesktop on the advanced tab. It lets you display an icon in the panel showing who is connected.
[16:04] <Machtin> hm.. how to mux an audio channel into a .mkv file?
[16:04] <mib_39gj3xnl> hi, i have installed ubuntu 9.04 and 8.10 but i cannot get wifi on both, can someone please help ??
[16:05] <Pici> mib_39gj3xnl: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty/9.04 support/discussion.
[16:05] <napzter> natschil: okay in the terminal? what should i type? install apt-get build essential?
[16:06] <HammerHead66> ﻿chuckh1958: ok yea i see you can do it that way too
[16:06] <natschil> napzter: that would do the job, yup
[16:06] <sh_> scunizi: : what is the easiest way to to a clean install? can i just reinstall my 8.10 over jaunty? id like to go back a version
[16:06] <scunizi> sh_: yep..
[16:07] <UbuntuMe> scunizi: when i click on the Device : free space in manual partition.. I Only have the option to do *New partition* and not *New partition table*.. .so i chose *New Partition*... thus I am unable to create a swap partition..
[16:07] <sh_> scunizi: i have windows on the other partition...so i can just ask the installer to install over the jaunty partition?
[16:07] <scunizi> sh_: yes
[16:07] <UbuntuMe> scunizi: so I could just stick with swap file instead... I was reading just now..and it seems that the swap file is as good as swap parition...
[16:08] <HammerHead66> ﻿chuckh1958: thanks for the info
[16:08] <sh_> ok thanks ill try that.. thx for your help
[16:08] <scunizi> UbuntuMe: when you create the new partition you'll have an option to size it.. if you reduce the size by .. say.. 512mb then that extra space can be used for /swap
[16:08] <scunizi> UbuntuMe: maybe.. I've never used a swap file..
[16:09] <HammerHead66> what does it mean if you are getting attacked by your own ip address?
[16:09] <exodus_ms> I'm using amarok ver 1.4.10 on ubuntu 8.10. I was wondering if there was a way to create a borderless visualization window (tools > visualizations > infinite). Maybe use devilspie to create a config file 'infinate.ds' to handle the display of the borderless window?
[16:09] <onthefence9282> is there software in the ubuntu respository that allows me to record video from a webcam? if so, what's it called (can't find any looking through add/remove now)
[16:09] <scunizi> UbuntuMe: just a hint for post install.. don't try to use hybernate or sleep while in ubuntu.. one of those uses swap space and you won't have nearly enough.
[16:10] <ariqs> is there a command line program like growisofs that burns .bin files?
[16:10] <mphill> yes
[16:10] <srdjo> hi all
[16:10] <ariqs> what is it?
[16:11]  * srdjo Can anyone help me with connecting two sites via vpn or something similar ?
[16:11] <scunizi> onthefence9282: cheese maybe.. camorama might.. VLC might be able to as well.. mencoder if you can figure it out etc etc..
[16:11] <chuckh1958> HammerHead66: It's pretty handy. I only wish the rd app had the same built in web server that vncserver has. If I want to share my desktop with someone, they wouldn'thave to install a vnc viewer app. They could just connect to the http:/server:5800
[16:11] <mphill> ariqs: have you checked out cdrecord?
[16:13] <UbuntuMe> scunizi: Oh... K.. I am left with 1Gb free space now...  so I use this space and create new partition and set mount point as /swap... Am i good now ?
[16:13] <scunizi> UbuntuMe: yep.. you doing this with the install cd or the gparted live cd?
[16:13] <UbuntuMe> scunizi: ubuntu CD
[16:13] <HammerHead66> ﻿chuckh1958: sorry man I'm a newbie to Linux. I don't know of anything to help you out.
[16:14] <scunizi> UbuntuMe: ok.. same program.. let-her-rip!
[16:14] <UbuntuMe> scunizi: thanks, dude... Oooooooooh Yeah
[16:14] <Rangers> ?
[16:15] <scunizi> UbuntuMe: you be rockin!
[16:15]  * srdjo Can anyone help me with connecting two sites via vpn or something similar ?
[16:15] <armence> So, I updated my NVIDIA driver this morning and now shortly after I log on, my screen displays a whole bunch of vertical and horizontal lines and no icons or anything. Can anyone help?
[16:15] <wtv> !vmix
[16:15] <mphill> srdjo: have you looked at openvpn?
[16:15] <scunizi> !vpn | srdjo
[16:16] <UbuntuMe> scunizi: How come I clicked forward... and I got this dialog box... "You have not selected any paritions for use as swap space..Enabling swap space is recommended blah blah"... :S
[16:16] <scunizi> UbuntuMe: when you're manually partitoning you still have to take that 1gig of space and tag it as /swap
[16:17] <Tapout> is there a 'pc wizard' type app that takes inventory of the hardware/reports everything found... like pc wizard does in xp
[16:17] <scunizi> Tapout: type sudo lshw in a terminal window

[16:22] <c-ron> my newly compiled kernel is giving up waiting for the root device, /dev/sda5 .. anyone know which module i left out?
[16:22] <el_barto_> anyone here using ubuntu under virtualbox with 3D acceleration ????
[16:22] <armence> I just updated my NVIDIA driver and now shortly after I log on, my screen basically snowcrashes. I just get meaningless vertical and horizontal lines...
[16:22] <scunizi> el_barto_: far as I know it won't work
[16:22] <exodus_ms> I'm using amarok ver 1.4.10 on ubuntu 8.10. I was wondering if there was a way to create a borderless visualization window (tools > visualizations > infinite). Maybe use devilspie to create a config file 'infinate.ds' to handle the display of the borderless window?
[16:23] <scunizi> el_barto_: if you want to find out for sure log into #vbox
[16:23] <el_barto_> tnkz,
[16:24] <c-ron> anyone know which module i b0rked?
[16:24] <c-ron> i think it's libata that sees drives as /dev/sd* instead of /dev/hd* ?
[16:25] <c-ron> amirite?
[16:25] <calwig> hi, does anyone have any recommendations on mini-PCI cards that support WPA2+ encryption and are reliable.. like intel 2200bg or so?
[16:25] <armence> Is there a way to setup the default video driver from the command line?
[16:25] <ubuntunewkid> hello
[16:26] <scunizi> armence: why?
[16:27] <scunizi> armence: ah.. missed your previous post.. did you install the driver from nvidia or use the one in the hardware driver menu?
[16:27] <armence> scunizi: I think the later
[16:27] <scunizi> armence: try typing nvidia-xconfig
[16:27] <scunizi> armence: or sudo nvidia-xconfig
[16:27] <armence> scunizi: I did, I get a whole bunch of errors...
[16:28] <meltdown> Hey, I'm having an issue with libapache2-mod-auth-mysql. I'm pretty sure I have it all configured correctly, but for some reason when I try to access my protected directory (served by mod_dav_svn) mod_auth_mysql segfaults. Any ideas on why this could be happening?
[16:28] <scunizi> armence: which driver? did you go from the 173 to the 177?
[16:28] <armence> scunizi: You should know I am running from the LiveCD at the moment
[16:28] <armence> scunizi: I believe so
[16:29] <UbuntuMe> scunizi: i am at the last step... Ready to install... Should i click Advanced and change the boot loader.. Or just leave it as the default..
[16:29] <scunizi> ok.. you really need to be booted into the system to get help fixing it.. I'll introduce you to a couple concepts that will help..
[16:29] <HammerHead66> ﻿stuckey:here is were you can download all game from to your hard drive I don't know if they have it but look around
[16:29] <HammerHead66> http://www.direct2drive.com/buy-action-pc-games-download
[16:29] <scunizi> UbuntuMe: if it means default grub leave it.. I'd choose whatever the default is.
[16:30] <scunizi> armence: click applications/accessories/terminal
[16:30] <armence> ok, I have an Xterm
[16:30] <c-ron_> when trying to boot up a newly compile kernel, i'm getting an error message: gave up waiting for root device
[16:30] <UbuntuMe> scunizi: k, roger that
[16:30] <c-ron_> it's looking for /dev/sda5  and can't find it
[16:31] <scunizi> armence: you may want to take notes so you can do this in your booted system.. type sudo apt-get install irssi
[16:31] <c-ron_> anyone know why?
[16:32] <sebsebseb>  
[16:32] <dratner> can I ask a samba question here or is there a different channel for that?
[16:32] <sebsebseb> !samba |  dratner
[16:32] <sebsebseb> !ask |  dratner
[16:32] <armence> scunizi: done
[16:32] <japanfred> dratner, shoot :) someone may know
[16:32] <scunizi> armence: ok.. now type irssi and you'll load a cli based irc client
[16:33] <scunizi> armence: once loaded in the text entry line type .. /connect irc.freenode.net ... when it's done doing it's thing type .. /join #ubuntu ..
[16:33] <Doble> I need to limit the traffic which rsnapshot uses when doing backups on my ubuntu server to 100kb/sec - whats the best way of going about this ?
[16:34] <scunizi> armence: got it?
[16:34] <dratner> I am trying to share a windows NTFS drive. But I keep getting errors about I don't have permission. I think its because the drive is being mounted as 'root'. I am sure there is a way around this in Samba or maybe a way not to mount the drive as 'root' but as a user
[16:35] <armence> done
[16:35] <rhousand> I upgraded my workstation from 8.04 to 8.10 yesterday and know my pipe key does not work. any ideas where i should start?
[16:35] <c-ron_> my new kernel's looking for the root device at /dev/sda5  and can't find it
[16:35] <armence2> I am here
[16:35] <c-ron_> halp
[16:35] <japanfred> dratner, are you mounting the NTFS drive in fstab?
[16:35] <dratner> japanfred: no nautilus
[16:36] <japanfred> dratner, try running nautilus as root
[16:36] <scunizi> armence2: remember to use nicks when responding. type the first few characters and hit TAB for autocompletion..
[16:36] <japanfred> dratner, alt+f2, then type in gksudo nautilus then try again...
[16:36] <dratner> japan: will try
[16:36] <japanfred> dratner, i have all my shares setup manually in my smb.conf, sorry...
[16:36] <armence2> scunizi: thanks for the tab tip... Will I have internet when I'm in CLI though? Should I perhaps not use the wireless?
[16:37] <scunizi> armence2 ok.. looking pretty nice so far?  Yes you should have internet.. just because the gui isn't working doesn't mean the rest of the system isn't.. linux is cool that way..:)
[16:37] <armence2> scunizi: Good...
[16:38] <armence2> scunizi: OK, so I guess I'll log on to the system in CLI and get back to you, see you shortly...
[16:38] <racle> Hello, i was wondering is this right place to ask openssh-server thing? so i need that work over nat :P my apache is running fine, but cant get that work :/
[16:39] <scunizi> armence2: ok.. when you boot into your system you'll either have a blank screen or one with a terminal prompt. If the screen is blank (most likely) you type .. ctrl+alt+F2 to get to a full screen terminal.. log in and do the irssi thing.. then when you're getting advice and need to issue commands you simply ctrl+alt+F3 to get to a different full screen terminal..
[16:40] <ne2k__> scunizi: armence2: drop the ctrl in that. Ctrl is only needed if you are already in X. otherwise it's just Alt+F1, Alt+F2, etc.
[16:40] <dratner> japan: I did a gksudo nautilus but it looks different then my usual nautilus in that now I don't' see any icons representing my drive.
[16:40] <ogelami> if my webserver's php creates a file it doesn't get chmod 777'ed how do i make all files in /etc/www/ to become chmod 777 and every file whom gets created in that folder will have chmod 777?
[16:41] <pradeep> how to update ubuntu 8.4 to 9
[16:41] <scunizi> ne2k__: Alt+F<number> will bring up a box in the gui for entering commands.. armence2 doesn't have a gui at this point.. it's stuck and needs a full TTY screen..
[16:41] <sebsebseb> !upgrade |  pradeep
[16:41] <pradeep> thank you sir
[16:42] <Xcell> good morning sebsebseb
[16:42] <Mean_Admin> I've a script within which there is a command that needs to be run by root (port forward 139). I've set the file 6755  and myself as group and yet I still can't execute it...what is up ?
[16:42] <vigo> racle: Sort of, depends on the people that are logged in and that are familiar with that app or package, I know nothing about that stuff,but look at the forums and check back when someone responds to the Q?.
[16:42] <ogelami> when php writes a file i get "permission denied" in response, how do i fix this?
[16:42] <scunizi> ogelami: you probably don't want all files at 777 otherwise you reduce your security a lot..
[16:43] <armence> scunizi: I am now in CLI on my system
[16:43] <scunizi> armence: cool!!
[16:43] <armence> scunizi: I must agree that this makes linux AMAZING

[16:44] <japanfred> dratner, it will look different, root has different user preferences to you :)
[16:44] <dratner> japan: since its not yet mounted I don't have a folder
[16:44] <scunizi> armence: it is..
[16:44] <ogelami> scunizi: how would you solve this problem then?
[16:44] <japanfred> dratner, ah, you can't share nothing... you'll need to create the folder/mount it
[16:44] <armence> scunizi: OK, down to buisness, what should I do? (Don't take me wrong, I love this and I am learning VIM but GUIs can be useful)
[16:44] <scunizi> ogelami: sorry I'll leave that for someone that knows the answer.. check in #ubuntu-server or ##linux if you don't get an answer here..

[16:45] <dratner> japan: this might be easier from the command line...something like mount --shared /dev/hdb1 /media/Windows ntfs-3g  or something like that...I can't  remember exactly
[16:46] <japanfred> dratner, do you want me to take you through setting up your fstab to do it at boot?
[16:46] <scunizi> armence: VIM? arg.. never had the inclination.. try sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf .. caps and lower case make a difference.. ctrl+alt+F3 to get to the next tty and ctrl+alt+F2 to get back here..
[16:47] <dratner> japanfred: I don't want to make the drive available to everyone. just want to mount it temporarily and then samba share  so I can copy some stuff over
[16:47] <c-ron_> when trying to boot up a newly compiled kernel, i'm getting an error message: gave up waiting for root device which is looking for /dev/sda5 .. my other kernels use root=/dev/sda5 in menu.lst and boot fine. which module is responsible for seeing ide drives as scsi /dev/sd* drives?
[16:47] <japanfred> dratner, ah ok, so when your gksudo'd into nautilus, you can't see that mountable drive?
[16:48] <o0splitpaw0o> hrmmm
[16:48] <dratner> japan: yep but I see it and some another windows partition in my regular nautilus
[16:49] <armence> scunizi: Sorry, I lost power briefly here...
[16:49] <wamty>  I guess I need to "export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so"  What libs are these?
[16:49] <japanfred> dratner, ok, but the one you are after, you can see?
[16:49] <c-ron_> if i can't figure this out i'm leaving ubuntu for gentoo :P
[16:49] <wamty> ikonia:  I guess I need to "export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so"  What libs are these?
[16:49] <scunizi> armence: ouch
[16:49] <scunizi> armence: did you get my last post?
[16:49] <dratner> japan: not under the gksudo naut
[16:49] <armence> scunizi: I don't think so...
[16:49] <scunizi> armence: VIM? arg.. never had the inclination.. try sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf .. caps and lower case make a difference.. ctrl+alt+F3 to get to the next tty and ctrl+alt+F2 to get back here..
[16:49] <wamty> Anyone?
[16:49] <japanfred> dratner, weird! ok let's mount it at command line then
[16:49] <dratner> japan: k
[16:50] <wamty> ikonia:  I guess I need to "export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so"  What libs are these?
[16:50] <japanfred> dratner, make a folder, i.e. mkdir /media/mydrive
[16:50] <wamty> I guess I need to "export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so"  What libs are these?
[16:50] <dratner> done
[16:50] <armence> scunizi: ok
[16:50] <Nom-> Hey guys.  Should be an easy question I hope.  I've got a network card in my machine which seems to be defaulting back to 100Mbps/Full/NoNegotiate, despite my multiple attempts to force it to 1000Mbps/Full/AutoNeg.  Is there anywhere common I should be looking at?  I've tried init scripts, post-up in /etc/network/interfaces and neither have made it stick, but it works fine from the command line (so it's not a problem with the port / card)
[16:50] <japanfred> dratner, now, do you know what /dev/hdXX the partition is?
[16:50] <dratner> yep
[16:50] <dratner> /dev/hdb1
[16:51] <wamty> anyone around?
[16:51] <japanfred> dratner, ok great, let's do...
[16:51] <japanfred> dratner, sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /media/mydrive
[16:51] <scunizi> armence: look in that file for a line that begins with "Driver".  if it's there and the referenece is nvidia change it to nv.
[16:52] <o0splitpaw0o> So I got this powerbook g4 (PPC) attempted the PPC install CD. I find it doesn't detect the CDROM after loading into memory. Suggestions?
[16:52] <wamty> I guess I need to "export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so"  What libs are these?
[16:52] <wamty> no?
[16:52] <armence> scunizi: Ctrl+O to save?
[16:52] <mib_yw5bpt> hi when i wake my computer after sleep, my monior does not turn back on.
[16:53] <c-ron_> error message: gave up waiting for root device which is looking for /dev/sda5 .. my other kernels use root=/dev/sda5 in menu.lst and boot fine. which module is responsible for seeing ide drives as scsi /dev/sd* drives?
[16:53] <Nom-> never mind, i found it... some of our in-house scripts are so stupid :(
[16:53] <scunizi> armence: yes and ctrl+x to exit
[16:53] <scunizi> armence: don't reboot
[16:53] <dratner> japan: sorry for the delay I wrote hdb1 should have been sdb1 ..haha anyway
[16:53] <vigo> wamty: USB Camera ?
[16:53] <armence> scunizi: ok, not rebooting as we speak
[16:53] <japanfred> dratner, haha no worries :) is it now mounted? check by doing a ls /media/mydrive
[16:54] <scunizi> armence: :).. to see if the gui will start.. try this.. if it loads then you can ctrl+alt+F2 to get back here.. type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[16:54] <dratner> japan: its working and showing up on my gksudo nautilus
[16:54] <japanfred> superb
[16:54] <japanfred> dratner, so, now under you gksudo nautilus, try and share it, you know how to do that?
[16:54] <dratner> japan: yep
[16:54] <japanfred> Give it a go :)#
[16:55] <dratner> looks like it worked
[16:55] <japanfred> dratner, now try and browse it
[16:55] <armence> scunizi: I actually am in F1 here... Is that going to be a problem? I mean, unless I am being silly and try to return here using F2?
[16:55] <dratner> japan: let me go into the other room and see
[16:55] <scunizi> armence: don't think so.. but not sure.. issue the command and see what happens
[16:56] <mib_yw5bpt> if i install GsTreamer in the USA, is that iilegal?
[16:56] <armence> scunizi: Starting GNOME manager [fail]
[16:56] <sebsebseb> mib_yw5bpt: probably
[16:56] <scunizi> armence: when you made the driver change did you type NV or nv?
[16:56] <babanaboy> Hallo zusammen :)
[16:57] <armence> scunizi: nv
[16:57] <dratner> japan: poop...still not seeing it on my other computer.
[16:57] <japanfred> Hmmm
[16:57] <sebsebseb> mib_yw5bpt: it's the encrypted dvd program that may not be fully legal, but gstreamer should be fine
[16:57] <babanaboy> do you speak german or english here ?
[16:57] <japanfred> dratner, ok well what can you see from the other computer?
[16:57] <mib_yw5bpt> ok thanks sebsebseb
[16:57] <scunizi> armence: thinking....
[16:57] <armence> scunizi: no problem
[16:58] <armence> scunizi: I'll brb, I need to hit the thinking chair briefly
[16:58] <dratner> japan: nevermind...I see it...should it be under the windows share?
[16:58] <sebsebseb> mib_yw5bpt: ok no problem
[16:58] <japanfred> if thats what it's called, yep
[16:58] <scunizi> armence: k
[16:58] <AJC_Z0> How to I add an app to the list in the pop-up window when removable media (CD, DVD, etc.) is inserted?
[16:58] <dratner> japan: hmm, its a NTFS based drive but its not a full OS ...just a storage drive
[16:59] <c-ron_> error message: gave up waiting for root device which is looking for /dev/sda5 .. my other kernels use root=/dev/sda5 in menu.lst and boot fine. which module is responsible for seeing ide drives as scsi /dev/sd* drives?
[16:59] <japanfred> japanfred, i think there is a severe generalisation that NTFS = windows
[16:59]  * scunizi sees japanfred talking to himself and wonders if he's fishing for responses
[17:00] <dratner> japan: well whatever..as long as I can see and browse...thats all I need for now. Thanks for the help
[17:00] <japanfred> lmao.... thats scunizi
[17:00] <japanfred> omg, my head... thanks scunizi
[17:00] <japanfred> dratner, no worries :)
[17:00] <linduxed> lets say ive got a server that has an empty drive that isnt mounted, and a filled up drive that is mounted and contains / with all of its subdirectories (some split onto partitions). would there be any problems if i wanted to do a "dd if=/dev/sd<old drive> of=/dev/sd<empty drive>" if the old drive is being used?
[17:00] <J_P> hi all
[17:00] <dratner> japan: I guess if I need it regularly I will mount it in fstab
[17:00] <futeki> Anyone here familiar with data recovery?
[17:00] <armence> scunizi: back
[17:01] <J_P> peple, I install ubuntu 8.10 server, and after I need Grafical interface only to use firefox. So I install apt-get install xorg icewm. But after I did startx command, mouse not works. I try ps2 and usb mouse. what file I can change to try solve that ?
[17:01] <graingert> hey guys, what does: dpkg-divert: mismatch on divert-to
[17:01] <graingert>   when removing `diversion of /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1.2 to /usr/lib32/nvidia/libGL.so.1.2.xserver-xorg-core by nvidia-glx-180'
[17:01] <graingert>   found `diversion of /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1.2 to /usr/lib32/nvidia/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa by nvidia-glx-180'
[17:01] <graingert> mean
[17:01] <FloodBot2> graingert: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:01] <zorael> Can anyone tell me how to apply the patch at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20997#c1 ? I have the source and everything ready, but since it's not a .patch file I don't know how to apply it properly
[17:01] <japanfred> dratner, yep, either that or store what i've told you so far into a script that you can run when you need it
[17:01] <raven> is it possible to split files with AUDACITY at NEAR SILENCE automatically (for example in batch-process?) tnx...
[17:01] <achenheim> msn
[17:01] <dratner> japan: script...yeah. Isn't linux cool
[17:02] <japanfred> dratner, that's one thing it certainly is :) can really bite you in the ass though
[17:02] <dratner> yes, thanks again.
[17:02] <scunizi> raven: you might search google for audacity how to's .. sounds like you're recording LP's and need to split the files.. there is a way for audacity to do that.
[17:02] <c-ron_> hi Syntacs
[17:02] <joaopinto> linduxed, yes you would get an inconsistent  filesystem
[17:02] <Syntacs> hey c-ron
[17:02] <joaopinto> linduxed, if you need to clone a live system, you can use rsync
[17:02] <mib_yw5bpt> sebsebseb: when i wake my computer after sleep, my monior does not turn back on.
[17:03] <achenheim> fuck
[17:03] <achenheim> fuck
[17:03] <FloodBot2> achenheim: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:03] <raven> scunizi i know and you're nearly right - i am recording tapes ;)
[17:04] <scunizi> raven: 'bout time! :)
[17:04] <linduxed> joaopinto: two questions then. 1) would i get a byte by byte copy like dd? 2) how do i use rsync for that?
[17:04] <scunizi> raven: do you need a DBX128 processor to increase the dynamic range?  I've got one from the late 70's early 80's :)
[17:04] <raven> scunizi but the problem i have is that i cannot adjust the "silence" so when there is a little noise (i cannot completely remove with the plugin) nothing get's split
[17:05] <jtgiri> hi i am trying to use screen command, my friend logged in as root and i logged as root also, we both type screen and hit enter, but we can't see each other typing any suggestions ?
[17:05] <armence> scunizi: Does NVIDIA effectively manage its own drivers and did not see fit to provide a manager from the cli?
[17:05] <joaopinto> linduxed, 1) no you don't get a byte by byte copy, explaining myself better, you can't do a reliably byte by byte copy from a filesystem being changed
[17:05] <scunizi> raven: you can manually insert a silence portion
[17:05] <joaopinto> 2) You can only use rsync for FS structure/data replication
[17:06] <futeki> Anyone here have good experience with virtualbox and linux data recovery?
[17:06] <raven> of course - in 20 houres music i'd prefer the tool to do it for itself ;)
[17:06] <scunizi> armence: well... it's not really nvidia.. it's how the video system now works.. we still have a couple options..
[17:06] <linduxed> joaopinto: so i should do it in some live environment?
[17:06] <mib_yw5bpt> when i wake my computer after sleep, my monior does not turn back on. anyone have any ideas?
[17:06] <scunizi> armence: did you tell me you tried sudo nvidia-xconfig?
[17:06] <joaopinto> linduxed, what do you expect to gain from a byte by byte copy over an file based copy ?
[17:07] <armence> scunizi: Yeap, I just got a ton or warnings
[17:07] <scunizi> armence: ok.. try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[17:07] <armence> scunizi: Do you want me to try again? And should I restore xorg.conf first?
[17:07] <raven> scunizi of course - in 20 houres music i'd prefer the tool to do it for itself ;)
[17:07] <daejones1> when transferring music to an ipod touch using ssh is there anyway to make it go faster?
[17:07] <clearscreen>  armence: what are they? I haven't evolved my brains to telepathically read minds over the internet
[17:08] <clearscreen> yet.
[17:08] <Whitor> Can anyone reccomend a good SNMP monitoring tool for ubuntu ?
[17:08] <scunizi> raven: oh yea.. I know the pain.. I have 500 LP's that I've been trying to find the time to convert for several years.
[17:09] <demontager> Who know any Proxy finder utility for Linux_Ubuntu?
[17:09] <raven> scunizi i simply need the ability to adjust a treshhold or something else but there is no dialogue for the splitting-tool isn't it?
[17:09] <linduxed> joaopinto: tbh, i only feel safer having it go through the entire drive byte by byte including mbr and stuff like that
[17:10] <linduxed> joaopinto: im basically swapping a small drive for a larger one
[17:10] <c-ron_> error message: gave up waiting for root device which is looking for /dev/sda5 .. my other kernels use root=/dev/sda5 in menu.lst and boot fine. which module is responsible for seeing ide drives as scsi /dev/sd* drives?
[17:10] <scunizi> raven: it's been a while.. the audacity site has lots of info and there might even be a channel for it.
[17:11] <armence> scunizi: done
[17:11] <lartza_> I just installed ubuntu server, the computer has 2 PCI NIC and only one of them, the one to internet is working(showing on ifconfig)
[17:11] <raven> scunizi yes i tried both but i did not found a really solution - because of that i'm here ;)
[17:11] <scunizi> armence: when you booted into your system did you get in using the "recover" kernel?
[17:11] <joaopinto> linduxed, with rsync you can do it with a live system, but you will need to reinstall the MBR
[17:11] <raven> but no matter thanks for your response
[17:11] <armence> scunizi: nope
[17:12] <joaopinto> with dd, you will need to boot from a livecd
[17:12] <scunizi> armence: ok.. try this again.. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[17:12] <lartza_> The lights on both pci cards are on
[17:12] <J_P> where are thre the xorg configuration file ?
[17:12] <armence> scunizi: same problem as before
[17:12] <scunizi> J_P: /etc/init.d/xorg.conf
[17:13] <armence> scunizi: Should I maybe try to reboot?
[17:13] <guyiom> /etc/X11
[17:13] <dainis> how to uninstall app's using terminal ?
[17:13] <scunizi> J_P: oops.. not there. /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[17:13] <lartza_> So how do I fix my pci nic?
[17:13] <joaopinto> dainis, sudo apt-get remove package
[17:13] <scunizi> armence: yes
[17:13] <linduxed> joaopinto: i think ill go with booting up a live environment
[17:13] <armence> scunizi: see you soon
[17:13] <sebsebseb> dainis: sudo apt-get purge programname that will also get rid of the config files and so the best way
[17:13] <lartza_> And how do I change channels in irssi?
[17:14] <J_P> scunizi: administrator@olhovivo:/etc/X11$ ls -la xorg.conf

[17:14] <lartza_> Thanks
[17:14] <graingert> mib_yw5bpt-> what graphic card do you have?
[17:14] <lartza_> So now how do I get my pci network card to life?
[17:14] <graingert> lartza_-> what flavour is it?
[17:14] <lartza_> wait a sec
[17:15] <minimike150> mib_yw5bpt: i also have problems with sleep mode on my computer.. it becomes totally unresponsive when trying to wake back up

[17:15] <wamty> Hi could someone tell me a good package that will run on ubuntu to recover data following a harddrive format. I have wine running but am unable to run any windows applications as the wine system uses virtualdrives and so does not have access to the physically drives that are mounted.
[17:15] <Pici> J_P: See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution if you need to troubleshoot a problem
[17:15] <J_P> Pici: so, how I configure mouse with xorg for example?
[17:15] <J_P> ok
[17:15] <lartza_> fixed I guess...
[17:15] <graingert> mib_yw5bpt-> this is likely to be the new nvidia-180 driver
[17:15] <wamty> Any ideas?
[17:15] <lartza_> Had to run sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 for it to show
[17:15] <Pici> J_P: If you put things into xorg.conf it will respect them, but they don't need to be there for it to work.
[17:15] <mib_yw5bpt> minimike150: does hybernate work?
[17:16] <J_P> Pici: ok

[17:23] <scunizi> armence2: now you're in the bottom half and to get back to the top ctrl+a TAB
[17:24] <armence2> scunizi: Cool...
[17:24] <armence2> scunizi: What's the command to close a window?
[17:25] <scunizi> armence2: to close make sure you're in the window and ctrl+a shift+x but don't do it yet..
[17:26] <chiky> hi
[17:26] <scunizi> armence2: do a ctrl+a d and everything will dissappear.. now go back to the gui and open a terminal and type screen -ls to identify the screen session number.. once you see the 4-5 digit number type .. screen -r <number> and everything will return
[17:26] <sebsebseb> chiky: hi
[17:26] <lartza_> I am trying to forward internet connection
[17:26] <lartza_> I am using the community doc
[17:27] <lartza_> but after I do the commands and use iptables -VL I jusst get vesion info
[17:27] <Pici> !enter | lartza_
[17:27] <armence> scunizi: It froze
[17:27] <scunizi> armence: what froze?
[17:28] <petafile> It seems that after upgrading to the latest nVidia drivers, part of my opengl install has broken, standard ./configure scripts say that opengl is not installed and linking with -lGL option no longer works.  Anyone know how to fix this?
[17:28] <armence> scunizi: I am in the second window and it froze, I think I mistyped something
[17:28] <armence> scunizi: I am now in tty1
[17:28] <scunizi> armence: k.. did it all disappear?
[17:29] <armence> scunizi: Nope, it looks normal, but when I use the keyboard, nothing happens
[17:29] <scunizi> armence: ah  you did the ctrl+a d and it looks like it froze but you'll see a terminal prompt at the bottom of the screen
[17:30] <scunizi> armence: if the terminal prompt is there you're fine..
[17:31] <armence> scunizi: No... (I might have done Ctrl+a d, my finger slipped and I'm not sure what key I hit) Well, the second window has a terminal and a blinking cursor but it's not doing anything
[17:31] <armence2> cc
[17:31] <scunizi> armence: try ctrl+c or q to exit that mode
[17:32] <scunizi> armence2  you're back!
[17:32] <armence2> scunizi: OK, I am now in full screen with the irssi window...
[17:32] <philn> hi
[17:32] <scunizi> ok..
[17:32] <nikitis> Are there any good Linux GPS programs that have detailed street maps that you can download the whole USA and not just where you are going?
[17:32] <lartza_> How do I flush all modifications for iptables?
[17:32] <armence2> scunizi: It's all very confusing, but I am full of wonder
[17:32] <scunizi> armence2: do a ctrl+a d and everything will dissappear.. now go back to the gui and open a terminal and type screen -ls to identify the screen session number.. once you see the 4-5 digit number type .. screen -r <number> and everything will return  -- to get back to the gui ctrl+alt+F7
[17:33] <philn> i can't boot latest jaunty kernel (could not boot latest interpid kernel either), i get a bunch of ATA errors
[17:33] <nikitis> philn, ram upgrade?
[17:33] <xy|ox> lartza_, man iptables
[17:33] <philn> i only manage to boot on 2.6.27-12-generic
[17:33] <philn> nikitis: i recently switched the harddrive to a new machine
[17:34] <nikitis> philn, yeah, kernels don
[17:34] <beeftube> hi all, I am thinking of offering Ubuntu desktop installs, anyone know how I can get training and certification?
[17:34] <nikitis> philn, dont like new hardware
[17:34] <mattgyver83> On my second HDD when trying to create a link it receive the error: 'Error making symbolic link: Operation not permitted' how can i fix this?
[17:34] <hanasaki> where do I find the network manager applet to put in gnome?
[17:34] <philn> nikitis: is there something i need to regenerate?
[17:34] <CAP9324> hi here
[17:34] <lartza_> Doesn't help much and I am sick of reading man right now
[17:35] <lartza_> It says -t table but i haven't specified one
[17:35] <nikitis> philn, dont know exactly.  but your probably on the right track, ask someone in here that question
[17:35] <armence2> scunizi: I am again filled with wonderment...
[17:35] <thecommutist> nikitis: openstreetmaps
[17:35] <nikitis> Are there any good Linux GPS programs that have detailed street maps that you can download the whole USA and not just where you are going?
[17:35] <scunizi> armence2: you back in the gui?
[17:35] <armence2> scunizi: There is no sarcasm here, this is amazing... Yes
[17:36] <nikitis> thecommutist, i used roadnav to download openstreetmaps but it says non-us only
[17:36] <philn> anyone knows what to do in kernel config when hardware changes?
[17:36] <lartza_> And why iptables -XF FORWARD gives bad argument FORWARD?
[17:36] <remsSs> hi everybody
[17:37] <armence2> scunizi: OK, so those are real windows that can be moved around between terminals and hidden and minimized and stuff, this is really good stuff
[17:37] <armence2> scunizi: thanks
[17:37] <scunizi> armence2: screen is an amazing tool. read up on it.. I was really confused reading about it until I tried it and experienced the power.. there's many more features.. great for diagnosing your system when the gui doesn't work.. your next mission is to install elinks and try surfing the web at the cli..
[17:38] <matott> hi, I have a problem
[17:38] <armence2> scunizi: elinks... I'll give it a shot. I really like the CLI and surfing the web is the primary reason why I don't use it more...
[17:38] <philn> matott: me too!
[17:38] <matott> my alt+arrow keys don't work
[17:38] <scunizi> armence2: have fun!  the more you learn the more you want to learn on this OS.. it's aggravation and smiles all at the same time.
[17:38] <julian_> hi im searching for posibilities were the wlan settings could be done on ubuntu. im having a roboter which runs with ubuntu and connects to a wlan. but i just cant find the file or the startup program which connects to an WLAN ap! can somebody help me?
[17:38] <matott> I get ;3C
[17:38] <scunizi> armence2: oh.. mutt is pretty neat for imap access of your gmail account or others at the cli
[17:38] <lartza_> How do I clear iptables to start fresh?
[17:39] <scunizi> armence2: mutt does pop as well.
[17:39] <armence2> scunizi: Thanks, I'll give both of those programs a shot
[17:39] <julian_> what else could be used for connection an AP wpa_supplicant file is not used so im hanging
[17:39] <n8tuser> lartza_-> to clear the rules  iptables -F
[17:39] <scunizi> armence2: see ya.  coffee time
[17:39] <matott> My problem seems similar: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/96676
[17:40] <armence2> scunizi: cya
[17:40] <s0101> my login screen goes black after updating nividia driver how do i turn on low graph mode with xorg?
[17:40] <s0101> I am at another computer now
[17:41] <lartza_> n8tuser: Thanks, I have been given -XF which doesn't work
[17:41] <s0101> i would really apriciate a answer i done this before but i forgot what comand to use in terminal to reset xorg
[17:42] <n8tuser> lartza_-> however i think that does not clear the policy, so you may have to set it to your liking
[17:42] <thecommutist> s0101: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[17:42] <s0101> cheers matte
[17:42] <thecommutist> cheers!
[17:43] <lartza_> well that doesn't matter since it gets overwritten, entries get multiplied so i needed those cleared
[17:43] <dainis> in which language most of ubuntu app's are written ( java, c#, c++ .. ) ?
[17:44] <thecommutist> dainis: python
[17:44] <p0lar69> anyone with RAID install experiance?
[17:44] <p0lar69> I have a dell with ICH8 raid drives and want to install ubuntu
[17:44] <p0lar69> any ideas?
[17:45] <dainis> thecommutist > thnx
[17:45] <thecommutist> dainis: welcome!
[17:45] <sebsebseb> dainis: Ubuntu has a lot of Python stuff in it
[17:45] <sebsebseb> dainis: and in the repo  it seems as well yes
[17:45] <thewrath> i am interested in building my own computer. i would like to run ubuntu on it
[17:45] <p0lar69> the install wont see the raid even if I use the DMraid options
[17:45] <sebsebseb> dainis: Ubuntu uses quite a lot of Python
[17:46] <thewrath> where can i find specs that are supported by ubuntu?
[17:46] <thecommutist> thewrath: check the hardware compatibility list at www.ubuntu.com
[17:46] <sebsebseb> thewrath: more like,  where can you find specs that are suppourted by Linux,  well you can try here #linux  and also I expect a lot of people in #hardware use Linux
[17:46] <cjones> can some one help find out why things keep disapearing from my desktop?
[17:46] <p0lar69> any ideas for me??
[17:46] <dainis> sebsebseb > ok ,thank you ! Last time when I found some Python tuts, it looked like .. I don't know .. kind a old ! Will take a look at it again :)
[17:47] <Testudo> thewrath:  With a little bit of work of installing drivers, almost anything oyu find will be compatible, at least in my experience. Usually this hasnn't been a problem with me. If www.ubuntu.com doesn't work, I'd suggset googling it to see if anyone else has had trouble with that piece of hardware
[17:47] <sebsebseb> dainis: Python is a rather good first proggramming language
[17:47] <thecommutist> dainis: www.diveintopython.org
[17:47] <sebsebseb> thecommutist: ok that could be useful for me as well, since I gave up on Python before,  since other things etc
[17:48] <sebsebseb> thecommutist: I am in no rush to learn any proggramming
[17:48] <ariqs> thecommutist, most of ubuntu's apps are written in python? seriously?
[17:48] <dainis> sebsebseb > I'm not saying that it's not .. that was just my first impression ! +1 for the link.
[17:48] <rampageoberon> hi, any idea what the security feature is that can cause ifconfig to not work unless sudo is used and top to only show processes running under your user?
[17:49] <thecommutist> sebsebseb: diveintopython is a bit more technical from the beginner's perspective. there's a "how to think like a computer scientist" book based on python. google for that. it's very helpful for beginner and much more easier to understand
[17:50] <otm> i'm having a problem with an installation, when I do ./configure there is an error with "libevent" :S
[17:50] <graingert> rampageoberon-> this is default behaviour
[17:50] <cjones> if i look at my desktop in a terminal i can find files there but the is no icons on my desktop and i am missing the settings button on the top panel any ideas ?
[17:50] <sebsebseb> thecommutist: a free ebook?
[17:50] <thecommutist> ariqs: are you into programming?
[17:50] <player1up> hello i installed gstreamer but video sites like youtube dont work... can anyone help
[17:50] <thecommutist> sebsebseb: yes it's free for download
[17:50] <graingert> rampageoberon-> ifconfig read only is required for normal operation of the computer, normal users cannot write the ifconfig settings
[17:50] <dainis> thecommutist > I myself am a PHP/MySQL programmer and know a bit from C++, VB, so .. I think I'll be able to handle this book :)
[17:50] <graingert> player1up-> you need flash, LOLOLOL!
[17:50] <ariqs> thecommutist, sort of
[17:51] <rampageoberon> graingert: in the older distro's such as hardy this was not the case, could you please explain what has changed.
[17:51] <player1up> graingert: i have flash
[17:51] <otm> i'm having a problem with an installation, when I do ./configure there is an error with "libevent" :S. Can anybody help?
[17:51] <sebsebseb> thecommutist: I got somenoe that would like me to learn  Python, but I got other things that  should be my priority first
[17:51] <graingert> rampageoberon-> nothing, please do not attempt to restrict users from reading ifconfig information
[17:51] <graingert> rampageoberon-> why would you even wan't this?
[17:51] <cjones> if i look at my desktop in a terminal i can find files there but the is no icons on my desktop and i am missing the settings button on the top panel any ideas ?
[17:51] <TheDracle> How can I configure my laptop CPU scaling to always be set to max performance in Ubuntu?
[17:51] <thecommutist> ariqs: do you find it doubtful/unlikely most ubuntu apps being based on python?
[17:51] <sebsebseb> thecommutist: ,but for the future, thanks for the link and that
[17:51] <termhome> bye
[17:51] <rampageoberon> graingert: running ifconfig i get "Warning: cannot open /proc/net/dev ..."
[17:52] <graingert> rampageoberon-> if you are worried about people stealing your IP, then you should be firewalled properly
[17:52] <thecommutist> sebsebseb: you are welcome!
[17:52] <rampageoberon> graingert: i don't want to restrict users from reading ifconfig, i'm not able to do it on my machine without root which is a bit strange
[17:52] <graingert> rampageoberon-> ah, you mean you didn't want it to happen
[17:52] <graingert> rampageoberon-> sorry :-p
[17:52] <ariqs> thecommutist, It would surprise me, but I have no idea. Python is a very easy language to program in, but is slow due to its interpreted nature
[17:52] <rampageoberon> graingert: yes thats what i meant, and no problem
[17:53] <rampageoberon> graingert: i asked about the security feature as then i could check if its enabled on my machine
[17:53] <otm> "checking whether we need extra options to link libevent... configure: error: Found linkable libevent in (system), but it doesn't run, even with -R.  Maybe specify another using --with-libevent-dir?" that's my problem :(
[17:53] <thecommutist> ariqs: ok i'll try to put this up to one of the ubuntu devs. let's see what comes out!
[17:53] <player1up> can anyone help with video problems? i have ubuntu 8.10 and cannot play embedded videos on any sites
[17:53] <graingert> rampageoberon-> I think you may have permissions on that device set wrong, what is it's uri?
[17:54] <graingert> player1up-> install flashplugin-nonfree
[17:54] <dainis> player1up > install flash player ?
[17:54] <player1up> dainis:  i already installed it
[17:54] <remsSs> adobe-flashplugin
[17:54] <thecommutist> player1up: installed ubunut-restricted-extras?
[17:54] <graingert> player1up-> In that case you install is foomed
[17:54] <thecommutist> player1up: *ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[17:55] <player1up> what?
[17:55] <mizipzor> to start my svn server, i login with my regular user and run "svnserve -d --foreground -r /home/svn", is there a way to make that a deamon? and then (is it with rc-update?) add it to autostartup when the computer boots?
[17:55] <player1up> thecommutist:  sorry can you explain what that is?
[17:55] <dainis> player1up > install restricted extras from Add/Remove programms - you'll get all codecs + players :)
[17:55] <zilleplus> do i need ot install something to do remote controle on my ubuntu desktop to controle my ubuntu server with ubuntu terminal client
[17:55] <rampageoberon> graingert: permisions on /proc/net/dev are 444 and /sbin/ifconfig is 755, thats what you wanted?
[17:55] <player1up> dainis:  ok thanks ill try that
[17:55] <nikitis> are there any better gps programs than roadnav?  roadnav keeps crashing when i go to import openstreetmaps.  getting core dumps
[17:56] <graingert> rampageoberon-> what is the output of ifconfig?
[17:56] <cjones> if i look at my desktop in a terminal i can find files there but the is no icons on my desktop and i am missing the settings button on the top panel any ideas ?
[17:56] <otm> what's the command to remove all the contents of a directory?
[17:56] <graingert> rampageoberon-> they should be -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 2009-04-08 17:56 /proc/net/dev
[17:56] <ne2k__> U-b-u-n-t-u: YOU BEE YOU EN TEE YOU!
[17:56] <dainis> player1up > np - let me know if it solves your problem.
[17:56] <rampageoberon> graingert: "Warning: cannot open /proc/net/dev (No such file or directory). Limited output."
[17:56] <graingert> rampageoberon-> and -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 72560 2008-07-17 10:12 /sbin/ifconfig
[17:57] <zilleplus> do i need ot install something to do remote controle on my ubuntu desktop to controle my ubuntu server with ubuntu terminal client?????????????????????????????,

[18:07] <Lartza_> does dpkg search from descriptions+
[18:07] <Lartza_> ?
[18:07] <player1up> dainis: it sais it has to remove ubuntu-desktop to remove gstreamer
[18:07] <graingert> Lartza_-> apt-cache search does
[18:08] <graingert> player1up-> don't remove gstreamer, you spanner
[18:08] <Lartza_> Thank you
[18:08] <HammerHead66> where do I look up if i want to see why my desktop crashed?
[18:08] <Lartza_> Oh and there is aptitude
[18:08] <dainis> player1up > don't worry, uninstall it !
[18:08] <graingert> player1up-> no don't uninstall it!
[18:08] <player1up> graingert: i came here for help...not to be insulted by you..if you cant help people without calling them retards or spanners...try another channel,,like #grade1?
[18:08] <player1up> dainis: : are you sure?
[18:09] <player1up> :)
[18:09] <cjones> if i look at my desktop in a terminal using the ls command  i can find files there but the is no icons on my desktop and i am missing the settings button on the top panel any ideas ?
[18:09] <graingert> player1up-> well don't uninstall gstreamer
[18:09] <dainis> graingert > by uninstalling gedit, ubuntu desktop goes down automatically .. do I see any problems/changes ? NO ! :)
[18:09] <x1101> cjones: have you turned the show desktop icons off ?
[18:09] <lanoxx-> /usr/share/wordpress/wp-config.php referes to some README.Debian file but i can not find it, can anyone tell me where it is
[18:09] <dainis> graingert > he'll install it back lol
[18:10] <graingert> dainis, yes but gstreamer is neccesary :-(
[18:10] <cjones> x1101 notthat i know of where do i check that
[18:10] <player1up> dainis: : this all started after i visited a website with an embedded video..it said i needed additional plug ins and i added them...then nothing worked...
[18:10] <graingert> dainis-> telling someone to uninstall gstreamer is not clever
[18:10] <HammerHead66> ﻿where do I look up if i want to see why my desktop crashed?
[18:10] <dainis> graingert > it comes with restricted extras - that's why he needs to remove it ..
[18:10] <albacker> how to see which ubuntu version i have (i always forget it -_- )
[18:10] <edwin2> hello. I have ubuntu server in my PC and I have two ISP. Besides I have a web server running under this Linux. When i connect the PC to one of them, people can connect to my PC using the IP address, but when I diconeect and connect to internet with the other ISP, nobody can see what i have in my web server......what could it be???????????
[18:10] <Lartza_> How do I see the clock from terminal?
[18:10] <Lartza_> :)
[18:11] <graingert> dainis-> and, restricted extras will still install with gstreamer on the system
[18:11] <player1up> shall i toss a coin? :)
[18:11] <Lartza_> To ensure it's right time because it's important for a server
[18:11] <Picassotamus> Lartza_: I believe you can use the 'time' command
[18:11] <player1up> i cant install restricted extras..it wont let me! sais it conflicts with other sw..which i presume is gstreamer?
[18:11] <dainis> graingert > that's the problem - he can't install restricted pack if he have gstreamer installed on his sys ! that should be clear ?
[18:11] <Burntresistor> im installing my nviida driver it says exit x server im not sure what it means
[18:11] <graingert> player1up-> what happens if you go sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[18:11] <codeshah> h3y guys, I am not sure why but in ubuntu my fan starts running quiet frequently ... it doesnt in windows
[18:12] <graingert> dainis-> gstreamer is installed by default
[18:12] <Lartza_> No I can't
[18:12] <dainis> player1up > do as I said - your pc will not blow up anyway
[18:12] <Lartza_> real 0m0.000s
[18:12] <graingert> dainis-> I am pretty sure totem depends on it
[18:12] <rwparris2> I wrote a bash script that requires sudo in 3 places, how can I run it without typing in my password 3 times?
[18:12] <Lartza_> user and sys same
[18:12] <player1up> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[18:12] <graingert> rwparris2-> sudo should cache it automatically
[18:12] <Lartza_> clock wants some xnview
[18:12] <rwparris2> graingert, it doesn't
[18:12] <codeshah> and it just seems in general my ubuntu is very laggged compared to windows... what could be doing this?
[18:12] <graingert> rwparris2-> or you could sudo su
[18:13] <player1up> dainis: ye ill try it..nothing else is working anyway!! :)
[18:13] <julian_> hi can somebody help me with wpa_supplicant ? and tell me if this: http://pastebin.com/m37e536ef should connect to an AP and if i could set there some ip settings cause theres no dhcp

[18:16] <dainis> lol, I just found that my irc client is saving all conversations in .doc files.
[18:16] <player1up> dainis: ok..removed it and installed the extras....still nothing works
[18:16] <Xyc0> How do I change what the default main monitor is in intrepid?  xorg reconfigure doesn't do it anymore
[18:17] <dainis> player1up > restarted your system ?
[18:17] <clearscreen> Xyc0: if you're using an nvidia card, nvidia-settings can do it.. in case of ATI: i dont have a clue
[18:17] <player1up> dainis:  i restarted my browser
[18:17] <cjones> grainger i can see the file in terminal but not on the desk top

[18:17] <player1up> bah! ok :)
[18:18] <slerder> Hey guys for some reason when I open gparted and select any hard drive they all show as if the entire drive was "unallocated". Any idea on how to solve this, i need to make a new partition in the free space i know i have on a certain drive. thanks
[18:18] <rhousand> does anyone know what a server shard is?
[18:19] <zleap1> nope
[18:19] <Burntresistor> i dont see anything close to labeled ubuntu restricted hardware in packet manager
[18:19] <zleap1> have you spelt it correctly
[18:20] <zleap1> if shard is anything like a shard of glass it would mean a tiny part of your server that is now in many pieces, :)
[18:21] <sh_> dainis: still nothing

[18:39] <tktn> how would I go about upgrading 8.04 to 9.04? will I need to upgrade to 8.10?
[18:40] <julian_> i tried through interfaces.conf but that didnt help
[18:40] <lenin> tktn you would use  sudo apt-get update -d
[18:40] <ActiveFrost> tktn: I suggest you to not to upgrade to 9.04 ( at least, not now ).
[18:40] <lenin> when 9.04 would release
[18:40] <sebsebseb> tktn: don't go 9.04 yet it's still in Beta, and you need to clean install anyway for full Ext4 suppourt
[18:41] <sebsebseb> tktn: and 8.04 has certain advantages over both 8.10 and 9.04
[18:41] <lenin> and even after release its better to take at least one week time to let it stable
[18:41] <buzul> neeed help to use double monitor on ubuntu ??
[18:41] <tktn> well, I am already running 9.04 on my Laptop without issues

[18:41] <tktn> aside from the MythTV one
[18:41] <sebsebseb> lenin: maybe this time, to be sure that Ext4 is  good enough for proper usage, before clean installing and doing Ext4 partitions
[18:41] <blackdemon> and have you restarted your network interfaces afer the changes :p
[18:42] <lenin> sebsebseb then I'd need a good backup to do! I'd like to convert ot ext4
[18:42] <julian_> blackdemon:  i need to restart the whole computer after changes cause its a read only file system. so i have to shutdown make changes on my pc switch hard drives and start so the answer is yes :)
[18:42] <sebsebseb> lenin: same here, once it's  well,   once I am sure all the issues that there were with it,  have been fixed properly
[18:43] <tgunr> resno man scp
[18:43] <carsten> hallo
[18:43] <sebsebseb> lenin: well i'll wait a week or two or so and then put 9.04 on with Ext4 anyway,   plus this  upgraded  8.10 to alpha6, to beta  instal has gone bad here and there anyway.  so yes clean install when time is right
[18:43] <sebsebseb> carsten: hello
[18:43] <mattgyver83> If i format a storage device for my ubuntu machine as Ext2, will windows machines on the network not have access to it?
[18:44] <sebsebseb> mattgyver83: there's a driver for Windows,and then you can read and write to Ext3 and Ext2
[18:44] <mattgyver83> Great, thanks seb
[18:44] <resno> tgunr: i think the persmisions on the remote machine are incorrect.
[18:44] <sebsebseb> mattgyver83: not sure if it works over networks or whatever your doing though
[18:44] <cjones_> i have files on my desktop but no icons how do i get my icons back
[18:44] <sebsebseb> mattgyver83: ,but  in a dual boot set up it would work nicely
[18:45] <tgunr> ssh remote ls -la /path
[18:45] <sebsebseb> mattgyver83: I would  only use  such a driver on something that is only a data partition, not  the home partition
[18:45] <sebsebseb> mattgyver83: after all  bad things can happen to Windows, that then wipes data
[18:45] <Lartza_> Why is ubuntu sucking all the internet from my windows computer?
[18:45] <albech> mattgyver83, are you sharing your device by manually connecting it to other machines or over the network?
[18:45] <sebsebseb> mattgyver83: http://www.fs-driver.org
[18:45] <Lethalman> anybody with gedit-plugins 2.26?
[18:46] <Lartza_> Or one of our windows computers
[18:46] <Lartza_> One chat doesn't work at all
[18:46] <mattgyver83> albech, a little bit of both, mostly over the network though
[18:46] <albech> mattgyver83, in that case you should look at samba instead
[18:46] <mattgyver83> I just want to make sure that in the event that i need to hook the device up to a windows machine to transfer data that way its not unreadable.
[18:46] <ActiveFrost> are there any way to align desktop icons vertically ( I mean, they are aligned but I wan to add some fixed space between them ) ?

[18:47] <blackdemon> julian_: and did you set the ip-address static? Can you verify that the ipaddress is asigned with ifconfig (mayby ifconfig -a)
[18:47] <mattgyver83> the biggy is if i want to create symlinks.  I know that wont work in windows, thats the only reason i am thinking ext2
[18:47] <Lartza_> Why is ubuntu using network all the time?
[18:48] <Blue-Winston> is it lartza? :S
[18:48] <julian_> blackdemon:  ip adress is set to static in interfaces but at boot theres a dhcp discover thing. i dont know where that comes from.
[18:48] <Lartza_> Yes
[18:49] <Lartza_> SOme internet sites don't work at all without disconnecting the linux box
[18:49] <Blue-Winston> :S - how many times have you reproduced this issue?
[18:49] <Blue-Winston> is it always the same sites?
[18:49] <Lartza_> It's always the one site
[18:49] <cjones__> i have lost my icons on my desktop and the files are still there and i cant right click on my desktop please help
[18:50] <Blue-Winston> do you mind if I ask which site it is?

[18:50] <Lethalman> cjones__: run nautilus
[18:50] <Lartza_> or http//chat.suomi24.fi
[18:51] <blackdemon> can you change the ip address with ifconfig? like "ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 up" ...
[18:51] <Blue-Winston> are both computers pluged into your router with wires or are they wireless?
[18:51] <Lartza_> Works on the computer that is connected to internet thourgh the linux bow

[18:53] <qcjn> hi, anyone know how to change the channel with mplayer via pvr 150 ?? opened "mplayer /dev/video0" , but can't change channel ??
[18:53] <grawity> albech: If you have never seen working Windows, take a look at this PC. -->
[18:53] <Lartza_> One is not connected to linux
[18:53] <blackdemon> /etc/sudoers
[18:54] <Lartza_> One(the one that doesn't work) is direct router
[18:54] <blackdemon> root permissions will idd be something usefull :p
[18:54] <julian_> blackdemon: i think so :D
[18:54] <Lartza_> This one I am writing on is Router > Adapters > Ubuntu Server > Me :)
[18:55] <mamayr> heh ... i was just reading bash.org ... and somehow felt the urge to start xchat ^^
[18:55] <Xyc0> How do I change the main monitor on an intel videocard?
[18:56] <iQxer0> hi ppl..
[18:56] <p73> I just upgraded from OpenOffice 2.x to 3.0, and now it seems that my file assocations have been lost. ODT files now open in Okular. How can I restore the correct file association permanently?
[18:56] <iQxer0> i need help on dual monitor..
[18:56] <sebsebseb> !default |  p73
[18:56] <iQxer0> i had been trying to fix it the last two days..
[18:57] <julian_> blackdemon is that correct: user ALL=NOPASSWD: (ALL) ALL
[18:57] <iQxer0> who could help me out with my issue ?
[18:57] <grawity> julian_: I think it should be ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
[18:57] <sebsebseb> iQxer0: no one as of right now it seems
[18:57] <iQxer0> okay..
[18:57] <sebsebseb> !patience |  iQxer0
[18:58] <albech> iQxer0, !ask
[18:58] <sebsebseb> albech: he already did
[18:58] <julian_> thanks grawity i try that
[18:58] <Zeeded> iQxer0, you need help setting up dual screen?
[18:58] <sebsebseb> iQxer0: the channel was rather busy yesterday, but for some reason not today
[18:58] <blackdemon> I think so
[18:58] <iQxer0> i was here yesterday too..
[18:58] <iQxer0> it was pretty busy..
[18:58] <Zeeded> iQxer0, what is your exact problem
[18:59] <godstar> iQxer0: have you tried envyng driver??
[18:59] <Xyc0> I didn't think this was a complicated request, xorg reconfig doesn't work anymore--it seems to be drive based.  I know why we moved away from xorg.conf, but there isn't a strait forward way of finding this information.
[18:59] <Xyc0> driver*
[18:59] <blackdemon> sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL    -> all users of group sudo can get persmissions
[18:59] <iQxer0> i have two 18.5 monitors, and i am using a ati Radeon HD 4350
[18:59] <sebsebseb> Xyc0: you want to reconfigure xorg?
[18:59] <iQxer0> i want to have one big desktop for both monitors..
[19:00] <Xyc0> sebsebseb: I am trying to change the default display monitor and xorg reconfigure doesn't do it anymore
[19:00] <sebsebseb> Xyc0: you can access recovery mode from the bootloader,  and do it there
[19:00] <sebsebseb> Xyc0: then you got a clean xorg again, and you can try things again
[19:00] <iQxer0> now am getting a clone on both monitors..
[19:00] <Geboy> anyone can help me setup my ubuntu 8.10 to become the print server for windows client?
[19:01] <sebsebseb> Geboy: not sure if Samba does print servers as well, but
[19:01] <sebsebseb> !samba
[19:01] <Xyc0> sebsebseb: I didn't break xorg, it just won't load the changes I make when I reconfigure
[19:01] <sebsebseb> Xyc0: ok
[19:02] <Geboy> sebsebseb: i tried samba, but windows client wont print
[19:02] <iQxer0> graingert gave me a tutorial link, but i couldnt solve my issue..
[19:02] <sebsebseb> !print
[19:02] <iQxer0> i have two 18.5 monitors, and i am using a ati Radeon HD 4350 ,  i want to have big desktop..
[19:02] <albech> Geboy, which printer are you trying to print to?
[19:02] <julian_> blackdemon he alwys try to find a dhcp
[19:02] <albech> Geboy, can you print to it from your Ubuntu box?
[19:02] <Geboy> albech: yes i can
[19:03] <Geboy> the windows client can't see the network printer
[19:03] <sebsebseb> Geboy: I think, without going on it, the last link the bot gave maybe?  w
[19:03] <Seven_Six_Two> I've ssh'd in to another ubuntu box on my lan, and I'm trying to pause a movie through totem's cli (allows currently running to be affected from cli) and all I keep getting is "Cannot open display 0" or "Cannot open display :0"
[19:03] <albech> Geboy, is it a network printer?
[19:03] <Seven_Six_Two> I'm typing    totem --display=:0 --play-pause
[19:03] <Geboy> albech: it was a network printer when in windows
[19:04] <albech> Geboy, well how is it connected?? USB, RJ45, parallel??
[19:04] <Seven_Six_Two> I've ssh'd in to the box using the same username as the the one logged in local
[19:04] <Vague> I have a bunch of separated unallocated spaces on my HD, I'm trying to consolidate them, and was told a gparted live CD, unfortunately it kernel panics every time I try and start it. Is this because I burnt the ISO to a CD-RW? I don't want to waste a CD-ROM if it's going to fail.
[19:04] <Geboy> sebsebseb: the last link was pointing about printing from ubuntu to windows
[19:04] <blackdemon> julian_: I had that problem to, I copied the /etc/init.d/networking file to another file (networking_copy) and created a script that calls the copied version but in background. It doesn't change the dhcp call, but made booting a lot faster ...
[19:04] <Geboy> albech: USB, its a Canon MP150
[19:05] <Seven_Six_Two> Vague, did you do an md5sum on the image?
[19:05] <Vague> Seven_Six_Two, No, should I have?
[19:05] <tsimpson> Seven_Six_Two: it's a security restriction, you have to give yourself access to the display, see man xhost
[19:05] <babanaboy> somebody here speak german ?
[19:05] <Seven_Six_Two> Vague, yeah. to make sure it's not corrupt
[19:05] <sebsebseb> !de |  babanaboy
[19:05] <Seven_Six_Two> tsimpson, perfect. thanks
[19:06] <albech> Geboy, are you using CUPS?
[19:06] <babanaboy> thx
[19:06] <Vague> Seven_Six_Two, is that feature on the boot menu of the gparted liveCD?
[19:06] <mizipzor> how must i chmod a file to get -rwxr-xr-x?
[19:06] <sebsebseb> babanaboy: ok no problem
[19:06] <Vague> Seven_Six_Two, Or is that something I need to do on here?
[19:06] <Geboy> albech: the test print page from ubuntu says its cups
[19:06] <tgunr> chmod 755 file
[19:06] <albech> and when you type the IP number of the Ubuntu box in a browser on your Windows bow it doesnt show?
[19:06] <Geboy> albech: sorry before, i'm really new at ubuntu
[19:07] <Behappy> Hello ,
[19:07] <albech> Geboy, np
[19:07] <mizipzor> tgunr: thank you
[19:07] <Vague> !hi | Behappy
[19:07] <pixelmonkey> trying to build evolution from scratch, but when I run apt-get build-dep evolution, it says, "E: Build-dependencies for evolution could not be satisfied."  How do I debug that problem with apt?
[19:07] <Geboy> its there
[19:08] <julian_> blackdemon: anywhere in the system /init.d script or somewhere else seems to be a script which creates a new interfaces file
[19:08] <Geboy> i can ping the ip of the ubuntu box from windows box
[19:08] <clearscreen> Is there something similar to fruity loops for linux? or even something more simplistic (like .mod tracker software)
[19:08] <Seven_Six_Two> Vague, you would get the md5sum from where you downloaded it, then compare it to the output of md5sum
[19:08] <julian_> blackdemon:  if i booted up its there if i put that into my pc here its gone. so it seems to be dynamic
[19:08] <albacker> how to change keyboard layout under ubuntu ?
[19:08] <albech> Geboy, If you want to print directly to CUPS, you'll want to select http://YOUR.IP.ADDY.HERE:631/printers/PRINTER_NAME as the printer on the network to print to.
[19:08] <blackdemon> julian_: maybe the NetworkManager ;)
[19:08] <julian_> blackdemon: thats why my changes to the interfaces.tpl and interfaces_dyn.tpl didnt make any changes
[19:09] <julian_> theres no network manager cause theres no WM
[19:09] <Ienorand> albacker: system - prefs - keyboard
[19:09] <Seven_Six_Two> Vague, you would run it from the command line. see    man md5sum          Some burning software (k3b) will show you the md5sum when you select it as the image to burn
[19:09] <resno> I cant make changes in my own directory.
[19:09] <Job> pixelmonkey, check the build log and you will find the missing dependencies that you need to install first, allow me to ask you why install from source?
[19:09] <albacker> Ienorand, oh.. thanks :D
[19:09] <mizipzor> just getting into init.d scripts, i get the error "rc_exit: command not found", how do i fix that? im kinda new to bashscripting but i guess it needs something like c's #include?
[19:09] <albacker> Ienorand, isn't there a CL way ?
[19:09] <pixelmonkey> Job, there are major regressions in Evolution in Intrepid, and I'm trying to help the developers find solutions for these serious bugs.
[19:09] <Geboy> albech: so everytime i want to print something from a windows client in my network, i have to typed it manually?
[19:09] <Vague> Seven_Six_Two, Alright, thanks
[19:09] <Pici> clearscreen: If you have the free space, check out the ubuntustudio-audio package, or specifically in there perhaps ardour.  (Note, I'm not into music production so I may not be getting the program features right)
[19:10] <nethans_> Hi guys..
[19:10] <pixelmonkey> Job, what build log?
[19:10] <Geboy> albech: coz i can't add printer in windows that point to the ubuntu box
[19:10] <Seven_Six_Two> pixelmonkey, like not being able to tray without alltray? lol.
[19:10] <Ienorand> albacker: probably, but I don't know it.
[19:10] <nethans_> do you know if there is a lkl keylogger for ubuntu .. usually it runs under debian.. but it sseems not to work with ubuntu
[19:10] <clearscreen> Pici: cool, I'll have a look
[19:10] <albacker> or maybe changing layouts : Ienorand . i use fluxbox and i'd like to change keyboard layouts wwith key shortcuts :/
[19:10] <albech> Geboy, you should be able to add a printer URL somewhere in the Add Printer wizard
[19:10] <pixelmonkey> Seven_Six_Two, vfolders of vfolders don't work, unread message counts are incorrect, searches are inaccurate, among others...
[19:11] <albech> Geboy, let me launch a windows rq..
[19:11] <Seven_Six_Two> pixelmonkey, I can't get the spam folder to stop showing that there are unread messages.
[19:11] <Behappy> I have installed Ubunto 8.04 on my external 2.5? HDD , but unfortunatelly won't to boot from other computer is there some thisg shoud be resolve before booting in other computer ??
[19:11] <resno> i changed the permissions on my directory and cant get the syntax right to change it back
[19:11] <pixelmonkey> Seven_Six_Two, unread message count is altogether inaccurate, it's a logged bug on bugzilla and lots of folks complaining about it on evolution-list
[19:11] <blackdemon> I can't directly imagine the script that changes it back, but maybe you can create a modified version and create a script that overwrite the 2 files ...
[19:11] <Geboy> albech: thats the wierd part, everytime i run the add printer wizzard giving the syntax you've mentioned, the wizard always said no printer
[19:12] <blackdemon> not realy a nice way to fix it, but it may work :p
[19:12] <Geboy> i mean something like can't find printer
[19:12] <pixelmonkey> Seven_Six_Two, I have no idea why Ubuntu included Evolution 2.24 in Intrepid.  Only reason I can guess is because GNOME included it and no one bothered to test it before declaring it "stable"
[19:12] <julian_> blackdemon: i try to do a readonly file as interface there
[19:12] <wuffi600> hi
[19:12] <Seven_Six_Two> pixelmonkey, oh ok. I figured. It's not that bad for me. I liked kontact, but I don't like kde4 yet.
[19:12] <albech> Geboy, and if you just type that in a browser what will it display?
[19:12] <blackdemon> oh, forgotten :s
[19:12] <Ienorand> albacker: There's "setxkbmap" from terminal, dunno if that helps.
[19:12] <Seven_Six_Two> pixelmonkey, that's why I migrated. The only thing I hate is the lack of tray.
[19:13] <Geboy> albech, nothing...401
[19:13] <Job> pixelmonkey, okay, every time you build a file config.log is created with all the configuration settings met or even unmet, just check whether there's one it might give you a hint
[19:13] <albacker> Ienorand, i'll have a look. thanks.
[19:14] <albech> Geboy, http://YOUR.IP.ADDY.HERE:631
[19:14] <Geboy> albech, can it be for the 64bit version of ubuntu i used?
[19:14] <Vague> Seven_Six_Two, Brasero is creating an image checksum >.> Kind of stuck at 27% for some reason though?
[19:14] <albech> Geboy, doubt it
[19:14] <QaDeS>  hiyas. can i hook up ekiga to jack, or is there another program i can use for that?
[19:14] <Behappy> what I should to doing to boot ubunto installed on external  usb 2.5" hdd in deffirent PC ????
[19:14] <pixelmonkey> Job, you mean when I try to build the package?  But shouldn't I run apt-get build-dep *before* I build a package?
[19:15] <Geboy> albech, nothing
[19:15] <Geboy> wierd isn't it
[19:15] <albech> Geboy, then the problem is not at your windows machine
[19:15] <ActiveFrost> I have a small problem with LAMP - where I should add php_curl.dll extension ( nothing happens if I add it to php.ini ) ?
[19:15] <julian_> blackdemon: that maybe gives me an error but then i know the file which writes that interface file ;)
[19:15] <blackdemon> julian_: sometimes the files that are generated by a script have a line with the name of that script , is that the case?
[19:15] <albech> Geboy, your CUPS isnt installed correctly
[19:15] <mib_wx6k28> ]
[19:15] <mib_wx6k28> hi after i wake my computer from suspend mode, my computer wakes up, but my monitor doesn't change; it is just a black screen. also, when my computer is working normally, the light on my monitor is green, when it is off it is orange. when I put my computer to sleep and wake it up my monitor light stays orange.
[19:15] <Geboy> hmm...
[19:16] <Geboy> albech, how can i fixed it?
[19:16] <iceroot> looking for a mail-client which has write-support to ldap and support imap
[19:16] <julian_> blackdemon: there was a symbolic link which i havent seen to a writeable folder
[19:16] <albech> Geboy, been a while since I played with CUPS
[19:16] <julian_> blackdemon:  lets see what he is doing now
[19:16] <albech> Geboy, let me check a few things
[19:16] <julian_> no error no dhcp waiting
[19:17] <Geboy> albech, don't bother, its past midnite here....i might try to search bout cups later in the morning
[19:17] <Behappy> is it possible to install ubunto 2.04 on external usb drive .???
[19:17] <Geboy> albech, atleast i found out the main cause of the problem
[19:17] <albech> Geboy, ok gl
[19:18] <Geboy> albech, thanks alot. i'll come back here tomorrow if i reach a dead end
[19:18] <Geboy> *_-
[19:18] <evilkillerfiggin> anyone here got an intuos4 working with ubuntu?
[19:18] <macman_> anyone use k9copy ?
[19:18] <Job> pixelmonkey, exactly, but remember it must be able to see those dependecies you are told are not satisfied, it's like when you are compiling a program source code, one must define where the library and other dependent files are located
[19:18] <julian_> blackdemon: ill post my interfaces maybe something is wrong with that
[19:18] <pixelmonkey> Job, ok, I think I see the deps that are broken
[19:19] <pixelmonkey> Job:  libsqlite3-dev: Depends: libsqlite3-0 (= 3.5.9-3ubuntu1) but 3.6.10-1 is to be installed
[19:19] <Geboy> !jaunty
[19:19] <pixelmonkey> Job: it can't install libsqlite3-dev... how do I resolve that?
[19:19] <julian_> blackdemon: thats my interfaces: http://pastebin.com/m18d51442
[19:19] <yoshimit> Hi all! I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 and need some software to capture screen as video. Someone can suggest some app ?? thank you.
[19:19] <julian_> blackdemon: he tells me that he has not all settings/variables
[19:19] <Job> pixelmonkey, which error msg do you get?
[19:19] <mib_wx6k28> hi after i wake my computer from suspend mode, my computer wakes up, but my monitor doesn't change; it is just a black screen. also, when my computer is working normally, the light on my monitor is green, when it is off it is orange. when I put my computer to sleep and wake it up my monitor light stays orange.
[19:20] <pixelmonkey> Job: E: Broken packages

[19:20] <julian_> blackdemon: found the error myself i always type adress not address
[19:20] <Vague> Seven_Six_Two, Would the fact that the disc check hangs at 27% indicate a problem? Because I can't seem to motivate it past that.
[19:20] <tlm2024> is there a way to get python 2.6 on ubuntu 8.10 without compiling it yourself /
[19:20] <tlm2024> ?
[19:21] <Seven_Six_Two> Vague, that's a distinct possibility.
[19:21] <Vague> Seven_Six_Two, Alright, I'll blank and reburn at a lower speed.
[19:21] <Guest59176> Hi!, are there any rss readers for gnome with newsgator support?
[19:21] <yoshimit> mib_wx6k28: istanbul
[19:21] <yoshimit> mib_wx6k28: I'll check... thank you.
[19:22] <yoshimit> Ienorand: thank you. I'll check it too.
[19:22] <p73> ubottu: thanks
[19:22] <blackdemon> julian_: idd, i looked over it ... :D
[19:22] <Seven_Six_Two> Vague, I would download it again without deleting the first download just in case it's a hd problem. the md5sum checks the image. that has to succeed before you should burn
[19:22] <Job> pixelmonkey, try apt-get -f install
[19:22] <julian_> blackdemon: what means idd?
[19:22] <p73> sebsebseb: thanks
[19:22] <Vague> Seven_Six_Two, Alright, thanks
[19:22] <SimoneB> is there a jaunty-specific help channel?
[19:22] <ikt> indeed
[19:22] <julian_> yeah
[19:22] <Pici> SimoneB: #ubuntu+1
[19:22] <julian_> blackdemon: thank you so much you helped me alot
[19:23] <blackdemon> julian_: idd = indeed -> i use it in dutch :p
[19:23] <pixelmonkey> Job: nope, still broken packages
[19:23] <SimoneB> Pici: thanks!
[19:23] <julian_> blackdemon: im german :)
[19:23] <sebsebseb> p73: ok no problem
[19:24] <Job> tlm2024, my good advice is that you install from source, that way you will be able to control how python works
[19:24] <blackdemon> julian_: I hope my help was usefull. So we are neighbours (the country), I'm from Belgium
[19:24] <Vague> Seven_Six_Two, Wow, I was at a way outdated site, that's probably the problem...I had .3.6 =P There's a .4.3 already
[19:25] <Job> pixelmonkey, try removing the broken packages, type apt-get update and then re-install them
[19:25] <julian_> blackdemon: great help. you lead me into right directions. and also there was a big learning effect for me
[19:25] <pixelmonkey> Job: a little tricky, libsqlite3-0 has like a gazillion dependencies
[19:25] <wuffi600> how can i remove compcache? ... or at least disable it for all time?
[19:25] <julian_> k now ive to start windows for my matlab connection to that machine have a great day blackdemon
[19:25] <dbu> Hi, after putting my computer to sleep my sound has stopped functioning, tried restarting, but with no help...
[19:26] <sebsebseb> dbu: ok first of all
[19:26] <Job> pixelmonkey, you will have to do it, coz the error means there's some conflicts within those packages

[19:31] <jcapasso10> what drive format should my hdd be to install linux?
[19:31] <mib_wx6k28> jcapasso10: you don't need to format your drive manually, ubuntu will do that for you
[19:32] <jcapasso10> its asking for a file system type
[19:32] <pimpa> ciao
[19:32] <jcapasso10> should I just leave it as ext2?
[19:32] <mib_wx6k28> yes
[19:32] <sfuentes> how do i get a list of the files (with their paths) from the aptitude cli?
[19:32] <ikt> ext2?
[19:32] <ikt> thought ext3 was default
[19:32] <jcapasso10> awesome thanks!
[19:32] <jcapasso10> mine defaulted to ext2
[19:33] <sfuentes> for example, i want to know what files where installed when i did aptitude install foo-something

[19:36] <wahnfrieden> Is there a lighter window manager than Xfce that is still easy to use/doesn't require tons of manual tweaking?
[19:37] <wahnfrieden> I'm running vbox so xfce is a little slow

[19:50] <mattl> hey, how can i remove the ubuntu branding in GNOME, so instead of an Ubuntu logo, I'd see the GNOME 'foot' icon?
[19:51] <ubuntu_> hello
[19:51] <derspankster> hell-o
[19:52] <ectospasm> is there a quick way to determine mp3 bitrate?  file doesn't do it, and amarok seems not to either...
[19:52] <sebsebseb> mattl: lol
[19:52] <sebsebseb> !icons |  mattl
[19:52] <sebsebseb> !branding | matll
[19:52] <sebsebseb> mattl: look around Ubuntu and you can probably figure out how to change the icon
[19:53] <sebsebseb> mattl: maybe  you should check out Gnewsense to  :d  since it's a 100% free software version of Ubuntu,   I was half joking their by the way
[19:54] <mattl> sebsebseb: yeah, i am using it on another machine, actually. i am using a real mishmash of things on this machine.
[19:54] <sebsebseb> mattl:  oh you got gnewsense?
[19:54] <mattl> sebsebseb: yeah :)
[19:54] <sebsebseb> mattl: what's wrong with the  Ubuntu logo, except for it not being 100% open?
[19:55] <mattl> sebsebseb: i'm making screenshots, and i want them to be generic gnome screenshots
[19:55] <sebsebseb> mattl: just like the Firefox  logo isn't 100% open hence  Iceweasel in Debian instead of Firefox
[19:55] <austin> I can't get my mic to work :(
[19:55] <austin> I've tryed the diff. audio settings, and nothing will pick up
[19:55] <clancy> what about XFS for a desktop?
[19:55] <mattl> sebsebseb: yes, i mean nonfree things like that bother me in a different way
[19:55] <sebsebseb> mattl: by the way Ubuntu is not real Gnome, it's based on Gnome,  hence why for example Firefox is the default browser, instead of one of Gnome's
[19:55] <ubuntu_> Anyone have an idea why wireless would work perfectly when running a live session of the ubuntu cd, but have freq disconnects and low speeds when logged into the actual installed ubuntu?
[19:56] <sebsebseb> mattl: find out what non free stuff you got instaled by installing  vrms
[19:56] <mattl> sebsebseb: vrms doesn't really work terribly well.
[19:56] <sebsebseb> mattl: nice little  virtual  richard stallman app that runs in the terminal and tells you.  of course it woudn't pick up on non free Wine apps
[19:56] <jcapasso10> how do you choose i different hard disk to install ubuntu too when going through the install set up?

[19:57] <SpeedyG> Hi, i'm having some trouble getting my wlan pcmcia card to work.. its a ralink 2500 chip, but somehow the wlan interface is not added when I plug the card in the pcmcia slot... lspci shows the card, lshw shows everything as well.. it says network UNCLAIMED
[19:57] <jcapasso10> i thought I did that
[19:57] <mattl> sebsebseb, Ienorand.. thanks for your help.
[19:57] <jcapasso10> i used Gparted
[19:58] <austin> Does anyone have a work microphone???? I can't get my install to pick up sound
[19:58] <madsj> (the problem applies to more pages, and also with net-tv from the same webpage)
[19:58] <Vague> Okay...So my problem is: I need to consolidate unallocated space on my hard drive, gparted seems unable to move the unallocated (even if I format the pieces) together...I have a few 3gig partitions broken up, and I need to put them together, to make one solid space that is usable.
[19:59] <joshjtl> anyone know of a free way to send and receive sms online?

[20:00] <jetienne> magnetron: ok thanks
[20:00] <Vague> jetienne, but, in ubuntu, it's listed as "Image Viewer" just so you know =)
[20:00] <joshjtl> eth01: with what app?
[20:00] <Ienorand> jcapasso10: I think you will have to step into manual partitioning anyhow, unless the options do show up with the correct drives, take note of the names of the drives/partitions in gparted and use that in manual partitioning.
[20:00] <Glowball> With 'update', I didn't meant an update to Jaunty
[20:00] <Glowball> Just a normal system update

My question is there: Anyone have any ideas on how to consolidate unallocated space on a hard drive O_o I've tried gparted, and gparted liveCDs, which were previously recommended, I'm looking for other ideas, because gparted can't consolidate the space.

[20:06] <Vague> magnetron, I was answering you before I was being insulted =) Anyway, I have attempted to partition them in many different formats, all for the purpose of consolidation, none work.
[20:07] <Ienorand> Dr_Drozd: Depends, virtualbox is free as in freedom, vmware player comboed with http://easyvmx.com/ will probably be pretty good as well...
[20:07] <n8tuser> Vague-> consolidating discontinous spaces will be difficult, if you have an lvm setup, that would be easier
[20:07] <sebsebseb> Dr_Drozd: no there are two versions of virtual box, one that is closed source, and the other is open source
[20:07] <z00m> noob question but how do i give a .sh file execute permissions ?
[20:07] <magnetron> Vague→ you didn't tell me in what sense they were unallocated. you mentioned formatting them, but unallocated space cannot be formatted. what exactly do you refer to when you call it "unallocated"?
[20:08] <bytor4232> Dr_Drozd: I use virtualbox for hosting servers.  It works great.
[20:08] <n8tuser> z00m-> chmod to u+x
[20:08] <Peg_^> Hi
[20:08] <Vague> n8tuser, I don't =( That's the problem, it's quite annoying, I have random bits of 3gs of space all over the place.
[20:08] <sebsebseb> Peg_^: hi
[20:09] <Peg_^> ;)
[20:09] <Vague> magnetron, they are unallocated space now, I have partitioned and formatted them, 4 times over...I'm attempting to get them into a single, large, partition. It's broken into 3 pieces of 3gigs each right now, thanks to Dell MediaDirect (garr!)
[20:09] <bytor4232> Dr_Drozd: I've run up to 12 Ubuntu JeOS servers on it, all doing really intensive stuff, and the host server just kept plugging away.  Vmware gets a lot of press, but VirtualBox is pretty underrated.
[20:09] <n8tuser> Vague-> these are 3g's left over from a partition? or unused spaces?
[20:09] <SkyLeach> hey all
[20:09] <Peg_^> hi
[20:09] <skyraven> hello guys, did anyone experience problems with DVD burning with Linux ? I'm getting with virtually any application WRITE@LBA=220h failed with SK=0h/ASC=00h/ACQ=02h]: Input/output error
[20:09] <raven> AUDACITY: is it possible to import several files into ONE SINGLE track automatically
[20:09] <SkyLeach> I've inherited some neglected ubuntu servers that are still on feisty-dawn
[20:09] <skyraven> If I let k3b for example on auto it damages the disc write after attempting to start writing to it
[20:09] <skyraven> If I set k3b to 12x it writes the DVD it ends up ok..and at the end all files are corrupted or unreadable
[20:09] <SkyLeach> can anyone recommend some apt mirrors that still have feisty?  I need to upgrade these things
[20:09] <skyraven> I updated the firmware to the latest on the writer in an attempt to solve this
[20:10] <skyraven> of course ..if I use windows xp it works
[20:10] <raven> AUDACITY: is it possible to import several files into ONE SINGLE track automatically
[20:10] <Vague> magnetron, basically, I'm upset that 9 gigs of my hard drive isn't being used because It's broken up in a way I'd have to have 3 different partitions of 3 gigs each, which is silly...I should be able to make them into a contiguous, single, partition, but I can't find a way...
[20:11] <magnetron> SkyLeach→ i recommend getting the gutsy and hardy alternate cd, it's the most reliable method of upgrading end-of-life'd installs
[20:11] <SkyLeach> magnetron, cds aren't an option
[20:11] <SkyLeach> and if I go that route, I'll just rebuild the servers with gentoo anyhow
[20:11] <SkyLeach> these machines are at a co-lo center
[20:11] <z00m> "wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned empty string" any idea why the hell this is happening with winetricks ?#
[20:13] <clearscreen> Vague: assuming you have something like this: [big ext3] [ ntfs ] [small unused space], you can expand [ ntfs ] to use the unused space, then resize it on the left, and then resize your ext3 partition to take that space.. easily done through gparted
[20:13] <raven> AUDACITY: is it possible to import several files into ONE SINGLE track automatically
[20:14] <magnetron> raven→ how do you mean "automatically"?
[20:15] <clearscreen> Vague: http://pastebin.com/d45280fc4 < apply/adjust to your personal situation :) just a general approach
[20:15] <Vague> clearscreen, Well, currently, it's like this: (3gig Unallocated) (Big NTFS Windows Install) Then! /dev/sda2 (which is 33g) is setup like (4g swap) (25g linux) (3g unallocated)
[20:16] <raven> magnetron when i import 100 files at the same time i need them to be placed automatically horizontal in one track - otherwise i'd have to do it manually ;)
[20:16] <Vague> Oh, and there's an unallocated bit right after the windows, and before the linux sda2 bits.
[20:16] <ziarkaen> Can packages in the repos recommend other uninstalled packages for install, because adept is suggesting I install a "not installed" pkg.  What is the mechanism by which this can happen?
[20:17] <Vague> clearscreen, to extend a partition, wouldn't it have to be extended into unallocated space? or would it have to be partitioned and empty?
[20:17] <clearscreen> Vague: empty space
[20:17] <clearscreen> unallocated space*
[20:18] <Vague> clearscreen, hmm, so theoretically, I could just...add it to windows, and linux, and give them a few extra gigs, by extended left and right on gparted?
[20:18] <Vague> Thus ending the problem altogether?
[20:18] <clearscreen> Vague: yes, if they're next to eachother you can just resize and gparted will expand into unallocated space
[20:19] <clearscreen> you probably have to boot into live cd though
[20:19] <Vague> clearscreen, yeah, I'll use the live CD and try that then, thanks =)
[20:21] <mattgyver83> I just moved a folder containing several symlinks to a different HD.  Is there a way to mass rename the link target folder so that I do not have to recreate these links again?

[20:28] <nikitis> sebsebseb, i waited 3 mins
[20:28] <nikitis> sebsebseb, people lose focus after that long, i have to remind them
[20:28] <sebsebseb> nikitis: yes well haven't you noticed, loads of people here, but hardly anyone chatting
[20:29] <Mrspry> Hello,anyone knows why?MY computer just froze on the spot I was using Firefox and chatting using Pidgin,after it froze my speakers made a weird sound.
[20:29] <sebsebseb> nikitis: seems loads of people auto join this channel or something, and  leave their clients connected to it for ages, hence why it says 1483  nicks
[20:29] <sebsebseb> nikitis: for actsaul chatter,  this channel is not that active today
[20:29] <ariqs> people yell at you for repeating, but it does get results ;)
[20:29] <nikitis> sebsebseb, at least you know the uwserbase is growing
[20:29] <sebsebseb> nikitis: it is questionable how many  people in here,  actsaully use Ubuntu though
[20:30] <nikitis> ariqs, i repeated nothing
[20:30] <ariqs> no doubt most of them
[20:30] <sebsebseb> ariqs: if  you repate every so often with the question sure,  anyone?  is not going to help you much
[20:30] <nikitis> sebsebseb, in fact it
[20:30] <sebsebseb> nikitis: yes you put anyone?  instead which is a  bit silly,  wait a bit and then put the whole question again
[20:30] <nikitis> sebsebseb, its helped me numorous times
[20:30] <Mrspry> Hello,anyone knows why?MY computer just froze on the spot I was using Firefox and chatting using Pidgin,after it froze my speakers made a weird sound.
[20:31] <ariqs> easy way to test is that most windows users will be using mIRC so just version everyone and see if they are in mIRC. If not, chances are good they are in linux, and if they're here, chances are it's ubuntu :)
[20:31] <nikitis> sebsebseb, people do look up
[20:31] <clearscreen> there's no point in arguing, there are channel rules about repeating your question / having patience
[20:31] <sebsebseb> nikitis: as for the userbase well,  there are bound to be people in here right now, that aren't using Ubuntu, because they are using another Linux distro instead
[20:31] <mack431> hi
[20:31] <nikitis> sebsebseb, yeah thats just wierd
[20:31] <sebsebseb> clearscreen: indeed, however when the channel is dead arguing as you called it, well made it at least more active :D
[20:31] <mack431> i would like to use this opportunity
[20:32] <ariqs> rules are meant to be followed? *grins*
[20:32] <mack431> to thank the inventors of ubuntu
[20:32] <sebsebseb> mack431: ok what do you want help with?
[20:32] <sebsebseb> mack431: oh right well,  not many of them are giong to be in here right now etc
[20:32] <mack431> for such a great system with a lot of free tools
[20:32] <sebsebseb> mack431: also most/all of Ubuntu's programs are found in other distros as well

[20:35] <blunder> on my notebook running 8.10 the tty console is black and white... is that the way it is suppsed to be
[20:35] <CyberAngel> Anyone a DNS expert?
[20:35] <tmehlhorn>  the cursur is blurry and the background looks like a bacgammon board
[20:36] <sebsebseb> !dns |  CyberAngel
[20:36] <sebsebseb> CyberAngel: looks like  ubottu isn't even :)
 there's no point in arguing, there are channel rules about repeating your question / having patience <-- I bet this guy doesn't take the tags off his bed sheets ;P
[20:36] <CyberAngel> lol
[20:37] <CyberAngel> Um.. thanks ubotto.. guess we need to up the tech level of that bot
[20:37] <sebsebseb> CyberAngel: asking for an expert is one thing, but asking your actsaul question is another
[20:37] <CyberAngel> ok, I'll give it a go
[20:37] <thedarkone> hey all i have a problem with nvidia graphic card it some reason my screen goes nutz then locks up after 23mins
[20:37] <ariqs> half the dialogue in this channel is telling people what not to do
[20:37] <sebsebseb> thedarkone: which version of Ubuntu? how old is your card?
[20:38] <sebsebseb> ariqs: why do you say that?
[20:38] <thedarkone> 8.04 and brand new card
[20:38] <CyberAngel> Question:  I have a web hosting company I purchsed.  It has DNS on (ick) Windows.  I want to import all of the DNS zones from that server, turn it off and mkae them all master on teh new server
[20:38] <thedarkone> it a nvidia gs6200st
[20:38] <ariqs> thedarkone, the card may be overheating or malfunctioning itself
[20:39] <thedarkone> just started it when i did update
[20:39] <CyberAngel> question (cont): is there is way to simply make teh zone a slave, suck it all in, then convert to a master zone?
[20:39] <sebsebseb> CyberAngel: your issue is not  distro specfic, you can try #linux a more general channel and I guess #networking may even be useful
[20:39] <thedarkone> from 2.6.24.19 to 2.6.24.23
[20:39] <mark_> any one now how to rip dvd in ubuntu
[20:39] <IWannaBeTheGuy> Hello, sup? Do someone know if I can request an IP on startup, probably in the "/etc/conf.d/net" file. manually i do "dhcpcd -r 11.22.33.44". Thanks in advanced
[20:39] <fosco_> mark_: use ogmrip
[20:39] <thedarkone> i put a fan on the card
[20:39] <joshjtl> anyone know where to get an account to be able to use smssend with kopete?
[20:40] <mark_> fosco is it click and point
[20:40] <stousignant1> mark_: thoggen is also an option
[20:40] <fosco_> mark_: very easy to use
[20:42] <sebsebseb> IWannaBeTheGuy: no, but clever using both channels
[20:42] <tmehlhorn> I cant install ubuntu- graphics are fine on splash screen and through the gui showing the components being installed. then i comes up with an orange and black blurry screen looks like a backgammon board. cant see or do anything.

[20:43] <Zopiac> is it possible to soft force a cd player to eject?
[20:44] <magnetron> Zopiac→ there's the "eject" command
[20:44] <Zopiac> er cd drive
[20:44] <bytor4232> Zopiac: a paperclip into the little tiny hole on the front always works for me
[20:44] <Zopiac> bytor4232: didn't work for some reason :/
[20:44] <bytor4232> Zopiac: your probably not shoving it in far enough.  Thats what she said.
[20:44] <mark_> fosco any help please
[20:44] <magnetron> Zopiac→ what you usually want to do is to unmount/umount the CD
[20:45] <Zopiac> bytor4232: when I shoved it in first, nothing happened. tried harder, and there was a whirring noise, it stopped spinning, but still not ejectable :/
[20:45] <Zopiac> magnetron: how? clicking the unmount button in Nautilus isn't doing anything
[20:46] <blackdemon> open a command prompt and type "umount /dev/cdrom"
[20:46] <deany> Zopiac, looks like a reboot is only option left
[20:46] <blackdemon> if it don't work, try as root
[20:46] <Zopiac> blackdemon: says its not mounted
[20:47] <blackdemon> and "eject" don't work?
[20:47] <deany> ive had a drive do that before... no amount of umounts and ejects made a difference.. just had to power down
[20:47] <tmehlhorn> Sorry guys but i really need some help hear :) I cant install ubuntu- graphics are fine on splash screen and through the gui showing the components being installed. then i comes up with an orange and black blurry screen looks like a backgammon board. cant see or do anything.

[20:50] <Barnicle> anyone here use SAMBA and have successfully gotten it to autheticate against active directory?
[20:50] <LordZack> I am having problems when im trying to install ubuntu but when i put the disk in and boot from it after I select my timezone it turns blue and then skips and goes straight to a boot up of the live disk. Anyone know whats wrong?
[20:51] <Barnicle> any samba users here?
[20:51] <FernandoLB> Hello. How do we call that boot scren, before GD
[20:51] <FernandoLB> GDM*
[20:51] <tmehlhorn> I cant install ubuntu- graphics are fine on splash screen and through the gui showing the components being installed. then i comes up with an orange and black blurry screen looks like a backgammon board. cant see or do anything. Running ati hd video card, amd athlon 64  and 3 gig ram
[20:51] <sebsebseb> !samba |  Barnicle
[20:51] <austin> Has anyone gotten audacity to function correctly?
[20:51] <Barnicle> I just have a question about authetication, would you be able to answer it sebsebseb?
[20:51] <stevr1it> hello under /media/ in my pc I have a disk mounted, that i use like backup. When i start a backup it fills up the root directory and partition. How can i avoid it?
[20:52] <austin> Has anyone gotten audacity to work right
[20:52] <LordZack> FernandoLB are you talking t me?
[20:52] <Barnicle> sebsebseb: I have successfully authenticated against Active Directory when mapping to my samba share. My only issue is that it is initially prompting me for a password. Shouldn't samba recognize me from already logging into my domain when logging into windows? Why is it prompting me?
[20:52] <ActiveFrost> austin: I'm used it for a while .. what's not working ?
[20:52] <ActiveFrost> *I've not I'm :P
[20:52] <Phil_Ewert_> hi together, when I put my ubuntu in hibernation, it shows the small window in the middle asking for a password to re-enter. But mouse and keybord are not working and the machine is still running. How can I get that right ?
[20:53] <austin> ActiveFrost: Well, the recording and playback pretty much..  I can hear sound from my speakers, and i can hear my Mic from my speakers
[20:53] <FernandoLB> LordZack: I'm talking about the part that shows up while the system is loading.
[20:53] <m1dlg> USB keyboard in hybonation or sleep mode still?
[20:53] <sebsebseb> Barnicle: in my personal opinion anyone that uses  Windows  Server, as a server is a fool,  Linux  and Unix servers for the win :)   well  even Linux users hang out in #windows where you could also get help I expect
[20:54] <ActiveFrost> austin: play around with it's options and sound settings - sometimes it's buggy ( that's why I switched to Amarok ).
[20:54] <Barnicle> ok, i will ask there thanks
[20:54] <LordZack> oh I press F11 while it boots up. It loads the CD then i pressed "install ubuntu" option
[20:54] <austin> ActiveFrost: Amarok does sound edditing?
[20:55] <austin> ActiveFrost: And i've done all the options..to no avail
[20:55] <orudie> i would swtich to ubuntu desktop if i didnt play games
[20:55] <sebsebseb> Barnicle: there's also #networking and #linux a more general Linux channel
[20:55] <ActiveFrost> austin: hm, I don't think so .. thus, it's easy to use and the best opt is that I can minimize it to tray :)
[20:55] <orudie> too bad ubuntu doesnt support windows games
[20:55] <TechHead_> run wine mate
[20:55] <TechHead_> wine even runs WoW ;D
[20:55] <austin> ActiveFrost: <.> but i need sound editing
[20:55] <sebsebseb> orudie: depends on the game, but can get a lot working
[20:55] <ActiveFrost> orudie: who said that ?
[20:55] <Burntresistor> im trying to change my splash screen the file i downloaded is a .so file  do i need to open it if so what with
[20:55] <Phil_Ewert_> anybody ?
[20:55] <tmehlhorn> thanks for nuttin guys
[20:56] <orudie> i tried running games in wine, its really lame
[20:56] <orudie> tmehlhorn, bye
[20:56] <ActiveFrost> orudie: but you can run them :P
[20:56] <lasivian> how can I remove a package update and go back to the previous version?
[20:56] <TechHead_> world of warcraft runs okay
[20:56] <m1dlg> theres crossover for games
[20:56] <TechHead_> idd
[20:56] <Hassanakevazir> what IRC client is everyone using that does "<username>:" instead of" <username>," when using Tab
[20:56] <LordZack> FernandoLB: I press F11 while it boots up. It loads the CD then i pressed "install ubuntu" option
[20:56] <deany> i was once at a company that had a windows server setup, with a few "mcse`s" , then one day the boss had the idea of using SCO for email server to save on license... watching these fools tryin to install it was a joy ive not felt since
[20:57] <sebsebseb> orudie: well  Linx distros were never meant to be a replacement for  Windows, they are  meant to be a replacement for Unix.  Unix  has been around longer than Windows
[20:57] <austin> ActiveFrost: I'm on aMsn right now, and i can't send voice clips eaher.   can you help me with my mic?
[20:57] <austin> ActiveFrost:  An error occured when trying to record the sound : Could not gain access to /dev/dsp for writing.
[20:57] <sebsebseb> orudie: and as some people would say,  use  apps that are made for the platform they were made for.  ,but yes you can try wine  and for  2d games even a windows virtual machine inside Ubuntu
[20:57] <mib_209u07s4> hey guys i messed up a lil and need to recover a partition on my harddrive any software you would suggest
[20:57] <orudie> sebsebseb, thanx for info, but i took history of computing class back in college
[20:57] <sebsebseb> orudie: I meant above, some people would say to use the platform apps were made for
[20:58] <bretcolin> hi
[20:58] <sebsebseb> orudie: Microsoft even pay game developers to make for Directx,  even though OpenGL is really better
[20:58] <sebsebseb> orudie: Microsoft need to lock people such as yourself in on the games
[20:58] <j5098> if i want to mount my ntfs partition upon login (mkdir then mount), how can i do that?
[20:58] <TechHead_> btw orudie, there are games like good old Enemy Territory that run MUCH better in Linux ;D
[20:58] <sebsebseb> orudie: or Windows would be going bye bye a lot more on consumer desktops
[20:58] <kitche> !offtopic
[20:58] <LordZack> 	I am having problems when im trying to install ubuntu but when i put the disk in and boot from it after I select my timezone it turns blue and then skips and goes straight to a boot up of the live disk. Anyone know whats wrong?
[20:58] <ActiveFrost> austin:  ::snack::audio selectInput /dev/dsp
[20:58] <lasivian> firefox 3.0.8 is running slow as crfap for me and I don;t know how to go back to the previous version :(
[20:58] <sebsebseb> orudie: how about a games console instead of Windows for games?  and  trying out  native Linux games?
[20:59] <blackdemon> j5098: if you have the ntfs-3g driver you can mount it like any onther drive
[20:59] <orudie> I hate consoles
[20:59] <Pici> !ot
[20:59] <Hassanakevazir> sebsebseb, no they don't, DirectX simply has a better API for making games on a budget. Not everyone is carmack
[20:59] <orudie> except for the early once like nintendo 1
[20:59] <bretcolin> for people having trouble with nvidia cards look at this
[20:59] <bretcolin> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7034413#post7034413
[20:59] <sebsebseb> orudie: ok well I hate how most games are made for Windows :)   you can always dual boot for your 3D Windows games, and use Ubuntu for real computing
[21:00] <austin> ActiveFrost:  I'm in audio....and i chose my input device and same error
[21:00] <j5098> blackdemon, yeah, i know how to do it manually (and nautilus does it automatically too) but not until i click "88.4gb media".  i want to do this at startup though
[21:00] <TechHead_> btw, has anyone here also strange input lags in games like I do ?
[21:00] <ActiveFrost> austin: also, be sure that you've installed libsnack2
[21:00] <orudie> sebsebseb, yeah i was thinking about that since my desktop has 8 gb ram now
[21:00] <ActiveFrost> austin: are you running amsn ?
[21:00] <sebsebseb> orudie: and for 2D games you can also try a Windows virtual machine inside Ubuntu
[21:00] <austin> ActiveFrost:  Yes, I am.  and libsnack2 is installed
[21:01] <orudie> what 2d games lol? i only play one strategy game - Company of Heroes
[21:01] <sebsebseb> orudie: it's  3D Windows games where Wine and such and virtual machines,  won't be any good.   altough some 3D Windows games will even work in Wine
[21:01] <orudie> which is actually stopping me from converting to ubuntu
[21:01] <lasivian> how can I remove a package upgrade?
[21:01] <sebsebseb> orudie: dual boot then
[21:01] <deany> i cant imagine runnin a game in a VM. i need all the fps i can get..
[21:02] <orudie> yeah i tried counter strike source in wine, it was really bad
[21:02] <ActiveFrost> austin: tried to enable/disable alsa ?
[21:02] <wahnfrieden> hi
[21:02] <geboy> how can i set automount for ntfs partition in my hardrives
[21:02] <sebsebseb> wahnfrieden: hi
[21:02] <orudie> i agree it does work, but barely playable
[21:02] <austin> ActiveFrost:  whats the command to enable/disable
[21:02] <wahnfrieden> how can I install Python 2.6 in Xubuntu intrepid?
[21:02] <geboy> !ntfs
[21:02] <deany> id rather reboot into windows for 100% performance, its not like it`d kill me to boot into windows.
[21:03] <wahnfrieden> it doesn't look like a simple process
[21:03] <sebsebseb> deany: indeed
[21:03] <orudie> sebsebseb, can i pm you ?
[21:03] <sebsebseb> orudie: yeah
[21:03] <ActiveFrost> austin: --enable-alsa and --disable-alsa
[21:03] <geboy> !automount
[21:04] <geboy> can i make ubuntu automaticaly mount all the ntfs partition in my system everytime it reboots?
[21:04] <austin> ActiveFrost:  command not found.  and yes, alsa is installed
[21:04] <LordZack> 	I am having problems when im trying to install ubuntu but when i put the disk in and boot from it after I select my timezone it turns blue and then skips and goes straight to a boot up of the live disk. Anyone know whats wrong?
[21:04] <lasivian> how do I remove a package that was upgraded if the3 upgrade breaks something?
[21:04] <lasivian> just apt-get remove and install the older version?
[21:05] <jean-baptiste> salut
[21:06] <jean-baptiste> #ubuntu-fr-jeux.
[21:06] <ActiveFrost> austin: in that case - I've no idea why it's not working ..
[21:06] <geboy> someboody?
[21:06] <m1dlg> If I want to (re)create a group called 'disk' is there a specific group ID I must use? or is it a unique number I can pick anything and it will just work OK?

[21:08] <kephu> Hi, not sure if this is the right place, but I have a question about Wine - is there a way to make buttons (and any standard controls) less ugly than they are?
[21:08] <coz_> jean-claude__, salut  quel est le probleme?  mon francais n'est pas bon
[21:08] <Knirgh> i have some problems with VirtualBox, it says vboxdrv is not running, and when i try to start it it fails

[21:09] <kephu> for instance, make them more consistent with how the rest of my ubuntu looks?
[21:09] <deany> careful tho, ive found some apps to run really slowly afterwards..
[21:09] <deany> yes, odd, i know.....
[21:09] <eqisow> kephu: You can add themes in wincfg, but that pretty much only let's you change the colors
[21:09] <eqisow> kephu: better than nothing, though
[21:10] <kephu> I guess

[21:11] <geboy> oCean_: what about mounting a windows share automatically?
[21:11] <m1dlg> If I want to (re)create a group called 'disk' is there a specific group ID I must use? or is it a unique number I can pick anything and it will just work OK? AND will it be instant or will I need to reboot for permitions to be altered
[21:11] <eseven73> !repeat | m1dlg
[21:12] <DarKnesS_WolF> anyone tried to ssh to a system user like tomcat6 with RSA and did it ?
[21:12] <blackdemon> m1dlg: you have to chose a number that is not used by another group ...
[21:12] <m1dlg> I ALTHERED my request
[21:12] <oCean_> geboy: That can be in the /etc/fstab file too
[21:12] <m1dlg> OK, Thanks
[21:12] <kephu> deany, how much "slower" are we talking about?
[21:12] <eseven73> it's ALTERED and OK thanks for SHOUTING ;)
[21:12] <deany> like some app was wating 99% cpu... try it, might have just been me, and that version of wine..
[21:13] <deany> can always just remove it later.
[21:13] <deany> kephu, bearing in mind i use beta`s
[21:14] <temp01> this page http://grub4dos.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Grub4dos_tutorial says to boot grub4dos from vista/7 boot loader, you need grldr.mbr
[21:14] <temp01> where can i get grldr.mbr ?
[21:14] <french> hey can someone point me in the direction for wireless?
[21:15] <fosco_> !wifi | french
[21:15] <french> how do i know fi i have hardy, fiesty, or gusty?
[21:16] <oCean_> french: tye "lsb_release -a" in terminal

[21:16] <lasivian> in Processes Firefox shows to be using 1% CPU, but looking at resources usage has jumped 60% since I started it, what gives?
[21:16] <bytor4232> lasivian: Probably flash content, it is very cpu intensive.

[21:19] <Tofflos> What's new in the nvidia driver that recently got updated?
[21:21] <eseven73> Tofflos, 180 I believe, at least thats what got updated on mine like 2 days ago
[21:21] <TechHead_> load -e quakenet.py
[21:21] <TechHead_> lol
[21:21] <TechHead_> fgs
[21:21] <bretcolin> are you playing quake
[21:21] <TechHead_> lol, no only Enemy Territory
[21:22] <bretcolin> cool
[21:22] <Tofflos> eseven73: It seems to render my close,, minimize/maximize buttons a lot better now. I'm just curious to what else has been improved.
[21:22] <TechHead_> actually I wanted to load a script that auto authes me with Q
[21:22] <oCean_> TechHead_: bretcolin This channel is for ubuntu support only, stay on topic
[21:22] <TechHead_> as I said, I wanted to load a script and made a typo
[21:23] <TechHead_> talking about support
[21:23] <bretcolin> anyone having trouble with nvidia on ubuntu intrepid
[21:23] <TechHead_> why do I have massive input lag  in games such as ET ?
[21:24] <deany> TechHead, the joys of having an ATI card and vsync enabled
[21:24] <bretcolin> et is a windows game and the server should probably be faster on wine
[21:24] <TechHead_> no I got the Linux client
[21:24] <lasivian> why would system monitor show 2 cpus when I only have one?
[21:25] <vikrant> u may have two cores
[21:25] <graingert> lasivian-> you have a dual core box
[21:25] <vikrant> dual core cpu
[21:25] <TechHead_> it seems that if I move the mouse too fast and press multiple buttons on the keyboard inputs simply stall
[21:25] <lasivian> I have an Acer Aspire One
[21:25] <sysdoc> !jackd
[21:25] <lasivian> which I do not believe is dual core
[21:25] <sysdoc> rrrh
[21:25] <deany> HT
[21:25] <deany> oh
[21:26] <TechHead_> noone else playing a game now and then experiencin this glitch?
[21:26] <Im_Toast> Hey, I was using the terminal, and I accadentally put a ` in and hit enter, then the terminal just showed '>' does anyone know what that is for?
[21:26] <jrib> Im_Toast: hit ctrl-c
[21:26] <bretcolin> if your in a game with a dial up user that will cause lag
[21:26] <Im_Toast> jrib: I was just wondering what it's used for
[21:26] <gilger> DCC SEND startkeylogger 0 0 0
[21:27] <erUSUL> Im_Toast: is the secondary promt for multiline commands
[21:27] <TechHead_> hehe, nono, i t runs okay in Windows
[21:27] <Im_Toast> Ah, ok, thanks
[21:27] <jrib> Im_Toast: `foo` is like $(foo).  The shell replaces `foo` with the output of the command "foo"
[21:27] <TechHead_> I simply prefer Linux because it runs better , as in faster
[21:27] <deany> TechHead, its vsync
[21:27] <TechHead_> not either
[21:27] <bretcolin> i agree im using jaunty
[21:27] <TechHead_> it feels like I flood input queue somehow
[21:27] <grkblood13> is there a way to convert a pal iso to ntsc?

[21:57] <wahnfrieden> magnetron
[21:57] <blackdemon> the parameters have a functions ;)
[21:57] <wahnfrieden> magentar..
[21:57] <wahnfrieden> of course
[21:57] <wahnfrieden> but for such a common operation
[21:57] <FloodBot3> wahnfrieden: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:57] <KoFish> wahnfrieden: control vs. prettiness
[21:57] <lasivian> Hassanakevazir: thanks
[21:58] <magentar> because if you use tar without arguments it reads from stdin, with no compression and no verbose output
[21:58] <KoFish> wahnfrieden: thats what god invented scripts for
[21:58] <year1> anyone know how i can get a music macker program for my linex

[21:59] <KoFish> venelino: it works if you run something like windows virtualized... but not in native linux
[21:59] <wahnfrieden> magentar?
[21:59] <calwig> mm
[21:59] <wahnfrieden> it's in a VM
[21:59] <wahnfrieden> which is why it's slow
[21:59] <magentar> yes, did you install the vm's video drivers etc.?
[22:00] <year1> windows virtualized whats that more advice on that pls
[22:00] <magentar> (guest additions if you're using virtualbox)
[22:00] <venelino> that is shit
[22:00] <wahnfrieden> ah
[22:00] <venelino> i want a completely booted not virtualized, it gona be slow

[22:23] <digitalexploit> ReadMushroom, open a terminal and type sudo ps -aux | grep x
[22:23] <Mark_Jones> Or is that app depedent question?
[22:23] <maddprof> are there any "hardcore gamers" and/or people who do a lot of CAD work (think pro/engineer and solidworks) here that I can pick their brains about their experience using both while in the linux (and WINE) environment?
[22:23] <psychic> how can i repair my toolbar so it displays the applications menu
[22:24] <Shish_> i checked my sound properties, and it seems that everything is set allright, and the drivers properly installed, yet no sound coming out at all
[22:24] <Ferrenrock> Hi, I was wondering where I would find the configuration for special keys such as the volume wheel in ubuntu
[22:24] <RedMushroom> digitalexploit: that didn't do it. when i press ctrl+alt+f7 a gui still comes up
[22:24] <psychic> shish try installing updates
[22:25] <Ferrenrock> it appears that the volume wheeel on my laptop works in ubuntu but not another distro, and I wanted to copy whatever relavent files that were needed
[22:25] <Hassanakevazir> Shish_, try system preferences > Sound. change playback options to various stuff and press the test button
[22:25] <Shish_> psychic just finished installing all updates...
[22:25] <Ferrenrock> can anyone help?
[22:25] <digitalexploit> RedMushroom GDM is running sounds like, are you trying to run X manually without GDM?
[22:25] <mike909> anyone here familiar with wget?
[22:26] <RedMushroom> digitalexploit: i'm just trying to kill it so i can see about doing some troubleshooting to fix this "low-graphics mode" bs that i've been dealing with
[22:26] <botux> is there a firewall installed by default that could be keeping my windows machine from having connectivity with my ubuntu box
[22:26] <mike909> redmush: /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[22:26] <RedMushroom> i think i'm having some sort of weird driver issue
[22:26] <psychic> im probably just as basic to ubuntu as u sorry thats all i could think of  i know that little tech problems are to be expected on new installs its a confuration issue
[22:26] <Titan8990> botux, netfilter but by default it doesn't block anything
[22:26] <digitalexploit> RedMushroom, then you need to stop the GDM service. You can do this with sudo or root in a terminal/shell by "/etc/init.d/gdm stop"
[22:26] <Titan8990> !netfilter | botux
[22:26] <Titan8990> !iptables | botux
[22:26] <RedMushroom> mike909: did that, and i still get the GUI when i use ctrl+alt+f7
[22:27] <ran> !language
[22:27] <RedMushroom> digitalexploit: i've tried that, it doesnt do it
[22:27] <digitalexploit> redmushroom how about "service gdm stop" ?
[22:27] <botux> Titan8990: do you know anyhting abput samba
[22:27] <RedMushroom> digitalexploit: what's the command for that?
[22:27] <Titan8990> botux, not really, I don't use windows
[22:27] <botux> ok
[22:28] <digitalexploit> redmushroom, have you tried to kill GDM manually by "ps -aux | grep gdm" then use the kill command kill -KILL <id>
[22:28] <Hassanakevazir> Ferrenrock, take a look at your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, under the input device
[22:28] <Kattollikisd> everytime I logout on ubuntu 8.10, I do not hear the logout sound that soppost to do the system, someone here can tell me how to enable it?

[22:37] <botux> icant see my windows files from my ubuntu machine. can some one assist?
[22:37] <Jeruvy> mike12: its not called wpost ;0
[22:37] <ethana2> ah, --install-recommends
[22:37] <lasivian> jrib: It hasn't been assigned one yet, but #firefox confirmed there is a problem
[22:37] <zleap> botux, have you mounted the windows partition
[22:37] <L3dPlatedLinux> ok I dont know if I did it the right way or anything but what i did was to make a mount.sh "sudo mount i.p:/path/here/ ~/mount" worked the first time but now I get trouble creating child process any ideas?
[22:37] <blackdemon> botux: did you mount your windows partition ?
[22:37] <lasivian> jrib: And the speed change was astronomical and immediate
[22:38] <quint> hey does anyone know how i can set up an irc server from my comp running windows?
[22:38] <dassouki> i have a vista/8.04 partiton, when i upgraded to 8.10 i get a kernel sync error, i tried to go in the old kernels, my keyboard and moue don't work
[22:38] <nickbuntu> Is there any reason the live cd works better with wifi than when's it's installed?
[22:38] <ethana2> erm, --install-recommends doesn't appear to be working either
[22:38] <onsu> alo all
[22:38] <Jeruvy> nickbuntu: see bugs, it should improve with jaunty
[22:38] <zleap> why would u want to run a irc server on windows,  anyway there is software around that will do it as in windows versions of the irc server software
[22:38] <jrib> lasivian: you should file one then.  apt-get install PACKAGE=VERSION lets you install a different version in the repos, otherwise use dpkg to install an old deb directly.  Be warned though, firefox updates usually contain important security updates

[22:44] <mah_boi> can anyone tell me why i can't get  libgtk2.0-dev?

[22:44] <mah_boi> done that
[22:44] <mah_boi> ok
[22:44] <jrib> mah_boi: well I don't the url to your pastebin...
[22:44] <ethana2> they are not installed
[22:45] <jrib> ethana2: what is "install"?
[22:45] <ethana2> 'sudo apt-get install'
[22:45] <ethana2> sane bash alias
[22:45] <ethana2> I may be a colemak typist, but I still don't see the point in wasting my time when typing
[22:45] <jove> hi all: does anyone experience with DIA (drawing) ?
[22:45] <jrib> ethana2: same behavior if you use sudo apt-get --install-recommends install kubuntu-desktop?
[22:45] <mah_boi> http://pastebin.com/m6e77e835
[22:45] <ethana2> I should think so, I'll try now
[22:46] <nickbuntu> Is there any way of reverting a distribution upgrade?
[22:46] <jrib> mah_boi: usually, the next question is: have you modified your sources.list or installed any packages manually?
[22:46] <ethana2> correct.
[22:46] <jrib> nickbuntu: no
[22:46] <nickbuntu> okay. thanks
[22:46] <jrib> ethana2: try aptitude for kicks
[22:46] <mah_boi> no.
[22:46] <mah_boi> i don't think so.
[22:46] <ethana2> jrib: k
[22:46] <jrib> mah_boi: I don't understand.  You either did or didn't
[22:46] <Ferrenrock> quick lazy question: which openbox file sets single-key commands?
[22:47] <jove>  does anyone experience with DIA (drawing) ?
[22:47] <mah_boi> i am running ultimate edition which came with a modified sources.list so i tried to get it back to default
[22:47] <Ferrenrock> jove: apparently not
[22:47] <ethana2> jrib: with aptitude, I don't even know what I'm looking at..
[22:48] <Ferrenrock> mah_boi: you're running Arch Linux Ultimate Edition? wtf?
[22:48] <ethana2> I don't see the reccomendations anywhere
[22:48] <mah_boi> no ubuntu ultimate edition 2.1
[22:48] <ethana2> aptitude also does not take the --install-recommends parameter
[22:48] <timedroid> Wasn't there some command to generate a xorg.conf?
[22:48] <nickbuntu> one last question; when I ping www.google.com from ubunti i get back messages saying "from (ipaddress) icmp_seq=1++ Packet Filtered". What does the packet filtered part mean?
[22:48] <Ferrenrock> mah_boi: does that come with macafee and a bunch of crappy pinball games?
[22:48] <grkblood13> hey guys, i tried creaging a torrent using transmission and when i try to add it it says "invalid passkey"
[22:48] <timedroid> Does Ubuntu even respect that? It didn't seem to for DPI
[22:49] <jrib> ethana2: --with-recmmends or something
[22:49] <Ferrenrock> timedroid: the xorg.conf command is Xorg -configure to make a new one
[22:49]  * ethana2 tries that
[22:49] <Ferrenrock> IIRC
[22:49] <dwxreaper> NCommander: it means an icmp administratively prohibited message was sent back
[22:49] <mah_boi> no Ferrenrock
[22:49] <blackdemon> nickbuntu, that you send a packet but get nothing back, normaly of the hosts dousn't exists you receive an RST package ...
[22:49] <dwxreaper> nick, someone dropped your packet
[22:49] <Ferrenrock> mah_boi: no to what?
[22:49] <mah_boi> no to it dosen't
[22:50] <Ferrenrock> mah_boi: ubuntu or xorg or what are we talking about?
[22:50] <ethana2> jrib: still nothin'
[22:50] <jrib> !ultimate | mah_boi
[22:50] <nickbuntu> ok. cool. I wasn't familiar with how it was displaying stuff.
[22:50] <jrib> ethana2: don't know then
[22:50] <mah_boi> oh well
[22:50] <ethana2> jrib: bug?
[22:50] <timedroid> Ubuntu/Gnome/etc really needs some way to set "preferences" on a system level. Is there any push to do that?

[22:52] <TechHead> deany: tried the vsync option, did not help
[22:52] <jrib> temoto: probably better to try the upstart channel
[22:52] <temoto> jrib: ye, i'm trying there too.
[22:53] <temoto> Though 1415 users seem more likely to respond than 21.
[22:53] <t_> hey everyone :D
[22:53] <thatguy_> how do we access the scripts or w.e that make up a program so i can tweak it?
[22:53] <Krine11> Hello i have a question
[22:53] <Krine11> Is there programs that can help me make my computer run a bit faster
[22:53] <zleap> botux you there
[22:53] <Krine11> like for windows there is ccleaner for ubuntu are there tools for this?
[22:53] <temoto> thatguy_: it depends which program you trying to tweak.
[22:54] <botux> zleap: yup
[22:54] <zleap> ok
[22:54] <TechHead> Krine11: you are using Linux instead if Windows, this should make your comp faster right away ;)
[22:54] <zleap> i will try and help in here, and see if others can advise further
[22:54] <zleap> on so you have ubuntu and windows
[22:54] <zleap> what version of windows
[22:54] <thatguy_> how so?
[22:54] <botux> vist ultimate
[22:54] <zleap> ok
[22:54] <botux> ive been told im brave lol
[22:54] <moshisushi> hello i have a problem with alsa... audio works in most programs (using ALSA), but some say "device unavailable" and especially  aplay -D hw:0 gives output "aplay: main:546: audio open error: Device or resource busy"
[22:54] <zleap> would it be easier to have printer attached to GNU/Linux box
[22:55] <zleap> then set that up as the server, and connect the windows box to it
[22:55] <moshisushi> i have tried to reboot and also run /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset
[22:55] <botux> i havent tried that
[22:55] <zleap> ok
[22:55] <t_> where are the startup log files?  my ubunut os stops booting (with a flashing caps lock key) very frequently. once i get it booted up it's fine.  i disabled the graphical boot screen, but i don't see any errors when it locks up. i'm assuming there is a log file somewhere i can look at.
[22:55] <zleap> what printer do you have
[22:55] <t_> any ideas?
[22:56] <temoto> Krine11: sudo apt-get autoclean  is probably last thing that is kinda cleanable in ubuntu. The other problem of slow is that you're out of space for / partition. In any other case linux box must work equally fast/slow for years w/o some kind of cleaning.
[22:56] <temoto> Krine11: oh and i forgot disk fragmentation. This is rare case too.

[22:57] <sebsebseb> ethana2: for?
[22:57] <ethana2> sebsebseb: for kubuntu-desktop
[22:57] <zleap> so you need to perhaps point cups on GNU/Linux at the ip of the windows box then i  guess
[22:58] <sebsebseb> ethana2: look in Synaptic for KDE apps?
[22:58] <botux> sure
[22:58] <ethana2> sebsebseb: nevermind

[23:05] <t_> zleap, there's probably a vista channel somewhere, no? i'd help you but all my winder's os'es are xp pro
[23:05] <temp01> is there a something like grub4dos for GFX Grub?
[23:05] <zleap> ok
[23:05] <botux> lol
[23:05] <zleap> i thought it would be easier to attach the printer to the GNU/Linux box and use samba
[23:05] <zleap> botux,  how many pc's are in the network
[23:06] <t_> zleap, that's a totally different question.
[23:06] <botux> it rolly would be zleap but my wife would clip my ears she uses the vista box and wouldnt wanna walk to the bedroom to pick up  a documnet lol
[23:06] <botux> zleap: 2
[23:06] <zleap> ok
[23:06] <botux> zleap: and my ps3
[23:06] <zleap> ok
[23:06] <zleap> erm, so do you need file sharing and printing from ps3
[23:06] <temp01> anyone? :|
[23:07] <botux> nope
[23:07] <res22> Hassanakevazir: I can't find the option, I think it exists though
[23:07] <redbrownie> i'm a new ubuntu user... i've installed a g++ compiler using synaptic, but the program doesn't show up anywhere... any suggestions?
[23:08] <judu> you have to use it in command line
[23:08] <botux> zleap: ps3 isnt o all the tim either so its not a factor
[23:08] <t_> don't want to bug you all but i'm lost:  my /var/log/boot file is basically empty. do i have to enable logging somewhere? i need to troubleshoot why iot locks up all the time. thanks  in advance :)
[23:08] <zleap> ok
[23:08] <twois10>  is kde4 usable now or is kde3 still king?
[23:08] <redbrownie> i have to use g++ in the command line?
[23:09] <BL4ckListed> redbrownie, gcc <input.c>
[23:09] <sebsebseb> twois10: KDE3 isan't even in the repo for 8.10 and 9.04.  it is in 8.04.   just like KDE4 is in the three
[23:09] <redbrownie> thanks
[23:09] <redbrownie> is there a program like dev-c++ for ubuntu?
[23:09] <sebsebseb> twois10: KDE3 I prefer to KDE4 as GUI, but some of the apps got much better in KDE4, and I use those in Gnome anyway
[23:09] <BL4ckListed> yes
[23:09] <t_> nevermind, found the instructions here to enable boot logging: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=49925
[23:09] <sebsebseb> redbrownie: yeah I think  dev-c++  works on Ubuntu
[23:10] <Pollywog> when I login, my ssh passphrase is automatically added to the agent.  How do I stop this?
[23:10] <twois10> sebsebseb, i see
[23:10] <Mark_Jones> Does anyone here know if Ubuntu has advantages when run on 64bit version and 64bit CPU? And also does Ubuntu run anything utilizing 2 or more CPU cores?
[23:10] <ohcrap524> Has anyone else had problems with the "lock Screen" option?  if i leave it for too long, when i come back and login, it shows No GUI, it shows the wallpaper, but does not respond to any input, including Ctrl + Alt + Backspace
[23:10] <sebsebseb> twois10: sadly they have stopped developing KDE3 after all these years
[23:10] <navpem> hmm.. I'm trying to "cat" many files (to combine them into one).  The problem is that the beginning line of a txt file is printed after the last line in the previous file in the same sentence.  I guess I'd like a line-feed at the end of every file.  Any help?
[23:10] <redbrownie> okay... i thought dev-c++ only was for windows... i'll look at the website
[23:10] <sebsebseb> twois10: ,but yes KDE3 is rather stable now
[23:10] <Pollywog> I have tried Passwords and Encryption menu in administration but I am unable to stop this awful behavior
[23:11] <sebsebseb> twois10: KDE4 is I really don't like it,  except some of those apps
[23:11] <Hassanakevazir> res22, thanks for the try, maybe I just write a small script lol, can't be bothered with that long manual
[23:11] <Pollywog> I never purposely set it up this way
[23:11] <zleap> i am not a samba expert,  but it should be possible i will see what i can figure out
[23:11] <BL4ckListed> Mark_Jones, 32bit has more packages.
[23:11] <Mark_Jones> ok
[23:11] <botux> ok
[23:11] <BL4ckListed> Mark_Jones, i would go with 32bit
[23:11] <Mark_Jones> I didnt realize that. thats good to keep in mind.
[23:11] <botux> i need samba for dummies lol
[23:12] <sebsebseb> !samba |  botux
[23:12] <mib_44rswv> hi how do i set my user to log on automatically?
[23:12] <Mark_Jones> ok Do you know how usage goes with multicores? Does it utilize them at all?
[23:12] <magentar> Mark_Jones, it's reasonable to use 64bit editions if you have more than 3gb of ram
[23:12] <Mark_Jones> I see
[23:12] <sebsebseb> mib_44rswv: why?
[23:12] <twois10> sebsebseb, i will continue to do kde4, i was about to add kd3 but i will hold on. this is a new install
[23:12] <botux> sebsebseb: i read those yesterday its like a second language to me im confused
[23:12] <benjamin__> for some reason when I try to use my graphics card driver so that I can use the TV out, ubuntu has a problem detectng my video card
[23:12] <sebsebseb> twois10: of which Ubuntu?
[23:12] <benjamin__> and the picture is emssed up
[23:12] <Mark_Jones> IMO 3GB in Linux is overkill
[23:12] <mib_44rswv> sebsebseb: because it's annoying to have to logon
[23:13] <twois10> sebsebseb, i am actually a suse user
[23:13] <magentar> Mark_Jones, 32bit and 64bit editions will make use of multi core processors nearly equall well
[23:13] <magcius> Gah... why is gnome-panel frozen?
[23:13] <twois10> the shoot me
[23:13] <Mark_Jones> cool
[23:13] <twois10> i meant to say dont shoot me
[23:13] <benjamin__> I then run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[23:13] <benjamin__> it resets to default generic card
[23:13] <benjamin__> any ideas?
[23:13] <Mark_Jones> Is it ok if I post a mobo and cpu combo Im concidering to buy so that maybe someone can say if itll work or not? That ok to do here?
[23:13] <t_> Mark_Jones, there is a "bigmem" patch. (is it a patch?) that allows 32bit linux to address more memory, but from what i hear your mileage may vary
[23:13] <Hassanakevazir> benjamin__, what graphic card are you using
[23:14] <magcius> twois10, why are you in #ubuntu if you are using SuSE?
[23:14] <mib_44rswv> hi how do i set my user to log on automatically?
[23:14] <ohcrap524> Has anyone else had problems with the "lock Screen" option?  if i leave it for too long, when i come back and login, it shows No GUI, it shows the wallpaper, but does not respond to any input, including Ctrl + Alt + Backspace :(
[23:14] <twois10> magcius, because we are cousins
[23:15] <t_> ohcrap524, i had the same issues with 8.04 until i upgraded to intrepid
[23:15] <benjamin__> hassankevazir I am using a Mobile Intel 945GM Express chipset with integrated 3D graphics
[23:15] <Mark_Jones> http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4443927&csid=ITD&body=MAIN#detailspecs Can anyone say if this will work with Ubuntu as far as the sound and video are concerned at minimum?
[23:15] <t_> then the intrepid upgrade seems to magically fix it.
[23:16] <t_> later everyone, i'm outta here.
[23:16] <zleap> botux, i will see what instructions i can find
[23:16] <ohcrap524> t_, yeah, i upgraded to intrepid within a few hours of getting system (preinstalled dell ubuntu system) came with hardy heron
[23:16] <BL4ckListed> Mark_Jones, i wouldnt worry about CPU and mobo.  I would research more on gfx cards and wireless cards.
[23:16] <Mark_Jones> ok
[23:16] <macman_> i want to image one system to another .. 1st system is fat32 and the second is ntfs .. can i use partimage to make an image of the fat drive and then extract the image onto the new ntfs machine ?
[23:16] <mib_44rswv> my monitor won't turn on after I wake my computer after I put it in suspend mode. anyone have any ideas?
[23:17] <Mark_Jones> Well that board has onboard sound and video. So thats why I am asking.
[23:17] <benjamin__> hassankevazir the thing is my xorg file is not showing that
[23:17] <BL4ckListed> Mark_Jones, ah right
[23:17] <Mark_Jones> GeForce 8300
[23:17] <ohcrap524> does anyone know what package or files manage the "Lock Screen" option?
[23:17] <benjamin__> it is showing Identifier "configured video device"
[23:18] <grinn> I just got a bunch of updates and now I'm having problems with my sounds and wireless
[23:18] <crdlb> ohcrap524: gnome-screensaver ?
[23:18] <ohcrap524> crdlb, really?
[23:19] <ohcrap524> cddlb: you think reinstalling that package would help?
[23:19] <ohcrap524> crdlb*
[23:20] <magcius> gnome-panel freezes when I right-click Properties on either a Launcher or the panel itself.
[23:20] <nic_> Hi
[23:20] <Hassanakevazir> benjamin__, I don't know anything about those, try this page http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_6.06.1_on_a_ThinkPad_R60e
[23:20] <magcius> It only happens when I have a panel on the right side.
[23:20] <grinn> i have an aspireone with ubuntu and i'm trying to figure out why my sound and wireless stopped workimg
[23:20] <grinn> working*
[23:20] <crdlb> ohcrap524: hmm, it looks like something is freezing, and it's probably not gnome-screensaver :/
[23:21] <jimdb> how do i, from a windows box, create files/folders, with permissions that any account on the linux box can alter in any way.
[23:21] <Krine11> How come when i load my computer i recive a error!!!!!
[23:21] <Krine11> how come?
[23:21] <benjamin__> but I am running an acer :)
[23:21] <riegersn> im trying to fix my mother-in-law's old ubuntu laptop i set up a long time ago, no one remembers the password for their account. is there a way i could somehow get into a desktop ?
[23:21] <Hassanakevazir> the chipset is the same , do some googling with that name, you'll get a better result
[23:21] <ohcrap524> crdlb: any ideas? its kind of hard to reproduce results, i have to leave for at least an hour before it happens and becomes unresponsive
[23:21] <benjamin__> I ran the command # sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[23:21] <mib_44rswv> my monitor won't turn on after I wake my computer after I put it in suspend mode. anyone have any ideas?
[23:22] <benjamin__> it setup default valus
[23:22] <jimdb> riegersn:  there is a way and I read it on the web but I don't remember how nor where i read it from.
[23:22] <benjamin__> I tried to copy and paste the setup for xorg
[23:22] <benjamin__> so that it is custom to the intel
[23:22] <benjamin__> and it could not find my video card
[23:22] <jimdb> riegersn: i'd say search google for lost linux passwords
[23:22] <crdlb> ohcrap524: I have no ideas except to look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log(.old) after it locks up
[23:23] <Titan8990> riegersn, log in to recovery mode -> drop root shell -> type: passwd USERNAME
[23:23] <Titan8990> riegersn, and then fill in the new password
[23:24] <Titan8990> riegersn, or you can just add a new user account:  adduser USERNAME
[23:24] <jimdb> how do i, from a windows box, creating files on a linux server, create a file or folder with permissions which allow everyone to edit/alter/delete, etc?
[23:25] <benjamin__> brb trying soimething and I need to reboot
[23:26] <mib_44rswv> my monitor won't turn on after I wake my computer after I put it in suspend mode. anyone have any ideas?
[23:26] <cosita> hola
[23:28] <stealth-> jimdb: you can ssh into the linux machine through a windows program called "putty", from there, you can use the command line to create files and folders
[23:28] <jimdb> stealth:  i think you misunderstand
[23:29] <jimdb> stealth:  i'm using a windows box to create files/folders through samba on the linux box and it is creating the files and folders with inadequate persmissions to alter/delete them.
[23:29] <stealth-> jimdb: ah, okay.
[23:29] <ech0s7> hi
[23:29] <ech0s7> i'm looking for a video editing for gnome, i would make a video with some photos and a music in backgroung...what do you suggest me?
[23:30] <troal01> Hey is there any way to get imeem.com working with Linux and libflashplayer.so 10 64 bit?
[23:30] <stealth-> jimdb: this might be able to help you: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-set-permissions-to-samba-shares.html
[23:31] <stealth-> jimdb: im not sure if thats what your looking for, though, im not very familiar with samba
[23:31] <RobotCow> how can several pdfs be made into one?
[23:31] <RobotCow> concatenated
[23:32] <RobotCow> nevermind the cat command worked for that
[23:32] <stealth-> RobotCow: scribus is a program to import pdf's and export them. You might be able to push all the pdf's together in the program and export them as one
[23:33] <Krine11> rfgsdknmfdm;fm
[23:33] <stealth-> RobotCow: k
[23:33] <Krine11> HELLO!
[23:33] <Krine11> i asked a question
[23:33] <stealth-> !repeat | Krine11
[23:34] <ohcrap524> crdlb: thank you for the advice, ill definitely look at that the next time it locks up :)
[23:34] <wolter> Krine11, you have to be more specific also
[23:34] <RobotCow> stealth-, im checking to see if this worked: cat ch01.pdf ch02.pdf > test.pdf
[23:34] <Zeeded> really quick, what is the cmd for changing file permission to write? chmod something something?
[23:35] <wolter> Krine11, if I say here that I get an error, how will people know how to fix it, if they just know it is an error?
[23:35] <euxneks> chmod +w <file>
[23:35] <Huufarted> Zeeded: be advised, that will give EVERYBODY write permissions to a file
[23:35] <euxneks> Zeeded, chmod +w <file> also - man chmod
[23:35] <Zeeded>  +r is read-only?
[23:35] <euxneks> Zeeded, as Huufarted said, you need to make sure that you set the right permissions
[23:35] <Huufarted> correct Zeeded.
[23:36] <Zeeded> ok thank you
[23:36] <taner> isnt jboss in ubuntu repo ?
[23:36] <euxneks> Zeeded, +r adds read
[23:36] <Huufarted> Zeeded, permissions are as follows...
[23:36] <stealth-> RobotCow: i would think that wouldn't work because there might be headers and footers inside the pdf, but you can try
[23:36] <lasivian> this is beginning to annoy me.. I cannot install an old version (one version old mind you) of firefox
[23:36] <Krine11> the error i get when i boot my computer is cannot display this video mode optimum resolution 1280 x 1024 60 hz
[23:37] <botux> anyone know how to add skype to repositories so i can donwload it?
[23:37] <Huufarted> zeeded:  rwx rwx rwx.  That's for user, group, other.  r has a value of 4.  w has a value of 2.  x has a value of 1.  To give permissions to write only to the owner, you'd use something like this:  chmod 644 <filename.txt>
[23:37] <stealth-> botux: you can download skype from the website, nothing should interfear with it
[23:37] <Zeeded> Huufarted, thank you
[23:37] <stealth-> botux: skype is commercial software and wouldn't be hosted in the main respritories, anyway
[23:37] <Huufarted> Zeeded: read + write = 6 + 4 = 6
[23:37] <Huufarted> Zeeded: correction:  4+2 because I'm retarded
[23:38] <Zeeded> lol
[23:38] <stealth-> lol
[23:38] <Barridus> botux i think it's on medibuntu
[23:38] <Barridus> !medibuntu
[23:39] <Ripzerskins> Hi guys.
[23:39] <lasivian> is there any way to download the package and the depends from the website diorectly?
[23:39] <lasivian> trying to install the old version fails because it can;t download one of the deps
[23:39] <euxneks> Zeeded, it might also be easier to remember it in terms of (g)roup, (u)ser, and (o)ther, then you can type something like this: chmod g+r <file> which will give group read permissions
[23:39] <euxneks> I thin
[23:40] <euxneks> *I think
[23:40] <euxneks> :P
[23:40] <Huufarted> euxneks: to avoid confusion, please use the order of user, group, and other.  Don't change the order
[23:40] <Barridus> lasivian, if you mean skype then i think so.  i did a while back in hardy (before i ditched skype)
[23:40] <BigMoopies> is there an actually worthy XMMS replacement ?
[23:40] <Huufarted> and yes, euxneks, that will work just fine
[23:40] <euxneks> Huufarted, good point
[23:41] <wahnfrieden> hi
[23:41] <euxneks> Zeeded, in any case, "man chmod" will tell you all this in more detail
[23:41] <wahnfrieden> why am I allowed to do sudo su and be root?
[23:41] <wahnfrieden> isn't that a security hazard
[23:41] <lasivian> Barridus: I need any version of firefox other than 3.0.8
[23:41] <BigMoopies> or is it possible to add winamp presets to a gui (client?) of xmms2
[23:41] <Huufarted> wahnfrieden, no.  You can't do that unless your login is a member of the sudoers group
[23:41] <lasivian> Barridus: When I upgraded today my CPU usage went ballistic even with no add-ons
[23:41] <euxneks> wahnfrieden, also if you have the ability to sudo su then it's assumed it's not a security risk
[23:41] <lasivian> Barridus:if I run 3.0.8 I can;t do anything else with the system at all
[23:42] <Huufarted> wahnfrieden: so unless someone specifically gave you permissions to run 'sudo' then you can't do 'sudo su -'
[23:42] <Iyunkateus> Hey everybody
[23:42] <Barridus> lasivian, not surprising - it doesn't use the gtk toolkit like all of gnome uses, it uses some that kde uses.  so you end up iwth a bunch of extra crap running and loaded into memory.  that's why i ditched skype
[23:43] <Ripzerskins> Does anyone here play Alien Arena in 8.10? I need a little help getting it to it's most recent update
[23:43] <lasivian> so what do I do
[23:45] <Barridus> lasivian, not sure. see if you can pull some of the QT stuff off the pc without breaking skype?  or just switching to Kubuntu entirely?  (since it shares the QT libraries)
[23:45] <Iceman_B^Ltop> I have 2 torrents that should have the exact same files, only the filenames differ between the torrents, is there any way I can rename all of them ine one go ?
[23:45] <Barridus> lasivian, have you tried sudo apt-get autoremove ?
[23:45] <euxneks> Iceman_B^Ltop, that's a rather unique request
[23:46] <euxneks> Iceman_B^Ltop, check out "krename" - that may be what you want if I've understood you correctly
[23:46] <Barridus> i would try that first if you have not already, it detects libraries and daemons and such that are orphaned dependencies that are loading for no reason
[23:46] <HammerHead66> ﻿Ripzerskins:here you go   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuOnSunRay
[23:46] <cosita> hola, un canal ububtu en español
[23:46] <Iceman_B^Ltop> euxneks: does that require a gui?
[23:46] <lasivian> Barridus: why do you keep talking about skype?
[23:46] <Barridus> is that not your issue?  i thought it was...
[23:47] <tyler> is this where you get help
[23:47] <euxneks> Iceman_B^Ltop, yes
[23:47] <HammerHead66> ﻿cosita: !spanish
[23:47] <tyler> i tried to join #support
[23:47] <Barridus> if not, disregard the confusion
[23:47] <tyler> guess thats not it it brought me to an empty channel ##support
[23:47] <NTFS> give me a hell yeah if you watched wreslemania 25 last sunday
[23:47] <lasivian> Barridus: no, I am trying to install any version of firefox that is NOT 3.0.8
[23:47] <Iyunkateus> I have a little problem with installing Ubuntu directly. I've been using Wubi for a while, but one day I decided to just install it to the disk. Well, after several minutes it didn't look like it was going anywhere, so I canceled it. Now I can't partition the disk. I think there's some incompletely partitioned space on the disk. How would I free this space?
[23:47] <HammerHead66> ﻿!spanish
[23:47] <Ripzerskins> HammerHead66: Thanks, I think. I don't know what sunray is though.
[23:47] <Xcell> !es
[23:47] <Barridus> lasivian,  oops XD
[23:47] <NTFS> !hell yeah
[23:48] <tlm2024> test
[23:48] <Barridus> someone was asking about skype around the same time and i got my discussion  swapped ;)
[23:48] <tyler> anyone know how i can go about changing my login screen
[23:48] <NTFS> linux sucks!
[23:48] <Iceman_B^Ltop> euxneks: I lack one :) but no matter, I'll just start the other torrent, It'll go way faster too
[23:48] <Barridus> heh it's iceman
[23:48] <clearscreen> NTFS: we really care about your opinion in here :)
[23:48] <troal01> Hey is there any way to get imeem.com working with Linux and libflashplayer.so 10 64 bit?
[23:49] <euxneks> Iceman_B^Ltop, yeah sorry
[23:49] <NTFS> windows nt kernel is better than the linux kernel
[23:49] <Barridus> <- also known as solidus
[23:49] <tyler> NTFS, then leave
[23:49] <clearscreen> NTFS: cool story bro
[23:49] <Huufarted> Iyunkateus: did you get an answer yet about your unpartitioned space?
[23:49] <euxneks> NTFS, ..?
[23:49] <Huufarted> !troll | NTFS
[23:49] <Iyunkateus> Huufarted: No
[23:49] <Barridus> !troll
[23:50] <lasivian> apt-get install firefox-3.0=3.0.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu2 fails because it can;t get 2 deps :S
[23:50] <NTFS> fuck
[23:50] <euxneks> hahahah
[23:50] <clearscreen> that was fast :)
[23:50] <Huufarted> Dang you're fast, LjL.  :)  I was about to !ops
[23:50] <euxneks> that was awesome
[23:50] <fultonh1> hi
[23:50] <tyler> gotta love the trolls
[23:50] <Iyunkateus> NTFS: I believe this is a channel for asking questions. The correct format is "Is windows nt kernel better than the linux kernel?"
[23:50] <Huufarted> Iyunkateus: do you need any of the data on the drive?
[23:50] <Iyunkateus> ****
[23:50] <LjL> !feeding the troll
[23:50] <Barridus> !best
[23:51] <Iyunkateus> too late
[23:51] <Huufarted> Iyunkateus: lol you're wasting your breath, LjL kicked him to the curb already
[23:51] <Iyunkateus> Yeah, saw that right after I pressed enter
[23:51] <Barridus> i'm still amazed this place still gets trolls
[23:51] <Huufarted> Iyunkateus: Do you need any data on the drive you were attempting to install Ubuntu to?
[23:51] <euxneks> Barridus, trolls are attracted to communities
[23:51] <Huufarted> Barridus, with 1400+ users, it's inevitable
[23:52] <fultonh1> i am having major problems with apt connecting to the internet, and i also have to put in a manual noproxy command to use wget.  can anyone help me?
[23:52] <euxneks> Barridus, especially with large amounts of user :)
[23:52] <tyler> trolls are attracted to anywhere there are people
[23:52] <Barridus> you'd think after ms basically came as close as they ever have to saying "sorry about vista, give us a sec and we'll make a new os" XD
[23:52] <Huufarted> tyler: or kittens
[23:52] <LjL> !feeding the troll
[23:52] <Iyunkateus> Huufarted: If possible, I'd prefer to retain the Windows partition
[23:53] <Barridus> well what about us?  we haven't reached our "fun" goal.
[23:53] <Barridus> insensitive bot D:
[23:53] <tyler> ok so, i havent used linux in a while and i forget most of it hah,  im guessing if i just installed intrepid i have gnome?
[23:53] <Barridus> tyler, yes
[23:53] <fultonh1> pm me if you can help me with my network issues
[23:53] <Barridus> gnome and gtk toolkit
[23:53] <Huufarted> Iyunkateus: First make a backup of it just in case.  I would use G4L for that.  Well, or DD if you slave the drive.  Otherwise, I would use a gparted liveCD to handle the repartitioning
[23:53] <tyler> so if i wanted to change my login screen i need gnome specific ones?
[23:54] <fultonh1> i have tried everything i can think of and i'm at the end of my rope
[23:54] <Huufarted> fultonh1: what errors are you getting?  I'm not going to PM you.
[23:54] <fultonh1> ok
[23:54] <Iyunkateus> Huufarted: G4L standing for...
[23:54] <Huufarted> Iyunkateus: G4L is the name, but it stands for Ghost4Linux
[23:54] <fultonh1> no error, but apt-get tries to connect through a proxy i previously had set up
[23:54] <Iyunkateus> There's no point in saying "PM me" in the middle of a support channel
[23:54] <Barridus> tyler, yes, you'll need gnome/gtk ones.  there's a bunch in the repos.  just include gnome or gtk in the synaptic search for login screens
[23:54] <bonhoffer> anyone here use knowledge tree on ubuntu?
[23:54] <Huufarted> fultonh1: so it's using a proxy you no longer use?
[23:54] <bonhoffer> curious if it works well
[23:55] <tyler> so i use synaptic package manager?
[23:55] <Huufarted> !who | tyler
[23:55] <fultonh1> yes, and if i try to reestablish that proxy through a ssl connection and dynamic forwarding it just fails to connect
[23:55] <Huufarted> !who | fultonh1
[23:55] <Barridus> tyler, sure it's pretty easy to use as you re-learn the ropes
[23:55] <Iyunkateus> !tab
[23:55] <Meat> Hi, can anyone here help me with some video driver issues?
[23:56] <Huufarted> !ask | Meat

[23:56] <Huufarted> fultonh1: please do not abuse the bot.
[23:56] <french> can i get some help installing drivers for hardy bcm43xx i instaleld some drivers but its doenst work
[23:56] <tyler> Barridus, yeah when i used *nix before i had major issues with bluetooth and wifi cause i was dualbooting but now im singlebooting on the same computer and no problems, should the bluetooth auto pair my known devices?
[23:56] <fultonh1> sorry
[23:56] <fultonh1> don't use irc much

[23:57] <Barridus> tyler, probably not.  a few "minor" edits will be required i think.  they were for me a while ago
[23:57] <tyler_brb> Barridus, any idea where i could find something to tell me what to do?
[23:58] <LjL> fultonh1: err, why did you just send Huufarted !tab after he asked not to abuve the bot since you sent him !who?
[23:58] <Huufarted> fultonh1: in regards to your proxy issue, I have no experience with proxies and Ubuntu, so I will be of no help to you.  I apologize.
[23:58] <Huufarted> LjL: I don't think he knew fully what I meant by abusing it.
[23:58] <fultonh1> huufarted: thanks anyway
