[00:00] <lepine> send host-name "hostname" ...
[00:00] <Roasted> gahhhhh this is confusing.
[00:00] <Fryggy> does anyone know how to connect to the wirelles internet, when Ubuntu keeps asking me the password for it and i keep typing the right one? It is like, ubuntu will not accept it :S
[00:00] <lepine> mkasson: it's not ...
[00:00] <Brad777> Does anyone know how to make a program start with a nice level you want like for me to start tremulous with a nice level of -4
[00:00] <lepine> but search for it in synaptic ... it's there
[00:00] <JC_Denton_> my prob: the automated fsck needs to drop into the root shell however this simply reports segmentation fault and my ubuntu machine gets stuck in a boot cycle! Is there a way to defrag the disk my installation is on? tried returning to run level 1 but the root shell option fails (think it might be the seg fault again)
[00:01] <nightrid3r> Fryggy: did you select the right encryption?
[00:01] <Scunizi> how do you uninstall a .run file?  (world of padman)
[00:01] <fx3> Brad777, nice -4 <program>
[00:01] <ConvictedFelon> Hello everybody! I was wondering if there was a way to remove currently installed packages that a download script does not contain? anybody know?
[00:01] <mkasson> ehh, just starting with kubuntu. using this blasted adept.
[00:01] <Brad777> fx3, thank you i would have google'd but i couldn't figure out what to put in
[00:01] <mkasson> and apt-cache gives too many lines
[00:01] <Scunizi> mkasson: you can install synaptic and use that if you preferr
[00:01] <Fryggy> nightrid4r: yes i have. Yesterday i connected to the wireless network without any problems, but now i cannot :S
[00:01] <fx3> Brad777, you should have googled it. would have been easier
[00:01] <Roasted> fx3 - The thing is, I keep looking at this as a global thing. If I would have more Ubuntu machines, to have to edit each one seems cumbersome. I just feel like there's an easier way to do this.
[00:01] <lepine> apt-cache search java | grep jre
[00:02] <ActionParsnip1> !java
[00:02] <lepine> | grep sun
[00:02] <martinkoelewijn> ConvictedFelon: what do you mean?
[00:02] <mrsteveman1> Roasted: fx3: it will still be necessary to ping by the hostname according to the routers configuration, because these machines will be asking the router for the ip address either way, unless of course you manually put mappings into /etc/hosts
[00:02] <fx3> Roasted, yes, set up a bloody DNS server !
[00:02] <mkasson> excellent.  thanks both
[00:02] <otm> compiz fusion wont work! =[
[00:02] <Roasted> fx3 - If I needed a DNS server, I'd set one up. But I'm failing to see how I need a standalone DNS server int his situation when I have a simple lan with a router.
[00:03] <ConvictedFelon> well, i have this desktop i am currently on.  i also have a xubuntu server. i uninstalled the xubunutu desktop and installed the ubuntu desktop, but its not the same. so i made a script for all the packages i have, but would also like to remove all the ones i dont have
[00:03] <nightrid3r> Roasted: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/343
[00:03] <fx3> Roasted, XPs and Macs both use zeroconf, thats enabled by default, unfortunately it causes lots of broadcast traffic and other nasty stuff. If you want it you will need to enable it
[00:03] <mrsteveman1> Roasted: you already have a DNS server it just doesn't seem to be passing out the information needed for this sort of thing to clients
[00:03] <Roasted> mrsteveman1 - What are your thoughts? Is this a router issue? Is this something that the router is lacking that causes this to happen, but perhaps the use of WINS on the windows machines overlooks this?
[00:03] <vidor> anyone have any ideas on how to revert back to gnome login screen instead of the ugly kde login screen
[00:04] <mrsteveman1> Roasted: check and see what your ubuntu machine thinks its hostname is
[00:04] <martinkoelewijn> ConvictedFelon: delete packages you don't have? I don't get it
[00:04] <fx3> vidor, install gnome, logout, change session type, log in, uninstall kde
[00:04] <ActionParsnip1> vidor: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/how-to-switch-between-gdm-and-kdm-on-ubuntu/
[00:04] <Roasted> mrsteveman1 - /etc/hostname says skynet
[00:04] <vidor> thanks for the link
[00:04] <Roasted> which is my computer name
[00:04] <fx3> vidor, though i think its more difficult in practice, you should listen to ActionParsnip1
[00:05] <vidor> i will check there thank you ...
[00:05] <mrsteveman1> Roasted: /etc/hostname is static i think
[00:05] <mrh> how do I find the name for an app that is installed? I want to invoke it from the cl
[00:05] <mrsteveman1> but run the hostname command
[00:05] <ConvictedFelon> martinkoelewijn: sorry if it was confusing. PC1 is ubuntu desktop. PC2 is xubuntu server. i sent a script to PC2 so i can have all the same packages PC1 has, but i also dont want PC2 to have any packages PC1 doesnt. if i went through by hand....thats a lot of packages to look at. (1000+)
[00:05] <Roasted> mrsteveman1 - I was told to edit /etc/hostname when I wanted to change my ubuntu computer name.
[00:05] <Vague> I got an error 12 invalid device requested from grub when attempting to boot to Windows, I had to fix grub, doing the sudo grub setup thingy, because I broke the MBR deleting an old partition I never used, I'm thinking I did it wrong, because now I can't boot into windows, any suggestions?
[00:05] <ActionParsnip1> mrh: type part of its name and press tab
[00:06] <mrsteveman1> Roasted: you would rather have DHCP handing out the hostnames and domain if possible
[00:06] <mrh> It is swiftweasel, the thing installed, but the cretins that built it did not bother to provide ANY sort of icon, or any instructions on how to open the thing
[00:06] <mrsteveman1> Roasted: if linksys firmware won't do it, your options are to change firmware or set it manually on each machine, and it might not be worth the trouble
[00:06] <mrh> ActionParsnip1: will do
[00:06] <Roasted> mrsteveman1 - The one thing about this computer is I named it skynet cause that's just what I wanted, but this is a samba fileserver that other computers back up to, so it was important that the other computers could just to start - run - skynet and hit this PC to back stuff up
[00:07] <fx3> Roasted, if you have 2 machines you could simply edit resolv.conf on both of them...
[00:07] <Roasted> mrsteveman1 - That's the only other confusing thing then. I statically set skynet in /etc/hostname on this ubuntu computer, and other XP computers can ping it. But other XP computers cannot ping my other Ubuntu desktop running Samba as well.
[00:07] <mrsteveman1> Roasted: in the near term just set the hostname and domain on each machine to what you want it to be
[00:07] <RedMushroom> how do i use the live cd to boot into the root account?
[00:07] <mrh> ActionParsnip1: no go
[00:07] <mrsteveman1> Roasted: if you really want to you can look into changing firmware
[00:07] <Roasted> fx3 - I understand, but I'm trying to understand the nature of the problem versus just using a quick patch to fix it. Iw ork in IT so it's important I understand how things work.
[00:07] <ConvictedFelon> RedMushroom: you dont boot into root account.
[00:08] <Roasted> mrsteveman1 - Okay, you're in my shoes. What's your first move? New firmware? Or would you change something on the desktops>?
[00:08] <VeRby> i cannot get my "new" ati radeon x1650 pro agp under any drivers, may someone help me solve this issue... plz
[00:08] <RedMushroom> ConvictedFelon: well, sign in then
[00:08] <fx3> Roasted, youll find that you can access your samba server via its name if you set hostname = skynet in your samba.conf
[00:08] <ConvictedFelon> RedMushroom: if you just want to run a command? use sudo
[00:08] <mrsteveman1> Roasted: for the moment, fix it with resolv.conf, and look at other firmware. I'm not entirely sure the linksys firmware is the problem but it could be
[00:08] <Louis> ConvictedFelon, are you really a felon?
[00:09] <CarlFK> whats the command it to show what files are in a .deb?
[00:09] <bluejeans> mrh, 'locate _XX_' and look for matching result in /usr/bin/
[00:09] <RedMushroom> i cant use sudo because i changed the perimissions on the /etc/ directory and i can execute it anymore
[00:09] <ConvictedFelon> Louis:yes
[00:09] <CarlFK> something like dpkg... --list files foo.deb
[00:09] <mrh> You know what really ticks me off anymore? cretins like the ones that built the thing, who go about trying to cover up their sheer incompetence by saying shoddy crap is the linux way
[00:09] <Roasted> fx3 - ah hah! EXCEPT, skynet is not found in my smb.conf. Which confuses me why it works...
[00:09] <RedMushroom> so i need to login/signin/boot in to the root account off the live cd
[00:09] <Louis> ConvictedFelon:  mind if i PM you real quick?
[00:09] <fx3> Roasted, sometimes smb might take it from your existing hostname
[00:09] <mrh> bluejeans: tried that brother, tried that already
[00:09] <ConvictedFelon> RedMushroom: you cant just open terminal, use sudo and chmod?
[00:09] <RedMushroom> no
[00:10] <mrsteveman1> Roasted: you should make a post about this on the forum, so that we can more easily paste configurations and keep track of things
[00:10] <RedMushroom> because sudo is in the /etc/ dir, and i can no longer use sudo
[00:10] <Vague> I got an error 12: Invalid Device Requested from grub, does anyone have any idea how I can fix it so I can boot into Windows?
[00:10] <Roasted> fx3 - Then why wouldn't my secondary samba computer pick up that host name? I can only connect to that samba computer with an XP computer if I use the IP. If I use the secondary samba computers computer name (as I do with my primary) it doesnt work.
[00:10] <bluejeans> mrh, did locate show results in ANY bin/ ?
[00:10] <fx3> Roasted, smb runs some sort of a WINS server on its own, or its like an SMB name resolution. This exact problem bugged me at work for months
[00:10] <RedMushroom> does anyone know how to use the live cd to access the root account?
[00:10] <jdwarta> can someone help my with installing a network printer
[00:10] <mrh> bluejeans: the reason I know it installed is because, right after running the install script, the thing opened up, worked, all well, so I closed it and then . . .
[00:10] <ConvictedFelon> RedMushroom: boot off live cd, use sudo from cd and modify settings on your hardrive
[00:11] <Louis> RedMushroom:  boot from the CD and then use sudo -i
[00:11] <ActionParsnip1> mrh: what did you install?
[00:11] <bluejeans> mrh, maybe in ~/.bin/ or /bin/ or /usr/local/bin/ ??
[00:11] <RedMushroom> i tried to use sudo after i chose "try ubuntu" but it woudn't see the hdd
[00:11] <mrh> bluejeans: no
[00:11] <RedMushroom> i need step by step instruction
[00:11] <RedMushroom> s
[00:12] <unko> anyone in here have a ati g-card? and using virtualbox? i have a serious problem!!!!!!!
[00:12] <ConvictedFelon> Hello everybody! I was wondering if there was a way to remove packages that are not listed in a package download script? instead of going through by hand...
[00:12] <fx3> Roasted, i dont know, its iffy like that. If you want a bulletproof setup you need to set up a DNS server with a DHCP server on one of the computers, that way *all* of your machines will resolve names using your local DNS names always, even if WINS or SMB fails
[00:12] <JC_Denton_> what program is ran when "drop into root shell" is selected?
[00:12] <jdwarta> i need help installing a network printer!
[00:12] <mrh> bluejeans: none
[00:12] <ActionParsnip1> unko: did you install the guest additions
[00:12] <matrixblue> have package with my ISP where I have to sign into a VPN connection to get internet access. I installed the network manager pptp package.
[00:12] <matrixblue> My ISP told that in Windows I am supposed to disable the security settings and I did this in Ubuntu but it fails no matter what combination I use.
[00:12] <bluejeans> mrh, wha tkind of program was it?  (thinking if it was python of some other script it might be invoked differently)
[00:12] <unko> ActionParsnip1, yep... i guess thats the problem huh?
[00:12] <mrh> ActionParsnip1: swiftweasel
[00:12] <ActionParsnip1> unko: no you wanna do that
[00:13] <Roasted> fx3 - So you ran into the same issue I did? I just can't see how one samba computer works with the hostname while the other doesn't work. In both computers, I checked the smb.conf and their respective hostnames were NOT in the smb.conf, I thought maybe I would have had to put it in the smb.conf for it to work but its not in either samba config file. So I know that's not the issue.
[00:13] <mrh> bluejeans: swiftweasel
[00:13] <unko> ActionParsnip1, oh well i did... but now i have this insane flickering problem (ati = fail)
[00:13] <martinkoelewijn> ConvictedFelon: just thinking: can't you use synaptic on both pc's to make list of installed packages and then use database or something to compare?
[00:13] <fx3> Roasted, i would advice to put them in, also im not sure if two samba servers can play nice on the network
[00:13] <OltreIrc`36830> .:::] Ci40 @ Tutti [:::. »BuTT3rF|y sCr|pT«»rEvOLuTiOnZ»v3.1.5«
[00:13] <JC_Denton_> what program is ran when "drop into root shell" is selected (at run level one) or when during bootup the root shell is started?
[00:14] <mrh> I can't believe I am in the irc channel asking for help on how to find the thing
[00:14] <mrh> ok
[00:14] <mrsteveman1> fx3: multiple samba servers on a subnet should hold an election and choose a master
[00:14] <ConvictedFelon> martinkoelewijn: im not familiar with database, is it a package i can download?
[00:14] <ActionParsnip1> mrh: apparently its in the menus
[00:14] <OltreIrc`36830> !list
[00:14] <Roasted> mrsteveman1 - Is that true, or are you just messing around? :P
[00:14] <ActionParsnip1> unko: you should use the vboxdriver for your virtual system
[00:14] <mrsteveman1> its true
[00:14] <martinkoelewijn> ConvictedFelon: no, i mean as in openoffice access-like
[00:14] <unko> ActionParsnip1, and how do i do this?
[00:14] <Roasted> mrsteveman1 - Well maybe thats at least why I cant get my one samba server ot work right.....
[00:15] <ConvictedFelon> oh
[00:15] <vidor> who ever game the link to reconfigure gdm ... it worked perfectly TY much for the now bookmarked link
[00:15] <mrsteveman1> Roasted: there are settings in smb.conf that will decide the priority of a server in an election, you can rig it :)
[00:15] <ActionParsnip1> unko: http://www.virtualbox.org/attachment/ticket/1591/xorg.conf
[00:15] <ConvictedFelon> martinkoelewijn: i suppose i could, thanks
[00:15] <mrh> imma delete it and write those cretins a hate email
[00:15] <Roasted> mrsteveman1 - You're not kidding about the election thing..?
[00:15] <mrsteveman1> nope im serious
[00:15] <caty> hi
 ???
[00:15] <fx3> mrsteveman1, will it still work without a DC and that stuff? SMB used to be windows stuff
[00:15] <Louis> Has anybody here used apparmor on a personal client?  I'm wondering if it's worth the trouble
[00:16] <Roasted> mrsteveman1 - Do you recall where it is in the smb.conf to adjust that setting?
[00:16] <mrh> ActionParsnip1: I use KDE, and it is nowhere to be found
[00:16] <unko> ActionParsnip1, wait.. what do i do with that?
[00:16] <mrh> My goodness, if my stuff were that shoddy, I would shoot myself, some people have no dignity I guess
[00:17] <ActionParsnip1> mrh: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=142798
[00:17] <mrh> amazing
[00:17] <ActionParsnip1> unko: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:17] <mrsteveman1> fx3: yea, it should work regardless of the DC, its a WINS thing
[00:17] <mrh> ActionParsnip1: thanks man, but I am deleting it
[00:17] <unko> ActionParsnip1, do i put that in my virtual machine terminal? or mine?
[00:17] <matrixblue> have package with my ISP where I have to sign into a VPN connection to get internet access. I installed the network manager pptp package.
[00:17] <matrixblue> My ISP told that in Windows I am supposed to disable the security settings and I did this in Ubuntu but it fails no matter what combination I use.
[00:17] <ActionParsnip1> unko: the guest
[00:18] <mrsteveman1> Roasted: it shouldn't require any config, one of them should always win if there are are a bunch of smb servers
[00:18] <bluejeans> mrh, searching.. but not haven't found anything that owuld explain your problem. maybe you shoudl jsut reinstall  on the chance its a fluke?
[00:18] <unko> ActionParsnip1, ok thanks man
[00:18] <mrh> thanks everyone! bluejeans and ActionParsnip1
[00:18] <fx3> mrsteveman1, ive tried to steer clear of that stuff, always made me cringe, WINS, NetBIOS, errrrgh
[00:18] <mrsteveman1> fx3: i hate them both :)
[00:18] <tjb> ActionParsnip1: I now have Kubuntu 8.04 installed. What command to I need to type to get my nVidia GeForce GO 6150 and Broadcom 43xx drivers installed?
[00:18] <tjb> ActionParsnip1: this is ultimatelifeform
[00:18] <mrh> bluejeans: thanks bro, but I have had enough humilliation at the hands of the work of cretins
[00:18] <unko> ActionParsnip1, how do i get it on my guest os ?
[00:18] <mrh> anyway
[00:18] <jdwarta> My printer isnt working
[00:18] <mrh> thanks all
[00:18] <Roasted> mrsteveman1 - Is that to suggest that tomorrow, the opposite may happen? The secondary work and the primary fail to connect via hostname?
[00:18] <mrh> bye now
[00:18] <FloodBot2> mrh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:19] <mrsteveman1> Roasted: regardless of which one wins the election things should work
[00:19] <ActionParsnip1> unko: save it in a text file, or access the web from the guest
[00:19] <mrsteveman1> Roasted: if the WINS server doesn't have the information the client will make a broadcast on the local segment to find the ip
[00:19] <unko> ok
[00:20] <fx3> mrsteveman1, is WINS server part of samba install ?
[00:20] <tjb> ActionParsnip1: What are the commands?
[00:20] <mrsteveman1> fx3: yes
[00:20] <martinkoelewijn> ConvictedFelon: you want to synchronize two systems. Don't know how to do it, but you can google this or ask for this.
[00:20] <unko> ActionParsnip1, you the god of ubuntu!
[00:20] <mrsteveman1> fx3: i think its called winbind
[00:20] <fx3> mrsteveman1, is its configurable? ohhh, so i can install winbind without smb ?
[00:20] <ActionParsnip1> unko: i try
[00:21] <mrsteveman1> fx3: scratch that winbind is something else
[00:21] <nightrid3r> mrsteveman1: winbind will bind a linux box to a windows domain
[00:21] <fx3> mrsteveman1, though from experience with bind9, i dont think i want to go to a place similar to that ever again
[00:21] <ActionParsnip1> sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180; sudo nvidia-xconfig

[00:27] <mrwes> heh
[00:27] <owen1> ActionParsnip1: so aptitude can't deal with it?

[00:28] <scrote> ActionParsnip1: ^
[00:28] <scrote> hence grub keeps them in the list.
[00:28] <ActionParsnip1> owen1: well you are asking for a particular file, download the deb you want manually

[00:35] <spanther> hi :)
[00:35] <bluejeans> owen1, you mean install ONTO an ipod nano?
[00:36] <ActionParsnip1> unko: ok fine
[00:36] <hoover> hi all
[00:36] <spanther> i shot my windows desktop so i used 8.10 to boot as liveCD. how to rescue the data on filesystem now? need to ship it with ftp to another pc
[00:36] <unko> ActionParsnip1, ??
[00:36] <ActionParsnip1> unko: can you ping 38.99.130.180
[00:36] <bluejeans> owen1, yes its possible  but you probably shouldn't... in time all the saves can ruin the flash memory
[00:36] <unko> ActionParsnip1,  how do i ping that?
[00:37] <hmw_pidgin> spanther: you need to mount the windows partition
[00:37] <ActionParsnip1> unko: in terminal
[00:37] <unko> ActionParsnip1, NEVERMIND I GOT IT
[00:37] <tjb> ActionParsnip1: How can I close my X Server so I can install the REAL NVIDIA Drivers?
[00:37] <owen1> bluejeans: ok. can i use my nano to install other desktops with ubuntu?
[00:37] <spanther> hmw_pidgin: which ftp server is good to upload from liveCD ?
[00:38] <jacob5> Where is this packages.c file located? dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221
[00:38] <scrote> ActionParsnip1: the link you provided, linked to http://madwifi.org/ticket/1016  which is 404 Not Found
[00:38] <hmw_pidgin> spanther: hmm... i don't know... how much data is it?
[00:38] <ActionParsnip1> tjb: i always log on to recovery root console and do it there
[00:38] <spanther> hmw_pidgin: like 40gb
[00:39] <unko> ActionParsnip1, wait.. do i pin it from my guestos or mine?
[00:39] <scrote> should i just apt-get install hostapd and madwifi-tools ?
[00:39] <bluejeans> owen1, yes, open ipod as a disk drive save the ubuntu ISO memory.. then on the next computer set bios to boot from usb
[00:39] <ActionParsnip1> scrote: worth a shot
[00:40] <ActionParsnip1> unko: i wasnt aware it was a guest system. can you please clarify what exactly we are troubleshooting and the setup
[00:40] <bluejeans> owen1, .. but why not just burn a cd? easier and safer
[00:40] <hmw_pidgin> spanther: maybe you should check out file hosters like rapidshare
[00:40] <unko> ActionParsnip1, i can't get my guestos to connect to the internet... :[
[00:40] <martinkoelewijn> ActionParsnip1: press contrl+alt+F1 or F2 or F3 etc until you get commandline. Then run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[00:40] <scrote> ActionParsnip1: so what do i do with that stuff
[00:41] <scrote> im tired of this linux crap fuck'n up
[00:41] <owen1> bluejeans: why is it easier?
[00:41] <ActionParsnip1> unko: oh, is it in virtual box?
[00:41] <unko> ActionParsnip1, yea
[00:41] <ActionParsnip1> martinkoelewijn: thats another way i guess
[00:41] <scrote> i installed those and wifi is still failing.
[00:41] <ActionParsnip1> unko: ok i got this one in 1 simple move, gimme a sec
[00:41] <spanther> hmw_pidgin: had to do a forced mount because liveCD said the NTFS partition were in use xD
[00:41] <hmw_pidgin> spanther: rapidshare has a file size limit, i think. You will need to compress your stuff in partial files, but I cant tell you how to create multipart zips in ubuntu
[00:41] <unko> ActionParsnip1, it worked foine on the livecd in my virtualbox
[00:41] <unko> ActionParsnip1, ok
[00:42] <spanther> hmw_pidgin: well uploading private data isnt that cool after all i think :)
[00:42] <hmw_pidgin> spanther: sounds like your windows crashed and you switched the computer off
[00:42] <spanther> hmw_pidgin: yeah xD exactly :)
[00:42] <ActionParsnip1> unko: your DNS needs to be set to 10.0.2.3 and your gateway needs to be set to the ip of your router
[00:42] <owen1> bluejeans: also, what is UNetbootin? i don't understand it from reading the site.
[00:42] <bluejeans> owen1, not all bios allow usb boot.. and you can also run into hardware related issues...  besides, if anything goes wrong with the cd yo uonly lose 25 cents instead of a $150 ipod
[00:42] <hmw_pidgin> spanther: you can use encryped zip or something, but uploading is slow and i would rather try to get an external usb hard drive or set up a network
[00:42] <ActionParsnip1> unko: in the guest
[00:42] <bluejeans> owen1,  google is your friend
[00:42] <unko> ActionParsnip1, do i set that in my Vbox prefs?
[00:42] <spaceBARbarian> how can i change the minimum required length for a password ?
[00:43] <spanther> hmw_pidgin: network i think is the best solution :)
[00:43] <ActionParsnip1> unko: no, in the network settings of the guest OS
[00:43] <hmw_pidgin> spanther: if you have a LAN, then this sounds like the best option to me
[00:43] <unko> ActionParsnip1, were do i do that?
[00:43] <ActionParsnip1> unko: ok
[00:43] <scrote> why is wifi failing in the first place ?
[00:43] <scrote> it was working just fine.
[00:43] <spanther> hmw_pidgin: yes laptop (thinkpad r61) is connected over wifi to router and this is inside a lan
[00:43] <scrote> for about 3 weeks
[00:43] <ActionParsnip1> unko: gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf
[00:43] <owen1> bluejeans: i am on their site. it say "bootable Live USB". does it mean ubuntu will be running from the usb?
[00:44] <ActionParsnip1> unko: add the line   nameserver 10.0.2.3
[00:44] <owen1> bluejeans: (which will ruin my usb)
[00:44] <scrote> i used to get wifi with a gui app in the tray
[00:44] <scrote> now it doesent work
[00:44] <ActionParsnip1> unko: gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[00:44] <hmw_pidgin> spanther: consider creating a system partition for windows and software, and another for data, when reinstalling windows. This way you wont loose data. You could even try, if you can manage to resize your current partition, and create a data partition, save your data and resetup
[00:44] <bluejeans> owen1,  yes.. many distros offer USB installs.. i myself have used several
[00:44] <spanther> hmw_pidgin: i am no friend of unclean setups :)
[00:44] <ActionParsnip1> unko: add the line   gateway <whatever your routers internal IP is here>  for the network adapter
[00:45] <hmw_pidgin> spanther: there should be nothing unclean to what i meant. maybe there is a misunderstanding?
[00:45] <unko> ActionParsnip1, were do i add it?
[00:45] <spanther> hmw_pidgin: i mean after resizing partitions and putting another partition somewhere on the harddrive :)
[00:45] <ActionParsnip1> unko: which one?
[00:45] <scrote> sudo /etc/init.d/hostapd start  # this doesent make wireless work
[00:45] <scrote> what do i have to type to make wireless work.
[00:45] <unko> ActionParsnip1, no.. i mean in the guestos how do i add that? lik were
[00:46] <bluejeans> owen1, however, if you are interested in a usb install i would not recommend ubuntu...  there are betterm lighter ones for usb. google it
[00:46] <matrixblue> I need an alternate VPN client that uses PPTP
[00:46] <hmw_pidgin> spanther: ah, you mean its a risk of loosing data... well... keep in mind, that having system and data separated is very useful, when you are going to wipe that drive.
[00:46] <unko> ActionParsnip1, oh sorry i didn't see that command line u put up
[00:46] <spaceBARbarian> how can i change the minimum required length for a password ?
[00:46] <ActionParsnip1> unko: in the settings for network, if you read what i told you i literally gave you a step by step guide
[00:47] <scrote> why does linux keep failing?
[00:47] <unko> ActionParsnip1, sorry...
[00:47] <spanther> hmw_pidgin: yes. and all the time before i ever made 2 partitions too. but i made them one after another so they had the right name and order :)
[00:47] <spanther> i just cant live with a viewable windows d: lol
[00:47] <ActionParsnip1> unko: np man
[00:47] <hmw_pidgin> spaceBARbarian: maybe you shouldnt even try to do that. Check out pamusb (flash drive as key card), thus you dont need to type your password all the time, when the drive is plugged in, and your password stays long and safe
[00:48] <hmw_pidgin> spanther: i never lost data with resizing. But it could happen, of course. I guess its not very likely. More probable is, that gparted wouldnt allow you to resize due to the unclean shutdown
[00:48] <spaceBARbarian> hmw_pidgin: i am trying to increase the length
[00:49] <spanther> hmw_pidgin: sorry but there was no way to shutdown clean :)
[00:49] <hmw_pidgin> spaceBARbarian: oops. LOL. Sorry, i dont know...
[00:49] <forceflow> spanther: I resized my NTFS partition without problems using gparted
[00:49]  * scrote is tired of this linux shit.
[00:49] <unko> ActionParsnip1, can i pm real quick
[00:49] <forceflow> just don't push the partitions against the boundaries of free space

[00:49] <ActionParsnip1> unko: sure
[00:50] <forceflow> scrote: is the applet running? and is the daemon behind it (network-manager, nm-daemon, ... something like that) running?
[00:50] <spaceBARbarian> ActionParsnip1: i tried that but it had no effect
[00:50] <spanther> my system was hanging after a theme tool replaces system files. god damnit i just hate myself that i really tried these things again lol. now i have alot bought music (1300songs) on harddrive but my system hangs because of missing system files which bring high cpu load all the time and often crashing windows explorer .exe
[00:50] <forceflow> scrote: you can always configure your wireless manually - check iwlist and ifconfig
[00:51] <forceflow> spanther: you could fix that by running an alternative windows shell
[00:51] <wookienz> hi, i have a raid 5 array which ihave updated the disks to bogger ones. I have grown the array using mdadm - it would appear i need to run mkfs aswell. Will mkfs delete the data on the drive, or just resize available space?
[00:51] <forceflow> when I'm on windows, I run blackbox :)
[00:51] <hmw_pidgin> spaceBARbarian: just found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-702086.html - are you sure, you cant use longer passwords?
[00:51] <spanther> forceflow: well my theme is cracked up too now :) just slow reacting and freezing often then explorer crashes again heh
[00:52] <spanther> all standard windows themes too
[00:52] <forceflow> spanther: well, load up blackbox. it's an explorer.exe replacement
[00:52] <spanther> lemme check it out first :)

[00:53] <spanther> forceflow: vista cappable?
[00:54] <forceflow> hmzzz
[00:54] <spaceBARbarian> hmw_pidgin: yeah thats what i tried, first of all my password required line had no 'min=' in it, i added that and it didnt change anything
[00:54] <forceflow> not sure
[00:54] <spanther> forceflow: heh okay then i wont risk it but thanks dude xD
[00:54] <forceflow> spanther: okay, good luck anyway
[00:54] <spanther> everytime nice to know new things i didnt heard about before :)
[00:54] <hmw_pidgin> spaceBARbarian: i was relating to the last entry... that person claims that a 52 char password worked anyways
[00:54] <spanther> yeah thanks ^^ just need a slim ftp server now to upload fast
[00:54] <bluejeans> spanther, i have used bblean off of a usb ontop of vista... worked fine except a couple of the apple tin the dockbar look funky
[00:55] <eseven73> !ot

[00:56] <spanther> cool gftp can upload too :)

[01:13] <spanther> mkasson: a collection with restricted software for playing dvd , using java applications and other proprietary stuff like flash etc.
[01:14] <Downing> thanks useful...
[01:14] <simard> ameed: well, what do you mean ?
[01:15] <ameed> simard: i want something like visual studio where i can do design view and source code view something easy to do development with
[01:15] <darkharmonics> mkasson, you should check the private messages i sent you, has some good info
[01:15] <bluejeans> matrixblue, ok the error is when it tries to connect ppp0... open your settings and review then to be sure all is ok.. you might to be add/edit them
[01:16] <matrixblue> bluejeans, Ok
[01:16] <bluejeans> matrixblue, i am not on ubuntu myself so i can't tell you exactly what to look for  so just use some ommon sense
[01:17] <mkasson> darkharmonics, got it.  I answered publicly once, but I got it
[01:17] <pyrohotdog> My harddrive is encrypted, and I just changed my usplash theme...now I can't enter my password to boot.
[01:17] <bluejeans> ameed, what code? bash, perl, python, c++.... what are we talking about?
[01:17] <matamou> How come my laptop wont start the dvd drive during startup?
[01:17] <matamou> Im trying to get the Vista installation to start
[01:17] <aprilhare> strange: i deleted a 20 gb file via the trash - but i didn't get 20 gb hdd space back.
[01:17] <thebackwash> matamou: on startup, there should be a key you hit to get into the bios setup.
[01:18] <aprilhare> garbage bin rather
[01:18] <darkharmonics> matamou, its likely a bios setting
[01:18] <thebackwash> matamou: select the desired boot order from there
[01:18] <ameed> bluejeans: just PHP web development
[01:18] <Castawayz> is there a linux word processing app that has tabs
[01:18] <aprilhare> where are garbage bin items kept? i want to make sure the file got deleted.
[01:18] <thebackwash> matamou: unless you have a mac, in which case you can hold down option
[01:18] <matamou> after i press F12 to change the boot-order and select the dvd-drive, it just starts ubuntu
[01:18] <bluejeans> ameed, i use bluefish
[01:19] <matamou> so I should change it from Bios?
[01:19] <thebackwash> matamou: well likely the boot order would be a bios setting.  are you sure you save it when you exit the menu?
[01:19] <spaceBARbarian_> how do i get ubuntu to detect my sd card reader ?
[01:20] <matrixblue> bluejeans, what about this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/149206/
[01:20] <matamou> its not the bios I go to when I press F12, just to choose what drive/hdd I want to boot
[01:20] <ameed> bluejeans: is it good ?
[01:20] <matamou> im gonna try to change it from bios now-> cya

[01:25] <bluejeans> matrixblue, i'm only taking a shot in the dark here. (this is not my area of expertise) but i would suspect the error message "The synchronous pptp option is NOT activated" has something to do wiht it. is there an option to set this in the settings? i'd try that. ..
[01:25] <pyrak> bash command to unset a variable?
[01:25] <matrixblue> bluejeans, I will try
[01:26] <Castawayz> ive never been able to get a microsoft vpn connected on linux

[01:37] <Firey> Hi
[01:37] <macman_> my sound is scratchy
[01:38] <rpk2012> hey, me again.  durring install now i get kernal panic not syncing
[01:38] <hou5ton> From googlecode.com I have downloaded the plugin for pidgin-facebookchat.  But when I go to install it, it gives me this message:  A later version is available in a software channel
[01:39] <ziroday> rpk2012: try installing with acpi=off
[01:39] <hou5ton> but .... I can't find that channel
[01:39] <matamou> So, I changed the boot order in Bios, but still my laptop wont start the dvd drive (vista installation)!
[01:39] <Firey> Hi, I'm trying to run XAMPP on a VPS with Ubuntu loaded on it. and I got this error "/etc/lsb-base-logging.sh: line 22: /dev/console: Permission denied".. Does anyone know what this means?
[01:39] <Freeaqingme_> I want to (digitally) sign a pdf file. Be it while exporting from OO.o, be it afterwards. Now I wonder; (how) can that be done?
[01:39] <malibu> unop: Ok well I ended up forcing permissions on a couple shares and that worked.... I don't understand why nothing else worked though
[01:39] <ziroday> hou5ton: it means repo, do sudo apt-get install pidgin-facebookchat :)
[01:40] <hou5ton> ziroday:  ok ... I'll try that
[01:40] <ziroday> hou5ton: then you need to restart pidgin and it facebook chat will appear as another provider.
[01:40] <sn00p-> Can you configure grub in the ubuntu install to dual boot with vista?
[01:41] <rpk2012> acpi off, where is this option?
[01:41] <Keaton> Hey, #ubuntu. Can any of you out there help me troubleshoot the network problems I'm having with this Compaq notebook? I can't get it to work, wired OR wireless, in either ubuntu's live CD or the copy of Vista it's already got on there.
[01:41] <Keaton> rpk2012: F6 on the live CD boot screen brings up a list of options, that's on there.
[01:41] <Kangarooo> sn00p-: first install windows then ubuntu and grub will be correct if ther wise then look google
[01:42] <godstar> I just did sudo rm -r on my ntfs partition. I need to recover that data! Please help :(
[01:42] <sn00p-> Kangarooo, I did that last time and ubuntu didn't dual boot
[01:42] <sn00p-> Kangarooo, erased the entire disk  when I said fo rit to only use 100gig
[01:42] <hou5ton> ziroday:  thanks again .... works like a charm
[01:42] <godstar> Any good data recovery apps for Ubuntu?
[01:42] <xlo^tomahawk__> is it possible to increase ubuntu's disksize without re-installing the whole thing + without f*cking up the rest of the files on the computer?
[01:42] <Kangarooo> sn00p-: ok if u have 1 hdd partitioned to 2 or more then it should work
[01:43] <rww> !recover > godstar
[01:43] <hmw_pidgin> sn00p-: i've seen setups with dualboot, but 0 seconds default time. Check out /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:43] <Kangarooo> sn00p-: if 2 hdd then when installing ubuntu in step 7 click advanced and put grub there where windows is
[01:43] <godstar> ubottu, please message me again
[01:43] <rww> !recover > godstar
[01:44] <godstar> rrw: I will try that and thank you.

[01:48] <ltgg> thanks ziroday

[01:55] <matamou> kronos84: yes
[01:56] <dejavou42> jrib: the file is a bash script that runs virtualbox
[01:56] <jrib> dejavou42: I have no idea.  It was just a suggestion to try so you could find out
[01:56] <purvesh> jrib: i want install vlc player in my friend pc he dont have internet

[01:56] <justinnfx> I need to know a way to get rid of ubuntu, and restore the vista boot record
[01:56] <kronos84> matamou is there anything valuable on the disk?
[01:56] <mkasson> justinnfx, I don't know the answer, but no doubt someone here does.  You might want to restate without my name on it
[01:56] <matamou> im trying to do that now with ubuntu installed, but the disk wont start (not even an Ubuntu disk)
[01:56] <remink> Someone has XFCE 4.6 ? How to get it ?!
[01:57] <matamou> no, there's not. everything has been backupped
[01:57] <mkasson> justinnfx, you try google, btw?
[01:57] <bluejeans> dejavou42, this is a no brained but... you did replace USER with your real username didn't oyu?
[01:57] <rpk2012> has anybody else gotten stuck on the bluetooth startup?
[01:57] <tt5786> well does any one know how to boot into terminal
[01:57] <rpk2012> this is where my issues started last install attempt

[01:58] <matamou> hmm, dont know that
[01:58] <Berserkur> Does anyone know the reason behind the envelope that holds Pidgin in Jaunty?
[01:58] <dejavou42> bluejeans: yeah, it's my real user name... also, the file is owned by that user and is in a group that the user is in
[01:58] <justinnfx> All I have to do is delete ubuntu off hard drive, and also find a way to restore vista boot log like before

[01:58] <tt5786> is there a way to reinstall ubuntu 8.10 from and SD card
[01:58] <dejavou42> bluejeans: I also tried replacing USER with %GROUP in the sudoers file
[01:58] <kronos84> matamou if you cant get the dvd to boot suggest you try dban and wipe the disk
[01:58] <mkasson> justinnfx, if you spent 1 minute googling you'd save 10 minutes asking
[01:58] <godstar> AFK
[01:58] <mkasson> http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p18.htm#Vista_Recovery_CD_Method

[01:59] <matamou> kronos84 what is dban?
[01:59] <jrib> purvesh: I just told you
[01:59] <mkasson> the moral hazard of IRC.
[01:59] <justinnfx> I googled it b4 it was not clear .. i would do that if it was easier
[01:59] <justinnfx> No one here has dual booted or deleted ubuntu before?
[01:59] <J-_> Does tomboy read xml files? I'm trying to use Conduit to sync tomboy notes with a folder for backup. But, when it's synced .xml files are created. No hidden files, etc.. The file structure of ~/.tomboy is totally different in my sync folder to backup the notes. If it restore the xml files with tomboy, will they still work?
[01:59] <jrib> purvesh: once you transfer the debs, you install as usual
[01:59] <matamou> oh, i google'd that.. I see
[01:59] <bluejeans> dejavou42, side issue.. but if you already own the file why the heck do you need sudo to open it?
[01:59] <mkasson> justinnfx, I googled basically using the words you used.  See the google result above
[01:59] <kronos84> matamou it is alive cd that will boot in your laptop and wipe your disk

[02:00] <jrib> rnd_null: not here, maybe in #ubuntu+1...

[02:00] <rnd_null> THX

[02:10] <sm01> noob13: hello

[02:11] <noob13> sm01: hi there
[02:11] <`Ned> can someone kick my other nic please
[02:12] <purvesh> jrib: i dont want u disturb u but i'm a now user so u can help me
[02:12] <`Ned> Ned__
[02:12] <jrib> purvesh: only if you ask a question
[02:12] <lurjking> behappy: Pidgin is stable and featureless. aMSN is featureful but an eyesore. Empathy is a last resort.
[02:12] <purvesh> jrib: i understand but i also have canon printer driver so how 2 install that SQue930LinuxText.tgz file
[02:12] <tritium> `Ned: you can remove it yourself, you know.
[02:12] <`Ned> tritium, how do I remove it?
[02:12] <purvesh> jrib: i have only that package
[02:13] <purvesh> jrib: from canon
[02:13] <lstarnes> `Ned: is it registered with nickserv?
[02:13] <`Ned> lstarnes, no it's not
[02:13] <bluejeans> dejavou42, your sudoers is just fine
[02:13] <tritium> `Ned: /msg nickserv ghost Ned__ <passwd>
[02:13] <lstarnes> tritium: it's not registered
[02:13] <`Ned> oh I have to be registered
[02:13] <lstarnes> `Ned: you must wait for it to time out on its own.  Make sure you aren't running another connection
[02:13] <tritium> There you go, `Ned.
[02:13] <bluejeans> dejavou42, maybe gksu is the culprit?
[02:13] <lstarnes> tritium: that won't disconnect it
[02:13] <`dan> hi
[02:14] <`Ned> tritium, thanks
[02:14] <`dan> can someone help me with updating via console
[02:14] <tritium> lstarnes: no, just removed from the channel
[02:14] <dejavou42> bluejeans: possibly, but if I change gk to sudo, nothing happens
[02:14] <`dan> i tried doing apt-get update but it shows a bunch of 404 not found errors
[02:14] <purvesh> jrib: what happen
[02:14] <matamou> Wow, the results are such gibberish to me, I cant find the dvd drive
[02:14] <spaceBARbarian> i cant get pamusb to detect my SD card, any ideas why ?
[02:14] <jrib> purvesh: are you sure you need it?  I just plug my printer in and turn it on and ubuntu sets it up automagically
[02:14] <`Ned> lstarnes, ok I'll just wait next time
[02:14] <bluejeans> dejavou42, whe you launch this form the terminal is the passowrd prompt immediate?
[02:15] <dejavou42> bluejeans: to use sudo, I have to add xterm -e "sudo command --options"

[02:17] <bluejeans> dejavou42, sorry but have to get offline now... :( the real world is calling
[02:17] <dejavou42> bluejeans: yes, with sudo too.
[02:17] <dejavou42> bluejeans: understand, thanks for the help though
[02:17] <eilios> I have a question, if linux is a kernel and therefore not an OS by itself, are distributions considered separate OS's under the linux group?
[02:17] <bluejeans> good luck
[02:17] <uberg00n> anyone know of a app that lets you reset the circuitry of a dell laptop battery... without taking it apart, building a special interface and learning a new scripting language?
[02:18] <Milosz> They make a Launchpad Facebook app
[02:18] <dejavou42> bluejeans: thanks
[02:18] <Milosz> erm
[02:18] <Milosz> They should make :)
[02:18] <`dan> ok, thx
[02:18] <jrib> purvesh: I don't know much about that, so check ubottu's links
[02:19] <grendelson> Just upgraded from 8.4 to 8.10 on Compaq Armada laptop and it seemed flawless - however the ESS sound card is no longer recognized at boot and it worked in 8.4
[02:19] <purvesh> jrib: ok thanks a lot
[02:19] <justfil> hey can you tell me some app which lets you chose what to run at startup
[02:19] <grendelson> I searched the forum and it seems a common event but none of the posted solutions I foudn work - Can anyone point to an ESS solution or possible workaround?
[02:19] <kronos84> eilios Linux is a OS that has a kernel that can be modified into a different distribution
[02:19] <dejavou42> justfil: just use sessions from the main menu
[02:20] <lstarnes> eilios: to some extent, yes.  The difference between linux distributions is more like the difference between different dialects of the same language
[02:20] <justfil> dejavou42: thank you
[02:20] <dejavou42> justfil: no problem
[02:20] <kronos84> eilios thin of UNIX
[02:20] <purvesh> jrib: can u say me how u find that much link in such second if u want 2 say only.
[02:20] <kronos84> eilios think

[02:21] <purvesh> jrib: ok
[02:21] <`Ned> can I orde ra CD from ubuntu every time a new version comes out?
[02:21] <`Ned> can I order a ^
[02:21] <jrib> `Ned: yes
[02:22] <`Ned> thanks
[02:22] <hou5ton> any suggestions on a good dual-pane file manager
[02:22] <lstarnes> `Ned: yes, but it may be easier to upgrade through the update manager
[02:22] <jetftwi> is it possible to boot puppy linux from usb (flash) using live usb creater of ubuntu or fedora or else
[02:22] <`Ned> lstarnes, ok I'll give it a try then
[02:22] <AK_Dave> Ned: No, you can download it and  burn the cd yourself.
[02:22] <dejavou42> hou5ton: by dual pane  you mean that it will show 2 locations at once right?
[02:23] <hou5ton> dejavou42:  yes ... two windows .... drag and drop
[02:23] <AK_Dave> jetftwi: I have been unable to get Ubuntu's CD creator to make a liveusb out of a Fedora iso or a Windows iso, so this may not be possible.
[02:23] <`Ned> dejavou42, well the others are saying I have the option of ordering it if I want
[02:24] <jetftwi> Any other means
[02:24] <ultimatelifeform> Can someone help me get my b43 wireless setup on 8.04
[02:24] <`Ned> I meant AK_Dave not dejavou42 sorry
[02:24] <Navaz> hey guys, i would like to add a new usb driver into ubuntu 8.20
[02:24] <Navaz> *8.10
[02:24] <Navaz> Can anyone help?
[02:24] <ultimatelifeform> Can someone help?\
[02:24] <AK_Dave> Ned: You can order a CD from Ubuntu, or you can download the iso and burn it yourself.
[02:24] <dejavou42> hou5ton: try gnome-commander
[02:25] <hou5ton> dejavou42:  ok ... thanks
[02:25] <MightyTweek> `Ned: be aware that if you want to do an upgrade from a CD, you need the alternate install CD. The standard installer CD only allows you to install from scratch.
[02:25] <AK_Dave> Ned: Canonical doesn't make money selling Ubuntu CDs. Odds are you can get one for free from your local user group.
[02:25] <ultimatelifeform> Can someone help?
[02:25] <jetftwi> How to make puppy linux boot from usb thumb drive
[02:26] <`Ned> MightyTweek,  so do I have to make a separate request for this alternate install CD?
[02:26] <AK_Dave> Ned: You can download it direct from www.ubuntu.com
[02:26] <`Ned> AK_Dave, oh ok
[02:26] <ultimatelifeform> Can someone help me setup my b43 wireless on 8.04?
[02:26] <kronos84> ultimate what you tryin to do?
[02:27] <ultimatelifeform> trying to setup my b43xx wireless
[02:27] <RedWar> Where can I find a listing of ubuntu user groups?
[02:27] <grendelson> While trying to troubleshoot my ESS sound not working I get this "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found" while following the sound troubleshooting guide - any pointers on what kernel tweaks to use to get sound device recognized again ( it worked under 8.4)
[02:27] <ultimatelifeform> on Kubuntu 8.04
[02:27] <MightyTweek> `Ned: I'm not sure if you can request the alternate CD from ShipIt
[02:27] <jetftwi> any one please Is it possible to boot puppy linux from usb
[02:27] <`Ned> oh
[02:27] <ultimatelifeform> Can someone help?
[02:27] <kronos84> is it not being recognized?
[02:27] <ultimatelifeform> Nope
[02:28] <`Ned> I guess I'll just download it...hope I don't mess up like I did when I tried to download 8.10
[02:28] <AK_Dave> ultimatelifeform: Have you done any google inquiry on 'b43 ubuntu'
[02:28] <kronos84> ultimate can you tell me brand and full model?
[02:28] <gnup9999> yes
[02:28] <ultimatelifeform> AK_Dave: I've done "b43 driver. ubuntu 8.04"
[02:29] <ultimatelifeform> I'll be back. Let me reboot.
[02:29] <MightyTweek> `Ned: If you have a fast internet connection and you're just upgrading to the new version, there is no reason to download anything. Update Manager will walk you through the upgrade
[02:29] <AK_Dave> ultimatelifeform: Its a kernel module not a driver. Confirm thats what you really need by doing 'lspci' and parsing it for the line for your wifi adapter. Confirm the exact chipset being reported. Thats what you need to match with the appropriate kernel module.
[02:30] <`Ned> MightyTweek, oh I see...not sure if I my connection is fast or not...I got roadrunner
[02:30] <AK_Dave> ultimatelifeform: In all likelihood, there are about a dozen steps you need to do to make a b43 broadcom chipset wifi card work in linux, none of them technical, and all of them EXTREMELY well documented on the web in short easy to follow steps.
[02:31] <AK_Dave> Ned: JUst out of curiosity, what version of Ubuntu are you going from and what version do you want to go to?
[02:31] <MightyTweek> `Ned: yes, you can just do a regular upgrade
[02:32] <RedMushroom> is there a "sudo apt-get install ..." that i can use to setup LAMP on ubuntu8.1?
[02:32] <`Ned> AK_Dave, I'm currently on 8.10...I want to be prepared to upgrade to 9.04 when it's stable
[02:32] <lstarnes> RedMushroom: maybe sudo tasksel install lamp-server
[02:32] <AK_Dave> Ned: Wait until it is released. Right now it is really dicey to attempt a dist-upgrade to Jaunty. If it doesn't work, you will have to reinstall from scratch. Better to just wait.
[02:32] <sultanselephant> -
[02:33] <RedMushroom> Istarnes: why tasksel instead of apt-get?
[02:33] <`Ned> AK_Dave, yeah I can wait
[02:33] <lstarnes> RedMushroom: because tasksel selects tasks or collections of packages instead of just packages
[02:33] <RedMushroom> ok thanks

[02:39] <eilios> Hello, do any of you have experience with "Game creator"?
[02:39] <dsdeiz> tnx
[02:39] <`Ned> why is it that when I open the terminal in ubuntu 8.10, the 'copy' option isn't clickable? Sometimes I want to copy the output and I can't do it...unless the output is short enough...then I can just copy with the mouse
[02:39] <ultimatelifeform> kronos84: Is Kubuntu 9.04 going to have a custom image aranged with KDE 3?

[02:40] <tomvolek_> I need to install Oracle server on my laptop running Ubuntu .  Is there a .deb build somewhere ?
[02:41] <`dan> hmm... the upgrade instuctions are not working...
[02:41] <joozhu> hello elky
[02:41] <`dan> i'm supposed to upgrade to 7.10 first right?
[02:41] <joozhu> hello FloodBot2
[02:41] <kronos84> tomvolek checked oracle site yet?
[02:42] <`dan> No valid mirror found
[02:42] <`dan> While scanning your repository information no mirror entry for the upgrade was found.This can happen if you run a internal mirror or if the mirror information is out of date.
[02:42] <andrewfree> Could someone help me
[02:42] <joozhu> hello
[02:42] <joozhu> i want ask something
[02:43] <joozhu> hello..hello
[02:43] <kronos84> andrew sup?
[02:43] <Ramesses> my eeepc forgets doesn't remember the power history; it seems it didn't store any of the previous power timings [charge/discharge times]; can anyone help me with this, please?
[02:43] <PhotoJim> !ask | joozhu
[02:43] <tomvolek_> kronos84 yes, i have , i am downloading a linux distribution.  I guess i can run it. but was hoping to find a native ubuntu build
[02:43] <joozhu> i need free shell account
[02:43] <lstarnes> joozhu: you won't find any here
[02:43] <veritos> I've got some stuff that I compiled and installed to /usr/local along with the associated .desktop files in /usr/local/share/applications. How would I get my Gnome menu to show those .desktop:s too?
[02:44] <joozhu> so, where i want to get it ?
[02:44] <kronos84> tom is that a .deb?
[02:44] <BoondokLife> joozhu: have you tried google?
[02:44] <`dan> i guess its not finding anything because i had to change my sources.list to the old-releases thing?
[02:44] <PhotoJim> joozhu: the only way I'm aware to get a free shell account is to install Linux or BSD on a machine of your own.  Poof, free shell account.  Or you can pay for a virtual private server from a commercial provider.  
[02:44] <`Ned> joozhu,  good luck finding it anywhere
[02:44] <eilios> Does anybody have experience with "game creator"?
[02:45] <joozhu> PhotoJim, i need free,not pay :D
[02:45] <joozhu> he he he
[02:45] <tomvolek_> koronos84  , it is down downloading at the moment... no its not a .deb file
[02:45] <joozhu> `Ned,
[02:45] <`Ned> PhotoJim,  cool I didn't know that...I want one
[02:45] <BoondokLife> joozhu: I know there are some free ones on google, but that would depend on what you need to do. If you are looking for a all open play ground then yea good luck, but for simple services there are quite a few.
[02:45] <lstarnes> joozhu: most free ones suck, but there are some pretty good ones that aren't very expensive
[02:46] <PhotoJim> joozhu: Sorry, I don't know of any providers who will give you an account for free.  They cost money to provide, so people want to recover their costs.
[02:46] <kronos84> tom kk let me know how it goes plz?
[02:46] <PhotoJim> `Ned: it's probably offtopic here, so /msg me if you want to discuss.
[02:46] <`Ned> PhotoJim,  oh yeah I forgot lol
[02:46] <rww> joozhu: 1) Shell accounts are offtopic for this channel, ask in #ubuntu-offtopic. 2) I've used SDF.lonestar.org and bshellz, and both work fine for me.
[02:47] <joozhu> o.k
[02:47] <joozhu> o.k

[03:00] <BigMike> I just want to install ubuntu on the 1420
[03:01] <BigMike> the regualar one wont detect wifi
[03:01] <BoondokLife> BigMike: I am running the default ubuntu 8.10 and it is working fine out of the box!
[03:02] <BoondokLife> BigMike: Typing to you on it right now via the wifi =P
[03:02] <BigMike> on the 1420 dell?
[03:02] <brad__> any recommended streaming apps to send video/music to my xbox 360?  I saw ushare/and twonky and tversity.. but was wondering if there was anything newer out there that people recommend?
[03:02] <BigMike> ok
[03:02] <BoondokLife> yup
[03:03] <BigMike> ok i tried the 7.10 didnt work
[03:03] <BigMike> will try that ty
[03:03] <Mike_lifeguard> I'm having trouble getting my wireless network adapter to work. When I first installed Ubuntu it Just Worked.. but now it doesn't recognize any networks. I've had a poke at trying to restart nm-applet and I've tried 'sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart' to no avail :\
[03:03] <BoondokLife> BigMike: I know both 8.04 and 8.10 work fine for me
[03:03] <BigMike> i can do a wubi install till I get a new dvd to burn I guess
[03:05] <joozhu> wajja
[03:05] <zcat[1]> How's the hosts file supposed to work? I added an entry for a site I want to block, and if I ping it by name I get 127.0.0.1 instead of the real site .. but if I type 'hosts foo.com' it resolves to the real IP, as does firefox..
[03:05] <BigMike> ok i just cant wifi to work on it
[03:05] <tsLight> how can I know for how long I have been connected to the internet? (DSL)
[03:05] <BigMike> ok so might as well go for the 8.10
[03:05] <zcat[1]> OR is there ans easier way to block a bunch of sites on a host without setting up any sort of proxy.
[03:05] <wesley> hello Linux people
[03:05] <wesley> i need help...
[03:05] <kronos84> Brad did you look at VLC?
[03:05] <BigMike> ty
[03:05] <zcat[1]> tsLight, well, DSL is always up.. so 'uptime' perhaps?
[03:05] <brad__> kronos84: vlc will stream to the 360?
[03:05] <joozhu> !ask
[03:05] <BoondokLife> BigMike: 8.10 uses the wifi light correctly too but 8.04 does not
[03:05] <tsLight> zcat[1], time since I dialed
[03:05] <Mike_lifeguard> iwconfig shows me the network... but it's not connecting properly
[03:05] <BigMike> BoondokLife does your mic work and webcam?
[03:06] <kronos84> brad it should look at client to recieve on 360
[03:06] <BoondokLife> BigMike: I have not tried them, sorry
[03:06] <BigMike> ok
[03:06] <Mike_lifeguard> hmm, 'sudo lshw -C network' says the device is turned off O-o
[03:07] <Mike_lifeguard> How would I turn it back on?
[03:07] <BigMike> easier to get the web cam to work than the mic likely lol
[03:08] <zcat[1]> tsLight, I guess if you're using pppoa it'll be in the logs somewhere and perhaps network manager keeps track of the connection time?
[03:08] <BigMike> my duaghter is tired of vista crashing an rebooting over and over on her computer
[03:08] <tiberius_> anyone use Sys::Virt / perl libvirt extensions on 8.10 ?  I am getting a lot of errors from CPAN trying to install Sys::Virt
[03:08] <armenb> hey...i'm having some trouble with a webcam in ubuntu.
[03:08] <zcat[1]> BigMike, upgrade to seven? ;)
[03:08] <PhotoJim> BigMike: the Vista problem is off topic here, but Vista is not that terrible.  there is a good chance you have a hardware issue on her machine that will give you trouble with Ubuntu too.
[03:08] <kronos84> bigmike move her to another OS?
[03:08] <palomer> how do I find out my ubuntu version?
[03:09] <matrixblue> Having problems connecting to a VPN. This is the log I'm getting http://paste.ubuntu.com/149238/
[03:09] <armenb> basically, does ubuntu-server come with the same programs that ubuntu-desktop comes with?
[03:09] <tsLight> zcat[1], any command for the console?
[03:09] <BoondokLife> BigMike: Haha yea i hear ya.
[03:09] <facedown> How smart is Ubuntu in regards to upgrading hardware such as mobo/processor?
[03:09] <zcat[1]> tsLight, probably, but none I'm familiar with
[03:09] <tsLight> zcat[1], ok
[03:09] <BigMike> yes however its a good it might be off topic but its a good thing she wants to try linux
[03:09] <sunapi386> hello, im trying to vnc to home over ssh.. is this correct? ssh -L localhost:5900:192.168.0.100:5900 -p 443 bin@206.53.58.21
[03:10] <BigMike> no operating system is perfect
[03:10] <ultimatelifeform> Except Kubuntu.
[03:10] <kronos84> bigmike burn her a live cd of knoppix
[03:10] <BigMike> lol
[03:10] <zcat[1]> facedown, You can take a drive from one machine and stick it into a completely different machine./. as long as it's not a totally different archetecture, usually the only thing you have to fix up is video drivers and xconfig
[03:10] <choonming> sunapi386: are trying to create a tunnel?
[03:10] <BigMike> knoppix will work good in the dell?? sounds good
[03:10] <facedown> zcat[1]: ah. cool
[03:10] <facedown> i know xp usually needs to be reinstalled
[03:11] <matrixblue> facedown, plus WGA issues
[03:11] <sunapi386> choonming; well, see, im trying to tunnel all traffic trough dns, then im trying to setup ssh over dns so i can tunnel vnc over ssh
[03:11] <facedown> WGA? activation?
[03:11] <facedown> windows g.. activation?
[03:11] <BigMike> all I know ubuntu has run well in my gateway cept it wont detect the mic is all
[03:12] <PhotoJim> BigMike: she should absolutely try Ubuntu.  just watch for hardware issues.  if you have trouble with Ubuntu also, you have a computer issue.
