[00:00] <qpt> HEY YO ... Q P T (MY DICK IS REALLY BIG)
[00:00] <qpt> HEY YO ... Q P T (MY DICK IS REALLY BIG)
[00:00] <Gelegrodan> mnaines1: fucking joke questions :)
[00:00] <qpt> HEY YO ... Q P T (MY DICK IS REALLY BIG)
[00:00] <qpt> HEY YO ... Q P T (MY DICK IS REALLY BIG)
[00:00] <ActionParsnip> ryan122: http://www.lpi.org/
[00:00] <mnaines1> So I take it nobody knows about ramdisks?
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> ryan122: first thing ni www.google.com when you search for linux certification
[00:01] <rsk> mnaines1: i have a ramdisk made of my GPU if that counts
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> mnaines1: some
[00:01] <stefg> Graham_: you might need to reboot the Live CD. the kernal might not have noticed the new partition scheme.
[00:01] <ryan122> right now, i have a choice of taking the LPI cert via my union.  but i dont want to waste my time and money if i wouldnt be able to get a job after completing it.
[00:01] <mnaines1> rsk, I have been asking if Ubuntu Jaunty supports ramdisks and if I can use a SecureDigital card as a ramdisk
[00:01] <rsk> mnaines1: sounds doable
[00:01] <Ztqc_qMe671> HEY YO ... Q P T (I'm throwing up gang signs)
[00:02] <Ztqc_qMe671> HEY YO ... Q P T (My dick is really big)
[00:02] <Ztqc_qMe671> HEY YO ... Q P T (I'm throwing up gang signs)
[00:02] <RebelZero> !ops | Ztqc_qMe671
[00:02] <Graham_> stefg: ok, I'll be right back. thanks very much for you help upto now. its massively appreciated. be right back.
[00:02] <rsk> mnaines1: probably no a>z guide made for that thou.
[00:02] <Ztqc_qMe671> HEY YO ... Q P T (My dick is really big)
[00:02] <robert__> is there a .img file for regular ubuntu? i don't like remix
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> ryan122: i'd suggest lpi, just look at what jobs expect and go for that]
[00:02] <rsk> robert__: there is one on www.ubuntu.com
[00:02] <rsk> oh .img..
[00:02] <mtlife>  hey for some reason my gdm.conf is gone, and i cant restore it with dpkg-reconfigure gdm. How do i get my default gdm.conf back?
[00:02] <ryan122> thanks guys,
[00:02] <christopher> how do i adjust my monitor resolution...there is only two options when i select it
[00:02] <robert__> rsk, i meant one i can put on my flash drive and install
[00:03] <mnaines1> rsk, how do you do a swap partition on a solid-state drive?
[00:03] <toast_> j #magento
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> mtlife: sudo apt-get --reinstall install gdm
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> mnaines1: same as a traditional hdd
[00:03] <co> hey. I wonder if there is some kind on application that automatically creates an interner connection for you
[00:03] <linxeh> robert__: unetbootin should let you install any iso you want onto a flash drive
[00:03] <co> that I wont have to do anything
[00:03] <linxeh> mnaines1: you could use a swap file ?
[00:03] <H8sMikeMoore> co: its called network manager
[00:03] <robert__> oh ok thanks
[00:03] <mnaines1> ActionParsnip: the problem with SSDs is they do not overwrite previously-used sectors
[00:03] <christopher> Question: How do I adjust monitor resolution
[00:03] <robert__> linxeh, thanks
[00:04] <mnaines1> linxeh: I have enough RAM I don't need a swap
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> mnaines1: true this is to prolong the life
[00:04] <christopher> Only two resolutions are available under display preferences
[00:04] <Quarterstaff> ryan122 You may find this of some help http://www.proprofs.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8478
[00:04] <mtlife> ActionParsnip: still no gdm.conf in /etc/gdm/
[00:05] <H8sMikeMoore> if theres only two resolutions, then thats all there is
[00:05] <H8sMikeMoore> mtlife: usually theres a .conf.bak in the same folder
[00:05] <mnaines1> ActionParsnip: can Linux run without a swap partition?
[00:05] <bork> When trying to resize an ntfs partition in the Ubuntu installer partitioner, I get the error "An error occured while writing the changes to the storage devices. The resize operation has been aborted". Any ideas what is wrong?
[00:05] <christopher> i'm trying to install a different driver
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> mtlife: http://pastebin.com/m5a0554b9
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> mtlife: no gdm.conf file
[00:06] <sebsebseb> mnaines1: yep you can run it without  swap,   but  if you want to hibernate and maybe it's suspsend as well,   that's when you  need swap,  and normalley twice your RAM,   or so they say
[00:07] <mtlife> ActionParsnip: yes, but when i start gdm now it says 'there are no servers defined, this is a configuration problem'
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: hibernate is over rated
[00:07] <mnaines1> sebsebseb: I don't usually do hibernate or suspend...If anything, I either do a complete shutdown or leave it running
[00:07] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: ???
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> mtlife: have you websearched the error message?
[00:08] <mtlife> ActionParsnip: yes, did not get any satisfying results
[00:08] <mnaines1> sebsebseb: I have 4GB of RAM, and I am looking to upgrade to 8GB of RAM...Is that enough to run Ubuntu Jaunty without a swap?
[00:08] <th0r> sebsebseb: I would have to agree with ActionParsnip, I don't use either hibernate or suspend...too many headaches
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> mnaines1: depends on yur needs
[00:08] <celthunder> mnaines1, depends what you are doing with it
[00:09] <mnaines1> ActionParsnip: Most of my needs are light use...I do play Warzone2100 now and then but mostly its chat, music, or web surfing
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> mnaines1: if you intend to render 3d animations then you will need swap, if you intend to use web browsers and chat clients then you will be fine. there is no definitive answer
[00:09] <mnaines1> ActionParsnip: The only thing I would need the swap for then is when I play Warzone2100
[00:09] <pagefault> for just web crap 1gb is enough for no swap
[00:09] <roRisc> what is a good C / C++ UNIX programming channel?
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> mnaines1: then 8gb is far and away more than you will ever need, even if you ran all the apps you names concurrently
[00:09] <pagefault> 4gb would be more than enough
[00:09] <sebsebseb> mnaines1: last time I did  sleep/suspend it sort of worked or whatever,   but  I  don't bother  with  trying again or  getting it working more properly,  oh sure it works  perfectly in Vista, since this  PC was made for Vista,   but  I hardly go on that anymore :)  ( in  fact  I went on  the other day after  not  doing that for about a year or so )
[00:10] <celthunder> mnaines1 warzone2100 doesnt use that much ram...
[00:10] <mnaines1> celthunder: So 8GB with no swap would be more than enough for my needs?
[00:10] <pagefault> if you can't run ubuntu on 8gb without swap it has a problem
[00:10] <celthunder> mnaines1, yes
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> mnaines1: any unused ram for apps will be used as disk cache to make disk access appear faster
[00:10] <sebsebseb> mnaines1: I  guess  I should give it a  try since   on Karmic now
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> mnaines1: 4gb is already more than enough i'd save your money and not upgrade
[00:11] <mnaines1> ActionParsnip: Does the RAM latency make a difference in performance?
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> mnaines1: i can do all that stuff with 1gb ram on a 3000 am2 sempern without any issues
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> mnaines1: in ram intensive situations yes. in casual system use, no not really
[00:12] <trece8> hi, I have to make a bootable windows CD, I have all the files and copied that to the project in k3b ... how do I make it "bootable"? (Or does it just work anyway) - sorry if this question seems a little out of context here -
[00:12] <unop> roRisc,  start with #c and #c++
[00:12] <mnaines1> ActionParsnip: This machine is a quad-core tower with 4GB of RAM and a 10,000rpm Raptor drive...I used it as my Vista gaming box before I moved to Ubuntu
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> mnaines1: you dont need the ram
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> trece8: look into bartpe
[00:13] <mindos> ibuclaw .. ?
[00:14] <mnaines1> ActionParsnip: I currently have 5-5-5-12-2T RAM, but I want to upgrade to 4-4-4-12-2T RAM...Would it be a waste of money?
[00:14] <graham__> stefg: back
[00:14] <linxeh> pagefault: I have ubuntu boxes with 64gb ram, and desperately need swap. without knowing what people do on their boxes you can't make comments like that :P
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> if all you do is chat browse and warzone2100 then yes
[00:14] <Dworthy_DING> I JUST FUCT A SHEEP
[00:14] <trece8> bartpe?
[00:14] <graham__> stefg: if you can cut & paste last command I'll try again.
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> trece8: yep, go websearch
[00:15] <stefg> Graham_: mdadm -C /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
[00:15] <pagefault> linxeh, heh well I was assuming a typical usage scenario, of course all results vary :)
[00:15] <linxeh> :)
[00:15] <cN-WDOWNzu> trece8, are you doing it on ubuntu?
[00:15] <rupert> i've just set up a network printer on ubuntu 9.04. the test page is printed about 2cm too high (so that the top of it is missing, and there's a gap at the bottom of the page). How can I fix that?
[00:15] <melomane> hi, is "cups" related to printers? i have no printer on my system , can i remove cups packages? everytime i update ubuntu, i have to wait a lot for updateing cups
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> linxeh: 64Gb ram?
[00:15] <stefg> graham__: you need to be root ... sudo -i
[00:15] <trece8> googled it already, well... that doesn't have anything to do with what I said :S
[00:15] <Dworthy_DING> HEY YO ... Q P T [_ding_] (I'm throwing up gang signs)
[00:15] <dennispudwill> Can anyone tell me how to get a acer netbook apsire one to boot from flash drive or external hard drive, I tried tapping f12 put it does not work, trying to install remix
[00:15] <trece8> Yes, cN-WDOWNzu
[00:15] <linxeh> ActionParsnip: uhuh, we have some debian boxes with 256GB
[00:15] <mnaines1> linxeh, my usage is typical use - chat, web surfing, and Warzone2100/Tremulous
[00:15] <Dworthy_DING> HEY YO ... Q P T [_ding_] (My dick is really big)
[00:15] <Dworthy_DING> HEY YO ... Q P T [_ding_] (I'm throwing up gang signs)
[00:15] <Dworthy_DING> HEY YO ... Q P T [_ding_] (My dick is really big)
[00:15] <Dworthy_DING> HEY YO ... Q P T [_ding_] (I'm throwing up gang signs)
[00:15] <cN-WDOWNzu> trece8, you are just trying to burn an iso?
[00:15] <werti_rus> ahaha
[00:16] <stefg> Graham__: mdadm -C /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
[00:16] <pagefault> mnaines1, I can do all those on 1gb on my netbook with no swap
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> linxeh: nice. we have sql boxes with a bit more at work :)
[00:16] <trece8> The problem is that it's not an iso
[00:16] <trece8> it's a .rar file with all the files inside
[00:16] <mnaines1> pagefault: I max out the framerates on both games with this setup
[00:16] <melomane> any idea about cups?
[00:16] <linxeh> ActionParsnip: this are just rack servers, the superdomes go up to 2TB
[00:16] <pagefault> mnaines1, more ram isn't going to help your framerate
[00:16] <trece8> but not an image... I don't know if it should work just like that or not... I tried, but I don't trust the CD drive
[00:16] <graham__> stefg: The program 'mdadm' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[00:16] <trece8> (I mean: didn't work just writing the files)
[00:17] <mnaines1> pagefault, I know...This setup as it sits maxes out the performance of both games, so I don't need to worry about that
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> linxeh: most have 2Gb. 2Tb is a bit OTT
[00:17] <rupert> melomane: yes, cups is about printing
[00:17] <cN-WDOWNzu> trece8, you are trying to make it bootable
[00:17] <linxeh> ActionParsnip: depends what you do on them :)
[00:17] <pagefault> mnaines1, you have more than enough with 4gb, I would only be concerned if you start using gimp with large images
[00:17] <trece8> exactly
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> linxeh: true
[00:17] <graham__> stefg: apt-get install mdadm?
[00:17] <stefg> graham__: right ...
[00:17] <mnaines1> pagefault, I am a professional photographer, and I routinely take photos at 2544x1966 resolution
[00:18] <mnaines1> Is that small enough for 4GB to support?
[00:18] <cN-WDOWNzu> trece8, google is your friend :/  i know nero useowsd to be able to do that in windbl
[00:18] <linxeh> mnaines1: i'm an amateur and routinely take images far bigger than that
[00:18] <linxeh> :p
[00:18] <owen1> is openoffice3 in ubuntu's repositories (jaunty)
[00:18] <danbhfive> mtlife: I don't know if your question got answered, but maybe you need to purge the package.  The gdm.conf is in that package
[00:18] <trece8> But how k3b or brasero does that? I googled and didn't found a thing
[00:18] <pagefault> mnaines1, well you might just make it with that much, depending on what filters you are using you may require a tiny bit of swap dealing with large photographs
[00:18] <linxeh> mnaines1: admittedly, your camera is likely better than mine
[00:18] <linxeh> and you'll know how to use it :)
[00:18] <mnaines1> linxeh: my camera is a Canon PowerShot A530
[00:18] <linny> anyone know any applications to sync a win mobile handset to nix ?
[00:19] <graham__> stefg: now says - mdadm: array /dev/md0 started.
[00:19] <linxeh> mnaines1: and you use that as a professional photographer?
[00:19] <mnaines1> For now, yes
[00:19] <stefg> graham__: good ...
[00:19] <linxeh> ouch
[00:19] <cN-WDOWNzu> :O
[00:19] <dennispudwill> can anyone help me with installing remix on a netbook, I downloaded and save it to an external harddrive and flash drive, I can't get the netbook to boot from eitherone
[00:19] <stefg> Graham__: mdadm -C /dev/md1 --level=0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2
[00:19] <pagefault> if you start dealing with 12mp images I would get 8gb if you plan on not using swap
[00:20] <mnaines1> linxeh, which is faster as a RAMDISK, standard memory or flash memory?
[00:20] <melomane> rupert: so can i remove it while i have no printers?
[00:20] <graham__> stefg: mdadm: array /dev/md1 started.
[00:20] <jpds> stefg: RAID 0?
[00:20] <linxeh> mnaines1: that question doesnt make sense - only standard memory can be used as a ramdisk
[00:20] <trece8> How do I make a bootable CD with k3b or brasero?
[00:20] <stefg> Graham__: mdadm -C /dev/md2 --level=0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb3
[00:20] <^c|0ud^> can anyone help me with a pptpd server issue, seems that I can connect to my vpn fine, and access all my servers except my main router? Also I am unable to use the internet while connected to the vpn, within windows I have to uncheck the remote gateway option
[00:20] <mnaines1> linxeh, so you can't use FlashRAM chips as a ramdisk?
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> dennispudwill: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-x-ubuntu-610/   works with any iso
[00:21] <linxeh> mnaines1: but, SRAM is far faster than DRAM. few systems have SRAM though
[00:21] <spO> what if you want to use an older version than ubuntu likes,   how do you make it so you don't get notified of upgrades for that one single package that you want to keep old?
[00:21] <graham__> stefg: mdadm: array /dev/md2 started.
[00:21] <linxeh> mnaines1: you'd use flashram as a normal filesystem
[00:21] <spO> older version of a package
[00:21] <stefg> Graham__: and finally  mdadm -C /dev/md3 --level=0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda4 /dev/sdb4
[00:21] <owen1> is openoffice3 in ubuntu's repositories (jaunty)? how to install it?
[00:21] <linxeh> mnaines1: and flash is much slower than dram
[00:21] <herenbdy> hello, when creating your own package with checkinstall, how can you tell checkinstall where to put the created .deb file?
[00:21] <mnaines1> Linxeh, can Ubuntu boot from securedigital memory cards?
[00:21] <cN-WDOWNzu> sudo apt-get install openoffice
[00:22] <jpds> owen1: I think it's installed by default.
[00:22] <graham__> stefg: mdadm: array /dev/md3 started.
[00:22] <owen1> jpds: i don't have it
[00:22] <^c|0ud^> can anyone help me with my vpn issue
[00:22] <bork> When trying to resize an ntfs partition in the Ubuntu installer partitioner, I get the error "An error occured while writing the changes to the storage devices. The resize operation has been aborted". Any ideas what is wrong?
[00:22] <owen1> jpds: and sudo aptitude install openoffice.org-3.0 can't locate it.
[00:22] <danbhfive> bork: your system may be toast
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> owen1: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-1-on-Ubuntu-9-04-111105.shtml
[00:23] <dennispudwill> so can I not us 9.04 remix on netbook?
[00:23] <^c|0ud^> dennis I do
[00:23] <bork> danbhfive: i bought the computer today =P
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> bork: did you shutdown properly
[00:23] <danbhfive> bork: well, sorry, not your whole system, just the data on it
[00:23] <mnaines1> ActionParsnip: I found a hard drive that only draws 1.5W when active and has a sustained throughput of 87 megabytes per second
[00:23] <stefg> graham__: alright. so now the raptors are set up as a raid array. md0 will be /boot (raid1),  md1 will be / (raid0), md2 will be swap (raid0) , md3 will be /home (raid0)
[00:23] <mtlife> ActionParsnip: i dont know WHY you do not have a gdm.conf but my gdm seems to be working fine with a config i picked up from the internet. So WHY isnt there a default gdm config in the package?
[00:23] <herenbdy> nevremind
[00:23] <herenbdy> found it, --pkadir
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> mnaines1: nice
[00:24] <linxeh> mnaines1: yes, depending on the card / reader
[00:24] <linxeh> mnaines1: and the bios on the machine
[00:24] <mnaines1> linxeh, I have a Toshiba Satellite A205 series laptop...It says in the BIOS it can boot from USB, LAN, CD, HDD, and Floppy
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> mtlife: no idea. it works so i dont argue with it. let me find
[00:24] <danbhfive> owen1: Im running jaunty, and openoffice 3 is in package openoffice.org
[00:24] <dennispudwill> Action:  I'm having problems with booting from my external hard drive, haven't been able to install anything, I want to use a dual boot system  on if its possible
[00:24] <bork> danbhfive: the windows installer ran, so I think it is working
[00:25] <danbhfive> bork: ActionParsnip is probably correct, that you didn't shut down properly
[00:25] <graham__> stefg: ok. so now should just be case of running install, telling  current partitions what they are and letting it roll?
[00:25] <mnaines1> linxeh: However, I do not know if it can boot from the memory card slot or the ExpressCard slot
[00:25] <linxeh> mnaines1: try it and see :)
[00:25] <tikka> awesome
[00:25] <jpds> stefg: Why are you telling him to use RAID 0 though?
[00:25] <Luig1> I heard one of the latest releases of Ubuntu uses (or will use) ext4 by default. Does this apply when one updates to that release, or only to a clean install?
[00:25] <linxeh> mnaines1: on my machines USB flash drives count as an extra hdd
[00:25] <coldReactive42> Problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1248092
[00:25] <stefg> graham__: take not of that.. now you're going to start the real install with the alternate cd. once you get to the partitioning part you can instantly choose 'activate raid' and tell the installer what we had in mind. Don't use the installer from the CD you're running now
[00:25] <linxeh> mnaines1: I'd assume that CF would be similar
[00:25] <tikka> :D
[00:25] <linxeh> mnaines1: or SD etc
[00:26] <bork> danbhfive: why would not shutting down properly cause a problem?
[00:26] <danbhfive> Luig1: there might be a way to upgrade, but I don't think it will work as well as a clean install
[00:26] <mnaines1> linxeh: I plan on it...I'm looking for a high-speed FlashRAM card for SecureDigital slot
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> Luig1: no, you can convert to ext4 you do not get the full benefit of ext4 witha converted fs
[00:26] <stefg> jpds: we discussed that earlier, he knows what he's doing (there'S another disk in that system for backups)
[00:27] <mnaines1> linxeh: Fastest one I can find so far is 30MB/sec
[00:27] <jpds> stefg: Aha.
[00:27] <danbhfive> bork: because linux doesn't support ntfs perfectly.  If the shutdown is bad, the partition is marked as such, and linux will refuse to touch it
[00:27] <linxeh> mnaines1: I'd check the capacity that the slot can read first - some can only read up to 1GB cards
[00:27] <graham__> stefg: not it wrote down. only thing I'm now unsure of is exactly what to install into the tiny /boot partition and what to put into the /root partition?  I'm assuming I flag the /boot as the partition to boot from.
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> mtlife: /etc/dbus-1/system.d/gdm.conf
[00:27] <mnaines1> linxeh: Mine has no limit...I run 2GB cards in it no problem...
[00:27] <graham__> stefg: sorry meant *got it wrote down.
[00:27] <linxeh> mnaines1: thats pretty fast. bear in mind it wont suffer from track seeking that a hdd does, so it should be much faster under normal usage
[00:27] <^c|0ud^> Can anyone help me with an issue I am having with pptpd server I am running?
[00:27] <spO> i would like to install and keep wine 1.0.1  but if i install that version, then i will keep on getting notifications to upgrade to version 1.1.28 , how can i make it so for that package only, i don't get notifications?
[00:27] <mnaines1> linxeh: Is Class 6 the current class of memory cards?
[00:28] <bork> danbhfive: I see! I hadn't finished installing completely, so maybe that is it. Thanks!
[00:28] <graham__> stefg and ubuntu will know what to do with the /root partition.?
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> mtlife: http://pastebin.com/f67888aef

[00:28] <tikka> What's the time Mr Wolf
[00:28] <graham__> stefg: and finally, bacause the boot partitions are mirrored, it should only need to write grub to one of them as it will automatically be mirrored to other?

[00:29] <mtlife> ActionParsnip: what version of ubuntu is that?
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> sp0: if you have the wine repos added then you shouldnt have that issue
[00:29] <stefg> graham__: when running the alternate install now you are on your own unless you have a second computer to connect to this cahnnel. the idea is  that you skip the actual partitioning (we did this) and just tell the installer to use md0 for /boot, md1 for / , md2 for swao, and md3 for /home
[00:29] <jpds> graham__: If you're using RAID 0 for it, it's NOT mirrored.
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> mtlife: karmic but has been upgraded through from intrepid
[00:29] <graham__> stefg: sorry for all questions. just feel that this time, with your help, I may finally be close to having this setup and nearly working - so don't want to screwup on final steps.
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> jpds: neither is it technically raid ;)
[00:30] <kellykel> What do i do if when installing something it say wrong architecture 'i386'
[00:30] <th0r> spO: highlight the wine entry in synaptic, click on Package and check Lock Version
[00:30] <mtlife> ActionParsnip: i'm on hardy.. maybe gdm is somehow different in karmic?
[00:30] <linxeh> kellykel: get teh right architecture
[00:30] <jpds> ActionParsnip: Yeah, well, hardware RAID FTW.
[00:30] <kellykel> is that a joke
[00:30] <kellykel> or do you mean it
[00:31] <stefg> graham__: so you are aware that you have to reboot now and install from the other (alternate) CD ?
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> jpds: true but raid0 has no redundancy which is what R in raid stands for
[00:31] <graham__> stefg: ok. I'm ready to roll. thanks very much for you time its greatly appreciated. This irc channel and the people that populate it to help and advise is fantastic. you offer a great service. I just I could buy you a gallon of beer.
[00:31] <Stormx2`> kellykel, the page you've installed is for a different architecture to the one you're running. Find a package for your arch or compile from source
[00:31] <arand> Does ~/ default to 755 in ubuntu? (And where would I find documentation on that?)
[00:31] <maco> arand: yes, just like debian
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> arand: ls -la ~/ | less
[00:32] <coz_> hey guys
[00:32] <graham__> stefg: yes. doing it now. just wanted to say thanks.  if it fails, I'll have to ask missus nicely if she'll move off of facebook for 10 minutes and I'll try connect there. thanks again.
[00:32] <digital8080> is this the right room to ask about pidgin google talk configuration?
[00:32] <genii> kellykel: Usually that error happens when you have downloaded a .deb file for 32bit when you have 64 bit system, for instance. The solution as linxeh suggests is to find the 64bit (in this example)
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> digital8080: indeed
[00:32] <coz_> once again  let me see if anyone knows what would be the problem...two systems...both ubuntu 9.04  with complete updates...the scsi system is running kernel 2.6.28-13-generic but the other system is running  kernel 2.6.28-15-generic
[00:32] <kellykel> i tried another and it said Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: smc-data (= 1.8-1~getdeb1)
[00:33] <arand> ActionParsnip: Yea, but it's randomly been set to 777, that's why I wondered...
[00:33] <jatt> in which files does pidgin store its configuration?
[00:33] <arand> maco: Cheers
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> arand: the chmod it for security
[00:33] <jatt> I tried the .pidgin directory but it doesn't exist
[00:33] <th0r> jatt: .purple
[00:33] <tikka> roar
[00:34] <mnaines1> ActionParsnip: Would 30MB/sec sustained access speed be fast enough for my needs?
[00:34] <tikka> Hi alanz0r
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> kellykel: you can instal 32bit debs provided you have ia32-libs installed. Its strongly advised to install 64bit packages if you can
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> mnaines1: sure
[00:34] <kellykel> the second was a 64 bit
[00:35] <JK3MP> *
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> mnaines1: basic web browsing neds a not hugely fast link, chat will run over 56k just fine
[00:35] <mnaines1> ActionParsnip: I found a hard drive that can do 87MB/sec sustained access with a power requirement of 1.5W active or 0.6W idle
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> mnaines1: sounds fine
[00:35] <mnaines1> ActionParsnip: Does a flashRAM card use that much power?
[00:35] <coldReactive42> Two Problems: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1248096 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1248092
[00:36] <RHorse>  /quit
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> mnaines1: not researched it really
[00:36] <Kapli> Hi, I just installed ubuntu with dual booting, but it made the partition only 2gb of the one i had which was 160gb and now its too small to install updates, what can I do?
[00:36] <canthus13> mnaines1: I believe that flash ram uses somewhere in the hundredths of a watt.
[00:36] <jatt> th0r: thanks
[00:37] <canthus13> Kapli: YOu can try resizing the partition using gparted.
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> mnaines1: i cant imagine its lots
[00:37] <digital8080> thanks ... should i fill the resource option?
[00:37] <Kapli> does gparted have a GUI?
[00:37] <^c|0ud^> can anyone help me with a vpn server issue I am having please and thank you
[00:37] <canthus13> Kapli: Yep.
[00:37] <Kapli> where can i find it? im in 09.04
[00:37] <canthus13> Kapli: You will ahve to install it, though, or use a live CD.
[00:37] <superboki> Kapli: some sort of partition resizer maybe? maybe gparted would work?
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> Kapli: gparted IS a gui to parted
[00:37] <konam> Kapli gparted is the gui...
[00:38] <konam> AFAIK
[00:38] <canthus13> Kapli: In fact, a live CD would be the best way to go. it shows up int he System > administration menu
[00:38] <kellykel> ActionParsnip:the second was a 64 bit
[00:38] <bork> danbhfive: that worked, thanks again =)
[00:38] <mrwes> o/ ActionParsnip
[00:38] <danbhfive> bork: yw
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> kapil: any ap starting with g usually is a gui t some app
[00:38] <Kapli> ah, i see i have to install gparted
[00:38] <canthus13> Kapli: it shows up as partition editior
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> mrwes: howdy
[00:38] <canthus13> Kapli: In the menu.
[00:38] <mrwes> indeed!
[00:38] <mrwes> heh
[00:39] <Kapli> yes its there now after i intsalled it :)
[00:39] <canthus13> Kapli: Cool.
[00:39] <digital8080> ActionParsnip: is the resource option in the login options important
[00:39] <Kapli> ok im in the program but im kinda clueless :D
[00:39] <canthus13> Kapli: Just remember.. No changes take place until you apply them.
[00:40] <canthus13> Kapli: You'll need to do this from a live CD.  You can't resize an active partition.
[00:40] <Kapli> ah ok
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> kapil: you have an interface to the largest information base known to mankind. i suggest you use it
[00:40] <canthus13> Kapli: But essentially, you'll shrink the larger partiition, and then enlarge the smaller one to fill up the slack space.
[00:40] <Kapli> but which one is it that i should change the size of?
[00:40] <mrwes> ActionParsnip, google?
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> mrwes: amongst others
[00:41] <rupert> does anyone know how to stop pages being printed with the top cut off?
[00:41] <mrwes> boom!
[00:41] <Kapli> i see 3, sda1 ext3 and sda2 extended and sda5 linux-swap
[00:41] <canthus13> Kapli: Like I said, Shrink the larger one. Then enlarge the smaller one.  THEN, apply the changes and wait.
[00:41] <mrwes> damn....Action was kaboomed
[00:41] <HobbleAlong> Kapli: resizing is quite slow.  You have already gone through the install process so you know how.  Doing it again and sizing your partitions probably won't take you any longer.
[00:41] <canthus13> Kapli: You may need to relete and recreate your swap partition, if it's in the middle.
[00:41] <mnaines1> ActionParsnip: My laptop is primarily used for remote network management, remote system administration, and disaster recovery
[00:41] <canthus13> Kapli: Hobble has a good point.
[00:42] <canthus13> Kapli: If you don't have any good reason to not start over, just wipe it out and start again.
[00:42] <Kapli> yes
[00:42] <Kapli> i might do that
[00:42] <digital8080> please anyone would help my
[00:42] <Kapli> but what should i do different in the install
[00:42] <canthus13> Kapli: Manually set up the partitions.
[00:42] <Kapli> ah i see, alright ill do that, thanks for the help

[00:48] <Maro_> Hey, does anyone have any idea why downloads of large files (>1GB) using a browser, or wget would be cutting out early and stopping without reporting an error?

[00:48] <Cantinflas9> haha i habe no idea 8080

[00:52] <ubuntu79> i use pidgin whats up 8080?
[00:52] <canthus13> Cantinflas9: What do you mean by 'my server'?
[00:53] <HobbleAlong> Cantinflas9: Is your server a web server?
[00:53] <spO> stable version of wine is version 1.0.1  but on wine's page , http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html , i can go back only to 1.1.18

[00:54] <digital8080> i want to enter some of the rooms that are in google talk but i get xmpp instead and when i try to list the rooms of xmpp it asks me to enter the code of conference server!!!!
[00:55] <Cantinflas9> D-Link Wireless G USB 2.0 Adapter 802.11g
[00:55] <ubuntu79> sorry i dont know anything about google talk srry
[00:55] <canthus13> Cantinflas9: Oh. Wireless adapter. I thought you said modem.
[00:55] <canthus13> Cantinflas9: So... Does it see any wireless networks?
[00:56] <Cantinflas9> umm..no it didn't show anything but those little bars being gray
[00:56] <canthus13> Cantinflas9: When you click on it, do you see your router in the list?
[00:57] <Cantinflas9> no i didn't see anything
[00:57] <canthus13> Hmm.
[00:57] <Cantinflas9> i tried to add it using the SSID and WEP but that didn't seemt o help either
[00:57] <canthus13> Cantinflas9: Are you connecting to your router with any other machines?
[00:58] <Cantinflas9> no this is the same computer
[00:58] <canthus13> Cantinflas9: Just for grins, try rebooting your router.
[00:58] <digital8080> ubuntu79: is a room for pidgin help support
[00:58] <jefinc> !pidgin
[00:58] <canthus13> Cantinflas9: It could just be that your router crashed. :)
[00:59] <Cantinflas9> rebooting you mean the USB thing?
[00:59] <mtlife> is a celeron 500mhz with a geforce2mx to slow for gnome?
[00:59] <canthus13> Cantinflas9: No. I mean your router. The wireless access point.
[00:59] <canthus13> mtlife: Nah.
[01:00] <Cantinflas9> oooh..its one of those verizon Fios thingies
[01:00] <canthus13> mtlife: My wife runs on a PIII 1ghz stuck at 731 mhz, using plain old vesa, and has plenty to spare.
[01:00] <mtlife> canthus13: well it feels like there is almost no hardware acceleration going on in the interface itself. the driver in xorg.conf says nvidia though
[01:01] <canthus13> mtlife: Odd.
[01:01] <canthus13> , provided you have enough ram.
[01:01] <canthus13> bah.
[01:01] <mtlife> canthus13: yeah, 786mb :p, glxgears running at 350 fps:|
[01:01] <BioVore> mtlife: what does glxinfo say about direct render?
[01:01] <VariantX> hello i was wondering i encountered a bug with debian 5.02 that the parted (partition manager) doesnt see any of my partitions, does unbuntu 9.04 suffer from the same problem?
[01:02] <canthus13> You should be fine for web browsing and email and such.
[01:02] <canthus13> mtlife: Compiz might be a bit much though.
[01:02] <VariantX> i believe the version of parted on the installer was 1.7 what version of parted does debian 9.04 use?
[01:02] <zelrikriando> hi
[01:03] <zelrikriando> I was wondering where is the theme directory on ubuntu
[01:03] <mnaines1> There is no tangible difference in performance between having 4GB of RAM and having a page file on a hard drive and having 1GB of RAM and Gigabyte's iRam RamDrive...Put simply, the only real way to guarantee that you don't need a swap file or page file is to have 4GB of RAM or more
[01:03] <zelrikriando> where the gtk themes are
[01:03] <mtlife> BioVore: it says yes
[01:04] <Ivoz> Hi there
[01:04] <renato> hi all
[01:05] <mtlife> canthus13: yes emailing and browsing should be fine, but it handles sluggish. Example: it runs openttd fine in windows, but it does not in gnome (openttd is a game)
[01:05] <bptk421> hey
[01:05] <CavalierPrime> jwfoxjr just back up each user's home directory
[01:05] <sarutobisensey> hi. i want to format a SD card but i don't now how to do this
[01:05] <mtlife> BioVore: what should direct render say? should it say yes or no? mine says yes
[01:05] <Ivoz> On user login, I'm getting that my .dmrc file has bad permissions and needs to be set back to 644. I've done this multiple times and it still says it, what gives?
[01:05] <canthus13> mtlife: Hmm. trackerd might be running.
[01:06] <mtlife> !info trackerd
[01:06] <canthus13> !tracker
[01:06] <canthus13> !info tracker
[01:06] <sarutobisensey> some one want helme?
[01:07] <slide> How do I *permanently* change my hostname? I edit /etc/hostname but when i restart it goes back to the original name
[01:07] <mtlife> canthus13: how to disable it?
[01:07] <canthus13> mtlife: It's kinda rude at times.
[01:07] <unop> Ivoz, make sure the file has the right ownership - it has to be owned by you
[01:07] <dooglus> hey #ubuntu.  I have a 7.10 box and want to upgrade to 8.04.  it's well out of date.  do I need to update to the latest 7.10 packages before going to 8.04 or not?
[01:07] <canthus13> mtlife: Hmm. I don't remember, honestly. Gimme a sec.
[01:07] <unop> slide, when you restart, what is the hostname according to /etc/hostname ?
[01:08] <Ivoz> unop, I've put chmod 644 .dmrc into console on a few logins now
[01:08] <mtlife> dooglus: i upgraded from 7.04 to 8.04 without any problems, so i do not expect you will have any
[01:08] <lion_> hi gents, I need your advice
[01:08] <sarutobisensey> ¿alguien sabe español?
[01:08] <slide> unop, bnason
[01:08] <dooglus> mtlife did you understand my question?
[01:08] <Zosh> hi
[01:08] <slide> unop, ok never mind
[01:08] <unop> Ivoz,  well, you have to ensure  chmod $USER.$USER ~/.dmrc  #too
[01:08] <renato> Hi guys!
[01:08] <slide> some how it fixed itself
[01:08] <maco> s/gents/folks/
[01:08] <canthus13> mtlife: Which version are you using?
[01:08] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. I just delete the .dmrc if it gets messed up. it remakes it.
[01:09] <mtlife> dooglus: yes, sorry incomplete answer. I did not upgrade/update anything before dist-upgrading. Took longer then I expected though
[01:09] <mtlife> canthus13: 8.04
[01:09] <renato> who use a theme like mac OS X in your ubuntu ??
[01:09] <rblst> !mkfs > sarutobisensey
[01:09] <Ivoz> unop, do I put my username in place of $USER or leave that as is?
[01:09] <Dr_Willis> renato:  there exists several. and thers a site  with themes/guides on making it look very very very much like OS-X
[01:09] <dooglus> i didn't use this box for 15 months of so.  there are hundreds of updates available for 7.10, or I can go straight to 8.04
[01:09] <rblst> !es > sarutobisensey
[01:09] <unop> Ivoz, you can leave it as it is -- it will expand to your username anyway
[01:09] <Zosh> I just did a fresh install of ubuntu 9.04 but after the install on the first boot it freezes.. it freezes at where the mouse is spinning but the spinning stops too and the screen is blank black.
[01:09] <rblst>  sarutobisensey
[01:09] <lion_> so, folks, who r ready to help me? )
[01:09] <rblst> !es
[01:10] <dooglus> lion_: I r
[01:10] <canthus13> mtlife: Hmm. Look for it in synaptic and uninstall it.
[01:10] <mtlife> dooglus: what i did was a straight update to 8.04 and it worked, had the same problem didnt update for MONTHS. I suggest you do a backup though to be sure
[01:10] <renato> yoop... yep i know....
[01:10] <dooglus> mtlife: there's nothing on it i want to keep anyway i don't think
[01:10] <kopolee11> Hello. I recently downgraded to Ubuntu 8.10 (I was having sound issues with 9.04) and was wondering how to make my /home partition my /home. Essentially I'm asking how does one change the $PATH. Thank you very much.
[01:10] <Ivoz> unop- 'invalid mode - 'ivo.ivo''
[01:11] <unop> Ivoz, sorry,  make that chown, my bad
[01:11] <dooglus> mtlife: thanks
[01:11] <BioVore> dooglus: In theory it should work.   But if got some distro stuff in there..  might cause problems..
[01:11] <Zosh> hmm anyone can help me please?.. :(
[01:11] <unop> Ivoz,  chown $USER.$USER ~/.dmrc
[01:11] <Dr_Willis> kopolee11:  path is defined in .profile I recall. near the end.
[01:11] <mtlife> dooglus: np :)
[01:11] <dooglus> BioVore: it's all distro stuff
[01:11] <BioVore> (non-distro)
[01:11] <lion_> dooglus: pls advice, how to change sound volume from linear to logarithmic?
[01:11] <Dr_Willis> kopolee11:  if you got home on its own partition, you mount that partition to /home via the fstab normally
[01:11] <dooglus> BioVore: I think all of ubuntu packages are distro stuff
[01:11] <Ivoz> ok cool that worked, thankyou unop, i'll try logging in again
[01:11] <lstarnes> lion_: I think it can only be linear
[01:11] <_ba> is adding ntfs drives to ubuntu pretty easy and stable once mounted?
[01:11] <dooglus> lion_: I don't know
[01:11] <kopolee11> Dr_Willis: Is .profile in the /etc folder? thanks
[01:11] <Dr_Willis> _ba:  ive no hassles with adding ntfs drives
[01:12] <BioVore> dooglus: yup.. so *should* work then..
[01:12] <sarutobisensey> someone can say to me how to format a SD card?
[01:12] <canthus13> mtlife: or sudo apt-get remove tracker
[01:12] <Dr_Willis> kopolee11:  since it has a . in the front.. its a USER config file in the users home dir. there IS a /etc/profile (no dot) i recall
[01:12] <mtlife> canthus13: i am now running top in a terminal and it says 80% cpu to gnome-panel :|
[01:12] <canthus13> Wow.
[01:12] <Dr_Willis> kopolee11:  depends on if you want a 'user' setting, or  for 'everyone'
[01:12] <rblst> sarutobisensey: you can use gparted to format your card
[01:12] <canthus13> mtlife: gnome-panel shouldn't do that.
[01:12] <kopolee11> Dr_Willis: What do I put exactly in the fstab file exactly? Thanks, I'm pretty clueless.
[01:13] <kopolee11> i'd rather have it for everyone
[01:13] <kopolee11> so probably, /etc, correct?
[01:13] <lion_> lstarnes: it is very big one step, from silence to loud sound.. I wanna change it more softly
[01:13] <leaf-sheep> For some reason, my Ubuntu installation on HTPC kept failing on me.  I'm not is unable to go beyond 33% of partitions formatting for 2TB HDD. I'm wondering if I should be doing something in advance such as setting up SATA/RAID controllers.
[01:13] <sarutobisensey> rblst:  I have gparted, can you expain me?
[01:14] <Maro_> Does anyone have any idea why large downloads would be stopping after a few hundred MB when they're >1GB large? Using different browsers and wget...
[01:14] <Dr_Willis> kopolee11:  adding new file sytems to fstab is docuemented everytehre. the ntfs-3g homepage is the main guide.  an example of Mine for MY system is --> /dev/sda1 /media/Windows ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 1
[01:14] <Dr_Willis> !ntfs-3g | kopolee11
[01:14] <spO> well, dvdrebuilder feature of queuing projects does not work well in wine. Thus, i will have to use my windows desktop to re-encode dvd9 to dvd5 because i don't want poor quality i would get with a non CCE encoder
[01:14] <Dr_Willis> kopolee11:  the Directory you are mounting TO (/media/Windows) MUST exist befor you mount somthing to it. (sudo mkdir /media/Windows)
[01:14] <Zosh> anyone?
[01:14] <rblst> sarutobisensey: select your device and make a FAT partition on it
[01:14] <Zosh> please..
[01:15] <rupert> does anyone know how to stop pages being printed with the top cut off?
[01:15] <Dr_Willis> rupert:  check your printer margins/settings  in the configs.  it may be set to the wrong kind of paper.  or bad margins
[01:15] <sarutobisensey> in the terminal execute the gparted?
[01:15] <Ivoz> ok thanks upon that worked!
[01:15] <mtlife> canthus13: ah well.. now removing tracker
[01:15] <lion_> guys, pls advice what should be changed to make sound volume changing more accurately and softly ?
[01:16] <kopolee11> Dr_Willis: Thanks a lot. Didn't know this was already covered in the community docs. I'll check that out.
[01:16] <mido> guy...could I convert deb extension to rpm or tar.bz?
[01:16] <mido> guz
[01:16] <Dr_Willis> kopolee11:  its covered at 1000+ sites. :) its a common topic. :)
[01:16] <Ivoz> Does anyone know how to get the user logon to select your username automatically, rather than typing it in every time?
[01:16] <Ben64> mido: neither?
[01:16] <rupert> Dr_Willis: the margins are all 0, and the paper is a4 (which is correct)
[01:16] <Zosh> I just did a fresh install of ubuntu 9.04 but after the install on the first boot it freezes.. it freezes at where the mouse is spinning but the spinning stops too and the screen is blank black.
[01:16] <rblst> Zosh: you get past the login screen?
[01:16] <kopolee11> Dr_Willis: However, I'm not trying to mount my window's partition (didn't know you could do that) but my linux home partition. However, I'll look a bit more through the docs. Thanks a lot
[01:16] <Dr_Willis> rupert:  does it from all apps? or just a few? Ive noticed some browsers goofing up.
[01:16] <mido> Ben64: how to do that?
[01:16] <Zosh> rblst,nope
[01:16] <leaf-sheep> Ivoz: Preference/System --> Login Windows.
[01:17] <rupert> Dr_Willis: i've only tried the test page and lpr from the command line
[01:17] <Zosh> rblst,right after the loading screen
[01:17] <Ben64> mido: why would you want to convert .deb? ubuntu can use it
[01:17] <Dr_Willis> kopolee11:  for a linux partition you will want to use the UUID method to  identify the partition most likely also.
[01:17] <sarutobisensey> rblst:  gparted no show me the SD card
[01:17] <rupert> Dr_Willis: neither works correctly
[01:17] <mido> to work in all distrbutions of linux
[01:18] <len> hi, can anyone help me mouting ftp into a folder?
[01:18] <Dr_Willis> rupert:  try from Openoffice, or a browser perhaps.  You may need to set the margin to some actual #.  I thinki always set mine to be .2 or somting small
[01:18] <rblst> sarutobisensey: okay, so you can delete the partition on the card (make sure to backup your data) and make a new partition with FAT32 type
[01:18] <Ivoz> leaf-sheep: where about is the correct option in there? I can't see it amongst the tabs
[01:18] <Adrian1> Hello can someone help me with sound
[01:18] <kopolee11> Dr_Willis: Don't know what the UUID method is, but I'll look it up. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction
[01:18] <mido> Ben64: to work in all distrbutions of linux
[01:18] <Dr_Willis> !info fuseftp
[01:18] <iluminator101>  i have no sound, can someone help me configure sound
[01:18] <Dr_Willis> !uuid | kopolee11
[01:19] <Zosh> rblst,do you know how to fix this? :(
[01:19] <spO> sabnzbd  takes up about 80Z% of my CPU even when it is not downloading anything/is on pause
[01:19] <lion_> I have 2 buttons on my laptop: increase sound and decrease one, and they are working very hard, means they make very big difference between volumes
[01:19] <rblst> Zosh: do you get to the login screen where you need to enter your name and password?
[01:19] <sarutobisensey> rblst:  no, in the gparted not showme the sd card
[01:19] <Dr_Willis> !info curleftpfs |  len
[01:19] <Zosh> rblst,No, it freezes right after the loading screen
[01:19] <Dr_Willis> !info curlftpfs |  len
[01:19] <Adrian1> can someone help me with sound plz
[01:20] <Zosh> rblst,it just shows the mouse but the spinning wheel is frozen. I can move the mouse though
[01:20] <mnaines> Which is faster, a 30MB/sec sustained access 32GB SecureDigital card or a standard magnetic hard drive?
[01:20] <len> Dr_Willis, thx gonna checkout
[01:20] <Dr_Willis> len:  check the 'fuse' homepage for other options that use fuse also.
[01:20] <unop> Ivoz, run this command.   gksudo gdmsetup  and then navigate to the Security tab and adjust the "Enable automatic logon" option
[01:20] <zelrikriando> I get the following error message on most themes from gnome-look "this theme will not look as intended because the required GTK+ theme 'imetal-gradient-macmenu' is not  installed"
[01:20] <Adrian1> Can someone help me with sound config?
[01:21] <kopolee11> Dr_Willis: Thanks I'll go check it out. Sorry if this is a very common questio
[01:21] <kopolee11> *question
[01:21] <robert__> i have remix and want standard. how do i put an iso on a flash drive?
[01:21] <Ivoz> unop, I don't want automatic logon, I just want not to have to type my username every time...
[01:21] <Dr_Willis> kopolee11:  i forget the question. :) but yes.. how to mount filesystems in linux is common knowledge./docuemted  and a thing  WELL worth learning  all about. :)
[01:21] <rblst> Zosh: try reinstalling gnome
[01:21] <Zosh> rblst,how?
[01:21] <len> Dr_Willis,  I just tryed to install fuse-module but it throw an error
[01:22] <brig> I installed Swfdec and cannot see certain swf files... how do I fix this???
[01:22] <Zosh> rblst,btw I installed using the alternate cd . the normal cd wont work..
[01:22] <len> Dr_Willis, i think i need to say my kernel version to ir, or something like that
[01:22] <Dr_Willis> len: the 'fuse' stuff is normally installed by default.    Not sure aboyut your 'error;'
[01:22] <Ivoz> I had to change my password just now because i typed it in the username field in front of someone... on vista you just type your password
[01:23] <rblst> Zosh: do you have an ati card?
[01:23] <xsebsx> what's the best dvd playing app? i am having a wee bit of trouble with dragon player
[01:23] <Zosh> rblst,nope nvidia
[01:23] <Adrian1> Can anyone help me??
[01:23] <robert__> i have remix and want standard. how do i put an iso on a flash drive?
[01:23] <len> Dr_Willis, from tutorial it said I need to load it with sudo modprobe fuse
[01:23] <Dr_Willis> xsebsx:  i tend to use vlc, or mplayer or smplayer
[01:23] <Dr_Willis> len:  its allready loaded most likely
[01:24] <Dr_Willis> len:  its built in the the kernel i think on the latest releases
[01:24] <rblst> Zosh: why did you use an alternate cd?
[01:24] <brig> Dr_Wills: how do I cahange the player???
[01:24] <Zosh> rblst,the normal won't work. it freezes on install
[01:24] <robert__> is it possible to put an iso on a flash drive?
[01:24] <Zosh> it freezes where it only shows the wallpaper not even started to install
[01:25] <robert__> i mean to boot
[01:25] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  yes.. if you mean to make a BOOTABLE flash drive from an iso use 'unetbootin' or the Ubuntu 'usb-disk' creator tool
[01:25] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  i use unetbootin all the time.
[01:25] <Adrian1> Dr_willis: can you help me with sound configuration
[01:25] <robert__> ubuntu startup disc creator?
[01:25] <Adrian1> ?
[01:25] <mnaines> Dr_Willis: If a computer can boot from USB, can it also boot from SecureDigital or ExpressCard?
[01:25] <Dr_Willis> Adrian1:  depends on the exact problem.. very likely, not.
[01:26] <Dr_Willis> mnaines:  thats not alwyas the case.  Some can, some cant.
[01:26] <robert__> Dr_Willis, do you mean startup disc creator? didn't work
[01:26] <brig> I installed Swfdec and cannot see certain swf files... how do I fix this?
[01:26] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  'admin -> usb startup disk creator' works with Ubuntu ISO's , not sure about other disrtos.
[01:26] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  unetbootin works with most disrtos.
[01:26] <Adrian1> Dr_Willis: well i had some sound on my computer when I first install the ubuntu on my computer but when i did the update i dont have anymore sound at tall
[01:26] <mnaines> Dr_Willis: My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A205 series...I do not know if it can boot from the SecureDigital
[01:27] <Adrian1> Dr_Willis: all**
[01:27] <robert__> Dr_Willis, i tried the one from ubuntu.com didn't work
[01:27] <mickster04> mnaines, why not try?
[01:27] <Dr_Willis> mnaines:  no idea. hit google I guess.. Ive not had ANY laptops that could boot from SD card. and ive had 5+ of them over the last few years.
[01:27] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  tried 'what one' ?
[01:28] <brig> I installed Swfdec and cannot see certain swf files... how do I fix this???
[01:28] <rblst> Zosh: you may try to change your video driver to vesa in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:28] <Adrian1> Dr_Willis: well i had some sound on my computer when I first install the ubuntu on my computer but when i did the update i dont have anymore sound at tall
[01:28] <mnaines> mickster04: I am going to try it and see...If it doesn't work, then I'll probably use the card as a ramdrive
[01:28] <robert__> Dr_Willis, it said unable to determine partition number
[01:28] <Dasnipa> are some repo's down? Could not connect to us.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (91.189.88.40), connection timed out
[01:28] <mickster04> brig, have u tried vlc?
[01:28] <kitche> brig: by not using swfdec for those swf files
[01:28] <Dr_Willis> Adrian1:  check the various alsa trouble shooting guides
[01:28] <Dr_Willis> Adrian1:  thats about all  i know on the topic.
[01:28] <brig> mickster04: vlc... how???
[01:28] <Adrian1> Dr_Willis: i tried all of that and I still didnt get anything
[01:29] <brig> mickster04: apt get does  not change it
[01:29] <Dr_Willis> robert__:   perhaps you used the tool wrong i guess.  The USb-creator works very well for me. or go try Unetbootin
[01:29] <robert__> i'll try that one thanks
[01:29] <Dr_Willis> !info unetbootin
[01:29] <mickster04> brig, right click on the file? then select open with vlc? or load the file from vlc itself
[01:30] <Zosh> rblst,hm
[01:30] <Zosh> rblst,ok I'll try thanks
[01:30] <robert__> where do i get unetbootin?
[01:30] <brig> micster04: I think you do not understand... in firefox... it says its playing it in swf, how do I switch???
[01:30] <mickster04> oooooh i c
[01:30] <mickster04> brig no idea:D
[01:31] <brig> I installed Swfdec and cannot see certain swf files... how do I fix this???
[01:31] <brig> I installed Swfdec and cannot see certain swf files in firefox... how do I fix this???
[01:31] <Dr_Willis> brig:  perhaps install the flash-nonfree?
[01:31] <giotis> please i need help with the username and password from router
[01:31] <brig> dr_Wills: done
[01:31] <Dr_Willis> if only SOME swf work.. sounds like its a compatiability problem. and installing both.. may cause all sorts of issues
[01:31] <brig> Dr_Willis: did not fix it
[01:31] <b3rz3rk3r> !ask | giotis
[01:32] <Dr_Willis> remove both.. reinstall the flash nonfree
[01:32] <mickster04> brig, if you go to systemdetails.com it tells u what flash player ur using?
[01:32] <mickster04> you're*
[01:32] <kismet> hey dose anyone know how to test if my 3d works
[01:33] <brig> Dr_Willis: when I try to uninstall Swfdec it says I have to uninstall gnome... is that safe???
[01:33] <c_korn> kismet: glxgears
[01:33] <Dr_Willis> brig:  if you mean 'gnome-desktop' yes.
[01:33] <kismet> c_korn: thx
[01:33] <Polt{laptop}> can anyone tell me how to fix my gnome desktop so that files on the desktop will still show up with the compiz wallpaper plugin enabled ?
[01:33] <c_korn> kismet: glxinfo | grep rendering
[01:33] <brig> Dr_Willis: No... Gnome, and like 500 other things
[01:33] <Dr_Willis> or does it say ubuntu-desktop? or just 'gnome' brig
[01:33] <Dr_Willis> brig:  and how are you uninstalling this?
[01:33] <mickster04> does anyone know how to empty my desktio properly
[01:33] <brig> Dr_Willis: just gnome
[01:34] <mickster04> like remove all icons and drives etc/
[01:34] <kismet> c_korn: do you know.. i would like to play chess in 3d and it says that i have to install phyton something
[01:34] <giotis> how can find with xhydra the username nad password from router?
[01:34] <kismet> c_korn: No Python OpenGL support
[01:34] <brig> Dr_Willis: through the synaptic gui... the only thing I ever use
[01:34] <robert__> Dr_Willis, it only goes up to 8.10 unetbootin?
[01:34] <Dr_Willis> kismet:  that 3d chess thing has not worked in the last 4+ releases.. ive never been able to find the files it wants.
[01:34] <ExMachina> how is support for HD48** series these days in linux?
[01:35] <c_korn> kismet: propably http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/python-opengl
[01:35] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  clarify the question?
[01:35] <DVA5912> in ubuntu what do i program for? im wanting a gui interface but it also needs to be able to use the ports on the pc. the serial and usb spesifficaly.
[01:35] <kismet> Dr_Willis: okay so it would be a waste of time to try
[01:35] <DVA5912> c++ or phython or what?
[01:35] <MTeck> ExMachina: probably best to just try a live cd
[01:35] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  i  use unetbootin with the latets ubuntu releases all teh time.
[01:35] <robert__> Dr_Willis, i tried unetbootin. it only displays up to 8.10
[01:35] <mickster04> DVA5912, theres also c# available u could use c too ?
[01:35] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  just download your iso. tell unetbootin to use it.
[01:35] <Polt{laptop}> here is the problem... when I enabled the compiz wallpaper plugin I had to disable nautilus's show desktop function in gconf-editor. I want to find a workaround for this that will allow me to still see files saved to my desktop. I don't care about screenlets. I have that and it wasn't what I am after.
[01:35] <lstarnes> DVA5912: C and C++ are rather low-level so they are a little closer to the hardware
[01:35] <DVA5912> i could but is C# easy enought to use for a gui
[01:36] <DVA5912> ok
[01:36] <DVA5912> so c++ it is :)
[01:36] <lstarnes> DVA5912: python and other languages might have libraries for hardware interfaces
[01:36] <lstarnes> DVA5912: I prefer C over C++
[01:36] <zelrikriando> how to make the whole panel transparent
[01:37] <brig> I installed Swfdec and cannot see certain swf files in firefox... how do I fix this???
[01:37] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. right click -> panel properties -> background, solid color, transparency slider...
[01:37] <kitche> brig: as we told you don't use swfdec for thsoe swf files use something like vlc mplayer to play them
[01:37] <brig> kitche: yes... and how????
[01:38] <Dr_Willis> I just drag/drop swf to  vlc normally
[01:38] <Dr_Willis> or set the default player for .swf files to be vlc perhaps?
[01:38] <zelrikriando> Dr_Willis: that just does half the job
[01:38] <Dr_Willis> zelrikriando:  thats about as good as its going to get. The panel dosent have a lot of features.
[01:39] <brig> Dr_Willis: how do i change the defauly player to be vlc?
[01:39] <Dr_Willis> zelrikriando:  theres various discussions on the mindstorm site and other sites about how old/lacking the gnome panel is in many areas
[01:39] <Dr_Willis> brig:  right click on a file, , properties..
[01:39] <Polt{laptop}> zelrikriando this could be why some people focus more on the dockstyle apps. I like cairo dock
[01:39] <mickster04> Dr_Willis, he means in ff
[01:39] <Polt{laptop}> there is an svn script you can get for it that installs it and allows you to keep it updated
[01:39] <brig> Dr_Willis: and that will be reflected in firefox???
[01:40] <Dr_Willis> brig:  no idea on FF. ive never had to fight with flash in FF. other then to install the flash-nonfree package  on a new install.
[01:40] <brig> I installed Swfdec and cannot see certain swf files in FIREFOX... how do I fix this???
[01:40] <Polt{laptop}> zelrikriando you must customize cairodock though if you install it from svn ... I dunno about the other ways. Svn is better if you want the openGL effects
[01:40] <brig> Dr_Willis: Notice the Firefox note
[01:41] <zelrikriando> hmm
[01:41] <trism> brig: the other flash packages don't really support flash very well, install the official adobe one
[01:41] <zelrikriando> I found something that I like
[01:41] <zelrikriando> I am gonna stick with it for now
[01:41] <mickster04> brig, did u go to the website?
[01:41] <brig> trism: ok... how?
[01:41] <CopyWriter> hello ubuntuians
[01:41] <trism> brig: install the flashplugin-installer from the repo
[01:41] <mickster04> hi
[01:41] <brig> mickster04: yes... I have everything I could think if installed
[01:42] <trism> brig: and I would remove swfdec so you're sure to get the right one
[01:42] <mnaines> Dr_Willis: I found a hard drive that can reach sustained average speeds of 87MB/sec and maximum burst speeds of 205MB/sec and it only requires 1.5W of power
[01:42] <brig> trism: done... did not fix
[01:42] <mickster04> brig, i meant systemdetails.com it can tell u what flash version u are using
[01:42] <brig> trism;
[01:43] <brig> trism: done... did not fix it
[01:43] <Dr_Willis> mnaines:  thats impressive.. but whats teh cost?
[01:43] <trism> brig: I suppose it depends on what swf you're trying to view, I have found a few flash apps don't work well with the linux version
[01:44] <mickster04> brig, really try te website it may explain why some flash files arent working
[01:44] <mnaines> Dr_Willis: $65 for 160GB
[01:44] <need_help> hey need to ask : HISTSIZE set to 500 ! when i do history list more than 800 store ! why thx
[01:44] <Q_Continuum> In older versions of Ubuntu, there was a 'Hardware' option in under System->Preferences or Administration...any way to get that GUI-based hardware list back?
[01:44] <Dr_Willis> mnaines:  I tend to need more space then speed. But go for it! :)
[01:44] <brig> mickster04: OK so you are saying that linux cannot play certain flash files??? is that it?
[01:44] <mickster04> brig nope?
[01:45] <Dr_Willis> need_help:  that may be the size it saves to disk  perhaps?  ive never really needed to tweak the histsize befor
[01:45] <mnaines> Dr_Willis: Its part of the Seagate Momentus 7200.4 family of drives, which come in four sizes, 160GB, 250GB, 320GB, and 500GB...That family of drives can see those specs no problem
[01:45] <brig> mickster04: OK you have confused me then
[01:45] <len> Dr_Willis, can u help me again. Im trying to mount but im getting this error
[01:45] <len> fusermount: failed to open /etc/fuse.conf: Permission denied
[01:45] <brig> mickster04: please explain
[01:45] <Dr_Willis> len:  what release of ubuntu are you using?
[01:45] <len> and I already put my user on fuse group
[01:45] <need_help> Dr_Willis nah to disk there is : HISTFILESIZE
[01:45] <len> 9704
[01:45] <len> 9.04
[01:45] <Dr_Willis> len:  did you log out/back in after adding that user to the group?
[01:45] <zelrikriando> is there a way to hack an app to change the colors?
[01:46] <zelrikriando> let's say texmaker
[01:46] <len> nope, gonna do that now
[01:46] <mickster04> brig, go to systemdetails.com in ff an tell me what flash you're using?
[01:46] <Dr_Willis> need_help:  told ya - i never have neede to change tha stuff.. heh. :)
[01:46] <debio264> I'm trying to install bitlbee and apt-get is telling me it depends on glibc-private, which isn't installable. Should I open a bug?
[01:46] <brig> does anyone know how to change what player is used to play swf's in firefox?
[01:46] <mnaines> Dr_Willis: I tend to be the type who favors both capacity and speed, and these drives more than fit the bill
[01:46] <robert__> i'm tryin to put ubuntu iso onto my flash drive with unetbootin. i drag/dropped the iso but it says location does not exist
[01:46] <mickster04> brig, are you ignoring me on purpose?
[01:47] <brig> mickster04: sorry 9.0.99.0
[01:47] <trism> brig: it lists what plugins you're using on the Tools/Add-ons/Plugins tab
[01:47] <mickster04> brig, so thats why it isnt working
[01:47] <Dr_Willis> mnaines:  im used to running systems from live flash drives.. or from my 1tb servers. :)   speed is rarely  high on my list.. would make a good boot disk i guess. :) wonder how much heat they make.
[01:47] <trism> brig: or you can look at about:plugins in the address bar
[01:47] <brig> mickster04: ok... so how do I fix it?
[01:47] <mickster04> brig, uninstall swfplayer an just use adobe flash
[01:48] <mnaines> Dr_Willis: product reviews claim 42C temperature before the drive stabilizes
[01:48] <brig> mickster04: ok but uninstallinf swfplayer requires an uninstall of gnome????
[01:48] <robert__> i'm tryin to put ubuntu iso onto my flash drive with unetbootin. i drag/dropped the iso but it says location does not exist
[01:48] <Dr_Willis> mnaines:  i recall such a disaster years ago with those high speed (raptor? what was the name) drives. Several friends had them die like crazy.
[01:48] <mickster04> brig nooe
[01:48] <Polt{laptop}> ok I think my flood protection is turned back a bit now
[01:49] <Polt{laptop}> now whoever msg'd me before can msg me
[01:49] <mickster04> about:plugins brig
[01:49] <mnaines> Dr_Willis: I have two Raptors that have been in constant use and so far no problems
[01:49] <mickster04> mnaines, cool raptors are dangerous:D
[01:49] <Dr_Willis> mnaines:  friend had his raid of them die.. but they were brand new/tech :)  good luck heh.
[01:49] <James147> Dr_Willis: if speed is your only consern with disk acces look at the solid state drives, much faster then noramml hard drives and use less power so run coller
[01:49] <brig> mickster04: application/x-shockwave-flash 	Adobe Flash movie
[01:50] <BioVore> mnaines: there where 2 version of the raptor.. a JB and a BB.  JB are good.. I have 6 of them over 5 years of server duty and they work still.  BB I have 3 dead one of those..
[01:50] <robert__> i'm tryin to put ubuntu iso onto my flash drive with unetbootin. i drag/dropped the iso but it says location does not exist
[01:50] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  dont drag/drop just click on the ... and find the .iso file then select the proper drive from teh drive pull down menu item at the bottom
[01:50] <mickster04> brig keep flash player remove the shockwave thing
[01:50] <mnaines> Dr_Willis: I don't use mine on RAID...I use one of them as a boot drive for my desktop...It, unfortunately, has the same speed as the 7200.4 Seagate Momentus family
[01:51] <mnaines> BioVore: Mine is the 150GB SATA 1.5Gbps one
[01:51] <drdr> anyone know the irc channle of the packaging teamA?
[01:51] <myne-us> robert__: what OS are you dragging and dropping this in ?
[01:51] <robert__> Dr_Willis, i don't see it there on the list but i see it there on the desktop
[01:51]  * Dr_Willis looks at his little laptop with its 5400 rpm drive..
[01:51] <robert__> myne-us, ubuntu iso
[01:51] <Dr_Willis> robert__:    path to desktop is /home/username/Desktop
[01:52] <brig> mickster04: OK are you not explaining the how for a reason???
[01:52] <myne-us> robert__: so your in the boot trying to put the iso on your flashdrive from the boot version os ubuntu?
[01:53] <kholerabbi> Hello, is there a shortcut key to access the messaging menu?
[01:53] <cak054_> hey
[01:53] <mickster04> brig, oh well go onto about:plugins in ff an uninstal from there, i remember i could last time,,,
[01:53] <mnaines> Dr_Willis: if you want a good boot drive for your laptop, get the 160GB Seagate Momentus 7200.4 drive I told you about...160GB for $65
[01:53] <myne-us> robert__: did you mount the flashdrive before moving the ISO
[01:53] <robert__> myne-us, no, from the img
[01:53] <robert__> myne-us, i plug it in and it shows up, i guess its mounted
[01:53] <Dr_Willis> mnaines:  this is a netbook. it uses those little mini sized hard drives. :0
[01:53] <brig> mickster04: well I cannot from mine
[01:54] <mnaines> Dr_Willis: 1.8" or 2.5"?
[01:54] <mickster04> ok hang on will have a look
[01:54] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  you never said you were using the .img file..    what ARE you using exactlyu? whats the file name?
[01:54] <Dr_Willis> mnaines:  i forget.. the acer aspire one. its the drive thats smaller then the laptop drives i recall.
[01:54] <Dr_Willis> thats 1.8 i think.
[01:54] <robert__> Dr_Willis, its the ubuntu 9.04 iso
[01:54] <mickster04> brig try sudo apt-get purge swfdec-mozilla
[01:55] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  so its not a  whatever.img file then? :) its a whatever.iso right?
[01:55] <brig> mickster04: ok retrying...
[01:56] <mickster04> :/
[01:56] <robert__> Dr_Willis, on diskimag i selected iso then i went to desktop and its not displayed there
[01:56] <archiebenedict> does anyone here know if gnash can still play youtube videos?
[01:56] <brig> mickster04: SWEET!!!!
[01:57] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  I would guess you are looking in the wrong place then. if you downloaded it as root. it may be in /root/Desktop/whatever
[01:57] <mickster04> brig :D
[01:57] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  OR  you are looking in /root/Desktop when it needsd tobe /home/USERNAME/Desktop
[01:57] <Rakuli> Hello. Can anyone shed any light on why I would be getting segmentation fault for everything I am attempting to do on Ubuntu 8.04 (server edition)... It started with installing php-net-smtp and now I can't use SVN, MYSQL, Apache etc without "segmentation fault"
[01:57] <brig> mickster04: so could I have done that through the synaptic gui?
[01:57] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  unetbootin needs to be ran as root with gksudo i think
[01:57] <mickster04> brig probably if you knew what to look for, i just googled it:D
[01:58] <robert__> Dr_Willis, so i need to run it from the terminal instead of clicking the icon?
[01:58] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  no idea. i always run it from the terminal :) faster that way
[01:58] <Dr_Willis> I dont even know where its at in the menus
[01:58] <brig> mickster: is perge the same as uninstall?
[01:58] <myne-us> robert__: or just put in the location in the menu when attempting to access it
[01:58] <et_> F
[01:59] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  it may not be needed to be ran as root. ive not used it reently
[01:59] <mickster04> brig, i dudont think so, it gets rid of all downloaded packages too i think...
[01:59] <robert__> Dr_Willis, im running it as root
[01:59] <mnaines> Dr_Willis: I plan to get that drive for my laptop and then get a 500GB version of the drive for a birthday present in October
[01:59] <robert__> its on the desktop, but when i select desktop the file doesn't show
[01:59] <brig> mickster04: cool :-) thanks btw
[02:00] <mickster04> brig its ok:D mayb try solvin the problem by yourself with the google may help u better in future? youoll probly learn stuff tooD
[02:00] <mickster04> good night im off now
[02:01] <rblst> brig: 'purge' is when all the config files are also removed; 'remove' is equal to 'uninstall' in synaptic
[02:02] <myne-us> exit
[02:02] <myne-us> oops
[02:02] <Newbuntu2> hello!
[02:02] <myne-us> hello newb
[02:02] <[Typhus]> urge.net
[02:02] <[Typhus]> ......
[02:02] <[Typhus]> fail
[02:03] <Newbuntu2> I'm having a little problem with a hard drive... won't boot and gave me lots of errors when booting from the live cd. Any ideas on how to try and diagnose it/get some data off it? I just need a small text file, everything can be trashed
[02:05] <Newbuntu2> ...
[02:05] <len> Dr_Willis, Im back, now Iam having issues with the destination. Also not allowing
[02:06] <dpratt71> where to put apps not installed by a package manager?; is there a canonical directory?
[02:07] <len> got it :)
[02:07] <rblst> dpratt71: you can use /opt or /var/opt; i don't know if it's 'canonical'
[02:08] <Travis> Hello
[02:08] <EDinNY> What do I put in /etc/network/interfaces to stop dhcp from updating /etc/resolv.com?
[02:08] <Guest52453> Could someone give me a hand? I am having trouble with the alternative installer
[02:08] <dpratt71> rblst: ok, thanks
[02:09] <N-S> How come rtorrent-0.8.4 hasn't been added to the repository yet? It was released more than 9 months ago.
[02:09] <Guest52453> I can't get the alternative installer to work
[02:10] <EDinNY> Guest52453: what does it not do?
[02:10] <DaZ> N-S, it's the ubuntu way
[02:10] <leaf-sheep> N-S: Probably because it is not a security issue.  All security issues get patched and updated asap.
[02:10] <robert__> no matter what i do unetbootin isn't showing the iso on the desktop
[02:10] <Guest52453> Well, I just get "GRUB"
[02:10] <rblst> EDinNY: iface eth0 inet static; replace eth0 with the proper device name
[02:10] <robert__> i click desktop, it shows nothing
[02:11] <N-S> yeah, I actually read that in the faq a few minutes ago. Sadly, it's not in the backports either.
[02:11] <rblst> EDinNY: and then, in a new line: address 192.168.1.1
[02:11] <mnaines> Dr_Willis: I found a drive you can use for your servers
[02:11] <EDinNY>  rblst, I want it to use dhcp to find the ip address but NOT change /etc/resolv.conf so I can use my own dns server
[02:11] <N-S> Since Rakshasa doesn't supply packages, I'd have to compile it manually.
[02:11] <DaZ> N-S, if you like your software up to date get arch <:
[02:12] <TonyTheTiger> hi, while at uni I messed with alot of my repos file and stuff due to the proxy lan they had.
[02:12] <Guest52453> Help?
[02:12] <TonyTheTiger> is there a way for me to get ubuntu back to factory settings without a reinstall?
[02:12] <DaZ> TonyTheTiger, ~/.*
[02:12] <neoandersen> hi
[02:13] <TonyTheTiger> DaZ, sorry i dont understand
[02:13] <TheColonial> Hey guys. I need to quickly set up a temp pop server for mail on my ubuntu server (mobo died on mailserver). I was wondering if someone could point me at a way of getting one running without needing to create local users for every person in the company?
[02:13] <TonyTheTiger> is that a command for the terminal?
[02:13] <N-S> DaZ yeah, well, I did want a stable base, without too much hassle. Coming from Gentoo I didn't expect it to be impossible to install a more recent version of an app.
[02:13] <EDinNY> Guest52453, does the alt install cd just say "grub" when you boot from it?  or did you already do the install and it does not work?
[02:13] <neoandersen> hi do I found the mozilla/plugins to put the libflashplayer.so inside?
[02:13] <DaZ> TonyTheTiger, directories
[02:13] <rblst> EDinNY: i believe it's the dhcp server where you can set whether to send DNS data, is it not so?
[02:14] <TheColonial> Every tutorial I find relies on local users.
[02:14] <dsnyders> TheColonial, would the server not need to authenticate incoming users?
[02:14] <DaZ> if you remove them everything will recreate config files
[02:14] <AutoDude> hello, i have question about procmailrc and maildir
[02:14] <DaZ> unless they're kept in /etc
[02:14] <jefinc> TonyTheTiger: a good way to set that up is when you initially install you set up three partitions instead of two, one for /root, one for /home and one for your swap, then you can just purge your /root without losing anything :)
[02:14] <leaf-sheep> N-S: Your choices --> Find a PPA.  Find a deb.  Compike it yourself.
[02:14] <rblst> EDinNY: you can use this line: gateway 192.168.0.1, of course with an apropriate address
[02:15] <DaZ> jefinc, /root or / ? <:
[02:15] <EDinNY> rblst, there is some directive you can put in the interfaces file which tells ubunto to get an ip address from dhcp but ignore the DNS server that DHCP tells it to use
[02:15] <calvin_> Hi, ANYONE know how i can get the latest CHROME browser 64-bit
[02:15] <TonyTheTiger> hmm im sorry guys im a beginner at this all
[02:15] <calvin_> Hi, ANYONE know how i can get the latest CHROME browser 64-bit
[02:15] <jefinc> DaZ: / :P
[02:15] <TheColonial> dsnyders: yes i think it would. so i guess local users is the only way eh? is there no way of just using something like htpasswd to create temp logins in a file while the main server is fixed?
[02:15] <Guest52453>  EDinNY,  it just loads GRUB when i boot from CD.
[02:15] <DaZ> calvin_, download sources & compile
[02:15] <TonyTheTiger> and i think my current ubuntu has alot of messed up stuff in it
[02:15] <tas1> while installing ubuntu what do i select for mount point?
[02:15] <TonyTheTiger> i was hoping to fix it all without a reinstall
[02:15] <dsnyders> TheColonial, Can you just load up the drives from the old server into a "new" machine and run with that?
[02:15] <nunya> My wireless seems to work great everywhere I've taken it *except* for my own house, which has a WRT54G2 as an AP. The AP gives me an IP, but I apparently don't have any access to the net. No ping, no web pages load, nothin'. Resetting the router to defaults w/ no security does not help. The AP sees me in it's client list, and serves many other clients just fine. I can connect to any other AP just fine. Any ideas out there? This is 
[02:16] <EDinNY> guest, not sure.  maybe your disk is broke.  did you check the md5 before you burned it?
[02:16] <Guest52453> actually no.  How do i do that in windows?
[02:16] <IdleOne> !md5
[02:16] <Guest52453> thanks
[02:16] <theophilus> Hey Guys! I need help with my ATI Radeon graphics card.
[02:16] <zhxk> how to show pacakge dependce tree?
[02:17] <DaZ> TonyTheTiger, define messed stuff
[02:17] <leaf-sheep> zhxk: aptitude show pidgin
[02:17] <TheColonial> dsnyders: Yes I could do that. The problem is that the box is about a 8 hour drive north of here :)
[02:17] <TonyTheTiger> messed up repose, so i cant use terminal like usual so i installed alot of files manually
[02:17] <mnaines> nunya, is it a d-link router?
[02:18] <zhxk> ok, thanks]
[02:18] <AvonGenesis> How do you install foreign fonts on linux? Like, the fonts so I can view the characters in a web browser.
[02:18] <TonyTheTiger> which further caused confusion, i have updates ready to download but they just dont due to whatever the reason
[02:18] <dsnyders> TheColonial, Snap!  That's bad.  Unfortunately, I don't think I can help.
[02:18] <TonyTheTiger> is there an easy way for me to re-install ubuntu?
[02:18] <nunya> mnaines: It's a Linksys WRT54G2
[02:18] <N-S> leaf-sheep yes, I'm googling already
[02:18] <TheColonial> dsnyders: thanks so much for your response :) much appreciated.
[02:19] <DaZ> AvonGenesis, ~/.fonts
[02:19] <br34l> TonyTheTiger: open terminal and type sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[02:19] <mnaines> nunya, go into the Internet Setup part of the router and set it for DHCP
[02:19] <DaZ> TonyTheTiger, if you have /home partition separate
[02:19] <TheColonial> dsnyders: i think i'm just going ot have to deal with putting useres on that box.. such is life.
[02:19] <dsnyders> TheColonial, How was the old machine authenticating?
[02:19] <nunya> mnaines: It is set to DHCP, and I successfully get an IP address. Can't ping the gateway or anything else, though
[02:19] <TheColonial> it was a windows machine, so Active Directory.
[02:19] <TheColonial> dsnyders: it was a windows machine, so Active Directory.
[02:19] <AvonGenesis> DaZ, could you elaborate more? I'm still new to the linux operating system.
[02:20] <mnaines> nunya, I meant set the WAN port for DHCP
[02:20] <DaZ> AvonGenesis, copy them to ~/.fonts
[02:20] <rblst> EDinNY: i know no such directive for interfaces, but i think you can use a line like this in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf: prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220;
[02:20] <IdleOne> TonyTheTiger: what error are you getting when you run sudo apt-get update?
[02:20] <dsnyders> TheColonial, There should be a way to get a linux pop server to authenticate against AD
[02:20] <TonyTheTiger> just the usual failing to get packages or being stuck on 0%
[02:20] <TheColonial> dsnyders: ah yes! of course. i should investigate that. thanks very much!
[02:21] <TonyTheTiger> like now, after i did the sudo apt-get upgrade
[02:21] <nunya> mnaines: WAN is and has been set to DHCP - standard and easy cable connection here
[02:21] <br34l> DIST-upgrade
[02:21] <tas1> im trying to install ubuntu and it keeps saying i need a mount point and someone else tells me something swap?
[02:21] <dsnyders> TheColonial, You may wish to look at ldap and/or imap.  I forget which.
[02:21] <TheColonial> dsnyders: that's a great idea. i shall chase that up. cheers!
[02:21] <AvonGenesis> DaZ, I'm still new to the operating system, the file structure confuses me xD
[02:21] <dsnyders> TheColonial, Good luck.
[02:21] <neoandersen> permission denyed to put a file inside the mozilla plugin directory... how to solve it?
[02:22] <rblst> tas1: you can use the automated installer
[02:22] <TonyTheTiger> the thing is lol I worked really hard to make ubuntu work well with my laptop and customised it.
[02:22] <TheColonial> dsnyders: thanks :)
[02:22] <tas1> automated installer?
[02:22] <tas1> http://i31.tinypic.com/1zdsxnq.jpg
[02:22] <dsnyders> TheColonial, On the bright side, most of the insects are gone if you need to make a trip north.
[02:22] <TonyTheTiger> I dont want to lose it via a reinstall
[02:22] <DaZ> AvonGenesis,  ~/ is you home directory, .fonts is hidden fonts catalog
[02:22] <tas1> thats where i am
[02:22] <Dr_Willis> tas1:   / is the 'root' filesystem  also called '/' it needs a partition, swap is a different parittion that is of the swap filesyste,m
[02:22] <DaZ> directory :f
[02:22] <tas1> ok
[02:22] <Dr_Willis> tas1:  or just leave part of the hard drive unallocated and tell the installer to auto partition the unallocated space
[02:22] <James147> tas1: mount point is where the drive should be mounted in the file structor, linux needs one partition to have the mount point of /
[02:23] <TheColonial> dsnyders: lol! They're just starting to appear down here ;) 33C here today in the latter part of Winter... out come the mozzies ;) Welcome to the subtropics!
[02:23] <Dr_Willis> tas1:  what is sda1 on your system? a different linux install?
[02:23] <dsnyders> TheColonial, Winter?  Are you down under somewhere?
[02:23] <TonyTheTiger> "Unable to connect to 128.243.253.119 8080" <-- get alot of these errors.
[02:23] <AvonGenesis> Daz, is it .fontconfig or .font?
[02:23] <TonyTheTiger> but the numbers are different.
[02:23] <tas1> sd1 is the partition i made for ubuntu
[02:23] <James147> tas1: on the /dev/sda1 (ext2) set the mount point to "/" (without quotes)
[02:23] <TonyTheTiger> but still the same unable to connect :(
[02:23] <DaZ> AvonGenesis, .fonts
[02:24] <Dr_Willis> tas1:  you have allready used 4 primary partitions you  may have a hard time actually USING that unallocated space at the end now.
[02:24] <mnaines> Dr_Willis: I found a drive for your servers
[02:24] <leaf-sheep> tas1: What are you running? Windows and Mac? From the looks of it.
[02:24] <IdleOne> TonyTheTiger: try changing the server in Software Sources
[02:24] <TheColonial> dsnyders: I am down under ... Brisbane, Australia
[02:24] <tas1> yeah leef-sheep
[02:25] <dsnyders> TheColonial, I'm in Toronto.  I hope to get to your side of the planet one of these days.
[02:25] <TonyTheTiger> IdleOne, I had someone from this irc help me modify my file which had info on the repos
[02:25] <TheColonial> dsnyders: Make sure you do mate. It's lovely down here :)
[02:25] <genii> Bah. Does anyone know offhand where dvd95 stores it's settings? My buddy set it to use an NTFS drive for temp files and crashed it, now won't start. Seems no ~/.dvd95    dir or similar
[02:25] <tas1> its telling me something about swap space
[02:25] <tas1> when i try sda1
[02:25] <IdleOne> TonyTheTiger: can you pastebin sources.list please
[02:26] <mnaines> !pastebin
[02:26] <leaf-sheep> tas1: It looks messy. Why do you only have a 100MB partition?
[02:26] <dsnyders> TheColonial, It's pretty nice up here too, if you fancy a trip some day.
[02:26] <tas1> i dont even know what that is
[02:26] <hossam> hello I followed this virtual user proftpd tutorial and now when attempting to connect to the ftp i get the error "invalid reply"
[02:26] <hossam> http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-hosting-with-proftpd-and-mysql-ubuntu-8.04
[02:26] <James147> tas1: swap space isent needed, but is recomended, with that curretn layout you cannot add swap space (max of 4 primary partitons) you would need to remove one and create a logical partition
[02:26] <TonyTheTiger> IdleOne, which folder was it in again? sorry im still newbie to ubuntu
[02:26] <dsnyders> TheColonial, anyways, good luck with the AD authentication.
[02:27] <James147> tas1: how much ram do you have?
[02:27] <tas1> James147: 3gb
[02:27] <IdleOne> TonyTheTiger: /etc/apt
[02:27] <xim_> if you sudo a sh script, do you still have to put sudo on all thecommands inside the script?
[02:27] <TheColonial> dsnyders: cheers mate. thanks again. enjoy your sunday night :)
[02:27] <mnaines> tas1: I have 4GB of RAM...If you get 1 more gigabyte of memory, you don't need swap space
[02:27] <James147> tas1: ubuntu should run fine without spaw space then
[02:28] <DaZ> mnaines, hibernation?
[02:28] <tas1> ok
[02:28] <James147> mnaines tas1: unless you do some majour immage/graphcs editing :)
[02:28] <DaZ> he doesn't need swap with 3gb either :F
[02:28] <mnaines> DaZ, no...I do not use hibernation...I will either do a full shutdown or leave the machine running
[02:28] <xim_> i keep 50 windows open on 8 desktops, 4gb isnt enough for me
[02:28] <TonyTheTiger> IdleOne, http://pastebin.com/d789f6338
[02:29] <James147> xim_: why?
[02:29] <AvonGenesis> DaZ, Yea, I can't seem to find a .fonts folder, only .fontconfig
[02:29] <xim_> James147: lol because i fill one up, then take a nap then dont close anything and goto the next one, thats why i love linux, it can handle it, but it does take some swap
[02:30] <AvonGenesis> DaZ, I'm in the right directory though.
[02:30] <Q_Continuum> In older versions of Ubuntu, there was a 'Hardware' option in under System->Preferences or Administration...any way to get that GUI-based hardware list back?
[02:30] <DaZ> AvonGenesis, solution may be really shocking
[02:30] <DaZ> AvonGenesis, create it.
[02:30] <TonyTheTiger> i have a sources backup file, could i use that?
[02:30] <IdleOne> TonyTheTiger: looks good
[02:30] <DaZ> AvonGenesis, mkdir ~/.fonts
[02:30] <TonyTheTiger> IdleOne, really? but something is definatly wrong.
[02:30] <AvonGenesis> DaZ, shouldn't it have already have been created from the start?
[02:31] <TonyTheTiger> cant upgrade or download anything unless i do it manually.
[02:31] <rblst> xim_: no, because there is a timeout of 15 minutes (i guess that's the default) within which you do not have to enter password again for sudo
[02:31] <IdleOne> TonyTheTiger: could just be that the repos are being updated
[02:31] <DaZ> AvonGenesis, systemfonts are somewhere in /usr/share so no
[02:31] <TonyTheTiger> IdleOne, no, my comp has been like this for months.
[02:31] <tas1> in gparted i have 3 spots of unallocated space, how can i combine those 3 togther?
[02:31] <TonyTheTiger> only decided to do something about it now.
[02:31] <IdleOne> hah well then there is something wrong TonyTheTiger
[02:31] <canthus13> tas1: Are they contguous?
[02:31] <canthus13> err. contiguous.
[02:31] <TonyTheTiger> yeah, any help?
[02:32] <emanon> hi all
[02:32] <tas1> i dont think so canthus13
[02:32] <canthus13> tas1: Then no.
[02:32] <AvonGenesis> DaZ, alright so its created, what goes in there? TrueTypeFonts?
[02:32] <canthus13> tas1: Not unless you delete the partitions in between.
[02:32] <IdleOne> TonyTheTiger: what does sudo apt-get install -f return?
[02:32] <xim_> rblst: i figured the answer was no, but not for that reason, i was more wondering if the sudo sh shellscript.sh, passes the authority into everything in the script....because my script could take 8 hours to run
[02:32] <James147_> tas1: if your still there you may want to look at your how your partitions are set up :S looks to me you have 61-100 gb wasted
[02:32] <James147_> tas1: if your still there you may want to look at your how your partitions are set up :S looks to me you have 61-100 gb wasted
[02:32] <tas1> yeah
[02:32] <tas1> thats what im trying to fix
[02:32] <tas1> :/
[02:33] <TonyTheTiger> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 212 not upgraded.
[02:33] <TonyTheTiger> IdleOne, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 212 not upgraded.
[02:33] <b3rz3rk3r> tas1, id say use Gparted, makes it easier to visualize whats going on
[02:33] <emanon> gparted is nice
[02:33] <tas1> yeah im using gparted
[02:33] <suphad> Hi. I have this Windows XP CD and I need to install it my netbook's other partition. I can retrieve the .ISO file, but how do I make the .ISO bootable from an USB Pendrive? What software do I use? Thank you. (using Ubuntu)
[02:34] <IdleOne> TonyTheTiger: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, but I suspect you will still have problems
[02:34] <emanon> used to use the live disk with clonezilla a few years ago for fixes hehe
[02:34] <rblst> xim_: sorry, you are right, it seems it is passed, i didn't know that
[02:34] <Dr_Willis> tas1:  if you need more then 4 parittions - you will want to make one extended, then put logicals inside the extended partition
[02:34] <AvonGenesis> DaZ, Nevermind, found an ubuntu wiki page related to fonts, thanks for your help so far!
[02:34] <xim_> rblst: lol thanks for trying it out for me, i guess i could have just done that myself
[02:35] <TonyTheTiger> IdleOne, i already tried that, someone told me to do that a before
[02:35] <TonyTheTiger> it gives the unable to blah blah
[02:35] <emanon> writing a iso or img to a usb drive is like dd if=<path to iso/img> of=<path to usb> bs=1m right?
[02:35] <Dr_Willis> tas1:  i dont see why you have a sda2 (ntfs) thats only 104mb in size. :)
[02:35] <IdleOne> TonyTheTiger: got me :( don't know what else you could do but keep asking there is a solution
[02:35] <Dr_Willis> emanon:  writing an ISO file that way - wont make a bootable  flash drive.
[02:35] <IdleOne> TonyTheTiger: hold of on re-installing for a little while yet
[02:36] <tas1> i know i have my partitions all messed up http://i32.tinypic.com/osu8ud.png
[02:36] <emanon> well it has to be a usb specific img i would imagine
[02:36] <tas1> how can i fix it
[02:36] <IdleOne> off*
[02:36] <Dr_Willis> emanon:  the Ubuntu Netbook remix .img file IS written that way. Be sure to use /dev/sdb or whatever Instead of /dev/sdb1
[02:36] <tas1> the 2 ntfs is windows and hfs is osx
[02:36] <emanon> one meant to run off a cd wouldnt be setup quite the same way i imagine
[02:36] <Dr_Willis> tas1:  id be tempted to tell you to backup all imporntant data  then work on it..
[02:36] <emanon> cause thats how you write the usb pcbsd img to a usb from linux
[02:37] <emanon> least thats what they say
[02:37] <TonyTheTiger> the thing is IdleOne this all started by me trying to fix the problem at my uni trying to use ubuntu
[02:37] <Dr_Willis> emanon:  for iso files  You use a tool like netbootin to do it.
[02:37] <TonyTheTiger> behind a proxy lan.
[02:37] <emanon> yea netbootin is probably better
[02:37] <tas1> Dr_Willis: everything is backed up, what can i do to fix it?
[02:37] <emanon> your right
[02:37] <b3rz3rk3r> tas1, wow, your partitions really are messed up! :p
[02:37] <tas1> yeah lol
[02:38] <emanon> anyone know how to do a more advanced partition configuration on a ubuntu/kubuntu install?
[02:38] <Dr_Willis> tas1:  You could resize the  sda4 to use the unallocated space.. then shrink it from the front,  and  then move sda3, THEn expand sda2 to a useable size.. or just use sda2 as your linux swap (of 104mb) thats still a little small for swap.
[02:38] <Dr_Willis> tas1:  IF gparted can even resize hfs+ it may not be able to.
[02:38] <b3rz3rk3r> emanon, just do it manually from the installation options, then u can do whatever you like
[02:38] <emanon> trying to do an encrypted lvm2 system on a raid with a removable boot partition
[02:38] <Dr_Willis> tas1:  and sll this resizing may take several hours.
[02:38] <tas1> yeah it lets me resize
[02:39] <tas1> hfs+
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> tas1:    the thing to rember is you can only have 4 Primary partitiosn. Youve used up all 4 allready.
[02:39] <tas1> i see
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> You CANT make any new partitions . untill you turn one of those primaries into an extended.
[02:39] <TonyTheTiger> anyone know how i can re-install my ubuntu?
[02:39] <emanon> b3rz3rk3r the ubuntu installation (on live or otherwise) doesnt offer raid, lvm or encryption options unless i missed something
[02:40] <b3rz3rk3r> TonyTheTiger, put a disk in and reboot
[02:40] <TonyTheTiger> easily/quickly
[02:40] <Dr_Willis> You could delete sda4 and remake it as a extended + logicals..
[02:40] <IdleOne> TonyTheTiger: go to System > Prefs > Network proxy it should be set to direct connection ( least mine is )
[02:40] <TonyTheTiger> can it not be done without reboot?
[02:40] <Dr_Willis> tas1:  but sda2 is just useless at 104mb in size. :)
[02:40] <TonyTheTiger> sorry i mean a disc
[02:40] <TonyTheTiger> done without a disc?
[02:40] <tas1> Dr_Willis, so what do u suggest me do?
[02:41] <Dr_Willis> tas1:  depends on yoru needs.
[02:41] <James147> TonyTheTiger: to reinstall you need a cd/dvd with the ubuntu image burned on it or a usb stick with it on
[02:41] <Dr_Willis> tas1 one suggestion allready ---> You could delete sda4 and remake it as a extended + logicals..
[02:41] <Dracofodder> anything recently causing soudn problems?  eg. latest updates int eh channel?  I just noticed my ubuntu 9.04 sound is gone, checked the usual thigs like cable connections, and ma now working my way through diagnostics.  But, am wondering if there might have been an update I need to back out of.
[02:41] <b3rz3rk3r> emanon, i dont use raid, and truecrypt handles my encryption, so i dont know about that.. sry :(
[02:41] <James147> tas1: deleteing sda4 will lose any data stored on there
[02:41] <emanon> ahh see isnt truecrypt for making encrypted partitions accessable from a non encrypted system?
[02:41] <James147> tas1: but is probally the best idea
[02:42] <tas1> ok
[02:42] <TonyTheTiger> IdleOne, hey your right, i had it set to manual when i was trying to get it to work at uni
[02:42] <Dr_Willis> tas1:  yep. it will lose your data there.. but other then resizeing it to use wasted space.. then reresizing it.. and slowly working your way to expand sda2... im not sure what else you want to do.
[02:42] <lascar> Dracofodder: same thing happened to me when I upgraded from intrepid months ago.  In fact, that's what I logged in to resolve!
[02:42] <TonyTheTiger> IdleOne, any way i can test if its working now?
[02:42] <IdleOne> TonyTheTiger: reset that to direct and then try update
[02:42] <Dr_Willis> tas1:   You dont 'need' a swap partition for linux.. but im not sure the installer  will let you go ahead without one.
[02:42] <IdleOne> sudo apt-get update TonyTheTiger
[02:42] <tas1> ok
[02:42] <jatt> is there a 64bit flash plugin for ubuntu?
[02:43] <James147> tas1: do you have much important data on any of the partitions?
[02:43] <Dracofodder> lascar: crumbs, and other things.. my sound has been golden-fine up until this week.  I just really noticed today, as I have been busy at work and really havent had time to do anything with the computer at home.
[02:43] <mnaines> jatt, I just use the Adobe Flash plugin from Synaptic
[02:43] <emanon> trying to make an encrypted lvm partition over the raid put 2 volumes on the lv group  (/ and swap of course) and encrypt the whole lvm with the /boot on a MS pro duo
[02:43] <tas1> Dr_Willis: ok i deleted sda4, now i have 2 unallocated spots
[02:43] <lascar> Dracofodder: does the headphones port work?
[02:43] <TonyTheTiger> IdleOne, well its doing something different, but its stuck on 5%
[02:44] <Dracofodder> lascar: checking.. I don't usually use it.
[02:44] <IdleOne> TonyTheTiger: let it work for a bit
[02:44] <mnaines> How good is ext4 file system for Linux?
[02:44] <TonyTheTiger> k.
[02:44] <Rakuli> Hello. Can anyone shed any light on why I would be getting segmentation fault for everything I am attempting to do on Ubuntu 8.04 (server edition)... It started with installing php-net-smtp and now I can't use SVN, MYSQL, Apache etc without "segmentation fault"
[02:44] <emanon> it seems to be pretty good but its still experimental i think mnaines
[02:44] <James147> mnaines: not had any problems with it so far
[02:44] <Dr_Willis> tas1:  should be one big unallolated place...
[02:45] <emanon> neither have i just saying
[02:45] <Dr_Willis> tas1:  hers my layout -> http://i30.tinypic.com/24mrn2g.jpg
[02:45] <tas1> Dr_Willis: yeah thats what i thought, but there is 2 :s
[02:45] <mnaines> James147, can BackTrack3 run on ext4?
[02:45] <Dr_Willis> tas1:  perhaps because you havent applied the changes.
[02:45] <James147> mnaines: not sure never trryed
[02:45] <neodark> alguien habla espanol?
[02:45] <Dracofodder> lascar: nope, no sound at all.
[02:45] <tas1> Dr_Willis: i did apply them
[02:46] <IdleOne> TonyTheTiger: if/when that completes run sudo apt-get upgrade and dist-upgrade and hopefully things will all work :)
[02:46] <Dr_Willis> tas1:  some times the system has to reboot to see the changes also properly.
[02:46] <tas1> Dr_Willis, ok
[02:46] <mnaines> James147: BT3 is based off slackware and I was able to run it including saving changes from a 4GB flash drive...I am thinking about getting a small eSATA drive for BT3
[02:46] <Dr_Willis> tas1:  if they are side by side. tell gparted to merge them i guess. :) or see if a reboot makes it smarter.
[02:46] <TonyTheTiger> IdleOne, http://pastebin.ca/1541102
[02:46] <Dracofodder> lascar:   got it... damn am I dumb.  checked the cables.. didn't check to see if someone in the house had turned the dang volume down
[02:46] <TonyTheTiger> lots of errors :(
[02:47] <leaf-sheep> tas1: Nice way to get message across with that "Torrents" directory.
[02:47] <Dracofodder> lascar: sigh
[02:47] <lascar> Dracofodder: agreed.
[02:47] <tas1> leaf-sheep, huh?
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> leaf-sheep:  you mean My torrents directory? :)
[02:47] <lascar> Dracofodder: have fun!  :-D
[02:47] <tas1> Dr_Willis, no they aint side-by-side but ill reboot and see if that works
[02:47] <tas1> ones at the top and one the bottom :s
[02:47] <James147> mnaines: ext3 is the safe options, but if you dont mind experimenting tryout ext4
[02:48] <Dracofodder> lascar: well, I'll leave you all with solving the real problems and stop mucking up the channel.
[02:48] <leaf-sheep> Dr_Willis: Bone skull and crossbones. Yes. :P
[02:48] <mnaines> James147: I am using ext4 right now for Ubuntu...So far it seems to be stable with no problems
[02:48] <IdleOne> TonyTheTiger: all the same error but it's more then before
[02:48] <Dr_Willis> leaf-sheep:  :) i did have a Porn Icon...
[02:48] <leaf-sheep> o.O
[02:48] <TonyTheTiger> yeah i remember the guy did something about changing ftp (since my uni banned ftp) to http.
[02:48] <TonyTheTiger> anyone can offer help with this, http://pastebin.ca/1541102
[02:48] <TonyTheTiger> please.
[02:48] <emanon> the part thats grinding my gears is that theres options for it in debian but their default packages suck (thus ubuntu) it works in fedora 11 till i reboot then it cant find the partitions hehe
[02:49] <lascar> Dracofodder: take care and...wish me luck?
[02:49] <James147> tas1: pastbin the output of "sudo sfdisk -l"
[02:49] <lascar> :-/
[02:50] <br34l> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[02:50] <IdleOne> TonyTheTiger: try dist-upgrade again
[02:50] <TonyTheTiger> ok
[02:51] <TonyTheTiger> looks like its stuck again, on 0% :(
[02:52] <Dracofodder> lascar:  good luck!  With this group for support, you are in good hands.

[02:58] <TonyTheTiger> RebelZero, which with my computer which was using ubuntu worked wonderfully.
[02:58] <bruce> rblst, crap now i can't find it. is it possible to create one within Gambas or would you recommend another database?
[02:58] <RebelZero> TonyTheTiger: you have your proxy settings turned off? the reason I ask is the IPs from your errors resolve to a nottingham proxy address.

[03:04] <dsnyders> AnActivist, Ask your questions.  I don't know a lot, but what knowledge I have is at your disposal
[03:04] <TonyTheTiger> RebelZero, http://pastebin.ca/1541114
[03:05] <gst> there are two input sources in gnome-volume control, wat are they?
[03:05] <rblst> YesImaLinuxN00B: what is the issue?
[03:05] <gst> i need to set only one of them but couldn't..
[03:05] <AnActivist> Righto: I have my apache2 server running and I can access it while I'm inside my LAN, however even when I place my files inside the /var/www/ folder they are not being served when i access the server from my browser?
[03:06] <TonyTheTiger> RebelZero, btw nottingham is the uni i went to.
[03:06] <gst> when i set one, the other one is also getting set
[03:06] <bruce> rblst? how do you create a db from the terminal?
[03:06] <cabrey> AnActivist, you mean you can access your server from your private lan, but not your public IP?
[03:06] <rblst> bruce: mysql -u root
[03:06] <dsnyders> AnActivist, what do you mean you can access them inside your lan?
[03:06] <rblst> bruce: create database <name>;
[03:07] <YesImaLinuxN00B> rblst: when i browse the network for computers and try to access ubuntu i get the error " cannot find \\HOSTNAMEhostname"
[03:07] <bruce> rblst, ru kidding? it's that easy?
[03:07] <AnActivist> cabrey, well thats another question :) but the first one is that I am unsure why the files I put inside the /var/www/ are not showing up in my browser when i access my server
[03:07] <cabrey> YesImaLinuxN00B, \\ is the windows way
[03:07] <RebelZero> TonyTheTiger: you care to take this to a PM? I get quite distracted with everyone elses chat.
[03:07] <SmithX> anyone know why switching desktops causes my fullscreen in firefox to exit?
[03:07] <rblst> bruce: should be, yes
[03:07] <TonyTheTiger> RebelZero, yeah thats cool with me.
[03:07] <bruce> thx a bunch. cya...
[03:08] <cabrey> AnActivist, have you checked permissions? what is the error given?
[03:08] <YesImaLinuxN00B> rblst: yes but it first puts the ubuntu hostname in all caps and without any spaces puts the hostname again
[03:08] <AnActivist> cabrey, there is no error its just that the only thing that my browser is showing is the index.html file, instead of indexing all the files I put in the /var/www/ folder
[03:09] <YesImaLinuxN00B> rblst: if i type "\\hostname" like its supposed to it workes fine
[03:09] <dsnyders> AnActivist, That's how it's supposed to work, no?
[03:09] <SmithX> also, does anyone have any idea why my desktop keyboard shortcuts (e.g. to control the volume) cause fullscreen mode to exit?
[03:09] <cabrey> AnActivist, I'm still not sure what you mean. the index.html is served up like it's supposed to

[03:11] <rblst> !ati | theophilus
[03:11] <SmithX> emanon: well, I was doing fullscreen hulu, so I think that's flash
[03:11] <emanon> i dont know why but altering the system volume with a fullscreen flash video running drops it out of fullscreen for me too
[03:11] <rblst> YesImaLinuxN00B: i can't help you with that, maybe someone else
[03:11] <SmithX> emanon: it's very annoying
[03:11] <AnActivist> cabrey, and dsnyders, I see so then how would I set up the server so I have access to files that I place in the /var/www/ folder, for example if I place image.jpg and document.doc in the /var/www/ I want to be able to access these files when I go to my server from a browser. I thought that I simply had to put the files into the /var/www/ and then I would be able to access them, perhaps I am doing somethign wrong?
[03:11] <emanon> i know

[03:12] <dsnyders> AnActivist, A web server will transmit index.html if it exists.  That's the file containing the home page of the website.
[03:12] <cabrey> AnActivist, you want to enable directory browsing? if you want that, you have to enable it in httpd.conf (or whatever it's called nowadays) and remove index.html

[03:13] <AnActivist> cabrey, and dsnyders cool thank you I'll do some reading on what you said and get back to you guys in a moment thank you very much
[03:13] <dsnyders> AnActivist, You could also put the files in a folder under /var/www and try accessing them that way.
[03:13] <SmithX> !fluxbox
[03:14] <SmithX> !wine
[03:14] <mick_laptop> !remix
[03:14] <mick_laptop> !ubuntu remix
[03:14] <IdleOne> !netbook
[03:14] <torn_> Are there any current-generation Linux distros that don't use repositories for software installation? And if so, do these distros rely on grabbing binaries and source files from the authors' websites? (And what about handling uninstallation?)
[03:15] <mick_laptop> i wanted to know if there was a channel for ubuntu on netbooks
[03:15] <torn_> mick_laptop, I use Ubuntu Netbook Remix.
[03:15] <mick_laptop> torn_: do you have a process w/ that name?
[03:15] <mick_laptop>  /USR/SBIN/CRON
[03:15] <mick_laptop> in all caps
[03:15] <|Slacker|> mick_laptop, I uset it either
[03:16] <torn_> mick_laptop, what do you mean by that?
[03:16] <di||itante> torn_:slackware
[03:16] <mick_laptop> ps ax | grep SBIN
[03:16] <torn_> di||itante, so with Slackware, you pretty much are stuck with grabbing binaries and source files from the web?
[03:16] <dsnyders> AnActivist, There is also a file called .htaccess that controls visibility of folder contents.  See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/htaccess.html
[03:16] <gst> any skype users overhere? with whom i can give a test call????????????/
[03:16] <di||itante> torn_: pretty much
[03:16] <torn_> mick_laptop, no. When running Ubuntu NBR, I don't have such a process running.
[03:17] <SmithX> !hardening
[03:17] <SmithX> !security
[03:17] <mick_laptop> ah shit, my box may be owned
[03:17] <gizmobay> Anyone know how I can install kernel 2.6.30?
[03:17] <torn_> di||itante, I would have thought that repositories would have phased out the older methods by now... 2009....
[03:17] <di||itante> torn_: some like it that way
[03:18] <gst> iran !root it tells me event not found
[03:18] <|Slacker|> mick_laptop, I have but not in all caps
[03:18] <torn_> mick_laptop, what user is the process running under?
[03:18] <mick_laptop> and now that process is gone
[03:18] <SecMonk> mick_laptop: /USR/SBIN/CRON can possibly be a child process of /usr/sbin/cron
[03:18] <mick_laptop> i wanted to check
[03:19] <mick_laptop> but in all caps?
[03:19] <rblst> gizmobay: you need to compile it from source and then install it
[03:19] <SecMonk> mick_laptop: yes
[03:19] <mick_laptop> there is no /USR
[03:19] <torn_> All in caps is a bit unusual...
[03:19] <SmithX> mick_laptop: do a pstree to see what it's parent is
[03:19] <torn_> gst, did you get my message?
[03:19] <mick_laptop> like i said the process is gone
[03:19] <a94060> could someone help me? I have the firefox meta package installed, but it doesnt upgrade to v3.5
[03:19] <SmithX> mick_laptop: check your glasses
[03:19] <gizmobay> rblst: no packages?
[03:20] <lstarnes> mick_laptop: what about a process named /usr/sbin/cron?
[03:20] <dsnyders> mick_laptop, do you have a folder named /USR?
[03:20] <seven-up> is there something similar or like kazaa, bearshare, etc in windows to use p2p but no torrents?
[03:20] <gst> torn_, no..
[03:20] <lstarnes> a94060: how did you attempt to upgrade it?
[03:20] <mick_laptop> dsnyders: no
[03:20] <SecMonk> mick_laptop: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-user@lists.debian.org/msg376263.html   <-- this explains it
[03:20] <|Slacker|> seven-up, limewire?
[03:20] <a94060> synaptic. I first ran apt-get update. But if i go in the manager,i see the meta package which is installed. However it links to the 3.0 version
[03:20] <lstarnes> a94060: which version of ubuntu?
[03:21] <gst> torn_, i badly need to test my skype
[03:21] <a94060> jaunty,eeebuntu if that makes a diffrence lstarnes
[03:21] <rblst> gizmobay: ubuntu 9.04 currently uses 2.6.28, i don't think you can install a different one from packages
[03:21] <torn_> gst, send me a private message.
[03:21] <lstarnes> a94060: try the firefox-3.5 package
[03:21] <mick_laptop> ah thanks!
[03:21] <gizmobay> ok thanks
[03:21] <SecMonk> mick_laptop: Depending on how often your cron entries fire, that /USR/SBIN/CRON will come and go from your process lsit.
[03:21] <SecMonk> lsit
[03:21] <SecMonk> list
[03:21] <lstarnes> a94060: that will install firefox 3.5 separately, but for branding reasons it will be referred to as "shiretoko" in the menus, which is the codename for it during development
[03:22] <mick_laptop> yup - i get it (i read it)
[03:22] <AnActivist> cabrey, and dsnyders: modifying the httpd.conf and adding the directory along with removing the index.html worked perfectly thank you for your help. Now I am trying to access my server from anywhere from the internet, I am familiar with port forwarding and have set up a static ip and forwarded port 80 but still cannot access my apache server outside my LAN
[03:22] <CoRnJuLiOx> is there an easy way to enable 3d acceleration for my radeon mobility 7500?
[03:22] <cabrey> AnActivist, it is possible your ISP blocks port 80
[03:22] <a94060> lstarnes: well im sure i can install like that,i just want to know if there is a way to keep the meta package and do. If i try to remove the meta package,it tells me about some other things whch will be removed
[03:22] <madLyfe> how do you kill running apps?
[03:22] <TheWeeve> j
[03:22] <AnActivist> cabrey, maybe but strangley enough I cannot ssh in from the outside either
[03:22] <lstarnes> a94060: installing firefox-3.5 will not affect the meta package
[03:22] <seven-up> |Slacker|: yeah limewire but to work with linux
[03:23] <AnActivist> cabrey, when I change to port 81 I still cannot
[03:23] <torn_> CoRnJuLiOx, you need to install the proprietary ATI driver for Linux.
[03:23] <cabrey> AnActivist, your server has a static IP and you've port forwarded everything correctly?
[03:23] <torn_> The open source driver will only give you 2-D capabilities.
[03:23] <|Slacker|> seven-up, there's limewire for linux dude
[03:23] <a94060> lstarnes: but if i uninstall 3.0,it will remove the metapackage,because it depends on 3.0(which is its "latest" version of ff)
[03:23] <cabrey> AnActivist, and there is no firewall (or at least the correct rules are in place) on the server?
[03:23] <|Slacker|> ;)
[03:23] <aubre> madLyfe: you can try pkill -9 appname
[03:23] <torn_> seven-up, check out FrostWire.
[03:23] <mick_laptop> AnActivist: do you get a loopback from your ISP?
[03:23] <lstarnes> a94060: firefox-3.5 will not affect firefox-3.0
[03:24] <a94060> lstarnes: double the space?
[03:24] <mick_laptop> AnActivist: try from a box outside your network if you don't
[03:24] <dsnyders> AnActivist, can you ping the box?
[03:24] <lstarnes> a94060: I'm not sure what you mean by that
[03:24] <AnActivist> dsnyders, I will try to ping it now
[03:24] <AnActivist> mick_laptop, what is a loopback?
[03:24] <mick_laptop> AnActivist: ping will not work since most ISPs block ICMP
[03:24] <aubre> madLyfe: if you know the process ID (say from ps) you can do a kill -9 processID (PID)
[03:24] <a94060> lstarnes: will it install both versions,causing more space than just v3.5 being taken up?
[03:24] <thiebaude> seven-up, getdeb has limewire
[03:25] <lstarnes> a94060: do you already have firefox-3.0 installed?
[03:25] <mick_laptop> AnActivist: what is your ip? (/msg if you feel better to not publicize it)
[03:25] <divyanshu> guys tell  me something..if i want to put up win xp in addition to ubuntu...will it require me to create manula partition for windows..??
[03:25] <mick_laptop> AnActivist: it allows you to get to youy network from within your network
[03:25] <a94060> lstarnes: yes i do
[03:26] <lstarnes> a94060: it will use up some more space, but not very much
[03:26] <mick_laptop> divyanshu: you need windows on the first part of the harddrive
[03:26] <djyoung4> need help getting my sound recorder to work
[03:26] <mick_laptop> divyanshu: or use virtualization
[03:26] <AnActivist> mick_laptop, msged*
[03:26] <divyanshu> how do i do that
[03:26] <a94060> lstarnes: so it would be reccomended to do that if i want to keep the firefox meta? Is it reccomended to keep that or doesnt matter?
[03:26] <Nom-> Hey guys... hoping someone can help me out on this one...  I've got a script called nph-count sitting inside a ScriptAlias on Apache.  The headers (ie. Content-type) are being sent to the browser as content instead of headers.  If I rename the script to "foo" instead of "nph-count", it works perfectly.  I've been through the apache configs, and there's no specific config for it, so any ideas?
[03:26] <divyanshu> is their somethin like partition magic in ubuntu
[03:27] <Guest93748> divyanshu yes, gparted
[03:27] <thiebaude> !gparted
[03:27] <lstarnes> a94060: you should probably keep it, especially if you plan to upgrade tp a later version
[03:27] <Schmitty> If im running a program and it quits qith a seg fault. Who's fault is that? Is it a problem with the program? Did I do something wrong? Can I fix this if im not the person who wrote it?
[03:27] <lstarnes> *to
[03:27] <lstarnes> Schmitty: what program?
[03:27] <a94060> lstarnes: let me just fire it up. Ill try to partially clear myself up also
[03:27] <torn_> I really think the Ubuntu IRC channel should be separated into different channels. One for troubleshooting. Another for discussions. And maybe another for configuring/using programs, like Compiz, etc.
[03:27] <divyanshu> so i can create a new partition using gparted and put win xp there??
[03:27] <lstarnes> Schmitty: it's most likely a memory access error caused by the program
[03:27] <Schmitty> lstarnes: schrontech bbs
[03:27] <SecMonk> tom_++
[03:27] <a94060> divyanshu: you should just use a vm if you dont want to mess a lot with it
[03:28] <Schmitty> synchronet bbs
[03:28] <divyanshu> i have no experience with virtual machine
[03:28] <thiebaude> !vm
[03:28] <a94060> divyanshu: are u better at partitioning?
[03:28] <divyanshu> no i need to start learning it
[03:29] <lstarnes> torn_: there are already a huge number of channels associated with ubuntu.  See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat
[03:29] <divyanshu> so..do i go for gparted or use a vm
[03:29] <a94060> lstarnes: if i remove firefox3.0 it says firefox,ubufox,sun java 6 plugin will be removed. Therre are other ones,but they are also available for 35.
[03:29] <thiebaude> divyanshu, if you have enough memory, vm
[03:29] <a94060> divyanshu: there is a ggreater possibility of being destructive with partitioning
[03:30] <lstarnes> a94060: then you should keep firefox-3.0
[03:30] <Schmitty> When a program throws a Segmentation Fault, it's a problem with the code right?
[03:30] <a94060> *3.5
[03:30] <lstarnes> Schmitty: it's a problem with the program in most cases
[03:30] <divyanshu> so tell me more abt using vm
[03:30] <madLyfe> what if i dont know the process id?
[03:30] <Schmitty> lstarnes: k
[03:30] <madLyfe> i know ive done it before but i used like kill all or something
[03:30] <lstarnes> madLyfe: use pgrep, pkill, or killall
[03:30] <a94060> divyanshu: your operating system is emulated. Tryout virtualbox. Its easy to use,u can shoot questions here if you need help,but selfexplanitory mstly
[03:31] <a94060> lstarnes: alright,i will then. thanks
[03:31] <thiebaude> divyanshu, how much ram do you have?
[03:31] <divyanshu> 4gb
[03:31] <thiebaude> divyanshu, you got plenty
[03:31] <divyanshu> where do i find virtualbox
[03:31] <thiebaude> !vb
[03:32] <a94060> apt-get
[03:32] <thiebaude> !vm
[03:32] <torn_> divyanshu, http.www.virtualbox.org
[03:32] <divyanshu> so do u suggest partitioning or vm
[03:32] <di||itante> Ok, I left for vacation and left my laptop running at home (on purpose), but I forgot to lock the gnome session. Anyone know how to do that from the cmd line for that session?
[03:32] <divyanshu> ok i c
[03:32] <a94060> divyanshu: sudo apt-get install virtualbox
[03:32] <madLyfe> hrmmm.. i have an app running and i cant close it nor shutdown system
[03:32] <YesImaLinuxN00B> anyone. i get "\\HOSTNAMEhostname server (Samba, Ubuntu) is not accessible" when trying to access an ubuntu share from windows
[03:32] <madLyfe> dunno how to close it..
[03:32] <torn_> divyanshu, if you only need Windows to run low-end applications, then VirtualBox would be better, and more convenient.
[03:32] <a94060> lstarnes: 28 more mb will be used with installation of 3.5
[03:33] <torn_> But if you need Windows for gaming or running high-end applications, I would do a dual-boot system.
[03:33] <divyanshu> ok
[03:33] <dsnyders> di||itante, you could stop the x server by /etc/init.rd gdm stop
[03:33] <divyanshu> a94060: divyanshu: sudo apt-get install virtualbox...................??...tell me more
[03:33] <lstarnes> a94060: how much space do you have?
[03:33] <torn_> At least with a virtual machine, you don't need to worry about partition, or dual-booting, or messing up the Master Boot Record (MBR) of your hard disk.
[03:33] <di||itante> dsnyders: dont want to stop it
[03:33] <lstarnes> divyanshu: I think the package is virtualbox-ose
[03:33] <a94060> lstarnes: well i got enough space...just being conservative. trying to keep machine trim
[03:33] <kamalao> what software do I need to creat a Bootable USB drive with Windows? tried UNetbootin without success.
[03:34] <thiebaude> torn_, yep, thats the good thing about it
[03:34] <dsnyders> di||itante, just an off-the-cuff idea.
[03:34] <divyanshu> it must have been installed already i guess
[03:34] <lstarnes> a94060: in later versions of ubuntu, firefox 3.5 will replace 3.0 in the meta package
[03:34] <lstarnes> a94060: possibly firefox 3.6 in the release after 9.10
[03:35] <a94060> lstarnes: yes,i know it wil happen. its just if i want 3.5 now
[03:35] <thiebaude> a94060, ubuntu 9.10 will have firefox 3.5 by default
[03:35] <di||itante> dsnyders: thanks, I just need to leave Gnome running buut lock it down
[03:35] <a94060> thiebaude: how long till 9.10?
[03:35] <thiebaude> a94060, Oct
[03:35] <lstarnes> a94060: late October
[03:35] <thiebaude> yep the 29th i think
[03:35] <a94060> alrighty thiebaude lstarnes ,thanks a lot. I guess ill just wait
[03:35] <kamalao> let me rewrite it in a clear manner... what Linux software do I need to create a Windows USB bootable Pendrive? Tried UNetbootin already and it didn't work.
[03:36] <lstarnes> a94060: I would wait until a couple months after that before upgrading
[03:36] <dsnyders> di||itante, Well, a round about way would be to install VNC, then log in remotely and lock it... if no better ideas come along.
[03:36] <a94060> alrighty lstarnes
[03:36] <dsnyders> di||itante, :-)
[03:36] <a94060> kamalao: can u run winsetupfromusb via wine? Thats what i use on windows to make one
[03:36] <thiebaude> a94060, 9.10 is still in developement, so it Might break
[03:36] <di||itante> dsnyders: thanks
[03:37] <thiebaude> !alpha
[03:37] <slide> Im trying to mount a samba share from my server on my ubuntu desktop. On the server, I have it setup so ONLY guest can access the share so there should be NO file owner/groups whatever so that anyone can edit the share. When I mount it using mount.cifs it shows all the actual file permissions instead of nothing
[03:37] <slide> I can access/edit everyhting in windows
[03:37] <slide> but not this way
[03:37] <steven223943> I have a strange issue, I just did a bunch of updates, when i restart there are no menus. It's in gnome and the kernel version doesn't matter
[03:37] <steven223943> any ideas?
[03:38] <kamalao> a94060, well, gotta try.
[03:38] <kamalao> I was hoping for a linux native solution
[03:38] <a94060> kamalao: mmm,i dont know of one haha
[03:39] <YesImaLinuxN00B> slide: im having an issue with samba as well. u ever have where windows tries to access \\HOSTNAMEhostname
[03:39] <slide> YesImaLinuxN00B, hrm nope never seen that
[03:39] <thomast> Evening, all.
[03:39] <YesImaLinuxN00B> slide: dang
[03:39] <slide> sorry =\
[03:39] <thiebaude> thomast, hi
[03:40] <steven223943> howdy thomast
[03:40] <James147> slide: you can use "force user = USER" to force all users to USER
[03:40] <djyoung4> i am having problems getting the the sound recorder to work
[03:40] <steven223943> anyone ever have all your menues dissapear in gnome?
[03:40] <di||itante> slide: Just because you have samba set as read only, doesnt mean the attributes dont exist, and that you can see the attributes with the cifs mount doenst change them
[03:40] <dsnyders> di||itante, This might be a starting place: http://linuxnongeek.com/2008/05/11/how-to-lock-the-screen-in-gnome/
[03:41] <di||itante> dsnyders: thanks reading now
[03:41] <thomast> I've looked around for this issue, very odd. My HP laptop boots into Ubuntu Jaunty fine when plugged in, but gets stuck part way through the first Ubuntu logo screen when trying to boot from battery. Have to hard power down to get out.
[03:41] <slide> di||itante, its not read only, it should be read/write all
[03:41] <djyoung4> i dont know what the card is and i havent found any drivers for ti
[03:41] <slide> so any login should be able to read/write
[03:42] <di||itante> slide: ok, im sorry, what is the problem again
[03:42] <steven223943> thomas, do you have any bois options that disable things on battery power?
[03:42] <thomast> Battery is fully charged, and boots into Vista fine (dual boot, using Ubuntu boot manager with Ubuntu as the default.
[03:42] <slide> di||itante, when I mount it using mount.cifs, i see the actual permissions on the server and that is limiting what can edit the files on my computer
[03:42] <YesImaLinuxN00B> i get "\\HOSTNAMEhostname server (Samba, Ubuntu) is not accessible" when trying to access an ubuntu share from windows when its supposed to be "\\hostname". anyone know why?
[03:43] <thomast> steven - interesting - I'll have to check. I was wondering if there's a log that I could check when this happens to try and pin down the sticking point.
[03:43] <a94060> thomast: try dmesg to look at kernel messages? turn off the quiet opion in menu,lst?
[03:44] <di||itante> slide: have you used smbpasswd to thet the credentias of your user
[03:44] <dsnyders> di||itante, Here's another: http://howto-ubuntu.com/2008/12/11/how-to-lock-your-screen-from-the-command-line/
[03:44] <slide> di||itante, no, the only credentials the share should need are 'guest/guest'
[03:45] <steven223943> has anyone had gnome drop all the menus after an update?
[03:45] <di||itante> dsnyders: thats it, now i just need to know how to do it remotely for the user that is runnong gnome
[03:45] <a94060> steven223943: what do you mean by that?
[03:45] <thomast> a94060 - wouldn't that require a succesful boot?
[03:45] <djyoung4> can anybody help with fixing a sound recorder
[03:46] <dsnyders> di||itante, the su command allows you to switch user.
[03:46] <a94060> thomast: you could do it right when u get the option,u could edit it on the fly
[03:46] <steven223943> the only thing that shows up are icons on the desktop but i can't get to anything, no menus ect.
[03:46] <seven-up> hello a emulator to run java based cellphone games?
[03:46] <James147> slide: try setting create mask   force user   and  directory mask   for the shares
[03:46] <dsnyders> di||itante, you'd have to know the password though.
[03:46] <di||itante> dsnyders: true but it wont put me in that login session
[03:46] <a94060> steven223943: its possible your panel configuration was deleted/overwritten?
[03:47] <delimax> hey
[03:47] <veinor> Is us.archive.ubuntu.com failing for anybody else?
[03:47] <a94060> veinor: its recolving and responding to pings for me
[03:47] <a94060> *solving
[03:47] <seven-up> google is (on me) heh, thats weird
[03:48] <lstarnes> veinor: it's responding to pings
[03:48] <veinor> a94060: pings are fine, but I'm having intermittent issues when I actually try to get something from it.
[03:48] <a94060> ahh ok
[03:48] <di||itante> dsnyders: ie. on the remote machine is running gnome as mike, im ssh'd in as mike, but that ssh sesssion is a divverent login on a different tty
[03:48] <ctmjr> !panels | steven223943
[03:48] <ahmeni> veinor: Im having the same issues with ca.archive.ubuntu.com
[03:48] <steven223943> a94060: how would i check that?
[03:48] <veinor> yeah, pings aren't the issue
[03:48] <a94060> there ctmjr just told u how to restore them
[03:49] <a94060> !terminal
[03:49] <lstarnes> .ll -cl
[03:49] <lstarnes> oops
[03:49] <veinor> working fine for me right now, but it's going back and forth between working and not.
[03:50] <dsnyders> di||itante, something in the back of my mind is saying there is a way to join a session in progress.  I may be thinking of a hardware terminal server, though.
[03:50] <ctmjr> steven223943: if that does not work try this sudo rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel then restart
[03:50] <TonyTheTiger> guys how do i change the network proxy settings for the terminal, i have changed in the gui but terminal wont update.
[03:51] <di||itante> dsnyders: thanks a ton, ill keep researching
[03:51] <dsnyders> di||itante, If google hits anything, I'll let you know.
[03:51] <kamalao> a94060, yep, it doesn't open. it does install but does not open. so no deal with WinSetupFromUSB

[03:56] <PuterPutter> sal%@$
[03:57] <Zxcvb> anyone using kernel 2.6.31 rc7?
[03:57] <DaZ> i used rc6 :f
[03:57] <a94060> veinor: what was your problem? I forgot
[03:58] <Zxcvb> DaZ: any major issues?
[03:58] <Ten-Eight> my pidgin updated itself today to the latest version.
[03:58] <DaZ> Zxcvb, no
[03:58] <Zxcvb> using rc5 currently
[03:58] <cak054_> and do "view image"
[03:58] <cak054_> < ShortWave> it might actually open to full size
[03:58] <cak054_> < ShortWave> WTF is pubsub anyway?
[03:59] <bobertdos> If one wanted to GENTLY end a process via the command line, is there something other than kill to use?
[03:59] <Corey_> this is random, but does anyone know the key combos for window switcher and google desktop search in gOS 3.1 on the top of their head?
[03:59] <DaZ> bobertdos, kill is very gentle <:
[03:59] <DaZ> kde apps have kquitapp
[04:00] <J-_> there's always xkill :P
[04:00] <veinor> bobertdos: kill by default uses sigterm, which is as gentle as you can get
[04:00] <J-_> I don't think xkill is gentle though
[04:00] <bobertdos> Okay, thank you all, that is all I really wanted to know :)
[04:01] <veinor> yeah, xkill is a last resort for me when even kill -9 fails
[04:01] <veinor> (it's happened!)
[04:01] <madLyfe> whats the diff between ubuntu and ubuntu server?
[04:01] <TonyTheTiger> hi my ubuntu keeps trying to use a previous proxy i had set up when now im telling it to connect directly to the internet.
[04:01] <James147> madLyfe: most knocible is the server dosent ahve a gui by default
[04:02] <a94060> madLyfe: it doesnt include gui
[04:02] <James147> madLyfe: other things like it has more server applications installed by default, the kernel is build more for servers
[04:02] <James147> madLyfe: but they share the same repos fo you can switch from a desktop install to a server install if you really wanted
[04:03] <James147> madLyfe: or install any app on either
[04:04] <werny> I just installed ubuntu today and I can't get my sound to work
[04:04] <James147> madLyfe: generally if you want to use a desktop, install the desktop release
[04:04] <madLyfe> ok
[04:04] <JohannesSM64> is it normal that trying to open a file directly from an ftp server (which i assume downloads the file to a temp dir and opens it) causes the program that tries to open it to crash?
[04:04] <JohannesSM64> using the file browser
[04:05] <JohannesSM64> or rather, freeze
[04:05] <JohannesSM64> forever
[04:06] <JohannesSM64> now the file browser crashed..
[04:07] <JohannesSM64> it works like a charm with local files
[04:07] <JohannesSM64> but ftp..

[04:22] <divyanshu> this command is for terminal
[04:22] <the-erm1> I'm having an odd problem in firefox pressing control+wheel doesn't zoom in/out any ideas?  I've check about:config and the mousewheel settings.

[04:23] <leaf-sheep> atrius: #pidgin
[04:23] <coldReactive42> How can I connect to a mac address via my LAN?
[04:23] <atrius> leaf-sheep: i'll check there
[04:23] <ctmjr> divyanshu: no it gives the kernel version leave it like it is
[04:24] <coldReactive42> I want to give a PXE some files, but don't know how to connect to it
[04:24] <divyanshu> gr8 fine
[04:24] <coldReactive42> Rather, I should say, I want to setup windows through PXE while keeping Ubuntu on my only other PC
[04:25] <the-erm> odd pidgin locked up.
[04:26] <ctmjr> t0s: did you run any commands after installing the driver?
[04:27] <divyanshu> guys ..so am stuck with my sound problem for quite a while....i went thru with the troubleshooting page...but still no sound
[04:27] <divyanshu> any ideas??
[04:28] <atrius> is anyone else using pidgin 2.6.1?
[04:28] <t0s> ctmjr, well i went by this website http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu but it didnt work so i just changed my xorg.conf back to original and re-ran the installation file
[04:29] <Varth> Firefox now segmentation faults whenever I try to open it. Can someone please help me out?
[04:30] <ctmjr> t0s: after installing the driver from the website you need to run sudo aticonfig --initial in a terminal so it will load the driver
[04:30] <coldReactive42> I want to setup windows through PXE while keeping Ubuntu on my only other PC. But all the tutorials out there use tftp configuration, and it's just too much for me.
[04:30] <atrius> am i the only person running pidgin 2.6.1 on ubuntu?
[04:30] <noisserpxe> hi....is this the chat room for new ubuntu users?
[04:31] <imgoofygoober> i am running 2.5.5
[04:31] <leaf-sheep> atrius: No. There are many users running Pidgin-2.6.1 including myself... and you.
[04:31] <divyanshu> how do i know the version of pidgin
[04:31] <t0s> do i need to reinstall it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/258409/
[04:31] <atrius> leaf-sheep: have you noticed a problem with preferences not being saved correctly?
[04:31] <the-erm> noisserpxe: I think its for everyone.
[04:31] <leaf-sheep> noisserpxe: Yes. Welcome to #ubuntu -- Type "/topic" without the quotes.
[04:32] <leaf-sheep> divyanshu: aptitude show pidgin
[04:32] <kevdog> just type pidgin -version at command line
[04:33] <divyanshu> guys need some help with my sound
[04:33] <Ivoz> how do i upgrade to firefox 3.5?
[04:33] <dotblank> atrius, I also run 2.6.1 even on 9.10 64 bit :)

[04:33] <Ivoz> Ubuntu's blanked out firefox's update option :S
[04:33] <atrius> dotblank: ah, thanks :)
[04:34] <J-_> You know how when you start up ubuntu and see all the daemons starting up when starting up, and if one fails to, it goes red, etc.? Where can I see a list of those things starting up to see which one failed?
[04:34] <gst> any skype users over here?
[04:34] <noisserpxe> sweet. thanks the-erm and leaf-sheep. I'm helping my friend....she just set up Ubuntu and I've only had it for a short while....she can't get an internet connection so I'm on X-chat for her. I think she downloaded GNU:686 ......and she wants to know where to find information on how to make her wireless work.
[04:34] <dotblank> atrius, took some effort
[04:34] <atrius> dotblank: how so?
[04:34] <tamale> can anyone here help me try to rebuild my mdadm array?  I'm getting 'mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/md0' when I try to mount it after assembling
[04:34] <dotblank> atrius, had to compile from source and satasify dependancies and unlink some .so files
[04:34] <leaf-sheep> J-_: I think after you reboot, you can CTRL + ALT + F1 to your first terminal console.
[04:35] <gst> mic is not recording properly..
[04:35] <Ivoz> Why has ubuntu stopped firefox updating? How do I get it to 3.5?
[04:35] <gst> any suggestions?
[04:35] <atrius> dotblank: that's always fun :)
[04:35] <leaf-sheep> Ivoz: Jaunty?
[04:35] <J-_> leaf-sheep: cool thanks
[04:35] <noisserpxe> hey jMyles
[04:35] <Ivoz> uh yeah, leaf-sheep
[04:35] <Varth> gst: Had problems with my mic on my Lenovo S10, upgrading to alsa to whatever-.20 fixed everything. Just a thought.
[04:35] <Varth> Firefox now segmentation faults whenever I try to open it. Can someone please help me out?
[04:36] <leaf-sheep> Ivoz: Have you seen this?
[04:36] <leaf-sheep> !ff35 | Ivoz
[04:36] <leaf-sheep> Ivoz: Also, to find out the Firefox version, you could type "about:" in the Firefox Address Bar.
[04:36] <the-erm> gst: open up audacity and play with alsamixer (from the terminal) until you get it to work in there.
[04:36] <gst> where do i find audacity?
[04:37] <gst> i use alsamixer -V all
[04:37] <Guest57596> Where can I find a guide for internet sharing between Ubuntu and windows XP in a dual boot environment on one machine?
[04:37] <divyanshu> this might sound funny....but ubuntu doesnt play sound
[04:37] <divyanshu> lolz
[04:37] <Ivoz> leaf-sheap: do you know what package to install from the package manager?
[04:37] <divyanshu> :)
[04:37] <Ivoz> leaf-sheep: there's heaps of them
[04:37] <the-erm> Varth: try creating a different profile with the -ProfileManager option and use that.  Perhaps your data is corrupt for one reason or another.
[04:38] <JohannesSM64> is it possible to paste multiline text in the terminal without having it executed immediately?
[04:39] <ramsey1> i need help really quick.   How do i get network services like MySql to run on my ubuntu machine without having to login to that machine??
[04:39] <the-erm> JohannesSM64: nope
[04:39] <leaf-sheep> JohannesSM64: I wouldn't think so. -- Unless you paste everything on a single line.
[04:39] <Silver_Swords> any help with APTonCD? when doing a 'create' it gives "FATAL -> Failed to fork."
[04:39] <the-erm> JohannesSM64: I think your best bet is to put it into a text editor (like gedit) and edit it there.
[04:40] <Guest57596> Perhaps a command to disable auto eth0 completely
[04:40] <Varth> the-erm: That did it! Thanks for the help. Now to get all my stuff back to the other profile...
[04:40] <tamale> i really  need help recovering my raid array.. can anyone help?
[04:40] <the-erm> ramsey1: mysql-server is a service, it should automatically start up when the machine boots.  You might need to check the services and see if it's enabled.
[04:41] <the-erm> ramsey1: also in my.cnf you'll have to make sure it's "bind" isn't set to 127.0.0.1 if you want other machines to access it.
[04:41] <muhammad_> اه

[04:51] <Silver_Swords> RolaBlade: i got tons of nokia phones. every time i had a problem seeing it, it's because of the cable/connector.
[04:51] <pshr> kidblooper, is there a solution
[04:51] <Guest57596> Should I just give up on it?
[04:52] <nation> wow this ubuntu is cool :P
[04:52] <droid7> Guest57596, that doesn't make sense. A connection cannot be stolen unless the connection is so weak that the first to connect prevents the others from connecting.
[04:52] <kidblooper> ok pshr give me a sec.. i 'll scan a few of the forums.. just wanted to make sure i had the correct problem
[04:52] <pshr> ^_^
[04:52] <Silver_Swords> RolaBlade: also if you have a bad memory card in it, it would do that as well.

[04:53] <RolaBlade> Silver_Swords: I dont think it is a bad memory card because I can access it perfectly if I use a windows machine
[04:53] <Guest57596> maybe stolen isn't the right word... when I intalled the OS the connection no longer works on XP but works perfectly on Ubuntu
[04:53] <nation> i cant bridge my wlan with me etho

[04:54] <nation> no i meant i installed it to the drive

[04:54] <leaf-sheep> nation: sudo aptitude install bridge-utils

[04:54] <nation> i did that
[04:54] <droid7> Guest57596, have you checked if the time is set correctly? Sometimes when setting time using 'UTC', window's time configuration becomes messed up and prevents other applications from opperating as expected.
[04:55] <dragonunderling> mount.nfs: remote share not in 'host:dir' format
[04:55] <kidblooper> did you catch that pshr ?

[05:04] <JohannesSM64> even after going to system > prefs > preferred apps and setting multimedia player to mplayer, mkvs are still opened in totem media player.
[05:05] <Code_Bleu> make sure you put the correct workgroup/domain and user you want to login with:  sudo mount.cifs //mybookworld/nfs/public /mnt/public --username=workgroup/user
[05:05] <Silver_Swords> RolaBlade: what option are you choosing when prompted?
[05:06] <dragonunderling> hmm... how do i tell my username and workgroup.. I dont think i specified that when i set the drive up
[05:06] <nation> ok am i back
[05:06] <nation> ????
[05:06] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: are you trying to connect to an actual windows share? or a samba share on linux?
[05:07] <dragonunderling> im trying to connect to a western digital external network drive
[05:07] <Silver_Swords> .

[05:07] <dragonunderling> drive
[05:07] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: that is different
[05:07] <dragonunderling> ok lol
[05:08] <nation> i didnt see where to creat a new connetion
[05:08] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderlnig: that would be ntfs partition, not nfs share
[05:08] <dragonunderling> ahh ok
[05:08] <dragonunderling> so how would i mount that?
[05:09] <nation> did see where it says to share the device to share the device to other computers
[05:09] <zruty> Tthanks, leaf-sheep

[05:10] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: let me ask you something else.  you want read/write access, or just read-only?
[05:10] <devrmst> Can somebody help me with my external hard drive?
[05:10] <dragonunderling> read write
[05:10] <djyoung4> ok so i have a hp dv4 and when i push the volume up the notifier pops up and it says the volume is going up but the actual volume does not change

[05:11] <raj7710> :)
[05:11] <nation> get in line dj lol
[05:11] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: read only is the easiest...read-write has its issues

[05:11] <raj7710> I have ubuntu 9.04 installed and I need to connect my N73 to it .. Any chances?
[05:12] <Code_Bleu> dtragonunderling: are you in terminal only..or you have a gui right now?

[05:13] <nation> can someone please help me try to explain to me how to bridge my  wlan to etho
[05:13] <djyoung4> its not really a problem just an annoyance that the slider up above my keyboard to control the volume doesn't work but when i use it the notifier that my volume is going up or down pops up in the top right corner
[05:13] <it-linux> any one knows how to add scanner CanoScan Lide 100 in Jaunty?
[05:13] <devrmst> what up sambagirl

[05:13] <dragonunderling> http://paste.ubuntu.com/258427/
[05:13] <sambagirl> hi is anyone running openemm in ubuntu?
[05:13] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: run that and copy the output, launch browser and paste in to paste.ubuntu.com. once you submit, the url will change, copy that and paste in here
[05:13] <Code_Bleu> ok cool ;-)
[05:13] <dragonunderling> lol done
[05:14] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: this dual boot?
[05:14] <dragonunderling> yes vista and ubuntu
[05:14] <b3rz3rk3r> hey all, just edited my machines name in /etc/hostname and after to get sudo working again /etc/hosts. How do i get these changes to reflect in the "Network://" dialog?
[05:15] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: vista primary?
[05:15] <dragonunderling> hmm... yes
[05:15] <di||itante> dsn
[05:15] <dragonunderling> but boots to ubuntu by default
[05:15] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: in terminal type: sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /mnt/public
[05:16] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: you do have the /mnt/public dir created..right?
[05:16] <dragonunderling> yes
[05:16] <nation> someone was helping me to bridge network connetions but my connection dropped can you please explain to me again how to do this
[05:17] <sambagirl> hi is anyone running openemm in ubuntu?
[05:17] <leaf-sheep> nation: Type "leaf" and use TAB to autocomplete my nickname so I get highlighted messages.
[05:17] <leaf-sheep> !tab | nation
[05:17] <nation> leaf
[05:17] <leaf-sheep> nation: Did you set up a new connection? "Bridging" --> Shared to other computer under IPv4 setting?
[05:17] <nation> leaf-sheep:
[05:17] <leaf-sheep> nation: That's it. :3
[05:18] <dragonunderling> code_bleu: does it matter that there are 2 shares on the drive?
[05:18] <nation> not sure how to do that
[05:18] <sambagirl> is anyone familiar with MTA ?
[05:18] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: 2 shares, or partitions?
[05:18] <WeblionX> I wish Linux and Windows didn't act so pants-on-head retarded when you try to get them to work together.
[05:19] <dragonunderling> i think it said shares.. hold on whilst i check
[05:19] <nation> i set the etho0 to  be shared by other computers
[05:19] <nation> not sure how to setup a new connection or where abouts i go
[05:19] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: did that command work?
[05:20] <dragonunderling> didn't give me a response
[05:20] <dividebyzer0> is there a folder that I can put a file and access it through virtualbox? because it wont recognize my USB HDD
[05:20] <sambagirl> does seveas still work here?
[05:20] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: it prob worked then....cd /mnt/public and then do ls
[05:20] <dragonunderling> ok
[05:20] <b3rz3rk3r> dividebyzer0, yes, you just need to specify it in your config
[05:20] <b3rz3rk3r> dividebyzer0, for the virtualbox i mean
[05:21] <WeblionX> dividebyzer0: Add it via shared folders.  If you're using Windows7, you need to map the network drive manually.
[05:21] <dragonunderling> lists my machine
[05:21] <dividebyzer0> b3rz3rk3r: its running tinyxp
[05:21] <dragonunderling> and the drive lists them as shares
[05:21] <dividebyzer0> b3rz3rk3r: so I would need to shut the VB down first to change that configuration?
[05:21] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: copy output and paste to paste.ubuntu.com
[05:21] <dragonunderling> ok
[05:22] <nation> you still with me leaf-sheep
[05:22] <b3rz3rk3r> dividebyzer0, yes you do. then you can map it in the virtual machines networking options
[05:22] <dragonunderling> http://paste.ubuntu.com/258432/
[05:22] <b3rz3rk3r> dividebyzer0, easy ;)
[05:22] <dividebyzer0> b3rz3rk3r: k Ill give that a shot thanks, brb
[05:23] <b3rz3rk3r> hey all, just edited my machines name in /etc/hostname and after to get sudo working again /etc/hosts. How do i get these changes to reflect in the "Network://" gui?
[05:23] <rhlin_> can anyone tell me how to install ddclient?
[05:23] <leaf-sheep> nation: Hmm.
[05:23] <leaf-sheep> nation: Did you create a new connection?
[05:24] <neoandersen> how to make my webcam live stream in sites like ustream , justin.tv and blogtv?
[05:24] <leaf-sheep> nation: This all takes 5 minutes, really.  Make a new connection -- Name it "Bridging" --> Look in IPv4 setting.  Toggle on "Shared to other computer" and you're done.  Test the network.
[05:24] <jMyles_> noisserpxe, any progress?
[05:24] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: not sure what you are talking about shares...but it appears that it is listing all of your files and directories of youe "C" drive of your windows partition
[05:24] <dragonunderling> yes
[05:25] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: if you want to mess with read/write support...here is a good article https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G
[05:25] <dragonunderling> ok
[05:25] <majnoon> !ot|majnoon
[05:25] <kidblooper> <== clapping "bravo"
[05:25] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: Then did that answer your original ?
[05:26] <nation> ok leaf-sheep let me give it a try :)
[05:26] <dragonunderling> it might be a workaround for it
[05:26] <dragonunderling> the drive allows nfs cifs ntfs ftp
[05:27] <WeblionX> Where does Ubuntu store Samba settings configured via the GUI? (Right click on a folder -> Share)
[05:27] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: that sounds as if it is a NAS appliance
[05:27] <leaf-sheep> nation: You want a new setting connection in wired, not wireless.
[05:28] <dragonunderling> that sound familiar.. but im not sure
[05:28] <the-erm> I wish windows would allow you to mount an sftp connection as a local drive ... that would be useful.
[05:28] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: you are not going to have ftp, cifs, and nfs over usb.
[05:28] <dividebyzer0> b3rz3rk3r: you still in here?
[05:28] <the-erm> Freaking windows.
[05:28] <the-erm> Usually I just winscp.
[05:29] <b3rz3rk3r> dividebyzer0, yeah
[05:29] <aylusarn> WeblionX: probably in /etc/samba/smb.conf
[05:29] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: does it have a network card in it?
[05:29] <WeblionX> aylusarn: It's not there.
[05:29] <paissad-hp> hi everybody, i don't have the partimage in my repositories !
[05:29] <paissad-hp> paissad@paissad-hp:/work/PROJETS$ aptitude search partimage | pastebinit -
[05:29] <paissad-hp> http://pastebin.com/f619aa1b2
[05:29] <dragonunderling> its over the network through my router
[05:29] <b3rz3rk3r> dividebyzer0, did u win?
[05:29] <dragonunderling> yep
[05:29] <dividebyzer0> b3rz3rk3r: hey I cant find the shared folder though.. for some reason
[05:29] <paissad-hp> i just have the documentation
[05:29] <the-erm> WeblionX: is there a ~/.smb or ~/.samba folder?
[05:29] <paissad-hp> how can i obtain partimage
[05:29] <WeblionX> No.
[05:29] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: do you have it plugged up USB too?
[05:29] <dragonunderling> nope
[05:30] <b3rz3rk3r> dividebyzer0, did u navigate to your machine correctly? try IP if hostname isnt working
[05:30] <dragonunderling> the usb port on it is for flash drives and printers only...
[05:30] <WeblionX> I just freakin' love GUIs.  Never a sane configuration location.
[05:30] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: are you sure that is the correct data you are looking for? cause you said that you were dual booting...and right now you are accessing your vista drive on /mnt/public
[05:30] <dividebyzer0> b3rz3rk3r: one sec.. lemme shut down and verify the path
[05:30] <dragonunderling> yes.. its supposed to be on the network drive..
[05:31] <the-erm> WeblionX: ~/.config ?
[05:31] <dragonunderling> supposed to show the direcroies of video, music, and pictures
[05:31] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: you are not connecting over network right now...it wouldnt show up in your fdisk -l
[05:31] <WeblionX> I see nothing related to samba.
[05:31] <dividebyzer0> b3rz3rk3r: the path is /home/dividebyzer0/.VirtualBox/Machines/TinyXP
[05:31] <dragonunderling> ok
[05:31] <zaccour> where can i get the ubuntu flash drive image? not unr
[05:31] <dividebyzer0> so obviously if I were running tinyxp it wouldnt know where to find it
[05:32] <dragonunderling> hmm
[05:32] <arun_sukesan> I have a problem. I cant play wmv files in ubuntu. I have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras. I used vlc, mplayer, totem etc. when i use vlc i can hear the audio, but no video output. Can anyone help solving the problem
[05:32] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: you are looking at your VISTA hard drive on the machine you are on now
[05:32] <nation> leaf-sheep:  man tested it and the bridge works im using my laptop as a bridge for my x box cause im too poor to buy the wireless thingy haha it works but says its slow acting as a nat is there some firewall settings or ports i can open in ubuntu is there a firewall??
[05:32] <dragonunderling> yes.. i know that lol
[05:32] <WeblionX> arun_sukesan: The files might have DRM, which VLC can't play.  Does the video come out weird looking, or just not at all?
[05:32] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: im confused
[05:32] <dragonunderling> me too lol
[05:33] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: you are saying different things
[05:33] <dragonunderling> ok..
[05:33] <arun_sukesan> webliox: no video just the screensaver like item in the output
[05:33] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: what is your objective?
[05:33] <dragonunderling> shall we start at the beggining?
[05:33] <nation> i like this  almost gave up on linux distros but love this wow :P
[05:33] <the-erm> WeblionX: maybe there's something in gconf-editor gnome likes to put hotkeys in there.
[05:33] <WeblionX> arun_sukesan: Do you know if the file is good?
[05:33] <dragonunderling> my objective is to access information on a western digital network hard drive.
[05:33] <the-erm> Stupid design in my opinion.
[05:34] <dragonunderling> it is located on my personal network
[05:34] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: how did you setup these shares to begin with? did you go to a browser and put in the IP of your NAS and set it up?
[05:34] <arun_sukesan> weblionx: I can play it in windows, It was the CEH tutorial videos.
[05:34] <kidblooper> mine shows up in dolphin by default with no extra configuring
[05:34] <dragonunderling> yes i believe so
[05:34] <arun_sukesan> it plays clearly in XP
[05:34] <kidblooper> just a thought
[05:34] <kidblooper> arun. codec error
[05:34] <nation> leaf-sheep:  another thing how do i log in as root or whatever to get acess or permisions for files  if i  want to alter them ??
[05:34] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: you believe so...you dont know?  did you set it up?
[05:35] <zaccour> where can i get the ubuntu flash drive image? not unr
[05:35] <dragonunderling> i am checking to confirm right now
[05:35] <the-erm> you know there is a ~/.smb dir for me.
[05:35] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: you are checking with yourself to see if you set it up or not?
[05:35] <kidblooper> zaccour you can use a program called unetbootin along with the actual iso , then the usb flash drive will be bootable
[05:36] <dragonunderling> im looking on the web page for the drive
[05:36] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: what page?
[05:36] <arun_sukesan> when i play wmv files in totem with gstreamer. No video output only audio
[05:36] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: what is the make / model of this thing, so i can look up what you are talking about
[05:36] <dragonunderling> the admin page on the world book
[05:36] <Dayofswords> xkcd has a new comic that is great for tech support http://xkcd.com/627/
[05:36] <WeblionX> the-erm: Lucky you.
[05:37] <arun_sukesan> the codec version is wma version 8
[05:37] <dragonunderling> western digital world book. 1tb
[05:37] <dragonunderling> white light

[05:42] <z987k> bucky, this just started happening out of nowhere
[05:42] <lstarnes> nation: a firewall would probably be a good idea
[05:42] <dragonunderling> code_bleu: this is what the help page tells me : http://paste.ubuntu.com/258441/
[05:42] <lstarnes> nation: by default, ubuntu has iptables and ufw built in
[05:42] <nation> where do i acess that
[05:42] <the-erm> I believe all ports are closed unless opened :)
[05:42] <lstarnes> nation: in the terminal
[05:42] <bucky> z987k, i know.. it's frustratiing, i put another drive in and reinstalled with fake raid and haven't had any problems since
[05:42] <nation> what do i need to type
[05:43] <^c|0ud^> Can anyone help me with a pptpd issue?
[05:43] <lstarnes> nation: you could also use graphical tools such as firestarter or gufw
[05:43] <nation> is that in the download thingy lol
[05:43] <lstarnes> nation: it depends on what you want to do with iptables/ufw
[05:43] <lstarnes> nation: yes.
[05:43] <z987k> bucky, how can I tell which drive ata4 is?
[05:43] <nation> ok
[05:43] <kidblooper> my brain hurts
[05:43] <dragonunderling> mine too
[05:44] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: I think you have a lot to do on configuring that device first...then you can figure out how to connect to it.  I would suggest reading the manual....im sure they will show you how to set it up
[05:44] <bucky> z987k, mm... cat /etc/mtab ?
[05:44] <seven-up> you guys do have a brain?
[05:44] <dragonunderling> lol ok..
[05:44] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: it sounds like you dont even know what protocal you want to connect with  cifs, ftp, nfs????
[05:44] <dragonunderling> it says to use nfs for linux and unix
[05:44] <kidblooper> yep i have a brain.. and i feel like inserting a small piece of lead in it
[05:44] <nation>  one other small thing on my mind is my touch pad is now too sensitive when i am typingngs ? keeps  bumping my cursor off is there some where i can edit those setti
[05:44] <^c|0ud^> Can anyone help me with a pptpd issue?
[05:45] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: yes, but you can also connect to windows shares from linux
[05:45] <z987k> bucky, all my drives are sd* nothing is ata4
[05:45] <dragonunderling> ok.. thats how i access the vista partition right?
[05:45] <kidblooper> nation in system settings turn mouse acceleration off
[05:45] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: im not familiar with that product...but it might even have some configs on how to use the same shares for both windows and linux cifs and nfs permissions going to the same folders?
[05:46] <bucky> z987k, sudo fdisk -l maybe?
[05:46] <arun_sukesan> Is there any firewall for ubuntu?
[05:46] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: accessing your vista partition locally is different from accessing network protocaled storage
[05:46] <zmj|Centrikle> Hey, so I installed grnotify, and it's missing the python module GoogleReader
[05:46] <z987k> bucky, well I mean I have an sda4.....
[05:46] <br34l> arun_sukesan: firestarter for example
[05:46] <lstarnes> arun_sukesan: iptables and ufw are installed by default
[05:46] <dragonunderling> ok
[05:46] <firecrotch> arun_sukesan: yes, it is called ufw
[05:47] <nation> where is system settings only one i got is the kde one but nothing about mouse in there ?
[05:47] <lstarnes> arun_sukesan: firestarter and gufw are just two of several graohical tools for configuring the firewalls
[05:47] <z987k> bucky, but that's only a single partition on a drive... not the whole drive
[05:47] <dragonunderling> Ill do some more research on it.. maybe even call westen digital too.. ty
[05:47] <kidblooper> lmao
[05:47] <arun_sukesan> lstarnes:br34l:firecrotch: Thanks everyone
[05:47] <nation> i tell you one thing my laptop has never ran this cool ever
[05:47] <nation> lol
[05:48] <nation> this is like idle for it
[05:48] <dragonunderling> well ty for your help code_bleu.. I gots to go to bed
[05:48] <kidblooper> lucky for wd lol j/k
[05:48] <paissad-hp> i would like to compile partimage from the source, here is the error i got from the ./configure -->
[05:48] <paissad-hp> configure: error: *** pam library (libpam) not found
[05:49] <paissad-hp> paissad@paissad-hp:/tmp/partimage-0.6.7$ dpkg -l | grep -i libpam | pastebinit -
[05:49] <paissad-hp> http://pastebin.com/f7efe41f8
[05:49] <Code_Bleu> dragonunderling: np
[05:50] <lstarnes> paissad-hp: you need the appropriate -dev package for libpam
[05:50] <paissad-hp> does someone have an idea of how to solve the matter please ?
[05:50] <Nullslash_> jo
[05:50] <Nullslash_> ji
[05:50] <Nullslash> hi
[05:51] <lstarnes> paissad-hp: it might be libpam-dev or a package that provides it
[05:51] <paissad-hp> sudo aptitude install libpam0g-dev
[05:51] <paissad-hp> :)
[05:51] <nation> ok i think im done bothering you all tonight ty for the help looks like a good comunuty here good support  :P
[05:51] <Wicked> !ati
[05:52] <khafra> I've got all the repositories checked, but still can't get libavdevice-dev. What's wrong?
[05:52] <lstarnes> khafra: the package might have a different name
[05:53] <lstarnes> khafra: did you run sudo apt-get update?
[05:53] <khafra> Yup
[05:54] <bucky> paissad-hp, apt-get install libpam0g-dev so you have the include files to build something
[05:54] <khafra> Googling for libavdevice-dev doesn't reveal any obvious alternate names
[05:54] <lstarnes> khafra: which version of ubuntu is it?
[05:55] <khafra> lstarnes: 8.04
[05:55] <bucky> khafra, apt-cache search libavdevice-dev
[05:55] <lstarnes> khafra: that package does not appear to be available in 8.04
[05:57] <khafra> lstarnes: Well, crap.  Should I upgrade, then, or downgrade?  I coudln't find any references to ubuntu versions that support it anywhere
[05:57] <lstarnes> khafra: 9.04 defintiely has packages for it.  8.10 might
[05:57] <lstarnes> khafra: otherwise, you could either look for a PPA for the packages for 8.04 or another source for packages, or you could compile the libraries from sourcer
[05:57] <lstarnes> *source
[05:59] <khafra> Blah. It was time to upgrade anyway; I just hope I don't forget that I really meant to script up an OCRopus project by the time I'm done
[05:59] <khafra> Thanks
[05:59] <lstarnes> khafra: if you're using ubuntu for something that requires stability and long-term support, you should probably stick with 8.04 until the next LTS release, which is tentatively 10.04
[06:00] <graft> hi, so scp still stalls when i try to copy something from one machine to another over my wireless network... what do i do?
[06:01] <^c|0ud^> seems with pptpd, when connecting to my vpn, I can ping my router but I cant connect to it
[06:01] <lstarnes> graft: is the remote machine running sshd?
[06:01] <^c|0ud^> seems with pptpd, when connecting to my vpn, I can ping my router but I cant connect to it. Is there a setting I overlooked?
[06:01] <graft> lstarnes: yep, both running ubuntu, i have appropriate ssh keys, etc. the transfer starts fine, but it stalls and sputters
[06:02] <lstarnes> graft: you might want to try using the -v switch with scp
[06:02] <lstarnes> graft: e.g. scp -v source target
[06:03] <lstarnes> graft: that might help you diagnose the cause of the problem
[06:03] <graft> lstarnes: nah, -v is unrevealing... doesn't say anything as it stalls
[06:03] <space_cadet> graft, does -vv do anything special?
[06:04] <space_cadet> or -vvvvvvvvv
[06:04] <space_cadet> ?
[06:04] <lstarnes> space_cadet: it only goes to -vvv
[06:04] <space_cadet> moo
[06:05] <graft> hmm, yeah, now it says: debug2: channel 0: rcvd adjust 98338
[06:05] <MTecknology> Could somebody that's using a standard qwetry keyboard please list the output from xmodmap ?
[06:06] <Explodus_> When gdm starts I have a dead lock freeze...more info found http://paste.ubuntu.com/258451/ -- Let me know if any additional information is needed. Thanks for your time to look at my issue =)
[06:09] <bucky> Explodus_, sounds like a graphics problem what does tail /var/log/Xorg.0.log  say any hints
[06:10] <bucky> Explodus_, can you ctl+alt+F2  to another console and tail /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[06:10] <Explodus_> bucky, i can in recovery mode but not after normal boot
[06:10] <Explodus_> bucky, let me see if i can pull the log right quick
[06:11] <bucky> Explodus_, what kind of hardware is this ? a lappy?
[06:11] <MTecknology> bucky: you have a standard qwerty keyboard?
[06:11] <bucky> MTecknology, yes
[06:11] <MTecknology> bucky: 9.04?
[06:11] <bucky> MTecknology, nope just upgraded to karmic
[06:11] <Explodus_> bucky, older desktop amd xp 1800+ 1Gb ram ATI Radeon 9550
[06:11] <bucky> i'll post it if it helps
[06:11] <ethicx> hello everyone, anyone knows how I can disable my second monitor using aticonfig?
[06:12] <coz_> hey guys let me try again..  two systems  fresh installs of 9.04  including all updates  however one ...on scsi system..has kernel 2.6.28--generic and the other has  2.6.28-15-generic??  I already did   sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic   and  sudo update-grub   nothing worked
[06:12] <coz_> rather 2.6.28-13-generic
[06:12] <bucky> Explodus_, i'm pretty sure you're having a problem with that Radeon 9550 and getting the right driver... i'm clueless on ati
[06:13] <Explodus_> bucky, thanks - I'm going to need to reboot anyways - I have to use Ext2IFS from windows to pull the logs ... Thanks for the point in the right direction I'll see if that log can give a clue
[06:14] <bucky> MTecknology, http://paste.ubuntu.com/258457/
[06:14] <MTecknology> bucky: thanks
[06:14] <Explodus_> bucky, the drivers didn't install correctly for ext2IFS :( -- will report back
[06:14] <MTecknology> bucky: I'm trying to figured out why right alt doesn't work in karmic
[06:14] <bucky> Explodus_, google about your card and jaunty
[06:14] <MTecknology> bucky: working for you?
[06:14] <Explodus_> kk
[06:14] <TheFuzzball> Can someone open this link and tell me if the page loads please: http://thefuzzball.homelinux.org/
[06:15] <TheFuzzball> I'm testing my DynDns setup and it's the first time I've used it
[06:15] <bucky> MTecknology, does my keyboard work?
[06:15] <seven-up> This is a temporary virtual server to be used whilst Sherlock is being repaired
[06:15] <bucky> MTecknology, i'm sorry.. i missed your previous posts
[06:15] <TheFuzzball> seven-up: thanks, seems to be working :)
[06:15] <drone> could someone please give me a hand with some issues I'm having with updating my repo data?
[06:16] <drone> I keep getting badsig or bzip2 errors no matter what site I use
[06:16] <MTecknology> bucky: jsut the right alt
[06:16] <ricardo_>  irc.reload-paradise.net
[06:17] <dividebyzer0> how do i find out my IP address?
[06:18] <RacingRalph_> Ifconfig
[06:18] <wendaozhe> ifconfig
[06:18] <dividebyzer0> oops, thanks
[06:19] <dividebyzer0> another question, how do you enable USB on virtualbox? I cant seem to get it to work
[06:19] <bucky> MTecknology, this talks about it in Edgy https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/76901
[06:19] <lstarnes> dividebyzer0: you have to use the proprietary version of virtualbox from sun
[06:20] <bucky> MTecknology, you prolly need something in xorg.conf
[06:20] <MTecknology> bucky: oh - thanks
[06:20] <dividebyzer0> lstarnes: I am pretty sure I am?
[06:21] <lstarnes> dividebyzer0: do you use the virtualbox-ose package?
[06:21] <dividebyzer0> yes
[06:22]  * Exploded had her Ubuntu install go kaboom
[06:22] <lstarnes> dividebyzer0: that is not the version from sun.  That is the open-source edition, which notably lacks usb support and possibly some other features that could only be put in sun's proprietary version
[06:22] <wendaozhe> how do i match the domain name in iptables?
[06:22] <dividebyzer0> is their version free?
[06:22] <lstarnes> dividebyzer0: not as in freedom, but as in prive
[06:22] <lstarnes> *price
[06:23] <dividebyzer0> lstarnes: so if I already have xp installed on there, if I remove virtualbox and re-install the correct version will it still be there?
[06:23] <dividebyzer0> as long as I map it to the same folder
[06:23] <lstarnes> dividebyzer0: I think so. you may need to keep the -ose version while you install sun's version
[06:24]  * Needs_phoenix is new here and needs a bit of help to get around the work of a glitch that left her PC unbootable
[06:24] <dividebyzer0> I just install it from their site right?
[06:25] <lstarnes> dividebyzer0: yes
[06:25] <Needs_phoenix> Is anyone able to help me?
[06:25] <lstarnes> Needs_phoenix: could you please provide more details about your problem?
[06:25] <Needs_phoenix> well
[06:26] <Needs_phoenix> I was installing Ubuntu 9.04 to replace a Fedora 11 installation in my dual-boot config with Vista
[06:26] <Needs_phoenix> and it gave me an error as it was installing grub
[06:26] <aneeshbhadran> please help me to install zend server on linux
[06:26] <Needs_phoenix> and now whenever I boot up, I see a CLI for grub
[06:26] <dividebyzer0> lstarnes: it says Error: Conflicts with the installed package 'virtualbox-ose' so I assume I need to remove that one first
[06:26] <icarus-c> aneeshbhadran: google
[06:26] <lstarnes> dividebyzer0: then remove it
[06:26] <icarus-c> aneeshbhadran: man apt-get by the way
[06:26] <MTecknology> bucky: What command do I need to run to open keyboard preferences?
[06:27] <bucky> hmm..
[06:27] <aneeshbhadran> i am new in linux
[06:27] <dividebyzer0> i just hope I dont have this "dead spot" where it installed XP, and I cant get to it and have to re-install x
[06:27] <icarus-c> aneeshbhadran: that's why you should learn
[06:28] <icarus-c> Needs_phoenix: do you know about chrooting and grub-install ?
[06:28] <Needs_phoenix> not really
[06:28] <Needs_phoenix> a friend tried to walk me through grub install
[06:28] <Needs_phoenix> but she got lost during it
[06:28] <bucky> MTecknology, System->Preferences=>Keyboard ?
[06:29] <icarus-c> Needs_phoenix: between, have you run disk check before installing?
[06:29] <wendaozhe> how do i match the domain name in iptables?
[06:29] <Needs_phoenix> no
[06:29] <MTecknology> bucky: ya, what command does that run?
[06:29] <bucky> MTecknology, make sure you have the type you need like 104 key or 105 key
[06:29] <lstarnes> wendaozhe: source domain name, or target domain name?
[06:29] <solofight> omg omg help sos | i installed and was working on xubuntu untill yesterday was planning to install the windows 7 which i newly bought, i was having a seperate partion for windows which has 40 gb whereas rest of 160 gb for my xubuntu , i installed windows 7 completely and then when rebooted it didn ask me for boot choice , it straightaway booted into windows 7
[06:29] <solofight> :(
[06:30] <MTecknology> bucky: I don't use gnome, so when I'm told to do that, I  don't know what command to run
[06:30] <solofight> so i thaught the boot priority has been rest by windows 7 and removed the windows 7 from my hdd
[06:30] <wendaozhe> target domain name
[06:30] <icarus-c> solofight: chroot and grub-install using a live cd
[06:30] <lstarnes> solofight: it sounds like you need to reconfigure windows 7's bootloader or reinstall grub and set it to have an option for chainloading windows 7
[06:30] <icarus-c> reconfiguring NTLDR  is crazy
[06:30] <space_cadet> simple solofight insert your xubuntu disk, and follow this... http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-restore-grub-in-ubuntu/2008/04/11
[06:31] <solofight> now when i reboot it searches for os overwork the net
[06:31]  * icarus-c directs Needs_phoenix to http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-restore-grub-in-ubuntu/2008/04/11   
[06:31] <solofight> now when i reboot it searches for os over the network
[06:31] <lstarnes> wendaozhe: you could probably specify it the same way that you specify an IP
[06:31] <icarus-c> solofight: did you hack in BIOS settings?
[06:31] <solofight> no no
[06:31] <solofight> nothing
[06:31] <space_cadet> simple solofight insert your xubuntu disk, and follow this... http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-restore-grub-in-ubuntu/2008/04/11
[06:31] <solofight> space_cadet, thank you
[06:32] <solofight> icarus-c, thank you will follow and reply here
[06:32] <bucky> MTecknology, you prolly need gkbd-capplet which i dont have installed.. let me update apt-file
[06:32] <solofight> but why is this happening ?
[06:32] <space_cadet> also...   solofight windows blows out the MBR
[06:32] <Needs_phoenix> icarus-c: I got an error
[06:32] <solofight> shouldn it suppose to show me the boot options ?
[06:32] <Needs_phoenix> File not found
[06:32] <space_cadet> solofight, no...  windows likes being the owner of the pc
[06:32] <solofight> lstarnes, how can i do that ?
[06:32] <space_cadet> doesn't like any other os
[06:32] <icarus-c> solofight: easy, Windows don't give a s*t and wipe out MBR with their own boot loader
[06:32] <space_cadet> if you were to have installed xubuntu second, it would have worked
[06:32] <lstarnes> solofight: I'm not sure exactly how to do it.  I haven't worked with windows 7's bootloader
[06:33] <space_cadet> however... you can reinstall windows, then run that link i gave you and have both...
[06:33] <Needs_phoenix> icarus-c: PM?
[06:33] <icarus-c> solofight: just reinstall grub to MBR will work again
[06:33] <bucky> MTecknology, gnome-keyboard-properties  will run the basic program
[06:33] <MTecknology> bucky: thanks
[06:33] <icarus-c> wait a minute, that http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-restore-grub-in-ubuntu/2008/04/11 looks gay
[06:34] <icarus-c> shouldn't we  chroot to the installed system and run grub-install there?
[06:34] <space_cadet> icarus-c, huh?
[06:34] <MTecknology> bucky: wow - it's only 195MB to install that (with dependencies)
[06:34] <MTecknology> bucky: :P
[06:34] <solofight> space_cadet, when i do a find /boot/grub/stage1 it says root(hd0,0) which is where i have my os
[06:34] <space_cadet> icarus-c, everytime windows has blown my MBR   that has worked (the link i provided)
[06:34] <solofight> so no need to change
[06:34] <icarus-c> i'm afraid http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-restore-grub-in-ubuntu/2008/04/11 would just install grub "to boot the livecd"
[06:35] <solofight> fucking windows
[06:35] <bucky> MTecknology, didn't you install gnome?
[06:35] <icarus-c> space_cadet: ok. but i used to chroot and grub-install
[06:35] <space_cadet> solofight, but you have to root (hd0,0) then setup hd(0)
[06:35] <space_cadet> er   setup (hd0)
[06:35] <MTecknology> bucky: no
[06:35] <solofight> bastards how dare they take ownership of my xubuntu without asking me
[06:35] <error404notfound> The title text on titlebar of application is very clode to there left edge, so much that the first letter is kindda cut off. Any way to fix it?
[06:35] <MTecknology> bucky: just openbox on here
[06:35] <solofight> i had so many project s in it :(
[06:35] <space_cadet> setup (hd0) will write the MBR
[06:35] <icarus-c> solofight: that is Microsoft  remember that
[06:35] <solofight> icarus-c, how to ?
[06:36] <icarus-c> space_cadet: is that assuming /boot on /dev/sda1 ?
[06:36] <space_cadet> alternatively you can play with windows' bootloader...
[06:36] <space_cadet> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=991987
[06:36] <bucky> MTecknology, depending on how you configured your video card.. dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will let you add alt:win  meta:win and that usually fixes all that
[06:36] <solofight> I dont give a shit about who it is , how dare they delete data in my pc , and freaked me out
[06:36] <solofight> am gona file a law suit on them
[06:36] <bucky> MTecknology, if you chose the right keyboard type
[06:37] <solofight> if i dont get my data back they are sued
[06:37] <MTecknology> bucky: no questions are asked for that
[06:37] <space_cadet> icarus-c, well when you enter grub, then search for stage1  it will tell you which drive/partition it is located on
[06:37] <ejv> I install win7 too and it also wiped out Ubunu 9.04 bootloader
[06:37] <icarus-c> solofight: lol
[06:37] <space_cadet> then you just tell it where you want the boot code
[06:37] <ejv> should I read that link?
[06:37] <icarus-c> ejv: yes sir
[06:37] <MTecknology> bucky: got it - -a
[06:37] <ejv> icarus-c: so I need to use a livecd
[06:38] <icarus-c> yes
[06:38] <icarus-c> whatever livecd
[06:38] <ejv> interesting
[06:38] <SealedWithAKiss> I currently have Intel(R) G33/G31 Express Chipset integrated graphics card, I'm looking to upgrade to something better within my budget. I have around £40 to spend, or $60 dollars for you Americans. Does anybody have a PCI graphics card in mind that would run games well?
[06:38]  * space_cadet thinks windows should be more accomodating for other operating systems
[06:39] <MTecknology> bucky: Generic 105-key (Intl) PC
[06:39] <bucky> MTecknology, you might have missed it... do you have something like this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/258469/
[06:39] <space_cadet> SealedWithAKiss, pci or pci E
[06:40] <ejv> space_cadet: i agree, i installed win 7 over the weekend, and it completely hosed my bootloader :(
[06:40] <SealedWithAKiss> space_cadet, I don't know the difference. I haven't got a clue when it comes to hardware. How would I find out?
[06:40] <MTecknology> bucky: since jaunty new installs don't have xorg.conf
[06:40] <error404notfound> any way to fix the position of my title bar text? it way too left..
[06:40] <space_cadet> SealedWithAKiss  what's your computer make/model
[06:40] <icarus-c> space_cadet: microsoft never give a sh*t for that sort of thing
[06:40] <solofight> icarus-c, when i type chroot in my console, it says missing operand
[06:40] <space_cadet> i kno
[06:40] <bucky> MTecknology, not by default
[06:40] <SealedWithAKiss> space_cadet, Dell Inspiron 530.
[06:40] <icarus-c> solofight: mount your installation first
[06:40] <crdlb> error404notfound: change your window border theme?
[06:40] <MTecknology> bucky: I think this looks like it might be working
[06:41] <solofight> space_cadet, i have to root ? you mena i need to be having root privilages ?
[06:41] <error404notfound> crdlb, tried...
[06:41] <icarus-c> solofight: then chroot <path/to/where/you/mount>
[06:41] <bucky> MTecknology, you have to restart X sometimes to get changes to work
[06:41] <icarus-c> solofight: dude you should follow only 1 person guide at a time
[06:41] <space_cadet> solofight, sudo su
[06:41] <icarus-c> sudo su -
[06:41] <solofight> icarus-c, ok i follow you
[06:41] <icarus-c> meh
[06:41] <SealedWithAKiss> space_cadet, the current integrated card is pants! I don't understand hardware though, so can't think of an upgrade that's going to make the most of my money.
[06:42] <MTecknology> bucky: ya - I'm getting asked a whole butt load of questions :P
[06:42] <crdlb> error404notfound: can you put a screenshot on http://picpaste.com?
[06:42] <solofight> icarus-c, how to find and mount my installation ?
[06:42] <WeblionX> Has anyone gotten Windows 7 to have R/W access to a Samba share?
[06:42] <ejv> SealedWithAKiss: whats the purpose of the machine, you want to game with it?
[06:42] <MTecknology> bucky: it's even downloading a flash update....
[06:42] <icarus-c> solofight: do you know about your partitioning scheme?
[06:42] <MTecknology> just from dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -a
[06:43]  * MTecknology hopes things aren't breaking
[06:43] <bucky> MTecknology, you must have automatic upgrades enabled
[06:43] <space_cadet> SealedWithAKiss, looks like you can go high end
[06:43] <SealedWithAKiss> ejv, yeah that's the idea.
[06:43] <SealedWithAKiss> space_cadet, what do you mean I can go high end? I don't have too much money.
[06:43] <ejv> i recommend an nvidia gtx 9800
[06:43] <ejv> good price range
[06:43] <space_cadet> SealedWithAKiss, well it looks like you have PCI E which means you have a larger selection

[06:48] <SealedWithAKiss> space_cadet, the shop I am going to buy from sells that card for £25 which is £15 less than I can spend: http://www.cex.co.uk/search/index.php?stext=GeForce+8400&ispostback=1&mode=buy
[06:48] <terminaldummy> what is the cheapest computer you can put ubuntu on ?
[06:48] <bucky> ejv, but grub2 doesnt like ext4 i hear so buyer beware

[06:48] <iceroot> terminaldummy: eeepc 701 4G
[06:48] <asdfunknown> I have 2 HDD, master is smaller so I installed an ubuntu-type onto the second, larger HDD. My master had a bunch of old partitions I no longer needed, but when in GParted I accidently cleared the whole drive. So the question is: Was the bootloader on the master (but otherwise unused) drive? and if so, how do I reinstall it?
[06:49] <SealedWithAKiss> space_cadet, I want to spend more while I have the money. Could you pick a card out from that website for £40?
[06:49] <Needs_phoenix> I once ran Ubuntu 5.10 on a system with a 233Mhz Cyrix M2-333 CPU
[06:49] <ejv> I never, ever use anything but ext2 for /boot
[06:49] <ejv> you're silly if you do.

[06:50] <dividebyzer0> How do you enable USB in virtualbox?

[06:50] <godfreym> rpm installer related problem
[06:50] <MTecknology> !u | space_cadet
[06:51] <SealedWithAKiss> space_cadet, what's that card going to be like?
[06:51] <dividebyzer0> iceroot: not sure I did it right though.. it installed with the packet manager.. and now I cant find where it is
[06:51] <iceroot> dividebyzer0: ok, then you can activate usb-devices by clicking the symbol and the right-bottom-corner
[06:51] <godfreym> I had installed WebSphere MQ related RPM packages and then had them removed but when I tried installing it says that some files are conflicting
[06:51] <ejv> seriously, just eat raman noodles for a few days, you'll have the extra money you need, for a better card, you'll be happy you did
[06:51] <ejv> trust me
[06:51] <godfreym> so I had them manually removed
[06:52] <iceroot> godfreym: rpm?
[06:52] <space_cadet> SealedWithAKiss, gives me a 4.9 Windows Experience Index  (mine is the 9600 GSM though with 1700MB ram
[06:52] <godfreym> but later when I try to install the package is already there
[06:52] <godfreym> and also that the packages cant be removed because the files are removed now
[06:52] <dividebyzer0> iceroot: do I still need to go to add/remove applications and find VB and install it?
[06:52] <godfreym> can someone be of help
[06:52] <dividebyzer0> even after I dl'ed it from the site?
[06:52] <iceroot> dividebyzer0: no
[06:52] <rachit> ny one plz help me..i need a pdf software using which i can underline/highlight text
[06:52] <space_cadet> SealedWithAKiss, and to put it into perspective, I can run SecondLife in Ultra with No clipping
[06:52] <iceroot> dividebyzer0: the one from the repos is the free version with no usb support
[06:53] <ejv> ubuntu doesn't use rpm, so... why are you using rpm godfreym
[06:53] <lstarnes> rachit: I think evince can do that
[06:53] <space_cadet> SealedWithAKiss, and I haven't tried crisis yet
[06:53] <asdfunknown> does ubuntu instal the bootloader onto the master HDD even if you install the OS onto a secondary drive?
[06:53] <godfreym> but the packages come with RPM
[06:53] <godfreym> there is no other way round that
[06:53] <godfreym> :-(
[06:53] <dividebyzer0> there you are lstarnes
[06:53] <Blazing> get the tarball
[06:53] <SealedWithAKiss> space_cadet, my integrated one gives something like a 3.6 base score. Is yours better or worse than the one you suggested? I have 4GB RAM too. Would that be fine for gaming? Duo Core @ 2.6 GHz?
[06:53] <rachit> lstranes:did you tried it
[06:53] <lstarnes> rachit: I use it for reading almost all pdfs
[06:54] <space_cadet> SealedWithAKiss, but anything that you get in terms of add on video cards is going to be better than onboard.   Because of the fact that the GPU on the card is going to take over rather than running it through the processor, with the onboard.
[06:54] <asdfunknown> If so, and I'm thinking it is, anyone know a guide to reinstalling the bootloader?
[06:54] <rachit> ltranes:ok thanks i'll try it..
[06:54] <bucky> rachit, adobe-flashplugin or acroread will let you highlight copy and paste
[06:54] <lstarnes> rachit: openoffice and some other office programs might support PDF writing
[06:54] <inktri> using command line, how can i prepend all strings "abc" with "dog" in a given text file? (ie. given a text file, how can i make all strings "abc" turn into "dogabc" with command line)?
[06:55] <MTecknology> bucky: what was that config you gave me?
[06:55] <dividebyzer0> iceroot: I downloaded it and it opened with GDebi Package Installer
[06:55] <iceroot> dividebyzer0: yes, that is the right way
[06:55] <bucky> MTecknology, http://paste.ubuntu.com/258469/
[06:55] <MTecknology> thanks
[06:55] <space_cadet> SealedWithAKiss, Well mine is integrated, but it's on a laptop..   and the fact that  the one I sent u a link to has less than half the memory mine does, but considering you have 4 gigs anyway, you are still better off with that than the card u currently have.
[06:55] <lstarnes> inktri: sed -i 's/abc/dogabc/g' file.txt
[06:55] <dividebyzer0> iceroot: k I already have that installed but where is it?
[06:55] <MTecknology> bucky: is that you're entire config?
[06:55] <dividebyzer0> should I try running a command in the terminal?
[06:55] <lstarnes> \
[06:55] <lstarnes> oops
[06:56] <iceroot> dividebyzer0: somewhere in the applications-menu
[06:56] <SealedWithAKiss> space_cadet, would you be able to suggest one final card in case the store doesn't have the first card in stock?
[06:56] <bucky> MTecknology, i didn't have to use that to make my 104 key keyboard work ok
[06:56] <inktri> Istarnes: \?
[06:56] <lstarnes> inktri: it was an accidental post
[06:56] <dividebyzer0> iceroot: nothing new listed in the apps menu
[06:56] <MTecknology> bucky: oh

[07:01] <space_cadet> someone should do a simple to follow, legit writeup for topic on restoring the grub
[07:01] <SealedWithAKiss> space_cadet, what do you think? An extra £5 on top of my original budget? It's 1GB.
[07:01] <space_cadet> SealedWithAKiss, that's a nice one
[07:02] <SealedWithAKiss> space_cadet, worth the extra £5?
[07:02] <MTeck> bucky: still not working :(
[07:02] <solofight> icarus-c, ok i did chroot /mnt/ubuntu
[07:02] <solofight> now what to do ?
[07:02] <space_cadet> SealedWithAKiss, i would say
[07:03] <space_cadet> gee   that's like what 60-70$ us?
[07:03] <monteith> asdfunknown:  your bootloader is most likely on your second drive (the one you installed ubuntu onto)
[07:03] <solofight> sorry for making you type it again , i know you already said that to me, but when i scroll up the messages are not there,
[07:03] <MTeck> bucky: I think I'll wait for more work to be done on it... still alpha, right?
[07:03] <SealedWithAKiss> space_cadet, there are two for £45. One is 9400 and one 9500, they're the same price. I'm assuming the 9500 is the more recent and perhaps better card?
[07:03] <solofight> xchat sucks
[07:04] <solofight> it logs only limited number of lines
[07:04] <monteith> asdfunknown:  you can use Super Grub Disk (http://freshmeat.net/projects/supergrub/) to get into the grub cli
[07:04] <solofight> :(
[07:04] <atrash> hi
[07:04] <solofight> icarus-c, please tell me what to do next
thank you!
[07:04] <icarus-c> solofight: have you chroot?
[07:04] <bucky> MTeck, you can bind keyboard keystrokes with xkeycaps
[07:04] <icarus-c> solofight: you can set how many lines should xchat keep
[07:04] <space_cadet> 9500 offers double the amount of Stream Processors.   SealedWithAKiss
[07:04] <monteith> asdfunknown:  in the cli, use geometry (hd <tab> and find (hd1,0)/boot to locate grub
[07:05] <icarus-c> solofight: mkdir /mnt/ubuntu && mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ubuntu   && chroot /mnt/ubuntu   as root
[07:05] <lstarnes> wendaozhe: just remember that using domain names requires resolving those domain names
[07:05] <lstarnes> wendaozhe: it is much more efficient to use IPs instead of domain names
[07:05] <bucky> MTeck, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=715983
[07:05] <icarus-c> solofight: after chroot, do a "grub-install  /dev/sda"
[07:05] <asdfunknown> monteith: ok. that will detect the grub, if it exists then
[07:05] <SealedWithAKiss> space_cadet, I think that the 9500 is the card for me then! Thank you so much for helping me out!
[07:06] <wendaozhe> lstarnes:thank you!
[07:06] <space_cadet> solofight, i still think you should have just booted to live cd, then opened terminal, then sudo su, then grub, then find /boot/grub/stage1 then root (hd0,0) then setup (hd0)   then    exit  then   restart -r now
[07:07] <space_cadet> SealedWithAKiss, anytime
[07:08] <solofight> icarus-c, how can i set that how many lines shoudl xchat keep ?
[07:08] <icarus-c> solofight: explore in Settings

[07:10] <solofight> icarus-c, when i do a grub-install /dev/sda it says /dev/sda: Not found or not a block device.
[07:11] <space_cadet> solofight, here's another post of the easy way and the hard way... maybe a little different than what icarus-c is showing you... but same concept on the hard way
[07:11] <space_cadet> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1308395&postcount=1
[07:12] <space_cadet> and the easy way is REALLY easy
[07:12] <dividebyzer0> this is driving me nuts.. okay I rebooted, and I am running the VirtualBox.. It still wont recognize my USB external HDD
[07:12] <solofight> space_cadet, whats the easy way ? is that what icarus-c  is showing
[07:13] <space_cadet> solofight  the easy way is to boot from live cd, then enter grub then find, root, setup reboot
[07:13] <space_cadet> the hard way is chrooting in

[07:41] <ActionParsnip> chronique: best is an opinion, so is not concrete. There is no best anything. Best is a comparison of something to your own needs. Why not just try a few, see which you think is the best
[07:41] <phishie> i say transmission is good enough
[07:42] <Pitel> How can I force dpkg to remove some package? I've a problem with removing mysql http://pastebin.com/m45647663

[07:42] <ActionParsnip> MTeck: gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf

[07:44] <ActionParsnip> MTeck: then the file won't get changed
[07:44] <MTeck> ActionParsnip: yes it does

[07:51] <legend2440> icarus-c: strongsoul  was asking who was helping him when his nic   was   solofight
[07:51] <dora> ActionParsnip: actually, this is not installed at all. i'm installing it
[07:51] <kurtosis> lion: try sudo rmmod pcspkr before shutting down
[07:51] <ActionParsnip> dora: that'll fix it then ;)
[07:51] <strongsoul> legend2440, yeah
[07:52] <strongsoul> icarus-c, and whom else ?
[07:52] <lion> every time?
[07:52] <strongsoul> icarus-c, gave me the chroot method
[07:52] <icarus-c> strongsoul:  space_cadet
[07:52] <strongsoul> icarus-c, thank youy
[07:52] <dyek2> Hi! What is the admin command to use to enable or disable init services for runlevels?
[07:52] <kurtosis> lion: you can also add 'blacklist pcspkr' to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[07:52] <icarus-c> strongsoul: mkdir /mnt/ubuntu && mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ubuntu && chroot /mnt/ubuntu && grub-install /dev/sda
[07:53] <ActionParsnip> !bum | dyek2
[07:53] <kurtosis> lion: and that should cover you for life
[07:53] <icarus-c> strongsoul: mkdir /mnt/ubuntu && mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ubuntu && chroot /mnt/ubuntu && grub-install /dev/sda ----recheck
[07:53] <ActionParsnip> icarus-c: that will all need sudo
[07:53] <icarus-c> yes
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> icarus-c: or sudo -i
, afaik this action will remove spkr forever, but i want to disable it only for this event
[07:54] <icarus-c> sudo " "

[07:57] <bernardlychan> k.
 so, it seems that beeeep action is hardcoded in gnome
[07:57] <nation> i just thought the effects looked sweet
[07:57] <space_cadet> icarus-c, i just thought it funny...
[07:57] <icarus-c> bernardlychan: maybe that is about file permission?
[07:57] <bernardlychan> do u want the output in a pm actionParsnip?
[07:57] <space_cadet> nation, you want compiz
[07:57] <space_cadet> nation, beryl is old

[07:57] <ActionParsnip> bernardlychan: i'll make it easy for you
[07:58] <dyek2> ActionParsnip: Thanks! update-rc.d is what I was looking for.
[07:58] <space_cadet> nation    and you gotta watch your language, some people believe minors frequent this channel
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> bernardlychan: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; mount > ~/temp.gfgf; sudo fdisk -l >> ~/temp.gfgf; pastebinit ~/temp.gfgf; rm ~/temp.gfgf

[08:00] <ActionParsnip> nation: you must have video card drivers installed and configured or it won't run
[08:00] <legend2440> ActionParsnip: easier way is   mount | pastebinit  and   sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> legend2440: that will make 2 seperate pastebins, my way only makes one ;)
[08:01] <legend2440> ActionParsnip: oh ok

[08:04] <morphias> dividebyzer0, but it don't work until you install the guest tools ( Devices -> Install Guest Additions )
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> dividebyzer0: you change your resoltion to something larger
[08:04] <nation> also i  setup a network bridge but the firestarter firewall wont work when the one side of the bridge isnt up
[08:04] <morphias> dividebyzer0, which guest you using?
[08:04] <nation> what is another good firewall
[08:05] <space_cadet> randal, opens up terminal with root privs with the correct profile for graphic apps
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> !firewall | nation
[08:05] <space_cadet> "the better way to sudo"
[08:05] <kurtosis> randal: actually forget that. use sudo bash to start a shell as root
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> randal: or if you have a terminal open you can run: sudo -i
[08:05] <lion> hey folks, does anybody know how to disable sounds when login page?

[08:20] <candelaresi> or something like

[08:24] <bernardlychan> it says i don't have permissions
[08:24] <Myrtti> !latest | qc
[08:24] <theatro> bernardlychan, sudo cp
[08:25] <bernardlychan> so the exact command would be...
[08:25] <bernardlychan> sorry, i'm a n00b
[08:25] <kurtosis> bernardlychan: what command were you trying before?
[08:25] <theatro> you need to learn the basics my friend
[08:25] <qc> ok thx
[08:25] <noclue> indeed.
[08:26] <bernardlychan> i wasn't kutosis
[08:26] <bernardlychan> kurtosis*
[08:27] <kurtosis> bernardlychan: sudo cp -R /var/log/ pathtoyourusb
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> theatro: we tried: sudo cp -R /var/log /media/<mountpoint>
[08:27] <theatro> bernardlychan, do you know what is the mount point of your usb disk? /media/disk  ?
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> theatro: no dice apparently, i'm not sure if the logs can be copied and are in fact locked
[08:27] <gst> any idea, wat all can be the reasons for mic not to work?
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> bernardlychan: whats the last line in the lount command say?
[08:27] <linuxson25> Hi everyone. Trying to set up CUPS so I can print from a networked printer. There any online sources that are good?
[08:27] <kurtosis> bernardlychan: putting sudo in front, in this case, runs your command as root. the -R flag to cp is 'recursive', basically tells it to copy all the files. /var/log is the source and whatever you put after is the destination
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> gst: is it muted?
[08:28] <ActionParsnip> !cups
[08:28] <gst> it's not muted
[08:28] <nmvictor> anyone help me sort some files, i have like 100 mp3 in two locations, i just want to similar files existing in both locations
[08:28] <linuxson25> ActionParsnip: Thanx
[08:28] <gst> when i record for test, i get disturbance noise when i listen back
[08:28] <bernardlychan> hmm... no luck
[08:29] <gst> but not the actual recorded audio
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> bernardlychan: that will fail as its the wrong mount point, your usb partition isnt mount to /media/disk
[08:29] <bernardlychan> ahh ic
[08:29] <bernardlychan> where is it mounted?
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> bernardlychan: mount    will tell you
[08:30] <kurtosis> nmvictor: try to change to the directory above the one containing all the files, and try   ls -R thefolder | uniq -d
[08:30] <bernardlychan> all this stuff comes up...
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> bernardlychan: its something like /media/BCHAN  or something
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> bernardlychan: last line
[08:31] <bernardlychan> ahh... there's a space in my usb name
[08:31] <nmvictor> kurtosis: thanks let me try that

[08:35] <tim__b> @groza
[08:35] <groza> ok
[08:35] <groza> thnx
[08:35] <tim__b> you're welcome
[08:36] <tim__b> If you want to mount it, just google for "mount iso linux", groza.

[08:38] <Myrtti> !iso | groza
[08:38] <parkadodge> i need lots of help learning irc and trouble having trouble with evolution
[08:38] <tim__b> gnomenklayture, have a look here: http://ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/04/get-your-fingerprint-reader-to-work-in-ubuntu.html . Havent tried to get mine working since edgy, as i'm wouldnt use mine at all.
[08:38] <groza> i want an app
[08:38] <groza> not a command
[08:38] <walmis> arooni: what happens if you launch blueman-applet in terminal?
[08:39] <gnomenklayture> tim__b, cool thanks
[08:39] <arooni> walmis, Traceback (most recent call last):  File "/usr/bin/blueman-applet", line 37, in <module>  from blueman.Constants import *ImportError: No module named blueman.Constants
[08:40] <groza> i found
[08:40] <groza> gmount-iso
[08:40] <gnomenklayture> /whois $me
[08:40] <tim__b> groza, file-roller is able to give you a nautilus like iso file browser. There's also as gmount-iso a graphical frontend to the mount command.
[08:40] <gnomenklayture> weird
[08:40] <gnomenklayture> well anywho thanks guys, l8r :)
[08:40] <hacker_kid> is there any package that could run a web based remote desktop server? i need to do some work from my office but all i can do is browse the web
[08:41] <noclue> anyone know where the gnome session file is stored in jaunty?
[08:41] <iceroot> hacker_kid: vnc supports a java-web-browser-client (on windows)
[08:41] <walmis> arooni: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/blueman/+bug/338181
[08:41] <iceroot> hacker_kid: dont know if the linux-vnc also support java
[08:41] <noclue> it's not .gnome2/Session, I already checked. ;)
[08:41] <backslash7> Where does Ubuntu mount graphically connected (places->connect) samba shares?
[08:41] <hacker_kid> iceroot, i will check but i dont see anything like that
[08:42] <gartral> any decent program/suite for remote-administration for servers?
[08:42] <iceroot> hacker_kid: just use the webbrowser   ip:5900
[08:42] <hacker_kid> iceroot, firewall, only 80
[08:42] <iceroot> hacker_kid: that is bad
[08:42] <iceroot> hacker_kid: vnc and other viewers are using 5900 by default
[08:42] <arooni> walmis, i'm reading that but not quite sure what i need to do to fix
[08:43] <hacker_kid> iceroot, as i said only web, i need something web based
[08:43] <adalal> Heya guys, need a lil help with sip communicator
[08:43] <backslash7> Anyone?
[08:43] <iceroot> hacker_kid: java is webbased
[08:43] <parkadodge> can someone tell me what mail servers are supported by evolution i know yahoo wont work so i need a new account
[08:43] <walmis> arooni: maybe you accidentally added intrepid sources to jaunty?
[08:43] <iceroot> parkadodge: why should yahoo not be supported?
[08:43] <iceroot> parkadodge: just pop3, smtp and imap
[08:44] <parkadodge> no idea just wont pull it
[08:45] <adalal> backslash7: should be under windows share in network
[08:45] <iceroot> parkadodge: Was your Yahoo account registered in the states or in another country? Yahoo in different countries requires a monthly fee for POP access, and when POP access is refused (for not paying money) you'll be notified that your password is "incorrect".
[08:45] <Jimmio> parkadodge: Maybe enable your account as being pop3? That's what you have to do for gmail for security purposes..
[08:45] <adalal> backslash7: altho i find it can b a bit terpremental
[08:45] <iceroot> parkadodge: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=662808
[08:46] <backslash7> adalal: I was asking for the exact location in the filesystem.
[08:46] <backslash7> Not some click-place unaccessible from console.
[08:48] <adalal> backslash7: don't think it mounts in such a way for some reason...
[08:48] <backslash7> :O
[08:48] <iceroot> backslash7: shouldnt df -h show the drives/mounts?
[08:48] <backslash7> iceroot: It does but not the samba shares
[08:48] <backslash7> Just external and manually mounted stuff
[08:48] <iceroot> backslash7: ah ok
[08:49] <backslash7> For some reason, I haven't really used that ubuntu "places -> connect to" menu thing
[08:49] <backslash7> I can use nautilus to browse it but not any console tool which really sucks
[08:49] <adalal> backslash7: look up 'mount'
[08:49] <randal> hi i download a theme for ubuntu and the instruction tell me to move it to /usr/share/themes i did that but i still dont have the theme can anyone help me plz
[08:50] <backslash7> adalal: ?
[08:50] <adalal> backslash7: apparently it jus doesn't show up... http://tldp.org/HOWTO/SMB-HOWTO-8.html
[08:50] <iceroot> backslash7: try rightclick on the samba-share-properties and see the location/mount on your client? i am not using samba-shares to i dont know where they are but maybe this is a way to fiund out
[08:50] <adalal> backslash7: run mount on the terminal screen.. show's all mounts
[08:51] <adalal> backslash7: would jus show up with //server/folder
[08:51] <backslash7> adalal: As I said, NOT THE SAMBA MOUNTS
[08:51] <backslash7> It's nothing there, really
[08:51] <gartral> any decent program/suite for remote-administration for servers?
[08:51] <GPL> What shud i do, to open the URL/Links in a web browser, rather than Bluefish Editor, which i had recently installed, now the work-around [ to Uninstall BlueFish ] wont work, i really like Bluefish! what shud i do ?

[08:51] <iceroot> !webmin | gartral
[08:51] <gartral> !ebox
[08:52] <iceroot> gartral: but ssh is the best way
[08:52] <parkadodge> it has to be he plus version of yahoo or in other words the one id have to pay for so im looking for a free substitute
[08:52] <iceroot> parkadodge: why not using thunderbird? or a good mail-provider with imap?
[08:52] <adalal> gartral: nothing would beat the usability of ssh... that's the best thing to use anywhere
[08:52] <gartral> iceroot: i have SSH set up, but i dont always have my keydrive with me
[08:53] <adalal> gartral: u dont need to, u can just have a password login...
[08:53] <nmvictor> kurtosis: didnt work

[09:00] <kdub> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts
[09:00] <Pythack> randal > You want a font for your user or all the system?
[09:01] <falco_> hey guys
[09:01] <Pythack> Hi falco_.
[09:02] <nmvictor> snappy: ok, i have mp3 files in /media/cdrom and some in ~/Desktop/rnb. i want to know if their is a possibility of uniq files in both locations
[09:02] <falco_> There was an update for GRUB and I updated it, now my windows isn't in the list anymore
[09:02] <nmvictor> ok, i have mp3 files in /media/cdrom and some in ~/Desktop/rnb. i want to know if their is a possibility of uniq files in both locations
[09:02] <Pythack> falco_ > You have to edit your menu.lst.
[09:02] <kdub> of course there is a possibily of unique files in two different locations
[09:03] <WilliamC2> I have a hardware problem, and it's on my linux box
[09:03] <OutOfReach>  /quit
[09:03] <falco_> pythack I know but I don't know what my windows settings were
[09:03] <nibbler> nmvictor: you can mount -obind one folder to a subfolder of the other, you can make hard- or softlinks the files to the other folder
[09:03] <nmvictor> kdub: so whats the command to show them?
[09:03] <falco_> is there any way I can make it auto find the windows thing and put it in grub Pythack?
[09:03] <WilliamC2> My PSU fan normally runs silently but it stats to buzz after awhile.
[09:03] <Pythack> falco_ > sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:03] <WilliamC2> stats
[09:03] <nibbler> nmvictor: or do oyu want to delete those files in your home folder which you have on cdrom?
[09:04] <falco_> Pythack that is not what Iḿ asking
[09:04] <WilliamC2> starts ugh
[09:04] <falco_> Im asking how to add my windows in it, the default windows entry fails
[09:04] <Pythack> falco_ > What do you asking exactly?
[09:04] <kdub> WilliamC2: buy a new fan
[09:04] <WilliamC2> It's a PSU fan
[09:04] <WilliamC2> You cannot do thatg
[09:04] <kdub> buy a new psu
[09:04] <WilliamC2> That's no a solution for my situation.
[09:04] <Pythack> falco_ > I think you have to edit this entry.
[09:05] <nmvictor> nibbler: something like that, but a preview will be good,maybe with grep or something
[09:05] <Pythack> So you have to edit menu.lst?
[09:05] <falco_> Pythack the Grub update REMOVED the windows entry from the list
[09:05] <kdub> WilliamC2: how do you expect us to help you fix your powersupply fan?
[09:05] <zaggynl> WilliamC2: sounds like the fan is slightly tilted or obstructed by something
[09:05] <Pythack> falco_ > Yes. I've understand.
[09:05] <nibbler> nmvictor: diff /media/cdrom /other/location
[09:05] <falco_> and is there a PROGRAM that AUTO FINDS windows installations and PUTS it in GRUB automatically?
[09:05] <falco_> Like when you install Ubuntu?
[09:05] <howitzer_88> G'day all, I'm trying to reinstall Libenchant1c2a, however, synaptic and apt-get are insisting that it removes a bunch of other stuff, of which is important.. anyone know how to force a package to reinstall and not touch anything else?
[09:06] <WilliamC2> zag, yeah, I've thought about taping it with a hammer or buying canned air
[09:06] <Pythack> falco_ > Ah ok. I don't know if there are a program for thar but It's easy to edit grub.lst...
[09:06] <Pythack> that*
[09:06] <falco_> ok Pythack help me through it then
[09:07] <falco_> I made an entry with root hd(0,4), I've tried hd(0,1) till hd(0,6) and NONE of them work
[09:07] <Pythack> Where is windows?
[09:08] <falco_> on my Hard disk Pythack
[09:09] <icarus-c> falco_: lol
[09:09] <falco_> icarus-c his question isn't really specific
[09:09] <falco_> "where is windows" ._.
[09:10] <Pythack> falco_ > I know windows is in your hard disk :p
[09:10] <icarus-c> falco_: he is asking where your Windows install relies
[09:10] <reeniginEesreveR> whats the least painful way of setting up a mailserver on a subdomain for sending outbound messages (news letters, notifcations etc.) while making sure not much ends up in spam.
[09:10] <icarus-c> falco_: which partition
[09:10] <Pythack> But in which partition?
[09:10] <falco_> C:\
[09:10] <falco_> :)
[09:10] <Pythack> ...
[09:10] <falco_> on the same hard drive as my ubuntu installation
[09:10] <nmvictor> nibbler: that worked, so how about deleting them?
[09:10] <oldude67> falco_, do fdisk -l and find out.
[09:10] <blip-> lspci tells me I have an ATI Technologies Inc RV610 [Radeon HD 2400 XT].... I'm trying to know if the xorg-ati driver supports this card because fglrx was giving me problems.... I tried xorg-ati but the screen said it didn't support the resolution being sent to it
[09:11] <CHC> Pythack: look for one formatted as fat32 or ntfs and its probably in there, or atleast in one of them
[09:11] <falco_> Pythack /dev/sda1
[09:11] <parkadodge> how do i change the address that evolution is pulling through
[09:11] <Pythack> Ok.
[09:12] <Pythack> Now. Can you past your menu.lst please?
[09:12] <falco_> Ok
[09:12] <nibbler> nmvictor: well, i'd find /home/bla -exec if [ -e /media/cdrom/'{}`] ; then do rm /home/bla/'{}'; done \;     or something like this
[09:13] <falco_> Pythack here goes:
[09:13] <falco_> http://pastebin.com/d6a482081
[09:13] <nibbler> nmvictor: also you could grep the diff output and xarg it to delete the dupes
[09:13] <nibbler> nmvictor: if you want to find dupes, even if the name changed, use md5sum on the files and compare the output
[09:14] <falco_> btw windows is not in the menu.lst and that is exactly my problem.
[09:14] <nmvictor> mind pasting the two commands,my terminal does not support copy paste,id appreciate
[09:14] <jumbers> Does anybody know the Eclipse PHP package?
[09:14] <nmvictor> nibbler: mind pasting the two commands,my terminal does not support copy paste,id appreciate

[09:45] <Flannel> !hostname | Kemma
[09:45] <auntieNeo> if my understanding of public keys is correct, I don't think that BAN is the actual public key but a signature using that key...
[09:45] <auntieNeo> correct me if I'm wrong
[09:45] <auntieNeo> so I have no idea how to actually authorize this signature
[09:46] <AlexanderSupertr> is there a resume support download manager? for files close to 2GB?
[09:46] <kdub> Kemma: also, running /etc/init.d/hostname.sh after modifying those files doesnt hurt
[09:46] <AlexanderSupertr> is wget wnough?
[09:47] <auntieNeo> AlexanderSupertr: wget has resume support I believe... check the man page
[09:47] <Kemma> ok
[09:47] <Ben64> AlexanderSupertr: wget does support resume, but the server has to for it to work

[09:48] <phreck> nvidia
[09:48] <Nielsen> yeah, nvidia or intel
[09:48] <auntieNeo> AlexanderSupertr: I have no idea about guis
[09:48] <Ben64> even though ati has been getting better ive heard
[09:48] <Nielsen> or if you're lucky, openchrome by VIA
[09:48] <Nielsen> :D
[09:48] <auntieNeo> FF and any decent browser will support it in their default download managers
[09:48] <Ben64> also, intel graphics suck :S
[09:48] <auntieNeo> Ben64: stop being ignorant
[09:49] <auntieNeo> Ben64: intel has better drivers on Linux platforms :P
[09:49] <phreck> uh
[09:49] <Ben64> auntieNeo: maybe you need to look up the meaning of ignorant
[09:49] <auntieNeo> Ben64: but if you were to decide between ATI and Nvidia, I'd go with nVidia
[09:49] <phreck> intel hardware is junk as far as graphics go
[09:49] <AlexanderSupertr> auntieNeo: humm. thanks for help.
[09:49] <phreck> so he wasnt really being ignorant.
[09:49] <auntieNeo> Ben64: I was being sarcastic
[09:49] <phreck> lol
[09:49] <auntieNeo> Ben64: nvidia cards have caused me much pain in the past ;P
[09:49] <phreck> i didnt see the :P
[09:49] <auntieNeo> Ben64: ATI moreso
[09:50] <phreck> ATI usually gets working though
[09:50] <phreck> ive had multiple ATI cards in linux
[09:50] <Ben64> thats why i got rid of ati when i was on rh9
[09:50] <auntieNeo> I've heard the older ATI cards have better support
[09:50] <phreck> they j ust need some extra love
[09:50] <phreck> im using ATI right now
[09:50] <Ben64> radeon 9000 -> fx5200 -> 6800
[09:50] <phreck> on this laptop, ive got all the bells and whistles going too.
[09:50] <auntieNeo> phreck: which card? does it have open source drivers?
[09:50] <phreck> 3450 mobile chipset
[09:51] <phreck> i used the ATI drivers off their site.
[09:51] <auntieNeo> Ben64: you might want to read into it a bit... I've heard from people that the newest ATI cards don't yet have good 3d aceleration in Linux, but that might have changed
[09:52] <phreck> Ben64, given a choice, if i was building a linux machine i would go with nVidia
[09:52] <auntieNeo> Intel is the safest choice, for sure, and a decent cpu with an intel chip will run any game that Linux runs, 'cept maybe left4dead
[09:52] <Ben64> meh, i figure i'll be sticking with nvidia for a while
[09:52] <phreck> intel chipsets suck.
[09:52] <phreck> lol
[09:52] <GPL> If i had to buy the best powerful graphics card ever, which one , shud ya all recommend ?
[09:52] <Firefishe> Ubuntu 9.04 - standard desktop environment.  I am experiencing no sound.  Computer is an HP Mini.  Pulse audio's volume control shows the stream working, and nothing appears to be muted at all.  I have sound out the headphone jack but not the speakers, which is what I'm desiring.
[09:53] <Ben64> intel chips indeed suck
[09:53] <auntieNeo> GPL: I'd recomend you start a savings account and buy a reasonable card ;P
[09:53] <kismet> hey guys. I dont know what i exactly did, but under Application my menu item Add/remove software is gone how can i get it back
[09:54] <GPL> auntieNeo: i already have a ATI Card x1300/x1550 series, i just want another one ;)
[09:54] <lang2000> can you help me? please
[09:54] <Ben64> GPL: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814143202
[09:54] <auntieNeo> GPL: there's always a sweet spot in price for a GPU's power... and it's never the latest and greatest
[09:54] <Myrtti> !ask | lang2000
[09:54] <laeg> i followed a guide to add two PPAs one source for a more up to date version of FF than the ubuntu repo and subsequently removed the two PPAs, sudo apt-get remove firefox-3.5, and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox but now when i click on the firefox icon in my top panel i receieve the error 'failed to execute child process "firefox" no such file or directory' and the link has also disappeared from the applications >> internet menu - how can 
[09:54] <lang2000> Why to instaling printer lx300 in ubuntu 8.10
[09:55] <ra21vi> hey, some said ATI, other pointed nVidia and one or two came with Intel... anyway, Intel is not in option, since they are not at same performance and feature level where ATI or nViDIA would be...
[09:55] <SmokeyD> hey ppl, does antone have a recommendation for open source project management software with tasks, projects, users and worked hours recording? desktop or webbased?
[09:55] <auntieNeo> Firefishe: I'm not an ubuntu user, so I'll just wing it... try the "sudo alsaconf" command and tell me if it works
[09:55] <ra21vi> i want to know which of AIT and nVIDIA has better support.. opensource drivers available, and ease of installation of driver.. better if the driver is in package repository
[09:56] <Ben64> ra21vi: nvidia.
[09:56] <Kemma> Which firewall is good for Ubuntu
[09:56] <auntieNeo> ra21vi: nvidia probably, even though their drivers are hidious binary blobs ;)
[09:56] <ra21vi> SmokeyD: planner , not sure but look into it
[09:56] <auntieNeo> Kemma: iptables?
[09:56] <Ben64> Kemma: iptables? : /
[09:56] <Firefishe> auntieNeo:  command not found, it's not on here.  That's an old script, anyway.
[09:56] <auntieNeo> Kemma: I have a script I can host for you
[09:57] <ra21vi> auntieNeo: Ben64 : so their driver installation on Ubuntu isn't pain in donkey -- right??
[09:57] <Kemma> What script
[09:57] <auntieNeo> Kemma: actually, my script isn't for ubuntu... you're probably better off googling
[09:57] <Ben64> ra21vi: usually it's fine
[09:57] <ra21vi> Ben64: ok. thanks
[09:57] <auntieNeo> ra21vi: both the nvidia and ati restricted drivers are in the repository... so no, they shouldn't be a pain
[09:57] <auntieNeo> ra21vi: but they often are
[09:58] <Ben64> ra21vi: insert nvidia card, fire up ubuntu, ubuntu says "HEY you wanna install restricted nvidia driver?"
[09:58] <GPL> Ben64: i see. thanks.
[09:58] <Firefishe> what is the CLI command for resetting the sound card?
[09:58] <auntieNeo> ra21vi: ATI has a history of being a huge pain in Linux, but they're getting better, or so I've heard
[09:58] <SmokeyD> ra21vi: tanks, checking it out now
[09:58] <Kemma> ok
[09:58] <gaurav> hello every one
[09:58] <Besogon> kismet, open alacarte
[09:58] <ra21vi> and can someone suggest me a good laptop for heavy workstation work. ranging from development on Eclipse+Websphere to complex 3D works and rendering .
[09:59] <kismet> Besogon: pardon
[09:59] <auntieNeo> Firefishe: try maybe "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa restart"
[09:59] <Ben64> ra21vi: you realize that would weigh like 30lbs
[09:59] <auntieNeo> and tell me if it worked ;P
[09:59] <Firefishe> auntieNeo:  worth a go...brb
[09:59] <ra21vi> but the laptop should swing on Ubuntu - HP people are stuffing every laptop with Vista.. god, i want no operating system, and want to save money.
[10:00] <gaurav> i would like to know how to get the panel in the right side from top , i am in linux 9 version and tried to drag it and place it but it's stuck is there any guideline to make it as per user interference
[10:00] <Besogon> kismet, Did you delete gnome-app-install? If you do you should install it again. If dont Just add it to main menu with alacarte programm
[10:00] <ra21vi> Ben64: then , :)
[10:00] <kdub> ra21vi: depending on what country you're in, with some persistance they'll throw a little windows rebate your way
[10:00] <ra21vi> kdub: ok, I am in India
[10:01] <auntieNeo> Firefishe: actually, it would be more "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart && sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart"
[10:01] <Myrtti> gaurav: click it with the right mouse button, check properties or whatever and choose the location to be right instead of top
[10:01] <kdub> dunno anything about india. elephants, right? ;-)
[10:01] <leaf-sheep> ra21vi: When you buy a HP laptop, don't click EULA license and call HP that you don't agree to the license and want your money back for OS.
[10:01] <kismet> Besogon: that was it ... thanks ;)
[10:02] <ra21vi> leaf-sheep: really, i didnt know that.. there is hidden agreement
[10:02] <gaurav> thanks myrtti
[10:02] <Supercoley1> hello I am looking at installing ubuntu 8.04 ut am encountering some problems
[10:02] <gaurav> any idea about yahoo messanger for linux ?
[10:02] <kdub> Supercoley1: any reason why you dont want 9.04?
[10:02] <auntieNeo> gaurav: pidgen?
[10:03] <Firefishe> auntieNeo:  I see...thanks.  The first one didn't work.  I'll try the 2nd :)
[10:03] <Supercoley1> i read on the site that 8.04 had longer support time
[10:03] <gaurav> it dosn't have webcam
[10:03] <usman> anybody let me know about the best network management software?
[10:03] <Celestar> I'm looking for the 32-bit freetype development files, where could I find them?
[10:03] <kdub> Supercoley1: try 9.04, see if that works.
[10:04] <auntieNeo> Supercoley1: support time is mostly intended for people who pay for support, like businesses with large numbers of ubuntu machines or something
[10:04] <auntieNeo> Supercoley1: 9.04 should probably have better hardware support :)
[10:04] <Supercoley1> ok.  the problem though I had was when I put the disc in it recognises it and then says disk boot failure.  could that be because of the older version?
[10:04] <Myrtti> gaurav: no linux application supports yahoo webcam
[10:04] <laeg> i followed a guide to add two PPAs one source for a more up to date version of FF than the ubuntu repo and subsequently removed the two PPAs, sudo apt-get remove firefox-3.5, and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox but now when i click on the firefox icon in my top panel i receieve the error 'failed to execute child process "firefox" no such file or directory' and the link has also disappeared from the applications >> internet menu - how can 
[10:05] <Myrtti> gaurav: you might get windows version to work with wine, though I doubt it and haven't tried myself
[10:05] <gaurav> i tried it but not properly working
[10:05] <auntieNeo> Supercoley1: did you configure your bios to boot from CD and not from floppy? and did you use a nice, un-scratched disk with a slow burn speed?
[10:05]  * kdub doubts wine has very good webcam support
[10:05] <nmvictor> laeg:that icon isnt valid any more,just start it from menu or with firefox command at the terminal
[10:05] <gaurav> any other way to have webcam chat with yahoo ids
[10:06] <auntieNeo> Supercoley1: oh, and you need to burn the disk with an ISO burner... you can't just burn it as a file onto the disk
[10:06] <Myrtti> gaurav: no
[10:06] <Supercoley1> yes I changed the boot from A: C: E: to E: C: A:, brand new disc out of the packet and burned at 4x which is the slowest it will do.
[10:06] <auntieNeo> Supercoley1: did you even get the "Ubuntu" logo when you tried to boot it?
[10:06] <nmvictor> laeg: you can drag another icon from the menu and place it at the terminal and remove the previous one
[10:07] <Supercoley1> i used the one that was suggested on the ubuntu dowload page although I could use poweriso
[10:07] <auntieNeo> Supercoley1: ah, okay... that's strange then
[10:08] <cmot> Yodel!
[10:08] <nmvictor> laeg: did that work?
[10:08] <Supercoley1> no i got a statement with someones name on it I assume is the writer(co) or copyright or something and then it gave me disk boot failure.
[10:08] <cmot> Wasn't there a local directory where totem loads things like libdvdcss if it's not installed system-wide?  (I'm not root here :-( )
[10:09] <Supercoley1> I am using a pretty decent machine though if that could cause hardware problems
[10:09] <cmot> (Ubuntu 9.04, gnome, totem/gstreamer backend)
[10:09] <auntieNeo> Supercoley1: if you didn't get a logo, I'm guessing it didn't even read the bootloader on the CD. what you're seeing is probably a bios error, I'm guessing
[10:10] <laeg> nmvictor: firefox command doesn't work from terminal because it says it's uninstalled - i don't understand your drag instruction, what icon am i dragging from the menu?
[10:10] <Supercoley1> seconds later it reads a naughty version of XP3 to boot up and install so I could get my internet connection back for speaking on here ;)
[10:10] <cmot> Arrgh.  wrong button.
[10:10] <laeg> nmvictor: it is listed as installed in synaptic though and i'm able to open it by running a shell script from /bin - it's very strange
[10:10] <kieko> any gurus available?
[10:11] <gaurav> !sambha
[10:11] <gaurav> !samba
[10:11] <auntieNeo> Supercoley1: okay, sounds like it's definately not even reading the CD... I would maybe try using a different CD burning software, and make sure to "burn as ISO" or something to that effect
[10:11] <kieko> I'm looking for Ubuntu guru
[10:11] <auntieNeo> Supercoley1: if that's not working, maybe double check the bios settings or try a different CD drive
[10:11] <Ben64> !ask | kieko
[10:12] <Supercoley1> ill try poweriso.and the 9.04 version  maybe back later:) many thanks
[10:12] <kieko> Ben64: are you a guru? or is !ask your only expertise?
[10:12] <auntieNeo> Supercoley1: any decent computer should at the very least be able to show an ubuntu logo when booting one of those CDs... so it's definately something else :)
[10:12] <Ben64> kieko: good luck finding an answer.
[10:12] <nmvictor> then edit the icon at the panel to point to /bin/firefox  just right click it, select properties and at the command place the path to its binaries
[10:12] <nmvictor> laeg: then edit the icon at the panel to point to /bin/firefox  just right click it, select properties and at the command place the path to its binaries
[10:13] <kieko> comrades, question: icons on Desktop all have Name (text) underneath them, is there a way to remove?
[10:13] <Supercoley1> well i did try booting it within windows but it crashes at 7% it does have all the ubuntu 'windows' whn I did it that way.  just wont boot at the start.  This PC is strange.  it says on boot up no HD found and then loads up XP fine and shows 2 HDs
[10:13] <auntieNeo> keops: replace the text with a space
[10:13] <auntieNeo> argh
[10:13] <auntieNeo> kieko: replace the text with a space :)
[10:14] <auntieNeo> kieko: or use a desktop manager that has that feature... although I don't know any off the top of my head
[10:14] <kieko> auntieNeo: i tried that, but when i quit the properties dialog the name/text always pops back
[10:14] <auntieNeo> kieko: try to trick it with a unicode space, like this one: '　'
[10:14] <kieko> auntieNeo: i can try that
[10:15] <kieko> i wish Gnome wasn't so hard to configure though
[10:16] <auntieNeo> kieko: if you open the desktop icon file in a text editor (assuming it's a .desktop file) you can edit its properties directly
[10:16] <kieko> auntieNeo: yea, that doesn't trick anything. I just means i have two '          ' instead of a long name
[10:16] <kieko> auntieNeo: that is so convoluted AND assumes its a .desktop file
[10:17] <Ben64> auntieNeo's method totally works though
[10:17] <laeg> nmvictor: should the command firefox just work?
[10:17] <laeg> *shouldn't
[10:17] <auntieNeo> I don't use gnome for that very reason; it's not configurable
[10:17] <auntieNeo> and some of the defaults are rather annoying
[10:17] <kieko> auntieNeo: yea it sux
[10:18] <nmvictor> yea
[10:18] <auntieNeo> kieko: I wouldn't say it sucks... but I don't like it :P
[10:18] <nmvictor> laeg: yea, what did you say did work?
[10:18] <laeg> nmvictor: as you can see, ubuntu tells me firefox isn't installed even though i can run it, i don't want to just redirect the panel icon, i want it actually fixed http://pastebin.com/m472ad7d0
[10:18] <laeg> nmvictor: navigating to /bin and right clicking on a link to a shell script and then clicking run
[10:19] <Ben64> laeg: uninstall all firefox versions, then re-install?
[10:20] <error404notfound> i can't seem to change my skype pic :(
[10:20] <Ben64> but first, save your .mozilla directory if you care about passwords, history, etc
[10:20] <laeg> Ben64: just through synaptic GUI? i.e. search for firefox and remove whatever comes up or can i leave plugins etc?
[10:20] <Ben64> laeg: well i don't know what plugins would be there, but yeah through synaptic
[10:20] <khermans> I have five minutes -- i will fix five issues -- give me your hardest ones :-)
[10:21] <mbn_18> Hi, I clicked accidentally on a shortcut and the windows became transparent. quite cool. any one know what is the shortcut?
[10:21] <khermans> Ask me your HARDEST questions ... anyone!  ;-)
[10:22] <laeg> Ben64: in progress but synaptic doesn't list the 3.5 rc?
[10:22] <werti_russia> )
[10:22] <Ben64> laeg: how did you install it?
[10:22] <laeg> following a guide
[10:23] <laeg> which is evidently very very flawed
[10:23] <Ben64> hmmm
[10:23]  * Ben64 senses the problem
[10:23] <laeg> i've to reinstall ff now to get to the guide
[10:23] <nmvictor> laeg: maybe it has another command, try typing fire..<TAB>
[10:23] <laeg> people shouldn't be allowed write guides unless they can undo them
[10:23] <laeg> nmvictor: after in reinstall it, right?
[10:23] <Ben64> laeg: for future info, the mozilla team runs repositories from which you can install firefox 3.5
[10:24] <Ben64> and it works very nicely, through synaptic
[10:24] <laeg> nmvictor: fire <tab> installs nothing
[10:24] <laeg> Ben64: kk
[10:24] <laeg> Ben64: it may be the ubuntu repos he posted
[10:24] <laeg> Ben64: standby for link
[10:24] <zamba> what kind of rights do i need to access users and groups settings under system - administration?
[10:24] <zamba> where are these rights set?
[10:25] <werti_russia> pff
[10:25] <zamba> i've added myself in the sudoers list, but i still don't get access to it

[10:25] <laeg> Ben64: also, you fixed it woot! :)
[10:25] <laeg> mimor: ty also
[10:26] <laeg> ty both
[10:26] <mimor> laeg, ? didn't do anything
[10:26] <Ben64> hm : /
[10:26] <cmot> One more try: can I install libdvdcss locally (im my homedir) when I don't have root?  I'm using totem / gstreamer.
[10:26] <nmvictor> laeg:  thats just tab completions, just wanted you to see, maybe their are several command for firefox3.5, so typing fire then the <TAB>  key list available command that start with fire  like firefox
[10:26] <Ben64> even though thats probably correct, i wouldn't trust a blog for info like that
[10:27] <laeg> mimor: sorry i meant nmvictor

[10:42] <laeg> nmvictor: ff 3.5 isn't in synaptic
[10:42] <linxeh> adi9833: if ubuntu is in a VM running on XP, then all you need to do is set up shared networking in VMWare ?
[10:42] <_KeNsHiN_> http://es.beruby.com/promocode/u0NwGQ
[10:42] <sylvanus_> Dependency problems with ubuntu 9.04 can't run package manager or update manager
[10:42] <nmvictor> laeg: which version do you want removed?
[10:43] <zamba> linxeh: xubuntu comes bundled with xfce?
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> sylvanus_: ok can you provide a pastebin of: sudo apt-get -f install; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[10:43] <linxeh> zamba: yes
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> zamba: yes its the default de. You can install xfce on an instantiated ubuntu
[10:43] <adi9833> how i do that
[10:44] <linxeh> adi9833: you should check vmware support
[10:44] <adi9833> hey zamba and linxeh plz be with e for a while
[10:44] <laeg> nmvictor: purge tab command didn't work - i want 3.5 rc removed, i'm gonna stick with what ubuntu tells me i'm ready for as far as firefox goes - facebook didn't work properly
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> zamba: you can install any DE you can lay your hands on in linux
[10:44] <nmvictor> laeg: what did they tell you?
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> zamba: even flwm if the fancy takes you
[10:45] <zamba> ok, thanks :)

[10:45] <zamba> i want to access the system - administration - users and groups, but i get the error that i don't have the system access for this.. where is this set/controlled?
[10:45] <laeg> nmvictor: when i say they tell me i mean the version available from synaptic
[10:46] <laeg> nmvictor: rather than a guide written by some random i found on google :)
[10:46] <sylvanus_> it also said this: E: The list of sources could not be read.
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> zamba: try: gksudo synaptic
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> sylvanus_: can you pastebin the entire output please
[10:46] <sylvanus_> what is pastebin?
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> !paste | sylvanus_

[10:51] <groza> ActionParsnip:ok
[10:51] <sylvanus_> Action: Please I don't hardly know anything about this, I turned my computer on the this morning and It told me I have unresolvable dependencies
[10:52] <sylvanus_> I am basicly an idiot when it comes to all this
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> sylvanus_: instead of telling me what the output says, you can copy all the text to a pastebin, hit paste, then give the link. I can then see what you see in your terminal
[10:53] <nmvictor> laeg: the y are all in some directory, eg if you sudo rm -rf /etc/firefox-3.5 you'll have deleted a good number
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> laeg: you could use: sudo apt-get --reinstall install firefox-3.5; sudo apt-get --purge remove firefox-3.5; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[10:54] <nmvictor> laeg: i think i side with ActionParsnip
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> laeg: that will install it so it is complete then rip it out
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> sylvanus_: copy the text from the commands, then go to http://pastebin.com and paste the text there, add your name in the little box. When the page changes, give us the address

[11:13] <gst> do any of you use tuxtype for leraning typing?
[11:13] <paulws02> padi999: As long as you don't touch any metal part I don't think you will need grounding, as for starting up the MB... I think you must make a short to start it

[11:20] <grawity> then go fix that line.
[11:20] <sylvanus_> I don't know how
[11:21] <grawity> Go to line 58, remove the " characters from it, save.

[11:22] <hatori> right
[11:23] <hatori> right after fedora and suse
[11:23] <grawity> Jamesq123: I guess you are an Ubuntu user, then.
[11:23] <Jamesq123>  :D
[11:23] <grawity> sylvanus_: then you probably typed the command wrong :\
[11:23] <Myrtti> Jamesq123: did you have a ubuntu support question?

[11:24] <joker> about the start page in ubuntu 9.04
[11:24] <Jamesq123> i 'm wondering  which edition should be installed  for the  very first  experience of  linux...
[11:24] <warlock_handler> guys i need a little help in studying buying behavior of foreign consumers..
[11:25] <warlock_handler> can any of you guys volunteer for a short 7 question survey?
[11:25] <warlock_handler> it would take 30 secs
[11:25] <Myrtti> warlock_handler: this is Ubuntu support, not random questionnaire advertising place
[11:25] <kdub> warlock_handler: this has nothing to do with the topic
[11:25] <warlock_handler> Myrtti: i am a ubuntu user from the past 5 years
[11:26] <joker> why is it that if I do the same search on the start page or on the google search bar i dont have the same results ?
[11:26] <joker> I want to be able to clic videp
[11:26] <mbn_18> When I browse files through specific softwares ( like Diffuse ) I dont see the sftp folders. any idea why?
[11:26] <joker> video
[11:26] <warlock_handler> Myrtti: i belong to this community, me part of the indian ubuntu community.. i market it in schools and colleges
[11:26] <joker> et get rid of those adds
[11:26] <kavurt> Jamesq123, the last stable version should be the most suitable: 9.04
[11:26] <Myrtti> warlock_handler: and your request still doesn't fit to the topic of this channel. Use #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:26] <warlock_handler> Myrtti: thnx buddy...
[11:27] <Jamesq123> ok,thanks
[11:27] <Myrtti> warlock_handler: if even that. This is strictly ubuntu support
[11:27] <warlock_handler> Myrtti: i think i was looking for that room.. my bad...

[11:31] <Jamesq123> the  pronuncation of  ubuntu  is very simila to  darkY-grey sily rabbit
[11:31] <Jamesq123> in chinese
[11:32] <grawity> paulws02: Synaptic doesn't ask for your password -- the 'sudo' command does.
[11:33] <Wizzup> What is the channel dedicated to Karmic?

[11:33] <aatish> hi everybody. i will be grateful if you can help me about the filesystem ext4.
[11:34] <joker> paulws02, <paulws02> 1 question: If I open Synaptic Package Manager , it's asking for a passwd, but my user passwd won't work, even the root passwd won't work, so I use aptitude(logged in as root) from console(works perfect),but how can I reset tha Synaptic Password ?
[11:34] <aatish> ihave many importatn file in the /home directory and i cannot mount the hard disk
[11:34] <fahadsadah> paulws02, grawity: Use your user password. If your account doesn't have a password, leave that field blank.
[11:34] <fahadsadah> To reset your password, as root, type "passwd yourusername"
[11:34] <aatish> i did fsck /dev/sdb5 since 10 hours and nothing works
[11:34] <joker> type sudo passwd
[11:35] <fahadsadah> joker: If he doesn't know his password, how can he use sudo?
[11:35] <Myrtti> !root
[11:35] <paulws02> by Synaptic -> The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator.
[11:35] <Myrtti> !noroot
[11:35] <aatish> i also did e2fsck -f -y -v /dev/sdb5 and it takes too much time
[11:36] <joker> paulws02, go in a terminal
[11:36] <fahadsadah> joker: He can't use sudo, not knowing his password.
[11:36] <joker> then type "sudo passwd"
[11:36] <joker> set your root password
[11:36] <paulws02> If I run 'su', it's ok, I can log to root, but I cann't run 'sudo mc', it sais login fail
[11:36] <joker> and you are done
[11:37] <fahadsadah> joker: That will ask for a password. He doesn't know his password. He already has a root password
[11:37] <fahadsadah> paulws02: As root, type passwd yourusername.
[11:37] <Myrtti> joker: please, do not, DO NOT tell people how to set up root password
[11:37] <fahadsadah> joker, Myrtti: He already has one.
[11:37] <fahadsadah> !noroot | paulws02
[11:37] <Myrtti> if you have root password enabled, IT may be the reason the stuff doesn't work
[11:37] <fahadsadah> !wfm
[11:38] <joker> ok
[11:38] <fahadsadah> Myrtti: How can having a root pw break things/
[11:38] <fahadsadah> ?
[11:38] <Myrtti> fahadsadah: because ubuntu is designed to use SUDO, not ROOT.
[11:38] <paulws02> fahadsadah: ok, I've changed my user password
[11:39] <fahadsadah> paulws02: Use that for commands that ask for a password (except for su)
[11:39] <fahadsadah> Get into the habit of using sudo, rather than becoming root and doing things.
[11:39] <darksifer> can someone tell me how to repair ext4 more rapidly. i have urgent important files there in this partition.
[11:39] <darksifer> please
[11:39] <paulws02> I can't sudo, I can only su...
[11:39] <fahadsadah> To restore the root account to default (locked), type sudo passwd -l root
[11:40] <fahadsadah> paulws02: You can sudo now. Use the password you just set.
[11:40] <Myrtti> fahadsadah: given he's in sudoers
[11:40] <paulws02> paulws02 is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[11:41] <fahadsadah> paulws02: OK, su to root, then type "adduser paulws02 admin"
[11:41] <fahadsadah> Also,
[11:41] <frozty_sa> hiya

[11:43] <joker> fahadsadah, I like the ubuntu logo i want to change the start page

[11:48] <adi9833> nay ubuntu 8.10 users?
[11:48] <chessnutmushroom> guys my compiz fusion effects are really slow and im running a geforce 8600mGT, any way of fixing it?
[11:48] <Gnea> chessnutmushroom: tone it down
[11:48] <darksifer> am using 9.04 ubuntu
[11:48] <joooooe> question: how can i get the total volume of downloaded data since the system is running as a value, like gnome system monitor shows it?
[11:49] <adi9833> Hello there. I have installed Ubuntu 8.10 with VMWare and use Windows XP as the host Operating System.I just took a broadband cable connection which works great on XP.Now i want to use this connection on Ubuntu.I did all the necessary basic settings fron the Network Connections tab like adding a new wired conection and manually entering all the IP and DNS information.On doing this the icon at top shows that the connection is established but still on ping
[11:49] <chessnutmushroom> tone what down?
[11:49] <Gnea> the eyecandy
[11:49] <fahadsadah> adi9833: Is it bridged properly in VMWare?
[11:49] <joooooe> you could also switch to metacity if you dont care for eyecandy
[11:49] <chessnutmushroom> cool, how did i get the underline?
[11:50] <Gnea> _?
[11:50] <adi9833> i dnt understand nethng..ya but i tried with bridged
[11:50] <chessnutmushroom> oh i get you, i am only using one effect, the beam effect
[11:50] <fahadsadah> Please pastebin the output of "ifconfig"?
[11:50] <fahadsadah> !pastebin | adi9833
[11:51] <chessnutmushroom> i thought 8600 was a good card, i used to play COD4 on windows with it
[11:51] <Jamesq123> haha ,bridge construction is really  time,money-consuming  work
[11:51] <Gnea> adi9833: tell vmware to use nat and have it assign itself a private address range
[11:51] <adi9833> sorry?
[11:51] <Gnea> fahadsadah: he can't, his ubuntu is not connected to the net
[11:51] <joooooe> so, does anybody know a terminal command that will return the total size of the data i downloaded since i logged on to my system?
[11:51] <Gnea> adi9833: change it from bridged to nat
[11:52] <adi9833> i tries that also
[11:52] <fahadsadah> joooooe: ifconfig
[11:52] <darksifer> please guys if you can spare some time for me to help me recover/repair my data on a ext4 partition i would be grateful. i tried fsck and e2fsck but it takes too much time. plz
[11:52] <Gnea> joooooe: du -sh ./
[11:52] <joooooe> thanks
[11:52] <fahadsadah> darksifer: If the data really is important, wait.
[11:52] <fahadsadah> joooooe, Gnea: Wrong.
[11:52] <adi9833> guys help me plz
[11:52] <Gnea> darksifer: if it's still going without any errors, then wait
[11:52] <Gnea> adi9833: I just did.
[11:52] <fahadsadah> That returns the size of the current directory.
[11:52] <Gnea> !vmware | adi9833
[11:52] <joooooe> ok...
[11:52] <adi9833> i a a novice
[11:53] <Jamesq123> joooooe	:just type 'ls -l"
[11:53] <Jamesq123> hehe
[11:53] <darksifer> fahadsadah: yes i got my assignements on it
[11:53] <fahadsadah> darksifer: Then wait.
[11:53] <Gnea> adi9833: there's nothing to it. go to the GUI of vmware and configure the network adapter to be nat. restart. simple.
[11:53] <fahadsadah> Jamesq123: Also wrong.
[11:53] <fahadsadah> ifconfig tells you how much data has been downloaded.
[11:53] <adi9833> i tried but it did now work
[11:53] <fahadsadah> ls -l, and du -sh, give you the size of the current directory.
[11:53] <Gnea> then you probably missed a step
[11:53] <k3ops> du -sh ? this tells your complete disksize not only the downloaded files
[11:53] <Gnea> did you stop ubuntu from running first?
[11:54] <fahadsadah> k3ops: df gives disks, du gives folders.
[11:54] <frozty_sa> anyone have an idea about my vmware question?
[11:54] <fahadsadah> Both are irrelevant.
[11:54] <darksifer> fahadsadah: check my pastebin http://pastebin.com/m4329b72a plz
[11:54] <fahadsadah> joooooe: Type ifconfig, and see the bottom line
[11:54] <darksifer> Gnea: check my pastebin http://pastebin.com/m4329b72a plz
[11:54] <Gnea> frozty_sa: ask it again
[11:55] <joooooe> fahadsadah: RX bytes?
[11:55] <adi9833> gnea re u telling me?
[11:55] <fahadsadah> darksifer: What the _hell_ did you do to that HD?
[11:55] <fahadsadah> joooooe: Yes.

[11:55] <frozty_sa> I'm on a ubuntu desktop, and I'm using the vmware2 web management console thingy to interact with vmware guests. my problem is that the arrow keys within the client don't work. I've found how to fix them for vmware1, but not 2. can anyone help me?
[11:55] <Gnea> darksifer: run it like this:  e2fsck -y /dev/sdaX
[11:55] <Gnea> adi9833: yes.
[11:56] <fahadsadah> frozty_sa: File that as a bug.
[11:56] <darksifer> fahadsadah: i just did e2fsck
[11:56] <fahadsadah> !bug | frozty_sa
[11:56] <Gnea> frozty_sa: oh!
[11:56] <darksifer> Gnea: ok. but how much time do i have to wait to be sure that the command u gave me is working
[11:56] <Gnea> frozty_sa: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/217063
[11:57] <Gnea> darksifer: it'll automatically assume 'yes' to everything - just kick back, go make a pizza or something
[11:57] <Gnea> adi9833: please don't pm
[11:57] <Gnea> !pm | adi9833
[11:57] <frozty_sa> Gnea: no, that only works for vmware1 :-/
[11:57] <frozty_sa> fahadsadah: I guess I'm going to have to do that
[11:58] <Gnea> frozty_sa: I don't know about vmware2. vmware2 has always been... wrong. :)
[11:58] <fahadsadah> Gnea: I disagree.
[11:58] <fahadsadah> I have a server virtualized on it, and the performance is _excellent_
[11:59] <frozty_sa> Gnea: change is inherent to progress
[11:59] <fahadsadah> Stability too. Xen always seems to crash for me.
[11:59] <Gnea> fahadsadah: eh, vmware2 has always been problematic for me. thought maybe the fix was the same... perhaps that forum has an answer specifically for vmware2
[11:59] <frozty_sa> xen on debian sucks ass
[11:59] <innomen> miro:
[11:59] <innomen>  Depends: libxine1-plugins but it is not going to be installed, it says i have a missing repository or soemthing?
[11:59] <Gnea> frozty_sa: language, please
[11:59] <fahadsadah> innomen: Dependency, you mean?
[11:59] <fahadsadah> Try installing libxine1-plugins manually.
[12:00] <Gnea> frozty_sa: and yes, I agree about change :)
[12:00] <frozty_sa> I've never managed a successful deb-xen, but I've had like 19 solid xen servers for over a year
[12:00] <fahadsadah> frozty_sa: Gnea means keyboard layout.
[12:00] <darksifer> Gnea: but before the chat i did e2fsck -f -y -v /dev/sdb5.   is that ok or should i cancel and do e2fsck -y /dev/sdb5
[12:00] <frozty_sa> anyhow, thanks for the ideas. I'll report a bug and see what comes of it
[12:00] <fahadsadah> darksifer: Leave it.
[12:00] <innomen> fahadsadah, not sure, let me reproduce the rror
[12:00] <Gnea> darksifer: oh, no, let it keep going with that - you have -y already, you just turned on a bunch of verbosity so it's massively noisy
[12:01] <frozty_sa> fahadsadah: yes, I understand the bug that causes this. I also know where to find the keyboard layout stuff for the vmware2 console. what I don't have is the magic to change it appropriately
[12:01] <innomen> fahadsadah, says unresolved dependanciesa make sure all required repositores are added in prefs
[12:01] <fahadsadah> darksifer: -v makes it tell you everything it does.
[12:02] <fahadsadah> Be back later guys, reinstalling Windows.
[12:02] <innomen> good luck
[12:02] <innomen> have fun
[12:02] <fahadsadah> Lol!
[12:03] <darksifer> fahadsadah: you know what?? all these data was in NTFS until 2 days ago. i removed windows and running ubuntu only. lol
[12:03] <jumbers> Why is the Eclipse package that's in the repos 3.2? It's from 2006
[12:03] <Gnea> frozty_sa: found these, not sure if they'll do it or not: http://informationideas.com/news/2009/04/27/ubuntu-904-vmware-arrow-keys-problem/  http://bigtrev.blogsome.com/category/computers/vmware/
[12:04] <leaf-sheep> jumbers: They only update important/security/vital packages.

[12:15] <Anarhist> i am having problems with anything which accesses PGP keys (that is the plugin for thunderbird, seahorse, and even 'gpg' terminal command), things just sit there and wait for some lock to be released. i was thinking of nuking my configuration files and then re-importing all the keys, but i don't know where all this stuff is stored. Can somebody please help with that?
[12:15] <Myrtti> fahadsadah: it's a bit more strict that that
[12:15] <monkeys> xchat fail lol
[12:15] <innomen> fahadsadah, i'm sure, that would seem reasonable

[12:16] <monkeys> ok fahadsadah the error is cmake error the following errors variables are used in this project is not found plz make sure they are set and tested correctly in the cmake files
[12:16] <Anarhist> q; -)=

[12:17] <monkeys> lmao
[12:17] <innomen> grawity, yea but i'm all open sourceified now :P
[12:17] <leaf-sheep> So you were joking when you said that. :)
[12:17] <innomen> fahadsadah, irssi you say?
[12:18] <grawity> irssi!
[12:18] <fahadsadah> innomen, grawity: mIRC scripting doesn't work in WINE
[12:18] <innomen> leaf-sheep, no, i just used it WELL beyond it's 30 day trial
[12:18] <phreck> xchat irssi or ircII
[12:18] <ct529> is it possible to limit the amount of memory a process uses?
[12:18] <grawity> ircII is kinda... old.
[12:18] <grawity> ct529: ulimit --help
[12:18] <phreck> grawity, works well on the console
[12:18] <innomen> i want mozilla ot make an irc client

[12:19] <fahadsadah> innomen: It exists
[12:19] <innomen> wait no

[12:19] <grawity> innomen: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16 -- doesn't own, IMO.
[12:19] <innomen> no
[12:19] <ct529> grawity: already tried
[12:19] <phreck> yea, chatzilla is real.
[12:19] <innomen> i mean like a stand alone thing
[12:19] <innomen> chatzilla is just xchat from within firefox
[12:19] <fahadsadah> No.
[12:19] <ct529> grawity: ulimit -Sd 2000000 did not work .... :(
[12:19] <grawity> innomen: like... https://wiki.mozilla.org/ChatZilla:XULRunner ?

[12:20] <ct529> grawity: also ulimit --help returns an error
[12:20] <myeyespy> I've just switched to Linux & am overwhelmed. I've gotten it just the way I want it with one exception. I want it so that if I drag a window (got 4 virtual desks) in either direction for Y time it switches to that desktop automatically. I assume there is a simple choice selection for it in compiz but I can't find it. Found nothing while searching google
[12:20] <bet0x> ct529 "main ulimit"
[12:20] <bet0x> ct529 "man ulimit"
[12:20] <bet0x> without the "i"
[12:20] <grawity> ct529: 'help ulimit'
[12:21] <grawity> bet0x: the manpage isn't very informative here.
[12:21] <Newb123> Hey I have some problems with my mobile internet, whenever I try to connect it says "GSM Disconnected", :s
[12:21] <innomen> hey that reminds me
[12:21] <innomen> how can i get the cool cube desktop goodness?
[12:21] <ct529> bet0x: no man ulimit
[12:21] <grawity> !ccsm | innomen
[12:21] <fahadsadah> myeyespy: There's a compiz setting (I forget the name) that lets you drag between workspaces
[12:21] <innomen> i have compiz running already i just dont know what i'm doing
[12:21] <bet0x> ct529 help ulimit
[12:21] <grawity> innomen: install that, then enable Desktop Cube.
[12:21] <innomen> grawity, kewl, thanky
[12:22] <fahadsadah> From the Windows 7 final EULA: "You may use the software on up to two processors on the licensed computer at one time"
[12:22] <fahadsadah> How do Microsoft define processors?
[12:22] <Newb123> sorry i accidently exited, but my mobile internet wont connect, whenever I try it says "GSM Disconnected"
[12:22] <grawity> fahadsadah: Physical thingies.
[12:22] <myeyespy> Depends on how deep your pockets are fahad
[12:22] <innomen> fahadsadah, lol so i have to buy two copies for a quad core machine?
[12:22] <ct529> grawity: bet0x: thanks help ulimit works, but that is the same documentation that is on the net .... so why did ulimit -Sd 2000000 did not work .... :(
[12:22] <HACKER10011> hi
[12:22] <HACKER10011> :d
[12:22] <fahadsadah> innomen: That's what I was asking. I have a C2Q
[12:22] <grawity> fahadsadah, innomen: Even XP knows that quad-core is still a single psychical CPU.
[12:23] <HACKER10011> !@@@@!
[12:23] <innomen> HACKER10011, should you evwen be in a support channel?
[12:23] <HACKER10011> oops
[12:23] <phreck> eleets need support too.
[12:23] <phreck> lulz.
[12:23] <bet0x> ct529 Values are in 1024-byte increments, except for `-t', which is in seconds, `-p', which is in units of 512-byte blocks, and `-n' and `-u', which are unscaled values
[12:23] <HACKER10011> sory i meant to the #areyoukiddingme
[12:23] <HustlersDave> Hi all, anyone here able to help me with a Grub Error 17 problem??
[12:23] <craCkpot> is it possible to write a script that will automatically compress a given folder keeping directory structure intact?  possibly adding other files to the archive?
[12:23] <ct529> bet0x: yes I know, indeed i wanted to limit the shell to 2 Gb (hence the 20000000)
[12:23] <fahadsadah> "only one user may use the software at a time"
[12:24] <innomen> phreck, hackers was a good movie i dont care what anyone says
[12:24] <fahadsadah> That's Naziism
[12:24] <grawity> !ot | fahadsadah
[12:24] <fahadsadah> craCkpot: tar zcvf compressedfilename.tar.gz foldername
[12:24] <phreck> innomen, ill agree
[12:24] <innomen> phreck, "pool on the roof, must have a leak" best "Now What Sucka" moment in movie history :P
[12:24] <nmvictor> i have fully customized my firefox with addons and plugins.How can i have that with me to another computer, i mean  all the stuff, the addons,plugins and all my pimps?
[12:24] <phreck> tis a classic.
[12:24] <phreck> brb
[12:25] <HustlersDave> hi all, anyone here know how i can fix this GRUB error 17 problem, i can't get into Ubuntu or Windows 7 at all on my other pc...
[12:25] <grawity> innomen: Exactly
[12:25] <fahadsadah> nmvictor: I don't think that's possible.
[12:25] <innomen> nmvictor, copy the profile folder, it even works from moving to ubuntu from windows
[12:25] <nmvictor> innomen: sure?
[12:25] <craCkpot> can i do the same thing with zip?
[12:25] <innomen> fahadsadah, what i do with unreasonable Eula's is ignore them
[12:25] <nmvictor> fahadsadah: whats not possible has a possibility to be possible
[12:25] <fahadsadah> craCkpot: .tar.gz is better than .zip
[12:26] <craCkpot> i agree, but i doubt the users of the software in the zip will have the software to decompress
[12:26] <innomen> fahadsadah, i own a legit lisence for xp but i run the cracked up warez versions because they are simply more stable and less annoying
[12:26] <craCkpot> its a PHP script with many files
[12:26] <innomen> that kind of crap was why i left M$ in the first place
[12:26] <geekhut> rc.freenode.com
[12:26] <grawity> craCkpot: if someone knows how to run PHP scripts, he'll probably know how to untar too.
[12:26] <nmvictor> !GRUB | HustlersDave:
[12:26] <craCkpot> you'd be suprised
[12:27] <fahadsadah> craCkpot: man zip
[12:27] <Newb123> my mobile internet wont connect, whenever I try it says "GSM Disconnected", anyone know how to fix this?
[12:27] <innomen> craCkpot, agreed
[12:27] <fahadsadah> I'm only allowed to connect 20 printers to my Windows machine?
[12:28] <innomen> fahadsadah, heehh in there somewhere is a resitrction on how many times you can click the mouse per day
[12:28] <darksifer> fahadsadah: one last question. what file system are you using? is ext3 more stable than ext4?
[12:28] <frogzoo> if I have net.ipv4.tcp_sack == 1, why don't I see the header set in wireshark?
[12:29] <fahadsadah> darksifer: Please remember that ext4 is relatively new, whereas 2/3 have been around for years
[12:29] <fahadsadah> 2/3 are much more tested
[12:29] <innomen> frogzoo, is probably more leet that HACKER10011 since i dont even remotly understand his question much less how i could help
[12:29] <grawity> Speaking of Hackers the movie... how do I convert an .avi to .mp4? (ffmpeg doesn't accept the input, mencoder only outputs a few megs.)
[12:29] <innomen> than*
[12:29] <Newb123> my mobile internet wont connect, whenever I try it says "GSM Disconnected", anyone know how to fix this?
[12:29] <fahadsadah> !spam | Newb123

[12:31] <ActionParsnip> matuu_: sure
[12:31] <matuu_> so i can use my live usb like a server ?
[12:31] <rsk> matuu_: use deluser
[12:32] <matuu_> it refuses cause it is still connected on all the tty
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> matuu_: its better to have a proper user though
[12:32] <matuu_> yes i create "matu"
[12:32] <innomen> ActionParsnip, i'm going vegitarian the instant i can afford it
[12:32] <darksifer> ok thanks everyone for help.
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> matuu_: as long as you have a proper user you'll befine
[12:32] <innomen> ActionParsnip, i live in the south, i'd have to have tofu shipped in
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> innomen: steak is too tasty :)
[12:33] <matuu_> it does not work
[12:33] <matuu_> cause ubuntu has the automatic login
[12:33] <kjs> is there no option for LVM on the 9.04 desktop installer?
[12:33] <frogzoo> lol innomen
[12:33] <innomen> ActionParsnip, i'm lucky i actually like brocollii casserole better
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> matuu_: you will have to make the new user, then log on as that user to delete the old user
[12:33] <darksifer> fahadsadah: e2fsck is stil going on. is it normal?
[12:33] <leaf-sheep> kjs: None. Use alternative disc
[12:33] <matuu_> through ubuntu ?
[12:33] <kjs> leaf-sheep: that sucks
[12:34] <leaf-sheep> kjs: I use minimal disc which is only 10mb~
[12:34] <innomen> why issnt there a "both" install image for usb sticks?
[12:34] <matuu_> i cant log out ActionParsnip
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> innomen: both what?

[12:35] <grawity> kisuke: Did you try decrypting the message?
[12:35] <matuu_> by killing Xorg ?
[12:35] <grawity> kisuke: What mail client are you using?
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> innomen: add it as a feature suggestion
[12:35] <matuu_> oh ok sorry
[12:35] <matuu_> i missed the user
[12:35] <dbglt> hey folks, using karmic, just wondering if there are any problems with me simply installing the nvidia driver I want via apt? I normally do it manually from the nvidia website, but would be nice to have it part of apt?
[12:35] <matuu_> i mean the button
[12:35] <innomen> ActionParsnip, but its funner just to whine at you :P
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> innomen: doesnt achieve anything though
[12:35] <kisuke> yes through thunderbird terminal froze on me sending keys to server
[12:35] <innomen> besides i figured there might be a good answer
[12:35] <bazhang> dbglt, #ubuntu+1 for karmic
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> innomen: you could make it yourself
[12:35] <dbglt> bazhang: ah, cheers
[12:36] <innomen> you guys routinly answer me "why isnt there" questions with "there is"
[12:36] <kisuke> mail client is thunderbird with eingmail
[12:36] <innomen> ActionParsnip, see? thats a sort of "there is"
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> innomen: a dvd with boot iso files on and a bootloader. then create an iso of the whole lot
[12:36] <wWales> how do i browse the sharde folders of a networked windows computer from the commandline?
[12:36]  * Dr_Willis wanders in.
[12:36] <grawity> kisuke: And Enigmail hangs when opening it?
[12:36] <grawity> wWales: smbclient
[12:36] <innomen> ActionParsnip, woah thats possible ? can that be done off a usb stick?
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> wWales: or smbmount
[12:36] <kisuke> gives an error
[12:37] <kisuke> one min to get it
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> innomen: sure, just take some work to get it nice
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> wWales:  if you see its icon oin the desktop, it should be mounted in the users .gvfs directory
[12:37] <innomen> ActionParsnip, i tried for ever to make a usbstick winxp sintaller
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> innomen: you could have 2 iso files and lilo which can boot iso files
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> wWales:  or you mount it some other way.
[12:37] <innomen> ActionParsnip, i was told it was impossible eventually
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> innomen: nothing is impossible if you try hard enough
[12:37] <matuu_> "ubuntu is connected_"
[12:37] <GPL> I am not sure, if i am using Ubuntu 32 bit or 64 bit ... how can i check that , + how can i view system related information [in windows, it's msinfo32 ], but in Ubuntu ?

[12:38] <innomen> ActionParsnip, well yea, i mean i could write the stuff myself, but i mean possible in the toddler opening the mayo jar sense of the world, not haveing to raise cows and blow glass sense of the word :)
[12:38] <nmvictor> innomen: which profile folder did you mean?
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> Ive seen special kernels/initrd's that then see/access/mount 'boot' specific iso files. :)  but thats not quite the same as booting an 'iso' file in a general sence.
[12:38] <GPL> ActionParsnip: thanks.
[12:38] <grawity> nmvictor: ~/.mozilla/
[12:38] <leaf-sheep> Oh noes. :<
[12:38] <innomen> nmvictor, in your firefox install that you want to migrate somewhere in there should eb a propfile folder, just copy over everything, you can always delete it and try again if it breaks
[12:39] <HustlersDave> Dr_Willis my trusty helper how are you :)
[12:39] <HustlersDave> i need help :( grub died thanks to win7 :(
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> HustlersDave:   goofing off. :) as usuaal.
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> check the !fixgrub wiki page yet?
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> !grub | HustlersDave
[12:39] <innomen> nmvictor, what grawity said
[12:39] <HustlersDave> yep i have
[12:39] <HustlersDave> i cant mount :(
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> !mount | HustlersDave
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> 'cant' or 'dont know how' :)
[12:40] <HustlersDave> mount: can't find /dev/sda3 in /etc/fstab or etc/mtab
[12:40] <GPL> hmm i want to switch to 64-bit Ubuntu, is there some upgrade available rather than reinstalling everything :( again
[12:40] <HustlersDave> im following instructions and it wont mount it
[12:40] <innomen> Dr_Willis, goofing off? are you kidding? you are like the help junkie
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> HustlersDave: make a folder, then mount to that folder
[12:40] <fahadsadah> HustlersDave: Specify a mount point.
[12:40] <kisuke> first line is - error decryption failed
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> innomen:  just got home from work actually. 3rd shift.
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> GPL: you will need to reinstall
[12:41] <grawity> kisuke: Can you try copying the message to a textfile, and then running gpg --decrypt on it?
[12:41] <nmvictor> grawity: innomen thanks,let me try
[12:41] <HustlersDave> guys come on i obviously typed mkdir /media/root first
[12:41] <innomen> Dr_Willis, get home form work sign in to work
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> HustlersDave: then you need, sudo mount /de
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> oops
[12:41] <kisuke> one min
[12:41] <HustlersDave> Dr_Willis inspires me to be good at what i do
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> sudo mount /dev/sda3 /media/root -o uid=1000
[12:41] <HustlersDave> ActionParsnip can u repeat that
[12:41] <HustlersDave> hhmmm u sure bout this
[12:41] <innomen> HustlersDave, 4real, doc is awesome
[12:41] <HustlersDave> i havent backed up anything n would not want to lose that stuff lol
[12:42] <wWales> when attempting "smbclient //networkname/computername i get Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME"
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> wWales: try smbmount and mount the shared partition to a folder
[12:42] <quarknik> bye
[12:42] <i00nsu> hi ppl, i need help about sharing a printer un a windows box to one or more ubuntu machines.. is this a ubuntu question or should i find solutions in a channel dedicated to windows?
[12:42] <innomen> fahadsadah, dude it's Still updateing since i checked that "main" source *facepalm* i have no idea how long that has been unchecked
[12:42] <jpastore> Is there a way to control which screen an application starts on from the "startup applications"
[12:42] <HustlersDave> ActionParsnip it said wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock etc etc
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> HustlersDave: its only mounting, the data is not editted
[12:43] <innomen> its like my install is yelling at me
[12:43] <HustlersDave> how the hell can i mount this lol
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> HustlersDave: add -t ext3  to the mount
[12:43] <wWales> is the syntax smbmount //network/computer/share /home/mybox/mymountpoint?
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> HustlersDave: will you quit punctuatig with 'lol' its reallt tedious
[12:43] <HustlersDave> ActionParsnip my ext is ext4 btw for my 64bit ubuntu
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> jpastore:  often you can do a 'DISPLAY=0.1 runapp' and it might show up on the 2nd screen
[12:43]  * innomen looks at burito ....
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> HustlersDave: then use    -t ext4
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> jpastore:  or somting like that.. :)
[12:44] <phreck> you guys have any panel replacements that you like?
[12:44] <eltese> Hi. Is there any flash guru available ? :) My flash is working , though extremely poorly and in some wine related programs the text isnt showing (wich I think is related to my flash issues though Im not certain). Im on Ubuntu 9.04 32-bit.
[12:44] <phreck> think im gonna gimme some eyecandy.
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> jpastore:  but i cant rember the details.. i saw it done once befor.. but that info i gave seems to be incorrect.. trying to rember how i did it befor
[12:44] <phreck> eltese, that wouldnt affect wine
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> phreck:  if you want somthing dock-ish try gnome-do and its dock theme
[12:44] <HustlersDave> ActionParsnip where do i add the ext4 part? sudo mount /dev/sda3 /media/root -o uid=1000
[12:45] <phreck> Dr_Willis, ill give it a whirl, thanks
[12:45] <fahadsadah> HustlersDave: The end.
[12:45] <nmvictor> innomen: grawity doesnt contain a folder for addins
[12:45] <eltese> phreck: Ok. I still got issues with it though
[12:45] <kisuke> yes returns "gpg: no valid PGP data found"
[12:45] <grawity> nmvictor: it does, "extensions"
[12:45] <HustlersDave> mount: invalid option -- 'e'
[12:46] <fahadsadah> HustlersDave: What's the full line you are typing now?
[12:46] <innomen> i always hated that, extension addons plugins, there needs to be one word
[12:46] <innomen> brb
[12:46] <HustlersDave> sudo mount /dev/sda3 /media/root -o uid=1000 -ext4
[12:46] <fahadsadah> innomen: Extensions and plugins are different things.
[12:46] <ActionParsnip>  sudo mount /dev/sda3 /media/root -t ext4 -o uid=1000
[12:46] <fahadsadah> HustlersDave: -t ext4, not -ext4
[12:46] <HustlersDave> sorry i'll try again
[12:47] <nmvictor> grawity: for me, that directory extensions contains a funny named directory which is empty
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> fahadsadah: itd be nice if it was like that
[12:47] <jpastore> Dr_Willis, I always that you could do export DISPLAY=0 or 1,2 depending on the screen but how should I specify that in the launcher? export DISPLAY=1; application cmd?
[12:47] <phreck> eltese, you should try different flash plugins, if the adobe isnt working for you try going through synaptic and searching for flash, it will give you alternatives.
[12:47] <leaf-sheep> jpastore: The same way you'
[12:47] <leaf-sheep> jpastore: Err, the same command you would use in the terminal.
[12:47] <quarknik> exit
[12:47] <HustlersDave> can i just make something clear here first guys, i'm on LiveCD atm, because i can't boot to Ubuntu or Win7 at all.
[12:48] <HustlersDave> anyways same error as before fahadsadah and ActionParsnip
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> jpastore:  export does it for all following commands..  for one command you dont export
[12:48] <phreck> HustlersDave, what distro?
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> HustlersDave: mount is mount in any distro on CD or HDD or USB
[12:48] <jpastore> Dr_Willis, ahhh ok let me try that afk
[12:48] <phreck> yep
[12:48] <HustlersDave> ubuntu 9.04 64bit and windows 7 on 1 hdd,
[12:48] <jpastore> thanks leaf-sheep for the input...going to give it a shot
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> !mount | HustlersDave
[12:48] <HustlersDave> partition looks like this, win7, linux, storage, swap
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> jpastore:  could write a script that does it :)  bash takes the syntaz 'variable=foo  command' and ONLY that 'command' sees that variable changed..
[12:49] <eltese> phreck: yup. ive done that as well. Im currently running swdec wich works way better but far from otpimal :O)
[12:49] <wWales> ActionParsnip: how does the command look like? i know the local IP of the computer i want to mount from and the name of its winnetwork and its computername
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> jpastore: but i cant seem to get it working right here..   I recall it used to work.. ages ago.
[12:49] <leaf-sheep> jpastore: You'd want to do --> "DISPLAY:0" firefox <-- Something like that
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> jpastore:  also compiz apraently has some way to rember where things are at also.
[12:49] <nmvictor> grawity: is their any where else they could have been?
[12:49] <phreck> eltese, not sure what else you can do, maybe someone else has a suggestion. But your wine problems shouldnt have anything to do with flash, just so you know.
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> DISPLAY=:0.1 xterm
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> xterm Xt error: Can't open display: :0.1
[12:50] <eltese> phreck: ok, thanks :)
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> not sure what the display IS for my 2nd monitor in twinview. i thought it was 0.1
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> wWales: smbmount //winpc/shared /mnt/share -o username=<user>,password=<pass>,rw
[12:50] <jpastore> Dr_Willis, it wouldn't just be display:1?
[12:50] <jpastore> er DISPLAY=1
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> jpastore:  twinview is special. :)
[12:50] <OsamaK_> Is it possible to install gnome 2.27 on ubuntu 9.04? is there any builds?
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> if you were doinbg 2 x SESSIONS yes.. it would be :1
[12:50] <phreck> you can install it  yourself.
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> wWales: that will mount to /mnt/shared   you can change that to where you wanna mount to, the folder must exist
[12:51] <kisuke> grawity trying to decrypt text file does not work
[12:51] <innomen> back
[12:51] <jpastore> Dr_Willis, oh right I don't have my twin view enabled right now on my laptop...my second monitor is in the other office
[12:51] <HustlersDave> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda3, missing codepage or helper program etc etc
[12:51] <laughzilla> hi :)  a couple weeks ago i installed ubuntu 9.04 for the first time on a hard disk that ended up being a bad disk. i just got the new disk and installed ubuntu 9.04 on it again just now. does anyone know what command or package(s) i need to install to set up flash compatibility on youtube, facebook, etc?
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> jpastore:  so it depends.. twinview or not. xinerama or not.. 2 X sessions or not. :)
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> HustlersDave: read the mount documentation, it should help. Ive not used ex4 yet so cant advise from personal experience
[12:52] <wWales> ActionParsnip: it complains of not having any specified ip adress with that command
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> HustlersDave: you may need to run: sudo modprobe ext4
[12:52] <innomen> !flash
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> wWales: then use an ip address
[12:53] <innomen> ubottu knows everything
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> innomen: and some more
[12:53] <innomen> !thepointoflife
[12:53] <craCkpot> laughzilla: when you goto a site with flash (assuming Firefox), it will tell you if you need to install it and then you can install it that way
[12:53] <HustlersDave> FATAL: Module ext4 not found.
[12:54] <innomen> craCkpot, that never works for me, it searchs says cant find and then i have to go download it
[12:54] <laughzilla> hmmm ... yeah i remember there was some part of the command called "restricted" .. it installed a bunch of packages. i'll try it. thanks.  yes crackpot - i ask only b/c it's not installed. the sites i mentioned did ask me to install it.
[12:54] <craCkpot> or if you prefer you can do: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> craCkpot:  that never works for me either. :)
[12:54] <craCkpot> hm, worked for me
[12:54] <innomen> craCkpot, thats the one for me
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> I always use the package manager like a good little ubuntu person
[12:54] <innomen> apt-get
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> HustlersDave: you may need to install a package to get the module you need
[12:54] <HustlersDave> !mount
[12:54] <matuu_> ubuntu bugs when i want to upgrade from live cd, could you tell me why please ?
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> actually i always 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted extras' on a new install.. :)  so i rarely have issues
[12:55] <matuu_> i added a 2.5Go swap to my 1Go of ram
[12:55] <innomen> Dr_Willis, i backed up a bunch of debs that are in the repos and installed them on a diffrent machine, will they update through the repos now? I'm stull learing all this deb repo stuff
[12:55] <paulws02> HustlersDave, try lsmod | grep ext
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> innomen:  since you used the package manager.. yes...
[12:55] <jpastore> Dr_Willis, I would be content with it starting on a screen regardless of which monitor it was.
[12:55] <innomen> Dr_Willis, no i didnt
[12:55] <nicorio> Hi. I just switched to Ubuntu 9.04 (from Windows). I easily setup a dual screen config thanks to the GUI, but I wonder if it is possible to have a second task bar (or extend the existing one) on the second screen ?
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> innomen:  what did you use?
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> jpastore:  that wasent clear to me. :)  what are ya trying to do exactly
[12:56] <innomen> Dr_Willis, how would i use package manager to back up debs? at best its "marks" things but even the file it spits out is 0kb and useless
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> innomen:  you copied the .debs over and used dpkg -i whatever.deb ? or how exaftly?
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> !aptoncd
[12:56] <HustlersDave> the mounting doc page has not helped me with this grub loading error 17 problem at all.... :(
[12:57] <innomen> Dr_Willis, yea, command to copy all to folder move folder dkpg -i *.deb or something
[12:57] <wWales> ActionParsnip: ok now it prompts for a password, the computer im trying to connect to doesnt have any password, and entering my rootpw doesnt do anything :(
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> innomen:  'dpkg -i' is using the package manager. :)
[12:57] <jpastore> Dr_Willis, I meant that sometimes I boot my laptop without a second monitor so controlling which monitor it lands on doesn't matter. I have the cube running with 3 sides. I want soem applications to start on 1 one side some on another side, and so on.
[12:57] <innomen> oh
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> innomen:   synaptic is just a front end to it :)
[12:57] <HustlersDave> anyone keen to help me with this error 17 problem?, ubuntu 64bit, ext4, and windows 7 with a storage partition all in the one hdd
[12:57] <craCkpot> say i was writing a script to zip a specific set of files, how can i add parameters to the script like do: "create_zip 3.4.1" and it would create a zip file named <whatever>-3.4.1.zip?
[12:57] <innomen> Dr_Willis, see this is why you're cool you could totally point and laugh but you dont
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> wWales: you cannot connect to a samba share without a password
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> jpastore:  those are 'virtual desktops' not screens..  totally diffrent thing. :)
[12:57] <grawity> craCkpot: $1, $2, $3... and "$@" for all parameters.
[12:58] <jpastore> Dr_Willis, doesn't matter if they are on the left or right screen...that kind of granular control would be great, but ubunut has a hard enough time dealing with my other monitor sometimes not being there
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> wWales: you must have a password
[12:58] <craCkpot> okay thanks
[12:58] <Dr_Willis> jpastore:  if you are using compiz. it is supposed to have some way to save the 'location' from what i am reading
[12:58] <gaurav> hello every one
[12:58] <jpastore> Dr_Willis, sorry just woke up, you are absolutely correct
[12:58] <innomen> gaurav, Greetings program
[12:58] <wWales> ActionParsnip: but i can connect to it trough nautilus without entering any password anywhere?
[12:58] <innomen> (I'm hyped about tron legacy, sorry)
[12:59] <innomen> !ot | innomen
[12:59] <innomen> heheh
[12:59] <gaurav> i am having problem in connecting the windows system even after installing the samba ,it says that failed to connect the server
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> New movie that i will never go see.. i guess. :)
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> wWales: then ive no idea. I've always known it must have a password. You could create an extra account just for accessing shares with a password
[12:59] <innomen> Dr_Willis, why?
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> innomen:  last movie i saw in theaters was ToyStory 1 :)
[12:59] <innomen> Dr_Willis, district nine was the first in like 3 years for me
[12:59] <jpastore> Dr_Willis, the most I can find is in the "startup applicaitons" remember running applications when logging out.
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> gaurav:  often i have to give the 'full' path to the windows box/share for it to get seen teh first time.
[13:00] <jpastore> let me give that a shot
[13:00] <innomen> Dr_Willis, totally worthit, and trin will be in imax 3d, again totally worth it i'm sure
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> jpastore:   I dont use compiz much. but thats what a trhead i jsut read said. 'startup applications' is just for launching.. not rembering..
[13:00] <innomen> i worked at the movies i hate the movies, but there are extenuating circumstances, 4 minutes left of download *squee*
[13:01] <fahadsadah> Why can't a box wired into the network send multicast packets to wireless boxes?
[13:02] <gaurav> dear dr_willis tried that even not able to connect
[13:02] <gaurav> any other way to see access my windows network
[13:03] <kisuke> fahadsadah your router probly "sees" t6hem as two seperate networks that share the same network connection
[13:03] <mimor> how can I have multiple notification-baloons, in stead of 1 at a time?
[13:07] <linuxson25> is it possible to set my external hdd to mount in my shared samba network folder?
[13:07] <nicorio> I saw that the dual-desktop mode is deprecated, but how can I configure something that would enable me to have one desktop on each screen ?
[13:08] <linuxson25> So whenever I plug it in, it is accesible from network
[13:08] <linuxson25> ?
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> linuxson25:  the issue will be the  hot plugging part.
[13:09] <wWales> ActionParsnip: yay it worked, now i just wished i didnt mount a folder with 1397019573059 subfolders onto the desktop :/
[13:10] <gaurav> is there any idea about the firefox 3.5 installation
[13:11] <neosisani> how can i check which version is ubuntu?
[13:11] <gaurav> neosisani:  go to help
[13:11] <gaurav> u will find it
[13:12] <neosisani> gaurav, i'm sshing to it from home. uname -a doesn't show, is there some file in /proc or /etc to look for?
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> !lsb
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> lsb_release -a  neosisani
[13:12] <neosisani> thanks Dr_Willis
[13:13] <gaurav> thanks dr_willis
[13:13] <gaurav> hey anyone having any idea about  the firefox update 3.5 ? is it working fine and how to upgarde the current version
[13:14] <craCkpot> !FF35
[13:14] <HustlersDave> Dr_Willis where should i install grub on??
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> HustlersDave:  i alwyas put it on the MBR of my main boot disk
[13:14] <HustlersDave> my linux partition is in sda3, sda2 is windows 7, storage partition is in sda4/5
[13:14] <HustlersDave> the mbr would be wat partition do u reckon? sda1? sda?
[13:15] <craCkpot> its always the first partition
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> sda is the disk :)
[13:15] <matuu_> please why does it crash when i want to upgrade from livecd ?
[13:15] <k3ops> sda disk
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> not sda1
[13:15] <matuu_> /var/cache/apt/archives/ubuntu-docs_9.04.10_all.deb
[13:15] <matuu_> E: Sub-proces /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[13:15] <HustlersDave> craCkpot so if it the first partition is it /sda or sda/1
[13:15] <craCkpot> should be /dev/sda1 i would imagine
[13:15] <wWales> how do i umount a smb share?
[13:15] <est> What is a good backup solution for ubuntu on a 360 GiB USB drive?
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> install to the mbr of the DRIVE..  /dev/sda  not /dev/sda1  is the normal place
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> sda1 also has its own boot record. :)
[13:15] <craCkpot> ^^ yeah he's right
[13:15] <craCkpot> my bad
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> 'Grub-Fu!'
[13:16] <HustlersDave> nothing happens.... wtf
[13:16] <HustlersDave> start from scratch?
[13:16] <gaurav>  hey anyone having any idea about  the firefox update 3.5 ? is it working fine and how to upgarde the current version
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> HustlersDave:  we are not sitting there looking over your shoulder. *yet* , so we dotn know what you just did. :)
[13:16] <HustlersDave> when i tried to install on sda3 before it said cannot open 1/boot/grib/device.map
[13:17] <craCkpot> !FF35 | gaurav
[13:17] <k3ops> est
[13:17] <kisuke> grawity thanks for getting me into terminal
[13:17] <craCkpot> yay i remembered the command from when i had FF35 questions
[13:17] <k3ops> tar cvpjf backup.tar.bz2 --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tar.bz2 --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys /
[13:17] <kisuke> how do you report a missing dependency?
[13:17] <craCkpot> ok, hustlersdave, so when you try to boot grub reports error 17?
[13:18] <craCkpot> and you're dual-booting windows7 and ubuntu?
[13:18] <craCkpot> (or trying to, at least)
[13:18] <jezi22> guys how what is the IDE for delphi in ubuntu?
[13:18] <TonyTheTiger> what does "dist-upgrade" do?
[13:19] <wWales> thanks for all help ive got trough this channel! keep up the good work guys (bye for now)
[13:19] <IdleOne> kisuke: what are you missing?
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> jezi22:  that was a big deal/hyped a few years back.. then sort of vanished off the radar. Im not even sure it still works/exists
[13:19] <iamFIREcracker> i'm having some troubles trying to reproduce indeo5 videos; i followeds few links, installed pitfdll and w32codecs but i can't play them using gstreamer, only mplayer seems to work
[13:19] <iamFIREcracker> do i miss something to configure?
[13:20] <kisuke> was missing gpg-agent installed through synaptic
[13:20] <jezi22> >__<
[13:20] <Dr_Willis> jezi22:  i was thinking it was called kylix ? i forget.. :)
[13:20] <kisuke> engmail gave error that it was not running
[13:21] <HustlersDave> grub-probe: error: cannot open ` /boot/grub/device.map' [: 494: =: unexpected operator
[13:21] <jezi22> yeah.. it is kylix, and i am searching for it..
[13:21] <HustlersDave> thats the error i get when trying to install grub to sda Dr_Willis and craCkpot
[13:21] <TonyTheTiger> what does "dist-upgrade" do?
[13:21] <grawity> kisuke: it wasn't actually missing, I think -- by default Ubuntu comes with "seahorse-agent", which does the same, but is more integrated with the system.
[13:21] <Gnea> TonyTheTiger: it upgrades everything
[13:21] <grawity> Gnea: Not really  everything
[13:21] <methhead> #help
[13:21] <Gnea> grawity: everything that's upgradable
[13:21] <kisuke> seahorse showes my keys
[13:22] <IdleOne> TonyTheTiger: dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade,
[13:22] <IdleOne>            also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions
[13:22] <IdleOne>            of packages; apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system, and
[13:22] <IdleOne>            it will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the
[13:22] <IdleOne>            expense of less important ones if necessary. So, dist-upgrade
[13:22] <FloodBot3> IdleOne: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:22] <IdleOne>            command may remove some packages.
[13:22] <kisuke> but engmail called gpg-agent
[13:22] <gaurav> when i try to get the etc folder i am not able to modify it due to root user permission denied ... how can i resolve this
[13:22] <Dr_Willis> HustlersDave:  normally the restore grub guides mention mounting the isntalled system and 'chrooting' into the isntalled system.. sounds like you dident chroot over.. or dident mount /boot/ properly
[13:22] <grawity> kisuke: enigmail is supposed to call whatever is running.
[13:22] <Myrtti> IdleOne: you really should've known better
[13:22] <IdleOne> Myrtti: yes you right but it was two lines of text in my terminal
[13:22] <grawity> kisuke: and for me, seahorse-agent works fine :\
[13:23] <kisuke> works for me just not with mail
[13:23] <Gnea> IdleOne: manpages can be found via google
[13:23] <HustlersDave> hhmm but im pretty sure i mounted my linux properly because it even said mountL /dev/sda3 already mounted or /media/root busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda3 is already mounted on /media/root
[13:23] <craCkpot> in my experiences with dual-booting vista (windows7 uses the same bootloader, i think) and ubuntu, i had to install grub on my linux partition then use vista's bootloader to chainload grub
[13:23] <IdleOne> I am sorry Gnea and Myrtti. wont happen again
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> note its looking for /boot/grub/  is there a /boot/grub/device.map ? try ls -l /boot/grub/device.map ...
[13:24] <scorpionica> can somebody help with getting my wireless internet up and running?
[13:24] <HustlersDave> craCkpot does that mean i install grub on sda3 not sda(which i cant even see using fdisk -l)
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> HustlersDave: note its looking for /boot/grub/  is there a /boot/grub/device.map ? try ls -l /boot/grub/device.map ...
[13:24] <HustlersDave> sec ill give that a try
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> HustlersDave:  what command are you using exactly trying to isntall grub?
[13:24] <kisuke> btw is there any support for s/mime (i.e. pkcs#12)?
[13:24] <JohannesSM64> every time i reboot, any changes i've made to the clock resets. how do i stop it?!
[13:24] <IdleOne> TonyTheTiger: man apt-get and scroll down some
[13:25] <HustlersDave> no such file or directory
[13:25] <scorpionica> help
[13:25] <solenopsis> Hello. After first installing Ubuntu (9.04) there was an option to scan wireless networks available on the taskbar. I removed the option from the taskbar, but would now like to get it back. Can anyone tell me the name of the program that does the scanning?
[13:25] <Gnea> !ask | scorpionica
[13:25] <scorpionica> ok
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> HustlersDave:  right.. Normally teh docuemts on restoreing grub either have you chroot INTO the mounted installed system.. or use some command options that tell  it where to find the  proper /boot/ files
[13:26] <HustlersDave> sudo grub-install root-directory=/media/root /dev/sda
[13:26] <HustlersDave> Dr_Willis i can't see the chroot part from the documents im reading off the ubuntu site
[13:26] <scorpionica> ubuntu wireless help needed please
[13:26] <craCkpot> dave: when i installed ubuntu i had grub installed in /dev/sdb1 (2nd hard drive, 1st partition, aka where linux is actually installed) then i use vista's bootloader to chainload Grub via EasyBCD
[13:26] <HustlersDave> thanks craCkpot i might have no choice but to try that
[13:26] <craCkpot> yeah i kept getting error 17 like you were saying
[13:27] <HustlersDave> Dr_Willis i have read that chroot part somewhere, do u have a doc page for me to read?
[13:27] <JohannesSM64> the time here is 14:26, not 6:26. every time i change it, and reboot, it resets to 6:26 again. i'm using 9.04, installed 3 days ago.
[13:27] <JohannesSM64> does no one know how to fix it?
[13:27] <HustlersDave> JohannesSM64 im gonna work on that once i fix this grub problem LOL
[13:27] <grawity> JohannesSM64: Fix the timezone.
[13:27] <craCkpot> so i gave up and just decided to use vista's bootloader, and the dualboot working beautifully
[13:27] <grawity> JohannesSM64: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata'
[13:28] <scorpionica> can anyone help with getting my wireless internet working on my laptop????
[13:28] <JohannesSM64> the time zone is set to Norway(GMT+1/GMT+2), which is correct
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> HustlersDave:   theres other ways.. -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows    says -->   sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/root /dev/sda --recheck
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> HustlersDave:  note the use of the --root-directory to tell it where to find the proper files. :)
[13:29] <mckinnon81> hey has anyone got Ubuntu 9.04 wine and WoW working on a ATI HD4870 at all?
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> that should be working.. UNless you have no  /media/root/boot/whatever file....
[13:29] <JohannesSM64> okay, rebooting one last time
[13:29] <TonyTheTiger> IdleOne, Hey do you remember you was helping me yesterday?
[13:29] <scorpionica> can you help with wirless problems?
[13:29] <IdleOne> TonyTheTiger: yes
[13:29] <TonyTheTiger> You said to hold out on re-installing, you was right man, got the problem fixed and am so happy now. thanks IdleOne
[13:30] <apoleo12> dr_willis: ya know what my case about grub is uqinue because i have two OS'es on a seperate HDD which is why grub is so lost at booting one of the os
[13:30] <IdleOne> TonyTheTiger: no problem I am glad to hear it, so what did it turn out to be?
[13:30] <HustlersDave> Dr_Willis by --root-directory what does that mean
[13:30] <HustlersDave> as in --root/media/grub?
[13:30] <HustlersDave> im confused by that part
[13:30] <TonyTheTiger> IdleOne, it turned out when I was setting up the proxies i had edited a bunch of files which wouldnt revert unless I manually edit them.
[13:30] <Dr_Willis> HustlersDave:  it wants --root-dirctory /path/where/you/mounted/your/system
[13:30] <HustlersDave> the recheck didnt work btw, argh so frustrating
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> HustlersDave:  the --root-directroy is a 'option'  flag. and the path is the argument for the option. :)
[13:31] <HustlersDave> my linux is mounted on sda3, can u give me a line so i can just copy and paste
[13:31] <IdleOne> TonyTheTiger: well I'm glad you got it sorted.
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> HustlersDave:  and where is sda3 mounted at ? what does 'mount' say?
[13:31] <scorpionica> HELLO YALL, CAN ONE OF YOU BRAINY CHAPS GIVE US A HELPING HAND WITH MY WIRELESS PROBLEMS PLEASE???
[13:32] <HustlersDave> u mean fdisk -l???
[13:32] <craCkpot> scorpionica: you're better off just asking the question
[13:32] <phreck> scorpionica, say it man.
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> HustlersDave:  no.. i mean the 'mount' command....
[13:32] <strange> hey guys is there a way to check all the stuff i have isntalled using "apt-get" so i can make a "apt-get install" line after i reinstall that installs all the packages that i have right now
[13:32] <strange> ?
[13:33] <Dr_Willis> !clone | strange
[13:33] <HustlersDave> i said mount /dev/sda3 /media/root
[13:33] <JohannesSM64> once again, the time reset
[13:33] <strange> thank you
[13:33] <scorpionica> I HAVE A MEDION E6210 LAPTOP WITH UBUNTU INSTALLED AND HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO GET THE WIRELESS INTERNET ON THE GO YET IT WORKED PERFECT WITH WINDOWS, HELP NEEDED
[13:33] <JohannesSM64> the time zone setting is still correct
[13:33] <Dr_Willis> HustlersDave:  now look in /media/root and see if theres a /media/root/boot/grub directory with files in it...
[13:34] <strange> !automate
[13:34] <solenopsis> Found it: Network Manager Applet
[13:34] <JohannesSM64> could it be because i'm running ubuntu in a vm?
[13:34] <HustlersDave> ok this might seem silly but when i goto computer, do i goto 21.3media (i think is my linux partition), 108.8(win 7,im guessn not this 1) or file system
[13:34] <craCkpot> dave: have you tried just running: "grub-install /dev/sda" (assuming /dev/sda is where you want it to install)
[13:34] <ban> how do i make icons for firefox
[13:34] <TonyTheTiger> does ubuntu not support graphics tablets?
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> HustlersDave:  use the command line...  'ls -l /media/root/boot/grub'    or try that path in the file manager..
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> HustlersDave:  ignore the funny names the desktop gives them.. use /media/whatever to see whats where.
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[13:35] <scorpionica> WHY IS UBUNTU SO FREAKING FREAKY
[13:36] <Netu> It's funny that you ask :)
[13:36] <ikonia> scorpionica: please clam down - this is a support channel
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> scorpionica: define freaky?
[13:36] <craCkpot> or: grub-install '(hd0)'
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> scorpionica:   you realize that most everyone is ignoreing you because of the UPPER CASE stuff.
[13:36] <craCkpot> that should install grub to the first BIOS listed drive
[13:36] <HustlersDave> Dr_Willis i typed that in nautilus and it said it cant handle those file paths
[13:36]  * Dr_Willis is still wondering at the logic that 'it worked in windows - it should work in linux'
[13:36] <craCkpot> 's MBR that is
[13:36] <ct529> scorpionica: what is the problem?
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> HustlersDave:  use the file manager go to /media
[13:37] <HustlersDave> craCkpot Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
[13:37] <est> souds like a disk error
[13:37] <HustlersDave> sorry, what is a file manager, im thinking differently here
[13:37] <craCkpot> k then you would do: grub --root-directory=/media/root/boot '(hd0)'
[13:37] <scorpionica> i appologise,but i am so frustrated with my wireless problems
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> HustlersDave:  the thing you manage files in... ya clck on home, or whatever icon and see all the files.....
[13:38] <est> There is a backup boot, if you installed one
[13:38] <HustlersDave> far out i feel noob, anyways ok i can see desktop, documents, music etc etc
[13:38] <Dr_Willis> HustlersDave:  or perhaps its time you spend an hr  learning some shell basics and how the paths in linux work.
[13:38] <HustlersDave> under places, there is ubuntu,desktop,file system,network, etc etc
[13:38] <Dr_Willis> HustlersDave:  its very likely you maed some basic trivial mistake.. but finding that mistake is going to be  a little harrd.
[13:38] <scorpionica> ct529 hi, i cant get my medion akoya e6210 laptop online with wireless card
[13:39] <HustlersDave> goto file system??
[13:39] <craCkpot> yes
[13:39] <HustlersDave> then boot or media
[13:39] <craCkpot> media
[13:39] <HustlersDave> disk, disk-1,disk-2,root
[13:39] <craCkpot> k
[13:39] <Dr_Willis> HustlersDave:  You have a seperate BOOT partition? ?
[13:39] <Dr_Willis> if so that may be the whole issue.
[13:39] <HustlersDave> i dont remember creating a boot partition
[13:40] <laughzilla> thanks again :)  the Restricted-extras is what i was looking for.  :)  cheers!
[13:40] <craCkpot> save: how are you partitions setup?
[13:40] <craCkpot> dave*
[13:40] <HustlersDave> i had something small due to windows, then win7, then linux, then storage, then swap
[13:40] <kisuke> thanks all
[13:40] <ct529> scorpionica: is the card switched on?
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> scorpionica: can you please provide the output of: sudo lshw -C network
[13:41] <craCkpot> if you want to install grub to the MBR then you don't need to specify a --root-directory, that's only when you want to install it elsewhere
[13:41] <scorpionica> ct529 i think its a ralink 2860 and is built inside the machine, it worked fine with windows, i think i need a driver for it first but am confused with all the different info
[13:41] <HustlersDave> ok lets say i want to install grub to MBR, wats the command?
[13:41] <cc4> hi
[13:41] <HustlersDave> anything i just want to boot arghhh
[13:41] <cc4> how can I create a folder in ubuntu?
[13:41] <Dr_Willis> craCkpot:  hes on a live cd.. so he needsd to tell it where to find the files.. (i think)
[13:41] <craCkpot> oh
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> cc4: mkdir <name>
[13:42] <cc4> by gui??
[13:42] <cc4> file manager for example?
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> cc4: file -> new -> folder
[13:42] <HustlersDave> correct Dr_Willis, since i cant boot onto ubuntu or win7, only livecd
[13:42] <craCkpot> the command is: grub-install '(hd0)'
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> HustlersDave:  you have been using the command.. but i think you got your install either mounted to the wrong place. or  some other typo/bug going on.
[13:42] <ct529> (sorry for the silly question but I spent 1.5 hours helping someone with the same problem, then the card was simply switched off). Did you press any button to switch the card on anywhere?
[13:42] <cc4> sais I have no permission
[13:42] <cc4> do I have to be logged as root?
[13:42] <HustlersDave> i will try that craCkpot and get u the error if there is 1
[13:42] <DaZ> cc4, sudo.
[13:42] <craCkpot> k
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> cc4: if the folder you are making the folder in isnt yours you willneed to run: gksudo nautilus
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> HustlersDave:   use the command 'nautilus /media/root' and see what files are there perhaps.
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> cc4: or you can easily use: sudo mkdir
[13:42] <HustlersDave> this is straight out grub-install '(hd0)' after opening a terminal yes
[13:43] <craCkpot> yep
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> cc4: whch is much more secure and easier
[13:43] <cc4> nautilus? is that an app?
[13:43] <craCkpot> not sure if sudo is required
[13:43] <linuxson25> Hi everyone
[13:43] <Dr_Willis> !nautilus
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> cc4: yes its the default file browser in ubuntu
[13:43] <Dr_Willis> cc4:  thats teh file manager
[13:43] <cc4> I think thats what I am using
[13:43] <HustlersDave> Dr_Willis i see boot and media and root
[13:43] <scorpionica> i can dual boot into vista or ubuntu and it was switched on in widows and i havent switched anything off
[13:43] <Dr_Willis> cc4:  if you are using gnome.. then yes it is...
[13:43] <HustlersDave> which 1 would u want me to goto
[13:43] <linuxson25> Just finished setting up  my shared folder across our windows network
[13:43] <cc4> yes
[13:43] <cc4> doesn't let me create a folder
[13:43] <Dr_Willis> HustlersDave:  now look in 'root'  and look for grub...
[13:43] <cc4> so I have to login as root?
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: users can install other file managers ;)
[13:44] <cc4> do
[13:44] <HustlersDave> you do not have permissions to view the contents
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> cc4: no, you NEVER log in as root
[13:44] <HustlersDave> thats the error
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> HustlersDave:  we are now looking in the /media/root/grub directroy get it? :)
[13:44] <linuxson25> I also binded my external drive to my /samba shared directory
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> cc4: you run: gksudo nautilus
[13:44] <cc4> sec
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  if the guy is asking what it even is... i doubt if he installed any others.. :)
[13:44] <HustlersDave> yes except i cant look because i dont have permissions Dr_Willis :(
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> cc4: you can then do anything you wish
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: true ;)
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> HustlersDave:  this is when it pays to know the terminal.
[13:44] <ct529> can you please run sudo lshw -C network?
[13:45] <linuxson25> Everything worked fine, but just after I unmounted the drive and unplugged it, the WindowsXP machines cant access that networked drive anymore
[13:45] <craCkpot> what error does it report when running the command i said, dave?
[13:45] <cc4> worked. thanks a bunch ActionParsnip
[13:45] <linuxson25> Anyone maybe know why?
[13:45] <JohannesSM64> thanks for the sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata, grawity
[13:45] <ct529> scorpionica: can you please run sudo lshw -C network?
[13:45] <linuxson25> Oh, yeah...sorry. I plugged it back in
[13:45] <HustlersDave> i tried the nautilus way first craCkpot sorry give me a sec
[13:45] <linuxson25> lol
[13:45] <ActionParsnip> cc4: forget root, never use it, dont even think about it and your system will be ok
[13:45] <craCkpot> if you just want to install grub to the mbr then you don't need all that stuff you're doing
[13:45] <DaZ> ActionParsnip++
[13:45] <craCkpot> telling it hd0 will have it install itself to the MBR of the first BIOS listed HDD
[13:45]  * Dr_Willis hands it over to craCkpot  - its almost bed time for me.
[13:46] <linuxson25> After plugging it back in, on the WindowsXP machines, it gives an I/O error when trying to connect to the mapped network drive
[13:46] <HustlersDave> Could not find device for /;boot: Not found or not a block device
[13:46] <craCkpot> ill brb dave, i'm going to go smoke.
[13:46] <HustlersDave> thats the error...

[13:51] <arand> sipior: yes, but it's happened to me twice, both on 9.04 & 9.10, and it would be quite a serious bug, although I can figure out how it happened...
[13:51] <cc4> is ntfs to ext3 copy paste slow in general?

[13:56] <darklight84> checking for LIBGNOME... configure: error: Package requirements (libgnome-2.0 >= 2.0.0) were not met
[13:56] <darklight84> can anyone help me?
[13:57] <ct529> scorpionica: I suppose you have already searched http://www.linux-laptop.com/, and http://www.tuxmobile.org/. Did you?

[14:02] <ct529> scorpionica: for example to the page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/MedionMD96420?highlight=(ralink)|(2860)
[14:02] <ct529> scorpionica: :(
[14:03] <scorpionica> ok man, thanx
[14:05] <Stormx2`> darklight84: I can only assume it's asking for xscreensaver
[14:05] <darklight84> Stormx2`: update. I solved it. thanks. needed libxss-dev for that
[14:05] <darklight84> now running make
[14:06] <Stormx2`> darklight84, if you want the package to be managed under apt, have a look at checkinstall
[14:06] <Stormx2`> !checkinstall | darklight84
[14:07] <darklight84> thanks!
[14:07] <skysong> hello, anyone's using downthemall with firefox?
[14:07] <Pusur> I have a problem. Every time I shut down the computer, it says that there is a program called "unknown" running, and asks if I want to shut it down. Does anyone know what this could be?
[14:09] <DawnLight> hello. can i use double ampersands in cron commands?
[14:09] <adaptr> if you want to sequence those commands, yes, of course
[14:09] <adaptr> but just write a script
[14:12] <mnaines> I got a question...When a device (such as a computer) reports a specific wattage or amperage of power demand, is that how much it is using per hour or per minute?
[14:12] <DawnLight> ok adaptr i will
[14:12] <darklight84> Stormx2`: thanks again, it worked like a charm. :) bye
[14:12] <adaptr> mnaines: it is what it is using per second
[14:12] <nomopofomo> does anyone here speak french?
[14:13] <bazhang> nomopofomo, in #ubuntu-fr
[14:13] <mnaines> adaptr: So if the laptop's charger says it needs 1.5A at 110V, that's how much it needs per second?
[14:13] <skysong> anybody can help with my firefox problem?:(
[14:13] <adaptr> mnaines: no, that's how much it needs
[14:14] <petriel_> hi im new to ubuntu. i miss some functionality under MC. alt-a for full path and alt-enter for current filename. is it possible to make them working?
[14:14] <adaptr> mnaines: power and current are not time-based units
[14:15] <adaptr> petriel_: that's due to your terminal emulator, not mc
[14:15] <Stormx2`> mnaines: Power is energy per unit time. You can think of power as mph, rather than m.
[14:15] <mnaines> adaptr: Basically my question is, when I am charging the laptop, for example, and the laptop's charger says the input requirements are 110V @ 1.5A, is that how much it uses per second or per hour?
[14:15] <linuxson25> Hi everyone
[14:15] <adaptr> mnaines: neither, as has been explained twice now
[14:16] <linuxson25> Got disconnected there for a sec
[14:16] <adaptr> mnaines: it is what it requires AT ANY TIME
[14:16] <Stormx2`> mnaines, you don't "use" 100V @ 1.5A. What are you talking about? :/
[14:16] <coldReactive42> Does anyone know if the patch located here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/110784 will be included in Ubuntu 9.10?
[14:16] <Psychosilo> Hello ^^
[14:16] <linuxson25> Got an issue with a mounted external drive which I bound to my /samba shared folder
[14:16] <mnaines> Stormx2`: I am trying to figure out how long a portable battery pack will last if I use it to charge my laptop...The battery pack is rated for 450A
[14:16] <coldReactive42> Does anyone know if the patch located here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/110784 will be included in Ubuntu 9.10?
[14:16] <linuxson25> Set up my samba shares to WindowsXP networked pcs
[14:16] <adaptr> mnaines: no, it is not
[14:17] <adaptr> mnaines: you need to read better
[14:17] <petriel_> adaptr, i was using (under fedora) xterm and now im using xterm (under ubuntu too)
[14:17] <innomen> enabed desktop cube in compiz manager but i dont know how to use it, like i think my "cube" only has one side how do i change that?
[14:17] <linuxson25> Did a mount --bind move on my Ext HDD so that it would be accessible on the networked pcs when mounted
[14:18] <linuxson25> Only problem is, as soon as I unmounted and re-mounted it again, the mapped network drives on the other pcs became inaccessible
[14:18] <mnaines> adaptr: That's the thing...I need to know how long a 450A battery will last when I charge my laptop
[14:18] <linuxson25> Now I can even browse the empty MyFiles shared folder
[14:18] <Stormx2`> mnaines, there's no such thing as 450A battery
[14:18] <adaptr> mnaines: there is no such thing as a "450A battery"
[14:19] <linuxson25> When clicking on the mapped network drive (Z:) it says something in the lines of I/O error
[14:19] <bazhang> innomen, open ccsm and under general look for horizontal virtual desktops; set to 4; check keybindings on how to activate
[14:19] <IdleOne> !compiz > innomen
[14:19] <mnaines> Stormx2`: I use one of those battery booster packs, which is basically a 12V car battery in a plastic box with jumper cables attached
[14:19] <adaptr> mnaines: guess how much nobody cares
[14:19] <mnaines> Stormx2`: This one is rated for 12V @ 450A
[14:19] <innomen> bazhang, IdleOne thanks guys :)
[14:19] <phreck> how much how much i wanna know
[14:19] <adaptr> mnaines: a battery has a charge, expressed in Wh or Ah, not W or A
[14:19] <linuxson25> Got an issue with a mounted external drive which I bound to my /samba shared folder
[14:20] <Stormx2`> mnaines, it's impossible to tell anyway as your computer uses different levels of power depending on usage.
[14:20] <linuxson25> Set up my samba shares to WindowsXP networked pcs
[14:20] <linuxson25> Did a mount --bind move on my Ext HDD so that it would be accessible on the networked pcs when mounted
[14:20] <Stormx2`> mnaines, the only way you'll tell is by plugging in the battery and using your computer.
[14:20] <linuxson25> Only problem is, as soon as I unmounted and re-mounted it again, the mapped network drives on the other pcs became inaccessible
[14:20] <linuxson25> Now I can even browse the empty MyFiles shared folder
[14:20] <linuxson25> When clicking on the mapped network drive (Z:) it says something in the lines of I/O error
[14:20] <adaptr> linuxson25: stop repeating the same "question" over and over
[14:20] <mnaines> Stormx2`: Is there a Linux app I can use to determine how much power the computer is using at any given time?
[14:20] <Stormx2`> mnaines: I don't think your PSU will record that sort of thing.
[14:20] <adaptr> mnaines: this is typically not reported to anything inside the system, so no
[14:21] <linuxson25> adaptr: Sorry. Not sure everyone got it the first time around
[14:21] <Stormx2`> mnaines, you're doing this completely arse-about-face. Just use the battery and see how long it lasts.
[14:21] <adaptr> linuxson25: don't care
[14:21] <linuxson25> adapt: Well, then dont reply
[14:21] <adaptr> linuxson25: you're flooding the channel
[14:21] <adaptr> don't do that
[14:21] <llutz> !patience | linuxson25
[14:21] <IdleOne> adaptr: I understand your frustration but please try to be polite
[14:22] <adaptr> IdleOne: let him
[14:22] <innomen> bazhang, ok i told if 4 desktops but i cant see how to rotate, i dont see a keybindings area
[14:22] <IdleOne> linuxson25: repeat your question every 10 to 15 minutes or so. when and if someone can help they will
[14:22] <linuxson25> adaptr: Thanx a lot for the friendly support dude. Hope you have a nice day now :)
[14:23] <linuxson25> IdleOne: Will keep that in mind. Thanx
[14:23] <IdleOne> thank you
[14:23] <adaptr> linuxson25: the flooding means that I neither desire to offer support nor am very likely to manage to give any, because of all the flooding
[14:23] <adaptr> I don't see what friendly has to do with it
[14:23] <Stormx2`> linuxson25: If can't find help here, check #samba, and ubuntuforums.org. Someone may be able to help you there :)
[14:24] <linuxson25> Geez....sure are a friendly bunch today
[14:24] <IdleOne> adaptr: there is no need to be rude about it, you ask him nicely to not repeat and move on.
[14:24] <adaptr> IdleOne: true, but that's what I did the very first time
[14:24] <innomen> linuxson25, its the day crowd, the vets in here that are also on at night are much more laid back
[14:24] <Stormx2`> :( I was being friendly.
[14:24] <IdleOne> adaptr: :)
[14:24] <adaptr> innomen: too late!
[14:24] <amortvigil> hello
[14:24] <NauTiluS> hi
[14:24] <craCkpot> after doing sudo -i, how can i back to my normal user mode without having to open a new terminal?
[14:24] <Stormx2`> craCkpot: exit
[14:24] <adaptr> craCkpot: exit ?
[14:24] <amortvigil> is there an ubuntu mac channle?
[14:25] <craCkpot> k
[14:25] <innomen> adaptr, so it was, sigh
[14:25] <innomen> so adaptr, you know how to make the cube roatate huh do ya huh huh?
[14:25] <innomen> :)
[14:25] <adaptr> of course I do
[14:25]  * adaptr twirls the cube on his finger
[14:26] <innomen> adaptr, you dont know where that things been
[14:26] <gaurav> can anyone help me out in installing the usplash themes
[14:26] <gaurav> is there any easy way
[14:26] <adaptr> first, you need at least 3 - preferably 4 - horizontal screens
[14:26] <adaptr> then you need to enable the cube
[14:26] <IdleOne> !splash > gaurav
[14:26] <adaptr> then hit ctrl+alt and drag with yer mouse
[14:27] <innomen> adaptr, hmm i think i have all that met, no dice
[14:27] <adaptr> is compix enabled at all ?
[14:27] <g8tor> hello all I'm trying to follow http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html#ovf to export my winxp virtual machine but I don't see the "Export Appliance" option in the file menu. How can I export my vm to another pc? I'm using VirtualBox OSE if that matters
[14:27] <adaptr> g8tor: the OSE sucks - get it from sun direct
[14:28] <innomen> adaprt, i believe so, i have a wobbly window
[14:28] <g8tor> adaptr:  crap is that going to be a problem?
[14:28] <adaptr> innomen: then make sure moving and scaling and showing desktops is also enabled - you can do some very funky and counter-intuitive things with compiz
[14:28] <g8tor> adaptr: changing from OSE to the one straight from sun?
[14:29] <innomen> oky one moment
[14:29] <adaptr> g8tor: dunno, never tried the OSE once I read that it wasn't as good as the closed Sun one
[14:29] <Stormx2`> g8tor: AFAIK the OSE only differs in its lack of USB support.
[14:29] <adaptr> innomen: such as prohibit yourself from using yor computer completely :)
[14:29] <Newbuntu2> hello!
[14:29] <Newbuntu2> I'm having a little problem with a hard drive... won't boot and gave me lots of errors when booting from the live cd. Any ideas on how to try and diagnose it/get some data off it? I just need a small text file, everything can be trashed
[14:30] <innomen> adaptr, well thats useful :P
[14:30] <adaptr> I didn't say useful - I said counter-intuitive
[14:30] <g8tor> Stormx2`: do you know how I can move my vm to the closed version? or to a second ubuntu machine easily?
[14:30] <adaptr> Newbuntu2: the hard drive gave you errors while booting from a CD ?
[14:30] <Newbuntu2> yes
[14:30] <Stormx2`> g8tor: I'm 99% sure you can just install the non-OSE version and it'll be fine.
[14:30] <adaptr> g8tor: the vms should be identical
[14:31] <g8tor> cool thanks guys will try that
[14:31] <scorpionica_> ct529 are you still on mate
[14:31] <Newbuntu2> I'ts an old PATA drive
[14:32] <adaptr> Newbuntu2: start by running badblocks from the livecd
[14:32] <Stormx2`> Newbuntu2, Could you write down the error you're receiving for us? it's hard to diagnose otherwise
[14:32] <Newbuntu2> yep, looking for the log
[14:33] <jezi22> guys my firefox crashes and says Segmentation Fault then i tried ubuntuzilla after i ran the script my mozilla doesn't have any panels now...
[14:34] <jezi22> i cannot use back,forward and the bookmarks..
[14:35] <Newbuntu2> where do I find the boot up errors?
[14:35] <bazhang> jezi22, this is FF3.5? any reason not to install it from repos?
[14:36] <Newbuntu2> using grep sda on my dmesg I get:
[14:36] <jezi22> it is still 3.0....
[14:36] <Newbuntu2> buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 0
[14:36] <Newbuntu2> actually, 0 through 7
[14:36] <bazhang> jezi22, what version of Ubuntu
[14:36] <jezi22> 9.04
[14:37] <jezi22> i think ubuntuzilla tried to upgrade my firefox to 3.5
[14:37] <jezi22> >__<
[14:37] <bazhang> jezi22, there is no need for ubuntuzilla, FF3.5 is in Ubuntu repositories
[14:37] <Newbuntu2> also get 'end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 0'  as well as 4, etc
[14:38] <jezi22> the problem is my firefox now is broken...
[14:38] <jezi22> wait..
[14:39] <jezi22> ill try..
[14:39] <phreck> so remove it
[14:39] <phreck> and reinstall it.
[14:39] <Newbuntu2> any ideas?
[14:39] <jezi22> how can i upgrade my firefox to 3.5?
[14:39] <Newbuntu2> is there a way to force mount it? I just want to get a file off it
[14:39] <dsdeiz> hello, what application is responsible for "Configuring network interfaces..."?
[14:40] <innomen> ok vertical and horizontal windows set to 4, rotate cube and desktop cube enabled, i can right click on a windows and send to to anothe desktop but i can not switch to it or rotate the cube
[14:40] <bazhang> jezi22, you dont upgrade it; you install FF3.5 alongside 3.0
[14:40] <jezi22> i got it guys.. tahnks..
[14:40] <jezi22> XD
[14:40] <IdleOne> jezi22: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5
[14:40] <dsdeiz> it's in the repo now?
[14:40] <jezi22> i got it.. stupid me... XD
[14:40] <bazhang> dsdeiz, yes
[14:40] <jezi22> thanks guys.. sorry for being a noob..
[14:41] <bazhang> jezi22, you had no way of knowing
[14:41] <jezi22> i googled but i failed..
[14:41] <jezi22> :D
[14:41] <llutz> dsdeiz:  /etc/init.d/networking
[14:41] <haf1ztang> guys
[14:42] <phreck> jezi22, can you use the package manager?
[14:42] <haf1ztang> someone could help me with my wireless?
[14:42] <Explodus_> I'm having an issue when GDM starts from inital boot my system dead locks - can't control+alt+backspace - can't switch to TTY - only thing it resopnds to is RSEIUB - more info http://paste.ubuntu.com/258679/
[14:42] <dsdeiz> llutz: may i ask how to disable it on startup?
[14:42] <dsdeiz> do i chmod -x it?
[14:42] <llutz> dsdeiz:  add "exit 0" in 2nd line but i doubt you really wnat to disable it....
[14:42] <jezi22> i am now installing 3.5... i just need to make firefox to firefox-3.5.. :D
[14:43] <eurythmia> which version of firefox does the firefox metapackage correspond to?
[14:43] <dsdeiz> oh ok. i usually do ifup and ifdown to have connection.. would it affect that?
[14:43] <pumpkin> i added the line "127.0.0.1 domain" to /etc/hosts. ping domain resolves to 127.0.0.1. But the browsers (FF and opera) still get the correct IP from DNS. Why ... ?
[14:43] <genii> eurythmia: apt-cache policy firefox               will tell you
[14:43] <bjorkintosh> bah.
[14:44] <digifor> to repair grub on a dm-crypt do you need to chroot to /boot or to / or both?
[14:44] <bjorkintosh> i removed the gnome desktop abomination from my box, now x refuses to work.
[14:44] <eurythmia> genii: thanks. Didn't know about the policy command for apt.
[14:44] <ct529> back
[14:44] <bjorkintosh> do i need to reinstall it to get it working again?
[14:44] <genii> eurythmia: np
[14:44] <t__Eest> hey guys, when i install an script for xchat , then close it and open again, all scrypts are away, any reason ?
[14:44] <Halitech> bjorkintosh, it probably removed xorg as well
[14:45] <bjorkintosh> that's just inane.
[14:45] <Halitech> bjorkintosh, part of the ubuntu metapackage ... try sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core xorg and see if you get x back
[14:45] <bjorkintosh> i keep getting an unusable black screen...
[14:46] <pumpkin> bjorkintosh, that's normal, you don't have a WM anymore.
[14:46] <innomen> grrr i hate not haveing an error message to go by
[14:46] <Halitech> bjorkintosh, did you install any other desktop or window manager?
[14:46] <bjorkintosh> yes. fluxbox
[14:46] <bjorkintosh> what happened to ye olde grey hash screen?
[14:46] <ct529> scorpionica_: could you please paste the output of the previous commands for the laptop?
[14:47] <Dr_Willis> bjorkintosh:  they removed that  :)
[14:47] <bjorkintosh> ...
[14:47] <Dr_Willis> it was an eyesore
[14:47] <haf1ztang> guys
[14:47] <bjorkintosh> i could flipping see if the damned thing was working or not.
[14:47] <Dr_Willis> bjorkintosh:  you made a .xinitrc ? or some .Xsession?
[14:48] <Dr_Willis> bjorkintosh:   you see a mouse pointer moving about?
[14:48] <bjorkintosh> no mouse pointer.
[14:48] <Dr_Willis> bjorkintosh:  how are you starting X anyway? 'startx' ?
[14:48] <bjorkintosh> xinit
[14:48] <Dr_Willis> try 'startx'
[14:48] <innomen> ok i still cant make this work, is there a way to default my compiz settings and how drastic would that be?
[14:49] <Dr_Willis> You may want to make  a .xinitrc that launches fluxbox also
[14:49] <Explodus_> I'm having an issue when GDM starts from inital boot my system dead locks - can't control+alt+backspace - can't switch to TTY - only thing it resopnds to is RSEIUB - more info http://paste.ubuntu.com/258679/ -- Advance thanks for advise
[14:49] <bjorkintosh> same black screen.
[14:49] <pumpkin> bjorkintosh, is the screen working normally or does it look like out-of-range?
[14:49] <phreck> edit your xorg.conf
[14:49] <Halitech> bjorkintosh, did you make sure xorg and xserver-core-xorg was installed?
[14:49] <bjorkintosh> it might be out of range... but i thoguht xorg took care of all of that.
[14:49] <Dr_Willis> example .xinitrc file , 2 lines... ' xterm &'     then 'exec fluxbox'
[14:50] <bjorkintosh> Halitech,, of course. but i've been completely spoiled by freebsd's sheer ease of use
[14:50] <arand> Would anyone like to confirm/refute Bug #418135 please?
[14:50] <bjorkintosh> and i'm expecting services where they evidently don't exist on ubuntu.
[14:50] <Halitech> bjorkintosh, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  ??
[14:50] <Dr_Willis> Time to learn the OS i guess. :)
[14:50] <bjorkintosh> Dr_Willis, you mean the distro?
[14:50] <phreck> learn?
[14:50] <bjorkintosh> yeah, i s'pose so.
[14:51] <phreck> wat? LINUX IS SPOSED TO BE EASY.
[14:51] <phreck> =P
[14:51] <torocatala> Hi
[14:51] <Dr_Willis> phreck:  it is.. unless you start remioving things befor you understand it. :)
[14:51] <maco> bjorkintosh: id say OS is correct. ubuntu is linux and freebsd is bsd.
[14:51] <phreck> rm rf.
[14:51] <phreck> YAY
[14:51] <bjorkintosh> maco, i run debian on this machine, it isn't nearly as much of a PITA...
[14:51] <bjorkintosh> and i know ubuntu is based on debian
[14:52] <digifor> How do I rescue grub on a dm-crypt root?
[14:52] <maco> bjorkintosh: ohok
[14:52] <laeg> i want to allow a firefox addon rw /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
[14:52] <phreck> ubuntu is the nicee and easy going flavor
[14:52] <maco> bjorkintosh: maybe if you install xdm?
[14:52] <laeg> but it's telling me to check permissions, what can i do?
[14:52] <bjorkintosh> see, i don't need XDM but if i must, i shall.
[14:52] <iceroot> phreck: you have a ubuntu-related question? otherwise ubuntu-offtopic is a good place
[14:52] <Dr_Willis> bjorkintosh:  or use  the .xinitrc  and 'startx'
[14:52] <bjorkintosh> i have.
[14:52] <bjorkintosh> my machine keeps crashing.
[14:53] <maco> bjorkintosh: though i guess if startx is failing.. :-/ maybe you need to actually do things to xorg.conf for your hardware?
[14:53] <phreck> iceroot, right. im in there. thanks.
[14:53] <Halitech> bjorkintosh, ubuntu has made just enough changes that its different then debian so they work just a little different (I run Debian as well)
[14:53] <bjorkintosh> yeah ... i had to forcibly remove gnome because it was getting on my nerves with it's sloth (old computer).
[14:54] <bjorkintosh> and now everything seems to be down.
[14:54] <bjorkintosh> never experienced this sort of thing in almost 10 years of using free-OSes.
[14:54] <danbhfive> bjorkintosh: you should try xubuntu.  That is at least supported
[14:54] <torocatala> Hi
[14:54] <bjorkintosh> xubuntu? how's it different?
[14:54] <jakerue> anyone willing to help with GRUB and copied partitions?
[14:54] <Halitech> bjorkintosh, I wonder if there is anything here that might help http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=5382&hilit=flux
[14:54] <grawity> bjorkintosh: it uses Xfce instead of GNOME - the only difference.
[14:55] <iceroot> bjorkintosh: its using xfce4 instead of gnome
[14:55] <Dr_Willis> You could of just isntalled fluxbox and selected fluxbox from the login menu...
[14:55] <danbhfive> bjorkintosh: it uses xfce and it tends to use less resources that ubuntu
[14:55] <arand> jakerue: maybe, specify issue.
[14:55] <iceroot> !ask | jakerue
[14:55] <Halitech> xubuntu is just barely lighter then ubuntu anymore
[14:55] <mcoelho> bom dia
[14:55] <mcoelho> tem algum brasileiro ??
[14:56] <grawity> bjorkintosh: If you want things to be as light as possible, Ubuntu might be not for you.
[14:56] <t__Eest> hey can someone help me installing an xchat script ?

[14:56] <Dr_Willis> bjorkintosh:  there are some ubuntu variants that include fluxbox from teh start. :)
[14:56] <jakerue> I ran out of space on my fs so I went to resize.   Booted liveCD, deleted NTFS partition, couldn't simply enlarge because partitions weren't next to each other.  Copied ubuntu part to new open partition
[14:56] <phreck> torocatala, you have an ATI card?
[14:56] <torocatala> any other way to activate the durver, like, uhm, edit xorg.conf manually?
[14:56] <Dr_Willis> not officially supported here - however...
[14:56] <torocatala> phreck, no, a nvdia 5200
[14:56] <phreck> hmm
[14:56] <jakerue> now can only seem to boot into the old partition, not the newly resized one
[14:56] <phreck> not sure then sorry.
[14:57] <danbhfive> !karmic | torocatala
[14:57] <mcoelho> good moring...
[14:57] <torocatala> thx danbhfive
[14:57] <mcoelho> i need of some help
[14:57] <iceroot> !ask | mcoelho
[14:57] <t__Eest> okay will check the chan
[14:58] <jakerue> the new partition was not seeing the new file size so I used gpart to shrink and then expand to get it to the new size.....still can't get to it
[14:58] <arand> jakerue: in what way did you "copy" ubuntu into the new partiton space?
[14:58] <jakerue> @ arand I used gparted
[14:59] <bjorkintosh> nice! ctrl-alt-bkspace is disabled by default :)
[14:59] <jakerue> it shows up as /dev/sda1 now and bootable when I use fdisk but I can't get to it
[14:59] <bjorkintosh> @$#$%#$%T#!
[14:59] <arand> jakerue: hmm, I'm not quite following you here: So you had what partitions to start with?
[14:59] <Pici> !dontzap | bjorkintosh
[15:00] <jakerue> I had 1 ext3, 2 NTFS and a swap
[15:00] <arand> jakerue: in that order?
[15:00] <mcoelho> bom dia
[15:00] <arand> jakerue: and all primary (not extended)?
[15:01] <mcoelho> como façao pra conseguir mapear automaticamente através do samba ?
[15:01] <bazhang> mcoelho, #ubuntu-br for brasilian, English here
[15:01] <jakerue> hmmm not sure how to answer that
[15:01] <mcoelho> sorry man..
[15:02] <jakerue> and no they weren't in that order....a NTFS was first, then another NTFS (Data) and then my ubuntu
[15:02] <arand> jakerue: so you had sda1 (ext3), sda2 (ntfs) and sda3 (swap)? Or was the naming different?
[15:02] <mido> guyz .... is there any program to cut a mpe track ?
[15:03] <mido> mp3*
[15:03] <Halitech> mido, audacity
[15:03] <t__Eest> how can i comne in the /.xchat2/ directory ?
[15:03] <mido> Halitech , thnx
[15:04] <jakerue> I don't remember exactly because I don't have it anymore.  Now I have sda1(ext3),  sda2(W95 Ext'd (LBA)), sda5 (NTFS), sda6 (ext3), sda7 (swap)
[15:04] <mazi_> zc
[15:05] <ltcabral> hey where is the thrash folder inside ^
[15:05] <ltcabral> inside ~
[15:06] <bazhang> !trash
[15:06] <IdleOne> t__Eest: cd ~/.xchat2   if your using nautilus hold down ctrl+h to show the hidden folders
[15:07] <bjorkintosh> fantastic! now the damned thing works.
[15:07] <bjorkintosh> aaaand it's screaming. good-gnome riddance.
[15:07] <baby> 有中国的吗
[15:07] <roy_1> Hi, I have xp and vista installed. I want to replace vista with ubuntu. I want the grub boot loader to load first and give the option to logon to windows or ubuntu. How do I do that?
[15:08] <adaptr> roy_1: install ubuntu, and that is what will happen
[15:08] <genii> !cn
[15:08] <digifor> chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory
[15:08] <digifor> What is causing the chroot problem?
[15:08] <adaptr> digifor: it's telling you, quite literally
[15:09] <lily_shu> hi guys.. please tell me how can i permanently kill gnome-power-manager..
[15:09] <JB1023> Can anybody tell me why when I try to map a drive on a WinXP machine I have to include the name of the folder twice such as \\server\pictures\pictures? It should just be \\server\pictures.
[15:09] <digifor> Isn't /bin/bash on the livecd?
[15:09] <roy_1> I don't have much space on hdd, so the vista drive has to be cleared. This drive has the bcd.
[15:09] <arand> jakerue: Ok, and you copied sda6 straight out to sda1, replacing a deleted ntfs partition?
[15:09] <jakerue> arand : yup
[15:09] <grawity> JB1023: You might have set up the share incorrectly
[15:10] <MikeSeth> JB1023: \\foo\a\b means box foo share a directory b
[15:10] <MikeSeth> JB1023: you are not exporting the share propertly
[15:10] <MikeSeth> properly*
[15:10] <arand> jakerue: And have you reinstalled grub after that?
[15:10] <jakerue> no, I haven't
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> JB1023:  check out the 'findsmb' and 'smbtree' command to see what  they see as the shares names.
[15:11] <jakerue> I actually followed this http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_resizing_ext3_partitions_p2 for  while
[15:11] <Zerosan> Hello
[15:12] <jakerue> ..actually all the whole thing
[15:12] <digifor> Does the ubuntu livecd have /bin/bash on it?
[15:12] <Dr_Willis> digifor:  pretty sure it has bash..  not sure its in /bin/ or /sbin
[15:12] <Dr_Willis>  /bin/bash  i think
[15:12] <grawity> It's /bin/bash, like always.
[15:12] <James147> digifor: it should, /bin/bash i think its location is
[15:12] <innomen> which button is my middle mouse?
[15:12] <Zerosan> I've got a little Problem with sharing a scanner through the network, the server is ubuntu-server 9.04 and the client is ubuntu-desktop 9.04 | well, client finds the scanner that is shared on the server, but the access is beeing denied.
[15:13] <innomen> like what number
[15:13] <innomen> i thought 3 but apprently i'm wrong
[15:13] <danbhfive> innomen: probably 3
[15:13] <Dr_Willis> innomen:  the one in  the middle? :)  thats #3 i think.
[15:13] <Zerosan> Scanning an image on the server as root works flawlessly
[15:13] <arand> jakerue: then that it what you should do. Boot a livecd, get into terminal, do "sudo grub" then "root (hd0,0)" then "setup (hd0)" and hopefully, you should be able to boot into the sda1 ubuntu partitions after that.
[15:13] <danbhfive> innomen: in what context?
[15:13] <digifor> Then I ask again Why is this happening? chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory
[15:13] <innomen> ok thanks i must have broken something
[15:13] <innomen> danbhfive, tryingt o make rotate cube my middle mouse button
[15:13] <arand> !grub > jakerue
[15:14] <innomen> set the binding to button 3, no dice
[15:14] <jakerue> arand: I could be in sda1 actually but the fs has not been resized
[15:14] <jakerue> in GRUB now there are 4 entries but all with the same UUID
[15:15] <Halitech> digifor, are you running it as sudo?
[15:15] <digifor> sudo su
[15:15] <Zerosan> can soemone help me on ubuntu-server + sane + network sharing of scanner?
[15:16] <arand> jakerue: but those are for the different kernels right?
[15:16] <kitallis> guys, i'm windows ntfs partition has stopped working (probably corrupt for some reason), so i can mount an ntfs drive from ubuntu, what should I do?
[15:16] <kitallis> s/i'm/my
[15:16] <MikeSeth> digifor: sudo -s
[15:16] <jakerue> arand: right you are
[15:16] <JB1023> smbtree sees it, when I run the findsmb I get a bunch of 0.0.0.0 Server [Domain] [Unix] [Samba 3.3.2] and then a bunch of unknown nis name entries and then a few servers, including this one.
[15:17] <digifor> thanks MikeSeth and Halitech for point out the error
[15:17] <jakerue> arand: I've actually got /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11 through 15
[15:17] <MikeSeth> JB1023: you are not sharing the target directory but the one above it
[15:17] <Snake23> kitallis:  s/i\'m/my
[15:17] <kitallis> yeah.
[15:18] <MikeSeth> Snake23: no need to escape ' and you forgot the trailing slash :P
[15:18] <digifor> s
[15:18] <innomen> my machine apears to not see my middle mouse button
[15:18] <innomen> but i cant confirm that
[15:19] <innomen> how could i confirm that?
[15:19] <Dr_Willis> innomen:  tty the 'xev' command
[15:19] <MikeSeth> innomen: on some configurations you need to explicitly specify the mouse type in x/xorg configuration (google imps2)
[15:19] <innomen> Dr_Willis, shock and suprise you solved it
[15:19] <JB1023> thanks guys.  once again I overlooked the obvious and you found it.
[15:19] <arand> jakerue: so they all point ot the same partiton, I'm guessing that you are currently booting into sda6...
[15:20] <Dr_Willis> innomen:  on some of these  wheel mice - i find it a real pain to use the middle button. :(
[15:20] <zealiod> after reading the preseeding wikis over and over i am still left unsure what the bear minimum i need to do is to preseed an ISO... do I just need to edit the preseed file and rebuild the iso?
[15:20] <Dr_Willis> innomen:  the one i got now.. i find it next to impossible mioddle click. :(
[15:20] <jakerue> arand: I think you're right.  Now how can I get to sda1?
[15:20] <innomen> Dr_Willis, yea, i had one once with a huge wheel in the middle
[15:21] <innomen> like as wide as my finger and concave
[15:21] <Dr_Willis> innomen:  it is button 2 here.. when i can make it click
[15:21] <innomen> probabaly patented
[15:21] <innomen> so no one will ever see it again
[15:21] <zealiod> im not sure i understand the difference between file preseeding and initrd preseeding... even tho i've read about both... all i want to do is specify a couple of default values for the installation
[15:21] <innomen> Dr_Willis, same herew, b2
[15:21] <zealiod> whats the eaiest way of doing this?
[15:21] <arand> jakerue: are you booted now, in sda6? (if you run the command df look at the top line to see which partition is the current root filesystem)
[15:21] <mic53> hallo
[15:22] <jakerue> arand: I am in sda6
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> I have to be real carefull to not 'scroll' the wheel or it overrides the middle click it seems
[15:22] <innomen> ok i must sleep now
[15:22] <innomen> Dr_Willis, yup, i HATE that
[15:22] <innomen> l8r guys
[15:22] <innomen> thanks Doc :)
[15:22] <mazda01> nautilus has appeared to have frozen during a cut and paste of some files. what can I do so that I don't lose the files that I was cutting and pasting?
[15:23] <Nitrodist> hi, I'd like to know where smb shares are really mounted?
[15:23] <mic53> hi, can someone help me in compiling dmx4linux 2.6.1?
[15:23] <maximo__> !hello
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> Nitrodist:  on the fly shares by the user - see the .gvfs directroy in the users home.
[15:23] <mazda01> Nitrodist, what do you mean, really mounted?
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> Nitrodist:  from /etc/fstab they could go anywhere you want
[15:23] <zealiod> can anyone help with a preseeding question?
[15:23] <Nitrodist> great thanks Dr_Willis
[15:23] <arand> jakerue: ok, now we'll try adding an entry for ubuntu on sda1 into the grub menu: first use the command "blkid" and note the UUID for the sda1 partition.
[15:24] <Dr_Willis> Nitrodist:  whats confuseing is that the things dont show up in 'mount' output.. still not sure how they manage that
[15:24] <mazda01> nautilus has appeared to have frozen during a cut and paste of some files. what can I do so that I don't lose the files that I was cutting and pasting?
[15:24] <Nitrodist> now how do I get foobar2000 running in wine to display hidden folders :P
[15:24] <jakerue> arand:got it
[15:24] <arand> jakerue: then run "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[15:25] <vinto> guys, I need your help
[15:25] <jakerue> arand: it's telling me sda1 is NTFS
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> Nitrodist:  link the hidden dir to a diffrent name :) like 'Shares'
[15:25] <vinto> i want to install tor
[15:25] <arand> jakerue: oh..., that's not right...
[15:25] <Nitrodist> Dr_Willis, and how do I do that :P
[15:25] <Nitrodist> with mount?
[15:25] <jakerue> arand: yes....I agree
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> vinto:  check the tor wiki pages.. theres some issues with the tor packages (like they dont exist) :)
[15:25] <RS_Asleep> Hello :)
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> Nitrodist:  No with 'ln -s'
[15:25] <Dr_Willis>  ln -s onething otherthing
[15:26] <Gr1> Greetings all. I am getting an error like ImportError: No module named GDK
[15:26] <Gr1>  when trying to run a benchmark application. Any idea on how to get this fixed?
[15:26] <Dr_Willis> and i always get it backwards. :)
[15:26] <Dr_Willis> night all
[15:26] <arand> jakerue: Could you pastebin the output of "fdisk -l" ?
[15:26] <arand> !pastebin | jakerue
[15:26] <vinto> Dr_Willis: ok, I'll try it
[15:26] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, when using ln -s, the target is first, then the directory link name is last.
[15:27] <RS_Asleep> Is there anyone using CUPS on an ubuntu server who would be able to help me out please? :)
[15:28] <jakerue> arand: http://paste.ubuntu.com/258716/plain/
[15:28] <haf1ztang> Dr_Willis: can help me with my wireless pls
[15:28] <lamba> hello. a log file filled my harddrive so 0 byes were free. i've deleted a 1.5gb file (on command line rm) but the disk is still given as full ;-/ - there's some sore of sync needed ?
[15:29] <Halitech> RS_Asleep, what kind of help do you need?
[15:29] <MikeSeth> lamba: you probably deleted from the wrong partition, df -h
[15:29] <lamba> didnt.
[15:30] <lamba> theres 1 partition :)
[15:30] <MikeSeth> lamba: can't happen with file this big, check yourself. Filesystems reserve some space for root.
[15:30] <arand> jakerue: and that one says linux... and blkid gives ntfs? that is odd...
[15:30] <navatwo> I just installed Songbird, now how would I add it into the "Applications" menu? Since its not from the repos, I don't know how to add it.
[15:30] <haf1ztang> any1 could help me with my wireless.

[15:32] <bjorkintosh> i've got alsa running, but no sound.
[15:33] <bjorkintosh> does it need something else?
[15:33] <thiebaude> !alsa
[15:33] <Sirisian|Work__> how do you find where a command is located? I forgot the command.
[15:33] <Halitech> bjorkintosh, have  you checked nothing is muted?
[15:33] <bjorkintosh> yeah
[15:33] <Explodus_> Sirisian|Work__, which
[15:33] <Halitech> bjorkintosh, aplay -l show anything?
[15:34] <bjorkintosh> gaaah! it removed my sound card too. that explains that.
[15:34] <Dziku> #punkpl
[15:34] <bjorkintosh> forcibly removing gnome considered dangerous
[15:35] <Halitech> bjorkintosh, sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils hal then run alsaconf
[15:36] <bjorkintosh> they were all installed.
[15:36] <arand> jakerue: Yea, that is just odd, could try to boot into it using that UUID but something tells me it might not work: Anyhow, if you want to try do "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" then scroll down to the first entry you currently use, copy that one into a new entry, put a different title and edit the UUID to match that one for sda1, then save and reboot, and see what happens when you start that entry in the grub menu.
[15:36] <rsk> Halitech: there's no alsaconf
[15:36] <rsk> in ubuntu
[15:37] <Halitech> rsk, bummer
[15:37] <rsk> no shit
[15:37] <rsk> gives so much extra problems by removing it
[15:37] <Halitech> rsk, now I know why I prefer Debian, still has tools to fix things that Ubuntu doesn't
[15:37] <mazda01> nautilus has appeared to have frozen during a cut and paste of some files. what can I do so that I don't lose the files that I was cutting and pasting?
[15:38] <mazda01> also, my desktop icons have gone away. do I just restart metacity? i force quit nautilus
[15:38] <abu> is there a similar server app to citrix solutions?
[15:38] <bjorkintosh> hmm. alsamixer shows a card
[15:38] <bjorkintosh> but there's no alsaconf
[15:39] <rsk> as i said, no alsaconf in ubuntu
[15:39] <ranjan> mazda01: whats the problem??
[15:40] <mazda01> ranjan, well, i was cuting and pasting some files in nautilus from one nfs share to another nfs share and nautilus froze. so I force quit it and now nautilus wont open and my desktop icons are gone and so is my conky.
[15:40] <mnaines> 16.7 ampere-hours is how much my laptop's charger and the external hard drive require
[15:40] <ranjan> mazda01: just logout and come back it will be ok
[15:40] <Halitech> mazda01, just make sure you uncheck the option to save settings
[15:41] <mazda01> ok, thanks both of you. will try that
[15:41] <jakerue> arand: Can you check what I did here?  I edited the second entry with the correct UUID  http://paste.ubuntu.com/258721/plain/
[15:42] <Jimmio> Hello all. I recently modified my fstab to allow a partition to mount. I currently am having MANY issues with permissions... again. Why can't Ubuntu just mount it for me? v.v
[15:42] <Halitech> Jimmio, what type of partition are you mounting?
[15:43] <Jimmio> Halitech: ntfs
[15:43] <Halitech> Jimmio, can you paste bin your fstab
[15:43] <bjorkintosh> Halitech, did you know that alsaconf is not included in ubuntu?
[15:44] <Halitech> bjorkintosh, not until rsk mentioned it
[15:44] <Jimmio> Halitech: Just a second here... What should the umask value be? It's set to 000... for some reason I think that's incorrect.
[15:44] <bjorkintosh> ah i missed that.
[15:44] <Sirmimer> I need help - to test if my mic is working in general (So i can see if its the programs my mic aint working in, or my mic)
[15:44] <arand> jakerue: yes, that is what I had in mind, now you could try rebooting and see if that entry works.
[15:45] <ranjan> Jimmio: umask should not be set to 000
[15:45] <Jimmio> ranjan: I figured. 775..?
[15:45] <Halitech> Jimmio, according to here it is 007 http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindowsfstab
[15:45] <llutz> !ntfs-3g | Jimmio
[15:45] <ranjan> Jimmio: ya thats better
[15:46] <bjorkintosh> is OSS a better option than ALSA?
[15:46] <jakerue> arand: I don't want to try it right now because I have to finish planning for tomorrow.  I sure hope that does work!  If I come back tomorrow you know it didn't!  Thanks for the help
[15:46] <llutz> umask 775?  no way
[15:46] <anas> howto mount  usb  on ubuntu 9.04 from command line
[15:47] <ranjan> anas: just find the device node by using sudo fdisk -l
[15:47] <Jimmio> bjorkintosh: For what? Default installs now use PulseAudio on top of ALSA and it's almost always perfect. Almost. Latency seems to be the issue. Just like how DirectSound is slower than ASIO4All under Windows
[15:47] <RS_Asleep> How do you know if a printer is operating in ECP mode or EPP mode?
[15:47] <ubby> hi
[15:48] <arand> jakerue: Ok, I think that if it does work, and you want to transfer over to that partition completely, you should reinstall grub (look for guides) into using partiton.
[15:48] <Halitech> !hi | ubby
[15:48] <ubby> :)
[15:48] <ranjan> anas: then use sudo mount /dev/sdx /mnt    where x is the value from fstab
[15:48] <ubby> !hi | Halitech
[15:48] <gst> hello all..
[15:48] <ubby> :D

[15:49] <leaf-sheep> Is it possible to mirror from a website using rsync --no-parent (eg, getting all images)?
[15:50] <ranjan> fredrickton: try using the display utility
[15:50] <gst> any suggestions what all settings are required for mic testing?
[15:50] <lollan> Hi, I can't find the .emacs folder on my home, instead I have emacs.d , anyone can tell me where to find .emacs ? I need it to install some plugin.
[15:50] <xinhaiwx565> 大家好
[15:51] <ruben23> hi
[15:51] <Jimmio> I installed a package that added a python utility to setup fstab. I don't own any of the files, not in the group, mask set to 000, and yet I can freely do anything with the files... What gives?
[15:51] <ubby> lollan: if it's not in your home directory then I guess there no exists any .emacs directory in your filesystem. You should check for an emacs (without leading dot) somwhere in /usr/local or so
[15:52] <lollan> ok ubby I'll check there thanks
[15:52] <llutz> Jimmio:  umask=000 means everbody can do anything
[15:53] <ubby> np
[15:53] <Nitrodist> Jimmio, you've discovered the largest security hole in linux's history

[15:53] <coldReactive42> My problem is comment 68
[15:53] <Nitrodist> oh wait... I think llutz is correct XD
[15:55] <llutz> Jimmio:  go do some reading what umask is and how if affects permissions

[15:55] <CuppaTea> apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
[15:55] <ubby> lollan: then I guess you should put there something :-P
[15:55] <ubby> lollan: I can't help you so much; I'm a Vim user. Sorry.
[15:56] <CuppaTea> did not have this problem before. and I just installed ubuntu again + apache2 / sql / phpmyadmin and im getting that message again
[15:56] <zagabar1> Yo! is there a way to run .mrc mIRC script files in ubuntu?
[15:57] <zagabar1> Like in irssi or sth
[15:57] <arvind_khadri> hi, i am using 2.6.1 , using the voice and video chat on XMPP. the problem is that voice cant be heard / sent ... am on JJ
[15:57] <Andrea17090> Ciaooo
[15:57] <Pici> zagabar1: no. Unless you run mIRC in Wine, there are no other applications that can run them.
[15:58] <zagabar1> Pici: Oh. Is there a way to convert them? Or how about making a VM that runs mIRC on windows in ubuntu?
[15:58] <Halitech> CuppaTea, there is info here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=441019&page=3

[15:58] <CuppaTea> thanks
[15:59] <Pici> zagabar1: Installing mIRC in Wine would be easier than running all of Windows in a VM, and I don't know of any way to convert them.
[15:59] <zagabar1> Pici: Okay, thanks. I'll go with wine then. =)
[16:00] <ranjan> CuppaTea: it coz your domain name is not fully qualified(FQDN)

[16:20] <RS_Asleep> Halitech: I'm running CUPS with a Samsung parallel port printer on Ubuntu and sharing it with a Windows XP machine (with the XP machine using the MS Publisher ImageSetter driver). Thing is, it seems to be taking ages to print and that it's spending a lot of time "processing". For example I've just sent a 4 page Open Office Calc sheet to it with a size of 204K and it's been going now 40 minutes.

[16:21] <RS_Asleep> Works fine. It used to be shared on a seperate machine but I moved it to the linux box as that was always on, Halitech.
[16:22] <RS_Asleep> It used to be shared on a Windows machine I mean.
[16:22] <Halitech> RS_Asleep, so printing locally is fine and only has an issue printing from a networked machine

[16:23] <RS_Asleep> I was thinking you mean the printer on the Windows XP machine.
[16:23] <RS_Asleep> Brain rot :/
[16:23] <Halitech> RS_Asleep, no, since you installed it on the linux box

[16:24] <JohannesSM64> what's the usual causes?
[16:24] <Halitech> RS_Asleep, also, is there any adapters being used in the cabling?
[16:24] <IdleOne> What is the name of the app that adds minimize to tray?
[16:25] <Halitech> JohannesSM64, what video card and what version of Ubuntu?
[16:25] <i00nsu> bjorkintosh: the thing is: I print page and I get 2 or more pages saying: "Cover Page: title smbprn.00000001 Document"

[16:26] <RS_Asleep> Halitech: I have an extension cable, but without it, still the same. It will print documents, it's just very slow between me sending it and it printing it.
[16:26] <frealek> hi everybody. I'm trying to build modules for ubuntu 9.04. I'm running linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic  and compiling using linux-source-2.6.28,  and compiled modules vermagic is 2.6.28.10... I didn't have this problem on debian, is there a way I can make the modules with vermagic 2.6.28-15-generic ?... thanks in advance
[16:27] <bazhang> IdleOne, alltray ?
[16:27] <Halitech> RS_Asleep, ok, just wondering if there was an adapter as I haven't seen many machines with an lpt port lately
[16:27] <JohannesSM64> Halitech, nvidia geforce 8500 GT
[16:27] <IdleOne> bazhang: so simple I would never have guessed it lol. Thank you
[16:27] <bazhang> IdleOne, :)
[16:27] <Halitech> JohannesSM64, did you enable the restricted drivers?
[16:27] <JohannesSM64> Halitech, how?
[16:28] <RS_Asleep> Halitech: It's a VIA C3 cpu with onboard parallel port :)
[16:28] <Halitech> JohannesSM64, System - admin - hardware drivers
[16:28] <Halitech> RS_Asleep, ok :)
[16:28] <RS_Asleep> Halitech: I've also just got the linux box to print a test page and it took about 30 seconds before it started to print :)
[16:29] <Halitech> RS_Asleep, so local printing is fine, something to do with the sharing, the network or the way you installed the driver on windows :) ( I know, narrows it down alot ;) )
[16:29] <JohannesSM64> Halitech, "no propietary drivers are in use on this system"
[16:29] <navatwo> So, I would ask here, but it takes to long, so if anyone can take a look at this, I would appreciate it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7838778
[16:30] <Halitech> JohannesSM64, ok, you will need to do it manually then, I'm not sure as I don't have an nvidia card
[16:30] <Halitech> !nvidia | JohannesSM64
[16:30] <RS_Asleep> Halitech: While the file is obviously getting there cos pritning on Windows takes seconds. I'm assuming either state processing is the linux box converting the file into something it can use or the sending of the into the printer :/

[16:30] <lexr> hi, can anyone tell me why is my ubuntu only using one core at a time while the other core is only at 8-10% utilization and they simultaneously turn around? And how do I make it use 2gb of ram, it only uses 280-300mb, and work very slowly (openoffice calc)...
[16:31] <bjorkintosh> i should remove all traces of ubuntu from this machine to restore my sanity :|
[16:31] <bjorkintosh> i thought it was just gnome, but i'm getting rather suspicious
[16:31] <Berzerker> lexr, if it doesn't need the RAM, it won't use it.
[16:31] <DaZ-> lexr, did you do something with the kernel? <:
[16:31] <lexr> nothing at all

[16:32] <lexr> when I select rows in OO calc (a file with 350 rows) it really goes slooowly
[16:33] <lexr> and my system monitor only shows one core working hard and only 280mb of ram using... Is there a way to speed it up a bit?
[16:34] <DaZ-> lexr, anything else than openoffice?
[16:34] <bazhang> IdleOne, hmm, that's odd; perhaps only stuff from repos work?
[16:34] <IdleOne> bazhang: possibly
[16:34] <lexr> mmm, did not notice anything else. DaZ-

[16:34] <lexr> Halitech, thanx mate

[16:35] <DaZ-> Halitech, wrong
[16:35] <bazhang> IdleOne, seems songbird has an addon called firetray, there is also an ubuntuforums thread on the two which I'm reading now

[16:36] <lexr> DaZ-, is there a way to upgrade?
[16:36] <IdleOne> bazhang: thank you will look into it also
[16:36] <Halitech> DaZ-, wrong?
[16:36] <lexr> all the programs that have 64bit version have to be reinstalled, and also the Kernel himself
[16:36] <DaZ-> lexr, i switched repositories to 64bit and reinstalled packages <:

[16:45] <lexr> mhall119|work, thank you
[16:45] <mhall119|work> bjorkintosh: there is an "audio" group
[16:45] <miguelonnnn> hi, please i got a question, how can i make a usb bootable ubuntu partition? i don't wana use programs.
[16:46] <mhall119|work> miguelonnnn: you're gonna have to use programs of one form or another
[16:46] <lexr> I need to go and finish my work i left in OO calc, see you guys, thanx a lot!
[16:46] <linuxninja> miguelonnnn: are you doing this on a flash drive?
[16:46] <mhall119|work> The USB Startup Creator in Ubuntu is the easiest
[16:46] <IdleOne> mhall119|work: I think he means in cli
[16:46] <bjorkintosh> i don't see it.
[16:46] <bjorkintosh> i see pulse though.
[16:46] <miguelonnnn> my idea is to mount the ubuntu iso on my system, dd it to the usb, and then make a mbr on the 0 sector, but to make that, i need that dd do not dump part of the ubuntu image into sector 0, because mbr would overwrite that data
[16:46] <darksifer> hi guys
[16:47] <linuxninja> miguelonnnn: There's more to it then that
[16:47] <mhall119|work> miguelonnnn: just use the USB Startup creator
[16:47] <miguelonnnn> yeah its a flash, and i don't want to use any program, please, just one to make the mbr
[16:47] <Insaan> miguelonnnn, or use unetbootin
[16:47] <darksifer> can i use ext4 for ? and ext3 for/home without any problems
[16:47] <shibs> all the applications are going to background wile opening ...pls help
[16:47] <mhall119|work> miguelonnnn: why don't you want to use any programs?
[16:48] <linuxninja> miguelonnnn: there is a way to make the mbr but that's not all you need
[16:48] <Organzzz> hey all
[16:48] <miguelonnnn> i know there exists unetbootin, and grub and so on, but i just want to dump the iso into 1-end sectors, and leave 0 for mbr. How can i do it? i thought about partitioning, but there's the same problem, how can i tell a partitioning program to start at sector 1 of the flash?
[16:48] <miguelonnnn> hey Organzzz
[16:48] <drk> hi all
[16:49] <miguelonnnn> hi drk hehe
[16:49] <drk>  i wanna ask something
[16:49] <IdleOne> ask
[16:49] <miguelonnnn> do it ;)
[16:49] <miguelonnnn> linuxninja tell me how please
[16:49] <drk> how can i add a animated weather desktop wallpaper?
[16:49] <bjorkintosh> so aplay -l lists the proper options when i'm root
[16:49] <mhall119|work> miguelonnnn: the USB Startup Disk Creator does exactly what you want, it creates the MBR and dumps the contents of the ISO to a USB stick
[16:49] <bjorkintosh> and tells me there's nothing to see as a regular user.
[16:49] <darksifer> hi guys can i use ext4 for / and ext3 for /home without any problems and lack of performance???
[16:50] <mhall119|work> darksifer: you should be fine with that
[16:50] <oviedovive> hola
[16:50] <oviedovive> alguien que hable español?
[16:50] <shibs> darksifer: ya you can
[16:50] <IdleOne> !es
[16:50] <linuxninja> miguelonnnn: Oh, sorry... I was thinking of something else. What you want is a boot loader
[16:50] <Organzzz> could anybody help me with plesk??
[16:50] <darksifer> ok thanks
[16:50] <miguelonnnn> yeah mhall119|work , i know there exists programs that do that, but i want to do it on my own. Please do you know how can i tell dd to start at sector 1, or make a partition at sector 1?
[16:51] <Sirmimer> Hi i need help with 3 programs called "Urban Terror", "Mumble", and "TeamSpeak 2" - if anyone know anything to them, please pm me!
[16:51] <simran> how can i automate the keyring password ?
[16:51] <mhall119|work> miguelonnnn: oh, in that case no
[16:51] <bazhang> michaelc, ultimate is not supported here
[16:51] <mhall119|work> you can tell dd to skip a number of blocks
[16:51] <michaelc> hello people how to i get a serch in my menu im new to this

[16:52] <bazhang> twint, #ubuntu-br
[16:52] <linuxninja> miguelonnnn: If you dd the ISO to the flash drive it won't boot.
[16:52] <miguelonnnn> mhall119|work, , what caould i do then?
[16:52] <IdleOne> !br
[16:52] <Berzerker> !br | twint
[16:52] <simran> how can i automate the keyring password ?
[16:52] <simran> !keyring
[16:52] <twint> muito obrigado
[16:52] <mhall119|work> miguelonnnn: look at the source code for the USB Startup Disk Creator to see how it does it
[16:53] <Organzzz> plesk help anyone????
[16:53] <twint> !br
[16:53] <miguelonnnn> yeah linux, because i need to make a mbr first, but if dd copied data into sector 0 of the flash, it will get override when i write the mbr, so how can i tell dd to copy starting at sector 1?
[16:53] <IdleOne> twint: /join #ubuntu-br
[16:53] <mhall119|work> miguelonnnn: dd has a skip flag
[16:53] <miguelonnnn> is it bash script? or C?
[16:53] <miguelonnnn> GREAT, ! that's what  ineed
[16:53] <miguelonnnn> i need to set a 512 flag
[16:54] <miguelonnnn> 512 bytes, ( the first sector)
[16:54] <mhall119|work> miguelonnnn: I have no idea what language it's in
[16:54] <linuxninja> miguelonnnn: You can't dd the iso image to the mbr. Its too big and it doesn't have the right information.
[16:54] <mhall119|work> but it most likely calls out to other programs to do the actual work
[16:54] <miguelonnnn> i just know a little C hehe, i couldn't understand how it works at such low level
[16:54] <ZenMasta> I used a live cd to backup my win computer before formatting. I compressed to gz. I'm wondering if there is a way I can explore the backup to retreive some files
[16:54] <mhall119|work> miguelonnnn: dd SKIP=BLOCKS
[16:54] <ruspix> ciao a tutti
[16:55] <IdleOne> ZenMasta: unzip it
[16:55] <miguelonnnn> ciao ruspix
[16:55] <mhall119|work> miguelonnnn: looks like it's python
[16:55] <ruspix> ciao
[16:55] <miguelonnnn> ok linuxninja  and mhall119|work , but linuxninja why dd won't work?
[16:55] <IdleOne> !it | ruspix
[16:56] <linuxninja> miguelonnnn: You need a boot loader.
[16:56] <miguelonnnn> if i set a correct mbr and then i dump the cd iso to the flash usb, it should, don't you think?
[16:56] <Explodus_> I'm having an issue when GDM starts from inital boot my system dead locks - can't control+alt+backspace - can't switch to TTY - only thing it resopnds to is RSEIUB - more info http://paste.ubuntu.com/258679/ -- Advance thanks for advise
[16:56] <ZenMasta> IdleOne When I open the file mybackup.gz all that is inside is another file called backup and I don't see an extension (i'm in windows)
[16:56] <linuxninja> miguelonnnn: If you dd the iso to a hard drive it won't boot... Read about boot loaders
[16:57] <miguelonnnn> why? i know i'll need if i want to double boot, but why i need it for 1 single partiton?
[16:57] <IdleOne> ZenMasta: double click that file
[16:57] <IdleOne> ZenMasta: not sure honestly
[16:58] <grawity> miguelonnnn: It doesn't matter how many OSes you have, there still needs to be some kind of a bootloader that can start those OSes.
[16:58] <linuxninja> miguelonnnn: All operating systems have a boot loader. When you turn on any computer the BIOS starts, checks the hardware, then looks for a boot loader...
[16:58] <grawity> Switching between them is just a secondary function.
[16:58] <miguelonnnn> ok then, i need a bootloader
[16:58] <ZenMasta> IdleOne I'll checkthe forums then. thanks
[16:58] <miguelonnnn> but grub gets installed on mbr, doesn't it?
[16:59] <sekaab> hello linux users
[17:00] <linuxninja> miguelonnnn: Yes, grub is your boot loader. You don't install it with dd. Well, not off an ISO.
[17:00] <lanzelloth> what kind of regex does ls use?
[17:01] <miguelonnnn> my idea now is the following: mount the iso, dd it to the usb with SKIP=1 (block of 512 bytes, that is, the MBR, so i can later install grub there), then i install grub at sector 0, and make it bootable with a partition table and that's it?
[17:01] <simran> !brainstorm
[17:01] <ckill> Just a test
[17:01] <lanzelloth> nvm it's bash
[17:01] <sekaab> i got a problem with my mount system ... yesterday i had a read error as i played a dvd ... after that i ejected (manually) cleaned dvd and reinsertet but it didnt even recognized the eject provess ... an now i cant mount anything ... computer is not rebooted til now
[17:01] <apparle> how to modify strings in bash scripts.....Actually I am taking the argument to script as somefilename.ext and I want to generate a variable which will contain the filename without the extension
[17:02] <James147> miguelonnnn: if you want to make a live usb from an iso use usb-creator (in the ubuntu repos) makes things ALOT easier
[17:02] <ckill> Hi all very new here and have some mail server questions
[17:02] <miguelonnnn> i know james, but i'm really stub and i want to make things the hard way haha, just to learn
[17:02] <remoteCTRL3> hi all!
[17:02] <linuxninja> miguelonnnn: No, that worn't work. You need to do some reading about how operating systems work before you try this on your own. I suggest you use a program and see how they do it.
[17:02] <miguelonnnn> hi !! remoteCTRL3
[17:02] <simran> my system is set to autologin and i dnt want ubunto to ask for a keyring everytime i boot...what to do?
[17:02] <James147> miguelonnnn: pendrive linux has more howtos on creating live usbs then,
[17:02] <grawity> simran: Set the keyring's password to an empty one.
[17:03] <simran> grawity how?
[17:03] <remoteCTRL3> can anyone tell me what i need to do in order not only to see "real" logins with last but also when someone enters a pwd on return from locked screen?
[17:03] <grawity> simran: Accessories -> Passwords and Encryption Keys
[17:03] <ckill> I have a typical linux mail server postfix....I would like to upgrade. This http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/ seemed to be a good guide what do yall think
[17:03] <James147> miguelonnnn: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/
[17:03] <simran> that was fast lol
[17:03] <miguelonnnn> lol linuxninja  i read the last month, eveyr day on wikipedia and many other sites about mbr, disks, operating  systems, bios, efi and so on. I thought i was prepared now :S
[17:03] <grawity> simran: Then click on the "Passwords" tab, right-click on the Login keyring, and choose Change Password
[17:04] <miguelonnnn> i'll try that james, thanks
[17:04] <linuxninja> miguelonnnn: There's a lot to learn. took me years before I got "some" of it ;)
[17:04] <sekaab> i got a problem with my mount system ... yesterday i had a read error as i played a dvd ... after that i ejected (manually) cleaned dvd and reinsertet but it didnt even recognized the eject provess ... an now i cant mount anything ... computer is not rebooted til now
[17:04] <jMyles> I want to vinagre into my desktop at home.  I have not set this up in advance, but I have SSH access.  vino-server is already running, but I think it is asking the user sitting there (nobody) for confirmation.  What can I do?
[17:04] <zagabar1> Is it possible to use Xming trough a putty window running screen
[17:04] <miguelonnnn> i'll stay in here ok? keep up speaking linuxninja hehe
[17:04] <zagabar1> ?
[17:05] <miguelonnnn> lol!! years :S
[17:05] <simran> grawity thanks

[17:05] <remoteCTRL3> unop: bazhang any of you dudes there?
[17:05] <kevdog> zagabar1: do you have a local xserver running?
[17:05] <ckill> I have ubuntu loaded on a 750GB 7200RPM drive.  I also have a 300GB 10000RPM drive in the machine and would like to move the entire OS over to it...any ideas?
[17:05] <zagabar1> kevdog: xming.
[17:06] <gzrb1> hi ive got ubuntu installed on one partition. if if delete everything in the ubuntu partition in windows and restart the computer will i have any problems with the boot manager or will i just boot into windows normally
[17:06] <kevdog> zagabar1: That's a local xserver?
[17:06] <llutz> gzrb1:  restore windows-MBR first
[17:06] <James147> gzrb1: grub will fail to load anything and you wont bable to boot
[17:06] <sekaab> i got a problem with my mount system ... yesterday i had a read error as i played a dvd ... after that i ejected (manually) cleaned dvd and reinsertet but it didnt even recognized the eject provess ... an now i cant mount anything ... computer is not rebooted til now
[17:06] <IdleOne> !fixmbr | gzrb1
[17:07] <gzrb1> !fixmbr
[17:07] <James147> gzrb1: after you delete ubuntu you should be able to use the windows recovery disk to restore the mbr, but read up on it first
[17:08] <gzrb1> ok thanks guys!
[17:08] <apparle> llutz: thanks
[17:08] <cornjuliox> hey, what are the default permissions for /dev/dsp? i did a chmod 660 on them and would like to change them back :-/
[17:08] <ckill> I have ubuntu loaded on a 750GB 7200RPM drive.  I also have a 300GB 10000RPM drive in the machine and would like to move the entire OS over to it...any ideas?
[17:08] <zagabar1> kevdog: Oh, you mean on the server side? Yeah. It works. When I start mirc through wine, I get the window through putty into xming, but then if I exit it, start screen up and then start mirc again, it doesn't work.
[17:08] <jMyles> I'm looking for help VNCing into my home computer.  I have SSH access.
[17:09] <llutz> ckill:  use rsync/tar/cp or whatever you want to copy. configure fstab and grub after copying
[17:09] <chris99> If you can boot windows you can use a program called mbrfix find it using google or cnet download
[17:09] <void1> hi, im trying to share the internet connection with nat and iptables ( ubuntu 8.04 ) but im not getting it, can some one help me ou indicate a tutorial? OBS: with firestarter the share works
[17:09] <llutz> !ics | void1
[17:09] <IdleOne> chris99: why use a third party app when he can do it from his windows cd?
[17:09] <bjorkintosh> is there ANY reason that aplay -l will give me a listing in the console but refuse to work in an xterm?
[17:10] <kevdog> zagabar1: Lets start over -- the concept of client/server is messed up when it comes to x.  For the connecting ssh client (I guess the one running putty in your situation), there has to be on this machine a X server running.  The X server is on the client machine
[17:10] <chris99> If you have windows and can boot it is faster than waiting for your cd drive to get the point were you can do  a repair
[17:10] <simran> one last problem - there is a hidden fat32 recovery partition that show in ubuntu and can even be mounted, this drive doesnt show in fstab, however does show when fdisk -l and the drive has * under the "boot" column as shown here -->
[17:10] <ckill> llutz "configure fstab and grub after copying" this is what I need to understand better?  what do I need to do because the drive I am going to is actually smaller.
[17:10] <simran> http://paste.ubuntu.com/258174/grawityhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/258174/grawity
[17:11] <chris99> simran is this an acer?
[17:11] <zagabar1> kevdog: I see. Yeah, that is then Xming. I have it running in my task bar and it works for applications run outside screen
[17:11] <llutz> ckill:  UUIDs will change and possibly partition-number
[17:11] <simran> chris99 asus
[17:11] <iceroot> how to set ksnapshot as default if pressing the print-key? because it is much better then the gnome-screenshot-tool.
[17:11] <llutz> ckill:  size doesn't matter
[17:11] <PC-KoPaT> test
[17:11] <simran> its been bugging the hell out of me for ages (2 days) lol
[17:11] <iceroot> PC-KoPaT: success
[17:11] <PC-KoPaT> thank
[17:12] <simran> because its my kids laptop and i dont want him messing around with the recovery partition
[17:12] <void1> tks!
[17:12] <ckill> Thats good to know thanks
[17:12] <kevdog> zagabar1: Did you set up your sshd.conf file to be able to forward connections and then when you logged in from the client did you pass the -x flag?
[17:12] <llutz> ckill:  you also will have to reinstall grub to partition or mbr of the new disk
[17:12] <sekaab> i got a problem with my mount system ... yesterday i had a read error as i played a dvd ... after that i ejected (manually) cleaned dvd and reinsertet but it didnt even recognized the eject provess ... an now i cant mount anything ... computer is not rebooted til now
[17:12] <ckill> OK so how about grub do I use live cd to get that back...yes I knwo a noob
[17:13] <chris99> simram could be the same as aser then. Acer uses this for the restore partition is that on acer if you have linux installed it is useless and will not work, you have to restore the windows mbr first
[17:13] <zagabar1> kevdog: Yup. As I said, I get Xming windows when running stuff from putty. The problem is when I start screen.
[17:13] <llutz> !mbr |ckill
[17:13] <llutz> ckill:  not sure but i guess you'll find needed info there ^^
[17:13] <kevdog> zagabar1: what's the problem with screen?
[17:14] <ckill> i appreciate this
[17:14] <ckill> are yall familiar with mail servers? llutz
[17:15] <zagabar1> kevdog: I start up screen to run mirc inside it so that I can close the putty window and let it be run in the background. But when I start screen, and from that session start mirc.exe, it fails to find my X-server
[17:15] <llutz> ckill:  not really
[17:15] <zagabar1> kevdog: but when I run mirc.exe without starting screen, then it workd
[17:15] <llutz> ckill:  but postfix is very good documented :)
[17:16] <mementomori> hi
[17:16] <ckill> Thanks that is what I have set up now....I have new to this job and I am having to learn what is alreasy here...going backwards
[17:16] <kevdog> zagabar1: That's one of the mysteries of the X windowing system I know nothing about. Probably has something to do with display variable, but who knows?  There is always cygwin X you could try
[17:17] <pedrocr> !intel
[17:17] <ckill> It just seems antiquated with no imap or HTML support
[17:17] <Athen> is there a good way to recover passwords in firefox ?
[17:17] <zagabar1> kevdog: I see. So it should be possible to do X windowing from screen?
[17:17] <chris99> ckill you could install webmin it at least will give you some gui help
[17:17] <kevdog> zagabar1: I can't say that I've tried this over a ssh connection
[17:17] <mementomori> I've just installed jaunty on an acer aspire one d150 and internal mic is not working. I read here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne that it should work out of the box.
[17:17] <llutz> webmin sucks
[17:18] <ckill> I have webmin but i kinda breaks more than it fixes for me :?
[17:18] <oldude67> webmin is no longer supported in ubuntu
[17:18] <Myrtti> !webmin
[17:18] <ckill> It is debian with no GUI right now.
[17:19] <ckill> What about this guide?  http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/
[17:19] <mementomori> anyone?
[17:19] <chris99> sry didn't know that I have centos for server
[17:19] <simran> is grawty a bot?
[17:19] <kevdog> I used to like webmin -- too bad its broken
[17:19] <llutz> ckill:  servers won't need a GUI, just an editor
[17:19] <mementomori> !aspireone
[17:20] <mementomori> !aspire
[17:20] <simran> !asus
[17:20] <ckill> Right I use jed...I am getting along OK its just a lot to learn....fast
[17:20] <Terces> Does anyone here have advice on how to deal with adding or updating packages to Ubuntu systems which are no longer supported (like 7.04)?    (the repositories no longer work)
[17:20] <IdleOne> Terces: update
[17:20] <IdleOne> err upgrade
[17:21] <Terces> IdleOne: We have dozens of systems out there, and their all ssh-only access
[17:21] <Terces> IdleOne: so it's dangerous.
[17:21] <oldude67> eurythmia, please quit
[17:21] <chris99> llutz: besides gui's are good when you don't want to stand around all day telling window admin's how to do something
[17:21] <TriMe|> anyone here use a good program for video editing on ubuntu?
[17:21] <moustafaza> I keep on editing the time, but it keeps on changing back. Any ideas?
[17:22] <Explodus_> moustafaza, do you have the right time zone?
[17:22] <moustafaza> Yes.
[17:22] <moustafaza> Explodus_, Yes
[17:23] <moustafaza> Explodus_, The time has changed in Egypt it's not 6:23 because of fasting, while in the Ubuntu clock it says it's 7:23 which is the old timing.
[17:24] <Explodus_> moustafaza, i know for US you can choose -6GMT or -5/-6GMT for DST not sure about Egypt time though
[17:24] <Explodus_> moustafaza, may want to check if its a DST issue if its only off by 1 hr
[17:24] <jeeves_Moss> are there any clients that will listen on the local subnet and show all of the computers that are activly broadcasting?  I know I can do it with nmap, but that takes forever
[17:25] <moustafaza> Explodus_, I'll check it out thanks.
[17:25] <TriMe|> I tell ya what i am having nothing but problems with Flash, and using Youtube videos if i select HQ or HD it just locks up. but in Vista it loads straight away...
[17:25] <TriMe|> whats going on linux.
[17:25] <sekaab> i got a problem with my mount system ... yesterday i had a read error as i played a dvd ... after that i ejected (manually) cleaned dvd and reinsertet but it didnt even recognized the eject provess ... an now i cant mount anything ... computer is not rebooted til now
[17:25] <Terces> moustafaza: The hour changes for Ramadan? Why?
[17:25] <cornjuliox> how do I see what application is using my audio device for playback?
[17:25] <cornjuliox> i'm not getting any sound at all out of this thing
[17:25] <jeeves_Moss> TriMe|, there's LOTS of howtos on google to repair the youtube problem
[17:25] <kesou> i use a python lib to upload files on web server but on ubuntu 9.04 64B it's very very slow does anybody have a solution please?
[17:26] <TriMe|> jeevee_Moss thanks man
[17:26] <TriMe|> will check it out
[17:26] <moustafaza> Terces, So that we eat earlier. We have some stupid people here who manage such things.
[17:26] <bjorkintosh> i must be going mad ...
[17:26] <bjorkintosh> are there programs which run on a console but not in a terminal?
[17:26] <Terces> moustafaza: Wierd... :)
[17:26] <eurythmia> TriMe|, that question seems very much like a troll. Instead of asking what's wrong with linux, try explaining what software you are using, and what you are trying to do. Asking for help, rather than complaining, will get you more help in these circles.
[17:26] <jeeves_Moss> TriMe|, not trying to be a d**k, but it's too hard to explain, it's just easier to get the howto.  it's a problem with flash.  I found it was just easier to install directly from www.flash.com
[17:28] <TriMe|> eurythmia: I wasnt complaining.... i was just saying its starting to get on my nerves... and i have uninstalled it and tried to install manually and it didnt work. and i havent bothered with it lately has i have been busy working but now i am back on the net using it more often now i am wondering why there isn't an update for this fix yet thats all, or is there another solution to getting this problem resolved.
[17:29] <eurythmia> TriMe|, what, exactly, is the problem? Is the video *lagging* every 10 seconds or so? Are you using firefox?
[17:29] <TriMe|> jeeves_Moss: thats cool man i wasn't having ago at anyone. i just qurious to know if anyone else having the same problem
[17:29] <Athen> I seem to be having issues with evolution's calendar segfaulting when I try to set event occurences
[17:30] <miguelonnnn> vale ya esta claro
[17:30] <jeeves_Moss> TriMe|, yep.  make sure you strip EVERYTHING that has to do with flash out of your system first.  otherwise, it's a pain to clean up the broken packages
[17:30] <miguelonnnn> ha tocao buscar en ingles pero ya esta, fdisk no hace formateos
[17:30] <miguelonnnn> solo particiona
[17:30] <TriMe|> I am using 9.04 .28 Kernal, Firefox. ADSL2+ Max download of around 1.5Mb a second. and fair decent computer.. so its nothing to do with my Hardware or Internet connection. it has to be Drivers of Either Firefox or Flash.

[17:32] <GPL> how can i get my webcam to work, LOL
[17:32] <eurythmia> TriMe|, you should read this article, it may fix your issues: http://lifehacker.com/5342636/how-to-fix-annoying-youtube-jumpiness-in-firefox
[17:32] <TriMe|> jeeves_Moss: Ok man I'll see how i go i'll play around with it... is there any type of command you know of in terminal i can type to just remove all Flash?
[17:32] <TriMe|> eurythmia: Thanks Mate will do
[17:32] <GPL> i tried Cheese, aMSN, etc. etc. my webcam = Microsoft Lifecam VX-1000
[17:32] <eurythmia> TriMe|, not a problem. Hope it helps.
[17:33] <maddi1> Hi, everybody, i'm facing the following problem: I cannot enter my ubuntu system, cause of GRUB Error 17, says, he cannot find menue.lst, which is no wonder, as the boot folder for some reason is empty. I made a rescue Cd and tried to install the base system again, but for some reason (inapropriate ioctl) it wouldn't do it, anybody?
[17:33] <cornjuliox> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio <--is the stuff on this page already done for you when using 8.04?
[17:33] <jeeves_Moss> TriMe|, try "sudo apt-get remove --purge flash* --dry-run"  (of course without the ""s)
[17:33] <xangua> commander_: what version of ubuntu ¿
[17:33] <commander_> 9.04 jaunty
[17:33] <Explodus_> GDM dead locks when login screen appears http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1248604 -- if anybody has ideas pls comment
[17:34] <xangua> commander_: do you got pidgin from the launchpad repository ¿¿
[17:34] <commander_> ?
[17:34] <simran> Is it normal for mplayer not to be able to play .flv files downloaded from youtube??
[17:35] <eurythmia> jeeves_Moss, the jaunty repos have the *newest* adobe flash installer ... clearing out and reinstalling flash probably won't help at all. Firefox still has some bugs that make flash playback a little jumpy though, like auto-saving tabs every 10 seconds (which takes up far too many resources)
[17:35] <xangua> simran: yes, use a gstreamer player or vlc
[17:35] <Bloe> hi
[17:36] <Bloe> k heb een vraagje ,,
[17:36] <maddi1> ﻿Hi, everybody, i'm facing the following problem: I cannot enter my ubuntu system, cause of GRUB Error 17, says, he cannot find menue.lst, which is no wonder, as the boot folder for some reason is empty. I made a rescue Cd and tried to install the base system again, but for some reason (inapropriate ioctl) it wouldn't do it, anybody? I'm using 8.04 Hardy, the GRUB however, was installed by SUSE 10.something
[17:36] <jeeves_Moss> eurythmia, good point.  I just noticed a noticable preformance inprovment when I installed from source and not the repo
[17:36] <simran> xangua: wont gstreamer codecs conflict with my w32codecs package/mplayer
[17:36] <Bloe> om meer ruimte te krijgen op de partitie waar ubuntu op staat hoe moet je dit doen
[17:36] <jeeves_Moss> eurythmia, I need to squeeze ALL the preformance I can out of this little netbook
[17:37] <xangua> simran: i've never used w32 codecs
[17:37] <eurythmia> jeeves_Moss, should be important to note that "installing from source" isn't ... they're still binaries ... although, the fact that adobe now provides their binaries in *.deb format *is* nice :)
[17:37] <simran> ill use vlc then
[17:37] <simran> :)
[17:37] <simran> thanks
[17:37] <jeeves_Moss> eurythmia, this is true.  you'll have to excuse me.  I'm working on less than 4 hours of sleep in 48
[17:38] <elux> is there a simpler app like sysv-rc-conf that doesnt require perl?
[17:38] <eurythmia> jeeves_Moss, eeew :P
[17:38] <balachmar> Where should I be for ubuntu netbook remix questions?
[17:38] <eurythmia> elux, heh ... pretty much everything these days requires perl.
[17:38] <elux> gotcha
[17:38] <elux> so be it then
[17:39] <remoteCTRL3> when a man page says "SEE ALSO pam(3), PAM(8), pam_start(3) how do i invoke that?
[17:39] <eurythmia> elux, it's okay though ... perl is *extremely* handy to have on hand ... did you know that there's a "rename" *program* that uses perl regexes to batch rename files?
[17:39] <jeeves_Moss> eurythmia, I've been trying to get international shipping for some IBM X-Series servers figured out and delivered before we move the office @ the end of the month.  I don't think the UPS guy is going to like me
[17:40] <elux> eurythmia: cool. im more of a ruby guy is all :)

[17:40] <eurythmia> elux, ruby has its uses, but for any form of string manipulation or data parsing, perl is simply phenomenal. Wouldn't want to write a large application in perl though ;)
[17:40] <elux> eurythmia: ruby has the same regex as perl
[17:41] <elux> but no biggie. i've installed it. thanks :)

[18:18] <apparle> opp: I think you should repair GRUB by booting to live CD
[18:18] <opp> krammer_: thanks
[18:18] <krammer_> good luck
[18:18] <opp> apparle: thanks
[18:19] <apparle> westherm: so you are unable to start even after clean install..........
[18:19] <opp> apparle: how to repaire ? thanks
[18:20] <westherm> apparle: oh no, after the clean install everything is fine, I just haven't started dual monitors, because i don't want the same thing to happen again
[18:20] <Organzzz> hey can anybody help me with VNC?
[18:20] <Brian__> ok i just logged into Openbox but the screen is blank  i can rite click and open apps but the screen is blank
[18:21] <Zinnoc> Hello, i have problem with bulgarian subtitles on Ubuntu Linux 9.04 ?
[18:21] <Brian__> is there a panel or somthing like one
[18:21] <iiiii> quit
[18:21] <remoteCTRL> unop: thank gawd man:)
[18:21] <unop> remoteCTRL, hey, what's up?
[18:22] <apparle> westherm: can't help with dual monitors coz I never used them..........better ask these guys to help you with dual monitors rather than asking boot problems
[18:22] <remoteCTRL> unop: do you happen to know how i can get gnome/pamd/whatever to log pwd entries after a locked screen?
[18:22] <remoteCTRL> unop:  hey dude, long time no see, hows it goin?:)
[18:22] <arik> hi...its me again
[18:22] <westherm> apparle: thanks anyway
[18:22] <unop> remoteCTRL, been a little busy, but yea, good good
[18:22] <unop> remoteCTRL, you mean failed password attempts?
[18:22] <westherm> Anybody know anything about dual monitors?
[18:23] <remoteCTRL> unop: busy is always good, prevents from getting bored*g*
[18:23] <arik> help: i installed 8.10 and after installation, ive got a big black border around my installation. how can i go fullscreen?
[18:23] <unop> hey Organzzz, let's keep it in here.
[18:23] <hlfshell> Hi all - I am trying to get a serial driver touch screen to work in ubuntu. I've been following a guide and have edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf to get it to work. using cat ont the device shows output when touching it, but there is no response in X despite the xorg.conf edits.
[18:23] <hlfshell> any ideas?
[18:24] <remoteCTRL> unop: nope i need some statistics how often i leave my desk and for how long and at what peak times, and i dont want to keep a list but to see it in some log file (when i leave my desk i lock the screen)
[18:24] <arik> help: i installed 8.10 and after installation, ive got a big black border around my installation. how can i go fullscreen?
[18:24] <hlfshell> arik, did you try the display settings in the System bar?
[18:25] <hlfshell> westherm, i am currently running two monitors in ubuntu. what do you need to know?
[18:25] <arik> hlfshell: it only shows 800x600 nothing more than that
[18:25] <hlfshell> arik - is this a laptop or regular computer?
[18:25] <sierinjs1> does ubuntu have gimp by default?
[18:25] <rsk> sierinjs1: yes
[18:25] <arik> hlfshell: laptop, old one
[18:25] <sierinjs1> rsk: \o/ then i'm having it!
[18:25] <unop> remoteCTRL, hmm, i'm not sure - there's a gnome app (forgot what it's called - something like 'typing break') that might have some logging facility to see when you are most active, you could use that to determine the periods when you aren't.
[18:26] <unop> remoteCTRL, can i ask why you need this?
[18:26] <remoteCTRL> unop: that comes quite close but isn't enuff i am afraid as a tend to read a lot in my linux books...*g*
[18:26] <hlfshell> arik - type this into a terminal : sudo xrandr -q. use a paste bin to gimme the output
[18:27] <elux> how do i turn on vim syntax highlighting? syntax on tells me i dont have the option, but ive installed the vim-runtime package..?
[18:27] <hlfshell> no . on the -q
[18:27] <remoteCTRL> unop: so that would completely falsify the result...
[18:27] <westherm> hlfshell: I just upgraded to jaunty, and would like to run dual monitors, After the first install, I did, in fact, run dual monitors, but after the first reboot, I would select my OS in grub, and then a black screen with some colored lines at the top, and no splash screen or progress on the boot
[18:27] <hlfshell> westherm - I'm sorry but I never had that problem... I don't know where to start. :-/
[18:27] <westherm> hlfshell: thanks anyway
[18:27] <pepperphd> elux: :syntax enable  ---- does that work?
[18:27] <unop> elux, try the vim-full package
[18:27] <hlfshell> westherm: good luck.
[18:28] <unop> remoteCTRL, hmm, not sure I know of anything to help you there then
[18:28] <elux> thx
[18:28] <arik> screen 0: minimum 640x480, current 800x600, maximum 800x600 deafult connected 800x600+0+0 0mmx0mm
[18:28] <arik> hlfshell: screen 0: minimum 640x480, current 800x600, maximum 800x600 deafult connected 800x600+0+0 0mmx0mm
[18:28] <remoteCTRL> unop: k, thanks for the attempt tho:) gonna write a thread in gnome forum i guess...:)
[18:29] <Um_cara_qualquer> is there some way to install Windows through ubuntu?
[18:29] <hlfshell> arik -  try the solution found in this forum post. http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1041964.html
[18:29] <hlfshell> arik - worked for my old laptop when that happened to me.
[18:29] <arik> okay will try thanks!!
[18:29] <hlfshell> Um_cara_qualquer -  you mean like a virtual machine? or on a seperate partition?
[18:30] <unop> remoteCTRL, something else that might help is the gnome-power-manager's - power trend graphs. you could find a correlation between power usage and actual usage, not very reliable and also might not work on desktop machines.
[18:30] <Um_cara_qualquer> another HD
[18:30] <hlfshell> Um_cara_qualquer not sure, sorry.
[18:30] <Um_cara_qualquer> hmm
[18:30] <westherm> Is there anyway to save a previous config so that if changes don't allow me to boot I can revert?
[18:30] <Um_cara_qualquer> np
[18:30] <Um_cara_qualquer> anyone else?
[18:31] <iznogood> installing buntu to md raid (/boot on a usb stick) do I need the alternate install cd or is it possible with the live cd?
[18:32] <James147> westherm: what graphics card do you have?
[18:32] <westherm> something shitty and integrated, its a laptop
[18:32] <westherm> james147: one sec
[18:32] <James147> westherm: basically is it  nvida?
[18:32] <westherm> ati
[18:33] <remoteCTRL> unop: also a good idea but also to vague i am afraid...
[18:33] <apparle> westherm: which ATI card
[18:33] <arand> Would anyone like to confirm/refute this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/418135 (who does not mind copying whole of /home/user)
[18:33] <remoteCTRL> unop: never mind i will work my way through this in some forums...:)
[18:33] <westherm> jame147: lspci tells me its a radeon x1200
[18:33] <guntbert> Um_cara_qualquer: why do want to do that?
[18:34] <ruben23> hi whats the problem when i ssh and i get connection refused....?
[18:34] <Um_cara_qualquer> to be with two OS
[18:34] <guntbert> ruben23: the ssh is probably not running
[18:34] <apparle> westherm: well then you can't use the officially(fglrx) drivers from ATI
[18:35] <westherm> james147: I remember in gutsy I had to enable proprietary drivers, but not in jauntty apparently
[18:35] <guntbert> !dualboot | Um_cara_qualquer, please see
[18:35] <unop> remoteCTRL, another idea - gnome-screensaver has a --debug flag, so you could use it to collect debugging info and then use something like perl/awk to parse the data into some useful information.
[18:35] <Um_cara_qualquer> plus some games doesn't work on ubuntu
[18:36] <Um_cara_qualquer> hmm
[18:36] <James147> westherm: sorry, but dont know much about ati graphics, from what apparle said you cant use the proprity drivers though :(
[18:36] <westherm> apparle: what do I do about that?
[18:36] <graingert> !question | Tashy
[18:37] <apparle> westherm: that's the problem...........you have to use the opensource drivers and obviously they are not so good yet...........maybe they will be one day..........
[18:37] <James147> westherm: but my guess would be that dual screen support on the open source ones sucks (it dose for nvida at least)
[18:37] <cytherea> my dual screen works perfect with nvidia
[18:37] <apparle> westherm: and by default you are using the opensource drivers
[18:37] <westherm> yeah...
[18:37] <James147> apparle: probally only when nvida or ati start realsing the spces for their cards, which i dont ever see hapening?
[18:37] <guntbert> westherm: on my x1300 the opensource drivers work fine
[18:38] <James147> guntbert: for dual screen display?
[18:38] <apparle> James147: But I think they realease the Specs for the cards when they are declared legacy
[18:38] <mhall119|work> James147: AMD/ATI have released a large number of specs
[18:38] <westherm> apparle: its too bad it works right away when you config it
[18:38] <graingert> James147: ati already open sourced their drivers
[18:38] <James147> apparle: which means never for the newer better cards
[18:39] <mhall119|work> graingert: they didn't open source the code, they just released specs
[18:39] <mhall119|work> unless they've done something I haven't heard about
[18:39] <guntbert> James147: I'm using a beamer now and then, that works fine - I don't know about side by side though
[18:39] <graingert> mhall119|work: oh, that is the crazy-ness
[18:40] <Um_cara_qualquer> guntbert, thx a lot man
[18:40] <apparle> James147: yes.............but mine is quite old so I am waiting :)
[18:40] <graingert> aparantlar nvidia want to OS their drivers but can't becuase they outsourced some codings
[18:40] <guntbert> Um_cara_qualquer: yw :-)
[18:40] <graingert> (ala java - who finally descrogged their code)
[18:40] <Um_cara_qualquer> i think i will disconnect the other HD... so it won't be any mistake
[18:40] <graingert> (like ages agoo) - am I right peepz?
[18:41] <James147> graingert: relly hope they do at some point :) not like they are makeing any money from the drivers :S
[18:41] <graingert> James147: true
[18:41] <mhall119|work> graingert: that still shouldn't stop them from releasing specs
[18:41] <apparle> I agree............rather they will sell more if the drivers are better supported
[18:42] <graingert> mhall119|work: perhaps they don't want people to copy the boards - but it will take a f off massive companny to have the oomf to actually build the cards from the specs
[18:42] <James147> opensourceing free software, can see more down sides then upsides to it :S
[18:43] <Guest1283> I have a camera plugged in, trying to delete files, it keeps saying that it is "read only." I try to change the permissions but it just says the same thing.
[18:43] <graingert> James147: don't say that here... :/
[18:43] <graingert> Guest1283: problem with fuse or something
[18:43] <miguelonnnn> i, i'm back. Well i still have questions
 Guest1283: problem with fuse or something
[18:43] <James147> <-- SHOOT3R (n=ubuntu@173.80.17.95) has quit (Client Quit)
[18:44] <James147> : ment carnt ^^
[18:44] <miguelonnnn> first, must the mbr to be into the fat32?
[18:44] <Guest1283> Anyone know how to fix this?
[18:44] <miguelonnnn> i mean, the partition table  & grub
[18:44] <mhall119|work> James147: biggest upside is that nVidia wouldn't have to keep up with Linux Kernel development
[18:44] <miguelonnnn> James147!! i were in linuxpendrives hehe but it didin't help much :S
[18:45] <Berzerker> Guest1283, card is read only?
[18:45] <mhall119|work> things like Kernel Mode Switching would be added to their drivers for them
[18:45] <Berzerker> check the little switch on it
[18:46] <James147> mhall119|work: ment i cant see why it would be a bad idea... came out wroing :)
[18:46] <Guest1283> got it
[18:46] <Guest1283> Stupid lock was on the card. Hah, thanks.
[18:46] <Transxendental> hi all. i wanna install a linux but i cant decide which to choose . people suggested me ubuntu and fedora but i wanna have a multimedia editor . so there is a linux named Musix . what can u suggest?
[18:46] <James147> miguelonnnn: what are you trying to do exactly?
[18:46] <carrie_555> Can someone help me with DynDNS? I have a domain from dyndns. The problem is that I always have to login to the dyndns in order to refresh the ip. I believe that I should install something in my ubuntu to "tell" dyndns which is my current ip.. Does anyone know what should I do? If i have to install a program, which one should I install and how to configure it?
[18:46] <mhall119|work> James147: a lot of the time these companies work around defects in their hardware using driver code
[18:46] <mhall119|work> or implement new features purely in software
[18:46] <grawity> carrie_555: Search Synaptic for DynDNS updater.
[18:47] <carrie_555> ok
[18:47] <miguelonnnn> James147, i'm trying to make an xubuntu usb installer
[18:47] <Guest1283> Transxendental, if you want multimedia editing I would try Ubuntu Studio http://ubuntustudio.org/
[18:47] <guntbert> Transxendental: please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic - this chanell here is strictly for support
[18:47] <mhall119|work> open sourcing their driver means giving all that advantage to their competitors
[18:47] <guntbert> *channel, even
[18:47] <westherm> do you think if i installed the linux drivers from the ati website I might have a better result?
[18:47] <guntbert> !ot | mhall119|work
[18:47] <mhall119|work> westherm: if the driver supports your card
[18:47] <miguelonnnn> but i want to learn how to do it by myself (without next, next, next, finish programs help)
[18:47] <race321> francais
[18:47] <mhall119|work> guntbert: sorry
[18:48] <Pav> irc channel for netbook remix -- does it exist?
[18:48] <race321> qui parles francais
[18:48] <James147> miguelonnnn: as i said before the simplest way is to use usb-creator, but if you want to do it manually troll ofver pendrivelinux for a few days untill you can get it to work
[18:48] <race321> bonsoir
[18:48] <guntbert> !fr | race321

[18:48] <Alvinware> !my
[18:48] <Guest49658> can someone help me please?
[18:49] <Ben64> !ask
[18:49] <guntbert> !askthebot | Alvinware
[18:49] <westherm> mhall|119work: its in the list
[18:49] <miguelonnnn> i searched all the web, but there's no specific explanations there. All i found are step by step howtos
[18:49] <Alvinware> !ru
[18:49] <James147> miguelonnnn: pendrive linux is the best source for what you want, but i never really got much to work on there and it took hours of trying
[18:49] <Guest49658> K i just installed Ubuntu and the questio is how big must be the "Filesystem" drive?
[18:50] <mhall119|work> westherm: is the version different than what is in Ubuntu's repositories?
[18:50] <westherm> But to reitterate, is there anyway I can set up something analagous to a "system restore point" from windows?
[18:50] <miguelonnnn> anyway, it isn't actually about what i want, but how i want
[18:50] <James147> miguelonnnn: but i got the jist of, copy the contents of an .ios to the drive, edit somefiles to do with the boot loader and install a boot loader
[18:50] <mhall119|work> Guest49658: 6 GB is, I think, the recommended minimum size
[18:50] <guntbert> miguelonnnn: did you ask in #xubuntu ?
[18:50] <Guest49658> well i have it 40GB... i hope it was wise? if i want to install losts of programs and games and stuff?
[18:51] <westherm> No idea
[18:51] <carrie_555> grawity, I remember, now, that I have alreayd installed "ddclient" (i believe this is what u mean). But I have no idea How to use it. I just ran it, and I have an error, http://pastebin.ca/1541780 Do you know anything about this ?
[18:51] <mhall119|work> Guest49658: 40GB should last you for a while
[18:51] <westherm> lavagolemking: nice to see a fellow buckeye
[18:51] <Ben64> Guest49658: yeah, no problem having bigger
[18:51] <Guest49658> k another question, ive downloaded ATI drivers but when im trying to run them it askes me to use a Gold User or something like that
[18:51] <miguelonnnn> i mean it doesn't matter if i'm going to put an xubuntu installer, or my last party pics, all i want to know is how can i make an fdisk partition starting at and specific block & ending at another one
[18:52] <miguelonnnn> sry guntbert , but this isn't about xubuntu
[18:52] <James147> miguelonnnn: if you want a detailed explnation you have to research how the linux system works, and the boot process
[18:52] <mhall119|work> Guest49658: are there instructions on ATI's site for installing those drivers?
[18:52] <Guest49658> idk... hold on ill check
[18:52] <guntbert> miguelonnnn: sorry, then - I obviously misread
[18:52] <mhall119|work> usually using the Ubuntu provided drivers is best
[18:53] <Guest49658> well where can i find ubuntu provided files for my ATI card?
[18:53] <mhall119|work> Guest49658: System->Administration->Hardware Drivers
[18:53] <miguelonnnn> i read the manpages for fdisk and mkfs, but that's little help, i couldn't find a "-P flag for saying start partition at Head 1 cylinder 2 sector 1 , and finish at H2C3S2, that's what i would like
[18:53] <James147> miguelonnnn: when partition with fdisk, when you create a partition you select the first and last block you want to use...
[18:53] <miguelonnnn> how?
[18:54] <carrie_555> Got it !
[18:54] <carrie_555> working !
[18:54] <carrie_555> My configuration file had some mistakes
[18:54] <miguelonnnn> great carrie! gratz
[18:54] <James147> miguelonnnn: sudo fdisk   will take you to the fdisk prompt, type p to list  partitons, m for help
[18:54] <James147> miguelonnnn: sudo fdisk /dev/sdXX sorry
[18:54] <miguelonnnn> ok i'll go there thanks again james, brb
[18:55] <James147> miguelonnnn: where /dev/sdXX is the partiton you want, make sure you get the right one or you WILL lose data
[18:55] <carrie_555> 1 question: I belive that ddclient should be ran every time my computer startsm right? How do I do that ?
[18:55] <ubuntu> hi all
[18:56] <Lavagolemking1> Any time I try to install software from the repository I get the message that the software can't be verified.
[18:56] <miguelonnnn> ok James147 , thanks again i'll keep you informed bout my progress :)
[18:56] <James147> Lavagolemking1: sounds like a gpg key issure, did you add any extra repos?
[18:57] <Lavagolemking1> None.
[18:57] <Lavagolemking1> It
[18:57] <Guest49658> Can someone give me a link to a guide for ATI drivers installation?

[19:04] <makasu26> how do you i add my users to sudoers files so that i can make one into admin?
[19:04] <mhall119|work> A[D]minS: forcing it may make it continue with the removal, even if it encounters errors
[19:04] <Lavagolemking1> It seems in the past couple minutes it stopped.
[19:04] <erUSUL> makasu26: add the user to the admin group
[19:04] <raylu> A[D]minS, mhall119|work: given that it's the first file in the list, i bet the installation went screwy but the package made it's way into your db.
[19:04] <mhall119|work> makasu26: adding the user to the "admin" group will give them sudo access
[19:05] <A[D]minS> raylu ok so ?what shall i do
[19:05] <James147> Lavagolemking1: fixed its self? nice when that happens
[19:05] <A[D]minS> any idea?
[19:05] <Karmic> makasu26: using visudo command as root ( su - )
[19:05] <neurochrome> so _no-one_ here is running ubuntu-one syncronisation package?!
[19:05] <raylu> carrie_555: you could mess with your sudoers, but at this point i think you should reconsider your solution
[19:05] <mhall119|work> neurochrome: I am
[19:05] <A[D]minS> sudo dpkg --configure postfix  didn't help
[19:05] <graingert> neurochrome: it;s a bit rubbish
[19:05] <Lavagolemking1> It did this all last night, and again just a few minutes ago, but it asked "Install these packages without verification" listing all the programs for apt/synaptic and their dependencies.
[19:05] <raylu> A[D]minS: try reinstalling postfix
[19:05] <neurochrome> mhall119|work, does your package update
[19:05] <mhall119|work> neurochrome: nope
[19:06] <neurochrome> graingert, it's still beta
[19:06] <makasu26> i sorry i tried to use sudo and su but all i get is  user is not in suders file
[19:06] <westherm> alas, my kernel, she is too new and my card, too old
[19:06] <A[D]minS> raylu: same error
[19:06] <mhall119|work> I installed it when they first made it available
[19:06] <neurochrome> mhall119|work, yeah, a bit weird huh?!
[19:06] <neurochrome> mhall119|work, same here
[19:06] <cherva> what was the command to frize a package so it doesn't get updated ?
[19:06] <raylu> Lavagolemking1, James147: is there any message at the end of "sudo apt-get update"?
[19:06] <mhall119|work> neurochrome: I just assumed they changed something while in development, and I"d have to remove and int reinstall
[19:06] <graingert> neurochrome: doesn't make it not crap
[19:06] <Karmic> makasu26: Have you tried su - ?
[19:07] <genii> cherva: There is no command for that. You have to pin the package in /etc/apt/prefereces file
[19:07] <neurochrome> graingert, what do you want? a cherry on top?  it sync files. period
[19:07] <Lavagolemking1> No (and there wasn't). However, from a different location it timed out on fetching one of the files.
[19:07] <carrie_555> raylu, there is no way to write a command like this: sudo program -pass=open_the_door        ?
[19:07] <genii> !pinning | cherva
[19:07] <mhall119|work> makasu26: you have to add your user account to the admin group
[19:07] <raylu> A[D]minS: dpkg -s postfix
[19:07] <neurochrome> mhall119|work, well apt realises there is an update available but holds back as if it were pinned or something?
[19:07] <Lavagolemking1> I ran it again today, and it completed, but I was still getting the error.
[19:07] <makasu26> yes i have tried su.it ask for  sudo password i put it in.then it wil say user is not in the sudoers file.
[19:08] <raylu> carrie_555: yes, but it's a very very bad idea, obviously. if you want to do that, i'd suggest editing /etc/sudoers instead
[19:08] <mhall119|work> neurochrome: could be a new dependency
[19:08] <cherva> genii:  thanks
[19:08] <Karmic> makasu26: not su try su -
[19:08] <mhall119|work> neurochrome: are you on 9.04?
[19:08] <genii> cherva: Welcome
[19:08] <neurochrome> mhall119|work, yes
[19:08] <A[D]minS> raylu: -s for info ?
[19:08] <makasu26> okay i will try
[19:08] <raylu> A[D]minS: status, yes
[19:08] <mhall119|work> neurochrome: I'm assuming they're now depending on some stuff from 9.10
[19:08] <A[D]minS> raylu: so what do u want from -s ?
[19:08] <mhall119|work> so it can't resolve dependencies for the new package, thus it won't upgrade
[19:08] <fahadsadah> grawity: Ping?
[19:08] <raylu> Karmic: why are we using su?
[19:08] <carrie_555> raylu, ok, I'll try to figure what are those 'sudoers'
[19:08] <raylu> A[D]minS: everything?
[19:08] <neurochrome> mhall119|work, maybe... though you'd expect it to be backported to jaunty for all the beta testers to use
[19:08] <makasu26> it ask for a passowrd that i dont know
[19:09] <grawity> fahadsadah: ?
[19:09] <mhall119|work> neurochrome: it's being included in Karmic as a default install, so probably all their efforts are there
[19:09] <A[D]minS> raylu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/258819/
[19:09] <mhall119|work> makasu26: are you the owner of that box?
[19:09] <James147> Lavagolemking1: what error message are you getting when you run what program?
[19:09] <neurochrome> mhall119|work, I know... still there's a whole load of beta testers on jaunty
[19:09] <Karmic> makasu26: sudo passwd and set your root password if you are the only current user
[19:09] <mhall119|work> neurochrome: true, have you asked the developers about it?
[19:09] <Lavagolemking1> Running programs, none. The error only occured with apt/synaptic.
[19:10] <neurochrome> mhall119|work, nope
[19:10] <mhall119|work> neurochrome: #ubuntuone
 Running programs, none. The error only occured with apt/synaptic.
[19:10] <James147> <-- rocky_ (n=rocky@adsl-76-212-65-126.dsl.klmzmi.sbcglobal.net) has quit (Client Quit)
[19:10] <raylu> A[D]minS: what happened when you tried to configure it?
[19:10] <neurochrome> mhall119|work, just wanted to make sure it wasn't just me!
[19:10] <makasu26> yes i just bought it 2 days ago but i wanted to chnage user anme adn pass.i made new admin user but then all sudden  root is disable and i cant unlock anything
[19:10] <mhall119|work> neurochrome: not just you
[19:10] <A[D]minS> raylu laptop restarted because it was out of charge!
[19:10] <James147> Lavagolemking1: can you pastebin the output form sudo aptitude update?
[19:10] <mhall119|work> makasu26: root should never have a password
[19:10] <neurochrome> !ubuntuone
[19:10] <neurochrome> !ubuntu-one
[19:10] <Guest49658> hey guys let me get this straight, in Ubuntu the main way to install programs is by downloading them from the "add\Remove" window again and again every time i reinstall windows or something?
[19:10] <raylu> !prefix | Lavagolemking1
[19:11] <mhall119|work> Guest49658: what?
[19:11] <makasu26> I sorry to ask what should i do after the su -?
[19:11] <ejv> Guest49658: or using the command line tool(s): apt-get / aptitude
[19:11] <mhall119|work> Guest49658: you should only have to download and install an application once
[19:11] <Karmic> makasu26: what outpude gives the following commands : 1) groups 2) users ?
[19:11] <Guest49658> as far as i undarstand, the main way to install software in ubuntu is by usong the Add/Remove application
[19:11] <jMyles> How can I replicate, using the CLI, the exact functionality that occurs when I mount a drive by clicking it in places-=>computer ?
[19:11] <Guest49658> eight?
[19:11] <raylu> A[D]minS: er... that's when you tried to configure it? or just now?
[19:11] <Guest49658> right*
[19:11]  * ejv rubs mhall119|work 
[19:11] <ejv> :D
[19:11] <mhall119|work> Guest49658: yes
[19:11] <mhall119|work> hi ejv
[19:11] <ejv> oh hi!
[19:11] <ejv> :p
[19:12] <raylu> James147, Lavagolemking1: for key issues, i suggest apt-get
[19:12] <PariBac> hi can anyone help me? i want to install blowfish on x-chat to encrypt my channel? how can i install it?
[19:12] <makasu26> When i bought it i delete some user that i thought was useless.I made mistake click on admin account it said u cant it make system unuseable.
[19:12] <A[D]minS> raylu: u said "<raylu> A[D]minS: what happened when you tried to configure it?" and i answered this question ..
[19:12] <Guest49658> but what if i want to install some application that is not on the list?
[19:12] <Lavagolemking1> To me, it looked like I was either missing a public key, or something worse.
[19:12] <makasu26> when try unlock the user and group i get could not authenictae
[19:12] <raylu> A[D]minS: ok... then try configuring it again
[19:13] <mhall119|work> makasu26: hmmmm, you may need to use a LiveCD to fix it then
[19:13] <A[D]minS> i said i want to force removing it
[19:13] <ejv> PariBac: download xfish.so, place it in /home/<username>/.xchat2; in xchat, load the binary
[19:13] <Lavagolemking1> James147: http://pastebin.ca/1541807
[19:13] <legend2440> Guest49658: there are only a limited amount of packages listed in Add/Remove. Synaptic will list all avsailable packages
[19:13] <makasu26> would it be a big problem to reinstall ubuntu on a usb?
[19:13] <mhall119|work> Guest49658: many 3rd parties provide applications as installable .DEB packages, or offer their own repositories that make their applications available to isntall from Add/Remove
[19:13] <PariBac> thx
[19:13] <ndan2> man i hate i rarely come in here to get help -- only when i have an issue i've worked on for hours n its rare i get a response at times.
[19:13] <imachine> hey anyone tried playing starcraft on ubuntu?
[19:13] <ndan2> imachine, yes i have
[19:13] <imachine> I have issues running it full screen
[19:13] <imachine> ndan2, can you run it fullscreen?
[19:14] <JohannesSM64> why do i have to grant myself permission to run shell scripts i make?
[19:14] <ndan2> imachine, no problems if u run it in a window with your resolution
[19:14] <imachine> I get the bottom half the screen cut off
[19:14] <JohannesSM64> does it enhance security or something?
[19:14] <Guest49658> ah so if lets say... i want a video editing software, i must go to synapics and search for video editing software?
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[19:14] <imachine> ndan2, yes but I want fullscreen, and I have a laptop 16:10
[19:14] <mhall119|work> JohannesSM64: chmod o+x $filename
[19:14] <raylu> JohannesSM64: so that you don't accidentally execute a text file
[19:14] <imachine> 1280x800
[19:14] <ejv> PariBac: Window > Plugins and Scripts > Load... > <navigate to .xchat2 and select plugin>
[19:14] <imachine> ndan2, it automatically goes fullscreen anyway
[19:14] <ndan2> imachine, choose run in window and choose resolution that is a little less then full screen
[19:14] <Karmic> makasu26: you don't have to reinstall, your problem has a solution, PM me and I will guide you
[19:14] <mhall119|work> Guest49658: yup, unless you know the name of the one you want
[19:14] <raylu> JohannesSM64: you can always just use sh filename.sh
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> is it possible to only have a single toolbar in gnome?? rather than one at the top and one at the bottom?
[19:14] <legend2440> Guest49658: yes
[19:14] <ndan2> imachine, not if u go to winecfg n choose load in a window
[19:14] <imachine> ndan2, hmm yes but that still doesn't seem like a good idea, overall...
[19:14] <ejv> PariBac: also, when addressing me, use "ejv:" before your comments, so I can see it, good luck
[19:15] <raylu> ActionParsnip: yes... right-click
[19:15] <imachine> ndan2, more like a hackish hack ;p
[19:15] <mhall119|work> ActionParsnip: sure, the gnome panels are hugely customizable
[19:15] <DigitalDarkness> Question, if someone has time: I was putting a older GTK1 rc file in my theme for Gnome I am working on as a complimentary theme for that last apt or two that still using it (e.i. XMMS). But it doesnt seem to be showing up. Even on older themes I did 4 years ago? Any ideas why on Ubu 904?
[19:15] <imachine> ndan2, I met some ubuntu forum thread saying about enabling a separate X server
[19:15] <ndan2> imachine, with wine sometimes to get stuff to work thats the only option.  its been over a year however
[19:15] <imachine> and running it on taht separate X
[19:15] <mhall119|work> you can have 1, 2, 3, 4, whatever
[19:15] <imachine> and setting it's max res to 640x480
[19:15] <ndan2> sudo lshw
[19:15] <imachine> and then X works great ;]
[19:16] <raylu> makasu26: for your own security, it's recommended you receive support in this channel and not in PMs
[19:16] <Guest49658> legend2440: i am currently downloading Wine, its a large file, if tommorow i will reinstall Ubuntu, where can i find this file on my HD to reinstall it?
[19:16] <Guest49658> or at least how can i back it up so that i wont have to redownload it
[19:16] <raylu> Guest49658: it will be cached, so you can even kill the download and resume it later. the answer to your question is /var/apt/cache, i think
[19:17] <ejv> PariBac: if you're using a 64bit install, you might have to compile your own, which isn't necessarily easy
[19:17] <myeyespy> How can one enter the "options" terminal meny through a command at the terminal?
[19:17] <Guest49658> what? what is /var/apt/cache?
[19:17] <mhall119|work> Guest49658: if you reinstall Ubuntu, you'll have to have separate partitions to not lose your data
[19:17] <Guest49658> i know
[19:17] <Guest49658> how can i back up Wine on a saparate partition?
[19:17] <raylu> Guest49658: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/linuxfiles.html
[19:18] <raylu> A[D]minS: but you may have to finish configuring it first
[19:18] <mhall119|work> Guest49658: you can point APT to use a folder on that partition for cache
[19:18] <myeyespy> nm got it
[19:18] <ndan2> sudo iwlist eth1 scan  --- eth1 no scan results  wtf why is it there i can put it into monitor mode etc... but it doesn't work!
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> raylu: got it, thought i'd give gnome a whirl see if its any better
[19:18] <Guest49658> plus /var/apt/cach doest work, it says "no such file or directory"
[19:18] <mhall119|work> Guest49658: or just use Keryx to download the package and all dependencies
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> Guest49658: check spelling, cache has an e on the end
[19:18] <fahadsadah> Guest49658: It's /var/apt/cache
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> Guest49658: use tab and you wont have that problem
[19:19] <A[D]minS> raylu: it give same error
[19:19] <Guest49658> i copy paste it
[19:19] <Guest49658> same error
[19:19] <raylu> Guest49658: i'm not sure about that path, but it's somewhere around there
[19:19] <raylu> A[D]minS: eh? what command did you run, and what error?
[19:19] <Guest49658> andrew@andrew-desktop:~$ /var/apt/cache
[19:19] <mhall119|work> Guest49658: it's /var/cache/apt, not /var/apt/cache
[19:19] <Guest49658> same error
[19:19] <lordnikon> how do i transfer my contact list from aol to evolution??
[19:20] <fahadsadah> lordnikon: You can't. AOL are bastards.
[19:20] <legend2440> Guest49658: its actually    /var/cache/apt/archives
[19:20] <mhall119|work> lordnikon: can you export it from AOL as LDIF?
[19:20] <jMyles> What command is run when one clicks on an unmounted drive in the "places" menu in order to mount it?
[19:20] <A[D]minS> raylu: sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix
[19:20] <fahadsadah> mhall119|work: AOL don't allow _any_ exporting.
[19:20] <fahadsadah> jMyles: mount
[19:20] <lordnikon> dont know how
[19:20] <A[D]minS> /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: postfix is broken or not fully installed
[19:20] <mhall119|work> jMyles: it runs several things to set it up the way it does
[19:20] <fahadsadah> See man mount
[19:20] <Berzerker> raylu, hi lol
[19:20] <raylu> Berzerker: hi
[19:20] <jMyles> mhall119|work:  I'm trying to replicate the exact functionality via SSH.  Do you know which commands I need to run?
[19:21] <fahadsadah> !pm | lordnikon
[19:21] <fahadsadah> lordnikon: In answer to your PM, yes, you have to do it the hard way.
[19:21] <dragon`> hey guys, how can i mount an internal hdd when im connecting using ubuntu livecd?
[19:21] <mhall119|work> jMyles: you'll have to read up on the "mount" command
[19:21] <jMyles> mhall119|work:  Alternatively, and I'm surprised to have been unable to find this via searching, how can I have those drives automatically mount as if I had clicked them?
[19:21] <lordnikon> ok thnx
[19:22] <fahadsadah> dragon`: Use mount.
[19:22] <fahadsadah> jMyles: Add them to /etc/fstab
[19:22] <mhall119|work> dragon`: mount it while the LiveCD is booting?
[19:22] <ndan2> dragon`, it should be something like mount /dev/sda(1) /mnt/xxxx
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> dragon`: provided the partitons are visible ni the output of: sudo fdisk -l   yes
[19:22] <jMyles> mhall119|work:  Well, I understand the mount command, and I can mount the drives no problem.  What I can't do is make them mount the way they do when I click them.
[19:22] <b_> I cannot get youtube to work in 8.04, any suggestions?
[19:22] <Guest49658> is there a guide for the top most usefull terminal commands? or a guide to the terminal/
[19:22] <mhall119|work> jMyles: I think you'll need a udev rule to do that
[19:22] <fahadsadah> jMyles: /etc/fstab
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> b_: install flash and enable java script
[19:23] <fahadsadah> !fstab | jMyles
[19:23] <b_> how do I enable java script
[19:23] <fahadsadah> b_: Where?
[19:23] <mhall119|work> b_: from Add/Remove programs, install Adobe Flash Player
[19:23] <fahadsadah> In Firefox, it's on by default.
[19:23] <exutable> Is anybody interested in collaborating on writing a driver for a fingerprint scanne? It is probably going to be written in C and is going to be approximately 300-1000 lines of code.  I can offer help via providing sniff logs, monetary donations and some programming help
[19:23] <raylu> A[D]minS: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-user@lists.debian.org/msg439732.html
[19:24] <fahadsadah> exutable: Try ##linux
[19:24] <exutable> thank you
[19:24] <kidblooper> maybe #programming
[19:24] <exutable> ok
[19:25] <exutable> all on freenode?
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> b_: edit -> prefs -> content tab -> enable javascript
[19:25] <fahadsadah> exutable: Lol!
[19:25] <exutable> lol what?
[19:25] <fahadsadah> Sorry, wrong line for wrong person in wrong channel
[19:25] <fahadsadah> exutable: Yes, all freenode.
[19:25] <exutable> I was like, wtf there are a lot of irc channels
[19:26] <exutable> servers*
[19:26] <fahadsadah> /list
[19:26] <fahadsadah> List of channels.
[19:26] <exutable> thanks bud
[19:26]  * OEP fears the /list
[19:26] <kidblooper> haha
[19:26] <makasu26> How do i add my user to sudoers files?
[19:26] <mhall119|work> don't use "/list", "/msg alis list" instead
[19:26] <fahadsadah> #ubuntu is the largest channel in freenode.
[19:26] <mhall119|work> makasu26: you need administrator access to do that
[19:26] <fahadsadah> makasu26: adduser youruser admin
[19:27] <mhall119|work> and you deleted your administrator account
[19:27] <Canageek> I'm having some trouble: I've got a new ubuntu box and I can't get any webbrowsers to work
[19:27] <makasu26> ues i delte admin account so i cant even add user
[19:27] <Canageek> I can get a ping and pidgin connects fine
[19:27] <mhall119|work> makasu26: you'll need to use a LiveCD
[19:27] <fahadsadah> No
[19:27] <fahadsadah> makasu26: Reboot into recovery mode, selecting the option "drop to root shell"
[19:27] <mhall119|work> boot from the LiveCD, and modify /etc/groups, add you new user name to the line for "admin"
[19:28] <fahadsadah> From there, type adduser yourusername admin, which will make that user an admin.
[19:28] <Canageek> I tried using w3m but it just sits at the 'opening socket' stage forever
[19:28] <mhall119|work> makasu26: fahadsadah's suggestion is better
[19:28] <fahadsadah> mhall119|work: Overcomplication. Recovery mode can drop the user to a root shell.
[19:28] <fahadsadah> Canageek: Firefox.
[19:28] <fahadsadah> The best browser.
[19:28] <makasu26> i get a  fsck need to be check and request from me a root password
[19:28] <Canageek> Firefox just sits and sits once I type a URL in fahadsadah
[19:28] <mhall119|work> Canageek: do you need to configure it to go through a proxy?
[19:29] <fahadsadah> Hmm.
[19:29] <Canageek> fahadsadah: Its my main browser, I was hoping using a textmode broswer would tell me more and it did
[19:29] <makasu26> cant get to the screen to  start root sheel
[19:29] <Canageek> mhall119|work: Nope
[19:29] <raylu> Canageek: try installing strace and running 'strace firefox'
[19:29] <mhall119|work> Canageek: does wget work?

[19:30] <Pavel__> jussi01 I printed a successful test page from printer configuration...

[19:30] <OEP> Is there a way I can force FUSE to mount flash drives with names like 'disk1' 'disk2', etc.. ?
[19:30] <mhall119|work> raylu: but that doesn't tell me anything about http traffic
[19:30] <raylu> Canageek: oh... the issue could be that port 80 is blocked or something, i see

[19:31] <OEP> fahadsadah, so say I want this to extend to sdb, sdc without specifying them in fstab

[19:32] <JarlG> Hello! I'm running ubuntu 9.04 on a HD 4670, and f.ex. when I open FF, I get a quick glimmer of artifacts. Also, I can't enable 'Desktop Visual Effects'. Is there any driver I could install to make my hardware compatible with these functions? Thanks!
[19:32] <bucky> Pavel__, man lpq

[19:32] <guntbert> dbugger: I was too quick - apologies
[19:32] <Blaster> anyone know of a way to move a window onto another screen? i know about tools like 'devils pie', but that only allows me to move matched windows between workspaces, not between X screens.. My problem is that all the apps I launch in my dual screen setup appears on Screen 0, even if I launch them from Screen 1
[19:32] <OEP> mhall119|work, ok.. I'll check out the rules and see what I find
[19:32] <mhall119|work> blue112: chroot isn't really secure
[19:32] <Canageek> mhall119|work: sitting on "Resolving www.google.ca" however google loaded finally in w3m
[19:33] <fahadsadah> !udev | OEP

[19:33] <DigitalDarkness> Question, if someone has time: I was putting a older GTK1 rc file in my theme for Gnome I am working on as a complimentary theme for that last apt or two that still using it (e.i. XMMS). But it doesnt seem to be showing up. Even on older themes I did 4 years ago? Any ideas why on Ubu 904?
[19:33] <fahadsadah> !udev-rules
[19:33] <mhall119|work> blue112: make sure the user doesn't have admin privileges
[19:33] <nperry> Blaster: define screen?  are we talking workspaces
[19:33] <OEP> fahadsadah, I don't think that will be necessary :P
[19:33] <bucky> Blaster, or right click on the title bar and select move to on the menu
[19:33] <dbugger> guntbert, what?? too quick for what?
[19:33] <blue112> mhall119|work: The problem is I don't want him to see the content of the php files in the server (which contains mysql password)...
[19:34] <mhall119|work> blue112: do make those files readable only by the webserver user
[19:34] <fahadsadah> OEP: ubottu makes dealing with the noobs so much easier.
[19:34] <guntbert> dbugger: never mind, I sent you a wrong factoid :-/
[19:34] <Blaster> nperry, no, X screens .. where each screen has a number of workspaces
[19:34] <dbugger> guntbert, no problem: can you send me a right one? :)
[19:35] <OEP> fahadsadah, I see that a lot around here heh
[19:35] <mhall119|work> fahadsadah: we don't "deal with noobs", we help young Ubuntu community members
[19:35] <Blaster> bucky, right clicking the title bar only allows me to move to workspaces (right-of etc)
[19:35] <blue112> mhall119|work: It's complex because many user are using it :/ It'll be easier to prevent access from it with a chroot, as in ftp.
[19:35] <fahadsadah> Blaster, nperry: TTYs, basically.
[19:35] <guntbert> dbugger: sorry, no
[19:35] <Ubuntun00b> I need help with grub...
[19:35] <fahadsadah> mhall119|work: Same thing
[19:35] <mhall119|work> you can't more windows from one X display to another
[19:35] <fahadsadah> !grub | Ubuntun00b
[19:35] <raylu> blue112: then put those users in the webserver group
[19:35] <bucky> Blaster, you're not going to be able to move apps to another instance of X started by another user
[19:36] <fahadsadah> Or even the same user.
[19:36] <Ubuntun00b> I couldn't boot windows after installing ubuntu.
[19:36] <wildc4rd> evenin' all
[19:36] <bucky> Blaster, what fahadsadah said ^^
[19:36] <Ubuntun00b> I used winxp lite.
[19:36] <bucky> Blaster, if you're in console use screen
[19:36] <mhall119|work> there is an experimental x server called "xmove" (I think) that lets you move windows to other X displays
[19:36] <Arkns> hi. Tring to change my username, I lost it. after a series of commands trying to recreate I see that when I try it to change they rename it to newname. so I rename it again and change password. but I cannot log graphically. on terminal I can, with password
[19:36] <Ubuntun00b> I'm in ubuntu now.
[19:37] <Blaster> bucky, it's not another user.. i have a dual screen setup attached to my graphics card. I logon, i get two independent desktops.. if I move my mouse "below" screen #0, it appears on screen #1
[19:37] <Blaster> mhall119|work, for some reason, apps started on screen 1, appears on screen 0
[19:37] <fahadsadah> Arkns: In the commands you type, actually substitute the new name in for "newname"
[19:37] <mhall119|work> Blaster: ah, okay, are you running Compiz?

[19:38] <JarlG> Hi! I'm usually using a RAID 0 setup with my two HDs, but it seems ubuntu won't boot while RAID is enabled, so I had to change to ATA. Now I can't utilize the other HD, is there any way for ubuntu to recognize both?
[19:38] <Ubuntun00b> How do I know what hd ubuntu is on?
[19:38] <Ubuntun00b> *windows is on.
[19:38] <Blaster> mhall119|work, well, i'm not sure ..? :) i don't have all those fancy visual effects, but it might be running in the background. how can i tell?

[19:39] <Ubuntun00b> Is gparted already included in ubuntu or do I have to install it?
[19:39] <mhall119|work> hrab: which do you want, VPN or remote desktop?
[19:39] <mhall119|work> Ubuntun00b: It's on the LiveCD, but I don't think it gets installed by default
[19:40] <mhall119|work> Blaster: if you are running compiz, then there is a plugin to help with window placement, otherwise get "devilspie"
[19:40] <bucky> Ubuntun00b, dpkg -l gparted to find out look for ii at the start of the return line
[19:40] <raylu> Ubuntun00b, mhall119|work: sudo fdisk -l
[19:40] <Blaster> mhall119|work, devilspie only allows moving matched windows between workspaces, not screens (as far as i can tell...)

[19:41] <Ubuntun00b> dpkg -l gparted I to install?
[19:41] <mhall119|work> Blaster: if using Compiz, you can try disabling the Smart Placement
[19:41] <bucky> Ubuntun00b, dpkg -l gparted to find out if it's installed that was your question right
[19:42] <ejv> hrab: i like NX/freenx
[19:42] <Ubuntun00b> It's not installed.
[19:42] <raylu> Ubuntun00b: that's an L, not an l. like i said, "sudo fdisk -l" is sufficient
[19:42] <bucky> Ubuntun00b, install it
[19:42] <Blaster> mhall119|work, i went into the System -> Preferences -> Appearance, and selected "Normal" at Visual effects-tab.. now I have dropped shadows everywhere, does that mean Compiz is on? :)

[19:48] <Resistol> Is there a way in samba to make the equivalent of Windows XP's "Hidden" share?  The idea is to have no login necessary for anyone in the LAN, but they at least need to know the name of the folder to find it - it does not show up in network places.

[19:50] <Flannel> makasu26: Have you set a root password?
[19:50] <Resistol> XP home is giving him problems, slowness and access denieds (maybe due to the 5 computer limit of XP)

[19:52] <jMyles> mhall119|work: Thanks for coming through again.  :-)  What is damage polling?  OK, well I can kill compiz.
[19:53] <OEP> makasu26, did you use a livecd? if you haven't set a root password you'll probably need to boot to a livecd. after that you can edit '/etc/group' and add your username to the right of the line that starts as 'admin'

[19:53] <mhall119|work> jMyles: XDamage is an X extension that lets X only redraw the parts of the screen that have changed
[19:53] <david__> hi all
[19:53] <mhall119|work> jMyles: but with compositing like Compiz, the X server can't rely on that information

[19:53] <gartral> extor: your mouse working?
[19:54] <extor> yeah mouse works fine
[19:54] <mhall119|work> most VNC servers will, by default, use XDamage to reduce the amount of updates it has to send
[19:54] <jMyles> mhall119|work: Gotcha.  You are right - killing compiz fixed the problem.  I'll do some more research.  Thanks for 2/2 today.

[20:02] <mhall119|work> david__: I once had a Dell with a DVD burner that I had to firmware unlock to get it to support +R
[20:02] <david__> gartral,  yes I have used this drive with these dvdsin windows many times, with no error
[20:02] <david__> its not a hardware issue
[20:02] <guntbert> eurythmia: lsof -i should give you a list of connections and servers
[20:02] <david__> at all
[20:02] <mhall119|work> simran: maybe, depends on Adobe
[20:02] <eurythmia> guntbert, thanks.
[20:02] <david__> this is not a hardware issue at all
[20:02] <mhall119|work> simran: sometimes telling Flash to _not_ use hardware acceleration actually helps it
[20:02] <simran> i wonder why no one has made a 3rd party program, so we dont need to use flash
[20:02] <david__> the drive works fine under winblows, so its got to be software related.
[20:03] <simran> mhall119|work  how do i do that?
[20:03] <mhall119|work> simran: gnash is the GNU Flash alternative
[20:03] <eurythmia> simran, it's still in the works, it's called HTML 5
[20:03] <guntbert> eurythmia: yw, and if you want only servers type lsof -li
[20:03] <mhall119|work> simran: I don't remember, you'll have to google it
[20:03] <genii> eurythmia: I like to use something like:   lsof -i:<portnumber>   to find what open files are using what ports
[20:03] <RealKillaz> uhmm guys I have ubuntu 8.10 and after instaling mysql-server and creating databases/tables
[20:03] <RealKillaz> everythuing is ok
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> simran: gnash and swfdec exist
[20:03] <simran> will gnash run flash fine ?
[20:03] <david__> mhall119|work, gartral  was hardware the only solution you had?
[20:04] <RealKillaz> as sooon as I create a new user the root user is removed!
[20:04] <simran> i tried swf...it was the same
[20:04] <ActionParsnip> simran: not quite buit its getting better
[20:04] <mhall119|work> simran: it'll run YouTube I think
[20:04] <ircyop> Hello, I need some help.  I made my /boot partition a seperate partition, and only have it sized at about 70 megs, but it runs out of space for updates after time.  What can I do to merge the partitions, can I use a symbolic link or something?
[20:04] <RealKillaz> is this a known issue in mysql-server?
[20:04] <simran> hmm
[20:04] <RealKillaz> on ubuntu?
[20:04] <simran> any limitations compared to adobe?
[20:04] <mhall119|work> ircyop: you can tell APT to download packages to the other partition
[20:04] <Hamidreza> is there anyone to tell me about Xwindows ???????????????
[20:04] <mhall119|work> simran: of course
[20:04] <puff> raylu:  The end of the file appears to just stop arbitrarily.
[20:05] <ircyop> mhall119|work, Does ubuntu normaly download packages to /boot ?
[20:05] <jMyles> Is there a utility like top that will show bandwidth use of each process?
[20:05] <bdelin88> anyone who could help me with vsftpd?  i am not able to get any help anywhere else
[20:05] <david__> is anyone burning +R dvd's with Ibex? and what are you using to do so?
[20:05] <guntbert> genii: the :<portnumber>  part was new for me, thx
[20:05] <Bonsao> ActionParsnip: i've plugged in a wired connection, but it does not automatically go online
[20:05] <Halitech> bdelin88, what kind of issue are you having?
[20:06] <genii> guntbert: np
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> Bonsao: try: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[20:06] <RealKillaz> so creating a user in the database of mysql deletes the root user.
[20:06] <Jake1> Hi, I'm using 9.04 64bit. Mysql fails to start when I do "sudo /etc/init.d start". Nothing shows up in the mysql logs in /var/log/mysql. Any ideas on where I _should_ be looking?
[20:06] <bdelin88> i did an apt-get update the other day (i looked in the logs and didn't see any vsftpd related info) then all of a sudden these errors are now showing up after never having any issues: http://paste2.org/p/398188.  So i went ahead and purged/removed vsftpd and redid the config again... same issues are now occuring
[20:06] <bdelin88> Halitech: sorry, this will be better for you: i did an apt-get update the other day (i looked in the logs and didn't see any vsftpd related info) then all of a sudden these errors are now showing up after never having any issues: http://paste2.org/p/398188.  So i went ahead and purged/removed vsftpd and redid the config again... same issues are now occuring
[20:06] <ircyop> mhall119|work, Does ubuntu normaly download packages to /boot ?
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> ircyop: no, debs go to /var/cache/apt
[20:07] <raylu> puff: no idea then, sorry
[20:07] <puff> raylu:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/258846/
[20:07] <raylu> puff: perhaps dmesg has something to say
[20:07] <Purpley> I've got a question, how do i start a program through the terminal
[20:07] <puff> raylu Thanks anyway... IIRC, it happened just as I triple-clicked on a paragraph in firefox to select the entire paragraph for copying.  But before I could copy, boom.
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> Purpley: type its name, use tab to complete
[20:08] <elninja> Anyone have any suggestions for configuring preferred wifi networks system-wide, rather than on a per-user basis?
[20:08] <Purpley> ive tryed
[20:08] <Bonsao> ActionParsnip: the output was "* Reconfiguring network interfaces                [ OK ]", but it's still not online
[20:08] <Purpley> tried
[20:08] <ircyop> ActionParsnip, Then what do I do to have it stop always running out of space on /boot when it does kernel related or something like that updates
[20:08]  * puff wishes dmesg had timestamps.
[20:08] <Halitech> bdelin88, strange, it allows you to connect but times out .. are you using passive mode in the ftp program?
[20:08] <Purpley> wait
[20:08] <eurythmia> alright ... now the only ports I have open are 80 (apache), 22(ssh), and 8010 (kopete) ... excellent.
[20:08] <mhall119|work> ircyop: no, to /var/cache/apt
[20:08] <Purpley> never mind
[20:08] <Purpley> thank you
[20:09] <ircyop> ActionParsnip, Then what do I do to have it stop always running out of space on /boot when it does kernel related or something like that updates mhall119|work
[20:09] <Purpley> i used a wild card instead of tab :)
[20:09] <bucky> ircyop, you might have installed something accidently to /boot
[20:09] <stereoit2> hi, testing 9.10 my gconfd-2 process runs 20% of my CPU all the time, any hints how to troubleshoot?
[20:09] <ircyop> bucky, I didn't
[20:09] <ircyop> I just see
[20:09] <bucky> ircyop, especially if your updates are flagged automatic
[20:09] <ircyop> vmm-linuz
[20:09] <bdelin88> Halitech: i have tried both
[20:09] <ircyop> and some different versions of it on the /boot
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> ircyop: then if you read through    dpkg -l | less     you can uninstall useless apps
[20:10] <bdelin88> Halitech: the REALLY strange thing is that winscp and filezilla bother get the same errors... also, the vsftpd log shows an OK LOGIN
[20:10] <bucky> ircyop, but ubumtoo likes to rebuild the initrd.img everytime something new happens
[20:10] <Purpley> also what combination stops a proccess in the terminal without ending the window?
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> ircyop: sudo apt-get clean     is a good way to get back space. you can also uninstall old kernels to harvest 100mb a kernel
[20:10] <mhall119|work> ircyop: ircyop create a new file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ that contains: Dir::Cache::Archives "/home/$wherever"
[20:10] <bdelin88> Halitech: i have got nowhere to turn right now and vsftpd chat is dead
[20:11] <bucky> ircyop, apt-get clean to clean out the apt cache
[20:11] <Purpley> i cant find what it is again
[20:11] <mhall119|work> ircyop: you can also limit the number of old kernels that are kept, but I don't recall how
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> Purpley: run the command with an & on the end, will give you the terminal control but the app will run
[20:11] <ircyop> mhall119|work, a file?
[20:11] <mhall119|work> ircyop: run apt-get clean first
[20:11] <ircyop> a certain ffile name
[20:11] <Purpley> thanks <3 lol
[20:11] <bucky> ircyop, du -h /var/cache/apt/archives/
[20:11] <mhall119|work> ircyop: yeah, I named mine 02homecache
[20:11] <tjc> bdelin88, Halitech : I've used vsftpd a tiny bit, what seems to be the problem ?
[20:11] <Halitech> bdelin88, just looking at filezilla on my ftp connections to see if anything pops out at me, will check my vsftp conf in a sec
[20:11] <bucky> ircyop, how much crap do you have in there?
[20:11] <bdelin88> tjc: i did an apt-get update the other day (i looked in the logs and didn't see any vsftpd related info) then all of a sudden these errors are now showing up after never having any issues: http://paste2.org/p/398188.  So i went ahead and purged/removed vsftpd and redid the config again... same issues are now occuring
[20:12] <mhall119|work> ircyop: run apt-get clean before you make the file, then apt-get update after
[20:12] <bdelin88> Halitech: thank you, also could you see if yours is sending the "FEAT" command?  because both clients disconnect after sending that command and nothing returns from the command either
[20:13] <ircyop> http://pastebin.org/11704
[20:13] <bdelin88> Halitech: if posting my apt log from the past couple of days would help i can put that on a paste
[20:13] <Bonsao> ActionParsnip: the output was "* Reconfiguring network interfaces                [ OK ]", but it's still not online
[20:13] <tjc> bdelin88, do you have a server side log by any chance ?
[20:13] <bdelin88> tjc: yes, are you looking for the vsftpd log
[20:13] <Halitech> bdelin88, yes, mine sends the FEAT command and then gives a bunch of responses
[20:14] <bdelin88> Halitech: yes, i am getting NO responses from the feat command
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> Bonsao: in the output of ifconfig   do you see a valid ip address for your network?
[20:14] <tjc> yes, would you be able to show me that ?
[20:14] <bdelin88> tjc: here is my log file... it's the same for the past few days: http://paste2.org/p/398202
[20:15] <Purpley> what is the best file format for the swap area?
[20:15] <bdelin88> tjc: that's the strange thing is that it checks out
[20:15] <lion_> hi folks, how to disable menu bar in terminal ?
[20:15] <bucky> Purpley, swap file system
[20:15] <tjc> bdelin88, do you use PAM for authentication? did you see anything strange in /var/log/messages ( or wherever it logs into ;)
[20:15] <Purpley> k
[20:15] <bdelin88> tjc: PAM?
[20:16] <Purpley> sorry for being a noob in those parts :)
[20:16] <ircyop> mhall119|work, Dir::Cache::Archives "/home/cache/"
[20:16] <Bonsao> ActionParsnip: i se "inet addr: 127.0.0.1" and "Mask:255.0.0.0"
[20:16] <j2daosh> hey all, anyone got some docs on how to get my wireless card recognized and then get it to connect to a wireless router?
[20:16] <bdelin88> Halitech: an sftp login works just fine by the way... but I don't think my sftp is run by vsftp...don't ask, i have no idea how that got set up in the beginning... i also tried disabling shorewall but that didn't change a thing
[20:16] <tjc> my vsftpd used to use pam by default...
[20:16] <ircyop> mhall119|work, E: Syntax error /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02homecache:2: Extra junk at end of file
[20:16] <mhall119|work> ircyop: and mkdir /home/cache
[20:16] <ircyop> did
[20:16] <mhall119|work> ircyop: woops, sorry, should be a semi-colon at the end of the line
[20:16] <i_am_null> How can I tell if php running under apache compiled as a module?
[20:16] <bdelin88> tjc: i just know that vsftpd has worked fine for 3 months since install and then all of a sudden after no personal changes to the config or anything it no longer works
[20:16] <tjc> ah, I missed the point here I guess :D
[20:17] <Purpley> OH also
[20:17] <RealKillaz> one more time. Hope you can help I'm installing mysql-server-5.0 package. After installing this package as soon as I create a new user it removes the root user
[20:17] <Purpley> When i put my computer into hibernation
[20:17] <RealKillaz> why is this happening?
[20:17] <Purpley> and i try to resume it
[20:17] <Halitech> bdelin88, the firewall isn't part of the issue (I don't think) sftp is a seperate program
[20:17] <Purpley> nothing will happen until i press the power button
[20:17] <bdelin88> Halitech: gotcha
[20:17] <ircyop> mhall119|work, K updating
[20:17] <Purpley> then a blinking underline will flash
[20:17] <bdelin88> Halitech: well it is not part of the issue for sure cuz i disabled it and receive the same errors
[20:17] <mhall119|work> Purpley: hitting the power button is what wakes your computer up from hibernation
[20:18] <Purpley> i only see a _ that blinks
[20:18] <Halitech> bdelin88, if it was the firewall it wouldn't let you in at all
[20:18] <jMyles> How can I view the bandwidth being used by each process?
[20:18] <mhall119|work> Purpley: it takes a while sometimes
[20:18] <Purpley> ooooh
[20:18] <ircyop> mhall119|work, Still cant update newest updates
[20:18] <Purpley> i thought it would be instant lol
[20:18] <ircyop> mhall119|work, not enough room in /boot
[20:18] <mhall119|work> Purpley: as long as a cold boot, sometimes
[20:18] <mhall119|work> ircyop: try removing some older kernels then in synaptic
[20:18] <Purpley> oh
[20:18] <Halitech> bdelin88, did you remove the vsftpd.conf file before you reinstalled?
[20:18] <Bonsao> ActionParsnip: i se "inet addr: 127.0.0.1" and "Mask:255.0.0.0"
[20:18] <ircyop> mhall119|work, I normaly do that
[20:19] <Purpley> well a cold boot is fast aswell compared to windows
[20:19] <ircyop> mhall119|work, I want to make it so I dont have too anymore
[20:19] <mhall119|work> ircyop: then you might need to use gparted to resize your partitions
[20:19] <diamantino> hallo
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> Bonsao: thats the loopback
[20:19] <bdelin88> Halitech: yes, then i also did a purge so that it would reload the default config (it did), then i made the necessary changes
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> ircyop: dpkg -l | grep linux-image
[20:19] <julle_> I have exactly this bug or problem, is there any solution, i cant stream videos or listen to streamed radio https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer0.10/+bug/418064
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> ircyop: run uname -r to see your running kernel and DO NOT uninstall that one
[20:19] <Halitech> bdelin88, hmmm, I'm not sure
[20:20] <bdelin88> Halitech: do you want to see my config file maybe?
[20:20] <diamantino> help me i have radeon 1950 and after bnstalation linux drivers my ubuntu 9.04 begin going down
[20:20] <Halitech> bdelin88, sure, I'll compare it to mine
[20:20] <bdelin88> 1 sec
[20:20] <ircyop> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.org/11708
[20:20] <Bonsao> ActionParsnip: so that is not what you meant?
[20:20] <ircyop> ActionParsnip, 2.6.29-1-netbook
[20:20] <pythovore> how can i find out what user is running my process?  (it happens to be a django process in question)
[20:21] <diamantino> people who can use ubuntu 9.04 with ati radeon?
[20:21] <Halitech> diamantino, did you install the ati catalyst drivers?
[20:21] <bdelin88> Halitech: keep in mind i don't have any fancy home directory setup... the only thing i use it for is /var/www/ here it is: http://paste2.org/p/398211
[20:21] <diamantino> yes
[20:21] <i_am_null> How can I tell if php running under apache compiled as a module?
[20:21] <diamantino> from ati web site
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> ircyop: if you are using the netbook kernel you can uninstall linux-image-2.6.28-13-generic and linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic if you do not use them
[20:21] <Halitech> diamantino, don't, they don't work in 9.04
[20:21] <tjc> bdelin88, did you try to run it with the log_ftp_protocol enabled ?
[20:22] <Halitech> bdelin88, ok, give me a sec
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> Bonsao: your eth0 device needs a valid IP
[20:22] <ircyop> ActionParsnip, through synaptic
[20:22] <diamantino> o
[20:22] <diamantino> i see it
[20:22] <bdelin88> tjc: no, how do i do that
[20:22] <diamantino> but where is normal driver
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> Bonsao: use network manager to tell your system to use eth0
[20:22] <j2daosh> i need to completely reconfigure my network and network settings, how can I do that?
[20:22] <tjc> bdelin88, you'd have to put log_ftpd_protocol=YES to your config
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> ircyop: sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic linux-image-2.6.28-13-generic; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[20:23] <bdelin88> tjc: where does that log output go to?
[20:23] <diamantino> so hey people who knerw where is normal radeon drivers,
[20:23] <tjc> bdelin88, need to check, brb.
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> !ati | diamantino
[20:24] <ircyop> ActionParsnip, Doing so
[20:24] <Purpley> diamantino,   search in  package manager for raedon
[20:24] <morbyte> hi. is there a way to find out if my labtop is sata-1 or sata-2 compatible?
[20:24] <Purpley> i dont believe raedon makes drivers for linux
[20:24] <tjc> bdelin88, i've made a mistake : it should say log_ftp_protocol=YES
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> Purpley: ati make catalysts for linux
[20:24] <Halitech> bdelin88, only thing I see different is the last 6 lines on your conf file I don't have
[20:25] <Purpley> oh sorry
[20:25] <diamantino> o but i need 3d in linux
[20:25] <Purpley> I didnt think they would
[20:25] <diamantino> so i need nirmal drivers
[20:25] <j1nn> hi all
[20:25] <bdelin88> tjc: trying that again
[20:25] <Halitech> diamantino, then drop back to 8.04 or 8.10
[20:25] <tjc> bdelin88, It went to /var/log/vsftpd.log on my machine
[20:25] <Purpley> What is a good benchmarking software for linux?
[20:26] <j1nn> i need some help with weird problem: my asus stopped suspending.. i even cannot think about where to look. syslog show nothing.
[20:26] <Adam-85> Peace be upon you
[20:26] <diamantino> o
[20:26] <Adam-85> I need help with my sound
[20:26] <tjc> also got a warning in /var/log/messages ( vsftpd using 32-bit capabilities)
[20:26] <diamantino> but my be there is free driver from somebody
[20:27] <Halitech> diamantino, there is the radeon and radeonhd drivers which you are probably already using
[20:27] <Bonsao> ActionParsnip: it doesn't look like my ubuntu has anything called network manager.. it has "network connections" and "network tools", but i can't find anything about eth0 to change in either of those
[20:27] <Adam-85> My sound stopped and i cannt hear any sound
[20:27] <diamantino> are there 3d in radeon hd drivers?
[20:27] <Adam-85> Ubuntu 9.04
[20:27] <GPL> whenever i start Vdrift it doesnt starts in Fullscreen :( and that i tried to use OSgrid Virtual Reality Simulation, that too.. and tat it flickers a lot, what could be the problem
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> Bonsao: try a reboot it may pick it up
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> !theme
[20:27] <izeazal> hi all. im on a fresh install and i seem to have sound everywhere else but firefox. is it because i have two sound cards and a usb headset connected? ive gone through the 'control panel' and set my default sound device already. any ideas?
[20:27] <vishal> hi all
[20:27] <vishal> does anyone know if there is any good tool to figure out the exact memory usage of a linux process?
[20:27] <j1nn> someone can think about any reason why suspend/hibernate simple stops working?... no kernel update was made. ubuntu 9.04
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> vishal: top
[20:28] <Bonsao> ActionParsnip: i have rebooted it several times, but it's never had network manager
[20:28] <bdelin88> tjc: hmm, no new log messages and the log for the ftp client is still the same
[20:29] <bdelin88> Halitech: did you get a chance to compare those configs by the way?
[20:29] <diamantino> ùð
[20:29] <diamantino> oh
[20:29] <izeazal> http://img2.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=28_screenshot440.png http://img2.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=28_screenshot-1388.png  http://img2.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=28_screenshot-2891.png  http://img2.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=28_screenshot-3.png i click test and i hear sound fine. i run vlc or rhythmbox and i hear sound fine. this is a fresh install. i have not even installed any packages or did any customization yet
[20:29] <tjc> bdelin88, I'm unable to reproduce this, I responded fine to my FEAT
[20:29] <diamantino> are there free 3d driver for legacy ati from sombody?
[20:30] <izeazal> its just firefox where i dont get sound
[20:30] <Halitech> bdelin88, yes and it was just the last 6 lines of yours that is extra to mine
[20:30] <TechCode> #linuxac
[20:30] <tjc> bdelin88, I'm using version version 2.0.7
[20:30] <vishal> well top shows the percentage of memory usage and more so I have read in some blogs that VMSize and all it shows is the total memory allocated and not the usgae
[20:30] <vishal> usage*
[20:30] <bdelin88> Halitech: tjc: I have a new addition to my ftp client log file: http://paste2.org/p/398225
[20:31] <Bonsao> ActionParsnip: is there any command line input to open the network manager
[20:31] <Bonsao> ?
[20:31] <ircyop> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.org/11711
[20:32] <bdelin88> Halitech: tjc: it now says "EPRT"
[20:32] <bdelin88> Halitech: is there a better ftp client i should use?
[20:32] <bdelin88> Halitech: i mean ftp program... other than vsftpd?
[20:33] <bjorkintosh> bdelin88, there's always the commandline program
[20:33] <damn_> Is it possible to substitute the systembeep with a soundfile?
[20:33] <bjorkintosh> also sftp
[20:33] <Halitech> bdelin88, I use vsftpd and filezilla with no problems
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> ircyop: you need to work out why you aer getting those errors

[20:34] <ActionParsnip> Bonsao: system -> prefs -> network connections    should do it

[20:34] <Halitech> damn_, pop the cover and unhook the speaker wire
[20:34] <bdelin88> Halitech: hmm... could you paste your config file that i could try out?
[20:34] <vishal> of a process?
[20:34] <damn_> bdelin88, but i dont want to deactivate it (sudo modprobe -r pcspkr) i want to substitute it
[20:34] <laryllan> is there an alsa power user here?
[20:34] <Halitech> bdelin88, just delete the last 6 lines of your current, identical other then that
[20:35] <ircyop> ActionParsnip, bucky No idea, I used sudo
[20:35]  * ircyop checks boot
[20:35] <bdelin88> Halitech: alright i will try it, thanks
[20:35] <bucky> ActionParsnip ircyop FATAL: Could not open '/boot/System.map-2.6.28-13-generic'  that's the show stopper
[20:35] <Halitech> bdelin88, here's mine if you want to look http://paste.ubuntu.com/258862/
[20:36] <ircyop> there is no 13 I think
[20:36] <diamantino> ok people please help me i decide to bye new videocard what videocard is work with ubuntu 9.04 in 3d mode?
[20:36] <bdelin88> tjc: I noticed a pam_service_name=vsftpd maybe this is the PAM thing you're talking about?
[20:36] <Halitech> diamantino, Nvidia

[20:36] <bdelin88> Halitech: thanks again!
[20:36] <diamantino> but i bye ati all my life
[20:36] <Adam-85> how to fix my sound
[20:36] <diamantino> may be 4870 has 3d there
[20:36] <ircyop> FSCK IT
[20:36] <Halitech> diamantino, do you want to buy a new card every 6 months?
[20:36] <Adam-85> my sound stopped in my system and with firefox also no sound
[20:37] <ircyop> im just going to reinstall
[20:37] <diamantino> i love ubuntu and im redy to do it
[20:37] <bdelin88> diamantino: another reason why ati sucks
[20:37] <ersoy> hi, i have got a problem. i cant connect 1394 port my camera, how can i do?
[20:37] <laryllan> crowded here^^
[20:38] <legend2440> !sound | Adam-85
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> bucky: try: sudo touch /boot/System.map-2.6.28-13-generic
[20:38] <henrifromtexhoma> can an lvm mounted system be cloned with gparted to a second drive? as with a simple partion?
[20:39] <tjc> bdelin88, yes, most probably that is used for authentication on your machine
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> bucky: then run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get -f install
[20:39] <michael_> I moved my / partition (containing the /boot folder) to a different partition, yet grub still wants to look in the old partition for stage2 and my menu.lst - what do I need to change? btw here is a pastebin of a few of my boot-related files http://pastebin.com/f3b6564e9
[20:39] <tjc> bdelin88, but this is irrelevant to your issue it would appear.
[20:40] <diamantino> so if i bye ati 4870 will it work in 3d in ubuntu 9.04?
[20:40] <ersoy> !1394
[20:40] <ersoy> !ieee1394
[20:40] <michael_> !firewire ?
[20:40] <michael_> oh hm it added the ?
[20:40] <Halitech> diamantino, it should for now http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.36&lang=English
[20:41] <ersoy> !kino
[20:41] <j2daosh> ok, screw it. I am going to reinstall ubuntu so it actually works. Does the newest version actually detect a wirless card and make it work?
[20:41] <diamantino> seks
[20:41] <diamantino> senks
[20:41] <bucky> ActionParsnip, ircyop was the one that had the problem and pasted the error to you
[20:41] <bdelin88> diamantino: if you're buying an expensive ati card so that ubuntu will look pretty or because you want to play games on ubuntu... you're probably switching to ubuntu for the wrong reasons
[20:42] <cordob27> hola
[20:42] <Halitech> the ati 4870 is more expensive then I paid for my entire system upgrade
[20:42] <diamantino> i wont to use free soft its my way in life
[20:42] <abhishek> can anyone help me install wine in ubuntu...plsss
[20:42] <Ben64> diamantino: lots of cards support 3d in linux
[20:43] <diamantino> nvidia is big company
[20:43] <Ben64> abhishek: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb
[20:43] <diamantino> if ati died
[20:43] <bdelin88> diamantino: free software=shitty games
[20:43] <bdelin88> as much as i love ubuntu... i would never use ubuntu to play games
[20:43] <Halitech> abhishek, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/wine
[20:43] <diamantino> nvidia take all market and all grafikscards will be bad and very eexpencive
[20:43] <Ben64> i use ubuntu to play games : /
[20:44] <diamantino> i play only wow
[20:44] <bdelin88> diamantino: just being real with you... don't switch to ubuntu cuz you want to play games or use compiz... that's a waste of money on a graphics card
[20:44] <michael_> Ben64: me too. I like foss games just fine.
[20:44] <diamantino> so i neeed to start it in ubuntu
[20:44] <Ben64> i use ubuntu to play ffxi :D
[20:44] <bdelin88> diamantino: lol... and a personal recomendation don't upgrade to that expensive graphics card to play WOW c'mon man
[20:45] <Ben64> diamantino: also, nvidia has better linux support
[20:45] <bdelin88> i'm sorry, but ubuntu gaming will never be like windows gaming with the DX monopoly and having to reverse engineer everything
[20:45] <abhishek> thanks....I see them
[20:45] <diamantino> so and which card i can bye to play wow in ubuntu,
[20:45] <diamantino> ?
[20:45] <rizitis> I love ubuntu because Linux is better ! http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/
[20:45] <bdelin88> diamantino: if wow is all you play just get like a 7000 or 8000 series nvidia card
[20:46] <bdelin88> i just personally could not switch to linux as much as i wanted to
[20:46] <diamantino> o
[20:46] <Ben64> bdelin88: protip: the more people that play games on linux, the more games to feature linux support
[20:46] <bdelin88> i love it and everything...but the support is just not there...no photoshop, no blackberry support without major hackign around... lots of stuff
[20:46] <diamantino> else i use video player and videoediting and photoediting
[20:46] <Ben64> bdelin88: photoshop works fine
[20:46] <bdelin88> Ben64: i agree... but you're talking about 15% market share and highe
[20:46] <Halitech> what about the GeForce 9600gt? http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4111742&Sku=E145-9504
[20:47] <bdelin88> Ben64: under wine and probably not correctly and probably not CS4
[20:47] <diamantino> ok senks very mutch
[20:47] <bdelin88> Halitech: but we're talking WOW here... :)
[20:47] <diamantino> i bye 250gt may be
[20:47] <Ben64> bdelin88: "probably"...."probably" why don't you find some facts?
[20:47] <Chris220> bdelin88: But who needs photoshop when you have GIMP? ;)
[20:47] <diamantino> i think it will be good
[20:47] <jmite> I was wondering, does anybody know which programs make the biggest difference when they're compiled and optimized for your architechture?
[20:47] <intel352> hey all, i'm trying to configure "twinview" style functionality on an ubuntu 9 machine that has an ATI vid card, and a USB2VGA dongle (2 monitor setup, #1 running on the ATI onboard, #2 running on the dongle using sisusb driver)
[20:47] <intel352> if I enable xinerama, X fails while trying to enable nvidia for some reason (which is a PCI card I have installed during my experiments trying to get dual-monitors working), if I disable xinerama, I get 2 working displays without the ability to drag windows across displays...  (using the dongle & onboard ATI)
[20:47] <intel352> thoughts?
[20:47] <Halitech> bdelin88, don't know, I don't play games on my computer, I use my game consoles for that :D
[20:47] <FloodBot3> intel352: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:47] <bdelin88> Chris220: because gimp, as cool as it is... is garbage
[20:48] <Chris220> bdelin88: Garbage? I beg to differ
[20:48] <GECKBeginner> hi.
[20:48] <rizitis> +1 Chris220
[20:48] <bdelin88> Chris220: to add shadow effects to layers you have to install additional components...that should be built in
[20:48] <GECKBeginner> Where can I get a beta of Karmic Koala?
[20:48] <Halitech> bdelin88, personally I like GIMP better then photoshop
[20:48] <t0s> how can i fix this error on apt-get update http://paste.ubuntu.com/258868/
[20:48] <bdelin88> Halitech: it just doesn't have the same capabilities
[20:49] <Chris220> bdelin88: Or you could just dupe the layer, fill the shape with black and guassian (sp?) blur it.
[20:49] <Chris220> bdelin88: Offset it a bit if you need
[20:49] <Ben64> i like photoshop better, just because that's what i'm used to. if i grew up using gimp, i'm sure i'd like it better
[20:49] <bdelin88> Chris220: that's just a hack to get around it... that's not functionality
[20:49] <kuzux> hey
[20:49] <rizitis> ! karmic koala
[20:49] <Chris220> bdelin88: ... Erm, no. I'm sorry, but no.
[20:49] <kuzux> i've bought a creative zen mp3 player today
[20:50] <kuzux> and it doesn't seem to work with rhythmbox
[20:50] <bdelin88> whoever was griping at me about photoshop proof, here: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14318
[20:50] <ersoy> !pasta
[20:50] <ersoy> !paste
[20:50] <Chris220> bdelin88: That's called having a bit of skill with the program to do more than just using plugins.
[20:50] <hassanakevazir> t0s, have added something from launchpad repos to you /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[20:50] <kuzux> it shows up in the desktop, i can see the files in nautilus
[20:50] <bdelin88> Chris220: photoshop has that included...
[20:50] <kuzux> but rhythmbox does not seem to recognize it
[20:50] <Chris220> bdelin88: if you rely on plugins to do something that simple, then you won't get very far.
[20:50] <bdelin88> Chris220: again... "photoshop has that included"
[20:50] <uli> hi guys, i've got a strange problem, i want to use the b43-fwcutter script, which gets some data from openwrt.org. somehow my pc is unable to reach their homepage while my laptop next to me does... and if i use one of those web-based proxys it also works... anybody got an idea why this could be?
[20:50] <bdelin88> automatic shadowing
[20:50] <t0s> hassanakevazir, yes, should i remove it?
[20:51] <jmite> did anybody have ideas about my compiling question?
[20:51] <ersoy> http://paste.ubuntu.com/258870/ <<-- what is the mean? ubuntu not support 1394 drivers?
[20:51] <Chris220> bdelin88: And also, what do you think the plugin does? Just automates the same process you'd do as, what you called, my "hack".
[20:51] <Ben64> bdelin88: looks like it's rated gold for certain wine versions
[20:51] <Halitech> bdelin88, and how much does photoshop cost? compared to a little time to add a few plugins in get what you want in gimp
[20:51] <GECKBeginner> When can I beta test Karmic Koala?
[20:51] <GECKBeginner> :p
[20:51] <Ben64> Halitech: i'm sure he's talking about stealing photoshop
[20:51] <GECKBeginner> It comes out in 2 months.
[20:51] <GECKBeginner> :p
[20:52] <bdelin88> Halitech: that's fine... but i'm a developer, photoshop is a necessity
[20:52] <|OLLIE|> uli, banned ip? Does the laptop have a different internet connection?
[20:52] <Halitech> Ben64, borrowing, I prefer the term borrowing ;)
[20:52] <hassanakevazir> t0s, no, not if you need it, you need to add their key. Go to the page you got it from, and follow this guide: https://launchpad.net/+help/soyuz/ppa-sources-list.html
[20:52] <uli> ollie, no they are both connected to the same network
[20:52] <Halitech> bdelin88, the functionality is, not the program
[20:52] <bdelin88> Ben64: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14318&iTestingId=41639
[20:52] <kuzux> i've bought a creative zen mp3 player today but it doesn't seem to work with rhythmbox. it shows up in the desktop, but not on rhythmbox(or banshee, or gnomad2)
[20:52] <bucky> jmite, 99% of the programs are -O2 by default anyway and the difference going up from there is negligible
[20:52] <t0s> hassanakevazir, ok thanks
[20:52] <bdelin88> Halitech: yes...and the functionality does not exist in gimp
[20:52] <|OLLIE|> then yes, that is very strange. The only thing i can think of is some sort of outgoing firewall on your "blocked" machine.
[20:53] <Ben64> bdelin88: "Gold"
[20:53] <Chris220> bdelin88: You're missing the point, I believe, of having a program that gives you all these tools. You're not meant to just use plugins for everything, and doing something manually is certainly not "a hack"
[20:53] <bdelin88> Ben64: there are font display issues
[20:53] <|OLLIE|> or maybe even a cached bad DNS result.
[20:53] <Halitech> bdelin88, not natively but most things can be added with plugins or scripts
[20:53] <kuzux> i've bought a creative zen mp3 player today but it doesn't seem to work with rhythmbox. it shows up in the desktop, but not on rhythmbox(or banshee, or gnomad2)
[20:53] <bdelin88> I'm just saying... for everytime i want to add a shadow to have to control it in that way is just not...right... that's a hack for something that should be there
[20:54] <abhishek> can anyone tell me which programming language is used to create ubuntu???
[20:54] <bdelin88> plus too photoshop keeps the shadows angles globally which is much better for mainting shadow and light
[20:54] <|OLLIE|> visual basic lol
[20:54] <Chris220> bdelin88: How can you call it a hack, when the whole idea of the program is to be creative and do things like that in your own way?
[20:54] <bucky> abhishek, C for the most part
[20:54] <bdelin88> Chris220: look i'm just sayin man... those things take time to do... something that can be done in photoshop with a checkmark
[20:55] <Halitech> bdelin88, right, not right is all subjective, what is "not right" to you may seem natural to someone else
[20:55] <abhishek> oks bucky thankz
[20:55] <Chris220> bdelin88: Well if you're not willing to spend time on things like this, you won't end up with a quality product. That's what I'm saying.
[20:55] <jmite> bucky: okay, thanks!
[20:55] <bdelin88> Chris220: how will you not end up with a quality product
[20:56] <jibadeeha-> anyone here had success with connecting an ipod touch with Linux ... wife wants to buy one, but we only have ubuntu on our main machine and worried it won't work
[20:56] <sammy> does anyone know how I can tell grub where to find /grub/stage2 and menu.lst?
[20:56] <Chris220> bdelin88: Nothing good quality comes out of not spending time on it.
[20:56] <hassanakevazir> Does anyone know the command to mount a ext3 drive and one to unmount it? I am not looking for fstab lines, I need a command for terminal
[20:56] <IdleOne> bdelin88: you can make a Wishlist request @ launchpad.net
[20:56] <bdelin88> Chris220: lol instead of moving your shadows by hand they are precisely calculated in photoshop
[20:56] <jmite> bucky: -O2 means modeate optimization, right?
[20:56] <nikolaj_basher> Hi what kind of language is the best to learn c or c++ when you are in the linux world?
[20:56] <Halitech> bdelin88, don't think I'm ganging up on you, I believe in using the right tool (program) to get the job done, if thats photoshop for you then thats up to you, personally I like gimp and find I can do anything there that I could do in photoshop
[20:56] <sammy> I moved my root partition, and with it my /boot folder, but grub keeps looking on the old partition
[20:57] <Chris220> bdelin88: You'd rather let a program set where they are for you, instead of having per-pixel control?
[20:57] <bucky> jmite, http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Optimize-Options.html
[20:57] <bdelin88> Halitech: that's cool i understand... and i don't feel that way.. i just feel a certain way about linux in general... i love it but i hate it
[20:57] <bdelin88> i wish that it had enough market share to be supported by phone companies (blackberry) itunes.. all that stuff
[20:57] <bdelin88> adobe...
[20:58] <Chris220> bdelin88: Halitech's statement is also true for me. I believe in using the right tool for the job, and I don't think the right tool is plugins. That's all :)
[20:58] <Halitech> jibadeeha-, personally I would go with something else, ipods are touchy from what I've seen
[20:58] <hassanakevazir> sammy, so grub loads, gives you the menu but doesn't load ubuntu?
[20:58] <IdleOne> !adobe > bdelin88
[20:58] <IdleOne> hmmm
[20:58] <Chris220> Halitech: Oh course they're touchy, it's a touch screen ;)
[20:58] <sammy> hassanakevazir: check out this pastebin #
[20:58] <sammy>  => Grub0.97 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks on the same drive

[20:58] <morphias> Hi I am having trouble using my USB gaming controller in any video game...
[20:58] <Chris220> s/oh/of
[20:58] <bdelin88> Chris220: i don't think it's plugins either... i said that the shadowing tool comes WITH photoshop and is NOT included in gimp
[20:58]  * FastZ is away: Away from keyboard
[20:58] <Ben64> sammy: where did you move the "/" partition from and to?
[20:58] <Halitech> Chris220, smarty pants ~L~
[20:58] <sammy> whoops. sorry everyone. http://pastebin.com/f3b6564e9
[20:58] <Chris220> Halitech: :D
[20:58] <jibadeeha-> Halitech, i think you are right ... i am not a big fan of Apple products
[20:58] <morphias> i can diagnose it with jstest but vba, snes, and other games arent able to use it for some reason...
[20:58] <sammy> Ben64: from /dev/sda1 to /dev/sda7
[20:59] <kuzux> i've bought a creative zen mp3 player today but it doesn't seem to work with rhythmbox. it shows up in the desktop, but not on rhythmbox(or banshee, or gnomad2)
[20:59] <henrifromtexhoma> eubie
[20:59] <Chris220> bdelin88: That tool == A plugin. In the end, they do the same thing.
[20:59] <bdelin88> Halitech: yes...but i like my ipod that someone bought for me and although it works fine with ubuntu... i prefer i tunes
[20:59] <henrifromtexhoma> oops wront window
[20:59] <Halitech> jibadeeha-, I have 3 'no name' players that all work with Amarok or I can just drag and drop files onto
[20:59] <sammy> and if I do a manual install of grub, using (hd0) and (hd0,6) it installs to the right place and looks in the right place. but ubuntu's automatic grub updater breaks it after the kernel is updated
[20:59] <abhishek> is there any difference between kubuntu and ubuntu??? coz I hv kubuntu CD, ran it few times but still apart of visuals I cudnt found mch diffference
[20:59] <jmite> bucky: perfect. thanks!!!
[21:00] <morphias> Can someone help me with a USB gaming controller issue?
[21:00] <Halitech> bdelin88, to each their own :)
[21:00] <bdelin88> Halitech: i am also becoming very attached to WIN7
[21:00] <Ben64> sammy: well why did you move /
[21:00] <MaGicMaX> dgh
[21:00] <bdelin88> Halitech: :)
[21:00] <asg> abhishek: kbuntu is KDE based, ubuntu is GNOME based. Otherwise, they are the same.
[21:00] <Halitech> bdelin88, blasphamy, go say 10 hail marys and repent and Win no more
[21:00] <MaGicMaX> how can i configure my Sessions Preferences? its not in System > Preferences.
[21:01] <bdelin88> Halitech: i tried the all ubuntu switch.. it just didn't work out
[21:01] <Ben64> bdelin88 is undercover microsoft agent
[21:01] <Chris220> Halitech: Haha, I couldn't have put it better myself!
[21:01] <bdelin88> Ben64: ^ read above
[21:01] <abhishek> thanz asg...
[21:01] <Halitech> bdelin88, and offer your ipod up to our lord Linus
[21:01] <hassanakevazir> sammy, run from a live cd, run : update-grub . should work
[21:01] <bdelin88> I blazed over an entire ubuntu book
[21:01] <sammy> Ben64: I appreciate the help, but that's not terribly helpful :) it's been moved and it can't be moved back. sda1 is too small. grub and linux can handle me moving the root partition, but I need to tell ubuntu somewhere else that I have moved it.
[21:01] <bdelin88> trust me... i am looking for alternatives
[21:01] <kuzux> i've bought a creative zen mp3 player today but it doesn't seem to work with rhythmbox. it shows up in the desktop, but not on rhythmbox(or banshee, or gnomad2)
[21:01] <Halitech> abhishek, just the visuals are differnet due to the desktop that is installed
[21:02] <Ben64> sammy: you can move just /boot there
[21:02] <Chris220|afk> afk
[21:02] <sammy> hassanakevazir: from a live-cd? why would that work and running it from the installed OS wont?
[21:02] <GPL> why does my screen flicker , when i use Hippo OpenSim Viewer, or play Vdrift, and why does it opens in Window'ed mode and not Full Screen mode :(
[21:02] <bdelin88> i don't like to be limited by what software i can and cannot install... and until i can install the same program on linux (without wine) that i can on window$ then it just is not going to work
[21:02] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[21:02] <Ben64> bdelin88: what's so bad about wine?
[21:02] <sammy> Ben64: you're right, but I shouldn't have to :) sda1 is going to be the new swap partition when this finally works.
[21:02] <abhishek> what is KDE in a simple words plss tell me.....if any1
[21:03] <Ben64> sammy: just doesn't make sense why you moved your root partition
[21:03] <bdelin88> Ben64: wine is just a hack...although it is one hell of a program
[21:03] <Ben64> bdelin88: the internet is a hack, best not use that
[21:03] <Ben64> also email
[21:03] <GPL> abhishek, it's a Desktop Environment
[21:03] <bieleke> guys i got a problem with my monitors
[21:03] <IdleOne> bdelin88: if you would like to discuss usability of linux compared to windows by the "regular" end user please go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:03] <bdelin88> Ben64: do not get me wrong... i am AMAZED and what the linux community has done having to reverse engineer so much windows and proprietary crap... i just want to see the day that it can all work together without so much of that
[21:03] <bieleke> i activated xinerama, and now my screens are swapped
[21:03] <hassanakevazir> sammy, ok nvm, I guess I don't understand your question then
[21:03] <sammy> Ben64: "sda1 is too small" I've been using linux for 10+ years, I moved the partition with good intentions :P
[21:03] <IdleOne> !ot
[21:03] <abhishek> GPL can you give me an example of it....some other destop environment..i mean
[21:03] <TuxOtaku> hey quick question, I'm installing grub onto a USB stick, and I want to know what I would need to add to my menu.lst in order to have a "boot from first hard drive" option
[21:04] <GPL> abhishek, like GNOME
[21:04] <maclebi> maclebi
[21:04] <bieleke> so screen 0 needs to be screen 1 and screen 1 needs to become screen 0
[21:04] <bieleke> how do i do that ?
[21:04] <celthunder> abhishek, it is a gui, same as xfce awesome or fluxbox
[21:04] <sammy> hassanakevazir: when I run update-grub, it updates the MBR with a stage1 that still looks in /dev/sda1 for stage1.5 and 2 and menu.lst
[21:04] <Ben64> sammy: you know, you could have resized sda1 ... and if you've been using linux for 10 years..... why can't you fix it?
[21:04] <bdelin88> IdleOne: that's just the thing though... i'm not a regular end user, I consider myself and advanced windows user... i haven't used anti-virus for the past 4 years and my system is fast and great...
[21:04] <didiermah> bonjour les gars
[21:04] <asg> abhishek: gnome.org, kde.org
[21:04] <bdelin88> but i am more attracted to linux
[21:05] <didiermah> jai un gros probleme$
[21:05] <Ben64> bdelin88: it's impossible to expect linux to be just like windows, thats not the goal
[21:05] <bdelin88> Ben64: i know, i do not want it to be... i just want to be able to install the same programs
[21:05] <Ben64> bdelin88: same thing
[21:05] <bdelin88> Ben64: not the same thing...
[21:05] <sammy> Ben64: yes, if there was any free space on sda I could have resized it. and as I said, I've been using linux for 10+ years, not ubuntu, and ubuntu is what's updating grub, not me. I'll be asking others for help now, thank you.
[21:06] <Ben64> bdelin88: if you want windows media player, internet explorer, then use windows
[21:06] <maclebi> hi, I've got a serious problem with bluetooth in my Jaunty, is there anyone who could help me ?
[21:06] <Ben64> bdelin88: if you want to use linux, find programs to do what you want
[21:06] <IdleOne> bdelin88: then if you are an and avanced user you could help make ubuntu better http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate please use #ubuntu-offtopic to continue this discussion. #ubuntu is for support only
[21:06] <didiermah> # join /ubuntu-fr
[21:06] <didiermah> hello
[21:06] <bdelin88> Ben64: photoshop is not windows... it is an adobe product that sells for mac and windows because they will not make money entering into the linux market (that's why the MMO EVE online backed out of its linux support)
[21:06] <IdleOne> didiermah: /join #ubuntu-fr
[21:06] <Ben64> sammy: ooh you've used linux for 10 years, so special, too bad linux knowledge doesn't translate into ubuntu??
[21:07] <bdelin88> Ben64: you can't seriously have just suggested windows media player and internet explorer... you know that's not what i am talking about Ben
[21:07] <hassanakevazir> sammy, ok got what you mean, I always just manually edit the menu.lst file, then at update time debconf asks you if you want to edit the file, I answer no, and edit the file so it points to the newest kernel
[21:07] <bdelin88> Ben64: that sounded like a linux purist attack
[21:07] <sammy> hassanakevazir: which its doing properly, for sure. I just don't know where to tell ubuntu that, when it updates grub, it looks in the new place. i might need to install grub using ubuntu's tools again, maybe that will update something.
 Ben64: i know, i do not want [linux] to be [windows]... i just want to be able to install the same programs
[21:08] <IdleOne> !ot | bdelin88 Ben64
[21:08] <milos_> is it working?
[21:08] <sammy> hassanakevazir: thanks for your help, though. there's a setting /somewhere/ and I just cant find it. it's an obscure one, so I'm probably just not looking hard enough.
[21:09] <abhishek> IS THE TERM DESTOP ENVIRONMENT WITH WINDOWS???
[21:09] <abhishek> i mean..does windows also hv any destop environement..
[21:09] <spO> can i move  multiple files with      mv ( file1 file3   direct4 )   /tothis/destintation ?
[21:09] <bjorkintosh> bdelin88, what on earth for?
[21:09] <ejv> spO: man mv
[21:09] <piccard> xargs as well
[21:10] <bdelin88> Ben64: lol you know what i'm talking about.. i'm not talking about programs created by microsoft specifically to sell with the windows OS... i am talking about photoshop... premier... itunes... office 2007... steam... gta4... and any sort of games

[21:15] <diamantino> please help me
[21:15] <Grifulkin> Okay so I am at my girlfriends house and the internet on wire works fine but I can't get on wire very often because my Laptop is in the living room is there any way to make my connection better because right now it keeps dropping off when I download anything from an online server.
[21:16] <Grifulkin> And I'm on wireless
[21:16] <celthunder> grifulkin so it drops on the wire or on wireless
[21:16] <Grifulkin> celthunder, Wireless
[21:16] <diamantino> i have noutbook and all inside there from via (uh), will it normally work with ubuntu 9.04 ?
[21:16]  * gartral points celthunder to the previous seccond
[21:16] <NfuidS> Hi, I have this ubuntu server which was fine.. now, it seems mod_rewrite just won't work. The module is enabled and the .htaccess is there too, but I still can't use mod rewrite
[21:16] <celthunder> gartral, yeah lol i saw that :)
[21:17] <celthunder> Grifulkin, wireless with what standard any encryption methods used distance from access point?
[21:18] <Grifulkin> celthunder, it has a WEP key, and I'm about 40 feet from the router also its running channel 1 I believe.
[21:18] <maco> is there much interference?
[21:18] <celthunder> Grifulkin, does the connection drop entirely or just the download
[21:18] <maco> perhaps a bunch of other routers nearby also chan 1?
[21:18] <Grifulkin> celthunder, just the download
[21:19] <spO> if i try to mv to a location that has a directory with the same name, it mv syas unable to remove target: is a directory .... why cna't it overwrite or merge the two?
[21:19] <diamantino> who knew what with via chrome drivers for ubuntu 9,04
[21:19] <celthunder> Grifulkin, i'm assuming you tried a different file on a different server?  Check your logs for bad packets/errors?
[21:19] <ikonia> spO: mv {file1,file2,file3} /dest
[21:20] <ejv> did you try reading the man page spO ?
[21:20] <NfuidS> anyone have an idea of what I could check to fix my mod_rewrite ?
[21:20] <spO> did i ever
[21:20] <NfuidS> what ever page I go (that uses mod_rewrite) displays a Not found error
[21:20] <ejv> if you're trying to merge some directories, maybe rsync is a better tools for the job, sir
[21:20] <ejv> s/tools/tool
[21:20] <Grifulkin> celthunder, as an example when I do update sometimes it will get stuck and I will have to stop and start again, and I have tried changing the server, twice but it still happens
[21:21] <Grifulkin> celthunder, also it does it when I watch a youtube video it will buffer a bit and then completely stop
[21:21] <celthunder> Grifulkin okay, maybe its a flow control issue?
[21:22] <Grifulkin> celthunder, Alright and the way to fix that is probably through the router itself I'm assuming right?
[21:22] <gartral> celthunder Grifulkin possibly an ISP issue? (rare, but happens)
[21:22] <ejv> spO: rsync -av --progress --stats /tmp/dir1/ /tmp/dir2/ (if you're trying to merge some data)
[21:22] <celthunder> grifulkin try lowering your window size and usually that is set by the nic which you should get from the router which gets it from the modem which gets it from your isp
[21:23] <ChaoticXSinZ> Heyo
[21:23] <ChaoticXSinZ> Can anyone tell me who is the package maintainer for ffmpeg packages in karmic?
[21:24] <Grifulkin> celthunder, alright I will try that, but the big kicker is if I use windows on this same laptop, the internet works flawlessly
[21:24] <celthunder> Grifulkin, the window size is set by the software, so it's still possible, also are you using the right drivers or justones that are "close" for your wireless card?
[21:24] <linuchsan> NfuidS:you can start to read the mod_rewrite.html
[21:25] <celthunder> Grifulkin, can you go to a different Access Point (neighbors etc) and download stuff?
[21:25] <NfuidS> linuchsan: everything was fine yesterday, the site has been live for weeks
[21:25] <LayseTech> alguém sabe um bom player para assistir dvd no ubuntu?
[21:25] <dominik____> hi I ran nvidia-xconfig and restarted the xserver, now I only have shell access what can I do?

[21:25] <LayseTech> alguém sabe um bom player para assistir dvd no ubuntu?

[21:27] <ChaoticXSinZ> ejv: It's okay I've found it. Thanks
[21:27] <ejv> ChaoticXSinZ: link? im curious :)

[21:28] <Grifulkin> celthunder, alright, thank you btw is it possible that the drivers I have for my wireless card aren't exactly the ones it should have
[21:28] <celthunder> Grifulkin, if you are dual booting go look at the model of card you have in windows and then google the chipset for it against the drivers you are using
[21:29] <Grifulkin> celthunder, wish I could but windows is on a completely different hard drive and for somereason left my screwdriver at home to change it out
[21:29] <celthunder> Grifulkin, okay, what type of laptop is it and what drivers are you using we can probably figure it out
[21:30] <linuchsan> NfuidS:what does your apache/sendmail  log files say...any errors?
[21:30] <Grifulkin> compaq presario v2000 and lspci spits out BCM4318 for the wireless card

[21:35] <Fragsworth> I'm about to rebuild and reinstall python.. if I do this to the same location, does anyone know if I will still keep my installed packages?
[21:35] <Grifulkin> celthunder, I also just changed to wicd and it seemed to help but it has the same problems as the gnome-network-manager
[21:35] <kaptengu_> I want to stream the sound that I am hearing (using alsa mix), is this possible?
[21:36] <bucky> Fragsworth, not a good idea
[21:37] <Fragsworth> bucky: I have to rebuild it, because there are some header settings I need to change
[21:37] <Fragsworth> bucky: how would you go about doing that?
[21:38] <linuchsan> kaptengu_:stream...like broadcasting?
[21:38] <Grifulkin> celthunder, then I used b43-fwcutter to find and download the drivers I needed
[21:38] <kaptengu_> linuchsan: yes
[21:38] <hovannix> hello
[21:39] <linuchsan> kaptengu_:soooo many ways
[21:39] <kaptengu_> linuchsan: can you give me an example?
[21:39] <celthunder> Grifulkin, okay, did that help?
[21:39] <linuchsan> kaptengu_:icecast
[21:39] <bucky> Fragsworth, look into apt-cache show show python-virtualenv
[21:40] <hovannix> so.. anyone got an app to recommend? I'm bored
[21:40] <bucky> Fragsworth, or apt-cache show python-virtinst
[21:40] <Grifulkin> celthunder, no that is what I did originally
[21:41] <Grifulkin> celthunder, do you think I changed the WPA Supplicant Driver in Wicd preferences it would make a difference
[21:42] <panfist> i am trying to install a program from source, and when I do ./configure it tells me that no libcurl package was found, but i have the most up-to-date libcurl in the repos

[21:42] <hovannix> try logging on as root.. allways makes a differ
[21:43] <kaptengu_> linuchsan: you know a program supporting rtsp?
[21:43] <linuchsan> hovannix:and sudo
[21:43] <guntbert> panfist: what program are you trying to compile?

[21:43] <hovannix> yah.. sudo is the door to root
[21:44] <hovannix> blah blah blah.. Im going to take a piss

[21:44] <panfist> guntbert rtorrent. rtorrent has been crashing like mad for me, so their people recommended that i compile from source with debug enabled so they can help me
[21:44] <bucky> panfist, it's prolly asking for one of these apt-cache search libcurl-dev
[21:45] <kaptengu_> linuchsan: thank you very much, you are really good, I'll give it a try, perhaps I'll get back to you
[21:45] <guntbert> panfist: ah I see, listen to bucky please
[21:45] <linuchsan> kaptengu_:you can stream with vlc
[21:45] <Grifulkin> celthunder, I used this one way back but I couldn't find it again back before my first hard drive was unusable, thank you for finding it

[21:46] <kaptengu_> linuchsan: from alsa mix? I couldn't find out how
[21:46] <bobslaede> Not working
[21:46] <Grifulkin> celthunder, hopefully it works because it uses the windows driver if I remember correctly

[21:50] <celthunder> albasheeruddin, hi
[21:50] <celthunder> Grifulkin, hope it works too.

[21:52] <sixdraw> hi all, if I upgraded my pc with a  new motherboard, cpu and ram do i need to do a complete re install of ubuntu?
[21:52] <user12345> hi
[21:52] <Ben64> sixdraw: no
[21:52] <user12345> I can't get my logitec quickcam express to run
[21:52] <Ben64> sixdraw: everything should just work, but if you change video cards, you might need to update the driver
[21:53] <craCkpot> sixdraw: its always a good idea to reformat after a mobo switch
[21:53] <user12345> I installed in synaptic qc driver source and amsn sees nothing but a black screnn and camorama says this: (camorama:15337): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated
[21:53] <sixdraw> Ben64, so everything including kernel will work properly
[21:53] <Ben64> sixdraw: yeah, unless you're going from 64bit cpu to 32bit
[21:53] <craCkpot> i know windows will break, but linux should work i would imagine
[21:53] <Ben64> but why would you do that
[21:53] <sixdraw> well i was but i was using 32 bit ubuntu
[21:53] <Ben64> sixdraw: 32bit ubuntu will work on 64bit cpus still
[21:54] <sixdraw> i know
[21:54] <craCkpot> true story, im doing it
[21:54] <sixdraw> thats what i was doing
[21:54] <Ben64> sixdraw: then you should be fine
[21:54] <sixdraw> Ben64, Thanks
[21:54] <craCkpot> another reason to love linux
[21:54] <craCkpot> windows freaks out when you change mobo cause of the drivers

[21:55] <Ben64> but all the drivers are built into the kernel in linux :)
[21:55] <craCkpot> yep
[21:55] <craCkpot> what's wrong user?
[21:55] <linuchsan> Ben64:ist that so!!!
[21:55] <Ben64> linuchsan: yeah?
[21:56] <linuchsan> Ben64:they still depend on the hardware vendors
[21:57] <Ben64> linuchsan: at some point i guess..? but once they are in the kernel, it's in there

[21:59] <rsk> irgendwer47111: code one and compile it on the ramdisk
[21:59] <irgendwer47111> ah no I used make-kpg
[22:00] <irgendwer47111> It complaints about not finding the modules directory
[22:02] <linuchsan> Ben64:no, if something does work, I would not recommend it if it is not tested fully.

[22:08] <irgendwer47111> how to create an ramdisk without any modules?
[22:08] <bucky> irgendwer47111, you might be able to trick it

[22:09] <guntbert> !ohmy | irgendwer47111
[22:09] <irgendwer47111> but his setup script is silly
[22:09] <bucky> irgendwer47111, try temporarily setting MODULES=most to MODULES=list in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf and make sure you have no modules listed in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
[22:10] <irgendwer47111> it is searching for /lib/modues/kernelversion
[22:11] <bucky> irgendwer47111, right.. to include in your ramdisk.. but apparently you don't have a /lib/modues/kernelversion  ...do you have a /lib/modues/`uname -r`  ?
[22:11] <binarymutant> does anyone use reportbug with gmail? It didn't send the mail for me :/
[22:11] <linuchsan> irgendwer47111: did you know that the most powerful tool is www.google.country
[22:11] <ramiro> hi
[22:11] <irgendwer47111> no its a moduleless kernel
[22:12] <ramiro> how do I determine what triggered the last reboot? or if it was a power shortage or something
[22:12] <bucky> irgendwer47111, like i said you might circumvent the module process by eliminating the need for any modules

[22:16] <bucky> user12345, did you install qc-usb-source so you can have a driver for that?
[22:16] <bucky> user12345, sudo apt-get install qc-usb-source  and modprobe the drivers for that cam
[22:17] <user12345> bucky: yes. but I only isntalled it with synaptic. do I have to compile it (as it's a source) or is that doen automatically??

[22:17] <user12345> bucky what is modprobe?
[22:17] <linuchsan> ramiro:how can it write a log after a power shortage, you can tell it that it must be something like that.

[22:33] <aleron6> i want it to support avi
[22:33] <PovAddict> aleron6: avi is not a codec
[22:33] <PovAddict> aleron6: avi can be *anything*
[22:33] <bucky> user12345, your right
[22:33] <aleron6> no but i want kdenlive to support it
[22:33] <carrie_555> How do I run the rc.x related to my present runlevel, without restarting the computer ?

[22:38] <hatchmt> Hey everyone -- I'm having a little difficulty getting authentication working in 9.04 using the blowfish cipher.  I'm migrating some users over from an openSUSE machine, but Ubuntu uses pam_unix.so rather than pam_unix2.so.  I've installed pam_unix2.so but have been unable to configure the system to use both (so the users with sha512 passwords AND the users with blowfish passwords can login).  Google doesn't really reveal much (mostly jus
[22:38] <hatchmt> t replacing sha with blowfish).  Anyone ever try getting this working before?
[22:38] <t0s> i checked all of the packeges with gtk2-engines in synaptic and applied but now when i go to appearance preferences > customize - controls all the themes have a question mark over them, any idea what i did wrong and how to fix?

[22:40] <PovAddict> and I'm not your personal assistant

[22:42] <lordnikon> can someone help me boot a linux netbook from the usb??
[22:42] <PovAddict> you have gray icons in Firefox? I can't even get to the GUI
[22:42] <PovAddict> I'm stuck in the text console
[22:42] <PovAddict> I believe I'm more driven-nuts than you are
[22:43] <segadude> im thinking about downloading ubuntu server to put on an old computer to use as a media server.  Does it have a gui?
[22:43] <PovAddict> segadude: no it doesn't, that's kind of the point of the server variant
[22:43] <PovAddict> but you can always install it later...
[22:43] <SealedWithAKiss> I have installed a new graphics card, and can hardly see anything on my monitor. Everything is so big that I cannot install the drivers because I can't see the whole installation window.
[22:44] <SealedWithAKiss> Changing the resolution makes things worse!
[22:44] <user12345> bucky: building failed. also I could not install spca5xx-source as on the site you told me, instead I just got gspca-source 1.00.20-1 in synaptic
[22:44] <eduardo_> PovAddict: Yep... It started after the java instalation... I've installed sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin packages. Is there a way to reinstall firefox? I've treid to mark the firefox package in synaptc and never happened!
[22:44] <segadude> well how hard would it be to do things like rip DVDS without a gui?
[22:44] <lordnikon> can noone help me ??
[22:44] <PovAddict> eduardo_: I am not your personal firefox helper
[22:44] <MTeck> How can I see what display driver I'm using?

[22:47] <segadude> will I be able to use a USB wireless adapter with ubuntu server?
[22:47] <PovAddict> if you can use it with normal ubuntu then it will work there
[22:47] <mnaines> segadude, to avoid hassle, I recommend using the laptop's built-in wireless
[22:47] <segadude> its a desktop
[22:47] <mnaines> I've tried wireless USB dongles and Ubuntu doesn't seem to like them very well
[22:47] <trumpen> SealedWithAKiss, hold ALT key and drag the window by clicking inside it
[22:47] <Canageek> For some reason firefox isn't working even though ping, pidgin, w3m and lynx are all working
[22:48] <mnaines> Linksys seems to be the only brand Ubuntu likes
[22:48] <zend_fan2> how do u see the permissions a files has i nthe temrinal ?
[22:48] <PovAddict> zend_fan2: ls -l <file>
[22:48] <Canageek> on and now twitter is working with prism
[22:48] <segadude> I need to connet it to the network somehow. Its gonna me a media center
[22:49] <segadude> *media server
[22:49] <mnaines> But even linksys goes ballistic when you have a Mac try to use Appletalk across it
[22:49] <zend_fan2> I get total 0 is that correct ?
[22:49] <lanzelloth> how do I use orca?
[22:49] <lanzelloth> I need text-to-speech
[22:49] <PovAddict> zend_fan2: then the file you asked for doesn't exist
[22:50] <zend_fan2> strange i can goto it lol
[22:50] <zend_fan2> im only one folder back from it
[22:50] <PovAddict> type the name correctly and it will work
[22:50] <mnaines> segadude: Unless you want to run wires everywhere, your best bet is to get a Linksys wireless PCI LAN card and use a directional antenna
[22:50] <zend_fan2> would htaccess file stop it ?
[22:50] <PovAddict> what does htaccess have to do with anything?
[22:50] <segadude> ok.
[22:50] <segadude> later
[22:51] <zend_fan2> im in my apache and want to set a folder to 777
[22:51] <zend_fan2> but chmod 777 file not working
[22:51] <mnaines> zend_fan2: Do you append Sudo to the beginning of the command?
[22:51] <PovAddict> wI made a mess with nvidia drivers and now my system is loading 71.86.04 on startup, which doesn't even support my card
[22:51] <PovAddict> I do have 169.12 installed but it's not getting loaded
[22:51] <zend_fan2> uep
[22:51] <PovAddict> how can I get it to load 169.12 again?
[22:52] <zend_fan2> yep
[22:52] <PovAddict> zend_fan2: you're probably doing it from the wrong folder then
[22:52] <zend_fan2> what folder should i be in im one down from current
[22:52] <zend_fan2> one i want changed
[22:52] <mnaines> zend_fan2: you may need to try Chown on the folder first...The two don't always have to be used together, but for some folders, the permissions can't be changed unless you change the owner
[22:52] <nothingHappens> can anyone actually record with Audacity, or is it just another hoax in the elaborate conspiracy to stop musicians from adopting linux so that all the hipsters don't ruin our geek cred?
[22:53] <PovAddict> mnaines: that's way more advanced than the problem he has, currently 'ls' doesn't even show the file
[22:53] <PovAddict> mnaines: I think he doesn't quite get the concept of current directory yet
[22:53] <bobbyd> hi
[22:53] <carrie_555> I realized that when I restart my computer my local IP (192.168.1.10x) takes different values. How do set a fix local IP ?
[22:53] <bobbyd> what's the correct way to disable servers from starting at boot uaing the console?
[22:54] <mnaines> PovAddict: So he's a newbie?
[22:54] <TheMusicGuy> Why does my laptop always go into "performance" mode / the maximum CPU frequency every time I connect or disconnect AC?
[22:54] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: You can set it not to
[22:54] <bobbyd> carrie_555: you can usually make your router give your machine a specific address by specifying your machines MAC address in it's settings
[22:55] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines:  I thought I could, but the options have vanished for some reason.
[22:55] <kripso> what happend with the flashplugin in 9.04?
[22:55] <bobbyd> carrie_555: or you can jsut open up .etc.network/interfaces and edit that file as per the comments there to assign a fixed IP
[22:55] <kripso> youtube/pornhub/redtube/youporn etc dont seems to work so good need to fix the flashplugin!
[22:55] <dell-> hoho
[22:55] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: I know there's some options that can be changed with Gconf, but since 9.04 was released, those setting don't seem to have any effect
[22:55] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: It generally does that because the laptop has more power...When its plugged in, it is running off A/C and so can run maximum performance...Right-click on the taskbar then click the icon that says "CPU Frequency and Scaling" then left-click on the icon and manually set the frequency
[22:55] <carrie_555> bobbyd, I'll try the second suggestion
[22:56] <PovAddict> kripso: watch less porn, that'll help
[22:56] <dell-> i'm looking for something:  amsn and skype for ubuntu 9.04
[22:56] <dell-> please help me
[22:56] <PovAddict> dell-: get skype from skype.com
[22:56] <lordnikon> i cant get my linux bot to boot from the usb
[22:56] <bobbyd> carrie_555: the first is usually better because it ensures your router won't give that IP to something else, which would mean you'd have two machines with the same IP
[22:56] <dell-> can't find it
[22:56] <lordnikon> err my linux box
[22:56] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: My bad...Right-click on the taskbar, click "CPU Frequency and Scaling", click Add, then close out of that...Click on the icon that just appeared then change the frequency manually
[22:56] <lordnikon> !usb
[22:56] <eduardo_> alguém fala português aqui?
[22:57] <carrie_555> boddy, I see
[22:57] <bobbyd> lordnikon: did you make a usb boot srive using the GUI app in system->admin?
[22:57] <PovAddict> !pt | eduardo_
[22:57] <carrie_555> eduardo, eu falo
[22:57] <dell-> only 8.10 and not working for 9.04
[22:57] <lordnikon> gui app.  what is the name of it??
[22:57] <kripso> PovAddict: whats wrong with the flash plugin anyways.. worked perfectly well before my disked crahsed and i jumped from 8.10 to this 9.04.
[22:57] <lordnikon> i have the image writer program bobbyd
[22:58] <bobbyd> System->administration "USB Startup disk creator
[22:58] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: It sometimes changes by itself whenever I connect/disconnect AC, or whenever it resumes from suspend-to-RAM. I would like it to stop doing that.
[22:58] <dell-> help please
[22:58] <kai> hallo
[22:58] <bobbyd> use the GUI app :)
[22:58] <lordnikon> ill give that one a try thnx
[22:58] <carrie_555> bobby, do you know what I should write in the interfaces file? I have only 2 lines there written... no comments ----> auto lo   and   iface lo inet loopback
[22:58] <eduardo_> if no one can help me, i'm goind
[22:58] <eduardo_> going
[22:58] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: That isn't/shouldn't be a problem.  It does that because when you're running on A/C power it can bump up the performance without running on the battery.  I would not worry about it
[22:58] <PovAddict> I have been here 30 minutes stuck in an 80x24 console because X won't work, because Ubuntu loads the wrong nvidia module
[22:59] <PovAddict> and so far everyone has ignored my question
[22:59] <mnaines> kripso: The flash plugin I use is the adobe one available through synaptic
[22:59] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: the problem is that it goes into performance when its on battery power, not just when its on AC power.
[22:59] <kai> somethings is filing all my hard drive space up
[22:59] <PovAddict> kai: do you use KDE or GNOME?
[22:59] <kai> and i cant find wher it goes
[22:59] <kai> gnome
[22:59] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: Then you will have to manually set the frequency...Do what I told you to do and you can set the frequency manually that way
[22:59] <kripso> i have a look at it tommorow
[22:59] <eduardo_> PovAddict: could you open a terminal?
[23:00] <omniplatform> I have ubuntu 9.10 alpha 4 installed via Wubi, so I am trying to boot ubuntu from the Windows OS Selector.  When I select ubuntu, I get the message very briefly "Try (hd0,0): NTFS5:" then very very briefly  the message "Unknown command ')' Unkown command 'menuentry'".  Then it immediately reboots.  I have tried uninstall, reinstall, and it does the same.
[23:00] <PovAddict> eduardo_: I *am* in one
[23:00] <kai> i just delet some and then is it full again
[23:00] <wwarrior> kai you can install filelight to visually determine wich is the biger folder or file in your sistem
[23:00] <wwarrior> and try to find what is growing so much
[23:00] <kai> ther is no space left
[23:00] <PovAddict> wwarrior: filelight is for KDE
[23:00] <PovAddict> I don't think he has space to install kdelibs
[23:00] <lordnikon> bobbyd: i never thought to use that one i have been using the image writer program
[23:01] <lordnikon> thanx
[23:01] <eduardo_> Pov: Every time that you restart it ubuntu run the wrong module?
[23:01] <St-Lemur> I'm running Intrepid. When something grabs the screen for fullscreen mode and then lets it go, when my normal desktop returns it's too wide for the monitor. This problem goes away on re-starting X. This problem is new since I upgraded from Hardy.
[23:01] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: I know I can set it manually, which is what I've been doing, but I would like it not to change by itself since it seems to be making absurd decisions about which power profile to use.
[23:01] <PovAddict> eduardo_: yes
[23:01] <kai> i was at lunch and no
[23:01] <wwarrior> filelight: http://www.sc.ehu.es/powgep99/dcytp/teoricos/staff/inaki//pics/blog/DUAs/filelight.png
[23:01] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: So my suggestion is not working?
[23:01] <wwarrior> PovAddict, you know the gnome alternative ?
[23:01] <bobbyd> lordnikon: well it works for me, my server is running from a USB key at the moment

[23:02] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: If you are not going to listen to me, then I cannot help you
[23:02] <PovAddict> GPL: I would, but I'm currently stuck in a text-only console
[23:03] <wwarrior> yep
[23:03] <wwarrior> baobab seems to be death
[23:03] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: I listened to you suggestion. You said to do it manually. But did you listen to what *I* said?
[23:03] <PovAddict> kai: run "du -h" on a console
[23:03] <GPL> PovAddict, oh okie, thanks for the interest and your concern, buddy, :)
[23:03] <eduardo_> Anyone here knows how to configure the microfone in an Acer 5050 notebook? I can use skype or record sound in ubuntu. But it works well in Vista...
[23:03] <kai> ok
[23:03] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: Yes, I know what the problem is...My laptop does the same thing, and I am trying to tell you what I did to fix the problem
[23:04] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: Do not make the mistake of thinking I do not know what I am talking about
[23:04] <gbrethen> does gnome-phone-manager work with LG Vue?
[23:04] <carrie_555> http://player.abacast.com/kplu/kpluflash.html
[23:04] <rupert> i have a setpagedevice line that i can insert into postscript files to get my pages centred correctly. is there some way to get cups to do this automatically?
[23:04] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: ...
[23:04] <lordnikon> bobbyd: how is it different from the imagewriter program??
[23:04] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: I didn't say that you don't know what YOU'RE talking about.
[23:05] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: My problem was solved by using the CPU Frequency and Scaling Monitor
[23:05] <kai> thank you
[23:05] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: When you use the CPUFreq panel applet to change the frequencey, the changes you make only last until you disconnect/reconnect/resume from standby. After that, Ubuntu changes your setting itself.
[23:05] <PovAddict> kai: did you find the disk-eater?
[23:05] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: That is the problem I am trying to solve.
[23:05] <kai> not jet
[23:05] <kai> i have a file
[23:05] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: Why do you use standby?  If you're going to be away from the laptop, just shut the thing down
[23:05] <kai> now and look at it
[23:06] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: Because that takes too long.
[23:06] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: but that's really no the point.
[23:06] <vk__> can anyone tell me why all of my virtual terminals leave me with a blinking mark and no log in prompt and no ability to type any text
[23:07] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: I don't want to have to do extra things every time I resume from suspend because that wastes time.
[23:07] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: None of the operating systems apparently like the standby mode...And I've used everything from Windows 3.x on
[23:07] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: What do you mean "they don't like them"?
[23:08] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: I mean the OS goes ballistic...In my case, I lose the ability to reconnect the wireless if I hibernate or use standby mode
[23:08] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: Yes, that does happen sometimes, but only if I had the wifi kill switch turned on when I resumed (ie. wifi turned off)
[23:09] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: The reason is standby is a low power state, and apparently it erases everything in memory because of that reduced power output, and that causes the OS to go ballistic
[23:09] <Shirotoko> I need an IDE that can syncronize files trought FTP, like the sync feature of Dreamweaver... anyone knows something like that?
[23:09] <emanon> i find that mandriva cant detect my keyboard so i can type my encryption key in if i have encrypted lvm set up and fedora will forget about them if i reboot it, ubuntu wont do them at all and debian works just fine, but its still debian so no on that one
[23:09] <cornet> Shirotoko: tried filezilla ?
[23:09] <PovAddict> mnaines: erases everything in what memory?
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> Shirotoko: you coul;d have rsync watch the files as you work on them
[23:10] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: I doesn't erase everything in memory. If that were the case, the CPU would have nothing to resume to.
[23:10] <PovAddict> RAM?
[23:10] <mnaines> PovAddict: The RAM
[23:10] <TheMusicGuy> *It doesn't
[23:10] <PovAddict> ok then I'll also that you do not, in fact, know what you're talking about :)
[23:10] <omniplatform> I have problems with ubuntu installed via wubi: should I repost the details?
[23:10] <PovAddict> hibernating stores the whole content of RAM to disk and shutdown; standby will keep RAM alive and refreshed
[23:10] <ActionParsnip> omniplatform: i hate wubi but i'll have a go. wassup?
[23:11] <mnaines> PovAddict: He's talking about standby mode, and I, for one, know that none of the current OS's can resume from standby and not have problems
[23:11] <lordnikon> how do i make my icons smaller??
[23:12] <EvilPenguin|> grub error 21?
[23:12] <mnaines> PovAddict: If the standby mode doesn't kill the wi-fi, it causes the OS to revert back to its default settings...A bunch of crazy stuff
[23:12] <PovAddict> sure, it may cause many issues
[23:12] <dzup> hi, hey whats a good wireless assistand i can use on 8.1 ?
[23:12] <bdelin88> i f'd up real bad following a guide... how do i undo this: pure-pw usermod bryce -u bryce -g pureftp -d /home/pubftp/bryce
[23:12] <PovAddict> but saying it 'erases everything in memory' is just ignorant
[23:12] <bdelin88> i have root access
[23:13] <acicula> EvilPenguin|: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=62717 may help

[23:13] <gbrethen> LG CU920
[23:13] <PovAddict> bdelin88: what is pure-pw?
[23:13] <yacc> I wonder if anyone got an idea how to check if a given X server is active or backgrounded? (xwd with with newest karmic & nvidia drivers just makes the xserver crash. Not a good technique :( )
[23:13] <mnaines> PovAddict: I generally don't use standby or hibernate modes if I can help it...I don't ever pull out and use my laptop unless I know I can run it until the battery is dead without ever needing to get up and do stuff
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> PovAddict: pure-pw - Manage virtual users files for Pure-FTPd
[23:13] <TheMusicGuy> Suspending to ram (aka. "sleeping") is actually fairly complex. Each device connected to the system (including the CPU and RAM) has to do something different in order to drop into a lower power mode and then return to regular power usage after the CPU gives the OK
[23:13] <SealedWithAKiss> I have installed the driver for my graphics card but the resolution and display in general is still messed up.
[23:14] <bdelin88> PovAddict: sorry...posted the wrong thing, this is it: usermod -g pureftp -d /dev/null -s /etc bryce
[23:14] <TheMusicGuy> That's where technologies like ACPI come in.
[23:14] <acicula> PovAddict: re ignorance http://xkcd.com/386/ ;)
[23:14] <PovAddict> acicula: do you have an ascii art version of it?
[23:14] <x404x> i get /usr/bin/ld cannot find -lperl but libperl5.10 is installed, do i need another libperl ?
[23:14] <acicula> PovAddict: no
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> SealedWithAKiss: have you configured the display after installing the driver?
[23:14] <PovAddict> I'm *stuck in 80x24 tty*
[23:14] <acicula> PovAddict: there should be one tbh :D
[23:14] <omniplatform_> I lost my connection, so If anyone replied, I didn't see it
[23:14] <bdelin88> PovAddict: i unkowingly and stupidly took away my shell and home directory
[23:14] <godoshian> how can i change my locale settings to 8859-9 ?
[23:14] <dzup> SmithKurosaki: there is no package call wpa_cli  , any other wireless assistand with GUI interface for gnome ?
[23:14] <usser> x404x: if you're compiling stuff you probably need perl-dev or some such
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> omniplatform_: I hate wubi but i'll have a go
[23:14] <SealedWithAKiss> ActionParsnip, I don't know how to. I have tried adjusting the resolution etc, but things just go wrong big time!
[23:15] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: Now you see why I do not use standby mode.  My laptop does have ACPI enabled, but I still experience problems, so I rarely use standby mode or hibernate mode unless I absolutely have to...If I am going to use my laptop, I make sure I have time to run it until the battery is dead then I shut it down and recharge it
[23:15] <usser> dzup: wicd
[23:15] <x404x> k ill try add perldev
[23:15] <x404x> thanx
[23:15] <acicula> PovAddict: xkcd about correcting someone who is wrong on the internet, is your X broken or are you on a console by choice
[23:15] <groowy> dear guys i need a little help with ubuntu.
[23:15] <treble54> anyone have know how to address this issue?: I connected an external display (an Epson projector) and it asked me to conform my desktop settings to the limitations of the projector or something therein, and I was not able to use any of the compiz visual effects
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> SealedWithAKiss: can you pastebin the output of: sudo lshw -C display
[23:15] <PovAddict> acicula: Ubuntu is loading an ancient nvidia module that doesn't even support my card, even though I have nvidia-glx-new installed
[23:15] <treble54> after disconnecting the external display, I still can't get visual effects to work
[23:15] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: yeah, but lots of other people don't have that problem. I used to, but when Intrepid came out, most of those problems disappeared.
[23:15] <treble54> any suggestions?
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> !ask | groowy
[23:16] <kai> i have done du -h > du.txt   how can i sort this text file now to see what uses the most space
[23:16] <PovAddict> so X not only crashes but also screws up my TTYs and I have to reboot
[23:16] <acicula> PovAddict: hmm, well you can load the vesa driver perhaps
[23:16] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: As I said earlier, NONE of the current operating systems have fixes for that problem
[23:16] <omniplatform_> Action:  I have ubuntu 9.10 alpha 4 installed via Wubi, so I am trying to boot ubuntu from the Windows OS Selector.  When I select ubuntu, I get the message very briefly "Try (hd0,0): NTFS5:" then very very briefly  the message "Unknown command ')' Unkown command 'menuentry'".  Then it immediately reboots.  I have tried uninstall, reinstall, and it does the same.
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> treble54: could have the device connected, then run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   then restart x
[23:16] <treble54> ok
[23:16] <acicula> PovAddict: the stock nv driver should pretty much support any nvidia card, somewhat, the "real" nvidia drivers do drop support of the really old school stuff. What are you on, TNT/geforce 2/
[23:17] <Kirbon> I'm running jaunty and my "apt-get update" has quit working, ...keeps giving a 404 error....but the repositories are there cause I can browse to them in ff
[23:17] <acicula> s///?
[23:17] <SealedWithAKiss> ActionParsnip, sure thing one moment. I can already see that it hasn't got a clue I have a new graphics card - I'll paste anyway.
[23:17] <PovAddict> acicula: I'm on a GeForce 8600GT
[23:17] <treble54> ActionParsnip: ok thx let me try that
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> omniplatform_: did you md5 checkk the wubi installer file as well as any iso files if you used one that you downloaded yourself
[23:17] <samitheberber> !wpa_supplicant | dzup
[23:17] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: That simply isn't true. Unless you're saying that no OS can fix the problem of using menial amounts of power to keep the RAM in tact, but that's more of a problem with computers in general.
[23:17] <samitheberber> !wpasupplicant | dzup
[23:17] <kai> i have done du -h > du.txt   how can i sort this text file now to see what uses the most space
[23:17] <SealedWithAKiss> ActionParsnip, this display is nightmare to even browse with? Can I paste in PM?
[23:17] <acicula> PovAddict: nv or nvidia driver should support that tbh
[23:18] <samitheberber> !wpa | dzup
[23:18] <PovAddict> acicula: it does
[23:18] <ActionParsnip> SealedWithAKiss: just run: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; sudo lshw -C display | pastebinit
[23:18] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: The point I am trying to make is this:  Take my advice and stop using standby and hibernate modes...It will save you a lot of hassle in the long run
[23:18] <PovAddict> acicula: now how do I make Ubuntu load the damn thing instead of the ancient nvidia 71.86.04, which is for pre-G2?
[23:18] <PovAddict> GF2*
[23:18] <acicula> PovAddict: eh
[23:18] <acicula> what ubuntu version are you on
[23:18] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: I tried that. Believe me, using suspend is much less hassle.
[23:18] <PovAddict> 8.04
[23:18] <vk__> can anyone tell me why all of my virtual terminals leave me with a blinking cursor and no ability to type any text. ubuntu 8.10
[23:18] <omniplatform_> hmmmm no: where do I get the md5 of the wubi?
[23:18] <ActionParsnip> PovAddict: install nvidia-glx
[23:18] <samitheberber> dzup: wpagui is very simple
[23:19] <PovAddict> ActionParsnip: it's installed
[23:19] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | omniplatform_
[23:19] <acicula> PovAddict: X doesnt distinguish between revisions, it just loads the driver, 8.10 should install a pretty current one though
[23:19] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: My suggestion:  Don't use the laptop unless you know you have time to run the battery completely down without having to get up and do other things
[23:19] <kai> i have done du -h > du.txt   how can i sort this text file now to see what uses the most space
[23:19] <samitheberber> dzup: you can fing it with wpagui package. You also need to enable wpa_supplicant
[23:19] <ActionParsnip> omniplatform_: you have installed wubi using an unverified wubi  installer. you have no garuntee you got all the data or that what you have was correct
[23:20] <SealedWithAKiss> ActionParsnip, bear with me. Things are all over the place.
[23:20] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: Unless you use the laptop for work, I highly doubt you really need it just being at home all day
[23:20] <PovAddict> I *have* 169.12
[23:20] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: All I have is a laptop. If I want to do anything for any amount of time, I have to use it, regardless of how I manage power.
[23:20] <groowy> ok, i my fstab file is gone and after then i rebooted my computer i got a message in blue box says: "could not start the x server.." then i boot safe mode and tried some fixes there. now i m using my ubuntu but fstab file is still not exist. what should i do?
[23:20] <PovAddict> but the kernel is loading 71.86.04 on boot instead
[23:20] <acicula> heu
[23:20] <bdelin88> what is the default SHELL for an administrator user?
[23:20] <omniplatform_> ActionParsnip: ok, sounds likely
[23:20] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: You cannot afford a desktop?
[23:20] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: No.
[23:20] <ActionParsnip> bdelin88: there isnt one
[23:20] <SealedWithAKiss> ActionParsnip, that's an idea of what my screen looks like. The resolution is extremely low: http://img205.imageshack.us/i/screenshotfhq.png/

[23:20] <Kirbon> again: (06:17:03 PM) Kirbon: I'm running jaunty and my "apt-get update" has quit working, ...keeps giving a 404 error....but the repositories are there cause I can browse to them in ff have the URL's changed....cause it hasn't been moved to the old archives yet
[23:20] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: So a $300 Dell Dimension desktop is out of your budget?
[23:20] <SealedWithAKiss> ActionParsnip, the command you gave me completed.
[23:20] <bdelin88> ActionParsnip: i did this (stupidly): useradd -g ftpgroup -d /dev/null -s /etc ftpuser  and i am trying to restore my user to his normal home directory and shell
[23:21] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: I don't have a budget. I'm a college student living off of financial aid.
[23:21] <acicula> PovAddict: you can remove the kernel mod, purge nvidia-glx and reinstall those?
[23:21] <bdelin88> ActionParsnip: i did: usermod bryce -d /home/bryce -s (for default)
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> bdelin88: you can use any shell you like, most use bash but you can use sh, dash or whatever you wish
[23:21] <bdelin88> ActionParsnip: not working though
[23:21] <PovAddict> acicula: I already tried apt-get install --reinstall
[23:21] <PovAddict> on nvidia-glx-new
[23:22] <ActionParsnip> SealedWithAKiss: ok what is the link it generated?
[23:22] <bdelin88> ActionParsnip: what is the path to bash please?
[23:22] <ActionParsnip> bdelin88: i suggest you read up on usermod
[23:22] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: The problem you have is not the fact you cannot afford a desktop, it is that you keep insisting on using the laptop when you know you will have to get up and do something else every 5 minutes
[23:22] <SealedWithAKiss> ActionParsnip, I ran exactly that. Pastebinit installed but said that it wasn't passed any arguments.
[23:22] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: but my financial situation is irrelevent to this discussion. My point is that the problems with laptops and power profiles/frequency scaling/whatever can be solved.
[23:22] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: what?
[23:22] <bdelin88> ActionParsnip: i will later, and i have been reading the man page, i just need a quick fix bc i have a lot fo other pressing issues i'm trying to solve
[23:23] <SealedWithAKiss> ActionParsnip, it didn't generate one because no arguments were passed.
[23:23] <Kirbon> again: I'm running jaunty and my "apt-get update" has quit working, ...keeps giving a 404 error....but the repositories are there cause I can browse to them in ff have the URL's changed....cause it hasn't been moved to the old archives yet
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> SealedWithAKiss: ok try: sudo lshw -C display > ~/temp.tete; pastebinit ~/temp.tete; rm ~/temp.tete
[23:23] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: You clearly did not listen to my point earlier, correct?  My point was that unless you can devote 5 hours or more to using the laptop non-stop, do not use it
[23:23] <dwarder> !version
[23:23] <PovAddict> bdelin88: it will take less time to read the manpage than to ask here
[23:23] <bdelin88> PovAddict: i just need the bash path
[23:23] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: that's just silly.
[23:23] <dwarder> ubottu: !verison
[23:23] <PovAddict>  /bin/bash
[23:23] <dwarder> ubottu: !version
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> bdelin88: /bin/bash
[23:23] <PovAddict> dwarder: what are you trying to do?
[23:23] <treble54> ActionParsnip: thx, that fixed my problem :)
[23:23] <SealedWithAKiss> ActionParsnip, just do it this way: http://pastebin.com/m4c580743
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> bdelin88: you can find out with the which command
[23:24] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: I get by just fine with that strategy
[23:24] <bdelin88> PovAddict: for usermod -s [bash path]
[23:24] <bdelin88> ActionParsnip: thank you!
[23:24] <Kirbon> guess no one here knows the answer, will try somewhere else
[23:24] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: And I'm a poor college student myself
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> SealedWithAKiss: is there not a command like ati_config or somesuch
[23:24] <GPL> i am struggling with : Whenever i click some URL, it opens with Bluefish Editor, i would like someone to remove view my comp. and help me sort this problem ?
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> SealedWithAKiss: type ati then press tab a few times
[23:24] <acicula> PovAddict: apt-get remove --purge nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new
[23:24] <bdelin88> ActionParsnip: any reason why this wouldn't work then? usermod bryce -d /home/bryce -s /bin/bash
[23:24] <acicula> --purge should wipeout the compiled mods
[23:25] <boss_mc> GPL: look in Sytem->Prefs->Preferrend Apps
[23:25] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: Besides, you're in college to learn, not to be putsing around on the laptop playing Solitaire all day
[23:25] <SealedWithAKiss> ActionParsnip, aticonfig is a command that takes arguments. I don't know what args to pass to the command though.
[23:25] <Megasoft> hello
[23:25] <GPL> boss_mc: already did
[23:25] <ActionParsnip> bdelin88: ive not played with users like that so i'm no help dude, sorry
[23:25] <Megasoft> Pain Is So Close To Pleasure!!!!!
[23:25] <PovAddict> acicula: done
[23:25] <boss_mc> GPL: fair nuf
[23:25] <bdelin88> ActionParsnip: ah ok well thanks man!
[23:25] <bdelin88> is there something wrong with this line?  usermod bryce -d /home/bryce -s /bin/bash
[23:25] <PovAddict> acicula: reinstall it?
[23:25] <acicula> PovAddict: nah, try rebooting
[23:25] <PovAddict> ok bbl
[23:25] <Halitech> SealedWithAKiss, I think if you just run aticonfig it should give you the differnt arguements you can use
[23:25] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: That's not the kind of advice this chat room is meant for, if you catch my drift.
[23:25] <acicula> PovAddict: if it's gone it should default to the nv driver
[23:26] <SealedWithAKiss> ActionParsnip, just typing aticonfig produces more output than I can display in my terminal.
[23:26] <acicula> the open source one
[23:26] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: sorry, channel.
[23:26] <GPL> boss_mc: not fair, because nothing happens/changes with that, lol
[23:26] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: I'm sorry if you cannot tolerate brutal honesty
[23:26] <boss_mc> GPL: alas...
[23:26] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: I;'m sorry you haven't learned tact and the fine art of keeping the topic on point.
[23:26] <PovAddict> but nvidia-glx-new is the 169.something one
[23:26] <SealedWithAKiss> ActionParsnip, how do I save the output of aticonfig to a .txt file using the command line?
[23:26] <PovAddict> I don't know where 71.86.04 is from
[23:27] <mnaines> TheMusicGuy: You asked for advice and you got advice.  Don't blame me because you did not like the advice you were given
[23:27] <GPL> boss_mc: yes, thats one word to say
[23:27] <bdelin88> ActionParsnip: well maybe you could help me with this... i think i have a syntax error with this line: usermod bryce -d /home/bryce -s /bin/bash ... -s i should be able to set the SHELL... but it is saying "user /bin/bash does not exist"
[23:27] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: I'm not blaming you for anything.

[23:29] <spO> is mv --backup   different than cp -R ?
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> bdelin88: i think the order is important
[23:29] <_20eric06_> Primary master is CDROM, and neither have slaves
[23:29] <jcmarini> gidday from oz
[23:29] <_20eric06_> So is hdc1 right? Why didn't it boot?
[23:29] <Halitech> _20eric06_, did you install grub?
[23:29] <ikonia> _20eric06_: disks are refernced by uuid in the boot arguments
[23:29] <acicula> sp0 man mv, -R is for recursive, dunno what --backup does
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> bdelin88: i think you put the username last
[23:29] <macman_> guys .. is it hard to setup pxe on ubuntu ?
[23:30] <_20eric06_> Halitech: It has GRUB and LILO installs
[23:30] <acicula> macman_: no
[23:30] <ikonia> _20eric06_: why are you asking for DSL help in an Ubuntu support channel
[23:30] <bdelin88> ActionParsnip: hmm
[23:30] <MTeck> nice - just trimmed ~100 packages from my system - down to 848 without missing anything I want
[23:30] <_20eric06_> I thought it installed them automatically
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> bdelin88: http://www.computerhope.com/unix/usermod.htm
[23:30] <acicula> macman_: ubuntu even has a wiki about it
[23:30] <_20eric06_> ikonia: There is no other place to ask, I just need quick install help
[23:30] <ikonia> _20eric06_: sorry - not here
[23:30] <macman_> hmm
[23:30] <Halitech> _20eric06_, ok, did you install either of them? you have to tell it to install 1 of them
[23:30] <ikonia> _20eric06_: try the dSL channel
[23:30] <ikonia> Halitech: we do not support DSL in here
[23:30] <_20eric06_> ikonia: Mind directing me to it? #knoppix is deal
[23:30] <_20eric06_> dead*
[23:31] <ikonia> _20eric06_: I don't know the dsl channel, may #dsl ?
[23:31] <MTeck> 830*
[23:31] <ActionParsnip> its #damnsmalllinux
[23:31] <TheMusicGuy> Again I ask--and mnaines, feel free not to answer--how can I tell Ubuntu to stop changing my power profile by itself?
[23:31] <ikonia> ActionParsnip: thank yo u
[23:31] <acicula> Dont trims, programs love company
[23:31] <SealedWithAKiss> ActionParsnip, does that output help at all?
[23:31] <acicula> -s
[23:31] <ActionParsnip> all of 12 users
[23:32] <macman_> acicula that wiki looks complicated
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> SealedWithAKiss: if it looks ok then restart x, see what you get. i purposefully avoid ati
[23:32] <SealedWithAKiss> ActionParsnip, why do you?
[23:32] <acicula> macman_: well it's not plug and play, it does entail either some skill or willingness to learn
[23:33] <gartral> SealedWithAKiss: ATI +Linux = poor graphics
[23:33] <ActionParsnip> SealedWithAKiss: as nvidia have far better suport, so i always buy their cards
[23:33] <j2daosh> anyone in here use colinux?
[23:33] <PovAddict> acicula: well I have X back... on vesa driver :(
[23:33] <ikonia> j2daosh: that's not relevent in here
[23:33] <acicula> macman_: it's relatively straightforward though, run dhcpc to point to the right location and run a tftp server
[23:33] <j2daosh> i tried colinux room but all 6 people are dead
[23:33] <antonius602> yeah, if ur into eyecandy, and gayness of the sort, not performance....ati is not for you..in fact..it even performs subpar
[23:33] <ikonia> j2daosh: sorry - that doesn't mean #ubuntu should support you
[23:33] <bdelin88> i made a usermod mistake and i need some help getting that fixed here's what i did: useradd -g pureftp -d /dev/null -s /etc bryce
[23:33] <j2daosh> ikonia: it is seeing how as im running ubuntu on it
[23:33] <Halitech> TheMusicGuy, how does it change it? (sorry, missed most of the first part of your issue)
[23:33] <acicula> PovAddict: you can reinstall the good nvidia driver i think, nvidia-glx-new?
[23:33] <matt132> By all means let me know if this is not the place to ask this type of question: I
[23:33] <j2daosh> all i want to know is how to expand the partition so i can get ubuntu goodness
[23:33] <ikonia> j2daosh: well how does colinux questions be relevent
[23:34] <bdelin88> i made a usermod mistake and i need some help getting that fixed here's what i did: useradd -g pureftp -d /dev/null -s /etc bryce
[23:34] <acicula> PovAddict: nv driver will also work, but i'm a bit outdated on how to tell ubuntu how to load a specific driver
[23:34] <ikonia> j2daosh: you need to unmount it - delete it and remove it, or use a tool like gparted
[23:34] <SealedWithAKiss> ActionParsnip, is an ATI card okay though? Will it perform as well as under Windows with a little tweaking?
[23:34] <matt132> I've heard some negative things about songbird as a music player, what makes it a poor choice?
[23:34] <groowy> could anyone help me pls? i my fstab file is gone and after then i rebooted my computer i got a message in blue box says: "could not start the x server.." then i boot safe mode and tried some fixes there. now i m using my ubuntu but fstab file is still not exist. what should i do?
[23:34] <TheMusicGuy> Halitech: Whenever I insert or remove the AC or resume from standby, the power profile changes. It used to go to OnDemand mode, but now it seems to be going to Performance mode.
[23:34] <Paavi2_0> !poll | matt132
[23:34] <Explodus_> if anybody has an idea about a GDM deadlock/system freeze  upon boot pls post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7839029
[23:34] <j2daosh> because its linux, i would imagine whatever you use for repartiioning
[23:34] <j2daosh> gparted, ok, ill give that a shot
[23:34] <ikonia> j2daosh: gparted
[23:34] <acicula> groowy: fstab does not regenerate, you'll have to manually specify one
[23:34] <bdelin88> i made a usermod mistake and i need some help getting that fixed here's what i did: useradd -g pureftp -d /dev/null -s /etc bryce
[23:35] <PovAddict> j2daosh: well this is not general linux support
[23:35] <Flare183> !repeat | bdelin88
[23:35] <acicula> bdelin88: userdel bryce and try again?
[23:35] <matt132> ok Paavi2_0 thank you.
[23:35] <ikonia> bdelin88: what do you want figinx, the shell or directory ?
[23:35] <ikonia> fixing
[23:35] <ActionParsnip> SealedWithAKiss: it will give a fine desktop. theyare still a little behind with drivers but with some tweaking you can get an ok 3d performance for games
[23:35] <PovAddict> acicula: worst part... some apps are faster now
[23:35] <bdelin88> ikonia: i accidentally did usermod not user add, sry...bryce is an important user i need to keep so i need to fix both the directory and the shell
[23:35] <acicula> PovAddict:  :D
[23:36] <bdelin88> ikonia: i tried reading the MAN page but i think i have syntax errors
[23:36] <ikonia> bdelin88: re-use usermod to set them back to the old parameters
[23:36] <groowy> acicula: how can i do it? is there any address u know can show me in a easy way? when i checked ubuntu page it was too complicated for me.
[23:36] <ikonia> bdelin88: the synatax you gave are fine
[23:36] <Paavi2_0> matt132: that said, i haven't really ever tried songbird... what works for me might not work for you and so on you know...
[23:36] <Halitech> TheMusicGuy, never heard of that and I'm using a desktop so dont have any clue how to help
[23:36] <acicula> PovAddict: the vesa driver is pretty horible, if you can change it to the nv driver it should be a bit better, or the nvidia driver by nvidia
[23:37] <ispiked> I need help installing software from a PPA archive. the problem is that the PPA archive has the same package names as the ubuntu archives
[23:37] <PovAddict> ispiked: if they are newer versions, then they'll show as upgrades
[23:37] <ispiked> and I don't see both versions in launchpad
[23:37] <bdelin88> ikonia i did this: usermod bryce -d /home/bryce -s /bin/bash and it says "user /bin/bash does not exist"
[23:37] <x404x> how long could a make take to complete ?
[23:37] <ikonia> bdelin88: put "bryce" at the end
[23:37] <Lasivian> does anyone know if the "Dell Wireless 700" GPS unit in their netbooks will work with ubuntu? thanks
[23:38] <PovAddict> bdelin88: try no space between -s and /bin/bash
[23:38] <ikonia> bdelin88: your missing the username
[23:38] <ikonia> bdelin88: the username goes at the end - not the start
[23:38] <gartral> x404x: depending on params, system, and code, several secconds to several days
[23:38] <ikonia> PovAddict: the space is fine
[23:38] <acicula> also PovAddict since you have X :), http://xkcd.com/386/
[23:38] <bdelin88> PovAddict: the space thing doesn't work
[23:38] <bdelin88> ikonia: that did it! i knew i was messin up something
[23:38] <MTeck> bdelin88: you need the space
[23:38] <ikonia> acicula: please keep that sort of link in #ubuntu-offtopic please, this is a support channel
[23:39] <bdelin88> MTeck: yea i thought so... to be consistent
[23:39] <ispiked> PovAddict: well, I've added the PPA repos and it's still not showing up: https://launchpad.net/~eclipse-team/+archive/ppa
[23:39] <PovAddict> did you run apt-get update?
[23:39] <MTeck> bdelin88: Do this instead -> useradd -m -s /bin/bash bryce
[23:39] <x404x> im getting some live child lines in my make output ? does it mean i havent shut down the stuff i want to make properly ?
[23:39] <bdelin88> MTeck: yea it worked like that, it's all normal again, thanks!
[23:39] <ikonia> x404x: depends on what you are making and the error
[23:39] <ispiked> PovAddict: yes. it looks like the builds for jaunty may have failed there?
[23:40] <MTeck> bdelin88: you need the user name to add at the end - just use -m instead of giving it a specific home directory instead though - it's what I alsways use
[23:40] <x404x> pgpverify and i get a pid also, but i do not need pgpverify its just part of the package im compiling
[23:40] <ispiked> PovAddict: hm, yes. I think that's the problem
[23:40] <MTeck> bdelin88: I'm not sure is bash is default but I always specify it
[23:40] <bdelin88> MTeck: it's fine with me i haven't gotten that far to use that yet anyways
[23:41] <EvilPenguin|> so im really really confused
[23:41] <EvilPenguin|> i install ubuntu (32/64BIT) and the drivers arent autofinding. .
[23:41] <mido> guyz ,, I got a satellite card in my computer ,, but i cant find a program to run it,, what can i do ?
[23:41] <EvilPenguin|> i have the LiveCd and they are theere
[23:42] <EvilPenguin|> I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS!
[23:42] <ikonia> EvilPenguin|: clam down
[23:42] <ikonia> clam
[23:42] <EvilPenguin|> lol
[23:42] <ikonia> EvilPenguin|: what is the problem
[23:42] <EvilPenguin|> hmm..
[23:42] <EvilPenguin|> well
[23:42] <PovAddict> drivers reinstalled, rebooting
[23:42] <EvilPenguin|> ubuntu LiveCD finds all my drivers..
[23:42] <Halitech> EvilPenguin|, which did you install? the 32bit or the 64bit? what drivers aren't being auto installed?
[23:42] <EvilPenguin|> i isntalled both
[23:42] <ikonia> EvilPenguin|: summerise the question on one line
[23:42] <ikonia> EvilPenguin|: you don't install both - you install one
[23:42] <EvilPenguin|> and they both wont find the graphics card and wireless card. .
[23:42] <trayzz> will it create a problem to install kde apps like amarok in gnome?
[23:42] <SealedWithAKiss> I am no closer to getting the drivers working for my ATI GFX card.
[23:43] <x404x> hm it seems to only compile under the tree the files are. I told configure the paths or all files and got no errors . .but make fails and i get noting in the dirs i specified for the bins etc
[23:43] <EvilPenguin|> ikonia: i know this...
[23:43] <kai> i still unable to find what takes all my disk space the file du -h > du.txt looks ok
[23:43] <ikonia> EvilPenguin|: ok - so please summerise your problem
[23:43] <Halitech> EvilPenguin|, which do you have installed currently?
[23:43] <PovAddict> x404x: you used --prefix=somepath?
[23:43] <mido> guin|> ikonia: i know this...
 i still unable to find what takes all my disk space the file du -h > du.txt looks ok
[23:43] <ikonia> mido: what ?
[23:43] <EvilPenguin|> i have 32BIT installed now
[23:43] <EvilPenguin|> my problem is
[23:43] <mido> guin|> ikonia: i know this...
 i still unable to find what takes all my disk space the file du -h > du.txt looks ok
[23:43] <x404x> yes prefix and a lot of other parameters
[23:43] <kai> yes all files are tine
[23:43] <EvilPenguin|> the drivers will be there on the LiveCd but not when i install it to the partition
[23:43] <PovAddict> x404x: files aren't put there when you run make
[23:43] <trayzz> will it create a problem to install kde apps like amarok in gnome?
[23:43] <ikonia> mido: why are you repeating this ?
[23:43] <PovAddict> x404x: you run 'make install'
[23:43] <Halitech> EvilPenguin|, what video card do you have?
[23:44] <mido> sorry ... i dont knw
[23:44] <EvilPenguin|> gfore 9600 OC
[23:44] <EvilPenguin|> gforce*
[23:44] <ikonia> mido: stop please
[23:44] <PovAddict> trayzz: more memory usage compared to using only gnome apps
[23:44] <x404x> should i run make install ?
[23:44] <gartral> EvilPenguin|: that's an nvidia card... lol
[23:44] <EvilPenguin|> yup yup . .
[23:44] <ikonia> x404x: only if your build makes without issue
[23:44] <Halitech> EvilPenguin|, if you go to System - Admin - Hard ware drivers, is anything there?
[23:44] <EvilPenguin|> nope
[23:44] <mido> guyz ,, I got a satellite card in my computer ,, but i cant find a program to run it,, what can i do ?
[23:44] <trayzz> PovAddict thanks alot..still thinking about songbird tho
[23:44] <ikonia> x404x: if you have errors - don't run make install
[23:44] <kai> openoffice takes a lot put not 5G
[23:44] <EvilPenguin|> and on the livecd Halitech there is drivers there
[23:45] <Halitech> EvilPenguin|, ok, then you need to get the drivers from the nvidia website
[23:45] <kai> and something is filing it up to the max
[23:45] <EvilPenguin|> did that, didnt work. .
[23:45] <ikonia> EvilPenguin|: can you pastebin the output of "lspci" in a pastebin please
[23:45] <EvilPenguin|> one second please. . .
[23:45] <x404x> if i type only make i get an error about a sample newsfeeds file being different
[23:45] <mido> i need help  ,, I got a satellite card in my computer ,, but i cant find a program to run it,, what can i do ?
[23:45] <ikonia> x404x: then do not type make install
[23:46] <Halitech> EvilPenguin|, what didn't work? the install failed at some point or you still dont have the resolution you want or ???
[23:46] <x404x> it says i need to update the file but how ?
[23:46] <ikonia> x404x: you will install incomplete/broke software on your system and cause problems
[23:46] <ikonia> x404x: depends on the file
[23:46] <ikonia> x404x: what are you trying to build ?
[23:46] <x404x> inn 2.5
[23:46] <nnorbi> what can i do, if i don't want maximus to maximize vlc windows?
[23:46] <ikonia> x404x: inn ? never heard of that
[23:46] <EvilPenguin|> Halitech: i want my drivers to autofind like the do on the LiveCD.. i have looked around for my drivers and nothing works...
[23:46] <ikonia> x404x: can you provide a link to where you got it from please.
[23:46] <x404x> its a news server
[23:46] <TheMusicGuy> mnaines: you still here?
[23:47] <x404x> http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/inn/docs-2.5/install.html
[23:47] <EvilPenguin|> ikonia: its on the other computer, so this may take me a minute. . .
[23:47] <mido> guyz ,, I got a satellite card in my computer ,, but i cant find a program to run it,, what can i do ?
[23:47] <Halitech> EvilPenguin|, unfortunately that doesn't always work and you have to manually install them
[23:47] <ikonia> x404x: inn2 is the package name, it's in the ubuntu repos
[23:47] <ikonia> x404x: it's built for you
[23:47] <ikonia> EvilPenguin|: no rush
[23:47] <ikonia> !info inn2
[23:47] <EvilPenguin|> Halitech: ok well then where do i get the netgearWN311B drivers?
[23:47] <Halitech> EvilPenguin|, lets stick with 1 issue at a time
[23:47] <SealedWithAKiss> Can anybody help. I have recently bought an ATI Radeon Sapphire HD 4670 graphics card. This card is working fine on windows, however since booting into Linux my display has been very poor. There are no Linux drivers with the installation CD, and the .run installation file for the drivers from the ATI website don't help either. At this moment in time, my integrated card was doing better than this!
[23:48] <x404x> it seems to leave out alot of files if i use the ubuntu repos
[23:48] <ikonia> !ati > SealedWithAKiss
[23:48] <braindead> any idea when i install a theme(gtk) it shows a big question mark in the theme selecter? im installing them by putting them in /usr/share/themes
[23:48] <x404x> dirs/files missing
[23:48] <mido> pleassssssssssssssse
[23:48] <mido> guyz ,, I got a satellite card in my computer ,, but i cant find a program to run it,, what can i do ?
[23:48] <ikonia> x404x: you may want to speak to the guys who maintain inn for specific build help
[23:49] <Halitech> SealedWithAKiss, what happens when you use the drivers from the ati site?
[23:49] <SealedWithAKiss> ikonia, that page doesn't help either. I'm already there. I'm new to Linux, cant can't quite grasp the more technical terms being used in the article.
[23:49] <ikonia> x404x: you are also aware of inn2-inews I assume
[23:49] <ikonia> SealedWithAKiss: unfortunantly certain ati cards have very poor linux support
[23:49] <x404x> what about inews ?
[23:49] <EvilPenguin|> Halitech: ok cool
[23:49] <x404x> i thought this was inn and not inn2 ?
[23:49] <SealedWithAKiss> Halitech, the display is fine and then just reverts back to being rubbish.
[23:50] <ikonia> x404x: it the package inn2-inews may contain the missing components you want
[23:50] <EvilPenguin|> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/m7b258ae6
[23:50] <mido> ikonia: I got a satellite card in my computer ,, but i cant find a program to run it,, what can i do ?
[23:50] <ikonia> !info inn2-inews
[23:50] <SealedWithAKiss> ikonia, I wish the dude in the shop had told me that. He asked what OS I was going to be using it with.
[23:50] <ikonia> mido: why are you asking me ?
[23:50] <ikonia> SealedWithAKiss: I can't help with that
[23:50] <mido> cuz no one answer mw
[23:50] <mido> me
[23:50] <SealedWithAKiss> Thanks anyway ikonia.
[23:50] <j2daosh> what is the filesystem used typically by ubuntu?
[23:50] <j2daosh> ext3?
[23:50] <ikonia> j2daosh: that's the default
[23:50] <Halitech> SealedWithAKiss, the 4670 should work with the catalyst 9.8 driver
[23:51] <mido> ikonia: cuz no one answers me
[23:51] <ikonia> EvilPenguin|: interesting, the 9600gt should be supported
[23:51] <Halitech> SealedWithAKiss, http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.37&lang=English
[23:51] <ikonia> EvilPenguin|: what version of ubuntu are you using ?
[23:51] <j2daosh> ikonia and to mount a ext3 drive, its 'mount -t ext3 /dev/device/ /mnt/mountpoint' yes?
[23:51] <SealedWithAKiss> ikonia, besides that 'How to' doesn't apply to my model of card.
[23:51] <ikonia> j2daosh: works well
[23:51] <EvilPenguin|> ikonia: the newest. . .
[23:51] <EvilPenguin|> i686
[23:51] <braindead> any idea when i install a theme(gtk) it shows a big question mark in the theme selecter? im installing them by putting them in /usr/share/themes
[23:51] <j2daosh> is there a way to auto detect a mount type?
[23:52] <nothingHappens> hi, i'm trying to record some audio from my line in with audacity.  it seems to work fine as long as I don't use the Software Playthrough.  But I want to be able to hear what's recording :/  If I turn on Software Playthough, it sounds like total dick when it's not crashing.  Anything I can do?
[23:52] <ikonia> EvilPenguin|: which one, 9.04 or 9.10 /
[23:52] <j2daosh> i believe its ext3, but it could be ext4, reiser, or even fat... i dont know
[23:52] <ikonia> j2daosh: drop -t ext3 - it should auto mount if the file system is supported in the kernel
[23:52] <EvilPenguin|> ikonia: 9.04
[23:52] <j2daosh> ikonia, tried that, ubuntu is saying i must give it a type
[23:52] <SealedWithAKiss> Halitech, thanks. That's the driver I have already installed as far as I am aware. Nothing has changed though.
[23:52] <ikonia> EvilPenguin|: and there is nothing in the hardware drivers application ?
[23:52] <ikonia> j2daosh: try ext3, ext3, reiser
[23:52] <EvilPenguin|> only a wireless STA driver ikonia
[23:53] <boss_mc> j2daosh: look at it in gparted, that will tell you the filesystem
[23:53] <ikonia> EvilPenguin|: that's quite odd
[23:53] <EvilPenguin|> by far. .
[23:53] <canthus13> mido: The first thing you need to do is find out if someone else has gotten it working.  Try googling for the make and model of the card, along with the term 'ubuntu' and see what comes up.
[23:53] <EvilPenguin|> ikonia: it finds my driver with LiveCD tho. .
[23:53] <Halitech> SealedWithAKiss, and you ran sudo aticonfig --initial ?
[23:53] <ikonia> EvilPenguin|: ahhhh, I wonder, is your machine on the internet ?
[23:53] <EvilPenguin|> ikonia: no its not. .
[23:53] <SealedWithAKiss> Halitech, is that 64bit? I have 32-bit. I haven't ran that command no.
[23:54] <EvilPenguin|> i have no wireless driver. .
[23:54] <j2daosh> boss_mc: cant, only have a console, x isn't installed
[23:54] <ikonia> EvilPenguin|: bingo !
[23:54] <ikonia> EvilPenguin|: it can't get the updates that tell it he 9600 is supported
[23:54] <boss_mc> j2daosh: use parted
[23:54] <EvilPenguin|> ahh!!!
[23:54] <EvilPenguin|> haha
[23:54] <EvilPenguin|> so i need to hook the net up to it?
[23:54] <ikonia> EvilPenguin|: not %100 but it would certainly rule that out
[23:54] <Halitech> SealedWithAKiss, with my x1200 it was the same driver download for both 32 and 64 ... you need to run the inital setup to have it take effect
