[02:54] <no_hdd> Zenerek, this system does detect the USB flash drive, but the problem is that it is NOT detected while loading grub. Once I boot the system up, it sees the drive.
[02:54] <Genefreak> just playing midi files at the moment, but will want connectivity later on....... just to play my soundcard's wavetable from a keyboard.
[02:54] <craigbass1976> Ok folks, I'm at the end of a long rope, hanging on to the knot I tied yesterday...  I am trying, without much success, to get UBuntu running on a Dell Inspiron 1100.  I read the forums and all I saw to do was update the bios, which I did.  I've tried dapper, edgy, feisty, xubdapper, kubdapper, kubedgy.  Xub and kub at least got me to an arrow or an x (respectively) but that's where things died.
[02:54] <tsurc> erlingre: its possible with windows as the plugin is part of the windows OO installation.. and it works a treat. But we don't want to go down that route. We want the arrive at the same place but using ubuntu/firefox. apparently debian includes it in its OO pagkages but Ubuntu doesn't.... so I've been told.
[02:55] <jrib> craigbass1976: have you managed to install it?
[02:55] <no_hdd> Zenerek, so there is no problem with detecting the drive. Infact I had formatted the flash drive after having booted up ubuntu live
[02:55] <antario> anything with my 9310 tablet?...?
[02:55] <Kerzinger> ubuntu-problem: after kernel-update and reboot the X-Window-System complains in /var/log/Xorg.0.log : Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module! what are the steps for remedy a newwbee can do?
[02:55] <craigbass1976> jrib, no, I can't even boot to it.  I've also tried two versions of knoppix, but the only OS I can get up on this rig is PuppyLinux
[02:56] <Jowi> !midi | Genefreak
[02:56] <ubotu> Genefreak: Trouble playing MIDI files? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MidiSoftwareSynthesisHowTo
[02:56] <craigbass1976> jrib, that's how I backed up the files before trying an install
[02:56] <jrib> craigbass1976: did you try to use the Alternate CD?
[02:56] <xtlosx> hey does anyone know if there are issues with Ubuntu and Dell Latitude D531, it has an ATI Radeon Xpress 1270, and the regular 7.04 installer won't run, X can't start.. Any ideas?
[02:56] <antario> please.... can anyone help me?
[02:56] <craigbass1976> jrib, I thought I did, but can you give me the link to the exact download spot?  The iso I downloaded thinking it was the alternate cd seems to be a regular dapper iso
[02:57] <nd81x> can someone tell me where i can find ncurses-dev for fiesty? plz
[02:57] <jrib> craigbass1976: releases.ubuntu.com
[02:57] <erUSUL> nd81x: 'apt-cache search ncurses'
[02:57] <Jowi> !info ncurses-dev
[02:57] <ubotu> Package ncurses-dev does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[02:57] <Zenerek> i though maybe you wanted to install ubuntu on the pendrive or did you want to have a live cd image on the drive? anyway it seems obvious that 1 your bios are too old or 2 you missed a setting in the bios
[02:57] <gandalfcome> ,er
[02:58] <kilosux> hi
[02:58] <no_hdd> Zenerek, the bios is too old. It does not have an option to boot off a USB device :(
[02:58] <gandalfcome> Kerzinger: I have the same problem is there anyone who can help ? thanks
[02:58] <kilosux> is it possible to download film whith wget from videogoogle ?
[02:58] <antario> Zenerek, can you help me with my 9310 digital tablet?
[02:58] <erUSUL> nd81x: 'apt-cache search ncurses'| head  will give you a more acurate answer ;P
[02:58] <no_hdd> I had never done anything other than pop in a CD and install to HDD. This one is a little off the normal way to install linux.
[02:59] <antario> i will bother you guys until you help me :)
[02:59] <craigbass1976> jrib, well there.  That's not the one I got.  I went to the regular download page and checked a box that I thought would give me the alternate.  Eghads, this stack of discs is getting big.  I should go into the city and peddle them.... "Hey kid, want to try something?"
[02:59] <jrib> craigbass1976: haha
[02:59] <Zenerek> antario sorry i can't
[02:59] <craigbass1976> antario, You might get rather shunned with statements like "i will bother you guys until you help me :)"
[03:00] <erlingre> tsurc: I would have tried to install the plugin manually in Ubuntu. Maybe filed a bug-report with a request to include the plugin.
[03:00] <antario> sorry...
[03:00] <RedGhost> If I wanted to view the source code of something like "rm" where would I find it?
[03:00] <Xteven> hi, how can I autostart programs when gnome is started ? I want to set this up for all users (i.e. systemwide)
[03:00] <craigbass1976> antario, But let me read back and see if I was in here when you asked the question...
[03:00] <jrib> !please > antario (see the private message from ubotu)
[03:00] <Xteven> RedGhost: check which package the binary belongs to, and download the source
[03:00] <Xteven> dpkg -S /bin/rm
[03:01] <yellow_chicken> anyone know how to setup gdb's core dump function?  ulimit -c unlimited <-- i did this, but don't know what to do next
[03:01] <Xteven> rm belongs to package coreutils
[03:01] <jrib> RedGhost: apt-get source PACKAGE   will get you the source for the package as Xteven suggested
[03:01] <nd81x> i need install this ncurses-dev, but don't know how? :p
[03:01] <Jowi> RedGhost, first find which package rm is in: "dpkg -S /bin/rm" then "apt-get source packagename"
[03:01] <craigbass1976> antario, Sorry dude, no idea.  My wife has a tablet from work and I was hoping to mess with it a bit, but they failed to put a cdrom in.
[03:01] <Xteven> RedGhost: then check https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/5.97-5.3ubuntu1
[03:01] <RedGhost> alright, downloading know thanks guys
[03:01] <erUSUL> antario: the truth is that not many people uses graphic tablets so maybe none here can help you...
[03:01] <craigbass1976> antario, are not able to boot to a cd, or install, or what?
[03:01] <Xteven> or apt-get source indeed :)
[03:02] <jrib> Xteven: /etc/xdg/autostart/  works like ~/.config/autostart/ but system-wide
[03:02] <antario> yeah, I was afraid...
[03:02] <Xteven> jrib: aha interesting, thx :)
[03:02] <craigbass1976> antario, did you search ubuntu forums for your model number, or graphics tablet?
[03:02] <antario> i mean it is connected, but not working...
[03:02] <antario> yes

[03:05] <Jowi> logmein, might be that the DNS is faulty
[03:06] <bullgard4> What is meant with 'tty11' in my /dev/tty11?

[03:07] <bullgard4> Lumiere: I do not have 11 terminals!

[03:08] <bentob0x> this might sound like a noob question but how can I make my command prompt letters white?
[03:08] <Lumiere> bullgard4: you many not see them, but they're there if you need them
[03:08] <gordonjcp> bentob0x: check in the profiles section of the menus
[03:08] <logmein> Jowi: cat resolv.conf says output/input error and when I do mousepad /etc/resolv.conf it shows blank
[03:08] <bullgard4> Lumiere: Can you elaborate?
[03:08] <JuJuBee> What is the command to apt-get the linux headers?
[03:08] <fabio__|> where crond stores logfile about what it executed? thanks
[03:08] <atomiku> Is there any way to start firestarter through the console? (SSH)
[03:08] <Fawaz> !openssh | fawaz
[03:08] <gordonjcp> bentob0x: you can set the colours
[03:09] <Jowi> bentob0x, "xterm -fg white -bg black" or check the profile settings in gnome-terminal
[03:09] <MattJ> Fawaz: It is a new installation?
[03:09] <Jowi> logmein, ls -la /etc/resolv.conf
[03:09] <Lumiere> bullgard4: do I really need to? you shouldn't really be worried at all about anything in dev
[03:09] <Fawaz> Mattj: yes
[03:09] <jrib> atomiku: why do you want to?
[03:09] <bentob0x> is there not a .bashrc file or something into which I can make the changes for it?
[03:09] <atomiku> jrib: long story. How can I?
[03:10] <bentob0x> at the moment, my outout is grey which is what I want but I want also the prompt to be white
[03:10] <jrib> atomiku: the answer depends on my question
[03:10] <Fawaz> mattj: i donno what i'm missing or how to configure it
[03:10] <atomiku> jrib: i have no monitor or mouse for it
[03:10] <MattJ> Fawaz: I think it is normal to get a warning the first time you log in. It is just telling you to be sure that the place you are logging into is somewhere you trust...
[03:10] <atomiku> jrib: and i cant plug this one in because the box is far away
[03:10] <ubuntu-rocks> what free irc windows client do you guys recommend?
[03:10] <atomiku> ..
[03:10] <atomiku> xchat
[03:10] <fabio__|> bentob0x: maybe you shold set your terminal options
[03:10] <atomiku> ubuntu-rocks: xchat
[03:10] <MattJ> ubuntu-rocks: Miranda IM <3
[03:11] <Fawaz> MattJ: but after the warning i get Host key verification failed.
[03:11] <osfameron> xchat is fairly sane and comes preinstalled with ubuntu I think
[03:11] <MattJ> Fawaz: Oh, I don't know...
[03:11] <logmein> Jowi: doesn't that do the same as cat? it yielded the same error input/output problem
[03:11] <atomiku> jrib: so.. any ideas?
[03:11] <jrib> atomiku: so you want to edit policies.  It's probably better to just setup !iptables rules, b ut if you forward X, then you should be able to just run 'gksu firestarter' and get firestarter to pop up remotely
[03:11] <Jowi> logmein, if it does not exist create it. the syntax is very simple. "gksudo mousepad /etc/resolv.conf" nameserver 1st.ip.add.ress (new line) nameserver 2nd.ip.add.ress (save file). restart network if needed with "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart"
[03:11] <JuJuBee> Anybody : apt-get for linux headers... iirc something like `uname -r` ...?
[03:11] <atomiku> jrib: hmm
[03:12] <Fawaz> maybe someone here could help please, i get Host key verification failed. when i try to login to my ssh server
[03:12] <atomiku> jrib: okay thanks
[03:12] <kenthomson>  I need some help setting up my Cowon Iaudio u2 with Amarok 1.4.5. I am on Feisty Fawn. The u2 is detected fine and is a ums device so drag and drop is possible but how do i set it up in amarok? Please help. I think this could be causing the problem, in the configure media device dialog box, the song location reads "%filename.%filetype" and the example song location (this is a dynamic field which can't be hand-edited but it displays the effect of the
[03:12] <kenthomson> before mentioned field) says "/mnt/iaudio-u2//some file.mp3".  I have set that mount point and it is correct and functional. I think those two // are causing the trouble. How do i remove those TWO "//"s. i mean how can a song location be "/mnt/iaudio-u2//some file.mp3"? (How does anyone parse that kind of two-"//"s). But there could be another problem too, i don't know.

[03:18] <logmein> Jowi: oh one more thing I noticed is on boot it displays bug error # with bios. I'm using pheonix bios and I use that with another computer. Any idea how to fix that or will I need to reflash?
[03:18] <Jowi> !patience | kenthomson
[03:18] <ubotu> kenthomson: The people here are volunteers, your attitude may determine how fast you are helped.  Not everyone is available all the time, likewise not every answer is available instantly. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[03:18] <mattwalston> ubuntuish, i had it happen before but did not really care, if I wanted a pretty gui i would get one
[03:19] <mattwalston> kenthomson, if someone knows the answer and finds your attitude agreeable you will certainly get it
[03:19] <Jowi> logmein, I never had any errors like that so I wouldn't know.
[03:19] <kenthomson> ubuntuish, Do this "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" Looks for Section "screen", add this option if it is not there "	Option 		"AddARGBGLXVisuals" 	"true""
[03:19] <ubuntuish> kenthomson, done :/
[03:19] <logmein> Jowi: I was thinking about reflashing some new firmware anyway just for the fun of it xD
[03:19] <ubuntuish> kenthomson, i've reading and checking everywhere :/
[03:19] <lalo> ok, quick one.  In the non-ubuntu install I had before on the laptop, I could put "xset -dpms s off" on my xinitrc, and it would stop the monitor from blanking (I like to blank explicitly when I'm not using, as I often use the laptop to watch progress of stuff)
[03:19] <lalo> now it's running xubuntu, and even after xset, it still blanks.  What's wrong?  Some ACPI/APM thing maybe?
[03:20] <ubuntuish> what sucks most is i think its my resolution coz the effects were working fine when the resoltuion was in 1024x768
[03:20] <kenthomson> ubuntuish, Log-out and log-in, see whether you are having the title bar
[03:20] <ubuntuish> that i have to try, yes
[03:20] <logmein> Jowi: another *very* annoying error is that bcm43xxmicrocode5.fw is missing thing. How do you remove that? even if you do get it working with nidswrapper it still pesters you right?
[03:20] <Arrick> heya lall
[03:20] <Jowi> ubuntuish, 1st make sure you have emerald installed, next make sure you have Composite enabled in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:20] <Arrick> how do i copy all the files in one directory, into another directory? I need the whole directory duplicated...
[03:21] <ubuntuish> Jowi, but it worked earlier
[03:21] <Supaplex> Arrick: man cp :) or rsync.
[03:21] <logmein> ubuntuish: there is also xgl on top of xorg method and you might want to try different versions of beryl some work better with different cards
[03:21] <dbrewer_rjr> what is the best graphical ftp client for ubuntu?
[03:21] <ubuntuish> i am not using beryl
[03:21] <Jowi> logmein, I know nothing about troubleshooting wifi. It just worked for me.
[03:21] <ubuntuish> using the desktop effects which come with ubuntu
[03:21] <logmein> dbrewer_rjr: hmm filezilla is nice
[03:22] <dbrewer_rjr> logmein: does it have an apt-get install?
[03:22] <logmein> yep
[03:22] <Jowi> ubuntuish, oh.
[03:22] <dbrewer_rjr> thankx
[03:22] <Zenerek> speaking of gnome, does anyone know why it's such a hog?
[03:22] <lalo> nobody knows?  thanks :-P
[03:22] <logmein> dbrewer_rjr: also you could try swiftfox and a few about:config tweaks. If you do torrents I recommend bit tornado
[03:23] <ubuntuish>  [Mem]   Usage: 469/2026MB (23.15%)
[03:23] <ubuntuish> hog?
[03:23] <ubuntuish> i have music playing, wine + mirc, azureus running, firefox
[03:23] <ubuntuish> :/
[03:23] <logmein> ubuntuish: nah if the memory is there it reserves extra for applications unless it requires more memory then it tightens down
[03:23] <Jowi> Zenerek, it's getting bloated. but if it is very very slow on starting apps there's a bug which is that if you don't have a hostname it will slow everything down.
[03:23] <logmein> ubuntuish: linux kernel is very dynamic with memory
[03:24] <craigbass1976> jrib, I'm at 60%... This seems to take forever when I'm waiting on just that download
[03:24] <ubuntuish> i didn't say it was a hog :/
[03:24] <Jowi> Zenerek, cat /etc/hostname to see if it exist
[03:24] <bedboi> hi there... is there a way to install ubuntu from the command line using the live cd?
[03:25] <lalo> gnome is not necessarily designed to be lean and fast, it has other priorities.  If you prefer lean and fast than pretty and featureful, try xfce (xubuntu) instead
[03:25] <lalo> although to my admittedly skewed taste, xfce is prettier
[03:25] <logmein> ubuntuish: well if your conscerned about memory might consider xubuntu, sys-rc-conf is nice app to turn off services too, and instead of init ubuntu uses a sys v boot system if your interested in tweaking it up
[03:25] <ubuntuish> bro it wasn't me!
[03:25] <ubuntuish> :/
[03:25] <Madsy> Or fluxbuntu
[03:25] <Jowi> lalo, imho xubuntu is not as light as it used to :-/
[03:25] <Madsy> I love fluxbox :-)
[03:26] <ubuntuish> i am the one whining about desktop effects
[03:26] <logmein> ubuntuish: what is problem with them?
[03:26] <ubuntuish> no title bar
[03:26] <ubuntuish> disappears on enable
[03:26] <logmein> Jowi: yeah it needs a lot of work
[03:26] <lalo> Jowi: I'd have to concur :-(  still lighter than gnome though, which my laptop wouldn't be able to run decently
[03:26] <gp|work> ubuntuish: Are you talking about Beryl?
[03:26] <kenthomson> ubuntuish, first log-out and in then come here back
[03:26] <Zenerek> yeah it's there i ask because the other day...or month...whatever, i was here and i was told it may be too much for my pc, well i am running and 800 p3 with 800 ram
[03:27] <logmein> Madsy: any idea how to implement on another window manager that fluxbox ability where you right click on task list at bottom and select kill
[03:27] <lalo> Zenerek: xubuntu material definitely :-D
[03:27] <Jowi> Zenerek, no, that should be fine
[03:27] <ubuntuish> kenthomson i shall do that right now sorry
[03:27] <ubuntuish> gp|work, no berly
[03:27] <ubuntuish> brb
[03:28] <Jowi> Zenerek, type "hostname" in a terminal and see if it's set

[03:30] <logmein> Jinesh: sure but you know there is also open source emulator qemu and most apps can be ran near natively with wine
[03:30] <clarkey> Jowi: sry newbie here ....
[03:30] <Jinesh> lalo my host in wondows and guest is linux
[03:30] <lalo> Jinesh: please don't repeat the question so often, it's called "flooding" and people generally don't like it
[03:30] <vlad_> KomiaPoika, just try using synaptic (the GUI package manager)
[03:31] <lalo> Jinesh: yes, but AFAIK vmware tools for linux doesn't exist
[03:31] <Jinesh> sure lalo
[03:31] <Zenerek> anyway it's that my pc is strong enough because if i have to use my #1 system for gnome (4600 amd dual core 2gb ram serial ata and dvd) then it's time to switch wmgrs
[03:31] <Sevensins> well im leavin
[03:31] <Jowi> clarkey, no need to apologise. a kernel upgrade can make your system unstable.
[03:31] <Sevensins> bye all
[03:31] <clarkey> Jowi: how do I choose a kernel
[03:31] <Tom47> KomiaPoika:  apt-get install openoffice.org
[03:31] <logmein> jinesh: there is vmware support for linux though
[03:31] <Jinesh> lalo : my host is windows and i m using linux as guest on vm
[03:31] <KomiaPoika> Tom47: that installs only a 27kb archive
[03:31] <lalo> yeah
[03:31] <lalo> ubuntu works great in the guest, just no vmware tools
[03:31] <Jowi> clarkey, each time the kernel is upgraded the old one is kept. reboot your computer. at the bootscreen you will be able to chose which kernel to boot.
[03:32] <Jinesh> so my VM tells me to inntall vmware tools on ubuntu
[03:32] <bedboi> ok
[03:32] <logmein> Jinesh: so you want to test out ubuntu? its going to be really slow on emulation
[03:32] <bedboi> thanks
[03:32] <Jinesh> lalo : can u explain in bit detail ?
[03:32] <ExIG> hi, problem with firefox and opera, i get a timeout error when trying to load gmail. it just refuses to load at all could any one help?
[03:32] <lalo> your vm is wrong, it doesn't exist :-)
[03:32] <clarkey> Jowi thanks heaps
[03:32] <tengil> could anyone that knows about harddrive problems take a look at http://pastebin.ca/547649 and tell me what this possibly means. Fucked up disks or some other problem?
[03:32] <lalo> vmware tools only exists for windows guests
[03:32] <Tom47> KomiaPoika: do you have synaptic?
[03:32] <Jinesh> ok
[03:32] <Wips> I try to play a movie, it's 700mb large. But the movie stops at 24 seconds, right after the paramount intro.. As if that's all.. But that can't be 700mb.. Anyone have any idea? I have plenty of codecs
[03:32] <Jinesh> but it is showing me .tar.gz file for vmware tools
[03:32] <KomiaPoika> Tom47: yes
[03:33] <kenthomson> Can aNyOnE help me setup Cowon iaudio u2 in amarok?
[03:33] <Jowi> Wips, corrupted file
[03:33] <tim167> what's the command to see what processor i have ?
[03:33] <Tom47> !ohmy | tengil:
[03:33] <ubotu> tengil:: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[03:33] <gilo1> I'm looking for two different GUIs, one for Snort and one for IPSec, anyone know of any?
[03:33] <Jinesh> also it shows me a .rpm file
[03:33] <Wips> Jowi: oh, k.. anyone I can do about it?
[03:33] <tengil> ubotu: oh im sorry
[03:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about oh im sorry - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:33] <lalo> Jinesh: then I'm wrong and it does exist
[03:33] <skulrid> hello
[03:33] <Wips> Anything* sorry
[03:33] <logmein> tengil: what type of hardrive and model? what output this error? what file system and partitions? did you screw up hdparm?
[03:33] <tengil> messed up disks i ment to say :)
[03:33] <lalo> Jinesh: you want the tar.gz; unpack it somewhere and look in the files, there will be a script that you run to install
[03:33] <Zenerek> Wips: hey i had a prob like that, turns out it was becuase i was not using the best kernel
[03:33] <Genefreak> re midi: i've added the repository but cant find the timidity-patches-eaw download.... any ideas?
[03:33] <Jinesh> ok, thanks lalo for trying to help me
[03:33] <Wips> Zenerek: Kernel?
[03:33] <Tom47> KomiaPoika: try that and you will see a bunch of packages
[03:33] <Jowi> Wips, re-rip the movie.
[03:34] <lalo> Jinesh: I think it's called "install.sh"
[03:34] <Jinesh> but now how should i install an rpm file or tar.gz file
[03:34] <Jinesh> nope it is in perl
[03:34] <Jinesh> .pl extension
[03:34] <noelferreira> wich is the best way to share files betwen to feisty systems?
[03:34] <Zenerek> yeah man the kernel your using,
[03:34] <Jinesh> and ubuntu doesnt seem to have perl
[03:34] <noelferreira> wich is the best way to share files betwen 2 feisty systems?
[03:34] <gp|work> Jinesh: You have to install the Perl package.
[03:35] <Delirium-NL> bot can ya tell me if theres a tutorial for ntfs-3g ?
[03:35] <Jowi> noelferreira, go to the share preferences in the menu
[03:35] <Jinesh> how to install perl package then
[03:35] <Wips> Zenerek: Well what's the "best" kernel and where might I get it?
[03:35] <tengil> logmein: its output by dmesg. i also get the error "read only filesystem" when i try to create something on it now. its a maxtor drive. filesystem is ext3, and i havent changed anything with hdparm anyways
[03:35] <Jowi> !ntfs-3g
[03:35] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[03:35] <skulrid> I have a problem, I cant play any flash or macromedia and firefox always crashes when a page trys to play any media of that kind. I instaled adobe players, the nonfree-flash plugin, bt nothing works, what can I do?? thanks
[03:35] <Tom47> KomiaPoika: which *buntu are you using?
[03:35] <lalo> eep... my firefox is borked... some extensions (noticeably foxyproxy and greasemonkey) don't work at all
[03:35] <logmein> Jinesh: do apt-get install * whatever you need
[03:35] <Delirium-NL> thanks jowi
[03:35] <gp|work> Jinesh: Synaptic Package Manager.. search for Perl and install.
[03:35] <tim167> how can I show my processor type in terminal ?
[03:36] <Delirium-NL> lawl theres a program for it.. gotta love ubuntu, much easier then suse lmao
[03:36] <Jinesh> u mean it has perl
[03:36] <jrib> tim167: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[03:36] <logmein> tim167: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[03:36] <Jinesh> i just need to install it ?
[03:36] <logmein> jrib: darn beat me to it
[03:36] <Jinesh> am i right here ?
[03:36] <tim167> jrib logmein thanx :)
[03:36] <lalo> Jinesh: yes
[03:36] <erUSUL> tengil: it looks to me that the disk may be f***ed doe to the errors linux mount it read only. try to pass a fsck from a liveCD but i think that it may be a hw error
[03:37] <Delirium-NL> woot, works, lol
[03:37] <tim167> jrib logmein  would that also work on a mac OSX machine by any chance ?
[03:37] <tengil> erUSUL: it doesnt mount it read only from start. it worked a bit and i put some files on it then it happened
[03:37] <logmein> tim167: that sort of machine with linux installed yes
[03:37] <skulrid> I have a problem, I cant play any flash or macromedia and firefox always crashes when a page trys to play any media of that kind. I instaled adobe players, the nonfree-flash plugin, bt nothing works, what can I do?? thanks?
[03:38] <logmein> skulrid: umm you using amd64 or x86 ubuntu?
[03:38] <lalo> skulrid: are you on a 64bit ubuntu?  There's no flash for 64bit
[03:38] <skulrid> x86 (i guess lol)
[03:38] <Zenerek> ok, well the best depends on your cpu, wither it's amd or intel and it's power, but you use synaptic package manager to browse for it, search for kernel and read the descriptions, it will tell you what each kernel is, i mean what kernel is for what cpu
[03:39] <logmein> skulrid: do cat /proc/cpuinfo and see what sort of cpu you have
[03:39] <KomiaPoika> Tom47: kubuntu 7.04
[03:39] <skulrid> intel
[03:39] <jrib> skulrid: can you see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/14911 and try the *two* workarounds listed there
[03:39] <noelferreira> Jowi: can you be more specific?
[03:40] <Jinesh> i want to get very familiar with ubuntu as much as i am with windows
[03:40] <erUSUL> tengil: yes when the disk (or controller) or whatever started failing linux did the remount ro...
[03:40] <Jinesh> can anyone suggest me what shoudl i do or begin with
[03:40] <skulrid> logmein lalo, the thing is that I used to see youtube videos, flash aplications etc, but (on miniclip for example) some macromedia failed (no plugin it said) and then I tryed to install some plugins thats when evering stops working
[03:40] <tengil> erUSUL: so since i changed controller twice on that harddrives that messes its quite likely a harddrive failure?
[03:41] <jakub_> hi all, please help, I cannot login: my X says it cannot write to /tmp
[03:41] <Jowi> noelferreira, about what?
[03:41] <jakub_> I freed some 7MB on / already, but no change
[03:41] <ExIG> anyone good with firefox?
[03:41] <Zenerek> wips: you may want to get a kernel that matches your current version to avoid problems
[03:41] <noelferreira> sharing files Jowi
[03:41] <Jinesh> y is anyone not replying to me ???
[03:42] <noelferreira> betwen two ubuntu systems
[03:42] <jrib> Jinesh: what is your question?
[03:42] <Jinesh> i want to get very familiar with ubuntu as much as i am with windows
[03:42] <Jowi> noelferreira, not really. i don't use gnome. you should be able to right click on a folder/file in nautilus and select share.
[03:42] <Jinesh> can anyone suggest me what shoudl i do or begin with
[03:42] <erUSUL> tengil: i do think so... i will backup important files just in case... check if the cables are well connected etc (if you messed recently with them)
[03:43] <noelferreira> thansl
[03:43] <jrib> Jinesh: start by reading the docs at help.ubuntu.com, then move on to what the bot is about to send you
[03:43] <jrib> !cli > Jinesh (see the private message from ubotu)
[03:43] <jrib> Jinesh: depending on how much you want to know, be sure to check out the rute book linked at the bottom of the cli wiki page, the docs at tldp.org, and debian manuals...
[03:44] <DJ-_-> umm...where is network folder option in Xfce Interface?
[03:44] <Zenerek> Jinesh: try searching for ubuntu guide, it's a site that has info on various topics, there are also two books out there (have em both)
[03:46] <sql_hesw> Hey All, Is there any light weight browser for ubuntu ( i feel firefox is high on resources)
[03:46] <Tom47> jinish have you installed ubuntu?
[03:46] <Jinesh> yes i have
[03:46] <Frederick> wich is the command in apt to purge dead packages?
[03:46] <Frederick> I got no man :/
[03:46] <mc44> !info epiphany | sql_hesw
[03:46] <ubotu> sql_hesw: epiphany: clone of Boulder Dash game. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.1-4 (feisty), package size 63 kB, installed size 236 kB
[03:47] <skulrid> how do I edit a text file on etc/... ?
[03:47] <KomiaPoika> is openoffice broken on kubuntu 7.04??
[03:47] <mc44> eep
[03:47] <lalo> wrong one :-P
[03:47] <klav> !enlightenment
[03:47] <ubotu> Enlightenment (or "E") is a window manager for X, providing a useful, and good looking graphical shell in which to work. E17 is the current development version.
[03:47] <chaoslynx> how can i change the default version of automake?
[03:47] <lalo> Frederick: autoremove?
[03:47] <Tom47> Jinesh: then the very best place to start is exploring Help & Support / About Gnome / About Ubuntu right up there under System
[03:48] <neil_feisty> skulrid, you can use vi or nano i prefer nano
[03:48] <Zenerek> sql_hesw well they say opera ( a must have for me) has a smaller resource footprints than firefox....hard to believe with all it does....
[03:48] <ubuntu-rocks> skulrid - nano /etc/filename (provided you have nano and have permission to modify that file)
[03:48] <DJ-_-> how do i find a windows shared folder in Xubuntu

[03:48] <wols_> DJ-_-: smbclient -L <ip of windows box>
[03:48] <KomiaPoika> DJ-_-: install samba and surf to smb://addressofshared
[03:48] <mrsn0> both browsers are good, but opera uses less resources for doing similar amount of workloads ive found
[03:49] <mrsn0> maybe they allocated ram differently, i dont know
[03:49] <DJ-_-> wol_ any GUI method?
[03:49] <DJ-_-> wols_*
[03:49] <mc44> user9: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/internet/C/connect-to-internet.html#wireless-ndiswrapper
[03:49] <lalo> opera is non-free, so I'd certainly not recommend it
[03:49] <DJ-_-> KamiaPoika: thanks but I prefer a GUI ths time
[03:50] <wols_> DJ-_-: apt-cache search samba browser
[03:50] <hellogoodbye> anyone ever had videos refuse to play in any app in feisty?
[03:50] <sql_hesw> lalo: i run 64 bit ubuntu is there any way to get the flash working?
[03:50] <DJ-_-> wols_ thanks
[03:50] <wols_> KomiaPoika: xubunut doesn't have filemanager as gnome and kde do
[03:50] <mc44> user9: are you having a specific problem with it?
[03:50] <wols_> !flash | sql_hesw
[03:50] <ubotu> sql_hesw: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[03:50] <wols_> sql_hesw: there are ways. mostly complicated ones
[03:50] <sql_hesw> what are back ports, i run fiesty
[03:51] <_ADaRKnInJA> Hello ALL wizards of INSTALL UBUNTU - I need a HELP
[03:51] <mc44> _ADaRKnInJA: just ask your question :)
[03:51] <lalo> wols: no file manager?  What is Thunar then?
[03:51] <sql_hesw> wols_: i got 32 bit opera with flash, but i find the videos choppy
[03:51] <sql_hesw> frame by frame
[03:51] <wols_> lalo: no filemanager that understands smb://
[03:51] <lalo> ah ok!  :-)
[03:51] <lalo> xffm used to :-( they're yet to add that to Thunar
[03:51] <Jinesh> Thank you every one for all the help
[03:52] <DJ-_-> wols_ is there another way? like in gnome i had  network browser or something
[03:52] <Jinesh> i ll come back whenever i ll need more help
[03:52] <hellogoodbye> best ubuntu bittorrent client?
[03:52] <saxin> hellogoodbye: Deluge maybe
[03:52] <lalo> "best" is a matter of taste
[03:52] <hellogoodbye> ok thanks, il check it out
[03:52] <sql_hesw> utorrent on Wine is the BEST
[03:53] <lalo> I prefer rtorrent, but it's not GUI, it's curses
[03:53] <DJ-_-> wols_: i have gnome on the hard but i used xfce....so would there be a network browser already on the system? if so how can i find it
[03:53] <chaoslynx> clehmann: Is there no easier way? Somehow "automake" invokes automake version 1.1 while i would like it to be at least 1.9
[03:53] <lalo> then maybe azureus
[03:53] <wols_> DJ-_-: can't you read?
[03:53] <sql_hesw> lalo: can i run rtorrent on command line?
[03:53] <_ADaRKnInJA> ok, mc44 : How to install UBUNTU ( 3 modes : Desktop, AlternateCD, Server ) by none ISO CD copy, using VMWARE ?
[03:53] <visual> i use bittorent-curses...
[03:53] <DJ-_-> wols_ maybe I am lagging after all
[03:53] <sql_hesw> and does it support DHT and all those stuff?
[03:53] <lalo> sql_hesw: yes
[03:53] <lalo> sql_hesw: no DHT
[03:53] <Zenerek> mrsn0 yeah i've been using it since v7, with all it does it's hard to belive you and me are one of the few 4 percent that use it, anyway i really loved the titanium 7 skin,used it in v8 too, wish someone would make it for v9
[03:53] <wols_> DJ-_-: I doubt it's your inet connection that lags
[03:54] <sql_hesw> lalo: then wouldnt that restrict the speed?
[03:54] <DJ-_-> wols_: well thanks for your help
[03:54] <lalo> hmm, no
[03:54] <hellogoodbye> As of Feisty, Deluge is in Ubuntu's universe repository. DO NOT INSTALL THIS VERSION - any idea why that is anyone?
[03:54] <mrsn0> Zenerek indeed, while its indeed non-free at least there are .debs released and i dont mind manually updating it
[03:54] <lalo> DHT has little to do with speed, it has to do with badly-seeded torrents
[03:54] <mc44> _ADaRKnInJA: eh? you want to install ubuntu in VMware but not using a cd? (no need to use so many capitals)
[03:54] <sql_hesw> ok, I use utorrent with wine, But i find it using a lot of memory and CPU
[03:54] <mrsn0> another choice is epiphany browser which is based on ff/mozilla but much more lightweight
[03:54] <lalo> for my day-to-day usage, not having DHT is a feature
[03:54] <michaelpo> how do i turn off or make linux use more memory instead of swap? i have 1gb memory, but it goes to 60%, and linux start using swap... do i turn off the swap?
[03:54] <chaoslynx> clehmann:ok thx i figured it out =)
[03:55] <DJ-_-> wols_: u better add this to helping other people out: in xfce in computer you click go--network which is much easier and thx for da hel;p

[03:57] <Tom47> xukun nautilus works just fine
[03:57] <Zenerek> mrsn0: it's one of the things that's made my walk into linux easier having my browser here, and for firewall firestarter, utorrent with wine for torrents, heck i even got winrar working with wine
[03:57] <saxin> jakub_: clear /tmp mmaybe :)
[03:57] <wols_> jakub_: du /var. how mcuh is it?
[03:57] <mrsn0> brr welll i dont go quite that far Zenerek :-) i only use wine for poker client
[03:57] <jakub_> saxin how do I do that, what is command for deleting?
[03:57] <mrsn0> everything else is native
[03:57] <wols_> saxin: bad advice
[03:57] <chaoslynx> cyberpunk69: I think it is possible if you use thunderbird or any other email program
[03:58] <saxin> wols_: why?
[03:58] <jakub_> wols_a long lonmg list
[03:58] <osfameron> I thought hotmail was its own specific protocol that only Outlook Express knew how to talk to?
[03:58] <cyberpunk69> there seems to not be any pop3 support
[03:58] <mrsn0> cyberpunk69 thunderbird + the hotmail / webmail extension works quite fine for hotmail/yahoo accounts

[04:04] <jakub_> craigbass1976 yes it is
[04:04] <jakub_> craigbass1976 it's got neat artwork
[04:04] <saxin> jakub_: I'm sorry. wols_ just pointed out it was not a good idea to clear it.
[04:04] <JuJuBee> I can't seem to get vmserver installed on feisty.  Cant get past the building vmmon error.  Even using the any-any patch.  Any ideas?
[04:05] <jakub_> saxin but how can I delete files? I might have there something saved
[04:05] <jakub_> saxin I know ls, mv, cp, but how do i delete?
[04:05] <mc44> jakub_: rm
[04:05] <jakub_> aha!
[04:05] <saxin> jakub_: rm, look at: man rm for more information.
[04:06] <wols_> jakub_: you don't
[04:06] <craigbass1976> jakub_, I've not use FC since 5.    Is that an acronym?
[04:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rm -rf - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:09] <DJ-_-> !hosts
[04:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hosts - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:09] <jakub_> craigbass1976 just alright
[04:09] <DJ-_-> does anyone know whether a large hosts file would slow ubuntu down?
[04:09] <craigbass1976> jakub_, it would wipe your root filesystem
[04:10] <jakub_> craigbass1976 i found a whole movie on my root, that might help to save some space
[04:10] <craigbass1976> DJ-_-, do you suspect that your's is?  Try backing up your host file and pearing down the original and see what happens
[04:10] <DJ-_-> craigbass1976: just doubted it as it happens in windows unless you disable the dns client,...And i will try that
[04:11] <_StefanS_> anyone know how to build the kernel modules for alsa?
[04:11] <Tom47> DJ-_-: are you referrinf to /etc/hosts? and if so what is making it large?
[04:11] <craigbass1976> jakub_, right, but you would just rm movie.file
[04:11] <DJ-_-> Tom47: yeah, I added some ad sites and its around 550+kb rite now
[04:12] <Zenerek> ok i gotta go
[04:12] <_ADaRKnInJA> Who here is WIZARD of UBUNTU Install ? Please HELP
[04:12] <Tom47> DJ-_-: try craigbass1976's suggestion i reckon
[04:12] <DJ-_-> _ADaRKninJA: list your problem if anyone knows the solution they will help
[04:12] <craigbass1976> _ADaRKnInJA, what's up?
[04:12] <DJ-_-> Tom47: ok

[04:13] <lasking> i will into the dark  help me!
[04:13] <_ADaRKnInJA> Dear DJ - I want to Instal the 3 types of UBUNTU : Desktop, AlternateCD, and Server, under XPsp2, without
[04:13] <_ADaRKnInJA> to use a boot cd drive, by using the software : VMware. Is it possible ? and how ?
 Do you know a LINK-SITE of instructions about this ?
 Because I burned 2 DVD disks, but the DOS asks me to PUT a disk * A:\ *, but I dont use diskette
[04:14] <_ADaRKnInJA> A , for any, than it is impossible to I Install
[04:14] <lasking> anybody could help me?
[04:14] <wols_> adam: just mount the ISOs
[04:14] <mc44> _ADaRKnInJA: you can download images for vmware from here http://isv-image.ubuntu.com/vmware/
[04:14] <Tom47> !ask | lasking
[04:14] <ubotu> lasking: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:14] <DJ-_-> -ADaRKninJA: well do what mc44_ suggests
[04:14] <Dr_willis> _ADaRKnInJA,  theres no point in installing from the desktop and the alternatecd. They install the same thing.
[04:15] <Jinesh> ADaRKninJA: just create a linux vm while doing so select ubuntu
[04:15] <lasking> please install the build and header files for your current linux kernel   i can't install vbox gusetaddtion in my fc guest
[04:15] <Jinesh> and then insert ubuntu CD and start your linux vm
[04:15] <DJ-_-> _ADaRKninJA: or you can try getting pre-configured ones from the vmware site
[04:15] <Jinesh> click on install icon on desktop
[04:15] <Tom47> lasking sudo apt-get install build-essentials
[04:15] <Jinesh> exit
[04:15] <Jinesh> quit
[04:16] <DJ-_-> lol
[04:16] <gilster> hell all
[04:16] <lasking> install build-essentials in fc?
[04:16] <wols_> Tom47: that won't install kernel headers afaik
[04:16] <craigbass1976> noelferreira, something like scp local.file.txt <IP_ADDRESS>:/home/noel/  would copy the local.file.txt from your current box to the one with the ip.
[04:16] <wols_> lasking: in ubuntu
[04:16] <craigbass1976> Oh, he quit
[04:16] <wols_> lasking: and fc questions are OT in here
[04:16] <mc44> lasking: we don't know about fedora here :)
[04:17] <craigbass1976> No wonder tab name completion didn't work.
[04:17] <lasking> my ubuntu had it   i install fc in vbox
[04:17] <wols_> lasking: we don't care. you ask a fc question which is OT here
[04:17] <Plantain> How much effort is it to install Ubuntu to an external HD on a PPC iBook?
[04:17] <wols_> lasking: got to #fedora
[04:17] <gilster> i am having a problem with the locked screen password. When feisty goes on suspend and then goes out i get the machine locked box but it wont let me type in anything.  Keyboard is non-responsive

[04:21] <gilster> so no one can help me with this issue?

[04:21] <Frogzoo> _ADaRKnInJA: vmware images aren't isos, they're vms that run under vmware
[04:21] <tyler_d> looking for an app to convert png to svg?
[04:22] <MarkusT> I'm stuck with supporting question #7536 (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/7536). I'm totally unaware what might be the problem of this user. He's getting "unauthenticated" messages from update-manager in feisty. He has all needed gpg keys, his install history seems "right", the only problem is that update-manager left the edgy repositories in sources.list, but that should not be the problem since all updates installed are fetched fr
[04:22] <Frederick> folks how ca nI find my jdk path?
[04:22] <craigbass1976> Frederick, which java maybe
[04:23] <_ADaRKnInJA> DJ and mc44 .... Please.... answer
[04:23] <craigbass1976> Frederick, is this Sun's java, or one from a linux repo?
[04:23] <Frogzoo> Frederick: 'which java'
[04:23] <Frederick> craigbass1976: suns
[04:24] <mc44> _ADaRKnInJA: they are virtual machines made for vmware instead of being CD images
[04:24] <craigbass1976> Frederick,  Ok.  How did you install it?
[04:24] <Frogzoo> Frederick: actually, echo $CLASSPATH
[04:24] <Frogzoo> Frederick: also, man java
[04:24] <Frederick> Frogzoo: it is empty
[04:24] <Frederick> craigbass1976: I dont remmember
[04:24] <gnomefreak> grayscale: to find it try locate java
[04:24] <gnomefreak> Frederick: ^^^
[04:24] <gnomefreak> not grayscale
[04:24] <_ADaRKnInJA> Wowwwww, many thanks, mc44 - I ll try these ZIPS
[04:25] <gnomefreak> Frederick: patch should be something like /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-<IP_ADDRESS>/jre/lib/i386/
[04:26] <mc44> _ADaRKnInJA: you can always ask for help in #ubuntu-br if you don't understand what people in here are saying :)
[04:27] <_ADaRKnInJA> Another QUESTION: may I instal all the 3 modes - zips- Desktop, Alternate , abd Server, IN a SAME partion of my HD ?
[04:27] <persia> Is there an IRC channel for the Ubuntu Debian Collaboration Team?
[04:27] <Frederick> gnomefreak:  Ifound it thanks a lor
[04:28] <Frederick> lot
[04:31] <_ADaRKnInJA> mc44, please answer that last question on the private...
[04:31] <mc44> _ADaRKnInJA: hmm? you can't send private messages unless you are registered
[04:32] <_ADaRKnInJA> ahhh, ok, so sorry...
[04:32] <DJ-_-> /ns info mc44 all
[04:32] <Plantain> Has it become any easier in recent versions of Ubuntu to install on an external FireWire harddrive of a Mac (PPC) ?
[04:32] <_ADaRKnInJA> Another QUESTION: may I instal all the 3 modes - zips- Desktop, Alternate , and SERVER 704
 Server, IN a SAME partition of my HD ?
[04:33] <DJ-_-> :P
[04:33] <Plantain> I think the old way was to dig around with yaboot.conf, and compiling a modified kernel from the installer DVD :S
[04:33] <craigbass1976> I'm in the middle of a text install.  I have this feeling that all will not be well.  The visible screen is a lot smaller than the actual screen.
[04:33] <mc44> _ADaRKnInJA: the desktop and the alternate installs are the same, it just uses a different installer
[04:33] <craigbass1976> But I guess as long as I can get it on there, at least I can mess with xorg.conf
[04:33] <mc44> _ADaRKnInJA: and you can have as many vmware images on one partition as you want
[04:34] <_ADaRKnInJA> ahhh, ok, - and about ALSO the SERVER 704 ???
[04:35] <xukun> is there other good burning software except nautilus?
[04:35] <bullgard4> What is meant with 'tty11' in my /dev/tty11?
[04:35] <Frogzoo> xukun: k3b
[04:35] <mc44> !burning | xukun
[04:35] <ubotu> xukun: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus cd burner (Gnome), gtoaster, xcdroast, cdrecord (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[04:36] <xukun> Frogzoo, anything else because that will install a lot of kde things
[04:36] <tyler_d> lightscribe?
[04:36] <xukun> mc44, yes that looks more like it, thanks
[04:37] <_ADaRKnInJA> please answer... mc44
[04:37] <cached> ok
[04:37] <cached> can someone help me with my printer now?
[04:38] <cached> it's a local laserjet priner
[04:38] <xukun> can I make gnomebaker  the default burning software and change from nautilus?
[04:38] <mc44> _ADaRKnInJA: I don't understand your question

I have been trying to add the lynksis wmp54g card to my system with absolutely no success.  I went to synaptic and added ndiswrapper and ndisgtk but it wil not work.  What am I doing wrong please!!!!
[04:39] <_ADaRKnInJA> mc44, if I am able to install the DESKTOP and SERVER 704, in the same partition HD ?
[04:39] <craigbass1976> cached, I guess the tutorial was no good?
[04:40] <mc44> _ADaRKnInJA: you can if you are using a vmware image, but not if you are installing them properly
[04:40] <ManaPirat> user9 calme down :) ...
[04:40] <mc44> user9: well calm down first :) What "does not work"?
[04:40] <Ahadiel> _ADaRKnInJA: Basically, 7.04 Server Edition doesn't have the package ubuntu-desktop
[04:40] <craigbass1976> user9, don't feel bad.  Linux wireless is still dicey at best with some cards
[04:40] <Ahadiel> or gnome-desktop, or something like that
[04:40] <KrvheD> Hello! everybody!
[04:40] <ManaPirat> ndswrapper, hum i got it working a year ago but windows drivers are .. well .. windows drivers
[04:40] <Ahadiel> _ADaRKnInJA: They are basically the same, except one is not running X
[04:41] <new-ubuntu-user> how does one find tty number of a terminal window.
[04:41] <new-ubuntu-user> ?
[04:41] <_ADaRKnInJA> OK, thkx, mc44
[04:41] <craigbass1976> the who command I think
[04:41] <ManaPirat> Linux wireless cann be verry good if you have the right hardware. Maybe google or post on ubuntu forums where more people can find your specific driver Problem
[04:41] <craigbass1976> new-ubuntu-user, the who command I think
[04:41] <KrvheD> hey! where are you from?
[04:41] <cached> craigbass1976: yep
[04:42] <cached> craigbass1976: i send a print command, it appears in the queue as printing, but nothing comes out
[04:42] <ManaPirat> hi KrvheD
[04:42] <cached> craigbass1976: then it disappears from the queue
[04:42] <KrvheD> =D!
I try to do research on my own because I know no one helps those who do not help themselves but I have gone through every page I could and I do not understand why this pc will not recognize my card.  I have been aT IT for 4 hours
[04:42] <craigbass1976> cached, what's the printer?
[04:42] <KrvheD> i'm very happy with my ubuntu 7.04 and beryl
[04:42] <mc44> user9: ok :) But what part of the process is going wrong?
[04:42] <KrvheD> =D!
[04:42] <cached> HP LaserJet 1020
[04:43] <cached> I got an HP Inkjet working before, and I think I followed the same procedure
[04:43] <ManaPirat> user9: there is a channel #ndiswrapper
[04:43] <cached> oh
[04:43] <cached> i might have got it working
[04:43] <ManaPirat> i am sure you have to be verry patient there
[04:43] <_ADaRKnInJA> mc44 - LAST LAST question:  Are KUBUNTU and/or UBUNTU 704 : the same way easier to INSTAL - and or OPERATE ? What are main differences : KUBUNTU  x UBUNTU ?
[04:43] <ManaPirat> or write to thie rmailinglist. maybe somebody will tell you how to debug your driver issue
[04:43] <KrvheD> =P!!
[04:44] <KrvheD> Kubuntu is for server
[04:44] <mc44> _ADaRKnInJA: thats a very big question :)
[04:44] <Ahadiel> _ADaRKnInJA: Only one Difference.
[04:44] <cached> craigbass1976: I had to run cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1020.dl > /dev/usblp0
[04:44] <gnomefreak> _ADaRKnInJA: kde and gnome are the differences they are pretty much the same to install
[04:44] <Ahadiel> One runs KDE, One runs Gnome
[04:44] <cached> craigbass1976: it works now :) thanks
[04:44] <craigbass1976> cached, what the... I'd have never thought of that
[04:44] <_ADaRKnInJA> mc33 : I am full inniciant of LINUX install
[04:44] <gnomefreak> _ADaRKnInJA: once you have one just install the other sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop or ubuntu-desktop
 now when I go to system/administration/windows wireless drivers it comes up and then goes away.  I have been trying to get this lynksys wireless card recognized forever.  According to the pages I read it is suppose to be compatible with ubuntu
[04:45] <gnomefreak> _ADaRKnInJA: than you can choose the on eyou want to use from the login screen
[04:45] <Ahadiel> gnomefreak: Seriously? You can have KDE and Gnome install on the same distro?
[04:45] <gnomefreak> yes
[04:46] <gnomefreak> Ahadiel: also edubuntu xubuntu
[04:46] <_ADaRKnInJA> mc44 : this will be my first INSTALL of a LINUX
[04:46] <mc44> user9: ok, can you do "ndiswrapper -l" in a terminal. What does it say?
[04:46] <craigbass1976> cached, there's a little tutorial on linuxprinting.org what that very command
[04:46] <Ahadiel> gnomefreak: So if I'm already running ubuntu-desktop, I can just sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop?
[04:46] <gnomefreak> Ahadiel: yes
[04:46] <Ahadiel> gnomefreak: Win. =D
[04:46] <gnomefreak> !kubuntu-desktop | Ahadiel
[04:46] <ubotu> Ahadiel: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.
[04:47] <gnomefreak> that wasnt what it used to be
[04:47] <user9> bcmwl5 : driver installed
[04:47] <user9> netg54s : invalid driver!

[04:48] <mc44> user9: ok if it doesn't say "device present" it means you haven't got the right driver installed
[04:48] <craigbass1976> cached, I saw something (and a fix) about having to restart the printer after each job.
[04:48] <cached> craigbass1976: i tried that before, it's just that on my computer it was /dev/usblp0 instead of /dev/usb/lp0

[04:57] <UbunTITTIES> ben & jerry's so cold, i thought you didn't have to do it .
[04:57] <UbunTITTIES> sara, im a spanish woman my breasts were now trying to insert itself into .
[04:57] <UbunTITTIES> the shock : sue had prepared everything in detail .
[04:58] <jajas> Ahadiel: OK
[04:58] <UbunTITTIES> ok, i feel her first fish of the men would call a buddy to go directly home with mom gone
[04:58] <magicrobotmonkey> Tom47: yea too bad
[04:59] <ijk> Is this a bug? I'm installing ubuntu7 but the partitioner won't let me make larger partitions than 39144MB. Any hints?
[04:59] <PriceChild> UbunTITTIES, not in here thankyou.
[04:59] <UbunTITTIES> a bad girl, chelsea, it was quickly becoming sticky from the back wall .
[04:59] <UbunTITTIES> much larger, it's what my 18 ijk sister is making me come ...
[04:59] <PriceChild> ijk, is that fat32?
[04:59] <UbunTITTIES> anyone here having gcc & nasm, and dawn had gone back to the door .
[04:59] <craigbass1976> Oh, I just got the name UbunTITTIES
[04:59] <UbunTITTIES> your name ?
[04:59] <ijk> PriceChild: no ext3
[04:59] <user9> mc44 what was the command agin?
[04:59] <Watchman_> hey guys, whats the diffference between, Linux Low Latency and Linux Generic on the grub screen?
[04:59] <mc44> user9: lspci -vv
[04:59] <craigbass1976> knucklehead...
[04:59] <PriceChild> ijk, not a clue...
[04:59] <ijk> =/
[04:59] <PriceChild> Watchman_, to have lowlatency you must have installed it manually ;)
[05:00] <_ADaRKnInJA> Does anybody say - what are the best MANUALS for START LINUX 1st time ?  2 options only I know : http://br.bozolinux.org/guia/ - and : http://focalinux.cipsga.org.br/
[05:00] <Watchman_> and what low latency does?
[05:00] <user9> I am sorry. Can I paste all that here?
[05:00] <PriceChild> Watchman_, people like extreme audio video encoders use it

[05:02] <keith> !botsnack
[05:02] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[05:02] <Watchman_> i installed Ubuntu studio and the low latency stuff is prompted to me on the grub...maybe the codec stuff and being a multimedia distro...explains all
[05:02] <keith> ubuntu studio? designed for AV work?
[05:02] <picochu> Watchman_: that's what ubuuntu studio is for
[05:03] <mc44> user9: don't paste in here please
[05:03] <Watchman_> right PriceChild?
[05:03] <Fuzz> thats good specs
[05:03] <PriceChild> Watchman_, yeah :)
[05:03] <Frogzoo> Watchman_: I'm thinking low latency is for real time/fast interrupt handling - though would like to know for sure
[05:03] <user9> where do I paste it
[05:03] <PriceChild> user9, please read the pm from ubotu
[05:03] <Lumiere> does anyone know a good bluetooth in ubuntu howto?
[05:03] <mc44> user9: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[05:03] <Watchman_> so if i want a "full" experience i should choose lowlatency
[05:03] <Frogzoo> !bluetooth
[05:03] <PriceChild> !bluetooth > Lumiere (see pm from ubotu)
[05:03] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[05:03] <Lumiere> PriceChild: thanks
[05:03] <picochu> anyway low latency patches are also used for systems with real-time requirements
[05:04] <stm502> !bluetooth
[05:04] <Fuzz> uhm can someone help me share a printer with ubuntu feisty 7.04 and winxp?
[05:04] <Buttonboy> Can anyone help me with Samba?
[05:04] <Watchman_> so picochu...being a designer, i should make the low latency as the default choice
[05:04] <picochu> fuzz is the printer on a windows or unbutu machine?
[05:04] <Fuzz> on ubuntu
[05:04] <picochu> Watchman_: designer is vague... exactly what do you use it for?
[05:05] <Frogzoo> Watchman_: for desktop use, no
[05:05] <user9> mc44 ok done
[05:05] <matthew1429> !fstab
[05:05] <mc44> user9: ok, I need the link :)
[05:05] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[05:05] <Watchman_> graphics, web, sometimes sound, sometimes video
[05:05] <tyler_d> could anyone recommend fax software?
[05:05] <Fuzz> no faxing is for sissies
[05:05] <user9> mc44 http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24592/
[05:05] <Fuzz> XD
[05:05] <Buttonboy> !samba
[05:05] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[05:06] <user9> mc44 thank you
[05:06] <tyler_d> Fuzz: thats excellent.... thanks for comming out
[05:06] <picochu> watchman low latency is not really needed for your then. prolly pre-emtive multitasking would be better
[05:06] <Frogzoo> tyler_d: apt-cache search fax
[05:06] <mc44> user9: ok can you also paste lspci -n
[05:06] <tyler_d> Frogzoo: searched... tried a few.... looking for one that specifically handles mass faxing
[05:06] <Watchman_> so Frogzoo, whats the idea? If not desktop use..so what for? Desktop use = mere mortal use (email, word processor, etc)?
[05:07] <tyler_d> Frogzoo: others came up with errors...
[05:07] <Watchman_> so picochu, the right choice in my case is the GENERIC option?
[05:07] <neverblue> how can I change my theme to the default "human" theme, via command line?
[05:07] <line72> class, bbl
[05:08] <Frogzoo> tyler_d: you should consider hylafax - it's quite mature
[05:08] <picochu> Watchman_: yeap... low latency wont matter to you
[05:08] <DJ-_-> question: when i try to copy files from a xp pc's shared folder and try to paste in my home folder it says nothing to paste from clipboard
[05:08] <tyler_d> Frogzoo: ty I will give that a shot
[05:08] <GlacierBill> Has anyone had problems with 7.04, for some reason I can not access my users, network connections, time or many other administrator apps that use gksu
[05:08] <samuel> sup all
[05:08] <Watchman_> ok thanx folks
[05:08] <samuel> where can i put something to run once on boot?
[05:08] <Frogzoo> samuel: /etc/rc.local
[05:08] <neverblue> GlacierBill, I am also having problems, but not exactly the same as you

I appologize I am totally new to all of this.  I am usually a windows guy but am trying to migrate.  I will look more in depth on the proitocols here.  Sorry. :(
[05:12] <freakboysystem> thankyou
[05:12] <GlacierBill> cli?? Just the standard packages for now
[05:12] <tyler_d> Frogzoo: doesn't support an internal modem :(
[05:12] <DK_II> volumes_visible
[05:12] <PriceChild> user9, no problem. :)
[05:13] <neverblue> GlacierBill, cli is short for command line
[05:13] <unbuntuish> anyone know why title bar disappears after enabling desktop effects?
[05:13] <Hultiz> how do i put timestamps on messages in xchat?
[05:13] <neverblue> are you running those from the command line...
[05:13] <cotik> hey!!
[05:13] <SirBob1701> anyone know how to reset the e17 theme in the terminal?
[05:13] <SirBob1701> i forgot the dang command
[05:13] <neverblue> Hultiz, there is a timestamp under Settings--> Preference
[05:13] <neverblue> how can I change my theme to the default "human" theme, via command line?
[05:14] <GlacierBill> No, not at this time, I am used to Fedora
[05:14] <neverblue> GlacierBill, cli will give you alot more results if your trying to debug
[05:14] <cotik> please tell me how i can open an application from a terminal in the "background" meaning that when i close the terminal the application still works
[05:14] <neverblue> ex. will tell you why your app isnt working
[05:14] <neverblue> cotik, command &
[05:14] <PriceChild> unbuntuish, probably because your card won't do the effects or your system isn't set up correctly. /join #ubuntu-effects
[05:14] <GlacierBill> I know the commands are the same, but I am just a little frustrated for now, i went out to demo Ubuntu to a school and all went up in smoke, Argh
[05:14] <mrsn0> cotik apt-get install screen , man screen
[05:14] <samuel> cotik: use & at the end
[05:14] <user9> mc44 Are you still there I hope :)
[05:14] <neverblue> GlacierBill, :/
[05:15] <mrsn0> very useful little application, or you can use & at the end as well
[05:15] <Frogzoo> tyler_d: not really a fax issue - it's a driver/winmodem issue
[05:15] <samuel> cotik: then exit the term
[05:15] <ALMimoni> hi, azureus close himself after opening, how can I fix it?
[05:15] <Hultiz> neverblue, i cant find it :/ i only find where to enable them in logs
[05:15] <Frogzoo> !winmodem > tyler_d
[05:15] <pike_> cotik: use the nohup command like nohup gedit &
[05:15] <samuel> cotik: using the exit command
[05:15] <neverblue> Hultiz, look harder, I cannot "look" for you
[05:15] <neverblue> oh wait
[05:15] <mc44> user9: yes, your card is a ralink RT61, i don't think you need to use ndiswrapper
[05:15] <neverblue> time stamp?
[05:15] <cotik> ive tried it
[05:15] <cotik> it doesnt work
[05:15] <PriceChild> mc44, they "should" work fine those cards ;)
[05:15] <neverblue> Interface-> Text box
[05:15] <mc44> PriceChild: hmm, what should?
[05:16] <user9> mc44 I tried it without anything before but it never picked up my network?
[05:16] <GlacierBill> I told them there wasn probably an error in the Install on my laptop and got another demo secheduled for next week
[05:16] <PriceChild> mc44, rt61 should be fine otb
[05:16] <neverblue> GlacierBill, ? your losing me
[05:16] <mc44> PriceChild: what interface should it come up with ra0?
[05:16] <PriceChild> mc44, yeah, or something like rausb0 if its usb
[05:16] <Frogzoo> cotik: 'nohup appn' works, but I use deskbar to launch apps
[05:16] <Hultiz> neverblue, i looked through it several times and it was right in front of my nose ;P ty
[05:16] <cotik> command & doesnt seem to be wroking
[05:17] <cotik> how do i use it?
[05:17] <neverblue> Hultiz, np :)
[05:17] <mc44> user9: can you pastebin "ifconfig" please

[05:19] <Buttonboy> for azurous
[05:19] <GlacierBill> I installed 7.04 on my Gateway laptop, all worked good, I went to the school for a demp to get them to install Ubuntu on there computers for the students and was showing them how to add users, and that section failed, the screen came up but I could not add users, it just locked up

[05:20] <user9> mc44 I do not know why I keep getting kicked.
[05:20] <Buttonboy> thats just how i am
[05:20] <neverblue> GlacierBill, not sure why you added in that you installed it on your laptop :)
[05:20] <neverblue> how can I change my theme to the default "human" theme, via command line?
[05:20] <Frogzoo> GlacierBill: trying to install linux on unknown hardware won't always work, as you've discovered
[05:21] <user9> I am trying to comply.  !pastebin | user9
[05:21] <rambo3> was laptop  in hibernation  prior to that?
[05:21] <Tom47> GlacierBill was this an unmodified ubuntu iso you were using?
[05:21] <GlacierBill> I told tehm I would be back this next week and show them the system again, at home I noticed that several functions in X failed, and they all used gksu.
[05:21] <user9> mc44 Still There? :)
[05:21] <neverblue> reinstall?
[05:22] <RabidWeezle> what's the xorg.cfg keyboard code for US English standard 101 keyboard?
[05:22] <GlacierBill> Yes, Unmodified, and the system did work properly for several test here before I left for the school
[05:22] <rambo3> i've had gksudo problem on debian testing but not on ubuntu stable
[05:23] <RabidWeezle> as in, I need to find out what X calls the US English keyboard
[05:23] <neverblue> GlacierBill, why not just use a Live CD?
[05:23] <Blueeye> who knows where is the python interpreter ?
[05:23] <GlacierBill> I did try the gksudo caoand also, but same thing
[05:23] <user9> mc44 are you still there or did you give up on me?
[05:23] <mc44> user9: yep. I haven't had much experince setting up ralink cards, so I suggest you try this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=419709
[05:23] <RabidWeezle> is anyone here using an american english keyboard?
[05:24] <hilltop> Blueeye, python           at a consol prompt
[05:24] <neverblue> how can I change my theme to the default "human" theme, via command line? OR how can I remove the "theme" handler, so it will default back to my "human" theme?
[05:24] <Tom47> RabidWeezle: yes
[05:24] <GlacierBill> They will be installing it on there school computers for students, CD's may disapier or get warnout
[05:24] <hilltop> RabidWeezle: yes
[05:24] <Blueeye> hilltop, but in the file system ?
[05:24] <user9> mc44 I also purchased a buffalo card.  Should I try that?  I tried both but am not sure in this os how to determine if the card is recognized?
[05:25] <Blueeye> i need to configure it for the easyeclipse for python id
[05:25] <RabidWeezle> Tom47 can you please goto your /etc/X11/xorg.cfg and read me your:  Option "XkbLayout" "?" line? or anyone, for a us american 101 keyboard
[05:25] <mc44> user9: the buffalo card is usb or pci?
[05:25] <hilltop> which python                 /usr/bin/python
[05:25] <user9> pci
[05:25] <mc44> user9: then its probably easier to try setting up this card first, as you would need to install the card to find out which chipset it is using
[05:26] <ling> Anyone know how to access the migration-assistant from within ubuntu? I can't seem to find it. I'd like to import user settings, and perhaps back up my own..
[05:26] <hilltop> Blueeye, python          use which command
[05:26] <unbuntuish> anyone else have flush fails on azureus, downloading to another hdd (ntfs) ?
[05:26] <Tom47> RabidWeezle: 	Option	    "XkbLayout" "us"

[05:27] <craigbass1976> I got a phone call and wasn't watching during the text install.  WHat happened that I'm now sitting at the same blank screen I saw when booting up to the regular live cd?  It's almost blank with two square dots.  Did the computer reboot?
[05:27] <RabidWeezle> thank you much Tom47
[05:27] <Blueeye> hilltop - thanks it's the correct path!
[05:27] <RabidWeezle> :)
[05:27] <Tom47> RabidWeezle: thats a pc105
[05:27] <hilltop> Blueeye, :)
[05:27] <neverblue> what "themes" called and where are they stored?
[05:27] <craigbass1976> Hard drive is spinning so I don't dare shut it down in case it wasn't done installing
[05:28] <user9> mc44 so I should shutdown and install the bufalo card and then what?
[05:28] <RabidWeezle> pc 105, roger that

[05:43] <neverblue> how can I  change to the default "human" theme via cli?
[05:44] <Stream_Space> Can somone tell me that?
[05:44] <ubuntu-rocks> 120 Gigs, i'm not sure the drive will work, i couldn't get the drive to be recognized during my install, hence the smaller drive
[05:44] <rrittenhouse> In Openoffice is there a good Ariel font equivalent?
[05:45] <_ben_> Stream_Space : sudo nautilus ?
[05:45] <erUSUL> ubuntu-rocks: if its a web server and data is in /var/www/ you should move /var to its own partition, shouldn't you?
[05:45] <_ben_> rrittenhouse : there should be the original Arial font I think
[05:45] <rambo3> Stream_Space,  open termianl and type : gksudo gksudo &
[05:45] <Stream_Space> _ben_ when i press alt and F2

[05:45] <ubuntu-rocks> how do i move the var to its own partition?
[05:45] <neverblue> !wine | yaman
[05:45] <ubotu> yaman: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[05:46] <brum> ubuntu-rocks: erUSUL said /var/www if its webserv or /home if home dirs are heavy
[05:46] <_ben_> Stream_Space : I don't understand what you want to do
[05:46] <DJ-_-> umm got a question: any link i click here opens on terminal and firefox is default browser what do i do to make it open in firefox
[05:47] <ubuntu-rocks> no users on this server really, how can i make the logs save to the additional drive?

[05:47] <_ben_> yaman : try with mono
[05:48] <neverblue> yaman, there is a "linux" IDE for .net programming

[05:49] <sskroeder> Hi all ... My house is a mixed enviroment - one PC winXP, one laptop Ubuntu Feisty ... I've got a spare machine and i was planning to play around with it acting as web/ftp/file server ...
[05:49] <sskroeder> I'm not looking for a storage for /home or /Documents&Settings -- just plain storage ...
[05:49] <sskroeder> What would be the best course - just mount the drives - or set up some SAMBA ...   In the latter case - anyone got a howto ???    Thanks
[05:50] <Stream_Space> Cool same a i was looking for. Thang you werry Mutchu _ben_
[05:50] <_ben_> I migrated to Feisty recently and since, I can't activate dbus or else my network is down, does anyone knows something about it ?
[05:51] <darksaga> he guyz can anyone give me a repository that will provide gcc and g++?
[05:51] <_ben_> sskroeder : samba or nfs seems to be a good idea for what you want to do
[05:51] <gp|work> darksaga: Install build-essential
[05:51] <neverblue> well
[05:51] <darksaga> tnx
[05:51] <neverblue> I would have to admit
[05:51] <SillyZ> apt-get install build essential
[05:51] <neverblue> that was the most annoying bug
[05:51] <gp|work> no problem.
[05:52] <sskroeder> _ben_: what about the XP machine and NFS -- is that compatible (somehow) ?
[05:52] <user9> in between the <> sign.  Why do I keep getting booted?
[05:52] <mc44> user9: ok, try "sudo ifdown -a" then "sudo ifup -a" (this will disconnect you, you might want to try unplugging your ethernet first as well)
[05:53] <_ben_> hmm I'm not a XP expert (no joke inside) but I think it should be
[05:53] <brum|test> DJ-_-: what are the links opening in?
[05:53] <darksaga> is it surely build-essential
[05:53] <darksaga> ?
[05:53] <pike_> darksaga: y
[05:53] <sskroeder> _ben_: Ok ... thanks -- i'll give it a try ;-D

[05:54] <_ben_> sskroeder : find some more precise info before doing it, i'm really not sure about it
[05:54] <dedi> how can i list which service uses which tcp port?
[05:54] <darksaga> does anyone know how do i se the list of users on this chat?
[05:54] <darksaga> (using xchat)
[05:55] <gp|work> darksaga: The user list is collapsed by default. Click on the bar on the right and drag it to your left.
[05:55] <pike_> dedi: there is netstat
[05:55] <craigbass1976> nitro4ce, Does this help at all? http://tgos.org/newbie/binaries4.html

[06:19] <cyberdeath> So I'm guessing noone is familiar with Alfresco ? (www.alfresco.com)
[06:19] <pike_> matthew1429: gksu /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[06:19] <pike_> matthew1429: er.. gksu gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[06:19] <Delirium-NL> @novato, as i just told you, you need to emulate utorrent with wine.
[06:19] <matthew1429> pike_: where can i find a list of ports NOT to choose?
[06:20] <magnetron> pike_: you can use any port you like
[06:20] <Frogzoo> matthew1429: google 'iana reserved ports'
[06:20] <magnetron> matthew1429: i mean, use any port over 1024
[06:20] <matthew1429> Frogzoo: thank you
[06:20] <matthew1429> anyone using pidgin?
[06:20] <DJ-_-> anyone know why clicking links on gaim may open up in terminal even though preferred apps are something else?
[06:20] <pike_> matthew1429: well you can make it pretty much whatever even add multiple ports like Port 22 and next line Port 123 i wouldnt use port 631 generally..
[06:20] <alaQ> matthew1429: yeah, I am.
[06:21] <matthew1429> alaQ: Are the improvements worth upgrading from GAIM
[06:21] <cyberdeath> matthew: Yes ^_^.
[06:21] <pike_> matthew1429: if youre needing to connect from work or a locked down network 443 is a common port left open
[06:21] <alaQ> matthew1429: IMHO, it's got a better plugin base, and the new artwork is a bit nicer, but nothing really different from gaim2.0
[06:21] <Tudot> I am attempting to use Internet DJ Console for online audio streaming but it won't connect to the server and the mp3's sound horrible when they play but I know for a fact the files are fine. Can anyone help me with this?
[06:22] <agentnoob> got a turion64 with 32 bit OS and was wondering how to setup swiftfox :)
[06:22] <matthew1429> pike_: my idea is using a weird port so port scanners don't even get a shot at the login
[06:22] <matthew1429> is that good thinking or necessary?
[06:22] <ManaPirat> what is swiftbox? :)
[06:22] <Delirium-NL> swiftfox = faster version of firefox
[06:22] <Delirium-NL> i beleive the swiftfox site has an walkthrough on it
[06:22] <ManaPirat> aaah okay ;)
[06:23] <Delirium-NL> u should check that 00noob
[06:23] <agentnoob> ManaPirat: google be your friend young diamond in the rough
[06:23] <cyberdeath> Could anyone help me install Alfresco :\ ? I'm having a problem getting it to work w/Tomcat on Ubuntu 6.06LTS
[06:23] <pike_> matthew1429: generally if its not 22 the scripts wont try to connect. but ssh lets you limit the number or wrong attempts so its more of an annoyance than a danger
[06:23] <magnetron> matthew1429: use any port higher than 1024, many port scanners do not check those ports. also, use good passwords and install the fail2ban package
[06:23] <ManaPirat> agent i know, i just wanted some cinversation :)
[06:23] <ManaPirat> google is .. well no lad that makes a joke
[06:23] <matthew1429> so that config file will let me reg max attempts
[06:23] <matthew1429> okay
[06:24] <matthew1429> and changing to 443 will let me probably connect in a locked down network
[06:24] <matthew1429> okay
[06:24] <magnetron> matthew1429: fail2ban package will do an IP block of computers with more than 5 failed attempts (configurable)
[06:24] <Tudot> no help again, eh? ok.
[06:24] <agentnoob> Delirium-NL: so I would have to roll my own version of it?
[06:25] <Pirate_Hunter> If I have an installer for a particular Linux could I still install it on Ubuntu i.e. Debian_GNU-linux or xandros-linux / both  contain .deb files
[06:25] <magnetron> matthew1429: that would stop the random script-kiddies
[06:25] <Delirium-NL> site says , and i quote " There is now an installer available that is distro independent. It is a script that downloads and installs Swiftfox in the /opt directory and attempts to use existing Firefox plugins. The installer is probably the best way for most users to install Swiftfox."
[06:25] <brum> matthew1429: most locked down networks will all ssh tho
[06:25] <Delirium-NL> give that a go
[06:26] <brum> matthew1429: just make sure that ALL of your accounts have strong passwords
[06:26] <agentnoob> Delirium-NL: automated installer!? but but.. that's just too easy where the fun in it :(
[06:26] <matthew1429> magnetron: is fail2ban gui?  thx for recommendation
[06:26] <michael117> I have two sound cards in my computer (on-board and PCI) and Ubuntu has chosen the on-board while I would prefer PCI. How can I change the default sound device?
[06:26] <pike_> im not sure swiftfox warrents going into /opt
[06:26] <DJ-_-> pike_: do ya know why clicking links on gaim may open up in terminal even though preferred apps are something else?
[06:26] <magnetron> matthew1429: fail2ban is just an install-and-forget
[06:26] <Delirium-NL> it's as fun as you make of it agentnoob =)
[06:26] <matthew1429> brum:  thx for advice :D
[06:26] <ubuntu-rocks> i've connected an additional hard drive to my unbuntu box, when I run fdisk, how do I know what device it is?
[06:26] <matthew1429> okay
[06:26] <Delirium-NL> get some cookies and you'll have a blast
[06:27] <Pirate_Hunter> hi everyone does anyone know
[06:27] <Pirate_Hunter> still install it on Ubuntu i.e. Debian_GNU-linux or xandros-linux / both  contain .deb files
[06:27] <pike_> DJ-_-: sorry im not very good at all within gnome
[06:27] <matthewburke> Could anyone make a suggestion for a good easy to use and install virtual machine to run windows within Ubuntu. Theres a few apps I have to use on a windows platform and would like to do it all from my Ubuntu desktop opposed to usuain a kvm or rebooting when I need access to them.
[06:27] <matthew1429> what program do you guys use for ssh from windows?
[06:27] <agentnoob> Delirium-NL: you so stole that from the gnome cookie commercial :P
[06:27] <DJ-_-> pike_: k
[06:27] <michael117> ubuntu-rocks: I'd suggest typing just mount to see what devices are mounted then ls /dev/hd* or /dev/sd* to see what is availible
[06:27] <pike_> matthew1429: putty is the king of windows clients
[06:27] <agentnoob> matthew1429: use putty
[06:27] <Delirium-NL> agentnoob : no stealing here.. that was pure me
[06:27] <dawall> yeah putty rocks
[06:27] <matthew1429> I want to try to VNC through hamachi too, what program in windows do you guys use for this?
[06:27] <matthew1429> hamachi = free vpn
[06:28] <matthew1429> !vnc
[06:28] <ubotu> VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[06:28] <agentnoob> Delirium-NL: and peanut butter mmm those cookies the best
[06:28] <michael117> How can I change the default sound device?
[06:28] <matthew1429> hmmm.... vnc over ssh... hmmm
[06:28] <cyberdeath> For VNC? We use Ultr@VNC (ultravnc)
[06:28] <cyberdeath> VNC works fine over SSH if you tunnel through putty
[06:28] <ubuntu-rocks> thks, it was hdb
[06:28] <Pirate_Hunter> If I have an installer for a particular Linux could I still install it on Ubuntu i.e. Debian_GNU-linux or xandros-linux / both  contain .deb files
[06:28] <brum> matthew1429: any VPN going through an untrusted host (hamachi) cannot be considered private or secure
[06:28] <pike_> matthew1429: yeah for features everyone says ultravnc i use tightvnc generally
[06:28] <matthew1429> so basically enter vncviewer command through putty and I should be okY?
[06:28] <agentnoob> cyberdeath: why not tightvnc?
[06:29] <cyberdeath> Well, we actually used TightVNC too, but just changed to UltraVNC, I'm not exactly sure why :P.
[06:29] <alaQ> michael117: use 'sudo asoundconf list' to get a list of card names, and then 'sudo asoundconf set-default-card cardname'
[06:29] <pike_> matthew1429: youll run vncserver once youre ssh'd in and use a vnc client on windows
[06:29] <matthew1429> so it's a bad idea to have vnc server running all the time
[06:29] <agentnoob> matthew1429: hmm no try using stunnel with vncviewer client
[06:29] <matthew1429> okay
[06:30] <cyberdeath> Yeah, you run the vncserver and then in putty on the windows box...setup the tunnel to a localhost port. Then you'll type in vnc on the windows box: localhost:port.
[06:30] <Pirate_Hunter> please can anyone answer my question, i'm a newb and I need to install this but I just want to know if it could be installed on ubuntu
[06:30] <matthew1429> you guys have been extremeley helpful
[06:30] <cyberdeath> Well, yeah, stunnel works too :P
[06:30] <agentnoob> matthew1429: why have it run always? ssh over and tell it to run then log into it and kill the shell you were using
[06:30] <matthew1429> cool
[06:30] <matthew1429> i'll try that
[06:30] <michael117> How can I change the default sound device?
[06:30] <matthew1429> agent, thx
[06:30] <matthew1429> Pirate_Hunter: what's your ??
[06:31] <pike_> !sound | michael117
[06:31] <ubotu> michael117: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[06:31] <Pirate_Hunter> If I have an installer for a particular Linux could I still install it on Ubuntu i.e. Debian_GNU-linux or xandros-linux / both  contain .deb files
[06:31] <soundray> Pirate_Hunter: there's always a certain risk that packages compiled for Debian or Xandros won't work on Ubuntu.
[06:31] <Pirate_Hunter> damn
[06:31] <michael117> alaQ: Sorry, didn't see yours. Thanks!
[06:31] <alaQ> michael117: no prob.
[06:31] <soundray> Pirate_Hunter: however, you will always be able to remove them, so there is very little risk in just trying.
[06:31] <Pirate_Hunter> what about Loki or red hat_madriva??
[06:31] <agentnoob> Pirate_Hunter: yes make separate partitions, you can even resize the current partition you have
[06:31] <kling0n> Pirate_Hunter: depending onj what it is you're installing
[06:32] <ubuntu-rocks> what partition type should I make my additonal drive I just added to my box? i'm going to be move /var onto this new drive
[06:32] <kling0n> Pirate_Hunter: don't mess with libc, for instance
[06:32] <Pirate_Hunter> would those work but they are php scripts and I'm nt good at using those
[06:32] <agentnoob> Pirate_Hunter: they can all share swap and work together even swap files
[06:32] <soundray> Pirate_Hunter: you can convert their rpm packages to .debs, but the risk is then even bigger
[06:32] <ubuntu-rocks> or filesystem type I guess is my question
[06:32] <MirandaFR-Invite> hallo
[06:32] <kling0n> ubuntu-rocks: ext2
[06:32] <agentnoob> Pirate_Hunter: there is also qemu and vmware for emulating one system inside the other
[06:32] <soundray> Pirate_Hunter: what software do you need to install?
[06:32] <keith> Pirate_Hunter: there's a package called 'alien' that will convert rpms to debs, if you need red hat stuff
[06:32] <Pirate_Hunter> dam thats messed I was hoping to install crossover
[06:32] <keith> but that's messy
[06:32] <kling0n> ubuntu-rocks: or ext3 if you care about journalling
[06:33] <agentnoob> ubuntu-rocks: ext3 is better
[06:33] <kling0n> prolly better to just use ext3
[06:33] <ubuntu-rocks> kling0n - tks, looking for max performance
[06:33] <MirandaFR-Invite> speak franch
[06:33] <agentnoob> ubuntu-rocks: you can change how ext3 handles its jouralling for better performance
[06:33] <kling0n> ubuntu-rocks:  in that case, i'd suggest you do some reasing on reiserfs3 as well
[06:33] <Tom47> !fr
[06:33] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[06:34] <keith> ubuntu-rocks: http://fsbench.netnation.com/
[06:34] <agentnoob> kling0n: isn't that horribly buggy?
[06:34] <oriez> who can i use the keyboard command to - and + the volume, works on Windows
[06:34] <ccooke> ubuntu-rocks: what do you need to store on the filesystem?
[06:34] <soundray> Pirate_Hunter: consider running MS Office in a virtual machine
[06:34] <agentnoob> oriez: configure hot keys
[06:34] <ccooke> ubuntu-rocks: Will untrusted users be allowed to write to it?
[06:34] <kling0n> ccooke: he mentioned he was putting his /var on it
[06:34] <agentnoob> oriez: that program under services it lists make sure its on
[06:34] <tbnorth> will "ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386" executeables run in amd64 version ubutu?  They don't seem to...?
[06:34] <ccooke> ubuntu-rocks: and how much of a problem is data loss to you?
[06:34] <keith> tbnorth: no
[06:34] <agentnoob> oriez: sometimes it does work yet its very unnoticeable and you have to press multiple times
[06:35] <ccooke> (three questions, I know, but they're the core of any of these decisions)
[06:35] <prds> Hi all,
[06:35] <michael117> alaQ: So will it be implemented next time I boot or immediately because I just entered it and even tried restarting /etc/init.d/alsa-utils but I still don't hear sound
[06:35] <ubuntu-rocks> i'm stoing /var, moving it from my 10 gig drive to 120 gig drive.  data loss is not a big issue, i only care about the mysql users db
[06:35] <tbnorth> keith: thx - so you should't use amd64 if you're not sure you can get 64 bit versions of everything you'll use?
[06:35] <ubuntu-rocks> the db is just a holding place and gets purged daily
[06:35] <ccooke> kling0n: the problem is, /var is /variable :-) Could mean several different things.
[06:35] <soundray> tbnorth: try with the linux32 wrapper. You may have to install it.
[06:35] <prds> why i'm getting this message in syslog? zone localhost/IN: NS '<IP_ADDRESS>.localhost' has no address records (A or AAAA)
[06:35] <ccooke> kling0n: (that is: mail spool, news spool, other things which are important)
[06:35] <Pirate_Hunter> soundray - how much ram would a virtual machine take for MS Office
[06:36] <oriez> i did it but its work for the microphone volume, even the mute
[06:36] <agentnoob> tbnorth: I gave up on amd64 version, its too stressful. trashed entire system by installing like 3 32bit packages
[06:36] <ubuntu-rocks> this box is strictly a web server, no users
[06:36] <kling0n> ccooke: reiser3 is standard for suse i think.. and it's journaled, fast and has great support for small files
[06:36] <brum> prds: check /etc/hosts and make sure there is space between <IP_ADDRESS> and localhost
[06:36] <alaQ> michael117: not too sure.  (I have a PCMCIA soundcard that I hotplug - I just tell gnome to point to the one, and when it's not there, it defaults to the other)
[06:36] <kling0n> dont mind me too much though.. it's no  t my data (its all on Freebsd UFS)
[06:36] <soundray> Pirate_Hunter: don't know, I haven't tried. Not much more than Crossover, I reckon.
[06:37] <ccooke> kling0n: and yet it's *much* more fragile than ext3. And you should never use it if untrusted users are going to be able to create files on it.
[06:37] <soundray> Pirate_Hunter: are you sure you can't use OpenOffice instead?
[06:37] <ccooke> kling0n: okay. how much of a problem is restoring the machine?
[06:37] <rookiehwm> soundray, actually, a virtual machine will need enough to run the OS(presumably XP, etc.) and the app
[06:37] <rookiehwm> so at least 512 or so
[06:37] <ccooke> kling0n: er. not you, ubuntu-rocks
[06:37] <ccooke> ubuntu-rocks: okay. how much of a problem is restoring the machine?
[06:37] <Pirate_Hunter> soundray which is better Debian or RedHat or do both use the same system so it doesn't really matter if the application is intended for those systems
[06:38] <brum> Pirate_Hunter: you will have better luck installing debian pkgs over redhat
[06:38] <ubuntu-rocks> not a problem, the only data i want to keep is the users from the mysql db, everything else is dynmanic data that i don't care about
[06:38] <oriez> agentnoob: the Hotkeys is already selected
[06:38] <matthew1429> !vnc
[06:38] <ubotu> VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[06:39] <Pirate_Hunter> Tanx Bum Debian it is
[06:39] <yurimxpxman> is there any way to stop my bluetooth LED from blinking? I tried stopping the service, but that doesn't do it
[06:39] <ccooke> ubuntu-rocks: Right. Then if you're after speed, reiserfs is a good option.
[06:39] <oriez> agentnoob: but its seems that its have some problems
[06:39] <prds> brum: /etc/hosts file contains this line: <IP_ADDRESS> localhost web
[06:39] <prds> brum: Is there a problem?
[06:40] <ccooke> ubuntu-rocks: however, you should stick a database dump into cron once a day or so, backing up the users to a different drive
[06:40] <agentnoob> oriez: yeah you'll have to find where it keeps the settings and manually assign those buttons a task, can even change it if you like
[06:40] <dave_> when i enable desktop effects using nvidia-glx also, metacity closes/diappears. but when i turn desktop effects off metacity comes back. any ideas anyone?
[06:40] <brum> prds: are you running bind(dns) locally? or getting it from ISP?
[06:40] <EFing_A_> hi everyone...   has anyone ever seen this type of error:     hdd:  drive not ready for command
[06:40] <prds> brum: local
[06:40] <ubuntu-rocks> i do a daily cron job to do a full db dump that is being backed up on another box. tks
[06:41] <kling0n> bugger.. ill have to reboot... brb
[06:41] <ccooke> ubuntu-rocks: reiserfs is a very fast filesystem, but it has severe limitations. In most cases, it's actually better to use ext3. That said, I still use reiser for tasks where data integrity is much less important than speed.
[06:41] <agentnoob> ccooke: so I should partition my swap in reiser?...?
[06:41] <ubuntu-rocks> then I guess i'll play it safe and go with ext3 then
[06:42] <keith> agentnoob: swap doesn't have a filesystem
[06:42] <oriez> agentnoob: i did it on the keyboard setting but its not working on the master volume
[06:42] <ccooke> agentnoob: heh. No. swap is its own filesystem
[06:42] <dave_> when i enable desktop effects using nvidia-glx also, metacity closes/diappears. but when i turn desktop effects off metacity comes back. any ideas anyone?
[06:42] <agentnoob> ccooke: then I'll stick with my uber swap speed :)
[06:42] <Enverex> Does anyone have a link to the page explaining how to make your own .deb files from source?
[06:42] <ccooke> agentnoob: Good uses for reiserfs are a news spool, /tmp, mail spools which have external backups etc.
[06:42] <ccooke> (it's *especially* good as a news spool)
[06:43] <matthew1429> okay so just so i understand doing vnc from client (windows) through putty over ssh
[06:43] <matthew1429> I do stunnel
[06:43] <matthew1429> in terminal
[06:43] <matthew1429> and then just connect through vnc client?
[06:43] <keith> Enverex: http://www.quietearth.us/articles/2006/08/16/Building-deb-package-from-source
[06:43] <wyocracker> I feel like this is a dumb question, but when I'm in FileBrowser and I doubleclick on a folder, it doesn't open up.  Any idea why?
[06:43] <ccooke> for everything else, I'd recommend ext3 with the dir_index option set.
[06:44] <wyocracker> ...nor does a single click
[06:44] <dedi> whats a good imap server?
[06:44] <agentnoob> ccooke: what option is that?
[06:44] <matthew1429> whoops i need to install stunnel
[06:44] <ubuntu-rocks> what is the command to make my partion ext3 type on my additional drive (hdb)?
[06:44] <dedi> ubuntu-rocks:  mkfs.ext3
[06:45] <mjtunes> hi
[06:45] <agentnoob> ubuntu-rocks: or if you want the hard way fdisk
[06:45] <ccooke> agentnoob: it's a filesystem feature that tells ext3 to maintain a hashed directory index in addition to the traditional linked list. It's a cure for the massive slowdowns ext2/ext3 used to get in large directories.
[06:45] <Enverex> keith, Bad guide, the apps it uses are depreciated apparently
[06:45] <dedi> ubuntu-rocks: try gparted
