[04:54] <kashual> it's an 802.11a-g 2.4GHZ wireless cardbus adapter
[04:54] <BlueEagle> beesandflowers: It has occured before that downlaoded .iso files are corrupt.
[04:54] <doug_> ok ubuntu has started form the live cd
[04:54] <doug_> how do I fix the bootloader
[04:54] <mistraal> snoops: I followed the instructions from here : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=216480
[04:54] <santa99> erUSUL, maybe I'm too dumb for this but after  sudo dpkg-reconfigure localeconf it still shows me the locale i have before the  sudo dpkg-reconfigure localeconf
[04:54] <nso> jrib: hdc1
[04:54] <snoops> okay mistraal is compiz and xgl running?
[04:54] <qwerty2k> grub > doug_
[04:55] <qwerty2k> !grub > doug_
[04:55] <doug_> keep in mind i know nothing about linux
[04:55] <beesandflowers> right after it says 'loading kernel' i get some lines (about a page or two); i doutbt the iso's were defective as they installed fine on the machine i am working on right now
[04:55] <beesandflowers> also, they were burned with k3b and the checksums were correct
[04:55] <doug_> huh?
[04:55] <mistraal> snoops:  how would I know?
[04:55] <jrib> nso: alright so you can just do:  cd /media/hdc1/home/name_of_your_user
[04:55] <beesandflowers> i used different cd's as well
[04:55] <erUSUL> santa99: yu may need to log off and log in again
[04:55] <kashual> how can i get ubuntu supports my D-Link AirPlusG+ DWL-G650+
[04:55] <jrib> nso: after that, tell me the ouput of 'ls -l .Xauthority'
[04:55] <kashual> it's an 802.11a-g 2.4GHZ wireless cardbus adapter
[04:55] <BlueEagle> beesandflowers: Then it seems to be a hardware issue. Did you try vga safe mode?
[04:56] <qwerty2k> !repeat > kashual
[04:56] <santa99> erUSUL, ok thx took me long to find something you helped me in only one answer well done
[04:56] <kashual> ^^
[04:56] <chronoAZ> anything sweet i can do with an unused wireless router?
[04:56] <doug_> ok explain how i do this like I am a 2 year old
[04:56] <beesandflowers> yes, i did try vga=771 (not sure if that was the number) but then i got a big black emptyness on my screen and no sounds of working cdrom drive
[04:56] <waspius> so do i add from here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages one of the reps so i can get the decs for playing dvds?
[04:56] <doug_> lol
[04:56] <VVP> Hi!
[04:56] <erUSUL> beesandflowers: try booting with acpi=off (is a laptop, isn't it?)
[04:56] <BlueEagle> kashual: who you talking to? It helps us greatly if you prefix the person that is helping you with their nick. Makes it highlight in most IRC clients.
[04:56] <kashual> sry wouldn't flood or spamm
[04:57] <qwerty2k> !grub
[04:57] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[04:57] <snoops> mistraal you can check in terminal with ps -A | grep Xgl and then if something shows up, then ps -A | grep compiz
[04:57] <VVP> I can't understand my IRC... Fack!
[04:57] <qwerty2k> doug_, use https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[04:57] <snoops> mistraal it's case sensitive
[04:57] <beesandflowers> erUSUL: it is a laptop. i will try the acpi=off; do i need to use any other options going with that? like it seems there is a problem finding my harddisk or something...?
[04:57] <mistraal> I'll have to switch session again
[04:57] <erUSUL> waspius: add the two lines you see in the page (choose one of the mirrors) to your sources.list
[04:57] <doug_> huh
[04:57] <kashual> BlueEagle asked all in the room and hope that any answers and can help me
[04:57] <Captain_Fleming> qwerty2k: thnx, now the resolution works like a charm!
[04:57] <erUSUL> !bootoptions
[04:57] <ubotu> For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootOptions
[04:57] <doug_> you said something about grub
[04:57] <erUSUL> !bootoptions > beesandflowers
[04:58] <Captain_Fleming> Now, yet another question...
[04:58] <qwerty2k> Captain_Fleming, no problem :)
[04:58] <mistraal> brb
[04:58] <doug_> do I reinstall the grub loader by typing grub
[04:58] <doug_> ?
[04:58] <qwerty2k> doug_, follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[04:58] <beesandflowers> erUSUL: thanks for that! btw acpi=off results in the same kernel panic, i got the laptop next to me
[04:58] <Captain_Fleming> IF, I wanted to delete everything (folder, subfolders, subfiles) from a certain folder, command line...
[04:58] <RichW> all this talk of grub is making me hungry.
[04:58] <doug_> but i didn't install windows
[04:58] <qwerty2k> doug_, and do the second one where it says it will over write the windows bootlaoder
[04:58] <doug_> in fact i removed the seperate HD that had windows on it
[04:59] <qwerty2k> doug_, it will do what you want regarless of whether you instaleld windows or not
[04:59] <doug_> know i only have ubuntu
[04:59] <erUSUL> beesandflowers: you will have to do a bit of trial an error. also a good idea is to search in google with somethin like 'install ubuntu <laptop model>' to find if someone has succeed and documented the process
[04:59] <rulus> hi, anyone knows how I can change a folder's icon with a command line command?
[04:59] <snoops> doug_ what I think happened was the boot loader is installed on the wrong hdd - the windows one..when you removed it, you removed the ability to boot from ubuntu..
[04:59] <VVP> kikmklm
[04:59] <qwerty2k> Captain_Fleming, im not 100% but i htink it would be rm -R /home/user/foldertoremove
[04:59] <quiet> can anyone using vmware-server give me a hand?
[05:00] <snoops> so by installing grub from that guide, hopefully it'll install into the correct drive
[05:00] <beesandflowers> erUSUL: i have searched the two linux on laptop sites i found, and the only options for my model were the vga, noapic and noalpic which does not yield any results
[05:00] <doug_> no when I had both HD in it said it could'nt find an operating system
[05:00] <kashual> doug for extrem reason just install windows new it will overwrite all and doin an preinstall of ubuntu after that
[05:00] <Captain_Fleming> Ok, I'll test that one out (or at least look into it qwerty2k)
[05:00] <Amwyll> If I add a new NIC to Ubuntu box (different make from existing one), will it auto-detect and automatically install proper drivers? Anyone?
[05:00] <VVP> Why nobody speak with mi?
[05:00] <kashual> how can i get ubuntu supports my D-Link AirPlusG+ DWL-G650+
[05:00] <kashual> it's an 802.11a-g 2.4GHZ wireless cardbus adapter
[05:00] <Captain_Fleming> qwerty2k: indeed, thnx :)
[05:00] <beesandflowers> erUSUL: i learned to google before asking stupid questions. unfortunately the bootoptions page on ubuntu.org does not really show that many options
[05:00] <CheetahMk2> Amwyll: there's a quick way to check
[05:00] <synic> kashual: ndiswrapper.
[05:00] <qwerty2k> Captain_Fleming, no problem :)
[05:00] <snoops> kashual check the forums?
[05:01] <CheetahMk2> type in the chipset, and see if ubuntuy supports it. Even if it doesn't there's probably a way to get it working
[05:01] <doug_> ok i read that but now that i only have 1 HD in the compter what do I type to identify that?
[05:01] <erUSUL> VVP: this is a support channel for ubuntu if you have a problem please ask. if you want to chit/chat go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:01] <beesandflowers> erUSUL: or better: none i hadn't tried before. i was wondering if there was something about my ide controller that needed an option. like ide=nodma (if that does exist) or something (it kernel panicked with that line, in any case)
[05:01] <chungaroo> how do i restart my panel to see new changes?
[05:01] <qwerty2k> chungaroo, easiest way is to log out then log back in i think
[05:02] <qwerty2k> :D
[05:02] <kashual> synic allready installed but by plugin the hw it will shown as texas instruments card and a wrong hw type too
[05:02] <erUSUL> beesandflowers: what is your laptop model. ide chipset?
[05:02] <doug_> i don't understand that language
[05:02] <Amwyll> CheetahMk2 : It's a Realtek garbage, so I'm sure it's supported GENERALLY...
[05:02] <synic> kashual: doesn't matter what it shows as.  Install it like the instructions on the ndiswrapper say and it should work.
[05:02] <Amwyll> The question is how do I make sure the drivers are on the box and working?
[05:02] <nso> jrib: i dont think it mounted right
[05:03] <erUSUL> Amwyll: it should at boot time
[05:03] <nso> jrib: can you give me the command to mount it exactly how you wanted to
[05:03] <kashual> lol
[05:03] <beesandflowers> ok, the laptop is a HP nx6215 and the chipset for the ide is ... i don't know
[05:03] <theBeno> HiTech69, does anyone know how to make a boot floppy for Ubuntu?

[05:04] <kashual> it'sby that card impossible for have correct access to use the umts module
[05:04] <erUSUL> !repeat > theBeno
[05:04] <qwerty2k> erUSUL, beat me to it ;)
[05:04] <jrib> nso: if you prefer, it's probably easier to just boot up normally and hit ctrl-alt-f1 to get a terminal, run the commands you need to, and then ctrl-alt-f7 to return to X
[05:04] <beesandflowers> theBeno: you cannot boot ubuntu from a floppy anymore, i think that is the case for all kernels above 2.4
[05:04] <mistraal> snoops: Xgl yes compiz no
[05:04] <kashual> and the all other features which they have
[05:04] <erUSUL> theBeno: look at what ubotu said. you are looking for a grub floppie
[05:04] <beesandflowers> theBeno: you cannot boot the linux kernel above 2.4 from a floppy is what i meant to say
[05:04] <snoops> mistraal well it's good xgl is going :)
[05:05] <nso> jrib: only if you give me the commands first
[05:05] <snoops> want to try running it manually? opening a command line and doing
[05:05] <theBeno> erUSUL, It changed Hi, to a name, so I said it again cause I didn't know why it did that.
[05:05] <pollypocket> ok I found a simply demonstration example, http://www.ababasoft.com/music/music01.html if I go to this site with ubuntu-firefox  there is no sound. all music players are off. is this an alsa problem or a firefox problem ??
[05:05] <kashual> =:0) precompile the win driver and implement it on the ubunut core ^^
[05:06] <Pensacola> I formatted my external hd as fat32 but now I don't have write acces, what can I do?
[05:06] <theBeno> Ok thanks, because there is something wrong with my pc, and I need to boot from floppy.  It's a new lappy and my brother did something to it.
[05:06] <beesandflowers> erUSUL: thank you for your help. i will continue tickling google to get me some helpful results. i appreciate your time
[05:06] <snoops> mistraal something like this from terminal? killall gnome-window-decorator
[05:06] <erUSUL> beesandflowers: no problem ;) good luck
[05:06] <mistraal> ok
[05:06] <snoops> mistraal then gnome-window-decorator &
[05:06] <nso> lol @ tickling google
[05:06] <snoops> then mistraal compiz --replace gconf &
[05:06] <jrib> nso: of course:  what you are going to do is type without the quotes, 'ls -l /home/your_username/.Xauthority', and the third and fourth columns should be the same as your user.  If it says 'root' instead, then that is the problem.  If it does say root, just delete the file with 'sudo rm /home/your_username/.Xauthority'.  Do the same for .ICEauthority
[05:07] <doug_> ok i am at the place where it says grug>
[05:07] <doug_> what do I type now
[05:07] <Captain_Fleming> I feel good... I just managed to get eagle on my box ^-^

[05:18] <doug_> i don't know what i call my HD
[05:18] <cdubya> doug_, what are you trying to do?
[05:18] <FirstStrike> AshDragonScale: well as far as dvd player, i'd recommend xine

[05:21] <mistraal> its not on any of my repos
[05:21] <tengil> FirstStrike: for future reference it was add notification area to panel

[05:21] <FirstStrike> ok :P
[05:21] <erUSUL> FirstStrike: ;) yes but you have to be a "Master of the Known Universe" to tweak them all
[05:21] <doug_> yes
[05:22] <UU>
[05:22] <FirstStrike> lol erUSUL
[05:22] <doug_> then i did cntr, alt fi
[05:22] <doug_> then I typed grub

[05:22] <doug_> ?
[05:22] <doug_> it says grub.

[05:24] <mistraal> snoops: I'm reading that its supposedly not needed ... that I should use gconf-editor
[05:25] <erUSUL> doug_: is somthing like 'root (hdn,m)' and then 'setup (hdk)' where n is the number of the disk and m of the partition you have /boot/ or/and / . k is the number of the disk you want grub installed
[05:26] <three> does anyone remember where the How-To guide for instlling nvidia gfx drivers is?
[05:26] <cdubya> erUSUL, he left, but I'm glad you chimed in, because I've not gone that route.....just booted the LiveCD and opened a terminal, then used grub-install device_name or grub-install --recheck
[05:27] <h4ch3r> hello
[05:27] <snoops> mistraal yeah.. you shouldn't need gset-compiz at all

[05:28] <m0> my last question would be, if we do ./ what does it mean ?
[05:28] <feedback> alguien que hable espaol ?
[05:29] <jrib> !es
[05:29] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.

[05:29] <h4ch3r> hi man
[05:29] <chaddy> m0: this directory, like sh ./foo
[05:29] <jrib> h4ch3r: I don't understand exactly what you mean.  Are you running hoary now?  And do you want to upgrade your distribution to breezy?
[05:29] <m0> hmm
[05:29] <h4ch3r> jrib, no
[05:29] <m0> hmm
[05:29] <h4ch3r> get back hoary
[05:30] <m0> that means my jdk is in my userspace
[05:30] <m0> is that good to do ?/
[05:30] <UU> ..
[05:30] <h4ch3r> I'm use breezy i go back hoary
[05:30] <m0> it is in /home/m0/jdk1.5.0_08
[05:30] <h4ch3r> dist-upgrade
[05:30] <justafish> I've just upgraded my mobo to a nforce4 chipset- now I can't boot into ubuntu because it's on a sata drive which doesn't seem to be supported with this chipset. I don't really know what to do now..
[05:30] <h4ch3r> for back
[05:30] <h4ch3r> ??
[05:30] <jrib> h4ch3r: that's not really possible without a reinstall afaik.  But maybe we can fix what is not working for you in breezy?
[05:30] <erUSUL> h4ch3r: downgrading is not supported by apt
[05:31] <tengil> where can i change colors of the time and color of highlighted and not highlighted applications in the panels?
[05:31] <m0> erUSUL: where do you usually install java sdk ?/
[05:31] <justafish> when you boot the live dapper cd it doesn't see the sata drive either
[05:31] <h4ch3r> erUSUL, back version breezy for warty if possible "apt-get"??
[05:31] <erUSUL> m0: i intalled it under /opt/
[05:32] <Linux-Mania> Can I use LILO loader with ubuntu GRUB is waiting on booting time
[05:32] <m0> erUSUL: what is so special about opt?
[05:32] <erUSUL> m0: is a place to put OPTional software in unix systems
[05:33] <UU> ?
[05:33] <m0> erUSUL: so can I just mv it to opt ?
[05:33] <jeong> yay it works.
[05:33] <h4ch3r> ohhh shit
[05:33] <chaddy> Linux-Mania: why not just edit grub to reduce the wait?
[05:33] <h4ch3r> and now?
[05:33] <h4ch3r> I go back windows :'(
[05:34] <jeong> ..don't do it!
[05:34] <jeong> :D
[05:34] <erUSUL> m0: move it?!? when the installer asks you whare to put the files type /opt/
[05:34] <m0> mv: cannot move `jdk1.5.0_08/' to `/opt/jdk1.5.0_08': Permission denied
[05:34] <m0> but I already installed it in /home/m0/jdk1.5.0_0
[05:34] <erUSUL> m0: use sudo
[05:34] <MrRio> m0: sudo mv
[05:34] <h4ch3r> i see guys
[05:34] <UU> mC ,you tray sudo command
[05:34] <m0> but I already installed it, would it affect anything ?/
[05:35] <Linux-Mania> chaddy:  no no GRUB loading open up GRUB very slow
[05:35] <chaddy> ah
[05:35] <UU> why don't dislplay full message at xchat ?
[05:35] <m0> thanks guys
[05:35] <chaddy> don't turn the computer off so much and it won't be an issue, Linux-Mania
[05:35] <UU> at the end of char is lost .
[05:36] <proselyte> i installed my wusb54g adapter, but after i shut down, the installation seems to have broken
[05:36] <proselyte> i used this: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=192588&highlight=wusb54g
[05:36] <Linux-Mania> chaddy:  can LILO work for dapper drake
[05:37] <m0> how do we switch windows using keyboard quickly?
[05:37] <Jurgeni> does someone know what could be the problem. my networking has died, computer gets ip-address from router, but it cannot establish connection to anywhere and I cannot connect to it from other computer
[05:37] <chaddy> not sure, Linux-Mania, don't see why not
[05:37] <erUSUL> m0: alt + tab
[05:37] <m0> erUSUL: ah okoay thanks
[05:37] <Jurgeni> funny thing is that I don't remember doing anything, it just was like that one day
[05:37] <m0> I don't see any wow effects in ubuntu
[05:38] <Linux-Mania> chaddy:  thanks Ubuntu will work with GRUB :(
[05:38] <erUSUL> Jurgeni: no ping or anything
[05:38] <m0> I thought it would be cooler than windows
[05:38] <erUSUL> ?
[05:38] <m0> like a mac
[05:38] <chaddy> m0: learn more about it an what you think is cool, then implement it
[05:38] <chaddy> s/an/and
[05:39] <erUSUL> m0: install and configure xgl for 'wow effects'
[05:39] <Jurgeni> erUSUL: no, just "ping: sendmsg: operation not permitted"
[05:39] <m0> erUSUL: that in the apt-get?/
[05:39] <Jurgeni> erUSUL: and no answer when pinging from other computer
[05:39] <jeong> erUSUL, if I install xgl and don't like it.. will uninstalling it mess anything up?
[05:39] <erUSUL> Jurgeni: !!?? even with sudo ping ...
[05:40] <erUSUL> jeong: i don't know never done it
[05:40] <ubuntu> hi guys
[05:40] <Jurgeni> erUSUL: yep, it doesn't help
[05:40] <ubuntu> who was talking bout weehcat ?
[05:40] <jeong> hmm, k.
[05:40] <snoops> jeong there's more to it than just installing it.. but if you undo the changes you make from the guide you followed.. then yes.. no problems
[05:40] <Jurgeni> erUSUL: hardware works, when I boot to windows there is no problem
[05:41] <ubuntu> hi Acid___
[05:42] <erUSUL> Jurgeni: can you post the output of 'ifconfig -a'?? use pastebin
[05:42] <ubuntu> erUSUL:
[05:42] <ubuntu> hi
[05:43] <itsdaveperdue> Heya folks, anyone now of the problem using Turions with Ubuntu?  I'm trying to install on my laptop (Turion 64 2.0GHz) but the performance is horrible.
[05:43] <dpupp> im switching from breezy to dapper. I have a xorg.conf which has a tri-monitor setup... im wanting to pass the xorg.conf over to dapper, is it ok to just copy and replace? or are the xorg.conf from dapper and breezy different?
[05:44] <itsdaveperdue> they're a little different I believe, you may want to just copy your settings over manually
[05:44] <erUSUL> dpupp: during upgrade you will be asked about what to do with the conf file just answer to keep it
[05:44] <cortez> hello. does anyone know how I can generate a new locale in dapper?  ``dpkg-reconfigure -plow locales isn't working for me
[05:44] <ubuntu> ubuntu is nice
[05:44] <croach_> hi
[05:45] <jeong> ubuntu IS nice ;)
[05:45] <itsdaveperdue> word
[05:45] <dpupp> erusul, thanks. but im already in dapper on a clean swtich.... so might just have to copy over settings manually.
[05:45] <croach_> i cant get my sounds to work
[05:45] <itsdaveperdue> but unfortunately my Turion 64 doesn't think so...
[05:45] <erUSUL> cortez: System>Admin>language support
[05:45] <cortez> my LANGUAGE environment variable is set to "en_US:en_GB:en" and believe it or not, the absence of an en_GB locale is causing 'dd' to segfault.
[05:45] <ubuntu> croach_:  got alsa installed?
[05:45] <cortez> erUSUL: I meant non-graphically.
[05:45] <erUSUL> dpupp: yes you can copy it
[05:45] <croach_> using nforce2 and optical cable.... spdif?
[05:45] <croach_> yes
[05:45] <cortez> besides, there is no "English (United Kingdom)" there, I checked.
[05:45] <ubuntu> croach_:  open konsole
[05:46] <Jurgeni> erUSUL: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20892
[05:46] <exs> Hello. I notice there is an ideas wiki. I really like this, but It would be even better if we could get a "definite implementation" section, where the most wanted ideas/features will be (for certain) made into the new release (edgy eft in this case at the moment)
[05:46] <dpupp> i have a bad feeling im about to muck something up ^_^ wEEeeeE!!!
[05:46] <ubuntu> FirstStrike: hi dude, wb
[05:46] <croach_> yes
[05:46] <cdubya> itsdaveperdue, I've heard of problems, but mostly with folks trying to install the 64-bit version.
[05:46] <FirstStrike> hi
[05:46] <Jurgeni> erUSUL: had to save that to usb-stick first and move to other machine where network works :)
[05:46] <ubuntu> croach_: run the aumix command
[05:46] <Sttuttter> hi, i can print from anything but adobe reader...what should the command to print to a cups printer be?
[05:46] <ubuntu> see if nothing is muted
[05:46] <Jurgeni> erUSUL: eth1 is interface that is connected to network
[05:47] <dpupp> thanks everyone. i'll be back in a few min after i break something else. ^_^
[05:47] <jeong> lol
[05:47] <croach_> aumix ..... "command not found"
[05:47] <ubuntu> dpupp:  good luck
[05:47] <FirstStrike> i've got an AMD 64 processor but i've heard nothing but bad things about the 64 bit version.
[05:47] <ubuntu> croach_: install it
[05:47] <itsdaveperdue> cdubya: I've tried the 386 version also, they both seem to crap on me, heh.  I've been keeping an eye on the forums and I can't find a solution.
[05:47] <FirstStrike> i'm running 386 just fine on an AMD 64 3700+
[05:47] <itsdaveperdue> FirstStrike: It's regarding a turion 64.  It's running super slow
[05:47] <m0> can we set up "path" as in windows?/
[05:47] <FirstStrike> scary
[05:47] <catadoxas> Im kinda despared I cant seem to get the drivers for my ati x600 card set up properly... my flgxinfo allways tells me that mesa3d is running opengl
[05:48] <cdubya> itsdaveperdue, ouch
[05:48] <catadoxas> ive even checked the forums
[05:48] <chaddy> FirstStrike: I'm running the 64bit, it's fine, honest
[05:48] <catadoxas> and it seems there is a known bug
[05:48] <catadoxas> but the procedure there didnt help
[05:48] <catadoxas> any ideas?
[05:48] <itsdaveperdue> I've run other 64-bit distros ok,  but not Ubuntu, blah
[05:48] <FirstStrike> yea, but i use wine for gaming and such.
[05:48] <catadoxas> but waiting for the next driver
[05:48] <croach_> nope nothings muted
[05:48] <ubuntu> FirstStrike:  with wine isint it slow?
[05:49] <FirstStrike> nope
[05:49] <UU> \bing
[05:49] <itsdaveperdue> do you guys think that disabling apic it might help?
[05:49] <chaddy> you can do a 32bit chroot for wine, haven't got round to it myself, yet
[05:49] <manmadha> harisund, he.. u know the FM for south( i mean andhra....)
[05:49] <catadoxas> but there is no directx is there?
[05:49] <FirstStrike> half life 2 runs better for me on ubuntu than it does on windows
[05:49] <jeong> really?
[05:49] <catadoxas> i run hl2 on cedega
[05:49] <seppe> hi, has anyone tried processing (see processing.org) on ubuntu?
[05:49] <jeong> i tried running steam through wine yesterday but got some kind of error
[05:49] <FirstStrike> saga of ryzom, with the 2.6.17 kernel and a patch to wine runs perfectly as well.
[05:50] <manmadha> he any body from india
[05:50] <manmadha> ?
[05:50] <ubuntu> croach_:  u installed aummix?
[05:50] <dmglouis> im indian
[05:50] <croach_> yes
[05:50] <jeong> with wine, you don't have to have copies of the exes or files or anything on an ext3 partition right?  You can just run them from the Windows partition orn o?
[05:50] <jeong> *or no
[05:50] <dmglouis> not lived there for a long time
[05:50] <ubuntu> make sure alsa and it other serivces r runing
[05:50] <manmadha> dmglouis, u know how to get the FM online?
[05:50] <FirstStrike> jeong: yes, you can run them from the windows partition too
[05:50] <manmadha> dmglouis, for indian music?
[05:50] <itsdaveperdue> I'm going to try i386 again.
[05:50] <croach_> how do i check that?
[05:51] <dmglouis> manmadha:what language?
[05:51] <manmadha> dmglouis, telugu
[05:51] <ubuntu> use rcconf to chk for which service are starting on bootup
[05:51] <dmglouis> manmadha:try raaga.com
[05:51] <ubuntu> make sure alsa is there
[05:51] <manmadha> dmglouis, i want the FM services
[05:51] <jeong> First, do you run CS under wine too then?
[05:51] <catadoxas> any ideas for a kernel for dapper drake?  I edited gdm.conf-config now it won't load x properly. Hangs the machine completely. No way of switching to tty1 or anything. How can I change that gdm.conf?
[05:52] <manmadha> dmglouis, radio
[05:52] <dmglouis> manmadha:im not sure
[05:52] <manmadha> dmglouis, ok no probs
[05:52] <ubuntu> Mistraal:  chk the folder if it made a backup
[05:52] <dmglouis> manmadha:you want good songs go to raaga
[05:53] <Mistraal> can't
[05:53] <Mistraal> no access to disk
[05:53] <manmadha> dmglouis, ya i know
[05:53] <dmglouis> manmadha:i think they have telegu
[05:53] <dmglouis> manmadha:oh then n/m

[05:55] <Mistraal> can't mount HD
[05:55] <ubuntu> wo0t :O
[05:56] <Mistraal> is there any way of not booting to X? Holding shift or ctrl or something?
[05:56] <ubuntu> restart ubuntu , and start this time in resuce mode
[05:56] <ubuntu> rescue*
[05:56] <Mistraal> how?
[05:56] <ubuntu> it gives option

[05:58] <Ivanowitch> !infrared
[05:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about infrared - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:58] <ubuntu> ue bluetooth to connect
[05:59] <linopil> any idea for scanner working for root user? what permissions ?
[05:59] <Ivanowitch> can't, neither my computer or my phone got it... which sucks, i know :(
[05:59] <Rookie-> linopil - perm should be 655
[05:59] <gan|y|med>  how is the ipw2200 (wlan) firmware implemented in ubuntu? i have my own kernel, but there is no hotplug dir to put the firmware into. but the standard kernel works with wlan.
[05:59] <ubuntu> is ird module installed?
[06:00] <croach_> i can get the sound working if i dont use the optical input.... but then i cant use my 5.1 system
[06:00] <linopil> 10x Rookie-
[06:00] <Ivanowitch> err... i think so... it seems that i've got the software i need, just a matter of configuring it...
[06:00] <m0> I am having trouble with something. How do I add a shortcut (eclipse) to my Acpplications button ?
[06:01] <m0> or in the Panel
[06:01] <nopcode> i've been trying to upgrade from hoary to breezy to dapper... but the server fails to reboot afterwards... tried it two times now :/
[06:01] <ubuntu> Ivanowitch:  install service, turn infra on ur phone and the services of infra on ur pc , then try connecting
[06:01] <itsdaveperdue> m0: right-click, add to panel
[06:01] <itsdaveperdue> m0: then application launcher, or custom launcher
[06:01] <ubuntu> hi dvae
[06:02] <ubuntu> dave*
[06:02] <itsdaveperdue> hiya Ubuntu
[06:02] <m0> Thank you itsdaveperdue
[06:02] <itsdaveperdue> no prob bob
[06:02] <itsdaveperdue> or, m0
[06:03] <m0> itsdaveperdue: but how do I use the icon?
[06:03] <m0> eclipse's icon
[06:03] <m0> i can't browse to the eclipse executable since tis not an icon
[06:03] <itsdaveperdue> You want to add a shortcut to the panel or the desktop?
[06:03] <m0> panel
[06:03] <m0> the icon is a question mark
[06:04] <ubuntu> brb
[06:04] <itsdaveperdue> is it not is the application menu?
[06:04] <m0> itsdaveperdue: no it isn't It is on the panel
[06:04] <gan|y|med> how is wlan firmware implemented in ubuntu? udev?
[06:04] <ubuntu> back
[06:05] <itsdaveperdue> m0: do you know how to start it from the console?
[06:05] <m0> itsdaveperdue: yea by just typing eclipse
[06:05] <Chaks> is there a core ubuntu iso for download?
[06:05] <bburns> How do I make an application start when ubuntu starts?
[06:05] <bburns> for instance, syslog-ng
[06:06] <itsdaveperdue> m0: So click add to panel, then select Custom Launcher, type eclipse in the command, and select an icon, you should be good
[06:06] <ubuntu> add it to init.d
[06:06] <bburns> ubuntu, how would I do that?
[06:06] <Ng> bburns: the syslog-ng package should include a script that gets dropped into /etc/init.d/ and then a symlink to that in /etc/rc2.d/ will make it start at boot
[06:06] <m0> itsdaveperdue: yea but when I select an ICON and I goto eclipse directoy, I see nothing present inorder to choose
[06:07] <bburns> Ng, do you run syslog-ng
[06:07] <Ng> nope
[06:07] <bburns> Ng, how would I know which scripts are what
[06:07] <m0> itsdaveperdue: i only see custom default icons from pixmaps
[06:07] <ubuntu> i have syslog running here
[06:07] <bburns> ubuntu, syslog-ng ?
[06:07] <Ng> ubuntu: syslog != syslog-ng
[06:07] <ubuntu> oh ok
[06:07] <itsdaveperdue> m0: that means you have to find the icon one the internet or select a different one
[06:07] <ubuntu> my error
[06:07] <ubuntu> sorry
[06:07] <m0> itsdaveperdue: when I press the browse button, wont allow me to use same icon the executable is using
[06:07] <Ng> bburns: the syslog-ng package includes /etc/init.d/syslog-ng
[06:08] <Captain_Fleming> Any1 here knows good cd-r burning software?
[06:08] <ubuntu> Captain_Fleming:  k3b
[06:08] <itsdaveperdue> m0: sorry m0, I'm kind of a newbie, so there might be another way to get the icon.
[06:08] <bburns> Ng, how do I know which script is what
[06:08] <m0> itsdaveperdue:  its okay
[06:08] <bburns> Ng, I see syslog-ng.init, is that it?
[06:08] <Ng> bburns: what do you mean by "which script"?
[06:08] <Ng> bburns: how did you install syslog-ng?
[06:08] <m0> hey guys so is there a way to get the ICON from an Executable?
[06:08] <bburns> ./configure
[06:08] <bburns> make && make install
[06:08] <Captain_Fleming> ubuntu: Uhm, can he also burn mp3 cd's.
[06:08] <Ng> bburns: why not use the package that's already available in ubuntu? :)
[06:09] <ubuntu> Captain_Fleming: yes
[06:09] <bburns> Ng, I used the 2.x stable
[06:09] <linopil> command line command for adding common user to root group  < temporarily >
[06:09] <Ng> bburns: then I would assume that the .init script is the one you need to put into /etc/init.d and symlink to /etc/rc2.d/
[06:09] <Ng> bburns: I would suggest reading their install docs though :)
[06:09] <Stroganoff> no
[06:09] <Ng> linopil: sudo adduser someusername admin   (assuming by "root group" you mean they get sudo access)
[06:10] <bburns> Ng, there are no install docs, trust me, ive looked -- I see the init script but no symlink
[06:10] <linopil> 10x Ng
[06:10] <Stroganoff> Ng, use update-rc.d instead
[06:10] <Ng> bburns: you have to make the symlink: sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/syslog-ng /etc/rc2.d/S10syslog-ng
[06:10] <Stroganoff> man update-rc.d
[06:10] <bburns> Ng, huh
[06:11] <gwilma> Does anyone know how to force the removal of a package? I've tried installing jedit from a .deb, but now get errors like : "dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute old post-removal script: No such file or directory"
[06:11] <bburns> Ng, do I need to make a folder in init.d for syslog-ng?
[06:11] <Stroganoff> bburns, ~# man update-rc.d
[06:11] <BeepAU> hey everyone, i'm trying to get vmware running using a windows xp iso, i used this guide - http://www.vdomck.org/blog/2006/06/15/running-windows-under-ubuntu/ , but am not quite sure where to put the iso. can anyone help me out?
[06:11] <phlax> hi - ive got a dapper install from a livecd - when booting the loopback is not properly configed - interfaces file seems to be ok - any ideas?
[06:12] <Ng> bburns: no, there don't tend to be folders in init.d. you might want to use update-rc.d as Stroganoff suggests, to make the symlink for you
[06:12] <bburns> Ng, but should i just cp /path/to/dir/syslog-ng.init /etc/init.d/ first?
[06:12] <Stroganoff> no

[06:13] <ubuntu> lastnode: ty same to u
[06:14] <nightattack> how can I make opera my default browser?
[06:14] <bburns> Stoganoff: so.. update-rc.d /path/to/syslog-ng.init defaults
[06:15] <linopil> admin question
[06:15] <Shish> I just switched graphics cards, and now X won't start -- how do I know what driver to use?
[06:15] <linopil> can a group be a member user of other group ?
[06:15] <bburns> Stroganoff: so.. update-rc.d /path/to/syslog-ng.init defaults
[06:15] <lordhelmet> use a very basic xorg.conf and try the vesa driver (or nv or ati for nvidia or ati cards)
[06:16] <Ng> linopil: no
[06:16] <Jamminpotato> hey
[06:16] <nightattack> how can I make opera my default browser?
[06:16] <bburns> nightattack > !repeat
[06:16] <Ng> Shish: what's your new graphics card? "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" will let you reconfigure X and select the driver you need
[06:16] <`m0> Hi, I am wondering how can I scan for available wireless locations?
[06:16] <PuGz> hey guys. i just got my usb tv card working with ubuntu! hooray!
[06:17] <Jamminpotato> i have a really n00b question, involving how to see my windows partition on my hdd from a ubuntu live cd? can anyone help?
[06:17] <cdubya> nightattack, System > Preferences > Preferred Applications
[06:17] <A-L-P-H-A> Does Edgy Eft use X.org 7.1?
[06:17] <bburns> Ng: so.. update-rc.d /path/to/syslog-ng.init defaults
[06:17] <nightattack> cdubya, thanks :)
[06:17] <cdubya> np
[06:18] <lmosher> If you run the script "script  <filename>" how do I get <filename> from within the script?
[06:18] <PuGz> A-L-P-H-A: check out this web page: http://distrowatch.com/ubuntu
[06:18] <chaddy> Jamminpotato: you want to add a line to /etc/fstab like this: /dev/hda2       /media/hda2     ntfs    defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0       1 , then mount -a
[06:18] <`m0> I am wondering how can I scan for available wireless locations?
[06:18] <Ng> `m0: either in the properties of the wireless interface in System->Administration->Networking, or with "iwlist scan" in a terminal
[06:18] <Jamminpotato> thanks chaddy, i'll try that
[06:18] <PuGz> A-L-P-H-A: that will keep listing the latest packages ubuntu has
[06:18] <quiet> if anyone interested in a custom icon for the Gnome Main Menu: http://quiet.unixcorps.org
[06:18] <lordhelmet> lmosher: assuming it's bash, it should be the variable $1 if i remember right
[06:18] <Ng> bburns: I think so, but I don't use update-rc.d, so I'm not sure
[06:18] <A-L-P-H-A> PuGz, thanks!
[06:18] <PuGz> `m0: sudo iwlist eth0 scan
[06:18] <bburns> Ng: what do you use
[06:18] <`m0> Ng: thankyou
[06:18] <PuGz> A-L-P-H-A: np
[06:19] <A-L-P-H-A> PuGz, Now I gotta bookmark that site.  Very handy
[06:19] <Jamminpotato> one other question is there a bash command to change screen resolution?
[06:19] <`m0> PuGz: Thanks
[06:19] <Ng> quiet: I just make the symlink by hand
[06:19] <PuGz> A-L-P-H-A: the rest of distrowatch.com is too!
[06:19] <chaddy> Jamminpotato: have a look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:19] <quiet> Ng, to set the custom icon you mean?
[06:20] <Jamminpotato> chaddy, thanks 1680x1050 was not one of the live cd default options =/
[06:20] <A-L-P-H-A> PuGz, I'm actually looking for a way to search for a distro that uses x.org 7.1
[06:20] <Ng> quiet: no, I was talking to the wrong person, sorry ;)
[06:20] <quiet> ok
[06:20] <Ng> bburns: I just make the symlink by hand
[06:20] <bburns> Ng, It is looking for the init file from the /etc/init.d  dir
[06:20] <Ng> quiet: the logo image file is kinda big though ;)
[06:20] <PuGz> A-L-P-H-A: ahh... in steps distrowatch.com again! http://distrowatch.com/search.php
[06:20] <chaddy> bah /me has to make do with 1440x900 :-(
[06:20] <A-L-P-H-A> PuGz, really want to fix my three monitor setup that I can't get working with ubuntu.  Used to work in breezy, but dies in dapper drake
[06:20] <bburns> Ng, does that mean that I need to cp /path/to/syslog-ng.init /etc/init.d first?
[06:21] <PuGz> A-L-P-H-A: use the search on that page to search for distros using xorg 7.1
[06:21] <Ng> bburns: like I said, I'm really not familiar with update-rc.d. To do it quickly by hand, sudo cp /path/to/syslog-ng.init /etc/init.d/syslog-ng ; sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/syslog-ng /etc/rc2.d/S10syslog-ng
[06:21] <`m0> I see Wirless connection (eth1 is active) Ethernet connection (eth0 is active) Modem Connection (ppp not configured)
[06:21] <Jamminpotato> chaddy, i can't find fstab in etc, maybe because its a live cd?
[06:21] <A-L-P-H-A> PuGz, thanks... it was in the packages serarches off that page.
[06:21] <`m0> But when I do sudo iwlist eth1 scan  it says
[06:22] <PuGz> A-L-P-H-A: these distros: Ark, Fedora 6, Frugalware, gentoo, gobolinux, kateos, mandriva
[06:22] <`m0> Interface doesn't support scannign
[06:22] <hoot> hey guys ... the other day i found this "addition" to ubuntu ... something like "ubuntu easy" which was suppoesed to install real player & wmv player and nvidia drivers ... anyone know what it's called and where can i find it
[06:22] <PuGz> A-L-P-H-A: i have personally tried and like these: frugalware, gentoo and kateos... but in my opinion ubuntu is the best distro... its a shame u cant get it working
[06:22] <chaddy> Jamminpotato: if it's not already there you should be safe to "touch /etc/fstab" then edit it
[06:22] <PuGz> hoot: easyubuntu
[06:22] <`m0> Any ideas why I get "interface doesn't support scanning)
[06:22] <chaddy> hoot: easyubuntu
[06:23] <`m0> if in System->Administration->Networking it says Wirless connection is eth1
[06:23] <hoot> hahha... nice
[06:23] <`m0> sudo iwlist eth1 scan
[06:23] <PuGz> hoot: easyubuntu.freecontrib.org
[06:23] <Jamminpotato> chaddy, it says permission denied, when i try to touch it, whats the command to change permissions (sorry i'm really a linux n00b)
[06:23] <chaddy> sudo, Jamminpotato
[06:23] <augustin> hello
[06:23] <Jamminpotato> thanks forgot that chaddy
[06:23] <chaddy> sudo some_command
[06:23] <nso> jrib: you there?
[06:23] <chaddy> np
[06:23] <augustin> someone here to help me with a BIG partition problem please?
[06:24] <`m0> now when I do sudo iwlist eth1 scan, it says no scan results
[06:24] <A-L-P-H-A> PuGz, maybe today it'll change (fingers crossed)
[06:24] <danieleboyo> can anyone help me with smb?
[06:24] <jrib> nso: yes, but gery very frustrated with dell on the phone at the moment.  What's up?
[06:24] <PuGz> hoot: you may also want to look at this: http://www.getautomatix.com/
[06:24] <augustin> as in: on a dual-boot system, WinXP install program can see my various partitions (NTFS, Ext3, FAT32, etc), but GParted can only see an unpartitioned disk?
[06:24] <PuGz> A-L-P-H-A: perhaps!
[06:24] <bburns> Ng, I did both, yours and update-rc.d to make sure it worked, was that bad?
[06:24] <Linuturk_eats> is automatix realy all that? I have a hard time trusting it
[06:25] <bur[n] er> augustin: try qtparted?
[06:25] <Jamminpotato> chaddy, what dose touch do, the command ran but nothign really happened
[06:25] <hoot> PuGz: thanx man
[06:25] <Linuturk_eats> I get the feeling it's going to hose my system
[06:25] <itsdaveperdue> m0: make sure the wireless card is turned on with any hardware switch you may have, also make sure the correct modules are loaded (not sure how, but google has lots of info)
[06:25] <chaddy> try ls /etc/ you should now see the new file, Jamminpotato
[06:25] <PuGz> `m0: you could try removing the module, stopping all network controlling programs, and then ifconfig eth1 up and then the scan?
[06:25] <Jamminpotato> k
[06:25] <danieleboyo> my file sharing properties are correct, but my computer is not detected in the network
[06:25] <jrib> nso: I'm gonna go grab lunch, but just ask the channel or I should be back in about half an hour
[06:25] <danieleboyo> any ideas?
[06:25] <Ivanowitch> ok, so now, i've got my infrared working... turned out that it was a bios configuration thing.. :S... can anyone help me connect to my phone? it's a nokia 6610i, and I've got gnokii, but it tells me, that it would break my phone if it connected... any solutions?
[06:25] <nso> jrib: I did what you said but then I realied I didnt know what I was doiing...so I just reinstalled ubuntu and set up my video and monitor drivers for ati and after the restart it did the same exact thing
[06:25] <PuGz> A-L-P-H-A: http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[06:26] <`m0> PuGz: how do I remove the module?
[06:26] <PuGz> A-L-P-H-A: that also tells you what packages are in what version of ubuntu
[06:26] <PuGz> `m0: sudo modprobe -rv MODULE_NAME
[06:26] <ProN00b> is ubuntu going to be using some strange "gnome web browser" in its next release ?
[06:26] <Ng> no
[06:26] <Ng> firefox will still be the default
[06:26] <itsdaveperdue> Epiphany, if you want
[06:26] <ProN00b> ok
[06:26] <A-L-P-H-A> I'm having a problem with having multiple video cards, using the DRI ati drivers. e shoot:
[06:26] <A-L-P-H-A> I removed the PCI card, to attempt to just use the AGP. No problems, "dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" made X work with the AGP card.
[06:26] <A-L-P-H-A> However, when I tried to merge the new xorg.conf with the old, it dies. I believe that this is an issue with the drivers, causing the lock up.
[06:26] <A-L-P-H-A> So, I can get the card to work with either the PCI or the AGP, but not both.
[06:26] <`m0> PuGz: what would the module name be?
[06:26] <A-L-P-H-A> sorry (bad paste)
[06:26] <ProN00b> firefox default = good
[06:26] <danieleboyo> anyone help with samba?
[06:27] <Jamminpotato> if a file is read only the command to make it not read only is?
[06:27] <A-L-P-H-A> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=189651 <-- is the post to describe my problem.
[06:27] <augustin> bur[n] er, thanks
[06:27] <rockets40> hi everyone
[06:27] <cdubya> firefox default = not good for some
[06:27] <PuGz> `m0: perhaps you shouldn't bother with that... whats your problem?
[06:27] <chaddy> Jamminpotato: chmod 777 filename
[06:27] <Ng> cdubya: such as?
[06:27] <cdubya> Ng, won't use it.
[06:27] <`m0> PuGz: I cannot scan for wireless networks
[06:27] <rockets40> anybody knows how to boot a powerpc g3 form cd?
[06:27] <Jamminpotato> chaddy, 777?
[06:27] <Ng> cdubya: I mean who isn't it good for?
[06:27] <PuGz> `m0: are you currently connected to one?
[06:27] <itsdaveperdue> So really, no one has any information on making a Turion 64 work with Ubuntu?  Either with i386 or x86_64?
[06:27] <`m0> PuGz: it says No Scan Results for eth1
[06:27] <cdubya> Ng, me
[06:28] <`m0> PuGz: how do I check if I am connected
[06:28] <rockets40> i want to install ubuntu on my g3 mac
[06:28] <sethk> rockets40, if it is like the g4 you press a key during boot up.  I forget the key, but check apple's site
[06:28] <cdubya> danielboyo, what's the issue
[06:28] <chaddy> permissions are a bit complicated at first, Jamminpotato
[06:28] <`m0> PuGz: it says interface eth1 is active
[06:28] <jonass> how can i increase mic volume?
[06:28] <Jamminpotato> chaddy, ok
[06:28] <Ng> cdubya: you have the choice to use something else, I was more looking for reasons why it's not good
[06:28] <PuGz> `m0: ifconfig <- does that list an ip under the eth1 section?
[06:28] <cdubya> Ng, hangs terribly after a short time of use
[06:28] <rockets40> sethk: it's g3
[06:28] <Ng> cdubya: have you filed a bug report?
[06:28] <danieleboyo> cdubya, my linux box is detected in my windows network, but i cant access anything on it. it says to enter a username and password, but i have not set any
[06:28] <rockets40> sethk: i tried all keys
[06:29] <`m0> PuGz: no
[06:29] <`m0> PuGz: it doesn't place IP
[06:29] <sethk> rockets40, yes, I know.  check the docs.  It isn't like a pc, you have to hod the thing down for a long time
[06:29] <jonass> how can i increase mic volume?
[06:29] <cdubya> Ng, it was told me that it's due to flash/java, but nothing that I could do would resolve the issue.....
[06:29] <PuGz> `m0: what does iwconfig say about the essid for eth1?
[06:29] <jonass> ok i have the answer ,)
[06:29] <chaddy> jonass: alsamixer
[06:29] <sethk> rockets40, apple's web site has the info, so don't guess, just look it up.
[06:29] <cdubya> danielboyo, do you have a shared folder setup?
[06:29] <danieleboyo> yup
[06:30] <Jamminpotato> chaddy, i can't save file chagnes cause it's a live cd =//....
[06:30] <rockets40> sethk: thanx
[06:30] <Ng> cdubya: does it work without any plugins and with a fresh profile?
[06:30] <`m0> PuGz: IT takes forever to Activate Interface
[06:30] <PuGz> `m0: what do you mean?
[06:30] <cdubya> Ng, I don't think so, but I think I tried that too.
[06:30] <duane_> hello
[06:30] <cdubya> danielboyo, and the machine you're trying to connect from, it's a legit user on the linux box/
[06:31] <`m0> PuGz: Hmm when I do ifconfig all I see is lo (loopback)
[06:31] <duane_> I installed some gtk-engine-* debs
[06:31] <chaddy> hmm, /me didn't really consider that aspect, Jamminpotato
[06:31] <duane_> how can i use them?
[06:31] <PuGz> `m0: ooohh... type this: sudo ifconfig eth1 up
[06:31] <PuGz> `m0: then do: sudo iwlist eth1 scan
[06:31] <danieleboyo> cdubya, ilegit user? i am trying to view a folder on my linux box from my windows computer
[06:31] <Jamminpotato> chaddy, if i were to copy the contents of the cd to an external hdd and set the bios to boot to usb would that work?
[06:31] <`m0> PuGz: It says SIOCSIFFFLAGS: No such file or directory
[06:32] <PuGz> `m0: after which command?
[06:32] <`m0> PuGz: sudo ifconfig eth1 up
[06:32] <cdubya> danielboyo, a legitimate user
[06:32] <chaddy> Jamminpotato: there is a way of using usb with the live CD, my best advice is go to a bookshop and look in "Ubuntu Hacks" from O'reilly, take your camera
[06:32] <chaddy> or buy it
[06:32] <cdubya> danielboyo, and I understood that....;)
[06:32] <Jamminpotato> buying from o'reilly is never bad
[06:32] <Linuturk_eats> is there a way to get Evolution 2.8 on Dapper w/o hosing my system?
[06:33] <Jamminpotato> well thanks chaddy for all your help
[06:33] <Guest142> moin moin
[06:33] <chaddy> Jamminpotato: I can guarantee it's not a purchase you will regret ;-)
[06:33] <chaddy> np
[06:33] <danieleboyo> cdubya, i know what legit stands for, does that mean i have to set up another suer account on my ubuntu for the windows machine?
[06:33] <Chaks> well, is there a ubuntu core iso for download?
[06:33] <`m0> PuGz: when I do ifconfig eth1 up, it says SIOCSIFFFLAGS: Permission denied
[06:33] <Chaks> any help regarding this?
[06:33] <Guest142>  only english here?
[06:33] <cdubya> danielboyo, yep
[06:33] <PuGz> `m0: did you use sudo?
[06:33] <PuGz> sudo ifconfig eth1 up
[06:33] <`m0> PuGz: when I do sudo ifconfig eth1 up, it says No such file or directory
[06:34] <danieleboyo> cdubya, aha!
[06:34] <cdubya> danielboyo, then get into a terminal and type the command smbpasswd -a user_you_just_created
[06:34] <PuGz> `m0: try: sudo /sbin/ifconfig eth1 up
[06:34] <snoops> Chaks that'd be ubuntu-desktop i386
[06:34] <Rookie-> `m0 - hows your etho then ?
[06:34] <Guest142> i have installed ubuntu ... but when i restart my computer no grub is coming but windows starts as normal
[06:34] <Rookie-> eth0
[06:34] <Chaks> snoops, thanks, is that just the core and X ?
[06:34] <Chaks> so that i can apt-get and install my stuffs?
[06:35] <PuGz> `m0: then do: sudo /sbin/iwlist eth1 scan
[06:35] <Chaks> and remaster?
[06:35] <`m0> PuGz: Same problem No such file or directory
[06:35] <cdubya> danielboyo, you should get asked then to type in a SMB password....type it in, then when it takes you back to the prompt, try to connect to the linux box again
[06:35] <Chaks> thats my plan
[06:35] <`m0> Rookie: what do  you mean
[06:35] <snoops> Chaks ah right.. no that includes gnome, with a base set of applications..
[06:35] <PuGz> `m0: try ifconfig -a... does that report that eth1 exists?
[06:35] <chaddy> Chaks: you would probably be better with Xubuntu or server if you are remastering
[06:35] <snoops> just like kubuntu includes kde and a base set of applications
[06:35] <`m0> PuGz: It only happens when I add "up"
[06:36] <`m0>  PuGz: sudo ifconfig eth1 works
[06:36] <Rookie-> try down first, then up
[06:36] <PuGz> Rookie-: good point!
[06:36] <snoops> the server version doesn't have any X, but that doesn't stop you from installing it
[06:36] <`m0> Rookie-: Down works...
[06:36] <`m0> Rookie-: up doesnt :)
[06:36] <PuGz> :)
[06:36] <abhinay> where the apt-get log will be stored ?
[06:36] <`m0> No such file or directory
[06:36] <PuGz> `m0: i got no idea
[06:37] <billybennett> Does anyone know why I suddently cannot burn any cd / dvd data discs?  I already had both k3b and Gnomebaker.. but neither one works
[06:37] <Rookie-> What happen if you just type ifconfig ?
[06:37] <Chaks> thanks chaddy, will check into server
[06:37] <chaddy> :-)
[06:37] <`m0> hmm
[06:37] <`m0> Rookie-: when I type ifconfig I see lo only
[06:37] <`m0> Rookie-: For loopback
[06:38] <chaddy> what about iwconfig?
[06:38] <sethk> `m0 try  ifconfig -a
[06:38] <Rookie-> oki, and what do you see if you type ifconfig eth0 ?
[06:38] <tyler_d> anyone know a macromedia flash alternative that works?
[06:38] <sethk> `m0, with the -a it will show unconfigured interfaces as well as configured interfaces
[06:38] <snoops> tyler_d to play or build?
[06:38] <waspius> anyone know how to setup auto run?
[06:38] <chaddy> tyler_d: wine windows_firefox.exe
[06:38] <tyler_d> snoops: just to view
[06:38] <billybennett> Can someone help me fix my cd/dvd drive please? :)
[06:38] <`m0> sethk: When I try iwconfig I see  I see lo eth0 sit0 and they say no wireless extensions, but I see eth1 where it says something
[06:39] <`m0> Rookie-: It shows me the eth0
[06:39] <sethk> m
[06:39] <danieleboyo> cdubya
[06:39] <itsdaveperdue> WOO!! Turion, boot with noapic nolapic
[06:39] <ookami> ahhh!i mucked up my xorg file copying over my old breezy xorg over to my dapper.... i thought i'd back up the xorg to a usb disk, but now i cant read that from a terminal.
[06:39] <Rookie-> oki - with ip and netmask ?
[06:39] <sethk> `m0, the sti0 is ipv6, so ignore that part
[06:39] <ProN00b> billybennett, rebooted already ?
[06:39] <ProN00b> billybennett, did any config changes since it doesn't work anymore ?
[06:39] <cdubya> danieleboyo, yes
[06:39] <sethk> `m0, looks like your wireless is eth1 then
[06:39] <Gorlist> hello
[06:39] <`m0> sethk: Yes my wireless is eth1
[06:39] <billybennett> ProN00b, yep multiple times... I cannot recall.  The only thing I can think of is installing vmware
[06:40] <`m0> sethk: I compared it with the macadress and it is correct
[06:40] <cdubya> itsdaveperdue, it work better?
[06:40] <Gorlist> Do I need to renstall Ubuntu if im changing hardware? (motherboard, processor)
[06:40] <itsdaveperdue> ookami: you can't read the usbstick from a terminal?
[06:40] <danieleboyo> cdubya, its not working. i typed the passsword and the username when i double clicked on the linux computer from my workgroup computers in windows and it didnt work
[06:40] <ProN00b> billybennett, is vmware running ?
[06:40] <Gorlist> or will it boot up fine?
[06:40] <billybennett> ProN00b, nope havent touched it since
[06:40] <ookami> itasda* no, i do: cd /media/usbdisk (ls) and nothing lists.
[06:40] <cdubya> danieleboyo, are you registered?
[06:40] <ProN00b> billybennett, maybe you should uninstall it, since i think it has background services
[06:40] <Pensacola> what's wrong with this line? the drive won't mount on bootup
[06:40] <itsdaveperdue> ookami: have you mounted it?
[06:40] <Pensacola> ./dev/sdc2	/media/Films	vfat	iocharset=utf8,umask=000	0	0
[06:40] <danieleboyo> cdubya, registered?
[06:41] <snoops> tyler_d there's gnash
[06:41] <ookami> itsdaveperdue, no i have not.
[06:41] <cdubya> danieleboyo, with freenode
[06:41] <itsdaveperdue> mount /dev/sda1     ,usually
[06:41] <Pensacola> without the . in front of course
[06:41] <itsdaveperdue> oh oh
[06:41] <snoops> but it's still very alpha.. so umm
[06:41] <itsdaveperdue> i'm sorry
[06:41] <`m0> sethk: What do I do now?
[06:41] <snoops> playing stuff could be quite difficult
[06:41] <ProN00b> billybennett, did you try booting from some other os/distro so you can make sure it isn't the fault of your drive ?
[06:41] <danieleboyo> cdubya, i dont think so...?
[06:41] <cdubya> danieleboyo, ok
[06:41] <danieleboyo> cdubya, how come?
[06:41] <cdubya> danieleboyo, I was going to have you PM me.....
[06:41] <itsdaveperdue> ookami:  make sure the is a folder named /mount/usbstick or whatever, then type:  mount /dev/sda1 /mount/usbstick
[06:41] <billybennett> ProN00b, I know the drive is reading correctly but anytime I make a cd/dvd before it even starts I get an input/output error
[06:41] <DanaG> Why does GCC not use both CPU cores when compiling?
[06:41] <itsdaveperdue> make sure you're root or use sudo
[06:42] <ookami> ah! i managed to recover it with a backup i found in the x11 folder ^_^ thanks to automatix.
[06:42] <Sapaki> hi
[06:42] <ProN00b> billybennett, wana paste that error ?
[06:42] <itsdaveperdue> heh, sweet, I'm a new guy
[06:42] <ookami> thanks itsdaveperdue, i'll take note of that command for future reference in case.
[06:42] <billybennett> ProN00b, sure.... let me make up a dvd real quick
[06:42] <cdubya> danieleboyo, ok, let's start from the beginning.....
[06:42] <Sapaki> I would like to know how I can make my ubuntu live cd detect my wireless adaptor
[06:43] <danieleboyo> sure, but i just IM'ed you
[06:43] <Jamminpotato> is there an official ubuntu live cd?  only saw gnoppix when i googled
[06:43] <cdubya> danieleboyo, didn't get it.....you're not registered
[06:43] <Salgat> yes
[06:43] <itsdaveperdue> ookami: when you're in X and gnome is running and such, there's an automount daemon that's running so you don't have to use that, but it's good to know how things are actually done.
[06:43] <danieleboyo> cdubya, ok, i see
[06:43] <itsdaveperdue> I'm out, peace.
[06:43] <`m0> sethk: Any ideas why I can't connect ?
[06:43] <danieleboyo> cdubya, ok, thanks alot, here we go
[06:43] <Jamminpotato> Salgat, where can i find it?
[06:43] <Salgat> http://www.ubuntu.com/download
[06:43] <Salgat> The normal CD also acts as a LiveCD
[06:44] <sethk> `m0, I didn't hear the entire conversation.  I'll look back a bit.
[06:44] <Jamminpotato> oh
[06:44] <cdubya> danieleboyo, /msg nickserv register <your-password>
[06:44] <Jamminpotato> dang
[06:44] <Jamminpotato> thanks
[06:44] <babo> What's the best online music directory where I can store my songs ? ... and stream them if I'd like ?
[06:44] <Salgat> so when your ready you just install
[06:44] <ookami> thank you.
[06:44] <`m0> is ESSID a number?
[06:44] <itsdaveperdue> m0: check your encryption, make sure you have the right libraries installed, also, Google and the forums are your friend.  Adios.
[06:44] <Gorlist> If I change my motherboard & processor will Ubuntu be able to boot up? or does it require a reinstall ?
[06:44] <babo> Oh, ya - it has to be free ... and allow me to burn cd's and upload them ...
[06:44] <`m0> in my router I see this:
[06:44] <`m0> SSID
[06:44] <`m0> 	Mansour
[06:44] <`m0> Channel
[06:44] <`m0> 	6
[06:44] <`m0> dsorry
[06:45] <Jamminpotato> Salgat, wasnt it seperate in 4.10
[06:45] <chaddy> Mansour, `m0
[06:45] <sethk> `m0, that looks normal.
[06:45] <sethk> `m0, possible a wep key or the other type of key?
[06:45] <cdubya> danieleboyo, you register yet?
[06:45] <danieleboyo> cdubya, yup!
[06:45] <cdubya> danieleboyo, k, hang on a sec
[06:45] <IceOwl> eek.
[06:45] <`m0> sethk: No, I removed WEP key, all I placed was mac address
[06:45] <IceOwl> that's a lot of people.
[06:45] <sethk> `m0, I'm thinking that maybe you need the key
[06:45] <`m0> seth: I filtered by mac address (when laptop was windows xp)
[06:46] <chaddy> lo IceOwl
[06:46] <IceOwl> hi
[06:46] <billybennett> ProN00b, http://pastebin.ca/136355
[06:46] <sethk> `m0, you connect in xp without a key, or with a key?
[06:46] <`m0> sethk: withougt
[06:46] <Salgat> When I installed the recent 6.06 I just downloaded and burned the ISO for Ubuntu and then it gave me the option to install in LiveCD
[06:46] <sethk> `m0, ok.   hmm....
[06:46] <`m0> sethk: In iwconfig, I see Access Point : Invalid
[06:47] <billybennett> ProN00b, I'm trying to backup OLD OLD stuff I had on cdr's
[06:47] <ProN00b> billybennett, "Incorrectly encoded string (3 Floppy (A).lnk) encountered."
[06:47] <ProN00b> thats the error
[06:47] <`m0> seth: Access Point: Invalid under eth1
[06:47] <ProN00b> deal with it ?
[06:47] <IceOwl> I'm wanting to try xubunut, but when I boot the CD, it doesn't get past "Mounting root filesystem" ..it just hangs there.
[06:47] <IceOwl> anyone have any idea what might cause that?
[06:48] <IceOwl> xubuntu, even :P
[06:48] <ProN00b> billybennett, see if you can turn joilet off
[06:48] <ProN00b> or rename the file that it mentions
[06:48] <sethk> `m0, but you are it isn't a key issue.
[06:48] <billybennett> ProN00b, okay
[06:48] <chaddy> IceOwl: how long are you leaving it? on old hardware it can take a long time
[06:48] <`m0> sethk: I am sure
[06:49] <IceOwl> chaddy: like, 10 mins or longer. This computer is only about three years old.
[06:49] <Hrughy> hi to all. Anyone have a wacom tablet running ok?
[06:49] <IceOwl> it shouldn't take that long
[06:49] <`m0> sethk: In my router, it says Security: Disabled
[06:49] <`m0> sethk: :)
[06:49] <sethk> `m0, ok.
[06:49] <chaddy> k, you could try the server ISO, IceOwl, then apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[06:50] <IceOwl> hmm..
[06:50] <ookami> how do i check if my nvidia drivers are installed?
[06:50] <sethk> IceOwl, you can try disabling dma for ide drives
[06:50] <chaddy> the server is not a live CD it's just a text based installer
[06:50] <Ng> ookami: glxinfo | grep vendor   - all three lines should say nvidia
[06:50] <gwilma> Anyone know how to force the removal of a package if dpkg gives an error message?
[06:50] <phargle> oh noes you can't actually install something without a graphical installer can you? (snicker)
[06:51] <Salgat> :O
[06:51] <chaddy> apt-get remove --purge package_name, gwilma
[06:51] <IceOwl> sethk: how do I do that?
[06:51] <`m0> sethk: Manybe my Wirless Channel doesn't match ?
[06:51] <sethk> IceOwl, read the help at the boot prompt
[06:51] <DanaG> aah, now I'm compiling with both cores.
[06:51] <sethk> `m0, that's conceivable, yes
[06:51] <tyler_d> got flash working just so the room knows :)
[06:52] <`m0> sethk: but where do I change the channel to be 6
[06:52] <IceOwl> ok :P
[06:52] <chaddy> how did you do it, tyler_d
[06:52] <DanaG> I had to do CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=4 (or 2) on the command line in front of make-kpkg.
[06:52] <Jamminpotato> who knows the easiest way to get all the data off of a hdd that is my windows patition, but wont boot. i need to copy the partition to an external hdd i have , whats the easiest way?
[06:52] <sethk> `m0, somewhere in iwconfig, try the iwconfig man page
[06:52] <gwilma> At the moment it's saying "dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-removal script: No such file or directory"
[06:52] <workin> I need some help really quick
[06:52] <DanaG> Either boot BartPE or move both drives to a different system.
[06:52] <tyler_d> changed the repository ubuntu 6.06 lts to have non free(multiverse) and community maintained checked......
[06:52] <Jamminpotato> DanaG, what is bartpe?
[06:53] <DanaG> It's like a Windows LiveCD.
[06:53] <tyler_d> chaddy: then ran apt get install flashplugin-nonfree
[06:53] <workin> It's just one simple question.. I doubt I'll need any more help
[06:53] <DanaG> However, I haven't made one before.
[06:53] <chaddy> tyler_d: you'll still have problems with flash 8 websites, but flash 9 is due out soon-ish
[06:53] <Salgat> Ask your question workin
[06:53] <Jamminpotato> DanaG, cause i tried using a gnoppix cd (im in it right now) but i cant get it to mount my drive because i cant edit fstab
[06:53] <tyler_d> chaddy: whats a good one so I can test... I checked a few that I know and it worked...
[06:54] <DanaG> you can mkdir something and then manually mount.
[06:54] <chaddy> couldn't say off the top of my head, tyler_d, you'll come across one soon enough... google hansofoundation in fact
[06:54] <DanaG> Is your external drive NTFS?
[06:54] <Jamminpotato> DanaG, to the best of my knoledge yes
[06:54] <workin> I'm am installing xubuntu on my laptop. I'm using the alternate CD. It's asking about "disk space to partition:" I know what that is but I don't know which one to choose.  "erase entire disk" "erase entire disk and use LVM" "manually edit partition table" I didn't have an OS when I installed this. I formatted my harddrive. It's all blank.
[06:54] <Jamminpotato> the win drive is fat 32
[06:55] <ookami> do i have to reboot completely for changes to the xorg to take place?
[06:55] <workin> I only want xubuntu on it.
[06:55] <sethk> workin, erase entire disk is a good option
[06:55] <Ng> workin: then "erase entire disk"
[06:55] <chaddy> workin: what sethk says
[06:55] <sethk> workin, lvm isn't necessary for a machine with only one drive
[06:55] <workin> alright... thank you. I wasn't sure. and no one is ever at the xubuntu chat.
[06:56] <sethk> it isn't necessary for a machine with more than one drive, necessarily, but it makes no sense on a box with one drive
[06:56] <Jamminpotato> DanaG, the live cd im on wont let me write to the external hdd, is that becasue its nfts
[06:56] <ookami> whaaa! beautiful ^_^ back into tri-monitor set up. ^_^
[06:56] <chaddy> Jamminpotato: good chance
[06:56] <Jamminpotato> damn
[06:56] <Intelligitimate> I got a question...are there are small, cheap computers running linux? You know, like those 5-10 dollar toys you see in gas stations and crap?
[06:56] <Hrughy> My wacom tablet "Graphire BT" works like a mouse, the cursor position don't coincide with the stylus position. I try to add "Absolute" in xorg.conf but don't work.
[06:56] <DanaG> Yeah, NTFS is not writable (at least not safely) under Linux.
[06:56] <phaedrus44> anyone tried out nUbuntu ?   its pretty cool..
[06:56] <gutterfix> hi guys, need some help
[06:56] <tyler_d> chaddy... they are all working
[06:56] <DanaG> You can use captive-ntfs to safely write, but it is damn slow.
[06:57] <chaddy> tyler_d: lucky you ;-)
[06:57] <tyler_d> :)
[06:57] <Jamminpotato> this hdd move would be easier if i had my extra system around
[06:57] <gutterfix> i'm trying to compile the rezlook-engine
[06:57] <Jamminpotato> =/
[06:57] <gutterfix> and i somehow got an error compiling libxml2
[06:57] <billybennett> ProN00b, thanks you have no idea how stupid I feel :)
[06:57] <chaddy> Jamminpotato: fat32 is more portable, for the future
[06:57] <ookami> bbl.
[06:57] <stray77> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009 for writing to ntfs partitions
[06:58] <ProN00b> well, at least it works, billybennett
[06:58] <GreatBriton> hi, i need help (running dapper on amd64), i'm following this howto: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=133427 to install xgl and compiz. i've got to part 4, but am now stuck
[06:58] <DanaG> Is it possible to move an NTFS partition?
[06:58] <rsk> GreatBriton: please stay in here, but also beware there is a channel called #ubuntu-xgl :)
[06:58] <GreatBriton> oh
[06:58] <GreatBriton> didn't know of that
[06:58] <DanaG> I want to move a partition by 1GB to the (right in gparted)
[06:58] <GreatBriton> rsk: thanks :D
[06:59] <tyler_d> DanaG: you can copy the information from it? is that what you mean?
[06:59] <GreatBriton> rsk: i'll try there
[06:59] <rsk> great
[06:59] <DanaG> No, I need to nondestructively move the beginning of the partition.
[06:59] <Jamminpotato> chaddy, DanaG, the partition im moving is fat32, but the drive i was going to move it to is ntfs =/
[06:59] <DanaG> Daaaang.
[06:59] <wonea> anyone have any ideas why keyboard access has a delay of 0.5 seconds between keys?
[06:59] <tyler_d> DanaG: are you running windows? on it?
[07:00] <DanaG> I have a partition I want to expand by 1 GB, but there's another partition in the way.
[07:00] <chaddy> Jamminpotato: is the ntfs partition blank?
[07:00] <tyler_d> DanaG: the only thing I know... extremely dirty is windows partition magic... but it fubars your tables
[07:00] <Jamminpotato> chaddy, yes
[07:00] <gutterfix> has anyone encountered this error before compiling libxml2?

[07:00] <`m0> how do I assign an address to an interface for my eth1
[07:01] <Wanderer> ati fglrx is a pain in the ass on my laptop
[07:01] <chaddy> qtparted and reformat to fat32 would be a good option, then, Jamminpotato
[07:01] <flasher> what syntax do i use to convert an .avi file to mpeg-4?
[07:01] <flasher> using mencoder?
[07:01] <DanaG> PartitionMagic refuses to touch my drive.
[07:01] <DanaG> It calls it "BAD"
[07:01] <lost> hi all
[07:01] <Jamminpotato> chaddy, when im done is linux able to format it back to an ntfs? im borrowing it
[07:01] <Wanderer> Danag: run badblocks on it?
[07:01] <DanaG> but it's obviously not, because Windows and Linux both see it just fine.
[07:01] <Jessehk> I just updated, I gnome-terminal doesn't start. I get an error that "vte_terminal_set_opacity" is an undefined symbol.
[07:01] <DanaG> In fact, I boot Vista from it.
[07:01] <tyler_d> DanaG: that may be b/c linux set it up... vista(pukes)
[07:01] <Jessehk> s/I/and
[07:02] <DanaG> I have XP, then Vista, then extended partition with Linux.
[07:02] <chaddy> Jamminpotato: you might want Hiren's boot disk to return it to ntfs
[07:02] <`m0> sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
[07:02] <Jamminpotato> =/

[07:02] <DanaG> How do I check?
[07:02] <chaddy> `m0: /etc/hosts add a line ipaddress hostname
[07:02] <DanaG> The thing is, PartitionMagic calls the whole DRIVE bad, not just any one partition.
[07:03] <Wanderer> Danag: run "badblocks" on the drive
[07:03] <`m0> chaddy: But i am using wireless
[07:03] <tyler_d> DanaG: thats b/c its windows...
[07:04] <nopcode> how do i upgrade from hoary to dapper so that it will actually boot?
[07:04] <nopcode> i've tried doing it two times using the howto
[07:04] <ziottt> did u never try to install ape plugin on k3b?
[07:04] <nopcode> but my server didnt boot afterwards
[07:04] <lost> could anyone here help me with a problem I'm having with ubuntu server?
[07:04] <tyler_d> wow
[07:04] <lost> I'm kind of new at this and don't know much what I'm doing..

[07:05] <trappist> lost: `sudo aptitude install fluxbox` will give you everything you need to run fluxbox
[07:06] <chaddy> then apt-get remove xfce
[07:06] <lost> alright thanks
[07:06] <lost> I did actually
[07:06] <lost> do some thing where I compiled it myself
[07:06] <lost> but I couldn't get it to work
[07:06] <trappist> whenever possible, your best bet is to stick with the package manager
[07:07] <`m0> where do I get the list of apt-get installs from the net
[07:07] <FlyingSquirrel31> ok, I just installed mysql-server from apt-get and when I go to set the admin password I get:mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed

[07:14] <FlyingSquirrel31> digitallotus: I'ts a brand new install... I even tried reinstalling...
[07:14] <simsalabim> Can someone explain to me why putting a symlink to / in /var/www lets apache browse the entire filesystem? Shouldnt that be blocked in the default setup?
[07:14] <`m0> chaddy: returned nothing
[07:14] <FlyingSquirrel31> digitallotus: could it be it's leaving behind a passwd file?
[07:14] <`m0> okay
[07:14] <fdsd> hi guys, How does ubuntu know the names I gave my external drives in Macosx?  when it mounts the hfs volumes it knows the name, how do I get this information via the command line?
[07:14] <`m0> I have Intel Corporation Movile 915 Graphics controller
[07:15] <digitallotus> FlyingSquirrel31, it's stored in a database, but that probably is left behind after an install
[07:15] <eigenlambda> lol

[07:15] <chaddy> `m0: lspci|grep graphic
[07:15] <kmasta> what do i set in the interface properties if i haveno wep key
[07:15] <eigenlambda> `m0: somebody should have spend the extra $25 for a decent mobile graphics solution
[07:15] <digitallotus> FlyingSquirrel31, looks to be stored in /var/lib/mysql... you could try removing that directory and re-initializing / reinstalling
[07:15] <kikkertje> how do you use static routing, and static dns? :s
[07:15] <FlyingSquirrel31> digitallotus: trying...
[07:15] <seikon> test
[07:16] <chaddy> if that doesn't throw useful info lspci|less
[07:16] <simsalabim> Rookie-: Does it matter? I mean i created the symlink as my "normal user".. doestn that mean that any regular user with access to /var/www can leave the server wide open?
[07:16] <simsalabim> Rookie-: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1 2006-08-17 18:40 /var/www/joomla/bim.html -> /
[07:17] <eigenlambda> simsalabim: if you make that symlink, it means you wanted apache to go there
[07:17] <Rookie-> yea ... full perm on the link ... the link is the dir ...
[07:17] <digitallotus> simsalabim, you can tell apache not to follow symlinks...
[07:17] <kmasta> what should i be setting in my wireless connection properties if i'm not using a wep key
[07:18] <simsalabim> Rookie-: the apache security section recommends putting Deny from all in the <Directory /> section.. I tried that but still it shows /
[07:18] <FlyingSquirrel31> digitallotus: you're awsome. How did you figure out where it was stored?
[07:18] <fdsd> hey guys, what application automounts usb/firewire drives when they are plugged into ubuntu?
[07:18] <digitallotus> FlyingSquirrel31, been working with this stuff a long time... new to ubuntu, but been using bsd / slackware / redhat for 10+ years
[07:18] <simsalabim> digitallotus: yes probably i can tell it not to follow symlinks in /var/www, but still shouldnt that be set per default?
[07:18] <Rookie-> special permission for apache is set by the file .htaccess
[07:19] <FlyingSquirrel31> digitallotus: well thanks a lot.
[07:19] <digitallotus> FlyingSquirrel31, no problem
[07:19] <Mistraal> how do you apply compiz themes?
[07:19] <digitallotus> simsalabim, not sure... some people might want that setting... i guess it's up to the package maintainer...
[07:20] <Rookie-> a user should never walk out from his homedirectory ...
[07:20] <syntaxx> can i possibly install my old ubuntu cd and then upgrade it to the latest version?
[07:20] <kikkertje> hi, can some explain how to setup static routing and static dns
[07:20] <nutshell42> 1. how do I enable lvm partitions in the installer? Or do I have to do that manually?
[07:20] <jrib> !upgrade > syntaxx
[07:20] <fdsd> hey guys, what application automounts usb/firewire drives when they are plugged into ubuntu?
[07:21] <simsalabim> digitallotus: well seems insecure to me (but maybe im not understanding it thoroughly).. i mean I want to allow some friends to builda website, and to upload files with scp to /var/www, but i dont want them to see the entire system...
[07:21] <Rookie-> kikkertje - man named9 for dns routing .... write it
[07:21] <`m0> hehe hibernate turned off my computer :D
[07:21] <nutshell42> 2. How do I change the filesystem of an existing partition on which I want to install ubuntu? It shows me the properties just fine but I don't see any way to change the filesystem or mount options
[07:21] <kikkertje> tnx Rookie-
[07:21] <nutshell42> 3. The installer dies while trying to fsck one of the windows partitions, how do I keep it from doing the fsck?
[07:22] <nutshell42> tia
[07:22] <digitallotus> simsalabim, the option you'd want is Option -FollowSymlinks, iirc
[07:22] <simsalabim> digitallotus: k
[07:22] <Kiran87> !upgrad
[07:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about upgrad - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:22] <Rookie-> if you want to have your own router ... you have to write the rules by your self ... you can also find progs on the net that can write it for you ... or atleast help you
[07:22] <Kiran87> !upgrade
[07:22] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade  Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades  Note: gksudo "update-manager -d" always updates to the latest development version.
[07:22] <vandit2k7> hi does anybody know how to change the resolution of the splash screen?
[07:22] <Rookie-> dns .... no good use for it unless you have a static ip out on the net
[07:22] <workin> are there any good games for (x)ubuntu?
[07:23] <simsalabim> digitallotus: i tried adding Deny from all to <Directory  /> in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default.. shouldnt that prevent apache from reading / entirely?
[07:23] <workin> or anything like solitaire?
[07:23] <Oferon> in what directory is sources.list?
[07:23] <workin> freecell?
[07:23] <simsalabim> Oferon: /etc/apt
[07:23] <chaddy> workin: apt-get install xmoto, should keep you busy for a while
[07:23] <jrib> workin: chromiom, neverball, torcs are nice imo
[07:23] <jrib> workin: chromium*
[07:24] <workin> so xubuntu comes with games already?
[07:24] <chaddy> or more generally apt-cache search game
[07:24] <digitallotus> simsalabim, from what you're seeing, i'm guessing it takes the symlink'ed path, as in <Directory /path/to/symlink/>
[07:24] <Oferon> thank you simsalabim. I'd like to get working repositories and source-o-matic just broke my original working ones.
[07:24] <digitallotus> simsalabim, but i agree, it does seem like that should work...
[07:24] <ebarber> bye
[07:25] <simsalabim> digitallotus: i think youre right as the url in the browser says http://<IP_ADDRESS>/joomla/bim.html/ (that is the symlink) when showing /
[07:25] <Rookie-> why even make a symlink for / ... ?
[07:25] <fabsoft> hi all, i have a question. i wanna recompile my ubuntu kernel with own patches, but i cannot find it in repository
[07:25] <digitallotus> Rookie-, because you can? :)
[07:26] <Oferon> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20900 help anyone. need working repositories. please.
[07:26] <Rookie-> ohh ... well, i got some news then ... in alinuxsystem you can do what ever you want .... question is only HOW it is done ;;)
[07:26] <fabsoft> linux-source has in description "kernel with patches" but i dont find misdn modules in tree ..
[07:27] <fabsoft> anyone know what source i have to download to have a image with all patches as linux-image ?
[07:27] <nutshell42> The installer dies while trying to fsck one of the windows partitions, how do I keep it from doing the fsck?
[07:28] <chaddy> nutshell42: try Hiren's boot disc, it has partition magic on it, set up your partitions then run the installer
[07:29] <fabsoft> nutshell42, try to kill fsck when it dies
[07:29] <chaddy> alternately reboot into windows and run scandisk
[07:29] <fabsoft> i guess it lock and no returns does ..
[07:29] <simsalabim> digitallotus: can you confirm this for me: the directives in the /etc/apache2/sites-available/default <VirtualHost *> section applies to the whole server? Or to the whole server minus whatever other virtualhost i have defined?
[07:29] <nutshell42> chaddy: thx, but that seems to to be an awfully complicated solution to something that seems to be an awfully simple problem (i.e. a minor partitioning option)
[07:30] <nutshell42> fabsoft: afaics it hangs in some script
[07:30] <chaddy> partitioning is *never* minor
[07:30] <nutshell42> erm, the option whether it should fsck all partitions or not is minor
[07:30] <digitallotus> simsalabim, hold up, let me get apache on this box and see how it's setup...
[07:31] <linux_user400354> i like ubuntu 5.10 better than 6.06
[07:31] <nutshell42> having a way to manage lvm partitions otoh would be a major improvement =)
[07:31] <DanaG> I still can't get DHCP client to work.
[07:31] <Oferon> can someone tell me where to find the original (the ones that come with fresh install) repositories?
[07:31] <simsalabim> digitallotus: ah, sorry, I didnt mean to get you into trouble :-)
[07:32] <digitallotus> simsalabim, nah, i've been meaning to put it on here anyway.... i'm just sure the config is a little different than redhat / slackware / etc...
[07:32] <nutshell42> chaddy: do kubuntu or xubuntu use the same install script/gparted?
[07:32] <Oferon> !repositories
[07:32] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[07:32] <MZM> DanaG: which client and how You know, that it fails?
[07:32] <Oferon> !easysource
[07:32] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[07:32] <linux_user400354> i like ubuntu 5.10 better than 6.06
[07:32] <RalleAb> hello! I have done everything in this tutorial: http://blog.publicidadpixelada.com/2006/07/30/how-to-dreamweaver-running-on-ubuntu-in-10-easy-steps/ but I am not able to do the "recode" thing..and I think thats why I cant import the macromedia.reg which makes me unable to use dreamweaver
[07:32] <simsalabim> digitallotus: it is.. it seems nicely organized..
[07:33] <chaddy> no idea, I have an ubuntu rescue disc that I use for partitioning, nutshell42
[07:33] <GreatBriton> hi, i need help (running dapper on amd64), i'm following this howto: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=133427 to install xgl and compiz. i've got to part 4, but am now stuck, i get the message "dpkg: operation requires read/write access to dpkg status area"
[07:33] <kblin> hi
[07:33] <linux_user400354> GreatBriton: are you using sudo?
[07:34] <simsalabim> digitallotus: fyi: "Be careful with the directory-path arguments: They have to literally match the filesystem path which Apache uses to access the files. Directives applied to a particular <Directory> will not apply to files accessed from that same directory via a different path, such as via different symbolic links."
[07:34] <GreatBriton> linux_user400354: i tried sudo, i get "dpkg: error processing compiz_cvs20060218+opacityplugin-1_amd64.deb (--install): cannot access archive: No such file or directory"

[07:35] <ciaran_> hi guys
[07:35] <niklas_e> is there any way to change the boot (grub), it now is on ata and ubuntu is on sata, but the bios has to be on ata cause it hasn't installed grub on the sata boot
[07:35] <linux_user400354> GreatBriton: you could try asking on the ubuntuforums i never installed xgl, so i dont know what the problem is
[07:36] <MZM> DanaG: can You describe Your problem?
[07:37] <dpupp> ok! i was installing automatix, and i modified my xorg.conf for multiple monitor support.... somehow i ended up breaking my net connection. im reinstalling ndiswrapper but when i say: "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" ir replies: FATAL: could not open /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/kernel/net/ndiswrapper.ko no such file or directory.  what to do? ... what to do? ...
[07:37] <cica> hi guys
[07:38] <linux_user400354> dpupp: try this   sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[07:38] <digitallotus> simsalabim, it looks like those settings are applied to the default / main site
[07:38] <cica> I'm tryin to run a make on a file I just downloaded and am about to install. I've checked and the makefile is present. But when I try to run make I get the following error: -bash: make: command not found. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
[07:38] <digitallotus> simsalabim, if you setup additional virtual hosts, their configuration is used instead of the default
[07:38] <dpupp> EEek! whole screen went black!
[07:39] <chaddy> cica: apt-get install build-essential
[07:39] <cica> chaddy: as root?
[07:39] <chaddy> yeah
[07:39] <Larsson-Sweden> How to hide the controls when using gmplayer?
[07:39] <Larsson-Sweden> When playing fullscreen
[07:39] <Jamminpotato> where is x11.conf?
[07:40] <linux_user400354> Larsson-Sweden: use full screen mode and they will hide
[07:40] <Larsson-Sweden> linux_user400354, no, its in the middle of the screen.
[07:40] <dpupp> linux_user400354, screen is black and im at a terminal
[07:40] <digitallotus> Jamminpotato, it's xorg.conf now
[07:40] <linux_user400354> /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:40] <linux_user400354> Jamminpotato: use your brain and search for it `locate xorg.conf`
[07:41] <linux_user400354> dpupp: whats the problem?
[07:41] <MZM> linux_user400354: that's rude. Ubuntu is for lames - so live with it
[07:41] <chaddy> linux_user400354: he's hardly going to find it if he has the wrong name for it
[07:41] <dpupp> i was trying to do modprobe ndiswrapper, but its giving an error... i did what you say about gdm stop... now im at a terminal
[07:42] <dpupp> it says it cant locate ndiswrapper.ko
[07:42] <linux_user400354> dpupp: sorry, i havent had to get a wireless card working since my laptop died. i was using software from www.linuxant.com back then when i needed to get my network adapter working.
[07:42] <simsalabim> digitallotus: i just took a trip to #apache.. that helped :-)
[07:43] <digitallotus> simsalabim, excellent
[07:43] <linux_user400354> dpupp: try reinstalling ndiswrapper
[07:43] <cica> chaddy: your a star! thanks
[07:43] <kashual> lol
[07:43] <chaddy> yw, cica
[07:43] <dpupp> im doing that... but i cant modprobe it... it keeps saying ndiswrapper.ko is not there.
[07:43] <cica> chaddy: yw ?
[07:44] <chaddy> you're welcome!
[07:44] <dpupp> i tried building the latest version but it says im missing some path to something...
[07:44] <cica> chaddy: new to this :-)
[07:44] <cica> chaddy: thanks again
[07:44] <tyler_d> how do I tell what my iPod is called so that I can manually unmount it???
[07:44] <linux_user400354> dpupp: thats why i hate compiling. software works fine when i use apt-get or synaptic, but when i start compiling, its hell
[07:45] <dpupp> can i just copy ndiswrapper.ko to the location its expecting to see it?
[07:45] <kashual> realplayer sucks
[07:45] <linux_user400354> kashual: use xmms
[07:45] <ballchalk> hello
[07:45] <ballchalk> how's everyone
[07:45] <dpupp> damn! realplayer still around? ... geez.
[07:45] <kashual> try to install but it's so stupid
[07:45] <xopher> Is it just me or is gnome-terminal broken atm? My gnome-terminal-data got upgraded and terminal removed.. Now I dont have a (virtual) terminal anymore :P
[07:45] <chaddy> lo ballchalk, fine and dandy
[07:45] <skroll> dpupp: actually yes.  And Real is about to release an open-source wmv player
[07:45] <ballchalk> hey
[07:45] <simsalabim> digitallotus: the reason why deny on <Directory /> doesnt work is that to the filesystem the symlink is the directory its linking to.. so <Directory /> will not match the symlink.. but you can use SymlinksIfOwnersMatch on /var/www to make apache only follow symlinks where the owner is the same as the owner of the file which is being pointed to
[07:45] <ballchalk> is it true linux is for idiot?
[07:46] <dpupp> hmm sounds interesting.
[07:46] <ballchalk> i was in #freebsd and they told me so
[07:46] <linux_user400354> dpupp: what irc client are you using?
[07:46] <chaddy> linux is for anyone, ballchalk
[07:46] <kashual> linux_user400354 shure better .... much better
[07:46] <simsalabim> digitallotus: i hope what i type makes sense :-)
[07:46] <ballchalk> why are the bsd community so fired up all the time i don't get it - i'm only using windows server 2003 looking to switch but was still trying to decide
[07:47] <linux_user400354> dpupp: are you in windows?
[07:48] <chaddy> ubuntu is a very good starting point, ballchalk, caters for all experience levels
[07:48] <ballchalk> yeap
[07:48] <grogoreo> hi
[07:48] <ballchalk> just installed it yesterday and spent 5 hours installing packages for it
[07:48] <grogoreo> is Hula a mail server as well as a web mail client?
[07:48] <gahan> how to enable system tray in gnome?
[07:48] <linux_user400354> wow bzip2 runs a lot faster when i am not using X
[07:48] <Oferon> argh.  T.T Can't fix em, can't find build-essentials.
[07:48] <erUSUL> gahan: right click in the panel and choose add to panel> notification area
[07:48] <ballchalk> well i have a thinkpad and looking for a platform that will support my devices
[07:48] <chaddy> Oferon: build-essential not essentials
[07:48] <Master_5> Oferon build-essential
[07:49] <ballchalk> i looked at the hcl and found other distros like redhat
[07:49] <gahan> erUSUL: thanks :)
[07:49] <MFen> anyone here on dell poweredge 2950 servers? or some recent vintage
[07:49] <dpupp> how do you delete a directory again?
[07:49] <simsalabim> digitallotus: anyway thanks for the help so far :-)
[07:49] <dpupp> in terminal
[07:49] <chaddy> rmdir dpupp
[07:49] <chaddy> I think
[07:49] <ballchalk> redhat will detect all my devices....can i use their drivers for kubuntu?
[07:49] <erUSUL> !commands > dpupp
[07:50] <Master_5> dpupp rm -rf directory_name
[07:50] <MFen> i had trouble with the megaraid card and the network chipset.  i found solutions to those, but right now the problem is i'm *real* fuzzy on what's required for the megaraid driver
[07:50] <MFen> i know i need to do a mkinitrd, but how?
[07:50] <linux_user400354> 72% cpu usage from bunzip2. is that a lot?
[07:50] <MFen> mkinitramfs doesn't really work when i'm booting from a rescue cd because the kernel doesn't match
[07:50] <MFen> maybe what i'm looking for is a simple howto on mkinitramfs, for the purpose of fixing this kind of problem (no driver for the primary hard drives)
[07:50] <erUSUL> MFen: with mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd-whateverkernel 2.6.xxx
[07:50] <Master_5> linux_user400354 compression programs use a lot of cpu because they are crunching numbers
[07:51] <dpupp> thanks
[07:51] <linux_user400354> Master_5: what do you mean by "crunching numbers"
[07:51] <MFen> erUSUL: that works even when you're running from rescue mode off the cd?
[07:51] <Master_5> linux_user400354 lots of hard arithmetic
[07:52] <linux_user400354> Master_5: do you know how huffmans code works?
[07:52] <erUSUL> MFen: you'd better do a chroot to the hd instalation
[07:52] <MFen> erUSUL: yeah, that's actually an option on the cd
[07:52] <MFen> but uname -a still doesn't match :)
[07:53] <linux_user400354> Master_5: hello
[07:53] <Master_5> linux_user400354: http://www.personal.kent.edu/~rmuhamma/Algorithms/MyAlgorithms/Greedy/huffman.htm
[07:53] <linux_user400354> Master_5: im not asking for a website. ive already studied it.
[07:53] <erUSUL> MFen: so? in the mkinitrd you give the version of the kernl you want your initrd. 'man mkinitrd'
[07:54] <MFen> mkinitrd doesn't exist
[07:54] <MFen> it's mkinitramfs now
[07:54] <MFen> i'm not sure if that's actually the same program or not
[07:54] <MFen> the one time i muddled through this, years ago, it was called mkinitrd
[07:56] <Master_5> linux_user400354: i was only answering your question about cpu usage, I'm sorry if I missed some sarcasm or something
[07:56] <prakash> hello
[07:56] <chaddy> linux_user400354: basic terms like "number crunching" you may find the wikipedia helpful
[07:57] <justin_> Whats a good Linux burning app, that I can burn VCD?
[07:57] <dpupp> how would i install kernel headers if i cant access the net via synaptic?? :( is there a specific name i can find it on the cd? ...
[07:57] <NickGarvey> dpupp does another computer have internet access?
[07:58] <chaddy> apt-cache search linux-header dpupp
[07:58] <dpupp> the one im using... notebook.
[07:58] <dpupp> im working on my desktop.
[07:58] <linux_user400354> okay im back
[07:58] <erUSUL> MFen: does not exist... good to know as i'm using it to install all my kernels maybe i'm a wizard without knowing it XD ... i can make death programs appear again ;)
[07:58] <NickGarvey> dpupp: download the .deb on your notebook and transfer it to your desktop
[07:58] <linux_user400354> Master_5: read about huffmans coding to get a good understanding of it. huffmans coding is an algorithm that uses a binary search tree.
[07:58] <Master_5> linux_user400354: i was only answering your question about cpu usage, I'm sorry if I missed some sarcasm or something
[07:59] <wheels3572> How do I get around the following Error Message
[07:59] <dpupp> rgr... is there only one header? i dont really know what im looking for.
[07:59] <wheels3572> Failed to run /usr/bin/update-manager
[07:59] <wheels3572> The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator.
[07:59] <Swedish_Chef> argh
[07:59] <Swedish_Chef> does apt log all the packages it installs?
[07:59] <chaddy> Swedish_Chef: dpkg -l for a full list of what's on there
[08:00] <Swedish_Chef> chaddy: the problem i'm having is that i want to downgrade some stuff from another repository, but i don't remember all the packages it upgraded
[08:00] <Swedish_Chef> i added the compiz.net and beerorkid.com repositories for compiz/xgl stuff, and today it updated fontconfig
[08:00] <chaddy> ah
[08:00] <Swedish_Chef> and now my fonts look a little uglier
[08:00] <Swedish_Chef> too bold
[08:00] <linux_user400354> 1049 packages come installed on Ubuntu 5.10
[08:00] <Swedish_Chef> i can't seem to fix it
[08:00] <dpupp> also, on a side note, i have a pent 4 notebook... i installed ubuntu 386... i was told it should be 686..... is that right?
[08:01] <NickGarvey> yeah, p4 = 686
[08:01] <chaddy> dpupp: you can upgrade the kernel in synaptic
[08:01] <Alecf> what architecture is the pentium 4's with ectended 64 technology
[08:01] <Swedish_Chef> i've downgraded libfontconfig1, libfontconfig1-dev, and fontconfig, as well as removed fontconfig-config
[08:01] <dpupp> ok.
[08:01] <Alecf> what architecture is the pentium 4's with extended 64 technology and ht
[08:02] <chaddy> Alecf: 686
[08:02] <Alecf> uh?
[08:02] <Alecf> i mean like x86 or IA64
[08:02] <dpupp> "cant find kernel build files" that means im missing headers? right? ...
[08:02] <Swedish_Chef> x86
[08:02] <Swedish_Chef> amd64, probably
[08:02] <cr3> what is the equivalent of iptables for 2.6 kernel?
[08:02] <Alecf> what?
[08:02] <Alecf> argh
[08:02] <NickGarvey> Swedish_Chef: I doubt a p4 would be a amd64
[08:02] <rsk> cr3: iptables
[08:02] <soundray> cr3: still iptables

[08:02] <soundray> Can
[08:03] <chaddy> Alecf: the x in x86 is a variable
[08:03] <linux_user400354> intelikey: email the developers. thats what i do sometimes when i have a problem with software.
[08:03] <Alecf> IA64 or x86 are my options
[08:03] <Swedish_Chef> Alecf: x86
[08:03] <Swedish_Chef> ia64 is itanium only
[08:03] <Alecf> ok
[08:03] <NickGarvey> yeah
[08:03] <Alecf> tr
[08:03] <Swedish_Chef> and very, very few people use that superexpensive chip

[08:03] <Alecf> thanks even

[08:04] <Swedish_Chef> okay well, is there a way to sync all packages to the official ubuntu versions?
[08:04] <NickGarvey> soundray: use a boot cd and chmod -x that script

[08:10] <smacky_> hello help lz
[08:11] <soundray> Masqy: you probably want to follow the instructions for the beta version, as it is much improved

[08:13] <Seldane> This is what it says on the website: STEP 3: Install
[08:13] <Seldane> Type "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8762-pkg1.run" to install the driver.
[08:13] <Seldane> I don't know where to type this. Any ideas?

[08:14] <basvg> hi all.. any xcompmgr guru's around? I just installed it and it seems to work just fine. transset also seems to work just fine.

[08:14] <fdsd> Seldane, open terminal, cd to the directory you saved NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8762-pkg1.run, and type chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8762-pkg1.run and ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8762-pkg1.run  you probably have to put sudo infront

[08:21] <YellowTeeth> Rug: are the ports closed or what
[08:21] <jrib> !avi > syntaxx
[08:21] <santa99> YellowTeeth, maybe the file transfer in linux is running over a server and in windows it is transfering direct

[08:25] <chaddy> what about lsusb, lspci and lshw, fdsd?

[08:27] <jrib> _kmh_: you want to reinstall grub right?
[08:27] <fdsd> soundray, not that i know of
[08:28] <_kmh_> jrib: yes
[08:29] <_kmh_> jrib : so i used the xubuntu boot cd
[08:29] <jrib> _kmh_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows are you following this?
[08:29] <chaddy> grub-install?
[08:29] <ruvia99> ola wapos
[08:29] <_kmh_> jrib : i'm not clear at which point to enter the resucue command, there 's no prompt appearing automatically
[08:29] <c0de_> Does anyone in here use xfce ?
[08:29] <_kmh_> jrib : yes the link you've posted earlier
[08:30] <mchawla_> Spec: IT says unknown device

[08:30] <Spec> mchawla_: is it a usb wifi card or what?
[08:30] <chaddy> ;-)
[08:30] <mchawla_> Spec: yes it is that one
[08:30] <Spec> lsusb
[08:31] <Spec> i don't know anything about usb wifi devices, sorry
[08:31] <jrib> _kmh_: you may want to follow "Using the LiveCD and Overwriting the Windows bootloader" section.  I'm not familiar with what exactly the xubuntu boot cd is, but if it is a live cd then those isntructions should work for you
[08:31] <mchawla_> Spec: Oh yes after doing lsusb, it detects the card as the one from BroadCom corporation
[08:32] <soundray> fdsd: hmount will tell you the "Volume name"
[08:32] <Spec> mchawla_: my only suggestion is to set the rate to 11M
[08:32] <Spec> mchawla_: iwconfig <devicename> rate 11M
[08:32] <mchawla_> it does all that
[08:32] <mchawla_> Eveything is there
[08:32] <CBMz> Hi, my friend is trying to run an ubuntu live cd. but he has problems.
[08:32] <Spec> where <devicename> is wlan0 or eth0 or something like that
[08:32] <santa99> he Spec, when i try to change them to defaults it says no files found
[08:32] <alienseer23> hello, I need to either change the permissions or the ownership of a folder owned by root, can someone help me, please?
[08:32] <Spec> santa99: ?
[08:32] <Spec> santa99: the scripts that are run on start up are really in /etc/init.d/
[08:32] <derekS> is anyone else here having a problem with lm-sensors? http://pastebin.ca/136483   <---- that is my error, please help :)
[08:32] <CBMz> he sees lines in blue, green and yellow]
[08:32] <mchawla_> Spec: The only problem is that it doesn't get assigned a DHCP Address
[08:33] <Spec> santa99: your default runlevel is 2, so the symlinks in /etc/rc2.d/* are called on boot
[08:33] <santa99> Spec, the are in /etc/rc2.d
[08:33] <fdsd> soundray, im trying to figure out how hmount works it says hmount /dev/hda :  Contains 1 HFS partition  hmount: /dev/hda: not a Macintosh HFS volume (Invalid Argument)
[08:33] <Spec> santa99: symlinks are in rc2.d, they point to the scripts in /etc/init.d/
[08:33] <santa99> Spec, so i removed them with update-rc.d scriptname remove
[08:33] <_kmh_> jrib : ic, i was trying the first approach though, xubuntu boot cd, is just the install cd (i assume it to be similar to ubuntu more or less, just a different window manager)
[08:33] <soundray> fdsd: probably hmount /dev/hda1
[08:33] <santa99> Spec, but after update-rc.d scriptname defaults it says
[08:34] <abhinay> is it possible to install Ubuntu-Dapper in text mode ?
[08:34] <mchawla_> I am having problems accessing wireless with my laptop. Everything is fine. The card is detected. Even the access point and hte network is detected. Just that it either doesn't get assigned an IP address by the DHCP server or if it is assigned(rarely), it still keeps dropping packets and all and hence I am not even able to ping any website
[08:34] <santa99> Spec, scriptname no files found
[08:34] <jrib> _kmh_: when you start the cd does it take you straight to a desktop?
[08:34] <fdsd> soundray, volume is smaller than 800k, hda3 is the volume
[08:34] <CBMz> could anyone help me?
[08:34] <xyr|x> hi all, somehow i just mess up my xorg.conf.. what is the dpkg command to reset my xorg back? thanx..

[08:34] <santa99> Spec, how could I rebuild this symlinks ?
[08:34] <fdsd> soundray, but that gives me the error hmount /dev/hda3 not a Macintosh HFS volume (Invalid argument)

[08:35] <alienseer23> warbo, so sudo chown (myname.mygroup.the file i want changed) will fix it?

[08:36] <harisund> hello everyone! Does anyone know how to stop the gnome-keyring-daemon from starting during Gnome boot? I have looked everywhere (/usr/share/gnome/default.session, /etc/X11/Xsession.options, /etc/xdg/autostart) but nowhere am I able to find what's responsible for autostarting the silly gnome-keyring-daemon
[08:36] <_kmh_> jrib : first there's a menu 1) start or install 2) start safe mode 3) check cd defects 4)memory test 5) boot from first harddisk   after that it takes me to the desktop (depending on the choice)
[08:36] <santa99> Spec, so i have to copy it back in /etc/init.d/ after removing it with update-rc.d scriptname remove
[08:37] <Red-Sox> yeah thanks Spec
[08:37] <godzirra> What do I need to install to get X working?
[08:37] <proselyte> im having trouble updating firefox...
[08:37] <godzirra> currently I ahve no X setup on my ubnutu box.
[08:37] <Spec> santa99: no, update-rc.d scriptname remove won't delete the script in /etc/init.d
[08:37] <harisund> matko did you figure out how to switch channels?
[08:37] <Warbo> godzirra: xserver-xorg
[08:37] <mchawla_> Hi, Did somebody face the problem of wireless card not accepting the Offer from the DHCP server? Everything is fine in my case. Only this thing is creating the problem. It keeps DHCPDISCOVER and all, but doesn't end up anywhere.
[08:37] <proselyte> first-- should i use swiftfox
[08:37] <Spec> santa99: it'll only delete the symlinks in /etc/rc#.d/
[08:37] <NickGarvey> mchawla_: I did, and now I use SuSe heh
[08:37] <harisund> Is there a Gnome only channel?
[08:37] <godzirra> Warbo: awesome, thank you.  What is the program I run to configure it after installing?
[08:37] <chaddy> godzirra: the smallest meta-package you can install for X is, I think, xubuntu-desktop
[08:37] <Spec> probably #gnome
[08:37] <fdsd> soundray, I can mount it fine using mount -t hfsplus /dev/hda3 /mnt/harddrive
[08:37] <Warbo> ##gnome
[08:37] <NickGarvey> harisund: probably #gonme
[08:37] <NickGarvey> gnome*
[08:38] <godzirra> or will apt-get automatically do it/
[08:38] <santa99> Spec, but the symlink in etc/rc2.d stays and the the symlink in /etc/init.d/ is gone
[08:38] <mchawla_> NickGarvey: So did Suse Work fine ?
[08:38] <NickGarvey> well #gnome forwards to ##gnome
[08:38] <mchawla_> I mean no problems at all ?
[08:38] <harisund> Ok ..
[08:38] <Warbo> godzirra: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" (it shoudl run anyway after being installed)
[08:38] <NickGarvey> mchawla_: yup, none at all
[08:38] <mchawla_> ah ok
[08:38] <santa99> Spec, so i have to copy the scriptname  in /etc/init.d/ and run update-rc.d scriptname defaults
[08:38] <Spec> santa99: the symlink in /etc/rc2.d should have been deleted and the script in /etc/init.d/ should have stayed
[08:38] <NickGarvey> mchawla_: but it worked for me, might not for you
[08:38] <Spec> santa99: yeap
[08:38] <jrib> _kmh_: I'm not sure hot to get you to the boot: prompt then so you can use the first method.  I'm fairly certain it refers to install-only cd's and not the live cd's
