[18:10] <pokethesmot> ..has there been any remedy to integral nvidia chips on 64bit machines that address having no visable mouse pointer?
[18:10] <xq> tux97: Where are you trying to browse it from? Are both PCs on the same router and connected currently (check the router...).
[18:10] <rinaldi_> Hi I changed the login screen earlier as I don't really like the mythbuntu one that installed over my default one a while ago. Now when I turn my computer on it can take up to 5-10 mins to get to the login screen. This happens with both my comps
[18:10] <tux97> everythings fine
[18:10] <ompaul> tux97, so when you say browser can you be more precise?
[18:10] <tux97> expect this ubuntu laptop
[18:10] <pokethesmot> ..has there been any remedy to integral nvidia chips on 64bit machines that address having no visable mouse pointer?
[18:11] <DOOM_NX> guys
[18:11] <tux97> ok when i click on my netweork it times out
[18:11] <xq> tux97: Then the networking is not setup properly on the Ubuntu Laptop. But where are you trying to browse from (again)?
[18:11] <meoblast001> prince_jammys: it says i can create and delete files but not read and write them
[18:11] <Nitroray> LjL: grub> root (hd0,0)
[18:11] <Nitroray> grub> setup (hd0)
[18:11] <Nitroray> Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
[18:11] <DOOM_NX> in terminal, how do i play dvd directory (VIDEO_TS) that's stored in the hard drive with mplayer?
[18:11] <ompaul> !nickspam > Wanderer
[18:11] <tux97> places then network
[18:11] <Fryguy--> pokethesmot: there are no issues that i'm aware of with what you are talking about.  Care to be a bit more specific, or link to the bugtracker to refer to the 'bug' you are talking about? and if not, post the bug to bugtracker so it can be taken care of if it is actually a bug
[18:11] <Fryguy--> DOOM_NX: wrong channel
[18:12] <DOOM_NX> lol ok
[18:12] <pokethesmot> Fryguy-- sure
[18:12] <meoblast001> prince_jammys: and ipods need to edit this one file constantly when adding or deleteing songs
[18:12] <DOOM_NX> what's the right one?
[18:12] <LjL> Nitroray, it's possibly not (hd0,0) then in your case
[18:12] <Fryguy--> #google, or #mplayer
[18:12] <Nitroray> LjL: What to do now ?
[18:12] <xq> tux97: Is the network configured right (just like the other computers, mainly)?
[18:12] <elm1> Nitoray : find root (hd0,
[18:12] <amenado> Nitroray-> before you issue  root (hd0,0)   try to  find /boot/grub/menu.lst  and lets see if it tells you anything
[18:12] <anton53> find this to fix grub  or lost grubs supergrubdisk_0.9677.iso
[18:12] <xq> tux97: Do the other PCs see the laptop and able to browse it?
[18:12] <lastelement0> hi all im running diablo II in windowed mode and whenever i click out of the window the game minimizes and when i maximize it again, the keyboard doesn't function
[18:12] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> how to set the requires for checkinstall?
[18:13] <branstrom> Can testdisk run on a disk image?
[18:13] <Fryguy--> lastelement0: wrong channel, join wine's channel and ask about it there
[18:13] <LjL> Nitroray: well try « find /boot/grub/stage1 »
[18:13] <xq> tux97: Perhaps the other PCs are not configured correctly to allow the laptop to browse them remotely (permissions)? There could be a few factors at play. I would check all of this out.
[18:13] <prince_jammys> meoblast001: what's the output of:  ls -ld  /media/disk    (or whatever the mount point is)
[18:13] <tux97> well i installed ndiswrapper for my wifi driver and probally that has something to do with it i guess
[18:13] <LjL> branstrom: don't see why not
[18:13] <lastelement0> Fryguy--: i did but no one is active in there
[18:13] <tux97> my laptop works fine with vista
[18:13] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> when i run checkinstall the requires listed is not right but i couldn't change it
[18:13] <branstrom> LjL: do you know how I make it act on an image, maybe? I can't see how
[18:13] <Fryguy--> lastelement0: so you just started joining other channels and asking offtopic questions there?
[18:13] <meoblast001> prince_jammys: dr-xr-x--- 3 braden braden 4096 1969-12-31 19:00 /media/disk
[18:14] <lastelement0> Fryguy--: its not offtopic if it is an issue running something in UBUNTU
[18:14] <Nitroray> amenado: cannot find: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[18:14] <tux97> it just has to be my wifi
[18:14] <Fryguy--> lastelement0: your issue has nothing to do with ubuntu
[18:14] <PMantis> I want to create a DEB package of 3-4 files, but all the howto's talk about tarred up source code, compiling, etc. Where's a *simple* howto for my needs?
[18:14] <xq> tux97: I doubt it hehe
[18:14] <xq> tux97: Not if WiFi is working
[18:14] <prince_jammys> meoblast001: what is the output of:  grep media/disk /etc/fstab
[18:14] <amenado> Nitroray-> what about those other  find  xxxx  that others suggested? you get any feedback?
[18:14] <lastelement0> Fryguy--: would you like to enlighten me with the issue instead of being condescending?
[18:14] <Fryguy--> PMantis: what do you want to create a .deb file for
[18:14] <LjL> branstrom: uhm you're right it's kind of stubborn about using a real disk
[18:15] <xq> tux97: Double check the networking configuration and permissions on the other PCs
[18:15] <tux97> well it works fine with wifi on vista but not on here
[18:15] <branstrom> LjL: yeah... :/
[18:15] <Fryguy--> lastelement0: your issue is with wine, not ubuntu
[18:15] <meoblast001> prince_jammys: nothing
[18:15] <Nitroray> amenado: What do you mean?
[18:15] <xq> tux97: Perhaps plug it in via ethernet and see if it is still an issue?
[18:15] <tux97> everything is fine xq
[18:15] <LjL> branstrom: could try loopmounting perhaps
[18:15] <amenado> Nitroray-> others have suggested find xxx  where xxxx is something  scroll back up..
[18:15] <tux97> ok i was going to do that if it works then its the wifi
[18:15] <prince_jammys> meoblast001: i'm stuck.  it's mounted on /media/disk, right?
[18:15] <xq> tux97: Correct ;-)
[18:16] <meoblast001> i think
[18:16] <LjL> branstrom: that's if it looks at which drives are mounted... but then again it shouldn't do that
[18:16] <branstrom> LjL: to trick it into believing it's a real disk? How do I do that?
[18:16] <lastelement0> fryguy--: well im sure im not the only one is this chat that uses wine so this seems like a logical place to go if the wine room has no one active
[18:16] <meoblast001> wth
[18:16] <meoblast001> it remounted it to /media/1
[18:16] <anton53> tux97: also make sure you have shares orshared files setup on other computers
[18:16] <PMantis> Fryguy--: To distribute a handful of scripts to my clients' servers with the ability to update them with apt when I update the scripts.
[18:16] <Nitroray> LjL: You have suggested to find: /boot/grub/stage1 but its not find-able
[18:16] <LjL> !mountiso > branstrom    (branstrom, see the private message from Ubotu)   like this, but to be honest i doubt it would work
[18:16] <rinaldi_> Hi I changed the login screen earlier as I don't really like the mythbuntu one that installed over my default one a while ago. Now when I turn my computer on it can take up to 5-10 mins to load the login screen. Just sits there with a spinning loading pointer. This happens with both my comps I've tried.
[18:16] <prince_jammys> !ipod
[18:16] <ubotu> For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod
[18:16] <Fryguy--> lastelement0: you probably are one of the only people in this channel that use wine, and you are almost certainly the only person in this channel who runs diablo in wine AND has this issue.  Go ask your question in a more appropriate location. thank you.
[18:16] <xq> LjL: Doubt that will work
[18:16] <branstrom> LjL: hm :/ Thanks anyways...
[18:17] <bazhang> lastelement0: you should check the appdb really
[18:17] <PMantis> Fryguy--: I hate having to scp the scripts to each server when I update them, and have to remember which one I udated, etc.
[18:17] <meoblast001> prince_jammys: so for the ls-ld /media/1 it returned "drwx------ 4 braden root 4096 2008-03-16 14:11 /media/1"
[18:17] <WildChild7> will ubuntu automatically recognize RAM if I put it in my computer ?
[18:17] <Fryguy--> WildChild7: yes
[18:17] <amenado> Nitroray-> that indicates those required files are not in the area where they normally should be,  so youmay have to re-install or find them on your hd and put them there
[18:17] <WildChild7> Fryguy--: kewl
[18:17] <LjL> branstrom, xq: then again, even uglier, you could try hardlinking your image into /dev/hdsomething - since when dumping the testdisk binary, i see there are hardcoded references to /dev/hd*
[18:17] <MakotoTheKnight> Here's a strange problem:  After about 25-30 minutes of running, my laptop will hard lock.  Temperatures were at about 55-57C when this happened, and it's gone a lot higher before. Anyone got any tips?
[18:18] <Nitroray> amenado:  Is there a command in terminal so i ca re-install grub ?
[18:18] <myusername> does anybody know when dreamlinux 3 is supposed to be out? there currently still in rc3
[18:18] <lastelement0> bazhang: its not an issue with the game not running. it runs its a matter of running in windowed mode then clicking out of screen
[18:18] <Fryguy--> Nitroray: i already linked you to information about how to do that
[18:18] <branstrom> PMantis: you could use Git to distribute scripts or whatever, like that, it's very smooth
[18:18] <Nitroray> Fryguy--: Yes, but it gave an eroor
[18:18] <prince_jammys> meoblast001: i don't know. initially i thought you were just mounting a normal drive. i don't know what the story is with ipods. i didn't think you'd have to configure anything
[18:18] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> lastelement0, wine is not supported in this channel
[18:19] <amenado> Nitroray-> yes   grub-install --root-directory=/boot  /dev/sdaX   assuming /dev/sdaX is where your vmlinuz and initrd-img are
[18:19] <branstrom> LjL: thanks - I'll try that in a while...
[18:19] <meoblast001> prince_jammys: well i just need the device to have permission to write to files now, it can already create and delete them
[18:19] <Fryguy--> Nitroray: so then fix the error. the tutorial is right, you just have a different hardware setup than it is expecting.  asking somebody else to help you reinstall grub isn't going to get you a different answer, you'll have to figure out how grub is expecting to address your hard drive (since you apparently have more than one)
[18:19] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> lastelement0, ur problem is either with wine or the game, and neither or them are supported here
[18:19] <bazhang> lastelement0: well the #winehq is expert at that; you can hang around here and hope that someone else has the precise issue if you wish
[18:19] <LjL> !info gpart | branstrom, or you could investigate this alternative
[18:19] <ubotu> branstrom, or you could investigate this alternative: gpart (source: gpart): Guess PC disk partition table, find lost partitions. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1h-4.1 (gutsy), package size 35 kB, installed size 112 kB
[18:19] <prince_jammys> meoblast001: creating a deleting is writing.
[18:19] <prince_jammys> meoblast001: if you can create and delete, you can write
[18:20] <LjL> Nitroray: do you know what your disk is usually called, like /dev/hda?
[18:20] <PMantis> branstrom: Thanks, but I think I'd rather use a system that's already there, looking for updates: apt
[18:20] <branstrom> LjL: wow, thanks... I had thought testdisk was my only hope
[18:20] <Fireball> how do I install resolvconf on an ubuntu 6 LTS ?
[18:20] <meoblast001> prince_jammys: i just created a file a while ago, but it complains it cant change some funky iTunes control file
[18:20] <lastelement0> bazhang: hang around for no one to answer...been there done that
[18:20] <Fireball> "apt-get install resolvconf" says  "Package resolvconf has no isntallation candidate"
[18:20] <amenado> Fryguy---> i know you meant well, sometimes in the frantic search of clarifications users do get confused, a lil more guiding i think would help..like how to determine the name of their partitions..you know what i meant..
[18:20] <branstrom> PMantis: with Git you can easily keep track of differences too
[18:21] <Fryguy--> Fireball: resolv.conf is a file located in /etc that contains dns information, what exactly are you talking about
[18:21] <brobostigon> Fireball: resolv.conf is a file in /etc
[18:21] <Fireball> it seems to not be installed in an ubuntu 6 lts default install
[18:21] <bazhang> lastelement0: well no real other suggestions; I dont use wine or diablo so that is my best sorry not help out
[18:21] <Fryguy--> Fireball: it is
[18:21] <Flannel> Fireball: no e.  resolvconf
[18:21] <branstrom> I've been toying with the idea myself, that's why I suggested it, but you're free to use apt if you want
[18:21] <brobostigon> Fireball: /etc/resolv.conf
[18:22] <Flannel> Fireball: oh.  You did that.  You need to enable universe.
[18:22] <branstrom> you have free will and all that :)
[18:22] <PMantis> branstrom: But it's another tool I'd have to run to check for updates on each server I'm maintaining for clients. If I use a deb package, then the updates for my script would show up automatically in the apt updates lists that I'm already reporting on.
[18:22] <unstable> I have two printer jobs I accidentally sent to the wrong printer, and I can't get these documents again.
[18:23] <Fireball> hm, yes
[18:23] <Fireball> /etc/resolv.conf exists, but is empty
[18:23] <branstrom> Yeah and if you don't need to keep track of possible local differences, if they're all just the same all the time, then that's probably the way to go...
[18:23] <unstable> they're in my print queue, since this printer isn't on the network, how can I redirect these jobs somewhere else?
[18:23] <meoblast001> prince_jammys: i think i got it to work!!!!!
[18:23] <Fireball> anyway, my problem is that DNS is not working, but server itself is pingable, remotely-accessible, etc
[18:23] <Fryguy--> Fireball: then configuring your network failed, just put 1 or 2 dns servers in there, 1 per line
[18:23] <prince_jammys> meoblast001: cool.
[18:23] <PMantis> branstrom: Although it may come in handy for another project in the future.
[18:24] <Fireball> Fryguy-- - will try, thank you
[18:24] <Fryguy--> man i have spent way too much time in here over the past day or so :(  i really should go and get some meaningful work done :(
[18:24] <constrictor> how do i get tracker to index thunderbird mail? the option is greyed out in indexing preferences
[18:25] <Fireball> Fryguy-- - fantastic, works
[18:25] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> ls
[18:25] <meoblast001> prince_jammys: i had /media/iPod in the fstab but i didnt have a folder /media/iPod on my filesystemm
[18:25] <Fryguy--> i've always wondered why it's resolv.conf and not resolve.conf
[18:25] <prince_jammys> meoblast001: ah
[18:26] <Doonz> YAY ME!!!
[18:26]  * Doonz is a linux noobie

[18:26] <Fireball> thanks
[18:27] <rsk> Doonz: firefox gimp etc etc
[18:28] <brobostigon> rsk: how is firefox ment to print cd labels??
[18:28] <rsk> brobostigon: ctrl+p :)?
[18:28] <Doonz> yeah kinda confused
[18:28] <legend2440> Doonz: glabels in synaptic is pretty good

[18:29] <nagyv> hi! could someone help me to set up my microphone? I have a webcam with a built-in mic that is connected on USB, plus I have a "normal" microphone input where I can plug in a classic headset.

[18:29] <nixnoob> anyone know if nvidia fixed the hdmi audio problem in their latest driver?
[18:30] <nagyv> And the mute icons are different for the two mics. Both have the usual muth the speaker icon, but only the webcam has a microphone icon as well.
[18:30] <jin> I have some fonts , ,ttf files, how do I install them?
[18:30] <prince_jammys> !fonts | jin
[18:30] <ubotu> jin: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[18:30] <branstrom> jin: copy to ~/.fonts/
[18:31] <sFEARs> !clone
[18:31] <ubotu> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate

[18:35] <BulgTech> hello
[18:35] <menllyos> anyone know of a program that can be used to securely wipe a hdd ?
[18:36] <BulgTech> I'm trying to configure a bcom wireless card under edgy 6.10
[18:36] <legend2440> menllyos: wipe
[18:36] <BulgTech> I've installed ndiswrapper and the card is running
[18:36] <bitosh> Pgpwipe
[18:36] <bitosh> gpgwipe?
[18:36] <BulgTech> but there is no automatic network search, it seems like I need to do it all manually using iwlist, iwconfig, etc.
[18:36] <Flannel> menllyos: shred (its already installed)
[18:37] <menllyos> ok thanks for the suggestions
[18:37] <TimeFX> I ve been trying for the last two days to get Ubuntu to work with my VPN connection to the internet, I normally use it on Windows XP by having an initial connection which is to my ISPs network and I have to input a static IP, netmask, and gateway and then I setup a VPN connection over PPTP to the VPN server but I cant get any of the VPN clients to work in Ubuntu if I use NetworkManager to setup the initial IP for the basic connection to the ISP, what am I
[18:37] <gtt> how do i enable X11 forwarding to be default so I can just type 'ssh username@place'
[18:38] <shea|up> well that's what i get from switching my actiontec to a linksys. :|
[18:38] <shea|up> good thing that happened
[18:38] <Sinnerman> how do i get ntfs support for parted/gparted? i want it to be able to create a ntfs filesystem on one of my devices.
[18:38] <brobostigon> gtt: so you would notmall type, ssh -X "IP"
[18:39] <Sinnerman> if i remember correctly, the gparted on the livecd has that support, but when installed on a hard disk, does not.
[18:39] <gtt> brobostigon: yeah, i have to use the -X now, but i was wanting to make -X "default".. is there a way to do that, and if so, how?
[18:39] <erUSUL> Sinnerman: probably you need to install ntfsprogs
[18:39] <brobostigon> gtt: i dont think that possible, you will still hve to, ssh -X IP
[18:39] <moop> anyone happen to be an expert at running steam/source with wine?
[18:39] <billeniu1> hey
[18:40] <soldats> gtt: if you only use ssh with x forwarding you can make an alias in basrc so everytime you type ssh it actually does ssh -X
[18:40] <billeniu1> How do i change the splash screen?
[18:40] <erUSUL> !splash
[18:40] <ubotu> To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor.
[18:40] <gtt> soldats: hey, thanks, there's at least one solution I hadn't considered.
[18:40] <billeniu1> !gnome-splashscreen-manager
[18:40] <Fryguy--> Sinnerman: gparted is for creating partitions, not filesystems
[18:40] <aredhel> gtt, edit ~/.ssh/config
[18:41] <BulgTech> I'm trying to get a wireless connection running in 6.10, but scanning doesn't seem to work
[18:41] <Sinnerman> Fryguy--: fair enough, but it does offer a frontend for such, doesnt it?
[18:41] <Sinnerman> erUSUL: yeah i think that was it, thanks.
[18:41] <erUSUL> Sinnerman: no problem
[18:41] <Fryguy--> Sinnerman: I dunno, i only use tools for what they are designed to do
[18:42] <gtt> aredhel: i saw some options in there, but when i uncommented them, it didn't seem to help.. since that's for the client, i shouldn't have to reload anything, right?
[18:42] <jay__> i have a toshiba satellite with ubuntu 7.10 i cant get a wireless connection setup
[18:42] <soldats> the options in the ssh config are for the forwarding of X not to make it do what you want gtt
[18:43] <billy___> hello
[18:43] <gtt> ok.. so what do i put in ssh config to enable X11 forwarding as default?
[18:43] <gtt> or got a link to the manual?
[18:43] <soldats> gtt: id suggest making an alias in .bashrc for ssh to be ssh -X, and in the config file you should uncomment the X11Forewarding yes
[18:43] <brobostigon> gtt: man ssh
[18:44] <aredhel> gtt,  you need to set ForwardX11 and ForwardX11Trusted, I think, read "man ssh_config"
[18:44] <ps3> hi
[18:44] <ps3> how can i disable preload in kubuntu ?
[18:44] <billy___> im running ubuntu 7.10 64bit from a livecd. I need to install the firmware for bcm4311, i used ndiswrapper but when i do dmesg in terminal i get a bunch of errors saying that the bcm43xx_microcode5.fw file is missing
[18:44] <billy___> what do i do?
[18:45] <Quicksilva> can someone tell me how to check in terminal what my current monitor refresh rate is
[18:45] <gtt> aredhel: editing ssh config helped the way i wanted it to
[18:45] <gtt> thanks :)
[18:45] <billy___> anyone?
[18:46] <jin> Can you hide the System tab on the top of teh screen?
[18:46] <soldats> Quicksilva: is it a desktop
[18:46] <Quicksilva> soldats, yes
[18:46] <gtt> i'd forgot to change "no" to "yes" after uncommenting the line.
[18:47] <jin> any one knows what file manager this guy is using? http://www.gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/74553-1.jpg
[18:47] <soldats> Quicksilva: do you have some buttons on the monitor to adjust screen size and what not. if so most times theres a button to show the options for your onitor which shows you the refresh rates
[18:47] <billeniu1> How do i open gnome splash screen manager?
[18:47] <moop> When I right click on Steam.exe and hit "Run with Windows Emulator" I get an error saying "Steam.exe (main exception): Cannot open blob archive file: CMultiFieldBlob(mem-mapped file): Failed to open file".
[18:47] <Quicksilva> ahhh yeah soldats showing 75hz on there :P
[18:48] <soldats> cool
[18:48] <moop> How might I go about getting around this/fixing this?

[18:50] <StevenX> Hello all. I have a HP Pavilion Laptop dv6780se. I tried the livecd of Unix to see if I would run into any problems, and I can't seem to get the sound to work. Is this due to the fact that I'm using a liveCD? Will this be fixed if I install to HDD. Here is the link to the laptop's specs. I don't see what kind of sound card it uses. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01296383&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3647006&dlc=en

[18:50] <Flare183> billy___: you mean for the a broadcom wireless card?
[18:51] <ge> T0paz: i mainly use the shell, not very fond with gnome. is there a shell command?
[18:51] <billy___> flare:yea...
[18:51] <Flare183> billy___: one sec I'll give you the link fo rit

[18:52] <ubotu> billy___: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx
[18:52] <Flare183> billy___: yeah I know i had the same problem
[18:52] <ge> T0paz: the system->about ubuntu thing started some application called "yelp", it says "welcome to ubuntu" and stuff, but not which version im using.
[18:52] <billy___> erUSUL: ive read that thing millions of times.. no help
[18:52] <billy___> Flare: did you ever get it to work?
[18:52] <Flare183> yes
[18:52] <billy___> Flare: what did you use?
[18:53] <billy___> flare: u runnin 64bit?
[18:53] <Flare183> billy___: http://www.mediafire.com/?dwwjnmo2w2t
[18:53] <T0paz> ge, hmm, /etc/debian_version is probably informative, but i'm not sure what translates to what
[18:53] <Flare183> billy___: no 32-bit
[18:53] <billy___> flare: i think there's issues with 64 bit
[18:53] <Flare183> billy___: but you can still get it work if you have 64-bit
[18:53] <Flare183> billy___: i don't know
[18:53] <ge> T0paz: hmm.. it says "testing/unstable".
[18:53] <billy___> flare: yeah, i hope so.. i had it working for a while but then it stopped working out of nowhere..
[18:54] <T0paz> mine says lenny/sid, and i'm running hardy alpha, heh
[18:54] <Flare183> billy___: yeah I understand

[18:54] <jin> Krusader
[18:54] <jin> how do you change the default ubuntu icon of the application menu on the top of the screen?
[18:55] <ge> jin: i thing "right-click" and then choose a symbol.
[18:55] <Cpudan80> no that icon is a pain to change
[18:55] <Cpudan80> it's not simple
[18:56] <jin> Cpudan80: do you know how?
[18:56] <ge> T0paz: `cat /etc/lsb-release` seems to be it!
[18:56] <T0paz> aha
[18:56] <jin> I know it is some file I have to replace, but dunno what file
[18:56] <T0paz> ah yes
[18:56] <nagyv> !ppa
[18:56] <ubotu> With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart.
[18:56] <Lagg> IIRC you have to find a file an replace it with the image you want.
[18:56] <Cpudan80> jin: Yeah it's some file you have to replace in /usr/share/pixmaps/gnome I think
[18:57] <ge> jin: right clicking the symbol does not bring up a dialog?
[18:57] <jin> ge, yea, but no option for changing the icon
[18:57] <shadowhywind> minimec: you still around?
[18:58] <minimec> shadowhywind: yep
[18:58] <ge> jin: which ubuntu version?
[18:58] <jin> found it. it is /usr/share/icons/Human/24x24/places/distributor-logo.png
[18:58] <jin> 7.10
[18:58] <Lagg> that sounds about like it
[18:58] <aredhel> gtt, A Final word about ForwardX11, it does more or less let who ever has root on the remote box, have full control of your local computer, so it's better to enable it on a per host basis.
[18:58] <shadowhywind> minimec: I pulled out a copy of feisty that i have installed on a removeable hdd. My mouse works... hehe
[18:59] <StevenX> can anyone help me with my q?
[18:59] <minimec> shadowhywind: ok ;) Have a look at that imwheel software. Very nice...
[18:59] <shadowhywind> know of any good config sites, to help configure imwheel?
[18:59] <mikebot> Slart: Hey, are you here?
[19:00] <Leetbumble> whats the issue StevenX?
[19:00] <Lagg> I think it's sound with the LiveCD
[19:00] <Thutti> Hello, I need some help; My Internal Speakers are not muted when headphones or external speakers are plugged in. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
[19:01] <StevenX> Leetbumble: I have a HP Pavilion Laptop dv6780se. I tried the livecd of Unix to see if I would run into any problems, and I can't seem to get the sound to work.

[19:01] <shadowhywind> Thutti: hp laptop?
[19:01] <StevenX> lagg: yes, you are correct
[19:01] <minimec> shadowhywind: It is quiet easy.. Set a general rool for the buttons at the end! of the file. Then configure the different application. Sound apps normally use the same shortcuts...
[19:01] <StevenX> I want to install ubuntu on the HDD, but I'd like to make sure that my sound works in ubuntu before I do that.
[19:01] <Thutti> shadowhywind:No, a MSI VR201
[19:02] <mikebot> Does anyone here know anything about LaTeX?
[19:02] <shadowhywind> StevenX: I have an hp6000 and the sound works fine
[19:02] <nikrud> StevenX: in apps->accessories->terminal, type  lsci. That will list some hardware, one of which is your sound chip. What is it?
[19:02] <Thutti> shadowhywind:It is a common problem for that laptop.
[19:02] <bazhang> lspci
[19:03] <shadowhywind> Thutti it was a while a go, but the recent alsa versions have been great
[19:03] <nikrud> StevenX: yeah, lspci a typo (thanks bazhang )
[19:03] <minimec> shadowhywind: I configured my mouse with mouse focus... scroll on a multimedia = volume +/-; tilt on multimedia next/before ...
[19:03] <bazhang> haha
[19:03] <crashhandler> how to automount my ntfs partition on startup?i run xubuntu.
[19:03] <shadowhywind> minimec: imwheel seems like it only configures the mouse wheel, will it do the side buttons as well?
[19:04] <minimec> shadowhywind: yes it will...
[19:04] <Lagg> crashhandler:  10000ft answer, you'll want to look at editing your fstab.
[19:04] <Thutti> shadowhywind:I have a fresh installed ubuntu, and I have Alsa. But I like to know what the newest version is.
[19:05] <shadowhywind> Thutti looks like it is 1.0.16

[19:07] <dvoid> my system sems to be random locking when i click, i think it has something to do with io, interrupts  i have tried noapic nolapic  etc it does not help, still locks sometimes
[19:07] <shadowhywind> minimec i don't think imwheel is going to fix my issue, since xev isn't reconginzeing that a button was pressed
[19:07] <dvoid> anybody got any more ideas what i can try?
[19:07] <shadowhywind> dvoid does it seam to happen after letting the comp idle for a few minus
[19:07] <shadowhywind> mins
[19:08] <dvoid> shadowhywind, hum dont know actualy   its hard to see any pattern
[19:08] <minimec> shadowhywind: again... switch to the evdev driver. You will love it!
[19:08] <shadowhywind> minimec i did switch to the evdev and xev didn't see it
[19:08] <dvoid> shadowhywind, it does not hapen very often, last time i had 5h uptime and then i clicked on a link in opera and the system totaly frozed
[19:09] <shadowhywind> dvoid try irqfixup and see if that helps. That seamed to fix some of my lockups
[19:09] <roma> привет
[19:09] <dvoid> shadowhywind, hum what does that do?
[19:09] <Thutti> shadowhywind: It is HDA intel (Alsa mixer) when I go to the option "about" it says:gnome-volume-control 2.20.1
[19:09] <shadowhywind> dvoid to tell you the truth I don't even know
[19:09] <minimec> shadowhywind: there is a problem with your xorg.conf search for 'logitech evdev'. There is a lot of information available. It is easy...

[19:10] <robertchahine> hi everybdoy
[19:10] <roma> спс
[19:10] <StevenX> I want to install ubuntu on the HDD, but I'd like to make sure that my sound works in ubuntu before I do that.
[19:10] <bazhang> prego ;]
[19:10] <robertchahine> i installed firefox 3 beta 4
[19:10] <[B00]> then run the live cd
[19:10] <shadowhywind> StevenX you could allways upgrade your alsa and see if that helps
[19:10] <robertchahine> but don't know how to install java plugins
[19:10] <skillz> StevenX: run the live CD of ubuntu
[19:10] <skillz> before installing
[19:10] <crunchbang> Hey all -- thinking of doing a Feisty-to-Gutsy upgrade. Was wondering if there's a way to download all the necessary packages now, but just keep them for installation later
[19:10] <skillz> that way u will make sure everything works fine
[19:10] <robertchahine> and i've installed sun java6 from the add/remove
[19:11] <nagyv> StevenX: you can try with the live CD first
[19:11] <thiemster> does 8.04 alpha 6 crash a lot?
[19:11] <skillz> crunchbang: use sudo apt-get
[19:11] <legend2440> crunchbang: http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/
[19:12] <dvoid> shadowhywind, When an interrupt is not handled search all handlers for it. Intended to get systems with badly broken firmware running.
[19:12] <xq> thiemster: depends on the apps. you are using and your P.C. -- can't answer that without knowing exact setup or your P.C. -- Personally, I would wait until beta. Definitely do not run on a production system ;-)
[19:12] <nagyv> thiemster: this week there was a day when the whole system broke down, it's not recommended for production use!
[19:12] <thiemster> xq: my ram is 256MB
[19:12] <crunchbang> skillz -- hmmm... will sudo apt-get do a dist upgrade? Not an apt expert sorry
[19:12] <thiemster> nagyv: it's just for home use
[19:12] <bazhang> thiemster: #ubuntu+1 can tell you
[19:13] <thiemster> bazhang: thx, i'll look there

[19:13] <skillz> cunchbang: nor am i... i was just guessing...
[19:13] <Bryan_Sierra> Is there a way to clear up diskspace?
[19:13] <Bryan_Sierra> Is there a way to clear up disk space automatically?
[19:13] <Bryan_Sierra> is what I should ask I suppose.
[19:14] <SliMM> hello
[19:14] <nikrud> Bryan_Sierra: sudo apt-cache clean will remove the cache of downloaded and installed packages, will free a few hundred megs
[19:14] <Methlogic> can anyone help me with a problem im having when i install... i partitioned my disk and rebooted i got to the install screen hit ok then it goes to CMD prompt and says everything is ok... then my screen turns green and fades slowly....
[19:14] <SliMM> i have a little trouble running xampp with ubuntu
[19:14] <nagyv> thiemster: you can always try it out, I would suggest you to leave gutsy as well, and put it on a separate partition. This way you can always "fall back" if you need so. This might need to reorganise a bit your home dir (like symlink it from one install to the other, etc)
[19:14] <nikrud> !lamp | SliMM
[19:14] <ubotu> SliMM: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[19:14] <Trubadurix> hi i need a css code of changing color in searcs bars etc like googles and the button u pres any know how to write? i need it for my firefox userChrome.css
[19:15] <Bryan_Sierra> nikrud, clean doesn't appear to be an option.
[19:15] <nagyv> crunchbang: yes, apt can do a dist upgrade, but there are more user friendly ways to make it
[19:15] <nikrud> Bryan_Sierra:   sudo apt-cache clean
[19:15] <brobostigon> Bryan_Sierra: sudo apt-get clean, is also an option
[19:15] <SliMM> nikrud: i have already installed xampp as it was shown in that wiki page, but i don't have permission to view my files
[19:16] <crunchbang> nagyv -- like apt on cd? I want to download everything for the upgrade but not install it yet
[19:16] <nikrud> Bryan_Sierra: doh, I am brain dead this morning, see brobostigon above for the right syntax
[19:16] <SliMM> nikrud: actually i used this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=223410
[19:16] <Bryan_Sierra> nikrud, E: Invalid operation clean
[19:16] <zybil> hello does anyone have experiences with cable internet and linux?
[19:16] <brobostigon> Bryan_Sierra: sudo apt-get clean
[19:16] <minimec> crunchbang: There is a option in synaptic that allows you only to download the packages.
[19:17] <nikrud> SliMM: permission as in how? via the web browser, or in the filesystem
[19:17] <Bryan_Sierra> brobostigon, didn't do anything.
[19:17] <bazhang> zybil: what is the precise question please
[19:17] <SliMM> nikrud: web browser
[19:17] <nikrud> Bryan_Sierra: yeah, like said earlier I was brain dead
[19:17] <Bryan_Sierra> nikrud, ah mmk.
[19:17] <zybil> i am in romania and there I have a contract with the ISP named UPC
[19:17] <dvoid> Shadowpillar, thing is, i had no problems in my old fedora installation , with a custom kernel. problem is i dont know what settings i used
[19:17] <CaBlGuY> !avisplit
[19:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about avisplit - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:17] <Methlogic> Can someone PM me i need help with install??
[19:17] <nikrud> SliMM: I don't know much at all about xammp, I use the lamp stack that comes with ubuntu. That I could help with
[19:17] <zybil> i use the cable connect the modem to it and to the modem via ethernet cable my laptop
[19:17] <Econael> which prog do I need to rip a CD into mp3s on ubuntu 7.10 ?
[19:18] <Seveas> SliMM, you should not use xampp on ubuntu
[19:18] <erUSUL> Econael: Sound juicer comes installed
[19:18] <Econael> erUSUL: it can't record into mp3
[19:18] <zybil> i can ping the modem, i can access the modem via http://<IP_ADDRESS>
[19:18] <bazhang> zybil use a browser to connect to the router and configure it from there
[19:18] <zybil> it says Cable Modem Status - Not Synchronized
[19:18] <zybil> what does it mean?
[19:18] <nagyv> zybil: if I am not mistaken than you have ASDL, and it's an ASDL modem, is it right? (in Hungary this is what UPC offers)
[19:19] <erUSUL> Econael: if you install the gstreamer multiverse ugly plus liblame or lame you can
[19:19] <erUSUL> Econael: i personally use grip + lame
[19:19] <crunchbang> minimec -- the 'Generate package download script'? I see, but I don't know how to do a dist-upgrade with synaptic. I think I have to edit my repositories file
[19:19] <SliMM> nikrud: is there an easy way to get a [private] (i have a router) web server up and runnig?
[19:19] <zybil> its a modem that uses a thick cable which also is connected to television
[19:19] <zybil> so is it ADSL or Cable? I think its cable ??
[19:19] <bazhang> cable
[19:20] <Econael> erUSUL: looks good, thanks
[19:20] <nikrud> SliMM: see the link I gave above, but   sudo tasksel install lamp-server  is the simple step necessary
[19:20] <zybil> bazhang: how do i configure it so that it will be able to syncronize right??
[19:20] <bazhang> zybil open firefox and type in <IP_ADDRESS> this will bring up the router interface and the config screen
[19:20] <nagyv> zybil:
[19:20] <Econael> erUSUL: one last question: does anyone pay you to be here and help people?
[19:20] <bazhang> Econael: haha
[19:20] <nagyv> zybil: might be that someone in Romania has the same problem already solved. Do you have a local IRC for ubuntu?
[19:20] <Econael> bazhang: ^^ yeah, thought so
[19:21] <minimec> crunchbang: basic way... (if have done that with debian often) Set your sources to gutsy and start the update with synaptic (before you have to choose the download only option somewhere in the preferences).
[19:21] <nagyv> !ro | zybil
[19:21] <Econael> bazhang: is it a hobby or what?
[19:21] <ubotu> zybil: Daca doriti ajutor sau doriti sa discutati despre Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu, intrati pe #ubuntu-ro
[19:21] <zybil> bazhang: yes I did this. but i dont know the user and pass. before me another person that used win had this contract. maybe it's still kind of a default user and pass?? what was it again??
[19:21] <bazhang> Econael: offtopic; but obsession ;]
[19:21] <commander-ape> hey there, my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ is empty. where do i get the standard files for my ubuntu 7.10

[19:22] <witepa> Alright, so I need some help here. I am trying to install Xubuntu 7.10 onto a PowerBook G3 with a broken internal CD/DVD drive. I have gotten my hands on an external USB CD drive, and it is recognized by the mac's bios. However, when I try to boot from it, I am taken to the mac's Open Firmware screen. What command should I use to make this work?
[19:22] <nikrud> Bryan_Sierra: usually   gksudo <command>
[19:22] <crunchbang> minimec -- ah, just looking at the feisty-to-gutsy upgrade instructions on the ubuntu site, you can do the upgrade from a gutsy alternate CD, that'll do the job for me
[19:23] <veco> hope nikrud has new ideas since yesterday
[19:23] <minimec> crunchbang: ok
[19:23] <crunchbang> thanks all
[19:23] <nikrud> crunchbang: remember you will still need net access; if you have any apps installed over the net you'll probably need to update them as well (dependencies will probably require it)

[19:27] <bazhang> zybil: well I am heading away now; you can check for the default for that or just do a reset on the router to the default which would likely be root and no pass for login and then admin and admin for the router itself
[19:27] <Toznoshio> Ok, I'll give icecast a try
[19:28] <Ace2016> so LjL what was that all about?

[19:29] <dimas__>  i saved some picture in my old ubuntu version and for some reason i lost the pictures in the computer but now i can't open the folders from the cd cause is an old version of ubuntu....what should i do?
[19:29] <JonathanLahav> sometimes the message "too many open files" prevents me from seeing my music files, and that after playing some and copying a few others. What can be the cause of it and how can I release it when it happens without logging out? Thank you very much. If someone knows please let me know.
[19:29] <dimas__> i cant open
[19:29] <russ> bazhang you may remember me asking about killing my screensaver. No luck. Seems to have a mind of its own, but there must be a process that is running that starts it, if i could find it i could kill it
[19:29] <LjL> !exploit > ace2016    (ace2016, see the private message from Ubotu)
[19:30] <Ace2016> om
[19:30] <Ace2016> omg
[19:30] <Fallenou> !exploit > Fallenou
[19:30] <soldats> russ: what was your problem
[19:30] <BaD-AcerLaptop> heh :)
[19:30] <Trashlord> I'm trying to install the package build-essential, so I can install packages from source. it tells me there are unmet dependencies (libc6), I have that package also installed. I'm trying to get libc-dev, and it says it depends on a package OLDER than the one I'm trying to install, and therefore won't install.
[19:31] <russ> soldats somehow I have a screensaver running that i cannot control. i would like to kill it permanently
[19:31] <Seveas> Trashlord, are you installing manually downloaded packages or have you messed with /etc/apt/sources.list?
[19:31] <nikrud> Trashlord: did you install stuff from a 3d party repository?
[19:31] <Trashlord> no
[19:31] <Trashlord> nothing
[19:31] <soldats> russ: PM me
[19:31] <Trashlord> all I did was download the alsa drivers
[19:31] <zybil> thanks bazhang I'll try this at home see you
[19:31] <Trashlord> the sources, of course, bzip2 files
[19:31] <Seveas> Trashlord, pastebin your sources.list and the command you ran and its output
[19:31] <CaBlGuY> anyone know what package to use for spliting video files?
[19:32] <Trashlord> so I was on my way to the installation, then I remembered I needed to get build-essential
[19:32] <ccharles`> CaBlGuY: I use ffmpeg, but it's command-line. Not sure of a GUI package.
[19:32] <Trashlord> k, sec
[19:32] <erUSUL> !info avidemux | CaBlGuY
[19:32] <ihmSelbst> hi, how can i see how many cores does have my cpu?
[19:33] <ubotu> cablguy: avidemux (source: avidemux): a small editing software for avi (especially DivX). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:2.3.0-0.0ubuntu3 (gutsy), package size 3270 kB, installed size 8256 kB
[19:33] <CaBlGuY> ccharles`,  that would be fine as long as it is able to split any video type...  such as MPeg and DIVX, etc..
[19:33] <ccharles`> ihmSelbst: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[19:33] <ihmSelbst> thx
[19:33] <ccharles`> CaBlGuY: it does most formats. I've had very few problems with it.
[19:33] <CaBlGuY> Hmmm   thanks erUSUL .. I'll look into that
[19:33] <JonathanLahav> sometimes the message "too many open files" prevents me from seeing my music files, and that after playing some and copying a few others. What can be the cause of it and how can I release it when it happens without logging out? Thank you very much. If someone knows please let me know.
[19:33] <ccharles`> CaBlGuY: best thing to do is install it and read the manpages.
[19:33] <mitan> Hey All, I have an ubuntu system fully partitioned.  I was to install windows on the PC now, is there a way to do it without reinstalling from scratch?
[19:33] <CaBlGuY> thanks ccharles`
[19:34] <Seveas> mitan, install windows, then follow the instructions ubotu will send you in a sec
[19:34] <JonathanLahav> You have to install ubuntu on windows...
[19:34] <Seveas> !grub > mitan
[19:34] <Ash908> where is the nfsd config file located
[19:34] <Trashlord> Seveas: http://pastebin.com/d4bd59789
[19:34] <Seveas> Ash908, /etc/exports
[19:34] <russ> soldats sorry not sure how
[19:35] <mitan> Seveas: Where do I install Windows though?  The drive is fully being used by Ubuntu
[19:35] <Trashlord> mitan: partition it
[19:36] <Trashlord> calculate how much is half of the entire drive's size
[19:36] <Trashlord> and create a partition according to that
[19:36] <Seveas> mitan, security and other updates are missing from there, enable them in the software sources tool
[19:36] <mitan> Trashlord: well currently my ubuntu system had the root partition, the boot, and the swap fully using the drives space
[19:37] <mitan> Trashlord: any way to repartition root without messing up my system?
[19:37] <Trashlord> well, another thing is though
[19:37] <mitan> I got everything running the way I like it
[19:37] <mitan> :-)
[19:37] <eshear_> hey - i think i'm running out of file descriptors...but i can't understand why. the result of cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr: 15008   0       65535
[19:37] <nagyv> mitan: first of all make a backup copy. I would recommend to use partimage
[19:37] <ccharles`> mitan: you'll need to shrink your root filesystem, then the partition. it's a little tricky. you might be better off buying a second drive for Windows if you're worried about it.
[19:37] <Trashlord> if you first install ubuntu, and then windows
[19:37] <Trashlord> you will encounter problems booting
[19:37] <nagyv> mitan: then user qtparted or its Gnome equivalent
[19:37] <Trashlord> because the windows boot loader doesn't recognize linux
[19:38] <eshear_> ah, nevermind - http://www.linuxinsight.com/proc_sys_fs_file_nr.html
[19:38] <Trashlord> Seveas: any idea what's causing my problem?
[19:38] <mitan> yeah, the boot loader is no problem
[19:38] <mitan> I can even use windows bootloader using a dd command.. I remember doing that once
[19:38] <terminal> i down load an exe file in ubuntu how i copy it into windows partition
[19:38] <Seveas> Trashlord, something's keeping files open, first guess is the media player
[19:38] <Trashlord> I'm not running a media player
[19:38] <mitan> i just don't know how to repartition linux root without mucking up my system
[19:38] <Trashlord> I only tried to get build essential, so I can build ALSA, which I need to play media in the first place
[19:38] <nagyv> mitan: backup, then use gparted
[19:39] <mitan> played starcraft today and really missed it :-)
[19:39] <nagyv> try PlayOnLinux.com :)
[19:39] <mitan> hmmm
[19:39] <Seveas> Trashlord, sorry, mixing 2 problems
[19:39] <nagyv> it enchances wine
[19:39] <mitan> if that works I am set
[19:39] <Trashlord> ah, alright
[19:39] <terminal> i down load an exe file in ubuntu how i copy it into windows partition
[19:39] <ihmSelbst> how many ram can ubuntu handle?
[19:39] <JonathanLahav> Seveas, did you answer -my- question and not trashlord's?
[19:40] <Seveas> Trashlord, security and other updates are missing from your sources.list, enable them in the software sources tool
[19:40] <nagyv> terminal: do you see your partition in nautilus?
[19:40] <JonathanLahav> about "too many open files?
[19:40] <Trubadurix> mitan: have u seen the video of the starcraft2?
[19:40] <Seveas> JonathanLahav, yes :)
[19:40] <mitan> Trubadurix: yeah, looks SICK
[19:40] <Seveas> was scrolling back to find whose question that was ;)
[19:40] <terminal> nagyv: no
[19:40] <Trubadurix> mitan: yeah pretty cool ;)
[19:40] <mitan> actually, I just met someone who's into all the strategy gaming and I got reason to play
[19:40] <JonathanLahav> it happens with vlc, mplayer, rythmbox, everything
[19:41] <terminal> nagyv: how i see it
[19:41] <mitan> Trubadurix: I can't wait.  Any idea when its out
[19:41] <mitan> ?
[19:41] <nagyv> are you sure that it's there? if you were simply clicking while installing ubuntu, then it is using yourwhole hard drive
[19:41] <Trubadurix> no sry i dont know
[19:41] <nagyv> terminal: open nautilus (this is the file manager), and on the left column you will see all your drives
[19:41] <JonathanLahav> so it's not likely the player
[19:41] <Seveas> JonathanLahav, then something else on your machine is keeping files open
[19:42] <nagyv> !ntfs
[19:42] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE
[19:42] <Vlet> Anyone have any experience setting up pptpd? Is it possible to have the internal and external addresses the same?
[19:42] <nagyv> !ntfs > terminal
[19:42] <JonathanLahav> how can I check which process keeps hundreds of files open without me knowing it?
[19:42] <Trashlord> oh
[19:42] <Trashlord> I didn't update everything, so that's the problem then?
[19:43] <terminal> nagyv: then
[19:43] <Slart> JonathanLahav: lsof might help you
[19:43] <terminal> nagyv: how i open nautils
[19:43] <veco> how might i find out the -71 error description?
[19:43] <nagyv> terminal: click on the places menu and choose the first option :)
[19:44] <Slart> veco: error -71.. in what application? os?
[19:44] <minimec> how about writing nautilus...
[19:44] <terminal> nagyv: then
[19:44] <sFEARs> any help with kernels in here. booting into 2.6.22-14-generic works fine but when booting into 2.6.2-14-rt it's gets stuck. I'm not quite sure where to start
[19:44] <JonathanLahav> Slart: What is this lsof? I got lost in it's output.
[19:44] <Ashfire908> can i "burn" a livecd iso to a usb drive? (with the normal ubuntu 7.10 livecd iso i have, i don't have a good connection to download iso files)
[19:44] <veco> os
[19:45] <Slart> JonathanLahav: it lists open files.. together with process name etc etc.. you could use grep and perhaps sort to make some sense out of it..
[19:45] <veco> Slart: in dmesg it says error -71 when i plug my usb drive
[19:45] <sFEARs> Ashfire908, that will work if you have a usb compatible bios that can read & boot from usb drives
[19:45] <nagyv> terminal: do you see your windows partition?
[19:45] <terminal> nagyv: ya
[19:45] <Slart> veco: just error -71.. nothing else?
[19:45] <Lilacor> ls of = "list open files"
[19:46] <JonathanLahav> nice. ls = list. o = open. f = files.
[19:46] <JonathanLahav> :)
[19:46] <JonathanLahav> just figured it out
[19:46] <nagyv> terminal: can you simply copy the files over there?
[19:46] <Ashfire908> sFEARs, i do. how to i "burn" it? (i don't want to lose the current partitions and data so i don't want to simply write over everything)
[19:46] <veco> Slart: new high speed usb device connected, cannot open port check USB cable, and then error -71
[19:47] <sFEARs> hold on Ashfire908
[19:47] <core_> how does ubuntu know my wireless car is named eth1?
[19:47] <mitan> hmm, I loaded up gparted.. the options to resize or change anything are all greyed out
[19:47] <terminal> nagyv: after i cp i havnt get d opt of paste
[19:47] <veco> Slart: the USB cable is fine, the drive works fine with windblows
[19:47] <mitan> do I need to boot via another device then try?
[19:47] <legend2440> JonathanLahav: do you have system monitor on your panel?
[19:47] <Lilacor> core_: that's probably how the kernel saw the card.
[19:47] <core_> Lilacor, i know there is a way to change it, which file is it that I need to edit?
[19:47] <nagyv> terminal: repeat please, I couldn't understand you
[19:48] <Lilacor> core_: beats me.
[19:48] <nagyv> terminal: "d opt of paste" ?
[19:48] <Slart> veco: no need for the name calling.. it's called windows
[19:48] <ccharles`> mitan: probably, if you're trying to resize your root paritition. there's a gparted livecd available at their site.
[19:48] <Lilacor> core_: why do you find it necessary to edit what your card says?
[19:48] <mitan> ccharles`: I am sure I can use the ubuntu boot cd as well
[19:48] <mitan> ?
[19:48] <veco> Slart: i have unmounted it in XP properly, sorry for the name calling i simply hate booting in XP that's all
[19:48] <Slart> veco: can you copy/paste the exact error message, please?
[19:48] <core_> because this particular program i use doesn't allow me to change the interface its looking for
[19:48] <JonathanLahav> Slart: how many open files shoud I have? hundreds? thousands?
[19:48] <core_> Lilacor, it wants wifi0 and ubuntu recognized mine as eth1
[19:48] <terminal> nagyv: when i right click in windows partition i havnt got d option of paste
[19:49] <ccharles`> mitan: *shrug* if it has gparted or qtparted on it you should be able to.
[19:49] <nagyv> mitan: to resize a partition it should be unmounted
[19:49] <sFEARs> Ashfire908, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=316093
[19:49] <nagyv> ok, might be you don't have write permissions
[19:49] <Slart> JonathanLahav: I have no idea.. I have lots and lots.. how do you count'em?
[19:49] <Lilacor> core_: what program might this be?
[19:49] <core_> Lilacor, not to sound rude but does it matter?
[19:49] <mitan> Alright sweet guys.  Now where did that Windows CD go... hmmmmmm
[19:49] <mitan> :-)
[19:49] <nagyv> terminal: are you using gutsy?
[19:49] <ccharles`> Slart: "ls | wc -l" will show you how many files are in a directory
[19:50] <terminal> nagyv: ya
[19:50] <Lilacor> core_: yes it does matter since the developers might have something to say about it.
[19:50] <JonathanLahav> Slart: lsof > output; gedit; document statistics -> number of lines :)
[19:50] <Seveas> JonathanLahav, try this as root to see which process has most files:
[19:50] <Seveas>  cd /proc ; for pid in $(ls | grep '^[[:digit:]]\+$'); do if [ -e /proc/$pid ] ; then echo -n "Proc $pid "; readlink /proc/$pid/exe || echo ""; echo "    $(ls /proc/$pid/fd | wc -w) files"; fi; done
[19:50] <sFEARs> Ashfire908, your going to have to partition something, you don't necessarily need to erase everything, but you need an ext3 partition to install linux on
[19:50] <core_> Lilacor, i have already searched, it is not supported. Its called IPWRAW
[19:50] <veco> Slart: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59844/
[19:50] <Slart> ccharles`: sweet.. I always forget about wc.. thanks
[19:50] <nagyv> terminal: are you sure you copied the file? do you get the paste option elsewhere?
[19:50] <ccharles`> Slart: no problem.
[19:50] <nagyv> you might open two nautilus windows and try to drag&drop
[19:51] <nagyv> terminal: ^^
[19:51] <jars> lc
[19:51] <terminal> nagyv: ya in home folder
[19:51] <Ashfire908> sFEARs, this appears not to be for livecds
[19:52] <nagyv> terminal: what about drag&drop? do you get an error message or it worked?
[19:52] <Jafet> What's the EOF keystrokes for gnome-terminal and shouldn't this be documented somewhere?
[19:52] <Slart> veco: I googled the error message.. some people seem to think it's because some piece of hardware doesn't follow the USB-standard properly.. seems like windows is more forgiving when it comes to this.

[19:54] <nagyv> Christina18: you can convert the pdf to html, and link to it then
[19:54] <Slart> veco: no difference if you boot with the drive connected?
[19:54] <veco> Slart: no bypass? no 'hard way' to mount it?
[19:54] <Jafet> Converting PDF to HTML is rarely ideal.
[19:54] <terminal> nagyv: r u getting m
[19:54] <nagyv> Jafet: do you have a better idea?
[19:54] <Christina18> nagvy: ok, will consider that!

[19:56] <veco> Slart: thanks, i googled it for two days as well found many problems, but no solution, have hoped might hard-run it
[19:56] <danand> Seveas - shouldn't that be wc -l in $(ls /proc/$pid/fd | wc -w) files?? or am i missing something??
[19:56] <Christina18> Jafet: what linking to a page of a PDF document is supposed to solve? I have a menu in html for fast and easy access to a specified topic in a 100 page-pdf doc
[19:56] <nagyv> terminal: I didn't get this one
[19:56] <Seveas> danand, it shouldn't really make a difference in this specific case :)
[19:56] <tsrchristopher> Lilacor, do you happen to know what file Ubuntu or any distro of linux actually stores the name of the interface?
[19:56] <terminal> nagyv: still prob
[19:56] <Jafet> Christina18, that's better. Now why are you linking into a PDF document?
[19:57] <nagyv> terminal: ok, then let's move to the command line, just to see an error message :)
[19:57] <Lilacor> tsrchristopher: no I do not.
[19:57] <nagyv> terminal: open a terminal window
[19:57] <Jafet> Christina18, short answer, you can't do that. Long question, what are you trying to accomplish with that.
[19:57] <Lilacor> tsrchristopher: I would assume it to be /etc/network/interfaces
[19:57] <veco> Slart: that gave me an idea, i'll try an external power suply for it, it may help
[19:57] <Lilacor> tsrchristopher: but I am not sure.

[19:57] <veco> Slart: i simply hate the fact XP runs it fine

[19:58] <reportingsjr> Does anyone know of a decent streaming radio client for 7.10?
[19:58] <danand> Seveas - yeah - my mistake... :) just playing with that command a bit and messed up what it was supposed to do. Nice neat script/command though :)
[19:58] <Christina18> Jafet: instead of re-writing the whole document in html
[19:58] <nagyv> terminal: ok, do you know norton commander or total commander?
[19:58] <reportingsjr> Rythmbox sucks -.-
[19:58] <Seveas> danand, heavy plumbing is my specialty :)
[19:58] <terminal> nagyv: no
[19:58] <Seveas> reportingsjr, do mind the language please
[19:58] <Seveas> reportingsjr, try beep-media-player or mplayer
[19:58] <reportingsjr> Seveas, I can't say "sucks"?
[19:59] <nagyv> terminal: it gets harder :) then you will try to do it with midnight commander, it's a file manager for the terminal window.
[19:59] <reportingsjr> Seveas, thank you
[19:59] <Jafet> Christina18, you're working around my question very cleverly.
[19:59] <nagyv> terminal: type sudo apt-get install mc
[19:59] <Seveas> reportingsjr, correct, say it again and you'll be out of here

[19:59] <Christina18> Jafet: ?
[19:59] <terminal> nagyv: such type of command i know
[20:00] <reportingsjr> Seveas, you... gave me an answer?
[20:00] <zoidberg_> hey guys what is the wine channel?
[20:00] <nagyv> Christina18: try to convert it to html, then check it if it's fine for you or not. If not, then we can still find a better solution. But probably this is the easiest.
[20:00] <Seveas> reportingsjr, I made ubotu send you something :)
[20:00] <Seveas> zoidberg_, I'd guess #wine
[20:00] <reportingsjr> Seveas, Yes, it said answers are not always available.
[20:00] <acu>  got a lot of trouble making wireless Broadcom minipci express card on a AMD64 laptop - I am thinking to buy a different wireless card - which manufacturer is most open source oriented ?
[20:00] <Seveas> reportingsjr, and it gave you a link to something you should read
[20:00] <nagyv> terminal: once mc is installed, run it :)
[20:00] <Christina18> nagyv: i will, am trying to convert right now
[20:01] <mik1> hey guys i have question. i am trying to edit a config file for a program.  it wont let me edit it because i dont have the correct permissions but i dont wat to have to logon in as root on the command line because graphical is alot easier.  i was just wondering if there was a way i could edit this stuff without loging in a root?
[20:01] <reportingsjr> Seveas, I know
[20:01] <JonathanLahav> Seveas: great script. I must learn it. now I have to reproduce the problem...
[20:01] <terminal> nagyv: kkkkkkk
[20:01] <Lilacor> acu: intel's cards work pretty freakin' well
[20:01] <skillz> mik1: use chmod
[20:01] <nagyv> terminal: what the k is k for?
[20:01] <skillz> mik1: check man chmod for more info

[20:01] <veco> Slart: for future notice, it works when i booted with hardy, but not in gutsy
[20:01] <terminal> nagyv:are yaar okkkkkkkkkkkk
[20:01] <wxPython> chmod +x
[20:01] <Seveas> mik1, gksudo your_editor_here the_filename_here
[20:01] <acu> Lilacor: thanks
[20:01] <Seveas> mik1, so for instance: gksudo gedit /etc/dhcpd.conf
[20:01] <wxPython> chmod +x somefile.py
[20:01] <nagyv> now start mc with the command mc
[20:02] <Lilacor> acu: you're welcome
[20:02] <nagyv> terminal: ^^^
[20:02] <wxPython> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[20:02] <mik1> and then it will let me edit it?
[20:02] <skillz> yes
[20:02] <mik1> okay thanks a bunch
[20:02] <nagyv> terminal: then open the source folder in one side, change with tab to the other side, open the destination folder there
[20:02] <nagyv> terminal: and click F5 to copy
[20:02] <Seveas> mik1, either that or complian that you typed your password wrong ;)
[20:02] <Avatar_> Hi! I have got a softraid (5) over 6 drives.Now I have changed the motherboard and forgot the order in which the SATA cables were plugged in. Is there another possibility to figure that out?
[20:03] <reportingsjr> Seveas, I still don't see why a word like that would be frowned upon, worse words I can see, but not that. Reminds me of Nazi's, but it's not my channel I guess. *shrug*

[20:05] <tribalih> good evening might anyone give me a helping hand with this weird problem: http://img20.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bildschirmfotoyp1.png ? the caption is waaaay to big
[20:05] <^NighT^WalkeR^> ah... actually knew... it was just hidden somewhere in the back of my head
[20:05] <Jafet> Christina, you still have to reformat your PDFs, but I expect you can automate that.
[20:06] <nagyv> sFEARs: it's called shut down :) I think, there is no such shortcut by default
[20:06] <TaRDy> !appdb | tardy
[20:06] <Christina18> Jafet: thanks for the link. Seems I must have control of the pdf doc
[20:06] <sFEARs> no.. i've seen it before.. it's a way to unmount if everything is locked up
[20:06] <rubyscube> C
[20:07] <rubyscube> C
[20:07] <rubyscube> oopps
[20:07] <rubyscube> sorry
[20:07] <tribalih> -.-
[20:07] <Jafet> Ugh, md5 requires two EOFs??
[20:07] <Jafet> And on this other string, it requires three!!
[20:07] <veco> Slart: thank you, you have been helpful. Cheers!
[20:07] <SliMM> i cannot set permissions for folders on an ipod
[20:07] <tribalih> has anyone ever seen something like this: http://img20.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bildschirmfotoyp1.png ? I'm kinda desperate
[20:07] <SliMM> why's that?
[20:08] <tribalih> SliMM you're not allowed to change the permissions?
[20:08] <Jafet> SliMM, how did you fail?
[20:08] <Seveas> SliMM, probably because the filesystem on the ipod doesn't support permissions
[20:08] <ccharles`> SliMM: probably because the filesystem on the iPod doesn't support Unix-style permissions. it may be FAT or something.
[20:08] <SliMM> it is fat
[20:08] <Jafet> And why would you want to set permissions on an iPod anyway...
[20:08] <Seveas> SliMM, well there you go :)
[20:09] <Christina18> Jafet: the pdf wasn't created by me...
[20:09] <Seveas> ccharles`, and me gave the answer :)
[20:09] <MagoonD> how do I list out my dns address as well, ifconfig only lists my ip and subnet in windows command prompt i can type ipconfig /all to get my dns as well
[20:09] <Jafet> Christina18, but if you have access to the documents, you can just copy them and run them through a pagination filter.
[20:09] <SchneeSchwarz> tribalih: go to System / Einstellungen / Erscheinungsbild / Schriftarten an adjust the size of "Schrift in Fenstertiteln"
[20:09] <tribalih> MagoonD, it's in /etc/resolv
[20:09] <Seveas> MagoonD, cat /etc/resolv.conf
[20:09] <tyson_> Hi
[20:09] <tribalih> thanks SchneeSchwarz
[20:10] <Jafet> If they change though, syncing might be an issue...
[20:10] <SliMM> because i want to create a symbolic link to a folder on my ipod, so i can do all my web-related work there and have it with me all the time
[20:10] <terminal> nagyv:after installation where i get it
[20:10] <Christina18> Jafet: what is a pagination filter? is there a free tool for it?
[20:10] <MagoonD> Seveas, tribalih thx that worked
[20:10] <shadowhywind> minimec: guess what!
[20:10] <nagyv> terminal: just type mc in the terminal window
[20:10] <tribalih> your welcome MagoonD
[20:10] <nagyv> terminal: then open the source folder in one side, change with tab to the other side, open the destination folder there
[20:10] <nagyv> terminal: and click F5 to copy
[20:10] <minimec> shadowhywind: So you did it ;) What's your feeling about it? lol
[20:11] <Jafet> Christina, no idea. If Murphy shows up today, expect to write, or have written for you, a whole program to do it.
[20:11] <shadowhywind> minimec: actraully i didn't use imwheel. I reinstalled xbindkeys, and somehow that must have fixed what was wrong
[20:11] <tyson_> Hi all, i am a rookie wid Gutsy Gibbon and im tryin 2 install k3b but i can not, any help ?
[20:12] <tribalih> SchneeSchwarz it is set to Sans 10, that should be that big :s
[20:12] <tribalih> is it because of my widescreen notebook?
[20:12] <Slart> Christina18, Jafet check out "pr"
[20:12] <Slart> !info pr
[20:12] <ubotu> Package pr does not exist in gutsy
[20:12] <minimec> shadowhywind: as far that xev sees the button action of your back/next buttons you will be able to use imwheel.
[20:12] <sFEARs> tyson_ at a command prompt type "sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get install k3b"
[20:12] <SliMM> well, how can i work with that folder so all the files in it could be accessible somewhere under my web root?
[20:12] <tyson_> sFEARS: thak u
[20:13] <sFEARs> welcome
[20:13] <Christina18> Slart: what is "pr" ?
[20:13] <Slart> qman pr
[20:13] <SchneeSchwarz> tribalih: I doubt it. I do have a notebook with a 1680x1050 screen myself but the title font is more .... hm ... sensible ;-)
[20:13] <Slart> bah.. wrong window
[20:13] <tribalih> SchneeSchwarz, if I restart my xserver a few times it gets normal
[20:13] <TaRDy> do you think wine would support Visual Studio 2008 pro?
[20:13] <tribalih> TaRDy, I doupt that
[20:13] <Slart> Christina18: it converts text to postscript, I think.. it does pagination etc.. ie acts as a pagination filter
[20:13] <TaRDy> (i read the appdb but it was not listed under there
[20:14] <SchneeSchwarz> tribalih: strange, something wrong with desktop effects (compiz) maybe?
[20:14] <tribalih> SchneeSchwarz thanks good idea.. I'm going to turn it off
[20:14] <Christina18> Slart: for what do I use that? There is a pdf document online which is the pdf doc I need to hyperlink to

[20:15] <tribalih> SchneeSchwarz awesome.. that did the trick!
[20:15] <crdlb> tribalih: yes, that's a bug in compiz's gtk-window-decorator
[20:15] <Slart> Christina18: oh.. I don't think it can do that... I don't think there is anything that can do that..
[20:15] <crdlb> should be fixed in hardy
[20:16] <terminal> nagyv:my file that is to copy is on desktop how i locate it in mc

[20:16] <BizMan> what do i need to do now to get it showing?
[20:16] <Christina18> Slart: so no need for pr then ?
[20:16] <BizMan> do i need to format it to fat32?
[20:16] <Jafet> Slart, that's fairly straightforward though.
[20:16] <BizMan> and then mount it?
[20:16] <SchneeSchwarz> tristil: you're welcome.

[20:20] <Jafet> Christina18, if you are a coder or know one, you could employ a PDF library like CPAN's cam-pdf to do is for you.
[20:20] <Ax-Ax> the field in the terminal is the cammand line
[20:20] <Jafet> Not a very exciting solution, but it should work.
[20:20] <danand> Bizman - do you want to share that new drive between windows and ubuntu?
[20:21] <saulus> anyone has similar problems with TZDATA?
[20:21] <dvoid> :( still locks
[20:22] <BizMan> just linux
[20:22] <saulus> I really need to fix this, otherwise aptitude doesnt work properly. I cant install/remove/change my software
[20:22] <BizMan> no windows
[20:22] <Jafet> Bizman, gparted?
[20:22] <BizMan> i have it installed
[20:22] <BizMan> and i formatted it ext3
[20:22] <Jafet> Hmm.
[20:22] <BizMan> but it says now that i have 7.5gb out of 480 in use
[20:22] <BizMan> how is tha tpossible?
[20:22] <BizMan> i ahvent done anything else
[20:22] <Jafet> Well have you opened to filesystem to check what is iside?
[20:22] <minimec> niklas: I wasn't able to watch a movie from that site, even with the totem plugin... Maybe the player-plugin does it...

[20:23] <ArthurArchnix> How to debug?
[20:23] <niklas> minerale, tried mplayer-plugin. Maybe I should remove totem plugin first?
[20:24] <saulus> HELP. While upgrading tzdata I get the Error  post-installation script failed with error 2. When editing the script post-install (set -eux) I get /usr/share/debconf/confmodule: 19: DEBIAN_HAS_FRONTEND: parameter not set. What shall I do?
[20:24] <astro76> ArthurArchnix: I would first try VLC, it'll support the dvd menus too whereas totem doesn't yet
[20:24] <Paarth> I'm having trouble logging in to my box. i'm at the well.... welcome screen I guess you would call it, and everything is typed in correctly, but it won't go in to my account. the screen turns black and then just comes back to the welcome screen. this happens even if I change the setting (I've tried fluxbox, kde, MVM, failsafe....) I tried using console login, removed /tmp/.X0-lock and did...
[20:24] <Paarth> ...startx but I got errors and the server refused to start. could somebody help?
[20:25] <ArthurArchnix> astro76: Yeah... I was able to play it in VLC. Totem doesn't even support menus?
[20:25] <danand> Bizman - thats the lost+found folder. This is the amount of space reserved for the super user in case of problems with that drive - ie if the drive gets full the super user still has some space left for important system files. You can shrink the ammount of space reserved for the super user though ...  give one tick and i'll have a look for the command
[20:25] <ar0nic> guys ive manually added a few more resolutions into the xorg,conf then restarted X however i still only have th 3 resolutions in the system, preferences, resolution screen
[20:25] <astro76> ArthurArchnix: nope, believe it or not ;)

[20:26] <lemmy> hi, after an update to hardy 6 I'm stuck with a broken network-manager. for some reason it's not connecting to a network although it shows up in the nm-applet
[20:26] <astro76> lemmy: #ubuntu+1 for hardy
[20:26] <JonathanLahav> ar0nic, I had a similar problem, and the cause was the screen driver. It used plug n play instead of the right driver. I changed it and relogged.
[20:26] <lemmy> astro76: thx
[20:27] <PMantis> Does anyone have a *simple* .deb packaging guide? I need to package a bash shell script - so no need for make, ./configure, etc. Google, Ubuntu Wiki, etc = no success yet.
[20:27] <zod_> can some one please help me? im new to Linux (ubuntu 7.10) and dont want to go back to microsoft all i want to have help with now is to config my age of empire 2 in Wine
[20:27] <ArthurArchnix> Well, it more than just menus I think, because if I open any VOB on the disc I get can't play errors, or else it plays but its just a silent black screen.
[20:27] <ar0nic> JonathanLahav
[20:27] <Flannel> PMantis: #ubuntu-motu would be your best chance of having tha answered
[20:27] <ar0nic> what vid carwd?
[20:27] <PMantis> motu?
[20:27] <PMantis> hmm
[20:28] <Paarth> anybody have any idaes on what to do?
[20:28] <danand> BizMan - see the man page of mke2fs. the option you want is -m. ie sudo mke2fs -m 5 /path_to_disk ... the "5" there is the percentage of space reserved for the superuser ie on 100Gb drive that would equate to 5Gb reserved

[20:30] <BizMan> ok thanks
[20:31] <StefanW> say I know my monitor can do 75 Hz at 1280 x 800, would this 75 Hz be the horizontal or the vertical refresh rate?
[20:32] <ccharles`> StefanW: I *think* that's the vertical refresh rate.
[20:32] <JonathanLahav> ar0nic: not video card! screen driver
[20:32] <JonathanLahav> my video card is ati
[20:32] <JonathanLahav> old one
[20:32] <Flannel> StefanW: its vertical.  The lines scan horizontally across the screen.
[20:32] <StefanW> thanks :)
[20:33] <StefanW> would you guys also happen to know what the value gnome displays is?
[20:33] <ArthurArchnix> Strange. I wonder if regionset would be the problem. How do I check the disc region and my current region?

[20:34] <JonathanLahav> yes
[20:34] <JonathanLahav> it did not froze! it took about ten minutes!!
[20:35] <ar0nic> chazco
[20:35] <ar0nic> servers are slow i think
[20:35] <ar0nic> it took about 10 minutes on my end
[20:35] <chazco> Its downloaded, just configuring...
[20:35] <JonathanLahav> it's not the download
[20:35] <chazco> No network activity
[20:35] <JonathanLahav> the configuration takes about ten minutes...
[20:35] <StefanW> same here chazco, the download is quick but the actual configuring is taing a long time :)
[20:35] <ar0nic> it took a while on my end
[20:35] <chazco> I killed the process on my desktop, i've left my laptop for now
[20:35] <ar0nic> i walked away
[20:35] <chazco> Hmm, weird...
[20:35] <chazco> Anyone know what its actually doing?
[20:35] <St0n3-C0l> Hmm...does anyone will let me know, what's the best method in Winrar app for reducing the file-size to maximum. "Best" or "Fastest" ?
[20:36] <StefanW> "best"
[20:36] <chazco> Hmm... it just finished
[20:36] <chazco> My desktop was sat for ages compared to this
[20:36] <JonathanLahav> chazco: probably updating many little things in many places?

[20:36] <sFEARs> tyson_ system/administration/synaptic package manager... settings/repositories/ubuntu software... & make sure the (main) + (universe) repositories are enabled & try again
[20:36] <StefanW> fastest features the lowest compression, best gives the highest compression
[20:36] <faruk_> good evening
[20:36] <xb3rt> how do i set my display to 32 bit on ubuntu gutsy
[20:36] <St0n3-C0l> StefanW: You sure? Cos it's a 4gb file and while I did with Fastest. the .rar file was very less but with best on 6% it crossed 200+ mb
[20:37] <StefanW> 24 bit = 24 bit
[20:37] <tyson_> sFEARs: il try, thanx alot
[20:37] <StefanW> 32 = 24, sorry. lol
[20:37] <JonathanLahav> you mean 24 = 32?
[20:37] <St0n3-C0l> stefanW: hmm..
[20:37] <JonathanLahav> 24linux  = 32 windows.
[20:37] <St0n3-C0l> So a 4gb file will be how many gbs ?
[20:37] <St0n3-C0l> any idea?
[20:38] <StefanW> god knows, depends on what type of file it is
[20:38] <St0n3-C0l> it's movies
[20:38] <St0n3-C0l> .wmv format
[20:38] <rsk> gbs = ?
[20:38] <St0n3-C0l> I am on windows atm. cos of it
[20:38] <St0n3-C0l> rsk: gigabits
[20:38] <St0n3-C0l> :D
[20:38] <rsk> chek wikipedia
[20:38] <StefanW> "best" should give you the highest ammount of compression
[20:39] <St0n3-C0l> hmm
[20:39] <StefanW> and will take the longest :)
[20:39] <St0n3-C0l> oki thnx
[20:39] <St0n3-C0l> lol yeah
[20:39] <St0n3-C0l> it does
[20:39] <differentreality> hi :)  does anyone know with which program I can generate multiple graphs on the same image ?
[20:39] <StefanW> the difference between normal / best may not be much by the way :)
[20:39] <chazco> Anyone using the new Truecrypt 5.1 on Gusty? Does it still stall when performing large write operations?
[20:39] <danand> differentreality - gnuplot?
[20:39] <St0n3-C0l> StefanW: If I do the fastest one? and access the files from that .rar will the quality of movies be compromised?
[20:39] <differentreality> let me try it
[20:40] <StefanW> no, winrar merely compresses files.. it does not affect the actual file
[20:40] <JFactor> I loaded Frets on Fire, I click on it and immeadiately the screen goes black there is a cursor then the game crashes. I am using an Nvidia 6150 card on a AMD64 can anyone help me fix this problem?
[20:40] <StefanW> every bit of data will still be there, but in a compressed state
[20:40] <StefanW> acessing the files will mean you have to extract the rar file though
[20:40] <St0n3-C0l> Yup
[20:40] <differentreality> danand, mmm maybe with graphic interface ?
[20:41] <JonathanLahav> which irc client are u using? (i'm on pidgin, am I missing something?)
[20:41] <lilg111111> how do you mount an external hard drive
[20:42] <n9nu> anyone around for a network related ?
[20:42] <StefanW> using a commandline tool, lmfao... X-Chat is a nice one :)
[20:42] <n9nu> mount /dev/xxx /mnt/yyy
[20:42] <StefanW> n9nu: what is the problem
[20:42] <n9nu> ok
[20:42] <St0n3-C0l> stefanw: I'll download a new version of winrar eh
[20:42] <differentreality> is there maybe some way for me to see the packages that I installed through last week ?
[20:42] <warlink> I could really need some1 who know something about networks aswell..
[20:42] <JFactor> I loaded Frets on Fire, I click on it and immediately the screen goes black there is a cursor then the game crashes. I am using an Nvidia 6150 card on a AMD64 can anyone help me fix this problem?
[20:43] <Seveas> differentreality, /var/log/dpkg.log
[20:43] <danand> differentreality - :) gnuplot's not exactly the most user friendly program, i agree.... but if you stick with it a while it's actually v good. That aside, i think there is another package with gui ... wait one and i'll try and remember its name...

[20:43] <JFactor> sorry

[20:43] <n9nu> I have a DS3 here at home for the WISP and I have a single ethernet cable coming into my room....that cable goes to this linux box (<IP_ADDRESS>) and I have another static IP I want to use with another machine next to this one
[20:43] <cirilo> or http://ubuntuforums.org
[20:43] <n9nu> that ip ends in .195
[20:44] <JFactor> StefanW: Where do I post it?
[20:44] <n9nu> can i run the incoming cable into a HUB and then run both machines with the two IP's from that
[20:44] <StefanW> JFactor: on the forums with your problem.. or pastebin (paste.ubuntu.org)
[20:44] <n9nu> I have this machine working off the hub now
[20:44] <n9nu> but when I try the other machine with the .195 address it will not work.
[20:45] <StefanW> n9nu: ugh, hang on... let me get a decent irc client :)

[20:51] <fung> empty your recycle bin
[20:51] <Z_God> when I plug in a usb flash disk, I can mount it as a user, but not write to it as that user
[20:51] <Z_God> what did I do wrong?
[20:51] <n9nu> [inet}------>[gig.hub][20:51] <helpmeplease> the trash is empty

[20:51] <n9nu> the [20:51] <n9nu> s
[20:51] <differentreality> danand, ok got it tnx :)
[20:51] <Pirate_Hunter> is there a way to printscreen and paste it directly to word without having to save it first as an image?
[20:51] <n9nu> from the hub out to two PC's
[20:51] <fung> that should have done it, try using du -h to check and see if there are differences between what nautilus is reporting
[20:51] <ar0nic> any network guru's around?
[20:51] <fung> they may have not updated
[20:51] <^u^> helpmeplease, in a terminal type  ls -a /root/.Trash
[20:51] <helpmeplease> fung: the trash is empty.... it was 18GB of files and it says I only have 2.1gb free
[20:51] <harm> Hey i have a rather large music libary (7100songs) and now i want to clean that beast up..
[20:52] <stroyan> n9nu:  Did you set the static IP in the same way on both PCs?  Can one ping the other?
[20:52] <harm> Hey i have a rather large music libary (7100songs) and now i want to clean that beast up.. Whats a good software to edit IDE3 Tags and find album art?
[20:52] <ccharles`> ar0nic: just ask your specific question, please
[20:52] <fung> nautilus may just not be updating
[20:52] <helpmeplease> fung: ls: /root/.Trash: No such file or directory
[20:52] <n9nu> no....I have two static IP's I can use for these...one for each box..
[20:52] <n9nu> i can get local yes
[20:52] <dgjones> harm, don't know about album art, but easytag is good for editing the mp3 tags
[20:52] <n9nu> i mean i can ping the other box
[20:53] <fung> helpmeplease: run it on the whole partition and see if the grand total matches your expectations
[20:53] <danand> harm - editing IDE3 tags can be done with easytag
[20:53] <ar0nic> with my linksys wireless nic plugged up everything becomes extremely buggy, x restarts will lag, programs wont open
[20:53] <n9nu> i was wondering if i need a dedicated route or gateway
[20:53] <ar0nic> the computer also will not boot or shutdown properly with the wireless nic plugged in.
[20:53] <helpmeplease> fung: yeah it does
[20:53] <n9nu> the gateway is <IP_ADDRESS> and mask is <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:53] <helpmeplease> fung: how do I empty that?
[20:53] <fung> meaning the drive is still full?
[20:54] <ar0nic> on a hardboot it will freeze on stopping wpa_supplicant interfaces
[20:54] <helpmeplease> fung: yeah the drive has those files in .Trash
[20:54] <fung> not sure
[20:54] <fung> maybe something still has it open
[20:54] <BuckWild> is there something wrong with the repositories?
[20:55] <BuckWild> anyone else getting really slow d/l speeds from them?
[20:55] <stroyan> n9nu:  I would be suspicious that the hub is really more complicated and preventing access to the <IP_ADDRESS> address.  Are you sure you have a simple hub there?
[20:55] <BuckWild> I thought it was my router but then I pinged google and it looks fine
[20:55] <ar0nic> man this chan is moving along super fast
[20:55] <brobostigon> BuckWild: iam getiing 200kbps +
[20:55] <ptn107> BuckWild: yeah i am in both gutsy and hardy
[20:55] <StefanW> just got 1300 Kbyte off the repos
[20:55] <BuckWild> hmm
[20:55] <BuckWild> maybe it is my router then
[20:55] <BuckWild> or comcast
[20:55] <BuckWild> heh
[20:55] <BuckWild> thanks
[20:55] <n9nu> oops..its a switch
[20:55] <n9nu> no router in this one
[20:55] <helpmeplease> fung: just selected and deleted. it worked
[20:55] <n9nu> Linksys DGS-xxx
[20:55] <helpmeplease> fung: cheers
[20:56] <ar0nic> on a hardboot it will freeze on stopping wpa_supplicant interfaces <---what does this error mean
[20:56] <n9nu> I know i can connect the incoming cable to the router and then go to bot machines
[20:56] <n9nu> but i wanted to use both IP;s
[20:56] <ar0nic> if the wireless nic card is plugged on boot it freezes at "Starting common unix printing system : cupsd
[20:56] <n9nu> if i can....if not, no biggie
[20:56] <ar0nic> and it sits.

[21:00] <cristian_> i have one question
[21:00] <n9nu>  /etc/init.d/smb restart
[21:00] <minimec> rahduke: You want a clean samba.conf? Backup the old one and delete it afterwards. then sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[21:00] <rahduke> i've done that
[21:00] <rahduke> oh wait
[21:00] <rahduke> k let me try that

[21:04] <pal> okay
[21:04] <rahduke> i just accidentally deleted my smb.conf file
[21:04] <stroyan> n9nu:  Can you configure the first system as <IP_ADDRESS> and the non-working system as <IP_ADDRESS> and see that which works through the hub?  That would confirm that the problem is with an address or with one system's configuration.
[21:04] <tomtommy> Seveas, ok
[21:04] <Stargazer> I need a better screen recorder than istanbul and xvidcap, any suggestions ?
[21:04] <rahduke> and its not in the trash

[21:05] <differentreality> does anyone know maybe how i could add multiple graphs under same axis using openoffice calc ?
[21:05] <Seveas> tomtommy, Heron, not Heroin, it's an animal

[21:05] <tomtommy> minimec, what is the trash has been emptied? can we get the files back?
[21:06] <rahduke> no its not in the /root trash
[21:06] <minimec> tomtommy: nope.
[21:06] <tomtommy> Seveas, so the new version Ubuntu is an animal? :)
[21:06] <Seveas> tomtommy, all versions are

[21:07] <rahduke> is there anything i can do?
[21:07] <minimec> tomtommy: I am not able to tell you exactly, if it is possible, but I can tell you that it is definitly not easy

[21:15] <Brutality> hey
[21:16] <pwuertz> WildChild7: you could wait for hardy heron.. it comes with a more sophisticated burning tool
[21:16] <pwuertz> mikebot: if its ubuntu specific ^^
[21:16] <mikebot> pwuertz: =\ OK...
[21:16] <minimec> WildChild7: Don't hang me on that, but my burner seems to butn in burning-proof mode by default. So burning quality is no problem.
[21:16] <WildChild7> pwuertz: that's brilliant idea... Anyone else ?
[21:16] <ccharles`> WildChild7: you can install Brasero (GTK) or K3B (Qt). both of them are pretty good.
[21:16] <ddelony> K3b is pretty good, even if it's a KDE app.

[21:19] <ubotu> zod_: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[21:19] <rahduke> 1 more questions if someone can help, I messed up Mplayer pretty badly now I can't re-install it, there are alot of dependency issues
[21:19] <rahduke> can anyone help me out
[21:19] <Brutality> also, is it easy to get itunes running for my iphone
[21:19] <danand> Brutality - System -> Admin -> Synaptics Package Manager
[21:19] <Brutality> ok thx a lot
[21:19] <jin> Seveas: how do u alow user mount via fstab then?
[21:19] <joe_> hey
[21:19] <tutul> hello
[21:19] <joe_> anyone here?
[21:20] <Seveas> jin, removable drives should be automounted
[21:20] <joe_> oh
[21:20] <jin> Seveas: they are internal drives
[21:20] <Parsec300> Hi, is it normal for Ubuntu to crash completely during fast-user-switch? With an ATi Radeon Xpress 1100 card in an Acer 5100 laptop?
[21:20] <brobostigon> joe_: there re 1307 peple here.
[21:20] <Seveas> jin, why usermounts then?
[21:20] <danand> jin - add "users" to the option list
[21:20] <Seveas> (btw, option 'user' or 'users', depending on your needs, should do what you want)
[21:20] <spydon> Parsec300, shouldnt be...
[21:21] <Brutality> do i need to install any hardware drivers like in windows?
[21:21] <brobostigon> Brutality: what for??
[21:21] <jpatrick> !yay | jmesquita
[21:21] <ubotu> jmesquita: Glad you made it! :-)
[21:21] <Seveas> Brutality, possibly, if you have an ati or nvidia video card go to system -> admin -> restricted drivers
[21:21] <jin> /dev/hda1       /home/jin/E     defaults,users 0 0
[21:21] <jin> still get permission error
[21:21] <Seveas> jin, windows drive?
[21:21] <Brutality> ok thx for the help guys
[21:21] <jmesquita> ubotu | jpatrick: Thank you
[21:21] <jin> Seveas: yea
[21:21] <thehumanerror> I just installed smartmontools
[21:22] <Parsec300> spydon, any chance you know where to look for the problem?
[21:22] <Seveas> !windowsdrives | jin
[21:22] <ubotu> jin: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE
[21:22] <ccharles`> jin: I think it's 'user' not 'users'
[21:22] <thehumanerror> sorry, I just installed smartmontools and it suggest a package to get the program "mail"
[21:22] <thehumanerror> and it's installed exim
[21:22] <thehumanerror> do I need to make sure exim isn't externally accessible?
[21:22] <spydon> Parsec300, see if it crashes when you do the same on the live cd maybe...
[21:22] <thehumanerror> I just installed the mailx package
[21:23] <Seveas> thehumanerror, you rather do not want exim to be externally visible :)
[21:23] <thehumanerror> no I surely do not
[21:23] <rahduke> Can anyone help me out with Mplayer, I un-installed it because i was having some issues. Now when i try to re-install there are tons of dependency issues.
[21:23] <rahduke> specifically with libc6
[21:24] <thehumanerror> I don't really want it at all, but it it's necessary for smartmontools to warn me about disc problems then so be it
[21:24] <jin> that worked :-)
[21:24] <Seveas> rahduke, sounds like a messed up sources.list to me
[21:24] <jin> very helpful guys
[21:24] <rahduke> thats what synaptic keeps telling me
[21:24] <bsdnewb07> hi guys ive issued a shutdown -r now and it says The system is going down for reboot NOW!
[21:24] <Seveas> rahduke, pastebin your sources.list
[21:24] <bsdnewb07> but it wont reboot
[21:24] <danand> jin - :)
[21:24] <rahduke> but i can't seem to straighten it out, I've added every source i could find
[21:24] <rahduke> pastebin?
[21:24] <Seveas> !pastebin | rahduke
[21:25] <ubotu> rahduke: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[21:25] <Seveas> rahduke, and adding lots of sources often messes it up pretty bad

[21:26] <zod_> where to go to get my wine 0.9.46 updated to 0.9.57?
[21:27] <jrib> zod_: winehq provides a repository
[21:27] <jrib> !wine > zod_ (read the private message from ubotu)
[21:27] <brobostigon> zod_: see if there is a .deb on wine's website??
[21:27] <thehumanerror> so, Exim is installed but it's safe?
[21:27] <zod_> ah tnx all
[21:27] <jin> problem. mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs-fuse'
[21:27] <rahduke> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59857/  Pastebin of my sources
[21:27] <Parsec300> spydon, that's a good way to check indeed. Just in case I'll also create two new user accounts, see if switching between those does the same if the CD works fine. On the other hand, as long as I have the ATi driver turned off (or Compiz...at not sure which one would be responsible) it works fine.
[21:28] <Seveas> jin, ntfs-3g
[21:28] <spydon> Parsec300, ah I see
[21:28] <spydon> Parsec300, I g2g now, bb
[21:29] <zod_> tnx for help all ;)
[21:29] <zod_> nn
[21:29] <rahduke> i think my source list is a total mess as well
[21:30] <Seveas> rahduke, it's beyond mess
[21:30] <Seveas> you probably broke your system already with it
[21:30] <Seveas> rahduke, NEVER, repeat, NEVER use debian sources on ubuntu and vice versa
[21:30] <jin> Seveas: I have that installed :\
[21:31] <rahduke> jesus
[21:31] <rahduke> please help
[21:31] <Seveas> rahduke, reinstall.
[21:31] <Jezz> hi
[21:31] <rahduke> reinstall what?
[21:31] <bsdnewb07> guys when i do shutdown -r now the server says its rebooting but it dosent and ssh stays open
[21:31] <jin> Seveas: what is teh module name for ntfs-3g?
[21:31] <bsdnewb07> why would that happen
[21:31] <Jezz> how do i install a .tar.gz package?
[21:31] <Traveler3> Hey guys. I've got a laptop running vista with a usb -> ethernet converter going out to my laptop running linux. I'd like to share the internet connection with my achlinux box, but it's not picking up on the connection (ehternet lights aren't lighting up). This method works if I replace the linux box with a mac or windows (or xbox)
[21:31] <Seveas> rahduke, your system
[21:31] <rahduke> really?
[21:31] <Seveas> rahduke, you probably broke too much for proper recovert
[21:31] <brobostigon> !compile | Jezz
[21:31] <ubotu> Jezz: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[21:32] <kane77> my samba shares are not showing on windows box, why could that be?
[21:32] <Seveas> jin, you need to use ntfs-3g in /etc/fstab, not ntfs-fuse
[21:32] <Jezz> eh im new to linux
[21:32] <rahduke> i don't wanna lose all the stuff I have... I've got the theme just right, got all the programs I want
[21:32] <Jezz> what is compiling?
[21:32] <Jezz> i have vmware tools .tar.gz package
[21:32] <brobostigon> Jezz: just read that link, it will explain
[21:32] <rahduke> and i especially don't want to format my HD
[21:32] <Jezz> ok
[21:32] <Seveas> Jezz, then don't install .tar.gz packages, that's for experienced users
[21:32] <Jezz> well thats what vmware tools is
[21:32] <Seveas> vmware-tools can be found in the repositories
[21:32] <Jezz> oh
[21:32] <jin> Seveas: worked :-)
[21:32] <benbread> hey i'm running kubuntu 7.10 (AMD64) - when installing some programs (flightgear) it messed with my libc6 install and installed some strange version - in the process apt removed several things "no longer needed" in particular my graphics card xorg driver :| is there a way i can revert back to my old libc6 version? :S thanks for any help anyone can give
[21:33] <Seveas> !vmware | jezz
[21:33] <ubotu> jezz: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[21:33] <tokam> any critics to www.frogged.de ?
[21:33] <tokam> A link to my page would be vry nice. ;-)
[21:33] <jin> Seveas: any player similar to iTunes? I love the way iTunes sort my music files automatically.
[21:33] <Seveas> jin rhythmbox, banshee, amarok
[21:34] <DaRe_DeViL> hi people im very new to ubuntu
[21:34] <jin> DaRe_DeViL: so am I :P
[21:34] <Jezz> whats the desktop directory
[21:34] <DRebellion> Jezz, ~/Desktop
[21:34] <DaRe_DeViL> im trying to discover even irc
[21:34] <Jezz> ok
[21:34] <DaRe_DeViL> very very hard stuff
[21:34] <rahduke> whats the easiest way for me to reinstall ubuntu, without losing my downloads, and hopefully without losing some of my programs
[21:34] <benbread> tokam: any chance you can tone down the green? ;)
[21:35] <xoqa> if i install kde-games but don't like a certain one that comes with it, can i remove that one game without removing the kde-games library? and how could this be accomplished if so?
[21:35] <DRebellion> rahduke, copy your downloads to a cd or flash drive. get the debs for your programs out of the cache and keep those aswell to install on the new system.
[21:35] <TaRDy> amarok doesn't play WMA files, does anybody know of a good converter for that?
[21:35] <Seveas> xoqa, no
[21:35] <Jezz> bash: ./vmware-install.pl: No such file or directory
[21:35] <Jezz> srry ima noob
[21:35] <DaRe_DeViL> how can i disconnect from this server
[21:35] <mad_max02> is there any need for check ext3 formated disk for fragmentation ????
[21:36] <Jezz> but is ./ the directory
[21:36] <xoqa> Seveas: ty
[21:36] <Seveas> DaRe_DeViL, /disconnect
[21:36] <kane77> TaRDy, afaik amarok plays wma
[21:36] <thehumanerror> I have converted WMA before
[21:36] <DRebellion> Jezz, ./ refers to the current working directory (use the cd commmand to hcange it)
[21:36] <brobostigon> mad_max02: no
[21:36] <thehumanerror> I used... some uglyish GNOME app to do it
[21:36] <emeng> Is anyone familiar with how to disable DirectoryIndex in Apache for a specified directory (that is, under a specified directory, I only want directory contents to be listed, even if there is an index.htm*)
[21:36] <Jezz> eh ok
[21:36] <thehumanerror> I converted to FLAC to avoid the possibility of degrading the sound quality any more
[21:37] <rahduke> wow i really don't wanna do that, everything seems to work OK, I just cant re-install Mplayer. Is this really nessecary?
[21:37] <thehumanerror> the application is called SoundConverter
[21:37] <kane77> TaRDy, but you can always use soundconverter to convert to some free format.. (flac, ogg)
[21:37] <mad_max02> brobostigon, because hdd shows a bit slower operations
[21:37] <TaRDy> thank you kane77
[21:37] <thehumanerror> the package is called soundconverter
[21:37] <brobostigon> mad_max02: ext3 doesnt fragment in any way,
[21:37] <emeng> mad_max02:  there are no defragmentation tools for ext3, as far as I know
[21:38] <thehumanerror> defrag: tar up everything to another disc and drop it back again
[21:38] <DRebellion> Jezz, for example. when you open your terminal, you are in ~/ (which is shorthand for /home/username). you can use the command   cd ~/Desktop   to change your current directory to the Desktop directory.
[21:38] <thehumanerror> in fact, I think cp will copy the files in directory order and that will also defragment a filesystem
[21:38] <ctothej> what are the 'web' repositories for in sources.list?
[21:38] <thehumanerror> but you shouldn't have to do that, as they say, although I've never seen any evidence for or against
[21:38] <ctothej> i'm not used to seeing that... i thought there was just main universe and multiverse
[21:39] <thehumanerror> Jezz: you can also do "cp ~"
[21:39] <thehumanerror> without the slash
[21:39] <jin> ctothej: those are servers on the inetrnet where you get files form when you install software via pat-get
[21:39] <Jezz> pff i really cant get vmware tools to install
[21:39] <jin> apt-get*
[21:39] <Jezz> how can i see the drive letter of the dvd rom?
[21:39] <Frailmage> Hi, I am wondering if any one can help me with this. I am trying to find a simple server hosting software for Linux, I had originally tried Apache, but that went right over my head with the Linux version (I was originally trying to do it with Vista but that lead to frustration so I switched over to Ubuntu, as so I am very very new to using any Linux based OS)
[21:39] <Jezz> coz it only says CD/DVD rom
[21:39] <ctothej> jin: right... but what does the 'web' entry signify, i have never seen that before. what kind of software is in the web repo?
[21:39] <jin> Jezz: there is no drive letter in Ubuntu. they have names
[21:40] <Jezz> oh
[21:40] <DRebellion> Jezz, there is no such thing as drive letters in linux.
[21:40] <brobostigon> Jezz: if its mounted, df -h will show it
[21:40] <Jezz> ok
[21:40] <ccharles`> Jezz: vmware tools is something that you install inside a vm, not on the host machine. are you trying to install on the host machine, or a vm?
[21:40] <Jezz> in a vm -.-
[21:40] <jin> Jezz:  just pop a disc in the drive and see ;)
[21:40] <Jezz> lol im not that stupid
[21:40] <Jezz> but its the first time i use linux so
[21:40] <Pirate_Hunter> jin: well sdd/sdb/sdc can be seen as drive letters at least thats how i see them
[21:41] <Jezz> but i cant change the screen resolution, so i think i need vmware tools for that?
[21:41] <minimec> Jezz: If you only one drive, then it is always /dev/cdrom. Otherwise /dev/cdrom0 ... cdrom1
[21:41] <Jezz> aha
[21:41] <ccharles`> jezz, you should be able to use 'standard' resolutions (e.g. 800x600, 1024x768 etc.) without vmware-tools
[21:41] <Jezz> i cant
[21:41] <Frailmage> Can any one help me with my server problem?
[21:42] <Jezz> it asks keep reso or previous, when i click keep nothing happens
[21:42] <DRebellion> !ask | Frailmage
[21:42] <ubotu> Frailmage: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[21:42] <Jezz> in live cd it worked but i installed it to the drive and now nothing happens
[21:42] <ccharles`> Jezz: that's strange. what error do you get trying to install vmware-tools?
[21:42] <danj> hELLO
[21:43] <Jezz> eh, its more that i dont know how to install it lol
[21:43] <Frailmage> Sorry about that, then I asked befor but got no reply. But I am trying to find a very simple server hosting software for Ubuntu, as I am new at using any Linux based OS
[21:43] <Jezz> its the first time i touch linux :o
[21:43] <jpatrick> !apache | Frailmage
[21:43] <ubotu> Frailmage: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[21:43] <Sjimmie> Frailmage: server hosting software? What do you mean by that?
[21:43] <NB2000> Frailmage Apache is the choice of most.  What kind of issues were you having with apache?
[21:43] <Sjimmie> maybe he wants a mailserver :)
[21:44] <ccharles`> Jezz: the basic procedure is this: (1) in vmware, choose 'install vmware-tools' (2) navigate to cdrom mount, probably /media/cdrom (3) install deb file you find there, i.e. sudo dpkg -i vmware-tools*.deb
[21:44] <jpatrick> Sjimmie: "server hosting"
[21:44] <danj> Any CUPS-guru got some time to help me share my printer over the net (cant get it work :( ) ????????????????????????????
[21:44] <Frailmage> I want a server to host FTP, but I tried apache with windows (got a head ache and decided to give Ubuntu a try) and with linux setting it up even with an FAQ went far over my head.
[21:44] <miguel__> alguien de aqui tiene la xbox360?
[21:44] <Seveas> Frailmage, apache isn't ftp
[21:44] <jpatrick> !ftpd | Frailmage
[21:44] <ubotu> Frailmage: FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd, MuddleFTPd, wzdftpd - Graphical front-ends: PureAdmin, GProftpd (for GNOME), KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP

[21:44] <ccharles`> Frailmage: apache is a Web server, not FTP
[21:44] <ccharles`> Frailmage: try vsftpd
[21:45] <NB2000> Frailmage:  Quite different animals.
[21:45] <Frailmage> Sorry new at servers also, I want a server to host a site where I can receive my files from any where, and store other bits of data to retreive.
[21:45] <DaRe_DeViL> when i type whois to see my own nick i see a word tufffy.. how can i cahnge this word
[21:45] <mDemocritus> Frailmage: vsftpd is the easiest-to-configure ftp server that i've ever tried
[21:45] <Jezz> it looks pretty good, better than windows imo
[21:45] <Frailmage> Okay thanks
[21:45] <jpatrick> DaRe_DeViL: change your ident in your client
[21:46] <NB2000> Frailmage:  I would suggest a lamp server install and add vsftpd.
[21:46] <Jezz> hope it gets easier over time coz i find it more frustrating than windows :O
[21:46] <DaRe_DeViL> patrick but how
[21:46] <jpatrick> DaRe_DeViL: which client de you use?
[21:46] <Flannel> Frailmage: is it just you personally who will be connecting?
[21:46] <DaRe_DeViL> im using x-chat gnome
[21:47] <jpatrick> DaRe_DeViL: hmm, I use irssi, sorry, don't know
[21:47] <Frailmage> Yes but I am going to be connecting from several different computers (along with different operating systems)
[21:47] <DaRe_DeViL> so we cant do that here by irc commands?
[21:47] <mDemocritus> Frailmage: ftp is the best way to go then...
[21:47] <DaRe_DeViL> and do u advice ur client jpatrick?
[21:47] <Frailmage> Okay then, thank you.
