[09:55] <ActionParsnip> lakitu: whatever you fancy
[09:55] <dada_> Someone can tell me the solution?
[09:55] <lakitu> ActionParsnip: ok. the regular mode is effed, so i must choose recovery, because that's what i'm using to fix the regular mode
[09:55] <Slart> dada_: many ACPI-implementations are broken, non-standard or windows-adapted.. so not all play nice with other os's
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> dada_: some systems need acpi disabled to get installed but riun ok with it on with the installed system
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> lakitu: fine
[09:56] <travman> I just tried to create a shared folder and ubuntu told me I don't have permission
[09:56] <lakitu> ActionParsnip: dang, same problem
[09:56] <travman> and to ask my administrators to give me permission
[09:56] <travman> I am the administrator...
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> lakitu: do you get dhcp?
[09:56] <dada_> thanks
[09:56] <lakitu> let me check
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> lakitu: can you see eth0
[09:56] <FatalError> lakitu, try: dhcpcd eth0
[09:57] <firestorm_> how can i check on the command line if a certain program is installed?
[09:57] <FatalError> lakitu, after bringing it up, oc course
[09:57] <Mr_Fixit> how do i set permissions or a copied /www/ or /ftp/ to the right permissions?
[09:57] <Slart> firestorm_: dpkg -l | grep -i progamname perhaps?
[09:57] <Mr_Fixit> *of
[09:57] <firestorm_> Slart: was thinkin something more apt-get related
[09:58] <lbo_ken> mr fixit what permission do you wanna set hit?
[09:58] <FatalError> firestorm_, aptitude search <stuff to find>
[09:58] <|Dreams|> I am trying to et my laptop to connect to my router on boot but when i enter all the manual info into network manager it just doesnt connect itself
[09:58] <lakitu> ActionParsnip: i can see eth0 if i ifconfig
[09:59] <lakitu> after i did the ifconfig eth0 up
[09:59] <Mr_Fixit> lbo_ken,  which ever permissions are normal for www and ftp
[09:59] <lakitu> now
[09:59] <mircaholic> hi i get this: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install ntfs-config

[09:59] <FloodBot1> mircaholic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> lakitu: what ip does it have?
[09:59] <mircaholic> is there any problem?
[09:59] <Slart> firestorm_: apt-cache search --installed <packagename> might work too
[09:59] <firestorm_> ah
[09:59] <firestorm_> k
[09:59] <lakitu> FatalError: i can't do dhcpcd eth0, because it says it's not installed
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[09:59] <firestorm_> thats what i was lookin for
[09:59] <FatalError> lakitu, then try: dhclient eth0
[09:59] <firestorm_> thanks
[10:00] <lakitu> ActionParsnip: it doesn't say one
[10:00] <mircaholic> Reading state information... Done
[10:00] <mircaholic> E: Couldn't find package ntfs-3g
[10:00] <lakitu> altho it has recieved 120 bytes
[10:00] <lakitu> =)
[10:00] <mircaholic> is it working?
[10:00] <lakitu> FatalError: ok
[10:00] <lakitu> ok, that's doing it's thing
[10:00] <Slart> !info ntfs-3g
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> lakitu: ok then you need to need to add the install cd as a repo and install dhcpd
[10:01] <mircaholic> ubottu: what should i do now?
[10:01] <mircaholic> can some one help me step by step?
[10:01] <FatalError> ActionParsnip, dhclient will do fine also
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[10:01] <r2s1> got a little problem again.. haha
[10:01] <FatalError> lakitu, did it work?
[10:01] <r2s1> ActionParsnip: got a little problem again.. haha
[10:01] <lakitu> ah, wait - ActionParsnip, now when i ifconfig, after doing FatalError's dhclient command, it shows my inet addr: <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:02] <lakitu> FatalError: i believe so
[10:02] <BlueEagle> mircaholic: ubotu is a bot, not a person.
[10:02] <FatalError> lakitu, good, that means it worked -- you should now have network access
[10:02] <lakitu> FatalError: oh ok =)
[10:02] <lakitu> i will try
[10:02] <mircaholic> i get these: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[10:02] <r2s1> ActionParsnip:  what if the connection from GW1 was connected again how my script restore the old route table?
[10:02] <lakitu> ActionParsnip: do i still need to do that?
[10:02] <mircaholic> oops
[10:02] <iarmolatii> Hey guys can anyone help go poco-a-poco with me in installing cacti?? I've spend few days working till 4 am..
[10:02] <mircaholic> i get this: Get:8 http://security.ubuntu.com feisty-security/main Sources [26.2kB]
[10:02] <mircaholic> Get:9 http://archive.ubuntu.com feisty/restricted Packages [7628B]
[10:02] <BlueEagle> mircaholic: change the ; for &&
[10:02] <ninjafury> guys, I have an external drive, and it wont automount. I have to plug it out and in all the time for it to mount. Any way round this?
[10:02] <mircaholic> there r lots other lines similar like this
[10:03] <lakitu> AH! back in business =)
[10:03] <lakitu> great
[10:03] <lakitu> thanks ActionParsnip, & FatalError. my hopes you'll be promoted
[10:03] <lakitu> =)
[10:03] <ActionParsnip> r2s1: you could make it copy back if the connection comes back up, yo could have a varible to monitor wich connection is used
[10:03] <mircaholic> is it working?
[10:03] <mircaholic> Get:8 http://security.ubuntu.com feisty-security/main Sources [26.2kB]
[10:03] <mircaholic> Get:9 http://archive.ubuntu.com feisty/restricted Packages [7628B]
[10:03] <lbo_ken> Mr_Fixit well for  /www/ i would do   sudo chmo 775  var/www  and for   the ftp give the  last one the right 770 (and when you add somone to  the ftp set them in the ftp group   (or if you want a open ftp   put it as 777 (all permission )  (wish is risky tho)
[10:03] <FatalError> lakitu, np ;P good luck fixing your box
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> lakitu: yes as you are not getting dhcp
[10:04] <lakitu> altho it still failed to get 'some' - is that bad?
[10:04] <lakitu> ActionParsnip: ah ok
[10:04] <Dobriak> where was the option to be able to login as root in KDE?
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> lakitu: you could set it as staitic to get online
[10:04] <r2s1> ActionParsnip:  hmm (thinking)
[10:04] <Dobriak> no, in gnome
[10:04] <FatalError> ActionParsnip, see above.. DHCP worked.
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> Dobriak: you dont, its the worst thing to do
[10:04] <mircaholic> BlueEagle: so whats next?
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> FatalError: can you ping stuff?
[10:05] <lakitu> FatalError: is it bad if some failed?
[10:05] <Dobriak> ActionParsnip, where is the option?
[10:05] <lakitu> ActionParsnip: i'll try to ping
[10:05] <lbo_ken> oups i sayed chmo but its schmod
[10:05] <lbo_ken> chmod
[10:05] <lakitu> ActionParsnip: yes i can
[10:05] <FatalError> lakitu, some of what failed?
[10:05] <BlueEagle> mircaholic: I'm not even sure what you're trying to accomplish.
[10:05] <lakitu> ActionParsnip: & it downloaded most packages
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> Dobriak: you need to log in as you then run sudo passwd. Its your system but its really not advised or necessary as you have sudo which makes your pc more secure
[10:06] <Dobriak> ActionParsnip, ok, so , where's the option?
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> Dobriak: running your x server as root will make you easier to get high priveledges and can also make you damage your system
[10:06] <lakitu> FatalError: um, http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/dists/hardy/non-free/binary-i386/packages.gz 302 found
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> Dobriak: like i said, log in as you run sudo passwd and you can set the root pass, then you can log on as root and break your pc all you want
[10:06] <lakitu> ("W: failed to fetch $addr)
[10:06] <mircaholic> i give up
[10:06] <Dobriak> ActionParsnip, I just want to have the option in login screen
[10:06] <lakitu> "
[10:06] <mircaholic> i hate linux
[10:07] <mircaholic> its not user friendly
[10:07] <lakitu> ActionParsnip: for example
[10:07] <r2s1>  ActionParsnip: dude last thing.. is there a console command to show the current internet IP address??
[10:07] <mircaholic> doesnt have user friendly interfaces
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> r2s1: ifconfig
[10:07] <lakitu> let me try rebooting
[10:07] <r2s1> ActionParsnip: like whatismyip.com does
[10:07] <MrKennie> I do
[10:07] <lakitu> see if it worked
[10:07] <dada_> funny
[10:07] <FatalError> lakitu, it's an HTTP error.. probably a bad URL. apt-get update, then try again
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> lakitu: ifconfig
[10:07] <r2s1> ActionParsnip: I mean from workstation script
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> and what FatalError says
[10:08] <Slart> r2s1: ifconfig will only give you your internal ip.. whatismyip gives you the external ip.. they will be the same if your computer is directly connected to the net
[10:08] <mircaholic> Slart: can u help?
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> r2s1: you're gonna be awking like mad
[10:08] <Slart> mircaholic: with ntfs?
[10:08] <mircaholic> yeah
[10:08] <r2s1>  ActionParsnip: yeah that's how I see it
[10:08] <mircaholic> trying to delete this file on ntfs partition
[10:08] <mircaholic> i am using live cd tho
[10:08] <lakitu> FatalError ActionParsnip: it dropped me without a prompt, after pinging. now it's just making weird symbols when i push left or right, etc
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> r2s1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=373963
[10:09] <FatalError> lakitu, ctrl-c
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> lakitu: press ctrl+c
[10:09] <mircaholic> it gets confusing when different people r replying and u dont know which one to follow
[10:09] <lakitu> ok
[10:09] <lakitu> ahk, actually the pinging wasn't working
[10:09] <lakitu> 247 packets trasmitted, 0 received, etc
[10:09] <BlueEagle> mircaholic: Well you do ask alot of different people.
[10:09] <lakitu> 100% packet loss
[10:09] <FatalError> lakitu, what were you pinging?
[10:09] <lakitu> www.microsoft.com
[10:09] <Slart> mircaholic: well.. who are you talking to now?
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: you could websearch some as well as ask in here
[10:10] <FatalError> lakitu, it doesn't respond to ping for me either.  Try google.com
[10:10] <lakitu> ah - cool. ok
[10:10] <mircaholic> i have done a lot
[10:10] <mircaholic> but its so hard
[10:10] <hateball> lakitu: or try ping.sunet.se
[10:10] <mircaholic> lots of linux terms r confusing
[10:10] <ikonia> mircaholic: boot into windows to delete teh file
[10:10] <lakitu> that seems to be working, FatalError. too early to say, tho
[10:10] <jakob> leave ubuntu
[10:10] <mircaholic> i can't in windows
[10:10] <mircaholic> it won't let me
[10:11] <FatalError> lakitu, if you were able to get a 302, your networking is working fine
[10:11] <ikonia> mircaholic: why can't you delete the file in windows
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: tried safe mode?
[10:11] <lakitu> FatalError: ah ok.
[10:11] <mircaholic> yeah
[10:11] <BlueEagle> mircaholic: did you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions ?
[10:11] <mircaholic> doesnt work either
[10:11] <mircaholic> BlueEagle: i did
[10:11] <ikonia> mircaholic: if you can't delete the file on a native NTFS file system in windows then I would not advise trying to do it in linux
[10:11] <lakitu> FatalError: i believe i shall reboot & see if the apt-get restored my video drivers i accidently removed
[10:11] <BlueEagle> mircaholic: and after installing ntfs-3g did you mount the drive?
[10:11] <FatalError> lakitu, ah ;P
[10:11] <mircaholic> BlueEagle:  well i dont know whats next
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: my only suggestion is take out the drive and put it in another pc as a data drive then delete it
[10:12] <Dobriak> how do I autologin?
[10:12] <ikonia> Dobriak: it's in the gdm setup
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: id also suggest a chkdsk as the data may be corrupted and unremovable because of
[10:12] <mircaholic> BlueEagle: by the way is it successfully installed?
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: either way id head over to ##windows
[10:12] <ikonia> Dobriak: use the login window administration application
[10:12] <Dobriak> ikonia, where's that?
[10:12] <ikonia> Dobriak: system -> administration
[10:12] <mircaholic> i did for chkdsk
[10:12] <BlueEagle> mircaholic: if you try: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g and it sais it's already installed then it's installed.
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> Dobriak: i'll stress again, do not auto login as root
[10:13] <mircaholic> BlueEagle: i get this error ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -o remount,rw /ntfs/mount/point
[10:13] <mircaholic> mount: can't find /ntfs/mount/point in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[10:13] <mircaholic> oh wait
[10:13] <mircaholic> oops
[10:13] <lakitu> ActionParsnip: dang, still no video drivers.. just a blank monitor for the drumup login
[10:13] <mircaholic> wrong one
[10:13] <mircaholic> i get this: Reading state information... Done
[10:13] <mircaholic> E: Couldn't find package ntfs-3g
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: you need to make a folder
[10:14] <FatalError> lakitu, did that apt-get ever succeed?
[10:14] <mircaholic> so does that mean its unsuccessful?
[10:14] <lakitu> FatalError: not the ones that didn't work
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: to mount to
[10:14] <ikonia> mircaholic why can you not delete this file in windows ?
[10:14] <mircaholic> make folder where?
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: no it failed
[10:14] <mircaholic> on my desktop is fine?
[10:14] <FatalError> lakitu, well, it won't install if any of them fail
[10:14] <zj3t3mju> are you enable any repo?
[10:14] <lakitu> FatalError: i did modify my sources.list, so is that maybe why?
[10:14] <lakitu> FatalError: ah ok
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: wherever you want to mount to. You can mount the ntfs folder anywhere yuo please
[10:14] <BlueEagle> !repos | mircaholic
[10:14] <Slart> r2s1: did you want your external ip from command line?
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: id suggest using /mnt/windows
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: i'll spoonfeed you to save frustration
[10:15] <BlueEagle> mircaholic: You need to enable universe I think.
[10:15] <Slart> r2s1: you can try running this.. "wget http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp -O - -q"
[10:15] <FatalError> FatalError, that may need fixed -- but you need to apt-get update to make sure you have the latest packages lists.. if it still doesn't work you may need to fix sources.list to point to another location for that repo
[10:15] <FatalError> er
[10:15] <FatalError> lakitu, ^
[10:15] <FatalError> sorry, is 5 am here lol
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: what /dev is your windows partition?
[10:15] <mircaholic> whats universe now?
[10:15] <mircaholic> :\
[10:15] <BlueEagle> mircaholic: There is a lot of reading to be done when starting to use linux so please be patient.
[10:15] <mircaholic> hey i am total newb
[10:15] <mircaholic> i havent heard all these new terms
[10:16] <BlueEagle> mircaholic: It's a repository. Please read the links ubottu provided.
[10:16] <lakitu> FatalError: ok...
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: universe is a class of repository, you dont need to worry about it
[10:16] <r2s1> Slart: thanks a lot dude
[10:16] <Dobriak> ActionParsnip, I am autologinning as root whaoha!!!
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: do you know wat /dev your windows partitin is?
[10:16] <mircaholic> i know i dont need to worry but how to enable it
[10:16] <Dobriak> that's cool
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> Dobriak: unlucky
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> Dobriak: its very not cool
[10:16] <Slart> r2s1: you're welcome. that url might change.. check http://www.whatismyip.com/automation.asp for info
[10:16] <Dobriak> ActionParsnip, work good
[10:16] <mircaholic> ActionParsnip: how can i find that out?
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: sudo fdisk -l
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> Dobriak: you'll see
[10:17] <Dobriak> ActionParsnip, hey , this is not some atomic station or a bank =)
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> Dobriak: ive warned you
[10:17] <lakitu> FatalError: does that url i gave work for you?
[10:17] <mircaholic> i have sdb1,2,5,6
[10:17] <Dobriak> yeah yeah
[10:17] <mircaholic> so how do i know which one is the one i am looking for?
[10:17] <lakitu> FatalError: find "medibuntu"
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: which is the ntfs partition you want to mount?
[10:17] <FatalError> lakitu, the one that gae you a 302?
[10:17] <lakitu> yes
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: look at the disk sizes is usally a good indicator
[10:17] <travman> ok, so I've booted off the live cd.  I want to copy things around  (I'm consolidating data) between hard drives.  It's currently telling me I don't have permissions
[10:18] <BlueEagle> mircaholic: which one what? repository?
[10:18] <BlueEagle> mircaholic: (it really helps if you use complete sentences)
[10:18] <travman> is there a way for me to chmod 777 recursive on a folder?
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> travman: thats reall unsecure
[10:18] <travman> yeah, I know it's unsecure
[10:18] <Slart> travman: chmod has a -R switch
[10:18] <Beaver> hello everybody
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> travman: but its your pc so here you go. chmod -R 777 ./Foldername
[10:18] <travman> ok, say I don't want to chmod 777
[10:18] <Slart> travman: but you already knew that... since you read the man page before asking..  right? =)
[10:18] <mircaholic> i think its dev/sda
[10:18] <vallhalla81> hi there i want to install ubuntu to a usb stick i tryed this last night but it would boot to the login screen then after inputting my user name and password it would jus go to a sandy screen with a mouse pointer on it and nothing else i was able to get to a tty but not sure what to do any advise please
[10:18] <Beaver> I've got a question
[10:19] <FatalError> lakitu, I'm redirected to another page
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> travman: its a really bad idea
[10:19] <travman> could I tell it to give me sudo rights through the gui file manager?
[10:19] <BlueEagle> mircaholic: /dev/sda is a complete disk. What you want to do is mount a partition like /dev/sda1
[10:19] <mircaholic> ok i have made a folder on desktop /tmp/mirca
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: sda is a physical disk, sda1 is the first partition on that disk
[10:19] <lakitu> FatalError: ah ok. so i have an old sources.list? can i update that automagically somehow?
[10:19] <travman> or do I need to use console and sudo to do all the copying?
[10:19] <mircaholic> so tell me what to do now
[10:19] <FatalError> lakitu, you'll need to edit it yourself I think -- pastebin what you have now?
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: yu need to identify which partition name you want to mount
[10:19] <mircaholic> it has only one partition
[10:19] <FatalError> lakitu, apt-get install pastebinit
[10:20] <lakitu> ok
[10:20] <FatalError> lakitu, that might help
[10:20] <FatalError> as you have no X
[10:20] <mircaholic> ok its sda1 then
[10:20] <Beaver> how can I change the encoding of .ass subs or the encoding in the MPlayer?
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: then its /dev/sda1
[10:20] <mircaholic> there is no sda2 at all
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: sudo mkdir /mnt/windows/ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
[10:20] <mircaholic> so how do i mount it to /tmp/mirca?
[10:20] <lakitu> FatalError: ok, so pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list?
[10:20] <mircaholic> give me the complete command line in terms of my file structure
[10:21] <FatalError> lakitu, yup
[10:21] <lakitu> k
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: and you will be able to read the files by opening /mnt/windows
[10:21] <FatalError> it should give a URL
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: i just did
[10:21] <lakitu> that's so cool - ok - http://pastebin.com/f39f38760
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: can you see how logical it is? I made a folder called /mnt/windows then mounted the partition to it
[10:22] <mircaholic> is it really making directory yet?
[10:22] <mircaholic> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mkdir /mnt/windows/
[10:22] <mircaholic> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ls
[10:22] <mircaholic> Desktop  tmp
[10:22] <FloodBot1> mircaholic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:22] <BlueEagle> mircaholic: ls /mnt/
[10:22] <lakitu> FatalError: now, you should know.. ActionParsnip had me add some lines on. about 60
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> FatalError: i gave him my sources.lst file to add
[10:22] <ne2k__> now, just need to add "pastebinit" to the context menu of nautilus... ;-)
[10:22] <FatalError> lakitu, yeah it is a nifty little tool ;P
[10:23] <mircaholic> type these all in one line?>
[10:23] <mircaholic>  sudo mkdir /mnt/windows/ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> FatalError: its not editted and uses standard hardy repos
[10:23] <FatalError> ActionParsnip, er, but didn't he add medibuntu?
[10:23] <BlueEagle> mircaholic: No, those are two commands. They both start with the same word.
[10:23] <mircaholic> so do them separately?
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: sudo mkdir /mnt/windows/; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> you can use ; to string commands together on one line
[10:23] <BlueEagle> mircaholic: sudo is a command used to gain root privileges. mkdir is a command to make a directory and mount is a command to mount a partition.
[10:24] <ne2k__> mircaholic: you'd end up with some nifty-named directories if you typed all of that on one line
[10:24] <BlueEagle> mircaholic: You'll get it. Practice makes perfect.
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> ne2k__: it'd fail due to the spaces
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> ;)
[10:24] <FatalError> lakitu, wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[10:24] <mircaholic> is it successful?
[10:24] <mircaholic> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mkdir /mnt/windows; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
[10:24] <mircaholic> mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/windows': File exists
[10:24] <mircaholic> mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or /mnt/windows busy
[10:24] <mircaholic> mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is mounted on /media/disk
[10:24] <FloodBot1> mircaholic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:24] <Anarhist> how do i make ntfs-3g a default auto-mount for the usb drives rather than ntfs?
[10:24] <ne2k__> ActionParsnip: no, it would make five directories, called /mnt/windows, sudo, mount, /dev/sda1 and /mnt/windows
[10:24] <FatalError> lakitu, assuming you are on Hardy that is
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: then its already mounted
[10:25] <BlueEagle> mircaholic: Can you please read the messages you get?
[10:25] <lakitu> FatalError: hardy <=> 8.x, right?
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: head over to /media/disk
[10:25] <Anarhist> !3g
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: does that look better?
[10:25] <Anarhist> !ntfs-3g
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> Anarhist: yeah we're getting there
[10:25] <BlueEagle> mircaholic: "/dev/sda1 is already mounted on /media/disk". That means that the device (/dev/sda1) which you attempted to mount with "mount /dev/sda1" is already mounted on the directory "/media/disk".
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> Anarhist: :D
[10:25] <FatalError> lakitu, 8.04 I believe
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> BlueEagle: nice overkill ;)
[10:26] <firestorm> umm
[10:26] <BlueEagle> mircaholic: Thus, if you try to go to /media/disk you will find the files on /dev/sda1 there.
[10:26] <firestorm> i dont seem to have any sound except in rhythm..
[10:26] <BlueEagle> ActionParsnip: Sometimes a teaspoon is too big.
[10:26] <lakitu> FatalError: i have 8.x (i don't know which version) - i got a disc, & that's what it said
[10:26] <Anarhist> AccessExcess, you mean that it's not yet possible?
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> BlueEagle: i know but its really frustrating
[10:26] <mircaholic> yeah i can see the files now
[10:27] <lakitu> FatalError: i will, try tho
[10:27] <lakitu> i assume it's hardy
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: ok now the mounting is already managed for you
[10:27] <BlueEagle> ActionParsnip: I know. It's like he's a customer.
[10:27] <FatalError> lakitu, most likely Hardy then -- cat /etc/lsb-release
[10:27] <yao_ziyuan> !tmp
[10:27] <BlueEagle> ActionParsnip: Customer is defined as "person with acute reading-disability".
[10:27] <yao_ziyuan> !temp
[10:27] <paul68> BlueEagle: can I msg you in pvt?
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: once you get ntfs-3g you can mount that sucker writable and delete the file (if possible)
[10:27] <yao_ziyuan> does linux/ubuntu automatically clean /tmp at session end?
[10:27] <BlueEagle> go ahead paul68. :)
[10:27] <ne2k__> I have a weird problem with Rhythmbox 0.11.5. I have used it to subscribe to a podcast (itms://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/...), and it is able to download and play the podcasts, but once it has finished downloading it says "Failed", and I can't copy the file to my iPod. if I look in the podcasts directory the file is there and plays fine in Totem. what's going on?
[10:27] <lakitu> FatalError: yep, hardy
[10:27] <Anarhist> yao_ziyuan, yes,
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: as I said, ntfs is a proprietary POS and only MS know how it truly works
[10:28] <FatalError> lakitu, try that command, then apt-get update, then try installing your stuff again
[10:28] <Anarhist> yao_ziyuan, it does at reboot at least
[10:28] <yao_ziyuan> Anarhist: good
[10:28] <mircaholic> still can't delete the file
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: so if there are some weird permissions, you will not be able to remove it
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: its mounted read only right now as you dont have ntfs-3g
[10:28] <FatalError> lakitu, if it still is broken, try commenting out the medibuntu stuff in sources.list, then try the same update/install again
[10:29] <mircaholic> rm SoundMAX.bmp
[10:29] <mircaholic> rm: cannot remove `SoundMAX.bmp': Read-only file system
[10:29] <mircaholic> i am testing on this file
[10:29] <mircaholic> so how do i mount it as writable?
[10:29] <SeanConnery> it should auto mount as writable, but make sure your ntfs filesystem is "clean"
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: its mounted read only as you dont have ntfs-3g so you wont be able to delete or create ANY files
[10:29] <pen> help, I can't install zsh-lovers
[10:29] <mircaholic> how to get ntfs-3g?
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: you need ntfs-3g to be able to write and delete files
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ntfs-config
[10:30] <blackgraz> mircaholic: also get a ubuntu book
[10:30] <lakitu2> FatalError: still same problem

[10:33] <ghaleb> blackgraz:  yes at launchpad
[10:33] <mircaholic> ok searching ... what should i look for?
[10:33] <blackgraz> ghaleb: you search for it?
[10:33] <lakitu2> http://pastebin.com/f39f38760
[10:34] <methods> any reason a dual core 64bit system running ubuntu 32 bit might cause most videos to play slowly ?
[10:34] <sancho21> Where should I put mount points? /mnt ? or... /media ?
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> methods: have you installed your video driver?
[10:34] <Xcerca> methods...   did you not want to use the 64bit version ?
[10:34] <mircaholic> i get few in the lists now
[10:34] <ghaleb> blackgraz: at default sources.list , apt gives only 1.1.7
[10:34] <Xcerca> it would work better
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> sancho21: you can have it anywhere except /proc
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> sancho21: literally
[10:35] <methods> Xcerca:  i dont want to deal with not having packages built for 64bit.... but i dont think this should really be a problem
[10:35] <IrishDavid> hey, where can i get hold of bin-utils for ubuntu?
[10:35] <Slart> methods: not really.. but some stuff isn't available in 64bit
[10:35] <methods> ActionParsnip:  yes i do ... lowand some videos work fine but most video apps act rather s
[10:35] <sancho21> I mean, what is the purpose of both directories?
[10:35] <blackgraz> FreeRadius2.0.2-server
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> methods: are they of a particular type? sounds like you need codecs
[10:35] <blackgraz> ?
[10:35] <sancho21> ActionParsnip: I mean, what is the purpose of both directories?
[10:35] <blackgraz> !info FreeRadius2.0.2-server
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: ok read the decriptions one will say ntfs-3g-udeb
[10:35] <Xcerca> methods , i use the 64 bit version , you just have to use force architectute and everything i have works awesome
[10:35] <blackgraz> doh
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: actually try that in terminal
[10:36] <methods>  Xcerca force architectute ?
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g-udeb
[10:36] <MrKennie> I've not used force arch once
[10:36] <blackgraz> ghaleb: you think about being a man and compling the source?
[10:37] <Xcerca> most packages aren't specificly for 32 or 64 bit in the repo , but if you find one that is then after you have the .deb you can use --forcearchitecture in the install command
[10:37] <MrKennie> but then, everything I need is in a repo somewhere.
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> you asically need that package, the mounting has been done for you, you just need the extra package
[10:37] <mircaholic> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g-udeb

[10:42] <lakitu2> ActionParsnip: any other ideas? situation: some .gz files are failing to be fetched..

[10:53] <ferronica> ikonia: what ......
[10:53] <MrKennie> 8.04 is hardy
[10:53] <ikonia> mircaholic: show me the output of lsb_release -a
[10:53] <mircaholic> well no one asked me before
[10:53] <ferronica> ikonia: i am the only user here
[10:54] <blackgraz> man
[10:54] <ikonia> ferronica the user "student" is not in the admin group
[10:54] <blackgraz> i gotta get to work
[10:54] <user01> fg
[10:54] <mircaholic> this one?
[10:54] <mircaholic> Release:        7.04
[10:54] <mircaholic> Codename:       feisty
[10:54] <FatalError> lakitu, cool.  Try installing
[10:54] <ikonia> ferronica: thats why sudo is failing
[10:54] <ikonia> mircaholic: ntfs-3g is not stable enough to use for write acces in 7.04
[10:54] <ferronica> ikonia: how to add now student to admin group
[10:54] <soneil> Is it possible to install ubuntu in such a state that it'll offer to setup user accounts *after* install rather than during?  (such as you'd expect to receive a new PC from a vendor)
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: youeah you're about 2 or 3 behind the rest
[10:54] <FatalError> lakitu, or is that what you were referring to
[10:54] <milligan_> what size of the ball is the most common for adult rugby ?
[10:54] <ikonia> ferronica how and why did you remove it
[10:54] <lakitu> FatalError: well, i did apt-get update
[10:54] <centr0> is there a way to bring back the migrate documents and settings screen after initial install?
[10:55] <ikonia> soneil it only installs one account
[10:55] <blackgraz> centr0: dont format the HD
[10:55] <lakitu> FatalError: should i see if my video drivers are restored?
[10:55] <mircaholic> so mine is intrepid?
[10:55] <FatalError> lakitu, ah ok, well if it indicated no errors, try the install again
[10:55] <ferronica> ikonia: i think i did it from "users and group" accidently :(
[10:55] <ikonia> mircaholic no fesity
[10:55] <lakitu> FatalError: done
[10:55] <blackgraz> centr0: just mount it
[10:55] <BlueEagle> ikonia: isn't there an OEM option on the alternate install disc?
[10:55] <ferronica> ikonia: thats my mistake :(
[10:55] <FatalError> lakitu, you will need to run the install first.. update just fetches the new package lists
[10:55] <mircaholic> u didnt say fiesty before :\
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: no its feisty which is old. Hardy is much friendlier
[10:55] <FatalError> lakitu, ah, then yes try it
[10:55] <lakitu> FatalError: sorry, what is the command?
[10:55] <mircaholic> ok where can i download hardy?
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: you could update to hardy then try
[10:55] <FatalError> lakitu, command for what?
[10:55] <BlueEagle> mircaholic: ubuntu.com
[10:55] <ikonia> ferronica ok - you need to boot into "recvoery" mode and type this command "usermod -G admin student" then reboot
[10:56] <mircaholic> how come its already old...
[10:56] <soneil> ikonia: that's all I need, but I'd rather after install rather than during  (so I can donate a machine with a usable OS, but not configured)
[10:56] <mircaholic> i got this last year
[10:56] <lakitu> FatalError: oh, you mean i gotta know the package name?
[10:56] <ikonia> BlueEagle yes but it will still need 1 account due to root being disabled
[10:56] <mircaholic> i was sent free
[10:56] <centr0> blackgraz, cmd = ?   ..  mount /dev/sda1?
[10:56] <FatalError> lakitu, yes.. what were you installing before??
[10:56] <BlueEagle> mircaholic: Things move fast in the linux world.
[10:56] <ferronica> ikonia: just now i rebooted in recovery mode
[10:56] <mircaholic> anyway... tell me other methods to get rid of this file
[10:56] <ikonia> soneil just make the account a genric one like "setup"
[10:56] <lakitu> FatalError: i was hoping it would auto reinstall my video drivers, since i accidently uninstalled them
[10:56] <ikonia> soneil: if you don't setup one user at install time how can you expect to login
[10:56] <mircaholic> i know another method to set the hard drive as slave and delete it
[10:57] <ikonia> mircaholic: use antivirus in windows
[10:57] <FatalError> lakitu, how did you uninstall them? and what video card?
[10:57] <mircaholic> but i dont have another HD
[10:57] <MrKennie> mircaholic: better to ask in ##windows
[10:57] <mircaholic> oh it won't help
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: rip out hard drive and put it in another PC, take ownership of the file after virus scanning then delete
[10:57] <BlueEagle> ikonia: That is true. But as I recall (not sure if it was ubuntu tho) the oem install created that account after the system was installed and gave it access to sudo.
[10:57] <soneil> ikonia: I was thinking along the lines of the firstrun wizzards on redhat, windows, macos, etc
[10:57] <ferronica> ikonia: should i type now usermod -G admin student
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: if you have an XP cd you could use BartPE
[10:57] <mircaholic> i dont have another pc
[10:57] <ikonia> soneil: doesn't work/install like that
[10:57] <mircaholic> i have xp cd
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: i'd ask in ##windows
[10:57] <ikonia> ferronica: yes
[10:57] <ikonia> mircaholic: please join ##windows for windows support
[10:57] <mircaholic> where is this BartPE?
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: you can use your XP cd to make a bootable xp
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> on a cd
[10:58] <ferronica> ikonia: usermod: unable to lock password file
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> you can then boot to that and do whatever
[10:58] <mircaholic> is it possible to make bootable xp
[10:58] <mircaholic> ?
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> yes
[10:58] <ikonia> ferronica: show me "id"
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> with bartPE
[10:58] <mircaholic> just like live ubuntu cd
[10:58] <BlueEagle> soneil: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu_OEM_Installer_Overview
[10:58] <mircaholic> where is this bartPE?
[10:58] <ikonia> mircaholic: PLEASE join ##windows for windows support
[10:58] <mircaholic> :(

[10:59] <ikonia> ferronica: your not in recover mode
[10:59] <ikonia> recovery mode
[10:59] <BlueEagle> soneil: I think that's what you want.
[10:59] <lakitu> FatalError: i got compiz-fusion, but it wasn't working. so i tried downloading x.org ati drivers, that screwed up my system. so i went into recovery shell, & uninstalled what i thought was that package. well that made it so even my login wasn't being displayed (blank monitor), so i need to reinstall something like ati video drivers, that came with it
[10:59] <soneil> BlueEagle: that looks ideal; thanks
[10:59] <BlueEagle> soneil: You're welcome.
[10:59] <lakitu> FatalError: isn't there any way to restore basic packages?
[10:59] <lakitu> something "essential" or something, i forget
[10:59] <ferronica> ikonia: from GRUB i selected in Recovery
[10:59] <zenderady> could someone please tell me what i should use in order to instal ubuntu MOBILE on my eeE?
[10:59] <centr0> grub doesnt show windows as one of the OS' that can boot!  oh no! haha.
[10:59] <ikonia> ferronica: you need to select recovery then "recover shell"
[11:00] <FatalError> lakitu, ouch. Hm.  which ATI card? you can try the radeon driver
[11:00] <ferronica> ikonia: ok
[11:00] <BlueEagle> lakitu: dpkg reconfiger xorg or somesuch
[11:00] <lakitu> FatalError: yes, it's a radeon x2600 i believe
[11:00] <Nhorning> hi
[11:00] <ferronica> ikonia: brb
[11:00] <lakitu> FatalError: or 2600x
[11:00] <Tux2K8> hi
[11:00] <Nhorning> anybody know how to mount a drive in the live cd and get write access?
[11:00] <Tux2K8> pthread belongs to the linux API right?
[11:01]  * ActionParsnip takes a breather
[11:01] <FatalError> lakitu, apt-get install xserver-xorg-driver-radeon
[11:01] <lakitu> ActionParsnip: good work, thanks
[11:01] <FatalError> lakitu, this is the open source one, I believe
[11:01] <lakitu> ok, FatalError
[11:01] <dustman> hi
[11:01] <BlueEagle> !hi | dustman
[11:01]  * MrKennie offers ActionParsnip a towel
[11:01]  * ActionParsnip glugs his coffee
[11:02] <FatalError> lakitu, I'm hopping in the shower, back in ~15 or so
[11:02] <lakitu> FatalError: k, thanks man
[11:02] <FatalError> np
[11:02] <dustman> why two lines in .profile, "SHELL=/bin/pdksh" and "export SHELL" crash X session after restart?
[11:03] <ikonia> dustman: is that on ubuntu ?
[11:03] <dustman> 8.04
[11:03] <lakitu> YES
[11:03] <lakitu> back
[11:03] <dustman> on amd64
[11:03] <lakitu> sorry - not you ikonia
[11:04] <ikonia> dustman: and you've set that in your .bash_profile or your .profile ?
[11:04] <mircaholic> how about WinPE?
[11:04] <mircaholic> is it any good?
[11:04] <ikonia> mircaholic: stop
[11:04] <dustman> .profile
[11:04] <ikonia> mircaholic: please take that to ##windows
[11:04] <Ven]n> what are the commands to restart wireless devices etc? i tried to put it in monitor mode etc but it didnt work.. now i dont have internet :p
[11:04] <ikonia> dustman: what is your default shell in /etc/passwd
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> mircaholic: yeah same bag
[11:04] <dustman> ikonia: bash
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> Ven]n: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[11:05] <lakitu> FatalError: hm.. doesn't seem to be the one, hangs after login
[11:05] <zenderady> if i want to install ubuntu mobile what should i use MID or IMAGE to install?
[11:05] <ikonia> dustman: ok - so in theory when you boot you should get a bash shell that launches your .bash_profile and should ignore your .profile until you switch to ksh - agree/disagree ?
[11:05] <Ven]n> ActionParsnip, thanks.. *memorizing*
[11:05] <dustman> ikonia: dunno
[11:06] <dustman> ikonia: for sh and clones .profiles should be first
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> Ven]n: its not hard, the /etc/init.d contains scripts to bring stuff up
[11:06] <heret|c> anyone know anything about the nvidia binary drivers and real-time kernels ?
[11:06] <Nhorning> little help here..
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> Ven]n: including stuff like samba too
[11:06] <ikonia> dustman: for aguments sake, please delete your .profile and put the info in .bash_prfile OR change your default shell in /etc/passwd
[11:06] <Nhorning> I'm still trying to update ibex from the hardy live cd
[11:06] <Ven]n> ActionParsnip, i know :)
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> Ven]n: you could create a symlink in /usr/bin if you wanted so you dont have to bother
[11:06] <ikonia> dustman: agreed but your default is bash, so bash will be invoked until you manually use ksh
[11:06] <zetheroo-ubuntu> hi .. can someone help me repair grub?
[11:06] <ikonia> zetheroo-ubuntu: what's the sisue
[11:06] <Nhorning> dustman?
[11:06] <ikonia> issue
[11:06] <Ven]n> ActionParsnip, know that too.. thanks :)
[11:06] <dustman> ikonia: yep
[11:06] <Nhorning> do you remember me from last night?
[11:07] <dustman> ikonia: brb
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> Ven]n: as i say. I take nothing as given
[11:07] <Ven]n> ActionParsnip, lol
[11:07] <Ven]n> ActionParsnip, wise choice here
[11:07] <zetheroo-ubuntu> ikonia: its not showing the Windows XP Pro as a dual boot option
[11:07] <ikonia> zetheroo-ubuntu has it eve ?
[11:07] <ikonia> ever
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> zetheroo-ubuntu: did you have xp installed first then install ubuntu?
[11:08] <|CMbPT|> can anyone tell me if there are any known issues with geforce 6800Gt and ubuntu?
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | |CMbPT|
[11:08] <ikonia>  |CMbPT| there are issues with the 6800's ans specific nvidia driver versions
[11:08] <hml> is there a command that will tell me what prog is associated with a given port / line that I see from "netstat -l" ?
[11:08] <zetheroo-ubuntu> ikonia: well I installed Windows Xp Pro after the machine had Ubuntu on it ... then I restored GRUB using SGD and am aboe to boot into Ubuntu ... but there is not listing for Windows
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> hml: netstat -a shows active ports
[11:08] <ikonia> hml: not really, /etc/service maps ports to services
[11:08] <hml> ActionParsnip: I wasnt the process id
[11:09] <lakitu> is there any command to reinstall the *default* video drivers, that come with it, so i can at least work in the DE?
[11:09] <ikonia> zetheroo-ubuntu: you'll need to manually configure your menu.lst
[11:09] <hml> i.e, i want the quiv of lsof, eexcept for network connections
[11:09] <lakitu> that come with ubuntu
[11:09] <ikonia> !grub > zetheroo-ubuntu
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> hml: after finding the PID, use ps -ef | grep <name>
[11:09] <hml> ActionParsnip , ikonia : I want to know that process is connected to that tiven line
[11:09] <hml> ActionParsnip: how do I get the pid ?
[11:09] <ikonia> zetheroo-ubuntu: in future I suggest you don't use super grub cd, but an ubuntu live cd to restore grub
[11:09] <zetheroo-ubuntu> ikonia : can I pastebin it to you?
[11:09] <MrKennie> ActionParsnip: hah, I never knew there were known issues with the 6800gt's. I thought my card was broken :S (it's a bit tatty)
[11:09] <ikonia> hml ps -ef
[11:09] <ikonia> zetheroo-ubuntu: I don't know your system so it's pointless
[11:09] <zetheroo-ubuntu> private message?
[11:09] <ikonia> zetheroo-ubuntu: if you read the url ubottu sent you it should explain how to add windows
[11:10] <ikonia> zetheroo-ubuntu: don't need to use a pm
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> MrKennie: you may find weirdness like the 6800GS will be ok. Its a weird thing with compatibility like that
[11:10] <MrKennie> ActionParsnip: in my case teh whole box hangs
[11:10] <hml> here's my problem: I see a line from "netstat -ln", that looks something like "tcp4 69 a.b.c.d.:port a.b.c.d:port ..." <-- and I want to know what pid corresponding to that
[11:10] <dustman> ikonia: you was right
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> MrKennie: tried envyng-gtk?
[11:10] <ikonia> dustman: ahhh cool
[11:10] <ikonia> dustman: I was just about to ask
[11:10] <ferronica> ikonia: ok done
[11:10] <AdvoWork> is there any way within vim to delete all occurences of text within "" so test "tes2" test3 would show test test3?
[11:10] <ikonia> ferronica: you should be good to use sudo then
[11:10] <MrKennie> ActionParsnip: and I have to explicitly set CRT-1 as activedevice or something like that I can't remember.
[11:11] <hml> here's my problem: I see a line from "netstat -ln", that looks something like "tcp4 69 a.b.c.d.:port a.b.c.d:port ..." <-- and I want to know what pid corresponding to that; i.e. i want equiv of lsof, except for network connections
[11:11] <ferronica> ikonia: one more thing menu.lst permission granted to all :(
[11:11] <ikonia> AdvoWork: you can invoke sed patterns in vim
[11:11] <ikonia> ferronica: pardon ?
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> hml: gimme a sec
[11:11] <dustman> ikonia: well, foolish to expect identical behavior from different systems
[11:11] <MrKennie> ActionParsnip: but, but if the box will stay alive long enough I will try and swich back to nv and try it. Thanks for the tip!
[11:11] <ikonia> dustman: as long as your working - thats fine
[11:11] <dustman> ikonia: thanks for tip
[11:11] <AdvoWork> ikonia how'd u do that,never heard of it nor tried it?
[11:12] <ferronica> ikonia: menu.lst editing permission granted to all :( no sudo required
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> hml: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-183878.html
[11:12] <hml> ActionParsnip: thanks; will  look ingo it
[11:12] <ikonia> AdvoWork: for example / s'""//g' strips all "" chars
[11:12] <ferronica> ikonia: -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6078 2008-10-09 15:02 /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> MrKennie: boot to recover console and sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:12] <ikonia> ferronica: thats not wise, chmod 640 /boot/menu.lst
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> MrKennie: then you dont even run the xserver
[11:13] <AdvoWork> ikonia yeah but how do you delete "" plus its content within?
[11:13] <MrKennie> ActionParsnip: ah true, I don't tend to need to recover in linux often :)
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> MrKennie: looks like an ideal solution to me
[11:14] <ferronica> ikonia: like this "sudo chmod 644 /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[11:14] <lakitu> is installing envy a good idea?
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> lakitu: as a last ditch, Id say yes
[11:14] <ikonia> AdvoWork: check out sed, I was just giving you an example
[11:15] <ikonia> GeorgeA: 640
[11:15] <ikonia> oops
[11:15] <ikonia> ferronica: 640
[11:15] <FloodBot1> ikonia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> !envy
[11:15] <lakitu> ActionParsnip: ok, i'm having trouble finding a driver that works, for my radeon 2400 (not 2600)
[11:15] <zetheroo-ubuntu> ikonia : could you please send me that info again about GRUB
[11:15] <ferronica> ikonia: nothing changed :(
[11:15] <ikonia> !grub > zetheroo-ubuntu
[11:15] <MrKennie> ActionParsnip: oh, the option is ConnectedMonitor set to CRT-1 to solve the monitor sleeping thing.
[11:16] <ikonia> ferronica: show me ls -la /boor/grub/menu.lst
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> lakitu: websearching will help but itf all else fails use envy, you do have to rerun it after all kernel updates
[11:16] <zetheroo-ubuntu> ikonia: thank you
[11:16] <ikonia> ferronica: show me ls -la /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:16] <dasickis> for some reason when i rotate my screen, everything freezes when it comes back

[11:30] <gnufied> I have a weird problem. I login to remote machines using ssh keys, but sometimes, inspite of keys being set, ssh asks for password. often on logging out and logging back in fixes this.
[11:30] <gnufied> any idea?
[11:31] <swapna> ##xen
[11:31] <BlueEagle> gnufied: Does this happen the first time you log in only?

[11:32] <l0calh0s2> ssh
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> abo: could you not sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[11:32] <gnufied> BlueEagle, l0calh0s2 : no, not first time. its sort of random.
[11:32] <gnufied> l0calh0s2, i can't remove those keys, they are for logging into my company's amazon EC2 instances
[11:32] <ibrahim__> hello I have a problem with my iwl3945 driver on intrepid. Which is the right channel for iwl3945?
[11:33] <l0calh0s2> Ah, ok
[11:33] <BlueEagle> gnufied: Does the host you connect to use a dynamic dns or such. ie, the ip might change quite randomly?
[11:33] <lakitu> how do i read the --help without it going off screen?
[11:33] <MrKennie> !ibex | ibrahim__
[11:33] <abo> ActionParsnip, ok trying..
[11:33] <FatalError> lakitu, pipe to less
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> !intrepid | ibrahim_
[11:33] <FatalError> !less
[11:33] <FatalError> a
[11:33] <FatalError> w
[11:33] <gnufied> BlueEagle, thats true (especially of EC2 instances, which are doesn't have static IP, but even instance that has static IP, I see the same behavior)
[11:33] <FatalError> lakitu, cmd | less
[11:34] <FatalError> lakitu, if it still goes off: cmd 2>&1 | less
[11:34] <lakitu> FatalError: Sorry, I don't know anything about less. =)
[11:34] <lakitu> ok =)
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> less allows you to scroll masses of text slowly
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> press q to exit
[11:34] <gnufied> BlueEagle, i mean, yes instances, which doesn't have static ip are on dynamic ip
[11:34] <FatalError> it also lets you search
[11:34] <lakitu> cmd: command not found
[11:35] <FatalError> um, that was supposed to be "your command" you want to catch the output from
[11:35] <FatalError> ;P
[11:35] <lakitu> oh =)
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> FatalError: now that i didnt know
[11:35] <lakitu> oui
[11:35] <BlueEagle> gnufied: Well, if the ip change then that might cause ssh to get confused as to wether or not you're connecting to the "right" host.
[11:35] <FatalError> ActionParsnip, type /, then you can enter a regex
[11:35] <MrKennie> ActionParsnip: envy didn't cure the problem. I'm just going to slap an older ATI 9000 card in there for now. At least the opensource drivers work well for me with it.
[11:35] <ferronica> ikonia: are you available
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> MrKennie: sounds like a plan
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> MrKennie: i always read the hcl and forums before spending cash on hardware
[11:36] <MrKennie> ActionParsnip: I had it already
[11:36] <MrKennie> ActionParsnip: I got a 6600 and a 6800
[11:36] <souldier> msg nickserv identify denial911
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> ive got a 6200 onboard thing, works great
[11:36] <MrKennie> can't use the 6600 because it only has DVI connectors and I have no adapters.
[11:36] <lakitu> FatalError: shouldn't wget <url> work?
[11:36] <ikonia> ferronica what's up
[11:36] <FatalError> lakitu, it should
[11:37] <ferronica> ikonia: menu.lst
[11:37] <ferronica> ikonia: can you help in this :(
[11:37] <souldier> is there any way to install grub from windows xp
[11:37] <ikonia> ferronica what's up ?
[11:37] <ikonia> ferronica: I had to leave my desk
[11:37] <ikonia> souldier not really
[11:37] <lakitu> FatalError: hm. i can download from the url in this computer, but on the problem computer, it says "failed: name or service not known"
[11:37] <abo> ActionParsnip, installing some packages now...
[11:37] <ikonia> souldier: there are "hacks" but install it from a livecd
[11:37] <souldier> I installed windows xp and it i cant boot to linux, to fix the grub
[11:37] <ferronica> ikonia: -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6078 2008-10-09 16:06 /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:37] <souldier> i dont have the cd with me
[11:37] <FatalError> lakitu, if you rebooted you need to run dhclient again
[11:37] <ikonia> souldier: use the livecd
[11:38] <lakitu> i did, i think..
[11:38] <lakitu> wait maybe not
[11:38] <lakitu> ok =)
[11:38] <ikonia> ferronica do sudo touch /boot/grub/test
[11:38] <lakitu> yeah..
[11:38] <FatalError> ifconfig eth0 up && dhclient eth0
[11:38] <ferronica> ikonia: ok
[11:38] <souldier> ikonia: is there anyway to boot now into ubuntu?
[11:38] <ikonia> souldier: you'll need to use a livecd or install cd to fix it
[11:38] <lakitu> cool
[11:38] <lakitu> you were right FatalError
[11:38] <souldier> damn
[11:38] <souldier> ok
[11:38] <souldier> thanks
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> souldier: you will need  a ubuntu cd
[11:39] <ferronica> ikonia: ok done
[11:39] <ikonia> ferronica ls -la /boot/grub/test
[11:40] <multiip> can I do a server install using the desktop cd? I tried jeos, But I have problems getting through the install because of the kernel.
[11:40] <ikonia> multiip no
[11:40] <ikonia> multiip: although why do you want a server install
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> multiip: you can install desktop then install server services to it
[11:40] <ikonia> multiip: chances are your on home PC hardware that would be better suited to a desktop install
[11:40] <multiip> VM
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> multiip: theres very little difference
[11:40] <ikonia> multiip: install the desktop then remove the packages you don't want
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> multiip: you can run VM o the desktop
[11:41] <multiip> yea, thats what im thinking
[11:41] <ikonia> multiip: a desktop install make a great server
[11:41] <ferronica> ikonia: output --> -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2008-10-09 16:09 /boot/grub/test
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> multiip: as all ubuntu flavours use the same repos you can make them pretty much the same
[11:41] <ikonia> ferronica your system is in a total mess
[11:41] <ferronica> ikonia: oh
[11:41] <ikonia> ferronica: what have you done to this box
[11:41] <multiip> i run macosx, with debian serving everything samba and http
[11:41] <ferronica> ikonia: nothing
[11:41] <ikonia> ferronica: you must have
[11:42] <ikonia> ferronica: sudo rm /boot/grub/tes
[11:42] <ferronica> ikonia: just GRUB messed up
[11:42] <ikonia> ferronica: sudo rm /boot/grub/test
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> multiip: then why use a mac?
[11:42] <ferronica> ikonia: ok done
[11:43] <ikonia> ferronica: umask 022
[11:43] <multiip> I don't want to litter it with all sorts of builds of apache, php and other things.. Its neat in a VM and if i bugger it up, I can restore a backup in no time
[11:43] <ferronica> ikonia: only "umask 022"
[11:43] <ikonia> ferronica: yup
[11:44] <ferronica> ikonia: command not found
[11:44] <ikonia> ferronica: you've not got umask
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> multiip: you can do that on a cheaper system that isnt a mac
[11:44] <ikonia> ferronica which shell are you using
[11:44] <ferronica> ikonia: how to check :(
[11:45] <ikonia> ferronica do you want to explain to me what you've done to this system to make it behave like this
[11:45] <ikonia> ferronica: just type "umask" on the command line - what do you get
[11:45] <abo> ActionParsnip, done installing some packages
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> abo: ok cool
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> abo: give it a whirl
[11:46] <ferronica> ikonia: student@student-desktop:~$ unmask
[11:46] <ferronica> bash: unmask: command not found
[11:46] <ikonia> ferronica no umask
[11:46] <ikonia> not unmask
[11:46] <abo> ActionParsnip, trying a reboot
[11:46] <ferronica> ikonia: output --> 0022
[11:46] <l0calh0s2> Yeah
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> abo: gl
[11:48] <ferronica> ikonia: after umask
[11:50] <ikonia> ferronica: ok - so now "touch /boot/grub/test" - no sudo
[11:50] <gnufied> BlueEagle, but why even for static ip hosts? and As I said, if I logout out of my current gnome session and login back again and then try to ssh to those machine, it works!
[11:50] <gnufied> BlueEagle, i suspect, I am messing some environment variable
[11:50] <HeatherM> when's the next version of ubuntu?
[11:50] <ikonia> HeatherM october 2008

[11:52] <ActionParsnip> abo: you could --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[11:52] <DistroJockey> HeatherM, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/countdown
[11:52] <ikonia> ferronica: thats very worring that your making a file as a non-root user and it's showing up as root
[11:52] <ikonia> ferronica: please show me ls-la /boot
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> HeatherM: its released on about the 30th
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> HeatherM: does hardy not work for you?
[11:52] <ikonia> ferronica: please be straight with me - what have you done to this box ?
[11:53] <HeatherM> ActionParsnip, I was gonna order a cd, so I thought I better wait
[11:53] <ferronica> ikonia: really i did nothing just i used startup manager and splash manager which i uninstalled now
[11:53] <bluebug_> Let me ask you a question.  I want to install rt73 wifi driver on Ubuntu Studio 8.04.  But when I install the driver, it bump into errors "make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-rt/build: No such file or directory.".  I already installed build-essentials and linux-headers-<IP_ADDRESS>-rt.  How should I install the driver on my realtime kernel?
[11:54] <ikonia> bluebug_ look at the error
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> HeatherM: its probably faster to download unless yu are on dialup
[11:54] <ikonia> bluebug_ it's telling you what's wrong
[11:54] <ikonia>  /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-rt/build: No such file or
[11:54] <ikonia>                   directory.
[11:54] <l0calh0s2> bluebug_: check faq
[11:54] <HeatherM> ActionParsnip, I am poor=)
[11:54] <l0calh0s2> and look at forum for this driver (if avainable)
[11:54] <mein_ohr> Hey, how can i make my /dev/sda2 re-bootable?
[11:54] <ferronica> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/55569/
[11:54] <beautifulsnow> ActionParsnip,  some people have limit on how much they can download per month *sobs*
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> beautifulsnow: i know, its funny
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> HeatherM: do you have a cap?
[11:55] <sriramoman> how do i find the inode size of my file system </dev/sda1>?
[11:55] <ikonia> ferronica please show me "id"
[11:55] <HeatherM> well, it's even funnier here, I pay for each MB
[11:55] <bluebug_> ikonia, yes.  I can see the build folder on other generic kernels.  Just RT kernel has no build folder.
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> HeatherM: yikes!!
[11:55] <mein_ohr> sriramoman: fdisk
[11:55] <HeatherM> ActionParsnip, what cap?
[11:55] <ikonia> bluebug_ make one ?
[11:55] <ferronica> ikonia: uid=1000(student) gid=1000(student) groups=115(admin),1000(student)
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> HeatherM: a limit on how much data you can pull down. With you paying for data id imagine not
[11:56] <ikonia> ferronica touch /tmp/testfile (don't use sudo)
[11:56] <woozzy> hi all
[11:56] <HeatherM> ActionParsnip, I pay per, mb, and it is cheaper at night=))
[11:57] <bluebug_> ikonia, make "module" folder by myself?
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> HeatherM: not suprising. Do you not have access to a high speed link like a university or workplace ?
[11:57] <bluebug_> I'll try that.
[11:57] <ikonia> bluebug_: the build folder
[11:57] <ferronica> ikonia: ok
[11:57] <ferronica> ikonia: after that
[11:57] <ikonia> ferronica: ls -al /tmp/testfile
[11:57] <woozzy> is there a way to get the correct drivers for the laptop i am using? as at the moment it only gives me 3 resoution settings and i waanna play a game in window mode but the max resoutin 1024x768 is too small. can anyone help?
[11:57] <sriramoman> mein_ohr, "Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes" is what it shows with p. can you pls tell me the inode size from this for me
[11:57] <HeatherM> ActionParsnip, nope :(
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> HeatherM: man thats lame
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> HeatherM: them cds takes a while
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> HeatherM: good job irc is light on the data ;)

[12:05] <ActionParsnip> http://zavizionov.blogspot.com/2007/09/howto-ubuntu-intel-945-widescreen.html
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> woozzy: just dont change identifier lines
[12:06] <woozzy> ooo can help me do that?
[12:06] <bluebug_> ikonia, yeah, I found the line about build folder in Makefile.  " KERNEL_SOURCES := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build".  but I don't know what it says....
[12:07] <ikonia> ferronica one moment
[12:07] <woozzy> brb
[12:07] <ferronica> ikonia: ok
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> woozzy: gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> woozzy: add the lines for driver and PCI
[12:08] <arch1> c'e' nessuno che ha provato a linkeditare  un programma c su intrepid ?

[12:10] <FreshPrince> anybody using umtsmon or gnome-ppp?
[12:11] <swapna> how do i disconnect from all the ircs without closing the GUI?
[12:11] <swapna> please help
[12:12] <adac> What would you guys suggest me if i want to encrypt a single folder?
[12:12] <denialh> swapna: what client?
[12:12] <swapna> xchat
[12:12] <ActionParsnip> adac: yo could set permissions on it so only you can access it
[12:12] <swapna> denialh: xchat
[12:12] <denialh> rightclick the network name and click close
[12:12] <denialh> or Server -> Disconnect
[12:13] <ne2k__> denialh: why on earth does that say to right click on the name of the channel?! this kind of assumes rather a lot about the irc client, no?
[12:13] <adac> ActionParsnip: problem is that there are at least 2 people with root access
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> adac: ive never encrypted stuff tbh
[12:13] <edlv> is there any way i can view my friend's webcam??
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> adac: hmm
[12:13] <denialh> ne2k__: what are you talking about?
[12:13] <ne2k__> denialh: the #ubuntu-it blurb
[12:14] <denialh> oh right, i dunno
[12:14] <l0calh0s2> Hello
[12:14] <denialh> maybe it should be changed to type /join
[12:14] <nnull> when i booted My TOP panel, decided its gunna be at the bottom now.. by itself.. and when i do properties on it and try change it to top, it rechanges itself to bottom?
[12:14] <l0calh0s2> Someone know how to enable osd disblay in rhythmbox?
[12:14] <ActionParsnip> adac: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/crypt-manager-an-encrypted-folder-manager-for-ubuntu-linux.html
[12:14] <nnull> i tried in gconf-editor too.. no luck..
[12:14] <nnull> !rm
[12:14] <l0calh0s2> (osd should looks like "popup" when i move curosr at tray icon)
[12:14] <nnull> !.rm
[12:15] <ne2k__> denialh: maybe it should just not say anything about how to use your irc client, like all the other language ones
[12:15] <adac> ActionParsnip: I will have a look at that
[12:15] <adac> thx
[12:15] <ne2k__> !fr
[12:15] <ne2k__> !de
[12:15] <reehan> join #xen
[12:15] <bastid_raZor> l0calh0s2; you should have an icon in the top bar.. right click it and check 'show notifications'
[12:15] <ne2k__> !se
[12:15] <ne2k__> !fi
[12:15] <denialh> these are better
[12:15] <nnull> !realmedia
[12:15] <nnull> !realplayer
[12:15] <l0calh0s2> bastid_raZor: but i have i enabled, but its not display always
[12:15] <ne2k__> denialh: they don't say anything about how to use your irc client!
[12:16] <denialh> yep
[12:16] <reehan> can anyone help me to join #xen??? always i try to join there i goto ##xen
[12:16] <ne2k__> denialh: they just say to join the channel. if you're in #ubuntu you presumably worked out how to join a channel
[12:16] <l0calh0s2> And i cant configure where could it position on monitor
[12:16] <denialh> well, most people that use non-gui irc clients are intelligent enough to figure they can't rightclick ;-)
[12:16] <ne2k__> denialh: still, it's pointless
[12:16] <zerozzz> <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:16] <denialh> yep
[12:16] <multiip> is there a package that allows one multiple shells within a shell?
[12:16] <denialh> maybe all italians use x-chat
[12:16] <jeeves> how would I find out why Firefox keeps crashing?
[12:17] <jrib> !screen | multiip
[12:17] <l0calh0s2> bastid_raZor: do you know, or can you show me it osd?

[12:20] <AussieGuy> hi, I have a weird error... as root (sudo) ....   sudo ls > output/delete-me
[12:20] <AussieGuy> -bash: output/delete-me: Permission denied
[12:20] <reehan> !hi | swapna_
[12:20] <l0calh0s2> bastid_raZor: look at it: http://localh0st.ma.ciasny.net/pliki/xdfsffxfcerhythmbox.png
[12:20] <nnull> when i booted My TOP panel, decided its gunna be at the bottom now.. by itself.. and when i do properties on it and try change it to top, it rechanges itself to bottom?
[12:21] <ActionParsnip> l0calh0s2: nice vladstudio wallpaper ;)
[12:21] <l0calh0s2> Its the 'osd' from rhythmbox, check it and tell me, can i enable it for alvawys?
[12:21] <fx> Well, hi, I have a severe problem getting a HDA Intel soundcard to work (Codec AD1988) -- compiled alsa from source 1.0.18rX, snd-hda-intel set up, running, mixers working, I hear a clack sound when it boots but I get zero playback (everything unmuted, to 100% volume, except SPDIF which hangs the driver) -- any leads? (I already did 5hrs of google/ubuntu forums/etc)
[12:21] <l0calh0s2> ActionParsnip: :)
[12:21] <l0calh0s2> ActionParsnip: http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper_beta/downloads/date/any/
[12:22] <jrib> AussieGuy: redirection is being done as your user since that is who your shell is being run by.  Do this instead:  ls | sudo tee output/delete-me   .  Though I hope you are really trying to do something else as it would make more sense to just redirect the output somewhere in your HOME instead of using sudo
[12:23] <AussieGuy> well the real command is a mysqldump, with root password and all, but ill try that
[12:23] <nnull> my ubuntu install has a mind of its own i swear lol
[12:23] <edlv> any chat client to view others' webcam??
[12:23] <nnull> always does these random things by itself
[12:23] <nnull> or seemingly so
[12:23] <Slart> nnull: I think ekiga does that..
[12:24] <nnull> Slart¬ what makes you say that?
[12:24] <nnull> ive never even used ekiga heh
[12:24] <Slart> edlv: I don't know if amsn handles video chat.. you might want to check it out
[12:24] <Slart> nnull: sorry.. wrong person
[12:24] <nnull> oh
[12:24] <nnull> :x
[12:24] <boingboing> Hi. I have a problem with my panels.

[12:24] <nnull> boingboing¬ me too! mine are alive! :O
[12:24] <edlv> slart:thanks.i will look into it
[12:24] <boingboing> A few moments ago, I accidentally dragged the top panel to the left side of the desktop.
[12:25] <boingboing> Now I can't seem to drag them back. I tried right-clicking on any 'blank' space on the panel but to no avail. :(
[12:25] <gadfly621> who can tell me how i could get the Evolution to the system panel when open it
[12:25] <nnull> boingboing¬ i recommend backing up your .gconf DIR.. for when things like this happen

[12:33] <error404notfound> I am trying to install vmware server on ubuntu 8.04LTS, and I get: http://pastebin.com/m7b002de2, can someone suggest a solution...?
[12:33] <etfb> Having trouble playing a DVD.  Kaffeine (the Kubuntu multimedia app) says it's encrypted, and suggested installing CSS, but I do that and it keeps failing.  Any ideas?
[12:34] <ganu> please give a link to write a makefile
[12:35] <bastid_raZor> error404notfound; you need to download the any-any script and run that to fix the vmmon module..
[12:36] <etfb> error404notfound: That's very odd.  What version of Ubuntu are you using?  I installed VMWare Server 2 a couple of days ago and it didn't even need to compile a vmmon module for my kernel.  Why is your gcc out of sync with your kernel?
[12:36] <error404notfound> bastid_raZor: what's that and from where?
[12:36] <error404notfound> etfb: as mention, Ubuntu 8.04 LTS i386 Desktop
[12:36] <etfb> bastid_raZor: That's obsolete advice.  They seem to have found a way around that.
[12:36] <etfb> error404notfound: Oh, you did mention that... I'm sleepy, sorry.
[12:36] <student> hi
[12:37] <bastid_raZor> etfb; ah, i haven't had to install vmware in months.. that is how i had fixed the vmmon issues
[12:37] <etfb> bastid_raZor: I remember!  It was a pain, but the VMware people are pretty active in fixing their problems.
[12:37] <centr0> just attempted a dual boot with xp but its not showing up on grub.  is there anyway to figure out if it was wiped out accidentally?
[12:38] <etfb> centr0: Do some maths on the size of your hard disk, maybe?
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> centr0: did you install xp then ubuntu?
[12:38] <Dr_willis_> centr0,  look at 'sudo fdisk -l' see if the xp partitions are still there.
[12:39] <centr0> ActionParsnip: yes xp was already on here then ubuntu.  sec Dr_willis_ pullin that up
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> centr0: strange, that usually sets up the dual boot nicely
[12:40] <Dr_willis_> unless he some how erased windows. :) (hope not)
[12:40] <centr0> i may have messed up..  though i find it hard to believe.
[12:40] <centr0> its still there
[12:41] <centr0> /dev/sda1 NTFS
[12:41] <centr0> now i guess i just need a grub entry
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> centr0: totally
[12:41] <Dr_willis_> centr0,  the menu.lst file has a 'example' entry to boot windows on  the first partition/first disk.. You can just uncomment it.. and reboot and see if it works
[12:41] <Dr_willis_> centr0,  that will put a windows item at the start of the grub menus.
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> centr0: theres good help online too
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> centr0: backup your menu.lst incase you fluff it before editting
[12:43] <Dr_willis_> Grub is the kind of tool.. that its VERY worth while to spend a few hrs learning it...

[12:58] <amanu> i have changed my default display session as kdm but its not working how can i cahnge it from tty
[12:58] <cdavis> Is anyone aware of a good solution where I can create a call script so help desk people can ask a question, answer yes or no, then go to the next question? Like a call script sort of?
[12:59] <amanu> cdavis:what is call script
[12:59] <cdavis> That is the term I give it anyway. So when someone calls the help desk we ask the first question and based on that the second question appears, etc. etc., more like a flow chart or work flow for the incoming calls
[13:00] <amanu> i have changed my default display session as kdm but its not working how can i cahnge it from tty
[13:00] <Dr_willis_> amanu,  you mean you changed your Login manager from GDM to KDM?
[13:01] <TDJACR> Why are the Kubuntu Betas always more beautiful than the gnome?/
[13:02] <Slart> TDJACR: do you have a real question? there is an offtopic channel if you just want to rant
[13:02] <TDJACR> Slart: :P
[13:03] <TDJACR> No, I just think Ubuntu's theme is turning users over to Fedora and Others (OpenSUSE)

[13:03] <catmando> i need some help cross compiling some packages
[13:03] <catmando> i've got the correct toolchain (in my case for MIPS)
[13:04] <catmando> but I know very little about gcc and make
[13:04] <catmando> aside from changing the symlink in /usr/bin
[13:04] <catmando> how do I choose the correct compiler when making a package?
[13:04] <amanu> Dr_willis_:yes
[13:05] <Pici> amanu: How did you change it?
[13:05] <david32> Hi, I've a problem with windows on Ubuntu, sometimes when I start Ubuntu I can't see the top bar of the window (where quit, minimalize and maximalize option is). Anybudy know how to fix it?
[13:05] <Dr_willis_> amanu,  just logging out of X will not start kdm over gdm.. you either reboot.. or manually stop gdm, and start kdm.
[13:05] <amanu> Dr_willis_:i was working fine with gdm but recently i installed kdm
[13:05] <Slart> david32: you could try restarting the "decorator"
[13:05] <TDJACR> david32: Try running metacity --replace
[13:06] <Dr_willis_> amanu,  'sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm' will let you puck what one to use.. but you will still need to either reboot, or manually stop/start the services the first time.
[13:06] <amanu> Pici:at login at by clicking options at left bottom corner changed session as default:kdm
[13:06] <Paal> How can I run cloned screen with nvidia geforce screencard on a laptop?
[13:06] <TDJACR> Alt-F2 metacity --replace
[13:07] <Pici> amanu: Unless something has changed, that option only changes your default desktop environment to KDE, it does not change your desktop manager.
[13:07] <david32> TDJACR, When I have used this option everything is fine
[13:07] <amanu> Pici:now i cant get my login screen how can i
[13:07] <tyso1> hey does anyone know how i could embed a terminal window in my desktop background without affecting my other windows?
[13:08] <tyso1> a working one
[13:08] <TDJACR> david32: It works fine after that command?
[13:08] <Pici> amanu: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[13:08] <amanu> Dr_willis_:by changing my default session to kdm and after reboot i can t get my login screen
[13:08] <david32> TDJACR, yes it do
[13:08] <TDJACR> david32: Have it run on login
[13:09] <TDJACR> Prefs-->Services iirc
[13:09] <amanu> Pici:shall  need to typt this by going into generic recovery mode as cant get gui?
[13:09] <amanu> at terminal?
[13:09] <david32> TDJACR, I just type it in terminal
[13:09] <Dr_willis_> amanu,  you chage the 'login manager' to kdm or gdm. the 'default session' is what default desktop you re using.. and that would be 'kde' or 'gnome'
[13:09] <centr0> will a grub entry always contain (hd0,0)?
[13:09] <centr0> im getting errors when i try to add the xp partition.
[13:09] <Pici> amanu: Try it
[13:10] <amanu> Dr_willis_: i tried changing by sudo nano /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[13:10] <zerozzz> <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:10] <zerozzz> <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:10] <amanu> Pici:will this need any internet connection
[13:10] <Pici> zerozzz: What are you doing?

[13:19] <matt__> I just ssh'd into my home server from school...can I somehow run nmap from my server on the network here?
[13:20] <BtbN> matt__: from the remote-machine in your school-network?
[13:20] <tyso1> hey can anyone tell me how to revert the terminal to its default profile from the command line? i goofed it up and made my own profile and i took off the menu
[13:20] <ikonia> matt__: no
[13:20] <matt__> BtbN: From the server I ssh'd into at home I have nmap on.
[13:20] <jim_p> tyso1: gnome-terminal?
[13:20] <ikonia> matt__: you can run something remotly
[13:20] <matt__> ikonia: Is there a portable version?
[13:20] <ikonia> matt__: but not a remote app locally
[13:20] <tyso1> yes
[13:20] <matt__> ikonia: Yeah, on my home network ;)

[13:20] <inad922> I would like to use rssowl, but it doesnt work properly. On several websites I found that it needs mozilla-browser package on debian based systems to display stuff properly. But its uninstallable in hardy. Since it needs seamonkey-browser and it says it cant be installed but anyway it can be installed with apt and still then it cries when I want to install mozilla-browser. Anyone managed to make rssowl work in ubuntu hardy?
[13:21] <matt__> ikonia: So any suggestions?
[13:21] <ikonia> matt__: sure, then run it
[13:21] <intelinside> ?stats p
[13:21] <matt__> ikonia: I can't run it on this network though.
[13:21] <ikonia> matt__: your not running it on that network if you run it from your box at home
[13:21] <ikonia> matt__: you'd be running it on your network at home
[13:21] <Jeruvy> tyso1: click file then new profile.  restore it the way you like, then remove the other profile (or keep it).
[13:22] <tyso1> jim its the command line window i made a profile to make it look cool and i cant change it back now cause the menus are gone
[13:22] <matt__> ikonia: Exactly. But do you have any thoughts on how I can achieve that?
[13:22] <ikonia> matt__ ssh into your box at home - type nmap
[13:23] <ikonia> matt__: speak to your school's administrator if you want to run it on your schools network
[13:23] <matt__> ikonia: But that would do it on the network at home, not the network here. I want to run it on the network.
[13:23] <ikonia> matt__ then don't
[13:23] <matt__> ikonia: That is probably all I can do. Good idea.
[13:23] <tyso1> jim any other suggestions?
[13:23] <ikonia> matt__: talk to your teacher
[13:23] <MrKennie> anyone got gnash working with sites like youtube? It works using teh standalone player but the plugin doesn't show anything at all.

[13:24] <ikonia> Kruxer this isn't an ubuntu support question
[13:24] <Kruxer> ok ;)
[13:24] <tyso1> jim your my hero i thought i really messed it up thanks man
[13:26] <tyso1> jeruvy i meant to say your my hero thanks
[13:26] <Jeruvy> tyso1: cheers.

[13:36] <jrib> coke: use the one *you* like the best
[13:36] <Ven]n> ive installed ubuntu to a usb key.. but i want a small part of it to be fat32
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> !best | coke
[13:36] <Ven]n> can i use gparted to partition the system partition?
[13:36] <coke> i want one with graphic, no termimal if you understand
[13:37] <coke> no terminal client
[13:37] <coke> quit
[13:38] <nickelpat> when I do the sudo run in says it's missing the libgtk 1.2.so.0
[13:38] <Mimi> Anyone know how to get rhythmbox to play radio? (Radio option does not show on sidebar and it's not under Plugins or Preferences)
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> !ntfs-3g > nicexe
[13:39] <Hali_303> hi!
[13:39] <ferronica__> ikonia: same problem
[13:39] <nickelpat> Is there a way to get that library, libgtk 1.2.so.0?
[13:39] <ferronica__> ikonia:  -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6076 2008-10-09 17:42 /boot/grub/menu.lst
[13:39] <Hali_303> how to set the number of virtual desktops? (I mean those 4 desktops I can choose from using CTRL+ALT+(arrowkey)
[13:39] <jrib> nickelpat: apt-cache search libgtk1
[13:40] <ikonia> ferronica__ yes, you need to change the umask on /boot/grub - I'm very worried about how you've managed to set that though
[13:40] <nickelpat> put that into the terminal?
[13:40] <bastid_raZor> Hali_303; are you using compiz?
[13:40] <jrib> nickelpat: yeah
[13:40] <sudobash> hali right click on the desktop workspaces and set them from 2 to whatever you want
[13:40] <jrib> !apt > nickelpat
[13:40] <Hali_303> bastid_raZor: yes!
[13:40] <sudobash> down at the bottom right
[13:40] <ferronica__> ikonia:  how to do that?
[13:40] <paul68> Hali_303: you can click right on the 4 screens and select the nr of virtual desktops you would like to have
[13:41] <ikonia> ferronica__ umask 022 /boot/grub
[13:41] <sudobash> right click and then go to preferences
[13:41] <paul68> Hali_303: and select preferences
[13:41] <nickelpat> I got this output "libgtk1.2 - The GIMP Toolkit set of widgets for X
[13:41] <nickelpat> libgtk1.2-common - Common files for the GTK+ library

[13:41] <FloodBot1> nickelpat: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:41] <ferronica__> ikonia:  after that
[13:42] <Hali_303> sudobash: paul68: bastid_raZor: thank you, managed to set it to 1 :D
[13:42] <jrib> nickelpat: so install the one you need
[13:42] <nickelpat> Oh, okay
[13:42] <paul68> Hali_303: your welcome
[13:43] <Ven]n> hmm
[13:43] <Pavlz> hello
[13:43] <Pavlz> i did all the updates
[13:43] <Ven]n> can i use gparted to partition the system partition? ive installed ubuntu to a usb key.. but i want a small part of it to be fat32
[13:43] <ikonia> ferronica__: after that you should be done
[13:43] <Pavlz> now i got as kernel the Linux 2.6.24-19-386 i686
[13:44] <sudobash> ven]n yes use gparted
[13:44] <ferronica__> ikonia:  should i try chmod now
[13:44] <Pavlz> i did too apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade
[13:44] <Ven]n> sudobash, but dont i have to unmount the partition i want to resize?
[13:44] <Ven]n> sudobash, unmounting system disk isnt allowed..
[13:45] <ikonia> ferronica__ use sudo with it
[13:45] <sudobash> run off of LiveCD
[13:45] <Ven]n> bah
[13:46] <sudobash> or LiveUSB
[13:46] <sudobash> or run Gparted from RAM
[13:46] <Ven]n> kinda hoped i didnt have to do that
[13:46] <Ven]n> heh
[13:46] <abo> how is --reinstall option used with apt-get, don't quite get it ?
[13:46] <Ven]n> oh well.. thanks
[13:46] <ferronica__> ikonia:  didn't worked
[13:46] <jrib> abo: just do 'apt-get reinstall foo'
[13:46] <bastid_raZor> abo; man apt-get
[13:47] <bastid_raZor> abo; that will tell you more about apt-get
[13:47] <ikonia> ferronica__ copy the menu.lst to menu.lst.new
[13:47] <ferronica__> ikonia:  ok
[13:47] <ferronica__> ikonia:  in same directory
[13:47] <ushills> Hi, can anyone tell me how to get junglediskmonitor to run as root at startup?
[13:47] <ikonia> ferronica__ yes
[13:47] <abo> bastid_raZor, was reading that one...
[13:49] <ferronica__> ikonia:  ok done
[13:49] <ikonia> ferronica__ try to change the permissions on the copy
[13:50] <chamuscas> hey there, i need some help with wine, i don't know how to solve the overlapping screen problem
[13:51] <nnull> when i booted My TOP panel, decided its gunna be at the bottom now.. by itself.. and when i do properties on it and try change it to top, it rechanges itself to bottom?
[13:51] <jrib> !resetpanel | nnull
[13:51] <nnull> jrib¬ lol why would i wanna reset it
[13:51] <nnull> it might just do it again
[13:52] <jrib> nnull: "might".  Your second step is to check permissions in your HOME
[13:52] <nnull> and id spend hour after hour reconfiging it everytime it did it
[13:53] <nnull> jrib¬ its odd, the bottom panel is fine, (its at the top now seeing the top demands to be at the bottom)
[13:53] <nnull> so the (bottom panel) can move freely but the (top) panel is locked to the bottom
[13:53] <ari_stress> good evening guys :)
[13:53] <nnull> hihi
[13:54] <ruif13> hi
[13:54] <ruif13> anyone have an tutorial to setup squid_
[13:54] <ruif13> ?
[13:54] <Pavlz> why the kernel does not update ?
[13:54] <Pavlz> i tried
[13:54] <Pavlz> apt-get update
[13:54] <ikonia> ruif13 there are some docs on https://help.ubuntu.com
[13:54] <Pavlz> apt-get dist-upgrade
[13:54] <jrib> !enter | Pavlz
[13:55] <jrib> Pavlz: what kernel are you at now and what release of ubuntu?
[13:55] <flice> I've got a mysterious problem with FF on Hardy. It works fine for one system user, but not for other. tried everything: purge/reinstall FF, remove profile, run from console, googled for 2 hours. Also checked file permissions, everything seems to be ok. The problem is that bookmarks don't work, address bar behaves weird, all tabs always show the loading icon, backward/forward/reload buttons don't work.
[13:55] <ruif13> squid
[13:55] <Pavlz> Linux 2.6.24-19-386 i686
[13:56] <beli> flice: run it from console using strace and compare events
[13:56] <ubuntu_> ragazzi
[13:56] <flice> beli, good idea
[13:56] <jrib> Pavlz: is there a reason you are using -386 over -generic?  In any case, that's the latest kernel in the repositories.  You are up-to-date
[13:56] <flice> beli, I'll try that, wait...
[13:56] <ubuntu_> come si fa a smontare le partizioni? sn dal cd live ma nn riesco a smontare le partizioni

[14:06] <Pavlz> there is not way to update the kernel to the latest verdion
[14:06] <dustman_> how to use png and xpm images with lyx on ubuntu?
[14:06] <ikonia> jrib: basiclly the umask on /boot/grub is borked, it also appears to be setuid - even though it doesn't show as setuid
[14:06] <Pici> Pavlz: What version are you looking to update to?
[14:06] <ce_onLain> y
[14:06] <ferronica_> ikonia: really my /boot got mad

[14:07] <Pavlz> Linux 2.6.24-19-386 i686
[14:07] <fre3dom> this is a huge channel!
[14:07] <bingungbangett> anyone using gyachi ?
[14:07] <IdleOne> !welcome | fre3dom
[14:07] <ce_onLain> ay
[14:08] <ferronica_> ikonia: oh my GOD help me
[14:09] <_haywire_> you called?
[14:09] <askand> What is fastest, virtualbox or vmware?
[14:09] <moversti> How do disable ipv6 from wifi?
[14:09] <sudobash> vmware i think....
[14:09] <sudobash> vmware server is free now
[14:09] <bastid_raZor> askand; that depends on how much ram/cpu you allow the guest to use.
[14:09] <IdleOne> ce_onLain: before you start stop
[14:09] <ce_onLain> lo
[14:09] <jim_p> vmware is faster but more resource hungry
[14:10] <multiip> wmware is is what i use
[14:10] <fre3dom> If one were to use a restore disk from a manufacturer to reload ones PC (basically a re-image), would it still be possible to recover files which were removed (over-written) in the process?
[14:10] <^Cheeky> anyone could help me with a usb HDD .. problem /
[14:10] <flice> beli, discovered that the problem also occurs with the existing user, if I create a new profile. i.e. it only works with an existing profile
[14:10] <ikonia> ferronica_: please pastebin the output of mount
[14:10] <ikonia> ferronica_: lets see if jrib was onto anything
[14:10] <flice> beli, diff between strace output of new and old profiles yields nothing interesting (AFAICT)
[14:10] <sudobash> ok but it runs windows xp quicker than xp runs itself and usually with only 96 mb virtual pagefile
[14:10] <Thedjatclubrock> How do I see the output of /dev/random
[14:11] <sudobash> plus it cant run XP at half the ram for normal XP
[14:11] <flice> Theaxiom, cat /dev/random ?
[14:11] <ushills> found the solution thanks
[14:11] <Thedjatclubrock> flice: Thank you.
[14:11] <beli> flice: so check what happens on creating a new profile.....maybe you get some errors
[14:11] <sudobash> 256-312 or even 128 XP VM runs as well as a 1024 reg XP install
[14:11] <ferronica_> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/55634/
[14:12] <fre3dom> Any takers?
[14:12] <bombshelter13> Can someone recommend me a PDF viewer for Linux with smooth scrolling? Evince has annoyingly quantized scroll.
[14:12] <IdleOne> !pdf
[14:12] <sudobash> as long as you have 512 at least... 256 for linux 256 for VMWARE
[14:12] <flice> beli, a lot of "resource temporary unavailable" in diff for existing profile and profile creation
[14:12] <flice> beli, but I guess it's normal?..
[14:12] <sudobash> thats not to much of a resource hog
[14:12] <Thedjatclubrock> BBL
[14:12] <ikonia> ferronica_: are you on a lice cd
[14:12] <sudobash> you can tell it how much ram to use
[14:12] <ikonia> ferronica_: or a network boot
[14:12] <bingungbangett> anyone here using gyachi ?
[14:13] <fre3dom> If one were to use a restore disk from a manufacturer to reload ones PC (basically a re-image), would it still be possible to recover files which were removed (over-written) in the process?
[14:13] <bombshelter13> IdleOne: doesn't say mucha bout their scrolling capabilities. :/
[14:13] <ferronica_> ikonia: no
[14:13] <fre3dom> !ping
[14:13] <Jeruvy> wow deleting a directory only crashed gftp twice.  Must be some bug fixes posted recently... :)  Anyone know a ftp client that is more stable?
[14:13] <ferronica_> ikonia: not on network boot
[14:13] <_haywire_> Ping Reply  fre3dom  4 Seconds  Pingy o'Meter
[14:13] <flice> beli, no console errors on profile creation
[14:13] <ferronica_> ikonia: what is lice CD
[14:13] <ikonia> ferronica_: not a live cd either ?
[14:13] <ferronica_> ikonia: no no
[14:13] <IdleOne> bombshelter13: try them and see
[14:13] <TDJACR> DISTCC == Epic FAIL!
[14:13] <ferronica_> ikonia: this is my wubi installed
[14:13] <ikonia> ferronica_: why is your disk showing up as /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
[14:14] <beli> flice: for sure not...but maybe some strace stuff...
[14:14] <fre3dom> I figured linux people would know
[14:14] <ferronica_> ikonia: i installed ubuntu via wubi on XP
[14:14] <ikonia> ferronica_ oooh for "£$£"£"£$"£ sake
[14:14] <flice> beli, strace is quite long, the only thing that catches the eye is a lot of "resource unavailable" messages
[14:14] <ikonia> ferronica_: don't worry about it
[14:14] <beli> flice: while creating a new profile?
[14:14] <p_a_t_r_i_c_k> hello
[14:15] <flice> beli, yes
[14:15] <ikonia> ferronica_: it's fine as it is
[14:15] <beli> flice: and what resource ist mentioned?
[14:15] <p_a_t_r_i_c_k> how can i abort the start of the xserver?
[14:15] <flice> flice, something with a lot of backslashes. should I paste it?
[14:15] <beli> yeah use nopaste and paste the whole section
[14:15] <p_a_t_r_i_c_k> my mouse does not working under X, so i want to login in console and edit xorg.conf
[14:16] <beli> p_a_t_r_i_c_k: just presst ctrl+alt+f1 and have a console login
[14:16] <BlueEagle> p_a_t_r_i_c_k: You can press CTRL+ALT+F1 to get a console
[14:16] <InspectorCluseau> p_a_t_r_i_c_k, ctrl-alt-backspace kills X
[14:16] <p_a_t_r_i_c_k> thank you very much
[14:16] <BlueEagle> beli: Bahh.. beat me to it.
[14:16] <p_a_t_r_i_c_k> i will try it
[14:16] <^Cheeky> ubuntu sucks
[14:16]  * beli detex: i am too fast for you ;)
[14:16] <BlueEagle> InspectorCluseau: That also restarts it.
[14:16] <BlueEagle> ^Cheeky: Thank you for sharing.
[14:17] <InspectorCluseau> oops....
[14:17] <p_a_t_r_i_c_k> when should i press, when loading dameons?
[14:17] <fre3dom> patrick : start ububtu in recovery mode and use the command dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org
[14:17] <beli> p_a_t_r_i_c_k: when you can see your x-login screen
[14:17] <flice> beli, actually, I'm not sure what does the message refer to
[14:17] <p_a_t_r_i_c_k> ah ok
[14:17] <flice> beli, read(3, 0x807535c, 4096)                = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
[14:17] <bingungbangett> is it possible that my webcam not supported in ubuntu, but "Ekiga" can show my cam ?
[14:18] <flice> beli, a lot of "resource unavailable" messages with 0x807535c
[14:18] <beli> flice: can be many thinks...mostly file lock stuff
[14:18] <^Cheeky> why does one .. spend hours after hours .. to get something simple fixed .. when .. windows .. does the actual plug and play ?
[14:18] <IdleOne> !ot > ^Cheeky
[14:18] <BlueEagle> bingungbangett: Does it list your cam in a list of options or atually show cam captures?
[14:18] <jrib> ^Cheeky: do you have an actual question?
[14:18] <ferronica_> ikonia:next what
[14:18] <p_a_t_r_i_c_k> hmm it doesnt work for my vm, well iam not shure if the F1 button works
[14:19] <ikonia> ferronica_: you won't be able to change it
[14:19] <^Cheeky> jrib, yes i do
[14:19] <ferronica_> ikonia: no
[14:19] <jrib> ^Cheeky: then ask it without the side comments please
[14:19] <flice> beli, bump...
[14:19] <bingungbangett> blueeagle : what do u mean it list my cam ? all i know is in ekiga, i can see my face, that's mean it works in ekiga :), but i can't use it in gyachi, that's very confusing
[14:19] <thiebaude> hi jrib
[14:19] <bastid_raZor> ^Cheeky; why in the world do i need to spend tons of money for virus programs and worry about spy/adaware when Ubuntu doesn't even need a virus program
[14:19] <^Cheeky> jrib,  my working HDD that i used to connect to my computer worked .. fine abut now when i click it . it just freezes !
[14:19] <jrib> thiebaude: hey
[14:19] <beli> p_a_t_r_i_c_k: so boot into different runlevel that doesnt use X
[14:19] <BlueEagle> bingungbangett: Then the other applications are probably not using the right device.
[14:20] <ferronica_> ikonia: there is no way to correct it :(
[14:20] <thiebaude> ubuntu is superior than windows,^cheeky
[14:20] <beli> flice? :)
[14:20] <jrib> ^Cheeky: what freezes exactly?
[14:20] <ikonia> ^Cheeky: I have told you many times I believe you have a hardware error
[14:20] <p_a_t_r_i_c_k> beli: but how?
[14:20] <fre3dom> patrick : sudo init 3
[14:20] <ikonia> ^Cheeky: you refuse to run the hardware tests, so until then it is pointless discussing it

[14:20] <btQuark> hello everyone
[14:20] <^Cheeky> bastid_raZor, yeah maybe thats why .you pay for it but at least you know all the stuff you want to do will actually work ..without .. doing your own reserch to get it to work with your ubunty .. true windows crashes and viruses .. but .. it still just works out of the box you know
[14:20] <ikonia> ferronica_: not really, from what I'm reading
[14:21] <btQuark> maybe someone could help me with a routing problem
[14:21] <bingungbangett> blueeagle : sorry what do u mean ? does it mean my cam's driver is ok in ubuntu ? can  i fix it ?

[14:21] <btQuark> kurze frage: ich hab hier eine linuxkiste die von einem interface ins andere routen soll um zwei netzwerke zu verknüppern. die routen sind sauber gesetzt, ich kann alle ip-adressen die lokal auf der kiste sind pingen,kernel-level-ip-fowarding ist an. wenn ich allerdings andere kisten hinter dem router (die eigentlich erreicht werden sollen) versuche zu pingen geht zwar mein ping request raus, ist auf beiden interfaces sichtbar, bekommt aber keine

[14:21] <^Cheeky> jrib, you know when you click your mounted drive .. right .. it opens a window .. but then .. nothing is inside and it just goes gray
[14:22] <beli> p_a_t_r_i_c_k: do it on boot time....using grub
[14:22] <IdleOne> Can someone please just get rid of ^Cheeky . it's like going to Church and being told what to do by someone who has no idea
[14:22] <ikonia> ^Cheeky I have explained to you on about 10 occasions now you have a hardware error
[14:22] <btQuark> ah, sorry for pasting german, thought i'ld asked it in english - cutnpaste...
[14:22] <BlueEagle> bingungbangett: The cam diver works or you wouldn't have seen yourself in ekiga. However the other appications you try to use may look for your cam in the wrong place. Now most cam applications has got an option for which device to use. You probably want something like /dev/video0 or somesuch. Also make sure that you're a member of the video group.
[14:22] <ferronica_> ikonia: anyway thanx for your help buddy
[14:22] <ikonia> BlueEagle: not a problem
[14:22] <ikonia> oops
[14:22] <p_a_t_r_i_c_k> with STG + ALT +F1?
[14:22] <ikonia> btQuark: not a problem
[14:23] <flice> beli, actually there are the same "resource unavailable" messages mentioning 0x807535c (the same number) with new profile even on the second run
[14:24] <beli> flice: too hard to give any advices without seeing it.....but these things are permissions related in most cases...did you try from a root shell?
[14:24] <flice> beli, any idea what does it refer to?
[14:24] <Debolaz> It seems my X process is often trying to grab as much CPU as possible... Sometimes at the expense of other programs, even when nothing is happening on the screen. Is this a known problem?
[14:24] <flice> beli, nope, will try it now
[14:24] <Debolaz> It seems the only thing that helps is basically restarting X.
[14:24] <BlueEagle> ^Cheeky: Would you please post a pastebin of your /etc/fstab if you haven't already done so?
