[06:30] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, not part of tvtime's dependencies?
[06:30] <diesel> Is there a way to get a minimal install from the desktop CD?
[06:30] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: before that error it says error in mythtv package
[06:30] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, anually purge any of those you don't need
[06:30] <sarra_> Yaaay, everything's installed
[06:30] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, manually
[06:30] <ernz> Asc << lol - I love the American government

[06:31] <ernz> 14..... :|
[06:31] <Asc> colors | yikes
[06:31] <ernz> That would explain the brown
[06:31] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: what do you mean
[06:31] <ernz> >> http://www.digg.com/linux_unix/Down_with_Brown_-_Changing_Login_Splash_Screen_on_Ubuntu_Dapper_Drake
[06:31] <ernz> Hey that's a very good point
[06:31] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, dpkg --purge mythtv
[06:31] <ernz> It could be worse that "crap"-brown
[06:32] <ernz> I could be suffering snow blindness from using a MAC!!!!
[06:32] <ernz> ARGGGHH!!!! MY EYEEEEES!
[06:32] <FusionXN1> eyequeue:  SUDO dpkg --purge mythtv - it said: (Reading database ... 95721 files and directories currently installed.)
[06:32] <FusionXN1> Removing mythtv ...
[06:32] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, and if they are things you need, then sudo apt-get --reinstall install mythtv-database mythtv
[06:32] <ernz> Hehe - Ace.
[06:32] <sarra_> Oh crap
[06:32] <sarra_> It installed, but the GUI isn't loading
[06:32] <FusionXN1> eyequeue:  still get: E: mythtv-database: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[06:32] <FusionXN1> E: mythtv: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
[06:33] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, another thing to try is sudo apt-get install -f, and see what it wants to do
[06:33] <Asc> ernz: there's apparently some splash images that can be used here: http://ruslug.rutgers.edu/~mcgrof/grub-images/images/
[06:33] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: Errors were encountered while processing:

[06:33] <sarra_> Okay, this is really strange
[06:34] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, somewhere above those E: lines are the real errors, why mythiv-database fails in the postinst
[06:34] <sarra_> I have no video on my screen, but I can login?
[06:34] <Asc> and a guide here: http://ruslug.rutgers.edu/~mcgrof/grub-images/ which is what I should really have linked to
[06:34] <tritium> FusionXN1: don't paste please

[06:35] <sarra_> Is there a command to reboot Ubuntu?
[06:35] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19140
[06:35] <sarra_> I need to be able to do it without seeing anything on the screen
[06:35] <tritium> sarra_: sudo reboot
[06:35] <ernz> Who am I supposed to be being nice to exactly?
[06:35] <sarra_> I can't see what is on the screen, I'm going to need a key command to use from the desktop
[06:36] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: i forgot it says: Failed to create database (incorrect admin username/password?)
[06:36] <eyequeue> sarra_, enter enter sudo reboot enter :)

[06:36] <aboutblank> does anyone use the PPC version?
[06:36] <eyequeue> sarra_, then your user password

[06:37] <ernz> lmao!! Bloody #channel do gooders. be quiet tritium. I was talking to my good buddy Asc here, he's helping me with an issue.
[06:38] <ernz> And yes Asc, looks very promising
[06:38] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, thank you, that's the real error, you dind't set up that db
[06:38] <tritium> ernz: don't act that way here again please

[06:38] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: fixed it
[06:38] <ernz> Shh.
[06:38] <samalex> hey guys --
[06:38] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, it seems that package (and all that later depend on it) require that first
[06:38] <roostishaw> anyone, how can i append a certain line to a file that the crrent user does not own?
[06:38] <ernz> Asc: you say you modded b4, or not?
[06:38] <Asc> ernz: I haven't, but I'm going to now that I know how
[06:39] <Asc> ernz: I've messed about with the *lst file it mentions a bit, it looks like it should be easy
[06:39] <ryantrip> does anyone know how to set up another screen with ur laptop?
[06:39] <eyequeue> roostishaw, own?  or have write permissions for?
[06:39] <eyequeue> ryantrip, ^A^C, while in screen
[06:40] <roostishaw> eyequeue, have write permissions for. all within a bash script... so i need one command...
[06:40] <verbose> how can i install the 32-bit version of libgtk-1.2 on an amd64 machine?
[06:40] <eyequeue> roostishaw, do they have +w?  even as group or other?
[06:40] <roostishaw> eyequeue, they dont have write permissions, only read.
[06:41] <LogicalDash> Hi guys, I'm trying to install a 3D driver for my Radeon 9700 and not having much luck
[06:41] <eyequeue> roostishaw, echo "line goes here" >> filename, but they would need +w
[06:41] <roostishaw> eyequeue, im writing a bash script that needs to edit a file
[06:41] <ryantrip> eyequeue: i dont understand, im net to linux. just rcently installed it
[06:41] <roostishaw> eyequeue, and thats the problem
[06:41] <eyequeue> roostishaw, without +w, they can't do anything
[06:41] <kenny> i can do anything
[06:41] <roostishaw> eyequeue, there's not awk command?
[06:41] <roostishaw> eyequeue, or something i could do with sudo?
[06:41] <eyequeue> ryantrip, you are not running the application called "screen" then?
[06:41] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: i got another error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19141
[06:42] <gavagai> if you want to append a line he gave you the correct command
[06:42] <gavagai> permissions are the problem
[06:42] <eyequeue> roostishaw, sudo echo linegoeshere >> filename
[06:42] <Locke> how do i have my server login at bootup using CLI?
[06:42] <LogicalDash> Does it work to just use Alien on their RPM package for the driver?
[06:42] <eyequeue> roostishaw, if you do it as sudo, you bypass all the permissions
[06:42] <opticline> what isnt supported in the AMD64 version of UBUNTU>?
[06:42] <gavagai> why can't you put the user in a group that has write permission on the file
[06:43] <eyequeue> roostishaw, what gavagai said, even if it's a onetime group
[06:43] <roostishaw> eyequeue, hmm... not really: "bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied
[06:43] <Frankenstein> can someone give me the link on how to reconfigure x

[06:45] <nautilux> i need help please
[06:45] <Frankenstein> with

[06:45] <FusionXN1> tritium: yes and its for mythtv
[06:45] <nautilux> i just have install ubuntu and erase windows...
[06:45] <tritium> nautilux: please state the question
[06:45] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, any, but <IP_ADDRESS> is probable
[06:45] <tritium> FusionXN1: <IP_ADDRESS>, then
[06:45] <nautilux> i have 2 hd
[06:45] <FusionXN1> tritium: 1 mo
[06:45] <nautilux> and i cant acces to one
[06:45] <Frankenstein> nautilux: try one line, not 5
[06:45] <nautilux> it says error
[06:45] <kenny_> wats the defualy location of firefox?
[06:45] <tritium> FusionXN1: huh?
[06:46] <Asc> ernz: I'm off to test if it works.  If you have problems, I'll be back in a few minutes.
[06:46] <ryantrip> eyequeue: i dont see a program called screen

[06:46] <nautilux> I can play all the games like warcraft,cod,diablo in ubuntu?
[06:46] <eyequeue> ryantrip, don't worry, you didn't install it, it's not what your question was about i assume
[06:46] <kenny_> WARNING: /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin is not a directory.
[06:46] <kenny_> im trying to install flaash 7
[06:47] <tritium> kenny_: install the ubuntu package, then
[06:47] <eyequeue> ryantrip, if you don't have it, you sure were not asking some detail about it :)
[06:47] <tritium> You don't have ot know where firefox is located to install it
[06:47] <eyequeue> ryantrip, re-ask?
[06:47] <kenny_> didnt know there was one
[06:47] <kenny_> is there a ubuntu package for java/
[06:47] <eyequeue> ryantrip, extra monitors?
[06:47] <elamericano> synic, I almost got your screenshot, but I was wondering how you display the file list on the left.
[06:48] <aboutblank> 64 bit PPC ubuntu - I'm trying to compile RainbowCrack. i get an "unknown register name '%eax' in 'asm'" error. Since this is processor register, am i right in saying there's no way for me to compile this?
[06:48] <tritium> kenny_: yes, sun-java5-jre, for example
[06:48] <eyequeue> ryantrip, something called xinerama may be what you want
[06:48] <synic> elamericano: that would be project.vim
[06:48] <eyequeue> !xinerama
[06:48] <ubotu> xinerama is using multiple monitors as one big monitor. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XineramaHowTo
[06:48] <synic> elamericano: my favorite plugin
[06:48] <eyequeue> ryantrip, see ubotu above, if so
[06:48] <elamericano> Ah thanks. This was my shot: http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/9426/screenshotjd0.gif
[06:48] <tritium> kenny_: there's some info on flash in your help system, or on the wiki
[06:50] <kenny_> meh
[06:50] <kenny_> im having trouble watching you tube videos
[06:50] <ryantrip> eyequeue: i dont want to use 2 screens as one big monitor, i want to set the default screen to me external one
[06:50] <synic> elamericano: sweet.  perl programmer, eh?
[06:51] <anonymeeee> how do i know if samba is running on my box?
[06:51] <FusionXN1> tritium: still error...
[06:51] <eyequeue> ryantrip, a bios thing?  sounds like it might be a "turn on external port turn off internal card" thing
[06:51] <FusionXN1> tritium: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19142
[06:51] <harry> how do i mount dev/hdc1? i'm backing up my files
[06:51] <move> exit
[06:51] <anonymeeee> I'm trying to set up a print server
[06:51] <elamericano> synic, whatever pays the bills. C programmer originally.
[06:52] <DavidJaq> Ok... I've followed everything in this tutorial and I can't get the samba server to work :(
[06:52] <synic> elamericano: I feel the same way.  Perl currently pays all of my bills, though it's definitely not my favorite.
[06:52] <ryantrip> eyeqyeue: im surprized ubuntu doest have a built in gui tool for it
[06:52] <anonymeeee> that's not very encouraging
[06:52] <harry> ic56
[06:53] <eyequeue> ryantrip, if it's your bios, that would be hardware-specific, not at the os level
[06:53] <harry> how do i mount dev/hdc1? i'm backing up my files
[06:53] <eyequeue> harry, what fs, what mountpoint?
[06:54] <harry> eyequeue: what do you mean what mountpoint???
[06:54] <eyequeue> harry, sudo mount -t something /dev/hdc1 /mountpoint/here
[06:54] <aboutblank> harry.. first.. mkdir /mnt/thisdrive
[06:54] <eyequeue> harry, man mount, you'll see
[06:55] <aboutblank> eyequeue can't mount automatically detect the fs if you leave out the -t?
[06:55] <ryantrip> eyequeue: usualy in an os when yopu have a laptop, when u plug in a screen, u can choose how you want to set it up. settings like which screen is the defefault, use only one screen, or other options.
[06:55] <DavidJaq> I can see my linux install in my network places on my windows machine but when I try to double click on it I get 'the network path was not found'
[06:55] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19142 still says <IP_ADDRESS> / locahost is wrong ip
[06:55] <eyequeue> aboutblank, mine usually does but every time i tell someone to omit it, there's doesn't for some reasn, sigh
[06:55] <aboutblank> lol
[06:56] <FusionXN1> do i need to open 6543 on my router?
[06:56] <eyequeue> ryantrip, "usually"?  i've never seen that
[06:56] <mindseye> hello, is this the Ubuntu support chat?
[06:56] <harry> aboutblank: what do you mean mkdir. /mnt/thisdrive
[06:56] <DavidJaq> yes, mindseye
[06:57] <ryantrip> eyequeue: on windows and on mac you can set up muiltiple monitors
[06:57] <mindseye> i have a quick question about a custom menu icon i am trying to make
[06:57] <aboutblank> harry: do "mkdir /mnt/drive"
[06:57] <eyequeue> ryantrip, i don't use those, sorry
[06:57] <tritium> ryantrip: you can use multiple monitors on linux too
[06:57] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, what db daemon?
[06:57] <harry> aboutblank then what
[06:58] <ryantrip> tritium: can you help me with it? i dont know how to make it work
[06:58] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: mythtv website says mysql may not be started
[06:58] <mindseye> for the 'command' of the icon I want to change the directory and then execute the command in one step. any ideas?
[06:58] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: how can i check
[06:58] <eyequeue> tritium, he wants to disable the oinboard laptop one and make the external the primary
[06:58] <fausto_> Hi. I'm using VMWare server with ubuntu and am running WIndows XP as a virtual disk. I can't access the internet on xp and I can't get vmware tools to run properly.
[06:58] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, mysql then :)
[06:58] <aboutblank> harry: "mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt/driv"
[06:58] <fausto_> I've installed it and when I reboot it won't run.
[06:58] <satyambabu> How do I access USB device ??
[06:58] <aboutblank> harry: oops add an E
[06:58] <ryantrip> eyequeue: or use both, one as primary, one as the 2nd one
[06:58] <fausto_> It just says "VMWare tools not running." and shows a red cross over it
[06:59] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, do you have it configured to listen on that port?  from localhost?
[06:59] <FusionXN1> its default you cant edit the port
[06:59] <fausto_> Any ideas?
[06:59] <tritium> harry: this drive you're trying to mount might be nice to mount in /media, rather than /mnt
[06:59] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, do you have it configured *to listen on* that port?  from localhost?
[06:59] <Dravas> What is the easiest way to install Java
[06:59] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: i anit touched mysql till now
[06:59] <FusionXN1> and it did it automatically
[06:59] <ryantrip> tritium: can you help me set up my laptop with another screen?
[07:00] <FusionXN1> so i guess not
[07:00] <tritium> Dravas: use the sun-java5 packages in ubuntu
[07:00] <harry> aboutblank: where can i find mnt now??
[07:00] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, telnet localhost 6543
[07:00] <mindseye> this website has info on java install: http://ubuntuguide.org
[07:00] <tritium> ryantrip: which chipsset?
[07:00] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
[07:00] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, times out, or asks for something?
[07:00] <tritium> mindseye: please don't recommend ubuntuguide
[07:00] <harry> ok i'm alright thanks aboutblank
[07:00] <ryantrip> tritium: chipset? what do u mean
[07:00] <mindseye> oh sorry. is it not a good reference?
[07:00] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, okay, you have no listener there, as i suspected
[07:00] <tritium> ryantrip: nvidia, at, or what?
[07:01] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: You da man! continue..
[07:01] <tritium> mindseye: the wiki, usually, or help.ubuntu.com
[07:01] <ryantrip> tritium: ahh let me see
[07:01] <verbose> how can i install the 32-bit version of libgtk-1.2 on an amd64 machine?
[07:01] <mindseye> oh ok
[07:01] <fausto_> So anyone know why VMWare tools wouldn't run?
[07:01] <tritium> java help is even in System->Help
[07:01] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, your underlying issue is to configure your mysql-daemon
[07:01] <tritium> !java
[07:01] <ubotu> java is an object oriented programming language. To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the Multiverse repository
[07:01] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: sudo mysql?
[07:02] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, i'm just winging this part, but try sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-daemon
[07:02] <mindseye> is there anyone specific i could talk to about making a menu icon?
[07:02] <verbose> FusionXN1: you don't need sudo to run mysql, you can use mysql -u root
[07:02] <kj> f
[07:02] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: Package `mysql-daemon' is not installed and no info is available.
[07:02] <eyequeue> verbose, yeah, but i don't want him in mysql, i want him on the outside doing the initial configuration
[07:02] <ryantrip> tritium: nvidia Georce2 Go
[07:02] <verbose> eyequeue: aah
[07:02] <verbose> gotcha
[07:03] <tritium> ryantrip: are you using the proprietary driver?
[07:03] <ryantrip> tritium: i dont undrestand. im new to linux  :P
[07:04] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, okay, you have something called mysql-server-something installed, what is "something"?
[07:04] <tritium> ryantrip: no problem.  Have you tried the easiest thing?  Your laptop should have a key-combo to switch between displays (perhaps Fn-F5, as on mine)
[07:05] <mindseye> if I were at a command prompt
[07:05] <mindseye> how would i do a "CD" and execute a command on the same line?
[07:05] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: mysql-server-5.0 ?
[07:05] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, 5.0? 4.1?
[07:05] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: 5.0
[07:05] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, okay :)
[07:06] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-daemon-5.0
[07:06] <ryantrip> tritium: i have that little screen symble on it but i dont think its working
[07:06] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: Package `mysql-daemon-5.0' is not installed and no info is available.
[07:06] <tritium> ryantrip: you've tried it?
[07:06] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, it should ask a bunch of things via debconf
[07:06] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0
[07:07] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: nope just restarted
[07:07] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, you want to enable queries over the network, and from localhost / <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:08] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: says something about etc/hosts/
[07:08] <eyequeue> anyone here know offhand which mysql-* postinst asks about enabling net commections or not?
[07:10] <fausto_> Anyone here know stuff about VMWaere?
[07:10] <fausto_> Preferably about why vmware tools won't start?
[07:10] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, did you EVER configure mysql?
[07:11] <FusionXN1> no
[07:11] <FusionXN1> CRAP amarok has gone mad its flooding me with messages
[07:11] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, i wonder how you got away with that
[07:11] <FusionXN1> how do i force close it
[07:11] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, dpkg -l mysql-server-5.0, and JUST paste the VERY last line here, nothing more
[07:12] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, does it begin with "ii "?
[07:12] <FusionXN1> ii  mysql-server-5 5.0.22-0ubuntu mysql database server binaries
[07:12] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, it seems to think you configure it, debconf and all
[07:12] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: nope anit touched it
[07:12] <andresmax> hello
[07:12] <mindseye> is it possible to set a "working directory' for an icon in Alacarte?
[07:13] <andresmax> :S
[07:13] <andresmax> hay alguien que hable espaol ??
[07:13] <Amaranth> mindseye: err, what do you mean?
[07:13] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, i'm at the point where i'm confused by conflicting data, perhaps too tired to be of help to you
[07:13] <ssjgolleta_> yo ablo espanol
[07:13] <fyrestrtr> mindseye: I think it defaults to /usr/share/icons

[07:13] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[07:13] <Amaranth> !es
[07:13] <eyequeue> !es > andresmax
[07:13] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: i need to make a port open for the mysql right?
[07:14] <mindseye> Amaranth: i need to run my executable from it's own directory or i won't get it's dependencies
[07:14] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, you open the port by installing a listener on it (that package)
[07:14] <grzesiek> halloo
[07:14] <ssjgolleta_> can somebody tell me if they can see anything here <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:14] <FusionXN1> would reinstalling it allow me to configure it?
[07:14] <andresmax> hola
[07:14] <mindseye> i need to either set a working directory, or change the directory before I execute the command
[07:14] <andresmax> de donde eres ??
[07:14] <Amaranth> mindseye: you said for a directory
[07:14] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, you seem to not have it there, per telnet even, but yet it says you do??
[07:14] <tritium> !es
[07:14] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[07:15] <fyrestrtr> mindseye: you can just write a small script and execute that instead. #!/bin/bash cd /the/directory ./whatever
[07:15] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: i anit touched mysql
[07:15] <hintswen> ssjgolleta_, The server at <IP_ADDRESS> is taking too long to respond.
[07:15] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: didnt need it until now
[07:15] <andresmax> ?????
[07:15] <ssjgolleta_> thx
[07:15] <andresmax> ?
[07:15] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, you see my conflicting data and confusion?
[07:15] <andresmax> cmo ??
[07:15] <mindseye> fyrestrtr: i was going to use that as a last resort. Thought there might be a simpler way
[07:15] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: yes
[07:15] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: weird...!
[07:15] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, i'm hoping someone else here can get your mysql-server-5.0 lostening on localhost
[07:16] <FusionXN1> Can someone tell me which engine to use with amarok?
[07:16] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, you'll need to set a "root" password, which should not be a password you use for root or user
[07:16] <FusionXN1> XINE refuses to cooperate
[07:16] <fyrestrtr> mindseye: I'm not aware of one, but there might be, who knows. Maybe some variable you can set in the shell or something.
[07:16] <timalot> what happens when u type mysql?
[07:16] <FusionXN1> it goes into config
[07:17] <fyrestrtr> FusionXN1: what problem are you having with mysql?
[07:17] <FusionXN1> well sudo mysql
[07:17] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, mysql password trans,ission is insecure, so it's not a "safe" password, but you'll need to rememebre it every time you want to make a new db (all packages that depend on mysql)
[07:17] <FusionXN1> if i do mysql i get: RROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'fusionxn1'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[07:17] <timalot> i mean the msql client
[07:17] <eyequeue> fyrestrtr, it appears to not be listening
[07:17] <fausto_> Will someone please help me?
[07:17] <ryantrip> tritium: it doesnt work
[07:17] <mindseye> fyrestrtr: ok i'll go that route. thanks for the help everyone!
[07:17] <tritium> ryantrip: ok
[07:17] <fausto_> I've googled it and it appears noone has had my problem.
[07:17] <fyrestrtr> eyequeue: what have you all tried?
[07:18] <timalot> FusionXN1, ok u need to add your user to the grant tables
[07:18] <SammyXFCE> Hey channel.
[07:18] <fausto_> Apparently noones ever gotten the message "the vmware tools service is not running" . I guess most people just get it working on the first try.
[07:18] <FusionXN1> timalot: how do i go about doing that
[07:18] <ryantrip> tritium: i tried a different key f8 and it did somthing but it looked meased up. the key says CRT/LCD
[07:18] <timalot> FusionXN1, hold on
[07:18] <FusionXN1> timalot: thanks :)
[07:18] <eyequeue> fyrestrtr, of significance?  just dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0
[07:18] <tritium> ryantrip: that's the key
[07:18] <fyrestrtr> you don't need to do all that, it works out of the box, you just need to set users in it.
[07:19] <eyequeue> fyrestrtr, confirming no listener, postinsts of other pacakges get no answer when trying to create a db
[07:19] <ryantrip> tritium: my external said incorrect settings or somthing lol
[07:19] <hoy> did amd prices go down yet?
[07:19] <fyrestrtr> have you tried netstat -l | grep mysql ?
[07:19] <eyequeue> fyrestrtr, confirming no listener, telnet localhost 6543
[07:19] <tritium> hoy: on the 24th, to distributors only
[07:19] <fyrestrtr> 6543?!
[07:19] <fyrestrtr> where did you come up with that port?
[07:19] <FusionXN1> mythtv
[07:20] <eyequeue> fyrestrtr, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19142
[07:20] <InnerFIRE> is there a program like Microsoft Money for linux?
[07:20] <hoy> oh yeah, their $74 sempron becomes $60, not bad
[07:20] <eyequeue> InnerFIRE, no idea, what does it do?
[07:20] <Daveyboy> hi
[07:20] <InnerFIRE> helps you keep track of your finances etc
[07:20] <SammyXFCE> Anyone, how do I change my default file association?
[07:21] <ahmeni> How do I get apt to stop whining about overwriting a file that another program owns?
[07:21] <eyequeue> !info grisbi
[07:21] <ubotu> grisbi: Personal finance management program. In repository universe, is optional. Version 0.5.8-2ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 830 kB, installed size 2572 kB
[07:21] <tritium> ahmeni: are you installing non-ubuntu packages?
[07:21] <eyequeue> InnerFIRE, like that? ^^^
[07:21] <fyrestrtr> FusionXN1: okay, what are you doing right now to sort this problem out?
[07:21] <hoy> tritium: i know it's off topic, but what's the diff between am2 and s939/s757, i mean what does am2 do that s393/s754 don't do?
[07:21] <InnerFIRE> yes
[07:21] <InnerFIRE> thank you
[07:22] <tritium> hoy: DDR2 memory, for one thing
[07:22] <eyequeue> InnerFIRE, you need universe, have it?
[07:22] <SammyXFCE> sudo apt-get install -f ???
[07:22] <FusionXN1> fyrestrtr: trying to open the port it wants as it refuses the ocnnection
[07:22] <fyrestrtr> FusionXN1: no, don't do that.
[07:22] <Daveyboy> i have kde as my default wm in ubuntu, however, when connecting via vnc I get a gnome session, how do I fix that?
[07:22] <fausto_> Will someone please help me?
[07:22] <fausto_> Apparently noones ever gotten the message "the vmware tools service is not running" . I guess most people just get it working on the first try.
[07:22] <tritium> hoy: also, virtualization support
[07:22] <fyrestrtr> FusionXN1: first, did you create the user in mysql for mythtv?
[07:22] <ahmeni> tritium: They're KDE packages in the apt repositories
[07:22] <FusionXN1> no
[07:23] <Evil_Ed`> Hi
[07:23] <tritium> ahmeni: official ubuntu repos?
[07:23] <ssjgolleta_> does anybody have a netgear router?
[07:23] <fyrestrtr> FusionXN1: you need to do that.
[07:23] <FusionXN1> fyrestrtr: i anit touched mysql until now
[07:23] <eyequeue> fyrestrtr, it *seems* as though he does not have aoot user or password in mysql
[07:23] <fyrestrtr> FusionXN1: the default port for mysql is 3306, that's what it will listen on, and the only thing mysql listens on by default is localhost (<IP_ADDRESS>)
[07:23] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: it said use root and "" no pass
[07:23] <timalot> FunnyLookinHat,  ok run mysql as root, then type use mysql; then INSERT INTO `user` VALUES ('localhost','fusionxn1','','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','','','','',0,0,0);
[07:24] <eyequeue> fyrestrtr, hence no ability to freate users or dbs for packages
[07:24] <fyrestrtr> eyequeue: that's the normal setup, there is no correlation between the root user of the system and the root user of mysql.
[07:24] <ahmeni> tritium: probably from the kubuntu repositories, if that counts.
[07:24] <fyrestrtr> timalot: no no no no no.
[07:24] <eyequeue> fyrestrtr, agreed
[07:24] <timalot> FusionXN1,
[07:24] <fyrestrtr> FusionXN1: type this
[07:24] <Daveyboy> anyone a vnc expert
[07:24] <tritium> ahmeni: hmm, that's a bug in the one of the conflicting packages, then
[07:24] <fyrestrtr> FusionXN1: mysql -u root -p
[07:24] <InnerFIRE> i think so
[07:24] <fyrestrtr> when it asks you for a password, just hit enter.
[07:24] <Evil_Ed`> I'll think about it
[07:24] <FusionXN1> ok it shows ->
[07:24] <fyrestrtr> then you will get to the mysql> prompt
[07:25] <FusionXN1> oops  1 mo
[07:25] <eyequeue> !repos > InnerFIRE
[07:25] <FusionXN1> type it says enter pass
[07:25] <eyequeue> InnerFIRE, what the bot told you, then after, sudo apt-get install grisbi
[07:25] <fyrestrtr> FusionXN1: just hit enter
[07:25] <FusionXN1> ok im in
[07:25] <InnerFIRE> i have universe, thank you.. getting gribsi now
[07:25] <sarra_> !nvidia
[07:25] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:25] <fyrestrtr> now, first thing you do, set a password for the &mysql* root user. remember, this has nothing to do with your system's root user. To do this, type:
[07:26] <eyequeue> InnerFIRE, grisbi :)
[07:26] <timalot> fyrestrtr, i just dumped my msql db... u could use the grant command i guess
[07:26] <FusionXN1> fyrestrtr: why cant they be the same?
[07:26] <Daveyboy> i installed legacy drivers for my nvidia card , however still looks like it is in 800 x 600
[07:26] <fyrestrtr> GRANT ALL ON *.* TO root@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'somesecretpassword' WITH GRANT OPTION;
[07:26] <IVANGOTOY> does anyone know a really working howto for installing the latest kernel ?
[07:26] <fyrestrtr> timalot: that is not the right way to do it, because it doesn't sync the perms on newer mysql versions.
[07:26] <FusionXN1> fyre.. that for me
[07:26] <danf_1979> Why!!!!??? Why Ubuntu server comes without openssh server?? Is that a good call? I dont think so. The problem is, I will have to tell the guys that host my dedicated server, please, enter my box and install a ssh server? please?
[07:26] <fyrestrtr> FusionXN1: yes.
[07:26] <danf_1979> :(
[07:27] <Daveyboy> where is the screen resolution settings in kde menu?
[07:27] <CyDrive> Hello i was wondering how do i compile a project in eclipse in C++ i have the C++ plugin but im new to programming in a linux enviorment
[07:27] <FusionXN1> fyrestrtr: cant the pass be the same?
[07:27] <fyrestrtr> danf_1979: calm down, and just sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[07:27] <eyequeue> danf_1979, no open ports, a security decision
[07:27] <fyrestrtr> FusionXN1: sure, but its not good security practice.
[07:27] <ahmeni> tritium: yeah, seems like a bug, just wondering if there's a way to force it not to care about it
[07:27] <fausto_> Will someone please help me?
[07:27] <fausto_> Apparently noones ever gotten the message "the vmware tools service is not running" . I guess most people just get it working on the first try.
[07:27] <danf_1979> It should be an option during installation
[07:27] <fyrestrtr> CyDrive: have you installed the build-essential package? Do that first.
[07:27] <FusionXN1> fyrestrtr: Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
[07:27] <fyrestrtr> FusionXN1: good, now add a database for mythtv
[07:28] <tritium> ahmeni: yes, there are options.  See apt-get's manpage for the proper --force-overwrite details
[07:28] <fyrestrtr> create database mythtv;
[07:28] <eyequeue> danf_1979, didn't your instalation give you the option of installing additional packages? mine did
[07:28] <DeathWolf> is there a php5-imagick somewhere?
[07:28] <fyrestrtr> then add a user for mythtv
[07:28] <FusionXN1> fyrestrtr: it did ->
[07:28] <CyDrive> fyrestrtr no eclipse is installed how do i make it compile my own code i wrote in eclipse
[07:28] <fyrestrtr> grant all on mythtv.* to mythtv@localhost identified by 'somepasswordhere';
[07:28] <danf_1979> Uhm yes? to tell the truth eyequeue, I never saw that. I will install it again on qemu
[07:28] <danf_1979> thanks
[07:28] <fyrestrtr> CyDrive: first, you need to install the build-essential package that installs the C/C++ compiler onto your system.
[07:29] <eyequeue> danf_1979, "openssh-server" i believe
[07:29] <FusionXN1> fyrestrtr: You have an error in your SQL syntax
[07:29] <danf_1979> yes it is
[07:29] <fyrestrtr> FusionXN1: on which line? the very first one?
[07:29] <FusionXN1> fyrestrtr: 2
[07:30] <fyrestrtr> FusionXN1: what did you type?
[07:30] <FusionXN1> what you did but with a diff pass
[07:30] <danf_1979> The point is, I got no problem is my local installation comes with no ssh server. But what will I tell the guy at the hosting company when I tell him if he could install for me a ssh server, because the distro does not come with one...
[07:30] <ahmeni> tritium: doesn't seem to be a --force-overwrite in my apt-get's manpage
[07:30] <danf_1979> He will smile...
[07:30] <fyrestrtr> FusionXN1: you missed a line, did you type create database mythtv;
[07:30] <FusionXN1> fyrestrtr: ya it just did ->
[07:31] <fyrestrtr> FusionXN1: now type the last line, it will work.
[07:31] <FusionXN1> fyrestrtr: oops missed ;
[07:31] <eyequeue> danf_1979, i'm not sure i'd deliver a box to a colo if it didn't have sshd :)
[07:31] <tritium> ahmeni: ah, right, that's a dpkg option, sorry
[07:31] <danf_1979> yeah, but I love ubuntu
[07:31] <CyDrive> Is it possible to run a server through a router?
[07:31] <FusionXN1> fyrestrtr: done
[07:31] <fyrestrtr> danf_1979: just set it up before you send the box over.
[07:31] <fyrestrtr> FusionXN1: okay now exit out of there, you are done.
[07:31] <fyrestrtr> FusionXN1: type quit;
[07:32] <danf_1979> how can I do that?
[07:32] <eyequeue> CyDrive, "behind" a router?  and port forwarding?  yes
[07:32] <danf_1979> Ohh, no, I mis understood you
[07:32] <FusionXN1> fyrestrtr:  what i tpye to exit?
[07:32] <danf_1979> I will not send a box
[07:32] <danf_1979> I'll rent it
[07:32] <fyrestrtr> FusionXN1: now on mythtv, use the username 'mythtv' -- server is 'localhost' -- database is 'mythtv' -- password is whatever you wrote in.
[07:32] <eyequeue> CyDrive, most of it is just configuring the router
[07:32] <CyDrive> eyequeue i would be appreciated if you could explain port forwarding since i never fully understood it
[07:32] <fyrestrtr> FusionXN1: quit
[07:33] <FusionXN1> fyrestrtr: 2006-07-29 06:33:07.053 Connecting to backend server: localhost:6543 (try 1 of 1)
[07:33] <FusionXN1> Connection timed out.
[07:33] <Daveyboy> aqnybody a guru on vnc?
[07:33] <eyequeue> CyDrive, let's say your server is address <IP_ADDRESS> on your lan
[07:33] <CyDrive> ok
[07:34] <fyrestrtr> FusionXN1: quit fiddling with the port in mythtv. The default port for mysql is 3306
[07:34] <Tonren> hey guys, is it possible to create a "virtual folder" that mirrors the contents of two or more other folders?
[07:34] <FusionXN1> fyrestrtr: i anit touched it!
[07:34] <eyequeue> CyDrive, you tell the router to take all inbound connections on port 22 and send them to port 22 on <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:34] <FusionXN1> fyrestrtr: theres no option to
[07:34] <fyrestrtr> FusionXN1: did you start the mythtv backend?
[07:34] <sarra_> Okay, I need some help with NVidia drivers
[07:34] <FusionXN1> fyrestrtr: no
[07:34] <CyDrive> ooh o
[07:34] <CyDrive> ok*
[07:34] <fyrestrtr> FusionXN1: well, you need to do that.
[07:34] <FusionXN1> fyrestrtr: No setting found for this machine's BackendServerIP.
[07:35] <eyequeue> CyDrive, OR you can tell the router (if you have multiple servers back there) to take all inbound connections on port 7022 and send them to port 22 on <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:35] <Daveyboy> where can i configure the default sessions and such from the command line?
[07:35] <fyrestrtr> Daveyboy: for gdm?
[07:35] <Daveyboy> kdm
[07:35] <fyrestrtr> Daveyboy: should be in /usr/share/xsessions/
[07:35] <eyequeue> CyDrive, and also tell the router to take all inbound connections on port 8022 and send them to port 22 on <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:35] <sarra_> I have followed the instructions, but I still cannot select my native resolution for my LCD, nor refresh rate
[07:35] <eyequeue> CyDrive, got the idea now?
[07:36] <CyDrive> yeah i understand than you
[07:36] <fyrestrtr> sarra_: all LCDs have one refresh rate, so you don't have to worry about that part.
[07:36] <Daveyboy> fyrestrtr trryong to configure kde as my default vnc session
[07:36] <eyequeue> CyDrive, i use the latter concept to remotely admin multiple machines at a relatives house (22 is ssh)
[07:36] <fyrestrtr> Daveyboy: oh, sorry -- don't know much about vnc :(
[07:37] <sarra_> My LCD has a native refresh rate of 60 hz, but it is set to 75 hz in linux
[07:37] <fyrestrtr> sarra_: do you know if the accelerated drivers are running? Do you see the nvidia splash screen?
[07:37] <sarra_> Yes
[07:37] <fyrestrtr> sarra_: you can always edit xorg.conf and change the refresh rate there.
[07:37] <fyrestrtr> sarra_: and the resolutions.
[07:38] <sarra_> Okay
[07:38] <Commander-Crowe> I have a script in /usr/bin
[07:38] <sarra_> I'm going to need LAN drivers too
[07:38] <Daveyboy> fyrestrtr i installed legacy nvidia drivers, and saw the splash screen, where do I change the resolution in kde?
[07:38] <Commander-Crowe> and i would like an executable of that script on my desktop
[07:38] <Commander-Crowe> anyone care to help?
[07:38] <fyrestrtr> Daveyboy: sample place, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:39] <Tonren> hey guys, is it possible to create a "virtual folder" that mirrors the contents of two or more other folders?
[07:39] <sarra_> oh, fixed the LAN problem, yes
[07:39] <hoy> tritium: whatd you mean about virt support, i read about it, still didn't understand
[07:39] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, aside, if it's something you installed yourself, it should be in /usr/local/bin/, not /usr/bin/
[07:39] <FusionXN1> fyrestrtr: wont work
[07:40] <Commander-Crowe> eyequeue: I install it myself
[07:40] <timalot> Tonren, what for?
[07:40] <Commander-Crowe> eyequeue: I put the script there
[07:40] <sarra_> I think I'll install updates and then try getting the display drivers working
[07:40] <arooni> hey folks..... i have a url like ... foo.com/images/  and within that directory, i'd like to download all the images.... how can i do this (not manually right clicking on the images)
[07:41] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, sudo mv /usr/bin/whatever /usr/local/bin/
[07:41] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, /usr/bin is for dpkg only, /usr/local/bin is free for you to use
[07:41] <sarra_> arooni: There should be a program available in the Add/Remove applications manager that can do just that for you
[07:41] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, i know little about the desktop that you asked though
[07:41] <arooni> sarra_: do you know what its called?
[07:41] <tritium> hoy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_virtualization
[07:41] <Tonren> timalot: Well, suppose you had a bunch of images stored into folders by category: sci-fi, fantasy, photographs, photomanips, etc.  but suppose at some point you wanted to slideshow or browse through all of them at once
[07:41] <timalot> arooni, man wget
[07:42] <Tonren> timalot: it'd be annoying to go through one folder, then the next, then the next, etc.
[07:42] <sarra_> I'm looking right now arooni
[07:42] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, ahhhh
[07:42] <Daveyboy> do i need to download drivers for my monitor too
[07:42] <Daveyboy> for resolution
[07:42] <sarra_> arooni: search for Website Copier
[07:42] <sarra_> It's under unsupported apps
[07:43] <timalot> Tonren, well u could make a script that makes links to all the files in the other dirs and puts in one dir
[07:43] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, as user, after you do that, ln -s /usr/local/bin/whatever ~/Desktop/whatevernameyouwant
[07:43] <Commander-Crowe> ok
[07:43] <J-_> how do i get permission to write to files through the gui? in breezy badger i just clicked on the "Disks" icon, i typed in the password and it gave me permission. now that i have 6.06, it doesn't work like that.
[07:43] <arooni> sarra_: ahh thank you
[07:43] <Tonren> timalot: It wouldn't be seamless, though.  I'd have to manually refresh it every time I wanted to update the folder.
[07:43] <arooni> i actually did wget
[07:43] <arooni> :P
[07:43] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, that should create a symlink to the executable (it IS executable, right?)
[07:43] <arooni> i didnt know there was a command line interface
[07:43] <sarra_> arooni: Sure. :)
[07:43] <Tonren> J-_: "gksudo nautilus"
[07:43] <Commander-Crowe> yeah
[07:43] <J-_> thanks.
[07:43] <Commander-Crowe> terminal it need to be though
[07:43] <timalot> Tonren, well whats the image viewing program?
[07:44] <ssjgolleta_> can somebody tell me if they can see a web page @ <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:44] <sarra_> @__@ It seems like all I've done during the past 3 days is download updates
[07:44] <Tonren> timalot: Either GQView or the GNOME default
[07:44] <J-_> !gksudo
[07:44] <ubotu> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use gksudo, as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using sudo {guiapp}
[07:44] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, another method ...
[07:44] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, right click the desktop, select create launcher
[07:45] <J-_> isn't that unsafe? or does the setting back to how it was originally?
[07:45] <timalot> Tonren, why cant us just pass all the file names to the program eg... eog `find .`
[07:45] <Commander-Crowe> i'm in xubuntu
[07:45] <arooni> how do i open an image file from the command line
[07:45] <Daveyboy> where do i set the resolution in kde?
[07:45] <Tonren> timalot: I didn't know you could do that...?
[07:45] <move> I <3 cock.
[07:45] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, stick /usr/local/bin/whatever in the Command part
[07:45] <sk0tie> Come to a new and upcoming network at irc.oneirc.org our main room is #oneirc
[07:45] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, ahh, no clue, but try a right click and see if there is similar
[07:45] <Commander-Crowe> ok I got it
[07:46] <timalot> Tonren, find finds all files in a dir
[07:46] <Commander-Crowe> eyequeue: there not
[07:46] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, sorry
[07:46] <FusionXN1> how do i open a port in mysql???? a listener?
[07:47] <timalot> Tonren, the backquotes ` ` run a command and evaluates to the output
[07:48] <Tonren> timalot: hmm
[07:49] <Commander-Crowe> I got it though
[07:51] <XrekcaH> %%% Hey, Is there a APT-GET for yahoo msg ???
[07:51] <Kr0ntab> FusionXN1, are you asking how to get mysql to listen on a different address than just <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[07:51] <aboutblank> is there a better distro for PPC? doesn't seem to be much support for PPC on ubuntu.. :(
[07:51] <plastictabs> off topic channel?
[07:52] <ompaul> !offtopic
[07:52] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[07:52] <plastictabs> loff-topic?
[07:52] <FusionXN1> Kr0ntab: no on port 6543 for mythtv
[07:52] <timalot> !ppc
[07:52] <ubotu> ppc is PowerPC.  Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers, and now a fully supported Ubuntu architecture.
[07:53] <Commander-Crowe> how do I hid a folder?
[07:53] <timalot> ubotu doesnt agree :)
[07:53] <ubotu> I know nothing about doesnt agree :) - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[07:53] <Commander-Crowe> .dirname ?
[07:53] <Commander-Crowe> hide*
[07:53] <FusionXN1> my mysql is broken
[07:53] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, sounds like that would be an xfce thing
[07:54] <aboutblank> timalot: trying to compile anything on my G5 is nearly impossible. it's 64 bit and PPC so it's doubly hard.
[07:54] <Commander-Crowe> eyequeue: lol no not really
[07:54] <sarra_> !ia64
[07:54] <ubotu> I know nothing about ia64 - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[07:54] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, i guess i don't understand hide
[07:54] <Commander-Crowe> hidden
[07:54] <aboutblank> timalot: ex: i'm trying to compile rainbowcrack but it can't because the cpp utilizes assembly code accessing registers which apparently don't exist on this architechture :(
[07:55] <FusionXN1> ANyone got mythtv working on her?!?!
[07:55] <timalot> aboutblank, right ... i've never heard of it... sometimes there is a fallback switch in the configure script
[07:55] <FusionXN1> here*
[07:55] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, "hidden folder" sounded like a gui thing, as i can't imagine it in console
[07:56] <Commander-Crowe> eyequeue: its very possible
[07:56] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, unless you meant beginning it with a dot
[07:56] <Commander-Crowe> eyequeue: unless I got my Unix mixed with linux
[07:56] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, mv folder .folder ?
[07:56] <Commander-Crowe> eyequeue: yes I did mean that
[07:56] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, that's how, too :)
[07:56] <Commander-Crowe> eyequeue: ok it worked doesn't show up in both console or GUI
[07:56] <martbd> removing windows virus
[07:57] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, here i was thinking of some complex chmod command, heh
[07:57] <Commander-Crowe> lol
[07:57] <Commander-Crowe> no
[07:57] <Commander-Crowe> now how do I ls dirs?
[07:58] <Commander-Crowe> nevermind
[07:58] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, ls -d /whatever/path
[07:58] <Commander-Crowe> I got it
[07:58] <Commander-Crowe> ls -l
[07:58] <Commander-Crowe> yeah ls -d doesn't do anything
[07:58] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, ls -d /whatever/path tells you dirs in there without traversing them, not what you wanted, but another thing ppl want
[07:59] <Commander-Crowe> didn't work for me
[07:59] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, ls -d ~/*
[07:59] <timalot> it shows u /whatever/path not whats in /whatever/path
[07:59] <Commander-Crowe> eyequeue: tried that didn't work
[07:59] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, should have at least Desktop/
[08:00] <Commander-Crowe> eyequeue: nope
[08:00] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, take the -d away and you'll get everything under Desktop/*
[08:00] <Commander-Crowe> I do
[08:00] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, oh yeah, no gnome there
[08:00] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, bad example :)
[08:01] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, /usr/share/doc/* with and without the -d, but each will be long
[08:01] <sarra_> Well, I'm going to disconnect from the internet for a bit
[08:01] <eyequeue> very, heh
[08:01] <sarra_> I'll drop back in later
[08:01] <eyequeue> bye sarra_
[08:01] <FusionXN1> Can someone tlel me why my mysql database wont allow mythtv? Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
[08:01] <FusionXN1> tell*
[08:01] <GigaClon> is there a way to search for C++ errors on the web
[08:02] <GigaClon> the messages im getting aren't exactly helpful
[08:02] <timalot> FusionXN1, didnt someone tell u how to use the grant command?
[08:02] <FusionXN1> nope?1
[08:02] <eyequeue> GigaClon, not knowing better, i'd paste the exact error into google and see
[08:02] <Commander-Crowe> eyequeue: whast that supposed to do?
[08:03] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, give you a list of the dirs, with the -d, and give you the same, but with contents, without the -d
[08:03] <Commander-Crowe> eyequeue: ah
[08:03] <Commander-Crowe> brb
[08:03] <eyequeue> Commander-Crowe, trying to illustrate what it does
[08:05] <Commander-Crowe> eyequeue: um nothing lol
[08:05] <Commander-Crowe> eyequeue: let me try again
[08:05] <DJAdmiral> is it just me or are the ubuntu repositories DEAD slow?
[08:05] <eyequeue> DJAdmiral, for a couple of days now, when they were up at all, here
[08:06] <Madpilot> DJAdmiral, the security repo is sometimes slow...
[08:06] <DJAdmiral> great.
[08:07] <eyequeue> DJAdmiral, with the little i was doing, i dind't sweat it, but if i were doing a full install, grr
[08:08] <DJAdmiral> that's the thing - when i installed breezy on this laptop all the packages i wanted from the repos downloaded and installed in one afternoon
[08:08] <DJAdmiral> but since i installed dapper day before
[08:08] <DJAdmiral> i started downloading all updates and packages etc. yesterday at 2:45 pm
[08:08] <DJAdmiral> it is now 10:08 AM
[08:09] <DJAdmiral> i haven't slept through the night :|
[08:09] <dmsantam> DJAdmiral, 56K?
[08:09] <DJAdmiral> far from it
[08:09] <DJAdmiral> 512kbps.
[08:09] <eyequeue> DJAdmiral, take it offline and get some sleep :)
[08:09] <dmsantam> DJAdmiral, and you claim you've been downloading for 20 hours straight?
[08:09] <s_spiff> DJAdmiral, wow.. but why did u sit up all night?
[08:09] <DJAdmiral> some downloads are going at good normal speed = 61kbps
[08:10] <DJAdmiral> and some downloads are going at 4.4kbps
[08:10] <eyequeue> dmsantam, i so mine in dselect spurts on a new install, a bit from this section, process it, a bit from that
[08:10] <DJAdmiral> i can't sleep until my baby is alright :P
[08:10] <cbx33> DJAdmiral, have you chosen a local mirror?
[08:10] <Asc> I usually don't sleep during a kernel compile
[08:10] <dmsantam> lets see... conservatively, 50KB/s download. that's about 3 and half gigs
[08:11] <eyequeue> DJAdmiral, yeah, that's why i said offline, since i wouldn't want a "not done" box open to attack
[08:11] <dmsantam> DJAdmiral, that doesn't sound quite right to me :)
[08:11] <s_spiff> DJAdmiral, lol..i can have tht much affection only towrds my bikwe...anyways get some sleep dude..ur 'baby' will be allright :P
[08:11] <DJAdmiral> dmsamtam: not all downloads are going at regular speeds
[08:11] <DJAdmiral> dmsamtam: most of them are going at 4.4kbps!!!
[08:11] <dmsantam> DJAdmiral, yeah? mine do. are you using a local mirror?
[08:11] <dmsantam> DJAdmiral, you need a better mirror perhaps
[08:11] <DJAdmiral> probably.
[08:12] <eyequeue> o also will do an apt-get dist-upgrade *with the -d switch* first, then sleep
[08:12] <eyequeue> i
[08:12] <DJAdmiral> s_spiff: thanks for the comment :P
[08:12] <eyequeue> then run it without the -d when i can attend the installs
[08:12] <dmsantam> hmm.. firefox has been very memory hungry lately
[08:13] <DJAdmiral> all the updates are downloaded and installed
[08:13] <DJAdmiral> i just need my packages!
[08:13] <fyrestrtr> dmsantam: there was an update, have you installed it?
[08:13] <dmsantam> fyrestrtr, a couple of days ago i did a dist-upgrade and it upgraded firefox. is that the one you mean
[08:13] <fyrestrtr> dmsantam: there was one today, I think.
[08:13] <DJAdmiral> oh well, at least there's my holy grail to comfort me. My Holy Grail= a shipit package of 25 ubuntu cds
[08:13] <dmsantam> fyrestrtr, oh, ill check :)
[08:14] <eyequeue> dmsantam, i think the firefox security upgrade was in the last 24h
[08:14] <dmsantam> eyequeue, ok, cool.
[08:14] <dmsantam> it seems that i have the latest one.
[08:14] <eyequeue> dmsantam, mine doesn't feel any faster or slower though yet
[08:14] <dmsantam> maybe that dist-upgrade was from yesterday :)
[08:15] <DJAdmiral> they were nice enough to include free ubuntu stickers. i'll probably stick one on the cover of my laptop so it says "Ubuntu" instead of "Compaq" :D
[08:15] <dmsantam> eyequeue, how much memory is it using?
[08:15] <eyequeue> dmsantam, wait, ff was a couple days back and thunderbird was today, that could be it
[08:16] <DJAdmiral> !ubotu good bot
[08:16] <ubotu> I know nothing about good bot - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[08:16] <dmsantam> eyequeue, sounds right :)
[08:16] <DJAdmiral> ubotu good bot
[08:16] <eyequeue> dmsantam, how do i get a per-app memory use for a gui app?
[08:16] <DJAdmiral> doesn't this work anymore? lol
[08:16] <eyequeue> i wonder....
[08:16] <dmsantam> eyequeue, i just look at "top"
[08:16] <eyequeue> !botsnack
[08:16] <ubotu> I know nothing about botsnack - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[08:17] <DJAdmiral> meh. has anybody tried making an LFS system from Dapper?
[08:17] <eyequeue> dmsantam,  5249 user1000  16   0  866m  98m  20m R 17.0 21.0  28:45.80 /usr/lib/firefox/fi
[08:17] <DJAdmiral> My baby needs packages, and i need coffee. *chugs down a gallon of coffee*
[08:18] <dmsantam> eyequeue, seems high!
[08:18] <dmsantam> that's 866MB of virtual memory!! and 98MB of ram.
[08:18] <eyequeue> dmsantam, yeah, but to me ff is always high
[08:19] <InnerFIRE> what plugins do i need for totem to play dvds
[08:19] <InnerFIRE> ?
[08:19] <dmsantam> eyequeue, the whole point of firefox was meant to be lite
[08:19] <eyequeue> !dvd
[08:19] <ubotu> See http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html. Libdvdcss can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[08:19] <eyequeue> dmsantam, i'd say s/lite/safe/ heh
[08:19] <dmsantam> hehehe
[08:19] <DJAdmiral> anyway once all these packages are installed, can somebody please help me install an external ps/2 mouse for my laptop?
[08:20] <fyrestrtr> dmsantam: yeah, that is a bit high. Mine is not that crazy.
[08:20] <eyequeue> dmsantam, any big gui app will never feel lite to this console junkie, heh
[08:21] <eyequeue> DJAdmiral, i'll guess that you may want to apt-get install gpm, if it isn't auto-sensed
[08:21] <eyequeue> gpm (8)              - a cut and paste utility and mouse server for virtual consoles
[08:21] <DJAdmiral> before or after i plug my ps/2 mouse in?
[08:21] <eyequeue> DJAdmiral, it has some bins that are just for diagnosing the hardware, play with those a bit if they are needed
[08:22] <fyrestrtr> !mouse
[08:22] <DJAdmiral> i suppose so.

[08:23] <cbx33> I need some advice, I'm working on some html files, nd have some primitive templates.  I need to go through and update the afore mentioned files....i tried using kfilereplace which has worked in the past to search for a block of text and replace it with nother block of text....andone know another method for it?
[08:23] <eyequeue> DJAdmiral, "sudo dpkg -L gpm | grep bin" will list the files in the package with "bin" in the path, i cheat like that :)
[08:23] <fyrestrtr> cbx33: sed, or the 'replace' command.
[08:23] <eyequeue> cbx33, i have one inelegant means, if no one else does
[08:23] <DJAdmiral> i'll try something of the sort.
[08:23] <cbx33> and that will do multi line replacing fyrestrtr ?
[08:23] <cbx33> eyequeue, shoot?
[08:24] <fyrestrtr> cbx33: sed will
[08:24] <eyequeue> cbx33, multiline?  no, sorry
[08:24] <DJAdmiral> i'm off to go solving riddles on www.notpron.com
[08:24] <dmsantam> cbx33, perl can help with this
[08:24] <fyrestrtr> cbx33: perl + regex is what you need.
[08:24] <eyequeue> cbx33, it was ":%s/foo/bar/cg" in vim, after loading up all the files
[08:24] <cbx33> ah ok
[08:25] <eyequeue> cbx33, and the occasional :next
[08:25] <eyequeue> cbx33, i often like to confirm each and every change
[08:25] <DJAdmiral> *yawn* can't wait to be one of you guys, whom people can ask questions on IRC and you guys give great helpful responses.
[08:25] <cbx33> DJAdmiral, just takes time my man
[08:25] <eyequeue> cbx33, some of my strings end up being partial words though, so not every occurrence should change
[08:25] <cbx33> we all have our speicaities
[08:26] <elkbuntu> DJAdmiral, idle chatter belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:26] <DJAdmiral> apologies.
[08:26] <dmsantam> eyequeue, use \<word\>
[08:26] <cbx33> kfilereplace used to work fine
[08:26] <eyequeue> DJAdmiral, earlier, i was starting to become useless with mysql questions, and i used to know that stuff
[08:26] <cbx33> I've used it for this task before
[08:26] <cbx33> but it just doesn't wanna work now
[08:26] <eyequeue> dmsantam, ah
[08:26] <dmsantam> eyequeue, word boundaries for vim :)
[08:27] <adrian_> i have a problem, i wanna install new amsn in ubuntu but it says i need some dependences .... what do i need to do for can to install new amsn version?
[08:27] <eyequeue> dmsantam, vcre? :) s/perl/vim/ compatible regular expressions? :)
[08:29] <dmsantam> :)
[08:30] <tzuki> Hi can someone please help me.  I have a 17" laptop, after installing Drapper Drake the screen resolution was really bad, after some digging I got the ATI Linux drivers and installed them. Resolution is now OK however my mouse pointer is now just a big square that looks like a hashed mess.  When I change the screen res it goes back to a propper pointer but as soon as I mouse over anything (i.e. select Internet) it goes back to being stuffed.
[08:30] <pabs3> anyone remember what that linux distro is that uses paths like /Applications/Gimp/2.2/... ?
[08:31] <acab_> ciao a tutti
[08:31] <acab_> c'e nessuno?
[08:31] <eyequeue> !it
[08:31] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[08:32] <Richman> hi
[08:32] <acab_> ok sorry
[08:32] <Richman> hi
[08:32] <eyequeue> was that italian?
[08:32] <acab_> hi
[08:32] <dmsantam> eyequeue, yep
[08:32] <dmsantam> acab_, come va?
[08:32] <acab_> yes i'm italian
[08:32] <eyequeue> acab_, no problem, it's just that i can't help except in english, most here as well
[08:32] <TheMoebius> whats the gnome photo viewer application called?
[08:33] <eyequeue> TheMoebius, eog, eye of gnome?
[08:33] <Richman> does aanyone know any good software to make a new drive parition without reformatting
[08:33] <JasonBox> Anyone use 6.06 on VMWare? I'm having no success with installation -- 5.10 works great on the same system under VMWare Workstation 5.5.1
[08:33] <eyequeue> TheMoebius, gthumb too?  gimp? :)
[08:33] <DJAdmiral> what kind of partition do you want to make?
[08:34] <TheMoebius> eyequeue: whys it installed and not in the graphics menu?
[08:34] <acab_> i've installed ubuntu yesterday for the first time
[08:34] <tzuki> welcome to the club!!! its great
[08:35] <eyequeue> TheMoebius, it's in the nenu here, but you can try applications > accessories > alacarte menu editor
[08:35] <acab_> yes but i've tried to install the drivers for my ati radeon :(
[08:35] <TheMoebius> eyequeue: hmm yeah I'm trying to use it to flip through some of my photos and delete the ones i don't want, but when I press delete it says it can't access trash.
[08:35] <DJAdmiral> congratulations on saving yourself from the tyranny of software commercialism - good to have you with us, acab_!
[08:35] <fyrestrtr> what is a good viewer for dwf (autocad) files?
[08:35] <eyequeue> acab_, welcome
[08:35] <section31> can someone explain why i have to run executables using './'..i know that means current working directory but why doesn't it work otherwise
[08:35] <acab_> and now the window is white
[08:35] <tzuki> I have just done that and it worked FINE, but my mouse is now messed
[08:36] <dmsantam> section31, you have to tell the shell where the executable is
[08:36] <DJAdmiral> section31, because otherwise it would end up trying to look for a command rather than an executable
[08:36] <dmsantam> section31, it doesn't assume that not telling it means that its right "here"
[08:36] <eyequeue> section31, your current working directory is not in that user's $PATH
[08:36] <section31> thanks everyone...i understandn ow
[08:36] <dmsantam> section31, you're welcome :)
[08:36] <tzuki> acab_ did you download the driver from ATI
[08:37] <acab_> now yes
[08:37] <acab_> yesterday not
[08:37] <eyequeue> section31, you can always specify it manually, including /long/path/to/app/here/appname
[08:37] <IRCMonkeyx> what does it mean point and slash?  ./  ??
[08:37] <IRCMonkeyx> what does it mean point and slash?  . /  ??
[08:37] <eyequeue> IRCMonkeyx, same as pwd output
[08:37] <acab_> could somebody tell me all the steps to reget again my windows?
[08:37] <eyequeue> pwd (1)              - print name of current/working directory
[08:37] <eyequeue> pwd (1posix)         - return working directory name
[08:37] <dmsantam> IRCMonkeyx, . is the current directory
[08:37] <dcomsa> . = currentdir
[08:37] <tzuki> OK I tried to do ati.....run --buildpkg Ubuntu/606 and it did not work. Did it work for you
[08:38] <eyequeue> IRCMonkeyx, and ../ is the parent dir
[08:38] <IRCMonkeyx> but sometimes when we give long path, for example for wine , we use . /  in path, only for it, why ?
[08:39] <eyequeue> IRCMonkeyx, i think then they mean "right here"
[08:39] <tzuki>  Hi can someone please help me.  I have a 17" laptop, after installing Drapper Drake the screen resolution was really bad, after some digging I got the ATI Linux drivers and installed them. Resolution is now OK however my mouse pointer is now just a big square that looks like a hashed mess.  When I change the screen res it goes back to a proper pointer but as soon as I mouse over anything (i.e. select Internet) it goes back to being stuffed.
[08:40] <eyequeue> tzuki, my first guess is that it's something about those driver, and i can't help with that ...
[08:40] <breadcult> !ati
[08:40] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:40] <eyequeue> tzuki, however, you may be able to install another pointer from gnome-look.org, not sure if that would help though
[08:40] <illecebra> Hi, all... I am having a problem with my iRiver under Ubuntu Dapper (works fine under other distros)... When I plug it in Rythmbox (which I hate and don't use) pops up, I close it, then when I try to access my iRiver iFP-799 via ifp, it says "Device is busy. (I was unable to claim its interface.)"  Help!
[08:41] <tzuki> eyequeue: thank you I will give that a try,
[08:41] <tzuki> ubotu: ta I will take a look
[08:41] <ubotu> I know nothing about ta I will take a look - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[08:41] <eyequeue> tzuki, again, i don't know that it will help, but maybe
[08:42] <eyequeue> tzuki, ubotu is our bot :)
[08:42] <tzuki> Doh!! just figures that out.  thanx I will let you know :)
[08:42] <IRCMonkeyx> when we code java in ubuntu, does java eat the ram like in windows ?
[08:43] <acab_> i'll try ty
[08:43] <fyrestrtr> IRCMonkeyx: java is java, if the app eats ram in windows, it will do the same in linux.
[08:44] <srikat> After installing xgl, my keyboard's numpad doesn't work any more. Any ideas abt how to fix it?
[08:44] <eyequeue> srikat, #ubuntu-xgl might know
[08:44] <srikat> ok
[08:44] <IRCMonkeyx> fyrestrtr: i thought that may be ram management is better in ubuntu,
[08:44] <fyrestrtr> IRCMonkeyx: its java, not ram management.
[08:45] <fyrestrtr> IRCMonkeyx: apps that are built for jre 5 do better than those with jre 2
[08:46] <IRCMonkeyx> fyrestrtr: And what about race conditions and buffer overflow , is ubuntu more secure than windows ? to attacks ?
[08:56] <FusionXN1> !Xterm
[08:56] <ubotu> I know nothing about Xterm - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[08:56] <FusionXN1> If someone says the term "open and xterm" what do they mean?
[08:58] <t-thing_> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/encryption_with_encfs_and_pam-encfs has instructions on how to make pam-encfs decrypt a directory when logged in. Isn't that big security hole? If somebody manages to get control of your hd, one could get your root account, change user's password and then login to it automatically decrypting the directory?
[08:59] <x-jd-x> hello
[08:59] <t-thing_> x-jd-x: good morning
[08:59] <FusionXN1> Whats XTERM ?
[08:59] <acab_> hi again :(
[08:59] <x-jd-x> is anyone here familiar with nubuntu
[09:00] <t-thing_> x-jd-x: ask your question, not if somebody might answer your question if you asked it
[09:00] <acab_> i've done all this step: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[09:00] <Madpilot> t-thing_, I'm not an expert, but I'm nearly certain that user passwords are already encrypted, seperately from any other encryption you might put on the system
[09:00] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, a terminal usually, not the old "XTERM" package alone, but also gnome-terminal, konsole, etc
[09:00] <acab_> i've a ATI Radeon
[09:00] <x-jd-x> I cant figure out how to view my hdd from nubuntu liveCD
[09:01] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: i dont understand someone told me for my tv tuner to pick up channels i have to set this "dvbscan /usr/local/share/dvb/dvb-t/uk-Belont | tee /home/mythtv/freeviewchannels.conf"
[09:01] <FusionXN1> dvbscan says no command found
[09:01] <acab_> but with the fglrxinfo command
[09:01] <acab_> i obtain  Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
[09:01] <Jukru> x-jd-x: what do you mean "view hdd"?
[09:01] <t-thing_> Madpilot: I think it's possible to get root access by replacing the passwords file on a hd. I'm trying to secure a laptop here, so the case of somebody getting hold of the actual hd is probable.
[09:02] <Jukru> x-jd-x: free space etc.?
[09:02] <x-jd-x> jukru I cant see the drive at all
[09:03] <acab_> what could i try to do?
[09:03] <t-thing_> x-jd-x: where do you expect to see it and in what way? You want to browse it?
[09:03] <x-jd-x> I want to view my windows partition
[09:04] <babo> how do I stop qtorrent from spitting out the 'tracker not found' modal windows all the time ? ... it doesn't seem to have any conf file ...
[09:05] <t-thing_> x-jd-x: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[09:05] <x-jd-x> thank you I will see what it says
[09:06] <t-thing_> x-jd-x: for the next time: ask your question directly and be more precise about it.
[09:06] <mar81lrt> Hi everybody
[09:07] <acab_> ho could help me with the ATI Radeon driver?
[09:07] <t-thing_> acab_: just tell us your problem

[09:08] <Richman> hi

[09:08] <maatttt> I have no sound.
[09:09] <maatttt> nforce 4 mobo with onboard sound.
[09:09] <t-thing_> maatttt: I just wrote "sound" to wiki.ubuntu.com search and I got this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems

[09:10] <J-_> what's the directory of hda1 so i can put an icon on my desktop? is it /dev/hda1? if so, i can't make a shortcut to the desktop.
[09:10] <timalot> acab_, isnt there a gamma utility that comes with the ati driver... u could try xgamma
[09:11] <acab_> now my screen is not working properly, i've tried this step: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI but when i try the fglrxinfo command i obtain OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org and not ATI Radeon
[09:11] <mar81lrt> I messed up my package-manager. Some debian printer package i got from brother.com has to be "reinstalled". But it won't work with synaptic. My problem ist that I can't remove the package either. HELP
[09:12] <t-thing_> J-_: /dev/hda1 is the device file for a partition. I'm assuming it's already mounted somewhere. Why do you want it actually?
[09:12] <narci> could some explain what mp4 is and whiter i can make my avis to mp4?
[09:12] <timalot> mar81lrt, try installing the deb files using dpkg -i file.deb
[09:13] <J-_> easier access?
[09:13] <IRCMonkeyx> any perl user ?
[09:13] <maatttt> crumbs now I have no network card either.
[09:13] <t-thing_> J-_: easier access to what?
[09:13] <mar81lrt> Thanks timalot, I'm gonna try it.
[09:13] <maatttt> would the nvidia glx driver affect my nic and sound ?
[09:13] <the_Kane> hey
[09:14] <t-thing_> J-_: check your /etc/fstab, /dev/hda1 is probably listed there with the directory it's mounted to
[09:15] <J-_> easier access to directories. if i need to go into usr or tmp, wtc
[09:15] <J-_> k cool thanks.
[09:15] <narci> mayby it is ezier to get a avi player for symbian?
[09:16] <the_Kane> t-thing: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224611

[09:16] <narci> what is mp4?

[09:17] <FusionXN1> Is there a keyboard shortcut to show the screensaver?
[09:17] <mar81lrt> I got error 127
[09:17] <ubuntu_supporter> hi nerds
[09:18] <narci> mp4 is used for cellphones to.
[09:18] <t-thing_> the_Kane: did you search the forum for "i810 opengl" ?

[09:26] <the_Kane> t-thing: got any ideas to point me in the right direction?
[09:26] <Richman_2> firefox
[09:26] <thundr> not by default.  Can't find archive". The package can't be removed with "apt-get remove". I get the same error.
[09:26] <tom1502> morning
[09:27] <Richman_2> yay
[09:27] <Richman_2> have you heard about sunbird
[09:27] <ccooke> Richman_2: I've used it quite a bit
[09:27] <t-thing_> the_Kane: perhaps xserver-xorg-driver-i810 package though you might not get opengl. Try to search more. Good luck :)
[09:27] <eyequeue> Richman_2, firefox for ubuntu, others for kubuntu/xubuntu
[09:27] <Richman_2> good isnt it
[09:27] <the_Kane> t-thing cheers
[09:27] <thundr> Richman_2, ccooke: sunbird?
[09:28] <Richman_2> is there a way to run photoshop CS2 on ubuntu
[09:28] <tom1502> does anyone knows how to increase loglevel / verbosity of ACPI / acpid ?
[09:28] <tom1502> Richman_2 check appdb on winehq.org
[09:28] <ccooke> Richman_2: indeed. It's not stable enough to be packaged in Ubuntu yet, though (however, it's available as an XPI to install easily, so that's no real trouble)
[09:28] <Richman_2> ty
[09:28] <eyequeue> Richman_2, i wish there was a sunbird deb for ubuntu
[09:29] <billyfoxtrot> Do you have to compile sunbird?
[09:29] <Richman_2> isn't it out yet
[09:29] <ccooke> billyfoxtrot: no, you can install it as an XPI in firefox or thunderbird
[09:30] <mar81lrt> can I somehow reset the package manager when one package is messed up and blocks the whole thing?
[09:30] <ccooke> thundr: it's the new version of the mozilla calendar
[09:30] <Richman_2> i am still waiting for my ubuntu cd
[09:30] <billyfoxtrot> ccooke:  cool, thanks.  I think i'm going to do that right now.
[09:30] <ccooke> mar81lrt: okay, what exactly is the problem? you've installed a package that wasn't built for ubuntu, is that it?
[09:31] <Richman_2> i have heaps of apps on my thumbdrive
[09:31] <Crescendo> How do I remove a keychain entry?
[09:31] <ccooke> mar81lrt: I can talk you through fixing that, probably
[09:31] <mar81lrt> Yes. It was actualy for debian. a printer package.
[09:31] <Richman_2> has anyone here heard of blockland
[09:31] <ccooke> mar81lrt: Okay. Do you know about the pastebin?
[09:31] <x-jd-x> Ok, I have tried! I cant figure out why I cant see my hard drive from nubuntu 6.06 LiveCD. I have a Ubuntu partition and a Windows Partition but I cant see the hard drive at all. I have been into /dev/hda1 but it is grayed out. I have tried mounting it from the root terminal but I get an error "wrong fs type, bad optoin, bad superblock on /dev/hda1, missing codepage or other error"
[09:32] <mar81lrt> no. what's that
[09:32] <Richman_2> game
[09:32] <Richman_2> you build stuff
[09:32] <Richman_2> addictive
[09:32] <ccooke> mar81lrt: I'd like you to try uninstalling it, and paste the error message into the website ubotu is about to tell you:
[09:32] <ccooke> !pastebin
[09:32] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[09:32] <ccooke> (then give us the link)
[09:33] <ccooke> mar81lrt: What's most likely is, the package has some scripts in it which don't work on Ubuntu - and their failur prevents it from being removed
[09:33] <ccooke> mar81lrt: fixing that is easy enough
[09:33] <Richman_2> I was using CentOS today
[09:33] <Crescendo> CentOS was nice.
[09:34] <Richman_2> what is ubuntu like
[09:34] <Crescendo> Is nice, rather.
[09:34] <Richman_2> easy?
[09:34] <mar81lrt> ccooke, the actual error message is in german. because my system is
[09:34] <Crescendo> Yeah.

[09:35] <Richman_2> how can i dual boot ubuntu and windows without reformatting my HD
[09:35] <samuel__> speak italien?
[09:35] <ccooke> Richman_2: Easier to work with, in many ways. I think it's easier on the eye, too
[09:35] <mar81lrt> E: Das Paket hl1430lpr muss reinstalliert werden, ich kann aber kein Archiv dafr finden.

[09:36] <dark_light> SaLsIcHa, welcome=D
[09:36] <mar81lrt> i did "apt-get remove hl1430lpr
[09:36] <x-jd-x> Richman: I think you will have to format the drive

[09:37] <Richman_2> how can i dual boot ubuntu and windows xp without having to reformat my HD?
[09:37] <ccooke> mar81lrt: Please run 'dpkg -l hl1430lpr'
[09:37] <Richman_2> oh
[09:37] <ccooke> mar81lrt: and use the pastebin, don't paste the result into channel
[09:37] <fyrestrtr> Richman_2: the installer will take care of that for you
[09:37] <Richman_2> what about parition magic?
[09:37] <ccooke> Richman_2: the installer can resize a windows partition

[09:39] <thundr> Richman_2:
[09:39] <x-jd-x> Richman: When I installed a dual boot I ran the install. You will get the option to repartition you drive. Reduce the size of you ntfs drive and format the free space you make. Make sure to keep you xp partition as the active partition  because it will change when you format you linux partition. CHANGE IT BACK
[09:39] <Richman_2> ????
[09:39] <Richman_2> kk
[09:39] <thundr> Richman_2: You can use partition magic, but the installer works fine for me
[09:39] <dark_light> what is the nvidia proprietary driver's package name?
[09:39] <gnomefreak> Richman_2: full install you need atleast 2.6 gigs (i would plan on around 10gig to be safe)
[09:39] <Richman_2> thank you

[09:40] <ccooke> *sigh* I warned him...
[09:40] <thundr> Richman_2:  A swap partition is good too

[09:44] <fyrestrtr> x-jd-x: is it already mounted?
[09:44] <x-jd-x> no
[09:44] <fyrestrtr> Richman_2: it works in ubuntu, if that's what you are concerned about.
[09:44] <gnomefreak> Richman_2: ive heard of it but never tried to run it
[09:44] <fyrestrtr> x-jd-x: how have you checked?
[09:45] <ccooke> mar81lrt: Try 'sudo apt-get -f install' (and put the output in pastebin)
[09:45] <spades> Crescendo you just empty out known_hosts and it will ask to add all the keys to it next time you ssh into
[09:45] <Richman_2> good because i really like it

[09:46] <Richman_2> has anyone seen portableapps.com
[09:46] <gnomefreak> Richman_2: take a look at packages.ubuntu.com and click on dapper (as its the latest release)

[09:47] <Richman_2> i have slow internet so i just ordered some cd's
[09:47] <Richman_2> a few friends wanted it too
[09:47] <fyrestrtr> eddie: no, since its very beta software -- expect problems (especially if you are on ATI). On nvidia, it seems to be okay, but don't expect error-free operations.
[09:47] <x-jd-x> fyrestrtr how do I copy in the terminal
[09:47] <fyrestrtr> x-jd-x: high light whatever you want, right click.
[09:47] <Richman_2> i like nvidia

[09:48] <eyequeue> tzuki, glad to hear it works :)

[09:50] <fyrestrtr> x-jd-x: are you on ubuntu (gnome) or something else?
[09:50] <BeBraw> how could i remove files with certain type from a directory and its subdirectories easily?
[09:51] <testdog> is the installer for 6.10 the same as 6.06? cause trying to install 6.10 isn't working for me..
[09:51] <tzuki> Bye all I am off to enjoy my NEW Ubuntu version "Salagahle!"
[09:51] <DB_Blade> yes... you are, tzuki
[09:51] <bangk3> anybody can speak indonesia???
[09:52] <testdog> first, the installer screen is messed up and is shifted 3/4 of the way to the right with 1/4 black screen on left..
[09:52] <carthik> !indonesia
[09:52] <ccooke> testdog: 6.10 has not been released yet
[09:52] <ubotu> I know nothing about indonesia - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[09:52] <testdog> oh.
[09:52] <mar81lrt> @ccooke, dpkg needs "aktions-option", maybe you did a typing mistake
[09:52] <testdog> so im getting 6.06 hopefully that install will go smoothly
[09:52] <testdog> so what i downloaded is very preliminary?

[09:55] <c|int> its Cedega
[09:55] <fyrestrtr> x-jd-x: just highlight whatever text you need to copy, and then middle-click where you want to paste it.
[09:55] <fyrestrtr> bangk3: no
[09:55] <mar81lrt> I think it didn't work. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19148
[09:55] <c|int> anyone going guess?
[09:55] <testdog> come on already.. what
[09:56] <fyrestrtr> c|int: are we on a game show?
[09:56] <bangk3> oww, how much??
[09:56] <c|int> I got my wireless working finally, took since October of last year, when I first got the laptop..
[09:56] <testdog> your going to africa?
[09:56] <fyrestrtr> bangk3: $5 a month
[09:56] <c|int> dang, Acer Aspire 3610, :-)
[09:56] <Ksilebo> Hello, having some severe problems with pdflush.
[09:56] <Ksilebo> Anyone come across this ever?
[09:56] <flyinghippo> Lucky you :(
[09:56] <c|int> but I'm going give this to girlfriend, when I get the Duo Core, or next AMD MObile Laptop :)
[09:56] <flyinghippo> I don't even have high-speed

[09:57] <testdog> you mean lenovo?
[09:57] <ccooke> mar81lrt: Okay, good
[09:57] <bangk3> its a little bit expensive for my country
[09:57] <c|int> thanks though
[09:57] <testdog> you can get great discounts on IBM laptops through their sharholder program
[09:57] <fyrestrtr> testdog: not the new lenovo stuff, the classic ibm stuff.
[09:58] <ccooke> mar81lrt: the error is telling us about a post-remove script, as I said earlier
[09:58] <c|int> I actually got a pretty nice laptop, and I can't complain
[09:58] <Ksilebo> If I have to keep dealing with pdflush totally killing all performance I'm going to format this box and put Win2k3 on it instead of ubuntu.
[09:58] <testdog> oh..
[09:58] <ccooke> mar81lrt: could you put the contents of /var/lib/dpkg/info/hl1430lpr.postrm in the pastebin, please?
[09:58] <redblades> Hey all, I had my chown and chmod deleted.
[09:58] <redblades> how do I get them back?
[09:58] <redblades> I know it
[09:59] <ccooke> mar81lrt: I doubt there's anything worrying in there, but it doesn't hurt to check
[09:59] <c|int> took me a while.. to get wireless. working.. I'm just using ubuntu for right now.. I"m waiting on Debian 4 etch.. :-) to be stable, I tested with testing/unstable, and absolutley liked it,, although I just need to start compiling source packages,
[09:59] <redblades> 's ridiculous
[09:59] <fyrestrtr> I have a T43 (2Ghz Centrino, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB HDD, fingerprint scanner, disk shock absorber, built-in encryption chip). Very nice machine, very light and very durable.
[09:59] <redblades> But seriously, I'd appreciate if you could help.
[09:59] <fyrestrtr> redblades: you had what?
[09:59] <bangk3> fyrestrtrwhy i can't install warcraft 3 with wine
[09:59] <bangk3> fyrestrtr: why i can't install warcraft 3 with wine
[09:59] <fyrestrtr> bangk3: I don't know, read the information on http://appdb.winehq.org
[09:59] <c|int> I have a workstation as well, but debian is more a universal Operating System, which I'm not saying ubuntu is bad.. heck I made debian super fast. to that of the ++ services you have to disabled, edit run levels, etc on ubuntu :)
[10:00] <redblades> Somebody deleted chown and chmod
[10:00] <pastortom> yeah
[10:00] <pastortom> wuzzup guys
[10:00] <bangk3> oh,, thanks
[10:00] <Ksilebo> I take it no one knows a thing about pdflush here....
[10:00] <c|int> bang, I"m a reverse engineer, etc.. well doing the things that an RE would do, and go to College for Systems Engineering.. IT / Computer Science, ... I'll send you my version, I made open etc..
[10:00] <pastortom> hey guys
[10:00] <pastortom> anyone here have any experience with Ubuntu on iMac G3?
[10:01] <c|int> its for testing purposes only, so don't think you can sell to people and make money
[10:01] <redblades> Oh and how do I clear the bitchx log?
[10:01] <c|int> hear me bangk3?
[10:01] <fyrestrtr> redblades: ask in #bitchx
[10:01] <bangk3> yup
[10:01] <pastortom> Ive installed a brand new slim Laptop NEC dvd-burner in this G3 iMac but it wont reckognize the ubuntu desktop version cd during bootup
[10:01] <c|int> okay :)
[10:01] <pastortom> dont tell me I have to use the original 24x apple cd-rom drive?
[10:02] <c|int> like me saids, I'm going to use debian alot more, and can't wait on the stable release of etch :-)
[10:02] <pastortom> I had to use that one when I installed the OS 9.2 system on it, the machine wouldnt reckognize the install cd with the new dvd-drive
[10:02] <c|int> my issue, of why not using debian alot, is hardware issue :)
[10:02] <mar81lrt> @ ccooke: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19149
[10:02] <c|int> however, I got alot of books on debian recently.. linux desktop hacks, linux multimedia hacks, as well, and all kinds of cool books :-)
[10:03] <ccooke> mar81lrt: Excellent. Now, 'sudo rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/info/hl1430lpr.postrm'
[10:03] <ccooke> mar81lrt: And try the dpkg line I gave you before again
[10:03] <c|int> 1 thing I'll say . .glad of when I was making myself think with debian, is it gives you alot of vision how to redo your ubuntu system, or systems**
[10:03] <FusionXN1> how do u mount an ISO in ubuntu
[10:04] <FusionXN1> !iso
[10:04] <ubotu> To mount an .iso image: sudo mount -o loop my.iso /some/mountpoint - bin/cue can be converted to iso with bchunk  .iso images of Ubuntu CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com Always verify the .iso before burning, see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[10:04] <LoneShadow> using mount and loop device ?
[10:04] <mar81lrt> @ccooke: okay it's gone
[10:04] <Ksilebo> And...pdflush is still thrashing my array...
[10:04] <ccooke> mar81lrt: There you go,then
[10:05] <c|int> and hey guys,
[10:05] <c|int> that ubuntu hacks, is really nice book to get,, not too bad on price either
[10:05] <ccooke> mar81lrt: In future, only install packages built for Ubuntu :-)
[10:05] <c|int> thats why, I can't wait on .. debian etch stable :-)
[10:06] <c|int> I"m going be straight up.. debianized :-)
[10:06] <samuel__> #ubuntu-it
[10:06] <Geev8> any body can help me am using a computer with ubuntu, it was ok in speed of opening programs even internet for several month but now days the speed is not good any more is there any thing i can do to improve it lather that re-formatting it.
[10:06] <mar81lrt> ccooke: no not my proble, only the file
[10:07] <ccooke> mar81lrt: I don't understand?
[10:07] <c|int> hm.. speed dropping in ubuntu.. eh... I think I"m going start reading every dam book I got on debian  , and linux system administration, I know what your talking about. because I had some issues of ubuntu myself, but eh, its not bad,, :-)
[10:08] <c|int> I say, if you want a more pure OS, linux system, but configuration sometimes, gets you what you want.. debian is the way to go.. however ubuntu realy compatible with alot of stuff, just not near as stable as a debian system, no offense
[10:09] <maatt> could someone help with my No Sound issue ?
[10:09] <c|int> no offense to ubuntu, you sure are on the right path, but come on.. slow down on that.. 256 mb of ram, for live cd installer.. heh.. thats why I use the ac
[10:09] <maatt> I have no sound, but apps appear to play. this is my amixer output http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19146
[10:09] <mar81lrt> ccooke: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19150
[10:09] <BazziR> c|int well "pure" OS is still (c) Gentoo ;-)
[10:09] <c|int> nah, I tried gentoo, and slackware,
[10:09] <fyrestrtr> c|int: take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:09] <c|int> didn't like them, and really, there is no pure OS for linux anyways, its what the user makes it. and you would know that, as well would other developers
[10:09] <dnkidjit> c|int: no, its much too recent to be really stable. its more like a stabilified debian sid installation
[10:09] <dibblego> trying to install the NVidia driver; if I switch from the "nv" driver to "nvidia" in xorg.conf, I get a kernel panic on booting; Ubuntu 6.06 2.6.15-23-386, NVidia-Linux-x86-1.0.8762
[10:10] <fyrestrtr> dibblego: which nvidia driver are you trying?
[10:10] <c|int> yes, I'm well aware of that, I"m still testing and patching up my debian system, testing/unstable etch, on my workstation
[10:10] <ccooke> mar81lrt: Please run 'dpkg -l hl1430lpr'
[10:10] <dibblego> fyrestrtr, NVidia-Linux-x86-1.0.8762
[10:10] <c|int> :-)
[10:11] <fyrestrtr> dibblego: did you read the wiki?
[10:11] <Geev8> any body can help me am using a computer with ubuntu, it was ok in speed of opening programs even internet for several month but now days the speed is not good any more is there any thing i can do to improve it lather that re-formatting it.
[10:11] <dibblego> fyrestrtr, no, should I have?
[10:11] <fyrestrtr> dibblego: yes
[10:11] <nrdb> I am installing a new ubuntu, I was wondering how you stop it automattically starting the X server (gdm), but allow it to be still started manually by startx?
[10:11] <dibblego> fyrestrtr, righto, thanks; which specific part of the wiki?
[10:11] <fyrestrtr> dibblego: the one that talks about nvidia :)
[10:11] <fyrestrtr> !nvidia > dibblego
[10:11] <mar81lrt> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19151
[10:12] <c|int> oh and, my workstation.. debian, with an xfs, really nice :))
[10:12] <dibblego> ok thanks
[10:12] <eitch0000_> nrdb: just delete the symlink in rc2.d to gdm
[10:12] <fyrestrtr> eitch0000_: nooooo
[10:12] <nrdb> Geev8: did it slow down?
[10:12] <eitch0000_> fyrestrtr: why not? you can put it back with a rc-update gdm
[10:12] <fyrestrtr> nrdb: use bum or update-rc.d to edit what runs at bootup, and remove gdm
[10:12] <Geev8> nrdb: yap as days gois it verry slow
[10:13] <fyrestrtr> eitch0000_: because, you don't delete symlinks manually. Don't tell people to do that.
[10:13] <maatt> my sound hardware appears to be detected, but no actual sound come from my speakers.
[10:13] <fyrestrtr> eitch0000_: there are tools available to do it.
[10:13] <fyrestrtr> eitch0000_: and this is not gentoo, there is no rc-update
[10:13] <eitch0000_> fyrestrtr: well... ok but same thing anyway...
[10:13] <fyrestrtr> maatt: did you already unmute the channels?
[10:14] <maatt> all channels are unmuted
[10:14] <nrdb> eitch0000_: fyrestrtr: ok I will look at that once the install finishes.
[10:14] <eitch0000_> fyrestrtr: yeah, I know... turned it around... update-rc.d =)) gg

[10:14] <ccooke> mar81lrt: Right. The package has no been removed.
[10:15] <ccooke> mar81lrt: now, that is.
[10:15] <ccooke> mar81lrt: okay?
[10:15] <maatt> ah, unmuted and zero volume.
[10:15] <ccooke> mar81lrt: It's still listed because you have some files that the package thinks were to do with it, but aren't
[10:15] <maatt> superb.  thanks.
[10:16] <ccooke> mar81lrt: however, all files and directories from the package are now gone.
[10:16] <mar81lrt> i see it was a really big mistake to try and install that package
[10:16] <ccooke> mar81lrt: nothing that can't be fixed.
[10:16] <sting> Hello, I have a question regarding burning the ubuntu .iso image.
[10:16] <Geev8> any body can help me am using a computer with ubuntu, it was ok in speed of opening programs even internet for several month but now days the speed is not good any more, is there any thing i can do to improve it lather that re-formatting it.
[10:17] <fyrestrtr> sting: did you already read the wiki? most questions are answered there :)
[10:17] <mar81lrt> I just tried synaptic again and i get this message: E: Es ist ein interner Fehler beim ffnen der zwischenspeicherten Paketliste aufgetreten (1): Bitte melden Sie diesen Fehler.
[10:17] <sting> fyrestrtr: googled around a lot (groups and web), lemme go check the wiki quickly in case google wouldn't have ht it
[10:18] <FusionXN1> How do you unmount an ISO im struggling
[10:18] <mar81lrt> so my problem is still there
[10:18] <fyrestrtr> !iso > sting
[10:18] <woodwizzle> Whar is that webpage that allows you to post brainstorming ideas for Edgy or Edgy + 1. I thought it was called Braindump, but my searches have been entirely futile
[10:18] <sting> fyrestrtr: basically, is the ubuntu .iso image supposed to fit on a 700 MB CD-R?
[10:19] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, sudo umount /mountpoint
[10:19] <sting> fyre, what do you mean?
[10:19] <Ksilebo> Anyone have issues with pdflush before? Severe issues with load and such.
[10:19] <fyrestrtr> sting: yes, it won't fit on a 650 mb one
[10:19] <FusionXN1> eyequeue: mountpoint how can i find out which it is
[10:19] <eyequeue> FusionXN1, where did you mount it?  try "df"
[10:19] <FusionXN1> oh  desktop
[10:19] <mar81lrt>  what's going on with these files? fuchur@fuchur-laptop:/var/lib/dpkg/info$ ls hl1430* hl1430lpr.conffiles  hl1430lpr.postinst  hl1430lpr.prerm hl1430lpr.list       hl1430lpr.postrm
[10:19] <fyrestrtr> woodwizzle: #ubuntu+1
[10:19] <FusionXN1> its busy?!
[10:19] <sting> fyre: I am using 700 MB and I am burning it as an .iso (not just burning the .iso as a file) using nero 6. Nero claims media not big enough.
[10:20] <fyrestrtr> FusionXN1: you are using it somewhere.
[10:20] <FusionXN1> nope
[10:20] <fyrestrtr> sting: strange, is it an 80 min, 700 MB blank?
[10:20] <sting> yes
[10:20] <sting> fyre: yes
[10:21] <sting> fyre: nothing to do wiht ubuntu, but do you know if 90 min CD-R's are handily available?
[10:21] <FusionXN1> sting - that happened to me NERI 7 erased a cd-rw and then it kept saying it was too small
[10:21] <FusionXN1> NERO*
[10:21] <dibblego> sting, fwiw, I used to use Nero and it reported odd things like that
[10:22] <sting> dibb, fusion: thanks. Any other software you would suggest to burn an .iso under windows?
[10:22] <FusionXN1> brb
[10:22] <frogzoo> sting: try k3b
[10:22] <[NP] Tangent> k3b is good
[10:22] <sting> frogzoo: that's a win app?
[10:22] <frogzoo> sting: no, soz
[10:22] <fyrestrtr> sting: hrmm, try http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
[10:22] <frogzoo> sting: get a better operating system :)
[10:23] <sting> frogzoo: well yes, I'm in the process of doing so, chicken and egg!
[10:23] <Ksilebo> If I keep having this load issue I can't use Ubuntu anymore...
[10:23] <fyrestrtr> Ksilebo: why don't you ask the developer of that software?
[10:23] <frogzoo> sting: it's a redmond conspiracy!
[10:23] <[corn] > I'll soon find out
[10:23] <nrdb> If I was to remove the gdm package would I still be able to use 'startx' to start the X server etc.
[10:23] <Ksilebo> pdflush?
[10:23] <redblades> Hi, sorry, I have some issues.
[10:23] <Ksilebo> pdflush seems to be something in most distributions.
[10:23] <el_capitan> I'm having trouble installing gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse
[10:23] <Ksilebo> I have no idea what it is, google doesn't tell me anything really useful.
[10:23] <Ksilebo> Posted on the forums
[10:24] <redblades> A friend of mine was fucking around, and removed chown chmod and bach,rc
[10:24] <el_capitan> is there anyone who could help me for a few minutes
[10:24] <redblades> How can I restore them?
[10:24] <fyrestrtr> Ksilebo: I don't even have that binary on my system.
[10:24] <fyrestrtr> redblades: mind the language
[10:24] <ompaul> !info gstreamer
[10:24] <ubotu> Package gstreamer does not exist in dapper
[10:24] <Ksilebo> Nor I.
[10:24] <frogzoo> sting: perhaps try updating your cdrom's bios? might improve media support, dunno
[10:24] <ompaul> !info gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse
[10:24] <Ksilebo> Its not a package, I think
[10:24] <sting> fyre: tring that
[10:24] <ubotu> gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse: GStreamer plugins from the "bad" set (Multiverse Variant). In repository multiverse, is optional. Version 0.10.3-3 (dapper), package size 49 kB, installed size 144 kB
[10:24] <redblades> fyrestrtr, sorry, I'm kinda annoyed.
[10:24] <ompaul> !multiverse > el_capitan
[10:25] <el_capitan> I've enabled the multiverse things
[10:25] <fyrestrtr> redblades: copy them from another ubuntu install, or from the livecd install.
[10:25] <sting> frogzoo: i'm using a dell insp 8500, not too sure what the burner's brand is.
[10:25] <ompaul> el_capitan, read the message from the bot and add the repos the try to install it
[10:25] <fyrestrtr> sting: dmesg will tell you, or lspci
[10:25] <el_capitan> I have added the multiverse repos
[10:25] <redblades> fyrestrtr, won't they be out of date?
[10:25] <fyrestrtr> el_capitan: have you updated? sudo apt-get update
[10:25] <fyrestrtr> redblades: those things aren't updated.
[10:25] <fyrestrtr> redblades: too often :)
[10:25] <redblades> Oh?
[10:25] <redblades> EXELEENET
[10:26] <sting> fyre: ok, that will be once i'm back on linux though
[10:26] <nrdb> If I was to remove the gdm package would I still be able to use 'startx' to start the X server etc.
[10:26] <fyrestrtr> sting: on Windows you can get the same information from the device manager.
[10:26] <fyrestrtr> nrdb: why do you want to remove it?
[10:26] <el_capitan> the other bad files are there
[10:26] <el_capitan> its just the multiverse one isnt
[10:27] <Ksilebo> sting: Check th MD5 sum of the image you downloaded? Might be corrupt?
[10:27] <fyrestrtr> el_capitan: read !restrictredformats
[10:27] <el_capitan> and when I downloaded it manually to intall it it says that its missing libc6
[10:27] <el_capitan> but thats installed
[10:27] <el_capitan> I've read that too
[10:27] <eddie> is there a par utility for linux?
[10:27] <nrdb> fyrestrtr: I don't want to auto start the x server or any update to reset it to start automatically.
[10:27] <fyrestrtr> el_capitan: *don't* manually install it.
[10:28] <el_capitan> Well, it didnt
[10:28] <sting> fyre: right
[10:28] <fyrestrtr> nrdb: use bum, and remove gdm from the startup scripts.
[10:28] <nrdb> fyrestrtr: what is 'bum
[10:28] <fyrestrtr> sting: but its really not the problem (your burner model/make). Just verify the checksum and use something else to burn it (like the program I linked). It worked for me.
[10:28] <fyrestrtr> !info bum
[10:28] <ubotu> bum: graphical runlevel editor. In repository universe, is optional. Version 2.1.5-1build1 (dapper), package size 74 kB, installed size 484 kB
[10:28] <mar81lrt> ccooke: where are you?
[10:28] <JamieBE> Morning everyone.
[10:29] <el_capitan> Dont worry, I got it
[10:29] <el_capitan> thanks for youre help
[10:29] <sn00p> Hello I cant play live streaming videos in mozilla, I installed mplayerplug-in and the streams dont work how come?
[10:29] <el_capitan> :)
[10:29] <wiking> hei! big respect to new Ubuntu! now i can hear any sound! :) I am so happy! Thanx You all for help and all other! I love You all!
[10:29] <JamieBE> can someone help me with a mounting problem on the desktop please
[10:30] <fyrestrtr> JamieBE: describe the situation.
[10:30] <ccooke> mar81lrt: London.
[10:31] <JamieBE> hi fyrestrtr: everything worx perfectly - but when a device mounts i really hate when it sticks itself on the desktop any old place
[10:31] <JamieBE> can this be turned of, while still automounting?
[10:31] <mar81lrt> cooke: do you think i need to remove more files?
[10:31] <wiking> just one question - please help me to install plugins/decoders for totem
[10:32] <fyrestrtr> JamieBE: hrmm, good question. I don't know how to do it, but I'm sure its possible.
[10:32] <ccooke> mar81lrt: I think you're safe enough now.
[10:33] <JamieBE> fyrestrtr: you would think it would be pretty simple huh?
[10:33] <mar81lrt> ccooke: so what should i try next?
[10:33] <fyrestrtr> JamieBE: yeah its things done to make life easy that cause us the most annoyances :)
[10:34] <wiking> please help me to install plugins/decoders for totem
[10:34] <ccooke> mar81lrt: nothing. it's done.
[10:34] <fyrestrtr> I hated it when it would put the icon *over* another icon I already had on the desktop -- solution? clear up my desktop lol.
[10:34] <fyrestrtr> wiking: read the !restrictedformats wiki entry.
[10:35] <wiking> fyrestrtr: where to find it?
[10:35] <fyrestrtr> !restrictedformats
[10:35] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[10:35] <JamieBE> Hey, wiking: EasyUbuntu managed all my codecs in a single, click it's really coolamundo!
[10:36] <eddie> is there a par utility for linux?
[10:36] <mar81lrt> but i still get this message from apt-get http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19154
[10:36] <fyrestrtr> eddie: par utility?
[10:37] <ccooke> mar81lrt: ... Okay, that's interesting
[10:37] <ccooke> mar81lrt: try 'sudo apt-get -f install' now.
[10:38] <Asc> Is it possible to configure grub on boot, before it mounts the root partition?
[10:38] <mar81lrt> ccooke: still the same error message
[10:38] <eddie> fyrestrtr, yes like quickpar for windows. it fixes files that are corrupt or incomplete after you download them.
[10:39] <redblades> Where can I download chown, chmod?
[10:40] <ccooke> mar81lrt: okay. give me the error messages 'dpkg --purge hl1440lpr' returns now?
[10:40] <eitch0000_> Asc: yeah, when you're in the menu, cou can type e to edit a specific line.
[10:40] <fyrestrtr> eddie: hrmm, there might be something like that (I'm sure there is) but I don't know the exact package name. You could try searching the repositories for it.
[10:41] <Asc> eitch0000_: thanks.
[10:41] <eitch0000_> Asc: np
[10:41] <grigora> both links on the website (desktop and server) take to the same page, do both use the same ISO?
[10:41] <mar81lrt> dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten von hl1440lpr (--purge): Paket ist in einem sehr schlechten inkonsistenten Zustand - Sie sollten es erneut installieren, bevor Sie es zu entfernen versuchen. Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von: hl1440lpr
[10:42] <fyrestrtr> grigora: there is one download page, from there you choose the different images.
[10:42] <grigora> fyrestrtr: ah, thanks
[10:42] <JamieBE> fyrestrtr: I was looking at gnome-volume-properties - There's no way of doing it in here...is there?
[10:43] <grigora> fyrestrtr: is there any way to install that without terminal access, just physical connection and ssh?
[10:43] <fyrestrtr> redblades: sudo aptitude reinstall coreutils <-- that should take care of it.
[10:43] <fyrestrtr> grigora: sure, use apt-get
[10:43] <ccooke> mar81lrt: that *is* pretty bad, then
[10:44] <fyrestrtr> JamieBE: you would need a proper mixer app
[10:44] <JamieBE> mixer?
[10:44] <grigora> fyrestrtr: I have an old version of redhat running on a machine and I need to install Ubuntu server on it, but I don
[10:44] <grigora> 't
[10:44] <mar81lrt> ccooke: i still get 4 files listed for /var/lib/dpkg/info$ ls hl1430*
[10:44] <grigora> have a monitor and a keyboard, just an ssh connection
[10:45] <FusionXN1> Can someone look at this for me please... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19156
[10:45] <fyrestrtr> JamieBE: like gnome-alsamixer alsamixergui or alsa-tools-gui
[10:45] <ccooke> mar81lrt: what are they?
[10:45] <fyrestrtr> grigora: try looking up information on the alternate install wiki
[10:45] <gimmulf> Is Evolution better than Thunderbird?
[10:45] <JamieBE> fyrestarter: gnome-volume-properties is a disk management utility. It specifies actions to take on device detection...
[10:46] <ccooke> mar81lrt: does one end in '.list' ?
[10:46] <ccooke> mar81lrt: (it should)
[10:46] <fyrestrtr> gimmulf: its two different things. Evolution has calendar and contact, it syncs with exchange, etc. Its more like Outlook.
[10:46] <ccooke> mar81lrt: if so, dump them all into pastebin
[10:46] <ccooke> mar81lrt: (names and contents)
[10:46] <fyrestrtr> JamieBE: oh wait, are you with the automount thing? Sorry, wrong person!
[10:46] <gimmulf> fyrestrtr:  ahh ok, cool
[10:46] <JamieBE> LOL
[10:46] <JamieBE> NP
[10:47] <fyrestrtr> someone was wondering about volumes and mixing....
[10:47] <JamieBE> You had me a little thrown off there.
[10:47] <mar81lrt> yes. they are hl1430lpr.conffiles , .postinst, .list and    .prerm
[10:47] <JamieBE> Desktops and Disk mounting issue - Play with the volume, that'll sort it! :p
[10:48] <FusionXN1> Can someone look at this for me? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19156
[10:48] <yipe> 1
[10:48] <grigora> fyrestrtr: can't find much on alternate installs ...
[10:50] <Flannel> grigora: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation  might have some info useful to you
[10:50] <Enverex> Where can I request for packages to be added to Synaptic?
[10:50] <grigora> Flannel: thanks
[10:50] <mar81lrt> hoops, now the files are gone. so i was wrong. but why is the package still there?
[10:51] <ccooke> mar81lrt: Okay, right. The files are all gone...
[10:51] <ccooke> mar81lrt: but there's still an entry in the database, yes?
[10:52] <ccooke> mar81lrt: do you still have the original .deb file?
[10:52] <Flannel> Enverex: contact MOTU, here's a wiki page about it: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/New
[10:52] <nosklo> I need help to configure pam, the pam_group module, to insert users in audio group automatically on login. Does somebody has any experience? I have tried everything I know and nothing till now.
[10:52] <tsume> ..
[10:52] <mar81lrt> yes i still have the .deb file.
[10:52] <tsume> why in the hell do they have the old outdated mrv8k driver in modules if it doesn't work. ffs
[10:52] <ccooke> mar81lrt: okay. Let's see if we can get it "sort of" installed safely...
[10:53] <Enverex> Flannel, heh, I am a MOTU but I thought I remember seeing a page (one on launchpad and one in the Wiki) with lists of things people wanted added
[10:53] <tsume> so, always have to delete mrv8k.ko every upgrade
[10:53] <tsume> I guess its best to just make a detection script
[10:53] <ccooke> mar81lrt: I'd like you to run 'dpkg --unpack /path/to/debfile' (giving the path to the .deb file, rather than "/path/to/debfile")
[10:53] <JamieBE> Does anyone know if there is a way of hiding the printer and networking icon next to the clock?
[10:53] <fyrestrtr> girgora: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation the Advanced section
[10:54] <ccooke> mar81lrt: again, all output to pastebin please
[10:54] <fyrestrtr> tsume: just blacklist it.
[10:54] <tsume> fyrestrtr: apt can blacklist files?
[10:54] <fyrestrtr> no, I mean blacklist the module so it never gets loaded.
[10:54] <Flannel> Enverex: ah, well, there might be.  It'll probably be under the /MOTU page though
[10:54] <tsume> fyrestrtr: oh yeah :)
[10:55] <Enverex> Flannel, erm, I don't think I want to bother with the requests page on that link you gave, here's an example from it "z81: Sinclair ZX8[01]  emulator, requested 2003 days ago."
[10:56] <tsume> fyrestrtr: thing just pisses me off, whoever upgraded the mrv8k.ko module this release for ubuntu doesn't use marvell wireless cards, its very clear it is unstable and doesn't work no matter if you get the firmware extracted and in the right place because of the card detections don't properly load the firmware, heh.
[10:57] <Flannel> Enverex: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/Candidates and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/Candidates/Kubuntu
[10:57] <mar81lrt> ccooke: there you go http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19157
[10:58] <record> hi there
[10:59] <mar81lrt> 'apt-get check' still has the same error message
[11:00] <FusionXN1> Can someone help me on this please: configure: error: this packages requires a curses library
[11:00] <Enverex> ugh, editing that Wiki page is HORRIBLE
[11:00] <nosklo> FusionXN1, install libcurses
[11:00] <[Chameleon] > is someone knowledgeable in security matters available to assist me with repairing my server after a break-in?
[11:01] <FusionXN1> nosklo: the only ones i dont have are the gui ones
[11:01] <nosklo> FusionXN1, package libcurses-dev
[11:01] <nosklo> FusionXN1, package libncurses-dev
[11:01] <FusionXN1> thanks 1 mo
[11:02] <_stev_> I use md5sum <file>.iso to check the if it is not corrupt, is there another way without checking the number manually?
[11:03] <record> how come selecting recovery mode on boot leads me directly to root console without asking any password; root is considered switched off; any user can be root?
[11:03] <nosklo> _stev_, md5sum -c md5file
[11:03] <timalot> record: thats called runlevel 1 ... there is no login
[11:03] <Locke> can anyone help me with Samba?
[11:03] <nosklo> _stev_, this autochecks all md5sums in md5file
[11:04] <ccooke> mar81lrt: (sorry I take a while to respond - I'm working here)
[11:04] <_stev_> nosklo: aha! let's give it a try
[11:04] <mkns> Locke - what help do you need?
[11:04] <FusionXN1> nosklo: thanks working
[11:04] <ccooke> mar81lrt: Okay. That looks to have unpacked properly...
[11:04] <nosklo> record, it is "recovery" mode
[11:05] <mkns> FusionXN1 - how's it going today?  Still having problems?
[11:05] <ccooke> mar81lrt: try 'dpkg -l hl1430lpr' again - I want to see if the status has changed
[11:05] <nosklo> record, you can remove it tho
[11:05] <Locke> mkns: the whole thing, lol, i've read all the tutorials online and they aren't really helping, right now i've got most of it set up, i just need to set it up so i can download/upload files onto Linux from my Windows PC
[11:05] <FusionXN1> mkns - today? LOl im addicted to linux anit been to bed yet and its 10am. Ya a few problems
[11:05] <dibblego> installing the NVidia driver, after sudo nvidia-glx-config enable, should I expect to see a change to /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[11:05] <FusionXN1> Hmm 2 sound cards have come up - which to use HDA intel or legacy?
[11:05] <record> I turned off recovery mode but the debian in this place asked for a password to continue; ubuntu is silent for pass
[11:06] <mkns> 10am - you must be in the UK like me?
[11:06] <FusionXN1> mkns yes
[11:06] <mkns> Locke - so you want to see your linux box from Windows to xfer files to it
[11:06] <Locke> mkns: yes
[11:06] <[Chameleon] > FusionXN1: use Intel
[11:07] <mkns> Locke - I assume you have Samba installed
[11:07] <FusionXN1> k thanks
[11:07] <[Chameleon] > np
[11:07] <Locke> mkns: yes
[11:07] <mkns> Locke - have you set up a user account for you to log on with?
[11:07] <Locke> mkns: thats where i'm having the problem
[11:07] <mar81lrt> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19158
[11:07] <mkns> i see
[11:08] <mkns> Locke - and what is the problem specifically?
[11:08] <ccooke> mar81lrt: (please prefix things with my nick - it helps me to see that you've said something - remember, this is a busy channel)
[11:08] <FusionXN1> BRB
[11:08] <_stev_> nosklo: wow it worked! can I also check my burned cd afterwords, I've had some hangs with the live cd installer sometimes
[11:08] <Locke> mkns: i don't know how to do it... lol, i've looked through the tutorials on the Ubuntu site and they aren't as helpful as most of the other documentation from the site
[11:08] <ccooke> mar81lrt: ah, good. Okay, try 'sudo dpkg --purge hl1430lpr'
[11:08] <mar81lrt> ccooke: oh, sorry
[11:09] <mkns> Locke - you don't know how to do *what*, exactly?  Set up the user in Samba?  Or something else?
[11:09] <skwe> im running ubuntuserver, is there no config tool for apacke etc. ?
[11:09] <Locke> mkns: set up a user in Samba
[11:10] <record> if a developer is around here I'd like the issue to be known and solved in next releases of this fabulous distro, root' s power in users hands by default; ;-)
[11:10] <mkns> Locke - have you configured your smb.conf yet?  And if so, what is in it?
[11:10] <mar81lrt> ccooke: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19158
[11:10] <Locke> mkns: not yet
[11:11] <ccooke> mar81lrt: that's the previous paste...
[11:12] <mkns> Locke - have a read of this:  http://www.linux.ie/articles/tutorials/samba.php
[11:12] <mar81lrt> cooke: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19159 (i forgot to send it)
[11:12] <Locke> mkns: haven't seen this one yet, i'll check it out and get back to you in a few minutes
[11:12] <woodwizzle> Can Gparted resize a windows partition to make room for ubuntu?
[11:13] <ccooke> mar81lrt: Right. you need to remove the .postrm file, again. If there's a prerm file, remove that too.
[11:13] <ccooke> mar81lrt: then, try the --purge command.
[11:13] <mkns> Locke - np
[11:13] <ccooke> mar81lrt: Got that?
[11:13] <FusionXN1> I installedmy sound driver still no sound?!
[11:14] <JamieBE> Hey fyrstrtr: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-75710.html << Found it!
[11:14] <mar81lrt> cooke: yes
[11:14] <srikat> hey marclaporte, how are ya? I remember you from tikiwiki :)
[11:16] <FusionXN1> If i installed my sound drivers and did ctrl+alt+backspace will take cause them not to install properly?
[11:16] <frogzoo> FusionXN1: open volume control & look for mutes
[11:16] <FusionXN1> frog my sound card anit listed
[11:17] <FusionXN1> According to my driver setup now my sound card is installed
[11:17] <Knome> how would I go about using my gamepad as the primary mouse?
[11:17] <rambo3> FusionXN1, what driver
[11:17] <FusionXN1> realtek-linux-audiopack-4.04c
[11:18] <FusionXN1> i got ALC882
[11:18] <rambo3> never heard of that one. mixer settings ok ? permission . are you in audio group
[11:19] <woodwizzle> I'm looking for a way to sync my tomboy notes on multiple PCs. Anyone figure out a good way to do this?
[11:19] <Locke> mkns: i don't see anything about creating a user in Samba
[11:19] <FusionXN1> not sure what u mean
[11:19] <dhq> hi i need help how to mount a iso file i am a newbie
[11:19] <FusionXN1> !iso
[11:19] <ubotu> To mount an .iso image: sudo mount -o loop my.iso /some/mountpoint - bin/cue can be converted to iso with bchunk  .iso images of Ubuntu CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com Always verify the .iso before burning, see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[11:20] <jmspeex> can anyone just confirm that metacity behaves the same on Dapper as on my laptop?
[11:20] <jmspeex> When opening a new window, does it get focus automatically?
[11:20] <mkns> jmspeex - that is configurable
[11:20] <fDErn> Has anyone else got issues with sound on their notebooks using dapper?
[11:20] <jmspeex> mkns: where?
[11:20] <mkns> you can get it to do that if you want, or not if you don't want
[11:21] <fyrestrtr> JamieBE: cool :)
[11:21] <rambo3> FusionXN1 if you are not in audio group then , sudo xmms sound works but not without that. addusr you group . use aumixer for sound volume too
[11:21] <jmspeex> mkns: seems like by default (for me) it does and it's 1) really annoying and 2) a potential security hazard
[11:21] <fyrestrtr> woodwizzle: yes
[11:21] <FusionXN1> xmms command not found
[11:22] <Enverex> hmm, if a program doesn't have a built time option enabled that I want, is there any way of using it with the package or do I have to compile it from source?
[11:22] <woodwizzle> fyrestrtr, Really? care to enlighten me?
[11:22] <jmspeex> mkns: and I don't see how to change that from the gnome-control-center
[11:22] <Enverex> That's the only issue I have with Ubuntu compared to Gentoo =/
[11:22] <JamieBE> fyrestrtr: There are loads of cool options in here!
[11:22] <fyrestrtr> woodwizzle: I was answering your 'can gparted resize windows paritions' question.
[11:22] <Locke> mkns: i don't see anything about creating a user in Samba
[11:22] <mkns> jmspeex - i can#t remember where, tbh, i'm having a look now
[11:23] <fyrestrtr> JamieBE: yes, I didn't think to look there before, although I have messed with it to do stuff like make the trashcan appear on the desktop :)
[11:23] <woodwizzle> fyrestrtr, lol oh thanks. Thought you were awnsering another question
[11:23] <rambo3> FusionXN1, xmms is just a audio player .
[11:23] <mar81lrt> ccooke: thanks for your help. i think i understand what's wrong. i have problems with a hl1440 not 1430 now. when i installed the packages in the first place i tried this package, too, because the other didn't work.
[11:23] <mkns> hi Locke - no?  ok, hold on
[11:23] <woodwizzle> fyrestrtr, It will leave the windows one at the front of the drive I'm assuming. There is prolly no way to sneak the swap partition in front of it is there?
[11:23] <JamieBE> fyrestrtr: Not really the best place to put such a simple setting, wouldn't you agree?
[11:23] <ccooke> mar81lrt: is the package uninstalled?
[11:24] <JamieBE> fyrestrtr: 1 Check Box, that's all it is. Perhaps they could add this to future releases rather than hide it away?
[11:24] <jmspeex> mkns: can you confirm that the default is to focus on open?
[11:25] <FusionXN1> Well i got no sound @ start-up
[11:25] <dibblego> how do you clear apt caches?
[11:25] <mar81lrt> ccooke: i think i'l figure that all out later on my own, because i have to work, too.
[11:25] <mkns> Locke - have a look at the smbpasswd command ( "man smbpasswd" )
[11:25] <mkns> jmspeex - i can't confirm that, no
[11:25] <FusionXN1> !sound
[11:25] <mkns> jmspeex - but at a guess i would reckon that is the case
[11:25] <ubotu> If sound is not working, first try system -> prefrences -> multimedia system selector change it to alsa. If you still have problems then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[11:25] <jmspeex> mkns: you don't use it?
[11:25] <samuel__> #ubuntu-it
[11:25] <mkns> it?
[11:26] <jmspeex> mkns: use metacity/gnome
[11:26] <mkns> yes, but I've configured it so i can't recall what its defaults are at installation
[11:26] <jmspeex> OK
[11:26] <Nikoladze> does anyone know why the fonts in firefox (the actual application parts, not the web pages) are much bigger than in the rest of xfce?
[11:27] <Ivanowitch> Nikoladze, what skin do you use for firefox?
[11:28] <Nikoladze> argh, disconnected, how can I make the fonts in firefox the same size as the rest of xfce?
[11:28] <Nikoladze> Ivanowitch, I'm not using one, just the one that comes with ubuntu
[11:28] <Ivanowitch> ok, then i've got no idea :(
[11:29] <coffelius> hi all people
[11:30] <crayzee> Does anyone know of a decent FTP client that allows *recursive* CHMODing of files/dirs?
[11:30] <crayzee> Console/GUI, I dont mind.
[11:31] <FusionXN1> My sound card just iisnt show anymore
[11:31] <mkns> crayzee - it might be of no use, but if you can run the command from a shell, the chmod -R would be your friend
[11:31] <Locke> mkns: ok, i figured it out :-D
[11:31] <viktor> hi all
