[03:39] <root______> RetrogradCulture being able to sudo has nothing to do with the root passwd.    if you are refering to the "root jr." account that is commonly called the admin account.  then it should be able to sudo if you input the same user password when prompted
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> r00t_: is r00t your login name in linux?
[03:40] <DasEi> Mari: minimum require for your scene is 3 NIC's , one crrossover, rest patch
[03:40] <root______> RetrogradCulture test this.   sudo echo boo
[03:40] <nnull> i see that update manager wants to download kernal headers images etc why do i need a new kernal?
[03:40] <r00t_> ActionParsnip, It is the acount i user vb with
[03:40] <RetrogradCulture> yeah that's what I meant, an admin account, not "root"
[03:40] <r00t_> use^
[03:40] <Mari> DasEi: what is that?
[03:40] <root______> RetrogradCulture if it asks for your password. give it "your" password.   and if it says "boo" back at you, it's working
[03:40] <Mari> DasEi: what is NIC's?
[03:40] <ActionParsnip> r00t_: thats cool, then log off and on as that user, then you should be ok
[03:41] <DasEi> Mari: network-adapter, the pci card(or onboard) lan connector
[03:41] <After_Math> shun, what you need help with
[03:41] <Mari> ok
[03:41] <RetrogradCulture> see it didn't echo boo
[03:41] <Bugatti> Hola
[03:41] <Mari> I have a few pci connectors in both pc's
[03:41] <r00t_> ActionParsnip, logoff then back on? without doing anything inbetween?
[03:41] <regeya> afds
[03:41] <nnull> i see that update manager wants to download kernal headers images etc why do i need a new kernal?
[03:41] <root______> RetrogradCulture ok. did it give any error message ?
[03:42] <lianimator> I mounted a partition into a folder in ~/ but it still shows in My Computer as a volume.
[03:42] <mikeypizano> can someone help me get better batt life?
[03:43] <lianimator> i don't want it to show
[03:43] <RetrogradCulture> nope
[03:43] <RetrogradCulture> no msg
[03:43] <lianimator> mikeypizano: don't plug the AC in when battery is full
[03:43] <root______> RetrogradCulture ok in a terminal run "login" and see if you can login as your self
[03:43] <robbiet480> hey my eth0 has disappeared and ifconfig says no such device. the lines are in /etc/network/interfaces. i was trying to add virtual interfaces via eth0:x where x is a number but on reboot only the loopback interface comes up. i switched to eth1 and that seemed to fix it but after another reboot it did it again. its a realtek 8168 card. i tried rmmod and modprobe to no effect. restarted the network to no effect. can anyo
[03:43] <mikeypizano> i mean make ubuntus batt last longer
[03:43] <RetrogradCulture> No utmp entry.   Im not sure then
[03:46] <lianimator> use it until it's depleted
[03:46] <mikeypizano> ok
[03:46] <shawn-p> Hi
[03:46] <lianimator> then next time, it might show correctly
[03:47] <mikeypizano> ill try it
[03:47] <reya276> How can I get Hardy to recognize my Sanza Fuse player?
[03:47] <mikeypizano> bbl
[03:47] <robbiet480> hey my eth0 has disappeared and ifconfig says no such device. the lines are in /etc/network/interfaces. i was trying to add virtual interfaces via eth0:x where x is a number but on reboot only the loopback interface comes up. i switched to eth1 and that seemed to fix it but after another reboot it did it again. its a realtek 8168 card. i tried rmmod and modprobe to no effect. restarted the network to no effect. can anyo
[03:47] <dotblank> When does intrepid come out?
[03:47] <root______> RetrogradCulture so you couldn't login that way?   hmmm  looks like you will have to reboot to single user mode and fix your password.   command is 'passwd <username>'    when finished you can init 2   to continue loading.
[03:47] <dotblank>
[03:47] <Lerxst51> dotblank: at the end of the month
[03:47] <lianimator> dotblank: 30th
[03:47] <shawn-p> I just installed a new wireless card.   "iwconfig" recognizes it as "eth2".  However, "iwlist eth2 scan" results in "Interface doesn't support scanning : No such device."  Would anyone mind helping?
[03:47] <CITguy08> I think I got it working again. I think it had something to do with having multiple keyboard layouts set on my machine. I had the standard QWERTY and right-handed DVORAK both added. When I removed the DVORAK, it started working again.
[03:47] <root______> RetrogradCulture it should be a grub boot time option    recovery mode or some such...
[03:48] <lianimator> can someone tell me how to mount a partition so it wouldn't show as volume?
[03:48] <noobuntu> hello
[03:48] <r00t_> ActionParsnip, logoff then back on? without doing anything inbetween?
[03:48] <lianimator> I edited etc/fstab to a folder
[03:48] <RetrogradCulture> well all I really need to figure out a way to do is to change the user dir for the login
[03:48] <DasEi> lianimator: yup
[03:48] <lianimator> not in /media
[03:48] <RetrogradCulture> cause that's what caused the problem
[03:48] <DasEi> lianimator: pm me ?
[03:48] <lianimator> ok
[03:48] <root______> RetrogradCulture you can't without root permissions
[03:49] <root______> RetrogradCulture so it's reboot to single
[03:49] <root______> RetrogradCulture that's how to get root when you can't get it via sudo/su
[03:50] <nnull> i see that update manager wants to download kernal headers images etc why do i need a new kernal?
[03:50] <RetrogradCulture> ok
[03:50] <root______> and never irc as root...    cause the nick is owned and you'll get desynced from your server !
[03:50]  * CITguy08 thanks everyone for the help.
[03:50] <dr_willis> lianimator,  Huh? You mount a filesystem to a directory. ie  /media/whatever
[03:51] <dr_willis> lianimator,  you can mount them anywhere you want. Not just /media/Somthing
[03:51] <lianimator> dr_willis: not /media/whatever. Cuz I don't want it to show in My Computer
[03:51] <nnull> lah laaaah
[03:51] <lianimator> dr_willis: I mounted in ~/whatever
[03:51] <QuickFox_M> Hello
[03:51] <nnull> Olleh
[03:51] <QuickFox_M> can anyone help me on where would i find linux games?
[03:51] <lianimator> dr_willis: then in My Computer, it's showing as /home/myname/whatever
[03:52] <gluonman> I need help force mounting an external hard drive that my friend accidentally removed unsafely.
[03:52] <dr_willis> QuickFox_M,  theres loits of themn in the repositories.. check the package manager.
[03:52] <Circs> nnull: Security and functionality updates are sometimes included in kernel updates
[03:52] <dr_willis> !games | QuickFox_M
[03:52] <After_Math> gluonman, did you try -f
[03:52] <noobuntu> Hello, everyone.  I'd like to backup my ubuntu laptop in such a way that I could reinstall everything (software, settings, tweaks, etc) from one image.  Is partimage the way to do this?  And if so, can it be done automatically or do I have to do it manually using a recovery cd?
[03:52] <nnull> Circs¬ its not a critical just a recommended?
[03:52] <gluonman> After_Math, sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/OneTouch4 -o force
[03:52] <gluonman> After_Math, that's the code I tried to use.
[03:53] <QuickFox_M> thanks
[03:53] <gluonman> After_Math, it fails.
[03:53] <nnull> Circs¬ dont want it to break if i install it heh
[03:53] <After_Math> gluonman, I see
[03:53] <gnubuntu> QuickFox_M: try getdeb.net
[03:53] <gluonman> After_Math, what's an alternative?
[03:53] <dr_willis> lianimator,  i think thats more of a gnome filemanager/config issue, then a mounting issue.   Its just seeing all mounts and showing them.
[03:53] <After_Math> gluonman, that should work.Have you tried having the usb in while booting?
[03:53] <QuickFox_M> thanks
[03:53] <gluonman> After_Math, no. I supposed I should try that.
[03:53] <Circs> nnull: you don't have to update, but generally there is no drawback unless your system is something quite exotic
[03:54] <After_Math> gluonman, also
[03:54] <Craihhgney> whats the symbol for file system anyone?
[03:54] <After_Math> gluonman, /media/OneTouch4 is already created?
[03:54] <gluonman> After_Math, I might not have created it properly.
[03:54] <dr_willis> Craihhgney,  Symbol? Huh?
[03:54]  * nnull looks at his computer and wishes it could be mistaken for exotic heh ;)
[03:54] <Circs> nnull: If you're a standard desktop user i would advise the update
[03:54] <After_Math> gluonman, create the dir first
[03:54] <After_Math> gluonman, what error are you exactly getting?
[03:54] <Craihhgney> what represents file system
[03:55] <robbiet480> im sorry to repeat its just very urgent to get this working since it is a server install. my eth0 has disappeared and ifconfig says no such device. the lines are in /etc/network/interfaces. i was trying to add virtual interfaces via eth0:x where x is a number but on reboot only the loopback interface comes up. i switched to eth1 and that seemed to fix it but after another reboot it did it again. its a realtek 8168 card.
[03:55] <Keaton> I tried putting my fat32 partition in my fstab file so I wouldn't have to manually mount it anymore, but now only root can write anything. Is there some setting I can pass in fstab to make it writable for my normal user?
[03:55] <gluonman> After_Math, hold on. I re-created the directory using sudo, which might have been my problem. let me try it again and I'll give you the output.
[03:55] <dr_willis> Craihhgney,  what represents it where?    You mean the ICONS?
[03:55] <After_Math> gluonman, ok
[03:55] <Craihhgney> no like ./ ~
[03:55] <gluonman> After_Math, funny how these things turn out to be simple little mistakes. It worked.
[03:55] <DCPom> Craihhgney, just /
[03:56] <Craihhgney> ah ok
[03:56] <Craihhgney> ty
[03:56] <DCPom> Craihhgney, ~ is /home/you/
[03:56] <After_Math> gluonman, haha tell me about it :) glad to see it works
[03:56] <Circs> Keaton: Maybe file permissions? (Sorry if I'm no help.)
[03:56] <gluonman> After_Math, thanks for your attention. Laters.
[03:56] <Lucifer_> hey, is there any reason why a deb package won't install on Ubuntu?
[03:56] <Lucifer_> (It's g++, by the way)
[03:56] <DasEi>  Keaton: yes: user,rw,auto
[03:57] <Keaton> DasEi: I'll give it a whirl.
[03:57] <DasEi>  Keaton: pm me , if you want
[03:57] <dr_willis> Lucifer_,  mixxing in debian packages ia not a good idea from what i hear.
[03:58] <Circs> nnull: Don't worry about breaking it, you're by default only signed up for updates that have been extensively tested.
[03:58] <nnull> Circs¬ ok thanks
[03:59] <robbiet480> really noone can help me?
[03:59] <robbiet480> please
[03:59] <DasEi>  Keaton: also own the folder the parti is mounted to the user has to write to
[03:59] <Circs> robbiet480: Sorry, wish I knew enough to be useful to you.
[03:59] <robbiet480> Circs: np. its just mindboggling it does this
[04:00] <DasEi> robbiet480: does lspci find it ?
[04:00] <noobuntu> anyone have advice on best way to backup an ubuntu laptop?
[04:00] <QuickFox_M> thanks on that!!!
[04:01] <Geforce88> who would one speak to about a typo in the www.ubuntu.com/support web page?
[04:01] <Circs> noobuntu: I'd use partition image or Ghost for unix personally.
[04:01] <robbiet480> DasEi: yeah it does
[04:02] <nnull> Geforce88¬ www.internetypofixers.org -- or just email ubuntu themselfs about it
[04:02] <Circs> noobuntu: Ghost will work for any OS though.
[04:02] <DasEi> robbiet480: only nic on the machine ?
[04:02] <noobuntu> circs, if you use partimage, is it posible to set that up to do it automatically?
[04:02] <robbiet480> DasEi: yeah
[04:02] <Circs> noobuntu: What part do you want to make automagic?
[04:02] <robbiet480> DasEi: again its a realtek 8138
[04:02] <robbiet480> i just got the eth1 up but not able to ping to google
[04:03] <noobuntu> having it create the image on a regular basis and save to a drive on the network.  I like the idea of being able to reinstall exactly as I had the last stable image.
[04:03] <DasEi> robbiet480: sudo ifup eth0                 , result ?     / eeherm, 8138 or 8168 ???
[04:04] <Circs> noobuntu: I don't know of any software that creates images automatically, you could create a script if you felt ambitious.
[04:04] <robbiet480> DasEi: eth0: error getting interface flags: no such device
[04:05] <noobuntu> hmm, beyond my capability, I'm afraid.  So you use a recover cd with Partimage on it and then run it each time, right?  Is it a lengthy process?
[04:05] <noobuntu> circs, btw, thanks for the help
[04:06] <devslashnull> anyone here have an eee pc
[04:06] <noobuntu> devs, I have a 1000H
[04:06] <Circs> noobuntu: I use ghost for unix because it is filesystem independent unlike partition image. Partition image would be faster and create smaller image files though.
[04:07] <noobuntu> and part is free, right?  Ghost is not?
[04:07] <devslashnull> noobuntu, i have a 701. have any idea what the default password is
[04:07] <dimm> i want to install 96dpi font's. i think that msttcorefonts is better for me. does the 'sudo aptitude install msttcorefonts' is the right command for this?
[04:07] <noobuntu> no, but isn't that a harware independent question?
[04:08] <lepine> Hey folks, just wondering whether it's possible to have a 'Connect to server' that uses scp
[04:08] <Flannel> lepine: Should be, yes.
[04:08] <Keaton> DasEi: No dice. Tried the advice about assigning the directory rw access to anyone too, but still, I have to be root to edit anything.
[04:09] <noobuntu> circs, what about using something like sbackup?
[04:09] <alph4__> For anyone wondering. I figured out the easiest way to upgrade libc to 2.7. Just do a ubuntu upgrade.
[04:09] <lepine> Flannel: can you point me in the right direction?
[04:09] <Crayboff> If anyone can help me with my internet problem, i would be eternally greatful. Everything I know is on this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=946504  Please post your answers there if possible. Thanks!!
[04:09] <DasEi> robbiet480: can you look it up graphically in the network manager ?
[04:09] <robbiet480> DasEi: any ideas?
[04:09] <robbiet480> DasEi: nope. server install
[04:09] <Flannel> lepine: Uh, sorry.  I haven't used Connect to Server in forever, but, you should be able to do it just like a regular ftp server, etc.
[04:09] <Circs> noobuntu: That wouldn't achieve what you want I'm afraid.
[04:09] <foomanchew> 8.10 nvidia issues anyone ?
[04:10] <Flannel> foomanchew: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid questions, thanks
[04:10] <foomanchew> Flannel, thanks
[04:10] <noobuntu> circs, how often do you create an image?  And have you ever had to restore from one?
[04:10] <ST47> upstart is annoying me, and there's noone in #upstart. I have an upstart thingy in /etc/events.d, and it's set up to run the perl script, but when I call it with initctl I get main process terminated with status 2
[04:10] <DasEi> robbiet480: could you pastebin out from : sudo ifconfig
[04:10]  * lianimator has come back to say that the mount problem is solved
[04:11] <robbiet480> DasEi: ok. idk how ill get it over to this other computer but ill tryu
[04:11] <houmala> ebay has tourbolister for windows, is there a ubuntu / linux equivalent or work around ?????
[04:11] <Circs> noobuntu: Well being as re-imaging and creating new images is part of my job I'd say about 50 times a day
[04:11] <lepine> Flannel, i'm really sorry ... SSH was indeed there! i was blind, and expecting scp instead :)
[04:11]  * lianimator umounted the partition in gparted, then remounted
[04:11] <dr_willis> ST47,  just guessing at some things to check.. but be sure to give full absoute paths, and be sure the scripts are executable and start with the proper #!/bin/whatever lines
[04:11] <noobuntu> circs, lol
[04:11] <DasEi> Keaton : the full concerning line from fstab ? remounted it after alternating it ?
[04:11] <Circs> noobuntu: I handle a lot of corporate accounts.
[04:11] <ST47> AFAICT, all done. The command is         /usr/bin/perl /home/st47/Perl/IMGBot.pl
[04:12] <RetrogradCulture> i can su through terminal mode
[04:12] <pj> howdy
[04:12] <RetrogradCulture> but I don't know how I can change my user dir for that admin user
[04:12] <ST47> All dependencies are in perl's path or have symlinks from perl's path
[04:12] <RetrogradCulture> hi
[04:12] <robbiet480> DasEi: heres the short version. it says eth1 is up with IP and hardware mac address
[04:12] <houmala> ebay has tourbolister for windows, is there a ubuntu / linux equivalent or work around ?????
[04:13] <Keaton> DasEi: http://pastebin.com/d383d43cd
[04:13] <noobuntu> i see. i just have my one laptop and i'm a noob returning to linux for the second time.  the thing that turned me off last time is that i knew just enough to get myself in trouble but not enough to restore the system I had running perfectly. so I figured I'd start out right this time.
[04:13] <cs_student> Is there a nvidia configuration program I can download to configure dual-screens?
[04:13] <DasEi> robbiet480: if its the only nic, I wonder what happened to eht0, so.. its up, and has a staic ip ?
[04:13] <untermensch> Ok, I still can't get my WUSB54GV2 to work..
[04:14] <robbiet480> DasEi: yeah. it says its up. no ping
[04:14] <cs_student> untermensch, have you tried the serial monkey drivers?
[04:14] <root______> RetrogradCulture you can su ?   ok su and edit the /etc/passwd file   change only the dir entry for that user
[04:14] <cs_student> I have the wusb54G
[04:14] <untermensch> cs_student: the what?
[04:14] <untermensch> cs_student: v2?
[04:14] <robbiet480> DasEi: /etc/init.d/networking restart returns something about no such process then OK
[04:14] <root______> RetrogradCulture or use useradd
[04:14] <root______> usermod
[04:15] <cs_student> untermensch, no.  but the rt73 driver probably will work with with v2 as well.  Have you tried it?
[04:15] <root______> RetrogradCulture usermod -d
[04:15] <root______> does the same thing
[04:15] <RetrogradCulture> i'd have used useradd or mod but I couldn't figure out what the arg was to make the account admin
[04:15] <untermensch> cs_student: never even heard of it. will you tell me more? or give me a link?
[04:15] <Zambo> hey guys, whats the difference between the DVD Ubuntu ISO (almost 4 GB) and the CD Ubuntu ISO (under 700 MB)?
[04:15] <Neo1211> Hello, I am having a problem with my Compaq F700 laptop (go figure, I always have problems with it) -- that is, when ever I start the laptop, it starts gnome in low graphics mode, and the only resolutions I can choose from are 800x600 and 640xsomething, and I believe this is due to me not having the proper drivers. Could anyvody shed any light?
[04:15] <RetrogradCulture> thx
[04:15] <Neo1211> Anybody, rather.
[04:15] <Zambo> does the DVD include a lot more software?
[04:16] <root______> RetrogradCulture usermod -d <new/home> <username>     ffr
[04:16] <unitypunk> and thats the game!
[04:16] <ST47> Zambo: Probably the CD requires an internet connection to download packages from the internet, andn the DVD has more packages available
[04:16] <Flannel> Zambo: Nothing the repositories online dont offer
[04:16] <Zambo> cool
[04:16] <Zambo> thanks
[04:16] <Zambo> :)
[04:16] <ST47> The CD is perfectly fine, though'
[04:17] <cs_student> untermensch, I can tell you how to install it if you need, or you can check out http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

[04:17] <SBWTECH> hello. I have a sound question
[04:17] <Neo1211> Any ideas? It's an nVidid graphics card.
[04:17] <Neo1211> nVidia*
[04:17] <cs_student> untermensch, you will need to build it from source
[04:17] <untermensch> cs_student: i'd rather you tell me more.
[04:17] <untermensch> cs_student: eek. but i'm willing to try it
[04:18] <unitypunk> man..
[04:18] <unitypunk> thanks..
[04:18] <unitypunk> to that person that just saved me.
[04:18] <unitypunk> cant remeber your nick.. lol
[04:18] <mlins> little off topic, but has I'm running memtest against some new memory.  I get errors with both sims seated at the same time, but when I run one at a time, they're fine for hours
[04:18] <mlins> any ideas?
[04:18] <SBWTECH> does anyone know about the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS in Ubuntu?
[04:18] <Neo1211> Pretty please? :/
[04:19] <DasEi> keaton: fstab looks correct, sudo umount /dev/sda2
[04:19] <cs_student> untermensch, k you can download it with sudo wget http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/rt73-cvs-daily.tar.gz -O /usr/src/rt73-cvs-daily.tar.gz
[04:19] <cs_student> do you know how to build it from source?
[04:19] <DasEi> robbiet480: on the server : sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[04:19] <root______> mlins both parity
[04:19] <Zambo> SBWTECH: should work automatically
[04:20] <SBWTECH> it works to an extent
[04:20] <root______> mlins check bios
[04:20] <SBWTECH> it only plays in movie player
[04:20] <mlins> root______: check for what?
[04:20] <robbiet480> DasEi: cant. no internet connectivity
[04:20] <mlins> both parity?
[04:20] <SBWTECH> everywhere else is just silence
[04:20] <Zambo> go to cmd
[04:20] <mlins> I have it on optimized defaults right now
[04:20] <Zambo> and type aplay -l
[04:20] <Zambo> does it show your soundcard?
[04:20] <noobuntu> circs, do I backup all partitions?  And where do you save the image file?
[04:20] <SBWTECH> ok. hang on a sec
[04:21] <SBWTECH> ok
[04:21] <SBWTECH> and?
[04:21] <root______> mlins yes.
[04:21] <Zambo> does it show your soundcard?
[04:21] <DasEi> robbiet480: which nic so 69 ><39 ??  ifconfig, more info ?
[04:21] <DasEi> keaton:  sudo mount /dev/sda2
[04:21] <SBWTECH> it shows Audigy2 [Audigy 2 [Unknown]]
[04:21] <root______> Zambo cmd ?
[04:21] <Circs> noobuntu: Depends on what you want to save. I end up dumping mine to huge HDD arrays but I'd say just burn one off or dump it to your external
[04:21] <robbiet480> DasEi: ?
[04:21] <Zambo> root______: sorry, was talking to SBWTECH
[04:22] <cs_student> isn't there a nvidia program to configure dual-screens?
[04:22] <SBWTECH> i knew what he was talking about, lol
[04:22] <luckyone> hello, can anyone help tell me what to do... I just put the guts of my computer in a new case, now grub can't start ubuntu

[04:22] <Zambo> SBWTECH: then ubuntu sees it, which app doesnt it work with?
[04:22] <Neo1211> Please help me.. :/
[04:22] <Neo1211> Hello, I am having a problem with my Compaq F700 laptop (go figure, I always have problems with it) -- that is, when ever I start the laptop, it starts gnome in low graphics mode, and the only resolutions I can choose from are 800x600 and 640xsomething, and I believe this is due to me not having the proper drivers. Could anyvody shed any light?
[04:22] <Zambo> SBWTECH: you would be best to seek support from whoevere looks after than
[04:22] <DasEi> robbiet480: realtek 8138 or 8168 ???
[04:22] <Zambo> SBWTECH: because ubuntu is seeing your card
[04:23] <robbiet480> DasEi: oh. 8168B
[04:23] <noobuntu> circs, I have ubuntu only on my laptop.  I see sda, sda1, sda2 and sda5.  Do all those get backed up?
[04:23] <SBWTECH> the only ones it works with movie player and firefox (i think). it doesnt play the login sounds or anything.
[04:23] <Zambo> oh i see
[04:23] <SBWTECH> it has to be a software thing. My XP partition sees it fine and it works fine
[04:23] <Circs> noobuntu: You're going to have to figure out what is on each one of those, but sda1 has your ubuntu install
[04:23] <dragon> how do i execute php script using browser... i am just able to open it not run....
[04:23] <Zambo> did you check your sound settings in the audio mixer?
[04:24] <Zambo> you should really ask for help in #alsa i think, they are more into the audio stuff
[04:24] <SBWTECH> yeah. everything seems fine. I'm fairly new to linux, but its not really that much different
[04:24] <SBWTECH> ikay
[04:24] <SBWTECH> i willl try them
[04:24] <Zambo> :)
[04:24] <Zambo> good luck
[04:24] <Zambo> also
[04:24] <SBWTECH> Thanks Zambo
[04:24] <Zambo> np, also try opening the mixer (top right)
[04:24] <Zambo> and check your levels
[04:24] <Zambo> and your output choices
[04:24] <joshual> does anyone use a gnome menu alternative? just curious if there is anything thats any good?
[04:24] <Zambo> it could be set to go to a different output by default
[04:24] <Zambo> know what i mean?
[04:25] <reya276> I need some help with my Sansa Fuze MP3 player, for some reason when I unmount it Hardy does not recognize it unless I reboot the system, can anyone help?
[04:25] <SBWTECH> okay. like i said, it all seems fine to me, but its probably something small and stupid im missing considering it worked fine yesterday
[04:25] <DasEi> robbiet480: so card should be found,next:  netmask and ip in order / dhcp or statically set ?
[04:25] <root______> noobuntu and Circs only sda1 and sda5 will have file systems on them sda2 is the extended that holds sda5 the logical
[04:25] <reya276> no matter which usb port I use
[04:25] <noobuntu> circs, if I am reading the output from cat /proc/partitions correctly, I see sda1 has 156gigs, sda2 has almost nothign on it and sda5 has 3 gigs.
[04:25] <robbiet480> DasEi: its on static at the moment
[04:25] <Zambo> SBWTECH: what have you done since yesterday mate? again, it could be something tiny in your audio mixer, give it another look i think, or try alsamixer
[04:26] <DasEi> keaton:  can you write to the parti, now ?
[04:26] <Zambo> SBWTECH: you can type alsamixer in the terminal for a different mixer interface
[04:26] <Neo1211> Guys.. honestly, I don't think it's so difficult to solve my problem, and I know somebody's going to tell me to be patient.. but, jesus christ, it's like I'm being ignored.
[04:26] <DasEi> robbiet480:netmask and ip in order
[04:26] <Circs> noobuntu: Yeah just rock sda1 then :)
[04:26] <SBWTECH> i havent really done anything. it just quit working properly. i even reinstalled Ubuntu
[04:26] <robbiet480> DasEi: correct
[04:26] <dragon> how do i execute php script using browser... i am just able to open and save... i have even changed the permissions.
[04:27] <robbiet480> DasEi: <IP_ADDRESS> / <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:27] <noobuntu> root, so if I back up sda1, will partimage allow me to output to an external drive (like a thumbdrive)?
[04:27] <Zambo> dragon: is php installed?
[04:27] <noobuntu> sorry, meant circs, but you're more than welcome to answer, root!  Thanks both for your help.
[04:27] <dragon> Zambo:yes..
[04:27] <root______> noobuntu if size constraints allow   yes
[04:27] <Neo1211> You bunch are usually pretty helpful, I'm not sure what's going on right now, and I'm not at all happy :/
[04:27] <SBWTECH> im going to #alsa now. Thanks again Zambo
[04:27] <DasEi> robbiet480:and you try to ping it from the machine you sit on know ? same address range ?
[04:27] <DasEi> *now
[04:27] <Zambo> SBWTECH: np best of luck
[04:27] <robbiet480> DasEi: yup
[04:27] <Zambo> dragon: well generally you just go to the http://url/bla.php
[04:28] <Zambo> what happens when you do that?
[04:28] <smil3y> Neo1211>  reboot and select recovery kernel from grub.  fix xserver from there.
[04:28] <Neo1211> Huh?
[04:28] <DasEi> robbiet480:any firewall set on the server to permit ping ?
[04:28] <DarkMage2303> 0.0
[04:28] <Neo1211> I don't see that option, smil3y
[04:28] <noobuntu> root, can you store the resulting image on one of the partitions?  logically, I would say no, but I want to make sure I'm understandiing correctly.
[04:28] <Circs> noobuntu: Yeah it should allow you to put the image wherever there's room for it.
[04:28] <robbiet480> DasEi: no firewall
[04:28] <csshere> 大家好
[04:28] <noobuntu> thanks, circs
[04:28] <Zambo> dragon: best bet is, create a file test.php, put the following code in it <?php phpinfo(); ?> and then hit that page
[04:29] <smil3y> Neo1211>  you have to hit escape when it tells you to
[04:29] <root______> noobuntu obviously you can't possably backup a 1TB partition onto a 2GB device  ;/    but in answer to your Q yes if the size permits.
[04:29] <Zambo> dragon: if you get prompted to download the page, then php is not correctly configured in apache, if you see the info, then php is working cerroctly
[04:29] <Neo1211> escape
[04:29] <Neo1211> for me..
[04:29] <Neo1211> Takes me to my boot menu
[04:29] <DasEi> robbiet480:how do you connect to the server ? cross/switch...
[04:29] <smil3y> Neo1211> unless you physically removed it, its there
[04:29] <robbiet480> switch
[04:30] <Neo1211> physically removed what..
[04:30] <Neo1211> i see my cd drive, hdd, and net adapter
[04:30] <Neo1211> that's it.
[04:30] <DasEi> robbiet480:led's on nics/switch show connections ?
[04:30] <dragon> Zambo:yes it is prompting to download...how do i go further?
[04:30] <smil3y> Neo1211>  the recovery kernel!
[04:30] <Neo1211> where?
[04:30] <Neo1211> ESC brings up the boot menu for me..
[04:30] <noobuntu> roots, but I cannot save a partition image to that same partition, correct?
[04:30] <Neo1211> you mean at Grub?
[04:30] <Neo1211> or at POST?
[04:31] <Neo1211> got it
[04:31] <smil3y> Neo1211>  wow, scroll back up and read what i said
[04:31] <root______> noobuntu you would be a nut to try.
[04:31] <robbiet480> DasEi: yeah
[04:31] <Neo1211> Sorry..
[04:31] <noobuntu> lol
[04:31] <Zambo> dragon: ok, you need to configure http.conf to recognise that php is there
[04:31] <root______> noobuntu so i'll try it and see :)))
[04:31] <Zambo> dragon: first, go to a terminal and type   ps -ef | grep apache
[04:31] <Zambo> dragon: please give me the path it lists
[04:32] <noobuntu> can I create a backup partition and backup to that?  And then save that image to a network drive?  I'd like to be able to save the image offsite.
[04:32] <Neo1211> smil3y, this could just be me being impatient, btut it seems as if it has stalled
[04:32] <DasEi> robbiet480:ip of your current machine ? same subnet ?
[04:32] <Neo1211> but*
[04:32] <root______> noobuntu yes
[04:32] <dragon>  Zambo:http://paste.ubuntu.com/59119/
[04:32] <robbiet480> DasEi: correct
[04:33] <devslashnull> anyone here have an eee pc 701
[04:33] <Neo1211> [    0.524000] ..TIMER: vector=0x31 apic1=0 pin1=2 apic2=-1 pin2=-1
[04:33] <Neo1211> smil3y, doesn't seem to be doing anything past that
[04:33] <noobuntu> root, can I create a partition that expands dynamically based on the size of the files being stored there?
[04:33] <robbiet480> DasEi: wait wait. the box im on now is pinging and receiving replies
[04:33] <Zambo> dragon: nice, so your config is most likely in /usr/sbin/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
[04:33] <robbiet480> DasEi: so now its just outbound connections from the box
[04:33] <root______> pidof apache   ^
[04:33] <Zambo> dragon: you'll need to check through the php docs for the lines you must add to the file, and then, restart apache after you do this
[04:33] <Zambo> dragon: then, its done :)
[04:34] <DarkMage2303> hai
[04:34] <DasEi> robbiet480:ah, physics caming back
[04:34] <root______> noobuntu that i don't know.   i don't use partitions.
[04:34] <Neo1211> smil3y: you still around?
[04:34] <Zambo> dragon: its also possible that the lines are infact already in the file but apache needs a restart to reread the config, look for the word php in the conf file, grep php /usr/sbin/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
[04:35] <Sylent> I'm installing ubuntu via wubi on a computer and it only gives me a choice of up to 30GB for the installation, I would like at least 80GB
[04:35] <noobuntu> root, thanks all the same, I appreciate all the help.
[04:35] <root______> noobuntu i just make a filesystem on the disk and forget it.
[04:35] <root______> welcome
[04:35] <Sylent> How can I do this?
[04:36] <DasEi> robbiet480:have a third access point or router on that switch ?
[04:36] <robbiet480> DasEi: the box isnt able to ping the router but it is able to ping the switch
[04:36] <Zambo> dragon: i gotta go for now, hope that i have pointed you in the right direction :)
[04:36] <noobuntu> what do people recommend for creating partitions?
[04:36] <DasEi> robbiet480:the switch ?? shouldn't have a ip, that , eehrm
[04:37] <noobuntu> I'm running Ubuntu on a 1000h eee pc
[04:37] <Jangari> gparted, noobuntu
[04:37] <noobuntu> jangari, thanks. is that recommended for a noob like myself?
[04:37] <Jangari> yep, very easy
[04:38] <Jangari> graphical
[04:38] <dragon> Zambo:path specified not have configuration.its there in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf but this doesn't contain php.......
[04:38] <root______> oops.  i installed partimage, and executed it.    now that console is hung up !     how the heck do i kill it without admin perms ?
[04:38] <noobuntu> jangari, thanks, I'll takke a look at that.
[04:38] <dragon> Zambo:sorry   path specified not have configuration.its there in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf but this doesn't contain php.......
[04:38] <RetrogradCulture> bash is telling me "cannot lock /etc/passwd"
[04:39] <root______> never mind.  i found it

[04:40] <root______> RetrogradCulture and why are you still trying to break your system ?
[04:40] <robbiet480> DasEi: the workbox can ping the server
[04:40] <dragon> Zambo:hey are u there?

[04:40] <RetrogradCulture> root______:  as a superuser?
[04:40] <root______> RetrogradCulture maybe, maybe not.

[04:45] <root______> dragon if so.   w3m <url here>
[04:45] <robbiet480> DasEi: Correct
[04:45] <eross> dragon - #apache or #php5 could help you better
[04:45] <smil3y> Neo1211>  listen.. aqny linux distro you use if you press ctrl alt and f1 together it will open another tty
[04:45] <Neo1211> smil3y, I'm quite aware of that

[04:45] <insta> hey guys ... why doesn't my hardy box have /etc/inittab?
[04:46] <Neo1211> However, it wasn't working in the recovery thing
[04:46] <root______> dragon ah, did you visit what ubottu posted ?

[04:47] <Arney> would anyone like to valunteer for a little experiment?
[04:47] <root______> dragon i thought there was some common setup instructions too.   sorry.
[04:48] <root______> Arney can i do it as root ?
[04:48] <Arney> if you want
[04:48] <Arney> it only requires wine installed..
[04:48] <Neo1211> smil3y, I'm using Failsafe Terminal as root.
[04:48] <insta> nevermind, had to RTFM
[04:48] <Neo1211> smil3y, Use kernel framebuffer device interface?
[04:48] <robbiet480> DasEi: all fine. where are the DNS servers stored?
[04:48] <smil3y> open a terminal and type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:49] <Neo1211> ^^
[04:49] <root______> Arney spell it out,  someone might "bite"
[04:49] <Chris_Foster> my computer doesn't like to automount for some reason, and somebody on the forum earlier gave me a command that lets me see the names of attached devices so I can manually mount the devices, could somebody give me that command. I know there is a few different ones, but Im looking for one in specific
[04:49] <Neo1211> It presented me with a question, smil3y; Use kernel framebuffer device interface? [Yes] / [No]
[04:50] <smil3y> Neo1211>  press enter
[04:50] <RetrogradCulture> sorry what were the params with that fuser command?
[04:50] <RetrogradCulture> -fv?

[04:51] <jshriver> how do you enable DRI in Ubuntu?
[04:51] <After_Math> RetrogradCulture, what are you trying to do?
[04:51] <Arney> thats what it says?
[04:51] <RetrogradCulture> hi
[04:51] <Chris_Foster> root______:  thanks, it was the fdisk one
[04:51] <RetrogradCulture> i have to change a user home dir in /etc/passwd but it says the file is locked
[04:52] <RetrogradCulture> or couldn't be locked
[04:52] <RetrogradCulture> sory
[04:52] <After_Math> RetrogradCulture, still confused, you are trying to change user home dir?
[04:52] <root______> Chris_Foster welcome
[04:52] <After_Math> RetrogradCulture, not sure what you mean
[04:53] <Neo1211> smil3y, it would seem that after a restart.. that didn't help
[04:53] <RetrogradCulture> i'm trying to change the home directory of a user ni the /etc/passwd file
[04:53] <RetrogradCulture> in
[04:53] <Arney> would anyone like to valunteer for a little experiment?
[04:53] <LimCore> Arney: meeee
[04:53] <LimCore> Arney: but Im not gay, is that a problem
[04:53] <elknof3> hi everybody
[04:53] <Arney> ok ok
[04:53] <smil3y> Neo1211>  at any time did you try to enable restricted video drivers?
[04:53] <Arney> http://www.teamviewer.com/download/TeamViewerQS.exe try that and tell me what it says
[04:54] <Neo1211> the nvidia drivers, yes
[04:54] <thenetduck> Does anyone know how I can get Hard drive protection enabled with my excellerometor for my IBM thinkpad
[04:54] <Arney> i suppose you have wine right?
[04:54] <LimCore> thenetduck: perhaps write to the IBM / vendor / seller
[04:54] <remu> hey everyone, I have a question about HTML and CSS, I am building a site for my mosque, and I was able to get the layout and everything working like I wanted with the site running in FireFox. Now I'm testing it out on IE and am having two problems, one of them I can fix in IE, but that "fix" causes it to not function properly in FireFox, the other problem I can't figure out how to fix.
[04:54] <smil3y> Neo1211>  ok, well disable them for now, you know how to do that right, go to hardware drivers disable it and then reboot again
[04:54] <RetrogradCulture> root______:  what was that fuser -something /etc/password command you gave me before?
[04:54] <elknof3> could someone help me conecting 2 computers by using crossover ethernet?
[04:54] <Neo1211> smil3y, right.
[04:54] <elknof3> cable
[04:55] <dulak> thenetduck: on the macbooks that is handled by the bios, enabled no matter what OS is installed, not sure on the ibms
[04:55] <remu> The website is here www.icclaycounty.org the site is very bare right now, except for the "Plans" section which has content
[04:55] <Neo1211> smil3y, oh.. would you look at that.
[04:55] <Neo1211> smil3y, they aren't enabled right now
[04:55] <remu> the main body will only line up properly in one browser at a time
[04:55] <remu> I can't seem to get the navigation links aligned properly in IE though
[04:55] <remu> can someone help me out with that possibly?
[04:55] <RetrogradCulture> remu you should probably try #html
[04:56] <smil3y> Neo1211>  gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf   and look for "driver"  make sure it says nv not nvidia
[04:56] <remu> cool, thanks
[04:56] <RetrogradCulture> np
[04:56] <shaozuozhen>  Arney: what's that about
[04:56] <Neo1211> smil3y
[04:56] <DasEi> robbiet480:/etc/resolv.conf  is for dns, but pinging internal network ..should be the network settings
[04:56] <smil3y> Neo1211>  as root
[04:56] <Arney> VNC
[04:56] <Neo1211> I have a modified xorg.conf, should I revert it?
[04:56] <Arney> im checking if it works on wine
[04:56] <shaozuozhen> downloading now
[04:56] <Arney> it does work if i use it from wine... not sure if the other way around
[04:56] <smil3y> Neo1211>  no just change the driver to nv
[04:57] <DasEi> robbiet480:does your router serve dhcp ?
[04:57] <DasEi> does*
[04:57] <shaozuozhen> Under linux,wo have to use wine to run it ,right?
[04:57] <Arney> ya
[04:57] <Neo1211> smil3y, changed to nv.. now, restart?
[04:58] <shaozuozhen> so what do you mean "it does work if i use it from wine... not sure if the other way around"
[04:58] <smil3y> Neo1211>  u got it
[04:58] <mconway88> network-attached storage
[04:58] <Arney> i can connect to a remote computer from wine
[04:58] <mconway88> sorry--wrong window.
[04:58] <Arney> not sure if a remote computer can connect to wine
[04:58] <smil3y> Neo1211>  yeah if it doesnt work now someone else is going to have to chime in, that always works for me when x is broken
[04:58] <dulak> Arney: seeing as how vnc has native clients and servers for linux, why would you want to do all this under wine?
[04:59] <Arney> it works on mac and windows
[04:59] <RetrogradCulture> i think i finally got my problem fixed
[04:59] <RetrogradCulture> brb
[04:59] <dulak> Arney: vnc has native clients and servers for linux
[04:59] <Arney> itsa 1mb program and extremely easy to set up, works around firewalls and NATs...
[04:59] <Neo1211> Thanks a lot, smil3y.. worked like a charm. :)
[05:00] <dan__> can i ask if i could open docx files on open office 3?

[05:02] <DasEi> robbiet480:  does your router serve dhcp ?
[05:02] <Arney> same thing happened on another wine
[05:03] <shaozuozhen> but it shows that:the session with 12526964 is finished

[05:03] <Arney> run that on wine and connect to me
[05:03] <shaozuozhen> OK
[05:03] <shaozuozhen> I will try
[05:03] <jshriver> or how can you manually configure X to use a lower res?
[05:04] <DasEi> robbiet480:  try setting the server and workbox to dhcp-receive then, not static
[05:04] <hana> I'm trying to install some compiz plugins. I upgraded to the latest compiz version from the repository and restarted, and I used git clone to get some gits of the plugins in my ~/compiz folder. But when I use sudo make, it says "Makefile:48: *** [ERROR] Compiz not installed. Stop." What should I do?
[05:04] <dragon> root______: yes even after restarting
[05:04] <robbiet480> DasEi: ok
[05:05] <shaozuozhen> Arney:I'm sorry I have no idea what to do to conect to you

[05:07] <TimStarling> what would use dprofile on a typical server?
[05:07] <TimStarling> sorry dnotify
[05:08] <root______> dragon then i give up.   check in #apache if no one here answeres.
[05:08] <robbiet480> DasEi: its got a DHCP from the router now but cant ping out
[05:08] <robbiet480> still
[05:08] <TimStarling> dnotify has a bug in it and it's crashing my servers, so I have to work out what's using it and kill it
[05:08] <centr0> when i first installed ubuntu i had a notification of prop ati drivers on the top right.  after updating its not there anymore?  how do i get it back?
[05:10] <firead> hey guys, I'm a first-time user of ubuntu, I normally use slackware, can anyone tell me why my C compiler doesn't want to install nmap?
[05:10] <DasEi> robbiet480:  I become more clueless, hosts allowed, ifconfig on both correct (eth0<>eth1 ?!,though ok dhcp accepted), dns set by dhcp... broken nic ?
[05:10] <dr_willis> Why would the 'c compiler' want to 'install' nmap?
[05:10] <Flannel> firead: what's wrong with the nmap in the repos?
[05:11] <dr_willis> or do you meanyou cant get nmap to 'compile' ?
[05:11] <DasEi> robbiet480: tired ping as root, of course
[05:11] <DasEi> *tried
[05:12] <Flannel> centr0: You can get to the same screen by going to the "restricted drivers manager" under admin
[05:12] <dragon> can any guide me to config apache to run php script.. as browser is prompting me to download not running the test script...
[05:12] <centr0> Flannel: thanks
[05:12] <centr0> got it
[05:12] <DasEi> robbiet480: I'm beginning to gues, next I'd compare the settings on the /etc/network folder , also check ufw ,firestarter or similar
[05:13] <thenetduck> is there anyone that can help me enable Active Hard Drive Protection on my ThinkPad r61?
[05:13] <Flannel> firead: Again, what's wrong with the nmap in the repos? (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nmap)
[05:13] <firead> yeh willis I can't get it compile
[05:13] <Flannel> firead: Really, there's no reason to compile it.
[05:13] <shaozuozhen> Arney:are you still there? your ID and pass
[05:13] <Arney> 129 526 964
[05:14] <Arney> i pmed the pass
[05:14] <centr0> is there anyway to turn up the sound on my system other than alsamixer from cli?
[05:14] <shaozuozhen> sorry? your password?
[05:14] <Arney> 7803
[05:15] <shaozuozhen> success
[05:15] <DasEi> robbiet480: is there a /etc/network/interfaces on the server ?
[05:15] <shaozuozhen> I see your desktop
[05:15] <dulak> firead: sudo apt-get install nmap
[05:16] <Arney> if you had a faster connection (assuming you dont) you could set it to HQ mode and it would show my Wallpaper
[05:16] <LogicalThought> hey i messed up on my source.list but i made backup how do i restore?
[05:16] <Arney> how fast is your connection?
[05:16] <LimCore> is there a non-noob and no error-riddled twin-panel GUI file manager for ubuntu
[05:16] <LimCore> like mc
[05:16] <shaozuozhen> Arney:where it shows?
[05:16] <LimCore> like krusader
[05:16] <Arney> it dosn't
[05:17] <legend2440> centr0: right click the volume horn on top right  and choose  Volume Control
[05:17] <Flannel> LogicalThought: Just replace it.  Or open up your old one in a text editor and copy/paste the contents
[05:18] <dr_willis> LimCore,  use mc. :) or theres proberly 5+ other 2 pane file managers, gentoo, worker, filerunner, krusader, others...
[05:18] <shaozuozhen> you under windows?
[05:18] <Arney> currently
[05:18] <slamFIST> ugh anyone here good with audio cards? i have an audigy2 and can't seem to get the aux to work
[05:18] <centr0> legend2440: thanks :)
[05:18] <naknomik> what packages do I need to install to get nfs-client working?
[05:18] <LogicalThought> Flannel thanks
[05:19] <dulak> naknomik: nfs-client should be the only package you need
[05:19] <shaozuozhen> Arney: I send you message,got it?
[05:19] <dulak> naknomik: if you just want to connect to an nfs server anyways
[05:19] <dr_willis> !nfs
[05:19] <thenetduck> Does anyone have an I B M Thinkpad that has HDPS enabled? with Ubuntu? I need help gettin mine up and running
[05:20] <Arney> you saw what i saw... so no.
[05:20] <naknomik> dulak: it says there is no such thing as nfs-client. Package nfs-client is a virtual package provided by:
[05:20] <naknomik>   nfs-common 1:1.1.2-2ubuntu2.1
[05:20] <naknomik> what does this mean?
[05:22] <dulak> naknomik: yeah, I was just reading the link the bot gave
[05:22] <Flannel> thenetduck: thinkwiki has good instructions on it.  I can't remember if it was the Ubuntu instructions, or the Debian instructions though.
[05:23] <LimCore> dr_willis: mc is not gui
[05:24] <LimCore> dr_willis: krusader is best, but contains brain dead bugs
[05:24] <thenetduck> Flannel it's the debian instructions
[05:24] <DasEi> naknomik:dulak:for the server needes packs : nfs-common nfs-kernel-server portmap , client only : nfs-common portmap
[05:24] <Flannel> thenetduck: Assuming the packages they want are in Ubuntu, those instructions will work.
[05:24] <dr_willis> LimCore,  i use mc in a terminal as my main file manager under X. i consider it a gui. :) not a X gui.. but stillits a GUI
[05:24] <centr0> there any way i can search a term in apt-get?
[05:24] <Flannel> centr0: apt-cache search [foo]
[05:24] <Flannel> centr0: er, without the brackets
[05:24] <keystr0k> I have downloaded an application (tar.gz file, extracted) and would like to know the best place to put apps that I don't install via apt-get
[05:25] <Flannel> keystr0k: /usr/local/*
[05:25] <keystr0k> I was going to put it in a folder and make a launcher for it.
[05:25] <dr_willis> LimCore,  test out 'worker' and 'gentoo'   theres a few others out also. check the package manager for filemanager
[05:25] <keystr0k> so make a folder in local for the app?
[05:25] <DasEi> robbiet480: is there a /etc/network/interfaces on the server ?want to go on your own ?
[05:25] <Flannel> keystr0k: If its all contained in a single folder, that goes in /opt/
[05:25] <lastman> Why is it not possible to check if dma is enabled? hdparm -d /dev/sda prints  HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device. /dev/sda is an ide disk.
[05:25] <centr0> Flannel: ah.. '-cache'~!
[05:25] <Flannel> keystr0k: No, it'd be /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib/ etc,  etc.
[05:25] <centr0> thanks

[05:26] <keystr0k> Flannel, ahhh, Okay! Thanks :)
[05:26] <dulak> lastman: try hdparm -i /dev/sda instead
[05:26] <dr_willis> lastman,  with the changes to the ide subsystem   and everything showing up as sd** now.. hdparm dosent really work right much any more. Intheory dma should alwys be getting enabled  now a days
[05:27] <keystr0k> Flannel, is it normal that my "opt" folder has nothing in it (fresh Ubuntu install today)
[05:27] <centr0> i love this apt-get..  no more failed installs because of dependencies
[05:27] <Flannel> keystr0k: yeah.
[05:27] <keystr0k> Flannel, cool.
[05:27] <keystr0k> thanks again
[05:27] <firead> when installing Mplayer I run the configure file and it gives me this message "Error: Cannot find header either inttypes.h or bitypes.h. There is no chance for compilation to succeed.
[05:27] <firead> " why?
[05:28] <Flannel> freeman_: What's wrong with the mplayer in the repositories?
[05:28] <Flannel> firead: ^^ that was for you
[05:28] <shawn-p> Hi.  I'm trying to setup wlan0 using iwconfig and only iwconfig (i.e. without using any GUI).  The strange thing is it doesn't seem to be working properly.  iwconfig wlan0 essid, freq, channel, etc, are not working.  Whatever I set it to has no effect.  essid always stays ESSID:off/any
[05:28] <shawn-p> no error messages, nor any kind of output from the iwconfig command whatsoever
[05:28] <shawn-p> has anyone experienced this?
[05:28] <ham> wireless network problem
[05:29] <Flannel> firead: I suggest you take a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto  It'll explain how to find packages, install them, etc.  Really, there's little, if anything, you'll need to compile.
[05:29] <shawn-p> ... yes, it's a wireless network problem.
[05:29] <shawn-p> could you expand on that?
[05:29] <centr0> hmm.  i installed the flashplayer plugin!  wth!
[05:29] <shaozuozhen> Arney:you close it?
[05:29] <firead> I'll try thnx but I tried to compile it cos I could find a package
[05:29] <Arney> yeah... you were on?
[05:30] <kab3wm> shawn-p: iwconfig doesn't work with all chipsets. I know my ALFA doesn't work with iwconfig. You might look into that.
[05:30] <shaozuozhen> you quit so I quit
[05:30] <Arney> i thought it crashed and it was stalling
[05:30] <cwraig> can anyone tell me which version of swiftfox  to use with an intel atom processor?
[05:30] <dulak> firead: mplayer is in the universe repo, go to system->admin->software resources and enable universe then you will find mplayer
[05:30] <dr_willis> theres enhanced mplayer versions in the medibuntu repos also.
[05:30] <RetrogradCulture> how do I give a user admin privs from command line?
[05:30] <shaozuozhen> Arney:I see your wallpaper
[05:30] <After_Math> I am using the Beta version of Ubuntu 8.10. Once the final is releasered will I have to download it, or will the updates take care of everything?
[05:31] <shawn-p> kab3wm:  I'm using the bcm413 drivers that came with the installation CD of the hardware (via ndiswrapper)
[05:31] <Wicked> !sudo | RetrogradCulture
[05:31] <Arney> oh you configured it
[05:31] <shaozuozhen> yup
[05:31] <euzao> !bitchx
[05:31] <shaozuozhen> so it works
[05:31] <Arney> ima reinstall pidgin
[05:31] <Wicked> bitchx is dead i think
[05:31] <Wicked> dont think its in repos anymore
[05:31] <Arney> you can connect if you want..
[05:31] <Wicked> check out weechat
[05:31] <shaozuozhen> why?any problem?
[05:31] <robbiet480> DasEi: im sorry. yeah there is
[05:31] <shaozuozhen> OK
[05:31] <shawn-p> kab3wm:  If I do "iwlist wlan0 scan" then I can see my wireless access point "Mondair"
[05:31] <RetrogradCulture> i know how to use sudo
[05:31] <shawn-p> I just can't figure out how to connect to it...
[05:31] <Flannel> After_Math: It'll upgrade to final just fine
[05:31] <shawn-p> do you have any ideas?
[05:32] <OscarTGrouch> does anyone know of a good channel for asking questions about trouble shooting the line in on an audio card under ubuntu media?
[05:32] <RetrogradCulture> but how do I add admin privs to a user?
[05:32] <After_Math> Flannel, great thanks :)
[05:32] <shawn-p> Scan completed:  Cell 01 - ESSID:"Mondair" Frequency:2.462 GHz (Channel 11) Encryption key:on, etc
[05:32] <shawn-p> I'm just not sure how to instruct wlan0 to connect to that access point.
[05:32] <DasEi> robbiet480: np for time, I have to straight advice, so you could try yourself, but , in there :
[05:33] <kab3wm> shawn-p: Hrmm.. that was my only suggestion. I don't have any experience with broadcom/wifi and Linux, sorry.
[05:33] <manizzle> someone available to help with some hardware problems?
[05:33] <shawn-p> no problem, thanks.
[05:33] <FreshUbuntuNoob> shawn-p, What kind of encryption is it?
[05:33] <DasEi> robbiet48: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp
[05:33] <shawn-p> FreshUbuntuNoob:  WEP, 64-bit hex
[05:33] <shawn-p> I've specified the hex key in my /etc/networking/interfaces file
[05:33] <ham> wireless signal scan?
[05:33] <FreshUbuntuNoob> shawn-p, And it still doesn't connect?
[05:34] <RetrogradCulture> how do i add admin status to a user from the command line? with sudo
[05:34] <OscarTGrouch> Retro:  under linux it is not advised to give a user admin rights.  THis is were sudo and root come into play.  If you look at howtoforge.(something) you can find a tutorial on how to set up the root account.  I find adding that can help make some admin actions easier than typing sudo all the time.
[05:34] <kab3wm> RetrogradCulture: visudo
[05:34] <shawn-p> I'm not sure how to determine whether wlan0 is connected to the access point... however, both "ping <IP_ADDRESS>" and "ping google.com" fail
[05:34] <shawn-p> (<IP_ADDRESS> is the address of my wireless router.)
[05:34] <DasEi> robbiet48: (2lines) ^shall be there, add : dns-nameservers <ip.addresse.of_the.nameserver(router)>
[05:34] <dulak> RetrogradCulture: add the user to the admin group, that gives sudo access
[05:34] <Arney> ever since i reinstalled windows with slipstreamed AHCI drivers pidgin has been ugly
[05:35] <RetrogradCulture> that's what i'm asking heh
[05:35] <FreshUbuntuNoob> shawn-p, iwconfig will provide you what configration your card is set at
[05:35] <Arney> i cant make it pretty again
[05:35] <RetrogradCulture> how do i add it to that group?
[05:35] <thenetduck> I need help adding a module to my kernel does anyone know how to do this?
[05:35] <Arney> that reminds me
[05:35] <kab3wm> RetrogradCulture: visudo
[05:35] <dulak> RetrogradCulture: sudo adduser username admin
[05:35] <manizzle> help plz....i was trying to install windows on this slave drive i plugged in, but when i start to format the drive, it goes to 10% then stops, and a screen comes up saying, cannot format the drive, the drive may be damaged. if this is a scsi drive, please make sure all other scsi connections are terminated....wtf...ive tried different IDE cable, setting it as master drive...but nothing is working....i even did like 3 passe
[05:35] <manizzle> s on the drive, and then reformatted with fdisk...still no luck...
[05:35] <OscarTGrouch> Retro are you asking how to give a user admin rights or how to log into the admin account?
[05:35] <DoYouKnow> isn't there something called insmod?
[05:35] <OscarTGrouch> listen to  dulak  :)
[05:35] <DoYouKnow> install module?
[05:35] <Arney> slushpuppeh can you help me out here
[05:36] <Arney> you can control my comp after all...
[05:36] <thenetduck> ya  ineed to install a module
[05:36] <Flannel> DoYouKnow: that's been deprecated in favor of modprobe
[05:36] <shawn-p> FreshUbuntuNoob:  That's the strange part...   wlan0  IEEE 802.11g ESSID:off/any  Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.462 Ghz  Access Point:  Not-Associated  Bit Rate:54 MB/s   Tx-Power:32 dBm  RTS thr:2347 B   Fragment thr:2346 B  Power Management:off   Link Quality:0  Signal level:0
[05:36] <alabamahit> I can't watch my DVDs.....have 8.10 installed...Have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras...any ideas?
[05:36] <RetrogradCulture> i will, cause what kab3wm didn't make ense to me heh
[05:36] <shawn-p> and commands like "sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid Mondair" fail to change that
[05:36] <DasEi> robbiet48: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart after saving above, try again
[05:36] <alabamahit> Oh, i have even tried rebooting computer.
[05:36] <shawn-p> iwconfig wlan0 still reports an ESSID of "off/any"
[05:36] <Flannel> alabamahit: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid support, thanks.
[05:36] <dr_willis> alabamahit,  you need the dcss stuff i imagine.
[05:36] <kab3wm> RetrogradCulture: whats not to understand? From the command line, type in: visudo
[05:36] <thenetduck> I just need to install a think called ....hdaps_ec
[05:37] <ieatworld> XGL+Compiz problemo. when i get to part where i have to install the 4 packages, i get this error on the terminal "dpkg: operation requires read/write access to dpkg status area" whyyyyyy?
[05:37] <OscarTGrouch> i still suggests just adding a password to the root account.  give me a sec and i will give you the command
[05:37] <thenetduck> anyone know how I can install a module named hdaps_ec
[05:37] <alabamahit> Flannel: Ok, thanks..
[05:37] <FreshUbuntuNoob> shawn-p, Which commands are you issue to connect?
[05:37] <Flannel> OscarTGrouch: please don't recommend that here.
[05:37] <dulak> OscarTGrouch: that's a bad habit
[05:37] <OscarTGrouch> wow  sorry but i think that it is better than adding you user to the admin group
[05:38] <Flannel> OscarTGrouch: That's incorrect.
[05:38] <dulak> OscarTGrouch: the admin group is for sudo access, that is correct procedure
[05:38] <shawn-p> FreshUbuntuNoob:  My /etc/network/interfaces file reads as follows:  auto lo\n iface lo inet loopback\n iface wlan0 inet dhcp\n wireless-essid Mondair\n wireless-key XXXXXXXXXX\n auto wlan0
[05:38] <ieatworld> XGL+Compiz problemo. when i get to part where i have to install the 4 packages, i get this error on the terminal "dpkg: operation requires read/write access to dpkg status area" whyyyyyy?
[05:38] <dulak> OscarTGrouch: enabling a disabled account, or adding a user to a group designed for admin access?
[05:38] <shawn-p> I will reboot and begin issuing commands to try to connect to the wireless access point.. I'll report the commands here.
[05:38] <legend2440> manizzle: for windows support try channel   ##windows
[05:38] <OscarTGrouch> i am still new to this so pardon my question,  but wouldnt that then give the user root access?
[05:39] <dulak> OscarTGrouch: root is disabled for a reason, and should stay that way
[05:39] <Flannel> OscarTGrouch: It gives them admin rights, yes.  What's the problem?
[05:39] <dulak> OscarTGrouch: that's what he wanted to do, give admin access to a user
[05:39] <OscarTGrouch> i was allway under the impression that under basic use you shouldnt always have admin rights.  one use sudo or root when you need to.
[05:39] <DasEi> lol
[05:40] <DasEi> !sudo
[05:40] <ham> i cant see my wireless network
[05:40] <ham> plz help
[05:40] <RetrogradCulture> what command will list a user's group(s)?
[05:40] <Flannel> RetrogradCulture: groups
[05:40] <dulak> OscarTGrouch: being in the admin group doesn't give you access to root programs without using sudo
[05:40] <RetrogradCulture> hmm
[05:40] <Flannel> OscarTGrouch: with sudo, you don't always have admin access, only when you're using sudo.
[05:40] <ieatworld> XGL+Compiz problemo. when i get to part where i have to install the 4 packages, i get this error on the terminal "dpkg: operation requires read/write access to dpkg status area" whyyyyyy?
[05:40] <Flannel> OscarTGrouch: that is, only when you invoke something with sudo
[05:40] <shawn-p> ham:  I'm providing more info than that.  Gimme some credit.
[05:40] <dulak> RetrogradCulture: groups username
[05:40] <RetrogradCulture> ty
[05:40] <Trapline> I have a camera called VuPoint model dc-c310-vp that when i plug it into the usb ubuntu doesn't detect it. Any idea how to fix this problem?
[05:40] <RetrogradCulture> here we go again! brb
[05:41] <OscarTGrouch> ok this is making sense.  thanks for explaining
[05:42] <kab3wm> Trapline: Have you typed in dmesg in a terminal to see what it says when you plug it in?
[05:42] <elbermungster> help! I get this error message when installing an RPM using alien:
[05:42] <elbermungster> mkdir: cannot create directory `VMware-server-2.0.0': File exists
[05:43] <ham> shawn-p, okay
[05:44] <ham> I can't find my wireless network card
[05:44] <ham> and i wanna a tool to scan the wireless signal
[05:44] <FreshUbuntuNoob> ham, iwlist [INTERFACE_NAME] scan
[05:44] <DCPom> can anyone explain to me how fireftp works?
[05:44] <keystr0k> Flannel, as you suggested earlier, I extracted my application into its own folder in /opt. My user account doesn't have privs to modify this folder. Is it okay to chown this folder to normal user account?
[05:44] <elbermungster> help! I get this error message when installing an RPM using alien:
[05:44] <elbermungster> mkdir: cannot create directory `VMware-server-2.0.0': File exists
[05:45] <shawn-p> FreshUbuntuNoob: he's just poking fun at me.
[05:45] <BetaTest> Is the latest version of 32 bit Ubuntu stable? I recall the previous one being very buggy and not having java support among a few other things
[05:45] <Flannel> keystr0k: No, don't chown it.  Use sudo to gain access.
[05:45] <thenetduck> Does anyone know how to load a module into ubuntus kernel?
[05:45] <dulak> thenetduck: sudo modprobe modulename
[05:45] <DasEi>  thenetduck: modrobe <modulname>
[05:45] <kab3wm> elbermungster: Try it with --force
[05:45] <thenetduck> dulak, is that going work every time I load my os?
[05:45] <keystr0k> that works well except I want to launch this program from my apps menu... should I just add sudo to the beginning of the command?
[05:45] <FreshUbuntuNoob> shawn-p, Sorry I can't really jump to the solution here. I had quite a heck of a time setting up the network myself. It was a pain, until I hardcoded my network, and then later switched to wicd
[05:46] <DasEi>  thenetduck: put in /etc/modules
[05:46] <shawn-p> :(
[05:46] <dulak> thenetduck: you can add the module to /etc/modules for it to be loaded at every boot
[05:46] <shawn-p> it's okay
[05:46] <shawn-p> the strange thing is that iwconfig appears to not work at all
[05:46] <thenetduck> dulak, than kyou
[05:46] <FreshUbuntuNoob> shawn-p, You are doing a sudo right?
[05:46] <shawn-p> e.g. "iwconfig wlan0 essid Mondair" does not change the essid that "iwconfig" reports
[05:46] <shawn-p> yep
[05:46] <tj__> does anyone know of a program that can run a virtual drive for a disc image file
[05:46] <elbermungster> kab3wm : doesn't work
[05:46] <DCPom> nevermind
[05:46] <shawn-p> iwconfig wlan0 reports an essid of "off/any"
[05:46] <BetaTest> Can anyone tell me how stable the 8.04 32 bit is?
[05:46] <kab3wm> elbermungster: same error?
[05:46] <elbermungster> yes
, but i can't see the interface name now
[05:47] <thenetduck> dulak is there a way to see if ubuntu has this module all ready?
[05:47] <kab3wm> elbermungster: are you installing vmware?
[05:47] <DasEi>  tj__: see man mount, option loop
[05:47] <dulak> thenetduck: sudo lsmod
[05:47] <elbermungster> yeah
[05:47] <dulak> thenetduck: that shows currently loaded modules
[05:47] <FreshUbuntuNoob> shawn-p, which card is it?
[05:47] <ham> i use the ifconfig ,but can't see the wireless interface
[05:47] <tj__> DasEi: Thanks
[05:47] <kab3wm> elbermungster: So it sounds like its having problems because the directory already exists.. Have you tried deleting that directory and trying to install again?
[05:47] <DasEi>  tj__:np
[05:48] <keystr0k> Flannel, If I want to keep the app in my home directory, what is the best folder? I'd like to have full control over the app's folder, without needing to use sudo.
[05:48] <FreshUbuntuNoob> ham, that would mean that the driver of your card is not loaded
[05:48] <kursch>
[05:48] <kursch> how come in safe mode?
[05:48] <Flannel> keystr0k: uh, you just put it whereever you want then
[05:48] <Flannel> keystr0k: make up a convention, ~/apps/ or something

[05:50] <DasEi> kebomix: open a terminal..
[05:50] <After_Math> kebomix, one sec
[05:50] <shawn-p> FreshUbuntuNoob:  apparently I'm in the same boat as ham
[05:50] <kab3wm> elbermungster: try: find / -name '04:46 < DasEi>  thenetduck: put in /etc/modules
[05:51] <kab3wm> oops..
[05:51] <FreshUbuntuNoob> shawn-p, Are you using ndiswrapper?
[05:51] <kebomix> DasEi: then
[05:51] <After_Math> kebomix, sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/disk -o force
[05:51] <After_Math>  assuming you ahve already created the folder
[05:51] <kab3wm> elbermungster: try find / -name 'VMware-server-2.0.0'
[05:51] <DasEi> kebomix: name of the ntfs parti ?
[05:52] <ham> but my card is intel
[05:52] <After_Math> kebomix, wait, how do you make a mount point?
[05:52] <DasEi> kebomix: if unsure, use : sudo fdisk -l
[05:52] <shawn-p> FreshUbuntuNoob:  here's what happened.  I bought a new wireless card for my tower.  (The router is too far away for a physical link.)  I went to wal-mart and selected a Linksys SpeedBooster PCI adapter card.  (WMP54GS.)  That was probably a poor decision in hindsight, but meh.  So I slap it in the tower and fire up ubuntu and it appears to recognize the card as 'eth2'
[05:52] <kebomix> it worked
[05:52] <shawn-p> however, it doesn't show up in ifconfig.. so therefore the driver probably wasn't installed
[05:52] <kebomix> but every time i reboot i have to make this code ?
[05:52] <shawn-p> I could use iwconfig to change its settings however.
[05:52] <shawn-p> it just wouldn't work.
[05:52] <DasEi> ...
[05:52] <shawn-p> so I download ndiswrapper and start following this guide:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_(ndiswrapper)?highlight=(WifiDocs/Device
[05:52] <After_Math> kebomix, I am sure there is automount
[05:52] <After_Math> kebomix, you have to enable it, Im not sure how to do that
[05:53] <ham> i wanna a tool can scan wireless signal and choose the network,
[05:53] <shawn-p> notice that the guide tells me to blacklist the default broadcom driver
[05:53] <shawn-p> which I did
[05:53] <BetaTest> Can anyone tell me the advantage of using Ubuntu over Debian please?
[05:53] <ham> my computer always connect to others network
[05:53] <shawn-p> so I blacklisted "bcm43xx" (by adding "blacklist bcm43xx" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist)
[05:53] <Tonno> Is someone is right know online in the amsn? because my amsn do want me to log in, it say server unavailable, can I do something?
[05:53] <DasEi> !best|BetaTest
[05:53] <kab3wm> BetaTest: Bleeding edge repository. Debian is stale.
[05:53] <madrazr> I have jnlp (Java Applet) downloaded from topcoder.com, which I am not able to run, can anyone help me please?
[05:53] <dulak> BetaTest: faster release cycle, more up to date packages
[05:53] <shawn-p> then I copied the driver from the CD that came with the linksys hardware
[05:53] <shawn-p> and used ndiswrapper to install it.
[05:54] <shawn-p> (sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmw15.inf)
[05:54] <dulak> BetaTest: I still run debian on some servers that don't need to be bleeding-edge
[05:54] <shawn-p> then I run the next two commands it tells me to:
[05:54] <shawn-p> sudo depmod -a
[05:54] <shawn-p> sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[05:54] <DasEi> kebomix: wanna go on ?
[05:54] <FreshUbuntuNoob> shawn-p, But isn't your a Linksys? bcmw15.inf would change
[05:55] <kebomix> DasEi: i have another 4 gb empty partition ntfs , when i open it , the partition that i mounted files appear on it !
[05:55] <DasEi> kebomix: one after the other...
[05:55] <kebomix> yeah
[05:55] <kebomix> another partition
[05:55] <shawn-p> well, in the CD that came with the hardware, under the 'drivers' folder, there are two folders:  Vista and XP_2K.  Under XP_2K, there are a few files:  bcm43xx.cat, bcmwl5.inf, bcmwl5.sys, bcmwl564.sys
[05:55] <DasEi> kebomix: terminal open..., sudo mkdir /dev/sda1
[05:56] <shawn-p> I copied those 4 files off the cd, then used ndiswrapper to install it like so:
[05:56] <shawn-p> sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmw15.inf
[05:56] <kebomix> cant create
[05:56] <DasEi> kebomix: do a : fdisk -l                 to determine the other device name
[05:56] <shawn-p> so... yes, it's a linksys.  However, I'm using the drivers from the cd that came with it. :)
[05:56] <DasEi> kebomix: can't ?
[05:56] <After_Math> kebomix, what exactly are you tring to do?
[05:56] <zero__> anyone know of a way to upgrade from hardy to ubuntu ultimate 1.8?
[05:56] <DasEi> !who|kebomix
[05:57] <Flannel> zero__: Ubuntu ultimate is a horribly broken knock off, you don't want it.
[05:57] <shawn-p> another thing... "sudo ifup wlan0" doesn't appear to function correctly
[05:57] <kebomix> DasEi: no thing
[05:57] <shawn-p> there's some output, followed by:
[05:57] <FreshUbuntuNoob> shawn-p, I personally prefer sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[05:57] <kebomix> DasEi: but i have gparted
[05:58] <After_Math> kebomix, do this " sudo mkdir /home/mount" then "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/"partition wanting to mount" /home/mount -o force
[05:58] <OscarTGrouch> how can i look up if my sound card is installed correctly? and test to see if my line in is working?
[05:58] <Ttech> How do I add hardy backports to my Ubuntu Sources list?
[05:58] <shawn-p> DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to <IP_ADDRESS> port 67 interval 7
[05:58] <shawn-p> DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to <IP_ADDRESS> port 67 interval 18
[05:58] <shawn-p> DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to <IP_ADDRESS> port 67 interval 6
[05:58] <shawn-p> No DHCPOFFERS received.
[05:58] <DasEi> kebomix: sudo mkdir /media/sda1
[05:58]  * Chookah will be back soon, craving some cheese
[05:58] <shawn-p> No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
[05:58] <DCPom> !paste | shawn-p
[05:58] <zero__> Flannel, i had it before, it wasnt too bad, what makes it broken?
[05:58] <shawn-p> so... I'm not sure what that's about
[05:58] <shawn-p> sorry.
[05:58] <FloodBot2> shawn-p: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:58] <FreshUbuntuNoob> shawn-p, That is dhclient kicking in, the dhcp client
[05:58] <DCPom> is there a way to force the locate command to update?
[05:58] <DasEi> kebomix: do a : fdisk -l                 to determine the other device name(the 4gb one)
[05:58] <shawn-p> yeah.. but it's failing, right?
[05:58] <bruenig> DCPom: updatedb
[05:58] <kebomix> DasEi: the first partition is sda5 . and the second is sda7
[05:59] <shawn-p> "No DHCPOFFERS received"
[05:59] <FreshUbuntuNoob> shawn-p, You have DHCP enabled on your router?
[05:59] <shawn-p> yeah
[05:59] <Flannel> zero__: There are a number of unsafe things done by default; some of these things cause you to never be able to successfully upgrade to later releases, etc.
[05:59] <shawn-p> I'm using it via this computer
[05:59] <zero__> Flannel, ah i see
[05:59] <Flannel> zero__: other things break the package manager, etc.  Lots of stuff healthy systems don't want.
[05:59] <DasEi> kebomix: the first upon was sda1 :  sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/disk -o force
[05:59] <FreshUbuntuNoob> shawn-p, Hold on, let me look at the driver
[06:00] <Ttech> Where is hardy-backports located?
[06:00] <vikku> Hi all...........i have a spiderman cd how can i install it
[06:00] <zero__> i see, and is there a way to backup my system? i tried some stuff from minipe (ghost etc) and i can never get the images to restore
[06:00] <DasEi> kebomix: so the second, the 4gb ntfs is ?
[06:00] <kebomix> DasEi: yeah
[06:01] <bruenig> zero__: you can use tar
[06:01] <bruenig> that's a funny way to back everything up
[06:01] <zero__> bruenig, what is tar?
[06:01] <kebomix> DasEi: i feel that they became connected on mounting when i made force mounting
[06:01] <barney_> how do you edit the menu.lst file in the term.?
[06:01] <After_Math> zero__, archive
[06:01] <After_Math> zero__, like zip
[06:01] <bruenig> well
[06:02] <kebomix> DasEi: how to unmount them ?
[06:02] <zero__> i know about .tar, but what do you mean about tar and my system restore?
[06:02] <vikku> Hi all...........pls help me install a game of spiderman cd !!
[06:02] <DasEi> kebomix: figure out the right device names, sudo fdisk -l or gparted....
[06:02] <kab3wm> vikku: Does the box say it will install in Linux?
[06:02] <Flannel> !backup | zero__
[06:02] <After_Math> vikku, you have to use wine
[06:03] <legend2440> Ttech: open system>admin>software sources>updates tab>unsupported updates(hardy-backports)
[06:03] <After_Math> vikku, even then it might not work
[06:03] <vikku> kab3wm: naaaaaaaaaaaaa :)
[06:03] <DasEi> kebomix: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[06:03] <kebomix> when i try to unmount the 4gb partition manually it show me this Most likely other partitions are also mounted on these mountpoints. You are advised to unmount them manually
[06:03] <vikku> After_Math: what is wine ?
[06:03] <vikku> does hitman play on wine ?
[06:03] <DasEi> kebomix: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[06:03] <kab3wm> vikku: Then like After_Math said, you will probably need to learn how to use Wine.. and that probably won't work, but it's your best shot.
[06:03] <BetaTest> vikku it's a Windows emulator
[06:03] <dr_willis> !appdb | vikku
[06:04] <kebomix> DasEi: i have it already installed
[06:04] <elbermungster> kab3wm : it said the problem was at line 257 of Package.pm, so I deleted it.
[06:04] <DasEi> kebomix: mount | pastebinit
[06:04] <bhargavprasanna> yea.. and it cannot support DLLs
[06:04] <DasEi> kebomix: url ?
[06:04] <Flannel> !wine | vikku
[06:04] <kebomix> DasEi: http://pastebin.com/f6eda409b
[06:05] <vikku> OK ...has anybody tries Hitman on Wine ?
[06:05] <DCPom> is there a command to delete a directory and dump its contents in the current directory?
[06:05] <vikku> OK ...has anybody tried Hitman on Wine ?
[06:05] <Flannel> vikku: You'd want to ask that in #winehq, and also you don't need to repeat your question.
[06:05] <dr_willis> DCPom,  you mean move all the stuff in the directory somewhere.. then delete the directory.. No command that i know of.. it wouldbe a fairly simple script.
[06:05] <kebomix> DasEi: i want to unmount both of then then i will format 4 gb partition to Fat 32 then i will mount force again the first one
[06:05] <DasEi> kebomix: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[06:05] <vikku> Flannel: :( ok
[06:06] <DCPom> dr_willis, well, i suppose i know the commands to do that, i wasn't sure if there was an easier one
[06:06] <shawn-p> FreshUbuntuNoob: Any luck? :)
[06:06] <Tonno> Is someone is right know online in the amsn? because my amsn do want me to log in, it say server unavailable, can I do something?
[06:06] <Flannel> vikku: #winehq is full of people who are much more familiar with wine than the people here.  They'll be able to help you more.
[06:06] <kebomix> http://pastebin.com/f1e2adebe
[06:07] <dr_willis> Of course they will most likely also tell you to check the wine app-database
[06:07] <DCPom> is "." current directory or top directory?
[06:07] <FreshUbuntuNoob> shawn-p, Apparently, the WMP54GS uses the broadcom chipset. I am not sure, are you aware of this?
[06:07] <vikku> Flannel: : thnks, thnks all the tribe
[06:07] <Flannel> DCPom: current.  / is top
[06:07] <dr_willis> DCPom,  current direcory
[06:07] <DCPom> thank you both
[06:07] <shawn-p> FreshUbuntuNoob: since it came with broadcom drivers, I assumed it uses the broadcom chipset, yes.
[06:08] <FreshUbuntuNoob> shawn-p, Broadcom native support under Linux is quite nice. I have been running it for quite some time now
[06:08] <geeky_goowy> Guys, is there any way to change from gnome to KDE without losing all the installed packages?
[06:08] <Flannel> geeky_goowy: install kubuntu-desktop
[06:08] <FreshUbuntuNoob> shawn-p, My first attempt was via ndiswrapper as well. But just like any other wrapper, I didn't like the flakyness. I installed it natively, and it just works
[06:08] <DasEi> kebomix: so with the force-cmd aboce you tried to remount root, lol,
[06:08] <R0b0t1> Someone linked me to the commands to change the default Java before, could someone do that again?
[06:08] <shawn-p> I'm running ubuntu 7.10... I'm not sure if the broadcom support was as nice as it is in the latest rev.  But the native support didn't appear to work
[06:09] <DCPom> rmdir -f . will remove the current directory, right? (sorry for so many questions)
[06:09] <kebomix> DasEi : no  i changed it to sda5 :D
[06:09] <shawn-p> (ifconfig could not see the device)
[06:09] <FreshUbuntuNoob> shawn-p, Credit given. I have only worked with Hardy
[06:09] <BundyK> geeky_goowy, just install kubuntu on top of ubuntu sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[06:09] <DasEi> kebomix: sda5 is your fat32 one, sda7 is ntfs, you wanto to fat 32, right ?
[06:09] <geeky_goowy> Flannel: probably sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop??
[06:09] <Flannel> geeky_goowy: That would be the command, yes.
[06:09] <kebomix> DasEiL i want to unmount ntfs partitions
[06:10] <DasEi> kebomix: sudo umount /dev/sda7
[06:10] <FreshUbuntuNoob> shawn-p, Make sure that you installed the right version for your driver. Like you said there were many
[06:10] <mars> ???
[06:10] <shawn-p> hmm.. make sure I installed the right version of which?
[06:10] <geeky_goowy> Flannel: i got a kubuntu 8.04 cd.. i don't want to download the DKE package as 'm almost out of free bandwidth.. is there any way to use 'CD as a repository' like on debian?
[06:10] <Flannel> geeky_goowy: Is it a Kubuntu desktop CD or a Kubuntu alternate CD?
[06:11] <geeky_goowy> flannel:desktop cd
[06:11] <FreshUbuntuNoob> shawn-p, You said there were many bcmxxx.ini files. Make sure you insatlled the one for your card
[06:11] <Flannel> geeky_goowy: then no.  You'd need the alternate CD to have it act as the repository.
[06:11] <geeky_goowy> oh ok..
[06:11] <geeky_goowy> flannel- thanks.. :)
[06:11] <R0b0t1> Someone linked me to the commands to change the default Java before, could someone do that again?
[06:12] <DasEi> http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/          , geeky_goowy:
[06:12] <R0b0t1> IE, I want to use SUN's Java, not the openJdk.
[06:12] <R0b0t1> (I've nothing against it, but it doesn't work right)
[06:12] <Flannel> R0b0t1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java#Choosing%20the%20default%20Java%20to%20use
[06:12] <shawn-p> FreshUbuntuNoob:  sorry, I miscommunicated.  There was only one .inf file in drivers/winxp_2k/
[06:12] <shawn-p> so that's the one I installed
[06:12] <legend2440> R0b0t1: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[06:12] <R0b0t1> Flannel: Thanks!
[06:12] <shawn-p> the other files were .sys or .cab
[06:13] <R0b0t1> legend2440: Thanks!
[06:13] <DasEi> kebomix: now you can use gparted to put it to another fs, all data on sda7 will be lost
[06:13] <geeky_goowy> DasEi: but i have installed most of the packages using synaptic!
[06:13] <benthebug> Hello!!
[06:13] <nayanajith> hello
[06:13] <geeky_goowy> DasEi: the link u gave me sez i can copy packages installed with apt only..
[06:13] <R0b0t1> Waka waka waka.
[06:14] <shawn-p> THERE.  Success.
[06:14] <kebomix> DasEi : there is no data , it is empty :D , i just have aproblem when i try to install windows on another partition it tell methat Windows is Not Compatible with this partition
[06:14] <FreshUbuntuNoob> shawn-p, It worked?
[06:14] <shawn-p> I had to configure it with a static IP address... for some reason DHCP wasn't working
[06:14] <DasEi> geeky_goowy:could be a problem, then,  hmm no flatrate available ?
[06:15] <DasEi> kebomix: the way round fat32 might work
[06:15] <geeky_goowy> DasEi, no flatrate.. :(
[06:15] <shawn-p> after that, I went to the network manager (the icon in the upper right)... went to my device... properties.... "enable roaming mode"
[06:15] <enemabandit> anyone have any idea why there might be a delay in certain (but not all) mouse events in x server?  I'm running two displays, my secondary display has no delay at all but my primary has about a one second delay for certain things like right clicks and window maximizing.
[06:15] <shawn-p> at that point, it found the Mondair access point
[06:15] <kebomix> DasEi : i tried ntfs and fat 32 all failed give me same message
[06:15] <FreshUbuntuNoob> shawn-p, take a look at man dhclient, for more information on DHCP client.   I have an Asus Eee with Ubuntu on it. I want to make my webcam work with Mercury, and I can get it. Any idea?
[06:16] <DasEi> kebomix: doesn't the win-installer find the partitons ? xp ?
[06:16] <keewee> It works with other programs (i.e. skype)
[06:16] <FreshUbuntuNoob> shawn-p, If you are connecting to anything other than WEP, you would either need the new version of Network Manager (compile yourself), or get yourself Wicd, or be an extremely expert with console
[06:16] <FreshUbuntuNoob> shawn-p, No problem, I did nothing :)
[06:16] <FreshUbuntuNoob> !webcam | keewee
[06:16] <kebomix> find then but give me that windows is not compatible with all partitions
[06:17] <jclbrt> hey I am trying to install aura GTK engine and I followed the directions on http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-778611.html
[06:17] <keewee> My webcam is supported by Ubuntu, works on aMSN, Skype and Cheese.
[06:18] <DasEi> kebomix: (!who) sure, but you can use ONE (like a 10 gig) to install win, add a module for ext3 later to win
[06:19] <jclbrt> however when I get to the part where it says i need to type in "make". I get the following: " make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop."
[06:19] <jclbrt> why doesn't it work as the directions imply it should
[06:20] <FAJ> jclbrt: have you read the INSTALL in the dir?
[06:20] <jclbrt> FAJ I did...
[06:20] <FAJ> ok.... what is it you are trying to compile?
[06:20] <jclbrt> Aura GTK Engine
[06:20] <kebomix> DasEi : i fixed to partitions , thanks very much :D , can u show me topic in any forum about hacking wireless networks , i read that linux is strong on that
[06:21] <FAJ> jclbrt: tried sudoing it?
[06:21] <DasEi> !google|kebomix:
[06:21] <jclbrt> FAJ: I tried to use the directions found here http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-778611.html

[06:26] <madrazr> I have jnlp (Java Applet) downloaded from topcoder.com, which I am not able to run, can anyone help me please?
[06:27] <dr_willis> kebomix,  in the past i just do 'unrar e whateverfirstrarfileis.r01 '
[06:27] <dr_willis> kebomix,  rar should see the other files and access them as needed
[06:27] <Robb_M> madrazr: more information is needed, "it doesnt work" is vague...what about it doesnt work? does it throw out errors?
[06:28] <madrazr> Robb_M: some pointers I got while I googled said to open it in FireFox, but when I do that, it asks me to save that file
[06:28] <FAJ> ham:  ok...
[06:29] <madrazr> Robb_M: if I run javaws, I get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/59156/
[06:29] <ham> thank you, I fix the problem

[06:30] <FAJ> centr0:  normally better to ask compiz questions on #compiz-fusion
[06:30] <dr_willis> kebomix,  as i said.. i JUST unrar the first file. and rar will see the other ones and acc4ess them as needed..   i do NOT unrar each file.
[06:30] <dr_willis> kebomix,  unrar x  whatever.r01

[06:34] <eross> themime - you are doing /etc/init.d/mysql start ?
[06:34] <themime> eross yes, and as root (or sudo equivalent)
[06:34] <eross> something might be tied to the database, not allowing it to start

[06:36] <After_Math> whats the difference between 32bit and 64bit?
[06:36] <dr_willis> 32bits :)
[06:36] <After_Math> lol
[06:36] <eross> lol
[06:36] <dr_willis> After_Math,  when in doubt use 32bit.
[06:36] <After_Math> dr_willis, ok
[06:37] <Lion-O> I'll soon find out
[06:37] <geeky_goowy> after_math: generally, 64 bit is better..
[06:37] <alabamahit> its faster no doubt
[06:37] <geeky_goowy> after_math: but 32 bit is the most common..
[06:37] <jamesish> themime: what mysql package did you install?
[06:37] <kebomix> i love this channel ,  always find help on it : thx to all
[06:37] <eross> i can say something about 64bit, it's nice and the incompatibilities are shrinking, i'm using it now, burning a minidv movie, chatting, surfing
[06:37] <After_Math> geeky_goowy, but how would I know what to use?
[06:38] <hechu> 8.10 has work on my ATI graphic card with fglrx driver: http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/download/file.php?id=46213&mode=view/1.jpg
[06:38] <geeky_goowy> after_math: 64 bit is best suited for graphics designing..
[06:38] <After_Math> geeky_goowy, ah ok
[06:38] <geeky_goowy> after_math: 32 bit will more than suffice for home PCs.
[06:38] <eross> After_Math - it's good to have 4Gb if you go 64bit
[06:38] <FreshUbuntuNoob> After_Math, Depends on your hardware
[06:38] <After_Math> geeky_goowy, ok thanks
[06:38] <themime> jamesish: not sure, it worked before, i haven't played with my server in a month.  heres version line -> mysql  Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.45, for pc-linux-gnu (i486) using readline 5.2
[06:38] <After_Math> eross, ya i got 2g
[06:38] <jamesish> sudo apt-get install mysql-server
[06:38] <geeky_goowy> after_math: sure..
[06:39] <kebomix> can i run microsoft access on linux ?
[06:39] <ZehRique> Hello there, does anyone here tried to work with dual monitors on Ubuntu, but with different video cards?
[06:39] <themime> jamesish: already newest version
[06:39] <geeky_goowy> kebomix: try it on wine.. but it might not work..
[06:39] <jamesish> ps auxw | grep mysql
[06:39] <eross> there's crossover office, think you have to pay for it
[06:39] <themime> jamesish: already tried, not running =/
[06:39] <dr_willis> ZehRique,  In the past that was doable.. but a lot depends ont he cards.. and it can take some effort.
[06:40] <alabamahit> themime: did you install php? or are you even trying to run php?
[06:40] <kebomix> geeky_goowy: yeah , i think so , i dont want to get back to windows , i need it in my study :(
[06:41] <FreshUbuntuNoob> kebomix, Did you take a look at OpenOffice Database?
[06:41] <jamesish> themime: I understand you've tried it, but humour me. sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
[06:41] <ZehRique> dr_willis, do you know some good tutorial?
[06:41] <eross> how about running a vmware or other vm install of windows to run it?
[06:41] <dr_willis> ZehRique,  not tried that in proberly 3 years.. so no.
[06:41] <geeky_goowy> hey, has anybody tried epiphany web browser? firefox 3 Beta 5 is so bad on 8.04..
[06:41] <jamesish> themime: what's odd is that upstart should have automatically detected mysql and started it fine.
[06:41] <dr_willis> ZehRique,  check the gentoo wikis :) they often have weird things like that.
[06:42] <ZehRique> hmmm.. ok dr_willis. Thanks!
[06:42] <ZehRique> :)
[06:42] <dubby> help ! im getting kern.log files as large as they can possibly be
[06:42] <jamesish> themime: you might actually want to try something like mysql -u root, just to check in with that.
[06:42] <kebomix> FreshUbuntuNoob: there is only 4 programs on open office , word, excel , powerpoint , picture
[06:42] <dethdol> ne 1 know the best book for begining ubuntu
[06:42] <vingian> anyone know where xfce gets the fonts settings from?
[06:42] <dubby> each of them being atkbd.c : use 'setkeycodes e059' to make it known
[06:42] <dubby> like unknown key pressed every like half a second
[06:42] <Kr0ntab> dethdol: there's quite a few out there... the Ubuntu for non-geeks is a pretty decent book for beginnersa
[06:43] <dubby> yet im able to type here just fine...
[06:43] <jamesish> I'm having issues getting an iPod shuffle working. It won't auto-mount; the warning being logged is that hal is trying to mount /dev/sdb -- if I explicitly tell it to mount -t msdos /dev/sdb /mountpoint, then rhythmbox can see the uPod fine but can't write to it.
[06:43] <DigitalFiz> ok so i have an issue, i have a laptop that the cdrom is broke in but i have a usb thumb drive how can i format the laptop and install ubuntu on via the thumb drive?
[06:43] <FreshUbuntuNoob> kebomix, http://www.openoffice.org/product/base.html
[06:43] <dethdol> can it boot from usb?\
[06:43] <DigitalFiz> i think so
[06:43] <themime> jamesish, alabamahit: it is installed, and was working, i had a working phpbb3 forum but obviously it is saying mysql is down now.  /etc/init.d/mysql restart failed as before
[06:44] <Reaverbot> Anyone knows if .net messenger is off-line?
[06:44] <acee12345> i just finished reformatting my ubuntu because i tried to install ati drivers then update my kernel. can someone wallk me through the proper way to install these drivers without hosing my system?
[06:44] <DigitalFiz> how would i make a live cd type deal with the usb drive
[06:44] <jamesish> themime: if it was working, what changed? This is our interest.
[06:44] <FreshUbuntuNoob> Reaverbot, I am on it right now using Pidgin. Also this is not the right channel to discuss it
[06:44] <dethdol> then make a bootable iso into your usb key and then restart your computer with the usb as frist boot device
[06:44] <kebomix> FreshUbuntuNoob: wow , how to get it ?
[06:44] <dethdol> or find what key will open the boot menu and if you installed ubuntu right then it should go through
[06:44] <themime> jamesish, the problem is, i can't remember, i remember playing with something, not touching it for a month, and i just not plugged it back in.
[06:44] <themime> root@mimeserver:/home/themime# mysql -u root
[06:44] <themime> ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
[06:45] <ubuntuyo> ggg
[06:45] <DigitalFiz> dethdol, how would i do that im in ubuntu now do you know a tool to do this?
[06:45] <FreshUbuntuNoob> kebomix, It is available to install under Add/Remove menu, or some packages via Synaptic. I do believe that for full implementation it requires the Java installation (JRE is preferred). And if I remember correctly, I think it is actually hidden from the menus as well
[06:45] <ubuntuyo> hi
[06:45] <dethdol> sorry no im green at ubuntu youcan always google
[06:46] <jamesish> is there nothing in /var/log/mysql?
[06:46] <jamesish> um
[06:46] <geeky_goowy> is it possible to upgrade from Firefox 3 Beta 5??
[06:46] <jamesish> /var/log/mysql.err
[06:46] <Reaverbot> freshubuntunoob: yes, but I ask, because maybe is a problem in my computer. It says "server is unavailable"
[06:46] <themime> jamesish: no, nore mysql.log, but, just found this in syslog, i think its having trouble binding with the ip --> Oct 18 01:42:24 mimeserver mysqld[7032]: 081018  1:42:24 [ERROR] Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Cannot assign requested address
[06:47] <themime> jamesish: i remember thinking about messing with IP stuff but didn't think i actually went through with any of it.  also, im shelled in now (its a box sitting in the corner) and i can view my site via the IP in firefox
[06:47] <FreshUbuntuNoob> Reaverbot, Working normally. Must be some sort of problem with the server responsible for that domain
[06:48] <jamesish> themime: that's the most likely cause of the issue; mysql binds on a port through localhost. So, resolve your networking issues and all will be well. What's in /etc/hosts?
[06:48] <themime> ah, one of the warnings was to check for /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' existing, which it doesn't.  not sure why it doesn't.
[06:48] <jamesish> because mysql isn't running.
[06:48] <jamesish> mysql creates that socket.
[06:48] <acee12345> if this is the wrong channel to ask about by driver question please direct me to the correct one
[06:49] <themime> jamesish: ah ok, checking on /etc/hosts, one moment
[06:49] <themime> my job is working on web servers, this is so embarrasing >=|
[06:50] <Reaverbot> FreshUbuntuNoob: Yeah, I use .net passport, maybe is that... or maybe is my e-mail direction.
[06:50] <eross> it's ok themime, they think i'm a systems administrator
[06:50] <jamesish> it happens to us all, don't worry.
[06:50] <eross> :P
[06:50] <themime> im my defense, im only a level 2 tech, not an admin =P
[06:50] <jamesish> I had an interview today for a Ruby on Rails job; code interview. I sat there for ten minutes unable to remember how to generate a scaffold, one of the most basic things you can do.

[06:51] <jamesish> You need a rails guy?
[06:51] <enemabandit> anyone have any idea why there might be a delay in certain (but not all) mouse events in x server?  I'm running two displays, my secondary display has no delay at all but my primary has about a one second delay for certain things like right clicks and window maximizing.\
[06:51] <jamesish> First, you don't have an entry in /etc/hosts for resolving your own domain name.
[06:51] <jamesish> Second, what's the output of ifconfig?
[06:52] <Enselic> !who jamesish
[06:52] <themime> jamesish: haha, i know, because i don't have one, its a local server i connect to either via the IP or through dyndns
[06:52] <Enselic> !who > jamesish

[06:53] <ezzieyguywuf> is there an easy way to make a copy for a directory structure, but not its contents? i have an external hard drive whose directories i'm comparing to some local directories in a program i'm writing, but i don't want to have to keep booting up the ext hd. i'd rather have a copy of all the direcories WITHOUT their contents, locally. any ideas?
[06:53] <aRk4> anyone can help me to create a web?
[06:53] <ezzieyguywuf> i can provide an example if that is too confusing
[06:54] <centr0> why do my vids look pixelated using the codecs ubuntu suggested to install upon opening a vid?
[06:54] <jamesish> ark4: I'll bite, what do you mean? Can you expand a little further, because your question as it stands is cofusing.
[06:54] <CaptainMorgan> is there a way to shut of a cpu without having to edit the menu.lst file and rebooting... ? would be nice if the rebooting could be avoided altogether... any thoughts ?
[06:54] <Enselic> ezzieyguywuf: an ugly approach would be to copy the whole directory, then remove all the files
[06:54] <CaptainMorgan> s/of/off/
[06:54] <jemyzhang_> anybody here uses the sound card alc260?
[06:54] <Enselic> ezzieyguywuf: for f in `find -type f`; do rm $f; done   or something similar
[06:54] <ezzieyguywuf> enselic: not possible since i don't have enough space locally for that
[06:54] <sdf><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[06:54] <jamesish> CaptainMorgan: what do you mean? To shut down, you have to shut down; you shouldn't need to shut down to edit menu.lst, though.
[06:54] <ezzieyguywuf> enselic: i dunno if that would work....
[06:55] <themime> ezzieyguywuf, Enselic: haha, i have a more ugly approach, "find /the/dir -type d cp {} other/dir/ \;"  <--- don't try that, its not tested and im sure im missing something
[06:55] <CaptainMorgan> jamesish, I think you might've misunderstood me? or maybe I you - where did I mention shutting down?
[06:55] <devslashnull> can anyone recommend what i can delete to free up space in ubuntu. im at 14% free disk space
[06:55] <themime> er, nevermind, Enselic already had a similar approach
[06:55] <ezzieyguywuf> any more suggestions?
[06:55] <jamesish> captainMorgan: "is there a way to shut off a cpu "
[06:56] <CaptainMorgan> yes.
[06:56] <FAJ> jamesish:    sudo shutdown now
[06:56] <jamesish> captainMorgan: I'm quite willing to take the blame ;)
[06:56] <FAJ> restart:       sudo shutdown -r now
[06:56] <jamesish> FAJ: CaptainMorgan's asking the question; he doesn't seem to want to shut down, but that made me think he does.
[06:56] <joshual> is there a gui to change default applications in ubuntu? i know kde (kubuntu) has one...
[06:56] <Enselic> ezzieyguywuf: try something like   cd $TARGET_PATH; for d in `find $SOURCE_PATH -type d`; do mkdir -p $d; done
[06:57] <indian_munnda> devslashnull: u can delete ur mp3's and videos. :)
[06:57] <FAJ> jamesish:  o lol just jumping in when i can ;)
[06:57] <ezzieyguywuf> enselic: thats a bash command?
[06:57] <Enselic> ezzieyguywuf: ya
[06:57] <devslashnull> i dont have any media
[06:57] <CaptainMorgan> jamesish, np, thanks anyways :)

[06:57] <ezzieyguywuf> enselic: what are the semicolons, and what is the 'done', that actually looks like it will work :-)
[06:57] <Enselic> ezzieyguywuf: might wanna sed away the beginning of te absolute source paths
[06:58] <acee12345> i tried to install drivers from the ati website because they were newer than those offered on synaptic but after i did that i did an update which updated my kernel and upon reboot i got a completely yellow display(with working compiz) and was unable to reverse it so i formatted. now im starting anew and was wandering if one of you might walk me through it so i dont hose my system again. version 8.04 x1400 ati
[06:58] <Enselic> ezzieyguywuf: that's just basic bash scripting, refer to any non-trivila bash tutorial

[06:58] <shansha> media player not working
[06:58] <ezzieyguywuf> enselic: ok thanks for the help
[06:59] <joshual> ah yes there is a way... nautilus>preferences>media (tab)
[06:59] <joshual> sort of
[06:59] <jamesish> themime: ifconfig looks fine. You can try out starting mysql on a different port, see if that works out.
[06:59] <joshual> cant designate your own...
[07:00] <themime> now to find the mysql config file...
[07:01] <jamesish> themime: I think it's just the -p flag when you start the daemon.
[07:01] <binarymutant> anyone compile awesome 3 yet? I'm getting a LUA_INCLUDE_DIR (ADVANCED) error but I have all the dependencies installed
[07:02] <bruenig> binarymutant: use dwm
[07:02] <binarymutant> bruenig: that's what I have now :(
[07:02] <zigzags> could someone tell me what 'DBus' is in reference to Banshee audio player??
[07:02] <pj> whats the sound chnnel?
[07:02] <bruenig> binarymutant: you are all set then, back to computing
[07:03] <dr_willis> !dbus
[07:03] <pj> what channel is sound?
[07:03] <binarymutant> bruenig: lol I need the fibannacci patch for dwm to work
[07:04] <themime> jamesish: found it, /etc/mysql
[07:04] <zigzags> could someone tell me what DBus is? i get this error when running banshee music player: (DBus is not available) - Your environment is not properly set up to use DBus. Please fix your environment or run Banshee through dbus-launch. Failure to do so may cause problems at a later time in Banshee during this instance.
[07:04] <binarymutant> bruenig: and EWMH
[07:05] <themime> jamesish: hmm changing the port didn't help.  im sure its just not binding or something.  grrrr
[07:05] <jaak_> quaestion about transmission: I have 8Mb/1Mb broadband internet connection. I use transmission as my torrent client. For some reason, everytime it's on and it has even one assigned job,... all of my other programs using internet start failing/jamming ( they cant connect / transmit data for most of the time). Network monitors says that transmission is using 80kb/s down and 90kb/s up from my connection; so the reason cant be that i dont
[07:05] <jaak_> have any bandwidth left... Does anyone know what my problem is?
[07:06] <shawn-p> I'm trying to browse a Windows share from Ubuntu.  I can connect to my windows box fine (<IP_ADDRESS>).  However, when I try to view the contents of any folder, it prompts me with:  "Authentication required - you must log in to access<EMAIL_ADDRESS>domain MSHOME"
[07:06] <shawn-p> it asks me for a username, domain, and password
[07:06] <shawn-p> however, all of my normal credential information causes authentication to fail.
[07:06] <erpo> I want a wacom-like tablet at an un-wacomlike price. Must work with Ubuntu. Suggestions?
[07:06] <shawn-p> so I'm not sure what to provide -- "shawn"? "guest"? "administrator"? "SHAWN\Shawn"?
[07:06] <illumini-visser> hey all, I'm a first time ubuntu user. I've done my research (http://michaelvisser.com.au/blog/low-resolution-isue-ubuntu-intrepid-monitor/) and cannot force the screen resolution for a headless server. help?
[07:07] <zigzags> could someone reccommend me a non-stupid audio player other than vlc, banshee, and rhythmbox? they all have their own special retarded bugs
[07:07] <illumini-visser> erpo, we have yearly aldi specials on great tablets in australia that work with linux
[07:07] <jamesish>  themime: curiouser and curiouser.
[07:08] <erpo> illumini-visser: What brand?
[07:08] <illumini-visser> let me check, I've got one at work and home
[07:08] <illumini-visser> medion
[07:09] <erpo> illumini-visser: Thanks!
[07:09] <illumini-visser> I suspect it's a rebranding... have a look into it
[07:09] <zigzags> i need an audio player that doesnt 1) randomly stop playing music until a restart. 2) can play music overa local network without skipping every 10 seconds. 3) doesnt crash when removing large amounts of audio files whos file-path has been disconnected (unmounted)
[07:09] <zigzags> anyone know any?
[07:09] <illumini-visser> erpo, know how I can force the screen resolution in 8.1? I'm desperate
[07:09] <illumini-visser> zigzags, windows media player? :P
[07:09] <erpo> illumini-visser: I haven't used 8.10 yet. :/
[07:09] <zigzags> also, are there any processes or plugins i can restart that will fix my audio players not playing?
[07:10] <jamesish> themime: sudo lsof -P | grep :3306
[07:10] <zigzags> XD
[07:10] <illumini-visser> erpo, that's cool. thanks
[07:10] <themime> jamesish: nothing returned.  *mans lsof*
[07:10] <jjjj5555> question about ubuntu: I made an apt-get upgrade and now I experience that there is a random shivering scrolling. a "page" (e.g. webpage in firefox or a terminal window) does not stay steady but scrolls a little bit up, then a little bit down, up again, down again.. and so on... do you have any suggestions on where to start investigate this behaviour?
[07:10] <jamesish> themime:  sudo netstat -tadln look for something on :3306
[07:11] <nydoc> Can someone tell me where to find a bash teaching guide for absolute beginners?
[07:11] <zigzags>  are there any processes or plugins i can restart that will fix my audio players not playing?
[07:11] <themime> jamesish: nothing
[07:11] <jamesish> thou jest!
[07:12] <themime> nay
[07:12] <erpo> illumini-visser: What do you get with System->Preferences->Screen Resolution?
[07:12] <lirit> is this line valid: Option "XkbOptions"	"esc:nocaps"
[07:13] <jamesish> themime: ls /var/run/mysql/mysqld | grep sock
[07:13] <zigzags> anyone know what this crap means?
[07:13] <zigzags> Debug: [10/18/2008 2:06:03 AM] (DAP has not been added) - /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_457e269b_f9cc_40b2_ac2f_175a26e46c0c

[07:13] <jamesish> oops
[07:13] <jamesish> themime: just ls /var/run/mysqld | grep sock
[07:13] <themime> jamesish: you said that it being blank wasn't an issue (which it still is)
[07:13] <illumini-visser> erpo, just the basics. 480x640, 600x800... there's no monitor attached. I need to be able to define or force the resolution
[07:14] <zigzags> are there any processes or plugins i can restart that will fix my audio players not playing?
[07:14] <jamesish> themime: okay, we got the big guns now.
[07:14] <jamesish> themime: what, specifically, were you goofing with on networking?
[07:14] <zigzags> omg ubuntu is teh fail
[07:15] <jamesish> themime: because it sounds very much like something was changed, mysql restarted, and mysql is still attempting to bind to the old settings.
[07:15] <central> hello can you tell me how i can renew the configuration of deluge torrent.. cause i can not start deluge the config is corrupt i think need to reload it thanks
[07:15] <zigzags> what is the command to restart a process
[07:15] <erpo> illumini-visser: You might have luck writing an xorg.conf file to do it.
[07:15] <jamesish> zigzags: what process?
[07:16] <illumini-visser> erpo, I'll go back to windows if I have to do that! lol
[07:16] <zigzags> im not sure...my audio players have all stopped working, and im hoping there is something i can restart to make it work
[07:16] <jamesish> zigzags: by which I mean, is it a daemon or something you started? Generally there's a kill signal for restarting most processes, but daemons have init scripts.
[07:16] <illumini-visser> I'm looking at that option now, I'd like to have displayconfig-gtk installed, but it's deprecated in 8.1
[07:16] <zigzags> i usually have to log out then back in to get any audi players workign again
[07:17] <themime> jamesish: im confused, i thought you said that it being blank wasn't an issue before.  to answer your question, i was about to try doing something with a static IP since my router is still set to dhcp and i was thinking about changing it
[07:17] <jamesish> zigzags: No sound from audio that used to work means something is probably muted :P Did you check the output of alsamzer?
[07:17] <jamesish> themime: it's cool, I'm just double checking myself. I think you should verify your network settings and consider the deadly reboot.
[07:17] <jamesish> um
[07:18] <jamesish> zigzags: alsamixer, sorry
[07:18] <zigzags> ATM it is banshee, rhythmbox, and VLC, when doubleclicking files in their playlists the 'pause' button 'changes to playing, but the slider or w/e its called never starts moving
[07:18] <themime> jamesish: well, i just started it back up.  first thing i did was try to start mysql =/
[07:18] <zigzags> audio works thru opera, on pandora.com
[07:18] <themime> jamesish: ill poke around though
[07:18] <jjjj5555> I encounter a weird random scrolling in any applications, any ideas how I can start to investigate this issue?
[07:18] <zigzags> the players never play the music, they just sit at 00:00 time
[07:19] <zigzags> how do i check the output of alsamixer
[07:19] <jamesish> zigzags: this isn't gonna be alsa, so it makes no odds. You've verified that the files you're trying to play are okay otherwise?
[07:20] <zigzags> ya they haveall worked before
[07:20] <DCPom> what port does samba use?
[07:20] <r00t_> oin #ubuntu
[07:20] <DCPom> and how do you find out your local IP adress?
[07:21] <zigzags> all of the files are fine and I i just tested with ones I know have always orked
[07:21] <jamesish> zigzags: It's great that they've all worked before, but have you verified them since these issues started?
[07:21] <r00t_> How do i do this?: The VirtualBox kernel driver is not accessible to the current user. Make sure that the user has write permissions for /dev/vboxdrv by adding them to the vboxusers groups. You will need to logout for the change to take effect..
[07:21] <zigzags> no how would i do that
[07:21] <zigzags> its def some other problem
[07:21] <jamesish> zigzags: What kind of files are they?
[07:21] <zigzags> mp3
[07:22] <themime> jamesish: heh, i took the easy way out are restared first, no go.  poking around networking now
[07:22] <Ab3L> hallo
[07:22] <jamesish> zigzags: did they work okay in ubuntu or in a different OS?
[07:22] <zigzags> 'file <file>' returned: setgid Audio file with ID3 version 23.0 tag, MP3 encoding
[07:22] <zigzags> ubuntu
[07:23] <jamesish> zigzags: you have a copy of mplayer?
[07:23] <zigzags> ya
[07:23] <jamesish> try out the command line mplayer tool.
[07:23] <jamesish> mplayer foo.mp3
[07:23] <jjjj5555> zigzags: since when the do not work anymore?
[07:24] <zigzags> it pauses at: Starting playback...
[07:24] <zigzags> A:   0.0 (00.0) of 264.0 (04:24.0) ??,?%
[07:24] <zigzags> 10 minutes ago
[07:24] <zigzags> lemme rephrase that. it doent PAUSE there, it just HANGS there
[07:25] <zigzags> hmmm is this normal??:    'Forced audio codec: mad'
[07:25] <jamesish> themime: You might want to try out something like sudo mysqld --bind-address=<IP_ADDRESS>, to verify it's binding to localhost.
[07:26] <jamesish> zigzags: it's normal.
[07:26] <jjjj5555> restart alsa?
[07:26] <zigzags> how do i do that
[07:27] <jamesish> jjjj5555: I don't think it's alsa; sound works fine otherwise. Could be a corruption in the shared mp3 libraries.
[07:27] <jamesish> zigzags: might want to tail your logs and see if there's any interesting output.
[07:27] <jjjj5555> sometimes I have flash blocking my audio players
[07:27] <jjjj5555> or it seems like it is blocking
[07:28] <zigzags> omg itjust started workingin vlc
[07:28] <jamesish> Good call.
[07:28] <zigzags> but its skipping like a crack addict
[07:29] <rogan> imm   dtyuuuunnk
[07:29] <zigzags> ha nvm it wasjust 3 audio players suddenly playing at once
[07:29] <jjjj5555> alsa-utils in init.d
[07:30] <jjjj5555> zigzags: does it work now?
[07:30] <themime> jamesish: hmm, mysqld --bind-address=<IP_ADDRESS> seemed to work
[07:30] <zigzags> yea i closed opera and it worked, but nothing in opera was playing any audio
[07:31] <hml> what's the channel for ubuntu beta?
[07:31] <jamesish> Hah!
[07:31] <shawn-p> I'm having a lot of trouble trying to access my Windows share from Ubuntu.  I mounted it with the following command:  "sudo mount -t smbfs //<IP_ADDRESS>/prog /mnt/shawn".  It prompted me for a password, and I left it blank.  I then did "cd /mnt/shawn" followed by "ls", and I got back "ls: reading directory .: Permission denied"
[07:31] <shawn-p> does anyone know how to fix that? :/
[07:31] <jamesish> themime: cat /etc/mysql/my.cnf | grep bind would you?
[07:31] <zigzags> i had pandora running at one point, but only after the audio had already stopped working
[07:31] <rogan> police
[07:32] <vingian> hi
[07:32] <dr_willis> shawn-p,  could be its owned by root, not your user .  Personally now a days i tend to use the  'fusesmb' tool to let users mount the windows shares
[07:32] <vingian> whats the xlcient script that gdm says is my default session?
[07:32] <themime> jamesish: wow, i fail.  when i restarted my machine, it got a new IP, which i changed the proper forwards in my router... didn't think to look into hard coded conf files that might have had it...
[07:32] <dr_willis> .Xclient perhaps vingian  if it exists
[07:32] <kumaraa> hi any hot girls from india
[07:33] <kebomix> any body have tutorials about hacking wireless networks with ubuntu?
[07:33] <vingian> dr_willis: lemme try that
[07:33] <jamesish> themime: the correct way for mysql to be set up is with <IP_ADDRESS> i my.cnf. Whoever changed that needs a punch.
[07:33] <dr_willis> vingian,  its either .Xclient or .Xsession
[07:33] <jamesish> themime: your mission is to find hte relevant person and punch in the gut.
[07:33] <SuperMario1776> Hello. I tried to install nubuntu, but I've failed. I wrote "kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic root=/dev/hda1 ro" in to menu.lst but it turns out I should have used "sda1". Now I've got an error during boot saying "ALERT! /dev/hda1 does not exist. Dropping to shell!". Now I am at a prompt that says "(initramfs)"
[07:33] <Uplink> Foobillard is glitching and the frames are messed up
[07:33] <SuperMario1776> Can I fix this?
[07:34] <themime> jamesish: this is my personal server, not work related, so it was me.  i think i had the crack pipe lit while i was trying to do something with remote db connections
[07:34] <jamesish> themime: you must punch yourself. In the gut. It's not like it's optional.
[07:34] <vingian> dr_willis: the reason i wonder is because that script is doing something
[07:34] <vingian> to setup my desktop fonts
[07:34] <vingian> dr_willis: i don't know if its starting a settings daemon or what
[07:35] <jamesish> SuperMario: yes, you can. Simplest way, though, is to use the liveCD.
[07:35] <themime> oh, apparently there are two separate sections, one for localhost bind and one for local lan bind. doh!
[07:35] <vingian> but if i just go into xfce - my fonts are all wonky
[07:35] <dr_willis> vingian,  i just use it to launch a custom desktop.
[07:35] <dr_willis> vingian,  could be the gnome-settings deamon.
[07:35] <vingian> if i let xclient load gnome and then log out and log back into xfce
[07:35] <vingian> everything is great
[07:35] <Aaqil>  Ruby at my ubuntu with easiest way?
[07:35] <dr_willis> !ruby
[07:35] <Aaqil> How to get ruby
[07:35] <jamesish> Aaqil: sudo apt-get install ruby
[07:35] <vingian> dr_willis: well - i tried launching gnome-settings-daemon myself, but it just kinda sits there
[07:35] <SuperMario1776> ok, for the live cd, should I choose to boot without making changes, or to install?
[07:36] <jjjj5555> do you want to install?
[07:36] <dr_willis> SuperMario1776,  install  would start the isntaller an want to reformat/reinstall the system
[07:36] <Aaqil> jamesish: how to start ruby?
[07:36] <zigzags> ruby
[07:37] <SuperMario1776> not in my experience, the installer doesn't do much of jack
[07:37] <jamesish> Aaqil: ruby's like an interpreter, a shell, you don't start it. You just learn the language then write code.
[07:37] <SuperMario1776> but I'll use "don't make changes" option
[07:37] <Aaqil> jamesish:  :( but there it was easy in windows
[07:37] <dr_willis> Theres dozens of ruby tutorial sites out. :)
[07:37] <Uplink> ruby on rails?
[07:38] <Aaqil> jamesish: ok when i write code where to compile etc?
[07:38] <dr_willis> ruby fun --> http://hacketyhack.net/
[07:38] <themime> jamesish: confirmed with /etc/init.d/mysql start, works fine now.  time to go back to my "10 minute install" of tikiwiki s/10/80
[07:38] <jamesish> Aaqil: ruby's interepreted, not compiled. You can run the ruby script anywhere you are able to set execute privileges on files.
[07:38] <jamesish> themime: awesome!
[07:39] <dr_willis> http://www.digitalmediaminute.com/article/1816/top-ruby-on-rails-tutorials
[07:39] <Aaqil> ok thanks
[07:39] <Aaqil> dr_willis :D
[07:39] <themime> jamesish: im out, thanks a lot
[07:39] <dr_willis> Ruby on Rails - is not quite the same as 'ruby' :) but  i guess they overlap
[07:39] <Aaqil> actually i am new at rubylearning.org
[07:40] <dr_willis> http://rubylearning.com/
[07:40] <dr_willis> :) i just googled and got that one also.
[07:40] <Uplink> :)
[07:40] <jamesish> Okay, I see where the misunderstanding was. Ruby on Rails is simple.aaqil. Install ruby, then install the rubygems package. From there you can do rails with sudo gem install rails
[07:41] <bingungaja> hello, is it normal that i can't send file from Nokia to ubuntu (file in nokia - send as - bluetooh), but i can get them paired ( I can browse nokia directory in ubuntu), but from ubuntu, there's no problem to send file to Nokia (file in ubuntu - send as- bluetooth) ,,, anyone please ?

[07:48] <SuperMario1776> tried that, couldn't find menu.lst, no target folder
[07:50] <jamesish> SuperMario1776: what command did you use to mount the hard drive?
[07:50] <inflex> Why is it even after I've installed a new font package (in this case, jmk-xfonts ) I don't see them in the typical font-selector dialogs?
