[20:51] <erUSUL> Solaris444: it only means that aptitude will follow different strategies when upgrading packages
[20:51] <Pici> Solaris444: dist-upgrade only pulls in pacakges that have new dependencies, it doesn't upgrade you to the next release.
[20:51] <Solaris444> thanks guys.  I'll be happy to safely dist-upgrade then.
[20:51] <johnny5_> erUSUL: an admin windows apears and then disapears the program doesn't start
[20:51] <harry__> do anyone tell me how to quit? this is my first visit...
[20:52] <Solaris444> harry, you need to type in /leave
[20:52] <Pici> harry__: Just close the windo or do /quit

[20:52] <freemonttroll> i want to create a symlink foo that links to /home/bar ;  problem is there is a directory named foo where i want the symlink to be.... can i OVERRIDE it so that the symlink can be named foo and link to /home/bar ?

[20:53] <Tr1n> asager:  my http is down at the moment otherwise I would look for you. I found it on Ubuntu forums, I think.
[20:53] <matreya6> Can anyone help me to install GRUB for Ubuntu Jaunty 64 on a box with 4 HDD's of which 2 are in hardware RAID1 (containing /home) and another disk that is setup as start disk and contains / (root)? Using the alternate installer everything seems to work fine, until I try to reboot... :-(
[20:53] <papapep> gosh, how many trolls/noobs this last days...
[20:53] <erUSUL> johnny5_: tried with « sudo nano /etc/rc.local » ?
[20:53] <jusut> i have got ubuntu using rt2600 for connection to the net...  nm wont connect automatically... just keeps spinning after i have selected the network... then eventually connecting.  spin of death. is there any way i can make ubuntu connect automatically?????
[20:54] <johnny5_> erUSUL: not yet... I'll try...
[20:54] <ExAstris> Hi all. I'm using Madwifi 0.9.4 to replace ath9k, because of ath9k's serious connection dropping issue. However, for some reason, madwifi proves to be extremely slow. I have like 95% packet loss and webpages take forever to load.
[20:54] <ExAstris> Why would this b/
[20:54] <ExAstris> be?*
[20:54] <tuxxie> Bart6114, be careful with the -m option it will mirror the hole site.
[20:55] <johnny5_> erUSUL: /etc/sudoers is owned by uid 33, should be 0
[20:55] <stefg> jusut: afair rt2600 has problems with wpa2 authentication ....
[20:55] <erUSUL> johnny5_: :|
[20:55] <erUSUL> johnny5_: you have a busted sudoers file ?
[20:55] <Pici> freemonttroll: using ln -sf should remove the file if a file in the link's location already exists.  but you should look at the man page and test it elsewhere.
[20:56] <johnny5_> erUSUL: I may have messed it up trying to get permission to it myself
[20:56] <matreya6> johnny5_, next time use visudo
[20:56] <jusut> stefg: thanks for your reply... i will have a go at just wpa?
[20:56] <erUSUL> johnny5_: what have you doe ? changed the permission of that file ? or you did it for more files ?
[20:57] <stefg> jusut: try and see if improves the situation... i remember dealing with a similar problem.... but it's just too long ago
[20:57] <johnny5_> erUSUL: I done it to the etc directory I want access to all my files
[20:57] <erUSUL> johnny5_: o.0!!!!!!!!!!!
[20:57] <Bart6114> tuxxie: ok thanks!
[20:58] <myk_robinson> how do I created a password protected archive with Ubuntu? Found some info online, but it does not seem to be working.
[20:58] <erUSUL> johnny5_: so your install is borked beyond repair... :|
[20:58] <johnny5_>  sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /etc
[20:58] <johnny5_>  is what I did thinking it would work like when I gave myself permission to the www folder
[20:58] <jusut> stefg: are there any interfaces or wpa config files that i shouljd have a loook at??
[20:58] <FloodBot3> johnny5_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:58] <johnny5_> in apache
[20:58] <erUSUL> myk_robinson: only one file ? or a directory ?
[20:58] <johnny5_> sudo chmod -R 775 /etc
[20:58] <johnny5_>  also
[20:59] <erUSUL> johnny5_: you will have to reinstall i'm afraid
[20:59] <jusut> stefg: because i have tried lots of things... obviuosly not in the right order...
[20:59] <myk_robinson> erUSUL: I have one file that I want to place within a .zip and password protect so that in the event the file intercepted by someone other than the intended recipient, it will be a bit more difficult to open
[20:59] <johnny5_> erUSUL: not all of ubunto I hope
[20:59] <johnny5_> *ubuntu
[20:59] <erUSUL> myk_robinson: use gpg
[20:59] <myk_robinson> erUSUL: the person on the other end is a Windows user, if it matters
[21:00] <erUSUL> myk_robinson: gpg -c myfile.zip
[21:00] <erUSUL> myk_robinson: gpg exist for windows...
[21:00] <jusut> what about ndiswrapper???
[21:01] <erUSUL> myk_robinson: seems like the zip command in linux does have a -e switch to encrypt the file
[21:01] <myk_robinson> erUSUL: i did that, it asked for the password to encrypt. however, Windows XP was able to open it without a password.
[21:01] <moboutou> join #ubuntu-fr
[21:01] <moboutou> #join ubuntu-fr
[21:01] <erUSUL> johnny5_: yes all of ubuntu... that's easier than repairing all the permissions of the hundreds files in /etc/
[21:02] <erUSUL> myk_robinson: :! then use gpg... make the other use install wingpg
[21:03] <erUSUL> myk_robinson: http://www.gpg4win.org/
[21:03] <johnny5_> erUSUL: I did it with 1 command?
[21:04] <erUSUL> johnny5_: yep; mass changing file permissions is almost allways the worng answer in linux (specially of things under /etc/ )
[21:05] <johnny5_> erUSUL: I don't have this computer backed up I have things I need.
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[21:05] <johnny5_> Does ubuntu install over itself or have a repair mode
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> johnny5_: you could boot to recovery mode and run: sudo apt-get --reinstall instaa ubuntu-desktop
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> johnny5_: no backup = data is disposable
[21:07] <erUSUL> johnny5_: no repair mode as far as i know... clean install
[21:07] <SDFORMAT> hello does anyone know how to format a SD Card to FAT/32 on ubuntu 9.04 please
[21:07] <der_On> solved my problem. It was the Helvetica. I simply deactivated it cause it always used the Narrow-type of Helvetica instead of the regular.
[21:07] <johnny5_> My data is not disposable, I have a game server running...
[21:08] <stefg> johnny5_: everything you need is in /home and /etc ... there is no 'repair-install' mode
[21:08] <erUSUL> stefg: precissaly its /etc/ is what is busted (permissions not data though)
[21:08] <erUSUL> his*
[21:09] <Ademan> plus if he's running a game server he's probably got plent of stuff in /usr or /opt
[21:09] <stefg> johnny5_ , erUSUL : that'S bad.... like deleting the rgistry in windows ...
[21:09] <johnny5_> erUSUL: Can't I just change the permissions to anyone?
[21:09] <asger> i need some help. opera won't play flash content, but with firefox it works. What can be wrong?
[21:09] <SDFORMAT> !sd format SDFORMAT
[21:09] <SDFORMAT> !sdformat SDFORMAT
[21:09] <SDFORMAT> how do you format a sd card
[21:10] <erUSUL> stefg: sudo chmod -R 775 /etc and sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /etc
[21:10] <Ademan> johnny5_: you do NOT want to do that, even if you think you do...
[21:10] <erUSUL> stefg: that is what he runed
[21:10] <stefg> erUSUL: ouch
[21:10] <bucky> don't you want all your configuration file to be world readable and writable by any user?
[21:10] <bucky> then it can be like windows
[21:10] <erUSUL> stefg: so sudo does not work for a start
[21:10] <Ademan> bucky: you had me scared for a second haha
[21:10] <johnny5_> stefg, erUSUL: Reminds me back when I had my dos machine and I was trying to delete a directory for the first time so I decided to delete all the files in it thinking it would disapear including . and .. which was *.com...
[21:11] <Ademan> erUSUL: he can repair this from a liveCD, i haven't the slightest clue what proper permissions would be though, i'd start with root:root though
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> bucky: no as it will be massively unsecure, like windows
[21:12] <johnny5_> erUSUL: will cp still work I can backup everything on a different drive.
[21:12] <bucky> then we could do away with all this pesky sudo business
[21:12] <erUSUL> Ademan: as i said 22:01 < erUSUL> johnny5_: yes all of ubuntu... that's easier than repairing all the permissions of the hundreds files in  /etc/
[21:12] <tripps> how do I find out my version number?
[21:12] <erUSUL> Ademan: a clean reinstall is easier
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> bucky: sudo makes linux more secure
[21:12] <indy_> Evening folks
[21:12] <stefg> johnny5_: my best bet would be doing a backup, reinstall from scratch and check every file that you're going to overwrite for it'S permission beforehand... overwrite with saved cpoy, the chmod to the permissions it had before
[21:12] <geent1> How to hide my IP in XCHAT channels so others can't see my IP'S
[21:13] <bucky> geent1: make a donation to freenode and get a mask
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> bucky: it may be pesky, but if a malicious java or flash command has full access to your system then it can and will run rife copying and changing everything i twants
[21:13] <Ademan> geent1: use a proxy
[21:13] <indy_> need some help with my htpc build
[21:13] <geent1> bucky, aha
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> geent1: take off the tinfoil hat, job done
[21:13] <bucky> geent1: it's cheap
[21:13] <bucky> and worth it
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> hardly
[21:14] <johnny5_> stefg: I can isolate the directories to the webserver which isn't much and my eclipse workspace and MySQL databases should be enough..
[21:14] <geent1> ActionParsnip, how to take off the tinfoil hat
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> geent1: realise that no one cares and stop being so paranoid
[21:14] <indy_> i'm having trouble getting the nvidia drivers in ubuntu to scale the resolution so it fits my plasma TV

[21:14] <Gumby> hi all,  I am looking for a calendar sharing service to install on a ubuntu server.  It has to be able to share multiple calendars in an office.  anyone have any recommendations?  Ive briefly looked into opengroupware but the projects community seems rather sparse
[21:14] <indy_> can somebody help me with this?
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> indy_: have you ran: gksudo nvidia-settings
[21:15] <bucky> ActionParsnip: then he can get five people to tell him how to chown -R andy.andy /etc
[21:15] <indy_> yes
[21:15] <tripps> erUSUL, thanks!
[21:15] <johnny5_> Is there an undo program I can install so I don't have to go through this again if I mess up
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> bucky: that needs sudo
[21:15] <indy_> problem is i get the 1360x768 res, but it's off the screen
[21:15] <Pici> geent1,bucky: No need to donate to freenode, just join #freenode ask ask for a cloak.
[21:15] <tripps> why doesn't ubuntu put the version number in System ->About like every other OS/software package on the planet . . . ;)
[21:16] <stefg> !backuo | johnny5_
[21:16] <stefg> !backup | johnny5_
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> tripps: you can get in with:  lsb_release -a
[21:16] <indy_> i'm sure it must be the driver 'cause windows nvidia driver is ok
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> indy_: its not the driver, its the settings
[21:16] <bucky> Pici: you're right.. don't give them any money, they can get all their funding from Canonical and turn this whole server into irc.ubuntu.com
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> indy_: the same company makes the windows drivers as makes the linux driver
[21:17] <indy_> ok
[21:17] <stefg> johnny5_: since you're going to need backups anyway let me recommend rdiff-backup
[21:17] <tripps> I'm getting upgrade fetch of package 404 failures - running hardy heron. software sources all appear to be correct. Also cannot upgrade to 9.04. ideas?
[21:17] <indy_> what can i do to resolve this please?
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> indy_: you will need to fight xorg.conf if nvidia-settings won't play nice
[21:17] <bucky> tripps: they changed the repos for that a long time ago
[21:18] <indy_> i don't mind that but i don't know what i'm looking for
[21:18] <Flannel> bucky: No, they didn't.
[21:18] <tripps> bucky, this machine was in storage for a couple of months. Where should I point everything?
[21:18] <stefg> tripps: use a working dns server ?
[21:18] <ActionParsnip> indy_: well you'll need to set the res, as well as the refresh rates for the screen
[21:18] <bucky> Flannel: yes they did for *Heron*
[21:18] <Flannel> bucky: No, 8.04 is LTS.
[21:18] <tripps> stefg, dns is fine
[21:19] <indy_> but i already get the res...it's just it won't fit on the 42" screen
[21:19] <tripps> also getting random "cannot copy xauthorization file" messages while trying to get this machine upgraded
[21:19] <indy_> i've already made as much adjustment i can using the tv controls
[21:19] <Flannel> tripps: Your repos should be fine.  Can you pastebin the output of 'sudo apt-get update'?  Also, yuo can't upgrade directly to 9.04, you have to upgrade through 8.10
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> indy_: thats all i can suggest, you just gotta battle it out, make sure you mess with the refresh rates in the monitor section as wee as the settings for screen and diplay adapter
[21:20] <tripps> Flannel, http://pastebin.ca/1511441
[21:21] <indy_> ok
[21:21] <indy_> thanks for your help
[21:21] <indy_> i will go and try
[21:21] <indy_> bye for now
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> tripps: line 2 and 29 are identical
[21:22] <Flannel> tripps: I don't see any 404 errors there.
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> tripps: in your sources.lst file you have 2 entrys for: http://archive.canonical.com intrepid/partner
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> tripps: which is why you are getting the error
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> !hcl
[21:24] <Flannel> !upgrade | tripps, this page will tell you how to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 (and then to 9.04)
[21:27] <JuJuBee> If I want to blacklist visor.ko module where do I do that?
[21:28] <Jlone> every time i start to update ubuntu through the update manager, the download speed starts off around 70kb/s
[21:28] <Jlone> and then it will maybe be like that for about 3 seconds
[21:29] <Jlone> and it jumps down to 3000 ish b/s
[21:29] <Jlone> anyone have this happening as well?
[21:29] <StupidWeasel> You may wish to try a different mirror
[21:30] <sixdraw> Hi all. I've got a major problem. My CPU has been overheating somewhat the last nfew weeks so I oppened up my case to have a look. When I removed the heatsink I realised that the processor was stuck to the bottom with that thermal compound stuff holding it on, and some of the pins had bent. I straightened out the pins and cleaned the thermal compound off but now my pc starts for about half a second
[21:30] <ingcomrbr> Hi there..
[21:30] <sixdraw> Do you think I need to get a new motherboard and cpu or just get more of that thermal compound
[21:30] <ingcomrbr> I had a problem booting mu server..
[21:31] <sixdraw> Its an athlon 3200+ and all the pins are straight again and sloting in correctly
[21:31] <tripps> i'm getting these messages "failed to run synaptic <bunch of args> as user root. Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file."
[21:32] <ingcomrbr> I installed or updated the server with the kerlen 2.6.28-14 and rebooted, when server back it show me error 13 invalid or unsupported executable format
[21:32] <ingcomrbr> I don't got Windows.. only Ubuntu..
[21:32] <sixdraw> tripps the command you're giving is sudo synaptic?
[21:32] <arvid> is there a good way to setup a system wide proxy on linux (ubuntu)? I'm looking for a proxy below the application layer so applications doesn't have to support it
[21:33] <ingcomrbr> I had to choose last kernel
[21:33] <ingcomrbr> to enter..
[21:33] <sixdraw> tripps MAKE SURE YOU DONT HAVE ANOTHER PACKAGE INSTALLER OPEN
[21:33] <ingcomrbr> I had something worng?
[21:34] <tripps> sixdraw, just doing update from task bar.
[21:34] <sixdraw> tripps yeah you have to wait for that to finish first
[21:35] <olof_> untu-devel
[21:35] <ali1234> how can i unpack an rpm on ubuntu? 'rpm2cpio file.rpm | cpio -idv' does not work
[21:36] <tripps> sixdraw, i've killed the process and windows. what do I need to kill, lockfile I need to delete, etc., so I can  start over
[21:37] <genii> ali1234: Firstly you should use .deb files when possible and not .rpm . But that aside the app Alien can be used to convert them
[21:37] <puppy> hello?
[21:37] <ali1234> genii: i dont care about converting or installing, i just want the file out of the rpm
[21:37] <genii> ali1234: If you convert it to .deb then you can use ar -x debname.deb
[21:38] <puppy> Oh cool. Can one of you guys help me out?
[21:38] <sixdraw> tripps type alt F4
[21:38] <tripps> sixdraw, yeah don't need help doing that - ps axuw | grep up shows no running processes. however still getting xauthorization file errors. is there a lockfile I need to delete?
[21:38] <ali1234> genii: and how do i use alien? it wants to run as root?
[21:38] <bucky> !ask | puppy
[21:39] <sixdraw> tripps are there and processes listed as sudo
[21:39] <ali1234> genii: Unpacking of 'dvb-firmware-pack-0.1.1-1mapi2009.0.i586.rpm' failed at /usr/share/perl5/Alien/Package/Rpm.pm line 155.
[21:39] <ali1234> genii: that's what alien said
[21:39] <tripps> sixdraw, no
[21:40] <sixdraw> tripps im not sure what the exact process will be, but i know the update will lock you out of synaptic
[21:40] <puppy> I am having issues with my resolution. i have installed my video car drivers but i cant seem to get it off of the preset. how do i fix this?
[21:40] <genii> ali1234: alien --to-deb rmpfilename.rpm      is the usual method to convert them
[21:40] <DE> how can I declutter linux? it's loading slower than usual
[21:40] <poseidon> Does anyone have experience with smtp authentication?
[21:40] <ali1234> genii: yep, also fails
[21:41] <tripps> sixdraw, killed syn, killed update. nothing happening at all now. THEN, when trying to update, get xauthorization error
[21:41] <ali1234> genii: but rpm can list the contents
[21:41] <sixdraw> anywyas does anybody have any resolutions for my CPU/motherboard problem
[21:41] <genii> ali1234: Sounds like it may be a badly-formed file internally
[21:41] <sixdraw> I've narrowed it down to that by removing everything else
[21:41] <Trijntje> DE: do you mean defragging?
[21:42] <DE> Trijntje, something like that. I just want to make things work faster. It's been very slow recently
[21:42] <Trijntje> !defrag|DE
[21:42] <nat2610> I have a usb ethernet adapter and it works perfectly out of the box on a ubuntu but not on an older redhat. I'd like to know which driver is used for it on ubuntu, How can I know that ?
 well if you have compiz enabled and desktop cube etc. it can really slow down a lower spe system
[21:42] <Trijntje> DE: so i think the slowing is caused by something else
[21:42] <JPSman> what is the next name for 9.10?
[21:43] <AndrewGearhart_> hey folks, are there any recommended video cards for doing multiple monitors with hardware acceleration? Right now I'm just looking at a dual monitor situation w/ the desktop extended across both monitors. Monitors run at 1440x900
[21:43] <JPSman> and when was the last LTS?
[21:43] <DE> sixdraw, nope, don't have those enabled
[21:43] <DE> I am using ubuntu 9.04 with ext4
[21:44] <ubuntistas> how can i install flash player for flock any clue?
[21:44] <JPSman> AndrewGearhart - well this user has had good experience with nvidia, but I dont know if there are better cards out there
[21:44] <ali1234> genii: alien is just calling out to rpm2cpio, which is broken
[21:44] <ubuntistas> adobe flash player is not supported and it's not installing in jaunty
[21:45] <AndrewGearhart_> JPSman: I'm trying to find something that is going to have enough juice to be able to do things like Cairo, Beryl... etc.
[21:45] <Travis-42> I have a short script in cron.daily that doesn't seem to run daily even though it runs fine from the command line.  what could be wrong?
[21:45] <tripps> ok this is getting ridiculous. did rm ~/.Xauthority; sudo touch ~/.Xauthority && sudo chown $LOGNAME  ~/.Xauthority && sudo chmod 775 ~/.Xauthority and reinitiated update. Still getting "cannot copy user's xauthorization file"
[21:46] <genii> ali1234: rpm2cpio is a component of package named rpm. Does result of apt-cache policy rpm  show latest version installed which is available?
[21:46] <ali1234> genii: the rpm is corrupt
[21:46] <Guest71601> #ubuntu-tr
[21:46] <puppy> I am having issues with the resolution on my computer after upgrading to the 8.02 setup. How do i resolve the issue?
[21:46] <ali1234> genii: i just installed rpm specifically to unpack this file, so it should be
[21:46] <genii> Guest71601: /join #ubuntu-tr
[21:46] <bucky> puppy sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[21:46] <sixdraw> okay a more specific question. Will an AMD 3200+ work without thermal compound between the heat sink and processor?
[21:47] <nightrid3r> sixdraw nope
[21:47] <sixdraw> nightrid3r, why's that?
[21:47] <ubuntistas> how can i install flash player for flock any clue?
[21:47] <erUSUL> sixdraw: #hardware
[21:47] <tripps> what's the command line way to update all available update files?
[21:48] <nightrid3r> sixdraw the termal compound helps keep your proc cool, it will burn without it
[21:48] <tripps> sudo apt-get update all? or something?
[21:48] <erUSUL> tripps: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade ?
[21:48] <sixdraw> nightrid3r but it will boot up for a while before it crashes?
[21:48] <sixdraw> nightrid3r, or will it fail to boot at all
[21:49] <nightrid3r> sixdraw burn, like in totaly destroyed
[21:50] <coz_> tripps,  what are you trying to do?
[21:50] <tripps> erUSUL, it won't try to upgrade the distribution, right? i just want the updated files for heron
[21:50] <tripps> coz_, just trying to update my damn ubuntu box ;)
[21:50] <Nerva> sudo apt-get update i believe
[21:50] <Nerva> it goes through and checks for updates
[21:50] <coz_> tripps,   if you do sudo apt-get update  then   sudo apt-get dist-upgrade  that should do it
[21:50] <erUSUL> tripps: right; it will only get the security updates
[21:50] <coz_> tripps,  the dist-upgrade will not install a new version
[21:50] <blubawitz> does any one know is i should use the native ubuntu rt2600 driver for a belkin rt2600 pci or should i use nDiswrapper and the driver on te disk??
[21:51] <DE> how can I image my ubuntu 9.04 ext4 partition?
[21:51] <tripps> let me be more specific. just want to apply updates available, NOT distribution upgrade (i.e., go to 9.x)
[21:51] <tripps> coz_, ok cool
[21:51] <BigMao> Random question, after editing /etc/group, how do I "refresh" the information? I added myself to a group in order to get some permissions, but I still don't have the permissions for some reason.
[21:51] <nightrid3r> blubawitz ralink is well suported on ubuntu
[21:51] <sixdraw> nightrid3r thanks
[21:51] <erUSUL> BigMao: relogin
[21:51] <Jlone> how do i change the mirror for the update manager
[21:52] <Jlone> ?
[21:52] <BigMao> erUSUL, do I have to log out of X, or just open another terminal?
[21:52] <coz_> tripps, upgrade is used to install the newest versions of all packages currently installed on the system
[21:52] <coz_> tripps,   dist-upgrade, in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages"
[21:52] <tripps> coz_, gotcha
[21:52] <erUSUL> BigMao: also editing the file directly is not the best option... jus « sudo adduser $USER groupname »
[21:52] <erUSUL> BigMao: the former
[21:52] <BigMao> erUSUL, thanks :) I didn't know I could do that
[21:52] <tripps> coz_, curious then - what is the command line to actually do a distro upgrade?
[21:52] <nat2610> I have a usb ethernet adapter and it works perfectly out of the box on a ubuntu but not on an older redhat. I'd like to know which driver is used for it on ubuntu, How can I know that ?
[21:52] <BigMao> I guess I'll log out, it's no big deal
[21:52] <Jlone> StupidWeasel: How do I change the mirror for the Update Manager?
[21:53] <erUSUL> Jlone: System>Admin>Software sources
[21:53] <coz_> tripps,   that would be   sudo update-manager -d
[21:53] <tripps> coz_, cool. appreciate your help!
[21:53] <coz_> tripps,   no problem :)

[21:55] <ubuntistas> how can i install flash player for flock any clue?
[21:55] <Jlone> thank you erUSUL
[21:55] <erUSUL> Jlone: no problem
[21:55] <DE> ubuntistas, why would you post a facebook link?
[21:56] <ubuntistas> i just did an incorrect paste dude
[21:56] <DE> oh lol
[21:56] <jrib> ubuntistas: flock uses gecko or?
[21:57] <stovicek> ubuntistas: how about this: http://helpforlinux.blogspot.com/2008/12/get-flash-working-in-flock-browser-in.html
[21:57] <magical_walrus> How can I move files between Ubuntu and installtion of Windows on VirtualBox?
[21:57] <jrib> magical_walrus: try #vbox (also the official documentation explains iirc)
[21:58] <magical_walrus> Oh
[21:58] <stovicek> ubuntistas: or this http://deekayen.net/install-flash-flock-25-ubuntu-jaunty
[21:58] <laeg> which is more correct, compiling a program and putting it in /opt, /bin or /usr/bin?
[21:59] <DE> anyone know how to image ubuntu 9.04 and windows xp because I dual-boot them?
[21:59] <gunsmoke> it's only channel here
[21:59] <jrib> laeg: none of those!  You should probably just use /usr/local/.  I keep /opt for stuff that doesn't have a unix structure
[21:59] <erUSUL> DE: partimage ? clonezilla ?
[22:00] <jrib> gunsmoke: what?
[22:00] <DE> erUSUL, do I image both or just image ubuntu and it'll automatically image Windows xp as well?
[22:01] <erUSUL> DE:  ?
[22:01] <JuJuBee> How do I blacklist (what is proper way) a module in jaunty?
[22:01] <thiebaude> laeg, usally programs are in /usr/bin
[22:01] <jrib> !blacklist | JuJuBee
[22:01] <syslq78> After I installed kernel image, can I just adjust grub to boot it?
[22:01] <jrib> syslq78: if you are using the repositories, that should have been done automatically
[22:02] <laeg> jrib, thieebaude, it's something i'm make installing myself, not from synaptic if that changes anything?
[22:02] <jrib> laeg: /usr/local/
[22:02] <syslq78> jrib, it was not (I updated it trough ubuntu updates)
[22:02] <JuJuBee> jrib: I don't have that file, should I just create it?
[22:02] <syslq78> jrib, it was installed ok btw
[22:02] <laeg> jrib: ty
[22:02] <DE> erUSUL, how would I start?
[22:02] <Axchw> ave
[22:02] <jrib> JuJuBee: see what's there there might be a .conf missing or something
[22:02] <laeg> does anyone know the factoid for the ubuntu directory structure and explanation of nomenclature?
[22:02] <thiebaude> laeg, ok, i dont know anything about compiling programs
[22:03] <laeg> thiebaude: kk nps ty
[22:03] <erUSUL> DE: there is a partimage livecd... clonezilla has livecd's too
[22:03] <jrib> syslq78: something went wrong then
[22:03] <erUSUL> !lsb
[22:03] <JuJuBee> jrib: there is a blacklist.conf file
[22:03] <thiebaude> laeg, np, i wish i did know how to make my programs
[22:03] <syslq78> jrib, any ideas? System works perfectly otherwise
[22:03] <erUSUL> !lfhs
[22:03] <DE> erUSUL, does clonezilla support ext4?
[22:03] <jrib> !compile > thiebaude
[22:03] <erUSUL> DE: dunno
[22:03] <Antaranian> hi there
[22:04] <jrib> JuJuBee: check it out
[22:04] <thiebaude> !compile
[22:04] <thiebaude> i dont have the pm feature
[22:04] <JuJuBee> K thanks
[22:04] <Antaranian> I want to see KDE like bouncing icons near cursor in my ubuntu
[22:04] <jrib> JuJuBee: you can use that file or create your own, it doesn't matter.  Just organize it as you wish
[22:04] <Antaranian> can anyone here help me
[22:04] <Antaranian> ?
[22:04] <JuJuBee> Does it need to have a .conf after it or not?
[22:04] <fosa> in the synaptic package manager, does green mean installed?
[22:05] <jrib> JuJuBee: try both ways :)
[22:05] <JuJuBee> K
[22:05] <thiebaude> Antaranian, what was your question?
[22:05] <erUSUL> fosa: yes
[22:05] <jrib> syslq78: pastebin relevant information I guess (apt-cache policy LINUX_IMAGE_PACKAGE; cat /boot/grub/menu.lst)
[22:05] <Antaranian> in kde, when you're running application, app's icon starts top bounce near cursor
[22:06] <Antaranian> thiebaude: in kde, when you're running application, app's icon starts top bounce near cursor
[22:06] <fosa> erUSUL, :)
[22:06] <thiebaude> Antaranian, im not familiar with kde,sorry
[22:06] <Antaranian> thiebaude: ok, thanks :)
[22:06] <thiebaude> Antaranian, np
[22:06] <Antaranian> anyone here used kde ?
[22:07] <JRSmile> moin
[22:07] <JRSmile> did once
[22:07] <Antaranian> JRSmile: it was to me ?
[22:07] <JRSmile> yes
[22:08] <burris> how do I turn off strong password checking (i.e. passwd won't reject "bad" or "simple" passwords)?  I looked in /etc/pam.d/passwd and didn't find anything beyond @include password-common ...  I also tried googling but had no luck... and please don't try to convince me not to do this or that it's a bad idea
[22:08] <Antaranian> JRSmile: ok, you remember bouncing icons near cursor when loading application ?
[22:08] <ubuntistas> how can i enable user sharing?
[22:08] <JRSmile> sure
[22:08] <jrib> ubuntistas: user sharing of what?
[22:08] <thiebaude> burris, never heard of that feature and been using ubuntu for 4yrs
[22:09] <Antaranian> JRSmile: I missed that function in my gnome :)
[22:09] <burris> thiebaude, I'm using the passwd command line program
[22:09] <Antaranian> JRSmile: maybe you know how to implement it ?
[22:09] <thiebaude> burris, k
[22:09] <JRSmile> unfortunately as you may have noticed it is build in kde itself, there is a windows port but i don't have seen it for gnome yet.
[22:10] <JRSmile> sry
[22:10] <ubuntistas> it says to terminal to enable system administrative sharing jrib
[22:10] <jrib> ubuntistas: what is "it"?  What says?
[22:10] <Antaranian> JRSmile: ist sad :(
[22:11] <Antaranian> JRSmile: thank you
[22:11] <JRSmile> no problemo
[22:11] <burris> duhh, common-password is another file in pam.d that has a lot of options in it
[22:11] <DE> Do you guys prefer clonezilla or partimage?
[22:11] <ubuntistas> Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing. jrib
[22:12] <mechtech> in transmission, what does this message mean?: We have unchoked this peer, but they are not interested
[22:12] <jrib> ubuntistas: pastebin the message in its entirety please

[22:12] <magical_walrus> How can I move files between Ubuntu and installtion of Windows on VirtualBox? (No one is responding on #vbox
[22:12] <jrib> magical_walrus: did you check the vbox official documentation?
[22:12] <mechtech> magicartualboxl_walrus: you must set up file sharing on vi
[22:12] <JRSmile> @magical you can always use network shares.
[22:12] <audifahrer> After an apt-get update ubuntu 8.10 overwrote my hand installed ati driver. Now I reinstalled the ATI driver from the ATI website but XV is no longer working: http://nopaste.org/p/aW3uSvhepb
[22:13] <magical_walrus> jrib: Where is that?
[22:13] <jrib> mechtech: here you go... http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html#sharedfolders
[22:13] <audifahrer> But OpenGL and video with -vo gl is working. Any ideas why? I have a ATI Technologies Inc M22 [Mobility Radeon X300].
[22:13] <mechtech> magical_walrus, you must set up file sharing on virtualbox
[22:13] <zenergi> If you have a raid5 in a degraded state with the addition of filesystem errors, is is safer to let users backup data before the rebuild, or to put the system on ice until a rebuild is complete? Also, what would be the best time to run fsck on this volume?
[22:13] <syslq78> What is aptitude alternative to apt-cache policy?
[22:13] <jrib> syslq78: use apt-cache policy
[22:13] <rek> i don't see my usb
[22:13] <magical_walrus> JRSmile: I'm not sure how
[22:13] <rek> i'm usin kde
[22:13] <mechtech> jrib: I'm not using virtualbox, magical_walrus is
[22:13] <spO> is ther e help channel for beginners?
[22:13] <erUSUL> syslq78: none afaics

[22:14] <magical_walrus> jrib: Thanks
[22:14] <jrib> spO: this one
[22:14] <spO> how do i change root's password so i can do a su -
[22:14] <jrib> !root | spO
[22:14] <JRSmile> just use windows shares as you would if you wold have it installed nativly without vm, linux then can use thesmb-cient package to mount theese shares as normal drives.
[22:14] <syslq78> jrib, btw it's fine, I think some update setting default is fscked since I was asked what to do about grub entry after updating kernel image and I clicked without reading. I'll edit by hand and read next time
[22:14] <ingcomrbr> I had a problem booting mu server..
[22:14] <ingcomrbr> I installed or updated the server with the kerlen 2.6.28-14 and rebooted, when server back it show me error 13 invalid or unsupported executable format
[22:14] <ingcomrbr> I don't got Windows.. only Ubuntu..
[22:14] <ingcomrbr> I had something worng?
[22:15] <FloodBot3> ingcomrbr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:15] <spO> root doesn't have a password anymore? i am trygint to set one up
[22:15] <mechtech> is there a transmission room?
[22:15] <spO> i installed ubuntu server and it doesn't even have the nice easy to use desktop/gui environemnt when i load it
[22:15] <magical_walrus> JRSMile: I don't see a smb-client package, and I've installed samba and samba4 already
[22:16] <ingcomrbr> FloodBot3. what? Is this the mistake on my servber?
[22:16] <DrMrHorse> sp0: you can start a root shell from a user with sudo access by putting  sudo -i  into a terminal
[22:16] <jrib> spO: did you read the link ubottu gave you?  You should use sudo instead.  If you want a gui, install one :)
[22:16] <mechtech> !transmission
[22:16] <spO> what about setting a root password, how come i cannot do that
[22:16] <JRSmile> should work if yoi can do a mount -t cifs or have the smbmount command ready.
[22:16] <bucky> magical_walrus: it's smbclient with no dash
[22:17] <magical_walrus> bucky: Oh, thanks
[22:17] <bucky> magical_walrus: apt-cache search smb |grep client
[22:17] <mechtech> bucky: do you know about transmission?
[22:17] <magical_walrus> bucky: Does it have a GUI?
[22:17] <sebsebseb> !root | spO
[22:17] <sebsebseb> !noroot | spO
[22:17] <JRSmile> gnomes filemanager nautilus has a gui for it.
[22:17] <DrMrHorse> !wfm
[22:18] <DrMrHorse> w/e
[22:18] <ubuntistas> usr/lib/firefox/plugins i used this stovicek but i caanot find the package for the flash player
[22:18] <spO> can anyone do a sudo -i ?
[22:18] <jrib> spO: you can do it, it's just not necessary
[22:18] <bucky> magical_walrus: swat is the web based configuration tool.. google for some ubuntu docs on how to do it right
[22:18] <DrMrHorse> they hinder logging in as root because people have historically messed it up too much
[22:18] <rek> i don't see my usb
[22:18] <rek> i'm usin kde
[22:18] <n00b101> how would you record logons, passwords, software licenses and security access for users on a small windows network?
[22:18] <spO> can you guys do a sudo -i or only a few people?
[22:18] <jrib> spO: no, only people with sudo privileges.  By default any user in the "admin" group can.  Only the first user created is a member of the "admin" group by default
[22:18] <Cube> hey, is there a channel or a group for ubuntu (or gnome) UI designers?
[22:19] <rek> sp0 and all the chan i don't see my usb cube jrib n00b101
[22:19] <Cube> rek: lol
[22:19] <rek> Cube
[22:19] <Cube> rek: did you connect it to the computer?
[22:19] <mechtech> sp0: why do you want root access for a whole session? The priviledges are set up to try to prevent you from hosing your machine by accident
[22:19] <rek> i've tried to mount it
[22:19] <rek> yes
[22:19] <DrMrHorse> sp0: i got here late, what are you trying to do with logging in as root?
[22:19] <spO> i installed xinit, and now i try to do a startx and it does not work, it says no file or some other stuff, what else do i have to install besides xinit?
[22:19] <Cube> rek: did you mount it?
[22:19] <rek> yes with the terminal
[22:19] <bucky> mechtech i've never used transmission but there are a lot of how tos on the internet
[22:19] <MrPenguin> sudo su    :-)
[22:19] <jrib> spO: just install the package for the window manager you want.  It should pull in anything you need
[22:20] <ubuntistas> http://deekayen.net/install-flash-flock-25-ubuntu-jaunty any clue how to do that?
[22:20] <mechtech> bucky: thanks
[22:20] <Cube> rek: you dont see your usb? maybe you should try wearing glasses. or do you mean your computer doesn't see the usb?
[22:20] <MrPenguin> sudo passwd to set root pwd
[22:20] <bucky> mechtech: did you install from the repos?
[22:20] <stovicek> ubuntistas: mkdir ~/.flock/plugins ...download flash from adobe, extract the libflashplayer.so and place it in the new plugins folder. I just did it within the last few minutes, works fine.
[22:20] <bucky> should be easy
[22:20] <jrib> !noroot | MrPenguin
[22:20] <spO> loggin in as root allows other login users who use the who command to fear what they are doing
[22:20] <rek> i don't find it in mnt
[22:20] <Cube> rek: xD
[22:20] <MrPenguin> sorry .. i don have one set either but he seemd to want to know how to do it
[22:20] <mechtech> bucky: nope...came installed on my machine as default torrent client
[22:20] <Cube> rek: hmm so if you fire up nautilus ir doesnt show up?
[22:20] <rek> i've created the folder manually
[22:20] <Cube> hey, is there a channel or a group for ubuntu (or gnome) UI designers?
[22:20] <ubuntistas> stovicek complicated explain
[22:21] <rek> what's the tool for automount works with gnome ?
[22:21] <CopyWriter> success!
[22:21] <rek> with gnome it works with kde no
[22:21] <jrib> ubuntistas: What do you mean?  That page just gives you a command to run
[22:21] <Cube> rek: a good reason to switch right there
[22:21] <bucky> mechtech: that's cool.. some people really like it but you can apt get a lot of other clients
[22:21] <spO> i installed xinit, what else do i install to get xwin working?  maybe i ought to install the desktop edition instead of server edition
[22:21] <rek> no cube
[22:21] <rek> wanna mount it now
[22:21] <jrib> spO: why did you install the server edition?
[22:22] <spO> jrib, becasue this is a server box
[22:22] <spO> a file server box for one at least
[22:22] <DrMrHorse> my hardy won't boot.  jaunty on another partition works fine. in recovery, the crawl stops at the reference to the cd-rom drive. i can read, write, and fsck the partition that hardy is (or was) on. any help?
[22:22] <Cube> rek: lol ok
[22:22] <spO> it is my htpc box and hosues all my movies
[22:22] <Cube> rek: what did you type into the terminal
[22:22] <jrib> spO: then why do you need a gui :)  Just install ubuntu-desktop if you want all of the stuff that's on the regular ubuntu
[22:22] <ubuntistas> how do i put the flash player of firefox to the folder of flock plugins it' complicated i cannot find it jrib
[22:22] <rek> sudo
[22:22] <jrib> ubuntistas: run the ln -s command given to you on that page
[22:23] <mechtech> bucky: it's ok, I just have a question about a message from transmission...it said: we have unchoked the connection to this peer, but they do not care...you know what this means?
[22:23] <stovicek> ubuntistas: 1) get flash from adobe: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ 2) download the Linux .tar.gz 3) extract the libflashplayer.so from the .tar.gz file 4) move it to ~/.flock/plugins/ 5) launch/restart flock 6) enjoy
[22:23] <rek> cube sudo modprobe usb-storage
[22:23] <spO> in order to get my ubuntu server edition to run xwin , do i have to recompile a new kernel?
[22:23] <jrib> spO: no.
[22:23] <rek> sudo mkdir /mnt/usb
[22:23] <spO> then, i would like to take steps to add the desktop features to my server box
[22:23] <spO> such as adding xwin
[22:23] <rek> cube sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
[22:24] <Cube> rek: aah
[22:24] <jrib> spO: I already told you two ways to do it, you aren't listening
[22:24] <jrib> !who | spO
[22:24] <Cube> rek: reboot
[22:24] <rek> sure?
[22:24] <abbazabba> i'm back again.. is there any way to install a flash plugin for x64?
[22:24] <CopyWriter> i want to migrate my office pc's to ubuntu, everything linux
[22:24] <rek> ok but why
[22:24] <spO> jrib, you told me to install desktop version instead of server edition
[22:24] <archman> hello
[22:24] <jrib> spO: no, I didn't
[22:24] <spO> jrib, but i want it to be a mixture of the two
[22:24] <CopyWriter> i got 93 desktops and 2 win 2003 server
[22:24] <jrib> spO: ubuntu-desktop is a package you install
[22:24] <CopyWriter> thing is i'm stumped
[22:24] <yigal> I've set my APT policy to always install recommends but I get a huge list of software that is to be autoremoved, software that I don't want removed.  Any suggestions for how eliminate this list so if I do a 'apt-get autoremove' these packages won't be removed? thank you
[22:24] <DrMrHorse> sp0: ubuntu-desktop is a package. do sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[22:25] <spO> oh
[22:25] <spO> thanks
[22:25] <DrMrHorse> np
[22:25] <mechtech> bucky: any idea?
[22:25] <jrib> archman: sure, just install flashplugin-nonfree from the multiverse repository.  That will get you 32bit flash running with a wrapper.  If instead you want the alpha 64bit plugin from adobe, download the tar.gz from adobe's site and drop libflashplayer.so in ~/.mozilla/plugins/
[22:25] <DrMrHorse> theres also a trick to get a gui with root too, in addition to any legit ways of getting there
[22:26] <archman> jrib, wrong target :D
[22:26] <archman> ;)
[22:26] <jrib> abbazabba: sure, just install flashplugin-nonfree from the multiverse repository.  That will get you 32bit flash running with a wrapper.  If instead you want the alpha 64bit plugin from adobe, download the tar.gz from adobe's site and drop libflashplayer.so in ~/.mozilla/plugins/
[22:26] <jrib> archman: ugh, sorry
[22:26] <spO> what is the differnece betweenn a virtual package and a non virtual package in aptitude?
[22:27] <dimension128> I have gone through as many applicable possible fixes as I could find on the net, I have no idea what to try next. My mic used to work with a previous version of ubuntu, and I believe it even worked with rc's - But now it does not work at all. It is a built in mic on a laptop. I am on 9.04 64bit (2.6.28-14-generic), my laptop is a | HP Pavilion dv7-1245dx |.   All of my sound information can be found at this url: http://www.alsa-proje
[22:27] <dimension128> ct.org/db/?f=83318124dc6e02bb6c306080399faf20cb06243c   -   If anyone thinks they can help, or even give me a simple suggestion pm me. Thank you.
[22:27] <FloodBot3> dimension128: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:27] <dimension128> ? that was just one line sorry.
[22:27] <archman> btw, my friend is in a live cd ubuntu now trying to remove the old ubuntu partition where the installation was. that partitions are having this "key" sign, but the "unmount" option is greyed out. what to do to unmount em and remove em??
[22:27] <rek> cube i don't see it
[22:27] <archman> thanks, btw
[22:28] <mechtech> why did this guy say this to me: <DE> stfu already
 stop pirating shit
[22:28] <thiebaude> !language
[22:28] <jrib> mechtech: if it didn't happen in the channel, just /ignore
[22:28] <bucky> mechtech: this is how unchoking is done.. but it sounds like some quality of service issue with your isp to me http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTyrant#Strategic_peer_selection_-_an_analogy
[22:28] <DrMrHorse> or even if it did
[22:29] <spO> in aptitude, how do i do a search? i see it on the menu, but i do not know how to get to that menu
[22:29] <mechtech> jrib: ok...do you know what stfu means?
[22:29] <yigal> so anyone know how to change autoinstalled packages to manually installed batch wise?

[22:40] <qkgus> hey all. using ubuntu jaunty, im trying to transfer files to an external (ext4) HD. files transfer rate starts at 10mb/s but then drops to a consistent 1mb/s transfer rate. system problem? idk. anyone got any ideas how i can maintain a consistent 10mb/s?
[22:40] <lwells> abbazabba: did you go to about:plugins in firefox to make sure?

[22:40] <saml> sudo su ubuntu -l -c 'echo $A'    where A is exported in .bashrc  does not get reflected
[22:40] <jrib> abbazabba: alpha means they haven't released it as stable.  I use it and it works fine though
[22:40] <archman> gabriel_ any help?
[22:40] <mattwj2002> I appreciate the advice
[22:40] <mattwj2002> :)

[22:41] <jrib> archman: try the channel (I'll be back in 10 minutes)
[22:42] <dimension128> archman: Have you tried 'sudo umount /dev/sdx' ?
[22:42] <archman> qkgus, can't remove those partitions, seems like they're mounted
[22:42] <Zobin> Hey dudes and dudettes

[22:42] <mechtech> !hi | Zobin
[22:42] <archman> dimension128, yes, says it's not mounted LOL, but in gparted it says opposite
[22:42] <archman> gabriel_ ok?
[22:42] <qkgus> archman: cant unmount them in nautilus?
[22:42] <mechtech> Zobin: what's up?
[22:43] <gabriel_> you used the gparted
[22:43] <Zobin> mechtech: I want to add a hard drive so I can browse it in Windows XP
[22:43] <Zobin> Using the Virtualbox
[22:43] <r0n> hola
[22:43] <millertime> Hi, could someone recommend me an internal wireless card for my desktop?
[22:43] <mechtech> Zobin: mount the drive first in linux...then setup sharing in virtualbox
[22:44] <archman> gabriel_ ??? yes i have
[22:44] <euxneks> is there a karmic discussion room?
[22:44] <Zobin> mechtech: The drive is a physical harddrive
[22:44] <mechtech> millertime: 2wire...cheap and reliable
[22:44] <lwells> #ubuntu+1
[22:44] <gabriel_> archman the /dev/sda3 is busy?
[22:44] <joeyeye> millertime, any atheros chipset card (netgear, linksys, ... ) will work
[22:44] <qkgus> anyone know how to increase file transfer rate to ext. hd?
[22:44] <mechtech> Zobin: I figured that much
[22:44] <millertime> awesome thanks guys
[22:44] <gabriel_> what is the message when you use umount ?
[22:44] <Zobin> mechtech: Cool, but I have the drive mounted
[22:45] <mechtech> Zobin: must setup sharing in virtualbox to use drives/partitions outside of the virtual partition you already use
[22:45] <archman> gabriel_ yes! it gparted says
[22:45] <binarymutant> I added this ati hd video card to my computer and now I have no sound, how can I use the onboard sound instead of the video cards?
[22:45] <Zobin> mechtech: Where in the settings menu do I do that?
[22:45] <gabriel_> you need close the programs that use the /dev/sda3 and then unmount he
[22:46] <mechtech> Zobin: one sec
[22:46] <abbazabba> lwells: how did you go about doing that?
[22:46] <abbazabba> lwells: installing flash via the repositories
[22:46] <dimension128> archman: Just a guess, maybe the exact device name is different. does it show up in the list when you just type 'mount' ?
[22:47] <yaris123456789> hello guys, i cna't remember login / pw for ubuntu...how can i recover it ?
[22:47] <archman> dimension128, a sec

[22:48] <erUSUL> yaris123456789: « passwd username »
[22:48] <gabriel_> when you close you will can unmount the device

[22:50] <Jazbo> where are they stored
[22:50] <gabriel_> ok
[22:50] <nanotube> Jazbo: you mean the "system" "places" and "applications" ?
[22:50] <jrib> abbazabba: you need to restart your browser after you have ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[22:50] <dimension128> archman: its not mounted. wouldnt you agree gabriel_ ?
[22:50] <Jazbo> yes
[22:51] <poseidonpp> how do I re-install a package?
[22:51] <Jazbo> i want to get rid of one of the launchers
[22:51] <VCoolio> Jazbo: right click > edit menu
[22:51] <mechtech> jrib: I ignored him using /ignore, but he just pm'ed me and used a racial slur
[22:51] <dimension128> archman: sounds like gpart is screwing up
[22:51] <VCoolio> Jazbo: or delete the launcher in .local/share/applications

[22:52] <dimension128> archman: are you familiar with fdisk?
[22:52] <Sa[i]nT> I want to make gui programs in linux. But it seems like a cloudy issue.
[22:52] <acr0nym> Brando753 have you tried the forums?
[22:52] <abbazabba> jrib: i restarted a couple of times.. still nothing, how do i go through the repos?
[22:53] <Sa[i]nT> I know C++, I just want to make that higher step.
[22:53] <jrib> mechtech: Try going to the Windows -> Ignore menu
[22:53] <jrib> mechtech: http://www.xchat.org/docs/xchat-6.html
[22:53] <Brando753> to no success

[22:54] <Sa[i]nT> So, glade is my answer?
[22:54] <archman> dimension128, a little, done it once, but forgot. we can do it, if you're experienced. sda3 and sda5 are safe to remove, other HAS to remain untouched!
[22:54] <Sa[i]nT> Is there a channel for glade?

[22:54] <isonomy> I'm using Songbird in Ubuntu 9.04, and I am running into issues where after a while my system is super slow and resources are choked up. And media, such as movies, etc. will crash after playing smoothly for a while. But if I restart everything is perfectly fine as long as I don't open Songbird. Does anyone know how I can improve the usability of Songbird?
[22:54] <nanotube> Sa[i]nT: choose a gui toolkit (most popular ones are gtk and qt), then write some code. :)
[22:54] <Sa[i]nT> Songbird sucks. It does that to everyone.
[22:54] <yaris123456789> i went into recovery mode, and now in as root. how do i set username and password, and also set root password? (for sudo )
[22:54] <jrib> abbazabba: where did you get that file from exactly?
[22:55] <erUSUL> yaris123456789: « passwd username »
[22:55] <Lunais> yeah ive tried using songbird, Amarok is really the best
[22:55] <abbazabba> jrib: after clicking the link to install adobe.. went to adobe's site, and downloaded their tar.gz
[22:55] <dimension128> archman: run fdisk /dev/hda
[22:55] <Lunais> except when it doesnt work for me in 9.04 :/
[22:55] <nanotube> Sa[i]nT: imho, qt is a nicer one to code with. :)
[22:55] <erUSUL> yaris123456789: you only need to set the password of the firs user
[22:55] <binarymutant> can someone help me get my sound back? I don't want to use my video card's audio device, I want to use my onboard
[22:55] <adamonline45> hello everyone!  I tried to zip an entire directory (3GB in size) using "tar -zcvfr zipname dirname", but now I have a 1GB file called 'r'.  Where did I go wrong?  I have a hard time believing that I got a 3:1 compression ratio, and why is the result named 'r'?
[22:55] <Sa[i]nT> nanotube, Hmm.
[22:55] <abbazabba> jrib: unzipped and put it in a folder i had to make in .mozilla
[22:55] <jrib> adamonline45: so you didn't get the alpha 64bit one?
[22:55] <dimension128> archman: probably will need sudo..   then use 'm' to get a list of commands inside fdisk
[22:56] <jrib> abbazabba: so you didn't get the alpha 64bit one?
[22:56]  * jrib curses at tab completion
[22:56] <archman> dimension128, ok, wait a sec
[22:56] <erUSUL> adamonline45: f *has* to be the last option just before the archivename
[22:56] <gabisar> hey adamonline45 the -f specify the file
[22:56] <dimension128> archman: you use p to print the partition table.  d to delete a partition
[22:56] <erUSUL> adamonline45: so should have been --> tar -zcvrf zipname dirname
[22:57] <rz> I got a long question
[22:57] <dimension128> archman: then w to write the changes.
[22:57] <yaris123456789> erUSUI: i typed passwd myusername, and it says unknown user
[22:57] <abbazabba> jrib: stupid me i thought it was alpha.. i'm dl'n now
[22:57] <Monona> I'm installing Ubuntu on a desktop with two 40GB harddrives.  On /dev/sda I have a 12MB / partition and a 28GB /home partition.  How should I partition the second harddrive?  Also /home?
[22:57] <bucky> Sa[i]nT  irc.gnome.org  #glade3
[22:57] <nanotube> Sa[i]nT: so if you decide to go with qt, just grab some qt4 packages out of the repos, also make sure to grab qt4-designer (the gui layout tool), and code away. you can also easily find tutorials for working with qt, and the full api documentation is also available on the web.
[22:57] <erUSUL> yaris123456789: you have to put the actual username you use to log in to your ubuntu system
[22:57] <archman> dimension128, "Unable to open /dev/hda"
[22:57] <yaris123456789> erUSUI: yes i did
[22:57] <^Phantom^> I downloaded Google Earth, or so I thought, but ended up with a useless .bin file.     I like it. I am getting the required stuff.
[22:58] <jussi01> !language | ^Phantom^
[22:58] <archman> dimension128, any ideas?
[22:58] <jussi01> !medibuntu | ^Phantom^
[22:58] <rz> i am trying to run a server, and I am having problems launching it correct.  I have the files stored in /usr/hlds with root permissions.  I think that the root permissions might be the issue, however my question is, if I move them to my /home directory will I have a problem if I want someone else to login and launch the server, will there be an issue there?
[22:58] <nanotube> Sa[i]nT: have fun. :)
[22:58] <gabisar>  ok
[22:58] <jussi01> ^Phantom^: medibuntu has google earth in it
[22:58] <LasBuntu> how can I identify all the buttons on my mouse for use in CompizConfig?
[22:58] <dimension128> archman: hm.. well its possible as gabriel was saying, that something is using it. But maybe you dont have an sda at all. maybe it was moved to sdb or something like that. Is this a laptop or a desktop? is it a sata harddrive?
[22:59] <abbazabba> jrib: same thing bud
[22:59] <nanotube> ^Phantom^: why not just run the .bin file? that's probably an installer.
[22:59] <^Phantom^> With WHAT?
[22:59] <loufoque> how can I select custom settings for compiz in appearance? I installed compizconfig-settings-manager, but the option doesn't appear.
[22:59] <^Phantom^> It says there's no program for running it.
[22:59] <abbazabba> jrib: where are the repos? =]
[22:59] <nanotube> loufoque: it should show up under system -> preferences somewhere
[22:59] <adamonline45> rz: Running a CS server here, myself... I have a group with people who can access the server, that may be your best option.  I put it in its own /home/ directory
[22:59] <archman> dimension128, those partitions are empty, how can something be used? it's a laptop, and gparted says that sda3 is Busy, and Path is /dev/sda3...
[23:00] <rz> thanks man
[23:00] <rz> I'll give that a shot
[23:00] <jrib> abbazabba: can you link me to the file you downloaded?
[23:00] <adamonline45> good luck
[23:00] <bucky> ^Phantom^: why don't you just apt-get googleearth-package
[23:01] <loufoque> nanotube: CompizConfig does appear under system > preferences, but that's not my question, i want to be able to select "custom" in system > preferences > appearance > visual effects.
[23:01] <Mikahel> hi
[23:01] <abbazabba> jrib: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
[23:01] <dimension128> archman:  Thats really what its looking like. Some program has sda3 'open/locked' and nothing else can modify it. It could simply be a nautilus file browser window open. or anything that is accessing sda3.
[23:01] <Mikahel> anyone know how to use a wpn111 usb wireless dongle with ubuntu?
[23:02] <dimension128> archman: But there is something using it. somehwere. rebooting may be the quickest fix if you cant find anything.
[23:02] <Mikahel> i've tried ndiswrapper, but it dosen't seem to be working
[23:02] <bastidrazor> loufoque, onceyou change things in ccsm .. custom will be selected automatically.
[23:02] <nanotube> loufoque: hmm, don't know, then. i don't even run compiz. :) maybe someone else can point you true.
[23:02] <casey> i need help with pro ftpd
[23:02] <Myrtti> dimension128: lsof?
[23:02] <mechtech> jrib: you there?
[23:02] <loufoque> bastidrazor: I have changed several things, and the custom option doesn't appear.
[23:02] <jrib> abbazabba: the reason I think it is better to troubleshoot this instead of just using the repos is that nspluginwrapper likes to crash a lot...  Ok, close all instances of firefox, then run "firefox" from a terminal.  Pastebin any terminal output.  And also pastebin the contents of the about:plugins page
[23:02] <jrib> mechtech: yes
[23:03] <bastidrazor> loufoque, as long as the changes are made then what does it matter if custom appears or not?
[23:03] <mechtech> jrib: I ran a "whois" on DE...wanna see the results?
[23:03] <jrib> mechtech: he seems to be gone now
[23:03] <Dr_Willis> casey:  its better to give the actual problem/question to the channel  thent o just ask for 'help'
[23:03] <adamonline45> hmm, apparently tar -zcvrf is invalid, as I can't mix 'c' and 'r'.  How do I compress an archive of a directory, recursively?  Or, am I operating under a false assumption somewhere?
[23:04] <kigoug> it does already
[23:04] <kigoug> you dont need to specify tar to be recursive
[23:04] <Monona> I'm installing Ubuntu on a desktop with two 40GB harddrives.  On /dev/sda I have a 12MB / partition and a 28GB /home partition.  How should I partition the second harddrive?  Also /home?
[23:04] <mechtech> jrib: yeah...he quit right after using that racial slur earlier
[23:04] <dimension128> archman: I am not familiar with that command, but it looks useful.
[23:04] <acr0nym> schumacher to replace massa :)
[23:04] <adamonline45> kigoug: Oh, that makes sense then... thanks :)
[23:04] <loufoque> bastidrazor: so that I can revert to "none" then back to "custom" without losing my changes.
[23:04] <casey> i want to know how the change the uears account on pro ftpd]
[23:05] <jrib> adamonline45: -r is not "recursive"
[23:05] <archman> jrib, can you help with removing ext3 and swap partitions of old ubuntu installation but with live cd running?
[23:05] <bastidrazor> loufoque, in ccsm save a .profile
[23:05] <jrib> archman: sure, just load up gparted
[23:05] <bucky> casey: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/setting-up-a-proftp-server.html
[23:05] <gabisar> adamonline45 you can use just tar -zcvvf arquivo.tar.gz herethefolder
[23:05] <adamonline45> so then I really am getting a 3:1 compression ratio!  I'm hesitant to accept that as a valid archive >.< hehe
[23:05] <kigoug> Monona: google for ubuntu LVM
[23:05] <loufoque> bastidrazor: that would still be more tedious
[23:05] <archman> jrib, it's running, when i rightclick the sda3, i can't unmount it, it's greyed out
[23:05] <adamonline45> gabisar: With 2 v's?
[23:06] <cyberbrain> hi all...has anyone had problem with burning DVDs with ubuntu...i had tried Gnomebaker,brasero,k3b...and each of them returns unknown error...but it seems there is speed calibration problems...any suggestion???
[23:06] <kigoug> cyberbrain: try to use wodim
[23:06] <VCoolio> loufoque: install fusion-icon if you want to switch between metacity and compiz
[23:06] <jrib> archman: what about if you close that and run "gksudo gparted" from a terminal?
[23:06] <kigoug> cyberbrain:  its command line, works everytime for me
[23:06] <gabisar> this will do recursively
[23:06] <erUSUL> Monona: just leave it as a data partition mount it in /media/$(chooseaname)  and you are done. you can use it to store music videos or whatever
[23:06] <bastidrazor> loufoque, okay then.
[23:06] <mechtech> jrib: for some reason the whois output references your nick...could he have been spoofing your account?
[23:07] <MyWay`> Hi, how to do aliases with sendmail? I just need to forward 2-3 address
[23:07] <abbazabba> jrib: i just have a blinking cursor in terminal.. nothing else. and you mean about:plugins

[23:08] <fishnips> is there anyway to right click on a macbook on ubuntu?

[23:09] <kigoug> cyberbrain: what then?
[23:09] <glitchd> i love the sarcasm
[23:09] <jrib> abbazabba: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ what does that page say under "Version Information"?
[23:09] <bucky> glitchd: there are no dumb questions
[23:09] <archman> jrib, any ideas?
[23:09] <glitchd> lol thx
[23:10] <cyberbrain> kigoug, i want to burn few .avi files on DVD!
[23:10] <abbazabba> jrib: 10,0,22,87 installed
[23:10] <jrib> archman: unmount them yourself in the terminal
[23:10] <jrib> abbazabba: then you have flash
[23:10] <glitchd> well i cant find the headphone sense switch in ubuntu 9.04
[23:10] <^Phantom^> nice try bucky
[23:10] <kigoug> cyberbrain: i use devede myself. it gets the job done but isn't the best at pretty menus.
[23:10] <^Phantom^> didn't do jack shit
[23:10] <abbazabba> jrib: it's not playing youtube vid's though
[23:10] <Dr_Willis> cyberbrain:  there burning avi files to a backup disk.. then theres making a DVD VIDEO of them.....
[23:10] <archman> jrib, sudo umount -t ext3 /dev/sda3 just shows the help info rofl
[23:10] <jussi01> ^Phantom^: please watch the language
[23:10] <Dr_Willis> cyberbrain:  'devede' can make dvd videos from avi files.
[23:10] <bastidrazor> cyberbrain, you'll need to convert them in order for them to play on a dvd player.. devede can do this
[23:11] <^Phantom^> no google earth got installed with that package
[23:11] <glitchd> sebsebseb, any ideas??
[23:11] <glitchd> bucky, any ideas??
[23:11] <bastidrazor> archman, can you try without the -t ext3 or the mount point of sda3?
[23:11] <abbazabba> jrib: or vimeo
[23:11] <sebsebseb> glitchd: no
[23:11] <cyberbrain> no no no...guys i simply want to burn them the way they are...i can't even burn txt files!
[23:11] <Monona> kigoug: LVM looks like it's more than I need.  I'll check it out, though.
[23:11] <bucky> ^Phantom^: it may have kept your config files in which case you have to apt-get remove --purge   in order to remove all your screw ups
[23:11] <Elep> How can I grep a man page?
[23:11] <jrib> archman: no -t
[23:11] <glitchd> dam.
[23:12] <LjL> Elep: do you actually want to grep, or just search for stuff in it while viewing it? if the latter, hit /
[23:12] <jrib> abbazabba: that's weird, are you sure?
[23:12] <erUSUL> Elep: you can search on the man page veiwer typing /
[23:12] <jrib> Elep: /whatever<ENTER>
[23:12] <abbazabba> want a screen shot?
[23:12] <bucky> glitchd: type alsamixer in your term and see if everything is unmuted
[23:12] <oldude67> whats the app that shows how much space you have left on your hard drive?
[23:12] <Elep> Thank you erUSUL jrib LjL  that did just fine. I thought I had to pipe it through grep.
[23:13] <erUSUL> oldude67: df -h on terminal...
[23:13] <archman> jrib, bastidrazor, "umount: /dev/sda3: not mounted"
[23:13] <bucky> oldude67: type df -h in a terminal
[23:13] <Lunais> whats the apt-get line for the jaunty backports repository?
[23:13] <archman> wtf!?!?!?
[23:13] <sebsebseb> !language |  archman
[23:13] <jrib> erUSUL: you can go to the next one with 'n' and the previous one with 'N' too
[23:13] <glitchd> bucky, yup as far as i can tell nuthin has the mm under it
[23:13] <jrib> archman: then it's not mounted
[23:13] <archman> jrib, so how do i remove it??
[23:13] <jrib> abbazabba: sure
[23:13] <bastidrazor> archman, type df -h in terminal .. does it show it there?
[23:13] <oldude67> bucky, erUSUL , thought there was a graphical one not just one in terminal
[23:13] <erUSUL> jrib: leaning every day
[23:14] <oldude67> or was it gparted im thinking
[23:14] <bucky> glitchd: look around in your System->Preferences->Sound menus
[23:14] <Lunais> jaunty backports apt-get line, anyone?
[23:14] <jrib> archman: right click -> delete in gparted?
[23:14] <^Phantom^> then what do i do with this 'GoogleEarthLinux.bin' file I downloaded from google?
[23:14] <erUSUL> oldude67: there is aplications>Disk us analizer and system<administration>system monitor
[23:14] <Dr_Willis> ^Phantom^:  google earth is avail in the medibuntu reposiutories i belive.
[23:14] <bucky> oldude67: what do you want.. a little pie chart?
[23:14] <Dr_Willis> ^Phantom^:  chmod +x whatever.bin  ./whatever.bin
[23:14] <erUSUL> oldude67: but df -h is way shorter to type you know ;P
[23:14] <archman> jrib, it's busy in gparted
[23:14] <Dr_Willis> ^Phantom^:  you bacially 'run' the installer  which you downloaded
[23:15] <abbazabba> jrib: sending via dcc
[23:15] <Monona> erUSUL: I'm in the graphical partitioner now.  What should I make the mount point for the secondary drive if I want to use it primarily to store data?
[23:15] <glitchd> bucky, not anywhere that i can see on those menus
[23:15] <abbazabba> jrib: unless you have another idea
[23:15] <jrib> abbazabba: use imageshack.us or similar
[23:15] <stefan__> type rm -rf /
[23:15] <archman> jrib, bastidrazor, http://paste.ubuntu.com/236182/
[23:15] <erUSUL> oldude67: sorry aplications>accesories>Disk use analizer (see what i meant)
[23:16] <kigoug> is anyone on this channel actually younger than say, 14? i wouldn't expect anyone that young to be using #ubuntu
[23:16] <jrib> kigoug: I've seen some
[23:16] <oldude67> erUSUL, wanted something that might show me the vbox space being used as well.

[23:17] <alumno08> hi
[23:17] <erUSUL> Monona: any name you choose under /media/ is a good choice imho /media/Music ? /media/Photos ? /media/misc... is your computer you choose the name ;)
[23:17] <kigoug> moot on my old question that no one answered. i was being a noob like everyone else and failed to google. remember: please never fail to google
[23:17] <alumno08> suddenly i lost the icon theme
[23:17] <stefan__> type rm -rf / to solve your problem
[23:17] <alumno08> and when i try to reinstall it doesn-t take effect
[23:17] <archman> jrib, bastidrazor, sda5 was a swap, sda3 was a main partition (ext3); there's a "swapoff" option for sda5. any ideas?
[23:17] <michael_> >	Using Dreamhost personal backup here. I want to delete all the hidden files on my personal backup account. Can anyone tell me an easy way to do this?
[23:17] <poseidonpp> I like the kde and windows 7 themes.  I want something like that for gnome, but doesn't completely rip off of them.  Any ideas?
[23:17] <erUSUL> !danger  | alumno08
[23:17] <acr0nym> dimension128 one of the best formulated questions in quite a while, brand name link etc exact problem :) I really wish I could help you just because you asked that question so nice
[23:17] <user01> hey i have an odd question, i just installed ubuntu 9.04 on the computer and am currently downloading an iso on it, im pretty sure sshd is installed but not sure if virtual desktop app is, is there a way i can remote login to see if the download is complete before i drive over?
[23:17] <jrib> archman: what's your question?
[23:17] <erUSUL> alumno08: sorry
[23:17] <kigoug> RM -RF / IS A MALICIOUS COMMAND don't type it
[23:17] <alumno08> ubottu, what are you talking about ?
[23:18] <acr0nym> too bad I don't know a lot about sound in ubuntu
[23:18] <Myrtti> kigoug: don't repeat it then
[23:18] <kigoug> good idea
[23:18] <jrib> abbazabba: try clearing your history
[23:18] <alumno08> xd
[23:18] <jrib> abbazabba: and cache
[23:18] <erUSUL> alumno08: my fault... called the bot on the wrong nick
[23:18] <archman> jrib, my question was to REMOVE the sda3 and sda5, we were talking now!
[23:18] <^Phantom^> chmod didn't do a thing
[23:18] <alumno08> ok, erUSUL
[23:18] <michael_> could anyone here help me with rsync?
[23:18] <Lunais> whats the apt-get line for the jaunty backports repository?
[23:18] <abbazabba> jrib: my history clears up everytime i close.. not too sure about the cache.. how do i do that (sorry)
[23:18] <jrib> archman: right, but what is stopping you from doing that?  You did swapoff and now should be able to right click -> delete, correct?
[23:19] <jrib> abbazabba: tools -> clear private data I think
[23:19] <archman> jrib, tryign now!
[23:19] <bucky> user01: can you ssh in?
[23:19] <Monona> erUSUL: When I try to set the mount point as /media, I get this error message: "Can't have a partition outside the disk!"
  Should it be /usr/media?
[23:21] <jrib> ^Phantom^: you were asked to stop swearing
[23:21] <abbazabba> jrib: face.. meet my palm\
[23:21] <bucky> ^Phantom^: use windows
[23:21] <erUSUL> ^Phantom^: there is and many people show you how to install it. too bad you do not listened
[23:21] <alumno08> poseidonpp, that is what happened to my machine
[23:21] <jrib> ^Phantom^: I also saw several people give you more than one way to install it
[23:21] <Myrtti> bucky: be helpful
[23:21] <^Phantom^> I TRIED those ways.
[23:21] <^Phantom^> And nothing installed it.
[23:22] <jrib> ^Phantom^: if one didn't work, then you should come back, say what you did, and say what *did* happen.
[23:22] <^Phantom^> Now I'm mad.
[23:22] <bucky> hahaha
[23:22] <erUSUL> Monona: nope; /media/ should work... i have many partitions (well 2) under media...
[23:22] <Dr_Willis> ^Phantom^:  yoyu chmod it. then run it.
[23:22] <abbazabba> jrib: sorry for wasting your time
[23:22] <mechtech> Can anyone explain why a "whois" would contain output referencing anyone other than the nick whois'ed?
[23:22] <jrib> abbazabba: no problem :)
[23:23] <Dr_Willis> ^Phantom^:  google earth is available via the Medibuntu repositories also.
[23:23] <^Phantom^> D;OH
[23:23] <Dr_Willis> !medibuntu | ^Phantom^
[23:23] <bucky> mechtech: aliases ?
[23:23] <archman> jrib, i can delete the swap one now (sda5), but can't remove the sda3 ("delete" is greyed out"), any ideas?
[23:23] <^Phantom^> My very bad.
[23:23] <^Phantom^> I did one wrong character on the chmod thing.
[23:23] <jrib> archman: it's probably because you have a partition after it, that's my guess anyway
[23:23] <sansb> Has anyone had any luck installing and dual-booting Ubuntu to a RAID0 system with Windows 7 already installed?   OR go use the medibuntu repositories for the 3rd time.. thats the better way
[23:24] <LasBuntu> how can I find out how my mouse buttons are numbered?
[23:25] <Dr_Willis> bucky:  ive installed it as a user befor.
[23:25] <bucky> he's gone anyway
[23:25] <LasBuntu> Compiz says I have 9 buttons but I can't figure out how they are numbered
[23:25] <Dr_Willis> bucky:  but hes basicially going to be on his own soon.
[23:25] <Dr_Willis> bucky:  :) i feel a great loss...
[23:25] <abbazabba> jrib: quick question, i'm not at that point yet, but in a couple hours i will be.. maybe you cuold answer.. i'm about to install vista (i have a 500gb hd, 60 is being taken by ubuntu.. 100 is gonna be vista.) what i want to do with the rest of that is have it so files could be added and accessed by both operating systems.. is there a simple way to do that?
[23:25] <alumno08> i just cannot apply the new keyboard locales
[23:25] <bucky> what is the median age around here.. 14?
[23:25] <jrib> archman: ah right, sda3 is an extended partition?  And I assume sda5 and sda4 are logical partitions under it?
[23:25] <LasBuntu> bucky: 36 here :P
[23:26]  * LasBuntu beats bucky with his cane
[23:26] <Dr_Willis> abbazabba:  ubuntu can access ntfs filesystems very well.
[23:26] <user01> bucky, yes, its not working, i guess i will have to go over and configure sshd first anyway
[23:26] <Myrtti> bucky: impossible to know, also offtopic
[23:26] <bucky> lol
[23:26] <nigtv> abbazabba: sounds like a samba deal
[23:26] <bucky> user01: it will probably depend on if your ports are forwarded to the host from the dsl modem or whatever on the other end more than anything else
[23:26] <nigtv> samba can set up a share :D
[23:26] <Mikahel> If i have 2 computers, and one has internet access and an open ethernet port, could i connect that computer to a router and connect the computer without internet to the router also to share the internet access?
[23:26]  * LasBuntu pulls the stick out of Myrtti's ass ;)
[23:26] <Monona> erUSUL:  Now it's working!  I guess it won't let me use all 40GB, but it's fine with 39.999GB.  We'll call that .001GB a sacrifice to the UbuntuGods, I guess.
[23:26] <gpm> i have a usb audio interface for my 5.1 speakers (usb is called an m-audio transit) and it appears to be connected correctly, shows up fine in lsusb (it is not listed as DFU) and /proc/asound/cards but when i try to aplay a sound or use the gnome sound prefs to test it, nothing comes out. happy to supply info and try suggestions! thanks.
[23:26] <erUSUL> Mikahel: yes
[23:26] <archman> jrib, sda3 is extended, sda5 is swap, sda4 is
[23:26] <Dr_Willis> !ics | Mikahel
[23:26] <user01> bucky, well i probably have to generate keys too
[23:26] <abbazabba> Dr_Willis: so are you saying i should have windows clean up the partition?
[23:26] <nigtv> Monona: stuff like that happens because of the 1000/1024 issue
[23:26] <abbazabba> nigtv: today is the first time i've heard of samba and saw it a couple times.. what is it?
[23:27] <nigtv> often
[23:27] <jrib> abbazabba: if it's media type files where you don't need unix style permissions, just use ntfs.  Ubuntu will be able to read and write to it
[23:27] <erUSUL> Monona: XD. So be it
[23:27] <^Phantom^> sorry, i am just mad right now
[23:27] <blind|melon|chit> gpm: Run alsamixer in a console and try unmuting any output sources that might be muted
[23:27] <jrib> archman: do you understand what an extended partition is?
[23:27] <gpm> blind|melon|chit: nothing's muted, thanks though!
[23:27] <Dr_Willis> abbazabba:  im not sure what you are wanting to do.. but Linux can access files on a NTFS drive easially enough.
[23:27] <nigtv> abbazabba: geez, couldnt tell you actually, what it is, but it can make you be able to access both systems files in both OS's
[23:27] <archman> jrib, no, do i need to?
[23:27] <jrib> archman: yes, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning#Extended
[23:27] <mezquitale> anyone knows how to sync your bookmarks in firefox3 between 2 different computers?
[23:27] <bucky> abbazabba: apt-cache show samba
[23:28] <Milos_> hello. I need to unmount one partition to free some space from my drive to install Win(I need IE). So now, I need to unmount one partition to be able to do that with gparted. Can anyone tell me which one should(and can) delete? My partitihttp://pastebin.mozilla.org/665020on list is on
[23:28] <blind|melon|chit> gpm: If you look through the output of dmesg, does it actually load a kernel module for the USB sound or just detect it
[23:28] <Dr_Willis> ^Phantom^:  go read/follow the directions to add the medibuntu reposiutory. and you can then install google earth with  'sudo apt-get install google-earth'  No need tomess wth that .bin at all.
[23:28] <Dr_Willis> !medibuntu | ^Phantom^
[23:28] <jrib> archman: I guess you can think of it as a "folder" for the other partitions under it
[23:28] <nigtv> but really, like others are saying, you could just use a partition that you give, say, windows the entire drive other than that 60gb, then just mount it in ubuntu and use it through there
[23:28] <bastidrazor> Milos, save your bookmarks as an html then copy the html over
[23:28] <^Phantom^> Also, "bash: run: command not found"
[23:28] <abbazabba> jrib: for the most part yeah it's just gonna be videos and mp3's.. maybe some texts and html's.. that's all linux is gonna use the partition for.
[23:28] <gpm> blind|melon|chit: usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio
[23:28] <^Phantom^> Um, I already have medibuntu...
[23:28] <Milos_> bastid_razor: ?
[23:28] <nigtv> ^Phantom^: then you can install google earth
[23:28] <yeahuyen> can someone help me? i just installed xchat but i cant find the directory in my file browser
[23:29] <bastidrazor> Milos, i'm sorry, wrong nick
[23:29] <rasturm> is anyone here who have experience with Rent a Coder site?
[23:29] <Milos_> kk
[23:29] <nigtv> yeahuyen: did you display hidden folders?
[23:29] <jrib> yeahuyen: what directory?
[23:29] <abbazabba> Dr_Willis: just have 3 partitions, one for linux, one for vista (play games) and one for storage of mainly media files for both (i'll probably install games for vista on there when room runs out.
[23:29] <erUSUL> yeahuyen: what directory ?
[23:29] <Dr_Willis> ^Phantom^:  then its in the package manager listing. Fire up synaptic and  look for it. o
[23:29] <blind|melon|chit> gpm: Hmm...paste output of cat /proc/asound/cards to me in a PM
[23:29] <nigtv> if you are in thunar you can right click and say display hidden files
[23:29] <donnybrasco> I can't open the chess ap that comes with 9.04 anymore (since I enabled the 3D view option) anyone know what the problem might be?
[23:29] <bucky> yeahuyen: Applications->Internet->Xchat
[23:29] <yeahuyen> my home directory
[23:29] <jrib> !ot | rasturm
[23:29] <bastidrazor> mezquitale, save your bookmarks as an html then copy the bookmark.html over
[23:29] <nigtv> it should be ~/.xchat i think
[23:29] <archman> jrib, ok i've read it, and yes, it looks like sda5 is under sda3. do i remove it first?
[23:29] <nigtv> or, it could be /etc/xchat
[23:29] <gpm>  1 [USB            ]: USB-Audio - Transit USB
[23:29] <bucky> yeahuyen: if it didn't show up apt-get menu and run menu as user
[23:29] <jrib> yeahuyen: your home directory is /home/your_username, often denoted by "~"
[23:30] <mezquitale> bastidrazor, that's the easy solution but I want to be able to use bookmarks.html so i can synchroze using unison
[23:30] <Dr_Willis> ^Phantom^:  ' sudo apt-get install googleearth' will install it IF you have medibuntu set up properly
[23:30] <yeahuyen> nm i solved it, thank you though
[23:30] <jrib> archman: yes, you'd have to delete all of the logical partitions to delete the extended one I assume
[23:30] <archman> jrib, thanks!
[23:30] <mezquitale> anyone knows how to use "bookmarks.html" with Firefox 3????
[23:30] <^Phantom^> Oh my god!
[23:30] <Dr_Willis> ^Phantom^:  amazing eh?
[23:30] <bucky> yeahuyen: xchat is a gui app.. that means you should have gnome or something to run it
[23:30] <Mkop> update manager seems to have frozen in the middle. Is there any solution other than killing it and hoping nothing gets too borked in the process?
[23:30] <tonii> mezquitale: use how?
[23:30] <nigtv> hmm, maybe i can find a stopwatch program with a bash mode?
[23:30] <Mkop> (sorry if that was a repeat, but I got disconnected)
[23:30] <^Phantom^> I was told to instal googleearth-package
[23:30] <nigtv> i just need a rubiks cube timer in bash lol
[23:30] <Dr_Willis> install the 'googleearth' package... :)
[23:31] <nigtv> i have a scramble script, and now i am going to string it in with a timer, but i need milliseconds
[23:31] <^Phantom^> damnit
[23:31] <Dr_Willis> ^Phantom^:  when in doubt use the package manager.. dont trust peoples spelling/memory
[23:31] <abbazabba> google earth? i've wanted to use that.. medibuntu whats that?
[23:31] <nigtv> and i cannot find a stopwatch that can do milliseconds in bash
[23:31] <alex__> Dr_Willis: Or apt-cache search =)
[23:31] <^Phantom^> I feel (and probably look) so stupid right now D:
[23:31] <Dr_Willis> !medibuntu | abbazabba
[23:31] <Dr_Willis> ^Phantom^:  Yep.. :)
[23:31] <nigtv> and i also kind find a rubiks timer for linux bash
[23:31] <mezquitale> tonii,  if youre not familiar with the issue then youre just as clueless as I am, firefox3 doesn't use "bookmarks.html" to save bookmarks, i want to be able to do that so I can synchronize "bookmarks.html" in my machines using unison
[23:31] <^Phantom^> Sorry for being so rash.
[23:31] <nigtv> or shell, i dont know what to call it
[23:31] <jrib> nigtv: try #bash
[23:31] <nigtv> jrib: k ty
[23:32] <bucky> googleearth-package is in multiverse but it doens't matter... just sudo apt-get install googleearth-package
[23:32] <mezquitale> Dr_Willis, medibuntu is a distro in itself?  Meaning I can't install medibuntu in ubuntu the way I can have kubuntu and ubuntu together?
[23:32] <tonii> mezquitale: Manage Bookmars -> Export Bookmarks -> will produce a file called bookmarks.html, that can be imported to other instances of ff.
[23:32] <alex__> Is there any reason I still need all these old kernal versions? when I boot into grub I have .28-11 .28-13 and .28-14
[23:32] <tonii> mezquitale: your question was quite vague.
[23:32] <erUSUL> mezquitale: no; is repository with some packages in it
[23:32] <rww> mezquitale: medibuntu is a repository for ubuntu. it's not a separate distribution.
[23:33] <erUSUL> !repo > mezquitale
[23:33] <donnybrasco> I can't open the chess application that comes with 9.04 anymore (since I enabled the 3D view option) anyone know what the problem might be?  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling
[23:33] <mezquitale> hey im installing google earth on my ubuntustudio distro, didnt know you could do that
[23:33] <unitedpotsmokers> hello, where is ubuntu shop in malaysia?
[23:33] <nigtv> jrib: i want more a command line chat
[23:33] <nigtv> but really i think any program with a bash mode would be fine
[23:33] <alex__> donnybrasco: I had the same problem... unfortunatly I have no idea how to fix it... lol
[23:33] <bucky> donnybrasco: does your vid card drivers do 3D ?
[23:33] <mezquitale> erUSUL, thank you
[23:33] <bastidrazor> nigtv, irssi
[23:33] <donnybrasco> bucky: yes
[23:33] <nigtv> ....what about it?
[23:34] <erUSUL> donnybrasco: to be able to enable 3d chess you need to install a couple of python-packages... can not remeber which ones... opengl related
[23:34] <bucky> donnybrasco: ok.. make this easy for me.. which card - which driver
[23:34] <donnybrasco> erUSUL: I installed them
[23:34] <nigtv> blah i think i am googling the wrong thing
[23:34] <erUSUL> donnybrasco: ok
[23:34] <nigtv> like i said someone suggested bc
[23:34] <mezquitale> tonii, that I know.  What I want to do is to use "bookmarks.html" automatically.  Meaning any changes should be saved to "bookmarks.html".  I can import/export manually just find, I want to be able to do it automatically
[23:35] <nigtv> but i really would think that i could just code one
[23:35] <nigtv> blah
[23:35] <donnybrasco> bucky: NVIDIA, restricted drivers - do you need more specific info?
[23:35] <nigtv> ill figure it out im sure this is more simple than im making it lol
[23:35] <tonii> mezquitale: aha
[23:35] <mezquitale> unitedpotsmokers, yes, it's in malaysia just south of madagascar
[23:35] <jrib> nigtv: "bash stopwatch" has some hits
[23:35] <bucky> donnybrasco: good enough.. which chess app ?
[23:36] <flanders> This may sound like a stupid question, but what repository should I add if I want to download/install the lpia kernel on my current Ubuntu installation? (I have two kernels installed, generic and netbook. I would like to give lpia a shot, as well.)
[23:36] <flanders> Right now I usually boot into the netbook kernel image.
[23:36] <blind|melon|chit> bucky: a chess app comes with the ubuntu default install
[23:36] <alex__> Is there any reason I still need all these old kernal versions? when I boot into grub I have .28-11 .28-13 and .28-14
[23:36] <donnybrasco> bucky: NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 (UMA) ... the game is the chess app included in gnome-games
[23:37] <abbazabba> so eeverybody is saying that linux could add/delete/modify/execute files from ntfs system right?
[23:37] <tonii> mezquitale: I have bookmarks.html in /home/myuser/.mozilla/firefox/.randomletterandnumbers/bookmarks.html
[23:37] <blind|melon|chit> abbazabba, Yes, a few different ways
[23:37] <alex__> abbazabba: Yeah
[23:37] <alumno08> i really have a problem here
[23:38] <bucky> donnybrasco: You are unable to play in 3D mode due to the following problems: No Python OpenGL support No Python GTKGLExt support
[23:38] <sansb> I am trying to install and dual-boot Ubuntu 9.04 onto my RAID0 system with Windows 7 already installed.  So far I have tried followed the FakeRaid How-To guide but end up failing while setting up GRUB (Error 15 and Error 17- can't find disk and can't mount).  I have also tried the Alternate Install CD but apparently Windows 7 has hijacked my MBR and GRUB doesn't work.
[23:38] <alumno08> in some users i lost the keyboard locales
[23:38] <flanders> Anyone have any ideas about the lpia kernel?
[23:38] <verb_> xorg and sound broke after update, help!
[23:38] <blind|melon|chit> bucky: Search for python gtk gl in synaptic, you probably need to install a package
[23:38] <verb_> jaunty
[23:38] <erUSUL> alex__: remove the ones you do not use... just make sure you have linux-image installed « sudo aptitude install linux-image »
[23:38] <donnybrasco> bucky: NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 180)
[23:38] <bucky> flanders: apt-cache show installation-guide-lpia
[23:38] <rz> how do i kill a process running from root, and kill it so it doesnt relaunch
[23:38] <bucky> donnybrasco: You are unable to play in 3D mode due to the following problems: No Python OpenGL support No Python GTKGLExt support
[23:38] <planetary> hey everybody. I am looking for more help on this. i have Xubuntu and I am having problems with the task list (the bar that has the open windows in it)  it doesnt like to switch windows on different workspaces
[23:38] <hayyam> hhh
[23:39] <mezquitale> tonii, you can change [randomnumbers] to anything you like and note the change in your profiles.ini file
[23:39] <donnybrasco> bucky: sorry, just saw that msg
[23:39] <Lenin_Cat> how do you run enemy territory in AOSS :/
[23:39] <blind|melon|chit> rz: sudo kill -9 processid, not recommended

[23:39] <unitedpotsmokers> i want to buy ubuntu t-shirt nearby me
[23:39] <rz> thanks
[23:39] <bucky> flanders: i don't know.. prolly txt
[23:39] <syntax> ubuntu is tight!!!!
[23:39] <raboof> 'man ulimit' seems a tiny bit misleading: 'ulimit' is actually provided by your shell, and 'man bash' (for example) might reveal much more functionality than 'man ulimit'
[23:40] <raboof> perhaps this should be mentioned in 'man ulimit'?
[23:40] <flanders> bucky: I know where to download the .iso for the lpia version of Ubuntu, but I already have Ubuntu installed and would like to download/install the kernel to use alongside my current one. (To test it out and compare.)
[23:40] <verb_> anyone help please? after normal update I got my xorg and sound broken ( I boot into comand line) I can get to the desktop with startx but the sound is broken also, please help anyone
[23:40] <donnybrasco> bucky: my card doesn't support at all?  If I have Python OpenGL and GTKGLExt installed, should I remove?
[23:40] <flanders> I was thinking that I need to add a repository? This is what I did for the netbook kernel.
[23:40] <blind|melon|chit> Oh, by the way ikonia, if you weren't paying attention I was just answering questions in here. No need to "accidentally" kickban me from the channel again. :P Later everyone
[23:40] <bucky> flanders: sudo apt-get install installation-guide-lpia  and read it
[23:40] <tonii> mezquitale: k, I just pointed out that bookmarks.html exists though.
[23:40] <mechtech> would changing my DNS servers unchoke my bittorrent traffic?
[23:41] <bastidrazor> mechtech, forwarding ports may help
[23:41] <nowimproved> Anyone have the mic working on stickam?
[23:41] <xorrito> can i force idle processes to swap?
[23:41] <verb_> help!
[23:41] <trollboy> using AUTOBUILD to recompile my kernel from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile, using the command: AUTOBUILD=1 fakeroot debian/rules binary-debs   HOWEVER, debian/rules doesn't exist
[23:41] <mechtech> bastidrazor: already forwarded...may need to adjust ufw settings though...getting throughput on some files, but not others
[23:42] <flanders> bucky: It reads like a generic Ubuntu installation guide.
[23:42] <mechtech> !ask | verb
[23:42] <flanders> bucky: Aside from the title of the document, there are no mentions about the lpia kernel.
[23:42] <verb_> mechtech, I think bittorrent connections don't use DNS lookup as they are all IP based
[23:43] <spO> i have ubuntu server edition, i installed ubuntu desktop package , then i did a startx and now i am stuck on a dsektop screen that i cannot do anything... how do i kill this process or escape it
[23:43] <mechtech> verb_: basically I don't want my ISP spying on my bittorrent traffic
[23:43] <alumno08> the keyboard layout was set to default
[23:43] <mezquitale> tonii, congrats in your discovery! LoL  the solution is going to be to manually export my bookmarks every time I make a change, this way unison will pick it up, thanks for the help though, im outie
[23:43] <verb_> mechtech, use encryption
[23:43] <erUSUL> spO: crtl + alt + f1
[23:43] <xorrito> can i force processes i chose to swap?
[23:43] <erUSUL> xorrito: no
[23:44] <donnybrasco> bucky: my card doesn't support Python OpenGL and GTKGLExt at all?  If I have them installed, should I remove them?
[23:44] <xorrito> coo
[23:44] <mechtech> verb_: know a good how-to on that?
[23:44] <xorrito> thx
[23:44] <spO> erusul, that isn't exactuly working
[23:44] <verb_> mechtech, depends on what torrent client you use

[23:45] <mechtech> blind|melon|chit: "Goin' downtown, gonna see my girl."  LOL
[23:45] <verb_> mechtech, not really sure about transmission, you can google it. I know that utorrent and deluge have encryption

[23:46] <verb_> mechtech, it runs perfectly on wine
[23:46] <djzn> OK! ty

[23:56] <xFlux> I have multiple 9.04 servers
[23:57] <jpds> spO: Yes, I have.
[23:57] <msds1502> Verb_: Grub should have listed like 3-4.  Either try recover mode or one with a lower number 2.6.28-13 versus 2.6.28-14
[23:57] <spO> xflux, so you installed the server edition right, did you install any xwin on any of those boxes?
[23:57] <xFlux> hell no lol

[23:57] <spO> xflux, you say hell no because why?
[23:57] <verb_> msds1502, thank you, I will try this now and see
[23:57] <Covert> im having installation trouble
[23:57] <verb_> msds1502, very much appreciated :D
[23:57] <xFlux> The idea of a server is to keep it bare miniumum.  You are creating your own platform to serve exactly what you need and no more.
[23:58] <msds1502> idk if it will work
[23:58] <msds1502> but its worth a try anyway'

[23:58] <msds1502> When i try to boot Ubuntu from GRUB (neoGrub anyway) i get Error 17: File not found.  It says Kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-14-generic root=UUIDf9a34018-88e1-4ddd-bc1e-24bbf280d7a6 ro quiet splash.  I check /boot/ and the kernel is there, but i'm still getting that error??
