[01:56] <susanna777> arvind_khadri, just where i boot windows and have my c drive and stuff
[01:56] <wil> so im having this problem in hardy where the shutdown menu appears randomly? click cancel makes it go away sometimes, other times it wont go away until i restart? has anyone had this problem?
[01:56] <tanath> jehoo, clip? elastic? twist tie?
[01:57] <vincenzofehring> IndyGunFreak: the pastebin link is http://paste.ubuntu.com/9892/
[01:57] <andi5> so some messages randomly appear over and over again... how can i make that stop?
[01:57] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, ok so where is that partition loaded onto
[01:57] <susanna777> arvind_khadri, what do you mean
[01:57] <jehoo> tanath ... isnt there nothing that will exhaust it right out back ?
[01:57] <frederic> I guess I have to ask someone else ...
[01:57] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, the windows partition where is that mounted
[01:57] <tanath> jehoo, ?
[01:58] <Fa> ugh firefox
[01:58] <tanath> frederic, you can browse the repository with a web browser...
[01:58] <andi5> arvind_khadri: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9884/ , assuming it is still correct
[01:58] <susanna777> arvind_khadri,  i don't know it's called dev/sda/2
[01:58] <Dysk> Hmm, bizarre, I've got a pidgin process that's eating up 100% CPU and 1GB of memory, and it doesn't die with kill -9
[01:58] <jehoo> tanath - just something that will create a pipe between the HD fan and the back of the case ... and create a shell around it ... or do most people just twist tie ?
[01:58] <tony55> sus [2nd]Stepis windows mounted on sda1?
[01:58] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, ok how did you figure that out
[01:58] <susanna777> windows is on sda2
[01:58] <tanath> jehoo, i usually see wires bundled with a clip
[01:59] <susanna777> arvind_khadri, figure what out?
[01:59] <KindOne> I have just upgraded to Xubuntu 8.04 from version 7.10, I can no longer see my second 120 gb har drive, even though it shows up in gparted... What should I do ??
[01:59] <eeh_rik> hi, im back :(
[01:59] <akh3n4t0n> arvind_khadri, you can "mount|grep fuseblk" to view the windows partitions mounted
[01:59] <jehoo> tanath clip as in twist tie ?
[01:59] <eeh_rik> tried hard and harder
[01:59] <tanath> jehoo, no, like a plastic clip...
[01:59] <macd> vincenzofehring, edit your xorg config file, and change the refresh
[01:59] <arvind_khadri> andi5, susanna777 says she has six partition cant see anything else that root
[01:59] <macd> vincenzofehring, to  HorizSync       36-52        VertRefresh     36-60
[01:59] <tanath> jehoo, in store bought computers anyway
[02:00] <arvind_khadri> akh3n4t0n, susanna777 not me :)
[02:00] <macd> vincenzofehring, then you should be able to go upto 1024.768
[02:00] <tony55> susanna777, whats on sda1?
[02:00] <toyo|desk> what is the name of the svn client CLI package?
[02:00] <jehoo> tanath thanks ill look into it
[02:00] <vincenzofehring> okay, well, it sayd that the xorg config file doesn't exist
[02:00] <andi5> arvind_khadri: well, i did not paste that :)
[02:00] <akh3n4t0n> arvind_khadri, sorry :)
[02:00] <tanath> jehoo, but really, whatever works...
[02:00] <Dysk> Any ideas how to kill a process if kill -9 doesn't do it?
[02:00] <susanna777> tony55 it's just called fat16
[02:00] <frederic> tamath well I tried to check but in this website there is only 3 package (packages.bz2, packages.gz and releases). is this correct ?
[02:00] <Sergeant_Pony> how do I get a drive listing from a console?
[02:00] <Prez00> are hardy bug fixes being pushed out to repositories yet?
[02:00] <emmet> is there an eeepc channel?
[02:00] <andi5> Dysk: does the process belong to you?
[02:00] <tanath> Dysk, try with sudo?
[02:00] <susanna777> tony55 it was already there before i installed linux
[02:00] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, have you right now logged in as a normal user
[02:01] <tanath> Dysk, check if it's a 'zombie process'?
[02:01] <macd> vincenzofehring, did you delete it ?  hit alt+f2 to run gedit, then "gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[02:01] <Dysk> tanath, Tried this
[02:01] <Dysk> andi5, Yes
[02:01] <Mimi> QUESTION:      DISPLAY=:3   ... what does this do? :P Thanks
[02:01] <toyo|desk> anyone
[02:01] <susanna777> arvind_khadri,  yes, i don't know how to log in as root i tried a few times before but it wouldn't let me
[02:01] <vincenzofehring> i forgot to put the X11 in a capital x
[02:01] <eeh_rik> http://pastebin.com/d53847d85 <-- here all i can find
[02:01] <chris127> why is ubuntu soooo popular ?
[02:01] <eeh_rik> tried the modprobe thing too
[02:01] <chris127> the community is so big
[02:01] <susanna777> chris127 because it's cool
[02:01] <KindOne> chris: cause its great, and stable
[02:01] <akh3n4t0n> susanna777, "sudo bash" in a terminal to get a root shell
[02:01] <chris127> i have never seen something like that in open source community
[02:01] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, ok do this sudo mount -a
[02:01] <frederic> tamath well I tried to check but in this website there is only 3 package (packages.bz2, packages.gz and releases). is this correct ?
[02:02] <andi5> Dysk: if it is not a zombie process, using important resources like cpu or memory and cannot be killed with sudo kill -9 , then reboot :)
[02:02] <chris127> lol
[02:02] <tanath> chris127, based on debian, has best community...
[02:02] <coomac> Sergeant_Pony, sudo fdisk -l
[02:02] <vincenzofehring> there is no refresh item in the xorg.conf file
[02:02] <eeh_rik> i really say next time i do this i buy compatible hardware b4.
[02:02] <chris127> if you can sudo bash ... you might as well su - root
[02:02] <tanath> chris127, has funding
[02:02] <wil> so im having this problem in hardy where the shutdown menu appears randomly? click cancel makes it go away sometimes, other times it wont go away until i restart? has anyone had this problem?
[02:02] <chris127> ahh, funding helps
[02:02] <susanna777> akh3n4t0n,  i got in
[02:02] <andi5> chris127: shall we stop talking? :)
[02:02] <arvind_khadri> tanath, not more than ubuntu
[02:02] <chris127> see, I have a new computer
[02:02] <Prez00> chris127: firefox is as popular
[02:02] <chris127> every time i get a new computer and try to put linux on it
[02:02] <chris127> hardware is sooo difficult to install
[02:03] <tanath> chris127, yeah, it's funded by canonical, started by mark shuttleworth. check wikipedia
[02:03] <susanna777> arvind_khadri,  i got in as root
[02:03] <tanath> arvind_khadri, hm?
[02:03] <susanna777> arvind_khadri, do i still type the sudo mount?
[02:03] <andi5> chris127: do you mean hardware or hardware drivers and setup?
[02:03] <Sergeant_Pony> coomac thanks
[02:03] <Dysk> andi5, At this rate it'll probably boot right back up and still be running <grin>
[02:03] <chris127> hardware drivers
[02:03] <chris127> i've alwyas used slackware
[02:03] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, if you are root type mount -a
[02:03] <chris127> i think i need to change to something well... newer
[02:03] <andi5> ouch... without gnome, right? :)
[02:03] <chris127> yeah
[02:03] <chris127> just bourne again shell ;)
[02:03] <tanath> arvind_khadri, not more what?
[02:04] <susanna777> arvind_khadri,  it didn't do anything
[02:04] <CrashPad> is there a way to re-install Ubuntu's USB drivers it doesnt to seem to pickup my usb wireless adapter
[02:04] <vincenzofehring> since the refresh item is not in the xorg.conf file, what do i do?
[02:04] <akh3n4t0n> susanna777, you can inspect /etc/mtab [or type "mount" in a terminal] to view the mounted partitions and their mount points; "sudo mount -a" will mount all your filesystems declared in /etc/fstab
[02:04] <macd> vincenzofehring, under Section Monitor", add it exactly like this:   http://paste.ubuntu.com/9893/
[02:04] <CrashPad> or sometimes stops seing my USB mouse and doesnt pick up USB HDD
[02:04] <frederic> hello. where may I find VLC for hardy heron ? (already done sudo apt-get update and checked /etc/apt/source.list and checked multiverse site (http://ftp.crihan.fr/ubuntu/ hardy )
[02:04] <tanath> CrashPad, reinstall in synaptic?
[02:04] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, ok just type sudo mount -a
[02:04] <KindOne> How can a mount my 2nd hard drive i cant see it ?
[02:04] <macd> vincenzofehring, hey have a lil patience I cant type a million things at once, I didnt forget you
[02:04] <chris127> us ubuntu rpm based ? e.g. can i use yum ?
[02:04] <arvind_khadri> tanath, funding
[02:04] <CrashPad> tanath: Package name?
[02:04] <vincenzofehring> sorry
[02:04] <tanath> arvind_khadri, ubuntu doesn't have more funding than ubuntu?
[02:04] <KindOne> ubuntu is .deb based
[02:04] <susanna777> arvind_khadri,  i did, i don't think it did anything
[02:04] <tanath> arvind_khadri, o.O
[02:05] <andi5> frederic: vlc is actually in multiverse... but why did not you use fr.archive.ubuntu.com?
[02:05] <tanath> CrashPad, not sure, but it has a search feature
[02:05] <eeh_rik> with these 'tailored for winXP/vista' labels everywhere.... they really should be atleast honest and say: minimumcost ripped down hardware inside which wont work easily under real operating systems
[02:05] <eeh_rik> :P
[02:05] <arvind_khadri> tanath, ubuntu has more funding that debain
[02:05] <vincenzofehring> Now that I just changed that file, i have to reboot in order for it to take effect?
[02:05] <tanath> arvind_khadri, i was saying that ubuntu _has_ funding
[02:05] <susanna777> arvind_khadri,  according to gparted, dev/sda2 (windows partiton) doesn't have anything on it and there's an exclamation point next to it
[02:05] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, ok now type mount
[02:05] <Mimi> QUESTION:      DISPLAY=:3   ... what does this do? :P Thanks
[02:05] <macd> vincenzofehring, no, hit "crtl+alt+backspace" then login again
[02:05] <arvind_khadri> tanath, oh ok
[02:05] <wil> so im having this problem in hardy where the shutdown menu appears randomly? click cancel makes it go away sometimes, other times it wont go away until i restart? has anyone had this problem?
[02:05] <zenwryly> I'm going to be moving my personal server from my home DSL line to a hosted server and I'd like to form some projections of my bandwidth usage.  Can anyone suggest what tools I might use to do that?
[02:05] <bennyf12> Hi, Im trying to get MSN webcam support on 8.04, is there any1 that can recommend a program??
[02:05] <frederic> andi5, maybe because I don't know what this is ...
[02:05] <macd> Mimi, in what context?
[02:05] <vincenzofehring> that sould correct the problem now?
[02:06] <susanna777> arvind_khadri, done
[02:06] <sadiel> Hello guys. I want to change my software repositories back to the original settings, but the server does not show on synaptic options. What command can I use on the terminal to get it done? Also, would "pe.archive.ubuntu/hardy" be the appropiate path?
[02:06] <macd> bennyf12, install "amsn"
[02:06] <macd> vincenzofehring, I dont know until you try.
[02:06] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, what does it give the same old output
[02:06] <bennyf12> macd: im trying with that program, no luch
[02:06] <eeh_rik> anyone any hint for me and my aheros/attansic eth problem? http://pastebin.com/d53847d85
[02:06] <joeLin> any help with pppoe here?
[02:06] <tanath> wil, how randomly?
[02:06] <prince_jammys> wil is it really random or does it happen when you hit certain key combinations?
[02:06] <andi5> Mimi: it sets the variable DISPLAY to :3 ... locally in the shell if you do not export it... if prepended to a command c, c is executed with that variable as environment variable set
[02:06] <macd> bennyf12, does your webcam work in cheese?
[02:06] <Mimi> macd:  DISPLAY=:3 WINEDEBUG=-all wine "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Guild Wars/Gw.exe"    ( to launch a game)
[02:06] <akh3n4t0n> susanna777, i don't think i got what the problem is; i'm willing to help [if i can].. please repeat which is problem you are facing
[02:06] <vincenzofehring> now that i have logged back in, check the screen resolution application?
[02:06] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, is the drive a NTFS one??
[02:06] <bennyf12> macd: yes
[02:07] <macd> Mimi, ohh, I know no wine, Id recommend asking in #wine
[02:07] <tanath> wil, check System > Prefs > Keyboard shortcuts
[02:07] <Luckrider> can anyone help me get my friend to install the real xchat, not the xchat gnome one, I would aprreciate a link or something with instructions on how to install it on Ubuntu so that I can send him the link, He has Hardy Heron as do I.
[02:07] <Mimi> macd:  This is what Im trying to do http://paste.ubuntu.com/9890/   (Yes I am in wine but this is a linux/ubuntu question)
[02:07] <macd> bennyf12, and your telling amsn, to use the same device as cheese?
[02:07] <susanna777> arvind_khadri, same output and yes it is ntfs
[02:07] <bennyf12> macd: yes
[02:07] <frederic> andi5, do you mean I need to change the source.list (with gedit with this fr.archive.ubuntu.com) ? (if yes, how ?)
[02:07] <arvind_khadri> Luckrider, sudo apt-get install xchat
[02:07] <andi5> Luckrider: sudo apt-get install xchat
[02:07] <Luckrider> that is it
[02:07] <Luckrider> ok
[02:07] <Luckrider> that is what I thouhg, just wasn't sure
[02:07] <tanath> Luckrider, you just use the "xchat" package as opposed to "xchat-gnome"
[02:07] <vincenzofehring> macd: my resolutions have all gone away except for 800x600
[02:07] <susanna777> arvind_khadri,  but when i first made the linux partition a month ago, it worked just fine with the win partition
[02:07] <Luckrider> thoughti  it might install the gnome version
[02:08] <eeh_rik> u might be interestd in apt-cache search
[02:08] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, you should have told us before....gparted doesnt support NTFS as of now
[02:08] <Luckrider> thanks
[02:08] <macd> Mimi, yeah that launches a X display on screen 3, but I dont know anything about wine.
[02:08] <Mimi> macd:  Im trying trying to find out if display I want to use, since I dont know what display does.  i know gnome runs in  alt+ctrl+f7 or is it f8? is that what its refering to?
[02:08] <macd> vincenzofehring, what was it at?
[02:08] <susanna777> arvind_khadri,  but it resized it before, a month ago,
[02:08] <wil> tanath: i will happen even if i am away from my keyboard
[02:08] <andi5> frederic: better use system > administration > software sources
[02:08] <vincenzofehring> 800x600
[02:08] <macd> Mimi, no those are ttys not virtual X screens
[02:08] <frederic> andi5, yep. but then ?
[02:08] <vincenzofehring> it used to go 1024x768
[02:08] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, using gparted
[02:08] <sadiel> Hello guys. I want to change my software repositories back to the original settings, but the server does not show on synaptic options. What command can I use on the terminal to get it done? Also, would "pe.archive.ubuntu/hardy" be the appropiate path?
[02:08] <macd> vincenzofehring, and you wanted it higher?
[02:08] <tanath> wil, have anything weird in your startup/session? any scripts or anything that might do it?
[02:08] <andi5> frederic: well, include multiverse
[02:09] <vincenzofehring> yeah, i wanted it to be able to go back to 1024x768
[02:09] <macd> vincenzofehring, what do you mean back to?
[02:09] <eeh_rik> edit /etc/apt/sources.list, sadiel
[02:09] <prince_jammys> vincenzofehring: did you read the links i posted?
[02:09] <frederic> are you kidding me guys ? multiverse is ALREADY in my sources for synaptics. there is no VLC on it.
[02:09] <andi5> sadiel: do not forget .com
[02:09] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, did you use gparted to resize
[02:09] <wil> tanath: nothing out of the ordianry i can see
[02:09] <tanath> sadiel, System > Admin > software sources
[02:09] <susanna777> arvind_khadri,  yes i did
[02:10] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, ok just let me check
[02:10] <sadiel> thanls a lot goys :)
[02:10] <sadiel> guys
[02:10] <eeh_rik> :)
[02:10] <eeh_rik> two ways to do same thing
[02:10] <akh3n4t0n> frederic, you need http://packages.medibuntu.org/ in your repos
[02:10] <andi5> sadiel: actually, it is pe.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy [dist ...]
[02:10] <eeh_rik> if i could only ONE way to fix my eth controller :(
[02:10] <tanath> wil, might file a bug
[02:10] <vincenzofehring> prince_jammys: yes i read the links, but the xorg.conf file doesn't have the lines that they are refering to...
[02:10] <bennyf12> macd: is amsn supposed to work with Windows Live messenger
[02:10] <macd> vincenzofehring, try this instead : http://paste.ubuntu.com/9897/
[02:10] <frederic> akh3n4t0n, funny ... it's already in my sources ...
[02:11] <vincenzofehring> macd: i want it to be able to go up to 1024x768
[02:11]  * SevenSeth alguem ja jogou Final Fantasy X no pc?
[02:11] <prince_jammys> vincenzofehring: the mode lines?
[02:11] <vincenzofehring> prince_jammys: yeah
[02:11] <Mimi> !pt | SevenSeth:
[02:11] <macd> vincenzofehring, you said it was at 1024.768 already just now, and that it went down to 800.600
[02:11] <wil> tanath: ha i hoped it wouldent come to that
[02:11] <SevenSeth> sorry
[02:11] <macd> vincenzofehring, so was it ever at 1024.768 or not?
[02:11] <Mimi> Its ok ^^
[02:11] <prince_jammys> vincenzofehring: you may have to add those yourself (after backing up a copy xorg.conf)
[02:11] <vincenzofehring> no... it was 800x600, but used to support 1024x768
[02:11] <SevenSeth> wrong command
[02:11] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, ok paste your fstab and mtab
[02:11] <SevenSeth> =)
[02:11] <macd> vincenzofehring, in linux or windows?
[02:11] <susanna777> arvind_khadri,  what are those?
[02:12] <tanath> wil, it's a weird problem...
[02:12] <vincenzofehring> it was 1024x768 in windows, and i want that resolution in linux
[02:12] <macd> vincenzofehring, what it does in windows is irrelavent linux IS NOT windows
[02:12] <tanath> wil, anything in dmesg?
[02:12] <con-man> Hardy Heron has seemed to goof up how I shift+click stuff
[02:12] <macd> vincenzofehring, but try that paste link I posted a second ago, and then restart X and login again
[02:12] <prince_jammys> vincenzofehring: look at a working xorg.conf in that forum thread, if there is one, and copy the lines.
[02:12] <tanath> wil, next time check dmesg when it happens
[02:12] <akh3n4t0n> frederic, as far as i can see.. VLC is in "multiverse"
[02:12] <macd> prince_jammys, I already did that for him in a paste.
[02:12]  * frederic gonna get mad
[02:12] <tanath> wil, and any other error logs, like ~/.xsession-errors
[02:12] <vincenzofehring> okay, thank you guys!
[02:13] <eboyjr> In GRUB, what does hiddenmenu do? Does it just automatically start the default operating system selected or what?
[02:13] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, they are files found in /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab
[02:13] <macd> bennyf12, amsn is a msn client for linux
[02:13] <andi5> frederic: please pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:13] <zelrikriando> I am back
[02:13] <susanna777> arvind_khadri, what are those and how do i find them?
[02:13] <Mimi> Welcome back
[02:13] <bennyf12> macd: however, will it work with a Windows Live messenger client??
[02:13] <zelrikriando> xyzpaw: you're ok now?
[02:13] <kbrooks> bennyf12, uh
[02:13] <tanath> hmm, my update manager is no longer notifying me of updates...
[02:13] <macd> bennyf12, they are CLIENTS, they dont work together, they work through a MSN server, so its not relavant.
[02:13] <zelrikriando> tanath: same here.
[02:14] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, type this gksu gedit /etc/fstab
[02:14] <Mimi> tanath:  how often do you have it set up to check for updates?
[02:14] <andi5> tanath: i noticed the same today and added hardy-updates to my repo list :)
[02:14] <tanath> Mimi, daily
[02:14] <con-man> does anyone know why I cant shift+click properly in 8.04? what has changed?
[02:14] <joeLin> any help with pppoe here?
[02:14] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, and then copy paste the text at pastebin
[02:14] <macd> bennyf12, some features that Windows Live messenger has, amsn will not have, you can thank microsoft for that.
[02:14] <kbrooks> eboyjr, no, it hides the menu and provides a count down to press esc on the timeout setting
[02:14] <tanath> Mimi, i have updates now, but no notification
[02:14] <zelrikriando> andi5: repo address?
[02:14] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, the same with mtab too
[02:14] <Mimi> tanath:  and youre noticing that there are more than one update a day? if thats the case it will only check 1 time per day regardless of how many there are that day
[02:14] <andi5> zelrikriando: sorry?
[02:15] <bennyf12> macd: is video webcam sending one of those??
[02:15] <zelrikriando> andi5: you said you added some repository

[02:15] <tanath> Mimi, i know that. but twice now, i opened update manager and found there were updates
[02:15] <kbrooks> eboyjr, if the timeout setting is '0', it skips the prompt, but you can press esc repeatedly
[02:15] <tanath> Mimi, i just opened in now, and there's 20
[02:15] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, the same way mtab too
[02:15] <tanath> *it
[02:15] <andi5> zelrikriando: yes, but it can be done by clicking a checkbox in system > administration > software sources... personally, i simply edited /etc/apt/sources.list and reran sudo apt-get update
[02:15] <kbrooks> eboyjr, 0, not '0'
[02:16] <macd> bennyf12, amsn works perfectly with my logitech webcam, sends/recieves to all my windows using friends.

[02:16] <tanath> Mimi, before, i couldn't get rid of an alert saying my package info is out of date. now, since they updated the update manager, it doesn't alert me at all

[02:20] <syntac> hey, does anyone here have a working wireless connection using a BCM43xx driver?
[02:20] <eeh_rik> yepp

[02:21] <ryugaka> question
[02:21] <susanna777> arvind_khadri,  okay what does the exclamation mark next to the drive mean, that it can't detect it or that there's something wrong with it?
[02:21] <KindOne> daysleeper: 1, its nfts (has Windows 2000 on it)
[02:21] <andi5> ryugaka: yuhu, finally _someone_
[02:21] <Marce_> macd, lol, never heard about syslog
[02:21] <zChris> i need some help with getting Quake 2 to work. I get "/home/chris/stuff/Quake2/opengl32: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" when i try to run the quake2 binary
[02:21] <eeh_rik> syntac: there are really A LOT of guides how to set up these BCM43xx things in the forums
[02:21] <ryugaka> i have the hardy beta on disc
[02:21] <Mimi> tanath:   it's called update-notifier   thats how it is on my session properties
[02:21] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, i feel it cant detect it
[02:21] <tanath> andi5, Mimi, thanks
[02:21] <ryugaka> if i install the hardy beta, would it update to the current hardy?
[02:21] <coomac> syntac, I'm using b43, which works great, but bcm43xx worked well for me till b43 was released
[02:21] <susanna777> arvind_khadri, any idea why it could a month ago?
[02:22] <tritium> ryugaka: yes
[02:22] <macd> Marce_, load a console, type 'tail -f n 50 /var/log/syslog' and wait for your crontab to run, also paste us your crontab to pastebin, so we can see if it will run
[02:22] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, ok did you do a fresh install from then??
[02:22] <ryugaka> also: have they fixed the ndiswrapper issues with b44
[02:22] <tanath> Mimi, right. *smacks forehead*
[02:22] <joeLin> im using hardy heron, pon dsl-provider to connect to snet.net.  once, connected, I can ping external addresses from my network, but web browsing doenst work, SNET claims my "router" is passing a bad password.  pppoe IS passing the proper password.  any help on that?
[02:22] <ryugaka> or whatever?
[02:22] <eboyjr> What are Skype credits?
[02:22] <DaySleeper555> KindOne Is it ATA or SATA?
[02:22] <syntac> coomac, i got the b43 driver installed (when i do an lshw -C network it shows the driver as b43-pci-bridge), i just don't know what command to issue to view wireless networks
[02:22] <susanna777> arvind_khadri, what do you mean?  fresh install of what?
[02:22] <eeh_rik> take a deep breath
[02:22] <akh3n4t0n> susanna777, is was your windows properly shuted down?
[02:22] <vader1102> is it safe to use the upgrade from gui to 8.04?
[02:22] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, of ubuntu
[02:22] <con-man> wine seems to hate shift clicking in Hardy Heron any ideas?
[02:22] <vader1102> from 7.10 anyhow
[02:22] <susanna777> akh3n4t0n,  yes
[02:22] <macd> zChris, did you use the quake2 installer from the ubuntu repositories?
[02:23] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, did you reinstall ubuntu completely since then??
[02:23] <susanna777> arvind_khadri, no
[02:23] <zChris> macd: the quake2-data one ?
[02:23] <ryugaka> Did they fix the ndiswrapper and b44 issues yet?
[02:23] <macd> zChris, yes
[02:23] <akh3n4t0n> susanna777, if windows was not turned off cleanly the.. your partition may not be properly mounted
[02:23] <susanna777> arvind_khadri, i updated to hardy with the update manager
[02:23] <akh3n4t0n> susanna777, ok
[02:23] <ryugaka> There was a fix where you had to rmmod one thing, and then let ndiswrapper go first.
[02:23] <ryugaka> and then b44
[02:23] <ryugaka> or something like that
[02:23] <tanath> Mimi, that was the problem. it wasn't running. i ran it, and now got the alert
[02:23] <susanna777> akh3n4t0n, it was shut down right
[02:23] <eeh_rik> syntac use the nm-applet
[02:23] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, oh ok do this apt-cache policy ntfsprogs
[02:24] <secleinteer> hi, has anyone heard of the hardy x86 alternate cd not picking up the keybard at all, where all previous versions of ubuntu have?
[02:24] <xyzpaw> can someone help me with streamtuner it wont start because it cant find xmms
[02:24] <Mimi> tanath:  hehe that's silly ^_^;; it happens
[02:24] <tanath> zelrikriando, run 'update-notifier'
[02:24] <zChris> macd: that require me to have a cd, i only have a folder

[02:24] <FloodBot1> frederic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:24] <sven_> question #<PHONE_NUMBER>:  is there a bash command to give me a list of possible commands based on a search criteria?
 I have intel D 805
[02:24] <tanath> zelrikriando, and make sure it's in your session
[02:24] <eeh_rik> xyzpaw: go console and type which xmms
[02:24] <eboyjr> What is the default dpi for Ubuntu fonts? Is it 96? 92?
[02:24] <Marce_> macd, is there any way to execute the cron jobs right now? i am watching at the log
[02:24] <European-African> hi, my sound is making a horrible crackling sound, any suggestion why?
[02:24] <sven_> something like "commandlist '%ch*'"?
[02:24] <syntac> eeh_rik, what should i see? it just shows the wired connection
[02:24] <eeh_rik> xyzpaw if you dont ahve it install it first, then set the dir
[02:24] <dfgas> k, when i try to play a video from youtube, it gets 2 seconds into it and stop. every video is this way
[02:24] <coomac> syntac, it's pretty straight forward to install the driver - basically have the right kernel, b43-firmware cutter and cut the firmware into /lib/firmware. You'll know it's working with a quick dmesg
[02:24] <prince_jammys> sven_: the 'apropos' command searches man pages for keywords
[02:24] <tanath> Mimi, i think it's because i killed it to make that alert go away :P
[02:24] <susanna777> arvind_khadri, http://paste.ubuntu.com/9904/
[02:25] <unop> sven_, do you know regular expressions?
[02:25] <eeh_rik> syntac if your wlan card is up and running it shows you wlans in reach
[02:25] <Mimi> Why would you do that tanath ;____; Update notifier looooves you! :P
[02:25] <macd> Marce_, do you know howto make a crontab?
[02:25] <tanath> Mimi, XD
[02:25] <Morglet> macd:   http://paste.ubuntu.com/9903/  -- I included the results from ifconfig and netstat -rn
[02:25] <macd> Marce_, you can just set the time of execution for 5 minutes from now, and wait 5 minutes
[02:25] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, :) should have thought of it....just do sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs
[02:25] <YuriQ> trying to get Dual Head working on my X31 thinkpad using Ubuntu 8.04
[02:25] <European-African> hi, my sound is making a horrible crackling sound, any suggestion why?
[02:25] <Marce_> macd, yep i know, i am a programmer who cant set a stupid cronjob xD
[02:25] <sven_> unop: yes, a little
[02:25] <tanath> Mimi, it was having issues. there was a bug. killing it was necessary
[02:26] <macd> Marce_, then set it for 5 minutes and wait ;)
[02:26] <coomac> syntac, what eeh_rik said, and also if your wifi has a toggle switch you may need to hit it
[02:26] <YuriQ> having difficutly - xrandr commands have absolutely no effect
[02:26]  * frederic is oficialy mad ...
[02:26] <ryugaka> So have they fixed the ndiswrapper issues :D?
[02:26] <andi5> Marce_: oh, i have seen system administrators failing with crontab entries ;-)
[02:26] <Marce_> macd, i'll show you my line of my crontab
[02:26] <xyzpaw> eeh_rik could you please explain what you told me?
[02:26] <prince_jammys> susanna777: didn't you mention that the windows partition is FAT32?
[02:26] <Marce_> andi5, hahahahaha
[02:26] <syntac> coomac, i have one but when i press it nothing happens (it constantly stays blue. in windows it goes red if it is disabled)
[02:26] <YuriQ> anyone familiar with xrandr?
[02:26] <tanath> oh, wow, apparently mplayer has some serious security issues: #395252 - requires too much security maintainance work due to embedded ffmpeg copy
[02:26] <susanna777> prince_jammys,  no it is ntfs
[02:26] <prince_jammys> susanna777: ok
[02:26] <eeh_rik> xyzpaw, youre trying to use streamripper/streamtuner, right?
[02:26] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, is it installing
[02:26] <xyzpaw> yes rik
[02:27] <macd> Morglet, I dont know why, but move auto eth1 above where it says iface eth1 inet  static
[02:27] <xyzpaw> yes eehrik
[02:27] <frederic> !vlc-nox
[02:27] <Marce_> macd: i have this
[02:27] <Marce_> macd: 01 * * * * backupweb
[02:27] <akh3n4t0n> arvind_khadri, can you, please, take a look at this http://paste.ubuntu.com/9906/ ? it nearly identical to susanna777's and still i have no problems with my ntsf partition
[02:27] <macd> Morglet, it looks like its having a parse issue
[02:27] <coomac> syntac, open konsole and enter this please: 'dmesg | grep b43"
[02:27] <European-African> re, my sound is making a horrible crackling noise, any suggestions why? drivers?
[02:27] <macd> Marce_, cronjobs must have absolute paths.
[02:27] <arvind_khadri> akh3n4t0n, on it
[02:27] <eeh_rik> xyzpaw, then u need to configute streamtuner so it knows where your xmms is.. ususally /usr/bin/xmms .. if not find out with 'which xmms' in console
[02:27] <Morglet> macd: OK, trying that
[02:27] <coomac> syntac, it'll say whether the card is enabled or disabled
[02:27] <susanna777> arvind_khadri,  YES!!!!!!  It recognizes it.
[02:27] <unop> sven_, perl -le 'print for grep { /$ARGV[0]/ } map { glob "$_/*" } split /:/, $ENV{PATH}' regular_expression
[02:27] <andi5> Marce_: are you sure backupweb is in the PATH when called?  try an absolute path
[02:27] <syntac> coomac, hold up i'm rebooting
[02:27] <xyzpaw> i already did "which xmms"
[02:27] <susanna777> arvind_khadri,  i should be able to resize it on the live cd now right?
[02:27] <Marce_> macd, i put backupweb in /usr/bin
[02:28] <arvind_khadri> akh3n4t0n, ntfsprogs is used for live cd
[02:28] <Marce_> macd, when i call 'backupweb' it runs ok
[02:28] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, yah all the way :)
[02:28] <macd> Marce_, so, 01 * * * * /usr/bin/backupweb
[02:28] <Marce_> macd, i'll give it a try...
[02:28] <tanath> European-African, prolly the switch to pulse-audio. some people have had issues with it
[02:28] <eeh_rik> there is a setting somewhere in streamtuner where u can set the path to xmms..
[02:28] <frederic> what is vlc-nox ?
[02:28] <damntourists> macd, is that short for mac daddy?
[02:28] <macd> Marce_, additionally, if the file backupweb is not chmod +x it will not run.
[02:28] <akh3n4t0n> arvind_khadri, ok, but my ubuntu is installed on the hard disk and i'm using my ntfs partition :|
[02:28] <xyzpaw> eeh_rik i already did which xmms
[02:28] <susanna777> arvind_khadri,  and everybody else who helped thank you very much and i will try the live cd now
[02:28] <ryugaka> Well I guess I can check ubuntu1501
[02:28] <macd> damntourists, its just a nick.
[02:29] <European-African> tanath: is there a way of fixing it?
[02:29] <ryugaka> to see if there are any fixes
[02:29] <andi5> frederic: -nox typically stands for -no-x, i.e. a text-only package version
[02:29] <arvind_khadri> akh3n4t0n, i meant by gparted cd for ntfs things ,thats ok
[02:29] <eeh_rik> xyzpaw, and then u have retrieved the path to xmms.. :) now u enter it in streamtner preferences
[02:29] <frederic> andi5, so it's not really vlc, I guess
[02:29] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, welcome ,do tell us how it went
[02:29] <shadeofgrey> okay
[02:29] <sven_> another quick one:  how do you target a msg to someone in irc?  /user?
[02:29] <susanna777> i will
[02:29] <Starnestommy> sven_: like this?
[02:29] <eeh_rik> ./msg
[02:29] <sven_> yes
[02:29] <macd> sven_,  /msg user
[02:29] <Marce_> macd, yep, it has execution permission.
[02:29] <xtify3> how do u install cairo-starter bar
[02:29] <Starnestommy> sven_: say their nick in a line
[02:29] <xyzpaw> eeh_rik: no when i did which xmms it returned nothing
[02:29] <tanath> European-African, you'd have to do some troubleshooting. did you play with the sound applet?
[02:29] <akh3n4t0n> arvind_khadri, ok i got it; ntfsprogs are only needed for gparted to di its job, right?
[02:30] <shadeofgrey> who here is running ubuntu on a coreduo macbookpro with vista and leopard
[02:30] <eeh_rik> xyzpaw then u dont have it installed, type in sudo apt-get install xmms
[02:30] <joeLin> im using hardy heron, pon dsl-provider to connect to snet.net.  once, connected, I can ping external addresses from my network, but web browsing doenst work, SNET claims my "router" is passing a bad password.  pppoe IS passing the proper password.  any help on that?
[02:30] <Mimi> Question:    does   nvidia-settings --load-config-only    still work in 8.04 or is that outdated?
[02:30] <andi5> frederic: well, it probably does not have a complex gui, but only shows the player window or fullscreen... and can be controlled by start parameters or maybe even keybindings
[02:30] <macd> shadeofgrey, I have i the paste
[02:30] <Marce_> macd: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 195 2008-05-03 21:55 backupweb
[02:30] <tanath> European-African, try different outputs with it, and see what works
[02:30] <con-man> what happened to xmms? there is no gui its all console QQQQQQQQQQQQ
[02:30] <arvind_khadri> akh3n4t0n, yeah bingo
[02:30] <akh3n4t0n> arvind_khadri, thanks :)
[02:30] <European-African> tanath, which sound applet?
[02:30] <secleinteer> hi, has anyone heard of the hardy x86 alternate cd not picking up the keybard at all, where all previous versions of ubuntu have?
[02:30] <macd> Marce_, just set the crontab like I said above, it will work then.
[02:30] <sven_> Starnestommy: this?
[02:30] <shadeofgrey> macd:  by all means share
[02:30] <Starnestommy> sven_: yes
[02:30] <tanath> European-African, System > Prefs > Sound
[02:30] <macd> Marce_, you didnt have to prove it to me ;P
[02:30] <Morglet> macd: No difference, still doesn't obey the netmask, nor add the default route.
[02:30] <sven_> Starnestommy: that's easy
[02:31] <arvind_khadri> akh3n4t0n, welcome :)
[02:31] <sven_> Starnestommy: thanks
[02:31] <macd> shadeofgrey, haha, past. ;)

[02:32] <macd> Marce_, I dont know what your trying to show me
[02:32] <frederic> why does it get so uneasy to install vlc ? (btw why did I tryed to update my gutsy that was formelly working very well !!)
[02:32] <andi5> !paste > Marce_
[02:32] <macd> frederic, b/c noone likes vlc ;)

[02:32] <tanath> xyzpaw, what are you trying to do?
[02:32] <sven_> prince_jammys: sorta.  just linux in general.  but GTK+/Gnome would be great, yes.
[02:32] <Marce_> macd: i'll pastebin  that
[02:32] <Morglet> macd: Yep.  That's not a parse error though, that's an error coming back from its ifconfig or iproute or route commands.
[02:32] <Starnestommy> frederic: sudo apt-get install vlc doesn't work?
[02:32] <frederic> Starnestommy, nope
[02:32] <xyzpaw> tanath:im trying to get streamtuner to work
[02:32] <tanath> xyzpaw, you may need to add other repositories
[02:32] <shadeofgrey> please msg me the pastw
[02:32] <tanath> xyzpaw, hm, never used it
[02:32] <sven_> ubottu: i'm really looking for more of a community/forum kind of thing
[02:32] <frederic> macd, I love vlc and it does what I mean to : export my pc to my tv screen.
[02:33] <shadeofgrey> please please please
[02:33] <xyzpaw> tanath how do i do that
[02:33] <q_a_z_steve> hey, can someone really quickly tell me the best way to use dd to backup /usr ? I need syntax using bzip, and noerror I think... HELP?
[02:33] <Morglet> macd: I'll try putting a set -x in the if-up script
[02:33] <prince_jammys> sven_: ubottu is a robot. check the link, i think it may mention irc channels
[02:33] <Marce_> macd, http://paste.ubuntu.com/9907/
[02:33] <tanath> xyzpaw, but go to System > Admin > Software sources, to enable other repositories
[02:33] <Marce_> andi5, thanks :)
[02:33] <damntourists> sven_: isn't ubottu a bot, not a person?
[02:33] <eeh_rik> xyzpaw: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=171599
[02:33] <tanath> damntourists, yep
[02:34] <sven_> damntourists: oops.
[02:34] <sven_> prince_jammys: oops
[02:34] <macd> Marce_, Im not sure why you pasted that? your cronjob wont run yet
[02:34] <prince_jammys> sven_: there used to be #ubuntu-dev (i think)
[02:34] <andi5> q_a_z_steve: i am not sure how you want to backup recursively with dd without tarring first or having /usr on a separate unmounted partition
[02:34] <sven_> hmmm, checking...
[02:34] <Marce_> macd, thats the output of syslog!
[02:34] <macd> Marce_, but you can be assured, if you have the crontab like 01 * * * * /usb/bin/backupweb
[02:34] <macd> it will work
[02:34] <damntourists> so i went out and purchased a new agp 8x video card, hopefully this one actually works with ubuntu. my old one wasnt working like.. at all.
[02:34] <prince_jammys> sven_: #ubuntu-devel
[02:35] <macd> Marce_, yeah, I meant the output from around the time the crontab was going to run, how else would I diagnose why it wasnt running
[02:35] <xyzpaw> tanath: i already have everything enabled
[02:35] <sven_> prince_jammys: found it.
[02:35] <MachinTrucChose> has anyone managed to get Tracker to work as advertised (ie, in the screenshots). I can't get it to show me a preview of the file (for example, a sentence containing the word I searched for). All it does is display the word and the filename.
[02:35] <macd> Morglet, is that a workstation?
[02:35] <MachinTrucChose> which is not very helpful since there is no context
[02:35] <frederic> why when I do sudo apt-get update does the repository ignore Translation-fr ? (I don't think it matters with vlc but ...)
[02:35] <q_a_z_steve> andi5: /usr will not be live when I do this, tar bz2 whatever I can, to make it the smallest, with one line of syntax.
[02:35] <ad> damntourists, i hope you did buy a nvidia/ati/intel not something exotic
[02:35] <Marce_> macd, the process is running ok.
[02:35] <macd> Morglet, or a server, Im asking b/c network-manager may be fighting with it
[02:35] <Marce_> macd, checked with ps
[02:35] <tanath> xyzpaw, then update your package info (reload in synaptic, or 'sudo aptitude update')
[02:35] <damntourists> ad: i purchased a 60 dollar nvidia card
[02:35] <Marce_> macd: maybe am i editing by a wrong way?
[02:35] <tanath> xyzpaw, or use update manager
[02:36] <Marce_> macd: i am editing this way:
[02:36] <macd> Marce_, your crontab isnt going to run right now, LOOK at the time.
[02:36] <xyzpaw> tanath where is update manager?
[02:36] <Marce_> macd: sudo crontab -u root -e
[02:36]  * frederic speaking to walls and thinking how stupid he was to think newer is better ...
[02:36] <frederic> ;)
[02:36] <Marce_> macd, YES!!! i looked at the time! thats the reason i paste the output of syslog!
[02:36] <tanath> xyzpaw, system > admin > update manager
[02:37] <macd> Marce_, but not after you fixed the absolute path issue.
[02:37] <Marce_> macd, can i change the crontab manually?
[02:37] <andi5> Marce_: sounds right... does sudo crontab -u root -l  show you your commands
[02:37] <macd> Marce_, no
[02:37] <eboyjr> Where can I view that circular color-coded map of the files on the system?
[02:37] <ad> eboyjr, "filelight"
[02:37] <macd> Marce_, using 01 * * * * /usr/bin/backupweb will work, I can assure you.
[02:37] <Marce_> andi5, i get #m h dom mon dow   command
[02:37] <Marce_> 01 * * * * /usr/bin/backupweb

[02:39] <macd> Marce_, I asked you if you had the time set right alrady ;P
[02:39] <xyzpaw> uncheck what?
[02:39] <zelrikriando> xyzpaw: the CD rom
[02:39] <Marce_> macd i expected that that "01" was 1 minute!
[02:40] <Marce_> macd what a confusion
[02:40] <macd> thats the first minute of every hour.
[02:40] <tanath> xyzpaw, aha, you said you're trying to get streamtuner working, right?
[02:40] <tanath> xyzpaw, go to Streamtuner's preferences and in the Applications tab change XMMS to totem or any other media player you are using

[02:46] <r00723r0> But Exaile is suddenly working so I say it's just a Pidgin issue alone.
[02:46] <macd> eeh_rik, in your case, I think your card isnt able to pickup a dhcp request, due to a router, or cable modem maybe?
[02:46] <tanath> xyzpaw, amarok is the best :)
[02:47] <eido_> how do i format a floppy?

[02:47] <chris127> has anyone used "install inside windows" option?
[02:47] <John_S> andi5: OK, which dev packages do I need?
[02:47] <mulvane> Needs a few improvements. But its definately useable
[02:47] <tanath> xyzpaw, did you do this? go to Streamtuner's preferences and in the Applications tab change XMMS to totem or any other media player you are using
[02:47] <tanath> xyzpaw, type where?
[02:47] <sven_> prince_jammys: what do you mean?
[02:47] <ad> John_S, like "apt-get install build-essential kde"
[02:47] <macd> eeh_rik, are you hooked directly to a router? or a cable modem?

[02:47] <E_Cornflake> andi5: upgrade went fine apart from the kernel and related packages. currently patially installed and i get dpeendency errors trying to install them. I've been upgradeding over about 5 release now though, so that might be causing a problem. this ins on x86
[02:47] <prince_jammys> etheredge: there seems to be a deb availiable: http://blog.goukihq.org/2006/07/28/the-hackers-choice-hydra-on-ubuntu/
[02:47] <eeh_rik> router with network etc.. everything set up fine
[02:47] <DaySleeper555> etheredge Package manager installs binaries packaged for Ubuntu, not source codes, if you can find it in synaptic, u would save time compiling it
[02:47] <susanna777> arvind_khadri:  i'm trying to resize it again, the first time it gave me an error
[02:48] <eeh_rik> and im currently on win on the machine with the problem
[02:48] <John_S> ad, andi5: OK thanks I'll give it a try. :)
[02:48] <xyzpaw> tanath can we chat somewhere more quiet? maybe at #xyzpaw
[02:48] <prince_jammys> sven_: the link from ubottu will tell you how to register.
[02:48] <macd> eeh_rik, just for fun have you turned your ubuntu box off, then rebooted your router.
[02:48] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, what was the error
[02:48] <eeh_rik> jepp a few zillion times the last 3 ours
[02:48] <susanna777> it says to go to this website: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/tips/save_details.htm for more information.
[02:48] <ryugaka> man they need to fix the ndiswrapper

[02:48] <ryugaka> issues with dell 1501's
[02:48] <shadeofgrey> macd -- forget me again?
[02:48] <macd> eeh_rik, hehe, what address range does it hand out IP's on
[02:48] <andi5> E_Cornflake: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade once more
[02:48] <susanna777> arvind_khadri: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/tips/save_details.htm for more information.
[02:48] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, ok am looking on to that site
[02:48] <sven_> prince_jammys: dude, that's a smart bot.
[02:48] <macd> shadeofgrey, no I said use bootcamp and you can install vista and ubuntu in about an hour
[02:48] <andi5> E_Cornflake: run ..., i mean :)
[02:48] <eeh_rik> 192.168.1.xxx
[02:48] <xyzpaw> tanath?
[02:49] <tony> Can anyone walk me through fixing a broken ext2/3 filesystem? Like, badly broken.
[02:49] <tony> Or at least get the data back off
[02:49] <E_Cornflake> andi5: Ok, i'll give it a go, thanks
[02:49] <prince_jammys> sven_: heh. we invoke it !keyword (eg !register)
[02:49] <tanath> xyzpaw, i'm there
[02:49] <shadeofgrey> i dont need refit?
[02:49] <macd> shadeofgrey, refit for what?
[02:49] <andi5> E_Cornflake: if it still fails, please pastebin the remaining errors
[02:49] <Morglet> macd: want me to ask again in channel with the pastebin, for someone else to pick up?
[02:49] <shadeofgrey> what about the bootloader crap that was so complicatted?
[02:49] <eeh_rik> and tbh im som sorta fed up and tired by now too, please if there is any good idea, please dont hesitate to post reply to the pastebin
[02:49] <macd> Morglet, just give me a sec ;)
[02:49] <thebigham> Firefox keeps closing when watching a flash video, any way to fix this problem?
[02:49] <con-man> what happened to xmms? there is no gui its all console QQQQQQQQQQQQ
[02:49] <sven_> prince_jammys: aaah.  i assume you mods have that power?
[02:49] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, it has no details regarding your issue
[02:49] <macd> shadeofgrey, no bootcamps makes this a push button operation
[02:49] <prince_jammys> sven_: you do too
[02:49] <eeh_rik> i see you have hands full
[02:50] <E_Cornflake> andi5:  always use aptitude instead of apt, do you think that could cause problems?
[02:50] <eeh_rik> gn8!
[02:50] <Ricket> How can I diagnose my standby issues? My computer "wakes up" per se, but the screen does not come on and nothing appears to load - I need to know how to fix this, standby is VERY important as I am on a laptop!!
[02:50] <eeh_rik> maybe cu tomorrow hehe
[02:50] <chalcedony> You tried to access the address http://packages.ubuntu.com/, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page.
[02:50] <danbhfive> thebigham: did you upgrade from hardy beta?
[02:50] <shadeofgrey> okay now we are gettimng somewhere
[02:50] <chris127> how well does "installing in windows" work with vista?
[02:50] <sven_> !register
[02:50] <sven_> aaaaah
[02:50] <macd> eeh_rik, I was asking you what IP does it usually hand out?
[02:50] <macd> ohhh nvm
[02:50] <macd> Morglet, ok, not busy now, hehe
[02:50] <Morglet> macd: kk  (I'm happy to put tests into shell scripts here, if you tell me where)
[02:50] <shadeofgrey> so i have theCD and bootcamp is already present
[02:50] <andi5> E_Cornflake: i am not sure... i have never upgraded using aptitude... for all other tasks i use aptitude extensively
[02:50] <eboyjr> What do you call a program that had code coloring and other features?
[02:50] <ozzloy> http://xrl.us/bj5ev  i tried this, but still no desktop effects.  what should i do to enable desktop effects?
[02:50] <thebigham> danbhfive: no i did a fresh install
[02:50] <eboyjr> s/had/has
[02:50] <shadeofgrey> thats it?
[02:50] <susanna777> arvind_khadri: okay just a sec
[02:50] <macd> Morglet, does it work via dhcp over static?
[02:50] <eboyjr> IDE?
[02:50] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, ok
[02:51] <sven_> prince_jammys: k, so freenode tells me to input this /msg command to nickserv w/ my password.  is that secure to do here?
[02:51] <E_Cornflake> andi5: ok, thans. trying with apt-get this time
[02:51] <Morglet> macd: no dhcp here, my LAN is all static
[02:51] <laeg> default application problem >>> selecting /bin/azureus/azureus in the 'open with' tab of a .torrent files properties and selecting the radio button doesn't make azureus the default application. running the file does nothing and it has no default. how can i fix this?
[02:51]  * frederic still searching what's wrong ...
[02:51] <laeg> !azureus
[02:51] <macd> Morglet, hmm I was kinda hoping for testing
[02:51] <tony> This is what an attempt to fsck the drive gets: http://pastebin.com/m5bc23262
[02:51] <chalcedony> sven_: type it in your server window
[02:51] <tony> (and no, no other processes are attempting to access the drive, and it's not mounted)
[02:51] <chalcedony> sven_: all commands on irc start with /
[02:51] <andi5> laeg: /bin/azureus/azureus looks like a broken path... are you sure it is not /usr/bin/azureus?
[02:51] <prince_jammys> sven_: it is, but better to do it away from here. do it in the main "ubuntu irc" window in your client
[02:51] <Ricket> sven_: if I were you, i would type it in the server window just in case you forget the slash or something goes wrong, but normally it is "safe" to type here, in the sense that it would work
[02:51] <linkmaster03> How can I disable the big sound icon popping up when i move the volume wheel on my laptop?
[02:51] <shadeofgrey> its finally that easy
[02:52] <prince_jammys> sven_: if you want to test different bot factoids, /msg ubottu   and fire way
[02:52] <sven_> how do i get to the server window in pidgin?  or should i be using xchat?
[02:52] <macd> tony, you cant do that to the same machine your logged into, you have to uyse the livecd, or unmount the filesystem.
[02:52] <prince_jammys> sven_:  *away
[02:52] <shadeofgrey> does sual monitor support still suck?
[02:52] <eboyjr> What;s the best IDE for Ubuntu?
[02:52] <andi5> linkmaster03: /me wants to hear the solution as well :)
[02:52] <danbhfive> thebigham: http://markusthielmann.com/blog/defusing_one_most_annoying_bugs_ubuntu_hardy_heron_stop_flash_killing_firefox     try this
[02:52] <shadeofgrey> for those of us that are ati
[02:52] <susanna777> arvind_khadri: i don't know what else to tell you  i put in two commands, one to resize my win partition from 24 GB to 18.06 GB
[02:52] <macd> shadeofgrey, I had the nvidia gfx, it all worked fine
[02:52] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, ok so does it happend
[02:52] <tony> macd: The drive is already connected to another system, and is not mounted.
[02:52] <arvind_khadri> ??
[02:52] <tony> macd: (indeed, I cannot mount it)
[02:52] <Morglet> macd: well that config works perfectly when I type in the ifconfig and route commands by hand, so the question is why isn't it running the same commands. :-)
[02:52] <thebigham> danbhfive: Thank you
[02:53] <shadeofgrey> well i finally ran the liuveCD with no issue
[02:53] <susanna777> arvind_khadri: and increase the size sda4 which has the root and swap file under it, from 9.71GB to 15.64GB
[02:53] <macd> tony, whances are udev did mount it.
[02:53] <r00723r0> How do I reinstall my kernel?
[02:53] <shadeofgrey> and it ran no prob
[02:53] <susanna777> arvind_khadri: it starts to do something then it gives me the error message, but it does not resize them
[02:53] <r00723r0> As in uninstall it then reinstall it?
[02:53] <kodmaster> Hi, during install of hardy heron x64, the install gets stuck at 5% formatting the ide drive. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
[02:53] <judgepg> hey guys, i've deleted a user, but his /home directory is still there.  How do I remove the user's home directory?  Sudo gives me permission issue
[02:53] <andi5> r00723r0: why do you want that?
[02:53] <r00723r0> I'm on 2.6.24-17.
[02:53] <macd> Morglet, that is a good question, try to copy the interfaces file to interfaces.old, and rescreate it
[02:53] <Morglet> macd: notice that it's putting in the wrong netmask, using an antique class A netmask, as if it hadn't even seen the netmask entry.  Bizarre
[02:53] <SeaPhor> amenado, well it was nice while it lasted,,, just lost wireless and cant figure out why, have it all logged at http://www.wood-bee-co.com/woodbeeco/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=38&Itemid=63
[02:53] <r00723r0> andi5, I read that installing nvidia drivers after the kernel will screw things up.
[02:54] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, sda 5 has root and sda 4 has swap
[02:54] <shadeofgrey> judgepg, you dont ever move home
[02:54] <macd> Morglet, yeah its pretty wierd for sure
[02:54] <r00723r0> andi5, it's times like these when I miss Gentoo.
[02:54] <matthew_> I unistalled firefox beta 3 and installed 3 with synaptic but it gives me an error when I try to install extensions
[02:54] <shadeofgrey> thats suicide
[02:54] <judgepg> shadeofgrey, I've got a user called /home/testusr
[02:54] <judgepg> shadeofgrey, I'de like to remove testusr
[02:54] <tony> macd: ah. Any way to get around that?
[02:54] <macd> matthew_, the majority of firefox extensions dont work with FF3.
[02:54] <shadeofgrey> so go in therough admin and users and delete them
[02:54] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, hey just a sec
[02:54] <andi5> r00723r0: cannot you take the nvidia drivers from the ubuntu repos?  i highly doubt they break the kernel when installed
[02:54] <macd> tony, does it sbd show in "df" ?
[02:54] <matthew_> macd, that's why i uninstalled it
[02:54] <macd> tony, err sdb*
[02:54] <tony> macd: Nope.
[02:55] <r00723r0> They don't break the kernel, andi5.
[02:55] <matthew_> but they errror in 2.0
[02:55] <con-man> I seem to be getting sound lag when playing mp3s anyone have any ideas?
[02:55] <r00723r0> andi5, they just don't work.
[02:55] <kodmaster> Hi, during install of hardy heron x64, the install gets stuck at 5% formatting the ide drive. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
[02:55] <macd> tony, hmmm, odd, and its ext3 filesystem right?
[02:55] <shadeofgrey> linux is not windows dude.  there are rules you cant break
[02:55] <judgepg> shadeofgrey, thanks - any thoughts.  I've deleted the user from the system -> Users and Groups
[02:55] <r00723r0> andi5, and I do take nvidia drivers from repos.
[02:55] <shadeofgrey> thats one
[02:55] <andi5> r00723r0: even after a reboot?
[02:55] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, sda 6 for swap and sda 5 for root
[02:55] <r00723r0> Even after a reboot.
[02:55] <tony> macd: Definitely ext3.
[02:55] <amenado> SeaPhor-> you still have roaming checked? i  would uncheck it
[02:55] <macd> kodmaster, go reburn a new install cd.
[02:55] <susanna777> arvind_khadri: yes
[02:55] <ad> kodmaster, perhaps wait for a ubuntu developer herre :-(
[02:55] <laeg> andi5: /bin/azureus/azureus exists but i've also tried to use the script which is in /use/bin/azureus - both give the same result unforuntately :(
[02:55] <pawan> nvidia 5200 fx drivers not working
[02:55] <kodmaster> macd: i have burnt two
[02:55] <andi5> r00723r0: i do not understand that, actually... but i am not trained in nvidia-glx question s:)
[02:55] <pawan> how to install
[02:55] <susanna777> arvind_khadri: and they are both part of sda 4
[02:56] <r00723r0> andi5, I didn't know people were trained to help here.
[02:56] <kodmaster> macd: stuck at same part
[02:56] <shadeofgrey> kodmaster, as joliet?
[02:56] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, they are independent now...not some part of that :)
[02:56] <susanna777> arvind_khadri: okay
[02:56] <andi5> r00723r0: some are more active than others (like me, i just join every month or so)
[02:56] <sven_> ad: was that targeted at me?
[02:56] <SeaPhor> amenado, nope, custom, manual config- saved,,, all doc'd at the site i gave
[02:56] <kodmaster> shadeofgrey: joliet is?
[02:56] <amenado> SeaPhor-> also if you have neighboring AP, put yours in like channel 11 instead of channel 6
[02:56] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, you need to resize them individually
[02:56] <macd> tony, try mounting it, then get the volume_id of the partitions, then run e2fsck on them
[02:57] <matthew_> hey,can anyone help me out with my firefox issue?
[02:57] <shadeofgrey> kodmaster, your a mac purest?
[02:57] <Fezzler> Can someone help me determine if I have the right nvidia driver installed?  I'm having trouble with Appearance and Desktop Effects
[02:57] <amenado> SeaPhor-> i dont see it where you have your roaming unchecked
[02:57] <ad> sven_, oehm nope sry
[02:57] <berent> which is a good report generator in ubuntu . (anything written in python)
[02:57] <kodmaster> shadeofgrey: nope windows
[02:57] <arvind_khadri> matthew_, ask
[02:57] <susanna777> arvind_khadri: okay i am resizing the win partition by itself
[02:57] <shadeofgrey> okay
[02:57] <shadeofgrey> then
[02:57] <andi5> r00723r0: this still puzzles me... i had a kernel update issue today as well, so i went into aptitude and reinstalled the kernel (press "L") and made sure nvidia-glx was installed
[02:57] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, ok ..
[02:57] <macd> Morglet, looking around on lauchpad (bug tracking for ubuntu) I see some similar things, but they were all due to parse erros, or wild spaces, newlines in the interfaces file, but I think you might have come across a actual bug.
[02:57] <shadeofgrey> we need to tsalk in private
[02:57] <tony> macd: "mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist"
[02:57] <matthew_> I unistalled firefox beta 3 and installed 3 with synaptic but it gives me an error when I try to install extensions
[02:57] <r00723r0> andi5, I don't use aptitude.
[02:58] <shadeofgrey> ill walk you through it
[02:58] <andi5> r00723r0: and still i do not understand what my problems were about
[02:58] <matthew_> er installed 2
[02:58] <shadeofgrey> msg me
[02:58] <r00723r0> andi5, it's funny.
[02:58] <shadeofgrey> i he;lp
[02:58] <r00723r0> There are no restricted drivers in RDM.
[02:58] <arvind_khadri> matthew_, the old plugins arent yet supported totally
[02:58] <r00723r0> Even though I just installed nvidia.
[02:58] <macd> tony, hmmmmmm
[02:58] <sven_> how do i change my nick?  it's already registered!
[02:58] <tony> macd: gparted actually can't read the disklabel, even.
[02:58] <matthew_> no, I'm in 3.0 arvind
[02:58] <r00723r0> sven_, /nick <nick>
[02:58] <matthew_> er 2.0
[02:58] <andi5> sven_: /nick $NICK
[02:58] <arvind_khadri> sven_, please move to #freenode
[02:58] <matthew_> my keyboatd fucks up with the 2 button apparantly
[02:58]  * andi5 bites sven_
[02:59] <macd> tony, what does 'ls /dev/sd*' list?
[02:59] <macd> tony, you dont have to paste, but does it show the disks partitions
[02:59] <susanna777> arvind_khadri: it gives me the same error
[02:59] <matthew_> so i uninstalled 3.0, installed 2.0 but get errors when installing extensions
[02:59] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, doesnt the thing have a GUI
[02:59] <susanna777> arvind_khadri: yeah
[02:59] <tony> macd: shows everything on sda, and only the sdb, no sdb1, etc.
[03:00] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, ok did the same cd work before
[03:00] <tharvey> trying out ubuntu on an old Dell Inspiron 8200 - when I use the nvidia driver it acts like its sending the video out the external monitor port - any idea how to get it to not do that or how to switch off the nvidia driver from a console?
[03:00] <susanna777> arvind_khadri: yes this exact one
[03:00] <DaySleeper555> matthew_ Some extensions don't work with older versions, or u can look for older versions of extensions
[03:00] <macd> tony, run this "sudo vol_id /dev/sdb"
[03:00] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, ok 1)cd is toast 2)manual error
[03:01] <matthew_> daysleeper, its adblock plus
[03:01] <tharvey> also trying to figure out how to set the interface priority between wired/wireless if both are connected
[03:01] <matthew_> it should work with anything after 1.5 I thought
[03:01] <susanna777> arvind_khadri: should i try downloaded a live cd of hardy
[03:01] <tony> macd: Unknown volume type.
[03:01] <titeuf> salut
[03:01] <localgod12> can anyone help me with samba?
[03:01] <eka> hi all
[03:01] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, those are the possibilities it isnt working ,also check out if you have ntfs-3g
[03:01]  * andi5 cannot dance
[03:02] <macd> tony, thats about as far as I know, what to try, have you tried downloading those et2/3 tools for windows and sticking it in a windows box?
[03:02] <susanna777> arvind_khadri:  it recognizes the drive
[03:02] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, yeah you can do that
[03:02] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, jus a sec
[03:02] <macd> tony, additionally I think you can just use dd to copy a bit4bit copy to another disk
[03:02] <Fezzler> nvidia working?
[03:02] <macd> tony,well nvm, it would have ot mount I think
[03:02] <DaySleeper555> matthew_ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addons/versions/1865 Try older ones
[03:02] <pawan> how to see what processes are running in ubuntu
[03:03] <eka> I hear sound from my headphone as well from my laptop speakers at the same time, and i have the headphones checked in sound config, I'm using ubuntu 8.04. I installed the from the beta. any clue?
[03:03] <arvind_khadri> pawalls, ps -e
[03:03] <tony> macd, actually, let me reboot this machine into Windows and see what the Windows drivers think.
[03:03] <arvind_khadri> pawan, ps -e
[03:03] <tharvey> pawan, ps
[03:03] <ad> pawalls, add the applet in the taskbar
[03:03] <andi5> pawan: there are several ways... gnome applets, top, htop, ps (faux) is just a small selection
[03:03] <SeaPhor> amenado, i click on NM and select manual config, that opens a box (pic on the site) that only option is "Unlock", i select that and put in password, then i am able to select wireless/ properties and select the saved working config and before would find and get connected, not now though,,,
[03:03] <ad> pawan, add the applet in the taskbar (monitoring) an double click it
[03:03] <danbhfive> anyone else experiencing problems with seeking in hardy's totem?
[03:04] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, ok well if it recognises it should re-size too,check out ntfs-3g
[03:04] <ad> danbhfive, nope check you movie/mp3
[03:04] <AtomicSpark> this desktop 3d thing isn't very useful :P
[03:04] <tharvey> some of my firefox extensions don't work as ubuntu 8.04 installs ff 3.x - should I uninstall it and manually install ff 2.x?
[03:04] <macd> tonyyarusso, good luck man.,
[03:04]  * macd is out for beer time.
[03:04] <Sayed> anyone know same hacker irc chanel?
[03:04] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, sudo apt-cache policy ntfs-3g
[03:04] <susanna777> arvind_khadri: okay just a sec
[03:04] <pawan> how to end a particular process
[03:05] <DaySleeper555> AtomicSpark No, practically only the rotation is usefull
[03:05] <Starnestommy> pawan: kill number-of-process
[03:05] <LunaFreeState> sayed just type /list in the freenet tab
[03:05] <DaySleeper555> AtomicSpark But it's nice :P
[03:05] <arvind_khadri> pawan, get the pid of the process and kill -9 <pid>
[03:05] <Starnestommy> LunaFreeState: freenode, not freenet
[03:05] <Sayed> tks
[03:05] <amenado> SeaPhor-> i dont know what settings you have done,  this Unlock thing..if you meant the password for sudo, then i can understand
[03:05] <LunaFreeState> sorry
[03:05] <pawan> any graphical utility

[03:06] <susanna777> arvind_khadri: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9908/
[03:06] <Morglet> macd: I've straced /sbin/ifup -a , and looked at output.  It does the ifconfig correctly, with the right netmask, and the execve() succeeds.  Later on it does some ioctl()'s, and one of them fails.  It seems to be this that leaves the interface with the wrong netmask/bcast.

[03:15] <bthornton> Hardy users: Is anybody finding Firefox 3 slower/more likely to become unresponsive? I'm noticing this particularly on large images or large files: the entire browser becomes unresponsive long enough for the window to go dim, then it "wakes up" 10 seconds later.
[03:16] <bthornton> For example: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/installer-amd64/current//images/netboot/boot.img.gz
[03:16] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, this one will also work but i didnt have any luck with that :D
[03:16] <Foo1> Hi I need help, badly.
[03:16] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, so use brasero
[03:16] <Pelo> Foo1, ask a question
[03:16] <susanna777> arvind_khadri: okay
[03:16] <supertimmy> Pelo: Yes, Windows XP is on the first half of a 250gb HDD
[03:16] <Foo1> I made a mistake with chmod, now I get "Unable to cd to /home/geoff
[03:16] <Foo1> how do I fix that? :|
[03:16] <jotsy> I hate Lenovo service partitions...
[03:16] <Pelo> supertimmy,  then you don'T need the map lines,   at least comment those out
[03:17] <susanna777> arvind_khadri: okay brasero and the gparted live cd are downloading
[03:17] <Pelo> Foo1,  sudo chmod -R 755 /home/geoff
[03:17] <Foo1> I checked online and they say "enter such and such a command" ... but I try logging in and I get that message... followed by no bash prompt
[03:17] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, hey brasero comes default in hardy
[03:17] <supertimmy> Pelo: OK, will do. Here is the output of fdisk -l if that helps. http://rafb.net/p/NXxMF494.html
[03:17] <metanil> i am upgrading my 7.10 to 8.10... the process stopped at "cleaning up" process showing error/warning "/sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1 is not a symbolic link"

[03:18] <Foo1> Pelo: how do I get my bash prompt back?
[03:18] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, you could have downloaded the image and then gone into hardy and burn it
[03:18] <Pelo> Foo1, start a new terminal
[03:18] <amenado> SeaPhor-> i dont get that..no unlock on mine..
[03:18] <Foo1> note: I never gave root a password (I made every effort to avoid that)
[03:18] <susanna777> arvind_khadri: i click burn image right?
[03:18] <jack-desktop> i just ran this in terminal and restarted my computer (sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-modules-386) and now it seems like my sessions wont start
[03:18] <L_inf> Just Installed VIM and the CTRL-] option doesn't work any ideas??
[03:18] <arvind_khadri> Foo1, the command given by him needs to be done at maintenance terminal
[03:18] <Foo1> you mean alt-Fkey?
[03:18]  * sebsebseb hi sussanna

[03:19] <supertimmy> Pelo: OK, I will go try that.
[03:19] <Pelo> hmmmm
[03:19] <Foo1> I was on Terminal 4 where it started so I had tried that already..switching to T1, tried logging in and I ended up with the same message followed by no prompt
[03:19] <Pelo> do we have arab ?
[03:19] <Foo1> ?
[03:19] <susanna777> sebsebseb: right now i'm able troubleshooting gparted to make the linux partition bigger
[03:19] <AtomicSpark> ah gdesklets-data gives me more options
[03:19] <arvind_khadri> Pelo, no
[03:19] <Pelo> Foo1, just reboot
[03:20] <ad> :q!

[03:22] <susanna777> arvind_khadri: where do i find the .iso i just download?
[03:23] <sebsebseb> susanna777:  things should work in Gparted if not  you could try QTParted
[03:23] <tony> macd: Looks like the whole thing's prettymuch just shot. I'll play around with a few more tools and let you know if I get anywhere, but I don't expect anything at this point.
[03:23] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, it would be on the desktop
[03:23] <susanna777> sebsebseb: how would i get qt parted
[03:23] <susanna777> arvind_khadri: okay
[03:23] <tony> macd: Thanks for the help, though
[03:23] <susanna777> arvind_khadri: it's not
[03:24] <eboyjr> Pelo: To fix invisible panels: run "metacity --replace"
[03:24] <sebsebseb> susanna777: open the terminal and try this:  sudo apt-get install qtparted
[03:24] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, locate *.iso
[03:24] <susanna777> arvind_khadri: is that what i type in the terminal
[03:25] <mike_e> I have a very serious problem with my hard drive, I'm using ubuntu live CD and it doesn't detect my hard drive
[03:25] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, yeah just try
[03:25] <sebsebseb> arvind_khadri:  ISO for what?
[03:25] <susanna777> arvind_khadri: i will try qtparted and if that doesn't work i will go back to trying gparted live
[03:25] <arvind_khadri> sebsebseb, gparted live cd
[03:25] <adred> hi all. how can i completely remove pidgin? i want to replace it funpidgin. help pls
[03:25] <sebsebseb> she seems to be on a Live CD now anyway
[03:25] <arvind_khadri> susanna777, ok
[03:26] <arvind_khadri> sebsebseb, that isnt working
[03:26] <ldiamond> I get "/media/disk/lib/2.6.24-16-generic is not a valid kernel version" when running mkinitramfs -o /media/disk/boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-16-generic /media/disk/lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic
[03:26] <bracksisahobo> sudo apt-get autoremove pidgin
[03:26] <sebsebseb> susanna777:  sudo apt-get install qtparted  try that
[03:26] <susanna777> sebbsebseb and arvind_khadri
[03:26] <sebsebseb> in the terminal
[03:26] <susanna777> did not work
[03:26] <adred> thanks
[03:26] <susanna777> qtparted won't even recognize anything
[03:26] <chucky> trying to connect to a wireless network. iwconfig looks right, but when I try to use dhclient, there is no response
[03:26] <Foo1> arvind_khadri: ?
[03:26] <Foo1> I rebooted and tried logging in again
[03:26] <sebsebseb> susanna777: could it not find the package?
[03:26] <Foo1> I got the same error message
[03:27] <Foo1> but this time it's not even letting me log in.. I'm stuck at the login prompt
[03:27] <susanna777> sebsebseb: no i found it and it installed and opened, but qtparted can't find any of my partition
[03:27] <mrbamboo> Hey, is there a way to get ubuntu to use all 4GB of my Ram, I have the 32bit OS hardy heron, and it only recognizes up to 3.2GB, I understand this is cause of addressibility
[03:27] <sebsebseb> susanna777:  you need to open qtparted as root
[03:27] <susanna777> okay
[03:27] <susanna777> remind how again
[03:27] <Foo1> oi?
[03:27] <sebsebseb> susanna777:  sudo qtparted in the terminal
[03:27] <ldiamond> mrbamboo, it depends on your platform. You would need a 64bit OS too
[03:27] <thomas> hey anyone here?
[03:28] <susanna777> sebsebseb: okay it's finding them
[03:28] <supertimmy> I looked at the boot order, the correct HDD was first. Any ideas as to why Grub is not loading windows?
[03:28] <ldiamond> Why do I get "/media/disk/lib/2.6.24-16-generic is not a valid kernel version" when running mkinitramfs -o /media/disk/boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-16-generic /media/disk/lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic
[03:28] <mike_e> I have a serious problem with my hard drive, I'm using a liveCD and it won't detect my hard drive or any partitions
[03:28] <metanil> i am upgrading my 7.10 to 8.10... it is taking whole lot of time at "cleaning up" process showing error/warning "/sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1 is not a symbolic link"... any help??
[03:28] <thomas> how can i update my wine from 0.59 to 0.6? i heard there was an update, but im using packages.
[03:28] <sebsebseb> susanna777:  I have an idea for the partitoning
[03:28] <ldiamond> mike_e, is your hard drive dead?
[03:28] <arvind_khadri> Foo1, press ctrl+alt+f1 and there login as root
[03:28] <mrbamboo> well actually i have 64bit cpu.. but i ended up deciding to install a 32bit OS anyway since the 64bit one tends to have more problems/bugs/incompatibilities
[03:28] <pawan> any utility to convert mp3 bit rate
[03:28] <susanna777> sebsebseb: what?
[03:28] <Foo1> arvind_khadri: I never gave root a password
[03:29] <ldiamond> mrbamboo, you need to know what chipset you use.
[03:29] <Foo1> I went out of my way to avoid that. :|
[03:29] <mike_e> I'm not sure, how would I know if it was dead?
[03:29] <sebsebseb> susanna777: by the way if you join #susanna we can chat there
[03:29] <arvind_khadri> Foo1, uhhh
[03:29] <mike_e> when my computer crashed a few weeks ago
[03:29] <susanna777> sebsebseb: qtparted is doing someting
[03:29] <arvind_khadri> Foo1, do you have root access
[03:29] <thomas> anyone know how i can update my WINE from 0.59 to 0.60? im using packages.
[03:29] <susanna777> sebsebseb: how do i do get on?
[03:29] <mike_e> and I booted with the liveCD, it still had all of my files
[03:29] <Foo1> yeah
[03:29] <mike_e> then I tried installing
[03:29] <Foo1> if I can sudo
[03:29] <babolat> !ask | mike_e
[03:29] <sebsebseb> susanna777:   type /join #susanna
[03:29] <Foo1> but I can't log in
[03:29] <Foo1> :|
[03:29] <mike_e> and it erased everything that was on my hard drive
[03:30] <mrbamboo> erm well i know it recognized all 4gb when i had 64bit gutsy gibbon and 64bit win xp. i just put on 32bit hardy heron
[03:30] <thomas> hmmmmmm
[03:30] <Foo1> it just dumps me back at the login prompt after saying "unable to cd"
[03:30] <ldiamond> well then, if you installed it wrongly and erased all your files, nothing much can be done
[03:30] <ldiamond> there are ways to recover these data but it requires decent knowledge
[03:30] <mike_e> I don't care to recorver my files, I care to install ubuntu
[03:30] <mike_e> the installer doesn't work
[03:30] <Morglet> macd:  I've replaced /etc/init.d/networking by a hack that directly sets and unsets my eth1 and routing correctly, which'll do for now.  But basically I think you have a bug in /sbin/ifup.
[03:30] <Morglet> macd:  It may be related to eth0 not being available in my machine (doesn't appear in lspci at all), but other distros (and Windows) are fine.
[03:30] <ldiamond> Why do I get "/media/disk/lib/2.6.24-16-generic is not a valid kernel version" when running mkinitramfs -o /media/disk/boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-16-generic /media/disk/lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic
[03:31] <mike_e> it gets to about 48% in the installer and then freezes
[03:31] <SeaPhor> amenado,  well i'm gonna just go buy an Airlink AWLL3028 Wireless-G USB 2.0 Adapter, i heard those just work,,, couldn't be any worse than now
[03:31] <metanil> i am upgrading my 7.10 to 8.10... it is taking whole lot of time at "cleaning up" process showing error/warning "/sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1 is not a symbolic link"... any help??
[03:31] <babolat> mike_e: how are u installing? ISO, Live CD, etc?

[03:33] <dfgas> nexuiz
[03:33] <mike_e> Yeah, I've tried a few different liveCDs and they haven't worked

[03:35] <mike_e> I never figured out why ubuntu crashed when it did
[03:35] <babolat> mike_e: could you shoot me with that error prompt again
[03:35] <thomas> !ubottu
[03:35] <mike_e> which one? with fdisk?
[03:35] <PapaFD> Trying to share Drive /dev/sdb  with smaba  what should the fstab line for the drive look like so all have read write access to it?
[03:35] <babolat> mike_e: you're asking about installation stoppoing short at 48%, right?
[03:35] <Marce_> Hello, i want to replace all the "/" with a "-" in a string in bash. any help? :D
[03:36] <mike_e> oh yeah, also there are problems with detecting the hard drive
[03:36] <bryan> BioDeath
[03:36] <mike_e> gparted doesn't detect any deviices
[03:36] <Morglet> Any networking devs around?  We diagnosed a bug in /sbin/ifup with macd, I guess it should be reported.
[03:36]  * arvind_khadri fixed my breaking X myself
[03:36] <babolat> mike_e: is it mounted?
[03:36] <mike_e> and fdisk says "unable to open /dev/sda"
[03:36] <thomas> mike_e: are u trying to mount an NTFS filesystem?
[03:36] <Marce_> Hello, i want to replace all the "/" with a "-" in a string in bash. any help? :D
[03:36] <mike_e> NTFS?
[03:37] <testsubject_> is there any way I can run Amarok at the same time as GTA:SA in Wine?
[03:37] <thomas> nevermind then, lol
[03:37] <mike_e> no, the hard drive doesn't seem to be mounted
[03:37] <thomas> NTFS = new technology file system
[03:37] <babolat> mike_e: ntfs is the default filesys for xp and vista
[03:37] <mike_e> no, haha not at all
[03:37] <Refoyl> I use apt-mirror to mirror several distributions (hardy, gutsy) and architectures (i386, amd64).  The clean.sh that each run of apt-mirror creates seems to include files that are necessary for the other three mirrors, so I dare not run it.  How can I get a clean.sh that only includes files not needed for any distribution?
[03:37] <thomas> what kind of FS?
[03:37] <babolat> mike_e: you'll hav to mount it before gparted
[03:37] <Marce_> Hello, i want to replace all the "/" with a "-" in a string in bash. any help? :D
[03:37] <anabol> anyone know how to find through command line all local machines on a network?
[03:37] <hydrogen> Marce_: #bash
[03:37] <thomas> babolat: dont u get tired of typing peoples usernames everytime u type a message?
[03:37] <mike_e> how do I mount the hard drive?
[03:38]  * sebsebseb   vncviewer -listen my ip address?   and then I can connect to the other persons computer that is running VNC.  I think that's it?
[03:38] <babolat> mike_e: try mounting it and get to its properties tab to see its filesys
[03:38] <mike_e> "mount /dev/sda"?
[03:38] <Marce_> hydrogen, sed and awk are too much
[03:38] <SeaPhor> amenado, there's just gotta be 1 simple little thing wrong in a config file somewhere, it works then it doesn't, is driving me mad
[03:38] <babolat> tomas: probably but i want things easy on the eyes ;)
[03:38] <thomas> mike_e: cant you use the command: sudo mount /dev/XXXX /mount/temp
[03:38] <babolat> thomas: probably but i want things easy on the eyes ;)
[03:38] <mike_e> give it a shot
[03:38] <Marce_> hydrogen, i only wanna do that.
[03:38] <arvind_khadri> mike_e, sudo mount /dev/sdax /mount/point
[03:38] <hydrogen> Marce_: #bash
[03:38] <babolat> mike_e: yep.. or just go to Computer
[03:38] <thomas> babolat: i dont get how that makes it easier on the eyes... in IRSSI it shows ur name in yellow, everything else is white. am i lacking in IRC knowledge?
[03:39] <Marce_> hydrogen: what?
[03:39] <Morglet> babolat: the Properties tabs all say computer:/// in 8.04, for me anyway
[03:39] <hydrogen> Marce_: join #bash
[03:39] <mike_e> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda/mount/temp
[03:39] <hydrogen> its not on topic for this channel
[03:39] <mike_e> mount: can't find /dev/sda/mount/temp in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[03:39] <Marce_> hydrogen: ah sorry
[03:39] <Marce_> hydrogen: :)
[03:39] <thomas> mike_e: u forgot a space.
[03:39] <babolat> mike_e: if its in "Computer" you should be able to mount it from thre
[03:39] <kumarphilly> hello
[03:39] <kumarphilly> anyone try one of those free ipod things here?
[03:39] <arvind_khadri> mike_e, the mount points should be created
[03:39] <PapaFD> Trying to share Drive /dev/sdb  with smaba  what should the fstab line for the drive look like so all have read write access to it?
[03:40] <thomas> yes...
[03:40] <babolat> thomas: i'm on pidgin so
[03:41] <hydrogen> Marce_: though, export VAR="///"; echo ${VAR//\//-}
[03:41] <hydrogen> will do what you want
[03:41] <thomas> mike_e: try this first, make the mount point by typing: 'sudo mkdir /mount/temp' then do 'sudo chmod 777 -R /mount/temp' then try to mount it using 'sudo mount /dev/XXXXX /mount/temp'
[03:41] <mike_e> thomas: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda /mount/temp
[03:41] <mike_e> mount: mount point /mount/temp does not exist
[03:41] <mike_e> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mount/temp
[03:42] <mike_e> mount: mount point /mount/temp does not exist
[03:42] <FloodBot1> mike_e: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:42] <mike_e> in "computer" there's the filesystem
[03:42] <thomas> mike_e: did u make the directory with mkdir?
[03:42] <kumarphilly> easy there mike
[03:42] <arvind_khadri> mike_e thomas, its /mnt
[03:42] <mike_e> no
[03:42] <thomas> arvind_khadri: its not really location specific, u can mount anything anywhere.
[03:43] <laeg> why doesn't ubuntu update azureus in the repo? they're on 3.x and the repo has 2.5
[03:43] <thomas> arvind_khadri: oh my bad, im too used to Mandriva... i meant /mnt. LOL
[03:43] <Odd-rationale> Does launchpad openid work? How do I use it?
[03:43] <arvind_khadri> thomas, with the mount points existing :)
[03:43] <BioDeath> are there any new and cool exciting apps or games for hardy that i should download im bored peeps
[03:43] <danbhfive> laeg: ubuntu updates software only every 6 months
[03:43] <thomas> arvind_khadri: LOL yeah, its a little late.
[03:43] <andre_pl> I want to attempt to write a driver for the rock band drum kit, never written a driver before. where a good place to start?
[03:43] <mike_e> how do I make the directory with mkdir?
[03:43] <arvind_khadri> thomas, :) better late than never
[03:43] <laeg> danbhfive: ty
[03:44] <BioDeath> what do u want to do with the rock band drum kit andre_pl
[03:44] <thomas> mike_e: instead, try this command first 'sudo mkdir /mnt/temp'
[03:44] <laeg> danbhfive: how come the update isn't in line with the distro update?
[03:44] <SeaPhor> amenado, well keep your eyes open for this issue, gotta be more than just me with it. no one else seems to have seen the "Unlock" part either
[03:44] <thomas> mike_e: dont use the ' though
[03:44] <DrifterSX> sup arvind_khadri
[03:44] <mike_e> okay did that
[03:45] <thomas> mike_e: ok now type 'sudo chmod 777 -R /mnt/temp'
[03:45] <mike_e> okay
[03:45] <thomas> mike_e: lastly, 'sudo mount /dev/XXXXXX /mnt/temp'
[03:45] <jack> hello, everytime I try to install something it says file not found. Can I get a link or someone to pastebin there sources.list?
[03:45] <DrifterSX> sudo apt-get install google-earth isnt working am i typing it wrong?? im on hardy...
[03:46] <mike_e> special device /dev/sda does not exist
[03:46] <theDtTvB2> Hello, how do I prevent Compiz Fusion to start with KDE 4?
[03:46] <thomas> mike_e: ok... you need to type the partition, you cant simply mount the drive.
[03:46] <DrifterSX> and it says it is reffered to by another package name fomr a different source?
[03:47] <thomas> mike_e: you need to try something like sda1, sda2, sda3 (hit tab once you type sda to see which partitions of sda u can mount)
[03:47] <mike_e> yeah
[03:47] <mike_e> it does the same thing
[03:47] <babolat> DrifterSX: isn't it in synaptic?
[03:47] <mike_e> there are no sda partitions in /dev/
[03:47] <jack> theDtTvB2: kill it then make sure it isn't running when you log off.
[03:47] <DrifterSX> oo maybe lol i didnt chk there yet...duuhhhhsky
[03:47] <mike_e> i.e. ls /dev | grep sda produces nothing
[03:47] <arvind_khadri> DrifterSX, hi
[03:47] <DrifterSX> yo yo
[03:47] <eboyjr> How do I remove unused packages?
[03:47] <schitzo> hi
[03:47] <schitzo> ??
[03:47] <thomas> mike_e: are you sure its sda then?
[03:47] <Schiz0|SD> Is there any downside to mounting everything with noatime?
[03:47] <clem> eboyjr: apt-get autoremove
[03:47] <DrifterSX> finally got skype through terminal nice and easy
[03:47] <jack> hello, everytime I try to install something it says file not found. Can I get a link or someone to pastebin there sources.list?
[03:47] <mike_e> yes
[03:48] <eboyjr> thanks
[03:48] <laeg> what's with most of the software in synaptic being out of date?
[03:48] <thomas> mike_e: what filesystem is it?
[03:48] <mike_e> not hda
[03:48] <thomas> laeg: i wish i knew too... im waiting for wine to update.
[03:48] <arvind_khadri> eboyjr, sudo apt-get autoclean to clean the cache of apt :)
[03:48] <mike_e> they *were* ext3
[03:48] <HorizonXP> I have a DV camcorder connected to my laptop's firewire port. How do I transfer video?
[03:48] <eboyjr> What _is_ an unused package, anyway?
[03:48] <babolat> thomas: i bet its ntfs
[03:48] <thomas> babolat: lol dont get me started
[03:48] <laeg> :(
[03:49] <babolat> thomas, mike_e: might want to try the ntfs packages
[03:49] <thomas> mike_e: why do you say were?
[03:49] <eboyjr> What _is_ an unused package, anyway?
[03:49] <CaptainMorgan> using printing in the Firefox browser... under the General tab, "PDF" is a great feature--- is it possible to change the default printed-to location instead of the /home/<user>/PDF/ folder ?
[03:49] <clem> eboyjr: a package installed as a dependency which doesn't need to be there anymore now that the packages needing it aren't there or don't need it anymore.
[03:49] <thomas> babolat: lol
[03:49] <hb> Grub is giving me an error 15 after an 8.04 alternate install.  I am using softraid but only for /home.  / is mounted on the primary boot device.  Is grub busted in 8.04?
[03:49] <mike_e> I had a root partition that was ext3
[03:49] <mike_e> and a swap partition
[03:49] <eboyjr> clem, Cool! Thanks.
[03:49] <mike_e> I know that because when I installed ubuntu that's what it said
[03:50] <arvind_khadri> hb, re-isntall grub ,the /home is a separate partition right
[03:50] <thomas> mike_e: ok try this 'mount -t ext3 /dev/sda /mnt/temp'
[03:50] <Schiz0|SD> Is there any downside to mounting everything with noatime? I don't care about when the last time a file is accessed, and I think it'll be easier on my HDD this way.
[03:50] <G__81> i ve installed ubuntu 8.04 and i ve a problem with the Graphics Card Driver. I use a NVidia GeForce 8400 M GS card and hence i installed the beta driver from nvidia.com so what happens is that is weird. after i install the driver and when i do gdm start the driver works but when i reboot the system the driver does not seem to work
[03:51] <G__81> the driver somehow does not seem to get loaded
[03:51] <thomas> mike_e: i meant sudo... 'sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda /mnt/temp'
[03:51] <arthur> has anybody had trouble with frostwire in hardy?
[03:51] <m0u5e> starcraft
[03:51] <m0u5e> oops
[03:51] <G__81> can someone help me with this issue ?
[03:51] <mike_e> it says special device /dev/sda doesn't exist
[03:51] <Werenerd> Hey all, Is it possible in GNOME to have a two lined taskbar like in KDE? I see these old screenshots with it, but nothing recent. Example here: http://toastytech.com/guis/rh8floppy.png
[03:51] <hb> arvind_khadri, yes / and /home arn't even on the same interface.  I've reinstalled the base system twice now with the same error.
[03:51] <MakGyver> how can I change the console font/resolution in the tty consoles?
[03:51] <dushich> #ubuntu-ru
[03:51] <babolat> G__81: does it make a difference if you used the one in the repos?
[03:52] <thomas> tell me what it says when you type 'sudo fdisk -l' (upload the output to pastebin.ca
[03:52] <clem> mike_e: "sudo fdisk -l" will give you a list of all your partitions
[03:52] <r00723r0> OK...
[03:52] <thomas> clem: wow you read my mind
[03:52] <r00723r0> I can't open programs through GNOME but I can run them in gnome-terminal.
[03:52] <mike_e> nothing comes out
[03:52] <r00723r0> For example, compiz wouldn't replace with the run dialog.
[03:52] <clem> thomas: :)
[03:52] <r00723r0> And Exaile wouldn't open either.
[03:52] <hb> arvind_khadri, if I install the standard 8.04 image without a softraid setup grub boots fine.  I only get error 15 when I use the alternate install and configure my software raid.
[03:52] <thomas> mike_e: there has to be an output
[03:52] <arvind_khadri> hb, ok seems like the grub on the alternate might be a toast.... use some other cd or other older versions of live cd and check
[03:52] <r00723r0> But both work with the gnome-terminal.
[03:52] <r00723r0> Any suggestions?
[03:52] <G__81> babolat, yes coz the latest beta driver alone works with my card thats a bug in Nvidia and this is the workaround
[03:52] <hb> hm
[03:53] <hb> i've got 7 still I'll try that
[03:53] <Werenerd> mike_e: I just joined and don't know your details. But did you just update to Hardy and lose an entire HD?
[03:53] <mike_e> there is no output, it lits nothing
[03:53] <r00723r0> Hmm.
[03:53] <mike_e> no, this problem happened before hardy came out
[03:53] <r00723r0> It works in the run dialog if I select "view in terminal".
[03:53] <r00723r0> Weird as hell.
[03:53] <babolat> mike_e: it either lists something or give u back an error...
[03:53] <arvind_khadri> hb, well alternate is the only one which gives option for setting raid
[03:53] <r00723r0> Anyone know anything about this?
[03:53] <ronin> hi hi hi
[03:53] <G__81> babolat, after i install the driver and when i start gdm start it works but when i reboot the system it does not
[03:53] <ronin> wassup
[03:53] <thomas> mike_e: u have to type sudo, you cant just type fdisk -l... 'sudo fdisk -l'
[03:53] <hb> arvind_khadri, yes I  was just trying to make that connection explictly
[03:53] <G__81> babolat, i guess i ve found out the problem too
[03:54] <r00723r0> Nobody?
[03:54] <Werenerd> mike_e: just out of curiosity... do you have the UUID's or the /dev/hd* paths in your fstab?
[03:54] <HorizonXP> I have a DV camcorder connected to my laptop's firewire port. How do I transfer video?
[03:54] <G__81> babolat, after i install it when i do lsmod | grep nvidia i get this
[03:54] <ronin> can somehelp me clear my problem???
[03:54] <mike_e> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l
[03:54] <mike_e> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$
[03:54] <G__81> nvidia               7113952  36
[03:54] <G__81> i2c_core               24832  1 nvidia
[03:54] <G__81> agpgart                34760  2 nvidia,intel_agp
[03:54] <mike_e> no, none of those in fstab
[03:54] <arvind_khadri> hb ok did you look up in the forums maybe someone would have has that issue
[03:54] <thomas> hmm
[03:54] <G__81> but when i reboot it i dont get these
[03:54] <CaptainMorgan> using printing in the Firefox browser... under the General tab, "PDF" is a great feature--- is it possible to change the default printed-to location instead of the /home/<user>/PDF/ folder ? I didn't see an option in any of the tabs to change this location....
[03:54] <G__81> i just get nvidia 0 and then agpgart nvidia,intel_agp
[03:54] <Werenerd> mike_e: you don't have either the UUID nor the paths???
[03:54] <MakGyver> I would like to change the boot resolution from the 600x400 or whatever it is to 1600x1200 how can I do this, I would also like when I hit CTRL+F1 to get the same resolution in that console, is this possible (of course it is, I just dont know how)
[03:55] <babolat> G__81: what was that card's name again?
[03:55] <G__81> NVidia GeForce 8400 M GS
[03:55] <clem> MakGyver: you can ask the boot option vga=ask
[03:55] <mike_e> no, I don't
[03:55] <hb> arvind_khadri, yea but the answers didn't really seem to relate.  it seemed most of the error 15 problems came from people who were installing using (webui?)  Ubuntu install from windows.  I'm installing from a fresh disk to a fresh disk.
[03:55] <babolat> G__81: un momento porfavor
[03:55] <MakGyver> clam ok thnx /boot?
[03:55] <G__81> its currently working but when i reboot the system something does not get loaded properly thats the issue
[03:55] <G__81> babolat, that means?
[03:56] <clem> MakGyver: in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:56] <babolat> G__81: one moment pls
[03:56] <G__81> ok
[03:56] <bmk789> my swap drive has hibernate data on it and the system wont automatically use it and i have no swap, how should i clear it and enable the swap?  i need it ungently
[03:56] <bmk789> urgently*
[03:56] <MakGyver> clam thx mate, appreciated
[03:56] <Werenerd> mike_e: you have to have something in your fstab that details where your partitions are. I would double check your HD's UUID and redo the fstab that way
[03:56] <clem> MakGyver: or even by typing "e" in grub itself to edit the line.. at boot time.
[03:56] <arvind_khadri> hb thats wubi :) ok i feel the alternate cd's grub might be a toast just check some other alternate cd ,if the problem persists then check up how you are setting the RAID
[03:56] <hb> arvind_khadri, the gentu forums said that the current version of grub might give that error if it's compiled with buggy cvflags or something like that.  their solution was pretty advanced and speaking bluntly, over my head atm.
[03:57] <mike_e> There seem to be no partitions
[03:57] <MakGyver> clem, I dont use grub it seems
[03:57] <MakGyver> this is a default 8.04 install
[03:57] <patifa> bmk789: Did you turn off the swap or what?
[03:57] <mike_e> what should "ls /etc/fstab' produce?
[03:57] <Werenerd> mike_e: so you are not in Ubuntu at the moment right?
[03:57] <mike_e> I'm in ubuntu liveCD
[03:57] <bmk789> patifa: no, i hibernated once and on every boot it says it cant read the swap partition because it has the filesystem type "suspend"
[03:57] <Werenerd> mike_e: that would produce nothing
[03:57] <r00723r0> Hi, GNOME is being gay. When I use the menu or run dialog to open programs, it doesn't work (but killall works well). However, everything can be run with the terminal, and the run dialog works if I select "view in terminal".
[03:57] <clem> MakGyver: you don't use grub??
[03:57] <arvind_khadri> hb, :) those are all the least cases ..we can ignore it at present
[03:57] <r00723r0> Any suggestions?
[03:57] <hb> arvuind_khadri, yea i'm loading 7.10 alternate as we speak.  just had to find the cd
[03:57] <thomas> mike_e: do this... 'ls /dev' and paste that to www.pastebin.ca and then send the link to this chat
[03:58] <babolat> G__81: found this. tell me if it helps :)  -->http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=644331
[03:58] <clem> MakGyver: a default install puts grub in your MBR.
[03:58] <arvind_khadri> hb, :) ok
[03:58] <MakGyver> clem, not sure what its using lol, its the default install (from the Live CD)
[03:58] <Werenerd> mike_e: the fstab is a text file. try gedit /etc/fstab
[03:58] <r00723r0> Anyone?
[03:58] <clem> MakGyver: yes, the very first boot menu.. right after the BIOS, that's grub.
[03:58] <Werenerd> mike_e: that will let you look at it without making any changes.
[03:58] <MakGyver> clem, /boot has no grub entries/folders
[03:58] <clem> MakGyver: oh...
[03:58] <mike_e> http://www.pastebin.ca/1006592
[03:59] <patifa> bmk789: Any way you could find out EXACTLY what the error is, so I can do research on the cases causing it?
[03:59] <G__81> babolat, envy does not work
[03:59] <frederic> !mpd
[03:59] <mike_e> unionfs / unionfs rw 0 0
[03:59] <babolat> G__81: how does it not work??
[03:59] <mike_e> tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nosuid,nodev 0 0
[03:59] <G__81> hence this workaround i am following by downloading the driver and installing it it works but when i reboot the system it does not
[03:59] <mike_e> is what fstab says
[04:00] <clem> MakGyver: maybe it's located elsewhere... I'm going to have to go (3:59am here). I'm sure someone will help. Good luck with this issue.
[04:00] <G__81> babolat, coz envy does not install the beta that might be the reason
[04:00] <Werenerd> mike_e: well that is the list of your /dev folder... is there something you wanted me to see?
[04:00] <MakGyver> clem, I will find it, its not life threatening thx anyhoew
[04:00] <frederic> !music player daemon
[04:00] <bmk789> well it will have the "Starting early crypto discs..." then i enter my password and it says it couldnt mount swap because filesystem type is suspend and it asks me to enter my password again and after i do it says the same thing and continues to boot with no swap
[04:00] <clem> MakGyver: no problem.
[04:00] <bmk789> patifa: ^
[04:00] <babolat> G__81: oh ok.. no need for the lip buddy.. another moment

[04:00] <revned> hello.  I just installed ubuntu 8.04 and I'm having trouble configuring the dual display with an nvidia card. I have two monitors of different make and model. Currently the default display is the smaller monitor but everytime I try to change the default monitor to the bigger screen, the changes do not take effect. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?
[04:00] <mike_e> the lack of any sda or hda is notable
[04:00] <Werenerd> mike_e: aah. well it was truncated. it stops at the P's
[04:01] <vsniner> I have a problem upgrading to 8.04 LTS from 7.10. The installer cannot find 5 files, and aborts. Is it possible to manually grab the .deb files or to change the download server?
[04:01] <Uplink> my MIRO keeps crashing every time i want to see a video :(
[04:01] <Lucroth> hello
[04:01] <Werenerd> mike_e: if you fstab only says tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nosuid,nodev 0 0 and thats it, you have a serious problem.
[04:01] <bmk789> patifa: nevermind, all i did was "sudo swapon /dev/vg1/swap" and now i have swap
[04:01] <G__81> babolat, i am missing something very small coz this driver works but after the restart there is something that gets not loaded
[04:01] <Lucroth> I'm having issues trying to get ubuntu running on my laptop
[04:01] <Lucroth>  Ubuntu seems to install fine, I start it up, GRUB loads, I start Ubuntu, loading bar finished all the way, screen goes black, then just shows a flashing underscore in the left corner for 5 or 6 seconds, then stops showing anything and does nothing from that point on
[04:01] <mike_e> werenerd: yeah I know I have a serious problem :P
[04:01] <Uplink> my MIRO keeps crashing every time i want to see a video :(
[04:01] <patifa> bmk789: ahh, great.  I was about to suggest you swapon'd the thing :)
[04:02] <Werenerd> mike_e: how are you even running?
[04:02] <Peddy> can someone please tell me where the exit button in the gnome panel's icon is stored?
[04:02] <satsu> I am setting up an ubuntu fileserver and I want to be sure it does not run out of disk space.  I would like to allow all the users to add as many files as they want with no quotas, but I want to limit the size of the directory they are uploading to.   How do I set a maximum size for a directory?
[04:02] <patifa> bmk789: if it doesn't work, just say so
[04:02] <mike_e> werenerd: liveCD
[04:02] <bmk789> patifa: ok thanks
[04:02] <babolat> G__81: probably but i can't get a hold of what it is.. darn
[04:02] <Werenerd> mike_e: well crap. then opening the fstab of the livecd will do nothing for you
[04:03] <mike_e> good to know
[04:03] <Werenerd> mike
[04:03] <Werenerd> mike_e: I just saw where you mentioned it earlier. you didn't direct it to me so I didn't see it. sorry
[04:03] <G__81> can someone here help me out with my NVidia Problem please?
[04:03] <damntourists> how does one get to the compiz preferences pane? i want to tweak my display
[04:04] <G__81> the Beta Driver from Nvidia.com works but when i reboot the system it does not work
[04:04] <babolat> G__81: what bios are u on?
[04:04] <Werenerd> OK, can you see your local hard drives at all? even as unmounted media in the /media folder?
[04:04] <G__81> babolat, its a Dell Inspiron 1520
[04:04] <vsniner> I have a problem upgrading to 8.04 LTS from 7.10. The installer cannot find 5 files, and aborts. Is it possible to manually grab the .deb files or to change the download server?
[04:04] <obione> hi there
[04:04] <Uplink> my MIRO keeps crashing every time i want to see a video :(
[04:04] <mike_e> werenerd: there is nothing in /media
[04:04] <Ashfire908> damntourists, you have to install the advanced config progoam (don't remeber the name off the top of my head)
[04:04] <ryugaka> dell inspiron wireless issue :D?
[04:04] <obione> does anyone have a video4linux tv card
[04:04] <obione> ?
[04:04] <damntourists> Ashfire908: :( ok
[04:04] <renegade420> heya
[04:05] <G__81> babolat,its not that complex coz the same driver works with fedora 8
[04:05] <mike_e> werenerd: also, fdisk can't open /dev/sda and gparted doesn't "detect any devices"
[04:05] <Dr_willis> obione,  Lots of tv tuner cards options for linux. the #mythbuntu guys  use a wide varity of them also.
[04:05] <mike_e> presumably because /dev/sda isn't mounted
[04:06] <G__81> i am quite desparate for this
[04:06] <thompa> flash is not working in 64
[04:06] <babolat> G__81: and no error prompts on bootup or file loading?
[04:06] <G__81> no
[04:06] <obione> Dr_willis tnks
[04:06] <Werenerd> mike_e: well Gparted should detect any local drives/partitions. Mounted or not. Have you physically checked the drives? Did you add one, or remove one?
[04:06] <deltar> for ryugaka: I can help you
[04:06] <renegade420> I am running Ubuntu 7.10 on my Asus Eee PC.  Whenever I try to open an avi file with vlc or Mplayer these programs crash, is there anything I can do?
[04:06] <hb> Is it true that adobe just let flash go open source?
