[11:59] <Slart> Sorcererbob: what kind of sound card are you using?
[11:59] <Sorcererbob> integrated one. I have the G31 chipset
[11:59] <Slart> kestutis: we haven't actually counted.. give it a try
[11:59] <Slart> Sorcererbob: is that a nvidia motherboard?
[11:59] <Sorcererbob> its a gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L
[12:00] <quibbler> kestutis, Amarok

[12:02] <sofros> how to know the the size of files and subdirectoies within a specified directory?
[12:02] <Sorcererbob> Slart, is that what you were looking for?
[12:03] <kestutis> but i can't find where to add url:
[12:03] <kestutis> http://www.smoothbeats.com/listen.pls
[12:03] <Sorcererbob> sofros, ls -la
[12:03] <Slart> Sorcererbob: yes, that was it.. I'm googling at the moment
[12:03] <Sorcererbob> kk
[12:03] <federico> adsa
[12:04] <mrwes> selinuxium then I'm stumbed...sorry
[12:04] <selinuxium> mrwes: No worries... All a bit of a trail...
[12:04] <selinuxium> :)
[12:04] <sofros> Sorcererbob, ls does not show the size of sub-directories, just the size of FILES!
[12:05] <Sorcererbob> too true
[12:05] <quibbler> kestutis, go to music-new internet radio pasye the url
[12:05] <iSchadow> can anyone explain to me why pressing the middle mouse button redirects me to... touch.com?

[12:06] <gbear14275> anyone here know about wireless networks?
[12:06] <damo22> im a musician, im wondering whether i should fork out for a macbook pro or build a pc... what is the best software for audio production? i have a firewire audio interface already, i just want to know if i should go mac or pc?
[12:07] <Trijntje> !ask|gbear14275
[12:07] <Jenius> Yes
[12:07] <kestutis>  for me now, too.
[12:07] <sofros> how to know the the size of files and SUB-DIRECTORIES within a specified directory? command "ls -l" just show the size of files!
[12:07] <Broly> damo22,  i think your best bet on that question would be a muscians forum.... like harmony-central
[12:08] <quibbler> kestutis, :)
[12:08] <kestutis> Could I use Photoshop with Ubuntu? :)
[12:08] <Sorcererbob> sofros you can't use "ls -la *" ?
[12:08] <gbear14275> Trijntje: alas, you are right.  Wondering if its possible to use a wireless router to act as a bride and a router at the same time.  What I am wondering is if I have an incoming internet connection via my cable modem but also connect to my neighbors wireless access point could I reap the benefits of two cable modems?
[12:08] <Slart> Sorcererbob: hmm.. seems there are a lot of problems with the intel sound chips of that family.. didn't find anyone complaining about stuttering though..
[12:09] <quibbler> kestutis, with wine,but you have Gimp which is very good
[12:09] <Slart> sofros: du
[12:09] <Sorcererbob> Slart, I started googling too. And I found a couple which are vaguely related. Like one with the same chip said that the startup sound stutters (which mine does) but nothing else
[12:09] <kestutis> Gimp is not as good as Photoshop. or would you disgree with me?
[12:09] <gbear14275> Trijntje: got any ideas?
[12:10] <quibbler> kestutis, I agree but for me (not a pro) it is fine
[12:10] <Sorcererbob> similar. I don't use the powerful features in PS. Gimp works fine for me
[12:11] <sofros> Sorcererbob: i mean total size of sub-directories, not size of files in it
[12:11] <Sorcererbob> sofros, what are you trying to accomplish with this?
[12:11] <kestutis> but actually it's possible to use Photoshop with Wine, isn't it?
[12:11] <Trijntje> gbear14275, i'm not that good with network, i have no idea. But i think its not realy a moral thing to do anyhow
[12:13] <quibbler> sofros, try Accessories-Disk Usage Analyzer
[12:13] <MikeH> Something is driving me mad, there seems to be a "feature" where by when I change windows/workspace it automatically moves my mouse to the active window?
[12:13] <MikeH> Where can I find this setting?
[12:13] <sofros> Slart: unfortunately, "du" shows all subdirectories at all level, i just want to know the size of sub-directories at level 1
[12:14] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> What do i need to get to make apache2 able to use php?
[12:14] <quibbler> kestutis, look here: http://wiki.winehq.org/AdobePhotoshop
[12:14] <sofros> Sorcererbob: just want to know the stats at level 1 within a folder
[12:14] <Slart> sofros: of course you've checked the man page, right?
[12:15] <NightVisio> is it possible to boot Windows XP that's installed in, assume, /dev/sda2, from an emulator?
[12:15] <sofros> quibbler: i think this can achieved via the basic commands
[12:15] <Yonibie> Hi all..
[12:15] <Yonibie> My primary computer is an old one (6 years old, 2.4ghz + 2gb of ram ddr2) It based Vista OS.
[12:16] <sofros> Slart: don't see an option for my need
[12:16] <NightVisio> 6 years old and DDR2?
[12:16] <NightVisio> wtf?
[12:16] <thorny_sun> how do i get a more recent version of dpkg on my hardy?  i need >1.14.20 when i have 1.14.16 ( i need to fulfill the dependency from this: https://launchpad.net/~vim-ubuntu/+archive
[12:16] <Yonibie> ype, what is the problem with it?
[12:17] <Slart> sofros: take a look at --max-depth or --summarize
[12:17] <syntax\> how do i change my splash screen and gdm theme?
[12:18] <kestutis> how to check if the particular port was opened?
[12:18] <Yonibie> Anyway I want to install on my server via VMware Ubntu (WITHOUT GUI!!) with apache2, perl, & mail server
[12:18] <Sorcererbob> Slart, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-244624.html this is possibly it too. I did notice I had to turn my speakers up and crank the levels to get the same loudness as I was expecting. But I didn't think it would cause crackling (although it makes sense that it could be related)
[12:18] <syntax\> kestutis: netsat -l? im not really sure tho. hihi
[12:18] <Yonibie> Do you know if those application requaired alot of ram cpu perfomance? I'm using the mail server for my own account only (max of 100 in & out mails) + web for monitoring..
[12:19] <sofros> Slart: nice, but "du --max-depth=1" just show the sub-directories, not the FILES!
[12:19] <Slart> Sorcererbob: ah.. there were a lot of posts about crackling... but that post is over a year old.. but it might still be the same bug
[12:19] <Yonibie> As smtp server I'm using (& currently configuring postfix), what is your suggestion for pop3\imap services?
[12:20] <KoolD> syntax: to change gdm checkout system>admin>logon window then go to local tab
[12:20] <hspaans> Yonibie: dovecot
[12:20] <Slart> sofros: -a
[12:21] <Slart> sofros: from line 10 or something in the man file..  "write counts for all files, not just directories"
[12:22] <sofros> Slart: just want to know size of files at the same level with sub-directories, not within them
[12:23] <bullgard4> Slart: I have not yet found out what --  in the light blue status line of 'most' means.
[12:24] <Mal3ko> could you please tell me the command for installing perl "DBD-mysql" module?
[12:24] <Mal3ko> been googling for that since this morning but no avail
[12:24] <Slart> bullgard4: have you tried pressing 'l' when reading a file in most?
[12:24] <Slart> bullgard4: it should change it to '-*'
[12:25] <hspaans> Mal3ko: start synaptic en search for it
[12:25] <Anacranom> sofros, have you tried ls -l | more and ls -l | less  ?
[12:25] <Slart> bullgard4: l is for scroll locking.. if you have more than one file open all the files that are locked scroll together when you move up down..
[12:25] <yellowtape> Hey all! I'm hoping someone can help me out here. My Lenovo 3000 N200 laptop running Ubuntu 8.04 was working fine last night. I suspended it when I went to bed. When I woke up this morning and resumed it, I had no eth0 device. I've restarted /etc/init.d/networking and rebooted the laptop, but 'ifconfig' still doesn't list eth0. I'm connecting via wireless now. Could someone please help me out with this...?
[12:25] <bullgard4> Slart: I confirm that pressing 'l' changes it to '-*'.
[12:26] <Trijntje> can someone provide some pointers to how the gnome login 'works'? Login is taking 20+ seconds, and i want to find out what is taking so long.
[12:26] <sofros> Anacranom: it does not show the size of directories, just files!
[12:26] <bullgard4> Slart: Ok, thank you for explaining.
[12:26] <rww> !dvd > rww
[12:27] <hspaans> Trijntje: install bootchart and see what cause the delay
[12:27] <Slart> sofros: what is wrong with the output from du --max-depth 0 -a ?
[12:27] <hspaans> Trijntje: http://blogs.gnome.org/gpoo/2005/08/12/a-graph-of-gnome-session/ <-- this is a nice starter
[12:27] <rww> hspaans, Trijntje: bootchart stops charting when gdm activates, so it won't help
[12:28] <sofros> Slart: thank you, that works, but how to sort all the items, by name for example?
[12:28] <Slart> bullgard4: the first dash doesn't mean anything (yes, I've checked the source).. if you really want to see it you can grep for "MOST:" in the sources.. there's only one line
[12:28] <hspaans> rww: read the page before you comment
[12:28] <kestutis> how to remove password of root user?
[12:28] <rww> hspaans: Yeah, I just noticed that. Sorry.
[12:29] <hspaans> rww: np
[12:29] <bullgard4> Slart: So I am very content with your helpful information. --
[12:29] <Slart> bullgard4: you're welcome
[12:29]  * yellowtape wiggles his confused eyebrows, wondering where his eth0 went
[12:30] <Mal3ko> hspaans, my ubuntu has no gui
[12:31] <Mal3ko> could you please tell the package name?
[12:31] <Tekno> ubuntu-desktop
[12:31] <hspaans> Mal3ko: try : apt-cache search dbd mysql
[12:31] <Mal3ko> DBD::mysql
[12:31] <Slart> sofros: you can pipe it through "sort".. "du --max-depth 1 -a | sort"
[12:31] <lesshaste> when I upgraded cupsys I get lots of lines like
[12:31] <lesshaste> scrollkeeper_extended_cl.xml:4947: parser error :
[12:32] <lesshaste> is this known?
[12:32] <Slart> sofros: "sort" can sort on all kinds of stuff.. man sort for more info
[12:32] <Slart> sofros: the switch -k might be useful
[12:32] <hspaans> lesshaste: you use an official ubuntu package from the same release?
[12:32] <lesshaste> hspaans: it is all official
[12:32] <lesshaste> hspaans: I just did apt-get install upgrade
[12:33] <lesshaste> Preparing to replace cupsys 1.3.7-1ubuntu3.1 (using .../cupsys_1.3.7-1ubuntu3.2_i386.deb)
[12:33] <lesshaste> that's the previous line
[12:33] <hspaans> lesshaste: you release was and is 8.04?
[12:34] <lesshaste> hspaans: yes
[12:34] <hspaans> lesshaste: create a bugreport please
[12:35] <lesshaste> hspaans: hmm.. well is this going to be a log anywhere?
[12:35] <lesshaste> hspaans: otherwise it's just a message that scrolled off the screen
[12:36] <lesshaste> hi less !
[12:36] <lesshaste> less: you should commit yourself to what you want less of, like me.
[12:37] <silv3r_m001> hi there
[12:37] <lesshaste> hi silv3r_m001
[12:37] <silv3r_m001> i am looking for a ascii text editor
[12:37] <lesshaste> silv3r_m001: emacs?
[12:37] <lesshaste> silv3r_m001: vi?
[12:37] <Slart> silv3r_m001: vi? nano? pico?
[12:37] <Trijntje> rww, hspaans: It is just about loging in to gnome, for the moment i dont care how long it takes to boot
[12:37] <silv3r_m001> apart from vi and emacs
[12:37] <silv3r_m001> somethin like kate
[12:37] <Flannel> silv3r_m001: try nano
[12:37] <Slart> silv3r_m001: or gedit, editra, mousepad
[12:37] <Slart> !editor
[12:37] <jacky> anyone here used 'liveusb' ?
[12:37] <silv3r_m001> Slart: gedit is ascii ?
[12:37] <lesshaste> silv3r_m001: turns out we can answer question like that :)
[12:38] <Flannel> silv3r_m001: what do you mean by ascii?
[12:38] <Slart> silv3r_m001: or do you really want an ASCII editor? not many editors handle only ascii
[12:38] <kestutis> can anybody explain me again about root user?
[12:38] <Slart> silv3r_m001: plain text is not the same as ascii
[12:38] <Slart> !root | kestutis
[12:38] <silv3r_m001> Flannel: actually i copy pasted some php code in kate which gave strange errors and when opened in vi it showed special chars which kate showed as space
[12:39] <lesshaste> hmm.. this scrollkeeper thing is curious...
[12:39] <lesshaste> now I get
[12:39] <Trijntje> lol, ubottu is funny ;)
[12:39] <lesshaste> /var/lib/scrollkeeper/es/scrollkeeper_extended_cl.xml:10136: parser error : Extra content at the end of the document

[12:39] <allsystemsarego> silv3r_m001, try bluefish
[12:39] <Flannel> silv3r_m001: both vim and kate should both be able to handle unicode.
[12:42] <hspaans> Trijntje: read the page it will tell you what is happening when you login so you know where to look
[12:43] <hspaans> Trijntje: since Linux has no dtrace this can be handy instead of guessing
[12:43] <sartak_> How well does Firestarter do its job?
[12:43] <hspaans> sartak_: firestarter development is dead since 2005
[12:43] <raisin> I am trying to setup grub-gfxboot on ubuntu intrepid ibex and i'm having weird errors.. while on hardy i used version 0.97-5, on intrepid only version 0.97-36 works and grant me with a "'invalid file format'" error message when booting and gets me to a text based grub. I've tried several message files and none seem to work, can anyone point me in the right direction?
[12:43] <thorny_sun> please-- i'm at my wits end-- i need more recent vim version on my hardy to avoid major blocking bug-- i found a source for a more recent vim but it requires a more recent dpkg-- but I'm not able to find a source for that-- can anyone please help
[12:44] <sartak_> hmmm
[12:44] <sartak_> is there a firewall you would suggest to me
[12:44] <sartak_> ?
[12:44] <hspaans> !ufw | sartak_
[12:44] <hspaans> sartak_: search for ufw
[12:45] <sartak_> I freaking love linux!
[12:45] <weatherkid> thorny_sun: try sudo apt-get update than try installing it

[12:46] <ActionParsnip> or snort, Anacranom
[12:46] <sartak_> I found Gui-ufw is that right?
[12:46] <sartak_> Hmmm Endian?   I will look into it I have a couple spare boxes
[12:46] <weatherkid> !Gui-ufw
[12:46] <thorny_sun> weatherkid: not sure what you mean-- install it from where?
[12:46] <weatherkid> !gui-ufw

[12:47] <Anacranom> ActionParsnip, yes, and working on that project now ;-)
[12:49] <Seveas> bonjour
[12:49] <veltsu> funny thing happened yesterday after I installed the restricted-extras package for ubuntu, wanting to get my flash work: It also uninstalled a couple of packages which apparently were there to make my soundcard work. Long story short, now my flash is not working and also sound is missing. Good times
[12:49] <quibbler> ActionParsnip, try gufw
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> veltsu: are you on 64bit?
[12:50] <Seveas> veltsu, so now you're making your video drivers disappear? :)
[12:50] <veltsu> ActionParsnip, no, I'm on 32 bit
[12:50] <SuNDeC> hi
[12:50] <veltsu> Seveas, yeah, that's the logical move now I suppose :)
[12:50] <Seveas> veltsu, maybe wifi first, if you use it :)
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> veltsu: uninstall all flash thins you have installed, then: sudo apt-gte install flashplayer-nonfree
[12:51] <hspaans> veltsu: the processor is a better option
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> *apt-get
[12:52] <veltsu> Seveas, I struggled to get my wifi working for a few weeks so I'd rather keep it for a while. Besides, if my wifi goes, I can't get any more good suggestions about what to do next. :) hspaans, I could fine tune the processor with a sledgehammer right about now
[12:52] <bonhoffer> my ubuntu box takes around 20 minutes to startup with the error CIFS VFS: No response fro cmd 50 mid 29887 Starting anac(h)ronistic cron anacron
[12:53] <weatherkid> !dpkg
[12:53]  * Seveas hands veltsu a pickaxe, chainsaw and sledgehammer
[12:53] <veltsu> Actionparsnip, I uninstalled the restricted-extras already. I also installed that flashplayer-nonfree as well yesterday but it didn't make my flash work, hence the restricted-extras. I'll uninstall all flash thingies I can find..
[12:53] <lesshaste> hi.. I am trying to set up printing... I have download a .ppd and run it's install script.. what do I need to do now to get printing to work to my local postscript printer?
[12:53] <Seveas> veltsu, especially, get rid of swfdec and gnash.
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> veltsu: stuff like gnash if you have it installed
[12:53]  * veltsu thanks Seveas
[12:54] <veltsu> Seveas, ActionParsnip, gnash sounds very familiar. I do believe I have it installed
[12:54] <veltsu> can I use my chainsaw to remove it?
[12:54] <Seveas> veltsu, apt-get may cause less collateral damage than the chainsaw, I recommend that
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> veltsu: rip it out, if youo have more than 1 flash plugin they will fight
[12:55] <Seveas> veltsu, also: apt-get install asr-manpages; man chainsaw
[12:55] <Caesi> hullo.. how do I install Ubuntu Studio on Ubuntu 8.10 ? :)
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> !studio
[12:55] <Caesi> thnx
[12:56] <chazco> Hi.. how can I mount an S/FTP location in 8.10? The "Connect to Server" utility seems to open the root folder of the server (for both SFTP and FTP) - but connecting via gFtp or sftp works... Any ideas?
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> veltsu: when you have installed the flashplayer-nonfree use: mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins; cd ~/.mozilla/plugins; ln -s :/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> veltsu: which should then make you ok
[12:57] <kebomix> hello , i have problem with video , video colors don't appear Good
[12:57] <lesshaste> how do I set up a new local cups printer?
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> kebomix: one thing at a time
[12:58] <Jianaran> Hi everyone, new convert to Ubuntu and Linux in general here. I'm trying to set up a programming environment to learn C++, and to cut a long story short I have to install a .rpm file. the Terminal says that this is for Red Hat, and as a debian user I should use alien -Anyone care to explain?
[12:58] <Slart> !alien | Jianaran
[12:59] <Slart> Jianaran: make a note of those words.. "dangerous" and "unsupported"
[12:59] <Seveas> Jianaran, try to find a .deb file instead...
[12:59] <bonhoffer> wow google doesn't even have anything on
[12:59] <bonhoffer> CIFS VFS: No response from cmd Starting anac(h)ronistic cron anacron
[12:59] <Seveas> what are you installing Jianaran ?
[12:59] <cesarazevedo> hello everybody!
[12:59] <cesarazevedo> anybody from Brazil?
[12:59] <Slart> !br | cesarazevedo
[12:59] <Seveas> bonhoffer, that's because that line has 2 different errors in one line. Skip the 'Starting...anacron' bit
[13:00] <Jianaran> Seveas: The java SDK. It came in a bin file, which unpacked itself into a .rpm. There was another .bin I downloaded along with it with an identical name, but without -rpm.bin at the end; should I use that one instead?
[13:00] <veltsu>  mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins; cd ~/.mozilla/plugins; ln
[13:00] <Seveas> Jianaran, get rid of the rpm file
[13:00] <MikeH> Is there a form of "widget" frame work for gnome that works with html/cs/javascript type widgets, instead of gdesklet's xml/python setup?
[13:00] <bonhoffer> my ubuntu box takes around 20 minutes to startup with the error CIFS VFS: No response from cmd 50 mid 29887
[13:00] <cesarazevedo> Hello Scarey
[13:00] <Seveas> and apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> veltsu: you need a bit more to othe ln command
[13:01] <ActionParsnip>  ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[13:01] <mcn> oi
[13:02] <Jianaran> OK, I'm apt-getting sun-java6-jdk. What should I do with it when it's done?
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> !codecs > kebomix
[13:02] <mick02> Afternoon folks. A quick question for anyone out there that can help. I'm running Windows XP through VirtualBox in Ubuntu. Everytime I try to start up VirtualBox after a shutdown of my PC I have to run the a series of commands in the Terminal to get it to work. I was wondering what would be the best way to write a script that will run the commands on after the other waiting for the first command to complete before running the next line.
[13:03] <Slart> mick02: what kind of commands?
[13:03] <Slart> mick02: haven't had those problems with my windows xp vm-install
[13:04] <dli> recommend a good GUI tool for gphoto2? frontend?
[13:04] <Jianaran> Also, probably a very silly question, but what's the small circle in the top left corner of every window, just to the right of the icon? (I'm using Xubuntu)
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> mick02: you could put them in a simple shell script and have it autorun
[13:04] <blah569> Say I have a user entitled "serveradmin," how would I change it
[13:04] <blah569> the home directory to var/www *
[13:04] <mick02> Slart when I try to run the VM I get a series of errors. I've to run sudo tunctl -t tap1 -u mick02
[13:04] <dli> Jianaran, spreading the window to all desktop?
[13:05] <mick02> Then I've to run sudo chown root.vboxusers /dev/net/tun
[13:05] <Jianaran> Ah, thanks
[13:05] <Jianaran> Anyway, so I got the sun-java6-jdk; what do I do with it?
[13:06] <Slart> mick02: are you using something special with your vm? what is the /dev/net/tun ?
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> mick02: have a script with your list of commands then have the last command as running the virtualbox
[13:06] <blah569> How do I change the home directory of a user account in Terminal?
[13:06] <Slart> mick02: but I'm just curious.. of course you can create a script with those commands and run it when you log in
[13:07] <Slart> mick02: the sudo part might ask you for a password but that's it
[13:07] <mick02> Slart, tun is the network tunnel that allows the XP virtual machine to access the network I think
[13:07] <dli> blah569, sudo usermod -d <folder> foo
[13:07] <blah569> dli:  Thanks
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> blah569: if you are moving it to a different partition, move the folder to the new location and symlink the new folder
[13:07] <Slart> mick02: oh.. NAT isn't enough? you want incoming connections too?
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> !codecs > kebomix
[13:08] <Slart> mick02: because I can browse the net, do updates etc without any of that
[13:08] <Jianaran> Also, not Ubuntu specific, but what sort of IRC client would  you advise for Linux? I use mIRC on windows, and Pidgin seems pretty clumsy compared to a dedicated client
[13:08] <Slart> !irc | Jianaran
[13:09] <Slart> Jianaran: xchat is pretty similar to mIRC
[13:09] <mick02> Yeah I need the tun interface to be up so I can join the VM to the company network etc
[13:09] <Jianaran> Cheers, I'll try it
[13:09] <maltem> Jianaran: I'm using xchat (xchat-gnome, to be specific)
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> Jianaran: xchat is close in clean looks plus you wont have the mirc nag
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> Jianaran: you can also get xchat for windows too
[13:10] <SuNDeC> Jianaran: irssi the light-weight console-based irc client
[13:10] <benovic> what to do if ubuntu doesnt get the right resolution for my external monitor? once plugged I only want the external monitor to run in 1680x1050. if the laptop is unplugged the normal screen should run with default 1280x800. I'd be glad for a link :)
[13:10] <maltem> Is someone else affected by the network-manager bug that it won't reconnect after suspend? Any workaround known (my ifconfig fu fails me)? There are numerous launchpad tickets that look related...
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> benovic: what graphics card?
[13:10] <benovic> intel GMA 945
[13:11] <Tekno> hello
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> maltem: try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[13:11] <Tekno> what is terminal command to suspend or hibernate
[13:11] <bo> anybody known howto install adempiere
[13:11] <maltem> ActionParsnip: tried that, didn't help
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> benovic: i think its an xorg.conf thing
[13:11] <benovic> ActionParsnip: I have urandr installed, but that does not do the job
[13:12] <Jianaran> Anyway, so going back to my original issue: I'm trying to set up a C++ environment, and I've now used apt-get to get sun-java6-jdk. I've agreed to its terms and conditions; what do I do now?
[13:12] <NAZAuy> waooo
[13:12] <blah569> Is it possible to give "serveradmin" full permission?  777  I'm using vsftpd, and it uses local users.
[13:12] <maltem> Jianaran: why are you installing the Java jdk for C
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> benovic: http://thegrieve.co.uk/?p=37
[13:12] <maltem> er, for C++?
[13:12] <sartak_> okie UFW is installed
[13:12] <Jianaran> I was told to use Eclipse
[13:12] <sartak_> how can I test it
[13:12] <sartak_> ?
[13:12] <Jianaran> It needs the Java SDK base, apparently
[13:13] <lesshaste> how do I set up a generic postscript printer? I can't see postscript as an option under "generic" in  the print dialog
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> maltem: you could rmmod <networking module> then modprobe it back in
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> maltem: suspend is a real pain to get nice
[13:13] <maltem> Jianaran: oh ok, then I'd try and install eclipse, no?
[13:13] <benovic> ActionParsnip: i have found the dualscreen solutions, but I think it doesnt help me with my problem since i only want to run one monitor at at time
[13:13] <benovic> well, ill check it out  :)
[13:14] <maltem> ActionParsnip: would I have to rmmod before suspend, or should it work after waking up?
[13:14] <Jianaran> maltem: Fair enough, and yes it works. I'd just expected a more visible notification tham something had happened. Thanks, everyone :)
[13:14] <EugenMayer> anybody in here, who could get any sound recording on intrepid with an thinkpad t60 ( intel HDA ) and get skype working?
[13:14] <bo> i have problem installing Adempiere, anybody can help!!!
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> maltem: i'd do it all after wakeup. but i dnt use suspend as I have better things to do in the 4 million days it takes to get spot on
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> !info adempiere
[13:15] <veltsu> ActionParsnip, thanks. We're making progress. Now the eg. Youtube videos play for a second or two until freezing. I uninstalled gnash and attempted to install flashplayer-nonfree again. ubuntu prompted that it's already the latest version
[13:16] <maltem> ActionParsnip: heh ok, thanks, I'll see how it'll work out
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> veltsu: then remove it, apt-get clean, then reinstall
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> bo: looks like you gotta compile it

[13:20] <ActionParsnip> Jianaran: xubuntu is the same as ubuntu, just a lighter interface, its all the same
[13:20] <weatherkid> EugenMayer's comment reworded: This channel is really special. It has alot of users in it but no one needs help 'cause everyone use Ubuntu Forums
[13:20] <HairyDude> cos it does, but fails to find the executable because of inconsistent capitalisation
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> banshee_: tar zxvf <tar file name>
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> banshee_: then read the readme in the extracted folder for compilation instructions
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> banshee_: but you dont install a tar.gz per se

[13:22] <dli> Roums, run: gnome-session-properties to disable it, and enable metacity (gnome wm)
[13:23] <maltem> Roums: or just uninstall compiz, that'll be quicker :)
[13:23] <SuNDeC> hi

[13:24] <ActionParsnip> lesshaste: what printer is it?
[13:25] <lesshaste> ActionParsnip: lexmark e250dn
[13:25] <EugenMayer> weatherkid: i did not want to offend you. I just was suprised, everytimg i got here with a question, it was useless asking. Comparing to gentoo or debian, this is really _bad_ as ubuntu should also attract casual users. Iam not a casual user, but this really pushes me forward to port back to gentoo or even go on debian. But nevermind, nice day

[13:43] <kestutis> but proccess is some file...
[13:43] <lesshaste> dli: err.. I don't mean cups.. looks like they had to use kprinter
[13:43] <Moose> Stormx2: I want to back up only the files that are in use, yes. I don't want to write 500 GB to the external, as it's only 250 GB in size.
[13:44] <Moose> As in, the currently used space. Not allocated, but used.

[13:44] <ssapphiree> in linux of course )
[13:44] <Stormx2> if your Windows partition was /media/win and your external was /media/ext, just do cp -av /media/win/* /media/ext

[13:44] <Moose> Thank you :)
[13:45] <sartak_> It wont even allow me to play 3d chess saying I have no 3d card, not accurate at all
[13:45] <lesshaste> ActionParsnip: right.. but what is the correct uri for the printer?
[13:45] <Stormx2> kestutis, what problem are you having exactly?
[13:45] <lesshaste> ActionParsnip: ipp://localhost is what I am using
[13:45] <dli> lesshaste, if it works for cups, it works everywhere

[13:53] <dli> lesshaste, find settings in windows then
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> ok then the cable is fine
[13:53] <Flynsarmy> ActionParsnip, it's installed though
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> !bluetooth
[13:54] <mrwes> lesshaste: and if you're using DHCP, you're going to run into problems with the IP not being static
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> lesshaste: you could jump into windows and look at the printer settings. it may surrender its IP address then
[13:56] <lesshaste> ok..printed 4 pages of test stuff by pressing the "continue" button on the printer :)
[13:56] <yogi192> how do i make eterm launch with fish shell, my default is bash, but i want to launch fish shell when i use Eterm, for learning purposes
[13:56] <mrwes> lesshaste: the printer has a menu correct? I bet you can set the IP from there
[13:56] <lesshaste> mrwes: I seem to have the address.
[13:56] <lesshaste> let me check
[13:56] <CPrompt^> lesshaste: what kind or printer is it?
[13:56] <rflet86> hey guys, building myself a livecd however having a hard time getting wireless up. How can I check which kernel module my ubuntu install is using?
[13:57] <skysurfer> hi all.has anyone ever used ubuntu ultimate ?
[13:57] <veltsu> hey all, is there a way to easily get a fresh instal of ubuntu. right now it seems like when I fix one problem, two new problems arise and I'm feeling like my head is exploding?
[13:57] <lesshaste> mrwes: grr.. I can't ping it!!
[13:57] <lesshaste> shouldn't I be able to ping the printer?
[13:57] <lesshaste> CPrompt^: lexmark e250dn
[13:57] <mrwes> yes
[13:57] <CPrompt^> lesshaste: yes you should be able to
[13:57] <mrwes> Oh....it's a lexmark???
[13:57] <mrwes> pppft
[13:57] <lesshaste> it clearly say address <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:57] <CPrompt^> ping it taht is
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> lesshaste: you can only ping it by ip
[13:58] <lesshaste>  ping <IP_ADDRESS> ,fails
[13:58] <mrwes> that is a class C address no?
[13:58] <CPrompt^> lesshaste: that's not right then.
[13:58] <dli> lesshaste, if you have not firewall there, you can nmap it also
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> lesshaste: 169.254 == dhcp fail
[13:58] <CPrompt^> lesshaste: you are not getting an ip address
[13:58] <lesshaste> great
[13:58] <lesshaste> I am not really sure we know what we are doing :)
[13:58] <CPrompt^> cable bad?
[13:58] <mrwes> it has to be an internet IP address
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> lesshaste: you need to set the ethernet port ou have to some ip address then set the ip of the printer to fall in the same net mask for communication to flow
[13:59] <CPrompt^> lesshaste: i do this all day long for my job
[13:59] <mrwes> er internal
[13:59] <lesshaste> CPrompt^: it works just fine in windows and it's not on a network
[13:59] <aleksN^> How can I save data on my ftpserver (internet) with ubuntu by terminal-commands?
[13:59] <lesshaste> it's just plugged directly into my pc
[13:59] <dli> lesshaste, what cable?
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> lesshaste: if yuo attatch it to a router it will be given correct info but you have it connected to your pc so its dhcp will fail
[13:59] <lesshaste> CPrompt^: ethernet
[13:59] <lesshaste> CPrompt^: that's promising :)
[13:59] <CPrompt^> lesshaste: it would have to be a crossover cable then
[13:59] <Flynsarmy> is there a graphical bluetooth program i can use on ubuntu?
[13:59] <CPrompt^> and you would have to give the printer a static ip.
[14:00] <dli> lesshaste, you have two ethernet cards in PC there?
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> yes as its a peer to peer connections
[14:00] <lesshaste> dli: one usb and one ethernet
[14:01] <lesshaste> dli: I mean one usb wireless ethernet.. so yes
[14:01] <lesshaste> CPrompt^: I just go back to the fact that in windows it simply works
[14:01] <lesshaste> CPrompt^: so the cable can't be wrnog
[14:01] <dli> lesshaste, find the IP of printer in windows
[14:02] <CPrompt^> lesshaste: you can print via ethernet cable straight from your computer to the printer?
[14:02] <dli> lesshaste, it sounds to me like printer gets IP by DHCP from windows
[14:02] <lesshaste> CPrompt^: exactly
[14:02] <dli> lesshaste, that's weird to me:(
[14:02] <CPrompt^> that doesn't sound right
[14:03] <CPrompt^> the printer would have to have the same ip range as your computer
[14:03] <lesshaste> well I am starting up another computer now
[14:03] <CPrompt^> otherwise it wouldn't know where to go
[14:03] <lesshaste> with windows on it
[14:03] <lesshaste> I'll plug in the printer and see how long it takes to set up :)
[14:03] <dli> lesshaste, plug the printer cable in your local router, or something where you can get DHCP
[14:03] <CPrompt^> plug it in using the ethernet correct?
[14:04] <lesshaste> using the boring ethernet cable
[14:04] <lesshaste> no router involved
[14:04] <dli> lesshaste, since you have wireless, plug the printer eth cable into the wireless router
[14:04] <CPrompt^> why not use the router?  it would make things much easier and that printer really should have a static ip
[14:04] <lesshaste> ok.. windows loading...
[14:04] <dli> lesshaste, startup the printer, then, it should get IP from router
[14:05] <CPrompt^> i'm with dli on this one.
[14:05] <lesshaste> the router is in the wrong room.. sorry to be so dull about it
[14:05] <lesshaste> windows is slooooow :)
[14:05] <lesshaste> still starting up :)
[14:05] <lesshaste> back in 10.. got to eat
[14:06] <Serafeim> what is npviewer?
[14:06] <yogi192> how do i make eterm launch with fish shell, my default is bash, but i want to launch fish shell when i use Eterm, for learning purposes
[14:06] <skysurfer> guys witch is better ubuntu 8.04 lts or 8.10 ?
[14:06] <dli> lesshaste, it's easy to set up your own dhcpd server also
[14:06] <D--> sky: depends how soon you want to upgrade
[14:07] <Serafeim> sky: 8.10 improved my graphic card and made possible the 3d effects
[14:07] <skysurfer> well I got a big book to go along with 8.04 but im now using 8.10 i cant see mutch diferance lol
[14:08] <skysurfer> must admit it looks nice in some parts but i got a big book and 8.04 up for grabs now lol
[14:08] <skysurfer> so if any one wants it give me a shout
[14:09] <tavi> hey who tell me aprogram that say the speed from the pc to modem and from modem to the internet?
[14:09] <CPrompt^> tavi: do you want to measure your bandwidth?
[14:10] <tavi> CPrompt^:  no the speed
[14:10] <tavi> CPrompt^: real time speed
[14:10] <CPrompt^> tavi:    right bandwidth speed
[14:10] <Serafeim> looking at syslogs i noticed APIC error on CPU. Is it something to worry about?
[14:10] <tavi> CPrompt^:  don´t know i do not handle well linux
[14:11] <tavi> CPrompt^:  and also looses , error , where the line is broken
[14:11] <CPrompt^> tavi: hmmm...can't help with all that i don't think.  http://www.speedtest.net/  does a pretty good job i think
[14:12] <tavi> well that is a speed test based on what you laod there
[14:12] <brolly81> I get this message when trying to share my folder
[14:12] <brolly81> 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied
[14:12] <brolly81> You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share.
[14:12] <brolly81> how do i fix this
[14:12] <tavi> CPrompt^:  that does´t say where is stop where iss low speed where is rapid speed
[14:12] <Flynsarmy> sigh, looks like i'll have ot use windows to connect to my phone
[14:13] <Serafeim> looking at syslogs i noticed APIC error on CPU. Is it something to worry about?
[14:14] <brolly81> i get this error when trying to share my folder

[14:15] <stefan1223> hallo, how can i update an ubuntu 8.10 desktop image?
[14:15] <fosco_> stefan1223: 8.10 is the most recent image, you do not need to update
[14:16] <yogi192> stefan1223: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade in terminal
[14:16] <stefan1223> fosco_ but i don't wan't to download 400 mb after installing, is it possible to update the packages in the image?
[14:16] <yogi192> for future use
[14:16] <fosco_> stefan1223: no
[14:17] <brolly81> i get denied when trying to share a file, how do i fix this
[14:17] <stefan1223> brolly81: tried sudo?
[14:18] <brolly81> yeah but what do i do in sudo. what do i type or edit
[14:18] <Moose> Broly: sudo <command to do sharing here>
[14:18] <Moose> It'll prompt you for your administrator password.
[14:18] <brolly81> stefan1223 yeah but what do i do in sudo. what do i type or edit
[14:18] <Sorcererbob> hey guys, just letting you all know that this sound issue is compelling me to return to windows :(
[14:19] <brolly81> stefan1223 i get this error: You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share.
[14:19] <S0LO> :\
[14:19] <drox81> Salve ragazzi ho installato Kubuntu con KDE4 e devo dire che è molto piacevole usarlo e anche facile unica cosa che ho notato, io uso solitamente Rhtymbox, invece qui c'è Amarok e fin qui nessun problema
[14:19] <erUSUL> !it | drox81
[14:19] <Sorcererbob> !es
[14:20] <erUSUL> Sorcererbob: wrong language ;P
[14:20] <Sorcererbob> !klingon
[14:20] <Sorcererbob> :P
[14:20] <fosco_> ;)
[14:20] <Sorcererbob> back later
[14:20] <stefan1223> brolly81: if you aren't root you can't share if you use sudo <command> then you execute it as root
[14:22] <brolly81> stefan1223: bro i have no idea what your talking about, im fairly new to ubunto. root in what?
[14:23] <LoHm> hello
[14:23] <brolly81> stefan1223: i tried to look it up on google and stuff but i cant get a site that fixes this error
[14:23] <stefan1223> brolly81: if you're not root you don't have permission to do some things like editing special files etc. it's for security purpose i think...
[14:24] <stefan1223> brolly81: what do you type in the terminal?
[14:26] <brolly81> stefan1223: nothing in the tereminal i just rt clicked on the icon and clicked on share
[14:27] <brolly81> stefan1223: like i said before im fairly new
[14:27] <ApoKalYpsA> a
[14:28] <poddy> !burn
[14:28] <stefan1223> brolly81: well, i'm also new... but for me, it looks like you aren't root(admin)
[14:29] <soulchild> Hi all,.... hope someone can help me with this scripting problem: I have to files, one hast the Name, and another file has the id's, I want to merge these to files into one file with "Name:ID", any ideas ?
[14:29] <gangsterlicious> is AIDE in debian/ubuntu just badly broken or what?
[14:29] <Stormbreaker> brolly81, maybe you can type in the terminal "sudo nautilus" thenyou'll get root access on all folder
[14:29] <inrepiduser> i am an administrator for a network and im using ubuntu ...im wondering if i can somehow analyze the bandwidth over the network since i would have a proof that people are using the enitre bandwidth...
[14:30] <gangsterlicious> intrepiduser: you couldn't put up a monitor at GW?
[14:30] <intrepiduser> how can i do that?
[14:30] <intrepiduser> its a very small network..
[14:30] <Slart> intrepiduser: you can just run nload on the gw if you just need a quick measurement
[14:31] <Slart> intrepiduser: or install one of the bandwidth monitors that output nice webpages with graphs and whatnot
[14:31] <jp> oi
[14:31] <gangsterlicious> intrepiduser: yea, my company using cacti
[14:31] <Slart> !info mrtg | intrepiduser
[14:31] <gangsterlicious> it works great.
[14:31] <peabody> I've got a Sansa Fuze, and when I connect it to my computer, it doesn't detect. In fact, I can't even detect it in lsusb
[14:32] <intrepiduser> Slart: doesnt it monitor my bandwidth usgae only?
[14:32] <Slart> gangsterlicious, intrepiduser: ah.. yes.. cactii is very nice.. I've used that too
[14:32] <Slart> intrepiduser: yes? isn't that what you wanted?
[14:32] <peabody> I've went to the sandisk forums, and they talk about removing the USB 1.1 modules and shit I've tried that
[14:32] <intrepiduser> noo..
[14:32] <intrepiduser> i mean no*
[14:33] <intrepiduser> other people on network are using file sharing clients..
[14:33] <intrepiduser> i want to prove that they are using most of the bandwidth..
[14:33] <peabody> I don't know what else to do.. how do you troubleshoot an undetected USB device
[14:33] <Slart> intrepiduser: oohh.. now I understand
[14:33] <intrepiduser> its a home netwrok actually..
[14:33] <bullgard4> 'man 7 rtnetlink' starts with the line: "NAME: rtnetlink, NETLINK_ROUTE - Linux IPv4 routing socket." Are both identifiers rtnetlink and NETLINK_ROUTE synonyms?
[14:33] <Slart> intrepiduser: you want to separate normal traffic from filesharing stuff..
[14:34] <intrepiduser> i just want to know how much bandwidth they are using..
[14:34] <senol116> ff
[14:34] <Slart> intrepiduser: the problem then is separating the normal traffic from the filesharing stuff.. most filesharing stuff is very good at hiding.. encryption, random ports etc etc
[14:34] <soulchild> Hi all,.... hope someone can help me with this scripting problem: I have to files, one hast the Name, and another file has the id's, I want to merge these to files into one file with "Name:ID", any ideas ?
[14:34] <KRF> intrepiduser, nethogs (maybe)
[14:35] <brolly81> stormbreaker: is there a way to make my "root" whatever my default
[14:35] <Photoguy> So, I installed Ubuntu on my external Hdd.   I want to be able to boot from any computer, what else do I have to do to make it work?
[14:35] <Stormbreaker> broll
[14:35] <Photoguy> It doesn't show an option for Ubuntu
[14:36] <Stormbreaker> brolly81, maybe but i don't know how, i always use sudo to get root access for something
[14:36] <brolly81> stormbreaker: having a hard time understanding why root isn't a default for admin users
[14:37] <shri> my system has windows xp. just now i have installed ubuntu. if i reboot the system after installing ubuntu. i still get windows xp. i am unable to boot ubuntu linux
[14:37] <shri> can anyone help me
[14:37] <jamba_sparabo> how can I disable the user and password questions during startup?
[14:38] <cdecarlo> shri: are you sure you installed? you weren't just using the live cd?
[14:38] <shri> yes i installed. i can see my rootfs
[14:38] <Slart> brolly81: if you were logged in as root that means *everything* you run can trash the entire system... firefox can do it, the small text edito can do it, openoffice can do it etc.. so if just one of these programs run amok, or is somehow hijacked they have access to everything
[14:38] <Roger_> jamba_sparabo, set autologin on
[14:38] <Computech> what is a good chess programm for ubuntu?
[14:38] <jamba_sparabo> thx Roger_
[14:38] <Stormbreaker> brolly81, i can understand, you're not root for security reason, anyway you can probably open a session as root, then you should have access to everything as root (by the way i'm also a noob in ubuntu stuff lo)
[14:38] <jamba_sparabo> if i find it
[14:38] <Roger_> in users and groups that is
[14:38] <intrepiduser> how can i monitor the gateway?
[14:39] <Slart> !info eboard | Computech
[14:39] <Computech> Slart, does it have a better engine then the normal one in ubuntu?
[14:39] <Jeruvy> intrepiduser: the most common tool is a sniffer
[14:40] <Slart> Computech: afaik eboard is considered to be good (not only pretty) but I haven't tried it myself so I can't really say for sure
[14:40] <intrepiduser> i do have wireshark..
[14:40] <cdecarlo> shri: did you partition the disk manually or did you use the guided settings and let installer do it?
[14:40] <Stormbreaker> Question, there is someone who successed to install ivtv or get a wintv pvr 150 running on ubuntu 8.10 ? (i'm lost since 4 days by trying to get this tuner working :s)
[14:40] <intrepiduser> but how can i monitor the bandwidth..
[14:40] <Computech> Slart, thanx
[14:40] <intrepiduser> i can run arpspoof..
[14:40] <intrepiduser> i manage the network..
[14:40] <earthen> my blutooth mouse will not reconnect after a reboot or sleep anyone have any idea's
[14:41] <Photoguy> So, I installed Ubuntu on my external Hdd.   I want to be able to boot from any computer, what else do I have to do to make it work?
[14:41] <Photoguy> It doesn't show an option for Ubuntu
[14:41] <Slart> intrepiduser: this looks promising.. it can at least sort the bandwidth according to different criteria http://dmr.ath.cx/net/darkstat/
[14:41] <chazco> Hi... how can I mount an SFTP or FTP location in Ubuntu? Nautilus shows the root folder but doesnt redirect to the suitable folder. s/ftp from the terminal work as expected however.
[14:42] <brolly81> slart: so if i want to share music and or just files in general I have to have them in root, right? does that mean i have to make double copies of everything one for basic use and another for root
[14:42] <ianfdlrs> Can someone answer a question for me?
[14:43] <Slart> brolly81: eh... no.. root is a user.. it's not a folder
[14:43] <Slart> brolly81: I might have missed the start of this conversation.. what are you trying to do?
[14:44] <Tosko> Can anyone help me with my DRI problem? I want to enable my DRI on my graphic card ( ATI Radeon Xpress 1270 HyperMemory )
[14:45] <amitz1> how to install live cd that only has grub inside it?
[14:45] <Stormbreaker> brolly81, this can help you maybe : http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/05/19/how-to-share-files-and-folders-in-ubuntu/
[14:46] <Photoguy> I need some help.
[14:46] <Photoguy> :-i
[14:46] <Photoguy> So, I installed Ubuntu on my external Hdd.   I want to be able to boot from any computer, what else do I have to do to make it work?
[14:46] <intrepiduser> maybe it would have different drivers.
[14:46] <intrepiduser> it wont load on any computer..
[14:46] <ikonia> Photoguy: thats not the best idea as an install is not a live system,
[14:46] <Jeruvy> Photoguy: that probably won't work.  Hardware detection is very fussy
[14:47] <Photoguy> So, what do i have to do?
[14:47] <Photoguy> then.
[14:47] <Jeruvy> Photoguy: you should use a virtualbox/vmware solution
[14:47] <ikonia> Photoguy: install on each system, or use a live setup, like a livecd
[14:47] <brolly81> Stormbreaker: yeah i wen to that site, it didnt help. I actually fixed my problem and it was the fact that i was not in root like slart said, which that site does not mention that and i followed it to the teeth.
[14:47] <Photoguy> So, I have to install all over agin, on the computer I want to boot from?
[14:48] <ikonia> Photoguy: or use a live system like a livecd
[14:48] <Jeruvy> Photoguy; you can choose to just use a livecd environment, you can create a hard file per system
[14:48] <Photoguy> !livecd
[14:48] <intrepiduser> when i run orca i hear a weird noise...
[14:48] <Stormbreaker> brolly81, Oh i see
[14:48] <amitz1> Photoguy: heh, I'm doing the same thing, that is want to make my installation in external harddrive works in most computers.
[14:49] <Photoguy> Yeah, I just want to plug and play :P
[14:49] <ikonia> Photoguy: then use a livecd
[14:49] <Jeruvy> amitz: we do the same thing, but it's not trivial and all the machine are the same.  Makes hardware conflicts rarer.
[14:49] <amitz1> Photoguy: It probably won't work flawlessly though..
[14:50] <Stormbreaker> brolly81, Anyway, keep in mind that you have to be root to be able to install/uninstall/update a soft in ubuntu, it's "by design" that's why many wabsite didn't mention it
[14:50] <brolly81> Slart:  i was trying to share my folder over the network. the files that i was trying to share were located on my desktop
[14:50] <Photoguy> Ok, so I use a live cd, and install all over again?
[14:51] <amitz1> Jeruvy: I know but I still want to make it work. I only have to make it works for 3 different computers. Now, what I need is info on how to install grub only on live cd. Do you know how?
[14:51] <ikonia> Photoguy: just use a livecd, don't install, or install it, it's up to you
[14:51] <Papillon_> bonjour les mauvais programmeurs !
[14:51] <ikonia> !fr
[14:51] <Papillon_> bonjour les bots alors
[14:51] <Photoguy> !fr
[14:51] <ikonia> Photoguy: I've just done that
[14:51] <Jeruvy> amitz: I'm not sure I follow you.  You want a livecd with just grub?
[14:51] <ikonia> Papillon_: english only please
[14:51] <amitz1> Photoguy: first you need to use "debootstrap". Try google it.
[14:51] <Slart> brolly81: ah.. so you had to do that as "the root user".. the files can still be on your desktop.. it's just the sharing that has to be done as root.. since you as a user isn't allowed to do that.... (not sure if that helps any)
[14:52] <Photoguy> ok
[14:52] <Slart> brolly81: anyways.. it works now?
[14:52] <ikonia> amitz1: why does he want to debootsstrap ?
[14:53] <brolly81> slart: for example if i logged onto ubunto my files of music and pic are there on my desktop. i had to copy and paste those files in root to share.
[14:53] <amitz1> Jeruvy: Yeah. Basically the BIOS of all 3 computers can access USB storage. Too bad there is no option to boot from USB storage. So basically I want to boot from CD, run the grub in CD, and make grub boot into USB storage.
[14:53] <Photoguy> I wan to use MY ubuntu installation, that's the thing!
[14:53] <shri> i think the partion was done manually
[14:53] <ikonia> Photoguy: you can't
[14:53] <Photoguy> No way too?
[14:53] <Jeruvy> amitz1: ah, why not pxe?
[14:53] <ikonia> Photoguy: each PC is unique, so you need to either a.) use a live cd envionment, or b.) install on each system
[14:54] <Photoguy> That's ridiculous!
[14:54] <amitz1> ikonia: ah, what I meant is for him/her to create his new installation for his external storage.
[14:54] <Photoguy> Ok, thanks for the info.
[14:54] <ikonia> amitz1: so he doesn't need to debootstrap - just install as normal
[14:54] <amitz1> Jeruvy: Some of those computers can't boot from PXE.
[14:54] <shri> i bootout of livecd and can see the file system partition and boot partition
[14:54] <shri> but i think grub is not installed
[14:54] <shri> how do i
[14:54] <ikonia> shri: the livecd uses lilo
[14:54] <Photoguy> Wait, does it make any diffrernece that I'm using an external  hdd?
[14:54] <brolly81> slart: yes it works now but the problem is that for 10gigs of music i have to use 20gigs of space one for root and the other for general log on from what i'm understanding between root and just normal log-on
[14:54] <ikonia> Photoguy: yes,
[14:55] <amitz1> ikonia: You're right. I generalized my case to his/her. I used debootstrap thus I thought (s)he probably needs it.
[14:55] <ikonia> Photoguy: you can't move installs around like that - it is not safe. Each PC is different
[14:55] <Stormbreaker> Photoguy, yes
[14:55] <shri> okay, what do i do now
[14:55] <shri> how do i make dual boot
[14:55] <genii> amitz: There is floppy bootdisks which bootstrap to PXE if bios does not allow it at http://www.rom-o-matic.net/
[14:55] <ikonia> shri: what do you want to do
[14:55] <Photoguy> Ok..
[14:55] <Jeruvy> amitz1: hmm interesting problem.  Not sure what to suggest I would not go this way.
[14:55] <Melio> Photoguy: you should try installing off usb. it's a little quicker if your doing a lot of installs
[14:55] <zombor> is there any way to automate the typing in of the "yes" for an ssh host when connecting for the first time?
[14:55] <Melio> just a suggestion
[14:55] <ikonia> zombor: disable host checking
[14:56] <shri> i know ubuntu is installed on my system. i want to boot out of it
[14:56] <zombor> ikonia: can i do that per-domainhost?
[14:56] <shri> for that i need a grub/lilo
[14:56] <Melio> oh i didnt see that you had an x harddrive
[14:56] <Melio> nevermind
[14:56] <ikonia> zombor: it's a server setting, not a client, so disable it on each server
[14:56] <ikonia> shri: what do you want to do
[14:56] <shri> how do i?
[14:56] <ikonia> shri: what do you want to do/achieve ?
[14:56] <Photoguy> Thanks for the help guy.
[14:56] <zombor> ikonia: ah, ok, thanks
[14:56] <Photoguy> *guys
[14:56] <Melio> shri ubuntu doesnt use lilo
[14:56] <icqnumber> !info ghc6
[14:56] <Melio> not by defualt. if you want lilo hit the lilo website
[14:56] <amitz1> genii: Thanks. It's interesting but basically I want to have a large collection of files and installation with small physical size I can carry everywhere to those 3 computers.
[14:56] <Slart> brolly81: ok.. I don't really understand what you did... but you do not have to store everything twice in order to be able to share it
[14:57] <shri> i want to install bootloader that boots linux and windows
[14:57] <ikonia> Melio: why does he have to hit the lilo website, lilo is available for ubuntu
[14:57] <Melio> shri, install windows., then install on a clean partition linux
[14:57] <ikonia> shri: have you installed linux yet ?
[14:57] <shri> thats done
[14:57] <Melio> ikonia: so he can learn about lilo
[14:57] <intrepiduser> im begining to hate the udp packets of filesharing on wireshark..
[14:57] <intrepiduser> filesharing clients
[14:57] <Melio> shri, ubuntu automaticly recognizes your windows partition when grub installs
[14:57] <Melio> grub is exactly like liko
[14:57] <ikonia> shri: then the system should be already setup to dual boot, the linux installer sets it up and gets it right %99 of the time
[14:57] <Melio> er lilo
[14:57] <Melio> sorry small keyboard
[14:57] <Melio> i personally like grub better
[14:58] <Melio> lilo is like 80's style
[14:58] <shri> i think thats not done
[14:58] <Melio> shri, how did you install linux
[14:58] <brolly81> slart: when i typed sudo nautlius it came up.  but i could not view my the files located under desktop
[14:58] <Jeruvy> !punctuation > Melio
[14:58] <Stormbreaker> shri, what's happen when you boot your computer ?
[14:58] <icqnumber> shri, what are you talking about?
[14:58] <shri> i see only windows
[14:58] <Melio> Jeruvy: i would if i could find the keys for it, this is an aao, and i'm typing in the dark
[14:58] <Melio> not used to this keyboard
[14:58] <Melio> hey. i'm using punctuation. relax
[14:58] <Stormbreaker> shri, then Ubuntu is not installed
[14:58] <amitz1> Jeruvy: well, for now, I want to install that grub on cd.
[14:59] <icqnumber> !grub | shri
[14:59] <ikonia> shri: then it's most likley grub do not install to the boot disk
[14:59] <ikonia> Stormbreaker: no, it means grub is not on the boot disk
[14:59] <Slart> brolly81: ok.. sudo nautilus means you ran nautilus as the user root.. (you should have used gksudo but that's for another time)..
[14:59] <Slart> brolly81: and then you couldn't see your desktop files?
[14:59] <shri> when i boot out of liveubuntu cd. i see the linux partitions with ubuntu on one of the partitions
[14:59] <ikonia> shri: ok, so grub is not installed on your boot disk
[14:59] <Stormbreaker> ikonia, how itcan be ? if you follow the install process?
[15:00] <shri> so how do i install grub
[15:00] <ikonia> Stormbreaker: if you have multiple disks, the installer can put the grub boot loader on the wrong boot disk
[15:00] <icqnumber> shri, see the link above
[15:00] <ikonia> shri: you need to re-apply grub from the livecd to the correct master boot record
[15:00] <shri> i have multiple disks
[15:00] <Stormbreaker> ikonia, Ok, thx for the info :)
[15:00] <ikonia> !grub > shri
[15:00] <Slart> brolly81: ok, I think I understand what you did now.. you clicked on the "Desktop" shortcut in nautilus, right? and there were no files?
[15:00] <ikonia> Stormbreaker: it's rare - but it can happen, most normally if your disk priority is different than your bios's order
[15:01] <brolly81> slart:  dude someone else told me to type sudo nautilus not gksudo
[15:01] <peabody> How do I install the new kernel with ext4 support?
[15:01] <Stormbreaker> ikonia, didn't know that, i have multiple disk but no issue so far to install ubuntu
[15:01] <Slart> brolly81: yes, it happens.. it can be dangerous but most of the time it's fine
[15:01] <Jeruvy> amitz1: have you seen this? http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Making-a-GRUB-bootable-CD-ROM.html
[15:02] <Slart> brolly81: generally speaking sudo is used for command line applications, gksudo is used for things that uses the gui
[15:02] <Stormbreaker> brolly81, gksudo or sudo nautilus it's 2 different way for the same result
[15:02] <Slart> Stormbreaker: not really..
[15:02] <Slart> !gksudo | Stormbreaker
[15:03] <amitz1> Jeruvy: woah, thx. I'm currently reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB
[15:03] <brolly81> slart: i just right clicked on my music file, then share file.
[15:03] <backgen> hey can anyone help me i'm trying to mount my external HD but it says "Cannot mount Volume" and in details it says its because of an untidy shutdown
[15:03] <Jeruvy> amitz1: good luck :)
[15:03] <Slart> brolly81: you did find your music files? inside the new nautilus window?
[15:03] <shri> if i install grub . will i be able to boot windows
[15:03] <backgen> i think i last mounted it on my Windows, but i can't access windows right now because it's got a virus and just freezes when i open it
[15:03] <shri> will grub overwrite windows bootloader
[15:03] <_Aldur> join #xubuntu
[15:04] <Stormbreaker> Slart, if you say so, it's open nautilus with root access
[15:04] <backgen> I'm thinking that i can Force it, but is that dangerous? Will i loose my data on it?
[15:04] <Jeruvy> shri: have you read the documentation for grub?
[15:04] <Slart> Stormbreaker: yes, but gksudo does some extra things.. something about enviroment variables.. apparently it can do nasty stuff to your installation if you use sudo with gui things
[15:05] <shri> i am reading it. i just want to get confirmation
[15:05] <shri> since my confidence level is bad
[15:05] <Slart> Stormbreaker: read the link ubottu sent you.. I don't remember the specifics of it
[15:05] <amitz1> Jeruvy: Thx! I think your link is exactly what I need.
[15:06] <brolly81> slart, strombreaker: the point is now i've tried it both ways and i still cant view my folders on my desktop i cant see any files. It's just a blank nautilus screen that has a desktop icon on it and when i click on the desktop icon to open it, that too is just blank
[15:06] <Stormbreaker> Slart, i just finish it, anyway, for me the result was the same, no i understand, i will us gksudo then
[15:06] <Slart> brolly81: ok.. that is because you are seeing the user roots desktop.. each user has his own home folder, his own desktop folder, his own bookmarks etc etc
[15:07] <Stormbreaker> now*
[15:07] <backgen> hey can anyone help me i'm trying to mount my external HD but it says "Cannot mount Volume" and in details it says its because of an untidy shutdown, Does anyone know how to Force it? Or is that not recommended because it might wipe all my data?
[15:07] <Slart> brolly81: try clicking on "File system" in the left panel
[15:07] <Slart> brolly81: you can press F9 to turn the side panel on and off
[15:08] <MAXI-MUM> hello i am dualing boot vista and linux and i access internet via wireless newtork vista connects normally to 3com router with 24% stringth in signal but ubuntu dont detect that router in the same position of my laptop
[15:08] <Slart> brolly81: you should see folders like "bin" "boot" "dev"
[15:08] <brolly81> slart: yeah ok
[15:08] <Slart> brolly81: ok.. find the folder "home", open it
[15:08] <shri> i will try that and be back
[15:08] <thorny_sun> please help anyone-- i've wasted 5 hours on this now-- I need a vim version > 7.1.138 (hardy) cuz of bad bugs in this one, and I'm running Hardy-- how do I do it?
[15:09] <Slart> brolly81: this folder is where all the users home folders are located.. one folder for each user (except the root user which is special)
[15:09] <brolly81> slart: ok then click on home
[15:09] <kebomix> how to fix pifgin accounts.xml problem ? how to make this file encrypted ?
[15:09] <Slart> brolly81: yes.. you should see one folder named after your user
[15:09] <mario__> kako instalirati skener na ubuntu?
[15:09] <brolly81> slart: and home has users and my name, then desktop
[15:09] <Slart> brolly81: indeed.. and there are your files
[15:09] <Schuenemann> !info bitchx
[15:09] <dft> hello, anyone here experienced in making .deb files?
[15:09] <allsystemsarego> Thorgrimr, vim-gnome
[15:09] <Slart> !bitchx | Schuenemann
[15:10] <allsystemsarego> Thorgrimr, sudo aptitude install vim-gnome
[15:10] <Schuenemann> Slart, why it isn't in the repos anymore?
[15:10] <Slart> Schuenemann: oh.. my bad.. bitchx isn't in the repos anymore.. something about not being updated I think
[15:10] <allsystemsarego> thorny_sun, sudo aptitude install vim-gnome
[15:10] <Slart> Schuenemann: I didn't expect ubottu to just give you the normal irc factoid, sorry
[15:10] <Schuenemann> Slart, oh, well... compilation nightmare again
[15:11] <Schuenemann> there is irssi though
[15:11] <brolly81> slart: now i see, you see that sight does not mention any of that. and for new users it would seem to be important to metion, since it is a help page.
[15:11] <kebomix>  how to fix pifgin accounts.xml problem ? how to make this file encrypted ?
[15:11] <Slart> brolly81: I agree totally
[15:11] <Jeruvy> kebomix: have you tried #pidgin
[15:12] <dft> hello, anyone here experienced in making .deb files?
[15:12] <d0ze> heh
[15:12] <d0ze> hi
[15:12] <Schuenemann> dft, it is very complicated: http://wiki.getdeb.net/Building_Packages
[15:12] <Slart> brolly81: now.. that window you have opened (the one you started with sudo).. you can basically do anything in there.. also stuff that will kill your ubuntu install.. so be careful with it.. don't leave it open etc
[15:12] <dft> Schuenemann: ty
[15:12] <thorny_sun> allsystemsarego: that just install the current version i have-- .138 --  i need a more recent version (something that is not more than a year old)
[15:12] <Jeruvy> dft: #debian, and it's very not trivial :)  see deb-maintainers on google.
[15:12] <Slart> Schuenemann: I've never used bitchx but I use irssi.. works nicely for me
[15:12] <thorny_sun> allsystemsarego: .138 has bad bugs and it's majorly blocking me at this point
[15:13] <Schuenemann> dft, there is also a package called checkinstall that promises to make it simple, but I tried yesterday and gave me an error
[15:13] <Schuenemann> dft, you can try it
[15:13] <Schuenemann> Slart, I will try it. Thx
[15:13] <brolly81> Slart: thanks bro, little by little Im getting this ubuntu structure and thought process
[15:13] <dft> Schuenemann: I've followed some howtos, but I"m the pkg is trying to rm /var...not so good iirc
[15:14] <Schuenemann> dft, remove var? why?
[15:15] <dft> Schuenemann: that's what I'm trying to figure out...I duplicated the conffiles.list file from the original pkg and I'm wondering if it's causing the isse
[15:16] <Schuenemann> Slart, would you mind telling me how to switch channel windows?
[15:16] <Slart> Schuenemann: one sec afk
[15:17] <rww> Schuenemann: in irssi? Ctrl-n to go to the next one, or Alt-1, Alt-2, Alt-3, etc. to go to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. window.

[15:25] <hwilde> Trijntje, how long does it take exactly
[15:25] <willytell_> hi all!
[15:25] <axscode> ok.. thanks
[15:25] <rww> Trijntje: do you still have the link to that article someone sent you earlier? 'cause that said specifically how to do it for GNOME login.
[15:26] <axscode> ok.. hmm one last question... what in kernel to enable to support /dev/nfs ?

[15:28] <johannes__> hi in an old installation i created a software raid1 using linux multiple device, these HDD contained only files no /boot or similar, I changed my os to ubuntu and would like to put the raid1 together (the files mustnt be deleted) the os was on sdb the raid is built with sda and sdc, what can I do now to get /dev/md0 back?
[15:28] <Trijntje> i installed bootchart and rebooted and it gave me a graph, so i figured i didn't need to change init to /sbin/bootchardt
[15:30] <taak> where can I get help with a flex/lex question?
[15:30] <wisebug> is it possible to mount some fakeraid ntfs partion that are on separate drives from my ubutun 8.10 installation?
[15:31] <mib_x893htne> hi guys. Is there a way for a script to get a reference to it's own location? The script should invoke another command in its own directory, but when run from a desktop shortcut the current directory seems to be the desktop, so I guess I need to cd to the script dir, but that can depend on where the user installed the files
[15:31] <rww> Trijntje: look in the last three paragraphs of that page
[15:32] <BenHoltz> mib_x893htne: have it cd to that directory in the script
[15:32] <rww> Trijntje: by default, bootchart is set up to do boot logging. You can start it up manually to log other stuff, like GNOME logon, though.
[15:32] <shri> thanks guys, i have booted into ubuntu
[15:32] <shri> it is so easy
[15:32] <shri> lol
[15:32] <rww> mib_x893htne: assuming you're talking about a BASH script, ask in #bash
[15:33] <mib_x893htne> BenHoltz: Can I get the script directory from an environment variable? The script can be in any location chosen by the user
[15:33] <Trijntje> rww: I'm trying to run the bootchartd command but it doesn't seem to exist

[15:40] <chazco> Also, how can I have OO display documents as they do in Word. I have the correct fonts installed, but pagination is still usually a long way off. PDF isnt an option (not my choice), i'm stuck with .doc/.docx
[15:41] <dan> chazco: word viewer in Wine? :)
[15:41] <chazco> dan - I'm considering trying to get Office 07 to install under cross-over, but would prefer OO to work. Need to be able to edit btw.
[15:42] <jim_p> axscode, what are you trying to compile?
[15:42] <Aji-Daha1a> is there a good method to get application-centric navigation in ubuntu?

[15:42] <jim_p> Aji-Daha1a, like? a dock?

[15:43] <BobbyInfinity> Happy New Year all. I'm trying to get a Canon printer to work with ddiwrapper. The problem I am having is compiling it from source. There wasn't a ./configure file included with the source file so I get a whole mess of errors when trying to make. Anyone have any ideas?
[15:43] <Aji-Daha1a> jim_p: like alt-tab to change between applications and ctrl-tab to change between windows in the same application
[15:43] <kristian_> Jack_Sparrow : isn't this the official channel?
[15:43] <Aji-Daha1a> jim_p: something along those lines
[15:43] <Jack_Sparrow> kristian_, Not for open office
[15:43] <LetsGo67> kristian_ I think he means #ooo

[15:44] <jim_p> is anyone really good at bash scripting? i want a simple script that user pmount to mount the contents of my cellphone or unmount it if its already mounted. the weirs fat32 filesystem in it makes me to have to manually mount each time
[15:44] <BobbyInfinity> let me look
[15:44] <chazco> Anyone know how to mount SFTP/FTP folders without using Nautilus/connect-to-server?
[15:44] <BobbyInfinity> http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/ddiwrapper/
[15:44] <chazco> Jack_Sparrow - Will do :)
[15:44] <Jack_Sparrow> jim_p, try /join #Bash they may have something written already
[15:44] <jim_p> *a script that uses pmount...
[15:44] <kristian_> Jack_Sparrow & LetsGo67 : oh. my bad. :-P
[15:44] <jim_p> thanks Jack_Sparrow
[15:45] <Jack_Sparrow> kristian_, np
[15:45] <jim_p> Aji-Daha1a, doesnt gnome do that by default?
[15:45] <Jeruvy> BobbyInfinity: and you did a ./configure and it didn't work or you ran into dependancy errors?  Can you pastebin the output of the ./configure
[15:46] <BobbyInfinity> there is no ./configure to run
[15:46] <Aji-Daha1a> jim_p: nope, gnome does alt-tab to switch windows regardless of application
[15:46] <Melio> type sudo configure
[15:46] <Aji-Daha1a> I don't see any way to just switch application focus
[15:47] <Dante123> hi all,  I am having the problem that 8.10 is not detecting my display properly.  I want to set it to Acer x193 and I cant in 8.10 because the "screen and displays" gui is not in 8.10 like it was in 8.04.  As a result I do not get all the resolution options.  Is there no way of setting display in 8.10???
[15:47] <Melio> Dante123: you can customize your xorg.conf
[15:47] <swif> So one day I boot my Intrepid installation, and it won't resolve hostnames.  I check my connection by pinging a few remote IPs I know by heart, and they respond.  I track it down to my /etc/resolv.conf file, which turns out to have been replaced by a Stale NFS file handle, and I get this error when I try to do anything with the file.  How can I remove the stale file handle so I can restore my original resolv.conf?
[15:48] <moonbaby> who have to give me a guide or manual for ubuntu terminal? pls
[15:48] <Slash003> hi, I reinstalled Ubuntu 8.10 but Im getting the grub error, how can I fix it?
[15:48] <Dante123> Melio I hear ya...but I really dont want to edit the xorg.conf (I dont even know what to put in there for resolutions etc.)

[15:48] <Dante123> Melio is there no way to set via gui the display???
[15:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Dante123, I usually edit mine manually.
[15:49] <BobbyInfinity> is there a way for me to make my own ./config?
[15:49] <Jeruvy> BobbyInfinity: seems to be looking for wine :)
[15:49] <moonbaby> thanx
[15:49] <Dante123> Jack_Sparrow I even tried booting into 8.04 livecd and using that xorg.conf after I had set acer as display, but no good.
[15:50] <BobbyInfinity> when i looked at the make file it seems to be looking for wine in the wrong place. that is if i'm reading it correctly
[15:50] <swif> So in short, how can I remove a stale NFS file handle? I can't find out how to remove the handle and I can't replace the file unless the stale handle is gone.  I've Googled to no avail. :(
[15:50] <Jeruvy> BobbyInfinity: from the makefile: ddiwrapper_exe_LDFLAGS  = -mwindows -mno-cygwin
[15:50] <Dante123> Jack_Sparrow I may have to do that....but I should think things OUGHT to be able to be done via gui.  I mean 8.04 allowed me to and now 8.10 doesn't.  Seems like a regression to me.
[15:51] <Dante123> is there a command line way of setting display Jack_Sparrow Melio
[15:51] <LetsGo67> !subtitles
[15:51] <Jack_Sparrow> sorry all
[15:51] <LetsGo67> That's okay Jack_sparrow.
[15:52] <savid> Hi,  I have my power settings set to suspend when my laptop lid is closed,  but when I close my lid, it just blanks the screen  -- which is what my "plugged in" setting does",  but my laptop is unplugged.  Any ideas what's going on?
[15:52] <Jack_Sparrow> one sec
[15:52] <Frozenball> this is getting rather annoying
[15:52] <roca24> whats a good virtual cd prog?
[15:52] <LetsGo67> Anyone familiar with ripping DVD subtitles?  If so, can you help me, please?
[15:54] <Dante123> Melio if I sent you my xorg.conf could you look at it for me and make suggestions ( I should be able to go to 1440 x 900 or something like that I believe)
[15:54]  * BenHoltz needs help with ddrescue and testdisk... any takers?

[16:05] <__MAV> The bug is in X server

[16:05] <cherva> I have a little problem my /dev/sda6 is automounted in /media/LILI ,but only I can read/write to it and I want all users to be able to write to it how to do this ?
[16:05] <centr0> sftp client*
[16:06] <Kelen> hspaans: yeah, but i wanna know upgrade it only. not including other packages.
[16:06] <Jeruvy> Zewalrus:there are many bug reports on saitek drivers.  Have you checked?
[16:06] <rww> centr0: Places > Connect To Server in GNOME always worked for me
[16:06] <centr0> usr13_: sry just woke up
[16:06] <centr0> rww: ty ill try that
[16:06] <usr13_> centr0: GUI?  or...?
[16:06] <centr0> usr13_: yes gui
[16:06] <hspaans> Kelen: not possible without breaking things or getting yourself into trouble
[16:07] <usr13_> centr0: Wants to find a GUI front end for sftp
[16:07] <__MAV> but neither solution worked for me
[16:07] <king2005> any body in here  of download offline by skynet ?
[16:08] <hspaans> Kelen: 2.6.1-1ubuntu3 is the version voor Ubuntu 8.10 and that's it. Ubuntu 9.04 will have a later version hopefully
[16:08] <usr13_> centr0: Why not just use CLI sftp ?  You really need a GUI?
[16:09] <__MAV> Wow! just changed keyboard type to Generic->Evdev managed keyboard and Arrow keys are woking
[16:09] <__MAV> and Del!
[16:09] <__MAV> cook

[16:42] <Dante123> For what it is worth, I did manage to get my lcd monitor to work with higher res settings without editing xorg.conf.  What I did was boot into 8.04 livecd.  I ran gksudo displayconfig-gtk which allowed me to select monitor, graphics card etc.  I then copied this newly made xorg.conf file to my 8.11 setup and rebooted, installed nvidia driver, and now I have the missing resolutions to choose from.
[16:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Guest10510, that abs was for you
[16:42] <mrwes> anyway to hide joins and parts in Pidgin ?

[16:43] <Gr34t3st> can someone please help me? I'm having troubles with a winmodem.
[16:43] <hspaans> mker: without the source its hard to tell
[16:44] <kristian_> ethan : you have to mention my nick for me to see it. can you be more specific?
[16:44] <mker> hspaans, you mean the pdf file itself?
[16:44] <hspaans> Gr34t3st: winmodems are a no go area
[16:44] <hspaans> mker: yes
[16:44] <int_> jakarta
[16:44] <Gr34t3st> hspaans: so there is absolutely nothing i can do?
[16:45] <rww> mrwes: there's a plugin for it. Open the Plugins window and look for Hide Joins/Parts or something like that.
[16:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Gr34t3st, There are some drivers  but they are really hit or miss.  Is this a laptop
[16:45] <ghost3> Gr34t3st: what kind of winmodem?
[16:45] <mrwes> rww: lemme look
[16:45] <Gr34t3st> I'm on an hp pavilion 7955. I ran scanModem but I got an error
[16:46] <mrwes> rww: found it -- thanks! that was killin' me
[16:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Gr34t3st, Is this a laptop.. we cant be expected to know what every model number is

[16:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Gr34t3st, External modems work the best as they tend to be true hardware modems and not just ports pretending to be odems
[16:47] <ghost3> Gr34t3st: and as mr jack asked.. is it a laptop?
[16:47] <Gr34t3st> so I have to go buy an external modem to make it work?

[16:48] <Gr34t3st> ghost3, is that the only option? lol. I'd rather not spend money.. D:
[16:49] <zhuseh> Sorry Gr34t3st but if your problem is the driver for the wirless or you use the windows wrapper or you upgrade your pc
[16:49] <mker> hspaans, I'm not sure I can send any of the files with those problems. Would it help if I could just mention the fonts used that aren't embedded? Is there some sort of alternative I could download that takes their place without changing the pdfs?

[16:55] <askereth> how do i view the source of any ubuntu package online (without downloading it first)
[16:55] <Gnea> pop79: is that supposed to mean something...useful?
[16:56] <pop79> no
[16:56] <pop79> sorry
[16:56] <Gnea> askereth: the 'source'?
[16:56] <askereth> Gnea: yes, the source
[16:56] <nicolas> heyy
[16:56] <pop79> sorry ethan, i cant help you.
[16:56] <nicolas> wh can help me
[16:56] <rww> askereth: you don't, because there isn't a web interface to it. You either get it with apt-get, or download it from packages.ubuntu.com.
[16:56] <nicolas> ?
[16:56] <Gnea> askereth: could you please be a bit more specific? do you mean the source code or where the package is coming from?
[16:57] <pop79> !ask |nicholas
[16:57] <askereth> rww: thank you
[16:57] <nicolas> oki
[16:57] <pop79> nicolas: what do you want to know?
[16:57] <nicolas> so why my amsn don t work
[16:58] <askereth> Gnea: the obvious one, "source" as in "source code" :)
[16:58] <Gnea> askereth: there's nothing 'obvious' about it, anybody could say 'source' and mean something else. :)
[16:58] <Gun_Smoke> rww, I meant should people be directing them that way
[16:59] <pop79> can someone tell me what time it is in GMT?
[16:59] <rww> Gun_Smoke: either way is considered fine. I tend to > the long ones so they don't spam the channel, but it doesn't really matter.
[16:59] <rww> pop79: 4:59pm
[16:59] <Gun_Smoke> rww, yes, they can add up..
[16:59] <Gun_Smoke> nicolas, what do you need?
[16:59] <pop79> thanks rrw
[17:00] <Gnea> askereth: someone could mean sources.list when they say 'source', or the source code via deb-src, or the original source code .tgz from the original website, or the source of a patch.
[17:00] <Gnea> askereth: assumption is the mother of all troubleshooting tickets that wind up in /dev/null ;)
[17:00] <askereth> Gnea: i thought "without downloading it (the package) first" was disambiguative enough
[17:01] <Gnea> askereth: but then you're referring to 'it', which, when you re-read what you wrote, is referring to 'the source'
[17:01] <Stormbreaker> Anyone could help me to set ivtv on my Hauppauge WINTV PVR 150 please ?
[17:01] <padan> has anyone gotten concordance/congruity to work on ubuntu?  i installed concordance and the libs are sitting in /usr/local/lib ... yet when I try and import the libconcord module in python it bombs out
[17:02] <Gun_Smoke> Gnea, sources.list refers to /etc/apt/sources.list which apt looks to.
[17:02] <Gnea> askereth: but, that's okay, you got the answer you sought. I'm not trying to be hard on you, just trying to point out that not being specific enough has the capacity to cause problems. :)
[17:03] <Gnea> Gun_Smoke: thank you.

[17:03] <Mimi> Every day in the morning, I open Power Manager and make the brightness at 100%. Every day at night, I open Power Manager and set brightness to 50%.  If I dont, I gotta keep pushing Fn+Up, but obviously it reverts back to the set brightness after a minute. How can I automate this Power Brightness thing?
[17:03] <codeshot> I've just got the grey "a package manager is running" icon in the status bar along with an information icon telling me that the language settings have been changed and that I should restart my session. But I don't know why. I had just been running aptitude as root which would explain the package manager icon if there is a delay, but what about the language thing?

[17:03] <askereth> Gnea: got it anyway, thanks :)

[17:05] <codeshot> yes, but nothing at this time in unattended-upgrades.log
[17:06] <codeshot> sorry, that was @Gnea
[17:07] <Gnea> codeshot: are you running sshd and do you have multiple users on the system?
[17:08] <Gnea> codeshot: and when's the last time you restarted?
[17:08] <codeshot> I'm not running sshd, I do have multiple users on the system and I last restarted a day or two ago. The other user has not used the computer in several months.
[17:09] <Aji-Daha1a> is there a way to have ubuntu extend my desktop onto a monitor when I plug it in, and return to single monitor when I unplug it?
[17:09] <nicolas> when i open my amsn, it worked, and when it charged, i wait a very long time
[17:09] <nicolas> who can help me for that
[17:09] <codeshot> soory, forgot to put the user I was replying to again: it was at Gnea
[17:10] <Mimi> nicolas, does amsn "freeze"? Doesn't do anything?
[17:10] <Gnea> codeshot: no problem, i was in another desktop
[17:10] <nicolas> freeze?
[17:10] <Gnea> codeshot: don't always expect an immediate answer with or without the username
[17:11] <Zewalrus> hey folks
[17:11] <gidim> Kookookachoo.
[17:11] <Gnea> codeshot: are your other users part of the admin group?
[17:11] <codeshot> no
[17:11] <nicolas> i don t know
[17:11] <Mimi> nicolas, what language do you speak?

[17:11] <mcrawfor> hey folks, when I run an apt-get update on ubuntu server is there any easy way to get those info messages about the update like in desktop?
[17:12] <mcrawfor> that tell you when you need to restart etc?
[17:12] <Mimi> There you go :)  Do this, nicolas:   /join #ubuntu-fr
[17:12] <codeshot> Gnea: so I take it that some manual process is supposed to occur to change language-settings?
[17:12] <nicolas> thanks
[17:12] <Gnea> codeshot: that's usually how it works.. has something visibly changed as a result?
[17:13] <codeshot> no, and the settings look normal (English, some germanic translations, and all font options).

[17:13] <svat> hi, how can I downgrade from Intrepid to Hardy? It seems the upgrade didn't work...

[17:15] <svat> Gun_Smoke: over ssh? :( I shouldn't have tried upgrading in the first place, I guess...
[17:15] <Jack_Sparrow> svat, Restore from a previous backup
[17:15] <Gun_Smoke> svat, VPS? ask for a reinstall of whatever they offer.
[17:15] <Zewalrus> Someone Use the Psx Emulator here ??
[17:15] <erUSUL> pteague: grip
[17:16] <Gnea> codeshot: well, you could give the reboot and shot and see what happens
[17:16] <svat> Gun_Smoke: no, it's my own computer, except it's thousands of miles away. I'll see what I can do.
[17:16] <Gun_Smoke> svat, haha.. have fun.. what broke? why do you need to downgrade?
[17:16] <codeshot> Gnea: oh, it only asked me to restart my session (ie, log out and in again). Which sounds like a gconf setting got changed.
[17:17] <Gnea> codeshot: that's not unreasonable
[17:17] <svat> Gun_Smoke: I ran "sudo do-release-upgrade", it did some things (in the midst of which my connection broke down), and now it says the upgrade didn't succeed.
[17:18] <Gun_Smoke> svat, doesn't sound like the end of the world..
[17:18] <svat> yeah, it seems to still work :)
[17:19] <Gun_Smoke> you should be good.. I'd look at aptitude and see if you have any broken packages.. then edit your sources.list
[17:19] <codeshot> Gnea, But is it normal for a language setting to be changed without user interaction?

[17:20] <caimlas> I've got a curious problem with my wifi not working (or, seemingly, NetworkManager) after an upgrade to Intrepid from Hardy (8.04.1). With either the default 2.6.27-9-generic or 2.6.27-3-rt kernels, I get a bunch of "wifi0: invalid skb->cb magic" errors in the syslog. wifi still works fine w/ the old kernel (2.6.24-22-generic) from hardy. wifi card is "Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset (rev 01)" (ie hostap_pci) in
[17:20] <caimlas>  a thinkpad x30. I've read online of someone with the same problem, and they found it worked with the livecd, just not with the upgrade. might there be some files interfering with the functionality of the intrepid kernels I'm missing, or might there be a known bug?

[17:22] <caimlas> ziggy, the ubuntu livecd has an installation option on the disk.
[17:22] <ziggy> got me a 2gb usb stick today in order to burn a fixmbr disk, but the usb won't boot although my laptop supports usb-booting
[17:23] <caimlas> ziggy, you can also select the installer from the bootloader on the CD
[17:23] <ziggy> caimlas, can't install ubuntu, it's not my laptop and the intern hdd need to stay as it is, with a fixed mbr
[17:23] <caimlas> ziggy, ie either from within the livecd or from the livecd boot menu

[17:24] <ziggy> thx ubotto, will check
[17:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Decepticon, shift ctrl-c to copy
[17:24] <harlemdavvey> what's the offtopic room?
[17:24] <harlemdavvey> how is it called?
[17:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Decepticon, shift ctrl-v to paste
[17:24] <pop79> ubottu is a bot, ziggy
[17:24] <takophiliac> what ziggy is trying to say is that he can't install to hda0 as it is perhaps someone elses (a friends) computer.
[17:24] <Happosade> Hello
[17:24] <takophiliac> however, he wants to install ubuntu rather than run from a live cd and wants to do the install to a USB disk
[17:25] <ziggy> ubotto is helping, all that matters
[17:25] <Jack_Sparrow> harlemdavvey, the offtopic room wont help you with html programming, but you can search for one yourself
[17:25] <jamesrfla>  Can you guys tell me what device is causing the interrupt error? dmidecode http://pastebin.com/m57391673 Hear is the output of dmesg http://pastebin.com/m44d94dc6

[17:28] <Stanlin> chandru: what error message?
[17:28] <Bullen> the video image flickers and sometimes you can see a chequered pattern in it
[17:28] <chandru> when i tried to power on vmare it gives error as "Unable to change virtual machine power state: The process exited with an error: End of error message."
[17:28] <Kelen> Why there found a error "checking for OpenSSL... configure: error: Cannot locate ssl
[17:29] <Bullen> like, it flickers and shows a chequered pattern of video and black
[17:29] <Stanlin> chandru: it says: The process exited with an error:   nothing else
[17:29] <Stanlin> chandru: find the error
[17:29] <caimlas> jamesrfla, the 'buggy' device would be in the output of lspci -vv most likely, not the first pastebin you provided
[17:29] <Jack_Sparrow> BULLE, /join #Compiz
[17:29] <jim_p> Bullen, change the video output from the relevant options of each player to gl, gl2 or xv and see what suits you best
[17:29] <Kelen> Why there found a error "checking for OpenSSL... configure: error: Cannot locate ssl"?  is this anything wrong with me?
[17:29] <caimlas> jamesrfla, and, that link doesn't help me.
[17:29] <Bullen> ok, will try that
[17:30] <caimlas> Kelen, what are you trying to do?
[17:30] <Bullen> do you know how to do that in vlc?
[17:30] <mgolisch> Kelen: probably you didnt install the apropriate -dev package
[17:30] <jim_p> Bullen, no. i am an mplayer fan only. but i am sure its in video output options
[17:30] <Kelen> caimlas: just ./configure transmission -1.42
[17:30] <caimlas> chandru, well, what did you do? did you power it off w/o shutting it down?

[17:30] <Bullen> ok, will look at it, thanks for the help! :)
