[20:08] <bartmon> n8tuser: thanks, gdmflexiserver seems to be behind this quick user switching... I ran it from a console and got the same error but running it with its debug switch made it work! LOL to that and thank you again.
[20:08] <pisecx> Can anybody say what is the applet on the left hand site near network manager? http://s58.radikal.ru/i161/0901/09/c7165d07fe8b.jpg

[20:08] <beaterpc> How does Ubuntu work with Broadcom based Wifi chipsets?
[20:08] <iShock> stefg: Doesn't help ..
[20:08] <sockets> j_nwb, no problem :]
[20:08] <Sub101> ishock: what is your question?
[20:08] <beaterpc> I have had to use b43-fwcutter in the past to get the firmware working.
[20:09] <flugh> is there a global 'shut off the terminal-bell for everything, console, gui app, EVERYTHING' all in one setting? aside from ripping the wires out?
[20:09] <BLLASAE> iShock is the same as Wine, then?
[20:09] <tonsofpcs> you could cut them or short them instead...
[20:09] <BLLASAE> !samba |iShock
[20:09] <ardchoille> flugh: System > Preferences > Sound ?
[20:09] <Gerinych> beaterpc: you're gonna have to use fwcutter too
[20:10] <ardchoille> flugh: See the System Beep tab
[20:10] <stavros2> i have removed networkmanager, how can i set my ethernet to request a dhcp address on bootup?
[20:10] <iShock> Stop fucking !samba-ing me .. Sub101: I share it on Windows, come over here, and System -> Administration -> Printing doesn't seem to be able to see it when I browse for it .. Any idea?
[20:10] <j_nwb> sockets : just fyi, with the same cd which is not working on this machine, it worked on another machine.!!
[20:10] <beaterpc> They haven't come up with a graphical front end to the b43-fwcutter application?
[20:10] <bazhang> iShock, watch the language
[20:10] <Gerinych> beaterpc: no i dont think so

[20:12] <bazhang> BLLASAE, then dont suggest it
[20:12] <stavros2> stefg: ah, thank you
[20:12] <h00k> joejc, it does work quite well, I'm using the nvidia drivers
[20:12] <beaterpc> You need the windows drivers, maco, or the drivers from linuxwireless.org
[20:12] <MK13> nvidia here too
[20:13] <h00k> ldlework, have you checked the PCM setting?
[20:13] <MK13> what is he trying to set up?
[20:13] <tigreton> i have installed mysql, apt-get install mysql-client and mysql-admin. but when i try to connect, i don't know the password and the user, i think user is root, but, wich is the password? in the installation doesn't ask for a password
[20:13] <BCampbell> which nvida driver are you guys using?  I have 177 installed (6600gt) and i get lots of video problems
[20:13] <stefg> stavros2: i'd recommend installing gnome-network-admin , tho ... it's a gui for setting up that file
[20:13] <MK13> i use 173
[20:13] <ldlework> h00k, could you explain a bit more?
[20:13] <h00k> BCampbell, I am using 177, no problems here
[20:13] <h00k> ldlework, sure
[20:13] <Gerinych> im getting some sound delay when im playing 3d games
[20:13] <MK13> the windows glitch w/ 177, for me atleast
[20:13] <ardchoille> BCampbell: I have geforce 6200 and the 96 driver works best for this card here

[20:14] <h00k> ldlework, and then look for your PCM setting in there
[20:14] <h00k> ldlework, which audio card do you have?

[20:28] <Trel> bazhang: what I mean is in IRSSI I want to switch between channels, but the key combo is ALT+Left/Right but that instead is swithing TTys
[20:29] <CyberGabber> Trel: CTRL p and CTRL n
[20:29] <alephant> Trel: default keybindings in irssi let you use alt+1 alt+2 etc to switch to specific windows.
[20:29] <Trel> Well I'd actually prefer to change the TTY's keybinding
[20:30] <Trel> Is there any way to do that?

[20:32] <daktari> no window pops up
[20:33] <bobthefish> hello, i am having massive trouble getting audio to work
[20:33] <bobthefish> about to punch a hole in my screen, please help
[20:33] <vyom_at_prg> I have a mainboard with intel g41 graphics chipset, monitor's native resolution is 1650x1080,but latest X intel driver in Ubuntu doesnt support it,, help needed
[20:33] <__mikem> daktari, are you using the wubi binary that came on the ubuntu install CD?
[20:33] <daktari> i've used wubi before on this system but it's been a while so i'm at the point of thinking it's a programming bug but i'm willing to take suggestions
[20:33] <daktari> no it came from the net
[20:34] <Trel> alephant: I'm lost on that
[20:34] <darius__> guys two questions how to configure gnome panel and how to choose screensaver :)
[20:34] <__mikem> daktari, okay, the first thing you want to do is download an ubuntu ISO, burn it,and stick it in the drive, auto run should ask you if you want to use wubi to install
[20:34] <alephant> Trel: OK, hang on...
[20:34] <vigo> darktart: WUBI is neato, check the hashsums,,they looked good on mine
[20:34] <daktari> i downloaded it like 5 times
[20:34] <PMH-DK> hi there
[20:34] <__mikem> daktari, download an iso of ubuntu and burn it
[20:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Darknezz, I wont use nor recommend wubi and obviously not support it.  I strongly suggest you read what wubi is and how it differs from a regular install
[20:35] <__mikem> daktari, ubuntu ISOs come with wubi on it now
[20:35] <daktari> hold on i'll check that out
[20:35] <daktari> will get back to u on it
[20:35] <vigo> darktart: it only takes once, then is just like a winders program, double click, install
[20:36] <darius__> guys two questions how to configure gnome panel and how to choose screensaver :)
[20:36] <Jack_Sparrow> vigo, Until you destroy your ntfs partition and windows installation
[20:36] <MK13> daktari: can you not install in a different partition?
[20:36] <__mikem> vigo, I always had better luck with using wubi off of the ubuntu install CD
[20:36] <__mikem> MK13, he is probably not comfortable doing it
[20:36] <Trel> alephant: I actually don't need to have anything bound to cycling the TTY so just if there was a way to unset that, it'd be ok if it wasn't replace with anythign else
[20:36] <MK13> darius__: system -> preferences-> screensaver
[20:36] <vigo> __mikem: I agree on that.
[20:37] <Trel> I switch TTys with ctrl+alt F1 etc
[20:37] <alephant> Trel: Exactly
[20:37] <alephant> Trel: this is easy... 30 seconds
[20:37] <darius__> MK13:  thank you :D but how about gnome panel wheres application meniu? :)
[20:37] <bobthefish> anyone wanna help me? massive sound issues, very pissed. ALSA and OSS both detect my audio hardware, but nothing comes out when i play music nor does the system make a noize for errors
[20:37] <vigo> Jack_Sparrow: That is kinda the idea,,,destroy XP and put win2k 10g in its place
[20:38] <Jack_Sparrow> bobthefish, first thing to try is nummuing all the volum controls in the mixer all the way down then back up
[20:38] <__mikem> bobslaede, the only advice I can give you is not to use anything by creative labs
[20:38] <Gerinych> !samba
[20:38] <Jack_Sparrow> vigo, No it is never our intention to destroy a persons windows install..
[20:38] <bobthefish> Jack_Sparrow: did that, I do that each time when i change the drivers back and forth from ALSA and OSS

[20:40] <vyom_at_prg> nope intel
[20:40] <alephant> Trel:
[20:40] <jim_p> Jaffarkelshac, what sound card are you on?
[20:40] <Adyeths> would anyone happen to know why 8.10 seems to cause my computer to randomly lock up? I didn't have this problem with 8.04 and its really starting to get aggravating.
[20:40] <BCampbell> x-fi setup very easy use the driver from creative
[20:40] <vyom_at_prg> jim_p: nope intel
[20:40] <jim_p> Jaffarkelshac, did you have to compile the drivers yourself
[20:40] <n8tuser> !wireless | homeskillet
[20:41] <tawt> can someone please help me?  when i upgraded to 8.10 last night my menu.lst did not upgrade with it.  how can i get the new kernel to work?
[20:41] <Jack_Sparrow> BCampbell, Have a good howto link for it
[20:41] <maco> tawt: are you sure the kernel upgrade finished?
[20:41] <jim_p> vyom_at_prg, then i am sorry. all i can give you is my xorg.conf if you want to
[20:41] <vyom_at_prg> jim_p, Its intel g41 chipset on a gigabyte motherboard intel c2d processor
[20:41] <Jaffarkelshac> its not sound card related, something to do with disabling gnome screen saver. i looked at the mplayer in terminal
[20:41] <n8tuser> Adyeths -> why you even upgraded to 8.10? what was the reason?
[20:41] <tawt> maco: i thought it did
[20:41] <vigo> I reverted to 8.04 for funzies, I like the new install of it.
[20:41] <Trel> alephant: yes?
[20:41] <maco> tawt: "sudo dpkg --configure -a" to make sure the package finished configuring
[20:41] <vyom_at_prg> jim_p, its ok jim,thanks anyways
[20:42] <n8tuser> tawt -> is the new kernel and initrd in your /boot ?
[20:42] <BCampbell> Jack_Sparrow:  no link, just went to creative.com, ran thru the "which card do you have" found the small driver ran it, rebooted and sound..I have a X-Fi Platinum
[20:42] <sockets> what's so different about 8.04 and 8.10?
[20:42] <Adyeths> I wanted to upgrade to some newer versions of software that it contained. that was the reason. I'm seriously considering downgrading though because of these lockups.
[20:42] <alephant> Trel: You're going to use some combination of ``showkey -s'' to display the keycode you're interested in unsetting, ``dumpkeys'' to figure out the proper syntax to set a keycode to "NULL", and then  ``loadkeys'' to set it.  That webpage looks like the best piece of documentation out there, and the respective manpages should get you the rest of the way there.
[20:42] <sockets> i figured 8.10 was the latest?
[20:42] <jim_p> can anyone help me on module assistant? i want to make a module out of ov51x-jpeg-source and i get some weird error. pastebin here >> http://pastebin.com/d145b3e52        the │ is the pipe character >> |
[20:42] <n8tuser> sockets -> latest dont mean the best
 no it's not
[20:42] <Jack_Sparrow> BCampbell, Glad you got it,, tons of people have issues with that card
[20:42] <Trel> alephant: but wouldn't that make it not work with any program?
[20:42] <Gerinych> im trying to install a network printer - lexmark x73 shared on windows. i used samba. when i try to print a test page the printer seems to freeze up, it took a page but it wouldnt print anything
[20:43] <Jack_Sparrow> !cups
[20:43] <n8tuser> tawt if it is not, then nothing was upgraded. upgrade should have put those kernel and initrd there (new)
[20:43] <alephant> Hm.
[20:43] <maco> tawt: its also possible that you went from like -3.20 to -3.21 which doesnt make a new entry in the menu. only going to -4 would do that
[20:44] <tawt> n8tuser: maco: ok, i typed in the command, now what's happening
[20:44] <alephant> Probably?  So you either want to set it to nul or to itself -- that's why I say look at the ``dumpkeys'' output -- you want to make it do the same thing as pressing `a' (send yourself)
[20:44] <BCampbell> Jack_Sparrow:  doubt I did anything great.  Maybe just lucky.  The drive is very small 68.8 K  can email it to you if you'd like
[20:45] <MK13> what is the right kernel for 8.10 anyway?
[20:45] <Jack_Sparrow> BCampbell, Just a link to pass on to others is all I need. I dont have one.
[20:45] <alephant> Does that make sense?  Like don't bind alt-right to "switch console", but to "alt-right"
[20:45] <sockets> n8tuser, should i check out 8.04? i've been playing around with 8.10 for a few days.. have you tried both? what do you recommend?
[20:45] <tawt> maco: it says my system is up to date
[20:45] <n8tuser> sockets -> my preference is the stable LTS
[20:45] <alephant> Trel: look at keykode 59 (F1):

[20:46] <vigo> n8tuser: That is one of the reasons I reverted , I also needed the server stuff.
[20:46] <DasEi> mars__:you want to store the mails locally ?
[20:46] <mars__> i have root login to that server but it is external (not in lan).
[20:46] <n8tuser> Lokiase -> look at your /var/log/messages to see where it hangs
[20:46] <vyom_at_prg> jim_p, The installation is fine
[20:47] <Trel> alephant: I'm still confused, if I modifiy it in any way, won't that make it no longer get picked up by other programs run from that terminal?
[20:47] <maco> tawt: then it was probably an upgrade that *doesn't* require a new menu.lst entry
[20:47] <mars__> DasEi: yeah... over internet. thus the line must be secure.
[20:47] <n8tuser> vigo -> a good idea.
[20:47] <Lokiase> n8tuser: isnt it just an option?
[20:47] <vyom_at_prg> jim_p, but after that when I choose intel as the driver in xorg.conf..it says (EE) No devices found
[20:47] <vigo> :-)
[20:47] <alephant> Trel: Right now it *isn't* being picked up by other programs.  That's the problem.
[20:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Lokiase, that is more of an acpi apic or apm issue, fixed by command line / grub changes
[20:47] <Gerinych> im trying to install a network printer - lexmark x73 shared on windows. i used samba. when i try to print a test page the printer seems to freeze up, it took a page but it wouldnt print anything
[20:47] <maco> tawt: your kernel's naming format is something like 2.6.27-3.20 (for example). if the 27 or the 3 changes, you get a new entry. if the 20 changes, you don't.
[20:47] <n8tuser> Lokiase -> well see if the kernel syslog it in there
[20:47] <tawt> maco, but when i do "uname -r" i get "2.6.24-22-generic"
[20:48] <DasEi> mars__: if you wanto get your hands dirty configure fetchmail or instaead take thunderbird and make it store local
[20:48] <alephant> Trel: right now alt-right is bound to "increment console'.  you want it to be bound to 'alt-right', passed through to whatever program has stdin open.
[20:48] <alephant> hang on
[20:48] <alephant> I'll prove it to you :-)
[20:48] <Lokiase> Jack_Sparrow: how can I change it?, i'm noob in ubuntu...
[20:48] <BellinXFelon> I am new to xubuntu, and I have a seagate free agent external hard drive, when i plugged it in it auto-mounted, but I cannot write anything to it nor save anything to it, I need to know how to change the permissions/owner of the drive
[20:48] <sockets> anything missing from 8.04?
[20:48] <maco> tawt: right, because only the 24 and 22 really matter for the ABI
[20:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Lokiase, Im working on some stuff and busy, just trying to point you in the right direction
[20:49] <jim_p> vyom_at_prg, give me some time to think
[20:49] <DasEi> BellinXFelon: open a trml...
[20:49] <Trel> wait, woudl that be bound in the /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/defkeymap.map file?
[20:49] <Adyeths> would anyone happen to know why 8.10 seems to cause my computer to randomly lock up? I didn't have this problem with 8.04 and its really starting to get aggravating.
[20:49] <mars__> DasEi: Ok i guess i will look into both and figure out what is best. thanks.
[20:49] <BellinXFelon> ok
[20:49] <remco_> Hi all... I'm upgrading from 6.06 to 8.04 and I have this error: E: Malformed 3rd word in the Status line
[20:49] <remco_> E: Error occurred while processing libc6 (UsePackage2)
[20:49] <remco_> E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
[20:49] <remco_> E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened
[20:49] <FloodBot1> remco_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:49] <Lokiase> Jack_Sparrow: your pointing is to difficult for me :(
[20:49] <maco> tawt: the package should, i think say the . bit, but it doesnt change the ABI, so proprietary drivers (like fglrx for ati cards) dont need to be reinstalled
[20:49] <remco_> can anyone help ?
[20:49] <Pirate_Hunter> im trying to get imperishable night running through wine but the fps is hell slow how can i improve it? I think the problem is due to directx but not even sure
[20:49] <MK13> Adyeths: using any new drivers?
[20:49] <remco_> k
[20:49] <BellinXFelon> dasEi terminal is open
[20:49] <DasEi> mars__: sudo apt-get install fetchmail thunderbird
[20:49] <maco> tawt: the . bit is just which time it was compiled. it means it was just a small change.
[20:49] <Adyeths> I'm using whatever came with 8.10
[20:49] <homeskillet> i have verizon fios as my internet provider and my desktop is directly plugged into the wireless router and my laptop is using the wifi signal. ubuntu is asking me for 'wep index' (1-4) and 'Authentication' (open system or shared key). what do i put?
[20:50] <vigo> !pastebin
[20:50] <maco> Adyeths: using 802.11n and an intel 4965 card?
[20:50] <DasEi> mars__: man fetchmail / google mailprovider thunderbird
[20:50] <Adyeths> nope
[20:50] <maco> Adyeths: did you check the release notes?
[20:50] <tawt> maco, so is there any way to boot into a kernel designed for 8.10 instead of still using the 8.04 kernels i have?
[20:50] <DasEi> BellinXFelon: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[20:50] <maco> tawt: you can install one
[20:50] <mars__> DasEi: I do not have a mailprovider ;)
[20:51] <tawt> maco: how would i go about that
[20:51] <remco_> Has anyone an idea about the dist-upgrade error ?
[20:51] <mars__> DasEi: my server on the other side.
[20:51] <DasEi> BellinXFelon: mount | pastebinit
[20:51] <vigo> remco: Please use the pastebin, then someone smarter than I am can look and possibly help
[20:51] <Rencx> !paste
[20:51] <Adyeths> I haven't been able to find anything in the release notes to explain why its locking up on me.
[20:51] <MK13> does anything emulate DirectX in linux?
[20:51] <DasEi> BellinXFelon: give url from last cmd here
[20:51] <vyom_at_prg> jim_p, ok sure
[20:51] <BellinXFelon> what would that be
[20:51] <oipat> MK13: wine
[20:51] <erUSUL> !wine | MK13
[20:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Adyeths, Several people lately have narrowed it down to wifi drivers
[20:52] <MK13> errr, i really don't like wine :(
[20:52] <darius__> MK13:  try cedega i guess :)
[20:52] <Adyeths> well, I don't use wifi. so thats not whats causing my problems.
[20:52] <temppy> MK13: heh, only hardware can be emulated   :p
[20:52] <Lokiase> hello all, when I shut down ubuntu it stays on the logout spash screen, where can I change that option so ubuntu and my pc shut completely down? anyone else?
[20:52] <antonehenry> Hello. I need someone to look my fstab or something.  http://pastebin.com/m1f1ca038  I am unable to drag and drop files or create folders on my second hard drive.  If you could help, please let me know.  Thank you so much.
[20:52] <MK13> well, u know what i mean
[20:52] <maco> tawt: packages.ubuntu.com, find the 2.6.27-x-generic where x is the highest number. install that one. but if youve got binary ati or fglrx, you'll have a problem. because then you need the newer graphical drivers, and then you need a newer X and then you need to upgrade all your graphical apps...
[20:52] <vyom_at_prg> jim_p, default driver with ubuntu allows me 1280X1024 so,,i am ok with untill you/me or someoine else finds a solution
[20:52] <erUSUL> MK13: try the comercial derivatives you pay but you get support. cedega
[20:52] <maco> tawt: at least, its possible to get into that mess if you need binary drivers
[20:52] <EraZ> I need to write a simple CGI script that tells u how many times the script has been accessed (as in how many times the script.cgi is run in the browser) per day
[20:52] <EraZ> any tips?
[20:52] <cesar8> Escriba el texto aquí....hola
[20:53] <maco> Lokiase: it just shows the loading bar counting down then doesnt power off? or it goes to the login screen?
[20:53] <sockets> Erazer? from GoG?
[20:53] <erUSUL> !es | cesar8
[20:53] <Rencx> Problem, after Ubuntu loading screen after boot it stops and show this http://paste.ubuntu.com/106636/ I need wait like 3minutes till is loads login screen.
[20:53] <MK13> nah, it not that important (I dual boot vista + ubuntu) just was trying some consolidation
[20:53] <sockets> what do you guys recommend 8.04 or 8.10? only answer if you've tried both...
[20:53] <cesar8> hola
[20:53] <jim_p> vyom_at_prg, cant you just... pin the resolution in xorg.conf??
[20:53] <maco> sockets: 8.04
[20:53] <Lokiase> maco: shows the bar, counts the bar off and doesnt power off
[20:53] <oipat> EraZ: Use a plaintext file with a number and increment it? Dunno if its a good solution, though
[20:53] <sockets> thanks maco
[20:54] <maco> Lokiase: is this after you've suspended or hibernated then resumed or always?
[20:54] <Trel> alephant: I'm completely lost here
[20:54] <Lokiase> maco: a fresh install, nothing changed
[20:54] <maco> sockets: 8.04 has older stuff, a few less features, but its gotten a lot more stability updates
[20:54] <antonehenry> could someone please help me with my second hard drive?  the last thing i need to do is let it accept me editing it's contents
[20:54] <Trel> not only can I not figure out what to do, but when I tried to do a cat on /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/defkeymap.map to hopefully get some idea
[20:54] <maco> Lokiase: but did you boot up fresh then try to shut down, or did you suspend in between?
[20:54] <Trel> that files doesn't exist
[20:54] <EraZ> oipat: i thought of something like that, but how do i increment the number when the script is activated? I wouldn't know how to do it (absolute beginner...)
[20:54] <Adyeths> sockets: I would say go with 8.04 because 8.10 randomly locks up for no apparent reason.
[20:54] <MK13> sockets: agree with maco, I use 8.10 but can tell it is buggier than 8.04
[20:54] <Kyosys2> could somebody please help me getting linux to recognize my plustek 9636t parallel port scanner?
[20:54] <Jack_Sparrow> sockets, No harm in installing both if you have the drive space
[20:54] <vyom_at_prg> jim_p, I have tried that jim
[20:54] <oipat> EraZ: depends on the language
[20:54] <tawt> maco: can you link me the site for the kernel download?
[20:54] <vyom_at_prg> it doesn't work
[20:55] <Rencx> Slow Starting Problem: After Ubuntu loading screen after boot it stops and show this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/106636/ than I need wait like 3minutes till is loads login screen and i can login.
[20:55] <sockets> thanks guys, i'll check out 8.04 then
[20:55] <meoblast> anyone know of any HTML editors that update links?
[20:55] <alephant> Trel: what's the problem?  The manpages and webpage are pretty clear... I can't really help you understand unless you ask actual questions...
[20:55] <EraZ> oipat: can i do with with just the bare shell scripting (no perl , ..)
[20:55] <Lokiase> maco: i installed ubuntu, installed all updates, and restarted, now I shut it down but it doesnt power off
[20:55] <vyom_at_prg> jim_p, Also the xorg file in ubuntu 8.10 is quite short and abstract
[20:55] <antonehenry> Hello. I need someone to look my fstab or something. http://pastebin.com/m1f1ca038 I am unable to drag and drop files or create folders on my second hard drive. If you could help, please let me know. Thank you so much.
[20:55] <maco> tawt: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/linux-image-2.6.27-9-generic
[20:55] <vyom_at_prg> jim_p, I think some values are dynamically chosen
[20:56] <n8tuser> Lokiase -> i asked you to look into /var/log/messages,  any hints?
[20:56] <oipat> EraZ: Yes, but I don't really know how. Not a big shellscripter myself.
[20:56] <maco> Lokiase: reboot works but shut down doesn?
[20:56] <Kyosys2> could anybody please help me with my parallel scanner?
[20:56] <tawt> maco: thank you
[20:56] <Lokiase> maco: indeed
[20:56] <EraZ> oipat: Ok thanks, i'll google some more then :)
[20:56] <Trel> alephant: I'm not understanding either man pages OR that site. Next I tried to look at the keymap file to see what it said so maybe I could get an idea from that, and the FILE DOESN'T EXIST
[20:56] <jim_p> vyom_at_prg, make it big and precise. the values are not dynamically chosen if they are not there. they are RANDOMLY chosen

[20:56] <Rencx> Slow Starting Problem: After Ubuntu loading screen after boot it stops and show this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/106636/ than I need wait like 3minutes till is loads login screen and i can login. Can somone help me with this?
[20:56] <maco> Lokiase: freaky. thatd be a acpi bug, i think. can you file it on http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs ?
[20:57] <Kyosys2> bazhang, I have sane, it's not recognizing it
[20:57] <bazhang> joejc, that is offtopic here
[20:57] <Jack_Sparrow> antonehenry, I dont see your mount point in that fstab
[20:57] <jim_p> vyom_at_prg, here is my xorg.conf. really exagerated on the fglrx options, but you will get an idea                   http://7g.pri.ee/mine.conf
[20:57] <alephant> Trel: Yeah, that part is outdated.  But ``dumpkeys'' will show you what the current keymap is.  Same thing as looking at the file.
[20:57] <antonehenry> Jack_Sparrow: thanks for looking.  where would i include a mountpoint
[20:57] <Trel> "Next, we have to assign the scancode to a keycode. This is done using the command setkeycodes. This requires some care, as it is not obvious which keycodes are actually free for use. You can get some idea by looking in the defkeymap.map file."
[20:57] <antonehenry> ?
[20:57] <n8tuser> Rencx -> modify your grub entry  to remove quiet so you can see the streaming syslog entries

[20:58] <peri> might I ask a question about an ALSA bug that ties the playback and record sliders together
[20:58] <Jack_Sparrow> antonehenry, One sec and lets try to mount manually..
[20:58] <Rencx> n8tuser i new to Ubuntu i need help
[20:58] <n8tuser> Lokiase -> you have to look at the tail end as those are the latest entries
[20:58] <Trel> alephant: you don't understand, I have no idea what I'm doing at this point
[20:58] <antonehenry> Jack_Sparrow: the disk is mounted.  it's sda1.  i just cannot drag and drop files into it.
[20:58] <maco> Lokiase: bug = its broken code. file bug = tell the developers by giving all the information on that site. when it asks what the bug's in, tell it "acpi-support"
[20:59] <joeb3_> antonehenry, put the uid and uid entry right behind the umask entry. (seperate with commas)  0  2 should be at the end of the line
[20:59] <Trel> alephant: I am not understanding something here
[20:59] <vyom_at_prg> jim_p, check here, my xorg file has a totla of 10 lines..http://rafb.net/p/Uh5HqV39.html
[20:59] <antonehenry> joeb3:  thanks.  i will try that now

[21:00] <Trel> alephant: and more importantly since I want to CHANGE a key's thing, I need to know what to edit, the guide is talking about adding, not changing
[21:01] <antonehenry> joeb3_: so the spaces are wrong?
[21:01] <Jack_Sparrow> antonehenry, You can or can't ?
[21:01] <vigo> Ubuntu Forums is a good place to spend about 2 days at reading, also make a folder in the browser so that you can look at the data and print it up at your liesure.
[21:01] <ortsvorsteher> !br
[21:01] <Rencx> n8tuser can you give me step by step in private?
[21:01] <AHemlocksLie> I've got an oldish version of Ubuntu, I think 7.10, and I've managed to mess something up. I haven't used it in forever, and so I let it update, although I dunno what all it updated. After a while, I turned on Compiz, and it flipped out. Now, every time I start any sort of window server, I just get a white screen with a mouse cursor. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[21:01] <n8tuser> Rencx -> it is not modifying the log file, more of looking at it for hints what transpired during shutdown
[21:01] <joeb3_> antonehenry, all the options should be together.
[21:01] <antonehenry> Jack_Sparrow: i can make dirs in terminal.  just not in the graphical interface
[21:01] <antonehenry> joeb3_: thanks.  trying now
[21:02] <Jack_Sparrow> antonehenry, sudo mkdir /media/techsupport && sudo mount /dev/sda5 /media/techsupport           that is all from a terminal.. I dont understand what you are saying
[21:02] <Rencx> n8tuser ok then lets start and say what i need do
[21:02] <vigo> This install looks good,,going to make backups now....
[21:02] <AzulFin> hi, how can I fix battery charging estimation time? Battery is charged in normal ~2 hours time but estimation says something like "Laptop battery 451806 hours 20 minutes until charged". Ubuntu 8.10, Acer Aspire One.
[21:02] <n8tuser> Rencx -> i suggest you pick up a book on ubuntu  the one by Craig Sobell is a good one,  practical guide to ubuntu i believe
[21:03] <antonehenry> Jack_Sparrow: if i try to copy files from another drive to the sda1 mountpoint of /media/server1.... it does not work.
[21:03] <Trel> alephant: Ok, I think I have some idea what I need to change, and what I need to change it TO, but can't seem to figure out how to CHANGE
[21:03] <n8tuser> Rencx -> here is a snapshot of the book http://www.sobell.com/UB1/index.html

[21:05] <alephant> Trel: look at that web page, where is says "loadkeys - << EOF"
[21:05] <n8tuser> Rencx -> understanding how things work in linux helps you understand and hopefully solve the issues
[21:05] <AHemlocksLie> is there any way to figure out your Ubuntu version from inside Windows?
[21:05] <Trel> alephant: he's adding, I'm trying to change it
[21:05] <MK13> peri: is there not a button that looks like links to move them seperatly?
[21:06] <marks> bazhang?  como faço iso?
[21:06] <n8tuser> Lokiase -> look for some more clues, most likely i suspect its like networking failing to shutdown properly
[21:06] <antonehenry> Jack_Sparrow: i am using xubuntu, just in case that matters for some reason
[21:06] <Rencx> n8tuser i will read other guides but can you help me for now?
[21:06] <bazhang> marks, brasil?
[21:06] <alephant> Trel: What do you think you think you have to change and what you need to change it to?
[21:06] <Jack_Sparrow> AHemlocksLie, Do you have the ext driver install in windows for accessing your ext drive?
[21:06] <bazhang> marks, /join #ubuntu-br
[21:06] <Lokiase> n8tuser: bonobo-activation-server connection refused
[21:06] <n8tuser> Rencx -> what was the issue? things went so fast i got distracted
[21:06] <AzulFin> AHemlocksLie: if you can read /etc/lsb-release from linux drive you can find out version
[21:07] <n8tuser> Lokiase -> look at the tail end (shutdown), not at the beginning (booting)
[21:07] <Trel> I think I need to change "alt keycode 106 = Incr_Console" to "alt keycode 106 = meta_keycode 106"
[21:07] <Trel> I might be 100% wrong
[21:07] <marcolovich> anyone here from ottawa?
[21:07] <AHemlocksLie> yeah, I have the ext drivers, so that should work. Thanks, Jack and Azul

[21:08] <marcolovich> then
[21:08] <guntbert> !ubuntu
[21:08] <n8tuser> Rencx -> i prefer to stay here so anyone can correct me if I mis-spoke or misdirect you
[21:08] <Jack_Sparrow> marcolovich, STOP read the topic
[21:08] <MK13> peri: what is ur chipset?
[21:09] <peri> MK13:the record microphone level is tied to the playback microphone level.......and same goes for the rest of the sliders....master, line, ect ect
[21:09] <n8tuser> Lokiase -> perhaps you can post your /var/log/messages in pastebin for us to peek and maybe we will get some hints

[21:11] <Lokiase> n8tuser: I did
[21:11] <Jack_Sparrow> antonehenry, Do I see you trying to set root to a fat partition?
[21:12] <DasEi> antonehenry: you have no root ?
[21:12] <antonehenry> i'm not running linux on the fat partition.
[21:12] <Rencx> n8tuser: it will help you to see what i need to do?
[21:13] <BadElvis> hi! would it be possible to control ubuntus system master volume through the serial port with an external device? what would be the best approach for this?
[21:13] <antonehenry> Jack_Sparrow: and DasEi:  I'm not sure what you mean by root.  I think i have one.
[21:13] <FrozenFire[work]> Hello all. Does gnome include a utility to launch a dialogue in the GUI, from the command-line, to ask for input? I want to write a command that will ask for certain input such as a username, password, host, etc, using a dialogue. I want to do this from a bash function.
[21:13] <peri> MK!3:I have a X-fi
[21:13] <Jack_Sparrow> antonehenry, What version of ubuntu and how was it installed?
[21:14] <CaptainMorgan> does anyone have amarok 2 installed on their 8.04 or 8.10 ?
[21:14] <CaptainMorgan> Gnome?
[21:14] <antonehenry> Jack_Sparrow: xubuntu, and i installed it by making the iso you get on the website
[21:14] <CaptainMorgan> it's not in the repos and I can't download it after activating every repo found
[21:14] <Trel> Damn, so close
[21:15] <Rencx>  n8tuser: here it is :) http://paste.ubuntu.com/106649/
[21:15] <peri> MK13: How do I discover my soundcard chipset???
[21:15] <yimer> hey for some reason im not hearing any music coming out of my computer right now why?
[21:15] <Jack_Sparrow> erUSUL, Are you here?
[21:15] <yimer> its playing a song and everything
[21:15] <CaptainMorgan> yimer, well, that's a good question
[21:15] <tonsofpcs> how do i find out the ipp url of a printer that I am sharing with cups?
[21:15] <yimer> lol i know
[21:15] <erUSUL> Jack_Sparrow: yep
[21:15] <tonsofpcs> or uri as it were
[21:16] <yimer> its a great question
[21:16] <peri> MK!#:I have a Creative Soundblaster X-fi
[21:16] <Lokiase> n8tuser: and now
[21:16] <Jack_Sparrow> erUSUL, can you look at line 6 for me.. http://pastebin.com/m1f1ca038
[21:16] <yimer> with hopefully a simple answer
[21:16] <Gobby> Does anyone have a ¨startup¨" bug
[21:16] <Gobby> i mean in photoshop cs2
[21:16] <yimer> Music is playing but no sound
[21:16] <yimer> any ideas?
[21:16] <n8tuser> Rencx -> modify that file and remove the "quiet" on line 128 then reboot to see what is going on during boot
[21:16] <Wardje> CaptainMorgan: isnt amorak 2 only out for a few weeks? things dont get added to the repos quickly
[21:17] <antonehenry> Jack_Sparrow: thank you for all the effort, i appreciate it.
[21:17] <CaptainMorgan> November Wardje
[21:17] <stmartin> Could you possibly tell me what is /etc/network/interfaces for?
[21:17] <n8tuser> Lokiase -> well thats the only solution i can give you for now, until you have read the book
[21:17] <Jack_Sparrow> antonehenry, I am a bit preoccupied, but that does not look right
[21:17] <CaptainMorgan> hmm... maybe not
[21:17] <erUSUL> Jack_Sparrow: looking... mount point / "check" file system type vfat "FAIL" 0.o!!
[21:17] <Wardje> big chance you might have to wait till 9.04 till it's added
[21:17] <Lokiase> n8tuser: book?
[21:17] <erUSUL> Jack_Sparrow: is that from a running system???
[21:17] <Wardje> you can always get source and compile it yourself though
[21:17] <Jack_Sparrow> erUSUL, thanks, that is antonehenry 's fstab
[21:17] <Wardje> I assume :O
[21:17] <jonaskoelker> hi all.  What does "RoQA" mean?  [in the ctx of packaging and package lifecycles]
[21:18] <MK131> peri: sorry I have HD Audio :(, doesnt give that wired glitch
[21:18] <MK131> weird*
[21:18] <Tekumel> Request of Quality Assurance? Just a guess
[21:18] <JohnPhys> Is anyone having trouble with Hardy kernel 23 and connecting to WPA enterprise networks with intel wireless?
[21:18] <Jack_Sparrow> erUSUL, Just wnated to make sure I was not crazy
[21:18] <Trel> dammit, it's not working, anyone know what to set a key to to get Meta_Right
[21:18] <Trel> when I try Meta_Right, it sets it to nul
[21:18] <antonehenry> so that line seems wrong Jack_Sparrow and erUSUL ?
[21:18] <CaptainMorgan> Wardje, that's unacceptable - I'm using LTS
[21:18] <jonaskoelker> Trel: Meta_R ?
[21:18] <n8tuser> Lokiase -> never mind.. i gave you some hints on how to look for ideas to troubleshoot, now work on it
[21:18] <Jack_Sparrow> antonehenry, Is this a running ubuntu installation?
[21:18] <jonaskoelker> Trel: that'd be my guess--shift and alt (IIRC) are _L and _R
[21:19] <n8tuser> jonaskoelker -> how that crosscable worked?
[21:19] <CaptainMorgan> Wardje, tried to compile from source.. it demanded kde packages which I can't find
[21:19] <CaptainMorgan> since I'm runnign Gnome :)
[21:19] <erUSUL> Jack_Sparrow: well that's what its there maybe he make a mistake while editing and only need to 's/vfat/ext3/' from a ivecd
[21:19] <peri> MK131: i c.....thanks!
[21:19] <jonaskoelker> n8tuser: I found out the nic in one of my boxes was a bit loose.  Poke it back and forth, everything worked fine
[21:19] <stmartin> c
[21:20] <Trel> jonaskoelker: it has keycode 106 = Right
[21:20] <n8tuser> jonaskoelker -> alright, i thought so, it was either the cable or loose connectivity...am glad you had it resolved
[21:20] <yimer> so no idea?
[21:20] <erUSUL> antonehenry: line 6 says that your root filesystem is vfat... it is wrong probably is ext3
[21:20] <stmartin> Could you possibly tell me what is /etc/network/interfaces for?
[21:20] <jonaskoelker> n8tuser: hey, you know what RoQA means?
[21:20] <Trel> does that make a difference
[21:20] <Jack_Sparrow> erUSUL, His question was unrelated to root
[21:20] <jonaskoelker> n8tuser: [in the context of packaging]
[21:20] <yimer> anyone have any idea why no music is coming out of my speakers
[21:20] <CaptainMorgan> yimer, how about turning your volume up?
[21:20] <yimer> its up all the way
[21:20] <Jack_Sparrow> antonehenry, sudo fdisk -l           last letter is L
[21:20] <tonsofpcs> How do I access a shared printer with another system? [IPP not SMB]
[21:20] <CaptainMorgan> yimer, how about making the sure the power is on?
[21:20] <antonehenry> erUSUL: it is fat32
[21:20] <jonaskoelker> Trel: huh?  I don't understand.  A keysym has a keycode?
[21:20] <DasEi> yimer:alsamixer installed ?
[21:20] <CaptainMorgan> yimer, you're gonna have to dig a little harder than that
[21:20] <yimer> lol its a laptop
[21:21] <carbon21> Hey, does anyone know a channel that is about linux c++?
[21:21] <stmartin> I suddenly removed /etc/network/interfaces, how to recover it?
[21:21] <erUSUL> Jack_Sparrow: yep... maybe when adding lines 10/11 he changes line 6 by mistake
[21:21] <Trel> jonaskoelker hold on, lemme try what you said, if it doesn't work, I'll elaborate
[21:21] <CaptainMorgan> stmartin, why did you do that?
[21:21] <FrozenFire[work]> Hello all. Does gnome include a utility to launch a dialogue in the GUI, from the command-line, to ask for input? I want to write a command that will ask for certain input such as a username, password, host, etc, using a dialogue. I want to do this from a bash function.
[21:21] <antonehenry> erUSUL: and Jack_Sparrow: it is a fat32 partition.  i need it to work with windows over my network
[21:21] <n8tuser> jonaskoelker -> i dont know about that one
[21:21] <AzulFin> I got tip to my battery charge estimation problem (to cleanup ~/.gnome2/gnome-power-manager/ ) .. seems to be effective
[21:21] <yimer> what is alexthingy?
[21:21] <Jack_Sparrow> erUSUL, thanks..  but see his response above
[21:21] <stmartin> CaptainMorgan, I did it because I need to recover Network Manager :D
[21:21] <stmartin> I was desperate :D
[21:21] <FrozenFire[work]> For instance, I want to be able to build a quick front-end for sshfs in bash, which will ask for the parameters in a GUI dialogue
[21:21] <stmartin> but obviously it wasn't the problem
[21:21] <erUSUL> antonehenry: which one is fat ?
[21:22] <yimer> alsamixer?
[21:22] <yimer> alsamixer? what is that?
[21:22] <DasEi> yimer: please return here
[21:22] <JohnPhys> stmartin: In the future, try just renaming the file.
[21:22] <yimer> alsamixer? what is that?
[21:22] <TimeLord_> he guys i have an update problem with ubuntu 8.10, i run kernel 2.6.27-9 and it still says it wants to update to 2.6.27-7. ?wtf?
[21:22] <yimer> im using amarok
[21:22] <DasEi> !pm > yimer
[21:22] <cj> hey all
[21:22] <Trel> jonaskoelker: the lines now are
[21:22] <Trel> "keycode 106 = Right"
[21:22] <antonehenry> erUSUL: and Jack_Sparrow sda1 is a fat32 partition, and there is not a thing on it at all.  it is a brand new hard drive.  linux is run on scd0
[21:22] <DasEi> yimer: sudo apt-get install alsamixer
[21:22] <stmartin> JohnPhys, I will learn it. Can interfaces somehow disturb something?
[21:22] <Trel> "alt keycode 106 = Meta_R"
[21:22] <CaptainMorgan> yimer, did you try it another player? like totem or ryhtmbox ?
[21:23] <yimer> i tried the other one that comes with ubuntu
[21:23] <erUSUL> antonehenry: maybe you are confusing it with /dev/sd*b*1 (b not a)
[21:23] <CaptainMorgan> yimer, here's a big question: do you receive any errors when attempting to play music?
[21:23] <yimer> rythm i tried
[21:23] <yimer> nope
[21:23] <yimer> no errors
[21:23] <cj> I'd like to debootstrap an edubuntu hardy onto my daughter's new eee.  can someone give me some pointers?
[21:23] <JohnPhys> stmartin: If it's not set up correctly, yes.  Though I think with network manager the only stuff in there should be the loopback
[21:23] <CaptainMorgan> all this information would've been helpful at the get-go
[21:23] <jonaskoelker> Trel: "alt keycode ..." <--- the "alt" part looks suspicious to me; that's not xmodmap syntax I'm familiar with
[21:23] <CaptainMorgan> and as a result, I'm tired
[21:23] <erUSUL> antonehenry: but anyway can you post the output of "sudo fdisk -l" in a pastebin ??
[21:24] <antonehenry> erUSUL: and Jack_Sparrow : i'm sorry sda1 is the fat32 drive.  i run linux on sdb.
[21:24] <stmartin> JohnPhys, but now it is deleted. Is there any way to recover it ? :)
[21:24] <antonehenry> erUSUL: yes
[21:24] <yimer> what will this alsa thing do for me?
[21:24] <ortsvorsteher> !alsa
[21:24] <Jack_Sparrow> antonehenry, your fstab is showing /  which is root and cannot be on a fat 32 so line 6 needs to be changed to sdb
[21:24] <yimer> dasei it couldnt find that pacage
[21:25] <DasEi> yimer: sudo apt-get install alsamixergui  ,sorry
[21:25] <erUSUL> antonehenry: please add the output of "sudo blkid"
[21:25] <slasher> http://sg10scanner.com/sg1/1/10187
[21:25] <Trel> jonaskoelker: that was there to begin with
[21:25] <antonehenry> erUSUL: http://pastebin.com/m6df7bac2
[21:25] <Trel> jonaskoelker: do 'dumpkeys | grep keycode 106'
[21:25] <Anuhl_Sehks> hello, when is next ubuntu coming out? after 8.10
[21:26] <Trel> er 'dumpkeys | grep "keycode 106" '

[21:26] <yhuang> usually half a year
[21:26] <jonaskoelker> Trel: oh, I thought you were playing with xmodmap.  I don't know about console keymaps...
[21:26] <Trel> oh ok
[21:26] <Jack_Sparrow> antonehenry, http://pastebin.com/m603d7fab
[21:26] <erUSUL> antonehenry: well as Jack_Sparrow said you have to change line 6 to say ext3 instead of vfat
[21:26] <Rencx> n8tuser because before it says Mounting local filesystems [OK]
[21:27] <Jack_Sparrow> antonehenry, You can still mount sda1  for use, just not at that / root mount point
[21:27] <stmartin> how to recover /etc/network/interfaces ?
[21:27] <DasEi> yimer: multimedia > alsamixer
[21:28] <DasEi> yimer: s-card displayed correctly ?
[21:28] <Slart> stmartin: it's just a text file.. you can write a  new one.. man interfaces for info
[21:28] <yimer> dasei: well im downloading that thing now
[21:28] <Rencx> can somone help me
[21:28] <JohnPhys> stmartin: Not that I know of, just have to write a new one
[21:28] <Rencx> here are so much users but nonone can help out
[21:28] <ortsvorsteher> !someone | Rencx
[21:28] <antonehenry> erUSUL: but it is not ext3.
[21:28] <Jack_Sparrow> antonehenry, the next issue is that you say sdb1 is  your linux install and you have  /dev/sdb1 /media/WD250 ext3 defaults 0 2
[21:28] <yimer> dasei: just finished downloading now what?
[21:28] <antonehenry> Jack_Sparrow: where could i mount it then?
[21:28] <stmartin> I got the error No manual entry for intefaces
[21:28] <DasEi> yimer: multimedia > alsamixer
[21:28] <DasEi> yimer: s-card displayed correctly ?
[21:29] <dean> stmartin: you spelt interfaces wrong
[21:29] <Jack_Sparrow> antonehenry, is your swap on sda or sdb
[21:29] <Rencx> Does anyone/anybody cold help me with slow boot.
[21:29] <yimer> dasei: what do u mean multimedia > alsamixer?
[21:29] <stmartin> ohh, this manual is huuuge :)
[21:30] <Rencx> Does anyone cold help me with slow boot?
[21:30] <CyberGabber> !help | Rencx
[21:30] <dean> stmartin: I copied the manpage to http://paste.ubuntu.com/106653/
[21:30] <antonehenry> Jack_Sparrow: don't know what a swap is.   But yea, after I added this 1000gb hard drive, the my sda/b/c changed around.
[21:30] <Rencx> boter i wont use those
[21:30] <dean> stmartin: if using the manual viewer you can use the / command to search
[21:30] <slasher> Do you use windows?
[21:30] <JohnPhys> Is anyone experiencing trouble with the latest Hardy kernel (-23), WPA Enterprise, and an intel chipset?
[21:30] <Rencx> i need real person to speak with
[21:31] <stmartin> thanks dean. How to use manual viewer?
[21:31] <quaal> could someone tell me why I am getting permission denied when i try to drag directories from my computer to a shared directory on the server but i can drag files with no problem
[21:31] <guntbert> !patience | Rencx
[21:31] <CaptainMorgan> Rencx, off the top of my head, maybe you need a faster hdd; maybe you have too many services running at startup; maybe you have one service that is supposed to be running but isn't...
[21:31] <CaptainMorgan> etc
[21:31] <Rencx> and who have about 30minutes for my questions because ia have more
[21:31] <yimer> dasei: what do u mean multimedia > alsamixer?
[21:31] <dean> stmartin: manual viewer is just the normal man command.
[21:31] <slasher> http://sg10scanner.com/sg1/1/10187
[21:31] <erUSUL> antonehenry: it is... do not let the line 5 fool you when you plugged the new disk the new disk got the /dev/sda name and the old one got renamed to /dev/sdb so line 6 is referring to /dev/sdb not /dev/sda...
[21:32] <yimer> dasei: what do u mean multimedia > alsamixer?
[21:32] <DasEi> yimer: where are progs stored in desktop-gui ?
[21:32] <myk_robinson> I have set a static IP using network manager in Ubuntu for the wired connection of my desktop. How do I get this setting to stick upon rebooting? seems to switch back to DHCP
[21:32] <yimer> dasei: what?
[21:32] <Jack_Sparrow> antonehenry, OK, things like that are helpful to know up front
[21:32] <tonsofpcs> how do I connect to a printer shared on Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex via IPP?  I cannot seem to find the URI.
[21:32] <n8tuser> Rencx -> what i suggested is only to show you what is transpiring during boot, did you see where it spends lots of time druing boot?
[21:32] <yimer> dasei: what?
[21:32] <yimer> dasei: what?
[21:32] <antonehenry> Jack_Sparrow: i'm sorry
[21:32] <JohnPhys> myk_robinson: Are you using hardy or intrepid?
[21:32] <dayo_> myk_roninson: in /etc/networking/interfaces
[21:32] <erUSUL> antonehenry: you understand now ? precisaly becouse disks can be renamed like that we use UUIDs instead of using /dev/sdxx names
[21:32] <stmartin> ohh. I dont know how will I recover it now
[21:32] <myk_robinson> JohnPhys: Intrepid
[21:33] <CaptainMorgan> !repeat | yimer
[21:33] <n8tuser> tonsofpcs -> i believe the uri is  ipp://
[21:33] <Rencx> CaptainMorgan i have wery good pc i instaled Ubuntu befor 2h and it freezes not run services... It freezes at text: Activating swapfile swap...
[21:33] <antonehenry> erUSUL: okay,  so do you know what i should do next then?
[21:33] <stmartin> !patience
[21:33] <n8tuser> tonsofpcs -> i believe the uri is  ipp://ipaddressofyourubuntu
[21:33] <dean> !patience
[21:33] <antonehenry> erUSUL: it does make sense, i just don't know how to fix it
[21:33] <erUSUL> antonehenry: do as Jack_Sparrow and i said change vfat to ext3
[21:33] <yimer> dasei: what? are u talking about im confused this is my like second day with linux ever
[21:33] <Rencx> n8tuser services loads fast it freezes at swapfile
[21:33] <JohnPhys> myk_robinson: In order to get it to stick (for a static wired connection), I couldn't just edit the profile through NetworkManager, I had to delete it and create a new one.
[21:33] <Jack_Sparrow> I need to set your root and swap and ignore the other parts until we get you to boot up.  there can be lots of other issues to untangle kowing you added that drive
[21:33] <dean> yimer: what are you trying to do
[21:34] <yimer> get the music to come out of my speakers
[21:34] <myk_robinson> JohnPhys: please explain.
[21:34] <dean> what version are you using
[21:34] <DasEi> yimer:dig through dektop menu 'till you find alsamixer
[21:34] <Rencx> n8tuser it stops even HDD or CPU light dosnt light up
[21:34] <n8tuser> Rencx -> can you paste your /etc/fstab  to see if there may be a clue?
[21:34] <yimer> like on turn on it makes itts noise and on youtube it makes noise
[21:34] <dean> try alsamixer -c 0
[21:34] <JohnPhys> myk_robinson: What have you tried in order to get a static IP address?
[21:34] <CaptainMorgan> yimer, sounds like you don't have the proper codecs
[21:34] <CaptainMorgan> !codec | yimer
[21:35] <matteo_> hi all!!! I am connecting my 37inch tv with RGB (VGA) at my laptop, the screen manager detect the displays and if i check "mirror screen" something seems to change but no signal on my tv :S ANy tips? (with windows all worked fine just with fn+f4 :S)
[21:35] <myk_robinson> JohnPhys: installation is just two days old. I have edited the one that says Auto Eth0 and renamed it. i ma creating a fresh one now
[21:35] <CaptainMorgan> yimer,  that last bit of information you provided was very crucial
[21:35] <yimer> kk lol sry
[21:35] <wyoung> matteo_: NVIDIA? ATI?
[21:35] <CaptainMorgan> yimer, next time you have a problem, be as detailed as possible
[21:35] <Jack_Sparrow> antonehenry, http://pastebin.com/d6bd035b0
[21:36] <Rencx> n8tuser here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/106659/
[21:36] <n8tuser> myk_robinson -> did you man interfaces   i believe the man page as a sample how to setup static ip
[21:36] <Jack_Sparrow> antonehenry, hold.. wrong swap
[21:36] <wyoung> matteo_: it is probably a resolution issue, you are setting the TV to a res it doesn't support
[21:36] <antonehenry> Jack_Sparrow: thank you
[21:36] <Dreamglider> when i enable the Desktop cube in Compiz, the screensaver and all movies i watch flicker like crazy. i have ubuntu 8.10, does anyone know a solution ?
[21:36] <antonehenry> Jack_Sparrow: oh, okay
[21:36] <JohnPhys> myk_robinson: I think I had to uncheck the "system setting" or something like that for the one it was using previously.  I'm not in my ibex install right now so I can't be more specific
[21:36] <Jack_Sparrow> antonehenry, http://pastebin.com/d4af08267
[21:36] <JohnPhys> Dreamglider: What video card do you have?
[21:36] <myk_robinson> okay, i will uncheck that and reboot. Thanks
[21:36] <Jack_Sparrow> assuming your a drive moved to b
[21:36] <yimer> well i still have the problem and dasei quit talking to me
[21:36] <Rencx> Does anyone can explain how Ubuntu can run 2 partition automaticly?
[21:37] <tonsofpcs> n8tuser: there's a resource after that apparently... I found a way to pull it, apparently it is ipp://ip/printer/PrinterNameThatYouNeverSeeEvenInTheConfigPageHere , but that doesn't explain how to find it through proper means
[21:37] <Jack_Sparrow> now you will need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst

[21:37] <gamewolf> Hey, I am fairly new to linux in general. I know the basics, but nothing too in-depth. I have some experience setting up server (such as with apache) and I am wanting to use the Ubuntu Server Edition. When I put in the server cd, there are corrupted files and the install fails. But I put the same cd in another computer and it worked just fine. There is a certain computer I want to use because it is not a power hog. Could anyone hel

[21:38] <antonehenry> Jack_Sparrow: thank you, then i need to unmount and remount to test it, correct?
[21:38] <JohnPhys> Dreamglider: I don't have any experience with ATI cards, but if by "flicker" you mean that there's tearing, you might want to install compizconfig-settings-manager and make sure the refresh rate compiz is trying to use is correct.
[21:38] <DasEi> gamewolf: bad drive ?
[21:38] <Jack_Sparrow> gamewolf, Is the computer you want to use an hp or dell

[21:41] <Jack_Sparrow> gamewolf, If you can run wiibui you can run a regular installationof ubuntu
[21:41] <Rencx> n8tuser so you say thet is because of windows?
[21:41] <dean> TimeLord: it is updating the 2.6.27-7 which was also patched and is still installed.
[21:41] <gamewolf> yes I know. Im not it right now, but I need the server install.
[21:41] <Dreamglider> JohnPhys: i have compiz settings manager installed, where do i adjust the refresh rate ? (by flicker i mean flicker like when you "watch a video of a CRT screen'ish" ) other wise when i rotate the desk it's super smooth and good loking

[21:41] <matteo_> hi all!!! I am connecting my 37inch tv with RGB (VGA) at my laptop, the screen manager detect the displays and if i check "mirror screen" something seems to change but no signal on my tv :S ANy tips? (with windows all worked fine just with fn+f4 :S) I have an old amilo pii centrino, so crappy video card, the tv is full hd so upports great resolution!
[21:41] <dean> TireLord: do sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic
[21:42] <quaal> how do i set default permissions for new created directories
[21:42] <TimeLord__> dean .. yes
[21:42] <dean> quaal: umask
[21:42] <yimer> okay so im still not hearing anything at all
[21:42] <antonehenry> Jack_Sparrow: ## default grub root device
[21:42] <antonehenry> ## e.g. groot=(hd0,0)?
[21:42] <quaal> dean, that works for files
[21:42] <oipat> fire
[21:42] <n8tuser> Rencx -> yes its because of windows, ask them how they get their os to boot up any faster
[21:42] <TimeLord__> dean .. i will try it ... thanks!
[21:42] <quaal> dean, and not directories
[21:42] <Cayal> I am having a serious problem at the moment- well, moderately serious. I installed the GNOME globalmenu applet and switched it off while working on an inkscape project, the window went unresponsive and graphically glitched, I have lost my window decorations, and need to save my work. Is there anything I can do to un-glitch things without losing all of my work?
[21:42] <quaal> i can currently copy files but not directories with proper 002 permissions
[21:42] <n8tuser> Rencx -> and why are you so impatient>
[21:42] <n8tuser> ?
[21:42] <Rencx> n8tuser i will make cleen instal of Ubuntu laiter it will work just fine?
[21:42] <Jack_Sparrow> antonehenry, No
[21:42] <Cayal> I can't launch any GTK apps.
[21:42] <gamewolf> So I guess the only fix would be a new drive or another computer?
[21:42] <antonehenry> Jack_Sparrow: sorry again, very new to this.
[21:42] <JohnPhys> Dreamglider: In the CCSM, click "General", and it's under the "Display Settings" tab
[21:43] <n8tuser> Rencx -> it should be fine on perm install
[21:43] <Jack_Sparrow> !install > gamewolf
[21:43] <Jack_Sparrow> antonehenry, go down to the line starting with kernel that you normally use to boot and see what that section shows for drive
[21:43] <Rencx> n8tuser because i need it tomorow and i siting here 2 day
[21:43] <gamewolf> alright
[21:43] <JPSman> thanks dean :OD

[21:44] <n8tuser> Lokiase -> i did asked you to post your /var/log/messages eh? not the whole big thing, just from where you started to shutdown
[21:45] <JohnPhys> Dreamglider: 60Hz should work, but it might not be optimal (esp. if you ati card is running at a different rate).  My nvidia card and lcd are running at 75Hz.
[21:45] <antonehenry> Jack_Sparrow: okay i'm dumb: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic root=UUID=960552be-bca4-4746-9fd8-273ac907768b ro quiet splash

[21:46] <Rencx> n8tuser it is hard to find good and fast helpers if we cold do it in private it will take much less time
[21:46] <duane> or ezonics
[21:46] <Jack_Sparrow> antonehenry, search that file for hd0,0
[21:46] <JohnPhys> Dreamglider: no idea for ATI cards, if there's a driver configuration panel available that's where I would start
[21:46] <dean> quaal: or cd to the directory and then do find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
[21:46] <ghone> Or more generally, has anyone been able to set up a LinkSys WRT54G2 witout MS-Windows or Mac?
[21:46] <n8tuser> Rencx -> are you willing to pay? if you are such in a hurry -- then please be ready to fork out good money, get your credit card ready
[21:46] <quaal> dean, i want to make settings so ican actually use the directories i create as soon as I create them. i dont want to have to change permissions every time.

[21:52] <dean> quaal: it seems to ignore suid, sgid and sticky
[21:52] <bamboo> i followed those steps and install ubuntu, it's just the wireless doesnt work well on my PC once i wake it up from "sleep mode"
[21:52] <Jack_Sparrow> !releases
[21:52] <Rencx> good atitude from your side also you now answers but you dont even want help
[21:52] <Rencx> ok done.

[21:52] <Lokiase> n8tuser: I don't want to do it, I want ubuntu to do it for me, that the whole problem
[21:53] <quaal> dean, i'll show you what i mean in terminal. one moment
[21:53] <n8tuser> Lokiase -> well try to use 8.04 instead -- more stable
[21:53] <ScottG> n8tuser: since when did I say paint? I didnt. want to help answer my question? Im not sure where its config file is and i looked in preferences and I cant find an option to do that.
[21:53] <quaal> dean, dongery@x61:/media/raid$ cd ihateyoulinux/
[21:53] <quaal> dongery@x61:/media/raid/ihateyoulinux$ touch dielinux
[21:53] <quaal> touch: cannot touch `dielinux': Permission denied
[21:53] <Lokiase> n8tuser: no option, was not stable here
[21:54] <quaal> dean,  ah, crap. i left out the 'mkdir ihateyoulinux'
[21:54] <dean> quaal; try editing smb.conf
[21:54] <n8tuser> ScottG -> can you repaste your question? it went flying by, and i have a small buffer..
[21:54] <quaal> dean, i'm doing this from the samba client on the samba mount
[21:54] <quaal> ok
[21:54] <Jack_Sparrow> I muted your account until you msg me back

[21:55] <mib_hjko50> Hi all, is there a problem using webcams with  Ubuntu 8.10 desktop?
[21:55] <mib_hjko50> Apologies if the question has been asked before.
[21:55] <n8tuser> ScottG -> am not sure its nautilus doing the drawing of the background,
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> mib_hjko50: they can be troublesome
[21:55] <mib_hjko50> And if somebody could kindly point me to a resolution... Thnaks.
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> !webcam | mib_hjko50
[21:55] <mib_hjko50> Thanks a lot. Appreciate the help!
[21:56] <Pierre_N> The new ubuntu is giving me the shits.
[21:56] <n8tuser> ScottG -> its usually your metacity or gnome
[21:56] <Lokiase> n8tuser: any suggestion please, really want to solve it
[21:56] <redvamp128> When I ran 8.10 only one program could see my camera- Cheese... everthing else it seemed to want to go to some other channel-- so I went back down to 8.04 and noweverthing else works
[21:56] <n8tuser> Lokiase -> well you can enable more kernel logging,  look into syslog-ng  configs of your system
[21:56] <ScottG> n8tuser: yea it could be gnome. Where in general do i find config files anyways?
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> hey guys, If I connect my Nvidia gfx card in my intrepid system via svideo to scart cable will the tv be detected or is their some additional config I need??
[21:57] <Lokiase> n8tuser: but isnt their a standard solution?
[21:57] <Pierre_N> nm-applet can't see my wireless AP, but my gf's mac can, and so can my iphone.
[21:57] <nabilsatcom> hola
[21:57] <powtrix> what's a good tool to configure a cyber cafe user profile?
[21:57] <dserodio> I think my samba installation is broken
[21:57] <etech> are there debs for the kernel 2.8.28?
[21:57] <n8tuser> ScottG -> actually that is still a mystery to me,  look in your ~/.gconf
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> etech: i believe thats jaunty
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> !jaunty | etech
[21:57] <dserodio> I want to upgrade samba but it depends on a unavailable version of samba-common
[21:57] <n8tuser> Lokiase -> no such thing if the hardware is not cooperating and the drivers for the devices are not cooperating
[21:58] <jally> hello
[21:58] <remco_> I guess no one cares...a bit frustrated as usual with this place... been using ubuntu for the past 5 years and came here once in a while for help, but not once did anyone help.....  I guess it'll be the usual figure it yourself solution ..  this irc channel is a nice idea, but rarely useful .. :(
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> dserodio: then find a repo with it in on, or manually install the deb yourself
[21:58] <jally> hello
[21:58] <n8tuser> Lokiase -> i have one more, but it is drastic
[21:58] <Pierre_N> remco_, I agree :(
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> remco_: wassup?
[21:58] <ScottG> n8tuser: lol yea  thats the problem, what is ~?
[21:58] <jally> what are u talking about
[21:58] <CyberGabber> Pierre_N: Did you right-click on nm-aplet, and mark 'enable wireless' ?
[21:58] <Lokiase> n8tuser: but in windows2K he did everyting ok... cant imagine ubuntu cannot do it?
[21:58] <JohnPhys> mib_hjko50: with some cams/programs, there are issues (skype particularly )  Here's the link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=966436

[21:59] <remco_> wow first answer ever ... lol stuck with an upgrade dfrom 6.06 to 8.04: http://paste.ubuntu.com/106663/
[21:59] <ScottG> n8tuser: actually i think i found it
[21:59] <Pierre_N> CyberGabber, yep, I can see a zillion access points, just not my own for some reason. Trying to connect to it via Connect to Hidden Network isn't working either
[21:59] <Pierre_N> it's weird that it's just not showing up on the list
[21:59] <ScottG> n8tuser: yea thanks :)
[21:59] <simplexio> remco_: easiest way to fix is reinstall if you have you home in own partition
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> remco_: sudo apt-get -f install
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> !fixapt | remco_
[21:59] <n8tuser> Lokiase -> only if these device vendors allows access to their drivers, lots of issues can be resolved, but they are keeping it close to their chest
[21:59] <quaal> dean, i just added create mask and directory mask = 775 to my smb.conf, restarted samba, same problem.
[21:59] <retour> Claws Mail ALWAYS starts in OFF-LINE mode!? Why and how to change it to be ONLINE by default?
[22:00] <Lokiase> n8tuser: please guide me :)
[22:00] <AzulFin> remco_: backup + reinstall :)
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> quaal: can you give us the output of ls -al /etc/smb/samba.conf
[22:00] <n8tuser> Lokiase ->  i already give you an advise of using on/off button,  as you learn along you may find out the solution, google is your friend
[22:01] <Lokiase> n8tuser: google is the problem :) don't help me :(
[22:01] <matteo_> hi all!!! I am connecting my 37inch tv with RGB (VGA) at my laptop, the screen manager detect the displays and if i check "mirror screen" something seems to change but no signal on my tv :S ANy tips? (with windows all worked fine just with fn+f4 :S)
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> Lokiase: try a different search engine
[22:01] <JohnPhys> Lokiase: what is your issue again?
[22:01] <gamewolf> !install
[22:02] <Lokiase> JohnPhys: I want ubuntu to shut down, not to freeze on the splash
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> matteo_: have you installed video drivers?
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> Lokiase: does: sudo shutdown -h now work?
[22:03] <JohnPhys> Lokiase: Does it freeze when shutting down, or just when trying standby or hibernate?
[22:03] <remco_> Thanks Azul and simplex...but if I could avoid reinstalling it would be nice...
[22:03] <Lokiase> ActionParsnip: it gives: time expected
[22:03] <matteo_> ActionParsnip: dunno really, when i installed ubuntu all worked fine automatically so i didn't install anithing... SHould i? I ave an amilo with centriono duo set
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> Lokiase: the command needs the word 'now' on the end
[22:03] <Lokiase> JohnPhys: only when shutting down, restart goes fine, but shutting down the splash stays
[22:03] <JohnPhys> Lokiase: "now" was part of the command ActionParsnip sent you, "sudo shutdown -h now"
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> Lokiase: sudo shutdown -h now
[22:04] <Jack_Sparrow> ActionParsnip, Please help him try these three options all at the same time..  noapic acpi=off apm=off
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> matteo_: well yes, or the card isnt being used properly so you will not get the extra output
[22:05] <pilaseka> hi every1
[22:05] <Lokiase> ActionParsnip: that command does exactly the same as the normal shut down :)
[22:05] <pilaseka> how do i ran an application on d terminal ?
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> Jack_Sparrow: just wanna know if the command line works nice
[22:05] <redvamp128> remco_:  I came in on the last part-- what issue are you having?
[22:05] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> Lokiase: ok, its just a lil test
[22:05] <matteo_> ActionParsnip: i have an amilo PI 1505 do u know where can i find video drivers for ubuntu?
[22:05] <jtier> hey guys, I have a ubuntu machine , i don't want it to boot into gnome, I just want basic shell, gnome is adding more load on the machine, what do i need to do ?
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> matteo_: run: lspci | grep -i vga
[22:06] <pilaseka> jtier: go to ur normal Ubuntu, then to your bin, Grub, den there should be like options
[22:06] <dayo_> pilaseka: which application?
[22:06] <redvamp128> jtier:  should be able to on the login screen - options -- then select window manager shell
[22:06] <remco_> prob dist-upgrade from 6.06 to 8.04:http://paste.ubuntu.com/106663/  this unlocked it, but have another problem now sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a
[22:06] <theczar> hey i'm having some trouble with my sound on ubuntu
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> Lokiase: ok then you may have to add some options to your kernel so that some of the power management can be disabled so the shutdown is successful
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | Lokiase
[22:07] <pilaseka> dayo_: education_mathematics
[22:07] <remco_> trying a "upgrade -f" now ..
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> !sound | theczar
[22:07] <redvamp128> what about using -- LXDE for the window manager?
[22:07] <matteo_> ActionParsnip: here is the output 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[22:07] <dayo_> pilaseka: is that the name of the app
[22:07] <dayo_> ?
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> matteo_: ok, now you have a starting block to websearch with
[22:07] <pilaseka> dayo_: yes, i have just installed with apt-get install
[22:07] <burkmat0> I appear to be unable to use the GUI to reconfigure my network interfaces as the "Unlock" button is, ironically enough, locked. -_-"
[22:08] <redvamp128> jtier:  what about installing -- LXDE from apt-- it is a lightwieght window manager
[22:08] <{g}> Hey People! Say you have a file "longandcomplicatedfilename" in the current directory and want to rename it to "000_longandcomplicatedfilename" without typing the name. Whats a nice way to do that?
[22:08] <dayo_> pilaseka: well try typing that name into your terminal
[22:08] <jtier> redvamp128: thanks
[22:08] <Lokiase> ActionParsnip: a lott of info on that site, where do I have to find?
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> Jack_Sparrow: do you know if I have to do any extra config to attatch my nvidia kubuntu box via svideo to scart to my tv?
[22:08] <dayo_> burkmat0: maybe your user is not in the sudo group
[22:08] <pilaseka> dayo_ i did and nothing
[22:08] <redvamp128> jtier:  it even takes up less resources than Xubuntu
[22:08] <burkmat0> dayo_, I definitely am.
[22:09] <dayo_> pilaseka: then it's probably a different name. is there anyway for u to start it via the menu toolbar?
[22:09] <jtier> so apt-get install lxde ?
[22:09] <retour> Claws Mail ALWAYS starts in OFF-LINE mode!? Why and how to change it to be ONLINE by default?
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> Lokiase: you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to add the options, you may have to use acpi=off to kill off acpi which could make your shutdown succeed
[22:09] <techsupport> vf
[22:10] <Jack_Sparrow> ActionParsnip, Not sure..
[22:10] <remco_> I'll continue to debug...but thanks guys for answering.....I'll get back if I'm stuck again ..
[22:10] <matteo_> ActionParsnip: Should i install the fujitsuu drivers or i have to find third parts one?
[22:10] <MindVirus> Anything like Mac OS X's dock?
[22:10] <Lokiase> ActionParsnip: ok, will look for it
[22:10] <dayo_> burkmat0: try starting from terminal as root
[22:10] <slew> hello. can anyone suggest an html editor that looks and feels like dreamweaver?
[22:10] <MindVirus> I tried avant-window-navigator, and it was alright, but buggy and featureless.
[22:10] <JohnPhys> MindVirus: I think AWN is like the osx dock
[22:10] <Lokiase> ActionParsnip: gone now, searching ;)
[22:10] <MindVirus> AWN?
[22:10] <IndyGunFreak> !awn
[22:11] <Brack10> if a shell script requires you to run it from the directory it resides in, do you HAVE to cd to the directory first, or is there a way to run it from it's directory in one command?
[22:11] <dayo_> slew: bluefish?
[22:11] <burkmat0> dayo_, Did that as well, but it just won't work... Using the exact path specified in System -> Admin... It's strange.
[22:11] <MindVirus> Oh, right.
[22:11] <JohnPhys> MindVirus: AWN = avant-window-manager, which you've apparently already tried:)
[22:11] <MindVirus> That's what I tried.
[22:11] <MindVirus> It's pretty buggy.
[22:11] <julmumma> true
[22:11] <MindVirus> And pretty featureless.
[22:11] <julmumma> true
[22:11] <oipat> www.freakforum.nu <- Is this site laggning when you scroll with firefox running on linux?
[22:11] <Jack_Sparrow> !enter
[22:11] <Facebook2> phix: Still there?
[22:11] <MindVirus> Any other suggestions, apart from AWN?
[22:11] <redvamp128> JohnPhys:  try this Ubuntu Unleashed: Howto: Install a brand new Dock with expandable menu's for Ubuntu Hardy Heron & Compiz! <http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/05/howto-install-brand-new-dock-with.html>
[22:12] <slew> dayo_ thanks, i'll take a look
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> Jack_Sparrow: i pulled my res down to 640x480 which I'd imagine is the max but is there anything to make it use the svideo port?
[22:12] <redvamp128> JohnPhys: it is cairo dock
[22:12] <dayo_> slew: u're welcome
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> MindVirus: kooldock, kibadock
[22:12] <MindVirus> Those are KDE, no?
[22:12] <cilkay> Hello. I've added "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/project-neon/ubuntu hardy main" to /etc/apt/sources.list, ran apt-get update and then attempted to apt-get install kde-nightly-kdebase but no such package was found. If I examine the repo using a browser, I can see the kde packages. Why isn't apt-get finding them?
[22:12] <JohnPhys> redvamp128: I think you want to send that to MindVirus, he was asking about the docks.  I'm quite happy with my GNOME menus :)
[22:12] <dayo_> slew: also try nvu
[22:12] <Jack_Sparrow> ActionParsnip, not sure and kinda busy.. ready for lunch
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> Jack_Sparrow: np man
[22:12] <K1NG4RTHUR> how do you install wine on linux?
[22:13] <MindVirus> K1NG4RTHUR, you have to add the repos.
[22:13] <Gerinych> are there any standalone flash players for linux?
[22:13] <remco_> !upgrade
[22:13] <K1NG4RTHUR> well i dont know anything about linux
[22:13] <refefer> Gerinych, I believe VLC can view flash videos
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | remco_
[22:13] <K1NG4RTHUR> but im tired of microsoft
[22:13] <Gerinych> referer: what about games?
[22:13] <redvamp128> MindVirus:  try this one Ubuntu Unleashed: Howto: Install a brand new Dock with expandable menu's for Ubuntu Hardy Heron & Compiz! <http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/05/howto-install-brand-new-dock-with.html>
[22:14] <refefer> Gerinych, no, it wouldn't do games
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> Gerinych: refefer: ANY player can lpay them with correct codecs
[22:14] <Facebook2> I'm getting an error when trying to install a C library using SSH: "cannot run C compiled programs.""
[22:14] <Facebook2> any suggestions?
[22:14] <disappearedng> Hey How do I mount FFS under Ubuntu?
[22:14] <JohnPhys> K1NG4RTHUR: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb for using the wine repositories.  That, or you can just use the wine provided with ubuntu, though it will be a bit older.
[22:14] <dayo_> Facebook2: do u have build-essential installed?
[22:14] <JohnPhys> disappearedng: FFS?
[22:14] <Facebook2> not sure
[22:14] <Facebook2> how do i check dayo?

[22:16] <dayo_> Facebook2: the second line of the output is what u need to check, where it says 'State'

[22:16] <yimer> hey i was just getting help from someone in herer but on a different channel are u in here?
[22:16] <shadow98> hey guys i plugged in my usb drive and now i can't access it I can see it listed in places...i tried mount /dev/sdc and didnt work...before i disconnected it last time i right clicked and did an umount...
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> shadow98: you cant mount /dev/sdc thats a drive, you mount partitions which would be named /dev/sdc1
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> shadow98: and the like
[22:17] <shadow98> ActionParsnip, i tried that also
[22:17] <Facebook2> dayo_: I have it installed - "checking whether build environment is sane... yes"
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> shadow98: does it show up in: sudo fdisk -l
[22:17] <joaospinto> hello. i cant install miro, when i open it in the command line there are many errors in some lines in python-related files and googling didnt help
[22:17] <Rencx>  I wold like to know how i can set my 2. Partition to mount automatic.?
[22:17] <Facebook2> What else could it be?
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> Rencx: you'll need to add entries to fstab
[22:18] <dayo_> Facebook2: what was the exact error?
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> !fstab | Rencx
[22:18] <disappearedng> hey how do I list all the partitions mounted on my current system?
[22:18] <BTAKasper> I got a question maybe someone can help me with, im attempting to run the ubuntu live cd downloaded from the site but when it loads up asks for username and password
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> disappearedng: mount
[22:18] <yimer> anyway i got it all fixed its just  iffy i think
[22:18] <JohnPhys> disappearedng: "mount"
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> BTAKasper: try ubuntu for both username andpassword
[22:18] <BTAKasper> i did
[22:18] <shadow98> ActionParsnip, says it doesn't containt a valid partition table...
[22:18] <BTAKasper> didnt work
[22:18] <disappearedng> ok let me be more clearer: I want somehting like /dev/sda4
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> shadow98: theres yuor issue
[22:19] <shadow98> ActionParsnip, I just copied all mp3's to not more than 2 hrs ago it was fat32
[22:19] <yospirito> how can you modify the compiz settings file without the compiz program?
[22:19] <axisys> i plugged a usb logitech camera and it is detected http://pastebin.com/f440542c6 .. now what app can I use to test the visual? it also has built in audio..
[22:19] <disappearedng> I want to show all the harddisk drives mounted
[22:19] <shadow98> ActionParsnip, do you think umounting the drive could have caused the problem..
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> disappearedng: if you run the command mount on its own, it will show you what is mounted, where as well as its mount options
[22:19] <JohnPhys> disappearedng: all of the /dev/whatevers should be listed with the "mount" command
[22:19] <Facebook2> dayo_: checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> shadow98: should be the best thing you could have done
[22:20] <pete_> hey guys
[22:20] <pete_> how do i create a second tun device?
[22:20] <JohnPhys> disappearedng: If you want to clean up the output, run "mount | grep /dev"
[22:20] <tamale> !samba tamale
[22:20] <disappearedng> Oh I know my problem: my harddisk is not mounted YET
[22:20] <pete_> i want tun1
[22:20] <shadow98> ActionParsnip, that is what i thought so i don't know what happened..im gonig to try my windows laptop from work and see what it shows..
[22:20] <redvamp128> yospirito:  I use the Advanced desktop Effects Settings
[22:20] <tamale> !smb tamale
[22:20] <disappearedng> JohnPhys: my FFS filesystems arenot mounted yet, how do I show all the harddisk partitions ?
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> shadow98: might help
[22:20] <pete_> !tun
[22:20] <Rencx> I wold like to know how i can set my 2. Partition to mount automatic.? I have Wubi install.
[22:20] <yospirito> redvamp128: that program is not installed on the computer
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> disappearedng: sudo fdisk -l     will show you all available partitions
[22:21] <disappearedng> thx
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> Rencx: i already told you, /etc/fstab
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> !fstab > Rencx
[22:21] <cilkay> JohnPhys, disappearedng the two versions of Ubuntu I've used both mount using UUIDs, not device names.
[22:21] <Fractured> hey guys... how would i get a perl script to run at startup? ive tried playing with sessions with no luck =/
[22:21] <tamale> Hi everyone!  Where's the 'shared folders' menu item in 8.10 ?  I can't find it anywhere
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> !startup | Fractured
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> tamale: have you installed samba?
[22:21] <Fractured> !boot
[22:22] <tamale> ActionParsnip: Yup
[22:22] <Fractured> thanks
[22:22] <redvamp128> yospirito:  try this http://forlong.blogage.de/en/entries/2008/4/26/How-to-set-up-Compiz-Fusion-074   (check out the compiz config settings manager part)
[22:22] <JohnPhys> cilkay: while the fstab will use the UUID's, the "mount" command lists them by device name
[22:22] <cilkay> right
[22:22] <cilkay> I was referring to /etc/fstab
[22:22] <BTAKasper> ActionParsnip: Any ideas other than ubuntu for u/n and p/w, cause that didnt work
[22:22] <methadone> Anyone using nuoveXT.2.2 iconset and knows what file is incharge of the ubuntu icon next at the top gnome panel (left of 'Applications')
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> tamale: ive always editted /etc/samba/smb.conf personally so I can't help any further, maybe someone else can help. If no one helps I can give you my smb.conf for you to study, its not a had file to edit
[22:23] <JohnPhys> BTAKasper: for what setup?  LiveCD?
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> BTAKasper: try ubuntu with no password
[22:23] <BTAKasper> live cd
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> BTAKasper: I know the username is ubuntu
[22:23] <JohnPhys> BTAKasper: username should be ubuntu, don't think there is a password
[22:23] <razaccour> where can i get yahoo messenger for Ubuntu?
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> BTAKasper: remember its all case sensitive so dont bother the shift key none
[22:23] <BTAKasper> oh ok so just skip the pass then
[22:23] <BTAKasper> thanks
[22:24] <dayo_> Facebook2: what are u trying to compile?
[22:24] <portz> razaccour: Either use wine to emulate, or use the default Pidgin.
[22:24] <cilkay> tamale: SWAT (Samba Web Administration Toolkit) is quite useful.
[22:24] <redvamp128> razaccour:  from what I understand-- the yahoo messenger is rudimentary and is very limited-- use things like pidgin
[22:24] <JohnPhys> razaccour: I don't think yahoo makes a messenger client for linux, but you can use pidgin or kopete (among others) to log on to the yahoo network.
[22:24] <tamale> cilkay: Thanks, but did they really get rid of "shared folders" in 8.10 ?! I find this very hard to believe
[22:24] <tamale> surely it's somewhere
[22:24] <cilkay> No idea. I don't use 8.10
[22:25] <yospirito> redvamp128 the system administrator uninstalled the ccsm program
[22:25] <tamale> lol
[22:25] <cilkay> ... and not likely to ever use it.
[22:25] <Rencx> ActionParsnip there is no example for Wubi install
[22:25] <razaccour> wine doesn't work because it requires direct x. i have pidgin, but i want both anyway
[22:25] <jonaskoelker> hello all.  Question -- my compose key sequences in ~/.XCompose don't work.  Why not?
[22:25] <JohnPhys> tamale: They might have, gnome had a lot of changes to the "file system" it uses for that sort of stuff, so it might be an issue with gnome rather than ubuntu
[22:25] <disappearedng> how many partition does Ubuntu generally have ?
[22:26] <redvamp128> yospirito: then there is nothing much you can do except configure it manually-- it is the tool I use to configure my  compiz
[22:26] <JohnPhys> razaccour: what requires directx?
[22:26] <razaccour> yahoo messenger does
[22:26] <kameron> source-o-matic is down. can anyone from canada offer me a decent sources.list file? don't feel like tracking down mirrors to write my own..
[22:26] <tamale> JohnPhys: Maybe you can help with my main question - how do I edit my main shared directory so it has write access over samba?  I can't find it anywhere in smb.conf, so it must be somewhere else
[22:26] <redvamp128> razaccour:  there is a version but it is quite a few years old
[22:26] <yospirito> thank redvamp128
[22:26] <razaccour> oh ok
[22:26] <redvamp128> yospirito:  did you look in synaptic
[22:26] <yospirito> yea
[22:26] <slashzul> is there a way to upgrade a 7.04 to 8.04 via cdrom - just downloaded latest lts
[22:26] <yospirito> bu i can not install it
[22:27] <razaccour> is there any way to use xat chats without having to use flash? can i use swf for it instead?
[22:27] <lonel> hi,any one is it possible to use open vpn without certificatre authentication in the client side?
[22:27] <fishtron> hi folks - usb wireless mouse on acer aspire one doesn't work proper - clicks and wheel scrolls fine, but pointer does not move
[22:27] <redvamp128> yospirito:  try sudo apt-get compizconfig-settings-manager
[22:27] <JohnPhys> razaccour: just download directx and install it with wine, I think that will work.  I've run plenty of directx apps in wine (diablo II, warcraft III, grim fandango, etc.)
[22:27] <redvamp128> razaccour:  are you sure you want it-- like I said it is about 4 years old
[22:27] <razaccour> ok thanks
[22:27] <cilkay> tamale: What is this "main shared directory" you're talking about? You're trying to shared some directory with a Windows machine?
[22:27] <slashzul> kemal:  from the U ?
[22:27] <Kemal> hi buddies
[22:27] <cilkay> tamale: If so, just use SWAT to set it up. Couldn't be simpler really.
[22:27] <yospirito>  redvamp128: does that require admin the password
[22:27] <JohnPhys> tamale: You mean you want to be able to write to a shared directory from another computer over smb?
[22:28] <tamale> exactly

[22:28] <slashzul> kemal:  from the UMN ?
[22:28] <JohnPhys> tamale: the user might not be a samba user or have permissions for samba.  Is the other machine linux or windows?

[22:29] <redvamp128> razaccour:  note it does not have camera or most emoticons
[22:29] <razaccour> thanks

[22:29] <Kemal> is there anybody could help me about freenx
[22:29] <redvamp128> razaccour:  pidgin or even kopete does more than this does

[22:29] <cilkay> tamale: you might have to start swat though.
[22:30] <JohnPhys> doug___: There's the "nv" free driver, but that's just 2d.  Other than that there's not a stable driver for nvidia cards that's not the nvidia one.  Ther is the nouveaux project, but that's still pre-alpha
[22:30] <white-sheep> slashzul: Didn't the autorun prompt show up when you pop the disc in?
[22:30] <Kemal> thank you slashzul
[22:30] <DasEi> disappearedng: go ahead
[22:30] <nicotognetti> Hello. I'm a newbie. I wish to open a .sh (text) file with gedit but gedit doesn't recognize it's a text file...
[22:30] <razaccour> pidgin is good, don't like kopete
[22:30] <doug___> well i dont play games so i dont need 3d do i

[22:30] <razaccour> i use skype for my voice mic
[22:30] <JohnPhys> tamale: I haven't had any experience setting that up (lately at least), so I don't really know all of the pitfalls.
[22:30] <redvamp128> razaccour:  this yahoo version does not even support skype
[22:30] <doug___> nicotognetti you can try gvim if yo want a gui or vim as a editor
[22:31] <JohnPhys> doug___: I guess not, though it might be nice to have some 3d effects and such.  But yeah, if you just want 2d, go with the nv driver.
[22:31] <razaccour> i know
[22:31] <slashzul> white-sheep: Im trying to recover
[22:31] <mickster04> the network manager session (top panel bar) doesn't show up anymore, how to fix? thanks for your time
[22:31] <razaccour> but i have the current skype
[22:31] <tamale> JohnPhys: When I had access to the "shared folders" tool, I was able to set a workgroup and write permissions, without that utility I don't know where to go.. smb.conf doesn't seem to have the options I need
[22:31] <redvamp128> razaccour:  ever thought of ephyphiny
[22:31] <razaccour> for ubuntu
[22:31] <slashzul> white-sheep: tried 7.04 to 7.10 and it crashed , couldnt boot
[22:31] <doug___> there are no 3d effects of ubuntu unless your using compwiz right
[22:31] <doug___> which i am not
[22:31] <ozzloy> is there a package that installs libjit?
[22:31] <JohnPhys> tamale: is the shared folder on the linux machine or the windows machine?
[22:31] <ozzloy> from dotGNU
[22:31] <ozzloy> ?
[22:31] <slashzul> white-sheep: fixed the boot,now Im backing up home and other things
[22:31] <tamale> it's on the linux machine
[22:32] <tamale> shared with samba
[22:32] <tamale> the read access is working
[22:32] <tamale> but the write is not
[22:32] <redvamp128> razaccour:  ever thought of ephiphiny
[22:32] <[p]Zombie>  Is there a way to get a preview of all four desktops like with spaces in OSX?
[22:32] <FloodBot1> tamale: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> doug___: you will also ned to install video drivers
[22:32] <razaccour> epiphany web browser? i have that

[22:32] <doug___> thank you very much
[22:32] <razaccour> i have skype already
[22:32] <redvamp128> no this
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> tamale: can you pastebin your /etc/samba/smb.conf
[22:32] <tamale> ActionParsnip: Sure
[22:32] <nicotognetti> doug: thanks. any guess how I can tell gedit it's dealing with a text file?
[22:33] <fishtron> please query me if you can help with my wireless mouse issue :(
[22:33] <doug___> hey its usually about a month before al teh bugs of a new release settle downright
[22:33] <Kemal> buddies i have just installed an ubuntu server and i am new at linux systems
[22:33] <redvamp128> razaccour:  I am sorry empathy
[22:33] <slashzul> kemal:  http://www.umn.edu/lookup?SET_INSTITUTION=UMNTC&type=name&campus=t&role=any&CN=kemal
[22:33] <doug___> what does it say when you run it
[22:33] <JohnPhys> tamale:  all shared folder entries should be towards teh bottom of /etc/samba/smb.conf, you might need to add "writable = yes" to soem of them
[22:33] <doug___> what error does it print
[22:33] <razaccour> oh its ok
[22:33] <Relam> when i install from livecd, why im asked for repositories?
[22:33] <Kemal> i have installed freenx but have some mistakes about configuration
[22:33] <tamale> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/m491cab01
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> nicotognetti: it doesnt care, it will attempt to open anything you throw at it
[22:33] <cilkay> tamale: In Hardy, SWAT is started from xinetd so it's done on-demand. I just hit http://localhost:901/ and got a user ID and password prompt.
[22:33] <Relam> archive mirrot servers
[22:33] <razaccour> never tried it
[22:33] <redvamp128> razaccour:  GNOME 2.24 Release Notes <http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.24/>
[22:34] <tamale> JohnPhys: That's the funny part, the share that I added isn't even at the bottom of smb.conf
[22:34] <Tekumel> I'm a complete noob to Ubuntu (and Linux as a whole), and trying to install 8.10 on a spare computer I have. The Live CD boots fine, but doesn't recognize the sole SATA hard drive I have in the machine. I've tried pci=nomsi and all_generic_ide boot options, and still nothing. Can somebody give me a hand troubleshooting this?
[22:34] <redvamp128> razaccour:  look at the 2.1 section
[22:34] <tamale> JohnPhys: I added it by right-clicking on the folder and going to 'sharing'
[22:34] <cilkay> tamale: You should also know that POSIX users != SMB users.
[22:34] <CyberGabber> Kemal: check server irc.freenode.net , channel #nx
[22:34] <fishtron> Relam: choose the main server
[22:34] <tamale> cilkay: I know, but I added the samba user
[22:34] <nicotognetti> doug: "gedit has not been able to detect the character coding". it's trying UTF-8 (which imho should be the one correct...)
[22:34] <JohnPhys> tamale: Then manually add it, I guess?
[22:35] <cdenny> i am going to switch to ubuntu soon, but am worried about my media.  When I load ubuntu I need to get all the songs off my ipod and several cds all organized and stuff, like in one area.  What apps can do this?  Also, would I lose album art?
[22:35] <doug___> weird
[22:35] <fishtron> Relam: that's for setting up your connection to the repositories for later on
[22:35] <doug___> have you tried opeing in vim or vi
[22:35] <tamale> JohnPhys: I would think since it's already working (with read only access) shouldn't have to do that
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> tamale: have you run: sudo smbpasswd <your username> and typed your password 3 times?
[22:35] <shadow98> ActionParsnip, i don't know what happened but i had to creat new partition and format
[22:35] <grkblood13> hey, i jsut installed lxdream, a dreamcast emulator, does any1 know where i can get games for this?
[22:35] <tamale> ActionParsnip: Yup
[22:36] <cilkay> tamale: Just to be sure we're talking about the same thing, if you have a linux account "tamale", that doesn't mean that you can login from Windows via SMB as "tamale". You have to "smbadduser tamale" and "smbpasswd tamala" first.
[22:36] <redvamp128> razaccour:  from reading it supports skype
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> shadow98: looks like something has gone awry then, you can try get the data back with foremost
[22:36] <doug___> just guessing but not the best place to ask grkblood
[22:36] <throwt> is there a way to start a ubuntu install to a usb disk while running ubuntu (ie: avoiding having to boot the cd)
[22:36] <nicotognetti> doug: open office word processor opens it correctly, so I saw it's really a text file...
[22:36] <tamale> cilkay: Correct, and I have both users added
[22:36] <tamale> cilkay: Posix and windows
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> !usb | throwt
[22:36] <cdenny> grkblood13 thepiratebay.com
[22:36] <doug___> you mena openoffice right
[22:36] <razaccour> i know, but i use the official skype for ubuntu for the voice and cam
[22:36] <cdenny> i am going to switch to ubuntu soon, but am worried about my media.  When I load ubuntu I need to get all the songs off my ipod and several cds all organized and stuff, like in one area.  What apps can do this?  Also, would I lose album art?
[22:36] <kinection> how do i change what player is opened by default when i click on an mp3 file?
[22:36] <shadow98> ActionParsnip, good thing is it was just a copy of my mp3's....i was using it to play them in my car..
[22:36] <cilkay> tamale: good. A way around this is to use LDAP, btw. Bit of work to set up but it works great.
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> shadow98: even easier ;)
[22:37] <nicotognetti> doug: yes, open office is ok...
[22:37] <JohnPhys> tamale: I'm afraid I don't know why the shared linux dir isn't showing up in smb.conf, so I'm fresh out of ideas.
[22:37] <tamale> cilkay: Heh, true.. honestly that 'shared folders' utility was perfect.. and tiny.  I just don't understand why it's missing.  I see it when I go to 'edit menus' even, but it's not in the menus
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> tamale: did you run the command i said?
[22:37] <tamale> ActionParsnip: I already have, yes
[22:37] <doug___> justmakig sure you wneret running ms offic i was going to kjumb out the window
[22:37] <Lokiase> ActionParsnip: I looked up the boot options, and at startup I noticed a message of "old cpu" "acpi" "blahblahblah", can you help me?
[22:37] <throwt> ActionParsnip: im not installing from usb.  i want to know if i can make an install from a live system - ie already installed
[22:37] <shadow98> ActionParsnip, mount /dev/sdc1
[22:37] <shadow98> mount: can't find /dev/sdc1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[22:37] <throwt> what's the ubuntu installer called anyway?
[22:38] <jpds> throwt: ubiquity.
[22:38] <grkblood13> cdenny, do u have lxdream>
[22:38] <nicotognetti> doug: it's a .sh file...
[22:38] <cilkay> tamale: I don't know what you're talking about since I don't have a "shared folders" utility in Kubuntu.
[22:38] <doug___> im really not sure...not quite a linux expert,,,but i was also under the assumption that gedit woudl take anything
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> throwt: im not sure, i looked into it a while back but didnt get anywhere
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> throwt: like make a live cd of your current system
[22:38] <joshua24> Hey, gotta q for ya. I installed Intrepid Ibex to my 160GB drive and I used my 40 as /home. Now I wanna install Winblows 7 beta to the 40. can I change the 40 from /home to blank without losing data?
[22:38] <shadow98> ActionParsnip, i had to pull it out and put it back in...doesn't sound good...hehehe
[22:38] <tamale> cilkay: It's been in every version of Ubuntu I've used since 5.10 but nowhere to be found in 8.10
[22:38] <doug___> so if office opens it ...why do you need gedit
[22:38] <fishtron> nicotognetti: drag and drop doesn't work?
[22:39] <cdenny> grkblood13 no
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> shadow98: as there is no partition you will need to run gparted to recreate it and format it
[22:39] <pyrophelia> who can recommend a a stable, low overhead mutli-threaded (tranfer not cpu) sftp client?  Filezila uses way to much cpu per transfer

[22:40] <nicotognetti> doug: I wish to learn to use Ubuntu comfortably. A simple and short text file should be opened by the default editor...
[22:40] <joshua24> I installed Intrepid Ibex to my 160GB drive and I used my 40 as /home. Now I wanna install Winblows 7 beta to the 40. can I change the 40 from /home to blank without losing data?

[22:40] <elpolilla> hi
[22:40] <Lokiase> ActionParsnip: I looked up the boot options, and at startup I noticed a message of "old cpu" "acpi" "blahblahblah", can you help me?
[22:40] <cilkay> tamale: Oh, you're talking about that "Sharing" think in "Network & Connectivity" in the System Settings. Never used it. I just don'
[22:40] <elpolilla> is python 2.6 on the stable repos?
[22:40] <throwt> joshua24: no, but you can resize it.  btw it's called windows
[22:40] <Phebus> JimmyDee, I know Asterisk ;)
[22:40] <cilkay> tamale: I just don't find that control panel all that useful.
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> JimmyDee: i dont get what you are getting at? do you have a support question?
[22:40] <spyware> sudo webcam-server
[22:40] <spyware> bind: Address already in use
[22:40] <pyrophelia> JimmyDee, sorry to hear that.  If you try the #debian channel I'm sure they'd be much more receptive. =)

[22:41] <spyware> how can i kill the process using webcam?
[22:41] <joshua24> slashzul: is there a away to upgrade a 7.04 from an 8.04 cdrom? I tried the netwrk upgrade and it crashed
[22:41] <joshua24> Bot that I know
[22:41] <cdenny> ActionParsnip do you have an opinion between amarok and rhythmbox?
[22:41] <Lokiase> JimmyDee: will that solve the shutdown prob also?
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> Lokiase: you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.list and add the extra boot options you require
[22:41] <tamale> cilkay: I don't even see "network and connectivity" in gnome. I don't see any sharing options in "Network tools" or "Network Configuration"
[22:41] <shadow98> ActionParsnip, thanks for all your help...im now off to test it in the car..
[22:41] <JimmyDee> yes ASTERISK the friggin PBX software in the UBUNTU REPOS the #asterisk people wont answer, not even try
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> cdenny: i like amarok, mainly due to its xul web interface
[22:42] <pyrophelia> so no recommendations for a good sftp client, eh?
[22:42] <fishtron> hi everyone: usb wireless mouse on laptop doesn't work proper - clicks and wheel scrolls fine, but pointer does not move. any ideas?
[22:42] <[p]Zombie> which IDE is most popular for c coders within linux?
[22:42] <cdenny> ActionParsnip is it ipod compatible?
[22:42] <nicotognetti> Help needed: I'm trying to install a software which needs a java virtual machine installed...
[22:42] <rww> slashzul: you could do it using the alternate CD, but considering that the upgrade path is 7.04 > 7.10 > 8.04 > 8.10, I'd probably just back up and reinstall if I were you.
[22:42] <ActionParsnip> cdenny: no idea, i dont use any of apples garbage
[22:42] <elpolilla> where's python2.6 in ubuntu?
[22:42] <pyrophelia> Cdenny, which ipod?
[22:42] <Tekumel> I'm a complete noob to Ubuntu (and Linux as a whole), and trying to install 8.10 on a spare computer I have. The Live CD boots fine, but doesn't recognize the sole SATA hard drive I have in the machine. I've tried pci=nomsi and all_generic_ide boot options, and still nothing. Can somebody give me a hand troubleshooting this?
[22:42] <Frantic225> elpolilla: no py2.6 by default but u can apt-get it
[22:42] <ActionParsnip> elpolilla: apt-cache search python
[22:42] <IndyGunFreak> slashzul: you can go 7.04-7.10-8.04.. might be better to just clean install 8.10 though
[22:43] <cdenny> Pyroraptor ipod nano 3g
[22:43] <Lokiase> ActionParsnip: and acpi=force?
[22:43] <cdenny> Pyroraptor the fat small one ;)

[22:43] <slashzul> I crashed from 7.04 to 7.10 , couldnt boot
[22:43] <elpolilla> Frantic225, how?
[22:43] <joshua24> [p]Zombie: which IDE is most popular for c coders within linux?   ..........  IDK but would NetBeans work?
