[19:47] <LostChain> i got this error when installing xmms
[19:47] <LostChain> Package xmms is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[19:47] <LostChain> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[19:47] <LostChain> is only available from another source
[19:47] <LostChain> E: Package xmms has no installation candidate

[19:55] <ardchoille> Auctionedllama: No, if it's not on the list it means that no one has gotten it to work or proved it won't work yet. You could be the first to post for that card if you find a fix

[20:00] <jrib> wolter: jaunty is in development.  Discussion in #ubuntu+1
[20:00] <LostChain> jrib: yes i tried that
[20:00] <dayo> !ubottu | LostChain
[20:00] <wolter> well, stable it should be, but I mean, somewhat complete?
[20:00] <sirhc_> quibbler : thank you
[20:00] <tsrk> what should I use to delete a user, userdel or deluser?
[20:01] <quibbler> sirhc_: np

[20:02] <anxiolytic> Is it possible to stop Rhythmbox from indexing? Right now it's working fine but it's indexing my entire hard drive. Very annoying.. I want to cancel/stop it and just select specific folders
[20:02] <LostChain> ok
[20:02] <judget_> Hi everyone New Ubuntu just installed here
[20:02] <NFischer> is there a possibility to boot without wifi drivers? interpid is giving me a kernel anic and i think the villain is my wifi card..
[20:02] <anxiolytic> judget_: cool
[20:03] <aitd> tsrk: userdel will not remove the home dir for the user unless the -R option is used
[20:03] <redvamp128> NFischer:  have you tried booting with a different kernel or safe mode using grub
[20:04] <judget_> THanks for the welcome
[20:04] <tsrk> aitd, it looks to me that neither will deluser
[20:04] <NFischer> redvamp128 its a live session.. dont have grub
[20:04] <sirhc_> hi judget
[20:04] <root__> dayo: fucked up nigga that is what you are .. please leave this forum
[20:04] <sauvin> Trying to build a chroot, getting this error running apt-get install sudo: "dpkg: syntax error: unknown group `Debian-exim' in statoverride file". What this means, please?
[20:04] <HLM11> need help with my sound not working.. im using a sound blaster mp3+ external usb drive
[20:04] <paganini> OK, so, I have a script in /etc/init.d that sits in the background and loops. In order to kill this process on shutdown I have it echo $PPID /var/run/appname.pid. I have a different script called at shutdown that kill -9 `cat /var/run/apppname.pid`
[20:05] <paganini> The problem is that the stored PPID is WRONG
[20:05] <jrib> !language | root__
[20:05] <judget_> Hi sirhc Not My first Ubuntu system Trying to entice my wife to use this instead of You-Know-What
[20:05] <Redragon> I am trying to install wwmkr. Terminal is currently showing:
[20:05] <LostChain> jrib: still doesnt play
[20:05] <dayo> jrib: thank you
[20:05] <alucardromero> HLM11: Check the sounds settings and see if sound is in digital mode or not.
[20:05] <jrib> LostChain: what sound output is selected now?
[20:05] <paganini> TThis script has been working well for a while; the PPID mismatch has started up suddenly
[20:05] <paganini> in the last week or so
[20:05] <jrib> LostChain: in audacious preferences
[20:05] <aitd> tsrk: deluser -remove-home will do the trick, you can also backup the dir first before the user is removed
[20:05] <judget_> gotta run4 now  byeee
[20:06] <LostChain> jrib: pulseaudio
[20:06] <Redragon> Unpacking wwmkr-qt (from wwmkr-qt_1.0.37-1_all.deb) ... Setting up wwmkr-qt (1.0.37-1) ...  mdonahue@mdonahue-desktop:~/Desktop$
[20:06] <HLM11> im new to ubuntu, how do I do that, but my soundcard is set for digital and analog
[20:06] <aitd> tsrk userdel, i believe is more of a low level util
[20:06] <jrib> LostChain: don't know then
[20:06] <redvamp128> NFischer:  With the live cd there is not much you can do-- other than control-alt-backspace then alt-f2 and kill the process (though you have to know the driver) with an install you can do more. Unless you want to ask again and someone else may be able to help you.
[20:06] <tsrk> aitd, ok, I tried deluser and it worked fine
[20:06] <LostChain> its cool i just dont like the player that comes with ubuntu 8
[20:06] <aitd> tsrk good deal
[20:06] <Redragon> The installation never seems to occur.
[20:06] <tsrk> i figured since i used adduser to add it i should use deluser to delete it
[20:07] <tsrk> i just didn't understand why there were 2 separate ones
[20:07] <alucardromero> HLM11: In the upper right, right click on the volume icon, and click on "Open Volume Control".
[20:07] <nickrud> Redragon, what you pasted is the complete setup
[20:07] <NFischer> redvamp128 the problem is when i install it the same problem happens.. i dont want to give iup my working hardy for trying
[20:07] <Kutz> I am having some problems. I used Wubi to install Ubuntu. I get the Ubuntu login screen and enter my username and password and then it just gives me a blank screen with a cursor.
[20:07] <root__> dayo> how do u even live with your self .. am sure u dont look at the mirror
[20:07] <LostChain> jrib the one that comes with ubutnu 8 works fine, i just hate the playlist editor
[20:07] <aitd> I prefer the adduser as well useradd has an option for passwords but on my system(s) the password ends up in the passwd file as plain text instead of in shadow
[20:07] <LostChain> and the plugins suck
[20:07] <Redragon> So the program is currently installed?
[20:07] <darthanubis> compiz fails to autostart at login
[20:07] <HLM11> its open, but its not telling me anything about digital..
[20:08] <NFischer> redvamp128 but thx ill try the ctrl+alt backspace thing
[20:08] <alucardromero> Hmm.
[20:08] <quibbler> root__: give it a rest
[20:08] <aitd> tsrk useradd works better for me in other situations though. So I end up using them both from time to time.
[20:08] <Kutz> Anyone have any ideas?
[20:09] <tsrk> aitd, what situations?  what do they do differently?
[20:09] <elementz> does anybody know how to compile/install via CMake?
[20:09] <elementz> i am trying to install the following http://artoolkit.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/artoolkit/branches/hartmut-pre-2_8/artoolkit/
[20:10] <HLM11> I am getting no sound..
[20:10] <LostChain> jrib: know anything about installing mplayer for ubuntu
[20:10] <G-Bleezy> where is Xorg.conf located???
[20:10] <jrib> LostChain: same way you installed audacious
[20:10] <jrib> G-Bleezy: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[20:10] <G-Bleezy> k
[20:11] <aitd> tsrk: useradd when I just need to add a user to a server / group for file access. The group has a password for access. adduser when I need to have a home dir and password installed on the system, such as a desktop
[20:11] <Kutz> I put Ubuntu on it's own partition also. I get the ubuntu login screen and log in fine, it just gives me a tan screen with a cursor. Nothing else happens.
[20:11] <LostChain> apt .... i forgot the rest
[20:11] <jrib> elementz: synaptic
[20:11] <jrib> LostChain: use synaptic
[20:11] <LostChain> ok
[20:11]  * jrib sees a pattern
[20:12] <Owner> does anyone know the solution to ubuntu failling to get  files from mirrors on first installintionn it keeps giving the sme message no matr what mirror I choose
[20:12] <aitd> tsrk: also tend to use gpasswd to manage the groups and group passwords
[20:12] <failers^> what should i chmod my home/user/.gnupg/gpg.conf to since it warns about wrong permission
[20:12] <tsrk> aitd, oh, ok, i think i understand, i didn't even know groups could have passwords
[20:12] <hatten> bye folks, I'll go play some OpeniLeroXtreme
[20:12] <hatten> *openlieroxtreme
[20:12] <jrib> failers^: mine is 600
[20:13] <failers^> jrib ok thx
[20:13] <redvamp128> Kutz:  you could try reinstall ubuntu-desktop or install the kubuntu-desktop sign into that go into your package manger and tell it to reinstall ubuntu desktop
[20:13] <aitd> tsrk: yup. Even so, I have set up groups and then added the sticky bit to the dir, then added the users to the group with no password, but let them have full control of the dirs and files they add individually.
[20:13] <Owner> no the laptop has no oratiin os on it at the moment
[20:14] <tsrk> aitd, the sticky bit?  what's that?
[20:14] <aitd> tsrk: this way they can add files for group access, but cannot delete any of them without owning them first. .. Also set the umask to 0027 before doing this to make the job easier
[20:14] <c0rrupt0r> i need some help please
[20:14] <sauvin> Can anybody point me to a good guide for getting a chroot going under inprepid ibex?
[20:15] <Owner> does anyone know the solution to ubuntu failling to get  files from mirrors on first installintionn it keeps giving the same message no matr what mirror I choose
[20:15] <c0rrupt0r> when i open up update manager i see updates in there but the update button is grayed out and wont let me click it
[20:15] <elementz> jrib: synaptic? for what?
[20:15] <jrib> elementz: the answer to your question
[20:15] <sauvin> Owner, what error?
[20:15] <tsrk> aitd, ah, ok, i've been wondering if there's a way to do that
[20:15] <redvamp128> Kutz:  you could try alt+f1 to get a prompt up to do the reinstall or install
[20:15] <Necrogamemaster> Excuse me I'm having a problem where my wireless works but the light is not on
[20:15] <Necrogamemaster> Strange isn't it?
[20:16] <diginux> Necrogamemaster: if it works, don't worry about it :)
[20:16] <tabidachi_> Necrogamemaster, do you need help with it?
[20:16] <jrib> elementz: install cmake using synaptic, then read the documentation for your software
[20:16] <Owner> something about bad mirrors or no rlease file
[20:16] <elementz> jrib: ah got it
[20:16] <aitd> tsrk: Sticky bit: when assigned to the dir allows users to only delete the files within the dir for which they are owner of the file or the dir itself.
[20:16] <elementz> th
[20:16] <elementz> thx
[20:16] <Necrogamemaster> Just wondering if it could become a problem later, maybe it just burned out, lol
[20:16] <tsrk> aitd, ok, thanks
[20:16] <tabidachi_> I'd leave alone Necrogamemaster
[20:16] <aitd> tsrk: for instance chmod 1770 <dirname>
[20:16] <diginux> Necrogamemaster: mine doesnt come on either, it is probably an issue of the driver just not turning the light on
[20:17] <tsrk> aitd, the 1 in front means the sticky bit?
[20:17] <shiraj_> hey guys
[20:17] <fiftyone_> hello i have a question, when i type on my laptop my text goes crazy because of my hand is brushing the trackpad, anyone have this problem, if so how do you solve it?
[20:17] <Owner> i googled it and it seems I am not theonly onewho hasseen this
[20:17] <fiftyone_> makes it damn near impossible to type nicely
[20:17] <aitd> tsrk: yes. Then as root chgrp for the group
[20:17] <tsrk> ok
[20:17] <aitd> tsrk: add the users to the group and you are done
[20:17] <shiraj_> anyone have experience being connected to 2 different wireless nets at the same time?
[20:18] <EQUIV> Hello, how do I protect my server agaings UDP flooding?
[20:18] <G-Bleezy> wqhere can i find my Xsession config file?
[20:18] <Owner> something about bad mirrors or no rlease files
[20:18] <maxime_> hey guys
[20:18] <maxime_> i have a Q concerning virtual machine
[20:18] <foolz> this is kind of a random question, but does anyone have any suggestions on what is a good font combination to set in System / Preferences / Appearances / Fonts?  it seems that no matter what font I choose, they are all kind of ugly... I could also use a font suggestion for my Bluefish editor, that was reset when I last updated for some reason
[20:18] <Necrogamemaster> One more question what desktop enviroment is less demanding KDE, Gnome, or XFCE???
[20:18] <Owner> I doing a net install
[20:18] <redvamp128> fiftyone: I did find this about temporarily disable the touchpad- Temporarily Disable Touchpad While Typing : Ubuntu Tutorials : Dapper - Gutsy - Hardy - Intrepid <http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/05/06/temporarily-disable-touchpad-while-typing/>
[20:19] <Kutz> So does anyone know how to fix that problem?
[20:19] <napsy> I have a problem. I have an encrypted /home partition, entrypted during installation, now reinstalled my system and don't know how to restore the /home encrypted partition. The installer didn't recognised it. Please help.
[20:20] <tangentcollision> Necrogamemaster: fluxbox
[20:20] <redvamp128> Kutz:  you could try reinstalling ubuntu-desktop  or install the xubuntu-desktop- log off and sign into that to gain access to the Synaptic Package Manger to do a reinstall of Ubuntu-desktop.
[20:21] <Kutz> redvamp128, All I did was run wubi.
[20:21] <Kutz> Did I do something wrong?
[20:21] <foolz> Necro, I am not an expert but I think XFCE is the least demanding of those three
[20:21] <anxiolytic> Is it possible to stop Rhythmbox from indexing? Right now it's working fine but it's indexing my entire hard drive. Very annoying.. I want to cancel/stop it and just select specific folders  ????
[20:21] <Kutz> redvamp128, I can log in I just can't do anything.
[20:22] <nootrope> i downloaded and unpacked an app whose bianry is only available for Linux within a .tar.gz archive. I unarchived it inside ~/opt/. How do I make the binary executable either by double clicking on it or--better yet--adding it to a desktop panel. Currently, I get a warning, when I double-click the binary from Nautilus, that asks what I want to do with the file.
[20:22] <redvamp128> Kutz:  I think something went odd in the install of the ubuntu-desktop (gnome) but no you didn't do anything wrong.
[20:22] <anxiolytic> I figured it out.. close and reopen the app
[20:22] <Kutz> redvamp128, How would I reinstall ubuntu-desktop?
[20:22] <redvamp128> Kutz:  try first alt-f1 should bring up a terminal
[20:23] <Dat1> Just a note on my problem I though I was having before about not being able to delete a suspicious user.  The user was created by transmission torrent afaict.  And not being able to administrate Users and Groups is a bug with the GUI, it works perfectly over the command line.  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885096  You guys will have to remember that one.  :D
[20:23] <EQUIV> Kutz, try alt + F2
[20:24] <c0rrupt0r> i have a problem with updates, when i open up update manager i see updates in there but the update button is grayed out and wont let me click it
[20:24] <c0rrupt0r> ubuntu 8.04
[20:24] <Kutz> Ok
[20:24] <tangentcollision> Kutz: ctrl+alt+backspace then apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop then apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[20:24] <Kutz> I am going to restart the pc and run it into ubuntu
[20:25] <Kutz> So I want to login right?
[20:25] <tangentcollision> actually
[20:25] <gartral> it IS safe to resize from the beginning of a NTFS partition->back to create free space in the front of the drive, right?
[20:25] <redvamp128> tangentcollision:  thanks I was just getting ready to type that- but got a private message from someone else
[20:25] <aitd> tsrk: further on the useradd. typically I use it in scripts to bulk add users to the system
[20:25] <tangentcollision> sudo apt-get install irssi first, then use ctrl+alt+F2 screen irssi to keep a signal to us during the fray
[20:26] <Owner> does anyone know a floppy install process or files for ubuntu  that really works for sure
[20:26] <wolter> Hi, I enabled the jaunty restricted repo under intrepid to install the latest nvidia drivers, and now I have them installed. How do I remove all the other jaunty updates?
[20:26] <tsrk> aitd, ok, i usually don't have to do anything like that
[20:26] <LostChain> anyone have an idea why my video playback flickers alot
[20:26] <aitd> tsrk: also using a util called chpasswd(?) to force encrypted passwords to shadow and then expire them so that they will have to change the pw on the first login.
[20:26] <tangentcollision> Kutz: you get all that?
[20:26] <Owner> mos of the poceses I am running into are iether brken or buggy
[20:26] <anise> hello to all,can anyone tell me how can i make swf flash photos slideshow in ubuntu 8.10
[20:26] <ardchoille> wolter: it's a very bad idea to mix repos like that
[20:26] <Kutz> Yea, logging in right now
[20:26] <tangentcollision> hmm
[20:27] <c0rrupt0r> i have a problem with updates, when i open up update manager i see updates in there but the update button is grayed out and wont let me click it
[20:27] <aitd> tsrk: np. Useful info for future use maybe
[20:27] <tangentcollision> so you're not on the computer
[20:27] <tsrk> aitd, ah, that one could be useful (chpasswd), thanks
[20:27] <tangentcollision> Kutz: don't worry about logging in
[20:27] <durt> wolter: the latest drivers are in 8.10 are they not (180.29)?
[20:27] <wolter> ardchoille, its even a worse idea to not do it being a consequence of such not being able to suspend one's computer between classes
[20:27] <Kutz> i log in, when I hit ctrl+alt+backspace it logs me out
[20:27] <LostChain> my 2 gigabyte jump drive gives me an error saying cannot mount
[20:27] <tangentcollision> you're going to be logging in to command line
[20:27] <wolter> durt, no, but 180.11 or 22,,
[20:28] <anise> hello to all,can anyone tell me how can i make swf flash photos slideshow in ubuntu 8.10
[20:28] <aitd> tsrk: I had a full example uploaded to my website at one point but pulled it for updating. Otherwise I could show you the script and the differences easier.
[20:28] <ardchoille> wolter: mixing repos can destroy the system, there is no valid reason for it.
[20:28] <sauvin> Owner, I asked because I thought *maybe* I could help. I'm actually kinda busy right now trying to get my girlfriend's computer running. Please STOP hammering me.
[20:28] <tangentcollision> Kutz: you're going to be doing all of this in command line
[20:28] <EQUIV> Kutz, try ctrl alt F1 and then log in from there
[20:28] <aitd> tsrk: It will end up there again before long....
[20:28] <quibbler> c0rrupt0r: try sudo apt-get update in the terminal and see what if any errors occur
[20:28] <Kutz> ok I logged in with session GNOME
[20:29] <titan_ark> hey :) am a n00b, need some help. how do i update a software? i want to update Transmission torrent client
[20:29] <tangentcollision> Kutz: no, stop right there
[20:29] <Kutz> I have a desktop image but can't do anything
[20:29] <wolter> ardchoille, that's why I just installed the nvidia drivers, obviously having previously consulted if that wouldn't harm my system.
[20:29] <Renfield> How do I configure my network settings in Ubuntu 8.10, and have them stick around?
[20:29] <tsrk> aitd, how soon do you think?
[20:29] <c0rrupt0r> quibbler: ok thank you will try that
[20:29] <Renfield> When I reboot, it says the network is not connected, and when I go to the network settings, they are blank again.
[20:29] <tangentcollision> Kutz: log in via command line, that's why I had you ctrl+alt+bkspc
[20:29] <aitd> tsrk: within the month http://projects.cybereffect.net
[20:29] <tsrk> aitd, ok, thanks
[20:30] <Kutz> tangentcollision, ctrl+alt+backspace at the login screen?
[20:30] <wolter> ardchoille, anyway, how do i disable the appearance of all those jaunty updates now? I just disabled the software sources jaunty entries..
[20:30] <EQUIV> Kutz, ctrl+alt+F1 and then log in from virtual konsoll 1
[20:30] <LostChain> Renfield: at least you can establish a network...
[20:30] <Redragon> I just wanted to say thank you to you folks for helping me today. It has to be frustrating for you dealing with a novice user like myself.
[20:30] <ardchoille> wolter: I don't think there is a way to fix that
[20:30] <Renfield> Oh, I mean that the configuration is back to dhcp, but I don't want it to be DHCP, I want to manually configure my network.
[20:30] <aitd> tsrk: np.  Good day
[20:30] <tangentcollision> Kutz: ctrl+alt+bkspc to kill xserver-xorg
[20:30] <Redragon> I was able to get wwmkr installed and am currently taking it for a test run.
[20:30] <wolter> ardchoille, about when is jaunty going to be released?
[20:30] <Renfield> Should there be a "save" button on the dialog?
[20:30] <Renfield> There is only "OK".
[20:30] <ardchoille> wolter: the jaunty stuff replaced your intrepid stuff, this is why it's a bad idea
[20:30] <tangentcollision> Kutz: then ctrl+alt+F2 to get to a terminal
[20:31] <tsrk> stupid question: how do I see all running processes?
[20:31] <ardchoille> wolter: hmm.. no idea, perhaps ask in #ubuntu+1
[20:31] <IntuitiveNipple> wolter: April 23rd or thereabouts
[20:31] <eraggo> tsrk: ps -A
[20:31] <wolter> ardchoille, well, it didn't replace any packages
[20:31] <wolter> oh ok
[20:31] <Schuenemann> tsrk,  top or ps aux
[20:31] <wolter> i can put up with that haha
[20:31] <tsrk> eraggo, ok, thanks
[20:31] <tangentcollision> Kutz: then sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop
[20:31] <eraggo> :)
[20:31] <wolter> I won't update a single package for then.
[20:31] <tangentcollision> Kutz: then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[20:31] <ardchoille> wolter: did you run apt-get update or apt-get upgrade?
[20:31] <wolter> also, is it sane to add a script to the /etc/acpi/resume.d ?
[20:31] <c0rrupt0r> quibbler: ok I found out my problem is im on ubuntu 8.04 and I have ubuntu 8.10 ppa repositories
[20:31] <wolter> ardchoille, update
[20:32] <coz_> hey  guys does any one her have link to the md5sums  the main ubuntu site seems to like to hide the darn thing
[20:32] <wolter> ardchoille, i didn't update any package but the nvidia drivers
[20:32] <Kutz> tangentcollision, waiting for the login screen to appear
[20:32] <ardchoille> wolter: you may be ok then, just remove the jaunty repos from sources and update again
[20:32] <quibbler> c0rrupt0r: i'm glad you found the problem
[20:32] <tangentcollision> Kutz: no, you're not looking for a login screen
[20:32] <Kutz> Ok, I am asking.
[20:32] <lithixium> coz_: http://releases.ubuntu.com/intrepid/MD5SUMS
[20:32] <c0rrupt0r> quibbler: thank you for your help
[20:32] <tangentcollision> Kutz: ctrl+alt+F2 to get to a terminal
[20:32] <coz_> lithixium,   thanks guy
[20:32] <Kutz> When?
[20:32] <tangentcollision> then sudo killx I think
[20:32] <tangentcollision> now
[20:32] <Kutz> When do I push them is what I am asking
[20:32] <quibbler> c0rrupt0r: you are welcome
[20:32] <tangentcollision> any time you can
[20:33] <tangentcollision> whenever they do something is good
[20:33] <Renfield> Do I need to be root in order to configure the network?
[20:33] <EQUIV> Kutz, to get back to gnome press Ctr+alt+F7
[20:33] <eraggo> Renfield: i think yes
[20:33] <Kutz> Ok, I am at this screen, Kernel 2.6.27-7-generic
[20:33] <Kutz> recovery mod
[20:33] <IntuitiveNipple> Renfield: You'll need root privileges (using sudo ....)
[20:33] <Kutz> memtest86
[20:33] <Renfield> eraggo: Then why does it let me configure it as a local user, and why doesn't it ask me for a password?
[20:34] <tangentcollision> you made it all the way back to ...
[20:34] <tangentcollision> Kutz: do everything normally
[20:34] <Kutz> ok I am at a command line
[20:34] <trygg> why does firefox scroll incredibly slow? have compiz and working drivers for my card
[20:34] <Kutz> it says grub>
[20:34] <tangentcollision> restart
[20:34] <tangentcollision> do everything like you normally do
[20:34] <IntuitiveNipple> Renfield: what user does the command "whoami" report ?
[20:34] <redvamp128> Thanks tangentcollision for stepping in-- I was just getting ready to talk that one through to Kutz.
[20:34] <eraggo> Renfield: weird... i must unlock first :D
[20:35] <durt> trygg: how much mem is firefox using?
[20:35] <Mariano> how can I install torrent, I actualy have de download?
[20:35] <Renfield> IntuitiveNipple: Sorry, can't do it. I no longer get any response from the mouse.
[20:35] <tangentcollision> redvamp128: you may have to take over soon, I have to finish moving my house
[20:35] <EQUIV> Kutz, if u go in to recovery mode u can re-install ubuntu-desktop from there
[20:35] <trygg> 250 mb
[20:35] <trygg> durt:
[20:35] <eraggo> Mariano: waht you mean? ubuntu has torrent program after install...
[20:35] <redvamp128> tangentcollision:  though I was going to have him install -- xubuntu-desktop to get to where he would have had a gui for synaptic to click the reinstall of the ubuntu but your way worked out better.
[20:36] <durt> trygg: out of what total?
[20:36] <tangentcollision> redvamp128: I have been using debian since I got my first computer when I was 8
[20:36] <Mariano> thankś, but who can use it?
[20:36] <Mariano> how, i mean
[20:36] <trygg> 1 gb
[20:37] <tangentcollision> I learned how to use command line quite well :D
[20:37] <eraggo> well. you download torrent file and open it via it
[20:37] <redvamp128> tangentcollision:  I went the way of Red Hat and Mandrake - then windowed for a while...
[20:37] <trygg> durt: everything else works fine, just firefox thats bugged
[20:37] <Mariano> yes
[20:37] <Pollywog> does anyone know why the htsearch command cannot be found in the htdig package?
[20:37] <Pollywog> Hardy Heron btw
[20:37] <quibbler> Mariano: internet>transmission
[20:37] <Kutz> ok i have the terminal
[20:37] <eraggo> Mariano: understood?
[20:37] <Kutz> I am logged in
[20:37] <Kutz> now what do I type again?
[20:37] <Kutz> sudo what
[20:38] <sirhc_> does anyone have any lirc experience and want to help a newb?
[20:38] <Mariano> let me see please
[20:38] <tangentcollision> redvamp128: I use windows for my main computer, ubuntu for server, and openSuSE 11.1 for my laptop
[20:38] <Pollywog> I am using Flock and it works even though Firefox is buggy
[20:38] <tangentcollision> okay, bye
[20:38] <LHC> hey all
[20:38] <durt> trygg: firefox scrolls slow for me when it's using more then 50% of my mem (450mb total)
[20:38] <eraggo> LHC: hi :)
[20:38] <LHC> hey
[20:39] <HLM11> need sound help: soundcard is soundblaste mp3+ external usb
[20:39] <Pollywog> Flock browser that is, for anyone who is having trouble with YouTube and such
[20:39] <LHC> I got something cool that I would like to know HAHA
[20:39] <Lovetospooch> hey can anyone help me?
[20:39] <LHC> does anyone have this in their home? or work. Like have a sound system that people can add sounds to a playlist
[20:39] <redvamp128> tangentcollision:  I got off windows xp after a bdsod upgrading to sp3 (installed ubuntu to recover files) and loved it so much and never looked back -- though haven't booted the Mandrake box in about 9 months now.
[20:39] <martin__> hey Evilrick
[20:39] <Schuenemann> !ask
[20:39] <wolter> my touchpad settings reset when I wake my computer..
[20:39] <HLM11> it is supported, I tried installing a win32 progam  with wine and got these errors:err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element
[20:39] <HLM11> err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element
[20:39] <cow_2001> is there a program for DNS caching in ubuntu? it seems dnsmasq doesn't keep its own domainname-ip table
[20:39] <IntuitiveNipple> Pollywog: htsearch should be in /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
[20:40] <LHC> im tryin to figure that out
[20:40] <Pollywog> IntuitiveNipple: ty
[20:40] <Lovetospooch> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound its not working how do i set back alsa mixer
[20:40] <redvamp128> HLM11:  ask in #winehq they are wine issues --
[20:40] <HLM11> its not a wine issue, its a sound issue
[20:40] <robert_zaccour> is there a big difference between ubuntu and eeebuntu? can i install eeebuntu on my thinkpad?
[20:40] <Mariano> quibbler: where is :  internet>transmission
[20:40] <thechris> how do i restart samba?
[20:40] <redvamp128> HLM11:  it is how wine handles sound issue...there are things you need to add to the -- wine registry to fix them.
[20:40] <Pollywog> IntuitiveNipple: do you which package I need to install to get that?
[20:41] <sirhc_> how can i tell which udp port a usb device is on?
[20:41] <Pollywog> thechris: /etc/init.d/samba restart
[20:41] <HLM11> its not just wine its everything
[20:41] <IntuitiveNipple> Pollywog: htdig
[20:41] <o_o> q issuh???
[20:41] <HLM11> I have no sound on anything
[20:41] <Pollywog> IntuitiveNipple: ty

[20:41] <robert_zaccour> is there a big difference between ubuntu and eeebuntu? can i install eeebuntu on my thinkpad?
[20:41] <o_o> Dx
[20:41] <quibbler> Mariano: in your main menu...applications-internet-transmission
[20:41] <redvamp128> HLM11:  I was only going by what you said about wine earlier and I get them but the sound does work..
[20:42] <thechris> Pollywog: no, there is no samba in /etc/init.d
[20:42] <redvamp128> !sound | HLM11:
[20:42] <n8tuser> robert_zaccour -> why not try it and let us know how it goes?
[20:42] <Pollywog> thechris: let me check
[20:42] <Mariano> eraggo where is :  internet>transmission
[20:42] <robert_zaccour> just figured an answered question would be an hour faster?
[20:42] <titan_ark> hey could someone please help me with updating Transmission
[20:43] <Pollywog> thechris: I think you do not have the samba server installed
[20:43] <titan_ark> there is some change in the repository and am a n00b. i am unable to figure it out
[20:43] <anom01y> hey guys I formatted reformatted a 4gb usb stick, and now I can't change the permissions on it.
[20:43] <Pollywog> did you install the package with a deb?
[20:43] <Pollywog> or tarball?
[20:43] <Guest97238> fuck you!
[20:43] <thechris> Pollywog: wow, how do i have a smb.conf?!
[20:43] <Mariano> thank a lot, eraggo and quibbler
[20:43] <durt> titan_ark: 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade'
[20:43] <nickrud> !language Guest97238
[20:44] <Mariano> i found it
[20:44] <Pollywog> thechris: dpkg -l | grep samba
[20:44] <nickrud> !language | Guest97238
[20:44] <anom01y> sudo chown lsemple:lsemple /media/Disk -R gives me "Operation not permitted"
[20:44] <gartral> eeebuntu is a fork for the ASUS EEEpc
[20:44] <Lovetospooch> can anyone help me?
[20:44] <Lovetospooch> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound its not working
[20:44] <Pollywog> maybe he has Tourette's Keyboard Syndrome
[20:44] <thechris> Pollywog: you seem to be correct, i'm just suprised I have samba config files without actually having samba
[20:44] <Pollywog> oic
[20:44] <Lovetospooch> can i install back alsa
[20:44] <Lovetospooch> ?
[20:45] <Renfield> IntuitiveNipple: whoami reports jlmlocal. This is the user that I was forced to create when I installed Ubuntu 8.10 amd64.
[20:45] <titan_ark> durt: Just that? I checked their site and it talks about some change in repository etc
[20:46] <Pollywog> IntuitiveNipple: ty I indeed have htsearch where you said it should be
[20:46] <IntuitiveNipple> Renfield: Okay, then in reference to your earlier question, you should need to use 'sudo...' in order to execute commands to configure the network
[20:46] <martin__> Evilrick,  I paste you solution Here >>> http://paste.ubuntu.com/118168/
[20:46] <Renfield> IntuitiveNipple: I did sudo su - to root, and change the password, since I don't remember being given the opportunity to set the password.
[20:46] <durt> titan_ark: you want to install outside of the repos?
[20:46] <martin__> was a good day
[20:46] <Renfield> IntuitiveNipple: Ok, so if I select the network configuration from the Ubuntu desktop, how do I get it to "sudo" as necessary?
[20:46] <IntuitiveNipple> Renfield: Hmmm... you set a password for the root user? In Ubuntu, we don't usually do that.
[20:46] <Renfield> Oh?
[20:46] <Elda> I was worried in getting a dell 1501 that it would be hard to get linux working on, but I am very glad that it works much better than my Toshiba did xD
[20:46] <ardchoille> Renfield: sudo/gksudo do anything you need, there's no real reason to set a root password. I haven't had to do it in 4 years with Ubuntu
[20:47] <Elda> Even with an ati card
[20:47] <IntuitiveNipple> Renfield: From the desktop, the network configuration tools will know when to ask for permissions and prompt you
[20:47] <Renfield> Oh, I'm just used to root always having a password.
[20:47] <Renfield> Ok, so I'll go and unset the root password.
[20:47] <ardchoille> Renfield: The default root accoount in Ubuntu is locked
[20:47] <ardchoille> !rootsudo | Renfield
[20:47] <titan_ark> durt, I am sorry, I am new to linux, I hardly understand this. Tried updateing using sudo apt get install but it did not help. I just want to update from 1.3 to the latest version because i want to use the scheduler feature etc
[20:47] <HLM11> after going through the trouble shooter, my sound should be working, but it is not
[20:47] <Renfield> I'm used to much more low-level system configuration.
[20:48] <IntuitiveNipple> Renfield: In Ubuntu the initial user is added to the "admin" group, which is allowed root permissions via sudo.
[20:48] <Renfield> ardchoille: I know about sudo.
[20:48] <ardchoille> Renfield: unset root password instructions are here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[20:48] <Renfield> ardchoille: Thanks.
[20:48] <ardchoille> yw
[20:48] <IntuitiveNipple> Renfield: I usually just do "sudo su" to become root
[20:48] <Renfield> I think I know too much for my own good here.
[20:48] <Daria_F> http://www.devdaily.com/java/jwarehouse/jext-src-5.0/src/lib/org/jext/dawn/io/FileManager.java.shtml
[20:48] <ardchoille> Renfield: hehe
[20:48] <IntuitiveNipple> Renfield: lol it happens to us all
[20:48] <durt> titan_ark: not the way ubuntu works. The next version of transmission will be in Jaunty, out in the end of April.
[20:48] <Renfield> IntuitiveNipple: Yea, I know what you mean.
[20:49] <Myrtti> IntuitiveNipple: :-<
[20:49] <Schuenemann> more about sudo: http://xkcd.com/149/
[20:49] <redvamp128> HLM11:  okay still no sound with alsa -- What is your sound card -- should do a lspci should tell you what ubuntu says it is.
[20:49]  * IntuitiveNipple sings ...If sussie loves sudo like I love sudo ... la la la
[20:50] <titan_ark> durt: but i just checked and 1.4 was released for ubuntu in jan and Feb 14th they have released 1.5 for ubuntu
[20:50] <Titan8990> Renfield, that means its time to move on to #gentoo :)
[20:50] <titan_ark> durt: http://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=5604#p31095
[20:50] <maxime_> typing /etc/profile
[20:50] <IntuitiveNipple> Renfield: if you configure the network manually using ifconfig or /etc/network/interfaces, NetworkManager will stop managing that interface automatically.
[20:50] <maxime_> in terminal
[20:50] <durt> titan_ark: ok give me two secs
[20:50] <maxime_> says permission not granted
[20:50] <maxime_> wth 6
[20:50] <maxime_> 6
[20:50] <maxime_> ?
[20:50] <FloodBot2> maxime_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:50] <titan_ark> durt: sure thanks :)
[20:51] <HLM11> it is not a pci soundcard, it is an external usb soundcard, it is listed as supported
[20:51] <Titan8990> maxime_, /etc/profile is a text file, you cant execute it....
[20:51] <redvamp128> okay HLM11 then lsusb I think is the command
[20:51] <maxime_>  titan: oh...
[20:51] <HLM11> Bus 003 Device 004: ID 041e:3010 Creative Technology, Ltd SoundBlaster MP3+
[20:51] <maxime_> titan: noob here :P
[20:52] <redvamp128> HLM11:  let me do some reasearch now..
[20:52] <Titan8990> maxime_, if you are wanting to use values in /etc/profile you need to do:   source /etc/profile
[20:52] <HLM11> Thanks
[20:52] <maxime_> titan: that should bring me to the config right
[20:52] <sirhc_> has anyone ever used gnome-lirc-properties?
[20:52] <Titan8990> maxime_, that will update your PATH when the one listed in /etc/profile, but it should be that way by default
[20:52] <Renfield> Titan8990: This is my first non-gentoo installation in many years!
[20:52] <Titan8990> maxime_, no, if you want to edit it:   sudo nano -w /etc/profile
[20:52] <Titan8990> Renfield, hehe
[20:53] <maxime_> thanks titan: im there , lol..feel like im going to have fun :P
[20:53] <lynn> hi maxi
[20:54] <redvamp128> HLM11:  I am looking at the alsa main page and most say to plug speakers into the  stereo jack -- still reading though
[20:54] <Titan8990> maxime_, I highly recommend you make a backup of it before making changes:   sudo cp /etc/profile /etc/profile.BAK
[20:55] <redvamp128> HLM11:  This is what I found so far Matrix:Module-usb-audio - AlsaProject <http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-usb-audio>
[20:55] <HLM11> I have no sterer jack, there is a line in line out and a fron port for a headset
[20:55] <HLM11> stereo*
[20:55] <chthp> anyone good with J2ME (mobile applications) here ?
[20:56] <KDE4000> join #freenode
[20:56] <Renfield> IntuitiveNipple: So do you recommend manually setting the network configuration from /etc/network/interfaces?
[20:56] <KDE4000> miessed /
[20:56] <marcelkoopman> if i chroot to another ubuntu installation, the network doesnt work, why is that?
[20:56] <maxime_> titan , that way itll be located right besides the profile file ?
[20:56] <j85wilson> does anyone have a good reference on udev, sysfs, hal, etc?  Especially with an eye towards ubuntu?
[20:57] <IntuitiveNipple> Renfield: For normal use, no, I'd leave NetworkManager to it. But be aware that any manual changes will stop NM from managing the interface
[20:57] <marcelkoopman> chroot is a jailed environment of another installation right?
[20:57] <Schuenemann> what package do I need for the mysql driver for php? I thought it was php5-mysql
[20:57] <IntuitiveNipple> marcelkoopman: Have you bound /dev/ and /sys/ (as well as /proc/) into the chroot?
[20:58] <n8tuser> j85wilson -> http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html
[20:58] <marcelkoopman> IntuitiveNipple, no I just mount and chroot
[20:58] <Renfield> IntuitiveNipple: Well, ok, but I have yet to get NetworkManager to work! I'm trying to do things the Ubuntu way.
[20:58] <j85wilson> n8tuser: thanks.  I will take a look.
[20:58] <marcelkoopman> IntuitiveNipple, its an option of chroot i presume?
[20:59] <Renfield> IntuitiveNipple: I deleted the auto eth0 config, and tried creating a new one. This new one never gets a network config, and the MAC address area is blank. Do I need to provide a MAC address?
[20:59] <Renfield> Er I mean it never "sees" the network.
[20:59] <n8tuser> Renfield -> post your  /etc/network/interfaces file
[20:59] <vigo> How do I upgrade SeaMonkey? I downloaded the 1.1.4 , it is a GTK installer but I do not know what to do after that.
[20:59] <IntuitiveNipple> marcelkoopman: It might help to "sudo mount --bind /proc $CHROOT/proc && sudo mount --bind /dev $CHROOT/dev && sudo mount --bind /sys $CHROOT/sys"
[21:00] <tuna-fish> A stupid gnome question: how can i set a program to open automatically when someone logs into a sessions
[21:00] <IntuitiveNipple> Renfield: No, that is, I think, for if you want to set a specific MAC
[21:00] <IntuitiveNipple> marcelkoopman: Of course, after you exit the chroot you should umount $CHROOT/{proc,dev,sys} too
[21:01] <Renfield> n8tuser: It is just two lines: auto lo \n iface lo inet loopback
[21:01] <n8tuser> tuna-fish -> launch it in .bashrc ?
[21:01] <martin__> where is the directory ween Istambul has your files too upload a new configuration video off compiz :)
[21:01] <j85wilson> tuna-fish: run gnome-session-properties or some such
[21:01] <redvamp128> HLM11:  I have found numerous launchpad bug reports for that card though you could try what is on this page and see if you can make some sense to it -- Matrix:Module-usb-audio - AlsaProject <http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-usb-audio>
[21:02] <n8tuser> Renfield -> you wanted to add eth0?  a sample can be had from  man interfaces
[21:02] <Renfield> n8tuser: Well, I'd like it to just work from the GUI, isn't that what people are supposed to use?
[21:02] <n8tuser> Renfield -> not necessarily, one can still use good ole cli
[21:03] <baz> whats a good system *log* file to look at?
[21:03] <Sale023> where to download znc for shell
[21:03] <Schuenemann> what package contains the mysql driver for php?
[21:03] <dayo> Renfield: you can use the gui, or you can also edit the /etc/network/interfaces file  (which is what i usually do)
[21:03] <nootrope> how do i make a D/L'ed binary executable from Nautilus double-click or, better, get it to launch from a panel/menu? It's not in any repositories and I D/L'ed it as a .tar.gz. and unarchived it into ~/opt
[21:03] <dayo> Schuenemann: LAMP, i think
[21:03] <marcelkoopman> IntuitiveNipple, thanks
[21:03] <Renfield> dayo: The GUI is not working.
[21:03] <Schuenemann> dayo,  lamp has a lot of stuff
[21:04] <tangentcollision> lamp has everything you need
[21:04] <Schuenemann> tangentcollision,  I already have everything, I just need the driver now
[21:04] <Renfield> I thought Ubuntu was supposed to be user friendly, I can't believe this just does not work at all.
[21:05] <vigo> baz: System>Admin>System Log
[21:05] <IntuitiveNipple> Schuenemann: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/php-db
[21:05] <dayo> Renfield: what do you mean by "not working"
[21:05] <maxime_> Renfield: give it time, i once was like you, padawan
[21:05] <Renfield> Should I check the box that says "system setting"?
[21:05] <quibbler> baz: system-administration-system log
[21:05] <imbecilin> what's the terminal command to call ubuntu text editor?
[21:06] <maxime_> no kidding, its worth the work and patience needed
[21:06] <dayo> Schuenemann: u want just the mysql driver?
[21:06] <kinji> So how do i disable the emulate 3 button for my mouse. I checked the xorg.conf file and found nothing about to the mouse
[21:06] <IntuitiveNipple> Renfield: It might be an idea to restart NetworkManager, in case you've just confused it :)
[21:06] <Renfield> dayo: I believe I have configured the network settings from the GUI, but I have no connection.
[21:06] <maxime_> Renfield: : what are you migrating from ?
[21:06] <Renfield> maxime_: Bare metal.
[21:06] <wubrgamer> hey guys
[21:06] <maxime_> bare metal !?
[21:07] <Schuenemann> IntuitiveNipple,  I'm not sure that's what I need. I'm trying to configure mediawiki: http://rafb.net/p/sJI14n53.html
[21:07] <Renfield> maxime_: What do you mean by migrating?
[21:07] <j85wilson> Renfield: I hated Linux for the first month I used it.  And that was in c. 2000.  Things have gotten a lot better since.
[21:07] <IntuitiveNipple> Renfield: If you think you've configured it, "ifconfig" and "ip route show" should show the settings
[21:07] <Renfield> This is a new install.
[21:07] <imbecilin> what's the terminal command to call ubuntu's text editor?
[21:07] <Renfield> IntuitiveNipple: ifconfig shows up broadcast, not the IP address I added.
[21:07] <wubrgamer> I need to reinstall an OS, what is the best way for me to back up an entire ubuntu-readable partition to another ext3
[21:07] <Schuenemann> imbecilin,  gedit
[21:07] <dayo> Renfield: open a terminal and type:  ifconfig -a     then pastebin the output
[21:07] <wubrgamer> should I do it as root?
[21:07] <wubrgamer> which commadn should I enter to do so?
[21:08] <maxime_> Renfield: : migrated from vista here.. :P thats the worst scenario ever, you'll be just fine
[21:08] <wubrgamer> also, should I do it in knoppix?
[21:08] <quibbler> imbecilin: gedit
[21:08] <IntuitiveNipple> Renfield: hmm, then it isn't doing it's job... maybe worth checking /var/log/daemon.log for clues
[21:08] <Renfield> IntuitiveNipple: Ok.
[21:09] <HLM11> I get the following error when trying to test my sound...
[21:09] <HLM11> audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback.
[21:09] <n8tuser> Renfield -> remove roaming mode in the gui if there is a box checked.
[21:09] <tlchack5> hey yall, i installed kdevelop on my comp and i cant find it in the applications menu
[21:09] <G-Bleezy> Hey when you just type "xgl" at the command line should something happen??
[21:09] <Titan8990> HLM11, try:   sudo adduser USERNAME audio
[21:10] <G-Bleezy> it says command not found when i do that...but maybe that is supposed to happen?
[21:10] <Titan8990> tlchack5, try:   which kdevelop
[21:10] <galois-> Is http://www.itsecurity.com/features/ubuntu-secure-install-resource/ still up to date? Seems to be pointing to software last updated in 2005?
[21:11] <tlchack5> titan8990, what?
[21:11] <HLM11> after adding myself to the audio group the same thing happens during testing
[21:11] <G-Bleezy> hey is XGL a command?
[21:11] <KaptenRodSkagg> is there ant easy way to backup ubuntu&programs&settings to a dvd/hd or something
[21:11] <G-Bleezy> or no?
[21:11] <Renfield> IntuitiveNipple: It mentions "Could not acquire the NetworkManager service, as it is already taken", then "Failed to start the dbus manager".
[21:11] <wubrgamer> anyone? I need to backup an entire partition, how do I do so? I've installed /home on a separate partition
[21:11] <HLM11> what is OSS, because that plays the sound for me just fine, why wont alsa work?
[21:11] <wubrgamer> i have another hard disk
[21:11] <wubrgamer> how do I do this safely?
[21:12] <Renfield> wubrgamer: rsync is my suggestion.
[21:12] <IntuitiveNipple> Renfield: ouch! I suggest trying a) log-out/log-in or b) restart
[21:12] <wubrgamer> rsync?
[21:12] <quibbler> G-Bleezy: no
[21:12] <wubrgamer> what switches should I use with rsync?
[21:12] <redvamp128> HLM11:  looks like someone else is helping you-- I read about 6 pages on that issue-  I just have one question-- when you setup Ubuntu-- was this usb plugged in? or added after?
[21:12] <G-Bleezy> k
[21:12] <wubrgamer> rsync is complicated and the man page makes my simpleton brain hurt
[21:12] <Renfield> IntuitiveNipple: Ugh, is the Ubuntu, or Windows?
[21:12] <wubrgamer> lol
[21:12] <tsrk> what user does proftpd run as by default?
[21:12] <IntuitiveNipple> wubrgamer: Do you want to save an image of the entire partition, or to back-up the *files and directories* ?
[21:12] <baz> vigo, quibbler thanks thats what i was looking for
[21:13] <wubrgamer> IntuitiveNipple: just the files
[21:13] <IntuitiveNipple> Renfield: I blame the user :p
[21:13] <wubrgamer> and directories and such
[21:13] <wubrgamer> i don't need to image it
[21:13] <Renfield> IntuitiveNipple: haha!
[21:13] <wubrgamer> i don't have the SPACE to image it
[21:13] <tlchack5> where is kdevelop when you install it? i installed it on xubuntu and i cant find it. idk what version of kdevelop it is, i just typed "sudo aptitude install kdevelop" into terminal
[21:13] <IntuitiveNipple> wubrgamer: Then something like "rsync -a /source/dir/ /dest/dir/"
[21:13] <wubrgamer> -a?
[21:13] <Renfield> wubrgamer: -a == archive.
[21:14] <HLM11> it was plugged in during install.. its almost never removed
[21:14] <Titan8990> tlchack5, try:   which kdevelop
[21:14] <Mariano> there are another program to download mp3?
[21:14] <wubrgamer> and -a won't drop any direcotries
[21:14] <wubrgamer> and it'll include all hidden files and "
[21:14] <wubrgamer> "dot-files" ?
[21:14] <IntuitiveNipple> wubrgamer: read the man-page: "man rsync"
[21:15] <Schuenemann> IntuitiveNipple,  hmm... that did not solve it
[21:15] <Renfield> Woa, reboot fixed it!
[21:15] <wubrgamer> well, thanks guys
[21:15] <Titan8990> wubrgamer, you have to specifically tell it to exclude hidden files
[21:15] <Schuenemann> IntuitiveNipple,  do I have to recompile it?
[21:15] <HLM11> what is OSS, and why does that work when alsa mixer does not?
[21:15] <Renfield> That's just wrong. I've never had to reboot a Linux system before in order to get networking working. Oh, well. It is a sign of the times.
[21:15] <HLM11> im a linux newbie
[21:15] <IntuitiveNipple> Schuenemann: I'm not sure then... the error message in the pastebin indicated the solution was to change the actual build options of the package, but I can't imagine that it's being shipped without that support - lots of people would have complained by now!
[21:16] <Mariano> there are another program to download mp3?
[21:16] <rdw200169> Renfield, in the future, you can restart networking via /etc/init.d/network restart
[21:16] <n8tuser> Mariano -> wget
[21:16] <Renfield> rdw200169: I did that, and that did not help.
[21:16] <optical> Hi all -- really easy quesiton.  If I sudo to another user inside my terminal in Gnome, and try to run something like firefox, it says it can't open display :0.0 .  WHat is the correct way to run firefox as another user, or other GUI apps?  Thank you in advance!
[21:16] <rdw200169> Renfield, *networking
[21:16] <Schuenemann> IntuitiveNipple,  isn't it what is told here? http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.databases.php#faq.databases.mysql.php5
[21:16] <HLM11> !sound
[21:16] <Schuenemann> IntuitiveNipple,  sorry, here actually: http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysql.installation.php
[21:17] <Mariano> where can i found wget? :-D
[21:17] <Titan8990> Schuenemann, you should look at ubuntu specific documentation
[21:17] <Titan8990> Schuenemann, ubuntu likes to change things....
[21:17] <HLM11> grr
[21:17] <rdw200169> Renfield, unless there's a driver/kernel issue, networking can always be restarted, or fixed, via either ifup/ifdown, /etc/init.d/networking, ip, ifconfig, etc...
[21:17] <HLM11> this is not working for me, why?
[21:17] <redvamp128> !oss | HLM11
[21:18] <Mariano> n8tuser: where can i found wget? :-D
[21:18] <dayo> Marian: wget is already installed on your system. open a terminal and type:  man wget
[21:18] <Titan8990> Mariano, type:   which wget
[21:18] <martin__> wget http:ubuntu.com
[21:18] <redvamp128> HLM11:  Oss is 4Front Technologies <http://www.opensound.com/>
[21:18] <n8tuser> Mariano -> apt-get install wget
[21:18] <Mariano> titan8990: in the terminal?
[21:19] <optical> Does anyone know how I properly run GUI apps as another user ?
[21:19] <Titan8990> Mariano, always
[21:19] <HLM11> is there a way to change default soundplayer from alsamixer to OSS?
[21:19] <Titan8990> HLM11, its not a soundplayer, its a sounddriver
[21:19] <HLM11> thats what I mean... I guess
[21:19] <redvamp128> HLM11:  yes -- system- prefereces-- sound then change them to oss -
[21:19] <Titan8990> HLM11, you can blacklist the alsa modules or you can unintall them
[21:20] <Titan8990> HLM11, if I'm not mistaken, OSS is a dead technology
[21:20] <HLM11> the dead technology is working for me though -.-
[21:20] <Renfield> Oh, I spoke too soon. Although the IP address is configure, the default route is not, and /etc/resolv.conf is not properly populated.
[21:20] <Titan8990> HLM11, you should always use alsa unless you have legacy equipment not supported by alsa
[21:20] <redvamp128> HLM11:  instead of using the autodetect Titan8990 though if it works for him then he has sound
[21:21] <IntuitiveNipple> Schuenemann: The package is built with "--with-mysql=shared,/usr" amongst many others
[21:21] <HLM11> its set to alsamixer for device, the OSS is not there...
[21:21] <dayo> Renfield: see why the command line is preferrable to gui? ;-)
[21:21] <Titan8990> redvamp128, ah, well I have no idea how to turn off the automagik features of ubuntu, my distro uses alsaconf
[21:21] <elementz> how can i figure out which process is using /dev/video0 ? something seems to block access to it
[21:21] <Titan8990> HLM11, alsamixer is not a device, it is volume control for alsa devices
[21:21] <redvamp128> HLM11:  If you change them there could be listed as Open Source Sound
[21:21] <n8tuser> elementz -> lsof -i /dev/video0
[21:22] <Titan8990> HLM11, type alsamixer in the terminal or:  man alsamixer
[21:22] <elementz> thx
[21:22] <Titan8990> HLM11, for additional information
[21:22] <redvamp128> HLM11:  or Open SOund System
[21:22] <Renfield> dayo: I'm about to write a couple dozen bug reports.
[21:22] <IntuitiveNipple> Schuenemann: That error report in pastebin - was it generated by the mediawiki installer?
[21:22] <HLM11> alsamixer is all the way up
[21:22] <dayo> Renfield: really?
[21:23] <Schuenemann> IntuitiveNipple,  yes. The configure script, actually.
[21:23] <Titan8990> HLM11, have you gone through the sound troubleshooting pages?
[21:23] <tlchack5> is ruby a good place to start learning to program on the linux platform?
[21:23] <Renfield> No, I'm joking, but it would make me feel better.
[21:23] <HLM11> yes
[21:23] <redvamp128> HLM11:  Does it even list in the drop down the OSS Open sound system (that is what it is listed there for mine)
[21:23] <Titan8990> tlchack5, you should view the programming focums on the ubuntu forums
[21:23] <violento> k pasa
[21:23] <HLM11> where?
[21:23] <Titan8990> tlchack5, there is some excellent links
[21:23] <tangentcollision> violento: que pasa
[21:23] <HLM11> im a linux newbie
[21:23] <evilGUI_> for some reason I think denyhosts is locking me out of my server how can I remove my IP for the list?
[21:23] <redvamp128> HLM11:  - system- preferences - sound
[21:23] <martin__> OM
[21:23] <dayo> tlchack5: i'd recommend python   http://python.org    #python
[21:24] <HLM11> which area?
[21:24] <Titan8990> tlchack5, but personally, I recommend python with this MIT book:  http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/thinkCSpy/html/index.html
[21:24] <HLM11> apparently I have several soundports
[21:24] <Schuenemann> IntuitiveNipple,  how do I stop apache again?  If /etc/init.d/apache2 stop I still see the processes with ps aux | grep apache
[21:24] <dayo> evilGUI: /etc/hosts.deny
[21:24] <HLM11> for device?
[21:24] <tlchack5> alright, thank you =]
[21:24] <IntuitiveNipple> Schuenemann: You mean http://your_machine/wiki/config/
[21:24] <Titan8990> tlchack5, don't attempt to use the tutorial on python.org, it is written for people who are already programmers
[21:24] <tlchack5> oh
[21:24] <Schuenemann> IntuitiveNipple,  yes
[21:24] <IntuitiveNipple> Schuenemann: That is how to stop it, yes
[21:24] <violento> o.O?
[21:25] <Titan8990> tlchack5, it doesn't teach concepts and a programming way of thinking
[21:25] <violento> hey nose ingles
[21:25] <IntuitiveNipple> (sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop)
[21:25] <redvamp128> HLM11:  what I would do is move each down and click test see where one works (though if oss works ) it should work if set there.
[21:25] <Titan8990> tlchack5, and for programming in python, I recommend EMACs
[21:25] <violento> hola
[21:25] <martin__> juntate con nosotros en el canal ubuntu-es
[21:25] <violento> nose ablas ingles
[21:25] <Schuenemann> IntuitiveNipple,  sigh... it says it stopped, but the processes are still there
[21:25] <violento> k pasa
[21:25] <tangentcollision> Titan8990: what should I get if I'm trying to start out with perl, I have two perl books, but they assume I know everything about programming
[21:25] <tlchack5> ik concepts like assigning variables and etc from when i programmed (limited) in c++
[21:25] <HLM11> that is done, the test works, but sound doesnt
[21:25] <zamarax> does anyone know a way to listen to itunes shared libraries on ubuntu?
[21:25] <martin__> violento,  ubuntu-es
[21:25] <Geek`N`Proud> !es
[21:25] <kayetanadmin> burning doesnt work
[21:25] <dayo> tlchack5: what Titan8990 said. u might want to google a book called "Dive into Python"
[21:25] <kayetanadmin> whoops changin name to something132
[21:25] <IntuitiveNipple> Schuenemann: something maybe has locked the server up
[21:26] <HLM11> there is no selection for my device with anything other than alsa mixer
[21:26] <something132> changed
[21:26] <something132> :P
[21:26] <Geek`N`Proud> martin__, ubottu makes it so much quicker ;)
[21:26] <tlchack5> what is emacs?
[21:26] <something132> ok as i said burning isnt working
[21:26] <martin__> fyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
[21:26] <tlchack5> can i type the sudo command in terminal to download it?
[21:26] <Titan8990> tangentcollision, I have no experience with perl, but I do know that is syntax is very different from most languages, perl typically isn't recommended for beginners but is a very useful language
[21:26] <redvamp128> HLM11:  can you click the dropdown and take a screenshot and paste it at www.imagebin.ca -- (to do a screenshot hit the print screen key then name it)
[21:26] <zamarax> does anyone know a way to listen to itunes shared libraries on ubuntu?
[21:26] <HLM11> which dropdown do you want?
[21:27] <Titan8990> tlchack5, EMACS=  electronics, mathematics, and computer science
[21:27] <tlchack5> oh, is it  aprogram?
[21:27] <tlchack5> nvm, lol ill google it =P
[21:27] <redvamp128> HLM11:  the first one should be the one for the main sound- though I can't understand why the test works but then no sound (do you get sound at sites like youtube?)
[21:27] <Titan8990> tlchack5, it allows you to have syntax highlighting text editor in compination with a interactive python shell
[21:27] <tlchack5> oh cool
[21:27] <Titan8990> tlchack5, it should be available in the repositories
[21:27] <chazco> Hi... during some shutdown attempts there is a popup saying that an application is still running. How can I find out what it is?
[21:28] <tlchack5> alright, thank you very much =] i appreciate the help
[21:28] <Titan8990> tlchack5, np
[21:28] <something132> ok i am not sure whether it helps but the file i am burning is an AVI
[21:28] <redvamp128> HLM11:  find the volume control right click on it choose prefernces -- then set it for OSS (could be the volume is muted) though should be muted in the test-
[21:28] <dayo> zamarax: banshee, rhythmbox, Amarok, aTunes don't work?
[21:28] <Titan8990> !itunes | zamarax
[21:28] <zamarax> no, I read that itunes recently blocked a bunch of programs
[21:29] <Titan8990> zamarax, that is very possible....
[21:29] <Evilrick> I got a problem with 8.04 HH, as of a few weeks ago my removable media stopped automounting. MMC cards, USB disks, CD rom drive and SAMBA shares. I can still mount them manually with sudo mount so its not a hardware issue. If I log into Gnome as root then the automounting works. I have checked my settings in gconf-editor and the settings in my user administration tool.  When I type netstat, I see that I've got many connected ports... Please look at that http://pastebin.com/m5a2050f0 thanks in advance for any tips :)
[21:30] <zamarax> I've searched for that as well, and as far as I can tell it doesn't
[21:30] <Titan8990> zamarax, I have heard of people running windows VMs just for itunes....
[21:30] <something132> anyone helping me with my problem?
[21:30] <Titan8990> zamarax, its unfortunate, ipods are a good product....
[21:30] <Out_Cold> Evilrick, i have the same problem.... perhaps add the drive to the /etc/mtab?
[21:30] <something132> burning problem
[21:30] <benc> how do I add something to the PATH on ubuntu?
[21:30] <zamarax> ahh, damn, that is what I don't want to do, but thanks for the insight, I just didn't know if I was missing something
[21:31] <something132> people????
[21:31] <something132> ok i am going to #alsa
[21:31] <redvamp128> something132:  I had some issues with Brasero when I ran 8.10 but I installed gnomebaker and it worked like a charm-- I would start with that first.
[21:32] <something132> i think it is to do with the AVI files?
[21:32] <HLM11> http://imagebin.ca/view/pGg6vNX.html
[21:32] <HLM11> that is the dropdown requested
[21:32] <Titan8990> benc, you have to edit your:  ~/.bashrc
[21:32] <redvamp128> HLM11:  it is listed there-- OSS
[21:32] <kronicKoH> redvamp128:  gnome breaker?
[21:33] <Evilrick> Out_Cold: yeah I can do that but its not really a solution
[21:33] <Titan8990> benc, add something like this:   export PATH='$PATH:/new/path/here'
[21:33] <HLM11> audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. Device is being used by another application.
[21:33] <benc> Titan8990: will it apply only to the user editing the ./bashrc?
[21:33] <redvamp128> kronicKoH:  Gnomebaker (the cd./dvd burning utility)
[21:33] <HLM11> I get that when I attempt to test sound with just OSS
[21:33] <kronicKoH> ahh
[21:33] <benc> Titan8990: I've read something about /etc/environment
[21:33] <Titan8990> benc, correct, global path changes take place in /etc/profile
[21:33] <Evilrick> Out_Cold: the worse thing is it stops me from browsing the network
[21:33] <benc> Titan8990: /etc/profile is empty
[21:33] <HLM11> regular ALSA works though..
[21:33] <Schuenemann> Titan8990,  why doesn't this damn apache stop? :-/
[21:34] <Titan8990> benc, odd.... ubuntu changes things up from the classic linux set up
[21:34] <Out_Cold> Evilrick, yea.. i came asking for a solution a few weeks ago. but i just mount in the shell
[21:34] <Titan8990> Schuenemann, have never had the issue.... does it error when you attempt to stop it?
[21:34] <redvamp128> HLM11:  so it is just when you run wine you get that issue? or does other sounds work? I would also try the plain OSS with a test (without the MP3+)
[21:34] <Schuenemann> Titan8990,  no, it says ok
[21:34] <maria> hello
[21:34] <HLM11> audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. Device is being used by another application. with just OSS
[21:35] <benc> Titan8990: sorry it's not empty but it doesn't have something that looks like path
[21:35] <HLM11> this is with everything, right now im 'not' listening to a youtube video
[21:35] <maria> I have a very simple question that i cant seem to get answered.  How do i install a language pack for Oo
[21:35] <opr> hello, i am having alittle trouble, every time i boot into ubuntu, my screen is always 1024x768 even though i always change it to 1280x1024 in "gksudo nvidia-settings" then i always save to X config file!
[21:35] <triaddraykin> Hello. I've been having a ton of trouble getting Ubuntu to load past a certain point. I just get an rc-default error.
[21:35] <Schuenemann> Titan8990,  http://pastebin.com/m3e291fa
[21:35] <maria> i downloaded it but dont seem to know how to get Oo to use it
[21:35] <benc> Titan8990: can I just add export at the end of /etc/profile? the reason I'm asking is because I'm not sure if the path should be for root or only the user
[21:36] <redvamp128> HLM11: I haven't used OSS in a long time-- though Strange how it works in the test but not in the os...
[21:36] <HLM11> I have them all set on ALSA right now..
[21:36] <HLM11> no mp3+ since I get an error
[21:37] <maria> when i use the package installation program
[21:37] <redvamp128> HLM11:  all tests work?
[21:37] <maria> i get the "conflicts with core" error msg
[21:37] <nootrope> can anyone tell me how to have run a shell script run from a Gnome menu item?
[21:37] <redvamp128> HLM11:  Do you have onboard sound also?
[21:37] <maria> "conflicts with installed package"
[21:37] <HLM11> I dont know how to test sound capture, but yet
[21:37] <HLM11> yes*
[21:38] <opr> hello, i am having a little trouble, every time i boot into ubuntu, my screen is always 1024x768 even though i always change it to 1280x1024 in "gksudo nvidia-settings" then i always save to X config file!
[21:38] <HLM11> redvamp128: I dont know, I have alot of plugins so im assuming yes
[21:38] <evilGUI_> I mistyped my ssh password once would that make denyhosts lock me out?
[21:38] <maria> !open office
[21:38] <maria> !language packs
[21:38] <redvamp128> HLM11:  disable that in your bios and then it should work-- I think by default what is happening is those apps are trying to go through that device and not the specified one.
[21:38] <tsrk> In proftpd, what user has to be able to read my AuthUserFile?
[21:38] <Jahooty> wheres' the bootloader config?
[21:38] <nootrope> maria, try #openoffice
[21:38] <HLM11> ok, ill restart and see what happens..
[21:38] <redvamp128> HLM11:  if you have extra speakers
[21:39] <HLM11> I do..
[21:39] <kronicKoH> hey guys, i'm having trouble, id like to install kubuntu on my laptop without a cd-rom install
[21:39] <redvamp128> HLM11:  you could plug them into the onboard and see if it plays things through the onboard-=
[21:39] <kronicKoH> i have all the cds
[21:39] <maria> nootrope....funny...im one of two people in #openoffice
[21:39] <tlchack5> does anybody anything about the book "python programming for the absolute beginner"? it supposedly teaches you how to use python by guiding you through making games... which is why im going into programming
[21:39] <kronicKoH> and another ubuntu studio  machine that has cd rom
[21:39] <kronicKoH> as well as proper install
[21:39] <nootrope> sorry, maria, it's #openoffice.org
[21:39] <Schuenemann> Titan8990,  IntuitiveNipple I needed to stop as root *sigh*.
[21:40] <maria> nootrope...thanks
[21:40] <nootrope> :)
[21:40] <evilGUI_> How do I remove a IP from denyhosts?
[21:40] <IntuitiveNipple> Schuenemann: I did suggest using 'sudo' !
[21:40] <kronicKoH> Anyone wanna assist or point me in the direction of a network install or proper vmware
[21:41] <kronicKoH> i have VNC and VMWare installed on this windows tablet machine
[21:41] <Schuenemann> IntuitiveNipple,  sorry, didn't see it. Well, now it finds the driver! Thanks
[21:41] <dayo> evilGUI: check /etc/hosts.deny   grep for your IP and if it's in there, remove it
[21:41] <IntuitiveNipple> Schuenemann: Yay!
[21:41] <Schuenemann> IntuitiveNipple,  I needed php5-mysql
[21:41] <redvamp128> zcat[1]:  pm?
[21:41] <zcat[1]> sure
[21:41] <clayg> whats the command to count words in a doc?
[21:42] <evilGUI_> dayo: I removed my IP is that all I need to do to unban it?
[21:42] <IntuitiveNipple> Schuenemann: I thought you might, but when  I searched the package archive, I got no hits that matched that!
[21:42] <dayo> evilGUI: yes, i think so
[21:42] <IntuitiveNipple> Schuenemann: So I assumed I'd mis-remembered
[21:43] <bigbrovar> .
[21:43] <dayo> evilGUI: you might need to restart denyhosts
[21:43] <kronicKoH> ANY VMWare' ers in here?
[21:43] <Geek`N`Proud> kronicKoH, me sort of
[21:44] <Azath> hello
[21:44] <kronicKoH> Geek-N:
[21:44] <HLM11> you people are too smart for me, needed to disable the legacy device in my bios and now it works flawlessly
[21:44] <quibbler> kronicKoH:  try #vnware
[21:44] <dayo> !welcome | Azath
[21:44] <quibbler> *vmware
[21:44] <kronicKoH> Geek-N: When I go to create a virtual machine, theres no room on regular, unless I have my terrabyte external drive plugged in
[21:44] <kronicKoH> should i partition?
[21:48] <opr> hello, i am having a little trouble, every time i boot into ubuntu, my screen is always 1024x768 even though i always change it to 1280x1024 in "gksudo nvidia-settings" then i always save to X config file!
[21:49] <baz> whats a nice monospace font that comes with ubuntu?

[21:49] <ubuntu__> can someone please help ,me ? i installed a secondary windows copy for gaming purposes and now i can't boot my ubuntu ... i was wandering if the LIVE cd has a tool i can use to fix the mbr or the super grub disc if need be ?
[21:50] <qedx> @baz:  I don't think there's any that's nice. I usually end up downloading inconsolata
[21:50] <evilGUI_> What's this mean? pam_env(sshd:setcred): Unable to open env file: /etc/default/locale: No such file or directory
[21:50] <dayo> !grub | ubuntu__
[21:50] <evilGUI_> I saw that in my ssh logs
[21:51] <baz> qedx, is that available thru apt/
[21:51] <ubuntu__> dayo: thanks very much ;)
[21:51] <dayo> ubuntu__: u're welcome :-)
[21:52] <Jahooty> what partition manager does ubuntu use?
[21:52] <qedx> baz: yes
[21:52] <mrcoodles> how do i start mysql server ?
[21:52] <baz> Jahooty, gparted
[21:52] <Geek`N`Proud> ubuntu__, grub-install is a neat tool; if you ever get totally stuck try that command =]
[21:52] <Jahooty> command not found
[21:53] <this_justy_guy> Jahooty: fdisk
[21:53] <tlchack5> what channel should i be in to get help with python?
[21:53] <Geek`N`Proud> Jahooty, sudo apt-get install gparted
[21:54] <Geek`N`Proud> even on a livecd it should work
[21:54] <Geek`N`Proud> tlchack5, try  #python or ##python
[21:54] <dayo> tlchak5: #python
[21:54] <dayo> tlchack5: #python
[21:54] <tlchack5> thank you
[21:54] <dayo> tlchack5: u're welcome :-)
[21:55] <tlchack5> dayu: it says i need to be identified to join that channel

[21:56] <dayo> tlchack5: u need to register your nick
[21:57] <ha1331> Having problems with hp proliant ML110 G5. I have system installed on single disk and additionaly have 2xdisks on raid array. Would like to partition and format the array, but cannot find the array. /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc are present but no /dev/md* .
[21:59] <mzz> I guess this is only tangentially on-topic, but does someone remember if windows 2000 normally overwrites grub?
[22:00] <baz> what are some other nice monospace fonts i should try installing?
[22:00] <dayo> !grub | mzz
[22:00] <dayo> mzz: yes it will
[22:00] <mzz> ty
[22:00] <mzz> (I know how to deal if it does, just wanted to know if I had to make sure I had something bootable around)
[22:01] <dayo> mzz: windows always overwrites grub
[22:01] <mzz> just proves my memory still sucks (I thought I installed it once without that happening)
[22:01] <mzz> oh well
[22:03] <alwayssleepy> hi does any one have a how to on settin up compizfusion xgl with VM 6.5?
[22:03] <alwayssleepy> im using 8.10
[22:03] <opr> guys, is there a way i can disable app armor when compiling with g++ ?
[22:03] <Renfield> Ok, this is very weird. I appears that networking is not configured until after I log in. Is this correct?
[22:04] <baz> is there a way tp apt-cache search with wildcards? Like *ttf*fixed*
[22:04] <gajop_> Renfield: I guess it depends
[22:04] <nickrud> Renfield, by default,yes
[22:04] <Renfield> Oh?
[22:04] <mzz> opr: *might* be -fdisable-stack-protector
[22:04] <gajop_> Renfield: if you're using the network manager, probably, otherwise, not so sure
[22:04] <opr> mzz, i'll try it
[22:04] <Aquina> hy guyz!
[22:05] <mzz> opr: usually if that "helps" the thing you're compiling is buggy though
[22:05] <nickrud> Renfield, if you're using network manager, yes, if not you can set up on boot connectivity
[22:05] <Renfield> Ok, I'm going to stop using the network manager. I'd like the computer to bind to my NIS domain, so that I can log in as somone on that domain, and not as a local user.
[22:05] <opr> mzz, im just making a backdoor :)
[22:06] <mzz> opr: and it's actually -fno-stack-protector (assuming apparmor is what I think it is)
[22:06] <Renfield> I thought this network manager was just a nice GUI configurator for the underlying networking files, not some other thing entirely.
[22:06] <redline5653> can somebody please help me get my wireless working properly please
[22:06] <robert_zaccour> my tv tuner/video capture won't work with justin.tv
[22:07] <robert_zaccour> i installed the hardware driver with ndisgtk, but still not working
[22:07] <porter1> robert, does justin.tv use flash
[22:07] <robert_zaccour> yes
[22:08] <robert_zaccour> is there a good broadcast site like justin.tv that i can use my tv tuner on?
[22:08] <gump^> want a torrent client wich one is available @apt-get
[22:08] <gump^> ?
[22:09] <Renfield> azureus
[22:09] <itachi> i'd say.. all of them?
[22:09] <porter1> gump^, transmission is installed by default. There's also delugo
[22:09] <porter1> deluge*
[22:09] <robert_zaccour> whats a good website for tv tuner broadcasting?
[22:09] <gump^> transmission not installed by default..
[22:09] <porter1> Which is similar to utorrent
[22:09] <Renfield> Actually, I'm guessing. I can't believe it isn't, though.
[22:09] <gump^> not on my os
[22:10] <itachi> rtorrent is nice too
[22:10] <gordonjcp> gump^: transmission is installed by default in ubuntu
[22:10] <gump^> i will try azureus, thnx Renfield
[22:10] <porter1> azureus is bloated IMO
[22:10] <redline5653> is anyone good with wireless network setups?
[22:10] <Renfield> porter1: Yea, I think you are right.
[22:10] <gump^> gordonjcp: that i know. i use acer one with kuki dist
[22:10] <porter1> It's written in Java :P
[22:11] <baz> is there a way to see/manage all installed FONTS
[22:11] <Renfield> Oh, Acer One is a hot little netbook.
[22:11] <Renfield> I got introduced just yesterday.
[22:11] <HowardNabe> does flashplayer work with the 64 bit version of Ubuntu
[22:11] <ha1331> Should raid array appear as /dev/md or is that just for software raids only?
[22:11] <this_justy_guy> Vuze (formerly Azureus) is way too much fat for a usable bittorrent client use Transmission.
[22:11] <porter1> HowardNabe, yes, but it can have some instability issues
[22:11] <jeebster> Yeah, vuze somehow became completely over...bloated
[22:12] <baz> HowardNabe, yeah, i have it working, but its a tiny bit buggy in that sometimes after lots of use i have to restart firefox
[22:12] <HowardNabe> I can not get it to work
[22:12] <mzz> gump^: or rtorrent if you like text-based apps
[22:12] <jeebster> Didn't expect Azureus to become like that :3
[22:12] <this_justy_guy> HowardNabe: There's a speical 64-bit build of flash at Adobe's lab site that you can use.
[22:12] <porter1> IF you want something that's slightly better than transmisson, though, try deluge!
[22:12] <HowardNabe> Thanks
[22:12] <gump^> only 9" lcd here =) i cant cath up! =) wich torrent is the one i shall use.. not text-based
[22:12] <gump^> ?
[22:12] <HowardNabe> Adobe's lab web site
[22:12] <mzz> gump^: try them all and pick the one you like most :)
[22:12] <ha1331> the controller is Intel Corporation 82801 SATA RAID
[22:12] <musikgoat|main> +1 porter1, deluge is actually a pretty darn good client
[22:13] <porter1> It's basically uTorrent
[22:13] <alien> guys, I have a long text file with <a href=http://www.malwaredomainlist.com/mdl.php?search=doc9c.cn>doc9c.cn</a><br><a href=http://ww how do I extract all domains and put them into another file in ubuntu CLI ?
[22:13] <gump^> mzz: guess i could but i am like beta testing for now
[22:13] <gump^> =)
[22:13] <GodfatherofEire> Is there any utility for making a multi-boot CD? Such as loading Gparted, DBAN, etc. on one CD?
[22:13] <Geek`N`Proud> GodFather, DBAN can be emulated
[22:13] <gump^> anyway thanx
[22:14] <Geek`N`Proud> and a lot of liveCDs have gparted these days
[22:14] <MarkJones> Im trying to get more dependent on the command line so can anyone say what command I use to list what /dev/xxx mount points are on my system.Know what I mean?
[22:14] <this_justy_guy> HowardNabe: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html  remember that the 64-bit version is considered Alpha version.
[22:14] <Geek`N`Proud> dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda # Fill hard disk with all zeroes
[22:14] <GodfatherofEire> Geek`N`Proud, I mean like, for a back-up Emergency CD
[22:14] <robert_zaccour> whats a good website for tv tuner broadcasting?
[22:14] <nightrid3r> do i need special software to mount mdf (alcohol120%) files ?
[22:14] <HowardNabe> Thanks again
[22:14] <Geek`N`Proud> GodfatherofEire, , yeah you can use dd to do what DBAN does
[22:14] <this_justy_guy> HowardNabe: If you really need Flash for more that YouTube and some simple action script then use a 32-bit browser.
[22:14] <Geek`N`Proud> I think knoppix has the rest
[22:15] <GodfatherofEire> I.e., if I needed to diagnose a system, I'd be using Hiren's Boot CD, Gparted, and DBAN
[22:15] <Geek`N`Proud> trouble with DBAN is it relies on an older kernel
[22:15] <robert_zaccour> whats a good website for tv tuner broadcasting?
[22:15] <HowardNabe> will the 32 bit browser run on 64 bit Linux?
[22:15] <musikgoat|main> HowardNabe: yes
[22:15] <this_justy_guy> HowardNabe: Yeah
[22:15] <Geek`N`Proud> HowardNabe, 32bit and 64bit are compatible
[22:15] <HowardNabe> OK well Perhaps I will try that first
[22:16] <this_justy_guy> HowardNabe: You'll need to add the 32-bit libs.
[22:16] <Geek`N`Proud> ia32-libs will let you use 32-bit apps
[22:16] <redline5653> please can someone help me
[22:16] <zcat[1]> Ummmmm hirens is mostly warez, perhaps you should use UBCD instead?
[22:16] <Geek`N`Proud> redline5653, how can we help you?
[22:16] <porter1> redline, just ask
[22:17] <GodfatherofEire> Geek`N`Proud, I.e., if I needed to diagnose a system, I'd be using Hiren's Boot CD, Gparted, and DBAN, and anythin else I can think of that would be helpful
[22:17] <this_justy_guy> HowardNabe: The 63-bit flash player works for YouTube and most sites I've been to but there has been one or two so far that have cause firefox to crash.
[22:17] <this_justy_guy> **63-bit
[22:17] <redline5653> i need someone to help me connect to my wireless network it wont accept the key at all
[22:17] <this_justy_guy> **64-bit  Hard to type with cat in lap.
[22:17] <Geek`N`Proud> GodfatherofEire, try using knoppix too
[22:17] <porter1> :]
[22:17] <Geek`N`Proud> knoppix is a full OS on a livecd
[22:17] <Geek`N`Proud> it is great for detecting hardware
[22:18] <GodfatherofEire> Geek`N`Proud, I know that, but I mean I need BIOS diagnosic utils as well
[22:18] <zcat[1]> Ultimate Boot CD and INSERT are generally what I use
[22:18] <Geek`N`Proud> you boot it and lspci && lsusb shows a lot
[22:18] <Geek`N`Proud> GodFatherofEire, look on the PhoenixBIOS site
[22:18] <GodfatherofEire> Alright
[22:18] <zcat[1]> there's a lot of pirated stuff on hirens which makes me feel 'dirty' using it
[22:18] <alwayssleepy> Is it not possible to run compiz in a linux guest on VM? b/c opengl is still not supported?
[22:18] <GodfatherofEire> I have no such reservations
[22:19] <fatbrain> i installed a new .so in my lib folder, what's the ld command to "refresh"?
[22:19] <napsy> Hello. I've reinstalled my Ubuntu system. The installation did not recognise my encrypted /home partition so I leaved it untouched and proceed with the installation. Now the system is installed but I don't know how to configure it to use my encrypted home. Please help.
[22:19] <nightrid3r> fatbrain ldconfig
[22:19] <dmulholland> hey, I want to launch an application and send the output to a text file, how can i do it?
[22:19] <fatbrain> nightrid3r: ah, thanks a bunch
[22:19] <erUSUL> dmulholland: app > text_file
[22:20] <naxa> 1) I've got Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01) on 8.10 and no sound.
[22:20] <naxa> (lspci)
[22:20] <keystr0k> still trying to get xvidcap or istanbul or recordmydesktop to work... could my ATI drivers be causing problems? in xvidcap I always max out the fps and it dies... ONE time it worked at 10fps. I have a dedicated 256MB gfx card... and a sufficient processor (dual core intel).  Any ideas? Should I try removing the ATI proprietary drivers?
[22:21] <rdw200169> naxa, is it a relatively new motherboard... like a home-build?
[22:21] <keystr0k> I am using compiz, but I've tried these apps without compiz enabled and it's the same prob.
[22:21] <GodfatherofEire> Well, even then is there any way to have multiple bootables on one CD? Kind of like GRUB, only with CD's instead of HDDs?
[22:21] <Thokas> Hey guys, when I try to run or install Ubuntu, my monitor reads 'out of range.'
[22:21] <Thokas> How can I fix this?
[22:22] <ianm_> can anyone recommend games that work well with a wacom tablet?
[22:22] <Jahooty> is there a GUI for editing grub in ubuntu?
[22:22] <naxa> rdw200169, no, it is an older dell, gx-260 to be preciese
[22:22] <naxa> rdw200169, no modifications made. maybe some config error but i don't know how to start.
[22:23] <dmulholland> erUSUL: what if im trying to do - time app > textfile - will that work?
[22:23] <rdw200169> naxa, hmm... i don't know then... ubuntu usually does *really* well w/AC'97 audio controllers
[22:23] <Douglas_Nessmith> Question, I have a PC that crashed, I am used LiveCD to put Linux onto the system so that I can take my family pictures off of the hard drive.  I am unable to mount the drive though.  Any place to find support on this topic.  I found a place on the internet describing it but I cant get it to work. http://www.technixupdate.com/mount-ntfs-fat32-windows-drive-in-ubuntu/
[22:23] <rdw200169> naxa, the reason i asked is because many motherboards have both AC'97 and Digital Audio, and you can switch what kind it uses in the BIOS
[22:23] <erUSUL> dmulholland: you want the output of time or the output of app in the log file
[22:23] <erUSUL> ?
[22:24] <dmulholland> erUSUL: the output of time mainly - the app doesnt output anything :)
[22:24] <naxa> rdw200169, i see... dunno if that's the case. full story is that i had this ubuntu as 7.10 on a hp laptop. laptop dead but hdd saved along with ubuntu. I just started from usb and updated to ->8.04->8.10 and now sound is gone. unfortunately i don't know if it worked on the new computer in the first hand... i said to the installer to overwrite everything.
[22:24] <Royall> Is it possible to give the Windows key a function in Ubuntu?
[22:25] <itachi> Royall, absolutley.
[22:25] <naxa> rdw200169, i mean i actually *updated*, not reinstalled, with the alternate cd, and said to overwrite menu.lst blacklist and etc.
[22:25] <rdw200169> naxa, ahhh,  i see!
[22:25] <Royall> itachi: how would I give the Windows key a function in Ubuntu?
[22:25] <naxa> rdw200169, now i think maybe this is somehow a config issue, but i dont know how.
[22:25] <aykutcan> hi all !!
[22:25] <rdw200169> naxa, my experience has been that there are some scripts that run at some point during the installation that 'sets' all the config files for hardward
[22:25] <rdw200169> naxa, hardware**
[22:26] <nightrid3r> do i need special software to mount mdf (alcohol120%) files ?
[22:26] <rdw200169> naxa, you could try a dpkg-reconfigure on alsa...
[22:26] <kronicKoH> HI aykutcan
[22:26] <napsy> Hello. I've reinstalled my Ubuntu system. The installation did not recognise my encrypted /home partition so I leaved it untouched and proceed with the installation. Now the system is installed but I don't know how to configure it to use my encrypted home. Please help.
[22:26] <naxa> rdw200169, ok thanks, i will do that now. just a minute...
[22:26] <kronicKoH> !welcome | aykutcan
[22:26] <rdw200169> naxa, and see if you can't get ubuntu to retry setting up the audio, because it thinks, according to the alsa config files, that its audio card is from the laptop
[22:26] <aykutcan> thanks
[22:27] <rdw200169> naxa, and, generally, updates won't redetect hardware
[22:27] <mohan43u> aykutcan: Don't trust them .. they are bots..
[22:27] <rdw200169> naxa, the config file replacement is only for situations when you *change* config files, and the installer wants to update them for a new version
[22:27] <aykutcan> :) i know
[22:27] <dtchen> naxa: download http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh, save it to your Desktop, run it as a bash script in a terminal, and tell me the url the script generates
[22:27] <naxa> dtchen, ok one minute
[22:28] <naxa> rdw200169, i did sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base and alsa-utils... should i restart x or something? (after i finished alsa info)
[22:28] <rdw200169> naxa, you can try: /etc/init.d/alsa restart
[22:28] <RussellAlan> haha
[22:28] <rdw200169> naxa, alsa-utils
[22:29] <dmulholland> erUSUL: the output of time mainly - the app doesnt output anything :)
[22:29] <Don_Miguel> Douglas_Nessmith, Do you have a USB stick that you can use to save those files ?  I think the Live CD can do that for you .. but the CD system is not is, iirc, actually mounted
[22:29] <user___> hello
[22:30] <naxa> rdw200169, dtchen sound problem is solved, thank you for your help!!! :) i've got another problem. :) where can i check if my graphic card supports opengl? now ubuntu says me that no opengl. the card is ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF
[22:30] <dmulholland> `
[22:30] <rdw200169> naxa, wow, that's an old card!
[22:31] <tlchack5> hey, i have my computer running linux hooked up to the internet via a hub plugged into my laptops wifi card via a crossover cable. is there a way to share the printer my laptop (running vista) has with my computer running linux?
[22:31] <naxa> rdw200169, it was hard to find something that fits in this very compact house
[22:31] <naxa> rdw200169, this actually came with another dell
[22:32] <erUSUL> dmulholland: ok time can do it... use "time -o log.txt program"
[22:33] <naxa> rdw200169, i think this card seems quite lame. :)
[22:33] <RussellAlan> Hey ALL:
[22:33] <RussellAlan> aanyone wanna do some research on kubuntu running on a TC4400
[22:33] <dmulholland> erUSUL: thanks, didnt think of looking for that, should have

[22:33] <naxa> rdw200169, ok thank you! :)
[22:33] <linux_guy> can you change the size of the icons on the desktop?  the pdf is HUGE..
[22:33] <eeheh> Can anyone dare to ask some questions? *Like can I ask some auestions about Ubuntu?
[22:33] <linux_guy> !ask | eeheh
[22:34] <flint_> Anybody got a clue how to compile the source from a tomtom to make a Ubuntu executable?
[22:34] <flint_> eeheh, yea got a good question?
[22:34] <RussellAlan> flint_:  are you using the tomtom source for gps on the pc?
[22:35] <dmulholland> erUSUL: time -o not working...

[22:36] <porter1> gidna, try awn
[22:37] <sigjuice> I just installed ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop.  It is running fine but I'd like to tweak some xorg settings.
[22:37] <rdw200169> naxa, http://www.x.org/wiki/r128
[22:37] <kane77> strange things are happening here.. yesterday and day before all of sudden gnome restarted itself, and also yesterday and now my theme got replaced by other theme... can anyone help me find cause for this behavior?
[22:37] <naxa> rdw200169, in this forum, troutrou says that his ubuntu managed to enable 3d on this card. well.
[22:37] <erUSUL> dmulholland: sometimes shells s**k
[22:37] <dmulholland> erUSUL: that's a good idea, will have a look
[22:37] <sigjuice> for some reason my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is empty
[22:37] <rdw200169> naxa, that's the driver that will work, i think
[22:37] <dmulholland> erUSUL: yeah /usr/bin/time is working, time to add an alias :D
[22:37] <naxa> rdw200169, how can i change my driver?
[22:37] <porter1> gidna, http://awn-project.org/
[22:38] <eeheh> You see, I installed Ubuntu *forgot version* a long time ago, and set it on being dual/boot. However a virus came around for windows, and while I was on windows, apprently fiddled around with ubuntu, because I could not start it anymore. Anyways, I got rid of the virus and the pc went good, until today, the windows just freezed at the login thingy, and the only way to acces it (Like i\m doing now,| Is secure mode. Anyways, so I formatted the ol
[22:38] <notyourdaddy> #join ubuntuusers
[22:38] <rdw200169> naxa, 8.10, right?
[22:38] <naxa> rdw200169, right - that's why i ask
[22:38] <eeheh> write stuff, but I got nothing out of that. So I went and restarted my pc and went into safe mode to search for help, and here I am.
[22:38] <naxa> rdw200169, i heard that there is something new with xorg lately in this field... i dunno if it autodetects or what.
[22:38] <rdw200169> naxa, chances are, there isn't even a Xorg.conf file, but since you've done some upgrades, it may still be around
[22:38] <porter1> eeheh, you should do a dist-upgrade
[22:38] <Robingraves> Can anyone tell me what the command is to see if my windows hard drive is hd1,0 or something else ?
[22:39] <eeheh> ?
[22:39] <naxa> rdw200169, should i delete instance of xorg.conf
[22:39] <naxa> ?
[22:39] <gidna> porter1 have I to be in 3d mode?
[22:39] <linux_guy> eeheh, ive found the easiest answer to windows virus problems to be making the switch to ubuntu =)
[22:39] <rdw200169> naxa, but, honestly, i have to stop here, b/c i'm still on 8.04
[22:39] <dmulholland> erUSUL: thanks for the help
[22:39] <durt> sigjuice: xorg auto-configs now, but xorg.conf is still read put your old one there if auto-config doesn't work perfectly
[22:39] <erUSUL> dmulholland: no problem
[22:39] <porter1> gidna, what do you mean?
[22:39] <Geek`N`Proud> linux_guy, need some malware to make you feel at home? :P
[22:39] <rdw200169> naxa, you will probably need it!  if it's there, it uses it, if it's not, it auto-detects
[22:39] <sparr> [how] can I use an ubuntu CD image on a bootable USB drive?
[22:39] <NFischer> Robingraves sudo blkid
[22:39] <porter1> gidna, I don't think it uses opengl, but I,'m not sure
[22:40] <porter1> You'll just have to try and find out
[22:40] <Robingraves> NFischer: Thankyou
[22:40] <naxa> rdw200169, then i should write the driver name there as usual?
[22:40] <linux_guy> Geek`N`Proud, i searched for a whole day looking for antivirus, antispyware /malware protection for ubuntu
[22:40] <eeheh> Whoa, the virus itself was pretty obibious, a pink looking squid. Besides i\m not asking for some holy grale to completly rid of windows forever, I\m just wondering how I should do to get ubuntu working. And get rid of the dual boot wich I installed long time ago.
[22:40] <flint_> RussellAlan you got it in one.  I am trying to compile the source for Markus Hoffmann's log2itn
[22:40] <linux_guy> couldnt believe the lack of availability.... then i realized
[22:40] <porter1> eeheh, blow it all away and install ubuntu again
[22:40] <eeheh> So I can install it normally *I have ubuntu on a dvd.
[22:40] <user___> a pink squid virus?
[22:41] <eeheh> smss.exe, a creepy bastards.
[22:41] <linux_guy> eeheh, a pink squid?
[22:41] <rdw200169> naxa, yes, make sure you have the driver installed: xserver-xorg-video-ati
[22:41] <TruthTaco> could someone tell me how to get my mycomputer icon on the desktop?
[22:41] <eeheh> Yhe it had that as a icon.
[22:41] <linux_guy> *eeheh has been smoking something with spongebob
[22:41] <rdw200169> TruthTaco, the easiest way to do that is using ubuntu-tweak
[22:41] <sigjuice> durt: I can't seem to set a resolution larger than 800x600 and glxinfo reports AGP 1x instead of 2x
[22:41] <TruthTaco> ah thanks
[22:41] <eeheh> So how I can format the Ubuntu partion, and get rid of the dual boot so I can install it |normally|
[22:41] <eeheh> ?
[22:41] <durt> sigjuice: card?
[22:41] <Geek`N`Proud> linux_guy, antivir is available with dazuko for on-access scanning
[22:42] <linux_guy> eeheh, you need to work on your mbr right?
[22:42] <rdw200169> eeheh, explain more of your situation and what you want to do, please
[22:42] <porter1> eeheh, when you instal, it will allow you to
[22:42] <naxa> rdw200169, i thought i need r128 ??
[22:42] <linux_guy> Geek`N`Proud, whats the point?
[22:42] <Geek`N`Proud> linux_guy: there IS a McAfee VirusScan for Linux too
[22:42] <kane77> yesterday and day before all of sudden gnome restarted itself, and yesterday and now my theme got replaced by other theme... can anyone help me find cause for this behavior?
[22:42] <rdw200169> naxa, yeah, that's where the driver is
[22:42] <Aquina> dazuko is a bit a bitch when it comes to actually using it.
[22:42] <linux_guy> Geek`N`Proud, all those scan for windows viruses
[22:42] <Geek`N`Proud> linux_guy, to protect against viruses getting in your Wine? :P
[22:42] <Aquina> Always recompile the kernel to ensure it really works.
[22:42] <naxa> rdw200169, i have "xserver-xorg-video-ati" and the same with "-video-r128"
[22:43] <Aquina> Oh and btw. conflikting modules an the like all the way.
[22:43] <linux_guy> lets get eeheh fixed up, im interested in his problem
[22:43] <rdw200169> naxa, well, that's where it is on 8.04... but just make you have it first ;)
[22:43] <methodmarvel> gotta love 8.04
[22:43] <sigjuice> durt: according to lspci, ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x
[22:43] <linux_guy> eeheh, do you want an all ubuntu machine?  all windows? dual boot? vmware?  how do you want to do it?
[22:43] <naxa> rdw200169, :)
[22:43] <eeheh> First I had windows. And a linux/obbsesive friend got my to install ubuntu. So I tried it. Ran it for a day and then tought. Na I\ll play my games. Now tonight, my windows got it\s head scrambled, like it hada injection of Opium or something. So it freezes at when I try to login, I get to see the icons and all that shit.
[22:43] <rdw200169> methodmarvel, yeah, but i can't have the gnome-do dock for 0.8 :(
[22:44] <eeheh> So I tought, hey let\s start ubuntu again!
[22:44] <methodmarvel> yeah - rwd - I was trying to install that for AGES
[22:44] <methodmarvel> couldn't figure it out
[22:44] <linux_guy> does ubuntu work?
[22:44] <methodmarvel> nope
[22:44] <eeheh> So I tried to start it, but apprently after I had got that smss.exe virus away from windows, my Ubuntu got suckzord, it coulnd\t find files etc when I tried to boot it.  So I went and donwloaded ubuntu.
[22:44] <Aquina> eekek the problem is either a bootloder specific one or your NTFS/FAT32 drive for Win got messed up.
[22:45] <gleyve> I have some problem with sinaptyc..anyone could help me? some dependecies problems
[22:45] <eeheh> And formatted my G drive.
[22:45] <Aquina> normally Win can fix this on boot up with chkdsk
[22:45] <eeheh> Now, the dual boot was still left in there.
[22:45] <rdw200169> naxa, i have all kinds of crazy stuff in my xorg.conf, and when i upgrade (one day) i'm gonna keep it, b/c i have dual monitors etc...
[22:45] <naxa> rdw200169, does it make sense if i write this line into the otherwise almost empty 'section "Device"': Driver "r128"?
[22:45] <eeheh> And I installed ubuntu later on on my G drive again, and restarted the comp.
[22:45] <naxa> rdw200169, fortunately this thing makes backups of itself
[22:45] <flint_> eeheh, how many drives you got in this machine?
[22:45] <naxa> at least for me
[22:46] <eeheh> Tried to start windows normally, as usual it hang up right at the spot, so I tried to go into ubuntu tru the Dual boot, wich I saw a ubuntu loading screen, you know the orange looking loader.
[22:46] <eeheh> I got 2 Hdd.
[22:46] <linux_guy> eeheh, what do you want to do?  how do you want to set it up?  do you want to dual boot still?
[22:46] <rdw200169> naxa, never *ever* trust that, make your own backups of what works well!  (that's been my motto, and its saved me several upon several times)
[22:46] <Aquina> eeheh I recommend you to use Ubuntu ONLY with seperated ext3 "partitions". Get rid of everything else. A fresh install will help.
[22:46] <flint_> eeheh, did you make a standard workstation boot CD?
[22:46] <naxa> rdw200169, that's a _very_ good motto.
[22:46] <eeheh> I got Ubuntu 8.10 burned to a dvd disk.
[22:46] <linux_guy> eeheh, i agree with aquina
[22:47] <naxa> rdw200169, i was dead a couple of times 'couse i didn't follow that :)
[22:47] <linux_guy> eeheh, are you pretty new to gnu/linux/ubuntu?
[22:47] <eeheh> Yes.
[22:47] <Aquina> seems so :-)
[22:47] <naxa> rdw200169, this should make you become practiced in configuring, however...
[22:47] <naxa> rdw200169, this is only in theory :)
[22:47] <naxa> rdw200169, hold on a sec, now I'll try and restart xorg
[22:47] <Renfield> Has anyone here installed openGEU?
[22:48] <eeheh> I just wanna remove that bitchy dual boot, so I can boot the dvd disk, install ubuntu to that partion, then make it set a new dual boot.
[22:48] <linux_guy> do yourself a favor if you are serious about it and get this FREE ebook download
[22:48] <linux_guy> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/free-download-ubuntu-pocket-guide-and-reference.html
[22:48] <mikeshollen> A few days ago I wrote a few lines of code to make my wireless driver and I pasted them into a file, which I believe was rclocal
[22:48] <mikeshollen> I can't remember what directory that was in
[22:48] <mikeshollen> And now my wireless card isn't starting on boot
[22:48] <Aquina> eeheh When booting from that DVD you created choose the Live CD option (boot Ubuntu) then klick on the installer icon on the desktop after it has sucessfully loaded.
[22:48] <naxa> rdw200169, in any case, if i never return, thank you for your help - you we're a great friend. see you - later. ;)
[22:48] <mikeshollen> Can someone tell me how to get back there to those startup files
[22:48] <rdw200169> naxa, ah, good luck!
[22:48] <flint_> eeheh, the ticket here is to do a manual partition.  The DVD boots you into Ubuntu?
[22:48] <linux_guy> mikeshollen, what version?
[22:48] <mikeshollen> 8.04
[22:48] <Imaginativeone> how do I connect my xp machine to an ubuntu share via samba?
[22:49] <naxa> rdw200169, I will be BACK! :)
[22:49] <rdw200169> naxa, and if its any consolation, x.org now has a very reliable safe start mode-thing
[22:49] <Aquina> eeheh you can boot from DVD no matter what's on your HDD's
[22:49] <rdw200169> naxa, so if xorg.conf fails, it goes to safe mode, which is just the vesa driver
[22:49] <eeheh> I uninstalled ubuntu, now. Tru WIndows secure mode, how do I remove Dual boot?
[22:49] <eeheh> So it becomes Normal.
[22:49] <Aquina> Go into your BIOS and select a CD-ROM for boot. Or try pressing F11 or something like that on system startup
[22:49] <erUSUL> eeheh: fixmbr from recovery mode of windows
[22:49] <eeheh> mbr is what?
[22:49] <linux_guy> master boot record
[22:49] <Aquina> maste boot record
[22:50] <flint_> eeheh, if you want to go back to a total window boot fdisk /fixmbr
[22:50] <erUSUL> eeheh: ask in ##windows for more info
[22:50] <linux_guy> GL in that chan
[22:50] <eeheh> Is that the one thing that holding the somewhat looking corrupted dual boot?
[22:50] <naxa> rdw200169, oh, i think i've seen that a couple of times. i also saw a few times when even that wasn't enough safe. poor xorg. :)
[22:50] <Aquina> eeheh I think though you've got more probs than mbr.
[22:50] <naxa> rdw200169, ok, i'll restart now. bye.
[22:50] <ccchatzilla> How can I display the result of a terminal command straight in the Gnome Panel?
[22:50] <linux_guy> eeheh, get that pdf for reference and dont forget to use the forum
[22:51] <rdw200169> ccchatzilla, hmm,,, that's an interesting question, you could try something with libnotify + python
[22:51] <Stelbent> anyone awake?
[22:51] <Aquina> nos, eeheh the mbr is a tiny part on your hdd which takes care of operating system boot in some way. Use fasbot or metager or cuil to search for an article discussin' that matter.
[22:51] <flint_> eeheh, Does the windows partition work when you hit <esc> and select the windows boot selection?
[22:51]  * Aquina ,Stelbent! :-)
[22:52] <rdw200169> ccchatzilla, libnotify has a dbus instance you can use to make popups show up on you display
[22:52] <gidna> Warning: Screen isn't composited. Please run compiz (-fusion) or another compositing manager.
[22:52] <eeheh> When I choose to boot Windows, it loads, I get to login screen, I login, la la la, sloooow loading, I get to my detoskop with the icons. And then it just loads nearly to nothing, Only allowing me to click on icons and move my mouse.
[22:52] <gidna> I can't run awn
[22:52] <gidna> what have I to do?
[22:52] <rdw200169> ccchatzilla, like that annoying 'your system has updates available' popup
[22:52] <Stelbent> I made som updates yesterday, now I cant get my wifi working. Runing Intrepid Ibex on Acer aspire one
[22:52] <eeheh> Sometimes I don\t even get as far as it starts loading from when I login.
[22:53] <flint_> eeheh, can you boot your windows CD?
[22:53] <Aquina> eeheh this i probably a M$ Windows spec. problem then.
[22:53] <eeheh> Here\s the big big problem. I lost my windows cd.
[22:53] <eeheh> He he he.
[22:53] <Aquina> *lol*
[22:53] <Stelbent>  wifi%d: unable to attach hardware: 'Hardware revision not supported' (HAL status 13)
[22:53] <Thokas> I can see that being a bit of a problem, yeah.
[22:53] <Stelbent> anyone?
[22:53] <Aquina> Ok I'm a bad girl -- I know"
[22:54] <Aquina> What's up Stelbent?
[22:54] <carpii> can anyone recommend a good color picker for web developers?
[22:54] <linux_guy> eeheh, why keep windows anyway?
[22:54] <Aquina> How's the weather in Norway?
[22:54] <flint_> eeheh, what version did you "loose"?
[22:54] <Stelbent> Aquina, not too good :)
[22:54] <Aquina> :-)
[22:54] <Myrtti> !offtopic | Aquina
[22:54] <Stelbent> Aquina, -20c and lots of snow =)
[22:54] <Andry_Afk> hi guys, I'm looking for a tool to put the live CD image into a USB Drive.  cany anybody help me?
[22:55] <kapace_laptop> hello, is there a way to list all display drivers installed?
[22:55] <Aquina> Uiii...
[22:55] <eeheh> Because I wanna play Counter/strike, be able to do my VB homework I get from school. Play alot of steam games, and use windows movie maker.
[22:55] <rdw200169> kapace_laptop,  dpkg --get-selections xserver-xorg-video*
[22:55] <tim_> hi. i want to back up my MBR. which device should i use?
[22:55] <kapace_laptop> rdw200169, thanks
[22:55] <flint_> eeheh, again, what windows version did you "loose"?
[22:56] <sigjuice> durt: according to /var/log/Xorg.0.log, ATI Rage 128 Mobility M3 LF (AGP) (ChipID = 0x4c46)
[22:56] <Aquina> hm.  This is not a Ubuntu or bootloader problem as I already mentioned, eeheh.
[22:56] <Royall> what drive is /dev/sg0, usually?
[22:56] <flint_> eeheh, what version of the CD did you have?
[22:56] <rdw200169> kapace_laptop, that doesn't get the restricted drivers, though, like nvidia and fglrx
[22:56] <eeheh> An very old Dell cd with Windows XP Service pack 1.
[22:56] <eeheh> 32 bit version.
[22:56] <kapace_laptop> rdw200169, but i can change the command for that?
[22:56] <flint_> eeheh, go download a new version and burn it to a cd
[22:56] <tim_> nevermind.
[22:57] <eeheh> Is the windows cd required to fix the damned mbr?
[22:57] <kapace_laptop> eeheh, no
[22:57] <kapace_laptop> you can find the recovery console somewhere from microsoft
[22:57] <Andry_Afk> I do not have a cd rom drive
[22:57] <maco> eeheh: if "fix" means you want to reinstall windows' boot loader
[22:57] <durt> sigjuice: sorry got caught up helping someone else. Also sorry I've never touched an ATI card
[22:57] <rdw200169> kapace_laptop, yeah, here's the one for nvidia: dpkg --get-selections nvidia*
[22:57] <Andry_Afk> so I cant use a real cd
[22:57] <flint_> eeheh, the windows cd is required to fix your windows xp. It will also fix the mbr as part of the bargan.
[22:57] <icui2i> can anyone help me with how to get back the lower panel, where I can see my programs when minimized? as well how many desktops that are available.. I accedently deleted the panel...
[22:57] <kapace_laptop> rdw200169, yeah, thats what i was thinking
[22:57] <kapace_laptop> thanks
[22:57] <Andry_Afk> I need an external drive, such as a USB drive
[22:57] <maco> icui2i: just add a new panel and add those applets to it\
[22:58] <naxa> rdw200169, i'm back....... sorry for being late, i just played a bit with tux racer :)
[22:58] <maco> icui2i: if you right click the top panel itll let you add a new one
[22:58] <rdw200169> naxa, so it works?
[22:58] <naxa> rdw200169, yeah, it's hell slow, but it works. :)
[22:58] <flint_> macd_, Hou are you doing?
[22:58] <naxa> rdw200169, tux racer is my glxgears
[22:58] <rdw200169> naxa, well, thats what you get from a Rage 128 ;)
[22:58] <flint_> mac /Hou/How/
[22:58] <naxa> rdw200169, i think it's actually more interesting. :)
[22:58] <naxa> rdw200169, yeah :)
[22:59] <alexxoid> hi guys, does anybody have been setuped a voxware metasound decoder?
[22:59] <icui2i> maco: but it's not the same as the one when I first installed ubuntu..
[22:59] <naxa> rdw200169, i actually has an integrated graphics card. can i found out what's that, with this ati still in operation (eg. right now)?
[22:59] <maco> icui2i: you can make it the same
[22:59] <icui2i> maco: still miss the desktop area
[22:59] <maco> icui2i: if you right click it you can add that :P
[22:59] <rdw200169> naxa, yeah, you can actually use both w/different monitors, etc... but that requires a more advance xorg.conf config... not *impossible* ;)
[23:00]  * linux_guy downloads tuxracer out of curiosity
[23:00] <naxa> rdw200169, i installed ati in the agp slot 'couse i tried to install osx (experimentally) and it said that it needs an ati card. :)
[23:00] <maco> icui2i: im not in gnome right now, but there are widgets you can add to that panel for Display Desktop, Window Picker, Workspace Switcher, and Trash
[23:00] <zawazawa> is anyone here using irssi?
[23:00] <icui2i> maco: what kind of applets do I choose to do that?
[23:00] <eeheh> Right now, I don\t want to format my windows, i\m only intrested in fixing the mbr. I.e removing the Dual boot that ubuntu asked if I wanted to create when I installed ubuntu for the first time.
[23:00] <erUSUL> zawazawa: me
[23:00] <naxa> rdw200169, I see. :) but where can i see the type of the card? lspci's info doesn't showd me any sense (even if it was actually)
[23:00] <maco> icui2i: just look through the list. the names should be similar to the names i said
[23:00] <CyberGab1er> zawazawa: Yes, why
[23:00] <linux_guy> eeheh, you're probably going to have to reinstall the OS
[23:00] <btQuark> does anyone know how i can show the passwords in the gnome password manager?
 how do I connect my Windows machine to Ubuntu?
 Imaginativeone, install samba, read documentation
[23:01] <uplink> anyone uses apt-build??
[23:01] <zawazawa> how do I see the list of channels, I'm new to IRC and this client
[23:01] <icui2i> maco: will try =) thank you =)
[23:01] <linux_guy> and quit getting virus'
[23:01] <btQuark> i've tried to click on show password but it does not show anything
[23:01] <erUSUL> eeheh: we already told you how. boot with a windows cd into recovery mode and run « fixmbr »
[23:01] <rdw200169> naxa, its very likely that /var/log/Xorg.0.log specifies the video cards it found
[23:01] <Imaginativeone> zawa: which client?
[23:01] <erUSUL> eeheh: for more details as in ##windows
[23:01] <linux_guy> erUSUL, he has no cd
[23:01] <zawazawa> irssi
[23:01] <Imaginativeone> ah
[23:01] <eeheh> I don\t have any windows cd at all. I lost it.
[23:01] <maco> eeheh: dont need to get rid of GRUB to get rid of the dual boot...
[23:01] <Imaginativeone> can you use /list ?
[23:01] <zawazawa> it doesn't seem to do anything
[23:02] <nightrid3r> do i need special software to mount mdf (alcohol120%) files ?
[23:02] <maco> eeheh: bah Brunellus isn't on, but his brother's laptop uses GRUB with Windows, just because the kid likes GRUB but not ubuntu
[23:02] <machine> Hello. Is anyone familiar with Blender and/or 3ds?
[23:02] <naxa> rdw200169, well, this is quite long... can you help me with any specific about what am i searching?
[23:03] <naxa> rdw200169, i've found ati couse it's "rage".. dunno what to search for :)
[23:03] <rdw200169> naxa, it should specify that in one of the (II) lines
[23:03] <jway> when at a login screen in command prompt, saying "machinename login: " and I don
[23:03] <rdw200169> naxa, like, "Informational"

[23:03] <jway> 't want to login, but shutdown the machine - how do I do tha
[23:03] <jway> t
[23:03] <erUSUL> zawazawa: /list on the server window but that will overkill use the freenode alist service
[23:04] <erUSUL> zawazawa: will be*
[23:04] <mr_daniel> machine: you can find a #blender channel on the freenode server
[23:04] <douglasness> would the newest version of ubuntu run without being installed on the hard drive?  I need it to be able to remove data off a crashed hard drive?  Really important.  Please message me with answer.
[23:04] <machine> thanks mr_daniel :)
[23:04] <thebloggu> can someone tell me if is possible for me to tweak my theme not to look so big ? for example, in firefox my bookmarks bar height is maybe 20px and i like it small
[23:04] <mr_daniel> np
[23:05] <meoblast> hi
[23:05] <nightrid3r> douglasness yes it will
[23:05] <douglasness> thank you very much I will be sure to download it tonight thx
[23:05] <eeheh> I got a windows xp ISO file at my computer. Yay. Let's see what magic we can do here.
[23:05] <rdw200169> naxa, somewhere in your menu there may be an app that shows you a windows-ish layout of your hardware
[23:05] <meoblast> my dad and step mom decided they wanted Ubuntu on this slow machine and when i ran the live CD i had some wireless issues.... could some one assist me in finding the easiest way to set this wireless card up?
[23:05] <rdw200169> naxa, but i don't know, on 8.04 i installed a kde app for that b/c i couldn't find it
[23:05] <mr_daniel> nightrid3r: I am not sure if a fresh ubuntu installation is able to mount mdf files, but you can convert the mdf file into iso format and then mount the .iso http://ubuntuexperiences.wordpress.com/2006/12/13/mounting-mdf-images/
[23:06] <HLM11> need assistance with removing a non-empty folder on my desktop, please help
[23:06] <nightrid3r> oh cool
[23:06] <icui2i> maco: thank you..worked fine =)
[23:06] <rdw200169> naxa, try this: gnome-device-manager
[23:06] <mr_daniel> I think there are also tools to mount mdf files directly, but I dont how they are called
[23:06] <meoblast> strange.. lspci reported it to be a broadcom but Windows reports it to be a Linksys
[23:07] <vishnu> i was working with Full visual effects enabled. when i played video. it flickers so i changed to normal. then now i cannot enable the visual effects. pls help
[23:07] <rdw200169> meoblast, that's b/c linksys cards always use broadcom chipsets
[23:07] <Royall> Is it safe to delete the "Microsoft Windows XP Embedded" option from the GRUB menu.lst?
[23:07] <meoblast> vishnu: oh that's easy to fix..... open a terminal and type "compiz --replace"
[23:07] <zawazawa> erUSUL: thanks I'll have to read up on how to use that
[23:07] <gidna> Hi
[23:07] <meoblast> vishnu: sometimes with non-nVidia cards it will false report whether compiz can be started
[23:08] <TruthTaco> whats a "superspace"
[23:08] <rdw200169> naxa, yeah, i just installed that, its very good
[23:08] <meoblast> vishnu: if that doesnt work, X server must be restarted
[23:08] <gidna> I don't like awn so I removed it.. but I don't have anymore the classic bar at the bottom..
[23:08] <vishnu> meoblast: ok wait. i will test
[23:08] <meoblast> rdw200169: are there drivers for those or must i use ndiswrapper?
[23:08] <gidna> How can I reput it?
[23:08] <gidna> that one with the show desktop..
[23:08] <eeheh> I copied the recovery tool over to the boot thingy, let\s see if it works. I will return later. Thanks and bye.
[23:09] <sak> hi
[23:09] <rdw200169> meoblast, it's iffy, depends on exactly what chipset you have
[23:10] <naxa> rdw200169, ah. sometimes one cannot understand, why aren't some compnents are installed by default.
[23:10] <vishnu> meoblast: i tried 'compiz --replace'. still cannot enable effects
[23:10] <meoblast> rdw200169: how can i find out.. i'm not good with WIndows and Ubuntu off live CD could take a while to boot on this machien (plus there's no network in ubuntu on here)
[23:10] <vishnu> meoblast: when i tried it says 'Desktop effects could not be enabled'
[23:11] <rdw200169> meoblast, do you have a 'restricted drivers available' icon whatzit in your taskbar?
[23:11] <meoblast> vishnu: pastebin me the terminal output
[23:11] <meoblast> rdw200169: no
[23:11] <rdw200169> naxa, yeah, i agree, a hardware profile app is very useful!
[23:11] <vishnu> meoblast: ok
[23:11] <meoblast> rdw200169: although there are nVidia drivers on this machine
[23:11] <meoblast> rdw200169: i mean an nVidia card
[23:12] <Andry_Afk>  my notebook doesnt have cdrom drive. anybody can tell me how to boot the livecd from a USB pendrive?
[23:12] <meoblast> Andry_Afk: one second i'll get you a link
[23:12] <HLM11> need help with removing a non-empty folder on my desktop
[23:12] <naxa> rdw200169, yeah. however, i can't see my other vga here... but there is an unknown device on the "host bridge". could it be that...?
[23:12] <sigjuice> durt: thanks for your help.  I tracked this to bug 284309 and fixed my problem.
[23:12] <Ebdomos> Quick question: I have made a 4.7 gb dvd image, and I need to transfer it via internet to one person. What is the fastest most reliable way of doing this? Torrent?
[23:13] <meoblast> Andry_Afk: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[23:13] <rdw200169> naxa, it's possible, you may want to google your machine model w/ubuntu to see if its a kernel problem
[23:13] <naxa> yeah
[23:13] <HLM11> !files
[23:13] <vishnu> meoblast: http://pastebin.com/mc978ac4
[23:13] <rdw200169> naxa, you gotta admit, though: gnome-device-manager is pretty darn useful!
[23:14] <erUSUL> HLM11: you can not sdo it with the file manager?
[23:14] <HLM11> no
[23:14] <erUSUL> HLM11: error msg?
[23:14] <erUSUL> !details | HLM11
[23:14] <naxa> rdw200169, i admit it. :) it really is.
[23:14] <HLM11> only root has access to it and sudo + --ignore doesnt work
[23:14] <meoblast> vishnu: you have an Intel chip?
[23:14] <meoblast> vishnu: for your GPU?
[23:14] <erUSUL> HLM11: sudo rm -r folder/
[23:14] <HLM11> I was trying to install vmware server and I got the rpm and tried converting with alien
[23:14] <naxa> rdw200169, still wondering why wasn't enough space for 144 kb in that cd image.
[23:15] <vishnu> meoblast: no ATI
[23:15] <linux_guy> Can compiz get along with video files yet in 8.10?
[23:15] <meoblast> rdw200169: how would i find which chipset this this wireless device has in it from windows?
[23:15] <nsadmin> alien might convert the package but the insides are not guaranteed to work
[23:15] <HLM11> ok, its gone thanks
[23:15] <rdw200169> naxa, meh, who knows?  i'm sure there was a heated debate over removing it... but i don't feel like pouring through the launchpad to find out why
[23:15] <vishnu> meoblast: i have ATI chipset
[23:15] <meoblast> vishnu: well ATI and Intel use similar interfaces for drivers..... sadly... the only way to fix that is restart X as far as i know....
[23:16] <rdw200169> meoblast, well, you can use lspci or lsusb depending on how it's plugged in
[23:16] <meoblast> vishnu: in other words... save work... close programs..... Control + Alt + Backspace
[23:16] <naxa> rdw200169, linux people sometimes do very strange decisions. or at least very strange for me.
[23:16] <vishnu> meoblast: you mean restart the system
[23:16] <crdlb> linux_guy: the problem isn't compiz, it's your video driver, so the answer to that question depends on your video driver as it always has
[23:16] <meoblast> rdw200169: from windows?
[23:16] <erUSUL> rdw200169: lshw
[23:16] <rdw200169> erUSUL, thanks
[23:16] <meoblast> rdw200169: it would take a good 15 minutes to get back into the live cd
[23:16] <meoblast> rdw200169: and a good 10 to get back into windows
[23:16] <rdw200169> meoblast, ah, do you know what the model number of the card is?
[23:17] <JPSman> Hi
[23:17] <meoblast> rdw200169: yes i have it from System Info
[23:17] <rdw200169> meoblast, like "linksys wrt54g v.10" or something
[23:17] <meoblast> rdw200169: Linksys LNE100TX Fast Ethernet Adapter (LNE100TXv4)
[23:17] <naxa> rdw200169, i was once 'debating' about why should ubuntu has a better file open/save dialog box... but people didn't beleive me that users need thumbnails in a gtk filechooser. that's very weird for me.
[23:17] <rdw200169> meoblast, in this situation, the version number is very important, linksys likes to swap chipsets a lot
[23:18] <crdlb> linux_guy: fglrx (the proprietary ATI driver) is the only driver that still has consistently broken video unless you use unaccelerated X11 playback
[23:18] <meoblast> rdw200169: was that the version number? if not where can i get it?
[23:18] <rdw200169> naxa, i have a bad habbit of customizing things endlessly, generally my ubuntu never ends up looking like the original :)
[23:18] <vishnu> meoblast: i am using Virtual Box. wil it affect the Visual effects
[23:18] <rdw200169> meoblast, the box it came in, or on a sticker on the actual card
[23:18] <meoblast> vishnu: shouldnt... i think that is just a known bug in non-nVidia cards
[23:19] <rdw200169> meoblast, but i don't think what you showed me is the wireless card, that's an ethernet adapter
[23:19] <meoblast> rdw200169: i dont know... and i don't think my dad would like me demolishing everything to get to the back of the machhine
[23:19] <naxa> rdw200169, really? can you give me some hints? i installed awn and some now logon themes but somehow i am allways lacking something in the end... can you give me hints?
[23:19] <naxa> now=new :)
[23:19] <rdw200169> naxa, what do you want to do?
[23:19] <vishnu> meoblast: any patches available..
[23:19] <naxa> rdw200169, just random cool stuff what you see on screenshots but don't know how to get
[23:19] <naxa> rdw200169, this is plan A
[23:20] <meoblast> vishnu: maybe typing "killall metacity" and then "compiz" would work
[23:20] <wers> is there a way to have both wicd and nm installed? :D
[23:20] <rdw200169> naxa, well, with compiz you can use a replacement window manager called emerald to make pretty windows
[23:20] <meoblast> vishnu: metacity might be locking it out
[23:20] <meoblast> vishnu: be aware that your window title bars will go away after killing metacity
[23:20] <meoblast> brb gtg... i'll be back soon
[23:20] <rdw200169> naxa, i was never a fan of awn (it crashed a lot at the time) so i use cairo-dock
[23:20] <vishnu> meoblast: ok
[23:20] <rdw200169> naxa, that, and a lot of people really like conky
[23:20] <nectar> hey guys i just installed frostwire it was installed well. but when i start it it always says starting the connection is there anyone  who can help me about that?
[23:21] <vishnu> meoblast: will it close any windows ?
[23:21] <rdw200169> naxa, there's also gscreenlets that puts interesting informational things on your desktop
[23:21] <Macer> just bought an ice genie for my k45
[23:21] <Macer> it's really starting to turn into a sickness :)
[23:21] <alien> guys, I have a long text file with <a href=http://www.malwaredomainlist.com/mdl.php?search=doc9c.cn>doc9c.cn</a><br><a href=http://ww how do I extract all domains and put them into another file in ubuntu CLI ?
[23:21] <jrib> alien: use grep (hint: -o)

[23:22] <gidna> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLjh8nOTlwo
[23:22] <gidna> How can i put the clock like that one ?
[23:22] <alien> jrib, I know what grep and sed is for, but after reading the manual for couple of hours I give up :)
[23:22] <naxa> rdw200169, thanks! can you tell me what have you done on your desktop (if it's too much, key elements, or "recently)?
[23:22] <mikejet> Is there a way to tweak the temperature that the hardware shuts down at?
[23:22] <jrib> alien: does my hint help?
[23:22] <rdw200169> naxa, there's also ultamatix for getting restricted stuff
[23:23] <alien> let me see
[23:23] <elementz> find
[23:23] <rdw200169> naxa, mostly, i run dual-monitor with a bunch of minor gconf changes to make things act the way i like
[23:23] <alien> jrib, so what optio0n do I put here?
[23:23] <jrib> alien: huh? -o is the option
[23:24] <ca_rlo> hello
[23:24] <eater91> Hi -
[23:25] <alien> jrib, I didnt get your point

[23:25] <alien> does not help
[23:25] <alien> how to describe that I want domain name after =

[23:29] <alien> jrib, yeah
[23:29] <ca_rlo> sometimes when I took same themes it teels me that I don't have the gtk theme
