[13:49] <pere_> Hello everyone, I'm having several problems on my ubuntu, and I need help, the first is that whin I try to update it tells me that dpkg was interrupted that I have to manually run, I when I try to it sad that I need "speruser permition"
[13:49] <triplc> what i should do so that dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg can INCLUDE mouse and keyboard?
[13:49] <rtz36251> triplc: i guess you need to install hal. as of ubuntu 8.10, xorg takes its input events from hal.
[13:50] <ActionParsnip1> reez: try apt-getting it
[13:50] <triplc> rtz36251: ok, let me install "hal"
[13:50] <needhelp> pere_: use sudo to run it as superuser
[13:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Andre_H Let it do a regular install and then install the wm you want.. sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop   or ubuntu-desktop and then switch between them at login or remove the one you dont want
[13:50] <TWTNW> hi
[13:51] <The_Joe_> Is there a package that contains the xvid4 codec?
[13:51] <Jack_Sparrow> !aptfix
[13:51] <ActionParsnip1> pere_: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[13:51] <reez> ActionParsnip1,  sudo apt-get install alsaconf  ---->  couldnt find package
[13:51] <TWTNW> how do I move the applications' menu  on the upper panel?
[13:51] <Jack_Sparrow> ActionParsnip1 It may be telling him to ..-a    to fix apt
[13:51] <ActionParsnip1> The_Joe_: apt-cache search xvid4
[13:51] <ichat> its booting :P
[13:51] <Andre_H> Jack_Sparrow: i hope it will work, because i have just 256MB Ram at 800MHz
[13:52] <The_Joe_> Ah
[13:52] <The_Joe_> Would have been nice if you just told me but yeah
[13:52] <The_Joe_> k
[13:52] <ActionParsnip1> Jack_Sparrow: possibly, lets see what happens
[13:52] <TWTNW> please....
[13:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Andre_H YEs it should just squeek into your box then change to x or even fluxbox to get something lighter on your cpu
[13:52] <ichat> jack - wouldn't it be wiser than to try the XFE desktop
[13:52] <reez> ActionParsnip1, http://www.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?04266a9c48.jpg
[13:53] <triplc> rtz36251: ok, thanks, after "hal" installed, it works as expected
[13:53] <pere_> ok! I will try, a moment...
[13:53] <Jack_Sparrow> ichat That is what he wanted, and I was giving him exapmles of how to do it
[13:53] <ActionParsnip1> reez: can you click obn the mic pic?
[13:54] <Jack_Sparrow> ichat If all he has is the gnome wm install he has to start with that then change
[13:54] <Andre_H> yes, thats what i will
[13:54] <Andre_H> do
[13:54] <pacol> hi
[13:54] <jero> Jack_Sparrow - fine, but i ll come back to remind you on that should you ever retreat to not exactly posing or answering support questions in here in a robotic fashion
[13:54] <reez> ActionParsnip1, yes i can unmute with the Button but when i close an open it again its muted. I cant aptget alsaconf..
[13:54] <Andre_H> i also can install the xubuntu-desktop package out of console
[13:54] <holyguyver> ActionParsnip1, I was just reading that page, & nothing on their seemed to have been just for rebuilding file system struction, did I overlook something?
[13:54] <ichat> Jack_Sparrow:  - ok i c :P
[13:54] <ActionParsnip1> reez: maybe try using gksudo to run that app
[13:55] <rtz36251> Andre_H: on a 800mhz/256mb machine i'd go for fluxbox, not xfce
[13:55] <ActionParsnip1> holyguyver: it just helps you to get the data off, so you can format then write the data back
[13:55] <matreya6> My kernel seems to run on 100% CPU most of the time. Even in runlevel 3. I'm using Hardy 32Bit on an Athlon XP2600+ with 1GB of memory
[13:55] <Jack_Sparrow> jero Feel free to review our logs and go to #Ubuntu-ops to discuss it
[13:55] <ActionParsnip1> holyguyver: foremost is pretty decent
[13:55] <masterof14> can someone help me instaling nvidia drivers?
[13:55] <ActionParsnip1> !nvidia | masterof14
[13:55] <isr`> i have a question, im taking a large scale development class this semester, and we have to use ubuntu as a dev environment, i already set up an ubuntu 8.04 LTS dev environment, but i was wondering if i should have gone with 8.10 instead, any reason to use 8.10 over 8.04 LTS?
[13:55] <holyguyver> ActionParsnip1, I do not want to get the data off.
[13:55] <reez> ActionParsnip1, no...i cant. Should i try to reinstall ubuntu?
[13:56] <jero> jack_sparrow - no, if its such a strict channel, i understand it...
[13:56] <needhelp> Hello, can anyone give me advice in buying a new motherboard? I am thinking of buying a motherboard and CPU, either AMD Athlon 64 or Phenom. I don't know the differences. Here are a couple of motherboards: http://www.komplett.no/k/kl.aspx?bn=10112
[13:56] <ActionParsnip1> reez: i wouldnt
[13:56] <Jack_Sparrow> jero all the others are much more relaxed.
[13:56] <ActionParsnip1> reez: your call dude, theres a small tweak you need, just finding it is a pain
[13:56] <isr`> anyone? ^^
[13:56] <ActionParsnip1> reez: if you run the alsamixer with gksudo does it let you unmute
[13:57] <Jack_Sparrow> needhelp You can review our supported hardware page..
[13:57] <Jack_Sparrow> !hardware
[13:57] <holyguyver> ActionParsnip1, I want to leave the data where it is & simply have the harddrive recognize that it is there. if I type in the exact folder names it comes up, but if I do noy then it does not show up, like as if the folders are hidden, yet if I salect to show hidden folders, nothing shows up.
[13:57] <ActionParsnip1> isr`: if 8.10 works for you its fine, you will need to upgrade to Jaunty when its released to get updates
[13:57] <pere_> ActionParsnip: happens the same: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a to correct the problem'
[13:57] <matreya6> isr`, what hardware do you intend to use for that class?
[13:57] <isr`> ActionParsnip1: i have 8.04 LTS at the moment
[13:57] <pacol> ok im back
[13:58] <ActionParsnip1> holyguyver: unless you can write the FAT manually i dont think its possible
[13:58] <isr`> matreya, im using an ubuntu VM
[13:58] <ActionParsnip1> isr`: if it aint broke, don't fix it
[13:58] <holyguyver> ActionParsnip1, FAT?
[13:58] <isr`> ActionParsnip1: sounds good.
[13:58] <ActionParsnip1> holyguyver: file allocation table
[13:58] <adam1> hey all, does anyone know of an irc channel for prestashop users?
[13:58] <reez> ActionParsnip1, xD...gksudo alsamixer shows me only ONE Line...Master. I cant tabswitch to Capture and All...
[13:58] <matreya6> isr`, that's good advice from ActionParsnip1
[13:58] <ActionParsnip1> reez: bah
[13:58] <FreeGels> hello, where can I find a good linux manual for begginers?? please pvt-me
[13:58] <holyguyver> ActionParsnip1, might there be programs that can do that?
[13:58] <isr`> thats what i thought, but i didnt know if there was some really good reason to use 8.10 instead
[13:59] <ActionParsnip1> matreya6: you'd be suprised the folks who don't adhere. like kernel upgrades etc
[13:59] <isr`> guess not though, thanks
[13:59] <reez> ActionParsnip1, jap^
[13:59] <FreeGels> hello, where can I find a good linux manual for begginers?? please pvt-me
[13:59] <ActionParsnip1> reez: you could compile alsa maybe
[13:59] <atomekk> Hello does somebody maybe has problem with shutdown/reboot (ATI card) i need to click ctrl+alt+del on shutdown or reboot (seems like X server hangs or something ) :/
[13:59] <pere_> now I done it!!
[13:59] <ActionParsnip1> FreeGels: man <program name>
[13:59] <pere_> using sudo ! thanks!
[13:59] <reez> ActionParsnip1, omg..im a linux beginner
[13:59] <ActionParsnip1> pere_: you need sudo for admin tasks, makes ubuntu more secure
[14:00] <garren> hi, can I download the ubuntu version for netbooks or does it only come pre installed with certain netbooks?
[14:00] <ActionParsnip1> reez: theres guides on it
[14:00] <isr`> reez, luckily its easy to be a linux noob
[14:00] <ActionParsnip1> reez: unless you try harder stuff you will always be a beginner, get your hands dirty dude :)
[14:00] <isr`> google your question, and thousands of answers are at your finger tips
[14:00] <reez> hmm ok...thx a lot for first. Do you think its a alsa or pulsA problem?
[14:01] <Jack_Sparrow> FreeGels http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid
[14:01] <reez> ActionParsnip1, yeah i will...yesterday i installed vmware server *proud* xD
[14:01] <M3TAPHYS1CS> guys im having problems dual booting windows..i recovered grub but now i cannot boot into windows7 at all
[14:01] <matreya6> ActionParsnip1, about those kernel upgrades... I´m running the latest official Hardy Kernel on an Athlon XP2600+, using 1 GB of memory. My top shows no cpu-time grubbers, but my system monitor ostly shows 100% CPU. This is valid even in runlevel 3, without X
[14:01] <pere_> ok! next problem my amarok starts always with the same track list and the window in wrong position, normally it keeps the last, but now not what could it be?
[14:01] <nightrid3r> needhelp: better ask in #ubuntu-no , they kan read the webpage
[14:01] <ActionParsnip1> reez: wtg
[14:02] <ActionParsnip1> matreya6: run top to see whats chewing your cpu
[14:02] <matreya6> ActionParsnip1, repeat: My top shows no cpu-time grubbers
[14:02] <adam1> hey all, this is not strictly a linux problem but I am looking for support for the ecommerce platform prestashop.  does anyone have any experience of using this, or perhaps know of an IRC channel about it where I could find support.  I have searched google etc and found nothing.  I know you're a knowledgable lot so I thought I'd try here.  anyone know of anything?
[14:02] <holyguyver> ActionParsnip1, Here is the full story of what happened, slightly over a year ago I dropped my harddrive from 4 feet. I spent 2,600$ to get the data transfered from that to a working one, & it worked great. & I have been using the working one. Now I am thinking about using the old one too, & I got it to mount, & all of the data that was on it that is also on the new one is still on it, I would like to not delete that copy as it is yet an
[14:02] <holyguyver> other copy of the data, yet do to the fall it lost track of where on the drive the files are located, but if I enter their location manually they show up, & Konqueror can find their location perfectly fine, but the gnome Natalious(sp?) cannot.
[14:03] <raboof> I loaded the alsa virmidi ('modprobe snd_virmidi'). the virtual midi devices show up fine, but no midi events seem to get though
[14:03] <needhelp> nightrid3r: okay, but any recommendations or what to stay away from, would be nice. How about Asus? DFI? Gigabyte?MSI? XFX?  But unfortunately Arch's grub didn't want to recognize my existing ubuntu and Windows systems. Now I can't start Windows. My menu.lst: http://pastebin.com/m47cf0a5f
[14:03] <raboof> i connected a vkeybd to one end and a kmidimon to the other, but the events don't show up in kmidimon
[14:03] <ActionParsnip1> holyguyver: 1Tb hard drive is cheaper than that.
[14:03] <raboof> any ideas what could be wrong?
[14:03] <nightrid3r> needhelp: i would go for an msi/phenon
[14:04] <Jack_Sparrow> needhelp I use MSI and Gigabyte and a few Asus
[14:04] <holyguyver> ActionParsnip1, that money I spent last year was not for the harddrive, it was for the recovery.
[14:04] <perlsyntax> where can i find emacs 23.1?
[14:04] <needhelp> Jack_Sparrow: big diff between those three?
[14:04] <pere__> and my worst problem is that my evolution is not fetching any mail, like a month ago, it used to be ok, and now only get some mails, everything seems to be right in config, but doesn't work help plese!!
[14:04] <ActionParsnip1> holyguyver: why didnt you have a backup if the data is worth 2600 to you?
[14:04] <ActionParsnip1> holyguyver: you could hdparm the drive to maybe use it
[14:05] <danbhfive> adam1: try the forum
[14:05] <holyguyver> ActionParsnip1, I did not have a backup at that time because I was stupid, but I have backups now :p
[14:05] <ActionParsnip1> holyguyver: you learned the hardest way possible
[14:05] <n8tuser> good you have backups now
[14:05] <isr`> indeed
[14:05] <ActionParsnip1> holyguyver: how big is the drive?
[14:05] <adam1> danbhfive: the prestashop forum?  i have tried there and haven't found answer to my question
[14:05] <Jack_Sparrow> needhelp this is not the best place to discuss what you want to buy .. But I mostly use MSI because they are cheap.. The last two I got were $29 each and work great
[14:06] <danbhfive> adam1: did you ask your question there?
[14:06] <ActionParsnip1> Jack_Sparrow: they have that handy web update thing in windows too :)
[14:06] <Jack_Sparrow> ActionParsnip1 yes
[14:06] <ActionParsnip1> Jack_Sparrow: if you want cheap, buy asrock :-$
[14:06] <holyguyver> ActionParsnip1, the old drive which was destroyed in which now I am trying to access & repair is 500GB, the new one that my old data was transfered to by the recovery place is 1TB in which that at the time made up 200$ of the 2,600$ recovery.
[14:06] <albuntu> hello to all
[14:07] <Ean> Hi I just played around with Arch. But unfortunately Arch's grub didn't want to recognize my existing ubuntu and Windows systems. Now I can't start Windows, but I foundout how to start Ubuntu My menu.lst: http://pastebin.com/m47cf0a5f
[14:07] <albuntu> can anyone tell me where is my ssh password saved ?
[14:07] <isr`> /etc/passwd
[14:07] <needhelp> Jack_Sparrow: okay. Then any other channels to discuss it?
[14:07] <Jack_Sparrow> holyguyver If it was seagate. they are offering free recovery on many of their defective drives
[14:07] <ActionParsnip1> holyguyver: considering its been dropped and your data is important. I wouldnt trustit personally
[14:07] <Jack_Sparrow> needhelp hardware or offtopic..
[14:07] <albuntu> isr`: you said that to me ?
[14:08] <isr`> albuntu: yes, but it could be /etc/shadow also
[14:08] <iFreddie[BOT]> help
[14:08] <matreya6> ActionParsnip1, I do get a ata-error's (timeouts and HSM violations when my CPU maxes out). Still, I can read from my HDD without problems and the SMART status is clear
[14:08] <adam1> danbhfive: im posting a question at the moment.  i've also emailed them.  it would be better for me to find some sort of real-time help though because i'd like a quick response and also will probably have follow-up questions once i solve current problem
[14:08] <albuntu> isr`: thanks :)
[14:08] <isr`> albuntu, /etc/passwd holds users, /etc/shadow holds encrypted passwords
[14:08] <n8tuser> isr` nope ..wrong advise
[14:08] <Jack_Sparrow> iFreddie[BOT] Ask your question all on one line and repeat every few minutes as needed
[14:08] <iFreddie[BOT]> help
[14:08] <isr`> n8tuser: ?
[14:08] <holyguyver> ActionParsnip1, as said though I have backups of all of the dropped data now though thanks to that 2600$ :p
[14:09] <pere__> any idea about why my evolution is not working?
[14:09] <n8tuser> isr` ssh password dont go there
[14:09] <albuntu> n8tuser: isnt it stored there ?
[14:09] <n8tuser> albuntu nope
[14:09] <albuntu> n8tuser: ok where is it ?
[14:09] <isr`> what exactly do you mean by ssh passwords albuntu
[14:09] <Jack_Sparrow> iFreddie[BOT] I muted you. Please PM me if you are not a bot.. else I will remove in a more perm fashion
[14:10] <albuntu> i mean the root password to login as root using ssh
[14:10] <lstarnes> Jack_Sparrow: he parted the channel
[14:10] <mneisen> Hi folks. I am in the process of upgrading a server running hardy to intrepid using do-release-upgrade. Unfortunately, do-release-upgrade tells me that there is no new release found ... Does someone know why this is? Do I have to prepare the apt-sources (so they point to the intrepid repositories) before invoking do-release-upgrade? Thanks in advance!
[14:10] <Jack_Sparrow> albuntu You are not going to find that in a text based file
[14:10] <ActionParsnip1> albuntu: i'd strongly suggest NOT sshing as root
[14:10] <isr`> albuntu: root isn't used in ubuntu
[14:10] <n8tuser> albuntu if i know i would tell you
[14:10] <Jack_Sparrow> lstarnes Yep saw that
[14:10] <isr`> n8tuser: when a user logs in via ssh, it checks the password from /etc/shadow
[14:10] <ActionParsnip1> isr`: it can be but its not necessary in any way
[14:11] <Jack_Sparrow> !upgrade
[14:11] <isr`> ActionParsnip1: yeah, i like sudo more
[14:11] <lstarnes> Jack_Sparrow: he isn't a bot.  He asked a question in #freenode then was directed here
[14:11] <albuntu> ok thanks to all anyways :)
[14:11] <ActionParsnip1> isr`: its more secure
[14:11] <n8tuser> isr` -> depends on how it is configured, different mechanism to authenticate
[14:11] <Jack_Sparrow> lstarnes He was also just repeating help every few seconds and ignored me when I asked him to ask his question
[14:12] <n8tuser> mneisen -> are you sure you want to upgrade to 8.10? you may want to read up on it, or hang around here for a few days
[14:12] <mneisen> Jack_Sparrow: Thanks for the pointer!
[14:12] <Jack_Sparrow> mneisen np
[14:12] <ActionParsnip1> mneisen: if 8.04 is working for you, you have very little reason to upgrade
[14:12] <albuntu> i was just trying. i am not using it as a live system. i just want to play and test in a virtual install so there is no problem
[14:12] <Jack_Sparrow> ActionParsnip1 agreed
[14:12] <mneisen> n8tuser: Well, I have some other boxen running 8.10, and I want them all at the same level.
[14:13] <mneisen> n8tuser: Is there something wrong with intrepid on a server?
[14:13] <isr`> ActionParsnip1: one thing i was wondering, it looks like 8.04 LTS doesnt come with sshd by default
[14:13] <albuntu> what about the ftpd? does it get passwords from /etc/passwd ?
[14:13] <Lukasz> Hey
[14:13] <ActionParsnip1> isr`: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[14:13] <isr`> not that i need it, but it was interesting to me that it didnt
[14:13] <n8tuser> mneisen -> i'd like you to read up on it, and also observe the complaints people have here..
[14:13] <ActionParsnip1> isr`: i ddint know intrepid did as not all users would need it
[14:13] <isr`> yea
[14:14] <isr`> since i'm just running this in vmware player there is really no point anyway
[14:14] <mneisen> n8tuser: OK, any pointers to possible show-stoppers? I'd appreciate!
[14:14] <Lukasz> When I delete a user account is the entire home folder deleted too?
[14:14] <isr`> dont need scp since i have vmware tools installed... ie: i can drag and drop files from host to guest
[14:14] <isr`> Lukasz: it depends
[14:14] <johan12> anyone know about LXDE?
[14:14] <n8tuser> mneisen -> id really like you to hang around and form your opinion, am not going to stop you from upgrading though, just a heads up
[14:15] <isr`> Lukasz: man deluser
[14:15] <mneisen> OK, thanks for cautioning me ... :-D
[14:15] <oCean_> I can not get an external monitor (tv) to work. When I choose a resolution for that monitor, it's the (default) laptop monitor that gets adjusted, and tv still says 'no signal'. I think it's my xorg.conf?
[14:15] <isr`> i think you'd want --remove-home
[14:15] <ActionParsnip1> !lxde
[14:15] <ActionParsnip1> !info lxde
[14:15] <nightrid3r> i want to install ebox but cant cos libapache-authcookie-perl  is not installable
[14:15] <n8tuser> mneisen -> just in general, complaints about sounds, X, and networking to start off
[14:16] <iFreddie[BOT]> k
[14:16] <ActionParsnip1> oCean_: what vieo card?
[14:16] <oCean_> intel
[14:16] <isr`> Lukasz: if you want to delete every file owned by the user on the filesystem --remove-all-files
[14:16] <johan12> tried LXDE but don't know how to get the network manager to show up :S
[14:16] <ActionParsnip1> johan12: i use fluxbox, ive seen a few folks in here mention lxde
[14:16] <mneisen> n8tuser: OK, I do not need sound or X (headless server), and the networking stuff works fine on the other machines.
[14:16] <iFreddie[BOT]> i wont it updateing becuse the screnn res is rubush
[14:16] <ActionParsnip1> johan12: launch it from the terminal
[14:16] <nightrid3r> !ebox
[14:16] <mneisen> I think I just give it a try. I can always go back to 8.04 (thanks to the wonders of backups ... :-D).
[14:16] <johan12> which command?
[14:17] <oCean_> my xorg.conf is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/108978/
[14:17] <Jack_Sparrow> !res
[14:17] <ActionParsnip1> johan12: not sure, check in your menus what command is launched when you run the app and launch the same app in lxde
[14:17] <Travis-42> how do I turn on nvidia's sli?  I don't see it in the nvidia X server settings program
[14:17] <iFreddie[BOT]> k 2 4
[14:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Travis-42 Not supported
[14:17] <johan12> should i use gnome network manager or lx network manager?
[14:17] <Lukasz> isr`, No, I don't. I was asking of Ubuntu default behaviour in this case
[14:18] <Travis-42> Jack_Sparrow: ah ok, thank you
[14:18] <isr`> Lukasz: default is to not remove home directory
[14:18] <ActionParsnip1> johan12: either, as long as you have gtk, both will run
[14:18] <isr`> Lukasz: RTFM
[14:18] <Lukasz> isr`, Thanks
[14:18] <oCean_> Jack_Sparrow: yes, i used that link before.. however it just does not "go to" the external monitor.
[14:19] <isr`> Lukasz: np
[14:19] <Jack_Sparrow> oCean_ SOme laptops do not support running as dual
[14:19] <isr`> man deluser reveals wonderful things to those willing to read
[14:19] <isr`> :-P
[14:19] <Jack_Sparrow> isr` Much better thanks
[14:20] <isr`> Jack_Sparrow: ?
[14:20] <mib_tj0sya> hai just to clear a doubt.. isn't it possible to install from a live cd without the live session(i.e. just with the console ncurses installer?)
[14:20] <isr`> Jack_Sparrow: what is much better?
[14:21] <mib_tj0sya> in 8.10 ubuntu i mean..
[14:21] <Jack_Sparrow> isr` See pm
[14:21] <fdr> hi! is this the right channel to ask for help with a netboot install?
[14:22] <jrib> fdr: of ubuntu, sure
[14:22] <fdr> yup :)
[14:22] <ActionParsnip1> mib_tj0sya: you can do a text install
[14:22] <fdr> well, I set up a DHCP and TFTP server with the netboot image
[14:22] <mib_tj0sya> ActionParsnip1: yeah from the menu seen as we boot from the live cd right?
[14:23] <Nave_> how do i join general chat
[14:23] <fdr> now, after the PXE client fetches pxelinux.cfg/default, the screen on the laptop goes blank and nothing happens
[14:23] <fdr> any suggestions for troubleshooting please?
[14:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !coc > isr`
[14:23] <Nave_> how do i join general chat

[14:23] <Rencx> I have problem with sound in RuneScape how can i fix it? i have removed Pulseaudio for skype..
[14:23]  * oCean_ not giving in .. this *will* work :)
[14:23] <ActionParsnip1> mib_tj0sya: yeah, just read the screen. You could always use the minimal cd and install from the web in a text environment
[14:24] <ActionParsnip1> mib_tj0sya: its what i always use
[14:24] <raboof> anyone aware of good tools for benchmarking USB latency?
[14:24] <Lukasz> I'd like to install fluxbuntu instead of Ubuntu (My machine isn't making it anymore). How can i do that not to mess with Ubuntu?
[14:25] <mib_tj0sya> ActionParsnip1: okay.. whats the formal name for it? text install? am not getting results though am searching a lill bit around it..
[14:25] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: sudo apt-get install fluxbox
[14:25] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: log of,, change session to fluxbox, log in
[14:25] <Lukasz> ActionParsnip1, Already done
[14:25] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: you dont have to installa whole new distro
[14:25] <n8tuser> Lukasz -> i dont know if  tasksel have a fluxbuntu-desktop
[14:25] <Owner> guys, how can i install LIBXSLT? when i try to apt-get it it says that the package cannot be found?
[14:26] <ActionParsnip1> n8tuser: its not in repos
[14:26] <n8tuser> ActionParsnip1 -> oh okay
[14:26] <ActionParsnip1> Owner: apt-cache search libxslt
[14:26] <lstarnes> Owner: try libxslt1.1 and libxslt1-dev
[14:26] <Rencx> I have problem with sound in RuneScape how can i fix it? i have removed Pulseaudio for skype..
[14:27] <Lukasz> ActionParsnip1, I installed fluxbox already, but it's a little bit mess up: shows up all the OS commands in the menu. What I wanted to do was, install a complete Ubuntu-based fluxbox distro and than delete ubuntu
[14:27] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: how do you mean "shows OS commands in menu"
[14:27] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: there will be gnome apps in your fluxbox menu
[14:28] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: you can then use apt-get to uninstall any apps / stuff you dont need
[14:28] <Lukasz> ActionParsnip1, That's the problem: There is a whole bunch of them
[14:28] <mib_tj0sya> ActionParsnip1: thanks and bye.
[14:29] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: well if your /home is on a seperate partition you can just delete /swp and / in the fluxbuntu installer and then edit fstab to mount /home
[14:29] <Rencx> I have problem with sound in RuneScape how can i fix it? i have removed Pulseaudio for skype..
[14:29] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: but you'll need to reinstall what you need
[14:29] <Lukasz> ActionParsnip1, I meant, the menu shows up some commands and apps which usually are hidden from the user, that's all.
[14:30] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: then you need to edit the menu. its stored in ~/.fluxbox/menu
[14:30] <Lukasz> ActionParsnip1, All right. So, you wouldn't rather recommend me to install the entire distro?
[14:30] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: it references another in /usr/share which I'd suggest you copy over your own menu file so you can keep control, but new apps won't get added
[14:30] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: its an option
[14:30] <Lukasz> Ok
[14:31] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: but modifying the menu is siple
[14:31] <Lukasz> ActionParsnip1, Thank you
[14:31] <ActionParsnip1> *simple
[14:32] <Lukasz> ActionParsnip1, Do you know by chance how to set the default new icons size?
[14:32] <Lukasz> ActionParsnip1, Probably, it's hidden  somewhere in gconf
[14:33] <Lukasz> ActionParsnip1, Just hoped in an good shot :)
[14:33] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: icon size, where
[14:33] <ActionParsnip1> which icons?
[14:33] <Lukasz> ActionParsnip1, Everywhere
[14:33] <Lukasz> ActionParsnip1, Folders, files ones
[14:34] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: thatd be he setting for your file manager, if you use nautilus, its whatever setting you use for that
[14:34] <aLeSD> how could I install  linux-image-2.6.24-19-rt on 8.10 ?
[14:34] <aLeSD> I can't find it in the repo
[14:34] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: i use flux + kde so dolphon settings are handled in the standard kde fashion
[14:35]  * Lukasz is going to switch to flux too
[14:36] <ActionParsnip1> aLeSD: try apt-cache search image | grep 2.6.24
[14:36] <Rencx> I have problem with sound in RuneScape how can i fix it? i have removed Pulseaudio for skype..
[14:36] <matreya6> Does anyone know how to troubleshoot HSM violations and freezes on  my ATA drive occuring since the latest Hardy Kernel? I never had any problems on 8.04 wth that.
[14:36] <aLeSD> ActionParsnip1: nothing
[14:36] <ActionParsnip1> aLeSD: are you on intrepid?
[14:37] <kantlivelong> anyone know why my Atheros AR5008 doesnt work with NetworkManager but works fine manually? It shows up but fails to connect.
[14:38] <ActionParsnip1> kantlivelong: try wifi-radar
[14:38] <karamazov> hello
[14:38] <karamazov> i can't login with username root
[14:38] <karamazov> what can i do?
[14:38] <ActionParsnip1> !root | karamazov
[14:38] <aLeSD> ActionParsnip1 yes
[14:38] <Lukasz> Well, another question : I can't wait to find a quick way top switch between spare and browse mode in Nautilus..
[14:38] <kantlivelong> ActionParsnip1: id rather try fixing it first.
[14:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !sudo > karamazov
[14:38] <ActionParsnip1> aLeSD: 2.6.24 is a hardy kernel
[14:38] <mustangg> greets..    Been trying to fix this flicker I get between the window and the desktop when playing video, and (gl?)games such as flightgear. The thing is, I don't see it in warsow.    Anyone have some ideas?
[14:38] <aLeSD> ActionParsnip1: I know
[14:39] <ActionParsnip1> karamazov: you dont log on as root, use sudo and gksudo when you need admin powers
[14:39] <Jack_Sparrow> mustangg Turn off compiz effects, especially if it ATI video card
[14:39] <aLeSD> ActionParsnip1: you mean that I can't install an old kernel ?
[14:39] <ActionParsnip1> karamazov: you shouldnt log on as root even if the account was available, its HUGLEY insecure
[14:39] <karamazov> i need to automatize the back-up action
[14:39] <ActionParsnip1> aLeSD: you could add backports
[14:39] <ActionParsnip1> !backup | karamazov
[14:40] <karamazov> ok :D
[14:40] <karamazov> that's good
[14:40] <aLeSD> ActionParsnip1: in sw source ?
[14:40] <ActionParsnip1> karamazov: forget about root, it doesnt exist
[14:40] <karamazov> ok
[14:40] <aLeSD> sudo su
[14:40] <Jack_Sparrow> aLeSD Bad idea
[14:40] <ActionParsnip1> aLeSD: sudo -i is advised
[14:40] <aLeSD> lol
[14:40] <paul68> Hi I have conky running and I have the wifi connection on eth1 however when i ask for the ssid for eth1 it isn't returning any data any Ideas to solve this?
[14:40] <Jack_Sparrow> aLeSD Instead of Sudo SU...  Please use sudo -i it properly sets up the environment variable in the resulting shell.
[14:41] <aLeSD> ok
[14:41] <Jack_Sparrow> ty
[14:41] <maxbaldwin> so what does 'sudo su -' do compared to 'sudo su'
[14:41] <Jack_Sparrow> max Instead of Sudo SU...  Please use sudo -i it properly sets up the environment variable in the resulting shell.
[14:41] <sYildirim> how can I extract tgz archieve files?
[14:42] <Jack_Sparrow> !zip
[14:42] <raboof> maxbaldwin: it resets the environment variables iirc
[14:42] <maxbaldwin> Jack_Sparrow: I know, that's what I do. I've just seen it used those two ways before.
[14:42] <maxbaldwin> thanks raboof
[14:43] <ActionParsnip1> sYildirim: tar zxvf <file>
[14:43] <paul68> ActionParsnip1: do you have an idea to solve my conky problem?
[14:43] <sYildirim> thx
[14:43] <gregor_> is there any new version of youtube-dl coming, with that you can download higher resolution videos?
[14:43] <ActionParsnip1> paul68: you may need a script to grep and awk the output of ifconfig and return the output to conky, otherwise not sure
[14:43] <ActionParsnip1> paul68: i dont use conky
[14:44] <paul68> ActionParsnip1: ok thanks
[14:44] <ActionParsnip1> gregor_: doesnt youtube-dl just pull down the flv file as it is?
[14:44] <karamazov> on the page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/TAR
[14:44] <karamazov> it says
[14:44] <karamazov> Some directories require root or superuser permissions to successfully backup. Gain superuser access by opening a terminal and entering:
[14:45] <karamazov> sudo -s -H
[14:45] <karamazov> does it not ask for password?
[14:45] <ActionParsnip1> karamazov: well what are you backing up?
[14:45] <Jack_Sparrow> karamazov Not needed.. like that
[14:45] <gregor_> ActionParsnip1, it only download the flv file and not(if avraible) the mp4-file which is much bigger and better.
[14:45] <karamazov> ActionParsinp1: i'm going to back up /home directories everyday
[14:45] <ActionParsnip1> karamazov: if you are backing up only your home dir, you have access that and its not needed
[14:45] <karamazov> ActionParsnip1: i'm going to back up /home directories everyday
[14:45] <ActionParsnip1> karamazov: then its not necessary as you will have full access as you
[14:45] <karamazov> but all users's home directories at once
[14:46] <ActionParsnip1> karamazov: as its your data#
[14:46] <karamazov> not only mine
[14:46] <karamazov> there are 5 users on the system
[14:46] <karamazov> i have to write a script so that all of their files will be backed up
[14:46] <ActionParsnip1> karamazov: when you set up the cron job it is setup as root so the cron process will have access to all users files afaik
[14:47] <karamazov> using crontab how can i do it? write crontab -u root?
[14:47] <lukibmc> enzo ci sei
[14:47] <savvas> karamazov: you could use /etc/crontab
[14:47] <ActionParsnip1> !cron
[14:47] <clarks> what is ubuntu server d/l for?
[14:48] <savvas> clarks: what do you mean?
[14:48] <clarks> savvas, what server ubuntu for?what the function?
[14:48] <gregor_> ActionParsnip1, is it possible to "request" an update of it?
[14:49] <savvas> clarks: ubuntu server is for building a server, such as web server, mail server, ftp server, etc
[14:49] <clarks> savvas, its mean i have to built my own server in server ubuntu?
[14:50] <ActionParsnip1> gregor_: an update of what?
[14:50] <gregor_> youtube-dl, that it support higher resolution videos,
[14:51] <savvas> clarks: you can also use ubuntu desktop to make it a server, if that is your question :)
[14:51] <clarks> yeah thats what i mean
[14:51] <ActionParsnip1> gregor_: the script downloads the flv file by reading the html code and seeing what file is referenced
[14:51] <savvas> clarks: ubuntu server cd just makes it easier to configure your machine as a server
[14:51] <clarks> owhk..
[14:51] <clarks> savanik, i get it
[14:51] <clarks> tq..
[14:51] <ActionParsnip1> gregor_: i didnt think itd work in any other way
[14:51] <savvas> np
[14:52] <gregor_> ActionParsnip1, keepvid.com does also, so there is a way to get the higher video resolution...
[14:52] <ActionParsnip1> gregor_: not sure, have a websearch round
[14:52] <spacepluk> hi, someone using lpia on a netbook?
[14:52] <ActionParsnip1> gregor_: i only know of the script. i dont use it any
[14:52] <spooky_d> Hello
[14:53] <falckon> hey, i tried to test jaunty on my acer aspire with a intel 945GME graphics card, but the graphics don't work with the new xorg, is there a fix for this?
[14:53] <ActionParsnip1> gregor_: youtube quality is usually garbage
[14:53] <spooky_d> I was wondering - how cam I play video with sound on the 9.04?
[14:53] <spooky_d> mplayer is silent as a fish, vlc/xine as well
[14:53] <SlimeyPete> spooky_d: #ubuntu+1 is the channel for 9.04 support
[14:53] <ezerhoden__> falckon: use apt-pinning to mark the version of X that you need
[14:53] <gregor_> ActionParsnip1, http://keepvid.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fde.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dlqt9_9np4-8 compare the both videos... it is a huge difference between them...
[14:53] <spooky_d> thanks
[14:54] <falckon> ezerhoden, thanks i'll look it up
[14:54] <ActionParsnip1> gregor_: then find an equiv to that, they could be any old video to make their software look better

[14:59] <ActionParsnip1> gharz: make sure you run sudo freshclam
[15:00] <ActionParsnip1> !webcam | anuubuntu
[15:00] <Jack_Sparrow> fogel Dont forget that compiz has shortcuts too that often interfere with hotkeys you want to assign.. /join #Compiz for more on that
[15:00] <zim> gharz: also man clanscan as there is loads of stuff you can do ie. del files etc
[15:00] <nnull> Jack_Sparrow, any idea on my problem mate?

[15:02] <gharz> zim: i just run clamscan -v -r /media/disk/           this is correct? disk is a windows partition
[15:02] <zim> gharz: Tab and man are your friends if you are looking for a command ie clam --> tab --> will list all commands starting with clam and man will tell you what they do
[15:02] <Jack_Sparrow> fogel open ccsm  go to general and click keybindings tab to see what I am talking about
[15:03] <shadok> hi, i'm wondering if the statistics from the package popularity contest are available somewhere on the canonical/ubuntu site, any hint ?
[15:03] <raboof> nnull: perhaps it stores the passwords using a hash that only looks at the first 8 characters of the plaintext - i seem to remember 3des-hashing or something did that
[15:03] <zim> that should do it but be careful with -r
[15:03] <gharz> zim: ok. thanks!
[15:04] <zim> I am still looking for a RAID guru are there any around?
[15:05] <CruX|> hello all, I just updated my system to ubuntu 8.10, and i have problem with my keyboard. I set my keyboard rate with "xset r rate 200 70". All keys are working with exception of downarrow and leftarrow - wait delay is much bigger than 200 ms. What's wrong ? on ubuntu 8.04 it worked.
[15:05] <mustangg> Jack_Sparrow - yes ATI, but turning off  visual effects effects did not fix it. also tried some of (http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Intrepid_Installation_Guide) those post-tricks.
[15:05] <umberto> list
[15:05] <nnull> zim, try ##hardware , ##linux

[15:06] <nnull> gharz, if it did, don't you think you would of head of it by now?
[15:06] <adminserver> hai...

[15:06] <Vinnex> how can i rebuild the xorg ? reason being is that i tried to install the nvidia drivers but when i load up my computer it had to run in low graphics mode
[15:06] <gharz> kewl thanks!
[15:06] <zim> they all fail
[15:06] <raboof> nnull: https://rastasoft.org/documents/corsi_admin/guide/OSAdminG/uaC.pwcomp.html
[15:07] <nnull> and gharz, alot of windows anti-virus are very insecure eg: norton/mcafee because they are so well used that hacker's just ended up writing virus's specifically for those anti-virus's
[15:07] <DasEi> Vinnex:sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, backup xorg.conf before
[15:07] <zim> Norton is a virus
[15:07] <nnull> raboof, yea just trying to give him a 2 sided answer heh

[15:10] <ActionParsnip1> zim: running NAV on old systems is gonna make it crawl
[15:10] <ActionParsnip1> zim: i'd suggest panda / AVG
[15:10] <nnull> ftab__, go System > Prefs > Sound and make sure u get sound out of all your tests, and if you dont try different options from dropdown
[15:11] <zim> ActionParsnip1: I also dont use any AV
[15:11] <Robert_C> i'm trying to duel boot with windows xp, i have the disk, but when i boot from cd it tells me that there is not hard disk drive, what could be the problem?
[15:11] <ftab__> nnull: is there a way to reset?
[15:11] <zim> a good router and some common sence
[15:11] <nnull> ftab__, not afaik, apart from reformatting :)
[15:11] <ActionParsnip1> zim: true but its a nice backup
[15:11] <ftab__> oh My God
[15:11] <nnull> ftab__, shouldnt need to tho
[15:12] <ftab__> but it works in Flash player embedded in browser
[15:12] <nnull> i had a similar problem recently, didnt need to format
[15:12] <nnull> ftab__, yea its different channels of sound so to speak
[15:12] <nnull> some are working, some arent.
[15:12] <zim> ActionParsnip1: I have more problems with customers with AV than the ones who don't
[15:12] <nnull> need to enable the latter
[15:13] <nnull> ftab__, go System > Prefs > Sound and make sure u get sound out of all your tests, and if you dont try different options from dropdown
[15:13] <ActionParsnip1> zim: we have it on our thousands of servers at work and its great
[15:13] <ftab__> I get this error when I try
[15:13] <ftab__> gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Failed to connect: Connection refused

[15:13] <Robert_C> i'm trying to duel boot with windows xp, i have the disk, but when i boot from cd it tells me that there is not hard disk drive, and when i try to run setup from the cd it wont alow me to and closes, what could be the problem?
[15:13] <ftab__> I configured that make it work wit skype
[15:14] <ActionParsnip1> Robert_C: is your drive SATA?
[15:14] <rodolfo> hi channel
[15:14] <Robert_C> actionparsnipl: what is SATA?
[15:14] <unanxbt> How to play a DVD?
[15:14] <ActionParsnip1> Robert_C: is a hard drive interface, others include PATA and SCSI
[15:14] <ActionParsnip1> !dvd | unanxbt
[15:15] <nnull> Robert_C, SATA drives have neat cables, IDE ones have grey ugly ones :)
[15:15] <ActionParsnip1> nnull: all drives are IDE
[15:15] <Jack_Sparrow> !dvd
[15:15] <nnull> where did i say they were? :s
[15:15] <Robert_C> actionparsnipl: beats me, but when i try loading setup it closes itself also
[15:15] <zim> here is how it works. Customer installs some app ie skype. Norton says do you want some.dll to access the web. they say no Skype=broken. Call me I fix. next day customer is asked by norton do you want some.virus. They say yes as yesterday it cost them for me to fix the NO problem. so now they only SAY YES
[15:15] <nnull> oh
[15:15] <ActionParsnip1> Robert_C: xp has no SATA driver so you need to use a floppy with the driver for your chip on it, or use software to add the driver to the XP iso and reburn
[15:15] <unanxbt> @thanks > ActionParsnip1
[15:15] <nnull> thought u said NOT all drives are ide
[15:15] <karamazov> hello
[15:15] <ActionParsnip1> nnull: ide == integrate drive electronics

[15:16] <nnull> ActionParsnip1, so how do you differ between sata connectioned ide devices and their predicessors?
[15:16] <Robert_C> actionparsnipl: it's an actual windows xp cd, not one i burnt from someone
[15:16] <ftab__> so there is no to reset the sound to it's system default?
[15:16] <unanxbt> Vinnex, reinstall your nvidia driver
[15:16] <vallhalla81> !live
[15:16] <ActionParsnip1> nnull: old storage drives didnt have circuit controllers on them so relied purley on the controller to control them
[15:16] <ftab__> *no way
[15:16] <zim> ActionParsnip1: now you understand my point
[15:16] <vallhalla81> !live usb
[15:16] <Vinnex> unanxbt: whats the most convenient way of doing that?
[15:16] <nnull> ActionParsnip1, yea but what is the standard to call them by?
[15:16] <ActionParsnip1> nnull: SATA == serial; ATA, PATA == parallel ATA
[15:16] <nnull> ahh so they're PATA ?
[15:17] <rodolfo> guys tell me how I'm supposed to "transfer" image from my nobo to my display...so far it just reflects the image, I mean both displays (nobo display and my 17'' TFT monitor) shows the same image how can I watch the image from my notebook to a different display and turn the nobo's display off?
[15:17] <unanxbt> Vinnex, did you download driver from nvidia's site?
[15:17] <ActionParsnip1> nnull: tecnically but if you say IDE people will get what you mean
[15:17] <Vinnex> unanxbt: yeah just do that again?
[15:17] <ActionParsnip1> nnull: its like hoover, tannoy etc
[15:17] <nnull> ActionParsnip1, lol yea that's what i thought before you fyi'd me :)
[15:17] <Vinnex> unanxbt: i downloaded 180.22
[15:17] <ActionParsnip1> nnull: perspex
[15:17] <nnull> ActionParsnip1, lol yea
[15:18] <unanxbt> Vinnex, open terminal > go to folder that contains the nvidia driver > then "sudo sh NV*
[15:18] <nnull> ActionParsnip1, Freedom heh
[15:18] <vallhalla81> what is it you use to make a livedisk but on a pen drive?
[15:18] <rodolfo> is there a way to do this?
[15:18] <Vinnex> unanxbt: i need to do it out of the x server thingy how do i get out of it ctrl alt bkspc?
[15:18] <unanxbt> Vinnex, do not forget to do turn off X before doing this
[15:19] <unanxbt> Vinnex, press Alt+Ctrl+F1 > login > write "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop"
[15:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Vinnex sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop. do your nivida stuff, using sudo. sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start to restart X . ctl-alt-f7 to get back to gui, if needed
[15:19] <DasEi> Vinnex: alt & F1
[15:19] <unanxbt> Vinnex, after installing driver > sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[15:19] <Vinnex> ok
[15:20] <ftab__> in my commands history
[15:20] <ftab__> I issued these commands
[15:20] <ftab__>   76  sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio
[15:20] <ftab__>    77  sudo gedit ~/.profile
[15:20] <ftab__>    78  sudo killall pulseaudio
[15:20] <ftab__>    79  sudo aptitude remove pulseaudio
[15:20] <ftab__>    80  sudo aptitude install esound
[15:20] <FloodBot2> ftab__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:20] <drpc> how can I copy files in shell as root
[15:20] <ActionParsnip1> ftab__: use pastebin dude
[15:20] <Jack_Sparrow> !paste > ftab__
[15:20] <unanxbt> Vinnex, the X should be completely turned off for nvidia driver installation
[15:20] <ActionParsnip1> drpc: sudo cp <source> <dest>
[15:20] <unanxbt> Vinnex, so you have to do all this
[15:21] <Vinnex> unanxbt: yeah wrote it down
[15:21] <vallhalla81> !frugal
[15:21] <Vinnex> unanxbt: if not i'll be back :P
[15:21] <drpc> ok thanksssssss

[15:23] <laggo> all i get after installing is "operating system not found"
[15:23] <jclbrt> wats the issue
[15:23] <MisterKM> unanxbt: im not trying xmms, im doing xmms2 (!info xmms2). I've ran the installer, but theres no icon for it.
[15:24] <ActionParsnip1> ftab__: try switching to alsa
[15:24] <jclbrt> laggo: make sure u installed to the master drive
[15:24] <jclbrt> ftab__, wats the issue
[15:24] <ActionParsnip1> ftab__: you will get issues with a new OS if its your first time
[15:24] <unanxbt> MisterKM, I am using xmms, never tried xmms2
[15:24] <ActionParsnip1> !xmms
[15:24] <tereg> I need help with this report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/320287  also I'm debating whether this should be filed as a bug or if it should be a question
[15:24] <ftab__> I want to reset my sound configuration to system default
[15:24] <johnny_boy> GUIS CN U TEECH ME 2 HAK????????//
[15:24] <ftab__> is that possible?
[15:24] <laggo> jclbrt: i have one drive in the machine, i use ubuntu install to entire disk, i tell grub to do its thing with the mbr etc
[15:24] <ftab__> I messed up my sound
[15:24] <MisterKM> You can't get XMMS anymore.
[15:24] <draeday> everytime i put my machine to hibernate wierd stuff start to happen
[15:24] <laggo> jclbrt: and still, operating system not found
[15:25] <ftab__> now it works on Flash embedded player and not in Totem or any other music player
[15:25] <MacPri> Huhu :O
[15:25] <rodolfo> nevermind I figured it out on my own..thx
[15:25] <ftab__> jclbrt: you see what I mean?
[15:25] <draeday> screen loks wierd mouse is out of control
[15:25] <faileas> laggo: might sound a bit wierd but tried wiping the disk first with something like dban?
[15:25] <jclbrt> does anyone know the status of siiverlight being ported to linux
[15:25] <ActionParsnip1> ftab__: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843012
[15:25] <MacPri> :D
[15:25] <ActionParsnip1> ftab__: search for the word restore
[15:25] <jclbrt> faileas, i was jst about to suggest something like that
[15:25] <Vinnex> unanxbt: nvidia kernel failed again
[15:26] <laggo> faileas: havent tried it, did consider wiping the disk clean and trying again though
[15:26] <Vinnex> unanxbt: should i be creating a nvidia config file to run it?
[15:26] <jclbrt> laggo, if you use GParted it should tell u the formatting of the drive
[15:26] <unanxbt> Vinnex, you should allow it to modify xorg.conf
[15:26] <laggo> jclbrt: the formatting? it has a primary bootable partition and a swap partition
[15:26] <unanxbt> Vinnex, allow it to create config file
[15:27] <jclbrt> is it ext3?
[15:27] <Vinnex> unanxbt: i should have i allowed it to install everythin
[15:27] <Jampiter> Hi
[15:27] <unanxbt> Vinnex, everyting? what do you mean?
[15:27] <laggo> faileas: how about something like `dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda`
[15:27] <jclbrt> laggo, is the drive in ext3 format
[15:27] <laggo> jclbrt: yes
[15:27] <laggo> the partition is
[15:27] <jclbrt> oh.. ok
[15:28] <laggo> i let ubuntu install have it's way with it, and it chooses ext3 by default
[15:28] <Jampiter> How can I update Hardy to Intrepid using the Intrepid alternate install disk image? I would rather not have to burn it as I don't have a CDR to hand.
[15:28] <laggo> the problem is one of boot
[15:28] <Vinnex> unanxbt: if tried finding a suitable nvidia kernel couldn't find one so built its own then i said no to 32bit openGL lib's cause im runnin 64 bit and then i said its ok for nvidia x-config file to be created and set as default for bootin up again
[15:28] <ftab__> ActionParsnipl: I did
[15:28] <ActionParsnip1> !upgrade | Jampiter
[15:28] <ftab__> but that doesn't help
[15:28] <jclbrt> that's strange
[15:28] <ftab__> I am not sure, but would just like to restore it to the default after installation
[15:29] <icewaterman> how do i make firefox use pulse audio for flash plugin's sound
[15:29] <unanxbt> Vinnex, the 32bit openGL option is new for me but I think you can give it a try
[15:29] <faileas> laggo: may work. i just tend to dban problematic hard drives, and its never ailed
[15:29] <ActionParsnip1> ftab__: try renaming the files it recommends, they should be regenerated
[15:29] <Jampiter> Thank you ActionParsnip1
[15:29] <unanxbt> Vinnex, I never used that version of nvidia driver
[15:29] <ftab__> there is no asoundrc file
[15:29] <Vinnex> unanxbt: i did the first time and still gave me the kernel fail
[15:29] <ftab__> i located for it
[15:29] <laggo> faileas: so wipe the drive then try installer again?
[15:29] <ftab__> :(
[15:30] <unanxbt> Vinnex, Hmmm!! then you can give apt a try!
[15:30] <faileas> laggo: thats what i'd do ;p
[15:30] <ActionParsnip1> ftab__: let me websearch again
[15:30] <laggo> ok trying
[15:30] <Vinnex> unanxbt: apt? get a new version or somethin
[15:30] <jclbrt> it seems like the only thing you can do laggo
[15:30] <jxander> is there a way for an application to start on both displays 0.0 and 0.1, forcing it to have multiple instances even if it doesn't support it?
[15:30] <jclbrt> maybe try a fdisk on the drive and look for errors irst
[15:30] <unanxbt> Vinnex, no, you can find "Hardware Driver" in any of your menu
[15:31] <Vinnex> unanxbt: i was using 177 but i wanted to update it to 180
[15:31] <laggo> i already tried clearing the partition table etc
[15:31] <sattam> hi , whats the gnome version in ubuntu 8.04.2 ?
[15:31] <laggo> if wiping the disk doesnt do it, it must be a configuration issue (i.e. mbr not knowing there is such a thing as grub)
[15:31] <jclbrt> Vinnex, System --> Administration --> Hardware Drivers
[15:31] <ActionParsnip1> ftab__: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-applets/+bug/95940
[15:31] <unanxbt> Vinnex, I told you the proceedure! I never used 180 so no clue about it
[15:32] <jclbrt> but grub should be the only mbr on there
[15:32] <Vinnex> unanxbt: ill prob just revert to 170
[15:32] <Vinnex> unanxbt: 177
[15:32] <immortallity> Hey, I'm looking for someone who can explain me how to upgrade from 7.4 to 8.10 using the live disc, anyone?
[15:32] <sattam> hi , whats the gnome version in ubuntu 8.04.2 ?
[15:33] <unanxbt> Vinnex, yeah, good for you :)
[15:33] <yellabs_> ..
[15:33] <jclbrt> any idea if netflix will go linux compatible
[15:33] <jclbrt> maybe a silverlight port or something?
[15:33] <DasEi> immortallity: hm, I#d suggest you a clean install, else go to go 8.04, too, see:
[15:33] <yellabs_> hi there , is there an way to auto connect keyring manager , for wireless networks?
[15:34] <laggo> hah ok disk being filled with zero's :)
[15:34] <immortallity> DasEi, is it possible to upgrade from 7.4 to 8.4 then?
[15:34] <laggo> looks like it will take about 40 mins (9.2 MB/s)
[15:34] <jclbrt> laggo: how many writes does it do?
[15:34] <ftab__> it's strange that sound is working in Flash Movies on my browser
[15:34] <DasEi> immortallity:yes it is
[15:34] <immortallity> or do I have to clean install?
[15:34] <immortallity> ok :)
[15:34] <ftab__> and not on other music players
[15:34] <laggo> jclbrt: just one
[15:34] <jclbrt> oh
[15:34] <SilentInfidel> hi, I have installed libdvdcss2 and I can't get DVD playback to work in Totem or VLC. Anyone had this problem?
[15:34] <yellabs_> i have to retype the password for wireless ( keyring ) every time, can i change this? any tips are welcome..
[15:35] <jclbrt> the NSA might find u
[15:35] <laggo> jclbrt: urban legend, i know a lot of those data recovery guys
[15:35] <adaptr> yellabs_: which is it ? wireless or the keyring ?
[15:35] <unanxbt> Why the coping from Hard Disk to USB or USB to Hard Disk is so slow (1KB/Sec) and how can I increase the coping speed?
[15:35] <yellabs_> keyring
[15:35] <DasEi> ubottu: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes ,immortallity
[15:35] <adaptr> unanxbt: maybe the USB drive is simply very slow ?
[15:35] <jclbrt> laggo: it cnt be urban legend I have seen it with my own eyes
[15:35] <yellabs_> !keyring
[15:35] <jclbrt> my unlce does that for a living
[15:35] <immortallity> DasEi: so, I've just got to put the live cd in it and run the install and format the current filesystem?
[15:35] <adaptr> !seahorse
[15:35] <adaptr> pfft
[15:36] <immortallity> DasEi: ok, thanks :D
[15:36] <yellabs_> hmm
[15:36] <jclbrt> he works in computer forensics and they can pull information off almost any drive
[15:36] <laggo> jclbrt: i would gladly challenge any data recovery expert to find any meaningful data after it has been dd'd
[15:36] <unanxbt> adaptr, its USB 2
[15:36] <jclbrt> laggo: I'll ask him if he is up for the challange
[15:36] <laggo> jclbrt: yes, they rely on high level deletion, this is just raw writes to the drive
[15:36] <adaptr> unanxbt: that says nothing about performance per se, as all components contribute to overall speed, but 1KByte per second seems unreasonable
[15:37] <jclbrt> random writes to the drive like 50 times should be secure
[15:37] <DasEi> immortallity:if you want a fresh install (which is safer) run setup from live, if you want upgrade, follow ubotttu , do dist-upgrade
[15:37] <laggo> hah
[15:37] <sattam> iam asking again  , whats the gnome version in ubuntu 8.04.2 ?
[15:37] <laggo> one single raw write is enough
[15:37] <unanxbt> adaptr, the same USB is more faster in coping in WIndows!
[15:37] <laggo> it's such an urban legend, all that residual magnetism bs
[15:37] <wotker> fuck
[15:37] <lifenova> !ohmy
[15:38] <Mpole> hi all. i am looking for the off topic channel... where can i find it?
[15:38] <tritium> Mpole: #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:38] <jclbrt> sattam, i think it's gnome 2.2
[15:38] <Mpole> thanks tritium
[15:39] <matt_> How can I add a user from terminal? Nice link please?
[15:39] <lifenova> sattam: it's gnome 2.2
[15:39] <jclbrt> laggo: I've seen my uncle do it with his software
[15:39] <laggo> jclbrt: not recovering from raw writes to the drive
[15:39] <shadok> hi, i'm wondering if the statistics from the package popularity contest are available somewhere on the canonical/ubuntu site, any hint ?
[15:39] <gmathews> Hi. How do i set an animation effect for my right click menu on my desktop
[15:39] <laggo> if you drag something to the recycle bin and press empty, thats not a raw write
[15:39] <jclbrt> yea laggo
[15:39] <jclbrt> he did it to my drive
[15:39] <adaptr> jclbrt: DoD standard is full wipe, 7 times
[15:39] <sattam> gnome 2.24 or 2.22 ?
[15:39] <lifenova> matt_: http://www.ss64.com/bash/useradd.html
[15:40] <DasEi> sattam: look up yourself, via synaptic  or with apt-cache search "pak*" and dpkg -I  "pak*"
[15:40] <jclbrt> adaptr, i did only like 5
[15:40] <ryanakca> I've enabled the framebuffer on Intrepid, however, I need to run all of my framebuffer apps as root, lest I receive (/dev/fd0: Permission denied.). Is there a way to grant users access to the framebuffer?
[15:40] <gmathews> How do u know the version of the gnome that is installed?
[15:40] <adaptr> gmathews: erm... system, about gnome ?
[15:40] <gmathews> adaptr: :]
[15:40] <matt_> lifenova: Is there a way I can make it so that it doesn't show up on the login page list? I'm wanting to setup an account that I can ssh into...but not show up on the login page.
[15:40] <perillux> How do you open the various openOffice.org applications from the terminal?
[15:41] <sattam> DasEi: iam not ubuntu user :)
[15:41] <DasEi> gmatthews: dpkg  -I
[15:41] <MisterKM> !webcam
[15:41] <lifenova> matt_: well you can make your login screen not have a list at all, so that you have to type your username... would that suffice?
[15:41] <jclbrt> gmathews, right click on a panel and select about this panel
[15:41] <DasEi> sattam: but?
[15:42] <laggo> jclbrt: ask your uncle if he would accept a challenge to recover just a name of a file from a drive that has been wiped ONCE with a `dd if=/dev/zero` command
[15:42] <jclbrt> it should bring up a box that says gnome panels <version number>
[15:42] <gmathews> perillux: Oofice Impress is -> ooffice -impress %U
[15:42] <gmathews> perillux: just right click on the specific oofice app in your menu - add it to panel then when it is there right click on it and click properties
[15:43] <jclbrt> the gnome panel version is the same as the gnome version
[15:43] <perillux> gmathews: thank you
[15:43] <sattam> DasEi: never mind , i will download it and take the tour
[15:43] <Bupuntu> hi, how can i make that all external hard drive will have a specific icon?
[15:43] <gmathews> jclbrt: thanks
[15:43] <jclbrt> i will laggo
[15:43] <Bupuntu> now it shows the standard hd icon
[15:43] <savanik> Is there a way to test grub settings without rebooting your computer? I can't get it the 'colors' statement to take.
[15:44] <jclbrt> he says that in law enforcement they actually have to destroy the hard drvies cuz the information can almost always be recoverd
[15:44] <jclbrt> even if they do write outs
[15:44] <Photoguy> What is the terminal command for opening a port? I want to open 666.
[15:44] <shadok> right jclbrt
[15:44] <lifenova> Bupuntu: try mounting it, then right click its icon and press properties. then click the icon that appears and you'll be able to choose from a list; then I think everytime you mount it again, it will have that icon
[15:44] <jclbrt> but it takes like some really high end equipment to recover data.
[15:44] <savanik> jclbrt - common myth. One wipe of zeros is sufficient on modern hard drives.
[15:44] <laggo> jclbrt: because crooks dont use fundamental writes :)
[15:44] <faileas> jclbrt: actually its lazyness
[15:45] <lifenova> Photoguy: sudo ufw allow 666
[15:45] <savanik> http://www.forensicfocus.com/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=6525749
[15:45] <faileas> usually a guttman wipe is considered more than enough
[15:45] <jclbrt> no it's not..it's harder to destroy a drive then it is to dd it
[15:45] <Photoguy> lifenova, I want to use that port with a small server I'm running, will that command work?
[15:45] <Bupuntu> lifenova so i should do that with every hd? is there an option that everytime it will get the new icon? (in case i'm putting some friend's hd on)
[15:45] <faileas> jclbrt: just drillthrough it, or shred it
[15:45] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot
[15:46] <jclbrt> faileas yes for the average crook it's hard for them to get info off, but not for the nsa or federal governments, if the drive exists they will find something
[15:46] <lifenova> Bupuntu: no, I think you'd have to do it one by one. I'm not sure of a specific way to set every type of device to have the one icon
[15:46] <jclbrt> my uncle says they use thermite to destroy drives
[15:46] <immortallity> DasEi: I tried the instructions according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades but it fails fetching some needed upgrades.. :(
[15:46] <lifenova> Photoguy: I think it should, I'm not too familiar with servers though
[15:46] <Jack_Sparrow> jclbrt offtopic
[15:46] <lexrex>  how do i mount an iso in 8.10 with gnome
[15:46] <Photoguy> Ok, thanks lifenova.
[15:47] <savanik> lexrex - is it an actual iso file, or a cue/bin or some other format?
[15:47] <Bupuntu> ok thanks
[15:47] <domi> hi together <:
[15:47] <jclbrt> Jack_Sparrow, actually it's not. we were going through the dd process cuz laggo is doing it right no
[15:47] <faileas> jclbrt: actually unless they are DAMN sure, its easier to start breaking fingers
[15:47] <lexrex> iso
[15:47] <domi> anyone uses amarok and knows wheres the synchronize button is? :/
[15:47] <sickwidit> hey i have a dual boot of windows 7 and windows xp, will ubuntu install fine with this setup ?
[15:47] <jclbrt> shhh faileas it's off topic
[15:47] <DasEi> immortallity:don't you have a way to backup your files and do a fresh install ?
[15:48] <laggo> hah
[15:48] <lifenova> sickwidit: yeah
[15:48] <savanik> Then it's easy. 'sudo mount -o loop,ro -t iso9660 <filename> <mount point>'
[15:48] <laggo> 8.7gigs, nothing but zeroes
[15:48] <savanik> If you don't have a mount point, it's a good idea to create a new directory in /media. I usually use cde0, cde1, etc.
[15:48] <jclbrt> as far as u can see
[15:48] <jclbrt> that is a small hard drive
[15:48] <deagle> anyone know why vlc keeps stopping after a few seconds of playback?
[15:48] <gnuyen> how do you upgrade 8.04 to 8.04.2?
[15:48] <laggo> jclbrt: only 20% done
[15:48] <jclbrt> oh
[15:48] <jclbrt> i thought u meant the whole drive was like 8.7gb
[15:49] <jclbrt> i wasnt sure u wanted to install ubuntu to that small drive
[15:49] <jclbrt> doesnt leave a huge amount of wiggling room
[15:49] <user___> deagle: try the command line for more output: vlc -v $musicfile
[15:49] <lifenova> gnuyen: sudo apt-get upgrade
[15:49] <jclbrt> brb... gotta boot into windows
[15:49] <DasEi> immortallity: don't you have a way to backup your files and do a fresh install ?
[15:49] <deagle> user__: $videofile ok?
[15:49] <lifenova> gnuyen: If you've kept up with regular updates through the update manager, you already have 8.04.2
[15:49] <gnuyen> lifenova: I already did that.. does that mean i'm at 8.04.2?
[15:49] <jclbrt> cnt watch netflix on linux yet
[15:50] <jclbrt> i hope silverlight is ported to linux soon
[15:50] <user___> deagle: sure, just replace with your actual file
[15:50] <lifenova> gnuyen: Yeah.
[15:50] <jclbrt> i guess there is a port for silverlight 1
[15:50] <Paddy_EIRE> jclbrt, it is.. its called moonlight
[15:50] <jclbrt> but not the new silverlight
[15:50] <gnuyen> should i do dist-upgrade?
[15:50] <jclbrt> Paddy_EIRE, but i dnt think that works with the netflix movies
[15:50] <emma> Ubuntu is supposed to auto-mount an encrypted USB drive isn't it?
[15:50] <gnuyen> 9 packages have been kept back
[15:50] <emma> Hey there Paddy_EIRE
[15:50] <maxbaldwin> How can I find out what architeture I have? cat /proc/cpu
[15:50] <sickwidit> so grub will be able to pick up both my installations automatically (windows 7 and winxp) ?
[15:50] <lifenova> gnuyen: that will upgrade you to intrepid I think
[15:50] <Paddy_EIRE> emma, Hi there :)
[15:51] <Photoguy> lifenova, it did'nt seem to open the port.
[15:51] <deagle> user__: what do I look for? the ouput just stays there
[15:51] <jclbrt> maxbaldwin: what type of processor do u have?
[15:51] <deagle> user__: no errors or anything
[15:51] <lifenova> gnuyen: 8.04.2 doesn't really have a specific new feel to it, it's just the name for all the security updates and such given
[15:51] <user___> deagle: can you pastebinit?
[15:51] <lifenova> Photoguy: Sorry :( I'm really not sure then
[15:51] <sickwidit> lifenova: so grub will be able to pick up both my installations automatically (windows 7 and winxp) ?
[15:51] <Photoguy> lifenova, thanks for the effort!
[15:51] <gnuyen> ok thanks!
[15:51] <gnuyen> i guess i'm good to go
[15:52] <maxbaldwin> jclbrt: Is there a command that can tell me that? it's 'AMD Turion64 (cx2)'
[15:52] <lifenova> sickwidit: Yeah, it should. If you install windows again (after install ubuntu), you'll need to recover grub with live CD
[15:52] <Guest58225> hey, Is there any WINE channel?
[15:52] <Jack_Sparrow> winehq
[15:52] <lifenova> Guest58225: #wine-hq
[15:52] <lifenova> Maybe no dash :/
[15:52] <sickwidit> lifenova: another question, i only need ubuntu for programming purposes, so is 7gb and 2gb swap enough space ?
[15:52] <Guest58225> it's empty
[15:52] <lifenova> sickwidit: how much RAM do you have
[15:52] <sickwidit> 2gb
[15:52] <Guest58225> can I get wine help on this channel?
[15:52] <deagle> user__: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/109006/
[15:53] <deagle> Guest58225: not really, #wine-hq is for that
[15:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Guest58225 winehq is not empty
[15:53] <DasEi>  Guest58225: #winehq, but ask anyway
[15:53] <Jack_Sparrow> no dash
[15:53] <Paddy_EIRE> Guest58225, you can get help installing wine on this channel
[15:53] <icewaterman> sickwidit: 10GB is extremely few space, since you will also want to store data somewhere.
[15:53] <immortallity> DasEi: Will check how much space I need and do a clean install, thanks anyway :)
[15:53] <Jack_Sparrow> !wine
[15:53] <domi> anyone knows how to synchronize my ipod files with amarok? ipod is connected
[15:53] <user___> deagle: it shows a css key problem.
[15:54] <Jack_Sparrow> !ipod
[15:54] <deagle> user: yeah, i just read that, what's that about?
[15:54] <domi> thx bot <:
[15:54] <sickwidit> icewaterman: i have a 250gb external hd i can use for data storage, besides my programs wont be more than 100mb in total
[15:54] <deagle> user: cascading style sheets? on video files? o_O
[15:54] <emma> I have made an encrypted USB drive using crypsetup. I am able to use the command line to open it, and mount it. But when I put it into the machine, Ubuntu brings up some dialog box asking for it's password as if it were going to autmount it. It never does that.
[15:54] <domi> but the question is not how to connect the ipod but wheres the damn button to synchronise the files
[15:54] <user___> deagle: its a dvd content protection layer
[15:55] <bakarat> i can use the number keys in the login screen and in the console (ctrl+alt+f1, forgot how that is called) but in X itself (once logged in), they do not work
[15:55] <user___> !css | deagle
[15:55] <bakarat> any ideas?
[15:55] <sickwidit> icewaterman, lifenova: i am only using ubuntu to run a LAMP stack and for some basic C programming, so will 10gb space be enough for that ?
[15:55] <icewaterman> sickwidit: remember, not only the codesize is relevant but also the binaries created during compilation etc. but 7GB might be enough depending on what additional packages you want to install
[15:55] <ljgk3423> -icewaterman, lifenova: i am only using ubuntu to run a LAMP stack and for some basic C programming, so will 10gb space be enough for that ?
[15:55] <icewaterman> sickwidit: yes
[15:56] <lifenova> sickwidit: Yeah, I presume so. 3gig is about how much the root system takes up so yeah
[15:56] <ezerhoden__> bakarat: system > preferences > keyboard then pick a new layout
[15:56] <icewaterman> i suggest you cut off some space and reduce swap to 1GB
[15:56] <faileas> ljgk3423: ya
[15:56] <bakarat> ezerhoden__, ok, hold on
[15:56] <sickwidit> okay thks guys
[15:57] <nightrid3r> when useing ebox webadmin i get this firefox error "ssl_error_rx_unexpected_change_cipher"
[15:57] <Andre_H> jrib: i now installed my ubuntu and the xubuntu-desktop package...but after restart it still runs gnome...what i have to do???
[15:57] <bakarat> ezerhoden__, makes no difference
[15:58] <Paddy_EIRE> jclbrt, it should be available shortly
[15:59] <matt_> lifenova: I thought about it...but as it is my mom and dad using the computer...typing a username is extremely ineffcient for them. Why type when they can click? I'm sure you see exactly what I'm saying. I just want a backdoor ssh login so I can make sure it stays updated
[15:59] <wemakeyousoundba> I saw he midget do it
[16:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Andre_H Select default where you login under options
[16:00] <user___> matt_: (just to add info: you can configure the package manager to install the updates automatically)
[16:00] <ftab__> i m pissed off by this sound issue
[16:01] <ftab__> how strange it is
[16:01] <lifenova> matt_: Oh, I found it. If you go to System -> Admin -> Login Window and click the Users tab, you can choose which users are displayed on log-in
[16:01] <ftab__> and no one is helping out here
[16:01] <Jack_Sparrow> ftab__ Please stop spamming us with multiple enter  keys
[16:01] <Andre_H> Jack_Sparrow: THX, i already found it now
[16:01] <unop> matt_, there are a couple of GDM themes that allow you to select a username instead of typing it out .. and you can also configure the GDM to automatically log a  particular user on
[16:01] <Jack_Sparrow> Andre_H cool
[16:01] <ftab__> I am not man
[16:02] <ftab__> I am not sure who is bolt and who is person
[16:02] <gharz> zim: i finished scanning the windows partition and it says it has 3 infected files... does clamav clean/delete/quarantive the virus?

[16:02] <lifenova> !patience | ftab__
[16:02] <nickrud> ftab__, ubottu and the floodbots are bots; the rest are all people (or gone)

[16:03] <Photoguy> I can't seem to open port 666!
[16:03] <tereg> I need some help with this report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/320287  I'm not really sure what direction to go
[16:03] <adaptr> Photoguy: you need to sell your soul first
[16:03] <unop> gharz, it should attempt to clean, quatantine, delete - in that order
[16:03] <matt_> lifenova: That'll be great...but...I wonder if I can check those boxes right now over ssh?
[16:03] <Photoguy> Yeah, it's only funny the first time
[16:04] <Jack_Sparrow> !iptables
[16:04] <gharz> unop: it means i don't have to run any command that will clean the infected files?
[16:04] <bakarat> could my new mouse be messing up my keyboard somehow? the numpad keys are not working once i log into X (in the login screen they work fine) and they have odd behavior, for example 5 will maximize or minimize a window...

[16:06] <maxbaldwin> paul68: Why?
[16:06] <unop> paul68, see ifrename(8)
[16:06] <paul68> maxbaldwin: the reason is that I can't configure conky the correct way if I don't have wlan
[16:07] <paul68> unop: please clarify
[16:07] <unop> paul68, man 8 ifrename
[16:07] <maxbaldwin> paul68: ifrename.  run 'man ifrename'
[16:07] <maxbaldwin> oops, unop's right.
[16:07] <ftab__> Jack_Sparrow: do you know how to delete the sound drivers and then Re-Install?
[16:07] <nickrud> !ask | ftab__ (no one really has a clue what your problem is without diagnostics)
[16:08] <nickrud> ftab__, like, chipset of the sound device, etc

[16:08] <nickrud> ah, details, that's what I needed thanks Jack_Sparrow
[16:08] <Jack_Sparrow> morning nickrud

[16:08] <paul68> unop: no manual entry for  ifrename in section 8
[16:09] <Photoguy> I just want to open any three letter port, can't I do that?!
[16:09] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud we need to improve that factoid a bit too
[16:09] <Photoguy> The command doesn't seem to actually do it.
[16:09] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow, it's more on topic than what I had
[16:09] <lifenova> gmathews: what do you mean screenlet?
[16:09] <Photoguy> Widget
[16:09] <ftab__> I am running Ubuntu Intrepid and my sound is working on embedded flash players but when I tryo listen to music or videos on VLC or totem it simply doesn't work
[16:09] <gmathews> Ha anyone got Audacity to work in Intrepid - or can someone suggest an alternative?
[16:09] <Rencx> why java dosnt have sound??
[16:10] <gmathews> lifenova: like a mini screen of my window attached to my desktop so i can play my music videos with nothing open - it should just appear on the desktop
[16:10] <nickrud> ftab__, ask that way every few minutes; someone with sound knowledge will drop by
[16:10] <paul68> maxbaldwin: any other thoughts
[16:11] <annoia> Hello, I have an Audigy soundcard, and it seems to be stuck in SPDIF passthrough mode. Is there some way to unstick it?
[16:11] <lifenova> gmathews: Oh, http://www.screenlets.org/index.php/Category:UserScreenlets might have one
[16:11] <thermod> Nobody can help me about Moto4lin?

[16:12] <nite_johnboy> Hi - Accidently moved a folder and can't find it - installed Beagle plus used regular Search - still no luck - Any idea's what to try ? ?
[16:13] <user___> nite_johnboy: use the find command on the terminal: find *expected-name*
[16:14] <Rencx> why java dosnt have sound??
[16:14] <unop> nite_johnboy, a command.   find ~ iname "*folder*" -type d
[16:14] <savanik> ftab__ - I had a similar problem when setting up this box - it turned out I had too many codecs of the same type installed. You might see if you have multiple modules interfering with each other.
[16:14] <unop> user___, err no, that would do something else
[16:14] <ubuntontin> nepenthes rulez :P
[16:14] <ftab__> savanik: how do i do that
[16:14] <ftab__> I am new to linux
[16:15] <nite_johnboy> user___; thanks - can I use wildcard as well Example - file.*  OR thre*.*   ?
[16:15] <ftab__> savanik: how did you fixed your problem?
[16:15] <unop> nite_johnboy, you can use wildcards as arguments to  -name or -iname .. but they must be quoted
[16:15] <user___> unop: i see the differnce, but what would be _wrong_ about my first suggestion?
[16:16] <prince_jammys> missing starting path
[16:16] <nite_johnboy> unop; actually use quote's in terminal then?
[16:16] <unop> nite_johnboy, like this. yea.   find ~ -name "*keyword*"
[16:16] <prince_jammys> unless it's in your present dir, in which case, hey, you found it
[16:16] <Rencx> I use Java for some games but i dont have sound, how can i fix this problem?
[16:17] <nite_johnboy> unop; sweet! - will give a try - Why isn't beagle or default search that comes as standard install as good as terminal?
[16:17] <user___> prince_jammys: find *file* works fine here
[16:18] <Photoguy> I can't seem to allow any ports.
[16:18] <shesek> where does named/bind keeps his logs ?
[16:18] <lifenova> user___: that's because you're probably looking for files in the home directory, where you are
[16:18] <unop> nite_johnboy, i dunno .. it's perhaps not indexed your files just yet .. and that's why hasn't been able to find your directory
[16:18] <Photoguy> I just want to allow any three digit port!
[16:18] <user___> lifenova: got it, thanks everyone! :-)
[16:19] <emma> Anyone have any experienc with cryptsetup usb drive being automounted by Ubuntu ?
[16:19] <nite_johnboy> unop; cool - ok - thanks much - another way to use terminal to make a note of......
[16:19] <adaptr> Photoguy: you must be root to access ports below 1024
[16:19] <unop> user___,  to be honest, that's not a typical good use of find.

[16:21] <shesek> I can't find the error nowhere :\
[16:21] <ftab__> Photoguy: there is no desktop env for root in Ubuntu

[16:22] <nite_johnboy> to use

[16:22] <lifenova> se7en1: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[16:23] <se7en1> can i edit it thru windows ?
[16:23] <ftab__> Photoguy: for which process you want to open the 1024 ?
[16:23] <unop> nite_johnboy, say i was looking for a directory named  'personal_files' .. i would use find like this.   find ~ -iname "*personal*"
[16:23] <Photoguy> ftab an .exe server under Wine/
[16:23] <lifenova> se7en1: Not unless your ubuntu partition is formatted with fat32 or something
[16:24] <lifenova> se7en1: if you left it default, you can't access that file in windows (because windows can't read ext3)
[16:24] <nite_johnboy> unop; Ah - ok - takes awhile but I get eventually - heh heh - great!
[16:24] <ftab__> Photoguy: could you please be specific which server?
[16:24] <se7en1> lifenova: okay yeah i cant read it, so i go in ubuntu and open this file
[16:24] <se7en1> lifenova:what exactly do i have to change ?
[16:24] <Photoguy> Well, it's a very small one..
[16:25] <lifenova> se7en1: well there will be a list of your GRUB entries there. You can cut the whole block that refers to your Windows partition and then paste it above the ubuntu ones

[16:36] <paul68> unop: I adapted the eth1 into wlan which is good now however when I run iwconfig it doesn't show anything any thoughts?
[16:36]  * dayo just had some tasty sandwiches and beer, and is about to watch a movie.
[16:36] <n2diy> Is there a fix for gnome-panel's memory leak?
[16:37] <unop> paul68,  ifconfig -a ??
[16:37] <nite_johnboy> dayo; Oh about "Terminal notes" I meant I've been making notes on using the Terminal but have using Text Editor for this which is pretty boring - a bit frustrating at times too!
[16:37] <Aethelred> kwsn: The normal proceedure here is to just ask your question. Right now, it looks like there are more questioners than answerers.
[16:37] <amy__>  hi
[16:37] <kwsn> Aethelred: I noticed
[16:37] <nite_johnboy> dayo; Thanks for tip!
[16:37] <paul68> unop: is showing wlan

[16:38] <a931bw> How to install to my full updatet ubuntu 7.04 that theme http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Aero?content=39902  ??
[16:38] <scunizi> nite_johnboy, check out tomboy for notes (already installed) or load up Vym from the repos.. it's a mind mapping program.. makes it easier to catagorize things..
[16:38] <kwsn> this is a basic one, so I'm sort of meh asking this, but how do you log in as root? >_>
[16:38] <dayo> nite_johnboy: u're welcome! :-)
[16:38] <unop> paul68, right, you'll probably have to update your network manager to make note of the change
[16:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !eol > a931bw

When I shutdown/power off from either the gdm login screen, or shutting down after logging in, the computer will not power off completely.

[16:48] <unop> iamarockstar, you'll need to ask in ##windows on how to setup internet connection sharing on vista
[16:48] <scunizi> nite_johnboy, I really like vym.. good for all kinds of things.. however there is a bug in the one in the repos for Intrepid if you add notes to a branch.. you can compile the latest yourself . .it's pretty easy

[16:50] <unop> felix_, add something like this in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile   xset b off
[16:50] <holyguyver> Where is the true location of my trash folder in hardy?
[16:50] <Andre_H> MisterKM: you need the Guest-Programs on XP
[16:50] <unop> !trash > holyguyver
[16:50] <scunizi> MisterKM, other than the typical "right mouse click and share" in ubuntu and xp... there's something to do in vbox.. check them out at /join #vbox
[16:50] <MisterKM> ok
[16:50] <felix_> unop: thanks
[16:50] <halfgenius> hi
[16:50] <Andre_H> MisterKM: /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

[16:51] <holyguyver> unop thank you
[16:51] <unop> felix_, i've got it this way.   xset b 10 100 50  # it turns the beeps into croaks
[16:51] <yusuo> is there anyway to get the start menu from kde4 in gnome
[16:51] <scunizi> MisterKM, yes.. you also have to install guest additions  . .. but there is still yet something else.
[16:51] <unop> paul68, hmm, not sure then .. i don't really know much about conky

[16:53] <unop> paul68, i wouldn't think that would make a difference .. but i can't be sure
[16:53] <neo_188> no i dont get any prompt
[16:54] <neo_188> whats a wubi install
[16:54] <unop> paul68, i would try and start conky from the terminal... it might spit out useful messages as to what's going on

[16:55] <holyguyver> What does one type into the command line to get it to erase everything in a folder?
[16:55] <scunizi> neo_188, do you like ubuntu? do you want to stick with it ?? do you want a dual boot?  if so you might consider installing directly to the harddrive.  It will avoid this kind of issue.. .. If you're just checking it out, just reinstall the wubi thing again and it should fix it.
[16:55] <unop> felix_, you don't need a plugin .. all you need is a smart keyword

[17:00] <hofmann> Hello again! Can somebody give me detailed informtion about HAL or other event handling on gnome/kde ubuntu linux?
[17:00] <a931bw> How to install to my ubuntu  that theme http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Aero?content=39902  ??
[17:02] <M3TAPHYS1CS> a931bw, have you tried simply adding it to the 'Themes'
[17:02] <kupesoft> What's the sexiest netbook for ubuntu these days?
[17:02] <Jampiter> Hi
[17:02] <Adam-85> Hi all , I have problem with my VGA driver , My PC is Dell GX150 , VGA Intel i810 , I can not to access my graphic interface , beside that when load my live CD can use it as well
[17:02] <a931bw> i'm not idiot Yes i tryed
[17:03] <Baughn> After sufficient experimentation, I now have fourteen kernels showing up on my boot menu. Now, I could just remove the kernel packages manually, but is there any way to tell ubuntu to just keep, say, the last three?
[17:03] <Jampiter> I am upgrading from Hardy to Intrepid using the Alternate CD. It says it needs to download 1200 MB of files. Is it actually having to download these or is it getting it from the CD iso?
[17:03] <Baughn> Jampiter: Download.
[17:04] <Baughn> Jampiter: It's a good thing, though. If it got them from the CD, then it'd just proceed to replace them all on your first update after installing. :P
[17:04] <Jampiter> I was told it would get the right files from the CD. I have told it not to do any network updates and it said the network would not be used.
[17:04] <Baughn> Oh, it'll get them from the CD if they are /on/ the CD
[17:04] <alexandr> can you upgrade to intrepid through apt-get or something?
[17:04] <Baughn> But the installation CDs have a bit of a limited selection
[17:04] <Jampiter> Ok
[17:04] <Baughn> Jampiter: The real problem here is the "upgrade" part
[17:05] <Baughn> If you installed a new system, it could live with just what's on the CD
[17:05] <Jampiter> I don't want to have to download that much, as my ISP will not allow it.
[17:05] <Baughn> As it is, it isn't going to just uninstall all your programs
[17:05] <Baughn> Jampiter: Then I suggest ordering the DVD box-set
[17:05] <Jampiter> How much is that?
[17:05] <Jampiter> In GBP?
[17:05] <Baughn> Hmm
[17:05] <M3TAPHYS1CS> a931bw: sorry if i offended you but i just installed that theme by simply dragging the archive into my themes
[17:06] <Baughn> Well, the CD is free, but that's what you already have. Let me check
[17:06] <sattam> hi , did any one take ubuntu proffesional support  ?
[17:06] <user___> Jampiter: linuxcd.org f.e.
[17:06] <Baughn> Jampiter: https://shop.canonical.com/index.php?cPath=17 <-- 5 pounds for a twenty-pack
[17:07] <dzzz> hi, i have a problem setting up my canon lbp 430 on ubuntu server.  Can anybody help?
[17:07] <Jampiter> Ah. Is there a way just to order one of them?
[17:07] <Baughn> Jampiter: ..er, actually that is just one. Oops.
[17:07] <Baughn> Still, it's just five pounds. A bargain. :P
[17:07] <Jampiter> Heh :p
[17:07] <Baughn> Jampiter: Alternately , find someone with a decent ISP to burn it for you
[17:07] <Jampiter> Ok
[17:07] <user___> wow thats cheap
[17:08] <Baughn> user___: And why would it cost more?
[17:08] <Baughn> Actually, it isn't that cheap; there's postage too

[17:10] <Jampiter> Sky Broadband Baughn
[17:10] <M3TAPHYS1CS> a931bw, that theme will install fine by dragging the archive into your themes..I just done it a few minutes ago with the theme from the link you provided
[17:10] <yusuo> a931bw i can show u how to get emerald working properly if you want
[17:10] <Baughn> slongon: One of the pages I read to get there suggested you'd get twenty copies from each order. Apparently not.
[17:10] <yusuo> Jampiter ure with sky
[17:10] <Baughn> (It'd make sense, though. Pressing DVDs is practically free.)
[17:10] <slongon> Baughn: Ok, thanks.
[17:10] <Baughn> Jampiter: I'm not familiar with that one. Satellite link?
[17:11] <a931bw> i'm can't launch desctop effects to
[17:11] <Jampiter> yusuo: Yes
[17:11] <a931bw> But drivers is enabled
[17:11] <a931bw> and video is support's it
[17:11] <Jampiter> Baughn: No, regular broadband with a download limit ¬_¬
[17:11] <Baughn> Jampiter: Oh, and FYI: While the dvd does contain all the /official/ /ubuntu/ software, the wider universe of debian software wouldn't fit on ten DVDs. Still, it should cover most of it.
[17:12] <luke_> I'm using Kubuntu and trying to change my grub usplash but when i go to the tool in system settings it says /boot/grub/menu.lst does not exist! is this as simple as creating that file?
[17:12] <yusuo> i found out today if you want to flash ure router they ban you, also you cant run another router unless its running through the sky one
[17:12] <Baughn> Jampiter: A.. one-gigabyte download limit? o_O
[17:12] <Jampiter> Ok
[17:12] <Baughn> Can that even be called broadband?
[17:12] <a931bw> Restarting
[17:13] <Jampiter> Baughn: It's more than that, but it's still utter pants.
[17:13] <Jampiter> Besides, I don't want to use it all up
[17:13] <yusuo> luke_ /boot/grub/menu.lst doesnt change usplash it just control what os you boot into
[17:13] <Jampiter> Ah well, I'll do it anyway
[17:14] <Baughn> Jampiter: I'd heard rumors about the conditions in england, but that's worse than I thought
[17:14] <yusuo> ijm on unlimited sky broadband i better not have a download limit, i think ive downloaded more than a gb in the past few days
[17:14] <Baughn> Jampiter: (Heh. Rumors indeed, since you don't allow foreign reporters in.. what's with that?)
[17:14] <ericrost> Can XFS be used on top of LVM? I'm looking at future scalability for a media server
[17:14] <Baughn> ericrost: Sure

[17:14] <ericrost> Baughn: any pointers to a good guide?

[17:14] <yusuo> anyone have any odeas how i can get the kde start menu in gnome
[17:15] <ericrost> to xfs and lvm used together
[17:15] <Baughn> ericrost: Oh. Nothing special for that.
[17:15] <holyguyver> What do I do whenever rm -rf * is unable to delete something?
[17:15] <Baughn> You just treat the LVM volume as any other partition.
[17:15] <Andre_Gondim> what is wrong here:  sox 10\ -\ Pink\ Floyd\ -\ Pigs\ \(Three\ Different\ Ones\).ogg 10\ -\ Pink\ Floyd\ -\ Pigs\ \(Three\ Different\ Ones\).wav

[17:16] <Baughn> Jampiter: From where I'm sitting, your country looks like some sort of police nation. No offense, but as slippery slopes go, yours is covered in ball bearings.
[17:16] <ericrost> is LVM built into the ubuntu partitioner now?
[17:16] <Baughn> ericrost: To some degree
[17:16] <yusuo> holyguyver sudo nautilus in terminal, u'll get a new window with out any theme applied to it, find ure file there and delete it
[17:16] <Baughn> holyguyver: Tell me the last few lines of dmesg output

[17:17] <yusuo> scunizi i want the start menu from kde4 in gnome or something similar
[17:17] <Baughn> holyguyver: I/O error is usually a /baad/ thing, but it might just be FS corruption
[17:17] <scunizi> yusuo, if you want a single icon to access the menu like kde/kubuntu then right mouse click the bar and "add" you'll see an option for it.  It won't have a "K" on it like kubunut
[17:17] <ericrost> ok, thanks for the quick info, back to researching it, just wanted to make sure I wasn't off in the weeds with my idea
[17:17] <ericrost> :_)
[17:17] <Baughn> Jampiter: Norway
[17:17] <yusuo> scunizi i domt wanna change the button thats easy i want to change the entire look of the start menu
[17:17] <holyguyver> Baughn, what will dmesg check?
[17:17] <IndyGunFreak> !gksudo > yusuo
[17:17] <Baughn> holyguyver: It just prints the kernel log
[17:17] <Baughn> holyguyver: The last few messages should be relevant
[17:18] <holyguyver> Baughn, how will that give any useful information?
[17:18] <scunizi> yusuo, add "Main Menu" and see if that works for you..
[17:18] <Jampiter> Baughn: I never knew the UK didn't let in foreign reporters
[17:18] <yusuo> ok gksudo but ive never had a problem with just sudo nautilus to get rid of items
[17:18] <Photoguy> Is there a way to use a port for something diffrent? I need a certain port, but it's already in use.
[17:18] <Baughn> Jampiter: Well, not ours anyhow..
[17:18] <Baughn> Jampiter: It seems to be a recent condition. Something to do with possible terrorist involvment, or some similar nonsense.
[17:18] <Adam-85> Hi all , I have problem with my VGA driver , My PC is Dell GX150 , VGA Intel i810 , I can not to access my graphic interface , beside that when load my live CD can use it as well
[17:18] <yusuo> scunizi, i want it to look more like vista than xp
[17:19] <Baughn> holyguyver: It'll tell me whether the error is caused by hardware failure, FS corruption, or maybe something more benign.
[17:19] <Baughn> holyguyver: So, if you'd please, the dmesg output?
[17:19] <Adam-85> Can any one fix it plz ?
[17:19] <Jampiter> Baughn: Possibly. If there's one thing the UK government is very cautious about (And rightly so), it's terrorism
[17:19] <scunizi> yusuo, ah.. like kubuntu (intrepid 8.10)
[17:19] <holyguyver> Baughn, this is not on my primary harddrive, nor is it on any internal harddrives.
[17:19] <yusuo> yeah
[17:19] <Jampiter> Baughn: Although I can't see why that would stop foreign reporters
[17:19] <d600sound> Hello, I've got a Dell D600 laptop; my sound works, but the volume controls on the laptop do not control the actual volume. I'm not sure what they control, how do I change this?
[17:19] <yusuo> the new start menu in kubuntu i want that in gnome
[17:19] <Jampiter> being allowed in
[17:20] <holyguyver> Baughn, & plus I know what is causing the error
[17:20] <Adam-85> Hi all , I have problem with my VGA driver , My PC is Dell GX150 , VGA Intel i810 , I can not to access my graphic interface , beside that when load my live CD can use it as well
[17:20] <Photoguy> Is there a way to use a port for something different? I need a certain port, but it's already in use.
[17:20] <Baughn> Photoguy: Define "port"
[17:21] <Photoguy> Sorry, networking, I need 666
[17:21] <scunizi> yusuo, I don't know how to do that.. I remember taht there is something available.. but can't remember the name or where I saw it.
[17:21] <holyguyver> Baughn, this harddrive was dropped onto the floor from 4  feet in the air.
[17:21] <Baughn> holyguyver: ..right. Hardware error indeed.
[17:21] <yusuo> theres one called gimme i wanna install
[17:22] <yusuo> but i done ./configure and it says it cant find a make file
[17:22] <Adam-85> Jack_Sparrow:  Can help he to fix my VGA driver
[17:22] <holyguyver> Baughn, so any commands I can use to delete this folder? :p
[17:22] <Baughn> holyguyver: If you get an I/O error on deleting the file, and you're pretty sure it's caused by actual physical drive damage, then you're basically screwed.
[17:22] <Photoguy> Baughn: Sorry, networking, I need 666, or 6667
[17:22] <jamiejackson> my thumb drive is all of a sudden read only today. know what the problem is?
[17:22] <Photoguy> *667
[17:22] <Baughn> holyguyver: Copy all your data off that drive while you still can
[17:22] <scunizi> yusuo, gimmie is in the repos.. look in synaptic.. should be a 2 click install and no compiling
[17:22] <gerber> elp how to connecting to another computer over the internet using remote destop connection just like xp pls help,thank you
[17:22] <Baughn> Photoguy: You can't have it, then. Only one process is allowed to listen to a port at a time.
[17:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Adam-85 Sorry, busy getting some work done
[17:23] <holyguyver> Baughn, already done, I copied all of my data off of it a year & a half ago when I dropped it.
[17:23] <Jack_Sparrow> jamiejackson unclean umount
[17:23] <Photoguy> Baughn, well are all of them taken under 1024?
[17:23] <Baughn> Photoguy: (If that wasn't the case, it'd be impossible for the kernel to tell which program is supposed to have the incoming messages)
[17:23] <Adam-85> Jack_Sparrow:  ok ,
[17:23] <jamiejackson> Jack_Sparrow: what's the cure?
[17:23] <Baughn> Photoguy: No, but only root is allowed tolisten to ports < 1024
[17:23] <Adam-85> Any one help me to fix my VGA Driver plz
[17:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Photoguy Perhaps you should tell people what program you are trying to setupo
[17:23] <Photoguy> Right, but I allowed them.
[17:24] <d600sound> ah, I figured it out. Sound Preferences -> Default Mixer Tracks. Thanks anyway!
[17:24] <Baughn> holyguyver: If you really want to push your luck, then I suggest doing a "cat /dev/zero > /dev/disk-wahtever"
[17:24] <Jack_Sparrow> jamiejackson force mount or insert in windoes and remove cleanly
[17:24] <d600sound> bye!
[17:24] <holyguyver> Baughn, I am trying to refurbish this drive & I am trying to wipe that folder without reformating :p
[17:24] <evil-doer> so is wubi broken or something? every time i go to try ubuntu it fails and i cant even boot
[17:24] <Baughn> holyguyver: That'll cause the disk controller to remap as many sectors as possible, if the damage is reasonably localized
[17:24] <jamiejackson> okay, will go the windows route.
[17:24] <holyguyver> Baughn, what will that command do?
[17:24] <Photoguy> Jack_sparrow, it's a small .exe server under Wine, that you've probably never heard of.
[17:24] <Guest244> oh hai
[17:24] <Baughn> holyguyver: Wipe the disk.
[17:24] <a931bw> Why my effects don't running?
[17:24] <gerber> help how to connecting to another computer over the internet using remote destop connection just like xp pls help,thank you
[17:24] <Baughn> holyguyver: If you get an I/O error on *write*, then the disk is dead.
[17:24] <yusuo>  scunizi its not in sypnatic
[17:24] <a931bw> I'm getting White screen
[17:24] <Baughn> holyguyver: But an I/O error on read can just mean that single sector is dead, and will be remapped on write
[17:25] <SamIam> anyone know why my browser window locks itself to the top of the screen, so that I can't see the top bar?
[17:25] <Baughn> holyguyver: Deleting a file involves both reading and writing, so that's no good as a test
[17:25] <scunizi> yusuo, I just looked it up on my hardy install.. no problem.. let me check intrepid
[17:25] <evil-doer> i did a wubi install, rebooted, chose ubuntu, it did its install thing, it rebooted, i chose ubuntu. and i get this screen here.. http://i43.tinypic.com/14c8doh.jpg  anyone know whats going on?
[17:25] <Adam-85> Hi all , I have problem with my VGA driver , My PC is Dell GX150 , VGA Intel i810 , I can not to access my graphic interface , but when load my live CD can use it as well with graphic interface
[17:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Photoguy Until now you never mentioned wine.. so the better your questions the better the answers
[17:25] <kingbilly> i want to use remote desktop across the internet to two computers both being NAT'd...  i have an ubuntu VPS in canada, could i set up a proxy or tunnel on it?
[17:25] <holyguyver> Baughn, all files & folders I can write & read from that disk, the only problem folder is that one.
[17:25] <Baughn> holyguyver: Do it anyway. There may be more problems you just haven'T found yet.
[17:26] <Baughn> holyguyver: You really don't have a choice in this..
[17:26] <gerber> help how to connecting to another computer over the internet using remote destop connection just like xp pls help,thank you
[17:26] <LeonBrussels> Hi, I want to install *buntu on an eeePc 701. I will put netbook remix on there, the question is if xubuntu boots faster than ubuntu. Boot time is really important for me
[17:26] <Photoguy> Ok, is it possible to cancel use of a port, so nothing is using it, then use it for my own thing? (root user of course)
[17:26] <Baughn> holyguyver: Anyway, if the disk-wipe fails, /then/ the disk is dead. If it doesn't, due to the way it was damaged, it might still last for years. Probably won't, but it might.
[17:26] <holyguyver> Baughn, I have already deleted & re-written every single file & folder on that disk with the exception of that one, which ist does allow me to move around, from folder to folder, just not to delete.
[17:27] <gerber> help how to connecting to another computer over the internet using remote destop connection just like xp pls help,thank you
[17:27] <aldipc> question: I am running ubuntu on <IP_ADDRESS> behind a NAT DSL-router, ever since I installed a bittorrent client and opened up two ports in the 50000+ port rang I have been getting portrequests on my firestarter firewall tool on port 6881, now since I don't have port forwarding or upnp turned on for port 6881 my question is: WHY does my dsl router forward these port requests to my box??! clearly it can't be a connection initiated from my
[17:27] <aldipc>  own box because then the firewall would not block the port, so what is going on? please help!
[17:27] <Baughn> holyguyver: Do you really want me to start delving into the details of filesystem data structures and inodes?
[17:27] <user___> kingbilly: hmm, what about vnc over ssh
[17:27] <Mordred> how do i decrease the size of my pidgin buddy list, it wont let me make it smaller
[17:27] <holyguyver> Baughn, if you want, though I think it will be a waste of time
[17:27] <geirha> Photoguy: try « sudo netstat -nap | grep 666 » The last field should be the pid/name of the process using that port
[17:27] <Photoguy> Jack_Sparrow: Ok, is it possible to cancel use of a port, so nothing is using it, then use it for my own thing? (root user of course)
[17:27] <digitalpsyko> hey fellas, i just ordered a 64gig ssd for my laptop, i plan on running 8.10Intrepid 64bit on it, is there any thing i should know about runinng ubuntu on an ssd, any tweaks or anything i should do, has anyone had an issues with ubuntu on them
[17:27] <digitalpsyko> ???
[17:27] <Baughn> holyguyver: It would. The correct solution is to wipe the disk. :P
[17:28] <gerber> help how to connecting to another computer over the internet using remote destop connection just like xp pls help,thank you
[17:28] <Baughn> holyguyver: What have you got to lose?
[17:28] <holyguyver> Baughn, you are not understanding me, I just said I already did that.
[17:28] <a931bw> Why my effects don't running?
[17:28] <user___> gerber: vnc
[17:28] <Baughn> holyguyver: No, you said you used rm -rf to delete files
[17:28] <Photoguy> geirha, I'll try that
[17:28] <yusuo> i had the same problem holyguyver and what i told u to do to start off with solved my problem
[17:28] <a931bw> Why my effects don't running?
[17:28] <gerber> where can i get vnc
[17:28] <evil-doer> i did a wubi install, rebooted, chose ubuntu, it did its install thing, it rebooted, i chose ubuntu. and i get this screen here.. http://i43.tinypic.com/14c8doh.jpg  anyone know whats going on?
[17:28] <yusuo> it said it was read only even though it wasnt, would let me move directry etc but not delete
[17:29] <jamiejackson> that worked for my thumbdrive, Jack_Sparrow, thx
[17:29] <olivier_> Does someone know how to log in gdm using VNC ?
[17:29] <holyguyver> yusuo, I believe you & I have different problems.
[17:29] <kingbilly> user___: that will work behind to nat routers
[17:29] <Mordred> how do i decrease the size of my pidgin buddy list, it wont let me make it smaller
[17:29] <user___> !vnc > gerber
[17:29] <Baughn> holyguyver: rm -rf does *not* wipe the disk. It does lots of point changes, but itonly touches the metadata.
[17:29] <Baughn> holyguyver: And more to the point, it'll *read* inodes before deleting them
[17:29] <SamIam> Anyone know why my firefox window locks itself to the top of the screen?
[17:29] <Photoguy> geirha, so this: sudo netstat -nap | grep 666 winedevice.exe    ?
[17:29] <Baughn> holyguyver: Since they may have multiple links, in which case it isn't suppsoed to delete them. Reference-counting and all.
[17:30] <Baughn> holyguyver: Most likely scenario: The inode pointing at that single file has a bad sector
[17:30] <holyguyver> Baughn, I never said I removed all of the files with that command. I only used that command to try & delete that 1 folder. I removed all of the other files in konqueror by sending them to the trash :p
[17:30] <yusuo> evil-doer, i had this for a while while trying to boot inot a live cd, i downloaded a new copy and reinstalled worked fine
[17:30] <yusuo> i think its a problem with the disk reading something or another vague i know
[17:30] <Baughn> holyguyver: When you try to delete the file, the kernel will read it first in order to check its link count, which will fail due to the bad sector
[17:30] <user___> kingbilly: if you tell the person behind nat to initiate i would think yes
[17:31] <Baughn> holyguyver: If it'd just write to the sector, the disk would probably find a spare sector to use instead. But it won't do that.
[17:31] <mini-man> I just defragged and my problems with my wubi install being sluggish after a few hours of uptime aren't really resolved, and looking around google I found someone had luck with pci-nomsi - is that something that might work?
[17:31] <mini-man> or is it pointless?
[17:31] <user___> kingbilly: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-10sysadtips/?S_TACT=105AGX54&S_CMP=C0115&ca=dnw-1002&open&cm_mmc=4633-_-n-_-vrm_newsletter-_-10731_101108&cmibm_em=dm:0:6992641
[17:31] <Baughn> holyguyver: The only solution is to do a full wipe by writing to every sector on the disk without reading them first
[17:31] <geirha> Photoguy: the process using port 666 is winedevice.exe?
[17:31] <scunizi> yusuo, Interesting.. it's in hardy but not in intrepid.. maybe they incorporated it somehow as another name.
[17:31] <holyguyver> Baughn, I said earlier that it has allowed me to move that folder several times from within different folders to other folders.
[17:31] <yusuo> maybe
[17:31] <Photoguy> Oh, that's the one I want it to use.
[17:31] <Baughn> holyguyver: Nothing you can do to the mounted filesystem will do that, but a cat /dev/zero > t<the block device> will
[17:31] <Baughn> holyguyver: The folder is a different inode
[17:32] <SamIam> anyone know why firefox window locks at maximum size and cannot be changed?
[17:32] <yusuo> scunizi thanks anyway, google isnt helping i guess kde and start menu are common searches
[17:32] <Baughn> holyguyver: More to the point, moving a folder does not in any way change the folder, it just changes whatever folder you're moving from and to
[17:32] <Photoguy> geirha, Wineserver.exe is the process that I want to use with 666
[17:32] <holyguyver> Baughn, I think you are caught up so much in thinking that it is one thing that you are not even listening to me any more.
[17:32] <jtaji> SamIam: try hitting F11 a few times in Firefox
[17:32] <Baughn> holyguyver: Then can you get me the dmesg output I asked for half an hour ago
[17:33] <SamIam> k
[17:33] <Baughn> It'd prove it without a doubt, one way or the other.
[17:33] <holyguyver> Do I have to type in anything special to tell it which external harddrive to look at?
[17:33] <Baughn> No
[17:33] <Baughn> It's just the kernel log
[17:33] <Baughn> Do whatever delete operation fails again, then run dmesg and it'll be the last few lines in the log
[17:33] <SamIam> jtaji that did it, thanks!
[17:33] <yusuo> anyone know why 8.10 spits out disks when i try and burn a iso image input/output error
[17:34] <digitalpsyko> anyone in here using a Solid State Disk with 8.10?
[17:34] <geirha> Photoguy: the netstat command lists all ports that are currently used. With -nap, it also lists which processes are using them. I understood it as such that your program didn't work because that port was already in use?
[17:34] <kingbilly> user___: we are both behind nat, would that be a problem?  thanks for the link
[17:34] <Photoguy> geirha, yes
[17:34] <kingbilly> user___: i could def use the info from this link for other things too
[17:34] <jonaskoelker> hi.  I'm trying to use foxyproxy (apt-get installed), but get "Error writing settings file: /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.5/foxyproxy.xml. [...]".  What gives?
[17:34] <geirha> Photoguy: then the following should list the process (last field) which is using it. « netstat -nap | grep 666 »
[17:35] <user___> kingbilly: both behind nat i have no hands on experience so i would refer you to the group, sorry
[17:35] <holyguyver> Baughn, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/109048/
[17:35] <user___> kingbilly: yes, the title "10 most.." is valid
[17:35] <Baughn> holyguyver: Yeah, that's what I thought
[17:36] <Photoguy> geirha, sorry so "netstat -nap process_name grep 666
[17:36] <Baughn> holyguyver: As you see, there are a bunch of read errors, to different sectors
[17:36] <vigo> jonaskoelker: Just use the add plugins from within firefox.
[17:36] <Baughn> holyguyver: Importantly, to you, there are no /write/ errors. This means it's probably recoverable.
[17:36] <SodaKiller> ping?
[17:36] <holyguyver> Baughn, So, how well did it servive that fall?
[17:36] <geirha> Photoguy: no, exactly as I typed it: netstat -nap | grep 666
[17:37] <Baughn> holyguyver: (As I said, altering an inode in any way involves reading it first. Moving a directory around does not require altering the inode, though, just the parent inode that's probably fine.)
[17:37] <Baughn> holyguyver: Hmm. I can't tell from just that, you know. :P
[17:37] <Baughn> holyguyver: Looks like a head crash, but not a very serious one
[17:37] <SodaKiller> hello gents and perhaps ladies.
[17:38] <Baughn> holyguyver: Anyway. As root, type cat /dev/zero > /dev/sdg. If that succeeds (no i/o errors; no output at all, in fact), then your disk should be usable.
[17:38] <Baughn> holyguyver: At that point, however, you should run smartctl (smartctl -a /dev/sdg), paste its output and i'll interpret it for you. That'll give me some idea how long it'Ll last.
[17:38] <geirha> Photoguy: it should show you the pid and the name of the process using it now. With that information you can kill that process so that the port is freed up for your own program.
[17:39] <holyguyver> Baughn, I paid OnTrack 1600$ to get my data off of it, & they did, but now a year & a half later I want to try & use this harddrive too, so I am trying to refurbish it.
[17:39] <Baughn> holyguyver: Well, I've given you the instructions to do so, so..
[17:39] <holyguyver> Baughn, there is just one thing that prevents me from doing your instructions
[17:40] <Baughn> That would be?
[17:40] <SodaKiller> can somebody help me with dns?  i have webmin installed, and have 1 domain working fine with bind9, in webmin if i want to host another domain, do i have to create "Master Zone" ? (i've already got the apache side done)
[17:40] <tijoev> aloha, Iam trying to build xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.4.1-1ubuntu10_i386.deb. I have put deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid main into mu source.list but when I run apt-get install I receive a package not found error. How do I install a .deb with apt-get?
[17:40] <lstarnes> tijoev: use sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb
