[09:59] <Creed> Just want to say a BIG THANK YOU to cjracker and nickrud :) Got everything working perfectly!
[10:00] <Jesus> |brad|, oh, I have heard that that's a dist with chest hair.
[10:00] <cjracker> hmm telnet from the box on the outside to those ports
[10:00] <|brad|> Jesus, haha
[10:00] <|brad|> Jesus, i used it for 6 years
[10:00] <fatcatmatt> WOOT! another successful clean install of ubuntu!
[10:01] <Jesus> |brad|, wow... I have used linux for 3 :-/
[10:01] <|brad|> fatcatmatt, did you have to reinstall?
[10:01] <cjracker> like telnet <IP_ADDRESS> 40024 from a host upstream of this router, or using the router itself
[10:01] <fatcatmatt> |brad|: yes, i installed, but check this out, during the live session, i installed flash on it and the youtube videos ran fine
[10:01] <|brad|> Jesus, ive always wanted to install gentoo. the emerge system seems pretty cool
[10:01] <orb> hai :)
[10:01] <cjracker> see if it  increases the count for that second rule
[10:02] <|brad|> fatcatmatt, youtube vids always jack me up too
[10:02] <fatcatmatt> im just gonna stick away from them, but the sad thing is, google uses them :( |brad|
[10:02] <Jesus> |brad|, I like it a lot! And when you just brought a 2 GHz Core2 Duo, the compilations don't take too long :-)
[10:02] <orb> swarm, you there?
[10:02] <swarm> yup
[10:02] <orb> so I'm in x now
[10:02] <swarm> looks like it worked
[10:02] <orb> yeah
[10:02] <|brad|> Jesus, using 64bit?
[10:02] <swarm> k, good.
[10:03] <swarm> now...
[10:03] <orb> now the aids starts
[10:03] <swarm> hehe
[10:03] <swarm> tell me your linux experience level please
[10:03] <Jesus> |brad|, no... I had some bad experience with 64-bits earlier, so I changed back. Will try it again at some later time.
[10:03] <orb> 0
[10:03] <orb> lol
[10:03] <onats> is there anyway to upgrade to gutsy gibbon when im booted using feisty?
[10:03] <swarm> so i know whether to explain everything
[10:03] <swarm> ok, cool :)
[10:03] <orb> explain everything
[10:03] <|brad|> Jesus, yea, haha same thing here
[10:04] <swarm> btw, are you a member of overclock.net? usually people with a rig like yours are
[10:04] <Creed> onats, add the gutsy repos and do apt-get dist-upgrade I believe
[10:04] <orb> nope, though I do overclock when I've got cold enough environments
[10:04] <swarm> cool :)
[10:04] <onats> Creed, ok thanks, will look up the repos!
[10:04] <orb> ;)
[10:04] <swarm> alrighty. lets get those graphics going
[10:04] <fatcatmatt> |brad|: now i am just getting everything set back up
[10:04] <orb> can't wait :D
[10:04] <swarm> http://albertomilone.com/ubuntu/nvidia/scripts/envy_0.9.7-0ubuntu8_all.deb
[10:05] <swarm> download that.
[10:05] <orb> k
[10:05] <Creed> onats, you can even mount the gutsy CD ISO (or stick the cd into your drive) and just dist-upgrade, no need to add repos :)
[10:05] <orb> now run it or soemthing?
[10:05] <swarm> go to a terminal
[10:05] <|brad|> one of these days im gonna set it up so that /home is a nfs mount
[10:05] <swarm> how fast is your internet connection?
[10:05] <orb> college internet fast
[10:05] <onats> i still don't have a copy of the CD ISO.. so i guess the shorter way would be to upgrade via repos...
[10:05] <orb> aka uber fast
[10:05] <swarm> excellent
[10:06] <swarm> type into terminal: sudo aptitude update
[10:06] <ompaul> !manuals | orb
[10:06] <ubotu> orb: manuals is for an introduction and a bit more on how to get the best out of your ubuntu install please check out https://help.ubuntu.com/
[10:06] <swarm> aptitude is a package manager, it will assist you in installing stuff and keeping your system up to date
[10:06] <swarm> sudo means to run it as root.
[10:06] <swarm> and update just means "check all my software, update it if needed"
[10:07] <ricardo> hi all
[10:07] <orb> oops
[10:07] <ricardo> hi all
[10:07] <swarm> ;)
[10:07] <orb> i closed the wrong terminal
[10:07] <swarm> lol
[10:07] <sukuro> Good Morning
[10:07] <orb> so what was that command again
[10:07] <sukuro> hi all
[10:07] <|brad|> sukuro, whats up
[10:07] <swarm> sudo aptitude update
[10:07] <orb> ah k done :)
[10:07] <sukuro> just chillin
[10:07] <Creed> How can I see whats running on port 8080?
[10:08] <swarm> it went through a huge list of stuff?
[10:08] <orb> yeah
[10:08] <jacobat> Creed: netstat is your friend IIRC
[10:08] <swarm> good :)
[10:08] <swarm> ok, that file you downloaded.
[10:08] <swarm> run it
[10:08] <ricardo> what is the shortcuts for the desktop effect?
[10:08] <swarm> double click it
[10:08] <Creed> jacobat, heh never did figure out how to use netstat :(
[10:08] <orb> k
[10:08] <jacobat> Creed: man netstat :)
[10:08] <orb> click "install package" ?
[10:08] <|brad|> Creed, netstat -tap | grep 8080 then find the PID then ps -ef | grep <PID>
[10:08] <swarm> yup
[10:08] <ricardo> what is the shortcuts for the desktop effect?
[10:08] <ricardo> efeects?
[10:08] <Creed> |brad|, thanks! :) Both you you :)
[10:08] <ricardo> effects
[10:09] <cjracker> did we get it kjro
[10:09] <swarm> also, orb, lots of people are going to give you advice to download "automatix" to install some simple things. don't do it!
[10:09] <orb> orly?
[10:09] <swarm> although it was an ok thought, the software is poorly implemented.
[10:09] <swarm> people will argue with me about this all day. you've been warned. :)
[10:09] <orb> okay
[10:09] <ChocoCid> so i'm on feisty, how do i get the cube to work in compiz?
[10:09] <swarm> it installed?
[10:09] <orb> it's asking me to insert my installation cd
[10:10] <orb> hold on
[10:10] <swarm> eck.
[10:10] <orb> k it's working now
[10:10] <astro76> swarm, haha no arguments in here, automatix is a nightmare ;)
[10:10] <swarm> :)
[10:10] <fatcatmatt> what a night...well...1:10am here now
[10:10] <ompaul> !automatix
[10:10] <ubotu> Automatix2 is a block of code which attempts to install some software.  When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it.  A creditable analysis from a debian/ubuntu developer is here - http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html (Additional information: /msg ubotu worksforme)
[10:10] <swarm> thanks for the backup astro76 ;)
[10:10] <orb> 4:10 here
[10:10] <orb> am
[10:10] <Creed> Another thing, update-rc.d <scriptname> defaults is used to update bootscripts, how would I remove them?
[10:10] <orb> k i installed envy
[10:10] <ompaul> !envy
[10:10] <ubotu> envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[10:10] <fatcatmatt> dang orb...east coast?
[10:11] <orb> yep
[10:11] <swarm> orb, top left -- applications > system tools > envy
[10:11] <orb> colorful layout :)
[10:11] <onats> Creed, do you know the repo?
[10:11] <ricardo> what is the shortcuts for the desktop effect?
[10:11] <fatcatmatt> chococid: put beryl on there
[10:11] <ompaul> orb, the easy way to do your drivers is System Administration Restricted Drivers --
[10:11] <ChocoCid> so i'm on feisty, how do i get the cube to work in compiz? I've got 4 desktops but i can't flip them with control-alt-mouseclick
[10:11] <swarm> obviously "install the nvidia driver"
[10:11] <CyberCod> happy Software Freedom Day everyone!
[10:11] <ChocoCid> fatcatmatt: i'm using the default "desktop effects" thing
[10:11] <ChocoCid> !desktopeffects
[10:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about desktopeffects - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:11] <orb> k
[10:12] <ompaul> !envy | swarm
[10:12] <ubotu> swarm: envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[10:12] <orb> i clicked apply, shitloads of stuff is going through the terminal
[10:12] <Creed> onats, sorry, I do not :( I just use the ISO (14MBps connection).
[10:12] <fatcatmatt> chocokid: beryl and it's pushing your scroll wheel on the mouse down or scrolling it to change
[10:12] <swarm> orb, ignore that what ompaul said. the 8800gtx is a bit harder to install, and i bet he didn't know that the restricted driver doesnt work :)
[10:12] <steelwolf> Hi after installing ubuntu, im unable to get a graphical mode,what should i do?
[10:12] <fatcatmatt> chocokid: doesn't work with default desktop effects
[10:12] <ChocoCid> fatcatmatt: uh, there's a cube plugin in compiz
[10:12] <orb> k, btw someone just mentioned beryl... I assume that will work with the 8800?
[10:12] <orb> i was planning on installing it once i got ubuntu up
[10:12] <swarm> yes, but beryl is outdated
[10:12] <orb> hrm
[10:12] <swarm> i'll show you compiz fusion
[10:12] <swarm> same thing
[10:12] <swarm> ;)
[10:12] <fatcatmatt> chococid: the check box thing for the "enable desktop effects" window?
[10:12] <orb> kay
[10:13] <ChocoCid> yes
[10:13] <ChocoCid> and i've hit enable cube as well
[10:13] <swarm> hold ctrl+alt+arrow keys, ChocoCid
[10:13] <fatcatmatt> chococid: that's only when you scroll your mouse, it looks like it's on a cube
[10:13] <ChocoCid> swarm: i'm trying that
[10:13] <steelwolf> Hi after installing ubuntu, im unable to get a graphical mode,what should i do?
[10:13] <swarm> orb, k, is it done?
[10:13] <ChocoCid> i remember i *used* to have it working on an old install of feisty, but i had to change something before it would work
[10:13] <orb> not quite
[10:13] <fatcatmatt> just put beryl on, chococid
[10:13] <swarm> k :)
[10:13] <orb> now it is
[10:13] <orb> it's asking
[10:13] <ChocoCid> i had to switch a 1 and 4 somewhere and i can't remember where the hell in gconf-editor those are
[10:14] <orb> if i want my xorg.conf to be automatically configured
[10:14] <swarm> yes, let it configure xorg.conf
[10:14] <swarm> ;)
[10:14] <orb> k
[10:14] <swarm> then reboot without the recovery console.
[10:14] <slimjimflim> i don't know if this is better #apache material, but i've been asking in both channels... i just set up a virtualhost, and even though i set it to a different document root than the original site, it mirrors the first one. can somebody help?
[10:14] <orb> asking if i should restart
[10:14] <orb> okay
[10:14] <orb> i'll brb hopefully :)
[10:14] <swarm> if it doesn't work
[10:14] <steelwolf> Hi after installing ubuntu, im unable to get a graphical mode,what should i do? it's stating some error in xserver conf
[10:14] <swarm> come back here IN the recovery console
[10:14] <orb> how do I do that
[10:14] <swarm> same way you've been doing it?
[10:14] <orb> oh you mean go to startx again
[10:14] <orb> okay
[10:15] <swarm> yup
[10:15] <orb> alright brb
[10:15] <fatcatmatt> im just sitting here installing virtualbox :)
[10:15] <steelwolf> Hi after installing ubuntu, im unable to get a graphical mode,what should i do? it's stating some error in xserver conf
[10:15] <swarm> steelwolf, nvidia card?
[10:15] <ChocoCid> ah, got it anyway
[10:15] <steelwolf> yes nvidia card
[10:15] <fatcatmatt> nvidia-glx
[10:15] <ChocoCid> apps-compiz-general-screen0-options, number_of_desktops needs to be 1, hsize needs to be 4
[10:15] <swarm> steelwolf, google it, it's been covered 10000000 times. :) try ubuntuforums.org
[10:16] <ChocoCid> they're backwards :p
[10:16] <steelwolf> what to search for?
[10:16] <fatcatmatt> im tellin ya, chococid, beryl makes life much easier
[10:16] <swarm> "nvidia ubuntu"
[10:16] <steelwolf> and what about wireless card drivers
[10:16] <ChocoCid> fatcatmatt: and i have compiz working
[10:16] <swarm> same thing...
[10:16] <ChocoCid> it just comes by default with 2 values backwards in feisty :p
[10:16] <swarm> go read ubuntuforums.org
[10:16] <ChocoCid> i just couldn't remember where they were
[10:16] <fatcatmatt> beryl's better :)  diff name, sounds better
[10:16] <swarm> you'll need to learn to search and find answers if you are going to want to be in the ubuntu world. hehe
[10:17] <ChocoCid> fatcatmatt: beryl got merged into compiz
[10:17] <Zweisteine> Hello! I'm trying to debootstrap an ubuntu feisty fawn system (i386) from my current feisty fawn system (amd64). I've set up everything according to the howto in the documentation and everything worked, even networking, until I rebooted into that system to see if it works (it did). Now I chrooted again and it doesn't resolve hostnames, although pinging an IP address works. I did write my nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf. What could be the problem?
[10:17] <fatcatmatt> compiz merged into beryl!  HWA!
[10:18] <steelwolf> swarm,i'm using a workstation graphic card, quadro fx 570m, is it supported as well?
[10:18] <swarm> i am unsure, steelwolf
[10:18] <orb> didn't work :(
[10:18] <warbler> steelwolf: at the prompt type type - sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg - choose defaults except at video card - choose vesa then.
[10:18] <swarm> orb, what specifically happened?
[10:18] <orb> same thing as always, just a black screen after that kernel active text
[10:18] <swarm> hmm
[10:19] <cjracker> what does your resolv.conf look like, Zweisteine ?
[10:19] <swarm> in the top right of your screen, does it tell you there are new software updates?
[10:19] <orb> atm? no
[10:19] <swarm> orange box with white asterisk in it?
[10:19] <swarm> hmmm
[10:19] <Zweisteine> # a comment\nsearch lan\nnameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:19] <swarm> oh
[10:19] <steelwolf> ok
[10:20] <swarm> did you install x64 version or x32? i bet x64
[10:20] <orb> x64
[10:20] <swarm> ;)
[10:20] <swarm> i am so smartz.
[10:20] <cjracker> so if you did a dig google.com you wouldnt get any answer?
[10:20] <orb> lol
[10:20] <swarm> go get the 32 bit one.
[10:20] <orb> NOEZ
[10:20] <Frogzoo> any pointers for fixing pppoe on edgy?
[10:20] <orb> aw I really wanted to run 64 bit...
[10:20] <steelwolf> but it seems that my card driver fx 570m isn't listed at > http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9755/README/appendix-a.html
[10:20] <swarm> trust me, 64 bit is so problematic it is not even funny
[10:20] <orb> is it impossible?
[10:20] <orb> :(
[10:20] <orb> but so much faster
[10:20] <swarm> not impossible, but even *i* won't get into it
[10:20] <orb> :(
[10:20] <swarm> even when you get into it
[10:20] <orb> lame so now I gotta like
[10:20] <orb> download it,
[10:21] <orb> run it,
[10:21] <orb> format the partition again,
[10:21] <swarm> it'll be hard to get some software running
[10:21] <orb> install it,
[10:21] <orb> do this stuff again
[10:21] <orb> :(
[10:21] <swarm> no need to format partition
[10:21] <swarm> it'll do that for you
[10:21] <swarm> :P
[10:21] <orb> i know but it takes a while
[10:21] <philip> hello
[10:21] <swarm> seriously, go to 32 bit, get comfy with ubuntu
[10:21] <cjracker> Zweisteine, seems icmp works, do tcp and udp?
[10:21] <swarm> then upgrade to 64
[10:21] <swarm> you'll have a better understanding of how things work
[10:21] <swarm> i don'
[10:21] <Zweisteine> cjracker, I don't think I have any tool to to nslookups in that environment. Let me check
[10:22] <orb> I don't need an understanding :P
[10:22] <philip> Does anyone know anything about sound cards and getting a hiss out oif them from a new install of ubunto
[10:22] <swarm> i don't run 64 bit because the kernel is unstable :\
[10:22] <lenzzzinoleonard> hii
[10:22] <orb> hrmph
[10:22] <swarm> i have same processor as you, i have two of the 8800gtx's...
[10:22] <cjracker> can you telnet? just make sure youre getting some kind of non-icmp traffic
[10:22] <swarm> and 8gb corsair dominator xms2 1066 ram
[10:22] <philip> I need some assistance someone
[10:22] <orb> you can't use 8GB with 32 bit...
[10:22] <Zweisteine> cjracker, I don't have telnet either
[10:22] <swarm> i have experience with your system basically
[10:22] <swarm> i know
[10:22] <|brad|> 8gb my lordie
[10:22] <warbler> !ask
[10:22] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:22] <cjracker> jeez what do you have?
[10:22] <swarm> i'm pointing out... i have a similar system as you
[10:23] <cjracker> wget?
[10:23] <orb> kay, I was just really looking forward to 3d animating in 64 bit uber speed ;)
[10:23] <lenzzzinoleonard> i want to configer my USB ADSL modem on ubuntu. i got the document on hhow to configer it but i dont understand it can some 1 plz help me?
[10:23] <philip> I am getting a hiss after install linux on an old 5 year old gateway machine running the sb llive software from oem
[10:23] <swarm> orb, get 32 bit
[10:23] <swarm> play around
[10:23] <swarm> learn the shell a bit
[10:23] <Zweisteine> cjracker, no, but I have apt-get and I could change the sources.list to point to an IP address instead of the hostname
[10:23] <orb> kay
[10:23] <swarm> then upgrade to 64bit kernel
[10:23] <swarm> and, ubuntuforums.org is your friend
[10:23] <cjracker> yeah, that would help
[10:23] <orb> i guess I'll go do that then.  I'll probably need to come back in here for that info on the drivers again
[10:23] <swarm> btw
[10:23] <swarm> when u started xwindows this time
[10:24] <philip> hello?
[10:24] <swarm> did it show a nvidia logo?
[10:24] <orb> yeah
[10:24] <philip> Anyone know about hardware issues?
[10:24] <orb> why
[10:24] <swarm> cool. i won ;)
[10:24] <orb> lol
[10:24] <warbler> !ask | philip
[10:24] <ubotu> philip: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:24] <philip> thanks

[10:24] <cjracker> sweet
[10:24] <Zweisteine> cjracker, bye..
[10:24] <swarm> orb, you'll get 64 bit soon enough
[10:25] <cjracker> bye, good luck!
[10:25] <Zweisteine> cjracker, I still wish I knew what was wrong
[10:25] <swarm> but to get it working required a different kernel
[10:25] <cjracker> yeah, thats wacky
[10:25] <cjracker> mabye your resolvers dont like the new host?
[10:25] <swarm> and chances are you have no experience configuring linux programs/kernels
[10:25] <cjracker> i dont know...
[10:25] <orb> swarm, can I get your email so I can find out stuff like this from you in the future if you're not on irc?
[10:25] <cjracker> anyway, the bed is calling...

[10:31] <Sepero> lenzzzinoleonard: Can you PM me?
[10:32] <equilibrix> alok_: I have the right keyboard layout after log on (QWERTY), but still have QWERTZ on the login screen

[10:33] <seraph34> hey, I just followed directions on the forums for temporarily disabling the synaptics touchpad on my laptop but it doesn't seem to be doing much... is there any way to "permanently" disable it?
[10:33] <chuxxsss> lenzzzzino: open a web browser and talk to the modem
[10:34] <astro76> seraph34, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad
[10:34] <Sepero> chuxxsss: lenzzzinoleonard Doesn't appear to be replying to me.
[10:34] <chuxxsss> Ok thanks Sepero
[10:35] <lenzzzinoleonard> sepro: i replyed
[10:35] <chuxxsss> nice
[10:35] <lenzzzinoleonard> Sepro: I got USB ADSL modem(star com ut 300u). this page explains how to set it up. its in chinese. i used google to translate it.http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fftwyou.spaces.live.com%2Fblog%2Fcns%252197103926800CAC3%2521113.entry
[10:35] <Sepero> lenzzzinoleonard: I can't see it. It's a problem with freenode
[10:35] <alok_> type :sudo pppoeconf
[10:35] <user_999> hi,  want talking a japanese honest lady
[10:35] <alok_> it will guide u for usb adsl setup
[10:36] <alok_> yeah,probablyfor pm,u hav to register
[10:36] <Sepero> lenzzzinoleonard: Try joining this channel #lenz
[10:36] <astro76> !offtopic | user_999
[10:37] <ubotu> user_999: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[10:37] <daWabbit> Hello, all
[10:37] <user_999> hi
[10:37] <alok_> i got a small problem,anyone knows how to use webcam with gaim
[10:38] <daWabbit> alok; I tried it earlier. Don't have it working yet
[10:38] <alok_> i mean i wanna use yahoo mess,so any program in that respect which supports webcams
[10:38] <alok_> the yahoo mess from its website is damn old
[10:38] <Kiran_mac> hey im using pgadmin in ubuntu 7.04. wht should i put in the 'service' field?
[10:39] <daWabbit> Kiran_mac, I think you should put the name of the service you are trying to work on in it
[10:40] <zust> join #ubuntu cn
[10:40] <zust> join #ubuntu.cn
[10:40] <nanonyme> hmm?
[10:40] <daWabbit> What is "cn"?
[10:40] <Shyde> china
[10:40] <dirtyhand> is there a way to make ubuntu "rollback" to its install settings?
[10:40] <daWabbit> Thanks
[10:40] <dirtyhand> like system restore for ubuntu
[10:40] <Kiran_mac> daWabbit: but im failing to know 'wht' should i put to start postgressql in that field..
[10:40] <daWabbit> Not that I know of, dirtyhand
[10:41] <alok_> there is no such feature,and there will proabably never be
[10:41] <rothchild> dirtyhand have you tried dpkg --configure -a
[10:41] <nanonyme> it would be illogical anyway
[10:41] <alok_> because in linux all componenets are independent
[10:41] <daWabbit> Kiran_mac, Okay. Put the path to the postgressql executable in there. Something like /usr/bin/postgressql
[10:41] <nanonyme> considering unlike windows, linux doesn't just patch over everything
[10:41] <nanonyme> stuff is completely replaced
[10:41] <rothchild> or dpkg--reconfigure -a
[10:42] <dirtyhand> I have root access to this ubuntu server, but I dont know where i messed up so I want a clean install again (but i have no physical access to it)
[10:42] <pretts> any ideas where do I set the number of workpaces so cube on compiz fusion would be a cube? I currently have only one workspace
[10:42] <daWabbit> Kiran_mac, You can use the "whereis postgressql" command to find the path to the binary
[10:42] <nazgjunk> I've read that it's hardly possible to get a 1680x1050 res out of my ati card on linux (firegl in a thinkpad t60p) - is this true, and is there any way to at least get the screen to not be stretched?
[10:42] <nanonyme> dirtyhand, is it a virtual server?
[10:42] <dirtyhand> no
[10:42] <neumind> how i can open folder and in to folder copy files?
[10:43] <nanonyme> why don't you have physical access to it then?
[10:43] <dirtyhand> its locked in the server room at work and I wont be able to access it till nect week
[10:43] <nanonyme> ah
[10:43] <neumind> because i can`t paste in to folder nothing
[10:43] <daWabbit> neumind? are you using the command line?
[10:43] <rothchild> it's not quite system restore but if you've just borked up something minor it may work
[10:43] <frogz> dirtyhand: 2 options - fix it remotely, or arrange physical access & clean install
[10:43] <neumind> no
[10:43] <alok_> u can try modifying the xorg.conf file to change resolutions which u dont find
[10:43] <onats> what website in the us is the cheapest for pc hardware?
[10:43] <dirtyhand> can I uninstall all the stuff I installed via apt-get?
[10:43] <daWabbit> Okay. Then try clicking on the folder in the file manager and going from there. Pretty much like on a Windows or Mac
[10:43] <shriphani> neumind: cp <source> <destination>
[10:44] <rothchild> dirtyhand yes
[10:44] <frogz> dirtyhand: you can uninstall & reinstall sure - just don't uninstall your networking :)
[10:44] <shriphani> neumind: to copy a dir recursively cp -r <source> <dest.>
[10:44] <nanonyme> it's a better idea to install stuff with aptitude. uninstalling is more fun after that
[10:44] <neumind> i want in to folder paste file, but cant
[10:44] <bullgard4> During every cold start Ubuntu performs a 'sanitize start'. What is the purpose of this 'sanitize start'?
[10:44] <shriphani> neumind: which folder is that ?
[10:44] <daWabbit> You need to change the permissions oni t\
[10:44] <neumind> ipv6
[10:45] <neumind> how?
[10:45] <shriphani> ?
[10:45] <seraph34> the directions for the touchpad dealio didn't work... it returns this error "GSynaptics couldn't initialize. You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics"
[10:45] <dashfield> Does anyone have any idea why mysql would fail to stop using "/etc/init.d/mysql stop"? It works roughly half the time, but fails the rest.
[10:45] <daWabbit> Use the "sudo" command, then supply the password when asked
[10:45] <shriphani> neumind: full path.
[10:45] <seraph34> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37507/
[10:46] <seraph34> that's my xorg.conf file
[10:46] <amarillion> I'm running gutsy but I don't get desktop effects. There is no Desktop Effects in the menu. How can I get it?
[10:46] <alok_> install compiz
[10:46] <alok_> that is same as desktop effects
[10:46] <astro76> seraph34, did you restart the X server since editing xorg.conf (ctrl+alt+backspace)?
[10:46] <daWabbit> I think you have to install some more stuff, amarillion
[10:47] <seraph34> astro76, yeah, I did...
[10:47] <amarillion> ah no... I see now
[10:47] <amarillion> it's under "appearance preferences"
[10:47] <amarillion> It doesn't work though...
[10:47] <codester> hello ppl, anyone know where i should look in ubuntu in order to get external keyboard and mouse that i plug in on a laptop, to get it to working?
[10:48] <nazgjunk> gah
[10:48] <nazgjunk> i can't help but admit that windows just does the trick better on a couple of details
[10:48] <shriphani> codester: my mouse works by default.. as soon as i plug it into my usb port.
[10:49] <daWabbit> My mouse and kb both had to be recognized the first time. I had to reboot
[10:49] <codester> shriphani, yeh thats what i am wondering, but my friend installed ubuntu on his laptop and he's asking my his keyboard and mouse that he plug in doesnt work
[10:49] <avt3kk> guys how do I set vlc in ubuntu dapper to loop any video playing from the internet?
[10:49] <Kopfgeldjaeger> hi
[10:50] <avt3kk> hello :)
[10:50] <iPhone> hi, i wonder if anyone know how to get a screen rectangle' size. any CLI? like import does which can get a rectangle' pic.
[10:50] <rothchild> how can I stop my usb harddrive mounting read only?
[10:50] <disinterested> nickrud: i installed gparted and it knocked the partitions right out
[10:50] <avt3kk> can I set vlc to loop automaticly?
[10:50] <avt3kk> repeat
[10:50] <frogz> iPhone: xwininfo from cli
[10:50] <shriphani> iPhone: screenshot ?
[10:50] <IndyGunFreak> rothchild: chmod it.
[10:50] <iPhone> xwininfo just get a window. frogz
[10:51] <iPhone> shriphani: i just want the size, like -x xxxx -y xxx -w xx -h xxx. this format result
[10:51] <avt3kk> how do I loop vlc
[10:52] <alok_> @rothchild:modify the etc/fstab file
[10:52] <frogz> iPhone: xrandr for the monitor res'n?
[10:52] <alok_> change the option auto to noauto
[10:52] <avt3kk> alok is that for me?
[10:52] <alok_> nah.....i replied to rothchild
[10:52] <avt3kk> o
[10:52] <avt3kk> what about my thing?
[10:52] <avt3kk> loop vlc
[10:52] <IndyGunFreak> alok_: that really shouldn't be necessary, I've got 3 USB hard drives, never once modified fstab.
[10:53] <daWabbit> I'm looking now, avt3kk
[10:53] <avt3kk> ty :)
[10:53] <iPhone> o... xrandr? how to access? man xrandr give me a mess conception. frogz
[10:53] <alok_> @avt3kk:Open playlist and u will find the repeat opiton
[10:53] <daWabbit> avt3kk, I'm sorry it's taking me so long.
[10:53] <flushingmemos> hello!
[10:53] <avt3kk> loop for automaticly playing from the internet
[10:53] <rothchild> I've got this ongoing problem where it won't auto mount but when I use pmount-hal /dev/sdb1 it seems to screw up the permissions
[10:53] <daWabbit> alok is right. It's in the playlist options. I wasn't looking there
[10:54] <IndyGunFreak> alok_: when you put that @ in front of their name, it fails to alert them, just type their name, and it will highlight/alert the user.
[10:54] <avt3kk> its already playing off the internet
[10:54] <flushingmemos> where did synaptic install torrentflux?
[10:54] <avt3kk> just wont loop lol
[10:54] <alok_> yeah,thanx!
[10:54] <daWabbit> You can only loop locally stored content, I think
[10:54] <avt3kk> that sux
[10:54] <daWabbit> You would have to save it, then replay it
[10:54] <codester> any ubuntu guru able to give me some light on, why wouldnt mouse & keyboard that are plugged into a laptop that got ubuntu installed work? could it be a case that the kernel that came with it doesnt have the proper modules installed? cause i am trying to help a friend troubleshoot his installation
[10:55] <iPhone> do u use recordmydesktop? i just want make a bash to record part of screen video. that's all. frogz
[10:55] <iPhone> using mouse to drag a rectangle.
[10:55] <daWabbit> codester; It might be that the hub or port is no good. I have had that happen. Otherwise a reboot has been all that is needed to get kb and mouse working via USB
[10:56] <mark__> good morning, my problem is "linux-wide" and it is that i have "no signal" for my lcd no matter what i try, when i use the "nvidia" driver instead of "nv" or "vesa" in xorg.conf. i have a 8600GT
[10:56] <IndyGunFreak> flushingmemos: probably in ./torrentflux or something like that, open a terminal and type torrentflux, and i think it will start.
[10:56] <seraph34> is there a linux equivalent to Fraps?
[10:56] <SrPilha> hello folks
[10:56] <mark__> i am getting an error message while booting which says something like "failed to allocate memory resource at..." and then the address of my graphics card i think
[10:56] <flushingmemos> in what directory!?! need to configure databases...
[10:57] <SrPilha> ppl, can the latest Ubuntu write on an ntfs file system?
[10:57] <daWabbit> codester; My wife also informs me she had to enable USB keyboard in her Compaq's bios for it to work. That's a very new laptop
[10:57] <codester> daWabbit, hmm yeh but he's telling me that its working with the windows installation, but its not working with ubuntu, but i am thinking to myself that ubuntu release should have all the usb keyboard and mouse working properly
[10:57] <IndyGunFreak> flushingmemos: like i said, *probably* ./torrentflux
[10:57] <codester> daWabbit, ahh k thanks, i'll try that
[10:57] <flushingmemos> -bash: ./torrentflux: No such file or directory
[10:57] <bart_> hello all
[10:57] <daWabbit> codester; Make sure "hotplug" and USB utilities are installed
[10:57] <flushingmemos> :(
[10:58] <bart_> I'm searching for a video editor programm
[10:58] <SrPilha> actually, is there any Linux that can write to an ntfs filesystem?
[10:58] <seraph34> SrPilha,  the most recent stable release or the next planned release?
[10:58] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: yes, any recentish Linux can write to NTFS
[10:58] <SrPilha> seraph34, most recent
[10:58] <codester> daWabbit, wouldnt those utils get preinstalled when you do the ubuntu installation?
[10:58] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: it might not be a good idea though
[10:58] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, : why?
[10:58] <alok_> bart_:Use cinelerra
[10:59] <gordonjcp> bart_: there are a few; cinelerra (quite hard to use but powerful), kino (easy to use, bit like iMovie) and Open Movie Editor which I haven't tried
[10:59] <daWabbit> I do with Ubuntu Dapper, SrPilha. Just install ntfs tools. It's not safe, though, because NTFS support isn't really finished yet
[10:59] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, I'm only trying to save some oddly-named files from an ntfs hd
[10:59] <bart_> alok_: how do I get that (i use ubuntu feisty fanw)
[10:59] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: because NTFS write support isn't very stable and may lose data
[10:59] <astro76> !ntfs-3g | SrPilha
[10:59] <ubotu> SrPilha: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[10:59] <daWabbit> codester; Not always. Not on this machine. I had to install 2 extra packages for the USB to work right
[10:59] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: what exactly are you trying to do?
[10:59] <rothchild> indygunfreak when I try chmod it says chmod: changing permissions of `/media/usbdisk': Read-only file system
[10:59] <codester> daWabbit, ahh k
[10:59] <dirtyhand> How can I force a complete re-install of an apt-get package?
[10:59] <seraph34> aight folks... happy ubuntu-ing! see you later.
[10:59] <SrPilha> ubotu, thx !
[10:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about thx ! - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:59] <dirtyhand> even if its already installed
[11:00] <gordonjcp> dirtyhand: apt-get install --reinstall foo
[11:00] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, I'm runing Ubuntu Live on a machine whose HD is dying
[11:00] <IndyGunFreak> rothchild: your command should look something like this...  sudo chown user:group /dev/sdaX   where X is device number.
[11:00] <avt3kk> isnt there a new version of ubuntu that you can connect to yahoo chat and verify letters and numbers?
[11:00] <avt3kk> to get in room
[11:00] <alok_> bart_:Add this line at the end of ur /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:00] <alok_> http://www.kiberpipa.org/~muzzol/cinelerra/feisty-i386/
[11:01] <avt3kk> Alok is that it?
[11:01] <alok_> then u can use apt-get install
[11:01] <avt3kk> no lol
[11:01] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, so I'm trying to save all I can - but some of my files have names with accented letters
[11:01] <alok_> sorry apt-get update,then apt-get insatll cinelerra
[11:01] <SrPilha> and Ubuntu won't copy them (invalid encoding)
[11:01] <alecjw> hi. what music typesetters (like sibelius) do people recomment for ubuntu?
[11:02] <bart_> ok
[11:02] <alok_> *hey sorry for that typo,its install ;)
[11:02] <flushingmemos> how can i install the "debian menu?"
[11:02] <Lobezno> perdon el canal es en ingles
[11:02] <alecjw> !es | Lobezno
[11:02] <ubotu> Lobezno: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[11:03] <iPhone> do anyone use recordmydesktop? i just want make a bash to record part of screen video. that's all. using mouse to drag a rectangle.
[11:03] <daWabbit> Lobezno; Try #ubuntu.es
[11:03] <alok_> flushingmemos:Just go to system->preferences->Main menu
[11:03] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: right, you don't need NTFS write support then
[11:03] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, oh that's good news
[11:03] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, what should I do then?
[11:03] <alok_> flushingmemos:then use whatever menus u like!
[11:03] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: you just need to read the drive and write it to a new one, which could just as easily be ext3
[11:03] <flushingmemos> thx!
[11:04] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, that works for files whose names are "ok" for Ubuntu
[11:04] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: keep the failing drive cool as much as possible, even if that means running the PC with the case off and a blower blasting it with cold air
[11:04] <slimjimflim> does anybody know how to set up name-based virtualhosts on feisty?
[11:04] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: if the accented characters are UTF-8 then it should be fine, really
[11:05] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: you could try writing to a newly-formatted NTFS drive
[11:05] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, well Ubuntu sees the files, but puts "(invalid encoding)" on the side
[11:05] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: hm
[11:05] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: when you look at the filename in Ubuntu, does it still look "sensible"?
[11:05] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, actually, I had thought of writing ability just to rename them and then copy
[11:06] <flushingmemos> aah! I can go through synaptic
[11:06] <neumind>  xchat_print called without a valid context - and i can connect to ipv6 server, what a problem?
[11:06] <flushingmemos> by lookin at the package properties i can view installed files!
[11:06] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, oh yes, it just replaces accented letters with '?', but even filetype is recognised
[11:06] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-3061.html <- first hit on Gooooogle for "ubuntu ntfs invalid encoding"
[11:07] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, good idea :)
[11:07] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: have a read of that page, something there might be what you want
[11:07] <alok_> SrPilha:Trying mounting that drive,it worked for me,generally it doesnt open properly wid nautilus
[11:07] <gordonjcp> Windows NTFS partitions must be mounted with nls=utf8 added to the /etc/fstab file in order to see special characters.
[11:07] <gordonjcp> ^ there you go
[11:07] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, ahaaa thanks!
[11:08] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, will check the mount manual for syntax :)
[11:08] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: I don't have an NTFS disk to try it
[11:08] <dirtyhand> I'm trying to force reinstall Nginx but it wont create the /etc/init.d/nginx script
[11:08] <gordonjcp> well also on that page it gives examples of the mount command
[11:08] <neumind>  xchat_print called without a valid context - and i can connect to ipv6 server, what a problem?
[11:08] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, perfect! many thanks :)
[11:09] <gordonjcp> SrPilha: is it working?
[11:09] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, will go test it now
[11:09] <nanonyme> neumind, your question sounds like it's not making any sense
[11:09] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, brb
[11:09] <|brad|> haha
[11:09] <nanonyme> of course, i could be wrong
[11:09] <nanonyme> try rephrasing
[11:09] <neumind> ok i install ipv6 and connecting in to ipv6 server, but i disconected, its write -  xchat_print called without a valid context.
[11:11] <daWabbit> Neumind; Do you have X-Chat systray installed? I kept getting that message until I took that off
[11:11] <Rainarrow> Hello, is there a way to see the transferring speed when copying files in GNOME?
[11:11] <kjro> again me whit iptables problems .. don't know why .. but i cant specify nat-in ... it wont work...  anyone could help me hiwt this problem ???
[11:11] <neumind> daWabbit:  no i dont have, wher i get it?
[11:11] <daWabbit> In Synaptic
[11:11] <daWabbit> But I thought that might be the problem
[11:12] <neumind> daWabbit:  and more write - Unknown host. Maybe you misspelled it?
[11:12] <daWabbit> Okay. You're not connecting at all, then.
[11:12] <neumind> daWabbit:  whats a problem then?
[11:12] <daWabbit> Probably spelling of the host name
[11:13] <daWabbit> neumind, Check the hostname and or the address carefully, then try again
[11:13] <kimmey> Rainarrow: tell me if you find out something about that
[11:13] <LqR_> I'm trying to help a person with ubuntu who's having troubles with his nforce-based on board soundcard
[11:13] <neumind> daWabbit:  ok
[11:13] <Rainarrow> Hi guys, is there a way to see the speed rate when I copy files in GNOME? You know, just like the explorer of Vista
[11:14] <Rainarrow> hi kimmey

[11:15] <Rainarrow> Hi alok_, it's 2.18.1, the one comes with feisty
[11:16] <neumind> daWabbit:  i dont know
[11:16] <daWabbit> neumind, Neither do I. Guess we will have to read the man page again, eh?
[11:16] <Syonyde> Hello everyone
[11:16] <AHAM> hello
[11:16] <daWabbit> Hello, Syonyde
[11:16] <AHAM> i need help
[11:16] <neumind> daWabbit:  :/
[11:16] <alok_> Rainarrow:Then u should be getting the speeds,i usually see it when transfers are somewhat slow,as like copying from an usb drive
[11:16] <AHAM> please assist me
[11:16] <GreyWolfe> Hello, is there anyone available that can help me with a problem I am having?
[11:16] <Syonyde> Anyone experienced in dealing with ATI cards?
[11:17] <[DCH] Bret> Anyone got a penis?
[11:17] <daWabbit> I"ve just installed a couple, Syonyde
[11:17] <IndyGunFreak> GreyWolfe: well thats difficult to say, state your problem
[11:17] <Msh100> [DCH] Bret : You will end up getting kicked in here, Not a place for jokes
[11:17] <axz> guys whats best solution to make you partition fully accessible
[11:17] <disinterested> how would i get permission to write to a slave drive?
[11:17] <Syonyde> Did you have issues using a Widescreen resolution?
[11:18] <IndyGunFreak> axz: what type of partition is it?
[11:18] <daWabbit> chmod a+rw [device mount directory]
[11:18] <axz> ext3
[11:18] <GreyWolfe> I am running both Windows XP and Ubuntu on seperate HDs, I need to use the recovery partition on my XP drive, but I believe GRUB is stopping me from booting straight from the recovery partition
[11:18] <IndyGunFreak> axz: then it should already be fully accessible with proper permissions.
[11:18] <avt3kk> stop hammer time :/
[11:18] <avt3kk> hhaahahh
[11:18] <BennieMan> can anyone help me with a link, where should i download Pidgin for Ubuntu ?
[11:18] <axz> use chmod?
[11:18] <avt3kk> weres that new version of ubuntu
[11:18] <AHAM> when i press the button 'music note' on my keyboard, it is set to open the default music player... but i don't want it to open Rhythmbox... i want it to open XMMS... how can i do that on Ubuntu 7.04??
[11:19] <andreas_> moin
[11:19] <Syonyde> ...Crap.
[11:19] <axz> IndyGunFreak, should i use chmod?
[11:19] <cemoi> ubuntu-fr
[11:19] <cemoi> oups
[11:20] <IndyGunFreak> axz: probably
[11:20] <axz> So what command? chmod +x ?
[11:20] <GreyWolfe> Can anyone offer any suggestions of how to fix this problem?
[11:20] <moDumass> hey all, ho i dloaded "Spring_0.75b1" but I have no idea how to install it.. how would i do this?
[11:20] <ehc> is there a way to have my computer hibernate in 20 minutes from a specified time?
[11:20] <Wipster> hey I have stopped my sound card magicaly switching using the asound set-default-card thing but teamspeak keeps loosing my sound and I have to change my /dev/dsp putting numbers at the end to find it how can I lock my sound card to just /dev/dsp?
[11:20] <Skumlesen> GreyWolfe: can you boot your winxp at all?
[11:20] <gordonjcp> AHAM: keyboard settings?
[11:21] <AHAM> i know
[11:21] <GreyWolfe> No, it just gives me a black screen. This problem just started tonight, up until now, I have had no problem with sual-booting
[11:21] <GreyWolfe> *dual
[11:21] <AHAM> i can't make xmms my default system-wide player
[11:21] <Syonyde> GreyWolfe, did you try attempting to switch the Hard Drive Boot order in your BIOS?
[11:21] <GreyWolfe> Yup
[11:21] <Syonyde> Hmm...
[11:21] <alok_> axz:Use 'sudo chmod a+x /' to make the whole partiton accessible by anybody,its though not recommended
[11:22] <IndyGunFreak> axz: wel,l i've set several usb drives writeable with this command  sudo chown indygunfreak:indygunfreak /dev/sdaX   where X is device number.
[11:22] <alok_> axz:Instead subtitute the folder u want in place of '/'
[11:22] <GreyWolfe> It is set by default to boot from the XP drive, but I was under the impression that GRUB overwrites the XP boot program
[11:22] <axz> alok_, is standlone pc
[11:22] <axz> nobody gets on it
[11:23] <vedang> yes, it dos
[11:23] <GreyWolfe> Syonyde, may I pm you, to avoid spamming up the channel?
[11:23] <Syonyde> Erm, I'm not really sure I could help much.
[11:23] <alok_> axz:But still,its a risk,if u ever go online
[11:23] <GreyWolfe> Ahh, okay
[11:23] <Syonyde> I was just attempting to give help. /swt
[11:23] <GreyWolfe> Heh, thanks anyways.
[11:23] <axz> hmmz
[11:23] <IndyGunFreak> GreyWolfe: so you get to your ubuntu install ok?
[11:24] <vedang> leave
[11:24] <axz> So can i get helpd to set hard driver/partition permissions so i can use my other harddrive
[11:24] <alok_> axz:Or else use 'chmod 777 /'
[11:24] <GreyWolfe> Yes, I am running Ubuntu right now, I have had it installed for a few days and had no problems
[11:24] <axz> that should work?
[11:24] <astro76> axz, do NOT do chmod 777 /
[11:25] <AHAM> when i press the button 'music note' on my keyboard, it is set to open the default music player... but i don't want it to open Rhythmbox... i want it to open XMMS... how can i do that on Ubuntu 7.04??
[11:25] <axz> lol
[11:25] <IndyGunFreak> !chmod | axz
[11:25] <ubotu> axz: The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[11:25] <SrPilha> gordonjcp, yep, that worked :)
[11:25] <Skumlesen> GreyWolfe: if I were you I'd try gettig grub starting your xp, under the conf input boot xp and the /dev/hd?? hd-letter and partition number
[11:25] <SrPilha> ...and once more Linux saves my (or somebody else's, in this case) life
[11:25] <alok_> astro76;He wants to make his whole filesyatem accesible
[11:25] <axz> yeah guys seen that... there is no way making you other hard drive readble and writeble
[11:25] <GreyWolfe> Umm... would it be possible to speak in Linux-for-dummies?
[11:25] <IndyGunFreak> axz: of course there's a way.
[11:26] <GreyWolfe> This is my first time ever really installing and using anything Linux related
[11:26] <Nyle> how do i find out if I'm using swap
[11:26] <yetifoot> does anyone know how to use update-alternatives to change the default audio player?  i looked in /etc/alternatives but can't find it
[11:26] <Nyle> upon installation I did not create  swap partition
[11:26] <Nyle> what to do now?
[11:26] <Skumlesen> Wolfe, hang on
[11:26] <astro76> axz, what are you talking about here? where is the partition you want accessible mounted?
[11:26] <IndyGunFreak> Nyle: whats your system specs?
[11:26] <SrPilha> ok, now for saving everything in the most elegant way... brb
[11:26] <zaidar> yetifoot, sudo update-alternatives all
[11:26] <Nyle> 1gb ram
[11:26] <axz> yes astro76
[11:26] <Nyle> i am lagging like crazy
[11:27] <yetifoot> ziader, ok, will try thanks
[11:27] <IndyGunFreak> Nyle:  proc. speed and hard drive space
[11:27] <Nyle> i think i need swap cuz kernel is unloading stuff
[11:27] <astro76> axz, where is it mounted?
[11:27] <axz> I cant write on it... says on read access
[11:27] <AHAM> when i press the button 'music note' on my keyboard, it is set to open the default music player... but i don't want it to open Rhythmbox... i want it to open XMMS... how can i do that on Ubuntu 7.04??
[11:27] <Nyle> and its not cool
[11:27] <GreyWolfe> Ohh, I see what you are saying, GRUB is already set up to start XP, and until tonight, that has worked just fine. Now it just goes to a black screen and sits there after I select XP from the menu
[11:27] <astro76> axz, where are you trying to write?
[11:27] <Nyle> 3.5ghz core 2 duo, 1gb ram
[11:27] <zaidar> yetifoot, sudo update-alternatives --all i mean
[11:27] <IndyGunFreak> Nyle: you should'nt need swap..
[11:27] <axz> on my other hard disk i formated to ext3
[11:27] <Nyle> !swap
[11:27] <ubotu> swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info
[11:27] <Nyle> nm
[11:27] <IndyGunFreak> Nyle: i never use swap on my laptop, and its not even half as powerful as your PC, and half the ram
[11:28] <axz> he is mounted in /media
[11:28] <Nyle> IndyGunFreak: it depends on whats running
[11:28] <axz> both of them
[11:28] <Nyle> I have probably 20 times the amount of stuff loaded in 10+ virtual desktops
[11:28] <IndyGunFreak> Nyle: well what ar eyou doing when you see the problem?
[11:28] <IndyGunFreak> well duh, VM takes a lot of ram,
[11:28] <Nyle> don't worry about it
[11:28] <Nyle> if you can't be useful, don't be useless
[11:28] <[DCH] Bret> I'm a newbie to Linux. I've grown up with windows. Will i be able to do EVERYTHING i do on windows on linux?
[11:28] <Nyle> i found out how to add swap space, thanks
[11:29] <Syonyde> Bret, No.
[11:29] <Syonyde> Not quite yet at least.
[11:29] <IndyGunFreak> [DCH] Bret: probably not.
[11:29] <[DCH] Bret> I play games, skype, msn, xfire, internet, irc and other stuff
[11:29] <Syonyde> I heard something about Video Calls on Skype don't work.
[11:30] <IndyGunFreak> [DCH] Bret: games will be yuor hangup
[11:30] <[DCH] Bret> And accessing windows dedicated servers.
[11:30] <IndyGunFreak> don't know what xfire is.
[11:30] <GreyWolfe> Bret, games seem to be the biggest problem, there are ways totake care of most other things
[11:30] <[DCH] Bret> I access remote desktop connection.
[11:30] <gvsa123> i thought
[11:30] <[DCH] Bret> Is that possible?
[11:30] <gvsa123> ooops
[11:30] <Syonyde> Do you use a Wireless connection?
[11:30] <[DCH] Bret> no
[11:30] <Skumlesen> GreyWolfe: its hard to say excatly what goes wrong, but if you make a recovery with winxp it will take over boot, and then you cant boot linux
[11:30] <rothchild> hmmm: chown: changing ownership of `/media/usbdisk': Read-only file system
[11:30] <gordonjcp> rothchild: mount -o remount,rw /media/usbdisk
[11:31] <jaie> where is the kernel source located in ubuntu ?
[11:31] <IndyGunFreak> rothchild: i have a feeling youre not putting the correct device name.
[11:31] <astro76> axz, so you'd want to do this for ext3: sudo chown -R USERNAME:USERNAME /media/mountpoint
[11:31] <GreyWolfe> Well, this is the recovery partition that was on my computer when I bought it. I have Ubuntu installed on an external HD
[11:31] <axz> thanks i try it
[11:32] <astro76> axz, replacing USERNAME of course
[11:32] <[DCH] Bret> The games i play are: W:ET, W:ETQW, CS:S and maybe i will get some more. And maybe WoW
[11:32] <axz> hehe
[11:32] <axz> :)
[11:32] <rothchild> indygunfreak how do I get the right name?
[11:32] <GreyWolfe> well, I know WoW works fine with WINE straight out of the box, as I was playing it earlier, don't know about the rest
[11:32] <[DCH] Bret> i can get ET for linux anyway
[11:32] <IndyGunFreak> [DCH] Bret: gaming is very hit miss, alot more miss than hit, with Linux...your best bet if you're a gamer, is to dual boot.
[11:33] <rothchild>  fdisk -l
[11:33] <rothchild> Disk /dev/sdb: 320.0 GB,<PHONE_NUMBER>76 bytes
[11:33] <rothchild> 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders

[11:33] <rothchild> oops
[11:33] <IndyGunFreak> rothchild: is that your usb device?
[11:33] <rothchild> yes
[11:33] <IndyGunFreak> then the device label is /dev/sdb1
[11:34] <GreyWolfe> Well, can anyone tell me how to completely disable GRUB, so that it will automatically boot the OS installed on the HD?
[11:34] <axz> astro76, works perfect
[11:34] <astro76> axz, excellent :)
[11:34] <axz> do i need to do this everytime now?
[11:34] <[DCH] Bret> Can i get a windows emulator that runs inside linux so i can play windows games?
[11:34] <astro76> axz, no it's permanent
[11:34] <axz> thanks mate you rox
[11:34] <dirtyhand> anyone know how to use a local text editor when working on files via ssh?
[11:34] <IndyGunFreak> GreyWolfe: easiest way, is to start your winxp disk in rescue mode, and run fixboot, and fixmbr fromt he DOS prompt... that will completely erase grub.
[11:34] <frogz> GreyWolfe: set the timeout=0 ?
[11:34] <gordonjcp> [DCH] Bret: depends on the game - you might be better with wine
[11:34] <[DCH] Bret> counter strike source
[11:35] <[DCH] Bret> maybe some other steam games
[11:35] <Gowrav> on my acer aspire 1350 laptop when i select ubuntu from grub menu it shows a error failed to alocate memory blah blah ( i couldn't read that) and then ubuntu runs well .. but sometimes it suddenly power off my laptop !!! that never happens in XP what may be the matter and how to resolve this !!
[11:35] <icecruncher> how do i compile c code?
[11:35] <astro76> !compile | icecruncher
[11:35] <ubotu> icecruncher: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[11:35] <magnetron> [DCH] Bret, GreyWolfe, axz: see http://appdb.winehq.org to see a list of windows programs and how well they run in Wine
[11:36] <GreyWolfe> The problem with that Indy, is that I can't access the recovery partition, I have the option to access it before GRUB activates it. When I hit the key to access it, nothing happens, the boot procedure continues as if I had not attempted to access the recovery partition
[11:36] <axz> magnetron, i dind asked for wine i know how it works :P
[11:36] <icecruncher> astro76: no, not a package, but  just one file.c
[11:36] <IndyGunFreak> GreyWolfe: i see, i have no idea then.. good luck
[11:37] <rothchild> sudo chown marc:marc /dev/sdb1 doesn't seem to do anything, it returns the prompt but I still cant write to or move folders about on the usb disk
[11:37] <GreyWolfe> Heh, okay thanks
[11:37] <AHAM> when i press the button 'music note' on my keyboard, it is set to open the default music player... but i don't want it to open Rhythmbox... i want it to open XMMS... how can i do that on Ubuntu 7.04??
[11:37] <magnetron> axz: and i didn't tell you how Wine works either :D
[11:37] <IndyGunFreak> rothchild: you won't actually *see* it do anything.
[11:37] <astro76> icecruncher, install build-essential package, then gcc file.c
[11:37] <AHAM> answer me you stupid fucks

[11:39] <gvsa123> can anyone point me to a more appropriate channel regarding security issues... my yahoo password changed, but i got it back now.
[11:39] <Gowrav> I have installed java but not able to find where it is installed .. how can i find the jvm path !!!
[11:39] <GreyWolfe> Gordon: I am having trouble accessing the recovery partition of my XP HD, GRUB seems to want to run no matter what I try to do though, and my system seems to ignore the fact that I have tried to interrupt the boot sequence
[11:39] <rothchild> no error no message I know but it doesn't seem to make any difference /media/usbdisk is still owned by root
[11:40] <magnetron> gvsa123: the yahoo support crew?
[11:40] <Nyle> ok we're good now
[11:40] <SrPilha> anyone?
[11:40] <gvsa123> magnetron: on freenode i mean
[11:40] <IndyGunFreak> rothchild: well, your grouop/user names might be off, i gave you that example as how my machine is set up, yours may not be marc:marc
[11:40] <slimjimflim> Gowrav: `which java` ...that's the command
[11:40] <SrPilha> ppl, how do I check what filesystem I have on an external usb drive?
[11:40] <Gowrav> slimjimflim: thanx trying
[11:41] <rothchild> the user is right, not so sure about groups is there  a good default option to set it to?
[11:41] <astro76> SrPilha, if it's mounted, the output of 'mount' will tell you
[11:41] <IndyGunFreak> rothchild: not that i know of.
[11:41] <nvtou> bonjour
[11:41] <Skumlesen> GreyWolfe: if your cd drive is setup as first boot option in bios, grub cannot prevent you from booting on the winxp cdrom
[11:41] <SrPilha> astro76, it mounts automatically when I plug it - where should I look for that output?
[11:41] <magnetron> hi nvtou
[11:41] <astro76> SrPilha, type 'mount' in a terminal
[11:41] <GreyWolfe> I was not given an XP cd when I got the computer, it came with the recovery partition instead.
[11:42] <SrPilha> astro76, ok will do - thx :)
[11:42] <slimjimflim> SrPilha, most of them are fat32 by default
[11:42] <IndyGunFreak> rothchild: does the drive have data on it that you need?
[11:42] <GreyWolfe> Although, I guess I could just download XP and burn a CD, I have my own serial number anyways
[11:42] <rothchild> yes but I might be able to do something about it what are you suggesting?

[11:42] <webpower> ci sei?

[11:44] <magnetron> GreyWolfe: do you have permission from MS to make copies of winxp cds? if not, it's piracy. take that discussion somewhere else plz
[11:44] <Msh100> :D
[11:45] <Msh100> tild?
[11:45] <[DCH] Bret> tild
[11:45] <bhara1> hello
[11:45] <Msh100> ?r
[11:45] <GreyWolfe> I was under the impression that MS offered a download of XP on their website provided you prove you have a legal serial number. That is what I am referring to.
[11:45] <slimjimflim> it's a spanish word
[11:45] <magnetron> hi bhara1
[11:45] <rothchild> OT I don' think greywolfe is talking about piracy, he has a licence that came with the machine
[11:45] <Msh100> h?lL?
[11:45] <IndyGunFreak> GreyWolfe: lol, thats hilarious
[11:46] <[DCH] Bret> lol
[11:46] <slimjimflim> GreyWolfe, do you have a link?
[11:46] <[DCH] Bret> If they did that, then anyone could have a serial key (real or fake) and get a free download.
[11:46] <IndyGunFreak> slimjimflim: i highly doubt he does.
[11:46] <slimjimflim> so do i
[11:46] <magnetron> GreyWolfe: winxp as a free download from MS if you provide serial? yeah right
[11:47] <GreyWolfe> I am looking now, I haven't checked, it was an idea. I know alot of their support requires a serial number to be provided
[11:47] <slimjimflim> you're full of it
[11:47] <rothchild> ms won't provide it that's for sure
[11:48] <IndyGunFreak> GreyWolfe: you'll be on that search for a while, just so hyou know.
[11:48] <magnetron> GreyWolfe: they don't offer windows as a download. period.
[11:48] <rothchild> they'll certainly want to see a receipt ;-)
[11:48] <faileas> GreyWolfe: they didn't. you can ask the OEM though
[11:48] <GreyWolfe> slim, bite me, you to magnatron. I have never tried to find this before, but then again, I should have assumed that MS tech support is as good as their actual product
[11:48] <faileas> magnetron: not exactly. you CAN download a windows iso legally through MSDN
[11:48] <slimjimflim> insite:microsoft.com "free operating system" OR "free trade secret download" OR "xp source code"
[11:49] <slimjimflim> google that
[11:49] <jurgentje> Anyone here who could help me out on an Apache issue? (when visiting the "localhost" site inside the LAN... all links made are referring to "localhost" instead of the internal IP... (local server is Joomla)
[11:49] <astro76> GreyWolfe, at this risk of OT, you can buy a replacement CD (assuming you had one to begin with) for $35 from them... feel your pain though, a recovery partition is next to worthless compared to an actual cd
[11:49] <IndyGunFreak> slimjimflim: lol
[11:49] <faileas> hmm
[11:49] <faileas> actually
[11:50] <faileas> you can make a recovery cd/dvd from the partition before hand
[11:50] <faileas> GreyWolfe: what make of laptop?
[11:50] <GreyWolfe> It's a desktop
[11:50] <slimjimflim> what does that have to do w/ ubuntu
[11:50] <astro76> he lost access to it installing Ubuntu, fair enough
[11:51] <slimjimflim> oic
[11:51] <[DCH] Bret> Does anyone know if i can get Remote Desktop Connection to access my servers on linux?
[11:51] <magnetron> !windows
[11:51] <ubotu> For help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and !equivalents
[11:51] <rothchild> rothchild is still on the edge of his seat for a decent solution for his usb drive woes
[11:52] <faileas> it would happen with any linux ;p
[11:52] <faileas> rothchild: what issue exactly?
[11:52] <slimjimflim> GreyWolfe, did you check w/ your computer's manufacturer to see if they provide their own system restore? usually there's a hotkey you can hit at boot
[11:52] <rothchild> no auto mount and then persistent permissions problems when manual mounting
[11:52] <Skumlesen> [DCH] Bret: there are tons remote tools for linux, the remote desktop you know from MS os not one of them, but there are lost of laternatives
[11:52] <IndyGunFreak> rothchild: the chmod command should work, i've used it many times, the only thing different in yours, is its fat32, and i've always done it on ext3 drives,s o maybe tahts the difference
[11:53] <GreyWolfe> That is what I tried slim, the boot sequence just continues as if I did nothing
[11:53] <slimjimflim> well, did you look up your specific model?
[11:53] <astro76> rothchild, for the no auto-mounting problem, you might want to try a dosfsck on it
[11:53] <GreyWolfe> Not yet, I'll have a look
[11:53] <slimjimflim> bingo
[11:53] <rothchild> astro76 thanks, what will that do?
[11:54] <astro76> rothchild, fix any filesystem errors, I've had that cure automounting for fat32 externals
[11:54] <astro76> rothchild, eg. sudo dosfsck /dev/whatever (must be unmounted)
[11:54] <slimjimflim> GreyWolfe just promise you won't get scared of linux and not come back
[11:55] <Skumlesen> after trying ubuntu, I'm not going windows again
[11:55] <GreyWolfe> Nah, actually I am enjoying Linux.
[11:55] <rothchild> ok looks good can you guide me through?
[11:55] <IndyGunFreak> Skumlesen: well, don't completely abandon windows just yet.. its good to have a safetyblanket in case of a problem.
[11:55] <GreyWolfe> The only reason I want to keep XP going is that the frame rates on my games seem to die when I play them with WINE
[11:56] <Syonyde> Linux is very fickle, but too awesome to leave now.
[11:56] <rothchild> do I need an FSINFO sector
[11:56] <booster_614> it takes a while to learn it
[11:56] <Syonyde> Indeed.
[11:56] <slimjimflim> GreyWolfe ya, me too, but i haven't given up on it
[11:56] <astro76> rothchild, what said that?
[11:56] <Syonyde> I hope when I get this laptop configured I can laugh about it and call myself a noob.
[11:56] <booster_614> <-----still has problems with shell
[11:57] <GreyWolfe> I got Compiz Fusion to work after hours of messing about with my stupid ATI video card. That was something of an accomplishment considering I had very little idea what I was doing.
[11:57] <rothchild> I'm running dosfsck /dev/sdc1
[11:57] <Syonyde> What ATI card by chance?
[11:57] <spasticfantastic> hi
[11:57] <Skumlesen> GreyWolfe: what did you do since the dualboot does not work anymore, do you know?
[11:57] <astro76> rothchild, ahh, I'd fix any problems reported
[11:57] <GreyWolfe> What do you mean Skum?
[11:58] <GreyWolfe> Radeon XPRESS 200
[11:58] <spasticfantastic> has anyone managed to get non-furry fonts on feisty?
[11:58] <Syonyde> Hmm
[11:58] <Skumlesen> GreyWolfe: did you just reboot linux, and choose winxp at boot and it didn't work?
[11:58] <GreyWolfe> It's decent, but I really want to upgrade it once I have the cash kicking around
[11:58] <rothchild> hmm, 'fats differ use first or second?'
[11:58] <slimjimflim> GreyWolfe if you have problems w/ grub/lilo, you can always install one os on each hd and switch them from bios
[11:58] <Syonyde> I have an XPress Radeon 1200
[11:58] <booster_614> i cant figure out how to get compiz fousin to work...it came with my distro and i can see the settings menu but i cant get it to work
[11:58] <astro76> rothchild, err.. could you paste more of that to pastebin so we can see?
[11:59] <Syonyde> I wanted it to work, but I'd be happy getting my native resolution working.
[11:59] <astro76> !paste | rothchild
[11:59] <ubotu> rothchild: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[11:59] <GreyWolfe> slim, I tried that, they are set up on different HDs, and even trying to boot from the XP HD, it still runs GRUB
[11:59] <triplc> hi all
[11:59] <GreyWolfe> Skum: Yea that's what I did
[12:00] <rothchild> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37517/
[12:00] <Skumlesen> I know the command for updating lilo, is just lilo, but what is it under grub?
[12:00] <slimjimflim> GreyWolfe. does bios see both drives?
[12:00] <GreyWolfe> Yup slim
[12:01] <Kiran_mac> anyone using postgresql in ubuntu here ...
[12:01] <magnetron> spasticfantastic: to get sharp fonts, go to System > preferences > fonts and select sub pixel rendering
[12:01] <astro76> rothchild, wow I've never seen that, do you have important data on this drive?
[12:01] <Lattyware> Could someone help me, I get this trying to launch firestarter: gareth@gBox42:~$ sudo firestarter Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified (firestarter:10055): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[12:01] <slimjimflim> try unplugging the ubuntu drive and see what happens
[12:01] <NooB> suck
[12:02] <GreyWolfe> I tried that as well, GRUB still boots
[12:02] <spasticfantastic> magnetron: i tried that first with no success. i then did a find and found all the fonts on my system, then added them to xorg.conf after doing a mkfontdir/mkfontscale. i've also played with ~/.fonts.conf but it still looks blurred
[12:02] <rothchild> relatively but I can back it up to a windows box in the meantime if needs be, If I have to reformat it I need it to be shareable between windows and linux boxen
[12:02] <slimjimflim> then your mbr is corrupt
[12:02] <astro76> rothchild, well either way you might have damage (which is probably why it doesn't automount). I'd probably just pick the first one
[12:02] <astro76> rothchild, backup first then
[12:02] <GhostOfTheNet> have a question, i'm actually writing some functionality for the kuserok.c file to look up in an ladp directory instead of the .k5login file. my problem ist, when i configure the kerberos sources wiht LDFLAGS=-lldap some modules of kerberos can not comile. but i don't know howto modify the makefile.in to only adds -lldap to the kuserok.o
[12:03] <rothchild> top tip, thanks astro76
[12:03] <slimjimflim> try what i said first w/ the system restore
[12:03] <astro76> rothchild, http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/neurosetta/2003-July/000310.html
[12:03] <viper69_> viper69 on line
[12:03] <GreyWolfe> slim, You mean using the factory built in system restore?
[12:03] <triplc> How to mix with repo of Debian sid? (sorry if the question is about another distro). I am using Ubuntu, and I'd like to play wesnoth version 1.2.6 which is only available in other repo. I added "deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ sid main" into the /etc/apt/source.list, (and create /etc/apt/preferences as well). But after running apt-get update, it says error: "E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room" "E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.au.debian.org
[12:03] <magnetron> spasticfantastic: in the same dialog, click on "details..." and choose the one that's suitable for your LCD screen
[12:03] <slimjimflim> GreyWolfe yes
[12:03] <astro76> triplc, yeah you can't do that
[12:04] <GreyWolfe> I tried that before I came here. Several times. The boot sequence continues as if I had done nothing.
[12:04] <booster_614> hey does beryl or compiz have a channel???
[12:04] <GhostOfTheNet> what do you need booster?
[12:04] <slimjimflim> you said you didn't look up directions for you specific box...google model #
[12:04] <faileas> spasticfantastic: furry fonts?
[12:04] <spasticfantastic> magnetron: oh it's a lot better since i cleaned my glasses
[12:05] <magnetron> lol
[12:05] <astro76> triplc, either install from official repos, failing that use a .deb designed for your Ubuntu version, failing that compile from source
[12:05] <GreyWolfe> Ahh ok. when I boot, it offers the option to System Restore at the same time it allows me to access the System Setup and such
[12:05] <magnetron> booster_614: #ubuntu-effects
[12:05] <slimjimflim> ya
[12:05] <triplc> astro76: i do not understand
[12:05] <slimjimflim> that
[12:05] <booster_614> i need help trying to figure why when i enable desktop effects my window borders vanish....and the cube dosent work
[12:05] <GreyWolfe> I tried that
[12:05] <booster_614> im on that channel but there is no one in htere
[12:05] <astro76> triplc, which part?
[12:06] <GreyWolfe> That is what I was saying I tried several times.
[12:06] <freetos>  /join #politics
[12:06] <GhostOfTheNet> you use fiesty?
[12:06] <booster_614> yes
[12:06] <slimjimflim> dunno then
[12:06] <GreyWolfe> Okay, thanks anyways.
[12:06] <slimjimflim> recuva, and reinstall
[12:06] <spasticfantastic> how stable are the gutsy prereleases?
[12:06] <magnetron> booster_614: use restricted driver manager to make sure you have the appropriate driver installed
[12:06] <triplc> astro76: actually, the idea of mixing up repo is what i read on wesnoth website: http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/WesnothBinariesLinux.
[12:06] <Skumlesen> GreyWolfe: have you tried doing an sudo update-grub
[12:06] <slimjimflim> i run feisty
[12:07] <magnetron> spasticfantastic: still alpha stage
[12:07] <booster_614> it says i dont need any restricted drivers
[12:07] <slimjimflim> yay for it
[12:07] <moggio_> what's the channel name for gutsy?
[12:07] <spasticfantastic> magnetron: worth trying?
[12:07] <GreyWolfe> Skum: Nope, I really don't know what to do. I am a complete Linux noob, having only installed it a few days ago.
[12:07] <NooB> noob?
[12:07] <GhostOfTheNet> booster look for my private message
[12:07] <NooB> yes?
[12:08] <booster_614> i didnt get one from you
[12:08] <Skumlesen> GreyWolfe: : try that, as it updates the mbr
[12:08] <astro76> triplc, that page warns specifically NOT to use the Debian package with Ubuntu (Do not attempt to install the debian package and associated dependencies using dpkg as you will break your environment! )
[12:08] <GreyWolfe> just sudo update-grub?
[12:08] <slimjimflim> anybody wanna recommend web design software?
[12:08] <magnetron> spasticfantastic: the beta will be released in a couple of weeks, the final release will be in a month. i would wait to beta at least
[12:08] <Skumlesen> yes
[12:08] <triplc> astro76: maybe i go to wesnoth irc room to see
[12:09] <astro76> triplc, either follow the Feisty instructions or the compiling instructions unless you want a broken system (http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/WesnothBinariesLinux#Compiling_2)
[12:09] <spasticfantastic> magnetron: seems like a quick turnover
[12:09] <moggio_> there's problems with openoffice pdf export, have they been fixed?
[12:09] <webpower> erver irc.azzurra.org
[12:09] <GreyWolfe> Ok, updated, I'll go try booting over again.
[12:09] <triplc> astro76: ah,... that's the "official warning"... which mean they have their guide to mix distro right below that :-)
[12:09] <astro76> triplc, and you're having problems, seems like a valid warning
[12:10] <magnetron> !gutsy  | spasticfantastic , moggio_
[12:10] <ubotu> spasticfantastic , moggio_: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[12:10] <astro76> !debian | triplc
[12:10] <ubotu> triplc: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!
[12:10] <spasticfantastic> magnetron: cool, a beta in less than a week
[12:10] <leszek> hi
[12:10] <GhostOfTheNet> booster_614: foget the message, come to #booster
[12:10] <triplc> ubotu: yes... i know the relationship...
[12:10] <spasticfantastic> slimjimflim: vim does a good job
[12:11] <booster_614> ok
[12:11] <triplc> ok thanks you guys, i'll find another way
[12:11] <astro76> triplc, note the warning in the last line ;)
[12:11] <Skumlesen> a normal user can't mount a ntfs partition on anther harddrive, but you can as root, but still the normal user cant access the files, do anyone have a soltion for this?
[12:11] <Gowrav> can ubuntu install bz2 type offiles..i need quanta plus to install ... can i proceed with download the file on my slow net connection ... (or after 3 hours i come to know bz2 .. ubuntu can't handle what to do now)
[12:11] <codester> anyone know the package name that i gotta pull in in order to get usb mouse and keyboard working for ubuntu 7.04?
[12:11] <Skumlesen> so a normal user can see the files?
[12:12] <astro76> Gowrav, quanta is available in Ubuntu's repositories
[12:12] <Gowrav> astro76: thanx
[12:13] <Kiran_mac> !postgresql
[12:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about postgresql - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[12:13] <Gowrav> I have some packages that says "web development environment for KDE" can i install it on gnome ubuntu !!
[12:14] <faileas> Gowrav: yes
[12:14] <faileas> we really need a bot thing for that ><
[12:14] <astro76> Gowrav, sudo apt-get install quanta
[12:14] <Gowrav> faileas: thanx
[12:15] <Gowrav> astro76: thanx..
[12:15] <faileas> kde apps will work on gnome, gnome will work on KDE. only thing is that KDE apps will need some additional libs so if your space concious you need to be aware of that

[12:17] <GreyWolfe> I am going to try one more time with my externa HD completely disconnected instead of just powered down
[12:17] <nanbudh> guys any help on privoxy for me?
[12:18] <faileas> ,,,
[12:18] <Sepero> leszek: Use the same program to burn it?
[12:18] <faileas> damnut
[12:18] <nanbudh> it gives 404 error(domain name could not be resolved)
[12:18] <faileas> i was about to give Greywolfe a possible solution to his issue ;p
[12:18] <leszek> Sepero: yes but the iso does not work
[12:19] <arex\> How do I connect a wireless network from the terminal?
[12:19] <Sepero> leszek: I wish I could tell ya more, but i dunno
[12:19] <leszek> Sepero: thats the main problem i think the two isos are exactly the same, but the one boots normal the other stops at squashfs
[12:20] <spasticfantastic> leszek: compare md5sums of the isos, there probably different
[12:20] <degrit> 'allo
[12:20] <Gowrav> If this problem of mine solves .. then i can a sure to be on linux or i am not stable to stick with linux .... I can go to my windows systems in network but can't write them .. how i can use my ntfs partitions or windows network system as read-writable
[12:20] <Sepero> spasticfantastic: good idea
[12:20] <leszek> spasticfantastic: they are exactly the same thats the strange think
[12:20] <leszek> thing ;)
[12:21] <faileas> Gowrav: yeah, for network, samba, for ntfs ntfs-3g
[12:21] <Sepero> leszek: md5sum /location/to/cddrive
[12:21] <spasticfantastic> leszek: create new isos from the media and compare there md5sums
[12:21] <faileas> GreyWolfe: ping!
[12:21] <leszek> spasticfantastic: k
[12:21] <Gowrav> faileas: i have installed samba client but even then i can't write to my network systems ... permission issue ??
[12:22] <spasticfantastic> leszek: or a slower method would be to diff -r the mounted volumes
[12:22] <faileas> GreyWolfe: back up linux. manually add the drive with the recovery partition to grub. see if it boots ;p
[12:22] <leszek> spasticfantastic: i did the diff method few hours ago ;)
[12:22] <faileas> Gowrav; TBH i don't use samba, its slow. i use local web servers on every system ;p
[12:22] <GreyWolfe> Still doesn't work. If I try to install with my Ubuntu HD disconnected, GRUB still tries to load, and i get Error 21, which I am looking up now.
[12:22] <degrit> I have an odd problem: since yesterday, after a while the graphics take on a peculiar look, as if the color depth gets reduced to 8bit and a saturation/solarization filter is applied - if I restart X with ctrl-alt-bksp, everything turns back to normal
[12:23] <Sepero> spasticfantastic: diff the mounted volume might not get the boot sector
[12:23] <spasticfantastic> leszek: of the actual media? or looped isos?
[12:23] <leszek> spasticfantastic: looped isos
[12:23] <spasticfantastic> Sepero: no, it wont be which is why dd'ing to an iso is better
[12:23] <spasticfantastic> leszek: that wont show dodgy media
[12:23] <uptownben> Hi All. I just installed UBUNTU on my thinkpad x24 and I see that it does not recognize any compact flash cards that are plugged into the CF slot of the x24. anyone know how to solve this?
[12:24] <spasticfantastic> leszek: which it's beginning to look like
[12:24] <spasticfantastic> uptownben: do an lspci to detect which controller it uses. then google the chipset and ubuntu to see if it's been solved before
[12:25] <wi1> hi, umm, i don't want my hard drives to show up on the desktop. how do i get rid of them?
[12:25] <spasticfantastic> uptownben: might require a kernel tweak or firmware
[12:25] <spasticfantastic> wi1: reverse what you did to get them there - it's not a default
[12:25] <degrit> any clue on weird-and-sudden-changes-of-visuals fellows ? P:
[12:25] <Sepero> spasticfantastic: I think it is the default
[12:26] <leszek> spasticfantastic: interesting is that after entering something an pressing enter, when the live cd stops at squashfs its running again and starts normal, but if i do not enter anything it just stops
[12:26] <spasticfantastic> Sepero: isn't on this base feisty machine
[12:26] <wi1> spasticfantastic: i wasnt specific. they are usb drives and a second partition. they show up on default
[12:26] <TickBRown> Goog morning guys
[12:26] <jonnymac> morning
[12:26] <Sepero> spasticfantastic: I have a feisty machine too
[12:27] <spasticfantastic> wi1: ahh when you said "hard drive" i thought you meant what you said
[12:27] <uptownben> when I plug the CF card in I I see SCSI3: pata_pcmcia in the messages file, then I see "qc timeout (cmd 0x91)
[12:27] <frogz> wi1: it's in the gnome editor options, for nautilus "show volumes on desktop"
[12:27] <jonnymac> just thought I'd ask, what's the best cd/dvd ripper/burner

[12:27] <wi1> frogz: ah thx
[12:28] <CountX> whats wrong with emerald-themer?

[12:28] <frogz> CountX: click restart window manager & new theme will start
[12:28] <spasticfantastic> jonnymac: mkisofs/cdrecord work great for burning
[12:28] <wi1> spasticfantastic: thanks for your help, but really, the are hard drives :)
[12:28] <CountX> frogz, where is that
[12:28] <frogz> CountX: on the emerald
[12:29] <CountX> frogz, thanks so much for helping but i cant find it
[12:29] <spasticfantastic> wi1: hehe
[12:29] <frogz> CountX: click on the emerald - what options?
[12:29] <CountX> frogz, it isnt there
[12:29] <frogz> CountX: it's there
[12:30] <CountX> frogz, just things like minimize and maximize
[12:30] <GreyWolfe> Ok, another suggestion has been given, can anyone walk me through adding a GRUB entry?
[12:30] <spasticfantastic> wi1: "A hard disk drive (HDD), commonly referred to as a hard drive, hard disk or fixed disk drive,[1]  is a non-volatile storage device which stores digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating platters with magnetic surfaces."
[12:30] <frogz> CountX: take a longer look
[12:30] <speps> hey guys...issue with rhythmbox. Some mp3 jumps every 2 seconds ...the files are good, if i play with other player the sounds perfect!Any idea???
[12:30] <spasticfantastic> wi1: "USB flash drives are NAND-type flash memory data storage devices integrated with a USB (universal serial bus) interface."
[12:31] <spasticfantastic> wi1: get the picture?
[12:31] <frogz> spasticfantastic: any way to increase rhythmbox's buffer space maybe?
[12:31] <GBenemy> Hello all again
[12:31] <spasticfantastic> frogz: i've never used it
[12:31] <leszek> hmm there is something wrong with the squashfs tools i think if i extract the filesystem.squashfs from the original feisty livecd  and repack it with mksquashfs and then build a new iso the iso stops at the squashfs message
[12:31] <wi1> spasticfantastic: its a so calles "personal media drive" from HP. they are usb connected hard drives that you can, if you want, take out of your pc without having to open the case
[12:31] <frogz> spasticfantastic: me 2
[12:31] <CountX> frogz, there is nothing but:minimize maximize resize  close always on top always on visible workspace only on this workspace, and move to workspace right
[12:32] <GBenemy> I'm at the download screen for Ubuntu, and it's asking me "Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM)   OR   64bit AMD and Intel computers" I have an Intel processor but it's not 64bit its 32
[12:32] <speps> hey guys ... an issue with rhythmbox!
[12:32] <spasticfantastic> wi1: yeah, but by definitition, unless they store data magnetically on rotating platters, there more likley flash media, rather than hard driver
[12:32] <speps> some mp3 jumps every 2 seconds...
[12:32] <speps> they are good
[12:32] <faileas> GBenemy: standard
[12:32] <hackel> Can someone tell me what's wrong with this (unexpected token `then'): find . -mtime +7 -exec if grep -qe "^X-Spam-Level: \*\{6,\}$" '{}'; then mv -i '{}' /somedir; fi \;
[12:32] <GreyWolfe> Nevermind my last question, I understand how the GRUB entries work now
[12:32] <speps> because if i play them with another play they sounds perfect!
[12:33] <speps> is it a codec issue???
[12:33] <frogz> speps: any way to increase rhythmbox's buffer space maybe?
[12:33] <degrit> guys plz - anyone has the url for one of those image posting sites so's I can post screenshots and share my peculiar problem ?

[12:33] <[DCH] Bret> With as little console as possible.

[12:34] <[DCH] Bret> Did anyone answer my question about Remote Desktop Connection? Can i get that on Linux?
[12:35] <wi1> astro76: 150 gb, but the point is that i dont want them on my desktop
[12:35] <spasticfantastic> hackel: might be worth using a for on the find results - certainly easier to debug or change
[12:35] <astro76> wi1, I know, but it's definitely a HDD then, not flash ;)

[12:35] <CountX> frogz, i started beryl from a terminal and it killed all my window borders
[12:35] <speps> frogz: how???
[12:35] <astro76> jonnymac, should be enabled by default, but you can enable it in system>admin>software sources
[12:35] <CountX> frogz, now i cant close or move anything
[12:35] <hackel> spasticfantastic:  I tried that first but I've got 15000 files...too many arguments.
[12:36] <astro76> [DCH] Bret, yeah vnc works on linux
[12:36] <frogz> speps: try settings - I don't using rhythmbox
[12:36] <astro76> [DCH] Bret, but if it's a server with command line only, perhaps just ssh

[12:38] <GreyWolfe> sudo edit boot/grub/menu.lst should let me edit the GRUB menu, correct?
[12:38] <spasticfantastic> GreyWolfe: correct
[12:38] <[DCH] Bret> It's a windows dedicated server.
[12:39] <astro76> GreyWolfe, no sudo nano or gksudo gedit perhaps, and it's /boot/grub/menu.lst, you missed the first /
[12:39] <GreyWolfe> Thanks astro, I forgot the g

[12:43] <CountX> astro76, no one is helping in there
[12:43] <Gowrav> man smbmount : no manual entry !!
[12:43] <nanbudh> I think i must have installed through apt get
[12:43] <cyberphaz> remove tor and privproxy from your synaptic?
[12:43] <aycko> how can i fix my mbr to point to point to a certain mount?
[12:43] <spasticfantastic> nanbudh: apt-get remove
[12:43] <cyberphaz> ah apt-get remove
[12:43] <spasticfantastic> aycko: use the grub cli interface
[12:43] <cyberphaz> what spas said
[12:43] <nanbudh> i did not install through synaptic
[12:43] <spasticfantastic> aycko: just type grub and it's pretty self explanatory
[12:44] <cyberphaz> apt-get remove tor privproxy then
[12:44] <spasticfantastic> aycko: i.e. root (hd0,0) or w/e
[12:44] <nanbudh> cyberphaz: what wopuld be the exact command for apt get remove?
[12:44] <aycko> spasticfantastic: and then my mbr is fixed?
[12:44] <cyberphaz> apt-get remove tor
[12:44] <spasticfantastic> aycko: if you do it correctly
[12:44] <cyberphaz> and also privproxy if you installed it
[12:44] <aycko> currently windows got my mbr and my grub is on sda1
[12:45] <nanbudh> i have to uninstall and re install latest TO. do i then need to reinstall privoxy too?
[12:45] <spasticfantastic> aycko: without knowing what your partition table / objective is it's hard to advise
[12:45] <nanbudh> *TOR
[12:45] <cyberphaz> far as i know not, nanbudh
[12:45] <nanbudh> ok thanks a lot
[12:46] <aycko> spasticfantastic: sda1 -> /boot sda2 -> windows /sda3 -> root
[12:46] <aycko> and the rest is /home etc... which is not that importatn i guess
[12:46] <spasticfantastic> aycko: does your fstab reflect that?
[12:46] <aycko> yeah
[12:46] <nanbudh> another query: could any one suggest a program with which i can learn to touch type in unicode using any keyboard of my choice? i need to practice punjabi inscript keyboard
[12:47] <aycko> like i said everything is ok... just my mbr is overwriten. all boot information is still on /sda1.
[12:48] <spasticfantastic> aycko: in the grub interface try root (hd0,0) then setup (hd0) then quit
[12:48] <uptownben> i cant seem to be able to mount a windows share , any tips?

[12:48] <spasticfantastic> uptownben: is it an smb share?
[12:48] <nanbudh> how about tuxtype? wouldi be able to practice any keyboard on it?
[12:49] <uptownben> its a windows xp share
[12:49] <uptownben> so.. yes
[12:49] <aycko> spasticfantastic: cool that was easy ;)
[12:49] <spasticfantastic> aycko: yup, pretty painless
[12:50] <aycko> i guess it was the right decision to use a seperate /boot partition ;)
[12:50] <def> hello
[12:50] <spasticfantastic> uptownben: tried googling "ubuntu smb howto" ?
[12:50] <def> what is your name
[12:50] <spasticfantastic> aycko: doesn't really make much difference
[12:51] <uptownben> I just found something about since I am not root I can not mount? is that the case?.. doesnt make any sense to have a "connect to server..." and "network" menu item if I can use them...
[12:51] <bhara1> hi
[12:51] <aycko> spasticfantastic: ok, thanks anyway ;)
[12:51] <aycko> u saved my day
[12:51] <Jords> My inbuilt laptop speakers in my hp nx5000 stop working after a hibernate- any ideas? Mixer settings don't change when I hibernate and then restore
[12:51] <spasticfantastic> uptownben: you need root access to manipulate most filesystems
[12:51] <jonnymac> is there some diagnostic tool I can use to determine whether or not there are thing on my computer that are un-needed, or do the same thing as another package?
[12:52] <spasticfantastic> uptownben: fstab/sudo can be used to allow user mounts
[12:52] <spasticfantastic> aycko: no problem
[12:52] <def> good bay
[12:52] <uptownben> Spas' : so why does UBUNTU provide those menu options if they are unuseable?
[12:52] <def> exit
[12:52] <astro76> uptownben, they're not unusable
[12:52] <kraut> moin
[12:53] <spasticfantastic> jonnymac: theres probably apt-* tools to remove deprecated dependencies - i don't think you'll find anything to remove duplicate purpose utils
[12:53] <Sepero> spasticfantastic: No, there's nothing like that.
[12:53] <uptownben> but I am not logged in as root I see no place to provide a username/pass either for root or for SMB access, which keeps getting denied.
[12:53] <spasticfantastic> uptownben: because you can't se something doesn't make them unusuable
[12:54] <spasticfantastic> Sepero: thats suprising
[12:54] <uptownben> I understand, but if I cant use it... it 's unuseable.
[12:54] <gnomefreak> spasticfantastic: did you try deborphan?
[12:54] <Sepero> spasticfantastic: It is up to the user to decide if 2 programs duplicate functionality.
[12:54] <frogz> uptownben: either install smb4k, or man mount/fstab
[12:55] <spasticfantastic> Sepero: indeed, like i suggested
[12:55] <Sepero> spasticfantastic: yep
[12:55] <Sepero> Hey guys. What happens when you mix Microsoft, Linux, kids and Mortal Kombat? : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5AX6bp53UU
[12:55] <jonnymac> ok, so I'm so new I bin downloading gxine, Mplayer movie player, and finally got dvd's to work on vlc but now I got all these apps I can't get rid of
[12:55] <spasticfantastic> gnomefreak: i've no need, i think jonnymac could do with googling it
[12:55] <uptownben> frogz: that's no problem, I was just wondering why UBUNTU provides those menu items if the user cant use them..
[12:56] <spasticfantastic> jonnymac: decide on what you like/need and apt-get remove the rest, then investigate deborphan
[12:56] <gunny03> Sepero: lame.
[12:56] <toplok>  misson:candela
[12:56] <astro76> uptownben, users can use them, you're just having a problem setting up samba (not uncommon)
[12:56] <Sepero> gunny03: thanks
[12:57] <gunny03> Sepero: Better to post that stuff in #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:57] <Gowrav> i have mounted a smb path to /mnt/dualcore/C with root(su) but now I am not able to use it with other user login ( write permission denied ) !!
[12:57] <spasticfantastic> Gowrav: look at the user mount option for fstab
[12:58] <spasticfantastic> Gowrav: or take a look at man visudo
[12:58] <uptownben> astro76: the SMB command line tools are installed and I can run them and I see the SMB info on my network, but the menu items dont work (PLACES>NETWORK, PLACES>CONNECT TO SERVER...)
[12:59] <Brun> how install bootsplash on kde-look
[12:59] <spasticfantastic> uptownben: does your user have permissions to view the shares?
[01:01] <Sepero> uptownben: You've discovered out the secret we've all been trying to hide. Linux isn't perfect. :'(
[01:01] <bony> is there a way to show iceweasel as firefox? in orkut i get a message "orkut is not supported with the browser you are using" is there a way to show orkut that this browser is firefox infact?
[01:01] <uptownben> when I use smbclient -L I can see all the smares on my smb server
[01:01] <uptownben> *shares
[01:02] <spasticfantastic> uptownben: but can the user your trying to use the X applets with access the shares?
[01:02] <degrit> guys where are the desktop's color-depth settings ?
[01:02] <cyberphaz> xorg.conf far as i know
[01:02] <uptownben> spas: let me check
[01:03] <jrib> bony: you can set  general.useragent.override  in your about:config to a different user agent (a firefox one), or you can use the useragent switcher extension
[01:03] <spasticfantastic> uptownben: the first result of the google search suggested seems to explain all this
[01:04] <degrit> cyberphaz: ok seen it - can't you change from one to another from some control panel ?
[01:04] <Phlip> I just upgraded from dapper to fiesty (via edgy, of course) and now my system won't boot... I just get an error message from mdadm...  When it was upgrading, mdadm asked me what stuff it should do on boot, and I said "none" since I don't use RAID... has this broken something? And if so, how can I fix it?
[01:05] <jonnymac> if I remove gxine, it'll remove the plugin as well, will that affect the vlc player?
[01:05] <jrib> jonnymac: no, it shouldn't
[01:05] <spasticfantastic> jonnymac: i don't think vlc will be affected
[01:05] <jonnymac> ty
[01:05] <bony> jrib: well there is no general.useragent.override in about:config but when i change the value of general.useragent.extra.firefox from "Iceweasel/<IP_ADDRESS>" to "Firefox/<IP_ADDRESS>" it worked
[01:06] <jrib> bony: create the string
[01:06] <jonnymac> should I complete removal or just removal?
[01:06] <ghost> can someone help me with the makefiles and configure script of kerberos?
[01:06] <jrib> bony: or your way works too I suppose :)
[01:06] <astro76> jonnymac, complete will remove the programs config files as well
[01:06] <bony> jrib: yeah anyways thanks for suggestions :-)
[01:07] <Prowler_1> password protect a folder?
[01:08] <Gowrav> how can i change permissions of a directory and its sub directory .. without su i am not able to make folders in their ...
[01:08] <astro76> Prowler_1, unless you want encryption, just set permissions and ownership appropriately.
[01:08] <astro76> Gowrav, where?
[01:08] <spasticfantastic> Prowler_1: you can either create a tarball from the directory and encrypt it or encrypt the contents.. either way take a look at openssl or gpg
[01:09] <jrib> !permission > Gowrav (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:09] <spasticfantastic> Gowrav: man chmod
[01:09] <jrib> Gowrav: don't change permissions on system directories though, since if you change the wrong thing, you can break your system
[01:09] <Gowrav> astro76: i have mounted samba path to /mnt/dualcore/C (//dualcore and C share) with root permission (su) not when i am not su .. my other softwares like quanta etc are not able to make folders or files here ..
[01:10] <jrib> !samba > Gowrav (see the private message from ubotu)

[01:26] <Gowrav> h1st0: yap i also came to know this !
[01:26] <Tasmaniac> _nand_, compagny? you mean company? (not beung rude)
[01:27] <Tasmaniac> geez my spelling sux
[01:27] <Balsus> just googleing virtualbox now
[01:27] <_nand_> Tasmaniac: compagny?
[01:27] <Balsus> my spelling is worse.
[01:27] <_nand_> oooh
[01:28] <Tasmaniac> _nand_, on the community wishes spec page
[01:28] <h1st0> Balsus: Its pretty nice alternative to vmware.  Plus it GPL
[01:28] <_nand_> Tasmaniac: sorry this is the french word for firm
[01:28] <kujo> h1st0: I installed Ubuntu onto my comp using a live cd. Is there any way, though, to find out if I'm missing a custom kernel, which one it is, and how to get it?
[01:28] <_nand_> Tasmaniac: i correct it :)
[01:28] <Balsus> hmm so does GPL mean I could use it at work.
[01:28] <h1st0> kujo: you didn't build a custom kernel if you don't even know what it is.
[01:28] <Balsus> sorry silly question
[01:28] <Tasmaniac> _nand_, no probs I'm native english and my spellin worse :)
[01:29] <h1st0> kujo: can you pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.1st
[01:29] <Balsus> LOL
[01:29] <_nand_> Tasmaniac: lol :) thanks for the hint, corrected :)
[01:29] <h1st0> Balsus: it means its open source.  VMware is not.
[01:29] <Balsus> excellent
[01:29] <h1st0> Balsus: err I should say its open source licensed under the GPL
[01:29] <Balsus> I will check it out
[01:29] <crypto> i have a small network running at home. i have utuntu server 7.4 installed on 1 PC and it is being used as a file server (using SAMBA). can someone please guide so that windows authentication automatically maps with relevant folders being shared on the file server.
[01:30] <dashfield> Does anyone know why stopping mysql would fail? Using "/etc/init.d/mysql stop"
[01:30] <kujo> h1st0: thank you for your help. Sorry, I'm a total noob :P
[01:30] <h1st0> crypto: edit the smb.conf and change security user to security share
[01:30] <gunny03> dashfield: you may need to sudo it?
[01:30] <Tasmaniac> crypto samba home page is really good
[01:30] <uptownben> OK..  So I am trying to figure out how a user can make use of the PLACES>CONNECT TO SERVER and PLACES>NETWORK menu options, I want to be able to mount a windows xp (SMB) share using those menu options..
[01:30] <crypto> Tasmaniac: read it but got confused.
[01:30] <Tasmaniac> dashfield, did you do sudo
[01:31] <h1st0> uptownben: what do you mean the are already there?
[01:31] <ZeroA4> Virtualbox is GPL if you download the source from the cvs/svn and compile it i think... the pre-made binaries are not GPL... and have extra functions like USB
[01:31] <dashfield> gunny03:  Ah, sadly it is being run by cron, so it should already be OK. :( But thanks.
[01:31] <crypto> h1st0: ok i'll do that. how do i allow so that a particular windows user has access to one folder but not the other
[01:31] <dashfield> Tasmaniac:  Cron is running it, but thanks for the suggestion.
[01:31] <h1st0> uptownben: click on places Net work and browse for the windows machine
[01:31] <h1st0> crypto: thats a little trickier then you want user auth not share authorization.  Let me get you a good howto hold up.
[01:32] <crypto> h1st0: that will be great. thank u
[01:32] <h1st0> crypto: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#Samba_Server
[01:32] <crypto> thanks
[01:32] <acuster> Hey all, how do I find the folk involved in bringing the java program to ubuntu?
[01:32] <h1st0> dashfield: you should still be able to stop it with sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
[01:32] <gnomefreak> acuster: #ubuntu-motu
[01:33] <dashfield> h1st0: Oh I can do that. :) The problem is that when cron runs the command it doesn't work. This is bad, because I have to stop the daemon before backing up the database regularly.
[01:34] <ashu18> does anyone know how 2 play *.dat files in ubuntu?
[01:34] <MageOAO> anybody know of any good flash mx video tatoreals ?
[01:34] <Balsus> How do I get rid of my man boobs
[01:34] <ashu18> can it b played on totem?
[01:34] <Balsus> LOL just playin
[01:34] <h1st0> dashfield: why is cron running the command?
[01:35] <h1st0> ashu18: I would try vlc that pretty much plays anything.
[01:35] <uptownben> h1st0: that's what I did and I get a "folder canno tbe displayed" error..
[01:35] <uptownben> h1st0: that's what I did and I get a "folder canno tbe displayed" error..
[01:35] <uptownben> oops.
[01:35] <ompaul> dashfield, are you offering it an environment before you ask cron to run it?
[01:36] <h1st0> ashu18: thats a vcd file isn't it?
[01:36] <null> Hello, what is the way to use clamav without using amavis-new using postfix?
[01:36] <h1st0> !restricted | ashu18
[01:36] <ubotu> ashu18: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[01:36] <uptownben> I see no place to provide a smb username and password.
[01:36] <dashfield> h1st0: I have a bash script. All it does is stop mysql, run rsync, then start it again. This is to backup the databases and other files. Only when cron tries to stop mysql it comes back as "Failed"
[01:36] <h1st0> ashu18: follow the directions from ubotu
[01:36] <ZeroA4> ashu18, .dat is a generic extension used for many diferent things. if its a video totem may be able to play it if you have de need codecs installed
[01:36] <dashfield> ompaul: Now, this is a bit of a newb question, but how would I do that?
[01:36] <uptownben> I can onyl mount the share using smbmount (-t smbfs) as root.
[01:37] <h1st0> Maybe it was ompaul that was talking to me about it or something? Joining the community creating a wiki etc... when I used to go by chuckyp
[01:37] <uptownben> so my question remains, what does ubuntu provide those unuseable menu options under PLACES?
[01:37] <ashu18> hlst0: yes it's a vcd file
[01:37] <ompaul> dashfield, offer it a shell within the script would be a start
[01:37] <h1st0> uptownben: they are not unusuable they work fine?  Are you trying to connect to a samba share or a windows share?
[01:37] <ompaul> dashfield, tell it what paths its needs if it does not know them
[01:38] <sethc_>   /bin/sh: /usr/bin/esd: not found
[01:38] <ZeroA4> uptownben, they are shortcuts to places most visited
[01:38] <ashu18> ZeroA4: yes it's a video
[01:38] <sethc_> it really gets annoying, is there a way to turn that off besides installing esound?
[01:38] <dashfield> ompaul: I see. I assumed it would just happily run the script from cron. the script just uses "/etc/init.d/mysql stop". How should I better define that?
[01:38] <uptownben> h1st0: a windows xp share
[01:38] <ashu18> ZeroA4: i hav installed all the codecs i could find in add / remove... (3 in all)
[01:38] <uptownben> ZeroA4, but they are unuseable.. which what I dont understand,,
[01:39] <ZeroA4> ashu18, gstreamer codecs?
[01:39] <codester> does anyone have a work around for ubuntu 7.04 usb & keyboard problem? i am trying to help a friend with it and i dont seem to know why a defualt installation of ubuntu cant detect a usb keyboard and mouse
[01:39] <ashu18> ZeroA4: yes
[01:39] <h1st0> uptownben: they would work for non security shares.  Normal public share
[01:39] <ZeroA4> uptownben, i use it quite a lot
[01:39] <ashu18> ZeroA4: will vlc play the file?
[01:39] <uptownben> are your SMB shares not pw protected?  opne?
[01:39] <ZeroA4> ashu18, lol! i was just writing to you try vlc :)
[01:40] <dashfield> ompaul: Apart from this problem, the machine works nicely as a webserver/mailserver. Its been fun to setup, too... I just need to make the daily backup work.
[01:40] <magnetron> codester: turn off the "USB keyboard and mouse support" in BIOS
[01:40] <ompaul> dashfield, with no passwords stick it into a pastebin but #!/bin/bash at the start is a useful idea
[01:40] <_nand_> codester: check on the BIOS
[01:40] <ashu18> ZeroA4: lol.... i m downloading it now anyway
[01:40] <h1st0> uptownben: you can do it either way.  The user can configure them that way.
[01:40] <ZeroA4> uptownben, SMB shares are not a unix/linux place thing
[01:40] <uptownben> ZeroA4: How did you set them up?
[01:40] <codester> magnetron, yeh i asked him to check about bios, he said there is no usb option in there, any other way?
[01:40] <ompaul> dashfield, I would imagine it is something very simple that is tripping you up
[01:41] <magnetron> codester: search in launchpad, see if it's a known bug
[01:41] <ZeroA4> uptownben, i dont use smb shares much... i prefer using ssh
[01:41] <h1st0> I have to catch some zzz's have a wedding later.
[01:41] <codester> magnetron, ahh k thanks
[01:42] <dashfield> ompaul: Oh, I've got #!/bin/bash in the script. Hmm, perhaps I'm looking at this the wrong way. Should I maybe stop apache after stopping mysql?
[01:42] <uptownben> ZeroA4: I have a vanilla install of ubuntu on my laptop, after install, I want to access the password protected shares on my windows network, using the PLACES menu options I cannot.
[01:42] <dashfield> ompaul: For some reason I cannot fathom, the mysql.err is blank. So I have no clues there.
[01:42] <ZeroA4> uptownben, there is a network place there, dont?
[01:42] <ompaul> dashfield, if it works one way i.e. when called from the command luine
[01:42] <jonnymac> how do I run deborphan?
[01:42] <sirbu> sorry my english, can anyone help how to clean local dns cache?
[01:43] <uptownben> When I usually use LinNeighborhood I am able to provide the username and password and it works fine.
[01:43] <ompaul> dashfield, and not another way then - the command line has properties your script does not
[01:43] <magnetron> uptownben: set the correct network name in System > administration > shared folders
[01:43] <dashfield> ompaul: That is logical, yes.
[01:43] <ompaul> dashfield, put in full paths to each and every part of the script
[01:43] <uptownben> ZeroA4: what?
[01:43] <booster_614> hey guys now that i have beryl running...can anyone tell me were i can find any cool skydome pics ???
[01:43] <dashfield> ompaul: I'll go over it again. Thank you.
[01:43] <h1st0> booster_614: gnome-look
[01:43] <booster_614> ok thanks guys
[01:43] <ZeroA4> uptownben, places - network : will open a nautilus with a list of networked machines
[01:44] <ashu18> ZeroA4: is automatix good?
[01:44] <ZeroA4> uptownben, much like windows network places i guess
[01:44] <uptownben> ZeroA4: correct, that is what I see.
[01:44] <sidewalk> how do i setup beryl, to run automatically?
[01:44] <magnetron> !automatix | ashu18 , ZeroA4
[01:44] <ubotu> ashu18 , ZeroA4: Automatix2 is a block of code which attempts to install some software.  When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it.  A creditable analysis from a debian/ubuntu developer is here - http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html (Additional information: /msg ubotu worksforme)
[01:45] <ZeroA4> ashu18, some people in the forums say it brokens ubuntu... i dont use is
[01:45] <uptownben> ZeroA4: I can also see a list of my local "workgroups"..
[01:45] <magnetron> !beryl | sidewalk
[01:45] <ubotu> sidewalk: beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects
[01:45] <jez999> Is there a way to mount removable drives (eg. USB dongle) in a synchronous non-buffered mode?
[01:45] <uptownben> ZeroA4: but when I click on a workgroup, I get the error
[01:45] <ashu18> ZeroA4: vlc not playing .dat file either! ;(
[01:45] <ZeroA4> uptownben, from there you can access windows shares... nautilus ask for user/password/domain if needed
[01:46] <uptownben> ZeroA4: it's not asking.
[01:46] <ZeroA4> ashu18, :(
[01:46] <uptownben> and I dont see any way to force it
[01:47] <ZeroA4> uptownben, strange... try direct. write smb://machine-name or ip
[01:47] <jonnymac> It is a pretty dmb question but how do I run deborphan?
[01:47] <ashu18> ZeroA4: you know any other multimedia players?
[01:47] <ZeroA4> at the nautilus
[01:47] <ZeroA4> ashu18, mplayer
[01:47] <jonnymac> !deborphan
[01:47] <ubotu> deborphan is a program used to clean up packages that are no longer needed (install from Synaptic/Adept).
[01:47] <ashu18> ZeroA4: there's something called "Totem-Xine" thing in add/ remove
[01:47] <ZeroA4> ashu18, but may be you need w32codecs
[01:47] <ashu18> ZeroA4: how do i get them?
[01:47] <Tasmaniac> uptownben you want it to ask for a password or you cant see the shares at all?
[01:48] <[DCH] Bret> Can you get any good html editors on linux?
[01:48] <ZeroA4> ashu18, you need mediubuntu repositories
[01:48] <ashu18> ZeroA4: i am really a dork in these matters.... :(
[01:48] <sirbu> bl9, how to clean dns cache on local machine?)
[01:48] <ashu18> ZeroA4: could u just tell how 2 do it?
[01:48] <pac1> #sed
[01:48] <ZeroA4> [DCH] Bret, there is quanta, nvu, komposer, screem
[01:48] <ompaul> [DCH] Bret, you can try, "bluefish" on top of that last, or emacs also
[01:48] <ZeroA4> ashu18, wait
[01:49] <ashu18> ZeroA4: ok
[01:49] <[DCH] Bret> Is 7gb enough to run ubuntu on?
[01:49] <kRush> yep
[01:49] <frogz> [DCH] Bret: yes if you're careful
[01:49] <ZeroA4> [DCH] Bret, yes
[01:49] <ompaul> [DCH] Bret, better to give it more you could do it in that - but its a bit tight
[01:49] <[DCH] Bret> I'm only testing it at that stage
[01:49] <dns_56> you can have a usable system with about 4.5gb
[01:49] <lesshaste> I am trying to mount an external usb hard drive. How do I find out it's device name? All I get in dmesg is [161019.082654]  usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and
[01:49] <lesshaste> address 3
[01:49] <lesshaste> [161019.250157]  usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[01:50] <Rikimaru> oooppppa
[01:50] <ZeroA4> [DCH] Bret, depends of what you will install.  a base install of ubuntu uses 2GB
[01:50] <[DCH] Bret> I'd only be using it to test out the OS. Never used Linux apart from console based servers
[01:50] <ZeroA4> lesshaste, fdisk -l
[01:50] <ZeroA4> lesshaste, it lists devices...
[01:51] <lesshaste> ZeroA4: ok.. including new usb ones then?
[01:51] <[DCH] Bret> ill have windows on one HDD and linux on the other 7gb old hdd. If i like it enough, i will convert the main 160gb to ubuntu and use the 7gb as a backup or something
[01:51] <frogz> [DCH] Bret: not really a fair test in that footprint
[01:51] <jez999> Is there a way to mount removable drives (eg. USB dongle) in a synchronous non-buffered mode?
[01:51] <ZeroA4> lesshaste, yes
[01:51] <lesshaste> ZeroA4: trying it thanks
[01:52] <frogz> jez999: if you right click on the device from 'my computer' you can add the 'sync' mount option
[01:52] <ZeroA4> ashu18, look for Medibuntu in this page http://members.shaw.ca/Limulus/feisty.html
[01:52] <lesshaste> I am in telinit 1.. how do I start sshd?
[01:52] <uptownben> I can only ge top the point where I see the workgroups I can not see the work group contents

[01:53] <Alloosh> hi, how do I install internet explorer 6 on my ubuntu machine?
[01:53] <lesshaste> frogz: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start ?

[01:54] <ZeroA4> ashu18, i dont know
[01:54] <Mr_Pennywise> im having some trouble with my wireless network, can someone help me?
[01:55] <ashu18> ZeroA4: ok
[01:55] <lesshaste> ZeroA4: I get http://pastebin.com/m3e6106a3 .. which is the external usb drive?
[01:55] <Mr_Pennywise> im having some trouble with my wireless network, can someone help me?
[01:55] <uptownben> So what would make ubuntu NOT ask for a password when acess my local SMB workgroups?
[01:56] <dns_56> Alloosh: you need a windows api emulator such as wine, there are tools like ie4linux http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page
[01:56] <jonnymac> any tips on how to resize a dvd file in k3b?
[01:56] <Tasmaniac> uptownben it depends on you samba conf file (/etc/samba/smb.conf)
[01:56] <lesshaste> ZeroA4: it doesn't seem to be listed right?
[01:56] <ZeroA4> lesshaste, it list 2 devices of 200 GB each. the 1st has 3 partitions the 2nd has only one... strange it be os type linux but should be the 2nd
[01:57] <Trubadurix> hiho
[01:57] <Trubadurix> any here?
[01:57] <jez999> frogz: but the device actually has to already be inserted for me to do that.  i want it to have it mounted with the sync option _by default_
[01:57] <lesshaste> ZeroA4: right.. those are the internal drives
[01:57] <ishasha> hello~
[01:57] <Mr_Pennywise> im having some trouble with my wireless network, can someone help me?
[01:57] <benzs_s> i'm trying to input my wifi key using 'sudo iwconfig rausb0 key blah' (where 'blah' is the key), but it throws up an error: "error for wireless request "set encode" (8B2A)". Any ideas?
[01:57] <Mr_Pennywise> im having some trouble with my wireless network, can someone help me?
[01:57] <ZeroA4> lesshaste, then it has not listed... strange
[01:57] <sirbu> how to clean dns cache on local machine?
[01:58] <frogz> jez999: gnome will take care of it, once it knows aobut it
[01:58] <netcrash__> Hello, how can I connect my bluetooth phone to my laptop ? any tips ?
[01:58] <lesshaste> ZeroA4: can I force a search somehow?
[01:58] <jpastore> Hi I was wondering if someone might be able to help me
[01:58] <jez999> frogz: and this behaviour isn't the default in Ubuntu, why?
[01:58] <ZeroA4> Mr_Pennywise, i dont know if i can help. but was is the chipset ? was it reconized ? the wi-fi network has wep/wpa ?
[01:58] <Trubadurix>   /etc/network/interfaces   add you key there maby
[01:58] <jpastore> I enabled compiz and now I don't have title bars and my gnome-terminal is all white on white
[01:59] <jpastore> I restored an old xorg.conf to get back to semi functional
[01:59] <ZeroA4> lesshaste, no... it has to be detected automatic... try another usb port, check cables/power etc
[01:59] <jrib> !compiz > jpastore (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:59] <jrib> jpastore: the wiki page has some troubleshooting steps for that issue, take a look
[01:59] <Mr_Pennywise> ZeroA4, Its Ethernet, it usually has wpa encryption but i took it away now to make it easier
[02:00] <lesshaste> ZeroA4: is there  SCSI Disk, SCSI Generic and USB Storage support in the ubuntu kernel?
[02:00] <ZeroA4> lesshaste, yes
[02:00] <ZeroA4> lesshaste, on default
[02:01] <ZeroA4> lesshaste, i use it with a usb adaptor for ide disk
[02:01] <sirbu>    ..
[02:01] <jrib> jpastore: well, the compizfusion page at the bottom does anyway, but ask in #ubuntu-effects if that doesn't work

[02:01] <lesshaste> ZeroA4: looks like I am in trouble...
[02:02] <ZeroA4> Mr_Pennywise, can you post the results from ifconfig -a on pastebin ?
[02:02] <|Mathias|> Hi!
[02:02] <Trubadurix> ubotu = bot?
[02:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bot? - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:02] <jez999> and Ubuntu still whinges about 'unsafe device removal' when i unplug the USB dongle without umounting it
[02:02] <benzs_s> i'm trying to input my wifi key using 'sudo iwconfig rausb0 key blah' (where 'blah' is the key), but it throws up an error: "error for wireless request "set encode" (8B2A)". Any ideas?
[02:02] <ZeroA4> lesshaste, it is strange... it is plug and play out of the box
[02:02] <meuhlavache1> lol he is a bot
[02:02] <Trubadurix> helo how do i start my samba?
[02:02] <jez999> this is ridiculous, if a removable drive is mounted with sync, it IS safe just to remove
[02:02] <lesshaste> anyone know how to copy directly between two ubuntu boxes using an ethernet cable?
[02:03] <|Mathias|> ./etc/init.d/smb start    i think ?
[02:03] <|Mathias|> is there an iptables "guru" here ? ^^
[02:03] <jrib> jez999: what if it's copying a file...
[02:03] <Trubadurix> no such file or directory
[02:03] <jez999> you're unlikely to be stupid enough to remove it then
[02:03] <Trubadurix> smbc?
