[12:44] <aceninja> liquid: root@aceninja-desktop:/home/aceninja# mount /dev/mapper/Data /media/drive
[12:44] <aceninja> mount: special device /dev/mapper/Data does not exist
[12:44] <Ix0s> Is there anyway possible at all, to get latest releases for software in ubuntu, other than waiting six months or waiting for bugs to be found in them?
[12:45] <liquid> aceninja : sorry dude, Im out of ideas without being there to investigate more
[12:45] <stittel> lx0s: Yes. But it's not exactly a no-brainer.
[12:45] <stittel> lx0s: A Linux system is quite complicated when it comes to package dependencies, you have to be careful.
[12:45] <liquid> aceninja : check if you can fdisk the devices
[12:45] <aceninja> liquid: thanks for ur help
[12:45] <fredl> huh?
[12:46] <fredl> stittel - apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:46] <stittel> lx0s: Which software do you want?
[12:46] <mpt> nm, the answer to that question is actually in the help, unbelievably enough
[12:46] <indrek> Where can i see the patchlist of ubuntu's latest kernel 2.6.20-15-generic?
[12:46] <[Flux] > change your repos to the new gutsy ones
[12:46] <[Flux] > and upgrade lol
[12:46] <stittel> fredl: This is a) not recommended on Ubuntu (use update-manager) and b) this will only bring you to the next release.
[12:46] <[Flux] > be prepared for headaches lol
[12:46] <Ix0s> stittel, well tbh the latest stable releases of any software I have installed.
[12:46] <stittel> fredl: If you are running Feisty dist-upgrade will not give you new versions till October.
[12:46] <stittel> lx0s: Why is that?
[12:46] <The_Giver> I get this error when I try to install "backlight" undefined reference to `gzopen'
[12:47] <The_Giver> and other errors related to gz
[12:47] <stittel> lx0s: If you don't need a specific feature quite urgently, version-number fetchisim will kill you.
[12:47] <fredl> update-manager runs apt-get doesn't it?
[12:47] <[Flux] > The_Giver, apt-get install backlight -f
[12:47] <[Flux] > possibly
[12:47] <stittel> lx0s: If you really want to have the largest and greatest version of any software, Ubuntu is not the right distribution for you, believe me.
[12:47] <stittel> fredl: No, update-manager does more than that.
[12:47] <[Flux] > if you want the newest stuff, gentoo is your distro
[12:47] <[Flux] > or linux from scratch, or damn small linux
[12:48] <The_Giver> what if i already have the "backlright I want.. but just need to do the "make install
[12:48] <stittel> <[Flux] > Yes, Gentoo is nice, but also not exactly fit for novices.
[12:48] <kirkunit> Ixos: or you could compile stuff yourself
[12:48] <[Flux] > that is very true
[12:48] <aceninja> liquid: If i go into "computer on Ubuntu filebrowser" and mount one of the two individual SATA raid disks listed the mount point is /media/Raid Storage
[12:48] <stittel> <[Flux] > espeicall when running ~arch.
[12:48] <[Flux] > gentoo was my first attempt at linux
[12:48] <[Flux] > i cried
[12:48] <jpjacobs> [Flux] , not lfs, it takes ages before you have everything recompiled... (by hand that is)
[12:48] <Ix0s> stittel, Well i got gentoo now, kinda good for up to date packages, but its just a bit annoying with my sound it hates me!
[12:48] <[Flux] > jpjacobs, thats for sure, i tried it on my old p3
[12:48] <[Flux] > to get some experience, and it was nuts
[12:49] <stittel> lx0s: My very warmest advice is: Stick with the software from the official Ubuntu repositories until you really have a very good reason to do otherwise.
[12:49] <stittel> lx0s: If your sound works on Ubuntu, you can also make it run on Gentoo.
[12:49] <jpjacobs> gentoo's nice, if you don't mind putting time and effort in your system
[12:49] <Ix0s> Gentoo is a nice system, but breaks very easy with like latest updates especially if you unmask -_-
[12:49] <[Flux] > stittel is right, unless you are comfortable with compiling, and hunting down dependencies, ubuntu is great
[12:49] <Taras> ubotu isnt the help i need...
[12:49] <Ix0s> Thats the lesson I learnt pretty fast XD
[12:50] <MenZa> Is it possible to force nautilus to load the thumbnails for video files in a directory (I just installed video codecs)?
[12:50] <DjViper> stittel: Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libatk1.0-0
[12:50] <stittel> lx0s: If you want to use never software sits on the leaf of the dependency graph (please don't update libs), then the best is usually to compile the gutsy source packages.
[12:50] <shockwave1> hello
[12:51] <The_Giver> anyone?
[12:51] <The_Giver> backlight is not a standard package
[12:51] <stittel> lx0s: It's painless, it shouldn't break things and it's quite secure (downloading third-party package is not secure, though, unless you trust the author).
[12:51] <shockwave1> can i get some help with a removable drive? i just upgraded to fiesty and now my laptop no longer sees my maxtor one touch usb drive
[12:51] <stittel> lx0s: And keep a list of those packages and remove them before the next update.
[12:52] <stittel> lx0s: "update" meaning "update to the next Ubuntu release" here.
[12:52] <stittel> DjViper: Install libatk then.
[12:52] <DjViper> stittel: hmm ok
[12:52] <stittel> DjViper: "sudo aptitude install libatk".
[12:53] <lelik> dear all. the LCD panel's bios incorrectly reports maximum resolution 1024x768 and X server refuses to use resolution higher than this. How can I override bios resolution ? Or how to tell to X server to skip reading resolution from lcd panel? what should i add in xorg.conf?
[12:54] <shockwave1> anyone?
[12:54] <The_Giver> i keep on getting gzopen , gzclose errors.. any idea?
[12:57] <stittel> lekik: First of all, backup your xorg.conf.
[12:57] <stittel> lelik not lekik. :)
[12:57] <lelik> already backed up
[12:57] <stittel> lelik: Then look for: Section "Screen"
[12:58] <lelik> ok.. what next?
[12:58] <levander> Anyone in here using pdb (aka gud) under emacs to debug Python on Feisty?
[12:58] <alistair_blunt> BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-3ubuntu3) Built-in shell (ash)
[12:58] <stittel> lelik: Probably you will find there only one screen with the Identifier "Default Screen" right?
[12:58] <alistair_blunt> Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
[12:58] <alistair_blunt> (initramfs)
[12:59] <Taras> i have that error

[12:59] <lelik> EndSection
[12:59] <levander> !paste > lelik
[12:59] <Taras> yes
[12:59] <stittel> lelik: or are there others?
[12:59] <Taras> after that, it doesnt do anything
[01:00] <stittel> lelik: Which screen is specified as "Default Screen" in the section "serverlayout"?
[01:00] <lelik> yes.. on my laptop there is video out, but i don't want to use it
[01:00] <stittel> lelik: "ServerLayout" sorry.
[01:00] <axz> guys is there a wine for x64?
[01:01] <stittel> axy: Not from Ubuntu. But the Wine project offers deb files. Wait a sec.
[01:01] <axz> need it for some win apps
[01:01] <moonwatcher> hi
[01:01] <stittel> axy: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/pool/main/w/wine/
[01:01] <void^> alistair_blunt: make sure it's trying to use the correct root device (the "root=" option on the kernel commandline). and boot without "quiet splash" to see more useful debugging output. (scroll up with shift+pgup/pgdown)
[01:01] <axz> thx
[01:02] <moonwatcher> i was told there was a recent breakthrough in ntfs read/write capability?
[01:02] <axz> nice
[01:02] <moonwatcher> can anyone provide a link?
[01:02] <Pensacola> www.ntfs-3g.org
[01:02] <moonwatcher> thx :)
[01:02] <stittel> axy: Choose the amd64 deb for your Ubuntu version, they have 6.10 packages as well as 7.10 pacakges, make sure to use the right one.
[01:02] <stittel> axy: You could also add the Wine repoistory to your sources.list, in case you want to get updates.
[01:02] <axz> running Ubuntu 7.04 atm
[01:02] <Taras> and before i took a picture of the help commands http://lampman.box43.net/ScreenShots/DSC02364.JPG
[01:03] <stittel> axz: http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb (ignore the part about "no 64bit packages" ... it's outdated!)
[01:03] <axz> okee
[01:03] <axz> btw installing wine_0.9.36~winehq0~ubuntu~7.04-2_amd64.deb
[01:03] <alistair_blunt> void^: can u help me?
[01:03] <axz> good?
[01:04] <fredl> does anybody know why totem doesn't seem to play directly from firefox and how I can debug what's going on?
[01:04] <stittel> axy: Yes, I also use this package.
[01:04] <axz> oke Mate
[01:04] <axz> thx alot
[01:04] <Taras_> gah, modem dies
[01:05] <stittel> lelik: Still there?
[01:05] <lelik> yes..
[01:05] <lelik> Screen      0  "aticonfig-Screen[0] " 0 0
[01:05] <stittel> lelik: What's your Default screen?
[01:05] <stittel> Ok.
[01:06] <Pooky> I should run the ati config tool again, maybe that would fix my issues. I've pretty much just thrown the towel in on beryl. :/
[01:06] <stittel> lelik: You can see mode lines for each SubSection "Display" in the "Screen" section.
[01:06] <sercik> how can i execute a command on startup?
[01:06] <sercik> [1:06pm]  <sercik> i have inserted two lines in rc.local but seems that is not executed on startup
[01:07] <stittel> lelik: above the mode lines there is a Depth and you will also find a default depth specifed later on.
[01:07] <Gasten> Is there a way to ban a whole ip from my desktop? There is this company that advertise at a site that I hang out on, and they really buggs me with this fullscreen popups and I just want them to go away. is there anything I can do?
[01:07] <Gasten> just adblocking wont work, since they opens new windows..
[01:07] <stittel> lelik: The mode lines specify an ordered list of allowed resolutions for your display, with the foremost resolution being the preferred one.
[01:08] <stojance> How do I install AppArmor on Ubuntu? I downloaded the packages
[01:08] <hume> anyone can help with samba? i have homes as a share, but win machines cannot log in, and when i try to mount from localhost by mount -t smbfs //ipnr/share /mnt, i get "no such share" as message
[01:08] <nonlinear> can u guys recommend linux irc clients and scripts for casual dcc and chat?
[01:08] <O2O> hi
[01:08] <stojance> nonlinear: I use XChat GNOME
[01:08] <lelik>  default depth is 24. but th problem is: when i specify resolution more then 1024x768 xserver does not want to accept it, because panel incorrectly reports max resolution.
[01:08] <MenZa> nonlinear: irssi :)
[01:08] <jpjacobs> nonlinear, Xchat or irssi
[01:08] <stittel> lelik: Modes "1680x1050" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" for exampe means, that 1680x1050 should be used by default when starting up the X server and that also 1024x768, 800x600 and 640x480 are allowed.
[01:08] <MenZa> ^5, jpjacobs
[01:08] <sercik> if you want share from linux to windws you are wrong
[01:08] <O2O> anyone knows how to install intel's GMA900 video drivers??
[01:08] <O2O> anyone knows how to install intel's GMA900 video drivers???
[01:08] <MenZa> !repeat
[01:08] <Myrtti> Gasten: adding a magic line to your hosts would be one solution
[01:08] <ubotu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[01:08] <sercik> smbmount is used to mount under linux a windows shared resource
[01:09] <stittel> lelik: Which error message do you get from the logfile?
[01:09] <stojance> !apparmor
[01:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about apparmor - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:09] <stittel> lelik: The X server's log file I mean.
[01:09] <Taras_> brb
[01:09] <Gasten> nonlinear: anything does it. if you want something similar with mirc, and mirc scripting: go for xchat and learn either python or perl (do python).
[01:09] <lelik> ok.. wait.. i'll find it.
[01:09] <stojance> Anyone... AppArmor?
[01:09] <nonlinear> xchat..irssi k thanks
[01:10] <Gasten> Myrtti: just like in windows?? where can I find this file?
[01:10] <nonlinear> are those clients?
[01:10] <stojance> nonlinear: you can try smuxi :) I love Mono!
[01:10] <Gasten> nonlinear: yes.
[01:10] <stittel> stojance: I don't think you can integrate AppArmor into Ubuntu without really going through the motions.
[01:10] <lelik>  Panel ID string: 1024x768
[01:10] <nonlinear> do they have nice stuff for dcc, etc
[01:10] <sercik> hume pvt me
[01:10] <Myrtti> Gasten: /etc/hosts I think
[01:10] <Gasten> nonlinear: fyi, irssi is console based.
[01:10] <lelik> Panel Size from BIOS: 1024x768
[01:10] <nonlinear> or do i need a seperate sc`tip
[01:10] <lelik> (WW) RADEON(0): Mode 1280x1024 is out of range.
[01:10] <nonlinear> what is console based?
[01:10] <Gasten> Myrtti: woll check it. thanks.
[01:10] <lelik> (WW) RADEON(0): Valid modes must be between 320x200-1024x768
[01:10] <Gasten> nonlinear: tect only. no graphics.
[01:10] <stittel> lelik: Hm... that's bad.
[01:11] <stojance> stittel: I installed every package that said apparmor in the repos, so should that be ok?
[01:11] <Myrtti> irssi <3
[01:11] <jpjacobs> nonlinear, it uses a terminal, no graphcial, clickable things
[01:11] <lelik> i know :-)
[01:11] <Gasten> I want to dive into irssi... some day.
[01:11] <nonlinear> oh, i don't think i like console based so much LOL
[01:11] <[nige] > !ati
[01:11] <|Osiris> I try to install apache + php5 and got this error: (Reading database ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libapr1_1.2.7-8.1_i386.deb (--unpack):

[01:11] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:11] <|Osiris> anyone a clue?
[01:11] <Gasten> not me either.
[01:12] <The_Giver> hi
[01:12] <Myrtti> nonlinear: http://velhottaret.net/~myrtti/wp-content/gallery/screenshots/2006-10-13.png
[01:12] <Gasten> I'll get a more geeky setup on this end before I move on to irssi.
[01:12] <stittel> stojance: How experienced are you with Linux?
[01:13] <Gasten> that'll probably happen this summer.
[01:13] <The_Giver> how would  I go about installing this patch:
 nonlinear: http://velhottaret.net/~myrtti/wp-content/gallery/screenshots/2006-10-13.png
[01:13] <jpjacobs> |Osiris, i'd try manually throwing away that .deb, and reinstalling
[01:13] <Gasten> I'm so going for xfce.
[01:13] <The_Giver> i have no idea how to do that
[01:13] <The_Giver> =/
[01:13] <lelik> stittel: any other ideas?
[01:13] <Myrtti> errrmmmmm
[01:13] <Myrtti> The_Giver: say what?
[01:13] <The_Giver> wrong link
[01:13] <The_Giver> http://www.jasonparekh.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/10/applesmc-change_minimum_fan_speed.patch
[01:13] <The_Giver> lol
[01:13] <stittel> lelik: Are you usting the binary ATI driver or the open source one?
[01:13] <|Osiris> jpjacobs, did it but have same error
[01:14] <lelik> both. but now I use "radeon"
[01:14] <jpjacobs> |Osiris, hmmm weird, did you update recently?
[01:14] <void^> keep in mind you have to _uninstall_ the binary drivers if you want accelerated opengl with opensource drivers
[01:15] <|Osiris> jpjacobs, yes
[01:15] <|Osiris> but I will do it again
[01:15] <|Osiris> since there are 5 new packages
[01:16] <lelik> stittel: is there any option to skip bios resolution check?
[01:16] <|Osiris> jpjacobs, I cant even upgrade
[01:16] <shockwave1> are there any fixes for the external usb drive mounting problem in fiesty.
[01:16] <|Osiris> Reading database ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/tzdata_2007e-0ubuntu0.7.04_all.deb (--unpack)

[01:17] <alistair_blunt> /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off (initramfs)___suggestions?
[01:18] <jd823592> How can I get access to HDD while running Kubuntu from LIVE CD?
[01:18] <stittel> lelik: What about the option ModeValidation?
[01:18] <jtt> jd823592,  mount /dev/hdaN   /dev/hdbN
[01:19] <DocTrax> does ubuntu include xchat?
[01:19] <jd823592> or access from installed Kubuntu to NTFS fromated disk with WIN
[01:19] <moonwatcher> Pensacola: did i get it right? all i need to do is install it with apt-get and run ntfs-config?
[01:19] <Gasten> DocTrax: No. sudo aptitude install xchat installs it
[01:19] <jd823592> i tried but it gave me an err
[01:19] <Taras_> back
[01:19] <DocTrax> and avm-fritz kernel module?
[01:19] <stittel> lelik: I don't know if this option is specific to the NVIDIA binary driver, but at least for NVIDIA there is this option.
[01:20] <|Osiris> no one here had a problem with dpkg?
[01:20] <lelik> stittel: i've tried to use it with frglx driver, but so the message, that this optios is not used.
[01:20] <jd823592> jtt: mount 1 2                   ... what is (1) and what is (2)?
[01:20] <stittel> lelik: What did you set as Parameter to this option?
[01:20] <DocTrax> is aptitude a clone of apt-get?
[01:21] <Gasten> DocTrax: No, it's a better version.
[01:21] <jtt> jd823592,  execute   fdisk -l   lists all the slices of you disk
[01:21] <DocTrax> ok
[01:21] <DocTrax> need to try it
[01:21] <jpjacobs> DocTrax, kinda, but it also keeps track of packages installed only to satisfy dependencies; when they are no longer needed, those get removed too
[01:21] <jtt> jd823592,  then  mount  /dev/hda or b  1,2,3 etc    ex:  mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
[01:22] <The_Giver> how do i implement this http://www.jasonparekh.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/10/applesmc-change_minimum_fan_speed.patch
[01:22] <Gasten> DocTrax: works the same way, but keeps track of unused packages, so you wont have lots of unused data on your disc.
[01:22] <stittel> lelik: comment out the option I just menetioned an try:
[01:22] <stittel> Option "UseEdidFreqs" "false"
[01:22] <stittel> Option "UseEdidDpi" "FALSE"
[01:22] <stittel> Option "UseEdid" "FALSE"
[01:22] <nonlinear> OK, what do you guys think about partitoins, top or bottom scheme: http://www.ucalgary.ca/~stmichal/diskpart.jpg
[01:22] <moonwatcher> what would be the recomended driver to read ext3 from windows?
[01:22] <DocTrax> sounds good
[01:22] <The_Giver> i download it or something?
[01:22] <stittel> lelik: Again I don't know if this is NVIDIA specific.
[01:22] <nonlinear> i hope that schematic makes sense
[01:22] <detto> I accidently uninstalled an important xorg package, xserver-xorg-video-i810 and x won't start. I'm in the terminal now, with a live cd in the cdrom drive. How can I download and install this package from the live cd?
[01:23] <lelik> stittel: i used NoDFPNativeResolutionCheck option. Ok. thanks! i'll try it.
[01:24] <MenZa> Is it possible to ./ run an application in a specific directory?
[01:24] <kirkunit> detto: sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-i810
[01:24] <socceroos> nonlinear, I would separate my linux an windows partitions to be in separate blocks, not mixed together.....if I've got your diagram right....
[01:24] <jd823592> to me it seems now that as HDA the LIVE CD is interpreted. and cant find anyother DISK ............ fdisk -l doesnt output nuttin'
[01:24] <Pooky> stittel, I bet your picture is under the word patience in the dictionary :)
[01:24] <Gasten> MenZa: Yes.
[01:24] <MenZa> Gasten: Elaborate :)
[01:25] <MenZa> ./stuff/stuff/Stuff has no real effect.
[01:25] <Gasten> MenZa: Doesn't need more, do I?
[01:25] <Gasten> :)
[01:25] <stittel> Pooky: Actually I am far less patient that you might think. :) It's just that technical issue often need patience, to which I got used by now.
[01:25] <|Osiris> can someone help met with my apt error?
[01:25] <nonlinear> socceroos: on top i've got 3 primary partitions (or are they called extended.. ), each with 2 logical parts.  on bottom, i've got the active partition, and one extended with 5 logical
[01:25] <Pensacola> moonwatcher that's about it
[01:25] <Pensacola> I always to it manually, but ntfs-config should work
[01:25] <nonlinear> so socceroos, i think you are suggesting the top scheme
[01:26] <ben_underscore> |Osiris: what is the error?
[01:26] <sercik> someone could help me to create a script that execute on startup?
[01:26] <a8514> Hi
[01:26] <mart_> how do I get the back/forward buttons on my mouse to work?
[01:26] <|Osiris> ben_underscore, none of my packages will install

[01:26] <nonlinear> how will my performance vary between those two schemes... is there a differene if you have more or less primary partitions?

[01:27] <ircleuser> Help! I just installed Ubuntu for the first time, and I'm worried I installed it over my Windows XP partition when I allowed it to automatically partition the disk. How can I check to see if the Windows partition is still there? Is there anything I can do to recover the files, or is all hope lost?
[01:27] <Pooky> stittel, it's always been my opinion that everyone in tech, should do a year of tech support. You get a new found respect for, users.

[01:27] <Pensacola> I have no idea how to read ext3 on windows, I don't use windows anymore :)
[01:27] <LjL> !ext3
[01:27] <ubotu> ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org
[01:27] <nonlinear> ircleuser: did you image your xp partition?
[01:27] <stittel> Pooky: Not everyone in tech will do stuff that really gets exposed to users.
[01:27] <mart_> MenZa: thank you
[01:27] <ben_underscore> Pensacola:  like what ubotu says
[01:28] <sercik> to read ext3 on windows you can use explore2fs-1.07.zip
[01:28] <ircleuser> nonlinear: I don't believe so.
[01:28] <Pensacola> moonwatcher needs this :)
[01:28] <nonlinear> irc: ouch heh
[01:28] <sercik> it works very good
[01:28] <|Osiris> ben_underscore, send you a PM
[01:28] <LjL> sercik: it's not a filesystem driver though, just a stand-alone application. which might be a good thing... depends what you want.

[01:28] <sercik> Hi ljl i know you
[01:28] <nonlinear> can't u just boot that machine and check?  if you overwrote your xp part, you lost whatever you overwrote (prolly most of it).  you can likely recover what u didn't overwrite

[01:32] <nonlinear> irc: i'm msg u
[01:32] <LjL> detto: that only means it's referenced somewhere -- i.e., doesn't mean anything. the "live" CD (i.e. the Desktop CD) has a very, very limited repository on it. i bet it doesn't contain that package.
[01:32] <sercik> but first you need to know if your windows partition exists

[01:33] <lelik> stittel: i spent half a day googling and looking for the exact problem. i'll take a look at threads, which you mentioned
[01:33] <nonlinear> it said i was offtopic, when i was trying to get advice on partitioning

[01:33] <sercik> try to install gparted on linux is a simply program to partition hard disk with graphical interface
[01:33] <stittel> lelik: Have you tried switiching drivers, if this is an option to you?
[01:33] <sercik> so you can see how your hd is parted
[01:33] <nonlinear> but i think menza instigated it
[01:34] <nonlinear> lol
[01:34] <stittel> lelik: You will probably have the choice between the flglx driver from ATI and an open source one.
[01:34] <void^> nonlinear: don't use multiple extended partitions, that's.. irregular.
[01:34] <LjL> nonlinear: yeah, that is the case. bots don't take such initiatives by themselves :)
[01:34] <nonlinear> ?
[01:34] <nonlinear> but i can only have 4 partitions then
[01:34] <nonlinear> and i need 6
[01:34] <nonlinear> yea but i wasn't off topic was i?
[01:34] <LjL> nonlinear: no, an "extended" partition means you can put many "logical" partitions inside it
[01:34] <lelik> stittel: i tried to use both drivers, but result is the same. the don't allow to set up higher resolution.
[01:34] <LjL> void^: is having multiple extended partitions non-standard though?

[01:55] <thinkl> My ubuntu 7.04 disk hangs at a screen saying "Loading, please wait" -- is there a way I can get more output about what is going on underneath?
[01:56] <SeriousSven> I have a usb harddisk and after formatting it to Ext3 with gparted I cannot create folders, do I set permissions with chmod or does it work differently with harddisks?

[01:56] <Dquestions2> HELLO can anyone help???? how do i reset my bootloader?
[01:56] <stittel> Zooble: The Ubuntu partitioner will not have deleted your Windows partition by its own. If you however told him to delete your Windows partition, you have a problem indeed.
[01:57] <Dquestions2> why cant i use the live cd??
[01:57] <shijirou> SeriousSven: have you tried accessing your hard disk as root?
[01:57] <stittel> Dquestion2: What do you mean by "reset"? Is your menu.lst screwed or your MBR overwritten?

[02:00] <thinkl> Neil-: I'd try moving that to a temporary location so that emacs starts afresh. i.e. mv ~/.emacs.d ~/.emacs.d.possiblybroken
[02:00] <Neil-> hmmm thinkl, made no difference
[02:00] <thinkl> Neil-: Well, now you can move it back :) At least you know it wasn't something you configured...
[02:01] <Neil-> yeah :)
[02:01] <stittel> Zooble: If it is really gone and these files are really, really important, you could try commercial recovery tools or send it your hard disk to a company specializing in gaining your data back.
[02:01] <johnsmith> I'm having problem with my DVB under Feisty, it has patches of random crap through the picture
[02:01] <stittel> Zooble: Physically your data will probably still be there in some form.
[02:01] <johnsmith> can anyone help?

[02:03] <stittel> rsk: grub-install won't help him if his configuration is screwed, it will only help him if he has overwriten the MBR or boot sector of the Linux parition.
[02:03] <isidoro> that's the first
[02:03] <isidoro> GLib-GObject-WARNING **: can't peek value table for type `<invalid>' which is not currently referenced Segmentation fault (core dumped)

[02:12] <Dquestions2> Hi there
[02:12] <Dquestions2> anyone here good with grub
[02:12] <Dquestions2> i'm trying to reinstall grub to no vail
[02:12] <stittel> SeySayux: What is wrong with your grub-configuration? Did you overwrite the MBR of your first hard drive, did you overwrite the boot sector of your Linux parititon or is there something wrong with your GRUB configuration?
[02:12] <Dquestions2> i'm under the live cd
[02:12] <DeTlEfF> anyone here who can help me please
[02:12] <stittel> DeTlEfF: State your problems.
[02:12] <Dquestions2> i deleted my grub trying to install linux
[02:12] <SeySayux> no i just cant boot ubuntu
[02:13] <jpjacobs> !helpme|DeTleff
[02:13] <ubotu> DeTleff: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:13] <Dquestions2> grub-install doesnt work
[02:13] <Janco> Does it exist an mobile manager for sony Ericsson ?
[02:13] <stittel> SeySayux: You never could? Not even right after installation?
[02:13] <DeTlEfF> i cant login as root there is always the message that the system administrator cant login with this loginbox
[02:13] <SeySayux> no
[02:13] <stittel> SeySayux: What's you setup?
[02:13] <jpjacobs> DeTlEfF, don't login as root, it's bad habbit
[02:13] <SeySayux> what do you mean?
[02:13] <InitMass> how do i get the color temperature of my screen if not the developer can give it to me? and i can't find it anywhere? i'm using a dell inspiron 8600 laptop with a 1680 x 1050 (WSXGA+) monitor.
[02:13] <KingPython> how can i play amr format on the edge-eft?
[02:14] <stittel> DeTlEfF: Root has no password in an Ubuntu default install, so you can't login as root.
[02:14] <jpjacobs> true too...
[02:14] <SeySayux> stittel: what do you mean?
[02:14] <DeTlEfF> my root has got passwd i set it with sudo passwd
[02:14] <stittel> SeySayux: Your hard disk setup.
[02:15] <SeySayux> ah you mean my partitions?
[02:15] <wedontneed> iam using ubuntu 7.04 i cant install my nvidia card how can i install it?
[02:15] <SeySayux> ubuntu is in /dev/hda4
[02:15] <stittel> jpjacobs: If logging in as root is a bad habbit is quite questionable. I find using the user password to gain root rights a very bad habbit.
[02:15] <SlimeyPete> wedontneed: the usual method is to use the restricted hardware manager from the system menu
[02:15] <KingPython> which codec can play amr on edge-eft?
[02:15] <stittel> jpjacobs: Of course you can use sudo with a root password, but sudo also has not been without security problems in the past.
[02:15] <wedontneed> i enter there but nothing here
[02:16] <|Osiris> does anyone know where the cgi-bin folder is lcoated?
[02:16] <xipietotec> okay, I kinda screwed something up with using nautilus as root... I need to change the contents of /usr/share/gdm/theme's to have root as owner with read write and execute permissions for all files, and then have me accessfiles, what's the chmod command for this? (I found the chmod man page a little confusing
[02:16] <stittel> KingPython: RealPlayer can, but I don't think it part of Edgy. You will have to download it from the Real website.
[02:16] <SlimeyPete> wedontneed: you can manually install the package by enabling Universe and Multiverse in Synaptic and then telling it to install the nvidia driver package.
[02:16] <bonglord> xipietotec> you can use the GUI to set permissions
[02:16] <KingPython> ok i have it thanx stitel
[02:16] <wedontneed> SlimeyPete: i dont know how can i do them iam newbie
[02:16] <xipietotec> bonglord, I'm aware....but there's several hundered files involved that have to be changed
[02:16] <fawad> hey guys
[02:16] <isidoro> what's this means??   Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_list_store_get_value: assertion `VALID_ITER (iter, list_store)' failed
[02:17] <stittel> SeySayux: What's on the other partitions?
[02:17] <SeySayux> windows, openSuS
[02:17] <SeySayux> my own operating system
[02:17] <DeTlEfF>  /msg NickServ REGISTER ib1991gb
[02:17] <fawad> i have a question whats the abriviation of SUSE
[02:17] <bonglord> xipietotec> there's a button on the GUI labelled "apply permissions to enclosed files"
[02:17] <xipietotec> so it's better to use chmod -R ...something something
[02:17] <stittel> SeySayux: What's your primary boot manager? If grub/lilo, is it that one installed by SuSE or Ubuntu?
[02:17] <SlimeyPete> wedontneed: load Synaptic, visit the Repositories screen and tick Universe and Multiverse. Then hit "reload". Then search for nvidia and install nvidia-glx. After that you have to run a script - hold on, I'll find the name of it.
[02:17] <isidoro> fawad: M$
[02:17] <xipietotec> bonglord, except it doesn't work correctly
[02:17] <SeySayux> by SuSE
[02:18] <SeySayux> grub
[02:18] <bonglord> xipietotec> ... CHMOD always gets me too
[02:18] <void^> fawad: software und system entwicklungsgesellschaft ;)
[02:18] <roryy> xipietotec: use chown to change ownership; something like 'chown -R root.root /the/dir/of/interest/'
[02:18] <stittel> SeySayux: Have you added information for the Ubuntuy partition to the configuration file of SUSEs GRUB?
[02:18] <SeySayux> yes i did
[02:18] <SlimeyPete> wedontneed: ah yes, to run the script you enter a terminal and type "sudo nvidia-xconfig" I think
[02:18] <fawad> thanks void
[02:18] <SeySayux> if i choose the menu options, it just doesn't boot
[02:18] <xipietotec> roryy, allready did that, but now I need to change permissions, essentially root group has no read permissions on hundereds of files
[02:18] <stittel> Which message do you get? And what exactly did you add?
[02:19] <wedontneed> SlimeyPete: ok tyvm buy i have a question where is synaptic
[02:19] <xipietotec> so gdm can't read the files
[02:19] <thinkl> Neil-: Got it!
[02:19] <SeySayux> Stittel?
[02:19] <roryy> xipietotec: xipietotec:     chmod -R u+rwX /the/dir/of/interest/     to give root perms; g+rwX to give group, and o+rX to give others access
[02:19] <thinkl> Neil-: customize-option scroll-bar-mode
[02:19] <stittel> SeySayux: Which message do you get? And what exactly did you add?
[02:19] <thinkl> Neil-: Set it to 'right and you'll have what you want.
[02:20] <dromer> hmm, the latest vlc from the repo's seems to have some major audio-problems on some audio-codecs
[02:20] <roryy> xipietotec: make that g+rX for group permissions; I see that is what I have
[02:20] <SeySayux> i just copied the SuSE entry, but modified it for ubuntu, and after the "loading, please wait", nothing
[02:20] <SlimeyPete> wedontneed: it's in the system menu
[02:20] <SlimeyPete> wedontneed: it's called "Synaptic PAckage Manager". You should learn to use it  - it's the main way of installing software on Ubuntu.
[02:20] <roryy> xipietotec: you might find 'info coreutils chmod' to be more informative than the manpage
[02:20] <stittel> SeySayux: Please paste the entry there and tell us the URL here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[02:21] <wedontneed> SlimeyPete: ok
[02:21] <stittel> SeySayux: "loading, please wait" is drawn by Ubuntu or by grub?
[02:21] <SeySayux> i dunno
[02:22] <kane_> what is the klogd? it's suddenly taking up 99% of cpu...
[02:22] <xipietotec> roryy, okay, so if the owner and group is root, and the dir is /usr/share/gdm/themes/* and I want others to be able to look at the files (But not change them) what should the line look like?
[02:22] <SeySayux> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19433/
[02:22] <hacked_kernel> I'm installing a program that required xlib6g and i couldn't find it, what is this package and where to find it?
[02:22] <mc__> kane_: kernel log daemon i think
[02:22] <roryy> xipietotec: i'd run chmod 3 times, first with u+rwX, then g+rX, then o+rX
[02:23] <eichi> hello, my friend has a problem, he cant change the solution to 800x600
[02:23] <xipietotec> ah, okay
[02:23] <roryy> xipietotec: it might well be possible to combine those into one command
[02:23] <eichi> we edited the xorg.conf but without success
[02:23] <SeySayux> yes?
[02:23] <xipietotec> so the first line should be chmod -R root u+rwX /etc...?
[02:23] <kane_> mc__ so what can I do about it? X has become unusable, the hdd is working like mad...
[02:23] <roryy> xipietotec: no
[02:23] <roryy> xipietotec: chmod -R u+rwX /your/directory/
[02:24] <mc__> kane_: kill it
[02:24] <roryy> xipietotec: do be careful with this ;) you can really screw up your system if you change perms on the wrong files
[02:24] <mc__> kane_: or reboot, if that does help
[02:24] <kane_> mc__ would it be ok?
[02:24] <mc__> kane_: im not sure to be hones
[02:24] <SeySayux> stittel: yes?
[02:24] <stittel> SeySayux: The symlinks you call there do in fact exist on your system and point to the right kernel / initrd image?
[02:24] <SeySayux> yes
[02:25] <mc__> kane_: just killed klogd on my system,seems not to be a problem
[02:25] <hacked_kernel> I'm installing a program that required xlib6g and i couldn't find it, what is this package and where to find it?  any help??
[02:25] <dromer> damnit, I keep getting kernel panics (well that's what someone told me earlier it was) on feisty this week
[02:25] <stittel> SeySayux: Do you get to the Ubuntu splash? It this "loading please wait" a text message or something graphical?
[02:25] <dromer> can someone help me find out the problem and how te fix it?
[02:25] <SeySayux> it even doesn't work with the real kernel file
[02:25] <SeySayux> text message
[02:25] <bonglord> does anyone have the same problem as me, which is windows appearing beneath the focused window
[02:25] <SeySayux> it even seems like my pc shuts down after that (poof sound)
[02:25] <stittel> SeySayux: But no error?
[02:26] <SeySayux> no
[02:26] <SeySayux> it just doesn't load the kernel
[02:26] <stittel> SeySayux: Youl could deactive "quiet" and "splash" in your config file and see if you get a more verbose output of what is wrong.
[02:26] <xipietotec> roryy, I'm aware, I rarely ever touch my root file system...I just happened to do something stupid with nautilus. If you open up nautilus as root, and have a separate non-root nautilus open, and you drag files from there into the root nautilus, it keeps your user permissions
[02:26] <SeySayux> ok i'll try that thanks
[02:26] <stittel> SeySayux: Can you also paste the entry for your SUSE configuration?
[02:26] <SeySayux> ok
[02:27] <xipietotec> lets reboot and hope this works
[02:27] <SeySayux> at the same link?
[02:27] <xipietotec> =)
[02:27] <nbjayme> totem does not resolve relative path for xspf.  too bad.
[02:28] <SeySayux> stittel: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19437/
[02:28] <idefixx> bonglord: probably a beryl kiba-dock issue or something like that.
[02:28] <stittel> SeySayux: Ola.
[02:28] <SeySayux> yes?
[02:29] <stittel> SeySayux: What is on hda5 and what is exactly on hda6?
[02:29] <SeySayux> hda5?
[02:29] <SeySayux> i believe thats my SuSE root
[02:29] <SeySayux> hda6 is my home directory
[02:30] <stittel> SeySayux: Nope. that can't be, hence:  root=/dev/hda6
[02:30] <SeySayux> hmm i dunno
[02:30] <stittel> SeySayux: Does SUSE create a dedicated boot partition?
[02:30] <SeySayux> no, afaik
[02:30] <SeySayux> YaST did it all
[02:30] <stittel> SeySayux: And do you have a dedicated boot partition for Ubuntu server?
[02:30] <SeySayux> nope
[02:30] <kane77> i'm back.. so how do I find out what was wrong with klogd?
[02:31] <SeySayux> at least it is a different partition if you mean that
[02:32] <stittel> SeySayux: Hm.. I am sorry then. Double-check your specification of drives/partitions in menu.list and try to get a more verbose output by removing "quiet" and "splash".
[02:32] <SeySayux> i've my partioning table opened
[02:32] <SeySayux> hda5 is my swap
[02:32] <SeySayux> hda6 is my root
[02:32] <Taras> can anyone help me with something
[02:33] <|ericsson|> !ask > Taras
[02:33] <stittel> SeySazux: Besides that and the possibility that something is inherently wrong with your Ubuntu installation, meaning it is not just a bootloader issue, I can't think of anything more.
[02:33] <Taras> for ubuntu installation
[02:33] <idefixx> !ask | Taras
[02:33] <ubotu> Taras: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:33] <Taras> i keep getting an error http://lampman.box43.net/ScreenShots/DSC02366.JPG
[02:33] <Taras> i ran live CD once before that
[02:33] <stittel> SeySayux: Besides that and the possibility that something is inherently wrong with your Ubuntu installation, meaning it is not just a bootloader issue, I can't think of anything more.
[02:34] <SeySayux> ok i'll reboot and see what happens with the new configuration
[02:34] <superkirbyartist> Anyone into FB?
[02:34] <shijirou> FB?
[02:34] <idefixx> Taras: has usually to do with odd hardware, do you have a second cd rom? try to boot from that one.
[02:34] <padee> hi all
[02:35] <Taras> so if anyones knows how to fx that... it wil be appreciated
[02:35] <Taras> yes i do have a second
[02:35] <Taras> and i tried botting from it
[02:35] <Taras> booting*
[02:35] <Taras> but i havent tried hard enough... and i want to install it after i defragment
[02:36] <Taras> ...which will take a few hours
[02:37] <idefixx> Taras: did it work from the second cd or not?
[02:37] <idefixx> Taras: cd-drive i mean
[02:37] <Taras> acutally... it didnt read the second drive
[02:37] <padee> hi all. i have a small problem... i cannot login anymore.. i got 3 different logins, one is automatic...
[02:38] <Taras> should i try it now, or wait until it defragments?
[02:38] <matt__> what is "daily svn packages"? is that like if i add this line, my program gets updated daily with small small small fixes?
[02:38] <idefixx> Taras: well, in that case you can try the alternate cd... not much else i can tell you here. sry.
[02:39] <hypn0> matt__: I think they are complete packages made daily
[02:39] <superkirbyartist> Anyone uses FreeBASIC?
[02:40] <matt__> hypn0: with fixes? would that be suggested? http://www.exaile.org/?page=downloads exaile has two repositories, one regular, and then that svn.
[02:40] <dromer> can anyone help me with my kernel panics? it's kind of critical I think :/
[02:40] <Taras> alright, my friend has a copy that he ordered, i just downloaded an ISO
[02:40] <hypn0> matt__: with bugs and fixes yeah
[02:42] <padee> does anyone have an idea, why the login-screen is coming up again and again? i cannot login anymore... i got 3 logins, one of them is automatic (10s)
[02:43] <idefixx> Taras: you if say it takes a long time for you to defrag you can just download the cd while defraging.. depending on your inet speed that may even work out.
[02:43] <Taras> i already dowloaded and burned
[02:43] <Taras> it will take 20 mins to download
[02:44] <dEcLiNe> nas
[02:44] <scotchi1> ha
[02:44] <idefixx> Taras: have fun then ;)
[02:45] <padee> is here an ubuntu-login-doctor? my pc is in pain...
[02:45] <whaley_> hi mates, what's the preferred way to quit X so that I'm working in just a terminal? Ctrl+Alt+Backspace no longer seems to do this.
[02:46] <idefixx> whaley_: sudo /etc/ini.t/gdm stop - or kdm - if you use kde.
[02:46] <stittel> padee: What's message do you get when trying to login from console?
[02:46] <whaley_> idefixx: thanks :)
[02:46] <idefixx> whaley_: oops '/etc/init.d/gdm'
[02:46] <padee> stittel: the login as root works... but the other profiles are not visible...
[02:46] <SeySayux> stittel: i'm back
[02:47] <stittel> padee: "profiles?
[02:47] <stittel> padee: You mean user accounts?
[02:47] <padee> stittel: user-profiles... yea... accounts
[02:47] <stittel> SeySayux: So?
[02:47] <Dquestions2> how do i reisntall grub
[02:47] <Dquestions2> if i have my partiton mounted?
[02:47] <stittel> padee: If you try to login as user on console, which error message do you get?
[02:47] <Taras> what the foon... it was just 26% defragmentated, nowe its 4
[02:47] <Taras> ;-;
[02:48] <SeySayux> stittel: i do get more output... it halts at "attaching scsi drives" or something like that
[02:48] <jewelz> someone knows how to program in gtk using anjuta?
[02:48] <idefixx> Dquestions2: where do you want to install it to? the mbr or the bootsector?
[02:48] <stittel> SeySayux: So there kernel seems to be booting.
[02:48] <padee> stittel: one moment...
[02:48] <SeySayux> stittel: yes
[02:48] <stittel> SeySayux: Hence you probably don't have a problem with your boot loader.
[02:48] <SeySayux> stittel: yes, it seems so
[02:49] <SeySayux> stittel: but i still have the scsi problem
[02:49] <stittel> SeySayux: Uh... I am really not an expert on SCSI and Ubuntu server.
[02:49] <stittel> SeySayux: You could try another kernel image of course.
[02:49] <SeySayux> stittel: i don't have a scsi drive
[02:50] <SeySayux> stittel: i've got an 180 GB ide drive, but ubuntu thinks i've got an 200 GB scsi drive
[02:50] <padee> stittel: no error message
[02:50] <TheRevelator> hi everybody. is there a way to use xscreensaver or gnome-screensaver with gdm?
[02:50] <lasking> 320 16M
[02:50] <stittel> Padee: You mean you can login?
[02:50] <auTONYmous> Question: can the feisty livecd be placed on a usb thumb/flash drive instead of CD?
[02:50] <stittel> padee: you don't get at least an "login incorrect" message?
[02:50] <padee> stittel: no
[02:51] <padee> stittel: i also have gnome running as root...
[02:51] <stittel> padee: URKS!
[02:51] <padee> stittel: what is urks?
[02:51] <stittel> padee: a sound of extreme displeasment.
[02:51] <stittel> padee: Don't ever run software as root until absolutely necessary.
[02:52] <SeySayux> can anyone help me with the scsi problem? ubuntu thinks i've got an scsi drive, but i've got an ide drive
[02:52] <stittel> padee: Did you do anything related to PAM lately?
[02:52] <ribatejo> hi,
[02:52] <padee> stittel: what is PAM?
[02:52] <stittel> SeySayux: I'd really like to help you further, but this is really not my area of expertise.
[02:53] <SeySayux> stittel: where can i get more information about this?
[02:53] <void^> SeySayux: newer ide drivers use the scsi subsystem, so your disks appear as scsi.
[02:53] <auTONYmous> SeySayux: I think that's due to the new ATA drivers...they automatically put you in SCSI mode
[02:53] <SeySayux> but my kernel won't boot
[02:53] <stittel> padee: Plugable authentication modules. They are quite important for loggin in on Ubuntu.
[02:53] <isidoro> any ideas???.... with my tv card I can hear TV audio but no if I select external composite source. The audio cables of external source are directly connect on the TV card. I use sox to hear TV sound. any Ideas??
[02:53] <SeySayux> it halts at the initialisation of scsi
[02:53] <ribatejo> anybody can teel me how to use scim chinese with feisty?   I installed arphic chinese fonts and use evolution but can't make it work
[02:53] <SlimeyPete> how do you mean? Does it refuse to boot?
[02:53] <SlimeyPete> oops... wrong channel
[02:54] <padee> stittel: hm, i dont think i did anything to them...
[02:54] <ribatejo> scim -d starts scim and ctrl + space enables the interface
[02:54] <crolle17> where are downloaded packages saved?
[02:54] <stittel> padee: Since when is login as user not working anymore?
[02:54] <stittel> padee: Are you root now?
[02:54] <padee> stittel: since today morning when i started the pc
[02:54] <padee> stittel: now i am on my notebook
[02:55] <ribatejo> with kde  a toolbar would pop up ti select the fonts...
[02:55] <stittel> padgee: What happens if you type "su username" on console, where "username" is your regular username on your system.
[02:55] <TheRevelator> crolle17: /var/cache/apt/archives
[02:55] <cizra> What's the Ubuntu run-this-at-the-end-of-boot file name?
[02:55] <ribatejo> latest ubuntu has gnome and the toolbar does not show up
[02:55] <stittel> cizra: Are you looking for /etc/rc.local ?
[02:55] <cizra> Thanks!
[02:55] <Heavenquake> Can I get Ctrl + Alt to emulate Alt Gr in the manner of getting special-chars like brackets, dollars etc. ?
[02:56] <crolle17> THEoracle, thank you.
[02:56] <stittel> cizra: If you need more granular control over the order of your boot process, write your own initskript.
[02:56] <padee> stittel: no message
[02:57] <stittel> padee: It justs fails silently?
[02:57] <void^> padee: it will probably leave some hints in ~/.xsession-errors
[02:57] <stittel> void^: he can't even login on console.
[02:57] <void^> he'll have to boot from cd or rescue mode and debug from there anyways then
[02:58] <stittel> void^: He is logged in as root right now (it's a bad idea yes, but he has any right he needs).
[02:58] <padee> stittel: hm... i see right now, that also my files on the desktop are deleted...
[02:59] <stittel> padee: Maybe you have a big problem with your hard drive or file system?
[02:59] <labanux> !kubuntu
[02:59] <ubotu> Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE
[02:59] <padee> stittel: maybe
[02:59] <labanux> if i already install ubuntu, how can i install kubuntu desktop?
[02:59] <rsk> labanux: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[02:59] <stittel> padee: Make a backup (in case you already have), boot from the LiveCD and check your hard disk.
[02:59] <stittel> labanux: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[03:00] <karzel> hi
[03:00] <karzel> i have problem with Kaffeine
[03:00] <PocketIRC> aptitude better than apt-get?
[03:00] <labanux> rsk: and, if i want to install the KDE, but not the Kubuntu, is that possible?
[03:00] <jpjacobs> PocketIRC, yes
[03:00] <rsk> labanux: sure apt-get install kde or something afaik
[03:00] <stittel> PocketIRC: In general: yes.
[03:00] <karzel> i installed it and when i am opening, it does nothing
[03:01] <labanux> rsk: ok.., i'll try it.. thanx
[03:01] <z0rz> Omg, there's a song that's driving me crazy because it sounds like another song, but I can't think if that other songs name.  Does anyone know if there is a channel dedicated to music or something?
[03:01] <stone_> how to make the script will be startup program??
[03:01] <padee> stittel: how do i do a backup via the console??
[03:01] <stittel> padee: What is your backup medium of choice?
[03:01] <karzel> hey?
[03:02] <karzel> anyone
[03:02] <padee> stittel: cd-drive
[03:02] <Dquestions> hi
[03:02] <Dquestions> how do i reinstall grub
[03:02] <Dquestions> i dont have the /boot/grub folder
[03:02] <stittel> padee: cd-writer you mean?
[03:02] <karzel> do you know any movie player with SUBTITLES??
[03:02] <Dquestions> but i mounted my partition
[03:02] <padee> stittel: yes
[03:02] <rsk> karzel: mplayer
[03:02] <jpjacobs> karzel, xine/mplayer/vlc
[03:02] <Dquestions> with  mount /dev/sda3 /mnt ubuntu
 tot3
[03:03] <Taras> vlc ftw
[03:03] <Dquestions> HELLO?
[03:03] <stittel> stittel: Personally I'd use "dar" for the backup and  the cd recording application of your choice to burn it.
[03:03] <stittel> Damn, I mean padee, I am stittel myself!
[03:04] <jpjacobs> stittel, having an identity-crisis? ;)
[03:04] <stittel> padee: Do this from a KNOPPIX or other LiveCD if you have got two CD drives.
[03:04] <stittel> jpjacobs: No, just talking to myself.
[03:04] <CurtisB> This has been going on for weeks for me now... whenever I try to do something like `sudo apt-get update` it hangs at: 99% [Connecting to archive.ubuntu.com (<IP_ADDRESS>)]
[03:04] <stittel> padee: You can also use the Ubuntu LiveCD, though I don't know what's installed on it.
[03:05] <angryWolf> join /aachen
[03:05] <jpjacobs> padee, if you're somewhat confortable with the command line, i'd really recommend grml (grml.org)
[03:05] <jpjacobs> it has dar for sure
[03:06] <stittel> padee: If there is something wrong with your harddisk, you want to stop working on it right now. That's why booting a LiveCD to backup your files is the better option.
[03:06] <Dquestions> how do i set up grub
[03:06] <Dquestions> anyone?
[03:07] <stittel> Dquestions: with grub-install
[03:07] <Dquestions> i tried that
[03:07] <Dquestions> doesnt work
[03:07] <jpjacobs> Dquestions, try update-grub
[03:07] <Tom47> !grub
[03:07] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[03:07] <stone_> how to make the script will be startup pro
[03:07] <labanux> Dquestions: what do you mean with set up grub?
[03:07] <stittel> Dquestions: then edit it's configuration file, located at /boot/grub/menu.list
[03:07] <stone_> gram??
[03:07] <stittel> stone_: Simple way: add it to /etc/rc.local
[03:07] <idefixx> Dquestions: well if you killed you grub dir chroot to the mounted partition and run 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall grub'
[03:07] <stittel> stone_: proper way: write your own init script and add it to the appropriate runlevels
[03:08] <stone_> stittel: ok i will try.thank you
[03:08] <idefixx> stittel: read what he posted before he killed his /boot/grub dir
[03:08] <Dquestions> hmm
[03:08] <CurtisB> Help! I'm using Ubuntu 6.10 and this has been going on for weeks for me now... whenever I try to do something like `sudo apt-get update` it hangs at: 99% [Connecting to archive.ubuntu.com (<IP_ADDRESS>)]
[03:08] <stittel> idefixx: Ok, then you're right. I didn't read that.
[03:08] <Dquestions> idefixx, so i get this "grub install copies grub images into the DIR/boot directory specfied by --rot directory
[03:08] <idefixx> stittel: np ;) just wanted to let you know
[03:08] <jpjacobs> CurtisB, try another mirror
[03:08] <Dquestions> this is what i want to do exactly.. however.. how can i get it to do this?
[03:09] <angryWolf> Hello, i have a question to the Program wine. i've installed a windows programm, but can't find it now. can anybody tell my how to find the start exe of the installed Program?

[03:09] <idefixx> Dquestions: if you do not have /boot/grub this will not do you any good there are essential files in there grub need every boot.
[03:09] <CurtisB> jpjacobs - watching the output it does connect to archive.ubuntu.com a number of times.. it's just at 99% that it hangs... anyway, where do I find a list of mirrors (to add to /etc/apt/sources.list ?)
[03:10] <Dquestions> idefixx,  so what should I do?
[03:10] <DeTlEfF> i use xubuntu and i have 2 toolbars one on top an one on the bottom but how can i integrate the top bar into my bottom bar
[03:10] <angryWolf> in "wine" i can only find 2 text documents, but not the Program
[03:10] <stittel> Dquestions: sudo aptitude remove grub
[03:10] <idefixx> Dquestions: that why i said, reinstall grub like i instructed above
[03:10] <jpjacobs> !source-o-matic > CurtisB
[03:10] <stittel> Dquestions: sudo aptitude install grub
[03:10] <Dquestions> kool
[03:11] <CurtisB> jpjacobs - for the record, I can only guess with what I know how to do, but I think it's hanging on universe or multiverse (at archive.ubuntu.org)
[03:11] <stittel> Dquestion: Wait!
[03:11] <scd> hi. how can i start a program "on the top" of the actual display?
[03:11] <tatters> If I select a file on a removable USB drive  "move to deleted items folder" does it actually copy over the file to my main drive ? if so how can I just delete without it being placed in deleted items folder?            this is a 200GB external USB IDE drive formatted as NTFS, I am using NTFS-NG and "move to deleted items folder" a 14GB file has took 15 mins + 5 mins to emtpy deleted item folder
[03:11] <jpjacobs> CurtisB, you can try by commenting out those lines in /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:12] <TheRevelator> anyone an idea how to get a screensaver working with gdm? backgroundProgram within the gdm.conf is not working and trying to start it within the PreSession/Default-File fails as well
[03:12] <CurtisB> jpjacobs - thanks for the link and tips.. .trying it now
[03:12] <jpjacobs> tatters, it keeps a .Trash on the dirve itself, to remove permanently i guess it's shift-del
[03:12] <padee> stittel: hm... i am a little bit unsure... what is my problem exactly? login? gtk? xserver?
[03:13] <li> hello
[03:13] <li> what is your name ?

[03:14] <DeTlEfF> i use xubuntu and i have 2 toolbars one on top an one on the bottom but how can i integrate the top bar into my bottom bar
[03:14] <void^> !cn | li
[03:14] <ubotu> li: For Ubuntu help in Chinese  #ubuntu-cn  #ubuntu-tw   #ubuntu-hk
[03:14] <stittel> padee: This why you should check this out first, by checking your filesystem and hdd from the LiveCD.
[03:14] <padee> stittel: ok. i ll do that...
[03:14] <padee> tnx
[03:14] <stittel> padee: If you can't login from console and can't su to a username as root, you have a serious problem with login yes.
[03:15] <jpjacobs> DeTlEfF, you can put anything in any of both toolbars iirc
[03:15] <Dquestions> stittel, idefixx ... I tried what you guys said.... still have no boot/grub

[03:20] <shawn34> is there a program that analyzes your directories/files and helps you decided what can be deleted. like kleansweep for kde
[03:20] <jpjacobs> DeTlEfF, add the things from the upper one to the lower one, then remove the upper one
[03:20] <padee> stittel: i can login on console... btw
[03:20] <stittel> padee: ???

[03:22] <Dquestions> stittel,  hmm so what should I do?
[03:22] <javaJake> Hello everyone
[03:22] <ubuntuEdgy> hi java
[03:23] <jpjacobs> shawn34, ok, it can list it, rank it by size, but it can't decide what to throw out...
[03:23] <bonglord> hi java
[03:23] <stittel> padee: Also look in GDM's logfile.
[03:23] <stittel> Dequestions: Give me a sec, please.
[03:23] <javaJake> I'm running v2.2 OOo Impress. I run the presentation across two monitors, and use the Navigator window. However, the Navigator window is always under the presentation, so I can never use it. I can see it flicker for a second whenever I start the presentation.
[03:23] <padee> stittel: one sec... i am restarting...
[03:24] <stittel> Dquestion: You are right, /boot/grub is not part of the grub package, just checked that.
[03:25] <Dquestions> hmm
[03:25] <idefixx> stittel: I just checked it the grub package does not recreate the /boot/grub dir instead the stage 1.5 files and so on are in /usr/lib/grub
[03:25] <TheRevelator> bye
[03:25] <saigon> whats the hotkey for switching between workspaces in gnome?
[03:25] <tondar> anyone here worked with avant-window manager?
[03:26] <jpjacobs> saigon, ctrl-alt arrow
[03:26] <idefixx> Dquestions: im not sure about this.. but running update-grub may solve your problem.
[03:26] <ubuntuEdgy> set it to always on top ?
[03:26] <saigon> thanks:)
[03:26] <Spee_Der> xorg.conf question. what is the call for the wacom for ? is that really needed in xorg.conf ?
[03:26] <padee> stittel: now, stepbystep what happens: starting ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>-286 and i have an automatic login after 10secs which is repeating itself... if i try to login as another user, the login window appears again. now i will check the log files...
[03:26] <idefixx> Dquestions: so you'll have to chroot to your mounted partition and after that run update grub.. this command should create a menu.lst in /boot for you
[03:27] <detto> when I try to start X, I get the fatal server error: no screens found. What can I do?
[03:27] <jpjacobs> padee, i'd try to get rid of all .gnome and the like in your users homedir, and then try again
[03:27] <stittel> detto: Did it ever work?
[03:27] <Dquestions> idefixx,  hmm "update grub" into the command line?
[03:28] <Dquestions> that is not a recognized command
[03:28] <stittel> detto: Or did you change something, for example: graphics drivers.
[03:28] <neptoon> Dquestions: update-grub
[03:28] <padee> stittel: there's a nice message: "the greeter application appears to be crashing. Attempting to use a different one
[03:28] <Dquestions> k
[03:28] <Spee_Der> using a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard.  in xorg.conf question. what is the call for the wacom for ? is that really needed in xorg.conf ?
[03:28] <idefixx> Dquestions: yes, did you do the chroot command before?
[03:28] <detto> detto- yes, I accidently deleted some packages, and just reinstalled xserver-xorg-i810, and ran dexconf to get rid of other error stittel
[03:28] <Dquestions> i did
[03:28] <idefixx> Dquestions: also its 'sudo update-grub' if you are not root
[03:28] <stittel> padee: I won't be really able to help you with a GDM specific problem, because I don't use GDM and Gnome.
[03:28] <Dquestions> mount -o bind /dev /mnt/ubuntu/dev
[03:28] <Dquestions> chroot /mnt/ubuntu /bin/bash
[03:29] <stone_> stittel: i made script with command 'echo "hello" ' and i want it to run with the rest of startup programs(one of them is gnome-terminal)how to do it??
[03:29] <javaJake> In OpenOffice, the presentation's navigator window goes behind the presentation when I start it. How do I fix this?
[03:29] <stittel> stone_: You are talking about system startup or GNOME startup?
[03:29] <DeTlEfF> jpjacobs, thank you it works and it was very simple
[03:29] <stone_> stittel:  gnome
[03:30] <stittel> detto: Post your xorg.conf to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ please and give us the resolting link.
[03:30] <ibbuntu> Hi, I had feisty installed on a 250GB hard drive and have quite a lot of stuff in /home. I then broke my installation and had to do a clean install. So I decided to install feisty on to my 60GB hard drive (which used to be my windows drive), is there an easy way to get my new installation to use my old /home? and if so can I then delete all the other stuff on that drive?
[03:30] <stone_> stittel: but i do not what is the difference:)
[03:30] <stittel> stone_: Sorry, don't know, I am not using gnome.
[03:30] <idefixx> Dquestions: right.. what does update-grub say if you run it?
[03:30] <stone_> stittel:ok thanks
[03:30] <padee> jpjacobs: is it possible to reinstall gnome? or x?
[03:30] <Dquestions> it says there is no menu.lst file.. so i say. okay create it
[03:30] <padee> stittel: thanks anyway
[03:31] <Dquestions> then it does some stuff.. but it still does not seem like grub is isntalled
[03:31] <Dquestions> i had to manually creat /boot/grub dir too.. and there is only one file there now
[03:31] <idefixx> Dquestions: look in /boot. is there a file called menu.lst?
[03:31] <uniconformist> Dquestions: grub isn't installed.  you should try again.  what distro u using?
[03:31] <Dquestions> yes
[03:31] <Dquestions> ubuntu
[03:32] <Dquestions> feisty
[03:32] <Dquestions> the only file there is menu.lst
[03:32] <mazelado_> Can anyone help me to get my ATI drivers working properly? I've tried everything I can think of and they still won't cooperate.
[03:32] <uniconformist> i don't give help to ubuntu users.  if it's so easy, then why do people ask questions.
[03:32] <uniconformist> mazelado_: what distro?
[03:32] <mazelado_> Ubuntu Feisty
[03:32] <idefixx> Dquestions: i think thats ok your stage 1.5+ files are in /usr/lib/grub so i hope its anyway gonna work. just edit your menu.lst and check if everything is allright.

[03:35] <uniconformist> jrib: they should already know how to use Linux.
[03:35] <detto> stittel- im on another computer, the other computer doesn't have internet access. I can copy the video section of xorg.conf if that's what you need
[03:35] <Res> ahh ok  :d yeah i did   with the ending .bin
[03:35] <jrib> uniconformist: #ubuntu is an Ubuntu Support Channel.  The purpose of the channel is to *help* people
[03:35] <Dquestions> Like my stage1 file is not found
[03:35] <hacked_kernel> I have a program when I run it, it say  "./GuitarTuner: error while loading shared libraries: libqt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[03:35] <stittel> detto: xorg.conf doesn't have a section called "video".
[03:35] <uniconformist> jrib: most of them are experimenting and wasting our time.
[03:35] <Res> but now it is on my desktop an there is anway an error ('am an old Winddows user...)
[03:36] <Spee_Der> Res, Ok. Open a terminal window. When you have the terminal window ope, you need to change to the directory containing that .bin file.
[03:36] <jrib> uniconformist: you don't have to answer people who you feel will waste your time
[03:36] <uniconformist> jrib: that's what google's for.
[03:36] <idefixx> Dquestions: use grub-install instead, ie. if you want to install to the mbr type grub-install /dev/sda (or /dev/hda) whatever your hd is.
[03:36] <stittel> Res: You have installed it already then, it's just not running?
[03:36] <saigon> does someone know where to adjust brightness, color, gamma etc?
[03:36] <detto> stittel: sprru. I mean the Device section that is labeled "generic video card" and "generic monitor," or do you want to see the "screen" section?
[03:36] <Spee_Der> Res, work with me, I'm a bit slow, but we can make it work. It works fine here.
[03:36] <Res> a*ight
[03:37] <stittel> Detto: Just copy the whole file, please. Your error message was "Screen not found", right?
[03:37] <Spee_Der> Res, So, open a terminal window first.
[03:37] <padee> uniconformist: windows? what the &(/"&)*(???
[03:37] <Res> so well i downloaded it w/ Firefox.. that i klickt on "open"
[03:37] <idefixx> jrib: is there an easy way to recreate /boot/grub in ubuntu or do you have to do that manually?
[03:37] <Res> ok
[03:37] <uniconformist> padee: sorry.  i thought i was in #linux.
[03:37] <Res> is open
[03:37] <detto> stittel- I'm on another computer. I can type out the entire file if you need it all, but it would take a long time
[03:38] <padee> jrib: what do you mean? nothing happens... i cannot login, the login window just returns... all the time... sort of a loop
[03:38] <padee> uniconformist: no prob...
[03:38] <jrib> padee: does it happen with a new user?
[03:38] <ircleuser> I have a D-Link DWL-G122 H/W Ver: B1. It detects my wireless network but is unable to connect. What can I do?
[03:38] <Spee_Der> Res. Ok. Now you need to change to the directory the .bin file is in: IE: cd /homeuser/downloads
[03:38] <hacked_kernel> I need help please. I have a program when I run it, it say  "./GuitarTuner: error while loading shared libraries: libqt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[03:38] <jrib> idefixx: I'm not sure, have you seen the wiki entry on grub?
[03:39] <idefixx> jrib: will check it out. thx.
[03:39] <padee> uniconformist: an unhappy ubuntu user... at the moment... why?
[03:39] <jrib> !grub > idefixx (see the private message from ubotu)
[03:39] <Res> sorry for the dumm  q's but i am totaly new..
[03:39] <padee> jrib: it happens with every user
[03:39] <Spee_Der> Res, do you know which directory the .bin file is in ?
[03:39] <Res> well it is on my desktop...
[03:39] <Spee_Der> Res. No problem, I have patience and time..... I'm just a bit slow sometimes.... Work with me on this.
[03:39] <saigon> Is there graphical interface to adjust brightness, color, gamma etc?
[03:39] <stittel> detto: Just copy it over via USB stick or something.
[03:39] <Res> i am already thankful for the answere
[03:39] <Res> :D
[03:39] <jrib> padee: have you seen if it happens if you try to use a window manager other than gnome?
[03:40] <stittel> Res: Open a console please. Then type "cd Desktop".
[03:40] <Spee_Der> Res, one quick note. If you start you typing with Spee and then press the TAB key, it will complete my nick and then you are whispering.
[03:40] <padee> jrib: i think, i just should reinstall gnome, gtk, x-server... whatever is related to the graphical stuff.. how do i do that?
[03:40] <Dquestions> idefixx, now i get "Errro 17 : Cannnot mount selected partition"
[03:40] <Spee_Der> stittel, take over please, I need to drive my son someplace, will return in a bit.
[03:41] <padee> jrib: no
[03:41] <stittel> Res: type "ls" and the Google earth file should be listed.
[03:41] <padee> do i have other window managers?
[03:41] <American-Tech_> Anybody know of a good mail notify program? I used pop-peeper with XP
[03:41] <Spee_Der> Res, stick with stittel for now, just be patient......
[03:41] <goldbond> how does one change the gdm theme and the ubuntu splash?
[03:41] <Res> ok i think i know ...
[03:41] <stittel> Res: It is named ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin right?
[03:41] <mrmonday> what wireless chipsets work flawlessly with all linux distros and windows, preferably USB, and it needs to support WPA and WPA2
[03:41] <goldbond> i can't find the answer on google for the life of me
[03:41] <Res> so i need to typ /home/andi030/desktop?!
[03:41] <jrib> padee: try fluxbox for example.  You should be able to log into a terminal if you hit ctrl-alt-f1 (you can come back to X with ctrl-alt-f7)
[03:42] <jrib> padee: and from there you can install fluxbox
[03:42] <stittel> Res: For example, but I think "Desktop" should be with a capital D.
[03:42] <mrmonday> The intel ones look good, but I cand find any USB models
[03:42] <Res> upsa.. yeah
[03:42] <cheezy> Can someone help me with something related to file permissions?
[03:42] <padee> jrib: i assume i have to install that first, right?
[03:42] <arrow> mrmonday: http://www.linuxcompatible.org/compatibility.html
[03:42] <stittel> Res: After that typing "ls" will list the GoogleEarthLinux.bin file, right?
[03:42] <idefixx> Dquestions: that means that grub is pointing to the wrong partition. did you consider that grub start with hd0,0 that means hda2 is hd0,1 - when you edited your menu.lst? you can also change these options in grub directly by pressing the 'e' key
[03:42] <ircleuser> I have a D-Link DWL-G122 H/W Ver: B1. It detects my wireless network but is unable to connect. What can I do?
[03:43] <neuling> hello!
[03:43] <jrib> padee: right, sudo apt-get install fluxbox .  While you are at the terminal, you can check ~/.xsession-errors for anything interesting as well
[03:43] <Res> hold on ....

[03:44] <Res> do i need to typ ls /home/....

[03:45] <yagami> JDStone: try ./nameoffile.run
[03:45] <idefixx> jd823592: usually they are shell scripts with binary code in it. just do /bin/bash ./myrunfile.run
[03:45] <Dquestions>  hmm i changed it
[03:45] <Dquestions> to something else
[03:45] <Dquestions> how do I edit this from grub?

[03:46] <boubbin> !lamp
[03:46] <stittel> Res: Are you running GNOME or KDE?
[03:46] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)

[03:56] <Nubbie> jowi: oh sorry.
[03:56] <Jowi> Nubbie, can you try that command in a terminal for me?
[03:56] <rever75> I decided to reinstall my Linux machine. Since I have been upgrading since the first Ubuntu release.
[03:56] <jaims> y4gami: if no one answers i guess it's because they do not know an answer, not impolitness
[03:56] <Dquestions> Myrtti, thenw hat?
[03:56] <stittel> Neil: Yes. But please don't just uninstall the Gaim package.
[03:56] <Jowi> Nubbie, simply run "man --html=firefox man"
[03:56] <Res> working well but sometimes a black screen for less that a sec..
[03:56] <padee> jrib: it goes back to the login window and starts with repeating the automatic login

[03:56] <RoyK> hi. when starting the ubuntu 6 installer on this laptop, it only gives me 640x480 resolution and no other resolutions seem available. now, this is not enough for even installing, since I can't see the 'next/prev' buttons, and I can't scroll down to them.......
[03:56] <DocTrax> does avm fritz card dsl run with ubuntu?
[03:57] <Myrtti> Dquestions: hd(0,2)

[03:57] <Myrtti> prolly
[03:57] <kaptnemo> if anyone had the time I'm looking for a little bit of halp with xubuntu, and accessing 2 hard drives and getting some plugins installed for firefox...
[03:57] <Myrtti> not sure though
[03:57] <Nubbie> Jowi: doesn't work for me.
[03:57] <stittel> Neil-: Are you running Ubuntu or Kubuntu?
[03:57] <idefixx> Dquestions: in that case your the entry in your menu.lst has to be set to root (hd0,2)
[03:57] <Jowi> Nubbie, groff error? are you using edgy or feisty?
[03:57] <jrib> padee: what do you mean by "repeating"?  Does it just bring you back there as though you just booted or does something else happen?
[03:57] <Neil-> stittel: ubuntu
[03:57] <rever75> Well my ir remote for my TV Card was not working. I try everything. Nothing. 2days later I get it working. Some how the USB humb I was using got unplugged.
[03:57] <Dquestions> i tried that
[03:57] <Dquestions> =(

[03:58] <stittel> Neil-: The metapackage "ubuntu-desktop" depends on Gaim and will get removed if you deinstall Gaim. In short: This will mess up dependencys on your system.
[03:58] <jaims> :)
[03:58] <idefixx> Dquestions: you have to 'reinstall' grub with 'install-grub /dev/sda3'
[03:58] <Neil-> stittel: OK, ill just run pidgin alongside it then :) thanks
[03:59] <idefixx> Dquestions: dont forget to chroot first.
[03:59] <stittel> Neil-: Do you need a deb package? Or how do you plan to install Pidgin?
[03:59] <jaims> y4gami: i have never done that
[03:59] <Res> mhh not possible ...
[03:59] <jaims> it's non trivial question

[04:00] <stittel> Res: Is Google Earth there? If not, maybe log out and back in to see if it is.
[04:00] <Res> can't i just add it over "system" "settings" "main Menu"?

[04:01] <padee> jrib: it keeps going back to the original login window...
[04:01] <stittel> y4gami: Do you want to compile it from source, because of securtiy concerns?
[04:01] <debian-gentoo> what protocall is the best to use ipp?
[04:01] <BlackBsd> hi, besides kubuntu having kde, is there any other difference in the install media?
[04:02] <kaptnemo> CAn someone please help me I'm trying to move fils off of my external hard drive onto one of my linux drives but I seem to be unable to edit the drives says I don't have write permission
[04:02] <stittel> y4gami: If you are compiling packages from source, you should make a proper debian package using the Debian packaging utils, not just ./confige, make and make install it.
[04:02] <jrib> padee: ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a terminal
[04:02] <Dquestions> idefixx, also.. do i go into menu and change the root stuff? with nano??? and add the line "timeout 10"
[04:02] <y4gami> stittel: wait- i figured out why- i've accidentally made a link to linux-headers- not source.
[04:02] <fetale> nubbie: I just noticed another error further up the line, though... I'll see if that's it
[04:02] <stittel> y4gami: Why do you want to compile from source?
[04:02] <kazol> I have a problem with my soundcard. I have enabled it in the config, do I need to reboot?
[04:02] <dr_willis> kaptnemo, what filesystem is the external drives?
[04:02] <y4gami> stittel: no- its not security- i can't get xorg to work anymore.
[04:02] <Dquestions> idefixx, the above was my device.map output

[04:03] <stittel> y4gami: You want to install Pidgin, right?
[04:03] <jaims> bye all
[04:03] <idefixx> Dquestions: the output was ok

[04:03] <Dquestions> idefixx,  set it to hda0,2) and add that one line "timeout 10"
[04:03] <dr_willis> kaptnemo,   check the fstab file - you proberlyneed to just give the right options for it to get mounted where a USER can access them.
[04:03] <stittel> Res: Well, if it is really not in one of the submenus, just add a menu entry by hand.
[04:03] <y4gami> stittel: no, i want plain ol' gdm back- i am using geforce MX 440 card. so i use nvidia-glx-legacy
[04:03] <kaptnemo> the problem is I don't seem to have permissions to write to my 2 other hard drives
[04:03] <idefixx> Dquestions: timout without quotes
[04:03] <y4gami> stittel: lol
[04:03] <y4gami> yes, i thinnk you were referring to someone else
[04:04] <stittel> y4gami: Have we spoken before?! Sorry, I think I am confusing something. :)
[04:04] <Res> Stittel: is it soo dificult?!
[04:04] <dr_willis> kaptnemo,  the automounting system maybe letting root have full access and thats it.
[04:04] <Res> stittel: is it soo dificult?!
[04:04] <stittel> Res: No, but I can't tell you how to do it, because I don't use GNOME.

[04:04] <Dquestions> idefixx, so also change root to be (dh0,2) ?
[04:04] <kaptnemo> Dr Willis, yeah thats whats happening, how do I fix that?
[04:04] <Dquestions> i did the last time
[04:04] <stittel> Res: Maybe just rightclick on the menu and look for an option to change it.
[04:04] <dr_willis> I was thinking there was a new tool in feisty to help set up ntfs/fat drives.. but i cant rember its name.
[04:04] <y4gami> and here i am wondering what the hell pigdin had to do with anyth
[04:04] <Dquestions> it didnt work
[04:04] <Dquestions> =/
[04:04] <Dquestions> i'll try though
[04:04] <Res> thank a lot for your awesome help!!!!
[04:04] <kaptnemo> hrmm
[04:05] <Eli0t> any1 know good console tool to setup xsystem? when i install nvidia driver screen prints no support ;/ i need to change resolution and refresh rate
[04:05] <tatters> !ntfs-ng
[04:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs-ng - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:05] <Dquestions> idefixx,   ther is already a timeout 3 so i changed it to 10 and changed the hd0,0 to be hd0,2
[04:05] <dr_willis> kaptnemo,  the 'old skool way' edit the fstab file - put in the umask=000 option   there maybe a easier tool to automate it now.
[04:05] <idefixx> Dquestions: ok.. just try it.
[04:05] <stittel> Res: If you want an icon for your menu entry, take the one located at: /opt/google-earth/googleearth-icon.png
[04:05] <Taras> ok it defragmented
[04:05] <y4gami> Eli0t: yeah, there's a command to figure out supported monitor resolutions.

[04:11] <Nvening> If i modify a resolution to xorg.conf should the new, modified resolution  be displayed as an option in Screen Resolution??
[04:11] <Dquestions> idefixx, what do i need to add to make it display the options of safemode, memtest, and windows?
[04:11] <stittel> Res: BTW: This is not the normal way of package installation. It's just because there is no .deb Package for Google Earth and because Google Earth is proprietary software.
[04:11] <ubuntuEdgy> Nvening: is it not showing up ?
[04:12] <jrib> stittel: medibuntu has google earth packaged btw

[04:13] <Res> stittel: mhh i tought so .. normally i use "add/remove" (maybe wronge translation .. have the german version runnning ..)
[04:13] <stittel> Res: Where in Germany do you live?
[04:13] <jpjacobs> spap, never heard of it... is it in the repo's? or is it you compiled/installed yourself?

[04:14] <Res> stittel: are you form germany ?
[04:14] <LinuxHelp> Where can I find the documentation for a specific kernel module, such as parameters for use with modprobe? I've tried "man saa7134" but theres no entry.

[04:14] <padee> jrib: gnome: administration->login window
[04:14] <spx2> xtknight: same problem
[04:14] <kaptnemo> can someone please tell me how to go about changing read/write permission on two of my hard drives????they're both locked down to the root
[04:14] <spap> jpjacobs : it is a collection of scientific and educational packages for ubuntu
[04:14] <xtknight> spx2, what are you attempting to compile?
[04:15] <spx2> xtknight: can we go on private ?
[04:15] <stittel> jrib: Hmmm, I am very sceptical about third party package in general. But I'll have a look at them.
[04:15] <dr_willis> jd823592,   could rerun the installer and look at what its doing. is about all i can say. I always installed the game locally in my users home dir.
[04:15] <Res> stittel: than i have an other question.... think that you're useing german version
[04:15] <xtknight> spx2, i suppose, but everybody can learn if we just talk here.  if you have something to paste use pastebin.  or if it's really private sure go ahead
[04:15] <dr_willis> jd823592,  and that game is a bit old, there maybe some patches/tweaks needed to get it running right these days
[04:15] <stittel> Res: No, I am not running a localized version. But feel free to ask anyway.
[04:15] <spap> jjacobs  i have downloaded it from ubuntu web sites
[04:15] <jpjacobs> spap,  nice... if you've installed it via apt, i'd file a bug at the repo's maintainer
[04:15] <Res> ii am
[04:16] <dooglus> can the totem that comes with feisty play DVDs?  or do I need totem-xine for that?
[04:16] <spx2> xtknight: thanks for the help until now
[04:16] <dooglus> !dvd
[04:16] <spx2> xtknight: what can i do to get those headers ?
[04:16] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[04:16] <jrib> dooglus: it can if you install dvdcss
[04:16] <jpjacobs> spap, isn't it possible to install it through aptitude? that way dependancies are taken care of
[04:16] <jd823592> but installing it again would mean I will mess the pc up with tons of UT2004 directories
[04:16] <dooglus> jrib: I have done, but it still complains
[04:16] <xtknight> spx2, im really not sure...but again what are you compiling?
[04:16] <matt__> what are benifits of amarok over exail, and vise versa?
[04:16] <spx2> xtknight: a kernel debugger
[04:16] <Res> stittel: well what is the "reiter" thing on Irc...  i used Mirc long time a go and only knew Querry or something like that..
[04:16] <jrib> dooglus: try taking your dvd out and putting it back in after installing it
[04:17] <xtknight> spx2, ah hrmm.  maybe you need linux-source too?
[04:17] <xtknight> i wouldnt think so since it's a *.h..
[04:17] <dooglus> jrib: I installed it a week ago
[04:17] <xtknight> are you sure the debugger works with this kernel version and everything?
[04:17] <dr_willis> jd823592,  thats why i install stuff like that locally to the users HOME directory. it shouldent be spreading stuff all over the system anyway.  most likely it went to /usr/games or some place similer.
[04:17] <dooglus> jrib: have rebooted many times since then
[04:17] <jrib> dooglus: ah, it should work then (works here)
[04:17] <Nubbie> matt__: amarok uses QT, and looks ugly IMO if you're using gnome, and exaile is a amarok inspired player in GTK for gnome.
[04:17] <spx2> xtknight: how do i get that ?
[04:17] <spap> jpjacobs : sorry but i didnt understand! scibuntu is an executable and i feel it installs their packages through apt-get but i am not sure
[04:17] <stittel> Res: Reiter? Actually I never head of this before. Maybe it's just German meaning "tab" like having different tabs for different channels/users?
[04:17] <xtknight> asm/processor.h may have been deprecated. im only getting matches in xen packages
[04:17] <jd823592> I know where it went
[04:17] <stittel> Res: Like in "Karteireiter".
[04:17] <spx2> xtknight: yes im pretty sure it works
[04:18] <padee> jrib: is it possible, to reconfigure the whole system?
