[03:19] <grim76> randomlogic78: did you include a denyusers line as well?
[03:19] <J-_> at least it wouldn't de default
[03:19] <hitman1985> crzyboi_Laptop, no manual :-( so i thought it might be just installing a driver or something like that
[03:19] <J-_> be*
[03:19] <randomlogic78> grim76: no, what is the syntax for that
[03:19] <crzyboi_Laptop> hitman1985, look up the latest drivers on hp's site
[03:19] <yowshi> schnauzer: so how can i do something about this. if not disable it make it do the shorter scan or something. or manually run it whenthe comps booted so i can have some if minimal functionality out of my comp during the scan
[03:19] <hitman1985> crzyboi_Laptop, think i should give each pc on it a static ip ( one ip all the time the same ? )
[03:19] <grim76> randomlogic78: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-security-4/sshdconf-allowusers-access-441070/
[03:20] <randomlogic78> thanks
[03:20] <crzyboi_Laptop> hitman1985, yes... that way the computer knows exactly which one every time
[03:20] <hitman1985> crzyboi_Laptop, wow i havent done that in a loooong time :(
[03:21] <yowshi> anyon4e else know anything about fsck?
[03:21] <digitalfiz_> i always give static ips
[03:21] <hitman1985> crzyboi_Laptop, on the linux i guess disable roaming mode ?\
[03:22] <kevinO> hello I have like 5 screen sessions how do i kill them?
[03:22] <crzyboi_Laptop> hitman1985, ya
[03:22] <sileni> hmm i just installed ubuntu and i get so many updates like 126 mb of update should i just select all and install?
[03:22] <crzyboi_Laptop> kevinO, restart X ctrl+alt+bkspc
[03:22] <hitman1985> crzyboi_Laptop, :) thank you. ima be right back i guess
[03:22] <sileni> is this like windows where the better you updated the secure you are?
[03:23] <schnauzer> sileni: this is true of any software.
[03:23] <kevinO> crzyboi_Laptop, its on my vps though
[03:23] <kevinO> im using "screen"
[03:23] <sileni> schnauzer: ok i will update all
[03:23] <crzyboi_Laptop> sileni, is you update often... then you know ur secure and all the bugs are fixed
[03:23] <sileni> ok guys thanks
[03:23] <sileni> appreciate it
[03:24] <randomlogic78> thanks deny fixed it
[03:25] <crzyboi_Laptop> kevinO, so do it on ur vps
[03:26] <College_trained> is intrepid stable these days? i haven't checked recently
[03:26] <crzyboi_Laptop> College_trained, there's still alot of bugs
[03:26] <kevinO> crzyboi_Laptop, there s no x on my vps
[03:27] <kevinO> is*
[03:27] <kevinO> lol
[03:27] <grim76> randomlogic78: no problem
[03:27] <schnauzer> College_trained: Intrepid is still not recommended for a production machine.
[03:27] <College_trained> thanks
[03:28] <College_trained> good to know
[03:28] <crzyboi_Laptop> hitman1985, any success
[03:28] <crzyboi_Laptop> kevinO, u probably dont want to restart rite?
[03:29] <steve__> wee
[03:29] <grim76> kevinO: you can re-connect to those sessions and exit out of them.
[03:29] <solexious> What do i add to rm to remove a folder?
[03:29] <kevinO> crzyboi_Laptop, no i cant its not my vps, i just have an account
[03:29] <ridata> solexious: rm -r
[03:30] <kevinO> grim76, i cant figure out how to exit them
[03:30] <DJBC> i thought it was rmdir
[03:30] <ridata> DJBC: that works too
[03:30] <Spragie`> terminal
[03:30] <solexious> so rm /home/sol/* -r would remove any files and folders in /home/charles
[03:30] <grim76> just type exit then you will eventually get one that will say [screen terminating]
[03:30] <ridata> solexious: put the -r right after rm
[03:31] <ridata> solexious: and then yes, it will.
[03:31] <solexious> ridata, thank you
[03:31] <Tricyclethief> You won the fight, taking 4 damage and dealing 25 damage to your enemy. You gained $168 and 1 experience points.
[03:31] <Tricyclethief> You iced fUNKmOBSTAH.
[03:31] <Tricyclethief> lol i got my first kill at lvl 1!!!
[03:31] <ridata> DJBC: rmdir will remove the directories, rm -r will remove the directories and folders in one fell swoop
[03:31] <kevinO> grim thanks
[03:31] <Tricyclethief> oh doh wrong window =\
[03:31] <DJBC> ridata: does rm -r remove all files and folders?
[03:32] <grim76> kevinO: Not  a problem.
[03:32] <neil_d> why does the alternative cdrom, install lilo instead of grub when you don't install a desktop ?
[03:32] <ridata> DJBC: yeah
[03:32] <nosbig> DJBC: Depending on the permissions, yes.
[03:32] <DJBC> wow and all this time i've been using rm and rmdir
[03:32] <DJBC> haha
[03:37] <Pici> neil_d: Its probably due to the filesystem type you chose.

[04:01] <roukoun> FFEMTcJ: actually i'm not sure but i dont think so... anyway you can use an alias to do that...
[04:01] <FFEMTcJ> ?
[04:02] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: gnome-terminal -c "ssh whoever@whatever"
[04:02] <FFEMTcJ> Jordan_U: thanks

[04:04] <[Solars]> erm Live CD can get a crc error?
[04:04] <Makuseru> Are there any media converters in Ubuntu to turn .wav's to .mp3's?
[04:05] <Scunizi> MakeGho: is this for your player? or just storage?
[04:05] <tgblb> Makuseru, I think audacity can do that.
[04:05] <pryorda> besides sysvconfig
[04:05] <Scunizi> Makuseru: is this for your player? or just storage?
[04:05] <pryorda> bah
[04:05] <Scunizi> MakeGho: sorry wrong nick
[04:05] <[Solars]> tried booting up into live cd and i get an error saying that it found the image on the ram disk, followed by a crc error then saying it cannot open root device "<NULL>"

[04:06] <Lone`Wolf> speakin of audacity I need to know what repos I need to get audacious
[04:06] <Makuseru> Scunizi: to upload to Soundclick
[04:06] <Scunizi> [Solars]: might be a bad burn
[04:06] <Odd-rationale> !info nautilus-script-audio-convert | Makuseru
[04:06] <[Solars]> Scunizi strang if it is, cuase i been using it all day
[04:06] <Odd-rationale> Makuseru: Also, look up soundconverter
[04:06] <Makuseru> Thanks for the help guys, got Audacity to do it really quick.
[04:07] <Odd-rationale> Makuseru: or, if you don't want to install anything... ad you only have a couple files or so, try some online services: http://www.zamzar.com
[04:07] <Scunizi> Makuseru: soundconverter is the one.. it's in the repos
[04:07] <Makuseru> Odd-rationale: thanks, thats really helpful
[04:08] <[Solars]> i'll try burnning another cd
[04:08] <Scunizi> [Solars]: thought you were having issues on boot.. so you get the error and it continues?
[04:08] <[Solars]> scunzi nope its a new error .. .might be related to why my raid has all disk offline members
[04:09] <[Solars]> trying to get into livecd and load up some raid apps to see if i can fix the problem
[04:09] <Scunizi> [Solars]: you working on "server" or desktop? and you're right.. the desktop live cd doesn't have auto raid.
[04:09] <softnet> alguien habla español
[04:09] <[Solars]> desktop
[04:10] <[Solars]> 'lo cars__
[04:10] <Scunizi> [Solars]: can you get into "rescue" or "recover" kernel.. it's command line but you might be able to do it there.
[04:10] <bronzewalla> anyone know if there's a program that you can record video with a webcam in ubuntu?
[04:10] <softnet> alguen habla españollllllll
[04:10] <[Solars]> Scunizi burning another disk :P
[04:10] <Scunizi> [Solars]: as SLOW as your burner will go
[04:11] <[Solars]> Scunizi just strange that a cd goes bad that quick
[04:11] <tritium> !es | softnet
[04:11] <[Solars]> and it wasn't even scratched
[04:11] <Scunizi> [Solars]: you might also try the "alternate" cd
[04:11] <[Solars]> whats the "alternate" cd
[04:12] <Scunizi> [Solars]: it's not live.. it's a text install cd that has some extra stuff like LVM
[04:13] <cars__> [Solars]: Hello!
[04:13] <[Solars]> scunizi i am sure my problems currently not related tothe cd but rather my mobo going ou
[04:14] <Scunizi> [Solars]: k

[04:14] <[Solars]> or rather one major problem after the next
[04:14] <Davidgfhgfh> roukoun: the md5 are the same
[04:14] <[Solars]> biggest problem now )totally unrelated to ubuntu) is my raid desk has all "offline members" so i can't even load/mbr to either OS atm
[04:15] <binskipy2u> guys i asked this in kde 4.x room, but ill  ask it backwards in here.. if i installed ubuntu, and then added kde 4.1.1 and realized how much i like ubuntu(gnome)
[04:15] <Davidgfhgfh> roukoun: im going to burn and then try and see if it worked. even though i dought it
[04:15] <binskipy2u> is there any advantage to getting rid of kde?
[04:15] <binskipy2u> uninstalling it
[04:15] <binskipy2u> per say
[04:15] <jrib> binskipy2u: you get some space on your hard drive
[04:15] <MakeGho> Scunizi: no problem ;) I'm used to it. In the recent times people often pasted lines like "make:<tab> *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop." and I got them all.
[04:16] <binskipy2u> 500gigs..thats not an issue

[04:20] <jrib> !wifi > biouser_
[04:20] <jrib> pryorda: best to just ask the channel your question
[04:21] <pryorda> jrib: heh did.. Is there a way to view startup services and configure them besides sysvconfig
[04:21] <jrib> ^paradox^: ask an actual question.  Most of us have no idea what you are finishing up
[04:21] <SaintYossarian> Anyone know how to change my mouse configuration?
[04:21] <pryorda> jrib: what
[04:21] <pryorda> ?
[04:21] <jrib> pryorda: system -> administration -> services?  bum? sysv-rc-conf? man update-rc.d?
[04:21] <pryorda> im talkin from cli
[04:22] <pryorda> Im using ubuntu server
[04:22] <^paradox^> dude if u scroll up a few lines ull find a paragraph of what im asking about

[04:23] <ubbuntu-newbie> how do you install firefox on ubuntu......
[04:23] <pryorda> none of those help me
[04:23] <pryorda> jrib:
[04:23] <Spragie`> anyone know why x would just restart itself for no apparent reason? -- or know how/where i could find info on why it would do this?
[04:23] <tritium> Spragie`: you're asking for a reason for something with no apparent reason.  Come on, be reasonable.
[04:23] <jrib> ^paradox^: k, well I'm just telling you that if you actual want help from people that have just joined, then you should be repeating your question with details.  Otherwise address the users who helped you before
[04:23] <Spragie`> tritium, would there be a log of something like this?
[04:23] <ubbuntu-newbie> how do you install firefox.... the archive version
[04:23] <jrib> ubbuntu-newbie: ubuntu comes with firefox.  Check your internet menu
[04:23] <tritium> Spragie`: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[04:23] <Spragie`> tritium: thanx
[04:24] <KidJoe1665> Music and SoundFX are not working for most of my games in ubuntu studio! Please Help me?
[04:24] <jrib> !pm | ubbuntu-newbie
[04:24] <jrib> ubbuntu-newbie: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[04:24]  * genii ponders "archive version"
[04:24] <dTx> So have there been many e1000e OMG! posts today?
[04:25] <Bogus8> for a software raid... do I need to have a mdadm.conf file?  I've been running without one for a long time but everything I have been reading says to type out a command and echo it out to that file
[04:25] <danbh_intrepid> dTx: I think thats intrepid, right?
[04:25] <dTx> yep
[04:25] <dTx> Intrepid
[04:25] <[timux]> Hello, I've got a Radeon 9200 I'm trying to connect to a TV using s-video out. While the system is booting, it displays on the screen, but as soon as the system finishes booting and the OS has loaded the signal can no longer be detected by the TV.
[04:26] <pryorda> jrib: I update-rc.d does not help for what I want so again. What i want to do is view the config that stores the startup information so i can actually edit it
[04:26] <Davidgfhgfh> is there a way for me to install linux but still use the windows bootloader???
[04:26] <danbh_intrepid> dTx: you should ask in #ubuntu+1
[04:26] <jrib> pryorda: you need to be more specific then.  What exactly are you trying to edit?
[04:26] <SaintYossarian> Does anyone know how to change the configuration for mouse buttons in Ubuntu 8.04?
[04:26] <ubbuntu-newbie> how do you install things that come archived?????
[04:26] <[timux]> I've tried following this http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout guide, but it doesn't seem to be working so far. Any ideas?
[04:27] <danbh_intrepid> !mouse > SaintYossarian
[04:27] <pryorda> Im trying to find out what file stored the startup information for services that are in init.d
[04:27] <jrib> ubbuntu-newbie: you try to avoid it.  It's a lot better to use the Repositories as then you get automatic security updates.  There's also no general method for installing something that "come archived"
[04:27] <XeKtRuM> better
[04:27] <SaintYossarian> Oh thanks!
[04:27] <^paradox^> im in need of a hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. itll be shared between a ubuntu and a vista pc. we have cable internet, vonage phone service and the router is a vonage one with 4 ethernet ports, 2 phone ports. was hoping someone could help me finish up. heres my previous conversation for referrence http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html
[04:27] <XeKtRuM> how can I disable a device
[04:27] <XeKtRuM> ?
[04:27] <pryorda> ./configure && make *&& make install
[04:28] <genii> XeKtRuM: blacklist it's driver
[04:28] <Davidgfhgfh> hey does anyone recomend wubi
[04:28] <yowshi> anyone know why i cant install the zsnes emulator which seems to be in the repo?
[04:28] <XeKtRuM> damn
[04:28] <jrib> yowshi: pastebin what happens when you try?
[04:28] <pryorda> jrib: Im trying to find out what file stored the startup information for services that are in init.d
[04:28] <XeKtRuM> genii, the problem it is that I have two devices using the same driver
[04:28] <ubbuntu-newbie> @ jrib..... i have got firefox version 2.0 .... but the new one is 3.02
[04:28] <ubbuntu-newbie> how do i get the new version
[04:28] <XeKtRuM> but I only want to disable 1
[04:28] <danbh_intrepid> Davidgfhgfh: its supposed to be a good way to try out ubuntu...   If all you want to do is see ubuntu for the first time, definitely go with wubi
[04:29] <jrib> pryorda: man update-rc.d.  That's what you want.  And if you believe it's not then you need to state exactly what you are trying to do
[04:29] <yowshi> jrib: i made the atempt form the add remove programmes thing in the applications menu
[04:29] <pryorda> Im trying to fing the config
[04:29] <jrib> ubbuntu-newbie: what version of ubuntu?
[04:29] <pryorda> kinda like rc.conf in bsd
[04:29] <ubbuntu-newbie> 7.04
[04:29] <jrib> yowshi: try with apt-get install
[04:29] <pryorda> and inetd.conf in freebsd
[04:29] <jrib> pryorda: read the man file
[04:29] <kindofabuzz> yowshi, sudo aptitude install zsnes
[04:29] <jrib> man page
[04:29] <genii> XeKtRuM: Some bios allow disabling of onboard devices like ethernet adapter, serial port,soundcard etc etc. Might be way to go if the one you don't want is onthe motherboard
[04:29] <Flynsarmy> Does the latest version of nautilus support keepalives when SSHing?
[04:29] <yowshi> jrib: hmmm it says that the package is not avilable but is reffered to by some other package
[04:30] <ubbuntu-newbie> @ jrib 7.04
[04:30] <danbh_intrepid> 7.04, isnt that feisty?  mmm, ubbuntu-newbie , why havent you upgraded?
[04:30] <Davidgfhgfh> ok
[04:30] <jrib> yowshi: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:30] <ubbuntu-newbie> its a miracle i got this one installed
[04:30] <jrib> ubbuntu-newbie: if you upgrade to 8.04, you'll have firefox 3 available to you
[04:30] <ubbuntu-newbie> is a manual update not possible?
[04:30] <XeKtRuM> genii, in fact the one I need it is the one in the motherboard, and I need to disable the one from my Ati Card (I m talking about sound devices)
[04:30] <SaintYossarian> Okay, so I'm at this page suggested by danbh_intrepid, but I have no idea what any of this means.  Is there somewhere that explains wth this terminology means?  Someday I'll know what the heck all of this terminology means...
[04:31] <kindofabuzz> ubbuntu-newbie, you'd probably be better off just formatting and installing 8.04
[04:31] <jrib> ubbuntu-newbie: it is, and I'll send you instructions, but I recommend you upgrade anyway since 7.04 is about to reach EOL
[04:31] <Davidgfhgfh> i have wubi and it is installing right now ill be back on ubuntu or back on xo
[04:31] <Davidgfhgfh> xp i mean
[04:31] <jrib> !firefox > ubbuntu-newbie
[04:31] <danbh_intrepid> SaintYossarian: what are you trying to do?
[04:31] <yowshi> jrib: http://pastebin.com/f780a2344
[04:31] <^paradox^> im in need of a hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. itll be shared between a ubuntu and a vista pc. we have cable internet, vonage phone service and the router is a vonage one with 4 ethernet ports, 2 phone ports. was hoping someone could help me finish up. heres my previous conversation for referrence http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html
[04:31] <ubbuntu-newbie> hnk you
[04:32] <SaS> tritium: lol that made my system lockup trying to get to the bottom of that log file ha
[04:32] <genii> XeKtRuM: I think you'd have to muck around in the udev system for it, unfortunately
[04:32] <tritium> SaS: what did?
[04:33] <felsgold> anyone know where i could talk about em8300?
[04:33] <SaintYossarian> danbh_intrepid:  Okay, in most of my use on other OS (Windows...) mousewheel click (mouse three) and roll means very fast scroll instead of standard roll.  default in 8.04 it goes back in the browser.  I'd like to change it to what I'm used to.
[04:33] <XeKtRuM> genii, :o :( ok, thanks anyway
[04:33] <genii> XeKtRuM: You might want to try setting the onboard as the primary
[04:33] <SaS> tritium: i used gedit to open Xorg.0.log and started scrolling down w/ the scroll bar and my system froze up
[04:33] <jrib> yowshi: what is the output of 'uname -m'?
[04:33] <RudyValencia> How do I configure a wifi connection from the console?
[04:34] <J-_> Is there anyway to see if my network is encrypted with WPA2 while connected to it?
[04:34] <Daps> when running apache2 how can i find out what my server's "host name" is ???
[04:34] <XeKtRuM> genii, the only thing I want it is that my default soundcard (MB) goes in /dev/dsp and not in /dev/dsp1
[04:34] <genii> XeKtRuM: asoundconf   has commands for listing and choosing the primary device for sound
[04:34] <tritium> SaS: unusual
[04:34] <yowshi> jrib: you co0uld have just asked X86_64. but then i alreayd knew i was running a 64 bit system
[04:34] <pryorda> jrib: im not understanding update-rc.d
[04:34] <SaS> tritium:  where would i look to see if there is shared irqs/conflicting irqs ? im thinking maybe my pci wifi card and pci graphics card maybe conflicting ?
[04:34] <jrib> yowshi: zsnes isn't available on 64 bit
[04:34] <danbh_intrepid> SaintYossarian: sorry mate, I dont think I can help
[04:34] <XeKtRuM> genii, my MB soundcard it is allready as the default one
[04:35] <pryorda> jrib: everything in rc*.d that points to a init.d script will start?
[04:35] <jrib> pryorda: so just use sysv-rc-conf.  It will let you change what services start on what levels
[04:35] <SaintYossarian> danbh_intrepid: Ah, well... thanks anyhow
[04:35] <yowshi> jrib: ok so then hw do i install this from source. i presume i am going to need to do some work around
[04:35] <genii> XeKtRuM: No other immediate ideas come to mind then
[04:36] <XeKtRuM> The thing it is that (I dont know Why) I cant reproduce systems sounds cause makes my system crash when playing sounds
[04:36] <fallore> is there a similar or better music player than rhythmbox?
[04:36] <jrib> pryorda: well everything in rcRUNLEVEL.d
[04:36] <jrib> pryorda: that starts with an S
[04:36] <jrib> !player | fallore
[04:36] <SaS> tritium: thnx for the advice anyways, i need to run to the store; roommate is b****ing
[04:36] <pryorda> what about K stuff
[04:36] <XeKtRuM> genii, and a lot of software dont work cause my sound card it is in /dev/dsp1 and not /dev/dsp
[04:37] <tritium> SaS: ok
[04:37] <^paradox^> im in need of a hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. itll be shared between a ubuntu and a vista pc. we have cable internet, vonage phone service and the router is a vonage one with 4 ethernet ports, 2 phone ports. was hoping someone could help me finish up. heres my previous conversation for referrence http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html
[04:37] <jrib> pryorda: stops/disables them
[04:37] <XeKtRuM> Other thing strange it is that sometimes it sounds like it is on a cave or lopping (ding ding ding ding...)
[04:37] <XeKtRuM> when I play a sound
[04:38] <yowshi> jrib: bugger i can just wine it
[04:38] <Xonara> test
[04:38]  * KidJoe1665 hates being ignored.... But must get answer to question...
[04:38] <pryorda> so im trying to figure out what runlevel is exactly now
[04:39] <christan> Hello, I Am Really New At This, Is There Anybody That Can Help Me With A Few Of My Questions??
[04:39] <Cool-Nick> hi guys, i have a laptop with 256 RAM. Which ubuntu version do you recommend?
[04:39] <SaintYossarian> Does anyone know how to make Ubuntu 8.04 mouse configuration changes?  (Mouse-3 or wheel clicks DO cause browser-back, WANT them to cause 'fast-scroll')
[04:39] <jrib> pryorda: runlevels 2-5 are identical by default.  2 is default
[04:39] <christan> !myspace
[04:39] <christan> !java
[04:39] <pryorda> jrib: i read the man on runlevel
[04:39] <pryorda> SO what is Run level
[04:39] <Xonara> Uhh hey. I tried to compile something with scite but it spits out a .o file and I have no idea what to do with it. I couldn't find a scite room so... meh.
[04:40] <XeKtRuM> if I make a script to execute on start
[04:41] <pryorda> jrib: I'm running ubuntu in a vm
[04:41] <XeKtRuM> I need to give it permissions?
[04:41] <pryorda> is it normal for it to take forever
[04:41] <XeKtRuM> wish ones?
[04:41] <jrib> pryorda: forever to do what?
[04:41] <pryorda> Load Period
[04:41] <Tarantulafudge> I'm alive, I thought I would never get back on the net!
[04:41] <mooja> Xonara: .o file is the executable
[04:41] <pryorda> its just really slow
[04:42] <Tarantulafudge> there are no decent realtek wifi drivers for rtl8187b :(
[04:42] <jrib> pryorda: forever isn't very accurate, but it doesn't take a long time to boot in a vm for me
[04:42] <mooja> Xonara: but I believe this is the wrong channel to ask this question
[04:42] <Tarantulafudge> this driver BARELY works
[04:42] <pryorda> jrib: hardware?
[04:42] <jrib> pryorda: core 2 duo 1.8ghz, 2gb ram
[04:42] <ahtmly2k> hi can anyone help me? how do i customize the startup programs in hardy? cause i tried using "sessions" preferences but AWN never starts automatically everytime i reboot...
[04:42] <pryorda> i have 1.8 ghz sempron 1 gig of ram
[04:43] <pryorda> Could that be the reason
[04:43] <^paradox^> im in need of a hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. itll be shared between a ubuntu and a vista pc. we have cable internet, vonage phone service and the router is a vonage one with 4 ethernet ports, 2 phone ports. was hoping someone could help me finish up. heres my previous conversation for referrence http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html
[04:43] <Xonara> yeah I figured
[04:43] <Xonara> I tried running it and... Really, nothing happened.
[04:43] <pryorda> ^paradox^: read teh man on samba
[04:43] <jrib> pryorda: should be more than enough.  what vm are you using?
[04:43] <Cool-Nick> what versions of Ubuntu do you recommend for a 256 RAM laptop?
[04:43] <jrib> Cool-Nick: xubuntu
[04:43] <mooja> Xonara: you will have to chmod +x <file>.o
[04:43] <pryorda> VMware Server 2
[04:44] <Xonara> I'll try that
[04:44] <Cool-Nick> jrib: i don't like it
[04:44] <pryorda> its running better once x starts
[04:44] <pryorda> but its lagging as shit when you start say fluxbox
[04:44] <Cool-Nick> jrib: xfce if awful
[04:44] <pryorda> sorry for cursing
[04:44] <jrib> pryorda: tried to see if the same thing happens with a different distro?
[04:45] <pryorda> jrib: it happens with freebsd too
[04:45] <jrib> Cool-Nick: well, gnome and kde will probably be sluggish unless you buy some more ram.  ram is cheap
[04:45] <pryorda> Fluxbox started right up
[04:45] <crdlb> Cool-Nick: any chance you could replace one of the 128MB sticks with a 256?
[04:45] <pryorda> maybe it just needed vmware tools
[04:45] <Xonara> I tried typing in the filename and it complains that test.o isn't a command.
[04:45] <jrib> pryorda: try the vmware channel, they might have some ideas
[04:45] <crdlb> 384 should be enough
[04:45] <Xonara> umm...
[04:45] <pryorda> jrib: its better now
[04:45] <pryorda> heh
[04:46] <SaintYossarian> Anyone know how to change a Ubuntu 8.04 mouse-3 configuration change?
[04:46] <Cool-Nick> jrib: i have 256 DDR 333MHz ram. It's toooooo expensive
[04:46] <pryorda> vmware tools is what it needed
[04:46] <Cool-Nick> crdlb: i have 256
[04:46] <crdlb> Cool-Nick: usually they give you two sticks of 128MB to save money
[04:46] <jrib> Cool-Nick: "512 DDR 333MHz" in google gives me hits for like 30 bucks
[04:47] <eTiger13> how do i create command line shortcuts? as in vim /etc/apache/sites-available/default <- edithttp
[04:47] <tritium> eTiger13: "alias"
[04:47] <mooja> Xonara: try "./test.o"
[04:48] <KidJoe1665> can anyone read what I am typing?
[04:48] <jrib> KidJoe1665: yeah
[04:48] <tritium> eTiger13: your ~/.bashrc has some examples of alias definitions you can check out
[04:48] <J-_> Will nm-applet show my SSID even if I tell it not to broadcast on my router? I'm connected to it on wireless but I can see my network and others.
[04:48] <tritium> J-_: no
[04:48] <Cool-Nick> jrib: i don't know, but i asked in the market. 1 GB costs 100$!
[04:48] <KidJoe1665> ok, good so i'm just being ignored... not like i was silanced or anything...
[04:48] <J-_> tritium:  Sounds good. :D
[04:48] <Xonara> terminal says it can't execute binary file...
[04:48] <J-_> tritium:  Thanks.
[04:49] <rafkid> evening all
[04:49] <Cool-Nick> jrib: i wish i get 2GB RAM. My CPU is 1.6GHz which is really great
[04:49] <Cool-Nick> jrib: if i install 2GB RAM, my laptop would live for 3 years
[04:50] <Cool-Nick> crdlb: i have one 256
[04:50] <mooja> Xonara: I would google "programming on linux" and see if you get anything
[04:50] <J-_> One more daft question. Can I somehow see if my network is using WPA2 to connect and not some other encryption?
[04:50] <mooja> Xonara: you need to learn how the compiler works first
[04:50] <Xonara> Meh. Thanks for helping though
[04:51] <Xonara> Scite seemed to work fine in windows, but it was a while back ago and I don't remember much of it
[04:51] <genii> J-_: sudo iwlist <ifacename> scan    then look for the essid of your wap, examine the stanzas there
[04:51] <Mooninaut> Can anyone think of a reason why GRUB would try to boot from sda1 when I explicitely told it to look in sdb1?
[04:52] <Cool-Nick> jrib: google this "1GB DDR SDRAM 333MHz notebook"
[04:52] <J-_> genii:  what do you mean by ifacename? My network name?
[04:52] <Cool-Nick> $100
[04:52] <genii> J-_: wlan0 ath0   etc etc
[04:52] <mooja> Xonara: scite just uses a wrapper script for gCC. if you're serious about programming you should learn how gcc works first
[04:52] <J-_> genii:  thanks muchly
[04:53] <SaintYossarian> Anyone know how to enable auto-scroll in FF3.01 for Ubuntu 8.04?
[04:53] <mooja> Xonara: good luck with your learning though
[04:53] <Xonara> thanks :P
[04:54] <rafkid> can anyone spare five minutes to help me with adding a user to the sudoers sources.list please?
[04:54] <ahtmly2k> hi can anyone help me? how do i customize the startup programs in hardy? cause i tried using "sessions" preferences but AWN never starts automatically everytime i reboot...
[04:54] <tritium> rafkid: simple -- add them to the "admin" group.  Don't touch the /etc/sudoers file at all.
[04:55] <kindofabuzz> FF 3.03beta is out in the repos now
[04:55] <SaintYossarian> 3.03 is unacceptable to me for unrelated reasons.  ;.;
[04:55] <Mez> tritium, I think he means he only wants them to be able to edit sources.list ?
[04:55] <pryorda> What would I use to configure Some stuff
[04:55] <pryorda> bah
[04:55] <Mez> SaintPaulTom, I'd prefer a version 4.04
[04:55] <kindofabuzz> SaintPaulTom, that wasn't directed at you. i was just announcing it
[04:55] <tritium> Mez: maybe so.   It Shows That It's Playing But I Dont Hear Anything.
[04:56] <kindofabuzz> i mean SaintYossarian
[04:56] <tritium> !language | Davidgfhgfh
[04:56] <SaintYossarian> kindofabuzz: Sorry, it was actually marginally related to my question.  Heh.
[04:56] <crimsun> christan: install pavucontrol and use it to migrate the stream to your USB speakers
[04:56] <Mez> christan, from a console, type alsamixer, and see whether your levels are up...
[04:57] <Mez> oh... usb speakers
[04:57] <tritium> Mez: now we'll never know for sure
[04:57] <christan> KK i'll try that, thanks =]

[04:59] <rafkid> can anyone tell me why you would not pm someone on this channel - why is it not appropriate that is? most grateful for the protocol nudge
[04:59] <|thunder> hey all, how can I get exact manufacturer, vendor and device ID codes out of my hardware ? im trying with lshw, but it tells me the name, i need corrosponding codes. any ideas ?  googles not much help
[05:00] <genii> Davidgfhgfh: Does command:    apt-cache policy sed                 show that it is installed? (*** beside one of the versions)
[05:00] <mooja> |thunder: lspci
[05:00] <Lofde_> Hello
[05:00] <Davidgfhgfh> genii: i am using wubi and have no clue what that apt-cache means i am new to ubuntu just installed wubi about 20 minutes ago
[05:01] <|thunder> mooja; thanks, ill have a look
[05:01] <Xonara> Umm, what exactly do people mean when they say to "build" a file?
[05:02] <genii> Davidgfhgfh: Open application called Terminal   and type in the command. It will list available versions of the program called "sed" and show 3 asterisks beside one of those if it is installed. If not installed, no 3 asterisks
[05:02] <Lofde_> Hi everyone, I am a ubuntu 8.04 user, and am trying to upgrade to 8.10  everything seems to be going good, just the connection is very slow, its downloading these packages at like 20k or less .. and i have a 6 mbit DSL connection anyone know what may be up with the repos?
[05:02] <Lofde_> Xonara:  compile a program?
[05:02] <|thunder> mooja; lspci -nn, that did it, allmybaserbelong2you   :)
[05:02] <|thunder> mooja; thanks a million.
[05:02] <mooja> |thunder: np :)
[05:03] <genii> Davidgfhgfh: The most likely thing is that the program "sed" is not yet installed on your system
[05:03] <ahtmly2k> sorry i need another help... i've recently did some uninstalling few packages... but i feel that they leave a lot of junk... because my harddisk is ext3 is still full... and i store my private documents on my ntfs how can i make sure that the uninstalled packages are really gone and have no junks left behind?
[05:03] <Davidgfhgfh> genii: i press enter to load ubuntu from the bootloader and it goes to a screen where it has the logo and loading bar then, after awhile of it frozen in the quarter mark that shows up about 100 times then the second and third messeges i posted comes up
[05:03] <Xonara> Yeah
[05:03] <tarelerulz> I have black ipod nano 8gb and gtkpod works great for managing videos and song ,but I can't manage my phones on it.  does anyone have the same thing ? if  so what do you use ?
[05:03] <tritium> genii: unlikely, as ubuntu-minimal depends on it
[05:03] <genii> Davidgfhgfh: Ah, so not even booting fully then
[05:03] <eTiger13> whats the correct way to set server timezone?
[05:04] <Davidgfhgfh> genii: yes
[05:04] <Lofde_> ahtmly2k:  hey there is a great program to see where the most of your disk useage is going to
[05:04] <Davidgfhgfh> genii: you need my specs
[05:04] <Lofde_> ahtmly2k:  it will show it in a graph that way you can narrow down and find out where the most space is going to
[05:04] <rafkid> tritium: do tell why is it inappropriate to pm on this channel please?
[05:04] <tritium> rafkid: it's just common courtesy/etiquette
[05:04] <Mooninaut> Can anyone think of a reason why GRUB would try to boot from sda1 when I explicitely told it to look in sdb1?
[05:04] <tritium> !pm | rafkid
[05:05] <Lofde_> ahtmly2k:  program is called the Disk Usage Analyzer
[05:05] <genii> tritium: His error msg said something like : /etc/unit.d/rc:317:sed:not found      so I looked there first
[05:05]  * the_silent wb alll
[05:05] <genii> Davidgfhgfh: No
[05:05] <rafkid> tritium: where are the rules tho - on other irc chans I use it is derigeour to do so? where can i find out the "common courtesy" rules you speak of?
[05:05] <kindofabuzz> why do i only receive update notifications when i run an atp-get update?
[05:06] <tritium> !conduct | rafkid
[05:06] <genii> Davidgfhgfh: Are you using some raid system on your windows machine?
[05:06] <rafkid> tritium: thank you
[05:06] <acrousey> hi, my screen is flickering when I get to the login screen (I was playing around with what the video card was). How am I able to change it back? I forgot the button I need to push. F#_, right?
[05:06] <Davidgfhgfh> genii: i dont know is there a way to tell
[05:06] <minerale> how can I tell if the physical ethernet cord is plugged to the socket (static ip) ?
[05:06] <kindofabuzz> look at it?
[05:06] <christan> okay so i checked my levels and they are up and it is directed crimsun
[05:07] <minerale> kindofabuzz: i'm not at the machine
[05:07] <SaS> minerale: led's on ethernet card ?
[05:07] <tritium> minerale: visual inspection?
[05:07] <ericzhang> 大家好啊
[05:07] <minerale> i'm connected to it via remote KVM
[05:07] <genii> minerale: Try to ping the gateway
[05:07] <christan> So i directed everything to my USB speakers and the levles are up and i can hear a sound like it's "Starting Up" when i plug them in but i can't hear music when it says it's playing still...
[05:07] <SaS> wow @ chinese letters ;x
[05:07] <minerale> will ifconfig tell me if the wire is attached?
[05:08] <ericzhang> ??没人理我？
[05:08] <SaS> minerale: that should tell you if the card is recognized
[05:08] <Davidgfhgfh> genii: is there a way to rell if i am using raid i dont know what raid is
[05:08] <genii> Davidgfhgfh: Probably, but offhand I forgoet most of what I knew about windows
[05:08] <SaS> minerale: and if it is, it will show the ip address associated with the card (eth#)
[05:08] <rafkid> tritium: i guessed as much - it is not so much "common courtesy" as a rule of your own - thank you for the lesson
[05:09] <christan> So i directed everything to my USB speakers and the levels are up and i can hear a sound like it's "Starting Up" when i plug them in but i can't hear music when it says it's playing still...
[05:09] <genii> Davidgfhgfh: Raid is when you are storing data across several drives as if they are  single drive. Wubi hates it
[05:09] <tritium> rafkid: no, it's not a rule of my own.
[05:10] <tritium> ubottu: tell rafkid about pm
[05:10] <rafkid> tritium: as you wish
[05:10] <Davidgfhgfh> genii: i only have one harddrive in my computer but i do have a ext harddrive
[05:10] <tritium> rafkid: cool it
[05:10] <genii> Davidgfhgfh: OK, odds are no raid set up then
[05:11] <acrousey> hi, my screen is flickering when I get to the login screen (I was playing around with what the video card was). How am I able to change it back? I forgot the button I need to push. F#_, right?
[05:11] <SaS> Davidgfhgfh: did you try removing the ext hd ?
[05:11] <Davidgfhgfh> genii: should i unplug that
[05:11] <genii> Davidgfhgfh: Probably not
[05:11] <Davidgfhgfh> sas and genii: before i go to bed tonight ill try it without ext harddrive..... is there anything else that could possibly be causing this problem
[05:12] <SaS> acrousey: you mean ctrl+alt+f1 for a console ?
[05:12] <acrousey> yeah
[05:12] <SaS> ;]
[05:13] <acrousey> SaS: thanks! Would you happen to know a way to set it to previous settings, or am i kind of screwed there?
[05:13] <genii> Davidgfhgfh: Was it an external drive you are attempting install onto?
[05:13] <Davidgfhgfh> genii: no
[05:13] <SaS> acrousey: what was the setting you changed?
[05:13] <acrousey> video card
[05:14] <mooja> acrousey: you might have to edit your X11 config file from the console
[05:14] <Killer--Tux> hello
[05:14] <rafkid> tritium: cool what? I am simply trying to get some help from these like minded people?
[05:14] <Killer--Tux> how do i add music to my ipod
[05:14] <acrousey> SaS: I have an integrated graphics card, so, yeah......
[05:15] <acrousey> mooja: just delete vid card info you think?
[05:15] <pryorda> How do I kill X
[05:15] <FFEMTcJ> Jordan_U: would it be possible somehow to do two executes? gnome-terminal -e "ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>"command 2"?
[05:15] <SaS> acrousey: as mooja said you probably will have to edit your X11 conf file, if it worked before, you can change the "settings" back ... try running the live version and comparing the x11 conf files
[05:15] <pryorda> i was using xdm
[05:15] <pryorda> stopped it and i wanna stop X cause its still running
[05:15] <tritium> rafkid: you know exactly what
[05:16] <DieselHopper> Can anyone help me with SMTP?
[05:16] <mooja> acrousey:  I would try renaming your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to something like /etc/X11/xorg2.conf and then trying to restart your X
[05:16] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: Yes, do you want the second command to be run on the remote machine or the local machine?
[05:16] <FFEMTcJ> remote
[05:17] <mooja> acrousey: when X server won't "see" the config file it will run with the safest possible settings
[05:17] <DieselHopper> I'm sure someone can help me lol
[05:17] <Templar_Xion> !ask
[05:17] <DieselHopper> So..basically, don't ask.
[05:17] <Lofde_> anyone know why the repo's ubuntu 8.04 is using to upgrade to 8.10 is downloading soooo slow?
[05:17] <Templar_Xion> Don't ask to ask, just ask your question, verbosely.
[05:17] <FFEMTcJ> DieselHopper: ask your specific question
[05:17] <rafkid> tritium: i don't actually - I do know you appear to be abusing your position here when I am just trying to get some help - you have been rude and threatening so far when I a new to this environment and have not been rude to anyone
[05:17] <Templar_Xion> Like Lofde_ did.
[05:18] <DieselHopper> I'm not going to type my question unless I know someone can help me with it :P
[05:18] <mooja> acrousey: so basically do "sudo mv /etc/X11/xconf.conf /etc/X11/xconf2.conf" an dthen restart the X11
[05:18] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: Just add the command as the last parameter to ssh, ie: gnome-terminal -e "ssh whoever@wherever command"
[05:18] <Templar_Xion> DieselHopper: ...
[05:18] <FFEMTcJ> ok.. thanks
[05:18] <Templar_Xion> !ask DieselHopper
[05:18] <biouser_> what should the basic /etc/network/interfaces look like for an ath0 wireless ?
[05:18] <Templar_Xion> :< burn
[05:18] <DieselHopper> Alright, I'll ask it.
[05:18] <pryorda> i can kill X
[05:18] <pryorda> but its running
[05:18] <pryorda> I want to get back to console
[05:18] <pryorda> and its saying f you
[05:18] <genius> hell! my sistem works as snail. it stops like it's 286 !

[05:19] <genius> its a problem with core qatdro?
[05:19] <FFEMTcJ> Jordan_U: that actually didnt work. :-(
[05:19] <Lofde_> I really wonder why this is so slow.. i am on a fast dsl connection and i am getting laughable dialup or isdn speeds
[05:19] <^paradox^> im in need of a hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. itll be shared between a ubuntu and a vista pc. we have cable internet, vonage phone service and the router is a vonage one with 4 ethernet ports, 2 phone ports. was hoping someone could help me finish up. heres my previous conversation for referrence http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html
[05:19] <pryorda> SaS: its a vm
[05:19] <FFEMTcJ> im trying to have it automatically open screen -x
[05:19] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: What happened?
[05:19] <FFEMTcJ> the term window popped up and then died
[05:20] <^paradox^> ive looked at the man pages dont make a lot of sense to me. sorry im still not great yet at the techincal stuff
[05:20] <mooja> pryorda: sudo killall X
[05:20] <DieselHopper> I've connected to a host using telnet and it opens up a SMTP console, and you know, I follow the procedure, HELO blah, MAIL FROM:<blah>, RCTP TO:<blah> and I connect just fine. But the challenge is for me to find a specified deamon running on the server. So, I was wondering if there is a command that can show running applications of the host while connected.
[05:20] <sekyourbox> I just experienced a really long load time when booting ubuntu. any ideas on how to troubleshoot this issue?
[05:20] <Lofde_> sekyourbox: boot log?
[05:20] <Davidgfhgfh> does anybody know what this means: /etx/unit.d/rc:317:sed:not found init:unable to execute "/bin/sh" for rc-default:no such file or directory  init:rc default main process (6871) terminated with status 255
[05:20] <pryorda> mooja: did

[05:22] <pryorda> SOB I cannot get X killed
[05:22] <darkbishop> !medibuntu
[05:22] <FFEMTcJ> Jordan_U: any idea?
[05:22] <Lofde_> mooja:  fwbuilder
[05:22] <mooja> is there a more friendly gui version of iptables?
[05:22] <DieselHopper> Shall I ask again lol?
[05:23] <sekyourbox> (Nothing has been logged yet.)
[05:23] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: Did you have a screen session running already? screen -x will fail if there are no screens to attatch
[05:23] <FFEMTcJ> yes..
[05:23] <mooja> Lofde_: ty, i will check it out
[05:23] <FFEMTcJ> its runnin

[05:24] <Jordan_U> ludwig__: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid
[05:24] <Lofde_> ludwig__:  i am upgrading right now
[05:24] <mooja> pryorda: i'm out of ideas ><
[05:25] <Lofde_> the repos are going sorta slow that are downloading the 1,400 updates
[05:25] <the_silent> wew
[05:25] <ludwig__> oh yah, so ubuntu+1 is now stable enough to use?
[05:25] <the_silent> so sloly
[05:25] <SaS> what is the first thing I should do to secure my fresh ubuntu install from being 'hacked'
[05:25] <softnet> alguien habla español
[05:25] <tritium> SaS: sit back and relax
[05:25] <tritium> !es | softnet
[05:25] <mooja> SaS: sudo apt-get upgrade
[05:25] <pryorda> mooja: its okay im very familar with *nix and ts funny
[05:25] <SaS> tritium: lol ;] pretty secure then?
[05:26] <tritium> SaS: yes.  No open ports by default.
[05:26] <Templar_Xion> SaS: Unplug the ethernet. Guarenteed unhackable.
[05:26] <ziesemer_> Can someone please help me get my screen resolution set properly in Hardy Heron?  I have a CRT.  Works great under Windows at 1280x1024 @ 70 Hz.  Ubuntu is seemingly only allowing 60.  I've read dozens of pages / faqs about xorg.conf, tried inserting various modelines, etc.    I already have the key generated, I just need to know the arguments for SCP to get it to use the key.  Anyone know what the proper arguments would be?
[05:28] <Lofde_> i want to be in a commercial for ubuntu... have a bunch of youtubers on webcams saying "im a Ubuntu"
[05:28] <tritium> SaS: not really a concern, unless your machine is, say, an email server to Windows clients.
[05:28] <darkbishop> !medibuntu
[05:28] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: Try "ping google.com" instead and see if that runs
[05:28] <ludwig__> okok, seriously, Ibex is not stable enough then.. hope to hear some reports/status reports on beta release
[05:29] <ludwig__> hate, hate, hate peace
[05:29] <ziesemer_> Anyone here knowledable about HorizSync, VertRefresh, xorg.conf, etc.?
[05:30] <Lofde_> ziesemer_:  what about it ?
[05:30] <SaS> tritium: thnx again for advice; I am somewhat new to linux, i have taken short classes on linux which tought very basic commands so i basically know nothing about linux lol
[05:30] <Lofde_> it depends on what your monitor supports, and which you would like to use
[05:30] <FFEMTcJ> Jordan_U: yes.. but im not sure if it was from the server or my local because the screen that says you have logged in never appeared
[05:30] <ziesemer_> Lofde_, as shown above, I'm trying to get my CRT to 1280x1024 @ 75.
[05:30] <Lofde_> normally monitors default to 60hz but it depends on your resolution
[05:30] <tritium> SaS: sure.  Welcome, and good luck.  (And good night!)
[05:30] <^paradox^> im in need of a hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. itll be shared between a ubuntu and a vista pc. we have cable internet, vonage phone service and the router is a vonage one with 4 ethernet ports, 2 phone ports. was hoping someone could help me finish up. heres my previous conversation for referrence http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html
[05:30] <Lofde_> does your monitor support that res?
[05:30] <ziesemer_> Yes.  Works great under Windows at it.
[05:30] <Lofde_> hold on a sec
[05:31] <Lofde_> theres a good program for linux to change resolutions
[05:31] <ziesemer_> I've tried various things in /etc/X11/xorg.conf .
[05:31] <^paradox^> medibuntu
[05:31] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: That "screen" is the Message Of The Day ( MOTD ) and it only shows up when you start a login shell, you are starting ping, not a login shell
[05:31] <Lofde_> do you have System, Preferences, Screen Resolution ?
[05:31] <ziesemer_> But after Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, things seem to always revert.  Going to "System" / "Screen Resolutions" always shows 1280x1024 @ 60.
[05:32] <ziesemer_> Yes, there.
[05:32] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: It's odd that screen -x isn't working though
[05:32] <Akazawa> hey guys, my computer keeps beeping randomly but I don't see any error messages pop up or anything. is there a way to check for error messages via the terminal?
[05:32] <FFEMTcJ> i set it to gnome-terminal -e "ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>ping google.com" and it pinged google..
[05:32] <FFEMTcJ> but i dont know if it was before or after login
[05:33] <droopsta915> Hello, what do i need to install rar file?
[05:33] <Lofde_> droopsta915:  rar files need to be extracted like a .zip
[05:33] <Davidgfhgfh> does anybody know what this means: /etx/unit.d/rc:317:sed:not found init:unable to execute "/bin/sh" for rc-default:no such file or directory  init:rc default main process (6871) terminated with status 255
[05:33] <SaS> droopsta915: rar files are archive files or compressed files, like zip
[05:33] <droopsta915> just xtract, cool, thanx
[05:33] <biouser_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/50721/
[05:33] <ziesemer_> Lofde_, is it possible that the "Screen Resolution" dialog just isn't reflecting the actual settings?
[05:34] <ryan__> I just installed virtualbox with windows xp; however, I get no internet connection.  Please help.
[05:34] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: It was almost certainly after login
[05:34] <biouser_> someone can probably help me with my wireless fairly easily and make me very happy
[05:34] <Lofde_> ziesemer_:  id say its probably showing whats actually set
[05:34] <biouser_> I pasted some ouput in that file there
[05:35] <biouser_> I have ar5212 atheros that hardy thinks has proprietary drivers that aren't seeming to work... I used to have the wireless working on an old kernel+network manager but then newer kernels weren't working but now I've upgraded to hardy
[05:35] <Lofde_> Akazawa:  beeping randomly ?
[05:35] <droopsta915> i tryed extracting a rar file but said archive type not supported.
[05:35] <biouser_> anyone got a clue how I can get my wireless working?
[05:35] <ziesemer_> So I've used http://www.sh.nu/nvidia/gtf.php, for example.  It gives me a modeline, which I pasted in to Section "Monitor".
[05:35] <Akazawa> Lofde_: yes, as if it is getting an error every now and then
[05:36] <ziesemer_> Do I need to still add HorizSync, VertRefresh, etc.?
[05:36] <Lofde_> droopsta915:  RAR isnt supported by archive roller ... theres a program that will freely unrar .rar files in ubuntu avaible from apt-get
[05:36] <Lofde_> 1 second
[05:36] <Akazawa> I'm downloading a very large amount of files right nwo and I'm wonderign if wget is having errors
[05:36] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: Try changing the preferences in gnome-terminal to keep the terminal open after the command exits, then you will be able to see the error message
[05:36] <droopsta915> anyone no the apt-get to open rar files?
[05:36] <Akazawa> since that is the only thing going on on that computer
[05:37] <Jordan_U> !rar | droopsta915
[05:37] <Akazawa> droopsta915: you don;t install rar files, you uncompress or extract them
[05:37] <Lofde_> droopsta915:  http://www.ubuntux.org/how-to-install-rar-archiver-rar
[05:38] <WtFoVeR> :p
[05:38] <FFEMTcJ> Jordan_U: "Must be connected to a terminal."
[05:38] <darkbishop> !rar
[05:38] <^paradox^> im in need of a hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. itll be shared between a ubuntu and a vista pc. we have cable internet, vonage phone service and the router is a vonage one with 4 ethernet ports, 2 phone ports. was hoping someone could help me finish up. heres my previous conversation for referrence http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html
[05:38] <Akazawa> droopsta915: try sudo apt-get install unrar
[05:39] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: Ahh, I guess screen won't work as a stand alone command
[05:39] <speener> how's it goin?
[05:39] <FFEMTcJ> Jordan_U: it doesnt appear to be connecting first for some reason.. is there a way to put a pause in there before the second command?
[05:39] <speener> anyone from houston?
[05:39] <Akazawa> does anyone know how where error messages are stored?
[05:39] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: Why do you think that it's not connecting first?
[05:40] <Akazawa> like the system and application error messages log files or whatever
[05:40] <FFEMTcJ> no idea..
[05:40] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: I seriously doubt that is happening
[05:40] <malikul> hey guys I need your help with a python script I am running.  have a background python script running from init.d. The script takes in parameters and then executes a commandline program. System is debian based. I would like the program to launch the second program in its own environment. As it a completely seperate process. I am using os.execvp but i keep getting errors. command is as follows... os.execvp( 'sudo', 'sudo', 'program',
[05:40] <malikul>  '-s', '-f', 'config.file') is that the correct format? I am getting all sorts of errors...also would you recommend using a different api instead of os.execvp? I have read the doc's and call popen don't seem to fit the bill.
[05:40] <Lofde_> I have the Wireless Connection Manager 1.10 for connecting and finding wireless networks easily, but it doesnt auto connect on boot, anyone know how to make it
[05:40] <Awsoonn> how can I use voice / video chat with empathy?
[05:40] <FFEMTcJ> Jordan_U: if I take the screen -x part out, it connects.. so it seems like the second command is either overruling or coming to fast or something for the first command
[05:42] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: If you don't have a command as the last parameter then it starts bash, if you do it starts the command you give instead. Because the command you give exits immediately the ssh session closes
[05:42] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: Same way that the session closes when bash exits normally
[05:42] <Akazawa> so my computer keeps making beeps of more then one frequency, does anyone have a clue how to check for errors? I don;t know where the error logs are stored can anyone give me a hand?
[05:42] <ubuntuuser11111> I messed up my desktop using window key + r ,and moved it a bit to the left, how do i fix it
[05:42] <FFEMTcJ> Jordan_U: so theres no way to make a pause between the ssh and the screen?
[05:43] <Jordan_U> FFEMTcJ: No, there is, it just won't change anything
[05:43] <ubuntuuser11111> I messed up my desktop using window key + r ,and moved it a bit to the left, how do i fix it
[05:43] <FFEMTcJ> Jordan_U: what is the way for the pause if you dont mind
[05:43] <^paradox^> Akazawa: i been here nearly 2hrs
[05:44] <legend2440> Akazawa: http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm
[05:45] <darkbishop> ping
[05:45] <wariskampar> can anyone tell me which is the best for Ubuntu, Empathy or Pidgin
[05:46] <malikul> wariskampar: depends on pref really. I am personally inlove with pidgin
[05:46] <Akazawa> so basically all this beeping started AFTER I did the latest updates
[05:46] <wariskampar> next gnome release will use Empathy instead
[05:46] <Akazawa> the beeping happens while the computer is running, not durign boot legend2440
[05:46] <malikul> Akazawn: does the beeps start when you turn on the computer or when the os is booted fully
[05:46] <Lofde_> Akazawa:  laptop or desktop ?
[05:46] <wariskampar> is that mean, they will dump Pidgin
[05:47] <Akazawa> Lofde_: desktop
[05:47] <xtremox> irsii rulez
[05:47] <malikul> Akazawa: did you overclock or is your fan going loud or not at all?
[05:47] <Akazawa> malikul: neither
[05:47] <Lofde_> Akazawa:  what kind of desktop?
[05:47] <Lofde_> who makes it
[05:47] <malikul> Akazawa: also are the beeps coming from the speakers or from the mobo
[05:47] <darkbishop> Akazawa: maybe its just some application that u run?... try killing ur X and c if its keep beeping
[05:47] <Akazawa> from the mobo
[05:47] <FFEMTcJ> Jordan_U: what is the way to create a pause please?
[05:48] <Akazawa> there are no speakers
[05:48] <kindofabuzz> explanation of the FF 3.03beta: http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.planning/browse_thread/thread/e047739c7e3345f0/67d18ecf25844dd9?show_docid=67d18ecf25844dd9&pli=1
[05:48] <Akazawa> I only use the terminal on it because I only ssh into it
[05:48] <malikul> Akazawa: I have had a case befoe where when sound is trying to play it will try to play over the system speaker. that could be your problem
[05:48] <xtremox> ff3 update is not storage password T_T
[05:49] <malikul> Akazawa: which would be really odd and strange if that was the case
[05:49] <Akazawa> this is my computer
[05:49] <Akazawa> http://reviews.cnet.com/soho-servers/dell-poweredge-600sc/4505-3125_7-30633173.html
[05:49] <malikul> Akazawa: sounds to me more like overheating beeps if you ask me
[05:49] <^paradox^> im in need of a hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. itll be shared between a ubuntu and a vista pc. we have cable internet, vonage phone service and the router is a vonage one with 4 ethernet ports, 2 phone ports. was hoping someone could help me finish up. heres my previous conversation for referrence http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html
[05:49] <Akazawa> malikul: I don;t play sound on this computer
[05:49] <ASrock> i installed windows xp on my 250gb hard drive which is plugged into SATA1 and ubuntu on my 300Gb hard drive which is plugged into SATA0...the grub loader didnt detect windows xp how do i add it?
[05:50] <Akazawa> how do I check if it is overheating via the terminal?
[05:50] <biouser_> how do I find my wireless-essid?
[05:51] <Akazawa> in total my cpu is only in use by 3%
[05:51] <Akazawa> so I doubt it is overheating
[05:51] <malikul> Akazawa: I am not sure. Could try calling dell. CPU % shouldn't make a difference.
[05:51] <malikul> Akazawa: you have xeon processors right?
[05:51] <Akazawa> I'm doing a shit load of hard drive and wireless stuff right now though
[05:51] <Akazawa> malikul: no, pentium 4
[05:52] <Lofde_> Akazawa:  sometimes a dell can make beeps on start if its got some issues, but they shouldnt keep going into the computers operation
[05:52] <^paradox^> i really need a hand. got a shitload of files to print
[05:52] <malikul> Akazawa: the p4 should throttle down when overheating: is the system getting slower
[05:52] <Akazawa> Lofde_: this computer has been on for months
[05:52] <Lofde_> is it a Percision or Optiplex ?
[05:52] <Akazawa> malikul: well the gui is slow right now, yes
[05:53] <malikul> Akazawa: sounds to me like overheating. is your fan running high or not at all. dells fans do break after a few years
[05:53] <Akazawa> malikul: I just installed a new fan, it if running fine
[05:53] <darkbishop> Akazawa:do this bep happen when u running any application in gui?
[05:54] <Akazawa> darkbishop: no, I don;t run apps in the gui
[05:54] <malikul> Akazawa: run xgears and see what frams you are getting
[05:54] <malikul> let it run a little
[05:54] <Akazawa> the only things going on right now are the screensaver, 10 instances of wget and ssh
[05:55] <Lofde_> Akazawa:  lol go to init 1 and see if it still beeps heh
[05:55] <darkbishop> Akazawa: have u try killing your gui and run fullie on text base...kill ur X...
[05:55] <Akazawa> darkbishop: when I try to kill X it just startzs it back up
[05:55] <ziesemer_> OK, I actually got my xorg.conf "broken" enough once that when X restarted, it presented me with this wonderful GUI full of monitor selections, etc.  Any clue how to get that back again??
[05:55] <Akazawa> darkbishop: how do I stop X
[05:56] <darkbishop> akazawa: if you using ubuntu then u can issue this command to kill ur X "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[05:56] <Lofde_> ziesemer_:  you could run the X.org configuration tool ?
[05:56] <ziesemer_> Which is?
[05:56] <darkbishop> Akazawa: oh... to start it back you just change the command to start
[05:56] <ziesemer_> (I didn't see it listed in any of the 12+ FAQs I read about xorg.conf...)
[05:57] <LinuxWizard_> can anyone help with live flash os's?
[05:57] <^paradox^> im in need of a hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. itll be shared between a ubuntu and a vista pc. we have cable internet, vonage phone service and the router is a vonage one with 4 ethernet ports, 2 phone ports. was hoping someone could help me finish up. heres my previous conversation for referrence http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html
[05:58] <malikul> ziesemer_ do you have nvidia installed?
[05:58] <Lofde_> ziesemer_:  xorgcfg
[05:58] <malikul> if you have nvidia drivers their is another config program for that
[05:58] <biouser_> how do I find the make of my wireless adapter?
[05:58] <ziesemer_> Nope, no nvidia.
[05:58] <ziesemer_> And "xorgcfg" results in "command not found".
[05:59] <malikul> try sudo xorgcfg
[05:59] <biouser_> are all ar5212's the same?
[05:59] <ziesemer_> same.  should it be installed by default?
[05:59] <ziesemer_> Or do I need to apt-get it?
[05:59] <biouser_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsNetgear
[05:59] <izinucs> ziesemer_, are you trying to install the nvidia driver?
[05:59] <ziesemer_> I don't have an nvidia graphics.
[05:59] <biouser_> i don't know what make of ar5212 I have...
[06:00] <ziesemer_> Just something built-in to the motherboard, and apparently Ubuntu is mostly working with it.
[06:00] <ziesemer_> Graphics work great at 1280x1024 @ 60hz.  I just want it at 70, like when I had it on Windows.
[06:01] <izinucs> ziesemer_, you can find out what it is from a terminal by typing "sudo lshw | less"  .... then using the arrow keys to scroll through the text to identify the board.
[06:01] <vogty> hello, can anybody help me with my hauppauge nova s2 hd tv card ?
[06:01] <biouser_> Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212/AR5213 Multiprotocol MAC/baseband processor (rev 01)
[06:01] <ziesemer_> shw ?
[06:02] <izinucs> ziesemer_, .... lshw... in caps (don't use caps) is LSHW
[06:02] <ziesemer_> Oh, looked like a pipe.  Thx for the clarification.
[06:02] <izinucs> ziesemer_, there was one there..   sudo lshw | less
[06:02] <Lofde_> ziesemer_:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:03] <^paradox^> im in need of a hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. itll be shared between a ubuntu and a vista pc. we have cable internet, vonage phone service and the router is a vonage one with 4 ethernet ports, 2 phone ports. was hoping someone could help me finish up. heres my previous conversation for referrence http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html
[06:03] <Lofde_> ziesemer_:  X -configure
[06:03] <vogty> kann mir einer mit meiner nova s2 hd karte helfen ?
[06:03] <ziesemer_> Lofde_, thx.
[06:03] <izinucs> !de | vogty
[06:04] <ziesemer_> izinucs, my display is "VGA compatible controller", 829456/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller, Intel Corp.
[06:04] <Lukas___> its posible to make some kind of installation really fast and small like Puppy Linux ??? (no server install takes 450mb minimal)
[06:05] <softnet> alguien habla español
[06:05] <Starnestommy> !es | softnet
[06:05] <Lofde_> Lukas___:  Dam* small linux ?
[06:05] <roger> The sound that plays at the login window before you actually login. How can i find the sound file that plays
[06:05] <ziesemer_> Lofde_, I tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg.  It configures my mouse, keyboard, and everything else, but does nothing or asks nothing about my screen.
[06:05] <izinucs> ziesemer_, that doesn't always work using the dpkg line.. I'll have ubottu give you a link to fixing resolution and getting the driver working properly.. there is a bug listed in the link about how to place the monitors horizontal and vertical refresh rates into xorg.conf.
[06:05] <Lofde_> it runs on a <50 MB flash drive
[06:05] <ziesemer_> It's also not the window I'm trying to get back again.
[06:06] <izinucs> !resolution | zies
[06:06] <izinucs> !resolution | ziesemer_
[06:06] <Lofde_> ziesemer_:  did you do   X -configure
[06:06] <Lukas___> Lofde: I want a really Ubuntu not a imitation like DSL,
[06:06] <Lukas___> its posible ?
[06:06] <ziesemer_> "sudo X-configure" also returns "command not found".
[06:07] <ziesemer_> err, space?
[06:07] <Lofde_> space
[06:07] <Lofde_> X    -configure
[06:07] <ziesemer_> k, looks like I have to kill X first.  Ctrl+Alt+Backspace is restart.  Quit?
[06:08] <ziesemer_> Thought it was "killx".
[06:08] <ahtmly2k> what is the swap good for...
[06:08] <ahtmly2k> ?
[06:08] <izinucs> ziesemer_, to restart x .... ctrl+alt+backspace.. or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[06:09] <genii> ahtmly2k: Extending your RAM
[06:09] <ziesemer_> But X -configure is telling me that the server is already active.  Do I need to have "X dead" first?
[06:09] <ahtmly2k> yeah but its always 0%'
[06:09] <Lofde_> Lukas___:  Ubuntus minimum hardware requirements in my ubuntu book say 500 mb heh
[06:10] <Lukas___> Lofde: I know, I make the server install and takes that 450 - 500 aprox, what i want its really speed up like Puppy, I dont like Puppy, I prefer Ubuntu for his repos
[06:11] <ahtmly2k> i mean what good is a large swap when its never used...?
[06:11] <izinucs> ahtmly2k, how large is it.. 1 gig is plenty
[06:11] <brianski> am i the only one for whom flash is broken with the latest ff 3.0.3 update?
[06:11] <dystopia> hi i have a problem with my keyboard layout the whole right part of the keyboard is screwed, the key 'up' actually makes a screenshot, and page up/page down and the arrows dont work.. i'm on a thinkpad T61, it doesn't list my layout...
[06:11] <ahtmly2k> 5
[06:11] <ahtmly2k> too big/
[06:11] <ahtmly2k> ?
[06:11] <izinucs> yep
[06:11] <izinucs> 1gig
[06:12] <ahtmly2k> im on a 1.66ghz core2duo and a 2gb ram... is my swap resizable?
[06:13] <jlilly> would it be possible to run 2 raid 0's? One for linux, the other for windows?
[06:13] <izinucs> ahtmly2k, should be but you can't do it while it's mounted.. it's much easier with a live cd
[06:13] <ziesemer_> How do I kill X?  Ctrl+Alt+Backspace kills it, but it keeps restarting.  I'm assuming I need to do this to run "X -configure".
[06:13] <brianski> ahtmly2k: it's not the end of the world. you can certainly use gparted (apt-get install gparted) to resize your swap partition
[06:13] <brianski> ziesemer_: /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[06:14] <brianski> ziesemer_: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[06:14] <ziesemer_> Thanks!  (Why can't I find this on the Ubuntu Wiki, Google, etc.??)
[06:14] <jlilly> ziesemer_: because YOU haven't blogged about it yet :)
[06:14] <ahtmly2k> yes but i'd have to do it from a live cd right?
[06:14] <ziesemer_> Well, that's interesting.  I now appear to be at a "dead" console.
[06:15] <brianski> jlilly: what exactly do you mean? what sort of controller? hardware? fakeraid? software? both installations on the same logical disk or on two seperate logical disks?
[06:15] <jlilly> ziesemer_: perhaps try alt+f2?
[06:15] <ziesemer_> It echos all my text, but nothing happens.
[06:15] <ahtmly2k> i mean i got gparted... but it wont resiza while its mounted... duh
[06:15] <ziesemer_> Yep, F2 did it.
[06:15] <ziesemer_> What _was_ I seeing?
[06:15] <jlilly> brianski: 4 HDD's using a raid controller on the motherboard.
[06:15] <jlilly> ziesemer_: no clue, but alt+f2 takes you to another tty
[06:15] <izinucs> ahtmly2k, like I said .. you can't resize anything while it's mounted. There's probably a way to unmount it.. but I'm not sure how.
[06:15] <ahtmly2k> ehmn... i'm desperate for an extra space for americas army
[06:15] <brianski> ziesemer_: you were seeing tty7, which had nothing on it once X was killed
[06:15] <jlilly> brianski: just curious if grub could pass off to raid.
[06:16] <izinucs> ctrl + alt + F2 for a different tty
[06:16] <jlilly> I would assume so, but I've also never build a raided machine.
[06:16] <brianski> jlilly: the answer is "it depends" but probably
[06:16]  * jlilly nods.
[06:16] <jlilly> cool. thx.
[06:16] <brianski> jlilly: i suggest srtongly you go for hardware raid
[06:16] <^paradox^> im in need of a hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. itll be shared between a ubuntu and a vista pc. we have cable internet, vonage phone service and the router is a vonage one with 4 ethernet ports, 2 phone ports. was hoping someone could help me finish up. heres my previous conversation for referrence http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html
[06:16] <ziesemer_> jlilly, was that an invite to blog about this once I get it figured out?  It honestly doesn't exist anywhere else yet??
[06:16] <jlilly> brianski: hardware as in a raid card or will the mobo due?
[06:16] <brianski> that way you can have two logical disks (that appear to the hardware as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb) made out of 2 of your physical disks each
[06:17] <jlilly> ziesemer_: it was an invitation. There's never too much information out there.
[06:17] <dystopia> help i need to define my thinkpad layout to my hardy heron gnome how do i do this???
[06:17] <brianski> jlilly: the "raid" on motherboards isn't hardware raid. you can get it to work, but it's more complicated and less ideal in terms of performance and data security
[06:17] <ziesemer_> OK, I finally got "X -config" to just run.  Though I'm still looking for something else.
[06:17] <^paradox^> can someone give me a hand? i got a lot of work to do
[06:17] <ziesemer_> At one point, I had a console-type GUI pop-up with a list of monitor choices, etc.
[06:17] <jlilly> yea... I don't know that I'll even be able to run linux on the compy I'll be building. Not sure if there's support for the gfx cards
[06:18] <jlilly> and there's definitely not room enough for a raid card in the form factor case I'll be getting.
[06:18] <jlilly> Suppose I'll burn that bridge when I get there :)
[06:18] <izinucs> ^paradox^, not sure how to do what your asking.. and if nobody here knows you might try #linux
[06:18] <Allan_Rhae> hello all
[06:18] <Allan_Rhae> :D
[06:18] <Allan_Rhae> XD
[06:19] <^paradox^> izinucs: the printer is on my girlfriends PC
[06:19] <^paradox^> hers runs vista home
[06:19] <speener> i hate this
[06:19] <speener> why won't firefox show some sites
[06:19] <Lofde_> jlilly:  i used to use windows xp and  vista only because needed software for them, now that i have ubuntu with virtualbox, i love linux and never would look back at windows..
[06:19] <speener> like i can't load volkswagen.com
[06:19] <brianski> speener: did you just upgrade firefox?
[06:19] <^paradox^> id like to make it a shared printer
[06:19] <ahtmly2k> man there are a lot of junk on my filesystem... i cant tell the difference from useless file and important files...
[06:19] <speener> brianski: yep
[06:20] <brianski> speener: is that when the prob started?
[06:20] <brianski> b/c i'm having no flash joy since the upgrade
[06:20] <Baber_> hi
[06:20] <kindofabuzz> speener, try clearing your cache
[06:20] <izinucs> ^paradox^, arg..  you have to share it first on vista.. then attach the linux machine to it.  like I said .. I don't know  how to do that.  I use networked printers..
[06:20] <speener> brianski: well not really, i've had some problems with other sites...
[06:20] <speener> but not this one
[06:20] <kindofabuzz> speener, clear your cache and delete the cookies you have for the problem sites
[06:20] <^paradox^> someone who does?
[06:20] <brianski> ^paradox^: i suggest hooking the printer up to the ubuntu machine. windows' printer sharing is notoriously bad
[06:21] <brianski> speener: 'ang on, let mecheck
[06:21] <Baber> is this true that linux can recover floppy disks that are unusable in windows?
[06:21] <kindofabuzz> linux can do anything! lol jk, i dunno
[06:21] <jlilly> Lofde_: that's cool. I need windows to play Warhammer ;)
[06:21] <wariskampar> can anyone help me with F-Spot
[06:21] <izinucs> wariskampar, what's up
[06:22] <Allan_Rhae> yeah maybe because it has an advance encryption algorithm
[06:22] <Allan_Rhae> than windows
[06:22] <speener> nice
[06:22] <speener> it worked
[06:22] <speener> thanx kindofabuzz
[06:22] <wariskampar> when try to export to PICASA (within  F-Spot), F-Spot will be terminated
[06:23] <kindofabuzz> speener, np, for all your FF problems and needs, try forums.mozillazine.org, good community there
[06:23] <izinucs> wariskampar, you mean to the web hosting portion of picasa?
[06:23] <^paradox^> fraid i cant hook it up to my machine. she bought it so u know
[06:23] <Baber> how can i recover floppy disks in ubuntu?
[06:23] <wariskampar> Photo>Export>PicasaWeb..
[06:24] <yowshi> grrr something is jamming my sound driver and i cant figure out the problem
[06:24] <yowshi> i was just listening to something playing on vlc i close it and now i cant play anything else
[06:25] <wariskampar> when run F-Spot in Terminal, i got error message
[06:25] <wariskampar> Reloading
[06:25] <wariskampar> item changed
[06:25] <wariskampar> (f-spot:9190): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: GdkPixbufLoader finalized without calling gdk_pixbuf_loader_close() - this is not allowed. You must explicitly end the data stream to the loader before dropping the last reference.
[06:25] <Daft_Punk> yowshi, if i dont use pulseaudio, that happens if i have a browser open like firefox (it locks my audio). also happens with amarok and VirualMachines etc (anything that could use sound)
[06:25] <FloodBot3> wariskampar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:25] <izinucs> wariskampar, you probably have either your user name or password or both incorrect and the connection is terminating.  because it didn't connect fspot bombs.
[06:25] <brianski> speener: yeah i can't load vw.com either
[06:25] <brianski> but in my case all flash is broken
[06:25] <Baber> can any body help me?   how can i recover floppy disks in ubuntu?
[06:25] <yowshi> Daft_Punk: ooook so mind running me through getting pulse audio to replace alsa? i atempted this once before and it led to disaster and me uninstalling every reference to pulse audio
[06:26] <wariskampar> izinucs, what is fspot bomb
[06:26] <ahtmly2k> how do i safely clear cache in /var...?
[06:26] <ahtmly2k> is it possible?
[06:26] <brianski> ahtmly2k: which cache?
[06:26] <dystopia> how can i get my up/down key to work?
[06:26] <izinucs> wariskampar, just an expression.. substitute "fspot errors and closes."
[06:26] <brianski> i'm not psychic but i suspect you mean the package cache,in which case: sudo apt-get clean
[06:26] <speener> hmmm
[06:26] <Daft_Punk> yowshi, all i did was System>Preferences>Sound then change the first 3 on the devices tab to PulseAudio
[06:26] <speener> i'm thinkin of gettin a vw
[06:26] <speener> they're nice
[06:27] <Daft_Punk> !offtopic | speener
[06:27] <dystopia> !help keys thinkpad
[06:27] <wariskampar> izinucs, sorry but I don't understand your last message
[06:27] <dystopia> !stupid shit keyboard
[06:28] <Daft_Punk> !wtf | dystopia
[06:28] <brianski> gnaa ftw
[06:28] <yowshi> Daft_Punk: yeah but pulse audio isnt listed there any more
[06:28] <izinucs> wariskampar, if fspot can't connect to picassa-web it errors and closes
[06:28] <Munchy> O_O
[06:28] <roger> Hey has anyone tried using custom sounds in GDM. Its cutting mine short, any ideas ?
[06:28] <vampur> hello everyone
[06:29] <wariskampar> izinucs, ok..then what
[06:29] <brianski> roger: edit the audio in audacity and add some silence at the end?
[06:29] <brianski> it's a hack, but
[06:29] <midnightRmbler> i just got kicked out of 'off topic'
[06:29] <vampur> could any one help me in connecting the remote servers of websites
[06:29] <yowshi> Daft_Punk: since playing with it when i was using SL buggered my sound system on a repeated basis i went through system package manager and uninstalled every reference to pulse audio i could find and installed everything alsa
[06:29] <roger> hmm. It doesnt seem to matter how long the clip is though. even the short ones get cut off
[06:29] <izinucs> wariskampar, reload fspot.. check your user name and password for picasa web and try again.
[06:29] <brianski> !offtopic | midnightRmbler
[06:30] <speener> kindofabuzz: i have to delete the cache everytime i go to another link
[06:30] <dystopia> yeah ythen help
[06:30] <dystopia> geez
[06:30] <dystopia> all you do is play with some bot
[06:30] <XGas> briansky: instead of sudo apt-get clean, I recommend using: sudo apt-get autoclean, it clears out older version of packages that "isn't available" anymore, so if you want to do a re-install of some components, you don't have to re-download them.
[06:30] <wariskampar> already reload (do you mean restart) few times but problem persist
[06:30] <roger> whats really weird is that after i open konversation and test it in the gdm settings window it doesnt get cut off.
[06:30] <XGas> brainski
[06:30] <Daft_Punk> yowshi, when i use alsa, i notice issues with the sound locking, so if i was playing amarok music, then open youtube, i cant listen to youtube. i changed to pulseaudio (on the suggestion of someone else) and now i can listen to both at the same time, but i dont know why it doesnt work for u :( sorry
[06:30] <XGas> arght, typo.
[06:30] <kindofabuzz> speener, try posting your probelm on forums.mozillazine.org, alot of help there, you may need to create a new profile
[06:30] <dystopia> how the hell can someones keyboard layout be so screwed, that the up key makes a SCREEN SHOT i mean who the hell invented this
[06:30] <izinucs> wariskampar, reload fspot not restart ubuntu
[06:30] <yowshi> Daft_Punk: i didnt ever notice issues with alsa until hardy
[06:31] <yowshi> Daft_Punk: didnt notice issues with npviewer until hardy eithere
[06:31] <Daft_Punk> yowshi, intrepid is out at end of october
[06:31] <wariskampar> that's new for me:) how do I do that
[06:31] <brianski> speener: oh hmm i wonder if i'm in the same boat
[06:31] <yowshi> Daft_Punk: doesnt help me now does it
[06:31] <Daft_Punk> yowshi, sorry?
[06:31] <izinucs> wariskampar,
[06:31] <yowshi> Daft_Punk: spomething is jamming the sound drivers and i cant remember hpw to find out what
[06:31] <XGas> hmm, beta comes out the day after my birthday, awesome
[06:32] <Daft_Punk> yowshi, i had that problem with fiesty and i made a fix, dont know if it pertains to your issue
[06:32] <izinucs> wariskampar, Applications/Graphics/Fspot
[06:32] <yowshi> Daft_Punk: just interested in fixing my sound atm. i have a fix for my flash and npvier problems
[06:32] <izinucs> !audio | yowshi
[06:33] <dystopia> someone please help wih my keyboard layot
[06:33] <dystopia> !layout
[06:33] <dystopia> nonono thats not right
[06:33] <dystopia> !shortcuts
[06:33] <extor> which binaries are the most likely to be backdoored if a box is rooted, besides /bin/bash what are the most popular targets?
[06:33] <dystopia> my multimedia keys well you can my up key my multimedia key
[06:33] <dystopia> !keyboard
[06:34] <extor> which binaries are the most likely to be backdoored if a box is rooted, besides /bin/bash what are the most popular targets?
[06:34] <wariskampar> izinucs, seem like a Restart to me..anyway I just remember I changed my PICASA password yesterday
[06:34] <dystopia> and i thought i was repeatng myself
[06:34] <dystopia> /bin/login
[06:34] <brianski> hmm in my case flash is just straight up broken
[06:34] <dystopia> /usr/sbin/sshd
[06:34] <brianski> maybe if i reinstall the package
[06:34]  * izinucs slaps forhead with palm
[06:34] <dystopia> extor: those for example
[06:34] <wariskampar> izinucs, now how do I revert that change in F-Spot
[06:35] <wariskampar> i can not find any PICASA-related option
[06:35] <acrousey> hi, I'm getting kind of sick of this because I should be doing some homework right now, but I can't share between the computers seeing as how my other computer (the ubuntu one) has all the informatiion on the hard drive
[06:35] <extor> so I should checksum everything in /bin and /sbin---what else? the MBR? kernel?
[06:35] <brianski> hmm well that didn't work.progress
[06:35] <fr500_> acrousey: share how?
[06:35] <cherico> ne one use toonboom
[06:35] <dystopia> yeah rootkit easiest via kernel module
[06:36] <ahtmly2k> HOW can i delete items in /var/cache/apt/archives?
[06:36] <dystopia> you check for hardware trojans too
[06:36] <acrousey> whenever i try to share files between the machines, I get a "original item cannot be found" message from my mac, and the options to fix alias or delete it
[06:36] <dystopia> ahtmly2k: apt-get clean
[06:36] <fr500_> apt-get clean I think ahtmly2k
[06:36] <ahtmly2k> thank u
[06:36] <fr500_> or clean cache something alike
[06:36] <acrousey> fr500_: sorry, pushed enter too early
[06:36] <brianski> extor - try chkrootkit
[06:36] <izinucs> wariskampar, I just looked and can't find one either to reset the password.. you might google for it...
[06:36] <fr500_> acrousey: share with what protocol?
[06:37] <acrousey> smb
[06:37] <wariskampar> ok..will do that
[06:37] <fr500_> using sharing with samba-user share?
[06:37] <extor> brianski, isnt chrootkit just for the most basic and simple rootkits? Just like winders antivirus?
[06:37] <fr500_> ñile right click and share?
[06:37] <brianski> extor: if youhave something more complicated, it's highly unlikely that you (or anyone else) will be able to disinfect
[06:38] <brianski> the only way to recover from a hack is a fresh install from known good media
[06:38] <acrousey> fr400_: what?
[06:38] <brianski> (i hope you have good backups)
[06:38] <extor> brianski, but isn't it worth to try and detect a hack or a rootkit, like to at least try?
[06:38] <fr500_> acrousey: how did you setup samba?
[06:38] <brianski> extor: depends on how much you value your data
[06:39] <dystopia> !layout
[06:39] <dystopia> ok then ill figure it out myself
[06:39] <dystopia> pfff
[06:39] <brianski> if my home machine got hacked i might be satisfied if chkrootkit kicked out some crap, but i would never try that at work
[06:39] <acrousey> on the ubuntu computer, I chose the folders I wanted to share, and did share options
[06:39] <fr500_> I use sftp mostly it's more reliable and works over the internet acrousey but smb works fine
[06:39] <mint> i'm newbie  how tar file on ubuntu server?
[06:39] <fr500_> well I use plain old conf files so can't really help there
[06:39] <izinucs> dystopia, how many times are you going to ask ubottu for "layout".. just scroll up.. it's still there 3 or 4 times..
[06:40] <acrousey> fr500: how can i "fix alias"?
[06:40] <fr500_> acrousey: are you sharing aliases? that won't work
[06:40] <abchirk> mint tar -cvf new.tar <data>
[06:40] <fr500_> aliases for folders?
[06:40] <acrousey> i'm able to share with one of the folders
[06:40] <Lofde_> mint   tar -cvf file.tar path
[06:40] <acrousey> yeah
[06:40] <fallore> can someone help me navigate to transmission so that i can open a .torrent file with it?
[06:40] <fr500_> nah acrousey won't work
[06:40] <acrousey> but I can't connect to the other folder now
[06:40] <dystopia> izinucs: UNTIL it says something useful
[06:41] <acrousey> it did
[06:41] <Lofde_> fallore what do you need done? click .torrent, transmission opens
[06:41] <fr500_> simlinks work sometimes but share the actual folder that is better
[06:41] <izinucs> fallore, Applications/Internet/Transmission
[06:41] <dystopia> for examplr what package preferes/keyboard is int
[06:41] <acrousey> fr500_: how can I share the actual folder?
[06:41] <fallore> izinucs: i'm trying to open it with the firefox download manager thing so i have to navigate to it's app file to select it
[06:41] <dystopia> where does it derive its settings from
[06:41] <izinucs> dystopia, good luck
[06:41] <dystopia> i dont need your negative cricitism be mindful for some change
[06:41] <dystopia> goddamnit
[06:42] <fr500_> right click and share? man 5 smb.conf
[06:42] <izinucs> !language | dystopia
[06:42] <mint> $sudo abchirk Lofde_  thankyou
[06:43] <dystopia> ?
[06:43] <abchirk> !
[06:43] <dystopia> like i said something useful anyone can command a bot
[06:43] <abchirk> something adulty
[06:44] <unop> dystopia, you did use questionable language - best not to.
[06:44] <^paradox^> #linux isnt offering much in the way of help either
[06:44] <dystopia> who cares? ive been asking my question tons of times nobody helps, all iget is some dumbos usuing some commands to a bot, or provide incomplete documentation
[06:45] <abchirk> dystopia if noone knows?
[06:45] <brianski> !bitch and moan | dystopia
[06:45] <unop> dystopia, take a breather, ask again in a while - perhaps someone who knows how to help will respond
[06:45] <dystopia> !language | brianski
[06:45] <^paradox^> ive gotten plenty of help in irc
[06:46] <dystopia> yeah me too but today not and im quitting cigarettes and i am used to my up and down keys now they dont freakin work
[06:46] <izinucs> ^paradox^, perhaps another time of day will draw people that can answer.
[06:46] <^paradox^> just today is lacking :-/
[06:47] <brianski> dystopia: do they work on the console outside of X? (hit alt-f1, login,and then see if theywork)
[06:47] <brianski> it's also possible your shell's history file is nuked
[06:47] <brianski> or are up and down not working in e.g. firefox too?
[06:47] <unop> dystopia, please watch the language - obfuscated swearing is still swearing, please be mindful of the fact women and children frequent this channel
[06:48] <dystopia> the computer doesnt have a console outside of X
[06:48] <brianski> unop: don't be a sexist pig
[06:48] <dystopia> its everywhere in X, in every application
[06:48] <brianski> dystopia: that's odd. have yuo tried a different keyboad?
[06:48] <dystopia> my keyboard layout is set to 102 genric, but i have a laptop
[06:48] <brianski> maybe your keyboard isfailing?
[06:48] <unop> brianski, i'm far from what you just called me - but please, no need for that
[06:48] <wariskampar> f-spot drive me crazy!
[06:48] <brianski> (as is mine which apparentlycan't type space)
[06:48] <dystopia> well i have a laptop my keyboard layout should not be 102 but what should it be
[06:48] <wariskampar> problem persist even after re-installing
[06:49] <dystopia> i simply cannot select my keyboard layout :-(
[06:49] <izinucs> wariskampar, maybe it's easier to change your password on picasa web?
[06:49] <Mooninaut> Can anyone think of a reason why GRUB would try to boot from sda1 after I told it to look in sdb1?
[06:49] <izinucs> wariskampar, back to the one you had before?
[06:49] <dystopia> how do i know? cause i have an intrepid box which does show T61 layout ... but how can i add this layout
[06:50] <wariskampar> it's like beat the purpose
[06:50] <mystery> hi everyone
[06:50] <izinucs> wariskampar, but it'll work until you can figure out the fspot side of things.
[06:50] <wariskampar> of me changing the password in the first place
[06:50] <ahtmly2k> QUESTION, when i checked the freespace from my file browser, it says 2.7gb... but when i tried to install americas army it wont because it says free space only 1997mb... y is dat?
[06:51] <wariskampar> okay...for academic sake, i'll will try that
[06:51] <unop> ahtmly2k, what is the freespace as reported by this command?  df -h
[06:51] <brianski> hahaha wow. i just searched launchpad for a problem i was having, and found th answer
[06:51] <brianski> was about to thank the kind soul and then i realized. i was that kind soul, heh
[06:51] <brianski> i had the same problem months ago, apparently, heh

[06:52] <dystopia> ah bah, fog it, ill just upgrade to intrepid
[06:52] <mystery> Can someone help me get windows media player 10 working on wine. When i try to use wmp i get an error message that says "an internal application error has occurred"
[06:52] <dystopia> stupid nonsense though not showing a layout and yes  ican google i already searched there couldnt find it
[06:53] <ahtmly2k> so?
[06:53] <MaxwIn> www.google.com ^_^
[06:53] <ahtmly2k> whts flooding?
[06:53] <amdpox> ahtmly2k, pasting 5 lines like that
[06:53] <unop> ahtmly2k, not sure - perhaps the game takes into account the fact that files need extracting first and that takes up considerable space?? just a guess
[06:54] <amdpox> use paste.ubuntu.com
[06:54] <dystopia> this kind of stuff really makes one insane
[06:54] <unop> !pm | brianski
[06:54] <brianski> someone should write an irc plugin for intercepting floods and redirecting them to pastebots, and also for optionally expanding the floods of others
[06:54] <ahtmly2k> yes it does... but not that much...
[06:54] <ahtmly2k> im running out of files to delete...
[06:54] <ahtmly2k> guess ill try again later
[06:54] <unop> ahtmly2k, this is generally a very busy channel, flooding really upsets things.
[06:55] <unop> brianski, please stop that now.
[06:55] <ahtmly2k> right... sorry
[06:55] <|thunder> is there an enviroment variable for date ?
[06:55] <amdpox> |thunder, I don't think so
[06:56] <amdpox> I don't have one, anyway
[06:56] <unop> |thunder, not really
[06:56] <wariskampar> izinucs, my old password is too short so PICASA refuse me to use it back
[06:56] <amdpox> $(date) works ;)
[06:56] <brianski> |thunder: no, but you can exec /bin/date just fine: DATE=/bin/date
[06:56] <unop> that wouldn't work
[06:56] <brianski> oops, missed backticks
[06:56] <brianski> DATE=`/bin/date`
[06:57] <amdpox> that's more like it ;)
[06:57] <|thunder> i want to add "mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile test.asf "http://citadelcc-wjim-am.wm.llnwd.net/citadelcc_WJIM_AM?MSWMExt=.asf" to my cron tasks, how can I make test.asf = thedate.asf ?
[06:57] <amdpox> |thunder, I'm guessing crontab lets you use backticks if it lets you use env vars
[06:59] <brianski> crontab uses /bin/sh to parse commands
[06:59] <brianski> so yes, you can use backticks
[06:59] <izinucs> wariskampar, this thread mentions deleting something so fspot will ask for the password again.. but it doesn't really say how to delete it. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=303519
[06:59] <zeno> wth is ~/.gvfs?  Its taking up 28GB
[06:59] <brianski> zeno: gnome virtual file system IIRC. probably thumbnails and such
[06:59] <zeno> brianski: 28GB of thumbnails?
[07:00] <zeno> brianski: how to rm
[07:00] <brianski> actually i think i'm wrong
[07:00] <zeno> some of them
[07:00] <brianski> zeno i think it might put user mountpoints there
[07:00] <brianski> i suggest you read up on gvfs via your favorite google :-)
[07:01] <Mooninaut> Is it possible to shrink / move a RAID1 partition with parted?
[07:01] <brianski> Mooninaut: software or hardware raid?
[07:01] <Mooninaut> Software
[07:02] <brianski> hmm, i dunno then. it can do hardware tho
[07:02] <wariskampar> izinucs, thanks and I will look at it
[07:02] <mib> hi, anyone knows how to upgrade the latest gnumeric version using apt-get?
[07:02] <|thunder> brianski; if I run "DATE=/bin/date" "echo $DATE" just spits out "/bin/date". is this correct ?
[07:02] <brianski> |thunder: sorry that was a typo before
[07:02] <brianski> you want DATE=`/bin/date`
[07:02] <brianski> note the backticks
[07:02] <|thunder> ahh, thanks
[07:03] <izinucs> zeno, there's typically a lot of cached thumbnails from your entire system in ~/.thumbnails
[07:03] <dystopia> why does gnome terminal interfer with screen? suddenly alt+1 doesn't go to window 1 in screen anymore.. :-/
[07:04] <zeno> izinucs: just 6MB worth, not 28GB
[07:05] <izinucs> zeno, makes you wonder why all those thumbnails are even generated let alone stay there even after the initial file  is deleted.
[07:05] <[Solaris]> erm how do i see what raid tools are available in ubuntu?
[07:05] <izinucs> !raid | [Solaris]
[07:06] <kevin_> someone wanna give my problem a shot? -- I've been trying to play with xorg.config to get my synaptic pad working correctly -- works fine as a mouse but it's scroll does not work.
[07:06] <[Solaris]> thanks hopefully there are some diagnostic tools in there
[07:06] <brianski> dystopia: i think it uses ctrl+num to switch tabs now
[07:08] <[Solaris]> izinucs that doesn't tell me what tools are available in ubuntu those just tells me how to install a raid which i don't want
[07:08] <gluonman> For some reason, my installation of Windows XP on my VirtualBox keeps restarting halfway through. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04. Any ideas?
[07:09] <izinucs> [Solaris], not sure if anyone is around .. but .. the server people might have more experience with raid.. check out #ubuntu-server
[07:09] <dystopia> brianski: not here..
[07:11] <dystopia> hmm odd
[07:11] <gluonman> Does anyone know why a Windows XP installation would restart in VirtualBox halfway through installation?
[07:12] <extor> yeah its fucked
[07:12] <nubfilter> some kind of fault
[07:12] <dystopia> ou need to disable hvm
[07:12] <Cyranix0r> winxp restarts during installation even outside virtualbox
[07:12] <dystopia> you cannot use hvm during winxp install
[07:12] <Cyranix0r> unless you mean besides the normal restart after it copies install files
[07:12] <gluonman> Cyranix0r, It happens before the installation is finished.
[07:12] <gluonman> dystopia, hvm?
[07:13] <Cyranix0r> hmm. no idea then gluonman
[07:13] <dystopia> kvm_intel or kvm_amd
[07:13] <[Solaris]> well here is a non-server/raid quest how do i search for packages
[07:13] <Cyranix0r> I'm not virtualbox master :/
[07:13] <gluonman> Cyranix0r, I would be asking these questions in #vbox if those people would actually talk.
[07:13] <izinucs> [Solaris], from the command line?
[07:13] <gluonman> dystopia, what's hvm?
[07:13] <[Solaris]> for virtualbox help go to #vbox :P
[07:13] <dystopia> hardware vm
[07:14] <[Solaris]> izinucs from cmd line or gui
[07:14] <Cyranix0r> gluonman: yep, know the feeling. Such is the way of the internet :/
[07:14] <ce_sakit> hy
[07:14] <[Solaris]> want to search for raid packages
[07:14] <[Solaris]> and tools
[07:14] <gluonman> dystopia, what's wrong with installing winxp with virtualbox? I've done it on two other computers (only because my CS class requires the use of Microsoft Visual Studio).
[07:15] <izinucs> [Solaris], gui is System/Admin/synaptic package manager .. search for raid.. command line I think is sudo apt-cache -search raid
[07:15] <phantomcircuit> gluonman, seriously they do? that's ridiculous
[07:15] <dystopia> gluonman: nothing is wrong with it except you need to temp disable HVM
[07:15] <phantomcircuit> and im running virtualbox right now with windows xp
[07:15] <gluonman> phantomcircuit, what are you referring to?
[07:15] <gluonman> dystopia, how do I do that?
[07:15] <phantomcircuit> requiring visual studio
[07:16] <Lofde_> this upgrade to 8.10 is taking forever from 8.04, the repos are so slow :(
[07:16] <phantomcircuit> why do you need to disable HVM ?
[07:16] <gluonman> phantomcircuit, well, for the purposes of my class it kind of makes sense.
[07:16] <gluonman> dystopia, I didn't worry about hvm the last time I did successful winxp installations.
[07:17] <phantomcircuit> dystopia, i installed windows xp fine with intel hardware virtualization turned on
[07:17] <phantomcircuit> in fact it's running right now
[07:17] <phantomcircuit> gluonman, you aren't using the one found in the ubuntu repository are you?
[07:17] <phantomcircuit> OSE ?
[07:17] <izinucs> [Solaris], terminal is ... sudo apt-cache search raid
[07:17] <gluonman> phantomcircuit, I'm using the vbox from the .deb package one can find online.
[07:17] <jim_p> hello
[07:18] <phantomcircuit> gluonman, 2.0.2 right
[07:18] <[Solaris]> thanks for the help
[07:18] <dystopia> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM#Create%20VMs%20running%20other%20operating%20systems:%20virt-install
[07:18] <gluonman> phantomcircuit, yes.
[07:18] <[Solaris]> just gotta figure out which package i need or want to try
[07:18] <dystopia> in 2.0.2 its fixed..
[07:18] <dystopia> :P
[07:18] <bullgard4> What does "subpixel placement" mean as in "No. Antialiasing is an ugly self-defeating kludge, as is subpixel placement."? Does it mean the same as 'Subpixel smoothing' in System > Preference > Appearance > Fonts > Subpixel smooting (LCDs)?
[07:19] <wariskampar> izinucs, my guess about the password is right
[07:19] <amdpox> bullgard4, yes
[07:19] <amdpox> and I disagree with that statement :P
[07:19] <wariskampar> izinucs, i confirm it with f-spot --debug command
[07:19] <izinucs> [Solaris], using apt I see "raidutils" as one of the packages...
[07:19] <gluonman> dystopia, phantomcircuit, what I don't understand is that this same winxp live CD that worked perfectly in virtualbox on two of my Ubuntu 8.04 machines doesn't completely install on the one in question (also vbox on Ubuntu 8.04).
[07:19] <bullgard4> amdpox: Thank you for commetning.
[07:20] <Baber> how can i fix floppy disks in linux?
[07:20] <[Solaris]> izinucs so i would apt-get install raidutils
[07:20] <bullgard4> Baber: Be more specific in your question.
[07:20] <izinucs> wariskampar, if you find the solution you should post it on the forums
[07:20] <jim_p> does anybody know of an app (or terminal command) that can show me the keyboard layout?
[07:20] <gluonman> dystopia, phantomcircuit, the installation gets to a certain point (after setting the time zone, etc.) where it says I have 34 minutes left of installation, and virtualbox just resets it and starts again from a prior point.
[07:21] <Baber> bullgard4: why?
[07:21] <le_mischa> jim_p: less /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:21] <le_mischa> ;-)
[07:21] <izinucs> [Solaris], with sudo in front of that line.. sure.  Then you could probably "man raidutils" to look  at the man page.
[07:21] <phantomcircuit> dystopia, the section of that page you linked to is talking about using a python script, not virtualbox
[07:21] <jim_p> le_mischa: yea but it wont change when i swith layouts :P
[07:21] <Adman65> I have this werid problem with skype
[07:21] <Adman65> when iever i start skype
[07:22] <Adman65> it brakes me sound setup
[07:22] <Adman65> if i restart it works
[07:22] <Adman65> start skype, nothing
[07:22] <FloodBot3> Adman65: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:22] <Baber> bullgard4: my question is how can i recover floppy disks that can't in win?
[07:22] <le_mischa> there's a Gnome-thing, too ;)
[07:22] <le_mischa> and you can edit xorg.conf ;)
[07:22] <gluonman> dystopia, I don't think that website really pertains to my issues.
[07:22] <dystopia> phantomcircuit: but its referring to qemu library which virtualbox also uses
[07:22] <phantomcircuit> dystopia, in fact the kvm module talked about in that article explicitly is NOT VirtualBox
[07:22] <gluonman> dystopia, I need virtualbox, not python.
[07:22] <wariskampar> izinucs, i'm still looking for the solution
[07:23] <gluonman> dystopia, well, how would we apply that in terms of virtualbox?
[07:23] <wariskampar> still need to reset my password and somebody say about key ring
[07:23] <jim_p> le_mischa: that gnome thing is what i want to throw away! and my xorg.conf is properly done for keyboard switching
[07:23] <le_mischa> jim_p: system => pref => keyboard
[07:23] <wariskampar> izinucs, do you know how to change the key ring
[07:23] <le_mischa> ;D
[07:23] <wariskampar> in Ubuntu hardy Heron
[07:23] <le_mischa> do so ;)
[07:24] <[Solaris]> erm no man entry for raidutils... how to get package discription with apt?
[07:24] <phantomcircuit> gluonman, try disabling hardware virtualization
[07:24] <sd32> !suse
[07:24] <phantomcircuit> it's worth a shot
[07:24] <gluonman> phantomcircuit, how is that done?
[07:24] <phantomcircuit> open the list of virtual machines
[07:24] <phantomcircuit> edit the xp one
[07:24] <gluonman> phantomcircuit, alright.
[07:24] <jim_p> le_mischa: you dont get me! i know how to change layouts, i do so with alt+shift. i just want a display for this. and not that gnome applet thing!
[07:24] <gluonman> phantomcircuit, Let me give it a whack.
[07:25] <[Solaris]> err sorry I clicked the wrong button
[07:25] <phantomcircuit> it's listed as VT-x and AM-x or something like that
[07:25] <le_mischa> jim_p: there's a panel-add on ;)
[07:25] <[Solaris]> how do i get package discription via apt?
[07:25] <phantomcircuit> it doesn't actually say hardware virtualization
[07:25] <gluonman> ok
[07:26] <viverant> anyone else here have issues with mic input in hardy after an update within the past few weeks?
[07:26] <bullgard4> Baber: I do not understand you phrase "floppy disks that can't in win". Pleasse use standard English.
[07:26] <izinucs> wariskampar, I was just looking for that answer... something about gnome-keyring-manager..
[07:26] <marli> hi
[07:26] <viverant> via 82xx chipset here
[07:26] <bullgard4> Baber: I do not understand your phrase "floppy disks that can't in win". Pleasse use standard English.
[07:26] <marli> how do i alt-tab from a fullscreen game?
[07:26] <izinucs> Is there a way to manage the keyring?
[07:26] <jim_p> le_mischa: that panel addon! i want to remove it! i want only tray and main menu on my panel
[07:26] <PrinZ> hallo
[07:26] <phantomcircuit> i suspect he means he cant read from his floppy disc in windows
[07:27] <gluonman> phantomcircuit, where in the settings do I find that option?
[07:27] <phantomcircuit> id tell you but that box has decided to stop working for me :(
[07:27] <marli> is there a skb shortcut to minimise screens
[07:27] <marli> *KB
[07:28] <phantomcircuit> KB?
[07:28] <gluonman> I can't seem to find the hardware virtualization.
[07:28] <Baber> bullgard4: some floppy disks have badsector and can't read in windows how can repair these floppy disks in linux?
[07:28] <marli> KeyBoard
[07:28] <wariskampar> izinucs, i'm looking at Application>Accessories>Password and Encryption
[07:28] <gluonman> dystopia, where do I find the hardware virtualization option that I can disable in the virtual machine settings?
[07:28] <wariskampar> izinucs, but do not find related password
[07:28] <phantomcircuit> Alt+F9
[07:29] <gluonman> I'll see what that does.
[07:29] <marli> thanks
[07:29] <gluonman> Oh. That wasn't for me.
[07:29] <jim_p> question #2: how can i set different localizations for 2 different users? i want userA to have everything in greek and userB to have everything in german
[07:29] <CaptJager> is there any other choice than wine to run windows programs
[07:29] <bullgard4> Baber: I do not know the answer to your question. Please repeat your question in this channel without asking me in particular.
[07:29] <amdpox> CaptJager, you could emulate windows with VMWare  or Virtualbox
[07:30] <kevin_> is someone willing to try and help me with my mouse's scroll ability via xorg.conf ?
[07:30] <CaptJager> trying to run just one program and hit hangs on install with wine trying to use filemaker
[07:30] <Baber> how can fix floppy disk errors in linux?
[07:30] <gluonman> amdpox, CaptJager, VMWare and VirtualBox aren't just emulations of Windows. They actually boot the OS.
[07:31] <CaptJager> they boot windows....ewww
[07:31] <jim_p> Baber: i dont think this is possible. how do you do it, if you do it, in windows?
[07:31] <amdpox> gluonman, that's what an emulator does
[07:31] <CaptJager> just want to run filemaker that is the only software I need from windows
[07:31] <amdpox> wine is a replacement API, not an emulator
[07:31] <jim_p> CaptJager: what does filemaker do?
[07:31] <gluonman> amdpox, well, it's a bit different from emulation as it is actually Windows, where wine isn't actually windows.
[07:31] <jim_p> CaptJager: there may be a linux equivalent
[07:32] <amdpox> ...I'm quite sure emulation means running the original OS in a virtual machine
[07:32] <amdpox> I may be wrong
[07:32] <gluonman> amdpox, unless this is a matter of word-play and we have the same idea but with different words.
[07:32] <CaptJager> I think glum is one but not as good as filemaker
[07:32] <jim_p> amdpox: thats what emulation is
[07:32] <Baber> jim_p: this function is only in linux
[07:32] <kevin_> Can someone help me with my synaptic touchpad's scroll ability via xorg.conf ? I have the settings as correct as I know them to be....I've tried everything I can think of..still doesn't work.
[07:32] <amdpox> CaptJager, check appdb.winehq.org, if they haven't got it working there, odds are you'll have to use an alternative or boot windows inside virtualbox
[07:33] <RedWolfLH> does anyone have any knowledge about dualheads in the latest ubuntu?
[07:33] <CaptJager> checking there
[07:33] <CaptJager> thanks
[07:33] <CaptJager> brb
[07:33] <jim_p> Baber: if you want to retrieve data from it, use a program like imagerescue
[07:33] <gluonman> CaptJager, there's also dual-booting if not virtual machines or wine.
[07:33] <scorpion> ciao
[07:33] <darkbishop> !virtualbox
[07:33] <scorpion> !list
[07:34] <marli> right that didnt work!!!
[07:34] <gluonman> dystopia, still there? I had a question for you.
[07:34] <marli> alt f9 does not work on fullscreen
[07:34] <Baber> jim_p: i don't have any data on it i want only repair bad blocks
[07:34] <gluonman> dystopia, about disabling HMV. I don't know where to find it.
[07:34] <marli> how do i change from full screen without quiting
[07:34] <darkbishop> do virtualbox is batter then wine?
[07:35] <wariskampar> izinucs, problem solved
[07:35] <kevin_> since it seems noone is available -- perhaps a simple question: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf   --  a boolean 0 = DISABLE and boolean 1 = ENABLE correct?
[07:35] <gluonman> darkbishop, well, virtualbox and wine don't do the same thing.
[07:35] <izinucs> wariskampar, I just used "locate" and found /usr/lib/f-spot/gnome-keyring-sharp.dll...  if you  delete that it might work.. actually I'd just change the name so you can change it back if it produces bad results.
[07:35] <dystopia> i dont know
[07:35] <marli> anyone?
[07:35] <jim_p> sorry then Baber :( i dont know
[07:35] <gluonman> dystopia, I'll figure it out, then.
[07:35] <|thunder> could an AWK wiz please help me convert something like "Fri Sep 26 02:04:05 EDT 2008" into "2008_Sep_26_Fri". deliniated by spaces? please  :)
[07:35] <darkbishop> do virtualbox similier to vmware in windows?
[07:35] <dystopia> gluonman: lsmod | grep kvm
[07:35] <marli> and why does warzone 2100 crash?
[07:35] <dystopia> rmmod these
[07:36] <kevin_> marli, usually the F11 key is the toggle key for fullscreen mod on most apps
[07:36] <wariskampar> izinucs, actually I just change the password in Application> Acc>Password...
[07:36] <kevin_> marli, mode*
[07:36] <gluonman> darkbishop, yes, virtualbox and vmware are both programs that boot virtual machines.
[07:36] <|thunder> darkbishop; yes it "is"
[07:36] <jim_p> question #2: how can i set different localizations for 2 different users? i want userA to have everything in greek and userB to have everything in german
[07:36] <marli> ok will try that
[07:36] <milligan> Ok, someone explain this to me. I'm trying to install ubuntu. The cd loads and the installer starts. however, when it gets to the mounting of a cd-rom, it says no cdrom is detected. How can that be ?
[07:36] <gluonman> dystopia, let me try that.
[07:36] <izinucs> Why would f-spot use a .exe in /usr/lib/f-spot    ?  the file is f-spot.exe
[07:36] <wariskampar> izinucs, it was there all this will, only I'm too blind to see :)
[07:36] <izinucs> wariskampar, was you're old one listed there?
[07:37] <gluonman> dystopia, it didn't give me any output.
[07:37] <dystopia> hmm ok
[07:37] <wariskampar> izinucs, yup! and once changed to new one, problem solved
[07:37] <ushimitsudoki> jim_p: You can select the language from the login screen. Will that work?  You can try burning the disk again but at a slower speed (4X or 6X).
[07:37] <zeno> how do i tell what is in ~/.gvfs?  ls -la says nothing
[07:37] <wariskampar> you guide me through...
[07:38] <zeno> but occupies 28GB
[07:38] <wariskampar> THANKS again!!
[07:38] <jim_p> ushimitsudoki: and they have to select on each login?!?! too much for them! they even consider hard to use usenames and passes
[07:38] <izinucs> wariskampar, np.. I learned something too.. pass it along.
[07:39] <kevin_> Can someone help me with my synaptic touchpad's scroll ability via xorg.conf ? I have the settings as correct as I know them to be.
[07:39] <amdpox> zeno, I believe it's to do with a mounted ntfs-\fuse partition
[07:40] <milligan> kevin_, alright. I'll give it a shot.
[07:40] <RedWolfLH> Okay, so I just got back from my deployment.  I left, i had dapper drake.  Now that i've upgraded to 8.04 my dualscreens arent working quite right.  Seems although I have separate X running on the other screen I am unable to drag applications between screens and still have them run independently...any suggetsions?
[07:40] <amdpox> actually, mine is the same size as my root ext3 partition
[07:40] <amdpox> zeno, basically, it's not real space being taken out of your drive: it's a mountpoint
[07:40] <kevin_> milligan, great -- here are my current settings -- which SHOULD work to get my touchpad's scroll funtion to work correctly, but it does'nt. http://rafb.net/p/Z7xHXl40.html
[07:41] <ushimitsudoki> jim_p: hmm, I don't know if the language selection is saved on a per-user basis, I haven't looked at that because I don't have multiple users. I know you can select the language as "this session only" or "make default", and the login screen will come up in the appropriate language -- which obviously appears before the user logs in. You might have to google or experiment there
[07:42] <zeno> amdpox: thanks
[07:43] <jim_p> ushimitsudoki: what i really want, is the one user's menus, icons, dialogs and stuff to be in german, while the other's to be in greek. Just the enviroment i mean. Anyway, i found something at a wiki so far. thanks
[07:43] <viverant> RedWolfLH: Are you using compiz with your dual screens?
[07:43] <blue-frog> jim_p: where please?
[07:43] <RedWolfLH> viverant, no sir I don't believe so.
[07:44] <RedWolfLH> I dont like all the fancy screen turning crap lol
[07:44] <jim_p> blue-frog: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml
[07:44] <blue-frog> ty
[07:44] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: you can not drag windows between separate X screens
[07:44] <jim_p> blue-frog: chapter 3
[07:44] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: You must use Twinview (nvidia) or Xinerama (with prohibits composting)
[07:44] <RedWolfLH> ah maybe I need to re-neable Twinview?
[07:45] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: I don't know the ATI side if there is an equivalent to Twinview if you are on ATI
[07:45] <PrinZ> hello
[07:45] <RedWolfLH> nah I'm using nvidia
[07:45]  * delcoyote hi
[07:45] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: Yes, then you want TwinView for dualmonitor action! :)
[07:45] <PrinZ> im usin' knoppix at school^^
[07:45] <viverant> RedWolfLH: Okay sorry I had that but it was because I had problems with twinview and compiz and had to tweak some stuff to be able to use both ides of the side of the cube... I like the fancy stuff :)
[07:45] <PrinZ> is there someone?
[07:46] <RedWolfLH> I will reboot x and let you know how things work for me :)
[07:46] <RedWolfLH> brb
[07:46] <PrinZ> germans?!huhu?
[07:46] <ushimitsudoki> PrinZ: This channel is for ubuntu support. Maybe you want #knoppix?
[07:47] <kevin_> milligan, any luck?
[07:47] <PrinZ> oh no^^, im in school
[07:47] <PrinZ> i thought it was just a chat
[07:47] <PrinZ> im sorry^^
[07:47] <utnubudnai> hey there ,I want to compile a module,but it says "linux/init.h not found"?why?
[07:48] <milligan> kevin_, need to fry the cd first
[07:48] <jerome187> what is the ubuntu-desktop package? and what will happen if I remove it?
[07:48] <milligan> running it at 16x with verification now
[07:48] <jim_p> utnubudnai: do you have linux-headers instaled?
[07:48] <rmmm> hi
[07:48] <kevin_> milligan, sure
[07:48] <Gokee2> So with compiz there is some way to make a window scale smaller...  But I forget what plugin it is.  Anyone here know?  Thanks
[07:48] <kevin_> Can someone help me with my synaptic touchpad's scroll ability via xorg.conf ? I have the settings as correct as I know them to be.
[07:48] <rmmm> how to increase secuiryt of my desktop system?
[07:49] <HeMan> rmmm: do you have low security?
[07:49] <amdpox> rmmm, unplug all network cables and lock in lead box on bottom of ocean
[07:49] <RedWolfLH> okay.. we have a problem now lol
[07:49] <ushimitsudoki> Gokee2: Scale?
[07:49] <jim_p> jerome187: the ubuntu-desktop is a package-shortcut that tells apt: "install gnome, gnome games, totem, etc". you can safely remove it
[07:49] <fallore> i plugged in a USB drive and it's not being recognized. is there anything i can or should do? it's a U3 drive if that changes anything, but it's worked before
[07:49] <reinis__> why when I open firefox I dont see the blue bar on the top with that minimize, maximize, close button??? there was this bar, but know when i start FF thers no more :(
[07:49] <rmmm> amdpox: have to use internet
[07:49] <utnubudnai> jim_p, hey,I have compiled my kernel,so ...I think I have installed it
[07:49] <amdpox> hehe
[07:50] <RedWolfLH> Twinview turned it into 1 giant screen..which I didnt really like.  So I changed ti back to separate sessions now I cannot move my mouse between desktops
[07:50] <rmmm> HeMan: yes, its a default ubuntu desktop
[07:50] <jim_p> !linux.h
[07:50] <gluonman> reinis_ are you using emerald?
[07:50] <amdpox> rmmm, well, a firewall would probably help
[07:50] <HeMan> rmmm: the ubuntu desktop is usually pretty secure
[07:50] <amdpox> !firewall
[07:50] <Gokee2> ushimitsudoki, Nope I found it though I was thinking of shelf.  Thanks!
[07:50] <utnubudnai> jim_p, actually i don't quite understand what a kernel-header does?thanks
[07:50] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: Was there a specific issue with 1 giant screen that didn't work for you?
[07:50] <MeVsTheVoices> Use iptables, massive headache they can be, but well worth it if porn be your fave
[07:51] <HeMan> rmmm: what threat do you see?
[07:51] <rmmm> amdpox: for example, to prevent a bug in firefox from allowing aritrary code and i.e. reading my documents
[07:51] <utnubudnai> and how to check if i have installed kernel-headers?
[07:51] <rmmm> HeMan: ^
[07:51] <jim_p> utnubudnai: it provides libraries needed to make other modules and stuff that is directly related to the kernel, like alsa
[07:51] <RedWolfLH> well I like to be able to run wow on 1 desktop and chat and browse the net on the other
[07:51] <amdpox> rmmm, don't use firefox
[07:51] <RedWolfLH> nwo i cannot even access the other desktop
[07:51] <amdpox> there's not many vulnerabilities like that, and they get fixed very fast
[07:51] <rmmm> amdpox: well, or any other regular browser
[07:51] <Finnish> How can I open stuffit-packed packets?
[07:52] <rmmm> I was thinking about apparmor
[07:52] <amdpox> rmmm, encrypt your documents?
[07:52] <jim_p> Finnish: what extention do they have?
[07:52] <utnubudnai> jim_p, I compiled the kernel in ubuntu and made to deb files,one of them is linux-image,and the other one is linux-header!I installed them both
[07:52] <RedWolfLH> also, it apperas that everything is being duplicated on the screen on the bottom where you can select desktop.  Even though it only shows up on 1 screen I can see the window summary on the other one
[07:52] <rmmm> amdpox: yes, I use LUKS partition
[07:52] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: Ah, I see. Unless you window WoW, you're right TwinView isn't going to work. As for not being able to access the second desktop - that's because you probably have it cloned
[07:52] <viverant> Gokee2:  Do you mean make the window smaller when using the scale plugin itself or?
[07:52] <RedWolfLH> how do I turn the clone shit off,  lol
[07:53] <rmmm> anyone uses apparmored?
[07:53] <rmmm> apparmor
[07:53] <Finnish> jim_p: .sit
[07:53] <viverant> shoot already answered nevermind :)
[07:53] <ushimitsudoki> RedWolfLH: Just use nvidia-settings to set up the second one as a separate X screen. I forget the xorg.conf way to do it :)
[07:53] <jim_p> Finnish: i think .sit files are related to some mac compression
[07:53] <RedWolfLH> i did they're both "separate xscreen"
[07:54] <Finnish> Ubuntu folder shows it's Stuffit
[07:54] <RedWolfLH> i'll reboot X again
[07:54] <genii> sit - Stuffit , yes. Proprietary
[07:54] <kevin_> Can someone help me with my synaptic touchpad's scroll ability via xorg.conf ? I have the settings as correct as I know them to be.
