[04:05] <ubuntunub> going in Terminal and entering "pidgin &" gives me a different message every time, and its the only way to make pidgin work (sort of)
[04:05] <gp|kfall> k still have problems with ubuntu - can't get Envy to install following any directions on website and one of the websites leads me to no where -_- a page that no longer exists...
[04:05] <Ashex> the os is running on a 5400rpm laptop drive, so I want to see if there are ways to be able to move things away from the disk and reduce i/o
[04:06] <mneptok> nabiko: df -h will tell you mount points
[04:06] <nabiko> mneptok, thank you.
[04:06] <Kai> ubuntunud: could be that the task is being performed but blocked by multiple firefoxs' open
[04:06] <Kai> Restart you computer or end the task specifically and it should restore
[04:06] <StephenF> Anyone have experience recovering large deleted files from external hardrives? I deleted a 30GB file from my external, but never emptied the trash. The drive still shows that space as being used but I cannot find the file....
[04:06] <bazhang> Ashex, how many extensions for ff; also get adblock plus and flashblock
[04:06] <m11> Gr33n3gg: tnx i check
[04:07] <cyban> ubuntunub, reinstall it
[04:07] <rockyrock> Gr33n3gg: i found a package called kdelibs with size about 90KB. Is this the KDE libs to run kaffeine?
[04:07] <rs> hi
[04:07] <ubuntunub> cyban: already tried
[04:07] <bazhang> rockyrock, synaptic will handle it
[04:07] <bazhang> rockyrock, you dont do it individually like that
[04:07] <ubuntunub> the msg Terminal gives me is basically: "[1] XXXX"
[04:08] <ubuntunub> where XXXX = some random number
[04:08] <Kai> Can someone help me install ALSA?
[04:08] <Mr_Fixit> can anyone tell me the desktop manager at the very bottom of this page?? http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/items/window_managers/index.php?lang=
[04:08] <cyban> StephenF, lots of programs to "Undelete" files as long as you havent put a lot of data back onto the drive (Data never deletes its only ever gone if over written)
[04:08] <rockyrock> bazhang: yeah i found it in synaptic
[04:08] <bharani> how to take the image of the current OS(with softwares and settings made)....to install later
[04:08] <Jesus> .
[04:08] <lakalaka> hi.. im a linux newbie.. there is a app for mac that i use that clean ups everything.. cron scripts, system permissions, system cache, launch services, logs, etc, etc.. yasu is the name of this app.. is there something similar in linux?
[04:09] <gp|kfall> Why am I getting Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: build-essential when trying to install Envy.
[04:09] <StephenF> cyban havent written to the drive since I deleted it, I've tried photorec and a few others but this is a special file type that I dont think they can find
[04:09] <Ashex> bazhang, I already have those, I've got ten extensions loaded into firefox currently
[04:09] <ubuntunub> im pretty close to reinstalling ubuntu just to fix Pidgin lol
[04:09] <bazhang> Ashex, then disable some of them, test which are the memory hogs
[04:09] <Mr_Fixit> gp|kfall, is all you build essential packages installed from the repositories?
[04:09] <Ashex> it's not just firefox though, it's just general responsiveness, file browser has a minimal delay to it
[04:09] <bazhang> Ashex, compiz on or off
[04:10] <bharani> how to take the image of the current OS(with softwares and settings made)....to install later
[04:10] <gp|kfall> Mr_Fixit not sure, how would i find that out or install those?
[04:10] <Ashex> bazhang, it's off
[04:10] <tcleval> lakalaka when logs cant get too long by default if u are worring about that
[04:10] <clayg> where is the trsh folder located/
[04:10] <unop> gp|kfall,  sudo aptitude install build-essential
[04:10] <bazhang> Ashex, any third party repos
[04:10] <Ashex> bazhang, don't have any extra utils running the background either
[04:10] <bazhang> Ashex, please pastebin out put of top

[04:10] <Athlonea> Hello
[04:10] <Mr_Fixit> gp|kfall, in system>administration>synamptics package manager search for the build-essential packages and install them..
[04:11] <Gr33n3gg> sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:11] <gp|kfall> unop: I get Couldn't find any packages whose name or descript. matched "build-essential"
[04:11] <sullyva86> How come when i add a bottom panel none of the apps minimize to it?
[04:11] <Athlonea> I am new to Ubuntu
[04:11] <Mr_Fixit> or do sudo apt get
[04:11] <tcleval> lakalaka about system permission, take care what u change permission, I advice u to read some linux tutorial before try to change system permissions.. anyway the commands are chown/chmod
[04:11] <Gr33n3gg> gp|kfall: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:11] <WhiteyWulfy> does somneone have a link for an ubuntu 6.1 vdistro to get the libpq-dev package?
[04:11] <Ashex> bazhang, http://pastebin.ca/1206341
[04:11] <unop> gp|kfall, doesn't look like you have the necessary repositories enabled - try enabling them all and try this again.
[04:11] <Mr_Fixit> gp go to a terminal and type sudo aptitude install build-essentia
[04:11] <Mr_Fixit> *gp
[04:11] <Mr_Fixit> ffs..
[04:12] <Mr_Fixit> gp|kfall,
[04:12] <FloodBot2> Mr_Fixit: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:12] <lakalaka> tcleval: i see.. i didnt get the logs part
[04:12] <Mr_Fixit> yea thanks flood bot..
[04:12] <Ashex> fyi. miro.real is more like 2%, that was a spike
[04:12] <gp|kfall> yeah i did, i got Couldn't find package build-essential. I ned to have necessary repositories
[04:12] <unop> Mr_Fixit, well, stop using enter as punctuation :) and floodbot won't bother you
[04:12] <Athlonea> I am new to Ubuntu, how do I install Perl modules on it?
[04:12] <Gr33n3gg> gp|kfall: open up a terminal window and type this in: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:12] <bazhang> Ashex, looks like miro is the culprit; you may want to use youtube-dl instead
[04:12] <mneptok> gp|kfall: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:13] <Ashex> bazhang, I use it for grabbing hd trailers
[04:13] <tcleval> lakalaka logs cant get to long by default
[04:13] <Mr_Fixit> anyone wanna share what desktop manager is on the bottom of this page?
[04:13] <Mr_Fixit> sudo aptitude install build-essentia
[04:13] <burn__> hi guys, my vlc has no sound when i play .flv files....
[04:13] <Ashex> bazhang, I use it for download videos from rss
[04:13] <tcleval> lakalaka if are running a desktop u dont need to worry about logs
[04:13] <Mr_Fixit> oops.. damn beer..
[04:13] <unop> gp|kfall, check that the repos are enabled at.  System > administration > software sources
[04:13] <skylar> how to unmount?
[04:13] <bazhang> Ashex, okay; but it is very memory leaky and buggy imo
[04:13] <Athlonea> How do I install perl modules on Ubuntu?
[04:13] <Ashex> bazhang, gotcha
[04:13] <Mr_Fixit> http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/items/window_managers/index.php?lang= <--- desktop manager there?
[04:13] <lakalaka> tcleval: nah im using a lap
[04:13] <unop> Athleone, what kind of perl modules?
[04:14] <Gr33n3gg> skylar: umount /dev/mydevice
[04:14] <mneptok> Athlonea: if they are not packaged, then via CPAN
[04:14] <tcleval> lakalaka samething.. .dont worry now.
[04:14] <Ashex> bazhang, any other ideas?
[04:14] <Doonz> xbmc was release for linux mac and windows the other day
[04:14] <lakalaka> tcleval: you mean specifically in linux logs dont get so long?
[04:14] <zimbres> why build-essential is not included in ubuntu, since it is essential? You can not compile a simple c code without this package.
[04:14] <Athlonea> Yeah, but how do I install it from CPAN?
[04:14] <mystery_> does anyone know how to get a video wallpaper
[04:14] <kevin__> okay so i know this isn't an "ubuntu" question -- but you guys are a lot more intellegent than the so-called "XP-pros"(if such a person exists)..anyways... does anyone know if I can use the same XP cdkey for more than one installation (i.e. comp#1 is running same xp copy as comp#2)?
[04:14] <unop> Athleone,  sudo cpan Module::Name
[04:14] <lakalaka> tcleval: but still.. is there a way to reset or not?
[04:14] <tcleval> lakalaka yes
[04:14] <bazhang> kevin__, wrong channel
[04:14] <Gr33n3gg> kevin_: this is an Ubuntu channel
[04:14] <orifice> not everyone wants to BUILD
[04:14] <bazhang> kevin__, ##windows
[04:15] <skylar> Gr33n3gg, I have a nfs system mounted on the Desktop
[04:15] <lakalaka> tcleval: and? is hard?
[04:15] <unop> kevin__, not related to ubuntu
[04:15] <Mr_Fixit> zimbres, most users won't ever need to do that.. but it should be standard..
[04:15] <Gr33n3gg> skylar: What device would you like to unmount?
[04:15] <bazhang> Ashex, any odd repos in there? did you stop miro?
[04:15] <skylar> it is on my other computer nfs
[04:15] <Gr33n3gg> You could also right click on it and go Unmount or Safely Remove (I don't remember, I'm a Slack user)
[04:15] <Ashex> bazhang, yes
[04:16] <bazhang> Ashex, which repos
[04:16] <tcleval> lakalaka just delete the files on /var/log using : sudo rm /var/log/*  ... but as i said, u dont need to do that coz u arent running a server,
[04:16] <WhiteyWulfy> ?
[04:16] <WhiteyWulfy> :|
[04:16] <WhiteyWulfy> blah
[04:16] <Ashex> bazhang, I have a few repos, mozilla ppa, boxee, dropbox
[04:16] <tcleval> lakalaka about cron scripts, u can edit then with : crontab -e
[04:16] <bazhang> Ashex, please pastebin sources.list
[04:17] <tcleval> lakalaka u should read the manual: man crontab
[04:17] <tcleval> lakalaka linux/unix is easy once u get used to manuals
[04:17] <Ashex> bazhang, http://pastebin.ca/1206344
[04:17] <skylar> Gr33n3gg, okay, I got it, thanks for thee hel
[04:18] <Gr33n3gg> skylar: np
[04:18] <bazhang> Ashex, how did you install flash for that
[04:18] <bazhang> Ashex, also there are likely conflicts with all those extra repos
[04:18] <Ashex> bazhang, downloaded it manually
[04:18] <tcleval> lakalaka everytime u reboot that log files ll be overwritten.. so you shouldnt care about them most of the time... as u are using a laptop, u ll reboot once in a while, and the logs cant get bigger than a few kbs
[04:19] <Ashex> bazhang, only additional ones enabled are boxee and dropbox
[04:19] <Ashex> the rest are disabled
[04:19] <bazhang> Ashex, how was that sources.list generated ##added by software properties ?
[04:19] <bazhang> Ashex, but you installed from them right?
[04:19] <Ashex> the top portion was by adept manager, the rest I do manually
[04:19] <ryan_> What is a good note taking app that can sync to the web and is available for both windows and linux?
[04:20] <Ashex> bazhang, yes
[04:20] <bazhang> Ashex, the odd repos, miro are the main culprits, possibly flash install as well.
[04:21] <Ashex> bazhang, I've disabled miro. I don't see how flash would affect system performance since I don't have a browser running all the time
[04:21] <bazhang> Ashex, thought you said ff performance was an issue
[04:22] <eitreach> I have added the repository for wine 1.1.5 and updated my sources, but I can't install the new version. What am I doing wrong?
[04:22] <pawan1> hi
[04:22] <Ashex> bazhang, it was one of them
[04:22] <WhiteyWulfy> can someone tell me where can i get the libpq-dev package?
[04:23] <bazhang> Ashex, how old is this install
[04:23] <Ashex> bazhang, it was more overall system is just a bit sluggish when opening apps/documents
[04:23] <WhiteyWulfy> apt-get install didnt work
[04:23] <Ashex> bazhang, about 4 months
[04:23] <ArtVandalae> Hi all, how do I set my default Window manager in GNOME? I want to change it from Metacity to awesome
[04:23] <cyban> Whats the default, Gutsy or Hardy with Ubu Desktop?
[04:23] <bazhang> Ashex, in future you may wish to have a separate home /partition ( !home )
[04:23] <eitreach> ArtVandalae: awesome --replace
[04:24] <Ashex> bazhang, I do
[04:24] <badfish> whiteywulfy: try sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
[04:24] <Ashex> I've got it on a seperate disk
[04:24] <m11> so, is there a simple way to get resolution more then 800x600 on ubuntu 8.04 ?
[04:24] <badfish> whiteywulfy: sudo is "superdo" aka: root command
[04:24] <Gr33n3gg> m11: I already gave you a link
[04:24] <Ashex> I have it configured to one disk with seperate /boot and /, then another with /home, and another that is /media/big with all my media
[04:24] <bazhang> Ashex, what java do you have installed
[04:24] <cyban> m11, you have su?
[04:24] <m11> Gr33n3gg: yes, tnx, nothing from that works
[04:24] <WhiteyWulfy> im alrady root but it cant find the package
[04:24] <m11> cyban: su ?
[04:25] <Ashex> bazhang, 1.6.0_0-b11
[04:25] <Gr33n3gg> m11: Try Google.
[04:25] <pavan_> hi all
[04:25] <bazhang> cyban, dont use su
[04:25] <crashsystems> Does anyone know of any hacks for getting Adobe Air to run on 64bit Ubuntu?
[04:25] <cyban> ah ya sudo for Ubu, keep forgetting
[04:25] <m11> Gr33n3gg: tried all options from there, maximum i can get 800x600
[04:25] <WhiteyWulfy> or su - root
[04:25] <WhiteyWulfy> works too
[04:25] <WhiteyWulfy> eh
[04:25] <badfish> i'm lovin me some damn linux!
[04:25] <bazhang> WhiteyWulfy, no
[04:25] <Gr33n3gg> Does your video card support anything higher?
[04:25] <badfish> whiteywulfy: no idea. i just sudo everything
[04:25] <pavan_> i was trying to add wxWidgets repository to the Synaptic sources but got the following error
[04:25] <bazhang> !ot > badfish
[04:26] <cyban> m11, sudo vi /etc/share/X11/xorg.conf
[04:26] <eitreach>  I have added the repository for wine 1.1.5 and updated my sources, but I can't install the new version. What am I doing wrong?
[04:26] <m11> Gr33n3gg: was working ok on 7.10 till today when i installed 8.04
[04:26] <WhiteyWulfy> k gnight
[04:26] <extor> http://www.coralcdn.org/  <-- What on earth is this and why would anyone want to use it?
[04:26] <m11> cyban: why /etc/share ?
[04:26] <badfish> what's the difference between sudo and su - root?
[04:26] <bazhang> !sudo | badfish
[04:26] <cyban> ah sry, minus the /share
[04:26] <cyban> (Not my default OS)
[04:27] <eitreach> badfish: sudo escalates priviledges for a while. su makes you root.
[04:27] <badfish> i know what sudo is
[04:27] <m11> cyban: edited it heavyly and still max 800x600
[04:27] <badfish> i've used it for 3 days now
[04:27] <cyban> m11, did it have a resolution section?
[04:27] <badfish> wulf just mentioned su -root
[04:27] <crashsystems> ah, no adobe air on 64bit for me I guess :(
[04:27] <m11> cyban: no, i added manualy
[04:27] <badfish> is su -root the rpm equivalent of sudo?
[04:27] <eitreach> badfish: su alone is root.
[04:28] <m11> cyban: subsection display --- modes ---resolutions
[04:28] <THCLOKI> hi
[04:28] <cyban> m11, wait - you added it?
[04:28] <badfish> so su -root is putting the -root syntax on root
[04:28] <Gr33n3gg> Nah, I'm not really into Pokemon
[04:28] <badfish> must be rpm
[04:28] <THCLOKI> Is that an english chatroom?
[04:28] <m11> cyban: yes, there was nothing in xorg.conf
[04:29] <cyban> m11, sec  tryin to find/remember the command to rebuild xorg
[04:29] <badfish> i thought su was super

[04:31] <xadzax> Hi guys. I tried getting my USB western digital My Book to be a shared drive on Ubuntu so my Vista  machine could access it, and everything Ive tried ends up with Vista saying it cant access because of restrictions.  I tried using the gui properties, and even though the guest priveleges are set no success. I also tried adding the device into the sbm.conf with no luck. Is this possibly because ubuntu recognizes the file system on the M
[04:31] <Athleone> How do I make everything in Ubuntu larger?  :-P
[04:32] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> ok, basically, i installed ubuntu to my second hard drive via vmware workstation in winxp
[04:32] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> i verified the install would work properly and updated the boot loader with no problems
[04:33] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> i figured out the time problem as well
[04:33] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> what i can't figure out, is how to get my wireless card to connect
[04:33] <cyban> m11, I cant find generic linva drivers for onboard gfx so dont think that will work, unless theres a force display command I am not aware of in Ubu I dont know
[04:33] <THCLOKI> damnit
[04:34] <m11> cyban: it was working 6 hours ago on 7.10 :)
[04:34] <redvamp128> xadzax you tried making it fat32--- It should be easy access for Vista and Ubuntu
[04:34] <THCLOKI> no one answers me in germa  ubuntu chat
[04:34] <cyban> Yekyaa[Ubuntu], likely the driver is installed wrong, or the device isnt working - wifi in ubuntu is prety simple it finds networks prety well
[04:34] <FluxD> THCLOKI, ask your question in english here?
[04:34] <cyban> m11, did you install Emerald or something?
[04:34] <Aeroraptor> hey Flannel
[04:34] <THCLOKI> No
[04:35] <THCLOKI> But i will try
[04:35] <zashi> christ. that's a long user list
[04:35] <m11> cyban: i just want pure good old 2d 1024x768... nothing more
[04:35] <xadzax> well thats the thing...It is a fat 32..but when I look on thge Ubuntu properties it states msdos... I can navigate through the file system though with Ubuntu no probs
[04:35] <THCLOKI> Well, i have prblemes with booting Ubuntu
[04:35] <cyban> hrm, tried Enlightenment desktop?
[04:35] <FluxD> what exactly is the problem?
[04:35] <cyban> that was for m11
[04:36] <THCLOKI> Since  I typed in Terminal = pulseaudio -D
[04:36] <isabel__> hey, CostaRicanQuaker here, I downloaded ubuntu onto this old toshiba satellite 1805-s204 yesterday, i has trouble installing it, it had xp on it and there was some sort of black that wouldnt let the partitioner work, i nearly gave up but i use gparted instead and wiped the partitions and then used the use largestg  amount of continous free space option to intall it, i was able to install it but now for it to boot is necessary to press f12 and select the
[04:36] <mneptok> m11: there is no need to change desktop environments
[04:36] <root> hey i need a java.so file were can i download just that?
[04:36] <isabel__>  boot from hard drive option, otherwise if i just turn the computer it gives a message that says, wrong disk insert correct disk and press any key
[04:36] <m11> mneptok: do you know solution to this problem ?
[04:36] <mneptok> m11: boot to recovery mode, run the "xfix" option
[04:36] <milluminu> anyone running ubuntu care to wgetpaste the iphone-mount script from the ipod-convenience package for me? i run gentoo and don't have this but need it
[04:36] <m11> mneptok: give me minute please
[04:37] <xadzax> the original idea wass to share the device such that I didnt have to have anyone log in.
[04:37] <FluxD> milluminu, where is it I will try and get it
[04:37] <THCLOKI> the problem is, that i'am using Linix jsut for 3 days
[04:37] <THCLOKI> So, i'am a nup :\
[04:37] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> is this the correct channel for ubuntu support?
[04:37] <FluxD> THCLOKI, why did you do that?
[04:37] <mrtr> jhguir
[04:37] <isabel__> how do i alter the bios from inside ubuntu
[04:37] <cyban> ah there ya go, didnt know Ubu had anythin like that m11,
[04:37] <isabel__> so that everytime i restart
[04:37] <THCLOKI> Ive got problems with Flashplayer Sound
[04:37] <Guest84523> were can i sownload a java.so file so i can put it in my web plugins
[04:38] <isabel__> it just goes to boot from hard drive by default
[04:38] <mneptok> !enter > isabel__
[04:38] <Gr33n3gg> isabel_, from my knowledge, you can't. You have to go into your BIOS as your computer is starting up
[04:38] <m11> cyban: doubt that is so easy to fix :9
[04:38] <FluxD> THCLOKI, this is a temporary fix but I changed the sound driver to alsa and it worked
[04:38] <redvamp128> xadzax:  it could be that on vista you are UAC
[04:38] <mrtr> who can tell fo me chat yahoo on ubuntu 8.04?
[04:38] <THCLOKI> Yeah, i did so too, but i didn't work
[04:38] <xadzax> UAC?
[04:38] <redvamp128> Kind of like where some things have to run as Root- or SUdo
[04:38] <FluxD> THCLOKI, try one of the other ones
[04:38] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> User Access Control

[04:40] <THCLOKI> Ah
[04:40] <m11> mneptok: done

[04:40] <Guest84523> i cvant
[04:40] <THCLOKI> thx
[04:40] <m11> mneptok: reboot ?
[04:40] <Guest84523> i cant
[04:40] <mneptok> m11: continue booting normally now
[04:40] <THCLOKI> No, i did not
[04:40] <xadzax> Hmmm. The user has no restrictions
[04:40] <m11> mneptok: resume normal boot ?
[04:40] <xadzax> its a admin

[04:40] <m11> mneptok: booting
[04:40] <THCLOKI> But, will the Stystem keep my Setting and Drivers?
[04:41] <FluxD> THCLOKI, It should
[04:41] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> just curious, does anyone have any experience with Broadcom Chipset 4303 (rev 03) Wireless Adapters, such as Motorola WCP810G?  I got up to the point it's recognizing, and I can't get it to scan at all, works fine in Winxp
[04:41] <mneptok> Guest84523: upgrade. don;t ask random people on the Internet to send you binaries.
[04:41] <eitreach> g0tcha: is your user privileged to administer the system?
[04:41] <THCLOKI> Wonderfull
[04:41] <Guest84523> i cant upgrade i ill ask people what i wanna ask people
[04:41] <m11> mneptok: as i thought, nothing hapaned
[04:41] <g0tcha> eitreach, yes, i used the sudo commands just couple of hours ago
[04:41] <FluxD> Yekyaa[Ubuntu], you have to use the firmware from windows drivers and use the linux drivers
[04:41] <enos> how do i create an img from a cd?
[04:42] <eitreach> g0tcha: then it's over my head I'm affraid.
[04:42] <mneptok> m11: are you stuck in a low resolution?
[04:42] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> Flux: did that already, not sure where i screwed up, but i used bcm43-fwcutter to get it
[04:42] <m11> mneptok: yes
[04:42] <mneptok> m11: graphic chipset?
[04:42] <m11> mneptok: Sis
[04:42] <xadzax> Well lemme ask this then. Would I need to even bother with the smb.conf Or is the gui proerties/sharing menu supposed to work with no probs
[04:42] <FluxD> milluminu, where is the script I can get it for you?
[04:42] <mneptok> m11: does SiS provide open (or closed) X11 drivers?
[04:42] <THCLOKI> mhm
[04:43] <THCLOKI> I am on withg windows
[04:43] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> Flux: got em all installed, followed 3 different guides, even blacklisted ndiswrapper, and that worked for all of 10 minutes, but network manager crashed/closed when i tried to connect to a local unsecured network
[04:43] <m11> mneptok: was runing all ok on 1024x768 6 hours ago on 7.10
[04:43] <enos> image!
[04:43] <mneptok> m11: sounds like you're in VESA mode because X11 can't find any better driver for your graphics
[04:43] <hwilde> woah there
[04:43] <hwilde> way to out her
[04:43] <Ash-Fox> THCLOKI, you must repent.
[04:43] <m11> mneptok: VESA supports 1024x768
[04:43] <THCLOKI> Sry, i am german what means repent?
[04:43] <mannytu> should you increase the screen size when running Ubuntu in Virtualbox?
[04:43] <stickboy> anyone here got cod4 to run in wine?
[04:43] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> biblical term: ask forgiveness
[04:43] <m11> mneptok: i cant get higher then 960x600
[04:44] <Guest84523> a lot of people ran cod4 in wine and crysis for that matter
[04:44] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> Flux: any other suggestions? i got it to recognize it completely, it's just not connecting/scanning
[04:44] <THCLOKI> m11 chose an other monirotsetting
[04:44] <vocx> m11, do "man sis", apparently there is a driver, but I don't know if your card is supported.
[04:44] <Ash-Fox> Guest10840, cod4 does not work in Wine.
[04:44] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> i'm running Ubuntu through VMWare right now
[04:44] <m11> vocx: it is no problem for driver, it is problem ubuntu not loading it
[04:45] <mneptok> m11: sounds like a misisng or broken SiS driver
[04:45] <mneptok> m11: get a real video chipset? :/
[04:45] <stickboy> well i'm trying to get cod4 to run in wine. installed and did nocd crack. when i run singleplayer i get a runtime error r6002 - floating point support not loaded. multiplayer just gives me a blank screen and messes up my resolution.
[04:45] <m11> mneptok: just resolution fix problem
[04:45] <Ash-Fox> stickboy, cod4 does not work in wine, period.
[04:45] <mneptok> m11: no, if the driver is broken, then you will not be able to use any higher resolutions
[04:45] <xadzax> well, ill keep fighting with it. it should be an easy thing i guess.
[04:45] <Ash-Fox> stickboy, I will tripple check for you.
[04:45] <jocker007> hi
[04:45] <m11> mneptok: i doubt it is broken
[04:46] <redvamp128> xadzaz
[04:46] <stickboy> ash-fox there's tutorials up for it and says it works just can't get on punkbuster servers for multi.
[04:46] <xadzax> yeah
[04:46] <m11> mneptok: rather would say ubuntu dindnt set it up properly
[04:46] <redvamp128> PM me-- I think I know what may have happened
[04:46] <mannytu> 800x600 kinda small...
[04:46] <THCLOKI> m11: there is a tool whre you can change you monitorsettings
[04:46] <gp|kfall> How do i get Flash to work on Ubuntu? I have the 64bit version of Ubuntu(i think, if there is a way i can check tell me)
[04:46] <THCLOKI> i do not know the name
[04:47] <m11> THCLOKI: yes there might be if u have resolutions enabled
[04:47] <THCLOKI> but i had the same problem
[04:47] <Ash-Fox> stickboy, I appologize, it's working now in appdb with wine 1.1.2 to 1.1.4
[04:47] <chris4585> question, if i clear my mbr will it be impossible to boot any of my partitions?
[04:47] <m11> THCLOKI: if u dont have resolutions, u cant do SH#"$%
[04:47] <chris4585> for example i have grub on a memory stick, could i still my partitions up if i clear my mbr?
[04:47] <stickboy> ash-fox i'm on 1.1.4 but i can't get it to work.
[04:47] <Ash-Fox> stickboy, punkbuster is a seperate application to call of duty 4. Since it acts as a kernel driver, it probably wouldn't work, but let met check the application database.
[04:47] <jocker007> for example i have grub on a memory stick, could i still my partitions up if i clear my mbr?
[04:48] <indian_munnda> can anyone tell me how can avoid my archives from getting cleaned from the archives folder???
[04:48] <chris4585> gp|kfall, install ubuntu-restricted-extras that should get flash working
[04:48] <stickboy> ash-fox yeah punkbuster doesn't work so can't get on servers that need it.
[04:48] <mannytu> restricted drivers...
[04:48] <stickboy> ash-fox right now i can't even get them to run for more than a few seconds.
[04:48] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> cyban: i noticed you were trying to help me earlier along with FluxD  do either of you have any other suggestions, or should i go in more detail on what steps i've taken?
[04:48] <Ash-Fox> stickboy, according to the application database, it doesn't work at all, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=3896
[04:48] <FluxD> Yekyaa[Ubuntu], I used ndiswrapper using this tut let me find it
[04:48] <ianq> i got a new dvd drive today and ubuntu isn't picking it up automatically. is there any way i can check if it's recognized by the computer e.g. in the bios before i assume that it's an ubuntu issue?
[04:49] <stickboy> ash-fox well right now neither does singleplayer so something else is wrong
[04:49] <indian_munnda> can anyone tell me how can avoid my archives from getting cleaned from the archives folder???
[04:49] <Ash-Fox> stickboy, single player issue would be a seperate issue
[04:49] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> FluxD: also, how would i uninstall the existing packages, or do i have to worry about them interfering/conflicting?
[04:49] <uriel_> how do i install microsoft office 2007 on ubuntu?
[04:49] <SchmittyDoesIt> can you set DNS with ifconfig
[04:49] <SchmittyDoesIt> i need to set DNS in shell because the gui is not changing it and i have already done a down/up
[04:49] <FluxD> Yekyaa[Ubuntu], yea remove them for now
[04:49] <vocx> ianq, type "dmesg" in the terminal or view the logs, the kernel should say something about it.
[04:49] <m11> i am starting to be boring to myself, is there a way ubuntu can set resolution higher then 800x600 ?
[04:49] <Ash-Fox> uriel_, install crossover and install office 2007 through that
[04:49] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> FluxD: what if I don't know what packages I installed ;;  :(
[04:49] <ianq> vocx: one moment
[04:50] <Ash-Fox> uriel_, you can get crossover from www.codeweavers.com
[04:50] <gp|kfall> m11: i got mine to work
[04:50] <stickboy> ash-fox well i'd like to get either working but multi would be preferable.
[04:50] <SchmittyDoesIt> can you DNS with ifconfig?
[04:50] <FluxD> Yekyaa[Ubuntu], well then wait
[04:50] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> FluxD: ok, waiting, and thank you ^^
[04:50] <m11> gp|kfall: yes , no problems with ati/nvidia/intell
[04:50] <indian_munnda> can anyone tell me how can avoid my archives from getting cleaned from the archives folder???
[04:50]  * enos just made a cdrom image using "dd" !!!
 thank you  ill downlaod it and ask u in  a muinut if thats ok
[04:50] <enos> Neat!
[04:50] <FluxD> Yekyaa[Ubuntu], http://www.linuxscrew.com/2007/09/19/get-wi-fi-working-on-dell-inspiron-1501-with-ubuntu/ that shows a dell driver but get ur windows driver from broadcom
[04:50] <Ash-Fox> stickboy, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=12804 there are some instructions here that might be of use.
[04:50] <gp|kfall> m11: none at all ... just did sudo apt-get update or w/e and that did it...i used the link i got from the nvidia website and it worked
[04:51] <gp|kfall> m11: didnt even need envy
[04:51] <vocx> indian_munnda, you make no sense. What archives folder? Files aren't removed magically.
[04:51] <stickboy> ash-fox i followed http://www.fsckin.com/2008/02/21/how-to-run-call-of-duty-4-cod4-modern-combat-in-linux/ but used a different crack.
[04:51] <m11> gp|kfall: as i said , no problems with nvidia/ati/intell
[04:51] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> FluxD: i actually got the driver from Motorola's website, but it's still the broadcom driver, same name
[04:51] <runa> hey :) when I installed my ubuntu I didn't had the alternate CD to make an encrypted LVM fs, but now, I would like to at least encrypt my home. Do you have any hints?
[04:51] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> FluxD: checking out the site
[04:51] <FluxD> Yekyaa[Ubuntu], get it from broadcom, that worked for me 100% using my own compiled ndiswrapper
 do i have to but it?
[04:52] <Ash-Fox> stickboy, I have the steam version, but I haven't tried with the recent wine releases.
[04:52] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> FluxD: crap i have to compile my own ndiswrapper? lol ;;
[04:52] <FluxD> Yekyaa[Ubuntu], yes sadly but its not that hard
[04:52] <Ash-Fox> uriel_, no, you can use the trial for 30 days or become a advocate to get a free copy.
[04:52] <FluxD> Yekyaa[Ubuntu], the repo version is really outdated and doesnt work
[04:52] <indian_munnda> vocx: when i install any package from synaptic its saves its archives in /var/cache/apt/archives but after some time these archives are removed automatically.
[04:53] <indian_munnda> vocx: i wanna avoid that.
[04:53] <pawan1> hi
[04:53] <vocx> Yekyaa[Ubuntu], I've heard that since there are many broadcom drivers, if you use ndiswrapper you may try several drivers, even if they have the same name.
[04:53] <pibe> hello, can anybody tell me a webcam softare for ubuntu 64 bits?
[04:53] <Ash-Fox> uriel_, I would suggest using the trial before taking a action like purchasing, to make sure everything works fine.
[04:53] <FluxD> !webcam | pibe
[04:53] <Guest84523> why cant some one send me a java.so
[04:53] <Ash-Fox> pibe, kopete
[04:53] <FluxD> pibe, also look at linuxappfinder.com
[04:53] <stickboy> ash-fox i got steam to work but couldn't get fonts and hud display to work for tf2
[04:53] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> FluxD: thanks for the tip, now i just need to figure out how to make stuff on my machine, reading that faq
[04:54] <FluxD> Guest10840, for what version?
[04:54] <ianq> vocx: uhm, how do i route dmesg output into a file?
[04:54] <Ash-Fox> stickboy, it might be easier for you to use crossover games...
 ok but is there a way to run it through wine?
[04:54] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> vocx: does that mean i can try different drivers without conflicts? or is what you're saying a bad thing?
[04:54] <vocx> indian_munnda, well, yes, they are "cache", variable information that can be deleted whenever necessary to free space. You can move whatever you like to a permanent directory you know.
[04:54] <Ash-Fox> stickboy, really, you should follow the instructions for most things on the wine application database
[04:54] <stickboy> ash-fox how? i might set up a vm actually.
[04:54] <pibe> Ash-Fox: thanks kopete, i see my webcam works :D
[04:54] <IntuitiveNipple> Guest84523: It would have to be built with the same version of gcc as the libraries installed on your PC.
[04:55] <Ash-Fox> stickboy, vms like qemu, vmware lack proper 3d acceleration to play games.
[04:55] <indian_munnda> vocx: ok thanks dude
[04:55] <jong> hi, anyone knows how I can unmask a package? I'd like to install the nvidia-drivers-177.67 package which apparently is still masked per beta
[04:55] <stickboy> ash-fox virtualbox won't work?
[04:55] <Ash-Fox> stickboy, I doubt it.
[04:55] <vocx> ianq, you can use "dmesg | less" or "dmesg > file"   you don't have to view this in the terminal, in the menus System > Administration you can also find the logs
[04:56] <athleone> Hello.
[04:56] <pengo> rsync slows down my machine even when run nice.. how can i stop it clogging IO ?
[04:56] <uriel_> any1 know how to install microsoft office through WINE?
[04:56] <johnwedd> help: i'm haveing trouble with the wifi built in to my laptop, its a dell inspiron 1501/amd Wubi install, i've tried ndiswrapper, and others, but i cannot connect, or detect any wifi networks in range
[04:56] <IntuitiveNipple> qemu has just begun adding opengl/sdl patches
[04:57] <vocx> Yekyaa[Ubuntu], well yes, you can try different drivers through ndiswrapper, not at the same time, but you know, test one, doesn't work, unload ndiswrapper and try the next one.
[04:57] <NinjaBuntu> Trying to play games is hard in Ubuntu Studio... Also seems like there is zero activity in the Channel so I'm just going to have to ask here. I am getting no sound at all. I switched my sounds over to ALSA Going to [System -> Preferences -> Sound] and still no joy. I know The ZSNES Emulator Pumps out sound under Linux, Heck even in Ubuntu, but what the heck going on with ubuntu studio making most of my game sounds not work?...
[04:57] <jong> hi, anyone knows how I can unmask a package? I'd like to install the nvidia-drivers-177.67 package which apparently is still masked per beta
[04:58] <isabel__> how can i edit the bios options from ubuntu so it chooses to boot directly from hard drive everytime when i press f12 it asks from which device i want to boot from but what i want is to jump to grub right from start off
[04:58] <Kleedrac> I'm officially stumped ... got Ubuntu installed on a friend's computer ... grub was working fine ... he took the computer home and now he can boot to ubuntu but not to windows?!
[04:58] <xtwochu>  /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER xtwochu nvuizbbjjufu
[04:58] <ianq> vocx: http://pastebin.com/d4f9ab69f
[04:59] <vocx> isabel__, bios options are specific to every computer, check the internet or your computer's manual
[05:00] <isabel__> vocx, but isnt there a way i can edit the bios from ubuntu maybe from the terminal?
[05:00] <isabel__> i installed an stripped down version of ubuntu, right now i'm installing kubuntu
[05:00] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> isabel__, are you unable to access the bios on the computer directly?
[05:00] <isabel__> i can't do a clean install
[05:01] <IntuitiveNipple> isabel__: no, you have to do that during start-up before the BIOS initialises the system. Usually you press F2 or Del to get to the menu, where you can find boot device options
[05:01] <jong> hi, anyone knows how I can unmask a package? I'd like to install the nvidia-drivers-177.67 package which apparently is still masked per beta
[05:01] <vocx> isabel__, nope, BIOS is the very basic operating system your computer needs to boot, you can edit the BIOS even if you don't have other Operating system
[05:01] <isabel__> when the computer boots up it shows a screen that says toshiba and press f12 to go to bios, there i can choose to boot from the hard drive and the grub starts
[05:02] <isabel__> the boot up screen only offers f12 and i think f6 did the same thing as f12 but otherwise how do i get to the bios configuration
[05:02] <mytears> who is known how to write makefile?a very easy problem .And my english is very pool
[05:02] <vocx> isabel__, usually is by presing Del or maybe Esc
[05:02] <IntuitiveNipple> isabel__: it sounds as if you need to press some other key (try F2 or Del) immediately the PC starts before you see the F12 prompt. If someone has a Toshiba maybe they can be more help.
[05:02] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> isabel__, or F2
[05:02] <badfish> F2 is bios
[05:03] <isabel__> ok once i do that what do i have to do?
[05:03] <mytears> wo can help me
[05:03] <badfish> toshiba makes computers?
[05:03] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> lol
[05:03] <badfish> isabel__: read
[05:03] <isabel__> alter the boot up order so it boots?
[05:03] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> isabel__ 2 HDs?
[05:03] <badfish> i remember those days
[05:03] <badfish> for some reason grub always thinks it's on hd0
[05:03] <badfish> even if it's on hd1
[05:03] <vocx> mytears, if you are trying to use makefiles but you don't know how to write them you are doing something wrong, what do you want to install?
[05:03] <isabel__> i dont want to make ubuntu unaccesible badfish
[05:03] <IntuitiveNipple> isabel__: if that works, find the boot device options, change the boot order so it is CD then hard-disk, then find the 'save and exit' option and save
[05:04] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> looking forward to grub2 being completed
[05:04] <m11> are there any ubuntu experts here ?
[05:04] <badfish> isabel__: i never made ubuntu unaccesible
[05:04] <isabel__> IntuitiveNipple, i think it's already set to cd, i want to do set it to hard disk first
[05:04] <m11> whats wrong with resolution setup on ubuntu 8.04 ?
[05:04] <badfish> isabel__: i never touched linux in my life, and neither vista nor ubuntu was unaccessable
[05:04] <m11> i have followed each and every guide to get 1024x768 and i have no succses
[05:04] <jong> hi, anyone knows how I can unmask a package? I'd like to install the nvidia-drivers-177.67 package which apparently is still masked per beta
[05:05] <vocx> mytears, you don't need a big makefile to use gcc, what do you want to compile?
[05:05] <badfish> isabel__: are you using livecd now?
[05:05] <ianq> vocx: i didn't see anything wrong in dmesg
[05:05] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> FluxD: That ndiswrapper link is from 1 year ago (2007), what's the latest version of ndiswrapper? I'm assuming it isn't 1.47
[05:06] <isabel__> badfish, nope, its already installed but after installation it looked like it was expecting a cd because if i dont go tot he prompt and ask for it to boot from hard disk it says something along the lines of incorrect system disk insert disk and press any key to continue
[05:06] <johnwedd> help, i'm haveing trouble with my built in wifi card on my laptop, ive already tried ndiswrapper, but it doesn't work.
[05:06] <vocx> ianq, what is this thing? I forgot, a DVD drive?
[05:06] <m11> i am strugling for 8 hours now to get resolution more then 800x600 in ubuntu 8.04, this seems like imposible task
[05:06] <IntuitiveNipple> isabel__: It is usual to allow CD first so if needed the system can boot from one if the hard disk won't boot for any reason. As long as no bootable CD is in the drive when the PC starts it will be ignored and the PC will boot from hard disk
[05:06] <ianq> vocx: yes sir
[05:06] <badfish> isabel__: it definitely does not say "error 17: cannot mount selected partition," correct?
[05:07] <IntuitiveNipple> isabel__: That error you mentioned sounds like Windows :)
[05:07] <badfish> isabel__: do you have a flash usb drive plugged in when you boot?
[05:07] <vocx> mytears, there is a make manual you can install "sudo aptitude install make-doc"  read that
[05:07] <isabel__> IntuitiveNipple, what does it look like it's set up to do then? it definetly isn't just moving on to hard drive but asks for a disk to be inserted and i did that for a moment to see if the livecd would work but even when i did that it still prompted me to insert disk and press any key
[05:07] <IntuitiveNipple> isabel__: Is Windows also installed on that PC?
[05:07] <badfish> windows don't mean shit if grub is booting first
[05:08] <badfish> i mean
[05:08] <isabel__> badfish, nope it doesnt say that, and no i dont have a flash driver plugged in when i boot up
[05:08] <badfish> windows don't mean crap
[05:08] <IntuitiveNipple> language, timothy!
[05:08] <johnwedd> help, i'm haveing trouble with my built in wifi card on my laptop, ive already tried ndiswrapper, but it doesn't work
[05:08] <badfish> do you have 2 separate hdd's?
[05:08] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> i'm retrying ndiswrapper myself, johnwedd ;;
[05:08] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> what's the latest version of ndiswrapper, anyone know?
[05:08] <isabel__> windows xp was at one point also isntalled on the computer and it wouldn't let the ubuntu partitioner format the cd
[05:08] <badfish> isabel__: is ubuntu on a separate hard drive disk?
[05:08] <mn_> johnwedd: the only choice you got if ndiswrapper doesn't work is to find a native or get a different card
[05:09] <vocx> mytears, post it in a pastebin
[05:09] <isabel__> i had to use gparted and then
[05:09] <badfish> oh man
[05:09] <isabel__> install it
[05:09] <badfish> it wouldn't let ubuntu format what cd?
[05:09] <jong> hi, anyone knows how I can unmask a package? I'd like to install the nvidia-drivers-177.67 package which apparently is still masked per beta
[05:09] <isabel__> badfish, nope
[05:09] <johnwedd> i have an old belkin usb wifi card, think that work?
[05:09] <badfish> how did you partition your hard drive?
[05:09] <FluxD> Yekyaa[Ubuntu], yea use latest version
[05:09] <mn_> no idea
[05:09] <isabel__> when i used the livecd it wouldnt' let the ubuntu partitioner
[05:09] <isabel__> use the whole disk
[05:09] <isabel__> so it wouldnt install
[05:09] <vocx> ianq, how many hard drives or DVD drives do you have?
[05:09] <badfish> isabel__: so you haven't installed ubuntu yet?
[05:09] <isabel__> it wouldnt erase the windows partition
[05:10] <ianq> Yekyaa[Ubuntu]: 1.53 afaik
[05:10] <uriel_> how do i run. install Microsoft Office 2007 with wine?
[05:10] <isabel__> yes,n i had to use gparted
[05:10] <mn_> johnwedd:  i have no idea but you can always try it
[05:10] <isabel__> deleted some partitions
[05:10] <Daps> I created a user, now i can't get rid of it..
[05:10] <badfish> i don't know anything about gparted
[05:10] <ianq> vocx: one hard drive, one dvd drive
[05:10] <isabel__> except a small one that it wouldn't let me delete
[05:10] <ianq> vocx: and one floppy drive ;)
[05:10] <badfish> so you formatted the entire xp hard drive?
[05:10] <isabel__> and then i was able to install ubuntu from the livecd
[05:10] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> ianq, FluxD tried getting latest version from sourceforge but i'm getting a 404 any suggestions?
[05:10] <badfish> :facehands:
[05:10] <johnwedd> mn_: i'll do that later, rebooting between the two systems is annoying
[05:10] <Daps> how can i get rid of the user i created
[05:11] <badfish> isabel: native language?
[05:11] <badfish> isabel__: native language?
[05:11] <isabel__> how do you mean?
[05:11] <mn_> johnwedd: yep, I used to have to do that until i got wifi to work in my linux
[05:11] <badfish> isabel__: what language did you learn first in your lifetime?
[05:11] <vocx> ianq, but how are they connected, SATA or PATA, the dmesg say ata2 is disabled, maybe disabled from BIOS, but you checked that right?
[05:11] <isabel__> what do you mean by that? what's my computer's "native language· or what is mine
[05:11] <isabel__> oh
[05:11] <isabel__> spanish
[05:11] <badfish> !spanish
[05:12] <isabel__> but i have an english installation of ubuntu
[05:12] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> Never mind, found it :)
[05:12] <badfish> !spanish > isabel__
[05:12] <isabel__> and well...it's too awkward to refer to things
[05:12] <ianq> vocx: assume i don't know anything about hardware
[05:12] <isabel__> ubuntu in spanish
[05:12] <kiah> /bin/sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `done'
[05:12] <kiah> /bin/sh: -c: line 0: `while true; so echo "Hello"; sleep 120; done'
[05:12] <johnwedd> mn_:  does ubuntu autodetect these things?
[05:12] <kiah> arghghh
[05:12] <badfish> i speak a little spanish
[05:12] <badfish> and a little spanglish
[05:12] <isabel__> no no, it slows information exchange by at least thirty percent
[05:12] <kiah> sorry about that. I didn't mean to paste
[05:12] <badfish> spanglish
[05:12] <badfish> teach me some new words
[05:12] <mn_> johnwedd: autodetect what?  USB devices?
[05:12] <IntuitiveNipple> isabel__: Does the PC boot Ubuntu if you do the F12 device selection manually?
[05:13] <isabel__> um....bad
[05:13] <johnwedd> mn_: yes
[05:13] <badfish> f12?
[05:13] <badfish> f2?
[05:13] <_PeteParker_> does someone has a RicoH sd cardreader working?
[05:13] <badfish> negative pete
[05:13] <mn_> johnwedd: yes, it autodetects my USB flash drive
[05:13] <isabel__> IntuitiveNipple, yes but i dont want to have to do that everytime
[05:13] <badfish> there's the guy
[05:14] <IntuitiveNipple> isabel__: ok, I was just making sure you have a working system of some kind!
[05:14] <isabel__> IntuitiveNipple, i don't want to have to press f12 everytime
[05:14] <_PeteParker_> that really sucks, i have tu use a usb card reader :(
[05:14] <badfish> lmao
[05:14] <isabel__> ok
[05:14] <_PeteParker_> thanks anyway
[05:14] <_PeteParker_> :)
[05:14] <FloodBot2> _PeteParker_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:14] <badfish>  _PeteParker: keep asking
[05:14] <badfish>  _PeteParker_: keep asking
[05:14] <_PeteParker_> what?
[05:14] <badfish>  _PeteParker_: or check the forum
[05:15] <badfish>  _PeteParker_: once in a while someone comes along who knows
[05:15] <_PeteParker_> am i flooding?
[05:15] <_PeteParker_> that's strange
[05:15] <vocx> ianq, mmm... open your PC case, and check the cables, also reading the Wikipedia entries on SATA and EIDE should help
[05:15] <badfish>  _PeteParker_: it's a bot
[05:15] <ianq> vocx: i checked the cables twice already
[05:15] <badfish>  _PeteParker_: just don't get stupid and it doesn't matter
[05:15] <_PeteParker_> oh, i have i little other problem here, if you could help me
[05:15] <ianq> vocx: let me read those articles
[05:15] <badfish>  _PeteParker_: either someone here or in the forum will make it work
[05:15] <zbadone> I'm trying to install compiz-fusion with a nvidia GeForce 6200, which X server do  I need to install?
[05:16] <badfish>  _PeteParker_: i don't knwo about yoru flash card reader
[05:16] <ianq> vocx: i can't seem to find anything in the bios pertaining to the issue
[05:16] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> woot, making ndiswrapper 1.53 yay!
[05:16] <_PeteParker_> every time i reboot my laptop it stucks in the post
[05:16] <legend2440> _PeteParker_: http://www.arsgeek.com/2007/04/30/get-your-ricoh-sd-card-reader-working-in-ubuntu/
[05:16] <_PeteParker_> checking for the hard drive
[05:16] <badfish> !forum > _PeteParker_
[05:16] <vocx> ianq, but besides that, when you start your computer get into the BIOS and check that both drives or devices in each connector are enabled.
[05:16] <zbadone> nvidia-glx-new gives me a white screen when running compiz
[05:16] <_PeteParker_> i've read something about the acpi
[05:16] <_PeteParker_> there is a way to solve this
[05:16] <_PeteParker_> ?
[05:16] <badfish> i thought acpi was windows
[05:16] <vocx> !enter | _PeteParker_
[05:17] <_PeteParker_> i don't know the exact name, maybe it's APIC, now i'm confused hieueahieuhaeui
[05:17] <badfish>  _PeteParker_: ur outta my leage
[05:17] <badfish>  _PeteParker_: try the forum
[05:17] <IntuitiveNipple> isabel__:  I suspect you might need to use grub-install with suitable options - it sounds as if the BIOS isn't finding the master boot record boot signature. I could be wrong because your situation is vague, but it would explain why you get the BIOS device prompt each time.
[05:18] <badfish>  _PeteParker_: otherwise, repeat your query here and someone will get to you as soon as they have an idea what you're talkin about
[05:18] <ianq> vocx: i've got under devices: serial port setup, usb setup, parallel port setup, video setup, IDE drives setup, audio and network
[05:18] <xomp> can someone help me with this fglrxinfo? I don't know what this means.
[05:18] <_PeteParker_> badfish thanks for the link, i've tried that already :)
[05:18] <badfish>  _PeteParker_: i just picked up ubuntu yesterday
[05:18] <isabel__> IntuitiveNipple, how do i do that?
[05:18] <IntuitiveNipple> isabel__: Before messing with GrUB I'd try what we suggested earlier. As the PC starts try pressing Del or F2 to get into the BIOS settings menu and set the boot order options
[05:18] <badfish>  _PeteParker_: all i'm tryin to do is my part
[05:18] <pibe86> hello again, fat32 dn vfat are the sane file sistem? is there any difference?
[05:18] <pibe86> and*
[05:18] <_PeteParker_> badfish ok, don't worry, thanks a lot for your attention :)
[05:18] <isabel__> to what order though IntuitiveNipple?
[05:18] <IntuitiveNipple> isabel__: The key has to be pressed very early - before the F12 prompt appears
[05:18] <badfish>  _PeteParker_: if you have a brother printer/scanner, i can help you with that
[05:19] <badfish>  _PeteParker_: good luck
[05:19] <m11> anyone knows how to setup resolution for ubuntu ?
[05:19] <pibe86> fat32 and vfat are the same file sistem? is there any difference?*
[05:19] <_PeteParker_> badfish have you switched from windows?
[05:19] <vocx> mytears, that post has incorrect indentation, you realize that?
[05:19] <badfish>  _PeteParker_: vista
[05:19] <_PeteParker_> uh... heavy
[05:19] <favro> pibe86: yes - linux calls fat   vfat
[05:19] <badfish>  _PeteParker_: i'm running dual boot with a preference for ubuntu
[05:19] <IntuitiveNipple> isabel__: As I said before, CD then hard-disk. If the PC has a floppy fdisk you might make it floppy, CD, hard-disk
[05:19] <FelixTheCat> _PeteParker_: Are you talking about passing 'noapic' and 'nolapic' at boot?
[05:19] <pibe86> favro: so vfat is in linux and fat32 in win2?
[05:19] <badfish> flash before floppy
[05:20] <_PeteParker_> badfish, greate, thats good to start, i switched from windows 1 year ago
[05:20] <m11> can anyone help me set resolution 1024x768 in ubuntu ?
[05:20] <isabel__> IntuitiveNipple, floppy fdisk?
[05:20] <FAJALOU> m11;  what is the video card?
[05:20] <favro> pibe86: if linux finds a fat32 partition it calls it vfat
[05:20] <m11> FAJALOU: it says SIS Real 256e
[05:20] <IntuitiveNipple> isabel__: yes, if the PC has one... the devices are ignored unless they have media in them when the PC starts
[05:20] <_PeteParker_> FelixTheCat: actually i don't know the problem, i've read that it is something with the APIC table on my laptop, it stucks every time I reboot in the post trying to find my hard drive
[05:21] <Macrosoft> what i did was make a 1GB ext3 partition in my first drive, and installed grub over the MBR
[05:21] <pibe86> favro: ok thanks,  because i have a patition and i formated with mkfs.vfat /dev/sda5
[05:21] <FelixTheCat> _PeteParker_: Have you already tried passing at least 'noapic' at boot time?
[05:21] <FAJALOU> hi how can i find out what my network key is?
[05:21] <Macrosoft> ...works great for dual boot
[05:21] <isabel__> IntuitiveNipple, floppy =normal common floppy?
[05:21] <pibe86> that to share files with my bro
[05:21] <_PeteParker_> FelixTheCat, yep, same problem
[05:21] <IntuitiveNipple> isabel__: yes
[05:21] <vocx> mytears, I know, I mean the makefile... you could build that with "gcc -o printf main.c hello.c" now just compile the object files before the executable
[05:21] <badfish> pibe86: i've used fat32; never used vfat
[05:21] <FelixTheCat> _PeteParker_: How about 'nolapic'?
[05:22] <favro> pibe86: windows should see that as fat32
[05:22] <Macrosoft> badfish: they are almost exactly the same
[05:22] <_PeteParker_> FelixTheCat, yes, same thing
[05:22] <snadge> !nvidia
[05:22] <vgambit> I just installed the latest version of ubuntu on a second partition on my laptop, so I can dual boot it with windows xp, but I get error 18 when I turn on the pc
[05:23] <badfish> Macrosoft: almost is ~; equal is =
[05:23] <IntuitiveNipple> _PeteParker_: Can I be clear? The hang is during POST after a reboot, so the problem seems to be a result of an unclean device/controller shutdown by the driver
[05:23] <vgambit> I've been researching this problem and trying to fix it for about 2 hours and found that my bios doesn't support the hard drive (160 gb)
[05:23] <FelixTheCat> _PeteParker_: One other thing to try, 'pci=assign-busses'. That's a stab in the dark, though. That worked for me when trying to get a PC card working.
[05:23] <badfish> Macrosoft: linux =/= horseshoes
[05:23] <ubuntunub> !permissions
[05:23] <ianq> vocx: looks like the dvd drive doesn't show up in the bios
[05:23] <badfish> Macrosoft: not calling you out, just trying to learn linux and filesystems etc
[05:24] <vgambit> I just wanted to know if there was some way to get the mbr or whatever to work properly without having to destroy my windows partition
[05:24] <swilky> Hello, I am trying building a ramdisk file system with busybox. but i want to include nano insted of vi .... is it possable to automaticly copy the libs needed to a folder ??
[05:24] <vocx> ianq, seems a job for the lawyers, sue the store
[05:24] <FAJALOU> hi how can i find out what my network key is?
[05:25] <_PeteParker_> IntuitiveNipple:  i thinking that this is the problem, but i'm not sure, because it is just when i reboot
[05:25] <badfish> what's the difference between fat32 and vfat? google isn't cooperating
[05:25] <ianq> vcox: hmmm, the drive DOES have power though
[05:25] <_PeteParker_> FelixTheCat:  thanks the advice, i haven't tried that yet
[05:26] <vocx> mytears, http://paste.ubuntu.com/48477/
[05:26] <ianq> vcox: it opens and closes just fine, but i guess the power cord is separate from the uhm, motherboard<----> drive connection?
[05:26] <_PeteParker_> badfish: i think that there is no difference, vfat is a generic for fat file systems
[05:26] <vocx> ianq, yep, have you tested the drive in another computer, whether windows or linux?
[05:27] <ianq> vocx: i don't have another one, so no
[05:27] <FAJALOU> hi i have a d-link network card i am trying to run from ubuntu, and it isn't accepting my network key??
[05:27] <_PeteParker_> badfish: the fatsize is set when you create the filesystem, but for linux it's all the same think
[05:27] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> ok, wish me luck everyone, i have to shutdown the main system and reboot ubuntu the old-fashioned way ;;
[05:28] <IntuitiveNipple> _PeteParker_: I'd suggest posting to the Hardware & Laptops forum with the output of lspci -nn and a copy of /var/log/dmesg - let people look at the configuration and think about it
[05:28] <FelixTheCat> _PeteParker_: Does this page help any? - http://hack.mypclinuxos.com/index.php?topic=400.0
[05:28] <_PeteParker_> badfish: are you trying to create a fs?
[05:28] <ubuntunub> god
[05:28] <ubuntunub> linux is so complicated
[05:28] <vocx> ianq, get somebody to test it before calling the store. Also, one trick you could try is to reset the BIOS memory to factory default. It would wipe the clock, but it may try to autodetect every hardware again.
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vfat#FAT32_.28VFAT.29
 seems like wiki says fat32==vfat
 one and the same?
 It's a secret to everybody.
[05:28] <FloodBot2> badfish: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:28] <ubuntunub> and geeks wonder why it's unpopular among commonfolk
[05:28] <badfish> i'm not flooding you silly shit
[05:28] <badfish> i go somewhere else for advice
[05:28] <badfish> dumbass bot
[05:28] <_PeteParker_> IntuitiveNipple: it's a good ideia, thanks
[05:28] <formode> Hello, I am trying to figure out how to pull an Image out of a PSP "Pft" theme on linux, anyone have any ideas?
[05:28] <FAJALOU> hi i have a d-link network card i am trying to run from ubuntu, and it isn't accepting my network key??
[05:28] <_PeteParker_> FelixTheCat: let me check it
 yes
 fat32=vfat
 i think vfat also supports/reads-writes fat16
 must be russian for fat32
 wait no, there is a seperate kernel module for that
[05:29] <FloodBot2> badfish: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:29] <vocx> !ops
[05:29] <badfish> fuck. you. floodbot
[05:29] <badfish> fuck. you. floodbot2
[05:29] <ubuntunub> when i try to run an application it says "Run it as root"
[05:29] <formode> Badfish: paste.ubuntu.com
[05:29] <ubuntunub> can i fix this with a sudo command somehow or do i have to reinstall the application with fixed permissions?
[05:30] <badfish> ubuntunub: put $ sudo command
[05:30] <formode> Hello, I am trying to figure out how to pull an Image out of a PSP "Pft" theme on linux, anyone have any ideas?
[05:30] <Macrosoft> Flannel: thanks
[05:31] <vipaca> Any ideas about how to access samba mounts from command line i.e.
[05:31] <jong> vipaca: yes, i do
[05:31] <jong> vipaca: you could use smbmount... eg. smbmount //<name of computer>/Share
[05:32] <jong> vipaca: and ofcourse you need to append a mount point
[05:32] <jong> vipaca: or the other alternative is to use smbclient
[05:32] <myles7897>  When ever I type my mouse wheel scrolls, so if I'm on a web page, it will scroll to the top. I have tried it will two different mice.
[05:32] <vipaca> jong: I would like to mount to the file system
[05:33] <vipaca> jong: So that I can switch as usual
[05:33] <duiidh> huyz...
[05:33] <vipaca> so this looks to do the trick
[05:33] <jong> vipaca: you do sth like: mkdir lalala; smbmount //mysmbmountdevice/share lalala
[05:33] <formode> Hello, I am trying to figure out how to pull an Image out of a PSP "Pft" theme on linux, anyone have any ideas?
[05:33] <jong> vipaca: then you can 'cd lalala' and you have access to the files
[05:34] <FAJALOU> can anyone help me with gnome-network manager?  i am trying to connect to an encrypted wifi, and right now it says that it is 'preparing device wlan0 for the wireless network "<Network>"  how long should it stay on this before it connects?
[05:34] <jong> vipaca: it works?
[05:34] <pibe86> hello again ;) i am downloading lastest updates so if i suspend my laptop will updates stop?
[05:34] <favro> myles7897: your mouse prob isn't configured right in xorg.conf
[05:34] <Macrosoft> pibe86: yes
[05:34] <almostdvs> i can't get sound from flash.  neither flashplugin-nonfree or flashplugin-nonfreebeta work
[05:34] <myles7897> favro, how would I go about reconfiging?
[05:35] <Macrosoft> pibe86: if you go into stanby or suspend, donwloads and all other activity will stop
[05:35] <jong> almostdvs: sounds familiar, neither do I :)
[05:35] <favro> myles7897: if you haven't done anything special for the vid card then in terminal   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[05:35] <Macrosoft> pibe86: it is okay to lock the screen though
[05:36] <FelixTheCat> jong: vipaca may have to use cifs instead. 'mount -t cifs //remotecomputer/share /mnt/point'
[05:36] <IntuitiveNipple> almostdvs: Is some other application using sound at the same time?
[05:36] <myles7897> favro, is that it? cause its not fixed. :)
[05:37] <jong> FelixTheCat: true, that's the new FS
[05:37] <vocx> myles7897, I'll post new code wait a second
[05:37] <hml> way OT: for a us citizen to travel abroad, what documentation do i need? (or rather where can i look this up; google searches returns result of ppl leaving the us permenantely; i just want to travel)
[05:37] <myles7897> ok vocx
[05:37] <almostdvs> no. and other applications have sound.  i think i've been asked that before :P
[05:37] <favro> myles7897: did you select diff options for the mouse?
[05:37] <pibe86> Macrosoft: so i am going to leave for an hour so is locking the screen the best way to make uodates while i am away?
[05:37] <vocx> myles7897, he he... not you
[05:37] <Macrosoft> pibe86: yeah
[05:37] <vipaca> FelixTheCat Im actually get an error I hope I dont violate flood its only one line
[05:37] <myles7897> hml: passport would be good, but I think that might be off topic
[05:38] <FelixTheCat> jong: It stinks when you have issues with UID or GID mismatches, though. I like using sshfs better ... but that's not the OP's question. ;)
[05:38] <jong> hml: you need a visa for the country you'd go to
[05:38] <vipaca> mount error 13 = Permission denied
[05:38] <vipaca> Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
[05:38] <vocx> mytears, post your code again
[05:38] <myles7897> favro, all it did was say it created a backup
[05:38] <FelixTheCat> vipaca: What is the entire command you are using?
[05:38] <ianq> hml: where are you planning on going?
[05:38] <hml> ianq: china
[05:38] <jong> FelixTheCat: hopelessly overcomplicated imho
[05:38]  * Orian1701 waves hi.
[05:39] <hml> what should i be googling for? i feel this has to be well documented somewhere on the internet
[05:39] <favro> myles7897: you can manually edit xorg.conf and add options for the mouse - is it usb or a touchpad or?
[05:39] <FelixTheCat> jong: Can be, but it's beautiful when it is set up.
[05:39] <myles7897> usb
[05:39] <vocx> mytears, Texas
[05:39] <pibe86> Macrosoft: thanks
[05:39] <vipaca> FilexTheCat: sudo smbmount //server/share /mnt
[05:39] <jong> hml : you need to apply for a tourist visa very often
[05:39] <ianq> hml: http://www.china-embassy.org/eng/hzqz/zgqz/t84246.htm check the credibility of the information though
[05:39] <hml> wait; if i'm going to HK, i don't need this?
[05:39] <ushimitsudoki> hml: travel.state.gov and please stop the off-topic
[05:40] <myles7897> favro, usb
[05:40] <FelixTheCat> vipaca: You may have to add the user and password with the mount command. You may also need to use cifs instead. Hold one...
[05:40] <favro> myles7897: I'll paste what I use - you can open the file with admin rights using the command   gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:40] <vipaca> yeah I was about to say I need an AD credential for the mount
[05:40] <legend2440> hml: http://gochina.about.com/od/tripplanning/a/Pass_and_Visa.htm
[05:41] <IntuitiveNipple> hml: U.S. Citizens visiting Hong Kong for not more than three months/90 days are not required to obtain visas. They must have a U.S. passport valid for at least six months and evidence of adequate funds for their stay and onward transportation

[05:42] <FelixTheCat> vipaca: Still getting the info, just sec...
[05:42] <FAJALOU1> no flames ;)
[05:42] <Orian1701> I have kinda a weird question for everyone/anyone.  I'm running ubuntu on a tablet pc.  I would like to make a button that would exicute the same functionality as alt tab.  Aka it would input alt+tab and act as if that key combo was held untill there was a click.  Anyone got any clues how i might go about this?  I am a linux noob :P
[05:42] <IntuitiveNipple> A little side-relief after several hours support is perfectly acceptable
[05:42] <favro> myles7897: http://paste.ubuntu.com/48484/
[05:42] <jong> you know what I don't understand about linux: the fact that every config file has a different format, every program has different input, output and format of commandline options, for everything you want to do there are about 5 options, each of them doing sth right and sth wrong and the whole thing is written in about a dozen different languages, most of which are not very flexible nor abstractable... what happened with the UNIX philosophy 'Keep it
[05:43] <hml> jong: yeah; we should just adopt lisp sexps for everything
[05:43] <FAJALOU1> how can i figure out what my encryption is on my wifi network from ubuntu?
[05:43] <IntuitiveNipple> jong: be glad they aren't all overblown XM L !
[05:43] <Malformation> lol Jong
[05:43] <abhijeet> Hey does anyone know a good alternative to CCleaner...Something that removes temp files from your computer
[05:43] <jong> hml: I'd agree with a Lisp like solution, or rather MOP Lisp
[05:43] <favro> myles7897: add that in the appropriate section then you save the file and logout/in
[05:43] <jong> IntuitiveNipple: well, XML is so thin, I'd say Unicode is more complicated
[05:44] <myles7897> favro, ok. thanks.
[05:44] <Malformation> IntuitiveNippl
[05:44] <Malformation> lmao
[05:44] <favro> np
[05:44] <FAJALOU1> how can i figure out what my encryption is on my wifi network from ubuntu?
[05:44] <FelixTheCat> vipaca: mount -t cifs //remote/share /mnt/local -ouser=username,password=password
[05:44] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJALOU: check on the Wifi router
[05:45] <FAJALOU1> IntuitiveNipple:  i would love too,,, but it am currently locked out of it ...
[05:45] <FelixTheCat> vipaca: You can also add 'domain=domain' on the end of the options if the share requires you to have it.
[05:45] <ianq> FAJALOU1: why
[05:45] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJALOU: usually, network-manager applet will prompt with the type of encryption in use
[05:45] <vipaca> FelixTheCat I was definatley not expecting the comma
[05:45] <P041NX> FAJALOU1:normaly, there is a readonly web interface to the router...
[05:45] <FAJALOU1> the problem i am having is that on one computer it is working fine, but when i go to a different ubuntu computer the encryption isn't working.
[05:46] <FAJALOU1> so i am looking for the pw to get onto it primarily...
[05:46] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJALOU: does the Wifi device driver support the type of encryption?
[05:46] <FelixTheCat> vipaca: Necessary to separate the options. Just be sure there is no space after the comma(s)
[05:46] <FAJALOU1> and i have it in front of me, but when i plug it in it doesn't work.
[05:46] <P041NX> FAJALOU1:so a network config problem?
[05:46] <FAJALOU1> ndiswrapper.
[05:46] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> ok, so it didn't work ;;
[05:46] <FAJALOU1> P041NX: i am connected on one computer, not on another...
[05:46] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJALOU: on the connected PC, you can find out using "iwconfig"
[05:46] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> afk to smoke, then we'll talk more :)
[05:46] <jong> vipaca: the -o... starts the option line, everything after that needs to fit in one non-spaced 'word'
[05:46] <vipaca> FelixTheCat: Is it using any security when sending the pass?
[05:47] <FelixTheCat> vipaca: Very good question - I don't personally don't know. Let me find out...
[05:47] <FAJALOU1> IntuitiveNipple: in iwconfig i just see mode:managed nothing about the actual encryption
[05:47] <P041NX> FAJALOU1: router isn't blocking in pi based, right?
[05:47] <vipaca> Im in! Thank you guys very much you have restored my faith to this usually useless channel
[05:48] <sarthor> HI, my laptop was dual boot, Ubuntu+XP, due to virus i deleted my ntfs drives, where XP was installed, now i want to install Xp again, but after booting from XP cd the screen get blank/black, how can i install xp now??
[05:48] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJALOU: try " sudo iwconfig wlan0" it will report the current key, which you can use on the other PC

[05:49] <FelixTheCat> vipaca: I don't find anything in a cursory check in the man page. If you are still interested, we can dig further.
[05:49] <Malformation> sarthor, you should just use a disk drive recovery
[05:49] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJALOU: the key is created from the password/passphrase

[05:51] <atomic_> This is a general linux question and not specifically to ubuntu. How can I open a firefox with a user on a different install on my same machine? I would like to get to my photo bucket site but I have a different email than I had when I signed up and a different install of ubuntu. I know I could just boot back into that install of ubuntu but that's last resort. :)
[05:51] <vgambit> I just installed the latest version of ubuntu on a second partition on my laptop, so I can dual boot it with windows xp, but I get error 18 when I turn on the pc
[05:51] <ciarandoherty> haha yeah, but I'm gonna work my ass off
[05:51] <vgambit> I've been researching this problem and trying to fix it for about 2 hours and found that my bios doesn't support the hard drive (160 gb)
[05:51] <jong> arang: odd, wish I could help you
[05:51] <vgambit> I just wanted to know if there was some way to get the mbr or whatever to work properly without having to destroy my windows partition
[05:51] <IntuitiveNipple> ciarandoherty: don't wear it out :D
[05:52] <FAJALOU1> vgambit:  there is a think called super grub disk
[05:52] <Debolaz> FelixTheCat: Most notably that it doesn't have to be an .iso :)
[05:52] <FAJALOU1> it can restore your mbf

[05:52] <FelixTheCat> Debolaz: Interesting.
[05:52] <arang> jong: thanks jong but i dont know where to check that , updatedb.conf have prunepath and other stuff inside i dunno what to do and i cant find info online
[05:52] <Debolaz> FelixTheCat: And since it appears like a real cd device, applications like wine will pick it up automatically.
[05:52] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> do i have a conflict or something? when i use ndiswrapper is the bcm43 or w/e supposed to show up in the "Hardware Drivers" menu?
[05:53] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJALOU: navigate to /system/networking/connections/ and check the network has an entry there
[05:53] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> and, it's a 4306 chipset apparently
[05:53] <jong> arang: well, until you find the solution: man 1 find  :)
[05:53] <Orian1701> can anyone help me figure out how to make a shortcut or something that will allow me to input a keyboard combo via an icon/button?
[05:53] <arang> jong: i'm sorry i didnt understand
[05:53] <vocx> mytears, ^^
[05:53] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJALOU1: then, if you have it, Applications > Accessories > Passwords and Encryption Keys
[05:53] <FAJALOU1> IntuitiveNipple:  yes there are connections; i can connect to an unsecured connection in my city, but i can't get on it...
[05:54] <jong> arang: read the manual page for 'find' "man 1 find" as a command
[05:54] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJALOU1: and go to the Passwords tab and look for the network entry
[05:54] <atomic_> Orian1701: Try the program keytouch
[05:54] <arang> jong: oh
[05:54] <P041NX> atomic_:you'll also need to /home/${user}/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini if you are joining tow or more fromile from difffrent machine.
[05:54] <Debolaz> FelixTheCat: The command line interface is also a lot simpler, though it has a neat graphical applet that will let you pretty much just click and select a file from the standard gnome file selection dialogue.
[05:54] <Orian1701> oo ok atomic :D
[05:54] <vgambit> FAJALOU1 I'll try it but I'm not sure it will work

[05:55] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJALOU1: You can select a "Network secret for..." and then choose to view the password stored
[05:55] <vgambit> as far as I know, the MBR is fine already
[05:55] <FAJALOU1> IntuitiveNipple:  it's even longer than the one that i originally got from iwconfig?

[05:56] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJALOU1: That's where the keys are stored. If you're expecting a passphrase/password you'll need to run that key through a reverse algorithm - maybe find one via Google
[05:56] <atomic_> Orian1701: Yeah, I read what you wrote again and it didn't seem to be what you wanted. Sorry.

[06:03] <P041NX> turtles1: pstree |grep firefox
[06:03] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJALOU1: oh yeah, they are different here too. I'd use the one from seahorse since network-manager shows that one in the prompt box if the "show password" checkbox is ticked
[06:03] <vocx> sarthor_, just install grub to make sure you can get access to linux in case you want to backup your files, since ultimately formating maybe the only solution. But before that, you mean the Win XP CD doesn't boot? It says "press any key to boot from the CD".
[06:03] <FAJALOU1> vgambit:  go into your live cd, mount your linux installation and then type in 'sudo touch <pathtoHdd>/forcefsck
[06:03] <turtles1> P041NX:  thanks, I'll take a look
[06:03] <IntuitiveNipple> usser: You might want to include "uvcvideo" in that list since it is known to be broken
[06:04] <vgambit> ok
[06:04] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> vocx, any suggestions on my wireless card situation? i tried ndiswrapper with the latest drivers from broadcom, and when i do  iwlist scanning, i get wlan0 "No scan results."
[06:04] <P041NX> turtles1: the PPID of filrefow will show what has called it. a "ps -AF" will show all process, including the one with the pid that has called firefox
[06:04] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> in winxp, i can get about 6 different wireless networks in the area
[06:05] <vocx> Yekyaa[Ubuntu], did every step? "iwconfig"
[06:05] <FluxD> Yekyaa[Ubuntu], yea
[06:05] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> yar, iwconfig, it's there
[06:05] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> wb, fluxd
[06:05] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> it sees the card
[06:05] <ernestoz> hi guys
[06:05] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> here's my problem, i think.  Hardware Drivers show bc43 or bcm43 as "In use" and Hardware Present
[06:05] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> does ndiswrapper put that there?
[06:05] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> or do i have a conflicting driver or something?
[06:06] <venger> Orian1701, xsend, xautomation, xmacro?
[06:06] <vgambit> FAJALOU1, I'm starting up ubuntu live now, but I just tried booting into the installed linux using super grub disc and that didn't work
[06:06] <vgambit> it did let me boot into windows, though
[06:06] <vocx> Yekyaa[Ubuntu], well, not always the latest drivers work, that's why I told you to try several. You should "rmmod bcm43" before using ndiswrapper, otherwise they conflict, check with "lsmod"
[06:06] <PhiAlpha> NEED HELP WITH BROWSING A WINDOWS NETWORK...samba not the issue.  Someone help me!!!!

[06:06] <Nix3r>  how to show ''downloaded' tab in ktorrent?
[06:06] <FluxD> Yekyaa[Ubuntu], you are supposed to blacklist the other drivers so no that shouldnt be there
[06:06] <vocx> !CAPS | PhiAlpha
[06:06] <FAJALOU1> vgambit:  sounds like your linux part is corrupted
[06:06] <Orian1701> venger:  i donno :D im asking u?  :P  Let me browse those suggestions
[06:07] <armornick> Daps, you can't, use sudo to execute commands as root
[06:07] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> so, i should go back in and disable it's use then and from there, what do i do?
[06:07] <Daps> ok
[06:07] <FAJALOU1> IntuitiveNipple: it still connects to the cities wifi (which isn't working for me, different story/ different time) and won't connect to my wifi
[06:07] <Daps> thanks
[06:07] <P041NX> PhiAlpha: and you'll need to supply bit more infotoo...
[06:07] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> also, for some reason, "Enable wireless" has only been open to me once
[06:07] <vgambit> FAJALOU1, hm. I dunno how that happened, considering all I did was install it
[06:07] <armornick> Daps, also, if you wish to use graphical applications as root, use gksudo
[06:08] <Daps> it says i am not the sudoer file... what??
[06:08] <vocx> mytears, good luck
[06:08] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> and when i do iwlist wlan0 scanning or iwlist wlan0 scan, wlan0 gets no Scan results, but WinXP can pull 6 wireless networks in the area usually, medium to low connection, but still
[06:08] <ernestoz> hey guys i am trying to mount a ntfs partition in ubuntu 8.04 and i get error that say Operation not supported Mount because NTFS marked to be in use
[06:08] <FAJALOU1> vgambit:  i would try reinstalling it then; b/c it's a possibility that something just went a little wrong
[06:08] <Daps> ok gksudo it is
[06:09] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> also, i saw this link on Ubuntu, but 4306 is guaranteed NOT to work Link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=880218
[06:09] <turtles1> P041NX:  without any firefox windows, one just popped up. ps -AF | grep firefox shows a PPID of 1
[06:09] <brandonmpace> armornick: actually you can log in as root if you want to, it´s just not recommended
[06:09] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJALOU1: maybe the WiFi router has a MAC address white-list and the failing PC isn't in the list?
[06:09] <turtles1> P041NX:  which is /sbin/init I think
[06:09] <armornick> brandonmpace, which is why I don't know how ;)
[06:10] <Daps> The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator.
[06:10] <P041NX> turtles1:thats the mother of all system. not what you're looking for.
[06:10] <Daps> what now?
[06:10] <FAJALOU1> IntuitiveNipple:  all i am thinking is that it shouldn't be this hard; i got on easily without encryption to another network, and on another computer i got on easily...
[06:10] <brandonmpace> Daps: what program are you trying to use?
[06:10] <ArtVandalae> Hi all, I want to open a GUI program, as another user on the same machine. I've logged in as the user in a terminal, but when I try to run the program I get "cannot open display". I've tried export DISPLAY=:0, DISPLAY=:1, etc. But it says it cannot find it. How can I find out what position my X server is running on?
[06:10] <Daps> i am trying to delete a user i added
[06:11] <singleman6261984> userdel name
[06:11] <turtles1> P041NX:  I think this started after I followed the ubuntu wiki to setup my g15 keyboard. do you think maybe some hotkey is set wrong and is triggering?
[06:11] <P041NX> turtles1: i know it's a bit dissapointing, but temporary changing the /usr/bin/firefox link to something else to show what is calling it might help
[06:11] <brandonmpace> Daps: as singleman said, sudo userdel NAME
[06:11] <singleman6261984> gentoo for all
[06:11] <PhiAlpha> Okay...I try to browse another computer that is running Windows Vista on my home network.  I can see the computer in the file browser window but when I double click it I see none of the shared files from the computer.  When trying to view the shares on the ubuntu machine from Vista it works perfectly.  Point is...I see the computers from both computers...but only the files on the Ubuntu when browsing from Windows; not the other way aroun
[06:12] <turtles1> P041NX:  how do you mean? rename /usr/bin/firefox to /usr/bin/firefox.old or something?
[06:12] <vgambit> FAJALOU1, I tried typing sudo touch <pathtoHdd>/forcefsck and that didn't seem to do anything
[06:12] <vgambit> I typed sudo touch hda /forcefsck
[06:12] <Daps> zidaps is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[06:12] <jamus> hye guy's - this may seem like a stupid question but - i set up my supeuser\root pass and it havent been a while since i loged in ubu -- i forgot it , is there any way to override\retrieve it ?
[06:12] <hosstest> I have an NVIDIA 8800 gpu, should I use the third party drivers that Ubuntu has or download them from NVIDIA's website?
[06:12] <P041NX> turtles1:hang on there, i'll give you some code to do it
[06:12] <Nix3r> how to show '' downloaded'' tab in ktorrent ?
[06:12] <mn_> PhiAlpha:  Windows can't do the ext* file systems
[06:12] <turtles1> P041NX:  thank you :)
[06:12] <Daps> thats what i get when i put userdel or sudo userdel
[06:12] <FAJALOU1> vgambit:  try restarting now
[06:13] <brandonmpace> Daps: what version of ubuntu do you have?
[06:13] <Daps> 8.0
[06:13] <Nallep>  I'm trying to find a way to make my laptops cdrom eject button run a script, is there any ways to do that? (I'm trying to get it to try to unmount, and if it did, then eject, otherwise don't eject)
[06:13] <PhiAlpha> mn_: I have no idea what that means but is that the reason I can not browse files on a windows machine through ubuntu?  If so...is there a fix?
[06:13] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJALOU1: I tend to agree with you, but it is hard to remotely diagnose such issues. I'd be focusing on what the logs are showing (/var/log/syslog, /var/log/kern.log, etc.)
[06:13] <SuperQ> Daps: 8.04 (hint: it's a date YEAR.MONTH)
[06:13] <FAJALOU1> IntuitiveNipple:  on which computer?
[06:13] <badfish> does anyone know formode?
[06:13] <jamus> im looking for serious consult here i really to wanna lose my stuff over this bull (to have to reboot and all)
[06:13] <Daps> 8.04.1
[06:14] <Nix3r> how to show '' downloaded'' tab in ktorrent ?
[06:14] <FAJALOU1> IntuitiveNipple:  let me try to turn sys security off on the router one sec.
[06:14] <SuperQ> Daps: Yup, that's the latest LTS stable
[06:14] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJALOU1: The one that has the problems
[06:14] <airtonix> PhiAlpha, the fix is : harrasing microsoft to support opensource filesystems properly
[06:14] <mn_> PhiAlpha:  I thought you meant you couldn't browse Ubuntu on Windows.  You should be able to browse Windows on Ubuntu.
[06:14] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> ok, i think i finally found one that can pick up where i left off
[06:14] <vgambit> FAJALOU1, I tried mounting the windows partition after typing the touch command, but it would not mount
[06:14] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> gonna try again
[06:14] <Daps> ok, so how can i delete the user? lol
[06:14] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJALOU1: As you've got two PCs and one works you can compare logs of the same events and look for differences, and figure out why
[06:14] <vgambit> and after restarting, I still get error 18
[06:14] <badfish> nigga tried to virus me
[06:14] <Daps> without getting zidaps is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[06:15] <the_ricka> Hi, all, simple question (I hope).  How do you disable cd autorun/autoplay?  It used to be under the media tab of System->Preferences->Removable Drives and media
[06:15] <IntuitiveNipple> Daps: Only a user with sudoers permissions can do it
[06:15] <the_ricka> but I'm running 8.04 and I don't see it there
[06:15] <Flannel> Daps: You're trying to remove the first user from the second users account?
[06:15] <mn_> PhiAlpha:  Microsoft uses NTFS and FAT32 filesystems.  Ubuntu supports these, but works better with ext* filesystems.  Windows doesn't support ext* filesystems which is probably what your Ubuntu is installed in.
[06:15] <jamus> badfish: that is impossible
[06:15] <PhiAlpha> mn_ and airtonix: I can browse ubuntu no problem and it works great.  Through my ubuntu computer I can see my windows vista box perfectly fine.  The vista box has plenty of shares that my macbook and other windows can stream from.  Through the ubuntu however...when I double click to open the computer (which ubuntu see's!) I just get an empty window.  No amount of refreshing fixes the problem either
[06:15] <Daps> the second user.. i am the first user
[06:15] <badfish> jamus: not impossible just unlikely
[06:16] <brandonmpace> Daps: well what you can do is go to the system > Admin > users/groups and sometwhere in there there is a check box that says allow local root login
[06:16] <brandonmpace> Daps: or something like that
[06:16] <legend2440> Daps: what happens if you try to remove user using   system>administration>users and groups
[06:16] <Daps> but i gave the second user admin status and used the same password as my account
[06:16] <Flannel> badfish: Again, please watch your language.
[06:16] <arang> i got vmware workstation 6.0.4 64 bits running under ubuntu linux <IP_ADDRESS> 64 bits and i wanna use pulseaudio (padsp) but when i use it i get an LD_PRELOAD error anyone could help me please??
[06:16] <jamus> badfish: linux has lame attempts of viruse but its really no big deal
[06:16] <IntuitiveNipple> the_ricka: Nautilus, Edit > Preferences, Media tab
[06:16] <badfish> i believe it
[06:16] <badfish> it was something about a psp wallpaper
[06:16] <mn_> PhiAlpha:  Sounds like an odd problem.  I have no idea how to fix it.
[06:16] <PhiAlpha> There has to be a workaround...there is no way people who have ubuntu can not browse windows network folders...it's impossible...especially since I can see the computer
[06:16] <jamus> badfish: its root attacks u shoud be worried about
[06:16] <Flannel> Daps: passwords don't matter (they don't have to be the same).  You're the first user, are you in the admin group? (type 'groups')
[06:17] <jamus> badfish: and such
[06:17] <PhiAlpha> Anyone?
[06:17] <Daps> well i get to this locked button.. and when i click it.. it says cannot be autheniticated
[06:17] <badfish> i understaned
[06:17] <badfish> how do i identify a root attack?
[06:17] <Daps> i don't think i am in admin group
[06:17] <the_ricka> IntuitiveNipple: Thank you so much! I knew it had to be fairly simple...why they had to go and move it around on me.
[06:17] <Flannel> Daps: type 'groups' and see
[06:17] <IntuitiveNipple> PhiAlpha: It sounds as if the Windows system isn't allowing guests to have read permissions on the share root
[06:17] <brandonmpace> Daps: wow something is messed up lol, yea type groups
[06:17] <badfish> does a root attack want me to go to vista and see what happens?
[06:18] <Daps> where?
[06:18] <IntuitiveNipple> the_ricka: Yeah, I spent 10 minutes trying to find where they'd moved it!
[06:18] <Flannel> Daps: in a terminal
[06:18] <Daps> zidaps adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin
[06:18] <Flannel> badfish: This channel is for ubuntu support, please keep it on topic.
[06:18] <gnutoit2> what is a good terminal app with color ansi support?
[06:18] <PhiAlpha> IntuitiveNipple: Would that effect all computers on the network or just this Ubuntu box.  All other computers I have see and can browse/open files on that box just fine
[06:18] <Daps> thats what i get back when i type groups
[06:18] <IntuitiveNipple> PhiAlpha: Hmm, are all other PCs Ubuntu, or Windows?
[06:18] <Flannel> Daps: Alright, what are you two usernames?
[06:18] <FAJALOU1> IntuitiveNipple:  no luck
[06:19] <Daps> Zidaps is me.. Boss is the Admin name
[06:19] <badfish> Flannel: if you read the context, you'll see that I am on topic; please know what you're talking about
[06:19] <PhiAlpha> IntuitiveNipple: 2 others are windows, one mac.  The three see the vista box just fine and can stream/open shares fine
[06:19] <turtles1> On my  ubuntu 8.04 install something keeps opening new firefox windows every few minutes or so. is there a log I can look at to see what's triggering firefox to open?
[06:19] <IntuitiveNipple> PhiAlpha: also, is the Ubuntu PC a member of the same SMB domain as the others?
[06:19] <singleman6261984> how do you write a grub entry for ubuntu
[06:19] <Flannel> Daps: So, you're trying to remove which one?
[06:19] <badfish> how many people in this room are bots?
[06:19] <singleman6261984> or is that an automated process
[06:19] <badfish> outta curiousity?
[06:19] <Daps> Boss
[06:19] <airtonix> PhiAlpha, if your being asked for login password and username when trying to access you windows shares..then your not in guest mode
[06:19] <PhiAlpha> IntuitiveNipple: This machine sees the box fine...when I open the window to browse it, no files show up
[06:19] <badfish> i've found 3 so far
[06:19] <Flannel> Daps: Alright, first you need to give zidaps permission to sudo.  You can do this from the boss account
[06:19] <Flannel> badfish: Please stop.
[06:20] <PhiAlpha> airtonix: Not getting asked anything
[06:20] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJALOU1: is that with no encryption on the WiFi ?
[06:20] <Daps> how do i do that?
[06:20] <Flannel> Daps: log in with boss, and give administration power to zidaps
[06:20] <badfish> Flannel: please say something that will make me talk to you as something other than a bot
[06:20] <airtonix> PhiAlpha, and when you login to the same point from your mac? are you asked to login?
[06:20] <PhiAlpha> IntuitiveNipple: The ubuntu pc is a member of the same workgroup...I do not know how to set up domains and haven't needed to on any of the other computers
[06:20] <jamus> badfish: i guess setting a root\ superuser pass sould make it harder - thats what i did and forgot my pass unfortunatly :S
[06:20] <Daps> ok, brb
[06:20] <Flannel> badfish: Take bot reports to #ubuntu-ops, not here.
[06:20] <FAJALOU1> IntuitiveNipple:  i can't turn it off -.-
[06:20] <IntuitiveNipple> PhiAlpha: check the logs in /var/log/samba/ for clues
[06:20] <PhiAlpha> Airtonix: yes
[06:20] <FAJALOU1> but this is connected through the encryption
[06:20] <Flannel> jamus: No, setting a root password is a bad idea.
[06:20] <vgambit> FAJALOU1, I tried super grub disk again to see if I could boot into linux, and this time it gave a more verbose error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS
[06:21] <badfish> Flannel: that isn't what i said
[06:21] <natha1> is there a way to extend my taskbar to my second screen?
[06:21] <ushimitsudoki> !ot | badfish
[06:21] <Flannel> badfish: Stop talking about them here, take it elsewhere.
[06:21] <natha1> like ultramon for windows
[06:21] <airtonix> PhiAlpha, then i suggest restarting your ubuntu and try to login properly from ubuntu
[06:21] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJALOU1: maybe the kernel driver on the other PC can't support WPA/WPA2, and that is what the WiFi router is using
[06:21] <PhiAlpha> Intuitivenipple: I don't know how to check out the logs...what shoudl I look for?
[06:21] <FAJALOU1> IntuitiveNipple:  i plugged in another wifi usb card; connects right up
[06:21] <IMaverick> i have installed xp in vbox 2.0.2 in ubuntu host ... and also GuestAddition but still cant get in full screen mode in my laptop.... any solutions
[06:21] <ianq> anyone knows why it's been sitting at "GRUB loading, please wait..." for like 5 minutes? bad sign? nothing to worry about? safe to reboot?
[06:21] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJALOU1: sounds like the driver then... what is the device that is having problems?
[06:21] <turtles1> On my  ubuntu 8.04 install something keeps opening new firefox windows every few minutes or so. is there a log I can look at to see what's triggering firefox to open?
[06:21] <PhiAlpha> airtonix: When yous ay login from Ubuntu what do you mean?  How would I do that...sign in as ubuntu?  I am the only "admin" on this computer.  BTW...new to linux/ubuntu in general
[06:22] <FAJALOU1> D-Link Wifi cardnotebook;  using ndiswrapper
[06:22] <badfish> Flannel: who are you?
[06:22] <brandonmpace> vgambit: that usually means that your partition it´s trying to boot from is too far down the line
[06:22] <IntuitiveNipple> PhiAlpha: It's a case of using your eyes and looking for clues
[06:22] <FAJALOU1> trying to connect to it now
[06:22] <airtonix> PhiAlpha, becauase i am using 8.04 and my firs attempt to access a windows share required me to enter a username and password
[06:22] <badfish> ubottu: i knew you were a bot a year ago
[06:22] <jamus> Flannel:  well i guessed that by restricting acceses  u sould help such issues but its just commun sense and no tech knowhow
[06:22] <vgambit> alright brandonmpace
[06:22] <brandonmpace> vgambit: where is grub installed, if it is
[06:22] <vgambit> is there any way to boot from the first partition into the second partition?
[06:22] <PhiAlpha> okay
[06:22] <PhiAlpha> I will reboot and try
[06:22] <PhiAlpha> I hope to not see you guys in a few
[06:22] <PhiAlpha> ;)
[06:22] <vgambit> or put the MBR on the first partition instead of the second?
[06:22] <airtonix> PhiAlpha, what i mean by ubuntu is your ubuntu machine.
[06:22] <jamus> Flannel:  now that u point it it is a lame idea -- uups
[06:23] <Flannel> jamus: You can still fix it.  You have an account that can sudo, right?
[06:23] <PhiAlpha> airtonix: gotcha
[06:23] <brandonmpace> vgambit: put grub on the mbr and it should fix the problem, did it work before?
[06:23] <PhiAlpha> I am trying...not asking for anything
[06:23] <PhiAlpha> brb...I'll try again
[06:23] <airtonix> PhiAlpha, if you not getting a username/password prompt when your trying to access the windows machine then it means that your still in hte guest session...
[06:23] <jamus> Flannel:  yeap
[06:23] <Malformation> everyone using Ubuntu you should use chmod -r 777 /
[06:23] <Flannel> jamus: sudo passwd -l root
[06:23] <Malformation> at some point in their lives
[06:23] <FAJALOU1> IntuitiveNipple: Rangebooster N Notebook adapter:  DWA-642
[06:23] <Flannel> !danger | Malformation
[06:23] <Vezir> how do i select what sound daemon to use?
[06:23] <Vezir> i'm trying to run KDE4
[06:23] <vgambit> it never worked
[06:24] <gonzaloaf_laptop> hello, can you tell me why sometimes I cannot play any sound (mp3 files) on my system? I usually use amarok, but the problem persists with another players
[06:24] <vgambit> brandonmpace, I'm not sure how to install grub to the mbr
[06:24] <brandonmpace> do you have any data on the ubuntu partition that you really need to keep?
[06:24] <FAJALOU1> i can connect with a usb atheros card, not with the above one
[06:24] <vgambit> no, only the windows partition
[06:24] <IntuitiveNipple> Flannel: how about chmood -r 666 ? :p (read it *carefully*)
[06:24] <vgambit> I just installed ubuntu, and I have yet to actually boot into it
[06:24] <nogagplz> vgambit: grub-install /dev/hdx ?
[06:25] <vgambit> if I use super grub disc I can boot through that into windows
[06:25] <Flannel> IntuitiveNipple: still best not to do silly things like that.
[06:25] <vgambit> from the ubuntu live disc, I take it?
[06:25] <Malformation> !danger vgambit
[06:25] <nogagplz> not sure, haven't used it in a long while.
[06:25] <Malformation> awwww
[06:25] <cyban> chmod -r 777 dangerious? I think someones playing with the ubuntu bot :P
[06:25] <brandonmpace> vgambit: re install ubuntu and somewhere along the way you will see an advanced button or something like that i think. You just need to tell it to install grub to the mbr
[06:25] <Malformation> chmood
[06:25] <ianq> anyone knows why it's been sitting at "GRUB loading, please wait..." for like 5 minutes? bad sign? nothing to worry about? safe to reboot?
[06:26] <Orian1701> venger: im confused about how to get these programs workin... (me = linux noob)
[06:26] <Flannel> cyban: Please don't repeat that.
[06:26] <Malformation> wats that do
[06:26] <brandonmpace> vgambit: it will work i promise lol i learned that lesson
[06:26] <cyban> Flannel - do me a favor
[06:26] <vgambit> lol ok
[06:26] <jamus> Flannel:  it says pass changed but when invuked su it fails authentication
[06:26] <Malformation> chmod is a dangerous tool if u misuse it on ubuntu
[06:26] <cyban> Go to gnome-look.org install a few Themes
[06:26] <cyban> Even they require permission changes
[06:26] <Flannel> jamus: You locked your root account, so that's true.  Don't use su.
[06:27] <Flannel> cyban: I fail to see your point.  And this is offtopic.
[06:27] <brandonmpace> lol I wanna try that in a vm Flannel. so that I can see how bad it is. I forget what 777 does
[06:27] <Daps> Flannel: i am back on as Boss
[06:27] <Malformation> RWX
[06:27] <Malformation> read write and view i think
[06:27] <Malformation> for all users
[06:27] <ushimitsudoki> cyban: the person called for the chmod on root.  read the line and understand the problem
[06:27] <Flannel> Malformation: Do you have a support question? or are you just here to cause trouble?
[06:27] <P041NX> turtles1: pasted in pastebin.. U still there?
[06:27] <Malformation> so when it goes onto the root "sudo"
[06:27] <airtonix> cyban, any theme that requires you to change permisisions should be held with suspicion
[06:27] <cyban> Flannel - well telling people changing permissions is dangerious is kinda ridiculous
[06:27] <brandonmpace> Malformation: so you wouldn´t be able to log in
[06:27] <jamus> Flannel:  is there any way to get root acces in order to perform ops that need that ?
[06:28] <vgambit> brandonmpace will I have to manually set up the partitions, then?
[06:28] <Malformation> no flannel, im just discussing why it's a bad command
[06:28] <Malformation> yes brandon
[06:28] <vgambit> before I had done a guided/automatic setup by telling it to fill in the empty space
[06:28] <IntuitiveNipple> ushimitsudoki: BUT... there was no sudo so it would have failed
[06:28] <brandonmpace> you might have to vgambit
[06:28] <Flannel> jamus: You'd use sudo.  You shouldn't need anything else.
[06:28] <Flannel> IntuitiveNipple: no, it wouldn't have.
[06:28] <cyban> airtonix, Overglossed - have to chmod the theme to use the background because the way the instructions are wrote
[06:28] <brandonmpace> vgambit: that is usually best
[06:28] <IntuitiveNipple> Flannel: It did here
[06:28] <Orian1701> How can i make a macro in ubuntu?  that i could click on and exicute?
[06:28] <Malformation> i used the chmod with 777 when i got frustrated at the ubuntu sudo command
[06:28] <Malformation> i learnt my lesson.
[06:28] <ushimitsudoki> IntuitiveNipple: the type of person that would try that command would probably try sudo. it's dumb and the person should rightfully have been kicked. EOT on it for me
[06:28] <FAJALOU1> IntuitiveNipple:  i feel really stupid; i didn't lspci it so i installed ndiswrapper to run it; it prolly is atheros itself, so all i needed was madwifi -.-
[06:28] <Flannel> Daps: Alright, go to users and groups, and give your other account admin access
[06:28] <airtonix> cyban, since when does a wallpaper need to have its permissions changed to live in my home folder?
[06:29] <brandonmpace> lol @ Malformation
[06:29] <pan_> how do we check what version of nm-applet we have?
[06:29] <Malformation> lol @ myself
[06:29] <Malformation> xD
[06:29] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJALOU1: doh!!!
[06:29] <cyban> airtonix, try it ;) follow the instructions
[06:29] <ethana2> How do I install Sun Java in Ubuntu?  It looks like i have it now, but it's using open class libraries that aren't working right
[06:29] <Daps> i can't
[06:29] <ethana2> I want to use all sun code
[06:29] <jamus> Flannel:  i tryed to sudo aptitude upgrade and needed superuser account
[06:29] <Flannel> IntuitiveNipple: that's for different reasons.  -r vs -R, but even without sudo it'll screw up your homedir.
[06:29] <Daps> it won't let me click in the box
[06:29] <brandonmpace> I love linux, you learn stuff all the time
[06:29] <Flannel> jamus: Yes, you used sudo.
[06:29] <Prose> I'm totally flagablasterd, I just learned about ssh -X user@server!
[06:29] <pan_> yup
[06:29] <Malformation> funny how after i admit i used chmod, ushuimitsudoki starts saying whoever uses that is stupid
[06:29] <brandonmpace> lol
[06:29] <Flannel> Malformation: please stop.   EOT on it from me. muted.
[06:31] <Winston_SmithVT> Whats a good place to learn about permissions?
[06:31] <ethana2> P041NX: many thanks, I was about to give up hope due to noise

[06:31] <FAJALOU1> IntuitiveNipple:  it doesn't show up in hardware drivers, isn't it supposed to?
[06:31] <Winston_SmithVT> Flannel: Thanks
[06:31] <Daps> so what can i do flannel? it won't let me administer the system
[06:31] <Malformation> what's EOT mean?
[06:31] <FAJALOU1> or is ndiswrapper's module for it canceling it out?
[06:31] <Flannel> Daps: As boss?
[06:31] <Omlette> Is this a good channel for Pidgin questions?
[06:31] <Daps> yes
[06:32] <jamus> Flannel:  it invokes dpkg and when i dp iit says dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege
[06:32] <Orian1701> Anyone know how to make a macro for ubuntu that i could execute via an icon?   If I see a cell phone icon next to a buddy's icon, as well as a regular service - MSN, AIM - icon in the Buddy List, does that mean my buddy is signed on with their phone?
[06:32] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> OMG
[06:32] <Daps> i cannot click into the box that will give me that privelege
[06:32] <ushimitsudoki> Omlette: #pidgin is probably better
[06:32] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> FUCK YEAH
[06:32] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> pardon my french
[06:32] <Flannel> Daps: Try going to a terminal and doing this: sudo adduser zidaps admin
[06:32] <FAJALOU1> !language
[06:32] <Flannel> Yekyaa[Ubuntu]: Please don't do that again.
[06:32] <ethana2> We will not pardon your french.
[06:32] <FAJALOU1> IntuitiveNipple:  dang,  shouldn't it show up in hardware drivers?
[06:32] <Flannel> jamus: When you did "sudo aptitude upgrade"?
[06:33] <ZKAT8IT> firefox no longer launches, it remains in the system monitor but doesnt appear on screen and the only way i know to fix it is to restart, is there a way to fix it without restarting?
[06:33] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJALOU1: which "it" ?
[06:33] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> sorry about that
[06:33] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> i was just excited, i'm not running through vmware
[06:33] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> i'm live finally :)
[06:33] <IntuitiveNipple> ZKAT8IT: "killall firefox" will kill the process so you can start Firefox again
[06:33] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> i used this one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff
[06:33] <gnutoit2> what is a good terminal app with color ansi support?
[06:33] <FAJALOU1> the d-link   Network controller: Atheros Communications INc.  AR5416 802.11abgn Wireless PCI adapter (rev 01) the one we are trying to get to work
[06:33] <Daps> it added Zidaps as an Admin
[06:33] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> in case anyone is having trouble with broadcom wireless
[06:34] <jamus> Flannel: just now i tried to fix bad kernel update 9nvidia card messed up bad)
[06:34] <FAJALOU1> !bcm
[06:34] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> my problem was the module=ssb  issue
[06:34] <airtonix> cyban, every instruction i see therer can be replaced with paths that are in your home folder
[06:34] <Flannel> Daps: So, now "groups zidaps" shows admin?
[06:34] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> that's why it wasn't working
[06:34]  * Orian1701 will give cookie for macro help. :D
[06:34] <ZKAT8IT> o_O umm.. apparently terminal fails to launch also
[06:34] <Daps> this is what shows up
[06:34] <Daps> zidaps adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin admin
[06:34] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> now, to restart really and start playing with my desktop, i finally got the nvidia driver installed successfully :)
[06:34] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJALOU1: have you seen this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4140239&postcount=1
[06:34] <jamus> Flannel: i didnt log on for some while so i forgot my super hard and complex pass for root :S
[06:35] <Flannel> Daps: alright, now log out of boss, and back into zidaps, and you'll be able to use sudo (and remove boss)
[06:35] <ZKAT8IT> it launches but had a white screen then dimmed like its failing to recieve a signal
[06:35] <cyban> airtonix, ya you can install it a few ways - but if you follow those then you chmod, easiest way - I would be willing to bet 75% of the people who come here wont see directions like that and know to modify the instructions ;)
[06:35] <Daps> ok, brb
[06:35] <Flannel> jamus: You don't need to know your root password.  Just your user password.
[06:35] <airtonix> cyban, why follow those instructions when putting the various pieces in my home folders works and is safer
[06:35] <FAJALOU1> IntuitiveNipple:  this is the one i am looking at : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=348918&highlight=D-Link+DWA-642
[06:36] <FAJALOU1> a little outdated but,,, if madwifi can get it to work :D
[06:36] <FAJALOU1> b/c i haven't tried madwifi yet (as it is what you are supposed to use with atheros)
[06:36] <cyban> airtonix, what percentage of people who come here for help after installing something like that would know that to begin with?
[06:36] <Nix3r> how to show '' downloaded'' tab in ktorrent ? the tab that shows all the downloaded things.
[06:36] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJALOU1: whats the device id? (lspci -nn)
[06:36] <cyban> airtonix, and for that matter if you do already know that you likely have su unlocked anyway heh
[06:36] <airtonix> cyban, anyone whose not a headless chicken
[06:37] <jamus> Flannel: ok  i think i can figure it out using forums and stuff but it became an issue on its own -- can i retrieve my root pass any how?
[06:37] <FAJALOU1> IntuitiveNipple:  ummmm, two show up:  0280  and 168c:0023
[06:37] <IntuitiveNipple> jamus: You can reset it
[06:37] <gonzaloaf_laptop> hello, can you tell me why sometimes I cannot play any sound (mp3 files) on my system? I usually use amarok, but the problem persists with another players
[06:37] <brandonmpace> FAJALOU1: mad wifi will work with atheros on ubuntu 8.04 but first you might have to plug in with an ethernet cord and get all the latest updates, that´s what I had to do
[06:37] <Flannel> jamus: No.  passwords aren't recoverable, only resettable.  But again, you shouldn't have a root password.  Lock your root account.
[06:37] <Dap1> Flannel, i did sudo userdel boss, and got back "user boss does not exist.. yet its still in there
[06:37] <cyban> airtonix, I think you are reading the wrong channel - I see a lot of people come here for beginner questions
[06:37] <airtonix> cyban, see my point is if you knew...you wouldnt be anywhere near su or sudo when installing themes
[06:37] <FAJALOU1> brandonmpace:  i am using ndiswrapper right now with a different wifi card
[06:37] <Orian1701> gonzaloaf_laptop: they aren't DRM are they?
[06:37] <Flannel> Dap1: what makes you think its still there?
[06:37] <brandonmpace> FAJALOU1: ah ok
[06:38] <airtonix> cyban, or even chmod
[06:38] <FAJALOU1> gotta love the universal ndiswrapper :D
[06:38] <gonzaloaf_laptop> Orian1701, DRM ?
[06:38] <Dap1> the user switch icon by the internet connection icon, by the speaker volume icon top right
[06:38] <cyban> airtonix, if you knew then you know what to do and what not to - if you didnt then you follow instructions, it breaks, they come here and want it fixed - fastest way to fix it is chmod the theme folder
[06:38] <Dap1> boss is still there
[06:38] <Flannel> Dap1: Ah.  That may read the users available when you log in and cache that information or something.
[06:38] <Orian1701> gonzaloaf:  Are the files DRM protected (ie did you buy them online and they have a lisence on them?)
[06:39] <usser> anybody have intel wifi cards?
[06:39] <sarthor_> i booting my laptop from live CD, how to install grub now. confused, i read this link but the results are not same.   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[06:39] <usser> err card?
[06:39] <cyban> If you think theres a faster way let me know (Post install following the instructions)
[06:39] <Orian1701> (license)
[06:39] <Dap1> so i should restart to clear the cache?
[06:39] <armornick> hey guys, is there a way to do a customized ubuntu install? (i.e. you choose which programs are installed)
[06:39] <gonzaloaf_laptop> Orian1701, nop,,,,,no they are not DRM
[06:39] <IMaverick> how could i remove a package and all other package it depends on from comman line
[06:39] <jamus> Flannel,IntuitiveNipple: just becouse when i set up my old kernel i was asked for root acces at some point
[06:39] <brandonmpace> gonzaloaf_laptop: did you install the restricted extras package? I think it´s ubuntu restricted extras if you search for it
[06:40] <gonzaloaf_laptop> brandonmpace, If I log out and log in again
[06:40] <Flannel> jamus: You shouldn't ever have been asked for root access.  Ubuntu does not use the root login at all.
[06:40] <Luis> :-D
[06:40] <Luis> holas
[06:40] <gonzaloaf_laptop> brandonmpace, If I log out and log in again I will be able to play mp3 files again, it weird
[06:40] <ushimitsudoki> IMaverick: did you try "sudo apt-get remove <package>"? You may need to autoclean afterwards?
[06:40] <IntuitiveNipple> jamus: The usual way is to boot from a LiveCD/Flash stick and then change it without the file-system being live.
[06:40] <Flannel> Dap1: I'd imagine it would.  I'm not really sure how fast user switcher works.  But yes, it should.
[06:40] <jamus> Flannel,IntuitiveNipple: everything works fine but desktop effects and stuff like that (with wich i wanna show oof my ubu
[06:40] <vgambit> as far as partitioning, would this be alright? p1: windows, p2: ext3, p3: 1.5 gb linux swap
[06:40] <brandonmpace> gonzaloaf_laptop: if you install vlc media player it has a lot of dependencies that are codecs
[06:40] <brandonmpace> gonzaloaf_laptop: see if that help
[06:40] <brandonmpace> helps*

[06:41] <airtonix> cyban, well i just downloaded that theme and in five steps had it all up and running...not one use of terminal
[06:41] <remitaylor> i've been using wireless with my laptop (worked out of the box) for awhile and now ... the wireless doesn't even show up any more.  network-manager no longer has any options for wireless!!!  any ideas?
[06:41] <airtonix> cyban, not sure where you get your information on installing themes
[06:41] <brandonmpace> gonzaloaf_laptop: hmm, is the package in synaptic that is called gstreamer installed?
[06:41] <jamus> sarthor_:  install ubu maybe?
[06:42] <Orian1701> Can anyone help me find a way to make a macro in Ubuntu?  I would like to exicute a keyboard combo via an icon/shortcut
[06:42] <gonzaloaf_laptop> brandonmpace, yes
[06:42] <cyban> airtonix, did it change the background pic?
[06:42] <sarthor_> ubu? you means total ubunut??
[06:42] <jamus> sarthor_:  live cd sould have that option
[06:42] <FAJALOU1> IntuitiveNipple:  anythoughts?
[06:42] <cyban> because I happen to know if you followed the directions to a T it didnt
[06:42] <cyban> or your loged in as root, ether or
[06:42] <brandonmpace> gonzaloaf_laptop: i´ve had weird problems like this too, but never with ubuntu...
[06:42] <cbx33> hey people
[06:42] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJALOU1: no, off to bed here now its dawn
[06:42] <cbx33> anyone a tc expert here?
[06:42] <FAJALOU1> o lol ok IntuitiveNipple thanks for you help
[06:42] <airtonix> cyban, i just dragged that in via the nautilus wallpapper changer...five steps
[06:43] <remitaylor> remitaylor: i only took me a minute to figure out my own question ... after someone borrows your laptop, check to see that wireless is still enabled (the radio) ... nm!
[06:43] <IntuitiveNipple> FAJALOU1: good luck
[06:43] <FAJALOU1> thx
[06:43] <gonzaloaf_laptop> brandonmpace, how can I solve it? I think the problem is sound mixing
[06:43] <gonzaloaf_laptop> HOw can I check if sound mixing is enabled?
[06:43] <jamus> sarthor_:  not really u sould be able to double boot it with windows it does not clash if in differend drive (requiers some work but worth)
[06:43] <Guest15523> how do I register my nickname?
[06:43] <brandonmpace> gonzaloaf_laptop: can you get it to play at all? if so which media players play it?
[06:43] <cyban> airtonix, like I said had to change things
[06:44] <Guest15523> NickServ
[06:44] <Flannel> !register | Guest15523
[06:44] <Guest15523> thanks!
[06:44] <Orian1701> ok everyone.  Thx for trying to help.  Its late.  A job for another day :D
[06:44] <gonzaloaf_laptop> brandonmpace, I use amarok, but try totem and rythmbox
[06:44]  * Orian1701 waves bye. :)
[06:45] <brandonmpace> gonzaloaf_laptop: so amarok can play mp3´s?
[06:45] <jamus> sarthor_:  yeap i mean total ubunt install on drive
[06:45] <FAJALOU1> brandonmpace:  yes
[06:45] <Daps> Flannel it worked :D
[06:45] <sarthor_> jamus.. when i apply the command "find /boot/grub/stage1" , its says "Error 15 File not found"
[06:45] <gonzaloaf_laptop> brandonmpace, yes... but not right now
[06:45] <Daps> thanks a bunch.... what was that command again though ?
[06:45] <airtonix> cyban, in those five steps...i didnt use terminal
[06:45] <Daps> sudo what..? to make me admin...
[06:45] <gonzaloaf_laptop> brandonmpace, even radios
[06:45] <jamus> sarthor_: if u wanna run it trough windows u have wubi version which has a win install file
[06:45] <airtonix> cyban, in those five steps...i didnt change permissions
[06:45] <Flannel> Daps: admin to do what?
[06:46] <Guest15523> holy cow...what's a DoS kiddie?
[06:46] <brandonmpace> gonzaloaf_laptop: go into synaptic under administration and uninstall totem and install totem-xine
[06:46] <Daps> to delete boss, remember i had to gain admin status
[06:46] <cyban> airtonix, you still cant use the Theme tho can you - it asks to enable the background etc etc and it wont do it
[06:46] <brandonmpace> gonzaloaf_laptop: you can only do this if you have medibuntu i think
[06:46] <sarthor_> jamus, right now i only want to boot my hardy only.
[06:46] <jamus> sarthor_: of course - its a live cd its not on ur system
[06:46] <Flannel> Daps: That wasn't to delete boss.  That was to add zidap to the admin group.  sudo adduser user admin
[06:46] <vgambit> alright, I'm not sure how to go about partitioning my hard drive
[06:46] <gonzaloaf_laptop> brandonmpace, what for?
[06:47] <FAJALOU1> vgambit:  use the gparted cd
[06:47] <FAJALOU1> it's much easier
[06:47] <Daps> thanks ya :D
[06:47] <vgambit> right now I have a windows partition and about half a drive worth of free space
[06:47] <Flannel> vgambit: That'll work fine, yes.  Although you might want a separate homedir.
[06:47] <cyban> But, chmod 777 quick fix - or spend half an hour explaining why, how to drag the desktop into the background and so on - telling people chmod or other common commands is dumb I stick to that point - and lots of commands can be dangerious if used wrong
[06:47] <brandonmpace> gonzaloaf_laptop: that makes totem able to play mp3´s using the xine backend.
[06:47] <vgambit> right now I need to know what exactly to do (as far as partition changing/creation) in order to boot from the first partition into either windows or linux
[06:48] <jamus> vgambit:  ushould give /root gb  gig and swap 2 gb
[06:48] <jayde_drag0n> is anyone here using Ibexd yet? i have a graphics issue i need assistance with
[06:48] <Flannel> cyban: Which is why we don't say stupid commands in this channel.
[06:48] <gonzaloaf_laptop> brandonmpace, what am I using now?
[06:48] <jayde_drag0n> er ibex
[06:48] <Flannel> jayde_drag0n: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid support, thanks.
[06:48] <jamus> vgambit:  ushould give /root10  gb  gig and swap 2 gb*****
[06:48] <brandonmpace> gonzaloaf_laptop: I think gstreamer
[06:48] <gonzaloaf_laptop> brandonmpace, in amarok says xine engine
[06:48] <cyban> Flannel, come Admin my AIX and LIN servers without chmod, su, or sudo lol
[06:48] <jayde_drag0n> Flannel: thank you
[06:48] <vgambit> after reading a bunch of guides, the current plan is to slide the windows partition over a bit, create a new 100 mb partition before it, then create the linux/swap partitions after the windows partition
[06:48] <jamus> vgambit:  and it should work good
[06:49] <brandonmpace> vgambit: All you really need is one giant / partition and a /home partition of a decent size
[06:49] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> alright, now
[06:49] <FAJALOU1> brandonmpace:  it depends on how much RAM
[06:49] <vgambit> I also need to know how to install grub to that 100 mb partition using the ubuntu live cd installer
[06:49] <Yekyaa[Ubuntu]> new issue ^^  nvidia accelerated drivers were installed, i rebooted, and it took me to some old gnome main screen for detecting my display
[06:49] <cyban> If you have to be ignorent of your system to use it safely then your on the wrong OS IMO even if its a simplified version of Linux
[06:49] <vgambit> I'm guessing that 100 mb partition needs to be ext3, right?
[06:50] <FAJALOU1> what is the 100 mb for?
[06:50] <brandonmpace> gonzaloaf_laptop: and you said amarok plays mp3´s so why not use the xine backend on totem and try that?
[06:50] <Gnea> vgambit: what's the mountpoint?
[06:50] <vgambit> btw Flannel oneal is a spam bot
[06:50] <jamus> vgambit:  use gparted live cd and create 60 gb for win 10 gb for /root and 2gb for  swap and the rest as symbiotic drive between the 2
[06:50] <vgambit> Gnea, for what?
[06:50] <brandonmpace> FAJALOU1: I am aware of this I just spaced it off for the moment lol
