 Thanks :) It works now.
[11:08] <SitUbuntuSit> issa_, great!
 What about firefox?
[11:09] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: f: and c: are not ubuntu terms. Could you please pastebin the output of the following command?:   sudo fdisk -l
[11:09] <HeLpEe> issa_ not working too
[11:09] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey ok.
[11:10] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey you wont know by that. coz i have 5 fate partisitions.
 Why?
[11:10] <DistroJockey> heh
 install opera.
[11:10] <HeLpEe> issa_ DistroJockey its sda7 that has windows
[11:11] <noob-africa> DistroJockey: i managed to get the sound card working... i used Alsamixer from the terminal... worked super!
[11:11] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: I don't think windows likes being past the first 1024 cylinders
[11:11] <DistroJockey> noob-africa: excellent :)
[11:12] <DistroJockey> !install | HeLpEe
[11:12] <ubotu> HeLpEe: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate
[11:13] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey  I don't think windows likes being past the first 1024 cylinders  ???/
[11:14] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: if it's installed after cylinder 1024 on the HDD it probably won't work (going from memory here, so I could be wrong. Look it up maybe?)
[11:14] <wica> Hello
[11:14] <gogstad> i can't seem to find a package i universe.. "opencv" to be specific
[11:14] <gogstad> http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/gutsy/opencv
[11:14] <gogstad> any suggestions?
[11:15] <wica> I'm trying to setup a mail server. But can not find anywhere cyrus-imapd/deliver
[11:15] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: sudo aptitude install pastebinit    will install the pastebin that you can pipe ( | ) to if you don't have a browser
[11:15] <wica> And I have install kolab-cyrus-imap
[11:15] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey you mean if you are right. windows should be install in c: only
[11:15] <HeLpEe> ?
[11:15] <MatBoy> doessomeone know a way using netstat -a to print the full Foreign Address ?
[11:15] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey got it . http://pastebin.com/mef9230d
[11:15] <joep> Hello. DOes anybody know how to get ubuntu 7.10 to make sound? The correct module is loaded (emu10k1) and a lot of other modules but aplay says no cards found soundcontrol cannot be opened. It is a standard ubuntu freshly installed. Fedora does sound without a problem.
[11:16] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: yeah, just depends where the c: and f: are on the disk I guess
[11:16] <HeLpEe> http://pastebin.com/mef9230d
[11:16] <MatBoy> joep, ubuntu does even better ;)
[11:16] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey ok.
[11:17] <joep> Matboy: what do you mean??
[11:17] <MatBoy> joep, the integration of packages in Ubuntu is one of a kind
[11:17] <HeLpEe> can linux be installed on a logical partitions whos primary partition is a fat partition?
[11:18] <joep> MAtboy: meaning it works or it doesn't??
[11:18] <MatBoy> joep, it does, out of the box
[11:18]  * HeLpEe waits for DistroJockey
[11:18] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: try adding this:   http://pastebin.com/m6aeb2e88
[11:19] <joep> Matboy: so not!! As I said although all modules are loaded lplay doesn't recognize the available soundacrds.
 Even if so, why do you need that?
[11:19] <MatBoy> joep, lplay ?
[11:19] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: that's to reference sda7
[11:19] <MatBoy> what soundcard ?
[11:19] <joep> MAttboy: sorry, aplay!
[11:20] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: eek, sec
[11:20] <HeLpEe> issa_ i dont know how to partition my drive to run xp and ububntu in  a good way.
[11:20] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey ?
[11:21] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: root          (hd0,6)    < should be that for sda7
[11:21] <aeolist> hi i am trying to install 8.04 daily, i need to resize the ntfs partition what should i answer to "prepare disk space" step 4
[11:21] <aeolist> guided - use entire disk?
[11:22] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey ok. let me reboot
[11:22] <DistroJockey> aeolist: do you have a complete backup?
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> hey all
[11:22] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: nods
[11:22] <DistroJockey> heyya ActionParsnip
[11:22] <Paavi2_0> aeolist: i wouldn't do it
[11:22] <aeolist> DistroJockey: yeah...
[11:22] <aeolist> you wouldnt do an ntfs resize?
[11:22] <aeolist> i've done it in 6.10 with success...
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> bored at work, its all working fine and Ive got 4 hours to go :(
 Use fat or ntfs for windows, better to have it on C or any first partition on the top, and then install ubuntu using any free space for swap partition (size 2* your memory) and create ext3 for linux, 5GB at least
[11:23] <Schypher_> hi how do i run an application in gnome with elevated permission ?
[11:23] <DistroJockey> aeolist: defrag'd windows?
[11:23] <issa_> That's the best way.
[11:23] <aeolist> not completely... ntfsresize can move file afaik
[11:23] <omnz0r> ActionParsnip:  do rm -rf / :D (don't)
[11:23] <Paavi2_0> aeolist: ntfs-resize i would do - but use the whole disk _not_
[11:23] <jpatrick> omnz0r: please don't type that
[11:23] <DistroJockey> ActionParsnip: ahh, I spend the day at work doing IT support, now I'm here helping where I can :)
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> omnz0r: I know dude. it wont do too much as you dont have admin access
[11:23] <joep> Matboy are you still there?
[11:23] <aeolist> man, i remember that 6.10 asked you to resize the partition, is that option still available in the ubuntu installer?
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> sudo rm -rf / is a whole different kettle of fish
[11:24] <aeolist> http://foss.ntua.gr/wiki/images/thumb/Ubuntu_step5.jpg/180px-Ubuntu_step5.jpg
[11:24] <aeolist> like this
[11:24] <DistroJockey> aeolist: not sure, I never do it
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> omnz0r: you could do: yes > ~/bigfile.txt ;)
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> DistroJockey: I keep servers runing overnight for americans
[11:24] <omnz0r> I made a daemon for it, runs all the time
[11:24] <DistroJockey> ActionParsnip: :)
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> omnz0r: or if you want a slow pc: yes > /dev/null ;)
[11:25] <DistroJockey> aeolist: what sort of install cd do you have?
[11:25] <aeolist> i have the hardy-desktop thing

[11:25] <DistroJockey> aeolist: maybe  gparted  is worth using first?
[11:26] <aeolist> oook :)
[11:26] <aeolist> gparted it is
[11:26] <DistroJockey> aeolist: probably the best bet
[11:26] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey invalid something....... not working.
[11:26] <aeolist> didnt know gparted had ntfsresize
[11:26] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey and i cant mound a drive too.

[11:30] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey ..
[11:30] <Rageon> !medibuntu
[11:30] <ubotu> medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[11:30] <Jaymac> morpheus: if you type xmms2 in a terminal does it start?
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> aeolist: where in the options please?
[11:30] <morpheus> well ,moment i try it
[11:30] <Ziroday> morpheus: open a terminal and type in xmms or xmms2
[11:30] <morpheus> ok thx moment
[11:30] <aeolist> ActionParsnip: not on pidgin atm sorry
[11:30] <Jaymac> morpheus: if so, just go to System > Preferences > Main Menu and add an entry for it manually...
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> ok cool, i'll google
[11:31] <Jaymac> ActionParsnip: what's your pidgin issue?
[11:31] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: personally I'd rebuild the drive :)
[11:31] <Rageon> anyone tell me how i add it please?
[11:31] <Rageon> like the addy?
[11:31] <mattycoze2> hi everyone I'm in real crap right now, can someone please help me to correct a problem with my pc
[11:31] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey why.
[11:31] <Jaymac> Rageon: go to medibuntu.org and follow the instructions
[11:32] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey and i have data in 3 fat partitions too.
[11:32] <morpheus> no Jaymac only get a list of avaible commands
[11:32] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey and i cant mount sda8 . it says already mounted.
[11:32] <morpheus> no start
[11:32] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: you have 5 bootable fat32 dpartitions?
[11:32] <Ziroday> Hi, I am having some issues with suspend and the asus eee. After suspending to disk my brightness is turned up to max and I cannot turn it down. As well as network manager refusing to connect to any wireless networks
[11:32] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey whats wrong
[11:32] <morpheus> does i have to be root?
[11:32] <Jaymac> morpheus: it probably didn't install then, no you don't have to be root
[11:32] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey dpartitions? they are not bootable i think
[11:32] <Jaymac> morpheus: type sudo aptitude install xmms2
[11:32] <mattycoze2> hey everone; 've turned the pc on and I have to do a fsck and it failed, so now i've been logged into a maintanence shell, what is going on?
[11:33] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: partitions sorry, d was a typo
[11:33] <morpheus> ok thx i try
[11:33] <mallory> hello folks.
[11:33] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey they are not bootable i think
[11:33] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey whats wrong
[11:33] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: I could be wrong there
[11:33] <Ziroday> mattycoze2: in the command shell run the command 'fsck'
[11:33] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey and i cant mount sda8 . it says already mounted.
[11:34] <Jaymac> ActionParsnip: I think the pidgin irc client is quite basic; you'd probably need a plugin to do that.  I'd suggest you try xchat as an alternative IRC client.. It is much more customisable
[11:34] <cpk1> HeLpEe: then see what the output of "mount" says
[11:34] <mattycoze2> Ziroday okay, i am apparently logged in as root and it's doing something now
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> Jaymac: I want to configure pidgi so i dont get themessages about people joining and leaving the room
[11:34] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: can you pastebin the output of the following please?:   mount
[11:34] <mattycoze2> i don't understand why this has happened?
[11:34] <cpk1> HeLpEe: the output of mount should tell you where sda8 is mounted
[11:34] <sebastian> how can i play dvd movies in Ubuntu 7.10? I'm  rather new to linux
[11:34] <DistroJockey> cpk1: hehe, beat me ;)
[11:34] <HeLpEe> cpk1 DistroJockey The system reported: mount: /dev/sda8 already mounted or /media/sda8Raw busy
[11:34] <HeLpEe> mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda8 is mounted on /media/sda7Win
[11:34] <Jaymac> !medibuntu | sebastian
[11:34] <ubotu> sebastian: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[11:34] <mattycoze2> is it fixable? is there a way i can get all my important files off the pc using this shell?
[11:34] <Ziroday> mattycoze2: correct the maintenance shell is a root shell, the command fsck checks your filesystem for errors
[11:34] <morpheus> no it doesnt work i still get a list in the terminal with commands..but xmms1 starts with no problems
[11:35] <cpk1> HeLpEe:  so can you "cd /media/sda7Win"
[11:35] <Jaymac> sebastian: go to medibuntu.org, follow the instructions to enable the repositor.  Then type sudo aptitude install libdvdread3 libdvdcss2 totem-xine
[11:35] <Ziroday> mattycoze2: your system may be working just fine, let fsck finish its job
[11:35] <HeLpEe> cpk1 sda7win is already a seperat partition having windows in it
[11:35] <mattycoze2> okay then thanks Ziroday, i'll keep you posted
[11:35] <cpk1> HeLpEe: /media/sda7Win is not an actual physical drive
[11:35] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: and can you read it?
[11:36] <HeLpEe> cpk1 yes. its not
[11:36] <Ziroday> mattycoze2: no worries, has happened to me before and it is not fun ")
[11:36] <morpheus> no it doesnt work i still get a list in the terminal with commands..but xmms1 starts with no problems
[11:36] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey i can read sda7
[11:36] <morpheus> so what can i do?
[11:36] <cpk1> HeLpEe: so can you cd to /media/sda7Win and read it?
[11:36] <Rageon> how do i know whut version of ubuntu im running plz?
[11:36] <sebastian> Jaymac: thank you very much!
[11:36] <Rageon> i have a console handy
[11:36] <HeLpEe> cpk1 i want to mount both seperatily
[11:37] <cpk1> Rageon: 2$ lsb_release -a
[11:37] <Heroin> urm
[11:37] <cpk1> Rageon: err lsb_release -a
[11:37] <Rageon> it usually uname or something
[11:37] <zybil> hello
[11:37] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey i want to mount both seperatily
[11:37] <Rageon> 2.6.22-14-generic #1
[11:37] <Rageon> what version is this pls?
[11:38] <popey> Rageon: use lsb_release -a
[11:38] <Rageon> herron?
[11:38] <cpk1> Rageon: uname will tell you your kernel, if you want the ubuntu version run lsb_release -a
[11:38] <popey> Rageon: uname only shows the kernel version, not the version of ubuntu
[11:38] <Jaymac> Rageon: cat /etc/issue or lsb_release -a
[11:38] <Rageon> ok just sounded like a dodgey command :s
[11:38] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: not sure what you mean by both and separately
[11:38] <Ziroday> Rageon: the uname * commands tell you your kernel version. lsb_release -a tells you what version of ubunut
[11:38] <Rageon> gutsy, ok cool thanks guys
[11:39] <zybil> i have a big problem. accidently i put on xdmcp and i dont know how to activate the gdm again. in gdm.conf xdmcp login is typed to "false". So whats the deal please? I dont have a clue, using lynx to find out how to change the login is so hard i find..
[11:39] <cpk1> HeLpEe: /dev/sda7 is not the same as /media/sda7Win what exactly are you trying to do? get sda7 and sda8 both to mount?
[11:39] <morpheus> ok iam in the mainmenue but how i can find the xmms2 entry?? or the file like exe??
[11:41] <HeLpEe> cpk1 yes. i want them mounted separatly.
[11:41] <HeLpEe> cpk1 The system reported: mount: /dev/sda8 already mounted or /media/sda8Raw busy
[11:41] <HeLpEe> mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda8 is mounted on /media/sda7Win%
[11:41] <DistroJockey> morpheus: try pressing   Alt+F2   and type in   xmms2
[11:42] <zumbi> !hi
[11:42] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[11:42] <HeLpEe> DistroJockey this is the problem. mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda8 is mounted on /media/sda7Win9
[11:42] <zumbi> whom should i ask for help on cooperation with third world countries?
[11:43] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: nods. Maybe  sudo umount /mnt/whatever  and  re  mount  as needed?
[11:43] <morpheus> no doesnt work..no action..only xmms1 can be opend
[11:43] <Rageon> hey jaymac u still there dude?
[11:43] <cpk1> HeLpEe: can you please give us the correct location for /dev/sda8 you have given us 3 different mount points for it from mount so far. here is an abbreviated version of what you need to do: unmount sda8 and then make a directory for sda8 and then sda7 and mount both of them in the directory you want
[11:43] <morpheus> but i have the problem with other aplications too
[11:44] <archman> hi, im trying to install hydrogen and when i ./configure i get: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62706/; i tried putting /usr/sbin/qt to path and other variations, but it's always the same...help!

[11:45] <Rageon> ok sorry what where the others i need again?
[11:45] <mattycoze2> Ziroday = legend
[11:45] <GuySoft> hey all, does anyone here know why the ubuntu asks for the CD when installing the pptp-linux package?
[11:45] <mattycoze2> thanks man it all worked
[11:45] <Jaymac> w32codecs and gstreamer probably
[11:46] <cpk1> HeLpEe: if you have trouble doing those 3 steps I gave you, we can help you with correct, specific commands IF you give us *correct* specific information
[11:46] <Rageon> kk
[11:46] <Jaymac> Rageon: I know that if you go to Applications > Add/Remove Programs and do a search for gstreamer you can find all the plugins for that there
[11:46] <Rageon> the w32 codecs are non free tho?
[11:46] <Schypher_> hello
[11:46] <Jaymac> Rageon: just remember to click show all available
[11:46] <holomodus> GuySoft: do you have it checked off in your Software Sources?
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> GuySoft: disable the cd as a repository
[11:46] <solar_george> has anyone got one of these http://www.dabs.com/ProductView.aspx?Quicklinx=47XB I need to know if it work with ubuntu before buying
[11:47] <Jaymac> Rageon: most visual codecs are non free.  Only install them if it's legal in your country :)
[11:47] <GuySoft> ActionParsnip, ill try
[11:47] <GuySoft> however i think it sill wants the cd
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> solar_george: I have that exact thing
[11:47] <Schypher_> how do i elevate permission when launching some application from the gnome
[11:47] <Schypher_> xwindow
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> solar_george: works out of the box dude
[11:47] <Rageon> how am i being charged if theyre non free and legal in my country tho?
[11:48] <Jaymac> Rageon: non-free means that they are proprietary, not that you have to pay money for them
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> solar_george: its sweet but not great for games I've found (maybe its my batteries)
[11:48] <Rageon> mk
 thanks, i'll order one as soon as i've got the money
[11:48] <cpk1> Rageon: non-free as in free speech not free beer
[11:48] <Jaymac> Rageon: non-free means that the source code isn't available :)
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> solar_george: i dont game much so it suits me great. less things to loose ;)
[11:48] <zybil> hello. can anyone tell me how to put of xdmcp-login and put on gdm normal user login??
[11:48] <Rageon> theres a whole list in /pool/non-free/w/w32codecs which one do i need?
[11:48] <Jaymac> it's one of the problems in the English language - Romance languages have two words :)
[11:48] <Rageon> koz i have everything but this and it doesnt work
[11:49] <Jaymac> Rageon, enable the repository and just type sudo aptitude install w32codecs
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> Jaymac: not so much the german then ;) ICH LEIBER DICH!
[11:49] <shivamib> Rageon: FOR THE WIN
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> Jaymac: or sudo apt-get install w32codecs
[11:49] <Jaymac> ActionParsnip: it's Ich leibe dich :)
[11:49] <Jaymac> ActionParsnip: aptitude is encouraged over apt-get usually
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> sp
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> Jaymac: why?
 yeah the same and I don't like working at a desk so i keep dropping my kbd and mouse
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> solar_george: then you'll love it
[11:51] <HeLpEe> cpk1 DistroJockey where can i see the boot logs (saved somewhere?). i think i saw a problem in that.
[11:51] <Jaymac> ActionParsnip: maybe it isn't relevant now, but it used to deal with dependencies a lot better
[11:51] <cpk1> HeLpEe: your problem is a partition will not mount, correct?
[11:51] <Rageon> i have totem installed when i goto install totem-xine, it says its going to uninstall gstreamer
[11:51] <HeLpEe> cpk1 i think so..
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> Jaymac: Ive never had an issue with apt-get. i always use the command line. stupid adept / synaptic just clutter stuff up
[11:52] <HeLpEe> cpk1 its solved now. i think
[11:52] <Jaymac> ActionParsnip: I use aptitude on the commandline :)
[11:52] <cpk1> HeLpEe: well, either it mounted or it didnt
[11:52] <HeLpEe> cpk1 it is now
[11:52] <HeLpEe> cpk1 DistroJockey where can i see the boot logs (saved somewhere?). i think i saw a problem in that.
[11:53] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: dmesg   maybe?
[11:53] <Rageon> video still doesnt work comes up with plugin missing
[11:53] <cpk1> HeLpEe: /var/log/syslog but warnings in there arent necessarily problems
[11:54] <eleftherios> does anyone know of any companies that offer ubuntu dedicated servers that are like Rackspace? (e.g. very good SLAs, very reliable)?
[11:54] <eleftherios> Rackspace offers only redhat so it is not an option
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> eleftherios: what country?
[11:55] <eleftherios> USA
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> eleftherios: http://www.m5hosting.com/ubuntu-dedicated-server.php
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> eleftherios: 3 seconds googling time
[11:55] <HeLpEe> cpk1 DistroJockey those are not boot logs..
[11:55] <Rageon> anyone?
[11:56] <eleftherios> ActionParsnip: I have found plenty on Google too. I was asking about people who could recommend companies that are like rackspace.
[11:56] <eleftherios> with five 9s of uptime guaranteed etc
[11:56] <icesword> ActionParsnip, any idea if dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't give me options to configure my graphic card and screen resolutions and refresh rate ?
[11:56] <HeLpEe> cpk1 DistroJockey are they?
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> eleftherios: i have no idea of that, sorry. Read some reviews
[11:57] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: for certain things, yes.  Maybe take a look in    /var/log
[11:57] <HeLpEe> cpk1 DistroJockey ok
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> icesword: do you have your graphics driver installed
[11:57] <HeLpEe> cpk1 DistroJockey gtg brb, thanks!
[11:57] <DistroJockey> HeLpEe: np, good luck
[11:57] <cpk1> HeLpEe: /var/log/syslog includes boot messages but if the log fills up the top part will be overwritten to make space for the new logging...
[11:57] <DistroJockey> snap
[11:57] <cpk1> alright then
[11:58] <eleftherios> ActionParsnip: please read the questions before talking and giving redundant answers by pointing out obvious things. Don't just talk to talk.
[11:58] <icesword> ActionParsnip, sure,it is in vmware
[11:58] <eleftherios> bye
[11:59] <bastid_raZor> icesword; you have ubuntu installed in vmware?
[12:01] <icesword> the answer is yes
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> what a jackass, i said sorry
[12:01] <bastid_raZor> icesword; you are not going to get desktop effects in vmware.
[12:01] <odinriiko> How do I set a static ip for a wireless ap that has no encryption?
[12:01] <icesword> bastid_raZor, sure,i know,i don't care
[12:02] <bastid_raZor> icesword; oh, i thought that is what you were trying to accomplish.. :\
[12:02] <ActionParsnip> odinriiko: you can manuallyedit /etc/networking/interfaces (with admin) or use network manager
[12:02] <cpk1> odinriiko: edit /etc/network/interfaces
[12:02] <icesword> bastid_raZor, no worries
[12:03] <cpk1> odinriiko: or do "sudo ifconfig wifi0 <IP_ADDRESS> up" replacing wifi0 with the actual interface and the ip with what you want of course
[12:03] <shaiguitar> hi all. i've been having serious trouble with ruby + gems on my ubuntu (gutsy gibbon) ... i can install things but nothing seems to work. i'm looking to start afresh, take everything down and do it from the start. can anyone provide a link to this? much appreciated.
[12:03] <shaiguitar> maybe from source even
[12:04] <odinriiko> cpkl will that stick through reboots?
[12:04] <shaiguitar> s/serious//
[12:04] <shaiguitar> but still
[12:05] <fsd> hi, is there a tray for gnome that shows the wifi status?
[12:05] <fsd> interactively
[12:05] <cpk1> odinriiko: no, but editing /etc/network/interfaces will, or if you were lazy you could copy what I gave you and put it in /etc/rc.local but then you would need to use the absolute path to ifconfig, the correct way would be to edit /etc/network/interfaces =P
[12:06] <Toroa-lala> Hey, I have removed phpmyadmin from my webserver using "apt-get remove phpmyadmin", "apt-get autoremove" and "apt-get clean". Now when I reinstall it (using apt-get), /etc/phpmyadmin is empty (I deleted the folder after removing phpmyadmin). Has anybody a solution?
[12:06] <ricanelite> is there a way when i connect my ipod to my computer via usb instead of opening music player it will open up Banshee by default?
[12:07] <DistroJockey> fsd: google gave me this, maybe it's worth a look?:  http://roscidus.com/desktop/WiFi
[12:09] <icesword> ricanelite, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto
[12:10] <Stormx2> Toroa-lala: That isn't the default phpmyadmin directory?
[12:10] <Stormx2> Oh bleh, it is.
[12:11] <Stormx2> Toroa-lala, apt-get remove --purge phpmyadmin ?
[12:11] <Toroa-lala> Stormx2: It is the directory phpmyadmin package installs .. it is created when i install phpmyadmin
[12:11] <Stormx2> ricanelite: Those settings are handled by gconf. alt + f2. Type gconf-editor and hit enter
[12:11] <Stormx2> Toroa-lala, so I see. sudo apt-get remove --purse phpmyadmin
[12:12] <Toroa-lala> Stormx2: I'll give purge a try :)
[12:12] <Stormx2> I only have a few files in /etc/phpmyadmin in my installation
[12:12] <Stormx2> just a few config files. The meat of the installation is in /usr/share/phpmyadmin
[12:14] <Toroa-lala> Stromx2: It was the config file i was missing .. but --pruge solved it. Thanks :)
[12:15] <b0x> anyone know, with remote desktop if i can set it to auto accept people when thay try login, so it doesent pop up with "refuse" or "allow"?
[12:15] <fsd> Install these packages without verification [y/N]?
[12:15] <fsd> i get this while trying to install build-essential
[12:15] <fsd> any clues?
[12:15] <b0x> press Y
[12:15] <b0x> and enter
[12:15] <fsd> it asks for the cd
[12:15] <b0x> put the CD in
[12:15] <b0x> is it even on the CD?
[12:16] <b0x> u might need to change the source of the file
[12:16] <b0x> in some option
[12:16] <Stormx2> b0x: System > Preferences > Remote Desktop
[12:16] <fsd> i want to download the pkg from the internet
[12:16] <b0x> oh
[12:16] <b0x> that was eazy
[12:16] <Stormx2> fsd: try doing a "sudo apt-get update" first.
[12:16] <b0x> how silly of me
[12:16] <b0x> thank u
[12:16] <FloodBot2> b0x: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:16] <Stormx2> no prob.
[12:17] <Lifeisfunny> I hate getting unauthenticated updates, is there any way to clear those out of the update manager?    I got some of ghostscript-x libgs8 and screenlets
[12:17] <Stormx2> Lifeisfunny, are you using third-party repositories?
[12:17] <Stormx2> i.e. non-ubuntu ones.
[12:17] <fsd> no it doesn't fix the cd asking
[12:17] <Joth> I'm trying to get dual monitors to work with BigDesktop - it works on the login screen, but after I've logged in it just shows the same on both monitors rather than combining them. Any ideas?
[12:17] <Lifeisfunny> Stormx2, are those backports?
[12:17] <DistroJockey> fsd: in your list of repositories, # out the cd/dvd lines
[12:17] <Lifeisfunny> I thought those were commented out
[12:17] <Lifeisfunny> let me check
[12:18] <Stormx2> Lifeisfunny, pastebin your sources.list
[12:18] <Lifeisfunny> ok
[12:18] <Stormx2> fsd: That's pretty odd. You opened a terminal and did "sudo apt-get update" right? And it completed, no errors?
[12:19] <simmerz> i've done an update this morning and i now can't start firefox or thunderbird
[12:20] <Stormx2> simmerz, What ubuntu version?
[12:20] <simmerz> gutsy
[12:20] <Stormx2> simmerz, have you tried running firefox from a terminal to see if it spits out errors?
[12:20] <simmerz> it doesn't do anything at all
[12:20] <Lifeisfunny> Stormx2,     http://pastebin.ca/979437
[12:21] <Stormx2> It just finishes, right there?
[12:21] <Stormx2> The command does nothing?
[12:21] <simmerz> hmm, tb starts ok now following a reinstall but spits out: recurrence tweaking exception:TypeError: baseDuration has no properties
[12:21] <simmerz> firefox just hangs
[12:21] <fsd> hi, is there a tray for gnome that shows the wifi status?
[12:21] <cpk1> fsd: please pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:22] <fsd> i fixed the cdrom problem
[12:22] <fsd> onward
[12:22] <fsd> s
[12:22] <simmerz> Stormx2: oh, its just started as well now. no idea what was playing up before, but a reinstall of both packages seems to have resolved it
[12:22] <NekoKun> how do I block remote access from a user?
[12:22] <cmwt> I am looking for a good portable hd to boot linux from...  apparently seagate free agent doesn't work well..
[12:22] <cmwt> any suggestion will be appreciated
[12:22] <jon_high9000> hi there. i have Ubuntu 7.10 and have been trying to get ffmpeg to work. i have been getting the "corrupted" file error each time. should i try something else?
[12:22] <NekoKun> actually, how to block remote access with root but allow users to sudo?
[12:23] <Dr_willis> NekoKun,  you mean block ssh access?
[12:23] <NekoKun> yes
[12:23] <Stormx2> Lifeisfunny: You have some extra repos. The launchpad and medibuntu repos aren't there by default, and may require you to install a key to authenticate them
[12:23] <Ziroday> cmwt: and drive that is bigger than 1GB is enough to hold a install of ubuntu
[12:23] <Lifeisfunny> ahh, ok
[12:23] <Dr_willis> NekoKun,  check the ssh server docs. thers dozens of options in there.
[12:23] <Stormx2> If you find the pages that told you how to add the lines to sources.list, they'll also tell you how to add the keys.
[12:23] <cpk1> NekoKun: if you dont want ssh to be used you can just turn it off
[12:24] <NekoKun> no, I don't want ROOT connecting, but there are sudo users that I want them to use
[12:24] <Dr_willis> NekoKun,  I set up ssh where only the local lap ips are allowed.
[12:24] <Dr_willis> NekoKun,  thats 2 different things. :) you can disallow root to ssh in.   then theusers have to ssh in, and trhen use sudo
[12:24] <binarical-app> NekoKun: you can always tell who is loged into your server with the :who command
[12:24] <cpk1> well on a normal ubuntu system there isnt really any reason to even have root setup
[12:25] <cmwt> Ziroday: I am not concern about the capacity.. free agent doesn't support linux well... it has some weird circuitry...
[12:25] <NekoKun> Dr_willis: that's what I want
[12:25] <Dr_willis> I thought root login was disabled by default anyway in the default sshd config
[12:25] <Dr_willis> NekoKun,  check the sshd configs. Its in there.
[12:25] <NekoKun> Dr_willis: Dude log in then ask for sudo powers
[12:25] <NekoKun> -_-' I'm feeling like talking with Java programmers...
[12:25] <Lifeisfunny> Stormx2, well let me say it this way,  I get the updates registered in the manager I get that little window when fixing to install them that says the aren't authenitcated and may allow malicious processes,
[12:25] <Dr_willis> NekoKun,  Yes.. thats very doable..
[12:25] <Ziroday> cmwt: then what are you looking for?, any regular thumb drive or portable hdd will do
[12:26] <Stormx2> Lifeisfunny, yep.
[12:26] <NekoKun> Dr_willis: In any easy/simple/quick/explainable way?
[12:26] <binarical-app> NekoKun: when a user logs in remotly via ssh, their password is the equivilant of the root password, not the actual server root password
[12:26] <Dr_willis> NekoKun,  of course by default with ubuntu root has no passwordand thus cant login directoy
[12:26] <Dr_willis> NekoKun,  go READ the sshd config file :)
[12:26] <DistroJockey> cmwt: I don't like the Seagate Freeagnets much, the WD passports would probably be what I would go for
[12:26] <binarical-app> NekoKun: you can change permissions in /etc/groups
[12:26] <cmwt> Ziroday: I have windows laptop... I just want to dual boot linux from external hd..
[12:26] <Lifeisfunny> well I find that odd cause sometimes I'm refused the update and now I have it but am warned
[12:26] <Dr_willis> sshd config --> PermitRootLogin yes
[12:26] <Dr_willis> or No. :)
[12:27] <Lifeisfunny> weird,  I guess I don't fully understand the software
[12:27] <Ziroday> cmwt: I think I have lost you sorry, what is your exact question?
[12:27] <Lifeisfunny> alrighty, thanks anyways
[12:27] <eax> Hello :) Can anyone tell me how to change the default media player from Totem to VLC?
[12:27] <cmwt> DistroJockey, I only find out free agent doesn't work well with linux after I bought it..
[12:28] <DistroJockey> cmwt: does happen, sorry to hear :(
[12:28] <NekoKun> how do I save n quit visudo O.o?
[12:28] <NekoKun> mmm
[12:28] <cmwt> Ziroday.. I want to dual boot linux on external hd but seagate free agent doesn't work well.. so I am looking for what other options I have... wd.. maxtor ?
[12:28] <Dr_willis> NekoKun,  same as in vi.
[12:28] <NekoKun> it is a joe editor
[12:29] <cmwt> my original question might not be clear...
[12:29] <Dr_willis> NekoKun,  esc :wq for vi.  as for joe editor. No idea.
[12:29] <Ziroday> cmwt: any generic drive will do :)
[12:29] <NekoKun> Dr_willis: ^K X
[12:29] <Dr_willis> NekoKun,  like i need to know how to use joe :)
[12:30] <cmwt> Ziroday, that's what I thought... so I picked up this on sale hd only $110 for 250G
[12:30] <cmwt> http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=seagate+freeagent+linux&btnG=Google+Search
[12:30] <NekoKun> Dr_willis: Information isn't is enough
[12:30] <cmwt> sorry.. I mean http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/07/seagate-freeagent-drives-not-down-with-linux/
[12:31] <Dr_willis> NekoKun,  Huh?
[12:31] <jon_high9000> I realize you folks are very busy this morning. i will try the Ubuntu forums and possibly get back to you later today if necessary.
[12:31] <DistroJockey> cmwt: those get hot too
[12:31] <Lainy> I'm trying to set my font as terminus, which I already installed through apt-get install console-terminus. But the font Terminus doesn't show up in the gnome-terminal profile settings.. Thanks.
[12:32] <NekoKun> Dr_willis: nevermind :p
[12:32] <Ziroday> cmwt: ah when I say generic drive, I just mean one that can be used for simply trasfering files no other fancy utilities, you could try reformatting the seagate to get rid of whatever was on there beforehand, but I don' t think you will be able to get it back
[12:32] <Dr_willis> Lainy,  terminus is a font for the CONSOLE not X.
[12:32] <Dr_willis> Lainy,  at least i think it is :)
[12:32] <Lainy> Dr_willis: so not even for a console emulator?
[12:33] <Dr_willis> Lainy,  gnome-terminal is a 'terminal' emulator. its not the console.
[12:33] <eax> How can I make ubuntu play files by default in VLC and not Totem or Rhytmbox..?
[12:33] <Lainy> Dr_willis: Ahh okay. Thanks.
[12:33] <Dr_willis> the console uses a different font format then X does.
[12:33] <Lainy> i see
[12:34] <bastid_raZor> eax; system>preferences>preferred applications
[12:34] <Heroin> http://www.irssi.org/themefiles/screwer.png <-- which font is that?
[12:34] <m-p-b> hi, where do i get help on the evolution email client ?
[12:34] <eax> bastid_raZor: I tried that, but it doesn't work :( I select Custom and write "vlc" but it doesn't work :(
[12:35] <bastid_raZor> eax; or you could right click the file type and select open with .. then tell it to use that app everytime for that file type.
[12:35] <anev> i have just shared out a folder using NFS nad im trying to mount it on a windows xp client - it requests a username/passwd but it won't accept anything even when i create a new user?
[12:36] <eax> bastid_raZor: Trying that now :) It works :D
[12:36] <m-p-b> anyhow if someone knows how i fix this, i'd be delighted ... i can see that there are mails in the inbox, yet they are not listed at the right as they are supposed to. that goes as well for 'sent' and 'draft' i can tell by the number that they are there, but they are not available for read
[12:37] <pjv> i need a program to backup my internal HD in my pc to a external usb HD, around 300GB worth of files and folders, what can i use to do this?
[12:37] <Dr_willis> anev,  you got a XP NFS Client?  Spiffy.
[12:37] <anev> Dr_willis: i assumed it was built in?
[12:37] <Dr_willis> anev,  err... You sure you aint trying to use samba/network neighborhood ? and not nfs?
[12:38] <anev> Dr_willis: oh perhaps actually. are there any nfs clients for winxp you'd recommend?
[12:38] <wapko> Heroin: try running xfontsel in a terminal. that way you can get the proper long font name you would use to get that font. and i bet that is aterm .. you can give it the name of the font to use with the parameter -fn
[12:38] <Dr_willis> anev,  if you are wanting to use samba - you install the samba pacakage, give the user a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' and of course make some shares.
[12:38] <Dr_willis> anev,  ive never used/found a NFS client for windows.. I hear one or 2 exist. but not tried the,
[12:38] <anev> ah ok, np.
[12:39] <jatt> xfontsel is a pain in the neck :)
[12:39] <wapko> indeed
[12:39] <Heroin> wapko: i dont understand
[12:40] <tommmied> Hello, I have an nvidia 6200 card and i am having trouble getting it to work correctly.  I have followed all the instructions on the web but i can't seem to get this to work
[12:41] <Heroin> whats the aterm font?
[12:42] <tommmied> I installed the the nvidia-glx-new driver and restarted.  Once I it restarted I got a prompt before it loaded into gnome: "Your screen and graphics card could not be detected correctly..."
[12:43] <SamSamSam_> How do I change my login and system password??
[12:43] <Dr_willis> tommmied,   i normally backup my xorg.conf, and run 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' after installing the drivers.
[12:43] <m-p-b> ok works now
[12:43] <erUSUL> SamSamSam_: System,>Preferences>Users and Groups
[12:44] <tommmied> Dr_willis, I have done that already and still nothing :-(
[12:44] <SamSamSam_> erUSUL: I have no users and groups under preferences :O(
[12:44] <Dr_willis> tommmied,  bummer. you sure that card needed the nvidia-glx-new? and not the normal nvidia-glx?
[12:44] <erUSUL> SamSamSam_: system>Admin sorry
[12:45] <bazhang> tommmied: what about sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? tried that yet
[12:45] <sfs> someone tell me the name of the codecs pkg
[12:45] <tommmied> Dr_willis, I used the system>administration>restricted
[12:45] <Heroin> wapko: can you tell me the fontname of aterm.. default one?
[12:45] <tommmied> and it did the downloading, and used the the new driver
[12:45] <sfs> multimedia codecs
[12:46] <tommmied> so I automatically assumed...
[12:46] <bazhang> ubuntu-restricted-extras sfs has many of them also check out medibuntu repos for more
[12:46] <Dr_willis> tommmied,  it does the same thing basicially. I just do it from the terminal. If it says use the new - guess it looked it up in some database.
[12:46] <erUSUL> sfs: ubuntu-restricted-extras ?
[12:46] <wapko> Heroin: i actually dont know the name of the default one.
[12:46] <tommmied> Dr_willis, Yea i did it both ways actually
[12:46] <tommmied> none worked
[12:46] <Heroin> wapko: can you check for me w. fn i dont have aterm installed
[12:46] <tommmied> bazhang, I did not do the sudo dpkg
[12:47] <tommmied> i thought sudo nvidia-xconfig handled that
[12:47] <SamSamSam_> Thank you erUSUL :OD
[12:47] <bazhang> tommmied: worth a shot; answer the default if you do not know some of the answers though
[12:48] <bazhang> tommmied: if that still does not work then we can look at the xorg.conf and try editing manually
[12:48] <tommmied> To be honest, I did that in the very beginning.  That gets my desktop to look normal but it is very sluggish
[12:48] <bazhang> tommmied: pastebin your xorg.conf then please
[12:49] <tommmied> sure, do you want my current one? Or the one where i did sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[12:49] <tommmied> sure
[12:49] <bazhang> best to do it after the reconfigure; up to you really
[12:49] <wapko> Heroin: i start my aterm with -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-100-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15  .. thats the format for font selection..
[12:50] <wapko> Heroin: and you can customize it with xfontsel. so you can choose your own. but you cant use that for say gnome-terminal
[12:50] <tommmied> bazhang, here is my latest one: http://pastebin.com/m3e397ee3
[12:51] <bazhang> tommmied: what resolution are you aiming for? there are an awful lot of modelines in that xorg.conf
[12:52] <tommmied> haha, thats because I went a little overboard on the selection
[12:52] <bazhang> hehe 1792x1344 ;]
[12:53] <tommmied> but that shouldn't effect whats happening?
[12:54] <bazhang> have to step away for a few; back shortly ;]
[12:54] <Dr_willis> Heroin,  for xterm i tend to use     xterm -sb -sl 2000 -bg '#111111' -fg green -fn 10x20
[12:54] <bastid_raZor> the 6200 doesn't support that high of a resolution
[12:54] <gullstad> Is it possible to make a folder have a max-size? So it cant be used more then the set size?
[12:54] <tparcina> which program should I use to send FAX?
[12:54] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, you think that can be causing the problem?
[12:55] <Dr_willis> gullstad,  never seen that done befor. There are user quota things you could use. but not seen that for a specific directory.
[12:55] <tparcina> hylafax is to complicated, sicne I need to send one FAX page every month
[12:55] <gullstad> Dr_willis: Oki. Thanks anyways :)
[12:55] <tparcina> I need to fax OO.o and PDF documents
[12:55] <gullstad> Dr_willis: How does the user quote work anyways?
[12:56] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; to be on the safe side get rid of all the sizes the 6200 doesn't support.. 1280x1024 may be the max.. not sure but you could google to find out.
[12:56] <Dr_willis> gullstad,  its possible theres some 'fuse' feature/thing that can do it
[12:56] <Dr_willis> gullstad,  no idea. I never use it. :)
[12:56] <annonymouse> hi, my ubuntu box keeps crashing i think it might be over heating its a laptop,  how do i access a system log to see why it keeps turning itself off
[12:56] <sinbox> is there a GUI archive manager for the 7zip that you get from add/remove and how would I get it up?
[12:56] <tommmied> ok let me try that and come back
[12:56] <gullstad> Dr_willis: "fuse"?
[12:56] <Dr_willis> !fuse | gullstad
[12:56] <ubotu> gullstad: FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE.  Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here:  http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems
[12:56] <Dr_willis> gullstad,  only one of the most amazing bits of software out for linux. :)
[12:57] <gullstad> Dr_willis: I'll check it out. Thanks alot :)
[12:58] <SitUbuntuSit> next to frozen-bubbles, Dr_willis
[12:59] <sriramoman> how do we use nokia phone as usb drive in ubuntu?
[12:59] <Dr_willis> sriramoman,  with the wifes phone she plugs it in with the special phone-usb cable. and has to go into the phones menus and enable usb-device/drive mode.
[13:00] <geek> the drive my ubuntu install's in seems to have run out of space... i tend to save everything to another partition, so any pointers on where i should look to clear space?
[13:00] <sriramoman> Dr_willis, i have that cable and i connected it. and enabled the mode, but it didnt work?
[13:00] <sriramoman> did u install anything seperate?
[13:01] <annonymouse> my ubuntu box keeps crashing i think it might be over heating its a laptop,  how do i access a system log to see why it keeps turning itself off
[13:01] <Dr_willis> sriramoman,  nope.
[13:01] <sriramoman> ok thanx. i'll check again, anyway.
[13:02] <annonymouse> sriramoman:  which nokia is it?
[13:02] <sriramoman> nokia 6233
[13:02] <tparcina> can someone please recommend me how to FAX one page from Ubuntu
[13:03] <bastid_raZor> annonymouse; honesty i've never heard of ubuntu shutting itself off.. i would say your laptop is overheating and the bios is causing it to shutoff.
[13:03] <geek> never mind, found it
[13:03] <cder> does line say the xp cd rom is the cd-rom drive or/ 'file:/home/cc/iso-images/WindowsXP-SP2/image.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r' ]
[13:03] <geek> tparcina: have a fax modem (to start with)?
[13:03] <tparcina> geek: yes, I have fax modem in my laptop  HP nc6320
[13:04] <annonymouse> bastid_raZor:  it spits out some lines but i  cant write it to quickly under windoze it never did it ever
[13:04] <Rabbitbunny> Where would I set my hdparm setting for longevity? it's not etc/hdparm.conf as indicated by the manpage.
[13:04] <tommmied> Nope no luck
[13:04] <tparcina> geek: I have heard about hylafax, but it's to complicated to be used for FAX-ing one page per month
[13:04] <b0x> when i installl shit, where is it ment to show up in ubuntu? in the menus? cause nothing eva shows up
[13:05] <geek> tparcina: i guess
[13:05] <bastid_raZor> annonymouse; /var/log may hold some logfiles that could help
[13:05] <Rabbitbunny> b0x: children present. clean it up.
[13:05] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, it didn't work
[13:05] <annonymouse> sound thank u bastid_raZor
[13:05]  * geek can't think of anything off hand that would work anyway
[13:05] <tparcina> geek: can you please recommend me some program that I can use? the one that isn't to complicated
[13:06] <cder> is this cd-rom in my dirve?? this is the lne 'file:/home/cc/iso-images/WindowsXP-SP2/image.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r' ]
[13:06] <b0x> when i installl programs, where is it ment to show up? in the menus? cause nothing eva shows up
[13:06] <geek> tparcina: can't think of one right now ><
[13:06] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; what did you use to take them out? sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg ?
[13:06] <sriramoman> how do i chk the md5sum of a cd in commandline?
[13:07] <sriramoman> (i dont mean iso image)
[13:07] <tommmied> bastid_raZor,   no I just manually edited the xorg.conf
[13:07] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; what is the card doing? or not doing .. for that matter
[13:07] <b0x> anyone?
[13:07] <b0x> when i installl programs, where is it ment to show up? in the menus? cause nothing eva shows up
[13:07] <bastid_raZor> sriramoman; man md5sum
[13:08] <Dr_willis> sriramoman,  you run md5sum on the /dev/cdrom or whatever device
[13:08] <annonymouse> think i might be being hacked
[13:08] <Rabbitbunny> b0x: THat's going to depend on the package you installed. I would doubt lynx or top have a menu entry.
[13:08] <sriramoman> ok
[13:08] <[D]ANIEL[a]> ppL
[13:08] <[D]ANIEL[a]> k'k
[13:08] <[D]ANIEL[a]> :P
[13:08] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, right before gnome loads it says that  your screen and graphics card could not be deteceted correctly

[13:10] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; can you give the exact error.. look in ~/.xsessions-error and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[13:11] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, sure h.o
[13:12] <Rabbitbunny> b0x: open a terminl and try 'man deluge'
[13:12] <Rabbitbunny> or just get rtorrent...
[13:12] <b0x> yup
[13:12] <b0x> wats rtorrent
[13:13] <sriramoman> can i use my debian etch dvds as repos for ubuntu gutsy gibbon?
[13:13] <Rabbitbunny> does the manpage come up?
[13:13] <monzie|home> Hi all
[13:13] <Rabbitbunny> sriramoman: No.
[13:13] <monzie|home> I had an existing installation of XP + Ubuntu
[13:13] <monzie|home> I erased XP and put vista
[13:13] <bastid_raZor> b0x; deluge would be listed under applications>internet .. if not you could easily add it.. the path will be /usr/bin/deluge
[13:14] <Rabbitbunny> b0x: Does the manpage come up?
[13:14] <monzie|home> Now I am unable to get back to my Ubuntu partition. Help please
[13:14] <b0x> yes
[13:14] <Dr_willis> sriramoman,  since ubuntu is not debian. No.
[13:14] <b0x> im downloading rtorrent
[13:14] <monzie|home> I installed Vista on /dev/sda1
[13:14] <Rabbitbunny> type deluge then. yay.
[13:14] <monzie|home> my swap is /dev/sda2 and Ubuntu ext3 part is /dev/sda3
[13:14] <b0x> how do i run the program tho
[13:14] <b0x> once its installeD?
[13:14] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, nothing in my xsessions-error file but xorg log is here: http://pastebin.com/m2e50f29d
[13:14] <monzie|home> I booted the computer using the Ubuntu livecd, mounted and chrooted into /dev/sda3 and did a grub-install /dev/sda
[13:14] <monzie|home> it said "stage1 not read correctly"
[13:15] <monzie|home> I rebooted the system to find out that grub had not been installed at all
[13:15] <monzie|home> an someone please tell me how to fix this? I know if i install Ubuntu again, it will recognize my vista partition
[13:15] <monzie|home> but i want to retain my current Ubuntu install
[13:15] <DJones> !grub | monzie|home
[13:15] <ubotu> monzie|home: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[13:15] <hsuh> when i unmount pendrives from ubuntu/linux the 'light' doesn't turn off like it does on windows.. anyone knows why?
[13:15] <Rabbitbunny> b0x: type it's name in a terminal, find it in a menu where bastid_raZor suggested it would be or add it to a menu yourself.
[13:15] <Dr_willis> monzie|home,  befor doing the chroot  you must setup the /dev/ and some other place properly on the to-be-chrooted-filesystem  Check  the bot factoid
[13:15] <Saint`Dia> Well, I just replaced Vista with Ubuntu, seems to be working alright.
[13:15] <gNewPower> Hi, I have a Xubuntu/XFCE question: I have Firefox on my top taskbar, and I can add various applets.  But I have not found a way to add an *application* (like say, Epiphany).  Where is the menu which allows me to add applications to this bar?
[13:16] <b0x> so is that all i do
[13:16] <hsuh> gNewPower: add a launcher
[13:16] <b0x> just write the program into terminal
[13:16] <b0x> and it opens?
[13:16] <b0x> cause rtorrent opend
[13:16] <Dr_willis> gNewPower,  right click on the panel, its in the menus.
[13:16] <LadyNikon> so.. I deleted the bottom panel in gnome thinking that my adesklet launcher would handle the lowering of the application..
[13:16] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, doesn't look like any errors were reported
[13:16] <yandy> Sorry,Could you describe your problem again,I just come in
[13:16] <gNewPower> hsuh: ok. let me try that
[13:16] <LadyNikon> they just disappear.. how do i get that bottom bar back?
[13:16] <lijinji> hello
[13:16] <hsuh> gNewPower: if thats what you mean.. do you want to type the command?
[13:17] <Dr_willis> gNewPower,  under gnome/kde you can just drag/drop from the k/gnome menu which makes them MUCH nicer in that area.  its an annoying limit in xfce's panels i think
[13:17] <Rabbitbunny> b0x: Yup.
[13:17] <gNewPower> hsuh: it worked, I just added XMMS, but I could not add the icon
[13:18] <Dr_willis> gNewPower,  some how you can set the icon. :)
[13:18] <gNewPower> hsuh: I just found the menu.
[13:18] <hsuh> hm.. you have to track the icon.. probably on /usr/share/pixmaps/..
[13:18] <gNewPower> Dr_willis: just found it, thanks!
[13:19] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; the only thing i'm seeing as odd is Bad V_BIOS checksum
[13:19] <tommmied> yikes
[13:20] <Saint`Dia> wtf is up with these conexant dial up modem drivers that only let you get 14K unless you pay.
[13:20] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, I can't do anything about that?
[13:20] <joep> OK. Ik ben weer terug. systeem opnieuw gestart maar nog steeds geen geluid en aplay kan nog steeds geen cards ontdekken.
[13:20] <gNewPower> Dr_willis: I found how to add the "multimedia" icon, but not the XMMS icon. Is that doable?
[13:20] <joep> Sorry: wrong channel.
[13:20] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, If this helps troubleshooting: This once was on windows XP working fine?
[13:21] <Dr_willis> gNewPower,  explore some more you can set a custome icon some where in there close to that
[13:21] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; when you ran the dpkg command did you select vesa driver or nv or nvidia?
[13:21] <AliAnwar> Hi I have a problem...
[13:21] <AliAnwar> I made around 2M files on my home directory
[13:21] <tommmied> not sure should i run that one more
[13:21] <AliAnwar> which slowed down my system...
[13:21] <tommmied> and which one should i pick nvidia
[13:21] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; nvidia yes
[13:22] <tommmied> can you tell me the command one more time :-/
[13:22] <ubuntu>  hi, I installed ubuntu 7.10 on a 16GB USB drive on my laptop which has only windows xp on the HD. unfortunately it seems that the ubuntu grub installer did install part of grub on the HD. this means I have to keep the USB key connected at boot time, in the bios select boot from USB-HD and then I get the grub menu (boot linux or winxp). if I remove the key the machine is unbootable. I would like to boot windows when the usb key is not connected.now I fixed
[13:22] <ubuntu> the
[13:22] <ubuntu>  HDs MBR by using the winxp CD and entering fixmbr. but if I try to boot linux from the USB stick it does not work because part of grub is missing.
[13:22] <ubuntu>  any idea how to fully install grub on the USB key ?
[13:22] <ubuntu>  without reinstalling linux on the usb key from scratch.  thanks for infos.
[13:22] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[13:22] <FloodBot2> ubuntu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:22] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, shouldn't i run through the whole process again?
[13:22] <gNewPower> Dr_willis: in what subdirectory do I find application icons?
[13:22] <lijinji> hello everyone
[13:23] <Dr_willis> gNewPower,  no idea. i got my own personal icon dir i use..  use the locate command  to search for the file/program name perhaps
[13:23] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; leave off the -phigh .. it'll do the entire xorg setup
[13:23] <tommmied> kk
[13:23] <gNewPower> Dr_willis: ok.I will try that
[13:23] <b0x> how do i download torrents into rtorrent?
[13:23] <maek> Saint`Dia, PM me if you are registered
[13:23] <Saint`Dia> Anyway I can get these modem drivers from 14K to 56K?
[13:23] <Dr_willis> b0x,  with rtorrent, you WILL want to read its docs/homepage/tutorials
[13:23] <annonymouse> ive just  installed sensors-applet  from sudo apt get install sensors-applet   can any one tell me how do i get into it?
[13:24] <b0x> kk
[13:24] <Dr_willis> b0x,  its like hit some key, (l for load?) then enter the path/name...
[13:24] <maek> Saint`Dia, PM me I have a possible fix for you
[13:24] <jroes> what package has the standard C library docs?
[13:24] <Saint`Dia> Lemme reg.
[13:24] <jroes> I need the manpages for things like send, recv, read, write, etc.
[13:25] <Saint`Dia> Can you reg through Nickserv here?
[13:25] <Saint`Dia> Or do I have to visit a page?
[13:25] <maek> Saint`Dia, are you registered ??
[13:25] <annonymouse> doh worked it out
[13:25] <redtide> Does anyone know the correct syntax for changing Beagles max hits to say, 10000
[13:25] <ubuntu> any ubuntu on flash USB key ? I have problems with grub. thx in advance.  see here: http://www.pastebin.ca/979496
[13:25] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, Just finished should i restart?
[13:25] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; restart X yes.. ctrl alt backspace
[13:26] <maek> Saint`Dia, I can't post a fix here because its something to do with the bay if you know what I mean
[13:26] <annonymouse> is 53 degrees  c  okay for a running temp?
[13:26] <yandy> Hello lijinji
[13:26] <Juzzy`> annonymouse yeah should be fine\
[13:26] <annonymouse> thanks Juzzy`
[13:26] <Juzzy`> Hi guys, running mythbuntu 8.04 ... get mutliple copies of mythtv trying to run on startup
[13:26] <Rabbitbunny> I wouldn't want to run in that heat
[13:26] <redtide> annonymouse, for what? your cpu, your video card, or your case?
[13:26] <lijinji> ??????????????????/
[13:27] <annonymouse> redtide:   my laptop in general
[13:27] <yandy> Why don't you answer me?
[13:27] <bazhang> lijinji: did you have a question?
[13:27] <N> ok
[13:27] <lijinji> no
[13:27] <maek> !ask | lijinji
[13:27] <ubotu> lijinji: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[13:27] <redtide> Annonymouse: should be fine if you are not trying to run any games
[13:27] <Juzzy`> Is there a way to stop things starting when gnome starts?
[13:27] <Saint`Dia> I PM
[13:27] <lijinji> what?
[13:27] <N> lol
[13:27] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, same thing
[13:27] <bazhang> yandy: how about you? ubuntu support question?
[13:28] <Saint`Dia> I PM
[13:28] <Saint`Dia> Dammit.
[13:28] <annonymouse> redtide:   no i dont play games luckily  my pc randomly keeps turning itself  of and trying to work out why
[13:28] <Saint`Dia> I PM'd
[13:28] <yandy> I sent personal message to you lijinji
[13:28] <lijinji> ok
[13:28] <Saint`Dia> I hate where they put the enterkey.
[13:28] <hatter> what is the equivalent of /etc/debian_version for ubuntu ?
[13:28] <annonymouse> was debating  updating to hardy n seing if any better
[13:28] <bazhang> Juzzy`: you running hardy? the discussion for that is in #ubuntu+1 thanks
[13:28] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, when I goto applications > system tools > nvidia x server settings, I get a message that says: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.   But i have done that before and still doesn't work
[13:29] <maek> Saint`Dia, it appears that I need to register as well
[13:29] <redtide> it could be why, if your case temp is at 53c then your cpu/videocard/ram are about 10-20c higher in temp
[13:29] <bastid_raZor> !version | hatter
[13:29] <ubotu> hatter: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell
[13:29] <Pici> hatter: /etc/lsb-release
[13:29] <maek> Saint`Dia, it won't allow me to send a message to you
[13:29] <Saint`Dia> maek: LoL.
[13:29] <hatter> bastid_raZor, Pici , thx
[13:29] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; do you have the restricted drivers manager in system>admin?
[13:29] <Saint`Dia> Tell me when you Reg.
[13:30] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, yea
[13:30] <Saint`Dia> I did the whole nickserv reg thing.
[13:30] <maek> Saint`Dia, google "conexant dial up modem drivers" and its the 5th result
[13:30] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; in that do you have the nvidia driver enabled?
[13:30] <redtide> Annonymouse, spend 10 bucks on one of those fan platforms that go under a laptop to see if that fixes it., or prop it up with a fan under it, if that works than heat is your prob
[13:30] <tommmied> yup
[13:31] <Saint`Dia> Alright.
[13:31] <Saint`Dia> Gonna take a while, since I'm only going at 14K
[13:31] <Juzzy`> Quick question how do i make ubuntu boot up into command line temporarily?
[13:31] <annonymouse> i tried that with books redtide  and it didnt make much difference
[13:31] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; odd as it sounds.. now that you have done the dpkg .. try the sudo nvidia-xconfig again..
[13:32] <tommmied> bastid_raZor,  then restart x again?
[13:32] <redtide> were the books covering the vents?
[13:32] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; i'm not sure you have to restart X after the nvidia settings.. but to be sure yes.
[13:32] <tommmied> k ill be back
[13:33] <DistroJockey> Juzzy`: does pressing   Ctrl+Alt+F2   not do the job?
[13:33] <Juzzy`> DistroJockey nope, nothing responds
[13:33] <Juzzy`> totally locked up
[13:33] <annonymouse> redtide:   no :)
[13:33] <maek> Saint`Dia, if you have a selective torrent download client you can get rid of the files you don't need so the download will be faster
[13:33] <Juzzy`> DistroJockey well afaik it won't work... but ctrl alt bkspc didn't work
[13:33] <maek> or sorry it wont take much time
[13:34] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, nope,  I can't even change resolution
[13:34] <Saint`Dia> maek: Can't download anything, I only d/l around 1.5k/s
[13:34] <redtide> annonymouse, pm me and we will see what we can figure out. im a linux noob, but ive been building, using pcs for a very long time
[13:34] <DistroJockey> Juzzy`: if you are totally locked, and want to reboot cleanly try the following...
[13:35] <lijinji> 有没有中国人
[13:35] <bazhang> !cn | lijinji
[13:35] <ubotu> lijinji: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw  或者 #ubuntu-hk
[13:35] <Juzzy`> DistroJockey I've booted into recovery mode ... I just need to remove the mythtv from the .autostart file or something.. right?
[13:35] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, and when i go back into the nvidia x settings, it still prompts with the same error
[13:35] <tommmied> ahh..
[13:35] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; i don't know what else to try. :\  .. it sounds as if the driver is borked
[13:35] <Saint`Dia> This is really erking me about ubuntu. I go through all the trouble. and then they are like, ya gotta pay.
[13:36] <tommmied>  bastid_raZor ahh thanks a lot though.
[13:36] <DistroJockey> Juzzy`: Hold down   Alt+SySRq   and then press  R  S  E  I  B   (wait a little between each of those letters)
[13:37] <Juzzy`> ok DistroJockey will try that
[13:37] <maek> Saint`Dia, do the download overnight you should have it in the morning
[13:37] <tommmied> Bankai--, you still away?
[13:37] <DistroJockey> Juzzy`: that was for when it's locked
[13:37] <bazhang> thought it was reisub
[13:37] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; try to get the exact error.. possibly any numbers that are in it too.. that'll be useful for someone to help more ..
[13:37] <Juzzy`> ok i'll reboot and do that when it locks up
[13:37] <maek> then you will enjoy 56k speeds
[13:37] <bazhang> Saint`Dia: pay for what?
[13:37] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, where would i get those error numberse?
[13:37] <DistroJockey> Juzzy`:  no wait
[13:37] <maek> Linuxtant bazhang
[13:37] <arvind_khadri> bazhang, hiiii wats that REISUB???
[13:38] <tommmied> bazhang, you able to help with the video card?
[13:38] <Saint`Dia> bazhang: The conexant dial up drivers.
[13:38] <bazhang> arvind_khadri: thought it was the alt sysreq reisub total system freeze command
[13:38] <bazhang> maek thanks
[13:38] <Saint`Dia> Is'nt there a way to hide these join/parts in pidgin?
[13:38] <arvind_khadri> bazhang, ohh ok...
[13:38] <bazhang> tommmied: I can try ;]
[13:38] <DistroJockey> arvind_khadri: bazhang: Really? So Everything Is Borked    :)
[13:39] <bazhang> DistroJockey: ;]
[13:39] <arvind_khadri> Saint`Dia, wat do u mean by that??
[13:39] <DistroJockey> opps, forgot the U
[13:39] <Juzzy`> GRR!?!?!?!
[13:39] <Saint`Dia> Page is -still- loading.
[13:39] <Juzzy`> DistroJockey this reboot was the one in 50 that works
[13:39] <DistroJockey> Really, So Everything Is Utterly Borked
[13:39] <Juzzy`> Thanks anyway
[13:39] <Saint`Dia> arvind_khadri: Mean by what?
[13:39] <Juzzy`> So what is that command?
[13:39] <wapko> busier backwards :P
[13:39] <arvind_khadri> Saint`Dia, the pidgin thing
[13:40] <DistroJockey> Juzzy`: use when everything seems to be frozen
[13:40] <Saint`Dia> arvind_khadri: Pidgin messenger. These join/parts are killing me.
[13:40] <Juzzy`> DistroJockey I'm guessing it was a sorta easter egg type pun put in by the devs?
[13:40] <DistroJockey> Juzzy`: hold down  Alt+SysRq  and hit those letters
[13:41] <wapko> if its in X maybe just the alt+sysrq+R can be enough. then you can ctrl+alt+f to a tty and fix from there :P
[13:41] <DistroJockey> Juzzy`: search google for Magic SysRq key
[13:41] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, bazhang , i got this in my .xsession-error now http://pastebin.com/m147dd37b
[13:41] <arvind_khadri> Saint`Dia, am not able to understand what it is...
[13:41] <arvind_khadri> Saint`Dia, forget it
[13:41] <Juzzy`> DistroJockey nice
[13:41] <Juzzy`> Hard reset
[13:41] <soulc> anyone know where I can get help with fail2ban?
[13:41] <Juzzy`> Is that ubuntu or linux specific?
[13:41] <DistroJockey> Juzzy`: sorry, not solving your issue, but providing a gracefull way to shutdown
[13:42] <soulc> and is anyone upgraded to the new ver?
[13:42] <DistroJockey> Juzzy`: built into the kernel
[13:42] <Saint`Dia> maek: The launchpad page? If so, did'nt solve my problem?
[13:42] <DistroJockey> Juzzy`: can be disabled and should be on public terminals
[13:42] <Juzzy`> DistroJockey lets just hope this resets gracefully into mythtv this time
[13:43] <Juzzy`> Its just picky to be honest
[13:43] <DistroJockey> Juzzy`: yeah, good luck on that
[13:43] <Juzzy`> heh thanks
[13:43] <DistroJockey> :)
[13:43] <maek> oh damn google localisation Saint`Dia ...
[13:43] <bazhang> if its linux it can be fixed ;]

[13:47] <DistroJockey> hehe
[13:47] <annonymouse> yw maek do u need the link
[13:47] <arvind_khadri> soulc, yeah google it
[13:48] <arvind_khadri> soulc, you can denyhost(s) or use manual entries to block too
[13:48] <soulc> fail2ban isn't banning ips I need to get some help with it I have read all the resources I can find
[13:48] <mormon> excuse me, i think that ubuntu's website is messy, it's hard to find out the download link
[13:48] <m3dvt> any one got probs with firefox ?
[13:48] <m3dvt> i have lol
[13:48] <arvind_khadri> soulc, you can denyhost(s) or use manual entries to block too
[13:48] <simmerz> m3dvt: what kind?
[13:48] <bazhang> mormon which version you want
[13:48] <maek> I got it annonymouse ... thanks !!
[13:48] <m3dvt> it dont work lol
[13:48] <Ciorapel> everyone has crashes with ff becouse of damn flash
[13:48] <soulc> yeah the problem with that is the ip changes
[13:48] <annonymouse> mormon  really u think it took me bout a minute or less the first time
[13:48] <simmerz> m3dvt: try aptitude reinstall firefox
[13:48] <bastid_raZor> mormon; http://releases.ubuntu.com/
[13:48] <simmerz> then run it from the command line
[13:48] <m3dvt> ok thanks
[13:49] <simmerz> if it crashes, you can ctrl c it, then run it from the cmnd line again
[13:49] <maek> Saint`Dia, please go here and copy and paste the URL in your browser
[13:49] <simmerz> it should then work
[13:49] <maek> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62715/
[13:49] <arvind_khadri> soulc, hmm well then use the hostname,that never changes :)
[13:49] <simmerz> i had that earlier on
[13:49] <Saint`Dia> ok going.
[13:49] <arvind_khadri> simmerz, keep your posts to a line
[13:49] <maek> I hope that you can download torrents on a 14k connection
[13:50] <Saint`Dia> Gahh.
[13:50] <annonymouse> maek  of course u can they just take a little while longer
[13:50] <simmerz> arvind_khadri: sorry? that's hardly flood-worthy!
[13:50] <Saint`Dia> Got a size estimation?
[13:50] <m3dvt> where you lot from ?
[13:50] <m3dvt> im in uk
[13:50] <annonymouse> uk
[13:50] <bazhang> !ot
[13:50] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[13:50] <soulc> ok that is a temp solution the permanent one is to get fail2ban to work as it is intended to
[13:50] <m3dvt> cool
[13:50] <mormon> bt sucks, you won't get a big pipe at most time
[13:51] <annonymouse> mormon bt british telecom   or bit torrent
[13:51] <arvind_khadri> simmerz, yeah but still then ,makes other people loose track...
[13:51] <mormon> bt = bittorrent
[13:51] <annonymouse> mormon never really had a problem with my torrents usually  all over 60-80 kps on average
[13:51] <Saint`Dia> Why oh why, did you do this to me.. linux!
[13:51] <arvind_khadri> soulc well i think that would be the best to do a manual entry
[13:51] <maek> Saint`Dia, then run that torrent overnight and you should have it in the morning ... then follow the instructions included in the torrent
[13:52] <mormon> in my mind, ftp is easier
[13:52] <Saint`Dia> I installed Ubuntu over Vista, lol. And know the gates karma is trying to keep me down.
[13:52] <m3dvt> i thought the internet providers where stopping the download of torrents now and banning you of the net ?
[13:52] <soulc> and my question is more to seeing if anyone might have a clue as to where I could go to ask specific fail2ban questions
[13:52] <annonymouse> m3dvt dont know if u knew this but theres an #ubuntu-uk room
[13:52] <simmerz> arvind_khadri: what if i want to make people try hard to follow me? ;-)
[13:52] <Saint`Dia> maek: Knowing there is a fix is good enough to calm me down. I can always drive down the street for a faster connection.
[13:53] <m3dvt> ok i didnt know
[13:53] <Ciorapel> I have a problem with VNC viewer. I have a machine running windows with VNC Server, and one running UBUNTU VNC - viewer. When I try to connect thru UBUNTU to WINDOWS machine, I get time-out. If I try to connect from a windows machine to other windows machine, it works.
[13:53] <arvind_khadri> simmerz, :) thats so mean
[13:53] <rwycuff> Saint`Dia:no its gates trying to take over your mind cause he detected yuo are no longer going along with thier tran of thought
[13:53] <m3dvt> im new to linux lol
[13:53] <maek> where can you get a faster connection Saint`Dia ??
[13:53] <jatt> !lol
[13:53] <ubotu> Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks.
[13:53] <arvind_khadri> soulc did u try their official site??
[13:53] <Saint`Dia> rwycuff: LoL, I -was- making programs for windows. But I have defected!
[13:53] <soulc> also the default entry in host.deny is ALL:PARANOID never seen that I am used to ALL:ALL
[13:53] <annonymouse> m3dvt:  they have a uk mailing list that is well worth  subing to
[13:54] <soulc> oh yeah
[13:54] <Saint`Dia> Whoa lol came from IRC?
[13:54] <Saint`Dia> Did it not..
[13:54] <m3dvt> ok thanks for that
[13:54] <jatt> came from AmericaOnLine
[13:54] <soulc> I always look on my own before asking irc channels
[13:54] <Saint`Dia> *shivers*
[13:54] <annonymouse> Saint`Dia:  the point is this is for Q and A not  idle gossip we have a off topic chanel for that
[13:54] <Saint`Dia> Well, I use it alot on my server, kills me not to type it.
[13:55] <Pici> !offtopic | please take offtopic discussion elsewhere
[13:55] <ubotu> please take offtopic discussion elsewhere: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[13:55] <Saint`Dia> annonymouse: Yeah I get it.

[13:59] <mormon> another small question. can ubuntu copy-everything-to-ram during booting?
[13:59] <Ravenkin> how do you edit a .cfg file in terminal?
[13:59] <m3dvt> thats ok thanks
[13:59] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; right legacy is the old drivers. totally disables them.
[13:59] <alphakamp> nano
[13:59] <Nith> Ravenkin: easy way , nano <file>

[13:59] <Ravenkin> thanks
[13:59] <Nith> Ravenkin: more advanced way, vim <file>
[14:00] <tommmied> bastid_raZor, I appreciate all your help! Thanks.
[14:00] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; i should have thought to search the forums.. i'm not thinking this morning.. too many hours of work.
[14:01] <tommmied> bastid, it wasn't that easy to find, I searched for a few hours
[14:01] <tommmied> you always get side tracked to something else
[14:01] <m3dvt> 1 more .. is there some software for linux for the blind to work a laptop and this is not a joke ?
[14:01] <tommmied> that could be the reason but never is :-/
[14:01] <bastid_raZor> tommmied; glad i could lead you in circles until you found the fix :)
[14:01] <tommmied> haha thanks

[14:13] <soulc> thanks
[14:13] <fevel> im having trouble turning on desktop effects. It used to work but not anymore
[14:13] <fevel> it says "cant turn on desktop effects"
[14:14] <arvind_khadri> fevel did u disable your drivers???are they restricted ones??
[14:14] <fevel> the 3d drivers are installed. I have reconfigured xorg a couple of days ago...should I add something to the device section?
[14:14] <satu> matrix.dal.net
[14:14] <Dr_willis> reinstall your video card drivers for a start. check your kernel also. You may be running a different kernel now.
[14:15] <fevel> arvind_khadri,  yes they are restricted ones but are not disabled, effects used to work
[14:15] <Dr_willis> i noticed a few weeks ago the 386 kernel gettting installed when i should of been using the -generic kernel
[14:15] <fevel> Dr_willis, I just reinstalled it but didnt do the trick
[14:15] <arvind_khadri> fevel, follow what Dr said...
[14:15] <Dr_willis> what does 'uname -a' show.
[14:16] <arvind_khadri> Dr_willis, try uname --help :)
[14:16] <soulc> thanks for your help this morning
[14:16] <fevel> Dr_willis,  Linux ZionRunner 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 02:46:46 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[14:17] <Dr_willis> I just use -a since its all on 1 line anyway. but my issue i had a few weeks back was with hardy.  Not Gutsy. It dosent seem to be his issue anyway.
[14:17] <fevel> shouldnt I add something to the device section on xorg ? turning it to "1"
[14:18] <Dr_willis> fevel,  what kind of video card?
[14:18] <fevel> Dr_willis,  geforce
[14:18] <Nith> sounds like fevel is talking about the composite option
[14:18] <fevel> Nith,
[14:18] <fevel> yes
[14:19] <Dr_willis> fevel,  No idea on the '1'bit..  :) be sure the driver is set to 'Nvidia' not 'nv' for one thing..
[14:19] <Dr_willis> my xorg.conf for an example   Vista is a challenge to get stuff working
[14:19] <Dr_willis> oops wrong paste,,
[14:19] <Dr_willis> my xorg.conf for an example   http://pastebin.com/fb0d0b7
[14:19] <frozenskun1> Can someone tell me why I (sometimes) get special characters displayed incorrectly. For example, a " shows as &quot and & displays as &amp. It seems to be particularly prevalent in pages and email with html. Seems like it should just be a font or character set setting or something, but I have googled around with no luck.
[14:19] <alphakamp> anyone able to play Tf2 or CS:S in wine with out the sound being garbled and X crashing when you close the game
[14:19] <fevel> Nith,  Mine doesnt have the composite option, should I add it?
[14:20]  * Nith wont touch vid questions
[14:20] <Nith> sorry, me and ubuntu's history with video cards has been rough
[14:20] <Dr_willis> Nith,  thats just why i pasted my working xorg.conf to let him compare. :)
[14:20] <Dr_willis> Its night time for me. bye all.
[14:20] <fevel> Dr_willis,  thanks ...just missed that
[14:20] <Nith> only advice I'll give is google your card name with "ubuntu" in front of it and you will likely find a tutorial
[14:20] <Nith> Dr_willis: nn
[14:23] <Tarsinion> Hi, can anyone help me to setup my grafik card on 8.04 ?
[14:23] <doktoreas> hello verybody..anyone with some experience customizing ubuntu livecd?
[14:24] <leche>  Tarsinion 1: metaquestion, 2: what graphics card do you have?
[14:24] <Nith> lol, metaquestion. i'm stealing that
[14:24] <Tarsinion> I do not understand what happened to xorg.conf ... there is no grafik card at all listed, but its working with kind of vesa driver
[14:24] <Tarsinion> its a radeon 9250, but i cant find a place to switch to "radeon" or "ati" driver
[14:25] <alphakamp> all i know about livecd customs is the is the recontructor package
[14:25] <leche> Tarsinion:theres no device section?
[14:25]  * Nith suggest backing up the xorg.conf file before modifying it less the world may come crumbling down
[14:25] <Tarsinion> leche: Section "Device"
[14:25] <Tarsinion>         Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
[14:25] <jrib> tarsinion: support for hardy is in #ubuntu+1
[14:25] <Tarsinion> thats all ...
[14:26] <Tarsinion> oh sorry jrib
[14:26] <frozenskun1> Hello, Can someone tell me why I (sometimes) get special characters displayed incorrectly. For example, a " shows as &quot and & displays as &amp. It seems to be particularly prevalent in pages and email with html. Seems like it should just be a font or character set setting or something, but I have googled around with no luck.
[14:26] <leche> Tarsinion: yes, first at all you should backup what you have
[14:26] <Tarsinion> leche: already done :)
[14:27] <gatestone> How can I have a virtual screen size bigger than my real 1280x800? So that some problematic fixed size windows will fit on screen, especially when you can nnot move them up through the top of the screen?
[14:27] <gatestone> leechblock has such a too-big fixed options dialog.
[14:27] <Nith> frozenskun1: your issue is likely with the charset, beyond that I dunno
[14:27] <keit1> tracker _never_ returns any results for me when I search for stuff that is blatantly there in plain sight.  I had this trouble before and re-indexed everything and it worked straight after but then the next time i tried it's screwed again.  It seems pretty useless to me - beagle didn't have this trouble and gnome-do seems lightning quick compared to both.  is this the default for future releases too?  can I get it working properly?
[14:27] <frozenskun1> That's what I figured, where abouts do I find that to mess it up further? ;-)
[14:28] <Piero_Scarufii> PriceChild
[14:29] <keit1> also has anyone noticed gltiches during the screensaver when using compiz-fusion and an ati card whilst having a webpage open that uses flash?
[14:29] <Saint`Dia> Having DVD issues, I got the plugins and whatnot. But totem, the player that came with this install, says it can't read from source. Is that a copyright issue?
[14:29] <failesx> Piero_Scarufii: its not very polite to mention someone unless its to clarify who when multiple convos are going on yanno
[14:31] <Nith> frozenskun1: /etc/environments has the LANG parameter, I think thats what I was playing with before giving up
[14:31] <frozenskun1> Nith: So do you have the same issue then?
[14:32] <Nith> frozenskun1: on websites no
[14:32] <Nith> with some terminal programs yeah
[14:32] <frozenskun1> Nith: Mine is the opposite, no problems in terminals at all (that I recall) but email and web pages quite frequently...
[14:33] <Nith> frozenskun1: are you using firefox?
[14:33] <Piero_Scarufii> Seveas can i speak to you please if you are here?
[14:34] <frozenskun1> Nith: Yes, FF and Evolution
[14:34] <barry_> back
[14:34] <Nith> frozenskun1: tools --> options --> advance (beside fonts) and the pulldown near the bottom is default encoding
[14:34] <Nith> mine is iso-8859-1
[14:35] <Nith> as for Evolution, I use thunderbird sorry
[14:35] <gatestone> Is it possible to move windows through the top of the screen, with "Right-click window top bar, Move, use mouse"? Normally it is not but is there somewgere a setting to allow this?
[14:35] <Nith> gatestone: hold alt and click anywhere
[14:35] <Nith> gatestone: left click specifically, an you can move it anywhere by doing that
[14:35] <Nith> gatestone: middle click can also be used to resize while holding alt
[14:35] <atul> Hi 16:~/wxWidgets-2.8.7 make gives error like ./include/wx/defs.h:212: error: redeclaration of C++ built-in type ‘bool’ why so ?
[14:36] <rvalles> I'm going to install 8.04 from this. Any known problem with today's image? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current/hardy-dvd-amd64.iso
[14:36] <Pici> rvalles: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion.
[14:36] <gatestone> Thx, Nith. I don't think it is consistent that it happens differently in these too cases.
[14:37] <rvalles> Pici: thanks
[14:37] <Nith> gatestone: I have had problems doing that with rdesktop, but if you grab the titlebar using alt, it pretty much always works
[14:37] <frozenskun1> Nith: I am using FF <IP_ADDRESS>, and don't have an options selection under tools, if I choose Edit>Prefs>Advaced>General I get a languages selection, mine is currently set to EN-US, which I don't think is what I am looking for
[14:38] <gatestone> Nith, now I see the logic! It makes sense that you can not move it with the method 1, because then you loose the bar and can not get it back!!!
[14:38] <binhan> hi,guys
[14:39] <frozenskun1> Nith: in my /etc/environment file I have LANG="en_US.UTF-8" is there something more appropriate? (For example, an ISO set?)
[14:39]  * Nith is also using FF <IP_ADDRESS> and does not have Prefs under Edit.... wierd
[14:39] <Nith> that the one I'm currently using
[14:39] <Nith> sorry frozenskun1
[14:40] <Nith> gatestone: another method is if you've got pagers attached to your panels ,you can drag those and it will move the window
[14:41] <frozenskun1> Nith: I just double checked, and my FF menus are as I described, that is very weird, wonder what led to that... Thanks for your help though!
[14:41] <Nith> by those I mean the window representations on the pagers though
[14:41] <Nith> frozenskun1: did you install FF from the repos?
[14:42] <sivel> any way to get my usb headset to work?
[14:42] <frozenskun1> Nith: Not sure, this particular box was originally installed as Dapper (I think) and has been upgraded ever since, so it has been installed/upgraded several times through the years.
[14:43] <barry_> back
[14:43] <Nith> oh, ok. Mine are fresh gutsy installs so maybe your .mozilla file contains an alternate menu or something
[14:44] <Nith> that said, maybe purging and reinstalling would work for you
[14:45] <moDumass> hey all, if my internet is slow, but not if i use ip address only, is there any thing other than DNS that could be the problem?
[14:46] <bastid_raZor> moDumass; i would bet you have ISP issues.
[14:46] <pc-illiterate> can someone help me with the new enemy territory update ?
[14:46] <moDumass> bastid_raZor, ok, other than ISP issues, since no one else seems to be mashing like I mash
[14:47] <genii> moDumass: DNS is obviously the best suspect since by IP works faster.
[14:47] <james_> Evince document viewer is displaying things like they are really zoomed out. 400% zoom only makes them about an inch wide :S
[14:48] <Piero_Scarufii> Does anyone know what the name is of this application with the graph pie that shows the hd diskusage?
[14:48] <moDumass> genii i figured it was but ive set my router to go to the 2 fastes DNS servers in our area and still, super crap, its random, slow for about 30 seconds then BAM uberfast
[14:48] <moDumass> but sometimes slow for 5 mins then BAM uberfast
[14:48] <quaal> why has my computer rebooted to an orange asterisk
[14:49] <erUSUL> Piero_Scarufii: baobad ? Aplications>Accesories>disk usage
[14:50] <Scunizi> moDumass, could be bad amps on the lines in your area.. cox has FINALLY begun upgrading my area that had lines and amp left over from a different comapny from 15 years ago.
[14:51] <genii> moDumass: Check /etc/resolv.conf   for inconsistencies from what the router is using, possibly also /etc/hosts.conf and make sure localhost entries at top.
[14:51] <moDumass> Scunizi. hmm, I live in the CBD, I sync at 24megs a second down, and this is a problem that started after a "partial upgrade" and I dont know how to fix it, i doubt that it has anything to do with my ISP
[14:52] <sayers> How do I convert a video that is 1280x1024 high quality and in oggvorbis down to something lesser of the quality scale?
[14:52] <moDumass> thanks genii doin it now
[14:52] <Scunizi> moDumass, you're probably right.. I just jumped in and didn't have access to any prior info you may have posted.
[14:53] <Scunizi> sayers, devede?
[14:53] <moDumass> Scunizi, thats cool, thanks anyway
[14:53] <sayers> Scunizi, Can that convert to ogg ?
[14:53] <Scunizi> :)
[14:53] <moDumass> genii resolve.conf has my router as the top nameserver
[14:53] <bastid_raZor> sayers; mencoder
[14:54] <moDumass> genii then 7 other ip addresses that all look foreign
[14:54] <bastid_raZor> sayers; oh mencoder.. i'm not sure if it can or not.. man mencoder though will tell you more about it
[14:54] <Scunizi> sayers, I haven't used it a bunch.. check synaptic and search for video or trancoder.. something similiar and you'll get a list of things to read.. also check out www.getdeb.net
[14:55] <moDumass> genii and hosts.conf is empty
[14:55] <genii> moDumass: Put <IP_ADDRESS> localhost      in there as second entry and then if the others look foreign, comment them out with # and then look them up on someplace like dnsstuff.com to see how far away from you they are.
[14:56] <moDumass> genii is this in hosts.conf?
[14:56] <genii> moDumass: I'll pastebin a standard /etc/hosts    file for you to copy and paste in
[14:56] <moDumass> thanks
[14:56] <mdgeorge> hello
[14:56] <moDumass> thats in resolv, cool
[14:56] <genii> moDumass: No, in the /etc/resolv.conf (the revious instructions)
[14:56] <genii> *previous
[14:56] <sivel> any way to get my gigaware usb headset to work? its labeled in lsusb as Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0d8c:000c C-Media Electronics, Inc. Audio Adapter
[14:57] <mdgeorge> I have a funny-shaped screen, so that when I use the virtual terminal (ctrl-alt-f1) the left and right ends are cut off, and it's a lcd so I can't adjust it
[14:57] <mdgeorge> I was wondering if there was any way I could fix that
[14:58] <bastid_raZor> mdgeorge; have you tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[14:58] <genii> moDumass: Fairly stock /etc/hosts     file contents here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62719/
[14:59] <mdgeorge> bastid_raZor: why would that help?  X works fine, it's the virtual terminal that doesn't
[14:59] <moDumass> thanks, im still posting the pastebin for my resolv.conf
[14:59] <moDumass> genii, thanks
[14:59] <bastid_raZor> mdgeorge; oh.. in that case.. you said funny shaped screen.. i thought you  implied the desktop as well
[15:00] <mdgeorge> bastid_raZor: no, sorry.  I meant my monitor has 1280x1024 resolution
[15:00] <Todd> when i rotate my 3D desktop,the totem window will turn blue,any suggestions?
[15:00] <mdgeorge> it's not in 640x480 proportions
[15:01] <Scunizi> mdgeorge, thats not a funny shaped screen .. it use to be the standard shape.. It's what I  use.. square almost..
[15:02] <pc-illiterate> what i use too but mine isnt rotated
[15:02] <Todd> when i rotate my 3D desktop,the totem window will turn blue,any suggestions?
[15:02] <yan> where is it ????
[15:03] <mdgeorge> Scunizi: all I mean is that it's not what the graphics card is expecting in text mode, so that things are getting cut off on the ends
[15:03] <Oprtz> just install ubuntu 7.10, want to install compiz or beryl, which is the best among them ? i want to use cube effects? and where to get these software? thanks

[15:04] <wizo> hey, what do i have to search in apt get for teh JRE or JDK? i'm trying to get eclipse to run
[15:04] <genii> moDumass: OK, reading
[15:04] <yan> who can tall me where is it?
[15:04] <stephan_> what is the easiest way to install ndiswrapper
[15:05] <arvind_khadri> yan, what is where???
[15:05] <erUSUL> !ndiswrapper
[15:05] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[15:05] <genii> moDumass: I just noticed in my previous paste I also copied in by mistake 3 lines at bottom from my console, just remove them in your version
[15:05] <Scunizi> mdgeorge, yea.. I went  back and read your previous post.. does your monitor have a "self adjust" button?  some do. Otherwise asking again later stating that terminal resolution looses right and left edges on lcd monitor.. things pickup in here in the next hour or so.. also about 10 hrs from now
[15:05] <Todd> when i rotate my 3D desktop,the totem window will turn blue,can anyone help me?
[15:05] <moDumass> will do
[15:05] <mdgeorge> wizo: sun-java-jdk
[15:06] <Oprtz> when i write compiz fusion in ADD/REMOVE program, it says no program found :( why is that?;
[15:06] <wizo> mdgeorge: oh so that's what it's call, haha thanks! btw, which one should i use, JDK or JRE?
[15:06] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, synaptic
[15:06] <moDumass> genii, done, removed 3 lines
[15:06] <mdgeorge> wizo: jdk is the compiler and everything you need to compile, jre is just the runtime system
[15:06] <Oprtz> arvind_khadri:  ok letme try
[15:07] <stephan_> how do i extract with a command?
[15:07] <wizo> mdgeorge: so i guess i just need the JRE to run eclipse huh?
[15:07] <stephan_> its telling me to extract with: tar -zxvf ndiswrapper-version.tar.gz
[15:07] <jrib> stephan_: extract what?
[15:07] <yan> I don't know about this chat
[15:07] <Scunizi> stephan_, that is the command to extract
[15:07] <mdgeorge> Scunizi: I don't see anything like that.  I'll try back later.  Thanks
[15:07] <Todd> stephan_, just do it
[15:07] <marx2k> Anyone here use naim?
[15:07] <Pici> !support
[15:07] <ubotu> The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org
[15:07] <stephan_> yes, do i have to put the archive in a certain directory?
[15:07] <hyr4x>  java
[15:08] <mdgeorge> wizo: true, unless you want to use it to compile java programs
[15:08] <wizo> btw, how come jdk or jre is not marked for installation when i install eclipse
[15:08] <jrib> stephan_: are you following the wiki page ubotu linked you to?
[15:08] <wizo> hmm, maybe i'll just get jdk then, just in case i need it in the future, thanks mdgeorge
[15:08] <ChaosTheory^> How do I change the default terminal profile on terminal startup? I changed my profile to one without a menu bar so I can't go and edit it. :D
[15:08] <mdgeorge> wizo: I'm guessing because you could conceivably want to install an alternate jre
[15:08] <stephan_> yes i am
[15:08] <stephan_> thats what its telling me to do
[15:08] <Scunizi> stephan_, if it's currently sitting on your desktop you might create a directory/folder to put it in before extracting.. you could end up with a screen full of files.
[15:08] <jrib> stephan_: what page exactly?
[15:09] <mdgeorge> wizo: by the way, I found the package by running apt-cache search jre which you might try in the future
[15:09] <Oprtz> arvind_khadri:  strange 2 compiz application is already selected, but i never download compiz. if they installed by chance, how to get 3D effect ?

[15:09] <DJones> !compiz > Oprtz
[15:09] <wizo> mdgeorge: oh i was searching runtime enviroment...virtual machine.. lol
[15:09] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, try man compiz
[15:10] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz google about...compiz comes by default
[15:10] <Oprtz> pl
[15:10] <Oprtz> arvind_khadri: : ok dear
[15:10] <stephan_> the network manager that is default with ubuntu is not connecting to a certain network
[15:10] <stephan_> it works at home fine, but not here
[15:10] <Pici> Oprtz: Go to System>Preferences>Appearance and one of the tabs is desktop effects (or similar)
[15:11] <DJones> !ccsm | Oprtz: You need to install CCSM to enable tou control compiz once you've got it set up and the basic functions working

[15:11] <marx2k> So, anyone here use naim?
[15:11] <Scunizi> stephan_, probably because of a password.. encryption wep or wpa?
[15:11] <Oprtz> CCSM ? oh my linux is difficult :)
[15:12] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, ccsm=compiz config settings manager
[15:12] <stephan_> scunizi, there is no WPA (at school) and it tries to connect, but wont pull an IP
[15:12] <Scunizi> Oprtz, just different.. ccsm is compiz configuration settings manager
[15:13] <Luke771> is there a way to make compiz/beryl work on a multimonitor setup?
[15:13] <Oprtz> arvind_khadri:  do i also need to install ccsm? if yes in add/remove programs ?
[15:13] <aschmack> Oprtz, go to accesories -> terminal
[15:13] <Pici> Oprtz: You need to get the basic functionality of compiz working first.
[15:13] <Oprtz> aschmack:  ok
[15:13] <aschmack> and type "sudo apt-get install compiz-config-settings-manager"
[15:13] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, use sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[15:13] <aschmack> then type your password and hit enter
[15:14] <TheFrugalGeek> hi
[15:14] <Scunizi> stephan_, don't most schools lock down access in some fashion? You might end up needing to contact the Is dept.. :/
[15:14] <Oprtz> it says 11 resource tememeraly not available
[15:14] <|Dede|> what was the command for viewing hardware again? "dmi..something"
[15:15] <marx2k> lspci?
[15:15] <|Dede|> no
[15:15] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, do u have synaptic running in BG
[15:15] <aschmack> stephan_,  they probably just disabled dhcp, just try random addresses in the class c ranges
[15:15] <|Dede|> that would be pci, marx2k
[15:15] <Oprtz> yes
[15:15] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, close it :)
[15:15] <omar_> Guys can we say the Gobuntu is similar to Gentoo in terms of the idea?

[15:18] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, sudo apt-get install gnome-compiz-manager .....do this

It would be good to look up the numbers there and see if it makes sense to keep them as DNS entries. If they make sense to keep (near you and/or fast) then to uncomment them as needed.

[15:19] <Pici> omar_: No, gentoo makes you compile everything, gobuntu is not like that.
[15:19] <Scunizi> Oprtz, go to System>Admin>Synaptic Package Manager and click the search button.. now type compiz.. in the resulting list you'll find the program you're looking for.

[15:21] <CShadowRun> Does anyone know of a good IRC client like mIRC, but for linux? I'm looking for something that's easily modifiable, has good documentation, and the ability to tile windows :)
[15:21] <arvind_khadri> CShadowRun, xchat
[15:21] <MadProcessor> CShadowRun: XChat
[15:21] <DJones> CShadowRun: xchat
[15:21] <caveymason> then what?
[15:21] <arvind_khadri> DJones, :)
[15:21] <CShadowRun> has good documentation
[15:21] <amenado> CShadowRun-> you do know you can run mirc on linux using wine right?
[15:21] <CShadowRun> xchats website is beyond broken
[15:22] <arvind_khadri> caveymason, check the volume levels there
[15:22] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, you there??

[15:22] <Oprtz> Scunizi:  i cheked software source

[15:22] <Oprtz> its installing
[15:22] <CShadowRun> amenado alot of the scripting functions in mIRC don't work properly in wine, it has alot of isuses :)
[15:22] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, :) good
[15:22] <marx2k> caveymason: alsamixer is pretty self explanatory
[15:22] <CShadowRun> so, xchat has no documentation
[15:22] <DJones> CShadowRun: Its included in the repo's, sudo apt-get install xchat should install it
[15:22] <CShadowRun> any sensible suggestions ? :)
[15:22] <amenado> CShadowRun-> so your claim of good is then hogwash..its all relative..
[15:22] <caveymason> i have like a 7.1 card but im only using 2.1 at the moment could that be why?
[15:22] <aschmack> CShadowRun, just whatever you do, dont install xchat-gnome
[15:22] <Oprtz> arvind_khadri:  after that what is the command to use in terminal ?
[15:23] <CShadowRun> o.O
[15:23] <marx2k> caveymason: how do you know youre only using 2.1?
[15:23] <CShadowRun> i mean i went to xchats website (xchat.org) and most of the links are broken
[15:23] <CShadowRun> it frustrated me more than anything else.
[15:23] <caveymason> i got it :)
[15:23] <Todd> when i rotate my 3D desktop,the totem window will turn blue,any suggestions?
[15:23] <CShadowRun> so as i said in my original question, window tiling, good documentation and scripting :p
[15:23] <mosibfu> CShadowRun, xchat-guile is the xchat scripting engine, its quite good, dont know if it comes with doc tho
[15:24] <CShadowRun> hehe, kinda useless if it don't have docs, how are you supposed to use it without docs >.>
[15:24] <CShadowRun> guess? lol
[15:24] <Pici> CShadowRun: Try the in-program help.
[15:24] <Pici> or the manpages.
[15:24] <mosibfu> CShadowRun, but there must be some proper docs for it, Guile is the GNU Scheme implementation, and the official GNU scripting language.
[15:25] <CShadowRun> hmm
[15:25] <CShadowRun> ok, i'll take another look at xchat
[15:25] <CShadowRun> even though there website makes me want to stab someone, lets hope the client is better :p
[15:25] <CK_MY> any mp3 cutter for ubuntu ?
[15:25] <mosibfu> the scripting language is guile ;) find their docs and you shuld be doing fine, imho the client is better then mirc cuz it comes less complicated out of the box
[15:26] <CShadowRun> so do i want xchat or xchat-gnome?
[15:26] <Scunizi> CK_MY, cutter? you mean editor?  audacity
[15:26] <Scunizi> xchat
[15:26] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, sorry wasnt around
[15:26] <mosibfu> xchat and xchat-guile   guile docs are: http://static.fi/~zeenix/xchat-guile/
[15:26] <DJones> CShadowRun: xchat is the better version, xchat-gnome is a cut down version
[15:26] <CShadowRun> kk :)
[15:26] <Oprtz> arvind_khadri:  no problem
[15:26] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, try issuing compiz
[15:27] <CK_MY> Scunizi, yes i edit for my phone ringtone
[15:27] <alexvd> hello trying to do upgrade from gusty to hardy heron but the update manager is hanging on the first step.  I have uncommented out all third party repositories and applied all new updates.  Anyone know a way to get this to work?
[15:27] <Scunizi> CK_MY, Audicity will work fine.. however you may have to read the docs to see how to get mp3 working.
[15:27] <CK_MY> Scunizi, no GUI ?
[15:28] <Scunizi> alexvd, try #ubuntu+1
[15:28] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, and do install CCSM too
[15:28] <alexvd> scunizi: is that another channel on freenode?
[15:28] <Scunizi> CK_MY, ah.. you didnt mention that before... sorry I don't know..
[15:28] <arvind_khadri> aleX-xx, YEAH
[15:28] <Scunizi> alexvd, yes.. for Hardy support
[15:29] <sivel> anyone have a fix for a usb headset? lsusb shows it, as does alsamixer, but sound still comes out of the reg speajers
[15:29] <sivel> speakers
[15:29] <aschmack> ck_my, i think that xmms2 has a command line interface
[15:29] <aschmack> CK_MY, there's also mpg123
[15:29] <arvind_khadri> mpg123 rocks :)
[15:30] <CK_MY> aschmack, i will try thanks
[15:30] <aschmack> np
[15:30] <Oprtz> arvind_khadri: : i use this command and its starts downloading   sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[15:30] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, yeah thats correct
[15:30] <cshadowrun> ok, i'm in xchat :)
[15:30] <marx2k> Anyone here use naim?
[15:30] <cshadowrun> how would i get it to tile windows?
[15:31] <Oprtz> :)
[15:31] <Oprtz> arvind_khadri:  i wish i learb terminal commands like you guys learned
[15:31] <Scunizi> cshadowrun, go to the tab and right mouse click and choose detatch
[15:31] <Oprtz> Terminal is very scary
[15:31] <ChaosTheory^> marx2k: Can you use naim on Ubuntu?
[15:31] <cshadowrun> ah i see, yea detatched it
[15:31] <ChaosTheory^> How can you reset the default terminal profile through terminal, without using the menu bar?
[15:31] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, :) its not scary,jus spend time with it,read docs about it
[15:32] <cshadowrun> then i can use beryl to tile them
[15:32] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, i love terminal more than the GUI,its easy to use
[15:32] <cshadowrun> i mean compiz, it's compiz now lol
[15:32] <marx2k> ChaosTheory^: of course
[15:32] <cshadowrun> any way to make windows automatically open detatched?
[15:32] <marx2k> default terminal profile?
[15:32] <ChaosTheory^> marx2k: Trying it out. =P
[15:32] <ChaosTheory^> marx2k: Naim was one of the main reasons I switched to Ubuntu. XD
[15:32] <marx2k> :)
[15:32] <Scunizi> cshadowrun, not sure
[15:33] <cshadowrun> Scunizi, aww.
[15:33] <ChaosTheory^> marx2k: Do you know how to fix my problem?
[15:33] <marx2k> I have an issue in naim though where it keeps sending people blank messages every few minutes... cant figure out why
[15:33] <gh0st> hello, how can i set my case fan speed?
[15:33] <marx2k> ChaosTheory^: Im not really sure what your problem is
[15:33] <ChaosTheory^> marx2k: I made a new profile in terminal where the menu bar was disabled and I set it as my default. =P
[15:34] <Scunizi> cshadowrun, now if you want to irc on cli.. irssi is the bomb .. then if y ou combine it with screen you've got an environment that can be fun
[15:34] <ChaosTheory^> marx2k: I want to go back to my default profile.
[15:34] <cshadowrun> hehe yea i've played with IRSSI, problem with it is its not GUI
[15:34] <cshadowrun> and i like my mouse :(
[15:34] <marx2k> ChaosTheory^: not sure. I dont use terminal. when I use naim, I am ssh'ing to my home linux box (like now) via PuTTY
[15:34] <quaal> are md raid5 disks supposed to be checked on boot
[15:34] <ChaosTheory^> marx2k: Oh, I see.
[15:34] <mormon> irssi is insecure
[15:34] <marx2k> mormon: how so?
[15:34] <miturburu__> helo
[15:35] <ChaosTheory^> marx2k: Actually, I think centerim is pretty easy to use. =P
[15:35] <quaal> mormons are insecure
[15:35] <mormon> irssi leak your info too much
[15:35] <cshadowrun> Scunizi http://cshadowrun.googlepages.com/mycomputer.PNG that's what i'm trying to achieve :)
[15:35] <marx2k> ?
[15:35] <cshadowrun> bottem left 2 displays with the window tiles :p
[15:35] <arvind_khadri> bazhang, hey u around
[15:35] <mormon> and you have no option to fix that
[15:35] <miturburu__> Any one own a motherboard pcchips k750m? Google just throws me  results about the sony phone
[15:35] <mormon> tha's irssi
[15:35] <marx2k> mormon: How do you mean it leaks your info?
[15:35] <miturburu__> I need to know how much memory I can put in it
[15:35] <mormon> hehehe, it's secret
[15:35] <arvind_khadri> is there anyway to remove unused libs??
[15:36] <erUSUL> arvind_khadri: deborphan
[15:36] <arvind_khadri> not autoremove
[15:36] <erUSUL> !info deborphan > arvind_khadri
[15:36] <Scunizi> mormon, irssi.. did I miss type.. oops
[15:36] <aschmack> cshadowrun,  how many monitors do you have?
[15:36] <mormon> is there any bitchx fan in here?
[15:37] <cshadowrun> currently? 9
[15:37] <cshadowrun> that's an old screenshot ;)
[15:37] <cshadowrun> although i'm not using them all, i'm trying to cut down :)
[15:37] <marx2k> mormon: Uh, considering some of us use irssi, you may want to 'let us in' on the secret
[15:37]  * cshadowrun is aiming at using just 2 computers with 5 or 6 displays :p
[15:37] <aschmack> :O
[15:38] <aschmack> and, does anyone have a g15 in here
[15:38] <ChaosTheory^> marx2k: Just installed, having the same problem, too.
[15:38] <cshadowrun> yes, i have a G15
[15:38] <marx2k> ChaosTheory^: weir,d right? I dont get it..
[15:38] <cshadowrun> aschmack i have a G15 :)
[15:38] <ChaosTheory^> marx2k: CenterIM is a better text-based client. =P
[15:38] <aschmack> do you have libg15 running yet
[15:39] <cshadowrun> aschmack no, i tried to get it to work and it kept saying i didn't have libg15render installed, even though i did.
[15:39] <Darcklau> hello
[15:39] <xsacha> hi, i use biosplash.xpm.gz as my grub bootsplash.. if i overwrite biosplash.xpm.gz with another image which is a larger size, will it still work?
[15:39] <arvind_khadri> Oprtz, so is that working??
[15:40] <Darcklau> i have a problem whit my ubuntu 7.10 install on ga-p31-ds3l mobo, no acces to the install option
[15:41] <arvind_khadri> can ubuntu be installed in cell phone???
[15:41] <xsacha> there is Ubuntu Mobile
[15:41] <arvind_khadri> xsacha, where do i find it??
[15:41] <xsacha> arvind_khadri: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile
[15:41] <alx54555> hi there! my hdd just crashed, i am booting from live/cd now... anyone know a good site where is explained how to mount my drive from kubuntu/live/cd *cantfindquestionmark*
[15:42] <Darcklau> shift+/ give u the ?
[15:42] <ChaosTheory^> marx2k: I'm getting blank messages from myself even after uninstall naim.
[15:42] <arvind_khadri> xsacha, but thats something for the higher end...i meant something for the not so higher end...like mototola E6
[15:43] <marx2k> ChaosTheory^: Ok... that is REALLY weird.. dont know what to tell you on that one :) You sure it's not running? (Even though you uninstalled it)
[15:43] <erUSUL> arvind_khadri: open a terminal do sudo -i; once root → mount -t auto /dev/sdxx /mnt/
[15:43] <xsacha> alx54555: ^^
[15:43] <alx54555> darcklau right but i got german keyboard *smiley*
[15:43] <ChaosTheory^> marx2k: Yes.
[15:43] <ChaosTheory^> marx2k: . . . -_-"
[15:43] <arvind_khadri> erUSUL, thanks
[15:43] <erUSUL> arvind_khadri: /dev/sdxx is the partition device it could be /dev/hdxx where in both cases xx is a1 a2 a5 b4 depending on the configuration of your disks
[15:44] <arvind_khadri> erUSUL, have you tried it???
[15:44] <erUSUL> arvind_khadri: fdisk -l would give you a list of your partitions should be easy to espot the one you need to mount
[15:44] <arvind_khadri> erUSUL, thats for a mobile right??
[15:44] <alx54555> xsacha hey could u please help me instead of `` pleeeese
[15:44] <alx54555> hi there! my hdd just crashed, i am booting from live/cd now... anyone know a good site where is explained how to mount my drive from kubuntu/live/cd *cantfindquestionmark*
[15:44] <wers> I have installed prism. I'm trying it now but whenever I try to convert a website to application, I get "Please choose a shortcut location" even if I have already chosen an image
[15:44] <nextstep> does anyone know of a program for ubuntu that will take a full system image of your machine, sort of like ghost.  Obviously will have to be a live CD since you wouldnt be able to do that from inside the OS
[15:44] <wers> any idea? :)
[15:44] <xsacha> alx54555: erUSUL is talking to you but mistakenly using "arvind"'s name
[15:45] <xsacha> alx54555: that is what i meant by ^^ (arrows, look up)
[15:45] <erUSUL> arvind_khadri: o sorry my comments are for alx54555 .... somehow tab comletion has betrayed me :|
[15:45] <alx54555> aah erusul ok
[15:45] <tomd123> does ubuntu 8.04 alternate have an option to install just base system, no gnome?
[15:45] <jrib> nextstep: partimage
[15:45] <flea> nextstep: dd
[15:45] <Pici> tomd123: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion.
[15:45] <erUSUL> alx54555: see my comments to arvind_khadri ....
[15:45] <alx54555> ok thx erusul
[15:45] <arvind_khadri> erUSUL, thats ok,,,thats wat i was wondering
[15:45] <nextstep> thanks .. let me check partimage out ...
[15:46] <Pici> nextstep: mondo too
[15:46] <arvind_khadri> erUSUL, so any idea about embedded ubuntu...
[15:46] <nextstep> thanks
[15:46] <xsacha> arvind_khadri: no version of ubuntu for that i think
[15:46] <nextstep> after this last bout of explosions with hardy i have moved back to gutsy and want to prevent the reinstall for happening again .. :-D
[15:46] <xsacha> but there would be a few linux distros that would work fine
[15:47] <arvind_khadri> xsacha, hmm well can i find embedded linux for it atleast??
[15:47] <xsacha> it runs on linux standard
[15:47] <erUSUL> arvind_khadri: no sorry :|
[15:47] <MrBill> I've just installed Ubuntu Gutsy and configured Evolution for use with my email. Is there a way to get 2 way syncing with google calender yet? I've googled around a bit and only found old solutions that offer 1 way only.
[15:47] <nextstep> wow .. so partimage can work inside a running OS ?
[15:47] <arvind_khadri> xsacha, hmm would u mind naming them??
[15:48] <cshadowrun> my sound isn't working in xchat
[15:48] <humano> hi, can i add a route throug the interfaces file?
[15:48] <vlt> Hello. I got 4 weekly logfiles in /var/log/auth.log*   Where can I increase the number if these logfiles kept?
[15:49] <xsacha> arvind_khadri: not sure but since it comes with linux, im sure there would be some distros made to run on it
[15:49] <arvind_khadri> xsacha hmm thanks for that...any particular URL to search for it??
[15:49] <xsacha> arvind_khadri: you could probably just hack that linux it comes with
[15:50] <arvind_khadri> xsacha, i dont think it comes with linux as it freezes/hangs very often :) its symbian i guess
[15:50] <xsacha> arvind_khadri: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/68/MOTOROKR_E6_ScreenShot.png ... this one right?

[15:52] <MrBill> Scunizi: how labour intensive is it? Is there a better mail/calendar client I can/should be using that will make this task easier for myself?
[15:53] <xsacha> arvind_khadri: apparently all E6xx series are linux-based (they are the only linux E series) and ROKR E6 also linux-based
[15:53] <arvind_khadri> xsacha, hey that sounds cool
[15:53] <Scunizi> MrBill, you trying to have your calendar online and accessable anytime?
[15:54] <arvind_khadri> xsacha, but it hangs up a lot,would u tell me about L9 plzzz
[15:54] <xsacha> arvind_khadri: do you know which one is yours? is it rokr e6 or e6xx?
[15:54] <MrBill> Scunizi: yes, I'd like to be able to sync my google calendars (already in use and configured to share with other google calendar users) synced up with something on my desktop

[15:55] <arvind_khadri> xsacha, it hangs up a lot...
[15:55] <DJones> xsacha: arvind_khadri although its off topic, you could look into the openmoko project and its neo1973 mobile phone
[15:56] <xsacha> DJones: he wanted to know if he could get ubuntu on that phone
[15:56] <Scunizi> MrBill, since g-calendars only sync's one way right now.. it makes it tough.. evolution will sync for the desktop .. but pushing data back to calendar isn't happening yet.
[15:56] <arvind_khadri> DJones, do they have some irc??
[15:56] <donkey7186> I need help. Ever since my monitor messed up it takes me longer to load after logon. is there anyway to speed it up? or restore the computer to an earlier state??
[15:56] <DJones> xsacha: right, ok
[15:56] <MrBill> I know google has just released an app for windows that brings 2 way syncing to Outlook... was hoping there was a similar solution on the linux side.... I'm just in the process of moving from M$ to Ubuntu
[15:57] <MrBill> I will sit and be patient I guess, I'm sure someone will develop a solution at some point, seems like a feature that would be looked at by someone smarter than me at some point =)
[15:57] <Scunizi> MrBill, if they have an app.. there might be an api that could be used.. sometimes www.google.com/linux works better for finding info than www.google.com
[15:57] <DJones> arvind_khadri: I've heard of people using irc via a mobile phone, but I don't know what they used
[15:57] <xsacha> arvind_khadri: it's linux and it has gcc, so you can compile an irc client :)
[15:58] <nextstep> jrib:  in partimage how would you get it to do the main filesystem drive since it is mounted?
[15:58] <MrBill> ok, thanks for the help Scunizi
[15:58] <arvind_khadri> xsacha,  u mean on rokr E6
[15:58] <xsacha> yes
[15:58] <punzada> I use irc on my phone all the time, but it runs windows mobile.
[15:58] <Scunizi> MrBill, np.. welcome to the faternity
[15:58] <magnetron> cshadowrun: yes
[15:58] <arvind_khadri> Djones :) am asking that do openmoko ppl have an irc here
[15:58] <xsacha> yeah openmoko has irc too
[15:59] <arvind_khadri> xsacha, how bout L9
[15:59] <magnetron> cshadowrun: search for "mp3" in synaptic, you'll find a ton
[15:59] <Pici> arvind_khadri: yes, #openmoko
[15:59] <DJones> arvind_khadri: oh right, i don't know
[15:59] <donkey7186> I need help. Ever since my monitor messed up it takes me longer to load after logon. is there anyway to speed it up? or restore the computer to an earlier state??

[15:59] <magnetron> cshadowrun: mpg123 is famous
[15:59] <xsacha> arvind_khadri: whats L9? by the way, that motorola E6 comes WITH pidgin which has msn and irc i believe
[16:00] <Technoviking> can someone reply to me in chat, testing an irssi script
[16:00] <Stroganoff> Technoviking test

[16:00] <gatestone> Hey, here is a problem, two screenshots: http://flickr.com/photos/anssi/ has that been fixed in Hardy: oversize windows loose the bottom (Cancel and OK in the 2nd picture) and WITH NO VISUAL indication, so the user does not even know something is missing!

[16:02] <Scunizi> rsc___, you want to physically change the monitors?  don't .. turn things off first..
[16:02] <legend2440> nextstep: to use partimage on main filesystem you have to boot up from cd that has partimage. I use system rescue cd http://www.sysresccd.org/Download
