[02:05] <danbhfive> Uplink: read my message again
[02:05] <danbhfive> msk: apt-get, aptitude and synaptic are front ends to dpkg
[02:05] <FloodBot1> danbhfive: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:05] <|Zippo|> Gnea: did u get?
[02:06] <Uplink> danbhfive: oh sweet... 6gb on root /
[02:06] <secion8> @jrib: The one one apt Howto or for compiling sources. I still have both open
[02:06] <fallore> jrib: i did that and it's blank :/
[02:06] <natalie> could someone point me in the correct direction to get some assistance with this?
[02:06] <|Zippo|> Gnea: when I apply the patch I've got a lot of rejection errors
[02:06] <Hilikus> anyone has installed 8.1 on an msi wind? i want to know how automatic it was, i know that several things didnt work out of the box with teh previous one
[02:06] <msk> danbhfive: is there any difference between these frontends?
[02:06] <Uplink> danbhfive: but 6.1GB is been used already? :|
[02:06] <jrib> secion8: apt.  You're on the command that starts with 'dpkg-buildpackage'
[02:06] <Gnea> |Zippo|: yeah, i think we hit enter at the same time
[02:06] <jrib> fallore: did what?
[02:06] <fallore> jrib: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:06] <ezzieyguywuf> how can i check my specs in ubuntu? as in: what type of processore, how much memory, etc...
[02:07] <fallore> jrib: the command worked but it's not displaying any text
[02:07] <jrib> fallore: erm.  Are you positive you did not make a typo?
[02:07] <|Zippo|> ezzieyguywuf: free, uptime, uname
[02:07] <fallore> jrib: /etc/X11/xorg.conf right?
[02:07] <jrib> fallore: yeah
[02:07] <[-jesus-]> How do I run a .bin file in Ubuntu? I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 on a VM and want to setup java.
[02:08] <secion8> @Jrib: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b  ?
[02:08] <RobH1> jesus:  you can right-click the file and make it executable
[02:08] <jrib> [-jesus-]: java is in the repositories.  Install it using your favorite package manager, like synaptic
[02:08] <ezzieyguywuf> zippo: are those three diff commands?
[02:08] <jrib> !java > [-jesus-]
[02:08] <kgod> [-jesus-]: ./<binfile> in a terminal window.
[02:08] <Gnea> [-jesus-]: you don't need the .bin
[02:08] <fallore> jrib: when i run that command it DOES say "New File" at the bottom above the hotkey directions
[02:08] <CardiacKid> when I remote in, the resolution reverts to 800 x 600. What's going on?
[02:08] <jrib> fallore: you have to be making a typo
[02:08] <kgod> [-jesus-]: ... it needs to be executable first.  It's probably a script.
[02:08] <jrib> secion8: yes
[02:08] <secion8> @Jrib: I sthere a way to filter our messages in this channel using pidgin? I am getting a headache watching everything scroll.
[02:09] <fallore> jrib: didn't include first / before etc :P
[02:09] <MaT-dg> felix-da-catz: I'm back, seems to be the XP-machine that is the problem with pinging
[02:09] <jrib> secion8: not that I know, just watch the highlights
[02:09] <scunizi> secion8, use xchat instead.. much easier.
[02:09] <Gnea> okay, will the people giving misleading or incorrect information please not do so? kthx.
[02:09] <kgod> secion8: You can /ignore a lot of stuff, joins/quits for one makes it a lot saner.
[02:09] <kgod> Gnea: frex?
[02:09] <felix-da-catz> mat-dg:  That is what I thought.  :D  I would double check all of the firewall stuff.  Maybe a SP3 upgrade did something stupid to the machine as well.
[02:09] <Gnea> kgod: we support the Ubuntu-way in here.
[02:10] <CardiacKid> anyone? any ideas why I can only remote in at 800 x 600?
[02:10] <kgod> Gnea: ... ?
[02:10] <Freakin_Busy> how do i go about turning a box into a firewall and routing traffic through it?
[02:10] <fallore> jrib: now, am i editing the part with the Identifier "Configured Video Device" ?
[02:10] <scunizi> secion8, with xchat to ignore join/quits just right mouse click the channel and "un-tic" the messages line
[02:10] <xorlim> danbhfive: thanks. how do I get my supertux2 to work again? it says it is the latest version already. and it creates a memory overflow on libSDL.
[02:10] <natalie> also, can anyone tell me why I cannot seem to get VMWare to start-up correctly
[02:10] <jrib> fallore: right
[02:10] <pcly> hi
[02:10] <felix-da-catz> Freaking-Busy:  There are tons of how-tos on the net.  You need two NIC's.
[02:10] <Gnea> kgod: if it's in the repositories already, there's no reason to break a system with a third-party release.
[02:10] <MaT-dg> felix-da-catz: SP3 is installed for a long time but that wasn't a problem for hardy...
[02:10] <felix-da-catz> Freaking-Busy:  The easiest way is irCop
[02:10] <scunizi> natalie, which vmware?  server 1.x? or server 2.x beta.. or something else
[02:10] <kgod> Gnea: I don't know why you're telling me that.
[02:10] <natalie> 2.x beta
[02:11] <Freakin_Busy> felix-da-catz, thanks.. i was looking for a starting point.
[02:11] <MaT-dg> felix-da-catz, and all firewall-stuff is turned off..   Right.
[02:11] <felix-da-catz> mat-dg:  Humm.  No telling.  Windows has weird issues sometimes.  I would consider reloading your NIC drivers on the XP machien.
[02:11] <scunizi> natalie, are you running ibex 8.10? or Hardy 8.04?
[02:11] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[02:11] <jrib> secion8: oh.  I may have forgotten to tell you to do 'sudo apt-get install build-essential'.  Your build will probably fail without those
[02:11] <secion8> @jrib: I ran that command and got failure: tail of debian/changelog gave error exit status 1
[02:11] <kgod> felix-da-catz: arp/mac conflict?
[02:11] <e-frame> watda ?
[02:12] <kgod> e-frame: netsplits happen.
[02:12] <christo_m> I want to have my /home on a separate partition which ive done, but now on a fresh intrepid install, i have two users in home
[02:12] <natalie> I'm actually running 7.04 at this time
[02:12] <jrib> secion8: oh.  I may have forgotten to tell you to do 'sudo apt-get install build-essential'.  Your build will probably fail without those (since the netsplit killed my last message)
[02:12] <christo_m> the old chris and a new christo on the new system
[02:12] <fallore> jrib: okay i think i did it right. i'm going to edit it and then save it and pastebinit so you can check, okay?
[02:12] <ryanakca> Is it possible to setup a TrueCrypt partition with the alternate CD? (8.10)
[02:12] <e-frame> kgod: i see
[02:12] <felix-da-catz> kgod:  Nice suggestion.  :D  Always forget about arp.
[02:12] <jrib> felix-da-catz: sure
[02:12] <christo_m> how do i make ubuntu use my partition as the default for my user?
[02:12] <Vandalism_dstryr> [Amsg] Netsplit!
[02:12] <unity`net> hey
[02:12] <kgod> christo_m: what of it?  or do you want seperate partitions per user?
[02:12] <scunizi> natalie, well.. with that one if you've installed 1.x then you need to look for the "any-any" update for your kernel version then it will run.
[02:12] <jrib> thilmegil: did you ever answer my question?
[02:12] <pHro_> hi
[02:12] <christo_m> kgod: no, i only have on euser, myself, i have it on a partition already
[02:12] <secion8> @jrib: says  Build-Essentail is already the newest version
[02:12] <unity`net> how can i enable nfs on a remote oc
[02:13] <unity`net> *pc
[02:13] <LF|Irssi_> anyone else having probs with KompoZer crashing in 8.10?
[02:13] <jrib> secion8: hrmm.  What package is this?
[02:13] <christo_m> kgod: its jus tubuntu by default created a new one and now i use that empty one as the default besides the other one in /home
[02:13] <bioboti> can't get my nvidia card to output on VGA, any help/
[02:13] <ocioso> Ntatalie.. with wat
[02:13] <ocioso> natalie
[02:13] <christo_m> kgod: all my files are intact, they just arent default for my user's home
[02:13] <secion8> bluez-gnome
[02:13] <kgod> christo_m: if a new spurious user got created, you can just remove it and its home dir.  What's the username?  Might be a system account, but I'd doubt it.
[02:13] <felix-da-catz> mat-dg:  try arp -d * on the windows machine and see if that works.
[02:13] <Gnea> bioboti: make sure the monitor cable is securely attached all the way by tightening both screws.
[02:13] <christo_m> kgod: it is the system account. its the first account thats created during isntall
[02:13] <kgod> christo_m: You can copy/move them into your home dir and chown them as needed.
[02:14] <christo_m> kgod: good idea..
[02:14] <secion8> @jrib; bluez-gnome
[02:14] <bioboti> Gnea, yeah... tried that
[02:14] <christo_m> kgod: perhaps renaming the other one to this current user...
[02:14] <Gnea> bioboti: is it a dual-head card?
[02:14] <Joe_Knight> anyone know where to find the netgear drivers?
[02:14] <kgod> christo_m: also an option.  TMTOWTDI
[02:14] <fallore> How do I save a file after editing it with nano?
[02:14] <bioboti> Gnea, not it's single, i have a laptop
[02:14] <ncolgan> I'm trying to compile the pcsx playstation emulator right now, and I keep getting the error "CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set". What does this error mean and how do I fix it?
[02:14] <felix-da-catz> joe_knight:  try www.netgear.com
[02:14] <ncolgan> I'm using 64-bit ubuntu btw
[02:14] <Gnea> !laptop | bioboti
[02:15] <Gnea> bioboti: your make/model might be listed on the 2nd url with a howto for it
[02:15] <natalie> should I upgrade to a newer version?
[02:15] <natalie> of ubuntu I mean
[02:15] <kgod> fallore: C-x.  You'll be prompted to save.
[02:15] <Gnea> natalie: what version are you using now?
[02:15] <christo_m> kgod: not famliar with that acronym
[02:15] <fallore> kgod: thank you
[02:16] <fallore> christo_m: i'm guessing ctrl + x because that's how you exit
[02:16] <christo_m> what?
[02:16] <christo_m> arite thanks everyone , peace...
[02:16] <kgod> fallore: C-o to write out to a  file.  There's a prompt menu at the bottom of the screen.  Or learn vim.  :w | :wq | ZZ
[02:16] <natalie> 7.04.  I am just trying to get my comp working right, but there seems to be something causing it to freeze regularly
[02:16] <jrib> secion8: builds ok here.  Do you want to start over and pastebin the commands you use as you go?
[02:16] <Joe_Knight> netgear.com tries to send you the full install.exe
[02:16] <ryanakca> Is it possible to setup a TrueCrypt partition with the alternate CD (8.10)? Or should I create a partition to be used as /home, and then setup truecrypt afterwards?
[02:16] <fallore> kgod: thanks, i wasn't sure what write out meant. time to reboot
[02:16] <kgod> Where's the gnomeish swap ctrl/capslock thing again?
[02:17] <secion8> @jrib: my mistake, I was not in the directory for the package
[02:17] <Gnea> natalie: has it always been this way or did it start happening lately?
[02:17] <felix-da-catz> joe_knight:  Is it a SFX archive?  If so it can be extracted.
[02:17] <secion8> @jrib: seems to be building now
[02:17] <MaT-dg> felix-da-catz: allright! arp -d * fixed it somehow
[02:17] <jrib> kgod: system -> preferences -> keyboard
[02:17] <thilmegil> anyone feel like helping me with mount point issues?
[02:17] <bioboti> Gnea, couldn't find anythign. I have a 8600gt, nvidia-settings is installed but whenever I try to "save to x configuration" it segfaults
[02:17] <scunizi> natalie, if your /home is on a different partition, upgrading can be pretty painless.. just install the new version tagging the /home partition as /home (but don't format it) and install
[02:17] <felix-da-catz> Mat-dg:  Thank kgod.  He was the one with the right idea.
[02:17] <kgod> jrib: tx...
[02:18] <alesan> hey how do I move the channel list of gnome-xchat to the bottom?
[02:18] <Gnea> bioboti: are you running nvidia-settings as sudo?
[02:18] <bioboti> Gnea, yeah
[02:18] <natalie> I have always had this problem whenever I have installed any version newer than 4.10.  It seems to be whenever I am using the net.  Unfortunately, my /home is on the same partition at this time
[02:18] <compengi> alesan, did you try moving it with the curser?
[02:18] <alesan> compengi: yes, it does not eork :(
[02:19] <alesan> work
[02:19] <scunizi> natalie, you can move it.. :)
[02:19] <kgod> jrib: Feh.  That wasn't quite it...
[02:19] <alesan> and, how can I disable the annoying "3d" desktop effects on 8.10?
[02:19] <natalie> well... Yeah... I know that.... I am more worried that upgrading won't solve the problem that I have at this time.
[02:19] <scunizi> natalie, could also be that you need to black list ipv6 protocol
[02:19] <felix-da-catz> mat-dg:  arp is a local route cache.  It got the old ubuntu and the new ubuntu machine mixed up some how.
[02:19] <alesan> 3d, fading, transparencies, I'd like to have all disabled
[02:19] <natalie> how do I do that?
[02:20] <scunizi> !ipb6 | natalie
[02:20] <compengi> alesan, anything in preferences or tabs or anything?
[02:20] <MaT-dg> felix-da-catz: you are not gonna believe this, I can ping from ubuntu to my XP-machine, but not anymore from the second XP-machine I booted to the first xD
[02:20] <scunizi> !ipv6 | natalie
[02:20] <Gnea> natalie: can you pastebin the output of the dmesg command please?
[02:20] <secion8> @alesan: System > Preferences  > Appearance
[02:20] <alesan> compengi: I tried to do that but with no luck, then I decided to ask here.
[02:20] <jrib> kgod: layouts -> other options -> ctrl, no?
[02:20] <felix-da-catz> mat-dg:  Try try the same thing on the second machine.
[02:20] <compengi> alesan, go to appearances>effects then disable it from there
[02:20] <l3d> I changed my screen res to something smaller the icons on the top bar are way to large is there a way to make them smaller?
[02:20] <Fezzler1> OpenOffice Presentation keep locking up my PC from the moment I click on it.  It worked after install
[02:20] <secion8> @alesan: Visual Effects tab
[02:20] <kgod> MaT-dg: Are they on the same LAN?  Is the netmask the same?  Does the NT box see other stuff?  Are you firewalling ICMP9 on either box??
[02:21] <kgod> bbl
[02:21] <secion8> @jrib; ok, Done.
[02:21] <jrib> secion8: now install the deb you created
[02:21] <natalie> I feel silly, but how do I use the pastebin
[02:21] <andresmujica1> i'm having too much trouble with sun-java-6-plugin in intrepid i want to change it to openjdk or icedtea... which is the java plugin recommend for intrepid?
[02:21] <Gnea> !pastebin
[02:21] <felix-da-catz> mat-dg:  You can arp -a and see all of the entries.  And just delete the one entry that relates to the machine in question (on both the linux and windows machines)
[02:22] <Gnea> natalie: alternatively, you could possibly install the pastebinit package and use that
[02:22] <Fezzler1> Error I get is this...status: { DRDY ERR }   then  error: { UNC }  then exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 then BMDMA status 0x65
[02:22] <MaT-dg> kgod: yes all have 192.168.1.xx adresses, have the same mask and firewalls are turned off
[02:22] <Gnea> Fezzler1: bad drive or cable?
[02:22] <texko168> how to set aim messaging/
[02:22] <Fezzler1> Gnea> No
[02:22] <CardiacKid> I'm trying to forcer a screen resolution
[02:22] <Fezzler1> Gnea> Everything else works
[02:22] <CardiacKid> help?
[02:22] <compengi> texko168, under what client?
[02:22] <cishpix> texko168: u can use pidgin to set aim
[02:23] <dewente> why, apache is not working!!!
[02:23] <secion8> @jrib; thanks bro.. That was not half as bad as i thought it would be.. now for the test to see if my GPS pairs..:)
[02:23] <MaT-dg> felix-da-catz: well I'm happy that I can ping my ubuntu and XP machines, the other XP isn't important actually
[02:23] <thilmegil> i need to fingure out why i cant move or create files on certain partitions and can on others. I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04 and have reinstalled Ubuntu 6 times in the last week trying to figure this out.
[02:23] <fallore> jrib: finally got it working! thank you so much! i can use ubuntu normally again! :D
[02:23] <cishpix> dewente: do u install apache2
[02:23] <dewente> hello
[02:23] <Gnea> Fezzler1: where does that message come from? dmesg?
[02:23] <texko168> thanks cish
[02:23] <compengi> dewente, ask in #apache, we are ubuntu :D
[02:23] <jrib> fallore: no problem
[02:23] <cishpix> texko168: welcome
[02:23] <compengi> !notworking
[02:23] <felix-da-catz> mat-dg:  Eitherway, whatever works.  :D
[02:24] <natalie> it is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/67071/
[02:24] <dewente> cishpix, i did and  apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using <IP_ADDRESS> for ServerName
[02:24] <ryankrizan> is there a way to change the GNOME menu bar text to white instead of black?
[02:24] <secion8> @Jrib: Wholly crap it worked right the first time.. This is awesome.. Thanks bro..
[02:24] <CardiacKid> I tried to edit the etc/x11/xorg.conf with no luck.
[02:24] <diamonte> so how does ubuntu handle packages?
[02:24] <Fezzler1> Gnea: No, I see it on Ctrl ALt F2
[02:24] <Kira[work]> Where do I find the complete reference on the /etc/network/interfaces file?
[02:24] <diamonte> im using gentoo
[02:24] <jrib> secion8: APT may bug you about upgrading the package.  One way around it is to increase the version (requires you to rebuild; I didn't want to complicate things).  The other way is to pin it, see !pinning (but then you won't get updates from ubuntu for the package that may fix the issue)
[02:24] <Pici> diamonte: dpkg along with apt
[02:24] <Fezzler1> Gnea> X or GNOME locks totally
[02:24] <Kira[work]> I want to set up my eth0 to use DHCP with a static IP alias.
[02:24] <JohnParker> after trying to dual boot xp and ubuntu, my computer doesnt recognize the ubuntu already installed in my partition, im using 8.04
[02:25] <JohnParker> Is there any way I can get my computer to boot with ubuntu again?
[02:25] <cishpix> dewente: u must add "ServerName localhost" with the command
[02:25] <danbhfive> how do I upgrade with the alternate cd iso?  do I just mount it?
[02:25] <natalie> I have to go for a few minutes... I will be back soon.
[02:26] <CardiacKid> anyone familiar w/ editing the xorg.conf?
[02:26] <compengi> JohnParker, reconfigure your grub
[02:26] <cishpix> sudo vim /etc/apache2/conf.d/fqdn
[02:26] <compengi> !grub > JohnParker
[02:26] <Fezzler1> Gnea> Any idea?
[02:26] <cishpix> dewente: sudo vim /etc/apache2/conf.d/fqdn
[02:26] <Gnea> Fezzler1: are you able to login on the ctrl-alt-f2?
[02:26] <Gnea> natalie: is this a laptop?
[02:26] <break_free> i can't output more than 1360x768 on my 1900x1200 panel, can someone help?
[02:26] <MaT-dg> felix-da-catz, do u know how to ping with the name of a machine?
[02:26] <secion8> @jrib; thanks for the heads up.. I will go back to the original source code once they fix the problem.. kind of just a bandaid for the time being..
[02:26] <danbhfive> nvm
[02:26] <JohnParker> How? I have the grub on a text file on a usb, do i just copy paste into terminal?
[02:26] <natalie> no... it is a desktop
[02:26] <lianimator> Is cheese supposed to record audio as well?
[02:26] <fallore> !anyone cardiackid
[02:26] <Fezzler1> Gnea> No
[02:26] <fallore> !anyone | cardiackid
[02:27] <kingsofleon> hi
[02:27] <felix-da-catz> mat-dg:  That is where the /etc/hosts file comes into play.  Unless you have a DNS server.
[02:27] <Gnea> Fezzler1: what about the others?  F1-F6?
[02:27] <cishpix> lianimator: yes, I can record video with audio
[02:27] <kingsofleon> are there any bots in town?
[02:27] <compengi> JohnParker, ubottu has pm
[02:27] <Fezzler1> Gnea> No
[02:27] <v4vijayakumar> from 8.04 LTS, how to upgrade to new ubuntu..?
[02:27] <compengi> JohnParker, pm'd you with valuable info
[02:27] <MaT-dg> felix-da-catz: my router acts as DNS server right?
[02:27] <kingsofleon> anybody know of any good personal finance managers for linux?
[02:27] <compengi> !upgrade | v4vijayakumar
[02:27] <felix-da-catz> mat-dg:  cat '<IP_ADDRESS> (tab) hostname' >> /etc/hosts
[02:27] <cishpix> v4vijayakumar: u can run from system>administration>update manager
[02:28] <outbri> v4vijayakumar: update-manger -d
[02:28] <jrib> secion8: sure, if you decide to change the version, look at 'dch -i', some people just append their name like 2.0 becomes 2.0+jrib0
[02:28] <v4vijayakumar> thanks :)
[02:28] <outbri> kingsofleon: gnucash, not that great, but not that bad
[02:28] <felix-da-catz> mat-dg:  No, your external ISP's DNS servers are it seemed like before.  What does cat /etc/resolv.conf say?
[02:28] <cishpix> v4vijayakumar: welcome
[02:28] <CardiacKid> I need to force a screen resolution over 800 x 600 as that is the only one displaying at the time. I have found that this can be done through the xorg.conf file. is this so or is there a better way?
[02:28] <kingsofleon> outbri thanks
[02:28] <kingsofleon> do you use it?
[02:28] <break_free> i need some help getting VGA to output full 1920x1200. It's stuck on 1360x768
[02:28] <Gnea> natalie: well, I've had some systems to some weird things before too, and whenever I told the IRQ table to re-wire itself, the problem usually goes away. you can modify this behavior by adding  pci=routeirq  to your bootup sequence, either at the grub commandline or in the /boot/grub/menu.lst file, usually after the "quiet splash" bit
[02:28] <felix-da-catz> mat-dg: Also, you might be able to set it on your router, but I have only seen one router that allows that to happen.
[02:28] <outbri> kingsofleon: yep
[02:28] <go_beep_yourself> !resolution
[02:28] <Gnea> er, do some weird things
[02:28] <kingsofleon> is it simular to microsoft money?
[02:29] <Ward1983> how can i set my default sound device from CLI ?
[02:29] <kingsofleon> im changing my mother over to ubuntu
[02:29] <kingsofleon> need something thats simular
[02:29] <outbri> kingsofleon: never used microsoft money. I've only used quick books, and it is a bit similar.
[02:29] <kingsofleon> ah right, ok thanks
[02:29] <kingsofleon> ill give it a try
[02:29] <outbri> yep
[02:29] <MaT-dg> felix-da-catz: yeah those DNS adresses are from my ISP
[02:30] <Gnea> Fezzler1: it sounds like openoffice happens to be sitting on some bad sectors of the hard drive. have you tried rebooting and removing openoffice and then reinstalling?
[02:30] <Pici> Ward1983: check out the arguments to asoundconf: asoundconf -h
[02:30] <felix-da-catz> mat-dg:  Exactly.  So just use your /etc/hosts file.  It is easiest.  Works in windows as well.  C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts
[02:30] <Fezzler1> Gnea> Is there a utility to confirm that?
[02:30] <ivonei> oi
[02:30] <ivonei> boa noite
[02:31] <ivonei> como faço
[02:31] <Ward1983> Pici, thanx
[02:31] <lucax> did any one make work global menu in intrepid?
[02:31] <break_free> can't output more than 1360x768 over VGA. I need to force it to 1920x1200, how do I do that?
[02:31] <ivonei> pra entra no bate papo em portugues
[02:31] <Pici> !br | ivonei
[02:31] <Gnea> Fezzler1: find /   sometimes works, but then it's not trying to access areas of the hard drive that a regular program would
[02:31] <Ward1983> Pici, do you know if that would work on mythbuntu by any chance? (nobody awake in there :( )
[02:31] <Pici> Ward1983: It should.
[02:31] <JohnParker> I still cant get it, I get error 27 unrecognized command
[02:31] <thilmegil> noob to Ubuntu, need help changing permissions on mount partitions. anyone feel like giving advice?
[02:32] <Ward1983> Pici, ok thanx :) and i can also make it permanent that way?
[02:32] <tuxedocurly> I have a question anyone. Are there any available drivers for an epson stylus CX8400 for the ubuntu operating system?HELP.
[02:32] <Pici> Ward1983: That will permanently do it.  Remember to use sudo for the actual command
[02:32] <Ward1983> nice thanx
[02:32] <Yoshi> grrrr how do i get this desktop folder icon to stop opening every fraking file in vlcx
[02:32] <Gnea> tuxedocurly: you don't need to add "HELP." or "please help!" to the end of your question...
[02:32] <tripitakit> tuxedocurly, already tried google?
[02:32] <lucax> global menu on intrepid?
[02:32] <ivonei> oi
[02:33] <Wintervenom> Does Intrepid has paravirtualization turned on by default?
[02:33] <tuxedocurly> yes i have tried google, mate. (sry bout the help)
[02:33] <Yoshi> also is there on fucion-icon for intrepid or something?
[02:33] <Pici> Yoshi: There is.
[02:33] <break_free> tuxedocurly, i believe you can, according to the ubuntu forums
[02:33] <JohnGalt08> anyone here know enough about wine to understand error messages?
[02:33] <Yoshi> apt-get didnt find one
[02:33] <tripitakit> tuxedocurly, if google doesnt know ..  :(
[02:33] <Ward1983> does anyone have a audigy 2 ?
[02:33] <Hilikus> anyone has installed 8.1 on an msi wind? i want to know how automatic it was, i know that several things didnt work out of the box with teh previous one
[02:33] <break_free> tuxedocurly, have way down the page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5209109

[02:34] <punzada> does anyone know if it's possible once you make a bootable usb stick from ibex if you can boot it as a vm with either vmware, qemu or vbox? I havne't been able to get any of them to boot it.
[02:34] <PATX> hello i need some help installing unbuntu from the live cd version i have...
[02:34] <thilmegil> am i just being ignored now?
[02:34] <PATX> i need to know how to partition my disc
[02:34] <jrib> thilmegil: you never answered my question
[02:34] <tuxedocurly> Alright ill take a look at that, thanks!
[02:34] <thilmegil> what question?
[02:34] <jewlzzzz> I tried to upgrade the kernel and i had an error. now i get an error saying the kernel has to be reinstalled but there isnt an archive for it
[02:34] <thilmegil> i didn't see one
[02:34] <jrib> !who | thilmegil
[02:35] <break_free> PATX, the live disc has a graphical partitioner as one of hte install steps
[02:35] <jrib> thilmegil: what is your issue?
[02:35] <Gnea> tuxedocurly: have you tried configuring throu http://localhost:631/ ?
[02:35] <PATX> break_free: yeah i know but it says there is no room....
[02:35] <n8tuser> punzada-> perhaps none of them can boot from usb drive, just like older days, not many can boot from a usb device
[02:35] <dominik393> hello did I find the ubuntu support chat?
[02:35] <break_free> i need some help getting VGA to output full 1920x1200. It's stuck on 1360x768
[02:35] <Pici> dominik393: You did indeed.
[02:35] <Yoshi> E: fusion-icon: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 <--- and synaptic gives this error
[02:36] <jewlzzzz> anyone?
[02:36] <jzitt> I'm trying to upgrade to intrepid but don't have enough space (even after removing everything that I could). Is there a way to set up a flash drive for apt to use in upgrading?
[02:36] <n8tuser> jzitt-> why even the need to upgrade then?
[02:36] <dominik393> well thank you Pici, I have been slaving over the manual that came with ubuntu for hours now, I am frustrated as I hoped ubuntu was my way out of vista, but it doesn't seem to recognize the wireless network, and it seems you need internet to find the other drivers
[02:36] <thilmegil> !tab
[02:37] <Ward1983> Pici, any idea how soundcards are called lol? and how to list them
[02:37] <n8tuser> dominik393-> which wifi card do you have?
[02:37] <jzitt> n8tuser: intrepid supposedly handles my Asus Eee better.
[02:37] <Pici> Ward1983: asoundconf list
[02:37] <dominik393> first the manual refers to a network manager, I belive it was system -> administrator -> network, this did not exit in my ubuntu
[02:37] <Grenyaris> I have a RAID device with 5 disks (4 active - 1 spare) and I need to find the UUID of the individual disks...and suggestions? the "normal methods" net me the UUID of the RAID array...
[02:37] <dominik393> I do not exactly know what wifi card I have
[02:37] <Gnea> dominik393: it's always A Good Thing(TM) to keep some cat5 around :)
[02:37] <Ward1983> Pici, lol thanx i just got that command in a error :)
[02:37] <thilmegil> jrib: i have multiple partitions mounted, i am unable to move or create files on some of them.
[02:38] <Ward1983> Pici, lol it doesnt even list my onboard sound :s
[02:38] <jrib> thilmegil: what filesystem?
[02:38] <n8tuser> jzitt-> then either purge the old one or overwrite it so you have ample space to put the new 8.10 in
[02:38] <Ward1983> Pici, but thats a good thing because i want to use the audogy 2 thats in it, that one shows up :)
[02:38] <break_free> can anyone help me get my VGA output to 1920x1200? I can't get it past 1360x768
[02:38] <fallore> I used firefox to install Adobe Flash Player (this is 8.10). It got about 4/5ths of the way through and seems to have frozen. What should I do?
[02:38] <MaT-dg> felix-da-catz: arrrr it works now
[02:38] <mabus> how does ubuntu automatically mount usb drives in gnome? how can I accomplish this in fluxbox?
[02:38] <felix-da-catz> Mat-dg:  Great!  Feels good doesn't it!
[02:38] <jzitt> n8tuser: "purge the old one"?
[02:38] <thilmegil> jrib: ext 2 and 3 and ntfs. on the ntfs filesystem i know i cant create as it is read only
[02:38] <n8tuser> dominik393-> you have a laptop? or desktop ?
[02:39] <jrib> thilmegil: you can write to ntfs
[02:39] <jrib> !permissions > thilmegil
[02:39] <jrib> !ntfs > thilmegil
[02:39] <n8tuser> jzitt-> you claim you dont have spaces, so you purge the old os and install a new one?
[02:39] <lucax> checking for GLIB... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.12.0 gobject-2.0 >= 2.12.0) were not met: what does it mean?
[02:39] <dominik393> Pici: I use a "Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN" does that help?
[02:39] <jrib> thilmegil: for the ext2 and ext3 ones, you need to set proper permissions using chown and chmod.  For ntfs, you need to set proper mount options or use ntfs-config.  See ubottu's links.  Feel free to poke me if you are stuck
[02:40] <mgolisch> lucax: you dont have the glib development package installed
[02:40] <mgolisch> lucax: thats what it means
[02:40] <Miesco> How do I get the Debian Menu?
[02:40] <tripitakit> fallore, kill firefox and sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[02:40] <Pici> dominik393: Ask the channel for help, I'm not too good with wifi issues :)
[02:40] <lucax> mgolisch, whats the package name??
[02:40] <Wintervenom1> Does Intrepid has paravirtualization turned on by default?
[02:40] <thilmegil> jrib:i already used sudo chown and chmod commands trying to fix this. didn't work
[02:40] <fallore> tripitakit: how do i kill the installation window?
[02:40] <MaT-dg> felix-da-catz: wait, still not 100% I get the login screen but when I try to login with my user and pass it doesn't do anything
[02:40] <Wintervenom1> I want to use it, bu virt-manager won't let me select it.
[02:40] <mgolisch> lucax: if the software you build from source is in the repo, you can try apt-get build-dep to install the developemnt packages needed to compile that package, it might be sufficient for newer versions of that software too
[02:40] <jzitt> n8tuser: There must be something I'm not understanding. How do I do an install over the network without an OS already there?
[02:41] <tripitakit> open a terminal
[02:41] <ThomasG33K> Anyone have vmware tools working on Intrepid??
[02:41] <jrib> thilmegil: paste the output of 'ls -ld /path/to/mount/point'
[02:41] <tripitakit> fallore, open a terminal
[02:41] <lucax> mgolisch, thanks amn
[02:41] <Grenyaris> "blkid" and "vol_id" and "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid" give me the UUID of the RAID Array, or the ID of the NON RAID disks on my system...I need the UUID of the individual partitions that make up the RAID array...any ideas?
[02:41] <n8tuser> jzitt-> your eee box dont have an existing os ?
[02:41] <fallore> done, tripitakit
[02:41] <dominik393> ok thanks pici
[02:41] <fallore> jzitt: do you have 700mb free?
[02:41] <tripitakit> fallore, xkill
[02:41] <jzitt> n8tuser: I'm running hardy on it now.
[02:41] <tripitakit> fallore, than click on firefox
[02:41] <tripitakit> :P
[02:41] <thilmegil> jrib: the last person on here who helped me two days ago had me do that and it didn't work for all of it and suggested putting /media on its own partition since thats where all my drives are mounted.
[02:41] <dominik393> The Problem: Wireless card recognized and terminal says it is disabled, how do I enable it
[02:41] <lianimator> May I take a poll please? Say M if male, F if female.
[02:41] <fallore> tripitakit: that's awesome! i didn't know about that command, that's going to come in very handy
[02:41] <MaT-dg> felix-da-catz: also the linux-machine isn't showing up in the windows networklocations (have to acces it with \\192.168.xx.xx in explorer)
[02:42] <n8tuser> jzitt-> did you have a separate /home directory ?
[02:42] <dominik393> Second Problem: hardware buttons to enable\disable wireless do nto light up
[02:42] <wcchandler> What's the technical name for the loading screen?  The part that says Ubuntu and the little bar that goes across.
[02:42] <ThomasG33K> How do you get vmhgfs to compile in vmware tools??
[02:42] <jrib> thilmegil: that's fine, but I can't help you if you don't answer my questions
[02:42] <jzitt> n8tuser: Do you mean on a separate partition? No.
[02:42] <n8tuser> dominik393-> try sudo ifdown wlan0   assuming it is wlan0
[02:42] <tripitakit> fallore, then install with sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[02:42] <dominik393> i did that
[02:43] <dominik393> and then I did the ifup
[02:43] <fallore> tripitakit: it gives me an error message about another process using the administration directory
[02:43] <n8tuser> dominik393-> using sudo right?
[02:43] <Miesco> HEY, how do I get the Debian menu in the Main Menu????????????????????????????????
[02:43] <felix-da-catz> mat-dg:  That is a browsable= or something similar in the smb.conf file.  Mine does't either, but I just map with the IP address.
[02:43] <tripitakit> fallore, synaptic running?
[02:43] <dominik393> n8tuser: yes just liek the help file sugested
[02:43] <qbmaniac> how do i see what hardware or what sound card i have?
[02:43] <fallore> tripitakit: not that i can see
[02:43] <secion8> Any know good gps programs for linux that work with a bluetooth GPS receiver
[02:43] <n8tuser> jzitt-> no spaces at all?
[02:43] <thilmegil> jrib: sorry i was typing that when you sent me the last message. im not a whiz at ubuntu yet so im not that fast sorry. but to answer your question there was an error
[02:43] <break_free> can anyone help me get my VGA output to 1920x1200? I can't get it past 1360x768
[02:43] <jzitt> n8tuser: "no spaces at all?"?
[02:43] <jrib> thilmegil: what error?
[02:44] <dominik393> n8tuser: but now I am not under Ubuntu, i booted back to windos
[02:44] <thilmegil> jrib: ls: cannot access /path/to/mount/point: No such file or directory
[02:44] <n8tuser> dominik393-> what was the results when you ifup ?
[02:44] <fallore> break_free: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[02:44] <tripitakit> fallore, ps ax and pastebin pls
[02:44] <dominik393> n8tuser: it said notheing
[02:44] <jrib> thilmegil: by "/path/to/mount/point" I mean the actual path to your mount point :)
[02:44] <MaT-dg> felix-da-catz: home directory's are browseable
[02:44] <break_free> fallore, ibex
[02:44] <xorlim> what network device is pan0?
[02:44] <thilmegil> jrib: to all ten of my partitions?
[02:44] <lianimator> Miesco: system->preferences->main menu
[02:44] <jrib> thilmegil: pick one
[02:44] <jrib> thilmegil: one of the ext ones
[02:44] <thilmegil> jrib: ok
[02:45] <toredgk> can anyone tell me what brand of wireless router is most compatible with ubuntu?
[02:45] <lianimator> qbmaniac: try lspci and look for sound
[02:45] <qbmaniac> thanks lianimator
[02:45] <n8tuser> dominik393-> its difficult to assist you when you are not on ubuntu..find a way so we can easily assist you, get another pc
[02:45] <break_free> toredgk, i've had good luck with my linksys wrt54g
[02:45] <n8tuser> jzitt-> space as in hard disk space
[02:45] <Miesco> lianimator: There is nothing in it though, there is a Debian menu, but its empty
[02:45] <MaT-dg> felix-da-catz: and I can't login with my username and root password.. is there some default or soething?
[02:45] <lianimator> Miesco: what do you expect to show under debian?
[02:45] <toredgk> break_free: can you configure it from ubuntu?
[02:46] <jzitt> n8tuser: I've freed up 400M, but it apparently needs more than 700M
[02:46] <thilmegil> jrib: drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-11-02 13:23 /media/moviediscs
[02:46] <fallore> jzitt: how big is your harddrive?
[02:46] <ziorcas> Hey, i am having trouble setting up dual screen on 8.10, can any one give me a hand?
[02:46] <wcchandler> Anybody familiar with bootsplashes?
[02:46] <break_free> toredgk, no. I have nvidia-settings installed
[02:46] <jrib> thilmegil: I assume you want it to be writable by users other than root?
[02:46] <break_free> toredgk, sorry, wrong person
[02:46] <jzitt> fallore: 8 GB
[02:46] <Miesco> lianimator: Like everything
[02:46] <secion8> Anyone know how to setup a blackberry curve 8330 as a bluetooth modem
[02:47] <toredgk> break_free: can you configure it from ubuntu?
[02:47] <Miesco> lianimator: More categories, I had it before in Hardy
[02:47] <thilmegil> i want all of my drives to be writable by users other than root except for my / partition
[02:47] <toredgk> break_free: thats ok
[02:47] <n8tuser> jzitt-> that includes the /home.. at 8gb you have ample space for two os
[02:47] <lianimator> Miesco: maybe those packages are not installed in Intrepid.
[02:47] <felix-da-catz> mat-dg:  make sure you just use root/password.
[02:47] <fallore> jzitt: it seems to me (and this may be presumptuous) that you could just move files onto the USB drive or download the iso onto the usb and burn it
[02:47] <break_free> toredgk, yes. It has a html interface, so you just type in <IP_ADDRESS> in firefox and it'll go straight to the router
[02:47] <felix-da-catz> mat-dg:  Make sure the local master=yes is set as well in the smb.conf file
[02:47] <fallore> brb tripitakit
[02:47] <ti-boute> 40ans&+
[02:47] <Miesco> lianimator: I installed menu and menu-dxg or whatever
[02:47] <dominik393> n8tuser: I am sorry however this is the only pc availabe, and a hard connection (eth) is also not availabe, if you can give me a direction as to what I should attempt to accomplish while I am in ubuntu, that would help.  However I have no previous experience with Linux so I do not know where to look
[02:48] <toredgk> break_free can you install it from ubuntu?
[02:48] <jzitt> n8tuser: Well,  what can I safely move over or remove?
[02:48] <felix-da-catz> mat-dg:  make sure WINS is setup as well.  You can let samba be the WINS server
[02:48] <n8tuser> jzitt-> remove or purge apps that you dont need to have right now!
[02:48] <fallore_> tripitakit: i'm back, have to use this sn for a couple of minutes
[02:49] <n8tuser> jzitt-> clear some spaces in /tmp  and cache
[02:49] <lianimator> Miesco: If you have the "debian" menu items somewhere else, u can drag and drop them in.
[02:49] <jzitt> Actually, if I were to download the iso to the flashdrive, could I install from the iso image?
[02:49] <billybigrigger> evening all
[02:49] <fallore_> tripitakit: here is the pastebin of ps ax or whatever command you asked me to paste: http://pastebin.com/m6b53da42
[02:49] <toredgk> could anyone tell me what brand of wireless router is most compatible with ubuntu?
[02:49] <Miesco> lianimator: It should all just appear
[02:49] <jzitt> n8tuser: I've downloaded or purged everything that I don't need.
[02:49] <tripitakit> fallore, ty,
[02:49] <cwillu> toredgk, wireless routers, doesn't really matter;  it's the card that matters re: linux
[02:50] <fallore_> jzitt: can't you relocate some files to the USB you are proposing you use for apt?
[02:50] <lianimator> Miesco: things can change from version to version.
[02:50] <fallore_> tripitakit: please until i can change back to fallore can you add the _ to the end of my name? sry about the hassle
[02:50] <natalie> Gnea: Where do I add that command  pci=routeirq
[02:50] <cwillu> toredgk, you can _install_ linux on a wrt54gl, but I don't think that's what you had in mind :p
[02:50] <Miesco> lianimator: But I had a hard time doing it in hardy also
[02:50] <faallore> tripitakit: here, this should be easier
[02:50] <naut> The docs for ftpasswd (from proftp) recommend using /bin/false for a shell that throws an error and prevents users logging in on Ubuntu. What shell do other people use?
[02:50] <jrib> thilmegil: still with me?
[02:51] <thilmegil> jrib: yes i answered you
[02:51] <tripitakit> faallore, ok...
[02:51] <jzitt> fallore: Well, all my personal data is already on another flash drive. I have a lot of stuff in /lib and /usr and the like that I'm loth to move around without knowing exatly what the result would be.
[02:51] <jrib> thilmegil: /join #ubuntu-classroom  please
[02:51] <masmota> how do you go about configuring the screen savers? (running intrepid)
[02:51] <Pelo> I just clean installed trying to fix another problem , but now nvidia-settings isn'T working for me anymore,  anyone else ?
[02:51] <n8tuser> dominik393-> try to boot from a liveCd and test your wifi
[02:52] <break_free> masmota, system > preferences > screensaver
[02:52] <toredgk> could anyone tell me how to get a linksys wireless usb adapter working with ubuntu?
[02:52] <lianimator> Miesco: so you have no way of accessing those programs under debian now?
[02:52] <masmota> break_free:  im refering to a way to configure options for each of the screen savers?
[02:52] <tripitakit> faallore sudo kill -9 6431
[02:52] <texko168> hello
[02:52] <Miesco> lianimator: Its just the menu that debian distro uses, it has way more categories and more software in the menus
[02:52] <tripitakit> faallore, the i guess i can try apt-get
[02:53] <Pelo> hardwired are you still around ?
[02:53] <tripitakit> *you
[02:53] <dominik393> n8tuser:  test my wifi how, the ubuntu cd allowed me to boot it live, will it have a wifi test feature, or am I just seeing if it works there?
[02:53] <wcchandler> What's the name of the package that suggests what to install when it's not found?
[02:53] <break_free> masmota, not sure
[02:54] <masmota> :/
[02:54] <Joaquinm> hi guys, someone knows where ubuntu mounts the shared directories ??
[02:54] <toredgk> could anyone tell me how to get a linksys wireless usb adapter working with ubuntu?
[02:54] <n8tuser> dominik393-> seeing if it works while on liveCD, if it does, then copy the settings of /etc/network/interfaces  /etc/resolv.conf and take note of route -n
[02:54] <jzitt> It looks like installing from an iso on a flashdrive might be the best way to go if possible. Is it possible?
[02:54] <billybigrigger> im having these random crashes since my fresh 8.10 install...before it was every couple of hours, then someone here told me to disable pulseaudio in my system/preferences/sound, nothing had pulseaudio selected, all where AUTO or ALSA, so i changed them all to ALSA, and my system ran for 10 hours before a random lockup, when they happen I have no keyboard function, cant restart gnome, nothing except my CAPS lock flashes...now
[02:54] <billybigrigger> I looked back to my /var/log/messages just before the crash and its nothing but --  MARK -- and in my dmesg I can't see anything thats causing the crash, can someone lend a hand and tell me where I should be looking, I really want to track this down and find out whats causing these random crashes
[02:54] <Joaquinm> not the ones with mount -t ntfs the ones that you open browsing places, network, etc
[02:54] <faallore> tripitakit: working great :D thanks a bunch
[02:54] <break_free> Xorg.0.log says that my LCD is being given a res of 1360x768, how do I change that??
[02:54] <lianimator> Miesco: Ubuntu doesn't really have a "debian" category. If you open the "Add/Remove..." menu, you'll see the categories the Ubuntu has.
[02:54] <tuxedocurly> Hey i got my printer to work! Thanks! Now... I installed the scan thing, but now.. how do i actually SCAN something?
[02:54] <Joaquinm> hi guys, someone knows where ubuntu mounts the shared directories ??
[02:54] <felix-da-catz> Joaquinm:  You do the mounting.  Look in /mnt or /media
[02:54] <Joaquinm> not the ones with mount -t ntfs the ones that you open browsing places, network, etc
[02:54] <dominik393> n8tuser: thank you
[02:55] <Joaquinm>  =felix-da-catz= not those, it auto mount the shared directories in my desktop
[02:55] <felix-da-catz> Joaquinm:  I don't know if it mounts those or not.
[02:55] <karsten> wcchandler: it's hooked in somewhere under /etc/bash_completion or /etc/bash_completion.d
[02:55] <natalie> can anybody tell me where I put  pci=routeirq in the /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:55] <Joaquinm>  =felix-da-catz= i think it doesnt :(
[02:55] <felix-da-catz> Joaquinm:  Almost like browsing the network really.  You should just mount the share yourself.  It is faster.
[02:55] <faallore> Sometimes when a window goes inactive the top title bar gets sort of blanked out (this is a screenshot: http://i36.tinypic.com/2ur3szb.png ). Does anyone know if this is normal or how I can prevent it?
[02:55] <Miesco> lianimator: Its in the Main Menu....
[02:55] <tuxedocurly> Hey i got my printer to work! Thanks! Now... I installed the scan thing, but now.. how do i actually SCAN something?
[02:56] <mn> anyone here know how to change NTFS permissions from linux?
[02:56] <toredgk> there are not enough helpers in here

[02:56] <JerryParid> im trying to download microsoft office using crossover.  I have the crossover applications installed and the cxoffice folder.  What exe file do i get from cxoffice?
[02:56] <tuxedocurly> Hey i got my printer to work! Thanks! Now... I installed the scan thing, but now.. how do i actually SCAN something?
[02:56] <JerryParid> tuxedocurly: just wondering, what printer did you have?
[02:57] <tuxedocurly> I had the Stylus CX8400
[02:57] <cwillu> JerryParid, do you have an office cd?
[02:57] <ziorcas> Hi, i am trying to setup dual monitors in 8.10.  I want to use the nvidia driver but i cant seem to see anyting about graphics cards in the hardware driver section
[02:57] <tripitakit> faallore, i had the same in compiz, i left it for xmonad anyway :)
[02:57] <mn> well, even changing their router to screw them up will leave logs won't it?
[02:57] <mn> oops
[02:57] <JerryParid> no
[02:57] <mn> anyone here know how to change NTFS permissions from linux?
[02:57] <karsten> mn: chmod, same as any other filesystem.  Needs to be writeable by use, and fs must be writeable
[02:57] <JerryParid> cwillu: no, i have the folder for the installation
[02:57] <lianimator> Miesco: no exactly sure what you're looking for.
[02:57] <mankash> I have installed ubuntu server and at the time of installing I select the optiion of not configuring netwrok at this time
[02:58] <tuxedocurly> which i changed drivers to make it look like the 7800 and installed the scan package as directed to HERE http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5209109 and now im just curious how to actually go about scanning something
[02:58] <mn> karsten: plz explain how
[02:58] <karsten> mn: May also depend on the ntfs driver used.  ntfs3g or ng, not sure.
[02:58] <billybigrigger> Joaquinm, compiz is set to normal, and i have nvidia gfx on this laptop, 8600 gm and using the 177 Recommended driver
[02:58] <cwillu> JerryParid, run the crossover 'install windows applications', and point it at the windows installer
[02:58] <secion8> gpsbabel
[02:58] <karsten> mn: man chmod
[02:58] <secion8> woops, wrong KB
[02:58] <tripitakit> mn man chown
[02:58] <mankash> I later configure the network but it is not able to resolv any address
[02:58] <tuxedocurly> =\
[02:58] <scales11> hi all, so how can i get a custom kernel onto my laptop without network connection
[02:58] <JerryParid> cwillu: im fine until it asks for the product location.  I can't figure out which file i have to select.
[02:59] <karsten> mankash: check routing and /etc/resolv.conf
[02:59] <cwillu> JerryParid, probably a .msi file
[02:59] <mn> tripitakit and karsten: I screwed up my NTFS permissions with cacls and now I cant access windows.  Will this change the Windows permissions?
[02:59] <tripitakit> scales11, LFS linux :P
[02:59] <karsten> scales11: floppy, usb key, cdrom, dvd, clay tablet
[02:59] <loloyz> pass ajgakgdc
[02:59] <mankash> nslookup doesn' able to resolv
[02:59] <tuxedocurly> How do i scan something into my PC using an Epson stylus CX8400?
[02:59] <Bogus8> how can I know what tty my serial port is?
[02:59] <eca> is there a easy way to upgrade to 8.10 without downloading 600+ megs. just install the bare essentials?
[02:59] <Kira[work]> hmm
[02:59] <Bogus8> I'm trying to run minicom and it's not really working
[02:59] <tripitakit> mn will what ?
[02:59] <scales11> karsten: ok well i can download the file put it on a usb stick, but then what ? :)
[03:00] <mn> tripitakit: chmod or chown
[03:00] <tripitakit> mn what exactly u have to do?
[03:00] <Kira[work]> do I actually need to specify the broadcast address in /etc/network/interfaces? Isn't it automatically derived from the IP and the netmask?
[03:00] <swif> If I'm using System > Preferences > Sessions
[03:00] <tuxedocurly> How do i scan something into my PC using an Epson stylus CX8400?
[03:00] <lianimator> eca: not really. you can request a free CD if you don't want to download. But you can't upgrade. Need a fresh install because it's a liveCD.
[03:00] <swif> in order to start a script on boot, which user is that script run as?
[03:01] <secion8> !gpsbabel
[03:01] <billybigrigger> Joaquinm, ???
[03:01] <mn> tripitakit: I ran cacls /P guest:N on windows and that replaced all of the permissions and now the only thing the ACL has in it is Guest has no pemissions and I need it to say system:F
[03:01] <mn> (btw i cant actually read the ACL)
[03:01] <swif> If I'm using `System > Preferences > Sessions` to start/run a script at boot time, which user does Ubuntu run the script as?
[03:01] <tuxedocurly> How do i scan something into my PC using an Epson stylus CX8400? (i apologize for being repetitive)
[03:01] <Joaquinm>  =billybigrigger= i have an issue with compiz runing and the lock screensaver, it freeze my laptop
[03:02] <DigitalFiz> swif, the user that logs in i presume
[03:02] <tripitakit> mn sorry cant understand ur prob
[03:02] <billybigrigger> Joaquinm, how did you find out it was compiz?
[03:02] <Joaquinm>  =billybigrigger= so the solution is not to use compiz at all or not to lock your screen, at least
[03:02] <jaypur> mx440 doesnt have any drivers, do you think it is gonna come one day for 8.10?
[03:02] <Venin> im running ubuntu from a usb key.. if i remove the usb key for a few seconds.. the OS stops working correctly.. is it possible to make it work correctly again after i insert the usb key again? i mean.. without rebooting ;p
[03:02] <Joaquinm>  =billybigrigger= its a bug, it happens to me in gentoo and ubuntu
[03:02] <tritium> jaypur: same answer as before
[03:02] <Joaquinm>  =billybigrigger= and i figured out, after some tests
[03:02] <tuxedocurly> How do i scan something into my PC using an Epson stylus CX8400?
[03:03] <MaT-dg> felix-da-catz: seems I had to edit the 'smbusers'-file to to add a user
[03:03] <prince_jammys> mn: try #windows
[03:03] <jaypur> tritium, hi, ive just tried to run the driver, and it cant...
[03:03] <mn> tripitakit: the access control list doesn't say anything but Guest has no rights.  Thus it doesn't specify rights for anything else so nothing else (my account) can access it
[03:03] <tripitakit> !scan
[03:03] <saxofoner> I need dual monitor help.  I have a laptop, and my external monitor is detected properly.  I don't like how twinview screws up the resolutions (is there a fix?) so I'm using separate displays.  It's not optimal but it's better.   However, if I click firefox, for example, I get a blank error window and it crashes gnome-panel.
[03:03] <CoRnJuLiOx> when doing terminal work, is there way to go up one directory? i.e i'm in /home/myself/Documents/videos and i want to go to /home/myself/Documents without having to type the whole path out again?
[03:03] <mn> i did
[03:03] <dmsuperman> Is this only tech support for Ubuntu? I need support for the website.
[03:03] <felix-da-catz> mat-dg:  Never thought about that for browsing.  but it makes sense.
[03:03] <tritium> dmsuperman: yes, the topic is ubuntu support
[03:03] <Spaz926> Hey, all
[03:03] <JerryParid> cwillu: i searched for a file in the folder thats .msi but could not find any.  Any other ideas? or could my file be corrupt or something?
[03:03] <Appl3|Pork> what's the command to remove a program I installed?
[03:04] <dmsuperman> tritium: Right, it doesn't say "technical support"
[03:04] <Appl3|Pork> I'm in putty right now
[03:04] <dmsuperman> tritium: So I'm asking if it's implied
[03:04] <tritium> Appl3|Pork: sudo apt-get remove <package name>
[03:04] <tino> CoRnJuLiOx, try:  cd ..
[03:04] <Appl3|Pork> thanks
[03:04] <tuxedocurly> ubottu: thanks, but.. is there any app. already IN ubuntu that has scanner settings/launcher?
[03:04] <CoRnJuLiOx> tino, thanks
[03:04] <Spaz926> How can I set up an internal website using the desktop version of Ubuntu 8.10?
[03:04] <lianimator> billybigrigger: you can try not using compiz for a few days..
[03:04] <Pici> tuxedocurly: ubottu is a bot

[03:06] <Spaz926> will be back
[03:07] <Gentoon> is there an eee ubuntu channel?
[03:07] <tripitakit> Spaz926, ubottu is a bot :)
[03:07] <CardiacKid> scunizi, onboard video. old p3 board.
[03:07] <MaT-dg> felix-da-catz: hope I won't get nightmares of window's arp tables xD bye :)
[03:07] <Spaz926> oh wow
[03:07] <Spaz926> lol
[03:07] <izzy200198> have a dualboot win xp and Ubuntu 8.04 PC. I upgraded to 8.10 via internet. After rebooting I noticed the cd/dvd drive is missing in ubuntu. Only showing hard drives. I rebooted and from the GRUB menu selected the previous kernal. cd/dvd shows and works just fine as before the upgrade. Rebooted again to new kernal and once again the cd/dvd player is missing. Anyone know how to resolve this?
[03:07] <scunizi> CardiacKid, does that mean it's not an nvidia?
[03:07] <felix-da-catz> lol cya!
[03:07] <djbass> siema
[03:08] <tripitakit> Spaz926, anyway u'd try installing apache on your ubuntu
[03:08] <cishpix> how can I enable php5 module in apache2? I've install it but I'm still can browse the php file from browser, the error is show the dialog box about download/open the php file, what should I do?
[03:08] <CardiacKid> SiS controller as far as I can tell
[03:08] <Tuxedo_08-09> Nevermind --Figured out the scanning problem-- im new to this, it really sucks
[03:08] <Tuxedo_08-09> <being new, i mean
[03:08] <Spaz926> tripitakit, okay, I'll try Apache and see what I can do.
[03:08] <Tuxedo_08-09> The OS is awesome
[03:09] <tripitakit> Spaz926, anyway there are other solutions
[03:09] <CardiacKid> scunizi, also, I am remoting into the machine. No monitor connected.
[03:09] <yosyp> if i removed gnome, i just do apt-get install update to get up to date with security  . . .should i upgrade to 8.10?
[03:09] <scunizi> CardiacKid, yea.. it's much more difficult getting dual monitors working when  it's not an nvidia.. I'm not sure what to do with the sis grapics.. xorg is the right spot though.
[03:09] <Dezine> Are there any WYSIWYG html editors out there?
[03:10] <Spaz926> tripitakit: explain please
[03:10] <tripitakit> Spaz926, what u want to do with it?
[03:10] <prince_jammys> !html | Dezine
[03:10] <rww> Nvu changed its name? Huh.
[03:10] <Dezine> I don't think any of those are visual, like Dreamweaver
[03:10] <tripitakit> Spaz926, have a local web server as development envinroment?
[03:10] <Tuxedo_08-09> Are there any drivers for the nvidia Gefore 7800???
[03:10] <yosyp> !goatse | ubottu
[03:11] <Spaz926> I would like to set up a simple internal site in my home business so we can keep synced without going all over the web
[03:11] <scunizi> Dezine, kompoZer is about the only thing out there that is available and wysiwyg
[03:11] <Dezine> Ok, thanks
[03:11] <tripitakit> Tuxedo_08-09, intrepid?
[03:11] <Spaz926> I do not have a server at the moment
[03:11] <Spaz926> I'm working on getting one right now
[03:11] <Tuxedo_08-09> tripitakit: im sorry.. what?
[03:11] <Dezine> I know I can run Dreamweaver but that seems pointless. Would rather stick with the free route
[03:11] <cishpix> how can I enable php5 module in apache2? I've install it but I'm still can browse the php file from browser, the error is show the dialog box about download/open the php file, what should I do?
[03:11] <Dezine> Bluefish will do for now
[03:11] <tripitakit> Tuxedo_08-09, which version of ubuntu?
[03:12] <Tuxedo_08-09> 8.10 i think... how do i check to be sure?
[03:12] <thompa> everything works but flash in 64. Anyone know what to do?
[03:12] <Gazelem> Hi.  I have a fairly newbie question, that I can't seem to find the answer to on the forums.  Anyone willing to help me out with my audio problems (Ubuntu 8.10)
[03:13] <Tuxedo_08-09> tripitakit: i think i have version 8.10
[03:13] <gaelfx> which package contains sdp daemon?
[03:13] <juniecho> hi, is there any way i can change my default music player? when i double-click an mp3 file in nautilus...
[03:13] <gaelfx> juniecho: right click, properties, and select the prgram you want
[03:13] <Spaz926> Tuxedo_08-09: Menu>System>System Monitor>System
[03:13] <tripitakit> Tuxedo_08-09, i think i read somethin about driver probs in 8.10 for some nvida cards
[03:14] <gaelfx> (of the file in question)
[03:14] <thompa> flash works through the firefox 32 install on 64 box but no sound.  Is their an easier solution?
[03:14] <Tuxedo_08-09> tripitakit: ok
[03:14] <Spaz926> Tuxedo_08-09: what is your problem?
[03:15] <c0mp13371331337> thompa: Well, seems to be working fine for me.  Did you 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree'?
[03:15] <marc> Juniecho: right click and choose open with
[03:15] <nizar> hey guys, whats ubuntu's firewall called?
[03:15] <juniecho> gaelfx: thanks
[03:15] <tripitakit> nizar iptables
[03:15] <gaelfx> juniecho: no problem
[03:15] <Dezine> Eh, Kompozer is kinda ugly under gnome
[03:15] <c0mp13371331337> thompa: BTW, that works for me with 64bit FF.
[03:15] <wandana> How to get back an older package version of unison after updating to Ubuntu 8.10?
[03:15] <gaelfx> juniecho: it should change it for all files of that type as well
[03:15] <nizar> tripitakit: the GUI firewall
[03:15] <Tuxedo_08-09> Spaz926: im trying to find an nvidia geforece 7800 graphics card driver
[03:15] <tripitakit> nizar, and a plenty of gui
[03:15] <nizar> called fire-something if i remember right
[03:15] <xorlim> what is this program? --> 6404/gvfsd-http
[03:15] <thompa> c0mp13371331337: yes.  can you try comedycentral.com
[03:16] <tripitakit> firestarter maybe
[03:16] <thompa> c0mp13371331337: a couple sites dont work
[03:16] <juniecho> gaelfx: btw is there a way to just set just all music files types like that? like mp3 wma flac...
[03:16] <nizar> tripitakit: yeah that one thanks
[03:16] <thompa> c0mp13371331337: they did in hardy, makes me think its a browser issue
[03:16] <gaelfx> xorlim: I believe it's the http protocol for accessing filesystems of type gvfs
[03:17] <gaelfx> juniecho: er, I'm not too sure, but you COULD do that for each filetype
[03:17] <gaelfx> juniecho: lemme check though
[03:17] <Tuxedo_08-09> .
[03:17] <juniecho> gaelfx: which do you think is better, rythembox or totem?
[03:17] <xorlim> gaelfx: I want to disable it on boot.
[03:17] <Spaz926> Tuxedo_08-09: I've had many problems with my nVidia GeForce driver in 8.10. I finally had to uninstall it completely and configure my graphics manually and deal without having great graphics.
[03:17] <gaelfx> juniecho: rhythmbox, but I really don't like totem because of it's video handling, not it's music playing
[03:17] <thompa> c0mp13371331337: on firefox32 I get those without sound but the pulseadio fix does not work either.
[03:17] <xorlim> gaelfx: I do not have filesystems of that type as far as I know. It was connected to amazonaws.com which I do not do business with.
[03:18] <tripitakit> Spaz926, Tuxedo_08-09 is a reported bug i guess
[03:18] <scunizi> Spaz926, which GForce driver?
[03:18] <vryk014k45> I upgraded to 8.10 and now I can't hear sounds on youtube and other video sites. Any ideas why?
[03:18] <Tuxedo_08-09> aSpaz926: alright, thanks mate.
[03:18] <thompa> but it should work in firefox 64
[03:18] <scunizi> Spaz926, or chipset?
[03:18] <centaur5> Did Intrepid change some of the variables that are used in a preseed file?
[03:18] <gaelfx> xorlim: yeah, but there are probably other websites that use that as their file access method, so it might not be great
[03:18] <Spaz926> scunizi: I have forgotten. LOL. Sorry
[03:18] <Tuxedo_08-09> <brb
[03:18] <c0mp13371331337> thompa: Works fine for me.  Apparantly YMMV, though.
[03:18] <juniecho> yeah :) in windows i could use korean GOM player and winamp :) wish i had them in linux
[03:19] <secion8> Anyone any info on how to get a USb GPS receiver working with viking.
[03:19] <gaelfx> juniecho: go to System->Preferences->Preferred Applications
[03:19] <xorlim> gaelfx: I hope they don't have access to my file system.
[03:19] <scunizi> Spaz926, wasn't the 8200 chipset by chance?  I've just ordered a new motherboard and I've heard that ibex's kernel "might" work with it.
[03:19] <xorlim> gaelfx: it seems gvfs is used to accept my music/audio CDs.
[03:19] <thompa> c0mp13371331337: I have 4 machines running ubuntu 64 and cant watch videos on those sites.
[03:19] <YeTr2> I need some help breaking my system. I'm running a 64bit capable machine, but for other reasons, the userland and all is 32bit. I would like to install the amd64 kernel because this machine is equipped with 8GB of memory and I would like to at least attempt to take advangates of the hardware's abilities for running 64bit. How can I configure apt to maintain a linux-image from amd64 on a x86 system?
[03:19] <karsten> juniecho: For winamp:  xmms, though amaorak or whatever the gnome music player is called is pretty good.
[03:19] <gaelfx> xorlim: no, no, I mean that if you access THEIR files, it would use that protocol if theiir FS is gvfs
[03:19] <trevheg> I upgraded to 8.10 and now I can't hear sounds in flash. Does anyone know why?
[03:19] <Gazelem> My audio went dead when in installed smbfc.  Any ideas how to get it back.
[03:19] <xorlim> gaelfx: ok
[03:19] <Spaz926> scunizi: I have no idea what it was, how do I find out?
[03:20] <thompa> c0mp13371331337: are you using lib32 ?
[03:20] <scunizi> Spaz926, lspci
[03:20] <xorlim> gaelfx: how do I access their files?
[03:20] <juniecho> amaorak?
[03:20] <tripitakit> scunizi, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810
[03:20] <c0mp13371331337> thompa: lib32?  Oh yes.  I'm not masochistic..... ;-)
[03:20] <juniecho> so is xmms like some frontend to amaorak?

[03:20] <karsten> juniecho: KDE music player.
[03:20] <winferno> Anyone with an ekiga.net setup feel like calling me for a voice test?
[03:20] <gaelfx> xorlim: I might be wrong on that though, have you tried looking for the package in packages.ubuntu.com?
[03:20] <dominik1> did I once again reach to ubuntu support chat?
[03:20] <karsten> juniecho: No, xmms is  awinamp clone, can use winamp skinns
[03:21] <scunizi> tripitakit, read those earlier but they didn't mention the 8200 as far as I could tell.
[03:21] <karsten> dominik1: yes.
[03:21] <rww> dominik1: this is the IRC channel for Ubuntu support, yes
[03:21] <gaelfx> juniecho: if you don't use Kubuntu, I would suggest getting Exaile rather than Amarok
[03:21] <dominik1> rww: thank you
[03:21] <thompa> c0mp13371331337: so are you saying the video flash works with sound there??
[03:21] <mukhlis> ck / zz
[03:21] <juniecho> karsten oh that IS sweet!!!!!!! i have a winamp skin i've used over 7 years (seriously seven years)
[03:21] <c0mp13371331337> thompa: Yes sir, works fine here.
[03:21] <karsten> juniecho: :)
[03:21] <thompa> c0mp13371331337: so whats the solution
[03:21] <dominik1> ok, the problem is that my drivers don't work, most importantly my wireless driver does not work
[03:22] <sar4j> I (and a few others) have found an issue where there is a slow login in INTREPID Ibex. Ibex solved a lot of issues. This however is a little annoying. I have put everything in one blog post, can some one help. http://blog.sarathonline.com/2008/11/slow-login-intrepid-ibex-x-is-problem.html
[03:22] <millenica> jel ima nekog iz Srbije za Boga miloga?
[03:22] <Gazelem> Noone must be able to help me get my audio back.  I guess, it is just a lost cause.
[03:22] <juan> hi
[03:22] <thompa> c0mp13371331337: if you are on ibix 64?
[03:22] <dominik1> I am useing a boradcom wirless adaptor, the computer is about 3 years old so I imange the wireless card is too
[03:22] <Spaz926> scunizi: I have no idea what it is. LOL
[03:22] <Spaz926> MCP51, scunizi
[03:22] <juan> hi guys and girls
[03:22] <tripitakit> scunizi, maybe your card uses one of the 71 o 96 nvidia series
[03:22] <thompa> c0mp13371331337: *ibex
[03:22] <rww> !hi | juan
[03:22] <Doctor_N1ck> They have a adopted son Ubuntu, who is from Africa.
[03:23] <juan> about ubuntu Ibex
[03:23] <c0mp13371331337> thompa: Well, I didn't mess around with 32bit FF at all.  Just installed Ibex64 and flashplugin-nonfree from the repos.
[03:23] <juan> a question?
[03:23] <thompa> c0mp13371331337: how did you install flash and what version of firefox
[03:23] <TJ-42> how does the encryption built into ubuntu 8.10 compare with something like trucrypt?
[03:23] <Gazelem> Alright, well, this room was not help.
[03:23] <c0mp13371331337> thompa: v3.0.3 of Firefox, and 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree' for Flash.
[03:23] <dominik1> how can I attach a USB mouse?
[03:24] <thompa> c0mp13371331337: i can get you tube but not hulo or comedy channel as usual
[03:24] <juniecho> gaelfx, does exaile support winamp skins?
[03:24] <rww> !es | juan, if you're more comfortable speaking in Spanish:
[03:24] <thompa> c0mp13371331337: not get
[03:24] <gaelfx> xorlim: ah, I think I've figured out what it is
[03:24] <juan> speak spanish?
[03:24] <wandana> How to get back an older package version of unison after updating to Ubuntu 8.10?
[03:24] <tritium> juan: not here, no
[03:24] <gaelfx> xorlim: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GVFS
[03:24] <scunizi> tripitakit, no.. I don't think so.. here it is here. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?Sku=P450-9120
[03:24] <thompa> c0mp13371331337: maybe its compiz or something else
[03:24] <tripitakit> !es | juan
[03:24] <sar4j> hello, any one expeiencing slow login in Ibex?
[03:25] <gaelfx> juniecho: um, I don't think so, but there are a number of plugins available for it, so you might try to check that out
[03:25] <q00> dominik1: i use evdev
[03:25] <juan> thanks ubottu
[03:25] <q00> its good ^^
[03:25] <dominik1> q00: thankyou, but nvm, usb plug is dead :( not ubuntu falt
[03:25] <kgod> sar4j: Have you noticed the slow login problem with remote (ssh) or console sessions as well?
[03:25] <gaelfx> dominik1: ouch, that sucks, happened to me a while back, good luck!
[03:25] <c0mp13371331337> thompa: Good question, man.  I'd try rolling back to Firefox 64bit, remove flashplugin-nonfree, and reinstalling it.
[03:25]  * kgod wonders where his backspace key went...
[03:26] <sar4j> kgod: no only gdm
[03:26] <dominik1> can anyone help me get with my wireless adaptor? ubuntu recognizes it as disabled
[03:26] <juniecho> gaelfx: thanks :)
[03:26] <tritium> kgod: wherever your keyboard went
[03:26] <scunizi> sar4j, check out http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810  ... I think there's info there on slow logins.
[03:26] <danbhfive> dominik1: is it usb, or pci?
[03:26] <kgod> juniecho: rhythmbox is the gnome music player BTW.
[03:26] <thompa> c0mp13371331337: i tried it a few times on new install but not work
[03:26] <gaelfx> juniecho: no problem, I've gone through a lot of different programs, so I know what you're going through I think
[03:26] <dominik1> danbhfive: its internal
[03:26] <Spaz926> tripitakit: I'm installing Apache now
[03:26] <dominik1> danbhfive: I am working with a laptop
[03:26] <kgod> tritium: KDE terminal doesn't read my backspace key.
[03:26] <nizar> is there a software that allows you to see your computer specs?
[03:27] <Spaz926> tripitakit: Why is it installing .exe files?
[03:27] <juan> about damn small linux
[03:27] <thompa> c0mp13371331337: im going to try and purge all the flash stuff first
[03:27] <kgod> tritium: other apps are fine.
[03:27] <thompa> c0mp13371331337: also lib32 files
[03:27] <tritium> nizar: start with "cat /proc/cpuinfo"
[03:27] <tritium> kgod: I don't use KDE, sorry
[03:27] <danbhfive> dominik1: then I think you want to run pcmcia to find out about your card
[03:27] <danbhfive> dominik1: sorry, lspcmcia
[03:27] <kgod> tritium: I generally prefer wmaker myself.
[03:28] <dominik1> danbhfive: how do I do this? this is my first day on linux
[03:28] <juan> I have an old computer, run ubuntu?
[03:28] <marshall> how are you supposed to configure elisa?
[03:28] <Spaz926> juan: most likely
[03:28] <tripitakit> Spaz926, dont know! use synaptic !!
[03:28] <nizar> tritium: thanks.. is there a GUI one?
[03:28] <khotchkiss> juan - try xbuntu
[03:28] <danbhfive> !terminal | dominik1
[03:28] <rww> juan: Depending on how old it is, you might want to look into Xubuntu instead.
[03:28] <babaklinux> hi
[03:28] <kgod> juan: How old?  How much memory, how much CPU, how much disk?
[03:28] <Spaz926> tripitakit: I used apt-get
[03:28] <tritium> nizar: not sure
[03:28] <zerothis> old computer, run xubuntu if ubuntu is slow
[03:28] <tripitakit> Spaz926, :) ok
[03:28] <sar4j> scunizi: No fun! nothing there
[03:28] <kgod> juan: xubuntu's likely your best bet, or   just run a differen light window manager under ubuntu/kubuntu
[03:29] <juan> ok
[03:29] <Spaz926> tripitakit: I see now, those where fonts
[03:29] <tripitakit> Spaz926, really dont know about the .exe
[03:29] <gaelfx> I can't pair my bluetooth mouse with my bluetooth dongle, and I know that sdpd is not on my system, I suspect that is a large part of the problem, what can I do to get it back on my sytem?
[03:29] <pjazzy> hi
[03:29] <babaklinux> I want mount a floppy disk but when I type  sudo mount /dev/fd0 this error appear mount: block device /dev/fd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
[03:29] <babaklinux> mount: you must specify the filesystem type how van h solve this problem?
[03:29] <juan> had damn small linux but I get error when booting
[03:29] <dominik1> danbhfive: lspcmcia returned nothing I understand: "Socket 0 Bridge: [yenta_cardbus] (bus ID: 0000:05:09.0)"
[03:29] <rww> !bittorrent | rww
[03:29] <Spaz926> tripitakit: Any way to configure the apache files very easily or is coding the easiest way>
[03:30] <tripitakit> Spaz926, use his config file :)
[03:30] <tripitakit> Spaz926, check for a howto
[03:30] <zerothis> I'd like to make our organization's computers act enough like other operating systems that volunteers are not scared away from operating them. Similar look, same shortcut keys, menu layout, similar names for it all ("Stuff" menu instead of Start Menu, Contortion Panel, Finger instead of Finder, etc). I know how to do all that, but, can I then setup several "new user profiles", one themed mac, one themed XP, one themed vista. Th
[03:30] <danbhfive> dominik1: is that it?    Th"
[03:31] <kgod> zerothis: Is there a question there?
[03:31] <bullgard4> Where is the font size set that gedit uses to display the content of a text file?
[03:31] <zerothis> . Then when a new user is created, easily select one; ideally the new user would select it?
[03:31] <juan> Hi someone here uses damn small linux?
[03:31] <tripitakit> Spaz926, and activate webserver then check at http://localhost in firefox
[03:31] <wandana> juan: yes
[03:31] <tritium> juan: please stay on topic (ubuntu support)
[03:31] <wandana> juan: well, I did
[03:31] <babaklinux> I want mount a floppy disk but when I type  sudo mount /dev/fd0 this error appear http://www.binpaste.com/v.php?id=t1hqg what do I have to do?
[03:31] <rww> bullgard4: Monospace 10pt, by default
[03:32] <scunizi> sar4j, sorry.. I could have sworn that there was something there about slow boots.
[03:32] <dragondef> I just installed the 8.10 for my father, and his compiz or desktop effects has went out. I do believe that it no longer recognizes his XGL or his card.
[03:32] <Spaz926> tripitaki: says "It Works"
[03:32] <kgod> zerothis: how often are you doing new user creation?
[03:32] <danbhfive> dominik1: is your wifi light lit?
[03:32] <ziorcas> Hey all.  How do i run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.27-7-generic (i686)?
[03:32] <wandana> juan: goto #damnsmalllinux
[03:32] <bullgard4> rww: My question was not what the default value is but rather where this value is set.
[03:32] <tripitakit> dragondef, there is a issue about nvidia cards
[03:32] <zerothis> once or twice a wekk perhaps
[03:32] <Tuxedo_08-09> How do i install VLC player?
[03:32] <natalie> hello, again, could someone please tell me how to disable ipv6
[03:32] <zerothis> kgod:high turnover
[03:32] <dominik1> danbhfive: no it is not, but pressing the button that should light, unlight it does not show a response
[03:33] <rww> zerothis: try Sabayon. I've been looking at some kinda-related stuff and its name came up, but haven't looked at it much. http://live.gnome.org/Sabayon
[03:33] <tripitakit> dragondef, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810
[03:33] <wandana> Can someone give me a hint how to get back an older unison version on my updated ubuntu 8.10
[03:33] <Tuxedo_08-09> How do i install VLC player???
[03:33] <scunizi> !ipv6 | natalie
[03:33] <juan> sorry
[03:33] <rww> bullgard4: sorry for the misunderstanding. Edit -> Preferences -> Font & Colors
[03:33] <babaklinux> please help me I want mount a floppy disk but when I type  sudo mount /dev/fd0 this error appear http://www.binpaste.com/v.php?id=t1hqg what do I have to do?
[03:33] <khotchkiss> sudo apt-get vlclan
[03:33] <calvino> Tuxedo_08-09, sudo aptitude install vlc
[03:33] <tripitakit> wandana, get the package from ubuntu packages
[03:33] <rww> bullgard4: unless you want to know where in the filesystem it's stored?
[03:33] <serialtux> hello all, I am running 8.04 and it will hang when I go to /media to access my 2 500GB drives.
[03:34] <Tuxedo_08-09> Thanks!
[03:34] <calvino> use aptitude, not apt-get
[03:34] <khotchkiss> * Vlc
[03:34] <zerothis> rww:oof! is Sabayon GNOME only? that makes theming kinda tough.
[03:34] <dragondef> Trippatakit: this computer doesn't have nvideia
[03:34] <bullgard4> natalie: ipv6 appears at several places and there is not only one file to remove IPv6 altogether.
[03:34] <juan> hi natalie
[03:34] <tritium> calvino: that's a personal preference
[03:34] <scunizi> calvino, doesn't matter
[03:34] <tripitakit> wandana, and try remove the new and dpkg -i the old one
[03:34] <ziorcas> How do i run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.27-7-generic (i686)?
[03:34] <wandana> tripitakit: Ok, I'll try that
[03:34] <Spaz926> tripitakit: what do I do for the domain?
[03:34] <rww> zerothis: yeah, I think so, since it's a GConf manager. If you don't want to use Gnome, I guess it wouldn't work for you
[03:34] <tripitakit> wandana, i think packages.ubuntu.com
[03:34] <CardiacKid> I've edited my x/config file and when i remote in I still only get 800x600 max resolution. Any other ways to force a resolution?
[03:34] <kgod> zerothis: I'd set that up as an admin feature.  Ask the user what their desktop pref is, say, Windows or OS X.  xfce4 is likely a better choice for themeable desktop as it does both osx and vista decorations
[03:35] <wandana> tripitakit: But won;t ubuntu install immediately the newer version when I do an update?
[03:35] <kgod> zerothis: Are we talking tens of users a day, several a week, several a month, or what?
[03:35] <Tuxedo_08-09> Calvino: once i have it downloaded, where will the launch icon be located?
[03:35] <tripitakit> wandana,  put the package in balcklist then
[03:35] <tripitakit> *blacklist
[03:35] <calvino> Tuxedo_08-09, /usr/bin/vlc
[03:35] <tripitakit> Spaz926, which domain?
[03:35] <kgod> zerothis: a template of configs, copied to the user's home dir via a script at acct creation, is likely your best bet.
[03:36] <wandana> tripitakit: Ah, ok, I'll look into that, thank you so far!
[03:36] <kgod> zerothis: remote logins to an X server, assigned desktops/laptops, or what?
[03:36] <Tuxedo_08-09> Clavino: and by drag-drop i can move it to desktop or the user-bar, right?
[03:36] <danbhfive> dominik1: well, I don't know why you are having a problem, but I think that your wifi not lighting up is the problem
[03:36] <ziorcas> How do i run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.27-7-generic (i686)?
[03:36] <kgod> CardiacKid: Depends on the card and X driver.  Standard X is pretty good at autodetecting, gnome/kde both have display configs under System Settings.
[03:37] <Spaz926> tripitakit: my virtual host, it asks for a domain name, but I don't want to register on, becuase I just want it to be internally in my network, so what domain do I use? My IP?
[03:37] <dominik1> danbhfive: how do I get it to light up under linux? it works fine when I boot into windows, it is enabled in windows, and it is enabled in my BIOS
[03:37] <bullgard4> rww: Thank you for your help.
[03:37] <rww> bullgard4: you're welcome!
[03:37] <Tuxedo_08-09> Calvino: by drag and dropping i can move the launcher to the desktop, right?
[03:37] <werdnus> hi!
[03:37] <CardiacKid> kgod, yep, I tried all those.
[03:38] <werdnus> Can Wubi install over the top of Windows?
[03:38] <ocioso> hi
[03:38] <tripitakit> Spaz926, give it the host name
[03:38] <rww> werdnus: do you mean, install in the same partition? yes, that's its purpose :)
[03:38] <danbhfive> dominik1: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/v2000/    I dunno.  According to that page, it should work.  So, its a bug
[03:38] <werdnus> rww: no, I mean I want to blow Windows away.
[03:38] <FAJ> !wubi
[03:38] <werdnus> I want Windows to go away and my laptop to be purely Ubuntu.
[03:38] <FAJ> !install | werdnus
[03:38] <natalie> I have appended the the pci=routeirq in to my /boot/grub/menu.lst in order to facilitate smoother running.  It does work, sort of.  It doesn't completely keep the machine from freezing, it just seems to take considerably more.  Does anyone have any other suggestions to try and stop my computer from freezing?
[03:38] <FAJ> hope it helps :)
[03:39] <FAJ> feel free to ask any questions too, it is just a good starting point
[03:39] <werdnus> ah, thanks.
[03:39] <tripitakit> Spaz926, but it's alot i dont congfigure apache so better u check a good tutorial for safety :)
[03:39] <ziorcas> How do i run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.27-7-generic (i686)?
[03:39] <werdnus> Yes, I know how OSS support works, I'm a MW developer. Just haven't installed straight from Windows before ;)
[03:39] <Spaz926> tripitakit: will do
[03:39] <kgod> CardiacKid: What's your GPU?
[03:40] <PATX> hey i need some help partitioning my hard drive to instal unbuntu on windows on help?
[03:40] <FAJ> werdnus:  there may be an option to do it in wubi,,, but you would have to format the partition, so it would be hard to b/c you would also have to format wubi ;)
[03:40] <werdnus> FAJ: ah, Unetbootin is the answer.
[03:40] <natalie> hi juan
[03:40] <flakeparadigm> could anyone help me with setting up drivers 3d drivers for my fairly old nvidia card?
[03:40] <droopsta915> how do i remove old kernels from my boot up menu?
[03:40] <Tuxedo_08-09> What is a good web design software that has a simple user friendly interface.
[03:40] <FAJ> ok :) whatever works for you :)
[03:40] <CardiacKid> kgod, onboard video on an old P3 box. SiS chipset I believe.
[03:40] <kgod> PATX: I believe the installer will do a dual-boot config for you automagickally.
[03:40] <werdnus> FAJ: well, that's what the FAQ you linked me to says :P
[03:41] <dominik1> danbhfive: is there an alternative way of enableing the wifi card? also he might have been useing a different wifi card
[03:41] <c0mp13371331337> Tuxedo_08-09: geany suits my needs rather well.
[03:41] <kgod> CardiacKid: OK, so no Nvidia / Radeon issues.  What's the chipset?  'lspci | grep -i vga'
[03:41] <PATX> kgod:can you join ##patx and walk me through it?
[03:41] <kgod> PATX: No
[03:41] <Tuxedo_08-09> c0mp: thanks mate! Cheers
[03:41] <FAJ> droopsta915:  go into synaptic and search for linux-image-xxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx  and remove it, it is prolly a meta package and will remove the rest,,, but it is never recommneded to remove old kernels... just in case. and only if you need more room
[03:41] <ziorcas> Can anyone tell me how to get an nvidia driver working on my computer, worked fine in 8.04, cant seem to get it happening in 8.10
[03:41] <c0mp13371331337> Tuxedo_08-09: No problem
[03:41] <tripitakit> Tuxedo_08-09, u'd only try them and choose the best for u
[03:41] <PATX> kgod:well the what do i do?
[03:42] <FAJ> werdnus:  personally i would install from a livecd, that way you have the disk too, but the smart people in ubuntu prolly know better, i just know i like my way :)
[03:42] <Tuxedo_08-09> tripitakit: i realize that, but i was just looking for some suggestions, but thanks!
[03:42] <YeTr2> so... debian has this nice feature of providing a 64bit enabled kernel in the 32bit repos, it allows me to do silly things like keeping a 32bit userland and still getting all the 64bit extras like +4GB memory support. what's the chance that ubuntu will pick up on this?
[03:42] <droopsta915> FAJ: thanx
[03:42] <kgod> PATX: Reading the installation manual would be a start.
[03:42] <werdnus> FAJ: I don't have a CD drive ;)
[03:42] <CardiacKid> kgod: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 630/730 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter (rev 21)
[03:42] <FAJ> werdnus:  ahh well then there we go
[03:42] <tripitakit> Tuxedo_08-09, this was mine suggestion :)
[03:42] <PATX> kgod:where would i find that?
[03:42] <dotblank> hey I have question about slapd and I am trying to run this command to import some users into my ldap database "ldapadd -x -W -D "cn=admin,dc=ubuntu,dc=home" -f ~/people_group.idf " but gives me
[03:42] <dotblank> ldap_add: Invalid DN syntax (34)
[03:42] <kgod> PATX: Google is your friend.
[03:42] <Tuxedo_08-09> tripitakit: haha alright, thanks, mate.
[03:42] <tripitakit> Tuxedo_08-09, u know what u like better than us
[03:42] <CardiacKid> kgod: but like I said, I'm remoting into this machine and that is when I'm havign the issue.
[03:42] <calvino> Tuxedo_08-09, no, you can't simply drag&drop the binary...
[03:43] <rww> Is there a program to manage services that's a little more advanced than System > Administration > Services? I know how to disable them manually, but would like a nice GUI frontend, but Services doesn't include all services, and is kinda simplistic.
[03:43] <kgod> CardiacKid: I'm in console at the moment (have my own X config issues)_, but pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:43] <kgod> CardiacKid: ??
[03:43] <Tuxedo_08-09> Calvino: then how do i add the launcher to my toolbar or desktop? Can i even do that?
[03:43] <FAJ> !info bum | rww
[03:43] <kgod> CardiacKid: remoting how?
[03:43] <dominik1> danbhfive: also my video card is nto recognized.  when I go to the hardware manager it tells me it has a driver but it is not activated, when I activate it a window pops up dowloading somthing but the bar stays at 0% then that window just closes, without an error message and the driver is still not activated.
[03:43] <xorlim> should I kill all gvfs processes if I have memory problems in my system?
[03:43] <rww> FAJ: thanks :)
[03:43] <FAJ> np
[03:43] <CardiacKid> kgod: vnc.
[03:44] <FAJ> dominik1:  is it nvidia?
[03:44] <zerothis> kgod: each volunteer will be operating our computers in person on site. I and other trained staff can't always be there to guide them when we have a new person, it'll have to be an intuitive setup. xubuntu is great for the different looks but I'm not so sure about the different behaviors. I can start hacking in KDE and GNOME elements but then that presents a stability issue which is equally unfriendly to the volunteers
[03:44] <calvino> Tuxedo_08-09, yes, with a so called "Desktop" file
[03:44] <kgod> CardiacKid: OK, so you've got a *local* display (linux, mac, windows, whatever) that's > 800x600, but VNC is presenting you with an 800x600 display on the remote side?
[03:44] <PATX> kgod: -_- thanks...
[03:44] <wandana> tripitakit: Hey that works, thanks
[03:44] <kgod> zerothis: Keep It Simple, Silly.  Stick to xubuntu.
[03:44] <Tuxedo_08-09> Calvino: elaborate please mate.
[03:44] <dominik1> FAJ: no ati
[03:44] <tripitakit> wandana, :)
[03:45] <calvino> Tuxedo_08-09, english please
[03:45] <wandana> tripitakit: Could you give me a little hint where to look for this blacklist stuff?
[03:45] <CardiacKid> kgod: yep. When I had a monitor plugged in, it was ok.
[03:45] <FAJ> dominik1: ok then you should just have to install aticonfig and it would install the other right packages for your card... does it say what it is trying to install?
[03:45] <kgod> CardiacKid: vncviewer has an argument for display size.  'vncviewer -g <geometry> remotehost:display' or something like that.  RTFM.
[03:45] <Tuxedo_08-09> Calvino: i mean... how do i get the vlc launcher to go to my desktop?
[03:45] <kgod> CardiacKid: OK.  That has *nothing* to do with the graphics card or X config on the remote host.
[03:46] <kgod> CardiacKid: In fact you don't even need an X server, just VNCserver.
[03:46] <tripitakit> wandana, in synaptic
[03:46] <kgod> CardiacKid: ... which has its own virtual X server.
[03:46] <dominik1> FAJ: hold up, i just installed ubuntu updates and now the hardware drivers shows alot more, including my wireless driver, let me try again
[03:46] <calvino> Tuxedo_08-09. with a so called desktop file, please google for it, ok? there are plenty howtos for that available
[03:46] <FAJ> dominik1: ok, ya normally it is good to update your system ;)
[03:46] <Tuxedo_08-09> Calvino: alright, thanks a lot!
[03:46] <kgod> zerothis: I'd script up the configuration, maybe have a web-based tool to set it up, or have a first-time session which presented the user with a UI configuration choice, copied in the appropriate configs, booted 'em out of X, then restarted them.
[03:47] <dominik1> FAJ: "SystemError: Failed to lock /var/cahce/apt/archives/lock"
[03:47] <Genius314> Where are the xkb files in 8.10? I'm looking for the ones that had each countries layouts (us, uk, etc).
[03:47] <calvino> Tuxedo_08-09, you are welcome :)
[03:47] <dominik1> FAJ: this happened when I tryed to activate ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver
[03:47] <kgod> dominik1: Either you're not root (use sudo) or you're already running synaptic
[03:47] <node357> okay gonna try one more time then I give up. The line-in on my "HDA Intel" sound card isn't working
[03:47] <kgod> dominik1: .... or another package manager.
[03:47] <PATX> Can anyone help me partition my disc?
[03:47] <CardiacKid> kgod: so where would the 'vncviewer -g <geometry> remotehost:display' or whatever be edited?
[03:47] <kgod> PATX: man fdisk
[03:47] <FAJ> dominik1: ?
[03:48] <CardiacKid> kgod: I'm a n00b, can you tell?
[03:48] <zerothis> kgod: but can xubuntu simulate the mac menu bar like gnome, the vista wigets like KDE, all the keyboard shortcuts, the different menu layouts? Once they are booted to desktop, they'll be using the same 10 or so applications usually, so that part will be simple.
[03:48] <dominik1> FAJ: yes?
[03:48] <FAJ> dominik1: it's because you have another instance of synaptic/ aptitude/apt-get running
[03:48] <Tuxedo_08-09> Calvino: im afraid ill have to bother you again =\  alright so the installation is complete (according to the terminal)  so how did you say i was to access the VLC player?
[03:48] <kgod> PATX: Dual boot install is nontrivial. You're going to need a partition editor (gparted is good) and you're going to have to do some reading. No I won't walk you through it.  Backing up your HD is a *VERY* good idea.
[03:48] <FAJ> dominik1:  or because you are not sudo
[03:48] <kgod> CardiacKid: How are you starting vnc now?
[03:48] <calvino> Tuxedo_08-09, /usr/bin/vlc, or just "vlc"
[03:48] <dominik1> FAJ: I just closed all, and I do not belive I am root, how do I become root, right now I am dominik
[03:49] <Tuxedo_08-09> Calvino: i do this in the terminal?
[03:49] <c0mp13371331337> Tuxedo_08-09: There should be a menu entry for it under Sound and Video, as well.
[03:49] <djhash> Tuxedo_08-09: Applications -> Sound & video -> VLC
[03:49] <tripitakit> wandana, in synaptic -> status button (i guess i'm using italian version)
[03:49] <kgod> zerothis: It's configurable, yes. There are a few desktops that specifically emulate a Windows desktop.  Most of them are based on icewm or fvwm2 IIRC.
[03:49] <calvino> Tuxedo_08-09, you can also run vlc in the background by adding a "&" at the end of the command like this: "vld &"
[03:49] <calvino> vlc*
[03:49] <FAJ> dominik1:  don't become root, just start your commands with sudo.  so     sudo apt-get install <package-name>
[03:49] <calvino> Tuxedo_08-09, yes
[03:49] <FAJ> !sudo | dominik1
[03:49] <kgod> zerothis: I find that explicitly emulating Windows _isn't_ all that great an idea as you have the near valley effect.  It's close, but not quite there.
[03:49] <kgod> zerothis: But see what works for you.
[03:49] <Tuxedo_08-09> Oh thanks everyone that replied! You especially for walking me through this Calvino
[03:49] <tripitakit> wandana,  --> installed --> u select the package u want to lock ...
[03:50] <Ashfire908> Is the tabbed natuils a ubuntu-specific feature or upstream?
[03:50] <dominik1> FAJ: i got to the hardware driver window by going to System -> Admin -> ... I did NOT use the terminal
[03:50] <CardiacKid> kgod: client side. I have an xp pro laptop ond vista desktop. Neither vnc client has display resolution options. Shoudl they?
[03:50] <kgod> zerothis: I'd ordinarially have said "just run KDE and set a Windows-like theme", but trying out KDE4 for the first time here it really is ass.
[03:50] <tripitakit> wandana, then click on Package menu  and Lock version
[03:50] <Doji> Ashfire908: upstream, part of Gnome
[03:50] <FAJ> dominik1: ok well is it working now?
[03:50] <kgod> CardiacKid: Sec...
[03:50] <Ashfire908> Doji, ok, sweet
[03:50] <calvino> Tuxedo_08-09, no problem ;)
[03:50] <kgod> CardiacKid: OK, two thoughts.  I think you may have to set it up server side with a VNC session or VNC server config file.
[03:51] <djhash> !wtf | kgod
[03:51] <YeTr2> so, when will ubuntu provide a 64bit enabled kernel for usage by 32bit systems like debian does now?
[03:51] <Tuxedo_08-09> Alright here i have another question. Is there any way i can password protect specific files?
[03:51] <dominik1> FAJ: no, I have not tryed to do it through the terminal (I dont know how)
[03:51] <Genius314> Does anyone know where the files for keyboard layouts are? (They used to be in something like /etc/X11/xkb/symbols)
[03:51] <wandana> tripitakit: Ohhh, sweet
[03:51] <flakeparadigm> Hello
[03:51] <kgod> CardiacKid: ... also, if you can find a remote desktop _server_ for Linux, you can run remote desktop which wins on a number of counts.
[03:51] <FAJ> dominik1:  pm?
[03:51] <wandana> tripitakit: Thank you very much!
[03:51] <dominik1> FAJ: how?
[03:51] <kgod> djhash: wups
[03:51] <c0mp13371331337> Tuxedo_08-09: You can change the permissions so that only root can access them.  See 'man chmod' and 'man chown'.
[03:51] <tripitakit> wandana, hope u'll find the way
[03:52] <dominik1> FAj: this is the first time useing pigin?
[03:52] <Christianx> hola
[03:52] <Christianx> como estan
[03:52] <flakeparadigm> Does anyone think they could help me with some nvidia 3d drivers for older nvidia cards? The drivers worked in the earlier versions of hardy but now they have changed and none work.
[03:52] <wandana> tripitakit: yes, yes, I just did it, you've been very helpful!
[03:52] <c0mp13371331337> Tuxedo_08-09: This can be done with entire directories, as well.
[03:52] <tripitakit> wandana, ur welcome
[03:52] <xMatiasx> Weird Question: Does anyone know why MBR magic numbers are: AA55 ?
[03:52] <CardiacKid> kgod: I'll look into remote desktop server for linux, but could you point me in the right direction to edit the vnc server config file?
[03:52] <kgod> CardiacKid: What are you running for vnc server on the Ubuntu side?
[03:52] <node357> how do I get the line-in to work on HDA Intel sound card?
[03:52] <FAJ> !es | Christianx
[03:52] <Tuxedo_08-09> c0mp: thanks
[03:53] <kgod> CardiacKid: Checking that right now.  I don't have vncserver installed ATM.
[03:53] <CardiacKid> kgod: whatever came with 8.04
[03:53] <Spaz926> tripitakit: I can get into it on my local computer, but not on any others
[03:53] <tripitakit> Spaz926, it's a permission issue
[03:54] <b33r> can anyone tell me is it normal for pidgin to use 100MB+ of ram?
[03:54] <Spaz926> tripitakit: how to fix?
[03:54] <dotblank> no
[03:54] <c0mp13371331337> CardiacKid: Does the Vino VNC Server not suit your needs?  It's already built into Ubuntu and is pretty configurable.  I even find it to be faster than most VNC servers.
[03:54] <tripitakit> Spaz926, enable access to the web root dir
[03:54] <imaw> gud day everyone, pls help, im using CRUNCHBANG Linux on my machine, the reason is that my machine has a lower hardware spec..   the problem is , when i open my Totem Media Player, it will automatically close,, anybody can give an idea so that i can fixed this problem.. thank you very much
[03:55] <kgod> CardiacKid: I've got a hardy install here and it doesn't have a VNC server installed AFAICT.
[03:55] <c0mp13371331337> b33r: At the moment, pidgin is using about 50 megs on mine.  Then again, I'm only on #ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic.
[03:55] <CardiacKid> c0mp13371331337: it's great. only I'm only gettign 800x600 screen resolution through it.
[03:55] <tripitakit> imaw, dunno CRUNCHb. linux sorry...
[03:56] <b33r> c0mp13371331337, I only use it for msn and yahoo not irc and atm it's using 160MB :P so I think something is wrong
[03:56] <Tuxedo_08-09> How do i configure my printer so that anyone connected on my network can print from it?
[03:56] <kgod> CardiacKid: 'vncconfig' may be the command you want.
[03:56] <CardiacKid> kgod: idk ? 2 say. it was there and I'm vnc'd in.
[03:57] <djhash> c0mp13371331337: b33r: I'm using Konversation and i'm in 6 channels.. plus 2 tabs for two server connections and has been running for more then 48 hours.. and only 13.8MB?!!!
[03:57] <CardiacKid> kgod: vncconfig did not work... hmmm.
[03:57] <kgod> CardiacKid: Some of this stuff is getting fancy.  'apropos vnc' or 'dpkg --get-selections | grep vnc' should give a clue.
[03:57] <c0mp13371331337> CardiacKid: Hmmmm.... That'd odd.  I've got a 3200x1200 desktop, and it's always given me the entire thing, even when connecting from a 1600x1200 single-monitor system; it just scrolls around.  What resolution is the server-machine set to?
[03:57] <wandana> Anyone here who had luck to connect his nokia phone to ubuntu? I've a E60 and it is not supported by wammu. Is there an alternative?
[03:57] <zerothis> kgod: thanks
[03:57] <Tuxedo_08-09> How do i configure my printer so that anyone connected on my network can print from it?
[03:58] <kgod> CardiacKid: Do you have a 'vncserver' command on the Ubuntu box?
[03:58] <Genius314> Compiz-Fusion isn't giving me transparency on my window borders... I have an ATI All-in-Wonder 9800. It's probably a driver issue, because it used to work in 8.04, even with the Git version of Compiz.
[03:58] <b33r> djhash, so there's definitely a problem with mine :/
[03:58] <kgod> CardiacKid: 'vncserver -geometry WxH' should be what you want.
[03:58] <Doji> c0mp13371331337: b33r : djhash : my pidgin's only using 19mb.
[03:58] <kgod> zerothis: NP
[03:58] <CardiacKid> kgod: what do you mean?
[03:58] <mwilson_> hey guys, quick and easy one.
[03:58] <dubby> Hey anyone, i really need help, I have used Ubuntu for over 2 years now, and intrepid ibex is the first time compiz has given me an issue, using ati x1950
[03:58] <rww> mwilson_: shoot
[03:59] <go_beep_yourself> how do i get motion to create videos instead of jpgs?
[03:59] <node357> so no one wants to help me, great
[03:59] <mwilson_> setting up the new QT Creator...    where the heck to I point it to find the QT4 package?
[03:59] <mwilson_> Side Bar - can display the Projects, Bookmarks, Opened Documents, or File System.
[03:59] <kgod> CardiacKid: Those are shell commands.  'apropos' searches for patterns in manual page descriptions (and may show VNC-related commands or at least manpages).  dpkg can list installed packages.
[03:59] <PATX> can some other than kgod help me partition my hard disc?
[03:59] <Tuxedo_08-09> node367: whats the problem mate?
[03:59] <dubby> he left
[03:59] <dubby> :-/ i never saw his question lol
[03:59] <Tuxedo_08-09> ah
[03:59] <Tuxedo_08-09> whoops haha
[03:59] <djhash> PATX: do you have anything on it thats important?
[03:59] <CardiacKid> kgod: I have vnc4server installed
[03:59] <kgod> djhash: Windows.
[04:00] <mwilson_> hello?
[04:00] <natalie> is there anybody who can help me find out what it is that I need to install to get vmware running on my pc?
[04:00] <kgod> CardiacKid: OK.  So do I now.   How did you start the vnc *server* session initially?  Or did you?
[04:00] <Tuxedo_08-09> mwilson_:yes?
[04:00] <mwilson_> need to know where to point QT Creator to find the QT libraries/headers in Ubuntu 8.10
[04:00] <roukoun> hi all
[04:01] <c0mp13371331337> natalie: Have you downloaded the VMWare package?  IIRC, that's all I ever needed.  That and the stupid serial key.
[04:01] <mwilson_> or is it not installed by default?
[04:01] <kgod> natalie: http://www.vmware.com/
[04:01] <djhash> PATX: no one can take responsibility, in walking you through the partition.. its a risk you have to take alone..  we can recommend softwares to use.. but it will be upto you to use them..
[04:01] <kgod> PATX: ... which is what I'm trying to tell you as well.
[04:01] <Petester> hi... can anyone help me with my wireless driver?
[04:01] <rww> mwilson_: I'm looking for them. Gimmie a sec :)
[04:01] <FAJ> !ask | Petester
[04:02] <mwilson_> rww thanks
[04:02] <Petester> i have a AR242x, I followed a guide and installed madwifi, worked properly yesterday, but not today
[04:02] <kgod> djhash: I already strongly recommended reading the install manual (which I think will automatically handle dual boot), backups, and partition editors.
[04:02] <CardiacKid> kgod: I didn't. I just start the machine and vnc in with machine name 'server'
[04:02] <Petester> I can't get the "Wireless Networks" option to show up in nm
[04:02] <roukoun> actually i have lost the /etc/sysconfig from my filesystem and i cant edit my connection but surprisingly i can access the internet. what can i do to bring it back?
[04:02] <FAJ> !madwifi | Petester
[04:02] <natalie> kgod:  I downloaded the package, installed it and used the serial key, but whenever I try and run it I get "vmware is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured for this system. To (re-)configure it, invoke the following command: /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl." And then I run it and it happens again.
[04:03] <Petester> !madwifi means..?
[04:03] <djhash> kgod: i belive it can.. but in the remote possiblity that it simply wipes his drive.. i dont want him to come screaming at us for it being our fault..
[04:03] <FAJ> Petester:  sorry thought it would give more pertinent info...
[04:03] <Petester> ah... i alreasdy seen that doc, but it didn't really help explain anything
[04:03] <c0mp13371331337> natalie: Have you rebooted?  There are some modules that need to be loaded that may not have fully loaded if you haven't done a reboot.
[04:03] <Pelo> anyone else having problems trying out the dust theme from the intrepid artwork page onthe ubuntu website ?
[04:03] <Ashnal> I was wondering if anyone in here could help me get a linksys wusb100 usb wireless adapter working
[04:03] <ldiamond> My networking is down. It worked fine last time I used it but now I cant connect. (I'm connected to another router now, but the router is fine.)
[04:04] <CardiacKid> c0mp13371331337: host machine is set to 800x600. that's the highest option I get.
[04:04] <FAJ> Petester:  is the card enabled in system>administration>hardware devices?
[04:04] <kgod> natalie: that's a non-supported third-party package.  VMWare's website is going to be where you should go for info.  There's a *very* unofficial #vmware channel here, I wouldn't recommend it.
[04:04] <cowbellemoo> Pelo, try the community-themes package in synaptic
[04:04] <Pelo> Ashnal, start with the forum  do a search on your hardware model  www.ubuntofurums.org
[04:04] <kgod> djhash: Nore i.
[04:04] <Pelo> cowbellemoo, I'll give it a shot
[04:04] <ldiamond> Anyone know how I can get the log of what's failing when I try to connect to my router?
[04:04] <kgod> djhash: My point was that he wouldn't even RTFM.
[04:04] <natalie> kgod: thanks
[04:04] <c0mp13371331337> CardiacKid: Ah, then it's not so much a Vino issue as it is a general xorg issue.
[04:04] <kgod> natalie: It's been a while since I've futzed w/ VMWare.  Would probably try KVM if I was doing anything now.
[04:04] <rww> mwilson_: i think they're in the libqt4-dev package, which puts header files in /usr/include/qt4/Qt/ and libraries in /usr/lib/. Try those paths.\
[04:05] <Ashnal> Pelo: I did start with the forum. I downloaded and installed the rt2870 RaLink drivers, but there is no network connection for it
[04:05] <djhash> kgod: lesson #1 in linux.. if you dont want to take time to read the manual.. then there is so much we can do..
[04:05] <natalie> kgod: is KVM better?
[04:05] <cowbellemoo> Pelo, or just search synaptic for "dust"
[04:05] <CardiacKid> c0mp13371331337: idk about that. I went that route and it didn't work.
[04:05] <kgod> CardiacKid: 'ps waux | grep [v]ncs' shows what for a commandline?
[04:05] <tripitakit> Ashnal, i'm looking for the driver that card uses
[04:05] <kgod> natalie: It's open source and I think it's packaged for Ubuntu...
[04:05] <djhash> !info kvm
[04:05] <Pelo> !wifi | Ashnal  have you tried this ?
[04:05] <Ashnal> tripitakit: its the rt2870 drivers
[04:05] <kgod> natalie: yes.
[04:05] <mwilson_> Oh, so it's not installed yet.  Ok, that works then.  I'll just install the pre-release of 4.5
[04:06] <natalie> kgod: I will give it a try then... will it run windows though?
[04:06] <ldiamond> Can anyone tell me where I can find the log of my wired connection? It fails to connect to my router.
[04:06] <kgod> natalie: I also believe it supports most of the mainstream OSs OOTB, though truth to tell one reason I'd like to play with it is to find out ;-)
[04:06] <mwilson_> rww thanks again.  QT Creator seems like a nice dev environment.. simple..   good to bring in new proggy guys
[04:06] <kgod> natalie: I *think* it does, but don't hold me to that.
[04:06] <Pelo> ldiamond, have you looked at /var/log ?
[04:06] <tripitakit> Ashnal, su u installed the driver ?
[04:06] <rww> mwilson_: yeah, I've been thinking of getting into QT development, so I was interested to know the answer to your question too :)
[04:06] <c0mp13371331337> CardiacKid: Well, VNC servers in general simply display whatever's on the host screen.  So if the host screen is 800x600, that's what you'll see when you VNC in.  If your hardware (graphics card and monitor) are capable of going higher, but there's no option to go higher, something needs to be reconfigured on the graphics end of things.
[04:06] <zerothis> well, I got enough to keep me busy for now I'd best get too it
[04:07] <Ashnal> I have the official RaLink native linux drivers installed, but there is no network connection recognized
[04:07] <CardiacKid> kgod: 'ps waux | grep [v]ncs' did nothing in command line.
[04:07] <kgod> CardiacKid: Hrm.
[04:07] <tripitakit> Ashnal, ifconfig lists a wlan?
[04:07] <Ashnal> I added rt2870sta into modprobe.d
[04:08] <kgod> CardiacKid: You should be able to fire up a new session and connect to it.  Just note that it will not be display 0 (or 1 if numbering starts at 1) on the host.
[04:08] <Ashnal> ifcongif lists my ethernet as eth0 my built in wireless card as wlan0 and lo
[04:08] <CardiacKid> comp133713311337: so t seems, but x/config did nothing to change resolution options.
[04:08] <Ashnal> *ifconfig
[04:08] <kgod> natalie: My last few experiments w/ VMWare on Linux have generally lead to kernel problems, so this doesn't suprise me too much.
[04:08] <Uplink> !chroot
[04:08] <FSCK_FSCK_FSCK> how do i uninstall ubuntu and install arch linux or any other superior linux distro?
[04:09] <tripitakit> Ashnal, and the driver is loaded (lsmod lists it'?)
[04:09] <kgod> natalie: ... Xen is another option, and Windows *does* run so long as you have an XP-enabled CPU, which is pretty standard for the past year or two.
[04:09] <Ashnal> yes
[04:09] <ldiamond> Can someone tell me why my eth0 is now suddenly eth1 ?
[04:09] <Ashnal> tripitakit: yeah its listed
[04:09] <CardiacKid> kgod: you may have lost me. fire up a new session? I'm on client side xp pro right now. do I open a new vnc sindow?
[04:09] <natalie> kgod: thanks for all of the help.  I will look in to those options
[04:09] <c0mp13371331337> CardiacKid: Yeah, I've never had much luck with those auto-config commands when it comes to Xorg.  Back when I had an ATI card, I had to manually configure /etc/X11/xorg.conf by hand.  Now that I've got my NVidia 8800, it's simple with the nvidia-settings package.  What type of card do you have?
[04:09] <kgod> FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: The alternate install should provide the option to fully wipe your current HD.  Just RTFM for that distro's installer.
[04:09] <mwilson_> rww  it's really a wonderful package.  serial port support sucks donkey, but it's a great thing.
[04:09] <rww> FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: download an ISO from http://archlinux.org/download/ (if you have fast internet, get the FTP one, not Core) and read http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners_Guide or http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_Arch_Linux_Install_Guide. Then, stop trolling.
[04:09] <tripitakit> Ashnal, but u cant see accesspoint (?)
[04:09] <kgod> natalie: NP.  Good luck.
[04:10] <Pe1o> who recommended I try the community theme pack ?
[04:10]  * ocioso no sabe ingles pero intenta ayudar ala comunidad ubuntu
[04:10] <Uplink> !chmod
[04:10] <rww> !es | ocioso
[04:10] <Pe1o> !es | ocioso
[04:10] <Ashnal> tripitakit: Not sure, the network manager lists networks for my built in card which i am using right now
[04:10] <bullgard4> What is the purpose of gnome-settings-daemon process ?
[04:10]  * ocioso Get ban on ubuntu-es
[04:10] <ocioso> jeje
[04:10] <kgod> bullgard4: It daemonizes gnome settings.
[04:10] <mwilson_> rww slots and signals is a great tool, all of the busywork is taken care of..  lets say, creat a label programatically.  It will have it's own container/form by default as it's not attached to one...   man, you just have to try it believe it.
[04:11] <kgod> ocioso: Well, don't do that then.
[04:11] <tripitakit> Ashnal, i missed something maybem i have two wifi adapters?
[04:11] <Ashnal> tripitakit: what I do know is that lsusb shows a usb device, lsmod shows rt2870sta, but ifconfig does not show any interface for the usb adapter
[04:11] <CardiacKid> comp133713311337: I did hand edit the xconfig file. no luck. The machine is runningan old onboard SiS chipset (Pentium3)
[04:11] <Pe1o> Anacranom, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel
[04:11] <ldiamond> Can someone tell me why my eth0 is now suddenly eth1 ?
[04:11] <FSCK_FSCK_FSCK> how do i replace all my guis with superior terminal applications?
 Pelo, try the community-themes package in synaptic
[04:11] <Ashnal> tripitakit: yes i have 2 wireless, my built in, and the usb
[04:11] <kgod> bullgard4: more specifically, g-s-d monitors several places that gnome settings are configured at and automatically applies them through the GNOME ORB or whatever the current architecture is.
[04:12] <cowbellemoo> ?
[04:12] <bullgard4> kgod: Can you elaborate what you mean by "to daemonize"? (One can daemonize money, for example. But I do not know what meaning you have given to the word 'daemonize.)
[04:12] <Pe1o> ldiamond, I got that when changed my mobo , the new network card was recognised but given a new number
[04:12] <tripitakit> Ashnal, maybe u need to ifdown the internal wlan adapter to get the usb up ?
[04:12] <Pe1o> thank Anacranom
[04:12] <Pe1o> cowbellemoo, didn't work
[04:12] <Ashnal> tripitakit:  ifdown?
[04:12] <Anacranom> Pelo, you asked
[04:12] <ldiamond> Pe1o, I didnt change anything tho.
[04:12] <kgod> FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: assuming sincerity on that question, google for 'console' or 'terminal' in the relvant application category.  Eg:  console email.  console web.
[04:12] <kgod> FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: ... or install TWIN
[04:13] <CardiacKid> kgod, comp133713311337: i'll remond you that I did not have this issue when I had a monitor plugged in. only when I took it off the machine and went headless.
[04:13] <c0mp13371331337> CardiacKid: Could have been edited incorrectly then.  Many men have perished attempting to edit xorg.conf by hand.  Perseverance is usually only rewarded by a lower resolution and/or color settings.  Took me about a week of editing, several hours a day, to get it working with my old ATI.
[04:13] <tripitakit> Ashnal, ifdown, take it don
[04:13] <tripitakit> *down
[04:13] <Ashnal> tripitakit: oh, why cant both be active at the same time?
[04:13] <stickfu> How do I play quicktime videos in firefox on ubuntu, ie from the apple movie trailers site
[04:13] <kgod> bullgard4: That was somewhat tongue in cheek.  In linux context it means to run background w/ stdin, stdout, and stderr redirected.    McCain is just ahead in 4 out of 6 of the tight states...
[04:13] <mwilson_> wow.
[04:14] <tripitakit> Ashnal, i really dont know if im right it just a thinnking
[04:14] <kgod> CardiacKid: yeah, yeah.
[04:14] <rww> !offtopic | mwilson_
[04:14] <xMatiasx> Weird Question: Does anyone know why MBR magic numbers are: AA55 ?
[04:14] <bullgard4> kgod: What you have outlined could have been implemented using a configuration file as well. And this with taking much less resources. So I do not accept your statement.
[04:14] <roukoun> actually i have lost the /etc/sysconfig from my filesystem and i cant edit my connection but surprisingly i can access the internet. what can i do to bring it back?
[04:14] <Ashnal> tripitakit: how would i reenable my built in card if i disable it using ifdown?
[04:14] <kgod> bullgard4: ??
[04:14] <CardiacKid> c0mp13371331337: I'll ask a developer at work. see what he thing of my vconfig work. I'm pretty sure I had it right.
[04:14] <mwilson_> lol.
[04:14] <xorlim> Ashnal: ifup
[04:14] <tripitakit> Ashnal, ifup
[04:14] <Pe1o> ldiamond, I was just relating my own experience,  regardless it's not much of an issue unless you need to manualy edit a bunch of config files to match , like conky in my case
[04:14] <mwilson_> is that automated?
[04:15] <Ashnal> tripitakit: so "sudo ifdown wlan0"
[04:15] <c0mp13371331337> CardiacKid: Ah, headless....  That COULD be the problem.  X is expecting to auto-detect the type of monitor and give specific resolutions based on that, and when it fails to see the monitor, it defaults to a low resolution for accessibility.
[04:15] <tripitakit> Ashnal, should take wlan0 down
[04:15] <CardiacKid> kgod: thanks for your help. I trust you are on the right track. maybe I'll deal with the 800x600 for now and look into the problem on my own a bit.
[04:15] <Ashnal> tripitakit: if i did that would the usb adapter become wlan0?
[04:15] <bullgard4> kgod: To put here in IRC two question marks is simply uneducated. It does not help in any way except for polluting.
[04:15] <xorlim> should I remove my bluetooth packages installed in ibex, because I do not need them currently?
[04:15] <kgod> roukoun: /etc/sysconfig is a RH feature IIRC.  You mean /etc/network/interfaces?
[04:15] <toastedmilk> Can anyone tell me how to save an encode file in terminal on 8.04?
[04:15] <werdnus> Hmmm... What's the best practice for having an encrypted drive?
[04:16] <tripitakit> Ashlan , not sure but u check pluggin it in
[04:16] <werdnus> Entering a passphrase on-boot seems like a hassle - it'd be nice if my disk was decrypted whenever I logged-in.
[04:16] <werdnus> or something like that.
[04:16] <kgod> bullgard4: Shorthand for I don't understand.
[04:16] <ldiamond> Pe1o, but if it randomly changes like that, its kind of an annoyance.
[04:16] <roukoun> kgod : yes... you are right! i meant the /etc/network/interfaces
[04:16] <toastedmilk> Can anyone tell me how to save an encode file in terminal on 8.04?
[04:16] <CardiacKid> comp133713311337: I thoguht the same but can not figure out how to fix.
[04:16] <ldiamond> Can anyone explain to me why my eth0 is now eth1?
[04:16] <mwilson_> well, so far I'm liking 8.10.  Few quirks...  but nice.
[04:17] <cowbellemoo> Pelo, maybe try https://launchpad.net/dusttheme/0.2/0.2   (/shrug)
[04:17] <Pe1o> ldiamond, I think I heard someone mentionn something similar when going from wifi to cabled and back
[04:17] <bullgard4> kgod: I see but you did not tell me what you did not understand.
[04:17] <mwilson_> toastedmilk what do you mean by encoded?
[04:17] <werdnus> !crypt | werdnus
[04:17] <tripitakit> ldiamond, u did somethng?
[04:17] <toastedmilk> I used the command
[04:17] <toastedmilk> ...
[04:17] <Ashnal> tripitakit: if i did that would the usb adapter become wlan0?
[04:17] <Pe1o> cowbellemoo, I was mostly looking for someone to tell me I wasn't the only one with this issue
[04:17] <alesan> mwilson_: I switched from kubuntu to ubuntu 8.10; the KDE4 thing is HORRIBLE
[04:17] <tripitakit> Ashlan
[04:17] <rww> mwilson_: me too :). Much better compatibility with my (new) hardware, and the f/oss replacements for flash and fglrx are getting to the point where I can disable the restricted/multiverse repos :D
[04:17] <FAJ> !truecrypt | werdnus
[04:18] <toastedmilk> I used the command "vim encode" after moving to "cd /bin" to build a script
[04:18] <bender1337> hi when i try to play d2 on ubuntu i get out of range H: 81.3 khz and v: 65.0hz
[04:18] <rww> alesan: I tried using KDE4 recently. It and I don't get along well :(
[04:18] <cowbellemoo> Pelo, ah.  Carry on.
[04:18]  * Pe1o goes to icanhascheezburger.com to cheer himself up
[04:18] <alesan> rww: I've always been a KDE advocate, since release 0.9x
[04:18] <alesan> but KDE4 is really the WINDOWS VISTA of the linux world
[04:18] <mwilson_> I like K to Gnome...   but kde4 needs updating big.  qt4.5 will give it a huge performance boost.
[04:19] <ldiamond> tripitakit I used wired on a router, then turned on wifi, then shut down the computer, plugged it on another router (wired) and started it.
[04:19] <tripitakit> Ashnal, u just have to try pluggin the usb in after ifdown wlan0,
[04:19] <mwilson_> what are the biggest improvements/features of ubunto 8.10?
[04:19] <alesan> mwilson_: yeah I am not saying it has no future but NOW it is really a mess
[04:19] <alesan> it is not for a production environment
[04:19] <werdnus> FAJ: That looks a bit hardcore for me.
[04:19] <tripitakit> ldiamond, changed router...
[04:19] <rww> alesan: I used KDE for years, before switching to Gnome for reasons I can't actually remember. KDE4 isn't really an improvement over the KDE I remember, though I may be looking back with rose-tinted spectacles.
[04:19] <Ashnal> tripitakit: and if that does not work and i need to re-enable my built in card, how would i do that?
[04:19] <FAJ> werdnus:  it works ;)
[04:19] <toastedmilk> I used the command "vim encode" after moving to "cd /bin" to build a script and now I don't know how to save it.  Any help?
[04:19] <bender1337> hi when i try to play d2 on ubuntu i get out of range H: 81.3 khz and v: 65.0hz
[04:19] <werdnus> FAJ: It's not that I need to hide the volume. I just want a little bit of extra privacy, without a lot of extra hassle.
[04:19] <Pe1o> mwilson_, nothing much that I've notices, most of the stuff is incremental , doesn't need to be flashy
[04:20] <ldiamond> tripitakit I connected to a different router yes.
[04:20] <tripitakit> Ashnal, i think ifup wlan0 should work
[04:20] <alesan> rww: KDE4 is going back years in usability and features, hardly an improvement
[04:20] <FAJ> werdnus:  there is the ability to do this in 8.10 .... like a private encrypted drive..
[04:20] <FAJ> or folder even
[04:20] <Ashnal> tripitakit: okay well ill have to disappear from the channel then
[04:20] <werdnus> I'm okay with logging into my account with a password, but a massive passphrase on-boot is a bit annoying.
[04:20] <tripitakit> ldiamond, with a second configuration
[04:20] <xorlim> how do I see what network interfaces I have running?
[04:20] <toastedmilk> Does anyone know how to save a vim encode file from terminal in 8.04?
[04:20] <Pe1o> I tried to edit crontab and it asked me to select a text editor , now I'm stuck in vi , anyone know how to change that ?
[04:20] <alesan> FAJ: how?
[04:20] <mwilson_> I'll dig into it a bit.
[04:20] <kgod> bullgard4: Your previous statment prior to ??. Which is clearly too much for you to grok.  Forget it.
[04:20] <CardiacKid> kgod: thankd again. at least I won't sound as n0bish when I ack questions next time.
[04:20] <kgod> CardiacKid: NP.
[04:20] <alesan> I've heard of this encrypted thing in 8.10 but... how to use that?
[04:20] <tripitakit> ldiamond, i mean u have 2 configs for wired connections?
[04:21] <kgod> CardiacKid: Sorry, haven't played w/ vnc for a while
[04:21] <Pe1o> toastedmilk, have you tried the ever common ctrl_s ?
[04:21] <ldiamond> tripitakit 2 configs?
[04:21] <rww> alesan: do you happen to know if kde3 is still in the 8.10 repos? I installed kubuntu-desktop a few days ago, but it installed kde4 :(
[04:21] <toastedmilk> Pelo, indeed I have.  No luck.
[04:21] <rww> alesan: and if not, is there a PPA or something?
[04:21] <kgod> rww: PPA?
[04:21] <FAJ> alesan: werdnus http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/09/23/encrypted-private-directory-in-ubuntu-810/
[04:21] <xorlim> does ifconfig show all the network interfaces I have currently in use, running?
[04:21] <mwilson_> rww if you have a windows system, they have a complete QT/Creator/MinGW at trolltech.com.  Look for the qtCreator test packages.  The windows one is all inclusive
[04:22] <tripitakit> ldiamond, sorry making confusion with saving differnet network setups
[04:22] <werdnus> FAJ: thanks
[04:22] <Pe1o> xorlim, suppose to

[04:22] <toastedmilk> Does anyone know how to save a "vim encode" file from terminal in 8.04?
[04:22] <rww> mwilson_: I don't use Windows, sorry. 100% f/oss here :)
[04:22] <OddlotX4> Alright.  Question for VLC in Ibex, Radeon 2600XT.  The .avi output is flickering,  any one else have this problem?
[04:22] <raDeon> how do i fix Unknown id: apt-get when i use "su" instead of "sudo"
[04:22] <kgod> toastedmilk: WTF is a "vim encode" file?
[04:22] <ldiamond> tripitakit Isnt it supposed to simply connect to whatever router I plug it in without problems?
[04:22] <tripitakit> ldiamond, i think if u reboot it ill come back to eth0
[04:22] <kgod> toastedmilk: "<esc>:wq" saves and quits from vim
[04:22] <werdnus> FAJ: that's what I was after
[04:23] <rww> raDeon: what exactly are you typing at the command line?
[04:23] <toastedmilk> kgod: wq?
[04:23] <tripitakit> ldiamond, dhcp?
[04:23] <alesan> rww: no it is not in the repos, that is the problem... even if I've heard a guy is running some repos with KDE3.5 stuff for 8.10
[04:23] <FAJ> werdnus:  i knew i saw it somewhere
[04:23] <ldiamond> tripitakit yes
[04:23] <bullgard4> kgod: Impertinent statement.
[04:23] <tripitakit> ldiamond, yes it will
[04:23] <ldiamond> tripitakit I just booted and it turned to eth1
[04:23] <kgod> toastedmilk: :wq is "write-quit" in vim.
[04:23] <raDeon> rww: "su apt-get update"
[04:23] <go_beep_yourself> anybody like or dislike the DarkRoom theme that's new in Ubuntu 8.10?
[04:23] <tripitakit> ldiamond, duno why i was thik about static ip
[04:23] <raDeon> it does the same thing any time i use "su" in place of "sudo"
[04:23] <rww> raDeon: try su -c "apt-get update"
[04:23] <OddlotX4> The problem also persists in diffrent video players, and diffrent video output modes.
[04:23] <mwilson_> that's good too, better in my opinion rww.  I'm compiling the new 4.5 now.
[04:24] <kgod> bullgard4: You've mistaken me for someone who cares.  Drop it.
[04:24] <ldiamond> tripitakit oh well, ill see what happens next time
[04:24] <raDeon> rww: su: Authentication failure
[04:24] <raDeon> even with the right password

[04:24] <tripitakit> ldiamond, sorry have no other ideas right now
[04:24] <Anza> I have firefox 3.0.3 installed, which I thought was the last version, why it asks me to upgrade my web browser whenever I try to get to my hotmail account?
[04:24] <rww> raDeon: do you have the root account enabled?
[04:24] <kgod> raDeon: su to root or su to user?
[04:24] <toastedmilk> kgod: "encode" E212: Can't open file for writing
[04:24] <raDeon> i used to always use su
[04:24] <ldiamond> Can anyone tell me how to make my laptop resume from Suspend mode? The screen always stays black...
[04:24] <raDeon> sudo is too much to type
[04:24] <kgod> toastedmilk: What command are you issuing?
[04:24] <raDeon> and i dont know if i have root account enabled
[04:24] <rww> raDeon: I note that "sudo" is shorter than "su -c"
[04:24] <OddlotX4> Alright.  Question for VLC in Ibex, Radeon 2600XT.  The .avi output is flickering,  any one else have this problem?  The problem also persists in multiple video output modes, and in diffrent video players.
[04:25] <rww> raDeon: it's not enabled by default, so you probably don't.
[04:25] <raDeon> i always did "su command" in the past
[04:25] <toastedmilk> kgod:  :wq after i hit esc to exit edit mode
[04:25] <kgod> toastedmilk: And what is "encode"?  A command?  A filename?  Where are you attempting to do this (in what directory)?
[04:25] <raDeon> now i do "sudo command"
[04:25] <tripitakit> raDeon, default ubuntu hase no root account enabled
[04:25] <toastedmilk> kgod: I believe it's a filename
[04:25] <raDeon> this is a fresh install of 8.10 and it's like that
[04:25] <rww> raDeon: considering that "su command" has never been valid syntax, I don't think you did =/
[04:25] <tripitakit> !sudo
[04:25] <toastedmilk> kgod:  I'm trying to convert FLAC files to mp3's with a script off of a ubuntu forum
[04:25] <raDeon> you're calling me a liar
[04:25] <raDeon> that's how i always used it "su command"
[04:26] <kgod> toastedmilk: Maybe you could back up and tell me how you got here?...  What are you trying to do and why are you editing a file with vim if you don't know how to use the editor?
[04:26] <alesan> FAJ: that document refers to a 8.10 beta; is it still valid? and how to change the name "Private" to something more meaningful?
[04:26] <kgod> raDeon: Ubuntu disables root by default.  There is no root account.
[04:26] <tripitakit> raDeon, normally u do a su then u are root@host#
[04:26] <runemaste> Hey all, ive been trying to boot 8.10 stable server CD and all i get is ata3: srst failed (errno=-16)
[04:26] <rww> raDeon: if you're concerned about the length of "sudo", try putting something like "alias s = 'sudo'" in your .bashrc
[04:26] <kgod> raDeon: .... or rather, it's not interactively enabled by default.  Use sudo instead.
[04:26] <runemaste> then I/O errors
[04:26] <alesan> FAJ: the ideal thing would be to have an entirely encrypted home
[04:26] <rww> raDeon: and yes, since I have man su on my side, I'm saying "su command" doesn't work.
[04:26] <tripitakit> raDeon, it's not a good idea but sudo -i do the same
[04:26] <toastedmilk> kgod:  sudo aptitude install flac, then cd /bin, then vim encode, then a script(want that?), and now here
[04:26] <kgod> runemaste: Disk failure or bad controller, I suspect.  Google that.
[04:27] <raDeon> alright thanks everybody
[04:27] <runemaste> and it seems after about 10 minutes it works
[04:27] <runemaste> kgod, but it worked in 8.04 a few minutes ago
[04:27] <kgod> toastedmilk: OK.  You're probably trying to edit a root-owned file as a non-root user?
[04:27] <kgod> toastedmilk: 'sudo vim /etc/encode' instead.
[04:27] <OddlotX4> Sorry for repeating myself, but I would like some help, and I know this channel gets a bit flooded at times.  Question for VLC in Ibex, Radeon 2600XT.  The .avi output is flickering,  any one else have this problem?  The problem also persists in multiple video output modes, and in diffrent video players.
[04:27] <toastedmilk> kgod: doh.
[04:27] <tripitakit> kgod, sudo nano ;-)
[04:27] <kgod> runemaste: Which is why I suggest you google that error message.
[04:27] <kgod> tripitakit: ;)
[04:28] <FSCK_FSCK_FSCK> sudo vim more like

[04:28] <FAJ> alesan:  yes, google google google ;)
[04:28] <tripitakit> kgod, then prepared to answer "how i exit for here"
[04:28] <runemaste> kgod, it seems alot of people have the same problem
[04:28] <kgod> tripitakit: Reminds me of back in the day when Debian shipped with 'ae' as the standard editor for one simple reason.
[04:28] <kgod> tripitakit: It was neither emacs nor vi
[04:29] <tripitakit> kgod, :D
[04:29] <mas> dertyu
[04:29] <mas> =]\\\uiu
[04:29] <kgod> tripitakit: Already had to talk someone out of how to save a file in nano. Despite the command menu....
[04:29] <tripitakit> kgod, lol
[04:29] <kgod> runemaste: Yeah, noobs eventually get the hang of file perms and users.
