[10:53] <nando> alraune: cd /media/cdrom1
[10:53] <DistroJockey> !ccsm | Flums
[10:53] <alraune> nando: does it change to there ?
[10:53] <Flums> yeye, done that
[10:53] <tavi> heyyyyyy
[10:53] <nando> alraune: yes
[10:53] <Flums> DistroJockey: Mine is locked to 1, but i have 2 now, want 6
[10:54] <gvk> kinnu: Press Ctrl+h in nautilus.
[10:54] <alraune> what is the xact error you get when inserting a cd ?
[10:54] <DistroJockey> Flums, you try and change but it switches back?
[10:54] <alraune> exact
[10:54] <gvk> kinnu: Or go there from the terminal with the cd command.
[10:54] <Flums> nevermind, now i got it
[10:54] <kinnu> ya but it doesnt show it :(
[10:54] <prince_jammys> AdvoWork: 9 am, 9:20am, 12 and 12:20pm i think
[10:54] <berent> berent
[10:54] <zatoino> Rohs: With the last version, my sound would crap out, and I'd have to reboot to get the sound back.  I don't get the problem with the latest version.
[10:54] <Flums> DistroJockey: saw i needed to expand hor/ver
[10:55] <nando> alraune:  its not when inserting its when trying to acess it or mount the drive... it says "unable to mount loacation" and then it says "cant mount file"
[10:56] <gvk> kinnu: open a terminal and type nautilus ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts
[10:56] <kinnu> bah
[10:56] <natalisushka> hello guys, question: What is the reason why some apps hang for a long time while before they worked fine? I am trying to open Eclipse, yesterday it opened, although it takes some time loading, but today it's not opening at all, although i restarted many times!
[10:56] <kinnu> im not root
[10:57] <gvk> kinnu: Type sudo nautilus ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts
[10:57] <kinnu> k
[10:57] <gvk> And enter password
[10:57] <Hondo_Kitsune> I'm having a problem with Xnest. I can't log on
[10:57] <unop> gvk, that's not a good thing to recommend
[10:57] <Hondo_Kitsune> Also, since i switched to GDM my log out, shutdown and restart buttons all broke too
[10:57] <prince_jammys> !gksudo
[10:57] <zatoino> natalisushka: Do you have any apps that open automatically when you boot up?
[10:57] <alraune> nando: there is something strange in your fstab,  saying /boot  having filesystem none  - just another prob (same ?)
[10:58] <rodiel> hi, how can i skip the md5sum check in adobe flash player install?
[10:58] <unggnu> hi all
[10:58] <rodiel> its not working
[10:58] <natalisushka> zatoino, yes, and the same apps used to open simultaneously before and eclipse worked!
[10:58] <unop> gvk, nautilus running as root will take ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts to /root/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts
[10:58] <kinnu> gvk: still doesnt work
[10:58] <unggnu> Is the directory ~/Desktop localized or is it always the same name?
[10:58] <alraune> nando: try : mount /dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0
[10:58] <genius> DistroJockey: this list sucks
[10:58] <nando> alraune: im running on wubi but ive used a previous wubi install and it worked fine
[10:58] <gvk> kinnu: use gksudo nautilus /home/[username]/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts
[10:58] <alraune> nando: uhmm , wubi
[10:59] <alraune> nando: try : mount /dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0
[10:59] <unop> gvk, why are you suggesting he do that?  he doesn;t need to if he is accessing his own directories
[10:59] <Dazed> ubuntu does some dumb shit
[10:59] <babo> Dazed: why
[10:59] <Dazed> im looking at workspace 1, click firefox, and it opens in workspace 2
[10:59] <babo> ?
[10:59] <Dazed> how NICE
[10:59] <natalisushka> zatoino, and those apps aren't really heavy! I tried turning off graphical effects but still the same
[10:59] <gvk> why don't you shut up?
[10:59] <DistroJockey> genius, sorry to hear that
[10:59] <alraune> nando: try : mount /dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0             ,result ?
[11:00] <unggnu> Any French speaking here? Is the Desktop directory named ~/Desktop too?
[11:00] <unop> gvk, why don't you justify yourself?
[11:00] <sajuuk> hey guys how do i get metacity to replace compiz on startup?
[11:00] <alraune> !fr
[11:00] <prince_jammys> unop: because when something doesn't work, you try it with sudo ;)
[11:00] <unggnu> sajuuk: disable desktop effects
[11:00] <babo> Dazed: I don't think that's the attitude you want to take if you expect to get assistance on #ubuntu
[11:00] <nando> alraune: mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
[11:00] <nando> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[11:00] <Dazed> i dont
[11:00] <zatoino> natalisushka: Some process might get hung once you open Eclipse.  Do you find that Eclipse opens fine after you boot up and wait a few minutes?
[11:00] <Dazed> i just woke up and am cranky
[11:00] <unggnu> prince_jammys: sudo wine :-D
[11:00] <Dazed> sorry
[11:00] <Dazed> wanted to bitch
[11:01] <natalisushka> zatoino, I did restart and open it immediately
[11:01] <nando> alraune: BTW ive played a music cd in songbird and burned a CD too...
[11:01] <alraune> nando: k, so basically its working
[11:01] <sajuuk> unggnu: where can i do that?
[11:01] <xnv> Dazed: Doesn't happen to me, but it could be because you last closed Firefox on workstation 2 and Gnome remembers and tries to guess you'll want it there again
[11:01] <natalisushka> and I've been waiting for 10 minutes now and it didn't open
[11:01] <unggnu> sajuuk: Preferences - Appearance - Desktop effects
[11:01] <jmd> When do packages from intrepid migrate to hardy?
[11:01] <unggnu> jmd: never
[11:02] <unggnu> jmd: you migrate to Hardy if the time is ready
[11:02] <natalisushka> zatoino, can't there be something like freeing memory or smth that can make it easier?
[11:02] <nando> alraune: no its not
[11:02] <alraune> nando: i don't know if we mounted dvd or cd , but one of them you should be able to use now, have a cd handy ?
[11:02] <nando> alraune: yeah
[11:02] <DistroJockey> natalisushka, did your   /etc/hosts   file change?
[11:02] <nando> alraune: like a CD-R?
[11:02] <kinnu> now what the heck
[11:02] <alraune> nando: try : mount /dev/scd1       /media/cdrom1
[11:02] <kinnu> cant find the directory
[11:02] <jmd> So what happens if the old package needs to be updated?
[11:02] <xnv> Dazed: And in any case, you shouldn't lay any problem in Linux at the feet of "Ubuntu". It's the distro, not everything inside of it.
[11:02] <sajuuk> ok thx unggnu
[11:03] <zatoino> natalisushka:  Try not opening it immediately after you boot. Try and wait a few minutes.  I have the same problem with Outlook.
[11:03] <alraune> nando: written cd handy ?
[11:03]  * Dazed shakes his fist angrily at the sky.
[11:03] <nando> alraune: says no media found
[11:03] <natalisushka> DistroJockey, How do I know if it changed? and what do you mean by that? What can happen if it changed?
[11:03] <nando> alraune: yeah i got one inside
[11:03] <Peppery> Hi, I want to set up a VPN server on my Ubuntu server machine but can't seem to find any good tutorials on how to do so. It has to be L2TP, PPTP or IPSec (whichever is most secure, if possible). OpenVPN isn't an option as the devices I wish to use it on do not support it.
[11:03] <Dazed> Damn you gods of linux!
[11:03] <kinnu> ffs
[11:03] <alraune> nando: written cd handy ? put a written cd in both drives
[11:03] <natalisushka> zatoino, Outlook? Are you using windows?
[11:03] <xnv> Dazed: The only thing you can blame Ubuntu for is using Gnome and you can't complain much since there's always Kubuntu
[11:03] <sajuuk> dazed: maybe you run KDE?  I would but KDE doesn't see my memory sticks
[11:04] <nando> alraune: done...
[11:04] <DistroJockey> natalisushka, date stamp will tell you. Bad  /etc/hosts  file can cause long startup delays for some programs
[11:04] <Dazed> i know nothing about kde
[11:04] <sajuuk> nor does it see my german keyboard...
[11:04] <nando> alraune: something pops up displaying my files on the 2nd drive
[11:04] <Dazed> would it give me more love than gnome does?
[11:04] <natalisushka> DistroJockey, actually my system hangs for a long time while booting. I don't know why! How can I fix that?
[11:04] <nando> alraune: so its like the second drive is working for me
[11:04] <alraune> nando:  mount /dev/scd1       /media/cdrom1
[11:04] <prince_jammys> Dazed: give it a whirl
[11:04] <genius> How to determine if my kernel is compiled with AES cryptography? I have just dowanloaded hardy server
[11:04] <sajuuk> the background customisation is really sweet
[11:04] <xnv> Dazed: Don't know. I prefer Gnome.
[11:04] <alraune> nando:  mount /dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0
[11:05] <Dazed> kde is a WM right?
[11:05] <prince_jammys> Dazed: DM
[11:05] <sajuuk> i got 4 backgrounds of evangelion's Asuka plastered on them
[11:05] <alraune> nando: cd       /media/cdrom1
[11:05] <zatoino> natalisushka: Lol. My PC in the office is running windows.
[11:05] <DistroJockey> natalisushka, depends on the messages you get from   dmesg
[11:05] <prince_jammys> Dazed: or DE if you like
[11:05] <alraune> nando: cd       ls                                ,see your files?
[11:05] <Dazed> do you think 6am is too early to start drinking?
[11:05] <alraune> nando: cd       ls               | l ="L"
[11:05] <xnv> Dazed: Coffee? No.
[11:06] <roachmmflhyr> Dazed, nope
[11:06] <natalisushka> DistroJockey, can you please explain? I am not familar with dmesg
[11:06] <Dazed> coffee with rum in it maybe
[11:06] <alraune> !dmesg
[11:06] <natalisushka> DistroJockey, I used it in termial and got a big list of I don't know what!
[11:06] <alraune> nando: ?
[11:06] <DistroJockey> natalisushka, look for EE in  dmesg (run from terminal)
[11:06] <nando> alraune: im a little lost
[11:06] <nando> alraune: hehe
[11:06] <roachmmflhyr> natalisushka, try dmesg | more
[11:07] <nando> alraune: basicly one cdrom drive is mounted and working... its the second one
[11:07] <prince_jammys> roachmmflhyr: you anti-GNU, you.
[11:07] <alraune> nando:        ls                                ,see your files?
[11:07] <natalisushka> DistroJockey, What is EE?
[11:07] <nando> yeah
[11:07] <roachmmflhyr> prince_jammys, haha sometimes
[11:07] <nando> alraune: yeah for cd 2
[11:07] <DistroJockey> natalisushka, EE = error
[11:07] <alraune> nando:  sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[11:07] <genius> forum is down! :((
[11:07] <natalisushka> will dmesg | grep EE work?
[11:08] <Hondo_Kitsune> I'm having a problem with Xnest. I can't log on
[11:08] <DistroJockey> natalisushka, probably :)
[11:08] <roachmmflhyr> natalisushka, yes
[11:08] <Dazed> does someone have a nice link to themes for e16? I looked through the ones on freshmeat but there wasnt very many good ones.
[11:08] <perfector> !build-essentials
[11:08] <alraune> nando:  fstab open ?
[11:08] <Dazed> !enlightenment
[11:08] <natalisushka> DistroJockey, I did it, doesn't seem to have found EE: "[    0.000000] ACPI: DSDT 3BEAC408, 3AEE (r1 TOSINV    SB450  6040000 MSFT  100000E)"
[11:08] <perfector> !packages
[11:08] <prince_jammys> Dazed: that one's pretty cool also.
[11:08] <TABASCO> Hi
[11:08] <nando> alraune: okay hold on
[11:09] <natalisushka> DistroJockey, I mean that's the only line I get with dmesg | grep EE
[11:09] <Broad1> is there a way to backup my current version of ubuntu with selected additional programs onto a disc image that will automatically install the OS?
[11:09] <TABASCO> I'm looking for the responsible person for the Ubuntu channels on Freenode
[11:09] <Dazed> i thought it was really cool
[11:09] <Dazed> a little hard to get around in i thought tho
[11:09] <prince_jammys> TABASCO: #ubuntu-ops
[11:09] <natalisushka> DistroJockey, However, using "dmesg | grep error" shows : "[   26.104332] ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... error, file /DSDT.aml not found."
[11:09] <nando> alraune: okay
[11:09] <TABASCO> Ok
[11:09] <Dazed> compared to gnome
[11:10] <rocko> i can't unpackage this http://paste.ubuntu.com/37091/
[11:10] <roachmmflhyr> natalisushka, try dmesg > dmesg.txt & gedit dmesg.txt
[11:10] <nando> alraune: its open
[11:10] <DistroJockey> natalisushka, you can also check the timestamp beside the messages to see when stuff happens
[11:10] <roachmmflhyr> natalisushka, then you can use the find option for EE

[11:11] <natalisushka> roachmmflhyr, will it be EE with spaces in both sides?
[11:11] <natalisushka> roachmmflhyr, I mean like " EE " not "EE"

[11:11] <natalisushka> roachmmflhyr, if so, I don't have any EE in that file

[11:12] <nando> alraune: whats the change?
[11:12] <roachmmflhyr> natalisushka, what problem are you trying to resolve?
[11:12] <skeeel> hello i know this is not the channel for asking this kind of question , but this is about free software so not that off topic :)
[11:12] <kaushal> anybody here can help me with http://rafb.net/p/X3YQed58.html
[11:12] <mehumott> I've install ubuntu 8.04 yesterday. It played sound only from notebook's laudspeaker, not from headphones. I had alsa etc. I install that respositories :  libbio2jack0 alsaplayer-jack linux-backports-modules, after reboot on laudspeaker icon (next clock) it appear red circle, and when i click on it it shows me : No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. When i type "alsamixer" in console, it shows: alsamixer: functi
[11:13] <rocko> i can't unpackage this http://paste.ubuntu.com/37091/
[11:13] <skeeel> we need to translate some documentation , do you know any soft (free as speech) that allow us to do it online in collaborative way
[11:13] <natalisushka> roachmmflhyr, At first I posted a problem of hanging apps, like Eclipse, which worked yesterday, and although I didn't install anything, today it hangs forever!
[11:13] <alraune> nando:    behind iso9660
[11:13] <alraune> nando:    ey...
[11:13] <natalisushka> roachmmflhyr, So I was asking what can cause an app to suddenly start hanging and not opening .. I mean when you click on the Icon and the logo is loading, it hangs there
[11:14] <natalisushka> roachmmflhyr, I also noticed that ever since I installed ubuntu on this machine, it hangs a lot during boot!
[11:14] <alraune> nando:   add a blank line hitting enter to the end of fstab
[11:14] <guntbert> DistroJockey: iirc EE is typically in xorg.log but not in the output of dmesg
[11:14] <skeeel> natalisushka, try the command "strace eclipse" that maybe shows you where eclips hang out , but not sure because it is java
[11:14] <alraune> nando:   save fstab and close gedit
[11:15] <DistroJockey> guntbert, you are probably right :)
[11:15] <nando> alraune: im still behind
[11:15] <roachmmflhyr> natalisushka, what does /var/log/syslog say after you open Eclipse
[11:15] <jmd> skeeel, I don't see that managing translation would be very different from management of code, so any SCM tool would help.
[11:15] <tom0004> has the random lockup problem, found with hardy been addressed yet ?
[11:15] <nando> alraune: what exactly do i gotta change?
[11:15] <SitUbuntuSit> How can I change directories using samba from the command line? I get: smb: \> cd My Music/
[11:15] <SitUbuntuSit> cd \My\: NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND
[11:15] <skeeel> jmd : SCM ?
[11:15] <nando> alraune: here is what i have  "/dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0"
[11:15] <alraune> nando:  the line /dev/scd0... to :    /dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,rw,utf8 0       0
[11:15] <SitUbuntuSit> Pardon me for the broken line as well.
[11:15] <natalisushka> roachmmflhyr, one minute
[11:15] <jmd> skeeel, Software Configuration Management
[11:15] <alraune> nando:   see the differ ?
[11:16] <prince_jammys> SitUbuntuSit: cd "My Music"  in quotes
[11:16] <starcannon> Anyone know if the ubuntu forums are down?
[11:16] <nando> alraune: so just rewright it with what you sent me...
[11:16] <skeeel> jmd : thanks i look after that
[11:16] <natalisushka> skeeel, I do'nt have strace
[11:16] <alraune> nando:  yup
[11:16] <Jonex> Is there some quick and easy way to install ubuntu on an USB stick?

[11:16] <prince_jammys> SitUbuntuSit: it's the space in your filename

[11:16] <SitUbuntuSit> prince_jammys, worked like a charm :)
[11:17] <Jonex> Oh, common question I guess, sorry :)
[11:17] <alraune> nando:  both lines, ended with a blank line, saved ??
[11:17] <nando> alraune: what?

[11:19] <alraune> nando:  both lines, ended with a blank line, saved ??

[11:30] <jmd> Igramul, Could I ask you a question about that?
[11:30] <Richlv> roachmmflhyr, thanks
[11:30] <Igramul> dn4: Use this shell expression to form the file name
[11:32] <dn4> bash: testingWed: command not found
[11:32] <Davidroderick> does anybody have experience using HSPA modem with ubuntu?
[11:32] <rocko> i can't unpackage this http://paste.ubuntu.com/37091/
[11:33] <Igramul> dn4: mv someFile name$(date +%y%m%d)
[11:34] <skaczacy> hmm help someone?
[11:35] <wols_> !ask | skaczacy
[11:35] <wols_> skaczacy: can you paste the full log?
[11:35] <dn4> Igramul: why is the file's alias name080813 instead of the file's original name?
[11:35] <DRLD> hi... just wondering if anyone has a similar problem... when i scroll in firefox, the words get jumbled and i can't read anything. how do i fix this?
[11:36] <pen_> whois pen
[11:36] <DRLD> it's not just firefox
[11:36] <skaczacy> wols_:  as I like to say yes
[11:36] <DRLD> it happens in plenty of apps... even this one
[11:36] <wols_> DRLD: what video driver?
[11:36] <RainCT> rocko: seems like one of the package's maintainer script is broken. Try creating an user called 'nx' yourself
[11:36] <DRLD> wols_: nvidia
[11:37] <Igramul> dn4: It's because bash replaces  name$(date +%y%m%d) with name080813
[11:37] <wols_> DRLD: version?
[11:37] <DistroJockey> dn4, 080813 = today's date where I am
[11:37] <Dazed> man it would suck if your last name was cockburn
[11:37] <Dazed> how do those people survive high school
[11:37] <rocko> RainCT: user in nxserver or on ubuntu?
[11:37] <RainCT> Davidroderick: I have one, what's the problem?
[11:37] <DRLD> wols_: 169.12
[11:38] <dn4> How does one get to keep the original name of the file?
[11:38] <RainCT> rocko: Ubuntu (but a system user, no need for home dir and such)
[11:38] <pen> I'm using HP laptop. Everytime I plug my earphone line in before boot, if I play some music the front would also play too
[11:38] <tommo> join #ubuntu-uk
[11:38] <wols_> DRLD: try nv to check if it'S the driver
[11:38] <skaczacy> wols_: About what you log terms
[11:38] <skaczacy> ?
[11:38] <wols_> skaczacy: english please
[11:39] <javier> #sumisos
[11:39] <rocko> RainCT: so just sudo adduser NX ?
[11:39] <wols_> rocko: why "NX"?
[11:39] <Igramul> dn4: Shell scripting, e.g.: for i in *.txt; do mv $i $(date +%y+m+d)$i; done
[11:39] <Igramul> dn4: This prefixes all .txt-files with the current date
[11:39] <skaczacy> wols_:  my english is not good :(
[11:39] <DRLD> wols_: nv?
[11:39] <rocko> RainCT: ok, so just sudo adduser nx ??
[11:39] <wols_> skaczacy: then try again
[11:40] <RainCT> rocko: look at the messages you posted - it says 'nx' there
[11:40] <linjo> Hi!
[11:40] <wols_> !pl | skaczacy or ask in that channel
[11:40] <rocko> ok sorry
[11:40] <linjo> Does anyone run ubuntu on xps m1330 ?
[11:40] <RainCT> rocko: sudo adduser --system nx
[11:40] <wols_> DRLD: nv is the open source nvidia drievr. as opposed to the proprietary one you are using right now
[11:40] <wols_> !anyone | linjo
[11:41] <dn4> Does anyone here play Warcraft III Frozen Throne?
[11:41] <DRLD> wols_: ah i c. does it have 3d support?
[11:41] <wols_> dn4: never ever ask "anyone" questions
[11:41] <skaczacy> #ubuntu-pl can not help me
[11:41] <Igramul> !ot | dn4
[11:41] <skaczacy> :(
[11:41]  * dn4 must go now
[11:41] <wols_> DRLD: no. but you still want to use it to do bug testing
[11:41] <Dazed> Can i make ubuntu recognize my mousr4 and mouse5 buttons? They don't do anything anymore..
[11:41] <wols_> !mousebutton
[11:42] <Dazed> they used to make firefox go back and forward
[11:42] <linjo> So anyone use ubuntu on xps m1330 ?
[11:42] <wols_> !buttons
[11:42] <Dazed> thanks
[11:42] <skaczacy> wols_: #ubuntu-pl can not help me
[11:42] <DRLD> wols_: i assume that if i turn off the proprietary nvidia driver it will automatically use nv?
[11:43] <rocko> RainCT: Ok, i have created, the user is that all i have to do?
[11:43] <wols_> DRLD: not unless you uninstall it IIRC. is "nvidia" in your xorg.conf? if yes, change that to "nv"
[11:43] <RainCT> rocko: from what I can see, yes
[11:43] <rocko> thanks alot !
[11:44] <Hondo_Kitsune> I'm having a problem with Xnest. I can't log on
[11:44] <tonisius> ugh, how do I get consistent grub loading of multiple OSs, I bring in lots of hard drives and work on them weekly, but it always jumbles up my grub list.  I'm always setting up the entries at grub to load from root (hd0,1) or similar,
[11:44] <DRLD> wols_: done... what do i do to reset x?
[11:44] <wols_> restart X
[11:45] <Hondo_Kitsune> DRLD: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
[11:45] <tonisius> but the big problem I'm having is that I'm always having to deal with the root (hd#,#) never being consistent, any suggestions?
[11:45] <wols_> tonisius: no way if you constantly move disks around
[11:45] <Dazed> wols: it says on that link Open /etc/X11/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 for editing. Within the InputDevice section for your Configured Mouse, change Option "Buttons" "5" to Option "Buttons" "7"
[11:45] <Dazed> wols: my file doesnt have that setting in it tho
[11:45] <KingdomOFish> is .Xmodmap automagically loaded one startup in ubuntu gnome?
[11:45] <wols_> Dazed: but you can add it
[11:45] <Dazed> ok cool
[11:45] <tonisius> I keep seeing UUID's being used, and was wondering how to use the options in menu.lst
[11:46] <RainCT> rocko: you're welcome :). Does it work now?
[11:46] <tonisius> wols_: how come if windows I set the boot order to it, it always loads up fine, why can't it be similar with the grub?
[11:46] <guest1218622635> jan ist der killer
[11:46] <DRLD> i hit ctrl-alt-backspace but nothing happened
[11:46] <DRLD> heh
[11:46] <guest1218622635> lalal
[11:46] <guest1218622635> a
[11:46] <guest1218622635> was geht aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaab
[11:46] <wols_> tonisius: XP bootloader at least uses BIOS drives ordering just like grub. exactly the same
[11:46] <rocko> RainCT: have to wait and see !
[11:46] <Igramul> !de | guest1218622635
[11:47] <tonisius> DRLD: use a command shell, and change your init states
[11:47] <guest1218622635> the best thing i have is my dik
[11:47] <RainCT> jpds: ^
[11:47] <guest1218622635> ihgbgvbhnjkmlfceaw
[11:47] <Dazed> now its saying i dont have the permissions to save the file
[11:47] <tonisius> wols_: I see..
[11:47] <tonisius> wols_: well, I'll see how I can keep grub to do the same
[11:47] <gchaos_> hello
[11:48] <Igramul> . o O ( guest1218622635 - how can someone be that drunk at 12.48 pm)
[11:48] <jpds> Igramul: He's gone.
[11:48] <Igramul> jpds: I know.
[11:48] <Igramul> Just keep wondering.
[11:48] <piranesi> I'm searching for a program that let me play a 25fps film at 24fps... With Mplayer I can play the video at 24fps but the audio goes like 25fps, it's not modified as I would like
[11:48] <gchaos_> Can  anybody tell me how to change the terminator fonts? thx
[11:49] <jpds> gchaos_: Open gnome-terminal and edit the profile there.
[11:49] <bracksisahobo> or in xfce4-terminal.
[11:49] <gchaos_> jpds: thx
[11:50] <Dazed> how can i edit this text file thats saying i dont have permission to save? How do I run this text editor with root priviledges?
[11:50] <Myrtti> Dazed: which editor
[11:50] <Myrtti> Dazed: nano, gedit?
[11:50] <jpds> vim?
[11:50] <Dazed> gedit
[11:50] <RainCT> Dazed: Alt + F2 -> gksudo gedit
[11:50] <Myrtti> Dazed: gksudo gedit
[11:51] <Dazed> Thanks
[11:51] <Dazed> what is the difference between sudo and gksudo?
[11:51] <jpds> !gksudo | Dazed

[11:52] <Igramul> giversen: You _can_ boot from CD, but I advise to make a backup of Your data as re-installing will most likely overwrite it.
[11:52] <miriam_> hi
[11:52] <tech0007> !java > pbn:
[11:53] <giversen> i will format my pc, and i cant boot from the cd, i have installet from

[11:56] <schubkarre> Igramul: Yes, multiple times :-(
[11:56] <davidroderick2> how can I read the FAQ of this irc channel?
[11:56] <tech0007> giversen: no need to use winrar, burn the iso to cd. try this; https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BurningIsoHowto

[11:57] <naymlezwun> i forgot to mention this is the first time i tried linux...very very new to it. what does that mean exactly?
[11:57] <Igramul> schubkarre: Might be caused by strange BIOS settings. Is Your primary hard disk registered in the BIOS?
[11:58] <shishio> im using ubuntu 8.10 and i think im having ping flooded... how do i fix this?
[11:58] <dabbu> can anyone give me a topic for seminar on ubuntu or open source
[11:58] <tech0007> giversen: is C an ntfs/vfat partition?
[11:58] <Igramul> dabbu: Commercial training?
[11:58] <davidroderick2> dabbu: no such nick/channel.  How do you escape the forward-slash?
[11:58] <tech0007> giversen: you can use gparted to format it.
[11:58] <Dazed> weed and ubuntu go well together: true or false?
[11:58] <tech0007> !offtopic | weed
[11:58] <giversen> hm, click on system, administartion and so are there a menu packed install
[11:59] <schubkarre> Igramul: It should work, because a few days ago I could install Ubuntu including GRUB successfully!
[11:59] <giversen> tech0007: what you mean?
[11:59] <pbn> tech0007: hello, I read that page about java, but on my 8.04 LTS fresh install, there is no command called update-java-alternatives
[11:59] <RainCT> rocko: ok.. change nx's home dir from /home/nx to /usr/NX/home/nx (see http://nixtechnica.blogspot.com/2007/04/how-to-change-your-home-directory-in.html but use vipw instead of nano)
[11:59] <shishio> im using ubuntu 8.10 and i think im having ping flooded... how do i fix this? huhu
[11:59] <dabbu> igramul:no just for a engineering student
[11:59] <naymlezwun> i have dual boot installed...i'm using the internet on the windows partition..i would have to reboot into ubuntu to do that
[11:59] <davidroderick2> I have tried help.ubuntu and ubuntforums.  Both quite introductory and random.  Any really useful resource on the net about ubuntu
[12:00] <Igramul> dabbu: You may try the Linux book from Addison-Wesley. (the "dragon-book")
[12:00] <rocko> RainCT: ok i have added the user and tried uninstalling and reinstalling
[12:00] <giversen> orh sweet, i know now, but whats best to scholl and just internet, ubunto , kubuntu or xubunto???????
[12:00] <Dazed> davidroderick: this channel
[12:00] <rocko> http://paste.ubuntu.com/37103/
[12:00] <tech0007> giversen: if u want to format (delete everything on a partition) use gparted
[12:00] <giversen> gparted? whats that?
[12:00] <naymlezwun> ANYBODY WANNA PM? Wireless card problems in ubuntu
[12:01] <Igramul> schubkarre: Obviously, something changed within the last few days...
[12:01] <tech0007> pbn: its part of java-common package
[12:01] <giversen> but whats best to scholl and just internet, ubunto , kubuntu or xubunto???????
[12:01] <davidroderick2> Dazed: yes but this channel is like the motorway.  So Igramul is this book very good?
[12:01] <tech0007> !info gparted | giversen
[12:01] <RainCT> rocko: OK. I guess creating the .ssh/sshd_config yourself should be enough, else I don't know.
[12:01] <joseph_cheah> ANYBODY LNOW HOW TO CRETE INITRAMFS ON UBUNTU???
[12:01] <dabbu> igramul:i want some simple topic ..don;t u have any...where can i find this book
[12:01] <shishio> im using ubuntu 8.04 and i think im having ping flooded... how do i fix this? huhu

[12:01] <rocko> thanks bye
[12:01] <joseph_cheah> ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO CRETE INITRAMFS ON UBUNTU???
[12:02] <prince_jammys> almost.
[12:02] <giversen>  but whats best to school and just internet, ubunto , kubuntu or xubunto???????
[12:02] <RainCT> joseph_cheah: please don't repeat questions that often and don't use caps
[12:02] <pbn> tech0007: okay then aptitude install java-common ?
[12:02] <tech0007> giversen: school?
[12:02] <davidroderick2> I read ruby book in 8 days.  I learn fast.  I need the path of enlightenment, not random stuff
[12:02] <giversen> year?
[12:02] <Circus-Killer> joseph_cheah,  dont repeat, no caps
[12:02] <schubkarre> Igramul: Yes, I made a backup of the MBR (dd), changed some partition sizes, and 'replayed' the MBR-backup. Not smart :-(
[12:02] <Igramul> dabbu: Well, You are a student - that book is very common in libraries of universities.
[12:02] <giversen> i know, universeti
[12:02] <tech0007> pbn yup
[12:03] <giversen> you know*
[12:03] <davidroderick2> by schools I read a hour ago that there is an edubuntu or something
[12:03] <Oli```> davidroderick2: you can ask questions here and use the forums. This channel is fast but that's why we prefix responses with the username. If somebody knows the answer they can respond quickly. Books are okay but for something as complex as Ubuntu, they rarely cater to exactly what you need.
[12:03] <tech0007> giversen: whats ur native language if u dont mind me askin?
[12:03] <dabbu> igramul:in that book i will get some old topic..any new topic plz
[12:03] <joseph_cheah> typo error my dear friend
[12:03] <giversen> Danish,
[12:04] <tech0007> giversen: school = learn? u mean?
[12:04] <tech0007> giversen: what exactly do u want to do?
[12:04] <naymlezwun> Anyone that wants to private message??? I need help installing my wireless card........
[12:04] <giversen> i mean using in school, to writing on ?
[12:04] <Igramul> dabbu: Try to get a new release of that book. If You are looking for a specific topic, just ask. But You will hardly find a book or website with everything new about linux/ubuntu.
[12:05] <Hondo_Kitsune> his wil lbe the 7th or 8th time i have asked this. I cannot log into Xnest. If i put the password in right it does not create a new session, it just returns to the "username" prompt./
[12:05] <tech0007> giversen: choice of ubuntu flavor actually is aesthetic...my fave is ubuntu
[12:05] <Oli```> davidroderick2: the path to enlightenment? Ultimately, Google is the final resource for fixing and learning.
[12:06] <tech0007> giversen: you can use any programs in any ubuntu flavor
[12:06] <Hondo_Kitsune> !Xnest
[12:06] <giversen> whats the diffent on ubunto, kubunto, xubunto?
[12:06] <speedtutrle> is there a channel for help on building a pc
[12:06] <bracksisahobo> different desktops
[12:06] <Hondo_Kitsune> Ubuntu is GNOME, Kubuntu is KDE and Xubuntu us XFCE
[12:06] <bracksisahobo> go with normal ubuntu
[12:07] <giversen> whats that?
[12:07] <naymlezwun> Tech0007-how familiar are you with ubuntu? can you help out?
[12:07] <dabbu> igramul:ok.....can u tell me about Mescode
[12:07] <Hondo_Kitsune> GNOME is a desktop environment, so is KDE and XFCE. I use Ubuntu Studio so I have GNOME
[12:07] <davidroderick2> Problem with threads on forums is that those are completely particular to one thing and the indexing of the problem is absent
[12:08] <dabbu> Igramul:MeSCoDe
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> !mescode
[12:08] <tech0007> naymlezwun: whats the issue?
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> !info mescode
[12:08] <Hondo_Kitsune> !info xmesh
[12:08] <wols_> ActionParsnip: mencoder?
[12:08] <naymlezwun> tech0007-can't get my wireless card to work right
[12:08] <prince_jammys> davidroderick2: the path is usually /usr/bin/enlightenment, unless you compiled it yourself somewhere else
[12:08] <Hondo_Kitsune> It does. I recently installed it
[12:08] <dlemcoe> hey hey! I'm trying to install PyGTK and I get this: http://pastebin.ca/1169539
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> wols_: was just seeing what is thats above
[12:08] <wols_> ActionParsnip: then /msg ubottu info foo  in private. don't spam the chnnel
[12:09] <tech0007> naymlezwun: sorry, i dont use wireless, but someone here might know, jst be patient
[12:09] <giversen> okay, thanks for the help, have a nice day :).
[12:09] <caffe_espresso> prince_jammys: problem solved!! tnx lot
[12:09] <wols_> naymlezwun: what wlan chip?
[12:09] <prince_jammys> caffe_espresso: cool
[12:09] <Hondo_Kitsune> I ask again. How can I sort the issue where I load XMesh and then cannot log in?
[12:09] <davidroderick2> Has anybody gotten ubuntu to
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> wols_: ok man
[12:09] <schubkarre> Alternate Install: "Unable to install GRUB in (hd0) - This is a fatal error"  :-( - Any suggestions?
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> davidroderick2: to what?
[12:09] <wols_> !errors | Hondo_Kitsune
[12:09] <dabbu> Does anyone know about MeSCoDe
[12:09] <caffe_espresso> prince_jammys: bye and tnx again
[12:10] <dlemcoe> hey hey! I'm trying to install PyGTK and I get this: http://pastebin.ca/1169539
[12:10] <prince_jammys> caffe_espresso: welcome. enjoy. annoying bug.
[12:10] <davidroderick2> Has anybody got ubuntu partition on hard drive to work as a virutal machine under a windows partition?
[12:10] <circusbred> Windows > Linux
[12:10] <Hondo_Kitsune> wols_: I have described it several different ways since I joined and I have been ignored. That is as detailed as i can becasue that is the error
[12:10] <prince_jammys> looks like he didn't like my 'path to enlightenment' joke.
[12:10] <Hondo_Kitsune> circusbred: Then why are you here?
[12:10] <jhattara> is there a way to make a hardy with a wlan card act as a wireless router ?
[12:10] <wers> would you say that quicksilver (on mac) still works better than gnome do?
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> davidroderick2: you cant boot your windows system in VM afaik
[12:10] <wols_> Hondo_Kitsune: if you can't provide more info you will have to solve the problem on your own. good day
[12:10] <dlemcoe> wers, no. But that's just an opinion
[12:11] <Hondo_Kitsune> wers: Try Launchy
[12:11] <wols_> jhattara: yes
[12:11] <dlemcoe> Davidrocker2, wut?
[12:11] <circusbred> Windows Vista blows ubuntu out of the water, ubuntu doesnt even work
[12:11] <Hondo_Kitsune> wols_: I have had problems solved here with less information that I am currently giving you
[12:11] <wols_> dlemcoe: not all wlan chips support AP mode tho
[12:11] <prince_jammys> Circus-Killer: it doesn't work under water.
[12:11] <Hondo_Kitsune> circusbred = idiot
[12:11] <dlemcoe> circusbread, you fail
[12:11] <ActionParsnip> circusbred: what doesnt work? Id disagree but Ubuntu suits my needs better than vista
[12:11] <Circus-Killer> eh?
[12:11] <Hondo_Kitsune> shame he left
[12:11] <prince_jammys> Circus-Killer: sorry, wrong nick.
[12:12] <Circus-Killer> lol, no problem ;)
[12:12] <jhattara> wols_, is there a tutorial somewhere, i tried yesterday evening but all i managed to do was to disable my network alltogether
[12:12] <tech0007> dlemcoe: you need to install glib 2.16.5
[12:12] <wols_> jhattara: anwer my question
[12:12] <dlemcoe> i did

[12:14] <BullButch> someone, please help me, i need to save my files at least... :(
[12:14] <Hondo_Kitsune> wols_: it is simple, I load up Xmesh, put in my username and password then no shell ,loads, i just get put back to the USername Prompt. (That is as detailed as it gets, no error messages, nothing)
[12:14] <ActionParsnip> wols_: whos spamming now :)
[12:14] <dlemcoe> okay
[12:14] <dlemcoe> lol everyone

[12:16] <DRLD> wols_: still here?
[12:16] <Hondo_Kitsune> wols_: There, i described my problem to the higest level of detail I can and you are still not helping.
[12:16] <dlemcoe> What does mah GTK/Python error?
[12:16] <KingdomOFish> is .Xmodmap automagically loaded one startup in ubuntu gnome?
[12:16] <wols_> !patience | Hondo_Kitsune
[12:17] <wols_> Hondo_Kitsune: if you demand help. hire a conslutant
[12:17] <dlemcoe> lol rite
[12:17] <DRLD> lol
[12:17] <tech0007> Hondo_Kitsune: canonical has paid tech support!
[12:17] <pbn> Hm how can I reconfigure apt and set completely different mirrors in debconf ? There used to be apt-setup but it is gone. And dpkg-reconfigure apt doesn't help... any idea ?
[12:18] <wols_> pbn: $editor /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:18] <Hondo_Kitsune> wols_: What is irritating me is that I have asked several time over the past half hour and all I have got was "Describe it in more detail"
[12:18] <dlemcoe> http://pastebin.ca/1169547 what's that mean?
[12:18] <wols_> Hondo_Kitsune: what irritates us are vague and useless "problem descriptions"
[12:18] <pbn> wols_: that I know, but in hm Debian there was a debconf dialog where you could choose country and even override things...
[12:18] <wols_> pbn: not anymore. apt-setup is long gone in debian
[12:18] <DRLD> wols_: glad yur still here. inet died for a few min. i changed it to nv and it didn't fix the problem. however, i also checked on my desktop which is using an ati chipset... and the same problem occurs. this computer currently has compiz off and the problem still occurs. could there be some option i need to change?
[12:19] <Hondo_Kitsune> wols_: I can't get any more detailed than I have given you
[12:19] <wols_> pbn: apt-spy and netselect-apt might be available
[12:19] <simoncpu> Hondo_Kitsune: maybe you could give us a detailed asl?
[12:19] <simoncpu> that would be cool =)
[12:19] <dlemcoe> *facepalm*
[12:19] <wols_> DRLD: it actually shouldn't happen. especially not across different hardware
[12:20] <Hondo_Kitsune> simoncpu: Eh, not applicable to the task at hand
[12:20] <wols_> DRLD: but I dunno what could be it. driver or compiz are the most likely culprits I'd said
[12:20] <dlemcoe> http://pastebin.ca/1169547  Hey, don't want to interupt, but what's goin' on here?
[12:20] <DRLD> wols_: a friend said it may be a problem with xgl... i know it's vague but do you have any idea what he might be talking about?
[12:21] <wols_> DRLD: xserver-xgl, if you have that still installed, uninstall it
[12:21] <wols_> it makes some cards (mainly ati with fglrx) compiz capable but has various drawbacks
[12:21] <quazzarr> nao sei nem como usar essa parada
[12:21] <caffe_espress1> i got a problem with ubuntu hardy, when the laptop starts it stops to Kinit: trying to resume from /dev/disk/by-uuid/.....

[12:22] <prince_jammys> !pt | quazzarr
[12:22] <wols_> dabbu: pay canonical some money

[12:24] <torgrimt_> anyone got a tips for an easy photo import application? like from a camera. the default application is horrible (for my mom), i only need it to ask what directory to put all the images in. and nothing more
[12:24] <wols_> dlemcoe: #freenode not here
[12:24] <Vixus> torgrimt_, teach her how to do it manually, it's by far the easiest way.
[12:24] <tonisius> what's the fastest form to boot from hardware?
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> !kamera > ActionParsnip
[12:24] <tonisius> is the "hard disk" the fastest form to boot from?
[12:24] <bazhang> !info digikam
[12:24] <dabbu> wols can u read that they provide free professional support...dont speak if u don;t know something
[12:24] <wols_> tonisius: get her a card reader?
[12:24] <brahmana> hi
[12:24] <wols_> dabbu: "free professional support" is an oxymoron
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> tonisius: solid state
[12:25] <torgrimt_> Vixus: not really an option ;)
[12:25] <tonisius> wols_: a card reader is faster than the disk? what kind of card reader?
[12:25] <simoncpu> i want "free professional"
[12:25] <lat> Does anyone know when Ubuntu will upgrade to Lyx 1.5.6?
[12:25] <wols_> dabbu: "professional" literally means "for money" "do X for a living"
[12:25] <rocko> how do you change user in terminal ?
[12:25] <simoncpu> a professional who will give me some lovin
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> simoncpu: please elaborate
[12:25] <tonisius> ActionParsnip: solid state has quick read? and SATA support?
[12:25] <brahmana> I tried installing the language meta package for Kannada language using this: `sudo apt-get install language-support-kn`
[12:25] <corvus> join #ubuntu-fr
[12:25] <rocko> how do you change to another user in terminal ?
[12:25] <wols_> tonisius: how does you digicam store pictures?
[12:25] <torgrimt_> Vixus: a nice little input box with a browsable direcory creater. even windows have that ;)
[12:25] <wols_> rocko: man su
[12:25] <simoncpu> ActionParsnip: you know... some professional who will love me for the night
[12:25] <naymlezwun> i can't really do that right now...i'm running dual boot and i'm on windows right now
[12:25] <simoncpu> :)
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> tonisius: yes, kicks the ass off platter based drives but cost a lot per Gb
[12:25] <bazhang> simoncpu, not here
[12:26] <brahmana> The installation process just hangs at a point saying: Generating locales: kn_IN.UTF-8...
[12:26] <bazhang> !ot | simoncpu
[12:26] <Vixus> torgrimt_, pfft, you'll just be encouraging her computer illiteracy. :P
[12:26] <tonisius> ActionParsnip: I only need less than a gig
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> simoncpu: wrong room dude
[12:26] <tonisius> ActionParsnip: thanks
[12:26] <simoncpu> oki
[12:26] <tonisius> wols_: your method seems easier to move data around, i'm looking for loading data to be quick.
[12:26] <rocko> wols_: i dont want to login as the su i want to login to another user i have created
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> tonisius: then id get a solid state hdd or a card reader with a card
[12:26] <brahmana> I searched for the error and found varied solutions some including doing stuff in recovery mode..
[12:26] <Vixus> torgrimt_, doesn't the default program do exactly that anyway? It does when I put in an SD card.
[12:26] <torgrimt_> Vixus: i had it hard enough to convice her to switch from windows xp
[12:27] <brahmana> I wanted to know if the problem is really that serious and whether there is a simpler solution.
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> tonisius: i wouldnt worry about boot times, just in system performance
[12:27] <wols_> tonisius: answer my question
[12:27] <tonisius> wols_: memory cards
[12:27] <torgrimt_> Vixus: no, f-spot is the default. and it just creates alot of folders and a big mess ;)
[12:27] <wols_> rocko: man su instead of telling me irrelevant things
[12:27] <tonisius> so card reader/ssd has similar performance?
[12:27] <Vixus> torgrimt_, you made your mum switch to ubuntu but you won't tell her how to copy photos manually? that's just silly.
[12:27] <torgrimt_> Vixus: she wants to import all images, and create a directory called for instance christmas-Ã2008
[12:27] <tonisius> I guess the cheaper method would make sense when I don't need much storage.
[12:27] <wols_> tonisius: then use a card reader. it's faster to transfer the pictures than using the usb cable with the cmaera usually
[12:28] <tonisius> sure, not sure why the 'camera' is being used but I'll take your word for it
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> torgrimt_: kamera does that in kde
[12:28] <torgrimt_> ActionParsnip: i know, but there must be an eqvivalente in gnome
[12:28] <bazhang> digikam as well iirc
[12:28] <naymlezwun> ActionParsnip:I'm not able to get lspci and the others, i'm running dual boot and i'm in windows right now
[12:28] <tonisius> now that I thikn about it, it's as quick as taking the memory card out and putting it into my system
[12:29] <torgrimt_> i really wonder why ubuntu ships with f-spot as default. its really buggy, slow and horrible ;)
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> !digikam | torgrimt_
[12:29] <tonisius> the nikon d40 I have is usb2.0 capable, and the download is just as quick
[12:29] <torgrimt_> ill google digikam ;)
[12:29] <tonisius> wols_: so I think using the cable is easier and more convenient when I don't have to open the latch
[12:29] <tonisius> wols_: and just as fast
[12:29] <wols_> DSLR is a bit different than consumer digicams
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> naymlezwun: can you get a wired connection til you get on your feet?
[12:29] <tonisius> wols_: most high end cameras have USB2.0 capable readers in there.
[12:29] <foxynet> wello word
[12:30] <tonisius> thanks for the notice.
[12:30] <Vixus> so no one's used xen?
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> !xen > ActionParsnip
[12:30] <naymlezwun> ActionParsnip: nope the router is upstairs and i don't have any ethernet cord available
[12:30] <pen> I'm using HP laptop. Everytime I plug my earphone line in before boot, if I play some music the front would also play too
[12:30] <pen> how do I fix this?
[12:30] <wols_> Vixus: probably no one bothered with a "anyone" question
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> naymlezwun: ok, are you using a desktop or laptop?
[12:31] <naymlezwun> ActionParsnip: desktop
[12:31] <Vixus> wols_, I was just curious... it 'seems' to be what I'm looking for.
[12:31] <DRLD> wols_: i dunno what happened... but after i restarted xserver... it fixed the problem
[12:31] <ActionParsnip> naymlezwun: self built or store bought?
[12:31] <naymlezwun> ActionParsnip: I got the windows driver installed with ndiswrapper
[12:31] <naymlezwun> ActionParsnip: storebuilt
[12:31] <wols_> DRLD: hard to diagnose errors like this
[12:31] <wers> how do I get an app's PID?
[12:31] <DRLD> wols_: yah heh
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> wers: pidof
[12:32] <prince_jammys> wers: pgrep app
[12:32] <wols_> wers: ps aux |grep app
[12:32] <sledgeas> hello
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> naymlezwun: ok so you're using ndiswrapper, you can install programs if you use your cd as a repo
[12:32] <prince_jammys> aka pgrep app
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> pidof appname
[12:32] <timz> when i watch embedded hd videos oon vimeo.com like youtube in fullscreen, everything starts to lagg, the sound and the picture, i dont have that problem when watchgin videos from my harddisk
[12:32] <sledgeas> is there an existing method of how to install linux (ubuntu) on a completely remote computer, currently running windows home+vnc server ?
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> sledgeas: you can in a VM box
[12:33] <naymlezwun> ActionParsnip: ok, oh just so you know this is the first time i've tried linux, very new at it
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> naymlezwun: many are in here
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> sledgeas: but if you want it native, vnc wont be running when you reboot
[12:33] <sledgeas> ActionParsnip: and how do i put it on a dedicated partition afterwards?
[12:33] <pen> I'm using HP laptop. Everytime I plug my earphone line in before boot, if I play some music the front would also play too
[12:34] <pen> how do I fix this?
[12:34] <sledgeas> ActionParsnip: that's why i ask. i need some modified ubuntu installation
[12:34] <sledgeas> with ssh or so
[12:34] <quazzarr> exit
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> sledgeas: get the alternative cd and you can do it all from ssh
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> naymlezwun: run synaptic and install ndiswrapper
[12:34] <naymlezwun> ActionParsnip: so any ideas? i tried iwconfig and the essid is off/any. Would that be a problem?
[12:35] <wols_> sledgeas: two main problems I can see: getting unpartitioned space on the hdd and geting the ssh to run from the start
[12:35] <wols_> the ssh install is doable
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> naymlezwun: have you done the ndiswrapper install and config
[12:35] <torgrimt_> Vixus: seems like its time for me to start up vim and code the darn thing myself
[12:35] <naymlezwun> ActionParsnip:i did install ndiswrapper with synaptic
[12:35] <naymlezwun> ActionParsnip:yes i've installed it
[12:35] <naymlezwun> ActionParsnip: when i try to config it bashes
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> naymlezwun: then you need to get your windows driver .inf and .sys files and thn run ndiswrapper -i <inf filename>
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> naymlezwun: done stuff like that
[12:36] <naymlezwun> ActionParsnip: i have installed the windows driver already
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> naymlezwun: ok, just establishing whats what
[12:37] <naymlezwun> ActionParsnip: ndiswrapper -l says driver present, hardware present
[12:37] <sledgeas> wols_: that's why i'm here
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> naymlezwun: and does ndiswrapper get installed at boot
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> naymlezwun: sudo ndiswrapper -m
[12:37] <naymlezwun> ActionParsnip: i did -m
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> naymlezwun: ok sweet
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> ok so what if you run ifconfig do you see wlan0 or ath0
[12:38] <naymlezwun> ActionParsnip: i get eth1
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> naymlezwun: ok try sudo mv /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces_old
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> naymlezwun: then reboot
[12:39] <sledgeas> wols_: i'd do partitioning over partition magic, how's about the ssh install then?
[12:40] <gisli> how do i make an WPA in the internet stuff
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> sledgeas: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> gisli: you want to enable wpa for your wireless?
[12:40] <gisli> oki
[12:41] <sledgeas> ActionParsnip: i want native install and i cannot physically approach the machine
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> !wpa | gisli
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> sledgeas: then you're screwed as you need to put a cd in the system to boot to the command environment dont you
[12:42] <naymlezwun> ActionParsnip: what will that do?
[12:42] <sledgeas> ActionParsnip: i'm not about CD:http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-28948.html
[12:42] <sledgeas> wols_ knows how to ssh already, so im waiting for his solution
[12:42] <hml> anyone figure out how to watch the olympics on ubuntu? i'm trying nbc.com, but it appears to reuqire that i run windows or mac
[12:42] <Proxydude> hey, some program is making a file "5" in my home dir, if i delete it it comes back almost instantly. how can i find out whats making it???
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> naymlezwun: it will reset your network conf and you should get a fresh one that will hopefully include your wifi
[12:42] <sledgeas> ActionParsnip:  wols_ knows how to ssh already, so im waiting for his solution
[12:43] <Dr_willis> hml,  yep. Annoying what some of the big sites are doing.. i noticed cbs.com stopped working for me in firefox under linux and under windows..
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> sledgeas: ive not used grub for NT, sorry
[12:43] <naymlezwun> ActionParsnip: ok well i guess i'll reboot into ubuntu now...thanks for your help. i'll be back if it doesn't work
[12:43] <Dr_willis> hml,  seeing other sites all 'upgrading' to newer flash requirements.. and breaking a lot of things. :(

[12:44] <ATA_Dark_Shadow> greetings cat /proc/bus/usb/devices , where would be that file in ubuntu if theres one?
[12:44] <porkpie> hi guy's trying to get vncserver working with LXDE  ....  I have vncserver installed but I don't get the LXDE desktop when I connect ...
[12:45] <hml> ActionParsnip: almost works: "Cannot play media. Sorry, this media is not available in your territory."
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> !vnc | porkpie
[12:45] <Dr_willis> porkpie,  you did cofigure vncserver to launch the lxde desktop?
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> hml: wow crazy
[12:45] <hml> ActionParsnip: yep; looks like broadcasting rights at its best
[12:45] <porkpie> Dr_willis:don't think so .. is a doc on it please
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> hml: http://www.webtvwire.com/olympics-live-online-in-2008-nbc-plans-comprehensive-coverage/
[12:46] <datacrusher> how do i check the version of my samba?
[12:46] <Dr_willis> porkpie,  what 'did' you do then to get vnc going? I normally install vnc4server, edit the users .vnc/xstartup and have that script launch whatever desktop i want.
[12:46] <dextone> guys is it true rgod has died ?
[12:46] <porkpie> Dr_willis:
[12:46] <bazhang> dextone what is that; this is ubuntu support
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> dextone: who's rgod?
[12:47] <porkpie> Dr_willis: ah ... OK I didn't edit the ./vnc/xstartup
[12:47] <porkpie> Dr_willis: is the a doc to do this
[12:47]  * dextone sorry ... bazhang
[12:47] <Dr_willis> porkpie,  the vnc4server docs perhaps..  a read of the 'vncserver' script is handy also. (its a fancy script that is well commented)
[12:48] <porkpie> ok
[12:48] <Dr_willis> porkpie,  xstartup is just a simple script - example (2 lines) --> xterm &   exec gnome-session
[12:48] <Dr_willis> porkpie,  that would launch gnome in the vncsession. change it to lauinch what you want
[12:48] <porkpie> OK
[12:49] <Dr_willis> porkpie,  be carefull when running 'vncserver' you can accidently get several vncsessions going at the same time. :) use the vncserver -kill :#  to kill off any extras running

[12:53] <ActionParsnip> TerrorBite: do you mean like error messages
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis: what features would you add?
[12:54] <idyllic> TerrorBite: application specific?
[12:54] <TerrorBite> idyllic: no, all libnotify notifications no longer appear
[12:54] <Dr_willis> ActionParsnip,  I dont like their choice in file manager.. and cant find where to change it for one thing.
[12:54] <monstrMobile> Does anyone know how to change the order of modules that load at boot?
[12:54] <TerrorBite> idyllic: I tried using the "notify-send" program to send a few, but nothing appeared
[12:55] <TerrorBite> I haven't seen any error messages
[12:55] <Dr_willis> ActionParsnip,   use it for a few days and see if you like it or not.. :) this is linux..  we use what we like.. and toss the rest.
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis: install another, I like rox personally but you can install thunar or nautilus if you prefer
[12:55] <monstrMobile> I need to know how to change when usbcore loads
[12:55] <ikonia> monstrMobile: in what way ?
[12:55] <Dr_willis> ActionParsnip,  i do have others installed.. and it still defaults to launching pcmman or whatever it was. so i went back to my customuized desktop i made my self.
[12:56] <monstrMobile> ikonia - i have a webcam that i have to unplug then plug back in when the system boots
[12:56] <Dr_willis> ActionParsnip,  been using jwm+rox mainly the last few months.  switched to icewm+rox this week.
[12:56] <mrwhippy> greetings all, I am working my way through the openldap + samba small business server how to and have come across a problem when generating the sid, in that i get a cannot connect to the ldap server any who may be able to help around please
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis: rox is the nuts :)
[12:56] <monstrMobile> ikonia - the reason is...the driver for the webcam is loaded after usbcore
[12:56] <TerrorBite> idyllic, ActionParsnip: any ideas?
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> mrwhippy: can you ping its name and ip?
[12:56] <Dr_willis> ActionParsnip,  rox is just a little weird in ways.. but i find it very useable.
[12:56] <ikonia> monstrMobile: why is that a problem ?
[12:56] <Juje007> What is the command to make a Ubuntu desktop from a ubuntu server?
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> Juje007: theres no difference
[12:57] <monstrMobile> ikonia - i have to restart the system sometimes remotely and the webcam is used as a monitoring device
[12:57] <Juje007> K
[12:57] <mrwhippy> actionparsnip: i can remote to the server using ssh and everything is installed on the same server, so i am using localhost to try to connect to it
[12:57] <porkpie> Dr_willis: hmm! made the change but still get a grey desktop
[12:57] <ikonia> Juje007: I'd consider using the ubuntu desktop CD if you want a desktop, rather than a server install
[12:57] <hala> 有中国人吗
[12:57] <ikonia> monstrMobile: ok - so, I'm not quite sure why thats a problem ?
[12:58] <bazhang> !cn | hala
[12:58] <Vixus> torgrimt_, good luck :D
[12:58] <Juje007> Someone from ubuntu-nl said I needed to use t (Client Quit)
[12:58] <Juje007> [13:56:57] <henkjan> Juje007: s
[12:58] <Juje007> Dang
[12:58] <Juje007> wrong line
[12:58] <FloodBot1> Juje007: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:58] <Juje007> this
[12:58] <Juje007> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[12:58] <ikonia> Juje007: what hware are you running on ?
[12:58] <monstrMobile> ikonia - it is...i have to go back to the location where the computer is and replug the camera in...there has to be a way to change the module boot order
[12:58] <hala> Thank u
[12:58] <Juje007> hware?
[12:58] <ikonia> monstrMobile: just unloder/reload the module ?
[12:58] <idyllic> TerrorBite: i "think" you need dbus-launch... apt-get install dbus-x11 ?
[12:58] <Dr_willis> porkpie,  you did KILL and restart the vncserver?  also at the end of the xstartup you may want to use another 'xterm' or 'gnome-terminal' (no &) to keeop a termial open if the windowmanager  closes. also check the logs.
[12:58] <Juje007> hardware?
[12:58] <ikonia> monstrMobile: it should load in the rigt order if the depmod is setup correclty
[12:59] <ikonia> Juje007: yes, it it "home user" hardware
[12:59] <orgthingy> hi
[12:59] <Pirate_Hunter> can i install ubuntu server on 2GB Ram, 115GB drive, SiS661FX graphics card, 3.2Ghz processor?
[12:59] <orgthingy> http://www.onestopphoneshop.co.uk/mobile-phones/orange/usbmod/orange/eoi25jul08
[12:59] <gvk> Is that tracker thing good for anything?
[12:59] <monstrMobile> ikonia - i did depmod -a...is that correct
[12:59] <orgthingy> how can i use this porable usb modem stick in my ubuntu?
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> mrwhippy: do you connect from the server that ant connect to its LDAP server to the LDAP server using name or IP?
[12:59] <ikonia> Pirate_Hunter: why do you want the server install ?
[12:59] <Vegombrei> hi .. is there a way to name multiple files all at once .. eg .. i have tons of pictures and wanna rename all roughly 17000 pictures numerically .. how do i do that ? is there a command that could do that ?
[12:59] <orgthingy> i didnt buy that laptop, and i dunno what program theyre using
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> Pirate_Hunter: definately
[12:59] <ikonia> monstrMobile: if the modules dependencies are set correctly
[12:59] <Juje007> Why do you need to know my hardware?
[12:59] <monstrMobile> ikonia - how do i do that?
[12:59] <TerrorBite> idyllic: already latest version
[12:59] <ikonia> Juje007: to see which release server/desktop may suit you better
[12:59] <gvk> Vegombrei: Write a bash script.
[12:59] <Pirate_Hunter> ikonia: just to try it out never tried it out
[12:59] <ikonia> monstrMobile: thats done at module compile time
[12:59] <ikonia> Pirate_Hunter: it's the same as the desktop
[13:00] <ikonia> Pirate_Hunter: if you've tried the desktop - you've tried the same base os
[13:00] <Dr_willis> Vegombrei,  there are several 'rename' tools  in the repositories. its doable.. what tool depends on exactly wha tyou want to do. do an 'apt-cache search rename' and see whats there.
[13:00] <Vegombrei> gvk: whats a bash script ?
[13:00] <mrwhippy> actionparsnip: I connect from ubuntu desktop to the server which has both ldap and samba on it, hold on ill get you the full error message now that mayhelp morew
[13:00] <monstrMobile> ikonia - is there a link you know of that i can read
[13:00] <Pirate_Hunter> ActionParsnip: hmmm the ubuntu site said no to that i needed 500GB minimum
[13:00] <Juje007> I installed Ubuntu 8.10 Server
[13:00] <orgthingy> anyone?
[13:00] <ikonia> monstrMobile: link to what ?
[13:00] <ikonia> Juje007: yes, but on what hardware ?
[13:00] <ikonia> Juje007: home user hardware ?
[13:00] <hyppias> hi Anyone used bootchart.org lately ? site does nog respond (to me, anyway)...
[13:00] <gvk> nuff said
[13:00] <Pirate_Hunter> ikonia: so what is the difference between both than?
[13:00] <Vegombrei> Dr_willis: ok lemme see
[13:00] <bazhang> Juje007, you mean 8.04
[13:00] <Juje007> What do you mean with home user hardware
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> Pirate_Hunter: depends on what its a server for, the base install is not much different to the desktop
[13:00] <ikonia> Pirate_Hunter: one is aimed at at enterprise/server class kit in terms of optimisations
[13:00] <monstrMobile> ikonia - more info on how to compile the module with the correct dependencies
[13:00] <mrwhippy> actionparsnip:failed to bind to server ldap://localhost/ with dn="cn=admin,dc=one,dc=co,dc=uk" Error: Can't contact LDAP server         -------     i have changed the dc that reads one from its original
[13:00] <Juje007> Ya bazhang
[13:01] <ikonia> monstrMobile: is the module a default kernel modules, or 3rd party
[13:01] <Pirate_Hunter> ikonia: i see
[13:01] <ikonia> Juje007: as in, is it a desktop PC ?
[13:01] <monstrMobile> ikonia - the module is ov51x-jpeg
[13:01] <idyllic> TerrorBite: you on your compiz-fusion? Notification work with metacity?
[13:01] <Juje007> But I allready used this cmdd ikonia: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[13:01] <Juje007> Ya it's a desktop pc
[13:01] <Pirate_Hunter> ActionParsnip: well never had a server and never used one so thats why i wish to try it out, do small things with it first and who knows their after
[13:01] <monstrMobile> ikonia - the source for it in the ubuntu repo is broken so i downloaded a deb from a ubuntu bug report
[13:01] <Juje007> I lost my desktop cd so I installed the server version
[13:01] <TerrorBite> idyllic: it used to work with compiz-fusion, I'll try with metacity though
[13:02] <ikonia> Juje007: if your using a desktop PC, you may actaully be better installing the OS from the desktop CD - as it's setup better for home/Desktop hardware
[13:02] <Vegombrei> Dr_willis: there's one called renameutils .. i guess i should apt-get that
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> mrwhippy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=640760&page=9
[13:02] <ikonia> monstrMobile: no - is the module part of the kernel, or a 3rd party module
[13:02] <monstrMobile> ikonia - oh...third party
[13:02] <mrwhippy> actionparsnip: having  a  look now
[13:02] <ikonia> monstrMobile: then you need to speak to them about the module dependencies
[13:02] <ikonia> monstrMobile: the people who write it
[13:02] <ikonia> monstrMobile: or hack it yourself
[13:02] <TerrorBite> idyllic: Okay, can confirm it works with metacity
[13:03] <monstrMobile> ikonia - i understand...thank you...i suppose i will do that
[13:03] <idyllic> TerrorBite: wee :)
[13:03] <idyllic> TerrorBite: i suggest you do something with compiz-fusion plugins for notification
[13:03] <TerrorBite> idyllic: I don't know why it stopped working
[13:03] <gvk> Is that Tracker thing good for anything?
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> mrwhippy: i was merely checking DNS issues resolving names to IPs, I dont know about LDAP
[13:04] <idyllic> TerrorBite: are you on hardy?
[13:04] <timz> when i watch embedded hd videos oon vimeo.com like youtube in fullscreen, everything starts to lagg, the sound and the picture, i dont have that problem when watchgin videos from my harddisk
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> timz: you running compiz?
[13:04] <mrwhippy> actionparsnip: thanks for your efforts, i have been through my files as the post you found suggested but i think i am about to go check them again, if not its a start again thing
[13:05] <gvk> timz: Flash is more of a resource hog than a standard player, I guess.
[13:05] <idyllic> gvk: you are right. At least on linux.
[13:05] <timz> ActionParsnip, yes, i do
[13:05] <timz> gvk, so how can i fix this
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> timz: thats why, compiz screws LOTS of stuff up
[13:06] <timz> ActionParsnip, ok i'll try
[13:06]  * ActionParsnip HATES compiz loads
[13:06] <idyllic> timz: does it work fine without compiz?
[13:06] <peng1> looking for a way to view 3d Field Sequential video (as anaglyph and/or cross view 3d)
[13:06] <timz> there's my other question, how do i end compiz^^, with kubuntu it was kwin --replace, but now i changed to ubuntu
[13:06] <db92> timz, metacity --replace
[13:06] <idyllic> timz: metacity --replace
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> timz: 64bit flash is a pain too
[13:07] <genius> I want to install linux-backports-modules on my hardy server. but after successful installation i see, that my modules does not upgraded. wht's wrong?
[13:08] <timz> its not working even without compiz
[13:08] <porkpie> Dr_willis: looks like it is using gnome display manager
[13:08] <TerrorBite> idyllic: yes, I'm on hardy
[13:08] <gvk> timz: If it still lags, do like the vista and get better hardware.
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> timz: what spec is your PC?
[13:09] <idyllic> TerrorBite: goto CCMS, then make sure Workarounds plugin - notification daemon fix is ticked
[13:09] <axisys> how do I know which one to install ? libstdc++5_i386.deb or 6_i386.deb ?
[13:09] <timz> 2.6 ghz quadcore 4 gb ram 64 bit ubuntu 8.04 flachplugin -nonfree
[13:09] <axisys> this is for gizmo project
[13:09] <idyllic> TerrorBite: and Dbus plug in as well
[13:09] <prower> Hello :> Could anyone recommend a good brand and model of mp3 player that's well supported under Ubuntu? I've read up on the Sandisk Fuze but it seems like there are some issues with that, I was hoping for something like the PSP (aka. just moves the files on as if it were a flash drive)
[13:09] <gvk> Well, the hw is not the problem :D
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> timz: maybe theres a thing with 4Gb RAM. Ive seen some apps ave issues with certain ram amounts
[13:09] <pbn> Hello. With apt-cacher, is there some way to tell it to remove all packages that came from a specific source ?
[13:09] <ikonia> axisys: why are you trying to install a 32bit package
[13:09] <mercutio22> Hello. I saved my desktop session and I guess that doesn't work quite well with compiz enabled. Now I am having trouble undoing it. Is there a file where the running applications I saved are listed that I can just delete?
[13:09] <TerrorBite> idyllic: already checked those, the workaround was enabled, but the dbus plugin wasn't
[13:10] <idyllic> TerrorBite: tick them :D
[13:10] <mercutio22> Is that clear enough?
[13:10] <axisys> ikonia: http://gizmo5.com/pc/download/linux/ over here there are two choices .. so 5_i386 is 32 bit and 6_i386 is 64 bit ?
[13:10] <TerrorBite> idyllic: workaround and dbus plugin both enabled now, still can't see notifications
[13:10] <timz> ActionParsnip, can i fix this per software or should i remove a 2 gb stick(<--?)
[13:10] <ikonia> axisys: both are 32bit
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> mercutio22: you can view running apps, ive not heard of saved apps
[13:10] <filo1234> hello how can i know if some program is in universe or mulriverse or backports and so on.....repository?
[13:11] <axisys> ikonia: so where can I get the gizmo project for ubuntu 64 bit to run on my laptop ?
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> timz: id have a look around, what browser are you using?
[13:11] <ikonia> axisys: contact the people at gizmo
[13:11] <mercutio22> ActionParsnip: I mean, I saved the currently running apps in gnome-session. I want to undo it.
[13:11] <Flynsarmy> If i start a program from a terminal window is there any way i can close that terminal window and have the program stay running?
[13:11] <timz> ActionParsnip, firefox
[13:11] <gvk> filo1234: apt-cache search program
[13:11] <axisys> ikonia: ok how do I know if I am running 32bit or 64bit OS ?
[13:11] <filo1234> gvk: thanks
[13:11] <TerrorBite> Flynsarmy: put "nohup
[13:11] <ikonia> axisys: please show me "uname -a"
[13:11] <TerrorBite> Flynsarmy: put "nohup" in front of it
[13:12] <axisys> ikonia: Linux ghar 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Fri Jul 11 23:41:49 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> timz: what flash plugin you using?
[13:12] <ikonia> axisys: your running 32bit
[13:12] <timz> ActionParsnip, -nonfree
[13:12] <ikonia> axisys: you need to install this package http://download.gizmo5.com/GizmoDownload/gizmo-project_<IP_ADDRESS>_libstdc++6_i386.deb
[13:12] <ikonia> axisys: not the one your are trying
[13:12] <axisys> ikonia: how do u know that.. i like to know
[13:12] <timz> ActionParsnip, i also tried gnash, but didnt work at all
[13:12] <ikonia> axisys: i686
[13:12] <ikonia> axisys: thats 32bit
[13:13] <axisys> ikonia: what would a 64bit say ?
[13:13] <ikonia> axisys: x86_64
[13:13] <idyllic> TerrorBite: can you restart compiz? and another thing, tick the plugins from the CCSM, don't go into the plugin itself then tick
[13:13] <axisys> ikonia: oh ok.. ofcourse! duh!
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> timz: get ndispluginwrapper and the adobe one. Thats what I used, search for walkthroughs and you'll hit home
[13:14] <axisys> ikonia: i just installed this http://download.gizmo5.com/GizmoDownload/gizmo-project_<IP_ADDRESS>_libstdc++5_i386.deb
[13:14] <axisys> ikonia: how do I remove it ?
[13:14] <TerrorBite> idyllic: already restarted compiz when I switched to metacity to see if it worked there, I'll restart it again anyway
[13:14] <ikonia> axisys: you need to remove that
[13:14] <ikonia> axisys: how did you install it /
[13:14] <axisys> ikonia: gdebi
[13:14] <icesword> hi
[13:14] <ikonia> axisys: isn't there a remove option ?
[13:14] <ikonia> axisys: or use dpkg
[13:14] <Flynsarmy> TerrorBite: If i typed wine gedit and gedit and i havent been given a new prompt, is there a way to get one?
[13:15] <Flynsarmy> TerrorBite: sorry, wine <prog>
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> axisys: dpkg -i gizmo-project
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> oop
[13:15] <TerrorBite> Flynsarmy: put an & on the end
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> dpkg -r gizmo-project
[13:15] <axisys> ActionParsnip: thnx
[13:15] <TerrorBite> as in: gedit &
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> axisys: or use synaptic
[13:15] <Flynsarmy> TerrorBite: Yea that requires me starting again. i mean if i already have the program open and i dont want to close it
[13:15] <mercutio22> Can somone tell me how to make gnome session forget a saved session??
[13:16] <TerrorBite> Flynsarmy: press Ctrl-Z in the terminal window, then type 'bg'
[13:16] <prince_jammys> Flynsarmy: ctrl-z and then type 'bg'
[13:16] <prince_jammys> survey says...
[13:16] <plundra> How can I dump the monitor-settings X is currently using? (It's autodetected with the screen directly connected, but when using a kvm-extender it fails, so I need to make it static)
[13:16] <idyllic> Flynsarmy: type Alt-F2, then run the program. Save everyone trouble :)
[13:17] <Flynsarmy> prince_jammys: Thanks. will this now stay open if i close the terminal window?
[13:17] <prince_jammys> i don't think so
[13:17] <prince_jammys> you have to disown it
[13:17] <idyllic> Flynsarmy: type Alt-F2, then run the program. Save everyone trouble :)
[13:17] <timz> ActionParsnip, do you mean nspluginwrapper?
[13:17] <prince_jammys> Flynsarmy: disown
[13:17] <TerrorBite> Flynsarmy: if you didn't run it with nohup to begin with, it'll still close along with the terminal
[13:17] <idyllic> anyway, bye guys....
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> timz: yeah man
[13:18] <timz> ActionParsnip, i already have nspluginwrapper und the flashplugin-nonfree
[13:18] <Vegombrei> how do i force quit an app that i think has hung ?
[13:18] <gvk> Vegombrei: killall appname
[13:18] <TerrorBite> Flynsarmy: type 'disown -h 1'
[13:19] <porkpie> has anyone here got LXDE working with VNC .... I can't get the desktop session to work :S
[13:19] <TerrorBite> Flynsarmy: asuming you got [1] when you pressed Ctrl-Z
[13:19] <prince_jammys> disown by itself will also work, but yeah.
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> timz: then id try removing flash and reinstalling. or try opera
[13:19] <TerrorBite> prince_jammys: didn't know that one
[13:19] <prince_jammys> TerrorBite: it'll disown all jobs
[13:20] <Vegombrei> gvk: app got killed but cpu still going flat out
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> Vegombrei: run top
[13:21] <Flynsarmy> TerrorBite: no such job. prince_jammys: I got no output at all when typing disown. is that because i typed bg first?
[13:21] <prince_jammys> Flynsarmy: no output is ok.
[13:21] <x_dimitri> PPPD typically spits out 'gibberish' when run directly, and trying to establish a connection. However when using the ubuntu scripts to start up pppd (pon, pppoeconf, e.t.c.), the 'gibberish' typically isn't displayed. I just noticed that using the scripts now displays all that gibberish, and the PPP connection won't come up. The error message given is "LCP: timeout sending config-requests" Any ideas on how to fix this?
[13:21] <Vegombrei> ActionParsnip: should i type that in terminal ?
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> Vegombrei: yes
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> top
[13:21] <TerrorBite> Flynsarmy: it says no such job because it already disowned it the first time you ran 'disown'
[13:21] <TerrorBite> Flynsarmy: you can now safely close the terminal
[13:22] <Flynsarmy> TerrorBite: Got it, thanks
[13:22] <gvk> Vegombrei: kill the app that's flatting the cpu.
[13:23] <tonisius> ugh, what could: "/dev/sdc1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive" ?
[13:23] <gvk> Vegombrei: If kill does not work, try sudo kill, if that doesn't work, reboot :D
[13:23] <tonisius> trying to do #grub-install /dev/sda
[13:23] <tonisius> broken mbr, and currently chrooted into my original installation, trying to get the bootloader reinstalled
[13:23] <ActionParsnip> tonisius: sdc1 is a partition on sdc which is secondary master
[13:24] <db92> why is it that if i want to install libflashsupport, ubuntu wants to remove oss? :||||
[13:24] <tonisius> I understand where it is, but why is it not letting me run the grub install on sda?
[13:24] <Flash-xD> how can i make to umask stay 133 when logout?
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> tonisius: what does it say when you try?
[13:24] <tonisius> it says that error:
[13:24] <tonisius> ugh, what could: "/dev/sdc1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive" ?
[13:24] <ogzy> is there anyway to see the resource addresses that are used by pci devices in Ubuntu, like the one in windows device manager show by connection
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> tonisius: you mayhave to make the partition the ACTIVE partition
[13:25] <tonisius> ActionParsnip: how do I make the partition active, that's sort of new to me
[13:25] <tonisius> I've done this 4 times today, but this time it's not working
[13:25] <tonisius> grub has been decent all day
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> tonisius: well yeah, the system will boot the active partition, if you install grub on an inactive partition it wont do anything
[13:26] <tonisius> hmm, ugh, maybe cause it's mounted?
[13:26] <tonisius> since I had to mount sdc1 to chroot into it
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> tonisius: that too
[13:26] <tonisius> hm, but I did this today multiple times with the same steps
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> tonisius: id check its the active partition in fdisk or cfdisk
[13:26] <tonisius> mount the main drive, bind the dev, mount the sysyfs, and the other stuff

[13:27] <timz> anybody here got a creative x-fi card running with alsa?
[13:27] <tonisius> what would cfdisk say tif it was active?
[13:27] <tonisius> currently the flags are set, but nothing much else
[13:27] <Flash-xD> how can i make to stay umask 133 when logout?
[13:27] <tonisius> Flash-xD: google it
[13:27] <prower> Hello :> Could anyone recommend a good brand and model of mp3 player that's well supported under Ubuntu? I've read up on the Sandisk Fuze but it seems like there are some issues with that, I was hoping for something like the PSP (aka. just moves the files on as if it were a flash drive)
[13:28] <tonisius> Flash-xD: that's a common question
[13:28] <tonisius> prower: sandisk is like that,
[13:28] <tonisius> most MP3 players that act like a portable drive do that
[13:28] <tonisius> my ipod connects too, just not to move music on it, but to put files on it
[13:28] <corsaro94> salve
[13:29] <cynicismic> use gtkpod
[13:29] <cynicismic> that can interact with the itunes lib
[13:29] <prower> tonisius: Yeah, that's what I was told about sandisk, but reading a page on the sandisk fuze it seems like there's some problems with it
[13:29] <Flash-xD> tonisius, i know how to put it on .bashrc, but i dont want to put my home, i want to put /home/html/inf/
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> prower: cowon make sweet players that are ubuntu friendly
[13:29] <prower> I would get an ipod but the newest generation are no longer supported :<
[13:29] <cynicismic> yeah the cowon ones are cool
[13:29] <prower> ActionParsnip: Hmm, I'll have to see if they are available in my area thanks
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> prower: check the x5 it supports ogg and m3u
[13:30] <tonisius> ActionParsnip: wow, just looked up my linux partitions with cfdisk /dev/sdc
[13:30] <tonisius> and it's showing it as a primary FAT16, and logical as Linux Swap
[13:30] <tonisius> ugh!
[13:31] <tonisius> I even mounted it already

[13:33] <mm2000> I have en_GB.utf8, but i need en_GB
[13:33] <compubomb> problem is, i'm connected to ubuntu linux via putty.

[13:35] <ActionParsnip> pinnerup: so tats the wired internet connection over ethernet cable?
[13:35] <geirha> compubomb: You need to add those variables ssh-agent outputs to your environment. You can do this by copy/pasting them, or running it through eval "eval $(ssh-agent)"
[13:35] <compubomb> geirha: i'll show you what it does.
[13:35] <pinnerup> ActionParsnip: Right.

[13:40] <Vegombrei> ActionParsnip:  can i pkill compiz.real too ?
[13:40] <unr3a1> now, does Ubuntu save those DNS settings to use if I connect somewhere else, or does it pull for new DNS settings everytime it gets an IP address from DHCP?
[13:40] <geirha> compubomb: that will create a new ssh-agent everytime bash is run, so that's not such a good idea ... I'm not sure what the best way is :/

(It's for a family member--I hate iPods :/) and there is NO way I'll ever let iTunes touch my PC's not even through Wine.

[13:46] <noam> Does anyone know how to make Emerald the default decorator in Hardy
[13:46] <noam> ?
[13:46] <Kartagis> i had the pidgin-rhythmbox plugin installed, but now it's gone. how come?
[13:47] <pogay> I saw a command mkxauth, which doesn't seem to be available unter ubuntu (8.10). What's a easy way to  create a x-authority for a new user?  (testuser, with no GDM-login)
[13:47] <ActionParsnip> noam: autorun emerald --replace at bootup
[13:47] <the_darkside_986> I've been trying to use Banshee but when I click and drag mp3's from a playlist into the iPod device, it just crashes.
[13:47] <gatestone> Is there a screensaver that would show news? Maybe an RSS aggregator slideshow screen saver?
[13:47] <noam> ActionParsnip: Isn't there a more elegant way?
[13:48] <the_darkside_986> iPod shuffle mounts as a usb harddrive but we don't know where to put the songs and it hasn't been "initialized" by iTunes. My friend on Ubuntu 7.10 says Banshee can do that anyway but I'm on Ubuntu 8.04.
[13:48] <prince_jammys> pogay: xauth, perhaps
[13:48] <ActionParsnip> noam: not that i know of and id say adding a sigle line at bootup was fairly elegant
[13:49] <compubomb> geirha: btw, thanks
[13:49] <prince_jammys> pogay: mm. that command seems more geared to querying the x authority.
[13:49] <unr3a1> ActionParsnip, hmmm... the reason I ask, is it seems as if my computer is holding onto DNS settings from my home (I am at work right now).
[13:49] <pogay> prince_jammys: probably with extract an merge...
[13:49]  * dextone time to go home
[13:50] <dextone> bye all, thx 4 your helps...
[13:50] <geirha> compubomb: No problem.
[13:50] <ActionParsnip> unr3a1: is there any in /etc/resolv.conf or /etc/network/interfaces
[13:50] <indian_munnda> can anyone tell me how to install .tar.gz file, i have downloaded "realplay_10.0.9-1gutsy1.tar.gz". But i don't know how to install it.
[13:50] <DrGhoul> Can somebody tell me if the skype problems in hardy have been resolved (100% CPU usage, not able to shut it down etcetc)? If so where can I find the info for fixing it
[13:50] <ogzy> i was checking the source of usplash theme of xubuntu and trying to edit the .progressbar_background = 73, so what is the equivalent of 73 in color or where can i find the other color values?
[13:50] <joseph_cheah> anyone know how to create initramfs disk on ubuntu hardy?
[13:50] <unr3a1> ActionParsnip, yes.  the DNS server from my home is in the /etc/resolv.conf
[13:50] <pogay> prince_jammys:  it's strange I dont find nice example in the internet...
[13:50] <ActionParsnip> unr3a1: then edit it out

[13:51] <shesek`> the part that im not sure about is the 21-7
[13:51] <shesek`> would it work, from 9 in the evening to 7 in the morning ?
[13:51] <kiz0ph> Guys, my newsmy mp4 cannot be mounted. I am under Ubuntu 8.04
[13:51] <the_darkside_986> indian_munnda, first, open up the folder where you put the file, right click and select "extract here"
[13:51] <peng1> is there a way to view 3d Field Sequential video in linux? (as anaglyph and/or cross view 3d)
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> shesek`: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto
[13:51] <unr3a1> ActionParsnip, so then how does it pull for different DNS, because the server it has now, wasn't the server it had yesterday, and I didn't manually change it.
[13:52] <shesek`> ActionParsnip, I know how to use crontab in general
[13:52] <indian_munnda> the_darkside_986: i have extracted that into a folder on the desktop
[13:52] <shesek`> just asking specificlly if 21-7 is valid
[13:52] <the_darkside_986> ok
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> should get it via dhcp as you say but id edit out the line for your old dns
[13:52] <the_darkside_986> indian_munnda, what is in the extracted folder exactly?
[13:52] <shesek`> anyone ?
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> shesek`: it tells you what each colomn means
[13:53] <jimqode> peng1, too specıfıc subject for help channel but try searching the packages for anaglyph: apt-cache search anaglyph
[13:53] <indian_munnda> the_darkside_986: these are supporting files i think
[13:53] <geirha> shesek`: It might, not sure. Though "21-23,0-8" should work.
[13:53] <shesek`> AfterDeath, I know that
[13:53] <prince_jammys> shesek`: if it doesn't, perhaps */2 0-7,21-0
[13:53] <shesek`> geirha, thats a good idea, I'll do that just to make sure
[13:53] <peng1> jimqode: it could just be a choice for de-interlacing in vlc.. but it's not :(

[13:53] <tonisius> ugh
[13:53] <tonisius> can't sleep
[13:53] <indian_munnda> the_darkside_986: there are 2 folders named as docs and patched
[13:54] <wols_> shesek`: I dunno if partitionmagic works
[13:54] <unr3a1> ActionParsnip, I am not worried about the setting.  it is set to OpenDNS, <IP_ADDRESS>.  i was just curious how Ubuntu gets different DNS info
[13:54] <tonisius> ok, the only hard drive in the system has the wrong 'partition type' listed in the grub
[13:54] <indian_munnda> the_darkside_986: and other images of the real play interface
[13:54] <tonisius> I can mount it, and it's mounted as ext2fs properly
[13:54] <tonisius> but I umount it, and grub still doesn't recognize it, and refuses to mount it
[13:54] <wols_> sledgeas:  I dunno if partitionmagic works. To actually resize, partitionmagic will reboot in a DOS mode with no sshd or vnc running
[13:55] <tonisius> googling ext2fs repair didn't bring in much of anything to help with the type being 0x6 instead of 0x83
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> tonisius: id look at changing the type but im not sure abut the data
[13:55] <DrGhoul> Anyone know about a workaround for the skype problems in hardy?
[13:56] <tonisius> ok, good thing I didn't change the tyoe
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> DrGhoul: what sort of problems???
[13:56] <tonisius> I mounted it, and it's showing up as ext3
[13:56] <tonisius> when i swear it was ext2fs before
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> tonisius: id backup the data and remake the partition so its all consistant
[13:57] <tonisius> is the default type with ubuntu ext3? or ext2fs?
[13:57] <jelle_>  is it normal to experience alot of vertical tearing when moving windows in ubuntu?
[13:57] <tonisius> I have no where ot backup to
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> tonisius: you can use what you want
[13:57] <tonisius> windows wont bootup either
[13:57] <jelle_> i installed the nvidia drivers
[13:57] <tonisius> but default when installing ubuntu
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> tonisius: what if the drive fails. how will you recover the data??
[13:57] <prince_jammys> tonisius: default is ext3
[13:57] <kuroryuu> tonisius: the default is ext3
[13:57] <zorglu_> q. i got a ubuntu-server installation in french language, and i would like to switch it to english, where should i look ?
[13:57] <DrGhoul> ActionParsnip: it's eating all my cpu when running, I can't shut it down properly, mic is not working (I have no other Pulseaudio issues)
[13:57] <tonisius> what if my windows drive fails, how will I recover THAT data, it's more important
[13:58] <unr3a1> ActionParsnip, so if its not updating its DNS automatically, is that potentially a problem with Ubuntu, or does it not update DNS everytime it requests DHCP?
[13:58] <indian_munnda> the_darkside_986: there are some executables also like one is named as "Realplay 10" and when i run it it says "There was an error launching the application"
[13:58] <timz> how can i get the frozen bubble soundtrack(ingame)^^?
[13:58] <tonisius> I'm trying to recreate the grub, and it's refusing to use the /boot/ in my /dev/sdc1 partition

[13:58] <tonisius> root (hd2,0)  then setup (hd0)
[13:58] <babo> i thought that should work no ?
[13:59] <tonisius> just says unable to mount partition error 17
[13:59] <tonisius> urgh
[13:59] <tonisius> and it doesn't show the parition type when I try and tab through the different partitions
[13:59] <indian_munnda> the_darkside_986: are u there?
[13:59] <prince_jammys> babo: in what context?
[13:59] <tonisius> it says type 0x6 where the ext3 type should be

[14:11] <jrib> wiredless: give us more info.  What are you trying to install exactly?
[14:11] <userbn> hg
[14:11] <xnv> wiredless: Uh, maybe the package not be designed for i386?

[14:11] <raspac> hI i am trying https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and I dont know how to login as ROOT user. Can you guide me
[14:12] <wiredless> i have just tried to install any package from the list, like an alarm clock but they all say the same
[14:12] <jrib> wiredless: are you using APT?  With apt-get for example: sudo apt-get install emacs21
[14:12] <xnv> wiredless: What does "uname -m" show?
[14:12] <everton137> kuroryuu, how can I try to discover why it's not playing here?
[14:12] <jrib> wiredless: what list...?
[14:12] <wiredless> no im using the package programme in ubuntu
[14:13] <pogay> raspac:  open a console - type sudo su (enter your passwd) - then you are in a root console
[14:13] <raspac> Hi Guys. I am trying https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and I dont know how to login as ROOT user. Can you guide me
[14:13] <jrib> !root > raspac (read the private message from ubottu)
[14:13] <jrib> pogay, raspac: use 'sudo -i' if you really need a root shell instead
[14:13] <kuroryuu> everton137: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[14:13] <tonisius> guess the only thing I haven't tried is reinstalling ubuntu
[14:14] <tonisius> what a fail
[14:14] <jrib> wiredless: what happens with the command I gave you?
[14:14] <tonisius> hope I don't delete anything important
[14:14] <jrib> tonisius: have backups
[14:14] <tonisius> jrib: not possible
[14:14] <tonisius> jrib: otherwise this wouldn't be a problem
[14:14] <jrib> tonisius: then your data is not important
[14:14] <everton137> kuroryuu, it is already installed
