[12:12] <nubuntu> i installed trident video driver and i'm still limited on screen resolution to 800x600
[12:12] <cj_> could someone possibly give me a hand with sharing files across windows and ubuntu? ive tried using samba, but when i goto smb://PCNAME i get all of the shares up, but i cannot access them
[12:12] <erUSUL> cha0n1x: it depends on the filesystem and the type of image you are handling ... you may be able to mount it
[12:12] <luiz_delphi> how install Kylix ???
[12:12] <Xecuter> hi! Is there any way to set my audiocards in order without .asoundrc?
[12:13] <cha0n1x> erUSUL: I tried mounting it from an offset but it returns a "NTFS invalid signature" error (I can use fls to list the files on it, so I know they're there. I just need to get them off that image hehe :( )
[12:13] <erUSUL> Xecuter: with module parameters
[12:13] <erUSUL> Xecuter: ?
[12:13] <DJCMay> i've got a problem. after installing ubuntu and grub on the computer, windows stops with error 0x000000ed (unmountable boot volume). i believe, there is a problem the the mbr, but i don't wanna fix it via windows, because i don't know how to start ubuntu afterwards
[12:14] <xanax`> hello
[12:14] <Toznoshio> DJCMay, look into a piece of software called supergrubdisk
[12:14] <drenz> how to remove directory on ubntu?
[12:14] <drenz> in terminal
[12:14] <cd> drenz: rmdir
[12:14] <Xecuter> erUSUL, i dunno ^^, thats why i'm asking :P
[12:14] <cd> drenx it has to be empty first
[12:14] <bazhang> gluer, best to use gksudo for gui apps
[12:15] <DJCMay> Toznoshio: thx
[12:15] <gluer> bahang: why?
[12:15] <gluer> z
[12:15] <bazhang> !gksudo
[12:15] <bazhang> gluer^^
[12:15] <drenz> cd i try to remove something and say rmdir: cstrike: Directory not empty
[12:15] <drenz> drenz@drenz-desktop:/usr/hlds$
[12:15] <Flynsarmy> Sometimes when i drag-drop files in nautilus it lags for a while then greyes out and a dialog pops up asking me if i want to retry, skip or cancel. Is this common? I think it has to do with the file being dragged over the locations in the left side of nautilus before it reaches the main window
[12:15] <IndyGunFreak> DJCMay: i woudl delete grub, then use either super grub disk, or the live CD to reinstall grub..
[12:15] <IndyGunFreak> !grub | DJCMay follow the instructions for losing grub..
[12:16] <erUSUL> Xecuter: sound drivers accept an index=n parameter try that editting /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base (adding lines for your cards)
[12:16] <drenz> cd?
[12:16] <ariqs> you know, this is a lot of messing around just to see a few sensor readings
[12:16] <cd> drenz the directory needs to be empty first
[12:17] <drenz> but how to delete all
[12:17] <cd> just use the command rm -rf instead of rmdir if you want to remove the directory and its contents
[12:17] <gluer> bazhang: cheers, the other way has worked fine for me until now though..lol
[12:17] <bazhang> :)
[12:17] <cha0n1x> erUSUL: The dd image is of an ntfs hard-drive, and I can view the files using fls, but I need to be able to extract the contents within that drive :( )
[12:18]  * Vezir sighs
[12:18] <pwet> salut, truc tout bete: je fais chmod 777 sur un repertoire qui contient un repertoire. Comment faire pour que le repertoire contenu voit aussi ces droit d acces modifies?
[12:18] <Vezir> reinstalling 8.04
[12:18] <erUSUL> cha0n1x: of the entire hard drive or of the partition only? maybe the offse you used with mount is wrong becouse of the difference
[12:18] <cd> that work ok drenz?
[12:18] <bazhang> pwet, /j #ubuntu-fr
[12:18] <ariqs> if I ever write something for linux that's useful, i'm going to pay back all the other devs for their junk and make it annoying to use as well :p
[12:18] <gluer> bazhang: so running gksudo is the correct way?
[12:19] <bazhang> gluer, for gui stuff yes :)
[12:19] <cha0n1x> erUSUL: The image is of the entire hard-drive - how would I find out the correct offset? as I said I've used fls and the offset of 63 was correct. What would be different in mount?
[12:19] <gluer> bazhang: oh
[12:19] <gluer> hehehe

[12:22] <newb> any one using Ubuntu Hardy on a Dell Vostro Laptop over here?

[12:32] <jindal> Hi, my 5.1 surround sound is working .. internal speakers as front speakers, with rear/center/LFE of sound system ... but as i plugin (the previously unplugged) front speakers jack .. only the front ones work .. rest 4 go mute .. any ideas? (am on hardy heron on Dell XPS 1330)
[12:33] <amews_aj> Am I totally wrong, or is ubuntu still very time demanding in installing a lot of stuff? Take a look at this guide (6 pages!! for a "simple" theme). http://www.howtoforge.com/mac4lin_make_linux_look_like_a_mac
[12:33] <mole112> Anywho anyone knows a way to run a script after the resuming from suspend after the user has logged on
[12:33] <mole112> ?
[12:33] <chriswr> how do i install a .bin file?
[12:34] <jindal> mole112: probably /etc/acpi/resume.d/
[12:34] <mole112> nope
[12:34] <mole112> this will do it prior to the gnome run
[12:35] <chriswr> how do i install a .bin file?
[12:35] <mole112> I need to run it after the user have logged on in gnome
[12:35] <jindal> ohh .. don't know about gnome .. kde has a .Autostart
[12:35] <mole112> chriswr it depends on the bin  file
[12:36] <dmacnutt> amews_aj: doesn't seem all that "simple"
[12:36] <mole112> jindal gnome has .autosart as well but gnome doesn't run the autostart script after resuming from suspend
[12:36] <amews_aj> dmacnutt: You can get themes for windows which includes just as many changes, in a simple .exe installation file
[12:36] <amews_aj> Why so complicated to do on ubuntu
[12:37] <jindal> where are the experts? :)
[12:37] <mole112> I can mostly help
[12:38] <shahar> i installed ubuntu 8.04
[12:38] <gluer> its not complicated, it just requires intelligence!
[12:38] <jindal> my sound problem? (above)
[12:38] <mole112> What is the problem
[12:38] <koshari> amews_aj thats a little more than a theme, its a theme, custom panel and  window decorator . the equiv in windows would be running a new shell.
[12:38] <hiptobecubic> i just tried to install VisualBoyAdvance-gtk but i can't find the gui anywhere and i can't find the command to start it from the terminal. Is there a way to know exactly what/where aptitude installed files?
[12:38] <jindal> Hi, my 5.1 surround sound is working .. internal speakers as front speakers, with rear/center/LFE of sound system ... but as i plugin (the previously unplugged) front speakers jack .. only the front ones work .. rest 4 go mute .. any ideas? (am on hardy heron on Dell XPS 1330)
[12:38] <dmacnutt> amews_aj: to weed out the complainers :)   someone could probably build a package of some sort, but the differences between the linux distros would make such a thing big and unwieldy
[12:38] <w_> jaki problem?
[12:39] <mole112> jindal do you know the sound card
[12:39] <dmacnutt> just buy a mac :) they are decent enough and you can change themes easy
[12:39] <amews_aj> But this is the case with a lot of stuff on ubuntu, cmds, cmds, cmds, cmds
[12:39] <mole112> I think its intel hda
[12:40] <amews_aj> dmacnutt: I'd like to try a mac before buying it, unfortunately, that is not possible
[12:40] <Pici> amews_aj: Themes are very easy to install, the particular url you linked to is not just a theme, it replaces a lot of 'core' gnome things.
[12:40] <Pici> !changethemes | amews_aj
[12:40] <dmacnutt> amews_aj: it seems you want an "Easy Button" linux doesn't have many
[12:40] <jindal> mole112: yes its intel_hda
[12:40] <amews_aj> Pici: Yes, but what this theme does,you can get the same in windows much easier
[12:40] <anisfarhana>  i have problem with ftp (proftpd) , i cannot login into ftp ( error log is : Unable to open file /etc/passwd , permission denied) , does anyone know how to solve this ?
[12:40] <gluer> amews_aj: just go to an apple store
[12:40] <dmacnutt> amews_aj: linux is not windows
[12:40] <Pici> amews_aj: Then use windows.
[12:40] <Pici> !offtopic
[12:40] <mole112> jindal : ok so the front jack is SPDIF
[12:41] <jindal> mole112: oki then
[12:41] <mole112> You can plug 5.1 system through that
[12:41] <koshari> amews_aj how do you ping or get your ipconfig on windows?
[12:41] <amews_aj> Pici: I will, but it just annoys me, I like to try out new stuff, but ubuntu is like annoying me every time. Every time I boot it up to do something, I spend hours following guides to make something work, then it never really worked, and I shutdown the pc.
[12:41] <jindal> mole112: any link or reason?
[12:41] <amews_aj> koshari: cmd yes, but I never use commandline to install stuff
[12:41] <dmacnutt> amews_aj: you are expecting it to be like windows, and it never will be
[12:41] <vierranet> amews_aj how do you ping or get your ipconfig on windows? USE IFCONFIG
[12:42] <mole112> jindal : The thing that happens is that externall speakers override the system ones
[12:42] <mole112> jindal : so when you plug the ex speakers the internal ones stop working
[12:42] <koshari> amews_aj you doont have to, ever heard of synaptic, its just a lot of the time its easier to press alt f and paste a command in
[12:42] <Pici> amews_aj: If you want to discuss this, the best place would be #ubuntu-offtopic, however, if you have a specific support question, go ahead and ask here.
[12:43] <amews_aj> Please copy a file from there to there on ubuntu, sorry permission denied, you have to use sudo cp commands. Windows would ask you for verification, and so will mac.
[12:43] <mole112> jindal : you can plug an SPDIF compatible speakers
[12:43] <ariqs> I noticed that my cpu runs hotter in ubuntu than it does in windows xp. Any ideas why that would be?
[12:43] <amews_aj> koshari: Yes, but certainly not everything is there!
[12:43] <koshari> ariqs summer?
[12:43] <ariqs> i just compared them with same environment temp, koshari
[12:44] <jindal> mole112: am using a 2 to 6 channel connector otherwise .. but can't i configure to not-mute anyhow? (as the card is already splitting the 6 channels)
[12:44] <Marco> what is better ? Mac or Linux ?
[12:44] <koshari> ariqs  check the cpu load on each programm, you may have scrollkeeper or some other service doing something in the background,
[12:44] <Pici> Marco: #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:44] <amews_aj> mac
[12:45] <xanax`> Linux > Mac
[12:45] <koshari> amews_aj try copying a file from another users dir in windows and see how far you get without logging in with an administrative privelidge
[12:45] <amews_aj> Compatibility Win>Mac>Linux,      Look and feel Mac>Win>Linux
[12:45] <dmacnutt> wrong place for this discussion
[12:45] <amews_aj> koshari: Vista would simply ask you to enter password, linux want you to use commands
[12:46] <NeoSanity[Linux]> because Linux isn't developed for the computing idiot
[12:46] <gluer> lol
[12:46] <Xecuter> lol
[12:46] <jindal> mole112: this mute in SPDIF imposed by hardware or kernel driver? (snd_hda_intel mod)
[12:46] <Pici> This is not the Windows channel, this is not the Mac channel.  This is not the linux channel, this is the Ubuntu Support channel.  Move the discussion to ##linux, ##windows, ##mac or #ubuntu-offtopic.  Last warning.
[12:46] <NeoSanity[Linux]> it's developed for someone that knows a bit about the computer
[12:46] <mole112> Jindal : its in the hardware abstract layer
[12:46] <koshari> amews_aj well i cant see that vista is to fun when its users would prefer to be flaming on a linux forum
[12:47] <amews_aj> Why spend 10 secs doing something instead of using 1 sec, and the rest 9 to do something more productive
[12:47] <gluer> vista molests your computer
[12:47] <gluer> lol
[12:47] <NeoSanity[Linux]> Vista loves your hard disc
[12:47] <mole112> jindal: Basicly the problem is that you need SPDIF speaker system
[12:47] <NeoSanity[Linux]> installing all those uneccisary language files
[12:47] <shahar> i installed ubuntu 8.04 and i several times a day i've got an issue with the X that sometimes i can't run new programs in X not even gnome-terminal and i must reboot X for it to work. any ideas ?
[12:47] <amews_aj> koshari: I actually just asked the question to see if someone immediatly said, you can just do this and that. But someone said, then use windows, and then I have to explain why and why not. I did not came here to flame on you.
[12:48] <dmacnutt> I used vista once, it asked for my password every 10 seconds
[12:48] <Pici> !windows
[12:48] <Xecuter> i apparently have 3 audiocards; echo mia (snd_mia), HDA ATI SB (snd_hda_intel?), and HDA ATI HDMI (??). How can i figure out the last module?
[12:48] <mole112> shahar : can you please describe the problem a bit more
[12:49] <amews_aj> dmacnutt: 1. You can disable, 2. Linux does the same, well no, you have to do it manually AFTER it says PERMISSION DENIED!    Pici, sorry, but had to answer to those statements. EOD.
[12:49] <mole112> shahar: what happens . is the screen goes black, does X crashes
[12:49] <burn_> hi guys, was wondering if i could install Ubuntu Mobile on my O2 xda stealth
[12:51] <Pici> burn_: I don't believe that Ubuntu Mobile is in a release form yet.  You'd be better off asking for more info in #ubuntu-mobile though.
[12:51] <mole112> This damn intel hda controler is a pain
[12:51] <Vezir> haha!
[12:51] <hwilde> !mobile | Pici
[12:51] <burn_> Pici: thanks man

[12:53] <shahar> thanks for your support. X does not crash at all. i still taking to you from X, i have eclipse opened and several other applications, but i can't open anything else
[12:54] <ariqs> what's a good program in linux to use for testing hardware stability? Like prime95 in windows..
[12:54] <shahar> i can click ctrl+alt+f1 and go back to console and to work properly, but in X i cannot start new applications. as a workaround i can restart X, but i prefer.. to resolve it
[12:56] <ariqs> what's a good program in linux to use for testing CPU stability? Like prime95 in windows..
[12:57] <gluer> im still trying to figure out why you would want to make ubuntu look like a mac?

[12:59] <ariqs> thanks
[12:59] <Vezir> it's NTFS
[12:59] <Vezir> it was working before the reinstall
[12:59] <econobeing> wat

[13:00] <pbn> Hi, just installed munin-node on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, and I've set up the IP address of my munin server in /etc/munin/munin-node.conf. However, I can't access the client from the server. Even nmap says all ports are closed ! Any idea ?
[13:00] <econobeing> IIRC, NTFS doesn't have very good support with linux
[13:00] <Vezir> when i installed windows on this machine i didnt epxect a dualboot\
[13:01] <econobeing> if you're fortunate enough to have an external, back everything up with it. i never had any read problems with it
[13:01] <Vezir> i have every drive i own hooked up
[13:01] <Vezir> besides my 125 gb or so in laptop hdds
[13:01] <econobeing> >_> wat
[13:01] <econobeing> sorry...kinda drunk
[13:02] <mahidhar_> any site 2 listen music i m not able 2 play in www.ragalahari.com ..........y so
[13:02] <econobeing> well, if you're trying to dual boot
[13:02] <econobeing> dunno if you are
[13:03] <econobeing> but if you are. it's best to have your linux in a ext2/3 partition, windows in NTFS, then share files between a FAT32
[13:03] <Vezir> definitely am
[13:03] <Rocky_IV> I just installed Ubuntu ,,, I got sick and tired of living in a Proprietary Microsoft World
[13:04] <Vezir> i pirate everything
[13:04] <Vezir> keeps it nice and free
[13:04] <econobeing> when i dual booted, i had all my music/videos/etc on the FAT32. i kept my OS dedicated (NTFS/ext3) to a minimum size
[13:04] <econobeing> maybe it's cause i'm drunk...but i pirate a lot of stuff too <_<
[13:04] <db92> whats a good sound editing program?
[13:04] <Rocky_IV> Well we don't need to be pirates with linux, since its open source
[13:04] <Vezir> nah, smart people pirate
[13:04] <db92> something equivalent to nero wave editor for example :P
[13:04] <Luke7711> hi guys I can't figure out this thing: I added a new HDD partitioned as one big partition, ubuntu 8.04 x86 recognizes it as sdc1 and it works fine. The only problem is that I don't know how to generate an UID for it so I can add it to /etc/fstab without rpoblems (hoipefully). Adding it as /dev/sdc1 gives me problems at bootup
[13:04] <Toznoshio> db92, audacity
[13:05] <econobeing> but generally people frown upon saying as such
[13:05] <Rocky_IV> which is nice
[13:05] <Vezir> the stupid ones shell out $800 for a glorified ms paint
[13:05] <gluer> econobeing: pls join #drunk
[13:05] <db92> Toznoshio, kk
[13:05] <cwillu> !illegal
[13:05] <econobeing> joined
[13:05] <Rocky_IV> I was running Vista Ultimate with the lastest beta software apps
[13:05] <Toznoshio> Luke7711, look under /dev/disk/by-uuid
[13:05] <ariqs> Vezir: that depends, the people that pirate and then end up being sued for thousands probably don't feel so smart
[13:06] <Rocky_IV> But i got sick and tired of nagging Windowz updates
[13:06] <koshari> db92 audacity
[13:06] <ariqs> Vezir: there is also the moral issue. Pirating isn't exactly a "smart" thing
[13:06] <db92> how can i config recording with oss? <> both through microphone and recording sound from stuff i find on the internet etc.
[13:06] <lesergi> how can I set xgd-open command?? i want to use firefox instead konqueror
[13:06] <econobeing> gluer: empty. aim?
[13:06] <Vezir> ariqs, it's in my blood, what can i say. i was raised to be a rulebreaker.
[13:06] <gluer> econobeing: that was my point
[13:06] <gluer> lol
[13:07] <Raz0R> if i just deleted a load of stuff as root, where will it have gone?
[13:07] <Raz0R> in the trash?
[13:07] <econobeing> D: not fair to mess with a drunk person
[13:07] <Rocky_IV> I feel much more free using Linux
[13:07] <ariqs> vezir: I pirate too, but I'm not deluded enough to think it has anything to do with intelligence.
[13:07] <koshari> db92 use pulseaudio
[13:07] <Vezir> someone's high and mighty
[13:07] <gluer> econobeing: well im an alcoholic, not fair to mention drinking to me either
[13:07] <gluer> lol
[13:07] <Vezir> i guess you could say gthat what i said was too though
[13:07] <Rocky_IV> plux no more antivirus software is required.........and all the maintenance time it takes
[13:07] <db92> koshari, if pulseaudio is compatible with all the hardware oss is, then that could work
[13:08] <econobeing> gluer: why? wanna drink?
[13:08] <db92> koshari, else, im stuck with oss :PP
[13:08] <gordonjcp> db92: uhm, oss is dead
[13:08] <db92> gordonjcp, hy nice to let me know
[13:08] <koshari> db92: pulseaudio is a layer , so you could use the oss utput and route it through pulseaudio
[13:08] <gordonjcp> db92: it was superseded about a decade ago
[13:08] <db92> gordonjcp, if you are in the mood for further oss vs alsa debating you can try adding x-fi support to it and then we'll compare :P
[13:08] <Rocky_IV> I can do everything in Ubuntu I did in microsoft
[13:08] <gordonjcp> db92: bleah, x-fi, get a real sound card
[13:09] <Rocky_IV> No product keys required
[13:09] <db92> gordonjcp, my card is none of your business :Pp
[13:09] <econobeing> i was able to do everything i was able to in MS
[13:09] <koshari> Rocky_IV i cant ....yet
[13:09] <econobeing> but i'll be damned if it was a pain in the ass
[13:09] <db92> koshari, sounds like tech jargon to the unexperienced
[13:09] <Rocky_IV> No addware dedirecting my Browser
[13:09] <Rocky_IV> its great
[13:09] <econobeing> enjoying me some ubuntu right now
[13:09] <gordonjcp> db92: seriously, the x-fi cards are very very badly supported in Linux, and aren't that good anyway
[13:09] <koshari> db92 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PulseAudio
[13:10] <Rocky_IV> I installed skype in Ubuntu
[13:10] <db92> good to let me know, now i need some practical solutions to the problem at hand :/
[13:10] <econobeing> that was one of my major problems, skype
[13:10] <cwillu> koshari, he's referring to actual oss for hardware support, not the need to support legacy apps that only support oss
[13:10] <cwillu> afaict
[13:10] <econobeing> wifi was #1 though
[13:10] <Rocky_IV> so this really helps with communications for Team Leaders of my personal web site
[13:11] <Luke7711> Toznoshio:  got it, thx
[13:11] <econobeing> i've been having a hell of a time with wifi on my other laptop
[13:11] <Rocky_IV> I'll give you the Skype version
[13:11] <econobeing> it can detect the wifi card i have on linux and windows. but it can't use it...
[13:11] <gordonjcp> db92: practical solution?  go to the nearest computer shop, spend a fiver on the first soundcard that comes to hand, take it home, fit it, and enjoy working sound
[13:11] <db92> :\
[13:12] <Rocky_IV> skype-debian_<IP_ADDRESS>-1_i386,deb
[13:12] <econobeing> been trying to get my friend to do that... he hasn't had sound in like 2 years
[13:12] <JC_Denton_> when starting my ubuntu machine I'm getting a 'ata drdy' errors. has my hard disk crashed??

[13:13] <Rocky_IV> video conferencing in Skype for Ubuntu
[13:14] <cwillu> econobeing, what wireless chipset?
[13:14] <cwillu> ("lspci | grep -i net" should tell you)
[13:15] <econobeing> cwilu: broadcom
[13:15] <econobeing> that's for my dell, which i actually got working. my toshiba i never got working
[13:15] <Rocky_IV> I had one major problem.........The integrated video card in my PC crashed Ubuntu Hardy 8.10 as soon as I logged on
[13:16] <Rocky_IV> So to simplify things.......... I installed Ubuntu Gutsy
[13:16] <cwillu> Rockj, 8.10?
[13:16] <cwillu> econobeing, which broadcom?
[13:16] <Rocky_IV> Opps sorry its onboard integrated video
[13:16] <cwillu> run that command, and tell me bcm****
[13:16] <cspacematrix> hey folks
[13:16] <econobeing> uhh <_< how do i check? (sorry drunk)
[13:16] <Rocky_IV> ATI crap
 ("lspci | grep -i net" should tell you)
[13:17] <cwillu> Rocky_IV, you meant 8.10, or 8.04?
[13:17] <cwillu> you deserve no sympathy if you had problems with 8.10 :p
[13:17] <econobeing> bmc4311 airforce 54g
[13:17] <Rocky_IV> Yea I guess its 8.04
[13:18] <cwillu> econobeing, install b43-fwcutter via synaptic
[13:18] <econobeing> i dunno what i did
[13:18] <Rocky_IV> I'm using Using 7.10
[13:18] <Rocky_IV> Gutsy
[13:18] <econobeing> i installed ubuntu a few months ago, the newest one, and it works
[13:18] <drtorres> Hey. anybody who knows to configure wifi of acer laptop
[13:18] <adi_smg> hay
[13:18] <econobeing> i think it came with a functionality for "restricted drivers" or something
[13:19] <econobeing> i gave it the drivers and it worked
[13:19] <cwillu> econobeing, okay.  b43-fwcutter will get nearly any broadcom device working properly
[13:19] <cspacematrix> i saw something which amazed me alittle, my system is AMD 64 turion 1.9GHz but i installed a 32bit gutsy and when i looked at cat /proc/cpuinfo, it's says my cpu speed is 800
[13:19] <cspacematrix> is that normal?
[13:19] <cwillu> without ndiswrapper
[13:19] <Rocky_IV> Well the stupid ATI Xpress integrated onboard chip crashes Hardy 8.04
[13:19] <econobeing> it may have used ndiswrapper
[13:19] <econobeing> i'm used to using ndiswrapper
[13:20] <drtorres> I used ubuntu 8.04. my wifi doesn't work
[13:20] <econobeing> but i did it with some sort of point+click interface
[13:20] <Rocky_IV> I didn't bother with a work-around due to time restrictions
[13:20] <cwillu> drtorres, open a terminal, type "lspci|grep -i net", and tell me what chipset the wireless is
[13:20] <econobeing> 7.10 i had to do a bunch of cmd stuf to get it to work. that's actually what i was used to. but i got it going on 8.04
[13:21] <econobeing> i think it used fwcutter instead of ndiswrapper? i dunno
[13:21] <cwillu> Rocky_IV, wasn't just the livecd that crashed under 8.04 was it?
[13:21] <GOJU1> :D
[13:21] <GOJU1> siema xD
[13:21] <GOJU1> ssss
[13:21] <cwillu> econobeing, b43-fwcutter is what you'd want to use, but ya
[13:21] <Rocky_IV> I even tried the 64 bit version of Hardy.....Still crashes video instantly taking me back to login window
[13:21] <cspacematrix> hello? people, anyone?
[13:21] <iren> hiiiiiiiiii
[13:22] <cspacematrix> why the ubuntu shows my system's cpu speed very low?
[13:22] <Pici> cspacematrix: It depends whether the CPU was under load or not.
[13:22] <Rocky_IV> hello spacemetrix
[13:22] <econobeing> IIRC pre 7.10 people were whining about fwcutter cause it only allowed a/b speeds on a g connection
[13:22] <cspacematrix> no it was free of load
[13:22] <cspacematrix> i installed a 64bit debian and speed was correct, 1.9GHz
[13:22] <cspacematrix> but this ubuntu shows 800Mhz
[13:22] <drtorres> Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[13:22] <Rocky_IV> I find my network download is 33% faster in Linux
[13:23] <cspacematrix> could it be the 32 os
[13:23] <Rocky_IV> >> goodbye Microsoft
[13:23] <cspacematrix> ?
[13:23] <garotooo0> a alguem fala brasileiro ai
[13:23] <Pici> cspacematrix: Run something that requires cpu usage, and then try again.
[13:23] <Pici> !br | garotooo0
[13:24] <cspacematrix> ok
[13:24] <garotooo0> !br | garotooo0
[13:24] <Pici> cspacematrix: I installed and ran 'pi 500000 ; cat /proc/cpuinfo'
[13:24] <Rocky_IV> I'll have 30% more time to be productive.......cause network download speed is much better in UNIX
[13:24] <cwillu> cspacematrix, iirc, the speed is load sensitive
[13:25] <cspacematrix> ok, but still says 800MHz
[13:25] <jinda1> how to find the board model, of my snd_hda_intel card ?
[13:25] <cspacematrix> but my debian shows it correct
[13:25] <sebastian> how do i add more desktops?
[13:25] <econobeing> right click
[13:25] <db92> i have a sweex wc040 that cant get recognized by any applications of mine and easycam2 wont support it, lsusb gives ID 2770:930b NHJ, Ltd CCD Webcam(PC370R). any clues?
[13:25] <Rocky_IV> I know Microsoft degraded network speed by 25% for their Windows updates crap
[13:25] <Rocky_IV> Happy on Ubuntu
[13:26] <sebastian> thx
[13:26] <sebastian> and how can i do so i have a desktop cube and not arrows when changing desktop?
[13:26] <Pici> !cube | sebastian
[13:26] <econobeing> god i hope i'm not hungover tomorrow... i don't know how much that e dehydratd me, now i'm drinking alcohol, more dehydration
[13:27] <Rocky_IV> Does anyone know here if the desktop icon size can be changed?
[13:27] <andy_js_> where do I modify the services that start when my computer boots?
[13:27] <Toznoshio> Rockj, yes, in Nautilus preferences
[13:27] <econobeing> right click the icon
[13:27] <Rocky_IV> Thanks tonoshio
[13:27] <cd> andy_js_ this can be found in system >> preferences >> sessions
[13:27] <Soopa> hey all, is there a virtual CD app for linux that will mount an iso?
[13:28] <Soopa> like Alcohol 120% does in windows
[13:28] <prymal> where's the best place to get support on wine?!
[13:28] <Toznoshio> Soopa, I think AcetoneISO does that
[13:28] <Raz0R> can anyone tell me how i can view the conents of /root/.Trash?
[13:28] <Soopa> prymal: Have you tried http://www.winehq.org?
[13:28] <skyfire> hi, anyone knows how I can update by gpg key for hardy? I can't update cause of a gpg error.
[13:28] <Soopa> Toznoshio: thanks :-)
[13:29] <cwillu> Soopa, if you just need to browse the files, just right click it and hit browse with archive manager
[13:29] <skyfire> RazoR: have you tried sudo /root/.Trash?
[13:29] <Soopa> cwillu: I want to mount an iso so I can use a windows installer with wine
[13:29] <Raz0R> skyfire
[13:29] <Raz0R> no
[13:29] <Raz0R> :)
[13:29] <Raz0R> ty
[13:29] <praet> !ubuntubots
[13:30] <econobeing> sudo ls /root/.Trash
[13:30] <econobeing> ?
[13:30] <Raz0R> its ok i had to do ls -a
[13:30] <praet> Is there an irc bot that monitors topic changes and updates a wiki?
[13:30] <Toznoshio> Soopa, also if you are comfortable using the command line, there is a quicker option
[13:30] <Rocky_IV> Hurray ....... No more Vista crashes
[13:30] <cwillu> Soopa, could just extract the files, otherwise, "sudo mount /path/to/file.iso /location/to/mount/it iso9660 -o loop" will do it
[13:30] <Soopa> Toznoshio: yeah, command line would be better actually
[13:31] <skyfire> anyone knows how I can update the gpg key for hardy? I can't update cause of a gpg error?
[13:31] <Soopa> cwillu: oh nice!  I didn't know you could just mount it :-)
[13:31] <Xecuter> i only have audio from amarok, not totem or firefox (youtube)... how come?
[13:31] <PERSING> LOW
[13:31] <Pici> skyfire: What is the exact error?
[13:31] <B|ackPanther> Is there a book that can help me learn the my linux System ?
[13:32] <skyfire> Pici: I actually deleted the key cause it refused to update. Key was invalid.. now I can't find out how to re import the key.
[13:32] <Rocky_IV> Since Windows XP has ended XP availibility of licenses..........I can see a lot of people installing Ubuntu
[13:32] <Rocky_IV> since most people hate Vista
[13:32] <Pici> skyfire: Which repository is the key bor?
[13:32] <Pici> Rocky_IV: If you just want to chat, #ubuntu-offtopic awaits :)
[13:33] <Pici> skyfire: s/bor/for/
[13:33] <skyfire> Pici: you know the one needed for updates?

[13:34] <Rocky_IV> Whats the main difference between Gnome and KDE desktop
[13:35] <Rocky_IV> I'm a newbie
[13:36] <econobeing> KDE is bleh
[13:36] <econobeing> and gnome is awwwwright
[13:37] <Rocky_IV> Some KDE software apps seem to work with gnome
[13:37] <Raz0R> ive managed to cd to root in terminal
[13:37] <Rocky_IV> I guess they both use the same base engine in UNIX
[13:37] <Raz0R> and ive got to .local
[13:37] <skyfire> Rocky: they will as long as the libraries need are installed.
[13:37] <Pici> Rocky_IV: They're different. Some people like KDE, others like Gnome.  They use different graphics toolkits to draw UI elements.  Nearly all programs can be used in either DE (Desktop Environment)
[13:37] <Raz0R> but i cant cd into shared its permission denied

[13:52] <PCessna> I am looking for some progams, not really searching for anything specific..
[13:52] <stdin> :)
[13:52] <Myrtti> PCessna: in that case, check out your synaptic package manager or Add/Remove in your menu
[13:52] <opt1k> is there any video editing program like sony vegas for ubuntu?
[13:52] <Jack_Sparrow> PCessna Just wanted to verify you checked and understand official sources/repos
[13:53] <Myrtti> PCessna: Applications - Add/Remove
[13:53] <Xecuter> or, how can i  change where totem and firefox should play audio?
[13:53] <Pici> PCessna: I agree, Add/Remove is pretty good for finding useful random pieces of software... I've wasted a lot of time in there.

[13:56] <Xecuter> how can i set totem to NOT use pulseaudio?
[13:56] <Pici> skyfire: Try this: Open Synaptic, go to Settings>Repositories. Go to the authentication tab and select restore defaults.
[13:56] <dns53> i'm trying to mount a file system image that i too from a device, ie dd if=/dev/sdb  how do i then get the partition that i want if i try and mount it with something like: mount -o loop img /mnt
[13:56] <PCessna> afk for a few min :P
[13:57] <dns53> Xecuter totem uses the gnome settings, so system, preferences sound
[13:57] <praet> Xecuter: try System > Preferences > Sound
[13:57] <skyfire> Pici: I have tried that... I did add links to get a software called moblock in /etc/apt/sources.list, before this problem started. I'll try commenting it out.
[13:57] <praet> dns53: :D

[13:59] <DonnieDarko> hi is there a way to sync egroupware and evolution via syncml? i tried it to work with syncevolution on hardy
[14:00] <db92> is there an equivalent for what were keystrokes in windows? like alt+numbers to get a specific letter?
[14:00] <gfather1> hello guys
[14:00] <mohkohn> thanks PCessna but I am keen to find a way if it is even possible
[14:01] <gfather1> iv downloaded the desktop version
[14:01] <gfather1> can i install that on a usb ?
[14:01] <gfather1> or a sewcound hardisk should be a better option
[14:01] <mohkohn> The internal dvd-rw failed so I bought an external dvd-rw for a third of the price
[14:01] <Sklasko> USB what?
[14:01] <WillLuongo>  Hello, I have ubuntu running on my Averatec 3270, but the video only goes up to 800x600. Does anyone have any suggestions or links, I tried googling.
[14:01] <dns53> db92 you can change the input method to re map keys but there is not the keybord combination to insert a generic character (i may be wrong)
[14:01] <gfather1> usb flash
[14:01] <Sklasko> It could work
 does it preform good ?
[14:02] <mohkohn> I am discovering the hard way that mac's are expensive to fix
[14:02] <Sklasko> I've never used a setup like that
[14:02] <dns53> gfather1 yes you can, check the ubuntu wiki
 i had rthis problem before, there is another place where u can choose the resolution from

[14:03] <Skyrail> Does an extended partition with logical partitions inside it have much of a performance hit in comparison with a normal partition stored in the MBR?

[14:05] <Skyrail> dns53: ah okay, thank you, I just want to put two linux distros on my PC therefore each can only have two partitions stored in the MBR, and I was wondering whether swap or /boot should have a main partition (the other can go into the extended partition)

[14:06] <db92> anyone knows where i can get drivers for sweex webcams? :/ anything ive found doesnt help :\\\
[14:06] <soneil> Skyrail, mapping that against "this partition starts here and ends here" happens once, at boot, and after that there's no difference between them

[14:07] <WillLuongo> gfather1: What is weird is that no video devices even show up when I run the dpkg-reconfigure
[14:07] <PCessna> one of my favorite parts of ubuntu probably is the GNOME desktop. hmm...
[14:07] <binn> does anyone know why this would happen with a fresh 8.04.1 install: GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5
[14:07] <dns53> Skyrail if you want more than 1 distro install grub on a partition and grub on your mbr, get the distro to chainload the grub on the second
[14:08] <Frogging101> hi

[14:08] <Frogging101> oops
 new laptop ?
[14:09] <umarzuki> bmharsha: set it as default dns IN your modem
[14:09] <vox> ubuntu_: try /dev/sda1 instead of 'sda'
[14:09] <WillLuongo> gfather1: No, actually it's reasonably old... Averatec 3270
 send me the model and ill try to search
[14:09] <Skyrail> dns53: that's just confusing things, I'm not too good with linux, I'm just learning as I go
[14:09] <muntrue> WillLuongo, gfather1 Video options dont show up in the new ubuntu version on reconfigure command..
[14:09] <Pici> ubuntu_: fyi, you can't fsck a mounted partition.
[14:09] <WillLuongo> muntrue: Well that explains it then. lol what do I do instead?
 i see
[14:10] <muntrue> WillLuongo, Yea i had that same problem, What card do you have and whats the problem ?
[14:10] <gfather1> there are 2 places u can change the resolution from in the gui
[14:10] <dns53> Skyrail install the first distro, set it to mount on the mbr, install your second, get it to install on your partition ie /dev/sda1, in your first add an entry to "chainload +1"
[14:10] <dmacnutt> Pici: well you can, it's just a bad idea :)
[14:11] <WillLuongo> muntrue: it is an Averatec 3270, whatever video card comes in that... information is a bit lacking but what i've found is Viachrome
[14:11] <bmharsha> umarzuki: Thanks for the reply, I don't know how to set opendns IP address as my default address in my Modem, is thier any alternative so that we resolve this issue in Ubuntu itself.
[14:11] <Frogging101> How does one increase the size of their Ubuntu partition? I used Wubi to install and I selected 5GB install size, does this mean that I only get 5GB of free space for Ubuntu?
[14:11] <Skyrail> dns53: okay, I'll give it a try, I've messed this up enough times, once more isn't so bad :P
[14:11] <muntrue> WillLuongo, And what issues do you have with it
[14:11] <zhicheng> Hello,everyone?
[14:12] <dmacnutt> Frogging101: you can use gparted to slice out another section of free space and then mount that in linux
[14:12] <WillLuongo> muntrue: It doesn't detect the video card, just uses vga, max resolution is 800x600 which unfortunately doesn't seem compatible with even most of the default apps
[14:12] <zhicheng> 我
[14:12] <Frogging101> What is Gparted?
[14:12] <dmacnutt> Frogging101: but as it stand now, yes you only have 5 gigs
[14:12] <Frogging101> okay
[14:12] <jpds> !cn > zhicheng

[14:12] <zhicheng> 你好。
[14:12] <dmacnutt> gparted is similar to partition magic

[14:13] <Frogging101> Do I install it using Synaptic Package Manager?
[14:13] <Pici> drenz: There is no root password
[14:13] <dmacnutt> drenz: check /etc/passwdd :)
[14:13] <Pici> !root | drenz
[14:14] <ay^> Frogging101: its already installed in most cases
[14:14] <drenz> Pici:  how can i login as root? so
[14:14] <pm2> I'm having some trouble with Kubuntu - latest version, fully up-to-date, kernel 2.6.24-19-386.  Basically, all of the programs running in my laptop will freeze, one-by-one.  That is, one program will freeze, but I'll be able to switch to another program that will work for a few seconds before it freezes, etc.  After about 20 seconds, everything "unfreezes" and goes back to working like normal.  This process repeats approx every 5-8 minutes or so.  The comp
[14:14] <pm2> uter never completely freezes (ie, I can still move the mouse, some buttons still respond, etc.)  Output from dmesg is here: http://dpaste.com/66911/
[14:14] <Frogging101> drenz: And if you change the root password you can't login using it at the login screen
[14:14] <dmacnutt> so if your ldap server fails, and you have no root. how do you login ?
[14:14] <Pici> drenz: Read the link ubottu gave you, sudo -i should sort you out.
[14:14] <jpds> bmharsha: Did you follow the instructions on the OpenDNS site?
[14:14] <ay^> Frogging101: go to System - Administration - Partition editor
[14:15] <Frogging101> drenz:That will give you a command line interface
[14:15] <Frogging101> okay

[14:15] <skyfire> Binn: Hey, try another mirror! I solved my problem when I used my local mirror instead of the US main server.. at least its a temp fix... a wild guess here, but maybe there's something wrong with the main server's gpg key.

[14:15] <drenz> and on display
[14:15] <FloodBot1> drenz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:15] <pm2> Also, depending on which kernel I'm using, the problem can happen more or less frequently.  It also did not start happening until I upgraded to a certain kernel version (sorry, I can't remember which one, but it was probably about 6 months ago)
[14:15] <drenz> but i cant
[14:15] <ganesh_> it encountered some error
[14:15] <ganesh_> can someone help
[14:15] <ay^> Frogging101: but you need to be able to unmount the partition(s) you wish to fiddle with
[14:15] <WillLuongo> muntrue: willluongo.pastebin.com

[14:16] <Sklasko> The Partition Editor isn't installed by default.
[14:17] <skyfire> Frogging101: You'll need to install it... sudo apt-get install gparted.

[14:17] <WillLuongo> muntrue: Sweet, thanks!
[14:17] <zedmachine> Can I ubgrade and change Hardware in the ubuntu system just like plug and play?
[14:17] <Frogging101> Okay, I'll do that
[14:17] <ay^> but otherwise do what skyfire  said Frogging101
[14:17] <skyfire> ay: 8.04 only has gparted on the liveCD
[14:17] <drenz> and one question how can i delete one folder on cd/usr/hlds?
[14:17] <muntrue> WillLuongo, Ill look around for a solution hold on
[14:17] <WillLuongo> muntrue: Thanks so much for your help
[14:18] <drenz> and one question how can i delete one folder on cd/usr/hlds?  i try rmdir dont work and i try rm dont work
[14:18] <WillLuongo> gfather1: Also, thank you for the link and your help, I am reading the link you sent me now
[14:18] <Frogging101> drenz: Be careful with this but it will allow you to browse the filesystem as root: sudo nautilus
[14:18] <ay^> skyfire: how wicked, I was so certain it had always been there in my install, my bad :)
[14:18] <jpds> !gksudo | Frogging101, drenz
[14:19] <Frogging101> rly?
[14:19] <drenz> jpds:  dont work gksudo

[14:19] <Frogging101> Okay ill check that out
 cool :)
[14:19] <muntrue> WillLuongo, Just to be sure, there is no restricted driver available right ?
[14:19] <drenz> thanx ay^
[14:19] <skyfire> ay: haha, I guess the folks at ubuntu assumed that we'll be doing our best not to mess around with our HDDs after installation..
[14:20] <WillLuongo> muntrue: Not that I have been able to find... admittedly I am not very good with synaptic, as most of my experience is apt-get and Adept...
[14:20] <skyfire> WillLuongo: press CTRL + F when in synaptic and search for whatever you need....
[14:20] <WillLuongo> skyfire: Thank you
[14:20] <muntrue> WillLuongo, Check here : System->Administrator->Restricted drivers manager
[14:20] <muntrue> WillLuongo, I also possible found a forum post that will fix your problems

[14:25] <notwist> Hey, how do i check the entire hard disk in Ubuntu for errors? Not just the file system :)
[14:25] <muntrue> WillLuongo, Will have to restart X after that ( just do a complete restart just to be sure ya know )
[14:25] <notwist> microwaver: apt-get install openoffice? :)
[14:25] <muntrue> WillLuongo, Let me know how that worked ou
[14:25] <WillLuongo> muntrue: I will, brb
[14:25] <microwaver> notwist, does'nt work :p. Can't find package
[14:26] <zedmachine> Can I upgrade and change hardware in the ubuntu system just like plug and play in win systems or do I have to reinstall the OS?
[14:26] <Sklasko> No need to reinstall for a hardware change :\
[14:27] <notwist> microwaver: you could try searching for it
[14:27] <microwaver> i've downloaded it from the openoffice.org website
[14:27] <notwist> microwaver: try typing openoffice and then tab or something
[14:27] <microwaver> but then it gives me following error 'Error: Failed to extract the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) files. (exit code 7)
[14:27] <microwaver> '
[14:27] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: It says it is already installed...
[14:27] <notwist> microwaver: its better if you use the .deb repositories

[14:28] <WillLuongo> h
[14:28] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, It is from an older ubuntu version but maybe it will work. Do make sure to back up your xorg.conf tho ..
[14:28] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: ok. Thanks
[14:29] <Pelo> working on my neibourg's computer , setup two account one for the mother one for the daughter,  daughter has no admin access , this is not so good as she's the most likely to play with the comp but mom wants more control,  is there a way to give the daughter access to install/remove apps , without giving her other admin priviledges ?
[14:29] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, muntrue.pastebin.com
[14:29] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: Thanks, I am on it now
[14:29] <notwist> Pelo: not really.. installing programs need admin rights

[14:31] <Baron1984> same effect
[14:31] <darthmarth37|Wk> Right, right.
[14:32] <Baron1984> the difference is, when you get promoted and lack experience needed to do the job

[14:32] <Baron1984> they often weed you out
[14:32] <notwist> Pelo: um.. not giving her admin rights isn't going to stop her from displaying herself in a webcam.
[14:32] <Pelo> notwist, the idea would be to give the daughter access to install games and app but not to access mom's account and to keep mom on top of things if mom needs to cut daughter off the internet

[14:34] <notwist> Pelo: then she doesnt have access to the computer at all
[14:34] <Baron1984> Synaptic is getting killed off
[14:34] <Baron1984> thank god
[14:34] <Pelo> notwist, homework ?
[14:35] <DRebellion> Pelo, just get her to confiscate the etherenet wire/wireless adapter/router power supply/etc
[14:35] <notwist> Baron1984: huh?
[14:35] <dmacnutt> Pelo: if they daughter is wise, it's only a matter of time
[14:35] <Pici> Please keep the offtopic chat in #ubuntu-offtopic.  Ubuntu Support *only* in here.
[14:35] <Baron1984> they're replacing Synaptic with Package Kit
[14:35] <darthmarth37|Wk> They are?  Nice.
[14:35] <Pici> Not Ubuntu discussion, Ubuntu Support.  Thanks.
[14:35] <Muntrue> cr0w_, Did you download the imvu installer ?
[14:35] <notwist> Pelo: I don't see how you think this is going to work. If she has access to the computer physically she CAN access the internet if shes "wise" as you say
[14:35] <Pelo> Baron1984,  but apt will still be there right ?
[14:35] <cr0w_> muntrue yes
[14:35] <niadh> !packagekit
[14:36] <Baron1984> Pelo: Package Kit works with Apt or Yum
[14:36] <Muntrue> cr0w_,  oke open a terminal window and type sudo apt-get install wine
[14:36] <niadh> Oh, well, packagekit is just a front end
[14:36] <niadh> it connects to apt, rpm, conary etc
[14:36] <notwist> Pelo: If she needs homework done she could write it on a goddamn paper or use her mothers account under her supervision. The problem isn't how to configure linux, the problem is how this child needs to be raised
[14:36] <db92> Pelo, just teach the daughter to use the interwebs for "wiser" purposes than whatever you dont want her to do and keep internet on >>
[14:36] <Baron1984> yes, now when DEB can do Deltas, I'll be happy
[14:36] <cr0w_> ok Muntrue..i install wine ..now ?
[14:36] <Muntrue> cr0w_, yes
[14:36] <Pici> Pelo, notwist: This is not Ubuntu related, please keep the chatter in #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:36] <Pelo> notwist, we'Re getting off track I think
[14:36] <Muntrue> cr0w_, tell me when that is done
[14:37] <cr0w_> ok
[14:37] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, are you getting any further with your issue ?
[14:37] <notwist> Pelo: what im trying to say is that there is NO way you can config the computer to let her use it to do homework or whatever and be sure she cant access the internet. Physical access means easy hack
[14:37] <Baron1984> I've wondered why you can't do "Delta Deb's", like a Delta RPM
[14:37] <ShadowofShinobi> you should just let her do whatever she wants. she'll figure it out anyway, she could download a live-cd, then instant admin...
[14:37] <Baron1984> that would be nice
[14:37] <niadh> Does anyone know about the ralink driver and wpa_spk as I am wresting with getting the two to play together and could do with help or a simple 'it's futile give it up' will do.
[14:37] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: I am working on it right now (copying in the xorg.conf)
[14:37] <notwist> Pelo: especially not if you want it to be flexible like she can have internet one week and one not
[14:37] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, :)
[14:38] <gfather1> guys how much space do i need to install ubuntu on a usb flash , 1 gb ?
[14:38] <unavailable> i heard 4
[14:38] <notwist> gfather1: that sounds like a lot
[14:38] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: It is going slowly... is there a way to get rid of the line numbers?
[14:38] <cr0w_> Muntrue ok :D
 allot ?
[14:38] <cr0w_> I have made
[14:39] <notwist> gfather1: depends on how much packages you put in, like open office etc
[14:39] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, scroll down to the text editor on the bottom ;)
[14:39] <ShadowofShinobi> and btw, I was able to get around various OS restrictions/net filter/router issues etc when i was 14. so i don't see why she can't ;)
[14:39] <notwist> gfather1: linux can be everything from tiny to huge
[14:39] <gfather1> i have like 1 gb flash , and the livecd is like 700 + mb ,
[14:39] <DRebellion> gfather1, imo, 1gb is really pushing it. At least 2gb.
[14:39] <dns53> gfather1 install is a strange thing, you could get a minimal for around 300mb but you will not get a gui
[14:39] <gfather1> yes i know that , i want default stuff
[14:39] <Muntrue> cr0w_,  now in the terminal go to the path that you have the invu installer
[14:39] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: Unfortunately I just noticed that after I sent... I then proceeded to slap my forhead
[14:39] <WillLuongo> lol
[14:39] <lothar__> Hi   i have big problem with my E Mail evulation  transferiewrte Mail i can not see in the Postbox
 i thought so
[14:39] <cr0w_> ok
[14:39] <Pelo> notwist, currently the daughter only has basic "user" access, with the mother as the admin,  I just wanted to see if there was a simple way to give the daughter a bit more rope so she can install games and apps herself without having to have her mother log into her account every 10 mintues to do it
[14:40] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, Hehe yea took me awhile to figure that one out too
[14:40] <Muntrue> cr0w_,  tell me when you done that
 it seems i need more for the gui and other stuff :)
[14:40] <notwist> Pelo: what im trying to say is, what is stopping her right now from using the internet in a way that her mother doesnt want?
[14:40] <Muntrue> !usb > gfather1
[14:40] <arthurmaciel> hi
[14:40] <gfather1> i dont want to install it on the same hd i have that have windows
[14:40] <unavailable> gfather1 this page says 1 g http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-usb-bar
[14:40] <DRebellion> Pelo, put an entry in /etc/sudoers that says something along the lines of, this user can have admin privelages only when runing the commands aptitude, apt-get, synaptic.
[14:40] <timmbob> Hi, i am having same trouble with Evolution and the Google Calendar plugin. It seems that i can't manage to get neither read nor write access to my calendars stored at google.
[14:40] <arthurmaciel> how can I change the whole appeareance of hardy? (themes, gdm login screen, background, etc.?)
[14:40] <cr0w_> Muntrue i download the installer now
[14:40] <timmbob> Anyone knows something about this
[14:40] <cr0w_> please wait
[14:40] <ShadowofShinobi> Pelo: she can get root access from a live-cd. you know that, right?
[14:41] <Muntrue> cr0w_, oke :)
[14:41] <Pelo> DRebellion, I'm investigating that
[14:41] <notwist> arthurmaciel: google for "gnome looks" :)
 im cheking it
[14:41] <iratik> How can I tell which device in "/dev/" is the dvd burner ?
[14:41] <Muntrue> cr0w_, when the installer is downloaded you can also right click on it and click : Open with wine
[14:41] <ShadowofShinobi> OS level restrictions don't make any difference for a local user.
[14:41] <inik> Pelo: you need to read about /etc/sudoers file
[14:41] <notwist> ShadowofShinobi Pelo my point exactly. physical access = easy to crack
[14:41] <unavailable> arthurmaciel compiz-fusion, emerald, and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[14:41] <timmbob> Also if a create a Google calendar via the Evo's interface and i check the properties after the creation, it will not even know the username i typed in while creating the calendar
[14:41] <cr0w_> i can close the terminal ?
[14:41] <Muntrue> cr0w_, sure
[14:42] <notwist> anyway, does anyone know how i can check my entire harddrive without having to boot from a live cd? like fsck
[14:42] <notwist> the laptop im on is acting weird and id like to check the entire disc, but i cant unmount it while im using it
[14:42] <gfather1> guys would u recomend i get another hd and install on it ubuntu , the same mashine that has windows ?
[14:42] <DRebellion> notwist, you can't check a disk that is mounted. You have to boot off a different drive.
[14:42] <notwist> gfather1: you could install with wubi?
[14:42] <arthurmaciel> sorry. I asked about changing ubuntu theme (gdm screen, wallpaper, windows borders, etc.). Is there a GUI program to do that?
[14:42] <Muntrue> gfather1, You can also use VMware
[14:42] <wols> question about wubi: does it write grub to the MBR or does it boot via boot.ini?
[14:42] <unavailable> gfather1 you can dual boot install without wubi
[14:43] <ShadowofShinobi> gfather1: you could just repartition your current disk, if you have some free space. in my experience qtparted works wonderfully on NTFS :)
[14:43] <unavailable> gfather1 how big is your hdd?
[14:43] <cr0w_> ok now install imVu :D
[14:43] <gfather1> 80 gb
[14:43] <Muntrue> cr0w_, so it is working ?
[14:43] <unavailable> how much free?
[14:43] <inik> notwist: you can do init 1 or boot single
[14:43] <notwist> DRebellion: ok ill get a live cd then
[14:43] <cr0w_> yes
[14:43] <niadh> arthurmaciel: Use apperence in the gnome system->preferences menu
[14:43] <Pelo> ShadowofShinobi, I know, but options are limited rigth now and we are getting off track
[14:43] <notwist> inik: meaning?
[14:43] <cr0w_> wine is an emulation of windows ?
[14:43] <inik> yees
[14:43] <Muntrue> cr0w_, Wine is a windows simulation. check www.winehq.org for applications that work with wine
[14:43] <gfather1> like 10 , but i change the space allot , downlaod and delete stuff
[14:44] <DRebellion> gfather1, split it in half, 40gb for ubuntu and 40 gb for windows. that's plenty. Or, you could do 20gb for ubuntu and 20gb for windows and 40gb formatted in FAT or someting for shared storage.
[14:44] <unavailable> cr0w_ wine    (wine is not an emulator)
[14:44] <arthurmaciel> niadh: thanks
[14:44] <lunaris> someone free for a few minutes?
[14:44] <Muntrue> cr0w_, not everything works on it but alot does..
[14:44] <cr0w_> ok
[14:44] <cr0w_> thanks
[14:44] <cr0w_> i go away now
[14:44] <gfather1> i dont want virtualization , becouse im gonna use it for developing , and i hate virtualization
[14:44] <unavailable> gfather1   remember  SCANDISK DEFRAG SCANDISK
[14:44] <cr0w_> bye
[14:44] <FloodBot1> cr0w_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:44] <Muntrue> cr0w_, no problem
[14:44] <Muntrue> cr0w_, bye
[14:44] <DRebellion> notwist, get a tiny livecd that is specifically for checking/formatting disks.
[14:44] <ShadowofShinobi> Pelo: well anyway, good luck with your efforts. hopefully it will give the mother a false sense of security and so she'll ease up on her daughter. ;)
[14:44] <Pelo> got some reading to do , later folks
[14:45] <lunaris> Muntrue are you free to help me?
[14:45] <unavailable> gfather1  if you are going to split your partitions up, DEFRAG DEFRAG DEFRAG          its the most important part
[14:45] <Muntrue> lunaris, I can always try
 i have some media stuff on windows wich takes allot of space , its gonna be a troubles to partetion that thing
[14:45] <Farajamo> Anyone think they can lend me a hand? I partitioned my disk (which had XP on it), and installed Ubuntu.... but now I can't load up XP...
[14:45] <DRebellion> gfather1, fair enough, then getting another hard drive is a good suggestion.
 i dont think im gonna partetion
[14:45] <lunaris> Muntrue : I have problem with my sata hdd...It wont auto mount
[14:45] <lothar__> Hallo ich brauche mal eure HILFE habe mit evulozion Mail ein kleines aber blödes problem. d Die Mailserver nehmen mein Passwort  nicht an habe schon die POP einstellungen und meine Zugangsdaten geprüft   alles OK  wenn er das Passwort annoimt werden dioe Mails angeblich runtergeladen, sind aber nicht im Posteingangsfach zu sehen. tritt erst seit einpaar tagen auf. was muss ich machen?? Danke
[14:45] <dmacnutt> ShadowofShinobi: should have ask on which porn website
[14:45] <lunaris> Muntrue : maybe I've made a mistake somewhere
[14:45] <wols> !de | lothar__
[14:45] <unavailable> gfather1 well if you defrag your disk before partitioning there will be no problems
[14:46] <Muntrue> lunaris, Ouch, hate to say I dont really know alot about that. can you manually mount it ?
[14:46] <cleus> !tr | cleus
[14:46] <lunaris> Muntrue : Yeas,I can do that from terminal
 yes its seems the most speed and clean way to get ubuntu on my mashin
[14:46] <Muntrue> lunaris, But you want it to auto mount every reboot right ?
[14:46] <lunaris> Muntrue, yes
[14:46] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: It looks like we are in business
[14:47] <Muntrue> lunaris, You can add that terminal line to the boot file. that would be the fastest fix i know of
[14:47] <lunaris> Muntrue, Can you give the command?
[14:47] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, So glad to hear that..
[14:47] <Muntrue> lunaris, I sure can, but hold on for a second i will be back in a few minutes
[14:47] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: Thanks for all of your help, I really appreciate it
[14:48] <lunaris> Muntrue, Ok
[14:48] <WillLuongo> gfather1: Thankk you as well, I appreciate your time
[14:48] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, No problem at all.
 hay , its cool m8
[14:48] <gfather1> did u fix it ?
[14:48] <WillLuongo> gfather1: Yeah, muntrue found an xorg.conf for someone with the same video card, and now I am all set. :D
[14:48] <WillLuongo> On to breaking the next thing! ;)

[14:51] <nickrud> Daisuke_Ido good guess :)
[14:51] <lunaris> yes
[14:51] <Daisuke_Laptop> lunaris: mount point's correct, options correct?
[14:51] <Daisuke_Laptop> (ie. it doesn't say "noauto")

[14:52] <NeoSanity[Linux]> sort of like a btach file on WIndows?
[14:52] <wh0Dat> xfce4 or gnome
[14:52] <lunaris> Daisuke_Laptop, Am I wrong somewhere
[14:52] <Daisuke_Laptop> get rid of noauto.  that tells it NOT to automatically mount
[14:52] <Daisuke_Laptop> you're probably safe with defaults
[14:52] <nickrud> wh0Dat for gnome (assuming you're running no other wm)  gnome-session &

[14:54] <wols> I need some more technical info about wubi, how it works what it does. any suggestions where to get it?
[14:54] <Daisuke_Laptop> i didn't get here in time to tell him he didn't need to actually reboot
[14:54] <white_eagle> I downloaded netbeans 6.1 full and when I try to install it after: "configuring the installer", "searching for JVM on the system" "extracting installion data" "running the installer wizard" I get these 2 errors: "No protocol specified" and "Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.
[14:54] <wols> or there is a ubuntu derived distro whihc installs on windows partitions IIRC but can't remember the name. any hint about it?
[14:54] <white_eagle> help ! :)
[14:54] <Daisuke_Laptop> wols: wubi.org
[14:55] <wols> Daisuke_Laptop: wrong url
[14:55] <Daisuke_Laptop> wols: but what it does is creates a disk image in a windows partition and mounts it as a loopback device at boot
[14:55] <WillLuongo> wols: If you put your regular ubuntu disk in it will let you do it
[14:56] <cjohnson> Is there a way to use wubi to install gutsy
[14:56] <unavailable> bad_image: by the looks of that website, are you looking for linux promotional sites?
[14:56] <Daisuke_Laptop> wols: http://www.wubi-installer.org
[14:56] <wols> WillLuongo Daisuke_Laptop  I said technical info. that's not technical
[14:56] <bad_image> unavailable, yes, do you know some ?

[14:56] <wols> Daisuke_Laptop: how the boot process exactly works for starters. boot.ini or grub in mbr
[14:56] <dns53> cjohnson wubi will install any distro, you just put an iso in the same directory as wubi
[14:57] <nickrud> wols http://wubi-installer.org/support.php , I'd try asking on the forum link for some info
[14:57] <cjohnson> dns53, oh
[14:57] <WillLuongo> wols: Ah, sorry missed that post... only saw (09:54:38) wols: or there is a ubuntu derived distro whihc installs on windows partitions IIRC but can't remember the name. any hint about it?

[14:57] <nickrud> wols neither can I
[14:57] <unavailable> bad_image: been there done that
[14:57] <wols> WillLuongo: wubi is not a ubuntu derived distro
[14:57] <nickrud> wols actually, I'm not sure what you're asking about

[14:58] <wols> nickrud: there is a livecd or such baded on ubuntu which you can install too. andlinux or such
[14:58] <WillLuongo> wols: Ubuntu is arguably an ubuntu derived distro though?

[14:59] <nickrud> wols yes, looking at the page now
[14:59] <Muntrue> lunaris, im back , do you still need help ?
[14:59] <hiptobecubic> but so slowly that you couldn't do anything
[14:59] <hiptobecubic> not even capslock
[14:59] <wols> jetscreamer: ubuntu question belong here, debian questions belong over there. nothing wrong with that
[14:59] <mgreen> hiptobecubic: hehe :)
[15:00] <MaximB>  is anyone familiar with the "autoexpect" program ?
[15:00] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, Everything still good ?
[15:00] <jetscreamer> that's not what i meant and you know it :)  (but was j/k)
[15:00] <mgreen> hiptobecubic: capslock for when you just want to _scream_ at yourself for not thinking :)
[15:00] <lunaris> Muntrue, No,Daisuke_Laptop helped me.It was just command
[15:00] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: Now my wifi isn't connecting... I'm not sure what is up
[15:00] <Muntrue> lunaris, Oke good :) just to see if i was right, what was the solution ?
[15:01] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, I think i do :) you seem to have the same issues as me haha. are you using onboard or usb dongle ?
[15:01] <lunaris> Muntrue, in fstab I have typed noauto in command line for automount
[15:01] <snmpee_> Muntrue: an onboard or usb what?
[15:01] <unavailable> why is the name of the room (ubuntu-unregged 2.5) ?
[15:02] <jpds> unavailable: It's an emergency channel in case of a bot network attack.

[15:03] <xidryck> hi all
[15:03] <axenory> Can I reinstall Ubuntu and keep all the folders?
[15:03] <axenory> I mean
[15:03] <unavailable> "unmount the windows disk Hal"
[15:03] <snmpee_> Muntrue: which is a better dongle? onboard or usb? and by that i mean what kind of dongle do you prefer?
[15:03] <unavailable> im sorry michael i cannot do that
[15:03] <Odd-rationale> axenory: if you created a separate /home partition, you can reinstall and keep all folders in /home
[15:03] <nickrud> axenory you can keep your home stuff if you have it on a separate partition easily, there's another way as well (with the alternate cd installer)
[15:04] <wols> how would one defrag a windows ntfs partiition before resizing with gparted so I have room for ubuntu?
[15:04] <wols> des the livecd defrag work satisfactorily?
[15:04] <Odd-rationale> wols: use windows?
[15:04] <geppy> wols: Go into Windows, use the degragment tool there (if you still have it)
[15:04] <nickrud> wols it's really really slow iirc
[15:04] <unavailable> wols go into windows and do a defrag
[15:04] <wols> Odd-rationale: dunno where you defrag in windows actually :)
[15:04] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: I am using onboard
[15:04] <Odd-rationale> wols: vista?
[15:04] <wols> XP
[15:04] <wols> never used that stuff
[15:04] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: I suspect it may have to do with the update
[15:04] <lunaris> Muntrue, Do you know some program for watching TV and listening FM on ubuntu?I have Asus TV/FM card,and cannot use it on ubuntu
[15:05] <genii> wols: You likely want to run chkdsk as well
[15:05] <geppy> wols:programs->accessors->system->defrag
[15:05]  * wols goes looking
[15:05] <Odd-rationale> wols: start --> access --> system tools --> defrag...
[15:05] <wols> that I already did :)
[15:05] <unavailable> wols right click your drive, go to tools and hit defrag
[15:05]  * nickrud spent 10 minutes looking for defrag in windows last time
[15:05] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: it just spins and spins and asks for encryption, never connects
[15:05] <axenory> nickrud: But I didnt do anything the last time I reinstall and all my folders were there even though my programs werent... how does it happen?
[15:05] <wols> thanks folkx
[15:05] <geppy> Hoy, mates, I'm using 'testdisk', and the website claims that it finds 'odt', but I don't actually see 'odt' in the file format list when running the app.
[15:05] <bad_image> nickrud, http://www.promotinglinux.com/linux/dealing-with-ubuntu-users/
[15:05] <unavailable> nickrud wols you could also try start > run > defrag x:     where x = disk to be defragged
[15:05] <wols> I know how to defrag my xfs partitions but not my ntfs one :P
[15:06] <unavailable> wut?
[15:06] <nickrud> axenory you most likely had those folders on a separate partition from the one you actually installed ubuntu onto
[15:06] <bad_image> unavailable, thx
[15:06] <Daisuke_Laptop> !ot | bad_image will you quit spamming offtopic links already?
[15:06] <nickrud> axenory or told the installer not to format the partition you installed to, and got lucky that it worked cleanly ;)
[15:07] <unavailable> nickrud wols bad_image http://www.monkeydoit.com/defrag-hard-disk-xp.php
[15:07] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, Yea i know wifi sucks with ubuntu
[15:08] <Talcite> hey guys, Are there any tools to check mdraid partitions in the repos?
[15:08] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, We can use ndiswrapper
[15:08] <Muntrue> !ndiswrapper | WillLuongo

[15:08] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, What was your laptop model again ?
[15:08] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: It was just working though... :(
[15:08] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: Averatec 3270
[15:08] <unavailable> nickrud you may also like this page http://www.ss64.com/nt/
[15:09] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, Thats weird that it was just working. hold on

[15:09] <unavailable> yep
[15:10] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, Xorg.conf doesnt seem to have anything to do with our wireless lol
[15:10] <axenory> nickrud: mmm okay.... hey nick I have this compaq laptop.... I am experiencing some wireless problems with it. At the beggining it worked fine the first couple days. Now It looks like the wireless card is not getting into the internet, eventhough it reads that there is a wireless conection somewhere. (you also need to know that the drivers were obtained by the "Hardware drivers" apps, I dont know if that matters) plz help
[15:10] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: I know, that is why I think it was the updates that just ran
[15:11] <Miksag1> hey
[15:11] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, can you run lspci and see if your wifi is in there ?
[15:11] <axenory> I have this compaq laptop.... I am experiencing some wireless problems with it. At the beggining it worked fine the first couple days. Now It looks like the wireless card is not getting into the internet, eventhough it reads that there is a wireless conection somewhere. (you also need to know that the drivers were obtained by the "Hardware drivers" apps, I dont know if that matters) plz help
[15:11] <nickrud> axenory I've had experience with exactly one wireless card, Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01) , and it's just worked
[15:12] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: the card is there, it can't connect now... maybe because of SSL or something?
[15:12] <Miksag1> um, I've managed to find drivers for my network card (an R111C by realtek), and the readme says i need binutils, I've checked synaptic, and see that i have binutils, would i need the -dev one if the driver's supplied as source?
[15:12] <axenory> nickrud: but how did you manage with the problem?
[15:12] <LogicalDash> Miksag1, yes
[15:12] <Miksag1> k
[15:13] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: It just keeps asking me for the WEP key over and over again
[15:13] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, the icon in the top right showing wireless location doesnt always mean the card is active. if i remove my usb dongle the wireless locations stlls tay even though i reboot or whatever
[15:13] <Miksag1> I thought i'd check, i've only been on ubuntu (full time) for about 2 weeks, and I'm not looking to stuff anything up
[15:13] <nickrud> axenory usually what I do with wireless dying is  sudo killall NetworkManager && sudo NetworkManager , my problems have been with that software
[15:13] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: I meant it was in lspci
[15:13] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, Oke. It did taht exact same thing for me
[15:13] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, it kept asking for a WEP key while I used WPA
[15:13] <lunaris> Muntrue, Do you know some program for watching TV and listening FM on ubuntu?I have Asus TV/FM card,and cannot use it on ubuntu
[15:14] <codazoda> Hi.  I have an RT2500 wifi card.  I'd like to set it to use 802.11b instead of 802.11g mode (for better distance).  How might I go about setting that in Ubuntu?
[15:14] <oldenglis1> Im trying to boot in persistent mode off a thumb drive and during boot it kicks me to a Busy Box Built-in shell, and doesn't boot into Ubuntu. Any ideas?
[15:14] <Muntrue> lunaris, Im affraid i dont know. you could check around on google for ASUS TV/FM ubuntu
[15:14] <axenory> so it reads again internet (wireless)
[15:14] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: I actually am on a WEP key atm
[15:14] <nickrud> axenory it restarts the wireless software stack from scratch.
[15:15] <bazhang> !info tvtime
[15:15] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, do you have a switch on your laptop to turn the wireless off ?
[15:15] <axenory> nickrud:  can you describe me what was your problem just to make sure we are on the same page, no offense, plz
[15:15] <WillLuongo> Muntrue
[15:16] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, yes ? :)
[15:16] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: Yes... I may have pressed it... but the light came on lol
[15:16] <nickrud> axenory nothing at the kernel level. My problems have never been iwconfig not showing the card. Just the actual connection being made.
[15:16] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, easy fix right there eh ;)
[15:17] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: Don't know yet, the little networking app disappeared... rebooting
[15:17] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 codazoda you might find this useful
[15:17] <ubuntuless> I'm trying to install Dapper Drake from the emc2.2 live CD, and the installation hangs at about 62%-70% each time.  I noticed in top that install.py quits.  There are so few options in the installer -- is there anythign I can do?
[15:17] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, Allright , tell me how that worked out.. you can also sudo apt-get install wirelessassistant
[15:17] <bazhang> ubuntuless, what is emc2.2
[15:17] <froosch> /data/hut/GELIEFERT/band/cd4/2004-01-09/etc/termcap
[15:17] <ubuntuless> CNC control software
[15:17] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: Thanks, I'll keep you posted. :)
[15:17] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, its a bit more advanced wireless client
[15:18] <axenory> nickrud: the thing is that I dont really undeerstand what your issue was, but let me tell you again..... the wireless card worked, Now it just recognize the wireless network but when I try to connect it tryes and always fails...
[15:18] <bazhang> ubuntuless, any reason to install such an ancient version?
[15:18] <nickrud> axenory so you can see the applet in the panel attempting, but failing/
[15:18] <nickrud> axenory failing to connect, that is
[15:18] <ubuntuless> That's the version that the emc2 people say is most stable with emc2, plus I only have 384 MB of RAM
[15:18] <db92> when i use wine i always get err:mixer:MIX_Open ioctl(/dev/mixer, SOUND_MIXER_DEVMASK) failed (Invalid argument) and i remember someone in the wine channel told me a while ago that for this to pop up there must be something wrong with my kernel. anyone knows anything about this? :||||
[15:19] <Muntrue> nickrud, axenory I could recommend wirelessassistant (sudo apt-get install wirelessassistant) sometimes that works wonders for wireless
[15:19] <nickrud> axenory I've got to get ready for work shortly, so don't have a lot of time
[15:19] <bazhang> ubuntuless, you should contact the emc2 people then; no idea who they are
[15:20] <nickrud> axenory my first troubleshooting step would be    tail -f /var/log/messages   in a terminal, then try the connection again. You will see some messages about the connection attempt, you may see some clues
[15:20] <ubuntuless> ok, but at this point all I'm doing is a standard Ubuntu install.  Should Drake not work on a P4 Dell?
[15:21] <Dedi> is there a repo for the newest nvidia drivers?
[15:21] <bazhang> ubuntuless, from a standard dapper drake livecd?
[15:21] <axenory> nickrud: thanks! both of you then go to work! hehehe thanks very much
[15:21] <nickrud> axenory but it seems that Muntrue knows more about wireless than I do. Like I said, I have minimal experience with one card
[15:21] <Angel_of_Doom> pipl
[15:21] <ubuntuless> from the startup screen and desktop, that's what it looks like, but I know it has the emc2 software added
[15:21] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: I can't apt-get anything on that computer without wifi... lol
[15:21] <Angel_of_Doom> does enyone have kubuntu?
[15:21] <SUSLiK_> Sorry, i dont know which channel to choise.So sorry for oftopic question.I cant choise between to video cards GF 8800 and GF 9600...they have same params, and same price

[15:22] <Angel_of_Doom> xD
[15:22] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, You meight want to hook up a utp cable to that machine.
[15:23] <axenory> Muntrue: so how is that this wireless assistant is going to help me? sorry that I Just dont install it and find out my self. but I dont have the other laptop so I just want to make sure its gonna work
[15:24] <onats> !ftp
[15:24] <onats> !ftpd
[15:24] <Muntrue> axenory, Its hit and miss with wireless assistant. On my machine i have to run it everytime i reboot atleast once for some reason in order for wireless to work
[15:24] <Muff_divr> anyone here on a thinkpad?
[15:24] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: I can't atm... no access to wired connection on that machine

[15:24] <Muff_divr> i'm trying to get my center scrolling button to work
[15:25] <Muff_divr> found a few tutorials but i can't seem to edit the file
[15:25] <gfather1> guys the ubuntu download from the official site is the (Hardy Heron) release , right ?
[15:25] <LogicalDash> gfather1, yes
[15:25] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, command:  lspci -v grep -i Network
[15:25] <LogicalDash> gfather1, actually it is 8.04.1, thus the *second* Hardy Heron release
[15:25] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, tell me what the card model is :)
[15:25] <a5an0> Heron point release if you will
[15:25] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, ignore the other command i made a typo
[15:26] <WillLuongo> I can get it for you just a sec
 cool . so it already has the Wubi and other stuff to install with windows ,
[15:26] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, lspci -v | grep -i Network
[15:26] <gfather1> man the setup is very easy :)
[15:26] <LogicalDash> gfather1, yes, it is basically awesome

[15:27] <Nikolas|> How do I change the system's language?
[15:27] <mole112> Hello
[15:27] <snmpee_> Miksag1: what are you trying to do, compile a program?

[15:28] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: nothing
[15:28] <Muntrue> axenory, It is just a wireless assistant application. but alot of people report that it fixed their wireless problem so its a good way to start and easy fix if it works
[15:28] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, oke hang on
[15:28] <wols> Miksag1: apt-get the appropriate linux-header* package

[15:29] <wols> Miksag1: wired are all supported
[15:29] <Miksag1> lspci | grep Ethernet?

[15:30] <Muntrue> axenory, You want to check out ndiswrapper
[15:30] <Miksag1> well, i believe it's a driver issue, as, sometimes the network card just doesn't work on boot; but after a few reboots, it works fine
[15:30] <Muntrue> !ndiswrapper | axenory
[15:30] <wols> FF|h0lus: pastebin your sources.lis
[15:30] <mickru> I read about /etc/security/limits.conf but those settings doesn't seem to work

[15:31] <Miksag1> http://pastie.org/private/v0qktgvaxr41f94krkagq wols
[15:31] <GleepGlop> FF|h0lus: try just apt-get install ssh-server
[15:31] <mickru> at least they are not what i set them to when a user types ulimit -c
[15:31] <mickru> any idea?
[15:31] <axenory> Muntrue: I already installed it but i dont know how to use it
[15:31] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: thanks, I appreciate it
[15:31] <Dedi> Miksag1: for my wireless, i mostly have to do a sudo /etc/init.d/network restart after booting up
[15:32] <wols> Dedi: why?
[15:32] <Miksag1> yay; i somehow don't really want todo that
[15:32] <wols> Dedi: then  you ahven't configured it correctly
[15:32] <Muntrue> axenory, ndiswrapper installs the windows driver for your wireless card so you will need that
[15:32] <cdavis> is there a way to determine if my proc supports hvm throug /sys or anything like that?
[15:32] <FF|h0lus> GleepGlop E: Don't find the packet ssh-server
[15:32] <mole112> Miksagl : have you looked at this

[15:32] <Nikolas|> wols: E: Invalid operation localeconf
[15:32] <wols> Miksag1: that one doesn't need any compilation under ubuntu. what ubuntu version is this?
[15:32] <axenory> Muntrue:  WifiDocs/NdiswrapperOnAMD64 I am not using AMD does it  work anyway?
[15:33] <Muntrue> axenory, You will first have to figure out wich window driver you need. you can check the official ndiswrapper list for your card/usb device and go from there
[15:33] <Miksag1> um.. not quite, i've got open a site linking to it; but being a new user; I'm sorta cautious of sources
[15:33] <GleepGlop> FF|h0lus: ok, does apt-cache search ssh-server result in anything?
[15:33] <Miksag1> 8.04
[15:33] <wols> Miksag1: ifconfig -a. it IS supported
[15:33] <Odd-rationale> FF|h0lus: do a "sudo apt-get update" first...

[15:34] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, Ill try to find more information in the meantime
[15:34] <Miksag1> "modprobe r8169" is that a command to run?

[15:40] <petersaints> yeah wols... I have tested it in a past and noticed no real performance increase between 32-bit and 64-bit (besides some heavy CPU tasks such as enconding)
[15:41] <thunder85> hi all
[15:41] <Pici> FF|h0lus: Thats a normal warning, you will always get that the first time you connect.
[15:41] <Odd-rationale> Odd-rationale: and do "ssh <username_on_server>@(sever_ip_address) from the client machine...
[15:41] <petersaints> what I feel abour 64-bit (on any OS) is that for a common user the only real advantage is to support 4GB of RAM or more
[15:41] <petersaints> am I right?
[15:41] <npope> 32bit with PAE
[15:42] <npope> oops thats Fedora as far as I know Ubuntu doesnt have any PAE kernels
[15:42] <Pici> npope: Only the -server kernel does, not the -generic one.
[15:42] <cedx> You can address up to 64gb of Ram in a 32bit system using PAE
[15:42] <Miksag1> i think i worked it out; after more googling i found a forum thread
[15:42] <Miksag1> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=755002
[15:43] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: I am not seeing anything there, unforunately...
[15:43] <wols> petersaints: yes you're mostly right
[15:43] <npope> Pici: thanks
[15:43] <Miksag1> I got the same error as the original author there.
[15:43] <Miksag1> thanks for your helps anyway :)
[15:43] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, Oke i will try to find more information
[15:44] <petersaints> Yes but currently I only have 2GB. All I want to know is that if I should go for 64-bit right now!! When I used 64-bit for a few days (some weeks ago) the only problem I've found with it was running some proprietary 32-bit compiled software
[15:44] <petersaints> sometimes the compatibility layer offered by default on Ubuntu is not enough :P
[15:44] <wols> petersaints: this is still the main problem
[15:44] <smit1> what is my name'
[15:44] <smit1> ok
[15:45] <smit1> i can not get my soundblaster audigy se to work
[15:45] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, can you try ; sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[15:45] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: Sure, one minute please
[15:46] <petersaints> however I use 99% of software with 64-bit binaries available (from the repository or 3rd party)... The problema is if someday I need to install something that is 32-bit only and I'll have a lot of trouble making it work! :P
[15:46] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: It completed, I'll see if it helps
[15:46] <petersaints> *problem
[15:46] <Muntrue> axenory, How is it working out ?
[15:46] <smit1> i can not get my soundblaster audigy se to work
[15:46] <hiptobecubic> i'm trying to build Desmume and it's giving the following error on make.  http://pastebin.com/m7f52a1ff
[15:46] <hiptobecubic> what does that mean?
[15:47] <venky> Hi . Is there any alternative for gksudo nautilus command ? i mean changing file permissions ?
[15:47] <petersaints> of course if I had 4GB or more I would undoubtfully sacrifice myself and use 64-bit... But with 2GB is there really no point??
[15:47] <axenory> Muntrue: I dont know it is not listed on the webpage.....
[15:47] <wols> petersaints: why do you still ask. I told you long ago
[15:48] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: Doesn't look like it
[15:48] <_THEGOD> anyone knows a tts engine ?
[15:48] <axenory> Muntrue: I dunno where to get the drivers? should I look for the windoes *.inf ?
[15:48] <_THEGOD> for reading sourcecodes
[15:48] <dngr> i can't get synaptic to downgrade firefox from 3.0.1 to 3.0 .. it wants to uninstall a lot of stuff and the version numbering jumps back automatically to 3.0.1 when i try to force it to 3.0...
[15:48] <Muntrue> axenory, you can get the windows installer .exe and extract that with an app. wich i cant recall the name but i will look that up. then the .inf will be there
[15:48] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, oke im getting closer to some solid information.
[15:49] <smit1> ---dd
[15:49] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, just to be sure, you are now connected to that same wireless with a different computer right ?
[15:49] <smit1> my soundblaster audigy se wont work
[15:49] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: Yes, two actually (well, an iphone and a coworker's laptop)
[15:49] <wols> !doesn't work | smit1
[15:50] <petersaints> Ok wols ;) I'll just keep 32-bit until I get 4GB or more of RAM (on a future laptop and/or desktop)!! I see development 64-bit for desktop computers like an assurance that when needed (because you have more RAM, etc) you'll be able to use it ;)
[15:50] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, iPhone, lucky ;)
[15:50] <smit1> i get no sound from my soundblaster audigy se
[15:50] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: :) That depends on your perspective, it is the more expensive first gen... :/
[15:50] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, run this; sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces tell me whats there :)
[15:50] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: But I love it
[15:50] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: ok
[15:51] <lsa> hi people, Im intro trouble, I cant uninstall kio-umountwrappe package after uninstalling kde.... I did it with synaptic, how can i uninstall that?
[15:51] <SAngeli> greetings, I am moving some data from linux to an external hd with NTFS. First I must change permission to allow all rights. --> Is it chown -R 777 *.*   <--
[15:51] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, we are only getting the iphone over here in holland, and even then im to poor to afford one haha
[15:51] <petersaints> BTW have anyone tried KDE 4.1 RC1?? Is is stable for everyday use ??
[15:52] <Sylphid|work> SAngeli, chmod -R 777 *
[15:52] <SAngeli> Sylphid|work: thanks.

[15:52] <genii> petersaints: Ask in #kubuntu-kde4 please
[15:53] <petersaints> Ok genii
[15:53] <axenory> Muntrue: so Ndiswrapper works for any windows driver I want to install?
[15:53] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: Should I use gksu instead of sudo?
[15:53] <Muntrue> axenory, No only wireless. And it is really picky about versions. you will also need to run a few more commands but i really advice you to read the ndiswrapper documentation
[15:53] <axenory> Muntrue: ok I downloaded the windows installer.exe how do I extract it now?
[15:53] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, nah sudo will do fine
[15:54] <bazhang> smit1, caps
[15:54] <lsa> http://paste.ubuntu.com/29620/   can someone take a look and see if can find a solution?
[15:54] <smit1> how can i change the number of sides are on the cube, i only have two so it doesnt work
[15:54] <blame> Can you anyone suggest relatively easy solution for shaping and controling trafic on a SOHO-like network?
[15:54] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: It has the following two lines:
[15:54] <Muntrue> axenory, I really have to direct you to the ndiswrapper documentation. i will look up the URL for you. It is really informative and helped me alot on setting things up.
[15:54] <WillLuongo> auto lo
[15:54] <Muntrue> axenory, It has all the info you need
[15:54] <WillLuongo> iface lo inet loopback
[15:54] <bazhang> smit1, go into ccsm and under general choose virtual horizontal desktops and switch to 4
[15:54] <venky> Hi . Is there any alternative for gksudo nautilus command ? i mean changing file permissions ?
[15:54] <lsa> smit1, change the horizontal number of desktops
[15:55] <WillLuongo> venky: aside from chmod?
[15:55] <axenory> Muntrue: Yea but you said that I have to extract the exe file... how do I do that in UBUNTU?
[15:55] <venky> WillLungo : how to change with chmod ?
[15:55] <bazhang> !info cabextract
[15:55] <Muntrue> axenory, That part is also explained in the documentation. I really want to help you but ndiswrapper is complicated to explain over IRC.
[15:55] <venky> WillLuongo : how to change with chmod ?
[15:55] <ndo> guys, i get this error what do i do? "Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service"
[15:55] <WillLuongo> venky: chmod 755 filename
[15:56] <Muntrue> axenory, http://tinyurl.com/yc9t3a <- ndiswrapper documentation
[15:56] <WillLuongo> venky: where 755 is the permissions octet
[15:56] <axenory> mm ok thanks man!
[15:56] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, After reading some more forum posts i think you too will have to use ndiswrapper
[15:56] <venky> WillLuongo : Is that octet to get write permission in a file?
[15:56] <WillLuongo> venky: you can also use chmod --h for more info
[15:56] <smit1>  how do i move the cube around
[15:57] <WillLuongo> venky: that will give your user read write execute, and I believe group and world read and write
[15:57] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: That is not good news at all. I've never gotten ndis to work for anything...
[15:57] <bazhang> !cube | smit1
[15:57] <venky> WillLuongo : Do you have any idea why gksudo nautilus is showing error ?
[15:57] <WillLuongo> venky: You will probably need to preface the command with sudo
[15:57] <WillLuongo> venky: do you have an example of the error?
[15:58] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, I got mine to work after some trial/error reading other peoples setup with the same card
[15:58] <smit1> what buttons do i press to rotate cube
[15:58] <SAngeli> Second question: I have some files with latin accents, like à è à .. I do not know but I get errors when finding files like this "Register�.doc»:" saying that " Carattere multibyte o esteso non valido o incompleto"  --> what to do <-- how to avoid this?
[15:58] <RickX> does anyone know how to get a playlist from rhythm box printed to a cd cover?
[15:58] <bazhang> smit1, /join #compiz-fusion
[15:58] <venky> WillLuongo : Nautilus cannot handle computer: locations
[15:58] <genii> venky: No, DON'T run Nautilus with sudo only as WillLuongo suggests. This will definitely mess it up for regular user. Use instead gksu nautilus
[15:59] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, I can give you this url of a forum post http://tinyurl.com/yrlafo It is for an older ubuntu version but it has some ideas
[15:59] <WillLuongo> genii: I suggested no such thing, I was telling him to use chmod
[15:59] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, Im sorry but except for ndiswrapper im out of ideas.
[15:59] <fwaokda> I'm trying to figure out which parts I'm wanting to put together for a new computer, but I wanna make sure they work really well with Ubuntu.  Is there a list of preferred parts somwhere?  I would like it to all be recognized fairly easy and not have problems like I've had with my laptop installing so many extras to get stuff to work.
[15:59] <WillLuongo> Muntrue: Thanks for all of your time and help
[15:59] <Muntrue> venky, Whats wrong with running sudo nautilus.. i use that all the time
[15:59] <genii> WillLuongo: "[10:57:46] <venky> WillLuongo : Do you have any idea why gksudo nautilus is showing error ?" "[10:57:50] <WillLuongo> venky: You will probably need to preface the command with sudo"

[16:00] <smit1> got it

[16:02] <xif> Hi. Can I configure auto-update to update automatically in the background, without waiting for my confirmation?
[16:02] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, I know there is a list of linux drivers made by some guy in hes spare time

[16:05] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, Also, since this has happened after an update. i think somehow you installed a duplicate driver of the device
[16:06] <Muntrue> WillLuongo, so you could try and see wich driver it uses and reinstall that. and try to reinstall it again
[16:06] <pr0ggie> Does anyone know if linux-header files are included in the default Ubuntu Hardy installation ?

[16:09] <CollapZ> a lot of questions but no answers =/

[16:12] <bieb> I have a fresh install of 8.04, Firefox 3 randomly shuts down. What/How do I determine the cause of this?

[16:12] <bazhang> KnomeDE, usb or pci (external or internal)

[16:12] <bieb> none
[16:13] <Xecuter> does anyone know how i can tweak the boot process?
