[12:01] <aleka> is there a function I need to enable in the sshd config to accept keys?
[12:01] <Royito> it on the desktop

[12:01] <mwe> Lam_: man mount and know your iso charset

[12:03] <b0ss_> any help
[12:03] <ubotu> Help!  What, no error message, you mean?
[12:04] <senator^zZz> what is the default root password in ubuntu?
[12:04] <aleka> soundray> Do I use the id_rsa or the id_rsa.pub file? sorry...
[12:04] <Royito> the same mesage error
[12:04] <mwe> senator^zZz: there is none
[12:04] <Royito> it does exit
[12:04] <mwe> senator^zZz: use sudo
[12:04] <barrosz> set one with sudo passwd
[12:04] <soundray> Royito: try this: sudo rm /home/roy/Desktop/Slayer*avi
[12:04] <senator^zZz> ok
[12:04] <mwe> !sudo | senator^zZz
[12:04] <ubotu> senator^zZz: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[12:04] <BackPacker> soundray: it's not called Slayer it's called Slayer en vivo!!.avi
[12:05] <senator^zZz> can someone give me the command line for setting the root password?
[12:05] <eltese> hey BackPacker =) it seems i dont get no dns on my second computer
[12:05] <soundray> aleka: the .pub one. The other is the private key and never leaves the machine it was generated on.
[12:05] <Tachoh> senator^zZz: sodo passwd
[12:05] <eltese> BackPacker, i can ping by ip to the internet but not hostname
[12:05] <barrosz> sudo passwd
[12:05] <mwe> barrosz: that pretty much undermines the idea of using sudo
[12:05] <Tachoh> sudo*
[12:05] <soundray> BackPacker: I know, it will work anyhow.
[12:05] <barrosz> he asked ...
[12:05] <Tachoh> try her one more time: my mic capture is turned on, mic boost is on, the mic is selected for recording, if i turn up the volume on the mic i can hear myself talk, i have the right permissions to access the sound devices, the correct modules are loaded, tried with mic 1 and mic2 in alsamixer, and the recording volume is turned up in audacity. audacity is pointing to /dev/dsp as the recording device. any idea why i get a blank line when trying to record sou
[12:05] <BackPacker> eltese: have you got DNS IPs in /etc/resolv.conf?
[12:05] <barrosz> i know ill keep it to myself next time
[12:05] <eltese> oh.. ok =) ty
[12:05] <Royito> mmm jajaja im almost by shooting my head jaja
[12:05] <Royito> no it doest exit
[12:06] <yed> i installed ubuntu dapper i386 desktop a few days ago. now i got a new motherboard and processor, AMD Athlon 64. the OS won't run (gives "hda: drive not ready for command" thousands of lines). do i need to reinstall the os from the amd64 cd?
[12:06] <mwe> barrosz: please refer folks to the wiki instead. it explains the idea of sudo and tells you how to set a root password if you insist
[12:06] <soundray> Tachoh: it's not enough to make those selections in a mixer, you need to select the microphone and mic level within audacity
[12:06] <Matthew_W> Hey guys, I'm stuck in IRSSI and no X right now - does someone know the command to install GRUB to the MBR from just a login shell?
[12:06] <CharlieSu> I have postfix installed and working.. i telneted into my localhost and send a message to my user and it is in the spool..  but how do i check this mail?  also how do i send me out on 110?  does postfix do everything or is there a second part i'm missing?
[12:07] <aleka> soundray > here's what I got when I tried to use the .pub file in PuTTY "Unable to use key file "C:\Documents and Settings\name\My Documents\id_rsa.pub" (not a private key)"
[12:07] <barrosz> sry mate! i was looking and shot a quick answer :(
[12:07] <soundray> Matthew_W: it's 'sudo grub-install'. Check man grub-install for details.
[12:07] <linux_kid> Anyone here got DynDNS to work over a Linksys WRT54G router with Apache?
[12:07] <tonyyarusso> Matthew_W: I think it's grub-install /dev/hda, if hda is the disk you want to install to.
[12:07] <BackPacker> Matthew_W:
[12:07] <Matthew_W> Which of those will put it to the MBR
[12:07] <Matthew_W> o_O
[12:07] <h00t> anyone know how can i check sfv (simple file verification) in ubuntu
[12:07] <Royito> a guy from spain tell me that i got to enter in root at the path of the file
[12:07] <Tachoh> soundray: would it help if i said it does the same thing in kde's sound recorder?
[12:08] <mbd> con-man, hey =)
[12:08] <Royito> home/roy/desktop
[12:08] <con-man> mbd sup?
[12:08] <soundray> aleka: it sounds to me like you're doing the wrong thing. Sorry, I don't know enough about PuttySSH to help (it's offtopic here anyway...)
[12:08] <Royito> YEEEEEEEEEES I DID I DID
[12:08] <Royito> I DID DID
[12:08] <mbd> BackPacker, seems i couldnt reach my old isps dns server from this one...
[12:08] <BackPacker> Royito: great!
[12:08] <mbd> con-man, its eltese =)
[12:08] <asgilder> Do I have to do anything special to dual boot?
[12:08] <con-man> mdb sweet.
[12:08] <Royito> i made enter as a root in the path
[12:08] <soundray> Royito: try to avoid filenames with exclamation marks in the future.
[12:08] <con-man> mbd: so where do we start
[12:09] <aleka> well.. afterall I am trying to connect to my Ubuntu machine... so it's not totally off topic
[12:09] <bimberi> CharlieSu: You can use evolution to read the mail, or install "mailx" to get the classic CLI mail client.  You shouldn't need anything else (after postfix) to send mail
[12:09] <yed> help please: i installed ubuntu dapper i386 desktop a few days ago on a pentium 3. now i got a new motherboard and processor, AMD Athlon 64. the OS won't run (gives "hda: drive not ready for command" thousands of lines). do i need to reinstall the os from the amd64 cd?
[12:09] <mbd> con-man,  hmm.. do u have a monitor section for both of your monitors
[12:09] <Wiseguy> hey guys, does anyone know why im not able to configure my eth1 (wireless) device in Network Tools?
[12:09] <linux_kid> asgilder nope, it will do it by itself
[12:09] <Royito> and there i write rm Slayer and pull 2 times the TAB key and enter
[12:09] <asgilder> Okay. Cool.
[12:09] <con-man> mbd: yes
[12:09] <con-man> mbd: two monitor sections
[12:10] <CharlieSu> bimberi: so postfix recieves mail from the internet and also sends mail out to the internet?
[12:10] <Royito> look at how it seems root@daunbuntu:/home/roy/Desktop# sudo rm Slayer\ en\ vivo\!\!.avi
[12:10] <Matthew_W> ls
[12:10] <mbd> con-man, hang on.. ill find a pastebin and paste my screen section
[12:10] <Royito> and get erased
[12:10] <con-man> k
[12:10] <Matthew_W> Hey - when I do grub-install it asks for a particular device to which I would like to install the stuff - is that the device like /dev/sda for example?
[12:10] <Rageagainstthis> Does anyone know of a program that downloads wmv streams.
[12:11] <BackPacker> Matthew_W: /dev/hda
[12:11] <Matthew_W> BackPacker: It's a SATA drive...
[12:11] <soundray> yed: this is worrying -- hope you have a backup. Boot from a live CD and see if you can access your data on /dev/hda
[12:11] <Royito> see backpaker?
[12:11] <BackPacker> Matthew_W: oh, ok
[12:11] <BackPacker> Royito: yes?
[12:11] <Matthew_W> BackPacker - it says "Casper-snapshot has no corresponding BIOS drive"
[12:11] <Matthew_W> EH?
[12:12] <yed> soundray: truth is i don't really need the data, i installed on a clean harddrive a few days ago. if it's quicker, i just format the drive and reinstall the os. could the problem be because i didn't plug in a floppy drive?
[12:12] <BackPacker> Matthew_W: sorry, don't know anything about SATA drives. Thought they were on the IDE bus. Obviously not...
[12:12] <Matthew_W> BackPacker I'll restart, I just redid the partition table with fdisk, so it might be wongy atm
[12:12] <Matthew_W> BackPacker - or is there a way to do that without restarting etc.
[12:12] <soundray> yed: no, in light of this new information I suspect that you haven't set the jumpers on the drives correctly.
[12:13] <bimberi> CharlieSu: yes, that's my experience.
[12:13] <mbd> con-man, http://pastebin.ca/267580
[12:13] <yed> i didn't change the jumpers from their position on my old system
[12:13] <soundray> aleka: check out this page for some background on using keys with ssh: http://pkeck.myweb.uga.edu/ssh/
[12:13] <yed> soundray: i didn't change the jumpers from their position on my old system
[12:13] <soundray> yed: that'll be the problem.
[12:13] <aleka> soundray... thanks
[12:14] <yed> soundray: but the same drive is master, same slave. so what can be the problem with that?
[12:14] <con-man> mbd: ok so you put your two monitor identifiers in the screen section?
[12:14] <mbd> con-man, and here is my device section http://pastebin.ca/267582
[12:14] <soundray> yed: and you're booting from a fresh install on the slave?
[12:14] <CharlieSu> bimberi: ok.. i'll see if i have this figured out then..
[12:15] <mbd> con-man, yes
[12:15] <errorlevel> A quick couple of questions:  First, I looked at my /etc/fstab and noticed some lines that have UUID=... at the beginning.  What are those?  I've never seen any other distribution use those.  Are the UUIDs needed?
[12:15] <mbd> con-man, and the interesting in device is DesktopSetup
[12:15] <soundray> yed: is this an MSI motherboard by any chance?
[12:15] <yed> soundray: yes, the new motherboard is MSI
[12:15] <Wiseguy> hye guys can anyone help me with my wireless for an ipw2200 driver?
[12:15] <mbd> con-man, and i think u can use option mode2 1024x768 if u want the secondary monitor to  have another resolution
[12:16] <mbd> con-man, but i have not tried it myself
[12:16] <mwe> errorlevel: the UUID is a hardware id. thus if you change from master to slave it still works
[12:16] <con-man> mbd: brb im restarting X
[12:16] <mbd> k
[12:16] <mwe> errorlevel: see man fstab
[12:16] <mwe> errorlevel: you can use /dev/foo if you prefer
[12:16] <ThePancakeMan> newbie question - how do I install this VMWare player 1.0.3 application?
[12:16] <Royito> somebody here knows about the leak patch?
[12:17] <soundray> yed: I had the weirdest problems with the ATIIXP IDE controller on an MSI mainboard. I gave up in the end and am now running my IDE drives from a Promise PCI controller - much better.
[12:17] <mwe> !vmare | ThePancakeMan
[12:17] <errorlevel> mwe: Okay.  Thanks on that one....
[12:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vmare - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:17] <mwe> !vmware | ThePancakeMan
[12:17] <ubotu> ThePancakeMan: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"). Instructions for VMWare Server can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingVMWare
[12:17] <soundray> yed: what helped a bit was to connect just a master drive to the primary mainboard IDE channel.
[12:18] <ThePancakeMan> I downloaded it and extracted it into a directory on my computer.  I think it is a package but I cannot get the package installer to recognize it
[12:18] <mwe> ThePancakeMan: don't do that.
[12:18] <Wiseguy> does anyone know why i am unable to configure any of my network devices under "Network Tools"
[12:18] <ThePancakeMan> don't do what?
[12:18] <mwe> ThePancakeMan: use the ubuntu packages instead. see what ubotu said
[12:18] <Royito> somebody here knows about the leak patch?
[12:18] <ThePancakeMan> Oh, OK. thx
[12:19] <Xamusk> is it safe to resize a NTFS partition through ubuntu's installer? (in a SATA drive)
[12:19] <visik7> anyone here of ubuntu laptop ?
[12:19] <soundray> Wiseguy: what are the network devices that you are expecting to see there?
[12:19] <errorlevel> Now, my second question is this:  Is there a "prefered" way of adding new partitions to the /etc/fstab (like some graphical partition mounter) or can I just edit my /etc/fstab in Vim?
[12:19] <Kervan> hello i have a problem about hp psc 1210. i can use my printer from windows but when i send a job from linux likes printing but i take a blank page.. my color cartige is empity. But i send black document
[12:19] <BackPacker> visik7: are you asking if anyone's using ubuntu on a laptop?
[12:19] <mwe> Xamusk: pretty safe. not 100% though
[12:19] <Xamusk> mwe, what are the problems?
[12:19] <ezenu> Anyone know how to restore the old boot-up behavior of displaying those status messages showing, rather than that edgy image? I was able to remove the image by removing splash from grub config, but now it only shows something like "Starting up.." in text -- no messages
[12:19] <visik7> BackPacker: mm not exactly
[12:19] <yed> soundray: i tried that in the begining, didn't boot. i think my master is not bootable, and i have a GRUB multi-boot program on my slave which boots and then hands over control to the master.
[12:20] <Wiseguy> soundray: lo, eth0, and eth1 are all in the list, but when i select them i am unable to choose the configure button next to it
[12:20] <soundray> errorlevel: attack it with vim, that's best in my experience
[12:20] <visik7> BackPacker: anyone of ubuntu laptop team
[12:20] <mwe> Xamusk: potentially you could loose all data and destroy the partition. it rarely happens though
[12:20] <senator^zZz> I cant figure it out, can someone tell me exactly what commandline to write to set root password... not just use sudo
[12:20] <Xamusk> mwe, ok, thanks... I'll try it
[12:20] <errorlevel> soundray: Okay.  I just didn't know what kind of tools ubuntu has that might /etc/fstab to be in a certain format.  But, yes.  I will attack away. =)
[12:20] <errorlevel> soundray: Thanks. =)
[12:20] <PhantasyHawk> Can someone help me find the packages I need to read encrypted DVDs?
[12:20] <yed> soundray: do you think making a fresh install of the AMD64 version on the master would help?
[12:21] <[GuS] > Re..
[12:21] <[GuS] > PhantasyHawk, you need libdvdcss
[12:21] <soundray> yed: I think you will fare best with a PCI controller like I do. Otherwise, exchange your board for a better one. I'm completely fed up with MSI.
[12:21] <oem> can someone help me with changing permissions to a partition from terminal?
[12:21] <PhantasyHawk> Is it in the repos?  Ive scanned synaptic for it with no luck
[12:21] <dsnyders> !lvm
[12:21] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[12:21] <BackPacker> senator^zZz: you want to set root's password at the command line, right?
[12:21] <soundray> yed: it won't matter whether you go with AMD64 or i386.
[12:21] <[GuS] > i think no PhantasyHawk , but there is packages in the net
[12:21] <[GuS] > just search in google ;)
[12:21] <PhantasyHawk> alright
[12:21] <PhantasyHawk> thanks a bunch
[12:21] <[GuS] > :)
[12:21] <senator^zZz> BackPacker yes
[12:22] <BackPacker> senator^zZz: ok, if you're sure you know what you're doing, try this: "sudo su" followed by "passwd"
[12:22] <oem> or at least how to change permissions on it using the file browser
[12:22] <ThePancakeMan> I have enabled all the repositories in the Synaptic package manager, reloaded, and searched for vmware-player as instructed, but I get nothing???
[12:22] <senator^zZz> BackPacker Ok I try... brb
[12:22] <soundray> BackPacker: please, this is a double no-no.
[12:22] <BackPacker> soundray: ?
[12:23] <T`> how do i list nfs mounts in ubuntu?
[12:23] <concept10> ezenu, what does your kernel line say now?
[12:23] <T`> df and mount dont show them
[12:23] <yed> soundray: so ubuntu i installed from i386 should run fine even though i changed the motherboard and processor to AMD64 system?
[12:23] <BackPacker> T`: showmount -e
[12:23] <[GuS] > PhantasyHawk, http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/libd/libdvdcss/libdvdcss2_1.2.9-0.0_i386.deb
[12:23] <soundray> BackPacker: for people who need a root shell, please advise using 'sudo -i', not 'sudo su', because you end up with a mixed-up environment.
[12:23] <mbd> damnit
[12:23] <T`> BackPacker, i dont have that app.. will install.. but why isn't it shown in mount/df ?
[12:23] <mbd> seems it didnt work for con-man
[12:23] <user-land> Hello, is there a way to do a disk check/repair in Ubuntu ?
[12:23] <ezenu> concept10, I changed this line: kernel         /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-generic root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash   -- and removed the splash portion
[12:23] <CharlieSu> bimberi: so for people to email me the only port i need to open would be 25 correct?  what would 110 be for?
[12:23] <BackPacker> soundray: ok, will do
[12:24] <concept10> ezenu, remove quiet
[12:24] <oem> and the wiki is useless
[12:24] <senator^zZz> BackPacker doesnt work, just gives a promt that says Password: and when I type in a password it says Sorry, try again
[12:24] <PhantasyHawk> [GuS] , that worked like a charm.  Thanks a ton
[12:24] <[GuS] > your welcome :)
[12:24] <concept10> ezenu, and you see all messages
[12:24] <soundray> BackPacker: and telling people how to set the root password should always be accompanied by a *dire* warning.
[12:24] <ezenu> concept10, ah, ok, thanks
[12:24] <BackPacker> T`: hold on.. just checking something
[12:24] <soundray> senator^zZz: please don't set a root password.
[12:25] <BackPacker> soundray: ok, thanks for the heads-up
[12:25] <soundray> senator^zZz: the favoured approach in Ubuntu, using sudo, is much safer.
[12:25] <oem> can someone help me with something?
[12:25] <senator^zZz> I need to log in as root to configure xwindows
[12:25] <senator^zZz> it wont work
[12:25] <mbd> BackPacker, as u can see, it is working now :D thanks again and have a nice day //eltese
[12:25] <soundray> senator^zZz: no, you don't. Use 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[12:25] <soundray> senator^zZz: or get a root shell with sudo -i
[12:26] <senator^zZz> brb try that
[12:26] <BackPacker> T`: you need to have nfs-common and nfs-kernel-server installed
[12:26] <oem> or do I need to just keep asking?
[12:26] <BackPacker> mbd: (eltese): great!
[12:26] <T`> BackPacker, but i'm just using a client!
[12:26] <Wiseguy> soundray, you got any ideas for me?
[12:27] <oem> or do I need to just keep asking?
[12:27] <ThePancakeMan> OK, I was not using su to install.  I think I've got it thanks to the tip here.  Thanks!
[12:27] <soundray> Wiseguy: sorry, I overlooked your response. Are you on dapper or edgy>
[12:27] <soundray> ?
[12:27] <geokok> hi. If I install something from source (make, make install) how do I un-install it afterwards?
[12:27] <Wiseguy> edgy
[12:27] <BackPacker> oem: try asking your question
[12:28] <oem> I did Backpacker
[12:28] <BackPacker> oem: maybe everybody missed it
[12:28] <oem> I asked if someone could help me learn how to change permissions to a partition in terminal
[12:28] <con-man> mbd: it works at the login in screen but as  soon as a login, my monitors revert back to being a mirror of each other
[12:28] <aleka> How do I map my web document root outside of the default to where I want it in apache2?
[12:28] <Polysics> hello all!
[12:28] <senator^zZz> soundray It wont work, it asks for root password
[12:28] <oem> I asked it a fwe times
[12:28] <BackPacker> geokok: depends on what it was you installed
[12:28] <Polysics> anyone has some time to waste on my modem?
[12:28] <Polysics> scanModem output is ugly :-)
[12:28] <BackPacker> oem: what do you mean by "permissions to a partition"?
[12:29] <soundray> Wiseguy: please try 'System-Administration-Networking' (rather than -Tools)
[12:29] <oem> I was running breezy, but it wouldn't updat to dapper
[12:29] <oem> so I bought a book with a dapper distro
[12:29] <soundray> senator^zZz: enter your user password at the prompt.
[12:29] <oem> thinking it would upgrade
[12:29] <geokok> BackPacker: Actually I havent done it yet cause of my question. Can u give me an example so I can learn?
[12:29] <Polysics> i'm probaly stuck up THAT creek without a paddle since it's a notebook modem, but i was still hoping :-)
[12:29] <oem> but what it did was intall the OS instead of update
[12:29] <soundray> senator^zZz: also, please spend a bit of time with the docs that ubotu suggests:
[12:29] <BackPacker> geokok: the easiest way is to delete the files
[12:30] <oem> so now I havemy old volume that i can only read a part of
[12:30] <soundray> !sudo | senator^zZz
[12:30] <ubotu> senator^zZz: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[12:30] <senator^zZz> soundray what userpassword? I have not set a userpassword yet... I wanna know how to set the userpassord
[12:30] <con-man> mbd: any ideas?
[12:30] <vcef> hi
[12:30] <soundray> senator^zZz: during the Ubuntu installation, you were asked to set a user password.
[12:30] <mbd> did u add Option     "DesktopSetup" "horizontal" to the device section?
[12:30] <geokok> BackPacker: so it all goes into a directory i can just delete? I assume that I wont be getting any updates for that app though right?
[12:30] <oem> and sometimes it loads the partition to read and other times it doesn't
[12:30] <soundray> senator^zZz: that's also the one you used to log in.
[12:31] <senator^zZz> soundray no, this is ubuntu lite... there was no such question
[12:31] <BackPacker> geokok: it could go into several directories
[12:31] <vcef> I've installed mprime (distributed prime searching) and it really slowes down my other programs.
[12:31] <con-man> mbd: yes i did. and now at the login screen extended desktop is enbaled. but as soon as I login it reverts back to mirror desktop
[12:31] <oem> so now I am trying to get out of reformating everytyhing and just using the partiotn
[12:31] <BackPacker> oem: and there's an entry for the partition in /etc/fstab?
[12:31] <dsquare> i have booted ubuntu from the live CD to partition my drive, how do i get the partition package?
[12:31] <oem> but alas I cannot even use the freespace on the partition
[12:31] <geokok> BackPacker: in that case I dont think I am up to it yet
[12:31] <vcef> It is already niced, but it doesn't help much.
[12:31] <oem> its unde /media/scsidisk
[12:31] <mbd> con-man, hmm....
[12:32] <soundray> senator^zZz: oh, ubuntu-lite is experimental as far as I know.
[12:32] <vcef> So is there a kernel package for Edgy with kernel that can handle batch scheduling?
[12:32] <con-man> mbd: what would cause that?
[12:32] <Polysics> no one has experience with modems then?
[12:32] <BackPacker> geokok: there's probably a way to create a .deb package using the checkinstall utility. Check it out
[12:32] <mbd> con-man, i have no idea why that is.. im sorry
[12:32] <senator^zZz> there must be a command just to set the rootpassword in ubuntu... something like settpass root
[12:32] <mbd> con-man, u could try 2 screen sections.. but then u cant move windows between the screens
[12:32] <con-man> does anyone know why exteneded desktop works at the login screen, but is disabled right when i log in
[12:32] <senator^zZz> but more complicated
[12:32] <BackPacker> oem: and is there an entry for it in /etc/fstab?
[12:32] <oem> when I ls fstab it shows emtpy
[12:32] <geokok> BackPacker: Ok then..off to break my system ;) thanks
[12:33] <BackPacker> geokok: welcome!
[12:33] <con-man> mbd: will i have two separate screens?
[12:33] <soundray> senator^zZz: what do you get when you enter 'sudo -i' and just hit Return at the password prompt?
[12:33] <BackPacker> oem: fstab is empty????
[12:33] <con-man> mbd: will i have two separate screens with two spearate cubes?
[12:33] <dsquare> what is the ubuntu partition manager name please?
[12:33] <senator^zZz> soundray I get Sorry, try again
[12:33] <senator^zZz> its wrong password
[12:33] <dsquare> the gui one
[12:33] <BackPacker> dsquare: gparted
[12:33] <senator^zZz> and I have not set a password for rootaccount
[12:33] <oem> I did 'ls /etc/fstab' and it showed me nothing
[12:33] <dsquare> thanks
[12:34] <BackPacker> oem: do 'cat /etc/fstab'
[12:34] <soundray> senator^zZz: is your prompt a $ or a # ?
[12:34] <mbd> con-man, yes. but, as i said.. u cant move windows between the screens, u have to have the launchers on the screen u want the program on
[12:34] <senator^zZz> $
[12:34] <con-man> can i move the mouse between them?
[12:34] <mbd> con-man, w8 and i will paste the serverlayout i use for that mode
[12:34] <mbd> con-man, yes
[12:34] <oem> ok what info do I need to tell you?
[12:34] <user-land> nautilus hangs while opening a folder, did you see this happen too ?
[12:34] <mbd> con-man, ofc =) would be kinda pointless otherwise, no? =)
[12:34] <soundray> senator^zZz: where did you get ubuntu-lite?
[12:35] <bimberi> CharlieSu: (sorry got called away) yes that's right.  Installing postfix opens port 25 (it might only be open to localhost I'm not sure) port 110 is pop3 which is used if you run a mailserver (dovecot for example) to allow people to collect mail remotely
[12:35] <BackPacker> oem: look for a line referring to /media/scsidisk
[12:35] <iStirk> For some reason, when I try to install Ubuntu I get an "Unable to start in graphics mode" error. Any ideas what could be causing this? I have an nVidia Geforce 6800 graphics card
[12:35] <senator^zZz> soundray hmmm.... http://ftp.cse.yzu.edu.tw/ftp/Linux/Ubuntu/ubuntulite/
[12:35] <vcef> where do I find how ubuntu kernel differs from vanilla?
[12:35] <mbd> con-man,  http://pastebin.ca/267605  the serverlayout named DualScreen is the interesting one
[12:35] <oem> none only sda3,sda6 and hdc under /dev
[12:36] <con-man> mbd: will the screens share the 4 desktops? or will there now be 8?
[12:36] <oem> and onel isting as proc
[12:36] <b0ss_> is there a way to put your whole ubuntu system under a proxy??
[12:36] <mbd> con-man, there will be 8
[12:36] <con-man> mbd: damn,
[12:36] <mbd> con-man, yeah :\
[12:36] <CharlieSu> bimberi: so if nobody needs to collect it remotely then i'm good..  for example if i use squirrelmail i wouldn't need that
[12:36] <BackPacker> oem: so the volume is probably being mounted automatically by hal or automount or something
[12:36] <b0ss_> is there a way to put your whole ubuntu system under a proxy??
[12:36] <con-man> mbd: I wanted 4 desktops, and i could just rotate the cube the way i wanted it
[12:36] <mbd> con-man, i would use that layout, if it worked with wine/pokersoftware
[12:36] <iStirk> For some reason, when I try to install Ubuntu I get an "Unable to start in graphics mode" error. Any ideas what could be causing this? I have an nVidia Geforce 6800 graphics card
[12:36] <oem> yes pmount
[12:36] <BackPacker> oem: Is this the disk you tried upgrading to Dapper on?
[12:36] <CharlieSu> bimberi: also..  my postfix file says mynetworks = <IP_ADDRESS>/8, does that mean i will not get mail from outside?
[12:36] <Polysics> i wonder how it is so hard to find out WHICH modem i have... shouldn't firmware say it somewhere?
[12:36] <soundray> senator^zZz: it doesn't seem to be an 'official' ubuntu project to me.
[12:36] <oem> yes
[12:36] <Rprp> bash: php: command not found, does someone know how i can run is from a command?
[12:37] <oem> I have a single drive
[12:37] <con-man> mbd: i wanted each screen to have the same cube, but the cube would rotate independantly on each screen
[12:37] <soundray> senator^zZz: why did you go for the lite rather than the full ubuntu?
[12:37] <senator^zZz> soundray no ubuntulite.org had no download links
[12:37] <BackPacker> oem: and it's the one that's mounted on /media/scsidisk?
[12:37] <oem> yes
[12:37] <senator^zZz> so someone told me here a few days ago about that link instead
[12:37] <Agrajag> it sure does have a lot of links to other things in its download area
[12:37] <mbd> con-man, xinerama and dualscreen seems to be the only ways.. only ways ive found out about atleast.. mail to ati&amd and complain and explain how u want it to work
[12:37] <bluefox83> tab ish ebil >.>
[12:37] <Rprp> bash: php: command not found, does someone know how i can run is from a command?
[12:37] <soundray> senator^zZz: why did you go for the lite rather than the full ubuntu?
[12:37] <BackPacker> oem: and just to get it clear, it's one of the partitions on this disk that you can't access?
[12:38] <mbd> con-man, yeah, me too.. and that each screen had its own task list (in xfce, dont know how it is in gnome)
[12:38] <senator^zZz> soundray because the computer is 200mhz and 32mb ram
[12:38] <oem> I have a 250g disk, when I installed dapper I made small partition of 25g thinking I would be able to delete the partition that had breezy
[12:39] <oem> but it doesn't want to read the memory partition breezy was using
[12:39] <barktpolar> If I try to download a ISO from a torrent while the connection is firewalled, Will it corrupt the download?
[12:39] <Rprp> bash: php: command not found, does someone know how i can run is from a command?
[12:39] <mjr> no
[12:39] <BackPacker> oem: so you installed dapper on the 25g partition?
[12:39] <oem> yes
[12:40] <BackPacker> oem: and it's the breezy partition that you can't access?
[12:40] <oem> right
[12:40] <IdleOne> barktpolar, it shouldnt affect the file
[12:40] <BackPacker> oem: do you know the partition name?
[12:40] <senator^zZz> soundray do you know how to set the root password? or do you think there might be a backdoor version with a rootpassword already set?
[12:40] <iStirk> For some reason, when I try to install Ubuntu I get an "Unable to start in graphics mode" error. Any ideas what could be causing this? I have an nVidia Geforce 6800 graphics card.
[12:40] <oem> should have been sda1
[12:40] <BackPacker> oem: have you tried manually mounting /dev/sda1?
[12:41] <soundray> senator^zZz: on a normal ubuntu, you can force a root password with 'sudo passwd'. But you have to know the user password in order to do this.
[12:41] <oem> I am not that familiar with terminal yet, part of why I came here
[12:41] <bimberi> CharlieSu: if i've got it right, that means that only local users can use postfix to send mail (so you won't be a spam gateway).  receiving is another issue.  do a 'sudo netstat -plunt' and see if it is listening on <IP_ADDRESS>:25
[12:41] <soundray> senator^zZz: what you could try is boot in recovery mode, which opens a root shell without a password if it's standard.
[12:41] <transgress_> i've been having some problems with the bcm43xx modules causing my computer to hang
[12:41] <BackPacker> oem: ok, try the following. First, open a terminal and enter "mkdir /mnt/breezy" (without the quotes)
[12:41] <senator^zZz> soundray ok ubuntulite.org doenst conatin alot of information so I guess I will get not further then
[12:42] <soundray> senator^zZz: from there, you can just run 'passwd'
[12:42] <Lam_> when i load a cd rom in the drive, half of the files are named correctly, but the other half are named wrong with these 001, 002, 00a, 00c like suffixes. what's going on?
[12:42] <BackPacker> oem: sorry, that should be "sudo mkdir /mnt/breezy"
[12:42] <soundray> senator^zZz: did it install grub?
[12:42] <transgress_> it'll stop it from rebooting saying it can't restart the hardware, and i can't open new items, but the ones i have opened work fairly normally
[12:42] <transgress_> anyone familiar with this?
[12:42] <senator^zZz> soundray I will try recoverymode now... thanks... brb
[12:42] <oem> done
[12:42] <t_u_x> w
[12:43] <umista_> how can uninstall vmware?
[12:43] <bimberi> CharlieSu: I'm fairly sure that by default, postfix is set up to receive mail from outside, but it will only accept it for local users
[12:43] <BackPacker> oem: now do this: "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/breezy"
[12:43] <webmaren> i can't compile anything
[12:43] <BackPacker> oem: Ooops! should be "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/breezy"
[12:44] <BackPacker> oem: I'll remember that 'sudo' one of these days...
[12:44] <umista_> is there a ./ remove?
[12:44] <webmaren> everytime i run a configure script it says "c compiler cannot create executables
[12:44] <gbw> hello, i am trying to run an application, but it tells me that exec: 8: /usr/local/esterelv5_21/bin/strlsh: not found, although there is such file in the directory
[12:44] <oem> its ok I rememebered to
[12:44] <oem> dpne
[12:44] <qsuc> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI tells me how to install the ati drivers for my X700, but how can I do that when Ubuntu crashes every time it tries to load the GUI?
[12:44] <BackPacker> oem: now do "ls -l /mnt/breezy"
[12:44] <BackPacker> oem: do you get a directory listing?
[12:45] <bimberi> webmaren: install build-essential
[12:45] <webmaren> qsuc, do you have another machine
[12:45] <oem> yep
[12:45] <CharlieSu> bimberi: it is listening..
[12:45] <CharlieSu> bimberi: how can i make sure it will only accept mail for local users?  the main.cf file doesn't have man options by default
[12:45] <qsuc> no
[12:45] <BackPacker> oem: then the partition is probably ok. You could mount it the way I said, but really you'd want it to mount automatically
[12:45] <qsuc> well i mean i do
[12:45] <con-man> mbd: im having the same issue with this setup
[12:45] <webmaren> qsuc, live near a library
[12:46] <con-man> mbd: its fine at the login screen
[12:46] <qsuc> webmaren: why? to read the instructions
[12:46] <soundray> gbw: this strlsh itself contains a reference to a file that doesn't exist.
[12:46] <oem> it does sometimes, but the problem is that I cannot execute or wrtie
[12:46] <con-man> mbd: as soon as I login it goes back to mirror desktop
[12:46] <qsuc> webmaren - i do but it's windows xp?
[12:46] <Lam_> how do i re-execute fstab to remount anything i've unmounted?
[12:46] <webmaren> qsuc, you could print out the instruction and run them in safe mode
[12:46] <soundray> gbw: what do you get from 'head -n 1 /usr/local/esterelv5_21/bin/strlsh'?
[12:46] <gbw> soundray,  ohh, but i dont know which file it is loking for
[12:46] <con-man> does anyone know why my extended desktop works at the login screen, but turns off as soon as I log in?
[12:46] <BackPacker> oem: when you say "sometimes" do you know what is is that makes the difference?
[12:46] <qsuc> recovery mode from pressing exit when ubuntu is loading? webmaren
[12:46] <oem> nope
[12:47] <gbw> soundray, it is a binary file
[12:47] <webmaren> qsuc, hit escape at the GRUB menu, and then select recovery mode
[12:47] <qsuc> sweet, thanks webmaren
[12:47] <webmaren> anytime
[12:47] <senator^zZz> soundray thanks it worked... the default root password in ubuntu lite 1.1 was xxxx
[12:47] <umista_> is there a way to change the res on from grub to my bootup screen
[12:47] <senator^zZz> finally
[12:47] <Corbeaux> lol, i left the ubuntu cd in my drive and it booted into ubuntu up when windows crash
[12:47] <gbw> soundray, i got a bunch of unreadable characters
[12:47] <TuxProbe> hello fellow tux'ers.. i came to find sudo as the most powerfull tool to use while implementing root-desktop-scripts on my user desktop...
[12:48] <soundray> gbw: if you're experienced or adventurous, you could run your application with strace
[12:48] <BackPacker> oem: with disks that are mounted from /etc/fstab, you can specify the perms there. With automounted SCSI disks, I just don't know
[12:48] <bimberi> CharlieSu: sorry, that i'm really not sure about.  Either someone else here knows postfix config better than I or it's to the Doco for you :)
[12:48] <oem> when I go to properties of /media/scsi it tells me I am not the owner of the directory so I cannot change anything
[12:48] <TuxProbe> how can i make the sudo prompt for a password via gui?!
[12:48] <con-man> does anyone know why my extended desktop works at the login screen, but turns off as soon as I log in?
[12:48] <bimberi> TuxProbe: gksudo
[12:48] <iStirk> For some reason, when I try to install Ubuntu I get an "Unable to start in graphics mode" error. Any ideas what could be causing this? I have an nVidia Geforce 6800 graphics card.
[12:48] <CharlieSu> bimberi: Doco for me lol.. thanks bud.. you have helped out a lot
[12:48] <TuxProbe> i figured, if any dist knew about sudo - it would be ubuntu..
[12:48] <BackPacker> oem: that's because it's automounted
[12:48] <oem> ah is the a good wiki page on how to move the scsidisk to fstab?
[12:48] <bimberi> CharlieSu: cool :)
[12:48] <con-man> anyone?
[12:48] <con-man> anyone at all?
[12:48] <TuxProbe> bimberi: gksudo is not in gentoo's vocabulary
[12:48] <umista_> is there a way to change the res on from grub to my bootup screen
[12:48] <gbw> soundray, can you try this application http://www-sop.inria.fr/meije/esterel/getting-esterel.html,  i must get it working, it is seterell compiler
[12:48] <TuxProbe> bimberi: is it a deb pkg?
[12:49] <con-man> :'(
[12:49] <BackPacker> oem: I've just about reached the end of my knowledge on this. I know how linux handles IDE but not SCSI
[12:49] <Lam_> how do i remount anything that i've unmounted through fstab?
[12:49] <bimberi> TuxProbe: this is #ubuntu though :)
[12:49] <con-man> can anyone help me?
[12:49] <oem> btw there is no fstab under /etc
[12:49] <con-man> oem: lies
[12:49] <bimberi> TuxProbe: it's part of the "gksu" package
[12:49] <soundray> oem: create a directory with 'sudo mkdir /media/scsi/accessforall' and make it read-writable for everyone with 'sudo chmod 777 /media/scsi/accessforall'
[12:49] <oem> I am looking sat the directory right now
[12:49] <BackPacker> oem: but you just told me that you got a directory listing from "cat /etc/fstab"!
[12:49] <con-man> does anyone know why my extended desktop works at the login screen, but turns off as soon as I log in?
[12:50] <oem> Hey this thing is possesed
[12:50] <bimberi> TuxProbe: and apologies, i didn't read all of your posts
[12:50] <con-man> ???
[12:50] <TuxProbe> bimberi: A library for integration of su into applications! just what i needed thx :)
[12:50] <oem> I went in the file browser to /etc
[12:50] <con-man> no one can help me?
[12:50] <BackPacker> oem:  let me guess: it's back, right?
[12:50] <oem> and found no fstab driectory
[12:50] <bimberi> TuxProbe: np :)
[12:50] <con-man> there are 900 ppl in this channel
[12:50] <soundray> gbw: your best bet is to install the RPM package with alien
[12:50] <soundray> !alien | gbw
[12:50] <Ubotwo> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[12:51] <Dragen> oem: fstab is a file.  not a directory
[12:51] <sindrum> con: what kind of gpu do you have?
[12:51] <con-man> ati
[12:51] <gbw> soundray, strace gives me string like this access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) and i dont have such file
[12:51] <con-man> sindrum: ati
[12:51] <con-man> sindrum: x1600
[12:51] <oem> <-- idiot,
[12:51] <TuxProbe> bimberi: it depends on the sudo pkg? or can i safely uninstall that and use this library?
[12:51] <sindrum> con: same as mine
[12:51] <gbw> soundray, it is not an rpm package, it is tgz
[12:51] <oem> I was looking for a directory not a file
[12:51] <Dragen> oem, lol it's a common mistake
[12:51] <BackPacker> oem:  it's the file that specifies what gets mounted where
[12:52] <con-man> sindrum: any ideas?
[12:52] <sindrum> con: I cant help you with that exact problem but i can say ati cards dont work right in ubuntu...
[12:52] <oem> ok so thats the first stop in fixing it
[12:52] <con-man> sindrum: mine works fine except for that one issue
[12:52] <BackPacker> oem: what is?
[12:52] <oem> fstab
[12:52] <Dragen> oem: be careful what you change in there, because you can make your linux distro non-bootable
[12:52] <oem> I assume I need to create a line for sda1 there
[12:52] <sindrum> con: did you try ubuntuforums ?
[12:52] <cntb-guest> default install from alternateCD gives me some animation of minimize a window . want to disable those  animated rectangles
[12:52] <bimberi> TuxProbe: I doubt it.  If it's a dependency....
[12:52] <TuxProbe> bimberi: aw why would I anyways - thx, ill blog my script results for u all :)
[12:53] <con-man> sindrum: the forums are slow
[12:53] <sindrum> there usually good at finding out whats wrong
[12:53] <BackPacker> oem: if it's being automounted by pmount then there will be a configuration file for it somewhere else, I think
[12:53] <con-man> sindrum: ill try them if i have to
[12:53] <oem> hmm so look for a config file for pmount?
[12:53] <BackPacker> oem: but I don't know how linux handles automounted SCSI disks...
[12:53] <soundray> gbw: sorry, you will have to ask the author of this compiler to help you get it running on Ubuntu.
[12:53] <BackPacker> oem: and I dont know how pmount works, either
[12:54] <BackPacker> oem: maybe someone else here does...
[12:54] <gbw> ahh so it is only for redhat
[12:54] <Dragen> oem: do you see the SCSI device being mounted in 'fstab'?
[12:54] <gbw> damn it
[12:54] <oem> no
[12:54] <oem> well yes
[12:54] <soundray> gbw: as it is, they've tailored it to RedHat 6.0, and this is next to impossible to install on your system.
[12:54] <BackPacker> oem: :-)
[12:54] <oem> it has sda6 and sda3 but not sda1
[12:54] <Dragen> oem: then that's where it's being mounted
[12:54] <Kervan> please help what packages i need to use hp psc 1210
[12:54] <Kervan> i have installed hlip but i cant use
[12:54] <BackPacker> oem: I wish you'd said that earlier...
[12:54] <gbw> i will try the windows version
[12:55] <oem> sda1 is in the pmount file
[12:55] <pibarnas> Could I fix the apt when it blows out?!? Well, every software based on it isn't opening... how could I recover it?? I'm using edgy...
[12:56] <soundray> pibarnas: what do you get from 'sudo apt-get -f install'? Please paste the output on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[12:56] <BackPacker> oem: what makes you think pmount is automounting sda1?
 I will!
[12:56] <maxxism> Hey all.  Did they remove the K7 Kernel builds from Edgy???
[12:57] <bimberi> !generic | maxxism
[12:57] <maxxism> lame
[12:57] <con-man> does anyone know why my extended desktop works at the login screen, but turns off as soon as I log in?
[12:57] <oem> because I am looking at the file pmount.allow and it is ther, plus when I go to the computer it shows it as a 215.g volume and anytime I try to do anyting to it its gives a message about pmount
[12:57] <bimberi> maxxism: argh, no bot :|

[12:58] <con-man> does anyone know why my extended desktop works at the login screen, but turns off as soon as I log in?
[12:58] <bimberi> argh, it's a generic flood
 ooops, okay... sorry!
[12:58] <PinauD> hi
[12:58] <PinauD> does anyone know how to use fortran?
 It's there: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35342/
[12:58] <oem> is it as simple as deleting /dev/sda from the pmount file, and writing it in the fstab file?
[12:59] <BackPacker> oem: that could be your problem, if it's in pmount.allow but not in fstab. Especially if the other partitions are in fstab
[12:59] <asgilder> I've got ubuntu installed, and the hard drive I had it installed to is also my music hard drive. How do I find the files with the music? I think they're in another partition on the drive.
[12:59] <Kervan> soundray: hpijs installed allready
[12:59] <con-man> does anyone know why my extended desktop works at the login screen, but turns off as soon as I log in?
[12:59] <soundray> !printing | Kervan
[12:59] <ubotu> Kervan: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[01:00] <oem> should I just copy the same info from the other ext3 sda3?
[01:00] <xen> Quick question.  Overall, what has better support on linux: nvidia or ati?
[01:00] <thoreauputic> nvidia
[01:00] <tonyyarusso> nvidia
[01:00] <BackPacker> oem: you mean in /etc/fstab?
[01:00] <dimach> !kernel | dimach
[01:00] <Kervan> ubotu: i have installed all tools about hp and cups
[01:00] <ubotu> dimach: kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[01:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about i have installed all tools about hp and cups - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:00] <soundray> pibarnas: this is serious. If it was my system, I would back up the data and reinstall
[01:00] <oem> yes
[01:00] <peder_> Dec 5 01:08:11 pedbar authdaemond: libauthvchkpw.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory <- Anyone experienced same problem?
[01:00] <con-man> does anyone have any idea
[01:00] <BackPacker> oem: not exactly. Can you show me what one of the lines says?
[01:00] <oem> /dev/sda3       /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
[01:01] <con-man> my extended desktop works at the login screen, but turns off as soon as I log in?
[01:01] <bimberi> asgilder: is it already mounted? check with 'df'  otherwise use 'sudo fdisk -l' to see the partitions and then you can mount the one you want
[01:01] <BackPacker> oem: that was fast!
[01:01] <Dragen> lol
[01:01] <oem> I was already heading there
[01:01] <oem> I was thinkg just change sda3 to sda1
[01:01] <BackPacker> oem: copy the line, change the sda3 to sda1, change the / to wherever you want it mounted
[01:01] <con-man> im sooo close
 Well, I suspected that! I'll start to backup up the system...
[01:01] <con-man> why would it do that
[01:01] <con-man> once i get that fixed im set
[01:01] <BackPacker> oem: if you don't change the / it won't work. It will try to mount it on top of the root filesystem
[01:02] <asgilder> How do I get into the command line?
[01:02] <bimberi> asgilder: Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
[01:02] <oem> ok so just something like/sda1 should work?
[01:02] <Dragen> asglider, you can hit ALT-F2 and type "gnome-terminal"
[01:02] <soundray> pibarnas: you could try to trace the error and recover, but unless you've customized your system a lot, reinstallation is faster.
[01:02] <BackPacker> oem: you'll also want to put a # at the start of the line in pmount.allow so that pmount doesn't handle it
[01:02] <Rprp> Well, nl.archive.ubuntu.com is down?
[01:02] <BackPacker> oem: not just like that it won't. you need to create a directory where you want to mount it
[01:02] <mariano> asgilder: Applications-> Accessories, no?
[01:03] <BackPacker> oem: you already created the /mnt/breezy directory earlier. You could mount it there
 I understand... thank you!
[01:03] <oem> so home/oem/desktop is workabnle?
[01:03] <BSDnux> does anyone know how to find out what channels the mixer supports? i doN't get any sound in tvtime and it seems to be a problem with the line-in settings, when i select "line" as the input source in xfce4-mixer, it always jumps back to "mic"...
[01:03] <oem> when you say to put the # you mean inside the pmount file?
[01:03] <con-man> does anyone know why my displays settings keep resseting when i log in
[01:03] <BackPacker> oem: /home/oem/desktop is not a good place to mount anything!
[01:04] <oem> /mnt/sda then?
[01:04] <BackPacker> oem: edit pmount.allow and add a # at the start of the line for sda1
[01:04] <BackPacker> oem: /mnt/sda isn't a good name but /mnt/sda1 could be
[01:04] <Dragen> no, mkdir in /mnt and call it whatever you want,  like /mnt/myfiles
[01:04] <con-man> anyone?
[01:04] <con-man> does anyone know why my displays settings keep resseting when i log in
[01:04] <oem> ha meant that
[01:04] <BackPacker> oem: of course, you'd have to create the /mnt/sda1 directory
[01:05] <BackPacker> oem: with "mkdir /mnt/sda1"
[01:05] <soundray> con-man: I think this might be because it applies your personal setting from the Screen Resolution dialog.
[01:05] <oem> sould the breezy would work to use?
[01:05] <BackPacker> oem: but I'd suggest giving it a better name than that, like /mnt/breezy. Which you've already created
[01:05] <con-man> kk
[01:05] <asgilder> When I get into sudo fdisk it asks for a password, but won't let me type one.
[01:05] <Dragen> asglider, use your login password
[01:05] <tonyyarusso> asgilder: It won't show the characters, but it is taking the input
[01:05] <oem> cool, I'm learning alot
[01:05] <ezenu> oem, I'd recommend something descriptive. e.g., /mnt/data, /mnt/win, /mnt/share -- these are what I use. The /dev/x is different
[01:06] <BackPacker> oem: so the line in /etc/fstab would look like this: /dev/sda1       /mnt/breezy               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
[01:06] <soundray> asgilder: it will let you type it - it just doesn't echo the keystrokes.
[01:06] <rb__> in #nlnog
[01:06] <ezenu> oem, but it doesn't really matter
[01:06] <oem> yep thats what I have it looking like now
[01:06] <BackPacker> ezenu: it's his old Breezy  partitions, so I suggested /mnt/breezy
[01:06] <oem> only have to save everything and  reboot or no?
[01:06] <maxxism> surprising.  my upgrade from dapper to edgy worked without any problems that i can see.
[01:07] <BackPacker> oem: have you edited pmount.allow?
[01:07] <oem> yes
[01:07] <ezenu> BackPacker, oh ok. I was thinking that /mnt/sda1 was an obscure title
[01:07] <soundray> maxxism: it's done so for thousands of users who we don't get to see here ;)
[01:07] <BackPacker> oem: you don't have to reboot yet. Remember, it's already mounted in /mnt/breezy. You did that earlier.
[01:07] <oem> but it doesn't seem to want to let me save anyof this
[01:07] <oem> ah
[01:07] <BackPacker> oem: next time you boot it should work
[01:08] <kelvie> I just finished doing a dist-upgrade from Dapper to Edgy, and it complains about libuim0 not letting libuim3 install
[01:08] <BackPacker> oem: you need to be root to edit those files
[01:08] <kelvie> and as such, all apt-gets fail at the dep check
[01:08] <asgilder> Okay... how to mount?
[01:08] <BackPacker> oem: what did you edit them in? Which program?
[01:08] <kelvie> How do I fix that?
[01:08] <oem> gedit
[01:08] <BackPacker> oem: you're running Gnome desktop?
[01:08] <oem> but I opened them with filebrowser not in terminal
[01:08] <oem> yes
[01:08] <toodles> im sure this has been asked many times but im debating what to install i have a celeron 466mhz laptop with a 6gig hdd and 256megs of ram what should i be installing:) would kubuntu run to slow?
[01:09] <Dragen> oem you didn't sudo the file
[01:09] <BackPacker> oem: I use KDE. Do you have a terminal open?
[01:09] <maxxism> soundray  I have just heard so many people with issues.
[01:09] <toodles> i have xp on it now so anything really faster and smoother would be nice:)
[01:09] <oem> yep
[01:09] <BackPacker> oem: enter "sudo gedit /etc/fstab" and edit that one
[01:09] <soundray> maxxism: that's what I'm saying: you don't hear from the people who don't have issues.
[01:09] <tonyyarusso> toodles: It would be doable, but maybe not the most pleasant with Kubuntu.  I'd try Xubuntu, which is pretty sweet these days.
[01:09] <BackPacker> oem: and do "sudo gedit /etc/pmount.allow"
[01:09] <mon_> is there a way to force reloading the groups a user's in? (may sound a bit weird..)
[01:10] <maxxism> soundray true true.
[01:10] <oem> let me guess save what I have as fstab1 then open in sudo terminal and then save as fstab
[01:10] <BackPacker> oem: make the changes and save, then close the other gedit window(s)
[01:10] <mon_> except relogin
[01:10] <maxxism> ahhhh firefox 2 is nice
[01:10] <sindrum> you could use ubuntu on the laptop...i installed breezy on a crappier box and it ran ok
[01:10] <Dragen> oem, make sure you don't close the terminal window, behind gedit, cuz this will close the thread
[01:10] <soundray> kelvie: try a 'sudo apt-get --purge remove libuim0'. It shouldn't be needed any more.
[01:10] <toodles> tonyyarusso: and with xubuntu with ease i can browse the net, irc, play mp3s, email and whatnot?
[01:11] <BackPacker> oem: better to do "sudo gedit /etc/fstab" and copy and paste the line from the original gedit window
[01:11] <toodles> i mean if ubuntu or kubuntu would run faster and smoother then xp is running on the laptop now i would be happy:)
[01:11] <BackPacker> oem: then do "sudo gedit pmount.allow" and put the # at the start of the sda1 line
[01:11] <tonyyarusso> toodles: Sure.  Take a look around the screenshots on osdir.com if you want to check it out ahead of time.  You can actually have both Xubuntu and Kubuntu at the same time and see which you prefer.
[01:11] <asgilder> Can I mount a fat32 drive in Ubuntu?
[01:11] <sindrum> it depends on how your going to use it
[01:11] <Dragen> toodles, i'm running Nvidia/Beryl and it runs better than Vista  ;)
[01:12] <soundray> !fat32 | asgilder
[01:12] <ubotu> asgilder: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[01:12] <BackPacker> asgilder: yes, you can
[01:12] <toodles> hmmm
[01:12] <toodles> oh the decisions:) i only have 1 blank cd so i need to figure out which 1 to burn:)
[01:12] <oem> ok all done
[01:12] <Dragen> toodles, between ubuntu and kubuntu?
[01:12] <toodles> kubuntu just looks so pleasing haha
[01:12] <BackPacker> oem: great
[01:12] <kelvie> soundray: did that, it didn't work
[01:12] <toodles> i dunno
[01:13] <soundray> !doesn't work | kelvie
[01:13] <ubotu> kelvie: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[01:13] <toodles> i jsut want something that will run better then xp on this lappy
[01:13] <kelvie> soundray: but I think I fixed it.. I just removed all the uim-related packages at once
[01:13] <tonyyarusso> toodles: Burn a minimal and install from there ;)  (well, if you want)
[01:13] <kelvie> :/
[01:13] <toodles> tony as in installing ubuntu server then install from there?
[01:13] <Dragen> toodles, i know i'm gonna get beat up for saying this in the ubuntu channel, but I like Kubuntu better  ;)
[01:14] <toodles> dragen but are u running kubuntu on a shitty computer?
[01:14] <BackPacker> Dragen: seconded :-)
[01:14] <Dragen> haha, nah it's a Dell Precision M90
[01:14] <sindrum> im just the opposite, i prefer ubuntu
[01:14] <toodles> from what ive read kubuntu seems less laggy then ubuntu due to the gnome or some shit
[01:14] <tonyyarusso> toodles: It's one way.  The only advantage is if you install two from there and use aptitude instead of apt-get it's easier to remove one to save disk space later.
[01:14] <Dragen> felt really limited by Gnome
[01:14] <BackPacker> soundray: oh, no, not the two-by-four :-)
[01:14] <Dragen> I will say (personally) i noticed my 3d desktop cube / Beryl ran faster in Kubuntu
[01:15] <badgerman> Hi everyone
[01:15] <toodles> well this question may make it easier will kubuntu and ubuntu both run faster then xp is running on the machine?
[01:15] <BackPacker> toodles: I'm running Kubuntu on a 1.2 MHz box, if that's useful information...
[01:15] <sean_micken|work> i just upgraded a system from dapper to edgy.  is the start up supposed to be so bare now?  i don't see any output of things starting....?
[01:15] <toodles> back that is faster then what i have:)
[01:15] <Dragen> lol soundray
[01:15] <toodles> 466mhz celeron 256megs of ram laptop is what i have
[01:15] <IdleOne> funny thing happening.. when I enter sudo apt-get whatever Im not being asked for my password. anybody know why that is?
[01:16] <FirstStrike> holy slow laptop batman
[01:16] <toodles> hahah yeah
[01:16] <BackPacker> toodles: Xubuntu would run a tad faster than Kubuntu then :-)
[01:16] <toodles> well as i said im just looking for something quicker then xp
[01:16] <Dragen> haha
[01:16] <toodles> so if kubuntu would be id rather just run that
[01:16] <FirstStrike> toodles: xubuntu is your ticket
[01:16] <toodles> im already used to xp on it for the past 2 years
[01:16] <sindrum> floppy linux will run good on it
[01:16] <BackPacker> IdleOne: have you changed /etc/sudoers by any chance?
[01:16] <soundray> IdleOne: it only asks for your password if you haven't used sudo in the past 15 minutes
[01:16] <iStirk> For some reason, when I try to install Ubuntu I get an "Unable to start in graphics mode" error. Any ideas what could be causing this? I have an nVidia Geforce 6800 graphics card.
[01:16] <FirstStrike> kubuntu is too resource heavy for that laptop
[01:16] <toodles> sindrum i want gui:)
[01:16] <FirstStrike> !xubuntu
[01:16] <ubotu> Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop"
[01:17] <toodles> how about ubuntu then/
[01:17] <oem> ok still having a problem
[01:17] <Dragen> toodles, really the only difference between the two is Gnome/KDE.  in fact, you can run BOTH if you want and choose your session.  your packages are just a little more cluttered
[01:17] <IdleOne> BackPacker,  no and soundray  I just rebooted machine so it should ask right?
[01:17] <sindrum> right right...just make sure everything is compatible first
[01:17] <max_> how do you change your nick?
[01:17] <FirstStrike> toodles: both gnome/kde are too graphic heavy imo for that laptop. xubuntu is much more light weight and should run best.
[01:17] <sindrum> iv ran into problems with some older stuff...bios or something
[01:17] <FirstStrike> max_: /nick newnickhere
[01:17] <BackPacker> IdleOne: and you haven't logged in as root... :-)
[01:17] <oem> its still won't let me modify the partition
[01:17] <IdleOne> max_,  /nick newnick
[01:17] <con-man> does anyone here know how to remove all my display preferences from my account.
[01:17] <IdleOne> BackPacker,  nope
[01:18] <max_> thanks
[01:18] <IdleOne> no problem
[01:18] <soundray> IdleOne: I'm not sure. I think the timestamp matters, not whether you've rebooted.
[01:18] <BackPacker> oem: do this in a terminal: ls -ld /mnt/breezy
[01:18] <bimberi> toodles: i have a desktop with the same specs.  Xubuntu would be a good choice (I've tried all 3 on it)
[01:18] <toodles> hrm well im not looking for "the best" im looking for whats better then xp i do like looking at a nice desktop to since i have to stare at it the whole time im using the computer id like it to look good as well
[01:18] <IdleOne> BackPacker,  and soundray  I'll wait fifteen and see
[01:18] <IdleOne> thanks
[01:18] <con-man> does anyone know how I can remove my display prefs from my acount. ive got stuff that is set up in xorg.conf that seems to be overridden when i log in
[01:18] <FirstStrike> toodles: you can customize the gui anyway you want.
[01:18] <toodles> the ss of xubuntu look like win95:)
[01:18] <Dragen> Kubuntu feels a little more like windows.  so if that's what you're comfortable with, go with that.
[01:19] <grexk> helloo everyone, how can I downgrade amd64 to x86 w/out reinstallation?
[01:19] <oem> I got :drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 2006-11-03 23:32 /mnt/breezy
[01:19] <toodles> dragen do u think it would run better then xp on that machine?
[01:19] <soundray> con-man: I suggest you first test the theory and create a new user, see if it happens there, too.
[01:19] <iStirk> For some reason, when I try to install Ubuntu I get an "Unable to start in graphics mode" error. Any ideas what could be causing this? I have an nVidia Geforce 6800 graphics card.
[01:19] <BackPacker> Dragen: if Kubuntu felt like Windows, I'd jump out of mine
[01:19] <con-man> soundray: good idea
[01:19] <BackPacker> oem: wait one, please. I need a nature break...
[01:19] <Dragen> toodles, I think Linux runs better period lol.. but the only difference between them is the Desktop Environment..
[01:19] <soundray> IdleOne: could try 'sudo -k' as well
[01:19] <IdleOne> toodles,  xubuntu will definately run faster then XP
[01:19] <Dragen> YOU pick what window managers you want to use
[01:19] <ozoneco> where are the man files at?
[01:19] <oem> no worries you've been to helpful
[01:19] <IdleOne> soundray,  -k?
[01:19] <Dragen> Xubuntu is really stripped down to run fast, if that's what you're looking for
[01:19] <toodles> is there any ss besides the xubuntu site with some sample desktops?
[01:20] <soundray> con-man: also, have you looked at the options that 'System-Preferences-Screen Resolution' gives you?
[01:20] <toodles> all the laptop is for is playing mp3s, browsing the net, irc, email
[01:20] <soundray> IdleOne: invalidates the users timestamp
[01:20] <Skrot> Hi. Can the ffmpeg version that comes with ubuntu encode video to h264?
[01:20] <keegan_> Hello everyone,  I followed the instructions on the Beryl wiki on how to install it on my Edgy Eft system.  The problem is when I start beryl borders come up around my applications and I can't move them.  I have a GeForce 5200 with the Nvidia drivers from the edgy repo.  Anyone know how to fix this problem?
[01:20] <scrupul0us> im having issues with mysql on a fresh install of edgy.. when i added new users via phpmyadmin they cant login... the ONLY account that CAN login is root... not even the account i made during install... please help
[01:20] <soundray> IdleOne: 'man sudo' -- magic
[01:20] <toodles> but i dont wanna install xubuntu and spend the next 2 days installing other crap to get it running:)
[01:20] <keegan_> borders don't come up...sorry
[01:20] <Dragen> keegan, are you starting up with 'beryl-manager'
[01:20] <keegan_> Yes I am.
[01:20] <IdleOne> soundray,  ok got it . I had just added some new aliases to .bashrc and thought perhaps that did it
[01:21] <Dragen> ok you need to add an entry to your xorg.conf file..
[01:21] <FirstStrike> toodles: it's lightweight, not featureless
[01:21] <soundray> Skrot: I think it can, but I would try mencoder first
[01:21] <keegan_> Do you know where I could find that entry?
[01:21] <Dragen> getting it...
[01:21] <keegan_> Thanks man
[01:21] <ziff> im looking for a cms system with a good forum to use, ive tryed phpnuke but people says its insecure
[01:21] <toodles> is there a way if i installed xubuntu and wanted to end up on kubuntu off the xubuntu install
[01:21] <asgilder> There are no files in my fat32 partition! The folders are there, but files aren't.
[01:21] <mcphail> scrupul0us: mysql users are not the same as your system's users...
[01:21] <bimberi> toodles: it installed and ran fine on my desktop.  I did use the alternate CD to install though - the Desktop CD wouldn't boot
[01:22] <FirstStrike> ziff: I like SMF (Simple Machine Forum)
[01:22] <Dragen> keegan, under your DEVICE and SCREEN sections, make sure you have this:  Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
[01:22] <soundray> ziff: perhaps you'll like zope
[01:22] <BackPacker> oem: how are you trying to access it?
[01:22] <soundray> !zope | ziff
[01:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about zope - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:22] <bimberi> toodles: yes, you can install kubuntu-desktop
[01:22] <scrupul0us> mcphail.. right... but im not talking system.. im talking mysql
[01:22] <FirstStrike> It's easy to use, has a good community backing and a very nice built-in update feature.
[01:22] <Dragen> keegan, the path is  /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:22] <keegan_> whats the path to the xserver config file?
[01:22] <soundray> !zope-common | ziff
[01:22] <BackPacker> oem: what I mean is, how are you trying to modify it?
[01:22] <ubotu> zope-common: common settings and scripts for zope installations. In component main, is optional. Version 0.5.24 (edgy), package size 37 kB, installed size 232 kB
[01:22] <bimberi> toodles: which will be a large download though
[01:22] <BackPacker> oem: and what error message do you get?
[01:22] <toodles> oh
[01:22] <soundray> arrgh
[01:22] <oem> I am using the file browser with super user access through Konqueror
[01:22] <maxxism> !man
[01:22] <ubotu> The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[01:22] <scrupul0us> mcphail: i added new users underphpmyadmin.. and they cant login via phpmyadmin
[01:23] <con-man> soundray: i made a new account, and the issue doesnt happen in the new account
[01:23] <maxxism> uboto rocks
[01:23] <oem> it just tells me I don't have permission, only the owner of the file can
[01:23] <BackPacker> oem:  and how are you trying to modify it?
[01:23] <toodles> cuz i only have 1 cd so i figured if i could burn and install xubuntu then move to ubuntu then if that still runs fast move to kubuntu:)
[01:23] <Dragen> keegan, are you using nvidia?
[01:23] <soundray> con-man: excellent, give me a minute to try something...
[01:23] <oem> I tried deleting, opening
[01:23] <BackPacker> oem: so the perms on that file are wrong.
[01:23] <bimberi> toodles: sounds like a plan :)
[01:23] <oem> and writing
[01:23] <BackPacker> oem: I notice that /mnt/breezy is owned by root
[01:24] <con-man> soundray: k
[01:24] <oem> yes
[01:24] <toodles> 6.10, codename Edgy Eft (stable release)
[01:24] <toodles> 6.06.1, codename Dapper Drake (stable release), with Long Term Support
[01:24] <BackPacker> oem: we need to find out the perms and ownership of that file
[01:24] <toodles> which 1 do i want?
[01:24] <oem> but the files I am trying to access are the old root user but with the name zachary
[01:24] <oem> I just don't know how to access them as zachary@ubuntu
[01:24] <mcphail> scrupul0us: and the users you added have priveleges on localhost?
[01:25] <BackPacker> oem: I recognise the problem. your user name and id don't match the ones you had in Breezy
[01:25] <scrupul0us> yes and the FQDN
[01:25] <oem> well I do have another id on here as zachary but i have not tried using that one as its not the root
[01:25] <scrupul0us> mcphail: i event went so low as %
[01:25] <BackPacker> oem: doesn't matter. zachary might have been root on Breezy, but on Dapper he's plain old zachary
[01:26] <oem> should i try logging in as zachary on this distro and then access the old breezy
[01:26] <oem> ah
[01:26] <Hoag> Hey. Is it possible to choose the title of a window when opening it? I'm using gnome.
[01:26] <bimberi> toodles: Edgy - if you want your software more up-to-date.  Dapper - if stability/dependability is vital to you (although Edgy is quite stable to be fair).
[01:26] <FirstStrike> toodles: dapper has LTS (long term support) and is more stable than edgy. edgy is 'bleeding edge' and has a lot of the newest software, thus is prone to more problems.
[01:26] <BackPacker> oem: yes. That should do it
[01:26] <killermach_> where do I configure xorg? I think there may be a graphics driver problem with the default install on my laptop
[01:26] <Dragen> killermach_: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:26] <toodles> hrmm
[01:26] <mcphail> scrupul0us: and you flushed the priveleges?
[01:26] <BackPacker> oem: a more permanent solution should also be possible
[01:26] <scrupul0us> mcphail: yessir
[01:26] <keegan_> Dragen: Section "Screen"
[01:26] <keegan_> 	Identifier	"Default Screen"
[01:26] <keegan_> 	Device		"NVIDIA Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] "
[01:26] <keegan_> 	Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
[01:26] <keegan_> like that?
[01:26] <Dragen> yep
[01:27] <keegan_> Still didn't work :(
[01:27] <scrupul0us> mcphail: i even reloaded mysql
[01:27] <keegan_> Do I need to reset my xserver for it to take effect?
[01:27] <Dragen> yea beryl can be finicky...
[01:27] <IdleOne> why do I still have the kubuntu login box if I removed kubuntu-desktop?
[01:27] <toodles> so which do u guys recommend dapper or edgy?
[01:27] <Dragen> you can try doing ALT-CTRL-BACKSPACE
[01:27] <IdleOne> dapper
[01:27] <keegan_> alright I'll be right back then
[01:27] <scrupul0us> mcphail: /etc/init.d/mysql restart
[01:27] <FirstStrike> toodles: dapper
[01:27] <soundray> con-man: when you're logged in as the new user, try this: 'su - conman', followed by 'rm ./.gconf/desktop/gnome/screen/default/0/*' (assuming your old username is conman).
[01:27] <FirstStrike> but it comes down to personal preference
[01:27] <oem> Backpacker you are me own personal hereo
[01:27] <killermach_> Dragen: is there a GUI within ubuntu? I was hoping for a drop selection list of video card drivers
[01:27] <oem> or hero
[01:28] <mcphail> scrupul0us: what error do you get if you try to log in via command line client?
[01:28] <FirstStrike> killermach_: No
[01:28] <BackPacker> oem: it worked then?
[01:28] <Dragen> yea, there is a utility you can get that does that...
[01:28] <FirstStrike> xorg.conf is the best way
[01:28] <Dragen> but make sure in xorg.conf that your device is set to 'nvida'
[01:28] <oem> one last thing I guess then, how do I give root priveldges to the zachary id
[01:28] <oem> yep
[01:28] <soundray> con-man: if that doesn't work, you'll have to log in at the console (Ctrl-Alt-F1), then run the rm command, then switch back to X with Alt-F7, then log in normally
[01:28] <Dragen> woops, 'nvidia'
[01:28] <toodles> theres no way i can install it from windows xp is there? i have to burn it and reboot to install right? i cant use a virtual drive and mount for an install?
[01:28] <Dragen> and NOT 'nv'
[01:28] <oem> like a charm
[01:29] <BackPacker> oem: you can add zachary to the admin group. Check out "Users and Groups" in the System menu
[01:29] <IdleOne> toodles,  cd's a cheap enough
[01:29] <killermach_> Dragen: my default installation on my laptop with ATI Radeon mobile, some X buttons get verticle pixel lines on them, when I mouse over them, they clear up and remain clear on mouse out
[01:29] <bimberi> toodles: as an example of the difference, Edgy has Firefox 2.0.  Dapper has 1.5.
[01:29] <BackPacker> oem: but that doesn't give zachary full root privileges
[01:29] <scrupul0us> mcphail: may i message you
[01:29] <toodles> bumberi aww ok
[01:29] <Hoag> Anyone?
[01:29] <toodles> well im gonna try edgy
[01:29] <oem> but I can at least add and remove programs right?
[01:29] <Dragen> killermach_: hmm that's odd.. have ou tried reloading your theme?
[01:29] <BackPacker> oem: yes
[01:29] <mcphail> scrupul0us: if you keep it in channel then anyone can help or learn. I'm no mysql guru :)
[01:29] <Dragen> keegan_: how did that work out?  still no titlebars?
[01:29] <FirstStrike> toodles: why would you want to install it from within xp? the install cd is a livecd by default and will bring you into ubuntu. you can play with it without even installing it. then, when you're ready to install there's an "Install" icon on the desktop that will walk you through the install process. It's quite easy.
[01:30] <toodles> i hope getting my wireless card working on this wont be hard:) lol
[01:30] <oem> ok good that solves the last of my troubles
[01:30] <keegan_> Dragen: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35344/
[01:30] <keegan_> Thats the error I get
[01:30] <scrupul0us> mcphail: mysql -u blog -p
[01:30] <BackPacker> oem: you can do that anyway with "sudo apt-get install packagename" at the command line if you want to go all geeky
[01:30] <scrupul0us> mcphail: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'blog'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
[01:30] <toodles> firststrike i can use the linux straight off the cd without installing it 1st to see if i like it?
[01:30] <FirstStrike> toodles: yes
[01:30] <vertz> how do i change from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1?
[01:30] <oem> ha well I willwrite that down as I do like to get my geek on
[01:30] <IdleOne> toodles,  yup :)
[01:30] <toodles> oh then ill just get all 3 versions mount it virtually
[01:30] <toodles> and see which i like the best that way
[01:31] <Dragen> keegan_: eek.. did you install the nvidia linux drivers?
[01:31] <BackPacker> oem: and that's not the last of your troubles, I bet... :-)
[01:31] <FirstStrike> toodles: it will run a little slower though because it's running off the cd
[01:31] <toodles> then burn the cd
[01:31] <toodles> yeah
[01:31] <FirstStrike> but other than that, it will be the same
[01:31] <toodles> but i can get the idea
[01:31] <oem> well for now it is
[01:31] <scrupul0us> mcphail: here is copy/paste from phpmyadmin... "blog  	localhost  	Yes  	 ALL PRIVILEGES  "
[01:31] <con-man> soundray: didnt work
[01:31] <BackPacker> oem: good
[01:31] <keegan_> I believe I did, I installed them from the repository...I had to install a new kernel and all that stuff
[01:31] <soundray> con-man: what did it say?
[01:31] <oem> thank you again and hope i can help pyou out someday
[01:31] <Fastly> i'm trying to share files using samba and the "System->Administration->Shared Folders" dialog..
[01:31] <scrupul0us> mcphail: thats the privledges tab
[01:31] <con-man> soundray: i removed the directory
[01:31] <BackPacker> oem: you're welcome. Glad to be of help
[01:32] <Dragen> i could never get it to work from the repository.. i downloaded my nvidia drivers manually...
[01:32] <oem> well I'm off to reacquint myself with old data
[01:32] <con-man> soundray: it went fine. but when i logged back in, same issue. display settings are overriding whats in xorg.conf
[01:32] <Dragen> got them installed..
[01:32] <soundray> con-man: did you log out as your old user before you did this?
[01:32] <bimberi> toodles: they're LiveCD's you have to boot from them to evaluate.  I'm not sure you can do that from an ISO image on a HDD
[01:32] <con-man> soundray: yes
[01:32] <Fastly> but on windows it asks for a password for "ARNIE\alex"... i type in my password (alex on machine called arnie) and it doesn't work
[01:32] <IdleOne> why do I still have the kubuntu login box if I removed kubuntu-desktop?
[01:32] <BackPacker> oem: see you around
[01:32] <keegan_> Alright I'll do that then try it again
[01:32] <Dragen> keegan...
[01:32] <Dragen> when you try to load beryl, can you hold down ALT , click the window and wiggle the window around?
[01:32] <genbie> hi, anyone knows how can i find out if i have usb 1.0 or usb 2.0 from /proc/bus/usb please?
[01:32] <soundray> IdleOne: kubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage. It doesn't actually remove anything.
[01:32] <asgilder> Can someone help me? I mounted my windows partition, and got that working. I can access it now. But there are no files there. There are just empty folders.
[01:32] <nobotz> is it normal to have no /etc/postgresql/8.1/main missing in dapper
[01:33] <keegan_> none of the windows move
[01:33] <Fastly> any ideas please?
[01:33] <bimberi> toodles: that said, this looks promising - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows
[01:33] <killermach_> Dragen: no.. still d/l'ing updates.. I'll try changing theme when done
[01:33] <soundray> con-man: okay, two suggestions.
[01:33] <IdleOne> soundray, what package do I remove to get the kubuntu login off and use ubuntu default one
[01:33] <soundray> con-man: actually, let's start with just one.
[01:33] <con-man> soundray: there has to be a way to remove the personal display settings for the account con-man
[01:33] <toodles> thx bumberi im reading it now
[01:33] <IdleOne> soundray,  or do I need to switch from kde back to gdm?
[01:33] <Dragen> keegan_: ok...
[01:33] <Flannel> IdleOne: that's KDM vs GDM, not kubuntu vs ubuntu, yeah.
[01:33] <soundray> con-man: remove the entire directory '/home/con-man/.gconf/desktop/gnome/screen/'
[01:34] <Dragen> keegan_: when installing those nvidia linux drivers, you can get an API mismatch, and X wont start...
[01:34] <scrupul0us> mcphail: do mysql users have to be system users as well?
[01:34] <con-man> soundray: will try that
[01:34] <BackPacker> On boot, I get this message: "/dev/hda7: The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 3933916 bocks. The physical size of the device is 3933909 blocks. Either the superblock or the partition is likely to be corrupt!" Anhone know how to fix it?
[01:34] <con-man> soundray: brb
[01:34] <IdleOne> Flannel,  refresh my memory on how I do that please
[01:34] <soundray> IdleOne: yes, the latter
[01:34] <scrupul0us> mcphail: caus this si crazy
[01:34] <jughead> how might I go about compiling a program from source?
[01:34] <soundray> !compile | jughead
[01:34] <ubotu> jughead: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[01:34] <Dragen> keegan_: are you running Ubuntu ?
[01:34] <keegan_> Yes I am 6.10
[01:34] <mcphail> scrupul0us: no - mysql users have nothing to do with system users
[01:35] <Flannel> IdleOne: dpkg-reconfigure gdm should do it
[01:35] <RememberPOL> Does anyone know a repository that keeps the latest beta nvidia binary drivers (1.0-9742, not just 1.0-9629) ?
[01:35] <scrupul0us> mcphail: thats what i thought.. but i cant for the life of me think why it doesnt work
[01:35] <soundray> jughead: what package do you need?
[01:35] <con-man> soundray: didnt work
[01:35] <Dragen> ok somewhere in System, utilties, i can't remember (i'm in Kubuntu)  nvidia usually installs a utility called "NVIDIA X Server Settings"... do you see that?
[01:35] <IdleOne> Flannel, Thank you
[01:35] <soundray> con-man: so you logged out fully, then removed the directory? With rm -rf ?
[01:36] <IdleOne> soundray,  TY ALSO
[01:36] <mcphail> scrupul0us: and logging in as "-u root" works?
[01:36] <con-man> soundray: yeah
[01:36] <scrupul0us> yes
[01:36] <scrupul0us> root works just fine
[01:36] <con-man> soundray: rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty ./.gconf/desktop/gnome/screen/
[01:36] <keegan_> No I don't see it anywhere in the start menu
[01:36] <scrupul0us> thats how i was adding new privledge users
[01:36] <vcef> where can I get ubuntu kernel patches?
[01:36] <RememberPOL> Dragen: Are you talking to me?
[01:36] <Dragen> keegan_: you don't see the NVINDIA splash just before X starts?
[01:36] <brett_> could anyone help me with beryl?
[01:36] <RememberPOL> keegan_: I believe the command is nvidia-settings
[01:36] <RememberPOL> brett_: What's up?
[01:36] <con-man> brett_: #beryl
[01:36] <mcphail> scrupul0us: i'll need to scratch my head about this one for a moment...
[01:36] <tonyyarusso> brett_: In #ubuntu-xgl or #beryl perhaps
[01:36] <Dragen> NVIDIA* llol
[01:37] <brett_> i've tried beryl, they aren't responding
[01:37] <soundray> con-man: any output from that command?
[01:37] <brett_> #beryl that is
[01:37] <BackPacker> Can anyone help with my partition size problem?
[01:37] <RememberPOL> brett_: What's the problem?
[01:37] <keegan_> nvidia settings loads up when I type in the command
[01:37] <con-man> soundray: none, just drops to the next line
[01:37] <keegan_> and no I haven't restarted since I installed the nvidia drivers
[01:37] <brett_> anyway, i had beryl running fine without updating "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"
[01:37] <scrupul0us> mcphail: im righnt there with you
[01:38] <jellegant> hey, room.
[01:38] <brett_> and when i ran that, i set up my file for nvidia
[01:38] <Flannel> !kernel | vcef
[01:38] <ubotu> vcef: kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[01:38] <keegan_> I got a couple of errors though when I loaded the nvidia-settings command though
[01:38] <killermach_> oh.. I have a dual boot, how do I get ubuntu to stop tampering with the system clock, I don't use UTC but don't find this option in the administration of time
[01:38] <brett_> i got my resolution to work, but now whenever i try to run beryl, the borders dissapear
[01:38] <RememberPOL> brett_: I believe that just alters your xorg.conf file, so it probably took out some card/aiglx settings you need.
[01:38] <soundray> con-man: perhaps you can copy the .gconf/desktop/gnome/screen directory over from the new user, if one exists
[01:38] <Dragen> ok there are a few tutorials on this, i'm kind of lost what steps you took
[01:38] <vcef> thanks
[01:38] <Dragen> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263851
[01:38] <Dragen> That is the thread for installing NVIDIA/AIGLX/BERYL
[01:38] <brett_> any idea how to replenish my card/aiglx settings?
[01:38] <Dragen> make sure you haven't missed anything
[01:38] <RememberPOL> brett_: Does the splashscreen show up?
[01:38] <keegan_> Alright I'll read it
[01:39] <tonyyarusso> killermach_: You set UTC="no" somewhere - give me a moment and I'll try to find the file
[01:39] <brett_> yes. nvidia flickers for a second, then shows my login screen
[01:39] <RememberPOL> brett_: I mean the Beryl splashscreen..
[01:39] <brett_> it shows up if i run beryl
[01:39] <con-man> good idea
[01:39] <brett_> but the borders dissapear
[01:39] <Dragen> brett_: run  'beryl-manager'
[01:39] <brett_> i can still alt+drag and have the windows move like jelly
[01:39] <toodles> the directions for installing ubuntu from windows seem a bit confusing lol
[01:40] <killermach_> tonyyarusso: thanks.. I did this once on another machine weeks ago, but this is my second unbuntu/xp install
[01:40] <jellegant> I have eft on my comp, but somehow lost my wireless.  I am currently running on my dapper live cd.  Does anyone know of any way to apt-get to the hd?
[01:40] <soundray> con-man: you'll have to go via sudo, i.e. 'sudo cp -a /home/newuser/.gconf/desktop/gnome/screen /tmp ; chown con-man.con-man /tmp/screen ; cp -a /tmp/screen /home/con-man/.gconf/desktop/gnome/
[01:40] <mcphail> scrupul0us: before we go any further (and sorry to ask this...), you're sure you have the passwords correct (including case etc)?
[01:40] <soundray> '
[01:40] <brett_> dragen ive tried that
[01:40] <brett_> i have it run beryl-manager on boot
[01:40] <Dragen> ok have you added that option in your xorg.conf file?
[01:40] <RememberPOL> brett_: What's this return glxinfo | grep rendering
[01:40] <scrupul0us> mcphail: yes i just reset them on the one users ive been trying to add... twice... no go
[01:40] <scrupul0us> mcphail: simple test/test
[01:40] <brett_> Direct rendering: Yes
[01:41] <Dragen> ok that's good
[01:41] <brett_> brb
[01:41] <brett_> can you PM me?
[01:41] <soundray> con-man: forgot ' -R' after chmod

[01:41] <user123> Question can i install google earth on ubuntu ppc?
[01:41] <jughead> I'm trying to follow the directions for compiling the source, I keep getting ./configure:  no such file or directory
[01:41] <Dragen> brett_: , add this to your Screen and Device sections in /etc/X11/xorg.conf :   Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
[01:42] <Flannel> jughead: are you in the folder with the source?
[01:42] <dsnyders> I want to install Ubuntu onto LVM partitions, but that option doesn't seem to exist in the installer.  How do I install to LVM?
[01:42] <soundray> con-man: and sudo ('sudo chmod -R /tmp/screen')
[01:42] <jughead> Flannel, yeah

[01:42] <LordMetroid> oka, I mistakenly added a word to the dictionary which seem to follow me in ubuntu... Anyone know how to delete it?
[01:42] <scrupul0us> mcphail: well i just got in after i flushed

[01:42] <scrupul0us> mcphail: any good with squirrelmail? thats next on my hotlist :)
[01:42] <soundray> LordMetroid: which dictionary?
[01:42] <dsnyders> Flannel, Alternate CD?
[01:43] <Flannel> dsnyders: yeah, the alternate CD.  When you download the ISO, you have the choice between Desktop, and Alternate.  Alternate CD has LVM support
[01:43] <LordMetroid> It is contantly present in firefox at least...
[01:43] <LordMetroid> Maybe it's firefox's dictionary
[01:44] <soundray> LordMetroid: can you specify what you mean by 'it is present'?
[01:44] <LordMetroid> Well when I write messages in textbox I can use it for spelling

[01:46] <Spisters> how would I go about updating them in ubuntu?
[01:46] <mcphail> scrupul0us: i think you need to delete the old indexes
[01:47] <soundray> Spisters: which drivers?
[01:47] <scrupul0us> mcphail: old... its a fresh install... shouldnt be any old about it... never-thepless whats involved there
[01:47] <mcphail> scrupul0us: you are using it toi access mail on your own server?
[01:47] <Spisters> video card drivers
[01:47] <scrupul0us> mcphail: yes
[01:47] <francis_> how to share office file in a windows network using ubuntu?
[01:47] <Spisters> I tried going into device manager but that didn't really help
[01:47] <mcphail> scrupul0us: do you have any important mail stored yet? If so back it up first...

[01:48] <scrupul0us> mcphail: ive got nothing on there
[01:48] <mcphail> scrupul0us: i'm remembering this from a looong time ago...
[01:48] <BackPacker> francis_: you can use Samba to share Windows files
[01:48] <scrupul0us> mcphail: im configured like this: http://howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_6.10_p5
[01:48] <mcphail> scrupul0us: in your Mail folder, try "rm -rf .imap/"
[01:48] <Flannel> scrupul0us: that's a really bad howto, by the way.
[01:48] <scrupul0us> mcphail: for post fix and courier
[01:48] <scrupul0us> o?
[01:48] <francis_> samba? how can i install it
[01:49] <soundray> BackPacker: no, Samba is for sharing files on Unix with a Windows network.
[01:49] <Flannel> francis_: read the URLs ubotu gave you in his factoid
[01:49] <scrupul0us> mcphail: why is that
[01:49] <BackPacker> soundray: that's what I meant. Didn't I?  :-)
[01:49] <francis_> im having problem installing files... i downloaded frostwire and YM for unix but i got an error
[01:50] <toodles> bumberi that guide seems to be fine until the end of it where it says reboot and it will boot of the cd doesnt say how it would work if u copy the iso to the hdd
[01:50] <mcphail> scrupul0us: it will delete the indexes which may be causing the connection to drop. Ihad this problem once and that fixed it
[01:50] <soundray> francis_: try 'cd /bin ; sudo ln -sf bash sh ; cd -' to fix those
[01:50] <mcphail> scrupul0us: but i'm afraid it is a "worksforme"
[01:50] <mattlowe> Can anyone tell me where i can find the sensor files for my cpu, hdd, etc temps? fan speeds and what not?
[01:50] <jughead> ok I made it part of the way through the configure process... it says I'm missing SDL
[01:50] <mcphail> scrupul0us: back the directory up first, if you're worried
[01:51] <francis_> thnks soundray
[01:51] <scrupul0us> ::scratches head:: i just did a localte .imap
[01:51] <scrupul0us> and found nothing
[01:51] <soundray> mattlowe: if your ACPI accesses them, and it is supported, you can look in /proc/acpi/
[01:51] <scrupul0us> mcphail: i mean locate
[01:51] <soundray> mattlowe: failing that, you can try the mbmon program
[01:51] <soundray> !info mbmon | mattlowe
[01:51] <ubotu> mbmon: Hardware monitoring without kernel dependencies (text client). In component universe, is optional. Version 2.05-4 (edgy), package size 65 kB, installed size 196 kB (Only available for i386 hurd-i386 amd64 kfreebsd-i386 knetbsd-i386)
[01:51] <francis_> soundray: where to execute the commands...dont know how to go to the command line? :)
[01:51] <RememberPOL> brett?
[01:52] <soundray> mattlowe: if you still haven't got what you want, and you're reasonably hardcore, you have to try lm-sensors.
[01:52] <mcphail> scrupul0us: i'm using dovecot as the server. Maybe that is the difference?
[01:52] <mattlowe> where do i get the lm-sensors?
[01:52] <soundray> !lm-sensors | mattlowe
[01:52] <ubotu> lm-sensors: utilities to read temperature/voltage/fan sensors. In component main, is extra. Version 1:2.10.0-7ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 479 kB, installed size 1472 kB
[01:52] <scrupul0us> mcphail: idk i tried that b4 as well...apt-get install dovecot.. still didnt work after i updated the squirrlmail-configure
[01:52] <dsnyders> Flannel, Is there a way of just downloading the LVM installer rather than the whole alternate CD?
[01:52] <CharlieSu> my ubuntu just quit being able to resolve any servernames..  if i have not updated anything what can i do so that it will reload resolv.conf?
[01:53] <rosen37> Please I manage a network and I installed a NIS server and I have 10 workstation on ubuntu connected on this NIS. On 1 machine , when a user log trhough the NIS , it works but when his comp lock (screensaver) he can t unlock it ( password incorrect ) . No idea what can be the prob?
[01:53] <soundray> francis_: open a terminal with Alt-F2 gnome-terminal
[01:53] <BackPacker> CharlieSu: you could restart networking
[01:53] <CharlieSu> BackPacker: i'm connected remotely, how can i do that so that it will startup without me there?
[01:53] <mattlowe> why are the lm-sensors "hardcore?"
[01:53] <CharlieSu> BackPacker: i'm SSHed in.. i need to make sure that it will be back up
[01:53] <mcphail> scrupul0us: what does "ls -a ~/Mail" reveal?
[01:54] <con-man> soundray: thanks it worked
[01:54] <soundray> con-man: the directory copy did?
[01:54] <mattlowe> i just did a apt-get install lm-sensors
[01:54] <francis_> soundray: it shows me the run application applet ..what to do next ?
[01:54] <scrupul0us> mcphail: ls: /root/Mail: No such file or directory
[01:54] <soundray> francis_: enter gnome-terminal
[01:55] <Spisters> why are the drivers on the linux-restricted-modules list, should I just be happy with what I have?
[01:55] <corevette> does anyone know how to install html tidy?
[01:55] <BackPacker> CharlieSu: the command "/etc/init.d/networking restart" would restart it, but I don't recommend it if you're not on the premises
[01:55] <mattlowe> soundtry - i did apt-get install mbmon along with lm-sensors
[01:55] <soundray> mattlowe: lm-sensors is the last choice. Please try the other options first.
[01:55] <soundray> mattlowe: you don't need lm-sensors for mbmon
[01:55] <BackPacker> CharlieSu: and the only way I know of to make sure it's back up is to be on the premises
[01:55] <mattlowe> how would i uninstall the lm-sensors then
[01:55] <CharlieSu> BackPacker: yeah..  true..  damnit.. why won't anything resolve ?
[01:55] <mcphail> scrupul0us: do you have any mail directory in your user's home dir (not root)
[01:55] <soundray> mattlowe: leave it there for now, it won't interfere as you try out mbmon
[01:56] <francis_> soundray: ok got it! is the gnome terminal the command prompt..how to log in as root?
[01:56] <CharlieSu> BackPacker: i can't even ping yahoo.com
[01:56] <CharlieSu> BackPacker: what is a good place to look for errors?
[01:56] <Kervan> i cant find /etc/init.d/hpijs but i have installed hpijs where is my hpijs?
[01:56] <BackPacker> CharlieSu: can you ping localhost at least?
[01:56] <catalinux> where can I find ptrace cmd tool for ubuntu server?
[01:56] <CharlieSu> BackPacker: yes
[01:56] <soundray> francis_: you don't need root. Just enter the commands. Wait, I'll repost...

[01:56] <mattlowe> i ran mbmon and it said No Hardware Monitor Found!! InitMBInfo: Success
[01:56] <BackPacker> CharlieSu: by name as well as by IP:?
[01:56] <soundray> francis_: try 'cd /bin ; sudo ln -sf bash sh ; cd -' to fix those
[01:56] <scrupul0us> mcphail: i have one other users (my non-root account) and no.. theres no mail folder under its home dir
[01:56] <CharlieSu> BackPacker: yes..
[01:56] <francis_> Soundray: ok thnks
[01:56] <soundray> mattlowe: try 'sudo mbmon'
[01:57] <mattlowe> i did
[01:57] <mattlowe> thats what it gave me
[01:57] <BackPacker> CharlieSu: and does your /etc/host.conf start with "order hosts, bind"
[01:57] <CharlieSu> yes
[01:57] <b0ss_> my names charlie to
[01:57] <b0ss_> how cool.
[01:57] <soundray> mattlowe: what do you get from 'ls /proc/acpi/fan'?
[01:57] <CharlieSu> b0ss_: lol
[01:57] <vcef> how do I run batch scheduled process?
[01:57] <b0ss_> cool
[01:58] <BackPacker> CharlieSu: can you ping other IPs on the network?
[01:58] <mcphail> scrupul0us: what error message do you get in /var/log/mail.err or /var/log/mail.log?
[01:58] <mattlowe> It doesnt return anything :(
[01:58] <soundray> vcef: what do you mean?
[01:58] <CharlieSu> BackPacker: yes.. even IPs not on my network
[01:58] <BackPacker> CharlieSu: then if you can ping outside the network, what's not resolving?
[01:58] <soundray> mattlowe: how about 'ls /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/'?
[01:59] <AdamKili> i have a laptop that has a sticker on it: AMD Turion^64 Mobile Technology. Should I use 64-bit PC (AMD64) Ubuntu desktop CD? What happens if I use the x64 version? Haven
[01:59] <BackPacker> CharlieSu: Oh, I see, you can ping by IP but not by name?
[01:59] <CharlieSu> BackPacker: yes
[01:59] <vcef> soundray: batch scheduling. I'm used to it from ck kernels and I've heard that it (or at least smth similar) went into mainline
[01:59] <CharlieSu> BackPacker: exactly
[01:59] <mattlowe> nothing either
[01:59] <vcef> I've installed schedtools but it doesn't seem to support it
[01:59] <faz99> Hi
[01:59] <BackPacker> CharlieSu: Can you ping other hosts on the network by name?
[01:59] <scrupul0us> mcphail: Dec  4 02:42:21 web postfix/smtpd[10496] : lost connection after CONNECT from localhost.localdomain[<IP_ADDRESS>]
[01:59] <scrupul0us> Dec  4 02:42:21 web postfix/smtpd[10496] : disconnect from localhost.localdomain[<IP_ADDRESS>]
[01:59] <soundray> AdamKili: install i386, unless you plan to do very heavy computation, such as video recoding
[01:59] <scrupul0us> thats a little snippet
[01:59] <CharlieSu> BackPacker: there are no other hosts to try at the moment
[01:59] <soundray> vcef: something like Condor does?
[01:59] <faz99> Can anyone help me with ubuntu?
[02:00] <vcef> what's Condor?
[02:00] <AdamKili> soundray: haven't people had problems with AMD hardware on linux?
[02:00] <francis_> what is samba and where can i get? need help how to install this one..
[02:00] <soundray> vcef: a batch/parallel execution scheduling system ;)
[02:00] <BackPacker> CharlieSu: And presumably you're trying to resolve Internet-based hosts, not just on another LAN?
[02:00] <vcef> never heard of it
[02:00] <CharlieSu> BackPacker: yes..  like yahoo.com
[02:00] <BackPacker> CharlieSu: Is there the remotest possibility that your ISP's nameservers are down?
[02:00] <soundray> AdamKili: I use AMD hardware almost exclusively and have had plenty of problems, but never with the AMD hardware itself ;)
[02:01] <mattlowe> soundtry : that returned no results either
[02:01] <marco81> ciao  a tutit
[02:01] <vcef> I'm talking about special policy of kernel's process scheduler
[02:01] <soundray> mattlowe: okay, time to read the instructions in /usr/share/doc/lm-sensors/
[02:01] <fernando> hi all, somebody have kyocera kpc650 working on edgy?
[02:01] <CharlieSu> BackPacker: lol..  well i would hope not..  i'll SSH into another box and try.. hope i remember the IP
[02:01] <vcef> we have real time scheduling and we also have (ar at least should have) batch scheduling
[02:01] <con-man> soundray: no. turns out i never deleted the Screen directory to begin with
[02:01] <scrupul0us> mcphail: just now i tried again and got this:  Dec  4 20:01:13 web imapd: chdir Maildir: No such file or directory
[02:01] <mattlowe> read the readme?
[02:01] <francis_> can anyone help me about samba and how to install it? wher to find it guyz
[02:01] <BackPacker> CharlieSu: I presume you've checked /etc/resolv.conf and that it looks OK?
[02:01] <soundray> con-man: ah
[02:01] <faz99> Can someone help me with ubuntu regarding j2sdk... Thanks!
[02:02] <mcphail> scrupul0us: that's more like it...

[02:02] <faz99> Thanks
[02:02] <BackPacker> CharlieSu: ppp usually rewrites /etc/resolv.conf. Could that be it?

[02:02] <soundray> vcef: you will have understood by now that I'm not the expert you're looking for...

[02:03] <mcphail> scrupul0us: try making a Maildir directory in /root/ and under your user's home dir
[02:04] <BackPacker> CharlieSu: I'm not sure that would work even if <IP_ADDRESS> is your gateway device
[02:04] <CharlieSu> BackPacker: it has always been that and always worked..  my DSL doesn't require Username or pass
[02:04] <CharlieSu> BackPacker: why not?
[02:04] <francis_> ubotu is there a need to run a installer to install softwares in ubuntu... i tried to download frostwire and YM fo runix  but i got an error running it
[02:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about is there a need to run a installer to install softwares in ubuntu... i tried to download frostwire and YM fo runix  but i got an error running it - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[02:04] <BackPacker> CharlieSu: good question. I've never done it that way. I've always put my ISP's nameservers in resolv.conf on each machine
[02:05] <scrupul0us> mcphail: creating Maildir got me in... now i have an error in EVERY pane
[02:05] <soundray> BackPacker: that resolv.conf is fine if the router acts as a DNS-forwarder.
[02:05] <mcphail> scrupul0us: lol
[02:05] <Vodan> Is there a skype client that works for x64 linux?
[02:05] <soundray> Vodan: yes
[02:05] <soundray> Vodan: let me dig up a link for you...
[02:05] <mcphail> scrupul0us: what are the errors in the logs (pastebin them if more than one line)
[02:05] <BackPacker> soundray: assuming it does...
[02:06] <scrupul0us> mcphail: please hold while i create a laughable log file ;)
[02:06] <CharlieSu> BackPacker: i'd love to try but for some reason i can't even get to the web configuration of my DSL modem via links2 -g over SSH with X11 forwareded
[02:06] <scrupul0us> mcphail: actually there are NO errors in mail.log
[02:06] <BackPacker> CharlieSu: I'm not familar with links2. Is it an X-based version of links?
[02:07] <mcphail> scrupul0us: and mail.err?
[02:07] <tonyyarusso> BackPacker: It can be.  It has graphical and console modes.
[02:07] <scrupul0us> blnak
[02:07] <scrupul0us> *blank
[02:07] <CharlieSu> BackPacker: yes.. when using -g mode
[02:07] <BackPacker> CharlieSu: have you tried it in console mode?
[02:07] <CharlieSu> BackPacker: i can't even do it in the non X version
[02:07] <mcphail> scrupul0us: so what error is squirrelmail giving now?
[02:07] <CharlieSu> BackPacker: yeah..
[02:07] <soundray> Vodan: sorry, I can't find it. The crucial thing is, you need the 32bit libraries installed. Some good info is in http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435
[02:07] <CharlieSu> BackPacker: i think it might be totally screwed up or something
[02:07] <BackPacker> CharlieSu: and the router won't let you in?
[02:07] <killermach_> hmm.. in firefox, on Ubuntu 6.06, I enter the URL "about:config" and I get an XML parsing error reponse? what may be wrong? this is a fresh install from DVD

[02:09] <b0ss_> charlie su
[02:09] <CharlieSu> BackPacker: atleast i was looking in the right places..
[02:09] <gerasn> is it like waiting for more input
[02:09] <b0ss_> is your last name su
[02:09] <soundray> CharlieSu: before you bin it, check out whether it behaves better with OpenWrt installed
[02:09] <CharlieSu> BackPacker: one more quick question for you..
[02:10] <mcphail> scrupul0us: try logging into your non-root users account
[02:10] <BackPacker> CharlieSu: ?
[02:10] <scrupul0us> i did
[02:10] <scrupul0us> i ahvent tried root yet
[02:10] <iStirk> For some reason, when I try to install Ubuntu I get an "Unable to start in graphics mode" error. Any ideas what could be causing this? I have an nVidia Geforce 6800 graphics card.
[02:10] <gerasn> someon in bash land must know what im talking about?
[02:10] <Sionide> grr.. firefox is doing my head in, it's stopped remembering my sessions and i can't figure out why. if i go to reinstall it, is it gonna majorly screw everything up cos apt-get is asking to remove a bunch of other stuff along with it... :s
[02:10] <CharlieSu> BackPacker: does this look correct or is the first one not needed           <IP_ADDRESS>       charlie.phunki.charlie.phunki.com charlie.phunki.com
[02:10] <mcphail> scrupul0us: "ls -a /home/youruser/Maildir/"?
[02:10] <CharlieSu> BackPacker: in /etc/hosts that is..
[02:10] <scrupul0us> mcphail: but the errors are the same
[02:10] <scrupul0us> mcphail: is exists but its empty
[02:11] <soundray> gerasn: what context are you taking this line from?
[02:11] <gerasn> ok um
[02:11] <BackPacker> CharlieSu: Looks wrong to me. Unless your hostname is the first one
[02:11] <mcphail> scrupul0us: you installed squirrelmail and your mail server through apt-get?
[02:11] <scrupul0us> yes
[02:11] <gerasn> soundray: Backup an NTFS volume to a remote host, using ssh. Please note, that ssh may ask for a password!
[02:11] <gerasn> ntfsclone --save-image --output - /dev/hda1 | \\
[02:11] <gerasn> gzip -c | ssh host ?cat > backup.img.gz?
[02:11] <BackPacker> CharlieSu: I'd expect it to look like this: charlie.phunki.com charlie
[02:11] <scrupul0us> mcphail: apt-get install postfix libsasl2 sasl2-bin libsasl2-modules libdb3-util procmail
[02:12] <CharlieSu> BackPacker: yeah.. that is what i thought..  ubuntu did that when it installed
[02:12] <mcphail> scrupul0us: and squirrelmail?
[02:12] <scrupul0us> mcphail: apt-get install courier-authdaemon courier-base courier-imap courier-imap-ssl courier-pop courier-pop-ssl courier-ssl gamin libgamin0 libglib2.0-0
[02:12] <gerasn> soundray: i am not at a shell right now to try it
[02:12] <scrupul0us> mcphail: apt-get squirrelmail
[02:12] <CharlieSu> BackPacker: then hostname would look like what?
[02:12] <soundray> gerasn: I think the backslash got doubled by accident. What it means is that you should enter both parts in one line with no backslashes at all.
[02:13] <marco81> ciao
[02:13] <francis_> pls help about installing softwares...all i know is to double click the file just like in windows..ha ha
[02:13] <gerasn> ok like
[02:13] <mcphail> scrupul0us: what are the permissions on /home/user/Maildir?
[02:13] <BackPacker> CharlieSu: Can't remember how it asks you for your hostname. Maybe you told it that charlie.phunki.com is the host name and charlie.phunki.com is the domain. That could get that result

[02:38] <ezenu> For writing documents in VIM, does anyone know how to make it so that when I use the arrow keys up/down, it doesn't skip many wrapped lines?

[02:39] <eegore> the updater is trying to update a linux image I am not using and when I try to click on it to deselct it, xserver restarts
[02:40] <ezenu> jrib, gj and gk are editor commands?
[02:40] <ezenu> jrib, like :gj  ?
[02:40] <jrib> ezenu: normal mode commands, give them a try
[02:40] <jrib> or "command mode"
[02:40] <jimcooncat> anyone have experience with netgear's wired switches and cards? Just want an opinion.
[02:40] <klp> anyone have problems with openoffice the word processor? had 11page doc written copied like 20 words from it pasted to gaim and it crashed tried it again and again same thing bug?

[02:42] <mcphail> scrupul0us: maybe that is a good idea. http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/200 http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/275 are a good start

[02:43] <mcphail> scrupul0us: i'm afraid i'm too sleepy to think this one out logically :)
[02:43] <jrib> mordof: the restricted wiki explains how to make it use aoss
[02:44] <soundray> BackPacker: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm'

[02:45] <kitche> is #ubuntu+1 even open yet?
[02:45] <jrib> Wonderl00t: you probably want to do 'bash file.sh' in a terminal (in the right directory)
[02:45] <BackPacker> soundray: Thanks
[02:45] <IdleOne> Cyde, it's the dev help channel I beleive
[02:45] <Cyde> IdleOne: This'll be fun :-D
[02:45] <mcphail> scrupul0us: not really. I tend to leave irssi running all of the time, so if you use my nick i should find you eventually
[02:45] <Cyde> IdleOne: I suspect I don't have a dev-worthy question though ..
[02:45] <Wonderl00t> jrib: i'll try that, thanks
[02:45] <BackPacker> soundray: Had to do "dpkg --configure kdm" as well, but hopefully all will be well
[02:46] <scrupul0us> ok
[02:46] <jrib> Cyde: it's the channel for help with the development release feisty fawn

[02:46] <kitche> IdleOne: #ubuntu+1 that's for ubuntu dev releases or the next version of ubuntu that's not out yet
[02:46] <jrib> mordof: did you try what the restricted wiki suggested about using aoss?
[02:47] <mordof> jrib: for some reason ubuntu picked up 2 sound devices, only 1 works with my plugs
[02:47] <IdleOne> Cyde,  or keep hanging out here and ask ever so often and maybe someone will be able to help you
[02:47] <jrib> mordof: hmm so is this system wide?
[02:47] <IdleOne> kitche,  good to know :)
[02:47] <Cyde> IdleOne: I just found a much better doc from Gentoo, it seems like it should work here, I'll try it out.   http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_CVS_Server

[02:47] <mordof> jrib: but most other apps figure it out
[02:47] <IdleOne> Cyde,  give it a shot
[02:47] <jrib> mordof: what apps aren't working?
[02:47] <mordof> jrib: flash :P
[02:47] <jrib> mordof: try aoss just to rule that out
[02:48] <mordof> jrib: alright, i looked through the page and didn't really see what you were tlakin about though.. i'll check again
[02:48] <kitche> Cyde: usually if you know how to translate gentoo docs to a certain distro they come in handy I usually look at gentoo docs all the time instead of the distro that I use
[02:48] <dmarkey> anyone here any experience with ubuntu on sparc?
[02:49] <jrib> mordof: yeah, I understand.  That page is pretty disorganized.  Just ctrl-f and search for "aoss".  It will take you to the right section
