[18:03] <Leon> outbackwifi: Kernel Panic before I even get to the loading screen
[18:03] <outbackwifi> Leon: aw
[18:03] <Aquahallic> where does all the launchers under "Applications" actually reside on the disk?
[18:03] <Filthpig> erUSUL, ootb = out of the box. I see Broadcom has released a driver for various b43 chipsets
[18:03] <Leon> outbackwifi: Its brand new, ASUS mobo, Intel CPU nothing fancy really...
[18:04] <Leon> outbackwifi: Should I try another CD Drive
[18:04] <daftpunk> erUSUL so with no password set on root. Can't anybody just log in as root, just hit enter and leave the passwd blank?
[18:04] <erUSUL> Filthpig: ubuntu already ships with b43 and b43 legacy drivers
[18:04] <Pici> daftpunk: The password is locked, not blank.  No one can login as root.
[18:04] <outbackwifi> Leon: you could test media first
[18:04] <erUSUL> daftpunk: no that's why the ! is there there is no string on earth that hash to a !
[18:04] <Leon> outbackwifi: GParted boots fine
[18:04] <Filthpig> erUSUL, kay, I just saw some postings reporting problems. That might be fixed now, though
[18:05] <erUSUL> Filthpig: i do not claim the drivers are buggy free just saying that they are there and should work
[18:05] <daftpunk> ok then I guess I am good then, thank you
[18:05] <ianliu_88> I'm trying to see the Apple's keynote on apple.com, but it is not working... Ubuntu launches Gnome Player but it ain't play anything. Any tips?
[18:05] <daftpunk> !root
[18:06] <ianliu_88> !mov
[18:07] <outbackwifi> Leon: checking media checks the CD not the drive
[18:07] <ianliu_88> Wow, that ubottu message about sudo is like Matrix >.<
[18:07] <gnuskool> ianliu_88: it's in .mov format, i dont know if vlc plays it, check
[18:07] <ianliu_88> gnuskool: I thought of that too, but in pixar website I am able to see mov films
[18:07] <Spectacular> outbackwifi, ok, ready
[18:08] <alexut> i need to get "Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG" working on a HP nc4200, have tried everything from installing from intels site (compiling errors) to using ndiswrapper (card recognized but cant connect to AP), any advice ?
[18:08] <daftpunk> erUSUL what benefits does it have not to have a root account?
[18:08] <Leon> outbackwifi: The CD Boots fine on my mums computer but crashes when telling me it is unable to create the filesystem
[18:08] <outbackwifi> Leon: so theres two instances of it not working properly
[18:09] <gnuskool> ianliu_88: not sure mate :S
[18:09] <Leon> outbackwifi: Good point. will try a different CD THX
[18:09] <erUSUL> daftpunk: everytime you sudo there is a trace left behind. root does not left any trace
[18:09] <outbackwifi> Leon: yw
[18:10] <gnuskool> erUSUL: root wont leave a trace in logs?
[18:10] <compu73rg33k> unop: are you here?
[18:10] <daftpunk> mmm I see
[18:10] <ianliu_88> gnuskool: Nope.. I'm really sad about apple on the very low compatibility with linux
[18:10] <erUSUL> gnuskool: not of the programs he runs from a console
[18:10] <komputes> ianliu_88: mov and vlc is kind of tricky, it depends what kind of codec was used to compress the video, mov is just a quicktime wrapper\
[18:10] <Spectacular> outbackwifi, so you were saying i should get to a grub prompt -- by running 'grub', correct?  then?
[18:10] <alexut> uhm is this the wrong place to ask hw questions?
[18:11] <soneil> I believe that particular .mov is a "reference file" that just points to a stream .. adds needless complication
[18:11] <outbackwifi> Spectacular: now run root (hd0,1)
[18:11] <kdnewton> alexut: what kind of homework questions?
[18:11] <ianliu_88> soneil: yes, that's what it seems
[18:11] <gnuskool> lol
[18:11] <alexut> hardware kdnewton, not homework
[18:11] <alexut> :D
[18:12] <ianliu_88> soneil: the file is too small
[18:12] <outbackwifi> Spectacular: it should say filesystem type and partition
[18:12] <gnuskool> lol
[18:12] <alexut> i need to get "Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG" working on a HP nc4200, have tried everything from installing from intels site (compiling errors) to using ndiswrapper (card recognized but cant connect to AP), any advice ?
[18:12] <kdnewton> Hehe, my bad.
[18:12] <alexut> these work perfectly on windows, its just ubuntu thats been having problems
[18:12] <jadder> hi jadder
[18:13] <soneil> ianliu_88: have you tried pulling the urls out of it, and trying those? (they're human readable, but my linux machines don't have displays, so I can't try myself)
[18:13] <Jack_Sparrow> !wifi
[18:13] <outbackwifi> Sectacular:  if that didnt return any errors ; run setup
[18:13] <Spectacular> outbackwifi, it's still on the "probing devices to guess bios drives, this may take a long time" part... hold on
[18:13] <alexut> k, will read, ty
[18:13] <jessid> hello. Just a simple question: why is it so difficult for people that builds hardware to include a "general" linux driver for its devices? when i say general i mean the source to compile in any flavor of linux. Not only ubuntu or redhat or whatever???
[18:13] <ianliu_88> soneil: thats what Im doing now ;)
[18:13] <Jack_Sparrow> !hardware
[18:14] <Spectacular> outbackwifi, ok, running "root (hd0,1)" just returned another prompt
[18:14] <Jack_Sparrow> jessid For one.. Supplying open source code for hardware you build can be used against you by competitors..
[18:14] <Spectacular> outbackwifi, but no filesystem type and partitions like you said it would
[18:15] <outbackwifi> didnt it say anything about the filesystem and partition type?
[18:15] <Spectacular> outbackwifi, didn't say anything -- just another prompt
[18:15] <Spectacular> outbackwifi,  "root (hd0,1)"
[18:15] <jessid> Jack_Sparrow mmm understand. Good one! thanks!
[18:15] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[18:15] <outbackwifi> Spectacular: thats odd, are you sure your root is on /dev/sda2?
[18:15] <outbackwifi> spectacular: try root (hd0,0)
[18:16] <EugenMayer> is there an easy way to switch the WM from kubuntu to ubuntu ?
[18:16] <Spectacular> outbackwifi, yes i'm sure
[18:16] <Pici> EugenMayer: sure.
[18:16] <Jack_Sparrow> EugenMayer yes
[18:16] <outbackwifi> spectacular: also did you do a sudo grub
[18:16] <Pici> EugenMayer: Install the ubuntu-desktop metapackage.
[18:16] <Spectacular> i'm running it as root, and after chroot
[18:16] <Jack_Sparrow> EugenMayer sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[18:16] <Jack_Sparrow> !puregnome
[18:16] <outbackwifi> spectacular: ok what does root (hd0,0) say?

[18:17] <outbackwifi> spectacular: just to be sure, can you exit grub (by typing quit) and run fdisk -l
[18:17] <outbackwifi> and pastebin it
[18:18] <Spectacular> outbackwifi, root (hd0,0) also just returned another prompt
[18:18] <EugenMayer> Jack_Sparrow: if i compile my own ati drivers, i had to blacklist a module. Can you remember about that?
[18:19] <outbackwifi> spectacular: just to be sure, can you exit grub (by typing quit) and run fdisk -l
[18:19] <EarthLion_> hey whats the command to soft restart a ubuntu box?
[18:19] <Spectacular> outbackwifi, results of fdsk -l are at pastebin.com/m3154ab36

[18:20] <outbackwifi> Spectacular: were you booting both debian and ubuntu earlier?
[18:20] <Jack_Sparrow> konsumer YOu should ask in #windows...
[18:21] <mib_bio> EarthLion_:  other than ctrl-alt-BkSp?
[18:21] <EugenMayer> Jack_Sparrow: i got it running on myy first laptop but trying to reproduce it on the second. Where do i put the blacklist in?
[18:21] <outbackwifi> Spectacular: sine you seem to have a lot of lenny entries
[18:21] <Jack_Sparrow> !blacklist
[18:21] <daftpunk> konsumer delete partition
[18:21] <Spectacular> outbackwifi, i used to run debian, then switched to ubuntu about a month ago.  haven't cleaned up those other entries yet. but i don't use them.

[18:24] <outbackwifi> spectacular: i know just trying to figure out whats going wrong
[18:24] <rampageoberon> Just wondering with sdparm, if you set the standby timer then does it need to be done everytime one reboots? or does it remember?
[18:24] <carandraug> D1MoN: but that's offtopic. Go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:24] <D1MoN> ok
[18:24] <D1MoN> thanks

[18:37] <Spectacular> _Zeus_, yes

[18:38] <Phantomas> hello are there any available instant messanging clients that support webcam and microphone?
[18:38] <Filthpig> um, I can't use local characters (æ ø å) in flash apps (like the playfish apps on facebook)... any idea if this is fixable?
[18:38] <Spectacular> i wonder who's panicking more -- the kernel, or me
[18:38] <ironfoot> I have a problem with updating my ubuntu 8.04 is there a way to fix this?
[18:38] <Tm_T> Phantomas: for what protocol?
[18:38] <Goosemoose> My auto install using preseed.cfg is stopping and asking for kerberos servers
[18:38] <outbackwifi> Phantomas: skype
[18:38] <Goosemoose> I don't see what command should be answering that questions, any ideas?
[18:38] <Phantomas> Tm_T: msn
[18:38] <Tm_T> Phantomas: then I can't help (;)
[18:39] <bobertdos> Filthpig: Define, "can't use" How are you trying to enter them?
[18:39] <ironfoot> it says it's been updated 105 days ago?
[18:39] <Phantomas> outbackwifi: any for msn protocol?
[18:39] <outbackwifi> Spectacular: are you able to boot into debian from there?
[18:39] <Phantomas> Tm_T: ok
[18:39] <outbackwifi> Phantomas: nope
[18:39] <Tm_T> Phantomas: as in, msn is closed protocol, I haven't seen stable webcam + audio support for it
[18:40] <Spectacular> outbackwifi, i havent been able to boot debian since installing ubuntu. not sure why, but since ubuntu was working i didnt care much.  probably some grub setting.  back when i used debian, i was using lilo.
[18:40] <Tm_T> Phantomas: Kopete support webcam for MSN but no audio
[18:40] <Filthpig> bobertdos, like using the keyboard, typing. Nothing happens in the flash window when I do that
[18:40] <Phantomas> Tm_T: i would like both :\
[18:40] <leeping2008> Hi there, I'm having trouble keeping my GNOME panels locked in place.  I can lock the items to the panel, but what I really want to do is lock the panel itself.  I have tried the tips on Google regarding gconf-editor, and they don't work.  Anyone have suggestions?
[18:40] <konsumer> Ubuntu > all
[18:40] <konsumer> gday everyone
[18:40] <konsumer> peace
[18:40] <bobertdos> Filthpig: Are you trying to use the number pad? If so, that is not the way to do it in Linux.
[18:40] <Filthpig> Phantomas, I know amsn2 is supposed to support it, but for now it's webcam only I guess.
[18:41] <outbackwifi> spectacular: what exactly did you do before it stopped working (the ubuntu boot)
[18:41] <Filthpig> bobertdos, no? They are actual keys on the keyboard like "a" and "z"

[18:42] <Spectacular> outbackwifi, i think i did an apt-get upgrade last night.  was late when i went to bed so i dont remember exactly.  i tend to do those routinely and not think about it.  that's the only thing i can think of that could have changed.  i supposed perhaps apt upgraded either grub, or the kernel image or something
[18:43] <tab_shift> Any python freaks here ?
[18:43] <outbackwifi> spectacular: just remembered something
[18:43] <bobertdos> Filthpig: Ah, okay, well.........It might be more of a flash issue I suppose. You could see if setting up a compose key would work for flash, maybe play with the input modes.........
[18:43] <outbackwifi> spectacular: are you in chroot now?
[18:43] <outbackwifi> spectacular: get to the grub prompt
[18:44] <Ardorin> let's say I install a package, and its dependencies, when I uninstall that packaged, the dependencies remain, how do I get rid of them?
[18:44] <Spectacular> outbackwifi, i was in chroot when i did all the grub stuff

[18:44] <tab_shift> Jack_Sparrow: unable to join that channel
[18:44] <Jack_Sparrow> why
[18:44] <Pici> !register | tab_shift
[18:44] <smm289> should two linux systems share files through an smb:// address
[18:44] <b3z3rk3r> back.... class wasnt much fun.. plus i forgot to the readings for it :P
[18:45] <b3z3rk3r> oh well
[18:45] <puff> I'm seeing a lot more spam (hundreds of messages) getting through spamassassin (configured to run at the MTA level).  Anybody know about this?
[18:45] <tab_shift> Jack_Sparrow: You need to be identified to join that channel, i already registered, identified everything
[18:45] <outbackwifi> smm289: no, they should use NFS
[18:45] <outbackwifi> smm289: no, they should use or SSH-FS
[18:46] <kitche> tab_shift: well your not identified that's for sure
[18:46] <Jack_Sparrow> tab_shift I can get in there just fine..
[18:46] <Filthpig> bobertdos, I know it's worknig with flash on both mac and windows, so this is a linux-thing. Dunno if it is flash or linux's error, though
[18:46] <tab_shift> Jack_Sparrow: ok i'll chek it again
[18:47] <livingdaylight_> how does one change nick?
[18:47] <outbackwifi> spectacular: and after you do the find /boot/grub/stage1
[18:47] <ironfoot> can someone help to clean up ubuntu 8.04 also fix updates?
[18:47] <Pici> tab_shift: You need to confirm your email address, check your email.
[18:47] <bobertdos> Filthpig: Yeah, that is hard to say. You have your keyboard layout set appropriately, right?
[18:47] <Spectacular> outbackwifi, one sec -- what are the other things i need to mount, after the root partition, before doing chroot?  i forget -- it scrolled up too far

[18:47] <PeterP24> hi, I have a problem with videos running slow on full screen mode no matter the file format (.avi, .mpg, etc..), the size of the video or the player used. Can anyone help me please?
[18:47] <tab_shift> Jack_Sparrow: NickServ- You are now identified for tab_shift., and then again  You need to be identified to join that channel
[18:48] <b3z3rk3r> livingdaylight_:  just type /nick (then your nick)
[18:48] <Filthpig> bobertdos, sure. æøå is working just fine here, so I don't think x.org is to blame either
[18:49] <outbackwifi> spectacular: dont mount anything
[18:49] <outbackwifi> not even this partition
[18:49] <kieko> b3z3rk3r, thx
[18:49] <outbackwifi> just do it from the livecd
[18:49] <tab_shift> pici: no email in my box
[18:49] <Filthpig> PeterP24, sounds like a graphics driver bleep to me, what card/driver/verion of ubuntu are you using?
[18:49] <Spectacular> outbackwifi, retrace
[18:49] <Spectacular> outbackwifi, so i'll exit out of the chroot?
[18:49] <bobertdos> Filthpig: Well, heaven knows things are far from perfect with Linux flash...........I would guess there is a n incompatibility between the player and the game.
[18:50] <SeanTater2> I blacklisted a module and then restarted but lsmod is sure it's still here. Is that supposed to happen?
[18:50] <leeping2008> No one here knows how to lock the Gnome panel? :(
[18:50] <tab_shift> why does #python require us to identify ?
[18:50] <outbackwifi> spectacular: yes
[18:50] <outbackwifi> and umount the partition too
[18:50] <Spectacular> outbackwifi, it won't let me unmount it, says it's busy though i can't see where it's busy
[18:51] <LjL> tab_shift: that's a good question for #freenode
[18:51] <LjL> possibly
[18:51] <outbackwifi> spectacular: you need to get out of the tree
[18:51] <outbackwifi> spectacular: type cd after you ctl+d
[18:51] <Jack_Sparrow> tab_shift Have you EVER joined that channel
[18:51] <tab_shift> LjL:  will _that_ require us to identify as well ? ;-)
[18:51] <outbackwifi> spectacular: so that you are not inside the directory
[18:51] <smm289> is there a way to setup an NFS mount by using Nautilus

[18:52] <EJ> hi i have a rewmote connection to my webserver and need to do a backup of the mysql database. I've used mysqlhotcopy and it dumped into the directory i wanted it to but it did so in mulitple files. My question is how can i make it dump to this directory in 1 file for easy import when i need to restore the database.
[18:52] <Pici> Jack_Sparrow: He hasn't completed the email verification, see /msg nickserv info tab_shift
[18:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Pici THen he really isnt registered like he said
[18:52] <cheeky> i was trying this command in terminal "du -s /user " and i was in the current directory "/home/user" nad it gave me this back "du: cannot access `/user': No such file or directory" so did "sudo du -s /home/user" and it worked..why coudlnt i just do "/user " instead i had to do a "/home/user"; i thought linux can acess the file from anywhere,am i wrong ?
[18:52] <Kaushal> hi again
[18:52] <outbackwifi> Ej: mysqldump databasename > backupfile.sql
[18:52] <Kaushal> anybody here has used putty in ubuntu
[18:52] <Spectacular> outbackwifi, ok, rebooting.  btw i noticed something different just now, while i was misunderstanding your instructions
[18:52] <Jack_Sparrow> !putty
[18:53] <b3z3rk3r> lol cheeky, you are still at it here?
[18:53] <Spectacular> outbackwifi, (it's rebooting... will take a few minutes)
[18:53] <EJ> [ outbackwifi]: thank you
[18:53] <Turl> erm, putty is for windows :p
[18:53] <outbackwifi> spectacular: ok
[18:53] <klitchholt> there is a linux version
[18:53] <Templar_Xion> So I think NFS-common is bombing my system. How can I forcebly remove every aspect of it? Beyond apt-get remove nfs-common
[18:53] <Turl> for Ubuntu you can use ssh directly
[18:53] <outbackwifi> Turl: its also for linux
[18:53] <klitchholt> but terminal ssh command works fine
[18:53] <outbackwifi> Turl: for the CLI-challenged
[18:53] <Kaushal> Jack_Sparrow, any clue to https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/putty/+question/44727
[18:53] <Turl> ssh is much faster, putty had an encryption problem

[18:53] <smm289> I have a smb share working fine, but I also want my linux client to share that same location.  is there a nice gui fronted to setup an nfs mount
[18:54] <bobertdos> Templar_Xion: don't just remove it, purge it :)
[18:54] <Templar_Xion> bobertdos: How do you purge? :D
[18:54] <Filthpig> PeterP24, both running 64 bit and having that particular gfx card sounds like trouble to me. Which window manager are you using? metacity, compiz or something else?
[18:54] <b3z3rk3r> cheeky: no mate... ask all u want.
[18:54] <Templar_Xion> smm289: look up mount.nfs line, it's not that complicated.
[18:54] <r00t_> any way to smb share a folder, and enable media streaming from that same folder?
[18:54] <outbackwifi> !mount.nfs
[18:54] <cheeky> b3z3rk3r: i kinda feel bad; like and annoyance you know..
[18:54] <Spectacular> outbackwifi, before, after mounting the root partition, i mounted proc and something else the way the other fellow told me to, before doing the chroot, and then run grub.  this time i didn't remember what the other things to mount or the options for proc, so i just mounted root and then ran grub, it took much less time to begin and when i tried that root (hd0,1) line it gave me some sort of error but i didn't pay much attention because you were telling
[18:54] <Spectacular>  me other things.  but let's be more specific and do it your way this time round
[18:54] <b3z3rk3r> cheeky: was just thinking it was funny, iv been in class for the past hour, and so not been able to be on
[18:55] <b3z3rk3r> cheeky: yet i come back, and its still the same ppl :)  its great
[18:55] <bobertdos> Templar_Xion: don't just remove it, apt-get purge <package name> -- It will not only remove the package, but also any and all configuration files and other remnants.

[19:40] <rampageoberon> Hi, I need some help with sdparm, with "sudo sdparm -a /dev/sda" I get no "Power condition mode page". what could the problem be
[19:41] <kbd> airtonix: should I number them consecutively, in other words?
[19:42]  * kbd understands very little about networking at this point
[19:43] <Armada> I've been having a lot of problems with ALSA lately
[19:43] <airtonix> kbd, im not sure it matters but i could be wrong.
[19:43] <Armada> to the point that it locks up my applications
[19:43] <Armada> so I set up PulseAudio, which solved my problems
[19:43] <kbd> airtonix: anyhow, I can figure it out by process of elimination I suppose. thank you very much, so long #ubuntu,and thanks for all the fish
[19:44] <qmemo> hi all, whats the Diffrance Between 8.4.1 and 8.10
[19:44] <Spectacular> _Zeus_, how would i prevent this from happening again? it was just a routine apt-get upgrade, it did it on its own.  if i just reinstall, it'll probably happen again during the next upgrade
[19:44] <Alexia_Death_> Anybod here to discuss hal and how to get it to configure a device per each of the X devices my wacom tablet provides?
[19:44] <Qster> anyone know the command to change screen resolution and hz? something like someprogram 1024 768 120hz
[19:45] <Alexia_Death_> Qster: xrandr
[19:45] <Qster> thank you :)
[19:45] <qmemo> is it something about support?
[19:47] <biouser> damn, tried to $ sudo tasksel remove lamp-server and everything is going bye-bye
[19:47] <biouser> it's amazing I am still here
[19:47] <biouser> it even nailed the icon to restart/reboot in the upper right
[19:48] <_Zeus_> Spectacular: i doubt it
[19:48] <alphakamp>  I have 3gb swap but my /tmp shows only 1mb, is this a bug?
[19:48] <_Zeus_> it's probably a freak accident
[19:48] <_Zeus_> alphakamp: /tmp is in ram
[19:48] <biouser> ot's probably about to uninstall the terminal that it's running in
[19:48] <_Zeus_> type "Free" for ram stats
[19:48] <_Zeus_> !free
[19:48] <biouser> how does xchat still exist in all this carnage?
[19:48] <_Zeus_> dang it; the command is "free"
[19:49] <biouser> NO! not texlive-base!
[19:49] <Spectacular> _Zeus_, you doubt there's anything i can do to prevent it from happening again? or you doubt it'll happen again?
[19:49] <biouser> how did this happen?
[19:49] <_Zeus_> Spectacular: doubt it'll happen again
[19:49] <linuxfce> What can I do to "trim the fat" off ubuntu?
[19:50] <alphakamp> _Zeus_: Thats not what forums said, but I'll go with that, then the reason firefox wont let me download anything is because ram is full...
[19:50] <linuxfce> I'd really like to remove a lot of stuff from ubuntu
[19:50] <_Zeus_> alphakamp: oh.  can you reboot?
[19:50] <djungelkraem> Anyone want to help me get my microphone working?
[19:50] <_Zeus_> linuxfce: xubuntu?
[19:50] <linuxfce> yes xubunutu
[19:51] <clint_> hey everyone, i have to have 7.10 to upgrade to 8 correct?
[19:51] <alphakamp> _Zeus_: Id radther not
[19:51] <clint_> i had 7.04
[19:51] <clint_> going to 7.10 now
[19:51] <clint_> can i go to 8 from there?
[19:51] <linuxfce> has anyone made an ubuntu lite? or an ubuntu which has optional packages which are selected during install?
[19:51] <venger> does ubuntu use /etc/netmasks (like solaris) or do i set this elsewhere?
[19:52] <alphakamp> _Zeus_: I shut down a vm...have pleant of free ram but firefox still thinks /tmp is full
[19:53] <Wicky656> is there any way to change only permissions on directories recursively with chmod?
[19:54] <RickZilla> Hi everybody, Ubuntu newb here...I'd like to try out Ubuntu with a Live CD...can download something to create my own cd, rather than sending away for it via snail mail?
[19:54] <linuxfce> i want more eye candy,  i have used and abused compiz fusion, so now what? what did we use before composite?
[19:55] <Alexia_Death_> Nobody to talk hal?
[19:55] <mizipzor> if i make a shortcut (in gnome) with Command set to cd /wanted/work/dir && app-to-launch, i get "Details: Failed to execute child process "cd" (No such file or directory)"... why?
[19:55] <linuxfce> they fired up the particle collidertoday
[19:55] <cheeky> linuxfce: i think beryle...
[19:55] <linuxfce> hey i have a good question, how can i map a different key to be the space bar
[19:56] <alphakamp> can anyone explain why firefox might think /tmp is full even though I have more than 2gbs of ram free?
[19:56] <linuxfce>  /tmp isnt on the ram is it
[19:56] <linuxfce> i think thats HD directory
[19:57] <djungelkraem> Anyone got any tips why my microphone doesnt work in Skype?
[19:57] <djungelkraem> The other participants only hear themselves through me
[19:57] <linuxfce> djungel i have a uneducated idea if you want to give it a go
[19:57] <linuxfce> since nobody else here is supporting right now
[19:57] <linuxfce> sudo apt-get install alsamixergui
[19:58] <linuxfce> alsamixergui
[19:58] <Russian> can anyone help me with wireless internet connection?
[19:58] <linuxfce> find yourrecording device, turn it on, and turn it up
[19:58] <linuxfce> russian you may need to check out the documentation for ndiswrapper if your device isnt natively supported
[19:58] <djungelkraem> linuxfce: what does that do?
[19:59] <Russian> linuxfce --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/45454/
[19:59] <linuxfce> djungel its just a volume control, and if you turn up the volume on your recording device, and select it AS your recording device, skypeshould work
[19:59] <linuxfce> seems like its supported russian whats wrong with it?
[19:59] <djungelkraem> linuxfce: skype should use ALSA and the other programs Pulse?
[20:00] <djungelkraem> linuxfce: how do i acces the control prog i just installed?
[20:00] <Russian> linuxfce, I cant seen any connection at all
[20:00] <linuxfce> russian in terminal do sudo iwlist scan
[20:00] <loller> i`ve got archive with 7z extentions how can i open it ?
[20:00] <Russian> linuxfce sec I need to reboot in ubuntu then
[20:01] <linuxfce> oh dang how did i get myself into this
[20:01] <linuxfce> every time i come here with a question i end up answering questions that imill prepared to answer
[20:01] <linuxfce> djungelkraem pulseaudio in terminal might get you somewhere
[20:01] <loller> i`ve got archive with 7z extentions how can i open it ?
[20:01] <xintron> how do I set commands to run at boot? Like I want to make a link from a folder to another. In what file do I edit that?
[20:02] <redf1sh> loller: http://www.fileinfo.net/extension/7z
[20:02] <linuxfce> xintron i think its /etc/modprobe.d/options
[20:02] <stdin> xintron: /etc/rc.local
[20:02] <redf1sh> xinitron: rc.local
[20:02] <djungelkraem> linuxfce: nothing happened when i entered pulseaudio in terminal.
[20:03] <xintron> so then just add like "ln -s /folder/ /folder/" in rc.local?
[20:03] <djungelkraem> linuxfce: my card is HDA Intel and chip: Realtek ALC883
[20:03] <stdin> xintron: you could just use a bind mount to link directories together
[20:03] <Pici> xintron: Why do you need to do that every boot?
[20:03] <linuxfce> hmm djungelkraem the specifics i cant help you with but you want to have your recording device selected in your volume control, and the recording volume turned up
[20:03] <Pici> loller: Install the p7zip package.
[20:03] <xintron> stdin: how?
[20:03] <linuxfce> try double clicking onthe volumeicon in your task tray
[20:03] <linuxfce> if its there
[20:03] <xintron> Pici: I need to do that apparently :/
[20:03] <Armada> I'm having trouble sharing my sound card, I heard dmix might solve my problems, how do I get it?
[20:04] <stdin> xintron: you add an entry to your /etc/fstab. like "/some/dir      /home/me/dir none    bind    0       0"
[20:04] <loller> Pici: already doing this
[20:04] <xintron> stdin: ah, that was the folder I was looking for. thanks :)
[20:04] <RickZilla> If I download the latest Ubuntu release and I burn it to a cd, will that create  Live cd for me?
[20:04] <alphakamp> On the theory that /tmp is on memory how can I make firefox think that memory is now free and not have to reboot
[20:05] <linuxfce> rickzilla yes
[20:05] <xintron> stdin: if I would like to start unrealircd at bootup, how would I do that the easiest way? rc.local?
[20:05] <RickZilla> linuxfce:  Thanks, trying it now
[20:05] <djungelkraem> linuxfce: i have a capture, capture 1 and microphone, it doesnt seem to help to higher any of them
[20:05] <stdin> alphakamp: /tmp is not on memory, it's on the root partition
[20:05] <bender183> anyone here ever use peer1 or hostways for hosting in past?
[20:05] <khakane> hi, i opened kmenuedit on 2 machines, and after i did it, my "e" button no longer works
[20:05] <alphakamp> stdin: Thank you, sounds like I got false info a moment ago
[20:05] <RickZilla> One more question...if I uninstall Windows XP and install Ubuntu, will I have to go out and find Linux based drivers?
[20:05] <Pici> bender183: see #web or #ubuntu-offtopic, this is not an Ubuntu Support related issue.
[20:06] <khakane> anyon got any ideas about this?  its too weird
[20:06] <stdin> xintron: if it doesn't have a start-up script, then you can just add the command to start it to /etc/rc.local, yes
[20:06] <vargadanis> is there a way to download the full repo of ubuntu to a dvd or something?
[20:06] <_Zeus_> RickZilla: no, almost all hardware will work out of the box
[20:06] <unop> xintron, depends .. to start services on boot .. it's better to create a init script  .. use /etc/rc.local just to run commands
[20:06] <alphakamp> And back to square one, firefox thinks /tmp is full thus I can not download anything... any sugestions?
[20:06] <RickZilla> _Zeus_:  Thanks
[20:07] <bender183> ok Pici, my apoligies
[20:07] <xintron> unop: ok, but how do I create an init script to controll it, to start/stop/rehash?
[20:07] <_Zeus_> alphakamp: did you reboot?
[20:07] <khakane> is there a way i can restart the keyboard?
[20:07] <Travis_> Anybody know how to prevent Nautilus from automatically opening folders when you plug in a USB drive?
[20:07] <stdin> alphakamp: it used to be in memory, but some applications (like CD/DVD burning applications) sometimes use some dirs in /tmp to store temporary data. and that data can be larger than the available RAM
[20:08] <unop> xintron, there's a sample init script (in /etc/init.d i think) - can't remember what it was
[20:09] <xintron> unop: /etc/init.d/skelleton?
[20:09] <unop> xintron, but the idea is the script has to respond to start/stop/restart like you said
[20:09] <unop> xintron, that's probably it
[20:09] <unop> yep
[20:09] <khakane> hrmm im not seeing anywhere to restart th kb
[20:09] <xintron> unop: I tried to use that one, but couldn't get the rehas function to work :/
[20:09] <alphakamp> _Zeus_: Rebooting is for M$ users, linux there is always a way not to have to reboot, unless you are updating the kernel
[20:09] <[nrx]> anyone know of a quick keyboard shortcut to get konsole up?
[20:09] <khakane> or your e button stops working ;)
[20:10] <vargadanis> [nrx]: click on the icon :)
[20:10] <cheeky> [nrx]: umm tilda?
[20:10] <unop> xintron, rehash isn't really important - implementing start and stop should be enough,  though restart is easy, just call stop and start
[20:10] <Armada> I'm having trouble sharing my sound card, I heard dmix might solve my problems, how do I get it?
[20:10] <xintron> unop: I can still use rehash on the file itself right?
[20:10] <Russian> linuxfce I did what you asked --> http://img81.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotcd9.png
[20:11] <unop> xintron, depends, what do you expect rehash to do?
[20:11] <stdin> [nrx]: there is an application called yakuake, you can have it always running and hide it (completely) when you don't need it
[20:11] <xintron> unop: nvm.
[20:12] <alphakamp> stdin: Intresting because I can not burn cds either
[20:12] <khakane> FIXED IT
[20:12] <stdin> alphakamp: check how much free space the root partition has "df -h /"
[20:13] <unop> and go have a coffee break while that is running :)
[20:13] <garmor> Hello!
[20:13] <_Zeus_> alphakamp: try cycling the swap off
[20:13] <evvvo> damnnn!
[20:13] <vargadanis> can i somehow download all debs and use them as an offline source fro installing packages?
[20:13] <_Zeus_> alphakamp: but if you want more help, reboot first

[20:14] <Russian> guys can anyone help me with setting up wireless connection please?
[20:14] <garmor> Does anyone here have any experience getting a NIS server up and running on Ubuntu Server 8.0.4?
[20:14] <vargadanis> Russian: sure
[20:14] <stdin> evvvo: ubottu is a bot
[20:14] <_Zeus_> evvvo: what are you talking about?
[20:14] <_Zeus_> i called him in
[20:14] <vargadanis> Russian: what is your card? lspci
[20:15] <Russian> vargadanis --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/45454/
[20:15] <alphakamp> stdin: 20+GB
[20:15] <_Zeus_> alphakamp: until you reboot, i'm ignoring you
[20:16] <vargadanis> Russian: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766169
[20:16] <stdin> alphakamp: well, it's not a disk usage issue then
[20:16] <evvvo> its true that fluxbox rules over kubuntu and gnome together'
[20:16] <evvvo> ?
[20:16] <vargadanis> Russian: http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=766018
[20:16] <alphakamp> _Zeus_: Good for you, and what If I was running a prodution server?
[20:16] <gaintsura> evvvo: its very minimalistic (fluxbox) and quick, but thats all I've noticed from it
[20:17] <evvvo> gaintsura: what do you use?
[20:17] <_Zeus_> alphakamp: running a production server and playing around in firefox downloading files?  i don't think so
[20:17] <stdin> evvvo: fluxbox is a Desktop Environment, just like KDE and Gnome are. they can all use any applications though
[20:17] <gaintsura> could anyone possibly help me reconfigure gnome, compiz, cairo-dock, and my video drivers back to original install? something happened
[20:17] <Odd-rationale> stdin: you mean fluxbox is a window manager?
[20:17] <evvvo> stdin: it cant run compiz
[20:17] <gaintsura> evvvo: usually I use gnome, but because of some weird ass driver failure, I've been stuck on blackbox/fluxbox
[20:17] <gaintsura> Odd-rationale: it is too
[20:17] <_Zeus_> !language | gaintsura
[20:17] <alphakamp> _Zeus_: I said, if...   Please?  :-)
[20:19] <xintron> unrealircd is controlled like "./unreal start". How do I edit so I can use an init.d file to start/stop my file (I've got skeleton as template)?
[20:20] <unop> xintron, the start function calls this command.
[20:20] <alphakamp> _Zeus_: Now how would I cycle swap, I havent even gotten a chance to ask that before you were refusing to help me
[20:20] <_Zeus_> alphakamp: swapoff, swapon
[20:20] <unop> xintron, something like.   function start () { ./unreal start }
[20:20] <xintron> unop: so I only change the NAME, DEAMON  file?
[20:20] <_Zeus_> alphakamp: you sure have a lot of knowledge for someone running a production server
[20:20] <xintron> unop: ah, ok
[20:20] <evvvo> i use fluxbox... but sometimes kde and also gnome, they all run fairly good. however my ati1450 makes loud noise, like its running very fast all the time. Ive installed lm-sensors but it cant control the fans... what would be a second option to solve this puzzle? ive lowered the cpu clock from core2 2.0 to core2 996mhz. The noise is better, but still loud. This same notebook on windows makes almost no noise.
[20:20] <unop> xintron, well, my example is very basic -- though you should use the daemon call like other scripts do
[20:20] <javierg> Im trying to remove the ubuntu login so that I can just login from a terminal view. I removed the ubuntu splash and all that. but can't figure out how to remove the login so that I can log in a terminal and then type startx. Can anyone help me out?
[20:21] <_Zeus_> javierg: sudo apt-get remove gdm
[20:21] <unop> xintron, and another thing. you have to change directory for  ./unreal start  to work, as you might know
[20:21] <alphakamp> _Zeus_: Again I said if...
[20:21] <xintron> unop: yeah, know that. I'll play around a bit then :)
[20:21] <javierg> _Zeus_, Thats just the logon? It won't mess with anything else?

[20:35] <SlimeyPete> C0L7: Spore doesn't work with Wine yet
[20:35] <linduxed> ive typed into a xmodmap that 66 (the capslock key) should act as a backspace and if i press Shift it should do a caplock....the thing is however that is always does both, even when i remove the shift+caps thing (i still get a backspace and caps)........any fix?

[20:35] <gecko2000> Hi, I'm using Amarok for my musics but it's saying something about Xine not being able to find sound drivers.. i had sound lastnight, and now i dont .. help?
[20:35] <Kn_> what do i have to do when i want my harddrives to mount automatically at startup?
[20:36] <SlimeyPete> C0L7: actually, it does appear to work. See the URL I gave you.
[20:36] <C0L7> ok
[20:36] <SlimeyPete> sorry... I was being dumb
[20:36] <danbhfive> !fstab > Kn_
[20:36] <Ob1Kn00b> Kn_ google fstab
[20:36] <xintron> _Zeus_: so, I want unrealircd and anopeIRCServices to start at bootup (both got their own working init.d start file). How would I add them?
[20:36] <Phantomas> hello i have a microphone but it is not working
[20:36] <keevie> I installed hardy yesterday, and after rebooting with for proprietary nvidia drivers, my sound card is no longer detected
[20:36] <C0L7> i have no clue how to get wine to work, i have the spores game iso
[20:36] <Phantomas> can anyone help me
[20:36] <tyberion> is there an easy way to reset the sound driver instead of rebooting??!!=
[20:36] <SlimeyPete> C0L7: thing is, the Wine in Ubuntu is not the latest version so Spore may not work with it. You may have to download a new version of Wine.
[20:36] <_Zeus_> xintron: can you use Preferences > Sessions?
[20:37] <SlimeyPete> C0L7: in general to use Wine you just double-click the .exe on the disc
[20:37] <C0L7> ok
[20:37] <Nigra4justice> erver irc.partyvan.fm
[20:37] <xintron> _Zeus_: nope
[20:37] <Alexia_Death_> Wine also has nice app-db to tell you if something is known to not work
[20:37] <Alexia_Death_> or not work
[20:37] <erUSUL> !appdb
[20:37] <_Zeus_> xintron: ok, then IIRC update-rc.d defaults filename should work
[20:37] <SebNaitsabes> also WIndows can be run inside Ubuntu
[20:38] <SlimeyPete> C0L7: note that according to the URL I gave you, you need to patch & compile your own Wine.
[20:38] <keevie> can anyone help?
[20:38] <SebNaitsabes> maybe, but with what?
[20:38] <SlimeyPete> i.e. the one which comes with Ubuntu probably won't work
[20:38] <keevie>  I installed hardy yesterday, and after rebooting with for proprietary nvidia drivers, my sound card is no longer detected
[20:38] <SebNaitsabes> keevie:  or maybe it is detected, but  you jus don't have  sound.  are you absoutlly sure it's not detected?
[20:38] <keevie> yeah
[20:38] <Jampiter> Hi
[20:39] <xintron> _Zeus_: like "update-rc.d defaults unreal" and "update-rc.d defaults anope" then?
[20:39] <keevie> aplay -l gives no sound card detected
[20:39] <Ob1Kn00b> between boots, my partitions were renamed from sda1 sda 2 to sde1 sde2, how  do I stop this from happening?
[20:39] <_Zeus_> xintron: if you're in the folder that the files are in, yes
[20:39] <_Zeus_> Ob1Kn00b: did you have something else in the computer during boot?
[20:39] <xintron> _Zeus_: ok, I'll give it a try. I'll notice when the server reboots the next time :P
[20:39] <Hace> Hi@ll
[20:39] <SebNaitsabes> keevie:  I am not sure, mabye someone else can help
[20:39] <ScheissDrogen> keevie: lspci ?
[20:39] <tyberion> hm guys, can u tell me how to RESET my soundcard if it doesnt work anymore.. but after a reboot it does??!
[20:40] <_Zeus_> xintron: it should work... :-P
[20:40] <keevie> it shows up
[20:40] <keevie> not sure what to do now
[20:40] <Ob1Kn00b> sorry, can you clarify?
[20:40] <danbhfive> Ob1Kn00b: well, I think that happens because of different devices being connected, get it?  It will rename the devices if you change the order of them, connect them different, etc.
[20:40] <xintron> _Zeus_: nope :P update-rc.d defaults unreal
[20:40] <xintron> update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/defaults: file does not exist
[20:40] <Jampiter> I'm trying to change the bootsplash to the default ubuntu one (I have Kubuntu + packages). I was given a method before but that didn't work. How could I do this? The previous method was 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash-theme-ubuntu'
[20:40] <xintron> _Zeus_: it's the other way around... but thanks :D
[20:40] <_Zeus_> yeah lol
[20:40] <_Zeus_> yw
[20:41] <danbhfive> Ob1Kn00b: thats where UUIDs come in.  They are supposed to stay the same, regardless of how the device is connected.  So just mount the drives in fstab using UUIDs
[20:41] <Ob1Kn00b> nope, just a reboot, I noticed it renamed the boot partition, but that didn't cause a problem. Can i identify the partition through its uuid?
[20:41] <SebNaitsabes> jampiter:  you mean the one that comes up to say things are loading once the computer has been turned on or re booted?
[20:41] <Ob1Kn00b> zing. I'll do that
[20:41] <Jampiter> Yeah
[20:41] <keevie> ShcheissDrogen: that is, it shows up in lspci -v
[20:41] <danbhfive> !UUID | Ob1Kn00b
[20:41] <Stolbro> can I use 2 screens without using ati drivers?
[20:41] <garmor> I was wondering, does anyone here have any experience getting a NIS server up and running on Ubuntu Server 8.0.4?
[20:41] <Jampiter> With 'Kubuntu' and the blue bar
[20:41] <ScheissDrogen> funny issue: after a small repair my pc won#t connect from terminal,opera or pidgin to internet  BUT with firefox, any hint ?
[20:42] <SebNaitsabes> jampiter:  well I know why it has changed it,  but I don't see why you would want to change back to the Ubuntu one.  I think the Kubuntu ones looks nicer, and yes I use Ubuntu not Kubuntu
[20:42] <ScheissDrogen> keevie: almost (my ) nick, p.m. me
[20:42] <Phantomas> can you please help me configuring my mic
[20:42] <Ob1Kn00b> thanks _Zeus_, ubotto, danbhfive
[20:42] <robd> Hello all!
[20:42] <Jampiter> I think it's more appropriate - I have all the ubuntus now minus Edubuntu
[20:42] <ScheissDrogen> !hi
[20:42] <_Zeus_> sure, Ob1Kn00b
[20:42] <SebNaitsabes> Jampiter: do you use Kubuntu?
[20:43] <psor> hi all - how in Mint watch my MAC adress ? maybe command in consol ?
[20:43] <Jampiter> Yeah, but with different desktops
[20:43] <psor> hi all - how in Mint watch my MAC adress ? maybe command in consol ?
[20:43] <Jack_Sparrow> !mint
[20:43] <Jampiter> I use KDE4, GNOME and XFCE
[20:43] <Alexia_Death_> psor: ifconfig
[20:43] <LjL> psor: ifconfig (and this is the Ubuntu support channel, not Mint)
[20:43] <SebNaitsabes> Jampiter:  you could try looking around the package manager,  there is probably something installed that gives you the Kubuntu boot splash.  and it might be as simple as just removing that and it going back to the Ubuntu one
[20:44] <cosmodad> I'm regularly having issues with video streaming using Firefox. Among the different plugins, which one(s) should I use?
[20:44] <Jampiter> Ok, thanks :)
[20:44] <psor> Munt based at Ubuntu
[20:44] <SebNaitsabes> Jampiter: well there will be something installed that gives the boot splash
[20:44] <Jack_Sparrow> psor Based on does not mean we support it
[20:44] <pibe86> hello, i use this command sudo mkfs ext3 /dev/sdb1 to format my pen drive and it says mkfs.ext2: invalid blocks count - /dev/sdb1
[20:44] <LjL> psor: and Ubuntu based at Debian - but we don't support Debian and Debian doesn't support Ubuntu
[20:44] <pibe86> any help?
[20:44] <ompaul> psor, they have their own support structure
[20:44] <Jampiter> So do I just open synaptic and search for boot splash?
[20:44] <SebNaitsabes> yep that's a start
[20:44] <Jack_Sparrow> ompaul sort of anyhow.. :)
[20:45]  * Jampiter gives that a go

[20:45] <garmor> Hello again everyone
[20:45] <danbhfive> how do I remove a driver?
[20:45] <garmor> I was wondering, does anyone here have any experience getting a NIS server up and running on Ubuntu Server 8.0.4?
[20:45] <ompaul> !mintsupport > psor
[20:45] <pibe86> hello, i use this command sudo mkfs ext3 /dev/sdb1 to format my pen drive and it says mkfs.ext2: invalid blocks count - /dev/sdb1
[20:46] <evvvo> pibe86: ??
[20:46] <evvvo> pibe86: ext3 or 2
[20:46] <pibe86> i write ext2 o 3 and same error
[20:46] <ompaul> pibe86, you may not be able to do that - those sticks are fat
[20:46] <garmor> I was wondering, does anyone here have any experience getting a NIS server set up?
[20:46] <Jampiter> What's 'Splashy'?
[20:47] <pibe86> i tried with vfat and same error
[20:47] <SebNaitsabes> !NIS
[20:47] <LjL> ompaul: well, there's nothing that intrinsically forces them to be FAT
[20:47] <pibe86> ompaul:  i tried with vfat and same error
[20:47] <Jack_Sparrow> garmor Please hole down on the repeats
[20:47] <Jack_Sparrow> pibe86 what tool are you using to format the flash drive?
[20:47] <ompaul> LjL, my reading of ubuntu on a stick page made me think it was that way  - chat with you elsewhere on it
[20:47] <HCIS_Helpdesk> All time lurker mode, engage!
[20:48] <pibe86> Jack_Sparrow:  mkfs
[20:48] <Jampiter> !ubottu
[20:48] <Jack_Sparrow> pibe86 that should do it.. what is the full command you are using?
[20:48] <SkyLeach> hey all.  I just installed and configured subversion on ubuntu but I found no startup script in /etc/init.d
[20:49] <SkyLeach> is there another package that contains that, or need I roll my own?
[20:49] <ScheissDrogen>  ompaul: its n.p. to format usb-stick to ext2/3
[20:49] <C0L7> how can i compile the latest wine app i have the file dlded but im new at this
[20:49] <ScheissDrogen> !compile
[20:49] <loller> does anybody can give idea how to open video file with swf extension i`ve already check this http://www.fileinfo.net/extension/swf
[20:49] <garmor> Sorry about the repetition
[20:49] <Jack_Sparrow> C0L7 /join #winehq
[20:49] <SebNaitsabes> COL7:  the DEB?
[20:49] <LjL> Col7: the WINE provided by Ubuntu doesn't work for you?

[20:49] <_Zeus_> !ru | psor
[20:49] <erUSUL> C0L7: winhq offers hardy debs no need to compile
[20:49] <Jack_Sparrow> !ru
[20:49] <C0L7> no i need the latest release to run the game Spores (from what ppl say)
[20:49] <SlimeyPete> it won't work with Spoe, LjL.
[20:49] <_Zeus_> hahahahaha
[20:49] <_Zeus_> :-D
[20:49] <SebNaitsabes> !flash
[20:50] <SlimeyPete> erm, Spore
[20:50] <Jack_Sparrow> C0L7 Winehq has the answers to that
[20:50] <C0L7> kk

[20:50] <loller> does anybody can give idea how to open video file with swf extension i`ve already check this http://www.fileinfo.net/extension/swf
[20:50] <psor> sorry wrong window %)
[20:50] <LjL> SlimeyPete: ok. i seriously doubt, however, that Spore works even with the latest version of WINE, have you checked? i *really* believe it doesn't work. --- and anyway, you can usually obtain the latest version of WINE, as a proper .deb, from WINE's repositories
[20:50] <danbhfive> !hi
[20:50] <LjL> !wine | SlimeyPete
[20:50] <Jampiter> !ubottu uwn
[20:50] <SlimeyPete> LjL: it does according to appdb
[20:51] <phpwutz> loller try vlc Player
[20:51] <Stolbro> can I use Dual view in ubuntu 8.10 (gnome)?
[20:51] <SlimeyPete> LjL: I know what WINE is ;p
[20:51] <SlimeyPete> :)
[20:51] <pibe86> Jack_Sparrow:  i am using mkfs command
[20:51] <LjL> SlimeyPete: so? check the page anyway, which is the reason i gave it to you. it contains instructions for using the winehq repositories to get the latest version.
[20:51] <Jack_Sparrow> pibe86 understood, but can you paste here the exact line you are using and info on your stick
[20:51] <loller> phpwutz doesn`t work
[20:52] <LordDicranius> I've just setup a server to pull time from various USNO time servers, and have configured another server to sync time to that one.  how do I check to make sure the 2nd server is syncing with the first?
[20:52] <SlimeyPete> LjL: that's nice. Why are you telling me? C0L7 is the one who's trying to run Spore.
[20:52] <phpwutz> whisper
[20:52] <phpwutz> @loller
[20:52] <SlimeyPete> sorry, that sounded snarky
[20:52] <linduxed> what would the reverse for "xmodmap -e "remove Lock = Caps_Lock"" be?
[20:52] <SlimeyPete> I do appreciate that you're trying to help
[20:52] <pibe86> Jack_Sparrow:  ok let me 1 second
[20:52] <C0L7> k thanks. im jus gonna VM windows
[20:53] <bdunlap> is anybody here able to troubleshoot bluetooth connectivity/sending files problems?
[20:53] <SlimeyPete> erm... he's gonna get a shock if he tries to run Spore in a VM :?
[20:53] <SlimeyPete> :/
[20:53] <Jack_Sparrow> SlimeyPete I know from experience that the ops here can often respond with 1000 lines a day 7 days a wek for months at a time..  We dont always get it right, but we sure try.
[20:53] <LjL> SlimeyPete: ah sorry then. seems he decided to do it his own way anyway
[20:54] <SlimeyPete> Jack_Sparrow: yeah I know... sorry, I've been at work all day. I've been hanging around in here for... ooh... three years maybe? and have found everyone very helpful on the whole.
[20:54] <vargadanis> how do I print out numbers like this? for i in 660-680; do echo $i; done
[20:54] <SlimeyPete> LjL: yeah... I wish him luck ;)
[20:54] <ShackJack> Hi all - I have an odd wi-fi problem with a fresh Hardy (Xubuntu) install... The Belkin PCMCIA card I have in my (old) notebook works fine with unsecured network (haven't tried WEP), but WPA/WPA2 don't even show up as options for those kinds of networks (in gnome-network-manager). Though I can see SSIDS of WPA/WPA2 networks. I have wpa_supplicant installed... Any thoughts?
[20:54] <capps|work> anyone else having wireless issues? I just updated and im getting faulty firmware error messages
[20:54] <Jack_Sparrow> vargadanis By                  /join #bash
[20:54] <LjL> vargadanis: for i in {660..680}; do echo $i; done
[20:54] <matholu1> hello everyone! I have a hopefully easy question that has been driving me crazy... when I am in windows, my sound card lets me configure what each port is (in, out, left, right.. etc...) How can I do that in ubuntu?
[20:55] <jasher> hey, i'm using photoshop using cadega and i cant seem to install a new font, can anyone help me with this
[20:55] <pibe86> Jack_Sparrow:  look http://pastebin.com/d7c65166a
[20:55] <jasher> (very frusterated)
[20:55] <vargadanis> LjL: thanx
[20:55] <LjL> jasher, Cedega is a commercial application that comes with its own support...
[20:55] <SebNaitsabes> jasher:  Cedega why Cedega, why not Wine or Codeweavers?  also about the fonts I think I have an idea
[20:55] <jasher> anyone know anything about fonts/photoshop on ubuntu
[20:55] <jasher> um
[20:55] <SebNaitsabes> jasher:  Cedega is for games not Photoshop it's a port of Wine made for games
[20:56] <Rabbitbunny> jasher: Gimp. done.
[20:56] <jasher> then nvm im using wine
[20:56] <Ad0> I have a serious problem
[20:56] <jasher> rabbitbunny: no thanks, much different.. i cant jut convert
[20:56] <SebNaitsabes> jasher:  I assume like Wine that Cedega has a fonts folder  just put the font in there
[20:56] <Ad0> some processes just relaunch after termination
[20:56] <Ad0> I have no idea why and how
[20:56] <nox_> hi everybody whats up?:)
[20:56] <ScheissDrogen> whats wrong if ff can do internet but terminal (apt) can't ? if I boot to terminal, it also works
[20:56] <ScheissDrogen> !hi
[20:56] <babo> firefox quite often hogs 100% of my cpu for 20-30 second periods. The mem is at about 16%. What's so cpu intensive for FF ? I'm not doing anything special in it ? It's not even loading new pages sometimes ...
[20:56] <erUSUL> Ad0: which ones?
[20:56] <Ad0> xbmc.bin
[20:56] <Ad0> and vdr-sxfe
[20:57] <LjL> ScheissDrogen: possibly a proxy. echo $HTTP_PROXY
[20:57] <MPSimmons> babo: what version of FF?
[20:57] <Ad0> I haven't experienced this with xine
[20:57] <arooni> is there a utility other than ps2pdf to convert .ps => .pdf ?  the converter seems to lop off a good portion of the document.
[20:57] <babo> MPSimmons, FF<IP_ADDRESS>
[20:57] <MPSimmons> babo: I don't care what the FF people say, FF2 has a memory leak disguised as a feature
[20:57] <ScheissDrogen>  LjL:trying (other machine)........
[20:58] <babo> MPSimmons, it's not a memory leak. if anything it's a cycle leak ...
[20:58] <ianm_> any Portlanders here interested in music visualization, live art installations, live music analysis, Cairo, OpenGL, or Ruby?  (and who use Ubuntu obviously!)
[20:58] <MPSimmons> babo: Try upgrading to 3 if you can. If not, there are some paging running around telling how to cut down on the resources
[20:58] <babo> cut down on resources ? I'm not using swap, and I'm only using a fraction of memory ...
[20:58] <nox_> somebody nows when start new ubuntu 8.10?
[20:58] <MPSimmons> is it just processor then?
[20:58] <MPSimmons> oh
[20:58] <SebNaitsabes> nox_:  your question did not make sense
[20:58] <babo> shouldn't be a memory or resources leak ...
[20:58] <Jack_Sparrow> pibe86 Type mkfs.vfat -F 16 -n usb /dev/sdb1
[20:58] <MPSimmons> sorry, I missed the last bit
[20:59] <LjL> arooni: well, i guess you could always use the PDF virtual printer (which i believe both GNOME and KDE, although i use KDE, configure CUPS to provide) with any PS reader
[20:59] <MPSimmons> Is this when it's sitting idle, or do you have a page loaded?
[20:59] <Rabbitbunny> babo: ff2 could eat my 320mb system ram in about nine hours.
[20:59] <pibe86> Jack_Sparrow: thanks i have fixed it, i just had to umonut it
[20:59] <pibe86> ty
[20:59] <Ad0> any ideas erUSUL ? :)
[20:59] <nox_> sebnaitsabes? why sory maybe my english its not good but i am asking about next version of ubuntu
[20:59] <gecko2000> just recently had Ubuntu installed and i dont know alot about it, but i know i had sound last night and now today Amarok is saying something about Xine can't find any sound drivers.... no sound in any programs, help??
[20:59] <ScheissDrogen>  LjL:gives neither an output nor a change
[21:00] <LjL> nox_: support for the next version is in #ubuntu+1
[21:00] <babo> Rabbitbunny, yeah, i used to get that as well. it doesn't seem to be as bad anymore though ...
[21:00] <erUSUL> Ad0: not even know what programs you are talking about ...
[21:00] <SebNaitsabes> nox_:  Next version of Ubuntu is out in October
[21:00] <Minty> hello
[21:00] <babo> MPSimmons, I'm on dual-core Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU         T5500  @ 1.66GHz
[21:00] <babo> i wish i'd upgraded now ...
[21:00] <Rabbitbunny> babo: nah, ff3 fixed whatever it was.
[21:00] <LjL> ScheissDrogen: ok, try echo $http_proxy too (lowercase), and also, does a "ping www.google.com" work? or is it only APT?
[21:00] <Ad0> XBMC (xbox media center) and vdr-sxfe (xineliboutput client for vdr)
[21:00] <ShackJack> Hi all - I have an odd wi-fi problem with a fresh Hardy (Xubuntu) install...

Though I can see SSIDS of WPA/WPA2 networks. I have wpa_supplicant installed... Any thoughts?
[21:00] <MPSimmons> babo: You type that like Firefox cares ;-) I hate to ask, but what extensions do you have installed?
[21:00] <Ad0> is there something that relaunches processes that have a dirty exit, erUSUL ?
[21:00] <Minty> have just installed ubuntu on mu netbook and 'think' that I have killed my xp partion as grub soen't show it on boot
[21:00] <SebNaitsabes> !wireless
[21:01] <ScheissDrogen>  LjL:tried all variants already , no its also opera and pidgin
[21:01] <Minty> how can I check to see if gone or just 'hidden' ?
[21:01] <SebNaitsabes> Minty: are you on a Live CD?
[21:01] <erUSUL> Ad0: no that i know of...
[21:01] <babo> MPSimmons, too many to list.  Especially for a profit-making entity ...
[21:01] <Jack_Sparrow> Minty sudo fdisk -l
[21:01] <Minty> I was then did a install
[21:01] <Ad0> :-/
[21:01] <bdunlap> does anybody understand " Couldn't display "obex"//(mac) - Error: DBus error.org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply..."
[21:01] <MPSimmons> Minty: fdisk -l /dev/sda
[21:01] <LjL> ScheissDrogen: i don't think i know then
[21:01] <SebNaitsabes> Minty:  or  sudo gparted
[21:01] <babo> MPSimmons, maybe i canned some extensions and that helped. I have less than i used to have
[21:02] <MPSimmons> babo: That's why I hate to ask. It's possible that one is causing it, though. For example, my computer is absolutely unusable with greasemonkey
[21:02] <erUSUL> !gksudo | SebNaitsabes
[21:02] <ScheissDrogen>  LjL:thank you anyway, gotta circle that problem
[21:03] <Minty> MPSimmons cant open /dev/sda
[21:03] <babo> MPSimmons, yeah, that might explain a memory leak. but surely a runaway CPU couldn't be explained by a ff extension ...
[21:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Minty sudo fdisk -l
[21:03] <SebNaitsabes> erUSUL: uhmmmm ok thanks
[21:03] <gecko2000> i have no sound on my computer, any one able to help? worked lastnight but it's not today.
[21:03] <babo> not if it wasn't being used at the time anyway ...
[21:03] <Minty> sorry did a l and not a i
[21:03] <Jack_Sparrow> mint it is an L
[21:04] <arooni> i have 1.pdf, 2.pdf, and 3.pdf.  i'd like to make them into one pdf called combined.pdf .... how can i do this?

[21:05] <MPSimmons> babo: the memory leak is caused by FF2 caching the contents of every page it touches in memory. Greasemonkey slaughtered my cpu to the point that I had to uninstall it
[21:06] <nox_> Jack_Sparrow no mint but ultimate edition
[21:06] <Jack_Sparrow> !mint
[21:06] <tabakhase> thanks
[21:06] <erUSUL> !fstab > tabakhase
[21:06] <MPSimmons> If you've got it installed, you might as well try it. You can always reinstall it
[21:06] <Jack_Sparrow> nox_ READ the last two words
[21:06] <Minty> going to reboot in irc on linux nack asp
[21:07] <Minty95> ok back
[21:07] <speedcore> how do I change the user umask
[21:07] <Minty95> Usage: fdisk [-b TAILLE] [-u] DISQUE    modifier la table de partitions
[21:07] <Minty95>        fdisk -l [-b TAILLE] [-u] DISQUE lister les tables de partitions
[21:07] <Minty95>        fdisk -s PARTITION               donner la taille de partition en blocs
[21:07] <Minty95>        fdisk -v                         afficher la version de fdisk
[21:07] <FloodBot1> Minty95: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:07] <ckyle> yo - my recycle bin icon has disappeared from my panel in hardy/gnome. dunno how. help me get it back? thx
[21:07] <Minty95> sorry
[21:07] <ShackJack> Hi - gnome-network-manager doesn't show WPA/WPA2 as option in the connection dialog and I have wpa_supplicant installed (and I can connect to open networks) - any ideas how I can make those option show?
[21:08] <darwins> anybody knows about issues for install ubuntu in a external HD USB?
[21:08] <ckyle> speedcore: use the umask command in terminal
[21:08] <Ad0> erUSUL: I can quit it fine 2-3 times, but then something decides just to launch the same proces 7-10 times
[21:08] <SebNaitsabes> !install
[21:08] <Ad0> on vdr-sxfe it spawned over 100 processes
[21:08] <Minty95> can u give me the fdick line so that I can copy it please
[21:08] <Ad0> really serious
[21:08] <ScheissDrogen> darwins: just make shure comp boots from usb
[21:08] <Ad0> it's impossible to find out *what* is respawning the procs
[21:08] <ShackJack> SebNaitsabes: When using ubotu - pleace a pipe then the person's handle - that way they'll be aleted to the post...
[21:08] <tabakhase> i give a try, brb *hope*
[21:09] <tabakhase> is there another way to check my system?
[21:09] <speedcore> ckyle: I edited .bash_profile  and added umask there. Is that correct. Do I need to restart anything?
[21:09] <juuu> lkåp
[21:09] <MPSimmons> logout
[21:09] <tabakhase> I'm searching for the source of my I/O Wait...
[21:09] <tabakhase> Sometimes I/O Wait at 100% and my system freezes...
[21:09] <MPSimmons> tabakhase, I don't know enough to really give you support, but you might check strace
[21:09] <tabakhase> But just the gui
[21:10] <Ad0> is there a process launcher that I can do --sm-disable on ?
[21:10] <gecko2000> i'm having sound issues, anyone able to help?
[21:10] <Minty95> MPSimmons: can you give me the fdisk line again please
[21:10] <erUSUL> Ad0: maybe you can know using pstree (launched programs will be children of the launching one)
[21:11] <tabakhase> MPSimmons: and strace what?
[21:12] <MPSimmons> whatever program seems to be giving you the problem
[21:12] <knaaa> hi... on question, i had once a clock that didnt really show the time, it always showed a time like "before midnight" "before morning" "noon"   .... i dont really remember the name ... does someone know the clock?
[21:12] <ckyle> speedcore: that will work fine. I don't know the exact correct way (i'm new) but i know the umask command is correct and using .bashrc is a good place to put setup stuff for when you use bash - so i think that should work fine - test it ok?
[21:12] <tabakhase> everything? @ MPSimmons
[21:12] <MPSimmons> fuzzy time or something?
[21:13] <ckyle> gecko2000 - just ask
[21:13] <tabakhase> My whle gui (gnome) freezes, but i can still tip and do what i want
[21:13] <tabakhase> just the display freezes
[21:13] <MPSimmons> that's interesting
[21:13] <tabakhase> and the time
[21:13] <tabakhase> sometimes
[21:13] <knaaa> ok
[21:13] <gecko2000> i have no sound at all and have no idea how to fix it. worked fine lastnight.
[21:14]  * tabakhase can stop the time!

[21:37] <jasher> no one is in crossover..
[21:37] <soundray> lyk3n: please use my nick so I don't miss your reply. Can you ping one machine from the other?
[21:37] <ckyle> is there a system call or glibc call for showing what type of file system (ext3, reiserFS) a file exists on. When I use stat() it give me device and inode, but i'd like to walk back to file system type. Tips?
[21:37] <gecko2000> Jordan_U: IXP
[21:38] <lyk3n> soundray i have a switch and wlan on the same network
[21:38] <soundray> lyk3n: pCan you ping one machine from the other?
[21:38] <Moleprince> Howdy, my system log is spammed with messages like rt_ioctl_giwscan. 8(8) BSS returned, data->length = 885
[21:38] <filius> for example, i have the burn effects for close windows
[21:38] <Moleprince> What does this mean please?
[21:38] <gecko2000> erUSUL: sorry, almost forgot about you.. Jordan_U is helping me out, thank you for your time though. Much apreciated
[21:38] <soundray> filius: do what ubottu said ^^
[21:38] <ConstyXIV> lyk3n: if they're both connected to the network, type ping (othermachine) on one machine in a console
[21:39] <m1dn1ght> filius: do you know how to install new packages?
[21:39] <lyk3n> soundray: i don't know the other computers ip amatuer at linux
[21:39] <thunderdan> soundray: ok i'm back. here is the url: http://paste.ubuntu.com/45498/
[21:39] <lyk3n> soundray: is the command ifconfig
[21:39] <adr3nalin3_> anybody seen a solution to this -->  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=503872 problem?  I have almost the exact same machine and every time I try to install the partioner stops @ 33%.  I also have The LSI1068e RAID controller.
[21:39] <ConstyXIV> lyk3n: you dont need the ip, just the name
[21:39] <cheeky> erUSUL: is that right possibel with that PATH variable?
[21:39] <Jordan_U> ConstyXIV: That's probably the easiest way, there are .debs available for ath9k but they were made because people's hardware wasn't supported by madwifi but was by ath9k, so there is a chance debs for ath5k are available somewhere too but I doubt it
[21:39] <soundray> lyk3n: yes
[21:40] <gecko2000> Jordan_U: it give me the one options wich is IXP
[21:40] <Jordan_U> gecko2000: running "asoundconf set-default-card IXP" should get your sound working again then
[21:40] <erUSUL> cheeky: you do not have to use the path variable the shell does use it not you
[21:40] <Stanton> can anyone help me with ubuntu 8.04 locking up? with a fresh install?
[21:41] <ConstyXIV> Stanton: using wifi?
[21:41] <Jordan_U> gecko2000: I thought at first that you were just using an emoticon that I just hadn't seen before :)
[21:41] <lyk3n> soundray: unknown host
[21:41] <cheeky> erUSUL: ok .. just tryng to unserstand how the system
[21:41] <Stanton> ConstyXIV, yes.
[21:41] <soundray> thunderdan: interesting -- so you tried with ndiswrapper and it crashes badly
[21:41] <gecko2000> Jordan_U: lol :)
[21:41] <soundray> lyk3n: please talk to me in full sentences
[21:41] <Stanton> ConstyXIV, on my old install before i had to reinstall due to gfx being missed up. it worked fine
[21:41] <ConstyXIV> Stanton: do the lockups typically occur once you start hammering the network?
[21:41] <erUSUL> cheeky: you can modify it to suit your needs just that
[21:41] <gecko2000> Jordan_U: so i should reboot my computer then?
[21:41] <thunderdan> soundray: yes, but i'm not sure i'm using ndiswrapper correctly. i'm pretty inexperienced with linux.
[21:42] <c0mp13371331337> Does anyone know where I can get a clean list of the files located in /var/lib/gconf/defaults?
[21:42] <lyk3n> soundray: i received the message unknown host "with my hostname"
[21:42] <Stanton> ConstyXIV, not that i have noticed.... it was locking up while trying to manualy installl ndiswrapper... with out internet connection
[21:42] <cheeky> erUSUL: .. ok .. ty
[21:42] <soundray> lyk3n: try with the IP then.
[21:42] <ConstyXIV> Stanton: oh.  thought it was the same thing that was locking up my machine
[21:42] <lyk3n> soundray: what is the terminal command
[21:43] <soundray> thunderdan: have you followed a guide?
[21:43] <Stanton> ConstyXIV, not only that but my gfx still aint fixed.....
[21:43] <soundray> lyk3n: what you said, ifconfig
[21:43] <ckyle> whats the channel for asking about glibc calls and system calls, sockets api, etc?
[21:43] <Stanton> ConstyXIV, every time i try enabling the nvidia drivers it goes into low gfx mode.. "safe mode"
[21:44] <soundray> lyk3n: it's called inet addr in that command's output
[21:44] <c_lisp> how can I print a list of files in the terminal and the full path even though im in the current directory
[21:44] <fdgfdg> hi im about to install ubutu . I already have dual boot xp and debian. When i go to install ubuntu i have two ntfs partitions and one ext3 partition. the ntfs is windows ?
[21:44] <Stanton> ConstyXIV, it might be my wifi locking my system but i aint sure. i cant download update for when i get download done and it starts installing it locks up
[21:44] <Stanton> ConstyXIV, some times in mid download
[21:45] <thunderdan> soundray: i followed a guide and got to the point where i choose system > administration > windows wireless drivers. then i tried getting the inf files from the cd included with the dongle, at which point the computer froze.
[21:45] <ConstyXIV> Stanton: over wifi, or over wire?
[21:45] <soundray> c_lisp: find $PWD -maxdepth 1
[21:45] <Stanton> ConstyXIV, i can only use wifi.
[21:45] <Moleprince> Howdy, my system log is spammed with messages like rt_ioctl_giwscan. 8(8) BSS returned, data->length = 885  Does anyone know what this means please?  It's veyr noisy in my logs.
[21:45] <Stanton> ConstyXIV, i am using linksys usb adaptor if that matters
[21:45] <soundray> thunderdan: are you on a 64bit system?
[21:46] <lyk3n> soundray: nothing is happening in the terminal just a blinking cursor
[21:46] <thunderdan> soundray: the laptop is a celeron m processor and i have the i386 version of ubuntu installed.
[21:46] <ConstyXIV> Stanton: model #?
[21:46] <Gecko2000> Jordan_U: it didn't work, no sound still
[21:47] <soundray> lyk3n: hit Ctrl-C to get back to the $ prompt
[21:47] <c_lisp> I still get only ./file name but not the full path to the file name
[21:47] <soundray> c_lisp: are you replying to me?
[21:47] <c_lisp> yes sorry
[21:47] <Stanton> ConstyXIV, wusb54gsc
[21:47] <arnell> I created a tar of my entire root directory, In a catastrophic situation is it possible to recover my OS with that tar file?
[21:47] <soundray> c_lisp: are you entering the command literally, as I gave it to you?
[21:47] <fdgfdg> so if I have two ntfs partitions and one ext3 partition the ntfs is windows ?
[21:48] <filius> well, i am going to my house
[21:48] <lyk3n> soundray: i have 100% packet loss 84 packets sent
[21:48] <c_lisp> yes just command line not script
[21:48] <Stanton> ConstyXIV, heh after i fix lockups i might be able to fix my gfx issues.
[21:48] <soundray> lyk3n: then your LAN isn't working
[21:48] <ScheissDrogen>  fdgfdg: prbly
[21:48] <felix-da-catz> So how can I change my path permanently in ubuntu?
[21:49] <ag99> I just installed unbuntu 8.04, and can't get networking working with a cable modem and 4 port hub.  anyone know how to get it working?
[21:49] <soundray> thunderdan: not sure what to suggest -- perhaps it'll work with an updated XP driver from the manufacturers web site?
[21:49] <fdgfdg> yeah i reckon it is because this is a sony laptop and keeps aside two partitions one for windows and its back up. the ext3 is for debian
[21:49] <thunderdan> soundray: i will try that next. thank you.
[21:49] <lyk3n> soundray: is there another way to access one hardy's installations shared files ,through a browser maybe
[21:49] <soundray> thunderdan: did you blacklist anything as you followed the ndiswrapper guide?
[21:49] <thunderdan> soundray: no
[21:49] <felix-da-catz> ag99:  Well, there is a lot to that question.  Is the cable modem plugged into the hub or directly to the ubuntu machine?  The cable modem will only give one machine an ip address.
[21:50] <thunderdan> !blacklist
[21:50] <soundray> lyk3n: not if you don't have a network connection between the two machines.
[21:50] <Edel_RSX> Does anyone know how to specify to network manager which location to load at boot?
[21:50] <Jordan_U> Gecko2000: Same error from alsamixer?
[21:50] <ConstyXIV> Stanton: I think you have a Ralink based stick, which is probably causing the lockups
[21:50] <ConstyXIV> Stanton:
[21:50] <Gecko2000> Jordan_U: oh.. didn't check it.. just a sec..
[21:50] <ConstyXIV> Stanton: you cant use a wired network at all?
[21:50] <soundray> thunderdan: if the worst comes to the worst, get another USB adapter. Zydas devices work well and are often cheap
[21:51] <ag99> felix: I have the cable modem plugged into the hub, then 2 computers into the hub
[21:51] <Stanton> ConstyXIV, if i recall it starts with b. kinda like breadcom..
[21:51] <Stanton> ConstyXIV, nope
[21:51] <Jordan_U> Edel_RSX: That feature is not available in hardy's version of nm, it will be available in the next version of Ubuntu though
[21:51] <thunderdan> soundray: i think that is what will have to be done. thanks again.
[21:51] <r_bender> I just installed ubuntu, and am running on old dell: 256mb ram.  It's slow.  How much ram should I be looking at
[21:51] <ConstyXIV> Stanton: okay, tell me the filename of the driver you're trying to use with ndiswrapper
[21:51] <felix-da-catz> ag99:  You need to have two nics in one machine.  And use it as the firewall (nat).  The plug the other nic in the firewall machine into the hub as well as the second computer.  Then you either need to setup static ip addresses or DHCP server on the NAT machine.
[21:51] <Stanton> ConstyXIV, like i said though i had an install of same ubuntu but had mayjor gfx issues so i removed it and reinstalled.
[21:51] <Edel_RSX> Jordan_U: so is there anyway I can get a DNS search path added to my resolv.conf everytime and not get overwritten?
[21:52] <ConstyXIV> Stanton: it'll be *SOMETHING*.inf
[21:52] <soundray> c_lisp: if you enter    find $PWD -maxdepth 1   it will list the full path, not ./...
[21:52] <Gecko2000> Jordan_U: yes, same problem "no such device"
[21:52] <lyk3n> soundray: how can i connect the two computers .i just need one pc as a server but i don't know any server side scripting or ubuntu networking
[21:52] <Stanton> ConstyXIV, um what sec
[21:52] <soundray> lyk3n: do you have a router on the network?
[21:52] <Moleprince> Edel_RSX: Do you mean like assign in /etc/network/interfaces which ESSID to associate with by default, or?
[21:52] <lyk3n> soundray: yes
[21:52] <Marc> Does anybody know how to sort installed packages by time of installation?
[21:52] <soundray> lyk3n: do you know the router's IP address?
[21:53] <lyk3n> soundray: yes
[21:53] <ag99> felix: ok thanks.  I will try it out.
[21:53] <Edel_RSX> Moleprince: no; just need to get append an entry to the search path every time so that it searches my lab network which I'm never a 'member' of
[21:53] <sstringham> marc: rpm -qi | awk '{crazy awk script}'
[21:53] <felix-da-catz> ag99:  Sure, otherwise you need a router of some sort.  That would be the easiest way of setting it up.  Not necessarily the cheapest though.
[21:53] <Stanton> ConstyXIV, WUSB54GSC.inf
[21:53] <Moleprince> Edel_RSX: Can't you add another line in /etc/resolv.conf for that?
[21:53] <Marc> sstringham: thanks.
[21:54] <Jordan_U> lyk3n: Just install a DHCP server on the box that you want to be the server and connect the two via ethernet
[21:54] <Edel_RSX> Moleprince: no; because it gets overwritten everytime Network Manager does anything
[21:54] <Stanton> ConstyXIV, oh i think i just remmebered my prob.. i used the .dll files from my vista install and the .inf was for xp.. could this cuase lockups?
[21:54] <Moleprince> Edel_RSX: Ah, got it.. in cases like that I tend to make a shell script to fix it for different locations. :)
[21:54] <guntbert> sstringham: rpm in ubuntu?
[21:54] <Edel_RSX> Moleprince: I don't need it different for different locations; I need it always
[21:55] <lyk3n> Jordan_U: how would you secure something like that
[21:55] <ScheissDrogen>  guntbert: sstringham: rpm in ubuntu? see !alien
[21:55] <ScheissDrogen> !alien
[21:55] <Edel_RSX> Moleprince: it doesn't hurt me if it tries to search and can't find anything
[21:55] <Jordan_U> Stanton: Trying to get a broadcom card working? Have you tried system -> administration -> Hardware or b43-fwcutter ?
[21:55] <Winston_SmithVTT> Does anyone know anything about the Linuxant drivers? I seem to be having a problem with my connection randomly dropping. If I try to redial it indicates the modem is not responding.
[21:55] <ag99> felix-da-catz: I have an extra nic.  I am a novice at networking though.  I'll go get it and install it.
[21:55] <Stanton> Jordan_U, its an usb adaptor.
[21:56] <soundray> lyk3n: can you ping the router's IP from both Ubuntu machines?
[21:56] <Moleprince> Edel_RSX: I reckon you could do something with the interfaces ifup or post commands to run a script to append the search line after association.
[21:56] <Marc> rpm cannot query packages installed with apt. Any other ideas?
[21:56] <Edel_RSX> Moleprince: so basically whether I get an address at X.com (office) or Y.com (home) or whatever else, I always want test.X.com searched... yeah I found a way to get it done for the vpn client easily enough
[21:56] <felix-da-catz> ag99:  I will be around for another hour.  cables modes will only give out one ip address though.
[21:57] <Jordan_U> Marc: rpm ?
[21:57] <Jordan_U> Marc: Debian / Ubuntu use dpkg
[21:57] <Moleprince> Edel_RSX: That sounds an awful lot like my situation.  I keep most of my servers at home and VPN into them when I'm out.  Still haven't nailed down resolving internal hostnames yet.
[21:57] <Stanton> ConstyXIV, think my lockups would stop if i reinstall the drivers but using WUSB54GSCvis? seeing how my dll files are from my vista install?
[21:58] <ag99> felix-da-catz: both systems can use the same ip for internet access?
[21:58] <Marc> Jordan_L: yes but how? I'm looking for a way to sort packages by installation time
[21:58] <g[r]eek> Hi I am having the strangest problem. Any media, be it sound or video, is playing back _very_ slowly all of a sudden.
[21:58] <g[r]eek> I've opened up system monitor, my CPU and memory are hardly being used.
[21:58] <Jordan_U> Stanton: I am pretty sure that you'll need ndiswrapper then, for future purchases stick with real PCI cards, they are much better supported and don't eat up CPU / hog a port like USB adapters :)
[21:59] <cads> is there a profile launcher for gnome terminal, like what is available for konsole?
[21:59] <Edel_RSX> Moleprince: basically I'm at company X, and we have all of the test machines  that they use for "real activity" on their own subnet
[21:59] <lyk3n> soundray: could you do the same with a network switch ,i just saw the net connections are both attached to a switch then a spare ethernet connection is set up for the wireless router
[21:59] <Stanton> Jordan_U, it runs perfectly on my windows install... and it use to work perfectly for ubuntu.
[21:59] <Edel_RSX> Moleprince: so I'm never a member of that domain but I ssh into it constantly
[21:59] <Stanton> Jordan_U, it stoped working after i had to remove ubuntu and install it again.
[22:00] <mydoghasworms> Of Canon, HP and Samsung printers, which are best supported in Linux?
[22:00] <Moleprince> Edel_RSX: I grok.  I've been fiddling with openvpn for a while now trying to get my VPN subnet to resolve hostnames on my internal LAN, much like your setup.
[22:00] <Edel_RSX> Moleprince: aliases could work but its not a good general solution
[22:00] <cads> I'd like an an icon on the panel to click and view a list of my shell profiles, is this possible with existing applets?
[22:00] <soundray> lyk3n: if you don't have a router on the wired LAN, you will have to configure your wired interfaces manually to have static IP addresses
[22:00] <fdgfdg> if i am already dual booting with debian and xp and then clean ou the debian partition and install ubuntu in its place with their be problems with the bootloader ?
[22:00] <Edel_RSX> Moleprince: We have the at&t client thrusted down our throats
[22:00] <Edel_RSX> wasn't hard to fix that one :-)
[22:00] <felix-da-catz> ag99:  No, only one machine can have a public IP address through the cable modem
[22:01] <mm_> ciao
[22:01] <Gecko2000> erUSUL: what was it that you had wanted me to try??? Jordan_U's way didnt work :(
[22:01] <Moleprince> Edel_RSX: Guh, tell me about it.  I just kludged that together to run on my Ubuntu 64 box the other day for work.
[22:01] <Edel_RSX> Moleprince: never had this problem before on any other distro version in the past 4-5 years
[22:01] <soundray> lyk3n: if you're working via the wireless interfaces, your router should have assigned IP addresses to the hardy machines.
[22:01] <felix-da-catz> ag99:  That is what NAT does though.  Is allows you to share that one public ip address through private addressing.
[22:01] <x_> Hi
[22:01] <Stanton> Jordan_U, and only reason i did that is i could not get 3d gfx in ubuntu with my 8600 gt.. and even with a fresh install using the device drivers or w/e dont work they go to low gfx mode... every time i turn 3d on... and i have had an headache over this for over 2 weeks.
[22:01] <x_> I'm trying to access my ntfs volume but I can't
[22:01] <x_> I'm getting a hal-storage error
[22:01] <x_> how do I get this fixed?
[22:01] <Moleprince> Edel_RSX: Wait, are you saying you managed to get a different VPN client working for you instead of the ATT one?  Because that would rock.
[22:01] <Stanton> x_ did you try forcing the mount?
[22:01] <x_> Something like this
[22:01] <x_> hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000
[22:01] <felix-da-catz> ag99:  So the cable modem connects directly to one machine and one nic.  Then that same machine through the second nic connects to the HUB with  the other machiens on your network.
[22:01] <mm_> How remove firefox?
[22:02] <Edel_RSX> Moleprince: no I got the ATT one to work properly for me
[22:02] <x_> Stanton, no
[22:02] <Stanton> x_ thats what i had to do.. i dont remember the commands off hand though
[22:02] <x_> Stanton, Is there a way to fix this so I can get it running automatically?
[22:02] <grishnak> Hello
[22:02] <Goosemoose> anyone see something wrong with this that would cause it to fail with 127 error : d-i preseed/late_command string wget http://<IP_ADDRESS>/post_install_tasks && chmod +x ./post_install_tasks && ./post_install_tasks
[22:02] <felix-da-catz> ag99:  I havent tried this, but here is a HOWTO:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=713874
[22:02] <x_> mount /dev/sdb1 -t ntfs
[22:02] <ag99> felix-da-catz: ok I think I get it.
[22:02] <Edel_RSX> Moleprince: want me to find the file I edited to get that setting to stay?
[22:02] <mohshami> hey guys, we are planing on switching away from windows at the office, I'm in charge of the project and planing to use ubuntu for the desktops, does anybody know of a tool to allow me to manage updates and patches?
[22:02] <Stanton> x_ if i recall forcing a mount does so...
[22:02] <grishnak> Can anyone point me in the direction of a good Irc client for ubuntu?
[22:02] <grishnak> I need to be able to join a diff network and stuff
[22:02] <grishnak> kind of like mirc
[22:03] <Stanton> x_ some where in there should be -f if i recall
[22:03] <soundray> mm_: why do you want to remove firefox? It's a more or less essential part of an Ubuntu desktop
[22:03] <mohshami> grishnak: what about xchat?
[22:03] <Moleprince> Edel_RSX: Yes please, feel free to PM me it.  I'm at work so may get lost otherwise.
[22:03] <Wile> Hello,  How can I select the audio device used by default by Pulseaudio ?
[22:03] <grishnak> this is xchat
[22:03] <Jordan_U> Goosemoose: Does the command string get passed to a shell?
[22:03] <felix-da-catz> ag99:  NAT came about to solve the whole were running out of IP addresses problem.  Quite a history to it.
[22:03] <grishnak> I cant figure out how to change networks though
[22:03] <ScheissDrogen>  grishnak: i like pidgin
[22:03] <Goosemoose> Jordan_U, yes it's supposed to
[22:03] <farmakotriftis> buntu-gr
[22:04] <lyk3n> soundray: i usually run one machine off the switched network,then i'll have another machine on with the wireless in the next room.I was hoping i could have the shared files accessed like that.is it possible
[22:04] <mohshami> grishnak: ^+T
[22:04] <ScheissDrogen> Wile: asoundconf-gtk
[22:04] <soundray> lyk3n: yes, it should be possible, but you have to find a setup where you can ping one machine from the other
[22:04] <grishnak> Thanks.
[22:04] <mohshami> any time
[22:05] <Gecko2000> Jordan_U: so it gave me the same error message.. any other ideas??
[22:05] <lyk3n> soundray: ok
[22:05] <Stanton> x_ did you do this? "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 -t ntfs"
[22:06] <Marc> In case anybody is interested: Synaptic File/History shows what I was looking for. Now just need a find a way to get that info thru dpkg
[22:06] <soundray> Stanton: that's missing a mountpoint
[22:07] <Stanton> eh ty soundray
[22:07] <[[thufir]]> do I install tomcat through synaptic?  I'm not finding it
[22:07] <Stanton> x_ sudo mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/scd0 -t (vfat, ntfs-3g) but with your sdb1 if thats the drive.
[22:07] <Marc> Bye guys.
[22:08] <Edel_RSX> felix-da-catz: and here I thought NAT came about to solve the problem of being able to address individual machines behind a firewall :-)
[22:09] <lyk3n> soundray: would it be easier to use a vnc for this setup
[22:09] <tabakhase> Sep 10 23:06:26 LaptopHase kernel: [17182075.472000] hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }

[22:09] <tabakhase> again and again =(
[22:09] <soundray> lyk3n: it's pointless while you don't have a working network connection between the machines
[22:09] <danbhfive> Edel_RSX: yeah, I thought what you are thinking.  Isn't IPv6 the solution to running out of ipaddresses?
[22:09] <Stanton> well i gtg
[22:10] <ayilmaz> my wireless card stopped working.. either i did something wrong OR it died. Is there a tool to test wireless card thoroughly?
[22:10] <danbhfive> Edel_RSX: wait, NAT IS a solution to having only one allocated IP address, and needing multiple computers, so, nevermind
[22:10] <keevie> msg nickserv identify Daniel121315891240
[22:10] <ScheissDrogen>  ayilmaz: listet by lspci ? ifconfig says ?
[22:11] <soundray> lyk3n: it's like asking "will a red telephone work instead of the white one" when your house isn't connected to a landline
[22:11] <danbhfive> keevie: time to change that password
[22:11] <keevie> yeah
[22:11] <keevie> ooopss// // /
[22:11] <keevie> lol
[22:11] <ayilmaz> ScheissDrogen: listed and ifconfig says it's eth1.. but it does not see networks..
[22:11] <mohshami> :D
[22:11] <Moleprince> Hello, in Ubuntu HAL doesn't automount my SD card because I must be superuser.  Is there a way around this please other than manually mounting it or change fstab please?
[22:12] <lyk3n_> soundray: i had to reconnect are you here
[22:12] <jesepe> what's the keystroke to lock the screen in 8.04?
[22:12] <soundray> lyk3n_: yes
[22:12] <ScheissDrogen>  ayilmaz: so its not dead at least, sry I'm busy see :
[22:12] <ScheissDrogen> !wireless
[22:12] <MrBrooks> i dont like when im away and my screen gets locked. how can i remove it?
[22:12] <lyk3n_> soundray: would it be easier with a vnc or a remote viewer from the synaptic
[22:13] <soundray> lyk3n: it's pointless while you don't have a working network connection between the machines
[22:13] <soundray> lyk3n: it's like asking "will a red telephone work instead of the white one" when your house isn't connected to a landline
[22:13] <ayilmaz> ScheissDrogen: I spent 4 hours yesterday.. before spending more, i want to make sure if the card is intact
[22:13] <danbhfive> Moleprince: fstab IS the way to do it, I think.  Why don't you want to use fstab?
[22:13] <soundray> MrBrooks: System-Preferences-Screensaver. Untick the "Lock..." box
[22:14] <NoMax_> Hello anyone know of a USB wifi that will work in adhoc mode?
[22:14] <ScheissDrogen>  ayilmaz: only card ?
[22:14] <Edel_RSX> danbhfive: I'm going to disagree there is a fundamental difference
[22:14] <Moleprince> danbhfive: Because I have half a dozen SD cards and I don't want to have to define an entry for each one.  USB automounts fine without superuser.
[22:14] <MrBrooks> soundray: thx!
[22:14] <Edel_RSX> danbhfive: with nat noone outside knows that there are multiple users behind it
[22:15] <ayilmaz> ScheissDrogen: yes, I want to test the card only. Right now, I'm using ethernet.. so, other things should be okay
