[12:22] <Kato_von_Spee> nVidia GF 7600 GT
[12:22] <S_> Kato , try installing ubuntu *the evil distro* :P , as it asks you to show the light if you accepted to make it take over your harddisk xD
[12:22] <Jack_Sparrow> S_: You have spent some time in Linux, I hope you try out Ubuntu 32 and make this your new home
[12:22] <IndyGunFreak> Kato_von_Spee: you should get it working fairly easily with that card.

[12:23] <IndyGunFreak> Kato_von_Spee: does restricted driver manager(System/Admin/Restricted driver) show the Nvidia driver is already enabled?
[12:23]  * S_ hopes that ubuntu developers havnet heard that or a nice kick/ban will be arrived to him
[12:24] <Voyage_> k
[12:24] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[12:24] <Kato_von_Spee> IndyGunFreak: So just x-reboot?
[12:24] <IndyGunFreak> S_: why don't you just try 32bit?  or try a Straight Debian install.
[12:24] <IndyGunFreak> Kato_von_Spee: you can try.
[12:25] <IndyGunFreak> i don't think that will work, but who knows.

[12:30] <Dotinfo> hi
[12:30] <IndyGunFreak> hope it wasn't anyone here
[12:30] <omar> Jack_Sparraw: Oh yeah, lol! No problem. :) It's not a problem to me, it's experience! :D
[12:30] <Jack_Sparrow> omar: Very sorry to hear that.. I wish there was something we could do to help.
[12:30] <Dotinfo> is it possible to prepare ubuntu certification via internet ?
[12:30] <Jack_Sparrow> omar: May I suggest one thing..
[12:31] <S_> omar , you could recover your files
[12:31] <omar> Jack_Sparraw: Go ahead
[12:31] <titon_> thx IndyGunFreak gonna give it a try
[12:31] <Jack_Sparrow> omar: This time create a seperate home partition
[12:31] <Dotinfo> hello
[12:31] <Hechicera1973> i enabled 4 desktops; but can't set differents backgrounds on them. I change one... the others change the same. Another thing; can't enable the 3d cube. I went to the Advanced desktop settings and mark it, but the best i can do is switch between desktops (you can see the animated rotation) but no a 3d cube. I will appreciate any help.
[12:31] <IndyGunFreak> titon_: its pretty easy if you have Nvidia, i set it u pretty easily anyways
[12:31] <Dotinfo> no one help here ?
[12:31] <S_> their was a program i used it in past (2-3 years back) , you would have to put it into floppy then rebooting your system , it supports ext3
[12:31] <Jack_Sparrow> omar: / for the os and /home for your stuff
[12:31] <S_> itts would be able to recover your files
[12:32] <omar> Jack_Sparraw: Yes exactly. :)
[12:32] <omar> Jack_Sparraw: Thanks man! :)
[12:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Hechicera1973:  install ccsm  and you can put different wallpaper on each side, but you lose the icons on the desktop
[12:32] <Jack_Sparrow> omar: np
[12:32] <IndyGunFreak> omar: i'll give my advice, but Jack_Sparrow is leading you in the right direction, when getting advice on the internet, remember what Ronald Reagan said, "Trust but verify"
[12:33] <Hechicera1973> ok... how do i do that? i'm newbie!

[13:03] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[13:03] <emitchlpd> hello
[13:03] <Jo71n_7_8471n> IndyGunFreak: this is what aptitude says:  Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
[13:03] <Jo71n_7_8471n>  reinstall it before attempting a removal.
[13:04] <Jo71n_7_8471n> IndyGunFreak: is possible to force it to remove opera?
[13:04] <GreenByte> !botsnack
[13:04] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[13:04] <IndyGunFreak> Jo71n_7_8471n: hmm, maybe with purge, but i really don't know.
[13:04] <IndyGunFreak> Jo71n_7_8471n: have you tried removing it in safe mode?
[13:05] <Jo71n_7_8471n> IndyGunFreak: how to access into safe mode ?
[13:05] <Jack_Sparrow> IndyGunFreak: I think aptitude is only seeing fragments because it was not a normal package install
[13:05] <IndyGunFreak> Jo71n_7_8471n: well, i meant recovery mode, not safe mode... have you tried removing it in recovery mode.
[13:06] <Jo71n_7_8471n> IndyGunFreak: no. where is that mode?
[13:06] <IndyGunFreak> Jack_Sparrow: it would appear so, i've never had a prob like that, i must be really lucky, i never have a lot of problems people have in here..lol
[13:06] <IndyGunFreak> Jo71n_7_8471n: you have to select it from your grub menu when you start your pc.
[13:06] <IndyGunFreak> Jo71n_7_8471n: should be the second option
[13:06] <fyrestrtr> Jo71n_7_8471n: sudo apt-get remove --purge opera
[13:06] <IndyGunFreak> fyrestrtr: i don't think thats gonna work.
[13:06] <sweeties> quit
[13:07] <IndyGunFreak> i guess he didn't stick around to find out..loo
[13:07] <Jack_Sparrow> IndyGunFreak: That is how you would normally purge it...
[13:07] <edju> Trying to install proprietary print drivers.  Installer says I need gtk and gdk, without further ids.  Exactly what do I install?
[13:07] <Jamesinator> Whenever I launch an app in GNOME, it appears underneath the top menu bar, and I have to move it before I can use the menu. How can I fix this?
[13:08] <IndyGunFreak> Jack_Sparrow: yeah, but when he tries to remove it, which is what its going to do first, he gets that error saying it should be reinstalled, prior to removing.
[13:08] <Jack_Sparrow> IndyGunFreak: LEt me look up something brb

[13:12] <S_> what it is?
[13:12] <S_> wrong window ;)
[13:12] <S_> sorry
[13:12] <Faust-C> im having problems trying to connect to my ssh server
[13:13] <Faust-C> i have it configured to use ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
[13:13] <Faust-C> but when i do
[13:13] <emitchlpd> check permissions?
[13:13] <emitchlpd> Faust-C: ^
[13:13] <Faust-C> emitchlpd: as in
[13:13] <|katana|> heya.. gotta question: when making partitions: is is good to have 1 primary partitions and all the rest 'logical'?
[13:14] <shaz> hello :)
[13:14] <|katana|> cuz in a manual they say only 1 primary partition can be active on the same time..
[13:14] <sedra> hi
[13:14] <oldred> hi
[13:14] <emitchlpd> lots of time that's the problem, your id_rsa or id_dsa has to be readable only by you, or something like that
[13:14] <Dr_willis> I normally use all primary partitions.
[13:14] <Faust-C> emitchlpd: oic
[13:14] <emitchlpd> google it
[13:14] <|katana|> but you only can have 4 primary partitions, right?
[13:14] <Dr_willis> not sure what 'active' really means. :)
[13:14] <emitchlpd> you'll find an accurate explanation
[13:14] <oldred> somebody can help me ?
[13:14] <oldred> I can`t see my others partition
[13:14] <Faust-C> ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[13:14] <Faust-C> Permission denied (publickey).
[13:14] <Dr_willis> yep - only 4 primaries.. but ive never needed more then 4
[13:14] <Faust-C> is the error
[13:15] <emitchlpd> ok
[13:15] <sedra> unmounted!
[13:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Jo71n_7_8471n: There is an apt-get  --force-yes   but it could break your system
[13:15] <emitchlpd> either the keys don't match
[13:15] <oldred> just c:
[13:15] <emitchlpd> which is possible
[13:15] <emitchlpd> not that they'd match
[13:15] <Frogzoo> |katana|: best is usually 3 primary partitions (the max) and one extended containing several logical partition
[13:15] <Faust-C> emitchlpd: well they are the same keys, hmm
[13:15] <emitchlpd> but they'd go together -- your private key and the public key
[13:15] <pajamian> |katana|: you can only have 4 primary partitions, yes, but if you want logical partitions then you have to sacrifice one of the 4 primaries for it.  So it's not recommended that you use up all your primaries because you will be unable to create logical partitions, then.
[13:15] <Jamesinator> Whenever I launch an app in GNOME, it appears underneath the top menu bar, and I have to move it before I can use the menu. How can I fix this?
[13:15] <Frogzoo> Dr_willis: oh you can if you try
[13:15] <sedra> kernel panic when i add ati poor driver
[13:15] <|katana|> Dr_willis: but you can't see your other partitions right?
[13:15] <emitchlpd> have you used this keypair on other machines?
[13:16] <Dr_willis> |katana|,  see? of course i can see them. Just fine..
[13:16] <Faust-C> emitchlpd: i use it on MS w/ putty+pageant and it works fine
[13:16] <printer_not_list> Hi, I'm having trouble installing a printer not listed in the 'add printer' - the drivers are installed in synaptic. What can I do? I'm running ubuntu 7.10.. the printer is shared on a pc running windows xp.
[13:16] <Faust-C> emitchlpd: btw these keys have passwd
[13:16] <Dr_willis> |katana|,  im not really clear on what 'active' actually means.. unless its the same as the bootable flag.
[13:16] <emitchlpd> ok
[13:16] <emitchlpd> putty uses a keyfile that's based on your key
[13:16] <emitchlpd> wait
[13:16] <sedra> active = bootable
[13:16] <emitchlpd> you're using putty now, too?
[13:16] <Faust-C> emitchlpd: no
[13:16] <emitchlpd> or are you using ssh on the command line
[13:16] <emitchlpd> ok
[13:16] <sedra> right?
[13:17] <Faust-C> emitchlpd: ssh via cmd line
[13:17] <emitchlpd> so your ~/.ssh/id_rsa file is formatted differently from what putty uses
[13:17] <pajamian> sedra: the bootable flag is really for windows, I'm not even sure that Linux uses it (though I do set it for my /boot partition).
[13:17] <emitchlpd> or, it must be, rather
[13:17] <Faust-C> emitchlpd: ah hell
[13:17] <emitchlpd> so if you're using the same file in both cases, that's why it's not working
[13:17] <Faust-C> emitchlpd: i didnt think about that
[13:17] <emitchlpd> putty has a keygen program
[13:18] <pawan> hi
[13:18] <Jo71n_7_8471n> Jack_Sparrow --force-yes return the same error
[13:18] <printer_not_list> hello
[13:18] <Faust-C> emitchlpd: lol yeah i was using that, ill have to boot to MS to get the keys
[13:18] <emitchlpd> which will translate one version of your private key to the other
[13:18] <Man_of_Wax> hi all... any ideas? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=691151
[13:18] <|katana|> Dr_willis: I see there's some confusion, that's my mistake I guess.. With active I meant that windows can't 'see' the other partitions.. But I can see that's only a historical issue..
[13:18] <emitchlpd> http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
[13:19] <emitchlpd> I'm pretty sure you can derive your openssh private key from your putty private key with the puttygen program
[13:19] <Faust-C> emitchlpd: ty for clearing my confusion
[13:19] <emitchlpd> np
[13:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Jo71n_7_8471n: I cant help with that... You may look to see if there is an Opera channel
[13:19] <Dr_willis> |katana|,  windows dosent really need to see the linux partitiosn. :) but it can with that ext2 fs thing for windows.
[13:20] <|katana|> yeah, but I needed that to set up my partitions..
[13:20] <|katana|> Now i've done 1 primary and 4 logical ones
[13:20] <|katana|> and if I'm correct, the 4 logical partitions are grouped in 1 extended partition, right?
[13:21] <speart> yeah
[13:25] <pocketdrummer> Does anyone know of a program that searches for songs online that isn't P2P based?
[13:25] <speart> all your logical partitions are in the extended one
[13:25] <speart> like itunes?
[13:25] <pocketdrummer> more like Songbird
[13:25] <ircleuser> Hi could someone help me with ubuntu
[13:26] <speart> try amarok
[13:26] <speart> yeah

[13:26] <speart> version 1.4.7

[13:27] <pawan> hi
[13:28] <ircleuser> i am a newbie on ubuntu and i tried an article to transform the menu bar to a mac menu bar once i restarted i have now no menu bar and i cant do anything apart from press f2 to get help

[13:28] <speart> pocketdrummer: you have the magnatune.com at amarok
[13:28] <jessid> hello. Some one could please tell me what do I need to install a mail server in my pc??? I have already installed horde. Thanks
[13:28] <pocketdrummer> Hmm, it looks like songbird does work for linux after all. Anything not add/remove programs or synaptic makes me nervous though. This is the first time in about 30 installs that this OS hasn't tanked.

[13:35] <pawan> but i want to open the partially completed files
[13:36] <IndyGunFreak> grndslm: he's talking about when he plays files from within azeurus..
[13:36] <pawan> as my download speed is less
[13:36] <grndslm> eww...
[13:36] <emitchlpd> IndyGunFreak: what happens when something else depends on said package -- is apt going to clobber my compiled version?
[13:36] <grndslm> i don't like azeurus, so...
[13:36] <pawan> and it will take days to completed the download so open partially completed files
[13:36] <IndyGunFreak> emitchlpd: that i don't know.. what are you wanting to compile?

[13:45] <xored> Jack_Sparrow: that was not the answer of my question :)
[13:45] <Jack_Sparrow> xored: Your question was not clear to me..
[13:46] <ircleuser> jack sparr: thank you i wull try now
[13:46] <Jack_Sparrow> ok
[13:46] <xored> Jack_Sparrow: how can i allow "su root" under ubuntu
[13:46] <xored> Jack_Sparrow: sorry, allow : "make it possible to login"
[13:46] <micheal> you need to setup a root passwd
[13:46] <xored> micheal: ah ok
[13:46] <Jack_Sparrow> xored: WHile it isnt needed you can sudo su
[13:46] <Jack_Sparrow> !noroot
[13:46] <ubotu> We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-)

[13:46] <Aquahallic> Mornin' folks....
[13:46] <xored> Jack_Sparrow: i hat it to connect not into IRC
[13:46] <micheal> yeah the ubotu got me yesterday lol
[13:47] <grndslm> xored:  sudo -s is what you want
[13:47] <grndslm> forget setting up a root password, it isn't needed
[13:47] <xored> grndslm: what is like exactly the SAME as root login.
[13:48] <grndslm> just type in sudo -s, dangitall
[13:48] <xored> beside i can setup diffrent shells, scripts etc for root.
[13:48] <mali> does any one know how to create bin file using rpms
[13:48] <grndslm> xored:  you can still have scripts in the /root directory... but i'm not sure about the different shell thing
[13:48] <Aquahallic> right after I login and hit enter my screen goes to a brown sand color.. just before my background comes up... is there anywhere I can change that color??
[13:48] <DRebellion> mali, what are you trying to achieve? I don't see how this is relevant to ubuntu...
[13:48] <Jack_Sparrow> mali: Try to avoid rpm's
[13:49] <mali> yes..
[13:49] <grndslm> xored:  pretty sure you can still change it in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow
[13:49] <xored> grndslm: i use my root login when i need root rights, and then i give them away. It was that way back in times, i like it :)
[13:49] <Tansien> is there any way to clear "dmesg"?
[13:49] <DRebellion> Tansien, why would you want to do that?
[13:49] <micheal> actually aquahallic i'm curius too
[13:49] <micheal> anyone know how to change the initial brown login color?
[13:50] <aquo> DRebellion: to hide a loaded rootkit
[13:50] <aquo> :)
[13:50] <grndslm> xored:  well, here in 2008, we don't login to root directly because that's what any hacker will be trying to crack first... if he doesn't know your username, it's harder to attack you... simply typing sudo -s gives you temporary root access so you don't have to keep typing sudo over and over again
[13:51] <Aquahallic> michael I can change color just before the login screen... and I can change the color of the login screen.. it's the screen that comes up after you enter your user and pass.. the one where the music plays that I can't find where to change
[13:51] <aquo> grndslm: what is the difference between sudo -i and sudo -s?
[13:51] <xored> grndslm: lol "if he dont know you username" ?
[13:51] <Tansien> Drebellion: server has had alot of link flaps, just want to empty so i can see if anything i do helps
[13:51] <xored> grndslm: dude, /ect/shadow is simply wordl readable
[13:51] <xored> grndslm: so he wont care :)

[13:52] <Aquahallic> IdleOne: I've changed the upsplash colors and the login screen.. it's the screen after the login

[13:54] <GreenByte> Hi all, I created a DynDNS account and I enabled it on my router, how to use it?
[13:54] <xored> rufus: start your ssh server?
[13:54] <rufus> its a apache server
[13:54] <speart> rufus:try openning ports
[13:54] <rufus> i did open ports
[13:54] <rufus> i opened port 80
[13:54] <grndslm> and restarted apache?
[13:55] <rufus> i have to restart?
[13:55] <micheal> are you wanting it to have inbound port 80 from outside or inside your network?
[13:55] <grndslm> if you changed the config since the last reboot
[13:55] <rufus> outside
[13:55] <micheal> does your ISP block it?
[13:55] <rufus> no
[13:55] <rufus> is there somthin in the config to change?
[13:56] <xored> micheal: there wont be any ISP blocking 80.
[13:56] <GreenByte> Hi all, I created a DynDNS account and I enabled it on my router, how to use it?
[13:56] <jaggy> what do i need to edit to let vim auto do smthng ?
[13:56] <xored> rufus: you have iptables running ?
[13:56] <micheal> if you are FiOS there will be :(
[13:56] <rufus> xored, i dont think so
[13:56] <CaptObvious> with ubuntu server, I should just be able to add video=... to the kernel arguments to display the console in a different res, right?  or is the server version not compiled with framebuffer support?
[13:56] <xored> rufus: iptables -L
[13:56] <rufus> im not fios, im high speed broadband
[13:56] <grndslm> GreenByte:  people use DynDNS in different ways, how do you want to use it?
[13:56] <david08> hello. how do i set up dvd playback on 7.10?
[13:56] <GreenByte> grndslm: I want to run my script/server of Ruby On Rails website there :D
[13:57] <DRebellion> !dvd | david08
[13:57] <ubotu> david08: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[13:57] <david08> i think i already installed css2
[13:57] <micheal> rufus: did you try grndslm's option and reset the server?
[13:57] <david08> totem just says there are no plugins installed for dvd playback
[13:57] <cobain_> I have a nforce raid 0 setup. the ubuntu installer doesnt seem to recognize it, is it difficult to install in this setup?
[13:57] <GreenByte> grndslm: Is it possible?
[13:58] <rufus> i did iptables -L
[13:58] <rufus> and it said some stuff
[13:58] <Jo71n_7_8471n> I solved problem. sudo dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq opera :-)
[13:58] <grndslm> GreenByte:  well, if you would like to run ruby on rails website on the computer you're on... simply set it up, then when you try to connect from an outside IP, it should translate yourwebsite.dyndns.com to your ip addy
[13:59] <david08> DRebellion: i tried doing sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh but it says command not existent

[14:00] <aladdinsane> is the an application to create themes for xfce4?
[14:00] <grndslm> GreenByte:  you do understand that the computer you're on is going to be your server, right?  and you most forward whatever port (80 for http server) you're working with from the router to your server....
[14:00] <grndslm> *must
[14:00] <GreenByte> grndslm: Now I use http://<IP_ADDRESS>:3000/bart/login , how will DynDNS transulate that? (I forwarded port 3000)
[14:01] <GreenByte> I got bartlab.mine.nu as domain
[14:01] <grndslm> replace the ip with that and it should work... if not, i'll give you another tip
[14:01] <GreenByte> does http://<IP_ADDRESS>:3000/bart/login works for you?
[14:01] <grndslm> surely does
[14:02] <GreenByte> http://bartlab.mine.nu:3000/bart/login :D
[14:02] <grndslm> that's right
[14:03] <GreenByte> I don't want that :3000
[14:03] <GreenByte> how to remove it?
[14:03] <jaggy> what do i need to edit to let vim auto do smthng ?
[14:03] <CaptObvious> any tips on getting framebuffer working in 7.10 server?
[14:03] <CaptObvious> GreenByte: that's the port number
[14:03] <CaptObvious> set it to listen on port 80 and you can remove it
[14:03] <jaggy> what do i need to edit to let vim auto do something at startup ?
[14:03] <david08> i remember that there is a command to clean all unnecessary packets with apt-get
[14:03] <david08> wich is it?
[14:04] <slackern> autoremove
[14:04] <CaptObvious> apt-get autoremove
[14:04] <slackern> also got autoclean
[14:04] <GreenByte> CaptObvious: thanks
[14:04] <grndslm> if you used aptitude there shouldn't be any unnecessary packets
[14:04] <GreenByte> CaptObvious: how to set script/server (Ruby On Rails) to :80?
[14:04] <CaptObvious> now, any ideas on getting framebuffer going?  my god the default res looks awful on a 24" monitor
[14:05] <CaptObvious> GreenByte: google knows
[14:05] <jaggy> am i going to get any anwsers ? =_=
[14:05] <speart> Is there a site where people show all the cool stuff they did with Ubuntu?

[14:06] <oriez> I lost the icons on the upper left of the screen... they are like four applets together and i forgot how i can bring them back

[14:08] <ircleuser> jacl sparr are you still there? i did that but nothing i have found the site though
[14:08] <speart> Steelx01: try emacs
[14:08] <ompaul> speart, you see the problem is you are not choosing what is cool, so therefore there is too much stuff that I know and we could discuss it all day so your question needs to qualify "what you think is cool"
[14:08] <Jack_Sparrow> ircleuser: Use tab to complete a users name...
[14:09] <_Oz_> fellas, I am experiencing difficulty installing adobe photoshop cs2 under wine.
[14:09] <speart> so don't
[14:10] <ompaul> speart, what is it you define as cool?
[14:10] <Jack_Sparrow> ircleuser: You got the command to run?  You read that site?
[14:10] <speart> if you got some time, try gimp and other stuff

[14:10] <leand> yes i did but nothing
[14:10] <x-ko> hi

[14:34] <zamboli_> no one knows how i can launch my GUI? :(
[14:35] <maximilion> Jack_Sparrow: I think I could make the sound perfect in Q3 if I can just find out what to set its snddevice command to instead of /dev/dsp
[14:35] <Jack_Sparrow> leand: And it Forces itself into /usr/lib/   which is not something we are removing with that other command...
[14:35] <Tilllinux> I am connected to a tightvncserver (through a vpn) with tightvncviewer. I edited the tightvncserver config files (/.vnc/xstartup) to load x and gdm. But I am only able to see the standard black-grey-dotted background with the big-black-X-cursor

[14:35] <maximilion> Jack_Sparrow: Sound card works whatever I throw at it, and there's no volume control/alsamixer because the USB sound card doesn't allow it, (same in XP)

[14:44] <ubotu> abdulla: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks.
[14:44] <moad> and how do i configure it ?
[14:44] <Jack_Sparrow> leand: gnome-terminal
[14:45] <petengy> someone knows remastersys ???
[14:45] <zamboli> krim, so i t remembers my layout, but not the channels that go along with them
[14:45] <petengy> to create your own live cd
[14:45] <krim> zamboli: http://irssi.org/documentation/startup#c3
[14:45] <maximilion> Jack_Sparrow: I feel like a newb. How do I run it?
[14:45] <ompaul> bjorn_, ehh due to the way the nice people in hardware refuse to tell the kernel makers how their hardware works suspend has some issues tell your friend to do a real shutdown not a suspend or hibernate and then turn on the box
[14:45] <grndslm> Mmm... Egg McMuffin
[14:45] <Jack_Sparrow> petengy: reconstructor
[14:45] <ompaul> !offtopic | grndslm
[14:45] <ubotu> grndslm: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[14:46] <petengy> jack-desktop, is better than remastersys ??
[14:46] <erUSUL> Iam: you are using debian repos with ubuntu???
[14:46] <sebrock> need some help with a good backup solution. I prefeer to do a complete image, so thats why I like Partimage. However, it cant backup a mounted filesystem, which I in this case have to. Any ideas?
[14:46] <leand> jack sparr: when i open terminal i get a mac menu style  but when i close it, it disappears
[14:46] <Iam> yes
[14:46] <erUSUL> sebrock: a livecd
[14:46] <ompaul> Iam, that will break your machine
[14:46] <_moro_bana_> hello, what could bre the reason for this: icons on my desktop get distorted when i move em
[14:46] <grndslm> sebrock:  rsync??
[14:46] <PeterAbelard> thetux: put this line in your /etc/fstab: "/dev/sda2     /mount/backup    ext3   defaults,rw   0 2
[14:47] <Iam> so I shouldnt do that?
[14:47] <erUSUL> Iam: that's a bad idea and unsupported no surprise you are getting errors
[14:47] <sebrock> erUSUL: yes, I thought someone would say that. However, I have to do this backup on a headless server. So I have to get access through ssh in order for me to do this remote... thats the problem
[14:47] <Iam> can I get a good sources.list for gusty
[14:47] <menllyos> why is it that i have 4GB of ram while ubuntu reports 3.8 GB ?
[14:47] <Jack_Sparrow> maximilion: Sorry..  go to terminal
[14:47] <maximilion> I'm there.
[14:47] <ompaul> Iam, start a live cd and it will give you your local list
[14:47] <Iam> I am upgrading from edgy to gusty
[14:48] <Jack_Sparrow> maximilion: type sudo bash alsa-info.sh
[14:48] <grndslm> menllyos:  same reason you have a 320gb hard drive, but ubuntu only reports 300
[14:48] <ompaul> Iam, not supported
[14:48] <thetux> PeterAbelard: thank you, automount works now :-)
[14:48] <maximilion> ok
[14:48] <Iam> ompaul:sorry, I didnt got u?
[14:48] <menllyos> uh why did windows report 4GB then ?
[14:48] <ompaul> Iam, you should step one step at a time - and given that you have this merge of different distros get a live CD and ehh reinstall fresh stop more breakage
[14:49] <KristianDK> Hi there :-) During format i lost my OpenGPG key, that i use for launchpad, can i obtain a copy, or must a create a brand new key?
[14:49] <CaptObvious> grndslm: that's actually wrong
[14:49] <bjorn_> ompaul, thanx. he says he shuts down tidely
[14:49] <grndslm> menllyos:  the number hardware manufacturers give you is 1000bytes=1KB, 1KB is actually 1024, just like there are 1024MB in 1GB, etc...
[14:49] <orphean> KristianDK, if you lost your private key and have no backups, you must obtain a new one.
[14:49] <CaptObvious> with RAM, a gigabyte is 1024MB.  with HDDs, a gigabyte is 1000MB
[14:49] <grndslm> menllyos:  windows lied to you so that you would feel warm and fuzzy inside
[14:49] <maximilion> Jack_Sparrow: http://pastebin.ca/897377
[14:49] <KristianDK> orphean, ok :)
[14:49] <ompaul> bjorn_, it is a sad fact that the hardware designers don't tell the kernel makers how their hardware works
[14:49] <Iam> ompaul, then I need to reinstall all packages?
[14:50] <Jack_Sparrow> maximilion: All the info on your system "Sound" will be in there.. I gotta get some rest...  Hope you understand
[14:50] <krim> Couldn't it be that menllyos is using 32bit and needs 64bit for 4gb ram? (sorry if I missed anything)
[14:50] <menllyos> CaptObvious : why does ubuntu only see 3.8 GB then?
[14:50] <menllyos> i am using 64b obviously
[14:50] <CaptObvious> menllyos: beats me
[14:50] <ompaul> Iam, what I am suggesting is a gutsy CD back up your data and then do a fresh install
[14:50] <orphean> krim, that would be correct if he was running windows. :) linux doesn't have that particular issue.
[14:50] <CaptObvious> linux must have that issue with 32 bit
[14:51] <CaptObvious> it's a hardware limitation
[14:51] <orphean> CaptObvious, I'm sorry, you're incorrect.
[14:51] <sebrock> erUSUL: so thats why I need at least a rescue CD that will perform a DHCP and activate a SSH session for remote logins
[14:51] <CaptObvious> orphean: source?
[14:51] <ompaul> menllyos, if you allow your machine have 64megs for video card then you can't have it for ram?
[14:51] <orphean> CaptObvious, pulling now
[14:52] <CaptObvious> thanks
[14:52] <Iam> ompaul, that I can do but I have lots of libraries installed , I need to reinstall them, Is there a way they can be reinstalled automatically after new installation?
[14:52] <Jack_Sparrow> maximilion: You might take that link over to the #Alsa room and see what they can do.. goodnight
[14:52] <menllyos> ompaul : my video card doesnt use my ram  its has plenty of its own...
[14:52] <maximilion> Jack_Sparrow: Night and thanks!
[14:52] <ompaul> menllyos, it was a guess - so that ruled out do this please and paste the output lshw
[14:53] <thetux> erUSUL: did not work, after reboot is is mounted, but as rw
[14:53] <ompaul> Iam, you can do something like sudo apt-get install build-essential
[14:53] <orphean> CaptObvious, http://www.linux.com/feature/119287?theme=print  Here is an older article talking about the 2.4 kernel series. This capability has not gone away in 2.6.x ;)
[14:53] <grndslm> yup
[14:53] <grndslm> but if he's running 64bit.. there should be no prob
[14:53] <erUSUL> thetux: cat /proc/mounts and paste it to paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[14:54] <menllyos> ompaul : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55335/
[14:54] <petengy> I'd like to install ubuntu on an external usb HD, do someone know a good wiki ???
[14:55] <orphean> CaptObvious, I can also provide you with my free -m since I am running 32-bit ubuntu with 4 gigs of ram if that will help ease your disbelief.
[14:55] <gw0gvq> hi if I download a new version of UBUNTU  will it use the same partion of my dual boot and overite the other version I have
[14:55] <CaptObvious> it's fine, I was just being pedantic :P
[14:56] <tonyyarusso> gw0gvq: only if you tell it to.

[14:57] <PsynoKhi0> Hi, anyon familiar with the Load_Cycle_Count issue on laptops here?
[14:57] <menllyos> ompaul: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55338/
[14:57] <MrTHaggar> Hi everyone
[14:58] <PsynoKhi0> hey
[14:58] <MrTHaggar> I'm trying to connect to my wireless access points configuration interface, however, it shows it's ip address as the DHCP address assisgned to it by my ISP, is there a way I can connect to it without unplugging the modem?
[14:58] <erUSUL> thetux: /dev/sda2 /media/backup ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0 <<<< it is clearly mounted rw
[14:58] <KristianDK> when creating my GPG key, it asks me for a passphrase, should it be a long, complicated thing i can't remember, or a long password, that i actually must remembeR?
[14:58] <pawan> hi
[14:59] <thetux> erUSUL: but i can't write on it :-(
[14:59] <erUSUL> KristianDK: you must remember it you will be using it if you sign or encrypt things
[14:59] <orphean> KristianDK, try a quotation or other passage of text.
[14:59] <KristianDK> erUSUL, ok, can other people see it?
[15:00] <eagle-101> no...
[15:00] <Slart> MrTHaggar: you're access point probably has another ip-adress too..something like <IP_ADDRESS> or similar
[15:00] <erUSUL> thetux: as anormal user you can not that's intended... just make a dir inside it with sudo and then change its permissions so you can writte to the dir
[15:00] <MrTHaggar> Slart, is there a way I can find out what it is?
[15:00] <eagle-101> well its useless without the master key
[15:00] <erUSUL> KristianDK: no
[15:00] <KristianDK> ok :) Thanks
[15:00] <player_boyz> hi
[15:01] <Slart> MrTHaggar: from the manual usually.. you can try <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>, or <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:01] <thetux> erUSUL: i think i have done something wrong then. I made this dir as root und then tried to chown it for my useraccount
[15:01] <bjorn_> ompaul, sorry i dropped out a little there. Boss on the phone. My freind says he installed Ubuntu on an ext2 filesystem. Could that cause a long boot time?
[15:01] <Slart> MrTHaggar: those are the ones I've seen used...
[15:01] <grndslm> MrThaggar:  google your router's model number?  or try different variations of the last part of the ip with numbers from 0 to 2.... <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>, etc...
[15:02] <ompaul> bjorn_, not long in particular they have only 1/2 a gig of ram but it should be around less than a min
[15:02] <MrTHaggar> Slart, the thing is I'm on DHCP, and my IP is assigned from my isp, and the access point almost becomes transparaent, so the ip of my default gateway doesn't work as the interface address
[15:02] <thetux> MrTHaggar: many routers also have 192.168.178.*
[15:02] <grndslm> MrTHaggar:  your router has 2 ip addresses, one on the wan and one on the lan
[15:02] <erUSUL> thetux: i'm not tasking abaout the mount point... create a dir like /media/backup/whatever
[15:03] <Slart> MrTHaggar: what's the brand and model of the access point?
[15:03] <MrTHaggar> Is there a multi ping program for ubuntu, so I can ping a range.
[15:03] <Stormx2> If I have an svn session open, and a command running, if I close SVN, is that command killed?
[15:03] <erUSUL> thetux: then sudo chmod youruser:youruser /media/backup/whatever
[15:03] <MrTHaggar> It's a D-link DWL-2000AP+
[15:03] <aminpro> hi....i hav a problem when installing UBUYNTU
[15:03] <grndslm> MrTHaggar:  for real, google your router's model number if you're not gonna try the common ip addys we gave you above
[15:03] <tonyyarusso> Stormx2: um, a svn session?  Perhaps you mean ssh?
[15:03] <aminpro> UBUNTU*
[15:03] <aminpro> hi....i hav a problem when installing UBUYNTU
[15:03] <Stormx2> tonyyarusso: ssh, my bad
[15:03] <aminpro> UBUNTU*
[15:03] <aminpro> can anybody help me?
[15:03] <Stormx2> !repeat | aminpro
[15:03] <ubotu> aminpro: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[15:04] <Stormx2> !ask | aminpro
[15:04] <ubotu> aminpro: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[15:04] <tonyyarusso> Stormx2: If you want to leave it running, run it within screen and detach before disconnecting.
[15:04] <Faust-C> screentabs@
[15:04] <reaktae> Any particular reason why all three - Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu would crash half way through copying files (when installing) under VMWare ACE?
[15:04] <MrTHaggar> I did try the IP address, however I'm not being assigned a private 192 address, I'm getting a public IP address straight from my ISP
[15:04] <Stormx2> tonyyarusso: Just screen ./thecommand ?
[15:04] <Slart> MrTHaggar: from googling, as grndslm nicely told you, http://whirlpool.net.au/index.cfm?a=h_view&model_id=303
[15:05] <frank__> hey guys, I'm not finding a solution to my problem: when xine is playing a video with subtitles, the video stutter before every subtitle phrase.... any idea?
[15:05] <Slart> MrTHaggar: if you won't accept advice given to you.. you might as well not come here at all
[15:05] <MrTHaggar> I'm not not accepting it :)
[15:05] <ompaul> menllyos, your video card is doing my head in ;-)
[15:05] <tonyyarusso> Stormx2: I like screen -S some_name thecommand, but it's not necessary
[15:05] <MrTHaggar> Please don't think I'm being rude.
[15:05] <aminpro> when i installing( at first ubuntu cd-boot screen) i select install and it says I/O error - error reading boot disk..
[15:05] <thetux> erUSUL: got it, will test it now
[15:06] <trippin45> hi im running gusty v7,10 on my dell latitude c840 an i can't get my sound to work any one know of a way or point me in the right direction?
[15:06] <menllyos> ompaul: what do you mean ? its my video cards fault?
[15:06] <MrTHaggar> That site lists the default IP as <IP_ADDRESS>, but I'm not being assigned a 192 address, I'm getting a publick 80. address.
[15:06] <erUSUL> !sound | trippin45
[15:06] <ubotu> trippin45: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[15:06] <Stormx2> tonyyarusso: how do I detach? o.O
[15:06] <tonyyarusso> MrTHaggar: Okay, we're pretty sure that you're either being belligerent or very confused, that's all.  :P  Since I'm guessing it's the latter, can you give us any screenshots, network diagrams, model numbers, etc.?
[15:06] <ompaul> menllyos, no - I am having problems finding it as a "stand alone card" i.e. what graphics card is it

[15:07] <Stormx2> Oh, alt
[15:07] <frank__> Hey guys, I'm not finding a solution to my problem: when xine is playing a video with subtitles, the video is stuttering before every subtitle phrase.... any idea?

[15:08] <aminpro> hi hav a problem....when i installing( at first ubuntu cd-boot screen) i select install and it says I/O error - error reading boot disk..
[15:08] <ompaul> menllyos, yeap
[15:08] <tonyyarusso> aminpro: Most likely a bad download / burn - have you tried the "verify" option yet?
[15:08] <shandy> in #django
[15:08] <Stormx2> tonyyarusso: Doesn't seem to work. When I hit Ctrl+A i get "no other window"
[15:08] <aminpro> verify?..how?
[15:09] <grndslm> MrTHaggar:  you went to your web browser and typed in <IP_ADDRESS> and you didn't get what you wanted??
[15:09] <ompaul> menllyos, sorry I was reading the block above it (its socket on the board ;-)) -- so, ok I am having fun trying to work out where you are spending that 64mb it just does not seem logical
[15:09] <aminpro> is verify ia the check cd for defects?
[15:09] <ompaul> menllyos, hang on til I ask someone
[15:09] <Stormx2> when I hit d, output continues.
[15:09] <aminpro> is verify is the check cd for defects?
[15:09] <menllyos> ompaul: im loosing 200 mb here... where do you get 64 mb from?
[15:10] <Slart> grndslm: I think he left.. well well.. he'll be back I suppose =)
[15:10] <frank__> Hey guys, I'm not finding a solution to my problem: when xine is playing a video with subtitles, the video is stuttering before every subtitle phrase.... any idea?
[15:10] <ompaul> menllyos, na 3.8 is not 200 it is more like 258 ;-)
[15:10] <ompaul> menllyos,  256 sorry
[15:10] <ompaul> 6x64
[15:10] <aminpro> tonyyarusso says:aminpro: Most likely a bad download / burn - have you tried the "verify" option yet?     ...  is verify is check cd for defects?
[15:10] <ompaul> menllyos,  4x64  per block
[15:11] <menllyos> ompaul: maybe it is my graka then cause that has 256mb memory ...
[15:11] <tonyyarusso> Slart: err, weird.  Try doing some other stuff for a moment and retry
[15:11] <aminpro> tonyyarusso says:aminpro: Most likely a bad download / burn - have you tried the "verify" option yet?     ...  is verify is check cd for defects?
[15:11] <tonyyarusso> aminpro: Yes, that's what it's called.
[15:11] <K_Nine> frank__: Have you tried installing and using VLC as a media player instead. That might clear it up.
[15:12] <Slart> tonyyarusso: weird indeed.. I didn't even know I had a problem =)
[15:12] <aminpro> tonyyarusso : i tried but its says the same thing
[15:12] <zelrikriando> hey anyone has installed CS3 on ubuntu?
[15:12] <aminpro> tonyyarusso : i tried but its says the same thing
[15:13] <tonyyarusso> aminpro: ouch - can't even get far enough then...  You may need to re-download.  See /msg ubotu verify for how to check it at each step
[15:13] <ompaul> menllyos, graka?
[15:13] <K_Nine> zelrikriando: I think you can install CS2 with WINE 0.94.
 When I use VLC with subtitles, the audio lose the sync with video
[15:13] <tonyyarusso> aminpro: (and you don't need to repeat yourself so often)
[15:13] <zelrikriando> K_Nine: what about CS3
[15:13] <aminpro> ok
[15:13] <K_Nine> frank__: Sorry.
[15:13] <aminpro> just afraid y dint see
[15:13] <K_Nine> zelrikriando: I don't think so.
[15:14] <menllyos> ompaul : i ment videocard ;i
[15:14] <zelrikriando> not even with virtualbox?
[15:14] <aminpro> ?
 no problem, thanks for reply
[15:14] <K_Nine> zelrikriando: Try it. I don't think so.
[15:14] <ompaul> menllyos, it just seems strange like it was allotted to the video card

[15:16] <aminpro> tonyyarusso: how .. i type /msg ubuntu verify but... nothing happens
[15:16] <menllyos> ompaul : indeed, it would make no sense cause the 256mb the video card has onboard should be more then sufficient...
[15:17] <ompaul> menllyos, yeap do me a favour and reboot check your bios is not "saving some for video" i.e. you have on board video disabled
[15:17] <menllyos> ompaul: theres no onboard video chip on this motherboard
[15:17] <zelrikriando> K_Nine: I see people saying that it works when I google it

[15:36] <nanbud1> please look at this link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fluxbuntu-project/+bug/157724/comments/10 could you please tell me whether the last three lines of terminal commands is just ONE line? what does the \ mean?
[15:36] <Seveas> nanbud1, the \ at the end of a line means that the subsequent line is part of the same coommand
[15:37] <aminpro> i want to install ubuntu and it says I/0 error - error reading boot disk
[15:37] <Seveas> nanbud1, so it is indeed one command
[15:37] <aminpro> spmebody help me
[15:37] <Seveas> aminpro, burn it at lower speed
[15:37] <boritek> animpro: and use a quality disk
[15:37] <kwtm> How can I find a log/record of what apt-get or adept has upgraded?  E.g. I just finished auto-upgrading some packages on my Feisty. Is there a log of what has changed?
[15:37] <phuzion> aminpro, alternatively, check the cd you have now for errors
[15:37] <Seveas> kwtm, /var/log/dpkg.log
[15:38] <phuzion> if the errors do not turn up, its possible you have a bad drive.
[15:38] <kwtm> Seveas: Thank you, will try that.
[15:38] <aminpro> i just wasted a DVD and i hav to risk another by lowing the spped?? ( does this work)

[15:38] <aminpro> i dont hav a cd
[15:38] <boritek> aminpro: use an RW disk
[15:38] <nanbud1> Seveas: i accidentally pasted all the three lines on the terminal and the command ran!(along with the slashes), a lot of output. does this mean the thing is done?
[15:38] <nanbud1> was i supposed to remove the slashes?
[15:39] <phuzion> aminpro, its recommended that when you burn discs for OSes that you burn them at the lowest possible speed, to prevent errors from popping up unexpectedly
[15:39] <Seveas> nanbud1, yes, the terminal saw the \ and made one command out of the three lines
[15:39] <nanbud1> then its done okay?
[15:39] <aminpro> can i install it from my external hard disk?
[15:39] <kwtm> Seveas: That was the answer!  Thanks.
[15:39] <ompaul> menllyos, you are running a 32bit kernel?
[15:39] <Seveas> nanbud1, you only should remove the slashes if you make it one line again. It's done ok
[15:39] <Seveas> aminpro, no

[16:05] <wil_> Seveas, thanks, il take a look... it is just weird because I can even type the password correctly in somewhere else, and paste, but it does not work... on my windows machine, it works perfectly... its annoying
[16:05] <teo_> kane77,  yes twice
[16:05] <h4L1m> hi guys need help with fluxbox, i need the command to generate the fluxbox menu, anyone who knows it?
[16:05] <VOiCi> how can i purge a package that seems to always come back when i use apt
[16:05] <VOiCi> gforge-ldap-openldap
[16:05] <Odd-rationale> h4L1m: sudo update-menus
[16:05] <fantum13> Hello, I have an atheros AR5007EG WLAN card. I have an amd64 machine, and as such madwifi isn't supported. However, ndiswrapper only works sporadically, and now while I'm able to see wireless networks and associate with them, I'm unable to obtain a DHCP lease. Could anyone help me with this? I have no idea where to start.
[16:05] <aminpro> how do i install syslinux?-ta make my pendrive bootable...
[16:05] <Seveas> VOiCi, apt-get remove --purge gforge-ldap-openldap
[16:06] <h4L1m> Odd-rationale, that's it?
[16:06] <Odd-rationale> h4L1m: do this from another de like gnome/kde
[16:06] <Da_Putzler> for fluxbox menus type, sudo update-menus
[16:06] <boyet> seveas: any gui to add it easily? like adding esrvices?
[16:06] <VOiCi> Seveas, thanks :)
[16:06] <BaudBaud> I guess nobodya has the answer to my question, thanks anyway
[16:06] <nigorski> busy place this
[16:06] <nigorski> lol
[16:07] <Seveas> nigorski, it's been worse :)
[16:07] <KiD_ChAoS> i installed my wifi card using ndiswrapper and now the wifi device light is not lit on my laptop and i cannot turn it on using the function key help!
[16:07] <wil_> Seveas: i just looked, but I can not find the option :(
[16:07] <Tgif> is there a way to let ubuntu update automatically ? in stead of having to click the orange icon?
[16:07] <h4L1m> Odd-rationale, it does not help, in forums they say to type fluxbox-generate_menu but it didn't work too
[16:07] <teo_> kane77, i tried to up apache2 on live cd with same commands and it worked.. :S when i install ubuntu it cant work :S
[16:08] <Seveas> teo_, you said you messed around witch xampp as well. That may have crapped your system
[16:08] <Da_Putzler> does anyone know some good tweaks to really speedup ubuntu or gnome ?
[16:08] <teo_> yes i know.. but i reinstall 3 times the sistem to try again and again:S on my desktop it works but on the laptop not :S:S
[16:09] <rvalles> I'm having serious stability problems (can't switch users!) with current propietary nvidia driver packages @ ubuntu. Is there any extra repo or something with up to date propietary nvidia drivers?
[16:09] <Slart> KiD_ChAoS: I don't know the answer to your question.. but I think you'll be more likely to get an answer if you provide some more info. .what brand is the laptop.. what brand is the wireless chip.. has it worked before? what version of ubuntu? also.. try googling for your laptop brand + ubuntu +wireless to see if anyone else has asked the same question
[16:09] <loa> Hello! How i can exclude packet from update, when i hit apt-get upgrade
[16:09] <Odd-rationale> h4L1m: One moment...
[16:09] <Seveas> loa, by pinning it to the current version
[16:09] <Tgif> is there a way to let ubuntu update automatically ? in stead of having to click the orange icon?
[16:10] <loa> i make custom packet, and i dont't want update him!
[16:10] <Seveas> Tgif, yes but it's not recommended since updates sometimes require a reboot
[16:10] <rvalles> hardy (misc): NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org 'new' driver [restricted]
[16:10] <rvalles> 169.09+<IP_ADDRESS>-7.19: amd64 i386
[16:10] <Tgif> ok thanks
[16:10] <rvalles> seems hardy has recent nvidia drivers... any way to use them from gutsy?
[16:10] <msix> in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile there's talk of configs being located debian/config/ARCH/, can anyone point me to a full path ?
[16:11] <Slart> Tgif: I think there is... perhaps in the "software sources" settings app
[16:11] <Seveas> loa, search for the package in synaptic, select it and select package -> lock version in the menu
[16:11] <Slart> Tgif: yes.. there are options for automatic updates there.. in system, administration, software sources
[16:11] <Roy> I have the desktop effects disabled but still my notebook freezes frequently and my keyboard refuses to work. Any hints?
[16:12] <crusie> hey - I want to dual boot ubuntu with xp for starters... I got no free partition but lots of free space - if I choose to dualboot under install will it rezise the partiton ?
[16:12] <crusie> so my xp installation will be intact
[16:12] <kane77> teo_, what does sudo apache2ctl fullstatus give you?
[16:12] <Seveas> crusie, if you tell it to
[16:12] <nigorski> yup
[16:12] <Slart> Roy: include brand of your laptop, version of ubuntu, what you've tried so far.. anthing in the logs? any other error messages?
[16:12] <crusie> Seveas, so I'll have no problems still having my windows install ?
[16:13] <nigorski> thats how i did my install crusie..
[16:13] <Seveas> crusie, correct
[16:13] <crusie> aight
[16:13] <Spop> Helllo?
[16:13] <crusie> secon question - I got an old ubuntu install disc laying around... can I upgrade that ?
[16:13] <Slart> crusie: be sure to backup any "live or die"-documents you might have on that windows partition.. as with all major system changes.. things can go wrong
[16:13] <crusie> Slart of course :d
[16:13] <Roy> Slart: I have a Compaq Presario V3000 laptop, Gutsy Gibbon, kernel version 2.6.22
[16:13] <KiD_ChAoS> after ndiswrapper install the wifi light on my laptop is not on, and won't turn on with the function key. this means the module is not loaded right? i do a modprobe ndiswrapper. done. still nothing but the dmesg command returns
[16:13] <KiD_ChAoS> bcm43xx: Error: Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode5.fw" not available or load failed.
[16:13] <KiD_ChAoS> bcm43xx: core_up for active 802.11 core failed (-2)
[16:14] <Slart> crusie: I don't think you can update an existing cd.. but you can download a new one
[16:14] <crusie> slart, I'm thinking installing the old one and update via repos
[16:14] <Seveas> KiD_ChAoS, bcm43xx and ndiswrapper aren't the same thing. bcm43xx loads by default and now conflicts with ndiswrapper. YOu should use system -> admin -> restricted driver to install a driver for bcm43xx and simply forget ndiswrapper
[16:14] <Slart> crusie: how old? a week? a month? a year? is it still gutsy? feisty? hardy?
[16:15] <Spop> Hello?
[16:15] <crusie> think it's feisty fawn
[16:15] <Vad1> How can I kill the x server so that it doesn't restart?
[16:15] <teo_> kane77, nothing i type that and it
[16:15] <recon> The bars from my windows are missing.
[16:15] <Spop> I am a newbie and have a question
[16:15] <bazhang> spop what is your question
[16:15] <Seveas> Vad1, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[16:15] <hardy> Hi
[16:15] <teo_> kane77, nothing i type that and it isnt doing anything...
[16:15] <Vad1> Seveas: Ok, moment
[16:15] <Slart> crusie: then I'd download a new iso and burn it
[16:15] <crusie> ok
[16:15] <msix> in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile there's talk of configs being located debian/config/ARCH/, can anyone point me to a full path ? also.. debian helper commands "debian/rules updateconfigs"  i'm unfamiliar with that format of giving commands
[16:15] <Slart> crusie: updates usually work but some things might get.. well.. less than perfect =)
[16:16] <Spop> I tried to add a user called Games. Ubuntu already said there was a user with that name but I never created it. Why would it be on my computer?
 Thank you man!
[16:16] <Seveas> Spop, it's one of the standard system accounts
[16:16] <Slart> Roy: I don't know why it isn't working.. but you should include that info when you ask the room for help
[16:16] <teo_> kane77, i get this w3m: Can't load http://localhost:80/server-status.
[16:16] <Roy> Slart: Sure
[16:16] <Spop> But I tried to log in and it asked for a PW. What wouldthe PW be?
[16:16] <crusie> which version do you guys recommend ? I want something STABLE :D
[16:16] <Seveas> Spop, you can't use it for logging in
[16:17] <Odd-rationale> h4L1m: Search the forums for: "HOWTO: get a Fluxbox menu"
[16:17] <crusie> 6.06 or 7.10 ?
[16:17] <nigorski> the latest one has been perfect for me
[16:17] <h4L1m> Odd-rationale, ok
[16:17] <bazhang> heh
[16:17] <soldats> Spop: its mainly used for user gruops
[16:17] <Spop> OK. Obviously what I am a newbie! Haha
[16:17] <Seveas> Spop, simply pick a different name for the user you want to create
[16:17] <Slart> crusie: if you want stable.. well.. there's debian =)... for me gutsy is stable
[16:17] <pc15> hello
[16:17] <guardian> hi
[16:17] <Slart> crusie: what are you going to use the computer for?
[16:17] <rvalles> I'm having serious stability problems (can't switch users!) with current propietary nvidia driver packages @ ubuntu. Is there any extra repo or something with up to date propietary nvidia drivers? It seems hardy has recent (169.09) nvidia drivers... any way to use them from gutsy?
[16:17] <crusie> how about 64 bit and wine ?
[16:17] <Seveas> Slart, drop the b from stable when talking about debian ;
[16:17] <Spop> Where can I find a lit of all system user IDs?
[16:17] <Seveas> ;)
[16:17] <Slart> crusie: server? desktop?
[16:17] <crusie> primaly gaming and stuff
[16:17] <guardian> i need to brush up my knowledge about compiz and beryl, what whould be used nowadays ? compiz ? does beryl still exist ?
[16:17] <crusie> exploring nix
[16:18] <Spop> So I know what else besides games is on my computer.
[16:18] <Slart> Seveas: hehe.. never thought about it that way.. but indeed.. =)
[16:18] <Tilllinux> strange. I'm connected to a tightvncserver via tightvncclient, which works pretty well (by now). Though the keys on my keyboard seem to be switched randomly (like z resulting in an * and q inc c and strg in l etc...) Does anyone have a clue what could be the cause of this problem?
[16:18] <Slart> crusie: then get gutsy
[16:18] <Seveas> Spop, /etc/passwd, any user with an id less than 1000 is a system user
[16:18] <Roy> Any hints why Gutsy Gibbon on Compaq Presario V3000 freezes and my keyboard refuses to work inspite of disabling the desktop effects?
[16:18] <Tilllinux> guardian: compiz-fusion
[16:18] <Spop> thanks Seveas!
[16:18] <crusie> in 32 or 64 bit ? I got a dualcore processor
[16:18] <Slart> crusie: a lot has happened since the last LST version..
[16:18] <guardian> Tilllinux: does it come installed with gutsy ?
[16:18] <guardian> Tilllinux: or feisty ?
[16:18] <Slart> crusie: I'd say 32-bit if you have less than 4gb memory
[16:18] <Tilllinux> guardian: with gutsy
[16:18] <bazhang> 32bit crusie unless you have 4gb of ram or more
[16:19] <crusie> only have 2gb
[16:19] <Seveas> guardian, with gutsy and hardy
[16:19] <Audacitor> Hey all, having a minor problem.  Is there anyway I can boot into Ubuntu from a flash drive on a MacBook?
[16:19] <crusie> so 32 bit it is
[16:19] <Slart> crusie: 64 bit still has some quirks.. not many.. but still
[16:19] <h4L1m> Odd-rationale, thx a lot
[16:19] <Seveas> Audacitor, I'm not sure if a macbook can boot from a flashdrive
[16:19] <Slart> Audacitor: you can boot ubuntu from flash.. don't know about the macbook part though.. perhaps someone else knows
[16:19] <Audacitor> So it seems so far.
[16:20] <Roy> Any hints why Gutsy Gibbon on Compaq Presario V3000 freezes and my keyboard refuses to work inspite of disabling the desktop effects?
[16:20] <Odd-rationale> h4L1m: np
[16:20] <Audacitor> I was wondering if there were a way to trick the MB into thinking the USB drive was a CD drive
[16:20] <Slart> Audacitor: hmm.. hard to do that if the operating system isn't loaded yet
[16:21] <benny269> new to ubuntu - can anyone help me get flash please?
[16:21] <teo_> kane77, i get this w3m: Can't load http://localhost:80/server-status.
[16:21] <Seveas> !flash | benny269
[16:21] <ubotu> benny269: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[16:21] <crusie> hmm any fast mirrors? I'm getting the iso with only 6x kbits..
[16:21] <Slart> Audacitor: most modern motherboard support booting from a usb connected device..
[16:21] <crusie> 6x kbytes even
[16:21] <Seveas> crusie, se.releases.ubuntu.com
[16:21] <Audacitor> Looking up my MBs mobo...
[16:21] <Slart> crusie: use torrents.. or look up a mirror.. they are listed at the ubuntu site
[16:21] <Seveas> crusie, depends on where you live though :)
[16:21] <msix> can anyone tell me where to find the "debian/config/ARCH" directories ( related to kernel compilation )
[16:21] <|katana|> hey.. I messed up my admin account :p
[16:22] <Seveas> msix, in the unpacked source tree of the kernel packages
[16:22] <|katana|> I changed the homedir with sudo usermod -d /home/familyname/name user
[16:22] <crusie> Slart seems like it's my internet connection then... downloads with 7x kbytes..
[16:22] <guardian> ok thx
[16:22] <crusie> now it's below 40..
[16:22] <benny269> is it possible to change your username?
[16:22] <Seveas> benny269, yes
[16:23] <|katana|> ..and now some things aren't the same as they used to be.. gnome says 'user's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored.'... File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions [and so on]
[16:23] <benny269> Seveas: how could this be done?
[16:23] <Slart> crusie: well.. not a lot you can do then.. =)
[16:23] <msix> Seveas : that directory is empty
[16:23] <k0d3> damn..I installed ubuntu last night and I am hella impressed...I tried installing that load of crap Vista half the day never did work took about 10 min on ubuntu
[16:23] <oreomike> |katana|, make sure $HOME is set right for your user
[16:23] <bazhang> k0d3: welcome! ;]
[16:23] <Seveas> benny269, as root, change all occurences of your old username in /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/shadow and /etc/gshadow to the new one and move your homedir from /home/oldusername to /home/newusername
[16:24] <Seveas> benny269, but be very careful 'cause if you mess up you can't login :)
[16:24] <k0d3> hehe...had to say it
[16:24] <|katana|> oreomike: where can I see that?
[16:24] <k0d3> I use to run Redhat linux back in the day
[16:24] <puika> http://lostworlds.lv/go.php?1139637493
[16:24] <benny269> Seveas: im a newbie - is there any way of doing this via gui or cli?
[16:24] <oreomike> |katana| open Terminal and echo $HOME
[16:24] <k0d3> and I still cannot get over how easy it was to install
[16:24] <bazhang> pulka not here
[16:24] <|katana|> echo $HOME  -> is correct
[16:24] <Audacitor> hmm... sys profiler won't let me know what mobo I have.  So there's no way I can trick into thinking a USB port is an Optical from BootCamp?
[16:24] <oreomike> the ls -l $HOME/.d*
[16:24] <gribouille> hi
[16:25] <oreomike> then ls -l $HOME/.d*
[16:25] <k0d3> Im using Xchat....is that the best or what else does everyone like (if others)
[16:25] <tallman_> k0d3, cogratulations :)
[16:25] <oreomike> k0d3 chatzilla
[16:25] <gribouille> Hi. if I type, "ulimit -H -m 1000", I get the following error : bash: ulimit: max memory size: cannot modify limit: Invalid argument
[16:25] <|katana|> well.. there's nothing in there oreomike..
[16:25] <bazhang> for gnome likely yes k0d3
[16:25] <Slart> k0d3: many people use xchat.. some people like console based irc-clients better
[16:25] <newcomer> Hy
[16:25] <k0d3> k..coo
[16:25] <|katana|> neither is in the old home directory..
[16:25] <newcomer> hi
[16:25] <newcomer> what up folks?
[16:25] <newcomer> I have a question
[16:26] <oreomike> what does echo $HOME give you, |katana|?
[16:26] <Audacitor> Okies then.  So thanks anyway guys, I'm off to apple support, maybe they know some voodoo or some such.  Later
[16:26] <|katana|> ..actually, it seems as if the old homedir is trying to be used.. Since it has .profile, .sudo_as_admin_successful and so on, in it
[16:26] <oreomike> the new or old dir?
[16:26] <newcomer> does the X-Windowing System in linux based os's is the equivalent to MFC???
[16:26] <Slart> newcomer: just ask.. and let the enter-key rest a bit =)
[16:26] <|katana|> echo $HOME gives /home/john, while the new one should be (which I changed with usermod) /home/smith/john
[16:26] <Seveas> |katana|, did john log out and log back in?
[16:26] <|katana|> oh
[16:26] <|katana|> lol
[16:27] <|katana|> I mean, echo $HOME gives /home/smith/john, which is correct
[16:27] <|katana|> I rebooted
[16:27] <Seveas> and does john own /home/smith/john?
[16:27] <|katana|> oh.. didn't check that.. I thought usermod -d NEWDIR username would do that
[16:27] <|katana|> seems that's the problem :p
[16:27] <Seveas> it doesn't
[16:28] <|katana|> so how exactly? chmod ...?
[16:28] <blackace11> could anyone  assist me with my wifi ? it recognizes the locations but doesn't connect
[16:28] <oreomike> chown john:john /home/smith/john, |katana|
[16:29] <|katana|> okaydokay! It works. thx guys :)
[16:30] <k0d3> got a question...when you add servers in xchat-gnome...How do you enter the port? do you just put it after the server name seperated by semi colon? or do you have the option to change the port some where else?
[16:30] <Slart> blackace11: more info. .what wifi-chip are you using.. are there any error messages?.. what did you find using google? what did you find when you searched the forums? has it worked before? what version of ubuntu?
[16:31] <benny269> Just installed flashplugin-nonfree via terminal but it hasnt worked, any idea why?
[16:31] <soldats> k0d3: when you open the server list click the server and choose edit the change the irc.server.net to irc.server.net/<port> without the <>
[16:31] <blackace11> no error message... i've used it before but not on this install... using fiesty... i used the walkthroug on forumz... and everything worked except connecting
[16:31] <Tilllinux> benny269: because the installer was corrupted
[16:32] <blackace11> i'm using a dell d520 latitude
[16:32] <benny269> Tilllinux: how can I get around it?
[16:32] <Slart> blackace11: any special reason you're using feisty? why not gutsy?
[16:32] <L3ttuc3> i've noticed if you've just gksu'd a command, it wont ask you your password again for some minutes after you've last typed it in. while this is a nice little feature, i wonder if it's wise, in case, in those minutes, someone gains direct access to your computer. is there a way to modify that behaviour?
[16:32] <oreomike> anyone used a laptop docking station?
[16:32] <Joelito> Hi all
[16:33] <blackace11> cause that's the one i used last time...
[16:33] <k0d3> soldats: thanks bro =))
[16:33] <Slart> L3ttuc3: you can change that in a config file somewhere.. check man sudo
[16:33] <Joelito> I downloaded ubuntustudio via apt-get, where are they? I'd like to use them.
[16:33] <L3ttuc3> Slart oh ok, i was looking in the wrong place then (gksu).
[16:33] <Tilllinux> benny269: I think it has been corrected in the latest update (but, as usual, I'm not sure ;D )
[16:33] <Joelito> I meant ubuntustudio-sounds
[16:33] <tallman_> benny269, look on the launchpad
[16:33] <Slart> blackace11: if I were you I'd try the gutsy live cd and see if it works there..
[16:33] <blackace11> don't need live cd
[16:34] <blackace11> it says it can update it in the gui
[16:34] <benny269> tallman_: any particular link, or generally?
[16:34] <tallman_> benny269, the easiest way would be to grab manually the hardy package
[16:34] <blackace11> the update manager says new distribution update... should i do that?
[16:35] <benny269> tallman_: can you walk me through that please?
[16:35] <Slart> blackace11: yes.. I just figured it would be a lot less work to just try out the live cd before going through the whole updating thing
[16:35] <Tiii72> htrjdsx
[16:35] <tallman_> benny269, I'll give you the link
[16:35] <adobongkangkong> hi i found  a new mono-1.2.6+dfsg  in "http://archive.ubuntu.com" but how come it's not installable through synaptic and how come i didn't received any update?
[16:35] <blackace11> yeah i don't have live cd of it so ... yeah lol
[16:35] <|katana|> seems there's a lot of samba gui's. Should I just try one or does some1 have a suggestion?
[16:36] <adobongkangkong> |katana| : GSamba
[16:36] <tallman_> benny269, 32 or 64 bit?
[16:36] <oreomike> |katana|, on gutsy i can connect right to a share via Places
[16:37] <Slart> blackace11: if you have a cd-burner you can always download and burn.. it's very possible your problem is solvable without upgrading but I wouldn't know how.. my wireless worked out of the box with gutsy
