[19:06] <TailsLinux> lol
[19:06] <Pelo> sigh ....
[19:06] <froglet> murlidhar: cool, thanks!
[19:06] <unicum> i just set up an ubuntu 7.10 which, thanx to alternate install, came out of the box with lilo. if i update to hardy now, will it stay lilo or change to grub?
[19:06] <murlidhar> froglet, mention not :)
[19:06] <kakoonia> !qbase
[19:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about qbase - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:07] <AlphaOmega> how do i know if ubuntu is seeing my on-board firewire port?
[19:07]  * Pelo thinks ppl who just put random caracters at the end and beginning of their nick should be hung drawn and quartered,  not sure what quartered is but I hope it is slow and painfull
[19:07] <noodlesgc> unicum should stay lilo
[19:07] <MasterShrak> lol @ Pelo
[19:07] <Pelo> AlphaOmega,  you can try and look in  hardware info , in the prefs menu
[19:07] <kakoonia> anyone knows a paralel program for Qbase?
[19:07] <MasterShrak> AlphaOmega plug something into it and type dmesg
[19:07] <unicum> noodlesgc i got a "should" in #ubuntu+1 as well.. although i'd really prefer a "will" ^^
[19:08] <TailsLinux> maybe people should be fdisked too
[19:08] <evilbug> i have a really old pc and i want to salvage some stuff off of the hdd,how would i do that? it's an IDE drive,'98 compaq presario desktop.
[19:08] <Pelo> kakoonia, search for qbase in the repos
[19:08] <juannicolas> how can i restore postgresql in ubuntu with dpkg?
[19:08] <AlphaOmega> MasterShrak: what do i grep for?
[19:08] <MasterShrak> AlphaOmega just look at the end of the output
[19:08] <kakoonia> pelo, Thanks.
[19:08] <froglet> evilbug: take the hdd out, attach it via a usb enclosure
[19:08] <jelle> evilbug use a screwdriver and just disconnect de hd
[19:08] <AlphaOmega> gotcha
[19:08] <AlphaOmega> thanks
[19:08] <Pelo> evilbug,  might want to give puppy linux live cd a try , it's very very very light , perfect for old pc
[19:08] <noodlesgc> unicum, well you dont have the grub package from the repo, so it probably wont just install it for fun
[19:09] <kakoonia> pelo, i looked for it, nothing came up, what do you mean by repositories? i look in the Synaptic pkg-man..
[19:09] <unicum> noodlesgc: sound's fair, thx
[19:10] <Pelo> kakoonia, synaptic is a front end , it uses the repositories for installing and searching
[19:10] <kakoonia> Pelo, so should i look for it there?
[19:10] <Pelo> kakoonia, google and the www.ubuntuforums.org would be your next stop then , or a qbase channel if  you can find one
[19:10] <backslash> simplexio: Its me again, but just one question: Is there a good tutorial about VNC in general, installation and configuration in console, without X / gnome ?
[19:11] <kakoonia> Pelo, ok, thanks budd.

[19:14] <anthony> Pelo: I've thought of the same thing - computer in a cabinet.  Wood, of course.
[19:14] <Pelo> murlidhar, why ?
[19:15] <sweetsinse> ideas?  anyone else runing firefox 3
[19:15] <murlidhar> Pelo, this is the second instance
[19:15] <Pelo> anthony, I just thinks it takes too much room on the floor underneath my drafting table
[19:15] <noodlesgc> sweetsinse you could try in #firefox

[19:15] <sweetsinse> i have hardy too
[19:15] <sweetsinse> but i use xfce on both
[19:16] <sweetsinse> i have read that the applications list uses gnome-vfs
[19:16] <Pelo> sweetsinse, try asking in #ubuntu+1 you are more likely to find someone wiith experience of FF3 problem

[19:19] <Lamego> that should remove the conf files, and they should be installed with a reinstall
[19:19] <baffle> I have noticed a strange bug on my laptop (IBM T42) Hardy installation. "hald-addon-input" consumes all CPU and makes the system really sluggish until I kill it. Looking at strace outputs, it seems to fail polling one of the /dev/input/event1, wich seems to point to ../../devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input1/event1 .. Is this a known bug?
[19:19] <noodlesgc> !hardy | baffle
[19:19] <ubotu> baffle: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[19:19] <gullstad> How can I display the size of a folder in MB in therminal?
[19:19] <arunkale> !lamp
[19:19] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[19:19] <juannicolas> Lamego so, how do I installed it again
[19:20] <Lamego> juannicolas, sudo apt-get install package
[19:20] <Lamego> gullstad, man du
[19:20] <Pelo> anthony,  well I would need to orient the mobo so the plugs that usualy come out at the back of a case come out on the side of a drawer,  ( takinginto account the desk I'm using) and toward the bac,  the rest would be to put the cd/dvd toward the front for access , and there should be room enough around the cpu to provide good air flow
[19:20] <anthony> Pelo: right
[19:21] <nixnoob> does anyone have any experience using libusb-1.0?
[19:21] <arunkale> i can run a local server with both python and php, right?
[19:22] <Lamego> arunkale, yes
[19:22] <arunkale> Lamego: thanks.. how do i go about doing that? Python is already installed, but do I need to do anything more to get it to work with Apache/MySQL? Sorry if that's a noob question
[19:23] <fyreofchaos13> Can somebody help me? I'm having issues with installing TinTin++...
[19:23] <anthony> arunkale: yeah, they're just modules to apache, which can be simultaneously enabled.  The settings for apache will determine which to use for different file types.
[19:23] <Lamego> arunkale, I have never used python for web development
[19:23] <Lamego> have you installed mod_python ?
[19:23] <Lamego> libapache2-mod-python
[19:23] <arunkale> Lamego: nope, not installed anything yet.. just want to know the details before I install stuff
[19:25] <Lamego> arunkale, install mod python and check it's documentation, http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/
[19:25] <juannicolas> Lamego  i did the apt-get install postgresql and goes fine, but when entering to the /etc/ folder there should be a postgresql folder and is not

[19:26] <fronten> anyone used maya unlimited 2008 here on ubuntu ?

[19:28] <cdecarlo> |Lee|: have you tried ifconfig up
[19:28] <|Lee|> PriceChild: It's Ubuntu server, there is no Gnome/KDE :P
[19:29] <|Lee|> cdecarlo: No, I'll brb (I hate it when it's accrossed the hall..
[19:29] <Lamego> juannicolas, you don't need to restore files, you just need to do a plain install
[19:29] <|Lee|> cdecarlo: Device not found.
[19:30] <PriceChild> |Lee|: right ok. and you are sure that the ethernet card doesn't appear in ifconfig? lspci and put that ina  pastebin please?
[19:30] <Lamego> juannicolas, first remove your current install: sudo apt-get remove --purge postgresql*
[19:30] <arunkale> do you recommend that i install apache, etc. via the command line or synaptic? or does it not really matter?
[19:30] <|Lee|> How can I do that when it's a different computer without internet, PriceChild?..
[19:30] <ompaul> |Lee|, do ifconfig -a and see what it says does it tell you have more than one ethernet or does it seen any cards at all .. this is the first step .. when you see it has only one you type sudo  dhclient and then you work out if it gave you one
[19:30] <cdecarlo> |Lee|: what does lspci give you lspci | grep Ethernet
[19:31]  * Neo_Tech is away (Off Dulu,Istirahat...)
[19:31] <juannicolas> done, this time remove more files, *
[19:31] <|Lee|> cdecarlo: It shows an ethernet thing

[19:33] <brunner> can I use rsync on shared hosting?

[19:39] <levander> arunkale: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/SolidSlate+Modified?content=44963
[19:40] <levander> arunkale: That's not a great pic.  Solid Slate Modified is basically all the stuff on the borders of the window.  Like the close, minimize, maximize buttons.
[19:40] <djmitche> ISTM a default Ubuntu 6.10 install has both star and gnu tar installed, but that /bin/gnutar is not gnutar, it's star.  Is this a bug or a feature?
[19:40] <djmitche> (or am I totally off base)
[19:40] <||Lee|> Yay
[19:40] <||Lee|> Now I need some browser :x
[19:40] <arunkale> levander: i'm guessing it's an emerald theme?
[19:40] <levander> djmitche: That'd be a bug, but unless 6.10 is LTS, nobody's gonna care.
[19:41] <djmitche> LTS?
[19:41] <levander> arunkale: Yeah, I never bothered using the compiz stuff till I found that theme.
[19:41] <||Lee|> Long term support, djmitche .
[19:41] <djmitche> ah, ok, tx
[19:41] <arunkale> levander: compiz doesn't really work on my computer
[19:41] <levander> arunkale: That's some african skins, one of which is elephant, that I use as a GDM greeter.  arunkale I'll PM you the themes I use.
[19:41] <levander> arunkale: That sux.
[19:41] <cdecarlo> |Lee|: do you have another workstation that you can ssh into the server with
[19:41] <sachael> does anyone know this program pack - contains programs called "dates", "sync", tasks"?
[19:42] <anthony> sachael: can you be more specific?
[19:42] <tyler_d> my vpn connection to pptp gives me the error upon connection: Could not start the VPN connection 'WORK' due to a connection error.
[19:42] <tyler_d> VPN Connection failed
[19:42] <arunkale> levander: yup.. i have a new nvidia graphics card, but it doesn't work properly, so yeah
[19:42] <cdecarlo> |Lee|: then you can do all the nice pretty things on the workstation and the command line stuff through the ssh'd session
[19:42] <arunkale> sucks
[19:42] <levander> arunkale: Basically, for window themes, I like all the "slate" variants.  Slate is basically a rip off of the Windows border themes, but I tell you, I hate Microsoft, but border themes is the one thing they did that I really like.
[19:42] <levander> arunkale: Did you get the nvidia driver installed okay?
[19:43] <sachael> anthony, gtk programs called "dates", "tasks", "sync" from a company, i think they are not in the repos, the company that makes them has a green hand as a logo
[19:43] <|Lee|> cdecarlo: I'm not sure, if it's plugged in to my dads wired internet, and I'm on wireless, can I ssh into it?
[19:43] <giggsey> How can I setup dual monitors on my Hardy?
[19:43] <anthony> !hardy | giggsey
[19:43] <ubotu> giggsey: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[19:43] <giggsey> Cheers
[19:43] <levander> arunkale: There are many slate variants that aren't emerald, but I didn't like any of those as much.  But, I did like them.
[19:43] <pit_> hello
[19:44] <arunkale> levander: yup, the driver has installed properly, but i can't get compiz to work well.. it's not a huge deal, but yeah, it's a little irritating
[19:44] <pit_> can eanyone could help me with wireless netwotrk
[19:44] <crdlb> sachael: OpenedHand
[19:44] <levander> arunkale: Just search on art.gnome.org for slate, and you'll find a bunch of them.
[19:44] <arunkale> great
[19:44] <levander> arunkale: What's wrong with compiz on your box?  The nvidia driver should be the only hardware specific thing.
[19:44] <sachael> crdlb, that's it! thank you.
[19:44] <pit_> I'm trying to crate an AP but my laptop can't see any network I'm trying to crate within UBUNTU
[19:45] <arunkale> levander: black screens, etc. the usual problems
[19:45] <levander> pit_: Are you trying to connect the laptop wirelessly?
[19:45] <|Lee|> cdecarlo: You here?
[19:45] <cdecarlo> |Lee|: sure, you can
[19:45] <arunkale> i have an amd processor, if that makes a difference
[19:45] <pit_> i would like to ...
[19:45] <pit_> UBUJNTU has internet by wire
[19:45] <levander> arunkale: I've never heard of those...  Maybe just cause I never had them, I never had to google for it.  Maybe it'll work better for you in Hardy??
[19:45] <cdecarlo> install a ssh server on the server an ssh client on the workstation
[19:46] <levander> arunkale: AMD shouldn't make a difference.
[19:46] <pit_> lavander: and I want to create the AP
[19:46] <arunkale> levander:  yeah, maybe it will :)
[19:46] <|Lee|> Damn it cdecarlo, I'd have to stop my gnome installation in the middle, but if I can ssh into it .. :D
[19:46] <cdecarlo> |Lee|: are the machines on the same local network
[19:46] <cvd-pr> There a away to make ubuntu shutdown after downloading and installing the updates?
[19:46] <cdecarlo> are you building X?
[19:47] <levander> pit_: I don't even know what an AP is that you would create inside of Ubuntu.  I've always just connected to the wireless router, which is it's own independent piece of hardware.
[19:47] <levander> pit_: You have a wireless router?
[19:47] <anthony> cvd-pr: on a command line there is, but I'm not sure if there's a GUI method yet.
[19:47] <Stroganoff> anthony: gshutdown

[19:47] <|Lee|> cdecarlo: I sudo apt-get installing kde now, and it has ssh installed and running .. I can ssh into it from there, but not from workstation.
[19:48] <anthony> Stroganoff: Nice.
[19:48] <JS__> i have gnome "nm-applet" question -- anyone can help?

[19:57] <abhinay> dudeeee34, the camera software automatically gets opened when you connect your camera through USB
[19:57] <Slart> JS__: grep filters them.. only showing lines containing "nm"
[19:57] <abhinay> dudeeee34, doesn't it ?
[19:57] <dudeeee34> no
[19:57] <dudeeee34> the camera was desinged for windows
[19:57] <dudeeee34> idk if it will work here
[19:57] <unicum> i just did a dist-upgrade, but for some reason i'm being booted into the old dist. why?

[20:00] <dudeeee34> can anyone help me with my usb camera?
[20:00] <Slart> JS__: do you have two processes named nm-applet?
[20:00] <JS__> yes
[20:00] <dudeeee34> im trying to set up a dynex usb camera
[20:00] <SiftinDotCom> dudeeee34, you need to have either sources of that driver to recompile on your ubuntu box or you will need to get the rpm from your camera manufacturere
[20:00] <ssn> chroot -t doesnt work with the modern knoppix version
[20:00] <dudeeee34> i have the cd for it
[20:00] <backgen> hey guys, i'm trying to choose a port for Azureus...which port is usually good for this sort of thing?
[20:00] <dudeeee34> i plug it in it turns on
[20:00] <Slart> JS__: ok.. type kill 12345 .. but change 12345 to the process id of one of the nm-applets
[20:00] <dudeeee34> i just want a program for it
[20:01] <JS__> first number is 5132; second is 5154
[20:01] <SiftinDotCom> dudeeee34, that program is called driver
[20:01] <dudeeee34> a program that allows me to use usb recording
[20:01] <Slart> JS__: then type kill 5132
[20:01] <Slart> JS__: it doesn't really matter which one you kill
[20:01] <dudeeee34> ah k then
[20:01] <JS__> ok. i will type kill 5132
[20:01] <Slart> JS__: and then press enter.. did the tray icon go away?
[20:01] <backgen> hey can anyone give me an Incoming TCP Listen Port that is usually Open? I'm configuring my Bit-Torrent
[20:01] <JS__> it worked!
[20:01] <SiftinDotCom> dudeeee34, please cal ur camera manufacturer to find out linux driver/application support
[20:02] <Slart> backgen: there are no ports that are "usually" open.. if there is, they are probably already being used
[20:02] <JS__> now, do you think it will last or will i need to do this again with each restart?
[20:02] <Slart> JS__: depends on why there was two applets in the first place
[20:02] <backgen> Slart: well then what should i do?
[20:02] <Slart> backgen: pick one at random and then make sure it's open
[20:03] <d1gital> weird problem guys:  my panel won't load up unless i switch to another vt and killall gnome-panel   What's the matter?
[20:03] <JS__> ok.  thank you both for your help!! bye.
[20:03] <backgen> Slart: ah ok...well then whats a good random port number?
[20:03] <Slart> JS__: you might have run the applet twice.. you might be starting it twice when you login.. it's hard to tell which one it is
[20:03] <graft> hi, what are my options for editing an EPS file?
[20:03] <bobgill> How do I start Ubuntu with no X server ? Just CLI login
[20:03] <JS__> ok
[20:03] <Slart> backgen: 12345... very random.. I used many dices
[20:03] <graft> actually just for cropping/resizing an EPS file
[20:04] <backgen> Slart: lol
[20:04] <backgen> lol nope it says it's closed
[20:04] <d1gital> open it
[20:04] <Slart> backgen: then open it..
[20:04] <backgen> how do i open it?
[20:04] <d1gital> backgen are you behind a router
[20:04] <Espionage> can anyone help me pick some broken packages? I've found them using synaptic
[20:05] <graft> bobgill: you could define a new runlevel
[20:05] <zrn> Hi. I'm trying to debug an epiphany extension, can anybody point me in the right direction?
[20:05] <backgen> i'm not sure...probably...i'm connecting via rez connection in my univeristy
[20:05] <d1gital> "no im in front of it" lol
[20:05] <d1gital> then yes you are and no you cant reconfigure their router...
[20:05] <arunkale> do i need to install libapache2-mod-auth-mysql to use php with mysql
[20:05] <backgen> shoot...so how do i find an open port?
[20:05] <gregory> zrn: does it crash?
[20:05] <bobgill> graft: what do you mean? Or could I just disable GDM and that would boot into a text login ?
[20:05] <zrn> nop
[20:05] <zrn> it just doesnt work
[20:06] <backgen> i mean this should work since Azureus works fine on my Windows
[20:06] <Slart> backgen: well.. the night is young.. keep trying.. only 65535 to go =)
[20:06] <pgentoo_> Hi, I have a supermicro board with a AIC9410 SAS/SATA controller onboard.  I'm unable to get this working (with SATA drives) on my Gentoo Xen system currently.  I'm wondering what the newest Xen Dom0 capable kernel ubuntu currently provides, and if the libsas module have working SATA support now in that version.  If so i may wnat to move my Dom0 over to ubuntu.
[20:06] <zrn> and im trying to find the offending function
[20:06] <nael> Hi would anybody be able to help me with getting screen resolution right on a HP laptop with an other external monitor?
[20:06] <graft> bobgill: how permanent do you want this situation to be? is this just a one-off thing?
[20:06] <JyZyXEL> why can't i read the files on my CD
[20:06] <JyZyXEL> i can only list them
[20:06] <JyZyXEL> but when i try read them they are all empty
[20:06] <Slart> JyZyXEL: you forgot to put it in the drive.. it's still on the bedroom floor
[20:06] <JyZyXEL> nuh uh
[20:06] <JyZyXEL> its on the drive and mounted
[20:06] <Slart> JyZyXEL: bad burn?
[20:06] <d1gital> backgen: thing is, there might be open ports, but they have to be forwarded to your computer, so basically without being a 1337 h4x0r and reconfiguring the school router, it aint happening
[20:06] <JyZyXEL> no it worked last time
[20:07] <JyZyXEL> its a prefectly good burn
[20:07] <nael> maybe he has the permisions wrong
[20:07] <graft> bobgill: if so, you can just, say, write 'exit 0' as the first line of /etc/init.d/gdm
[20:07] <Slart> JyZyXEL: bad cd drive?
[20:07] <backgen> darnit
[20:07] <bobgill> graft: well actually i want to run fsck on my root, that's the goal. just realized no X server isn't going to do it
[20:07] <JyZyXEL> no it worked
[20:07] <JyZyXEL> permissions are wrong?
[20:07] <JyZyXEL> it could be that
[20:07] <JyZyXEL> dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 2007-05-30 16:51
[20:07] <graft> bobgill: oh ah.. there's a way to reboot to get it to do that, hold on
[20:07] <JyZyXEL> its wrong?
[20:07] <Slart> hmm.. is file size restricted by permissions?
[20:07] <graft> bobgill: shutdown -F
[20:08] <Slart> JyZyXEL: no error messages in dmesg or syslog?
[20:08] <d1gital> weird problem guys:  my panel won't load up unless i switch to another vt and killall gnome-panel   What's the matter?
[20:08] <bobgill> graft: ahh, thanks!
[20:08] <graft> bobgill: np

[20:08] <JyZyXEL> lol
[20:08] <JyZyXEL> wtf
[20:08] <Slart> JyZyXEL: a scratch on the cd?
[20:08] <Slart> JyZyXEL: tried remounting it?
[20:09] <JyZyXEL> tried countless times
[20:09] <JyZyXEL> now its stuck

[20:10] <JyZyXEL> lsof: WARNING: can't stat() ext3 file system /dev/.static/dev
[20:10] <JyZyXEL>       Output information may be incomplete.
[20:10] <JyZyXEL> that is just plain wrong
[20:10] <JyZyXEL> lsof works
[20:10] <JyZyXEL> when i pipe it to grep it doesn't
[20:10] <JyZyXEL> or something
[20:10] <linkinxp> where you install fonts/
[20:10] <linkinxp> ?
[20:11] <JyZyXEL> actually no
[20:11] <JyZyXEL> thats the sterr prolly
[20:11] <JyZyXEL> well i guess the disc is broken then
[20:12] <ay^> why does it say #ubuntu-unregged next to #ubuntu when I'm here? :]
[20:12] <d1gital> weird problem guys:  my panel won't load up unless i switch to another vt and killall gnome-panel   What's the matter?  it also doesnt load nm-applet..
[20:12] <ay^> I just did the whole nickserv-registering process
[20:12] <backslash> Is there a god tutorial about configuring apache and ubuntu to have for each user a subdomain, web-data in the home folder, maybe with bash scripts ? With all permissions and so on... Would be awesome!

[20:14] <arno-t> gdmgreeter :)
[20:14] <pauldoo> in #gobuntu
[20:15] <graft> backslash: i don't think apache can do that by default... you could set up virtual hosts on a per-user basis, or auto-gen config files, but i dunno if it will just do it automagically
[20:16] <graft> backslash: but i could be wrong, you should read here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_userdir.html#userdir
[20:16] <FAJALOU> i have an intellimouse 3.0a, and i have followed the guide to make it work on http://epologetics.org/ubuntuhowto.php#intellimouse  but my two side buttons still don't seem to work
[20:16] <graft> backslash: in fact i thinki am wrong and you can just do UserDir http://*.foo.com/
[20:17] <backslash> graft: Okay, im gonna have a look at that... But the whole folder permissions system, and that every user has his data with his permissions in his home folder?
[20:17] <graft> backslash: oh wait, but that'll just redirect.... hrm.
[20:17] <d1gital> weird problem guys:  my panel won't load up unless i switch to another vt and killall gnome-panel   What's the matter?
[20:17] <backslash> Just so I could create users with their own filders
[20:17] <graft> backslash: well, apache does that by default, in ~/public_html
[20:17] <FAJALOU> any thoughts
[20:18] <graft> backslash: which you can access with like http://foo.com/~backslash
[20:18] <backslash> Yea.. Didn't know that, which is why im looking for an apache tutorial or something
[20:18] <backslash> yes
[20:18] <Itaku> my ubuntu says /dev/dsp is busy(the sound driver) i get this error alot how do i fix it?

[20:18] <FAJALOU> i have an intellimouse 3.0a, and i have followed the guide to make it work on http://epologetics.org/ubuntuhowto.php#intellimouse  but my two side buttons still don't seem to work
[20:18] <graft> Itaku: stop running a sound server, would be my guess
[20:18] <graft> Itaku: also why are you using /dev/dsp?
[20:19] <backslash> graft: okay...
[20:19] <JyZyXEL> graphical tool for displaying information about your computer?
[20:19] <Itaku> graft: i never set anything
[20:19] <arunkale> i just installed phpmyadmin, but i have no idea where it got installed
[20:19] <Itaku> graft: how do i stop using the sound server?
[20:19] <FAJALOU> i have an intellimouse 3.0a, and i have followed the guide to make it work on http://epologetics.org/ubuntuhowto.php#intellimouse  but my two side buttons still don't seem to work
[20:19] <arunkale> i can't access it at http://localhost/phpmyadmin
[20:20] <graft> Itaku: are you using gnome?
[20:20] <Itaku> yeah^^
[20:21] <graft> Itaku: in that case i'm not sure... i guess you need to configure your sound system to use ALSA instead of OSS
[20:21] <Ar-Pharazon> Hi, I need to send files from kubuntu to winxp over ethernet. Can anyone help?
[20:21] <ay^> Ar-Pharazon: ftp?
[20:21] <blinkiz> Am having problem burning a dvd with Brasero. It says I don't have space for the image on the DVD. The dvd needs 4028MB. The disk is on 4.7GB. What todo?
[20:21] <Itaku> i have nvidia
[20:21] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: Winscp3
[20:21] <Itaku> and im using ALSA
[20:22] <Ar-Pharazon> ay^: Ftp?
[20:22] <graft> Itaku: nvidia meaning your video card? If you're using ALSA you shouldn't be getting reports about /dev/dsp
[20:22] <ay^> Ar-Pharazon: yeah, set up a FTP-server on the XP-can and send your files to it
[20:22] <LegionX> blinkiz: normal DVD-R only have 4.25G space
[20:22] <LegionX> ~4700MB
[20:22] <Itaku> graft: well thats what i assume cuz VMWare is yelling at me about that
[20:22] <arunkale> anyone?
[20:22] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: just get winscp and use that to connect to ubuntu... much easier than setting up an FTP server on the windows side
[20:23] <blinkiz> LegionX, Okay, lets say its on 4.25. Why can't i burn the image?
[20:23] <Ar-Pharazon> ay^: How do I set it up and how do I send them afterwards?
[20:23] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: What's winscp?
[20:23] <ay^> Ar-Pharazon: perhaps the winscp-idea is easier
[20:23] <LegionX> blinkiz: are you just burning the iso on a data-dvd or are you burning it as an image?
[20:23] <ay^> but if you still wish to know I could help setting one up
[20:23] <_Mick> can anyone help with a netinstall?
[20:23] <Itaku> graft: my sound doesnt work for some reason though you know how to fix it?
[20:24] <blinkiz> LegionX, Like an image. Pressing the big image button i basero
[20:24] <FAJALOU> i have an intellimouse 3.0a, and i have followed the guide to make it work on http://epologetics.org/ubuntuhowto.php#intellimouse  but my two side buttons still don't seem to work

[20:24] <neil_> Hi could somebody please help me get screen resolution right on a HP laptop with an external monitor?
[20:24] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: it's a free SCP client for windows... it lets you copy files from any machine you can connect to via SSH (i.e., an ubuntu machine)
[20:24] <ay^> well it shouldn't take too long
[20:24] <_Mick> i'm getting bad archive mirror all the time
[20:24] <ay^> but still winscp is easier

 Thanks :) Is there another gui way?
[20:27] <zishan> hi everyone, anyone know where to learn all the linux commands???
[20:27] <ay^> zishan: google.com
[20:27] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: ok let me try that
[20:27] <daekdroom> it's impossible to learn all em.
[20:27] <Itaku> zishan: try command help
[20:27] <blinkiz> LegionX, Okay, another solution to burn dvd image maybe? It was a console tool named mkisofs something...
[20:27] <neil_> http://www.linux-tutorial.info/modules.php?name=Your_Account
[20:28] <graft> blinkiz: k3b?
[20:28] <VSpike> I have a bunch of mail files in mime format in my spool.  How can I use the command line to extract the attachments?
[20:28] <zishan> i am using windows xp right now, but want to change to ubuntu
[20:29] <neil_> Hi could somebody please help me get screen resolution right on a HP laptop with an external monitor?
[20:29] <ay^> zishan: there is more to linux and ubuntu than commands at this time
[20:29] <WildChild7> hello guys. How can I set up my linux so the only way user can login is through command line like: startx ?
[20:29] <LegionX> blinkiz: i think that just makes the iso.. not sure if it burns too
[20:29] <zishan> ok
[20:29] <ay^> zishan: even tho commandline computing is surely very effective
[20:29] <knoppix_> hola
[20:29] <ay^> zishan: but to get things up'n'running you shouldn├żt need to know all commands
[20:29] <knoppix_> alguien habla espa├▒ol
[20:29] <knoppix_> hi
[20:29] <ompaul> !es | knoppix_
[20:29] <ay^> zishan: you could either google or ask in here as you play along with the OS

[20:29] <graft> WildChild7: don't run a desktop manager like gdm
[20:30] <WildChild7> graft: how can I do that ?
[20:30] <graft> WildChild7: apt-get remove gdm, maybe. though that might try to uninstall all of gnome
[20:30] <arunkale> how do i uninstall an app completely? i want to uninstall phpmyadmin properly and re-install it. apparently apt-get remove wasn't good enough
[20:30] <zishan> ok... do you know if all the windows programs work in ubuntu
[20:30] <Starnestommy> arunkale: apt-get remove --purge packagename
[20:30] <zishan> like visual studio 2008
[20:30] <Ubuntu--Newbie> How can I increase the number of Virtual Desktop? Current I have 2...But I have seen people using 4
[20:30] <VSpike> WildChild7: try update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[20:30] <arunkale> Starnestommy: thanks
[20:30] <graft> zishan: are you for real? or is this just some lame trolling?
[20:30] <Slart> zishan: they don't.. not even close
[20:30] <lopin> Hey, guys...  I just came back to my computer, and it said that someone was trying to use VNC to view my desktop?  Could I be in trouble?
[20:31] <ay^> zishan: well most of them dont, but there are very many good/better programs in linux doing the same/almost the same thing
[20:31] <WildChild7> VSpike: graft, i can't uninstall all gnome apps :D
[20:31] <blinkiz> LegionX, growisofs was the command I was looking for
[20:31] <ay^> zishan: which app are you thinking of?
[20:31] <d1gital> zishan: i doubt VS works in nix.. it uses a load of windows libraries though you could give wine a try...
[20:31] <graft> WildChild7: does apt-get remove gdm try to uninstall all of gnome?
[20:31] <LegionX> blinkiz: yeah, i just figured that too :)
[20:31] <VSpike> WildChild7: my command just removes gdm form the startup programs
[20:31] <zishan> so, it is possible to program c#.net in ubuntu?
[20:31] <neil_> Ubuntu--Newbie, just rigt click on the desktop switcher and change the setting from propertys
[20:31] <d1gital> you can use Mono
[20:31] <VSpike> WildChild7: it doesn't remove it from the system
[20:31] <Slart> zishan: there's always mono
[20:31] <Slart> !mono
[20:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mono - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[20:32] <zishan> what is mono?
[20:32] <VSpike> zishan: you can run VS in a virtual machine if you need to ... i do.
[20:32] <Ubuntu--Newbie> Thanks! that was easy
[20:32] <graft> WildChild7: yeah VSpike's way is better
[20:32] <boolka> How come when I connect my laptop to lcd monitor via VGA cable it works. But when I use a VGA to RCA/svideo converter cable, it dont work? Do i have to modify the x.org file?
[20:32] <Slart> zishan: linux implementation of .net, afaik
[20:32] <zishan> ok, thank you very much
[20:32] <neil_> Ubuntu--Newbie, no problem
[20:32] <Ubuntu--Newbie> VSpike - how much ram did you dedicate to your VM?
[20:33] <Ubuntu--Newbie> VSpike - VS needs a lot of ram i suppose
[20:33] <d1gital> weird problem guys:  my panel won't load up unless i switch to another vt and killall gnome-panel   What's the matter?
[20:33] <mrkeishii> how do i get Envyng core for Gutsy?
[20:33] <Slart> mrkeishii: envyng? what is that?
[20:33] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: Ok, so I installed winscp ut what's the hostname supposed to be?
[20:33] <VSpike> Ubuntu--Newbie: base RAM is set at 768MB (guest is XP) and it seems pretty snappy
[20:33] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: you tell me dude... it's your machine
[20:33] <_Lee_> For some reason, Ubuntu says it can't read from the CD, is there a cause for this?
[20:33] <mrkeishii> some driver
[20:33] <mrkeishii> thing
[20:33] <mrkeishii> I need this program to use on Wine
[20:33] <Ubuntu--Newbie> VSPike - are you using VirtualBox?
[20:34] <Slart> mrkeishii: same thing as envy? then don't.. try !envy
[20:34] <VSpike> Ubuntu--Newbie: yeah
[20:34] <arunkale> got it to work, phpmyadmin works fine now :)

[20:35] <Stroganoff> mrkeishii: http://appdb.winehq.org/
[20:35] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: I think it's already static for my winxp pc.
[20:35] <Slart> mrkeishii: wine is installed using synaptic.. drivers can be installed using restricted drivers manager

[20:39] <zishan> i hate win xp
[20:39] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: Sort of. The laptop was dual boot, the other OS is vista. I used to be able to share files between vista and xp, but I can't boot into vista anymore.
[20:39] <menakcman> @Lamego so what all do I need to give ?
[20:39] <Lamego> daire, I dont remember the name, it's a compiz config manager
[20:39] <Ubuntu--Newbie> I am looking for a Cisco VPN client for Ubuntu anyone knows where can I get one
[20:39] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: okay... so presumably your laptop has a wireless connection
[20:39] <mitk0k> anyone ?
[20:39] <daire> lamego: so it has been removed from ubuntu?
[20:40] <Lamego> daire, no, it waws not
[20:40] <VSpike> Ubuntu--Newbie: kvpnc ?
[20:40] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: It does, yes.
[20:40] <gregory> Ubuntu--Newbie: try vpnc
[20:40] <daire> lamego: but it's no longer in the options

[20:40] <Ubuntu--Newbie> can i get these from the add/remove?
[20:40] <Lamego> daire, try installing gnome-compiz-manager, or ask in #compiz
[20:40] <menakcman> I  cannot connect using RDP , it is timing out
[20:40] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: is the PC connected to the Net at all? presumably it is since it could talk to your laptop before...
[20:40] <_Lee_> What's wrong with this command? sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh
[20:40] <BizMan2008> anyone know of any ssh settings that would cause a vnc connection through putty to never fully connect?
[20:40] <daire> i have visual aeffects in appearance set to extra but it doesn't let me customize them.

[20:41] <amenado> ader10-> did you read your menu.lst? i believe there are blurbs there on getting a windows entry
[20:41] <_Lee_> What's wrong with this command? sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh
[20:41] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: Er... Just to make sure we don't misunderstand each other, how is internet relevant?
[20:41] <_Lee_> What's wrong with this command? sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh ...
[20:41] <ader10> amenado: yes. I saved it and tried sudo update-grub but windows doesn't show on the kernel list
[20:41] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: They both connect to the internet through a wireless router.
[20:41] <VSpike> ader10: you could try sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub

[20:42] <Lamego> ops, i was missing one c
[20:42] <mitk0k> gregory, I can play the DVD file ( vob ) but I cannot load/choose subtitles
[20:42] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: so... you do have a LAN, in other words
[20:42] <zorglu_> q. for VoIP, there is skype/ekiga... and what is the third big one ? i dont remember the name
[20:42] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: what's your laptop's IP address?
[20:42] <_Lee_> What's wrong with this command? sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh ... PLEASE HELP.
[20:42] <menakcman> I am on a LAN . I still cannot RDP :(
[20:42] <kranny> hello
[20:42] <danand_> _Lee_ - try sudo ./usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh
[20:42] <Slart> J-a-k-e: could be.. what soundcard are you using?
[20:42] <amenado> ader10-> look at the file carefully, there are blurbs on how to add windows entries, they are commented out
[20:42] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: Well... Yeah. Kind of. I can't share files over *that* LAN though.
[20:42] <danand_> _Lee_ - note the dot at the beginning...
[20:42] <kranny> How can i make Greasemokey script work for firefox in linux
[20:43] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: why can't you share files over it?
[20:43] <_Lee_> danand_: Still not a command it says.
[20:43] <ader10> amenado: I know...
[20:43] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: if both machines are talking to the same router, they can almost certainly talk to each other
[20:43] <Slart> _Lee_: drop the "PLEASE HELP" stuff.. that file may not be executable.. i'd use "sudo sh /usr/share.....blablabla"
[20:43] <amenado> BizMan2008-> on your putty client, is Enable X forwarding  checked?   X display location :0  ?
[20:43] <_Mick> so, anyone can help with netinstall?
[20:43] <kranny> Actually i need to edit a text file to change the signature
[20:43] <ay^> _Lee_: do the file have execute permission?
[20:43] <ay^> _Lee_: or user with that file
[20:43] <_Lee_> sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh
[20:43] <amenado> ader10 so uncomment those and modify to get a windows entry
[20:43] <ader10> amenado: All I have to do is save that and it will work on the reboot? Nothing else?
[20:43] <_Lee_> Er
[20:43] <_Lee_> sh: Can't open /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh
[20:44] <Flare183> Is it possible to get mouse trails on Ubuntu?
[20:44] <Slart> _Lee_: does the file exist?
[20:44] <amenado> ader10 commented directives will not be acted on, you have to uncomment the entries
[20:44] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: Well, that LAN (192.168.1.*) only has the router and the laptop. The pc is connected to the router by a cat5.
[20:44] <_Lee_> Slart, it should, I installed libdvdread3 ..
[20:44] <danand_> _Lee_  - sudo ./usr/share.... see the dot before /usr
[20:44] <Slart> _Lee_: remember.. Linux is case sensitive..  Examples and examples isn't the same folder
[20:44] <J-a-k-e> Slart: it's a creative x-fi xtreme audio card
[20:44] <ader10> amenado: ... After I finish editing the file and save it, do I have to do anything else?
[20:44] <ay^> Ar-Pharazon: but they should be able to communicate via the router
[20:44] <YuriQ> how do I edit the list of entries in GRUB Boot menu?
[20:44] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: When I shared files between them I used 192.168.4.*, the pc was 4.1 and the laptop was 4.2
[20:44] <Slart> _Lee_: use <tab> to autocomplete folders and files
[20:44] <ay^> Ar-Pharazon: I have the same set-up
[20:44] <amenado> ader10-> reboot?
[20:45] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: they're probably still on the same LAN, i would guess
[20:45] <Flare183> YuriQ: /etc/grub/ or something like that
[20:45] <chalcedony> can someone tell me about doing backups onto a different part of my own drive? i tried zipping my home directory, but it errors at the end because i keep using the computer while it's zipping. .. how to fix that?
[20:45] <amenado> YuriQ-> use vim or nano as root
[20:45] <Ar-Pharazon> ay^: Really? I thought the router was only good for internet access unless everyone has a wireless adapter.
[20:45] <Slart> J-a-k-e: the x-fi isn't well supported in linux.. creative isn't playing nice with the other kids in the playground
[20:45] <Flare183> YuriQ: i know that the file is in the /etc folder
[20:45] <ader10> amenado: I seem to recall having to do something like update-grub, but it looks like that's not needed. Thank you!
[20:45] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: So how do I share files over the router?
[20:45] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: well, just plug the ubuntu laptop's IP in as the hostname for winscp
[20:45] <YuriQ> is there a graphical configuration utility for that?
[20:46] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: it should prompt you for your ubuntu username and password, and then you'll be all set
[20:46] <ay^> Ar-Pharazon: no, I have wlan from my uber-1337 laptop and a wired connection to my stationary, and I amd ssh:ing from my laptop to stationairy as we speak
[20:46] <Flare183> !who > YuriQ (You talking to me?)
[20:46] <tyler_> Hi.
[20:46] <Slart> _Lee_: the path to that file is wrong.. mine is in /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/ .. not in examples etc
[20:46] <Flare183> !hi | tyler_
[20:46] <_Lee_> Slart: Don't blame me, blame https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html
[20:46] <YuriQ> @Flare183 sure
[20:47] <tyler_> I was curious about the taskbar is it changable?
[20:47] <Itaku> is it possible to login to GNOME as root?
[20:47] <Slart> _Lee_: I didn't blame anyone.. I just informed you
[20:47] <Itaku> like anyway in the world
[20:47] <ubotu> tyler_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[20:47] <danand_> _Lee_ - sudo ./usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh :)
[20:47] <Slart> Itaku: yes.. but it isn't recommended, good for you, needed or safe
[20:47] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: So the window asks me for hostname, username and pass, the username and pass should be my ubuntu logins, is that right?
[20:47] <ay^> Itaku: well, it shouldn├żt be a problem if you got root access
[20:47] <Flare183> YuriQ: ok, gedit I guess
[20:47] <Slart> danand_: drop the first dot
[20:47] <ay^> yep
[20:47] <Itaku> Slart: i want to how do i?
[20:47] <ay^> Ar-Pharazon: yep!
[20:47] <BizMan2008> amenado: i dont need it set for any other linux box i have enabled vnc through ssh
[20:47] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: yeah
[20:48] <BizMan2008> even when i add it though, it still doesnt work
[20:48] <danand_> _Lee_ - sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh :)
[20:48] <Flare183> How do I get mouse trails on Ubuntu?
[20:48] <d1gital> what compiz packages does gutsy come preinstalled with.. i uninstalled them to fix some problems and now i cant get it back
[20:48] <geoyo> hello everyone! i downloaded adobe flash player, but i cannot install it, it says "archive type not supported" when i double-click the .RPM file. can anyone help me?
[20:48] <_Lee_> danand_: You lose, I did it already ..
[20:48] <amenado> BizMan2008-> you keep insisting you dont have to, but does it work?
[20:48] <danand_> _Lee_ - :P
[20:48] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: It says "connection failed". The details are "connection failed".
[20:48] <crdlb> d1gital: compiz
[20:48] <chalcedony> does anyone have a url for how to back up your stuff to a different section of your own drive please?
[20:48] <graft> Itaku: why do you want to? It's almost always a bad idea
[20:48] <Flare183> !rpm | geoyo
[20:48] <ubotu> geoyo: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[20:48] <gregory> geoyo: choose *tar.gz from the webpage
[20:48] <ay^> chalcedony: you could tar it
[20:48] <Lamego> !flash
[20:48] <Slart> Itaku: there is a switch somewhere.. gconf-editor perhaps .. I can't remember.. but you have been warned.. I'll taunt you if you come back with a broken install.. =)
[20:48] <ubotu> 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
[20:48] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: can you ping the laptop from your windows machine?
[20:48] <Itaku> graft: im really lazy and im too lazy to use sudo and then time in my huge pass
[20:49] <Itaku> i know all the warnings
[20:49] <chalcedony> ay^: yes .. i need step by step commands?
[20:49] <Slart> Itaku: then ask us how to fix that instead
[20:49] <tyler_> Chalcedony if you have 2 harddrives try putting them all the important files on to it.
[20:49] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: Yeah.
[20:49] <Itaku> my responsibility blablabla
[20:49] <Slart> Itaku: you can open a root shell if you want
[20:49] <tyler_> On to 1*
[20:49] <Itaku> naw i want root gnome
[20:49] <Itaku> can you just tell me?
[20:49] <graft> Itaku: if you're lazy, you can just disable passwords, or open a root shell, or give yourself a long time before your sudo tickets run out, etc.
[20:49] <tyler_> Does anyone here know how to change my taskbar theme?
[20:49] <Lamego> !sudoroot | Itaku
[20:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sudoroot - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[20:49] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: are you running ssh on the ubuntu machine?
[20:49] <chalcedony> tyler-_: um yeah maybe .. i'd have to go outside and find a computer that has  working drive to salvage i guess.
[20:49] <Lamego> !rootsudo | Itaku
[20:49] <ubotu> Itaku: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[20:50] <ay^> chalcedony: mkay well you could make a list of all the files, and then tell tar to tar those files
[20:50] <Slart> Itaku: I don't know where exactly.. there is a switch somewhere .. something like "allow root to login to gnome".. it's enabled by default
[20:50] <geoyo> gregory thanks, i have downloaded it, how can i install it now?
[20:50] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: Not as far as I know.
[20:50] <chalcedony> ay^: thousands
[20:50] <d1gital> Itaku log in as root from terminal and startx
[20:50] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: well, you should probably do that first :)
[20:50] <Slart> Itaku: might be in the login window preferences
[20:50] <tyler_> Chalcedony: you can also buy thumbdrives maybe burn some CD but that may be a hassle.
[20:50] <OltreIrc`27323> Hello?Are there Italian?Contact me!Please
[20:50] <Itaku> mmk
[20:50] <Itaku> ill look for it
[20:50] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: Er... How do I it, then?
[20:50] <ay^> chalcedony: mkay, you could tell it which folders

[20:50] <J-a-k-e> Slart: that stinks, I'm something of an audio nut so will have to stay in winxp for now it seems. I know someone who has a m-audio card should be able to borrow it for an hour or so, m-audio even have linux drivers on their site.
[20:50] <Boohbah> don't hurt the bot!
[20:51] <Flare183> hehe rush to the it
[20:51] <Slart> J-a-k-e: yes.. it's very annoying.. email creative and tell them what you think.. seems they get a lot of fan-mail these days =)
[20:51] <ay^> chalcedony: say you wanted your homedir backed-up youd just tell tar to tar that dir and all files in it would get tared as well
[20:51] <Oddar> hello people, how do I use a patch-file
[20:51] <gregory> geoyo: right click on the file and extract it.
[20:51] <VSpike> now that's why I love linux.  Someone sent me a whole bunch of photos, one per email, all encoded as winmail.dat files.  Luckily I can use uudeview + tnef + a bit of bash to process the whole lot in one go straight from my spool and dump the files to my photos directory.
[20:51] <chalcedony> ay^: tyler-_ what i need is the step by step commands to back it up to another part of the same drive , tarring fist.. it's my home directory that has to be baked up before i upgrade to gutsy
[20:52] <Lamego> Oddar, man patch
[20:52] <tyler_> Creative sound cards are not to die for I think they make sound, sound like shit.
[20:52] <Flare183> baked?
[20:52] <tyler_> I bought one and it really sucked.

[20:52] <gregory> Oddar: is it a source code patch file?
[20:52] <BizMan2008> i have 2 othe rlinux boxes
[20:52] <BizMan2008> works fine
[20:52] <BizMan2008> its just htis one
[20:52] <BizMan2008> so its machine specific
[20:52] <FloodBot2> BizMan2008: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[20:52] <Flare183> !enter > BizMan2008
[20:52] <chalcedony> tyler-_: don't go anywhere, i appreciate your help
[20:53] <Lamego> Oddar, man patch tells you all you need to know about patching itself :)
[20:53] <Flare183> dang it

[20:53] <ay^> d'oh
[20:53] <Lamego> better tar -czvf (z for compressed)
[20:53] <ay^> yeah
[20:53] <tyler_> Anyone know anything about changing theme of those bars at top and bottum?
[20:53] <ay^> if you want that
[20:53] <tyler_> anyone?
[20:53] <amenado> BizMan2008-> on the subject ubuntu box, can you try  do a local ssh login with X forwarding?
[20:53] <Oddar> lamego: thnx :)
[20:54] <ay^> chalcedony: tar -czvf /home/youname/ /the/location/for/backup/filename_of_backup.tar
[20:54] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: about it?
[20:54] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: oh, how to start it... um try sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
[20:54] <ay^> there, left out the nick :) bad misstake in this chan
[20:54] <Lamego> Tyczek, those are called "panels"
[20:54] <J-a-k-e> Slart:  haha yes I'm not surprised especially after the daniel_k incident
[20:54] <ay^> lol! chalcedony that was wrong
[20:54] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: sudo: /etc/init.d/ssh: command not found
[20:54] <ay^> its the other way around
[20:54] <daire> should i use adobe flash or gnash swf for video in firefox?
[20:55] <Lamego> Ar-Pharazon, you dont have the ssh server installed
[20:55] <gregory> daire: first try gnash
[20:55] <Lamego> daire, adobe flash
[20:55] <Slart> J-a-k-e: yup.. I agree totally.. but this is bordering on !offtopic
[20:55] <geoyo> gregory ok i have extracted it, what to do now? i'm sorry, i am a beginner
[20:55] <chalcedony> ay^: can i message you to show you my actual command?
[20:55] <daire> :O
[20:55] <ay^> chalcedony: sure, I think
[20:55] <Slart> daire: adobe if you want it to work =)
[20:55] <daire> lol
[20:55] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: err, odd. sudo apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client
[20:55] <gregory> geoyo: you have a new folder, open it, and start the installer program
[20:55] <Lamego> Ar-Pharazon, sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[20:55] <daire> this is new to me, and also cool, being presented with multiple options for plugin downloads
[20:56] <juannicolas> Hi, I'm getting this problem when installing postgresql - http://pastebin.com/d6e4e410
[20:56] <Slart> daire: gnash is a great initiative.. I wish them all well.. but it's got a bit to go
[20:56] <daire> k ty
[20:57] <gregory> Slart: whats the overall opinion in this channel? gnash or adobe? just asking, new here by myself
[20:57] <virtigo> Hello, I hope to find someone who can help me with setting up internet on ubuntu

[20:57] <Lamego> juannicolas, which ubuntu version are you using ?
[20:57] <Slart> gregory: I think most people use adobe's flash
[20:57] <juannicolas> 6.06
[20:57] <gregory> Slart: ok
[20:57] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: yep, that's right... try again with the winscp thing
[20:57] <Slart> gregory: but I'm just guessing of course.. might be just me
[20:58] <Lamego> juannicolas, sudo apt-get install -f
[20:58] <juannicolas> same error
[20:58] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: Connection failed again.
[20:58] <Tyczek> Lamego, ?
[20:58] <virtigo> Im not even sure how to tell if drivers are installed for the eithernet controller, and if not how to install them
[20:59] <daire> i can't get over how smooth this os is running
[20:59] <gregory> Slart: no me too, i just dont want to interfere with ubuntu packages if not neccesary
[20:59] <daire> sorry offtopic
[20:59] <Slart> gregory: interfere? adobes flash is available as a package..
[20:59] <Slart> !info flashplugin-nonfree | gregory

[20:59] <amenado> BizMan2008-> have you tried yet? locally ssh login with X forwarding on that specific unbuntu?
[21:00] <Lamego> try to remove the erroneous packages

[21:00] <ichigo> Hi. I'm having problems setting my apache to resolve 2 sites on the same ip with different ports. http://apache.pastebin.ca/985085 there's my vhost configuration
[21:00] <ichigo> Any ideas ?
[21:00] <Slart> daire: define "long time".. minutes? hours? days?
[21:00] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: I'm setting FTP as file protocol instead of SFTP, that can't be the problem can it?
[21:01] <Lamego> ichigo, try ##windows
[21:01] <daire> slart: 5 minutes
[21:01] <sharperguy> is there a package i can install to protect me somehow from ACK DoS attacks?
[21:01] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: yep, that's the problem.
[21:01] <WildChild7> ok.. now that I'm in the x, how can I go out of x with a command line ? stopx ?
[21:01] <Slart> daire: it might download something from adobe's site.. that could be what's taking time
[21:01] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: But the other ones ak for a private key file
[21:02] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: ask, I mean, not ak
[21:02] <daire> slart: it failed to install and is now trying to recover
[21:02] <Oddar> where is the linux kernel located?
[21:03] <Starnestommy> Oddar: usually /boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r)

[21:03] <JSK> Hi, where can I enter a WPA2 Pre Shared key?
[21:03] <Lamego> Oddar, you need to get it: sudo apt-get install linux-source
[21:03] <BizMan2008> amenado: yes i have tried to no avial
[21:03] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: um. when do they ask for a private key?
[21:03] <Lamego> I believe you mean the linux kernel source
[21:03] <daire> Slart: is this because adobe don't really give a shit about linux users?
[21:03] <daire> it's trying a different ftp site now

[21:03] <EspenAO> Hi all, I have a question regarding a ubuntu installation... I'm not familiar using Linux (just a little FYI), but I have a laptop I want to remove XP on (which is installed now), but I don't have any cdrom, USB, nor any other removable media (except for a external harddrive which is empty). Does anyone if this is possible at all?
[21:03] <daire> :O
[21:03] <tyler_> !oh | tyler
[21:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about oh - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:04] <amenado> BizMan2008-> that meant your local ubuntu does not allow X forwarding
[21:04] <Slart> daire: I try not to judge to quickly.. but there might be some truth in what you say
[21:04] <WildChild7> Anyone? I've automatically logged in by startx& and now I'm in a gdm... how can I stop x with command line ?
[21:04] <djGentoo> I have a problem with networking
[21:04] <EspenAO> could I just download the files and "install" it from xp?
[21:04] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: Well there was a field for it in the winscp window...  It works anyway.
[21:04] <djGentoo> Wireless, IPW3945, E1505N
[21:04] <davetarmac> Hi all, i've got a VPN going with my works machine, but they run on Mac and I can't get access to the network drives from ubuntu - can anyone help?
[21:05] <Lamego> WildChild7, killall -9 X
[21:05] <djGentoo> NetworkManager keeps trying and failing to connect over and over again
[21:05] <amenado> WildChild7-> you are autologgedin via startx? how was that possible? to even run startx if you are not logged on?
[21:05] <danand_> WildChild7 - sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop?
[21:05] <Oddar> lamego: what do you meen? when i've installed ubuntu, isnt the kernel already installed?
[21:05] <djGentoo> Can anyone help? Ubuntu 7.04.
[21:05] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: all good now?
[21:05] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: It appears to work alright, thank you very much for the help
[21:05] <Conexion> I'm trying to close VLC media player... I hit exit on it... and the music is still playing... I tried to find the process to kill it, but it doesn't see the process and music keeps playing
[21:05] <stahl-werke> hello
[21:05] <djGentoo> ...?
[21:05] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: sorry it was such a headache after all
[21:05] <BizMan2008> amenado: well i can vnc locally
[21:05] <Lamego> Oddar, yes, but your question was about patching a kernel, patches are applied to sources, not to kernel binaries
[21:05] <WildChild7> danand_: I've tryed but gdm is there..
[21:06] <BizMan2008> amenado: its through ssh, only on that particular machine, i have the issue
[21:06] <juannicolas> root@QOS:/etc# dpkg-reconfigure postgresql-7.4
[21:06] <WildChild7> Amaranth: I'm remotely..
[21:06] <hw00djohn> hey, how do i kill a process in Ubuntu
[21:06] <juannicolas>  /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: postgresql-7.4 is broken or not fully installed
[21:06] <Oddar> Lamego: ok so i need the linux-source to patch it
[21:06] <graft> Lamego: well, you COULD have a binary patch, it's just not usual
[21:06] <Lamego> hw00djohn, kill pid
[21:06] <djGentoo> hw00djohn: use kill or killall
[21:06] <hw00djohn> firefox froze so i xkill'd it, but now i cant restart firefox
[21:06] <djGentoo> anyone have an answer for my issue?
[21:06] <amenado> BizMan2008-> am not sure if your command is correct, what is the exact command you type to ssh in locally  with X forwarding?
[21:06] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: meh, no problem. I'm just happy to finally have a way to backup my stuff... Stupid vista tricked me into locking myself out of the os.
[21:06] <Conexion> hw00djohn: in terminal - 'ps' to get the process ID then 'kill ID'
[21:06] <djGentoo> hw00djohn: try this:
[21:06] <Lamego> graft, sure you could, but you dot not have :)
[21:06] <hw00djohn> okay, thank you
[21:06] <djGentoo> killall firefox-bin
[21:06] <djGentoo> that should do it
[21:07] <Oddar> Lamego: even so, when i use apt-get to install linux-source... where would it be located?
[21:07] <graft> i prefer pkill
[21:07] <graft> pkill -9 -f firefox
[21:07] <Lamego> Oddar, /usr/src/linux (if i still remember)
[21:07] <daire> Slart: is there a way to kill the applying changes synaptics window? i've tried just closing it and firefox already prompted me to force quit
[21:07] <danand_> kill -9 $(pidof firefox-bin) :)
[21:07] <djGentoo> He's gone.
[21:08] <BizMan2008> amenado: well i ahve not ssh'd from a linux to linux machine, just windows to linux, using putty
[21:08] <djGentoo> Anyways, can anyone help me?
[21:08] <danand_> killed him :)
[21:08] <djGentoo> I have an issue with NetworkManager on Feisty.
[21:08] <amenado> BizMan2008-> well you didnt even do what I asked you to do...
[21:08] <Slart> daire: hmm.. run xkill in a terminal and click on the window you want to kill
[21:08] <BizMan2008> amenado: then i misunderstood u
[21:08] <Conexion> I'm trying to close VLC media player... I hit exit on it... and the music is still playing... I tried to find the process to kill it, but it doesn't see the process and music keeps playing - Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy)
[21:08] <BizMan2008> amenado: can i ssh in and do what you need me ot do, i am at work
[21:08] <djGentoo> I take that as a no?
[21:08] <EspenAO> does anyone know how to get ubuntu installed without any cdrom, usb, or whatever... got a thinkpad lite here...
[21:09] <graft> danand_: pkill is superior to pidof and killall in that it can match substrings, so you need not have the exact name of the binary
[21:09] <daire> slart: cool ty, that was painless
[21:09] <amenado> BizMan2008-> where is this ubuntu box?
[21:09] <graft> djGentoo: maybe if you stated your issue, people could help?
[21:09] <Slart>  graft, danand_ and pkill supports autocompleting using <tab> =)
[21:09] <danand_> graft - just wanted to give another kill command :)
[21:09] <gregory> CorbinFox: in a console type: ps axu | grep vlc. what is the processid of vlc?
[21:09] <djGentoo> I said there's an issue with NetworkManager, and that it tries and fails to connect over and over
[21:09] <Lamego> EspenAO, you need to have an external media to boot somwhoe
[21:09] <Conexion> I'm trying to close VLC media player... I hit exit on it... and the music is still playing... I tried to find the process to kill it, but it doesn't see the process and music keeps playing - Ubuntu 7.10.....anybody?
[21:09] <gregory> Conexion: in a console type: ps axu | grep vlc. what is the processid of vlc?
[21:09] <graft> Slart: it does? not my pkill... :(
[21:10] <davetarmac> Hi all, i've got a VPN going with my works machine, but they run on Mac and I can't get access to the network drives from ubuntu - can anyone help?
[21:10] <amenado> EspenAO-> two ways, if you already have linux on it, and if your ethernet supports  pxe booting
[21:10] <danand_> graft - that could also be dangerous though....
[21:10] <gregory> CorbinFox: sorry
[21:10] <Lamego> Conexion, ps -ef | grep vlc
[21:10] <graft> Slart: maybe my shell isn't cool enough
[21:10] <chimp> If you install software using sudo make install, is there an automated way to remove it?
[21:10] <BizMan2008> amenado: at home
[21:10] <BizMan2008> i am at work
[21:10] <Slart> chimp: sudo make uninstall
[21:10] <chimp> haha
[21:10] <daire> Slart: when i try to get gnash swf player now it tells me This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) already running. Please close that application first.
[21:10] <chimp> i should have tried that
[21:10] <graft> danand_: eh, kill is always a little dangerous... that just makes it more fun, in my opinion
[21:10] <amenado> BizMan2008-> when you get home later, try to ssh locally with X forwarding
[21:10] <Conexion> gregory: It lists 1755 and 2635
[21:10] <chimp> feel stupid now
[21:10] <Slart> graft: hmm.. odd.. afaik mine has always done that.. running gutsy
[21:10] <djGentoo> graft: so nothing?
[21:10] <Lamego> chimp, use checkinstall make install, so that the software get's installed like a package, you can remove it later
[21:10] <BizMan2008> how do i do that sir
[21:10] <CorbinFox> gregory: aheh, no worries
[21:10] <BizMan2008> what command amenado
[21:10] <gregory> now type kill -9 1755
[21:11] <chimp> i see lamega
[21:11] <EspenAO> amenado: got xp installed on it now ? so i was curious if there were any way to maybe partition my HD, then install it on there from windows... not sure, though
[21:11] <csais> yo i have a question... how can i open the windows files while im using ubuntu? i mean how can i explore the windows partitions?
[21:11] <Lamego> chimp, most makefiles do not provide an uninstall rule
[21:11] <graft> err, sorry, djGentoo - is it with all APs, or just one in particular?
[21:11] <EspenAO> amenado: sorry, no questionmark there after now
[21:11] <Slart> daire: hmm.. I'd just try logging off and on again... or rebooting.. you could kill the processes.. but it might be easier to just restart
[21:11] <daire> slart: will do ty
[21:11] <djGentoo> Only one, but it's the only one I have a key for
[21:11] <amenado> BizMan2008-> or if you have access to a linux box now, use your putty to log in with X forwarding and then attemp to log on to your home via ssh with X forwarding also
[21:11] <danand_> graft - :)
[21:11] <ay^> csais: they should be available to you in /media/
[21:11] <djGentoo> All the rest are protected and inaccessible.
[21:11] <Conexion> gregory: Lamego: That worked, awesome... now, what does grep do?
[21:11] <graft> djGentoo: but it can scan fine, anyway...
[21:11] <djGentoo> graft: Yes.
[21:11] <Dinasty> csais> go to Places->Computer
[21:11] <Lamego> Conexion, man grep
[21:12] <graft> djGentoo: and running dhcp by hand doesn't do it?
[21:12] <BizMan2008> amenaado: no, nothing here at work
[21:12] <amenado> EspenAO-> maybe you can use windows bootloader, i have not tried myself, please google for it..
[21:12] <djGentoo> graft: Haven't tried it...
[21:12] <BizMan2008> what command do i type in the terminal
[21:12] <EspenAO> amenado: thanks, appreciate it
[21:12] <amenado> BizMan2008-> then try it when you get home later..
[21:12] <_Rambaldi_> what command will untar a bunch of tar.gz for me, tar xzvf *.gz does not work
[21:12] <djGentoo> dhcpcd eth2?
[21:12] <gregory> Conexion: it takes the output from the ps command (| builds a pipe) and searches for the pattern string: "vlc"
[21:12] <Slart> !doesntwork | _Rambaldi_
[21:12] <ay^> Conexion:  is displays lines that match you criteria
[21:12] <ubotu> _Rambaldi_: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[21:12] <BizMan2008> amenado: ok what do i type in, ive only used putty through windows
[21:13] <davetarmac> i've got a VPN going with my works machine, but they run on Mac and I can't get access to the network drives from ubuntu - can anyone help?
[21:13] <csais> thanks dinasty
[21:13] <_Rambaldi_> what was that for Slart
[21:13] <Conexion> Thanks everyone :)
[21:13] <Slart> _Rambaldi_: there must be some kind of error message?
[21:13] <amenado> BizMan2008-> you have not used your ubuntu box yet? only windows stuff? then may I suggest learning linux a little bit via tutorials?
[21:13] <cecko> hi all, will I remain bootable after resizing /boot?
[21:13] <djGentoo> _Rambaldi_: try this: for i in *.tar.gz; do tar -zxvf $i; done
[21:13] <graft> djGentoo: over here it's dhcbd for some reason... but whatever runs your ship
[21:13] <cecko> (my partitions go in this order: /boot /windowz  "/"  /home)
[21:13] <BizMan2008> amenado: no i have used ubuntu for well over a year now
[21:13] <djGentoo> I'll try it and be back, thanks for the hint.
[21:13] <BizMan2008> ive never used ssh linux to linux
[21:13] <graft> djGentoo: oh mine runs through dbus, how irritating
[21:14] <Lamego> BizMan2008, if you need X11 forwarding, ssh -X host
[21:14] <djGentoo> graft: Your dhcpd or NetworkManager?
[21:14] <graft> djGentoo: my dhcpd
[21:14] <amenado> BizMan2008->  in command line  ssh -X localhost
[21:14] <Slart> _Rambaldi_: I just meant that "doesn't work" isn't really a good description.. are there error messages in syslog? do you get any output in the terminal? does the computer reboot?
[21:14] <dikdust> hi on lts (6.06) Is there a way to apt-get new kernels ?
[21:14] <graft> djGentoo: but, networkmanager is also part of that whole dbus tangle
[21:14] <BizMan2008> amenanado
[21:14] <tyler_> I need help my sound went off It was working like 5 minutes ago it's all pluged in everything.
[21:14] <djGentoo> argh
[21:14] <BizMan2008> ok now i use private key to get in
[21:14] <chimp> If you mess up an install is there a way to reset all its settings/configs files etc without reinstalling the os?
[21:14] <Lamego> dikdust, no, you would get into troubles
[21:14] <BizMan2008> how would i include that
[21:15] <Lamego> chimp, for a particular package, yes, remove it with --purge and reinstall it
[21:15] <graft> djGentoo: you could (a) kill dbus and (b) download dhclient, etc., and go the old-fashioned route, see if that works
[21:15] <chimp> Lamego: i mean more generally
[21:15] <Slart> chimp: I don't think there is a "reset everything to default" button.. what did you mess up?
[21:15] <chimp> :P
[21:15] <Lamego> BizMan2008, you dont need a private key to login
[21:15] <Lamego> chimp, no
[21:15] <Moofius> "virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory"
[21:15] <graft> djennewe: dhcp3-client is still in the repository
[21:15] <Dinasty> dikdust, to play with other kernels, you cant use apt-get, unless you write a install script for it
[21:15] <dikdust> Lamego, I mean, if I want to exclude bug fixes I need to recompile myself , there aren't a rep
[21:15] <YuriQ> I have really ugly Bold fonts in my Firefox, especially in GMail - they are extremely thick, and letters are squished together
[21:15] <BizMan2008> Lamego: how is that? thats how i set it up
[21:15] <graft> djennewe: never mind that, that was for djGentoo, who apparently died
[21:15] <Lamego> dikdust, yes, you will need to build it yourself
[21:15] <dikdust> ok thanks Dinasty and Lamego
[21:15] <YuriQ> I've followed a lot of the tutorials on ubuntuforums
[21:16] <Slart> YuriQ: perhaps you don't have the ms fonts installed?
[21:16] <dikdust> I guess I can wain for next lts :P
[21:16] <Lamego> Biohazard, hum ? the sshd is setup to request for a private key ?
[21:16] <chimp> Is ubuntu server, not so messed up but im trying to get vlc 0.9 compiled with ffmpeg compiled using swscale, i messed it up and have given up, but it made compiling vlc normally impossible for some reason
[21:16] <Slart> !mstcorefonts
[21:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mstcorefonts - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:16] <dikdust> than upgrade
[21:16] <cchild> can someone help with this bootup warning? " modprobe: WARNING: Error inserting padlock_sha"
[21:16] <Lamego> i meant bizman
[21:16] <YuriQ> So, once I have them installed - what are the Firefox settings that I have to do?

[21:17] <Jack_Sparrow> !find msttcorefonts
[21:17] <Slart> !fonts
[21:17] <ubotu> Found: msttcorefonts
[21:17] <ubotu> Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[21:17] <tyler_> It was all working 2 seconds ago
[21:17] <dikdust> for the damned ati hd 2600 I need to run "sudo dkms remove -m fglrx -v 8.471 --all" .. Is there any other method to "clean" kernel ?
[21:17] <Slart> YuriQ: try running this in a terminal, "sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts".. then restart firefox and try again
[21:18] <Slart> Thanks, Jack_Sparrow
[21:18] <Jack_Sparrow> tyler_, what did you run or install just before things changed
[21:18] <noob13> tyler_: perhaps u unplugged your speakers or turned your volume down?
[21:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Slart,  np
[21:18] <tyler_> All is pluged in
[21:18] <tyler_> Uhmmmm
[21:18] <tyler_> all I recall installing was
[21:18] <cchild> can someone help with this bootup warning: " modprobe: WARNING: Error inserting padlock_sha" ?
[21:18] <tyler_> some python
[21:18] <tyler_> stuff
[21:18] <daire> Slart: now i get the error E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.  and it tells me to report it, my firefox windows are all frozen again
[21:19] <Slart> daire: then do that.. "sudo dpkg --configure -a"
[21:19] <Slart> daire:  =)
[21:19] <menakcman> how to connect to a remote desktop running Vista ??
[21:19] <dikdust> or reenable restricted drivers but I guess there isn't on 6.06
[21:19] <daire> oh i did, but i didn't know i had to put sudo in
[21:19] <roico> hi... should i install the 64-bit or the 32-bit version?
[21:19] <daire> (i haven't learned what commands do yet:)
[21:19] <graft> roico: do you have a 64-bit machine?
[21:19] <roico> yes
[21:19] <YuriQ> I jsut ran apt-get install msttcorefonts
[21:19] <graft> roico: then i guess there's some benefit in installing the 64-bit version, eh
[21:19] <tyler_> If it helps I'm running 86x
[21:20] <YuriQ> it came back with: Couldn't get cwd: No such file or directory
[21:20] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: Err... There's a problem, namely this is kinda slow.
[21:20] <Jack_Sparrow> tyler_, you need to be more specific
[21:20] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: how slow?
[21:20] <mad_max02> I cant play a video file with mplayer32 anymore
[21:20] <daire> Slart: it's asking me for the sude password for my account, but i haven't set a sudo one and it won't take my regular password
[21:20] <Jack_Sparrow> tyler_, was is stuff from our repos or from outside sources
[21:20] <mad_max02> it says "Option [gnome-mplayer] needs a parameter at line 4
[21:20] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: Like, about a week to send over all of my stuff. Literally a week.
[21:20] <tyler_> My sound was playing fine then when I was playing chess I wanted 3D chess so I looked for some python updates
[21:20] <Slart> daire: check caps lock and typos
[21:20] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: rate? kb/s?
[21:20] <dikdust> 64bit version gives many problems
[21:20] <laurier57> hi, I just installed 4gb of ram on an abix ip35 pro and bios is seeing 4, but xubuntu gutsy is only seeing 3.29gb. is there a pae kernel or ???
[21:20] <tyler_> The stuff was from that updater.
[21:21] <Slart> daire: sudo password is your user password.. the same one you use to log in
[21:21] <menakcman> how do I connect to a remote desktop running Vista ??
[21:21] <daire> cool
[21:21] <tyler_> synaptic
[21:21] <roico> dikdust, what problems?
[21:21] <daire> it's doing stuff
[21:21] <dikdust> roico, limited software, wine doesn't run properly
[21:21] <cchild> can someone help with this bootup warning: " modprobe: WARNING: Error inserting padlock_sha" ?  blacklist did not work
[21:21] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: The ethernet card is 10 Mbps, but it went back and forth between 30 and 40 kb/s
[21:21] <BizMan2008> yeah is 64 bit still not stablke enough, or have stable enough packages to warrent using?
[21:22] <Lamego> roico, apart from wine, I didn't had any issues with 64 bits
[21:22] <dikdust> BizMan2008, I have tried it on 6.06
[21:22] <Slart> cchild: have you googled for that error message? there seems to be some threads about it in the forums
[21:22] <dikdust> and wine for me is a must
[21:22] <Jack_Sparrow> tyler_, I am involved with another issue atm.. try to find out what exactly you installed before you had the problem..  and if any of your repos are not-official repos
[21:22] <Lamego> 64 bits is stable !!!
[21:22] <dikdust> :P
[21:22] <BizMan2008> dikdust: what do u tihink
[21:22] <tyler_> It was openGL
[21:22] <roico> okay... i don't think i need wine, at least not now
[21:22] <Slart> BizMan2008: 64bit is stable.. but some things are just not available
[21:22] <tyler_> Python I installed
[21:22] <BizMan2008> causei have a core duo machine, with 4gigs
[21:22] <cchild> slart, yes

[21:23] <daire> slart: we have adobe flash :)
[21:23] <Slart> daire: yay.. success =)
[21:23] <cchild> slart google was opt # 1 but the proposed solution did not work
[21:23] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: that's definitely not right...
[21:23] <tyler_> Is there a backup from last restart.
[21:23] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: the ethernet shouldn't be the limiting factor, the wireless connection should be
[21:24] <dikdust> I think that kernel updates should be inclued in ubuntu lts
[21:24] <Slart> cchild: well.. I can't help you any further.. I just saw that there were some threads about it...
[21:24] <dikdust> almost security bug
[21:24] <dikdust> :P
[21:24] <Lamego> !ot | dikdust
[21:24] <ubotu> dikdust: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[21:24] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: do you normally have issues with your wirelss being slow?
[21:25] <dikdust> Lamego, ubotu sorry :P
[21:25] <cchild> slar, yes there is a thread and it points to another which i have tried
[21:25] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: No but my ISP gives me 100 kb/s anyway.
[21:25] <roico> Lamego, what about flash and java?
[21:25] <mad_max02> Can anyone help me with 32bit mplayer ???  I cant play a video file with mplayer32 anymore. it says "Option [gnome-mplayer] needs a parameter at line 4
[21:26] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: ow. is your wireless 802.11b or 802.11g?
[21:26] <BizMan2008> if im only using my box to surf web, download, listne to music, burn stuff, watch videos... is it worth to get 64 bit ubuntu?
[21:26] <Lamego> roico, both work fine for me
[21:26] <BizMan2008> also, do the 32bit programs work on it?
[21:26] <csais> can anyone tell me where can i find some tutorials for coding? for beginners, im totally new at it
[21:26] <roico> Lamego, okay, great...
[21:26] <Slart> Lamego: you can use Java applets in firefox on 64bit?
[21:26] <graft> csais: amazon.com
[21:26] <cchild> thanks anyways
[21:26] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: it says "Mixed (11b+11g)"
[21:26] <Lamego> roico, you can setup a 32bits chroot in case you need a 32 bits app
[21:27] <tyler_> I may reinstall ubunto
[21:27] <davetarmac> i've got a VPN going with my works machine, but they run on Mac and I can't get access to the network drives from ubuntu - can anyone help?
[21:27] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: nein, that's how your router is set up... what does your laptop do?
[21:27] <tyler_> ubuntu*
[21:27] <eax> Can anyone tell me how to make ACPI see my laptop battery, I'm running Feisty (7,04) on an Acer TravelMate 4310
[21:27] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: /sbin/iwconfig should tell you
[21:27] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: it shoudl also tell you the expected bitrate
[21:27] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: 11g
[21:27] <csais> thanks graft but i don0t want to buy a book i just want some tutorials  where i can get started
[21:27] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: And that's 54 Mb/s
[21:28] <graft> csais: a book is your best bet, really
[21:28] <csais> oh thank you, which one do u suggest?
[21:28] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: Wouldn't it be easier/faster to do this over the ethernet cards and not involve the router?
[21:29] <graft> csais: been years since i read one, but the one i used was 20 years old - "The C programming language", by Dennis Ritchie +  Brian Kernighan
[21:29] <csais> ight i'll look for it, thanks
[21:29] <Lamego> Slart, to be honest I am not sure, I said it is ok as in I didn't found any problems with java enabled pages
[21:29] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: you have to involve the router somehow, but you could plug your laptop into the router via your crossover cable and avoid the wireless
[21:29] <mohbana> is it possible to reduce my monitor brightness from with ubuntu (not using the buttons on the monitor)?
[21:29] <Slart> Lamego: hang on.. lemme find an url to try
[21:30] <_Rambaldi_> is there channel for themes?
[21:30] <Lamego> !themes | _Rambaldi_

[21:30] <eax> Can anyone tell me how to make ACPI see my laptop battery, I'm running Feisty (7,04) on an Acer TravelMate 4310
[21:30] <djGentoo> I checked, and my system doesn't have dhcpd, dhcpcd, or anything like that.
[21:30] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: I'd have to pull my pc out of it for that. The pc doesn't have wireless at all, except through the router.
[21:30] <csais> graft: another question, which is the best way to get used to linux?, reading, forums, tutorial, or just use it
[21:30] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: your router only has one wire port?
[21:31] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: Yeah
[21:31] <graft> csais: just use it
[21:31] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: hm. well, i'd buy a switch in any case, they're only like $20
[21:31] <noodlesgc> csais experience is the best
[21:31] <arch1_> hello
[21:31] <dan1el> join #ubuntu-de
[21:31] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: as for your connectivity issue... difficult to say.
[21:32] <csais> ok thanks
[21:32] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: run this on your lappy, see how it does: http://www.bandwidthplace.com/
[21:32] <Michael88> is there a way to make a NTFS HDD to ext3 without loseing the data on it???
[21:32] <mohbana> is it possible to reduce my monitor brightness from with ubuntu (not using the buttons on the monitor)?
[21:33] <Slart> Lamego: try this url, http://tempus.sp.se/applet/Paron_swe_2.html   it's a computer clock accuracy applet.. doesn't work for me
[21:34] <Michael88> !info format
[21:34] <ubotu> Package format does not exist in gutsy
[21:34] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: actually that one sucks, try this cnet one: http://reviews.cnet.com/7004-7254_7-0.html
[21:34] <Lamego> Slart, doesn't work for me neither :(
[21:34] <Slart> mohbana: yes.. if your monitor supports it.. search for i2 something.. i2c perhaps
[21:34] <Slart> Lamego: hrmpf.. to bad.. got my hopes up for a while =)
[21:34] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: So, um...
[21:35] <mohbana> Slart, sorry i am confused
[21:35] <YuriQ> if I modify .fonts.conf
[21:35] <YuriQ> how soon are the changes in effect?
[21:35] <Slart> mohbana: it's a protocol for controlling your monitor from your computer.. and you can get info from the monitor too
[21:35] <Distraught> can someone help me?
[21:35] <Distraught> plz
[21:36] <omnz0r> Distraught: with what?
[21:36] <Stroganoff> echo -n 100 > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness
[21:36] <Stroganoff> mohbana
[21:36] <Lamego> !anyone
[21:36] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[21:36] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: Sorry I dropped from the server... Yes only 1 port on router. So?
[21:36] <Distraught> i "lost" a partition
[21:36] <YuriQ> Distraught: what's the issue?
[21:36] <Distraught> i tried everything
[21:36] <Distraught> nothing worked
[21:36] <YuriQ> Distraught: give much greater detail
[21:36] <dubby> hey anyone, what is ubufox, how does it differ from firefox, and why does my synaptic update want to install it?
[21:36] <Slart> mohbana: there is an applet for the gnome-panel.. "monitor profile switcher" that can do it
[21:36] <YuriQ> what are the partitions originally, what tools did you use, etc.
[21:37] <tokei> hi everybody... is there anyone who is using latex-make? i get a "no rule to make target" error and the manual isn't helping... :/
[21:37] <Stroganoff> Distraught: http://btjunkie.org/torrent/Ultimate-Recovery-CD-2008-52in1-AIO/4333199f4c630cc55a519067f25b9f178eb38e8fac04
[21:37] <Distraught> i have an 80 GB HDD and i was installing ubuntu. I was in a hurry so i chose automated install
[21:37] <Stroganoff> lol
[21:37] <Distraught> ..
[21:37] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: well, so you have two options if you want a wired connection: (1) figure out how to setup your laptop with a static ip and wire it directly to your PC, or (b) buy a switch for $20
[21:37] <Distraught> my seconf partition was lost
[21:37] <Lamego> Distraught, was lost, how ?
[21:37] <Distraught> i can;t get it
[21:38] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: 1 doesn't sound so bad.
[21:38] <Distraught> gpart gparted testdisk
[21:38] <Distraught> ..
[21:38] <Distraught> nothing worked
[21:38] <Distraught> my HDD is shown as 40 GB
[21:38] <YuriQ> dude, stop panicking, first of all, and talk slowly. how big were the partitions initially?
[21:39] <Distraught> 2 partitions of 40GB each
[21:39] <Lamego> also explaining how they were "lost" could be helpfull
[21:39] <YuriQ> what filesystems on each?
[21:39] <Distraught> ext2
[21:39] <Pelican> hayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
[21:39] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: So how do I set up a static IP?
[21:39] <pedro__> !a
[21:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about a - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:39] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: potentially it isn't... the rough outline is: write down the IPs of both machines, set them both up with the same static IP, then wire them together and repeat your SCP thing
[21:39] <Distraught> lamego i was installing ubuntu and setup failed
[21:39] <YuriQ> ok
[21:40] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: in linux you can probably right-click on network manager and do it...
[21:40] <YuriQ> so, currently, you are in ubuntu - your HDD is what device?
[21:40] <chester_m> anyone knows how can i define a display size in VBoX?
[21:40] <YuriQ> is it SATA? PATA?
[21:40] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: on windows i'm not sure, you'll have to crawl around in the system settings thing, but it shouldn't be too hard
[21:40] <Lamego> Distraught, the ubuntu install does not delete partitions unless you tell him to do so :)
[21:40] <Distraught> i tried to install again i did it and my hdd is not shown
[21:40] <mad_max02> Can anyone help me with 32bit mplayer ???  I cant play a video file with mplayer32 anymore. it says "Option [gnome-mplayer] needs a parameter at line 4
[21:40] <djGentoo> graft: Nope, dhcdbd didn't help at all.
[21:40] <Lamego> Distraught, you are refering to 2 partitions on a single disk, or 2 disks ?
[21:40] <Distraught> 2 partitions
[21:40] <djGentoo> I ran it as root and as a normal user
[21:40] <djGentoo> and neither had any effect
[21:41] <Distraught> i don;t care where the data is i just need my capacity ( got a backup)
[21:41] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: The IP for windows stays at <IP_ADDRESS> so I'm guessing it's already static.
[21:41] <Distraught> any deas?
[21:41] <Distraught> ideas
[21:41] <Lamego> Distraught, if you dont care about yourt data you just need to create the second partition
[21:41] <YuriQ> type in "df" and paste it in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[21:41] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: no, just your router consistently assigns it the same IP
[21:41] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: it almost certainly uses DHCP
[21:41] <djGentoo> graft: No ideas?
[21:41] <Lamego> Distraught, sudo fdisk -l
[21:42] <Distraught> lamego you didn;t get it there is no other partition no unpartitional space anything
[21:42] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: It's static or the other ethernet card too.
[21:42] <Distraught> soz nothing.onlu 40 gb
[21:42] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: I can ping both ways over the crossover now, btw
[21:42] <Lamego> Distraught, sudo fdisk -l
[21:42] <graft> djGentoo: nein, other than googling your card for similar reports
[21:42] <djGentoo> graft: :(
[21:42] <Lamego> and post it on pastebin
[21:42] <Moofius> How to enable universe/multiverse repositories?
[21:42] <Pelican> yeah mycelium
[21:42] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: you have two cards in that thing?
[21:42] <Distraught> i allready tried that
[21:43] <Lamego> !repos | Moofius
[21:43] <ubotu> Moofius: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories

[21:43] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: in the PC i mean?
[21:43] <Lamego> if you want help, provide the required info please
[21:43]  * chalcedony smiles
[21:43] <Moofius> in the console that is :P

[21:44] <Lamego> Moofius, sudo nado /etc/apt/sources.lst
[21:44] <mad_max02> Can anyone help me with 32bit mplayer ???  I cant play a video file with mplayer32 anymore. it says "Option [gnome-mplayer] needs a parameter at line 4". What should I do ??
[21:44] <chester_m> where i can find the addons to virtualbox'
[21:44] <chester_m> ?
[21:44] <Lamego> Distraught, the linux kernel is identifying that disk with a 40 GB capacity
[21:44] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: yep
[21:44] <chester_m> there are no on repos
[21:44] <tokei> Moofius: run "sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list" and remove the comments from the respective lines...
[21:45] <Distraught> lamego that;s what i am saying but my disk is 40GB (any idea how to fix this?)
[21:45] <Distraught> lamego that;s what i am saying but my disk is 80GB (any idea how to fix this?)
[21:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Moofius, you can also go to system..admin..software sources and enable them there
[21:45] <Moofius> Jack_Sparrow: not from ssh ;)
[21:45] <Jack_Sparrow> agreed
[21:45] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: I think I got winscp to work over the crossover.
[21:46] <Angela_Smith> hi all, What do we use to configure compiz? is it the gnome-compiz-manager? or is there something better I should use? TIA :)
[21:46] <Lamego> Distraught, have you checked your bios options for the disk config ? I remember that were some options that could affect the disk size detection, on older bios
[21:46] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: it says "1,494 Kib/s"
[21:46] <Pelican> swiftfox / firefox crashes like its going out of style
[21:46] <Pelican> why
[21:46] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: nice
[21:46] <Moofius> "FATAL -> Failed to fork."
[21:46] <Moofius> from apt-get
[21:46] <Lamego> during boot does the BIOS properly reports the disk size ?
[21:46] <Distraught> lamego i never checked bios (siemens notebook) because it does't allow any config
[21:47] <Lamego> Distraught, well, does it report the disk size at boot ?
[21:47] <Moofius> *aptitude
[21:47] <Ar-Pharazon> graft: That's 1.5 MB/sec, correct?
[21:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Pelican, How did you install flash/gnash and what addons did you put in.. is this ff3 or the ff supplied with ubuntu
[21:47] <Distraught> lamego no it only shows that i have a hard disk ( no size)
[21:47] <Lamego> Distraught, I am not aware of any x86 PC from this century without some kind of BIOS config :P
[21:47] <Distraught> lamego my english is bad sorry
[21:48] <Lamego> Distraught, btw, you mentioned you did a Ubuntu install, so why the only listed partition is NTFS ?
[21:49] <Lamego> why is
[21:49] <almostdvs> will somebody please tell me what it is that keeps renaming my windows partition    e.g.  /media/disk/...  to /media/disk-2/..
[21:49] <Distraught> i'm running live cd now and i tried many ways to get my capacity back .. it's formated ( i told you i don't care about the data)
[21:49] <Pelican> gnash was synaptic installed firefox 2m jack sparrow
[21:49] <graft> Ar-Pharazon: maybe, dunno what they mean by Kib
[21:50] <Distraught> lamego i'm running live cd now and i tried many ways to get my capacity back .. it's formated ( i told you i don't care about the data)
[21:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Distraught, start from the bios...
[21:50] <Lamego> Distraught, your issue is not Ubuntu related, since you have windows installed you can also check from it that your disk size is 40 GB, if you do have a physical 80GB disk you probably have a misconfiguration at the BIOS level
[21:50] <Distraught> i can't do any configs there
[21:50] <Osirys> Hi
[21:50] <Osirys> I need help
[21:50] <ay^> graft: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibibit
[21:50] <ay^> Kib
[21:51] <Lamego> or, your BIOS does not support such a larger disk (which also happens with very old BIOSes)
[21:51] <Osirys> I have to add a new user in my system, and then connnect within with ssh
[21:51] <Lamego> osimoveit, man adduser
[21:51] <Lamego> ops, Osirys

[21:52] <Distraught> lamego do you think if i update the bios maybe fix the problem?
[21:52] <graft> ay^: if only people adhered so nicely to conventions
[21:52] <Lamego> Distraught, eventually yes

[21:53] <the-killer> !grub
[21:54] <Lamego> Distraught, you will need to recreate your partitions
[21:55] <almostdvs> can somebody tell me how to remove older kernels?
[21:55] <Lamego> (in case your disk gets properly recognized)
[21:55] <Distraught> lamego i don;t care about the data i've got backups on a fileserver
[21:55] <the-killer> i have slackware and windows and ubuntu installed and when i had update slackware kernel i have a kernel panic when i boot with slax so i need to rebuild grub anyone can help pliz ?

[21:56] <almostdvs> Lamego: will that get rid of all the older kernels
[21:56] <Lamego> the-killer, follow the ubotu instructions
[21:57] <Lamego> almostdvs, no, you need to specify the older kernels
[21:57] <cdx> how are you
[21:57] <almostdvs> so "linux-image-version" is a variable
[21:57] <cdx> jupi
[21:58] <Lamego> almostdvs, dpkg -l linux-image*
[21:58] <almostdvs> your losin me...
[21:58] <Lamego> almostdvs, yes, I mean, linux-image-version, where version is one of the installed versions
[21:58] <chalcedony> does anyone have a recommendation for a regular low-priced dvd burner that i can buy locally?
[21:59] <Lamego> the dpkg command allows you to list all the kernel packages, ii means installed
[21:59] <chalcedony> we have bought two sony dvd burners.. both don't work
[21:59] <jords> my asus works well....
[21:59] <almostdvs> Lamego: can you give me a sample line
[22:00] <chalcedony> jords: ty
[22:00] <Lamego> almostdvs, sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic

[22:04] <zero__> hey if i install the beta, will i be able to upgrade to the stable when it comes out?
[22:04] <Lamego> zero__, yes, but for hardy, gor to #ubuntu+1

[22:04] <Lamego> go
[22:04] <zero__> \thx
[22:06] <BrightEyes`> hello. how does the ext3 file system work?
[22:06] <Lamego> !ext3
[22:06] <ubotu> ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org
[22:06] <Stroganoff> BrightEyes`: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3
[22:06] <BrightEyes`> Lamego which is the best filesystem supported from linux?
[22:06] <Lamego> !best
[22:06] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.
[22:06] <Lamego> I would keep with ext3
[22:07] <zero__> gettin no help in there, how to upgrade to beta?
[22:07] <Lamego> zero__, keep asking there, here we don't use it
[22:08] <Lamego> and reading the topic is always a good start when joining a channel
[22:08] <jorgenpt> I'm running amarok and it's using 96% on a dualcore 2GHz. When I search in the media lib the music stutters. Can someone recommend a lightweightish mediaplayer with a medialib?
[22:08] <BrightEyes`> i didnt know that the ext3 filesystem need defragmentation. why is that? doesnt the filesystem moves the data blocks so they will all be near to their familiar?
[22:08] <Lamego> !defrag | BrightEyes`
[22:08] <ubotu> BrightEyes`: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed.
[22:08] <bofe> I'm interested in setting up a static IP address for my Gutsy box. I need to be able to do this from the command line. Any ideas?
[22:09] <almostdvs> Lamego:  does vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic sound like an appropriate kernel name;   i just don't want to eff up my stuff
[22:09] <Lamego> bofe, you just need to edit /etc/network/interfaces
[22:09] <bofe> Lamego: I'm in that file. I'm not sure what to put in for "broadcast" or "network"
[22:09] <iclebyte> bofe, sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.100.x netmask <IP_ADDRESS> broadcast <IP_ADDRESS> up
[22:09] <Lamego> bofe, those specific values depend on your network config
[22:10] <Steven1> I'm still having problems getting a working display driver for my card and monitor. Any ideas?
[22:10] <Lamego> if you have other computers already configured, or dchp, check their config
[22:10] <BSG75> to install 64 ubuntu on an intel machine .. do I use the amd64 iso?
[22:11] <Lamego> almostdvs, linux-image-blah-blah, sounds, the vmlinuz is the kernel file, not the package name
[22:11] <bofe> Lamego: Okay. I want the IP to be <IP_ADDRESS> -- the router IP is <IP_ADDRESS>. It's connected to the network right now via DHCP.
[22:11] <BSG75> grr let me ask that again .. to install 64bit ver of ubuntu do I use the amd64 iso?
[22:11] <Steven1> Anyone know how to get my ATI Radeo x850 card drivers working and also my monitor as well.
[22:11] <Lamego> gw is the <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:11] <Steven1> ?
[22:11] <Lamego> BSG75, yes
[22:12] <BSG75> Lamego: thanks .. they should really consider renaming that iso from amd64 to just 64bit
[22:12] <BSG75> it's bloody confusing
[22:12] <__SiftinDotCom> ???
[22:12] <Lamego> bofe, if it's connected with dchp right now, just check the config with: ifconfig
[22:12] <Bender> how do you set up a network bridge from wlan0 to eth0
[22:12] <Lamego> BSG75, and you should read how is it called AMD64 :P
[22:13] <BSG75> Lamego: you a funny man :) .. I am reading now and realizing how stupid my question was
[22:13] <Steven1> I've tried everything I can think of but can't get my video card and monitor to work higher than 800x600 at 24-bit.
[22:13] <BSG75> Lamego: but I still stand by my comment of changing the name from amd64 to just 64 :)
[22:13] <jorgenpt> When I search in the media lib under Amarok on a dualcore 2GHz, the music stutters. Can someone recommend a lightweightish mediaplayer with a medialib?
[22:13] <Bender> how do you set up a network bridge from wlan0 to eth0?
[22:14] <Steven1> jorgenpt: Doesn't xmms have a media lib?
[22:14] <Lamego> Bender, I guess you mean routing ? since both are on different nets ?
[22:14] <bofe> Lamego: I've got the ifconfig output here. http://pastebin.ca/985216 I set broadcast, but I still am not sure what to put for "network".
[22:14] <jorgenpt> Steven1: Does it?
[22:14] <Bender> to make my xbox work on it
[22:14] <Lamego> or maybe its bridging :P
[22:14] <Bender> and yes
[22:14] <Steven1> jorgenpt: I think so. It's pretty much a clone of winamp.
[22:14] <jorgenpt> I only think it had a playlist?
[22:15] <ay^> Steven1: i think it doesnt
[22:15] <BSG75> bender: are you trying to give your xbox ip via dhcp?
[22:15] <Bender> yes
[22:15] <Steven1> jorgen: Well nevermind then. Still a cool player though.
[22:15] <ay^> It has playlist, but the medialibrary i think is missing
[22:15] <BSG75> do you have a dhcp server running?
[22:15] <Quentin`> Hey there :)
[22:15] <Bender> no
[22:15] <BSG75> bender: if not .. google ubuntu dhcp server howto
[22:15] <Steven1> So anyone help me get my display working?
[22:15] <Charlie_Steiger> hey uhh can anyone tell me how to configure my sound card on ubuntu 7.10?
[22:16] <BSG75> bender: there is a good wiki on the ubuntu wiki
[22:16] <Bender> ok
[22:16] <Lamego> bofe, there is no "network" field
[22:16] <lazarus> i am not happy
[22:16] <almostdvs> how do i restart and shut down from terminal
[22:16] <ay^> Steven1: I presume you have all the drivers needet working
[22:16] <Steven1> Me either lazarus. I upgraded to Hardy, and now my graphics don't work right.
[22:16] <ay^> almostdvs: reboot
[22:16] <BSG75> bender: it's pretty easy to follow .. holler if you get it all up and running and need a hand then :)
[22:16] <Lamego> face eth0 inet static address blahblah netmask blahblah gateway blahblah
[22:16] <harveyd> had a slight problem installing the hardy heron beta, when I login to the normal session, it accepts the password, starts loading, the goes back to the login screen

[22:16] <Bender> thanks
[22:16] <doodle> Can someone help me?  When i boot up my xubuntu 7.10 laptop, i sign in, adn then i just get a mouse icon and an orange screen.  It started up fine before but when i tried to uninstall a few programs, it froze.  When i rebooted, this is what happened.  I tried starting up with failsafe, but same thing happens.
[22:17] <lazarus> second hdd screwed
[22:17] <Lamego> bofe, netstat -r
[22:17] <efirewick> Hello. Is there a way to reinstall/repair 7.10 from the live cd? I un-installed LAMP and it took half the os with it...
[22:17] <Steven1> ’╗┐ay^: Yeah I have the restricted drivers on and they don't work. I also have fsxlg or whatever it's called and they don't work either for some reason.
[22:17] <magicrobotmonkey> anyone seen this: sudo: unable to resolve host lappy686
[22:17] <harveyd> it does the same from the live cd, says "user ubuntu will login in 10 seconds" then gets stuck in a loop
[22:17] <thenetduck> Is there any reason to wait to install Hardy Heron Beta vs installing it in 10 days?
[22:17] <bofe> Lamego: Do you want me to pastebin the output?
[22:17] <magicrobotmonkey> where lappy686 is my hostname
[22:17] <BSG75> thenetducks: I am installing now :)
[22:17] <Lamego> efirewick, yes, assuming apt-get is working on the target system
[22:17] <harveyd> if I choose a gnome failsafe session, it works fine
[22:17] <ay^> thenetduck: yes improvements will be done in 10 days
[22:17] <Lamego> bofe, well, do you still have doubts ?
[22:18] <bofe> Lamego: I'm gonna go for it. Thank you so much for your help.
[22:18] <drzed> hi there
[22:18] <ay^> Steven1: hmm then I have little to add..
[22:18] <BSG75> ay^: won't we get that anyway via apt?
[22:18] <lazarus> how do you check disks for bad sectors in ubuntu
[22:18] <Lamego> bofe, ifconfig provides, ip, netmask, broadcast
[22:18] <efirewick> Lamego: maybe. I'll check
[22:18] <drzed> which kernel version is incl in ubuntu v. 6.10?
[22:18] <Lamego> netstat -r provides the default gw, which is your router ip
[22:18] <ay^> BSG75: well.. yes, but I was told yesterday it was better to wait for the real deal
[22:18] <BSG75> ay^: but of couse
[22:18] <Steven1> ’╗┐ay^: Damn. I've been working on it for about two days now since I upgraded to Hardy and still no joy.
[22:18] <thenetduck> why?
[22:19] <BSG75> ay^: managing expectations is a hard thing :)
[22:19] <ay^> Because of the things thats getting improved ><
[22:19] <hyperstream> 7.10 is called by what name?
[22:19] <thenetduck> BSG75, yarrr...
[22:19] <hyperstream> gutsy ?
[22:19] <efirewick> Lamego: yeah, it is.
[22:19] <Lamego> hypercity, yes
[22:19] <ay^> You know.. the improvements..? :(
[22:19] <doodle> Can someone help me real quick?
[22:19] <erUSUL> drzed: 6.10 ?? iirc 2.6.17
[22:19] <BSG75> thenetduck: just remember it's BETA.. as in .. might have issue ... not a weapon to bash ubuntu :P
[22:20] <Lamego> efirewick, so yes, you can boot from a live, or use the recovery option (from the alternate cd)
[22:20] <BSG75> I am installing the 64bit ver
[22:20] <lazarus> help
